i had beryl running under gnome, but i switched to KDE just now and beryl isn't set up. Where do i go to enable it?

for some strange reason nautilus does not show a preview thumbnail for my ogg movie files any way to enable this?

the desktop cd goes to the circle loading cursor...i can move it and everything....but i dotn hear the startup soiund and it jsut sayts on teh brown screen...doesnt load anything else

Can someone tell me how to read .daa file on unbuntu isn't there a version of Poweriso/magiciso for unbuntu?

magnethead, It will just ask for what resolutions you want supported

so once i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh and choose nvidia it should reset my xorg.conf file so that i can boot again?

magnethead, Yup

how to get the latest verskion of emacs please ?

i think you would have to reinstall beryl at least that would be easiest because you installed beryl before you had that differerent gdm installed...

ok thanks i'll try that.

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

the latest packaged one you get with 'sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot'

I'm sorry, it's an ISO. The iso is "/media/sdb1/Videos/Movies/LOST_IN_TRANSLATION.ISO" What is the command if I want to run that movie?

soundray ty

i'm not sure, i don't play dvd's

but it's pre-release. If you want the released emacs22, you have to wait for a backport or for gutsy.

GeekMaster1, You may need to mount the iso file

did you get any of my messages?

soundray i'll install the snap-shot and remove it later

no

how do I mount that ISO? What is the command?

!iso | GeekMaster1

» - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

for me the snapshot is very stable

soundray for me too ty

sigh. okay, well anyway i boot from the 7.0.4 dvd. i picked the first option to start or install ubuntu. after that it says it is loading the kernel, screen goes blank, nothing. no drive activity or anything

flannel u still there?

OK

have you tried the safe graphics option?

Thanks

i do have xp installed on this machine. yes, same thing.. nothing happens. just a blank screen

jordan.. no i havent. what is that :P

that's odd indeed. debboostrap error occurs when on the alt CD?

is the plus sign throwing things off?

!alternate

The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal

please see above

i just downloaded the one from the ubuntu main page. 7/04

yes

i would hardly consider myself an expert
but i can try

for some strange reason nautilus does not show a preview thumbnail for my ogg movie files any way to enable this?

willarizona, It also often works when the LiveCD doesn't.

it's not much harder. You can always ask here for advice.

is it a seperate package altogether? is it on the live cd?

Last question.Is there any way to change 64bit ubuntu into 32bit?Or do i have to clean install?I have so slow connection.I don't want to download packets again and again.

willarizona, Seperate CD

no, it is a separate CD iso.

ok i will look for it. thank you guys

willarizona, It is half impossible to find now unless you know where to look ( website redesign )

There's a checkbox at the bottom of the download page. Jordan_U.

is there a linux ipod updater?

I am afraid that it is not possible

i'm sorry.. i don't know.. i don't have any experiences with 64bit..

Thx. I think another day is wasted blaaa.I think i will start installing now.Thx guys

?? xfce

the alternate installer image?

what's the problem with your 64bit system?

hey i see xfce4.3.99 in synaptic, but i thought 4.4 was stable already, anyone know?

Flannel, Oh, is that new? I always just went to http://releases.ubuntu.com/

thanks guys, i found it. downloading it now

NO Cool'N Quiet Feature and I have use generic kernel not the kernel made for AMD (K8 kernel) Soundray:

Does anyone know of an open source alternative to citrix or terminal services?

the generic kernel is just fine. ubotu knows more details:

whats the package name for those?

There are no k8 kernels anymore. Generic kernel has all the optomizations built in.

evri2

!codecs | bung

For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats

by cool'n quiet, do you mean frequency scaling?

ubuntu can use cool'n'quiet...
actually, it is nothing more than changing the clock on the fly, ubuntu uses the "dynamic clock scheme"

Well you know that panel apllication which show cpu's MHZ?
It always stuck at 1.6ghz.

A lot of times while viewing youtube on firefox it crashes the browser and I've no idea why, I've not done anything to customize it beyond adblock plus

I wouldn't mind if this is a normal PC but a laptop must decrease it's clock to save life time

there may be a process that hogs the CPU and prevents frequency scaling.
check by running 'top' in the terminal.

there are numerous problems with laptops, unfortunately

Arenlor, The flash plugin is buggy, nothing possible to do about it but nag Adobe

evri2, sometimes if you remove that applet and add another one it responds, might jsut be buggish

well i use -noapic and nolapic for kernel

Jordan_U thanks, will do

otherwise it is normal fresh ubuntu install

maybe that is the reason

still no response

evri2, That is why you have no frequency scaling then

but there is no problem deceting dual core

what about top output?

