[00:00] Few weeks ago I installed ubuntu 8.10 in this PC, ok... I installed some Open-GL games (Assault Cube, Glest and Warzone2100) and my driver NVDIA GeForce FX5500 was installed. Then I decided to update my ubuntu to 9.04 and so I had to re-install my NVIDIA driver once again... But now the games starts a little slower, only after 1 minute or 2 they run normally, that wasn't happening before the update and it bothers me a little... Please, d [00:00] ah and it's the desktop edition of course.. heh [00:00] I have samba share working for my ntfs partition of my desktop and laptop so I can access My Documents, etc. I was wondering if there was a way to set it up so these folders automatically sync with each other.......grsync give an error [00:00] Bezerker - how do I restart notifications?? [00:01] I'm trying to chroot a user and it works, but even though I've copied /bin/bash to $HOME/bin/, it says it can't find /bin/bash when I try to ssh in. [00:01] lucky: i dont know anything else that can be, i was working on windows vista and it was perfect but i dont like windws vista, so i got kubuntu and its nice and everything but everytime i get a fullscreen it shuts down [00:01] Guys, I'm really new to Ubuntu, and I'm trying to get the Desktop Cube in compiz to work, and I set the Unfold hot key to z but when I press that nothing happens. but if I change the workstations from 2x2 to 4x1 it works, but it's not a cube, it shows them all next to each other [00:01] quietshaman, right click an empty area and click add to panel, look for notification area and drag it to the bar [00:01] is there a way to install the ptopritary nvidia drivers form apt-get via the command line? [00:01] Just now in ##windows: "[The_Toxic_Mite] WINDOWS USERS ARE FAGGOTS - TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT A FAGGOT, COME TO #ubuntu !!!" [00:02] How come I can't run an .exe file beacause of "not enough disk space" when the disk it is on have plenty of space? [00:02] kronix: i hate people [00:02] Will you guys please control your trolls? [00:02] Guys, I can't even go to my bottom workspaces, why? [00:02] Wow, that's lame. [00:02] Bezerker - Problem solved - here's a beer to brighten your night...many thanks...excuse the duhhh! [00:02] Ogre: set the hotkey, Press it and HOLD the buttons, then drag with the mouse. [00:02] kronix, your trolling now [00:02] kronix, el oh el. [00:02] lucky, why have you been hiding? [00:03] ascheel, I can't even click one of my bottom two workspaces and make it open [00:03] kronix: hiding? [00:03] From us. [00:03] also, ascheel that doesn't work [00:03] Ogre: sorry I can't help much past that. :( [00:03] kronix: They're not "our" trolls =/ [00:03] I'm having an interesting issue with what I presume is Nautilus. I've found quite a lot of temporary fixes for my problem on the tubes, but I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me. Quit simply put: Nautilus doesn't start with Ubuntu, leaving my desktop blank without the ability to right click. Typing nautilus into the console or run application dialog brings it back...but it randomly decides it would like to disappear [00:03] hey guys, my screen resolution is wrong after installation, how can i set it in xorg or other place? i need 1366 x 768 [00:03] nacho__: if I had to guess, it's probably an issue with power management in the kernel, and that won't be changed by changing your desktop environment. === Shinobi is now known as Guest84338 [00:03] Ogre, can't click on the individual workspaces with the mouse? [00:04] nacho___: if I had to guess, it's probably an issue with power management in the kernel, and that won't be changed by changing your desktop environment. [00:04] ascheel, when I click one of my bottom two (2x2) it doesn't do anything, but it works if I click either of the top ones [00:04] Ogre: then I'm sorry. :( I won't be much help to you [00:05] AbsoluteZero: well, if it helps you know you're not losing your mind, that happens to me randomly, as well. [00:05] Thank you, lucky...makes me feel a smidge better. [00:05] None of the fixes I've found are permanent. [00:05] I never really bothered to look into it, since alt-f2 -> nautilus is quick enough. [00:05] perhaps it's crashing on startup? (or randomly) [00:06] Yes it is, I think. [00:06] seanthegeek: I don't know about it but you can go to the NVIDIA site and look for your driver for linux, download it, you need to stop the GDM to install the driver, after you done with it you can start the GDM again... [00:06] I haven't experienced it since i upgraded to 9.04 [00:06] When I DO start it again using the terminal, I get a few errors. [00:06] lucky: maybe its that, cause when it shuts down, shows the splash screen of kubuntu and all the steps like i select the shutdown button, and when its a hardware problem just shutsdown [00:06] Like how it can't find "ubuntulooks" and then a few other errors about window sizing. [00:06] flash still will not work [00:07] Cerrdor, define still [00:07] lucky: then the only way that i can fix that (in case thats the problem) is recompilating???? [00:07] after the upgrade to jaunty [00:07] I tried purging flashplugins and flashplugin-installer and still nothing [00:08] nacho___: recompiling* and unless you know what settings to change in the kernel configuration, that wouldn't likely fix it. [00:08] nacho___: I can't help you further, perhaps you can google for your make of laptop (perhaps it's chipset if you know what it is) and ubuntu / linux. [00:08] ok, then my next better option is reinstalling? [00:08] ok [00:08] Anyone have any idea why there's would be one red pixel at the top of my screen, but when I pull a window off of the screen over it, or to the right hand side off the screen, the pixel goes back to whatever colour it should be? [00:09] ty lucky [00:09] i have a Nvidia8600 with the 180.44 driver, are there any other compatible drivers? and where to find\name? synaptic? [00:10] Correction, the pixel just shows on green/dark gray colours, and when I pull a window off the right side it simply dims. [00:11] hello all [00:11] I have samba share working for my ntfs partition of my desktop and laptop so I can access My Documents, etc. I was wondering if there was a way to set it up so these folders automatically sync with each other.......grsync give an error === fluurp is now known as sluurp === Shinobi is now known as Guest57561 [00:12] can anyone assist with this flash issue? [00:12] getting flash to work with jaunty [00:13] what's the best way to do raid1 on linux? hardware or software controlled? [00:13] Cerrdor: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [00:13] 32 [00:14] Here are the errors I get when I try to start nautilus through the terminal: [00:14] (nautilus:4037): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks", [00:14] ** (nautilus:4037): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported [00:14] It's weird...because I don't have a monitor, it's a netbook... [00:14] AbsoluteZero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] Sorry...didn't know about paste. [00:15] sry, can anyone answer my driver question, pls? :) [00:15] can anyone assist with this flash issue? [00:15] getting flash to work with jaunty [00:16] has anyone seen cast? [00:16] If you go to adobe's website they have a special flash package just for ubuntu. Should work just fine. [00:16] That's what I did. === deniz is now known as Guest57391 [00:17] I got a command like this. "ftpasswd --passwd --name=test --uid=1001 --home=/mnt/raid5/vendors/test --shell=/bin/false" Is there some way to put it in a file called GO. so everytime I run GO john , it'll run this command "ftpasswd --passwd --name=john --uid=1002 --home=/mnt/raid5/vendors/john --shell=/bin/false" Also I need it also to create a directory "mkdir /mnt/raid5/vendors/john" Also the UID need to be change to UID=1002. Anyone know of a way to do this [00:17] can someone help me recover my deleted data?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7787919#post7787919 [00:17] Stupid nautilus. [00:17] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:18] sluurp: the only way to get the newest driver is to download an install manually. i did it and saw no benefit so went back to tthe ubuntu supplied driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.31.html [00:18] jtaji [00:18] doesnt work [00:19] trying to install w32codecs and mplayer plugin getting unresovleable depends [00:19] I've searched and searched, but i cant seem to find any related docs. Is there a compatibility issue between the intel 945g chipset and the proprietary ati driver ? === funkyHat is now known as funkyCat [00:19] sluurp: the downside is if there is a kernel upgrade you will have to reinstall the nvidia driver again [00:20] Any got a clue about my question? One red pixel at the top of my screen, disappears if I put a window off the top of the screen or off the right side of the screen. Only seems to show on green/dark gray. [00:20] anyone know how to prevent the gnome-panel to move to the left monitor on dual view mode (intel gfx) when using "xrandr --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS --noprimary --output LVDS --primary --preferred --nograb". I want to have VGA/external monitor left to my notebook display, but gnome panels shoulg stay on LVDS/notebook display [00:20] ramma, so, it disappears when you put a window over it? [00:20] anyone seen jtaji or cast [00:21] why are there 3 floodbots? [00:21] Berzerker: When I put the window over it, and off the screen. If I just place the top bar of a window of it (which happens to be green) it just gets a little darker.\ [00:21] Few weeks ago I installed ubuntu 8.10 in this PC, ok...

Please, d [00:21] legend2440 | thanks, i*ll check it out [00:21] ramma, can you take a screenshot? [00:22] 2) why are the floodbots flooding the chatroom? [00:22] Berzerker: I'll try, it'll take me a minute. [00:22] ramma, ok [00:22] dec23, you can /ignore the bots if you like [00:22] hell, is ubuntu still alive?

[00:23] wireless is very slow [00:23] i have other wireless n at home and they are fine [00:23] legend2440 in think my nvidia card is the reason for the freeze [00:24] l1ghts0ut: is it atheros? [00:24] legend2440 or the drivers [00:24] Broadcomm [00:24] don't know about them, sor [00:24] Berzerker: The red pixel isn't in the screen shot, so I guess it's actually the display itself. :/ [00:24] sluurp: when does it freeze? [00:25] ramma, sounds like it. [00:25] danbhfive: Broadcom BCM4322 to be specific [00:25] I can ssh into my Ubuntu system as the account I created when I first made the system, but I can't with any other accounts. Suggestions? [00:26] legend2440 randomly, when i surf on youtube and click on a link and sometimes straight @ the login screen [00:26] duiu: don't the others need to be member of the group ssh (i'm not sure) [00:27] For some time I have problems with ubuntu 9.04. My pc freezes completely and I can do nothing to resolve the error. I have to reboot. At the same time, my hard drive makes a nasty noise. From time to time, the PC freezes and thaws just a few minutes. I have a SATA hard drive. I thought the problem was hard drive, but I have the same problem with other hard drives that work fine on another server. This is my dmesg after the [00:27] problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/253399/ and this is my kernel.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/253400/ . Do you think that the problem could come from the motherboard? (sata bus)? Thanks ;) [00:27] legend2440 and im a noob in reading log files [00:27] anyone else able give me a hand troubleshooting the wireless N on a Dell Mini 10v?

[01:05] hold on a second [01:06] I have trouble creating a live cd. I use imgburn for windows and when verifying it has a problem with the file casper\filesystem.squashfs . Ubuntu live boot also finds "error in 1 file" without specifying anything, and I can run the live thing but cannot install it because of error in the cd. I've made several cd's at low speed burn and get the same problem [01:06] I've downloaded the iso over and over also and no help. iso seems good from md5 [01:07] emil111: i know it doesn't help much, but i always use imgburn and i've burned lots of ubuntu disks over the years :/ [01:07] fryfrog: always something. thanks, I also use it a lot and never had problems before [01:07] never burned ubuntu disks before tho [01:07] Lunixed you may want to try this free vpn service called ---> itshidden.com [01:08] hi [01:08] Can i just not have popping up ? [01:08] can youtube.dl grab videos from other sites? [01:08] well updates keep you secure [01:08] Anyone here use Empathy and Sofiasip? [01:08] so i'd install the updates [01:08] If network admins know that i use proxy tunneling then hey will ban my LAN port :( [01:09] Hi there. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 64-Bit on my new laptop. (I'll provide the link after this message.) It's giving me an error when installing at around 57%. I've tried burning the disc twice. I installed the 32-bit version from the official disc just fine. Any ideas? [01:09] http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9370441&st=gateway+laptop&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218093004316 [01:09] in aptitude, whats the difference between removing and purging? [01:09] vpn is a virtual private network connection ...try it out [01:09] emil111: have you tried the verify option in imgburn? [01:09] Xerran1: purge also gets rid of config files, afair [01:09] fryfrog: yes the verify option is the one telling me about the casper filesystem squash file being bad in some way [01:09] hmm Thanks :) [01:10] please i am beggin you guys, why wont my audio card play anything except mp3's, it wont even play the opening music for ubuntu, just a system beep [01:10] fryfrog: is purging safe? [01:10] the file also takes up some 98% of the size of the .iso so I guess it's an important file [01:10] emil111: ah, and i am sure you have actually tried booting it? [01:10] oh [01:10] hey, I have a weird problem. I have a NAT with a netgear router. It has been working fine but suddenly today the router loses internet connection whenever I connect with my linux system, like as soon as I start up the dhclient on the linux box the lights on the router go off. the router connects fine with a windows system, thats what I cant figure out [01:10] emil111: another option would be to grab the -alternate install disk [01:10] bazhang, how can I install youtube-dl? [01:10] fryfrog: yes I can boot the cd, I can run live from the cd with no trouble. it's only when I try install that it does not work [01:10] is there any way to sync samba share files? [01:11] For some time I have problems with ubuntu 9.04. My pc freezes completely and I can do nothing to resolve the error. I have to reboot. At the same time, my hard drive makes a nasty noise. From time to time, the PC freezes and thaws just a few minutes. I have a SATA hard drive. I thought the problem was hard drive, but I have the same problem with other hard drives that work fine on another server. This is my dmesg after the [01:11] problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/253399/ and this is my kernel.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/253400/ . Do you think that the problem could come from the motherboard? (sata bus)? Thanks ;) [01:11] faryshta, sudo apt-get install youtube-dl [01:11] fryfrog: I didnt know about hte alternate install disk ill look for it [01:11] bazhang, lol thanks I was aiming to download it from the page. [01:11] emil111: it is an ncurses installer, thats what i prefer to use, worth a try i guess [01:11] faryshta, to use , it's youtube-dl -t url [01:11] Chessguy: rsync [01:11] it gives an error [01:12] also any idea how long "creating the virtual dikss" for WUBE is supposed to take? looks like it hugn up but I dunno [01:12] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 64-Bit on my new laptop. (I'll provide the link after this message.) It's giving me an error when installing at around 57%. I've tried burning the disc twice. I installed the 32-bit version from the official disc just fine. Any ideas? [01:12] http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9370441&st=gateway+laptop&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218093004316 [01:12] wait grsync or rsync? [01:12] bazhang, so it is not a plugin like dwhelper. I mean that is fine just to know. [01:12] bazhang, does it work with any url? [01:12] Chessguy: grsync is just a gui frontend for rsync [01:12] how can I get rsync to tell me how many megabytes left to finish synchronizing ? [01:12] please guys, my firstborn for some help, please? [01:12] test34: i think it scans as it goes, so it doesn't know [01:12] oh! so might rsync be more configurable? [01:12] faryshta, its a command line app the -t names it (rather than giving the url name) [01:12] wesley: Please separate the 2 problems. They are not interrelated. [01:13] yes they are [01:13] test34: you can use --stats --progress and -v to get lots of data, but i think best you can see is "1111/12020" number of files to look at left [01:13] they are related [01:13] muxfr, no, just youtube [01:13] i have no audio except for mp3's, basically the only program that can play audio right now is totem [01:13] muxfr, you may wish to try wget or for flash more broadly miro [01:14] fryfrog: that only seem to give me the progress for the current file [01:14] back [01:14] anyone have unanswered questions? [01:14] ]yes me [01:14] test34: which is exactly what i said [01:15] test34: rsync goes file by file, dir by dir, i'm pretty sure it has no idea about how much it has left until it is done [01:15] fryfrog: I dont see "1111/12020" number of files to look at left [01:15] test34: for a rough guess, you can compare a du on the src vs. du on dest [01:15] p1oooop: are you a genius? [01:15] fryfrog: du good idea, thank [01:15] s [01:15] i wish i was [01:15] bazhang, so many thanks. [01:16] test34: i think that # of files is on the right side [01:16] my kingdom for some help [01:17] please help me please! ill beg! [01:17] !helpme | wesley [01:17] wesley: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [01:19] i am thumbing my copy of vista, i know i hate ms, but all my hardware works perfectly on it. i guess you pay for functionality [01:19] yup [01:19] th0r: i get error when i try to use the location smb://jonathan-laptop/sq004980v02/Users/Jonathan [01:19] fryfrog: looks like I only have a 33% left thanks [01:20] and so they can sell your personal info to all the "partners" they have [01:20] wesley: then you don't need any help [01:20] has anyone ever installed alfresco (CMS) in ubuntu? [01:20] to sync with my docs on this computer [01:20] wesley: run vista [01:20] i guess i am begging to stay away from the evil megacorp ms [01:20] Can anybody help me get my intel HDA card working? [01:21] @muxfr whats the problem with the intel hda ? [01:21] Chessguy: mount the smb share to a local folder and then rsync there [01:21] When I try to install ubuntu WUBI it gets stuck at "Creating the virtual disks" any suggestion? forum thread? [01:21] hey, I have a weird problem. I have a NAT with a netgear router. It has been working fine but suddenly today the router loses internet connection whenever I connect with my linux system, like as soon as I start up the dhclient on the linux box the lights on the router go off. the router connects fine with a windows system, thats what I cant figure out [01:21] berni_, There's no *nix based system till now that was able to make it work. Only windows. [01:22] you are teling me to go use vista. this is the ubuntu chat room. ok, i got a question, how come pclinuxos2007 runs this audio card perfect [01:22] wesley: do you have a tech question? [01:22] muxfr did you check oiut https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:22] nick kismet === ufuk is now known as kismet [01:22] hey there [01:22] has anyone ever installed alfresco (CMS) in ubuntu? [01:22] can anyone answer me a quick question [01:22] yes, my audio card plays mp3's through totem, but nothing else, why and how can i repair it? [01:23] kismet:!ask [01:23] jelly5fish check your dmesg's and logs there your friend when things go wrong [01:23] Hey, anybody from the UK here? [01:23] i forgot to mentikon, youtube video plays, but no audio, etc [01:23] anyone ever heard of alfresco ? [01:23] wesley, I suspect the problem is PIBKAC more then anything else and your attitude. towards the people who have tried to help you but you seem intent on IT SHOULD JUST WORK. [01:23] yep UK here [01:23] !uk > chance12x [01:23] chance12x, please see my private message [01:23] wesley: there are about four different places to control the volume control... etc in jaunty have you looked in the Admin and App menus? [01:23] hbx: kk [01:24] not certain exactrly what pibkac is, and it does just work on other linux distro's [01:24] wesley: have you installed flashplugin-nonfree [01:24] i use wine and ms office products.. now i found an add-on for one office product but if i try to install it, it says that it needs .net... can i install .net in wine [01:24] yes i have bucky, thanx [01:24] kismet: try #winehq and check appdb [01:24] wesley make sure asla is working correctly [01:24] !appdb | kismet [01:24] kismet: 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 [01:24] wesley: there are about four different places to control the volume control... etc in jaunty have you looked in the Admin and App menus? [01:24] winetricks for .net in wine [01:24] i am playing mp3's via alsa and totem [01:24] funny how tube monitors crackle when there's a significant change in content color (From light to dark) [01:25] okay thanks.. i am a real noob... how check appdb what is that ... jrib [01:25] http://appdb.winehq.org kismet [01:25] oh i see sory,, was blind [01:26] any know way to connect to all IM protocol via ssh?? [01:26] this audio card also works on damn small linux [01:26] captaincrook what do you mean tunnel im traffic ? [01:26] how do i disable (shutdown) a SATA harddrive while my system runs? [01:27] qos sounds like energie options in the system panel [01:27] berni_, something like that... tunnel msn, yahoo, irc... [01:27] wesley: is just you tube where you can not play sound [01:27] captaincrook for example using icq over tor ? [01:28] also hulu, and charter's videos [01:28] berni_, excat... [01:28] I think the TOR homepage has faq/docs on doing things like IM over Tor. [01:28] berni_, not that sure about that... what do you mean exactly? [01:28] shouldn't the python-nautilus package include a nautilus.py or nautilus.so file somewhere in the python path? Nautilus python extensions use `import nautilus` but on my system that fails. [01:29] qos there are some settings to control standy ,and when to turn off your screen [01:29] berni_, but nothing about harddiscs?! ;) [01:30] qos what is the exact error you are getting ? [01:30] this is gonna sound very strange but when i put in the live cd for pclinuxos2007, i dont even have to tell it what version of audio card it is, it's instantaneous [01:30] berni_, maybe using my own home server to encrypt would be even better... [01:30] wesley, same thing with my ubuntu live cd [01:31] and everything including youtube and hulu work, but pclinuxos 07 is really old, and im not a fan of 09 [01:31] there are 2 harddrives in my workstation, just storeage. they are running all the day and i need them every second day. so, the idea was it to shut them down and launch them when i need them [01:31] is NTFS or FAT32 best for WUBI? [01:31] so i have a box that i want to address by name instead of IP when SSHing, i know its possible but im having trouble google searching it with relevant results [01:31] !wubi [01:31] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[01:33] yea ubuntu tweak is great [01:33] qos the command you are searcing for is hdparm [01:33] i have the acutal adobe flash player plugin installed, that isnt the problem flahs works perfect. except the audio, but ubuntu's audio files at startup also dont play so whatever progrma does that at the beginning also cannot play audio [01:33] or can u tell me where to find gufw? can find in synaptic [01:33] jrib: oh right cool, last time i checked must have been ages ago haha [01:33] wesley : replace jaunty with hardy in repo I pastebin to you [01:34] BlackCow: short of setting up your own dns nameserver the easy way would be putting an entry for it in /etc/hosts [01:34] i would if that was the problem, but it's not [01:34] qos http://linux.die.net/man/8/hdparm parameter : example : hdparm -B 1 -S 12 /dev/sda [01:34] oh my bad just wanted to know what tweaks anyone would recomend from the ubuntu to tweak app [01:34] !info gufw | Cosmic_Karma [01:34] Cosmic_Karma: gufw (source: gui-ufw): graphical user interface for ufw.

Every time I try to install Ubuntu 9.04 64-Bit on my new laptop, it gives me an error in installation. It says there is an error in copying the data or something. I've tried reburning it (on the slowest settings, on both CD and DVD) and it's not working. What can I do? [01:36] qos scroll down to Disk Power Management [01:37] if dsl can work but not ubuntu, im thinking there's some serious bugs. if an os 2 years oldewr than this can also work, hmmm.. [01:37] Dacvak: have you tried wubi? [01:37] Dacvak select "check this cd for defects while booting" [01:37] Dacvak: i tend to use 'unetbootin' to make bootable (installable) flash drives with ubuntu on it. It itnstalls faster then from cd also..

[01:39] dacvak then you cd is not ok , maybe very old burner ? [01:39] No, it's a new burner. I've also tried two other burners. [01:39] i sent lots of bug reports.. anyways, i guess karmic koala will be a great version, but i am not ready for bugs rihgt now :D [01:39] Dacvak: use the 'unetbootin' tool and a ubuntu.iso file.. and tell unetbootin tool to create a bootable flash drive from the iso. [01:39] Dr_Willis, I'll try that and let you guys know of my success or failure. [01:40] Dacvak: You may want to let unetbootin download the iso. I think it verifys the download.

[01:49] berni_, is it possible to simply plug the power off the drive while it runs? [01:49] ruben23 want to share files on linux to win or other direction ? [01:49] ruben23: or is it the windows box having the issue? [01:49] vsd, does the appdb say it will run? have you checked? [01:49] yes [01:49] qos would not recommend but if the device is in powersaving .. don't think it would harm [01:49] qos do you fear power consumption or lifetime ? [01:49] whats the appdb... :-| [01:50] Dr_Willis: are working... [01:50] berni_, lifetime :) [01:50] i've never used wine before this [01:50] !appdb > vsd [01:50] vsd, please see my private message [01:50] but my linux desktop cant network and share on them..

Once both have crashed, only a reboot seems to solve it. Ideas? [01:50] ruben23: try somthing like smb://SERvERNAME/sharename/ [01:50] qos if you need the hdds each second day i would suggest to let them plugged [01:50] qos how often do you restart your server a day ? [01:50] berni_, 1-3 days?! [01:51] bazhang i dont understand what you are saying [01:51] ruben23: ive just noticed that the samba share browser canbe a little quirky at times.. i give the full path.. it pops up a user/pass dialog.. i enter the proper info.. then it seems to work right for me after that. [01:51] bazhang, i set up 1024x768 F and it just goes back to the panel and pops up after 10\15 sec. [01:51] hmm.ok [01:51] http://appdb.winehq.org vsd [01:51] ill try to type the exact url [01:51] qos then it should be no problem with the livetime at all. i have my personal pc running each day, multiplerestarts and i never got an broken hdd [01:51] Where is there a manual or description of polkit-gnome-authorization? [01:52] If you are that worried about exteranal hd's dieing.. a cooling fan on them.. might be a good idea.. then again.. if they power down automatically after non use thent hey shouldent be getting that hot. [01:52] smb://SERvERNAME/sharename/------->serername means the workgroup of the windows.. [01:52] or the windows client itself..? [01:52] anyone here experienced with freenx? [01:53] ruben23: the servers name.. you are allready using the default workgroup I think. Which i always set in smb.conf [01:53] berni_, i had not this luck ;) [01:53] bullgard4: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/polkit-auth.1.html maybe ? [01:53] mythomaniac: I was never able to get freenx working, but the NX webpage has a free version available [01:53] qos what was the fault of the hdd ? didn't spin up again ? [01:53] qos how old [01:54] qos imho the main hdd killer is high temperatur .. [01:54] th0r, well i can get it working, but one feature... and that is the vnc option, with display 0 on the remote [01:54] Hard Drives can die - They are proberly the Weakest link in PC hardware...

[01:55] Dr_Willis: so i need to setup the workgroup on the smb.conf........? cos i have an exixting workgroup on the windows network 3TRGLOBAL [01:55] berni_: quit pluggint the cards in with the power on. [01:55] ruben23: i always set mine in smb.conf to be the proper one.. [01:55] ruben23: if you want the linux box to be part of that workgroup.. then logically yes.. you should set it there. [01:56] berni_: Your article is about 'polkit-auth'. How is this related to polkit-gnome-authorization? === john__ is now known as highclasshole [01:57] bullgard4: ref gnome.org Policy for these actions can be set up using the polkit-gnome-authorization tool, or the polkit-auth command line program.

[02:01] My laptop gets really lousy wireless range when I'm running Ubuntu, but it still works if I'm close enough to the router. Running Windows, it gets much better range. Any idea what could cause this and/or how to make Ubuntu get better range? [02:01] hello everyone [02:01] berni_, my drives are water cooled ... i guess this is enought ;) [02:01] berni_ after doing that command if user login using those account it will automatically open /var/www [02:02] I installed a new ddr chip to my ibook lappy and it doesn't recognize it any ideas??? [02:02] Hey buddies. I'm wondering if the gnome-screensaver is responsible for my screen going black even when GDM hasn't started/when I'm only using console. [02:02] i have a dumbass question [02:02] kde and emerald [02:02] Hello, I am trying to figure out why Ubunut froze and how to decipher which message log to look at? [02:03] i managed to download some themes in emerald, i applyed one and it worked, i restarted cause cairodock was all mong [02:03] and now i cant find the themes again in emerald [02:03] are there some PPAs where the get the latest compat-wireless? [02:03] Ryan___: "much better" is no exact description. You did not even mention your WLAN card. How can people help you with such a lousy problem description? [02:04] Ubuntu won't recognize the memory I just installed on my lappy any ideas [02:04] ?? [02:04] is it just me or does eveyone try to do like 5 things at once lol? [02:04] quickstart: how many gigabytes [02:04] quickstart: how much memory? [02:04] Cosmic_Karma: I do about 6 at once. [02:04] 1 gb ddr pc227 [02:04] i mean 2700 [02:04] earthmeLon from : ubuntuformus.org I believe this is contolled by the "BLANK_TIME" setting in /etc/console-tools/config. [02:04] quickstart: 1gb total? [02:04] my usb memory stick/card working fine in ubuntu but i don't get access 2 it on kubuntu,it's show up but only get error messenger,someone know what 2 do???-_- [02:04] yes [02:05] bullgard4: Sorry, I was just wondering if this was a common problem. I was guessing it was a driver issue and was wondering if someone could direct me to a site for that. I was planning to post a more detailed description on the forums. [02:05] its supported by the computer I did my research [02:05] quickstart: sorry I dont know then [02:05] is it necessary that I reinstall ubuntu for it to recognize it [02:05] ??? [02:05] quickstart: How much ram is receognizes [02:05] quickstart: How much ram is receognized [02:05] cause I check the system monitor and it only recognize the onboard memory [02:05] 256 [02:05] and thats the built in [02:05] quickstart no reinstallation required .. [02:06] Indeed, berni. Setting it to 0 seems to be the solution. Thank you [02:06] it should automatically recognize it right?? [02:06] quickstart: might need to change a bios setting at bootup [02:06] bullgard4: Regarding the "much better" range, I have found physical locations where my laptop can connect running Windows but fails to connect running Ubuntu. [02:06] quickstart check the bios output . [02:06] so how would I go about that in the open firmware [02:06] ??? [02:06] its a ibook g4 [02:06] quickstart how much ram does the bios detect during post ? [02:06] DR_Willis had to get in the oneupsmanship? its cool figured 5 is a nice round avg, do u actually finish everything u start that tends to be my problem [02:06] How can I remove the Rhythmbox tray icon? [02:06] are there any bitches in here? [02:07] lmao [02:07] not sure I'm afraid how could I find out on my ibook g4 [02:07] ? [02:07] cryogen, stop that [02:07] quickstart do you have dual boot mac ?= [02:07] nope pure ubuntu [02:07] big pimpin on the ubuntu irc channel lmao [02:07] u da man [02:07] Laibsch: it's saying you don't have apt-utils installed.. i don't know if that's the problem BUT... it looks like a linker problem similar to this one http://www.nabble.com/samba-3.2.6-link-error-td21018825.html [02:07] wait... [02:07] quickstart most common issue is that the macbook is not compatible with the ram. [02:07] hot chicks don't use IRC [02:08] i'm happy with ubuntu and want to grow my ext4 into my old ntfs, but the ntfs is first on the disk, how can i do this? [02:08] cryogen, keep on topic [02:08] yes we do [02:08] its odd cause I checked crucial.com and it matches the specs given on the website [02:08] for this model [02:08] ubuntu...linux? [02:08] kermit is ntfs a win system partition with a windows on it ? [02:08] guys how to change user default home directory [02:09] berni: yes, i dont need it anymore, ubuntu works :) [02:09] dumb_dumb: I knew you'd be back....moving the home directory to /var/www was not a good idea....and now moving it back will screw up all the permissions and ownerships. [02:09] Ryan___: It is a good idea to turn to a forum with your specific problem. -- Generally the range of WLAN cards driven by Linux drivers is not worse than when driven by Windows drivers. But I read that is worse in cases where the chipset manufacturer did not publish a free driver and Linux people tried to guess their innards. [02:09] kermit i experienced a lot of troubles doing such resizing [02:09] dumb_dumb: and you can't make /var/www the home directory for a user [02:10] kermit the easiest way is to make a backup of the WHOLE data and then wipe out both partitions and insert live cd > create one huge ext4 [02:10] mmory card/usb work on ubuntu but not kubuntu WHY?? [02:10] i have installer lamp on my ubuntu [02:10] berni: that'd be too easy, there has to be a hackerish way to do this ;) === sergio is now known as [[ZERO]] [02:10] now i want to create user that can ftp to the /var/www [02:10] maybe i could raid 0 them together [02:10] kermit : you can convert ntfs to ext4 . then copy all files to it [02:11] th0r: sure you make /var/www a root directory for any users, but i would advise it tho. [02:11] hello all... [02:11] berni: oh hmm [02:11] Hmm yawns. [02:11] berni: just cp -pr ? [02:11] kermit then delete the second ext4 but don't forget to change the menu.lst [02:11] i have a question about compiz, is this the right place to ask it? [02:11] ir8: you gonna give a user permissions in /var? [02:11] berni: (cp -pr from a boot off a cd) [02:11] kermit then use fdisk and resize the first partition in export mode [02:11] I'm quite confused. because alsa mixer says card HDA Intel and chip IDT so what's the difference between both, and how can I get it running? [02:11] *expert mode [02:11] th0r: just to /var/www if needed. [02:11] berni: hmm [02:11] kermit yes live cd [02:11] ir8: I think you will find apache will stop working if the user owns /var/www [02:11] Dr_Willis: I'm currently installing it with a USB drive. [02:11] I think it's working. [02:12] So, I thank you. [02:12] add the user to the apache group and weeee! [02:12] berni: actually i can cat sda4 > sda2 [02:12] berni: it fits [02:12] <[[ZERO]]> update kernel [02:12] so th0r how i can make user add their own web page? [02:12] kermit then use the resize2fs /dev/sda1 [02:12] ir8: right, but if the user doesn;t own his homepage he is going to be in trouble trying to write configs and such [02:12] berni: but theres gotta be a way, with lvd or md (raid 0) to map it in.. [02:12] kermit no don't cat [02:12] Dacvak1: I never bother with burning cd's any more [02:12] er lvm [02:12] berni: why not cat? [02:12] kermit size difference [02:12] dumb_dumb: you should just add the user to the apache group and that should give him access to /var/www [02:13] berni: but i'm going to grow the ext4 anyway [02:13] is there a possibility to search for packages in PPAs on launchpad? [02:13] bucky: Thank you for taking a look. But I don't really see any connection between either apt-utils nor the linker failure you posted the URL. [02:13] berni: sda2 is bigger than sda4 so it'd fit [02:13] but it would be saver to create a new filesystem and copy the data === Obelix09 is now known as jhc [02:13] kermit you won't loose any data [02:13] ir8: (home dir...not homepage) [02:13] But I don't really see any connection between either apt-utils nor the linker failure you posted the URL on the one hand and the compile failure I saw on the other. [02:14] is there away to make update manager not take 100% for 5min? [02:14] kermit : when you cat you are messing up the partion endings and stuff [02:14] cmartin0 maybe you installed too much software :) [02:14] ffs [02:14] 2.2ghzcore 2 and sloow [02:15] cmartin0: try manually doing a sudo apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and see if its the actual update-manager gui thata having issues.. or somthing else... [02:15] yo can someone please answer my q soon -_- "Q: memory card work fine on ubuntu but not kubuntu, why??" [02:15] i rarely have update manager cause issues. [02:15] Laibsch: you can try to do a fresh build (autogen / configure / make everything) like the link said.. may even install apt-utils or .,...just try nothing [02:15] th0r: okay, then just add user to the apache group, then edit the /etc/passwd to change the home directory, and set the permissions correctly, so his user to write to the directory it a simple to do. I would surely not advise that tho due to security risks and other stuff.. [02:15] dmaxx: 'memory card' meaning what exactly? flash/usb drive? [02:15] bucky: Have you ever compiled something in pbuilder? [02:15] maybe python blew chunks [02:15] Laibsch: i'd try an autogen in the directory first [02:16] both [02:16] bucky: Have you ever compiled something in pbuilder? [02:16] cmartin0: thats why i suggestd trying it by hand. [02:16] Dr_Willis: my hdd wont work on kubuntu either [02:16] -_- [02:16] dmaxx: try mounting it by hand. could be kubuntu/kde isent automoungint it.. deoending on whats 'not working' means in this case. [02:16] Laibsch: yes i have and it doesn't give you the opportunity to do much... are you crosscompiling? is that why you need pbuilder? [02:16] no [02:17] dmaxx: you got deeper issues then.. depending on what 'wont work' means. [02:17] What does cross-compiling have to do with it? === jubei is now known as Guest5362 [02:17] Laibsch: do you have something against dpkg-buildpackage or dhmake or friends? [02:17] Dr_Willis like everytime i plug hdd or card/usb memory in i just get error messenger [02:18] dmaxx and the exact error message is ? [02:18] dmaxx: perhaps tell the channel the error message? and mention it in #kubutu if it seems tobe a KDE only issue.... [02:18] * Dr_Willis hates playing 20 questions to get to the ACTUAL problem. [02:18] berni_: PolicyKit seems to be a set of certain policies bundled. Where can I find information what policies the PolicyKit comprises? [02:19] bucky: pbuilder usually protects me from a lot of PEBKAC [02:19] Dr_Willis: just gonna find the messenger [02:19] bucky: Trying debuild instead of pdebuild seems like a step backwards in this case [02:19] bucky: And I can't see how it should help any. [02:19] does anybody know how to set alsa to play output sound through the line in on a sound card? [02:20] but I'll give it a shot [02:20] bullgard4 what do you want to do ? [02:20] so , who in here has used john the ripper before? [02:20] Dr_Willis:i will go 2 #kubuntu then [02:21] berni: To understand what PolicyKit is all about. (I have forgotten a Gajim password.) [02:21] bucky: That won't help much. My build host is running hardy, too. [02:21] Which is another reason I use pbuilder. [02:22] i need some help understanding some john the ripper output [02:22] bullgard4 are you sure policykit is the right ? [02:22] does anyone use mint linux? or something like that? [02:22] im trying to see if i can unshadow my passwords but i get what looks to be random garbage [02:22] Cosmic_Karma: i suggest using normal ubuntu.. and forgetting about 'Mint' [02:22] bullgrad4 : wikipedia It provides the capability for non-privileged processes to communicate with privileged ones. [02:22] Cosmic_Karma: or some of the other 'official' ubuntu variants. not unofficial ones. [02:23] bullgard4 : wikipedia It provides the capability for non-privileged processes to communicate with privileged ones. [02:23] i might try it in vm i am a lifetime gui windows user linux noob it sounded interesting [02:23] berni: No. But it seems to be related, and Ubuntu is providing it per default. So I am doing no wrong to obtain general information about Authorizations via PolicyKit. [02:23] Cosmic_Karma: best to learn to use ubuntu. Not learn 'mint' then have to unlearn the mint quirks.. [02:24] berni: I will try to do snooping into Wikipedia about that. [02:24] bullgard4 policykit is the system you see when you try to change network settings in llinux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PolicyKit.png [02:24] bullgard4 good overview http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/PolicyKit/model.html [02:25] good advice, thought it was very similar, hardy runs great for me, tried 8.1 and 9.04 and keep havin to reinstall hardy [02:25] berni: Thank you for prividing me read stuff.

[03:02] paige: maybe your stick is bad? the whole thing doesnt go bad at once, so normal file writes can route around it, but if you're cat-ing like that it needs enough continuous good blocks at the start of the drive [03:02] paige: have you tried another stick? [03:02] that opendns ubuntu link, i cant do the thing it says cause i dont have the "network icon" [03:02] if anyone has an image that i can DD to the usb stick that is about 8MB, i would be grateful [03:03] the stick is fine [03:03] paige: problem is you need dos. [03:03] the images all make 1.44MB boot [03:03] I just got sprint and connected the phone to my computer and noticed there is a mobile broadband option in the wireless networks. i tried to use it but my sprint phone says my username or password is wrong. how exactly am i suppose to set this up? i know my username and i do not know if i have a password [03:03] what are the benefits of installing .deb like this?# dpkg -i filename.deb === jra is now known as Guest73841 [03:04] Xerran1: its a way toinstall one that isnt in the repositories (ie not available through apt) === marvinp is now known as kill-ring [03:04] I messed up the command to open Gnome-Do ... any way I can find what it is really supposed to be, before I screwed it up?

