[00:00] <GhostFish_> someone help me out I'm running version 2.6.24 kernal and Vmware giving me a Version mismatch with vmmon module 167.0 should be 161 ????
[00:00] <genii> ubuntu__: Look at Step 2  here and substitute the name of the file you have instead of what they have http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0310.html
[00:00] <jmiller_> oh wow im an idiot :P it was jus confusing me how desktop cube wasnt a cube but it was because i only had stuff open on one desktop! thanks for your help
[00:00] <hischild> !install | ubuntu__
[00:00] <desneedy> I woke up this morning to find that the panels in the desktop were gone. I can't figure out why? Can anyone help?
[00:00] <desneedy> Please.
[00:00] <antibody> ubuntu__,  don't download from nvidia.com
[00:00] <ubuntu__> i dont get that
[00:00] <sef> antibody> the md5sum only checks that the iso is good.
[00:00] <ubuntu__> what
[00:00] <antibody> sef, ...yeps...that's why I need it
[00:00] <ubuntu__> where do i download it
[00:00] <sydlex> Scunizi: i am booting directly from the livecd and when i get to busybox i have no idea what to do, all i can think of is ./init :-P
[00:01] <mysterycool> ububtu__: hi
[00:01] <hischild> ubuntu__: WHAT are you trying to install?
[00:01] <antibody> ubuntu__, just type "sudo synaptic" in a console
[00:01] <ubuntu__> a nivida driver
[00:01] <mysterycool> ubuntu__: oh
[00:01] <Malaz> jmiller_:  No problem.  Compiz uses its own system of virtual desktops, independent of GNOME's.  GNOME's desktops control the number of faces on the 'cube', and Compiz's control number of cubes.
[00:01] <antibody> and search for "nvidia"
[00:01] <visualdeception> ubuntu__, you need to run sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
[00:01] <antibody> ubuntu__, and install nvidia_glx_new
[00:01] <antibody> or something like it
[00:01] <hischild> ubuntu__: it should be in the restricted driver.
[00:01] <antibody> or use envy
[00:01] <ubuntu__> ?
[00:01] <ubuntu__> what do i do
[00:01] <antibody> ok no more need for md5sum found it
[00:01] <mysterycool> ubuntu__: which ubuntu driver?
[00:01] <ubuntu__> if some one wants to help me can you go in a privite chat plz
[00:01] <hischild> ubuntu__: go to system-> administation -> hardware drivers.
[00:01] <genii> visualdeception: It's one of those *.run drivers he's already d/loaded from Nvidia, apparently
[00:01] <mysterycool> *nvidia driver
[00:02] <danand> ubuntu__ - try the restricted driver listing from the admin menu in gnome...
[00:02] <antibody> ubuntu__, open a console and just type "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[00:02] <visualdeception> genii, ahh gotcha
[00:02] <visualdeception> thanks
[00:02] <hischild> antibody: that won't work by default. Use restricted drivers for that.
[00:02] <genii> !register | ubuntu__
[00:02] <Malaz> ubuntu__: Unless your nvidia card is older than the 4 series, or something
[00:02] <endo> argh, I cannot update my ubuntu through the update manager and its annoying. It gets stuck on setting up the software channel 41 of 54 everytime.
[00:02] <antibody> hmm ok hischild
[00:02] <sef> antibody > http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS
[00:02] <antibody> sef, I already have it
[00:02] <antibody> lol
[00:02] <antibody> ty anywais
[00:02] <antibody> anyways*
[00:02] <sef> k
[00:02] <FloodBot1> antibody: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:02] <Malaz> /nick Malaz
[00:03] <Scunizi> sydlex: the other method would be to boot into kubuntu then go to the shell and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. When done reboot and change sessions to gnome then sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop
[00:03] <antibody> pfff....stupid floodbot..now i'll leave :=) \o bbye everyone
[00:03] <mysterycool> ubuntu__: Go to Sytem -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for Nvidia. There are quite a few results. Navigate through them and find the one you need. =]
[00:03] <mysterycool> bb =]
[00:03] <vbaem>
[00:03] <Scunizi> Will putting spaces between the lines in fstab mess things up?
[00:04] <genii> Scunizi: No
[00:04] <antibody> Scunizi, ...why do you wanna do that?
[00:04] <Scunizi> genii: thanks..
[00:04] <hischild> ubuntu__: please don't pm without asking. I'm prepending your name to everything i'm directing at you.
[00:04] <sydlex> Scunizi: i dont think so but you could always comment the lines out if you want spaces and dont want to risk messing something up
[00:04] <mysterycool> I cant get the sound in Flash videos to play. Please help.
[00:04] <Scunizi> antibody: I've got a lot in there including things I've commented out and I want to organize the structure.
[00:04] <danand> Scunizi - no ... but you should comment out blank lines with a # ...
[00:04] <Scunizi> danand: thanks..
[00:04] <antibody> mysterycool, there was a bug about flash and pulse audio
[00:04] <antibody> google for pulse audio and flash or something
[00:05] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:05] <ubuntu__> im in hard ware drivers now what
[00:05] <hischild> ubuntu__: please go to the hardware drivers menu and check if your graphics card does need a restricted driver.
[00:05] <Scunizi> mysterycool: antibody also.. audacity doesn't work with pulse audio
[00:05] <sydlex> Scunizi: thank you, ill try ubuntu-desktop --> purge kubuntu-desktop --> dist upgrade when i get home.  good idea ^.^
[00:05] <ubuntu__> there is nothing in the box
[00:05] <genii> Scunizi: On occasion, if you inserted a last line in there and left cursor at end of line without hitting return/enter it may groan about the fstab file.
[00:05] <antibody> Scunizi, but I rarely use audacity ;)
[00:05] <hischild> ubuntu__: does it say if you need drivers or not?
[00:05] <Scunizi> sydlex: just another way to pluck a heron :)
[00:05] <dmsuperman> Hey guys, just got myself a new super-fancy Logitech MX600 mouse. I love it so far, but I'm having some issues setting up the extra buttons. I followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332256 Replacing MX610 with MX600. I've got it partially working, only I think the button mappings for my zoom button are wrong, because they don't do anything. I did get the back/forward buttons to work though. Is there somewh
[00:05] <dmsuperman> ere I can figure out the button mappings for xbindkeys?
[00:05] <antibody> sydlex, you can have both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop
[00:05] <ubuntu__> it sais no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[00:06] <Scunizi> genii:  yep.. I knew I needed a blank line at the end.  but I appriciate it.
[00:06] <xaziva> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4865796#post4865796

[00:06] <Falling-Inferno> I have a problem. could someone help me?
[00:06] <genii> Scunizi: np, not everyone knows about it
[00:06] <Mazus> mine stops at 56% on one and than errors out
[00:06] <ubuntu__>  it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[00:06] <kelvie_> where's iceape/mozilla in Hardy Heron?
[00:06] <sydlex> i dont like having gnome and kde installed at the same time, things get complicated, too many apps for me.  if only kde/kubuntu didnt have so many bugs....
[00:06] <endo> argh, I cannot update my ubuntu through the update manager and its annoying. It gets stuck on setting up the software channel 41 of 54 everytime.
[00:06] <antibody> ubuntu__, don't you have at the tray an icon that looks like a RAM or PCi card?(in green/light brown)
[00:06] <kelvie_> the packages don't install anything for me
[00:06] <hischild> ubuntu__: ok. What gfx card do you have?
[00:06] <Fishscene> !ask | Falling-Inferno

[00:07] <ubuntu__> i have a 8800 gts 512 mb
[00:07] <danand> sydlex - try another wm ... fluxbox, xfce4, icewm etc
[00:07] <antibody> I dunno if that will enable nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx
[00:07] <ubuntu__> it is capatable
[00:07] <Scunizi> sydlex: that's why the purge.. I had them both for a while and managed to spend a lot of time reorganizing my applications menu to segragate the different programs.. what a pain
[00:07] <hischild> ubuntu__: that one has always shown up in hardware drivers.
[00:07] <GhostFish_> someone help me out I'm running version 2.6.24 kernal and Vmware giving me a Version mismatch with vmmon module 167.0 should be 161 ????

[00:08] <Scunizi> GhostFish: did you just get a new kernel?
[00:08] <hischild> ubuntu__: it will install the driver by itself when you enable the driver in hardware driver.
[00:08] <antibody> GhostFish, isn't there an app that comes with vmware that compiles the module?
[00:08] <antibody> vmware-install.py or something like it
[00:08] <ubuntu__> it doesent show anything
[00:08] <ubuntu__> so i went to nivida website
[00:08] <ubuntu__> downloaded a driver
[00:08] <Scunizi> GhostFish: or did this just start happening with 8.04 upgrade?
[00:08] <ubuntu__> and i cant install it
[00:09] <fiyawerx> ubuntu__ what do you mean by 'cant install it'
[00:09] <ubuntu__> it doesent show my video card in the hardware drivers
[00:09] <GhostFish_> 8.04 it started
[00:09] <ubuntu__> i dont know how to install it
[00:09] <GhostFish_> 8.04 it started
[00:09] <Scunizi> GhostFish: is it the server edition?
[00:09] <GhostFish_> no workstation
[00:10] <Scunizi> GhostFish: as long as it's not player.. have you recompiled vmware?
[00:10] <browndruid> #connect irc.1337.com
[00:10] <ubuntu__> so do you know how i would install it
[00:10] <browndruid> #server
[00:10] <tate> Do any of you have a working nVidia MCP55 High Definition Audio?
[00:10] <browndruid> #server irc.1337.com
[00:10] <browndruid> #join
[00:10] <GhostFish_> yeah 3 times
[00:10] <browndruid> #join kubuntu
[00:10] <GhostFish_> withy different patches
[00:10] <vbaem> brb
[00:10] <browndruid> #quit
[00:10] <fiyawerx> ubuntu__ the short version is, install the kernel sources, shut down gdm, run the binary, reboot
[00:10] <sydlex> danand: why do you say i should use another wm?
[00:10] <Scunizi> GhostFish: using sudo ./usr/bin/vmware-config.pl  ?
[00:10] <ubuntu__> ?
[00:11] <ubuntu__> what
[00:11] <shady> no sound after uninstalling pulseaudio

[00:11] <AntiProxy> anyone running Hardy, with multiple POP3 accounts on Evolution, and has set an Always BCC to option? :) i have it enabled on all my accounts (i bcc everything to myself..) and it's always worked till i dist-upgraded to hardy.. now when i compose a new message the BCC doesn't get added automatically till i switch accounts and go back to my account of choice
[00:11] <dmsuperman> How can I determine which buttons are used by xbindkeysrc? For example: "xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Alt_L]\[Right]""

[00:11] <Falling-Inferno> I have 2 ipods and i plugged one in..And I unplugged it but the icon stayed and i did it agian and i did it to my other ipod now i have 3 ipod icons sitting on my desk top and 3 empty folders in my Media folder how do i get rid of it.
[00:12] <Scunizi> GhostFish: if you did that then you have the same issue I had with server.. go to #vmware and ask.. there is a solution but it's weird.. it might also be listed on vmware's site.
[00:12] <fiyawerx> or follow the restricted driver instructions, it worked fine for my 8800gts 320
[00:12] <bmk789> anyone used the palm bluetooth GPS?
[00:12] <ubuntu__> i cant find restricted drivers

[00:13] <antibody> and do that

[00:13] <antibody> iHow do I install/use EnvyNG? <- it even has this part
[00:13] <ubuntu__> i cant get to that
[00:13] <shady> no sound after uninstalling pulseaudio
[00:13] <Scunizi> !envy | antibody
[00:13] <ubuntu__> i go system/adminstation/ and theres not retricted driver part
[00:13] <cafuego> ubuntu__: sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules
[00:14] <shady> any command to reconfigure the alsa driver?????

[00:14] <rdvade> hey, I ran nmap on a system running Ubuntu server and I found this:"2000/tcp open  nbd         Network Block Device". When I connect from telnet it returns "NBDMAGICB☻üå↕╝0♥". I have no idea what this is, anyone got any idea?
[00:14] <cafuego> ubuntu__: After that, you need to create an config file for X that uses the new driver.
[00:14] <sydlex> danand: oh.  hehe.  i love kde but kubuntu seems to have messed up hal permissions (#kubuntu hasnt been much help), and i want a debian/ubuntu-based system so i cant go to another distro with kde base.  i like gnome too, and ubuntu rocks as far as tools and stability go, so i can live with it.
[00:14] <ubuntu__> its not installing them
[00:14] <evilbug> i need a little help with my video driver in hardy.
[00:14] <fiyawerx> ubuntu__ in 8.04 its system -> administartion -> hardware drivers

