[12:21] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: well it still might be something that can be done with gnome but ive only done it with kde, gnome is just a desktop

[12:21] <vegombrei> david__--: gutsy something
[12:22] <zerodamge> How is it that you enable boot logging?
[12:22] <manawyddan> it says after in pre-configuring packages it says interpretation error in file /varlib/dpkg/available
[12:22] <Lardarse> genius: did you actually paste anything? there's only a blank line there
[12:22] <blame> Does "savedefault" indicate grub's load order during boot in ubuntu ?
[12:22] <david__--> vegombrei: make sure your repos are enabled,do you know how to do that?
[12:22] <ciro> !screensaver
[12:22] <ciro> !screensavers
[12:22] <manawyddan> on line 100 package `libbonoboui2-0'
[12:22] <vegombrei> david__--: donno what repo is
[12:22] <Lardarse> !botabuse | ciro
[12:22] <vegombrei> david__--: how do i check if they are enabled ?
[12:23] <genius> Lardarse: yes
[12:23] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: hoggie got banned for unintentionally flooding it seems, is it a permanent ban or what do you think?
[12:23] <DRebellion> What command would I use to recursively remove any directories called ".svn"?
[12:23] <Lardarse> blame: i would look at man grub (or the grub manual on the gnu site)
[12:23] <david__--> vegombrei: ok,go to http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2008/03/cool-desktop-applicationspart-2-25.html
[12:23] <Lardarse> jack_spratt: it wans't a ban... % before the name just stops them from talking
[12:24] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, looks like nautilus is broken..
[12:24] <david__--> vegombrei:read where it talks about enabling your repos and do that
[12:24] <david__--> once you do that then go to terminal and run sudo apt-get zsnes
[12:24] <Lardarse> genius: there's nothing in that paste... try pasting again?
[12:24] <david__--> sorry,sudo apt-get install zsnes
[12:24] <vegombrei> david__--: ok gimme a bit to read up on that im new to linux so it might take a while to understand
[12:24] <wirechief-intel> jack_spratt: dunno
[12:24] <jack_spratt> Lardarse: so "FloodBot3 sets ban on %hoggie!*@*" isnt a ban?
[12:25] <jack_spratt> wirechief-intel: thanks
[12:25] <Lardarse> jack_spratt: no... see freenode's website for more info
[12:25] <manawyddan> it says after  pre-configuring packages  interpretation error in file /varlib/dpkg/available  on line 100 package `libbonoboui2-0'
[12:25] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: well you could just uninstall it and reinstall (maybe)
[12:25] <genius> Lardarse: http://pastebin.com/m23828b4a
[12:26] <moDumass> hey all, how would i find out where apache is residing on my local machine?
[12:26] <manawyddan> field 'Depends' , no name of package or expected file name!!!!!
[12:27] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: but i really think its going to be like pulling a thread from a sweater you wont be done till its all unraveled
[12:27] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, yeah but backuping will take a while too
[12:27] <jack_spratt> Lardarse: k thanks
[12:27] <Circuittsunam1> Hey guys, I'm new using eeexubuntu... I would like to make PCMan my default file manager?
[12:27] <genius> Lardarse: http://pastebin.com/m23828b4a ...
[12:27] <jack_spratt> hey, whats the visual partition viewer/handler for cli thats not fsck
[12:28] <Pchem> hi
[12:28] <Lardarse> genius: i have no idea...
[12:28] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, there's something in /home/eni because ls /home/eni looks like doesn't work OK ! just stays there.. and does nothing
[12:28] <varen> lo all
[12:28] <Circuittsunam1> Hey guys, I'm new using eeexubuntu... I would like to make PCMan my default file manager? I'm currently using Thunar file manager
[12:29] <cvd-pr> ompaul,  what are you say>
[12:29] <Saint`Dia> How can I open .rar files?
[12:29] <varen> anybody have experience with usb 56k Modems?
[12:29] <Lardarse> Circuittsunam1: try asking in #xubuntu ?
[12:29] <bazhang> Circuittsunam1, is it in the repos or do you need to install it
[12:29] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, everythin that has to do with /home/eni [which is my homedir] looks like FREEZES. even if i type rm -rf /home/eni/[tab key] it freezes. nautilus froze when i wanted to surf into that dir..
[12:30] <anars> does anyone know if there exists an application for interior decoration for Gnome?
[12:30] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: sounds like you are already in the soup, i would download ubuntu and make a livecd and try a rescue
[12:30] <trixi_> hi i want som help i dual boots vista and 8.04 but i had to reinstall vista so now i cant boot ubuntu
[12:30] <bazhang> anars could you clarify please
[12:30] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: if you had the cd you could do that.
[12:30] <bazhang> trixi_, you need to fix grub
[12:30] <Saint`Dia> need open .rar!!
[12:30] <varen> Saint`Dia: sudo apt-get rar
[12:30] <Saint`Dia> varen: ok.
[12:31] <varen> np
[12:31] <trixi_> ok
[12:31] <bazhang> Saint`Dia, actually unrar
[12:31] <eniiii> im just going to download the latest .iso
[12:31] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: you will need it anyways for a new install.
[12:31] <wanderingii> im trying to watch video clips on youtube, but i am not getting any sound. why might this be? sound works fine in any other application and is not muted in the video player.
[12:31] <anars> bazhang: I'd like an application which fits into Gnome nicely (GUI wise), which enables me to draw up, say, a room with measures, and put up walls, windows etc. to see how new or existing furniture can fit
[12:31] <varen> whoops.. sorry Saint`Dia
[12:31] <eniiii> wirechief-intel, ill do the backup from windows
[12:31] <bazhang> wanderingii, known adobe bug
[12:31] <varen> missed then un
[12:31] <bazhang> anars, 3d stuff or not
[12:31] <wirechief-intel> eniiii: being without a cd would be like in a sinking ship without a life boat.
[12:31] <anars> bazhang: not :-)
[12:31] <vegombrei> david__--: done ...
[12:32] <vegombrei> david__--: what next ?
[12:32] <wanderingii> ah no, so is there anything i can do to fix it?
[12:32] <bazhang> wanderingii, you talkin to me?
[12:32] <vegombrei> david__--: hello ?
[12:33] <david__--> vegombrei:sudo apt-get install zsnes
[12:33] <wanderingii> bazhang, yes
[12:34] <varen> so no-one setup a usb 56 modem in here before ? i realize the tech is like a bajillion years old but what can you do..
[12:34] <bazhang> wanderingii, perhaps installing libflashsupport will work, others ahve reported that turning off music players does it
[12:34] <wirechief-intel> varen your not likely to see much support for a usb modem ;(
[12:34] <bazhang> varen someone may have but they might not be aroudn right now; best bet is to wait a bit and hit the forums in the meantime
[12:34] <vegombrei> david__--: done ..
[12:35] <vegombrei> david__--:
[12:35] <bazhang> vegombrei, what you trying to do
[12:35] <stalker314314> when i switched to 8.04, kqemu module does not exist. can anyone proide me good links to install kqemu now (i don't see anything in synaptic for my kernel)?
[12:35] <varen> wirechief-intel: yeah i thought as much.. polling the forums hasn't yielded much.. thinking that maybe getting eth for this friend will be a better setup..
[12:35] <anars> bazhang: there must be something like that around :-) it doesn't have to be advanced.. at all.
[12:35] <david__--> vegombrei: now go to applications,games and then it will be there
[12:35] <IdleOne> !dialup | varen
[12:35] <nikolaj> Anyony who had the same problem as I have, I have installed Ubuntu, and now I can't reinstall Xp on a nother partition, it say Can't find any harddisk In the XP installationprogram
[12:35] <bazhang> anars you want some type of drawing app? is that it?
[12:36] <varen> tx ubottu
[12:36] <varen> IdleOne: i'm on HSDPA, my friend needs the dialup :P
[12:36] <bazhang> nikolaj, that is a problem with the xp disk; you need to intsall the drivers for that disk or check in bios to look for ide not sata
[12:36] <wirechief-intel> varen modems are of little use when downloads are like 100mb  anymore
[12:36] <vegombrei> david__--: i ran it and nothing happened .. it didnt even show any error
[12:37] <Pchem> hi
[12:37] <david__--> vegombrei:hmm...give it a second to see if it will run
[12:37] <varen> wirechief-intel: you're right man. stupid South-Africa..
[12:37] <Stormcr0w> hello all. Is it possible to create an account where compiz is not enabled?
[12:37] <varen> :)
[12:37] <giusef> hi all. Changing the resolution by editing xorg.conf, it doesn't work in ubuntu, why?
[12:37] <babolat> Stormcr0w: yes
[12:37] <vegombrei> bazhang: im trying to play some nintendo games on ubuntu .. i saw a friend playing em and it seems like so much fun
[12:37] <Pchem> maybe know someone how can i install drivers for my card radeon 9200 on ubuntu 8.04?
[12:37] <anars> bazhang: well, no. a very simplified application which allows me to enter measurements of a room, then put in couches, chairs, tables etc. of custom measurements too. to get an idea how furniture would fit, if we were to re-decorate the apartment
[12:37] <bazhang> Stormcr0w, sure just remove it
[12:37] <nikolaj> bazhang, so if I find it in bios, the it should start the installation?
[12:38] <vegombrei> david__--: nothing :(
[12:38] <wirechief-intel> varen no most distros are that way, except perhaps DSL
[12:38] <varen> Stormcr0w: system -> appearance -> effects --> none ?
[12:38] <anars> there's a ton of these for Windows, but that doesn't help me alot ;-)
[12:38] <david__--> vegombrei:do you have compiz-fusion running?
[12:38] <bazhang> anars, you need roms for that-->not a province of this channel
[12:38] <stalker314314> anars: try dia
[12:38] <stalker314314> when i switched to 8.04, kqemu module does not exist. can anyone proide me good links to install kqemu now (i don't see anything in synaptic for my kernel)?
[12:38] <Stormcr0w> bazhang: I would like to use compiz with my main account, whereby I do lots of Desktop work, but I would like to create an account where it does not load at all, so that I can run 3d graphics games via wine
[12:39] <bazhang> nikolaj, yeah but you should ask in ##windows chan
[12:39] <Stormcr0w> disabling the effects on one account will have no effects on another?
[12:39] <babolat> Stormcr0w: when in the session of that other user, fo to Appearances and set the effects to NONE.
[12:39] <anars> stalker314314: trying it now! thanks for the hint
[12:39] <nikolaj> bazhang, Thanks.
[12:39] <Stormcr0w> babolat: ok, let me try that
[12:39] <david__--> stormcr0w:yep,works like a charm :)
[12:40] <bazhang> Stormcr0w, best to turn it off then for yourself and turn it on again everytime you need it, or add it to *your* startup session (add commands section)
[12:40] <vegombrei> david__--: whats compiz-fusion ?
[12:40] <vegombrei> david__--: how do i run it ?
[12:40] <bazhang> have to step away for a few
[12:40] <babolat> !compiz | vegombrei
[12:41] <david__--> vegombrei:dont worry about running it :) just wanted to make sure you didnt have it on
[12:41] <smmagic> Whats the name of the compiz settings manager?
[12:41] <david__--> vegombrei:im not quite sure why zsnes isnt running for you though..hmmm...
[12:41] <wanderingii> bazhang, i installed that lib package do i just need to restart my browser or do i have to do anything else/
[12:41] <vegombrei> david__--: well im new to unix dude .. donno anything man
[12:41] <babolat> smmagic: ccsm
[12:41] <smmagic> It can't find the package o_o
[12:42] <vegombrei> david__--: does that package come with nintendo games or do i have to download em from somewhere
[12:42] <babolat> smmagic: in the Add/Remove, type in "compiz" (without the ") in the search filter textbox, then the manager should appear at the top. it has "ccsm" in parenthesis
[12:43] <david__--> vegombrei:you have to find your own games,called ROMS,you can find them by typing zsnes roms in google,they are everywhere...im trying to think why it wont start for you though
[12:43] <zerodamge> Im seriously tired of this restricted driver thing. And cant do anything, except use the nv drives. If i do use the restricted drivers, it just blanks the screen on boot, no errors, no logs, no terminal
[12:44] <smmagic> mmk, thanks
[12:44]  * delcoyote hi
[12:44] <vegombrei> david__--: is there a way u can connect to my system and check it out ?
[12:44] <david__--> vegombrei:no,sorry
[12:44] <vegombrei> david__--: damn .. i thought with unix such kinda networking is possible
[12:44] <zerodamge> Does anyone have any ideas?
[12:45] <david__--> vegombrei:it is though i dont do it :)
[12:46] <vegombrei> david__--: when i run zsnes it opens a small window and then disappears
[12:46] <branstrom> Why can't I have language-pack-en without openoffice.org?!
[12:47] <branstrom> Do I need any language-pack if I just want English everywhere?
[12:47] <babolat> branstrom: how do u mean everywhere?
[12:47] <branstrom> In the OS
[12:47] <gidna> Hi
[12:48] <branstrom> and all apps
[12:48] <gidna> can I pass from ubuntu 7 to 8 without reinstalling the system?
[12:48] <varen> gidna: sure
[12:48] <babolat> branstrom: if you have everything set by default, Ubuntu should be installed in English.. as to the apps you install, most of them come in English, right? But each may have separate language preference configs
[12:48] <david__--> vegombrei:hmmm...what are your graphics set to...go to system,preferences,appearance and then visual effects tab
[12:49] <gidna> How can I do that?
[12:49] <erUSUL> gidna: if it is 7.10 --> 8.04 yes; if yiou are on 7.04 you will have to do 7.04 → 7.10 → 8.04
[12:49] <erUSUL> !upgrade | gidna
[12:49] <babolat> !alternate | gidna
[12:49] <varen> gidna: hang on getting you a link
[12:50] <branstrom> babolat: I tried to remove openoffice.org - but it seems a bunch of language-packs (that I may need?) are dependant on it, which sounds stupid to me
[12:50] <vegombrei> david__--: custom setting
[12:50] <gidna> I have Ubuntu 7.10
[12:50] <gidna>                 - the Gutsy Gibbon - released in October 2007.
[12:50] <pk53> can i get some help with the printer setup on a network?
[12:50] <david__--> vegombrei:set them to extra
[12:50] <david__--> then try to run zsnes again
[12:50] <vegombrei> david__--: ok wait
[12:51] <mini_help> Hello- new to IRC- looking for help getting audio out optical on mac mini using 8.04- can anyone help?
[12:51] <babolat> branstrom: because those language packs have been designed to translate/dictionary/thesaurus your documents to another language. It's not exactly an accessibility translation system for apps
[12:51] <vegombrei> david__--: it still wont run :(
[12:52] <babolat> gidna: if you have good and competent Internet connection, the Alternate CD installation should work for you. You may also do this by using Synaptic
[12:52] <pardusss> !turk
[12:52] <pardusss> !turkish
[12:53] <wirechief-intel> pk53 what printer brand and model are you trying to use ?
[12:53] <vegombrei> david__--: you think mebbe its because i have irssi open and it needs the terminal window to work ?
[12:53] <pk53> epson stylus cx3900.
[12:53] <david__--> vegombrei:no,that isnt the problem...run sudo apt-get update
[12:53] <branstrom> babolat: what I think is weird is that I apparently can't uninstall openoffice.org, if I want to keep the locale of the system, so that everything works correctly... (Is this true? I'll reinstall OO.org if this indeed is the case...)
[12:54] <cvd-pr>  can i run a virtual xp that is already instaled in a partition in linux ussing a virtual software?
[12:54] <wirechief-intel> pk53 and you have tried the web interface localhost:631  ?
[12:54] <pk53> itworked on 7.04 but since i upgraded to 8.04 it doesn;t work
[12:54] <vegombrei> david__--: done ..
[12:54] <babolat> branstrom: i didnt quite catch what u meant by locale. do you mean your documents?
[12:54] <vegombrei> david__--: still wont run :(
[12:55] <wirechief-intel> pk53 well have you reinstalled on 8.04 ?
[12:55] <branstrom> babolat: no... the language of the system itself
[12:55] <branstrom> Maybe you're not the person I should be speaking to if you don't know what a locale is :)
[12:55] <pk53> wire i installed it thru samba
[12:55] <david__--> vegombrei:hmmm...ask bazhang when he steps back in,ive guided you as far as i can,sorry it wasnt to the end
[12:55] <david__--> :(
[12:56] <david__--> vegombrei:hes helped me quite a few times
[12:56] <branstrom> but thanks for trying to clarify, I guess :)
[12:56] <babolat> branstrom: what language do you have Oo.o? and what language have you set for Ubuntu?
[12:56] <vegombrei> david__--: can i msg you privately .. i tried running it thru terminal and it game me an error i think you should see .. can i paste it in a private chat ?
[12:56] <david__--> sure
[12:56] <babolat> if you are still able to get this, gidna, a word of advice: a clean install may be the easiest and safest way to get to Hardy
[12:57] <wirechief-intel> pk53 ive only used localhost:631 for printer installs and it seems to be the most successful way for linux.
[12:57] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[12:57] <branstrom> babolat: I haven't changed anything - it's all in English. But I tried to remove OO.org and it then said it would remove language-packs too, which made me hesitate but I accepted it. Then it complained about not being able to set my locale correctly.
[12:57] <gidna> If I upgrade to 8.04 I will have 3 years of support or I will have the support consumed with the 7.10 ?
[12:57] <pardusss> hi alll
[12:58] <pardusss> can you help me?
[12:58] <babolat> gidna: three years
[12:58] <pardusss> huoopp
[12:58] <vegombrei> david__--: did you see ?
[12:58] <pardusss> my guys!!!
[12:58] <david__--> pardusss:please state what you need help with instead of asking if someone can help :)
[12:58] <pardusss> david__--:  :D
[12:59] <pk53> wire thanks i'll try it. should i remove the printer instalation and install it once again
[12:59] <pardusss> ubuntu 8.4 turkish link?
[12:59] <vegombrei> david__--: you there ?
[12:59] <david__--> vegombrei:yes
[12:59] <babolat> branstrom: have you actually experienced a change in languages while using your Operating System?
[12:59] <vegombrei> david__--: did you see ?
[13:00] <pardusss> david__--: did you know?
[13:00] <gidna> why have I to install 728 Mb?
[13:00] <mini_help> anyone using an Intel  Mac out there?
[13:00] <branstrom> babolat: I'm not logged in graphically, so I don't know if there will be any problem
[13:01] <wirechief-intel> pk53 well its mucked up.i would try to see if there are some instructions from your vendors site for linux and decide but if there is none. just do a reinstall
[13:01] <vegombrei> you guys have a paste it link ?
[13:01] <symphony_bt> does b43 driver supports injection?

