[13:47] <ikonia> fsufitch: do you get an error/complaint about hostname
[13:47] <soundray> *arranged
[13:47] <tim167> i installed ubuntu on ausb stick, it boots, but after the login window i get a blank screen with a mouse cursor only, how can i fix this ?
[13:47] <kwagga> faceface: have a look on the card... any names? model? if not type in a teminal: ifconfig... and give me the mac address.
[13:47] <fsufitch> ikonia: yes
[13:47] <ikonia> fsufitch: you need to boot into a recovery shell and add your hostname to /etc/hosts to map to a localhost ip address (eg: <IP_ADDRESS>)
[13:47] <Chapai> tim167, does it loop
[13:48] <fsufitch> ikonia: lol, so my computer forgot itself?
[13:48] <tim167> Chapai: what do you mean exaclty by loop? how do i check that ?
[13:48] <aohan237> ok   then  i  try it .... I thought that someone's help can be more useful  than that  i  study it by myself........
[13:48] <ikonia> fsufitch: no, it's a bug with the setup in certain situations
[13:48] <faceface> kwagga, HWaddr 00:0C:F1:04:40:67
[13:48] <fsufitch> ikonia: ok
[13:49] <soundray> !elaborate | aohan237
[13:49] <tim167> Chapai: the mousecursor is just the arrow, the blank screen is the ubuntu light-brown background
[13:49] <Chapai> i was wondering if it was the same problem as mine, it goes from blackscreen mouse pointer and black screen and over and over so far no fix tim167
[13:49] <user___> gidna: ubuntu 8.04?
[13:49] <datatec> does anyone know how to fix ruby gems after the OpenSSL patch that appears to have broken gems last week?
[13:49] <freeman> I want to find a girlfriend!
[13:49] <kwagga> tim167... reconfigure the xserver
[13:49] <ikonia> datatec: define broken
[13:49] <ikonia> freeman: that is not for this channel
[13:49] <fsufitch> ikonia: my hosts file has these entries rite now: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[13:49] <fsufitch> <IP_ADDRESS> Mercury.Mercury
[13:49] <ikonia> freeman: you've been asked twice to stop messing around
[13:49] <faceface> !girlfriend | freeman
[13:49] <kwagga> faceface: standby
[13:49] <tim167> kwagga, is that the dpkg-reconfigure thing ?
[13:50] <fsufitch> my computer's hostname _is_ mercury
[13:50] <ikonia> fsufitch: change mercury.mercury, to mercury
[13:50] <fsufitch> ikonia: ok
[13:50] <kwagga> tim: yes
[13:50] <ikonia> fsufitch: it has a bad domain extension
[13:51] <datatec> ikonia: every time you try to check for updates or communicate with gems it gives you the error "uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)"
[13:51] <tim167> kwagga, strange, that only asks me about the keyboard, nothing about screen settings...
[13:51]  * faceface stands by
[13:51] <fevet1> what channel for irc help ?
[13:51] <ikonia> datatec: I'm not massivly aware on gems, give me a minute to have a quick read
[13:51] <fsufitch> ikonia: works now, thanks :)
[13:51] <ikonia> fsufitch: no problem
[13:51] <faceface> fevet1, try #freenode
[13:52] <Starnestommy> fevet1: #freenode or your client's help channel
[13:52] <datatec> sure ikonia, thanks
[13:52] <wers> is ubuntu-restricted-extras all that I have to install for me to play dvds?
[13:52] <ikonia> wers: no
[13:52] <soundray> !dvd | wers
[13:52] <tim167> how come if i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it only sets keyboard settings and does nothing about the screen ?
[13:53] <kwagga> tim: I'm not sure of the exact command to reconfig the xerver... either wait for a answer... or try googling it... sorry mate... will have a look for you in a sec
[13:53] <fevet1> faceface: ta :)
[13:53] <fsufitch> ikonia: i actually have another problem; everything's lagging like heck. I don't know if this is because of some new service or something, but for example, my compiz cube flip runs through just 2 frames of the animation instead of being smooth as it was in gutsy. i disabled the file indexing (i don't need that!) but are there any other new possible memory hogs?
[13:53] <ikonia> tim167: xorg is dynamic now
[13:53] <dgts123> i'm trying to set up a samba server using swat. the webinterface on http://localhost:901 is only showing my a few menu items after i login with the standard user account that ubuntu created. how can i get access to all menu items?
[13:53] <tim167> ikonia, so how do i make it do the screen settings ?
[13:53] <kwagga> faceface: pastebin the output from ifconfig for me please..... go to www.pastebin.com... and gimme the link
[13:53] <ikonia> fsufitch: its it just graphical stuff, or the whole machine in general
[13:53] <ikonia> tim167: edit your xorg
[13:53] <tom__> Hi!  Anyone here familiar with any kind of problems with fglrx and AMD64 (4gb of ram) ?
[13:54] <ikonia> tim167: your xorg.conf sorry
[13:54] <tim167> ikonia: manually ?
[13:54] <faceface> ok kwagga ... just swpping terminls
[13:54] <ikonia> tom__: why don't you just tell us YOUR problem
[13:54] <ikonia> tom__: other peoples problems are of no interest to you
[13:54] <faceface> the eh button is broken on this mchine
[13:54] <crille> Hello, I have done "sudo apt-get install eterm" but when its done and I type eterm, I get "command not found"  how do I start it?
[13:54] <ikonia> tim167: depends, what are you trying to do
[13:54] <fsufitch> ikonia: well i would understand that if it didn't work before, on gutsy, but before the upgrade it worked fine and smoothly
[13:54] <dgts123> crille, it's an uppercase E :)
[13:54] <Starnestommy> crille: I think it's Eterm
[13:54] <crille> 0.o
[13:54] <dgts123> been in that trap as well
[13:54] <dgts123> very upsetting..
[13:54] <crille> maan,  Im so stupid
[13:55] <tim167> ikonia, my problem is that the desktop wont load, i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor, though i'm not sure it is xserver related
[13:55] <magnus_> how do i disable the irrelevant information messages in irssi ?
[13:55] <tom__> ikonia, Becuase I'm having a very regular problem (apparently) with fglrx.. I'm running an AMD64 bit board w/ 4gb of ram, and I'm thinking fglrx is causing kernel panics.. and I was hoping someone in here was familiar with the issue.
[13:55] <ikonia> tim167: what does the log file say
[13:55] <dgts123> crille, i think it's their fault to break the convention
[13:55] <crille> I just thought that because the package was called eterm.*.*.*, the command was the same
[13:55] <Starnestommy> magnus_: as in join, part, quit, and nick messages?
[13:55] <ikonia> fsufitch: is it just the graphcis that are slow though, or the whole machine
[13:55] <magnus_> Starnestommy: exactly :)
[13:55] <tim167> ikonia:sorry for my ignorance, but where is that again ?
[13:55] <Starnestommy> magnus_: /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits nicks
[13:55] <ikonia> tom__: so thats the question not "anyone have any problems with fglrx"
[13:55] <fsufitch> ikonia: whole machine. earlier it took me about 20 secs to open an xterm!
[13:56] <ikonia> tim167: /var/log/
[13:56] <ikonia> fsufitch: thats graphical
[13:56] <magnus_> Starnestommy: THanks!! :)
[13:56] <tom__> ikonia, Well, it's mor euseful to find someone who has been through the same kind of issue.. you're no good to me if you know absolutely nothing about fglrx and 64-bit kernel panics :-)
[13:56] <ikonia> fsufitch: try logging into it remotly with ssh - see how it responds
[13:56] <gidna> user___: yes it Does that only if I'm already playing a flash video
[13:56] <tim167> ikonia: nano /var/log is empty
[13:56] <ikonia> tom__: do you know anything about it ?
[13:56] <fsufitch> ikonia: my machine? allrite
[13:56] <ikonia> tim167: the whole directory is empty
[13:56] <ikonia> fsufitch: thats a big help, just to see how it responds
[13:57] <tom__> ikonia, Apparently not, as I'm baffled.  Hint: That's why I asked "if anyone was familiar with fglrx and 64-bit .. with some kernel panic splashed in"
[13:57] <Starnestommy> magnus_: just be careful with that.  If someone that you were talking to left or change nicks, you'll get confused and may make an embarassing mistake
[13:57] <Ontolog> Ubuntu 8.04 desktop install hangs after "Loading Kernel" reaches 100%. The CD is constantly being read but nothing else is happening, it just reads the CD indefinitely.
[13:57] <Ontolog> Has anyone encountered this issue?
[13:57] <dgts123> anyone know how to set up a samba server with swat on hardy server?
[13:57] <tim167> ikonia: is it dmesg ?
[13:57] <Dummy-> how do i change static ip on kubuntu ?
[13:57] <kwagga> soundfray: http://pastebin.com/d34f207cf :: Help please buddy!
[13:57] <user___> gidna: is the flash video finished but still "visible" (the end f.e. on youtube where you can replay or choose a similar video)?
[13:57] <ikonia> dgts123: install swat, edit the xinetd.conf and browse with a webserver
[13:57] <frank_> how can i check what version of my graphic driver i am using?
[13:57] <ikonia> tim167: no -
[13:57] <ikonia> tim167: I just asked a question to you - is the whole of /var/log empty
[13:58] <tim167> ikonia: no
[13:58] <fsufitch> ikonia: it acts fine... maybe it's the new gnome?
[13:58] <ikonia> tim167: right - so what is empty when you say "it's empty"
[13:58] <askand> It seems that root doesnt use the murrinetheme I have chosen, how can I fix that?
[13:58] <ikonia> fsufitch: be with you in one second
[13:58] <fsufitch> ikonia: allrite
[13:58] <ikonia> askand: you shouldn't be looking in as root
[13:58] <Dummy-> how do i change static ip on kubuntu ?
[13:58] <dgts123> ikonia, i did, my problem is that i don't get to see all the menu items ("shares" for example) when i login from another machine's browser with the standard ubuntu account
[13:58] <tim167> ikonia: i did 'nano /var/log' but that should be 'nano /var/log/dmesg', right ?
[13:58] <soundray> kwagga: I'll have a better chance of seeing your lines if you spell my nick correctly
[13:58] <ikonia> Dummy-: does your ISP give you a static ip
[13:58] <ikonia> tim167: no
[13:58] <ikonia> tim167: /var/log is a directoy that contains the files
[13:58] <kwagga> sorry soundray...
[13:59] <ikonia> tim167: look in /var/log
[13:59] <askand> ikonia: Im not, its just that every application I run with rootprivilegies is ugly as hell..
[13:59] <tim167> ikonia: yes, looking at it now, what should i see ?
[13:59] <kwagga> multitasking :P @ soundray
[13:59] <user___> soundray: you might tell people about tab completion that would solve the issue permanently..
[13:59] <ikonia> tim167: can you see the xorg log
[13:59] <kwagga> faceface: Got that output yet?
[13:59] <Janimaku> hi there - i have a consmetic problem with pulseaudio: I want to load a module wich accesses /dev/input/event1 (keyboard) but I can't run pulseaudio in root privliges which I would need if I directly use this "file-stream" -- any possible solution to that problem?
[13:59] <tim167> ikonia: yes
[13:59] <ikonia> tim167: so.......
[14:00] <gidna> user___ : also if I stop the flash video file go slowly the other video
[14:00] <soundray> kwagga: fdisk does not see a partition table on your /dev/sdc (and it's /dev/sdc not /dev/scd -- it does matter!)
[14:01] <ikonia> fsufitch: ok, so there are a few compiz plugins which can cause issues in certain senarios
[14:01] <soundray> kwagga: that means it doesn't have any partitioning.
[14:01] <ikonia> fsufitch: what video card are you using, what drivers,
[14:01] <magnus_> anyone know if you can put the readahead list files on a flash drive?
[14:01] <user___> gidna: ok, while you have the flash plugin running it consumes memory and cpu resources - even of the movie is stopped. either you have not enough ram or slow processor or there is conflict between flash and movie player accessing sound card at the same time
[14:01] <askand> ikonia: here is an example http://www.imagebam.com/image/64f0786408501
[14:01] <kwagga> soundray... what can I do to correct this? without loosing the data?
[14:01] <soundray> kwagga: it may still hold an NTFS filesystem, but I don't know anything about devices that are formatted like that, so I can't advise any further.
[14:01] <ikonia> magnus_: in theory - I wouldn't suggest it
[14:01] <magnus_> ikonia: ok..
[14:01] <fsufitch> ikonia: hang on leme get the info
[14:02] <gidna> with ubuntut 7.10 i hadn't this problem..
[14:02] <ikonia> askand: why have you shown me that ?
[14:02] <soundray> kwagga: I guess your best chance is to transfer the drive to a Windows system and see if you can read the data from there
[14:02] <kwagga> soundray... thanks anyway! much appreciated!
[14:02] <kwagga> thanks!
[14:02] <tim167> ikonia: ok but i'm not sure what to look for in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, i see it loaded "nv" module...
[14:02] <drash> gidna: try the flash player 10 beta, it has some bugs related to what you're describing fixed
[14:02] <Dummy-> ikonia, no ... my router dhcp off
[14:02] <ikonia> tim167: your using the nv module, do you have an nvidia video card ?
[14:02] <askand> ikonia: Because that is the problem I have and wrote about when you told me not to login as root, I am not logging in as root but any apps I start as root looks like that and I want to change that.
[14:02] <Dummy-> ikonia, so i need set static ip
[14:03] <zoddan> anyone in here that has successfully installed vmware-server?,  im running ubuntu-server and i get this error message when it tryes to build the vmmon module: http://lurix.net/vmware.txt
[14:03] <ikonia> Dummy-: so what do you want a static internet ip - or a static internal ip for your network
[14:03] <fsufitch> ikonia: it's an nvidia geforce FX 5200
[14:03] <mumu> what command can i use to list the size of files and folders, ls -al doesnt show that?
[14:03] <fsufitch> and i'm using the proprietary driver
[14:03] <Dummy-> ikonia, internal ip not internet
[14:03] <tim167> ikonia: yes
[14:03] <soundray> mumu: du
[14:03] <Starnestommy> mumu: du -h
[14:03] <ikonia> Dummy-: ok, so open system --> administration --> network and assign one
[14:03] <ikonia> tim167: and you just get a blank screen
[14:04] <ikonia> fsufitch: do you have ccsm installed ?
[14:04] <fsufitch> ikonia: what is ccsm? i'm guessing "no"?
[14:04] <soundray> mumu: or Applications-Accessories-Disk Usage Analyzer
[14:04] <ikonia> fsufitch: no problem
[14:04] <tim167> ikonia: yes, but *with* a mouse cursor and a light brown background, not the black terminal
[14:04] <fsufitch> ikonia: compiz settings manager? yes i do
[14:04] <ikonia> fsufitch: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
[14:05] <ikonia> tim167: Hmmm thats odd
[14:05] <fsufitch> ikonia: it's an essential part of your good compiz breakfast :) i don't know how people survive w/o it
[14:05] <ikonia> fsufitch: mega, ok, can you fire it up please
[14:06] <tim167> ikonia: indeed, it doesnt look like a xorg problem to me...i think its rather just that it stops loading the desktop environment for some reason
[14:06] <dxdemetriou> after the latest updates on 8.04 when I try to write dvd dual layer it fails. I tried k3b and everything don't work, the files seems on the disk but I can't touch them. I tried also nero, it writes the dvd but on verify it stuck on 50%. I'm trying to add one file ~5GB