[00:14] <ubuntu__> nvm
[00:14] <ubuntu__> it did

[00:14] <jasperarcher> hello, i am about to re-install 8.04 onto my laptop, and i want to make sure that i partition it correctly this time.  so far i have only been able to boot from a USB stick (how i installed it the first time)... i think that i am running ubuntu off of the stick now instead of my internal HD like i want to... i am about to "Prepare disk space" in the install screen -- does anyone have any pointers?
[00:15] <danand> sydlex - use fluxbox :)
[00:15] <cafuego> xserver-xorg even
[00:15] <Scunizi> rdvade: if nobody knows here.. you might ask in #ubuntu-server
[00:15] <ubuntu__> its doing something
[00:15] <genii> rdvade: Why don't you look up what service is assigned to port 2000 then you might have some idea
[00:15] <sydlex> thank you for your help, everyone; i need to go.  danand, ill look at fluxbox :-P ive also considered enlightenment.  we shall see
[00:15] <ubuntu__> if this works ill give you a hig and jump up and down
[00:15] <ubuntu__> hug
[00:15] <danand> shady - dpkg-reconfigure??
[00:15] <rdvade> scunizi: ill do that
[00:15] <cafuego> rdvade: The system is exposing a raw block device to the network.
[00:15] <Scunizi> jasperarcher: 9-12 gigs for root /.... 1 gig max for swap.. the rest for home,, /home
[00:15] <ubuntu__> how do you find codes like that?
[00:16] <cafuego> ubuntu__: It will work.
[00:16] <Ace1> Hello, can anyone help me out? I'm using an Acer Aspire 5585WXMi laptop. The Intel Wireless Driver iwl3945 seems to be loaded, but "disabled" ? When I press the witch to turn on Wifi on the laptop nothing happens.
[00:16] <cafuego> ubuntu__: commands? 13 years of Linux use helps :-)
[00:16] <sebsebseb> Ace1:  yes wireless can be a right issue with Linux
[00:16] <jasperarcher> Scunizi: thank you... so i should choose "Manual" partition and then do it like that?
[00:16] <ubuntu__> it didnt work
[00:17] <shady> dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils    I guess
[00:17] <Falling-Inferno> I have 2 ipods and i plugged one in..And I unplugged it but the icon stayed and i did it agian and i did it to my other ipod now i have 3 ipod icons sitting on my desk top and 3 empty folders in my Media folder how do i get rid of it.
[00:17] <Ace1> It was working okay with 7.10, but once I switched to 8.04 it stopped
[00:17] <fiyawerx> ubuntu__ whwat was the last command you ran
[00:17] <sebsebseb> Ace1:  since the propritary hardware companies that carn't be bothered to suppourt there wireless devices with it
[00:17] <cafuego> ubuntu__: What didn't it do that you thought it should?
[00:17] <ubuntu__> sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules
[00:17] <genii> rdvade: The list is here http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
[00:17] <danand> shady - alsa-base?
[00:17] <sebsebseb> Ace1: well 8.04 will have a newer kernel
[00:17] <fiyawerx> cafuego: i dont think he even has nvidia-glx installed ye
[00:17] <Scunizi> jasperarcher: that would be my recommendation.. that way if you have to reinstall your data in /home will remain :)
[00:17] <sebsebseb> Acd1: re install the driver?
[00:17] <fiyawerx> t
[00:17] <cafuego> fiyawerx: he should now
[00:17] <shady> ok, hold on
[00:17] <tate> Do any of you have a working nVidia MCP55 High Definition Audio?
[00:17] <hoggie> Yo.. someone can help out with configuring External Lcd screen on Kubuntu Hardyheron, i cant change any settings in Display..?
[00:17] <ubuntu__> um make my video card work
[00:17] <rdvade> genii: I did that before coming here, but that I still dont what its doing there. netstart -p | grep 2000 lists it inetd
[00:17] <ubuntu__> so i can se cool effects
[00:17] <fiyawerx> ubuntu__ what was the last command you ran that "didnt work"
[00:17] <cafuego> ubuntu__: Did that command download and install stuff?
[00:17] <sixwheel> Ace go back to 7.10 there seems to be a problem in 8.4 with wifi
[00:17] <ubuntu__> in visual effects
[00:18] <evilbug> in hardy my max resolution is 1024x800 but in gutsy it used to be 1280x1024 and i'm using the restricted driver.any clue why?
[00:18] <jasperarcher> Scunizi: right now it is also listing sdb1, my 4GiB USB drive... what should I do about that?
[00:18] <ubuntu__> yes it did
[00:18] <GhostFish> scunizi any way you might remember how to fix it #vmware is dead ... right now
[00:18] <spiniker> hello
[00:18] <ubuntu__> it downlaoded
[00:18] <cafuego> Ok, so it worked.
[00:18] <ubuntu__> and installed
[00:18] <ubuntu__> and didnt work
[00:18] <Y-Town> Falling-Inferno: unmount the ipod first by right click and unmount
[00:18] <FloodBot1> ubuntu__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:18]  * fiyawerx bangs his head
[00:18] <Scunizi> GhostFish: I'll look.. give me some time.
[00:18] <spiniker> im having problems with my graphics card
[00:18] <GhostFish> k
[00:18] <cafuego> ubuntu__: Now, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[00:18] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:18] <ubuntu__> sorry
[00:18] <danbhfive> ubuntu__: uninstall that stuff
[00:18] <spiniker> im using 8.04
[00:18] <ph8_> does anyone have any suggestions? i'm playing with 'djplay' - a dj'ing tool, it uses the 'jack' audio server - at present anything i play through it is crackly and doesn't sound good, although it's recogniseable - what should i be looking to tweak?
[00:18] <danbhfive> ubuntu__: and use the restricted drivers manager
[00:18] <cafuego> ubuntu__: That will configure the X server. You will need to tell it to use the nvidia driver.
[00:18] <spiniker> evrytime i switched my resolution to 1024x768 i get some lines on my screen
[00:19] <Scunizi> GhostFish: just ignore it.. did you put the live cd on a usb? Is that what you're booting from? or do you have it on cd? if it's cd disconnect the usb and just boot from the cd.
[00:19] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:19] <ubuntu__> slow donw
[00:19] <ubuntu__> now what
[00:19] <ubuntu__> blue thing came up
[00:19] <fiyawerx> read the blue thing
[00:19] <ubuntu__> click yes or no
[00:19] <cafuego> ubuntu__: It will ask a lot of stuff, answer the questuions you can, leave the other at their defaults.
[00:19] <ubuntu__> and after i do this then what so i do
[00:19] <Ace1> Is there a way to manually enable the wifi?
[00:20] <cafuego> ubuntu__: The important ones are telling it to use 'nvidia' and picking 'Simple' for the screen setup.
[00:20] <Scunizi> GhostFish: I actually bookmarked it.. it says it's for server but might be worth a shot.  http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04
[00:20] <fiyawerx> then you restart x, and personally, i run nvidia-settings to fine tune things
[00:20] <shady> ifconfig interface inet up
[00:20] <shady> Acel
[00:20] <johninLex> Can anyone send me in the right direction to get some computer help that is way over my head, please
[00:20] <ubuntu__> can we go in privite chat plz
[00:20] <cafuego> ubuntu__: When done and the new config files is saved, logout, hit ctrl-alt-backspace and log back in.
[00:20] <sixwheel> Ace no.. wifi does not work in 8.4
[00:20] <Ace1> I'll try that shady
[00:20] <Scunizi> !ask | johninLex
[00:20] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:20] <ubuntu__> can we go in provite chat
[00:20] <fiyawerx> sixwheel, thats a fairly generic statement, does "NO" wifi work in 8.04?
[00:20] <sixwheel> Goback to 7.10 untill it is fixed
[00:20] <cafuego> Sorry, no.
[00:21] <genii> rdvade: If it's running on your box, open the inetd.conf/xinetd.conf file and see if 2000 is listed for some app to run (appname is at end). If not there likely it's some remapped common port from your router
[00:21] <spiniker> hello
[00:21] <Myrtti> !msg > ubuntu__
[00:21] <sixwheel> wifi does not work in 8.4
[00:21] <Scunizi> johninLex: ask away!
[00:21] <Dante123> Hi all, I am running windows under vbox (non-open source version- but still free) using Ubuntu 7.10.  I have been thinking of upgrading my Ubuntu to 8.04- using the update manager.  Anyone forsee any problems doing this and still running windows under vbox?
[00:21] <fiyawerx> sixwheel, for any wifi card? or just the one your trying
[00:22] <spiniker> im having problems with my nvidia graphics card
[00:22] <Pusselgenerator> my wifi is sure working...
[00:22] <Dante123> spiniker what kinds of problems?
[00:22] <spiniker> is there a room in which o could go
[00:22] <johninLex> I have to say I am sorry, I am using windows, trying to burn an ISO but for some reason I I cant find my cdrw driver either one of them
[00:22] <Scunizi> Dante123: use partimage to put your system back as it was "just in case"
[00:22] <Y-Town> My wifi works fine
[00:22] <spiniker> well when i choose the 1024x768 i keep seeing some lines
[00:22] <x__> anyone have problems with audiobooks in MP4 format not coming up as the correct duration?
[00:22] <Dante123> Scunizi please elaborate for this newbie
[00:23] <Dante123> are you using restricted driver spiniker
[00:23] <spiniker> yes
[00:23] <sixwheel> I have been here for a few days..and I have not seen anyone that got wif working. I worked on it for 3 days and I could not get to work.i
[00:23] <johninLex> I was using ubuntu 8.04 and was loving it and after a kick off party for Hardy I no longer had either OS
[00:23] <spiniker> should i use the driver that came with the card?
[00:23] <Dante123> does this problem only happen in that particular mode spiniker?
[00:23] <fiyawerx> spiniker, what card do you have?
[00:24] <spiniker> yes only on 1024x768
[00:24] <Pusselgenerator> sixwheel: my wifi is working, and most other people has got their wifi working. It's probably just your card.
[00:24] <Y-Town> sixwheel: guess im not just anyone
[00:24] <Scunizi> Dante123: partimage is a program. google it.. it's a live cd.. you can backup your entire partition containing your linux install. save it on an external HD if you have one or a secondary internal.. if the upgrade doesn't work use partimage to put the old system back where it belongs.
[00:24] <ubuntu__> im stuck
[00:24] <Ace1> sixwheel, that's not good to know :(
[00:24] <dannyboy> how can i get ubuntu to play dvd movies?
[00:24] <Dante123> is it a linux driver?
[00:24] <ubuntu__> its asking foe what type of keyboard i should use
[00:24] <[Lowkey]> I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :)
[00:24] <Scunizi> spiniker: what program are you trying to use to burn the iso?
[00:24] <sixwheel> what kind of card do you have?
[00:24] <shady> danand, it just worked
[00:24] <spiniker> its agp geforce
[00:24] <shady> thanks
[00:24] <danbhfive> !codecs | dannyboy
[00:24] <danand> !dvd | dannyboy
[00:24] <spiniker> 256mb
[00:24] <Mazus> ca.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[00:25] <danand> shady - cool :)
[00:25] <Dante123> Scunizi thank you.
[00:25] <spiniker> fx5500
[00:25] <johninLex> I reinstalled windows, and after trying to reinstall ubuntu,  from cd my computer does not find any cd drivers on my computer, can anyone help me fix this where I can install ubuntu please
[00:25] <Scunizi> Dante123: np
[00:25] <Oggu> http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png   How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap?
[00:25] <cafuego> ubuntu__: US (is what it should default to)
[00:25] <fiyawerx> spiniker, that should be fine with the restricted drivers, under system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[00:25] <fiyawerx> then click enable for nvidia
[00:25] <Ntemis> hello
[00:25] <spiniker> ok wait ill try..
[00:25] <ubuntu__> ya
[00:25] <ubuntu__> its askeing me to type the tyoe of keyboard
[00:25] <ubuntu__> where do i type it
[00:25] <Ntemis> i have some problems with wine on ubuntu hardy heron
[00:25] <Ace1> Why isn't there an option to use the previous driver? (ipl instead of iwl)
[00:26] <shady> now, I also have a problem with the xrandr command on a tablet pc
[00:26] <spiniker> well it says its in use
[00:26] <Fishscene> Ntemis, like what?
[00:26] <spiniker> but i still get some lines
[00:26] <shady> anybody familiar with that??
[00:26] <Scunizi> johninLex: sounds like it's just not booting from the cd is that right?
[00:26] <cafuego> ubuntu__: If its preselected, just hit tab until OK is hilighted and then hit return.
[00:26] <spiniker> not very visible but one would actually notice
[00:26] <Ntemis> i installed slysoft clonedrive v5 and now i cannot remove the shortcut on the program files menu
[00:26] <illiterate> o
[00:26] <ubuntu__> oh
[00:26] <ubuntu__> thz
[00:26] <Ntemis> ever if i have unistalled it
[00:26] <johninLex> no the whole computer does not see any cd drive Scunizi
[00:26] <allquixotic> I have an Ubuntu Server box that isn't bringing up the 'lo' interface at boot, but that's crucial for many server processes. "sudo ifconfig lo up" does the trick, but how can I set it to do this upon boot (early in the boot process so daemons can initiate connections on <IP_ADDRESS>)?
[00:27] <Ntemis> the shortcut stays there
[00:27] <earthsound> does anyone have any decent knowledge of GRUM?
[00:27] <rdvade> genii: Thanks, phew its just LTSP, I forgot I was messing with that. Thought it might have been those religious nutcases who hacked the server last time (when it run windows server 2003) and placed some indecipharable rubbish about hell
[00:27] <Ntemis> how i can remove it?
[00:27] <earthsound> *GRUB
[00:27] <spiniker> i have g-mount iso by the way
[00:27] <Fishscene> Ntemis, I've had that problem in Ubuntu 7.x- I'm not sure why or how to get rid of it
[00:27] <Scunizi> johninLex: did you happen to open your computer at all?  if so you might need to just check the connections to the cdrom
[00:27] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:27] <Ntemis> i thought to apt-get remove wine and apt-get install it again
[00:27] <danbhfive> earthsound: I have a webpage with lots of grub info
[00:27] <dmsuperman> With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key?
[00:27] <Falling-Inferno> Y-Town: I don't have any ipods plugged in there just files that remained and i want to get rid of them
[00:27] <ubuntu__> i went thigh keyboard questions
[00:27] <ubuntu__> then it went out of it
[00:27] <Ntemis> but this is not a fix!
[00:28] <ubuntu__> so now what do i do
[00:28] <genii> rdvade: Ah, nothing to worry over then
[00:28] <Ntemis> unfortunately
[00:28] <cafuego> ubuntu__: continue the dialog until it says it has saved the new config file.
[00:28] <Oggu> http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png   How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap?
[00:28] <blazebud> im having problems playing xvid files using totem-gstreamer (gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg installed). the videos play VERY slowly, like 1 frame per second. is this a known problem with a fix?