[13:06] <babolat> Beastage: several repo mirrors are currently under heavy load
[13:06] <zerodamge> It works likes shit, i install it, and right after the ubuntu logo it just gives a blank screen, no error, no terminal, no sounds, notrhing
[13:07] <babolat> !language | zerodamge
[13:07] <zerodamge> Sry
[13:07] <david__--> vegombrei:for a new user its frustrating but well worth it in the end
[13:07] <vegombrei> hmmm true
[13:07] <Beastage> babolat:  oh!!! well thats good for me I guess
[13:07] <vegombrei> anyways .. see ya
[13:07] <Beastage> hehe
[13:07] <zerodamge> There isnt even any errors in the logs
[13:07] <zerodamge> it just stops working
[13:07] <babolat> Beastage: try changing your repository servers. it might help
[13:07] <Beastage> anyway... vista + wubi = ftw
[13:08] <helowo> why would changin repos help?
[13:08] <vegombrei> babolat: did you just discipline zerodamge for saying the "S" word ??
[13:08] <helowo> lol
[13:08] <Mickinator> but the wubi install isnt a full proper install is it?
[13:08] <zetheroo> anyone?
[13:09] <babolat> helowo: because distributing loads to several servers would ultimately ease them
[13:09] <helowo> zetheroo: nvidia hardware, i'd look in nvidia-settings
[13:09] <babolat> vegombrei: yes i did
[13:09] <Beastage> Mickinator:  appears it is a proper install , with supposedly inferior HDD performance but so far the hdd performance are very fast
[13:09] <zetheroo> helowo: ATI
[13:09] <helowo> babolat: oh, lol.. i thought that was in relation to zerodamge
[13:09] <vegombrei> babolat: but its a dictionary word ..
[13:10] <helowo> Ah, I don't recall off hand then zetheroo. someone else here might, i have nvidia hardware mostly :)
[13:10] <zerodamge> yes, but first of all, i dont know how to use that, and i cant use the gui of it, becouse it wants the drivers to be there (and i cant boot with them installed)
[13:10] <babolat> vegombrei: a dictionary word that was used for something other than its dictionary meaning
[13:10] <Mickinator> nah im not too sure about that, its all run from one file afaik!
[13:10] <helowo> zerodamge: can you boot into the console? ie recovery mode option from the grub boot menu?
[13:11] <zerodamge> I im ubuntu now, i can boot the console, use recovery, whatever i want
[13:11] <Beastage> Mickinator:  yes , wubi creates a virtual partition in a big file , its like vmware but much better performance
[13:11] <helowo> if you can, i might try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[13:11] <Mickinator> so its not a proper installl lol
[13:11] <vegombrei> babolat: but i see you guys using the word mount every now and then .. now that accordint to the dictionary could also mean the "F" word innit
[13:11] <zerodamge> it works, as long as i dont install the restricted drivers
[13:11] <Whoopie> Hi, suddently, the user names in the GDM face browser are missing. Any advice how to fix it? Thanks!
[13:11] <Beastage> Mickinator:  it works just like a proper one
[13:11] <babolat> Beastage: there may be several limitations to Wubi, since it was after all designed to ease transitions/migrations from Windows. When you're ready (you'll know when) a full install of Ubuntu may serve you better
[13:12] <erider> should I upgrade to 8.04
[13:12] <Mickinator> what card do you have zerodamage?
[13:12] <babolat> !ot | vegombrei
[13:12] <zerodamge> Nvidia GeForce 8400
[13:12] <IdleOne> need a gui backup utility any recommendations?
[13:12] <jussi01> !backup
[13:12] <Mickinator> tried envy?
[13:12] <zerodamge> The newest driver (nvidia-gfx-new)
[13:12] <zerodamge> yes
[13:12] <Mickinator> and envy doesnt work?
[13:12] <zerodamge> same thing, using the restricted and envy
[13:12] <Mickinator> hmm
[13:12] <Beastage> babolat:  in my eyes , its when ubuntu ready not me :D
[13:13] <erider> is 8.04 stable?
[13:13] <Beastage> anyway thx for help! bye
[13:13] <helowo> erider: kinda
[13:13] <zerodamge> Its just to strange for me
[13:13] <Mickinator> is it the 8400gs?
[13:13] <ranveer> i am getting initramfs busybox console
[13:13] <erider> helowo, should I upgrade or wait?
[13:13] <zerodamge> no, i think its just 8400
[13:13] <Mickinator> upgrade
[13:14] <helowo> what are you on now erider?
[13:14] <Mickinator> soz upgrade @erider
[13:14] <ranveer> I have tried irqpoll floppy=off all_generic_ide
[13:14] <erider> gutsy
[13:14] <babolat> erider: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804 may shed some light
[13:14] <ranveer> hardy amd64
[13:14] <helowo> ah, yeah upgrading would be ok
[13:14] <helowo> i've found things only better than gutsy
[13:14] <helowo> no major regressions
[13:15] <Mickinator> have you tried any of the older drivers @ zero
[13:15] <zerodamge> Id like to say something intelligent, but i have nothing to go by, lige an error message
[13:15] <Mickinator> an older drivr might work
[13:15] <branstrom> babolat: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/211706  I believe this is the same issue
[13:15] <erider> helowo, yeah I have amd64 too
[13:15] <DWStrauss> I'm having a problem with 8.04 mounting a usb camera.  I get a popup message stating "Unable to mount the volume", although I can mount it by hand (sudo mount) if I want to.  Funny thing is this worked when I first did the install two days ago and it works in the LiveCD.  I figure a config file got messed up somewhere but I can't figure out which one.
[13:16] <zerodamge> Yes, the older ones, but they bring up the config dialog, where you selected monitors and stuff, but it dosent function. The resolution is 800x600 max
[13:16] <ranveer> @erider I am getting problems installing it
[13:16] <Mickinator> DW is it always plugged in?
[13:16] <ranveer> i get initramfs
[13:16] <pk53> wired i'm here thru google
[13:16] <DWStrauss> Mickinator: no, it's the automount that fails when I plug it in
[13:17] <Mickinator> hmm, not to sure then zero, ive ati myself which is a pain in the rocks
[13:17] <helowo> lol, speak of the devil
[13:17] <helowo> konversation just segfaulted
[13:17] <helowo> lol
[13:17] <symphony_bt> does b43 driver supports injection?
[13:17] <helowo> yeah, my #1 goal purchasing the 2nd hand laptop i have now was "Must not have ATI graphx"
[13:17] <helowo> I went through too many nightmares in the past
[13:17] <zerodamge> might it be caused by wrong monitor setup, like it jumping to my HDMI output?
[13:17] <pk53> wired can u show me how to do it?
[13:18] <erider> ranveer, I just want to know if there is an advantage to upgrade now or should I wait
[13:18] <Mickinator> DWStrauss hmm, if you were to plug it in before you booted, like when you knew you were gonna be usin it, you could add your mount command to /etc/rc.local
[13:18] <helowo> @zero, i might be missing something but I don't see how that's related, no
[13:18] <manawyddan> Lardarse: the error i'm having can be found in here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1dd84267
[13:18] <cvd-pr> wait unitl you cant run the latest software, then why to upgade/
[13:18] <zerodamge> Just a thought
[13:18] <DWStrauss> Mick: I suppose so but I don't always know
[13:18] <Mickinator> that doesnt fix it, but it keep ya tickin over for the mo
[13:18] <helowo> if you suspect it's hookup related, definitely rule that out though
[13:19] <Matiee> Hello everybody. Is someone there who can help me with konqueror/dolphin and hidden files?
[13:19] <ranveer> @erider can't help you on this, I heard its very good. but its giving me hard time installing
[13:19] <justAsset_> hello all
[13:19] <zerodamge> I only have my CRT connected :P
[13:19] <erider> ranveer, the only thing that I see that I may like is firefox3
[13:19] <Mickinator> DWStrauss: well, if you did and you plugged it in, randomly like, w/o knowing when you were going to, just ctrl+alt+backspace logoff, and /etc/rc.local is run everytime you do that
[13:20] <ranveer> erider, you can anyways install firefox 3b5
[13:20] <ranveer> its out already
[13:20] <DWStrauss> Mick: yeah, but I might just as well run sudo mount when I need it
[13:20] <Mickinator> true lol
[13:20] <justAsset_> is there anyone who knows everything about DMRAID?
[13:20] <Mickinator> it is a solution though
[13:20] <Mickinator> lol
[13:20] <Infinito_> hey let me ask, is it possible to update the distro from 5.10 directly to 8.04 with the update manager?
[13:20] <DWStrauss> Mick: it's annoying though.  It used to work.
[13:21] <justAsset_> a little help is needed
[13:21] <DWStrauss> anybody know where the config information for usb automounting is kept?
[13:21] <MatBoy> I get a weird error when I do a apt-get remove --purge *xen*
[13:21] <MatBoy> E: Couldn't find package libxen3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu19_amd64.deb
[13:21] <MatBoy> which seems to be installed
[13:21] <erider> what else will 8.04 offer
[13:21] <S4nD3r> is possible to install vmware in 8.04?
[13:22] <S4nD3r> Ineed to works with virtualization
[13:22] <MatBoy> S4nD3r, yes, but very hard to do
[13:22] <S4nD3r> umm
[13:22] <erider> umm is right
[13:22] <S4nD3r> what do you recommend MatBoy
[13:22] <MatBoy> S4nD3r, debian for vmware
[13:22] <MatBoy> damn, why is it so difficult to remove xen :S
[13:22] <erider> MatBoy, why is it hard?
[13:23] <zerodamge> what command do you run to install the nvidia drivers
[13:23] <S4nD3r> what about virtualization in ubuntu?
[13:23] <Matiee> Is it possible to hide files and folders without having to rename them?
[13:23] <Matiee> I know that Edgy used to do that.
[13:23] <ranveer> please someone help me with the installtion. I am using hardy amd64 and it comes to initramfs console everytime i try to install?
[13:23] <S4nD3r> is there something?
[13:23] <zerodamge> and it is possible for me to set up my screen in terminal, using nvidia-settings?
[13:23] <wx9j_> where are high scores for mines stored ??
[13:25] <gordonjcp> Matiee: if a file or folder has a filename that starts with "." then it's hidden
[13:25] <wirechief-intel> ranveer have you done a media check ?
[13:25] <ranveer> yes
[13:25] <ranveer> even that brings me to initramfs
[13:26] <babolat> !who | ranveer
[13:26] <Matiee> gordonjcp: I know, but in Edgy there was also a way to hide them even if they weren't dotted files and folders.
[13:26] <MatBoy> how can I solve this when dpkg says it's installed ? E: Couldn't find package libxen3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu19_amd64

