[01:48] <Flannel> shane2peru, shree_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29  see the list of clients supporting it, about half are for linux
[01:48] <djlenoir> cky: Well it did not work. I guess I will try the next step, reinstall Ubuntu on the first PATA drive. Unless you have any ideas?
[01:48] <cky> bigtimer121: I still can't find any Broadcom. :-( So unfortunately the system doesn't think you have a Broadcom, so I don't know how to help further. :-(
[01:48] <Shadow420> voil  whats worng with the nvidia driver
[01:49] <shree_> shane2peru, i ahd a problem with all of them
[01:49] <cky> djlenoir: Let me see...do you have /boot in a separate partition, or is everything in one partition?
[01:49] <Laser88> voi1: what's ur question?
[01:49] <voi1> if I install from the repos, then after reboot, I get a black screen. Nothing I do fixes it. I had to reinstall ubuntu
[01:49] <aphan9> littlerhody, i just installed the latest ubuntu release, how do i check to see if i have latest repositories
[01:49] <bigtimer121> cky: thanks. you don't have any idea on how to fix that
[01:49] <shree_> kopete doesnt seemt o have the voice chat feature
[01:49] <salcho> i'm installing ubuntu 7.04 but it can't install grub con hd0. my HD is mounted on /dev/sda, shall I install it in (sda) then? (the grub)
[01:49] <nith> aphan9: "sudo aptitude update" will update them to the newest
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> voi1 No need to reinstall.. manually reconfigure the xorg.conf
[01:49] <djlenoir> cky: Ubuntu set it up. All on one drive. I believe there is a partition for the OS and another for the swap file.
[01:50] <voi1> already reinstalled, haven';t gone to the repos thisthis time yet
[01:50] <Shadow420> aphan you get the latest repos for each release of ubuntu
[01:50] <Shadow420> aphan9 you get the latest repos for each release of ubuntu
[01:50] <erealz> hey their everyone I have a question about apache im trying to make it public some anyone outside can view my site but something blocking access ?! my port forward my router
[01:50] <voi1> (I tried going to Kubuntu to see if that fixed it, but it didn't
[01:50] <bulazeem> anyone know how to turn off usb devices when you power off your pc?
[01:50] <Laser88> aphan9: sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:50] <cky> djlenoir: For all-in-one-partition setups, if you have a very large hard drive, your BIOS must support LBA mode.
[01:50] <bmk789_> is there any reasonable way to setup a compute cluster in ubuntu?
[01:51] <cky> djlenoir: I mention this because 1. you say your computer is older, and 2. the GRUB FAQ mentioned it.
[01:51] <nith> erealz: can your site be seen in your lan?
[01:51] <shree_> shane2peru, freeswitch and telepathy gabble are only the framework,
[01:51] <cky> djlenoir: But, wait, it did work with no PATA drives. Let me rethink that.
[01:51] <salcho> i'm installing ubuntu 7.04 but it can't install grub con hd0. my HD is mounted on /dev/sda, shall I install it in (sda) then? (the grub)
[01:51] <aphan9> wow, thanks for the help everyone, didnt know i would get this much help; however, the problem is i'm trying to connect to the internet on my computer, however it can only do it via wireless
[01:51] <Laser88> bulazeem: when the pc is shutdown, the usb devices are not mounted - u can remove them
[01:51] <djlenoir> cky: It recognizes the drives fine. I had 7.10 running on this same system for months. It appears that 8.04 does not like it as much though.
[01:51] <erealz> yea
[01:51] <shree_> shane2peru, jabbin doesnt support amd64
[01:51] <dassouki> !twinview
[01:51] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[01:51] <shane2peru> shree_, I really don't know much about google talk, I don't use it, I was just surprised there was such a thing
[01:52] <adam_> #maemo
[01:52] <aphan9> its too far away from router for a cable to reach to it
[01:52] <erealz> I mean I can see it locally on my box
[01:52] <shree_> shane2peru, hmmm
[01:52] <cky> bigtimer121: No, sorry. I wish you good luck, but from the sounds of things the system did not detect your wireless at all. Just for my curiosity, which model of laptop do you have? It sounds like an HP/Compaq model where you had to use noapic.
[01:52] <nith> salcho: grub needs to be on your master drive, if sda is your master drive, then yes
[01:52] <bulazeem> Laser88 my hard drive stays on and it's in a really hard spot to remove.  would it cause any harm to just leave it on all the time?
[01:52] <erealz> according to nmap aport 80 is open
[01:52] <cky> djlenoir: Ah!!
[01:52] <SpookyET> How do you make Hardy look like Gutsy to the update manager to force it to update again?
[01:52] <LainIwakura> unop: I don't have a .bash_profile nor do I know how to add an xset command. Is there an easier way to have my session from xset fp+ everytime I restart X?
[01:52] <salcho> bulazeem: thx, i'll try it now
[01:52] <arvind_khadri> salcho, are you having winodws too
[01:52] <DistroJockey> djlenoir: does your  /etc/fstab  list those PATA drives? If so, comment them out. (should help)
[01:52] <amenado> aphan9-> can you elaborate on your network layout?
[01:52] <shree_> shane2peru, A quick question,Do you type out my name everytime you reply to me
[01:53] <danbhfive> SpookyET: I can through some commands at ya
[01:53] <salcho> sorry, not bulazeem but nith
[01:53] <unop> LainIwakura, use ~/.bashrc
[01:53] <salcho> xD
[01:53] <black_13> is there a graphical tool to configure eth0
[01:53] <djlenoir> DistroJockey: I will check and try that
[01:53] <bigtimer121> cky: you have guessed right. its a shitty compaq presario v6000
[01:53] <shane2peru> shree_, first three letters then tab. :)
[01:53] <nith> SpookyET: the answer is /etc/apt/sources.list but I'd heavily advise against it
[01:53] <thenetduck> can anyone here help me get my mic working/
[01:53] <InfernoX222> !paste
[01:53] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[01:53] <ole> Hi. I have been trying to figure out how to automate the answer of the Ubuntu 8.04 installation without success. Is it possible to automate these questions with preseed files?
[01:53] <thenetduck> working?
[01:53] <unop> LainIwakura, or ~/.profile ( you can create these it if it doesn't exist )
[01:53] <shree_> shane2peru: cool
[01:53] <erealz> my router alredy had an http service forwarding in the menue so I I dout it the router
[01:53] <bigtimer121> cky: :(
[01:53] <SpookyET> danbhfive: i modified lsb-release and the meta stuff
[01:53] <bmk789_> is there any reasonable way to setup a compute cluster in ubuntu?
[01:53] <SpookyET> nith: broken update
[01:53] <shree_> shane2peru: i have been trynig all day long
[01:53] <cky> djlenoir: Hey, did you get around to rerunning grub-install? I think from the error message it can't even find menu.lst yet....
[01:53] <amenado> !who
[01:53] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[01:53] <cky> bigtimer121: Bummer. :-(
[01:53] <LainIwakura> unop: Do I simply add the line "xset fp+ $HOME/.fonts" anywhere?
[01:53] <shree_> shane2peru: never caught up with a solution
[01:54] <danbhfive> SpookyET: well, thats over my head, I was going to suggest some apt-get commands
[01:54] <unop> LainIwakura, sure, on a line of it's own tho
[01:54] <shree_> shane2peru: there is actually solution for GNOME
[01:54] <Laser88> bulazeem: normally it doesn't harm a hard drive - anyway better than turning on and off a lot of times. But there should be a solution *thinking*
[01:54] <xyzpaw> i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. Keeps giving me the error: Couldn't display "obex:/
[01:54] <LainIwakura> unop: Thank you.
[01:54] <shree_> shane2peru: but i dont want to install gnome too
[01:54] <nith> SpookyET: good luck. the update managers all use /etc/apt/sources.list where to look. then do a "sudo aptitude update" to grab the newest list
[01:54] <frankg> just installed off of cd -- then did sudo apt-get upgrade -- it didn't download anything - does that sound right?
[01:54] <the_darkside_986> is anyone else using single-core processor with Hardy and noticing a crippling lag of everything in the system?
[01:54] <shane2peru> shree_, for googletalk, hmm, sorry as I said, I really don't know anything about it, and I"m a gnomer. :)
[01:54] <xyzpaw> i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: Couldn't display "obex:/
[01:54] <aphan9> i have a two computers, one(XP) next to router downstairs and one(Ubuntu) in my bedroom upstairs plus a laptop
[01:54] <shree_> shane2peru: do you have any idea how i can install the gnome app in kde
[01:54] <SpookyET> ninth: they use more than that
[01:55] <thenetduck> any takers?
[01:55] <SpookyET> nith: I'll need the old one
[01:55] <aphan9> amenado, i have a two computers, one(XP) next to router downstairs and one(Ubuntu) in my bedroom upstairs plus a laptop
[01:55] <arvind_khadri> shree_, for google talk use pidgin :)
[01:55] <shane2peru> I think using adept you should be able to install them, using gnome apps in KDE and vice versa is fine.
[01:55] <nith> SpookyET: I don't understand
[01:55] <shree_> shane2peru: well, that supports only IM
[01:55] <cky> shree_: You need to install the GNOME libraries to run GNOME apps. But you don't need to install GNOME.  It keeps giving me the error: Couldn't display "obex:/
[01:55] <thenetduck> just one mic .. .
[01:55] <chdst> When installing Hardy using the amd64 alternate CD, CD Verification fails. I've burnt two for good measure, each from an md5sum verified iso. I am unable to install as a result.
[01:55] <arvind_khadri> shree_, for installing kde apps jus enable universe and sudo apt-get install appname
[01:55] <Laser88> bulazeem: butz never thought of that, as I'm using a multiple plug that disconnects all power when the PC is shutdown (excuse my English)
[01:56] <thenetduck> I need to get my mic working.. I am using a lenovo think pad
[01:56] <tgm4883_laptop> can anyone help me get the ati driver (open source) to do an external monitor
[01:56] <shane2peru> shree_, hmm, not sure that I can be of much help. sorry.
[01:56] <djlenoir> cky: I did not run grub-install.
[01:56] <SpookyET> nith: Upgrade failed. I need to run the update-manager again. Therefore I need it to think it's gutsy running.
[01:56] <cky> chdst: Did you MD5 verify the burnt CD afterwards?
[01:56] <thenetduck> does anyone know or have a mic and know how I can get this working
[01:56] <xyzpaw> ive upgraded to 8.04 i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: "Couldn't display "obex:/"
[01:56] <LainIwakura> f/exit
[01:56] <chdst> cky: Yep
[01:56] <chdst> cky: Both of them, in fact. :)
[01:56] <cky> djlenoir: It's worth a try, But, pastebin me the contents of your device.map, first.
[01:56] <danbhfive> SpookyET: well, I think I'm gona sign off actually, unless you want my help, Im off
[01:56] <shree_> shane2peru: someone else ont this channel should me help me get that gnome appl,ication installed on my kde
[01:56] <xyzpaw> ive upgraded to 8.04 i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: "Couldn't display "obex:/"
[01:56] <djlenoir> cky: The changes we made took effect though because it said drive does not exist when I tried to boot this time. Had to edit the boot option to 0,0 to boot
[01:56] <SpookyET> danbhfive: i don't
[01:56] <shree_> shane2peru: i have not tried that so far
[01:56] <arvind_khadri> shree_, i can!!!
[01:56] <shree_> arvind_khadri: thanks man
[01:57] <bulazeem> Laser88 maybe i should do the same.  your english is fine, i just appreciate the help
[01:57] <nith> SpookyET: right, but the sources file between gutsy and hardy only differ by those words, they're hosted in the same place as far as I know
[01:57] <xyzpaw> ive upgraded to 8.04 i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: "Couldn't display "obex:/"
[01:57] <arvind_khadri> shree_, i have been screaming from that time :)
[01:57] <cky> chdst: Geez. :-(
[01:57] <nith> SpookyET: that said, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all instances of "hardy" to gutsy. Alternatively, you could just try to update again
[01:57] <SpookyET> nith: more files are modified though. /etc/lsb-release  some stuff in /var
[01:57] <arvind_khadri> shree_, ok so you want to use gtalk??
[01:57] <xyzpaw> ive upgraded to 8.04 i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: "Couldn't display "obex:/"
[01:57] <xyzpaw> ive upgraded to 8.04 i still cant get my bluetooth mouse connected. It keeps giving me the error: "Couldn't display "obex:/"
[01:57] <the_darkside_986> I'm having a troublesome clean install of Hardy heron. is anyone else using single-core processor with Hardy and noticing a crippling lag of everything in the system?
[01:57] <cky> djlenoir: Oh! So 0,0 _does_ work! Okay, so you can revert the changes to menu.lst (and re-run update-grub) then.
[01:57] <Laser88> bulazeem: easiest way
[01:58] <nith> SpookyET: I'd advise trying to update again long before trying to revert. I've no clue how any of the tools will handle that
[01:58] <cky> djlenoir: This is what gets interesting. GRUB has three loaders, stage1, stage1.5, and stage2. Trying to work out how each stage maps drives is tricky.
[01:58] <shree_> arvind_khadri: yes i want to have gtalk kinda voice chat on my kde
[01:58] <shree_> arvind_khadri: have u tried this b4
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> the_darkside_986 disable all effects and see if it doesnt come back to life
[01:58] <cky> djlenoir: The menu.lst is used by stage2. So obviously stage2 does get the drive mapping "right".
[01:58] <djlenoir> cky: Well 0,0 does work as long as the two PATA drives are disabled.
[01:58] <AmyRose> Is there a splash screen in Hardy's GNOME?
[01:58] <Laser88> the_darkside_986: not at all - hardy is faster than feisty
[01:58] <djlenoir> cky: it is showing 1.5
[01:58] <cky> djlenoir: Ah, of course, sorry.
[01:58] <ienorand> Whatt's the thing that handles mounting from the fstab config??
[01:58] <arvind_khadri> shree_, well see in GNOME AFAIK no client has voice support ...
[01:59] <djlenoir> cky: where the error is occuring
[01:59] <SpookyET> nith: It's not the sources file. THere is some file that tells the manager it's running gutsy. I need to modify that
[01:59] <shree_> what about Landell, Ereseva
[01:59] <arvind_khadri> shree_, and in KDE kopete supports it,teah
[01:59] <shree_> arvind_khadri:
[01:59] <tgm4883_laptop> are there any known bugs with the open source ati driver and dual monitors?
[01:59] <the_darkside_986> well, I have compiz disabled and I am even killing trackerd. but everything is still painfully laggy
[01:59] <cky> djlenoir: I have realised that, eventually. :-P So yes, any fixes have to happen via grub-install, not via menu.lst.
[01:59] <shree_> arvind_khadri: ok to put it in place you say that kopete supports voice chat
[01:59] <shree_> arvind_khadri: rite
[01:59] <arvind_khadri> shree_, yeah
[01:59] <Cey22> I have a serious problem.  When I try to choose Ubuntu when booting up my PC, it brings me into "Busybox" and gives me some commands.  I think I installed something wrong, and just want to get back into Ubuntu
[02:00] <Laser88> the_darkside_986: what says top?
[02:00] <arvind_khadri> shree_, not sure as am a GNOMER
[02:00] <Nith> SpookyET: If that's true then your issue is long above me. I've never heard of any file that says which version of ubuntu except the sources
[02:00] <cky> djlenoir: Apparently there is a way to prepare a GRUB floppy (if your computer has a floppy drive) so that it can have the same view of your drive mapping as the stage1.5.
[02:00] <plinde> can anyone explain the difference between relatime and noatime? i read in the wiki for the eeepc that you should use noatime to preserve the SSD. but noatime crippled my machine. i went back to relatime and its fast again
[02:00] <AgentHeX> i can't get any addons to work with Firefox 2.0 in hardy
[02:00] <cky> You can then use the GRUB floppy to update your hard drive's partition table.
[02:00] <shree_> arvind_khadri: i dont see a option to go o na voice chat in my kopete
[02:00] <azuki> I suppose then when upgrading to hardy it will keep my settings?.. (e.g. desktop & mount files
[02:00] <azuki> )
[02:00] <Cey22> neither 'exit' nor 'quit' will get me out of busybox
[02:00] <azuki> ?
[02:00] <SpookyET> Nith: /etc/lsb-release for one
[02:00] <AmyRose> shree_: Try #kubuntu
[02:00] <cky> djlenoir: You can then use the GRUB floppy to update your hard drive's MBR, rather. :-P
[02:00] <arvind_khadri> shree_, oh ok ... try the help option in that
[02:00] <Laser88> AgentHeX: sry, but ff2 is running out...
[02:00] <chdst> cky: Also memtested in the freakishly remote chance that I was being lied to on the MD5. Some more info, though...the installer complains that it can't find a particular file. In the installer environment, as well as right now in a working OS, I can see that file and as best as my eyes can diff it appears to be the same file the installer's asking for. Anyways, I'll keep poking at it.
[02:00] <crdlb> the_darkside_986: do you have xserver-xgl installed?
[02:00] <ienorand> What's the package/process that handles mounting according to the fstab config, specifically for NTFS?
[02:01] <shree_> AmyRose: kubuntu, i am using kubuntu
[02:01] <cky> chdst: *nods* How bizarre....
[02:01] <shree_> AmyRose: rasther kubuntu-desktop
[02:01] <alphakamp> Anyone try installing the demo for Penumbra
[02:01] <alphakamp> ??
[02:01] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i'm aware of this, but i will use FF2 until they fix the god-awful fonts in FF3 beta
[02:01] <shree_> arvind_khadri: help option in??
[02:01] <cky> ienorand: ntfs-3g
[02:01] <Kilgariff> I just set up a uShare server for my PS3, does anyone know of a client I could use on my Ubuntu PC to play the media?
[02:01] <arvind_khadri> shree_, in kopete
[02:01] <the_darkside_986> what does xserver-xgl do exactly? also the kinit startup is very slow as well
[02:02] <the_darkside_986> i've got nvidia drivers enabled
[02:02] <AmyRose> shree_: I'm asking you to try going to the Kubuntu channel by typing /join #kubuntu
[02:02] <shree_> arvind_khadri: i am looking through it
[02:02] <arvind_khadri> shree_, :)
[02:02] <cky> djlenoir: I'm trying to see how to prepare one of those things, but it's tedious, hence if running grub-install with the right device.map works, that will save you some work.
[02:02] <crdlb> the_darkside_986: it is used to make compiz run on hardware whose drivers don't natively support it
[02:02] <Laser88> AgentHeX: awful fonts? I use my own fonts...
[02:02] <crdlb> the_darkside_986: if you have it installed, uninstall it
[02:02] <shree_> AmyRose: thanks for that idea. i will try that
[02:02] <ienorand> cky: right, and if I have options like: UUID=42901B26901B2049 /media/hda1     ntfs    defaults,umask=027,gid=46 0       1
[02:02] <the_darkside_986> it is not installed already
[02:02] <AgentHeX> Laser88: the fonts in FF3 are huge and screw up alignment on a lot of web pages
[02:03] <Laser88> AgentHeX: but that's not the solution to your question, I know
[02:03] <ienorand> cky: nobody should be able to write but root?
[02:03] <yoursfaithfully> AgentHeX: do you have any example pages?  I'd like to see this.