well i am not ubuntu right know for some reasons

n00b question for you... I am trying to install Ubuntu Desktop Fiesty and am getting X server errors on install... "Screens found, but none have a usable configuration"...what am i doing wrong?

what package has svn in it?

hmm

subversion

evri2, I am pretty sure that frequency scaling is part of apic

subversion

I have an ati radeon x800

no, it isn't

Ok i will remove it

apic != acpi

ok, but according to apt-get subversion isn't a valid package

and have tried using both fglrx and the default driver

no, the boot options aren't causing your problem.

soundray, Oh, thanks

but i also want you to know that without these paramaters i couldn't install ubuntu.It always hangs.

the default offers direct rendering (seemingly needed for beryl)
whilst the other does not

which version of ubuntu?

and alternatively compiz doesn't seem to work well with the default driver that works well with beryl

7.04 (only paramaters nolapic and noapic) I tried 6.06 and 6.10 too.Both needs these paramaters

How can I remove all the unwanted packages from my XUBUNTU install? like getting rid of all the games..

however there are lots and lots of problems in 6.06 and 6.10 even if i use these paramters.
it hangs while shutting down
or freeze in the middle of sth

uninstall them

but it is k now in 7.04
just this feature

What version of ubuntu are you using?

cool and quiet
bugs me

for some strange reason nautilus does not show a preview thumbnail for my ogg movie files any way to enable this?

have you tried 7.04 without noapic and nolapic?

Vich, fglrx will not work with Compiz or Beryl without XGL ( and XGL is a hack IMHO ) So I would stick to "ati"

so should I click the start button then choose control panel and unistall?

I have also a very buggy laptop - Asus A6Tc - but, I solved it with different parameters

thanks Jordan_U

Vich, np

xgl is a hack?

your sources.list must be messed up. Since it is, and always has been. You don't have the main repository.

well

lol

I should just use aptitude then? or is there a ubuntu specific tool?

i will go and check it soundray

ok thanks

I'm still a bit clueless as to what xgl and aiglx is

pci=assign-busses acpi_use_timer_override apicmaintimer are my parameters

I am trying to install Ubuntu Desktop Fiesty and am getting X server errors on install... "Screens found, but none have a usable configuration"...how can I fix this?

but i am %60-70 sure that i won't be able to open ubuntu :p

aptitude/apt-get is the ubuntu method
if you pastebin your sources.list, I can help you figure out what's funky

try em

schreck, what video card do you have?

I had to use these options previously, but not since 7.04

thats what I'll be doing then..

thx i will try that too.Is your laptop AMD or Intel based?

either aptitude, or 'apt-get remove [--purge] $pkgname' or 'aptitude remove $pkgname' or 'aptitude purge $pkgname' on the cmdline

AMD Turion 64x2

Vich, Yeah, AIGLX is built into Xorg, and there is a reason why Ubuntu doesn't use XGL even though sabdafl is pushing for Desktop Effects

alright! :p
same thx i will try that too

yeah

so you are able to use cool and quiet?

thanks again ...

yes
i am actually running at 800Mhz

I always have been
you should refer to it as frequency scaling so people know what you're talking about

so, come on and try it

k i will go and try them both.Thanks. soundray: and sigterm

does anyone know chat the chmod +x bit does on .mp3's
*what*

mongolai, Why are you trying to make mp3's executable?

the executable bit has no effect on a data file.

there is no nvidia choice on that command.

I'm not trying to make it that way, I just noticed some of my files were u+x. Just curious.

do you have a FAT32 partition?

magnethead, Oh, have you used Restricted Manager to install the proprietary nvidia drivers?

they tend to be that when you've copied them from a non-Linux filesystem

or a USB medium formatted w/ FAT32?

im upgrading my ubuntu, and my debconf crashed on me when re configering bugzilla

perhaps the files originated on a FAT-type.

couldo someone help me with a ssh and sftp problem???

oh. that's interesting

now the whole updating thing is hanging, what should i do?

because FAT32 doesn't handle file modes, there every file is rwx

you need to say what the problem is before anyone can answer that question.

Ahh. Yea that does make sense.

Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question

On Ups Power, I check off Enable Ups Discharge Alarm then I hit close.. when I reopen that same menu the option is not checked.. what's going on? I have restarted the apc service a couple of times.. but it's still unchecked whenever I look at it

is there anybody here who might know something about why the sound isn't working in lxDoom or games under wine?