But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[13:27] <gordonjcp> Matiee: I don't remember that
[13:27] <wirechief-intel> ranveer it keeps some things from affecting your bootup, google it if you want more information
[13:27] <MatBoy> how can dpkg say that packages are installed and apt-get can't remove them because they are not installed ?
[13:27] <gordonjcp> Matiee: can't really see how it would work, either
[13:27] <babolat> !pt | manawyddan
[13:28] <Matiee> gordonjcp: It's still possible in Hardy if you are using Gnome: simply create a text file named .hidden and list inside all the files and folders that you want to hide
[13:28] <gordonjcp> Matiee: ah, clever
[13:28] <Matiee> gordonjcp: I think it is, indeed.

[13:32] <babolat> IRWolfie-: how do you mean?
[13:32] <linuxPrincess> hi I have been trying to install gutsy/ hardy on a legacy system... PIII / 512 MB ram
[13:33] <babolat> linuxPrincess: and?
[13:33] <linuxPrincess> and I can't get past the initial scroll bar
[13:33] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP you might want to read up on xrandr  google for wiki xrandr might help you.
[13:33] <compengi> i had a problem with hardy detecting my fx5500 nvidia vga card. after installing the restricted driver, resolution went down to 640x480. so i loaded gutsy live cd and copied xorg.conf file to hardy, restarted x server and it worked. but the problem is that everytime i reboot my pc, the resolution goes down back to low and i need to restart the x server before logging in
[13:33] <IRWolfie-> i have an image file, i have a usb, i want to put the image on as the whole filesystem, is there an easy way to do this? without fo
[13:33] <MatBoy> craigp84, http://pastebin.ca/1013676
[13:33] <BFCPP> ok so you had such a similar problem ?
[13:33] <linuxPrincess> I can't try the text only install since i don't have the alternate iso
[13:33] <BFCPP> it is maybe because of the new X7.3 server right
[13:34] <babolat> linuxPrincess: you may be connecting to a misbehaving or heavily loaded server. the alternate cd iso is available via bittorrent.
[13:35] <MatBoy> craigp84, it's weird if you ask me, a aptget remove --purge *xen* does also not work
[13:35] <Bombo> what drivers does ubuntu exactly load when it shows "Loading essential drivers..." ? it seems that one of these takes too long
[13:35] <jai555> Hi everybody........
[13:35] <jai555> anyone hereeeeeee?
[13:35] <linuxPrincess> babolat: actually I haven't tried installing using the text mode
[13:35] <BFCPP> wirechief-intel what does xrandr to do with that ?
[13:35] <wirechief-intel> compengi: hmm maybe the bot can help with some info
[13:36] <wirechief-intel> !resolution
[13:36] <babolat> !alternate | linuxp
[13:36] <linuxPrincess> I just want to know if if i can install gutsy / hardy on piii
[13:36] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP find the wiki and read about it.
[13:36] <BFCPP> so you think the resolution is too high for my setup ?
[13:36] <ihancioglu> Hello I would like to install ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop . and wine for play windows games.. my graphic card ati x1400. Do you have a detailed documantation for configuration ati and xorg.conf file for ubuntu 8.04 and latest ati driver. I was using pardus distro with ati 8.45 driver and wine 0.58 . games was working flawless and now I have a lot of graphic problems.
[13:37] <babolat> !ati | ihancioglu
[13:37] <BFCPP> yes but i really don't see what it has to do with blender i don't want to switch my resolution or even rotate the screen
[13:37] <linuxPrincess> babolat:  800 Mhz clock speed
[13:37] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP you can check your resolution by using xrandr  in terminal
[13:37] <craigp84> MatBoy, you're using the wrong package name, so dpkg doesn't understand what to do -- "E: Couldn't find package libxen3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu19_amd64"
[13:38] <MatBoy> craigp84, but remove *xen* should work shouldn't it ?
[13:38] <craigp84> MatBoy, just do "sudo dpkg --purge libxen3.1"
[13:38] <BFCPP> it is exactly that what i have typed into my xorg.conf
[13:38] <babolat> linuxPrincess: the alternateCD should work for you (if your Internet connection is competent and reliable). or better yet, a clean install from the LiveCD.
[13:38] <MatBoy> craigp84, I did that below what I pasted... also not working
[13:38] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP but there are other things you can do with that command the wiki can better explain
[13:38] <craigp84> MatBoy, let me look
[13:39] <MatBoy> craigp84, no, my fault, it does work !
[13:39] <craigp84> MatBoy, nope, i dont see you've typed what i put
[13:39] <laeg> why does rhythmbox music player close the instant i run it?
[13:39] <linuxPrincess> babolat:  i am trying the live cd as i said it just gets stuck at the scroll bar..
[13:39] <craigp84> MatBoy, lol cool :-)
[13:39] <linuxPrincess> and a gray screen
[13:40] <MatBoy> craigp84, thanks !
[13:40] <fibbs> hi folks
[13:40] <babolat> linuxPrincess: scroll bar? do u mean the horizontal bar that's supposed to fill up with orange?
[13:40] <MatBoy> craigp84, I typed that below my paste,so I didn't paste that part ;) is what I ment
[13:40] <craigp84> MatBoy, no worries
[13:40] <linuxPrincess> iu haven't faced this prblem is there any ways I can boot in diagnostic mode to get at least the problematic modules
[13:40] <linuxPrincess> babolat: yes
[13:40] <compengi> wirechief-intel, i tried that before an idea of using the gutsy xorg.conf configuration. i tried several things and made over 3 hardy installs. one of my tries was using the guide you suggested. but it didn't help. i reinstalled hardy and tried to compile nvidia drivers, it worked but i didn't like the kernel recompile thing. so i also reinstalled hardy to try using gutsy's xorg file and it worked but with the problem that i stated
[13:41] <fibbs> Anyone an idea how to debug a not-working suspend (standby) after upgrade to hardy? machines goes asleep, but does not wake up
[13:41] <compengi> hello gnomefreak
[13:42] <BFCPP> ok first of all thank you for the xrandr tip it maybe solves some secondary problems :-)
[13:42] <MatBoy> craigp84, can I remove /var/lib/xend ?
[13:42] <babolat> linuxPrincess: can you confirm that you do not have bad burn LiveCD?
[13:43] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[13:43] <babolat> !repeat | bullgard
[13:43] <linuxPrincess> babolat: i used the same cd to install gutsy on my notebook
[13:43] <babolat> linuxPrincess: and it worked flawlessly right?
[13:43] <linuxPrincess> with better specs of course
[13:43] <linuxPrincess> yes
[13:43] <junaid> i installed kubuntu using this command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop but i got kde 3
[13:44] <junaid> i want kde4
[13:44] <junaid> how
[13:44] <dimor> i plugged an Intel Ethernet Pro card in my system but ubuntu won't recognize it... anyone got an idea why?
[13:44] <linuxPrincess> babolat: yes
[13:44] <babolat> linuxPrincess: try booting into LiveCD in debugging mode
[13:45] <craigp84> MatBoy, yeah, but do it through the package manager, don't just rm it
[13:45] <linuxPrincess> babolat: how ?
[13:45] <wirechief-intel> compengi well i dunno, i have a ati 1300, the proprietary drivers used fail miserably too, i use my kanotix xorg.conf and then the install-fglrx-debian.sh script and it works, there is similar scripts for nvidia but you would need a xorg.conf from kanotix ;)
[13:45] <BFCPP>  wirechief-intel  i maybe have to go to a special X thread because following the tutorial this xrandr could be the real problem
[13:45] <babolat> linuxPrincess: please read http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/...arameters.html
[13:45] <babolat> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/install...oot-parms.html
[13:46] <babolat> linuxPrincess: you may try these separately or in combinations
[13:46] <zetheroo> does anyone know how to get S-video out to work with an ATI card?
[13:46] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP i understand, it has its technical moments but some things are easy line xrandr -s 1024x768  sets resolution
[13:47] <BFCPP> yes but it not a problem of the screen resolution
[13:47] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP thats xrandr -s 1024x768
[13:47] <BFCPP> i am using the old xorg.conf which deals well with the resolution
[13:47] <wirechief-intel> ok
[13:48] <compengi> junaid, you should have used apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop instead of apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu for more details
[13:48] <BFCPP> its just when i plug in the external monitor blender will not start up
[13:48] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP just thought there might be something in there for your situation in that wiki
[13:48] <BFCPP> but firefox office apps
[13:48] <BFCPP> alll work on the external monitor
[13:49] <BFCPP> and paraview is a similar problem
[13:49] <zetheroo> anyone?
[13:49] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP if xrandr is working it should do what you need if i understand its purpose correctly.
[13:49] <BFCPP> it starts up and than i cannot use the gui
[13:49] <BFCPP> both are using a python lib for opengl i think
[13:49] <MeRodent> How do change the preference so that gxine starts when a DVD is inserted rather than totem?
[13:49] <manawyddan> Solved the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/64012
[13:49] <manawyddan> Thanks anyway.
[13:49] <BFCPP> so it must be a combination of old libs which cannot deal with the new x configuration
[13:51] <BFCPP> sure i can change the resolution with xrandr but hey i had gutsy on that system before and it worked well with the same configuration and resolution
[13:51] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP possibly, i havent tried a dual monitor configuration (i have one available) but also are you using dvi cables for this ?
[13:51] <ciro> !mythtv
[13:51] <BFCPP> no dvi
[13:51] <ciro> !myth
[13:51] <BFCPP> it is a dvi to vga adapter i am using
[13:52] <Dr_willis> ciro,  also see the #mythbuntu channel. Or was it #mythubuntu
[13:52] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP i have been told that dvi cables would fix a problem i have in detecting my monitor, maybe they are needed with dual head
[13:52] <ciro> Dr_willis, thanx ;)
[13:52] <Dr_willis> dvi makes a lot of things work a lot better. I highly reccomend using DVI if you can
[13:53] <airstrike> im looking for a dock solution.. should i go for AWN or cairo-dock?
[13:53]  * wirechief-intel thinks he needs a dvi cable
[13:53] <Dr_willis> airstrike,  try them both.  :)
[13:53] <aminesoft> hallo
[13:53] <airstrike> im having problems finding the .deb package for cairo-dock
[13:54] <Dr_willis> !find cairo
[13:54] <MatBoy> mhh... removing 164 GB takes a long time :P
[13:54] <aminesoft> hallo
[13:54] <fstxx> ciro, dr_willis: www.mythbuntu.org says #ubuntu-mythtv
[13:55] <Dr_willis> fstxx,  I think they may have some redirection on some of the channels. I aint been in them in ages
[13:55] <aminesoft> hallo
[13:55] <Dr_willis> !hi | aminesoft
[13:55] <ekto1> hi
[13:56] <BFCPP> wirechief it is a old vga lcd so i cannot use a dvi cable with it :-(
[13:56] <BFCPP> and it worked all well before hardy
[13:56] <zetheroo> what happened to the Screens and Graphics panel in Hardy??? it gone!
[13:56] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP well linux is moving on up, new is good old well use old for old
[13:57] <Dr_willis> the new -autoconfiguring-X has caused a lot of little issues to some. :(
[13:57] <MeRodent> Any suggestions in how to pick gxine for DVD's as it isn't on the list of options.
[13:57] <craigp84> I'm getting really slow I/O from HD on a laptop -- can any suggest improvements? Details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789025
[13:57] <airstrike> i think i have downloaded the require packages but i can't start the dock
[13:58] <zetheroo> Seems like they removed that feature!?
[13:58] <BFCPP> i don't accept that answer old well use old for old that's a windows answer and cannot be the linux answer
[13:58] <zetheroo> I wonder why
[13:58] <BFCPP> that makes me desperate
[13:58] <kripz> how do i check what drive my video card is currently using??
[13:58] <devilsadvocate> hello folks. My ubuntu hardy (fresh install) refuses to play nice with my intel 82815. resolution doesnt go above 800x600 (native is 1024x768) and artefacts keep showing up all over the screen. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt help (it seems to be more bothered with keybaord settings than display, too) any help would be much appreciated
[13:58] <BFCPP> Yes Dr_willis it seems so
[13:59] <Vikketor1> Is the ntfs support safe in 8.04?
[13:59] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP i know how you feel, users with 64mb of ram are frustrated because the new distros dont support their hardware either.
[13:59] <davide> hello. Is there a way to change the fonts in skype and amsn, cause in Hardy they look really weird
[13:59] <Dr_willis> I did use my old installs xorg.conf under hardy to get around some issues.
[13:59] <BFCPP> oh you know i have 1.5 Gb ram and i still love to run fluxbox on it
[14:00] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP the thing is if 7.04 worked well ....
[14:00] <Wootie> Hello, Im on 1024x768 resolution, but it appears HUGE, comparing it to winxp. Every dropdown menu is like half the screen. Is it possible to "change it" with staying on that resolution?
[14:00] <BFCPP> switching back you want to suggest i don't feel good with that
[14:00] <mohbana> hi guys, how can i assign a hot key for say pigdin like make it popup
[14:01] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[14:01] <odinsbane> wine was asking me about gecko so I let it do the install...now my wine doesn't want to work any suggestions before I wipe it out and start over?
[14:01] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP try googleing for a answer
[14:01] <zetheroo> is there an app that can take over what the Screens and Graphics configuration gave us in Gusty?
[14:01] <BFCPP> hey devilsadvocate in the xorg chat there are entries which could be interesting for you
[14:01] <iadu> hi all
[14:02] <mohbana> hi guys, how can i assign a hot key for say pigdin like make it popup
[14:02] <nathanmarck> Would anyone be able to help me
[14:02] <BFCPP> oh i googled 2 days now :-(
[14:02] <devilsadvocate> BFCPP, #xorg ?
[14:03] <BFCPP> yes the xorg channel responsible for X server question ok my problem has not been solved there yet but i saw something about intel driver
[14:03] <kripz> BFCPP what is your problem?
[14:03] <sbeh> hi, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html#openssh-keys this doesn't work, what can be the reason?
[14:04] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP well #xorg might be a good place to ask for what you are trying to do.
[14:04] <gyver> does anyone know if the audio works on gusty gibbon
[14:04] <wirechief-intel> gyver lots of people having sound issues, try the #alsa channel for help
[14:04] <BFCPP> yes it should be but they weren't so cooperative as people are here
[14:05] <Hausberg> my machine crashed during upgrade to hardy while installing the packages - is there a way to continue
[14:05] <wirechief-intel> lol
[14:05] <gyver> i'm still using feisty till the problem gets settled
[14:05] <Flynsarmy> Since i installed all the latest hardy updates today, my DVD drive now opens itself every now and then
[14:05] <gyver> i like the beryl
[14:05] <BFCPP> gyver thats a reall good idea
[14:05] <BFCPP> don't upgrade before it is stable
[14:05] <Mickinator> bring back beryl
[14:05] <wirechief-intel> gyver perhaps thats a good idea.
[14:06] <eyemean> hello every1, got slight problem, trying to play scorched 3d, but game screen  flashes alot
[14:06] <devilsadvocate> BFCPP, hardy is supposed to be stable
[14:06] <Vikketor1> does hardy use ntfs-3g as default?
[14:06] <Hausberg> is there a way to continue the upgrade to hardy, my computer crashed during installation?
[14:06] <wirechief-intel> eyemean what graphics card and driver are you using ?
[14:06] <devilsadvocate> Vikketor1, gutsy did
[14:06] <Vikketor1> so its safe?
[14:06] <BFCPP> maybe stable but does not mean that all problems are solved
[14:07] <Chillance> got damn is this dual view tricky..
[14:07] <devilsadvocate> Vikketor1, sure it is.
[14:07] <Vikketor1> k
[14:07] <BFCPP> as you see i upgraded from gutsy to hardy and i would like to use swear words
[14:07] <Vikketor1> ok
[14:07] <f190> hello, i was about to fresh install 8.04 and was wondering if i should get 64bit AMD architecture or the standard. i heard that the 64bit AMD is terrible as no one writes code for it
[14:07] <ShipeR> how can I configure my sierra aircard 850 on my xubuntu?
[14:07] <devilsadvocate> BFCPP, thats what i said when i upgraded to gutsy :)
[14:07] <gyver> any one good with freebsd having trouble installing it on a computer i found
[14:07] <eyemean> radeon 9550, and enabled ati accelerated grapics driver to the special effects <wirechief-intel>
[14:07] <wirechief-intel> f190 there are lots of rumors to that affect
[14:07] <kripz> ShipeR, i am using x64 and everything is working
[14:08] <zetheroo> is the fglrx driver in Hardy able to use xrandr?
[14:08] <kripz> ShipeR, i think 32bit apps work on x64 anyway
[14:08] <Mickinator> its not that noone writes code for it, people do, its just cause theres not many people using it, and becuse there arent many using it, there arent as many people writing for it as the are for 32bit
[14:08] <ShipeR> kripz, that doesn't work well on me... i tried the AC850 article in ubuntu and that didn't work
[14:08] <MatBoy> man, I need to stop and MD and make it LVM instead of EXT3, that's odd to do !
[14:08] <JamesX4096> I just instaled AMD 64bit 8.04 and everything works perfectly, wireless, java, flash, 3d acceleration, everything
[14:08] <Chillance> ok, here is my proble,. how do set up dual view where I can move the window between the two screens, but when I maximize a window or go full screen it just does that on 1 display?
[14:08] <f190> ah sweet
[14:08] <JamesX4096> straight out of the box
[14:08] <dragon1964> james i had the same experience, nice
[14:08] <wirechief-intel> eyemean well i have a ati1300 but use fglrx and the fglrx works with nexuiz
[14:08] <Flynsarmy> With the default hardy, the window shadows are an ugly pink. Is this a common thing?
[14:09] <kripz> How do i check what driver my video card is currently using??
[14:09] <BFCPP> kripz i post my problem again: problem with running blender on dual head setup it does not startup it is the same with paraview but when i unplug the second monitor it works as usual,. I also have uninstalled compiz because i knew from my old Gutsy setup that it would not work with that enabled.
[14:09] <kripz> BFCPP, yeah i saw that and im unable to help, sorry
[14:09] <dragon1964> kripz -- lspci is a good start
[14:09] <wirechief-intel> eyemean also the www.phoronix.com  forum has lots of information on issues and solutions for 3d
[14:09] <JamesX4096> ahh actually I did have one issue, SMB shares are an issue due to a bug they are working to fix but until resolved just dissable SMB passwords on Windows shares you want to mount from Ubuntu and it's fine :-)
[14:10] <f190> i hope it fixes the problems i am having with gutsy for the standard release, it doesnt properly use the processors for the dual cores
[14:10] <Flynsarmy> The shadow colour in compiz is set to 0,0,0 but it's appearing as pink
[14:10] <dragon1964> f190 how can you tell?
[14:10] <f190> are there any dual core support programs I can add to x64 or something
[14:10] <Chillance> anyone?
[14:10] <JamesX4096> laterz guys :-)
[14:10] <kripz> dragon1964, what does unclaimed mean?
[14:10] <f190> well, it randomly freezes, and I notice that one of the processors is never used beyond like 20 percent
[14:11] <f190> whole the other goes up to 100
[14:11] <dragon1964> wow that sucks
[14:11] <eyemean> cheers wirechief-intel
[14:11] <ShipeR> kripz, it gives me the (ac850 access denied) error whenever i use (pon ac850) ... any help?
[14:12] <eyemean> if i was to get a nvidea graphics card would it be easier to enable dual screen?
[14:12] <codecaine> Chillance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684278
[14:12] <codecaine> if you using nvidia
[14:12] <wirechief-intel> BFCPP i should of mentioned that the www.phoronix.com forum might have some help if you post there.
[14:12] <f190> alternate install cd is the same thing, just without livecd, correct?
[14:13] <gyver> is it true that when using linux your processor is never full in use just a %
[14:13] <kripz> ShipeR, theres a few threads regarding that issue on the ubuntu forums, should check it out, i cant offer much help
[14:13] <ShipeR> kripz, i tried most of'em but nothin' worked... if you can point me to one of'em it'll be a great help
[14:13] <Flynsarmy> gyver: Processor usage can always be measured in percentage in both linux and inwodws?
[14:14] <BFCPP> thank you wirechief will try that