[03:11] chrissy_: What do you need to know? [03:12] i have but it ask for a exsting email can i create a new one [03:12] Hay all, At work the big boss is asking many questions about ubuntu, I gave him a laptop with intrepid to play with. He is now asking what it would be like if the co was to go to ubuntu on an enterprise level. With paid for support. any ideas on what to tell him? [03:12] chrissy_, you don't have an existing email? [03:12] i've had 4 beers and 750 ml of wine [03:12] chrissy_: You have to have some sort of backend email provider already. Thunderbird and evolution and all of them just read the email from some remote server. [03:12] bastidrazor: superkey-space [03:12] am i drunk [03:12] bastidrazor: ie: the windows key. [03:13] yes but if i use it the email goes to my other computer [03:13] jdsandeson: show him this: http://news.cnet.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html [03:13] teck, take chat elsewhere [03:13] tech do you need something? [03:13] jdsandeson: Red Hat specializes in linux support at the enterprise level. But ubuntu in an enterprise environment is very doable. [03:13] i have a problem using remote desktop on ubuntu 9.04 sometime says your computer can see only on local network and sometimes giveme the ip public address why ? [03:15] does anyone have a usb bootable image for a usb drive that is at least 8MB of space available? [03:15] i really need to flash [03:15] how would i pull in git from karmic into jaunty? [03:16] edbian: yes i know but they have seen me using the ubuntu for a couple of years and it may confuse them further to introduce red hat [03:16] paige, uh? [03:16] jdsandeson: Ubuntu offers support as well. [03:16] What path does wicd install in? I need the executable to put in my autostart folder in Kubuntu. [03:17] paige: most usb 'img' files you dd to a flash drive.. you MIGHT be able to resize with gparted.. but that dosent make them have a peristant save feature.. [03:18] jdsandeson: I would be estatic that your employer even considers ubuntu a possiblity. My experience has shown me 3 employers. 1 Does not know what linux is and doesn't care. 1 Knew what it was and hated it out of fear, and 1 did not know what linux was and thought I was making it up. [03:18] hi, does any one knows a tool which allows to make copy of the hard drive, some kind of ghost software. [03:18] I want to get rid of my Kubuntu partition. How do I do this properly? [03:18] lollan:clonezilla [03:18] lollan: g4l [03:19] anybody? [03:19] thanks gnr and maco i check that now [03:19] Hmmm. Are there any good terminal/console mp3 players? I'm looking for something that would be able to import playlists/create playlists [03:19] lollan: rsync [03:19] * MeRodent is trying to follow the documentation guide on installing ubuntu from a USB drive and it says copy vmlinuz, initrd.gz and syslinux.cfg from the Ubuntu archives to the stick. Can anyone suggest where I get them from? [03:19] hello! Anyone here familiar with an app to playback audio with foot pedal control? [03:19] docgnome, very bad idea to mix version packages or repos [03:19] i need a newer version of ubuntu than 1.6.0 [03:20] er [03:20] hi, ive got ubuntu netbook remix on my eeepc, and the sound works fine but not when i plug in my headphones. (they work fine elsewhere) suggestions? [03:20] of git i mean [03:20] bastidrazor: I have the icon working again .... [03:20] MeRodent: /boot ? [03:20] MeRodent: you are trying to install ubuntu to a flash drive or from a flash drive? [03:20] lomez: bad sound drivers. i think theres already a bug filed with a workaround on http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs though [03:21] mdg: from a flash drive. Trying to set the flash drive up so I can load ubuntu server onto my Revo when I get it. [03:21] bastidrazor: but still ... apparantly I have to click an icon to then use keyboard shortcuts ..... seems a little weird [03:21] lomez: at least, i think i saw an eeepc workaround on there recently.... [03:21] bluetooth headsets working in ubuntu now ? [03:21] Soooo..... about my kubuntu partition... [03:21] anyone? [03:21] MeRodent: do you want a flash drive like a live cd? [03:21] test34: umm if you have trouble configuring bt stuff, i hear blueman is good for that [03:21] RPG_Master: whats up? i use kubuntu [03:21] RPG_Master, with gparted live cd or ubuntu livecd? [03:21] mdg, yep. [03:21] MeRodent: I setup my flash drive with unetbootin, ran it live and clicked the "install" icon [03:22] by the way, my firefox often crash on me, i'm using Jaunty 9.04. Is there any tricks for that not to happens ? [03:22] RPG_Master, going full on to windows? or want to install something else? [03:22] any other suggestions on how to get a newer git? short of rolling my own that is [03:22] lollan: avoid flash because adobe only puts effort into their stuff that costs $700? [03:22] I want to get rid of my Kubuntu partition. How do I do this properly? [03:22] lollan: firefox version? [03:22] MeRodent: you said ubuntu server version? [03:22] maco: I tried it a few months ago [03:22] bazhang: Heck no! I was just trying out Kubuntu :P [03:23] maco: (no success) [03:23] I normally use Ubuntu [03:23] RPG_Master, you want pure gnome? [03:23] !puregnome | RPG_Master [03:23] RPG_Master: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [03:23] test34: 3.0.13 [03:23] mdg, yes. I want to run the netbox as a server - 8.04LTS. Which I'll be able to do from the ISO as long as I can boot off the USB stick. [03:23] maco: avoiding flash ? That would be awesome, but it's not my call T_T [03:24] bazhang: No, I have my main partition with Ubuntu on it and then I have a 6gig partition which I put Kubuntu on. [03:24] MeRodent: have you determined if you computer can boot from a USB stick? How old is it? [03:24] hmm, i dont see it on there, maco thanks though [03:24] lollan: personally, i use swfdec instead of adobe flash. its good enough for youtube but tends to screw up on sites done entirely with flash. its a bit more stable though... [03:24] lollan: I dont have any problems with 3.0, but I did with 3.5.. so sorry I don't know [03:24] RPG_Master, then use the live cd or the gparted live cd to delete and reformat it [03:24] lollan, which plugins do you use? [03:24] bazhang: Will doing that screw up my Grub? [03:25] lollan, you could use a flash blocker to follow maco's advice [03:25] mdg, the Revo is an atom 1.6Ghz (processor) powered mini desktop. [03:25] when you install a kernel, it installs files to /var/modules/newkernel , /boot/kernel & menu.lst .... and where else? [03:25] flash "cookies" http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html [03:26] MeRodent: I would suggest setting up your USB flash drive by using unetbooting - its so easy [03:26] mdg, just looking at the wiki now and it looks like what I'm after. [03:26] MeRodent: you can use the .iso you already downloaded [03:27] mdg, Just a shame that the ubunut help file misses out on such a small detail as to where to get the files. [03:28] MeRodent: which files - the .iso or unetbootin? [03:28] mdg, not netbootin, the USB memory stick help files in the ubuntu docs. [03:29] MeRodent: oh [03:29] dpkg -C shows packages that have been partially installed, how do i display packages that have been installed compeletely? [03:29] dpkg -l [03:29] thanks [03:29] bazhang, how did you know that? [03:30] spO, repeated questionings and watching this channel [03:30] bazhang, i see, how often do you watch this channel? [03:30] too much [03:30] bazhang, do you use any other comand besides dpkg? [03:31] is there a command in vim for inserting a single character without going into insert mode? if not, how would i create a command myself like that? [03:31] spO, for doing what [03:31] baz, for command line/console package management [03:31] skrapasor: there's [03:31] skrapasor: there's 'r' for a single replace [03:31] Any of you booted FROM an ipod? I'm thinking about using it as a boot tool with something like backtrack, and partition images on it. [03:31] bucky: thats replace, not insert [03:31] http://inquisitr.com/extra/wp-content/2009/02/asshat.jpg [03:31] bawhah [03:31] ;p [03:32] spO, tend just to use apt-get for package management [03:32] Neurotiquette, not possible [03:32] spO: try apt-cache search, apt-cache show [03:32] ir8, dont spam here [03:32] psycho_oreos: Why? [03:32] I've read a few posts of people saying they've done it, but not explaining how to do it. [03:32] Neurotiquette, because the device emulates itself as a storage device, meaning that the ipod has to be fully booted in a fashion that would destroy the ipod firmware itself [03:33] skrapasor: http://objectmix.com/editors/148791-vim-command-insert-single-character-return-normal-mode.html [03:33] fine with me [03:33] i'll never use it foor mp3s again [03:33] how do i chroot into my old root and maintain access to /proc? i need to update grub on a partition which i moved [03:33] it's sat in my closet for a year [03:33] im running off a livecd [03:33] Neurotiquette, and why won't you sell it for usb stick?

[03:46] lollan, you may wish to try disabling some of them until you find the right combo, some plugins are not well done and will absolutely crash your browser or render it near unusable [03:47] ok thank you bazhang. I didn't think that Firefox could have trouble running on linux though [03:47] does ubuntu/linux have any GUI app's for creating 3d animated file for a web page?

[04:42] dragon: kdenlive [04:42] !best | dragon [04:42] dragon: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:42] LinuX2half, try typing firefox-3.0 into a terminal, if it launches then you have both [04:42] tnx again it woks [04:42] Cinelerra [04:42] dragon: Cinelerra [04:42] !cedega | megaman1978 [04:42] works [04:42] megaman1978: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [04:42] Darael: that really helps :| [04:42] the problem is when I'm loading a video it stop loading or the site started to get all slow. [04:42] ext3grep, can somebody explain to me how it works - or walk me through recovering a directory to another disk? [04:42] Xerran1, shovon: thanks [04:42] dragon: claify your needs perhaps. [04:43] dragon: well, if you really want an opinion, I agree with shovon [04:43] im missing a bunch of keys for my 'sources' i have a list of them. is there any way i can create a 'key file' instead of adding all of them manually? [04:43] Xerran1, i think it really is for me ^^ [04:43] *bad [04:43] jedc, I typed in firefox-3.0 and a shiretoko browser pops up [04:43] br34l: looking at it in wiki now [04:44] dragon: yeah, what ubottu said. [04:44] dragon: no problem. [04:44] br34l: This is only my second week in sticking it to BILL :P [04:45] Dr_Willis: I wish to combine 4-5 videos sequentially, and then cut it at different positions and end up with a format reasonable for youtube or streaming otherwise. [04:45] Is anyone familiar with a Linksys USB wireless adapter? [04:45] jedc so does it mean that firefox is mixed with shiretoko? [04:45] Does anyone know if cedega uses direct x10 yet and if not then when? [04:45] Xerran1 xD [04:45] LinuX2half: same thing except different branding [04:45] megamanx1978_: check the cedega homepage perhaps? [04:45] br34l: so Cinelerra is better than kdenlive? [04:46] I did [04:46] It dont say [04:46] br24l: some people might hate Cinelerra. [04:46] br34l: It looks more professional [04:46] br24l: Just give them both a try. [04:46] shovon: linksys usb300n [04:46] I changed my password the other day. GDM no longer works, and I need to use startx. I also need to unlock my kering on every login. I changed my pass back, no difference. Any ideas? I really want gdm working again [04:46] megamanx1978_: i would guess thats a NO then. [04:47] So basically I have one browser but with a different branding? [04:47] Xerran1 actually, i dont know..im just using gnome [04:47] ctmjr: works flawlessly? [04:47] So I have a fujitsu lifebook p1510d bluetooth shows in dmesg but not in hciscan. Any ideas? [04:47] shovon: only with ndiswrapper [04:47] routinepursuit: is there a switch on the machine?\ [04:47] Here's more about my original question: I wish to combine 4-5 videos sequentially, and then cut it at different positions and end up with a format reasonable for youtube or streaming otherwise. What will be the best video editor to accomplish this task? [04:47] I also tried the cedega channel but it is dead [04:47] br34l: I meant Celerra looks more professional than kdenlive [04:47] yo [04:47] LinuX2half: firefox and shiretoko are completely different. [04:47] *cinelerra [04:47] how can I find out how many bytes-per-inode a partition has? [04:48] LinuX2half: you might want to totally remove both and reinstall them. [04:48] LinuX2half: Not exactly... you have two versions of one browser, with eack version having different branding [04:48] yes controls wifi and rf but no love [04:48] ziroday: no they're not... [04:48] ziroday: they are the exact same browser, shiretoki is the codname for firefox 3.5 [04:48] Which is faster ubuntu+cedega or win xp? [04:48] ziroday: What do you mean? Shiretoko was the development codename for firefox 3.5 [04:48] LinuX2half: the normal ubuntu way is to have the 2 totally seperate. [04:48] megamanx1978_: depends on the game. [04:48] megamanx1978_: native XP will ALWAYS be faster [04:48] leachim6: sorry I thought he was referring to something else [04:49] ziroday: haha, don't be sorry :) [04:49] megamanx1978_: It also depends on the computer and the state of the XP install :P [04:49] ziroday: happens to the best of us [04:49] Darael: good point [04:49] let's assume we're talking about a fresh install [04:49] megamanx1978_: ubuntu+wine 1.1.27 [04:49] definitely XP [04:49] leachim6: Indeed [04:49] so anyway, how can I find out how many bytes-per-inode a paritition has? [04:50] anyway to boost up my volume... i notice ity was a bit louder in my other os (windows)? thankyou [04:50] I changed my password the other day. GDM no longer works, and I need to use startx. I also need to unlock my kering on every login. I changed my pass back, no difference. Any ideas? I really want gdm working again [04:51] ext3grep, can somebody explain to me how it works - or walk me through recovering a directory to another disk? [04:51] TDJACR: what method did you use to change your password? [04:51] I was guessing ubuntu+cedega becouse of windows bloat but I was just curious [04:51] so, should I uninstall shiretoko or firefox? [04:51] megamanx1978_: it totally depends on the game. [04:52] will this cause any problems with they both installed together? [04:52] I forget if it was passwd or About Me in GNOME [04:52] LinuX2half: well shiretoko is the one in the ubuntu repos... [04:52] gartral: ^ [04:52] LinuX2half: i would remove both and start from ground zero. If you can even manage to remove both. [04:52] why does ubuntu do it like this... [04:52] it's so confusing [04:52] TDJACR: try rebooting into recovery mode and setting your password with sudo passwd [04:52] leachim6: they kept the 2 seperate so people are not forced to upgrade to 3.5 I run both at the same time with no problems. [04:53] leachim6: would you rather them not even bother to have 3.5 in the repos at all? [04:53] How about ubuntu+cedega vs Vista same thing? [04:54] Dr_Willis: i find that 3.5 is faster than 3.0.12 everyday for every task given [04:54] megamanx1978_: with wine the speeds/comaptibilty of the games.. depends very very much on the exact game. [04:54] LinuX2half: I have both. However, I use both too. :3 [04:54] gartral: i cant tell the differance. :) [04:54] Dr_Willis: heh, my system is a "special" child [04:54] gartral: i got the google chrome for linux - being tested out now.. [04:55] Dr_Willis: haha, that's not what I mean, I think that way is good...I mean not having official firefox 3.5, but "shiretoko" instead [04:55] Dr_Willis: it breaks facebook chat because of the useragent [04:55] leachim6: theres other disrtos that did it the same way. I have no issues with it using the name Shiretoko. [04:55] So after I've remove both of the browsers I run update manager or just install firefox/shiretoko again? [04:55] leachim6: facebook works here.. we were just testing it in anothe channel. [04:55] gartral: Didn't work [04:55] leachim6: and thats facebook being badly programmed. [04:55] how do I permanently change my ethernet MAC address in Ubuntu? [04:55] TDJACR: log in, backup, reinstall [04:56] I found a thread in the forum but the instructions are defunct [04:56] Dr_Willis: agreed, and I fixed it as well, with a workaround [04:56] What things should I look for in a game to decide which to use [04:56] does anybody know how to use ext3grep? [04:56] come on [04:56] most of the commands don't work and a lot of the config files it references have changed [04:56] can nobody help me with this simple request? [04:56] bjangles: its just an ifconfig command.. toss the command in rc.local perhaps. [04:56] how do I find out how many inodes per block a paritition has [04:56] http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/09/how-to-change-mac-address-of-your.html [04:56] #kde [04:57] megamanx1978_: Dual boot or start playing linux-based games. [04:57] join #kde [04:57] Dr_Willis, should I remove or completely remove them? [04:57] pheonix: try "/join #kde" [04:57] megamanx1978_: Speaking of games, I think I should play Yo Frankie. I downloaded it few days ago but never got around to play it. :0 [04:57] LinuX2half: i would totally remove them. :) [04:57] yep [04:57] got it [04:57] anyway to cancel a terminal command that is running [04:57] ? [04:58] CaptainCrook: ctrl-c ? [04:58] ok [04:58] leaf-sheep: it barely runs on my 2.2 ghz C2D with 8400 gfx card and 3 gigs ram [04:58] anyone know if midnight commander has an irc channel? i cant find one with googling [04:58] And yes I know cedega is based off wine but isnt there a few things that makes cedega work different?] [04:59] zeltak: midnight commander is a file manager [04:59] megamanx1978_: mosta ll the games i try work fine with wine. I dont use cedega any more [04:59] yeah i know :) i was wondering if they had an irc channle (like #ubuntu) [04:59] Dr_Willis so should I install the 3.5.3 shiretoko or firefox-3.0? [05:00] LinuX2half: i wouldent even bother with 3.5 unless you need it. [05:00] LinuX2half: 3.0 is the default/normal one to use.. so install it first - check that it works. [05:01] LinuX2half: You'll get 3.5 with Karmic in October anyway. Probably. [05:01] LinuX2half: I have both. It does not bother me. It's useful having two browsers to keep things separate (eg, work and play) or whatever your reason is. [05:01] Darael: i think thats a defianatly [05:01] Are there any linux games as good or close to as good as the windows games? [05:01] !info firefox karmic [05:01] firefox (source: firefox-3.5): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.2+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 69 kB, installed size 124 kB [05:01] megamanx1978_: depends on the games you are refering to. [05:02] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep: well, that settles that then! [05:02] i really like urban terror, beyond that though, i don't game [05:02] hey all [05:02] Dr_Willis so should I install a different browser? [05:02] megamanx1978_: check out http://en.djl-linux.org/ its a gpl-steam-like front end to get quite a few games easially [05:02] ubuntu has this awsome ability to mount an ssh server as a drive, but my question is howdo I accomplish this through the terminal? [05:03] LinuX2half: i would install the default firefox that comes with ubuntu.. and make sure its working. [05:03] how do i install Gtkmozembed? my screenlets manager tells me i need it [05:03] Hey can i ask q's here? or is that spaming here? [05:03] jeffrey_: the 'sshfs' command i think [05:03] By as good I mean graphics and gameplay depth [05:03] !sshfs | jeffrey_ [05:03] jeffrey_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [05:03] Ty for the link [05:03] megamanx1978_: both those are vage and subjective terms. :) [05:03] Dr_Willis, leaf-sheep, Thanks!! [05:04] Pete6: Just bomb away the questions. [05:04] All i wanna no is that I have desktop effects any step by step thing to look at anywhre? [05:05] !ccsm | Pete6 [05:05] Pete6: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [05:05] And as far as windows games go I mean games like Spore and Sims 3 [05:05] can i ask questions related to kde in this channel [05:05] Pete6: system->preferences->a[[earance [05:06] ^^ignore! [05:06] pheonix: you'd be better off in #kubuntu really... [05:06] pheonix: #kubuntu would be best solution -- but yeah you can ask here too. [05:06] ok [05:06] Dr Willis does the games in that link have deb packages? [05:07] But the update manager will bug me about updating my manager to 3.5 [05:07] Sure butttt "desktop effects could not be enabled "...... [05:07] I mean the browser [05:07] and under hardware drivers i got nothing..zip.. [05:07] megamanx1978_: some do some dont. that tool does not use the package manager system - it isntalls the game on a per user basis. so some of the games are newer/up to date then the ones inthe repos [05:07] Pete6: Pastebin the output of 'compiz-manager' from your terminal [05:07] pete6, i had that error in one of my old desktops... i believe your graphics card is not supported by the advanced effects [05:07] ! paste | Pete6 [05:07] Pete6: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [05:08] can anyone tell me a ballpark figure on how much space a standard ubuntu installation takes up? [05:08] megamanx1978_: 'widelands' is a popular game right now. sort of a slow paced RTS game [05:08] Ivoz: under 2gb. [05:08] Ivoz: definatly under 5gb. :) [05:09] I dont have to compile or do complicated command line stuff do I? [05:09] megamanx1978_: for what? [05:09] Ivoz, Dr_Willis: I believe the recommended requirement is 4GiB, so it'll be less than that. [05:09] megamanx1978_: http://rangit.com/software/top-8-linux-games-of-2007/ has some good reviews [05:09] Im waaaaaaaaaay 2 noob for this stuff lol sry for wasting your time [05:09] i just wanted to know how to change desktop wallpaper in kubuntu [05:10] There seem to be an extension missing from my browser [05:10] Pete6: gott get video card drivers going to get 3d effect.. you dont need 3d to learn the os. :) [05:10] pheonix, right click on desktop and go to preferences [05:10] I remember its ubuntu -somthing [05:10] When 9.10 comes out, the desktop cd will just be able to upgrade my installation, right? [05:10] I think its called ubuntu modification [05:10] right how do i get the drivers ...where and stuff... [05:10] phoenixz, desktop settings sorry [05:10] and junk [05:11] i went there but was unable to understand the settings [05:11] what should be the wallpaper type [05:11] Pete6: system->adminstration->harware drivers? [05:11] down at the bottom it should say get new wallpapers click on it. [05:11] apt-cache search firefox | grep ubuntu [05:11] firefox-ubuntu-it-menu - Firefox extension for a quick browse of Ubuntu-it community [05:12] dareal ya its empty blank ...now what?

[05:13] pheonix, yeah [05:13] Pete6, lspci | grep VGA [05:13] AH! I cant get my Ubuntu machine to connect to my Windows home workgroup. Help! [05:14] megamanx1978_: it pays to talk in full/compleete sentances. :) I have a hard time rembering my own name.. much less following fraggmented conversation. DJL installs the game.. makes it idiot proof (more or less) on a per user basis. try it and see. [05:14] pheonix, under desktop settings at the bottom is a box you can click on and it will take you to kde wallpapers that you can download and use. [05:14] raydarluvr: you did chane the work group in /etc/samba/smb.conf to be the workgroup you need to connect to? [05:14] ver [05:14] Greetings again [05:14] oldude67: ok [05:14] pheonix, find it? [05:15] Dr._Willis, I'm a n00b and dont really knbow how to do that in Ubuntu [05:15] Has anyone here succesfully record sound using a Mic or line in under ubuntu? [05:15] Curious. does Ubuntu 8.04 LTS have backports from 9.04 or later, stable? [05:15] How do I get ubutnu to upgrade firefox from 3.0 to 3.5?? [05:15] I'm kinda shocked at how frustrating it is to do something so simple, and I've been using linux since '96 [05:15] detrix: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [05:16] raydarluvr: edit as root the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - ner the top it defines the default work group. Im not sure this is needed.. but i always do it to prevent any quirks [05:16] you guys are awsome, sshfs worked perfectly for what I needed :D [05:16] I am trying to install djl [05:16] or just grab a copy from the website and manually install [05:16] jshriver: thanx [05:16] !ffe3 | detrix [05:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ffe3 [05:16] raydarluvr: also using the gnome file manager - give it the full path to the share the first time.

I believe so. [05:18] oldude67: thanks [05:18] Ivoz: yup dd over a ssh tunnel [05:18] is cinelerra not available through the Ubuntu repositories?

[05:18] Does Ubuntu 8.04 LTS have backports from 9.04 or later, stable? [05:18] dragon: dosent look like it. [05:18] ??? [05:18] remove count and you can change bs to anything or leave it out [05:19] So is that card info good enough for effects? Intel corp 82845G\GL [05:19] dragon: No - you need to add its repository, but the website provides a package that will do that for you. [05:19] Darael: alright, thanks [05:19] jrib thanks [05:19] how can i search for a particular pattern of files but with more than one pattern. i want to find *.a and *.so. i tried find -iname but it doesn't take more than one pattern afaik [05:19] Hilikus, | ? [05:19] Ivoz : then dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/targetdrive/disk.img [05:19] Hilikus: search /where/? [05:19] no, i tried that [05:20] Ivoz: ^ [05:20] search? never heard of that. i'll try it [05:20] regular expressions have some sort of 'or' syntax.. but i dont rember it off hand for find. [05:20] if is the drive you want to copy, of= points to where ever you want the image to be saved [05:20] Hilikus: no, where are you searching [05:20] Dr_Willis: i think its | but i don't think find -iname takes a regexp [05:20] or if you want to copy 1 drive to another same size drive then "dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/target" [05:21] Ok to simplfy my prob...I dont think i have the proper drivers..infact in my hardware drivers window..i have nothing at all [05:21] jrib, does it matter?? /usr/lib/ but that's not relevant. i want to find more than one pattern [05:21] i want effects..where can i download drivers [05:21] Dr. Willis I have no idea how to do what yuou are saying [05:21] Hi people I suddenly find that I can't unlock my taskbar. Is there anyway to fix that? [05:21] Oy... Will no one answer about Ubuntu 8.04? [05:21] i tried ls -R but it doesn't really recurse [05:21] Hilikus: yes, since there may be a better way. Anyway, probably easier to just use -o (see man page) [05:22] FireFly10: did you check in gconf [05:22] mac_v: new to this [05:22] Hilikus: try http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/Find/find_mini_tutorial.shtml they mention quoteint the regular exporession and some --regexp option [05:22] mac_v: can you explain? [05:22] FireFly10: ok... in terminal > enter "gconf-editor" [05:23] ok [05:23] l [05:23] FireFly10: without the quotes [05:23] command not found [05:23] Ubuntu 8.04 IS LTS meaning Long-Term-Support, riiiight? ;) [05:23] FireFly10: try alt+clicking and dragging it. [05:23] Pete6, what version of ubuntu are you running 9.04? [05:23] psi-jack: yup [05:24] Hilikus: if you really want to use -regex then you have to end up escaping parentheses and pipes... looks ugly [05:24] jrib: still no luck. Everthing is unmuted. I tried using line-in and Mic . When using the mic input I can hear my voice over the speakers. But nothing records. [05:24] Darael: not working [05:24] Okay then. Does LTS also mean it will be kept reasonably more up-to-date with backports for newer software, or more just for bug fixes in existing software? [05:24] jshriver: fwiw I use "capture 1" on one machine [05:24] jrib: :S thats true [05:24] hi. when you add your own words to aspell (IE "add environment to dictionary option when right clicking) where is it stored? how do you back that up on a comp upgrade? [05:24] jrib: sorry dont understand? what is capture 1 [05:25] Hilikus: you can probably mess with regextype but yeah -o is easier [05:25] FireFly10: gconf-editor < this should work [05:25] jshriver: the input device I select [05:25] psi-jack: LTS means it'll get security and stability updates for 3 years on desktop and 5 on server, no more than that. i.e no new versions of stuff, really. [05:25] mac_v: command not found [05:25] jrib: from gnome-sound-recorder? the input just says Capture, doesn't let me pic anything else like alsa or pulseaudio [05:25] Hilikus: your trying to find every file ending in .so and .a ? [05:25] ctmjr: yes [05:25] Darael: I see.. Well then.. For desktop, not really too much worth using then, is it? heh [05:26] jrib: i'll try -o [05:26] psi-jack: though enabling the -backports repository would change some of that. === Guest95509 is now known as superGear [05:26] is there a simple file to check? [05:26] Hilikus: try this locate *.so *.a [05:26] or a simple way to unlock it [05:26] i dont want to use locate [05:26] Herro [05:26] Darael: Ahhh, so there are backports, just not official? [05:26] where dose kde keep file related to kicker [05:26] psi-jack: In a large business environment, where stabiliy is key, then LTS releases are worth it on the deskop. [05:27] Who wants to go see District 9? [05:27] can I use a dcop command? [05:27] FireFly10: that is the command , to check the file , it should work , you are using Ubuntu right?, check the command , [05:27] psi-jack: they're official, just... different. It's complicated. [05:27] jrib: awesome -o did it [05:27] thanks jrib [05:27] its kubuntu with all gnome items removed [05:27] Darael: Heh.

[05:30] Ivoz: yes [05:30] Ivoz: yes, but gparted is pretty stable. But still possible [05:30] Hilikus, know what sort of chance?

[05:31] raydarluvr: perhaps hit the little notepad icon thats there? [05:31] Ivoz: if the drive is windows, I would defrag it to make sure the data is all clumped together, then use gparted in Ubuntu live to resize the free space. [05:31] hi all. i recently abandoned emerald, i ran gtk-window-decorator --replace. it seems to be loading most of my gtk themes fine except the window border != the window border shown in the appearance prefs, just some funky blue border instead [05:31] raydarluvr: ahh. that sounds like a deeper issue then. [05:31] Ivoz: just backup whatever you need badly, chances are nothing will happen [05:31] can anyone help me find out why my sound is gone?

[05:32] Could not display "smb://servername/sharename/". <-- what I get [05:32] Darael: And I dunno if eBox has ebox-desktop for 9.04 [05:32] raydarluvr: you may want to install the smbclient package and see if the 'findsmb' command even sees your network/shares/workgroups [05:32] Ivoz: still, you should have backups even if you don't repartition. [05:32] if you don't have anything THAT important, go ahead, gparted is pretty stable [05:32] ok [05:33] i would say 99% chances nothing will happen [05:33] but the thing is if something happens don't blame us [05:33] I think I have the SMBCLIENT installed. How do I run findsmb? I know I'm a pain in the arse [05:33] there IS a chance, wheather you take it or not is your call [05:33] might go and copy the 100gb of stuff on here... -_- [05:33] raydarluvr: open a terminal type 'findsmb' [05:34] That easy huh? [05:34] anyone? [05:34] :) [05:34] raydarluvr: 'learn, think, do, enjoy' [05:34] Hi all! I've managed to get Xubuntu (Jaunty) working for me pretty well on a home server. I copied my iTunes Music Folder files directly to /home/other_user/music, and am using Subsonic to serve them. I've noticed that I have some files that I'd like to clean up. They are all named "._SONGNAMEHERE" and are in the same directory as their respective songs. Is there a way to delete each of these files starting with ._ in each subdirectory [05:35] Can anyone help me figure out why my sound is gone?

Is this broken for anyone else? [05:37] Dr_Willis: i mean to get fusion-icon [05:37] dr_willis: would you know perhaps what i can check to see why I lost sound to ubuntu?

Ive not had to troubleshoot sound in ages [05:38] Quick question: I need to delete files whose names match a pattern (specifically, starting with ._) from all subdirectories of a specified directory. Is there a quick way to do that? [05:38] GavinMcG: use of the 'find' command and its -exec option normally. [05:38] mac_v: No, but my question had little to do with that except for contextualizing. [05:38] loyx, yes I tried that one also, but it crashes firefox everytime I try and load up a video [05:38] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll take a look [05:38] dr_willis: yeah it was fine and I booted up today and nothing..

