baconbits, wow vesa didn't work :/ do you have any internet connection?

My only connection is my grandma's neighbors' wifi...and I tried wget www.google.com and it didn't work, so I'm assuming my wifi card isn't enabled in the console

when i run the command 'nmap -sS -T4 -O scanme.nmap.org' my modem freezes after few seconds although nmap continues scanning and shows little progress

How are you chatting here then? From a different machine?

sudo ifconfig -a do you have a wifi0 or an ath0 or eth1 or anything?

prueva lo que te dice Nuked, busca gutenprint drivers, a ver si te aparece algo así en el sinaptic

From the windows partition
If it helps, I do have a USB flash drive...can I somehow get the drivers I need onto it and access them when I'm in ubuntu?

hey can anyone help me?

greg_ pero yo creo que este modulo es solamente para el printer, y no para el scaner

baconbits, yes if you can get the xorg-driver-fglrx package and install that
baconbits, then run the dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg command and choose the fglrx driver

its fairly easy to connect to wifi spot if they are not using wpa encryption. once youre connected it would make fixing easier

OK. adrian, ya lo has "oido"

crdlb, whats his problem?

i installed ubuntu 7.04 64bit alternate version, and the system always freezes, especially while using apt-get, how can i fix this?

Is there any way you could get me some step by step instructions? I'm new to ubuntu. Also, they dont have any encryption on their wifi so if that is easier, I could do that.

whats the command of gear-glx to test?

Nuked, even vesa won't work on his ati card, so he need to get fglrx
greg_, glxinfo|grep direct

greg_, glxinfo | grep direct

greg_, that command is actually useful you were looking for glxgears though

For the system to freeze you have a hardware problem. You should probably run memcheck from the install CD

Heh, let's see if Safari for Windows works on Wine :P

lo intentare

ok ih70 i will

glxgears is no use for benchmarking

A browser designed for one OS, running on another "emulated" OS :P

but i dont have this problem with any other distribution(slackware, opensuse)

ih70.. it could be a driver controlling hardware

this room is filled with hippies!

hahaha.
Aww.. Safari install failed.

pike_, !offtopic

No idea why.

baconbits, what wireless chipset do you have? look in the windows device manager you don't know

the fact that vpc doesn't have usb support is a huge disapointment for me. but it has installed on my systems easier then vmware has in the past

Hrmm.. found why, I guess..

niekie, they released safari for windows

hmm... In that case is it possible you installed the wrong architecture?

im trying to compile mac80211 and I get Checking kernel compatibility in:

Yes ???

It tried to start the Bonjour service.. while I explicitly said to not do that :P

any thoughts on why nm-applet would connect to wpa2 networks, but not wide-open unsecured access points?

virtualbox is awesome

and yeah the virtaul machine additions can't be installed on a *nix os. microsoft hates all things different

greg_, it's working then

I know.
But...
I'm running Safari for Windows under Wine
Or at least, trying to.

youve never had a driver cause a freeze?

niekie, try setting wine's version to xp

hmm..
it is.

hello, I installed a panel applet in gnome and it brought down the entire gnome panel.. I have removed the package gnome-panel-macaplet
but if I restart gnome-panel it still seg faults

Though I use a special personal build of Wine.
With patches.
So Joost runs on it

is there a way to reset the panel or remove a config file ?

MS is now in very tight competition with VMWare in that market. I remember reading a press release that they do support Linux as guest

baconbits, that's no good, ubuntu doesn't come with drivers for it

hi all... i installed Ubuntu via Wubi last night, but I have wireless ethernet so I didn't have a connection... I was then on Windows and just tried plugging in an ethernet cable and rebooted and tried to boot up in Ubuntu

any suggestions?

then I can to install beryl ?

Anyway, got to go now

I just installed kdocker using the synaptic package manager, but it doesn't show up in the menu. First time user of ubuntu 7.04

yeah i've been able to install various *nix OSes on it in the past. with mixed results

Ugh OCD is fun.

could you MemoServ me your findings?

sure

mi escaner no lo se configurar

Thanks

What the heck is Wubi? Second time someone mentions it

I'm off now.

Its a windows based installer for ubuntu

OK, I'm going to.

it adds ubuntu to the boot record for windows, and installs via windows to free hdd space, without creating a partition

is there an easy/best way to configure apache2?