[02:04] <XceII> sry
[02:04] <askvictor> how can I change the default permissions on an automounted FAT usb drive? By default it seems to be 700, but I want 755 or 750

[02:04] <vpalle> jrib, thx
[02:04] <the_darkside_986> i think there is something wrong with this version of the kernel... the whole system is slow, not just Xorg. Gutsy wasn't like this. Even the hardy CD wasn't like this. i don't think it is a hard drive problem because XP works the same as it always did.
[02:04] <djlenoir> cky: Just verified that the PATA drives were not listed in /etc/fstab. They are not listed. I will try grub-install and see if that helps. Will is help if the PATA drives are not currently enabled though? I am not sure I can do it if I can't enable those drives.
[02:04] <Amiub> Ola
[02:04] <yns88> Hey, I'm running the Hardy Heron beta and I'm having trouble accessing updates
[02:04] <yoursfaithfully> AgentHeX: the main page looks fine to me, running FF3
[02:04] <yns88> I keep getting (111 Connection Refused) when I do apt-get update
[02:04] <arvind_khadri> the_darkside_986, use the new one from kernel.org
[02:04] <XceII> lol ainus
[02:04] <djlenoir> cky: Got the link, thanks. I will try that next if the grub-install does not help.
[02:05] <cky> djlenoir: Okay then, then make a GRUB floppy, enable the PATA drives, and give it a whirl.
[02:05] <Laser88> http://www.okcupid.com looks great in ff3
[02:05] <jrib> yns88: try a mirror
[02:05] <ienorand> cky: so should it say "..._ntfs-3g_    defaults,umask=027..." instead?
[02:05] <alanbshepard70> first off if I'm asking this in the wrong place forgive me and please correct me. If I right click an archive and choose the encrypt option and encrypt the file with a key I generated previously can the file only be decrypted by me on this machine? What I'm really wanting to know is if I have to reinstall ubuntu and want to decrypt a file I had created and encrypted on a previous install will I be sucessful?
[02:05] <yns88> jrib: what command would I use for that?
[02:05] <LainIwakura> Hello, many of the files in my $HOME directory or ~/ are owned by root. How did this happen and how do I prevent this from happening in the future? If I sudo nano a file in $HOME, does it become owned by root? Thanks for your help.
[02:05] <cky> ienorand: Yes. And yes, the umask should work too.
[02:05] <arpu> hi
[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> XceII Please dont do that
[02:05] <jrib> yns88: system -> adiministration -> software sources,  look for the option about mirrors
[02:05] <shree_> arvind_khadri: hey arvind, there doesnt seem any help over there too
[02:05] <the_darkside_986> is it safe to add alternate kernels in grub's list, in Ubuntu Hardy?
[02:05] <Cey22> is there a way to access my files in Ubuntu from vista?
[02:05] <XceII> Hey, multiple sound brokerage in 8.04 is there a fix?
[02:05] <arpu> how can i fix this ? *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
[02:05] <cky> ienorand: You need to have the ntfs-3g package installed too. But the manpage seems to think that will work.
[02:05] <ole> Hi. Does anyone know who to use the answer from a Ubuntu installation to automate further installations? I have tried creating a preseeding file but I haven't figured out what exactly to but in it. I tried using the "debconf-get-selections --installer" but it returned an error. Anyone have a suggestion?
[02:05] <shree_> arvind_khadri: in the kubuntu channel, i have been told that it is not possible currently
[02:05] <arpu> firefox beta 3 ubuntu hardy
[02:06] <shree_> arvind_khadri: but can be done by installing the gnome app
[02:06] <arvind_khadri> shree_, yah thats true as i know of no  client that supports vioce chat
[02:06] <towlie> has anyone had problems when upgrading from gutsy to hardy ?
[02:06] <XceII> I apologize
[02:06] <arpu> /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart does not help
[02:06] <jrib> LainIwakura: you shouldn't need to sudo anything when using files in your ~
[02:06] <arvind_khadri> shree_, which one??
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:06] <Laser88> LainIwakura: never do anything as root in your home - the owner will be root

