lol patrick
morning guys
haha, sorry if Im annoying, but, have deadlines for some things tomorrow(well later today) and need OSX installed back on my Macbook, Ubuntu is on now, and my Tiger DVD, and CDs wont boot??
bryan, What happens when you boot holding the option key with the OSx DVD in?
hi.. i wana ask.. how to install ubuntu in 1 partition without swap
option at boot isnt doing anything...
neither is apple/option/o/f
hi i wana ask.. how to install ubuntu in 1 partition without a swap partition
?
for open firmware! its freaking me out!
how much ram do you have?
2G
bryan, There is no open firmware on new macs, just a sec got to go for a min.
ok, well, thats good to know, let me know when youre back!
so install, and don't create a swap partition. Probably not a good idea, but... It is your box.
bryan, sry i dont know anything about mac, but shouldnt it have some option to chose where to boot from ?
Is there somewhere to browse any version of ubuntu sources, online (without having to checkout from an SVN)?
one good reason to use a swap partition is to be able to hibernate or suspend-to-ram.
yes, usually when you use the "option" key during boot, it will give you the options to boot into

tovella what esle is good "swap" for?
bryan, Back Can you boot into target disk mode? ( hold down T )
=]
bryan , do u have acces to bios ?
How can I find out the reason a /dev/md device has degraded?
SpawN, Hybernating
ill try target disc
mac's dont work that way
good
i c
n2diy, i use vista now.. and i wana install ubuntu... but it seems that i cannot chose the partition
many things, but with 2GB of ram...
Jordan, if it boots into target disc, then what?
there is no *bios* in the sense that there is on a pc
assuming i get that far
sorry, i meant suspend to disk.
i tried following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414194 for ati drivers in fiesty but it says that "xorg-driver-fglrx" doesnt' exist
m1r, What are you trying to do?
Ubuntu will/should create it's own swap partition.
jordan_u, just info
n2diy, it said no root dile system is defined
ok, Jordan, so if "T" works, whats the next step
m1r, On macs you can hold down the option key at boot and it will detect any bootable drives and give you a menu to choose from
or should i test her and log back in here?
You used a previously created partition?
bryan, Do you have another mac by any chance?
i think thats the odd part with Ubuntu installed, maybe its not recognizing the drive as bootable?
hello, i am trying to transfer files with gftp but it's to slow and appears a message "transfer stalled", not sure what it means
Ok, Vista is new to all of us, who knows what is going on with that, sounds like MS is playing dirty tricks?
no, just my Macbook? why
any help?
the DVD, and CD (installs) mounted fine in OSX before Ubuntu though, if that was the concern
i cannto see my partition, i can see my hard drive
niuq, have you tried just the ftp command?
Hi aghain everyone
little help pls
no i have not, i am usgin gftp that has a gui
i just upgraded my RAM today from 256mb to 1gig
Youre in the installer currently, correct? At the "choose your root partition" step? Did you not create a partition on the previous screen?
niuq, the ftp command is pretty easy, but I wouldn't suggest it for many files
so i repartitioned my swap to 2gig (unnecessary, but i thought why not?) and unfortumnately the system momnitor doesnt seem to recognise any swap at all
another reason - if you end up doing a lot more stuff than you expected, that swap partition could come in really handy.
there are actually to many files...
!swap | drowner
swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
do you know why appears that message "transfer stalled"?
niuq, ouch... hrm, stalled... is it connecting multiple times to the server?
you'll need to activate it and stuff, that page should give you all the details
is there a way to have my screensaver start on a monitor im not using until i move my mouse to it?
cool
niuq, some ftp clients make multiple connections, like one for each transfer
if you end up using putting that computer to much more use, i mean.
niuq, most ftp servers only allow sooo many connections before they kick you for abuse
how do i check if my ftp it's doing in that way?
niuq, hold on, lemme actually install gftp and see the options
ok, thank you
apt-get install gftp
oops, wrong window lol
er, where that says to add a swap file, you do basically the same thing, except instead of making the file, you make (already) a partition, in a partition manager. The rest is all the same.
hii
lol yes
niuq, why are you using ftp to begin with? There are better ways to move files no a days.
no/now
Sorry bryan, I got disconnected ( wireless problems )
I've already partitioned, right? so what do I need to do? just modify fstab?
alot of web hosts use ftp
i am moving my website to a hosting
haha\
its cool
niuq, I read your mind lol
^_^)!
bryan, Did you hold C after hearing the boot sound?
i am moving my website to a hosting
You need to mkswap, swapon, and then the fstab. (just remove the first step, since you already did it, except with a partition instead of a file)
niuq, ok, but check out scp, and see if your host supports that?
omg why cant i instal wine
what does scp stands for?
You need to enable universe
sorry wrong user :P
what and how
!touchpad
"C", and tried open firmware, which, now I know isnt on Intel Macs
Sorry, I don't know anything about touchpad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
what does scp stands for
haha
secure copy, it copies a file over ssh
!universe | NForc3r
The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also