[14:07] <fsufitch> ikonia: i'm getting a gconf error on my scale plugin
[14:07] <fsufitch> GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly.

[14:08] <Ardorin> I'm trying to save some files from a windows hard drive usgin a linux system recovery cd. The problem is that the french files with accent marks aren'r displayed.

[14:09] <Dummy-> ikonia, i cant get any administrator menu , i using kubuntu
[14:09] <ikonia> Dummy-: ?
[14:09] <Dummy-> ikonia, i dont know why ...
[14:09] <ikonia> Dummy-: have I missed part of the converation ?
[14:10] <ikonia> Dummy-: is there a reason your asking me ? or are you just asking randomly ?
[14:10] <Dummy-> ikonia, u din miss any part
[14:10] <Dummy-> ikonia, just now u tell me go administrator then network change the ip but i cant get any administrator in the menu
[14:10] <ikonia> ooh
[14:10] <soundray> Ardorin: you need to set the nls= mount option. How are you mounting the drive?
[14:11] <ikonia> Dummy-: look in your /etc/host file - is your machine host name in there ?
[14:11] <soundray> Ardorin: are you using the 'mount' command?
[14:11] <fsufitch> ikonia: allrite, got the defaults
[14:11] <Ardorin> soundray, I'm using ntfs-3g and using -0 utf8 switch.
[14:11] <ikonia> fsufitch: ok, restart X and lets see how it's working
[14:12] <fsufitch> ikonia: hey-o it doesn't lag!
[14:12] <Dummy-> ikonia,  i linux beginner , how to look ?
[14:12] <soundray> Ardorin: -0 is wrong, it should be -o
[14:12] <ikonia> Dummy-: open the file /etc/hosts in a text editor
[14:12] <ikonia> fsufitch: thought as much
[14:12] <ikonia> fsufitch: some plugins can be a pain
[14:12] <fsufitch> ikonia: so i'll just enable plugins one by one and avoid the laggy ones
[14:12] <ikonia> fsufitch: enable them one at a time until you find the one thats being a pain for you
[14:12] <Ardorin> soundray, Yeah, it was a typo. I did it right on the console.
[14:12] <blame> how do i delete all files without dirs in a folder tree and leave one certain extension of the files intact ?
[14:13] <tim167> does anyone know how to fix this ?: i get a blank screen after the login window, light-brown screen with the normal arrow mouse cursor... thanks
[14:14] <ikonia> blame: what extension
[14:14] <soundray> Ardorin: utf8 may or may not be good, but you have to set nls=utf8 as well (or whatever charset was used by Windows -- iso8859-15 perhaps?)
[14:14] <ikonia> blame: rm -rf `ls | grep -v grep | grep -v .keep`
[14:14] <ikonia> blame: that removes everyting but .keep files
[14:14] <Steve-cal> I'm trying to troubleshoot some sound problems, and I'm wondering what are the "mixer" packages for exactly in relation to using ALSA? e.g. alsamixer, qamixer, etc.
[14:15] <soundray> ikonia: what's the grep -v grep for?
[14:15] <Dummy-> ikonia, wat the command ?
[14:15] <blame> ikonia: multiple files and file extensions I'd like to delete all files but files with extensions *.doc
[14:15] <ikonia> soundray: a typo as it wasn't ps ;)
[14:15] <ikonia> blame: ok so rm -rf `ls | grep -v .doc`
[14:15] <facefaceface> sorry to come and go
[14:16] <Ardorin> soundray, That nls= thing on the mounting options?
[14:16] <ikonia> Dummy-: open it with any text editor you want/like
[14:16] <the9a3eedi> help. I'm about to install ubuntu 8.04, but I'm concerned about the fact that it's not detecting my nvidia card, so it doesn't think it should install restricted drivers. This wasn't the case with 7.10. I got an nvidia 8600m GT
[14:16] <soundray> Ardorin: yes
[14:16] <Dummy-> ikonia, wait i try

[14:16] <EshiKaio> how could I downgrade the libgtk2.0?
[14:17] <tim167> i get a blank screen after logging in, light brown background with mouse cursor, any ideas please ?
[14:17] <ikonia> EshiKaio: how did you upgrade it in the first place ?
[14:17] <EshiKaio> ikonia, I should be using apt-get
[14:17] <blame> thanks ikoniaI I had been confusing myself with "find" and "xargs" and all that
[14:17] <ikonia> EshiKaio: no, how did you install upgrade it in the first place
[14:17] <EshiKaio> ikonia, but dont know which repo
[14:18] <EshiKaio> apt-get update; apt-get upgrade?
[14:18] <ikonia> blame: find and xargs would be an acceptable way of doing it too
[14:18] <fsufitch> ikonia: thx, it works now :)
[14:18] <thehurley> aptitude
[14:18] <ikonia> fsufitch: no problem

[14:18] <drash> Steven_Office: yes, just asking what your sound problem is ...
[14:18] <soundray> blame: in fact, I would recommend doing it with find and xargs if any of your filenames contain odd characters, such as spaces.
[14:19] <Starnestommy> newbie: it's this server
[14:19] <ikonia> newbie: freenode
[14:19] <Starnestommy> newbie: you also need to be registered in order to join that channel
[14:19] <bullgard1> My dmesg includes 2 'quirks' (lines 109 and 110 in http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216986/). Is a PCI quirk a minor error or has Ubuntu removed a minor PCI error?
[14:19] <blame> but wait ikonia I think this syntax wipes out directories as well I wanted to use recurse and delete all files without the folders as well as the excluded *.doc extension
[14:19] <ikonia> bullgard1: why is that a problem ?
[14:20] <newbie> Starnestommy, ohh now I understand why I could not access the channel. Could you tell me how can I register for that?
[14:20] <ikonia> blame: yes, that will do directories