[02:06] <nibsa1242b_> can anyone help me figure out how to record audio from a mic in hardy?
[02:06] <jrib> towlie: you'll probably get more help if you ask a more specific question or state your problem exactly
[02:06] <LainIwakura> jrib: Okay, thanks.
[02:07] <shree_> arvind_khadri: the ladnell, ereseva options
[02:07] <yoursfaithfully> towlie: The only problem I had was that my patched MadWifi driver needed to be reinstalled.  Fortunately, I kept the patched source, and it was quite simple to reinstall.
[02:07] <LainIwakura> Laser88: Thank you.
[02:07] <Cey22> AgentHex: then hold down alt and scroll out
[02:07] <towlie> jrib i dont know where to begin with problems ive experienced since upgrading to hardy
[02:07] <ienorand> cky: yea, I was able to unmount an mount through ntfs-3g using that, and get my permissions sorted. But do I have to change it to ntfs-3g to get it working on boot?
[02:07] <arvind_khadri> shree_, never heard of it :p
[02:07] <arvind_khadri> shree_, lemme check it out
[02:07] <cky> ienorand: I believe so.
[02:07] <jrib> towlie: start with the one that's the most important to you
[02:07]  * flyback would like to thank everyone who has been a good friend to him over the yrs'
[02:07] <towlie> ok performance is extremely slow
[02:07] <AgentHeX> cey22: i know that trick.  already tried it.
[02:08] <askvictor> Cey22: try explore2fs; I think there's a couple of others as well (they work in XP, dunno about vista)
[02:08] <howapt> lolcats
[02:08] <jrib> towlie: do you understand what I mean by "specific"?
[02:08] <yoursfaithfully> towlie: Do you have an ATI video card?
[02:08] <Laser88> AgentHeX: strg + - for minor fonts or strg + 0 for normal fonts
[02:08]  * Scrounch is now away: off
[02:08] <towlie> jrib alt tab window switching s really delayed by a few seconds
[02:08] <jrib> !away > Scrounch (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:08] <Cey22> askvictor: thanks
[02:08] <towlie> yoursfaithfully, yes
[02:08] <AgentHeX> laser88: strg?
[02:08] <nibsa1242b_> can anyone help me figure out how to record audio from a mic in hardy?
[02:08] <SeaPhor> Thank You CJS3141  !!! you saved my life!!
[02:08] <the_darkside_986> Is Ubuntu Hardy stuck with the same kernel for the next 6 months? I can't make any sense of this kernel.org site, I need massive 100+ MB kernels not "patches"
[02:08] <ienorand> cky: right... odd thing that it worked in Gutsy but not in Hardy... don't remeber fstab having "ntfs-3g" there then...
[02:08] <yoursfaithfully> towlie: I believe some ATI card drivers have been "blacklisted" in Heron - that might be the problem
[02:09] <yns88> jrib: There are still two packages that refuse to download no matter what source I choose
[02:09] <towlie> jrib the graphics are glitchy where i see diaganol lines
[02:09] <jrib> yns88: pastebin the errors
[02:09] <arvind_khadri> shree_, whats  the package name
[02:09] <Laser88> AgentHeX: the key "strg" on your keyboard
[02:09] <chdst> Just did this jobbie again:  `md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v 'OK$'`, and yet the ubuntu installer thinks it's not a good CD. I'm so confused.
[02:09] <jrib> towlie: ask the channel, I don't about that
[02:09] <Turbo> Hey there, I'm trying to get my WLan working in Hardy. But I can't access the restricted drivers manager because hardy freezes all the time... So can I add the res. driver manually?
[02:09] <Laser88> and at the same time "-" or "0"
[02:09] <cky> ienorand: Funny you mention that. It seems /sbin/mount.ntfs and /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g both link to the same file. :-P
[02:09] <panfist> i'm trying to add a custom context menu item with Nautilus Actions...if it's not working right where would the error output go?
[02:09] <AgentHeX> laser88: uh...  *looks for strg key* is that next to the "any" key?
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> the_darkside_986 kernels come out as needed,working and tested... If you have special needs then you can compile your own.
[02:09] <yns88> jrib: http://pastebin.com/d4859cc25
[02:09] <crdlb> AgentHeX: ctrl
[02:10] <AgentHeX> crdlb: i know.  i'm messing with him
[02:10] <cky> ienorand: So in that case, ntfs will work just fine too.   The burn may have created errors
[02:10] <cky> ienorand: "driver" meant in a very loose sense. :-P
[02:10] <Turbo> Hey there, I'm trying to get my WLan working in Hardy. But I can't access the restricted drivers manager because hardy freezes all the time... So can I add the res. driver manually?
[02:10] <Laser88> AgentHeX: u know? is there a difference to German keyboards?
[02:10] <jrib> yns88: why is packages.dfreer.org in your repository list?
[02:10] <ienorand> cky: right, gonna test with 3g then, know if it's possible to do some "light" reboot, to test things like this?
[02:11] <AgentHeX> Laser88: yep.
[02:11] <crdlb> towlie: please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:11] <Turbo> Is this question right in this channel?
[02:11] <chdst> jrib: I'm running this for files on the burned CD, not the ISO.
[02:11] <shree_> arvind_khadri: i think it si landell or ereseva
[02:11] <yns88> I'm not sure
[02:11] <arvind_khadri> shree_, the package is in a development stat
[02:11] <jrib> chdst: not with the command you pasted
[02:11] <cky> Sure. Just umount the device, then mount it again. Using only the name specified in /dev/fstab.
[02:11] <Laser88> ctrl is the arrow up - below that
[02:11] <arvind_khadri> shree_, the package name is ereseva
[02:11] <djlenoir> cky: Is this correct to run grub-install? sudo grub-install hda
[02:11] <chdst> jrib: The command I pasted has no context, you're making an assumption.
[02:11] <ienorand> ah, simplistic....
[02:11] <cky> ienorand: Sure. Just umount the device, then mount it again. Using only the name specified in /dev/fstab. (i.e., without using -t or -o or anything else)
[02:11] <jrib> chdst: I am.
[02:12] <shree_> is it the same about landell
[02:12] <amenado> Turbo-> your new install is freezing all the time?
[02:12] <jrib> chdst: you should probably try burning it at 2x
[02:12] <yns88> actually, thanks for pointing that out, jrib. It was something I was trying to install earlier that was screwing all this up
[02:12] <cky> djlenoir: I think you can try "grub-install '(hd2)'" or "grub-install /dev/sda"
[02:12] <davelee> mornin
[02:12]  * calc wonders if the freezing people are seeing is due to bad network drivers of some sort
[02:12] <davelee> say
[02:13] <Cey22> I have a serious problem. When I try to choose Ubuntu when booting up my PC, it brings me into "Busybox" and gives me some commands. I think I installed something wrong, and just want to get back into Ubuntu
[02:13] <nibsa1242b_> can anyone help me figure out how to record audio from a Mic (in Hardy)? I can't figure out why when I press the record button in various applications (like Audacity) I get no sound.
[02:13] <davelee> I've just upgraded to Heron 8.04 and can't get audio running
[02:13] <XceII> theguyfromboston.com says Ubuntu Rocks
[02:13] <djlenoir> cky: Ok thanks.
[02:13] <davelee> alsactl shows no devices
[02:13] <pen> anyone get the avant-window-navigator update yet?
[02:13] <davelee> (worked on 7.10)
[02:13]  * calc has often heard about freezes regarding using torrents in particular (Which uses lots of tcp connections, etc)
[02:13] <davelee> i have an intel onboard ac97 thingo
[02:13] <shangoob> Firefox 3.0b5 a memory hog - anyone else share this experience?
[02:13] <arvind_khadri> shree_, ok lets set installing it
[02:13] <davelee> ff3 is supposed to fix the memory leak FF was famous for
[02:13] <davelee> should use less memory
[02:13] <Turbo> amenado: it's not the install that freezes, it's installed, but as soon as I click on a icon in the menu...
[02:13] <calc> shangoob: seems less so than ff2, but it has always been a hog IMHO
[02:14] <davelee> so
[02:14] <larson9999> shangoob, then you'll REALLY hate ff2
[02:14] <davelee> can anyone gimme some ideas?
[02:14] <chdst> jrib: This CD has passed verification at every level, including an md5sum verification of the files on the burnt CD against the included record of known good md5sums. How will burning slower fix my problem?
[02:14] <twinkie_addict> run opra ?
[02:14] <calc> shangoob: i've seen FF2 use over 1GB ram
[02:14] <ienorand> cky: hm, so I just do "sudo mount/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 then?
[02:14] <punzada> ff3b5 works fine for me, and seems much more responsive, it'll randomly kill itself when loading certain flash content though ;x
[02:14] <shangoob> actually had no probs with FF2 before Hardy
[02:14] <shree_> arvind_khadri: yup i am looking at installing the gnome libraries for that first hand. that is what i am doing on kubumtu channel :)
[02:14] <cky> ienorand: No, just "sudo mount /media/hda1".
[02:14] <yoursfaithfully> davelee: Did you check your audio card model number to see if there are driver issues?
[02:14] <jrib> chdst: you just stated it did not pass verification from the option when you boot the cd...
[02:14] <ienorand> cky: aha
[02:14] <amenado> Turbo-> really? you did try the liveCd before permanently installing?
[02:14] <cky> ienorand: If that works, that's enough to know that it will work again at bootup.
[02:14] <shangoob> FF3 uses over 99% cpu on this 3yr laptop
[02:15] <calc> shangoob: if you have many FF extensions turning them off might lower your memory usage
[02:15] <davelee> yoursfaithfully: well - it works under every other OS i've used including ubuntu 7.10. SHould i still check ?
[02:15] <shree_> arvind_khadri: can you find it in your apt-cache search result
[02:15] <arvind_khadri> shree_, no need for that jus enable the universe in sources.list the necessary files come automagiclly
[02:15] <XceII> Ya,dats rite, ive had a few bers, so fkn what, Ubuntu rocks, U gota problem wid dat?
[02:15] <arvind_khadri> shree_, nope i cant find it :(
[02:16] <chdst> jrib: I actually didn't...sorry about that. I said that the ubuntu installer doesn't think my CD's good, but md5 verifications done to the burn have all succeeded.
[02:16]  * Laser88 has atm 3 windows of ff3 with about 40 tabs and no probs
[02:16] <f0g> How can I get beryl working on Hardy?
[02:16] <davelee> so ....
[02:16] <shree_> arvind_khadri: :)
[02:16] <davelee> sound ....
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !beryl > f0g
[02:16] <yoursfaithfully> davelee: It might be a good idea.  There was a problem with my laptop audio limited to recent Ubuntu distros - headphone jack awareness didn't work, neither did the mic - I just needed to patch ALSA and re-install
[02:16] <jrib> chdst: okay, I guess there's a misunderstanding.  When you boot from the cd, there's an option to "verify the integrity of the cd" (or something similar).  Have you tried that?
[02:16] <_derspankster> chdst: try another drive?
[02:16] <f0g> !compiz
[02:16] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[02:16] <nibsa1242b_> can anyone help me figure out how to record audio from a Mic (in Hardy)? I can't figure out why when I press the record button in various applications (like Audacity) I get no sound.
[02:16] <Laser88> f0g: there's no beryl in hardy - try compiz-fusion
[02:16] <Nith> f0g: compiz fusion is a murge between compiz and beryl projects.
[02:16] <chdst> Sure did. That fails.
[02:16] <djlenoir> cky: Ran grub-install using /dev/sda and it ran fine. The menu.lst contents are (hd0) /dev/sda, (hd1) /dev/sdb, (hd2) /dev/sdc, (hd3) /dev/sdd
[02:17] <Turbooster> amenado: sorry mirc disconnected
[02:17] <chdst> When I manually check the sums, though, it succeeds.
[02:17] <jrib> chdst: okay, then burn the cd slower.  It's common that people need to burn it at 2-4x
[02:17] <chdst> That is specifically my problem.
[02:17] <cky> djlenoir: Didn't we somehow establish that stage1.5 is treating hd0 as your PATA drives instead? *shrug*
[02:17] <Nith> f0g: in ubuntu, it's "desktop effects" which is available in system->preferences->appearance
[02:17] <XceII> !!!! Compiz fkn Rocks pal, get it rite..k?
[02:17] <cky> djlenoir: I thought that was why we were swapping things around, or maybe this _is_ swapped around, in which case you should be good to go.
[02:17] <davelee> yoursfaithfully: where do i check? i don't even know specifically the model number
[02:18] <AgentHeX> Laser88: alright. ff3 is acting nicer (but not really as familiar as ff2), but here's what i was seeing before:  http://agenthex.com/images/random/ff3-issue/