niuq, try turning off passive file transfers in optionsftp
!synaptics | noodles13
For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
niuq, secure copy, it is part of the ssh package.
and why would i check that, and how anyways?
!wine | NForc3r
wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
Ok. do i need to remove the current fstab entry for swap?
you mentioned Target Disc Mode/
?
i already tried that
niuq, it is secure.
no, you can have multiple swap partitions
thanks. i just updated to feisty and my scroll doesnt' work
where is http.conf located?
well the previouis entry is for a swap partition that doesnt exist anymore
ok, just tell me how do i check that...
hm. the temerature acpi reports in thermal_zone is about 10C lower than what the lm_sensors module k8temp reports. i wonder which one is more correct....
Ubuntu doesnt use httpd.conf (It's the debian style)
bryan, Yes, that would only help if you had another mac you could connect to it with firewire and install from there
i could do it in virtual pc and live cd tho
ah, then yeah, remove that.
without no extra software
it was just
What are you trying to modify?
Flannel, where would i find the config file for apache
hrm niuq does it upload multiple files at once or one at a time?
i mean the other way around. lm_sensors reports about 10C lower temp
you mean passive file transfer fright?
yes
locate http.conf
ad the rep and type sudo apt-get install wine
yeah, no such luck there, only my Macbook, and the OSX install DVD, or the 4 disc install CDs
it's in apache_folder/conf/http.conf
I repartitioned the sda2 (extended) and sda5 (swap) and made it bigger.
synaptic, and then search for ssh, and read the description.
it's all in /etc/apache2 (well, or /etc/apache, but I imagine you have apache2). apache2.conf is for serverwide things (normal things), mods-enabled is for modules, sites-enabled for virtualhost related thigns.
"do one transfer at one", that is checked
NForc3r, Exactly, and have you added the repo ?
none which have booted from "C" at start, but, all are new and I know are ok
alright niuq and that don't work either?
ssh stands for secure shell.
i typed wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - into console

How can I tell Nautilus _not_ to abbreviate files sizes?
probably something in gconf
well i typed wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - into the console
Jordan_U, ??
what do you mean?
then sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
???
ssh isnt a shell btw?
then the sudo install wine line
niuq, well, not really, most ftp's don't want you sucking all their bandwidth...
close Any other package managers you have open (synaptic, update-manager, etc)
n2diy, It is! sudo apt-get install refit
niuq, so you upload one at a time, it takes forever yes...
got it working i think
more than forever actually...
niuq, but at least it gets through
gconf, for modifying what nautilus shows you for file sizes. It might be in there (I dont know), but if it is, that'd most likely be where.
niuq, you hosting alot of big files or something?
noup, pure pictures, and some swf, but nothing big
perhaps you can get a more definitive answer from a gnome or nautilus channel.
Ah, ok, thanks, info overload here.
install `gconf-editor` and it'll drag in the other packages you need.
sounds like your host is stingy
anyone know where I can find drivers for a radeon 7500? I can only get it to work in vesa mode
if its the same partition and the fstab has it 'mounted' as swap, why is it not showing up? I shouldnt have to mkswap should i?
niuq, also note, your upload speed...
Whack, the standard ati drivers should work for it, with 3D
you do. Follow all (four minus one) instructions in that guide.
my splash screen hangs on boot up, how do i find out what's causing it?
the biggest is about 120 kb
niuq, what is your upload?
Whack, the open source ones
I opened #nautilus, and I've been the only user there for three days.
the ones from ATI?
bryan, sudo apt-get install refit
Whack, no
at GRUB, hit 'e' and then remove the 'quiet splash' from the line, and then boot with it. You'll get all the details of your bootup.
Whack, built in ones
hey guys, trying to write a shell script... can i umount something if i know only to where it is mounted?
when appears transfer stalled, stop showing me the upload speed
need some advice from any lvm gurus
!anyone | dhamma
well, I installed ubuntu with a different video card - how can I change them?
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?
is it STILL stalling niuq ?
o_O
it's not on boot, it's after i log in
bryan, Then reboot, hopefully you will see a graphical boot device chooser ( not GRUB, you will be able to tell )
Im a bit mixed up. I've never made a swapfile before. Do i need to do it now?
Thanks, Gnome is dead, as is Nautilus.
yes it is
nm, got it
no. You're using a swap partition instead of a file. Ignore the first step of those four (you're not making a file, you're using a partition, and you've already done it), and then do the remaining three steps, modified appropriately to your partition path.
it get stalled for a while, then upload a part of the file then get stalled again .... and so on
they may be called something else, but i'm sure there are such channels. you may have to do a search for them
if there are drivers for the radeon 7500 built-in to ubunto, how I can I use them?
ah. Try, under session, try 'failsafe gnome' or 'safe gnome' or whatever its called on your version.
My CPR cert. is expired!
ok
i did the sudo apt-get install refit, but didnt work? asked if i was root, which i am
ahh., so sudo mkswap /dev/sda5
is that right?
niuq, I'd call the host up and be like HEY! your line keeps dropping my packets!
right.
bryan, That is strange
would be a expensive call lol
got it, its working
niuq, with someting like that, I would never blame my software, that sounds alot like their fault
bryan, Can you pastebin the output it gave?
i just added a reiserfs partition with data on it to my vg, doubling its size. i want to extend my lv to fill out the new capacity of the vg. i don't care about the existing data on the added reiserfs partition. i'm new to lvm, so i'm not sure if i can lvextend easily and whether or not the