[06:09] grilld: why do you want that [06:09] hi everyone [06:09] what package program will allow me to download all the files off a launchpad directory? [06:09] so i can point my domain to the specific ip's [06:09] I've just recently installed ubuntu and let me say that it's fantastic! [06:10] spO: if you can figure out the ftp server/path they are using . you could use wget [06:10] and 1 of my machines will be a web server [06:10] grilld: do you have 3 static public ips from your isp? [06:10] 5 actually [06:10] anyone know a good cheap place to host a small business website? [06:10] i have all the settings [06:10] just need to know what files to edit [06:10] i reinstalled windows VISTA and then UBUNTU on a dual boot scenario and if i can get ubunto working correctly then I'll bugger off Windows all together [06:10] then you should only have one ip per box [06:10] what linux fps's are the most active out interest? [06:10] not 2 [06:11] so i don't need to configure an internal ip as well? [06:11] no [06:11] editing /etc/network/interface? [06:11] grilld: [06:11] however, I hope you are using a firewall [06:11] yes [06:11] ok [06:11] so can i ask you guys , how can i determine if all of my devices on my laptop have been detected correctly [06:12] and do you prefer rythmic or amarok as a music player [06:12] so each bos will get a different ip that your isp gave you... they will all be on the same sub net and have the same default gateway [06:12] hi, guys. i want to try the fish shell. i'd like to make it the default for one terminal and have bash the default for another. is that possible? [06:12] toothdecay: savage2 is fairly active last i tried it.. then theres several based on the GPL'd quake engines [06:12] yes [06:12] can you query me please di||itante [06:12] grilld: youre set then [06:12] i cannot install karmic package from launchpad on a jaunty system ? [06:13] toothdecay: http://en.djl-linux.org/?q=node/20 has a list of popular games also. [06:13] ? [06:13] spO: mixing release packages - is nota good idea [06:13] Anyone know a good cheap place to host a small business website? [06:13] how do i download all the files, the dsc and the tar files from a launchpad release site? [06:13] Dr_Willis, thanks! I'll check this out, savage2 looks interesting! [06:13] anyonw know about how X / GNOME initialise on UBUNTU.. [06:14] the only thing i found wrong with it [06:14] toothdecay: that one is comercial. but it has like a 2 hr demo thing.. Theres other free FPS out. [06:14] toothdecay: i suck at all of them :) [06:14] is that when it initialises for a split second i can see some graphics on the screen that are only a few pixels in length [06:14] and then the logo is brought up [06:14] im wondering if there is a way i can make it initialise properly [06:14] Dr_Willis, haha I'm not expecting to do to well myself! [06:14] git clone https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/sabnzbdplus/0.4.11-1ubuntu1 does not download all the packages [06:15] spirosl: the video card is intiilzing you mean and you see a little bit of gfx junk? [06:15] spO, that's not supported here, and is a really bad idea [06:15] spirosl: if thats your biggest problem.. count yourself lucky. :) [06:16] Dr_Willis, yes ... is there a way to resolve it? [06:16] i need help seting dual screen in my pc [06:16] spirosl: no idea. Im not to worried about seeing the card 'initilize' [06:16] i'm guessing there are other compatibility issues but i'd like to log them and fix them one at a time [06:16] Does an easy way exist for a newbie to install kubuntu dualboot with vista on raid 0 setup? (winvista already installed) [06:16] hi [06:16] !xrandr | moonlight [06:16] moonlight: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [06:16] Error: Breaks exisiting package 'flashplugin-installer' conflict: flashplayer-mozilla ( ) [06:16] spirosl: its a driver thing most likely.. so will depend on the driver/card/driver version/kernel version.. [06:16] sikhst0rm: look at Wubi [06:16] i am trying to install the current version of sabnzbd, but i forgot how to do it [06:16] how can I remove the mozilla [06:17] i have a question.. [06:17] ubottu: tell sikhst0rm about wubi [06:17] sikhst0rm, please see my private message [06:17] roger [06:17] WUBI wont work with windows on a RAID i think. [06:17] Berzerker!!!!!!!!!! [06:17] Dr_Willis, all i know is that i've instaled 9.04 and it seems to be working fine with my video card... so you think i should now go through all of my hardward and use the recommended drivers from each manufacturer.. my laptop is a HP laptop. [06:17] Dr_Willis: oh. [06:17] Im also used 2.6 i believe [06:18] i want to change from linux Mint to ubuntu, and i made the best experiences with elyssa(which is basing on 8.04) [06:18] spirosl: i see such artifacts every so often then they vanish next driver releaee, and perhaps come back.. its not worth loseing sleep over. [06:18] u sure Dr_Willis [06:18] Immo_Phagg, keep it on topic [06:18] what do you mean? is it the same with ubuntu= [06:18] ? [06:18] Where is Berzerker [06:18] bazhang, can you ban Immo_Phagg please. [06:18] he's been nagging me for a while. [06:18] Immo_Phagg, No idea, not the problem of this channel [06:19] sikhst0rm: i think i saw this mentioned yesterday in here abotu wubi and raid.. i personally NEVER use or reccommend using wubi. [06:19] No I have not Berzerker [06:19] I need you to hear me out [06:19] Dr_Willis, OK.. so what's my next plan... what should i do now? aside from using this great OS? should i go through each device to make sure its found and using the correct driver [06:19] whatever it is, I don't care. [06:19] Berzerker, join #ubuntu-ops please [06:19] ah, forget it.. [06:19] Unban me from ##mac before my mac explodes [06:19] I need mac os assistance [06:19] Don't be so heartless [06:19] Immo_Phagg, stop with the offtopic [06:19] Ok [06:20] Dr_Willis so wat shud i do? [06:20] sikhst0rm: if you want to test out ubuntu. use it in virtualbox. [06:20] virtualbox is fantastic in Windows and on Ubuntu [06:20] i want to kinda use it but have it on dualboot and i dont nkow much about raid setups but mines is raid 0 (got it like this when i first bought it) [06:20] best alternative to VMWare and VirtualPC [06:20] is it possible to have different default shells on two different terminals? [06:21] binMonkey: not with the same user, but you can with different users [06:21] binMonkey: 'default' shells are set on a per user basis..but you can launch termianls with differnt shels via the comman dlineif you wanted [06:22] alias xterm-csh 'xterm -e csh' (i think) [06:22] the version of sabnzbd that is currently installed is an outdated one [06:22] sikhst0rm, Raid 0 is one drive isn't it maximum space? [06:22] Anyone using urxvt? I'm trying to set the font that it uses for japanese text and having no luck [06:22] has anyone here ever tried linux unified kernel? [06:22] Dr_Willis: thanks. does that command have a man page? [06:22] why for does jaunty have an outdated sabnzbd? [06:22] spO, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro [06:22] binMonkey: what command? [06:22] ubottu: i get this mesg Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select @1024x768 +0+768, DFP-0: 1024x768 @1024x768 +0+0' (Mode 1024x1536, id: 51) on X screen 0. [06:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:23] bazhang, what do you mean by rolling release? [06:23] Dr_Willis: dlineif [06:23] binMonkey: you could set up gnome-terminal with different configs also. [06:23] spirosl, things dont get added when they are updated immediately [06:23] binMonkey: reread what i said without the typos. [06:23] command line IF you wanted [06:23] bazhang, can you add the 'testing' source like you do in debian? [06:23] spirosl: each release gets only security and stability updates - no major version changes. [06:23] i see [06:23] Dr_Willis: ooooh. thanks. [06:24] i don't know why for i have to use outdated software [06:24] binMonkey: type sh and see which shell that give you [06:24] thanks for your explanations [06:24] spirosl, there are backports, proposed and PPA [06:24] I'm come from a heavy windows background [06:24] spirosl it is.. [06:24] spirosl, but those are at your own risk [06:24] and I'm starting to use linux / ubuntu to increase my skills for the corporate sector [06:24] spirosl it uses 2 drives as one for max space no backup [06:24] binMonkey: check out gnome-terminals session feature also. [06:25] spirosl: that makes two of us but were doing the right thing and sticking it to BILL :P [06:25] hi [06:25] sikhst0rm, anyway of resizing existing partition? [06:25] i can't start firefox 3.5 [06:25] binMonkey: whats your goal? [06:25] hah [06:25] it says "The application has been updated but your version of SQLite is too old and the application cannot run." [06:25] pepee, from the apps menu, or the terminal [06:25] pepee, how did you install firefox 3.5 [06:25] dillitante: i read about the fish shell and i'd like to try it. but i'd like to have bash available at the same time. [06:26] I was going to start with CentOS (which would have been better in my current circumstance) but I found ubuntu fantastic! [06:26] * Dr_Willis wonders if this is anotehr case of a user some how 'upgrading' their FF3.0 to FF3.5 some how... [06:26] hello [06:26] but sqlite3 (v 3.6.10-1ubuntu0.2) is installed [06:26] bazhang, aptitude [06:26] how can i check what type of terminal i am using at the moment? [06:26] on linux [06:26] binMonkey: make a program launcher on your desktop and have it open which ever shell you want [06:26] adrian__, on ubuntu? [06:26] binMonkey: Ok, so when you want to use fish, just run it, or make it your default and run bash as you like [06:27] adrian__: echo $TERM you mean? [06:27] Hey anyone in here run ubuntu amd 64 version? [06:27] sqlite3 --version 3.5.9 [06:27] aaron_: yes. a great many people use 64bit ubuntu [06:27] Dr_Willi: yes, that is it [06:27] Dr_Willis: thanks a lot [06:27] i'm having problems using the java plugins for firefox [06:27] binMonkey: drag the icon from the menus for terminal and right click on it to make it launch which ever shell you want [06:27] dillitante: i'd have to chsh every time, though, right? [06:27] what version are you guys using of sabnzbd? are you guys using 0.4.9 or 0.4.11 ? [06:28] it gives me this error [06:28] This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following: [06:28] * Check to make sure that java is enabled in your browser. (learn more) [06:28] * If you do not have java installed you may download it here. [06:28] * To learn more about java support for browsers, visit our help pages. [06:28] aaron_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:28] binMonkey: you can easially set up gnome-terminalto have a different 'session' for each shell you wish to try [06:28] Dr_Willis: thanks. i'm trying to find that option right now. [06:28] bucky: thanks. [06:29] any help [06:29] spO, sabanzbdplus? 0.4.9 for jaunty [06:29] aaron_: you did install java? [06:29] do you guys know of any tool / applet which i can use to log the amount of WAN traffic on my network so I can keep track of my network usage? [06:29] yes i did [06:29] :( [06:29] aaron_: i normally 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' to get java and more.. HOW did you install it? [06:30] binMonkey: TIMTOWTDI like Dr_Willis says you can go into Edit->Profiles on gnome terminal and set up different profiles [06:30] i renamed ~/.mozilla [06:30] spirosl, track and shape? there is trickle [06:30] do you guys know of any tool / applet which i can use to log the amount of WAN traffic on my network so I can keep track of my network usage? [06:30] i did a silly thing and clicked on my mobile broadband connection again which tried to reestablish the connection : [06:30] :( [06:31] spirosl_: I use my router for this, I have many machines so the only way is really the router [06:31] spirosl_, add the system monitor applet, right click it > preferences > then check network [06:31] Berzerker: but thats lan and wan [06:31] can we make a package so that i can run karmic packages on jaunty system? [06:31] di||itante, ok? [06:31] Berzerker, where do i find the applet? [06:32] bucky: IGOT IT!!! thanks for the help, guys. [06:32] found it [06:32] Berzerker: I think he wants to track wan usage presumably to make sure he wont exceed some cap [06:32] yes correct [06:32] bucky: what is timtowtdi? [06:32] spO sure.. build a new deb from the karmic source, dsc and diff files [06:32] spO it's called a back port [06:32] spirosl_: then the net applet will not give you an accurate reading [06:33] binMonkey: There Is More Than One Way To Do It [06:33] Berzerker, for the new flashplayer.DEB pkg you need to uninstall flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree [06:33] incase anyone else comes in with the same issue [06:34] ok [06:34] thanks [06:34] but now mozilla is goin good again [06:34] thanks for all the heelp [06:34] anyone use xchat here? [06:35] Berzerker, yes [06:35] Berzerker: a little [06:35] I'd previously set up several folders to be shared with my laptop...can someone remind me what configuration file on the server lists what folders to share? [06:35] bazhang, any way to disable the tabs for the networks? [06:35] where is partitioning ? can't find it ! [06:35] trying to get the microphone going... can anyone help? [06:35] bazhang, so that alt+number works for only the channels [06:36] Geoffrey2: did u use nfs or samba [06:36] web5|org|ua: Gparted? it's under system->administration on a live CD, but will need installing on a full install. [06:37] nfs [06:37] Berzerker, in prefs channel switcher? not sure as I dont use tabs with xchat [06:37] Berzerker: put your cursor over the border next to the chat window until the cursor becomes a <-> and push it over [06:37] Geoffrey2: look at /etc/exports [06:37] bucky, uh. what? [06:37] is there a GUI for brasero? [06:38] web5|org|ua, sudo apt-get install gparted [06:38] emanux: yup. [06:38] di||itante, there it is, thanks :) [06:38] Berzerker: put your cursor over the border next to the chat window until the cursor becomes a <-> push down on the left mouse button and push it over... like drag and drop [06:38] web5|org|ua, then it's under Administration [06:38] Darael: aha, thnx [06:38] i think jaunty is too outdated to be "cool" [06:38] bucky, I don't think you understood my question lol [06:38] bucky: i went one better. i set one launcher with --command fish and the other normal and now it's EXACTLY how i wanted it. thanks! [06:38] bazhang, what do you use? [06:38] Berzerker: thnx [06:38] Berzerker: you want to get rid of your channel pane? [06:38] i would like to use karmic, but it won't install correctly [06:38] bucky, no I want to get rid of the network tabs [06:39] bucky, so that only the channels appear [06:39] Darael: i mean just like nero? [06:39] spO, #ubuntu+1 for karmic help/discussion [06:39] Berzerker: what's a network tab? [06:39] bucky, like it says "Freenode" and gives messages about it [06:39] bucky, it acts like a channel [06:39] Berzerker, not sure how that is done, xchat docs or a visit to #xchat perhaps [06:40] emanux: I don't know; never used Nero. I'm sure there's a Brasero GUI under applications->accessories or maybe sound+ideo. [06:40] bazhang, yeah I'm there asking. they're kinda dead though lol [06:40] Berzerker: you have tabs like firefox? [06:40] quick question if I download ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso, will I get WUBI installer with it? [06:40] how do i change my default audio player, it was movie player, but i got potamus, and i only want to use movie player for movies so i can listen to music at the same time [06:40] bucky, no but similar. [06:40] Berzerker [06:40] tcpip_mrb: yup. [06:41] Immo_Phagg, stop it [06:41] tcpip_mrb, you should, but why not just install it from boot? [06:41] bazhang, ignore ftw. [06:41] Berzerker: that's in jaunty? [06:41] What did I do [06:41] Immo_Phagg, you're offtopic [06:41] All I said was Berzerker that's not offtopic [06:42] Immo_Phagg: but you're going OT now, aren't you? [06:42] bucky, yeah [06:42] thanks Darael Berzerker : I dont like partitioning [06:42] Immo_Phagg, you have a support question? ask the whole channel dont target one user [06:42] ok [06:42] Berzerker: I don't think that's possible since all channels are connected to the "Freenode" server. That's just me. Don't hold me on it though, but I'm very certain. [06:42] Berzerker: i don't have tabs [06:43] leaf-sheep, the way Linkinus on OS X does it is hide the tabs but shows server messages when they come in in the current open channel [06:44] Berzerker: is it a tab or a window pane [06:44] Berzerker: does not seem to be possible in Xchat. I use irssi and that does what you want. I can tab through channels only and they may be on numerous servers [06:44] Berzerker: Check the XChat scripts or ask in #xchat. I think this is trivial matter... Customizing to your likings, but then again, I do the same thing... customizing to my likings. ;) [06:44] brb [06:44] OK all [06:44] thanks for your help! [06:45] I'm off now so I'll catch up with you later! Enjoy spirosl [06:45] it works! [06:46] Darael: when i open brasero, it open nautilus browser [06:46] Berzerker: how did you do it [06:46] thanks for the help, guys. have a good night. [06:46] Hello [06:46] i want some GUI that show the size of all files to be brun [06:46] Bearshare, hi [06:46] di||itante, Preferences > channel switcher > uncheck "open extra tab for server messages" [06:46] how are you [06:47] although it kinda sucks. [06:47] emanux_: i tend to use k3b for my burning needs [06:47] What is this room, #you_have_got_to_be_kidding [06:47] Berzerker: so now you dont see any server tabs, only channel tabs? [06:47] emanux_, k3b is great for that [06:47] ok, im using ubuntu :) [06:47] Bearshare, ask in #freenode NOT here [06:47] di||itante, yeah but it's kinda half-assed. it combined the server tab with the first channel lol [06:47] i mean gnome [06:48] i know is great [06:48] emanux_, thats okay k3b runs great in gnome [06:48] Berzerker: actually i think the msgs go to whatever channel you are in. [06:48] really? [06:48] Berzerker: hmmm, so youre getting server messages in the channel [06:48] emanux_, of course [06:48] so i can install k3b in gnome? [06:48] emanux_: yes.. trivial [06:48] di||itante, yeah [06:48] sudo apt-get install k3b emanux_ [06:48] Dr_Willis, possibly. someone version me and test it [06:49] trivial? means hard to install? [06:49] Berzerker: thats not so bad if the server is quiet [06:49] yeah [06:49] trivial = super easy [06:49] k3b is wonderful [06:49] it does do it in the channel you're in [06:49] Berzerker: Have you sued irssi [06:49] ah ok will try to install [06:49] used [06:49] I have an eee-pc running Ubuntu and I want to know how to get my webcam and mic working with it? [06:49] di||itante, irssi? like terminal based? no thanks lol [06:49] mind you they are built in [06:49] Berzerker: i perfer WeeChat these daysover irssi. :) and irssi over xchat [06:50] Berzerker: oh, ok :-) [06:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC Bearshare [06:50] Why won't you just help me here [06:50] Bearshare: curious do you have ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix? [06:50] installing k3b.... :) [06:50] Bearshare: they would just be pasteing the instructions at that site most likely [06:50] will give feedback later [06:51] I have ubuntu 810 [06:51] My webcam and mic work on my AAO with the Ubuntu netbook remix, [06:51] Bearshare: You might with to upgrade to a newer release then.

[06:53] bearshare... [06:53] why can't I see bearshare's messages [06:53] the hardware drivers/features for the older releases are not going tobe as good for the netbooks as the newer relesases [06:53] Bearshare, did you read the link? [06:53] bazhang, only person I have ignored is immo_phagg. :P [06:53] yes [06:53] Berzerker, leave it alone please [06:53] who's a phagg? [06:54] Bearshare, keep it on topic [06:54] Yeah so how much hardrive space did you start off with bazhang [06:55] Bearshare, same exact amount [06:55] anybody mind putting their /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-wacom on pastebin for me? I lost the original :( [06:55] which is [06:55] hello [06:55] !find 10-wacom [06:55] File 10-wacom found in xserver-xorg-input-wacom [06:56] hi [06:56] who you?

Gutsy is no longer supported so I can't update it. Would it be a problem to go directly to Hardy without a fully updated Gutsy? [06:59] Hmm.. you can update/upgrade from one release to the next.. but with that many upgrades - it may be risky [06:59] Velt: if the upgrade script allows it it should be ok [07:00] I'm only trying to go from 7.10 to 8.04, I am not interested in Intrepid or Jaunty. Update-manager seems OK with it, guess I'll give it a shot. [07:00] Velt: go for it [07:01] Alright, thanks.

[07:08] hi all. im trying to install something from .deb but its greyed out http://www.imagebam.com/image/d5002c45494641 === paperclip__ is now known as paprclip [07:09] Berzerker: early morning snack [07:09] how do i make X forwarding over ssh possible? it says /usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file [07:09] geekmaster1: You're downloading something from debain site? [07:10] debian* [07:10] i want the ssh connections to share x [07:10] leaf-sheep, yes and or getdeb [07:10] damo221: you did use 'ssh -X remotemachine' ? [07:10] Dr_Willis: yes [07:10] leaf-sheep: in the ssh command add the "-X" option [07:10] damo221: also the ssh server has to have that fetarue enabled. [07:10] damo221: dont confuse -x with -X either :) [07:10] Dr_Willis, from another repo [07:11] leaf-sheep: and in the server config you need to enable it too [07:11] leaf-sheep, if i try to install pidgin from synaptic it says its going to uninstall 'ubuntu-desktop' [07:11] pepee: why not yuse the ones in the normal ubuntu repositories? [07:11] di||itante: Thanks for... that information? [07:11] i do [07:11] ssh -X [07:11] doesnt work [07:11] leaf-sheep, i cant install the same package from 'getdeb' either [07:11] when i try to run an X app [07:11] but nothing work [07:11] geekmaster1: Are you trying to update to latest Pidgin? [07:11] leaf-sheep, im trying to get pidgin on there period. its gone [07:11] damo221: the server has to allow it from the sshd_config [07:11] di||itante: You want damo221 :) [07:12] pepee: uninstall teh firefox's you got installed from 'whever' enable the normal repos - reinstall firefox. [07:12] oh [07:12] leaf-sheep: thanks [07:12] geekmaster1: Have you checked this out? http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [07:12] leaf-sheep, yes [07:13] i installed the karmic version of sqlite3, but didn't worked [07:13] leaf-sheep, i did that [07:13] leaf-sheep, "leaf-sheep, if i try to install pidgin from synaptic it says its going to uninstall 'ubuntu-desktop'" [07:13] pepee, no wonder [07:13] X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. [07:13] Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 [07:13] pepee: sounds like you got things all goofed up if you are mixxing up different release packages.. [07:13] geekmaster1: Removing ubuntu-desktop will not remove your system. It's a metapackage. You could install ubuntu-desktop again afterward. [07:13] pepee, installing /mixing different versions leads to this [07:13] damo221: did you remember to configure gdm to allow remote connections? [07:13] pepee: i would say start uninstalling whatevber you 'tried' and then install the normal packages. [07:14] look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7772350 [07:14] geekmaster1: I'm not sure why it would want ubuntu-desktop removed. Unless you did something. [07:14] Gnea: probably not [07:14] leaf-sheep, 'Depends: libpurple0 but it is not going to be installed' [07:14] ubuntu-desktop gets 'removed' whenyou do somthing that removes/changes one of the meta-packages it depends on. [07:14] damo221: are you the same user on the server and remote? [07:15] di||itante: no [07:15] damo221: thats the issue [07:15] leaf-sheep, libpurple0: Depends: libgstfarsight0.10-0 but it is not going to be installed [07:15] geekmaster1: Install pidgin, not libpurple0 ? [07:15] leaf-sheep, pidgin: Depends: libpurple0 but it is not going to be installed [07:16] di||itante: i have to set up an account for each person i want to access X ? [07:16] anyone using hddtemp? [07:16] damo221: I dont know, I dont think so but I dont know how to do it otherwise [07:16] leaf-sheep, 'http://www.imagebam.com/image/16240545494839' [07:17] geekmaster1: What happened to pidgin though? How did it end up uninstalled? [07:17] leaf-sheep, http://www.imagebam.com/image/16240545494839 [07:17] You got to have a user to 'ssh -X ' to ..... i thought [07:17] leaf-sheep, i dunno. i updated and it uninstalled pidgin [07:17] damo221: your local xserver is having an issue with trying to run a program as the suer on the server side [07:17] user [07:18] Dr_Willis, bazhang yes, i installed ffox 3.5 without uninstalling ffox 3.0... [07:18] Err.. you DID isntall the ssh server? [07:18] geekmaster1: Try "sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade" to ensure there are no problems so far. [07:18] but it seems that there's a way to solve this [07:18] pepee: i also installed ff3.5 with FF3.0 on Jaunty with no hassles. [07:18] leaf-sheep, thats what i did and it removed pidgin [07:18] pepee, that does not matter, it will reinstall anyway; your problem is mixing karmic and jaunty [07:18] Dr_Willis: i am connecting from one user on the client, to a different user (who exists on the server) [07:18] pepee: im not sure what the origianl 'problem' was you tried to fix.. that you ended up breaking things worse. [07:18] damo221: ya got to tell the ssh command the user to connect as . [07:18] you can install FF3.5 and FF3.0 side by side because they are different packages. [07:19] damo221: on another topic, do you really want numerous people sshing to the sam account on a server? [07:19] geekmaster1: What's in your /etc/apt/source.list? You have bunch of PPA/Repos in there? [07:19] How can I burn the Ubuntu ISO to CDR through cli, like cdrecord? [07:19] pepee, remove what you had, get rid of karmic repos; though at this time you had better back up as who knows what has been in terms of damage [07:19] !info wodim [07:19] wodim (source: cdrkit): command line CD/DVD writing tool.

Version 9:1.1.9-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 428 kB, installed size 876 kB [07:19] bazhang, no, i don't think so, i tried with karmic packages after installing ffox 3.5 [07:19] di||itante: i want to be able to ssh from one box to another, with different accounts [07:20] i have not karmic repos [07:20] !wodim | psi-jack [07:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about wodim [07:20] leaf-sheep, i guess [07:20] fail bot [07:20] damo221: what are you trying to do with ssh? [07:20] pepee, that is your problem most certainly. karmic and jaunty mixing [07:20] bazhang, look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7772350 [07:20] ssh -X username@hostname [07:21] Is anyone here especially familiar with the "pioneers" package and game?

I'm having a weird problem where not even my computer players can connect to my local game [07:22] di||itante: try opening an X app [07:22] damo221: yes it works for me [07:22] :( [07:22] damo221: hang on [07:22] geekmaster1: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package. You could remove that. Also, you could continue and remove it. Afterward, install ubuntu-desktop again. However, any package (that links to ubuntu-desktop) you removed after clean installation might be reinstalled again. [07:23] can i change group elite2 to user2 in my groupfile? how do i change the group name and also change the group of all the files that had the previous group to the new group? [07:24] well, thanks guys, i'm going to install ffox 3.0 again [07:24] leaf-sheep, ok [07:24] brb [07:24] pepee, what's the problem? [07:24] bye people [07:24] I still wonder what it is with people breaking firefox all day long.... [07:24] :) [07:24] man.. wodim/cdrecord doesn't give a progress of it's burning. heh [07:25] Hmmm.. Wait.. Did Ubuntu 8.04 have LVM support during installation? [07:25] Berzerker, ffox 3 has problems with flash... [07:25] I have no problems with Firefox 3 and flash here. [07:25] Did/does/ [07:26] I think its more of a 'flash has problems' with everything.... [07:26] damo221: I think at some point I modded my ~/.Xauthority file [07:26] psi-jack: Not likely. Unless you're using alternative disc during installation for LVM support. [07:26] psi-jack: And encryption support. === skoneru is now known as tinkers [07:26] Oy... [07:26] leaf-sheep: it depends on what you mean by encryption support [07:26] And the 8.04.3 alternate install was only available to download via torrent. GRR! === MVP is now known as Guest94097 [07:27] ectospasm: cryptsetup, I believe. [07:27] damo221: mkxauth is still useful for transferring .Xauthority information to remote login sessions so that the user can display remote X clients on the local host without too much trouble. [07:27] pepee, not on mine lol [07:27] damo221: do some googling, youll figure it out [07:27] leaf-sheep: yeah, that's for disk-level encryption. IIRC the full version of Jaunty will install ecryptfs and set up your private directory for you [07:27] damo221: Im sorry I done remember the details [07:27] well, i'm f***ed :( [07:28] pepee, watch the language [07:28] oh sorry [07:28] thanks guys [07:28] bye [07:28] ectospasm: Does not that only encrypt a private directory (eg ~/Private) as opposed to a full-system encryption? [07:29] leaf-sheep: yeah [07:29] hi, i'm having problems installing archived files that depend on each other. [07:30] leaf-sheep: ecryptfs has advantages over block-level encryption, read the ecryptfs FAQ [07:30] leaf-sheep: but as with anything, there are tradeoffs [07:30] psi-jack: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [07:31] does anybody know of a gnome app that is equivalent to verve in XFCE or the KDE3 launcher app? [07:31] something in my panel that I can enter commands into without a terminal window [07:31] leaf-sheep: Poifect, thanks. [07:31] jmite: ALt-F2 doesnt' do what you need? [07:32] leaf-sheep: I didn't want to have to use the "alternative" method of installing lvm support into Ubuntu's live desktop installer method, pain in the arse. Unless that method's the only way to enable striping properly. [07:32] jmite: or gnome-do, i though i saw some command linein the panle applet at one time.. but its proberly not installed by default [07:32] LVM is separate from RAID, LVM doesn't do striping, does it? [07:32] ectospasm: I'm looking for something that docks into the panel, and that is a little more friendly with commands that aren't necesarrily programs "ie compiz --replace" [07:32] ectospasm: Umm, yes it does does. [07:33] jmite:RC on the panel > add to panel > launch application === robbie_ is now known as robbieff [07:33] Dr_Willis: that's a good idea,I'll check out gnome do [07:33] ectospasm: It does striping actually rather quite well for software volume management approaches. [07:33] psi-jack: I think you can install lvm on Ubuntu Live Desktop and install it. I can't be sure but I read something about it once N days ago. Anyway, I know alternative disk got LVM support. That's all. [07:33] after i change my group's name from IAMELITE to user in my /etc/group file, how do I change all the files on my system to use the new group instead of the previous one? === dac is now known as Dacvak [07:33] leaf-sheep: Yes, I know you can. It's just a pain to do it. ;) [07:33] Hey guys, what's the best way to install Beryl/Compiz? [07:33] !ccsm | Dacvak [07:33] Dacvak: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [07:34] leaf-sheep: But, yeah, if it boils down to it, if Ubuntu's alternate installer doesn't let me do lvm striping proper, then I /will/ use the live method manually. [07:34] di||ante: I have no such app listed. is there a deb I should install? [07:34] psi-jack: I guess I've never looked into what goes on underneath a multiple PV LV [07:34] Dacvak, its compiz now, beryl is long gone help in #compiz [07:34] ...especially one that spans multiple physical disks [07:34] :tinkers kbkris12 [07:34] ectospasm: LVM also has the nice wonderful snapshots capability. ;) [07:35] ectospasm: Thanks for the knowledge on ecrypts. :) [07:35] spO: find / -gid xxx -exec chown username \{\} \; [07:35] No one is responsive in #compiz. Is Compiz in the standard repo? Can I just apt-get it? [07:35] spO: oops, do this [07:35] Dacvak, what version of ubuntu? [07:35] spO: find / -gid xxx -exec chown username:groupname \{\} \; [07:36] 9.04 64bit [07:36] Dacvak, follow the instructions from ubottu above [07:36] Ok [07:38] Curious, anyone here use eBox with Ubuntu 9.04? [07:38] hi guys [07:38] i keep hearing ebox has 'issues' [07:38] ebox?? [07:38] Meaning, /an/ eBox server, with /another/ computer running Ubuntu 9.04 [07:38] !info ebox [07:38] ebox (source: ebox): the eBox platform - Base framework. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.4-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 342 kB, installed size 2512 kB [07:39] good descriptiuon eh [07:39] heh [07:39] what is eBox [07:39] I'm actually going to check out eBox for one or more of my server boxes, cause of the web management system they have built up for it. Pretty impressive by idea. [07:39] Jack in the ebox. [07:39] coolyas: Google it. ;) [07:39] !ebox | coolyas [07:39] coolyas: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [07:40] its a remote-admin-gui-web tol thing [07:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [07:40] OK [07:41] It just so happends to also nicely integrate LDAP support in place, which is one thing I was really interested in, along with web-based monitoring. [07:41] ojsadokd\ [07:43] Dr_Willis: Just curious, what kind of issues? [07:43] psi-jack, I'm reading problems with it with ubuntu. [07:43] Berzerker: Like? [07:43] psi-jack: no idea - every time it gets mentioned in here it gets scrreamed about.. :) [07:43] psi-jack: aparently some breakage in past releases... [07:43] psi-jack, it was one person, and they didn't explain, so no idea lol [07:44] Dr_Willis: Ahh, well, they just recently released 1.2 not long ago. [07:45] psi-jack: wait for service pack 1 for it. [07:45] Dr_Willis: I'm looking into it for home server use, and for work server use, cause our co-lo servers, we're about to be using our own double-redundant ipvs load balancers, and the easier to maintain the better, most of our servers are gentoo-based, and that can be a hassle for large amounts of probabilities for routing. [07:45] I need to ask a question [07:45] !ask | MeditatingFrog [07:45] MeditatingFrog: 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. :-) [07:45] blah [07:45] Hi - I've managed to install Ubuntu but it keeps losing my resolution every time I reboot. I have installed the Nvidia drivers and changed the resolution through it and saved to the xconfig using sudo but my resolution keeps changing when I reboot. [07:45] !ask | Megabyte [07:45] Megabyte: 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. :-) [07:45] * Dr_Willis starts the meter for Megabyte [07:46] 'go on, how does that make you feel?' [07:46] :) [07:46] If it helps the resolution is correct for login screen but reverts to 800x600 when desktop opens :( [07:46] Berberi, Dr_Willis what is the whole if it is something contained in itself, and it doesn't exist in time, and it always change, so it can't be like itself? [07:47] Alrighty.. Well, anyway. Got all my backups I think, done, so I'm off to go install Ubuntu on here. [07:47] Megabyte: it is what it was , and what it will be will always has been. [07:47] Dr_Willis, But how can it be, if it is outside of time? [07:47] 'zen and the art of system maintance' [07:47] Megabyte: there is no time to be outside of. [07:48] I am not able to Hibernate.. Showing error "Not enough Swap space" I have 500mb of swap space [07:48] Dr_Willis, If it isn't outside of time it's not whole, because it is part of something [07:48] Dr_Willis, (time) [07:48] Somebody help me please [07:48] dca, time to increase your swap space [07:48] dca: you need a bigger swap partition perhaps. [07:49] I'm sorry to bother you guys about this, but could someone tell me how to get that Apple-esque bottom screen toolbar? [07:49] Dacvak, like a dock? [07:49] Yeah [07:49] sudo apt-get install awn [07:49] Dacvak: one of the many useless 'docks' that exist. [07:49] harmonic: how can i increase swap space [07:49] !dock [07:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about dock [07:49] Should I not get something like that? [07:49] Dr_Willis, u r winnar. [07:49] dca: resize the swap partition. [07:49] Dacvak, if you want it, go ahead. some people despise apple, and therfore, the dock. I find it handy sometimes. [07:50] I'm going for efficiency, not style. [07:50] I find the dock get in the way of the more useable gnome panels. [07:50] I don't like Apple, but I'm not biased. [07:50] Dr_Willis, yet, if it has no shape, and it is outside of time, because if it was inside time it was part of something, and it can't be like itself, and it can't be nothing, because nothing is, what is "the whole"? [07:50] dca, use something like gparted to increase swap partition size. but backup first! [07:50] Dacvak: its fine but just eye candy. You need to be running compiz for it to work too [07:50] If it works, it works. [07:50] Dr_Willis: i installed gparted for that.. but not getting that option [07:50] I'm running compiz [07:50] dca: you cant resize partitions that are mounted or in use. [07:50] What *is* this thing, if it can't be whole but it can't be nothing and it can't be something? [07:50] Does it take the place of the bottom toolbar thing? [07:50] * Megabyte is completely confused [07:51] Dr_Willis: okay... let me try it out.. [07:51] Dacvak: they replace the bottom panel normally. or they can auto hide [07:51] Hi [07:51] Dacvak: no, but you wont want both, takes up too much real estate [07:51] Dacvak: gnome-do has a similer feature that has a dock theme that works ok. [07:51] Oh yeah? Where's that? [07:52] Install gnome-do check its themes [07:52] !gnome-do [07:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-do [07:52] Megabyte, do you...have a question about ubuntu? lol [07:52] gnome do's 'shelf' feature shows up things in a dock. [07:52] Berzerker, Is Ubuntu a part of a whole, or something whole? [07:52] Ok, cool. I'll check it out. What was the Apple dock called again? [07:52] Megabyte, Ubuntu is something whole. A whole Operating system. [07:53] Dr_Willis: How much should be my Swap space [07:53] secret [07:53] Megabyte, but it is also a part of a whole of a category. [07:53] Dacvak: theres several dock apps you can play with. wbar, awn, otheres [07:53] Megabyte, everything is a whole of something, and part of something else. [07:53] dca: depends on your ram. if yoiu want to hibernet it needs to be bigger then avail ram. [07:53] Berzerker, If it is whole, it can't be like itself, and it can't be within time, and it can't be anything, and it can't have shape, and it can't be nothing, anything or something... [07:53] Thanks a lot. I'll look into those. [07:53] Berzerker, then "is" Ubuntu? [07:53] Dr_Willis: Thanks Friend [07:54] Megabyte, take your philosophic mumbo-jumbo elsewhere. this channel is for technical questions about using Ubuntu lol. [07:54] Berzerker, well, you could answer me :P [07:54] hahaha [07:54] Megabyte, I could. but I'm not going to because the answer should not be given in this channel. [07:55] !ot [07:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:55] Berzerker, You have to admit though that I did make a question about Ubuntu, didn't I? [07:55] Can anyone help with my resolution issue? [07:55] hi people can some help me, i wish to install ubuntu on a compaq pressario 5410 (very old) however it seems the latest server kernel doesnt work with it, so i am wondering which kernels work for it? [07:55] Megabyte, this channel is for help with USING ubuntu. if you're not using it, then you cannot ask an ontopic question in here. [07:55] Pirate_Hunter: what cpu?/system specs [07:56] Dr_Willis, whats the command to check that again, forgot [07:56] Stew! [07:57] Bearshare, stay on topic [07:57] Berzerker, I see... but it was fun while it lasted :( [07:57] Pirate_Hunter cat /proc/cpuinfo and cat /proc/meminfo [07:57] Pirate_Hunter: how can you type a command.. if it wont install the os? [07:57] :) [07:57] Megabyte, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:57] bazhang, I'll leave... I'll just say farewell [07:57] See you, guys [07:57] thanks [07:58] First time here--is this open for any questions? [07:58] ksonnad, related to ubuntu sure [07:58] ksonnad: yes. [07:58] Dr_Willis, it is installed but it had a generic kernel however i updated it to the latest kernel which made the box unable to boot because it said something that it wasnt the right kernel for the box and it needed function 0:6 0:15 [07:59] Okay. There are several bugs in Rhythmbox for Jaunty that degrade its usefulness for me. They have been fixed in Karmix. Is there any way I can upgrade to the Karmic version? [07:59] ksonnad, wait for karmic release and upgrade [07:59] Dr_Willis: I cannot resize ... there is no free space preceeding :( [07:59] Aside from that option, of course. =) [07:59] Dr_Willis: Any idea how can i go about [08:00] dca: well you have to resize whats befor it.. then.. and shrink that.. to put some unallocated space ahead of it. [08:00] ksonnad, mixing version repos packages is a bad idea and not supported [08:00] dca: backup all imporntant data befor doing filesystem resizeing operations [08:00] Dr_Willis: thanks.. let me try it [08:00] I understand that it's messy. But I've heard of stuff like apt-pinning and force version in synaptic. I was just wondering if its possible? [08:01] #ubuntu-ir [08:01] ksonnad: if the changes are to the Rmbox source code, in theory you could download that source & compile it. But it would be a lot of work, and not a good project for a beginner. And it might still not work.... [08:01] ksonnad, lots of things are possible, but you are on your own (ie not supported) at that point, better to find a PPA or check in backports [08:02] Dr_Willis, any clue which kernels provide that function [08:02] Oh balls, in messing with the compiz settings, I've somehow managed to disable the ability to drag a window from one desktop to another. Any idea on how to re-enable this? [08:02] Pirate_Hunter: not a clue. [08:02] Dacvak, plugin move windows iirc [08:02] losher: What kind of conflicts would that cause with the installed package? [08:03] hello [08:03] bazhang: What is that? [08:03] Dacvak, a checkbox in ccsm [08:04] Oh. I can't seem to find it. I'm still looking, though. [08:05] i have problems activating my fglrx on a custom 2.6.30-4 kernel .... have any of you sucessfully used fglrx with a custom kernel? [08:05] Resolution keeps resetting to 800x600 - Anyone ideas (Ubuntu 9.04)? [08:05] ksonnad: no conflicts if you're just compiling & testing. But the hard part will be compiling it. New source might depend on new libraries that are only available in Karmic. In which case you'd be screwed... [08:05] Horusofoz: could be a bunch of things. Ubuntu may not be recognizing your monitor (I had this problem once because of bent pins on the VGA cable) [08:06] dvi monitors are so much better then vga in this area. :) [08:06] Dr_Willis: Sorry to bother u again.. I have two Ntfs partitions and then the extented partiition where Linux is installed.. [08:06] losher: I've tried it once before and run into issues, although I didn't try very hard to solve them. In any case, that's why I was wondering if there was another way to do it, e.g. apt-pinning or force-version or something.... [08:06] Dr_Willis: but not getting any option to shrink the ntfs partitions [08:07] dca: be sure its not in use.. use gparted from a live cd perhaps.. or use windows to shrink the ntfs within windows. [08:07] ectospasm: Ubuntu has recognised the screen and got me to install the Nvidia drivers. Then I open Nvidia with sudo, save the settings to X Confinguration then reboot and the resoution is reset. If it help the resolution is correct at login screen but reverts once the desktop loads up :( [08:08] ksonnad: the apt tricks mainly work when you want to preserve and old version of something, not a new version from a different release. I'd give up on it if I were you... [08:08] dca: i always use primary partitions. the partitions in the 'extended' partition may need extra work/steps to resize it., [08:08] Dr_Willis: thanks friend... [08:08] hi. when you add your own words to aspell (IE "add environment to dictionary option when right clicking) where is it stored? how do you back that up on a comp upgrade? [08:08] Horusofoz: take out all the modes except the one(s) you want in xorg.conf [08:08] ksonnad i would just use another music program [08:08] zeltak: must be in the users home directroy somewhere.. thats all i know :() [08:09] syntax: Unfortunately, it's the only one that incorporates all the features I want. [08:09] zeltak: probably $HOME/.aspell* [08:09] Horusofoz: can you repeat your question? [08:10] losher: Thanks for the advice. I'll probably beat my head against the wall for a couple hours anyway. :) [08:10] firecrotch: When I run Ubuntu the login screen has the correct resolution but it reverts to 800x600 at the desktop [08:10] thx guys but i cant find it in the home dir, any other places i should look at? [08:11] Dr_Willis: I am logging off and trying to shrink the partition from windows.. will get back to u ...thanks once again.. :) [08:11] ksonnad: ah, well if it's a headache you want, just install Karmic. And back up your current system before you do it, 'cause you'll need it... [08:11] firecrotch: I installed the nVidia drivers as ubuntu directed and set the resolution, saved over xorg.conf but it reverts on reboot :( [08:11] Horusofoz: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please :) [08:11] hi guys, I was wondering if it is safe to remove the cache folder contents located in the home directory [08:12] zeltak: look again. I have .aspell.en.prepl and .aspell.en.pws in my home directory... [08:12] losher: Well, I do have an empty partition....maybe I will. ;-) [08:12] ectospasm: Ubuntu is installed on a portable drive to use in various systems. If I remove all other resolution option will it cause issues when running on other screens? [08:13] Horusofoz: yes, it will, so my suggested is invalid for your use [08:13] wow that strange...im using kubuntu if that matters but cant find them. are they at the root home dir? [08:13] Horusofoz: Probably [08:13] join #kubuntu [08:13] guys, I was wondering if it is safe to remove the cache folder contents located in the home directory [08:14] thx i dont think its a kubuntu issue though [08:14] zeltak: when right clicking aspell? aspell is a cli app here.... [08:14] theres the users .aspell.conf file also [08:14] well i assumed its aspell. its the default spell checker in all gnome apps i sue [08:14] * Dr_Willis is checking the aspell docs with 'man aspell' and 'info aspell' [08:14] firecrotch: http://pastebin.com/m47a59dbe [08:15] zeltak: like what app? [08:15] Someone tried to help me earlier. I'm no longer able to slide windows from one desktop to the other. He recommended "Move Windows." That's working fine, I can drag windows, but when they hit the edge of the screen, they don't go to the next workspace. Any idea? [08:15] keepnote, tomboy etc.. [08:15] Dacvak, enable cube, enable cube rotate, make sure you have four sides to the cube [08:15] zeltak: the dictionary program seems to be using 'enchant' here for its spell checker [08:16] I'd prefer to use Wall instead of Cube. [08:16] Dr_Willis: in tomboy when you right click a misspeld word you get a menu [08:16] then when it hits the wall thats it [08:16] Dacvak : is compiz running ? [08:16] on that menu you have an option to add to dictionary..i want to upgrae to karmic alpha soon and dont want to lose all my added words [08:16] It's running. [08:17] And actually, enabling Cube Rotate didn't work. [08:17] I don't remember clicking anything to make this quit working. Could it just be a glitch? Should I just restart? [08:17] Dacvak: Are you sure that you have multiple workspaces set up? [08:17] zeltak: id guess its some where in the .gnome* dirs somewhere. [08:17] I have 4. [08:17] Dacvak, how did you activate it, check keybindings [08:17] Dacvak, 4 set where [08:17] * losher wonders just how many layers of software a person has to run to be able to slide a window from one desktop to the other... [08:17] Dacvak : disable and enable move windows to make sure [08:17] Horizontally. [08:17] I tried that. [08:18] i used locate to find any aspell files with no sucess [08:18] zeltak: im not convinced it is using aspell. [08:18] ahh gotcha..i kinda assumed it did [08:18] so you think its a gnome dictionary thing? [08:18] Hmmm, nothing's working. Maybe I should just restart? [08:18] Hello Hardy user, what version of openoffice.org is default? [08:18] zeltak: the dictionary app is set to use 'enchant' by default it seems [08:18] best to wait when someone is around in #compiz then as they will set it right in short order Dacvak [08:19] accidentally closed Pidgin [08:19] Dacvak : enable edge flip from the wall [08:19] It's enabled. [08:19] I just checked it. [08:19] Tried disabling and re-enabling. [08:19] Must be broke. [08:19] Dacvak: Did you mean none of the compiz effects are working? [08:19] All of the compiz effects are working fine. [08:19] sweet, thx Dr_Willis found the file with user added content :) [08:19] Just not edge flipping, apparently. [08:20] I have Edge Flip Move enabled. [08:20] zeltak: where was it? [08:20] zeltak: i added a word in tomboy. the disctionary program checker found it.. so it seems its using enchant. [08:20] ~/.config/enchant [08:20] leaf-sheep: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/openoffice.org [08:20] Dacvak: Do you have Snap Windows enabled? [08:20] Dacvak : did you try the keyboard shortcuts ? [08:20] The keyboard shortcuts work fine. [08:21] Let me check on snap windows. [08:21] Snapping Windows is enabled. [08:21] Disabled it, still nothing. [08:21] Boohbah: Cheers. :o [08:21] Dacvak : check the edge delay in the general tab [08:21] This is odd, because I don't think I messed anything up with this... Hmmm. [08:21] Ok. [08:22] Dacvak : make sure its low [08:22] Dacvak: And what is it exactly that you can't do? Can't move a window to another workspace? Can't make the workspace change when you do so? Or something else? [08:22] Wait, general tab of what? [08:22] I can't move a window to another workspace using just the mouse. [08:22] Right or left. [08:22] Dacvak : general options [08:23] Dacvak : edge trigger delay [08:23] That didn't fix it. [08:23] Set it to default [08:23] 0 [08:23] i wonder if enchant uses aspell as the dic..oh nevermind, thx again guys [08:23] Still nothing. :( [08:23] Dacvak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:23] Brb, I'm going to try just restarting. [08:23] Dacvak: did you do the restart you said you might try? 'Cos if that fixes it, you're gonna be really annoyed..... [08:24] Hey, I see that you're in the middle of something and everything but I've got a quick question? what would be the command to "set file ownership to root:root and file permissions to: rwx-r-xr-x." [08:24] zeltak: a pox on whoever wrote the enchant man page for not mentioning the files it uses... === dreamkeeper2 is now known as Firefishe [08:24] what command will tell me what ports are in used? [08:24] Dacvak : try pressing alt+f2 and type : compiz --replace [08:24] spO: sudo netstat -anp [08:25] spO: if you don't have netstat, 'sudo apt-get install net-tools' [08:25] hello [08:25] !hi | Narada [08:25] Narada: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! === dac is now known as Dacvak [08:26] Damn, still doesn't work. [08:26] :( [08:26] How do I restart my xserver?