Jordan_U yes is did
Jordan_U used synaptic for the installation

is there a posibility to read bios password with some tools ?

i can connect to a server in office whitout problems, but in my home i cant do it. i use sftp and ssh
the errors are:

soundray i open the temernial window for the updater and did a q enter, it went to the next task

There could be an NAT firewall or such in the way

!paste | debaserdz

pastebin is a service to post large 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 #ubuntu channel topic)

are you the administrator of the server?

m1r, Many manufacturers have default passwords that can be used to unlock your BIOS ( which sort of defeats the purpose but lets them deal with people complaining that they lost their password )

no

could i even have an answer?

I think you will have to tell them about the problem

how can i get firefox 2 on ubuntu

asdqwezxcdsf, I really don't know about wine. Do you know what sound server it's set up to use?

jordan_u , this is gericom materpiece, german laptop, i dont know german , so no help on goolge can be found :/

asdqwezxcdsf, Does lxDoom use OSS ?

ok, thank you

if you don't get an answer, that means that nobody knows.

!firefox | nj786

ok
sound is working everywhere else

liquid doom?
firefox 2?

debaserdz, server host seems to be down (non-responsive to ping requests)

Ubotu messed up on me

are you on dapper?

dapper?

the server is ficticious

m1r, I know some german, have you just lost your bios password?

debaserdz,

asdqwezxcdsf, have you checked the WINE FAQS and support on their website?

i used "sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all" this to get the sound working...
it worked
but

thank you anyway

Ugh... my server is spitting out DMA timeout errors

after a reboot it stopped working again

debaserdz, the admin might have filtered some connections

Is there any kernel options to disable DMA?

jordan_u , b4 several years, when i bought laptop , its screen got broken, and today i found replacemnt screen, so i have forgot what i put as password :/

i tried reinstalling that but nothing

is there any good free realistic modern set fps games out there

dotpavan, it seem it

like *free

and sound in enemy territory is not working either

asdqwezxcdsf, it seems like the SDL sound layer isn't configured properly. Unfortunately I don't know much, if anything about this.

jordan_u , this thing have phoenix bios

dotpavan, i thought that there was a problem with my pc

is there anybody who might know?

I honestly don't know what vid card I have... prolly 5 years old

m1r, Can you get at the cmos battery?

my ipod is all jacked up, anyone up for a challenge?

True Combat: Elite is free iirc
(small-F)

jordan_u , maybe if i try open it, but i have never opened laptops b4

SlimeyPete, iirc ???

Are there any known errors with older Plantronics headsets and gbtsco?

if I remember correctly

nelsonuwp, I don't know if it is possible in fedora linux ( maybe through wine? ) but if you have a Windows machine or a mac you can reset the firmware

asdqwezxcdsf, try googling WINE sdl config and see what you come up with.

dotpavan, is possible that administrator have banned all ips except from office

how about a n64 emulator

yea but it's not only wine

then maybe someone could help you a little better
*maybe*

dotpavan, i have make a vpn with my office

jordan_u , can i PM you ?

just ran over to a friends house and reset the ipod with updater.. still jacked up

some normal games aren't working either

guys I am in a real trouble ! I need help .... I have lost my Desktop env after installing a new kernel because the nvidia kernel modules were not configured for the new kernel ...I am talking to you from irssi ...what can I do? please help

schreck, what does lspci say about your vid card?

What is

m1r, http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/reference/biosp.htm

it still plays music, i just cant delete or add to it using rythmbox or gtkpod

ty m8, i check

reinstall the nvidia drivers.

lspci?

nelsonuwp, Is it formatted FAT32 or HFS+ ?

FAT32

how to do that from the command line ?

did you install the kernel from synaptic, or did you compile hosting it yourself?

schreck, yea, it's a terminal command. from a terminal type in lscpi

m1r, sure, but it is best to stay in the channel where more people can see your questions

and look for your video card

you're asking in the wrong channel

I compiled it and built it as .deb and then installed it with dpkg

ok jordan_u
we stay here then

ick, WoW runs sloooow through Wine

trying backdoor passes now

soundray; It is ubuntu related. It is ubuntu that I am trying to auto-restore.

then you'll need to do an "apt-get install links", run links, navigate to the nvidi website and download their installer

fat32

can't I install the ones in the repos ?

you'll need to use the nvidia installer rather than the ubuntu package as the package ill be configured for the official ubuntu kernel

verb, can you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and put vesa for the driver?

*will

try using partimage instead of commercial hoarderware ghost.

yes I can do that

the nvidia installer, on the other hand, will fit the module into your custom kernel
at least, that's the theory

I can through dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg

jordan_u , nothing passed from that passes :/

soundray; I think it has something to do with ubuntu using more than one partition.

verb, Did you compile your own kernel or did you just get a kernel upgrade from Ubuntu?

verb, did you try that already?

hi people.. what do you think is the best p2p client for ubuntu?

every time i update nVidia kernel i have to reinstall the driver

soundray; I dont have time to start with a new system at this point.

