[10:13] <bazhang> !appdb | kirkhelek check here
[10:13] <Crazed> that is for the drivers nvdia-glx right
[10:14] <Crazed> I am talking about the nvidia.com drivers

[10:15] <sarthor> Hi, What patach to use for Ubuntu 8.04 gutsy, any.any-115 and 116 are not working, give me the link please if there is any latest patach.
[10:15] <Jezz> hi
[10:15] <Crazed> that will install the drivers from apt-get
[10:15] <wols> Crazed: you need a kernel-module for your running kernel there
[10:15] <Crazed> dont want those!
[10:15] <Jezz> Does Wubi works with Ubuntu Studio?
[10:15] <bazhang> Jezz, sure
[10:15] <Jezz> ok :)
[10:15] <wols> Crazed: modprobe nvidia
[10:15] <eegiiz> bazhang, is there any automatic way to fix errors>
[10:16] <eegiiz> ?

[10:17] <peterlh> Is there some problem with sound in hardy? After googleing people post about problems with audiopulse? i usually have sound, but sometimes i dont. how to debug sound issues?
[10:17] <wols> Crazed: you have the kernel source but not a compiled module
[10:17] <Crazed> ... what exactly do you mean ?
[10:17] <eegiiz> I`m getting an error says "something is missing from theme or sound" at start
[10:17] <wols> either create the module with module-assistant (m-a install nvidia    IIRC) or install the module or compile it all manually
[10:17] <thebiglife> hello, can anyone point me to a walkthrough about disabling display in ubuntu,
[10:18] <eegiiz> and I don`t see any drives
[10:18] <wols> thebiglife: disabling display?
[10:18] <Crazed> wols I used that nvidia script
[10:18] <bazhang> eegiiz, it says something?
[10:18] <freeman> 有没有中国人
[10:18] <Crazed> compiled and stuff ..
[10:18] <bazhang> !cn | freeman
[10:18] <Crazed> works if I start x then ..
[10:18] <Crazed> but when I reboot its all messed up again
[10:18] <wols> Crazed: it didn't. you can try with "modprobe nvidia"
[10:18] <freeman> 都 是中国人听装B
[10:18] <wols> put "nvidia" (without quotes) in /etc/modutils/
[10:19] <eegiiz> yes It says that something or somefile is missing
[10:19] <wols> put "nvidia" (without quotes) in /etc/modules
[10:19] <thebiglife> wols: i only want to use it as a sort of server, i dont need any interface
[10:19] <bazhang> freeman /join #ubuntu-cn thanks
[10:19] <KenSentMe> What brands of wlan cards work out of the box in Ubuntu?
[10:19] <bazhang> KenSentMe, intel
[10:19] <wols> thebiglife: so your remove gdm, you can even unstinall it
[10:19] <thebiglife> ok cool
[10:20] <KenSentMe> bazhang, do they have seperate cards besides laptop chipsets?
[10:20] <Crazed> in this file ? :/ nvidia-kernel-nkc
[10:20] <Drune> pt
[10:20] <bazhang> KenSentMe, should do, but hard to find
[10:20] <wols> Crazed: no
[10:20] <horux> saludos desd Venezuela
[10:21] <wols> Crazed: modprobe nvidia    works?
[10:21] <snowdoll> freeman: Go to #ubuntu-cn
[10:21] <wols> ie. no message, and X loads?
[10:21] <bazhang> !es | horux
[10:21] <Crazed> well it doesnt give any output ..
[10:21] <wols> Crazed: that's fine
[10:21] <horux> Hooola Saludos desde Venezuela
[10:21] <wols> Crazed: so now enter "nvidia" without quotes into /etc/modules
[10:21] <wols> man modules    if you need more info
[10:21] <bazhang> horux, /join #ubuntu-es
[10:22] <Crazed> ok done that :)
[10:22] <horux> join #ubuntu-es
[10:22] <horux> join /#ubuntu-es
[10:22] <Crazed> now it should be working ?
[10:22] <wols> now it's done: when you next reboot no such message anymore
[10:22] <bazhang> horux /j #ubuntu-es
[10:22] <Chousuke> horux: put the / before the join
[10:22] <Crazed> lets try :)
[10:22] <wols> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    will start your X (hopefully)
[10:22] <horux> join/ #ubuntu-es
[10:22] <Chousuke> no, before...
[10:22] <Crazed> using kde :)
[10:23] <wols>  /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[10:23] <wols> Crazed: tho, using nvidia.com drivers is bad. but your choice if you want to break the package management
[10:23] <Crazed> why is it bad ?
[10:24] <livingdaylight> is there a functional difference installing buntu in xp with wubi or separately?
[10:24] <bazhang> livingdaylight, speed
[10:25] <livingdaylight> bazhang, installing with wubi is quicker?
[10:25] <bazhang> livingdaylight, ubuntu runs slower under wubi
[10:25] <wols> Crazed: cause you intall stuff outside your package management
[10:25] <livingdaylight> bazhang, but functionally is the same, so i could access external ext3 hard drive
[10:26] <Wouter136321> when I scroll up or down in Firefox 3 Beta 5 in gMail my whole pc starts to stall. Does anyone else have this problem? When I enable the basic HTML version of gmail there's no problems.
[10:26] <wols> whenever you update your kernel it will break, X updates can break it, so can libGL updates
[10:26] <bazhang> he left
[10:27] <wols> livingdaylight: yes you can
[10:27] <bazhang> he left too :)
[10:27] <markf> Wouter136321: I don't have this problem
[10:28]  * wols needs to type faster
[10:28] <kamashadi> the latest opera has  64 bit support?
[10:28] <bazhang> !opera
[10:28] <Wouter136321> markf, any idea what could be the issue? it scrolls horribly slow and it even makes my music stutter
[10:29] <wols> Wouter136321: javascript
 i looked up there but thr 64 bit is not there
[10:29] <bazhang> !bot | kamashadi
[10:29] <markf> Wouter136321: Do you have an ATI video card?
[10:29] <KenSentMe> I got a problem with wine in Hardy. I have to run wine in a virtual window because i have dual screen setup. But if wine is on my main screen i can't get to the menu's and stuff anymore, even if i alt-tab to another program. Is there a solution for this?
[10:30] <markf> Wouter136321: The solution might be that you have to turn the desktop effects off.
[10:30] <bazhang> Wouter136321, does sound like javascript
[10:31] <ArthurArchnix> Wouter136321: You on intel graphics card?
[10:32] <bazhang> !test
[10:32] <Wouter136321> markf, no it's NVidia
[10:32] <Zoup> Hey :) how can i disable IDE supporti in boot parameters ?
[10:32] <Wouter136321> markf, I'll try turning them off completely, I now only have them on medium
[10:33] <markf> Wouter136321: okay, let's see if that improves it...
[10:33] <ronino> how can I find out what package a given file belongs to?
[10:33] <tech0007> ronino: dpkg -S <path to file>
[10:33] <ronino> tech0007: thx
[10:33] <Wouter136321> markf, it improves a bit, but it still stalls and hangs...
[10:33] <markf> Wouter136321: do you have some add-ons installed in the FF 3b5?
[10:34] <Wouter136321> markf, yeah. I've disabled all of them and it didn't solve anything
[10:34] <Rockers2> Hi..i wana install new version of ubuntu on my pc 8.04..and i have seen that its now have the support to install inside windows...so i wanna know if i install it using this method will it works fine ? and will it ask to to where i should install it. bcoz i have got 2 HDDs. 1 is Sata And other Is Old IDE HDD.And i want to install on IDE HDD..
[10:34] <markf> Wouter136321: this is strange... only with gmail, right?
[10:35] <Wouter136321> markf, other websites are fine, so far.
[10:35] <wols> Rockers2: if it installs inside windows it will install on your windows partition making a big file there
[10:36] <wols> if you want to install it on the iDE hdd you will have to install ubuntu normally
[10:36] <Rockers2> hMmm..ok
[10:36] <markf> Wouter136321: have you tried to search in google if more people have the same issue with FF 3b5 and gmail?
[10:36] <GG3> I am not used to ubuntu/linux .. i dragged my mouse and screen moved left along with all the programs
[10:36] <GG3> how do I get it back? I can see all the running program in Alt+tab
[10:36] <Wouter136321> markf, no, let me do that first. Thanks bro for the help :)
[10:37] <alinuxfan> GG3, i think you sent the program to the other virtual desktop
[10:37] <markf> Wouter136321: you're welcome. see u later
[10:37] <alinuxfan> hit cntl+alt+left arrow
[10:37] <GG3> yes that works
[10:38] <markf> Wouter136321: oh, I have another suggestion...
[10:38] <GG3> how many virtual virtual desktop are there
[10:38] <Wouter136321> markf, tell me
[10:38] <joot> Wouter136321, I was getting a prob with firefox fading then hanging I fixed by turning off descktop effects
[10:38] <alinuxfan> GG3, in the bottom right of your default gnome desktop there are a couple boxes
[10:38] <alinuxfan> by default there are 2
[10:39] <Wouter136321> joot, I just turned it off, but it doesn't fix the problem really
[10:39] <alinuxfan> you can right click and change preferences and add more rows
[10:39] <JontyO> hi

[10:44] <ArthurArchnix> Wouter136321: Do you have an intel graphics card and are you running hardy?
[10:45] <twinkie_addict> is the c compiler broken in hardy?
[10:45] <fevets> im having problems with my netgear wireless connection not auto connecting at login/startup
[10:45] <bazhang> twinkie_addict, nay

[10:45] <mcphail> twinkie_addict: have you installed build-essential?
[10:45] <twinkie_addict> ./configure gives c compiler cant create executebles
[10:45] <Wouter136321> markf, my CPU runs at around 14% when I'm doing nothing, but the moment I switch to Firefox and start scrolling it goes to nearly a 100
[10:45] <tech0007> JontyO: are installing or upgrading?
[10:46] <vemon> Wouter136321, lot's of pages with flash open?
[10:46] <twinkie_addict> no figured it would already be installed ill do that now thanks
[10:46] <Wouter136321> ArthurArchnix, I've got an NVidia card with Hardy
[10:46] <Wouter136321> vemon: nah, just gmail
[10:46] <mcphail> twinkie_addict: don't think ubuntu has ever installed it as default
[10:47] <markf> Wouter136321: I will look for the link with the workaround with high CPU usage...
[10:47] <Wouter136321> markf, thanks!
[10:49] <markf> Wouter136321: here is one bug report... that are probably more bc I saw a work arround... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/227185