[00:28] <ubuntu__> it boright be back to the kernal
[00:28] <johninLex> Scunizi  let me check the mother board are you going to bee here foe a little bit
[00:28] <earthsound> danbhfive: GRUB is throwing an error 22 (i think it's the no partition error, but it only give the #) when I add a slave IDE HD
[00:28] <Scunizi> johninLex: the other thing you could try is to reboot and hit the "Delete" key when the computer beeps.. that should dump you into the bios setup screen look in there to see if the cd is listed.. then escape save and
[00:28] <x__> anyone have any idea why mp4's are coming up with the wrong duration? ive tried multiple players and i get the same result 4:21 when it should be 6:00
[00:28] <[Lowkey]> I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :)
[00:28] <Scunizi> johninLex: for a little bit.
[00:28] <danand> allquixotic - that interface should be brought up automatically - check your /etc/network/interfaces file. you should have a listing like # Loopback Device
[00:28] <danand> auto lo
[00:29] <shady> no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted
[00:29] <spiniker> dante123: is there any way i could adjust it or what?
[00:29] <cafuego> ubuntu__: Ok, so you also told it about which driver to use and the screen size?
[00:29] <danand> iface lo inet loopback
[00:29] <ubuntu__> no
[00:29] <ubuntu__> it didnt ask about that
[00:29] <johninLex> ok Scunizi I should not be long
[00:29] <hack> hi
[00:29] <ubuntu__> it was asking about my keyboard
[00:29] <Synergy_Peace> How does one enable Pulse Audio in hardy please?
[00:29] <Scunizi> johninLex: k
[00:29] <danbhfive> earthsound: I think that means that it can't find the menu.lst
[00:29] <cafuego> ubuntu__: *obly* the keyboard?
[00:29] <earthsound> normally, I have a master IDE HD with Winblows XP & a SATA HD with 4 partitions: 1st NTFS storage space, 2 ext3 & a swap partition
[00:29] <Ntemis> also how i can make xarchiver  when it unrars or unzip files to create a folder with the archives name for it
[00:29] <cafuego> That's not right. hrm.
[00:29] <ubuntu__> obly?????
[00:29] <Ntemis> and put the data there
[00:30] <Ntemis> is there something to do to make it work like that?
[00:30] <allquixotic> danand: /etc/network/interfaces has "auto lo eth1" followed by iface eth1 inet static (because this server is public internet-facing so needs static IP)
[00:30] <earthsound> and it's set to boot hd(1,2) normally (my ubuntu installation)
[00:30] <ubuntu__> so it broght me back to the terminal without asking me any video card things did i do something rong
[00:30] <danbhfive> !fixgrub | earthsound I _think_ following the windows directions should do the trick.  Connect your drive, and follow the recovery instructions to reinstall grub
[00:30] <earthsound> but when I add an IDE HD to the slave portion of the IDE cable (BIOS detects all 3 drives) i cannot get to the GRUB menu :|
[00:30] <aventin> hello all, in the new 8.04, would i be able to play hardware accelerated video? i couldn't do it when i last installed ubuntu 7.04 and it was kind of a dealbreaker for me. (graphics card: intel gma950)
[00:31] <shady> no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted,  advice pleeeeeease
[00:31] <danand> allquixotic - no entry for lo ??
[00:31] <Ntemis> i want xarchiver when extracting files to put them into a folder and not on the path that the rar/zip file is!
[00:31] <allquixotic> danand: /etc/network/interfaces says "auto lo eth1" but does not otherwise mention lo
[00:31] <YouKnowMe> Hello all, I use the new samba GUI and point it towards my music folder, but I can't find it on my windows machine.. I did everything right, gave guest access read and write and all that good stuff. But the changes never appear in smb.conf.. Help?
[00:31] <dmsuperman> With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key?
[00:31] <earthsound> I can do this temporarily while the 2nd IDE HD is plugged in?
[00:31] <shady> does it have to do with the X server config, or with the driver itself???
[00:31] <sam__> can anyone help me to get firewire working pleade
[00:31] <Ntemis> if anyone knows how to accomplish this please tell
[00:31] <allquixotic> danand: the strangest part is that "sudo ifconfig lo up" solves the problem as if it knows exactly what to do with lo
[00:31] <danbhfive> earthsound: I'm guessing, but maybe the addition of the drive is changing the boot order of the drives, and hd1 is becoming hd2, so grub cant find it
[00:31] <sam__> please?
[00:32] <Synergy_Peace> How does one enable Pulse Audio in Hardy please?
[00:32] <Ntemis> or is there any other program to do this or is there a way to assosiate rar/zip files with winrar?
[00:32] <ubuntu__> so what do i do now
[00:32] <nickellery> Ntemis: just drag the file into the folder when extracting
[00:32] <cafuego> ubuntu__: We'l;l try it again, but slightly differently.
[00:32] <earthsound> that could be it, as well. though I think my BIOS has a setting for SCSI-SATA boot order and it's set to SCSI (I believe)  which I assumed it was treating IDE as SCSI
[00:32] <ubuntu__> i did
[00:32] <cafuego> ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'
[00:32] <nickellery> Ntemis: or rather, open up the archive, and drag the file into the folder of your choice
[00:32] <ubuntu__> its only asking me keyboard things
[00:32] <mvinsc> hello
[00:32] <ubuntu__> k ill try agian
[00:32] <ubuntu__> brb
[00:32] <cafuego> that should ask ALL its questions, including about gfx card and screen.
[00:33] <Y-Town> Synergy_Peace: system/preferences/sound
[00:33] <earthsound> i'm in ubuntu right now...when I unplug the 2nd IDE HD GRUB works just fine :|
[00:33] <Ntemis> nickellery:then i have to create a folder and then rename the folder after i have unziped the file to take it and drag it into it
[00:33] <ubuntu__> thats a diff code
[00:33] <Ntemis> Too much work
[00:33] <sam__> Synergy_Peace,  in the menus somewhere under sound
[00:33] <poseidon> !nvidia
[00:33] <[Lowkey]> I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :)
[00:33] <cafuego> it's a command, no code. Probably easier for helpers to refer to it as such.
[00:33] <ubuntu__> that code does nothing
[00:33] <nickellery> Ntemis: what type of archive are you trying to extract?
[00:33] <danand> allquixotic - hmmm that sounds wrong to me - probably should just be auto lo rather than auto lo eth1. my (standard) /etc/network/interfaces file has - auto lo on one line followed by iface lo inet loopback on the next ...
[00:33] <simNIX> Im looking for a users xinitrc content but its not in the home dir ?
[00:34] <Ntemis> rar mainly
[00:34] <Oggu> http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png   How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap?
[00:34] <x__> anyone have any idea why mp4's are coming up with the wrong duration? ive tried multiple players and i get the same result 4:21 when it should be 6:00
[00:34] <Ntemis> but i want the same for zipped ones
[00:34] <Scunizi> earthsound: change your boot order and let the drive that works be #1 in the boot process
[00:34] <paulcross> JUST HEARD A GREAT NEWS. may have a big influence to IT industry and of course to ubuntu. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080501155234.htm
[00:34] <danbhfive> Oggu: whats the problem, cant gparted do it for you?
[00:34] <Synergy_Peace> what packages do i install for pulse audio?
[00:34] <nickellery> ntemis: you can use winrar to unrar rar files
[00:34] <Oggu> danbhfive: It doesn't combien the free space inte one partition
[00:34] <ubuntu__> um now what that new code you gave me does nothing
[00:34] <allquixotic> danand: I didn't have the "iface lo inet loopback" in there at all. Added that, and restarting to see if that does the trick :)
[00:34] <sam__> Synergy_Peace, its already installed I think
[00:35] <nickellery> ntemis: sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[00:35] <cafuego> ubuntu__: If that does not bring up a configuration screen then something is pretty wrong with your system, I'd hazard.
[00:35] <sam__> look at the drop down boxes in preferences> sound
[00:35] <danand> allquixotic  - just try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... no need for reboot...
[00:35] <ubuntu__> somethig came up
[00:35] <mvinsc> so from everything i've read, there is no way to get aircrack to work with my Broadcom wireless card. does anyone have any advice??
[00:35] <danbhfive> Oggu: how much ram do you have?
[00:35] <ubuntu__> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow
[00:35] <ubuntu__> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: please specify a package to reconfigure
[00:36] <Ntemis> nickellery you are confused !
[00:36] <allquixotic> danand: yes, but there's no way to know for sure because lo is already up on this boot, I brought it up manually. besides, I need to reboot for installing kernel updates :)
[00:36] <earthsound> Scunizi: the only problem is that I cannot get to the GRUB menu to press e to edit it and select the correct HD to boot from :(
[00:36] <cafuego> ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg'
[00:36] <nickellery> Ntemis: sorry, what is the problem then
[00:36] <Oggu> danbhfive: 2.5gb
[00:36] <Scunizi> johninLex: earthsound do it in the bios of the computer
[00:36] <danand> allquixotic - ok :)
[00:36] <cafuego> ubuntu__: Please use it as I typed it. Not half missing.
[00:36] <ubuntu__> now it worked
[00:36] <Ntemis> you have mixed up rar/unrar support of xarchiver with winrar program
[00:36] <ubuntu__> thats werid
[00:36] <ubuntu__> o well
[00:36] <ubuntu__> brb
[00:36] <Ntemis> :)
[00:36] <danbhfive> Oggu: start by creating a swap space at the beginning of the drive, about 3g
[00:36] <Oggu> danbhfive: It looked like this before, deleted the partitions in extended     http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part.png
[00:36] <cafuego> mvinsc: if you want to sniff traffic, you'll need a card with monitor mode support i guess
[00:37] <Y-Town> anyone know of a good app for docking and undocking a dell laptop?
[00:37] <danbhfive> Oggu: do you want a separate home directory?
[00:37] <shady> tablet pc support please
[00:37] <Oggu> no
[00:37] <Mattevt> where are the "power settings" located. ie: where can I choose what happens when I close my laptop
[00:37] <Ntemis> apt-get install rar unrar will make xarchiver able to unrar and rar
[00:37] <danbhfive> Oggu: * partition?
[00:37] <Oggu> danbhfive: just an ext partiton for my files
[00:37] <Oggu> ubuntu is on sda3
[00:37] <nickellery> Ntemis: what I am trying to mention is that instead of using xarchiver, you can use winrar
[00:37] <earthsound> Scunizi: ok, i'm going to come in here on another machine & reboot this one
[00:37] <cafuego> shady: tablets are supported, provided thy can use the wacom drivers.
[00:37] <mvinsc> cafuego: new laptop, i really don't want to swap parts
[00:37] <Ntemis> i want to use winrar
[00:38] <shady> right I know cafuego
[00:38] <cafuego> mvinsc: If you're stuck with a broadcom chip, you won't be sniffing wifi traffic. Easy as that.
[00:38] <Ntemis> is it possible to make ubuntu open rar and zip files with winrar?
[00:38] <danbhfive> Oggu: right click the /dev/sda3 and choose edit,  I think you should be able to expand its size
[00:38] <ubuntu__> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
[00:38] <ubuntu__> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[00:38] <ubuntu__>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080502163908
[00:38] <shady> however this is not a wacom component
[00:38] <shady> it is a Fujitsu
[00:38] <shady> FPI2004
[00:38] <mvinsc> cafuego: thanks :-(
[00:38] <ubuntu__> it didnt ask me any video questons
[00:38] <Oggu> danbhfive: think i have to unmount it then..
[00:39] <cafuego> ubuntu__: Then I'm afraid I can't help
[00:39] <shady> Finepoint Digitizer actually
[00:39] <ubuntu__> plz
[00:39] <x__> anyone have any idea why mp4's are coming up with the wrong duration? ive tried multiple players and i get the same result 4:21 when it should be 6:00
[00:39] <danbhfive> Oggu: yes
[00:39] <ubuntu__> why is it asking alot of keyboard questions
[00:39] <Simonft> cafuego: mvinsc: broadcom can be made work
[00:39] <Mattevt> oh...nevermind, stupid question. I found it
[00:39] <blazebud> im having problems playing xvid files using totem-gstreamer (gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg installed). the videos play VERY slowly, like 1 frame per second. is this a known problem with a fix?
[00:39] <Oggu> danbhfive: tou mean expand it, and the ntake away space at the end and create my new?
[00:39] <Simonft> cafuego: too late, but for the record, it can be fixed
[00:39] <ubuntu__> im going to read the whole thing this time
[00:39] <Scunizi> cafuego: my wacom graphire 4 stopped working after the upgrade.. any hints to get it working again?
[00:40] <ubuntu__> not skipping to the end
[00:40] <danbhfive> Oggu: sorry, I didnt follow that
[00:40] <YouKnowMe> Hello all, I use the new samba GUI and point it towards my music folder, but I can't find it on my windows machine.. I did everything right, gave guest access read and write and all that good stuff. But the changes never appear in smb.conf.. Help?
[00:40] <simNIX> what X config file on Ubuntu 8 holds what gets loaded to make up the desktop as I see it when I login as a regular user ?
[00:40] <johninLex> Scunizi, I still dont have either cdrw drive showing
[00:40] <cafuego> shady: http://beta1.suse.com/private/dkukawka/tabletPC/device_specific/Gateway_M280e/INSTALL
[00:40] <nickellery> Ntemis: yes, it is.  sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[00:40] <Dante123> spiniker you still there?
[00:40] <cafuego> Scunizi: Check the comments down the bottom of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - it probably put '#' chars in front of the wacom drivers
[00:40] <Y-Town> anyone know of a good app for docking and undocking a dell laptop?
[00:40] <Oggu> danbhfive: Do you mean that i shoukld expand my sda3 with the space beetwen it and my new swap. then decrease it and put all the free space at the end
[00:41] <Scunizi> johninLex: sounds like an issue I had with a hP lightscribe I had.. used it 4 times and it was recognized but wouldn't work.. sorry I"m stuck for answers on this one. :(
[00:41] <shady> thanks cafuego, let me take a look at it, I already did all that I think, hold on
[00:41] <stemount^> Does Ubuntu even work with lightscribe drives?
[00:41] <cafuego> stemount^: yes
[00:41] <danbhfive> Oggu: why do you want the free space at the end?