[14:17] <MatBoy> does someone know how to umount /home on a raid1 partition (software raid) ? It seems to be an issue

[14:22] <jorgenpt> Hiya
[14:22] <jorgenpt> Can I blacklist a specific path in /etc/modprobe.d/?
[14:22] <jorgenpt> I'm having a problem where the system loads the wrong nvidia.ko when I boot, but a rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia solves it.
[14:22] <dimor> is anybody familiar with marvell yukon Ethernet card problems?
[14:22] <jorgenpt> I'm guessing it's because the one nvidia.ko is in 'volatile' and linked onboot?
[14:23] <Dr_willis> dimor,  I had lots of issues with the yukon chipset in my desktop machine. I put in a different network card.
[14:23] <Dr_willis> dimor,  dmesg had all kinds of warnings, and problems  reported about that thing.
[14:23] <dimor> damn
[14:23] <dimor> :(
[14:23] <x1250> anyone have played with LTSP? Quick question, ubuntu doesn't have an /etc/inittab but LTSP expects one. What's the workaround?
[14:23] <dimor> i don't get any error or warnings
[14:24] <Dr_willis> !lstp
[14:24] <dimor> it just hangs up every once in awhile
[14:24] <Wootie> Hello, Im on 1024x768 resolution, but it appears HUGE, comparing it to winxp. Every dropdown menu is like half the screen. Is it possible to "change it" with staying on that resolution?
[14:24] <x1250> !ltsp
[14:24] <gyver> does anyone know a good stream recording prog for feisty
[14:24] <dimor> i guess i'll just have to buy another card
[14:24] <codecaine> Chillance try nvidia-xconfig -a –twinview
[14:24] <Dr_willis> dimor,  yep. thats what it does...  others have issues with the cards working at all. I would get ok connection for a while then about every 10 min. it would hang for a min+ then reset. and work for a while more
[14:24] <dimor> what card did you get?
[14:25] <Dr_willis> dimor,  really hurt my torrent and ircing.,
[14:25] <Dr_willis> dimor,  i just grabbed a GB network card from the box-o-parts i had in the basement. :)
[14:25] <dimor> yea i know
[14:25] <dimor> haha
[14:25] <dimor> i just tried 3 old Intel ones
[14:25] <dimor> none of them worked
[14:25] <dimor> :(
[14:25] <Dr_willis> If i had realized that yukon wasent a gb nic to begin with.. i would of replaced it ages ago.
[14:25] <Dr_willis> dimor,  thats odd..  intel shouldbe very well supported
[14:26] <dimor> they are like 5-6 years old
[14:26] <Dr_willis> shouldent really matter.
[14:26] <dimor> one wasn't even recognized
[14:26] <jake2point0> im trying to split up 10 gigs of pictures onto dvd's  IS there anyway to just drag and drop all the files and it will ask me for a disk
[14:26] <dimor> i had problem with those on my old win comps
[14:26] <niklaus> hi in hardy latest
[14:26] <Dr_willis> You might want to disable the onboard card in the bios. Plug in ALl the intel cards and see if any work. :) make a router!
[14:26] <dimor> mm
[14:27] <niklaus> i installed vim and when i open a file with autowrite set or not it hangs for few secs
[14:27] <niklaus> why is that ?
[14:27] <dimor> does it matter?
[14:27] <niklaus> looks like it writes to disk
[14:27] <niklaus> especially in big files
[14:27] <f190> gonna go install, thanks guys
[14:27] <Dr_willis> dimor,  ive never had any issues with any NIC - untill this darn yukon card.. and actually i only noticed the problem with it Under Hardy.
[14:27] <gyver> does anyone know a stream recording program
[14:27] <dimor> it did recognize one of them but the card just wouldn't get any connectivity... it had the same problem with it in the old comp
[14:27] <dimor> :\
[14:27] <Dr_willis> !find streamripper
[14:28] <dimor> yea i got Hardy
[14:28] <jrib> niklaus: happens to me if SESSION_MANAGER is set wrong.  Try 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' to see if you're experiencing the same
[14:28] <dimor> maybe a kernel update will solve it?
[14:28] <niklaus> jrib, how do we unset SESSION_MANAGER
[14:28] <bullgard4> My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error?
[14:28] <Jafet> gnome-terminal -e "cd ~" causes an error, this is a bug?
[14:28] <Dr_willis> dimor,  yep - but from what i googled the kernel in hardy was supposed to have fixed the problem... :(
[14:28] <jrib> niklaus: unset SESSION_MANAGER
[14:28] <mr_boo> does anyone know if there exists a software that enables you to tune your monitor performance?
[14:29] <dimor> http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SKY2.html
[14:29] <niklaus> jrib, what i meant was globally by default
[14:29] <Dr_willis> Jafet,  try just 'cd' that goes to your home dir by default.
[14:29] <dimor> Linux Kernel, version 2.6.25-rc1
[14:29] <jrib> niklaus: see if it fixes the issue first
[14:29] <Vikketorr> How to change default starting option in Grub ?
[14:29] <dimor> my current version is 2.6.24-16-generic
[14:29] <niklaus> jrib, nope it doesn't fix
[14:29] <jrib> niklaus: then never mind :)
[14:30] <niklaus> jrib,  i have a file around 300 lines when i scroll through comment some parts etc it pauses
[14:30] <jrib> niklaus: #vim might be able to tell you where to look better
[14:30] <codecaine> I think update-grub as sudo
[14:30] <jake2point0> is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself?
[14:30] <ShipeR> Vikketorr, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[14:30] <BigDaddy> hey all, got something weird here. I woke up this morning and went to log on and my face browser is gone from gdm. I can't find anything on gogle, so I am thinking that I am using the wrong terms maybe. anyone ever hear of this?
[14:30] <Jafet> Dr_willis, that causes an error as well.
[14:31] <codecaine> but theres also /boot/grub/ where its config files are so you can set orders etc
[14:31] <Dr_willis> Jafet,  perhaps state what you are trying to do.. and the channel will tell you the proper way to do it.
[14:31] <Jafet> Vikketorr, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the "default" option, probably.
[14:31] <Vikketorr> okey thanks
[14:31] <jake2point0> is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself? i dont care if i have to pay a million dollars for it. what is it called?
[14:31] <Jafet> Dr_willis, but if it causes an error, surely something is wrong anyway...
[14:32] <Jafet> Anyway, I'm trying to add a panel launcher that cds to some directory and runs some command.
[14:32] <Dr_willis> Jafet,  i dident even realize gnome-terminal supported the -e option like xterm does.
[14:32] <Jafet> It claims to...
[14:32] <Jafet> It also claims to support --working-directory which also fails.
[14:32] <dimor> Dr_willis: is it possible to update only the sky2 driver?
[14:32] <Jafet> gnome-terminal --help
[14:32] <yoda2031> it does suppot it
[14:32] <Andycas> How to change panel text to white?
[14:32] <dimor> not the entire kernel...
[14:33] <yoda2031> there was a proof of concept that used it - the invisible terminal
[14:33] <jake2point0> will nero for linux auto cue up dvds to put in once i drop my 19 gigs of pictures into the folder?
[14:33] <yoda2031> used devilspie and gnome-terminal -e cmatrix
[14:33] <jake2point0> is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself? i dont care if i have to pay a million dollars for it. what is it called?
[14:33] <Dr_willis> dimor,  no idea. I stopped looking into it - when i realized it wasent a Gigabit NIC  :) Id been updating my whole lan to GB speeds. and this was the last machine that i hadent relized was not GB .
[14:33] <dimor> ah
[14:33] <dimor> :\
[14:33] <jrib> Jafet: I imagine it is because cd is a shell built-in
[14:33] <dimor> i guess i should just get a diff card
[14:33] <Dr_willis> jrib,  good answer!
[14:33] <Jafet> jrib, but it is still a valid "command" is it not?
[14:33] <jake2point0> i have the latest version of ubuntu
[14:34] <jrib> jake2point0: working directory works fine here by the way
[14:34] <jrib> Jafet: working directory works fine here by the way
[14:34] <jake2point0> ok thanks for the help. ill go back to windows i guess and use Poweriso
[14:34] <Dr_willis> jake2point0,  i dont even think nero for iwndows supports that..
[14:34] <Jafet> jrib, and for the record --working-directory doesn't work either.
[14:34] <Jafet> This is on the default Hardy.