I have not tried virtualbox. Does it have USB support? I think it did not have USB when I was reading about it some 2-3 months ago

ayudenme con mi scaner

yeah, it has USB support

anyone know anything about kdocker ?

grammasta, you are using gnome ?

so... how the heck do I fix Error 17?

Ok so can someone give me step by step for getting the fglrx drivers, as well as the drivers for my wifi card onto my USB flash drive and then installing them?

yes

its also got pointer integration- it automatically captures and releases the mouse, etc...

grammasta, kdocker is for kde so uts useless for you
its*

Yes, GSF1200S is right. The other suspect is a driver. Any "funky" hardware that you can think of?

ah...:-) I tried alltray first, but couldn't get it to work

grtacias por la ayuda

I just want to minimize evolution mail to the tray

grammasta, alltry is easy to use, first klik the alltray button, then klick the app you wish to dock

I'm registered and authed if it'd be easier to pm with me, just fyi

yeah, I tried that..but nothing happened when I clicked on the program

afaik kdocker works with gnome.. never tried it but the description says it does.

idefixx, thats intersting, did not know that ..

how do I leave a memo for someone?

use memoserv
/msg memoserv help

where do i click ?

ooh i love VMware

interesting article, but it didn't really address the reasons why I would typically compile hosting a custom kernel (i.e. for very specific workloads, or for use on a "less than modern" system). I wonder how much of ubunto is statically compiled into the kernel, and how much is loaded as modules during boot.

Ok so can someone give me step by step for getting the fglrx drivers, as well as the drivers for my wifi card onto my USB flash drive and then installing them?

renic, everything that can be a module is a module

grammasta, as soon as you klick the alltray button in the menu your cursor becomes a + click that + on the app you wish to dock

baconbits thanks

No prob

Booting ‘find /wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst’
Find--set-root-- ignore – floppies /wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst
File not found
Booting ‘find /menu.lst’
Find--set-root- ignore – floppies /menu.lst
file not found
that's what I get

yeah, I get the + icon, but no matter where I click in the Evolution Mail window, nothing happens

grammasta, dont click the box that pops up , that box is a cancel box

how do I find the file?

and is everything that can't be a module necessary?

grammasta, alltray works like a charm here, not sure what goes wrong then

yeah, I know, but nothing happens when I click outside of that....(got evolution mail open when I start alltray)

Hi there, I have an nvidia 8800, but in the newest driers of nvidia for linux, the support list is only to 8600, will this drivers work with my graphic card???

not trying to sound like I know what i'm talking about, just want to learn... being new to linux.

tyoc, the 8800 came out first

then, it is already supported?

tyoc, even the 9755 driver supports the 8800. the packages in ubuntu's repositories have a bug which prevents them from working with the 8800

Brian-myth

can i click anywhere in the window, or is there somewhere special I have to click ?

crdbl, then I get best if I install the latest ones?

grammasta, just click the + inside the evolution mail window

I still need help

Linux Display Driver - x86 Version: 100.14.09

what should happen when i do that ?

tyoc, in general I never recommend installing the drivers outside of the repositories, so what you can do is install the driver with the restricted drivers manager, and then copy over the missing file (libwfb.so)
tyoc, there are numerous guides to this on the ubuntu forums

OK, then I will check them out

grammasta, evolution mail minimises and you'll see a mail tray icon appearing

I still need help

that doesn't happen here.....

anyone here use banshee music player? im trying to figure out why it gives me this error when i try to import these files: http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3603/screenshotld0.png

is there any way I can set alltray up so that when i click minimize in evolution mail, it will minimize to the tray ?

And just like that, no one is helping anyone

why is this happening? http://pastebin.ca/565849

If you were to ask a question, maybe someone would

grammasta, it does not work that way, first open the evolution mailbox, then klick alltray icon, then click the evolution gui and it will dock

is there something i can read up for hibernating my laptop?

«ih70» I asked it ages ago...should I continue asking?

I have not seen it "ages ago"

I've tried to do that, but it's not working.....do I have to restart the computer ?

hey, can anyone explain to me how to connect to a unic share?

nope

unix

grammasta, not sure whart is wrong, it works like a charm here

i've been working on a few problems in a few different channels & did not see your question.

hmmm....that sucks........I want to have evolution open, but not take up space on the bottom

What would be the definition of "unix share"?