No

Frostwire?

before using the nvidia instaler you should "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx"

give it a shot !

that'll get rid of the ubuntu package

soundray; It must work with ghost.

me too.. that's really stupid, i get sick and tired of it.. they should do something about that..

what SlimeyPete said^^

my prediction is you're just wasting your valuable time by asking for help with ghost here.

thank i will take a look at it

Are you sure I can't continue with the ones in the repo?

soundray; where can I ask?

verb, If you are using the generic kernel then you *should* use the ubuntu packages instead of envy, then you won't ever have kernel upgrade problems

How do I launch hotkeys gui?

I don't know

no , as I said , I compiled it myself the "debian way"

verb, Ok, missed that

i think soon all will be good, Since Dell no offers *buntu as an OS.. things will start to look up for linux and driver support

System-Preferences-Keyboard shortcuts

now

thanks!

yes, certain. They will only work with the official ubuntu kernels.

please discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic

verb, There is a command for using envy from a terminal though, try "apropos envy"

slugicide, is System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts what you're after/
soundray got to it first
hehe

Double thanks.

isn't envy just for ATI cards?

verb, No, it is actually origionaly for nvidia cards

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6Px_zCyAiU

VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corp NV11 [GeForce 2 MX/MX 400

could you all give me a quick run-down on what envy is?

w00t got beryl workign!

!envy | mongolai

verb, That is why it's called "envy"

envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!

lol
ok then

I see ...thanks for the help

hi

schreck, if you have to edit xorg.conf use driver "nv"

Hi all

it's a generic nvidia driver, and it will most likely work

how do you do that while installing?

I have down my system

glad it worked. Thanks for the feedback.

hmmm. did you use the ubuntu or deb instalation methods?

anyone on frostwire?

or something else?

Btw i cannot run the chess program in 3d format which came with default installation.It says install OpenGL python bindings and the GtkGLExT Python bindings.I think these are packages that i need to install.Because i have nvidia's driver from repositories.

When you download more than one file at a time it'll sometimes stall file transfers just sit there

kdiggdy, it is java based, is your java set up fine?

i had nothin but probs with frostwire and feisty

It's all jacked up.
Happens with 3 other friends too.. they say gFTP is worthless for bulk downloads

java looks all fine

did you install sun-java6-jdk?

and i do have frostwire in fiesty

maximal_ yes

I am really happy. I almost feel like crying. I came from Amiga (land) and used to love it till my old system failed and I went Windows/Intel.

one person has java fine, the other not so much...

have you considered just using limewire?

it works fine when i open it the first time then i close it and \kill does not work
limewire wont work

I feel almost like I am coming home again and the madness is ending

Eltimbalino, I agree 8D

ok.

I hate QT.

maximal_ apt-get install says that i've the latest version !

the prob is after I choose to install, the live cd works fine

frostwire works fine for me on my three boxes

schreck, Ok. that helps a litle

go into synaptic and look for the package

buenas noches/dias

then look under properties for installed files

try installing or reinstalling python-opengl

i don't know what it was., i had nothing butprobs with it under Feisty on my PC and on my laptop.\

!es[[Lucho32]]

schreck, what system are you running right now?

i got sick of it, and went with limewire.

Howdy peeps, is there anyway to put a link to the File Browser on my desktop?

yeah, drag the icon from your menu to your desktop

installing on a compaq presario

works on my acer laptop and gateway desktops

wow IndyGunFreak that's much easier than what I did!

go figure.. it worked great for me in Edgy, feisty though,no dice.

I'm not sure where the icon would be located Indy

lol

maximal_ this what i'm doing, sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk

LOL

ok, sorry

maximal_ all seems to be already isntalled !

beware, the madness may just be preparing to ambush you

not the icon, the program icon, Applications/Internet, then drag the firefox icon to your desktop

my roblem is mplayer

it's usually launched by selecting home form places

yes those are the 3 you need

have you tried dpkg -L sun-java6-bin to see where the files are?

Hmm I don't see the file browser application stored there

indy have mplayer working?

you can see where they are installed using synaptic

Applications MENU, Internet, then drag the firefox icon to your desktop
yeah

I don't need firefox on my desktop

installing on a compaq presario

or soundray suggestion

then what do you want?

I'd like the link to the filebrowser on my desktop
like "My computer"

are there other irc clients than xchat,xchat-gnome, kirc, kopete, pidgin and bitchx?