[14:35] <yoda2031> anyone know ircii?
[14:35] <Andycas> How to change panel text to white? (I cant see date/time)
[14:35] <Jafet> That one works, jrib.
[14:35] <jrib> Jafet: so what isn't working?
[14:35] <Jafet> yoda2031, this isn't #ircii, please ask in #ircii.

[14:36] <mr_boo> do you guys ever manipulate the modelines in xorg.conf?
[14:36] <lildunn34> how do i open a udp port using firestarter?
[14:37] <mr_boo> i'd like to tune my monitor old-school style
[14:37] <leffe> bonjour
[14:37] <Jafet> jrib, many things, for example gnome-terminal --working-directory="~/arbitrarydirectory"
[14:37] <codecaine> never had to mr_boo
[14:37] <jrib> Jafet: don't use ~, give the actual path
[14:37] <Jafet> mr_boo, you could trash X, but sure, the good ol' unix way.
[14:37] <kripz> How do i set the driver xorg uses?
[14:38] <dragon1964> edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:38] <Jafet> gnome-terminal --working-directory="/home/jafet/arbitrarydirectory" now sets my home directory to ~.
[14:38] <mr_boo> i like when i can adjust my frequencies continiously
[14:38] <codecaine> under second device then driver
[14:38] <mr_boo> tune in the performance of the monitor
[14:38] <mr_boo> i know my monitor can do better than edid reports
[14:38] <Trae> hey guys, for some reason, I can't have Rhythmbox open playing a file and then go to play something on Youtube.  (I've never had this problem on any other Ubuntu prior to this one)  it's like /dev/dsp gets hung or locked whenever it gets used.
[14:38] <kripz> dragon1964, ive added Driver "Intel" but it doesnt seem to use it
[14:38] <hebbal1273> Hi My Webcam is not working, can anybody help me?
[14:39] <jrib> Jafet: are you sure what you are typing exists?
[14:39] <Jafet> jrib, very.
[14:39] <codecaine> make sure you have intel driver install
[14:39] <jrib> Jafet: what exactly are you typing so I can try here
[14:39] <mr_boo> i like to tune in the performance of my crt monitors
[14:39] <mr_boo> i haven't seen such a feature in many years
[14:40] <mr_boo> maybe it's considered hostile to the monitor
[14:40] <cwraig> hi all i have a really weird colour (or color) mismatch problem when playing video all the colours are mixed up the pcture is the correct shape but the colours ore all wron. this goes for totem, mplayer & VLC (ubuntu 8.04)
[14:40] <jrib> Jafet: ah wait, it fails if I use "" as well
[14:40] <Jafet> jrib, sorry, um, that was x-terminal-emulator which I also tried and which also seems to have developed its own quirks.
[14:40] <kripz> codecaine, i have them installed but i notice xf86, im using x64, will it matter?
[14:40]  * Jafet tries to reproduce a few
[14:40] <dragon1964> kripz at the top of the xorg.conf file there is a command that will allow you to select the intel driver through the gui
[14:40] <jrib> Jafet: erm never mind, I made a typo.  "" seem to work too
[14:41] <hebbal1273> Hi My Webcam is not working, can anybody help me?
[14:41] <codecaine> I'm not familary with intel video cards
[14:41] <codecaine> I only used nvidia on linux
[14:41] <codecaine> or ati
[14:41] <jrib> Jafet: instead of ~, you can use $HOME though if you want a variable
[14:42] <dragon1964> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[14:42] <zamba> how can i add more workspaces in the switch to workspace x under keyboard shortcuts?
[14:42] <lorenzo> hi, i have a problem with flash videos - youtube and the likes - after upgrading to Hardy. Basically all i get is a grey rectangle where the video is supposed to be. I had this prob with Gutsy too, I had solved it with nspluginwrapper but now it's back. Can anybody help?
[14:42] <BadChoice> hi everyone, does anyone know how to load jpg textures to opengl?
[14:42] <dragon1964> that should allow you to make sure its configured properly,
[14:42] <kripz> dragon, i have run that but there is not options regarding video, only keyboard, here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4
[14:42] <Jafet> This channel isn't really a good choice for asking that type of question.
[14:42] <BadChoice> or a channel that talks about opengl
[14:42] <dragon1964> if you have x64 its possible that the intel driver did not have a module for x64
[14:43] <jrib> BadChoice: you should try ##opengl
[14:43] <Jafet> gamedev.net
[14:43] <BadChoice> thanks jrib
[14:43] <tufftuff> my system is all crazy!!! starts up with the kubuntu screen, login prompt with the xubuntu screen, and fires up the desktop with ubuntu, wtf!?
[14:43] <dragon1964> kripz, you'll notice i dropped the -phigh in that command
[14:43] <codecaine> your xorg.conf doesn't look like its configured for anything
[14:44] <gyver> tufftuff i think you've downloaded too many themes
[14:44] <gyver> i did the same thing
[14:44] <kripz> dragon1964, can you please repeat it? i accidentaly closed the window
[14:44] <dragon1964> kripz, you'll notice i dropped the -phigh in that command
[14:45] <dragon1964> and i see your xorg config
[14:45] <kripz> dragon1964, which command
[14:45] <dragon1964> but dont see any sections for your card
[14:45] <Jafet> Let's see... something basic like gnome-terminal -e "cd /home/jafet/packages/primegen-0.97; ./primes" pops up an error dialog saying "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal"
[14:45] <tufftuff> gyver, i wanted to use xubuntu because it's easy on resources, but it stil has right click bugs where it kills and kicks back out to the login.
[14:45] <dragon1964> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[14:45] <dragon1964> drop the -phigh
[14:45] <codecaine> tufftuff best thing to do it customize it from your system->prefrences and system->Administrator->login screen
[14:45] <Trae> hey guys, for some reason, I can't have Rhythmbox open playing a file and then go to play something on Youtube.  (I've never had this problem on any other Ubuntu prior to this one)  it's like /dev/dsp gets hung or locked whenever it gets used.
[14:45] <dragon1964> your config shows no video sections
[14:46] <lorenzo> hi, i have a problem with flash videos - youtube and the likes - after upgrading to Hardy. Basically all i get is a grey rectangle where the video is supposed to be. I had this prob with Gutsy too, I had solved it with nspluginwrapper but now it's back. Can anybody help please?Thanks
[14:46] <jrib> Jafet: using working-directory instead.  It doesn't accept shell built-ins.  File bugs of coures and submit patches if you want this behavior to change

[14:46] <jrib> !webcam > hebbal1273 (read the private message from ubottu)
[14:46] <codecaine> lorenzo for some reason hardy came with 2 flash drivers install you have to uninstall flash and reinstall
[14:46] <Jasper--> anyone happen to know if 8.04 supports the Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 card natively? 8 SATA2 links, no raid.
[14:46] <codecaine> let me get the link
[14:46] <dragon1964> kripz i see part of the problem
[14:46] <Trae> Basically... I can play some sound on some application and unless I quit said application /dev/dsp locks up.  I have to fuser -k /dev/dsp to release it
[14:46] <Jafet> Bugs I can stand, but this behaviour is completely inexplicable to me.
[14:47] <tufftuff> codecaine, i perfer commandline
[14:47] <dragon1964> mine doesnt show that either, they must be doing something different latelu

[14:47] <kripz> dragon1964, ran that and no options regarding video, only keyboard layout etc
[14:47] <Jasper--> It says it's got drivers for suse/fedora/deadrat, so I suppose it ought to work. Although I note the lack of debian there.
[14:48] <dragon1964> yeah and you dont have a driver listed under your card

[14:53] <lorenzo> codecaine: i followed the guide you linked, now FF3 asks for a plugin, but when i try to install adobe flash player it says it's already installed
[14:53] <fde> gidna: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[14:53] <kishnik-moddy-em> ei lorenzo
[14:53] <codecaine> did you unistall it first?
[14:54] <gidna> why?
[14:54] <lgc> Anyone knowledgeable in setting up eth1?
[14:54] <kishnik-moddy-em> what linux your using?
[14:54] <fde> gidna: uhh... because it supports wmv ?
[14:54] <lorenzo> kishnik-moddy-em: i'm on hardy 64
[14:54] <fde> gidna: gstreamer is the multimedia backend used by totem.
[14:54] <lorenzo> codecaine: yeah
[14:54] <lorenzo> i did purge
[14:54] <mecca> h
[14:55] <codecaine> check synaptics and see if you have othere flash players install by typing flash for the search
[14:55] <gidna> I have upgraded to 8.10.. first I've ever seen this files..
[14:55] <codecaine> unistall all of them
[14:55] <devilsadvocate_> is anyone here by any stragne chance using hardy with an intel i810 or 815?
[14:55] <codecaine> then reinstall alsh
[14:55] <codecaine> flash
[14:55] <lorenzo> codecaine: ok i'll try this, thanks
[14:55] <fde> gidna: if you don't want to play that movie, don't install what I told you.
[14:55] <codecaine> np
[14:56] <gidna> why can't I open it with mplayer?
[14:56] <kishnik-moddy-em> i just did it a moment ago... i tried to search for 'swf' at synaptic package manager and uninstall everything then i intsall 'swfdec-mozilla' and swfmill only
[14:56] <kripz> gidna: install VLC, everything will play
[14:56] <fde> gidna: because you don't have either ffmpeg or w32codecs installed.
[14:56] <Jafet> I suppose *sh was asked to set a working directory which it didn't understand or couldn't find which caused it to crash and caused gnome-terminal to report a generic error and halt in a useless state. By Ubuntu standards, this isn't a bug.
[14:56] <codecaine> I use flash-nonfree plugin
[14:56] <Jafet> s/crash/abort/

[14:57] <gidna> E: Couldn't find package streamer0.10-ffmpeg
[14:58] <Jafet> tufftuff, it might have, erm, encountered a problem while trying to start up.
[14:58] <fde> gidna: gstreamer
[14:58] <Jafet> tufftuff, try open a terminal and run firefox.
[14:58] <tufftuff> i guess 8.10 isn't that great? i got more things broken then fixed.
[14:58] <Trae> Can anyone help me please?  I'm having some strange issues with my sound.  Here is the scenario:  I can launch firefox, go to youtube and play a video, if I try and launch say Rhythmbox at the same time, Rhythmbox no longer plays music.  The reverse of this is also true.  Furthermore, if I open World of Warcraft in Wine, and try and play songs in Rhythmbox it no longer works.  Each of these things sound work fine individually but don't work
[14:58] <Trae> when something else is playing.  (this used to work in older versions of Ubuntu)
[14:58] <gidna> E: Couldn't find package gstreamer
[14:58] <sirjoebob> hey. anyone know of a program to batch conver mp4 files to mp3? help would be much appreciated
[14:58] <Jafet> 8.10?