Roger that, and I just realized I have #gnome shut off, but I asked there for days with no luck.
ok, refit installed

test
niuq, is it across the ocean?
but, where I can post the post the output? jusst to make sure?
bryan, OK, try rebooting with the OSX DVD in and don't hold anything
oh, ok
niuq, are you having trouble with ftp, like after a transfer, it stalls?
awesome! done! do i need to fix the fstab?
bryan, And if it works come back here if it's not to much trouble, I am curious
probably easiest to simply reformat the reiser partition to lvm type, and then you'll have two physical volumes, merged into one volume group
DraconPern, it stalls during I believe
okay, i have a question about triggering while loops in shell scrips, can anyone help?
sorry i cant phrase the question better
to add your new swap partition (and remove the old one, or just change the 3 to a 5, or whatever)
Hey guys
no dice. Its got a UUID entry. Can i just delete that and type /dev/sda5 instead?
anyone happen to know how to establish a SSH tunnel through a proxy that uses a non standard https port (8080)?
rabidweezle, niuq, fyi, I am using pair, and recently their ftp has been strange. I can upload 1 file, and then when it tries to do ls, it stalls.
yeah. Or you can get the new UUID.
i've already added the reiserfs partition using pvextend and it is recognized with pvdisplay

Hi I was having trouble moving files into my external HD so i installed the ntfs-3g pckg. now it's locked and i'm getting msg "cannot mount volume"
??
irc.gnome.org - #nautilus
Patrick2056, Did you install ntfs-config ?
there are suggestions for a forced mount but the terminal process didn't work and i don't have a /etc/fstab file, only ftsa
yes, installed ntfs config
what i was originally asking is whether using lvextend to allocate the unused pe of the added reiserfs partition automatically extends the ext3 filesystem or whether that was a separate step and whether or not it mattered that it already has a different filesystem written on it
roger that, how do I tell gnome-xchat to go to that server?
i selected "enable write support for external device" in the ntfs config app
not sure, i use gaim.
it isn't in the connect list? Roger on using gaim.
ah. Good question. I don't know. You might try #lvm if no one can answer that here
after typing that command, how do i enter the java channel..
is there a way to get a default install of ubuntu to use XFCE instead of GNOME?
How do I add servers to gnome-xchat?
sure. Get Xubuntu install disks
VERTiG0, its's called xubuntu
yeah, i'm already in there, but everyone is asleep apparently...oh well, i figured this was an issue better left for the forums...thanks anyway
VERTiG0, Yes, install the package xubuntu-desktop
dudaz "/msg identify PASSWORD" (you'll need to do this every connect, probably a way to have your IRC client do it auto) then /join #whateverchannel
Err, e
well, freenode does usually lull for a few hours right about now.
Err, Xchat-gnome?
n2diy, you should install xchat
yeah...well luckily this isn't a 911 emergency, so i can wait it out
as it is better
argg... I got the built-in ATI driver working, but the vsync is way off, picture is shifted like 300px left
as opposed to xchat-gnome?
jordan u, think i should just reinstall and reformat?
haha. stupid question, i guess. thanks guys
n2diy, yes
try ntfs-3g again
there are no stupid questions
Oh, but wait - would Xubuntu run better on, say, a P3 933 with 384MB RAM than standard Ubuntu?
only stupid people
VERTiG0, it would yes
i notice that from time to time the CPU will spike to 100% for over 30 seconds for no reason while using ubuntu with gnome
click on Xchat, then Networks, then press the "Add" button.
Ubuntu should run fine on that, but yeah, Xubuntu is more lightweight, as such, it performs better.
Patrick2056, You might be having problems because your NTFS partition is corrupted, try fixing it in windows
is there anywhere I can adjust vsync without having to edit xorg.conf and reboot each time?
xubuntu will run better on virtually any hardware as would anything which is lightweight
somewhat sluggish performance at time with it as well
Ok, thanks, I _thougt_ I was done installing stuff?!
thanks bruenig and Flannel!
help... after i put ubuntu live cd and now i reboot but it won't get into vista now.. why?
time to blow another disc on xubuntu
are there any good hard drive programs for ubuntu, iubuntu seems to not find my drive, the bios see's it
lol, i accidentally didn't leave a windows partition when I was messing round with this new cpu
Whack, You don't need to reboot, just restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace
Patrick2056, Well there's your problem
i wana go to my windows
newuser, you took the CD out, right?

yes
vertigo, yes
hi
you didn't double click the install icon on the desktop while you were using the livecd, did you?
vertigo, but it said no operating system
whoa.
it's got to be an admin thing b/c before it showed the files and rendered them fine, just no moving files from here to there
you uh
vertigo, i did
probably somehow nuked your vista installation
I have PIII 866 should I install Kubuntu, Ubuntu or Xubuntu?
hah.
yeah
you wiped out your vista install.
any you like
vertigo, man...................................................................................
what're the URLs for Ubuntu's Universe and Multiverse repos?
really???
yknott, and speed like?
newuser, sure sounds like it
yknott, I mean Kubuntu is heavier right?
same as the other ones. Just with "universe" and/or "multiverse" instead of "main" or "restricted"
when you went through the Ubuntu install, what options did you choose?
yep vista be gone
Software Sources
i do not find it so, but i switch from xfce to kde and back
all the help sites on the topic seem to give instructions, not URLs
Ubuntu and Kubuntu are comperable (more or less). Xubuntu is more lightweight.
bUbuntu and Kubuntu are comperable (more or less). Xubuntu is more lightweight./b
sorry, i'm not actually in ubuntu
such as?
i'm in Mandriva
newuser what kind of PC is it
Kubuntu it is then
that's because there's no "set" URLs, theyre just ... oh.