[08:26] Both of those should suffice. [08:26] Still desperate to get display fixed here :( [08:26] Dacvak: Can you drag the window off the screen, or will it not move beyond the boundary? [08:27] Narada : do you have a built in gsm card reader ? [08:27] How would one set file ownership to root:root and file permissions to: rwx-r-xr-x. in terminal? [08:27] no [08:27] g get amobitel dongle [08:27] It'll drag off the screen until my mouse cursor hits the edge. [08:27] hey i'm having trouble installing visual themes.

[08:28] Whoa what the F [08:28] hello [08:28] It just started working again. [08:28] Narada : a 3g dongle ? [08:28] yes [08:28] it installed [08:28] I'm just going to never mess with it again. Lol.

I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me, too. [08:29] boohbah, not over aim protocol? for other services?

Like, Ctrl 1 launches Firefox or something? [08:33] there [08:33] system -> perf -> keryboard shortcuts perhaps?

But I already have the latest flash plugin installed, what should I do? Install another flash plugin through wine? [08:36] Tamnakz: actually... it says ekiga is compatible with windows messenger, so if your friend has that you should be able to use ekiga too [08:36] brazz:yup [08:36] Tamnakz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [08:36] ok, thta'd be easier [08:36] chip1: won't it be harmful to the computer?

Each time I use Firefox, after a bit of browsing, suddenly my scrollbar locks up, then the screen start artificating something fierce. What might be going on here? [08:38] chip1: if so, that would also mean that if I want to get better visual performance/graphics running windows app through wine, then I should install Direct3D through wine too. Is that right? [08:38] Brazz: correct [08:38] Narada : did you try the wvdial ? [08:39] it has installed [08:39] chip1: could I then install my video card's drivers using wine and get it working fine?

You should be able to shrink one partition leaving free space, and then grow the ubuntu partition, as long as they are contiguous. But messing with partitions is dangerous and can cause you to lose all your data. You've already made one mistake. How lucky do you feel? Make some backups first...

[09:35] Boohbah: No swap at all [09:35] does anybody know if its possible to run a twinview X session with both monitors rotated into portrait? [09:35] the nvidia frontend doesnt support even basic rotation [09:36] so i suppose it would have to be done thru xorg.conf [09:36] Boohbah: Also, this laptop has an Nvidia 9800GS chipset with half a gigabyte (512mb) of dedicated VRAM--which is why I'm using the proprietary module (or driver, if you prefer.) [09:36] ibuclaw: noooow it works :) *fiiiine* [09:36] hev lang polish ? [09:36] GreenDelta2, awesome :) [09:37] dreamkeeper2: please elaborate on the weird things going on with your browser [09:37] dreamkeeper2: and did the problem occur after you changed something?

Then, after a few seconds, the entire desktop starts artifacting. It looks like it's trying to render the analog clock widget (gadget, whatevah) many times, but it's not just limited to that. [09:38] !sound | iziezal [09:38] iziezal: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[09:39] reves, to setup twinview, you firstly need to put in BUSID of one of the cards into the xorg.conf file. Then you should be able to use nvidia-xsettings for the rest. [09:39] !please | Narada [09:39] Narada: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [09:40] bleh, I mean nvidia-settings [09:40] please help me [09:40] Narada: if you provide more details about the hardware and the configuration steps you have already taken then someone will be more likely to help [09:40] !details | Narada [09:40] Narada: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:41] any swine flu cases in ur places ? :P [09:41] Boohbah: Thanks, anyway. I'll play around with it. One other thing. How do I change the display manager? I want to switch to kdm and see if that makes a difference. [09:41] can i use linux server kernel on an AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor if so which one? [09:41] ok [09:41] Boohbah: Oh, incidentally: Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.04 [09:41] ibuclaw: i already have both cards setup. each cartd is running its own twinview session (4 monitors in total). but one card's twinview session, i want to flip into portrait... along with both monitors running on that card [09:41] dreamkeeper2: 'sudo dppkg-reconfigure kdm' might work [09:42] if this isnt possible its a major let down [09:42] dreamkeeper2: err, dpkg [09:42] Boohbah: I tried that, it said that kdm wouldn't be started as it wasn't the default display manager. [09:42] how can see who connected with my wireless??except using kismet that make my wireless turn into monitor mode :( [09:42] reves: check out the 'xrandr' commandyet? [09:43] dreamkeeper2: i should stop trying to do ubuntu dekstop support without an actual ubuntu desktop in front of me :) [09:43] Qu4R0w: you can see that by accessing your routers configuration page. Take a look through your routers manual or flash it with custom firmware [09:43] Boohbah: I've also tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg . All that did was reset my x server to the standard drivers. [09:43] not yet. i will now. does xrandr have capabilities for rotating a twinview session? [09:43] Boohbah: Oh, you're doing fine :). And I appreciate it. [09:43] Dr_Willis: not yet. i will now. does xrandr have capabilities for rotating a twinview session? [09:43] reves: it has a lot of features. it can do rotateing. but not sure how that works with twinview. [09:43] ziroday: can i see by in my terminal or tool/script? [09:43] reves: i just make it rotate so i can read my comic books better :P [09:44] i run ubuntu 9.4 and i used 3g dongle to cunnect internet.when i plug it lt will install atomaticaly.now i am use wareless internet cunnection.now want to disscunnect warelass and cunnect through 3g dongle.please help me [09:44] hmm okay ... i suspect its gonna be impossible. but i will look it up [09:44] Qu4R0w: not unless you put your wireless card in monitor mode, or you could use nmap and scan everyone on your LAN [09:44] OH god the spelling mistakes they hurt! [09:44] * sblunix dies due to OCD and spelling mistakes [09:44] please look at my script..i want set my own mac adress and ip by running that script(after i see mac and ip on kismet) [09:44] dreamkeeper2: should be able to select the default display manager in dpkg-rconfigure kdm, are you sure? [09:44] please help me [09:45] Qu4R0w: You can't really set you're own MAC address... [09:45] dreamkeeper2: wish i'd brought the ubuntu laptop today :) [09:45] ziroday: nmap -sP??it show all host up.. [09:45] Narada: if it installed automatically, do you see an interface in NetworkManager? [09:45] sblunix: i can change with macchanger..it working on my hotspot [09:45] Oh... [09:46] well then [09:46] good 4 u! :D [09:46] Boohbah: Well, that did it. I did it from gnome-terminal in X. When I tried it originally, I was in a full terminal session on another tty [09:46] or have tool same work as netcut for ubuntu? [09:46] Qu4R0w: netcat? [09:46] Boohbah: I guess that made the difference. I selected kdm for the next boot up. [09:46] so does anybody like, need help or anything, or is this all covered? [09:46] dreamkeeper2: excellent [09:46] Boohbah: netcut(in windows) [09:46] reves, ohh... I see now [09:46] Qu4R0w: hmm? [09:46] can someone help me figure out the type of server kernel/image to use on an old compaq presario 5410, because the latest server kernel stops the machine from booting since it doesnt provide function 0:6 0:15 [09:46] screen rotation ... [09:47] Qu4R0w: hmm never heard of it, i'll read up [09:47] netcut=easy to see ip and mac adress [09:47] Boohbah: Thanks for the help. I should be okay from here. I'm probably going to tailor down my background image a bit...nice pic, too, of a purple sunset on a Michigan lake I used to boat on. [09:47] Boohbah : yes it is in netwark cunnection [09:47] in linux,i wun know what tool can work as netcut [09:47] but how to activate [09:48] where is the netwarak manaker [09:48] Qu4R0w: use ifconfig in an terminal [09:48] Narada: Network is spelled: Network. [09:48] ortsvorsteher: ifconfig can see all ip and mac adress who connected to my wireless? [09:48] where is the network manager [09:48] #ubuntu-gr [09:48] We seem to have an extravagant amount of spelling and punctuation errors, tonight, sblunix. *hurts eyes* ;) [09:48] Well, I'm off like a prom dress, have to reboot. [09:48] Thanks again all [09:48] Qu4R0w: no, only the local nic's on you computer [09:48] or how can i save kismet scanning result? [09:49] "Off like a prom dress"? [09:49] Qu4R0w: nmap can detect MAC addresses [09:49] lol, fricken hilarious [09:49] ortsvorsteher: owh.. [09:49] Boohbah: i run nmap n it show all up=up.. [09:49] i run ubuntu 9.4 and i used 3g dongle to cunnect internet.when i plug it lt will install atomaticaly.now i am use wareless internet cunnection.now want to disscunnect warelass and cunnect through 3g dongle.please help me [09:50] u am use wareless internet cunnection? [09:50] Qu4R0w: if you're just doing a ping scan, you need to modify the flags [09:50] can someone help me figure out the type of server kernel/image to use on an old compaq presario 5410, because the latest server kernel stops the machine from booting since it doesnt provide function 0:6 0:15 [09:50] Narada: it should be on the top right of your screen [09:50] ok what do i need to do to reset gnome so i can use it ??

[09:59] i use it all the time [09:59] oh ubuntu is quite smart [09:59] myself: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:59] myself: testing out the google Chrome also [09:59] Must be something wrong with medibuntu. I have the sources and the keyring [09:59] ;) [10:00] is Shiretoko still in beta? thats what im asking [10:00] Dr_Willis, awww so that could be the issue with components 0:6 0:15 (which dont help much in pinpointing the problem) [10:00] myself: no. its just the code name for the 3.5 release.. so i think its out of 'beta' [10:00] how would I make the following statement work ? "gksudo eject /media/Mass memory". There is a problem with the space between "Mass memory" [10:00] Pirate_Hunter: yes.. I dontknow why you are so determined to have a 'server' kernel - when the other one works.. [10:00] I always get the error 'gtalk0 Network error' while signing into gtalk from EMPATHY, i'm really not able to figureout what the problem is.. my requirment is to have a voice chat with gtalk userswhat might be the problem in empathy?

If you want to do it BE my guest [10:01] and someone told me that its unwise to uninstall firefox because of dependancies??

[10:04] !ping [10:04] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [10:04] lol [10:04] hi [10:05] hello there I have a problem when I restart or shutdown it doesn't do them normally it stops at the black screen says "will now restart" or "will now halt" [10:05] Dr_Willis, just out of curiosity doesnt server perform smoother than generic kernel specially if you aint using X [10:05] i have ubuntu installed in my laptop...

[10:08] If anything like that happens, I go ahead and completely reinstall the boot configuration file for me... [10:08] Dr_Willis, I might not but the system will sure respond smoother i guess, still will kep this for now and explore the issue later when ive got more time. I want it running as soon as possible [10:08] sblunix: how do you understand that it's cause is GRUB [10:08] Lama_chok: ya, IK :P [10:08] Pirate_Hunter: im not even sure it will respond smoother. [10:08] mostafa: because GRUB handles starting up and shutting down. (Or so I believe, I may be wrong) [10:08] mostafa, what kind of muslim name is that [10:08] Pirate_Hunter: last i checked the server kernel had some extra memory support fetures for sich as more then 4gb ram on a 32bit machine and some other things. [10:08] Dr_Willis: a simple shell script, for the instalation of xnview, i can't get it working, it apears "run with wine" instead of the default command to run scripts [10:09] Are you a muslim, mostafa? [10:09] Bearshare: Does that have anything to do with the topic at hand? [10:09] gome: run it from a terminal, or chakjge its default applicaion perhaps. [10:09] well wanna make sure nothing screws up the GRUB... otherwise i will have a hard time [10:10] Dr_Willis, ok thanks will stick with what ive got for now [10:10] I hate stinky Muslim n****rs [10:10] Bearshare: Does it have any difference between the religion of people in this room?

[10:21] GreenDelta2: probably better if you ask in the wxwidgets channel, we won't be able to help you much here [10:21] mostafa: no problem, and ignore that Bearshare Guy, he's already been banned from three other rooms for abuse and innapropriate comments, ubuntu is all about a circle of friends and wide support network, everyone's welcome [10:21] there are lot of messages [10:21] Dr_Willis: inside the *.tar.gz is the program [10:21] !pastebin | rek put them here [10:21] rek put them here: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[10:54] igsen: reinstalling for things is windows thinking.. [10:55] Mart||n, there is no more alsa conf [10:55] Dr_Willis :D [10:55] igsen: but you could try sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop i guess. [10:55] Kharn: check log : * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output. [10:55] make [10:55] oh thought it was in the tools package [10:55] that not natively enable in the apt update [10:55] [Ubuntu 9.04] Synaptic lists a package name entry 'gnome-keyring-manager' but without any additional information (such as a description).

[10:59] Kharn: *taking [10:59] kbp: not that i can see ... nothing at all\ [10:59] the brign the net connection up [10:59] or what is it using the defualt eth0 net connect fora bind port [10:59] or something [10:59] maybe u running a local vpn aswell [10:59] nope, its online atm .. [10:59] adn teh gateway not right or something when the dhcp client checks for ip [10:59] Dr_Willis, I mean I can log on to gnome fail safe mode but I cant go back to xubuntu's xfce4 session. [11:00] dunno not my problem for advance tech [11:00] static ip ... :D [11:00] thats ur prob [11:00] ifcpnfig up [11:00] ...

[11:01] kbp no output [11:02] its also running a vnc server, ssh server, ftp server ... === root is now known as Guest37652 === xan_ is now known as ce [11:04] Kharn: is any other service working well? (i.e. ftp, ssh etc.?) because the last line says: could not create ANY TCP/IP sockets [11:04] yep, i am ssh'd into it atm, i can vnc no probs and ftp is working fine ... [11:05] i'm physically right next to it .. so same ip range etc.. [11:05] not that it matters, as i am only trying to run it on itself at this stage [11:06] Kharn: ip range stuff doesnt get involve here because as I can see it uses "localhost" [11:07] yup [11:07] Kharn: it can run itself without any internet/lan connection [11:07] no it won't run at all ... [11:07] Kharn: how about /etc/init.d/sumthing retart it?

What is the reason? [11:08] hi [11:09] QWERTY [11:10] hai [11:10] kbp .. somehow u gave me an idea then .. (who knows how my mind works) ... but i have it fixed ... [11:11] Kharn: even if you turn off SSL, it still gives that SSL root.crt error? (I'm thinking that because SSL stuff makes the socket doesnt work properly (!??) - I dunno what im talking about anyway) [11:11] the solution ... i edit /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf and changed the line "#listen_addresses = 'localhost'" to "listen_address = '*' ... and magically it started [11:11] * neil_d oops [11:11] Kharn: it should be 127.0.0.1, dont use * :) for security reason [11:12] yeh .. prolly a smart idea :P [11:12] Or ::1 ! [11:12] But wait! im using 127.0.0.1! you cant use my ip! [11:12] :) [11:12] lol! [11:13] Dr_Willis: who stolen my ip? [11:13] heres an interesting one for u tho ... i cant ping 127.0.0.1 or its external ip from that box, but i can ping its external ip from this one... [11:13] 'want a fast quake server with low ping! join 127.0.0.1 !' [11:13] :) [11:13] later: "I Joined that server.. MY ping was great! but no one else was there!" [11:14] can some one teach me to remote desktop [11:14] Hi, I'm doing a dual-boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu and I was wondering, do I make a /boot partition or not? I'm installing Ubuntu on the second hdd btw..."/dev/sdb" [11:14] sorry if it's a dumb Q...this is the first time I'm doing a true dual-boot [11:14] It would be a great honour [11:14] Ti-dev: a boot partition is optional. [11:15] Ti-dev: I myself just created an / and a swap partition. [11:15] oh? okay [11:15] Ti-dev: if the while 2nd hd is going to be for ubuntu. the installer can partition as needed. [11:15] how would i go about checking what file system is being used on say a USB Stick (what has it been formatted as) ? [11:15] Ti-dev: Actually, if you install Ubuntu _after_ Windows, it can do everything automatically (including resizing) [11:15] i normally use / /home and swap. [11:15] Ti-dev: i use /home separate. nothing else. [11:15] can some one teach me to do remotedeskto [11:15] remote desktop* [11:15] dragonrigs ... this is the guide i used : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 [11:15] Kharn: a hacker asked a man: "Give me your IP. I will hack you using my tool". The man replied: "127.0.0.1". The hacker says: "Haha you're dead now! I'm formatting your hdd" [11:15] jedimind: Is it mounted? If yes, the output of 'mount' might have the FS. [11:15] dragonrigs: give details... local lan? or over internet? what OS's ? [11:16] jedimind: If it isn't, 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdX' -- but that isn't very clear on the filesystem type. [11:16] I want to do a manual partitioning as I usually do see? [11:16] kk [11:16] I got it [11:16] dragonrigs, try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n33yl1jAqgQ [11:16] i want to connect to my networks [11:16] kbp :P [11:16] Ti-dev: i tend to use all primary partitions also. [11:16] I usually create a /boot partition for linux so you refer to the /boot dir created within /root [11:16] Ti-dev: go for it then. [11:17] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the support :D [11:17] Dr_Willis: I'm an old Ubuntu cheif and now I'm on Arch...this is for my sis' actually hehe [11:17] later! [11:17] grawity: thanks that helped, how would i format a usb stick to say fat32 ? [11:18] Hello, people. I have a HP Pavillion dv9700, and it seems the graphics card is shot. It doesn't work in Ubuntu or Vista, and enabling Safe Graphics Mode in Ubuntnu works good. But not good enough. The resolution is only 800x600. Is there something I can do? [11:18] jedimind: mkfs.vfat /dev/devicename [11:18] jedimind: I recommend gparted, a graphical interface -- but mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 will work too. [11:18] jedimind: I myself use NTFS for USB sticks though. [11:18] is vfat = fat32 ? [11:18] jedimind: Most of the time, yes. [11:18] jedimind: fat16 is usually called 'msdos', AFAIK. [11:19] ok how bout this - i have a usb stick and it seems to have a limitation on how many files can be placed in a single folder [11:19] fat12 :) [11:19] Dr_Willis: That one is for floppies? [11:19] and i was thinking it might be the way its formatted [11:19] grawity: i think so.. or was that fat8 [11:19] but fat32 shouldn't have any such realistic limitations and it shows as vfat [11:19] it craps out after 120 or so files [11:20] anyone know what might be causing that ? === ortsvorsteher_ is now known as ortsvorsteher [11:20] * grawity shrugs [11:20] craps out? [11:21] Dr_Willis: just says 'drive is full" when it clearly isnt [11:21] say i try to copy ~600 mp3s onto this 2gig usb stick, after 600 megs or so it says "drive is full" [11:21] jedimind: too much porn. [11:21] :) [11:21] but i can copy 2gigs worth of say divx onto it no problem (since thats only 3-4 files) [11:21] jedimind: try making a sub dir? [11:21] I suggest mkfs.ntfs [11:21] and if i segment those 600 into sub dirs then it works just fine [11:22] but thats not what i want [11:22] no really, this is quite strange.... i cant ping myself locally ... however i can ping myself from a remote system ... any ideas !? [11:22] thats weird. [11:22] Dr_Willis: yeah, fat32 should have no such problem [11:22] just make a single subdir.. put them all in it.. whats it do? [11:22] Dr_Willis: also says drive full iirc, let me try again [11:22] Kharn i bet you can ping me =P [11:22] myself ..... LOL!

[11:27] how can I find out why my kernel just paniced? [11:27] dragonrigs: vnc is for one thing.. samba is for sotmhing totally diffrent. [11:27] kbp: cuz of letters. :) [11:27] kbp, i know the letters. :) you dont know how to write kyrillic? ;) [11:27] kbp: It looks like Russian, that's why. [11:27] dragonrigs: shareing 'directories/files' = samba [11:27] kbp: because other slawic languages dont write kyrillic afaik [11:27] dragonrigs: remote desktop access = vnc or freenx [11:27] kbp, visit moscow, you will have a amazing trip ;) [11:27] sash_: I think Ukrainian uses Cyrillic letters [11:28] sash_: most dont. :P [11:28] I thought about Ukraine first when I see those letters [11:28] DR_Willis: my windows machien has Ad-hoc enabled incase you dont know Ad-hoc will enable the same ip on both computers im using that wireless connection right now [11:28] oh, didnt know this. ok, so russia and ukraine ;) [11:28] hi, my up and down keys suddenly stopped working... how can I query the key to see if the right action is assigned to the key= [11:29] and serbia sash_ ;) also in some parts of bosnia ... and so on :D [11:29] If I want to make 100% sure I will be able to remove a .deb package again what can I do?

[11:30] diddy: dpkg -i package.deb to install, dpkg -r package to remove. [11:30] kbp, I want to install a .deb package that is not in the repositories but I don't know the author. [11:31] I have the sound on my computer going :) but the microphone wont work... I am using the latest ubuntu. can anyone help? [11:31] alien [11:31] DR_Willis: my windows machien has Ad-hoc enabled incase you dont know Ad-hoc will enable the same ip on both computers im using that wireless connection right now [11:31] dragonrigs: err... they dont have the same 'ip' that dosetn make sence. [11:31] grawity, kbp it could be malware. [11:31] they should each still have their own ip [11:31] no [11:32] Hey, can anyone tell me which graphics cards (any) work on the HP Pavillion dv9700? [11:32] diddy: And? [11:32] ok just ifconfgi wlan1 ipnumber for the machine u using that snot on net [11:32] ive checked http://www.whatismyip.com/ on both of them [11:32] eboyjr: when in doubt - stick with nvidia cards. [11:32] grawity, will dpkg keep track of where all files go? [11:32] eboyjr: did you searched whitelist and blacklist? [11:32] diddy: ... my habbit is I keep double click on deb files downloaded from net and not really care about malware... I need to think about it again - I guess... [11:32] dragonrigs: they are going thriough a router? that site would show the routers ip. [11:32] diddy: It always does. [11:32] diddy: Just out of curiosity, what program is in that pacakge? [11:33] Dr_Willis: The graphics card is shot.. vesa works, but the resolution is 800x600 (too small) Maybe there was something I could do [11:33] ortsvorsteher: ^ [11:33] dragonrigs: all 8 of my machines here show the same ip at those kind of sites. I think. :) [11:33] grawity, I am not talking about a particular package. I mean in general. [11:33] but then again - i dont use wireless or adhoc stuff. [11:33] soooooo [11:33] dragonrigs: so.. what does this have to do with samba or vnc? [11:33] can some one try to remote me [11:33] grawity, for many programs there are no ubuntu packages. How risky is it to install it into the system? [11:34] dragonrigs, please dont ask that here [11:34] diddy: what you mean how risky? [11:34] diddy: Depends on whether you trust the author. Usually it isn't risky. [11:34] dragonrigs: type ifconfig and copy & paste it to pastebin.com then give me the link [11:34] as safe as it is for that distro with same conf sturcuture [11:34] Can some one remote my computer [11:34] ok [11:34] or recommendation from a ligete souce [11:34] grawity, on Windows it is extremely difficult to remove the program 100% as it is installed all over the place (registry, folders everywhere, autostart, etc). [11:34] diddy: Also, it depends on whether it's available in source form or not, etc. [11:34] i've Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000 , Should i install EasyCam to test it, i've used Cheese , but it didnt detect it, however, it shows when i do "lsusb" command, Shud i install EasyCam to test it, or anything else, Please help me, i want to make this cam work ;) and that this is a popular cam too :), so there must not be a lot of hassle in it. [11:35] dragonrigs, you dont want strangers remoting your computer [11:35] paste.ubuntu.com [11:35] dragonrigs: I will, but I need your IP, your SS number and your bank account details. [11:35] diddy: Windows is a completely different OS. It has no way of package management - except Windows Installer, which was a great idea but didn't really work... [11:35] dragonrigs: vnc is normally NOT used over the 'internet' with out ssh tunnling. [11:35] diddy: So in Windows, programs _themselves_ (or rather, specialized installer programs) take care of both installing AND removing. [11:35] bazhang: my yp-p3 is not recogmized [11:35] bazhang: im not trying to remote his pc :) [11:35] grawity, so packages that are installed with dpkg -i will be removed with dpkg -r without leaving junk anywhere? [11:35] Windows Installer isn't a package manager. [11:35] grawity: of course it worked.. it spawned 1000+ different types of installers for people to use! :P [11:36] rek, what is that [11:36] mp3 playa [11:36] kronix: It isn't - but it _is_ kind of similar to, for example, .deb packages. [11:36] Windows Installer is an installation platform. [11:36] diddy: dpkg -r will remove what dpkg -i installed. [11:36] diddy: Not more. [11:37] rek, be patient I will do a websearch [11:37] ok bazhang [11:37] Windows has one great weakness: no packet manager. [11:37] y up- and my down-key stopped working this morning. :( I was wondering if I could reassign them with xmodmap or something, but I can't find out how to query the keycode of the keys.

(command being vbetool dpms on; chvt 1; chvt 7) [11:39] or express clit [11:39] how big is teh decvie [11:39] kronix: what's your real problem ? we wil try to solve that. [11:39] kronix, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:39] u wanted my ifconfig [11:39] dragonrigs, stop that [11:39] dragonrigs: i did? why? it shows you got wireless working with an ip# - so...... whats the problem? [11:40] bazhang: what did i do [11:40] GPL, I'd like them to combine Windows Update, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Features etc. into one package manager. Can you help me with that? [11:40] dragonrigs: please describe your question again (you want to connect from Ubuntu to Windows on adhoc right?) [11:40] did i get a prob fixed [11:40] my other computer uses the same ip [11:40] kronix : yeah, ask that in ##windows , surely they will [11:40] kronix, that is offtopic here. please take it elsewhere [11:40] I want your help, GPL. [11:40] hello, I have a small question. I have some free space on partition /dev/sda2 and I'd like to add that space to my main partition, /dev/sda1, but GParted doesn't allow it. What should I do? [11:40] dragonrigs: that dozent make sence.. how are you going to 'ping' it then? or ssh to it.. or anything to it. [11:40] kronix: dont do this my bro ull get kicked just as i did [11:41] I've now got a portable WD hard drive with Ubuntu and Kubuntu 9.04 installed on 2 partitions but when it's plugged in the GRUB loader doesn't come up? I don't want to install it to the internal hard drives MBR as others use the pc who would be freaked out by it so want to be able to have it so GRUB loads of the drive - Can anyone say how please? [11:41] ok [11:41] lemmy [11:41] ill give it a try [11:41] hello, grub is giving me "Error 21" after installing 9.04, i have tried to search the web, but everybody is having slightly different problems. i think mine is due to the fact that i have IDE hard drives connected to motherboard, then i have SATA/IDE card which has two more IDE harddrives and SATA one, the grub is intalled onto the drive connected directly to motherboard, but Ubuntu is on SATA one [11:41] ok load up ur fav distro [11:41] e.g teh one u want to fix [11:41] Dr_Willis: can u vnc me [11:41] and re runthe grub updater [11:41] or installer [11:41] to anyone having video problems with intel graph cards, try ubuntu 9.10 , it rocks :) [11:41] kronix : bro. i am sorry, but i feel , i cant. i am now a Ubuntu-person. [11:42] :( [11:42] or just reinstall grub after mount ur root partition [11:42] or so forth [11:42] !error21 [11:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about error21 [11:42] !grub [11:42] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[11:43] oh ok [11:44] it not reachable from here unless its a ip6 [11:44] 192.168.0.* is what.. a class c? i forget the terms... [11:44] type new ipv4 on top of it maybe [11:44] lol kddding [11:44] no it not [11:44] Dr_Willis: if he's behind a router, and a router doesnt open anything, sure you cannot connect to him even you know his ip address [11:44] Dr_Willis: Nobody cares anymore about classes. It's just 192.168.0.0/24 now. [11:44] hi friends. how can i open a playlist section and drop there the files i want to listen to in rhythmbox? [11:44] it means that it attach it self to a lan or trying to attach something [11:44] <|pez|> I need to check if a package is installed or not, how would I do that in commandline? [11:44] but not attach and command ifconfig ip just been added u wil [11:45] |pez|: dpkg -l packagename [11:45] and the 'ad hoc' docs i say here say the thing does use some sort of dhcp server... so the question is..

[11:45] <|pez|> right, thanks Granis [11:45] <|pez|> uh [11:45] <|pez|> grawity [11:45] <|pez|> tab completion ftl. ;P [11:45] grawity: but im old-skool! :) [11:45] Dr_Willis: Both DHCP and zeroconf allow automatic address assignment. [11:45] no they have non [11:45] doc yes [11:45] they do [11:46] they need to have it set up in some whay to have ips on both sides else teh ip arrange could possibly be different all the time [11:46] grawity: so 4 machines on an ad-hoc network would each have their own differnt ip.?

[11:47] yes [11:47] arooni [11:47] dragonrigs, why did you do that [11:47] Does anyone know how to install GRUB to a portable drive that will make it bootable from multiple pcs? [11:47] arooni spaming on my pm [11:47] Dr_Willis: I'm not sure how do they configure IP addresses... if zeroconf (avahi-autoipd) is used, they will get an address from the 169.254.0.0/16 range. (If they haven't had one yet, they will choose one randomly.) [11:47] Dr_Willis: this says yes, the ad hoc network still uses a normal ip address scheme....http://en.kioskea.net/contents/configuration-reseau/configurer-routeur-wifi.php3 [11:48] Horusofoz: you would need the grub files on the portable drive, (wth a suitable fileysstem) then use the proper grub command to install it to the portable drive. [11:48] dragonrigs: oh you need to know about IRC, visit www.irchelp.org, and from now , use /ignore nickname. [11:48] Horusofoz: if you install system on usb, doesn't it give you option to install grub there? [11:48] Dr_Willis: Those 169.254.0.0/16 addresses are the "link-local" range, and so they are non-routable. [11:48] oh [11:48] ok [11:49] Dr_Willis: Does the tutorial mention dnsmasq? It has a mini DHCP server. [11:49] grawity: so those are reserved ip addresses that all ad-hoc networks will use? the wont use the 192.168.*.* range? [11:49] [Ubuntu 9.04] Synaptic lists a package name entry 'gnome-keyring-manager' but without any additional information (such as a description). What is the reason? [11:49] Dr_Willis: I installed Grub to the portable drive I'm pretty sure but it does not load when pc started with it plugged in [11:49] bubu1uk: Not sure it's a portable hard drive [11:49] Dr_Willis: I have no idea. [11:49] who is that [11:50] Horusofoz: did you setup in bios to boot from usb? not hdd or cdrom [11:50] Horusofoz: you have to tell the pc to boot from the hard drive AND when booting from teh HD. the 'hd#,#' of the usb drive may become hd0,0 (or it might not) this is ofte an issue with usb drives.. When you installed grub., it was very likely hd1,1 or some other hd#,# [11:50] if he see teh 2 error [11:50] then it is bootting something [11:50] Dr_Willis: the 169.254 addresses are used momentarily as the computers work out ip addressing. I believe the ad hoc network will still use 192.168 addresses for normal operation once set up [11:50] Horusofoz: whatever device boots (on this box) becomes hd0,0 I oftenhave to tweak grub if i 'repair' it from a rescue cd/flashdrive [11:50] quit [11:50] or not booting something that is supose to be there ..as it booted teh hard part fo [11:50] it [11:50] Mart||n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:50] Horusofoz: and also what Dr_Willis said. :) [11:51] th0r: Ok. :) we tried to figure out ad-hoc the other day at work.. and never did get it going.. figured id read up on it. [11:51] There are three items for USB but none of them seem to work :( [11:51] Dr_Willis: that link I sent has a fair writeup on it [11:52] th0r: saving lots of things to my flash drive to read/print at work. :) [11:52] Mart||n: told ya before, u need to put the name of person you wanna talk to in your chat [11:52] Dr_Willis: Not sure I understand what you said [11:53] adhoc uses anything in the local ip range available else it uses non ip unless forced to do so by default or user conf [11:53] Horusofoz: the drive that gets 'booted' becomes hd0,0 (in grub terms) normally. this can cause issues. [11:53] Horusofoz: menu.lst in /grub. [11:53] K how do I remedy this? [11:53] e.g u connect ot windows ad hoc and dhcp enable naturalll then u will get a 192 ip and possible internet [11:53] Horusofoz: he means you should edit grub on your USB to hd0,0 [11:53] unless u have no ics on that side [11:53] else u will jsut get ip and not a gatway [11:54] so u can ping if it on there side or not [11:54] Horusofoz: if you were to use the live cd.. and plug in a usb drive.. and install to the usb drive.. at the TIME of the install the usb drive would be hd1, not hd0. this makes teh grub menu.lst the isntaller generates wrong for when the system boots that hard drive. [11:54] OK so should I reboot into live cd and try then? [11:54] or the router if u on the windows network [11:54] see what the grub menu.lst says on the drive. and whats its tryign to do exactly [11:54] not nessacily [11:54] it might be hd2 [11:54] for some pc systems unless laptop [11:54] Mart||n, dont use enter as punctuation [11:54] or two raid devices [11:54] Its a desktop pc with XP on internal drive [11:55] e.g usb raid [11:55] i dont [11:55] You can edit the grub 'boot lines' via the menus and see what it says.. if it says hd1, you may need to change it to hd0 [11:55] i use my lil finger for enter and no punctation around my lil finger area [11:55] apart from shift [11:55] or semicoon [11:55] Horusofoz: you may want to clarify the exact problem also.. ive frogotten what it was. :) [11:55] Mart||n, please stop [11:55] u stop [11:55] filling screen with pink [11:56] !lol@ Mart||n [11:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about lol@ Mart [11:56] !!lol [11:56] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[11:57] Julia you should be able to select that in regional settings. I know you can with KDE, it should be possible with gnome as well [11:57] neil_d: Please don't repeat your question - especially not every half minute... [11:57] neil_d: That will just make people ignore you. [11:57] Julia: I think I've got it setup like that.. there are separate settings for dates, times, currency and so on [11:58] kaddi, thx, but I can't find it in Gnome [11:58] bottom right [11:58] Slart, where?

[12:10] Hi there, maybe the answer is quite obvious but I was wondering... having ubuntu installed next to windows is a good idea or not? atm I'm using only ubuntu but there are some other app I'm use to that its by far better on windows and eventually I'd like to be able to use them. In the other hand I really like ubuntu and I wish to keep using it very frequently, therefore I wish to know if there's any difference in any matter betwen having ubu [12:10] grawity: connection problems, I wasn't sure it had gotten though. [12:10] kbp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat_operator [12:10] Slart: oh I got it :) thanx [12:10] Brazz, sure, many people dual boot [12:11] bazhang: is there any difference? betwen dual boot and only ubuntu and will this dual boot somehow affect the system performance? [12:11] Brazz, shouldnt no [12:11] bazhang: Thank you very much [12:12] Brazz, install windows first though is much easier [12:12] Brazz: I dual boot windows with ubuntu.. it doesn't affect either system negatively.. well.. if you don't consider the disk space that is.. [12:12] Brazz, you could aslo use a virtual machine to run windows inside of ubuntu. [12:12] oldude67: are you talking about wine? [12:12] helo [12:12] Brazz, no more like virtual box vmware [12:12] ami heard [12:12] I am having a lot of trouble getting a microphone to work. can someone please help me debug this? [12:12] !vm [12:12] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications === Hax4or_mu2ic is now known as Hax4or-Mu2ic [12:13] hellooooooo [12:13] helo [12:13] hi all [12:13] bazhang : any progress of my webcam problem.

I think you upload the patch at the same place [12:15] user101: you used some other bzip2 setting? [12:15] bazhang: atm I'm only using ubuntu, if I want to install windows will there be an option to do dual boot? or should I install windows only and then install ubuntu as second option? [12:15] Slart: and then? Is that all.. or have I do something? [12:15] Brazz, then you will need to restore grub, let me get you a link [12:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub Brazz [12:15] DerGraf: I'm not sure what happens after that... I'm guessing the developer of the package with the bug should answer you in the bug report [12:16] Brazz: The usual practice is install Windows first then Ubuntu === Laibsch1 is now known as Laibsch [12:16] I have a weird question related to alacarte.

[12:16] Brazz: and then Ubuntu Server [12:16] kaddi: alacarte [12:16] DerGraf: you should file the bug upstream also [12:17] odder: click the shortcut in the editor, properties.. change the name there?

I am saving that link tho, I'll check it out now. Thank you very much [12:17] Brazz, good luck :) [12:17] Brazz: make sure to install windows to the first partition if you can [12:18] odder: I had to reload the menu page.. by clicking on another sub menu and then back.. then the change showed [12:18] Slart: I used only this bzip2 -z a.tar [12:18] Brazz: good luck too. [12:18] user101: there's probably some kind of compression setting.. there's nothing in man bzip2? [12:18] danbhfive: you mean in the "overview" section of the packet? [12:19] Still trying to get GRUB/Ubuntu to boot from usb :( Any suggestions [12:19] danbhfive: will do, thank you. [12:19] user101: try bzip2 -z -9 a.tar -1 is fastest but less compression -9 is best compression but takes more time [12:19] DerGraf: did you file the bug on launchpad? Can you post the link?