IndyGunFreak, I think GrubChub wants Nautilus, not Firefox!

oh file browser, i thought you said web browser.
my bad.

hehe

never have mplayer working in fiesty or edgy

maximal_ i've installed them many times, but i still cant find when jdk is installed

k-os, please read the private message from ubotu

schreck, compaqs have a long history of petty difficulties with linux. But nothing that can't be fixed.

well, same concept, goto the places menu, and drag "Computer" to your desktop

soundray, howdid that answer my question?

schreck, are you on the live-cd now?

yes

hmm seems I get an invilid URI

invalid uri?

k-os: re-read carefully, pay special attention to the phrase "as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu..."

are y ou trying to create a link

Meh just to make it more familer

GrubChub, hit alt+f2 then type in gconf-editor

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00

whats the prob with Mplayer

yes, i have the live cd loaded

forgot about that.. ..lol
i was trying to do it the easy way

schreck, just a sec, ok?

i've just installed it and had a look

alrighty, have that loaded

GrubChub, did that thing yet?

!install .tar.gz

yep

Sorry, I don't know anything about install .tar.gz - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

no prob

Hey! Can someone help me install a .tar.gz source package after i have extracted it?

Alt-F10

ALT-F10

schreck, so you're in the live cd now?

greetings. I installed x11vnc server on kubuntu 7.04. i am trying to get it to start when i boot the system, so i put the command to launch it in /etc/rc.local but it doesn't seem to work. please help!

thanks

Zack, Are you sure that you need to install from source?

yes

there should be a file called INSTALL or README in the package, which will tell you how

it all depends on what it is.

ok

what are yu trying to compile?

schreck, ok, can you open /etc/X11/xorg.conf

An libvisual package

lol, that should be fun

ok so once i have extracted what do i do?

read the readme

there in no readme

Zack, libvisual-0.4-0 Is available in the repos

listen to Jordan_U thats in the repos, use it.

ok

how? I dont have a boot to prompt, just to install, check cd, mem test, and boot from first hdd

ohhh. ok, now I see
wait, so how are you here on IRC?

I am on my laptop chatting

is that a different computer?

yes

Ohhh, sweet!

lol
he's teleporting

is it just an old PC you want to spiff up a bit?

once in download from synaptic does it automatically go into affect for amarok to use?

hi, is anyone here using a dell inspiron laptop and suffering bad quality sound?

laptops in general have bad quality sound

yes, windoze took a dump and im sick of fixing it on that comp

Thanks Guys quick fix

you think linux on a compaq is hard, I have had to reinstall windoze about 5 times in the past year

schreck, so you don't care about any data that might be on that computer? If it all gets erased it's ok?

bad quality sound in linux, good quality in XP

nah, i backed it all up onto usb drive using knoppix

so you can erase everything and not worry?

yes

OK! That makes things *SO* much more simple!

lol

you'd be amazed..lol

schreck, allow install with data erased, continue, yes or no? :P

had too... I have important docs

i know, but you should see the people here expecting users to "rescue" the systems they smoked by being careless

Ok then, since you have nothing to worry about, go for the first install option

yep, .. I think its phrased takeover an entire drive, or something like that.

i beleive it, I'm a programmer and I hear all sorts of customers like that

lol

.

schreck, so are you familliar with inux in general?
*linux* sigh

a little, we use it at work and I have an ubuntu server running...

well, better yet!

hey guys, can anyone point me to a guide to get the GF6200 TC working with Compiz, everytime I try to start compiz I get a black screen, with no menu, however If I move the mouse to the menu bar at the top (which I cannot see) I start getting menu option, however screen is still black, also my monitor resolution is set to 50hz when it should be 60?

I hit the first option, its doing a rundown for startup, but it does say "failed to reset NO_REBOOT
and now I have a black screen and nothing else

was there an option for text-install?

everything came up as [OK], but now I have a blank screen

Snake007uk, try compiz --replace

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.. use the Advanced option when it comes to configuring the screen & indicate the horizontal and vertical frequencies, that works best.. for Compiz, don't know

there is an option for safe graphics mode, but that is where I see the X server errors

only on the alternate CD

Hi, I would like to setup a home network with Ubuntu Feisty. I have 2 computers with Ubuntu installed. how can I do it? Thanks

cups.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 7.04 and Warcraft3 Frozen Throne. It mostly works, I can connect to cutom games fine, but if I do a reular multiplayer matchup, the game hangs at bout 95% loading. It completely locks the system can't do anything but a hard reset. Any ideas what could be wrong?
using Wine

what does F4 do on the initial screen? option VGA?