[00:42] <yowshi> whats the command to find outr whats using my sound
[00:42] <cafuego> stemount^: They lost RPM files. Convert them to .deb via `alien' before installing them.
[00:42] <danbhfive> Oggu: why not just expand the current one to fill the space?
[00:42] <osoji> hi- i can't get conky to run on start up. its always get covered by the wallpaper. i tried "/usr/bin/conky" , "sleep 10 && conky", "conky &" nothing works

[00:42] <crazyeight> what's the default window manager for Ubuntu.. Gnome?
[00:42] <Scunizi> cafuego: check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/9630/
[00:42] <Oggu> danbhfive: 50gb sda3*
[00:42] <Simonft> crazyeight: yes

[00:43] <cafuego> Scunizi: Hmmyeah, that looks fine.
[00:43] <shady> although it does track pointer
[00:43] <danbhfive> Oggu: i see, well, I don't know.  I'm sure gparted can do it for you.  I bet there is a move partition option.  I would click around.  If it is greyed out, then you probably need to use the livecd
[00:44] <cafuego> Scunizi: Anything in your logs if/when you unplug and replug the tablet?
[00:44] <Scunizi> cafuego: you mean dmesg?
[00:44] <cafuego> aye
[00:44] <Scunizi> cafuego: I'll check
[00:44] <danbhfive> crazyeight: i dont think gnome is a window manager.  Metacity I think is the answer.
[00:44] <dmsuperman> How can I determine which button number corresponds to which button on my mouse?