[10:50] <bitkidoku> hi there
[10:50] <amorphous_> could anyone tell me the permissions that should be on my printer?
[10:50] <kajo> Yo. Trying to do a minimal install of 7.10 from the minimal disk. Completed install and restarted, followed most of the instructions here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal ||| under barebones- except I don't want a graphical login, and I chose fluxbox instead of IceWM. But I'm still a relative noob- I used startx, and I got sent to fluxbox, but my rightclick doesn't work, so I can't open a terminal. What's more, ctr + alt + f2 thr
[10:50] <kajo> ough f6 don't bring up anything more than a black screen.... help? (sorry for this being really long...)
[10:50] <markf> Wouter136321: this is the one I mean: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/215728
[10:50] <amorphous_> ie) /dev/lp0
[10:51] <bazhang> kajo, there should be file like flux.conf that you can edit
[10:51] <Wouter136321> markf, thanks, I'll take a look to find the workaround
[10:51] <kajo> bazhang, you still online? :D I don't know how to access any files because of afforementioned dillemna, though.
[10:52] <kajo> bazhang, if it helps, my mouse seems to have two shadows.... o.O in fluxbox, I mean.
[10:53] <generic> helo
[10:53] <chalcedony> hi generic
[10:53] <generic> hi
[10:53] <Wouter136321> I also found a bug report that said switching from compiz to metacity should fix the problem. I don't even know which one I'm running... What do you guys think?
[10:53] <Wouter136321> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/204308
[10:53] <bitkidoku> when I do "sudo ls -al" in a directory there are some files that has question marks(????) as owner, mod, size etc. I think this is not normal, because whenever I try to remove those files I get "No such file or directory"
[10:53] <bitkidoku> how do I remove those files?
[10:53] <generic> hey i am trying to restrict my users from printing through cups
[10:53] <kajo> bazhang, or ANYONE, why aren't my TTY's working?
[10:54] <generic> i did <Location />

[10:54] <remoteCTRL> does anyone happen to know what switch to use rar with to create r01...r45...*.rar with partial filesize of 15mb? i can't find anything alike in the man pages...
[10:55] <markf> Wouter136321: yes, there is a work arround. I performed the work arround.
[10:55] <bazhang> http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/fluxbox.htm kajo this is for debian but should be true for ubuntu also; there are several threads on ubuntuforums as well
[10:56] <generic> chalcedony
[10:58] <markf> Wouter136321: have you found the workaround?
[10:58] <remoteCTRL> ah it is called volumes that is why i diondt find it  rat -v15M
[10:58] <remoteCTRL> rar even
[10:59] <kajo> bazhang, while I still want to know why my tty's aren't working (that link didn't seem to answer that question), I am curious- is it possible to start a session with a window manager without using a display manager (as all display managers seem to have gui logins?)
[10:59] <amorphous_> I'm having issues with a printer (hp1020) - worked fine before... stopped working (am Gutsy atm), /var/log/messages says " Juno kernel: [37018.986602] usb 6-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 27", with the addres incrementing per line, and every 4th line is "May 17 10:55:37 Juno HP_LaserJet_1020?serial=JL2XQSY: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...

[10:59] <amorphous_> s could relate to? I've installed according to openprinting rules using foo2zjs, hotplug is installed etc... those are the only things i can find (google) that relates to this printer. am at a loss :(
[11:00] <bazhang> kajo, have not read the fluxbox documentation enough myself (linked on that page) to answer that
[11:00] <kajo> bazhang, so my second question is fluxbox dependent, not just a general linux question?

[11:13] <fevets> on windows I can VPN into my work and then remote desktop to my work PC, can i do the same from ubuntu ?
[11:13] <alastair_> Networkmanager keeps connecting to some berk's unsecured wireless network instead of our own.  It has to roam between nodes.
[11:14] <markf> Wouter136321: delete urlclassifier3.sqlite
[11:14] <bazhang> alastair_, set the essid
[11:14] <markf> Wouter136321: if this one is there also, delete urlclassifier3.sqlite-journal as well.

[11:15] <andrewbuntu_> When I upgrade my system, I can no longer connect to the internet wirelessly...And my ethernet connection will not ever work. Anyone have a solution for that?

[11:16] <markf> Wouter136321: ok, cool... open Firefox again... you will see that the file size of  urlclassifier3.sqlite will stay 32k ;)
[11:16] <frodon> hello, does any of you know if partimage is on the hardy liveCD ?
[11:16] <Wouter136321> markf, it was 32MB man!
[11:16] <markf> Wouter136321: yeah, that
[11:16] <[1]IMD> andrewbuntu, you'll probably need to check out ndiswrapper
[11:17] <andrewbuntu_> My wireless card works now...This is a fresh install...if I upgrade, it no longer works...
[11:17] <markf> Wouter136321: yeah, that's causing slowness... and is the bug which was reported
[11:17] <DNA24> how to install rpm package on ubuntu ?
[11:17] <bazhang> DNA24, best to check in repos first

[11:19] <Wouter136321> bazhang, markf, what can I do?
[11:19] <andrewbuntu_> How do I install the driver on ndiswrapper? I read through several forum pages, and couldn't find my driver...

[11:20] <eridam> hi, I want to upgrade my feisty to hardy, but I can only with aptitude dist-upgrade command. As always, I have changed the /etc/apt/sources.list, but this time aptitude update cannot find the repo files. Any ideas ?

[11:23] <kajo> bazhang, I'm typing up a forum post that's fairly in depth... but I still don't understand how/why my tty's aren't working. Is that also fluxbox related? I thought tty's went a level deeper than the window managers...
[11:23] <Wouter136321> does anyone know what desktop manager is installed by default: compiz or metacity?
[11:23] <dannyr_> hi - metacity was on mine

[11:26] <mjnbrn> dear god thats alot of people
[11:26] <bazhang> krammer_, 3945?
[11:26] <krammer_> my card yes
[11:26] <markf> Wouter136321: After checking... I have online the sun-java6-plugin installed which automatically installed when I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:26] <markf> Wouter136321: I mean, I have only... sorry...
[11:26] <chalcedony> someone told me to type control+akt+f(1-9) .. he also said that control+alt+f2 would get me back to the gui .. but it's not.. what to do??
[11:26] <markf> Wouter136321: I mean, I have only... so, not both... 5 and 6
[11:27] <bazhang> krammer_, you can enable backports to get that working if it is of concern to you
[11:27] <Wouter136321> markf, could that cause problems for me you think, having both?
[11:27] <krammer_> can you direct me?
[11:27] <bazhang> chalcedony, f7 for gui
[11:27] <jaffarkelshac> i am having a peculiar annoying issue, i plug my wireless card (usb) it disconnects, connects and keeps doing that for a while and then never connects again, i have t remove it and plug it in again (dwl-g122)
[11:27] <markf> chalcedony: Ctrl + Alt + F7 brings you back to the GUI
[11:27] <bazhang> krammer_, to enable the backports?
[11:27] <krammer_> yes
[11:28] <kling0n> i need a backup solution that can put a filesystem (uncompressed) on multiple discs (spanning backup) does anyone have any good suggestions for a solution ?
[11:28] <bazhang> krammer_, do it in synaptic package manager then refresh
[11:28] <krammer_> ok
[11:29] <markf> Wouter136321: yes, that might be the cause... I have only the 6.06 version and not also the 5. gmail is ok with me when scrolling with Desktop effect on full.
[11:29] <chalcedony> markf control+alt+f7 gives me a flashing prompt in the top left corner, nothing else.
[11:29] <kajo> Can anyone help me understand why my tty's aren't working?  Further: I am curious- is it possible to start a session with a window manager without using a display manager (as all display managers seem to have gui logins?)
[11:29] <Frost> Hello.
[11:29] <Wouter136321> markf, I'll uninstall java5 and see what happens
[11:29] <markf> chalcedony: try to do Ctrl + Alt + F1 first
[11:29] <kajo> display manager = gdm, wdm, xdm, etc...
[11:29] <krammer_> anybody using the new os? if so any problems yet?
[11:30] <kajo> wdinow manager, in this case, = fluxbox
[11:30] <steph_> hello
[11:30] <kling0n> argh... more bloody dbus errors
[11:30] <markf> Wouter136321: the sun-java5-plugin right?
[11:30] <kling0n> hardy is next to unusable
[11:30] <Frost> I've just ran the update manager and I can see that there's an update which appears as grayed out, and I cannot select it. Is this normal? I'm using ubuntu's 64bit version, is that makes a difference.
[11:30] <chalcedony> hi kling0n
[11:30] <steph_> I'm sorry if I'm on the wrong channel, but I need some help with the wget command
[11:30] <krammer_> i just upgrade from feisty
[11:31] <kling0n> sorry for broding... but 1/3 of my application launches goes bad due to dbus errors
[11:31] <kling0n> chalcedony: hi :)
[11:31] <steph_> how can I get a web folder using wget ?
[11:31] <gordonjcp> steph_: wget -r

[11:31] <chalcedony> krammer_ i'm trying to upgrade from feisty to hardy, it stopped at gutsy

[11:31] <steph_> I want to retrieve the www.website/folder/subfolder*

[11:32] <steph_> thanks gordonjcp kling0n
[11:32] <mjnbrn> would i be better off running a Hardy Server or a Gutsy Server ?
[11:32] <Wouter136321> markf, now uninstalling java5 basically, should I only uninstall the plugin?
[11:32] <gordonjcp> mjnbrn: hardy is an LTS distribution
[11:33] <gordonjcp> mjnbrn: so it'll be supported for at least three years
[11:33] <markf> Wouter136321: both would make sense... I don't have both
[11:33] <Wouter136321> markf, ok, done
[11:33] <Wouter136321> let's see
[11:33] <bazhang> five years for server
[11:33] <mjnbrn> gordonjcp: thank you :)
[11:33] <gordonjcp> bazhang: oh, is it?
[11:33] <bazhang> !lts
[11:33] <gordonjcp> mjnbrn: it's also generally newer to begin with, which is good ;-)
[11:33] <markf> Wouter136321: try to close ff first ;)
[11:33] <mcphail> mjnbrn: dapper is still a good call for servers
[11:34] <steph_> kling0n, worked perfectly thank you
[11:34] <kling0n> youre welcome
[11:34] <Wouter136321> markf, yeah I closed it and restarted it, problem stays...
[11:35] <ninina> Is anyone else intimidated by the shear number of programs you can install?
[11:35] <mcphail> ninina: no. just install them all :)
[11:35] <markf> Wouter136321: then we need to search if more people have the same problem... :(
[11:35] <ninina> so much clutter
[11:35] <Agony> Can someone tell me where the best place to ask for ALSA support would be?
[11:35] <bazhang> chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ninina
[11:35] <mjnbrn> mcphail: I tried installing all the games in the repos once and it broke.
[11:35] <kling0n> ninina: use the "add application"
[11:35] <bazhang> #alsa
[11:36] <Agony> Fair enough.
[11:36] <kling0n> ninina: from the menu... its nicely categorized and has ratings