But there's 64 bit CPU's too, so i'm not sure if 64 bit filesystems are the same as 64 bit cpus [12:36] I know that the Nvidia drivers for Linux dont support, and never will support hybrid SLI. But there must be possible to manually specify that the dedicated GPU is deactivated [12:36] I dont care much for the ability to hotswap between the two modes as I dont need the 9400m active in Linux, and I can hotswap in Windows when I need to.. [12:36] so I just wondered how I can blacklist the 9400m GPU in Ubuntu 9.04 [12:37] danbhfive: Thank you for explaining.

[12:38] atm i'm setting up two htpcs. one is based on gentoo the other one on ubuntu. everything runs fine so far. now i'm at a point where i'd like to streamline the appereance of both systems regarding the bootprocess. well obviously there are some differences. one problem i'm trying to get rid of at the gentoo system is the following, where i'm asking myself how ubuntu achieves that. at the point when x starts up the xcursor appears for about a sec [12:38] My /dev/null seems to be recreated at each boot, with faulty permissions. So I'm getting error messages about not having permission to it and so bashrc, among other things, fails. [12:38] My solution is to do what is said in http://is.gd/2i2Oo and that works great.

[13:35] can anyone suggest a good alternative to pidgin that works in cli/tty i am looking for protocols like msn, aim, facebook & google (optional) [13:35] rapha: Just ask in #freenode :) [13:35] or the unified version of installing [13:35] Bluey_, which chipset check lspci or lsusb (depending if it is pci or usb) [13:35] Euroman__: there is no problem... you just need to properly set the drive up. That requires making a mount point, change ownership to it, and add a line in /etc/fstab [13:35] as it did for me with no probs [13:35] can anyone help me set up a wireless ad-hoc network between 2 ubuntu machines using network manager? I tried following this guide, but no success: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless?highlight=(ad-hoc) [13:35] Pirate_Hunter: Finch supports everything Pidgin does. [13:35] there isnt [13:35] the ip/username/password are good I connected from xp machine [13:36] Does anyone have an idea why my flash plugin eats 50% CPU-Time? (Jaunty) [13:36] u set up static ip on both [13:36] and have same adhoc name [13:36] Pirate_Hunter: It even uses the same backend. Also, by the way, the "google" protocol is actually called XMPP (previously Jabber) [13:36] stefg thank you very much [13:36] and then see if u can ping each machine [13:36] if so u have a connection [13:36] ikanobori the ip/username/password are good I connected from xp machine [13:36] if not stick one in ap mode [13:36] Q|: because it's doing cpu-intensive processing [13:36] !enter [13:36] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:36] Euroman__: but there is no use in doing that before the drives are in proper order [13:36] grawity, oooh thanks and it is meant for cli/tty no gui at all? how user friendly is it? [13:36] and then use one wireless to connect to he other like a dsl wireless connection [13:36] cutout: That says nothing about you typing them in correctly again, but let's assume you did ;-) [13:36] lol [13:36] simplexio thanks willl try [13:37] Boohbah: But it did not behave like that with Hardy [13:37] ikanobori eill Idid [13:37] cutout: Are the encryption settings allright? [13:37] hehe Mart||n ... thanks I'll have a look [13:37] Pirate_Hunter: Finch is the tty version of Pidgin, yes. (I have never used it though.) [13:37] hmmm [13:37] try with out encyption [13:37] first [13:37] Pirate_Hunter: If you do not like Finch, you can try CenterIM too. [13:37] ikanobori what kind of encryption should I use [13:37] stefg i will see if i cant get that done today i cant easy get my computer out from where it is sitting [13:37] nps [13:37] cutout: Depends on the VPN you are connecting to. [13:37] Pirate_Hunter: And there's also Bitlbee, which makes everything look like IRC [13:37] why u need to get comp out [13:37] whats prob [13:37] Hello everyone [13:37] ikanobori in windows nothing is specified [13:37] guys, how do i open my Repositories? [13:38] please say my name if u want me to see it [13:38] stefg but i will do it first thing [13:38] Euroman__: how did the big drive get in ? [13:38] bazhang, intel corp wireless wifi link 5100 [13:38] boot to live distro [13:38] wel when i build the computer recent [13:38] haf1z: what does it mean to "open repositories"? What are you trying to do? [13:38] cfdisk /dev/sdb [13:38] cutout: Are you connecting to a windows vpn? [13:38] Bluey_, do you see drivers for it in hardware drivers [13:38] adn that maybe correct without chagne the drive letter frist [13:38] well device name [13:38] ikanobori yes [13:38] grawity, will have a look at both of them, in your opinion how easy it is to use them or do i need to mess with lots of config files? [13:38] e.g /dev/sda /dev/sdb [13:38] /dev/sdd [13:39] unles it ide [13:39] old style [13:39] jrib: ok.i found it. thx [13:39] then u would use /dev/hda [13:39] Mart||n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:39] stefg here it is my blog http://tnoergaard.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/new-computer-build/ [13:39] bazhang, it was working perfecly yesterday. do u want to see the log from when it got disabled? i think the drivers are installed since it was working yesterday [13:39] cutout: And you have set the correct $SERVER, $DOMAIN? Have you tried with and without encryption? [13:39] ALL: Can anyone help me ! I am using Intrepid and looking for php plugins for eclipse [13:39] maybe u need to mkfs.ext3 the drive [13:39] cos u havec 2 linux system u want [13:39] stefg i been building like 5 new systems recently [13:39] Pirate_Hunter: Messing with configs shouldn't be needed. Actually, if you already use Pidgin, then Finch will use the same configs. [13:39] Bluey_, is the wifi spot open or encrypted [13:39] its open [13:40] ikanobori what domain but I'll try with and without encryption now [13:40] cutout: The network domain the VPN uses. [13:40] Bluey_, what does sudo dhclient wlan0 return (paste.ubuntu.com with results) [13:40] bazhang, i m using this comp from the same network in a hotel [13:40] Probably, your company. [13:40] grawity: how can i stop displaying offline friends in empathy ? [13:40] ikanobori is it an IP [13:40] if he is dhcped === honeycomb is now known as Guidbuntu [13:41] then he could test with just a ping [13:41] of other vpn ip [13:41] Euroman__: i see ... as a word of advice: instead of spending money on blue case light, i'd rather buy a second 1,5 TB drive and do a raid 1 ... [13:41] xchat went splat again [13:41] how can i stop displaying offline friends in empathy ? [13:41] e.g see if dhcp worked [13:41] or not [13:41] ircfine: There should be an option in the menus...I don't have empathy at the moment, so you'll need to find it yourself. [13:41] and wether it is needed for his problem [13:41] Mart||n: He can't even set up the PPTP tunnel. [13:41] Mart||n, dont use enter as punctuation [13:41] grawity, not on the box i just configured and i really wish not to install X on it, well will search for instruction on it [13:41] stefg ha ha i dont really spend much on that came with my sniper case [13:41] second time this has happened [13:41] lol [13:41] cutout: Let me put it this way, PPTP tunneling (VPN), works, if your settings are correct. [13:41] It won't magically *not* work. [13:42] Pirate_Hunter: Copying existing Pidgin conf works too. Finch and CenterIM are both quite easy though. [13:42] turned off the plugins [13:42] grawity: view offline contact > view but it is unchecked , still the offline friends are in display . should i check this ? [13:42] stefg if u read review on that coolermaster case should be the top of the line [13:42] ow... [13:42] Hello everyone [13:42] ircfine: Try toggling it... maybe they are online actually :\ [13:42] join # [13:43] stefg i was thinking about raid [13:43] Euroman__: and after you have the big drive set up you should think about a smarter partitioning scheme for the actual system on th 160 GB drive. having /boot and /home separate has some advantages [13:43] grawity: i checked the offline contacts , nothing happens [13:43] ues [13:43] stefg ok i will keep that in mind [13:44] like firmware type shadow [13:44] stefg so when u do install you jsut do your own partitioning [13:44] bazhang: settigs system pc connection UMS tick it in the player and u r set :-) [13:44] Hello everyone. I have a weird sound issue that recently occured. Is it the right place to look for help ? [13:44] Euroman__: my experience says that it's always hard to backup large drives. so the least you can do is buying a life insurance for your data against hd-failure by doing a mirror raid [13:44] stefg see what i did was just let grub handle it [13:45] Euroman__: but you installed before the big disk went in, right? [13:45] stefg you are totaly right i can only agree with u [13:45] stefg yes thats what i did [13:45] to back up a drive with some decent backup ooption ...cos u reworte some configs or maybe delete 200 gb [13:45] bazhang i have som trouble creating a sheared folder [13:45] grawity, ok just installed reading man pages might just copy my current pidgin conf on my main comp thank you [13:45] must configure samba [13:45] i was just looking at building nice system with smaller drive for my os [13:45] u could par the whole patiotin every nite in to bout 100gb pars [13:46] Pirate_Hunter: That should work.

AMD64 [13:55] I've got eth0 and wlan0 connected. eth0 used to be set to a router which had an internet connection, but that is now instead wlan0, but I can't access the net without disconnecting eth0.

(Both are a 192.168.0.x LAN with 192.168.0.1 as routers) [13:55] Meccano: isn't there an "audio" group the user has to be included in? or that was in some earlier version of ubuntu [13:55] Slart: protocol=MSN , xxxx@hotmail.com , password=xxxxx , [13:55] why would u want both [13:56] guys, do you think there;s a problem with my ubuntu http://imagebin.org/59709 [13:56] for example [13:56] abdo: the "Advanced" tab [13:56] !who | Mart||n [13:56] hello.

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 :) [13:56] Hi Slart. Sound worked fine everywhere and suddenly no sound in one account.... weird [13:56] IdleOne yup. I got the wrong ubottu reference is all :/ [13:56] sorry why would u want lan and wlan on the same router [13:56] I am using Ubunut 64-bit 9.0.4, btw.

[13:59] Meccano: properties for the user.. check the tab "User privileges".. there should be a "Use audio devices".. try checking that box and see if sound starts working [13:59] stefg saying i am not the owner [13:59] do sudo mnt [13:59] then [13:59] hafiz, that is the login for freenode webchat, I believe you need to enter a nickname and a #channel then click login [13:59] Meccano: afaik that is the same thing as making sure the user is in the "audio" group [13:59] stefg when i did partition with gparted i did it with partmaigc disk [13:59] Slart: I can't find where is the problem [13:59] err click connect that is === iwan_ is now known as CE_Cri [14:00] abdo: neither can I... it seems we have the same settings.. can you login to your hotmail account to make sure it still exists? [14:00] yes [14:00] IdleOne: yes, but doesnt it look weird. it suppose to be like that rite. [14:00] Mart||n: I normally have an ADSL modem connected to the router on eth0, but my ISP has messed it up so I can't get an IP. I'm temporarily using my laptop as a router since it has a 3G modem. The rest of the computers are still on eth0 as they don't need net access. I could also use eth0 and eth1 instead of wlan0 on my regular comp of course, but I figured it shouldn't make much of a... [14:00] ...difference and I like being able to move my laptop. [14:00] Slart: I did [14:00] IdleOne: yes, but doesnt it look weird. it not suppose to be like that rite. [14:00] Euroman__: ok, so run sudo chown [username] /media/bigdisk && sudo chmod 775 /media/bigdisk [14:00] hafiz, looks like you need to change your locales or install a language pack. I am not sure [14:01] !locales | hafiz [14:01] hafiz: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [14:01] oh right access teh manual for router to change ur mac adress for the wireless [14:01] stefg you are the man i owe you let me do this [14:01] in the main setup router page [14:01] IdleOne: i have this one after i connected to the chatroom http://imagebin.org/59710 [14:02] Mart||n: why would I need to change the MAC? [14:02] grawity how do you copy the whole thing as bootable? I keep getting files, but no boot. I'll rtfm if I can find a manual to read.

I was away for two weeks and when I got back and turned everything on, the modem setup pages just said "connected" but no ip. [14:06] grawity, how do i enable facebook chat or what is the protocol for it? [14:06] or use docs suggest it does with they topic they do [14:06] then u will never get a net connect til thats fix [14:06] Pirate_Hunter: The only way I can think of, is to install the Pidgin Facebook plugin. [14:06] Slart: alsos i though about MSN certificate [14:07] u mac addy of wlsan [14:07] i installed LAMP successfully , and extracted phpMyAdmin into my /var/www folder, but visiting http://localhost/phpMyAdmin gives me 404 error [14:07] abdo: it uses certificates?

[14:08] No change slart [14:08] grawity: ahh.. didn't know that.. I suppose pidgin handles that by itself... at least I've never had to mess with it [14:08] Slart: It usually does [14:09] lol so thats what it uses [14:09] u fk off [14:09] Denied. [14:09] staic words in sentence fo begging [14:09] Mart||n: The wlan works fine, it's a peer to peer network between my laptop and my regular comp where the laptop share's its internet connection. I just want to know how to tell Ubuntu to use that interface when I try to access an external ip, instead of eth0. [14:09] Checked the groups. No audio group.... should I create it and add users ? Thing that puzzles me is that I don't have sound on login screen but sound in one account when everything was OK......

[14:11] how do i change the user of a file [14:11] grawity, what is it called because i just did a search on hardy and prism-facebook is all that came up which i am sure it isn't for pidgin [14:11] i can do webcam [14:11] please help me [14:11] Mart||n: are you drunk? that makes little sense [14:11] Pirate_Hunter: Hardy? :o [14:11] jsut dmesg | grep usbvideo [14:11] !chmod > pheonix [14:11] pheonix, please see my private message [14:11] Meccano: only the users that have the checkbox checked are in the group [14:11] and if it oupts then u have usbvid [14:11] wether internal or extern [14:12] Meccano: but I don't think that's it.. my user isn't in the pulse group either.. and I have sound working alright [14:12] K. Should I add user in group considering other user not in group has sound ? [14:12] Meccano: what happens if you try playing a sound in a terminal.. say with "aplay /dev/urandom".. do you get an error message? [14:12] hi, how can i see weither my ubuntu has recognized my TWAIN scanner in the correct manner? === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [14:13] try scanning something [14:13] slart: no error. says playing but not sound.... [14:13] Segaja: sane-find-scanner is one place to start. [14:13] Segaja: try running xsane.. I think it lists the connected scanners in some way [14:13] or xsane. [14:13] Meccano: are you using pulse audio? [14:14] slart: in sound I use automatic and alsa.... [14:14] Pirate_Hunter: In Jaunty, it's pidgin-facebookchat. [14:14] xsane sais no device found. so does sane-find-scanner [14:14] I mean auto-detect.... [14:14] (system is in French.... :) [14:14] Pirate_Hunter: It's in the 'universe' repos however. [14:14] Meccano: try running this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol padevchooser paman" then run the pulse audio volume control from the Applications, Sound & Video menu [14:14] the modules parport_pc and parport are loaded [14:15] grawity, errrh for those using hardy how can i get it? [14:15] Slart and Hodapp: both find nothing [14:15] Pirate_Hunter: Do you have the 'universe' repos enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list? It might be there. [14:16] do nvidia proprietary drivers work with Karmic Alpha 4? [14:16] Segaja: then I think it's safe to assume your scanner isn't detected [14:16] !karmic | jrgp [14:16] jrgp: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:16] Slart: any idea why? [14:16] according to mustek.com sane should be able to support it [14:16] Segaja: nope.. I don't think I've ever had a scanner connected to my ubuntu box [14:16] Slart: I'm aware of the risks, just wondering about the nvidia functionality [14:16] the sane homepage aggrees [14:16] jrgp: read the last part of the message... "support on #ubuntu+1" [14:16] slart: sound's back Hurray !!!!! [14:16] ah [14:17] *in [14:17] jrgp: =) [14:17] hello, sorry for my english. I have problem with svn: "Connection closed unexpectedly". Have anybody this problem? [14:17] Meccano: ahh.. that fixed it? sweet [14:17] sound was muted in playback.... [14:17] Meccano: tricky =) [14:17] so, does anyone else has any idea why my system does not recognise the scanner? [14:17] Yep couldn't find it. far from a rocket scientist I guess..... [14:17] grawity, i have but it aint just went to ubuntu package and it starts from intrepid onwards nothing for hardy, i aint to sure about using intrepid repository on hardy, im sure it might break something [14:18] Segaja, make and model? [14:18] Anyway thx a million !!! [14:18] bazhang: mustek MFS-6000SP [14:18] it is old, i know :) [14:18] restart PC for final check [14:18] Pirate_Hunter: You could just download the .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [14:18] Pirate_Hunter: Or you could upgrade to Jaunty. [14:18] Meccano: you're welcome [14:18] In case I don't come back, have a great day and take care [14:19] Bye all. Great room. Hope I don't have to come back ;) [14:19] grawity, will just try to get the intrepid version and install it not too sure if it is wise dont want to upgrade quite happy with hard maybe when the next lst comes out [14:20] hi i got a problem with my mouse.I switched the mousebuttons(right button as primary)but every time i restart jaunty the mouse falls back to default setting(left button as primary) [14:20] Canucklehead [14:20] hello, I need to update a LH-20A1P dvd writer -- there exists only a windows exe installer -- I have tried wine (seg fault) and a vbox win VM (no pci pass through). How else can I update this drive? [14:21] Why when I start Firefox either from the Panel or from the list, two copies always open? [14:21] bazhang: so, andy ideas? [14:21] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/sane-mustek.5.html [14:21] thinkertinker: how did you switch it? [14:21] Segaja, should work no problems [14:22] bazhang: that is what mustek.com and sane-project.org say :) [14:22] is the main repo package 'sbnc' shroudBNC, or is it another program? [14:22] but it does not [14:22] MeanGene: I get zero copies open when I use the Panel. Could I have one of yours? [14:22] !info sbnc | StrangeCharm [14:22] StrangeCharm: sbnc (source: sbnc): an IRC proxy for multiple users. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-10ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 234 kB, installed size 796 kB [14:22] Segaja, you installed all the libsane packages? [14:22] StrangeCharm: apt-cache show sbnc [14:22] MeanGene: check your home page -- there is a syntax to open multiple tabs/windows [14:22] bazhang: oehm... sane was installed so i guessed they are all installed. but i will check [14:23] Segaja, should be at least three [14:23] libsane-extra and so on? [14:23] Thanks I will look for that [14:23] well, there we go, who'd have thought, jrib, grawity [14:24] bobg: Any idea why my attempt to run Firefox from the panel results in no copies opening, but it runs fine from a terminal? [14:24] bazhang: the following are allready installed: libsane, xsane, xsane-common, sane-utils, sane [14:24] i will now install libsane-extras [14:25] Hodapp: right-click on the panel icon and choose "properties" -- see what command its executing [14:25] bobg: The same command as when I run from terminal. [14:25] Anybody here got audio working in an hp dv6 labtop? [14:25] bobg: And I get the same effect if I do /usr/bin/firefox instead. [14:26] bazhang: still nothing [14:26] Segaja, using what app to scan [14:26] bazhang: at the moment i'm trying sane-find-scanner, xsane and quiteinsane [14:26] but all say the same: no device found [14:27] I installed java runtime per instructions found on java page for linux... but firefox did not recognized it... what did I do wrong? [14:27] jiohdi: If you installed the Sun Java runtime, you need sun-java6-plugin too. [14:27] Hodapp: wierd -- try entering another command like "gedit" to see what happens [14:28] bobg: That works... [14:28] grawity... shouldnt the web page have mentioned that? [14:28] Hodapp: also, is type set to "Application" (in the properties dialog) [14:28] bobg: Yeah. [14:28] jiohdi: I don't know. The runtime itself is for standalone applications -- it is not limited to webpages. [14:28] my command (hardy) in the FF launcher is "firefox %u" [14:29] Hodapp: [14:29] grawity, I have two firefoxes installed, one that came with ubuntu and one that I got from mozilla as the latest version [14:29] bobg: Mine is too but the %u seems to make no difference. [14:29] ugh, whenever i run any apt-get command, i get this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m38568580 ideas [14:29] when I went back to the old one, the java install option existed but on the new one, it said manually only [14:30] once I installed the old one, both worked [14:30] nobody uses HP dv6? [14:30] Hodapp: maybe try creating a new launcher from scratch? I am outta ideas [14:30] but I am still curious as to why the install I did per their instructions failed [14:30] hmm [14:30] created a shared folder in ubuntu...how can i browse it from windows? [14:31] Hodapp: oh, check the /var/log/syslog to see if there is an error when you try to launch FF === andi is now known as indra [14:31] 1 more prob:how to flush my dns cache in ubuntu jaunty?? === indra is now known as ezha [14:32] macuser_: whenever i run any apt-get command, i get this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m38568580 ideas?? [14:32] bobg: nothing there. [14:32] what to do when you need to update a hardware's firmware and there is only a windows exe? [14:32] bazhang: what would you use for scanning?

[14:32] please help me [14:32] remove, autoclean, etc [14:32] bobg: I dual-boot Windows :) Sometimes, if the .exe just extracts things to a floppy, I use another computer. [14:32] bobg: i would use virtualBox or my windows :) [14:33] thiebaude: and purge [14:33] Segaja: That wouldn't work if the updater requires access to the hardware mentioned. [14:33] Segaja: As is the case with CD drives, for example. [14:33] grawity: true, thatn the virtualBox would not work [14:33] It would work only in isolated cases... [14:33] Segaja: I tried vbox but it does not recognize the drive b/c vbox provides a virtual drive [14:33] mrapplecomputer1, thats a weird problem i don't know how to fix [14:33] Segaja: Then nothing but Windows would work, I guess. [14:33] bobg: Nothing of interest there. [14:34] thiebaude: i know! its really stumped me, and im not new to ubuntu/*nix [14:34] bobg, wine? [14:34] jiohdi: in wine, It runs, but then I get a segfault === critical_thread is now known as Baba_B00ie [14:34] ANY apt-get command i run i get this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m38568580 [14:34] bobg: If alls the manufacturer offers is an exe method, you will have to run it from a true windoze environment [14:35] grawity: i agree. the good think i still have xp in a corner of my drive :) [14:35] bobg: I dont think theres a windoze live cd but I could be wrong [14:35] grawity: soreau, would a xen VM work if I configure a pci pass through for teh drive? [14:35] soreau: Probably not legally, but meh [14:35] soreau: BartPE is, kind of. [14:35] hi everyone! Can someone please help me with my surround sound that doesn't work? I'm using alsa v. 1.0.20, nothing is muted in Alsamixer. I've connected my Asus P5N-D motherboard with integrated Nvidia HD 883 sound to my receiver via SPDIF optical cable. I get sound within Mplayer in all my speakers but when i run the "speaker-test" it's all muted. Please help me! [14:35] bobg: What exactly are you updating? [14:36] bobg: If Windows gets pure unrestricted access to that particular device - then yes, it probably would work. [14:36] bobg: For updating firmware, thats probably not a good idea [14:36] grawity: a LH-20A1P Liteon dvd writer [14:36] mrapplecomputer1, something about , bad allocation [14:36] Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope uses which Linux Kernel [ is it 2.6.11 + ] or [ 2.6.11 - ] , i need t o know that, in order to install a set of drivers for my webcame ???

[15:27] mohanohi, boot into recovery mode and try the dpkg to see if there is any broken packages you have missed. [15:27] moldy, in future you can /msg ubottu info thin-client-manager-backend (its in component main) [15:27] routinepursuit: firefox-3.5 [15:28] oldude67: oh.. ok .. will try now.. [15:28] routinepursuit, it shows as shiretoko in apps menu [15:28] bazhang: ok, thanks -- but is there a more general way to get this information? from an ubuntu system? [15:28] I can't find the task manager in ubuntu, where is it? [15:28] testi : ps command is what i use to see current processes. [15:28] bazhang: something like apt-cache ? [15:29] moldy, apt-cache show packagename [15:29] bazhang: so uh thanks, nice... [15:29] GPL: I mean a graphical one, where i can i search for processes and then decide what to do with them [15:29] testi : ;) graphical one ,It's system monitor, in System > Administration > [15:30] moldy: open synaptic>settings>preferences>columns and fonts check box that says Component it will list which repo each package is in [15:30] bazhang: and then? get it from the "Filename:" entry?

[15:31] moldy: sudo $EDITOR /etc/apt/sources.list [15:31] mohanohi, source.lst sorry [15:31] moldy: then sudo apt-get update, to refresh the DB. [15:31] moldy, section [15:31] oldude67: oh.. ok.. thanx.. [15:31] bazhang: that says "misc" for thin-client-manager-backend, which is not the information i am loooking for [15:32] another dumb question, where is the icon for ff 3.5?

[15:34] q0s: lsmod [15:34] q0s: lsmod | grep ath [15:34] mazda01_, and then? there is just the size .... [15:34] q0s: huh? lsmod shows you which module is loaded. [15:36] mazda01_, ok .. the output is: atk9k 310836 0 .... but which of my ath9k's is loaded? [15:37] hi I receive the following warning message during system startup, how to fix it ata1:Softreset failed (device not ready),ata2:Softreset failed (device not ready) [15:37] who knows the different between follow command :1)ls -l 2>&1 | wc 2):exec 3>&1;ls -l 2>&1 >&3 3>&- | wc [15:37] q0s, lspci [15:38] oldude67, does this tell me something about loaded modules? [15:38] q0s: well, are they both the same size when issuing a ls -l on them? i don't know how to tell which one is loaded to be honest. you could test it out by exiting out of the session, bootup in recovery mode, rename one of them, then try to log in normally. if the ath module gets loaded correctly then you know you renamed the one you can delete. if not, then rename the other one in recovery session and boot again. it's a tiny, file what the [15:41] mazda01_, thanks. i installed a new ath9k with compiling and make install. i was just afraid about messing up with my paketmanager... [15:42] does anyone know where the commands are kept (what config file) in jwm for the panel and menu commands? [15:42] q0s: if it works, then i would just leave the tiny file alone. it's not like it's taking up tons of space you know. it's up to you if you want to try what i suggested [15:43] hi [15:43] anyone know how to turn off joins, quits, and general messages for colloquy? === throughnothing is now known as xnix === jamil is now known as dhani [15:44] mazda01_, so ... whats if i go the karmic in a few month and the kernel module which was installed by hand prevents a better one from karmic to be used? ;) [15:44] i'm using 8.04 on laptop. the built in speaker works fine, but not headphone jack. how to solve it? [15:44] good night === xnix is now known as throughnothing [15:44] hey people [15:44] yes [15:44] mazda01_: isn't that the osx irc-client? [15:44] (i.e. why ask that in #ubuntu?) [15:45] what terminal command for moving multiple files to the same destination ? [15:45] q0s: why would it prevent a better one from being installed? it's going to upgrade it if theres an upgrade for it, just because you compiled it doesn't mean it's super man [15:45] fatbrain: yes, it is [15:45] where should I report that the Ubuntu mirrors starting with ee. are problematic? [15:45] FreshCure: cp *.txt ./ [15:45] fatbrain: because maybe someone might know that's why [15:45] for moving all txt file to current directory [15:45] sweet that simple eh ? [15:45] i'm using 8.04 on laptop. the built in speaker works fine, but not headphone jack. how to solve it? T_T [15:46] or man cp for more info [15:46] arie: have you gone into gnome alsa mixer or alsa mixer to see if headphone jack is turned up all the way and it's not muted? [15:46] move to current dir , you mean change name? [15:47] yup [15:48] arie: not sure then, have you looked at any audio or pulseaudio guides? [15:48] FreshCure, why would you want to do that? -- that wouldn't work by the way [15:48] move multiple files ? [15:48] its just for tremfusion [15:49] ok to the guy who was nice enough to help me, im back, if you could please im me i would appriciate it thank you ^_^ [15:49] FreshCure, move files to the same destination? that's a bit like taking 10 coffee cups off the table only to put them back, pointless [15:49] mazda01_, there must be a logic how modules gets choosen ... my ath9k's are at 2.6.28-14-generic/updates/ath9k.so and the other one in 2.6.28-14-generic/updates/drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/ath9k.so. imaging always the first one gets loaded, and the other one is the one installed by my packagemanager, so never the packagemanger one would be choosen. if now my PM upgrades its one, it would never have a chance to be used [15:50] i meant the guy that was helping me with the ubuntu remote desktop viewer [15:51] cute_bettong: detrix (try to remember the nick...) [15:51] your are humorous [15:51] q0s: besides what I have already told you, i don't know what to tell you. are you sure one of them isn't a symlink to the other? [15:51] jrib: thanks man [15:52] saturnfossil, hmm, yea, sometimes pointing out a folly is just that :) [15:53] q0s: one is from linux-backport-modules and the other from the original kernl deb ?? [15:53] q0s: the more recent will be the one loaded afaik [15:54] It,s first time to take in English. Thank you [15:54] q0s: 2.6.28-14-generic/updates/ath9k.so i guess [15:54] erUSUL, one from linux-backports-modules the other one was installed via compat-wireless (make install) [15:55] mazda01_, anyway. thanks for your effords ;) [15:55] q0s: i see... [15:57] erUSUL, i know that the compat version is the drivers/net/wireless/ath9k/ath9k.so file ... just want to get sure this one gets loaded ;) [15:57] q0s: i tried. i'd be interested to know how the system knows which kernel modules to load also if you do find it out. i am goggling on it now and it's a lot of reading [15:57] mazda01_: I guessed that much, try #colloquy, might bet a better response there :) [15:57] fatbrain: thank you [16:00] hi.. [16:00] whats the command of dpkg to repair broken packages.. [16:00] sudo apt-get install -f [16:01] it does nothing... [16:01] i want dpkg command which executes on recovery menu..

[16:04] hi [16:05] andyy [16:06] jack [16:08] Eaglescreen: what was that command.. its like reconfiguring the whole system,, [16:08] I can see my CPU temperature in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp, but the gnome sensors applet doesn't seem to know about that. Is there anything I can do to make it display there? === NickDeNeger1 is now known as NickDeNeger [16:08] mohanohi: please be more explicity [16:09] Eaglescreen: wow man.. this thing is new to me.. its asking keyboard model.. and other stuffs,, === Codecex is now known as HaRDaWaY [16:09] mohanohi, what is it your doing exactly?

[16:10] mohanohi: keyboard model for X server is set by 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [16:11] so somebody here suggested to do dpkg from recovery..