[00:46] <yowshi> Gurudas: whats lsof mean so i can better remember it
[00:47] <spiniker> is there a room for nvidia on ubuntu?
[00:47] <cafuego> dmsuperman: Then I don't know, soz
[00:47] <marcel> I have ubuntu 8.04 installed under VMware, how can I see my Windows XP harddrive?
[00:47] <amenado> yowshi-> man lsof
[00:47] <Scunizi> johninLex: no.. it should have installed a generic.. however booting from an Ubuntu live cd.. if that doesn't work then maybe the cd is not the 1st item on the boot list in bios.. if it is and still doesn't boot then the cd is probably bad :(
[00:47] <ubuntu__> is there any other codes that i should try
[00:47]  * earthsound is back
[00:47] <osoji> alternatively, does anyone know how to run conky without needing to constantly have a terminal windows open?
[00:47] <ubuntu__> i got this driver file on my desktop for my video card why dont i use it
[00:47] <danbhfive> dmsuperman: your buttons are numbered sequencially, starting at either 1 or 0
[00:47] <cafuego> Scunizi: Any joy with dmesg?
[00:47] <nickellery> marcel: I would suggest moving files over a network
[00:47] <yowshi> amenado: gee your a big help. the time it took you to post that line could have been used typing ou8t the 4 words that lsof stands for
[00:47] <GoSox> this is the second time in a row i've gotten an "Executing 'grub-install (hd0) failed/ This is a fatal error." error message while trying to install Ubuntu on my MacBook
[00:47] <Khisanth> dmsuperman: you don't see something like "state 0x210, button 2, same_screen YES" when you click a button while the cursor is in the xev window?
[00:47] <Scunizi> cafuego: interesting.. I had it plugged into a separate usb pci card and after I switched it to the front of the computer it lit up
[00:47] <Gurudas> yowshi: lsof / list open files
[00:48] <sektor> how can i check for empty disk space ?
[00:48] <docmur> what does this message mean from Tar
[00:48] <marcel> so, there is no way I could mount ntfs partition?
[00:48] <dmsuperman> Khisanth, I do for only a few buttons, most of them don't say "button X" or anything like that
[00:48] <Scunizi> cafuego: I'll have to check that card out and see if it's seated correctly or just bad
[00:48] <docmur> tar: /media/clfs: file changed as we read it
[00:48] <yowshi> Gurudas: thanks
[00:48] <cafuego> Scunizi: If it still doesn't work, check that /dev/input/wacom exists
[00:48] <ubuntu__> i need help to get my vid card working
[00:48] <shady> ntfs3g
[00:48] <earthsound> waiting for my machine to reboot. has anyone else had slower shutdowns/reboots after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04?
[00:48] <Gurudas> np mate ;)
[00:48] <Starnestommy> docmur: it means that the file it was trying to access was modified by something else while tar was reading iy
[00:48] <amenado> yowshi-> geesh i didnt know you want to be lazy
[00:48] <cafuego> Scunizi: The udev rule creating it may have gotten removed on upgrade
[00:48] <shady> marcel ntfs3g
[00:49] <docmur> is it serious
[00:49] <Starnestommy> *it
[00:49] <Starnestommy> docmur: in almost all cases, no
[00:49] <jlc> I need to download and install a .tar.gz file, I can handle the download how do I install it?
[00:49] <Scunizi> cafuego: I can move the cursor with the pin now.. but not without touching the tablet.. I'll try with gimp
[00:49] <docmur> okay
[00:49] <docmur> good then
[00:49] <yowshi> amenado: i dont but the man pagve doesnt have what lsof stands for
[00:49] <Starnestommy> jlc: extract it then read the README or INSTALL files in it
[00:49] <Ntemis> i want to assosiate rar files with windows winrar
[00:49] <dannyboy> how can i get an HTC pocket pc cell phone to work under ubuntu?
[00:49] <yowshi> amenado: i simply asked for context so i could better remember the command
[00:49] <danand> GoSox - check your bios doesn't have Master Boot Sector protection enables
[00:49] <amenado> yowshi can you read again?  man lsof its the first line
[00:50] <GoSox> danand: no idea what that means
[00:50] <ibleed> gftp in gutsy seems to crash for no reason at all.  fully updated, new configuration file.  i'm guessing 'it just happens'
[00:50] <jlc> starnestommy, ty, will try.
[00:50] <ubuntu__> plz help me
[00:50] <Ice_Wewe> This is going to sound random, but I downloaded pictures from my phone using bitpim and a data cable, but neither gqview or gimp will open them. A guide I'm following suggests trying Photoshop, but I don't have it...
[00:50] <amenado> yowshi you dont like to be told to read the man pages?
[00:50] <sektor> how can i check for empty disk space ?
[00:50] <Starnestommy> ubuntu__: what do you need help with?
[00:50] <Starnestommy> sektor: df -h
[00:50] <yowshi> amenado: no i dont they are confusing not well written and for people with more advanced knowledge then i have
[00:50] <Ice_Wewe> so, what programs are out there that will open practically any type of image, regardless of suffix
[00:50] <ubuntu__> my video card doesent not work
[00:50] <yowshi> amenado: most of the time anyway
[00:50] <allquixotic> danand: Adding that line fixed the problem with lo. Thanks!
[00:50] <amenado> yowshi->  then your lazyness is not my problem
[00:50] <Starnestommy> ubuntu__: what type of videocard?
[00:51] <ubuntu__> for visual effects
[00:51] <CYREX> Ntemis: There is a package called unrar and unrar-free
[00:51] <CYREX> Ntemis: Download those and you can extract rar files
[00:51] <CYREX> Ntemis: I also recommend p7zip-full
[00:51] <ubuntu__> 8800 gts 512
[00:51] <Ntemis> i want to assosiate rar files with windows winrar is there a way?
[00:51] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: have you installed the NVidia drivers?
[00:51] <yowshi> amenado: it isnt laziness it is a lack of being able to understand the man pages
[00:51] <ubuntu__> i dont know how
[00:51] <sebsebseb> Ntemius:  you want to use WinRAR inside Ubuntu@?
[00:51] <Prez00> have any bug fixes been uploaded to hardy repositories yet?
[00:51] <spiniker> starnestommy:im having problems with my video card also
[00:51] <ubuntu__> i got it on my desktop dont know how to install
[00:51] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: so, you're on the liveCD?
[00:52] <sebsebseb> Ntemis:  you want to use WinRAR inside Ubuntu?
[00:52] <amenado> yowshi you asked what it stood for, and i responded  man lsof,  now hard or difficult is that to read ?
[00:52] <ubuntu__> yes
[00:52] <Starnestommy> spiniker: what kind of problems?
[00:52] <ubuntu__> i want to get this working
[00:52] <yowshi> grrr somethkng else not listed is jamming my soundcard
[00:52] <FastZ> yowshi, lsof stands for "list open files" it says so on the second line of the man page.
[00:52] <ubuntu__> beffor i install ubuntu
[00:52] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: there is no accelerated graphics support for NVidia cards WITHIN the LiveCD
[00:52] <ubuntu__> you mean you have to install it for it to work
[00:52] <Scunizi> cafuego: looks like a reboot might be in order to sort it out. also I wanted to ask.. did you notice in my xorg that I had the "force Device" on and Option "usb" "on" commented out?  would that make a difference?
[00:52] <Starnestommy> ubuntu__: you'll need to install then fix it after doing that
[00:52] <spiniker> i tried switching my screen resolution
[00:52] <ubuntu__> how would you fix it
[00:52] <ubuntu__> ?
[00:52] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: because the NVidia driver is classified as "restricted" that means that you have to add repos to enable the enhanced features of your card
[00:52] <spiniker> and now its all black and i cant even log in
[00:53] <tessa> ..
[00:53] <ubuntu__> no idea what you just ssaid
[00:53] <ubuntu__> my im AM SO HAPPY
[00:53] <caexo> if you don't see me in a couple hours, the clean install for hardy exploded...  :)
[00:53] <tessa> ok..I am having problems wityh ubuntu 8.04
[00:53] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:53] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: install Ubuntu, and then go to the main menu and fish around until you find Restricted Hardware
[00:53] <ubuntu__> ill install to hard drive now
[00:53] <ubuntu__> i know where to find it
[00:53] <ubuntu__> one more question
[00:53] <tessa> I cannot seem to get a gui running under the server version
[00:53] <dmsuperman> Khisanth, for one of my buttons it returns button 2, which is my right click button
[00:53] <ubuntu__> how do you uninstall ubuntu
[00:53] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: it will show you a video card and have a check mark, it will be unchecked, check it, it will ask you some questions, say yes
[00:53] <tessa> I( cant seem to install tomcat under the desktop version
[00:53] <yowshi> amenado: yeah and the actual answer was 3 words
[00:53] <dmsuperman> Khisanth, and 2 of them don't even register an event
[00:53] <Ice_Wewe> ubuntu__: format your HD and start over
[00:53] <Scunizi> tessa: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[00:53] <ubuntu__> i have vista on
[00:54] <ubuntu__> i dont want to formatt
[00:54] <Starnestommy> ubuntu__: format the partition that ubuntu is on
[00:54] <cafuego> Scunizi: I don't know enough about the wacom driver to be able to give you a sensible answer on that <heh>
[00:54] <genii> Ice_Wewe: That assumes he already knows how to add restriced to his list of repositories
[00:54] <ubuntu__> ok
[00:54] <Starnestommy> or delete it
[00:54] <genii> Ice_Wewe: And has done so
[00:54] <tessa> Scunizi: ...is doesnt seem to want to do that , after I installed gdm
[00:54] <Ice_Wewe> genii: yeah, I'm not that great at handling n00bs...
[00:54] <ubuntu__> the partistion program in ubutu can it format
[00:54] <danand> GoSox - when you first boot your computer you can press del or F1 or some other key to access the bios. the bios is stored on a chip on your computers motherboard and basically controls how the machine starts up and where to look to load your operating system. Some bioses have a security feature that prevents any writing of data to a special sector on your hard drive called the master boot record (MBR). the master boot record holds the instructions for wher
[00:54] <Ice_Wewe> genii: the GUI will do that for him
[00:54] <Scunizi> cafuego: thanks for the help though.. I'll play around with it and see what I come up with.
[00:54] <GoSox> danand: this is a macbook
[00:54] <ubuntu__> well ill go and install ubuntu
[00:54] <danand> GoSox - needs to write to that part of your disk...
[00:54] <ubuntu__> thz
[00:55] <Scunizi> tessa, did you install xfce (xubuntu) or Ubuntu (gnome) or Kubuntu (kde)?
[00:55] <tessa> Scunizi: ..are you telling me that gdm is already installed under the server version ?
[00:55] <Ice_Wewe> genii: if you check the box to use restricted drivers, it will ask you if you want to add the repos and will then proceed to download and install the appropriate packages
[00:55] <spiniker> starnestommy: i swithed to 1024x768,and now i cant even see a damn thing,it already happend twice,and sad to say that these is the third
[00:55] <danand> GoSox - no bios ??
[00:55] <ubuntu__> i been talking to a other guy for 2 hours trying to get this working and all i had to do is install it
[00:55] <ubuntu__> lol
[00:55] <GoSox> no
[00:55] <marcel> when I type apt-get install ntfs-3g computer tells me it is the latest version. What else do I have to do to be able to view my ntfs XP partition
[00:55] <tessa> Scunizi:  ..I installed the server version, and it will have been the gneom version is there was a choice
[00:55] <spiniker> starnestommy:i ended up re installing
[00:55] <danand> GoSox - crap ... that took me ages to type :)
[00:55] <andrew-2> im having trouble installing live usb with ubuntu. the command is ;cp -aR casper disctree dists install pool preseed .disk /mnt/usb_disc. it returns with ;cp: cannot stat `disctree': No such file or directory . does anyone know what i may be doing wrong?
[00:55] <Starnestommy> spiniker: what type of card is it?
[00:55] <Scunizi> tessa: nope.. it's not.. you have to install it yourself with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop
[00:55] <GoSox> danand: all for nothing haha
[00:55] <genii> Ice_Wewe: Ah, nice. Haven't seen that since one of first edits i do is add it manually in sources.list
[00:55] <jlc> I am trying to get a handle on this linux file structure, where should I install a game, off of root; /root/MyNewGame ?
[00:55] <spiniker> nvidia agp fx5500
[00:56] <Scunizi> tessa: server comes only with a command line
[00:56] <tessa> Scunizi: ..are you telling me taht AFTER I install the server version, then I should install the desktop verion using apt-get ?
[00:56] <Simonft> lol, a lul
[00:56] <Scunizi> tessa: yes
[00:56] <earthsound> Scunizi: ok, i'm in my BIOS, what should I be looking for?
[00:56] <FastZ> jlc: never install anything in any directory other than /opt or your /home directory...
[00:56] <tessa> ah... thats nbot clear except for mythbuntu
[00:56] <tessa> duh...ok..me reinstall
[00:56] <jlc> FastZ, ty
[00:56] <spiniker> starnestommy:it was functioning,but when i change the resolution to 1024 i get some lines,and now its all black
[00:56] <Ice_Wewe> genii: I just had to do it on my PVR because I'm using Mythbuntu, I don't mess around with that cr*p unless I have to (I run gentoo on my desktop, so adding restricted stuff is really a moot point)
[00:56] <Starnestommy> jlc: somewhere in your /home/<username> directory, or install the executables in /usr/local/bin, shared files in /usr/local/share, libraries in /usr/local/lib, and config files in /usr/local/etc/
[00:56] <danand> GoSox - I know that Mac has its own boot loader ... do you still have OSX installed?
[00:56] <tessa> Scunizi:  ..is there likley to be any problem with twin dual core opterons ?
[00:57] <Scunizi> earthsound: remind me .. grub issue or cd rom.. been talking to a lot ob people.
[00:57] <eboyjr> Did anyone answer my question? How do I get rid of a screensaver?
[00:57] <earthsound> the BIOS detects the original master IDE HD as primary master & detects the added HD as primary slave
[00:57] <Scunizi> tessa: with 32bit server.. probably not
[00:57] <earthsound> and the 2 optical drives as secondary master/slave
[00:57] <earthsound> grub issue
[00:57] <Simonft> eboyjr: you mean deleate it?
[00:57] <GoSox> danand: yes i have a main os x partition, then a small os x one and trying to make a small linux one. it gets 94% of the way through installing, then gets that error
[00:57] <evilbug> i fixed my desktop display,but my boot screen and login window display is bad.
[00:57] <tessa> Scunizi:  ..are you telling me that the 64 bit server is liley to have a problem ?
[00:57] <crazyeight> Can ubuntu play mp3's out of the box, or do I need to install additional software?
[00:57] <earthsound> SATA & SCSI boot order is SATA,SCSI
[00:57] <Starnestommy> spiniker: I'm not sure how to fix it for agp nvidia cards
[00:57] <eboyjr> Simonft, Well, just move the file to somewhere else just in case.
[00:58] <earthsound> and i grub should be installed on hd0,0, which is the IDE primary master HD
[00:58] <genii> tessa: No issues so far with 8.04 server on a quad Opteron system here
[00:58] <spiniker> starnestommy:is there a room where i can get help? i cant even log-in on ubuntu
[00:58] <tessa> genii... tyhank you
[00:58] <spiniker> thanks
[00:58] <genii> tessa: np
[00:58] <Scunizi> tessa: no.. It's just that if you have no 64 bit experience don't use it.. most programs are compiled for the 32bit environment and not all will work in 64 bit without some tweeking.
[00:58] <Starnestommy> spiniker: this channel, or the forums
[00:58] <tessa> ok... Scunizi .... i was Using 64 bit Centos
[00:58] <earthsound> when I add the 2nd HD to the primary slave slot on the IDE cable, i get this:
[00:58] <FastZ> crazyeight, to answer the first ?, no, it cant and to answer the second, yes.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[00:58] <tessa> but Centos doesnt have ipx
[00:58] <danand> GoSox - think that mac's bootloader can enable dualbooting of osx/linux... that way you can skip the install of grub...
[00:58] <Scunizi> earthsound: and when you remove the master does it boot? or when you remove the primary slave HD it boots?
[00:58] <spiniker> anywhere...
[00:58] <earthsound> veryifying DMI Pool Data...
[00:59] <earthsound> Boot from CD: (twice)
[00:59] <earthsound> GRUB Loading stage 2.5.
[00:59] <Scunizi> tessa: if you're use to that then go for it..
[00:59] <earthsound> GRUB loading, please wait...    then Error 22
[00:59] <tessa> okk..time to reinstall then
[00:59] <spiniker> well anyway thanks..guess im gonna end up re installing again..
[00:59] <Ice_Wewe> genii: I use ubuntu on machines where I can't be bothered to go insane installing Gentoo, it's a very nice distro
[00:59] <earthsound> haven't tried removing the master HD
[00:59] <earthsound> guess i should :|
[01:00] <danand> allquixotic - glad lo is up and running :)
[01:00]  * Scrounch is now away: off
[01:00] <earthsound> brb
[01:00] <Starnestommy> spiniker: actually, try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" first in recovery mode
[01:00] <Scunizi> earthsound: you just need to reinstall grub.. are you registered here on freenode?
[01:00] <tessa> ok..let me get this right... first, install server version ..then install mythbuintu, then install unbuntu-desktop ?
[01:00] <shady> marcel ntfs3g
[01:00] <earthsound> yes
[01:00] <Scunizi> tessa: no.. you never mentioned mythbuintu
[01:00] <shady> no clicking yet
[01:01] <tessa> Scunizi..well..I need the server aps....
[01:01] <Scunizi> tessa: if you want server install server then ubuntu-desktop
[01:01] <shady> not even by using the synaptics touchpad
[01:01] <shady> on inverted mode
[01:01] <genii> Ice_Wewe: Yes, Gentoo is a pita to setup initially
[01:01] <spiniker> ok..ill try
[01:01] <Scunizi> earthsound try to pm me
[01:01] <earthsound> Scunizi: removing the master HD results in "A disk read error occurred" Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
[01:01] <SilverStreak> Hey guys, I'm currently reinstalling ubuntu and I'm planning on separating my / /home and /swap partitions; should I make a small /boot partition as well
[01:02] <ubuntu__> need help
[01:02] <earthsound> b/c that's where grub is installed
[01:02] <tessa> SilverStreak: I ALWAYS have a small boot sector
[01:02] <ubuntu__> im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot
[01:02] <earthsound> i just don't know why grub is having a problem just b/c another HD is plugged in
[01:02] <PKsteR> how can I install a VIA PCI sata card on ubuntu?
[01:02] <SilverStreak> Should it be within the extended partition tessa?
[01:02] <FastZ> tessa: why do you need the server apps in order to use Mythbuntu?  Just burn Mythbuntu to a CD and install it as your operating system.  You don't need to install the server or desktop version of Ubuntu first
[01:02] <danbhfive> SilverStreak: Im guessing, but I don't think that will help
[01:02] <eboyjr> Where are the screen saver files?
[01:02] <Scunizi> earthsound: plug it back in and put the live cd in the machine and let it boot..
[01:02] <danand> SilverStreak - i always do ... 100 - 150 Mb is _Plenty_ for /boot
[01:02] <tessa> ubuntu ... install WIndows first, and then inst5allubuntu./.it will take care of it all for you
[01:02] <kazol> Why is there no warning on Ubuntu's site about upgrading to Heron? Upgrades in Ubuntu never work for me (I've tried on several different systems).
[01:02] <earthsound> well, i only have the alternative CD, will that suffice?
[01:03] <ubuntu__> im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot
[01:03] <SeaPhor> ubuntu__, i have a good article on that if you want to look at it, its walk-thru
[01:03] <shady> ubuntu_ just install GRUB
[01:03] <ubuntu__> ok
[01:03] <ubuntu__> where
[01:03] <kazol> ubuntu__: If you already have Windows installed, GRUB should automatically be configured.
[01:03] <ubuntu__> grub?
[01:03] <PKsteR> can any body please help on installing a PCUsata card
[01:03] <shady> absolutely correct kazol
[01:03] <DIL> ubuntu__, if you have xp on already it will set up dual boot for you
[01:04] <SeaPhor> ubuntu__, join me in #SeaPhor
[01:04] <tessa> Fast...well...actually ...I NEED the server apps like tomcat and netbeans/.. and I'd like to have TV
[01:04] <kazol> ubuntu__: When you install Ubuntu, just resize the existing NTFS windoze partition, the rest should be done automatically.
[01:04] <ubuntu__> ok
[01:04] <ubuntu__> im jsut makeing sure its going to do that
[01:04] <shady> in case the installation fails, GRUB will not be installed either
[01:04] <ubuntu__> i thought it would