[02:19] <AgentHeX> Laser88: got it?
[02:19] <nibsa1242b_> Alright I guess I'll just have to record sound in windows since no one can help me figure out why its not working.
[02:19] <davelee> i'm using the server kernel - should i reboot and try generic ?

[02:19] <sonofthunder> gnomefreak: i just installed google earth and was wondering how to open it
[02:19] <yoursfaithfully> davelee:  If you can identify your audio chipset, I think it will go easier for you.  Maybe search for specs for your laptop or desktop?
[02:19] <davelee> sonofthunder: run googleearth
[02:19] <gnomefreak> sonofthunder: how did you install it
[02:20] <davelee> /usr/bin/googleearth
[02:20] <arvind_khadri> shree_, ok am there

[02:21] <sonofthunder> gnomefreak: i found a website with a link
[02:21] <djlenoir> cky: I think our educated guess is that GRUB stage1.5 is indeed treating our PATA drives as the first and second drive instead of the SATA drives.

[02:25] <djlenoir> cky: Ran grub-install again after making the changes. The menu.lst contents are now (hd2) /dev/sda, (hd3) /dev/sdb, (hd0) /dev/sdc, (hd1) /dev/sdd
[02:25] <sonofthunder> gnomefreak: where should i download it i am not having any luck
[02:25] <cky> djlenoir, ienorand: I have to go off really soon, but feel free to PM me with anything else needed, if nobody else in the channel can help.
[02:25] <AgentHeX> Laser88: this is what happens when i minor the font twice (main fonts look same size as ff2):  http://agenthex.com/images/random/ff3-issue/ff3-profile_minored.png
[02:25] <MarcN> jrib: nope. same
[02:25] <cky> djlenoir: That sounds good. Good luck!
[02:25] <khafra> The instructions at http://www.debuntu.org/book/export/html/216 keep making me freeze partway through the squashfs creation process--somewhere near 70%
[02:25] <SpookyET> I've had enough of this bullshit. I'm installing arch linux. Ubuntu is a piece of fresh diarrhoea.  It's rubbish. You have to reinstall every 6 months. Upgrades never work. It keeps failing.    I'm installing Arch Linux on all my computers, and you can quote me on that.
[02:25] <ezzieyguywu1> how can i change my suspend and resume scripts so that compiz stops before the computer suspends and it starts up again once it resumes?
[02:25] <djlenoir> cky: Ok thank you for all of your assistance. Take care.
[02:26] <shree_> arvind_khadri: what are you doing BTW
[02:26] <cky> djlenoir: Thanks! Any issues, let me know....
[02:26] <jrib> MarcN: I connect to it here.  Have you noticed issues with any other site?
[02:26] <Laser88> AgentHeX: edit - preferences - (3rd from left) - fonts - advanced...
[02:26] <khafra> SpookyET: Does it have a working custom livecd creation method?
[02:26] <gnomefreak> sonofthunder: anywhere you like but i forget how to install it off hand i havvent used it in atleast a year
[02:26] <arvind_khadri> shree_, as in now am searching enough so that we can install ereseva
[02:26] <arvind_khadri> shree_, that name is wierd
[02:26] <SpookyET> khafra: there is one
[02:26] <stdin> khafra: please don't feel trolls
[02:26] <ienorand> cky: "grep ntfs /proc/mounts" says nothing at all...
[02:27] <MarcN> jrib: I can get to www.ubuntu.com and everywhere else.  Pingable, but get connection refused connecting to port 80
[02:27] <sonofthunder> gnomefreak: thanks for your help
[02:27] <Pelo> evening folks
[02:27] <cky> ienorand: Okay, try "grep fuse /proc/mounts".
[02:27] <enaner> my sound thing is messed up
[02:27] <enaner> i hear sound
[02:27] <shree_> arvind_khadri: yea, but it is here http://code.google.com/p/ereseva/
[02:27] <enaner> but when i lower the volume it doesnt work
[02:27] <gnomefreak> yw sorry not much help its late and im working on fixing this pc
[02:27] <MarcN> jrib: downloading the iso from mit, but was going to leave a torrent up all night.
[02:27] <ezzieyguywu1> how can i change my suspend and resume scripts so that compiz stops before the computer suspends and it starts up again once it resumes?
[02:27] <Laser88> hi gnomefreak
[02:27] <arvind_khadri> shree_, it has got some pre-requirements so searching for that
[02:27] <gnomefreak> Laser88: hi
[02:28] <haettulegur> newb here...i was in the middle of backing up all my files, when i think my hard drive crashed (fsck failed. please run fsck manually...except now that's failing too...). is there anything i can do to try to save my files?
[02:28] <ienorand> cky "drwxr-x---  1 root plugdev  8192 2008-04-27 02:25 hda1" is what "ls -la" says after mount
[02:28] <MarcN> jrib: ah, just got a page. must be overloaded
[02:28] <Pelo> enaner, try right clicking on the volume control in prefs, or prop donT' rmembe you'll have several sliders,   play with the relation between master and pcm
[02:28] <shree_> arvind_khadri: k
[02:28] <cky> ienorand: Not /dev/hda1 but /media/hda1.
[02:28] <Juninhu> iae galera
[02:28] <cky> ienorand: Oh wait. It is.
[02:28] <cky> ienorand: Sorry, wasn't reading hard enough.
[02:28] <KalEl> how do i setup samba for sharing a folder with another windows machine on the network?
[02:28] <Pelo> !samba > KalEl check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:29] <davelee> anyone got ANY help ?
[02:29] <neeto>  is there anyone else that's having problems with nautilus on 8.04?
[02:29] <xyzpaw> can anyone tell me how to install JRE on ubuntu
[02:29] <cky> ienorand: In that case, the permissions should not be allowing any non-root users to write to it!
[02:29] <ekontsevoy> neeto: what kind of problems are you having?
[02:29] <davelee> right ............................. kthxbi
[02:29] <Laser88> neeto: what problems?
[02:29] <ienorand> cky: and I can still write to the darnd thing, yea!
[02:29] <Pelo> davelee,  if your queiston is not answered , repeat it periodicaly   it's a bussy channel we miss some
[02:29] <ezzieyguywu1> how can i change my suspend and resume scripts so that compiz stops before the computer suspends and it starts up again once it resumes?
[02:29] <cky> xyzpaw: Install the openjdk-6-jre package.
[02:29] <djlenoir> cky: If you are still here, I think it worked!
[02:29] <cky> ienorand: Even though you're not root.
[02:29] <neeto> ekontsevoy, Laser88: nautilus: error while loading shared libraries: libbeagle.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:29] <cky> djlenoir: Yay!!!
[02:29] <enaner> Hello everyone. I believe I have  a simple yet annoying problem. My sound works fine. but my headfone and master volume are separated. When I increase master volume nothing happens. I would like this to be in such a way, in which i can control the volume with the master volume ... thanks in advance
[02:29] <xyzpaw> cky: how do i do that
[02:29] <Pelo> ezzieyguywu1, maybe the ppl in #compiz have an idea
[02:30] <ienorand> I am in plugdev group, but not root
[02:30] <djlenoir> cky: Thanks for sticking through that problem with me. I really do appreciate the help.
[02:30] <benanzo> xyzpaw: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[02:30] <ienorand> cky: I am in plugdev group, but not root
[02:30] <ezzieyguywu1> pelo : i havne't checked there cuz it involves the suspend and resume scripts for the system
[02:30] <Pelo> enaner, there is a jacksense checkbox in the volume control in the top pannel see if that helps
[02:30] <cky> ienorand: Even _that_ is warped. :-(
[02:30] <AgentHeX> laser88: the only thing that changes *anything* is to allow or disallow a page to select its own fonts.
[02:30] <arvind_khadri> jrib, where does the wget files go??
[02:30] <benanzo> xyzpaw: it will install a bunch of stuff you'll likely want in the future
[02:30] <cky> djlenoir: No worries! Hopefully it will stay working for good.
[02:30] <jrib> arvind_khadri: current working directory
[02:30] <Pelo> ezzieyguywu1, but other compiz users might have had the same issue and found a way to fix it
[02:30] <Laser88> neeto: looks like there is no such file or directory...
[02:30] <ekontsevoy> neeto: I would do a serch with aptitude and uninstalled every single package that has something about beagle in it.
[02:30] <AgentHeX> if i disallow, it messes up the page layout.
[02:31] <cky> ienorand: Okay, I will have to think about this later, because I have to go. If others can help you, yay! Good luck!
[02:31] <ezzieyguywu1> pelo: ok i'll check it out
[02:31] <neeto> Laser88: read that. ekontsevoy: did that :/
[02:31] <enaner> there isn't a jacksense check box in pelo
[02:31] <ekontsevoy> neeto: I think you had beagle installed at some point and now it's broken
[02:31] <ienorand> cky: here is the proc/mounts thing output: http://mibbit.com/pb/Tv9KKM
[02:31] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i set a minimum font size, and i can still minor the size to "microscopic"
[02:31] <arvind_khadri> jrib, ok thanks ... missed it ;) confused home and desktop :p
[02:31] <Juninhu> #ubuntu-br
[02:31] <neeto> ekontsevoy: I'll purge it and try again
[02:31] <Pelo> enaner, right click ,  open control , second tab
[02:31] <mng51971> upgraded to 8.04 and now my sound doesn't work
[02:31] <ekontsevoy> neeto: when do you get this message?
[02:31] <gaspipe1> what's better kopete or pidgin? or is this not the place to ask?
[02:31] <mng51971> anybody have any pointers
[02:31] <ekontsevoy> neeto: I mean what do you do that causes it to occur?
[02:31] <ienorand> cky: thant for your help
[02:32] <neeto> ekontsevoy: anytime I want to start nautilus
[02:32] <enaner> Pelo: i only one tab, and thats "playback"
[02:32] <Pelo> mng51971, recheck the settings in system > prefs >sound
[02:32] <arvind_khadri> jrib, ok now am serious i cant find it
[02:32] <Pelo> enaner, must be driver dependent
[02:32] <ienorand> cky: At least I know it is something seriously wrong and not me