[14:20] <newbie> Starnestommy, thanks dude :)
[14:20] <Ardorin> soundray, Now i'm gettin gproblems from the pendrive.
[14:20] <Ardorin> It cant copy the files with weird names.
[14:20] <bullgard1> ikonia: I do not know why dmesg includes these two lines. Can you tell me that?
[14:20] <Ardorin> I can now read them from my hard drive, but they won't be copied to my floppy,.
[14:21] <blame> soundray: what would be the syntax with find and xorgs? something like find. -type f | xargs something ..
[14:21] <Bacta> what can I open an RPM with?
[14:21] <ikonia> bullgard1: it's telling you that device has a "quirk"
[14:21] <bazhang> bacta better to search for it in repos
[14:21] <EshiKaio> drash, saw it, thx
[14:21] <Bacta> it's not there
[14:21] <Bacta> but I have an rpm
[14:21] <soundray> Ardorin: is it displaying the accented characters when you 'ls'?
[14:21] <Bacta> what can I do?
[14:21] <bazhang> bacta what file
[14:21] <ikonia> Bacta: what software is it
[14:21] <drash> EshiKaio: Steve_cal sorry, tab-completion mistake of my part .. i've gone through a series of changes that i got from ubuntuforums on that matter, i'll look for the bookmark, brb
[14:21] <bullgard1> ikonia: And what is a "quirk"? Do you know that and can tell me?
[14:22] <Bacta> VMWare
[14:22] <bazhang> bacta that is in repos
[14:22] <ikonia> bullgard1: I don't know without more research
[14:22] <Ardorin> No, soundray, I get mars.
[14:22] <Bacta> it doesn't work
[14:22] <Bacta> won't install for me
[14:22] <Ardorin> I get question marks.
[14:22] <Ardorin> And things like that.
[14:22] <ikonia> bullgard1: it looks like it's just had resources taken away from it and re-assigned b acpi
[14:22] <r2d2_> On my /etc/nework/interfaces file i want to setup a static ip, on most guides it does it using the auto etho but in mine its running on auto lo, anybody no why this would be ?
[14:22] <Ardorin> I get question marks.ls
[14:22] <bazhang> bacta the rpm will work less
[14:22] <ikonia> bullgard1: doesn't look anything major
[14:22] <ikonia> r2d2_: lo is your loopback address
[14:22] <Bacta> well it won't let me do it on synaptic
[14:22] <ikonia> r2d2_: don't worry about that
[14:22] <Bacta> I have an RPM
[14:22] <Starnestommy> bullgard1: a quirk is a strange thing that isn't usually a major problem
[14:22] <Bacta> is there anyway i can install this?
[14:22] <soundray> Ardorin: can you give me the exact line that you used for mounting the device please
[14:22] <ikonia> Bacta: forget about the rpm
[14:22] <bazhang> bacta no one instalss vmware that way
[14:23] <r2d2_> so if i just go ahead and add the auto etho config under it that will work ikonia
[14:23] <Xorothal> "Error
[14:23] <Xorothal> #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"
[14:23] <ikonia> r2d2_: yes, if your device is called eth0
[14:23] <bullgard1> ikonia, Starnestommy: Right.
[14:23] <soundray> Bacta: it's more trouble than downloading the Ubuntu package
[14:23] <ikonia> Xorothal: -p for password
[14:23] <drash> Steve_cal: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. it's a read ;)
[14:23] <Xorothal> ikonia, i'm using phpmyadmin
[14:23] <ikonia> Xorothal: next time try to give more info
[14:23] <Bacta> what do I search for in Synaptic
[14:23] <Traveler6> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13018/ any way around this annoying problem? I can't even get Live-CD to boot (tried 7.04, 8.04 and 8.04-64bit) :(
[14:23] <r2d2_> well it is yes but if i try configure it through the nwetork gui interface it doesnt recognise the device
[14:23] <Bacta> because the vmware player package won't do it
[14:23] <ikonia> Xorothal: looks like your grants aren't setup right
[14:24] <Xorothal> ?
[14:24] <bazhang> Bacta, apt-cache search vmware
[14:24] <ikonia> r2d2_: probably because eth0 doesnt exist on your system
[14:24] <ikonia> r2d2_: look at "ifconfig -a" do you see an eth0
[14:24] <bazhang> vmware-server Bacta
[14:24] <r2d2_> then how am i connected ?
[14:24] <Xorothal> ikonia, it was working about an hour ago
[14:24] <ikonia> r2d2_: wirless ?
[14:24] <r2d2_> lemme look....
[14:24] <r2d2_> no
[14:24] <ikonia> Xorothal: so what have you changed ?
[14:24] <Starnestommy> Traveler6: that's probably a bios setting or a hard disk or cd drive error
[14:24] <Xorothal> nothing that I know of...
[14:24] <Xorothal> ah
[14:24] <ikonia> Xorothal: is mysql running ?
[14:25] <Xorothal> i installed various mysql-related packages
[14:25] <Xorothal> 1sec
[14:25] <ikonia> Xorothal: so not really "i've changed nothing"
[14:25] <r2d2_> what am i lookin for exactly ikonia with that cmd cos a load of info has come up
[14:25] <ikonia> r2d2_: your looking for a device called eth0
[14:25] <r2d2_> yup
[14:25] <ikonia> r2d2_: or a device thats not lo
[14:25] <r2d2_> it exists
[14:25] <Xorothal> ikonia, sorry, but I didn't think the packages I installed would have had any effect on the config
[14:25] <ikonia> r2d2_: so ifconfig eth0 brings back display
[14:25] <Xorothal> I installed: python-mysqldb mysql-client
[14:26] <r2d2_> u lost me sorry
[14:26] <Xorothal> ikonia, and yes, mysql is running
[14:26] <ikonia> r2d2_: if you do an ifconfig eth0 do you get info with an ip
[14:26] <ikonia> Xorothal: connect on the command line for a test
[14:26] <r2d2_> lemme see
[14:26] <ikonia> Xorothal: I suspect that now with mysql-client phpadmin is authing against that
[14:26] <Xorothal> ikonia, have done, and it works
[14:26] <r2d2_> yup
[14:26] <hchufeng> there is something wrong with my scim ,it can't input in opera.does anyone who can help me?
[14:26] <ikonia> r2d2_: what ip do you get ?
[14:27] <r2d2_> <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:27] <bazhang> hchufeng, works with firefox?
[14:27] <ikonia> Xorothal: good sign so you need to edit the myphpadmin config to use the -p option now your authing against the client
[14:27] <the_newbie> what is the command to change my nick on xchat?
[14:27] <hchufeng> sorry ,firefox can't open my school lan net
[14:27] <ikonia> the_newbie: /nick
[14:27] <Starnestommy> the_newbie: /nicl
[14:27] <Starnestommy> er, nick, not nicl
[14:27] <r2d2_> ok, 1 last quick Q
[14:27] <marcules> hi^^
[14:27] <bazhang> the_newbie, /nick newnick
[14:27] <hchufeng> bazhang  but opera can do that
[14:28] <r2d2_> in my config do i need to specify the namesservers if so how do i find them out
[14:28] <Xorothal> ikonia, i just removed mysql-client and tried again, it still doesn't work
[14:28] <ikonia> r2d2_: contact your isp
[14:28] <r2d2_> so i need to specify them then
[14:28] <ikonia> Xorothal: well, for some reason myphpadmin is not using the -p option
[14:28] <ikonia> I don't know what you've changed
[14:28] <bazhang> !nickspam > newbieee
[14:28] <r2d2_> alrighty thx ikonia!!!
[14:28] <nogeek> hi, I experience a critical bug in 8.04 but I have no idea how to file it since GDM is crashing. Please help.
[14:28] <Xorothal> ikonia, so how can i set it to do so?
[14:29] <ikonia> r2d2_: look in /etc/resolv.conf to see what you currently have
[14:29] <ikonia> Xorothal: look in the config file there must be an option that says "use password" or something like that
[14:29] <mumu> what command can i use to empty the content of specific folder
[14:29] <bullgard1> What is the function or role of the Kconfig files? Is Linus Torvald's /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt the definition for the Kconfig files?
[14:29] <soundray> nogeek: can you elaborate
[14:29] <ikonia> mumu: rm
[14:29] <soundray> mumu: rm -r
[14:29] <ikonia> bullgard1: join #kernel
[14:29] <mumu> if i want to remove all files in it
[14:29] <mumu> ?
[14:30] <ikonia> bullgard1: the are basic build instructions for kbuild
[14:30] <Starnestommy> mumu: rm -r folder/*
[14:30] <r2d2_> nice!!
[14:30] <ikonia> bullgard1: you'll get more info in #kernel
[14:30] <Esteth_> I'm trying to bind KP_Enter to "Switch to workspace 1", but the box tells me i cannot use it because it would be impossible to type with this key. I don't really care if i have to hit return instead of enter, but i want to bind the key. Is there a way to override gnome's "protection" and bind the key anyway?
[14:31] <JackWinter> might there be a problem accessing mac dvds from kubuntu?  i have some that are dual PC/Mac which work fine under XP, have not tried Mac.  When trying to install under kubuntu I get access errors like  i'm not allowed access to them.  i can still get at the data as root...  here is the output of ls -l: http://rafb.net/p/HnjkQu96.htm
[14:31] <bazhang> JackWinter, data or other
[14:31] <tim167> its definitely not a xorg problem, i copied my xorg.conf file from a working installation on the same computer, but still i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor after the login screen.. can someone help ?
[14:32] <niketas> Guys! What script initializes X-server?
[14:32] <Rediska> Rediska
[14:32] <ikonia> niketas: gdm
[14:32] <bullgard1> ikonia: I will take into consideration what you have just told me about Kconfig.  --  Thank you.
[14:32] <aCCe-> hello
[14:32] <niketas> ikonia: but where is it located?
[14:32] <ikonia> niketas: x11-common
[14:32] <aCCe->  need help for installing HLDS on ubuntu
[14:33] <Starnestommy> niketas: it's launched by gdm, which is launched by /etc/init.d/gdm
[14:33] <aCCe->  need help for installing HLDS on ubuntu
[14:33] <JackWinter> bazhang: data (some install disks)
[14:33] <ikonia> aCCe-: we saw you ask 5 seconds ago
[14:33] <bazhang> JackWinter, install for what
[14:34] <nogeek> soundray: starting some videos in totem can make GDM crash, i.e. new log-in required. I see no pattern. Same issue with Kaffeine (which I use for DVB-T). Here the STOP-function leaves the last image in the window -- alike PAUSE. When covering this left window for a while with others, putting it back in front causes the same GDM-crash. Understandable?
[14:34] <JackWinter> I can do a sudo cp -r /cdrom ., and then i have to do a chown....  seems like a wasteful way of installing...
[14:34] <bazhang> JackWinter, installing what
[14:35] <JackWinter> bazhang: it's the installation disks for a windows VST called BFD v2 (a drum sampler).
[14:35] <bazhang> JackWinter, why not wine
[14:35] <soundray> nogeek: don't report this against gdm, though. It's an xorg problem -- probably of the video driver. What's your card?
[14:35] <Xpistos> Has anyone had any success getting xD or other flash cards working in Ubuntu?
[14:36] <nogeek> soundray: intel 945, Acer laptop
[14:36] <tom__> Xpistos, I have a card reader in my laptop, and it works fine for every type of card I've tested.
[14:36] <soundray> nogeek: and you're using the intel or i810 driver?
[14:36] <JackWinter> bazhang: I can only access the DVD as root..!  much as i love my wine sequencer, I don't wanna run wine as root ;)
[14:36] <Xpistos> tom_ have you had to install any different drivers?
[14:36] <tom__> Xpistos, Negative.  It all worked out of the box
[14:36] <Xpistos> My reader acts like it is reading, but never sotps
[14:37] <Xpistos> Hmm?
[14:37] <Xpistos> what version of ubuntu are you using
[14:37] <bazhang> JackWinter, that is odd-->this a dvd you burned yourself?
[14:37] <niketas> Starnestommy: alright. If i wanna use new keyboard map and I need to put a string "/usr/bin/xkbcomp /path/to/your/home/dir/.xkb_config $DISPLAY"
[14:37] <nogeek> soundray: how do I know?
[14:37] <niketas> Starnestommy: shall i put it to gdm?
[14:37] <tom__> Xpistos, 8.04.
[14:37] <Xpistos> hmm
[14:37] <soundray> nogeek: from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[14:37] <tom__> It detects it, and automountsi t.  my card reader is built into my laptop, though.
[14:37] <Starnestommy> niketas: I don't know
[14:38] <soundray> nogeek: this file should hold some information about the crash as well, before it restarts
[14:38] <dmsuperman> What's the package I need to install to get Java to work in firefox? I've installed Java itself, but Firefox still complains of a missing plugin
[14:39] <Jaie> l;p.//////////////////FGTRRRRRRR
[14:39] <tim167> i have a blank light brown screen after login (already in X) what do i do ?
[14:39] <Jaie> ]\
[14:39] <JackWinter> bazhang: yes, from an image.  but check the my pastebin the files belong to root and are 700 ?
[14:39] <tom__> dmsuperman, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu.html - google is your friend.,
[14:39] <bazhang> Jaie, please stop
[14:39] <dmsuperman> tom__, which I already found, and I've installed it, as I said, but firefox still complains of a missing plugin
[14:40] <bazhang> dmsuperman, for flash or what
[14:40] <dmsuperman> bazhang, java
[14:40] <Radit> how do you retrieve the location of a file in nautilus if the location is to long?