[11:36] <Wobbo> Can anyone help me, i got my new computer, it has 2 nvidia 9800gtx, i installed nv beta drivers since default nv drivers don't support this card yet, now i want to setup sli but i can't find any documentation on it
[11:36] <aliosha> hi, I trashed my fstab. I'm using livecd and don't want to wipe my installation...
[11:36] <kajo> Does anyone have a foggy idea of why my tty's would just turn up black screens instead of prompts?
[11:36] <Wouter136321> markf, actually I have to go now. I'll try to find a solution later. I just saw that the Firefox 3 RC1 is out, so maybe that solves some probs
[11:36] <bazhang> puccio, the -16 is standard
[11:37] <digitalspaghetti> Anyone in the UK watching BBC News 24 just now :)  Ubuntu on Click
[11:37] <kling0n> Wobbo: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8174/README/32bit_html/index.html
[11:37] <puccio> kling0n, I'm on an intel laptop, the card uses the driver ipw3945 is it possible?
[11:37] <bazhang> !ot | digitalspaghetti
[11:37] <markf> Wouter136321: how about in FF2? you can install this as well...
[11:37] <kahrytan> ninina,  The reason there is allot of programs because there is no single !best application for any single user. It's best to go over each program and find one that fits you. If you need help with it, message me.
[11:37] <puccio> bazhang, -16 is standar but which kernel numer exactly ?
[11:37] <Wouter136321> markf, is it possible to run them together on one system?
[11:37] <bazhang> puccio, you using proposed?
[11:37] <mcphail> kajo: is compiz and/or xgl running? I know someone who had to disable them to get a tty
[11:38] <kling0n> puccio: this might be for you: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/using-ipw3945-instead-iwl3945-in-hardy.html
[11:38] <aliosha> can anyone tell me what my fstab should look like? and what the correct permissions for /home &c are?
[11:38] <perlmonkey> greetings from monkey island
[11:39] <Aleksander-pl> Hello. I am trying to connect my Samsung YP-K3 to my Ubuntu Linux and copy files there with AmaroK. I have installed libmtp7, but AmaroK doesn't detect it automatically. When I run dcop kded mediamanager fullList it gives me some errors, such as DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! - what can I do?
[11:39] <kajo> mcphail, I have *nothing* running. I am in fluxbox, trying to install my system. I used startx (purposely have no display manager), and now fluxbox's right click menu is not working, so I can't get to terminal. No problem, except that my tty's won't work either.
[11:39] <puccio> bazhang, I installed all the linux image packages which are available on the repository at the moment (apparently 2 or 3) and I experimented booting with them. WIth the latest one, I have problems
[11:39] <markf> Wouter136321: I read that someone disabled the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications addon and scrolling was ok...
[11:39] <puccio> kling0n, thanks I'll give a look, but it's weird before it was all working fine
[11:39] <bazhang> puccio, which is why they are in proposed :)
[11:39] <soundray> aliosha: it might be easier if you describe the problem you're trying to solve
[11:39] <kahrytan> Aleksander-pl,  isn't there a MSC mode on that player as well?
[11:39] <kajo> mcphail, so no- I have neither of those running. Though, if you asked me to check, I wouldn't know how, as I can't open terminal to run top or pstree. :\
[11:39] <Aleksander-pl> kahrytan, how to check it?
[11:39] <Wouter136321> markf, I tried that, but didn't work
[11:39] <markf> Wouter136321: here is the bug report: you can read it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/217580
[11:39] <kling0n> puccio: i think the driver was dropped in the new release
[11:40] <kahrytan> Aleksander-pl,  Read the players manual. Ifthere is, use that instead. Drag and Drop is easier.
[11:40] <kling0n> puccio: you might try adding the backprts repository
[11:40] <mcphail> kajo: try creating a file called /home/kajo/.config/xserver-xgl/disable and restart x
[11:40] <puccio> bazhang, kling0n so basically you say I should backport to the old driver?
[11:40] <kling0n> puccio: might be the easiest...
[11:40] <markf> Wouter136321: workaround is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4412617
[11:41] <kling0n> puccio: or you could try troubleshooting on the new one "my card doesn't work" is not a lot of description to try and problem solve from :)
[11:41] <kikik> hi
[11:41] <markf> Wouter136321: just read the bug report more... i will read it now as well ;)
[11:41] <puccio> kling0n, i know i know but the only output i get is that with the latest kernel my card really just do nothing, in dmesg i don't have any significant output
[11:41] <aliosha> soundray: ok. my linux doesn't log in (boots ok) and it says because permissions on $home are screwed (paraphrased)
[11:41] <Chrysalis> is there an install cd which includes all 3 ubuntu desktops?
[11:41] <kling0n> puccio: so no driver gets loaded?
[11:41] <puccio> kling0n, I can't even switch it on/off (no led actived)
[11:42] <markf> Wouter136321: which theme are you using?
[11:42] <kling0n> puccio: could you pastebin output from lspci ?
[11:42] <bazhang> Chrysalis, not one supported here
[11:42] <perlmonkey> hi
[11:42] <markf> Wouter136321: I'm using the blue clearlooks theme...
[11:42] <Frost> I've just ran the update manager and I can see that there's an update which appears as grayed out, and I cannot select it. Is this normal? I'm using ubuntu's 64bit version, iכ that makes a difference.
[11:42] <puccio> now I booted frmo the working kernel. Is it out to paste lspci from here?
[11:42] <aliosha> soundray: it gets more fun. /home is a different partition, and the way i managed to screw the permissions was to try and mount it at /home/alex
[11:42] <fla10> hello. I cant connect to MSN in Pidgin, however e.g. IRC works.. I get the error message; "Unable to connect"..
[11:42] <markf> Wouter136321: You can go to: Preference - Appearance
[11:42] <kling0n> !pastebin | puccio
[11:42] <Frost> if even
[11:42] <Chrysalis> bazhang: how about a plain one with no DE
[11:42] <zim> hi all
[11:43] <Chrysalis> bazhang: so i can install whichever de i want after that
[11:43] <zim> just a quick question re. ftp
[11:43] <puccio> kling0n, ok. yes I'm doing it
[11:43] <markf> Wouter136321: You can go to: Preference - Appearance - Clearlooks
[11:43] <perlmonkey> every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs
[11:43] <Wouter136321> markf, on my way
[11:43] <zim> how can I download a directory with ftp
[11:43] <bazhang> !minimal | Chrysalis
[11:43] <markf> Wouter136321: ok
[11:43] <soundray> aliosha: so your data ended up in /home/alex/alex ?
[11:43] <markf> Wouter136321: ok
[11:43] <kajo> How do I create this file without having a terminal or gui to start programs from? ctr + alt +dlt doesn't even work, though I can move my mouse and righ click on the taskbar. Should I just hard restart and go from there?
[11:43] <chalcedony> fla10 msn updates at random times and doesn't keep up with linux very well, wait and it might work again in awhile
[11:43] <markf> Wouter136321: that's the theme I'm using...
[11:43] <kajo> @ mcphail
[11:43] <puccio> kling0n, http://pastebin.com/m4338f229  <-- is it what you meant?
[11:43] <zim> would normaly use scp but can only ftpto this server
[11:43] <Wouter136321> markf, I just have the Firefox default theme
[11:44] <mcphail> kajo: you must have a terminal before you type "startx" :)
[11:44] <fla10> chalcedony: thank you very much
[11:44] <Chrysalis> bazhang: do those have gparted?
[11:44] <aliosha> soundray: yes: well, I ended up with 2 copies of data, because there was already a full set in sda2
[11:44] <Wouter136321> markf, also, I can't find appearance in the preferences of FF
[11:44] <zim> any one here any good with ftp? commandline
[11:44] <kajo> mcphail - I used a terminal to type startx, the terminal that started when I booted; I don't have gdm or other display mgr. After typing startx, I lost access.
[11:45] <bazhang> Chrysalis, it is a 9mb installer; only what you want gets installed, including gnome or kde
[11:45] <Wouter136321> markf, if I go to the Add-ons and look at themes I only see the Firefox default theme
[11:45] <perlmonkey> hi
[11:45] <kling0n> puccio: does the driver load ?
[11:45] <soundray> aliosha: I don't think that's what happened. Rather, your sda2 partition was mounted twice -- once on /media/sda2 and once on /home/alex -- correct?
[11:45] <perlmonkey> every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs
[11:45] <bazhang> !hi | perlmonkey
[11:45] <aliosha> it wasn't on /media/sda2 at all
[11:45] <perlmonkey> bazhang hi
[11:45] <markf> Wouter136321: It's the Ubuntu them... you have to go to System - blabla...
[11:45] <puccio> kling0n, as I was saying, I am now on the working kernel, otherwise I wouldn't be connected to Internet :)
[11:45] <bazhang> perlmonkey, you have support question or just wish to chat?
[11:45] <kajo> concerning Chrysalis, isn't there a DVD that has all the 'buntu's on it?
[11:45] <mcphail> kajo: try pressing "Alt-SysRq-R" then "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace"
[11:46] <puccio> kling0n, if you are still here I can lspci from the non-working kernel, copy it locally, and then reconnect and paste it
[11:46] <perlmonkey> bazhang I have a support question
[11:46] <perlmonkey> every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs
[11:46] <soundray> aliosha: is alex the only user you created on the system?
[11:46] <kling0n> puccio: oh... ok but when you boot into the new kernel,. does the driver load? does the card show up in network-manager?
[11:46] <bazhang> !ask | perlmonkey
[11:46] <aliosha> soundray: yes
[11:46] <perlmonkey> every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs
[11:46] <kling0n> puccio: lspci should not be different between kernels
[11:46] <kajo> mcphail, I typed them in the wrong order. :\ now I just have a black screen. xD
[11:47] <Chrysalis> kajo: yea i think there is, though i dont have a dvd drive ;p

[11:47] <perlmonkey> bazhang: many thanks!
[11:47] <bazhang> kajo, one that is not supported here yes
[11:47] <soundray> aliosha: can you boot the system from a live CD?