[14:58] <jrib> tufftuff: 8.10?  That isn't released until october
[14:58] <fde> gidna: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg ... copy and paste

[14:59] <tufftuff> hardy heron or whatever.
[14:59] <tufftuff> 8.01?

[14:59] <gordonjcp> does anyone know anything about weird keyboard problems in Hardy with PS/2 keyboards?
[14:59] <jrib> fde: 8.10 does not exist until october.  In any case I said "released" :)
[14:59] <gordonjcp> 5Q0;5~6=~-~
[14:59] <Jafet> Trae, there is some command that will show the locked status of a file, you could try that on /dev/dsp...
[14:59] <mrh> Say, I just had a weird little surprising issue
[14:59] <kishnik-moddy-em> anyone using 'configure wine' here??
[14:59] <gordonjcp> bah, like that ;-)  -

[15:00] <lorenzo> codecaine: it seems to work now, tanks! have a nice day
[15:00] <Jafet> Thing is I can't remember what command that is.
[15:00] <tufftuff> haha, lsb_version,
[15:00] <sirjoebob> anyone know of a quick way to batch convert mp4 to mp3?
[15:00] <kishnik-moddy-em> anyone using 'configure wine' here?? <--pm me please
[15:00] <Trae> Jafet, I mean fuser -k /dev/dsp will unlock it, sure, but...   I've never had a problem with sound locking on other apps before... it's only Ubuntu 8.04 that is doing this.
[15:00] <codecaine> anytime man have a good one
[15:00] <fde> kishnik-moddy-em: Don't repeat the same question so fast... also try #winehq
[15:00] <jrib> !anyone | kishnik-moddy-em
[15:01] <Jafet> Trae, hmm, so you've confirmed that it's being locked?
[15:01] <kishnik-moddy-em> sorry...
[15:01] <mr_boo> does anyone know if there exists a software these days that enables you to tune your monitor frequencies?
[15:01] <Trae> Jafet, oh... good question lol
[15:01] <Jafet> tufftuff, does firefox run then?
[15:01] <mrh> I am running Feisty. Left the machine, went to do something, came back, and my screen was black, same way it is when on powersaving mode, and it would not respond
[15:01] <kripz> where do i find the intel x64 drivers? they dont appear in synaptic
[15:01] <tufftuff> apt-get install firefox finishes in under 1 second, saying it's completed installation, and firefox & prints off can't find mozilla directory,
[15:01] <mrh> Had to powercycle
[15:01] <Trae> Jafet, I can't say but you'd think it must be locking the device because nothing else can play until it's released.
[15:01] <mrh> all is fine now, had never happened before
[15:01] <fde> kripz: they're built into DRI and have xserver-xorg-driver-intel
[15:02] <Jafet> mrh, is it configured to go into some sort of suspend mode after you leave it? Could be a driver issue.
[15:02] <Jafet> tufftuff, hrm.
[15:02] <mrh> Jafet: no
[15:02] <Jafet> tufftuff, you might try sudo apt-get reinstall firefox.
[15:02] <mr_boo> i remember my first graphics card in the mid nineties
[15:02] <jlc> Will somebody please help me install the jave jre for x64 that I have dowbloaded?

[15:04] <mrh> Had never happened before
[15:04] <fde> kripz: Because Intel actually play nice with Linux, you don't have to install anything to get it working, you only have to worry if you use ATI/Nvidia/Creative hardware.
[15:04] <Jafet> jlc, try to install it, break your system nearly irreparably, then cry here and we'll help you restore your system; remember to be polite throughout the process because after all this you now cannot uninstall Java without expert help.

[15:07] <jlc> adam7, how do I get java to work in firefox or is there a better browser?
[15:07] <adam7> jlc: if you want Java, you can install icedtea or something, I think
[15:07] <fde> kripz: more like what it should look like: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/working-xorg.conf-file-for-intel-845g-graphics-393687/  although Driver should be "intel"
[15:07] <reseT> if i push a key on NumPad reboot my pc, someone?
[15:07] <mrh> c-ya
[15:07] <adam7> jlc: Java will run fine, just not with Firefox
[15:08] <kripz> fde: ive added that line before, had no effect, ill check out hte link
[15:08] <jlc> adam7, I downloaded jre x64 from sun but don't know how to install it.
[15:08] <codecaine> jlc theres different javas you can install type type java in synaptics I use suns java no problem
[15:08] <muuu> aloa - anyone use openchrome on hardy?
[15:08] <lgc> jlc, try Opera. Though it used to have some issues with Flash.
[15:08]  * fde has java working find with Firefox in Hardy.
[15:08] <Nono1> I got an Ubuntu disk in the post today, can't get it to work, just wondering if anyone wants to give me some advice? When I try and boot from CD, I click try Ubuntu and it says 'Ata3 Soft Reset Failed (device not found)' Any ideas guys? I've always tried installing from windows and that doesn't work either.
[15:08] <tufftuff> i'd like to know why it removes and installs the firefox package like nearly instantly. seriously in under 1 second it's back to the prompt.
[15:08] <adam7> jlc: there is no point if the only thing you want to fix is the Firefox Java plugin - install the JRE from Sun won't help
[15:08] <NappyBoy> guys i have a question.. i have kde 4 and im running ubuntu  8.04 @ the menu with applications all the icons have a ( ? )   but i can run it
[15:08] <jrib> tufftuff: messed with permissions at all?
[15:08] <mr_boo> i seem to be the only linux user who wants to push my crt monitor to it's boundaries
[15:08] <NappyBoy> what i have to do ?
[15:08] <adam7> fde: how did you pull that off? and are you using x86_64?
[15:08] <Gpalco> How to make AWN start automatically on system boot ???
[15:08] <S4nD3r> my sound card was working properly, but right now, this is not anymore. How reinstall sound card?
[15:09] <Accius> hi everyone,i'm having big problems....upper panel is incomplete and i cant even see my desktop contents
[15:09] <tufftuff> jrib, changed nothing since the upgrade and reboot.
[15:09] <fde> adam7: no... desktop users should not use x86_64.
[15:09] <Jafet> mr_boo, yes. The ##asm channel is also small for its language type.
[15:09] <tufftuff> jrib, just noticed firefox wouldn't start. and here i am.
[15:09] <jlc> adam7, I almost wish I had installed the 32 bit version, java don't work and neither does lightscribe.
[15:09] <adam7> fde: and why do you say that? I'm using it right now and it works just great :)
[15:09] <reseT> if i push a key on NumPad reboot my pc, someone?
[15:09] <adam7> jlc: feel free to reinstall, I don't use either of those
[15:09] <fde> adam7: Except for no flash or java.
[15:09] <tufftuff> it's grabbing firefox_3.0~b5_nobinonly-0ubuntu3_all.deb
[15:09] <adam7> fde: flash works fine, thats a myth
[15:10] <Jafet> mr_boo, besides, CRT is like sitting in front of a baggage scanner all day. Unless you think screenburn is exciting...
[15:10] <jlc> adam7, you are still running 7. whatever?
[15:10] <adam7> well, it might be slightly more cpu intensive, but.
[15:10] <tufftuff> guess i'll manually install it...
[15:10] <adam7> jlc: I'm using 8.04
[15:10] <jrib> tufftuff: output of 'which firefox'?
[15:10] <mr_boo> Jafet: where did assembler come into the picture
[15:10] <Jafet> mr_boo, no one bothers with these things anymore.
[15:10] <Accius> any clue?
[15:10] <jlc> same here, you must be using 8.04 32 bit
[15:10] <fde> adam7: via ndiswrapper, sure... ndiswrapper doesn't support java... the whole experience is just easier on i386, and using x86_64 brings no benefits to speak of for desktop use.
[15:10] <Jafet> mr_boo, you remind me of the old era.
[15:10] <bullgard4> How to install Mini-Commander?
[15:11] <mr_boo> Jafet: that had it's advantages
[15:11] <European-African> hey, I have nvidia, how do I use the tv output. There must be a uttility?
[15:11] <tufftuff> firefox3
[15:11] <Jafet> mr_boo, besides, what do you expect to get out of tuning your monitor...
[15:11] <adam7> fde: it's nspluginwrapper :) and Java can be done with icedtea
[15:11] <tim167> hi, is there such a thing as viruses on ubuntu ? i clicked on a strange link..., how do i check if any 'suspicious' processes are running ? thanks
[15:11] <adam7> jlc: I'm using x86_^4
[15:11] <jrib> !who | tufftuff
[15:11] <fde> adam7: yeah... typo
[15:11] <tufftuff> firefox3
[15:11] <adam7> fde: yeah, no worries :)
[15:11] <fde> adam7: No website supports icetea yet.
[15:11] <jlc> adam7, 32 bit
[15:11] <jrib> tufftuff: readlink -f `which firefox`
[15:11] <mr_boo> Jafet: i want the optimal refreshrate for high resolutions at the expense of image sharpness
[15:11] <adam7> !security | tim167
[15:11] <tufftuff> which firefox = firefox3
[15:11] <fde> icedtea*
[15:12] <tim167> thanks adam7, ill check rightaway
[15:12] <Nono1> anyone: 'Ata3 Soft Reset Failed (device not found)' On booting into Ubuntu from CDRom. First time trying it, any ideas?
[15:12] <Dr_willis> tim167,  not really an issue under linux.  About the worse somting could do would be remove your users files.
[15:12] <gidna> fde : 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[15:12] <adam7> tim167: I think it is safe to say there are no viruses (virii?) in the wild for Linux
[15:12] <jrib> tufftuff: yes, try the last command now.  Please hilight me when you respond
[15:13] <Accius> anyone:my upper panel isnt working anymore...i cant even shutdown pc
[15:13] <Jafet> mr_boo, I have never seen a person want to benchtune a CRT box before, honestly.
[15:13] <fde> !medibuntu | gidna set this repo up, and install w32codecs, if it still doesn't work with mplayer, it won't play on Linux
[15:13] <tufftuff> /usr/local/bin/firefox
[15:13] <Jafet> mr_boo, and you want an application to do this for you? Well, the Internet is big, but not that big.
[15:13] <reseT> nobody for my issue?
[15:13] <jrib> tufftuff: you lied to me...
[15:13] <reseT> if i push a key on NumPad reboot my pc, someone?
[15:14] <tufftuff> hwo i lie when it only installs firefox3?
[15:14] <muuu> hi all - anyone use hardy on Amilo Li1705??
[15:14] <mr_boo> Jafet: tune it with experimental modelines would take forever
[15:14] <tretle> do I need to install the nvidia driver from the hardware driver manager before I run envyng?
[15:14] <adam7> !hardware | muuu
[15:14] <jrib> tufftuff: the package manager doesn't install anything to /usr/local/
[15:14] <fde> tretle: no
[15:14] <v1s1t> is there any way usung the live cd to see a list of hardware in my computer like sound,video cards?
[15:14] <Jafet> fde, clever.
[15:14] <mr_boo> Jafet: besides, edid and other stuff inhibits me from using certain resolutions
[15:14] <tufftuff> jrib, shit, i didn't put it there,
[15:14] <tretle> fde, any reason why its using vesa after i have installed it then
[15:14] <muuu> join/ hardware
[15:14] <fde> tretle: Something went wrong, I suspect.
[15:15] <tretle> :(
[15:15] <muuu> join/ #hardware
[15:15] <v1s1t> ubuntu is the only os i haave
[15:15] <tretle> something went wrong - hardy
[15:15] <tufftuff> still doesn't explain why firefox & doesn't start it though.
[15:15] <jrib> tufftuff: try running '/usr/bin/firefox'
[15:15] <Jafet> mr_boo, well, all I can say is that I'm almost certain you're SOL in this business.
[15:15] <gfdgfdgdf> :|
[15:15] <mr_boo> Jafet: well, that kind of science only applies to crt monitors
[15:16] <Nono1> anyone: I get 'Ata3 Soft Reset Failed (device not found)' On booting into Ubuntu from CDRom. First time trying it, any ideas? I've also tried installing from windows, after first boot when it installs it won't start and I get an error again. Just can't get Ubuntu to work any way. Any help? Thanks :)
[15:16] <mr_boo> Jafet: any lcd i want would be too expensive
[15:16] <tufftuff> woks.
[15:16] <Jafet> v1s1t, dmesg might show you something.
[15:16] <jrib> tufftuff: get rid of the firefox install in /usr/local
[15:16] <tufftuff> why doesn't the link in the pulldown menu work??
[15:16] <jrib> tufftuff: because /usr/local/bin/firefox gets run
[15:17] <tufftuff> weird.
[15:17] <tufftuff> /usr/local takes precidence over /usr/bin?
[15:17] <jrib> tufftuff: /usr/local/bin/ does.  Look at your PATH
[15:17] <Saint`Dia> Ok, got a Logitech cam hooked to my ubuntu laptop, aMSN sees it, nothing else does...
[15:17] <v1s1t> jafet i need to know type
[15:17] <tufftuff> oh right
[15:17] <Jafet> Yes, it's, erm, local.
[15:17] <Saint`Dia> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc. QuickCam express Plus
[15:18] <Jafet> Your shell tries your PATH in order, so I assume changing the order sh searches would also work.
[15:18] <ForzaPalermo> anyone know how to get the mozilla mplayer plugin installed without instlaling firefox 3, i have already installed it manually?
[15:18] <zato1> i just upgraded my laptop from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. it's awesome.
[15:18] <tufftuff> sorry man, musta changed something one night when drunk.
[15:18] <tufftuff> and forgot
[15:18] <jrib> tufftuff: heh
[15:18] <fde> tufftuff: 'echo $PATH' to see order it looks in.
[15:18] <tufftuff> i think so, few months ago i was playing with ff3 beta...now that i think about it...
[15:19] <Jafet> ForzaPalermo, you mean in order to satisfy package dependencies?
[15:19] <taspy> bes aspo top sitewam speak
[15:19] <ForzaPalermo> Jafet, yeah it wants to install ff3
[15:19] <ForzaPalermo> but i dont need to
[15:19] <ForzaPalermo> i have it mannualy
[15:19] <ForzaPalermo> just need the plugin
[15:19] <ForzaPalermo> cant find it anywhere online