[14:40] <soundray> nogeek: you might log in on a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F2), do a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop', then run X with startx, reproduce the crash, then make a copy of the log file in your home directory with 'cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~'
[14:40] <nogeek> soundray: (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, etc | (--) Chipset 945GM found
[14:41] <soundray> nogeek: i810 then. Is it a fresh installation? Which version of Ubuntu?
[14:41] <tom__> dmsuperman,  The only plug in it needs is "sun-java6-plugin" - as long as you KNOW you have java installed
[14:41] <tom__> dmsuperman, are you sure "sun-java6-plugin" is installed?  check out: about:plugins
[14:42] <dmsuperman> tom__, It's not in about:plugins
[14:42] <schlicht> i upgraded to ubuntu 8,  when i plug in headphones the speakers arent mute, but with the live cd from hardy that works fine...anyone an idea what i can do?
[14:42] <tom__> Hm.  interesting.
[14:42] <dmsuperman> but sun-java6-plugin is installed
[14:42] <nogeek> soundray: Hardy no build-essential-tweaks
[14:42] <tom__> dmsuperman, what distro?
[14:42] <dmsuperman> Ubuntu 8.04
[14:42] <amenado> dmsuperman-> do you have /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so  which is a link to /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so
[14:42] <tom__> And you're using Mozilla 3B5?
[14:43] <soundray> dmsuperman: sun-java6-plugin is only available for i386. Is that what you're on?
[14:43] <drash> dmsuperman: tried Firefox-ing your way to Sun's website and taking their java test ? That might be another route to tackle your problem..
[14:43] <gAp> speak italian ?
[14:43] <bazhang> !it
[14:43] <scunizi> dmsuperman, about:plugins in the FF address bar will list current plugins
[14:43] <dmsuperman> soundray, yes
[14:43] <soundray> nogeek: did you see my line about how to gather information about the crash?
[14:43] <dmsuperman> amenado, I have it, it is a link
[14:43] <gAp> grazie
[14:43] <Radit> how do you retrieve the location of a file in nautilus if the location is to long and replaces it with ...?
[14:44] <dmsuperman> scunizi, I know, and it doesn't list java
[14:44] <bazhang> prego :)
[14:44] <dmsuperman> even though i've installed the plugin
[14:44] <tim167> if i do ctrl+alt+F1 and then startx it says X is already running on display 0, but there i have only a blank brown screen with a mouse cursor, please help !
[14:44] <soundray> dmsuperman: you need to restart firefox once you've installed the sun-java6-plugin package
[14:44] <amenado> dmsuperman-> if it is not listed in about:plugins  it must be added then
[14:44] <tom__> dmsuperman, Then i'm clueless brother.
[14:44] <dmsuperman> soundray, I didn't even have firefox open
[14:44] <dmsuperman> tom__, :(
[14:44] <LimCore> tim167: X should be on VT7 (alt-ctrl7)
[14:44] <scunizi> tim167, screen 0 is at ctrl+alt+f7
[14:45] <dmsuperman> amenado, if it's _not_ in about:plugins then it _is_ installed?
[14:45] <LimCore> ctrl-alt-F7
[14:45] <nogeek> soundray: I just try to grasp it. I'll print it and then do it. Where could the crash be recorded already? what do I have to look for?
[14:45] <amenado> dmsuperman-> if it is not listed in about:plugins  it must be added then
[14:45] <tim167> LimCore: it is on alt-ctl F7 but its a blank brown screen
[14:45] <dmsuperman> amenado, that makes no sense, plus any page that needs java still has the missing plugin thing
[14:45] <tom__> dmsuperman, is there anything in  /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ ?
[14:45] <amenado> dmsuperman-> if you dont like to listen, then you are on your own
[14:45] <DjViper> anyone with Truecrypt experience here?
[14:45] <tim167> scunizi: at screen 0 i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor
[14:45] <dmsuperman> tom__, a flash plugin
[14:45] <soundray> nogeek: when X has just crashed, the information goes into Xorg.0.log. When gdm restarts, it will get overwritten.
[14:45] <dmsuperman> amenado, I did listen...
[14:45] <Nith> tim167: whats the result of ps -e | grep compiz ?
[14:46] <bazhang> DjViper, what is your question
[14:46] <palbuddy> help a newbie (me!) I just got a sansa e260 v1, and loaded rockbox on successfully, I was wondering how I connect to it via ubuntu
[14:46] <diego> exit
[14:46] <LimCore> tim167: strange, what video card
[14:46] <tim167> Nith: i'll check hold on...
[14:46] <DjViper> bazhang: after installing and creating a volume, how come my permissions is fubar? ie. home directory can't be read from my user
[14:46] <DjViper> only root
[14:46] <scunizi> tim167, that means gdm didn't start right for some reason.. could be because it didn't detect your video card correctly.
[14:46] <soundray> nogeek: the information you need should be at the end of the file. If you report a bug against xorg, it's no mistake to attach the entire log.
[14:46] <tim167> Nith:  no output at all
[14:46] <skeeel> hello this is not really a ubuntu question but a php under ubuntu question
[14:47] <bazhang> DjViper, what tutorials did you follow
[14:47] <h4L1m> hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that?
[14:47] <tim167> scunizi: i tried fixing it by copying xorg.conf from a previous install on the exact same computer...
[14:47] <dmsuperman> amenado, how have I not listened? You asked a question that I didn't get, and I said it made no sense. I've answered everybody's questions to the best of knowledge and ability :S
[14:47] <skeeel> why do i have  this error Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagefilter()
[14:47] <Nith> tim167: have you ever got X running before?
[14:47] <rouini> is there any software like skype using video chat
[14:47] <DjViper> bazhang: none?
[14:47] <bazhang> DjViper, just winged it?
[14:47] <DjViper> bazhang: pretty much yes? heh
[14:47] <Starnestommy> skeeel: because imagefilter() is not a defined function
[14:48] <tim167> Nith, yes, on the same computer, but another harddrive, and an older ubuntu (now i try 8 on a usb stick)
[14:48] <bazhang> DjViper, do you remember what you did?
[14:48] <Starnestommy> skeeel: or the extension that provides it isn't loaded
[14:48] <skeeel> i installed php5-gd
[14:48] <nogeek> soundray: can I then also after a crash just shut down and boot into XP and copy the log from here?
[14:48] <skeeel> Starnestommy, which ext is it , do you know ?
[14:48] <h4L1m> hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that?
[14:48] <drash> rouini: thousands .. any more details on what you're specifically looking for ?
[14:48] <Nith> tim167: so you're running from a live usb stick?
[14:48] <clee-saan> hi, where are located the files of a programm ? I must add a map file into the map folder of some video game, where will i find this ?
[14:48] <tim167> Nith: i'm still confused,,isn't X already running? since i got the login screen and i get a mouse cursor now... ?
[14:48] <DjViper> bazhang: download deb, installed, created volume (AES), normal settings, mounted... crapped
[14:48] <soundray> nogeek: only if you have an ext3 filesystem driver for Windows
[14:48] <tim167> Nith: yes
[14:49] <soundray> nogeek: sorry, have to leave
[14:49] <dmsuperman> tom__, could it be that I have firefox-2 installed? would that really matter?
[14:49] <Nith> tim167: yes but I mean when was the last time you successfully logged in
[14:49] <nogeek> soundray: thanks yes I do
[14:49] <ramukmar> clee-saan: it should usually be in the .game folder
[14:49] <bazhang> DjViper, this a new install or lots of precious data in there
[14:49] <Starnestommy> skeeel: did you restart apache after installing it?
[14:49] <bigboss_> hello guys
[14:49] <tom__> dmsuperman, I'm not sure.  Because I run 64-bit, I used to have Firefox3b5, and firefox2 installed.. ran into some problems.. then found "gnash" to replace flash.. so it just could be.
[14:49] <bigboss_> i am a newcomer to linux
[14:49] <DjViper> bazhang: new install
[14:49] <tim167> Nith: on the usb stick, never, i get the login screen (graphical) and after that always the 'empty desktop'
[14:49] <rouini> drash: give me some name please
[14:49] <r2d2> DjViper i no a nice tutorial link for truecrypt if u want it ?
[14:49] <ramukmar> bigboss_: welcome
[14:50] <DjViper> r2d2: sure
[14:50] <skeeel> Starnestommy, yes i resolve a previous error i had (imagecreatefromgif()) but now i have this one
[14:50] <clee-saan> ramukmar: and where is this game folder located ? I man the pathway from the hard drive
[14:50] <r2d2> http://www.howtoforge.com/truecrypt-with-gui-on-ubuntu-7.10
[14:50] <scunizi> clee-saan, depends on the game but typically in your home directory.. /home/<username>/.   notice the dot at the end.. sometimes the directories are hidden.. go to places/home from the menu and when the window pops up hit ctrl+h to view the hidden stuff..
[14:50] <bazhang> DjViper, best to follow a tutorial because with encryption there is no second chance :)
[14:50] <dmsuperman> tom__, ah, it _is_ a bug with having firefox-2
[14:50] <dmsuperman> tom__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/211309
[14:50] <r2d2> you have to create a new group wiht permissions or sommit, see page 2
[14:50] <Starnestommy> skeeel: what program are you trying to run that needs that function?
[14:50] <mechdave> Hey all, does anyone know if packages.ubuntu.com is down?
[14:50] <drash> rouini i can't for the life of me remember the last time i video-chatted (if ever) ;) clueless
[14:50] <tom__> dmsuperman,  Sweet.  Found your answer!
[14:50] <ramukmar> clee-saan: it's in your home folder, show hidden folders...and you'll see them
[14:50] <bazhang> mechdave, was earlier
[14:50] <skeeel> Starnestommy, a addons for oscommerce
[14:50] <r2d2> that works with 8.04 also
[14:51] <DjViper> bazhang: hhe, well I haven't encrypted my /home dir
[14:51] <bazhang> DjViper, phew :)
[14:51] <rouini> drash: i want to install like skype features
[14:51] <mechdave> bazhang, thanks, that is why I can't get to it :)
[14:51] <bazhang> mechdave :)
[14:51] <DjViper> bazhang: but for some reason truecrypt changes the permissions on all dirs
[14:51] <dxdemetriou> I think I'll use ingburn with wine for dual layer dvds until the problem fixed.. 4 dvds failed with k3b and nero
[14:51] <drash> rouini: but not skype itself ?
[14:51] <dmsuperman> tom__, and there's a fix in the comments, it seems to have worked
[14:52] <r2d2> DjViper,  see that tutorial all we be clear :P
[14:52] <clee-saan> ramukmar: okay, no map folder here. I guess i'll ask on the game's IRC
[14:52] <clee-saan> ramukmar: thanks anyway
[14:52] <ramukmar> clee-saan: just curious...this game, is it tremulous?
[14:52] <rouini> drash: of course help me
[14:52] <Nith> tim167: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728341 this seems to be a similar problem in 6.10, it might apply to you
[14:52] <h4L1m> hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that or can help me with that?
[14:52] <DjViper> r2d2: okay thanks
[14:52] <r2d2> np
[14:52] <clee-saan> ramukmar: i don't actually know what tremulous means.
[14:52] <drash> rouini: i would if i had any solution which i don't sorry
[14:52] <ramukmar> clee-saan: ok
[14:52] <bearophile> Hello, I have a problem in my first Ubuntu 8.04 installation. I have installed it on a third internal HD, I have already tried to recreate grub following the online help, but surely there's something I am missing
[14:53] <dmsuperman> tom__, woot, fixed worked! thanks for your help, and you too soundray and amenado
[14:53] <Starnestommy> skeeel: which addon?
[14:53] <skeeel> MATC
[14:53] <skeeel> Starnestommy, MATC
[14:53] <rouini> drash: try to find solution for me
[14:53] <tom__> dmsuperman, You fixed it yourself man.. but you're welcome hehe
[14:53] <cypha> lol, i'm on irc through pidgeon
[14:53] <cypha> seems funny
[14:53] <scunizi> h4L1m, referance xrandr on google.. I know after getting your vid card  working correctly you can change resolutions with "xrandr  -s <resolution>"  you should have a method to designate which screen gets what resolution
[14:53] <dmsuperman> tom__, regardless, you were trying to help when you didn't, which matters :D
[14:54] <tim167> does anyone know why the gnome panels and menus are not loading ?
[14:54] <nol> hello, ive got a little problem. every time i restart the computer, my screenlets as widgets get dissapear and i have to restart them again
[14:54] <dmsuperman> so does anybody know if there's a fix for the nvidia/compiz titlebar bug yet?
[14:54] <Nith> h4L1m: the 8.04 screen resolution changer allows you to set screens with different resolutions
[14:54] <magnus_> anyone here now lives?
[14:54] <h4L1m> Nith, yap but it doesn't detect my second monitor