[02:32] <cky> ienorand: No worries. By the way, does your fstab contain allow_other? Because your /proc/mounts is listing it, and that's what may be causing the security to fail.
[02:32] <|Dreams|> ubuntu is so boring compared to kubuntu and dull
[02:32] <Laser88> AgentHeX: strange
[02:32] <neeto> ekontsevoy: it's still doing it even after I purged/reinstalled it
[02:32] <Turbooster> I'm trying to get my WLan working in Hardy. But I can't access the restricted drivers manager because hardy freezes all the time... So can I add the res. driver manually? Or is anything known about the GONME-freeze?
[02:32] <haettulegur> sorry for the desperation, but can anyone help me with a 'fsck failed' probelm?
[02:32] <Pelo> enaner, try playing around with the settings in   terminal : alsamixer
[02:32] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i think i wasn't doing it right.
[02:33] <cky> ienorand: Okay, good luck, once again!
[02:33] <SeaPhor> Pelo, Finally, after over 5 months of struggling with trying to get wireless working, thanks to CJS3141 it now works and works great! now, everything that i have is working, is there a way to back up all my settings? so if something goes wrong i can go back to this point?
[02:33] <ekontsevoy> neeto: here is an idea: you probably have some kind of configuration data that causes nautilus to load beagle libs.
[02:33] <AgentHeX> Laser88: it finally changed, but i think of 10 point font as fairly large.  it's tiny.  so making 12 point the minimum helps.
[02:33] <Pelo> enaner, actualy ,  see if your headphone sound changes when you play with the PCM volume
[02:33] <khafra> stdin: But the genuine helpers here, they do not feed me :(
[02:33] <ekontsevoy> try creating another user in the system, log in as him, and then try starting nautilus.
[02:33] <neeto> ekontsevoy: oh yeah... I'll check it out
[02:33] <amenado> SeaPhor-> you took some notes downs per my suggestions ?
[02:33] <davelee> right
[02:33] <davelee> so
[02:33] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i think i found a compromise, but i wonder why they would change this (essential) functionality in a new version of FF
[02:33] <cky> ienorand: Read the mount.ntfs-3g man page for what allow_other does.
[02:33] <davelee> sound works under the generic kernel
[02:33] <davelee> but
[02:33] <davelee> vmware doesnt
[02:33] <FloodBot2> davelee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:33] <ienorand> cky: no no sign of anything like that...
[02:33] <khafra> Squashfs creation: Why would it fail at 71%, with nothing in dmesg?
[02:34] <shree_> arvind_khadri: hey, what are the requirements
[02:34] <Pelo> SeaPhor, some settings are in /home,  but usualy hardware stuff is in /etc and the likes,  there are aps for backups , hold on
[02:34] <davelee> do i need to compile a custom kernel?
[02:34] <khafra> And keep failing at around 75% even when I start the whole process from scratch, on a different partition to be sure
[02:34] <cky> ienorand: Uh oh. Then there's more mystery.... I wish you good luck in tracking that down! :-)
[02:34] <Pelo> !backup > SeaPhor check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:34] <arvind_khadri> shree_, you need tapioca
[02:34] <SeaPhor> amenado, Ohhh Yeah! I copy/pasted the whole thing! all the teminals everything!
[02:34]  * flyback drowns in grief
[02:34] <Pelo> !enter | davelee
[02:34] <ubotu> davelee: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:34] <shree_> arvind_khadri: i can install that through apt
[02:34] <Laser88> AgentHeX: that's what I wanted to ask - what minimum size did u choose (depends on the monitor)
[02:34] <shree_> arvind_khadri: its avble
[02:34] <ekontsevoy> neeto: do something like find ~/ -name ".*" | xargs grep beagle
[02:34] <davelee> and if so, does anyone know what vmware needs to make it happy ?
[02:34] <Pelo> flyback, what,s the problem ?
[02:34] <amenado> SeaPhor-> okay, keep a good copy now..
[02:34] <davelee> Pelo, got it the first time
[02:34] <arvind_khadri> shree_, did you check that??
[02:35] <shree_> arvind_khadri: do you think we shoudl go ahead with landell or ereseva
[02:35] <Laser88> AgentHeX: ff3 is build from the roots afaik
[02:35] <enaner> pelo, yes when i change the headphone sounds, the volume changes
[02:35] <ienorand> cky: cheers!
[02:35] <amenado> khafra-> you are creating a squasfs fille?
[02:35] <AgentHeX> Laser88: minimum size of 12 yields very similar appearance to old FF layout.  i had to minor the screen twice, but with minimum 12 pt, it looks good
[02:35] <SeaPhor> amenado, will be posted on my website :-))
[02:35] <khafra> amenado: Trying to. It's not working
[02:35] <arvind_khadri> shree_, i dont think its really worht the pain!!
[02:35] <flyback> sorry forgot I was still in this channel
[02:35] <amenado> SeaPhor-> cool
[02:35] <AgentHeX> Laser88: sweet.  thanks
[02:35] <biabia> I figured out my problem with my install, all my hard drive device names were changed so they were wrong in my fstab, i just had to manually mount them and edit the fstab
[02:35] <davelee> do apart from whinging about punctuation, anyone got anything useful to offer?
[02:35] <arvind_khadri> shree_, i would suggest you to use Windows till a .deb is out for gtalk
[02:35] <shree_> arvind_khadri: hmmm
[02:35] <AgentHeX> Laser88: do you know if old FF2 extensions and addons work in FF3?
[02:36] <Pelo> enaner, PCM is not he headphone specificaly it' the PC master volume,  you can have that as the one displayed on for the volume icon if you want
[02:36] <amenado> khafra-> what is your command like?
[02:36] <enaner> pelo, yes i would like to have it displayed as one
[02:36] <khafra> amenado: sudo mksquashfs ~/livecd/custom ~/livecd/cd/casper/filesystem.squashfs
[02:36] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i guess not :(
[02:36] <aaron> trying to upgrade gutsy to hardy..seems to be stuck on ldconfig deferred processing (for about 20 minutes now) with "/usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is not a symbolic link"..I know the box isn't frozed because I'm accessing it with VNC right now. Any suggestions?
[02:36] <arvind_khadri> shree_, if you really want to take the pain we can go ahead...but we wont be sure after doing it whether it'll work or not
[02:36] <khafra> amenado: Got that from http://www.debuntu.org/book/export/html/216
[02:37] <amenado> khafra-> thats looks good
[02:37] <Pelo> davelee, right now there is no vmware package fro 8.04 , you,ll have to be patient and/or get the source from the vmware website and compile manualy
[02:37] <davelee> Pelo, I've compiled it manually
[02:37] <Laser88> AgentHeX: a lot of the extensions and add-ons already work in FF3, and I've already seen a workaround to get the others to work - but i can wait, won't take a long time...
[02:37]  * dirtyrice is still playing with compiz
[02:37] <Pelo> enaner, try chcking in right click properties,  I know you can select he one you want
[02:37] <davelee> Pelo: successfully - it runs, but fails to start VM's under the stock kernel. the Server kernel works but does not support my sound card.
[02:37] <Pelo> davelee, what,s the issue then ?
[02:38] <M1dn1ght> Hey guys - A couple of months ago I was trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop before coming to the conclusion that my graphics adapter was not supported.  I was told to check back every month or so to see if there had been any progress.  Anyone know?   It's a "SiS Mirage 3 Graphics" adapter on a laptop
[02:38] <AgentHeX> Laser88: well, one of the major addons i use works (or was re-written).  a couple others that i like are out of luck
[02:38] <shree_> arvind_khadri: i would like to go ahead with landell bcoz ereseva seems really immature product
[02:38] <arvind_khadri> shree_, you around
[02:38] <Pelo> davelee, try asking in #vmware maybe they have a solution
[02:38] <shree_> arvind_khadri: yup
[02:38] <davelee> Pelo: *nod* ta
[02:38] <xyzpaw> can anyone tell me how to open a .jar file?
[02:38] <khafra> amenado: My best guess was that I'd run out of space, but df -h says I still have 1GB left.  After I rebooted the livecd and tried the custom creation again, it went from halting at 74% to halting at 71%.  The percentage at which it halts doesn't change until I reboot and start from scratch
[02:38] <arvind_khadri> shree_, landell is a part of that i feel as landel gives no google results
[02:38] <AgentHeX> Laser88: i also just noticed the "ignore version check" button
[02:38] <Pelo> M1dn1ght, have you looked in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and in the forum ?
[02:39] <Juninhu> tem algum brasileiro aki?
[02:39] <enaner> thank you pelo. I think I figured it out
[02:39] <Laser88> AgentHeX: sry, cannot help - my 2 extensions that don't work are the Tor-button and focus_last_selected
[02:39] <CarlF1> xyzpaw: .jar  is a java archive - i think you run it
[02:39] <amenado> khafra-> you have a good manifest file?
[02:39] <shree_> arvind_khadri: you mean that ereseva will be a better bet
[02:39] <taquitos> hi, so ubuntu 7.1 had vmware server in the install, I think.  does 8.04 not?
[02:39] <AgentHeX> Laser88: *GASP* tor button doesn't work???
[02:39] <Pelo> xyzpaw, you donT open a .jar file you run it , they are java scrips, you need to install  sun-java6-jre and maybe -jdk but not sure
[02:39] <mng51971> thanks Pelo, i looked and set the sound device, the funny thing is, i can hear the drum beat at logon and logoff, and I heard sound when i tested in sound settings, but it wont work in video playback
[02:39] <ffm> taquitos, you can get it from the partner repos, no?
[02:39] <red__> can't install isafari leopard theme in firefox-2..it says it can't install a ".jar" file. help pls....