I have an ATI card that is apparently not supported by the vesa drivers. I was told I need the flgrx drivers, but I'm not on a wired connection and the driver for my wifi isn't built into linux. I have a usb drive...my idea was that I could possibly get both those drivers onto my usb drive and install them from there. problem is, I'm completely new (hours) to linux, so I don't know how to do that. I am on windows partition right now.

NFS share

why can i never get an answer in this room unless im asking a complete n00b question

Sorry, not familiar with NFS

it's the industry standard *nix file sharing protocol

Sorry, I don't know about that information.

any other program I can use instead of alltray ?

yes, you could put the drivers on another drive. i would get the stuff you need for your wi-fi, & put them on there, as well.

sudo apt-get install mail-notification-evolution

Hello, when i wan't to copy a large amount of files with "cp". Is there a command that will copy everything BUT a selected file/dir of my choice?

If I am not mistaken it says it can't find "curses.h"

alright, I'll check that out

yeah i see

Exactly...But I wouldn't know a trustworthy place to get those drivers, what they would be called, how to make sure I get the right version, or how to access and install them once I boot to ubuntu

i used the apt source package
shouldnt it have this?

sudo aptitude install libncurses5

I don't think that getting the source package installs the necessary dependencies needed to build that package

might need -dev (random guess)

right, mage

which ati card & wi-fi?

i already have that lib installed

why are you trying vesa? Did you try the open "ati" driver? (not fglrx)
the -dev version?

by source package i mean linux-source-2.6.20

I am not sure, but if you try to build a .deb from the source it should then install all the -dev packages it needs

Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965AGN
and it's the X1400 ATI Mobility radeon

I'm asking about your video driver

tritium, thanks, that dev lib fixed it

hey all, i ran and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade last night and wasn't able to get a couple of program working this morning, is there anyway to check which packages were updated (I didn't really look at the list at the time)

no problem

I tried vesa because I was told to. When I first started ubuntu after installing, it said "No screens" after it said it couldnt start the x server or whatever. I asked here and someone told me to try vesa. I did and it gave me the same error, so they said I'd need fglrx

you should try "ati" and "radeon" before vesa

if vesa says no screens, i think the problem may be more serious
you should read your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find the problems

the driver you need for the ati card is xorg-driver-fglrx

tritium, there is no r500 support in the radeon dirver
not even 2d

okay, then ati

tritium, ati = radeon

if vesa does not work , nothing will work

AFACS the driver for the Intel Wifi is http://intellinuxwireless.org/ It is very new, so it's probably not in the normal repos yet.

there is no difference at all?

ati is just a wrapper that loads radeon or r128

ah, right

for the driver for your wi-fi, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel_4965_AGN_WiFi_Driver/Fiesty

I've had vesa not work, yet other drivers do

and I have heard of ati cards not working of vesa
on*

tritium, ooh

I need help getting tv tuner working?

but in general, I think what you said _should_ be true

Now where do I get fglrx?

help, i can't really tell where my ssh login is failing (and why). it *seems* like i'm actually able to log in and start the login shell (/usr/NX/bin/nxserver)...but then what happens? http://rafb.net/p/TzIWDf18.html

fglrx is in the repos for "restricted" drivers - xorg-driver-fglrx

is it possible to import my Windows/Fonts to Ubuntu?

if you need to transfer it on a usb stick or similar due to not having internet access, get it off of packages.ubuntu.com

Where at? I'm there now, but I don't know where to go

I have a Gigabyte GA-M61PM-S2 motherboard with onboard audio. Manual says Realtek ALC883 chip. LSPCI says "nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio". lsmod says I am using snd_hda_intel. Audio in most OSS games has static/clicking/popping. ALSA games work fine. Help?

How do I figure out which version of bluez I have installed?

Which one do I dl, amd64 or 1386?

dpkg -l | grep bluez

i386*

or, apt-cache policy bluez

does your machine have an intel or an amd processor?

intel

hey crdbl, you have say " tyoc, in general I never recommend installing the drivers outside of the repositories, so what you can do is install the driver with the restricted drivers manager, and then copy over the missing file (libwfb.so)"

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/xorg-driver-fglrx_7.1.0-8.34.8+2.6.20.5-16.28_i386.deb

OK so I save that to my usb drive...then what's the process for installing it?

how do i run a foo.sh file?