[14:58] <rouini> is there any software like skype using video chat in Ubuntu 8.04
[14:58] <cypha> fine, i'll give it another shot
[14:58] <scunizi> rouini, ekiga
[14:58] <cypha> i really liked mirc to tell you the truth
[14:58] <magnus_> cypha: did u try chatzilla? :)
[14:58] <cypha> i could do everything i wanted in mirc
[14:58] <cypha> and soooo many scripts available
[14:58] <cypha> i haven't magnus
[14:58] <cypha> should i?
[14:58] <magnus_> cypha: i dont know ;)
[14:58] <Starnestommy> cypha: imho, kvirc is the closest to mirc in terms of interfaces, but irssi is the closest in scripting ability
[14:58] <cypha> lol
[14:59] <tim167> Nith: it says i need at leas 4GB to install ubuntu, my usb stick is officially 4GB, but in practice it can only use 3.5GB or so, would that be a problem ?

[15:00] <Dizkonnekted> scunizi: I have an old pc that runs 7.10 just fine, but ive always had problems mounting a second internal hdd, now i want to start fresh with 8.04
[15:00] <cypha> by the way, what's the difference between dpgk, --purge, rm, and apt-get remove??
[15:00] <drash> rouini: there's some detailed info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4839621
[15:00] <scunizi> rouini, will you be talking with another ekiga user or is the other person using something else? if so what?
[15:00] <Chousuke> cypha: other than them doing completely different things? :/
[15:00] <bearophile> This place is too much crowded, too many people into a room, I think this room may need a splitting
[15:01] <cypha> someone told me to --purge something before to make sure it completely was gone
[15:01] <cypha> otherwise, i usually see apt-get remove
[15:01] <Chousuke> cypha: apt-get remove essentially does dpkg -r, which does rm in a controlled manner
[15:01] <cypha> and rm seems to be delete smoething
[15:01] <fifthrune> Why does it say I have no graphics card driver in Screens and Graphics?  I have the Intel 945 GMA and it works fine for resolution but under 'driver' is says 'none'
[15:01] <erUSUL> cypha: --purge removes configuration files too
[15:01] <Chousuke> cypha: rm just removes a file
[15:01] <cypha> so best is to --purge?
[15:01] <scunizi> Dizkonnekted, if you install fresh with the second drive installed already it should recognize it and give you access.. If you have the system already installed and then put the HD into the machine, you typically have to edit fstab
[15:02] <cypha> so that all remnants of a package are gone?
[15:02] <Chousuke> cypha: only if you want to get rid of the configuration
[15:02] <Chousuke> cypha: sometimes you don't want that
[15:02] <cypha> ok, so if i took a long time setting up the config for the thing, and i may want the thing in the future...i should not --purge
[15:02] <rouini> scunizi: is there anther software
[15:02] <Chousuke> cypha: yes.
[15:02] <szaybus> Hi everyone. Can anyone help me with runing 8.04 on an intel card and 1650x1050 display? Keeps hanging the system...
[15:02] <cypha> cool
[15:02] <bearophile> I'll try the supergrub then
[15:02] <dundee> Hi. I am trying to open PHP files in gedit from Gnome commander (via double-click). But it tells me something about that I have to set application/x-php in Control Center. But there is nothing like this...any idea?
[15:03] <Chousuke> cypha: you could also just take a copy of the config, though. :)
[15:03] <EshiKaio> szaybus, works for me
[15:03] <cypha> what about apt-get remove? that just does purge without removing the config files?
[15:03] <cypha> what do you mean take a copy of the config?
[15:03] <scunizi> rouini, use skype on ubuntu if the other user is using skype.. linux version now has video
[15:03] <EshiKaio> szaybus, I use intel chip and 1650x1050 without problem
[15:03] <Chousuke> cypha: copy the config file somewhere in order to store it
[15:03] <Chousuke> cypha: nothing special, just a copy :P
[15:03] <cypha> ohoh, i see
[15:04] <cypha> how do i see what each program is using as its config file?
[15:04] <rouini> scunizi:did you know kopete
[15:04] <Chousuke> cypha: you need to read their manual to know that
[15:04] <cypha> oh
[15:04] <cypha> i see
[15:04] <cypha> and all files for a program aren't kept in a single folder, right?
[15:04] <cypha> it's all over the partition?
[15:04] <Chousuke> usually it's something in /etc, or in your home directory.
[15:04] <Chousuke> well, not all over, but yes
[15:05] <Chousuke> that's why we have packages
[15:05] <cypha> k, makes sense
[15:05] <Chousuke> to make it easier to install and remove applications
[15:05] <Sladjannn> hello
[15:05] <cypha> what's the difference between a directory and a folder?
[15:05] <magnus_> cypha: chatzilla its easy to hide joins nicks etc there, and has a nice gui
[15:05] <Starnestommy> cypha: just the name.
[15:05] <Chousuke> cypha: just the terminology
[15:05] <cypha> oh
[15:05] <Chousuke> cypha: they're traditionally directories on UNIX, and folders on windows
[15:05] <cypha> but a directory is .directory ?
[15:05] <Chousuke> no.
[15:05] <cypha> as opposed to /whatever/
[15:05] <Sladjannn> I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753,
[15:06] <Sladjannn> I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753,  PLEASE HELP ME
[15:06] <cypha> what's the . ?
[15:06] <Slavi3> hello to all!
[15:06] <Sladjannn> I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753,  PLEASE HELP ME on pvt
[15:06] <Chousuke> cypha: a directory is a folder and a folder is a directory :)
[15:06] <scunizi> rouini, no.. but kopete is kinda like pidgin
[15:06] <douye> cypha: thought the . makes it a hidden folder
[15:06] <Starnestommy> cypha: a . at the start of a file or directory name makes it hidden
[15:06] <Chousuke> cypha: the . is a traditional unix way of marking hidden files
[15:06] <cypha> what does the . mean then? at the beginning
[15:06] <cypha> ohh
[15:06] <cypha> ok
[15:06] <Chousuke> cypha: it works for both directories and files
[15:06] <Sladjannn> I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753,  PLEASE HELP ME on pvt
[15:06] <ramukmar> cypha: the .folders are also where config files usually go
[15:06] <szaybus> anyone here using intel 965 on a 16:10 display and hardy?
[15:06] <Starnestommy> !repeat > Sladjannn
[15:06] <Chousuke> (because directories are files, in unix)
[15:06] <cypha> i see
[15:06] <suliman> hi i have this problem "cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071017)]/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs"
[15:07] <cypha> and what does that mean......a directory is a file?
[15:07] <cypha> i've ehard that a few times now
[15:07] <Esteth_> I've enabled enhanced desktop effects, and now whatever menu or window is in focus has a purple glow around it. How do i change the color of this glow?
[15:07] <rouini> scunizi: you are a new user or old one
[15:07] <Chousuke> cypha: it means that it behaves a lot like any other file
[15:07] <Chousuke> cypha: to the user that often doesn't matter, but it's visible if you program for unix.
[15:07] <Xpistos> here is a question: I am having trouble with my dell dj ditty. When I plug it in i get a mtp error. Anyone have ideas on how to address this? I have libmtp7 already installed