[02:39] <enaner> pelo, another question if you don't mind. Everytime Movie Player opens, or sometimes when i try to see visualizations in full screen, my screen goes blank, and everythings gone ... then I have to restart
[02:39] <M1dn1ght> Yeah - it's woefully unrepresented as far as I can tell
[02:40] <xyzpaw> ive got those installed!!

[02:40] <ezzieyguywu1> how can i change my suspend and resume scripts so that compiz stops before the computer suspends and it starts up again once it resumes?
[02:40] <enaner> but other times Pelo , it works fine
[02:40] <Mark_Mitchell> not familiar with irc... I need help with my ubuntu install
[02:40] <AgentHeX> Laser88: why can't they just make a plugin for FF3 that emulates FF2's behavior?
[02:40] <mng51971> vlc player

[02:40] <CarlF1> how do I install grub on a usb stick?
[02:40] <AgentHeX> like write a ff22ff3 addon :-P
[02:40] <ffm> AgentHeX, What's the point of that?
[02:40] <enaner> enaner, i don't know what compiz is i am running ubuntu
[02:40] <AgentHeX> Laser88: germany's laws suck
[02:40] <KalEl> didn't gutsy already have a samba GUI? hardy seems to be missing that
[02:40] <ffm> AgentHeX, Just use nightly testing tools to fool ff.
[02:40] <pgentoo> hey guys, whats the newest xen kernel in 8.04?
[02:40] <ezzieyguywu1> does anyone at least know where i can find an ubuntu manual online that can explain to me how to edit the suspend and resume scripts?

[02:48] <Sergiu9> hello all
[02:48] <Phoenix92x> I'm having a problem with displayconfig-gtk in Hardy. I have two monitors and I can't get both of them configured to be the same desktop. Right now I can only get my secondary monitor to clone the first one. I have it set as "secondary, extends to the right" yet when I hit test it tells me the test failed and when I write to file and try to restart x it gives me an error that x had to start in "low graphics mode" and asks me if I want to try configuri
[02:48] <Phoenix92x> ng x again, during this it defaults to the vesa driver. I'm using the nv driver and have an nvidia 7950 GX (possibly GTX, don't remember atm, tired)
[02:48] <Sergiu9> i have an problem ..
[02:48] <sponix> lufis: try #kubuntu-kde4 chan, they have lots of knowledge on kde3/kde4 there
[02:48] <HACKhalo2> the_darkside_986, is it the newest kernel?
[02:48] <Pelo> Sergiu9, share ? breifly
[02:48] <leith> i just switched from xp to ubuntu, on xp it was working fine
[02:48] <Sergiu9> does http://kab.tv/?item=2051 play to anynone?
[02:48] <the_darkside_986> it is version .25 or something
[02:48] <the_darkside_986> newest stable release i suppose
[02:48] <enaner> amrik how do i find out if i am on 64 bit
[02:49] <Pelo> Sergiu9, just explain the problem
[02:49] <HACKhalo2> why don't you need the entire kernel?
[02:49] <Sergiu9> Pelo, the http://kab.tv/?item=2051 dosen't want to play.. in firefox and in totem too..
[02:49] <sponix> Pelo: thanks for the support though, I filed the gnome-terminal crash, and I'll do the mencoder if it pops up again, already recorded the syslog && console info to a text file
[02:49] <Laser88> Pelo: uname

[02:49] <Pelo> Sergiu9, doesn'T play for me either ,
[02:49] <Sergiu9> Pelo, yes , this is an problem..
[02:49] <Pelo> enaner, vlc ?
[02:49] <CJS3141> leith: go to http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ and see if your wireless card is compatible with linux, if it isn't, you'll need to use ndiswrapper.
[02:49] <Starnestommy> enaner: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:49] <the_darkside_986> well, i suppose this is the source code of an entire kernel but i can't start the building unless i have sane config file.
[02:49] <sponix> xyzpaw: apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[02:50] <enaner> pelo, yes VLC media player
[02:50] <Sergiu9> Pelo, but www.kab.tv is playing for you?
[02:50] <Pelo> xyzpaw, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[02:50] <xyzpaw> thanx sponic
[02:50] <Laser88> enaner: play or install vlc?
[02:50] <ienorand> Pelo: I want root-only write permission for an ntfs partition, and it is not working for me so I'd like to know if it's generic or just me that has the problem...

[03:02] <crdlb> dabbill: right, but do the windows look completely gray?