[11:48] <CorpseFeeder> can anyone tell me what Grub error 17 is?
[11:48] <perlmonkey> I think the reason why my network connection isnt starting automatically is because I had to use wpa_supplicant for WPA support

[11:51] <soundray> aliosha: is this the problematic one or the corrected one?
[11:51] <TheJudasPriest> uh is there a general channel for ubuntu? may as well ask if im already here
[11:51] <noam_> there's a broken package update for libtotem-plupdate. i guess a bug has been reported already?
[11:52] <Arelis> Hello. How do i get my microphone to work on Ubuntu? I searched google, but most of the instructions there don't help.. but i think it's also because my pc's sound doesn't work. So how do i get THAT to work? It worked fine for about 2~4 years, but now i have no sound anymore, and the speakers are plugged in.
[11:52] <bazhang> chat in #ubuntu-offtopic perlmonkey
[11:52] <Wouter136321> markf, it makes scrolling on websites much better, but on gmail it still causes the same problem, albeit a bit less ;)
[11:52] <kahrytan> CorpseFeeder,  update-grub
[11:52] <Wouter136321> markf, so guess we solved half the problem now ;)
[11:52] <soundray> TheJudasPriest: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:52] <rom> hi
[11:52] <TheJudasPriest> thanks alot soundray
[11:52] <rom> I have a problem with copy paste

[11:53] <rom> open gedit, paste with Ctrl+V, it works
[11:53] <rom> now close firefox
[11:53] <rom> then Ctrl+V doesn't work anymore
[11:53] <rom> :(
[11:53] <markf> Wouter136321: really?
[11:53] <aliosha> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12691/ (that was corrected, previosly... /home/alex was /media/sda2)
[11:53] <soundray> aliosha: how and where did you mount your root partition?
[11:54] <rsk> rom correct that's how it works.
[11:54] <aliosha> soundray: um?
[11:54] <aliosha> soundray: at the moment is at /media/disk-1
[11:54] <soundray> aliosha: is /dev/sda3 your root?
[11:54] <aliosha> soundray: yes
[11:54] <perlmonkey> CorpseFeeder: sorry i do not know for sure, formatting should remove it.. maybe this is helpful: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4494
[11:54] <rom> rsk : it's a bit annoying
[11:55] <rsk> yea
[11:55] <kahrytan> perlmonkey,  Wouldn't update-grub work?
[11:55] <soundray> aliosha: can you do a 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt' and let me have the output of 'ls -l /mnt' (okay to paste it here if it's just one line)
[11:56] <Wouter136321> markf, yeah I experience increased performance in scrolling in general (also in chat here), but the gmail problem is still there. So I think there still is another bug that is causing this
[11:56] <Wouter136321> markf, I really have to go now tho. Thanks a lot for all the help!

[11:58] <onats> anyone here using  a 7600GT AGP card on 64 bit amd?

[11:59] <Wouter136321> markf, see you man! Thanks a lot :)
[12:00] <soundray> aliosha: okay, I'm starting to understand. I think all you need to do is to fix the permissions on the mountpoint itself -- the contents of your /home/user partition seem okay
[12:00] <Wobbo_> if sli is turned on in xorg.conf, would it fail to load if sli hardware wasn't propperly installed?
[12:01] <BobB> hi, how does one go about mounting a usb card reader?  There is no /dev/sda showing in my /dev/ folder...  Thanks

[12:01] <Nitro282> salve
[12:01] <soundray> aliosha: I would do it thus: 'sudo chroot /media/disk-1 bash' followed by 'chown alex.alex /home/alex ; chmod 755 /home/alex'
[12:02] <aliosha> soundray: ok... what do those do? :D
[12:02] <Nitro282> ma è il canale italiano?
[12:02] <soundray> aliosha: the chroot command runs a shell which assumes that /media/disk-1 is /
[12:03] <markf> Wouter126321: you're welcome. have fun with the new look ;)
[12:03] <Nitro282> qualcuno ha mai usato una videocamera DV coe webcam o per streaming??

[12:03] <_sammy_> i just cleaned out my /var/cache/apt/archives. It was 12.23GB in size!
[12:03] <aliosha> soundray: useful stuff
[12:03] <soundray> aliosha: that way, when you fix the permissions, it knows that you mean the 'alex' in your installed system, not the 'alex' in the live system, which presumably doesn't exist
[12:04] <aliosha> soundray: very much so
[12:04] <dev_eddie> can someone confirm that libtotem-plparser10 is BROKEN right now?
[12:04] <salamat> I want to open 'search for file' when I push the F3 key. In ubuntu 7.10 I use as keyboard shortcuts and worked.
[12:04] <salamat> but in hardy dos not work.
[12:05] <soundray> aliosha: I think there ought to be a way of changing ownership by using the numeric user ID, but I don't know how.
[12:05] <Xtreme_Great> hi all
[12:06] <aliosha> soundray: so chown is a way of changing owners, making /home/alex have owner 'alex' and permissions for 'alex'
[12:06] <Nitro282> salve
[12:06] <rom> rsk: glipper resolve the problem :)

[12:08] <Arelis> Xtreme_Great: yesa
[12:08] <Arelis> yes*]
[12:08] <soundray> aliosha: chmod 755 sets the permissions on a directory to 'read, write, enter' for the owner, 'read, enter' for the group and 'read, enter' for everyone else

[12:13] <MartinCz> Hi. What should I read to understand terms like: tty, terminal, getty, agetty, mingetty? Thanks.
[12:13] <eugen> hello everzbody
[12:13] <hwilde> MartinCz, open a terminal and type in "man something" to get the manual
[12:14] <hwilde> MartinCz, you can probably find the same manual online
[12:14] <chalcedony> hwilde i did, it returned a prompt, what should i do now please?
[12:14] <MartinCz> hwilde: Well, man getty does not work and man agetty and man mingetty refers to getty :)
[12:14] <chalcedony> perlmonkey hi from earlier :)
[12:15] <hwilde> MartinCz, man getty :  http://www.hmug.org/man/8/getty.php