Hm, says bluez 3.9.

is there a point-and-click way to run an .sh file?

ih70, tritium, gracias.

doubleclick it

what you mean with the missing file??
Im reading http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_nvidia_feisty and havent found any note about it??

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/foo.deb

sup?

puth execution permission over the file and double click it, or in a terminal do chmod +x file.sh or simply do sh file.sh

after you get the file on your usb drive, you should be able to navigate to the drive, and double-click on the file. it should open gdebi, which is a graphical package installer.

Yes, double-click on it as on any other executable. For this to work the file needs to have the "execute" flag - # chmod +x file.sh

I dont know how to navigate, and if its in the console how would I double click?

see what I told you above. The path should be somewhere under /media

anyone know how i can change the openoffice splash screen?

open nautilus, ALT+F2 write nautilus

i'm not talking about using the console, i'm talking about doing it the graphical way.

he has no X right now

well that wou;d be hard without x

oh...

lol

Can I know who block me on aMSN?

«tritium» how will I know the path

it depends on your usb stick, but it should show up under /media after you plug it in

Hello

I need some sound card support, I am using a gateway MT6458.

Can nobody help me?

«tritium» well I'm a total newb so I don't know how to navigate around

Can I know who block me on aMSN?

with the "cd" command

error: Sorry, you should install the libbluetooth library before trying to compile this package

«tritium» just like windows?

then "sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_7.1.0-8.34.8+2.6.20.5-16.28_i386.deb" would be the best web hosting bet.

ii libbluetooth1 2.24-0ubuntu1 Library to use the BlueZ secure linux web hosting Bluetooth stack

Wtf?

I guess

What exactly is the problem

Trying to build avetanabt.sourceforge.net, on top of bluez. Not working :-(.

perhaps there is an amsn channel in which you can ask that question
that's not a -dev library

Thank you

Come again?

What is the error you are getting?

use the restricted drivers manager, then before rebooting, follow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2687780&postcount=16

you don't have a development library with headers installed. You only have the shared libs installed.

tyoc, are you using 32bit?

http://www.valhallachat.com/?q=book/export/html/11

i.e., get the -dev version of the library package

#C6C

baconbits, one thing worth considering is to install a driver for your linux partition in windows
baconbits, then you can place the .deb in /home/username/ and it'll be much easier to install

you can?

lekremyelsew, yes

Ah-hah... now I see it.

crdlb, thanks for the help

..."show up under /media after you plug it in" ...will that work (automount) without the gui?

yes

yes, Im using 32 bit

puff; Did you install "libbluetooth1-dev" ?

good to know.

will libbluetooth-dev and libbluetooth2-dev confict?

I told him to

anyone here use banshee music player? im trying to figure out why it gives me this error when i try to import these files: http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3603/screenshotld0.png

they may. You'd have to investigate

There doesn't appear to be a libbluetooth1-dev, just libbluetooth-dev.
Hm.

I read an article about how to install wine.. it says that winecfg must be installed with with wine.. do I install winecfg manually?

it's in the wine package

NeXtDaY, it is part of wine

«tritium» I'll go try that...if it doesn't work i'm going to bed and I'll be abck tomorrow

I'm goign to bed also

Thanks tritium and tovella

going*

aha thanks tritium |_ocks

happy sleeping.

Good luck, baconbits. If you have troubles, we'll see you tomorrow.
NeXtDaY:

You too, thanks, see ya tomorrow if it doesn't work!

NeXtDaY, np

another question please: do i need to run winecfg before running wine?

NeXtDaY, its a good idea

tritium, what is this thing complaining about? http://pastebin.ca/565868

i dont see why youd ask instead of running it first to find out anyways

|_ocke lol
I am still new to Ubuntu.. gimme a break ;-)

anything that is 'cfg' or 'config' i think would be common sense or at least curiosity to run before running any program

what error message do you get?

It can't find the file dev.c

NeXtDaY, well, in taht case.. its common sense or at least you should be curious enough to run configuration of any program befopre running the program
besides, you want it to run the way you intend and operate on the data you intend anyways, right?

|_ocke right

oh, i see it now.

|_ocke ok. thats clear so far..

so always try configuring everything first is the moral here

If you wish to create a user in MySQL that can be connected to from any host, what would you specify under the host column?

i have no idea about why banshee would do this. have you tried other music players? exaile, maybe?

tovella, it works in everything else yeah. but banshee is the player that i use and like.

i can't find anything about why, nor how to fix it.
i like the screenshot, though. what theme is it? where can i get it?

so anyway to replace the openoffice splash screen?