[03:02] <noel__> how can i get this lib? libdbus-glib-1.so.2 i need it for cairo-dock
[03:02] <arvind_khadri> enaner, :) i know
[03:02] <albuntu> rich_freecomm: sorry i upgraded from adept_manager
[03:02] <dabbill> crdlb, no its like they are just going transparent
[03:02] <bynw> ErrorF002 , ah I am not alone in this ... thats good. I wish someone had a fix for it that we could try.
[03:02] <prince_jammys> enaner: tar.gz is a zipped archive of files of any format - see if they are .debs
[03:02] <arvind_khadri> enaner, why do you want it? :)
[03:02] <rich_freecomm> SpectralDesign: it is a bit slow
[03:02] <ienorand> Pelo: changing it to "4" instead you mean?
[03:02] <crdlb> enaner: anything wrong with the flash player in the repos?
[03:02] <mib_z7c0iuv5> use .tar.gz
[03:02] <Pelo> noel__,  didyou check in synaptic ?
[03:03] <enaner> crdlb yes the youtube sound doesnt play
[03:03] <dabbill> crdlb, but its so fadded that i cant tell if the color is their or not
[03:03] <digitalslave> i burned a disc with some long extensions and it said i could disable joliet extensions to keep the long names but would be readable by windows so i was fine with that
[03:03] <prince_jammys> !flash | enaner
[03:03] <ubotu> enaner: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:03] <Laser88> cd ~/bathroom/wc && remove beer
[03:03] <arvind_khadri> enaner, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:03] <Pelo> ienorand, on my comp  the root group is 0 but if it is 4 on yours that would be it yes
[03:03] <albuntu> enaner: try downloading .rpm and convert them to .deb
[03:03] <Joshooa> Hey, my room mates have this old laptop, 500MHz 256MB of RAM, and I tried install Ubuntu 7.10, 7.04, and 6.06, regular cds and the alternate(not live and text based) and each time it had a cd read error, usually before beginning install, farthest I got was partitioning. Then I did an old burnt XP cd, and installed slowly but no problems whatsoever. I've never seen a machine that's really "build for Windows XP" so any advice on how I ca
[03:03] <WelshDragon> Anyone know of some really good voice changing software?
[03:03] <digitalslave> trouble is i dont think ubuntu mounts it correctly cause i cant read anything on it but the files are there???
[03:03] <Pelo> flyback, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[03:03] <rich_freecomm> albuntu: so have I. I was curious (like for next time) if the CD way would be quicker
[03:03] <aaron> stuck at ldconfig deferred processing during gutsy-->hardy upgrade. see http://www.pastebin.ca/998915 and http://www.pastebin.ca/998919
[03:03] <crdlb> enaner: that's probably caused by the fact that hardy uses pulseaudio
[03:03] <Yahuda> Ookay, does anyone know why my computer crashed like 10 times in an hour? : )
[03:03] <crdlb> albuntu: that's a really bad idea :/
[03:03] <Mindaxiz> can you get dict to work in the firefox address bar as in windows?
[03:03] <flyback> Pelo thx for the concern but it's just life problems
[03:03] <SpectralDesign> rich_freecomm: okay, thanks, I'll try to be patient :P  I saw no network activity and tried a couple times so I thought maybe it was a bigger problem than me
[03:03] <Yahuda> I just installed Ubuntu yesterday.
[03:03] <mib_z7c0iuv5> Have someone had issues after upgrading from gutsy to hardy with sources.list?
[03:03] <ErrorF002> bynw: I have full color, but its as if someone cut a vertical swatch out of the screen and you can't see that swatch
[03:03] <noel__> Yes Pelo i run getlibs for cairo-dock and it can't find a match. i always have cairo-dock running but today i made a fresh install of hardy and i can't get it working anymore.
[03:03] <arvind_khadri> enaner, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree this would help
[03:03] <Pelo> flyback, life sucks , give it up
[03:04] <crdlb> dabbill: ohh, I think I know, one second
[03:04] <albuntu> crdlb: if there is no .deb there is no other way :(
[03:04] <enaner> crdlb it worked fine yesterday
[03:04] <crdlb> albuntu: using the tarball is better, but flash is already in the repos anyway
[03:04] <Pelo> noel__, I mean did you check in synaptic for the lib you are missing
[03:04] <rich_freecomm> SpectralDesign: you could try a reboot of everything...Hubs, routers, modems, start fresh
[03:04] <digitalslave> if someone has some knowledge on mounting with out joliet extensions please pm me
[03:04] <arialth> hey i have a conundrum here i cannot quite solve. I recently got ahold of a VERY old tower, and I want to install linux on it (any distro, but prefferably runlevel 3 ubuntu, no desktop). The problem is this: It has no monitor, and I am on a laptop (ubuntu 8.04/winxp). I do have a crossover cable, but i was wondering if it is at ALL possible to install ubuntu or any distro remotely FROM my laptop connecting into the tower? Can this eve
[03:04] <noel__> Pelo, there's not there
[03:04] <choochoo512> I have a Dell Inspiron 1420n, came with Gutsy and I upgraded to Hardy -- now the sound is dead -- any ideas?
[03:04] <ErrorF002> bynw: funny part is that people have had the same issue on my laptop in 6.x but the fix stated does not seem to be possible as the files mentioned are not in the /etc/X11 dir
[03:04] <SeaPhor_> is there a way to watch your real-time connection speed?
[03:04] <crdlb> enaner: so why do you expect a flash update to fix it? I doubt youtube has changed dramatically in that period
[03:04] <ienorand> Pelo: ah, no group 4 is admin, group 0 is root, so what are you saying I should edit??
[03:05] <rich_freecomm> SpectralDesign: I let it run all night, I know I'd be anxious if I was awake while it was doing it :D
[03:05] <dabbill> crdlb, its just got me stumped cause it seems to do it randomly with different windows.
[03:05] <enaner> crdlb any other suggestions?
[03:05] <Y-Town> Is there an easy way to import MS Outlook into Evolution yet?  I need contacts and many folders of saved mail?
[03:05] <albuntu> crdlb: yes you are right. anyways i find it easy with debs. lol
[03:05] <eternal_p> Y-Town: you can always run outlook in wine (or Crossover) that is what I do
[03:05] <Pelo> Joshooa, run the cd integrety check on the ubuntu cd, from the boot menu
[03:05] <eternal_p> I think Evolution is garbage
[03:05] <ErrorF002> Y-Town: export to csv if you can
[03:05] <KalEl> help please, i don't anymore see System->Administration->Shared Folders
[03:05] <crdlb> dabbill: does it happen in a terminal if you press Tab repeatedly?
[03:05] <CJS3141> Some please refresh my memory--in order to get my wireless card working I had to install ndiswrapper, but I don't remember how I did that offline--is it on the Ubuntu install CD?
[03:05] <sonofthunder> how do i install a package???
[03:05] <SpectralDesign> rich_freecomm: roger - thanks again!  (yeah, good point... and I know it wont brick me like it may have done a couple years ago :)
[03:05] <noel__> Pelo, libdbus-glib0-dev   libdbus-glib-1-2    libdbus-glib-1-dev  libdbus-glib-1-doc  libdbus-glib-dev : those are installed
[03:05] <eternal_p> kalEl: I don't think such an option exists
[03:05] <Y-Town> ErrorF002: that didnt work  :o)
[03:06] <dabbill> crdlb, doesnt seem to
[03:06] <ErrorF002> sonofthunder: apt-get install <package name>
[03:06] <Laser88> Y-Town: export as csv
[03:06] <arialth> CJS3141: do you have ANY ethernet connection?
[03:06] <amrik> does anyone know what the alsa-firmware package is for?
[03:06] <Yahuda> Sonofthunder, try Synaptic.
[03:06] <jerbear> there's a file in my home folder, .gvfs that give an error "transport endpoint is not connected" when i do an ls... what's going on?
[03:06] <Pelo> ienorand, I'M saying c change the gid in the mount line in fstab to  gid=0  so only root as acess t the partiton
[03:06] <ErrorF002> Y-Town: the export or the import
[03:06] <Pelo> noel__, that's all I had sorry
[03:06] <KalEl> in gutsy i had System->Administration->Shared Folders, has that been removed in hardy? why?
[03:06] <Laser88> in outlook, then import in evolution
[03:06] <sonofthunder> yahuda: i did, nothing happens though
[03:06] <Y-Town> ErrorF002: evolution doesnt read it
[03:06] <ienorand> Pelo: ok will try that
[03:06] <choochoo512> I have a Dell Inspiron 1420n, came with Gutsy and I upgraded to Hardy -- now the sound is dead -- any ideas?
[03:06] <CJS3141> arialth: yes I had my Win XP connection--but I can't remember if I downloaded from there.
[03:06] <crdlb> dabbill: is Fading Windows > Visual Bell enabled in ccsm?
[03:06] <ErrorF002> Y-Town: I don't use evolution... but if it can't read a .csv then its crap
[03:07] <eternal_p> KalEl: couldn't tell you, try google...I'm sure it is changed for something out
[03:07] <mib_z7c0iuv5> CJS3141: if your sound card is working ok, don't touch taht!
[03:07] <erikk> eek, I need help. I just did a fresh install of the latest ubuntu, installed the restricted nvidia drivers, and now I'm stuck in 640 x 480 resolution!
[03:07] <arialth>  CJS3141: if you can connect in ubuntu via the ethernet, just run this in a command line: sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-common
[03:07] <ErrorF002> anyone know anything about XF86Config-4 and what file has replaced this in 8.04?
[03:07] <rich_freecomm> I just have to say this. Once I heard about Ubuntu and used it....the Corporate OS had to go away.  Ubuntu rocks....never going back
[03:07] <jerbear> there's a file in my home folder, .gvfs that give an error "transport endpoint is not connected" when i do an ls... what's going on?
[03:07] <Yahuda> sonofthunder, search for packages in Synaptic, then double click on it.
[03:07] <crdlb> enaner: do you have libflashsupport installed?
[03:08] <Pelo> erikk, check i synaptic , install the nvidi-config and nvidia-setting pacakges , use that to chagne the res
[03:08] <Laser88> erikk: do you have an old xorg.conf? - easiesrt way...
[03:08] <dabbill> crdlb, visual bell wasnt enabled but i just took off fadding windows to see if that changes any thing
[03:08] <xyzpaw> could anyone tell me how to open a tar.bz2 file?
[03:08] <rich_freecomm> ....never goin back...unless my school forces me to take a course ike Visual Basic that requires me to use their poo :P
[03:08] <arialth> xyzpaw: can you not just double click on it?
[03:08] <Pelo> xyzpaw, just right click , extract here
[03:08] <ienorand> Pelo: nope, after changing to gid=0 and remounting I can still write...
[03:08] <sonofthunder> yahuda: i just installed the package, but i don't know how to run it
[03:08] <Pelo> ienorand, hmmm
[03:09] <Joshooa> Anyone have any ideas why Ubuntu CDs wouldn't install but XP did just fine
[03:09] <mib_z7c0iuv5> tar -xvf file
[03:09] <rich_freecomm> Joshooa: laptop?
[03:09] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: Yeah
[03:09] <Radtoo^laptop> Joshooa: Uuuh. More information as far as "install" is concerned? :)
[03:09] <rich_freecomm> Joshooa: ug...they can be a pain
[03:09] <CygnusX1> Does anyone know why symlinks are not followed in 8.04?
[03:10] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: 500MHz 256MB RAM 6GB hard drive, most cds wouldn't even get into live, 1 did, but froze during partition
[03:10] <arialth> CJS3141:what version of ubuntu do you have?
[03:10] <Ashfire908> what's so special about PulseAudio?
[03:10] <rich_freecomm> Joshooa: when I first installed 7.10 onto my laptop, I had to do it 3-4 times before it took
[03:10] <Laser88> CygnusX1: are they still valid?
[03:10] <amrik> CygnusX1: symlinks still work for me O_o
[03:10] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: I tried 7.10, 7.04, and 6.06, normal cds and alternate, not live just text install, both from my computer, and my brothers, so different computers, different downloads, different burning software, and different cds
[03:10] <sonofthunder> yahuda: i have already done all of the synaptic package manager stuff. It is on my comp. i just do not know how to run the program
[03:10] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: Well it was always a CD read error of some sort
[03:11] <Radtoo^laptop> Ashfire908: its an attempt at improvement over older sound servers such as arts
[03:11] <rich_freecomm> Joshooa: and even then, I think I don't have access to all the 'devices' because the drivers were made for poo XP
[03:11] <Yahuda> sonofthunder: Hmm.
[03:11] <arialth> hey so does anyone have any idea how to install linux remotely?
[03:11] <Ashfire908> never mind my question, i have to go
[03:11] <Radtoo^laptop> Ashfire908: cross-platform compatible and all that
[03:11] <Yahuda> sonofthunder: Just find the package. ^^
[03:11] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: I really thought CD drive failure, but reluctantly tried and XP cd, and it worked
[03:11] <Laser88> CygnusX1: hd went to sd in hardy
[03:11] <Pelo> ienorand, man mount lists a nouser option that will prevent ordinary users from mounting the FS , maybe you can try that
[03:11] <rich_freecomm> Joshooa: hmm...I kept getting that too, but my CD drive is kinda flaky as is
[03:11] <roxygirl> anyone have info on linux web editors?  anything with an easy interface with some drag and drop features?
[03:11] <Ashfire908> Radtoo^laptop, k
[03:11] <mib_z7c0iuv5> maybe VPNing
[03:11] <Pelo> !install > arialth check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[03:11] <epp> rich_freecomm, get a new one :P
[03:12] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: I really want it to work, cause it's a 6GB drive, and Ubuntu is smaller than Xp right? Plus, they are both total noobs to computers, so they wouldn't be switching to Ubuntu really
[03:12] <arialth> tks pelo
[03:12] <Yahuda> sonofthunder: For example, I installed Compiz Fusion, and its settings manager is under "System".
[03:12] <Joshooa> rich_freecomm: I took my laptop apart =P
[03:12] <CygnusX1> This is a new install.  I just created a symlink in my home folder (ln -s Desktop/ test) and it works.  However, when I try to cd /ust/bin/java, the link is not followed
[03:12] <rich_freecomm> epp: a new CD for my laptop. possibly...or just not worry about it because everything works (if it ain't broke...)
[03:12] <GT63> Question: I just installed, clean, Hardy on Compaq Presario, the live CD found the wireless card propietry driver, but when installed there is now driver and no network
[03:12] <clubikimakuri> Hi, could anyone help a semi-noob out with SCIM questions?

[03:15] <erikk> this is so frustrating, I can't change the nvidia display because when I click on the screen it scrolls down b/c 640  x 480 isn't enough to show the nvidia window!
[03:15] <T1m0thy> Any ideas why I would be getting this error? http://pastebin.com/m255a0ecb
[03:15] <fatless> hi...i'm a noob to ubuntu can anyone help me connect my laptop to my tv
[03:15] <CygnusX1> Laser88: I am seeing the issue is that the symlink ends up pointing at the java executable instead of the folder

[03:16] <LoLeN> amarok does not show the songs at my collection, even though it connects to the mySQL database; it tells me all the time rebuilding collection
[03:16] <arvind_khadri> erikk, have you got the drivers??
[03:16] <Pelo> T1m0thy, can you summarize the error , we'Re a bit busy
[03:16] <CygnusX1> Laser88: The thing that got me on this is that OOo is not seeing java