is it something you bought at a store, like an HP or something?
!easysource | yadra
source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
yadra, You cannot use Ubuntu packages in Mandrivia
'cause hopefully you've got the restore discs if that's the case, or a copy of vista kicking around you can reinstall with
i installed apt and synaptic though
yadra, They are not compatible
That means you can use deb packages, but Ubuntu's deb packages aren't necessarily binary compatable with Mandriva
interesting
yadra, Just like you can't install debian repos in Ubuntu
Debian and Ubuntu aren't necessarily binary compatable either.
mmm
hey is there somewhere where i can find out exactly what programs are on the feisty live cd?
same format, but since the packages are named differently (and other things), theyre not "the same"
so, holding "T"
dbzdeath[lappy]: i386? or what arch?
is fluxbox even lighter than XFCE?
did nothing
neither did refit
i386
what do you mean they aren't compatible?
dbzdeath[lappy], run dpkg -l from a liveCD
dbzdeath[lappy]: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.manifest
thanks Flannel
and thanks Jordan_U
dbzdeath[lappy]: the manifest files are what's "in" the liveCD image, the list files are the fiels on the CD (as files, like the small repository)
bryan, Is there an Apple store near you?
yeah, I made an appointment for tomorrow
in other words some of those files i will need to run apt-get install package?
build-essential, for instance, isnt in the manifest, because it's not in the image, just on the CD.
I just was really hoping to avoid it\
thanks ubotu, http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ is exactly what i needed, though you're a bot aren't you? LOL
dbzdeath[lappy]: no. Everything in the MANIFEST java host is compiled/built/whatever in to the Live environment. However there's some stuff on the CD that isn't in the live environment
ahh... specifically i'm looking for hostap-utils
that's the stuff listed in the .list file (same place, different file, just change the extension)
Hey peeps. What's the menu location for 'special effects' (beryl)? Helping a friend on the phone...
dbzdeath[lappy]: hostap-utils is in universe, and as such, wouldn't be on the CD.
hm..
after installing automatix that is...
bryan, Ahh, it seems you need to have an HFS+ partition to use rEFIt
!automatix | gyaresu__
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
gyaresu__, that's compiz, not beryl
Thanks for the obvious.
systempreferencesdesktop effects
Thank you.
I'm having some graphics issues, when I start up I just get a blank black screen. Started happening when I enabled my graphics card drivers. I can't use the GUI... Just wondering if anyone could help me either disable my drivers and get in or possibly update them from outside the
GUI?
would you happen to know the amount of size i can use for installing stuff?
don't use automatix. Tell your friend (if it's a fresh install) that he should go ahead and reinstall, (and lose nothing but time) rather than having to later (and lose data and even more time)
gyaresu__, Read the entire message from ubotu
dbzdeath[lappy]: What do you mean? size for what?
well there has to be a limit to the amount of space that can be held in ram
I did. He doesn't care. He just wants to quickly see ubuntu with all the non-free progs... WinXP gut.
s/gut/guy
try booting into text mode.
gyaresu__, so you're going to show him how well ubuntu breaks when you use automatix?
n2diy And then?
How do I boot to text mode?
dbzdeath[lappy]: ah. Well, that'd depend on the size of your RAM. And, I really don't know how much memory the liveCD takes. But it's not a whole lot. You hsould be able to sneakernet in hostap-utils without any issues.
Yes.
(I'm new, sorry .)
even if i had 256m?
Re-state your problem.
*sigh*
seems youre right!
Is there nothing I can do to get OSX back on my Macbook
cool unrar works
seems like it shouldnt be so hard as it is!
You should have boot options at the boot screen.
press ctrl+alt+f1
Well, it was all working properly, but then I went into the destop effects and it asked me to enable my graphics card drivers, so I did so, then after a restart all I get is a black screen, nothing appears onscreen.
dbzdeath[lappy]: Yeah. I think you'll be ok. Might be a little sluggish at times. I really don't know how much it uses (well, except the installer needs 192MB, and that includes the Live environment). I haven't used a liveCD in years.
then ctrl+alt+f7 (or f8) to get back to X
for using hostap all i would need is hostap-utils right? the rest should be in the modules?
bryan, It seems to be a firmware problem, and despite what the people at Apple might tell you, I don't think that Ubuntu can cause the problems you are having
I'm using irssi under screen on urxvt from fluxbox. He is a supernerd who just wanted to see if linux had got to the point and click stage.
bryan, And it's sort of a catch 22 because you need OSX to fix the firmware
salam
so you could, in the terminal (text mode), reconfigure your xserver, if that is what you need sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
bryan, But I really recommend keeping OSx and dual booting, even if you don't use it ( next time you install ) if nothing else than for firmware updates that can only be installed through software update
dbzdeath[lappy]: I'm not sure. Lets take a look, (I'm looking here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/hostap-utils) it's only dependency is libc6, which will already be there. So yeah, you only need that package. (you can
download it from that site too, the table at the bottom, pick your arch)
yeah i already got it from a close mirror thanks anyways
dbzdeath[lappy]: Also, if you have internet in the live environment, you can install it normally (thorugh apt-get). I dont know if you need hostap-utils to get internet (I assumed yes)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-520vE1 if you're curious i'm trying to get that going but i'm talking a friend through it remotely who only has a wireless connection
dbzdeath[lappy]: Right. Sneakernet is the way to go.
i have no idea what you mean by "Sneakernet"
thats the funny part, Im an OSX user, and secure linux web hosting is only used for messing around, and I always use it in Parallels, but a friend did a hard istall on my MB, (it was my bday, kind of a joke, we didnt expect this!!) so, i guess Im screwed
for my deadlines tomorrow haha
rum and coke, here I come geez, 322am!
how to create a CD repository for an installer?
dbzdeath[lappy]: Put [file] on [physical medium], and use your shoes (sneakers) to move it to the machine. USB drive is usually easiest
yeah or grab it from a windows partition
dbzdeath[lappy], https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-520vE1 is very out of date
i'm aware but there is nothing else i can find
and the device doesn't work out of the box
in windows it says revision E and not E1 .. so i'm not exactly sure if it's even relevant
what are you trying to do ultimately? roll your own install CD?
they may be different
dividebyzerodeath[lappy]: had you tried the wrapper?
dbzdeath[lappy], What does it show up as in "lspci" ? That might be better info to google with
its like i want to install a big program that required some packages in the internet.. and im not always offline..
but i suspect it may be good to investigate the logs to find out what went wrong; look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
it's been kinda hard to get info back and forth considering so i haven't got her to get that info as she has to literally write it down