Can nobody help me? I would like to ask about any program make a chat voice like " Yahoo " but in ubuntu 7.4 ?

hi, i just downloaded gnutella-gtk, but how do i use it? first idea was just hit search but that doesnt do anything

hey guys, i can get to a computer using vnc, but how do i get to is using ssh?
im new to this stuff

how can i check to see what services are running, like mysql?

i used to use that program. it's got a lot of features & functions that might be best found on their documentation page.

i just downloaded a file on desktop
and i dont know where did it go
lol

is there a nice GUI to install new apt mirrors?

also, how can i get internet on a computer that is connected via network cable to a computer that has internet?

easiest way is with a router

Software Sources.

the one computer has to be set up as a router and a gateway, and the other has to use it

okie dokie
nvm, this is not a permanent setup

or you just get a hardware router and connect them both

but how do i transfer files from one to the other?

ok ill look at their docs

via a network cable

sparr's way will work too, just takes some time/effort to configure compared
using FTP, scp, samba, there are many ways

tovella, the window boarder is "stormcloud". http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/StormCloud?content=44355

each workspace can hold its own programs, so you can have one for [activity X] and one for [activity Y] and you can keep them separate but both still open (or two related things, but still things best web hosting to keep separate, references on one, editors on the other, etc)

Thanks alot

gnomemeeting does h232. Er, Ekiga. So anything else that complies to the standard (MS netmeeting, and a slew of others) can chat.

erm... I made the possibly fatal mistake of mounting two ISO's to one mountpoint
how can I unmount both of them?

just unmount twice.

Doesn't work
nothing happens
and through the gui I get an error saying it's mounted twice

how i install mysql on ubuntu 7.04 ?

I know . But as now - multiple programs can also be run at the same time -- so what is the selling point ? -- i know old unix machine has to have 4 of them --?

you'll have to supply the mountpoint as target not the device i guess.

How can i log as root?

a12345, personally, I run eight virtual desktops, generally 1 app per desktop

Ubuntu has two by default (since... edgy?) before that was four. The "selling point" is that you don't have to keep shuffling between applications, minimizing/maximizing, moving them around.

ok the hash file is a match , could the 1 file have made my install not work it would it have to do with the way i burnt the image?

also run it as root with sudo

You don't need to. Ubuntu uses sudo instead of he root account.

also run it as root with sudo

Why are you compiling tvtime? It's in universe

how do i run a foo.sh file?

can anyone recommend an x terminal font? i'm on a laptop and monospace 10 is hardly readable. please help

yo i have this error when trying to update NO_PUBKEY DB5D6B0AA3012FB3
how do i get this public key

you mean the original yahoo messenger?

i tried wget http://mirror.randumb.org/darkmagez/repo/DB5D6B0AA3012FB3.gpg - O | sudo apt-key add but that did not work

you can do it in the BIOS, and a few other places that I forget

yes

no, there is a less featured and pretty old linuxport of it from yahoo themselves but believe me, gaim is a better alternative

Anyone know what the next release of ubuntu is going to have in it

Thanks for helping me Varka

What is 2.1.6? Version of what?

Flannel

Hi, which download manager (GUI prefferably included) would you recommend for a linux noob?

Flannel, you know when you choose your operating system

you mean at GRUB?

moin

http://www.phrozensmoke.com/projects/pyvoicechat/index_gyache.php

disabled by default apparently, kernel option 'ht=on' to enable - I'll be rebooting shortly to check

does ubuntu support read & write of chinese character?

hey guys

ok. You'll need to double check those numbers, since neither are proper kernel versions

/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

it does.

if I want dual monitor with two seperate card, should I just use mergedFB ?

do i have to install ubuntu on c drive?

Can I control my fan speed through software?

no, you can install it anywhere

i have installed it but after that configuration is the problem for me

yep it is... but it'll probably pull a whole bunch of dependencies with it.

does it give me a option when i install it?

yes

) and have Ubuntu and Windows on the same drive

can somebody please help me

pastebin your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst)

what is pastbin?