[03:16] <william__> i need to type the 3 commands in the 2nd page of this thread to get internet conection.  i followed instructions and edited my /etc/rc.local but it doesnt prevent me from having to do this each login.  what is the deal? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4806383&posted=1#post4806383
[03:16] <mib_z7c0iuv5> Jarvid make a clean intallation
[03:16] <Pelo> flyback, that,s ok we understand,
[03:16]  * Pelo gives flyback  a cookie
[03:16] <FlashWolf> 'evenin
[03:16] <CygnusX1> Shouldn't that link point at the folder java is in; rather than at the executable itself?
[03:16] <Radtoo^laptop> T1m0thy: Wild guess is that the directory runescape wants to write the cache to isn't writeable
[03:16] <fatless> hi...i'm a noob to ubuntu can anyone help me connect my laptop to my tv
[03:16] <CJS3141> arielth: I'm still on gutsy.
[03:16] <arialth> pelo: oh wow that'll require i set up a server to netboot it from lol ^^ this is turing out to be a real chore
[03:16] <T1m0thy> Pelo, it's from Runescape. It's saying that it can't create the cache directory. (On other version it would make a ~/.jagex_cache_32/ or similar.)
[03:17] <SeaPhor> xyzpaw, i'm putting together a page with all my linux experiences in it and gonna put it on my website, if you want to help you could learn a lot and i can show you where i find answers
[03:17] <ienorand> Pelo: how do you mean should I add  setuid=0,setgid=0 to fstab?
[03:17] <LoganHoup> you actually install runescape now?
[03:17] <Laser88> CygnusX1: not using OOo with java
[03:17] <arialth> CJS3141: if i gave you a link to what you needed could you download it and transfer it to your gusty install?
[03:17] <FlashWolf> hey guys... how do i install drivers for a dial up modem?
[03:17] <william__> does /etc/rc.local need sudo in front of commands???
[03:17] <RunKidRun> hey guys, i have an issue :(, I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and the update process crashed, i can't boot into anything, all i get is texted based access...gnome is not working...someone suggested something like sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade --missing -fix
[03:18] <fatless> hi...i'm a noob to ubuntu can anyone help me connect my laptop to my tv
[03:18] <RunKidRun> is anyone familiar with this issue???
[03:18] <Radtoo^laptop> T1m0thy: quick fix its asking for is you to go root, mkdir /rscache, chmod -R 0777 /rscache . Whether or not that will work I don't know. :)
[03:18] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: modem driver disk + wine..?
[03:18] <Pelo> ienorand, all the commands i have given you so far you were suppose to add to the mount line for the ntfs partiton in the fstab file, what have you been doing with them ?
[03:18] <LoganHoup> could someone please help me? I was trying to upgrade to hardy from gutsy and after preparing to install finished, The window dimmed and froze. I had to restart my session and now my updater won't work (I can't run from terminal either)
[03:18] <CJS3141> arialth: Sounds great.
[03:18] <jollyjim> how do I install a driver for an Nvidia Video Card? I have downloaded the driver -it's sitting on my desktop
[03:18] <SeaPhor> william__, yes i believe so, i would anyway, wont hurt
[03:18] <arialth> CJS3141:lemme see if i can dig up a link. i've never had to search from the web before
[03:18] <fbc> HELP!! After about 5 minutes with open office open my machine freezes(hard). No CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or DEL works. Only reset. This is a clean install, not an upgrade.
[03:18] <T1m0thy> Thanks, Radtoo^laptop.
[03:18] <RunKidRun> i sort of would like to get my pc going again :)
[03:18] <FlashWolf> rich_freecomm: the prob is... how could i install wine without net?
[03:18] <LoganHoup> runkidrun: Everyone seems to be having problems with installing hardy
[03:18] <xyzpaw> seaohor did you get my private message?
[03:18] <Pelo> jollyjim,  did you start by tring the restricted driver ?
[03:18] <RunKidRun> LoganHoup, is there a way to finish the upgrade?
[03:18] <FlashWolf> rich_freecomm: i've finished reinstalled ubuntu on my pc
[03:18] <RunKidRun> LoganHoup, i'm completely stuck
[03:19] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: any way you can go wireless or wired net connection?
[03:19] <LoganHoup> I would reccomend typing sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:19] <CygnusX1> Laser88: I don't think the issue is OOo.  I think the issue is that that symlink should point to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin
[03:19] <RunKidRun> LoganHoup, i need to finish it somehow..its got old files, but it thinks its 8.04 :(
[03:19] <CygnusX1> Not to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
[03:19] <FlashWolf> rich_freecomm: not now... impossible...
[03:19] <nwidger> does anyone see huge cpu spikes at regular interval when using firefox in hardy heron?
[03:19] <jollyjim> Yes...well the driver that installed when I install ubuntu....
[03:19] <FlashWolf> i have to set up my modem without connection... =\
[03:19] <LoganHoup> Runkidrun: if that doesnt work live with gutsy, I certainly can
[03:19] <jollyjim> but it only lets me get 800 x 600
[03:19] <RunKidRun> nLogainHoup, it says a lib is missing
[03:20] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: I know if I were in the same situation, I'd take it to a friends house who had a DSL/Cable connection and plug in for awhile
[03:20] <dabbill> how can i rename a mounted drive icon on my desktop? It just lables it as the size of the drive
[03:20] <RunKidRun> LoganHoup, it says a lib is missing
[03:20] <Pelo> jollyjim, check in menu > system> admin > restricted driver
[03:20] <warmexxus> Would anyone else have experience with USB Wireless Adapters as an ethernet connection? Because I need help hooking up my usb device to ubuntu the new release
[03:20] <LoganHoup> hhhmmm, I'm sorry I cant help you
[03:20] <arialth> yo CJS3141, download this:http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[03:20] <CygnusX1> nwidger: I am coming to the conclusion that MS is not the only crew that sends alpha's to RTM
[03:20] <rich_freecomm> FlashWlf: take him/her to dinner while it gets what ever driver it needs
[03:20] <ienorand> Pelo: Yes, I've added them to fstab along with e.g. umask=027 and then unmounted and remounted
[03:20] <LoganHoup> not exactly a ubuntu guru
[03:20] <RunKidRun> Pelo, are you familiar with this issue?
[03:20] <LoganHoup> I wish you luck
[03:20] <enaner> im trynna instalall xubuntu on my crappy laptop... and it says ... this kernerl requires x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 CPU ... UNable to boot- please use a kerner appropriate for your CPU ... what should i dnow?
[03:20] <erikk> in the nvidia settings screen I can't choose anything higher htan 640 x 480 resolution, this is taking up so much time
[03:20] <shane2peru> anyone know how to recover data off a dead harddrive?
[03:20] <LoganHoup> could someone please help me? I was trying to upgrade to hardy from gutsy and after preparing to install finished, The window dimmed and froze. I had to restart my session and now my updater won't work (I can't run from terminal either)
[03:20] <RunKidRun> LoganHoup, thnk you.
[03:20] <nwidger> CygnusX1: okay so other people are experiencing this?
[03:20] <LoganHoup> your welcome
[03:21] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: take him/her to dinner while it gets what ever driver it needs (repeat to correct username)
[03:21] <Pelo> RunKidRun, what issue ?
[03:21] <icesword> shane2peru: how do you mean
[03:21] <arialth> CJS3141: then install this: http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.43-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
[03:21] <fbc> Anyone know why openoffice would be freezing up a fresh install?
[03:21] <CygnusX1> nwidger: Yes
[03:21] <arialth> CJS3141: you have to do it in that order: ndiswrapper-common then ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[03:21] <ienorand> so for example after that last thing my fstab looked like: http://mibbit.com/pb/ewpY42
[03:21] <shane2peru> icesword, I mean the drive spins up, gets automounted and then disappears, I'v determined that the hdd is failing
[03:21] <FlashWolf> rich_freecomm: ok, but how would i find these drivers?
[03:21] <FlashWolf> linmodems?
[03:21] <RunKidRun> Pelo, i tried to upgrade to hardy, and the upgrade froze, now gnome is jacked, and i can't get any gui whatsoever..someone suggested a command like sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade --missing -fix , but i don't remember it exactly...any ideas?
[03:21] <d00d> When i boot into kdm i login with my numlocks are working but when i sign on the wm and try to use numlock its does not work any idea light is on, G15 Keyboard.
[03:21] <shane2peru> icesword, I would like to get some of the files off of it.
[03:22] <mayakuza> How do i gett my driver to be vesa?
[03:22] <Tim1> can i delete /var/log
[03:22] <CygnusX1> nwidger: No idea why...too busy trying to fix other broken stuff.  Haven't had much time to use Firefox
[03:22] <icesword> shane2peru: hmm, what filesystem?
[03:22] <LoganHoup> could someone please help me? I was trying to upgrade to hardy from gutsy and after preparing to install finished, The window dimmed and froze. I had to restart my session and now my updater won't work (I can't run from terminal either)
[03:22] <rich_freecomm> probably find out what company the modem is made by, if a laptop, contact the manufacturer
[03:22] <shane2peru> icesword, ext3 - is there another fs?  :)
[03:22] <rich_freecomm> oops
[03:22] <Pelo> ienorand, the only thing left I can think of,  is to remove the umask gid uid values ( along wiht setuid and setgid) and see if it doesnT just mount it root only,
[03:22] <RunKidRun> Pelo, is there hope?
[03:22] <CJS3141> arialth: Thanks so much! :-)
[03:22] <mayakuza> How do i gett my driver to be vesa?
[03:22] <Tim1> LoganHoup: get in safe mode
[03:22] <shane2peru> icesword, the bad thing is it was my external backup hdd. :(
[03:22] <icesword> shane2peru: many many, ---------> testdisk
[03:22] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: probably find out what company the modem is made by, if a laptop, contact the manufacturer
[03:22] <Laser88> CygnusX1: the link is set right now? to a folder? *getting tired - it' half past 4 am in Germany...)*
[03:23] <arialth> CJS3141: no problem dude.  Anyone know a good howTo for SCIM and Japanese input?
[03:23] <Tim1> Is it safe to delete /var/log
[03:23] <LoganHoup> so rm /var/cache/apt/lock?
[03:23] <CygnusX1> Laser88: It is set right now and ends up pointing at the java executable, not a folder.
[03:23] <jollyjim> I see no "restricted driver" under Menu>system>admin  - I see "Hardware Drivers"
[03:23] <icesword> shane2peru: no, i don't think so
[03:23] <shane2peru> icesword, I would really like a gui if there is, if not I'll read my way through a cli. :)
[03:23] <RunKidRun> Pelo, is this possible to fix?
[03:23] <icesword> !info testdisk
[03:23] <ubotu> testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.8-1 (hardy), package size 690 kB, installed size 2640 kB
[03:23] <Pelo> RunKidRun, just start with a basic sudo apt-get update,  if there is still upgrade stuff needed to to it should prompt you to typethe updgrad dist command with the correct optons
[03:23] <enaner> im trynna instalall xubuntu on my crappy laptop... and it says ... this kernerl requires x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 CPU ... UNable to boot- please use a kerner appropriate for your CPU ... what should i dnow?
[03:23] <Pelo> RunKidRun, patience
[03:23] <rich_freecomm> FlashWolf: ah yes..Linmodems forgot about them
[03:23] <arialth> tim1: why do you need to delete the log files?
[03:23] <arvind_khadri> LoganHoup, who asked you to do so?
[03:23] <icesword> shane2peru: yep, it is in repos, :)
[03:24] <CJS3141> arialth: yes, no problem there. :)
[03:24] <Zelta> are there any N64 emulators for ubuntu?

[03:24] <farzad> anyone professional here ?
[03:24] <Pelo> salcho, check in your bios some have security features that prevent writing to the mbr
[03:24] <arvind_khadri> enaner, get the amd version

[03:25] <RunKidRun> Pelo, i have a ton of files though...

[03:25] <salcho> it could be something else?
[03:25] <RunKidRun> Pelo, is that the only option?
[03:25] <plinde> tim1: safe, but if its a server, might as well archive them
[03:25] <farzad> what shall i do
[03:25] <Pelo> RunKidRun, just move your /home folder to a seperate partiton