It is working fine, but the UI is so slow. Anybody knows how to fix it? [16:13] my system is unable to locate the network in recovery mode.. [16:14] mohanohi: for a broken package you have two alternatives: 1) install its dependences 2) remove the package [16:14] Jol, how much ram [16:14] mohanohi: are you choosing netroot in recovery menu? [16:14] 2048 [16:14] EagleScreen: its not in here in this menu.. [16:15] mohanohi: you dont need internet [16:15] I've found this [16:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/349314/ [16:15] but I do not know how to apply the patch [16:15] ;( [16:15] EagleScreen: but i dont know which package is broken.. [16:16] EagleScreen: upon choosing dpkg repair the system thing in recovery... [16:16] EagleScreen: it shows me to download a 250 mb of packages and some package to remove.. [16:16] mohanohi, telling us what you tried to install last before your system stopped working the way you expect it to will help us to help you [16:16] EagleScreen: if i press enter i dont have network detected.. === Nick is now known as Guest42901 [16:17] idleOne: audacity, and some other 2 sound editing apps.. which name i am unable to remember.. :* [16:17] hi, is there a way to have a list of installed packaged chronologically sorted (last installed first for ex.)? [16:17] mohanohi: do you use wireless or ethernet? [16:18] EagleScreen: no.. [16:18] no to which [16:18] mohanohi: then do u use 3G? [16:18] EagleScreen: no.. [16:18] zouhair: you can always use some grep magic on /var/log/apt/term.log [16:18] zouhair: i dont think so but if you open synaptic>file>history you can see installs by date [16:18] EagleScreen: normal adsl modem connection.. [16:18] ok thanks [16:19] is there any gui program to change xorg settings ?? [16:19] is there a way to password protect individual folders? [16:19] legend2440: zouhair: but that will only show installs done _through_ synaptic. [16:19] hmm :( [16:19] majnoon: if you have an nvidia video kart you can use nvidia-settings [16:20] arand: yes definitely, I amost never use synaptic, only aptitude [16:20] mohanohi: go to the recovery mode now [16:20] jiohdi: you could set the to only be readable by root, or another user with password protection? [16:20] EagleScreen: ok... [16:21] arand, how? [16:21] mohanohi: drop to a root shell later [16:21] EagleScreen: i am in .... [16:22] so I'll still stick to Bash history ;( [16:22] EagleScreen: what to do now sir? [16:22] intel 855GM series [16:22] mohanohi: dpkg --configure -a [16:22] jiohdi: use the chown, and chmod commands. [16:22] EagleScreen: ok.. [16:22] EagleScreen: no response.. [16:23] arand, speak windows or stupid :) [16:23] majnoon: what you want to edit in xorg? [16:23] ok run 'aptitude' [16:23] NickDeNeger, from lspci|grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [16:23] Does anyone know how to install Nepenthes on Ubuntu 9.04? I have installed it through apt-get and configured it, but it can't connect to my sockets as they are already being used [16:23] Hi, any good tutorials on how permissions and such work in linux? Specifically I'm looking to understand the output of ls -l. [16:23] just mostly want to tweek and see if get improvements [16:24] EagleScreen: ok.. what to do now sir? [16:24] zouhair: then something like sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep "Setting up" will catch everything which passes apt. [16:24] it is not possible to alter xorg configurations while xorg has already started [16:24] mohanohi: run 'aptitude' -> Ctrl + T to drop menu and select Cancel pending operations [16:24] you always need to restart xorg [16:25] In newer kernel versions, should Ubuntu be able to mount my HFS+ with write support even if I have not disabled journaling in OS X? [16:25] THAT not a problem :) [16:25] EagleScreen: ok.. what to do now sir? [16:25] EagleScreen: oh.. sorry about that.. [16:25] buttons840, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:25] mohanohi: run 'aptitude install' and tell me if it does something [16:25] monostone, looks great thanks [16:25] mohanohi: quit aptitude programm first [16:26] they changed xorg.conf settings on me :) [16:26] EagleScreen: ok.. nothing just dropped me into command line.. [16:26] majnoon: but as far as i know there isn't a tool to alter xorg.conf options by gui for a intel gpu [16:26] mohanohi: run 'dpkg-reconfigure -phight xserver-xorg' [16:27] a "generic" one would do for me [16:27] EagleScreen, its phigh not phight [16:27] Hi there, I'm wanting to resize my windows partition to install ubuntu manually, I don't get the Use As and mount options [16:28] majnoon: I found this link via google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156243 [16:28] (during installation), can anyone help me what they are and basic process or point to a good page where they're explained [16:28] EagleScreen: but i dont have issues with my graphic driver? is it to repair my driver? [16:28] NickDeNeger, where they put the settings now ?? [16:28] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:29] jiohdi: On second though, I think that doing this the way I was thinking will complicate things quite a bit, and it will be rather complicated to browse the directory in question... I'm not sure what you are looking to do though? [16:29] mohanohi: it set the default X server configuration [16:29] hi, i have partition problems [16:29] EagleScreen: i think my xserver doesn't have any problem.. its some package giving problem.. [16:30] rohtie: define problems ;) [16:30] eg it says Identifier "Configured Video Device" <-- where are THOSE settings ?? [16:30] * buttons840 reads about file permissions and has the immediate urge to change all permissions recursively... [16:30] I can't resize my windows partition [16:30] mohanohi: run it, it is not dangerous [16:30] EagleScreen: how to remove problematic packages.. as it says in dpkg repair broken package..? [16:30] EagleScreen: ok.. as u say sir.. [16:31] Is there an unofficial repository where I can get the latest beta drivers from nvidia? [16:31] and how do you know the problem is a broken package? and how a broken pakage kill your X server? [16:31] a === ftab_ is now known as ftab [16:31] rohtie: so you are using gparted, and that says what when you try to rezise? [16:31] EagleScreen: now it has taken a backup.. [16:32] yes, normally [16:32] Ivoz: this video may help, its for ubuntu 8.10 but it will apply to 9.04 as well http://video.linuxfoundation.org/video/1104 [16:32] why am i being prompted by update-manager? how can i stop update-manager? [16:32] EagleScreen: what to do now sir? [16:32] mohanohi: tell us what have you seen to think you have broken packages? [16:32] anr78: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us [16:33] NickDeNeger, eg it says Identifier "Configured Video Device" <-- where are THOSE settings ?? [16:33] arand: In ubuntu live cd, when the partition is unmounted the maximum and minum size is the same. When mounted, the resize/move function is disabled [16:33] EagleScreen: hmmm.. that dpkg - Repair broken packages shows me to download a 250 mb file and to remove some package.. [16:33] why am i being prompted by update-manager within a minute? how can i stop update-manager? [16:33] majnoon: I found this link via google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156243 [16:34] majnoon: and yeah that are settings [16:34] legend2440: thanks, but I'm looking for a repo with them that will let me install using apt-get. used it earlier but don't remember where I found it :) [16:34] anr78: I know http://philip.magicalforest.se/ has v.185 at least... [16:34] mohanohi: if you has any broken package, 'aptitude install' would try to install them propertly, or to remove them if not possible, and it does nothing now, true? [16:34] ericG: im in ubuntu livecd atm, should I be able to view the video? [16:34] majnoon: before editing any of the xorg.conf type: man xorg.conf [16:34] for help [16:34] ok [16:34] EagleScreen: oh.. yeah.. sorry.. i am new to these type of things.. just guessing.. [16:34] I'm trying to force a window to be fullscreen (overrides toolbars, no window frame). I've tried targeting the window with CompizConfig but it never works. Is there something I can prepend to the launch command to make the window fullscreen? [16:35] arand: thanks [16:35] mohanohi: try rebooting and pay atention to any possible error [16:35] rohtie: um...is the partition full? [16:35] Ivoz: ah, probably not i think it is a flash video. do you not have the option in the ubuntu installer to automaticaly resize the windows partition and use free space? [16:35] arand: nope [16:35] EagleScreen: ok.. should i reboot to normal or that recovery thing? [16:35] try normal now mohanohi [16:35] arand: when mounted you can see in the bar that it's not fulll [16:36] if i setup this pipe ls -lR | grep grwx* why does the screen spam smybolic link errors, wouldn't grep stop these from showing? [16:36] ericG: yes, but there are other options, such as mount: and use as: which I don't understand... don't want to do something wrong to my vista partition [16:36] EagleScreen: ok.. sir.. :_ [16:36] EagleScreen: ok.. sir.. :) [16:36] Where can I find a definition for "provides" in dpkg? [16:37] EagleScreen: just the same :( [16:37] EagleScreen: showing busy cursor.. [16:37] mount just tells the OS where to 'put' the contents of that partition, think of it kind of like loading a cd. you have your drive always present but it doesn't do anything until you put something in [16:37] mohanohi: what is exactly happening? [16:37] buttons840: grep process stdout not stderr [16:37] Ivoz: are you wanting to be able to access your windows partitions from ubuntu? [16:37] i see [16:37] EagleScreen: i able to move my mouse.. black screen, busy cursor.. thats it.. [16:37] rohtie: and you still cant rezise it when unmounted?... Maybe you could try defragmenting it (I don't know, but maybe there are several "holes" that pads the partition out?) [16:38] arand: how do i defrag it? [16:38] ericG: that would be nice if possible. I think the mount options where /dos and /windows if i remember from the installer [16:38] anr78: here are some nvidia 190 https://launchpad.net/~thefirstm/+archive/ppa [16:38] ericG: that video shows the guided way, i was looking to do it manually :) [16:38] ivoz yes that is correct. in the partitioner does it say your windows partition is NTFS? if so, you set 'use as' to NTFS and mount to /windows [16:39] rohtie: from within windows, most simply. [16:39] EagleScreen: what do do :( [16:39] mohanohi: how are you in this state? did you stopped some update process? [16:39] arand: I can't access windows, because theres something wrong with it [16:39] rohtie, defraggler is a good defragger i used for windows, it lets you consolidate free space as well [16:39] EagleScreen: yeah.. it was installing audacity.. and i cancelled it.. [16:40] legend2440: that was the one I had earlier. thanks! [16:40] rohtie: If you look at the information for the partion in gparted, are there any warning or such? [16:40] EagleScreen: i mean i was installing audacity,... [16:40] only when its unmounted [16:40] ericG: so selecting ntsf and /windows will leave vista as it is and let me boot into either? [16:40] hi, anyone having luck with voice chat with windows gtalk users.. [16:40] shah16 [16:40] mohanohi: why did you cancel? did you see any rare? [16:40] EagleScreen [16:40] rohtie: what does it say? [16:40] hyyyyyyyyyyy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [16:40] hi Guest5012!! [16:40] EagleScreen [16:40] EagleScreen: no.. just it was taking too long and somany packages.. [16:41] !intel [16:41] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [16:41] ubottu [16:41] arand: unable to read contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. [16:41] rohtie [16:41] hi, anyone having luck with voice chat with windows gtalk users.. [16:41] shah16 [16:41] ivoz selecting ntsf and /windows _on your windows partition_ will let you access it from ubuntu. you need to create a new partition for ubuntu and set its 'use as' to ext3 or ext4, and mount to '/' [16:41] i think Guest5012 is a bot [16:41] mohanohi: press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to tty console [16:42] EagleScreen: ok.. [16:42] guest5012 [16:42] ericG, do i need like a swapfile sub partition or something? [16:42] EagleScreen: i am in.. [16:42] Ivoz: that too. [16:42] login mohanohi [16:42] in the ls -l patern rwx, what does rwt mean? what is the t? [16:42] EagleScreen: yeah.. i have.. [16:42] mohanohi: run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' [16:43] ericG: So create another primary partition, then two sub partitions, one for swapfile one for ubuntu? [16:43] EagleScreen: ok.. [16:43] EagleScreen: stopped.. [16:43] rohtie: ah, I normally get that when the system is hibernated, and I've booted into ubuntu without waking it up, but in your case it may be the indication of the win boot problem I guess... [16:43] Ivoz: even if you don't setup the windows partition to be visible in ubuntu an entry will still be created so you can select either [16:43] mohanohi: what happens if you run 'startx' ? [16:43] arand: Do you have any idea how to fix it? [16:43] ivoz yes [16:44] ericG: I'm not sure what you mean. How do i setup or not setup windows to be visible to ubuntu? [16:44] EagleScreen: it opened some sort of grid type screen.. and login sound.. [16:44] buttons840, it is a sticky bit [16:44] theatro, what does that mean? [16:44] ivoz you are doing the partitioning. ubuntu will install a bootloader (grub) which will be used to select which OS you want to boot [16:44] For some reason, when i open programs on ubuntu, the program border is missing. why could this be? [16:44] eh, well just google it [16:44] I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition needs to be updated to reflect what the software shows [16:45] mohanohi: did you hear login sound but dont see the desktop? [16:45] rohtie: my guess would be using windows CDs receovery tools and similar... But I don't have much experience in that particualarly, sorry. [16:45] EagleScreen: no.. :( [16:45] If I disable journaling on my os x drive, will Ubuntu automagically have write support when I mount from nautilus? [16:45] ivoz grub is used to load either ubuntu or windows, so it doesn't matter if ubuntu can 'see' your windows partition [16:45] arand: Myabe i should just delete that partition [16:45] !hfs [16:45] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [16:45] mohanohi: press Alt + F7 and tell me what you see [16:45] EagleScreen: here in console the last line says Compatible NVIDIA X drive rnot found.. [16:46] rohtie: if you are able to extract all valuable date off it, that and a reinstall would be an option, yes. [16:46] hi can anyone till me if there is a program to voice activate programs by command [16:46] EagleScreen: in Alt + F7 just a gray blank screen.. [16:46] ericG: It would be nice for ubuntu to be able to see the windows partition - is there some way of doing the partition that will not let it or something? [16:46] theatro, it says even though someone has write, they can't rename or delete the file if sticky bit is set? [16:46] arand: i can't reinstall because windows was preinstalled [16:46] hi [16:47] hi guys :) [16:47] rohtie: ah, problem :( [16:47] arand: i could maybe borrow a cd or somethin [16:47] anyone know how to install gtk 2.x themes ? [16:47] EagleScreen: hey.. what to do now? [16:47] mohanohi: go to tty again (Ctrl Alt F2) to go to tty 2 [16:47] ivoz then just set the use as options and mount point for the windows partition like we talked about before, create a new partition for ubuntu and set it to use as ext3 or ext4, and mount to /, and create one more for swap, set its 'use as' to swap and then click next :) [16:48] motomast3r, drag the tar.gz to the theme manager usually does it [16:48] EagleScreen: ok [16:48] hi [16:48] barzhang realy :O [16:48] arand: btw do you kn ow if windows supports ext? [16:48] rohtie: a possibility yes, since you do have the license for it. By the way, how does windows fail to start? [16:48] EagleScreen: here in tty1 showing Failed to initilize GLX extension [16:48] motomast3r, yes, from gnome-look.org ? [16:48] ericG: So at that point I would have 3 (in my case 4 as there is an extra HP partition) primary partitions? [16:48] you will be able to see your windows partition from ubuntu and grub will allow you to boot either windows or linux Ivoz [16:48] yea [16:48] mohanohi: login and run '/sbin/ifconfig' and see if you have ip address in your net connection [16:48] thanks bashang for patience :) [16:49] Hey all [16:49] ericG: how big should the swap partition be? [16:49] ivoz, how much ram do you have? [16:49] arand: before coming to the login screen, it says configuring updates and then it reboots [16:49] ericG: I was planning to give ubuntu roughly 38gb free space [16:49] EagleScreen: yeah,, i have connection,, [16:49] im forgot [16:49] ericG: i have 3gb ram [16:49] rohtie: no, not as the main filesystem at least, it is possible with unofficial drivers to get access to the partition to read/write to it, but you'll never be able to install windows onto ext I don't think... [16:49] how to change a 5.1 sound volume [16:49] lika a bass midlle [16:50] motomast3r, that should do it most cases, unless they have special instructions on the web page [16:50] mohanohi: run 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-stantard xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core' [16:50] ivoz different people say different things...some say 1gb otheres say twice ram..i just set mine equal to ram but that could be overkill [16:50] Is anyone using amsn? In here it keeps on the "Logging in" and doesn't login [16:50] arand: maybe in 200years ^^ [16:50] bazhang can you give to me link PLZ [16:50] ? === justik_ is now known as justik [16:51] gnome-look.org motomast3r check most downloaded and most popular for some good ones [16:51] rohtie: this might be your problem?: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31682422/configuring-updates-3-of.aspx [16:51] ericG: anywhere i can go to find out about it? It doesn't seem to be mentioned much in ubuntu installation instructions, i would like to make my own decision unless there is a tonne of reading to do [16:51] EagleScreen: ok.. did it.. [16:51] Ivoz: I have 3GB for swap but my RAM is 4GB [16:52] EagleScreen: its saying it need about 100 mb to get download.. 1 to remove [16:52] !swap [16:52] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [16:52] Would I have too many problems for using a NTFS partiton as /home [16:52] bazhang you not understand me :(((((( [16:52] mohanohi: accept, but what to be removed? [16:52] motomast3r, for themes? [16:52] bazhang : ya checked, if VX-1000 is under supported list or not. hmm, i couldnt get it to work :( i tried everything i could. [16:52] arand: yep, thats the exact problem [16:52] EagleScreen: scrollkeeper{a} [16:53] ivoz there is some discussion here, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2910 [16:53] accept mohanohi [16:53] * arand thinks the !swap entry should include a mention about hibernation as welll [16:53] EagleScreen: ok sir.. [16:53] bazhang PM [16:53] arand: but i cant use safe mode, and i dont have the cd >_> what to do? [16:53] from the faq it seems i should have 3gb or more to be able to hibernate? [16:53] EagleScreen: wow man.. it showing it takes 22 mins to download.. [16:53] es [16:53] motomast3r, keep in channel please, tell the channel with as many details as possible what the issue what you tried, paste.ubuntu.com with error messages etc [16:54] #ubunu- es [16:54] #ubunu-es [16:54] arand: do you use hibernate? I think that the computer gets somewhat slow after the hibernate [16:54] #ubuntu-es === vic is now known as Guest86720 [16:54] more here ivoz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990458 [16:55] bazhang no errors im almost complete soun changing tutorial [16:55] sound* [16:55] but im not understand how to add sound change bars [16:55] :( [16:55] motomast3r, address the channel with your exact issue; 'sound issues' is not clear at all [16:55] rohtie: look around and se if there are other options to fix it, or try to get hold of a windows cd for repairing. That's about all advice I can come up with... === Shinobi is now known as Guest55698 [16:56] motomast3r: i dont get, this term "sound change bars" [16:56] thats a crap for me :( [16:56] arand: Ok thanks anyways! Maybe i can resize it after this is fixed [16:56] will the computer basically not be able to hibernate if the swap file isn't as big as your ram? [16:56] rohtie: also, at this point, ##windows might be a better channel for help on the issue. [16:56] w8 i'm show [16:57] arand: okay i ddint know there was a channel like that [16:57] thats what others have said ivoz, personally I do not know as I always suspend instead of hibernate [16:57] rohtie: My guess would be that the partition is locked beacause of the update-loop yes. [16:57] arand: Thanks, and cya :) [16:57] but my swap is also = to my ram so it in theory should work anyway [16:58] rohtie: no problem, glad to help. [16:59] im not understand a last point [16:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 [17:00] ericG: do you think an exactly 3072gb partition will be equal to ram or should i make it a bit bigger? [17:00] anyone hear me :( [17:00] MOUD: in theory at least, hibernation should not impact performance, anything else I would presume is down to bugs... [17:01] ivoz youd probably be fine with 3072gb. [17:01] arand: it used to get slower when I used ubunto 8.04 so I never used it again. [17:02] wat? ubuntu will get slower, and slower, and no defragment tool? moud? [17:03] Alvinware: hibernation was our topic [17:03] theoretycally ext4 doesn't need defragmentation [17:03] oh, ok, arand. [17:03] Alvinware: I was talking about hibernation [17:03] ok 2 moud. [17:03] hi [17:03] anyone here [17:03] i have a question [17:04] good to know :f [17:04] guys help [17:04] arand: According to what I saw on some linux forums, if you are going to use hibernation then you need to have at least a swap size bigger or equal to your RAM size [17:04] guys help [17:04] ubuntistas, ask a question [17:04] ubuntistas: just ask! its support [17:05] how can i dual boot [17:05] iam in ubuntu now [17:05] !dualboot > ubuntistas [17:05] ubuntistas, please see my private message [17:05] and i want to reinstall windows xp any clue? [17:05] ubuntistas, do it and restore grub [17:05] arand, ubuntu orphan packages detector detects a lots of orphan package, but not all should be removed, cause actually it's not orphan, the detector go wrong, right? does the command too? [17:05] MOUD: yes, since ram is dumped to swapspace, and the recovered when you unfreeze. [17:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub ubuntistas [17:06] whats the best package for vm to install xp in ubuntu [17:06] Alvinware: I have no idea, sorry. [17:06] arand: exactly, it's like on windows [17:06] FloridaGuy, no best, virtualbox-ose is in repos [17:06] ubuntistas: I've found http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning its pretty informative [17:06] bazhang u mean after installation do i have to restore grub? [17:06] ok [17:06] ubuntistas, yes, read the link [17:06] thx ivoz [17:06] moud, just don't use hibernation, why hibernate? is it good? [17:07] ubuntistas: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [17:08] does ubuntu make a swap partition automatically when you install it (i am dual booting and partitioning), or should i do it myself and do i have to tell it where/what the swap partition is somewhere in install or after? [17:08] yes. [17:08] Ivoz: it does [17:08] Ivoz, the guided installer will do it [17:08] u could define it too. [17:09] I was planning to use the manual installer so i could define what size to make the ubuntu partition [17:09] guys u misunderstood i am in ubuntu and i want install windows xp [17:09] hi, I have some processes running on the background, how do I put one of then in the foreground(since fg puts only the last one in the foreground)? [17:09] Ivoz: if you use automatic partitioning the swap is automatically created, if you use manual you will have to create it yourself. [17:09] ubuntistas, yes, do so then restore grub (read the link on how to do so) [17:09] hi === Keiffer is now known as Thor_allmighty [17:10] ubuntistas: the link I gave you should tell you how to do that. [17:10] sudo grub [17:10] find /boot/grub/stage1 [17:10] Alvinware: I don't like to use hibernation but some people do. I'm not sure if there is any good advantage of hibernating [17:10] root (hdx,x) [17:10] who is the Supereme Ruler in here? [17:10] setup hdX [17:10] มีคัยคนไทยมั่ง [17:10] moud, save energy.

So you have installed ubuntu and nothing else currently... [17:13] yup === toxic is now known as ToXiC [17:14] ubuntistas, read through that link once or twice and then give it a go. the worst that can happen is you will have to re-install ubuntu and the best that will happen is you will succeed and learn something new today and feel really good about yourself === ToXiC is now known as ToXiC0 [17:15] For some reason, when i open programs on ubuntu using Nvidia restricted driver, program borders are missing. why could this be? [17:15] i don't want experiments i want real solutions [17:15] ubuntistas, then follow the links given you. [17:15] ubntithat is a real solution but it requires that you do a little work [17:16] ubuntistas, it is well documented and done by many users. [17:16] ubuntistas, people probably aren't willing to hold your hand through it... [17:16] ubuntistas, if u dnt want to experiment .. dnt use linux .. as a matter of fact dnt use computers .. [17:16] linux is a continuous learning experience [17:17] yep .. wt IdleOne .. [17:17] ;) [17:17] does a swap area parition need to be primary if the ubuntu partition is primary or can it be logical? [17:17] Hello , what is the best fonts for ubuntu , the default dont look so good === ToXiC0 is now known as toxic [17:17] !fonts | banjoz [17:17] banjoz: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [17:17] logical is good ;) === toxic is now known as ToXiC [17:18] EagleScreen: wow... downloaded.. [17:18] EagleScreen: its installing.. [17:18] NauTiluS1: so ubuntu won't mind the swap area being logical next to it? [17:18] EagleScreen: finished... === ToXiC is now known as ToXiC0 [17:18] ubuntistas: if you are not comfortable with the guides out there then I don't think you will be able to get a dual-boot, since that is the normal solution. [17:18] EagleScreen: what to do now.. should i restart the system? [17:18] yes ;) [17:19] ubuntistas, an hour ago mohanohi here was ready to slam his computer accross a wall, now look at him. he read a bit followed some instructions and is smilling [17:19] mohanohi: go to tty1 (Alt F1) -> Ctrl + C to kill X server and run 'startx' again [17:19] EagleScreen: oh.. now i restarted.. [17:19] hi [17:19] EagleScreen: the same thing.. [17:20] EagleScreen: :( === Thor_allmighty is now known as Keiffer [17:20] i want the 'mount point' to be /boot for my ubuntu installation partition? [17:20] mohanohi: i need you need to install the nvidia restricted driver [17:20] or perahaps '/'? [17:20] EagleScreen: ok.. [17:20] Ivoz: no, just / [17:20] Ivoz: / [17:20] For some reason, when i open programs on ubuntu using Nvidia restricted driver, program borders are missing. why could this be? [17:20] well he was smilling hehe [17:20] I switched to fluxbox, anyone know how to make fluxbox automount a usb drive? gnome-volume-manager isn't on my system and doesn't seem like I should have to install it since mounting is automatic in gnome [17:20] mohanohi: what ubuntu release do u have? [17:20] EagleScreen: whats the command to do from tty? [17:21] EagleScreen: 8.10 [17:21] Ivoz: /boot is if you want a separate partition just for the bootloader (grub). [17:21] EagleScreen: 64 bit.. [17:21] ;) [17:21] primary particion [17:22] arand: is that a good idea for dual boot? [17:22] I wish this partition editor would do things in proper 1024 bytes [17:22] EagleScreen: what to do? [17:23] separate partition for the sector and whether pot is a good option [17:23] make it a primary partition that is also where they will be hosting the system partition, in your case / [17:24] Ivoz: it could be... it is not normally used, and I have never had the need to use it, I would guess it's a good idea if you have a lot of linux os-es you multi-boot and reinstall... [17:24] courtesy of google translator: P [17:24] my English is not very good even [17:24] EagleScreen: i am waiting sir ... [17:25] mohanohi: install packages nvidia-glx and linux-restricted-modules [17:25] EagleScreen: ok :) [17:25] Hi, where can I download individual debs for Ubuntu 9?

[17:26] so my Vista ntfs partition should have a mount point of /windows? [17:26] Galik: then pull them out of the repos [17:26] Galik: packages.ubuntu.com [17:27] EagleScreen: and shown it was already installed.. [17:27] ubuntistas: the ubuntu live CD can do it [17:27] EagleScreen: now installing restricted modules. [17:27] then set driver nvidia in xorg.conf [17:27] ubtuntistas: system > administration > partition editor === andrea is now known as Guest50802 [17:27] jrib: thnx a bunch :) [17:27] ivoz how?

I have seen a few how-to's for my specific model but they all relate to ubutnu 6.06 and I have 9.04. I have a dell D600 with and ATI 9000 mobility [17:28] Ivoz: Hmm, I don't think you should touch the ntfs partition in the installer, other than to rezise it to make room. [17:28] ubuntistas: use gparted [17:28] i upgraded ivoz and the live cd has the previous version is that a problem? [17:28] mohanohi: open it in text editor: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:29] arand you can set the ntfs partition to use as ntfs and mount /windows and it will automatically mount in ubuntu. it will be fine as long as the format box isnt checked, its how I have mine setup [17:29] brb [17:29] arand: I think ericG said said I should use /windows... arg [17:29] EagleScreen: its installing linux-image 2.6.27-14 generic file.. [17:29] mohanohi: look for Section Device Driver "nv" and replace by "nvidia" [17:29] ericG: Ivoz: Ok, it's just that I never tried that... [17:29] ubuntistas: you can also just download gparted if you don't need ur disk to be offline === jean-paul is now known as www2 [17:30] ubuntistas: what version of gparted you use should not be a problem in this case no. === DaZ is now known as inkoguto [17:31] when I try to use System>Prefs>display to activate my second display in anything other than mirror my screens both go nuts and make it impossibe to do any thing.

[17:31] im just installed virtualbox ose...got everything setup for my vm size...put the windows xp cd in...got to where windows cd is detecting the unpartitioned space with is my 6 gb of vm space..do i format that just as if i was installing windows by it sel..? [17:32] FloridaGuy: yeah [17:32] * arand is afk. [17:32] !away > arand [17:32] arand, please see my private message [17:32] ivoz, i should clarify that the /windows and ntfs setup works for me with XP, I have not tried it with vista but it should work the same. [17:32] jrib, of thanks..what would be better nt or fat32 [17:32] i upgraded arand and the live cd has the previous version is that a problem? [17:32] i just installed gparted [17:33] FloridaGuy: ntfs is probably better for windows [17:33] ubuntistas: it doesn't matter which version of the livecd you use as you will only be using it to run gparted on on unmounted disk [17:33] I have a filetype that I've chosen to open with a specific application. How do I remove this association? [17:33] jrib, ok...was just woundering sence its vm [17:34] EagleScreen: the file doesn't contain any nv.. [17:34] ericg how can i open gparted i just installed it [17:34] FloridaGuy, jrib: If a filesystem is shared between Windows and Linux, ntfs is probably the best choice. [17:34] ubuntistas: hit alt+F2 and type gparted should work. [17:35] ok [17:35] grawity, ok thanks [17:35] with what software can i create Create an NTFS partition for windows ?

[17:40] motomast3r: some packed files just contain a binary file.. just as in windows. You need to read the instructions from whoever created that file [17:40] Janos: It's a bit complicated. It depends on what you've done really, but in most cases a reinstall will be unneccesary. [17:40] Xerran1: you need to provide some more details..

[18:27] ok shamm 44 [18:27] mook_: koolio === shamm is now known as LinuxGold [18:27] SmithX: dpkg is the package manager (there are multiple tools that are collectively "dpkg"), APT is a dependency-resolving frontend to it that supports repositories (and has again multiple implementations in apt-get & co, aptitude and synaptic etc.)... and that's about it. [18:27] back to my old nick. :) [18:28] SmithX: usually, you will be using one of the APT tools to install and remove packages. [18:28] Anyone uses Direct Connect on Ubuntu? I guess DC++ is not working but maybe there are some good alternatives you suggest? [18:28] SmithX: I prefer aptitude but apt-* work fine too.

[18:33] thank you Chousuke and yoyoned [18:33] ok its at 80\ [18:33] SmithX: dpkg is a backend which does the actual installing stuff, apt is a frontend 'framework' that works out dependencies and etc, and then you can GUI apps based on apt like synatpic which let you do your updating graphically; this is as far as I understand it [18:34] mook_: we ALL were like you once before. [18:34] i know [18:34] ^poohPooh, sill xp run slower in vm once installed or should it run normal [18:34] sorry, got disconnected [18:34] SmithX: dpkg is a backend which does the actual installing stuff, apt is a frontend 'framework' that works out dependencies and etc, and then you can GUI apps based on apt like synatpic which let you do your updating graphically; this is as far as I understand it [18:34] anyways, could anyone help explain why ubuntu package management is the way it is? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:35] SmithX: I'm not sure on the "why"; Someone came up with a good idea and developed it. [18:35] SmithX: Debian developers could. [18:35] <^poohPooh> for me it takes more or less the same amount of time as compared to a real one: FloridaGuy [18:35] felixsulla: You can use the GUI, System>Main Menu , to do that. [18:35] 92 [18:35] what's the diff between aptitude and synaptic? [18:35] SmithX: After all, Ubuntu is just a .... fork of Debian, you could say. [18:35] ok [18:35] SmithX: Aptitude is tty-based, Synaptic uses X. [18:36] SmithX: only the enterface. They do the same thing [18:36] What about defaults.lst ? [18:36] oh, I fogot to mention there's dpkg-deb for which dpkg is and yet another frontend to [18:36] SmithX: you can use apt from the command line or a GUI based on apt, I think aptitude and synaptic are just different variations on a gui frontend for apt [18:36] SmithX: And don't forget apt-get/apt-cache :) [18:36] aptitude is tool that manages the package, synaptic is GUI based that uses aptitude in background. [18:36] woohoo 98 [18:36] <^poohPooh> what exactly the problem you are facing? FloridaGuy [18:36] SmithX: Seriously, you've been told several times to ask Debian developer. [18:36] If I change defauts.lst can I get the changes to take effect without rebooting? [18:36] I added a usb hard disk but I cannot write on it - wha should I do ? [18:36] <^poohPooh> might be permission issue: acu [18:36] LinuxGold: No, bothy Synaptic and Aptitude are equivalent, AFAIK. [18:37] both* [18:37] oh right [18:37] gravity: debian doesn't use apt and others [18:37] what file is defauts.lst [18:37] SmithX: it's very simple in principle though: you have a package format, a manager for those packages and their dependencies (dpkg). Then you have a host of tools that use the "APT library" to fetch those packages and their dependencies from remote (or local) repositories [18:37] <^poohPooh> yes its www-data: Chousuke [18:37] <-- R2D21 (n=janne@80.85.115.65) has left #ubuntu ("Lämnar") [18:37] SmithX: debian does use apt [18:37] ok linux its asking me of i want kde or gnome [18:37] Chousuke: oh, I thought apt was ubuntu exclusive [18:37] <^poohPooh> mount the usb as a root or add write permission to that using sudo : acu [18:37] ^poohPooh, what should I do - tried to change permision of the folder in /home/user/hardsick [18:37] ^poohPooh, no problem....just installing xp in virtualbox ose just seems slower.....my 1st time useing vm [18:37] SmithX: nah. debian had it for years before ubuntu even existed :) [18:38] Synaptic is a graphical package management program for apt. [18:38] FOR apt. [18:38] :) [18:38] Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 from CD but the partition app doesn't find any partitions on my disk, it considers all space unallocated. What should I do? [18:38] poohpooh | chousuke : How to configure www-data **? [18:38] Chousuke: for some reason, i thought i remember reading about debian complaining about how ubuntu packages were splitting off or something [18:38] mook_: make a pick [18:38] ok gold im going with kde [18:38] SmithX: Debian has used apt since I first touched a computer; it had apt before Ubuntu existed; it still has apt. [18:38] how can i change what the boot options are called when i boot up my computer? [18:38] Sydanta: is it a new disk? [18:38] SmithX: ah, well, Ubuntu does modify the packages somewhat. [18:38] ok reading database [18:38] SmithX: You could think of Ubuntu as an user-friendly Debian. They do have their own repos though [18:38] yoyoned: No, it's the same I'm using Windows and Debian. [18:39] #php [18:39] Chousuke: so is that really the main difference of apt from dpkg? apt interfaces with the repositories? [18:39] SmithX: maybe the Debian devs were complaining about ubuntu modifying the packages in ways that made cooperation difficult with debian. but that has little to do with the actual package manager tools. [18:39] just fyi this is kbuntu now [18:39] !grub|lvoz [18:39] lvoz: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:39] Chousuke: that was probably it [18:40] mook_: try this /etc/init.d/kdm start [18:40] SmithX: apt uses and depends on dpkg. it provides additional functionality that dpkg alone does not; but it doesn't duplicate what dpkg does. [18:40] sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start [18:40] i will once it finishes [18:40] k === raiden is now known as Guest89089 [18:41] Chousuke: I understand. So what does apt offer that dpkg doesn't besides interfacing with the respositories? [18:41] Ivoz: GAB has been known to work with multiboot setups, but GRUB can do it. [18:41] SmithX dpkg by itsefl wil not solve dependencies [18:41] this is what i got [18:41] Starting K Display Manager: kdm. [18:41] SmithX: hmm, well, APT can automatically verify the package signatures for one. [18:42] SmithX: but its main job is dealing with repositories and automatic package upgrades [18:42] when I press ++ in jaunty, X does not restart. Is this a Jaunty feature or I messed up with my system? [18:42] try alt F7 at same time [18:42] Chousuke: does dpkg handle dependencies? I've heard differing opinions in this room [18:42] me ? [18:42] mook_: yes [18:42] sorry [18:42] hi there, has anyone managed to get the imon/soundgraph lcd 15c2:0038 version working with jaunty 64bit? I've been going mad with various guides and getting nowhere. at the moment I just want to get the remote control working (I figure that's easier) then move on to the lcd, but I don't see anything from irw or mode2 using the device [18:42] k [18:42] hey anyone here running ubuntu on an acer aspire one D250? [18:42] Mka: that is ubuntu making desisions fou you. [18:42] Hi there. Is there _any_ way i can get decent 3D with an ati xpress X1500 chip? I realise ati dropped support but wondered if there is some uber hack to get the last driver working with Jaunty. Thanks!! [18:42] SmithX: dpkg does record dependencies (they're part of the deb package format), but it doesn't actually download or install them for you. it just complains if they're not fulfilled. [18:43] SmithX: APT then does the difficult part of dependency management so that dpkg is always satisfied. [18:43] yoyoned: is there an alternative? [18:43] nothing [18:44] nothin linuxgold [18:44] Chousuke: makes sense. so aptitude and synaptic are just gui frontends to apt? [18:44] mook_: sudo update-rc.d -f kdm defaults [18:44] mook_: after that, try rebooting the machine [18:44] Mka: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html [18:45] How come Ubuntu sort of prefers a wifi connection over a HDSPA connection, even if the HDSPA is connected to the internet and the wifi isn't? (in fact, I'm trying to set up ip masquerading between the hdspa and wifi) [18:45] already exists [18:45] Hi. I'm trying to get my Samsung LCD-tv to work with my ubuntu laptop with a dvi-dvi -cable. My laptop shows the samsung 46" TV on preferences->display, but i can't get the TV to recognize my laptop. Anyone wanna give me a hint? [18:45] ok reboot the machine [18:45] ok man brb [18:45] Do aptitude/synatpic do anything that apt itself doesn't do as far as package management? [18:45] SmithX: aptitude is not a GUI fronted; it's an alternatice CLI frontend. synaptic is a GUI frontend. [18:45] yoyoned: thanks [18:45] After you add a defaults.list and add a text/plain= to defaults.list, is there a command to make it take effect? [18:45] Chousuke: Do aptitude/synatpic do anything that apt itself doesn't do as far as package management? [18:46] SmithX: some say aptitude is a bit smarter about dependencies than apt-get. but the tools really share a lot of the same code. [18:46] SmithX: there's a library for developing apt tools called "libapt" that all the apt tools use as their basis. [18:46] Chousuke: Oh, so aptitude isn't just simply a front end to apt--it's actually another frontend to dpkg? [18:47] Hey everyone [18:47] SmithX: I suppose, yes. but it's also an APT frontend because it uses libapt :) [18:47] Chousuke: I still say it's confusing, but it makes more sense now [18:47] aptitude - high-level interface to the package manager [18:47] apt - Advanced Package Tool [18:47] synaptic - graphical management of software packages [18:47] SmithX, apt uses dpkg - they're not the same thing [18:47] how do i change my gateway IP from the cmd line? [18:47] wb mook_ [18:47] ok linux im back [18:47] SmithX: when people say "apt" they usually mean apt-get and other tools [18:47] ty ty [18:48] azlon, sudo route add -net default gw $IP_ADDRESS [18:48] mook_: any luck? [18:48] I want to copy old VHS tapes to my computer. I just found an old Pinnacle TV card in my drawer. What program can I use to copy the videos to disk? [18:48] yeah everything is diffrent now but you know whare im at so... [18:48] Chousuke: It's also confusing because each tool has several subtools, each with huge manpages. apt-get, apt-file, dpkg-query, etc etc. [18:48] SmithX: but APT in reality refers to a library of tools for handling dependencies and repositories, and both apt-get and aptitude are APT frontends [18:48] Chousuke: you need a ph.d in ubuntu packagement! [18:48] unop, it says gw: Unknown host [18:48] mook_: what are you in now? [18:48] package management* [18:48] SmithX: DEBIAN, I repeat. [18:48] gravity: ah, sorry, right--debian [18:49] * LinuxGold wishes this debate would stop. [18:49] still no listing for that ati driver sadly [18:49] unop, hold on... do i type $IP_ADDRESS or do i type the ip address i want to put in there? [18:49] go to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:49] SmithX: package management *is* a complex problem :) [18:49] im not in anything just chat and kbuntu [18:49] mook_: what do you mean, you are not in X yet? [18:49] azlon, you substitute your IP address there - off course [18:49] diddy: Many of those things can be founds at fsfdirectory.org [18:49] SmithX: but most of the time you really only need to concern yourself with one of the apt tools [18:49] I'm used to Arch Linux, which just has pacman, but I never did anything too advanced [18:49] mook_: the debate part was directed to those arguing about apt, dpkg, etc [18:49] azlon, or rather, the IP address of your gateway [18:49] SmithX: I think I've used dpkg manually about five times :P [18:50] oh ok [18:50] unop, ok, thats what i thought... i put my ip address in there and it says "gw: unknown host" [18:50] unop, i am running Ubuntu server if that makes a difference... but i dont think it does [18:50] vigo: That site doesn't load. [18:50] diddy: Look them up at FSFDirectory, then see if there is a corresponding pkg in the repos [18:50] mook_: don't tell me details, is there anything coming out of this command: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:50] azlon, try. sudo route add default gw $IP_ADDRESS [18:50] LinuxGold: there's really no argument. SmithX is asking good questions and I'm trying to answer. [18:50] diddy: one moment [18:51] azlon, btw - this is all documented in the route manpage [18:51] yes [18:51] LinuxGold: yes, I'm not debating--just trying to understand the differences b/w the tools [18:51] unop, is that man route? [18:51] azlon, right [18:51] SmithX, Chousuke my apologies. [18:51] Can I install ubuntu 9.04 64bit on an old Pentium4 2.4GHz? (32-bit only) [18:51] anyone got any idea if it's possible to use the last legacy ati driver on jaunty? [18:52] diddy: here is a link: http://directory.fsf.org/ [18:52] hello [18:52] mook_: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup.mook [18:52] MOUD: You can try but in the conclusion, you won't be able to. :< [18:52] mook_: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:52] unop, does it say how to set the DNS as well? [18:52] MOUD: nope.. 64bit ubuntu needs a 64bit processor [18:52] mook_: /etc/init.d/kdm restart [18:52] Would it be bad to stop gparted in the middle of moving a partition to the right of disk? [18:52] azlon, no, you set DNS servers in the /etc/resolv.conf file [18:52] Chousuke: so, what is the most widely used package management tool? apt-, aptitude, synaptic? [18:52] *the [18:52] RPG_Master: probably [18:52] i'm looking for a 'light' music player for ubuntu, something like winamp (i know of xmms, but i can't get it to work...) [18:52] :( I really don't want to Download a 700MB file. -.- [18:52] ifdown: interface veth0 not configured [18:53] SmithX: apt-* is probably the most widely used one. [18:53] EvaLuaTe: try audacious [18:53] ok that just took me to prompted after i put in password [18:53] veth0 *is* configured... :/ [18:53] !winamp [18:53] winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use beep-media-player or xmms as alternative. [18:53] SmithX: apt-* probably, but you should just use the one you like best. [18:53] !info audacious | EvaLuaTe [18:53] EvaLuaTe: audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-4ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 1139 kB, installed size 3868 kB [18:53] how do i edit a file from command line? emacs or something like that [18:53] azlon: The simplest editor is 'nano [18:53] azlon: pico, nano, vi, emacs... lots of options [18:53] azlon, nano is probably the easies to use - but yea, emacs works [18:53] !editors | azlon [18:53] azlon: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [18:53] Chousuke, gravity: is apt used because of a simple command interface, or because it does a better job? [18:53] Slart: thanks, i'll have a look at those... [18:54] does Clamav remove Windows viruses? [18:54] SmithX: Because it's the simplest one. [18:54] SmithX: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkgtools.en.html === rave is now known as KarlDE [18:54] MOUD: I don't think so, no.. detect and quarantine/delete I think [18:54] SmithX: debian actually used to have a more complex frontend to dpkg prior to apt, called dselect. [18:54] SmithX: Synaptic is a GUI app. Aptitude uses a ncurses interface. And apt -- apt-get install packagename, done. [18:54] Slart: What about right before it moves on to the next step? (like after it finishes moving it all to the right its going to add 6gigs to the partition) [18:54] awesome! got my internet connection on my server now! [18:54] kjhkjhjk [18:54] SmithX: but fortunately it's gone nowadays [18:55] Chousuke: oh yeah! dselect was the other one I was reading about earlier [18:55] i'm looking for a sleek, light, 12-14" laptop that is fully supported by Ubuntu (suspend, resume, webcam, audio, etc). Any recommendations? [18:55] mook_: any luck? [18:55] no i need to get the gui like on a client system... sudo apt-get install... gui? [18:55] Hi. I've got a Sony Vaio VGN-Z11XN laptop with a NVIDIA 9300M GS video card. Administration-hardware drivers tell me to enable drivers, but when i did this before compiz stopped working and ubuntu started in low resolution mode. How could i get these drivers to work (so i could run games and configure a TV to work)? [18:55] RPG_Master: I wouldn't kill gparted before it's finished.. if there is a cancel button that might be a little bit safer.. but I would be careful about using that too === Omlet is now known as Omlet_Away [18:55] gold it took me to prompt after i put pass word in [18:55] vigo, thx but I would need a tutorial as well. [18:55] mook_: it means that it is successful [18:56] Slart: yeah I was referring to the cancel button... === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [18:56] have any of you sucessfully installed ati/fglrx on a custom kernel? I made kernel 2.6.30-4 , but it does not seem to work on that system. I tried to "activate" it through device manager, but it didn't want to go [18:56] ok but do i still need the ati driver ? [18:56] Slart: but does it really find viruses on it? [18:56] mook_: don't worry about the ATI driver for now. [18:56] MOUD: yes... it finds windows viruses [18:56] diddy: Find the package that you feel is best, then search for it in Synaptic, docs are usually in with the packages. [18:56] Chousuke: what's the apt- command to upgrade the whole system? [18:56] are you in X right now? [18:57] I know in pacman it was pacman -Syu [18:57] this is the link to my website : http://82.81.49.7/webexperts/ and this is the tool i used to check : http://validator.w3.org/ [18:57] Slart: thanks [18:57] mook_: Remember I jumped in middle [18:57] i guese so [18:57] hm. my XF86AudioLower/RaiseVolume bindings have stopped having any effect on volume. notification shows change, but the mixer isn't moved. pulseaudio 0.9.14 on jaunty. [18:57] SmithX: apt-get full-upgrade nowadays I think [18:57] SmithX: Probably apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade === rwhitby` is now known as rwhitby_ [18:57] SmithX: or just apt-get upgrade [18:57] If I have multiple network cards, is there a way to restrict one connection to only local traffic? [18:57] mook_: can you see drop down menu and all that? [18:57] gold im going to asume i am [18:57] Chousuke, gravity: thanks. I think I've run out of apt questions. I'll read the webpage Chousuke gave me [18:58] how do i install the desktop gui? [18:58] !gui [18:58] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [18:58] Where can I find a definition for "provides" in dpkg? As used for example in http://vmlinux.org/cgi-bin/dwww?type=runman&location=dpkg-gencontrol/1 [18:58] yes but it apears im still in a terminal nothing specail about this window yet \ [18:58] SmithX: it explains the same stuff a bit more in depth. :) [18:58] marksman_: there's very little you can [18:58] marksman_: there's very little you can't do.. how do it is another question =) [18:58] mook_: like DOS without GUI stuff right? [18:58] azlon: [k;x]ubuntu-desktop [18:58] so if i do sudo apt-get install gnome it will install the desktop gui? [18:58] oh [18:58] apt-get install xubuntu [18:59] Slart: what about some sort of firewall rules? [18:59] marksman_: I would look into iptables.. or you could perhaps do something with the routing tables [18:59] Hi. I've got a Sony Vaio VGN-Z11XN laptop with a NVIDIA 9300M GS video card. Administration-hardware drivers tell me to enable drivers, but when i did this before compiz stopped working and ubuntu started in low resolution mode. How could i get these drivers to work (so i could run games and configure a TV to work)? [18:59] no its got the gui bit just like a terminal you know copy paste that crap [18:59] Slart: any id3ea on where to start? I haven't used iptables much (read at all) [19:00] mook_: gimp and see if gimp shows up [19:00] when runing windows xp in virtualbox ose...i go into full screen mode...but xp is still a small window in the midle of the screen..is there away around that? === vic is now known as Guest14735 [19:00] command: gimp [19:00] marksman_: I would start with the routing table.. try running "route" in a terminal.. it should show you the current settings [19:00] it popped up loadin now [19:00] mook_: ok you are in X alright, what's the problem? [19:00] whoa [19:01] ubuntu-desktop is the full ubuntu system isnt it? [19:01] Chousuke: is there an apt command to find/remove all dangling dependencies? [19:01] i already installed ubuntu server, now i just want the gui... is that ubuntu-desktop? [19:02] azlon: ubuntu-desktop is the complete gnome-desktop enviroment.. [19:02] guys, I have an Xpress 200 IGP radeon and only the open source drivers are an option, but the performance really blows in even the simplest 3D games like tux racer, desktop effects and shizzle work perfectly, any ideas anyone? [19:02] ubuntu-desktop is the GUI front end [19:02] um im a noob trying to figure out wine i need the driver so i can install games on her pc she has a diffrent video card that the problem but i might need the driver not sure if its gonna run under wine or not [19:02] SmithX: I think aptitude can do that but I'm not sure of the exact command [19:02] can i just install gnome-desktop? [19:04] anyone in here know about autossh? i'm trying to figure out how to deal with the -M argument for a monitoring port. i am attempting to create a reverse ssh tunnel, does the port I specify with -M have to be forwarded on both ends? [19:04] mook_: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup.mook /etc/X11/xorg.conf && /etc/init.d/kdm restart [19:04] i can't enable my Yahoo! account, it says 'error number 1013' [19:04] what is the command to update 8.04 to the next distribution? [19:04] azlon: I don;t there there is a gnome-desktop package.. The complete desktop is called ubuntu-desktop [19:04] !apt-upgrade [19:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-upgrade [19:04] I would also like to know, does moving a 140gig partition to the left really stress my hard drive? [19:04] hrmm [19:04] mook_: wine-related issues is pretty complicated for a newbies. [19:05] i can't enable my Yahoo! account, it says 'error number 1013' [19:05] how to enable? [19:05] can i put in my ubuntu 9.04 x68 desktop cd and install on server x64? im guessing no [19:05] Guest40366: you are in #ubuntu, not yahoo [19:05] Pirate_Hunter: you can update the sources.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list to the new release and do a dist-upgrade.. [19:05] i use yahoo sometimes [19:05] or is it already on the ubuntu server cd? [19:06] RPG_Master: What sterss, it's just moving 140 GB across the drive. That means nothing to todays drives. [19:06] LinuxGold: I think he has problems with Yahoo on Pidgin. [19:06] biovore, just saw notes on that its not advisable [19:06] azlon: need internet to download packages.. Server ISO is fairly sparse. [19:06] azlon: gui is an added security risk to ubuntu-server, you add desktop on your own. [19:06] Guest40366: Go to pidgin.im and install the newest Pirgin version from there. [19:06] k [19:06] grawity: ah [19:07] still working gold [19:07] Pirate_Hunter: Worked here.. Thats all I can say.. If the say is not advisable for beginners.. then so be it.. [19:07] does anyone know the easiest way to customize a liveusb install? [19:07] every time I google, the instructions always look really lengthy [19:07] why are the latest LXDE files not available in jaunty repos? [19:07] pidgin can updated to the newest version from the settings, can't it? [19:08] ok its done [19:08] all I want to do is modify some config files on my liveusb. [19:08] LinuxGold, i want to set up two raids and thought server would be better for that... would Desktop work just as well? [19:08] SmithX: Its very lengthy and complicated.. I just do a install of ubuntu onto a memory stick.. might be simpler. [19:08] grawity: I thought I read that hard drives can only write so many times before they start to fail... or maybe that SDDs.... [19:08] RPG_Master: Hard drives are very reliable. [19:08] RPG_Master: At least magnetic ones. [19:09] biovore: shouldn't there be some way to open up the live cd image, modify a file, and close it back up? [19:09] grawity: Well now I feel better :) [19:09] azlon: I suggest that you learn how linux works first before you try GUI stuff [19:09] azlon: yes.. there the same stuff.. one just has a gui and the other dosn't. Both have the same packages and source codes base. [19:09] im gonna look for the driver [19:09] RPG_Master: Flash-based devices -- USB pendrives, SSD drives -- do have a maximum limit of writes per sector. BUT this limit is again very high. [19:09] RPG_Master: And even _then_, if it was a SSD, you are _not_ writing the 140 gigs to the _same_ sector -- you are writing them each to their own. === jon is now known as Guest7502 [19:10] hey guys for some reason my when I log in firefox keeps opening up as if the session was saved but it doesnt seem to be ...anyone having this issue? [19:10] SmithX: there is. But working with the ISO installer/live CD is a pain in the butt. [19:10] RPG_Master: So even if it was a SSD, the overall write count would only decrease by a few -- not any more as if you just copied a few huge videos to it. [19:10] is there any general electronic circuit schematic for SSD in general on line? [19:10] RPG_Master: And magnetic HDs are too reliable to worry. [19:10] biovore, ok, desktop it is... [19:11] grawity: Thanks for sharing your knowledge :) [19:11] biovore: the problem is that I don't have a reguler ubuntu installation. All I have it the liveusb, which I created from a livecd [19:11] ok gold now i know im in x [19:11] I added an alias to .bashrc, is there a way to re-read .bashrc without having to log out? [19:11] n2diy: Run 'source ~/.bashrc' [19:12] SmithX: there is a file on the ISO called something like filesystem.squashfs you need to loop mount that file, change it.. and re-build the ISO if you want a live cd bootable thing. [19:12] n2diy type "bash" [19:12] biovore: what I think I'm going to biovore: is it possible to do that while using the liveusb at the same time? [19:12] ... that too [19:12] nocleader: That will spawn _another_ instance of bash, instead of just making the existing one reload bashrc. [19:13] gravity, nocleader, thanks, that was easy enough. [19:13] grawity: first thing that came to mind:) .. I knew about the other; but I'd have had to google it:) [19:13] SmithX: nope.. I think the fastest method ot have a USB bootable ubuntu system is to do an install to the USB flash drive.. Then most machine can just boot off the USB drive and the root drive. [19:14] (As the root drive) [19:14] biovore: well, there is a tool called remastersys that I was looking at, but even that is more than I wanted since I just want to change one file [19:15] SmithX: what the 1 file you want to change? === rubatharisan is now known as Qubexy_ === harjot_ is now known as helpme [19:16] biovore: I want to add my vimrc === helpme is now known as helpmeplz [19:16] SmithX: the root filesystem for the live image is a disk image call filesystem.squashfs under the casper-folder on the liveCD. [19:17] anyone? autossh? [19:17] argh! i installed the UNR on my lappy (Jaunty desktop) but when I use the switcher to switch to UNR mode, my panels disappear until I click on 'em...then they turn black and buggy [19:17] SmithX: you will need to have a running linux box, and loop mount the filesystem image to a directory. === dac is now known as Dacvak [19:17] NemesisD: autossh? you talking RSA passwordless keys? [19:17] biovore: I can do that === helpmeplz is now known as me [19:18] it's almost like UNR mode is trying to use compositing but can't...i have effects running on medium in Gnome mode just fine [19:18] SmithX: yeah.. so all you should have to do is modify the filesystem.squashfs image. and it should stick.. === me is now known as annoyance_ [19:18] Uh, I have a really weird problem. In firefox, some of the pictures loaded on the site have the hue changed to be blueish... [19:18] how do i change the background color of gnome terminal to black? [19:18] I don't really know how to explain it. [19:19] biovore: so anything I change while loop mounted is permanent after unmounting? [19:19] zyk: Its under preferances.. color-schemes.. Un-check use system color scheme. [19:19] my xf86audioraise/lowervolume keys have stopped having any effect. they show notification but do not affect volume and nothing is changing in alsamixer/gnome mixer. pulseaudio 0.9.14, jaunty... [19:19] SmithX: should be.. assuming the filesystem image, A has free space and B, is read-writable. [19:19] Like, I don't know if this will show up weird for you, but this is how my pictures are loading: http://imgur.com/BgigH [19:20] Can someone help? It's really strange. I don't know what could have caused it. [19:20] biovore : i don't see color-schemes under preferences [19:20] zyk: Edit->Profile Preferenced->Colors tab [19:20] disregard i think i fixed it [19:20] hi [19:21] I have this rule in my .procmailrc : http://pastebin.com/m74296773 It works well but it still delivers the message afterwards. That is: just a body-less message. Actually this could be deleted. How can I do that? [19:21] Dacvak: Not sure whats going on with that, just intressed in what video drive your running.. Could be a bug.. [19:22] 24 256 GB SSD into raid -- hmm... interesting and useless [19:22] pylunis : cool got it thanks [19:22] biovore: Yeah, I have no idea why that would do that. [19:23] Dacvak: is it on flash video or just on jpg, pngs, gifs, tiffs etc.. === janne is now known as Skiessi [19:24] sorry, got disconnected [19:24] SmithX: np [19:25] biovore: that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! I don't know why all the guides online are so complicated [19:25] SmithX: I only know because I been messing with it my self.. [19:25] my xf86audioraise/lowervolume keys have stopped having any effect. they show notification but do not affect volume and nothing is changing in alsamixer/gnome mixer. pulseaudio 0.9.14, jaunty, gnome 2.26.1...gnome-settings-daemon shows up as a Client in "paman" when using xf86audioraisevolume key, but doesn't affect audio.. [19:26] I am trying to kill a process with kill pid Why it is not being killed? [19:26] marcelo_: try kill -9 [19:26] marcelo_: could be any number of reasons... use kill -9 [19:26] biovore: you bastage :P [19:26] LXDE PPA DOES UPDATE TO lxde LATEST FILES WHY? [19:27] biovore: It seems like it's just on literally random jpegs [19:27] Like, some work, some just don't. [19:27] I'm trying to isolate the problem. [19:27] sorry about caps [19:27] Berzerker: didn't you tell me something about write support to an osx partition from Ubuntu the other day? do l need to disable journaling in osx for Ubuntu to get write support? [19:27] Dacvak: Yeah, tring to figure out whats triggering it will be usefull for the bug squashers to help the find where it might be in the millions of line of code. === inkoguto is now known as DaZ [19:28] It's insanely weird. [19:28] Anyway, I'm on a laptop and have a Radeon 3200 [19:28] Dacvak: this firefox 3.5 ? [19:28] quit [19:29] try /quit [19:29] does the livecd use swap if it finds it on the computer? === arand_ is now known as arand [19:29] I want to create a restricted shell, but, rbash is not restricted enough. I want to not allow any program to create or delete any file outside currect directory. Can I do it? [19:29] Yeah, it's Firefox 3.5 [19:30] "Shiretoko" === darkorb- is now known as darkorb [19:30] arand: I am not sure. I don't think it does automatically. You can tell it to once your booted up using the swapon [19:30] biovore: ok, thanks. [19:31] nsahoo: That is something outside the capabilities of a shell. You might manage to do something like that with chroot, or AppArmor, but generally this isn't an easy thing to do. Why do you want to do t his, anyway? [19:31] nsahoo: Normal Linux file permissions restrict writing to homedir and /tmp, anyway. [19:31] grawity: trying to run a program that is possibly rouge [19:31] nsahoo: Writing an AppArmor profile might help. [19:32] grawity: so, I should create another user and run it as that? [19:32] nsahoo: Yes, another user would be the easiest way to do it. (You could even try using the existing one -- 'nobody') [19:33] grawity: didn't know of nobody, does it have a random password or something? why is this user there? for temporary user needs? [19:34] nsahoo: It doesn't have any password. It is mostly designed for daemons. (Though most of them get their own accounts nowadays.) [19:35] :LIST [19:35] nsahoo: You might try 'sudo -u nobody -i' to get a shell running as 'nobody'. [19:35] brb -- errand calls. [19:35] banshee --next [19:35] err, wrong window [19:36] any good dvd burner for ubuntu 9.04 [19:36] HELP [19:37] !ask [19:37] 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. :-) [19:37] grawity: thanks, that worked out very well. I was probably being too careful. [19:37] is there any way to get the update files from another machine? for example, i have 4 ubuntu machines but i dont want to download the updates 4 times. can i have just 1 machine download them then have the others get the updates from that one? [19:37] bhaskar_: basero or k3b are my faviorites === DWonderly2 is now known as DWonderly [19:38] azlon: Apt stores its package cache in /var/cache/apt/archives/ -- so just copy that. [19:38] ok, cool [19:38] ^ yes [19:38] azlon: There are things such as apt-proxy, too, but this is the simplest method. [19:39] azlon, the easest way is to use apt-proxy [19:39] I set up u dual boot Win XP and Ubuntu however I'd like to use the internet on both operating systems. Is this possible? As of now only Ubuntu has a connection. [19:39] russell__: It is.