!pastebin | sahil_

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)

thank you. It's up and running, but no sound. Is it possible it's using the wrong audio card?

Flannel, i cannot open the menu.lst file even with sudo from terminal
sudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst

You don't need to use sudo. And you missed the leading /: `gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst`

barney@spadge:~$ firefox

i pasted it

Flannel, i paste dit

You need to give us the URL

this looks normal. You'll also notice that it's not 2.1.5 nor 2.1.6, but 2.6.20-15 and 2.6.20-16. Anyway, whats the issue? 2.5.20-16 doesn't work? What error does it give? It's probably all the funky duplicate boot parameters. Try `sudo update-grub` that'll regenerate your menu.lst without all the oddities.

Can I make a phone calls by linux ubuntu 7.4?

This is RUBBISH
firefox is completely broken

Flannel, it says that my graphical user interface, something with Xorg or Xserver failed to start

I haven't even done anything to break it

then what have you done?

bugs happen. Have you checked launchpad to see if its happened withanyone else?

Uhg
Well
It seems like a pretty big bug to be honest o.O

I'd try sudo update-grub and try again.

Flannel i did that, I will restart now an come back
thanks for all your help, i was in a distress situation

sahil_, out of interest, what graphics card have you got?

I'll just apt-get epiphany

It doesn't mean it's happening for very many people. Bugs are unknown until they happen

hm
okay.
well
I'll check.

is there a howto somewhere for installing beryl with the fglrx driver and xgl?

does pentium mobile support hyperthreading? how do I tell if it's enabled?

i can't seem to find one

!beryl | AshyIsMe

Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects

does pentium mobile support hyperthreading? how do I tell if it's enabled?

is there a way to adjust xorg's bit depth without going into xorg.conf when using ubuntu? I want to restrict it to 16bit or less

we heard you the first time

thanks

is there a way to get network-manager to remember my wireles passwords?

try rebooting. Theres a bug, just like yours, says that after a reboot, it workd.

I tried that
Instead of segfaulting it just crashed

Flannel, just wondering about sahil_'s problem, they said that the xserver fails to start, did they mention which graphics card they had? if its nvidia and its not the driver installed via the repo's, could be they need to reinstall the driver, i use the nvidia driver & after the last kernel updates thats what I had to do

I've got it working now. I had to hit "restore session"

kk, lagging badly

cat /proc/cpuinfo will show how many cores you currently 'have'

How do I make it so my screen doesn't fade out while I'm watching movies or whatever.

no, he didn'tmention anything, but he had some pretty funky stuff going on in his menu.lst, we'll see if that fixes it.

ht doesn't appear as an additional core seemingly

yes it does

Flannel, rite, i didn't look at his paste

check the flags at the end, is there a 'ht' there?

how do i determine how much swap space is in use?

'free -m'
or any other tool gnome and kde both got some kind of system monitor.

Anyone...?

hi... running Ubuntu 6.10 - the update manager keeps informing me that i have updates to install. When I open it and click "Install Updates" it says checking for updates then does nothing (returns to the list). Any ideas?

nope - I'm think Pentium M isn't capable of HT ?

it usualy doesnt... what movie player are u using?

appears not to

guys is it bad to have kde applications running on gnome ?

returns to the list? the list of updates to install?

yes

does anyone know the command line equivalent of the synaptic 'fix broken packages' menu item?

lol

is there anyway to put panels back to default in ubuntu?

no or yes?

e.g. starts with Security updates then other updates

so, hit 'update' or whatever, apply updates, etc.

thats what i did, it returns to the list

Online.

no. Just means you have to have gnome and KDE libs in memory sometimes

i heard its inefficient cause it makes gnome load kde libraries when running these applications

A flash movie, on tv-links.co.uk
I figured it out. 'xset -dpms'
Well, I'm off. Me and my gf are watching Interbiew with a Vampire.

ok also some kde application dont work on gnome such as super karamaba any solution to this ?

oh. Well, close that, start up synaptic, hit 'reload' then 'mark all upgrades' then 'apply' and that'll work. You might have an old/buggy/whatever version of update-manager

how can i password protect certain folders in ubuntu 7.04

Flannel, itr worked, that you VERY VERY VEYR VYER VEYR MUCH!

it does.. if you considre that bad it is bad.. i though you meant if it doesnt work or poses a security risk. it makes gnome load kde libs and consumes way more mem than a nativ gnome app