[15:19] <Nono1> 'Ata3 Soft Reset Failed (device not found)' On booting into Ubuntu from CDRom. Is this because my Optical drive is SATA maybe?
[15:19] <zato1> I could not isntall bitchx in 8.04, is this package not part of the standard software anymore?
[15:20] <fde> zato1: irssi is bitchx for adults
[15:20] <qos> hey guys... i have a ubuntu server and i want to login remotly via vnc. but everytime i start the server i have to connect a monitor to it to login first. then the vnc server gets started and i can remotly connect to it. is there a way to login gdm via ssh?
[15:20] <zato1> so is irc :)
[15:20] <Jafet> ForzaPalermo, well that's one problem with packaging. Anyway, you could hack the apt data files to work around this probably, though the probability that you'll break something later eventually tends to one.
[15:20] <Jafet> Why don't you just install 3b5 via apt?
[15:21] <Jafet> And move your old data files over.
[15:21] <sidelil> Is it possible to set a password on a tar archive?
[15:21] <jrib> sidelil: use gpg
[15:21] <ForzaPalermo> :(\
[15:21] <Jafet> It's straightforward enough; Firefox generally keeps all profile data in one directory.
[15:22] <tmba> hi, how do I start an x application through ssh?   I dont need X forwarding, just start the X application and let it open in the local X..
[15:22] <Jafet> Or one directory per user.

[15:24] <mr_boo> what is a "metamode"?
[15:24] <Nono1> I can't install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. It comes up with 'ATA3 SOFT RESET FAILED (DEVICE NOT FOUND)' Can anyone help with my problem please? When I try and install from windows instead, after install it says there is missing files and won't start either...

[15:28] <Jafet> The upside is that it teaches you a lot.

[15:29] <chrissy_> i sitll need to upgrade

[15:29] <dilson_> how to update db of the clamav
[15:29] <dilson_> my dist is Ubuntu hardy
[15:29] <fde> Jafet: Nah, its a lot of people... too many people rushed to upgrade to Hardy, and not enough beta tested prior to release, so you get these issues.
[15:30] <xpoint> dilson_, freshclam
[15:30] <Nono1> I can't install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. It comes up with 'ATA3 SOFT RESET FAILED (DEVICE NOT FOUND)' Can anyone help with my problem please? Perhaps it's because my optical drive is SATA? I don't know...
[15:30] <vallhalla81> can any one help me get dvd's working in ubuntu i have tryed  the gide on this page  http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html but get an eror at the terminal point
[15:30] <emma> I will beta-test for Ibex if that will be helpful. Probably not the best time for me to do that yet though.
[15:30] <Jafet> I also just remembered I need to download and burn a live CD because 6.10 doesn't have adequate reiserfs parted support.
[15:30] <chrissy_> i still need to update to hardy, but i may just wait til 8.10
[15:30] <jrib> vallhalla81: tell us the error and exactly what you typed
[15:30] <Dr_willis> vallhalla81,  i just follow the 2 command guide at --> http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands
[15:30] <BBishop> damn ..  a progress bar would be dead useful for the "rebuild database" waiting time
[15:31] <fde> Jafet: For what it's worth, Windows costs $200 and apparently SP3 is "zorking" most peoples machines... that's equivalent to 8.04.1, no drastic changes at all.
[15:31] <bazhang> chrissy_, you want to upgrade from gutsy or hardy
[15:31] <vallhalla81> Dr_willis: ok i will have a go thank you
[15:31] <L0r3> NEXT ON FOX: Whan Zorks Attack!
[15:31] <fde> chrissy_: as bazhang said, Hardy is LTS, so it's not a version to skip  ;)
[15:32] <chrissy_> im at gutsy now
[15:32] <bazhang> chrissy_, make that feisty or gutsy
[15:32] <Jafet> fde, Windows works for me ironically; I've used it eight years until now and I grok the Windows mindset quite well.
[15:32] <bazhang> L0r3, please dont
[15:32] <Jafet> It's also the more stable system on this laptop...
[15:32] <L0r3> Ah, too buisy of a chan?
[15:32] <mr_boo> is it common with crt monitors that can do 2048x1536 at 85Hz?
[15:32] <Jafet> No, too bureaucratic.
[15:32] <bazhang> L0r3, right thanks
[15:32] <fde> Jafet: That's the problem for most Windows converts, Linux isn't Windows.
[15:33] <L0r3> k, ty for letting me know.

[15:33] <Dr_willis> !find minicommander
[15:33] <Dr_willis> what the heck is mini commander?
[15:33] <bazhang> flotishtu, you got ports forwarded
[15:33] <fde> Jafet: Only thing that crashes here is Flash, and that's Adobe's fault, not Linux.
[15:34] <Jafet> fde, well, to me, Windows is just another system. Sure they could design it better, but every Linux distro is deficient in other ways.
[15:34] <bullgard4> Dr_willis: Please refrain from street language.

[15:34] <flotishtu> bazhang what do you mean?
[15:34] <bazhang> Nono1, this is the live cd or the alt cd
[15:34] <BBishop> any wai I could check if the rebuilding of the db is still working ? :|
[15:34] <chrissy_> fde, ive used windows the entirty of my life. Im still pretty new to ubuntu but for the most part i dont see why it would be that big of a transition for your average user
[15:35] <fde> Jafet: ime, the only ways Linux is deficient in general is that hardware manufacturers don't take it seriously enough _still_
[15:35] <bazhang> flotishtu, in regards to what please
[15:35] <BBishop> it seems like it stopped ( hdd led doesn't flicker anymore )
[15:35] <fde> chrissy_: see the last thing I said for exactly why  :)
[15:35] <xpoint> Nono1, this is problems with kernel 2.6.24 nor working on all controllers
[15:35] <Dr_willis> vallhalla81,  yea :)   not sure if thats the best way to do it. but it works.