[12:15] <dev_eddie> chalcedony: just answer the questions
[12:15] <royalshelter> Hi,there,can anyone help me with the wireless settings under ubuntu-server? I have already installed gnome desktop enviroument. I need to connect to the wireless router, but I dont find any because I just install the gnome-core
[12:15] <soundray> cyberix: just give it an hour or two to do its thing. After that, it will rarely get in your way any more.
[12:15] <eugen> i have a problem i will install bz2
[12:15] <BobB> thanks all, sorted it out.  Had to sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd
[12:15] <plug_n_play> can anyone help me install the nvidia binary driver?
[12:15] <hwilde> !nvidia | plug_n_play
[12:15] <BobB> not a clue what sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd does though.  Any explanations?
[12:15] <plug_n_play> ubottu: ta
[12:15] <MartinCz> Thanks.
[12:16] <hwilde> BobB, it removes the module that provides the ehci  (ehanced something something)
[12:16] <void^> BobB: removes the driver for ehci compatible usb2 controllers.
[12:16] <plug_n_play> ubottu: but my restricted manager says no resticted drivers are in use
[12:16] <plug_n_play> aha!
[12:16] <hwilde> plug_n_play, type "nvidia settings"
[12:16] <naxa> how do i change compiz themes in ubuntu?
[12:16] <chalcedony> dev_eddie or someone i didn't get any questions ?
[12:16] <hwilde> !themes | naxa
[12:17] <plug_n_play> hwilde: i only have nvidia-installer in my path
[12:17] <naxa> hwilde, thanks
[12:17] <hwilde> plug_n_play, follow the link from the bot
[12:17] <BobB> hwilde, void^ ah thanks, it must be because the card reader is a bit dogdy,
[12:17] <hwilde> !nvidia > plug_n_play
[12:17] <Xtreme_Great> hwilde: Doesn't rmmod do the same?
[12:17] <hwilde> Xtreme_Great, man rmmod   will show you the manual
[12:17] <amorphous_> nobody knows about printing? :(
[12:18] <hwilde> !cups | amorphous_
[12:18] <plug_n_play> hwilde: i followed the binary install howto, installed nvidia-glx-new which dragged in resticted-modules.  modprobe nvidia said: error running install command for nvidia
[12:18] <hwilde> plug_n_play, run it with "sudo" before it
[12:18] <royalshelter> anyone can help me fix the wireless settings? thanks a lot~~
[12:18] <plug_n_play> hwilde: yeah, sudo of course, i did that
[12:18] <perlmonkey> who called me
[12:19] <Xtreme_Great> hwilde: Can you tell where I can get manpages for the kernel module functions like init_module
[12:19] <perlmonkey> chalcedony: hi!
[12:19] <plug_n_play> hwilde: cmd was: sudo modprobe nvidia
[12:19] <chalcedony> perlmonkey :)
[12:19] <hwilde> plug_n_play, that removes it!
[12:19] <doctorow> If I want to use apt-get (not Synaptic) to install all updated packages, what's the syntax?
[12:19] <hwilde> plug_n_play, reboot and run "nvidia-settings"
[12:19] <hwilde> doctorow, sudo apt-get install <package>
[12:19] <Jezz> what is the diffirence between ubuntu studio and normal ubuntu?
[12:19] <hwilde> !apt | doctorow
[12:20] <hwilde> !studio | Jezz
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: Hey hi..
[12:20] <Jezz> yeah i know it has extra apps and a new theme
[12:20] <Jezz> is that the only diffirence?
[12:20] <hwilde> Xtreme_Great, you should google them at a good site like die.net or hmug
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: restricted drivers
[12:20] <doctorow> That hwilde -- I've been wading through the man without much luck -- do you know the answer?
[12:20] <hwilde> doctorow, sudo apt-get install <package>
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: ubuntu
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: drivers
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: drivers
[12:20] <Xtreme_Great> ubottu: driver
[12:20] <FloodBot2> Xtreme_Great: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:20] <soundray> Xtreme_Great: don't fish please
[12:21] <hwilde> Xtreme_Great, /msg him
[12:21] <plug_n_play> hwilde: ok, so i am going to install nvidia-glx-new from aptitude (i have just removed it)
[12:21] <salamat> I wanted to open 'search for file' when I push the F3 key. In ubuntu 7.10 I use as keyboard shortcuts and it worked. But in hardy open 'Tracker Search Tool'. How can I change it to open 'search for file' ????
[12:21] <hwilde> !botabuse > Xtreme_Great
[12:21] <soundray> Xtreme_Great: try /msg ubottu restricted
[12:21] <hwilde> !keytouch | salamat
[12:21] <doctorow> hwilde, no I want to update ALL the updated packages, without enumerating them. When I try to run Synaptic, it shows me a long list, but then crashes.
[12:21] <hwilde> doctorow, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:21] <Zuljin`> re
[12:21] <doctorow> Thanks, hwilde!
[12:22] <Martiini> how do I create kernel .config  .. I get zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/config   gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory
[12:22] <salamat> hwilde: ubottu: thanks
[12:22] <Jezz> i saw someone on ubuntu and he had a bar on the desktop with usages like cpu etc.
[12:22] <tuntun> Got a section of highlighted text? Need to put in a field that is out of view? Yes, its a constant gripe. Luckily there is the extension "dragtoscroll". This needs to be fixed in ff3 as it only requires a tiny amount of code (eg the extension is 3 KB) and it will be even more important as ff3 finally has recieved native ability to drag-and-drop between tabs.
[12:22] <aliosha> soundray: failure. ouch
[12:22] <Jezz> does anyone know what that is?
[12:22] <Dr_willis> Martiini,  that proc thing  - is a feature that not all kernels have enabled.
[12:22] <soundray> Martiini: the config of the current kernel is in /boot
[12:22] <hwilde> Jezz,  system monitor
[12:22] <Jezz> oh
[12:22] <Jezz> ok
[12:22] <damouille> hello anyone
[12:23] <Martiini> soundray: duh, obviously :)
[12:23] <Xtreme_Great> damouille: hi...
[12:23] <Dr_willis> The kernel .config  is in /boot ? never seen that in there...
[12:23] <hwilde> Jezz, right click on the panel I think you can add it
[12:23] <soundray> aliosha: what did it say?
[12:23] <hwilde> Martiini, if you don't know where the kernel config goes then you should probably not mess with it...
[12:23] <Jezz> well im not on ubuntu now but will try it thnx
[12:23] <soundray> Dr_willis: /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[12:24] <Martiini> Dr_willis:  Im on gentoo and all kernel configs are in /boot
[12:24] <damouille> y a t il des francais ?
[12:24] <hwilde> !fr | damouille
[12:24] <aliosha> soundray: there was the same ignoring .dmrc (permissions need to be 644) message, then a "GDM was unable to start, this means you home folder is full or inaccessible"
[12:24] <Dr_willis> Martiini,  well gentoo is a little 'different' then most disrtos. :)
[12:24] <perlmonkey> damouille: bonjour
[12:24] <royalshelter> If I want to get my computer into wireless internet, what package should I install?
[12:24] <hwilde> aliosha, sudo chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
[12:25] <damouille> ok sorry i am a new
[12:25] <fevets> Ubuntu 8.04 .. having big problems with wireless, network-manager and VPN (PPTP) .. anyone able to help ?
[12:25] <perlmonkey> fweeeench
[12:25] <hwilde> royalshelter, did you try the system menu?
[12:25] <chalcedony> [07:11:56] <hwilde> chalcedony, sudo dpkg -a --configure <chalcedony> It went back to the prompt. I did not get any questions. WHAT should I do now?
[12:25] <void^> Dr_willis: ubuntu is a little different than most distros too, in the sense that they don't enable /proc/config.gz for some reason ;)
[12:25] <Martiini> Dr_willis:  and ubuntu config is also in /boot
[12:25] <damouille> hello perlmonkey
[12:25] <yamanickill> anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ?
[12:25] <hwilde> chalcedony, now you should try what you were doing before
[12:25] <perlmonkey> damouille: whats up
[12:25] <soundray> aliosha: okay, changing the permissions has not worked then. hwilde's suggestion won't work -- of course you know that...
[12:25] <perlmonkey> ca va?
[12:25] <aliosha> soundray, hwilde: I am running from livecd, so need the bash thing to make /media/disk root first...
[12:25] <soundray> aliosha: you're booted back into the live CD?
[12:25] <chalcedony> hwilde thank you
[12:25] <royalshelter> fevets:I have install network-manager, but the icon doesn't appear
[12:26] <Jezz> also, the bar on the top seems "flat" in the some screenshots it looks a bit more 3d
[12:26] <hwilde> aliosha,   type in "sudo fdisk -l" and figure out which disk like /dev/hda1 or whatever
[12:26] <Dr_willis> void^ i must of overlooked that file. :) i recall others asking about the kernel .config in here. and never seeing them get that answer. :) but then again.. I havent had to mess with the kernel in ages. (yea!)
[12:26] <soundray> aliosha: and you've mounted /dev/sda3 on /media/disk ?
[12:26] <fevets> royalshelter: not sure i can help .. am having enough problems myself :(
[12:26] <damouille> oui merci et toi
[12:26] <aliosha> soundray: yeah
[12:26] <chalcedony> hwilde i still don't get the gui at all, only the flashing prompt in the top left.
[12:26] <royalshelter> hehe
[12:26] <Jezz> see the diffirence for example: http://andrew.wedderburn.googlepages.com/screenshot1.png and http://www.belutz.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/screenshot-desktop.png the second screen bar looks diffirent?
[12:26] <aliosha> soundray: different from last time dw
[12:26] <damouille> juste un ptit blem
[12:26] <hwilde> chalcedony, from terminal type "sudo synaptic"
[12:26] <kelio> irc://irc.rizon.net/FSS
[12:26] <Jezz> not so flat
[12:26] <fevets> royalshelter: what kernel are u running ?
[12:27] <soundray> hwilde: please leave aliosha to me for now. You have enough on your hands
[12:27] <damouille> comment va t on sur le canal ubuntu fr ?
[12:27] <aliosha> :D
[12:27] <perlmonkey> :D
[12:27] <hwilde> soundray, sudo chmod 644 /media/disk/home/aliosha/.dmrc
[12:27] <royalshelter> fevets:when I installed ubuntu desktop, everything is OK, but now Server edititon have so many problems
[12:27] <System79>  o
[12:27] <soundray> hwilde: no, please! (aliosha)
[12:27] <perlmonkey> !fr
[12:27] <royalshelter> fevets: 2.6.24, bash, ubuntu gnome
[12:27] <aliosha> soundray: just mounted sda3 to /mnt
[12:28] <chalcedony> royalshelter you might also ask in #ubuntu-server (they didn't like my question, but will probably like yours MUCH better :)
[12:28] <soundray> aliosha: what does 'ls -l /mnt/.dmrc' give you?
[12:28] <royalshelter> OK
[12:28] <bullgard4> What is the name of a framebuffer driver for Intel chipsets (equivalent to radeonfb for ATI Radeon chipsets)?
[12:28] <aliosha> soundray: no such file or directory
[12:29] <soundray> aliosha: thought so. 'ls -l /media/disk/home/alex' ?
[12:29] <soundray> aliosha: sorry
[12:29] <soundray> aliosha: thought so. 'ls -ld /media/disk/home/alex' ?
[12:29] <legend2440> soundray: i think you need ls -al to show hidden files
[12:30] <aliosha> soundray: total: 0
[12:30] <soundray> legend2440: I know. I'm not trying to do that, though.
[12:30] <aliosha> :D
[12:30] <soundray> aliosha: ls -ld /media/disk/home/alex
[12:30] <aliosha> soundray: drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 1000 4096 2008-05-17 08:46 /media/disk/home/alex
[12:31] <royalshelter> question: how can I join to another channel? this is the first time that I use XChat... thank you
[12:31] <hwilde> royalshelter, /join
[12:31] <aliosha> royalshelter: or /newserver if the new channel is on a different server

[12:32] <plug_n_play> hwilde: hi again
[12:32] <hwilde> plug_n_play, nvidia-settings
[12:32] <plug_n_play> hwilde: yeah, it says i'm not using the NVIDIA driver
[12:32] <Xtreme_Great> smtpd
[12:32] <soundray> aliosha: nothing wrong with that...
[12:32] <hwilde> !nvidia | plug_n_play
[12:33] <aliosha> soundray: /mnt/home/alex is indeed completely empty
[12:33] <plug_n_play> hwilde: it said toi run nvidia-xconfig, which I did.  it changed my xorg to use nvidia rather than nv.  I rebooted and X would not start
[12:33] <hwilde> plug_n_play, I dunno.  the instructions from ubottu work for most ppl
[12:34] <soundray> aliosha: that's fine, it's just a mount point that is unoccupied right now. We'll change that now: do a 'sudo umount /mnt' and 'sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/disk/home/alex'
[12:34] <polysilicon> I added SHMConfig=true in my xorg.conf for gsynaptics to work. But now it just runs doesn't control or change anything. What can be done?
[12:34] <soundray> aliosha: any errors?
[12:34] <fevets> royalshelter: sorry, my wireless keeps dropping out for some unknown reason
[12:34] <aliosha> soundray: but... sda3 is the one mounted at /media/disk...
[12:34] <polysilicon> I am trying to get vertical scrolling working on my touchpad
[12:34] <plug_n_play> hwilde: i did have nvidia working until i upgraded to hardy (was on gutsy before)
[12:34] <soundray> aliosha: well spotted. /dev/sda2
[12:35] <aliosha> soundray: :D
[12:35] <plug_n_play> hwilde: the xorg log says that it could not load nvidia-glx cos there is no kernel driver available
[12:35] <aliosha> soundray: worked fine
[12:35] <plug_n_play> hwilde: trying to load the kernel module says error running install command for it :(
[12:36] <aliosha> soundray: is there a way to *refresh* the user *alex* from that shell which had /mnt/ as /?
[12:36] <hwilde> plug_n_play, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[12:36] <soundray> aliosha: good idea :) 'sudo chroot /media/disk bash'
[12:37] <aliosha> soundray: done
[12:37] <soundray> aliosha: when you've got the chroot # prompt, do a 'su - alex'
[12:37] <soundray> aliosha: any errors?
[12:37] <aliosha> soundray: nope, just the 'this is what sudo does' message
[12:38] <plug_n_play> hwilde: thats the one i have installed, perhaps i need the nvidia-glx (not-new).  i'll try that
[12:38] <soundray> aliosha: you did enter 'su - alex', not sudo something?
[12:38] <aliosha> yep
[12:39] <hwilde> that user won't exist on the livecd
[12:39] <aliosha> soundray: but it always comes up... "to run a command as an administrator..."
[12:39] <soundray> hwilde: it will exist in the chroot, though
[12:39] <aliosha> :D
[12:39] <hwilde> sudo su alex ?

[12:40] <aliosha> soundray: nope, $
[12:41] <soundray> aliosha: that's fine then. Do a 'cd ; ls' and see if it lists the files in your home directory

[12:51] <bt_> mod_cure: man update-rd.d
[12:51] <bt_> sorry, mod_cure: man update-rc.d
[12:51] <plug_n_play> hwilde: but, I don't know how to actually install it...
[12:51] <hwilde> plug_n_play, aptitude search nvidia
[12:51] <hwilde> look for one that says kernel

[12:52] <cedric30> There is something I don't understand with the problem of Openssl and the generation of corrupted key, to be connected to a server you need a key and a passord, even if you find the key you do not have the passwd, isn't it?
[12:52] <chewed-on> soundray: done. . .
[12:52] <hwilde> cedric30, you don't have to put a passphrase on it
[12:52] <chewed-on> soundray: something about drive cleaned.