Flannel - will try, two mins
ah... erm, Synaptic wont start...
no errors, nothing

its like asking is it bad to run a .net app on windows

You need to close other package managers (apt-get, aptitude, adept, update-manager, add/remvoe, etc)
uYou need to close other package managers (apt-get, aptitude, adept, update-manager, add/remvoe, etc)/u

is there a way to put panels back to default in ubuntu?

they're all closed (aside from the tray icon)

not all kde apps run on gnome , such as super karamba any solution to this ?

try starting it from a gnome-terminal (`gksu synaptic`)

error while loading shared libraries: libgtop-2.0.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i get the feeling something broke somehow

not really sry... its the first time i heared that there actualy are apps that dont run... it probably because some libarys are missing.

alright, well, lets do it a method i know will work. In that same terminal, `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`

i usually have kde and gnome installed never ran into an app that didnt work with gnome.

how to install squid proxy ?

hmm... ive got /usr/lib/libgtop-2.0.so.7.0.0 ... should i just rename it?

vsftpd

no. Thats asking for trouble

IF some day ubuntu stoped the support for repositories and apps. how can i use synaptic then ?

heya noiesmo

can somebody help me to create password to protect certain folders in ubuntu 7.04

you cant in that case.. well you could use a dvd.. or migrade to debian.. which at that (theoretical point) would probably be possible.

what is the difference between regular Qt4 and kdecopy packages?

sorry for repost - but does anyone know the command line equivalent of the synaptic 'fix broken packages' menu item?

necro, hey

probably --fix-broken

Got TvTime up and running, but no sound. Any idea why? I'm pretty sure my mixer settings are correct.

Flannel - the apt-get method appears to be working... any ideas on fixing the others? i recently installed Synce - it seems to have broken since then, and synce appears to use that libary (it create symlinks to it)

necro, sound work every where else but tvtime

How did you install Synce?

yea, listenin' to mp3's as we speak.

in synaptic? or apt-get? apt-cache? dpkg? (sorry - haven't found it - just not sure where too look :-))

how to install squid proxy ?

following instructions on the ubuntu forums (mainly apt-get and dpkg)

apt-get, I'm sure aptitude has something comperable as well

necro cool but i've not used tvtime before will be gtting a capture card shortly gonna make a mythtv box

Anybody good at make or gmake?

hi to all
anyone has tried vmware server on ubuntu starting from canonical repository?

ah - got it - not in the normal help output but in the man page - np - many thanks

Yea, I recently tried mythdora, didn't like it. Couldn't even tell fedora was under there.

has a problem?

alright. Well, that shouldn't break anything if you used package management (since thats the point, to not break things), but I don't know for sure. synCE is in universe and stuff, if you did stuff other than that, I can't say for certain.

javaSourceFiles

That appears to be generating a size 0 file, and then the subsequent command ( (mkdir build; javac -d build @javaSourceFiles)) fails.

hmm, ok... is there anyway to find out which version libgtop is (without the filename)... im starting to suspect it may have renamed it or something

you want to compile or ...?

what's your question?

what's your question?: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

Yeah. The java files are there, a shell find ./ -name "*.java" finds them.

guys wat language is used to make the kde - gnome applications,, ubuntu applications generally is it python or wat ?

no source files"

gnome is python

nero, lol I gonna turn me current main system into mythtv with wireless (fingers crossed) gotta get the wireless card also getting a amd am2 4800+ system for new main

so ? that need/find a file *.java

i want to try vmware on ubuntu into an enterprise environment

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this line in the make file: (mkdir build; javac -d build @javaSourceFiles)

javaSourceFiles

plenty of people do this - either server or player

i like have kernel modules into .deb but ubuntu server....? i'm searching opinions

let try...

nice. Got one more for ya. (Sorry) It looks like I got samba up and running, but when I go to log in from the windows side, it asks for a user/password, and none of them work!

where is the bot ~~

necro, yeah can fix that for ya

coolio

I don't understand you.

!bot | burnerx

I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots

idefixx wont it be possible to insert other repositories than packages.ubuntu.com , in to synaptic to use ?