[15:36] <flotishtu> bazhang you said i got ports forwarded. what do es it means
[15:36] <mr_boo> why are some modelines unavailable due to "fail to set metamode"?
[15:36] <Nono1> xpoint: thanks, is there a way I can fix this?
[15:36] <mr_boo> is it my graphics adapter that refuses?
[15:36] <chrissy_> sorry, really sleepy lol
[15:36] <xpoint> Nono1, try older ubuntu versions if you can find one kernel that works that way, then you know the problem
[15:36] <bazhang> flotishtu, you behind a router? you need to forward the ports then
[15:36] <modpr0be> hello guys, has anybody try SELinux on Hardy?
[15:37] <flotishtu> bazhang i have dsl. i have dsl router. but it only happens for torrents
[15:37] <xpoint> Nono1, i run 2.6.17 here, 2.6.24 get me lots of problems :/
[15:37] <bazhang> www.portforward.com flotishtu
[15:37] <European-African> I want to use my nvidia tv out, how do I do this?
[15:37] <mr_boo> what is a "metamode"?
[15:37] <Jafet> flotishtu, Google for port forwarding.
[15:37] <chrissy_> By the way, I supose idleing in this channel is okay right?
[15:37] <fde> chrissy_: idling is the IRC way
[15:37] <Jafet> bazhang had a good link. There is also a decent guide on the Azureus wiki, I think.
[15:38] <bazhang> chrissy_, aye and chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[15:38] <Nono1> xpoint: thanks, i'll try and find something like that and try it... Much appreciated.
[15:38] <chrissy_> kk thanks a bunch!
[15:38] <xpoint> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/228865 my bugs on it here
[15:38] <chunyu> Hi, can anyone tell me how to enable vm detect the usb device on host OS?
[15:38] <chunyu> my vm in winxp
[15:38] <chunyu> the host os is ubuntu 8.0.4
[15:38] <bazhang> Nono1, you can get into the boot menu and remove quiet and splash and see what the exact hang up is
[15:39] <Jafet> "8.04"
[15:39] <flotishtu> Jafet bazhang what does port forwarding go tto do with upload speed in ktorrent only?
[15:39] <bazhang> chunyu, what vm--vmware or vbox
[15:39] <chunyu> it's kvm
[15:39] <European-African> I want to use my nvidia tv out, how do I do this? PLZ HELP ME SOMEONE!
[15:39] <Jafet> flotishtu, port forwarding enables other peers to connect to you through a router which would normally block these open connection attempts for security reasons.
[15:39] <Dr_willis> !tvout | European-African
[15:39] <bazhang> flotishtu, you can set upload speed in ktorrent
[15:39] <NW2190> Hey, my computer spends forever "looking up" websites in firefox, but it is using the same DNS servers as my windows computer which is much faster.  Does anyone know what could cause that?
[15:40] <Jafet> flotishtu, there are numerous more detailed explanations out there; read one of them.
[15:40] <European-African> ok thnax
[15:40] <Dr_willis> European-African,  i just use the twinview feature, and install the 2 nvidia config tools to enavble  the tv to be a 2nd monitor. normally
[15:40] <Dr_willis> European-African,  if you are JUST using the tv out. On some of my nvidia machines. I can just have ONLY the tv hooked up at boot time, and it will become the default. without any tweaking.
[15:40] <European-African> Dr_willis: where is the twinview?
[15:40] <flotishtu> bazhang Jafet well, yes. but if i can download torrents. that means users can connect and the ports are forwarded. now why i see more upload speed. than donwload?
[15:41] <Dr_willis> European-African,  twinview is a feature of the nvidia drivers that handles the multi-monitor stuff.
[15:41] <Nono1> xpoint/bazhang: thanks for the help, i'll leave now and try some different things, thanks again.
[15:41] <bazhang> flotishtu, not enough seeders most likely
[15:41] <Dr_willis> European-African,  its not a program.
[15:41] <modpr0be> flotishtu: looks like the seeder is low
[15:41] <European-African> how do i use it
[15:41] <Jafet> flotishtu, no, you also connect to other peers which means you get some traffic.
[15:41] <Dr_willis> !twinview | European-African
[15:41] <Dr_willis> European-African,  i install the 2 extra nvidia config tools in the package manager, to tweak the settings.
[15:41] <flotishtu> modpr0be bazhang Jafet so it gathers seeders. but its uplaod is too much. is that all for seeking seeders?
[15:41] <Gpalco> People, GKSU starts only if I click an App TWICE! Has ANYONE experianced it on Hardy ???
[15:42] <European-African> ok thanx
[15:42] <Jafet> flotishtu, port forwarding isn't about download or upload speeds.
[15:42] <bazhang> flotishtu, throttle the upload speed in ktorrent settings nothing to do with dl speed
[15:42] <European-African> I will try now
[15:42] <Liet> hi
[15:43] <Liet> I can't send anything to trash in my partitions
[15:43] <flotishtu> modpr0be bazhang Jafet ok
[15:43] <bazhang> Gpalco, that is the default iirc
[15:43] <Jafet> gpalco, what happens when you gksu from the command line?
[15:43] <Liet> I've tried adding .Trash-1000 & .Trash-liet, but it doesn't solve the problem
[15:43] <Liet> Is there any solution for this?
[15:43] <Gpalco> Jafet, it doesn't start at all.
[15:44] <Jafet> gpalco, well, erm, as in gksu some-command
[15:44] <Liet> does anyone know how to fix the trash problem?
[15:45] <Gpalco> Jafet, for example if I press install updates button in Update manager it just hangs waiting for GKSU to start, but it doesn't. Other apps I start twice
[15:45] <bazhang> !trash
[15:45] <bullgard4> How to install Mini-Commander?
[15:45] <Fritzel> is there a command like lsof that works for audio so I can see what's holding up my sound card?
[15:45] <Liet> yes, ubottu, I know, but waht about my partition?
[15:45] <Jafet> gpalco, okay, try that for an example: gksu update-manager
[15:46] <Fritzel> or another question if my sound card is 0,0 whats the path to it in /dev?
[15:46] <Jafet> !ubottu
[15:46] <Fritzel> alsa
[15:46] <Jafet> Cheap supybots with attitude.
[15:46]  * Fritzel comforts Liet, "I did the same thing"
[15:46] <Liet> I have no problems with my root partition, the prblem is with others
[15:46] <bazhang> Jafet, please stay on topic
[15:46] <bullgard4> Fritzel: lsof is not confined to non-audio files.
[15:46] <saylar> hey guys
[15:47] <clint101> is bazhag here?
[15:47] <Fritzel> bullgard4, well I could chekc the device except I don't know where to find alsa 0,0 in /dev
[15:47] <Gpalco> Jafet, that's what I do. I kill the hanging Update manager and then start it twice again. Then it work. Anyone reported anyhing like that here? It there a fix?
[15:47] <saylar> i was wondering if any of you knows how to get rid of this error while compiling proftpd.
[15:47] <IceTox> say guys, anyone knows why I can't find xmms anywhere on either apt or synaptic?
[15:47] <saylar> cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double"
[15:48] <bazhang> IceTox, audacious is its successor
[15:48] <IceTox> bazhang, so ubuntu decided to remove xmms as audacious was a better choice?
[15:48] <bazhang> xmms is deprecated IceTox
[15:48] <clint101> hey, bazhang
[15:48] <Fritzel> bullgard4, nevermind I think I found it flash is being mean ><
[15:48] <bazhang> hi clint101
[15:48] <clint101> hi.
[15:49] <hydrogen> IceTox: yes
[15:49] <hydrogen> IceTox: mostly because xmms is dead
[15:49] <IceTox> bazhang, I love xmms, but I'll give audacious a shot :-)
[15:49] <IceTox> hydrogen, that is sad news
[15:49] <bazhang> IceTox, there is xmms2 if you must
[15:49] <clint101> bazhang - quick question ... do you remeber talking to me about removing the CD software source last nite (I know you talk to a lot of people)
[15:49] <hydrogen> IceTox: from what I've heard, audacious seeks to be a replacement for xmms
[15:49] <hydrogen> but using gtk2
[15:49] <bazhang> clint101, sure
[15:50] <hydrogen> xmms2 is nothing like xmms
[15:50] <sirleon> why not using exaile? =)
[15:50] <bazhang> !players
[15:50] <hydrogen> because exaile is nothing like xmms
[15:50] <clint101> it worked great; my question is ... if I didn't find you on IRC, how eelse would I have found info on that topic (remove CD software sources)
[15:50] <rabidweezle> xmms can be compiled ^_^ there's a howto on the wiki or forums one
[15:50] <clint101> ?
[15:50] <Fritzel> is there anyway to kill npviewer.bin <defunct> if it's not responding to kill -9 without Sysrq-k or rebooting?
[15:50] <bazhang> clint101, likely reading ubuntuforums ;]
[15:50] <IceTox> bazhang and hydrogen. Xmms was quite plain. I like that, but sometimes we just need to follow the streams of changes :) Thank you for you help.
[15:51] <rabidweezle> I compiled it myself and xmms works great
[15:51] <hydrogen> IceTox: yea, audacious sounds like what you want then :)
[15:51] <smallfoot-> xmms is so legacy
[15:51] <hydrogen> It's very much a modern up to date xmms
[15:51] <smallfoot-> itsl gtk1
[15:51] <sirleon> !help
[15:51] <rabidweezle> it's "legacy" but it does it's job very well
[15:51] <smallfoot-> but gtk1 looks too ugly
[15:51] <Gpalco> Jafet, how can I add apps on the list to be started automatically on system boot. I need to add AWN, pls
[15:52] <mr_boo> does anyone know what a graphics "metamode" is?
[15:52]  * BBishop loves xmms
[15:52] <mnemo> audacious was forked from beep which was forked from xmms so basically audacious is a bugfixed xmms of sorts
[15:52] <bazhang> mr_boo, modeline?
[15:52] <clint101> bazhang - also, what IRC client do you use and do you attribute it to your ability to have so many IRC conversations at once?
[15:52] <IceTox> hydrogen, well, for a start off, at least audacious has their main player and their playlist at the same width :P Good one =)
[15:52] <mr_boo> bazhang: i know what a modeline is
[15:52] <bazhang> clint101, xchat is the choice of many
[15:52] <mr_boo> bazhang: there is a thing called "metamode" as well
[15:52] <bazhang> mr_boo, not sure there
[15:53] <Fish-Face> Hi all, I'm unable to browse windows workgroups. I open smb:/// and then smb://workgroup/, and nowt shows up
[15:53] <Jafet> Gpalco, System > Prefs > Sessions, probably.
[15:53] <sirleon> Gpalco: System/settings/sessions?
[15:53] <Gpalco> Jafet, thank you
[15:53] <sirleon> lol :D
[15:53] <u007> 1 thing i hate about xwindows is that , when an application hang due to io or network error, the whole xwindow freezes even thou those other application is still running! how the hell could i terminate the application? talk about stability.. xwindow still sux big time
[15:53] <haggis> Fritzel: hmm, I remember (from an OS course at the university) there being some other way of getting rid of zombie processes, but can't recall how :(
[15:53] <clint101> bazhang ... thank you ... out
[15:53] <jatt> xkill
[15:53] <Fish-Face> If I "smbclient -L IP" where IP is some correct IP, I get the list
[15:54] <bazhang> bye ;]
[15:54] <wgrant> u007: What? No. OTher clients continue to run fine.
[15:54] <IceTox> hydrogen, yah, I see that.. :-) Just have to skin it up a little to fit my desktop and it'll be a success :)
[15:54] <harris> hello guys, who are using Netbeans here?
[15:54] <Fritzel> haggis -nod- is that what it's called a zombie process? that gives me something to work with at least
[15:54] <kripz> im trying to configure my graphics card and everytime i reboot it pops up with a black screen asking to configure my video card? i do so and after i restart it pops up again?
[15:55] <AmpersUK> Before I go out and buy... anyone here used a Palm TX syncing with Evolution?
[15:55] <haggis> Fritzel: yep
[15:55] <negge> kripz do you use the propriatery drivers?
[15:55] <ouellettesr> kripz what type video card do you have?
[15:55] <u007> wgrant - i encounter few times when the dvd hang... i cannot even press anything on the keyboard, but the other animated things on the background is running , plus my mouse is movable, but unclickable... all the keystroke seems to wait for this dvd player to resume before it can take those keystrokes.. that really sux, especially u can even ctl+alt+backspace to terminate xwindows..
[15:55] <kripz> neege, ouellettesr , intel drivers
[15:55] <wgrant> u007: That sounds like a bug in the application which has frozen.
[15:55] <Gpalco> sirleon, thank you too
[15:55] <u007> i meant can't
[15:55] <ouellettesr> kripz, its in intel card?
[15:56] <negge> aah you got an intregrated graphics cared
[15:56] <kripz> ouellettesr, onboard
[15:56] <IceTox> bazhang and hydrogen, for the record, I think audacious has better sound than xmms. :-)
[15:56] <ouellettesr> ahh
[15:56] <wgrant> u007: In that case, Alt+F2, run xkill, and click on the frozen window, and all should be good.
[15:56] <hocmin> I'm trying to try out gdesklets for the first time.  I've installed it, but running it gives me "Could not import tiling module!".  Does anyone know why?
[15:56] <wgrant> u007: But it's a bug in that application.
[15:56] <ouellettesr> kripz did you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[15:56] <u007> wgrant - it also happen to amsn, when it froze due to network internet connectivity down, it frozen the whole xwindows from keystrokes or mouse click
[15:56] <bazhang> hocmin, with compiz?
[15:56] <Fritzel> ok it says I need to kill the parent process, how do I find that out?
[15:57] <wgrant> u007: That's certainly not normal.
[15:57] <kripz> ouellettesr, no, if i so do it does not configure it, it restes my config and replaces it with this: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4
[15:57] <u007> wgrant - none of the keystoke works if it hang, i've to do hard reset
[15:57] <Fritzel> nevermind it's flash duh, its probably firefox
[15:57] <hocmin> bazhang, I'm not sure.  Compiz sounds like something I've heard before, but I'm not sure what it is
[15:57] <mr_boo> are there higher standardized resolutions than 2048x1536?
[15:57] <bazhang> hocmin, it is the wobbly windows one ;]
[15:57] <wgrant> u007: OK, that is definitely a bug in something Xish, probably a proprietary video driver.
[15:57] <negge> mr_boo there's 2560x1600
[15:58] <wgrant> I've never seen such a thing.
[15:58] <wgrant> u007: Do you use Compiz?
[15:58] <Fritzel> yay sound is restored thanks for the help haggis
[15:58] <mr_boo> why are people happy with low resolutions these days
[15:58] <hocmin> bazhang, I think I played with compiz before, but I don't *think* I'm using it now.  If you can tell me a way to check I'll do so
[15:58] <negge> mr_boo 2048x1536 isn't exactly low
[15:58] <u007> video driver? its not video driver cox the other application is still animating.. but keystoke and mouse click halt, like went into que, waiting to be flushed once the hang application resume..
[15:58] <oliver> Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive.  The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes?
[15:58] <mr_boo> i'd rather have one big high res monitor than two small
[15:58] <harris> Hello Guys I just installed the NetBeans in my system. How can I run it?
[15:58] <u007> wgrant - yeah.. compiz came default with ubuntu 8
[15:58] <bullgard4> How to install Mini-Commander?
[15:58] <bazhang> hocmin, if you use compiz you might consider screenlets, the next evolution from gdesklets imo
[15:58] <ouellettesr> krpiz, which driver did you select when you ran dpkg-reconfigure?
[15:59] <wgrant> u007: Ah. Application bug, then. Also, it's Ubuntu 8.04. Not Ubuntu 8.
[15:59] <mr_boo> it isn't the mid nineties anymore where 800x600 was considered "high resolution"
[15:59] <hocmin> bazhang, ok, so then what you're telling me (but thank you for the suggestion), is that you don't know what my problem is
[15:59] <platinum> lol
[15:59] <kripz> ouellettesr, i didnt run dpk-reconfigure, if i do so, it doesnt even ask me for drivers
[15:59] <u007> wgrant - yeah.. could it be compiz ?
[15:59] <negge> mr_boo what are you talking about? no one has said 800x600 is high res and no sane person uses anything less than 1280x1024
[15:59] <wgrant> u007: Unlikely, given that video output continues to function.
[15:59] <kripz> ouellettesr, this is my current config: http://pastebin.com/mb8339a5, if i run dpk-reconfigure, it will replace it with this: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4
[15:59] <mr_boo> negge: the 1280x1024 is a really popular res
[15:59] <bazhang> hocmin, not at all; please clarify when this happens (more details always help)
[16:00] <u007> wgrant - then its xwindow
[16:00] <oliver> Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive.  The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes?
[16:00] <platinum> what 320x200 is out
[16:00] <mr_boo> negge: it's one of the few that is not 4/3 but just nearly
[16:00] <mr_boo> 320x200 is nostalgy to me
[16:00] <wgrant> u007: Why?
[16:00] <wgrant> u007: What about the applications?
[16:00] <u007> wgrant - when it happen, ctl+alt+backspace nor ctl+alt+f1 work
[16:00] <hocmin> bazhang: it's pretty simple and short.  I ran gdesklets from the menu, "Gdesklets Shell" window came up with nothing in it (no menus, no widgets in the window).  Eventually the window disappeared
[16:00] <bazhang> mr_boo, please stay on topic thanks
[16:00] <kripz> 320x200 is my mobile -.-
[16:01] <bazhang> hocmin, you loaded some widgets or not
[16:01] <kripz> phone
[16:01] <ouellettesr> kripz do you have two video cards installed?
[16:01] <wgrant> u007: Ah, that detail was not revealed earlier.
[16:01] <u007> wgrant - yes, the application could hang if network or io problem, but how can xwindow allow 1 application event to halt the entire xwindow?
[16:01] <ralze> i'm looking for some VMs. Does anyone know a free VM with a coherence mode like parallels'?
[16:01] <kripz> ouellettesr,  just the one
[16:01] <mr_boo> bazhang: sorry
[16:01] <hocmin> bazhang, so I tried to run gdesklets from a terminal, got an error "Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout!" and to check the log file
[16:01] <haggis> Fritzel: for future reference, getting process list with parent process id can be done using:  ps axo ppid,pid,command | grep defunct
[16:01] <kripz> ouellettesr, onboard intel 945GM
[16:01] <wgrant> u007: By a bug in X which I have never seen before.
[16:01] <hocmin> bazhang, no, I haven't.  I don't have any interface to do so
[16:01] <ouellettesr> kripz two monitors hooked up to one maybe?
[16:01] <wgrant> u007: What kind of video card do you have?
[16:01] <haggis> Frizel: just look up the parent process id (ppid) for the process and kill it
[16:01] <oliver> Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive.  The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes?
[16:01] <bazhang> hocmin, what widgets you got
[16:01] <hocmin> bazhang, then I checked the log file and I saw that tile error in the log file
[16:01] <kripz> ouellettesr, no just the 1 lcd monitor (its a laptop), there is a tv out though
[16:02] <harris> who are using Netbeans here.?
[16:02] <hocmin> I've downloaded a simple one, the calendar, just to try it out, but like I said, there's no window for me select install from
[16:02] <harris> who are using Netbeans here.?
[16:02] <bazhang> hocmin, this is from repos?
[16:02] <ouellettesr> kripz i have had that chipset once, everything worked fine so the chipset is not the problem :)
[16:02] <hocmin> bazhang, yes