[19:39] thank you [19:39] ok [19:40] i have never tried to view a folder on another ubuntu machine over a network [19:40] Tell me please if ubuntu is needed swap partition? My swap is emptly everytime [19:40] i brought up Network, but only see my Windows machines... how can i connect to another ubuntu machine? [19:40] any program like turbo 4.5 inlinux [19:40] Usually it does not need swap, but sometimes yes. [19:40] Hi! [19:40] or borland [19:40] azlon: The other Ubuntu machines need to have Samba installed. [19:41] bhaskar_: gcc, the C compiler. [19:41] Besogon: How do you know it's always empty? [19:41] Besogon: when you run out of RAM, your machine will use swap. [19:41] Hi, please advise how best to divide the hard disk (320Gb) to install and how to choose the file system ext3 or ext4 [19:41] gravity: are i have to install or they are already installed [19:41] whose stupid idea was it to not make UNR it's own session? :/ [19:42] is there a channel for the UNR? [19:42] DWonderly: good question [19:42] How can I find out whether Ubuntu recognized my TV card or not? I just installed it. [19:42] pylunis: its gnome.. with a pluggin.. so its the same window manager.. [19:42] bhaskar_: gcc already comes with Ubuntu - but you may need to install some additional libraries... for beginners, what comes with Ubuntu is enough. [19:42] <__theIdiotBox> whats that? DWonderly [19:42] diddy: sudo lshw [19:43] biovore: regardless, it should still be it's own session [19:43] can anyone help me ? [19:43] __theTdiotBox: It's the Ubuntu Netbook Remix [19:43] <__theIdiotBox> i guess thats more than enough: grawity [19:43] aqrogE: I would just do the guided method and put everything on 1 partition with a swap of about 2 GB. [19:43] gravity one more question what i have to do for matlab as i am electronics student [19:43] <__theIdiotBox> google dint help you? : DWonderly [19:43] bhaskar_: I have it working here :-) [19:44] <__theIdiotBox> get octave: bhaskar_ [19:44] octave doesn't do everything EE need. [19:44] grawity: heterosankari: When I open gnome-system-monitor I see that swap is emptly [19:44] do they work like matlav [19:44] <__theIdiotBox> pretty much everything [19:44] __theIdoitbox: It's so I can help others with UNR problems... I have had NO problems with URN at all... just looking forward to what it is goign to look like in 9.10 [19:44] bhaskar_: all the basic stuff is there.. if you are doing control stuff and filter design.. you need matlab.

[19:45] gnome-terminal's giving me some issues with unicode support... the character encoding is set to unicode, but non-breaking spaces display as '?'. a friend using urxvt did the same thing to get a non-breaking space, and his actually displayed. anyone know what's up with that?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:46] <__theIdiotBox> welcome to #ubuntu IRC: phillipblack [19:46] thanx for the kind information [19:46] <__theIdiotBox> ask right away: phillipblack [19:46] __theIdiotBox: Usually you put the nick _before_ the message.

[19:48] ok, i am able to view another machine on my network... what folder am i seeing by default? the home folder? [19:48] diddy: let me take a look.

I'll have to try it again.. [19:51] awesome, thanks [19:51] azlon: And users (in GNOME, at least) can create shares right in Nautilus, there's a context-menu option. [19:51] Thanks Guys.. using 9.04 on a USB Thumb drive is great! [19:51] azlon: I would suggest sticking with system-config-samba though, as it creates less confusion. [19:51] <__theIdiotBox> GeeLo: thats the power of linux!!! [19:52] Somebody can help me? I installed some script for nautilus, but I can see the list of script only If I run nautilus as root, It's ok? I think I wrong something during installatiion of script...

Thank You, Have a great weekend.. Thank You. [19:52] <__theIdiotBox> Besogon: you sys does need to use swap [19:52] I have a pinnacle tv card in there also. Just installed it. [19:52] Besogon: Because the system has not needed it yet. How much RAM do you have? [19:52] n2I have a pinnacle tv card in there also. Just installed it. [19:53] Besogon: probably because your not using at of ram.. [19:53] n2diy, I have a pinnacle tv card in there also. Just installed it. [19:53] <__theIdiotBox> Besogon: you might be having enough memory/RAM [19:53] diddy: do you have a make and model for the pinnacle? [19:54] My RAM is about 1G. So do we need swap at all? [19:54] Besogon, for hibernate and suspend, yes [19:54] Somebody can help me? I installed some script for nautilus, but I can see the list of script only If I run nautilus as root, It's ok? I think I wrong something during installatiion of script... [19:54] n2diy, unfortunately not. I thought I could find it out via some command. I didn't use the TV card for a long time and threw the box away. I don't recall what model it is. [19:55] gwildor: Suspend does not use swap.

[19:56] * zaggynl douses rikkardo [19:56] diddy: ok, I didn't see anything about pinnacle, but it could be listed by make and model? You can get that off the card from the FCC ID#, and google. [19:56] grawity, yeah, realized that i didnt even mean to type it...till after i posted it, thanks for clarifying for me [19:56] spO: Not necessarily. [19:56] rikkardo: what was the question? [19:56] I installed some script for nautilus, but I can see the list of script only If I run nautilus as root, It's ok? I think I wrong something during installatiion of script... [19:56] dunno if right place to ask: I currently have BOINC manager version 3.2.18 and want to upgrade to 3.4.5. Im really a noob to ubuntu and dont know how to upgrade this software, any help?

I have a USB device called "USB Digital Stere Sound Box". It's basically a USB cable with an external sound card on it. Monday I'd like to use it on a computer with Ubuntu on it. Will it work? [19:58] Isn't it ~/.nautilus/scripts ? [19:58] biovre: u was telling me unix version of matlab.Will it work in jaunty [19:58] I installed scripts in /root/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts [19:58] *stereo, not stere [19:59] rikkardo: that would explain it.. [19:59] what is the file manager called? nautalus? [19:59] ugh [19:59] azlon: Nautilus, if you meean the GNOME manager. [19:59] how do i navigate to a samba folder? [19:59] rikkardo: try instead of root.. try /home//.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ [19:59] azlon: smb:// [19:59] azlon: Depending on what samba folder you mean, it is either /etc/samba or smb://machinename/ [19:59] I have to reinstalled there? [20:00] rikkardo: yes.. its installed only for root. [20:00] grawity, i keep getting an error [20:00] Does Ubuntu crash if AHCI mode is enabled post-install, like Windows does? My DVD drive won't boot from Linux CDs when AHCI is enabled, but I want to have it on. [20:00] Ubuntu Netbook Remix is terrific, thanks for all the great work guys. [20:00] Shard_: should be fine assuming you don't have a buggy AHCI controller. [20:00] i type smb://mini-me/ and it says bash: smb://mini-me: No such file or directory [20:00] OK, I'll try [20:01] azlon: on the cmd-line its a different story. you need to samba shares like you do a cdrom or other media. [20:01] hrmm [20:01] n2diy, there is no such thing on the card. There is only a sticker with a barcode some long number just underneath it Pinnacle systems GmbH and some other long number followed by (h) [20:01] Hello there.

[20:02] Should I build newer ntfs-3g or something like that? [20:02] biovore, i want to copy my apt-get shares to my machine i just built but i cant copy to /var because it is a root folder... [20:02] azlon: sftp is the best bet [20:02] i ran nautilus using sudo and it still didnt work [20:02] hrmm [20:02] sftp [20:02] ok [20:02] azlon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:02] or scp [20:02] hi [20:02] I just bought an HP Mini and booted it up and saw the Windows installation, immediately jumped over to ubu and dl'ed UNR. Quick download, dd'ed to a flash drive and away I went. Aside from a couple secondary installs (NIC, Sound) it was perfect. [20:03] i love ubuntu [20:03] revstray: yay.. [20:03] command for kde install [20:03] but i may try arch [20:03] bhaskar_: kde desktop? [20:03] hello! how can i port forward deluge? [20:03] are mibbit users not allowed in #ubuntu? [20:03] n2diy, I have a /dev/video0 so that means that it was recognized, right? [20:03] just like any other app [20:03] yeah biovre: using ubuntu [20:03] shouldn't xmodmap be executed when a gnome session is started if one has a ~/.xmodmaprc file? It doesn't seem to be the case on my 9.04 installation. [20:04] So I am wondering, where does one configure the Windows key to open the UNR window? :) [20:04] n2diy, at least that is what it says in the wiki I am just looking at. [20:04] bhaskar_: apt-get install kde-desktop or kde4-desktop not sure which it is atm.. [20:04] what is better kde/ xubuntu on my jaunty [20:05] ok so in UNR mode, if I enable compiz effects I get transparency but nothing draws properly...panels are invisible until I point to where a launcher should be, which causes the launcher to draw. then i click a button on the main menu and it'll show, but it's all black. in normal gnome, compiz effects work fine, but if I run something in openGL mode (like cairo-dock) i get black backgrounds where it should be transparent. system [20:05] ->administration->hardware drivers shows no other drivers for my video chip. what the hell do I do here? [20:05] pylunis: what graphics card? [20:05] What program can I use to record TV with my TV card? [20:05] I'll try again :) Hi laptop users - anyone here use TuxOnIce with Jaunty? [20:05] xawtv ? [20:06] bhaskar_: awesome should be best [20:06] biovore: Radeon Xpress 200M? [20:06] biovore: that's what lspci calls it, anyway [20:06] pylunis: theres your problem.. :-P [20:06] pelmen: what is awesome [20:06] hello people, can someone help with wifi? [20:06] biovore: what, exactly? [20:06] scorpy: which wifi device? [20:06] well you asked which desktop/window manager is better i recommended "awesome" google it [20:07] pelmen: and how i will get it [20:07] pylunis: I had that card here for a bit.. I chucked it.. dosn't work with a dam on linux.. [20:07] biovore: you sure? it's an integrated chip. [20:07] biovore: laptop, btw [20:07] I think I'll repeat my question: I'm on 9.04 and I'm having a problem with backing up my files from an NTFS partition to an USB HDD which is NTFS as well. I'm getting the "No space left on device" error. Should I build newer ntfs-3g or something like that? [20:07] well i just installed ubuntu se alongside windows on my laptop and it doesnt seem to be picking up a wifi connnection which is normally constant in my area [20:08] yup.. same here.. dell E1705. You can replace it on this laptop. [20:08] biovore: lucky bastard. well, any reason i couldn't just pull the latest fglrx from AMD's site? [20:09] when i select the share tab in properties, does anyone know where the sharing config is stored, i've looked in smb.conf but it makes no mention of the folder which i have shared using the GUI, but the folder is available for sharing [20:09] pylunis: can give it a shot.. always did weird things for me.. [20:09] biovore: well hell, here goes [20:09] pelmen: where do i get awesome [20:09] wireless lan 802.11b/g [20:09] bhaskar_: google it [20:09] "awesome wm" [20:09] !google [20:09] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [20:10] hmm :) [20:10] anyon have a samsung cameraphone? [20:10] gartral: i910 here [20:10] bhaskar_: http://awesome.naquadah.org/ [20:10] hello :) can you advise me how to listen to music in .cue image with linux players? [20:11] funalien: .cue is a disk image.. not a media file.. [20:11] hi guys, how can i shared files between ubuntu and ubuntu using LAN? [20:11] If I remove a repository from my /etc/apt/sources.list, how can I make sure all the packages from that repository are uninstalled? [20:12] guinness: sftp/scp is the easiest.. apt-get install openssh-server on both sides.. [20:12] biovore, but windows users can listen with foobar [20:12] biovore: mine says "SCH-U340" [20:12] hi guys [20:12] guinness: in naultilus do a sftp://@ipaddress:/home/ [20:13] or, is there an apt-log where I can see the latest operations I have done? [20:13] n2diy, I have a picture it works! xawtv works! *happy* But I don't have a sound. :( [20:13] funalien : you need to mount the cue image [20:13] biovore: .cue isn't even a disk image - it's more like an index for a separate .bin image - still many players support it. [20:13] biovore, guinness: Correction: sftp://username@ipaddress/home/username [20:13] funalien : it is probably a cd or dvd image [20:13] biovore : more detail please [20:13] Barnabas, now I'm going to try this. Thanks [20:14] guinness: openssh is a secure shell / file transfer system. you will need to install openssh-server on both systems.. [20:14] Barnabas, grawity it is an index file for flac [20:14] hello [20:14] kaka [20:14] biovore : okay please wait [20:14] biovore: you don't need openssh-server on the client system, unless the other side is connecting as a client as well [20:14] Any simplier (or via GUI way) to disable the system "beep" in 9.04 besides: 'echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' ?

[20:15] hi. i tried asking about this in #windows but noone was able to help. basically, i'm trying to disable vsync on windows vista, ati radeon hd3200 gfx card on a laptop [20:15] guys, i got a notice everything i want to boot to ubuntu [20:15] i heard there was some known issues with vsync on vista [20:15] dzitij: this is #ubuntu [20:15] but i wasnt able to find any solutions [20:15] but i cant read it ..its only about 2sec..not enough time to read [20:15] ectospasm, obviously. but i figured someone here might happen to know about this issue [20:16] anyone hav idea how am i going to settle that [20:16] dzitij: you might try #ubuntu-offtopic [20:16] guinness: once you got it installed, you can go into nautilus and type "sftp://username@ipaddress:/home/username/" in the location bar and it should connect. [20:16] Barnabas, grawity, in that .cue file split time of every song is showed [20:16] ok [20:16] hi everyone can someone explain me how to install ff 3.5.2 on intrepid by the tar.bz2 file? [20:16] biovore : how can i know the ip addresss? [20:16] amonxz_: I would suggest using the Ubuntuzilla tool, it does that for you. [20:17] guinness: I ussually open a shell and type "ifconfig" [20:17] ubuntuzilla never heard of it [20:17] amonxz_, why not just use reps? [20:17] guinness: or you can go to whatismyip.com [20:17] amonxz_: http://ubuntuzilla.sf.net/ [20:17] http://pastebin.com/d219ee4bb ::: somebody help me to get kde [20:17] localhost works too prolly [20:17] has anyone been using projectM ?

[20:19] biovore : sth like 192.168.1.2 or else? [20:19] ema [20:20] guinness: yeah.. thats looks about right for something on the backside of a internet router thing. [20:20] guinness: need to know the ip of the machine your going to connect to. [20:20] funalien: This page I found says: cp filename.flac filename-backup-just-in-case.flac; sudo apt-get install shntool; shntool split -f filename.cue -o flac filename.flac [20:20] Ok, alright. If you don't want to answer it's ok. I'm going to build NTFS-3G then. But _at least_ tell me if it's ok to do the default configure , make , make install magic to it or does Ubuntu need something specific? [20:20] biovore : okay, what's next? [20:21] guinness: once you know the IP's on both sides.. [20:21] grawity, thanks) [20:21] guinness: open up nautilus (the file browser thing in gnome) [20:21] can someone help me? i have lil trouble with my screen resolution.

Ubuntu includes ntfs-3g compiled in, AFAIK.(If nobody answers, it means either a) nobody knows, b) nobody noticed.) [20:22] biovore : then? [20:22] JEEB: So you should not have to build anything - just mount -t ntfs-3g etc. [20:22] why won't freenode accept a SSL connection [20:22] guinness: you see the location bar? [20:22] biovore : yes [20:22] how do i extract the photos froma camera phone that registers as a wireless modem? [20:22] grawity: don't NTFS partitions go by ntfs-3g by default? Also, I talked about building because the current version I use for mounting gives me No space left on device [20:22] guinness: type this into it: sftp:// [20:23] i have trouble with screen resolution [20:23] GuidMorrow: The current ircd, Hyperion, does not support SSL connections. But ircd-seven (currently under development) will. Further questions in #freenode, please.

[20:26] tox2ik, preferences -> switch desktop mode [20:26] guinness: put in the right IP address.. maybe you told it to connect to your self..

Is that the possible cause? [20:33] i have version 4.2 [20:33] janholbo: i never bothered. to me its asking for problems [20:33] JanHolbo: youd have to encrypt the whole partition [20:33] but putting in the latest PPA didn't fix it, and there is some sort of patch that I have no idea how to apply.

[20:38] But my script needs root authority [20:38] The only option I see right now is to make the partition smaller make a new partition, copy some files resize, rinse and repeat ....