[12:56] <perlmonkey> webcam problems abound

[13:00] <sarthor> rouini, how you ran that,
[13:00] <sarthor> ??

[13:00] <aliosha> soundray: oh. I *could* try 'chown alex.alex /mnt/home/alex' again...
[13:01] <soundray> aliosha: I think part of the problem is that your user data is all in the root of the partition.
[13:01] <rouini> when i got a call i open my video i have not listen to the person that calls me
[13:01] <soundray> aliosha: I'm not sure, but it's possible that mounting changes the ownership of the mount point. Shall we arrange your data in a more standard fashion?
[13:02] <merlion> #xbins
[13:02] <chewed-on> soundray: my problem is like this guy's: http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=7560

[13:08] <aliosha> soundray: no need... it's just the files "." and ".."
[13:09] <soundray> aliosha: okay. When you do a 'ls -la /home/alex' now, there should only be ., .. and alex in there.
[13:09] <aliosha> soundray: indeed
[13:09] <soundray> aliosha: fix the permissions again with 'chown alex:alex /home/alex/alex'
[13:10] <soundray> aliosha: ownership rather

[13:10] <aliosha> done
[13:10] <soundray> aliosha: then do a 'nano /etc/fstab' and change /home/alex into /home
[13:11] <aliosha> soundray: done
[13:11] <soundray> aliosha: do you want to risk a reboot, or shall we double-check everything?
[13:11] <aliosha> soundray: doublecheck :D, booting a livecd takes *ages*
[13:11] <marcus> salz all
[13:11] <Nom> bleh looks like the desktop setup is having the same trouble... anyone know parameters I can pass which might get me into the installer ?

[13:12] <demon646> hello there... my install cd i just downloaded goes straight to a shell after I choose either 'Install Ubuntu' or 'Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer'.  I just installed and removed the server version with no problems.  Any ideas?
[13:12] <soundray> aliosha: okay. Exit the chroot and check that /media/disk/home/alex/alex has owner 1000 and group 1000
[13:13] <Prodoc> good afternoon
[13:13] <soundray> !hi | Prodoc
[13:13] <aliosha> soundray: check

[13:14] <sarthor> Hi, i can view my creative vista webcam on my xawtv and cheese software, but My gyachi / Kopate is unable to broadcast the view... Help me please.
[13:14] <soundray> aliosha: 'grep home /media/disk/etc/fstab' returns one line which doesn't contain alex anymore?
[13:14] <aliosha> yep
[13:15] <chalcedony> Effex and sarthor you may wish to wait until somebody shows up and looks helpful
[13:15] <soundray> aliosha: I think you're good to go.
[13:15] <aliosha> soundray:
[13:15] <royalshelter> hi, can anyone helpme? when I have download a file, I want to open the containg folder of it, but it is not associated with nautilis(FIle Broswer), so how to?
[13:15] <aliosha> op
[13:15] <Nom> lol if the memory test on the ubuntu installer cd causes my computer to reset, is that a good sign that the RAM is fubar ?
[13:15] <Effex> chalcedony, how do we know who looks helpful? :P
[13:16] <sarthor> chalcedony, Yes, i am waiting, and pasting again, time by time, to get help.
[13:16] <Trium> Soundray looks helpful, but he's a bit busy.. we need a queue system for him hehe
[13:16] <aliosha> soundray et al; wish me luck
[13:16]  * soundray tries to look extremely grumpy and busy
[13:16] <Trium> good luck aliosha!
[13:16] <soundray> aliosha: fingers crossed
[13:16] <sarthor> Trium, Yes, i can see him, he is much busy this time, but i am waiting..

[13:17] <Trium> oo my local alias is working I didnt realise..
[13:17] <rouini> is there i have a problem with skype
[13:17] <n3uromanc3r> help! brasero consistently fails to burn - gnomebaker works fine as does cd/dvd writer built-in to gnome. purely due to speed.  I get fails from all burning apps when the drive tries to burn at full speed.  how do I limit brasero to a lower speed>
[13:17] <soundray> rouini: what problem is that?
[13:17] <Prodoc> It was great to see my Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX work right after I installed Ubuntu 8.04, good work! The problems is, though, that the activity light doesn't light up when the camera is in use. Is this a config option somewhere or should I report this as a bug?
[13:17] <rouini> i have problem with skype
[13:18] <rouini> when i open my video there is no sound
[13:18] <soundray> rouini: did you upgrade to hardy from gutsy?
[13:18] <rouini> skype or what
[13:18] <soundray> rouini: no, ubuntu
[13:18] <rouini> yes i do so
[13:19] <soundray> rouini: you may need the dmix fix. See the factoid:
[13:19] <soundray> !sound | rouini
[13:20] <Prodoc> is there a general location where I can change webcam setting in the first place?
[13:20] <rouini> how we can know our sound card name
[13:21] <soundray> rouini: lspci should tell you
[13:22] <rouini> what is lspci
[13:22] <soundray> Prodoc: do you know the name of the driver that supports your camera?
[13:22] <soundray> rouini: a command that you enter in a terminal window
[13:22] <Prodoc> soundray: according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech it's gspca
[13:23] <Prodoc> but please tell me if there's a way to double check
[13:23] <scizzo-> does lighttpd in ubuntu hardy support mod_ssi in its normal package or do you need something else?
[13:23] <rouini> thanks for every one help me
[13:24] <igge> how can i remove items from the applications menu?
[13:24] <Ziroday> !dvd
[13:24] <scizzo-> igge: right click and edit menus
[13:24] <Trium> igge does the Applications--> Add/Remove not get rid of them?
[13:24] <igge> scizzo: ah that easy.. :)
[13:24] <IntangibleLiquid> I followed the guide in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch and identified the hotkey, I want to report the bug. How to?
[13:25] <igge> Trium: it is wine apps and i deleted my .wine directory
[13:25] <hwilde> !keytouch | IntangibleLiquid
[13:25] <soundray> Prodoc: you can control some driver parameters via the sysctl interface.
[13:25] <Trium> ahhh I'm just removing Wine atm myself
[13:25] <soundray> Prodoc: see 'ls /sys/module/gspca/parameters'
[13:26] <IntangibleLiquid> hwilde, I can't use the touchpad hotkey, is keytouch able to help me with that?
[13:26]  * aliosha cries
[13:26] <Prodoc> soundray: ah, cheers. How do I make sure it's using gspca in the first place?
[13:26] <Trium> welcome back aliosha
[13:26] <aliosha> soundray: the other thing about livecd is that you have to reinstall xchat every time you boot
[13:26] <soundray> Prodoc: if you want to set one, try for example 'echo 4 | sudo tee /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma'
[13:26] <aliosha> hello Trium
[13:27] <soundray> Prodoc: if /sys/module/gspca exists, it's using that driver
[13:27] <sarthor> Hi, i can view my creative vista webcam on my xawtv and cheese software, but My gyachi / Kopate is unable to broadcast the view... Help me please.
[13:27] <n3uromanc3r> help! brasero consistently fails to burn - gnomebaker works fine as does cd/dvd writer built-in to gnome. purely due to speed.  I get fails from all burning apps when the drive tries to burn at full speed.  how do I limit brasero to a lower speed
[13:27] <soundray> aliosha: either that, or you use the chat program that's installed (pidgin, I think)
[13:27] <negge> I found the perfect solution to getting flash working on 64-bit ubuntu, atleast if you have the problem where youtube freezes after 2 seconds. All you need to do is uninstall libflashsupport
[13:27] <yamanickill> anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ?
[13:27] <aliosha> soundray: it didn't work...
[13:27] <Prodoc> soundray: cool, it does
[13:28] <negge> don't know why I didn't think of it sooner
[13:28] <Trium> aye pidgin I think is installed by default
[13:28] <soundray> aliosha: same error?
[13:28] <aliosha> soundray: nope :D
[13:28] <Teapot> Hello. I was wondering if there was a program inside the Ubuntu repositories that I could sudo apt-get, to reconfigure the screen on my laptop.
[13:28] <adam7> negge: doesn't that make the sound stop working?
[13:29] <negge> adam7 nope
[13:29] <igge> Teapot: there is nvidia-settings if you have  a nvidia graphics card
[13:29] <nael_> Hi I am having trouble getting emerald to work on a HP laptop with nvidia graphics , anyone out there have the same problem?
[13:29] <adam7> negge: using Hardy?
[13:29] <negge> tried it on my computer and my friend just switched to hardy 64-bit aswell and it worked right away for him too
[13:29] <negge> adam7 yeah 64-bit hardy
[13:29] <adam7> w/ pulse audio?
[13:29] <adam7> negge: w/ pulse audio?
[13:29] <negge> adam7 I use ALSA
[13:29] <Trium> hmmm anyone now what process the Update Manager uses?
[13:29] <Teapot> igge: Unfortunately, I do not have an Nvidia graphics card.
[13:30] <adam7> negge: ah, then that's why: with pulse, it stops working with sound :)
[13:30] <john> hello
[13:30] <yamanickill> anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ?
[13:30] <Trium> Yamanickill
[13:30] <john> donno
[13:30] <igge> Teapot: then I don't know.. but what do you want to reconfigure?
[13:30] <john> anyone know how to adjust screen brightness in knoppix?
[13:30] <shinao1> hi im using ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop.. i have forgotten all my passwords for my users.. including root
[13:30] <soundray> aliosha: so?
[13:30] <shinao1> how do i reset the root password?
[13:30] <negge> adam7 is there any advantage of using pulseaudio instead of alsa (in this case)?
[13:31] <negge> shinao1 there is no root password
[13:31] <adam7> shinao1: you'll need a live cd
[13:31] <aliosha> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12719/
[13:31] <Trium> yamanickil /usr/share/sounds
[13:31] <aliosha> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12719/
[13:31] <negge> shinao1 boot in recovery mode and change your own pass
[13:31] <Trium> I *think*
[13:31] <freeman> single mode
[13:31] <Teapot> igge: I wish to change the screen resolution and colour depth as the screen on my laptop worked in PCLinuxOS when I did that via the command line.
[13:31] <adam7> negge: not in your case -- pulse has some cool new features, however, like network streaming audio support
[13:31] <Prodoc> soundray: 'ls /sys/module/gspca/parameters' doesn't give me something for the activity light. Does this mean I should report a gspca Package bug?
[13:31] <shinao1> negge: it tried booting to the recovery mode but it still took me to the login gui
[13:31] <adam7> shinao1: did you set a root password for that computer?
[13:31] <shinao1> no i didnt
[13:32] <soundray> aliosha: hmm, interesting...
[13:32] <Ace2016> hey firefox rc1 is here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html
[13:32] <shinao1> but i would like to login and change the passwords since ive forgotten all the passwords on the machine
[13:32] <igge> Teapot: System/Preferences/Screen Resolution doesn't work?
[13:32] <yamanickill> Trium: thanks, that was correct
[13:32] <adam7> shinao1: then using recovery mode should allow you to change the root password -- make sure when you get to the prompt, you do passwd USER to change USER's password
[13:32] <SniZ> hey, i live in belarus, and when i receive ubuntu cd`s, my post wanna take total value from another side of postmail
[13:32] <lintel> bug? Totem occasionally and Kaffeine crash GDM -- are there others with the same issue here?
[13:32] <aliosha> soundray: shiny new errors, good fun ... -_-
[13:32] <Trium> :D
[13:32] <shinao1> ok adam7 ill try again
[13:32] <Teapot> igge: I cannot log in or run X. I must use the command line.
[13:32] <SniZ> 0,88 for each cd
[13:32] <nael_> Hi I am having trouble getting emerald to work on a HP laptop with nvidia graphics , anyone out there have the same problem?
[13:32] <soundray> Prodoc: I reckon there's no harm in filing a wishlist bug for activity light support
[13:32] <shinao1> id like to try a livecd but the cdrom drive on the laptop is messed up
[13:33] <igge> Teapot: ah... then i see... don't know sorry...
[13:33] <Teapot> igge: Okay. Thanks very much for your help.
[13:33] <soundray> Prodoc: on the other hand, it's probably better to get in touch with the gspca developers about this
[13:33] <mohbana> hi, how do i install the divx web playaer?
[13:34] <Prodoc> soundray: ok, different applications using the webcam produce the same result so I'll give that a try
[13:34] <aliosha> mohbana: go to synaptic, search divx player...?
[13:34] <soundray> aliosha: too bad it doesn't say the name of the temp directory that it can't create
[13:35] <aliosha> soundray: yes, indeed
[13:35] <Trium> anyone know much about network configuration??
[13:35] <soundray> aliosha: have you mounted /dev/sda3 yet?
[13:35] <legend2440> soundray: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288053
[13:36] <aliosha> soundray:  sda3 is at /mnt, sda2 is at /mnt/home
[13:36] <igge> Teapot: not 100% but maybe "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[13:36] <Prodoc> soundray: heh, where do I find the gspca people? :-D
[13:36] <soundray> aliosha: excellent. What does ls -l /mnt/home say?
[13:36] <user01> hi im getting a green screen on media playback and need to know how to change video output driver
[13:37] <shinao1> adam7: in the recovery console the machine asks for root password for maintenance
[13:37] <adam7> shinao1: that probably means you set a root password
[13:37] <Ontolog> Any users in China?