ops sorry
how should i do that in order to make it default installation/
What do you mean? You want to make a CD that comes with the stuff installed?
i want to burn cd of all the program and packages needed
Right. Apt-On-CDwill do that, then you just pop the CD in, and it'll act like a repository, which you can then install stuff from
just liek you're using the internet, only you're using a CD
yah but is there a system of arrangement of burning those packages in the cd?
hey i need help with something
trisha, Yes, aptonCD deals with that
use aptOnCD (it's a program). It automates the process.
with wine
is there a wine irc
#winehq
thanx
is that a terminal command or i still have to apt-get that command
no one is replying
?
can u guys help me then
it's a program. I have no idea how you use it. Hmm, looks like it's a GUI. And actually, it's in the repositories. `sudo apt-get install aptoncd` and you'll have it. (it's in universe)

Apparently, I have to 'comment out' two lines of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in order to get my wireless card recognized. I'm new to Linux, I have no clue how I go about this. The file itself is read-only, so I can't just delete the lines..any help? Also, isn't 'root' the super-admin user? I
don't know what password goes with root- I just installed Fiesty 7.04..
i am having problems running audio problems simultaneously
such as rhythmbox and sauerbraten
any good reason why filesystem of linux dont need to defrag
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, add # the beginnings of lines to comment them out, then save
cant anybody help me please????
Thanks so much, ostannar1. Is this password required?
you need a password to access it as root, so yes
root pass should probable y be tha same as your normal user one
knoe, Just booting the LiveCD doesn't do anything permanent to your PC, what did you do exactly?
Thanks! I have to reboot into Ubuntu, so I'll report success or failure later.
Passa, Does sauerbraten use OSS?
yep
well it seems to clash with rhythmbox anyway

defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.

today I booted my ubuntu 7.04 and after trying to login, it gave an error about immediately closing (within 10 seconds). After hitting ctrl+alt+backspace I could log in, but nowsome things are weird. For instance, there are no icons in the main menu and the buttons (to close, maximize, etc.)
on windows are not at the side of the bar, but are more to the left... any ideas what went...
...wrong and how to fix it?