[01:04] <DIL> ubuntu__, ubuntu install will that is
[01:04] <lei> hi, just a test
[01:04] <SilverStreak> what format should /boot be in?
[01:04] <danand> ubuntu__ - grub is the bootloader ... it allows you to choose the OS you want to boot when you turn on the machine
[01:05] <danand> SilverStreak - ext3
[01:05] <SilverStreak> alrighty
[01:05] <laeg> i installed openvpn, ran a perl script and now i can't surf the web and when i try to use irssi i get 'name or service not found' (i'm on the live cd) - i am able to use bittorrent though. how can i fix this please?
[01:05] <FastZ> tessa, well, then the way I see it you have 2 options.  Install the server version of Ubuntu, then install Myth (not Mythbuntu) and then install whatever  else you need for TV.   I am about to erase my Ubuntu installation after several issues.
[01:06] <ogre> i have a question. I am trying to upload some pics on my hd to myspace and in ubuntus picture viewer thingy it shows them straight but when its uploaded they are sideways. how can i fix this?
[01:06] <tessa> kazol.... Centos
[01:07] <johninLex> I did forget all about the device manager, I dont know why but I did, Scunizi
[01:07] <FastZ> tessa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV  might find this web page useful
[01:07] <SilverStreak> ogre: in The GIMP you should be able to rotate the image
[01:07] <Fa> kazol you won't find anything better than ubuntu
[01:07] <tessa> Fast... ty
[01:07] <laeg> genii: when i try to look at my network settings and ip etc it's grayed out
[01:07] <Fa> kazol you can try pclinuxos though
[01:07] <kazol> Fa: Yeah, right.
[01:07] <Scunizi> johninLex: selective ignorance
[01:07] <shady> xrandr help, please
[01:07] <andrew-2> who knows alot about writing ubuntu iso to a usb stick so as to build a live, bootable system ?
[01:07] <FastZ> kazol: Fedora, OpenSUSE, LinuxMint... just to name a few
[01:08] <kazol> Fa: Are you kidding me?
[01:08] <tessa> The problem with Centos and the other RHEL5 distros is that their is no capability for connecting to novell networks.,.which is why I am changing...otherwise I would not
[01:08] <Fa> no why?
[01:08] <kazol> Fa: I was thinking more of something like Gentoo, etc.
[01:08] <ogre> kazol:  well if you want a reliable easy to use os ubuntu is my recommendation. other distros lack the "out of the box" functionality
[01:08] <SilverStreak> andrew-2: I've heard that it's pretty much the same process as installing Ubuntu on an HDD, just install it on the thumbdrive instead.
[01:08] <johninLex> Scunizi, that the only half of it, just glad it is working maybe I might be able to get ubuntu back yeaaaaa
[01:08] <Starnestommy> kazol: you're asking that question in an ubuntu support channel, so people are obviously going to recommend ubuntu in here
[01:08] <aoirthoir> how can I tell what version of ubuntu i am running?
[01:09] <Starnestommy> aoirthoir: lsb_release -a
[01:09] <Fa> kazol go to #linux and ask around
[01:09] <jedimasterk> When are we going to get photo editing applications in Ubuntu. Cinepaint was removed from Hardy, so how do I get 16bit support
[01:09] <aLeSD> hi all
[01:09] <aLeSD> why compiz make my pc slower ?
[01:09] <kazol> Fa: I did, just trying to get another perspective.
[01:09] <aoirthoir> Starnestommy: danke
[01:09] <FastZ> Fa: kazol: There are a lot of better distros besides Ubuntu.  Ubuntu is easy to learn and use, but there are several better distros.  Actually, it's all personal preference anyway
[01:09] <genii> laeg: You were trying to connect to some remote vpn server?
[01:09] <fde> aLeSD: because your PC is doing more.
[01:09] <andrew-2> SilverStreak: would this create a boot like disk or more of a like installer like disk?
[01:09] <aLeSD> I mean gnome-terminal is faster but f-spot no ?
[01:09] <eboyjr> How do I fricken' delete a screen saver?!!!!
[01:09] <eboyjr> This is so frustrating!
[01:10] <jasperarcher> Hello all, I just did a fresh install.  good news is that the system monitor and disk usage analyzer are actually recognizing /dev/sda1 (set as ext3) my internal hard drive... bad news is i still have to boot from USB or else it hangs.  also, in file browser, my "file system" only has 60MB free, and my internal HD is listed as "78.5 GB Media"
[01:10] <aLeSD> and the preview of the pics too
[01:10]  * andrew-2 likes the word like
[01:10] <SilverStreak> It'd create a bootable drive; you want something that you can install Ubuntu onto other PCs with?
[01:10] <aLeSD> and scrolling a tesxt is slow too
[01:10] <jasperarcher> *oops wanted to add, any help is much appreciated.
[01:10] <Rampage> Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local conenctions doesn't seem to work properly. Any ideas?
[01:10] <andrew-2> SilverStreak: yeah thats right
[01:10] <aLeSD> fde: but I was thinking that the Gpu was working
[01:11] <stemount^> I have a 7.10 pen drive
[01:11] <SilverStreak> Hmm, I am not quite sure about doing that andrew-2
[01:11] <stemount^> I can't get 8.04 to go on the pen drive though :(
[01:11] <fde> eboyjr: look in /usr/lib/xscreensaver/ for the screensaver and delete the file... every time the package updates, the screensaver will come back though.
[01:11] <stemount^> 7.10 works flawlessly here on a USB key
[01:11] <laeg> genii: yes
[01:11] <fde> aLeSD: It is...
[01:11] <SilverStreak> How big is 7.10 unpacked?
[01:11] <Starnestommy> SilverStreak: about 2 GB
[01:11] <fde> aLeSD: So is the CPU though...
[01:11] <genii> laeg: Was it able to?
[01:11] <aLeSD> fbe : I mean things are going better (faster) of this is the best
[01:11] <laeg> genii: i deleted openvpn completely with synaptic and i remove /etc/openvpn and the contents
[01:11] <stemount^> What is the average like ubuntu install size?
[01:11] <laeg> genii: i can't pastebin you the exact output when i ran the script
[01:11] <aLeSD> ?
[01:12] <stemount^> once installed with all the default apps*
[01:12] <Starnestommy> stemount^: about 2 GB
[01:12] <laeg> genii: please bear with me
[01:12] <stemount^> ah
[01:12] <eboyjr> fde, Thanks... I'll try it
[01:12] <genii> laeg: OK, bearing with you :)
[01:12] <FastZ> eboyjr, just turn your screensave off!  system>preferences>screen saver
[01:12] <laeg> genii: :(
[01:12] <andrew-2> SilverStreak: would you assume that the procedure is the same ? ..... since in ths particular instance i will try to install gentoo as the install system, however seeing that my current functioning system is ubuntu i would basicly have to follow the how to from ubuntu and replace the "installer" with gentoo
[01:12] <aLeSD> fde : I don't understand what is the difference between scroll a text with compiz or metacity
[01:13] <fde> aLeSD: Neither scroll, they are just Window Managers.
[01:13] <tessa> ok ..can I install desktop from a CDROM  under the server distro, father than downloading it from the net ?
[01:13] <Starnestommy> aLeSD: compiz and metacity are different window managers, but they also manage widgets on windows
[01:13] <SilverStreak> andrew-2: I have no idea
[01:13] <PKsteR> How do I go about installing a PCI sata card in ubuntu
[01:13] <fde> aLeSD: Compiz and Cairo both are fighting for GPU resources though... and Cairo draws most widgets.
[01:13] <Tux2K8> PKsteR : just plug it in
[01:13] <SilverStreak> PKsteR: Usually they work without drivers
[01:14] <Rampage> Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local connections doesn't seem to work properly. I want to try avoid iptables if possible. Any ideas?
[01:14] <FastZ> tessa: you can install "ubuntu-desktop" over the net.  I dunno if you can install that if you put the metapackage on a CD...
[01:14] <aLeSD> fde Starnestommy I don't understand if compiz is the right way
[01:14] <SilverStreak> In fact PKsteR, I have one in my box. :)
[01:14] <laeg> genii: http://pastebin.com/m7e587a0d
[01:14] <aLeSD> I mean kde4 use 3d effects
[01:14] <johninLex> Scunizi, I will see you back on the ubuntu side bbl
[01:14] <fde> aLeSD: I don't use Compiz because I don't need those effects... it's something neat to show friends, but that's about it.
[01:14] <laeg> genii: i just did a 'perl scriptname laeg passsword'
[01:14] <Starnestommy> aLeSD: kde4 and compiz do 3d effects differently
[01:15] <fde> Starnestommy: Not really, they both use AIGLX
[01:15] <aLeSD> Starnestommy: could u esxplain me please ?
[01:15] <Tux2K8> Starnestommy : you meant KDE and GNOME with compiz do 3d differently I belive
[01:15] <aLeSD> I 'm leaving compiz cause is not usabke ,,,,it's really .. only to show
[01:16] <SilverStreak> You just want to turn off desktop effects then?
[01:16] <function1> so if i have an mplayer and aplay playing audio at the same time, then I've probably set up the alsa pulseaudio plugin correctly, right?
[01:16] <aLeSD> but ... in my opinion gpu has to make the pc faster not slower
[01:16] <fde> Tux2K8: Compiz is a Windows Manager... it follows follows specs that allow it to run with KDE or GNOME, KDE and GNOME are not Window Managers though... Metacity and Kwin are the Window Managers for those desktops.
[01:16] <_paradox_> i upgraded to 8.04 hardy about a week ago. i havent gotten any system updates since. have just none been sent out yet?
[01:16] <SilverStreak> If so, I believe that it's just system > preferences > desktop effects
[01:16] <Starnestommy> aLeSD: compiz still has to use the CPU for some things
[01:16] <genii> laeg: Give me a few minutes for researching
[01:16] <Ntemis> if i install ark into hardy will i broke anything?
[01:16] <SilverStreak> _paradox_: try a sudo apt-get install update command
[01:16] <laeg> genii: cool ty, i can also link you the perl script?
[01:17] <tessa> ok..anotehr question... does the desktop version have a firewall inside it that is automatically set up./.if so ..how do I turn it off ?
[01:17] <Ntemis> i want to make it my default rar extractor
[01:17] <aLeSD> Starnestommy: is metacity going to 3d ?
[01:17] <Starnestommy> aLeSD: it's mostt likely going to stay 2d
[01:17] <_paradox_> sudo apt-get install update
[01:17] <SilverStreak> tessa: iptables is there by default, but I don't know if it does anything
[01:17] <Hydrogen> compiz is a pretty bad window manager.. just to clarify
[01:17] <fde> aLeSD: there was a branch of Metacity that was going to... but it's looking like Compiz will just replace it in Gnome.
[01:17] <genii> laeg: No, I don't need the perl script.
[01:17] <fde> Luminocity I think
[01:18] <laeg> genii: nps, ty ty :)
[01:18] <Starnestommy> tessa: iptables is already installed, but there are no rules in it by default and it is set to allow things unless there's a rule blocking something
[01:18] <aLeSD> fde ... I can't belive it
[01:18] <Sunx> where are tempory files/user history/thumbnails/ anything related to user history  store in....can i clear out all user history and usage
[01:18] <_paradox_> update manager is still available in the menu
[01:18] <FastZ> tessa: Linux has a firewall by default, regardless of the type (ubuntu desktop, server, Fedora, SUSE, etc) they all have iptables built in to the kernel
[01:18] <aLeSD> fde . compiz with all effect disactived ... is slower
[01:18] <fde> aLeSD: You don't have to... it is what is being discussed.
[01:19] <FastZ> Starnestommy, iptables is set to block all incoming connections by default
[01:19] <fde> aLeSD: Hence why it's not the case yet.
[01:19] <aLeSD> mmm
[01:19] <aLeSD> ok
[01:19] <aLeSD> beer
[01:19] <aheckler> i need some help with another one of these annoying "can't empty my trash" problems
[01:19] <Starnestommy> FastZ: no, it allows incoming connetions when a program binds to a port and opens it
[01:19] <tubated> hello:)
[01:19] <genii> laeg: That website says they use pptp. Try ubuntu instructions here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-ubuntu-fedora-linux-pptp-client.html
[01:20] <_paradox_> its just i usually get updates every other day and now none in a week
[01:20] <Sunx> i hate my life
[01:20] <Y-Town> aheckler: right click, empty trash doesnt work?
[01:20] <laeg> genii: so i did connect? i mean i have deleted the script and openvpn and even after a restart i can't surf or irssi
[01:20] <SoulBlade> i somehow lost sound on my box... i have upgraded to hardy and it was all working well.  i no longer get sound and i get an error about pulse audio - unable to connect to server
[01:20] <mevering> okay.
[01:20] <fde> aheckler: Just open the Trash and hit the "Empty Trash" button inside...
[01:20] <aheckler> Y-Town: nope, apparently only root has the permissions to modify some files in my trash, so I can't delete them
[01:20] <aheckler> fde: tried it
[01:21] <FastZ> Starnestommy, this may be true, but by default, all incoming connections are blocked...  only after you install programs that binds to a port and opens it will that port be opened... but this is not the case by "default"
[01:21] <newbi_ubuntu> need help
[01:21] <SoulBlade> i thought i had been using alsa - not sure if pulse audio is different
[01:21] <fde> aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/files <-- anything there not owned by your user?
[01:21] <mevering> quit
[01:21] <_paradox_> i just assumed there werent any system updates
[01:21] <mevering> exit
[01:21] <CYREX> what u need newbi
[01:21] <SilverStreak> Also, one can use Firestarter to manage iptables and log events
[01:21] <Y-Town> aheckler: did you try what fde just put up for you?
[01:21] <genii> laeg: You reached the site but they refused your authorisation (from the paste you provided)
[01:22] <newbi_ubuntu> can only run ubuntu in 640x480 since i tried to make cloned screens
[01:22] <laeg> genii: also, their guide said to install openvpn
[01:22] <aheckler> fde and Y-Town: output it "drwxr-sr-x 3 adam adam 4096 2008-05-02 18:43 kernelcheck"
[01:22] <aheckler> *is
[01:22] <laeg> genii: so it's not responsible for me not being able to surf or irssi?
[01:22] <CYREX> must be the "new" x.org 7.3 with that rand
[01:22] <tubated> I have a problem.. i cant get resolution above 1600X1200! and the fancy graphics modes dont work. I have ubuntu 8! and intel G35. and 1920X1600 screen
[01:22] <fde> aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/info <-- anything there not owned by your user? (note "info" rather than "files"
[01:22] <CYREX> did you check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[01:22] <SilverStreak> tubated: are you using the dvi or vga connection?
[01:23] <newbi_ubuntu> ye
[01:23] <tubated> silver: the dvi
[01:23] <_paradox_> anyone else has gotten updates since upgrading to 8.04?
[01:23] <CYREX> type xrandr and tell me what it says
[01:23] <newbi_ubuntu> can u mess me private the text is flashing so fast in my rez
[01:23] <SilverStreak> My GeForce 5200Fx did not support 1900x1200 over dvi due to hardware limitations, so check out your graphics chip's capability
[01:23] <fde> aheckler: you can just 'rm -f kernelcheck' within those directories if they're owned by you.
[01:23] <aheckler> fde and Y-Town: got it, thanks guys! i just couldnt remember that folder location
[01:24] <aheckler> fde: did exactly that ;)
[01:24] <Scunizi> !who | newbi_ubuntu
[01:24] <tubated> SilverStreak:  i can do 1920 in windows vista
[01:24] <richard> hi - can someone explain the difference between eth1 and wifi0? (they're both marked as wireless interfaces, even though i only have one)
[01:24] <Y-Town> aheckler: fde  :o)
[01:24] <fde> aheckler: heh... cool, actually though, they moved it recently... it used to be just ~/.Trash
[01:24] <SilverStreak> tubated: alright, it's not a hardware issue then; just checking
[01:24] <aheckler> fde: aahhh no wonder, i've been using ubuntu since dapper and i thought it was ~/.Trash
[01:24] <tubated> SilverStreak: I just installed ubuntu. should i install some drivers maybe?
[01:24] <genii> laeg: Since the last things you did was install openvp and then the script, something in there likely did it. You were connected (to the internet) when you tried the script as the paste shows. The paste also shows that you were deinied access to some files on your own system (certificate files and a conf file)
[01:25] <_paradox_> like i said i still have update manager so is there a problem?
[01:25] <misieq> hi! I have some problem with a simple c++ code relating to writing output to files. Basicly I try to write something to file, but the output is 0-sized. Permission are set ok and if the file is not there it gets created. code is right here: http://www.nopaste.pl/4ck and there are a few comments (in red) as what the program should do. can anyone help me?
[01:25] <SilverStreak> tubated: Intel provides OSS drivers, so that shouldn't be the case
[01:25] <kellie> I put in a password on my ubuntu install for my neighbor. It's a simple password but now it's not working. I tried it several times and even tried entering it in Text Editor and copying and pasting and it won't work. The password hasn't been changed. Can someone help me figure out how to recover the password?
[01:25] <Mattevt> when I mouse over the items in the taskbar, a black box appears instead of a pop-up that says what the item is.
[01:25] <CYREX> richard: did you type iwconfig
[01:25] <jepes> how reliable is md5 sum?
[01:26] <SDr> misieq, join #c++, or something similiar
[01:26] <SDr> misieq, this is not a dev channel, you'll have more luck there
[01:26] <misieq> SDr: thanks
[01:26] <laeg> genii: so do you know how i can fix it? i know you linked a guide for pptp, but the webiste's guide says to use openvpn and anyway i caused the problem with opevpn, so how can that guide help?
[01:26] <SDr> jepes, pretty reliable, except for some edge cases
[01:26] <richard> CYREX: yes,
[01:26] <Shadow420> !md5
[01:26] <_paradox_> and has anyone else gotten system updates since upgrading to 8.04?
[01:26] <Shadow420> !md5 | jepes
[01:27] <CYREX> richard: Did you get both interface there, eth0 and wifi
[01:27] <jepes> SRr:  i verified my iso, it did okay, but it fails during install...
[01:27] <danbhfive> _paradox_: I have, in fact, I just got a kernel update
[01:27] <tubated> SilverStreak:  Its kinda weird. that i can only choose up to 1600. which sucks, because that is not a widescreen format, and this screen is widescreen, so stuff looks ugly
[01:27] <SDr> jepes, what's the error message?
[01:27] <richard> CYREX: yes, I see three interfaces.  My wired one, and two wireless ones (eth1 and wifi0) - even thouh i only have one wless card
[01:27] <fde> jepes: 128bit reliable... sha can go up to 512bit... so it's not the most reliable/secure.
[01:27] <tessa> tomcat 6 isnt in the repository
[01:27] <jepes> SDr: installation faild , etc"
[01:28] <SilverStreak> tubated: completely understandable, I myself have a 24" widescreen on my end.
[01:28] <jepes> SDr: something about corrupted installer.
[01:28] <tubated> SilverStreak: same here
[01:28] <Shadow420> jepes you could have a bad burn
[01:28] <SDr> jepes, have you tried after the first install screen setting the installation media to net/FTP, instead of cd/dvd?
[01:28] <SDr> also, what Shadow420 said
[01:28] <bmk789> what should i pass to xrandr to use dual monitors?
[01:28] <kellie> is there any way to reset a password for ubuntu if the one you have set doesn't seem to be working?
[01:28] <_paradox_> danbhfive: im just wondering if theres a problem? if ur like me u probably get updates every other day.
[01:28] <Mattevt> Can anyone inform me why, when I mouse over taskbar icons, a black rectangle pops up instead of the text of what the item is.
[01:29] <jepes> Shadow420: im installing it to a virtual machine using the iso directly from my HD, image is okay (md5) but it still fails.
[01:29] <FastZ> tessa, you'll have to download the binary package and compile it yourself  http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
[01:29] <jepes> so its not an issue about bad burn.
[01:29] <Shadow420> jepes try to reburn the image at a slower rate
[01:29] <fde> Mattevt: I'd imagine that'd be a theme issue... are you using a black theme?
[01:29] <Scunizi> tessa: TOMCAT 5.5 IS
[01:29] <Scunizi> sorry didn't mean to have caps
[01:29] <tessa> done
[01:30] <danbhfive> _paradox_: I just upgraded to hardy, there were a bunch of updates.  Its just for bug fixes.  Getting updates is usually a good thing
[01:30] <Shadow420> jepes then redownload the iso possible the iso got corrupted
[01:30] <Mattevt> fde, I don't think I set up a theme, I just made the taskbar transparent. I'll play around with the themes though and see if that fixes it, thanks
[01:30] <FastZ> richard, CYREX, eth1 will be your regular wireless connection.  wifi0 is there (put there by your wireless driver) and is used when your wireless card is set to "monitor" mode