[13:37] <user01> i changed it in mplayer from xmga to x11 and it works fine now . . . but i want to universally change so that it works in the other media players as well
[13:37] <shinao1> ok so how to clear it?
[13:37] <adam7> Ontolog: pick one in Taiwan
[13:38] <adam7> shinao1: you need a live cd
[13:38] <Ontolog> I don't need help in Chinese just the location of a fast mirror haha thanks
[13:38] <blueskynis> hi guys
[13:38] <Teapot> igge: Thank you. I shall try.
[13:38] <adam7> Ontolog: the one that has the word debian in the url usually gives me ~150kbps
[13:38] <aliosha> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12720/
[13:38] <Trium> Hello Blueskynis
[13:38] <soundray> Prodoc: does 'sudo modinfo gspca' tell you?
[13:38] <Dr_willis_> user01,  each media player has its own settings, theres no way to change them 'all'  at once.
[13:38] <shinao1> adam7: the cdrom drive is buggered.. i keep getting ioctl error messages
[13:38] <blueskynis> it seems I can't kill a process :( is there any other way besides System monitor and kill
[13:38] <adam7> shinao1: well, you could try to boot from a usb key
[13:39] <Ontolog> adam7: thanks
[13:39] <IntangibleLiquid> I cannot configure my touchpad hotkey with keytouch, is there any other way?
[13:39] <Trium> does the system monitors process kill do a -9?
[13:39] <blueskynis> I tried and top too
[13:39] <IntangibleLiquid> !keyboard
[13:39] <blueskynis> it wont do

[13:39] <blueskynis> it's totem

[13:40] <Dr_willis_> user01,  check their menus/settings/docs.  Some players may not even have the options.  I normally use gmplayer, and xine. (99% of the time i use gmplayer)
[13:41] <legend2440> soundray: aliosha: read #2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288053
[13:41] <Prodoc> soundray: that gives me a direct e-mail address, is it appropriate to use that?
[13:42] <havchr> Allright. I have taken this day off to see if I can solve a problem that I've always had with linux: sound! Basically, my soundcard seems to get "busy" etc very often. Like it's not software mixing. It's an nvidia HDA card.
[13:42] <blueskynis> crap! I must reboot, it tied up my poor CPU :(, see you later guys
[13:42] <soundray> Prodoc: I suppose so -- it's publicized after all
[13:42] <Prodoc> ok, cheers
[13:42] <soundray> legend2440: thanks, that looks useful ( aliosha)
[13:43] <aliosha> soundray: 1) did you read that 2) should I have been chrooted to /mnt when i ran it? 3) reckon i should try a reboot?
[13:43] <immux> help me pliz.. my totem only display white n black color, why??

[13:43] <aliosha> legend2440: thanks
[13:43] <immux> anyone can help me..
[13:43] <legend2440> aliosha: yw good luck
[13:44] <blueskynis> me again :-|
[13:45] <soundray> aliosha: 2) yes, 3) yes. If you still can't log in, see if you can use a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F2). Go back to gdm with Ctrl-Alt-F7 from there
[13:45] <Trium> Anybody available to advise me on a network card problem??

[13:52] <legend2440> aliosha: just curious how did this happen? trying to put /home on its own partition?
[13:52] <Trium> Ok, hopefully just a quickie then! When I try to apt-get anything I receive..
[13:52] <Trium> sudo: unable to resolve host Chairon
[13:52] <aliosha> soundray, :D, and legend2440, thanks to you too... long explanation upcoming
[13:52] <Trium> Looks like a network dns error?
[13:52] <soundray> aliosha: use pastebin :)
[13:52] <havchr> so, to fix my sound bugs, where should I go?
[13:53] <soundray> !sound | havchr
[13:53] <soundray> !intelhda | havchr
[13:53] <nazgul> Soo, I am using Sun java in /opt ever since. Now with Ubuntu 8.04 comes firefox 3b5. I did what many pages say and sym-linked libjavaplugin_oji.so to various places e.g. /usr/lib/firefox(-3.0b5)/plugins etc and it does not show up in about:plugins. Yes I did google and even tried the "sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /opt/java/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so" trick.
[13:53] <alan_cng__> hi,there?
[13:54] <soundray> Trium: perhaps you've set a http proxy?
[13:54] <Saladin> I have a question... Somehow I have lost all the borders around my windows... How can I get them back?
[13:54] <danbhfive> Saladin: disable compiz
[13:54] <Trium> I havnt configured a proxy under System-->Network Proxy, and havnt touched the config of eth0
[13:55] <nazgul> Saladin: right-click Desktop, Change background, visual effets -> none
[13:55] <blueskynis> compiz is to blame
[13:55] <Saladin> But, but... I like my visual effects. And it only happened about ten minutes ago
[13:55] <Saladin> Will I be able to reactivate Compiz afterwards?
[13:55] <soundray> Trium: is this Chairon thing the proxy you've set?
[13:56] <nazgul> Saladin: select no effects, then revert
[13:56] <Trium> nope thats the name of this PC
[13:56] <esteth__> saladin: you could also try running either "metacity --replace" or "emerald --replace" to get them back, depending on wether you use emerald, or the default decorator
[13:56] <danbhfive> Saladin: did you use the restricted-drivers-manager?
[13:56] <koro> Saladin??
[13:56] <soundray> Trium: do you get this error when you do 'sudo ls'?
[13:56] <Saladin> Yes, koro?
[13:56] <havchr> soundray, Hm. Alsa is selected, but producing sounds is not the problem. It's that programs hogs sound resource. For instance, sometimes when flash and firefox is running, I can't play music, and if I play music in amarok, I can't play on the synth zynAddSub . And sometimes the only fix to "clear soundcard" is reboot (or maybe a magic cl command)
[13:56] <koro> Saladin: my nick isn't familiar to you, right?
[13:56] <nazgul> soundray: it there a known prob with the Java plugin in 8.04? see my post above
[13:57] <alan_cng__> how can i manage hardware device with a GUI in xubuntu? anyone give me some hints? thanks :)
[13:57] <Trium> I did, followed by a password prompt
[13:57] <soundray> havchr: did this happen after upgrading, or is it a fresh install?
[13:57] <Saladin> koro, no it isn't, Should it be?
[13:57] <koro> different saladin i guess, nvm
[13:57] <soundray> nazgul: not that I know of
[13:57] <aliosha> legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12726/
[13:57] <Saladin> And the metacity --replace command worked brilliantly
[13:57] <Saladin> Thanks guys
[13:58] <havchr> soundray, fresh install. I've had this problem on every computer I've run ubuntu on. HDA nvidia and HDA intel machines.. and maybe one other on-board soundcard that I can't remember the name of.
[13:58] <Prodoc> how do I determine the installed gspca version? the package manager does not list gspca as installed
[13:58] <alan_cng__> hi,guys?  how can i manage hardware device with a GUI in xubuntu? anyone give me some hints? thanks :)
[13:58] <tingle> how can i get a nice hardware overview whitin ubuntu?
[13:58] <soundray> havchr: I think you may need the DmixPlugin fix from the factoid
[13:59] <soundray> tingle: which version?
[13:59] <soundray> Prodoc: 'sudo modinfo gspca' ;)
[13:59] <Prodoc> 'sudo modinfo gspca'  does not give me a version number either
[13:59] <legend2440> aliosha: oh ok. well i'm glad your back in business. soundray went above and beyond on that one :)
[13:59] <fugitivo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228363
[13:59] <Prodoc> soundray: yes I tried that first ;-)
[14:00] <dpowerd> havchr, how about /etc/init.c/alsa-utils restart
[14:00] <aliosha> legend2440, it was good fun (and educational)
[14:00] <dpowerd> err .d*
[14:00] <soundray> legend2440: once I started, I couldn't abandon aliosha ;)
[14:00] <legend2440> aliosha: lol
[14:00] <havchr> soundray, I've also heard that pulseAudio is something that should fix this. But I don't really know that much about computers.
[14:00] <havchr> dpowerd, isn't that just cleaning up after the problem instead of fixing it?
[14:00] <Saladin> Also, another question... Is there a way in Ubuntu, like the Windows feature to increase data transfer from HDD to HDD by increasing priorities. Like you can with explorer.exe in Windows?
[14:00] <Trium> Soundray: Killed a frozen process of update manager, i still get the resolve error but the package has now been downloaded. Ill have a play and see if im having some network ishoos!
[14:00] <dpowerd> havchr, perhaps :\
[14:01] <Dew420> o.O my firefox wont start and my log off/shut off/ restart etc menu wont show up
[14:01] <J-Unit> does ram get more used up in 64-bit?
[14:01] <aliosha> soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12726/ is an explanation
[14:01] <soundray> J-Unit: yes, a bit
[14:01] <andreas__> where i change the HZ on the monitor to 65HZ or higher in the xorg.conf ?
[14:01] <soundray> aliosha: yeah, I saw it, thanks
[14:01] <J-Unit> soundray, well how much cuz i had the impression it was almost double the memory
[14:02] <soundray> aliosha: still not sure why this /tmp thing happened
[14:02] <soundray> J-Unit: my impression was ca. 25% (but I haven't checked)
[14:02] <joako> hello, i gotta a question, how can i make grub scan for new systems....and update the menu.list?????????
[14:02] <danbhfive> !fixgrub > joako
[14:02] <J-Unit> soundray, u mean 125%?
[14:02] <soundray> J-Unit: yes
[14:03] <J-Unit> soundray, ok, just wanted to know
[14:03] <J-Unit> soundray, thx
[14:03] <yu> hi
[14:03] <soundray> Prodoc: perhaps if you search dmesg output for gspca, you may find a version number there
[14:03] <joako> thanx
[14:03] <aliosha> soundray, nor am i.
[14:03] <Trium> Take care all, thanks for the help Soundray!