any one in here ?
no

GDM (The GNOME Display Manager) is not running.
so how to run the gnome dp manager instead that of kde
lol sorry man im a noob
:s
there are some good support guys here u just gota wait for them to aswer your question tho
is there a "dhcp" option in ifconfig? or should i use something else?
what do you want to do w/ dhcp?
can anyone help me get sound to work with multiple programs using OSS sound?
Passa, OSS can't work with multiple programs unless your sound card has a hardware mixer. You will have to rely on a software mixer otherwise.
do you want your network interface to be a client? or something else?
What is the space called that contains the application name and window-buttons?
yes. a client
are you using alsa's oss emulation by any chance?
and not actually oss
i want that its ip is dinamically assigned by the dhcp server
you can then use dhclient, try: sudo dhclient network interface
(i have a router)
ok, but is it possible to do the same with ifconfig?
no idea dbzdeath[lappy]
as far as I know, ifconfig won't do dhcp
paolo, either you use the network manager and can set up dynamic assignment DHCP for the interface or you edit /etc/network/interface and put auto to the parameters for that interface.
ok thnks plebian
are you using what is default for ubuntu?
i don't want to use neither guis, nor config files
paolo running dhclient then
Passa, what audio application that use OSS are you requiering to run togather?
http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26233/
Passa, either way if its for things like TeamSpeak (OSS only) or Enemy Territory OSS only or Skype or things like that, you can use esdsp or artsdsp or aoss to provide virtual OSS DSP interfaces for these programs to run togather.
hi
xfig pictures are rotated of 90 degrees...
anyone can help me ?
http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26233/
Is it possible to include another file in the fstab file ?
Xsylotte, version conflicts mostly relate to repository out of sync or outdated tier repos not updated
is there any command to include sth. ?
so i need to wait..
any other statistical package for amd64 feisty ?
zoosh, no, just copy all the text you want into fstab
Zoosh, You don't include files in fstab, you include information about partitions and how you want them mounted
Xsylotte, you can try other repos. Region specific repos may be out of sync some times
hm yes.. but it would be much easier (in my case), if it is possible to include a file with the fstab information
uhm yes.. but it would be much easier (in my case), if it is possible to include a file with the fstab information /u
zoosh why don't you just put the info directly into fstab?
because i have some "basic mounts" and some, which are created by a script from time to time... i want to seperate them
Zoosh, Just put a comment between them
same, r-base is 2.5, but r-core is 2.4
hehe okay... so i will try to get all the information in the fstab file
thanks for your help
Xsylotte, I just installed r-base successfully, on x86 though
Xsylotte, worked here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26234/
which repo ?
fr
custom french repos from free.fr mirror
can you give me specific url for that repo ?
Xsylotte, I'll paste my sources.list if that help you
I have ubuntu installed on my laptop and after I installed Windows the boot program grub was replaced by the windows boot loader . How can I reactiveate grub ? (I am booting with other linux distribution)
Xsylotte, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26235/
!grub | Devyll
grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
sometimes i hate because i have amd64...grr
lack of 64bit support
Xsylotte, You might want to check if there is a bug on launchpad, and if not file one yourself
i have to learn for my exam
i need some statistical software
leagris, i couldnt find any of the packages you mentioned
Xsylotte, that's why I installed 32bit ubuntu despite my CPU is AMD64
and yes, what you were saying was what i was after
is there some difference ?
i mean..in speed, stability etc etc..
Xsylotte, much less trouble, and like between 5% and 10% speed difference overall
hmmm...
and then i always choose x86 packages?
Passa, what application are you trying to run with oss?
sauerbraten and rhythmbox for the moment, but i need stuff like enemy territory with teamspeak etc as well
Xsylotte, speed 5% to 10% less than 64bit. Reliability same, less trouble with 32bit only binaries like flashplayer and more support.
umm
nice
Passa, Have you tried aoss ?
Jordan_U .. "find /boot/grub/stage1" outputs "error 15: file not found"
Passa, a script I made to launch enemy-territory with oss http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26236/
just one more question, if i install x86 ubuntu, then i choose x86 packages...right ?
Xsylotte, that's the default, x86 repos are used
good
Jordan_U, how do i get aoss?
brb...reinstalling file system
hihihihi
leagris, but what about for sauerbraten etc?
Passa, sudo apt-get install alsaplayer-oss
Passa, you can guess how to launch sauerbraten with artsdsp from my script
Passa, Just run "aoss command" to run something with aoss
f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRIV (ICH6 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03)." Where is explained what domain=0000
Passa, as for using TeamSpeak, I plugged a pair of USB headphone because it load a separate hardware DSP from the USB stick and is much less trouble than software mixing sound espetially in CPU heavy game like World Of Warcraft though wine or cedega
how can i save the new network configuration (done with ifconfig)?
you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
hello peeps
Jordan_U, aoss, artsd, esdsp are software mixers. Sometimes it is quite difficult to find proper settings for lattency, buffer... to have clean non laggy sound in games
is there a way to do it without editing the file?
systemadministrationnetworking
and without using a gui?
not that i know of
I still have network problems. I talked yesterday already in this channel about it. I have to integrated chips on my mobo and when I boot 50% chance that it malfunctions. If that happens I need to switch the cable to the other ethernet port
ok thnks ostannar1. and how can i stop/restart network services?
I tried setting a static static ip hosting which worked for one day
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces lets you edit it in a text editor
but today it no longer works
and I had to switch again
/etc/init.d/service name stat/stop/restat
what's "name" for
?
ethx ?
"service name"should be only one word, sorry
Surkow, look like a network device driver and interface name random assignment.
you think it is?
I tried lots of things already...should I just disable one device in the bios?
Surkow, it may, and assigning interface name at boot may help
interface name? you mean eth0 and eth1?
i connected a USB cabinet w/ harddrive to a ubuntu server before i left home
whats the first thing i wanna do in order to check if the system sees it?
can't remember the details, but i think that you need to do something with udev config files
Surkow, yes
to tell udev what bus address should get what interface
is there any cd/dvd burner for amd64 feisty ? (i can't set up burning speed with default one)
ok I will look into the udev stuff
is there a tutorial showing how to do remote desktop over a network?
can you do remote desktop over anything other than a network?
ok thnks for your support
Surkow, there is a file for that but forgot the name
??
/etc/udev/udev.conf ?
please any ftp? no commandline ftps or gFTP
nothing.

wtf
ah I found a dir with rules in the udev dir...let me see ostannar1 ..
aa^way, ncftp, lftp
Jordan_U, leagris, even after i close rhythmbox i dont get audio back in games
and how can i set a gateway for eth0 ?
hey I got some question, I'm pretty new to ubuntu
brimu, Ask and you shall receive... an answer
goodmorning guys, everytime i want to start a connection ssh/https it takes about 5 seconds to start the connection, could anyone tell me where i could start debugging this ?
ping reply looks fine
I'm trying to back up data on a mounted disk, but I don't seem to be the owner and therefore don't have write access
brimu, Do you know about sudo and / or is this an NTFS formatted drive?