CUPS is for printing
yep

ah I thought he said printing

like network printing

nevermind

kekos

mongolai:
I was hoping there was another way beside the text installer

do you know where can I find a manual to make wow works?? Thanks

if there's not, I can d/l , burn, and use that to install

I remember using the text installer w/ Hoary.. it's not that complicated

no idea, I don't play wow

!jfs

way more comfy than that of Debian Woody

Sorry, I don't know anything about jfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

dotpavan no luck, its soo bloody annoying? it flicks and start

How is jfs support under ubuntu? It seems best for that I'm doing

well, you might have to go that way, but it could also be passing certain kernel parameters... Compaqs seem to be especially vulnerable to ACPI and APIC

I used it when I installed ubuntu server

Unfortunately I can't remember the exact commands.

Greetings
Anyone know of a USB debugger?

does anyone know of a mirror for the flashplayer9 install file? i can't seem to download it from adobe's site, either manually or through the plugin installer thing in firefox. sometimes it downloads a few hundred kilobytes and stalls or it just doesn't start at all

you used this PC?

flash9 is in the repositories

Okay then, jfs it is.

wow = warcraft

what is it called?

world of worldcraft?

Don't attempt gaming on Linux.

schreck, no *nix on the particular Compaq that you are installing to now?

can anyone help me with the Linksys WUSB54g setup for ubuntu

Linux is not a gaming platform.

any help

dotpavan??? why do I need to know how to setup folder sharing?

Even Windows games that were ported to linux hosting to run natively have their quirks.

I cant get it to read from the live cd, and my friend wont install without knowing it will work

NeoGeo64, no, but it should be!

Linux is easily stressed.

that package just downloads it from adobe's server, which is my problem.. i cant seem to get it from adobe's server

how do i boost sigmitel sound in ubuntu ?

no, I have not used nix on that box yet
...ever

i have a dell e1505

i had this problem on a previous ubuntu installation, from what i remember i just kept retrying the download about 50 times until it worked

Snake007uk, sorry, I was confused with kekos, which graphics card is yours?

schreck, private host me if you would like.

isnt there any "clean" way to install netbeans rather then to use the .bin official binray ?

anyone familiar with Art of Illusion, and if so, where is a good channel? Can't find the information a few people have referred me to.

I installed kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu. How do I change from kdm back to gdm? Can I just do a dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop?

I've ran a game that can crash the X server, and make the system so unresponsive (even though the kernel itself didn't crash) that nothing will respond and you have to do a hard restart,

hmm.. could it be that flashplugin-nonfree is not cached? don't find it in /var/cache/apt/

any one here know how to boost a dell e1505 sigmitel sound
?

Hi, I haven't tried any new 64-bit version of linux. Do they have the flash and java plugin working in firefox?

If you can't use the keyboard, you can't go to a dumb terminal and kill the processes

what's the easiest way to get ubuntu AMP(ed) up?
The linux part is done :P

?

LAMP

in what way boost?

I saw an awesome one liner

!LAMP | GrubChub

all reasonable ones doesnt

:|

max maki it louder have sound all uway up and is low still

Stupid xchat.

cant hear dvd when i watch a movie macx
max

There is a volume control on the desktop

liquiddoom, that's why I use Konversation

Easiest way is to check the "LAMP server" option when installing from the server edition cd

hey guys

max i have that all way up

that's why I use irssi

x_X :P

after mylaptop hibernated, it takes longer to boot. I think it still looking for disk image, how to fix this?

I've already have a lot of stuff
don't want to start over

I have a windows box on my network... sometimes I can see it through nautilus(with samba) sometimes I can

Okay

tt
any ideas why?

Hang on a sec

ty doom

there is also a mixer app that you may need to look at

max witch one
mac i have sigmitel
sounbd witch one

how can I look at the messages while it's booting?
or after boot

....oh, wow

anyone point me to getting GF6200 TC 128mb working under ubuntu with compiz?

go to #ubuntu-effects
thats where its at

sudo aptitude install lamp-server

max still here

that's it!

Gaaaah, xchat

where's the problem?

alsamixer

None. just my lack of copy and paste-fu

o0

hehe

liquiddoom, if I had known about that package, I wouldn't have tried to piece my own LAMP server together

i have it stil low

KMix in kubuntu

mir

package by package

i have ubuntu

0kb :O|

When I did it before, I got it working with a few packages and one configuration file change. but now, weeeee

no packages matching that name

how can I look boot messages after booting?

max and mir i have that one mir sed and still low

dmesg

yes i do to but atm i'm testing the kubuntu desktop

basic rule: if you look for something, 1st look it up in the repos.. if it's not there (or not the version you want) you can look elsewhere

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm using my laptop's keyboard instead of hooking up a USB keyboard...

max ok

messages look different than dmesg

mir any other help

if i was in ubuntu i'd look for you

what do you mean. /var/log/messages vs dmesg

can't you get to it from the volume applet?