[01:30] <laeg> genii: ty
[01:31] <jepes> Shadow420: downloading now, ..thanks anyways...
[01:31] <tessa> ok..what does ubuntu-desktop install when you are intsalling it under the server ?
[01:31] <SeaPhor> jepes, you always want to burn any ISO file at slowest speed, makes a good rule-of-thumb
[01:31] <tessa> seems to be about 1 gig ?
[01:31] <CyberCod> Help !!!   I am having major troubles getting the Airforce One 54g (broadcom 4318) wifi card to work with Hardy
[01:31] <tubated> sorry to ask again. just in case someone overlooked it:) the problem is that despite a 24" screen and intel G35 chipset, i cannot get higher resolution than 1600 in ubuntu. also, the only mode that works is the simplest gui mode. i cannot find why it should not work, but it doesnt. :/ any one got any ideas?
[01:31] <Scunizi> SeaPhor: except that it's just a file on his HD
[01:31] <richard> FastZ: so when i use e.g. network-manager to set up wireless, should i be setting up eth1 or wifi0?
[01:31] <FastZ> tessa: please type a users IRC handle in your messages so the person you are talking to knows you are talking to them
[01:31] <_paradox_> danbhfive: well i got all those updates to right then when i was upgrading. i mean i havent gotten anymore since. have there just not been more?
[01:31] <AussieHatter> what happens to a box that has gutsy in the sources.list when you aptitude upgrade ?
[01:31] <FastZ> richard, eth1
[01:31] <genii> laeg: Darn. The person that I definitely know knows about it ( Seveas ) is not here right now
[01:31] <SilverStreak> CyberCod: broadcom chipsets are loads of trouble; in some cases it's better to get a Prism or an Atheros chipset
[01:31] <jepes> SeaPhor: see above, im installing it to a vitual machine using the downloaded image directly (image vierifeid okay in md5)
[01:32] <jepes> :P
[01:32] <CyberCod> not an option here
[01:32] <CyberCod> not my machine
[01:32] <SilverStreak> have you tried ndiswrapper?
[01:32] <Shadow420> tubated try locating your monitor in screens and resolutiond
[01:32] <newbi_ubuntu> anybody know a chanel where i can get help in ubuntu?
[01:32] <Scunizi> !ask | newbi_ubuntu
[01:32] <PKsteR> can any body help iunstallina a via saa PCI card please
[01:32] <CyberCod> SilverStreak: yeah, it shows up a wlan0 entry in iwconfig but I can't get it to connect for anything
[01:32] <fde> CyberCod: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-modules-generic b43-fwcutter ... then edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and put 'bcm43' in there.
[01:32] <jasperarcher> hello all, just reinstalled 8.04, good news is now it at least recognizes my internal hard drive...  as ext3, when i go to System Monitor / File Systems, I have a gvfs-fuse-daemon directory: /home/ubuntu/.gvfs 251 MB, 98 MB free (type:gvfs-fuse-daemon), and a /dev/sda1 directory /media/disk 72 GB, 70 GB free (type: ext3)... I still cannot boot only from my internal HD, USB stick is required.  I asked the same question
[01:32] <jasperarcher>  a minute ago, but then got booted, sorry to anyone who replied then
[01:32] <Scunizi> newbi_ubuntu: this is the ubuntu help channel.
[01:32] <laeg> genii: oh noes :(
[01:32] <SilverStreak> newbi_ubuntu: ask your questiion here, we don't bite
[01:32] <Shadow420> jrprs you can download a already made virtual machine of ubuntu
[01:32] <FastZ> tessa: ubuntu-desktop installs everything you will find on a Ubuntu Desktop edition installation.
[01:32] <SeaPhor> Scunizi, ahh my bad, missed that part :-)) was paying bills
[01:33] <tubated> Shadow420:  how do i locate my monitor?
[01:33] <Tuxpower> HELLO
[01:33] <Bodsda> hi
[01:33] <Scunizi> SeaPhor: like my wife says.. "leave multitasking to me and your computer"
[01:33] <CyberCod> fde can you find me a link to that package (and its dependencies) I can't connect the machine in question except to boot to vista and download stuff
[01:33] <SeaPhor> Scunizi, but its still always a good idea
[01:33] <richard> FastZ: k thx
[01:33] <Scunizi> SeaPhor: absolutely!
[01:33] <tessa> Fast..pity I cant install part of it
[01:33] <Shadow420> tubated what is you monitor brand and model?
[01:33] <SeaPhor> Scunizi, lol true-dat
[01:33] <fde> CyberCod: You can't plug in a wired NIC for the time being?
[01:34] <DefineKThyne> is anyone else besides me in this channel Canadian? I have a quick couple question.
[01:34] <tubated> Shadow420:  its benq 24" HDMI
[01:34] <laeg> genii: i will try posting on the forums, ty for your help
[01:34] <jepes> Shadow420: i still plan on installing to HD after trying it out on VM, i dont want to wipe my current installed buntu (yet).
[01:34] <CyberCod> can't without turning their livingroom upside down
[01:34] <function1> ls
[01:34] <fde> CyberCod: packages.ubuntu.com will tell you about deps
[01:34] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: and you'll only talk to a Canadian?
[01:34] <function1> er
[01:34] <oc180z> Hello
[01:34]  * oc180z is looking for ibook gt Ubuntu users
[01:34] <CyberCod> I'm trying to turn on a new person to Ubuntu but this is giving major problems
[01:34] <tubated> Shadow420: works in 1920 rez in windows vista, so it should be possible
[01:34] <Mattevt> fde: it appears that the problem occurred when I "customized" the theme (ie: switched colors)
[01:34] <tessa> it would be nice if one could install server, and then the framework of the desktop ..and then choose which apps you wanted
[01:34] <newbi_ubuntu> i can only run 640x480 since i tried to make a clone screen and if anybody has a tip on how to fix it, pleese mess me because with my small screen the text is flashing so fast
[01:34] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: no, ca.archives.ubuntu.com isn't working for me and I
[01:34] <Adys> anyone got pulseaudio problems with last kernel upgrade to -17?
[01:34] <AlabamaHit> Need help with a .img file
[01:34] <Mattevt> fde: thanks for the suggestion :)
[01:34] <tubated> Shadow420: also, its weird that i can only choose simple graphics mode
[01:34] <fde> Mattevt: you're welcome  :)
[01:34] <AlabamaHit> I need to extract the .img file.
[01:34] <Ntemis> if i install ark archiver would it break ubuntu?
[01:34] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: *I'm just curious if it's only me, eh?
[01:34] <FastZ> tessa, sudo apt-get install x-window-system-core xserver-xorg gnome-desktop-environment
[01:35] <fde> Ntemis: no
[01:35] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: it was just funny how you phrased your question? :)
[01:35]  * oc180z is looking for ibook gt Ubuntu users
[01:35] <Shadow420> jepes you could partiton your ubuntu disk in half to have room for hardy
[01:35] <Ntemis> fde thanks
[01:35] <SilverStreak> Adys: what kind of pA problems?
[01:35] <danbhfive> CyberCod: ndiswrapper is on the install cd, is that what you are talking about?
[01:35] <FastZ> tessa: that command will install a GUI (GNOME) but without all the extra stuff that ubuntu-desktop comes with
[01:35] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: lol yeah it kinda was.
[01:35] <Shadow420> tubated hmm brb I have to think on it
[01:35] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: ask away.. if someone knows the answer they'll get back with you.
[01:35] <tessa> Fast..thank you... I am now 25% through a desktop install
[01:35] <CyberCod> I tried that, and I got it to tell me that the drivers were installed and hadware was present... but it still won't connect
[01:35] <Adys> SilverStreak, pulse doesnt work at all (no sound), ALSA still works in the sound output but most apps are set to pulse
[01:35] <Ward1983> can someone PLEASE recommend a good backup tool that allows me to make a backup of another computer of the network, it needs to be an image i can place back in case i need to
[01:35] <tubated> Shadow420: OK
[01:35] <DefineKThyne> is there a way to change what software archive Synaptic uses?
[01:35] <CyberCod> I even tried removing Network Manager and installing WiCD
[01:36] <CyberCod> WiCD doesn't even see it
[01:36] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: that's an easy one.. yes
[01:36] <fde> CyberCod: ifup eth0 ?
[01:36] <Ward1983> i cant see the forest because of the trees anymore
[01:36] <FastZ> tessa, sorry for getting that to you late then. :P
[01:36] <SilverStreak> Adys: have you tried disabling oss? I've found that that has solved a lot of my problems in the past
[01:36] <t3hwiz0rd> is anyone here familiar with qdvdauthor?
[01:36] <fde> CyberCod: ndiswrapper will define it as eth0 ...
[01:36] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: oh?
[01:36] <CyberCod> even though the modules are loaded in
[01:36] <CyberCod> it has an eth0,
[01:36] <Adys> SilverStreak, disabling it where? Everything is set to pulse afaik
[01:36] <fde> CyberCod: ok... type what I said... actually 'sudo ifup eth0'
[01:36] <L_Mo> I'm looking at a new laptop. My old one has an nvidia geforece go 7800 and it worked great. New one only has an intel x3100... Will this work as well?
[01:36] <SilverStreak> killall oss
[01:36] <Adys> Its just since the kernel upgrade a few mins ago
[01:36] <CyberCod> just a sec
[01:36] <FastZ> tessa, and if you add a Z to the Fast in your messages, I can see your posts a lot easier.  or use the TAB key to finish my IRC handle if you dont want to type it out
[01:36] <dmsuperman> Alright, I've made some progress. I'm trying to use xev to detect my keypresses, to determine the button number for xbindkeys. Whenever I use it, however it improperly detects my keypresses. 2 buttons don't do anything, and one of my buttons just does the same thing as middle click
[01:36] <SeaPhor> CyberCod, have you checked its known compatability here?  http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[01:37] <tessa> Fast... the RHEL distros allow you to turn off the firewall at the point you install the distro..how do I do this with Ubuntu --- becuase I am already behind a hardware firewall
[01:37] <Ntemis> is hardy going to have kernel updates in its life span?
[01:37] <SilverStreak> L_Mo: intel chipsets work great AFAIK
[01:37] <Adys> SilverStreak, no process killed
[01:37] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: can you tell me how you'd go about doing this?
[01:37] <fde> SeaPhor: Lets get it online first  ;)
[01:37] <SilverStreak> alright, then oss is not the source of audio problems
[01:37] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: after opening synaptic go to "settings/repositories" ten in the middle of the box you'll see Download from: pick there or have it search for the best mirror for your location
[01:37] <Ntemis> or we are stack with 2.6.24
[01:37] <CyberCod> ignoring unknown interface eth0
[01:37] <CyberCod> ?
[01:37] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: typing and refrencing as fast as I can
[01:37] <fde> CyberCod: cat /etc/network/interfaces ... you sure eth0 is defined?
[01:37] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi:  kudos to you :)
[01:38] <CyberCod> ifup wlan0 gives "interface wlan0 already configured"
[01:38] <jepes> Shadow420: i could, but i still will need to wipe my buntu partition to do so, its on a seperate 6 Gig disk, i dont want to repart my 80G and 40 G drives...
[01:38] <FastZ> tessa: not sure.
[01:38] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: any other hard ones like that?  :)
[01:38] <SilverStreak> I personally have not tried pulseaudio yet (reinstalling as we speak due to corrupted superblock madness), so that's as much as I can help you with
[01:38] <tubated> could my resolution problem be because i told ubuntu to use safe graphic settings in the installer?
[01:38] <tessa> FastZ: ...the firewall is making my system too slow
[01:38] <_paradox_> <IP_ADDRESS>-generic thats my kernel so im not sure if ive gotten the kernel update or not. have gotten any other updates tho
[01:38] <Bodsda> tubated: yes that will do it
[01:38] <FastZ> tessa, no need to "turn off" iptables on the machine anyway.  that's just an extra layer of protection
[01:38] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: nothing really for now, I'll let you know if something does come up ;)
[01:38] <Adys> SilverStreak, aight, thanks anyhow
[01:38] <fde> CyberCod: ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0 && ping google.com ?
[01:38] <FastZ> tessa, i doubt that is the case
[01:38] <CyberCod> hang on a sec
[01:38] <Scunizi> DefineKThyne: :-)
[01:38] <FastZ> CyberCod, wlan0 is not supposed to be used as your wireless connection
[01:38] <tessa> FastZ: ..I KNOW that ubuntu 8 is MUCH slower in dealing with the internet than Centos
[01:39] <fde> CyberCod: just copy and paste all that
[01:39] <kellie> On another note, I go to slingo.com and go to play a game in firefox it asks me to install a plugin but when I go to install it it says there's no suitable plugin. Can someone help me fix this?
[01:39] <jepes> Shadow420: anyways... im trying to download it again from scratch to check.
[01:39] <fde> FastZ: Lets see if it is... it's probably the bcm43 module's definition though.
[01:39] <CyberCod> eth0 isn't defined in interfaces
[01:39] <FastZ> CyberCod, if you have eth0 (wired) or eth1 (the one you should use for wireless) or ath1 (for atheros cards)...
[01:39] <Bodsda> kellie: enable all your repositories in synaptic
[01:39] <SilverStreak> kellie: it is likely shockwave it needs, which currently has no Linux implementation
[01:39] <tubated> Bodsda: but the problem is that i cant change resolution higher than 1600 NOW... it works, but i cant get the 1920 resolution that i know my hardware can support. (does in vista)
[01:39] <L_Mo> anyone else know of any issues with the intel x3100 graphics? Works fine in Ubuntu? (I'm doing some googling too, I just want to double-check before I buy)
[01:39] <CyberCod> can't different machine
[01:40] <genii> kellie: It looks like shockwave, which won't work on linux (even with the Adobe Flash plugin installed)
[01:40] <Scunizi> L_Mo: buy? the laptop? the card? or Ubuntu?
[01:40] <kellie> ...
[01:40] <L_Mo> Scunizi: The laptop :)
[01:40] <Bodsda> !lnw | tubated   but try      sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:40] <kellie> is there something I can do about that with WINE or something?
[01:40] <Shadow420> jepes how many OS's do you have?
[01:40] <Scunizi> L_Mo: do they have an upgrade option to nvidia. you'd be much better off
[01:40] <fde> FastZ: Out of curiosity, why shouldn't he use wlan0 ? It's irrelevant, can be 'internet' so long as it has a name... it's not a /dev/ device.
[01:40] <Bodsda> !repository | kellie
[01:40] <FastZ> tessa, I wouldnt think that would have anything to do with iptables on Ubuntu though.  CentOS is a more "enterprise server" type distro so it's going to work a little faster probably anyway
[01:41] <_paradox_> im trying to figure out whether theres a problem or not
[01:41] <L_Mo> Scunizi: Yes, of course.. but they don't :(
[01:41] <CyberCod> "network is down" and    ping: unknonw host google.com
[01:41] <L_Mo> Scunizi: So can one make do w/ intel... or is nvidia really required (and I should look for another laptop altogether)
[01:41] <genii> kellie: Sign the petition if you're upset about it, http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/shockwave-on-linux.html
[01:41] <fde> FastZ: Ubuntu with linux-image-server installed and booted to is just as enterprise class...
[01:41] <jepes> Shadow420: only 2 (xp and buntu), i used to have vista but i deleted it after it bloated to 20G just from updated...
[01:41] <Scunizi> L_Mo: I'm googling on www.google.com/linux right now.. care to join me?
[01:41] <jepes> updates*
[01:42] <genii> kellie: Since shockwave uses DirectX which does not exist on linux, using WINE will not do much about solving it
[01:42] <L_Mo> Scunizi: Yeah yeah, I'm just trying to get personal experiences in person (more or less :)
[01:42] <FastZ> fde: i forget the term used to define what "wlan0" is, but basically if you have a wireless chipset that supports putting your wireless card into "promiscuous" mode, where you can sniff traffic and things, then the wlan0 interface is used.  but basically, it's only used for wi-fi monitoring whereas your usual eth1 or ath1 are used for actual connections
[01:42] <fde> Whoa, 20 gigs for that OS? They barely provide anything in the default install of use  :S
[01:42] <randal> I NEED HELP
[01:42] <consfearacy> ubuntu liveCD is amazing
[01:42] <CyberCod> wlan0 makes sense to me... wirless lan 0
[01:42] <randal> any onw there that can help me
[01:42] <Bodsda> Scunizi: although linux google is good regular google is better, just append 'ubuntu' to the end of any search to get good hits
[01:42] <Bodsda> !shout | randal
[01:42] <randal> soory
[01:42] <Shadow420> jepes ok then you should give xp the 80GB and part the 40GB into 2 20GB partitions
[01:42] <randal> ok
[01:42] <Bodsda> ty
[01:43] <randal> i was geting help with my vid card
[01:43] <Bodsda> randal: what is your problem?
[01:43] <genii> randal: It would help to know what your support problem is first
[01:43] <randal> and then i was to install ubuntu to make it work
[01:43] <randal> i did that
[01:43] <randal> but now add/ remove programs dont work
[01:43] <jasperarcher> hello, I cannot boot from my internal hard disk (ATA about 80 gig), only from a USB stick.  i just did a fresh install.  sorry for the newbie type question, but I've poked around on the forum some and other docs and can't seem to figure it out.  any help is much appreciated.
[01:43] <sebsebseb> kellie:  Shockwave can run with the commercial version of Wine  Codeweavers Crossover Linux and Firefox can use the plugin
[01:43] <_paradox_> i just ran update manager. says my system is up to date. package information was last updated 13 hours ago
[01:43] <randal> so add/remove does not work it only works when im on live cd
[01:44] <randal> and thats what im on now
[01:44] <Scunizi> L_Mo: I'm not finding anything specific.. and I gotta run.. I hope someone can give you some input.
[01:44] <randal> it says my computer isnt capatable
[01:44] <Bodsda> randal: please provide a complete overview of the problem, error messages and things youve tried , all on 1 line
[01:44] <ibleed> jasperarcher, you might want to give more information about what happens when you turn try to boot from hard drive, or what you did before it wouldn't boot
[01:44] <tessa> FastZ:  ok.. once I have installed desktop... and am about to reboot ... does the system automatically set up gdm ...or do I have to do that manually ?
[01:44] <randal> i363 somewhat
[01:44] <kellie> any idea how much the commercial version of wine costs?
[01:44] <jepes> Shadow420: even so, i would still need a good iso image...
[01:44] <randal> it says when i try to download apps it says my computer is not copatable i356
[01:45] <_paradox_> i really dont know whether theres a problem or not. if i was supposed to get a kernel update i dont think i did
[01:45] <Shadow420> jepes true
[01:45] <javisanchez> Hi guys im a linux newbie, i installed ubuntu 8  and i have multiple video cards, Nvidia 8800 but i cant get to install the driver or how do i enable the other monitors? thank you
[01:45] <Bodsda> randal: copy and paste the error message
[01:45]  * fde wonders what functions are missing from i386 to make a i363
[01:45] <genii> tessa: ubuntu-desktop package includes gdm as one of the subsidiary packages
[01:45] <SilverStreak> kellie: there is no "commercial" version of WINE; there's only CrossoverOffice, which is an implementation of WINE
[01:45] <randal> um
[01:45] <consfearacy> ubuntu is an ancient african word for "i dont know how to configure debian"
[01:45] <randal> im on live cd
[01:45] <CyberCod> file /etc/network/interfaces shows wlan0 as       iface wlan0 inet dhcp            and next line       auto wlan0
[01:45] <a3g1s> Can anyone help me with getting RealPlayer to work on Ubuntu 8.04?
[01:45] <FastZ> tessa, gdm is part of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage i think so you shouldnt have to do anything
[01:45] <kellie> ok, but how much is that?
[01:45] <genii> SilverStreak: Well, theres Cedega
[01:45] <oc180z> Hi
[01:45] <DefineKThyne> Scunizi: k thanks, that worked awesome.
[01:45] <randal> aff
[01:45] <fde> CyberCod: Did you copy and paste the line I told you?
[01:45] <SilverStreak> genii: that too. :P