[15:09] <Myrtti> !paste | Slavi3
[15:09] <Chousuke> cypha: for example, a "." at the beginnin of a filename marks any file hidden. because directories are files, this automatically applies to them as well. :)

[15:10] <ramukmar> cypha: strange though
[15:10] <Souler> I need help
[15:10] <PPKuma> Starnestommy: is that why the apt-get is not working?
[15:10] <Souler> <_<
[15:10] <Starnestommy> PPKuma: packages.ubuntu.com usually isn't used by apt-get
[15:10] <Souler> I need help installing video driver
[15:10] <scunizi> rouini, a little of everywhere. now in us
[15:11] <Chousuke> cypha: you always know whether a file is hidden or not
[15:11] <drash> for mic issues and a possible solution --> http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu#audio_issues
[15:11] <Souler> >_>
[15:11] <cypha> how?
[15:11] <Chousuke> cypha: a hidden file's name *always* has the . at the front
[15:11] <Souler> meh..... when u done helping him, PM me.
[15:12] <cypha> how will i see it if it's hidden?
[15:12] <cypha> and how will i know it exists?
[15:12] <rouini> scunizi:you are using Ubuntu 8.04 ? or what
[15:12] <Chousuke> well most filemanagers can show you hidden files
[15:12] <PPKuma> Starnestommy: so... i have a problem. Is there any command i can diagnose why the apt-get is not working?
[15:12] <Dizkonnekted> scunizi: Thanks, Do you have any guidance about setting up the user(s) /home folder?
[15:12] <scunizi> drash, hardy isn't alsa based..
[15:12] <cypha> then why even hide it in the first place
[15:12] <dingya19861013> Where am I?
[15:12] <scunizi> rouini, yes
[15:12] <drash> cypha: it might be a good idea to turn on viewing of hidden files in any GUI based file manger you use to get the hang of it
[15:12] <Chousuke> cypha: because you might not want to always see it
[15:12] <szaybus> anyone with experience with intel 965 graphics? cant get x to work in 1650x1050 - it hangs the system, the open intel drivers dosent change anything, anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable?
[15:12] <Starnestommy> PPKuma: run "sudo apt-get update" then look for any error messages
[15:13] <cypha> yeah, even in windows i always had hidden files viewable
[15:13] <cypha> they just had a transparent tint
[15:13] <scunizi> Dizkonnekted, not sure I understand that question.. you can place it on a different drive if you want.
[15:13] <PPKuma> Starnestommy: ok, will do that, thanks
[15:13] <Souler> I need help >_>
[15:13] <drash> scunizi: no, but with pulseaudio it can work together like clockwork, also on top of alsa
[15:13] <suliman> how to upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 by CD
[15:13] <rouini> scunizi: i have amd is good or bad?
[15:13] <Chousuke> cypha: for example, the command line utility "ls" only shows hidden files if you give it the "-a" option. that is, "ls -a"
[15:13] <cypha> scunizi: it says i have nvidia sound stuff, but my sound stuff is an onboard intel
[15:13] <Starnestommy> Souler: what kind of video card are you using?
[15:13] <Souler> amd is good
[15:13] <Souler> I use Nvidia
[15:13] <cypha> chousuke, good to know
[15:14] <Souler> but... I can't downoad any drivers from Nvidia website
[15:14] <Starnestommy> suliman: I think you need the alternate CD for that
[15:14] <Souler> I need to use my support page at HP
[15:14] <Souler> but then
[15:14] <scunizi> rouini, there's no real answer to that.
[15:14] <Souler> I cant find any for linux
[15:14] <Ziroday> Souler: are you trying to download nvidia drivers for your graphics card?
[15:14] <szaybus> anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable?
[15:14] <magnus_> cypha: just hit ctrl-h in nautilius to show hidden files
[15:14] <Souler> The ones I download from Nvidia webpager..... they dont work
[15:14] <Chousuke> cypha: actually another way to view hidden files is "ls .*" ("ls all files that start with a .")
[15:14] <Souler> ya
 how to  alternate
[15:15] <Souler> I need drivers for linux
[15:15] <cypha> what's nautilus?
[15:15] <rouini> scunizi: people here prefer intel
[15:15] <Ziroday> Souler: use the hardware drivers managert
[15:15] <Starnestommy> suliman: I don't remember
[15:15] <rsk> Souler: what driver
[15:15] <Souler> I did
[15:15] <Starnestommy> cypha: it's gnome's file manager
[15:15] <Souler> problem is
[15:15] <cypha> oh ok
[15:15] <Ziroday> !enter
[15:15] <scunizi> drash, I'll give it a try.. haven't tried that solution yet
[15:15] <Souler> I got no internet connection on Linux
[15:15] <Chousuke> cypha: most configuration files that are in your home directory are hidden in this manner
[15:15] <cypha> yeah, i'm in gnome, although i still don't know why one would choose gnome over the others
[15:15] <suliman> thanks
[15:15] <Dizkonnekted> scunizi: Sorry, I was wondering what you would suggest for making the best possible space available for each user(s)
[15:15] <scunizi> rouini, less issues sometimes.. espicailly on laptops from what I understand.
[15:16] <drash> scunizi: i'm looking for the url, very informative new stuff on that front, brb, it's on pulseaudio.org wiki somewhere
[15:16] <cypha> chousuke: k, i'll start using -a as a habit if i ever use ls
[15:16] <szaybus> anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable? please pm me...
[15:16] <Souler> When last time I tried installing drivers, it said I needed some linux kernel interface.... but I dunno where to get it. >_>
[15:16] <aCCe-> how to format USB on ubuntu?
[15:16] <cypha> i think i've used it once cuz of some instruction
[15:16] <Chousuke> cypha: usually you don't need to see all the files though. :)
[15:16] <ushimitsudoki> Souler: if you want to d/l the drivers from nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html you can download to a usb drive or something. You can get the linux-headers package from Synaptic
[15:16] <amenado> aCCe--> you use the tool fdisk
[15:16] <Chousuke> cypha: they're hidden because you usually don't need to care about them.
[15:16] <aCCe-> where is fdisk
[15:16] <cypha> ahh
[15:16] <aCCe-> ?
[15:16] <cypha> good point
[15:16] <drash> scunizi: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
[15:17] <drash> it's a read, but it delivers ;)
[15:17] <Souler> thx ushimitsudoki
[15:17] <amenado> aCCe--> whereis  fdisk   on a command line
[15:17] <scunizi> Dizkonnekted, each user is placed in /home with their own directory.. like /home/bill or /home/sally  .. they will only use the amount of space that is needed for the programs  installed.
[15:17] <cypha> do i have pulseaudio?
[15:17] <rouini> scunizi: time by time windows lost their funs
[15:17] <aCCe-> to use on terminal
[15:17] <Sladjannn> hello, I have updated my ubuntu and now I can't change resolution to normal... Please help me on pvt!!!
[15:17] <drash> cypha yes, if you installed 8.04
[15:17] <cypha> k
[15:17] <cypha> i still haven't understood how the soundcard works in linux
[15:17] <aCCe-> amenado,
[15:18] <cypha> or at least its drivers
[15:18] <aCCe-> i use fdisk
[15:18] <aCCe-> Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
[15:18] <aCCe-> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[15:18] <aCCe->   or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[15:18] <aCCe->   or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[15:18] <aCCe->   or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0  or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0  (for RAID devices)
[15:18] <aCCe-> and dev/ what is usb here?
[15:18] <aCCe-> and dev/ what is usb here?

[15:20] <empty_> I see that ubuntu has ppc support, but I can't seem to get my powermac to boot off the cd.  YellowDog linux boots okay though.  Any ideas?
[15:20] <thomas001> hi,i added the intrepid sources to my apt sources.list,but i set apt's default-release to hardy, but still it wants to upgrade packages like sudo to the intrepid version. why?
[15:21] <drash> beerfan: did you try to check any error messages when starting anything from a console ?
[15:21] <EshiKaio> empty_, have you downloaded the ppc  iso?
[15:21] <empty_> EshiKaio, yep
[15:21] <netsrot> Starnestommy: ok, I don't use that so how do I disable/remove it?
[15:21] <EshiKaio> which sofrware you burned the iso?
[15:21] <empty_> I tried the 8.0 ppc and 7.1 ppc isos

[15:22] <beerfan> drash, no I have only tried the hardware test so far
[15:22] <empty_> I see all the files an such
[15:22] <amenado> yaman-> did you try to use the nm to configure your nic card?
[15:22] <milos_> Sladjannn, what type of cadr do you have
[15:22] <Starnestommy> netsrot: I don't remember exactly how to disable it, but it might be in system > preferences > sessions
[15:22] <ours_polaire> fr
[15:22] <szaybus> SLADJANN i have sent you a pm already please rely
[15:22] <Starnestommy> Sladjannn: what things don't work?
[15:22] <drash> szaybus, safest route might be via Synaptic package manager, in the settings on the last tab you can 'force' down (or up) any version of a package you want
[15:22] <Myrtti> !register | szaybus, Sladjannn
[15:22] <dassouki> is there a way i can use my internal soundcard fpr playback and my usb capture card as capture input
[15:22] <yaman> amenado-> nop
[15:22] <yaman> i don;t know how to
[15:23] <netsrot> Starnestommy: I don't use gnome =(
[15:23] <amenado> Sladjannn-> we encourage people to share the knowledge, stay on the channel please
[15:23] <drash> beerfan: do you have pulseaudio daemon running (you can check via system monitor) ?
[15:23] <szaybus> Sladjannn what gfx card do u use?
[15:23] <Sladjannn> resolution, I can't change it... I have nVidia GeForce4
[15:23] <snewp> is there anyone has an idea about the error: no-user in oidentd ?
[15:23] <no7up4u2> sup all
[15:23] <Sladjannn> resolution, I can't change it... I have nVidia GeForce4
[15:23] <amenado> yaman-> you mentioned you made it work like in dapper, did you do the same steps? can you elaborate what steps you took?
[15:23] <bariga> does anyone know if the ubuntu studio 4.2.3-2 for amd64 is working properly yet?
[15:24] <Sladjannn> nv nvidia riva 128
[15:24] <beerfan> drash, I see pulseaudio yeah
[15:24] <empty_> EshiKaio, it spins the disc but stays at this white screen
[15:24] <szaybus> 8.04 dosent write the driver to xorg.conf usually (in my case on intel it dosent) so you may try to force it
[15:24] <rodders_> ping jarick
[15:24] <adakole5> pls want to know how to install some softwares like autocad and esword
[15:24] <Xpistos> C ya
[15:25] <szaybus> so try ading Driver "nv" in xorg.conf device section
[15:25] <Sladjannn> can someone help me
[15:25] <Starnestommy> adakole5: you might need to use wine
[15:25] <beerfan> drash, I found a howto install and it describes a bunch of things which don't exist on my system (adding users to pulseaudio groups, config files, etc.). Did the upgrade not complete the configuration?
[15:25] <dassouki> is there a way i can use my internal sound card for playback and my usb capture card as capture input
[15:25] <amenado> adakole5-> if its in the repository, pretty much like the other packages, download via synaptic, if not, it depends on the apps
[15:25] <yaman> amenado -> rmmod ndiswrapper
[15:25] <yaman> ;ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5
[15:25] <yaman> ;apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils;then install the ndiswrapper5.1;echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