mir any other i have sigmniel
max i have thqat all way up and still low
nothing working

dmesg is where you look for boot messages. are you looking for something specific

again: alsamixer

after hibernating and reboot it's taking much longer to boot,

mir i have it still low

did you find the mixer - i seem to remember having to turn up 2 controls

I think it's still looking for some disk image

mir and max yes
i did
mir still low what other cna i do
can i do

hmm ok. check for hard drive errors or something. do a 'dmesg|grep hda1' or whatever your hard drive designations are

hello all

apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server

what's the command to purge an application from my system?

try turning up _all_ the output controls

max did

uninstall an application?

sudo apt-get autoclean too

hey all!

lady, yes, to purge it's config files as well

i need some help i get an error with libdvdcss

where are you getting the files from
Automatix or repositories

eww automatix

what for libdvdcss?

ohh
it's already installed

mir or max what eles is there

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a good music player that supports both playlists and Cyrillic

!automatx

Sorry, I don't know anything about automatx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

!automatix

Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

sorry i'm too new to ubuntu to be able to help further

any one eles

same channel?

I also added profile to grub but then disabled it, can it cause something like this?

you can install libdvdcss w/o Automatix

it might, messing w/ grub can do odd things.

i havnt even installed ubuntu yet so i cant help any lol

any solution?

any one eles

Vzduch, how?

vzduch, are you talking about the medibuntu repos?

sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2

Right now I use rhythmbox , but all of my songs in Cyrillic come out as random letters ("A.Aaniao")

How does one forcefully close an unresponsive program? (I can't google it, since it's Firefox that is locked up)

I installed kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu. How do I change from kdm back to gdm? Can I just do a dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop?

gdm, reconfigure gdm

use easytag

unless you can find the error, i cant really help. like i said look for hdd problems, fsck checks and the like. also try 'dmesg|grep -i error' or something

kill process or something i think

thx

also it takes more time to switch between ctrl+alt+F1 and ctrl+alt+F7

vzduch, i still get the same error

Hello, I'm having a serious problem. I was on my desktop, and I modified a Beryl setting (I checked something like "Force XLA" or something. Now, my desktop is frozen, and I can't boot up because Beryl starts at bootup. Now, I booted up in a terminal. How do I disable/remove Beryl (plus settings)?

what error?

vzduch, The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?

that would be video i think. got good drivers installed?

yse, working no problem
grep error gives nothing

try greping for the drives listed in 'sudo fdisk -l'

its been years since i last played with mirc cant rember how to do anything in it lol

no idea.. I never got any such error on any Linux system

vzduch. i did do your sudo too

bitumen2003, you're not the only one. This is the first time in six months I've been on IRC.

how can I look at the messages while booting, instead of kubuntu progress image?

vzduch, you think if i just remove the 2 and just keep it like sudo aptitude install libdvdcss

feel like a fish out of water lol

Hello, I'm having a serious problem. I was on my desktop, and I modified a Beryl setting (I checked something like "Force XLA" or something. Now, my desktop is frozen, and I can't boot up because Beryl starts at bootup. Now, I booted up in a terminal. How do I disable/remove Beryl (plus settings)?

what error?

that i don't know

delete 'splash' from the kernel line in GRUB

alecwhh, The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?

what's your normal screen resolution?

in kde?

yep

can you switch to a text terminal via ctrl+f1?

1680x1050
yes

alecwhh, gaten, ctrl-alt-f1

yeah that one

ok, I'll reboot

gaten, no I can't.

to my knowledge there's no corresponding VGA resolution.. so you could use 'vga=0x31a' (1280x1024)

I'm in a terminal right now though

and try to write where it stalls

I just need to remove Beryl, plus settings. I can reinstall it after.

aleccwhh are you using XGL session?

biggluie2008, I don't know what that is, I'm assuming not. I've somehow gotten into a screen terminal. I can only see "alec@AlecDesktop: ~$

I just chked menu.lst, it still has the profile thing, let me remove and reboot

Hi guys, I'd like to burn a .CDI image on a CD but _without_ losing the informations on its boot sector. It's a Dreamcast application. Any help?

isn't there like... "sudo apt-remove beryl"?

hi guys
i ve got a question

talking about beryl any goog tutorial out theare to install beryl on ati + kubuntu?

how can i enable paste protectino in konversation?

paste protection?

i dont want what i ve paste sent automatically

How do I remove Beryl via Terminal?

well i was going to say restart and at login go to sessions and change it to gnome, beryl will start but it won't work, and you can get to your setttings as weel

when i paste some text with ctrl-v it sends immediately

sudo apt-get remove beryl.. i do believe

is there a way to overcome that?

ctrl alt f1 to switch to a console terminal and then i guess mixing with xorg conf maybe? or apt-get remove beryl

!paste | hasan

pastebin is a service to post large 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 #ubuntu channel topic)

ok, I tried that, and it looks like it's doing it.

i need to burn an .iso file to a CD (ubuntu 7.04 image).... i already have ubuntu 7.04 on this comp.... what should i do?

when I edit grub/menu.lst do I need to run update-grub?

ok.. i think that will do it.