[20:41] i just download the iso , and burn it [20:41] from torrent [20:41] ipatrol6010: 1) Install emacs. [20:41] diddy, as someone said erlier, lsmos see what is using the module... [20:41] ragnarockangel: depends on the soundcard. i think alsa is brilliant [20:41] gwildor: are u sure i can print screen while the system boot? [20:41] and when i start to setup [20:41] bhaskar_: what happens if you try "sudo apt-get install awk" [20:41] gwildor: are u playing it didnt work i hve y all over terminal [20:41] it give me an error [20:41] There's an emacs folder, but it won't run [20:41] bhaskar_: what happens if you try "sudo apt-get install ark" [20:41] Error Read From CD [20:41] ipatrol6010: Ubuntu doesn't come with emacs by default (only nano, vi, and Gedit) [20:41] haf1ztang, OH...system boot... i assumed you meant when x was loading. [20:42] homovitruvius, thx. That links very interesting [20:42] ipatrol6010: run it from terminal is one way [20:42] ActionParsnip: My sound jack doesn't recognize and I have no idea how to apply the patch for it. [20:42] Is there a GNOME frontend for Emacs? [20:42] Is it pysdm that makes my Mac/Win partitions be located and mounted automatically? [20:42] ipatrol6010: sudo apt-get install emacs [20:42] gwildor: after i choose OS in the grub..then a msg comes out.. [20:42] ipatrol6010: you can use: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local [20:42] Ubuntu 9.04 will not respond to ctrl-d (for example, if I have a web server running like 'ruby script/server' when i run Jack 'jackd -d alsa' or whatever)...I instead have to alt-f4 out of the terminal...crashing the terminal each time. This has been this way ever since i install ubuntu. Is this a known bug or something? [20:42] biovore:http://pastebin.com/d66f1175a [20:42] ipatrol6010: put it above the exit line [20:42] it didnt work [20:42] What dir is used to install any programs /usr or /usr/local? [20:43] haf1ztang, sorry, we cant help without knowing what the message is [20:43] Besogon: Usually, programs from repository go to /usr/bin [20:43] gwildor: i think im going to use my hp camera [20:43] Besogon: Programs you compile from sources go to /usr/local/bin [20:43] haf1ztang, that will work [20:43] Besogon: /bin and /sbin are reserved for important system apps. [20:43] The Emacs command is working [20:43] grawity: thanks [20:43] unitxt_, ctrl-d closes a terminal for me...what are you expecting [20:43] gwildor: other than that? [20:43] is this error message from modprobe normal? [20:44] grawity: how to restart X? [20:44] hi there, [20:44] besoon: usr/bin is where the binary will go. much of the app will be in other locations [20:44] haf1ztang, lol, a different camera :P [20:44] gwildor: lol! [20:44] WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, it will be ignored in a future release. [20:44] hi lolek! [20:44] i've got a problem with brihtness on my lappie it's equipped with intel gma 945gme... [20:44] wizz: hi [20:44] ctrl-d doesn't close a terminal for me though, i have force it to close, crashing it. [20:44] any problem, lolek? [20:44] the problem is that neither the function keys, nor xbacklight is working... [20:44] ragnarockangel: add .conf to the end of the filename [20:45] got any ideas? how do I run a game like "The Sims 2" on a system like this? [20:45] hey linux gold you around bud ? [20:45] unitxt_, are you wanting it closed..... maybe im confused...whats wrong witht eh x in the corner? [20:45] lolek, there is a gnome panel applet.. [20:45] guldmorrow: check the wine appdb also check if the game devs have made a linux installer [20:45] gwildor: well yep, it is.. and it's not working [20:46] ok whats the command to find out what videocard im running with out cracking the case to look [20:46] ? [20:46] mook_: lspci | grep -i vga [20:46] unitxt_: try 'exit' [20:46] Is Ubuntu dev team actually aiming for a 10 second boot? [20:46] mook_: lspci | grep -i vga [20:46] lolek, maybe a power setting issue?... you may have it reduced there?!?! [20:46] ActionParsnip: I have two files named Alsa-base and Alsa-base.conf -- is it just saying I need to delete the one without .conf? [20:46] damn ninjad [20:46] Why must all sorts of stuff be done from the command line? Why can't a GUI be used for nearly everything? [20:46] ty ty [20:46] Ubuntu finds my HFS+ partition, but it is not in /etc/fstab. Is it in another config file? I need to make it mount automatically. [20:46] ipatrol6010, you didnt write the gui tool yet [20:46] ipatrol6010: because nobody likes clicking 1000000 to do something they could do in 1 line [20:46] ipatrol6010: Ubuntu is a Linux distribution. [20:46] gwildor: well no, i can set the brightness without any problem in bios, but after ubuntu start i can't change it ... [20:46] ipatrol6010: Linux is based on Unix. [20:46] ragnarockangel: i wouldnt delete any, try renaming instead [20:47] lolek, i meant ubuntu power settings [20:47] wierd nothin pops up [20:47] wish it would stop asking for my pw [20:47] ActionParsnip: one of them is blank -- the one w/out a .conf at the end [20:47] ipatrol6010: the gui doesnt give as much power as the terminal [20:47] mook_: srry, sudo lspci | grep -i vga [20:47] It's because the gearheads are fine with the CLI, but I dspise it [20:47] gwildor: well maybe, i dunno, but it's weird problem.. i found that there are some bugs reported in the launchpad.. but.. well [20:47] ipatrol6010: It is just recently that they started trying to be noob-friendly. But the primary target of Linux, and other Unix-based OSes, is still servers and computer-literate people. [20:47] mook_: OR just sudo lscpi and scroll through the list [20:47] Can someone tell me how to set up Evolution so that stay always in sync with my gmail? [20:47] lolek, well, it might have to do with those bugs.... [20:47] ipatrol6010: Ubuntu attempts to be newbie-friendly, but remember - someone has to _write_ those GUIs. [20:47] ipatrol6010: you came to OUR party...you are welcome to leave if you don't like it [20:48] mook_: sudo lshw -C display will also work [20:48] is there a force/ignore error command for apt-get? im dumping a huge list of remove xx package and want it to not stop on missing package/deps [20:48] lolek: i found that the guy that posted the bug, posted of course an alternate command to change the brightness ... i tried it.. but even that [20:48] grawity: lol... ubuntu is definitely NOT for servers :) [20:48] dbugger: Basically, create an IMAP account in Evolution. [20:48] lolek, make another post.. [20:48] mykola: There is Ubuntu Server. But I was talking about Linux in general. [20:48] Ubuntu should increase its mainstream appeal by writing more GUI programs and reducing dependance on the terminal [20:48] grawity: no matter how much wikipedia lies at you ;) [20:48] gwildor: well even with that (let's call it workaround), i couldn't get it working.. ;/ [20:48] ipatrol6010: It _is_ doing so. [20:48] mykola: I have actually used Ubuntu Server. (I prefer Debian though.) [20:48] ipatrol6010, you are free to write as many gui programs as you would like. [20:48] ipatrol6010: you're missing the point though. even if there was a GUI, alot of people would still use the command line [20:48] ipatrol6010: as you use linux you will see how limiting the gui is to get real things done [20:48] gwildor: well i hoped i will got it working without that... [20:49] .,././,. === kasia is now known as Guest14698 [20:49] debians a blast until i forget that you can't just -single it [20:49] WIndows and Mac never need the terminal to do anything [20:49] ipatrol6010: like the newly created gui for adding apt sources... requires like 7 clicks instead of copy/pasting 2 lines [20:49] grawity, the this is, I dont want the web-inbox to be emptied when I load all the new mails, but I want that if I erase one in evolution, it also erases in the web inbox [20:49] thanks guys i got the info i needed [20:49] I dont know how to achieve that [20:49] RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] [20:49] bhaskar_: not aw, ark [20:49] ipatrol6010: Windows is a completely different OS than Linux. Don't compare them. [20:49] ipatrol: that isn't entirely true. I don't see how you can ping in windows without the terminal... [20:49] ipatrol6010: also, irc is text based so it is extremely logical to give command based help [20:49] ipatrol6010, actually... they do have them... and they both are more powerfull than thr gui program. [20:50] ipatrol6010: there's a windows power shell that experienced admins use all the time [20:50] ipatrol6010, it would be much faster for you to learn something, than for someone else to write everything you want. [20:50] ipatrol6010: It is *only* *recently* that the *Ubuntu* project started trying to create a friendly Linux distribution. And they are still trying to do so. They are creating many GUI tools. [20:50] Well I applaud them for doing so [20:50] wow the driver is not listed lol [20:50] Oi [20:50] ipatrol: if you get into powershell you will find large numbers of systems and even local settings easy to use [20:50] mook_: :( [20:50] Back in a byte [20:51] yeah my thoughts exacly sadly [20:51] So, so far, I've made 4 Ubuntu CD's and none of them seem to be working. This is starting to get very very old. heh [20:51] a question [20:51] psi-jack, what is your hardware?... [20:51] ipatrol6010: Windows was *created* for desktop uses. Unix was created for server uses. Further discussion on #ubuntu-offtopic, thank you. [20:51] psi-jack get different discs? [20:51] it's said ubuntu is debian for ladies [20:51] Where do the ALSA config files reside? [20:51] psi-jack: do the iso's you downloaded pass md5 check? [20:51] is that true? [20:51] wth! [20:51] sere: For Linux newbies. [20:51] ubuntu is debian for moms [20:51] sometimes my USB 2.0 seems slow and sometimes it is really fast [20:51] sere: haha.. thats a good one.. :-) [20:52] ActionParsnip: And SHA1, don't forget that. [20:52] gwildor, I found the manual for my TV card online. There is a picture of the card in it and I am 100% sure that this is the one I have: ftp://ftp.pinnaclesys.de/Manual/MediaCenter%20V.3/PCTV110i_EN.pdf [20:52] my resolution can't back to normal after i remove it from the projector which i must synchronize it with the projector resolution first. can someone help me? [20:52] do you know why ESPEAK is not working in ubuntu? [20:52] sere: not at all, ubuntu is just another debian based linux distro [20:52] wizz, restart X [20:52] How do you instruct a script to run another script? [20:52] gah. why is my Macintosh HD not in /etc/fstab, but in the sidepane of Nautilus? What kind of black magic is this?? [20:52] gwildor, I think I have to connect an internal sound card cable. [20:52] ipatrol6010: The same way you instruct it to run any program. [20:52] cant i install that driver into wine for games ????? i found the driver but its for windows wonder if i can toss it in under wine ??? [20:52] How? [20:52] ipatrol6010: i think its exec [20:52] anr78: Userspace file system [20:52] how to do it gwildor? [20:52] anr78: Nautilus with gnome-volume-manager has automounting. [20:52] diddy, aha...that may be.... mine was external... [20:52] I need a debian based distro for ladies [20:53] testing... [20:53] wizz, the easy way in ubuntu.........restart :P [20:53] ActionParsnip, csudsu, gwildor: Well, the system being installed into is a Intel Pentium 4 2.8 with 4gb RAM (3gb-Visible), 6 HDD's and 2 DVD's, (1 of which is a writer). [20:53] mook_: wine doesnt need windows drivers installing [20:53] ipatrol6010: Well how do you run any program from a script? [20:53] ActionParsnip: The md5sum was never accurate to say 100% the same thing each time, which was annoying. [20:53] psi-jack, try burning slower... [20:53] psi-jack: doesnt matter, did you check the iso before burning? [20:53] hmm on but i need the driver for this video card then and im sure dell does not have it [20:53] I've installed Ubuntu with wubi on win7, it finished silently, no "installed successfully" screen or anything, and then restarting I don't get any menus, any ideas? [20:53] psi-jack is the disc not working or is it a hardware issue, burn slower, use different discs, check the consistency of the disc at the install prompt, etc [20:53] biovore: grawity: ok. so if I want it to mount automatically I will need to add an /etc/fstab-line? [20:54] psi-jack: if the md5 test fails, the image is bad [20:54] i had restart it many times, but i found nothing. it doesn't work [20:54] sometimes my USB 2.0 seems slow and sometimes it is really fast [20:54] anr78: you can.. yes [20:54] Where is the URL to download Ubuntu 8.04 Alternate, directly and not via torrent? [20:54] anr78: Actually the opposite. [20:54] biovore: but it sounds like you think I should not? [20:54] gwildor: for example, if created a rails app ,then issued the command 'ruby script/server' it'll start web brick. If I wanted to shutdown webbrick I have need to issue 'Ctrl-C to shutdown server'. This does not work as the terminal insists on stay up (the process does). Instead I have to close it by clicking the 'x' at the top of the terminal. This should not happen as the terminal should recognice ctrl-c. [20:54] How do you open nautilis with root privilages? [20:54] gwildor: i ha restart it many times. but nothing work. [20:54] anr78: If the drive is in fstab, then Nautilus automounter will _not_ handle it. [20:54] ipatrol6010: gksudo nautilus [20:55] i need help some body help me http://pastebin.com/d14b23184 [20:55] ipaterol6010: gksudo nautilus [20:55] unitxt_, yes, ctrl-c should work...you were asking ctrl-d.... [20:55] There was the mistake! I misspelled it [20:55] anr78: If it's an internal HD, you should add it to fstab though. [20:55] grawity: so if I do not add a line it will mount automatically? :D [20:55] ipatrol6010: you can avoid that by using tab [20:55] ipatrol6010: why do you want a root nautilus shell? [20:55] anr78: Yes. If it's not in fstab, Nautilus will auto-mount it. [20:56] What's tab? [20:56] tab is a button on your keyboard [20:56] ActionParsnip: What's annoying about it is I'd downloaded it straight to a solid state USB 500gb HDD, and it still wasn't md5sum'ing the same. [20:56] it autocompletes commands [20:56] ip-hunter, its a button on your keyboard [20:56] mykola: read up - he's the one complaining about not having a GUI for everything. === sere is now known as ramera [20:56] grawity: it is not in /etc/fstab, but I want it automounted, so then I will add a line. thanks [20:56] mykola: its good for copying files to locations the user has no write access to [20:56] oops ip-hunter [20:56] grawity: i know, and i'm trying to get him to use the cli :) [20:56] anr78: Is it an internal disk? [20:56] ActionParsnip: so is the sudo cp command :) [20:56] ActionParsnip, also sudo mv [20:56] mykola: i know but some user like gui [20:57] grawity: yes. I have an OSX/Ubuntu dual boot, and want Ubuntu to mount my OSX-partition [20:57] mykola: You're welcome. I have already maxed out my newbie quota for today. [20:57] ActionParsnip: i know that... but you gotta grow up some day :) [20:57] So now I'm re-downloading 8.04.3 Alternate, on a completely different system entirely. [20:57] anr78: Then you should add it to fstab with the 'auto' option. [20:57] grawity: O.o [20:57] cdrecord -v /dev/sr0 options=burnfree ubuntu.iso --- How do I set the speed, slower in wodim/cdrecord? [20:57] mykola: i use cli more than gui for filemanagement as well as dvd burning and cd ripping. gui is only for web b rowsing here [20:58] mykola: So please continue tryign to switch that dude to CLI. [20:58] Ok guys, I am new to Ubuntu. Just installed over my Vista. Can anyone tell me why my computer seems to be glitchy. It's like im lagging when going between windows or when scrolling or going through the menus. [20:58] anr78: Mostly it's like this. If it's an internal one, best to place it in fstab - as you probably will never need to change the entry. [20:58] grawity: heh... it's nigh hopeless... but i have fun trying :D [20:58] psi-jack: could try wodim [20:58] Celtic, probably not the correct graphics card driver.... or you can just turn off 3d stuffs [20:58] anr78: If it's an external one - best to let Nautilus handle it automatically. [20:58] ActionParsnip: cdrecord is wodim now, so, yeah. [20:58] uh oh [20:59] grawity: yep. thanks. [20:59] how i can upgrade virt-manager to latest release to be able to mount physical devices because 0.6.1 dose not support this option [20:59] ActionParsnip: I'd done this on my system I was trying to reinstall on, but now I'm having to use my database server that also has a CDRW drive. [20:59] gwildor: you know, UBUNTU have 4 standard resolution. now i just have 3. one of them was gone, which is 1280 x 800 [20:59] How would I check the graphics card driver and such? [20:59] any advise ? [20:59] !virt-manager [20:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about virt-manager [20:59] If I add a shbang to a text file, will it be recognized as a script? [20:59] ipatrol6010: depends on what you put after the shabang [20:59] <__theIdiotBox> c ya guys [21:00] gwildor: im back..u may check this http://imagebin.org/59753 [21:00] ipatrol6010: Only if you also give it the "executable" bit (chmod +x, and such) [21:00] After it I will put a valid script [21:00] <^linux^> hey all I need help making my ntfs partition -ro in partition I only have parted to work with ..... [21:00] ipatrol6010: /bin/bash for bash scripts, /usr/bin/python for pythong, etc [21:00] how do i get usb to work in virtualbox [21:00] ipatrol6010: #!/bin/bash AND make it executable. [21:00] ipatrol6010: mykola means the path to the shell [21:00] chmod +x ? [21:00] haf1ztang, you would need a bios upgrade...that may or may not fix it [21:00] <^linux^> I already tried droppign to root using gksu nautilus but cannot change anything because of ro [21:00] ipatrol6010: its #!/bin/bash and yes. you will need to chmod +x it [21:00] chmod +x ? [21:00] ipatrol6010: yes... [21:00] ipatrol6010: chmod +x filename [21:01] Geez, why is messing with ALSA so much like beating my own face into a wall... [21:01] ipatrol6010: marks it as executable [21:01] gwildor: bios update? can u guide me? [21:01] stupid keyboard? [21:01] ipatrol6010: to give it executable [21:01] haf1ztang, check your computer manufacturer website. [21:01] testing... [21:01] ok i think i fiound the right driver for ubuntu now i just need to install it [21:01] ipatrol6010: otherwise its only a text file === Shinobi is now known as Guest67475 [21:01] ipatrol6010: In Nautilus, check the "execute" checkbox on script properties. [21:01] ipatrol6010: if you aren't too afraid of learning about permissions, do a "man chmod" [21:01] <^linux^> ntfs partition mounts in ro how do I -ro without redoing partition I only got access to parted.. [21:01] gwildor: ok then? what do i need to do? [21:01] mook_, insmod module [21:02] So yeah, how do you use wodim to burn at a slower speed? like 8x? [21:02] ipatrol6010: you will "probably" want to chmod all of your scripts to 750 or 755 [21:02] haf1ztang, go to your computers area of the site... type in bios upgrade... directions will be there [21:02] * ^linux^ screams at top of lungs [21:02] <^linux^> :) [21:02] yeah but i gotta finish dloading it its on slow ips lol [21:02] Hi! Would anyone help me getting a Philips SPA 5200 USB soundspeakers to work under Ubuntu? dmesg sees it but it doesn't seem to load the drivers. [21:02] gwildor: will it effect my vista? [21:02] hmm, seems like it might have something to do with n_tty_read() [21:02] I'll have the ubuntu-8.04-alternate iso in 3 minutes. [21:02] ^linux^: you can remount it with better options. make sure you use: rw,user,uid=1000 [21:03] <^linux^> action* I only have parted umount & mount option I have to do it in terminal [21:03] I need a netbook recommendation [21:03] Will http://paste.ubuntu.com/253801/ work? [21:03] <^linux^> oops lol hows that damn tab thing work again :P [21:03] ^linux^: best way. umount it then mount it again using those options [21:04] gwildor: i got dualboot. so, will it effect my vista? [21:04] no.. [21:04] will prob make vista better [21:04] this is whare im at now just fyi [21:04] ^linux^ make sure you also specify -t ntfs-3g [21:04] oic [21:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [21:04] Will http://paste.ubuntu.com/253801/ work? [21:04] OKay, for wodim, is it expecting speed=8x or speed=8? [21:05] <^linux^> !tab *action* so mount -t ntfs then what?? I do the rw,userid=1000 after the /media/hda2?? [21:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === toxic is now known as nanard [21:05] gwildor: so i need to upgrade my bios right? [21:05] haf1ztang, yes [21:05] haf1ztang, assuming your computer maker has a bios upgrade that will fix itl... if not, you are stuck with the error [21:05] its at 55% be right back mabe you can walk me throught this [21:05] My question? [21:05] #ubuntu-es === nanard is now known as toxic [21:06] gwildor: but that will not effect my system right? === carlos is now known as Guest10630 [21:06] !wodim [21:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about wodim === Guest10630 is now known as Karlos [21:06] haf1ztang, it will make it better.... unless you mess up.. [21:06] !cdrecord [21:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about cdrecord [21:06] The bot fails. [21:06] gwildor: one more thing. how sure you are that it will solve that probs? [21:06] <^linux^> action it failed [21:06] <^linux^> where I put the stupid rw,user,id=1000?? [21:07] haf1ztang, well, the error is telling me that it is the problem....like i said, it will only be fixed if you computer maker has fixed it....i dont have your computer [21:07] when i want to duplicate a file in nautilus, i must 'copy' the file, then 'paste' it -- this gives me a copy with '(copy)' embedded in the filename -- i have two gripes -- one, why no 'duplicate' command? -- two, why do i have to choose 'rename' immediately? -- why not assume that i'll want to edit the duplicate's filename?

[21:09] I do very little audio. a friend is using ubuntu. what CD ripper comes with ubuntu? [21:09] gwildor: splash noapic nolapic irqfixup <- how about this? i added this into the grub/menu.lst [21:09] Alrighty then. Love how people just answer a few things, then when you ask for clarification, you're completely ignored thereafter. ;) [21:09] xiong, and you have to rename the file immediatly, because there cannot be two files with the same name. [21:09] ^linux^: I'm on a G1 phone so tab doesnt work [21:09] haf1ztang, that will only HIDE the error... not make it fixed [21:09] How do I get the state of all keyboard keys in X11? [21:10] gwildor: o ok gwildor [21:10] gwildor, mac os 9 has a 'duplicate' (duplicate file) command in Finder -- and i routinely duplicate files before editing them -- then i rename the copy 'w1', 'w2', etc. [21:10] gwildor: thanks for ur info btw [21:10] hi i don't get to install java on my computer 9.04 any tips?

[21:12] can someone show me how to re-enable the networkmanager? [21:12] <^linux^> even with remount its read only even in gksu ????

[21:13] i will gwildor [21:13] gwildor: how about updating the bios? will it works? [21:13] <^linux^> ActionParsnip, its still read only ?? [21:13] gwildor, indeed i'd be happiest if i could just change nautilus' default behavior, so that when i duplicated a file, it would automatically rename it with 'oldname wXX.txt', where XX is the next available integer [21:13] where can i get the most up-to-date java deb? [21:13] yoyned:HOw? [21:13] there seems to be an exploit in the older one [21:13] ipatrol6010: copy then edit/make link [21:13] hi, I'd like to be able to use page-up as a shortcut key but I can't map it in the standard program because I get an error, is there anyway I can bypass this?

[21:14] Hi all. A question: does ubuntu-netbook-remix use standard ubuntu repos? What I don't like about precompiled distros is that repos are slow on new versions (as a developer I need fresh stuff) and if netbook remix uses separate repos then it is way behind [21:14] can someone show me how to re-enable the networkmanager??? [21:14] ^linux^ then you need to compile it. otherwise you are stuck [21:14] sdv00: how did you disabled it ? [21:14] How do I keep the terminal running, but make it disappear?

[21:49] ANY ONE CAN HELP ME HOW TO SET UP THE CUBE ON UBUNTU 9.04 USING VIA CHROME 9 HC [21:49] habskilla: and moving the device from one linux box to another. can cause confuseion with the ownership/permissions [21:49] Is there a way to soft link, or emulate soft linking, such that files on an ntfs-3d mounted NTFS partition appear to be on an ext3 one? [21:49] ActionParsnip: It opens a "new file". When I was looking around there a minute ago, there doesn't appear to be an X11 directory any more [21:49] !caps | Frankwhite [21:49] Frankwhite: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:49] ActionParsnip: My touchscreens and audio/video streaming systems sit on 192.168.10.x [21:49] I'd like to know what "Check disc for defects" from the install menu actually does. Does it check the files against mdsum.txt in the CD's root? [21:49] Frankwhite: no effects with via cards afaik [21:49] <[lan3y]> Dr_willis, i plan to use a mixture of ext3 and ext4, this is why i would prefer separate partitions, [21:49] superkuh: you could use ln to make links.. (ln -s whatever whever) [21:49] k..so is there a mount option to fix that? [21:49] guntbert: yes; exactly that. checks the md5sum [21:49] Yeah, I tried that Dr_Willis. [21:50] [lan3y]: Curious, why ext4? [21:50] [lan3y]: depends on needs, 10Gb for / is ok, 2Gb swap, rest for home is typical but if you expect lots of data outside of home then it will need to be bigger. there is no clear answer [21:50] erUSUL: thank you [21:50] Can someone please help me: ubuntu 9.04 64bit, normal cable mouse(not bt), A random group of icons from the applications, places and system menu don't launch when left-clicking on them. Pwety pweaze? [21:50] what is the channel for Karmic? [21:50] [lan3y]: I just use ext4 for everything now a days. Do what you want. You might want to check out the lvm stuff - but with that small a hard drive. its not hardly worth the effort. [21:50] !karmic [21:50] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:50] DWonderly: #ubuntu+1 [21:50] No effects with VIA, is there any way to change this [21:50] thanks [21:50] DWonderly: +1 is always used for the next upcoming release. ;) [21:50] <[lan3y]> ok thanks [21:51] Servus allerseits! [21:51] cyberfin: if it works when you disa ble desktop effects then it compiz breaking stuff and you should ask in #compiz [21:51] psi-jack: lol I was typping - instead of + couldn't figure out why not working [21:51] [lan3y]: if you plan to use ext3 do a boot partition to avoid problerms with grub etc... as other pointed out /boot / and /home are more than enough [21:51] DWonderly: Ahhhh. heh [21:51] DWonderly: Think... posative. ;) [21:51] Not due to compiz, already tried disabling it. [21:52] Oy.. I hate how slow this installer's going.. Really effing annoying. heh [21:52] psi-jack: always my friend. Trying to test the UNR for 9.10 [21:52] I would like to now how I can change the permissions of folders (I am connected via FTP) [21:52] intermaxim: Directories you mean? [21:52] cyberfin: very weird... so weird i do not know what may it be... just to let you know you are bieng read... [21:52] intermaxim: chmod [21:52] ok chmod sounds good, i know that from windows [21:53] ftp servers have their own commands/features to change permissions i thoght.. easier to ssh in. :) [21:53] I thank you for your attention... :) [21:53] but how can i reference the directory [21:53] It's online webspace, I have no ssh connection [21:53] ls [21:53] time to learn to use the ftp clients you got then. [21:53] I had filezilla under windows [21:54] Oh wait... it is compiz breaking stuff. Tried again (I must have not completely disabled it the first time) [21:54] there i could rightclick [21:54] Any way I can change my graphic card, currently using via chrome 9 hc or to get a code to make the cubes work [21:54] but if i connect via places, and right click - I cant change anything then [21:54] alright [21:55] Thank you guys for making me secound-doubt myself :P [21:55] noobie here [21:55] me too :D [21:55] !ask | e370 [21:55] e370: 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. :-) [21:55] is it possible to change or modify the GDM theme in Karmic? [21:55] thanks === heroid_ is now known as heroid [21:55] I ask where the drivers are for labtec webcam pro [21:55] polter: you can change it [21:56] /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [21:56] !webcam | e370 [21:56] e370: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [21:56] what can I do to clean that up? [21:56] How can I use the cube with via chrome 9 hc on ubuntu 9.04 [21:56] erUSUL, how? [21:56] Dvlpr: are you running two apps that manage packages ? synaptic + apt in cli ? [21:56] polter: system>Admin>Login window [21:56] oh, ye, didnt notice synaptic >__< [21:56] thanks [21:57] erUSUL, there are no options for changing themes and such [21:57] Frankwhite: if i remember right, you need viachrome driver in X , chech if you are using it and if not add driver section to conf [21:57] Dvlpr, you might be forgetting sudo :) [21:57] polter: in the second tab [21:57] Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/local/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 328. [21:57] autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory [21:57] polter: i'm seing them right now [21:57] thats what after reinstalling autoconf [21:57] ;o [21:57] erUSUL, you did notice I wrote Karmic, right? [21:57] polter: then go to #ubuntu+1 [21:57] Hmmm, blasted! [21:58] simplexio: how do I config if Im not using it? [21:58] Why the frack won't Linux use my on-board NIC's at 1000mbit? It's a 3c940 10/100/1000 and it will only connect at 100 not 1000 [21:58] Is it possible to netboot the Netbook Remix? [21:58] hope so nick [21:59] i want to run this on mine [21:59] There doesn't seem to be a netbook remix netboot image, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of passing different arguments to the netboot installer [21:59] psi-jack: becouse the other end does not support 1000 Gib ? the switch is 100 MB only ? the autonegotation got it wrong? force it with ethtool [21:59] what is the correct thing to do if you have a bug in bugzilla.gnome.org, but it hasn't been looked at in a couple of weeks.. should I file it under Ubuntu on Launchpad too? [21:59] anybody wonna help with autoconf issue? [21:59] I have some web space that I can access via ftp. I manage to connect via places. I can upload and download. Now I want to change the Directory permissions of a folder (and all the contents). In Windows I did it with a right-click in Filezilla. If I right click here, it says that it cant figure out the permissions. I tried sudo nautilus, but I can't find the ftp directory mounted anywhere. Can anyone help me please? [21:59] Frankwhite: dunno is there new way, but old way is nano /etc/X11/Xorg.conf (aka edit that file) google finds many examples what you need to add [21:59] dvl i need help with my network 2 [21:59] erUSUL: Negative. The NIC does do 1000, the switch IS 1000. [21:59] polter: if it is a bug in a ubuntu package yes you should [22:00] erUSUL: And the cables are cat5e 6' cables. [22:00] psi-jack: use ethtool to set 1000 [22:00] erUSUL, ok, well I thought "let's give it to upstream right away to save some time".. but ok [22:00] erUSUL: I tried that too, while this system was still opensuse. [22:00] Frankwhite: and and "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep Driver" probably find ehat driver is in use [22:00] polter: maybe ubuntu devs can make some pressure... [22:01] erUSUL, let's hope so.. [22:01] Anyone? [22:01] wired network is showin up as disconnected but it isn't lol [22:01] c: [22:01] ive checked the cable twise [22:01] simplexio: thanks Ill try that [22:01] intermaxim: use filezilla in ubuntu too ? [22:01] hey if anyone got the time. the bug is about Totem not remembering volume levels between switching streams, or opening another file from nautilus or other app [22:01] thanks, I will try that [22:01] if someone wants to confirm [22:01] psi-jack: mii-tool tell you negotiated speed, i had problem in one point which were fixed when i changed cable [22:01] Where is the /etc/modprobe.conf on Ubuntu 9.04 ? [22:02] diddy: in /etc/modprobe [22:02] erUSUL: I have an nForce2 NIC, onboard as well, that also won't go 1000, but oon the ssame system, same cable, same switch, a Linksys Gigabit PCI card, will do it. [22:02] diddy: in /etc [22:02] simplexio: Yeah, read what I just told erUSUL.. :) [22:02] psi-jack: correcting.. i changed 1G nic which i connected line .. for some reason marvel couln't negotiate right speed with nforce [22:02] diddy: /etc/modprobe.d [22:02] psi-jack: nvidia does crappy hard? ;P [22:03] diddy: its a directory :-) [22:03] anyone else had the same problem with it saying the wired network has been disconnected? [22:03] I recall having issues with marvel NIC's also. [22:03] psi-jack: you coul try to force speed [22:03] erUSUL: That doesn't explain why the 3c940 doesn't work like it should as well, completelty different system. [22:03] c: [22:03] Dr_Willis: Yeah, Marvell, that's what the 3c940 is. [22:03] psi-jack: the driver for nforce nicks is not the best one you can find in linux kernel... [22:03] thats using the sky3 module? i forget... [22:03] Dr_Willis: sk98lin or skge [22:03] love u =) [22:04] Dr_Willis: In OpenSUSE sk98lin was the default to use, but also blacklisted in modules.d [22:04] psi-jack: yep. thats it skge.. i used to get constant erorr messages in dmesg as the system ran. [22:04] LINUX!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111 [22:04] lol [22:04] Dr_Willis: Heh. Interesting. [22:04] hi [22:04] Trar: yep [22:04] guntbert, there is no modprobe.conf in the dir modprobe.d [22:04] i ve got a black screen [22:04] its horrible [22:04] * ruok [22:04] so i plugged in some cheaper NIC and just left the onboard (the skge one) alone. [22:04] Dr_Willis: I don't recall ever getting errors, but .... I didn't check either, so.. I just got a Gigabit switch from a friend, in hoping to get a full gigabit network going internally, because I do a /lot/ of video/audio streaming. [22:04] diddy: you use the various files under /etc/modprobe.d/ to do what modprobe.conf does [22:05] malko: sure if you are afraid of dark [22:05] diddy: Do you understand file paths? /etc/modprobe.d [22:05] i have a DELL latitude 5500 LAPTOP [22:05] diddy: It's in /etc [22:05] AAAA [22:05] diddy: you want to blacklist a module...? [22:05] diddy: modprobe.conf is in /etc [22:05] psi-jack: yea - i got all my stuff upgraded to GB speeds now as well. (I think) the hard drives are now the bottle neck [22:05] Dr_Willis: Probably end up having to do the same,. though I'm going to try FreeBSD out and SEE if they have the issue working, or if it's just that bad a situation, or if it's Linux alone. [22:05] Dr_Willis: Yeah, HDD's is why I LVM stripe 3-4 HDD's together to get the speed out. ;) [22:06] psi-jack: i think my sky2 card is 100speed only. :) so i dont have the same issue. [22:06] diddy: but a lot of conf files, look at the contents [22:06] psi-jack: LVM stripe ? how thts different to software raid? [22:06] !lvm [22:06] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [22:06] simplexio: It's LVM managed, which allows me to do snapshots on the fly live. [22:06] anyone else had the same problem with it saying the wired network has been disconnected? [22:06] simplexio: in no important way,... the kernel has duplicate funcionality there [22:06] psi-jack: i have heard that lvm makes it slow [22:06] simplexio: Mind you, they're compressed snapshots, too, which is VERY useful. ;) [22:07] simplexio: You heard wrong. [22:07] i can't check the sound of bell con gnome-terminal [22:07] simplexio: LVM Linear, which is what most distros that BARELY support LVM only do, like Ubuntu. [22:07] simplexio: But LVM Striping properly setup, is amazingly fast. ;) [22:07] u are a buteful snowflake [22:08] psi-jack: Do I need 2 identical drives to LVM? [22:08] edbian: Nope. [22:08] I normally need more room.. not more speed. :) [22:08] psi-jack: Mmm [22:08] ruok: do you have an ubuntu support question? [22:08] edbian: Two identically sized partitions on two drives, yes. [22:08] o ya hang on [22:08] psi-jack: I C. Thank you [22:09] lvm stripe my 2 external usb hard drives.. :) to get useable speed! [22:09] i have searched google for a bit about networking wiblows and ubuntu and what i have tried does not allow me to see windows files ,i dont need to acess linux from blows but do ubuntu >windoz [22:09] how to u open the menues [22:09] Dr_Willis: Heh.. I thought about doing that, but my Seagate 500gb USB, is pretty dang fast with XFS alone. [22:09] edbian: do you need two identical drives or partions for raid ? [22:09] psi-jack: i run software raid5 with dmcrypt(which kills performance) [22:09] Dr_Willis: Course, it IS solid-state, not platter. [22:09] anyone know of a good tutorial? [22:09] bucky: That is my understanding yeah. [22:10] bucky: You need 2 identical drives. [22:10] simplexio: Yeah, softraid by itself, is slow. fakeraid too. dmcrypt is your ultimate killer, and probably not even worth it for what you're doing. [22:10] bucky: for software raid you need 2 same sized partition. [22:10] Solid state drives are getting.. almost (and just almost) affordable. :) [22:10] or anyone know correct phrase to goole ? [22:10] bucky: Go with what simplexio said. My knowledge comes from Tiger Direct Employees which apparently are not as reliable as I thought!

[22:11] DJNomad: you need to use samba to set up a samba server to 'share' files/directories from linux to widnows. [22:11] Dr_Willis: Yeah, ALMOST.. I thought about getting a series of 50gb Solid States, and RAIDing them together with striping, cause the speed on those Seagate SS drives, on the lower capacity ones, are amazing. [22:11] i love tiger direct [22:11] diddy: sorry not meant for you [22:11] hey i downloaded the latest flash player and it wont work it installs it just wont play anything [22:11] DJNomad: theres books on the topic in the 'samba-doc' package [22:11] psi-jack: well when i tested it without crypt it was faster than disks alone, and it makes easier to handle all those disk (4x1T hds) [22:11] any suggestions\? [22:12] automan070192: Make sure you only have 1 flash player installed. Start testing on youtube. [22:12] simplexio: So, why dmcrypt, anyway? Do you have any possability of someone physically stealing the HDD's in the system? [22:12] theres secure.. then theres paranoid. :) [22:12] Noch ne Frage.

[22:15] help me with ubuntu pls [22:16] erUSUL, no worries. Its just kind of bugging me. I'd rather have the drive consistently say "no thanks", than randomly allowing/disallowing a mount.

There is no CD currently in the drive. I can reboot and it will work normally, but after about 12 hours it gets back into this broken state again [22:19] any ideas? [22:19] can't it use disk space? [22:20] GuidMorrow: a virtual 'disk' is saved to a file.. so it does use disk space. [22:20] GuidMorrow: You could try VirtualBox for VM of XP to run games. I don't know Sims's required spec, but you shouldn't go over half your RAM for a VM [22:20] GuidMorrow: time to read the virtualbox docs - if you want to use virtualbox. it explains all this. [22:20] Any recommendations on a fs to format an external to? [22:20] thelostfaith: depends on what you are going to do with it.

[22:21] if it will be shared with windows box = ntsf/vfat [22:21] I recommend EXT3 just because it's so stable, but it's really up to you.

[22:32] later.....lol start her out with pidgin [22:32] !alternate | sartan [22:32] sartan: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[22:32] and i suppose there's few disadvantages to using the alternate installer? are there any groupinstall packages and such i won't be able to use later? [22:33] sartan: not any that i know [22:33] (sorry for dropping a yum term) - i.e. yum install groupinstall desktop to drop on gnome, x, etc. [22:33] Seany: first get her used to everything then throw her to the sharks...lol [22:33] Hey guys is xchat in the repos for the 64 bit ubuntu 9.04?

[22:34] does ubuntu keep wine relatively up to date? [22:34] centos is still at 0.9x [22:35] that means having blows on the box...I am going MS free [22:35] silameth: this computer stil lhave a bootable xp partition, but rarely gets used. [22:35] !latest | sartan [22:35] sartan: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

While the VM is up, right click the USB icon on the bottom right, you can activate USB devices in there. [22:38] FloridaGuy: you need vbox PUEL for that (OSE doesn't support usb) [22:39] !vbox | FloridaGuy [22:39] FloridaGuy: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[22:39] FloridaGuy: and nonfree is free for personal use ( it just isnt gpl) [22:39] just for a minute though, my dad is having loud vehicle issues outside [22:39] lol [22:39] guntbert, i have the full...i unstalled ose [22:40] when you make a disk for the virtual machine, does it define a file system like NTFS, FAT32, etc? [22:40] is there way to upgrade from gutsy to jaunty directly or do I need to update through every release? [22:40] or will it barf if you try to setup an OS? [22:40] FloridaGuy: look that howto, you may need to define usbusers user group or similiar [22:40] GuidMorrow: I don't believe so, the install of the OS would [22:40] then just right click on the usb icon at the bottom of the window and select the device you want [22:40] Seany: lol well, it's not just adobe that i use, it's also bryce, poser, etc. i'm a graphic designer and 3d artist [22:40] FloridaGuy: no luck in the GUI? i was stuck there forever and it was an easy right click...

[22:41] silameth: and btw.. if those programs dont need 3D accel, you can use virtualbox for running windows ( and you need windows lisence ) [22:41] kevdog: thank you and do it! being able to connect online with your phone is obviously more useful everyday [22:41] silameth: designed for [22:42] FloridaGuy: then just right click on the usb icon at the bottom of the window and select the device you want [22:42] GuidMorrow: the install of a vm is similar to a native install, so is the filesystem [22:42] !upgrade | kaddi [22:42] kaddi: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [22:42] silameth: vbox offers few nice option for ppl who virtualize windows, like snapshot which you take soon after you have installed all stuff you want.. after that you can always return to that point if something goes wrong [22:43] Seany, the usb icon wont do anything [22:43] Hello peoples [22:43] Seany: I'll have to tell silameth about that [22:43] FloridaGuy: i think you need to first close vmachine, then go to settings and slect what usb goes where [22:43] !welcome | Jaha [22:43] Jaha: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [22:43] wth? how long does it take for this disk to make a 128 GB filesystem?

[22:44] Seany: lol yeah i know [22:44] guntbert, yes I'm already on that sight.. but it only says upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 and I was wondering if that is, because it's the only possible way or because that is the most common way [22:44] *site even [22:44] FloridaGuy: type of os (the vm) ?

[22:45] btw, is there a way to tell if this thing is amd64 or i386? For some reason everything is being treated like 32-bit [22:45] FloridaGuy: after you select virtualmachine, up there is settings button -> there is usb on left side [22:45] !amd64 [22:45] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu.

[23:41] where the heck is that Auto Capture Keyboard option in VirtualBox?! [23:41] <_Maximus> DasEi, unfortunately it did not work either [23:41] Holy crap! FIOS has 50mbit/20mbit?

[23:45] spO: fuse is filesystems in user space and allows wxactly that you can writte fs drivers in userspace which is easier than writting a kernel driver [23:45] or just wait [23:45] i'm excited [23:45] copywriter: How advanced of a user are you?

[23:48] !karmic | copywriter [23:48] copywriter: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:48] gotcha [23:48] cochilion: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:48] SAvanny did you try and look the Mediubuntu repository? [23:48] cool ill have to givbe it a try [23:49] <_Maximus> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f31fbc748 [23:49] erUSUL: i have just installed and still the same [23:49] savanny1976u: boot in safemode, try : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:49] ill have no use for winblows if thats th e case [23:49] Okay. Now, since I can't get my 3c940 onboard NIC to go 1000mbit, what are good Linux-supported PCI NIC's that can do it proper? === spOO` is now known as spO [23:49] <_Maximus> DasEi, no, lsusb does not find it [23:49] steven_: it should work with wine from the winehq repositories without further changes.. so make sure you get the latest wine, and then you should only have to change a few options in your ini files, like using opengl instead of dx [23:50] So far, a Linksys Gigabit can, but I'm not too fond of Linksys by any means, so I'm curious if Netgear's Gigabit NIC's are worth it. [23:50] Syt, I can't access to my Desktop, I have a white. Is there other way to access rep? [23:50] _Maximus : strange, but the drive is on and spinning ? [23:50] <_Maximus> DasEi, but I can hear that the device is constantly shutting down and restarting [23:50] what are the chances that fglrx from intrepid would work in jaunty? [23:50] <_Maximus> DasEi, yes, spinning but stopping and starting again [23:51] _Maximus : aharr, also when data( usb ) is unplugged ? has it a seperate powerline or is it a 2.5 "" ? === TannerS is now known as TannerS_AFK [23:51] Can anybody help me with Nvidia problem i think i have tryd it all... still not working aftur many hours google [23:51] <_Maximus> DasEi, what is more weird is that it works on the laptop [23:51] is there a way to set environment variables for an app started with start-stop-daemon? [23:51] hal is not automounting my usb drives, i am going to try to reinstall it [23:51] what doy ou think? [23:51] <_Maximus> DasEi, it's a 2.5" [23:51] <_Maximus> DasEi, all goes on the usb [23:52] _Maximus : aharr, is your board set to supply +5V ? [23:52] anyone kno how to fix 'kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot' on boot? [23:52] spO: reinstalling rarely does anything [23:52] <_Maximus> DasEi, that [23:52] sdv00: you can safely ignore that [23:52] <_Maximus> DasEi, that's a good one, is there any way I check that out withouth checking the bios? [23:52] sdv00: that always appears if you start without hibernating [23:53] lstarnes: so how do i bypass this? [23:53] _Maximus : first check if usb is enabled in bios, secondly many boards have jumpers on it where you can set steady or dynamic usb supply [23:53] sdv00: you don't need to [23:53] lstarnes: i login via cmd prompt? [23:53] lstarnes: then what sudo reboot? [23:53] lstarnes: cuz that doesnt work >_< [23:53] Hi i was wondering: Is there a Gnome way to automount drives on login? Or should i just edit fstab? [23:53] <_Maximus> DasEi, and which one do I need? [23:53] sdv00: that always appears unless you hibernate first [23:54] hi all [23:54] sdv00: that message comes from not finding a resume image for coming out of hibernation [23:54] _Maximus : both, reading dmesg now, second [23:54] Anyone ?? cant get dualveiw working [23:54] DasEi, you mean Ctrl+Alt+F1? [23:54] sdv00: it is not an error, it is just an informative emssage [23:54] *message [23:54] Savanny maybe it is an overheated graphics card [23:54] I've got a collection of DVDs and now a giant harddrive that I want to rip them too and watch them from... is there an all-in-one rip&watch solution for me? [23:54] How do i find my fat 32 partion i have dual boot system [23:54] lstarnes: :O is it possible to hiberate via cmd prompt? [23:54] savanny1976u: can do so, too and login, see: [23:54] !x [23:54] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:55] sdv00: I'm not sure [23:55] hello, will EXT4 be the default filesystem for Karmic ? [23:56] lstarnes: then how would i tell my comp to hiberate >_< [23:56] djzn: questions about karmic go to #ubuntu+1 [23:56] can someone tell me [23:56] It is time that all human races stand up to the threat that the feral negroid beast poses to civilization! Asians, Whites, non-negroid Hispanics, Indians, Semites, Turkics, Native Americans, etc need to band together and put an end to the incessant monkeyshines that the niggras have been imposing on society.

[23:56] sdv00: do you need it to hibernate? [23:56] have a problem with amarok playback, i have just installed and dont play mp3 [23:56] both the linuxan fat partions are on the same hard drive [23:56] Ubuntu Membership calls for a "Personal Wiki Page". How do i set that up? [23:56] lstarnes: i have no idea.. kinda confused. i thought u said the error shows because i need to hiberate? [23:57] Sheash./ [23:57] sdv00: not because you need to hibernate [23:57] sdv00: ignore the message [23:57] sdv00: all it means is that it's not resuming from hibernation [23:57] I think never to leave on hibernate [23:57] helloi [23:57] some cGraphics card cannot turn back on [23:57] lstarnes: well what do u mean by 'ignore' it.. at boot i enter a cmd prompt view. [23:57] this could be sign of hardware problem [23:58] how do i access my fat 32 partion from ubuntu [23:58] what was my disconnect message? [23:58] sdv00: act as if you did not see the message [23:58] lstarnes: i tried rebooting/shutdown same thing === spOO` is now known as spO [23:58] sdv00: are you unable to use the system normally? [23:58] _Maximus : dmesg also can only enumerate one device, probably because of the power-prob; also your main-hd needs checking [23:58] lstarnes: nope, just a cmd prompt/terminal view [23:58] Does Gnome have a way to automount a drive on login, or should i stick to editing fstab? [23:58] lstarnes: clearly if i was able to, id probably knew wat u mean by ignore ;/ [23:58] sdv00: look for another error. that message about the resume image most likelyw would not have a problem [23:59] lstarnes: ok give me a sec to reboot n see the entire error [23:59] Hi all, I was just offered a new linux-image-virtual in my Jaunty install: current 2.6.24-19-virtual - so I did apt-get [23:59] <_Maximus> DasEi, I did not attach the small usb hdd at boot time [23:59] install linux-image-virtual but it didn't install a virtual kernel - it installed 2.6.28-14-server - is this [23:59] meta-package broken? [23:59] sdv00: you can use dmesg to see the full kernel log [23:59] <_Maximus> DasEi, why do you say my main hdd needs a check? [23:59] _Maximus : to check sda, run live cd, have (big) hd not mounted, run : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda [23:59] a trace of my install is here: http://codepad.org/iMvTh7YX [23:59] lstarnes: would it matter if im using a different distro of ubuntu? ex. kubuntu/edubuntu/etc?