yes I know a bit about sudo and it is an NTFS mounted disk

must ubuntu be installed in order for it to work?
cuz right now it's running off the RAM
brimu, You can install it on a liveCD session if that is what you mean
brimu, Yes
brimu, Yes you can use it from the liveCD that is, bad wording
do I need to install anything to enable fluxbox-generate_menu, as I got command not found after install fluxbox. ?
hehe, ok let's get this started then
no one can help me?
!defrag | Passa
i want to see the defrag thing again
silly xchat
Passa, You don't need to defrag, but if you must then install the package "defrag" read the warnings in the man page though
ah ok
what about my sound problem? i havent gotten audio back but i closed rhythmbox
it makes no sense?
you don't defrag fedora linux lol
those who defrag are not running GNU/Linux systems
you are mistaken
wols, I'll rephrase
those who defrag are mostly not running GNU/Linux systems
dunb
dumb
in 10 years since my first install I never defragged ....
almot any linux fs has a defrag program. and in the age of bittorrent it's needed
11 yrs never
and I used union fs before that ... (freebsd) ...
_ADaRKnInJA, Yes, there are many ways of doing that, you can either install from some other media or use the *beta* windows installer wubi
no and certainly not on a journal system
why not?
!wubi | _ADaRKnInJA
wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
what has journalling to do with fragmentation?
that is the point of a journal system it catalogues it
huh?
insmod, !? what are you saying?
wols, http://www.linuxjournal.com/articles/lj/0105/6268/6268s1.html
so you mean my ext2 has no "catalog"?
hey jordan
brimu, Hi
ok so i have had xununtu on 1 of my rigs i got from my sister ..she got it from wally world it is/was a ol HP craper but any how i was goint to put reg ol ubuntu on it and now it wont read live cds or even winblowz i haved tryed every thing any ideads...i think its hardware
can someone help me out?
the filsytem handels the defragmentation an logs it
I know what a journalling fs is, but not how it relates to fragmentation
the package for ntfs-config couldn't be found
_ADaRKnInJA, Look at the link from ubotu, and stop commenting using /me
i am running reisty
error: Please install Xmu libs
feisty
is xfs a jorunalling fs in your book?
and i did sudo apt-get install xmu-headers
brimu, Enable universe
what's the problem?
wolsnever used it sorry
how do i do that?
do you know what spare files are?
Software Sources
erm, sparse files
when i boot it gos strait in to xubuntu
in what way
gotcha
ciao bella
i haved checked my cd-rom drives
put a bunch of dif drives in
sparse files. look it up, it's quite a common term
don't care really
and the log of a journalled fs has nothing to so with fragmentation at all
we are beatiful
journalling only means the fs is always in a defined state and never "corrupts"
alright, it's going well now jordan
in the 11 yrs i have used linux -- it doesn't get fragmented
in the 11 yrs i have used linux -- it doesn't get fragmented
so any ways thanks noone for the input its kool i figure it out...been reading linux in a nutshell
any filesystem gets fragement if it's around 95% full. all of them. with bittorrent's swarm downloading this happens quite fast even
you are misguided in your term -- i know there is a prog to do it but no one does
some fs do an automatic defrag as part of the fs, but that's all you can do when it happens
sorry no
read about it
it is a win thing and win people seem to need it
sorry about your loss
you are mistkan. I told you when it happens
jordan, i still don't have write access
i checked "Enable write support for external devices"
i have searched my solaris my aix my bsd and no defrag
what ever man
whatever gets you through the day
_ADaRKnInJA, ubotu is a bot
irc.freenode.org:6667 #linpeople #debian #gentoo #redhat #suse
hehe :-))
than answer you, please, OMPAUL
Jordan_U, you still there?
brimu, Yes
i checked "Enable write support for external devices" but I still don't have write access
fragmentation can happen on unix systems too
as wols said, when you get your disk too full
What is different between aptitude and apt-get?
usually over 80%, but it will warn you if you get over 95%
http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html ???
_ADaRKnInJA, Ubuntu is an operating system, and it has 20,000 packages / programs or there abouts available, this wubi is a program for Windows, it is not
_ADaRKnInJA, so it is not Ubuntu
ompaul, Actually, wubi installs Ubuntu
ext defaults to reserving 5% to handle frag, and that's enough
Jordan_U, it is not ubuntu - it is an installer
yeah
ompaul, Semantics
Jordan_U, you are talking to a pedant ;-)
!ati
To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
Jordan_U, not a very good one, but one none the less
in 11 yrs never has tat happened
ok, if it is an installer, it remains that I need to install AFTER it wubi, the UBUNTU ?
jordon_U, looks like first unmounting them and using the config tools worked
why isn't my frostwire work with my wireless kb????/
bharat862004, did you get an ati card?
thanks for you help
working
no
and no it cant on a journal system
it working on irc right now
completely unrelated issues - it's either your network or it's frostwire
no not yet
firewall?
bharat862004, you're still planning on it?
no
Frogzoo, wtf?????
i already have nvdia fx 5200 card... i thought of upgrading...
i love it
using that card from past 6 months
Does ubuntu 7.04 (the server edition) have any ftp client installed by default?
me too but cant play heavy games on it poor me
does frostwire show your connection as firewalled?
heya
wget
i don't do games lol
Frogzoo, no
ftp server*
god damnit :P
Frogzoo, wireless keyboard
are you using sun's java?
why isn't my frostwire work with my wireless keyboard
which card and model no u have ??
can anyone explain how the system-preferences-network proxy works?
bharat862004, I have an old ati radeon 7500 (which uses different drivers from new ati cards)
it's working great but I have a problem: when I run ubuntu and also my usb webcam it's plugged, tvtime software try to open the webcam and not the tv card, and so to run correcly the pci tv card, first I must unplug my usb webcam, after run ubuntu, and then i can use correctly tvtime with my
pci tv card
it points to your lan's web proxy
how is that running ?
bharat862004, great
i want to set a proxy for the whole system
but it's using the open source driver, not the official proprietary ati driver
what's to know? if you use a proxy, you configure it
what is the way to extrac all login system acces?
if you want to do 3D stuff under linux, don't get an ati
different ati cards have different drivers ????
i want to use proxy with programs that dont have such options
that is wat crdlb said me
i thought i can do that with that option
ati doesn't support cards older tzhan radeon 9500 anymore
which means you have to use an open source driver for them which is less optimized
what u mean by using open source driver ??? and not ati drivers ??
bwhat u mean by using open source driver ??? and not ati drivers ??/b
wols, the open source driver is much better
even if it's slower
can i?
no. it's sloewr usually. even if it's probably much more stable
how can i do to write that tv time must use first the pci tv card?
wols, true, but it also support AIGLX
crdlb but ati cards always support better pixel shaders and latest technology then the nvidia card....
wubi is a windows program that installs ubuntu for you
just make sure you load the driver for the pci card before the webcam ones. e.g. /etc/modutils/
doh. /etc/modules
not like that, no
wrong
any way to that?
iptables?
ok thanks i'll try now
that is why i was going for ati graphics card ... already searched lot on net
bharat862004, the proprietary ati drivers are so terrible that if you tested equal nvidia and ati cards on linux, the ati card would be 50% slower
u r wrong dude
it took for example ati half a year longer to get pixelshader 4.0. their cards are just now showing up
it took for example ati half a year longer to get pixelshader 4.0. their cards are just now showing up
also, pixelshader 3.0 and the x800 series was the same story afaik
crdlb even the lower version of ati graphics support technology which are suppoorted by nvidia latest graphics card
maybe, with some fiddling, you might use iptables to redirect to a proxying application on the box
did lot of research on it
what version? no current at card except the vrey entry ones comparab le to your fx5200 support aiglx btw
thanks
if you did research you can cite refrences. where are they?
Are there an expert of UBUNTU ... ONLINE, just now ?
!ask | _ADaRKnInJA
Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question
no experts here, 1000 noobs though
I´ve made the questions, And none answers :-))
i googled many many sites including nvidia and ati... and compared different card and different card versoin with different technologies released by both the company and i had thought of buying ati x1600 which was in my budget but crdlb told dont buy ati so dropped the idea of buying the ati
card...
people already answered you several times. they can't help it if you are unable to understand
_ADaRKnInJA, Then nobody knows
read the above lines
how much does a x1600 cost where you are?
india
that is no reference. it's no argument
i know that but i googled and asked a lot in forums... and nearby dealers man... i know their cant be proper argument without proof
bharat862004, Good, you saved yourself a lot of trouble
ok, another misunderstood answer, with none about I invited ....
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/05/04/ati_confirms_no_shader_3/ for example
I haven't seen your question. What was it?
i am not sure about that yet
please SCROLL UP
also the gf8800 DirectX10 cards (pixelshader 4.0) came out last november. ati directx10 cards came out this month. they are showing up in retail the last few days
how do i copy the DVD in my disc-drive to my hard drive?