IndyGunFreak, did that remove settings too?

or you could try in a console kill all beryl and then start x again

if it doesn't, sudo apt-get remove beyrl-settings

hi

use a CD burning programme

I mean, any configuration files and stuff.

got any suggestions on name of one

so whenI reinstall, it would be a FRESH, clean install.

you mean config-files unrelated to beryl?.. no it shouldn't

arooni, try K3B

oh that i don't know about.

No, I mean related to Ubuntu

it shouldn't mess with Ubuntu config files, no.

gnomebaker, k3b, xcdroast, wodim from cmdline.. whichever pleases you

I want to reinstall with a fresh version of Beryl

where is placed the content of trash bin ?

xcdroast, never could get that to work.. gnomebaker r0x0rz..

there are the files i cant remove in it
how can i force it ?
within command line?

~/.Trash/

thx

open a terminal, gksudo nautilus, then show hidden files, then navigate to ./trash.. and delete the files.\
you'll need nautilus with root access to delete them

how about 'sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*'?

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

can anyone help me out with mounting my hard drive? it says cannot mount... wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or other error

that might work.. not sure... i don't mess with terminal to much

what filesystem?

NTFS i believe

!ntfs

To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

i use kubuntu
and i cant find this hidden trash in my home directory

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently .. i dont know how to find the servername / location

ok i will read that link,, thanks

i don't know about kubuntu.

HOw do I restart my PC via Terminal?

sudo shutdown -r now

open a terminal, and type gksudo konquror(or however its spelled)

thanks madman.

then try to find ./trash

init 6 to restart in think

i think you can also type "reboot"

kdesu, not gksudo

or what bitumen2003 said.. init 6

gksudo should work also.

sudo init 6

hmm.. dunno where the trash is in KDE

it should be in /home

vzduch, I'm looking for it now

Hi. how much of a fuss is it to install and configure an internal Bluetooth card?

i think sudo shutdown -r now is better

I do sudo reboot

yeah

!bluetooth

For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup

to no avail unfortunately, I'm afraid :

can i call u "air"?

sudo reboot?..lol, never heard of that one

no you can't

too easy!! a no-brainer

IndyGunFreak, lemme check...

If I launch Beryl-settings, will that ALSO launch Beryl-manager?

proc ne?

no, I think its just "reboot" .. it worked in my fedora days

hasan, vzduch, It should be in ~/local/share/Trash

probably

~/.local/share/Trash

how can i view my windows network?

sorry

samba fails to show my windows network

wonder why they hid trash there.

it's split into two folders, files and info

a person could always do a file search in the home directory

well, it seems no matter what i try to do, using script, fdisk -l, it just seems to return this msg: "Unable to seek on /dev/sda"

ok
WHEN i view my windows network (with samba) it sometimes shows up, and sometimes doesnt,... so i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently .. but i do not know how to find my servername

When I'm playing X-moto (native linux game), it periodically de-select itself and enters window mode, so that I loose control over the game. Annoying. What can I do?

how to install nvidia drivers?

hi. im having a problem with synaptic package manager. a little earlier i was having problems installing flash player (someone here sent me the install file, thanks). i was trying to install it through synaptic but the install was hanging so i closed the program, but now i cant start it. i keep getting this error telling me to run a command, but when i run that command it just tries to resume the install for flashplugin-nonfree which w
on't finish. is there anything i can do to fix this? here is the error

restricted driver

!nvidia

To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

well, i'd do what it says

beryl owns compiz

sldkfj, yes.

w00t

sldkfj, using beryl

can i use automatix fot it?

hi guys -- i have a monitor/card that supports 1680x1050. i have that resolution in my xorg.conf, but when i start X, the available resolutions go only to 1280x1024. any ideas? i'm running ETCH and randr is supported by my driver

visit #beryl or #compiz for help, ask for crdlb he is the best bet

!automatix | fpscracker

Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

i did, but it just tries to resume installing the flashplugin which WON'T install so i can't get anywhere

sorry not Etch, edgy

do you run nvidia drivers?

is there a way to just make it stop trying to install that

don't use automatix for anything.

no.