!bot vsftpd

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

you need to setup samba passwords for users (different/separate from normal login passwords)

that mean waht you compile find/need *.java in the current directory

of yourse there are a lot of other mirrors...

ahhh

of course*

necro, do you want there to be no password ( no as secure) or have user and pass

idefixx i dont mean ubuntu mirrors. i mean non ubuntu but debian mirrors. that support ubuntu

no passwords

Whats the command for finding out how much free space you have on the root partition???

well, got to go. Thanks Flannel

necro, okledokly first thing is to open up smb.conf file

than the information collect in variable @javaSourceFile

necro, use sudo

can i install ubuntu server with feisty dvd? i need ubuntu server iso?

javaSourceFiles" means find *.java in the current directory

one step ahead of ya. Opened and ready.

necro, find the line that reads security = user
necro change that to security = share

yes

DVD has a CLI install option. You can install that, then switch the server kernel if you want

idefixx ?

Okay, so it's incorrect then. What it needs to do is find *.java in subdirectories of directory de, directory com, and directory javax. How do I fix it to do that?

K. That it?

necro save the file and restart samba "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart"

well at this point there is no such thing and this situation will become reality... if canonial 'stops' ubuntu there will be no new versions the old repos will still exists thats it.

man find
parameter -iname

K, I'll go check.

necro, now your winblows users should get access not 100% if theyll ave write permissions

idefixx but what about repositories

damn im to tired.. i meant: this situtation will NEVER become reality...

So it's just invoking the shell command version of find?

there are 100th of mirrors that have nothing to do with ubuntu itself they will still exist

yup...

hey just wonderin has any one managed to get ubuntu to run beryl with the ati x1550 graphics card?

necro, you will need to list the shares in smb.conf also and then if you want everyone to write to them do "sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/sharename"

How do i find out how much space i have on my root partition???

K, emm..it moved from the default MSHome to where it was supposed to, but it's still asking for users and passwords that don't work.

Just open a terminal and type df -h

man df

thank you

not worried about write permission.

Anytime man

idefixx K. thanks

necro, ah hang on sorry you need to set some specs in smb.conf for guest on the shared folders

for a test environment what do i choose? the host must be only a vmware server host...dapper? edgy? feisty? i want use the canonical repository for vmware

I'm pretty sure everything I wanna share is listed in there correctly.

why doesnt all repos work for all distros? whats the differnce. they are all linux

necro "guest ok = yes" for each share

whats mean ubunta?

!xsensors

???

necro, then restart samba after you edit file each time

???

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

how can i login to vsftp without creating the user ?

hello, I was wondering if there was a way to AUTOMATICALLY name a file to today's date (for backup purposes)

anonymously
yes there is, you'll need to write a script

Is this chanel in the same server as #ubuntu

Voyage_, just different versions, Ubuntu may use version 1.23 of something, Debian may use 1.21, Slackware could use 1.20, the repo's are designed to work with the specific versions used by Ubuntu

thmcmahon, but i want people to login with an account name & passowrd

got a prob on ubuntu installation, it says no devices found, probably means the sata hdd

necro, hmmm paste your smb.conf for me please

yep

what can i do

one that checks the date, puts it in a variable and uses that variable?

take a look at all the different linux distros and how they work and their development phylosphies. if you do that i'll become very clear why there are a lot of distros.

Thanks bro!

are you writing a bash script
np

CheshireViking version of what. apps ? or kernal??

not yet

Voyage_, libraries - same as there's different versions of software for windows vista and windows xp, they use different versions of supporting software

i'm a bit rusty
but tldp.org has a couple of comprehensive bash guides that will tell you how to do it

thmcmahon, how can i tell vsftpd to not use real system users

CheshireViking ah ic. why dont they use universal and latest ones. like windows.

http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25485/

probably, thanks for putting meon the way

sorry i'm not sure dude
np

has Qt 4.3 been backported to Feisty?

necro, get rid of the ; if front of security = share line 91

Voyage_, thats the point, even Windows doesn't between different versions, some versions of linux use older "tried and trusted" versions for stability, others will use a more recent version that might not be tested as much, if you want to run a server, you want something that's rock solid, but for a desktop its not as necessary

how big should i make my swap partition if i had 1gig of RAM?

CheshireViking agreed. thanks !

necro, the ";" is comment out also restart samba

Can I use a user specific or even better - browser specifc /etc/hosts?

K, checking....
BINGO. Thank you VERY much. I'm in your debt.