For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in

on 2nd thoughts, you really want to use dd, not cat
_ADaRKnInJA, Yes
Yeah, cat can work. I forgot to put cat in the command though
I must do that ubuntu first run the tv card and after the webcam
_ADaRKnInJA, Why do you comment with /me ?
releasing date dont affect the issue
and you said ati always had the better tech, which is just not true
now it's the reverse and tv time try to open the webcam first
why not? last christmas there was no DX10 card from ati but there was from nvidia for example.
/home/me/file.iso
the problem with ATI people is that they never show off like Nvidia people... less publicity for ati cards
wrong. back when the ati radeon9700 was around and nvidia came out with the fx cards (one of those you have), then ati was MUCH, much better. sometimes one is in front sometimes the other
is there a tutorial showing how to do remote desktop over a network between 2 ubuntu computers?
what alswas was the same however is that ati's driver was worse. especially under linux and opengl
"QApplication::notify: Unexpected null receiver". How can I solve this?
rdp | Sepero
don't run it from the command line
bluebanana, There is no argument about ATI's Linux support, it is so poor that I can guarantee you that any ATI card that performs the same on windows as an nvidia card will be absolutely dwarfed by the same nvidia card when both are being run from Linux
ati cards are good........ but only the drivers $ucks... when proper drivers are ready.... they will kick nvidia A$$
unfortunately there never was a proper ati driver... especially not for linux
not ever
bharat862004 u r an indian right
Jordan_U, you meant to get bharat862004 's attention, not mine, on ATI
has anyone used the newest open source ati drivers?
yes he's on me