[01:46] <CyberCod> I believe I did.... the one with the &&'s
[01:46] <jasperarcher> ibleed: thanks for your response.  when i set my bios to boot from HD, the screen goes to a black screen that says "GRUB _" in white text and then hangs, will not respond to anything.  if i boot w the USB (usb install package from pendrivelinux.com), it pops up a menu.  i choose "boot from first HD" and it boots up.
[01:46] <randal> i dont know what to so

[01:46] <shadok> hi
[01:46] <ibleed> jasperarcher, i'm not sure myself i've never really had issues with grub hopefully someone else can help out.  lots of people here know grub well.  for me, it just works.
[01:46] <fde> CyberCod: Or was there an error?
[01:46] <CyberCod> yep
[01:47] <javisanchez> Hi guys im a linux newbie, i installed ubuntu 8.04  and i have multiple video cards, Nvidia 8800 but i cant get to install the driver or how do i enable the other monitors? thank you
[01:47] <tessa> consfearacy:  .. actually... being a busy person... I appreciate that the ubuntu people have piut the effort into configuring debian so I dont have to ... but I could
[01:47] <CyberCod> it said network was down
[01:47] <arehm> OK, i'm running ubuntu from an external usb drive now on my laptop, i'd like to pull the internal drive, pop the drive out of the usb box and put it inside my laptop. Physically i know it will work. My question is can ubuntu be "fixed" so i don't have to reinstall?
[01:47] <shadok> i'm looking for a way to replay an oem install of ubuntu gutsy or hardy like fedora does through kickstart ? is that possible and if so, is there a how to somewhere ?
[01:47] <CyberCod> and then it said that host was unknown
[01:47] <shadok> the goal is to get a hands off install cd
[01:47] <consfearacy> tessa, hey you the same tessa from undernet #scripture :P
[01:47] <Bodsda> arehm: when are you planning on 'breaking' ubuntu?
[01:47] <jasperarcher> ibleed: thank you.  if anyone else could help me with "GRUB" issues, or how to start from an internal HD, that would be great.
[01:47] <fde> CyberCod: have you restarted since you did 'ndiswrapper -i /path/to/.inf/file'?
[01:47] <tessa> consfearacy: ..yes
[01:47] <Ntemis> anyone knows if we will have any kernel updates for hardy?
[01:47] <consfearacy> tessa, cool, i am dios_mio
[01:48] <tessa> ok
[01:48] <arehm> Bodsda: ubuntu won't care about me moving what it's "mapped" as?
[01:48] <CyberCod> yep several times...
[01:48] <consfearacy> tessa, are you spreading your lesbianism here?
[01:48] <bazhang> shadok: you want to remaster an iso, clone and existing install or something other
[01:48] <CyberCod> back in a minute....
[01:48] <_paradox_> i dont even know if ive gotten a kernel update
[01:48] <fde> Anyone with ndiswrapper, what is the command to list activated drivers?
[01:48] <Bodsda> arehm: what???? can u give more info about your problem please
[01:48] <shadok> bazhang: remastering the iso is fine but how to get a "replay file" and put it on the cd ?
[01:48] <fde> I think it's --list
[01:48] <bazhang> jasperarcher: what grub issues you having
[01:49] <FastZ> fde: i was trying to search for some documentation or webpage or something that described what wlan0 is, and i remember now that wlan0 is a "virtual interface".  that's what the term is for what wlan0 is.
[01:49] <Bodsda> bazhang: hey dude!!
[01:49] <SoulBlade> anybody know if mixer_app should show up when i do a lsof | grep /dev/snd
[01:49] <fde> FastZ: They are all virtual interfaces...
[01:49] <neo_> hello
[01:49] <SoulBlade> because it isnt
[01:49] <matt_____> what is the dpkg command to install a deb?
[01:49] <shadok> matt_____: -i
[01:49] <bazhang> shadok what is a replay file-->for remaster you should look into uck ubuntu customization kit
[01:49] <fde> FastZ: None of eth0 ath0 wlan0 are real devices.
[01:49] <bazhang> Bodsda: hi! :)
[01:49] <matt_____> and will the truecrypt version for 7.10 work on 8.04?
[01:49] <jasperarcher> bazhang: thank you.  when i set my BIOS to boot from my internal HD, the screen goes black with the word "GRUB _" in white text and then hangs.  so far the only way i can get into my OS is via my USB stick
[01:49] <shadok> bazhang: ok, i'll check that, thanks :)
[01:49] <fde> FastZ: look in /dev/ for them... not there  ;)
[01:50] <linkinxp> should i update the kernel????
[01:50] <caexo> :(   nvidia-settings won't let me increase refresh to 75+  gonna get a headache at 60hrz
[01:50] <linkinxp> :S
[01:50] <bazhang> matt_____: dpkg -i file.deb
[01:50] <javisanchez> how do i run multiple monitors on Ubuntu?
[01:50] <neo_> how do you get audio to work on Ubuntu 8.04? it says it can't find my sound card.
[01:50] <fde> Even devices in /dev/ can be renamed to your liking...
[01:50] <Bodsda> jasperarcher: is there a boot loader on that hard drive? you may need to install grub to it
[01:50] <bazhang> linkinxp not unless you want to lose support here :)
[01:50] <neo_> The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[01:50] <neo_> You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.
[01:50] <linkinxp> bazhang,  hoooo ;P and what are to goog things about updating?
[01:50] <neo_> how do i fix this???
[01:50] <shadok> bazhang: uck doesn't seem to feature a hands off install, i'm looking further
[01:51] <jasperarcher> Bodsda: thank you.  I thought that when I did the install, i selected something to put a boot loader on that HD.  how could i check to see that there is a boot loader on there that will work with my BIOS?
[01:51] <Bodsda> neo_: pastebin the output of lspci
[01:51] <Bodsda> !paste
[01:51] <neo_> huh?
[01:51] <FastZ> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9641/
[01:51] <_paradox_> im sorry to keep bugging yall, but i dont know if i got a problem or not
[01:51] <arehm> ubuntu currently installed on a usb drive case connected to laptop. laptop has an internal hd (XP). I want to pull the internal drive out. I want to pull the laptop drive out of the usb case and put it in place of the current internal drive. I want to know if i can magically make ubuntu happy once it changes from seeing itself on a usb connection to seeing itself as /dev/hda (i think that's what it will become)
[01:51] <bil9000> wow it is a zoo in here
[01:51] <SilverStreak> neo_: open a terminal, type in lspci, then copy that output
[01:52] <javisanchez> guys, please, how do i run multiple monitors? i have 3 nvidia cards connected
[01:52] <shadok> bazhang: sorry, a replay file is used to replay an installatio, keeping the settings previousily used on another machine
[01:52] <Bodsda> jasperarcher: the bios and boot loader are two seperate things and dont really have much to do with eachother in any means that we care about -- are you booted in ubuntu atm?
[01:52] <bazhang> shadok: uck is remaster iso--you want to clone then? the command !clone has info or /msg ubottu clone in a pm
[01:52] <bil9000> holy crap!
[01:52] <SoulBlade> yea its kind of impossible to get anything at the moment - hopefully it dies down later
[01:52] <bil9000> I don't know how anyone can keep track of all this
[01:52] <aventin> ready for the desktop, huh? after upgrading my touchpad just stopped working. good luck, mum. (sorry - just need to blow off some steam)

[01:53] <Bodsda> neo_: if that is the whole output of lspci then ubuntu is not detecting your sound card