[14:03] <Paradoxx> !virtualization
[14:03] <soundray> Trium: how did you fix it now?
[14:04] <aliosha> soundray, although from that forum, it seems that it might be an update bug
[14:04] <yu> fine
[14:04] <Paradoxx> !Wine
[14:04] <Hepoco> could anyone help me quickly?
[14:04] <soundray> aliosha: I see
[14:04] <Trium> Not sure, I had a process of Update Manager dead in the background, killed that. I still get the cannot resolve Chairon error, but the package downloaded and installed correctly
[14:05] <soundray> Hepoco: no, we only do slow (if at all)
[14:05] <carlos22> i've installed the last ubuntu distribution and i have a problem with detecting wireless networks , the system recognize i have a card installed (it sees if its enabled or disabled) but it doesnt find networks avialbe around .. the card is "intel 3945ABG" . what can be the prob ?
[14:05] <Trium> take care, thanks again!
[14:05] <soundray> Trium: you should make sure that your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are correct
[14:05] <Hepoco> I was just wondering to install ubuntu I just wipe my hardisk, and insert the cd, no?
[14:05] <soundray> !hostname | Trium
[14:06] <soundray> Hepoco: you could. You could also leave the wiping to the installer.
[14:06] <Paradoxx> !vmware
[14:06] <Hepoco> I see, thank you soundray
[14:06] <soundray> Hepoco: the installer can also create a dual-boot system with your old OS
[14:06] <Paradoxx> What virtualization program would you guys recommend?
[14:06] <aliosha> how does one reset gnome-panel's settings to default?
[14:06] <Hepoco> is it compeltely safe?
[14:06] <Saladin> What are the minimum specs for Ubuntu Server Edition?
[14:07] <Hepoco> as in, I wont lose any data?
[14:07] <Saladin> You will lose data on the partition you want to install to.
[14:07] <Saladin> As it formats the partition
[14:07] <dpowerd> Hepoco, you said "wipe"
[14:07] <Saladin> But, other than that, you won't lose any data
[14:07] <soundray> Hepoco: no, when you resize a partition, things like a powercut can lead to data loss. Always have a backup.
[14:07] <ifireball> #ubuntu-il
[14:07] <Saladin> Just ensure you install to an empty partition
[14:08] <Botulinum> Can some one help me
[14:09] <Botulinum> I downloaded ubuntu and burned the image to cd when i boot from disk everything seems fine but it never loads
[14:09] <plamen> Hello Everyone!
[14:09] <Botulinum> upper left coner just says loading
[14:09] <soundray> Botulinum: have you checked the CD's integrity? There is a boot option for that
[14:10] <plamen> I'm want to try Ubuntu but the install wouldn't start
[14:10] <plamen> can someone here help?
[14:10] <carlos22> i've installed the last ubuntu distribution and i have a problem with detecting wireless networks , the system recognize i have a card installed (it sees if its enabled or disabled) but it doesnt find networks avialbe around .. the card is "intel 3945ABG" . what can be the prob ?
[14:10] <Botulinum> Soundray: you mean check to see if disk is corupt option ?
[14:11] <Tetrapus> hi there

[14:11] <Tetrapus> Can anybody name me a windows movie-maker like program? Where I can make movies out of images (+ sound)
[14:11] <soundray> aliosha: I think you have to log into failsafe mode and delete $HOME/.gnome2/panel2.d
[14:11] <enervation3> Hi - can't believe I got myself into this situation. I effectively did sudo rm * in /usr/bin. I cancelled it by the time it had got to g, but that means that apt, aptitude, dpkg etc are gone so I can't reinstall stuff. I've downloaded the ubuntu iso but I can't open it to copy the files out, and I downloaded the dpkg .deb package but have the same problem. I had thought of burning the iso and trying to fix from a live environment
[14:12] <kajo> tetrapus, I recommend trying dyne:bolic...
[14:12] <dpowerd> ouch
[14:12] <aliosha> soundray, fun... here goes :D
[14:12] <chocobanana> Hi everyone
[14:12] <Saladin> Tetrapus, I would also recommend lives, as that seems good.
[14:12] <plamen> anyone who can help me install ubuntu?
[14:12] <yu> hi,boy
[14:12] <Saladin> kajo: What is Dyne:bolic like?
[14:12] <rsk> plamen: burn cd boot, and install ?
[14:13] <soundray> plamen: okay, I'll pop round. Where do you live?
[14:13] <Tetrapus> kajo, saladin, are dyne:bolic / lives in the repos?
[14:13] <soundray> just kidding
[14:13] <Saladin> Lives isn't, I don't think.
[14:13] <rss> hi, ubuntu has a plugin for firefox where it covers flash content with a grey screen with a play sign... what is it called?
[14:13] <rss> that add-on for firefox
[14:13] <Saladin> It is an add on for FF
[14:13] <Saladin> Called "Stop Auto-Play"
[14:13] <enervation3> flashblock?
[14:14] <plamen> rsk: I dowloaded the 64bit iso and burnt it on a CD, i get in the initial menu but that's about it
[14:14] <chocobanana> I have a problem in Xubuntu 8.04 with a portuguese keyboard: Basically, when I try to make the @ sign (Alt Gr + 2) it will turn on caps lock and num lock and it makes it impossible for me to do the @ sign using the keyboard. Can someone tell me how to make it behave properly?
[14:14] <rss> Saladin: cool, thanks.
[14:14] <plamen> soundray: thanks but no thanks :-)
[14:14] <Saladin> FlashBlock is a bit different, in that it blocks ALL flash, not just videos/music
[14:14] <rss> Saladin: my bro had it on his laptop, it was awesome... so I asked.
[14:14] <Saladin> I love it.
[14:15] <soundray> plamen: have you checked the CD? There is a boot option for it
[14:15] <Saladin> Also, you may wanna try noscript
[14:15] <Saladin> It makes things so much safer
[14:15] <plamen> soundray: i tried but nothing works
[14:15] <wols> rss: you'd need to get it from addons.mozilla.org

[14:16] <Tetrapus> kajo:  huh? dynebolic seems rather complicated, booting?
[14:16] <mib> pls help
[14:16] <soundray> plamen: it's safe to assume you've burned a coaster then. Do a md5sum check of the .iso you downloaded before you try again.
[14:16] <Mark17> hello, is it possible to see what packages are installed with apt-get?

[14:16] <dpowerd> !java | mib
[14:16] <Saladin> First off... mib, go to your terminal and type in sudo apt-get update
[14:16] <Mark17> or what packages where installed during installation?
[14:16] <soundray> Mark17: 'dpkg --get-selections'
[14:16] <mib> ya
[14:16] <mib> i done that
[14:16] <mib> saladin: i done that already
[14:16] <wols> European-African: mkfs.xfs /path/to/device
[14:17] <Saladin> And then go to the Add Programs thing from your Applications menu
[14:17] <andreas__> where i change the HZ on the monitor to 65HZ or higher in the xorg.conf ? can someone help me?
[14:17] <Saladin> Type in Java on the little search box
[14:17] <Saladin> And all Java applications will show up for you
[14:17] <plamen> ok I'll try the md5sum thing thanks guys I'll let you know if it works
[14:17] <European-African> wols: and the path to device is the one that says /dev/mapper/logvol-music?

[14:18] <mib> saladin: is it Java 1.4 plugin for mozilla /firefox?
[14:18] <illmorta1> ginetteann i play COD4 :p
[14:18] <mib> or Sun Java 5.0 Plugin?
[14:18] <Saladin> Hold on, let me find out what I use.
[14:18] <wols> European-African: /dev/mapper/... sounds about right

[14:20] <illmorta1> edwin... probably because you dragged the archive into the themes
[14:20] <Mark17> soundray: that isnt working: dpkg: unknown option --get
[14:20] <danbhfive> mib: I dunno, Im on hardy
[14:20] <Saladin> Then, mib, go with that one. Have you considered upgrading your system?
[14:21] <Mark17> so dpkg --get selections isnt working :( (ubuntu 8.04)
[14:21] <mib> upgrading in the sense of?
[14:21] <soundray> Mark17: 'dpkg --get-selections'

[14:23] <soundray> h0ax: 'sudo adduser username admin'
[14:23] <wols> so adduser now had sudoers support?
[14:23] <h0ax> thanks