[15:26] <no7up4u2> is ther a way to install nessus without having to leave the nessus port open 24/7?
[15:26] <EshiKaio> empty_, have you tried the live cd?
[15:26] <Sladjannn> milos_: where are u from?
[15:26] <drash> beerfan: pulseaudio is new and complex, i think it's very likely that it came with very conservative defaults
[15:26] <milos_> Sladjannn, Sarajevo
[15:26] <yaman>  amenado -> i have a saved paper from the ubuntu forum View Poll Results: Did this HOWTO for Dell E1505 Wireless help you?
[15:26] <milos_> Sladjannn, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:26] <empty_> EshiKaio, I tried that one first
[15:26] <tim167> after the login screen i get an empty screen, light brown with mouse cursor only, how to fix this ? thanks
[15:26] <empty_> EshiKaio, then read that I needed the ppc iso
[15:27] <bearophile> I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 as second OS. It doesn't boot at all. Now I have tried the "supergrub" too, and after running some time it stops after writing: "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"
[15:27] <drash> beerfan: besides that, you have checked that all your channels are unmuted, using alsamixer for instance ?
[15:27] <Sladjannn> milos_: sta dalje???
[15:27] <amenado> yaman-> okay, so you got a broadcom 43xx chips, i have so far been unsuccessful with that chip to make it work..so am  going to pass
[15:27] <CescoAiel> I have a weird issue with the Hardy tg3 driver on a BCM5722 (Dell Poweredge T105). Anyone got experience with that?
[15:27] <bazhang> bearophile, what exact error are you getting from the installer disk (or livecd)
[15:27] <Souler> On most systems, this means that you will need to locate and install the correct kernel-source, kernel-headers, or kernel-devel package;   ----------------How do I know its correct and where can I get it. help me please, I'm tottaly new to linux.
[15:27] <Sladjannn> milos_: uradio sam ono sto si mi rekao
[15:28] <kidvid711> I don't know how to install :-D
 it is not, they are windows based softwares
[15:28] <bazhang> Sladjannn, english here
[15:28] <CescoAiel> basically when I reboot with the cable connected, the network doesn't come up, even through the system thinks it is
[15:28] <Sladjannn> ok sorry I didn't know
[15:28] <Starnestommy> adakole5: then you'll need to use wine to run those
[15:28] <beerfan> drash: as far as I can tell the volume settings are the same as prior to the upgrade (nothing is muted)
[15:28] <amenado> Souler-> those are fairly advanced subject within linux, so you may want to start with just getting around linux rather than compiliing kernels
[15:28] <Sladjannn> milos_ what next?
[15:28] <CescoAiel> if I reboot *or* remove/reload tg3 with disconnected cable, and then plug it in, it will work fine
[15:29] <Souler> amenado.... I need it to install my video drivers
[15:29] <Souler> and I need that
[15:29] <yaman> amenado-> i think i have it working on knoppix and drapper you know i have a dell inspiron 6400 laptop i can't change it ... some thing installed here by default in the system i need to take off and it';s blocking my drivers from getting work
[15:29] <Souler> cuz last time
[15:29] <bazhang> souler what dirvers
[15:29] <Souler> i needed that
[15:29] <ere> how can I select my monitor model, dpgk what else?
[15:29] <Souler> Nvidia
[15:29] <Souler> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html
[15:29] <Souler> the ones here
[15:29] <bazhang> Souler, no need
[15:29] <drash> beerfan: "aplay -l" (that's an L) shows all your cards (if you might have more than one) ?
[15:29] <Souler> I got the 7 series one
[15:30] <amenado> Souler-> then you have to look for tutorials via google,  topic  ubuntu +driver compilation
[15:30] <bearophile> bazhang: I have WinXP on a raid 1 and I have given up trying to install it on that raid as second OS, so I have a third HD now, I have installed it from live CD and it has given no errors, but it doesn't boot, if I force the correct drive it gives "Reboot and select proper boot device" I have then tried supergrub and its booting stops there, at that "running..." line
[15:30] <Esteth_> How do i change the glow color in ccsm?
[15:30] <beerfan> drash, in the message and user logs I'm seeing messages "Failed to initialize daemon" and "This program is not intended to be run as root"
[15:30] <EshiKaio> empty_, try the ppc cd you burned on other machines
[15:30] <Souler> it says driver is enabled but its not working.......
[15:30] <amenado> Souler-> i myself do not normally compile drivers, lest i really must
[15:30] <bazhang> bearophile, the alt cd can set up raid etc
[15:30] <milos__> Sladjannn, restart computer, and if that doesn't help then try this http://pastebin.com/m2acad7c0
[15:30] <empty_> EshiKaio, should the ppc iso be able to boot an x86 box?
[15:30] <ere> how can I select my monitor model?
[15:30] <drash> beerfan: ah that's informative, what daemon are we dealing with exactly ? pulseaudio ?
[15:30] <bazhang> bearophile, or fix grub
[15:31] <yaman>  amenado-> 2 when i try to make my modem work the sound card stop and a message uppers telling me to reload it then i found no voice come out ? do you know how to fix this ? please i don't have any connection way i can't use the local connection area only !:(
[15:31] <nu-tu-ubuntu> 'lo all
[15:31] <ushimitsudoki> Souler: you can follow this guide to install the driver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual  You must be careful that you have disabled the drivers that try to load by default
[15:31] <beerfan> drash, that was about the pulseaudio daemon yes
[15:31] <bazhang> bearophile, boot in live cd and sudo grub from command line
[15:31] <bearophile> bazhang: the computer shop has told me otherwise, but that's not important now, I already have a third HD into the PC (and it works correctly from Win)
[15:31] <Souler> so there is no way I can fix my drivers without doing it?
[15:31] <amenado> bearophile-> please post your menu.lst and lets see what we may suggest as fix..paste in pastebin please
[15:31] <beerfan> drash, and main.c
[15:31] <drash> beerfan: try killing it ( "killall pulseaudio" ) and restart via "pulseaudio -D" and report back what happens please
[15:32] <ere> where can I select my monitor model and resolution??
[15:32] <beerfan> drash, also saying it couldn't open /etc/pulse/default.pa but that file seems valid
[15:32] <level09> I've just installed ubuntu, what web development tools are available for me now ?
[15:32] <amenado> yaman-> im afraid, i cant assist with sound, as mine dont have one either, network stuff i can help you
[15:32] <sudobash> SirSilhouette you in atl?
[15:32] <nu-tu-ubuntu> Probably a stupid question, but has anyone had much experience with the alsamixer?
[15:32] <erUSUL> drash: beerfan "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart"
[15:32] <Itaku> how do i broadcast music to shoutcast? what program should i use?
[15:32] <drash> erUSUL: thx !
[15:33] <amenado> level09-> several, depending on which programming lang you like to use, lots of java, python, perl ide floating around
[15:33] <ere> where can I select my monitor model and resolution??
[15:33] <beerfan> drash, restarting pulse hung rhythmbox, nice

[15:33] <SirSilhouette> sudobash: erm... yes.
[15:33] <yaman> amenado -> because i am new on linux and i am not a professional doing such things can you tell me where should i surf to found some drivers information ? or some thing could help ?
[15:33] <drash> :) help is never without new problems i guess :p
[15:33] <ptn107> how do I list open ssh tunnels from the terminal?

[15:35] <Balachmar> It wroked fine in feisty
[15:35] <ptn107> sudobash: do i have to kill the process to close it, or can I use an ssh command at the terminal to do it
[15:35] <szaybus> hmm
[15:35] <drash> beerfan: not with pulseaudio -D or with the command erUSUL gave here ?
[15:35] <possaceh> rrrrr

[15:35] <yaman> amenado-> thanx
[15:35] <beerfan> drash, I tried both
[15:35] <amenado> Itaku-> perhaps icecast2
[15:35] <yaman> i ll be back
[15:35] <nu-tu-ubuntu> i've just installed ubuntu afresh, and im finding that alsamixer won't start. Getting a "function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" error

[15:36] <jel> hey! I upgraded gf's comp from 7.10 to 8.04 and now the console tty's are dark green text on black which is quite unreadable on the LCD monitor. Where do I change the color of the tty console? TIA!
[15:36] <marlun> Has someone else had any problems with their Firefox 3.0b5? All my bookmarks is gone and if I go to a page I can't go back (no history) and the tabs loading animation on tabs never disapear as if its still loading.
[15:36] <bearophile> bazhang: :-) That's the menu.lst inside the directory created by supergrub
[15:37] <drash> beerfan: maybe not the nicest of proposals, but you might check that pulseaudio is checked in your autostart settings, logout and report back .. sorry things take a while with audio sometimes
[15:37] <beerfan> drash, ok very confused I have audio in my headphones plugged in the front but not on the speakers if headphones are unplugged. What does that mean?
[15:37] <dgts123> how can i print all users that belong to a specific group?
[15:37] <amenado> Itaku if you have the tools, then start the daemon that streams
[15:37] <ere> szaybus:  let me log out, brb
[15:37] <wers> for some reason, the fonts of texts on my firefox 3 beta 5 (on hardy) look like times new roman
[15:37] <Gruber> hey, I got a problem with my alsa-driver.. and now I'd just like to reset the whole thing and start from scratch (on the ALSA-part that is, really don't wanna reinstall everything again).. anyone know how I can get alsa up and running again?
[15:37] <amenado> dgts123-> grep groupname /etc/group
[15:37] <bearophile> bazhang: I presume you want the other, from the installed HD, then
[15:37] <bazhang> bearophile, did you sudo grub from livecd (ubuntu) that should get a grub prompt
[15:37] <wers> this is weird. any idea?
[15:37] <dgts123> thx amenado
[15:37] <crunchybumble> how can I determine if my USB thumbstick is being detected?
[15:37] <nu-tu-ubuntu> alsa ate my babies.
[15:38] <bearophile> bazhang: okay, I'll do that then, I'll have to reboot then..
[15:38] <drash> beerfan: that sounds like a config problem, i'm lost there i'm afraid
[15:38] <amenado> crunchybumble-> dmesg  and look near the very end
[15:38] <bazhang> nu-tu-ubuntu, interesting but offtopic
[15:38] <bearophile> bazhang: later.
[15:38] <bazhang> bearophile, wait
[15:38] <nu-tu-ubuntu> apologies :)
[15:38] <bazhang> oops
[15:38] <T1m0thy> Is there some fix for the Intel 3945 yet?

[15:40] <ere> szbalint:  do you remember the command to change my monitor name and resolution?
[15:40] <szaybus> clear the file, delete duplacate screen and device secions
[15:40] <beasty> any qt developpers inhere ?
[15:41] <szaybus> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:41] <tim167> bazhang: i did that, but still no luck.. E: couldn't find package fluxbox
[15:41] <bazhang> !info fluxbox
[15:41] <bazhang> tim167, enable universe repo
[15:41] <drash> beerfan: if you have some time, you might wanna check http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup, it's very detailed and explanatory. Got me out of a similar audio mess with better sound than ever before, worth the effort in my opinion. All the best.
[15:42] <szaybus> you can try that first then restart x
[15:42] <milos__> szaybus, i think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't wok any more for resolution in hardy
[15:42] <beerfan> drash, thanks. I got sound now. Not sure why. I'll check that out.
[15:42] <szaybus> i doubt he is using hardy
[15:42] <jel> cosole, virtual ttys, using framebuffer. how to change foreground color? current setting is unreadable
[15:42] <milos__> ok
[15:42] <Monstermunche> hey all
[15:43] <szaybus> hardy dosent keep anything in xorg.conf no more
[15:43] <drash> beerfan: great, one less thing
[15:43] <amenado> szaybus-> since when?
[15:43] <szaybus> that sux btw
[15:43] <szaybus> i dont have anything

[15:43] <milos__> yeah
[15:43] <yao> pleses tell me how to watch rmvb movies ?thank you very much!
[15:43] <SwedeMike> anyone have any hints how I can migrate all settings/passwords/cookies from my firefox2 on windows to firefox3b5 on ubuntu? FEBE that I found that does this, doesn't seem to work on 3b5
[15:43] <fatbrain> lol, in "Movie Player" I went to Preferences>Display and pressed "Reset to Default" and that gave me really crappy hue! how do I revert it to "normal"?
[15:43] <szaybus> the same with display
[15:43]  * delcoyote willdo
[15:44] <CescoAiel> My BCM5722 (driver TG3 on Dell PowerEdge T105 running Hardy) has a weird issue: if I reboot or remove/reload tg3 with cable connected, the network doesn't work, even though the system thinks it is up, and link is established. If I do same with network cable removed, and *then* connect, it works fine!
[15:44] <drash> SwedeMike: they're all text files, should be no problem copying them into a fresh profile (to be safe) and see what gives
[15:45] <amenado> CescoAiel-> what is tg3 driver for? what functionality?
[15:45] <erUSUL> amenado: is a network driver for ethernet
[15:45] <SwedeMike> drash: ff3 on ubuntu seems to store for instance cookies in a sqlite file
[15:45] <CescoAiel> Broadcom BCM57xx Trigon3 NIC driver
[15:45] <tim167> bazhang: ah ok, can you give me a hint how to enable universe repo from the commandline ? thanks!
[15:45] <erUSUL> amenado: GB i think
[15:46] <CescoAiel> erUSUL: correct!
[15:46] <amenado> erUSUL is gigabit supported yet in ubuntu?
[15:46] <erUSUL> CescoAiel: you should raise a bug report against the kerne on launchpad as it seems a kernel bug
[15:46] <bazhang> tim167, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment (remove # in front) universe then update
[15:46] <RAdams> err... here's a simple question. How do I tell if my laptop has bluetooth capability or not?
[15:46] <CescoAiel> erUSUL: I prolly should... *sigh*
[15:47] <ubuntu> I'm back, from the liveCD this time, and this is probably the file someone was asking me minutes ago: http://codepad.org/ony3jLFK
[15:47] <erUSUL> amenado: afaics many if not all GB ethernet chips has support and there is a bunch of 10Gb drivers too
[15:47] <amenado> RAdams-> umm you read the manual for it?
[15:47] <tim167> bazhang: many thanks
[15:47] <szaybus> how to downgrade xorg-server to version used in 7.04?
[15:47]  * CescoAiel is building a new server... quickest solution will prolly be putting in a realtek pci nic...  ;-)
[15:47] <bazhang> tim167, find it?
[15:47] <szaybus> or to any stable release?
[15:47] <erUSUL> amenado: my rt8169 works fine here ;) (no that i use it much though)
[15:47] <RAdams> amenado: that wouldn't help. it's not new, and this model came both with and without bluetooth
[15:48] <DjViper> bazhang: that tutorial didn't help one bit
[15:48] <_Andrew> I hope so otherwise I wonder how my linux gigabit router works.. hehe
[15:48] <amenado> erUSUL-> oh okay,I didnt know that..  ill be on the lookout for one, once i type fast enuff <wink>
[15:48] <bazhang> DjViper, who gave it to you
[15:48] <yao> how to install apache?
[15:48] <bazhang> RAdams, what about trying to connect with a bluetooth device then
[15:48]  * CescoAiel is going over to launchpad now
[15:48] <JoelAlejandro> yao: To install Apache, sudo apt-get install apache2
[15:49] <amenado> RAdams-> perhaps in the bios there maybe a clue? or some kind of blue led to indicate it is active?
[15:49] <bazzieb> does anyone here have a usefull SWAT howto document?
[15:49] <RAdams> bazhang... I don't have one :D and nope, no led, but like i said, this model came with and without bluetooth
[15:49] <yao> thank you!
[15:49] <RAdams> im just curious is all
[15:49] <bazhang> RAdams, :)
[15:49] <_Andrew> bazzieb, to me SWAT means so many different things..

[15:54] <JoelAlejandro> RAdams: Yes, it's an optical Mouse. I discard the chance of this being a hardware problem, as the mouse works perfectly in Windows XP.
[15:54] <livingdaylight> i'm told a text/html code plugin has to be installed?
[15:54] <RAdams> joelalejandro: does the laser come on when its plugged in?

[16:06] <erUSUL> bariga: no need to repeat ;P
[16:06] <bariga> i thougt this was the command to register your nick sorry :p
[16:06] <JoelAlejandro> RAdams: OK, I'll give it a shot and see what I can find.
[16:07] <Starnestommy> bariga: the actual command is /msg NickServ REGISTER your-password-here
[16:07] <askand> azhang:  ahaa I see, can I read about that somewhere?
[16:07] <randall1> how is e1 today
[16:07] <bariga> thx i've just found it on google to :)
[16:07] <bazhang> askand, it's a secret (shh!) gleaned from folks who work on ubuntu :)
[16:07] <bearophile> bazhang: the situation is a bit improved now: it boots and it shows the menu to choose the SO. But if I try to select Ubuntu it gives "Error 17: cannot mount selected partition". (Note that from ubuntuCD I can see that HD and it works, and it has the files installed)
[16:08] <ArmyMan007> hello
[16:08] <ArmyMan007> i'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on VMware, and Ubuntu won't detect my video card
[16:08] <bazhang> bearophile, then the listing for ubuntu in menu.lst may be off
[16:08] <weix> amenado, i found out what it was i cant believe i forgot it was webmin... just thought i would get back to ya.
[16:08] <ArmyMan007> is the problem with the Ubuntu or with the VMware?
[16:08] <bazhang> ArmyMan007, it has its own x
[16:08] <erUSUL> ArmyMan007: what video card does vmware "fakes" ??
[16:09] <ArmyMan007> um... anyway i can know that?
[16:09] <astro76> ArmyMan007: vmware will present a virtual (fake) card, you won't be able to actually see the real one
[16:09] <erUSUL> !webmin | weix
[16:09] <bazhang> ArmyMan007, no 3d in vmware
[16:09] <ArmyMan007> VMware uses VMware tools which "fakes" a video card
[16:09] <askand> bazhang: Haha ok, perhaps you could tell the people in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797212 eagerly waiting for rc1 to hit the repos :P
[16:09] <bazhang> askand, you should :)
[16:09] <ArmyMan007> so there is no way for me to get 3d support on VMware?
[16:09] <astro76> ArmyMan007: correct, no way
[16:10] <bazhang> ArmyMan007, correct
[16:10] <JoelAlejandro> RAdams: Hmmmm... Didn't find anything useful or readable (no French or Russian reader here =P)...
[16:10] <drash> ArmyMan007: that'(s a negative indeed
[16:10] <askand> bazhang: sure but theyll hate me, that is why I wanted something to refer to ;-)
[16:10] <ArmyMan007> and what if I use Virtual PC?
[16:10] <r2d2> http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto   << in this guide for vmware will i still need to apply the patch for the vmmon file on ubuntu 8.04 does anybody no ??
[16:10] <ArmyMan007> will that program use it?
[16:10] <Balachmar> anyone here knows how to fix an unstable wireless connection? my wifi usb dongle is wg111 v2
[16:10] <bearophile> bazhang: sorry, I don't understand what you mean (this is the updated (?) file:  http://codepad.org/Tu3nlBsv )
[16:10] <astro76> ArmyMan007: probably the same situation I'm sure
[16:10] <Broadcom> Balachmar: what wireless card?
[16:10] <ArmyMan007> astro76 -> any previous experience with this?
[16:10] <Balachmar> @Broadcom: Netgear WG111 v2

[16:11] <BIOSboiler> i upgraded my ubuntu and now the graphics and display are screwed up, what do i do?
[16:11] <JoelAlejandro>  I'm having trouble with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and my USB mouse. I'm using a HP530 Laptop. I have 2 USB devices: a Genius NetScroll 100 Mouse & a Huawei SmartAX MT810 modem. The modem and the mouse seems to conflict. Right now I can use the modem, but I can't move the mouse. Touchpad works perfectly. Any ideas?
[16:11] <ArmyMan007> I have wine installed
[16:11] <ArmyMan007> It's for games too but other programes as well that requires 3D support
[16:11] <erUSUL> BIOSboiler: define "screwed up" ? have you try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[16:11] <Balachmar> @Broadcom: I can't find it there, but it is a usb dongle
[16:11] <szaybus> BIOSboilder try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:12] <bazhang> bearophile, where is mbr? on a separate hdd?
[16:12] <szaybus> or reboot it rescuemode and choose xfix
[16:12] <ArmyMan007> and anyhow, does Ubuntu have it's own kind of "DirectX"?
[16:12] <bazhang> opengl ArmyMan007
[16:12] <szaybus> xfix works for me but its a one-time solution - i have to do it every time

[16:14] <bearophile> bazhang: I have 3 HD drives, two of them have WinXP on them, and they are in RAID 1 (mirror), I presume the mbr is on them. Then I have a third HD where I am trying to install Ubuntu. if you need more info you may want to tell me where to find such information :-)

[16:14] <ArmyMan007> bazhang -> meaning?
[16:14] <weix> bazhang, and im doin it wrong lol
[16:14] <drash> AamirM: not by default, but everything is available as long as you activate the 'sources' repo's in your sources.list
[16:15] <bazhang> bearophile, if the mbr is on another drive than there then that may be the source of your issue

[16:18] <txap> , nothing. Any ideas?.

[16:41] <axisys> bazhang: i was in overseas using wired.. now back to US and like to use my wireless again
[16:41] <astro76> phenom_: if they are modules then it's a moot point, just don't load the module
[16:41] <bearophile> erUSUL: tried it, this is the result:  http://codepad.org/D3sdJn2z   (e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb )
