MrMe01, Wait for the kernel configuration part well not using genkernel
all

using the guide

lol @ usb dsl modem

is qtparted still inferior to gparted?

do ubuntu having any problem in installing on my laptop??

i remember those things, what a pain to get working in linux

du

r00t

I like making my own kernel :P

I must have miscommunicated my setup, as I am _not_ installing Linux on an IDE drive. It has been succesfully installed on my one SATA drive.

it depends on the laptop

r00tintheb0x, cable select is not good

thats fun, I think

is there a way to force eject a cd from terminal?

dont get to do it usually

what kind of laptop, and do you have an ati card?

r00tintheb0x, there are times it causes issues of strange natures

premier_ any particular reason? i am having compaq

ooooooh phresh_ i was thinking your master hard drive was ide.

its called a paperclip

hi MacDrunk
ompaul, okay.

sup dude so 10 years on the linux host world?

premier_ i am having latest compaq laptop and yes i do have ati card

It is. It is, however, _entirely_ dedicated to my Windows installation.

its called a paperclip

phresh_, you installed Ubuntu on what drive?

#pardus

or something thin and long

different laptops have different issues... I don't know much about compaq, but there are some issues with new ati cards

1st chan of the PCI IDE controller?

premier_ is it the problem of nvedia?

mr happy

which ati card is it?

mr happy?

I installed it on /dev/sdc3 -- the third partition on my sole SATA drive.

nvidia is usually pretty good, i hear

hello

I have 4 HDs in this machine.

okay

cat /etc/init.d/R

i have a enpower laptop

oops....wrong window :-X

premier_ thanks for the info .. i guess i have to take my laptop to my manufacturer

older than me
jajajaj

phresh_, all i can really think of is taking the PCI IDE controller out for testing purposes.
Then if it works, maybe you can throw a "noprobe" command at grub
or whatever itis

prmier_ while running the live cd it says some faliure on nvedia.. is it the problem?

where should I place a .desktop file, to make the icon appear on the desktop of every user?

what do i do if ubuntu does not support my grafic card? (Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT)

Hylk0r, /etc/skel

r00tintheb0x, for some reason beepmediaplayer works but rhythmbox does not. I am checking out YouTube and the videos on it sound so faint compared to other programs. This is hardly equaling them out.

is xchat free on linux boxes?

This is lame.

ok, thanks

OmniD, changed devices in your mixer.

Hylk0r, /etc/skel

sure thing Hylk0r

???

Okay, I'll call that "plan B" then because it is prohibitive to pull the machine apart and remove that card. I will give another distro a shot first and if that doesn't work I'll try that.

OmniD, nothing good comes easily.

hey root any good pdf book on ubuntu?

I appreciate the time you've spent troubleshooting this hair-pullingly frustrating issue with me!

hmm... ok phresh no problem.

i guess its too much technical.. ok thanks again.. let me see what i can do my best..

Sorry i couldn't think of anything else.

xchat is free on windows and mac boxes too

OmniD, inside beep what sound card hardware do you have selected?

you sure?

is anyone able here to help me a little bit?

lemme check

its so free they give away copies of the source code ;

hi guys.

Hello sobersabre.

ALSA 0.9.7 r00tintheb0x

well, my card is not supported by ubuntu apparantly, which is Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT, who can help me with it? ((if anything can be done at all))

no hardware.

http://xchat.org/windows/#register

Do you see a little speaker down by the time OmniD ?

I have a question. there's laptop. It connects at home via a constant wifi network, and at work via dhcp and establishes an l2tp session to connect to the internet. I want to get to fully automated situation, so user doesn't have to click anything or something with GUI to detect: we're home, we're at work. What is the way to do this ?
the user is my mom.
it has feisty.

GCC will not compile on my box, How can I get it to work, I have tryed to reinstall gcc with the sudo comand and the add/remove

Pheanix, "aptitude install build-essential"

its not free?!!

oops

r00tintheb0x, yes

http://66.190.88.237

thats crazy.

I changed it to ALSA a while ago

Pheanix, "suoo aptitude -y install build-essential"

can someone go to that link
and tell me what they see

OmniD, double click it
then go to the 1st menu you can pull down.
and change the hardware device.

hi

I thought of using the syste-adiministration-network and create 2 profiles.
any ideas ?

cot

sobersabre, i dont get it.

Rootinthebox Thank you.

no problem Pheanix

anyone know of a way to make azureus shutdown when xfers are comlete?

Sound mixers are a huge pain

r00tinthebOx You Rock I tried for 4 hours last night... THANK YOU... you are awsome.

hello, is there a way in gparted to specify volume labels (names or whatever)?

It seems that both of the programs are using the PCM channel
And that's why Firefox is so faded out by comparison

`eric-, #azureus knows

what don't you get.... ask.

r00tintheb0x, nope I thought there already was an audio group

ok, here goes
i'll try install ubuntu on my pc now

hey i'm having a problem with my bluetooth dongle, i plug it in but nothing happnes, and my computer doesn't appear on as an active bluetooth device on my phone

WITHOUT anyone's help *you jerks @_@*

They are both using PCM, which also explains why when I turn the volume down on the program itself it turns down the volume for both programs r00tintheb0x

mirc is not free.

How odd.

sobersabre, i didnt see your whole post. Im sure there are scripts out there to do that... but i've never done it before.

yes
it its
you can make a donation if you whant

OmniD, you should use alsa

I AM

OmniD, what hardware mixers do you have?
PCM and Intel or something?

Just pulseaudio

hello, does anyone know an application to print posters with your A4 deskjet (multiple A4 pages)

okay

PCM and PCM

mIRC is shareware

this is why I am here. I have several directions to implement this thing with: I can detect which interface is up, and then enable it.

They are both occupying it

you must pay to use it

well yea
but i didnt
so

I have a "NetworkManager" I maybe can use

okay, you want to use pulseaudio... are all your volume levels turned up OmniD ?

for me is free
ok

that's because you are illigal

and I have "network profiles"

or you havent been using it for 30 days

nop

I messed around with the volume levels

sobersabre, cool

i have a visa
hahaha

I just read that /etc/skel should contain files, that should be copied after the user logged in for the first time

hey i'm having a problem with my bluetooth dongle, i plug it in but nothing happnes, and my computer doesn't appear on as an active bluetooth device on my phone

I want to use the most USABLE option so user

PCM is the only one aside from master of course that changes the volume and it affects both at the same time
both programs

correct Hylk0r

so, help me.

but I want to create a shortcut on every users desktop

root

Hylk0r, you'll have to copy the icon file to each users desktop.

what "scripts" are there around ?

yeah mac

man any good pdf ubuntu book

without making a file on every $HOME/Desktop dir
is there no other way?

MacDrunk, PM me

sobersabre, im having problems understanding you. Is english your 1st language?

Documentation

r00tintheb0x, any idea? :/

bitch x is A) console based and B)cygwin dependant!

shortcut is a file.

hi all

hey i'm having a problem with my bluetooth dongle, i plug it in but nothing happnes, and my computer doesn't appear on as an active bluetooth device on my phone

MrMe01, WRONG!
at least about #2

Okay I found a slight problem.... of the two commands that I need to have start at bootup, one needs to be root, the other needs /not/ to be root.... and the one that is root has to be run AFTER the other. Any thoughts on how I could handle that?

or B.

you will maybe automate it

https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html

who wants a console based irc client ?

Hylk0r, If there are a lot of users you can automate copying the .desktop file to all of the user's desktops

me

brbrb i saw a boot called ubuntu bible it is good

sudo?

tom_, use irssi

shush!

lol i do

your not supposed to say that!

use netcat.

MrMe01,

no ideas for the bluetooth problem ?

I thought there would be an easier way, because you can modify the menu of every user, by adding a file in only one directory, so I thought it would be the same for ~/Desktop

so how would I do it in the boot process though? sudo requires user interaction, is there a way to automate it?

MacDrunk, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
thats a good site.

I know enough then :-)

ok
yea i have read it
a bit

so ok, I am looking for a IRC client that is free, and has a gui

k1gwb, there is a way but I don't recommend it because of the security problems

There are hacks to automate it, but there is usually a better way to do it.

xchat and mIRC arent free

this is an ubuntu channel, we fix ubuntu problems not windows problems

xchat is
for linuc
*linux

Run the script as root, and use sudo to run as a normal user

for linux yeah

XChat-Gnome is

thats for gnome

narg, okay, how do I write the script? I don't know what the syntax would be

what OS are you running?

xp

MacDrunk, http://www.italovignoli.com/?p=47 (ubuntu bible) also http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/official/ http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/

why are you here?

!offtopic | MrMe01

#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

fine, I get the hint

I don't know what you want to do... the syntax to use sudo as another user is sudo -u user command

bye all
thanks for the help
nasty people

no
probs

'Default mixer track'?

I'd love to help you with Ubuntu

I want to make a very simple script in /etc/rc.local or whatever alternative location someone recommends, to make icecast2 and darkice startup at boot time, one as root, one as 'greg'...witht he one run as greg starting first, then subsequently, the one run as root. that's the goal.

look all I wanted was help and you shun me becasue I need to talk to you and I want a free client to do so

please stop trolling, we can't help you with windows problems.

it makes no sense asking for free irc clients for Windows on ubuntu

thanks

right. make a script that runs as root, do sudo -u greg icecast2 and then do icecast2 (or whatever)

bye all
I will keep this civil
and I am not trolling

then you fail

okay thanks....I'll try that! Sorry i needed it explained to the letter. I've been using ubuntu since 6.06 but still feel new

MrMe01, by the way Irc is free on windows aswell
i mean xchat

It's a very simple answer... XChat is available NATIVE to Ubuntu
And WinXP

that's what this channel is here for

yeah, I've found that, and it is very great. I can speak for all 'converts' in saying it doesn't go unappreciated, I think. I'm gonna write this lil file and reboot now. Thank you.

I have a big problem with mixers still and it's annoying. Why so hard to setup?
I think this is probably Ubuntu's biggest common flaw right now.

wait a sec
what problem exactly?
what mixer problem you're having?

Well the fact that I have to install one myself

agreed

and how is that a problem? in synaptic search for alsa mixer

lol i feel your pain man, sound is the number one problem with ubuntu atm

And then it gets all wonky and does stuff like this where the sound is all faded out in firefox and beep are both occupying the same sound port or whatever
It's all just a bit too complex for a common user

im running an audigy 4 with protools in ubuntustudio

hey can anybody help me i have a problen wityh bluetooth

seems to be working fine
and I am linux noob

Well that's an Audigy 4

wow you're not having problems, they mustn't exist

haha

not that, but I mean even with new hardware its working fine

Newer hardware I'm sure it's easier

i'll remember to answer peoples questions in here with that attitude

and another machine with an AWE32 working as well
dont blame the hardware.
just the user

umm... i'm blaming ubuntu not the hardware

Alsa has never been more compatible than ever.

alsa troubles?

who is talking about compatible, we're talking about software mixing

blame the manufacturer for not releasing the source for the kernel modules

so whats the problem if you search for the word "mixer" in synaptic and install it yourself.

what i'm saying is i *shouldn't have to*

seems no one knows about bluetooth here, thnkx anyway

HardDisk, blame the user? I've had this trouble the past 2 years. I think it's no small user problem for my case.

i put a cd in and i know it has data on it but i get 0bytes

how do I switch back to gcc-3.4?

this CD is the last disk in a game install using wine

what is the game?

phretor, try apt-get remove gcc
HL2

It might be hardware, but I think if it works fine with multiple programs in say windows it should work fine eventually in Ubuntu. So far I have to install and tweak mixers and it still doesn't work. This is my fault?

I mean, temporary switch

doesnt it have a native installer?
I would assume hardware, OmniD, I run bpmDJ and mixxx and in terms of splitting channels it's worked fine. Maybe you need to update your alsa drivers, there was a new beta release, very stable and very much different than the current

I will try that thanks

What stands 'lm' for iin the DEB program package 'lm-sensors'?

local monitor?

phretor, you mean whats causing the error? it askes for disk5. i do wine eject to get cd 4 out. i put cd5 in and click retry to load cd5 but it wont see it and keeps promting me for cd5. i did ls /media/cdrom0 and get blamk, nothing shows

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
The following packages cannot be authenticated! libopenal0a libalut0

did you try wiping the cd? maybe it's really dirty

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
The following packages cannot be authenticated! libopenal0a libalut0
why can't these packages be authentiated?

anyone know what would make my icon's totally shrink and lose their labels in gnome? I stretched the icons, but now there's no label.

HL2 works under cedega, that I know, whether it will work under wine I cannot say.

ahh, lm is a type of IC
i think

local monitor sensors does not yield any Google hits.

I just installed beryl, how do I run/use it?

run beryl-manager

hi, does anybody know an application to print several pages as 1 poster ?

add beryl-manager to startup prgs once ur conftable with it

the cd is not visably dirty

HardDisk, I don't have a "beryl-manager", but I do have "beryl-settings"

run beryl-manager from terminal

run #beryl-manager in command

that's what I'm doing... I only have beryl-settings
do I have to run this as root?

then you prolly didn't install it correctly..?

HardDisk, i am folowing that

I just installed "beryl" (and it dependencies) from the Synaptic Package Manger
Manager

k mrynit

well if u cant run that command then u didnt install the manager
check beryl-manager --version

HardDisk, it just wont load cd5

hmm

blackatron, I have no "beryl-manager" binary, at least no in my path.

install it gg

apt-get install beryl-manager

there we go...
cool, thank you... one last question... how do I add "beryl-manager" to the "startup programs" ?

anyone know how to restore my desktop icons to their normal size? They've totally shrunk and lost their label.

how to make virtual/aliases nic ?

heya perlmonkey

necro, right click and click resize

add beryl-manager to startup

if I start a browser up (firefox or epiphany) they do not appear on the desktop, yet the browser shows as a running process! grrrr any ideas?
heya

when I restore their size, they are super tiny.

blackatron, "add beryl-manager to startup" as a command?

why acpi suspend support wouldn't work on my thinkpad?

necro, then resize them again to normal size

and have no label
I did that, but they have no label.

how do i open rpm files?

im unable to kill processes
any ideas?

and what if you click restore icon size?

i dont use ubuntu or gnome so im not sure, but look through admin or prefernces shouls be somewhere saing startup programs

HardDisk, any clue about cd5?

alright, thanks (I guess I could always add it to .xinitrc anyway)

perlmonkey press ctrl+esc

when I click on restore icon size, they are super tiny and have no label.

yep

ah, now it works.
it does lack some usability

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Name_Sorting

HardDisk, well the installer says its not there but in file browser i can look at the disk and see nothing. i mean by that when i click on the cd icon i get no erro like there is no disc.

and Im assuming there is no other machine you can try to read the cd from?

Yes, the question I have is where/how to get the correct OpenGl thingies.
New to this OS and I must say less crashed than Windows but a bit harder to find stuff

Ehh..... Root, I did that link first, and it added my pass as "help". XD
how do I change it?
I just added a password.

which opengl thingies?

HardDisk, o yeah i could

OpenGL thingies..
do they still make thos?

My computer is running graphics quite slowly and when I tryed to open one of my games it said something about OpenGL not being published by Nvidia
Sorry, I am used to Windows so.....

one of the programs that is going to be removed because I am removing pulseradio is ubuntu-desktop... do I want this?

What files does the directory /etc/acpi/resume.d summarize?

ok.. so u have an nvidia card right?

This is in synaptic

are you doing homework?

Yes, a EVGA GeForce 8800. Quite annoyed really as it was expensive.

Please elaborate.

hey people, in Kubuntu I do extensive usage of ALT+F5 (list of widows), is possible to do the same on Ubuntu????

r4ge, they're actually working on a new version of openGL to be competitive with D3D10+

james1, wow nice

Thank you

ok.. the 8800 is a bit annoying to get working... a friend of mine has one.. but it does work
ok.. u need to get the nvidia drivers

I like OpenGL

brb

I have an 8899 GTS 320Mb up and running with direct 3D render ativated...

actually... ill get the website the howto is on

I believe I did download those off of the site, but it is still confusing. I am used to just clicking open and stuff installing.
Thank you.

ops 8800 XD

Source to work on WIne. Which I also have no idea how to work ^_^

Okay this is pretty serious. I am trying to remove pulseaudio from my system, but in synaptic when I choose to do so it says it wants to uninstall "ubuntu-desktop"!!

James1, you know how to get CS on linux?

!nvidia | James1 (did you have a look here already?)

James1 (did you have a look here already?): To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

Ok one sec.

here is an easy way to get the gfx-drivers working: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

Yes, I DID install it but it says it is not in use. I am going to go to the program where I encountered the error that caused me to come in here asking questions
Ok I will type in what it says.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/98641 look at the 4th post down

Vendor of GL driver is not NVidia, but vendor of GLX driver is. This may be caused by a wrong libGL.so library

si se supone que ya instalaslte los drivers de NVIDIA al reiniciar antes del logon donde pones usuario y contraseña sale el logo de NVIDIA muy rapido

Why does my Ubuntu "forget" my network settings everytime I reboot? I have to go to network settings and select the location everytime

si instalaste ya los controladorse
ops I forget it is in english ****

see how it needs u to replace a file

\join #django

if you do that it will probably work

Ok, I will try that.

i had to use that method to get it working.. i used the nvidia-glx-new drivers from the repo.. and used the nvidia file from this guide to fix them
dont forget to change the xorg.conf file

There is a pulseaudio program that keeps booting up at start, how can I stop it?

install an app called sysv-rc-conf.. run it as root and turn off the service

hah! fixed it.

It says that it cannot run it, when I type in the sudo sh nvidia-linux thing into the terminal

be careful.. it may be needed though
whats the error msg?

Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run-x
After you install something..... say graphics drivers you need to restart right?

no
you need to restart X though.

ok.. u need to type sh -x NVIDIA-Linux(rest of the driver name)

/etc/init.d/gdm restart

restart X?

HardDisk, u here?

or gdm James1

reboot
its easier

neonlinux, why does he need to reboot?

ctrl alt backspace?

ok be back in a minute

alt-ctrl-backspace
is easier
and login again

hello

yes.. ive done the restart x before.. it hung
reboot was easier

Okay, well its not "good unix practice" to reboot unless you absolutely have to.

yea.. i know... lol... its a good windows practice though

heh, we're not in #Windows :P

lol.. wha... u mean.. im in.. the ... wrong... place... opps *leaves quickly

lol
:d

heh

you restarted x once and it crashed.. so now you reboot everytime you make a change to xorg.conf?

besides.. they look so similar now lol
only when doing the major nvidia driver install thing
otherwise i usually restart x

YEAH
oops
yeah

is it possible to use vlc to play embedded streams in firefox?

actually.. i dont start x automagically now.. i run it from command

CC & GCC come installed by default in fiesty now?

and if it is, is there any guide on how to set it up?

anyone get vlc to work with beryl?

i know mplayer works for that sort of thing

foobar24, im not sure, check ubuntuguide.org

havent tried vlc
for that

i noticed gcc was there when i first loaded FF, but it thru out an error saying it couldnt compile hosting binaries

weird... i just compiled VMWare modules...

hi guys
I'm trying to get my powercolor ati x1300 to do all the nice 3d stuff

u mean games.. or beryl 3d stuff?

well games yes
and the 3d wobbly desktop beryl stuff

prolly

is it possible to partition my drive after an operating system is already on it?

hmm

how do i move one thing from desktop to /home/darksoul/ ?

ok.. i have the x1600 card.. and have installed the drivers.. i can play games like doom3 quake4 ut2007.. but ive not ever got beryl to work on my card

mo0osah, is is automatic if you use apt-get/synaptic/aptitude

I'll try installing nextuiz and see what happens

so have u installed the drivers?

but tbh it won't even do fglrx stuff
yeah-

r4ge, Jowi, I was just looking at aptitude and it wanted to remove something because dependeny was missing... there wasnt any option to rather install the missing dependency

and opengl works?

I've tried doing the automatic restricted driver install

i have a mobile x700 and it runs both xgl beryl (fglrx) and opensource ati drivers (aiglx) beryl no problems

java 1.4.2

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

lol

im in envy

i just ticked the box under restricted drivers
in the menu
XGL required a small script

yeah me too
and I've tied a manual install

it wont work with aiglx

i think beryl has issues with my machine..

but the info reported for fglrx is wronh
wrong- states it's using mesa

what does glxinfo spit out?

gls probably not working then

glxinfo and glxgears are usually the easiest way to test it

glxinfo and glxgears seem to work, although the gears slow down and stutter

how many fps?

r4ge what's are decent fps to run beryl

By default Gnome Search Tool starts searching in ~. How to change this to 'file system'?

well, i think i get about 5000fps in glxgears
and it runs fine on my machine

if its slow and stuttering on ur card the drivers probably arent installed properly

hi
ok

from memory i had glx gears working nicely on a geforce2

i'm getting ~ 1500

Geforce 7500 accelerated drivers?

Thats what I got with my old NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4400

I am inside a mint untu installation
don't know jack

mintuntu?
hmm...

yah, i think i used to get about 500fps on a tnt2 m64 years ago

I was getting 5000 @ the default glxgears window size.

extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

yeah, about 700 with full screen.

I wanna run beryl, I don't think the crappy nv driver supports it

ok.. follow the steps on this site to install the drivers https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

errrr... I have nvidia?

brb

mistermax, so you need to enable DRI in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

google your error messages!

aye - I'll try that, think I did before. ta for now

i entirely give up on ubuntu

any reason?

ati card?

good go try Gentoo, you might be happier there

igxmyzt, right.

lmfao

or as a last resource go vack to m$$$

igxmyzt, you learning linux host isnt going to happen in a day... or even a week.

tried to setup my new ati card for 3 days, it just wont take it. and then it messed up windows too
i like windows better. im a gamer.

how many times do i have to tell you how to fix it?

hey,i want to boot Ubuntu from live cd,but it doesn't work,when i reboot the pc and start ubuntu some things are loaded and in some moment reach "Starting enterprise volume management system" and begins giving some errors.Why?I have a 600mb on drive C:,is that a possible reason for these errors?

I've told you LITERALY 4 times.

im a gamer too... i like linux better

so what amma supposed to do with my stupendous GeForce 7500?

ahhhhh

messed up windows too?.... how is that possible?

I an gamer too I preger PSP XMB

it just wont fix. lspci said ATI Technologies Inc Unknown Device 7183

igxmyzt, i told you to use the flgrx driver.

That was a trip. First time I ever restarted and had to end up putting in the live disc .

Did you even try that?

i dont know, but windows failed to load on my gfx card that i was using last time i was on it

you might have to sell the ATI and get an NVIDIA

i can't open gedit

I did my research comparing both and Nvidia won out

nvidia sucks, they dont work on my pc

igxmyzt, why not?
No X server?

have u installed the drivers?

then your mobo sux

Hey rootinthebox is that guy still here?
neonlinux hello again

xorg wont load without me having a vid card setup

hi

JamesBlack182, what guy?

do I completely remove hard link files by deleting the source files? Do I need to delete the folders as well, my snapshot hd keeps getting maxed out and it happend after I deleted the hard linked daily snapshot files

hi

igxmyzt, are you DAFT?!
wth

I did my homework make sure I got everything Nvidia compatbile

i might be.

then use nano!!!!!

nano?

igxmyzt, the sad thing is... if i sshed into your box.

hiw can I redirect the output of a program to the console AND to a file? like ./myprog somefile and see the output on the console too

I could fix it in under 30 seconds.

Yes, I had to end up putting in my live disc as the installation on my hard disc didn't work.

haha

lol

ok how do I get my glx running with a GeForce 7500?

lol

yes igxmyzt nano is an editor.

i don't know if nano is the best idea, after all it's text based

???

Then I forgot my login :-[

i dont know anything about linux, mainly because it doesnt have good games like guild wars

I am James1

mo0osah, he cant get Xorg up.

fm, there is a tee command

I know he cant use VI.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268149&highlight=XGL+Beryl

ok.. so what happened?

thx saam

igxmyzt, can you paste me the result of "grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf"?

It said the X server or something wasn't configured correctly, I didn't read the error report and it went into text based.

i can give you the result of lspci|grep VGA

anyone use rotating snapshot style backups?

did u change the driver section from nv to nvidia?

grat, I feel left out

igxmyzt, why would i give a tinkers hoot about that?

heh

nvidia didn't work for me

No, I didn't do anything you said as I restarted first.

because i dont understand what it means

igxmyzt, are you purposely trying to tick people off?

and the dfault is nv

install the nvidia drivers

revvltn you use ATI?

actually

he wants the output from xorg.conf so he can tell what driver you are using

Hey all.

how can i remove a directory from terminal?

grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

na, got a GeForce 7500

rm folder/file

i have the result from when xserver failed to load.

Can I get some help with my XFCE session?

IGX!!!!!

wohoo!!! water effects I am comming!!!111

LISTEN TO ME FOR GODS SAKE!

rm = remove
oh
rm -r

stop doing what YOU want to do, its obviously not working!

So, would you be able to tell me how to make it so I can use the UBUNTU that is on my HD?

hard when i have to reboot to do it when winxp is just now working again. i dont want to lose it _

jesus christ.

ok.. so if you go into the xorg.conf file now.. search for "nv" and change it to "nvidia" it should work
bok.. so if you go into the xorg.conf file now.. search for "nv" and change it to "nvidia" it should work/b

bearefull with rm -r

lol necro thanks.

lol

igxmyzt, i give up on you
you wont do as i ask.

xorg.conf file? Where do I find that?

every OS and piece of hardware hates my dell bios

i cant help if you wont follow directions.

Anyone know anything about XFCE?

oh my gawd, so I can't get accelerated geForce Drivers ?

"/exec -o grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

JamesBlack182, /etc/X11/xorg.conf

ill do that command after you look at this

would you happen to know if installing third party drivers would improve my gfx performance in any way, or most likely messup everything..... right now, beryl and everything works fine

rm -r will remove the directory and all files within

Nothing is installed right now. I am running my Live Disc right now

yes #xubuntu

igxmyzt, your time is up
im done with you
you had your chance.

lol
alright

I know what your problem is, you dont.

so how do I do that?

ok. install off the live disk.. after its installed, install the driver nvidia-glx-new

So why are you telling me what i need to look at?

I mean how do I get to get there

it took me hours to install my nvidia drivers

and then to the thing off that link i gave u

is that in portage?

in which file do I find the kernal name? I need to change a line there.. I forgot!!

descend into write-protected directory `RealPlayer'?

sorry in Adept?

igxmyzt, what does that have to do with anything.

hi all, i have a problem with ubuntu, when i start it, i can't see the toolbar

rm -r is powerfull

its just what xserver said

will it work for real?/

my boxfamily

I am running on my live cd as Ubuntu that I had installed on my HD was messed up. It said that the X server host wasn't configured (or something to that effect) and wouldn't run the GUI. So, I had to pop in the CD in so I could get on and have this conversation

I can't see the menu toolbar in the up e& down part of the screen how can i do?

do i add the line i need in /boot/grub/menu.lst?

they're here to help you. They wouldn't mess up yer box.
God knows they've helped me alot.

my harder-headed-than-me dell bios would.

trying to fix ubuntu somehow made my radeon refuse to load with winxp til i did a restore

if you still have it on your harddrive (installed... boot off the harddrive... do 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and look for the line that has nv and change the nv to nvidia.. save the file by pressing ctrl+x and following the instructions.. then rboot off hdd

ok... better write this down

ah, this is chaos.

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?

what do i do with nano and xorg.conf?

lol.. hey.. someone got it

add it to ~/.xchat2/plugins directory, or try asking in #xchat

ssam kflog is the package I have installed and I want to let a friend know where to get it

nano is a text editior

roger that.

preaction command not found

igxmyzt, edit your drivers entry for your video card.

open xorg.config with it

thx, preaction

try "terminal" then

what do i edit to what?

hm?

duh

igxmyzt, hold on... im booting my virtual machine.

open the file

has anyone heard of parallels ?

ID_EGO_, be nice... he's new... and hardheaded

sorry

neonlinux, in respect to what.

:P

ub12, it seems to be in the official ubuntu repos. are you asking if it is main or universe?

its a virtual machine

linux and windows are on this pc, i have to restart to open it

seriously, you don't have "xterm" on your computer?

not too sure neonlinux

try "gnome-terminal"

popular on mac.. but also has a version for windows and linux

ssam yes how do I find out what repo the package that I have installed originally came from?

has onyone got osX86 to run on there box
i want to try it

parallels is a VM software? Like VMware?
Or an option in a Virtual Machine software.

version 3 just got released on mac.. it has the ability to intergrate the windows desktop into the mac desktop (instead of a window) and (in ver 3) can run direct x games in the mac

i'm using parallels to run ubuntu right now

There should be a pc-aptitude test before being allowed to download any linux distro.

ah, i see.

r00t, do you know anything about snapshot style backups

Thats pretty cool, DirectX... full support?

rsync

using linux IS the aptitude test

lol necro
word preaction
brb again

the support is still buggy

yes preaction

on the parallels site theres a screenshot of it running quake4 from windows

linux needs directx _

ub12, "apt-cache show kflog" gives some info

and better ati drivers

wine.

use wine

too slow for my celeron D:

im hoping it brings directx support to linux.. once it does.. im nuking my windows partition

are ubuntu packages updated more frequently than debian ?

biyearly

well, wine is the closest to directx you will get on Linux

depends on what repo youre talking about
in general, yes.

you realize it's not actually "directx support", it's a VM

once you get your system configered you will like linux

etch for example

dont give up

and there's no faster way to implement it, really.

ssam thanks that's the command I have been looking for.

i did like it, when it worked on my old card. Now it won't work on anything.

etch is pretty frozen i think

yea.. but if its a vm capable of running directx games like quake4 (intense processing power needed to run that one) then yeah.. bye bye win partition

okay

Hi. "X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167" WTF?

your trouble is the nvidia drivers right, it took me like 4 hours to figure how to install them

NeXtDaY, whats the problem?

ATI Radeon X1550

oh
hmm
so you still have your old drivers

I wanna add 'noapic' to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic.. should it be /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic/noapic Or /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic noapic??

from your old card installed

sudo mkdir /media/x and then sudo mount /device/partition /media/x

igxmyzt, you need the fglrx driver.

I installed the restricted drivers before i changed the xorg conf.
i never deleted it.

i'm here again
i can't open the terminal

it should be the top entry in the kernel line NeXtDaY

is it possible to do netinst of ubuntu ?

what ever u set it to

but ubuntu has alot of unneeded packages :/

he says cannot display...

what did it say? what happened? "it doesn't work" is useless to me

riccard1, have you tried a reboot?

Nvidia Binary means close source?

unneeded?

what sorta gfx card?

But when loading Beryl and also after refresh the window manager it dosent show the windows decorations!!!

like grpahical config tools

ill try the stuff on the ATI page. bbl

yes i have but unlucky no solutions

did you try booting from live cd

Dont know what can cause to not show the window decorations!, evem the effects are showed like tarnsparent etx

hi

etc

what do you need a netinst for?

yes but with live cd it's working

i dont think fstab will.. where is it plugged into?

OK

i use beryl also

let gtk draw the window decorations

to build as small install as possible

Davo_Dinkum, "fdisk -l"

what was the last thing you did on it b4 the problem started

hey thanks.. i just learnt something new

there is something that i can do to have again the start toolbar?

In fact aparently it GTK is the only window decorator

why? if you really want that, use the server installer

@ neonlinux

for a desktop computer, there is no need.

It's an internal drive. Also, I need to mount an ext3 partitioned HDD, which is plugged in via USB

there is a need

i haven't install new things

merhaba

whats your screen look like

its internal now?

I am still waiting.. :P

what need?

what channel is it plugged into?

i have my wallpaper as usual and my folders

your on ubuntu desktop

Nvidia Binary means close source?

yup

just axing
ok thanks

and my kiba-dock with soem programs

Yeah it's internal. This is an *iMac*, so opening the case is tricky

some*

You mean ATA channel?

parallel or sata?

maybe something crashed with beryl?

hmm, i am on my xp laptop right now, so I cant play around with my desktop

I believe so, but I'm not a linux hosting expert. I'm guessing the nv drivers are open source and the nvidia drivers are closed source.

NeXtDaY, sure one sec.
I didnt see you wanted an example.

Hi guys. Whats the command to restart alsa????

try google for your rpoblems
*problems

i already search but no matching found

Hi. Whats the command to restart Alsa in Feisty Fawn?

i simply need basic system, without any things i don't use

i dont know about that progie

you told me so. but why?

NeXtDaY, when you get to the grub boot screen... it should give you an option to put extra variables in...

alsa sound driver?
Alsamixer

i use edgy

i suggest you to try with noacpi alone, if that fails then try noapic, and if that fails too, then try both.

Oh

whats happened?

wich is the line to disable the automatic boot of beryl-manager?
to remove it

Just need to know the command to restart Alsa.

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

Thanks Barna.

i will try this way

hmm.. hold on. let me see

Zenji, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
ok NeXtDaY

Oops I missed your question. It's PATA
neonlinux:

what do you mean?

ok.. fdisk -l should list the partitions of the drive (like r00tintheb0x said )

Sorry I was talking to neonlinux
nm

Davo_Dinkum No problem

let's say i don't like wasting space

you can also do "fdisk -l /dev/hda"
or sda or sdb or what not.

Does fdisk -l list USB HDDs?

how big is your hard drive?

Davo_Dinkum, i believe so
yes

how is the command to remove the autostart of beryl-manager?

riccard1, its under prefrencessessions
preferencessessions

ehehe i know
but i haven't the toolbar

riccard1, then why'd you ask.

40GB

oh riccard1

but i don't want both gnome and kde

so i need the line rm etc etc

riccard1, you need to run gnome-panel

i have not the start menu to do it normally

No /dev/sd** devices are showing up

in that case, you have no reason to worry.

Davo_Dinkum, just do a "fdisk -l" and see what it lisrts.
lists

yes but via shell there is a command line to remove it no?
rm ~/.kde/Autostart/beryl-manager-kde.desktop
but for ubuntu??

gnome-session-properties

It's only listing the internal HDD and the LiveCD.

i haven't the menu to do it!!

Davo_Dinkum, you're running off the live CD?

Yes

do a "dmesg |grep sda" Davo_Dinkum

gnome-session-properties might be the command you are looking for.

My isp gave me a dlink router that runs linux

just to make sure
obviously its something hardware related
any ideas?

it will be hanging on a kernel module thats failing to timeout or halting the system

try default in ur bios

easiest way to switch to default?
other then the switch -_-

could be a performance setting throwing it out of wack.. other than that im out of my depth on this one

k
i was thinking about defaulting it anyways

so can try to disable them one at a time till you find out whats casuing the problem

yeah
ill default
thanks

a verbose boot might give you some useful infomation

if u go into ur bios during boot.. there should be an option to load setup defaults.. or failsafe defaults..

yeah
k
thanks

freakin great.

Does anyone of know about problems with the asus M2V-MX into Ubuntu?

ubuntu screwed up my system.

what did it do?

I installed ubuntu 7.04 x86 on my AMD3000+
and when it booted
"Error loading Operating System:

a good tradesman never blames his tools

BAH

ummm... what were u installing it on?

my maxtor pata hdd

did the bootloader appear?

bootloader?

"dmesg | grep hda" shows this: hda:6usbcore: registered new driver usbfs"

you mean the one asking whether i want to install or try the cd tester first?
i ran it straight from the CD that shipit sent me.
from bootup,of course.

(did you have the opportunity to choose between ubuntu and your previous os?)

uh.
there WAS the last option
"boot from first hard disk"

wait, wait...
that's different

no,no loader.

Wouldn't USB devices be listed as /dev/sd* ?

so, what happened after selecting start or install?
did ubuntu start?

it booted to the ubuntu
im way past that

Anyone with rom-o-matic knowledge and thin clients setup?

i've already seen the thing go 100%
then it popped out my cd
then i took the cd out, rebooted(hit enter)

it sounds like grub isnt installed or misconfigured

oh.

so it had no error when it came to installign the boot loader?

Davo_Dinkum, we searched for sda
"dmesg |grep sd |more
"

ok

hi all

see if you see sda sdb sdc sdd.
hi matt_vu
Davo_Dinkum, are you trying to mount a USB drive or something or what?

no error.
i even ran the diskcheck from the menu

Yes, a USB HDD

anyone have VmWare?

so when u boot off the hdd.. does it bring up the grub menu?

I'm back.

nope

who uses cedega?

Davo_Dinkum, thats your whole problem?

it just says "Error loading operating system"

just to make things clear: ubuntu desktop booted without problems from the cd, and the desktop appeared. Right?

yep

than you selected install

Yeah, I need to mount the HDD so I can backup files to it

and i clicked the Install icon,went through the 7 steps of the thing

sounds like a GRUB error

no usb stick in the usb port.. no floppy in the drive.. no virus protection enabled in the bios?

and no error appeared

i didnt see GRUB.
no error in the install.
but grub didnt load.

did you have another os on your machine before ubuntu?

im on ubuntu

(eg windows xp)

im on the XP now.
XP's on the SATA.
i unplugged the SATA.

LunatikBunnie, i wasn't talking to you... lol

hello

but i can still help you

yeah, now i need to find out how to make beryl work again

blegh.

the PATA.

How long have you spent trying to get Xorg up"

at first it was off the SATA, and it went into windows.

3 or 4 days

Davo_Dinkum, i have a feeling that its somewhere in there.

and i unplugged the sata,rather than config the BIOS
and it still didnt work.

are you sure your USB ports are enabled... the drive is on... etc?

the ati instructions started it up on fglrx
how do i get beryl to activate again?

configure the bios to boot off the ubuntu drive and unplug the xp drive

I know, thats what i had been trying to tell you for the last 4 hours.

and if it fails you know there is a problem with grub

i did that.

ok, you have a problem with grub. For some reason it hasnt been installed.

and now, i have no more apps in my XP(it WAS on the drive BEFORE i formatted it for UBUNTU)

ive seen an issue where ubuntu tries to install grub boot loader on hd0 and when there is a pata and a sata it doesnt work properly.... nit sure y.. it doesnt happen in all cases.. it did happen to a friend though

Here: pastebin.ca/569666

should i try the 64-bit CD?

hi. I remember there was a sound trick for skype's sound so it doesn't sound so ugly

in case you have a 64-bit machine

it had to do with format conversion.

i have AMD64 3000+

Can somebody remind me a link to this howto ?

?

ping

could i suppose..

it is possible to mount ubuntu from the livecd and load in grub

Davo_Dinkum, give me the output of "fdisk -l" into pastebin.ca.

im THIS close to actually getting Vista
@_@

eh ill try ubuntu-effects

igxmyzt, look it up... there's resources out there.

nooooooooo!!! not vista

we can tell you how to do each and every thing.

i mean err.. microsoft osx

hey,i want to boot Ubuntu from live cd,but it doesn't work,when i reboot the pc and start ubuntu some things are loaded and in some moment reach "Starting enterprise volume management system" and begins giving some errors.Why?I have a 600mb on drive C:,is that a possible reason for these errors?

osx is 10x better than vista

there's OSX for desktops?

igxmyzt, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Beryl_.28ATI.29
it took me 15 seconds to find your answer... why can you not find it in 5 mins?

lol.. yeah... but microsofts osx is their.. umm.. version *copy*

know what i mean bro?

nup... would be nice.. but wont happen

vista lacks unix host roots

i would have stopped that sentence at vista lacks
lol

Virus Infections Spyware Trojans Adware

;

VISTA

PEOPLE http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty is your FRIEND!!!

Hi

!ubuntuguide

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

That should be an entry.

get the alternative installer

all i can think of is try a re-install (might be better to install off the alternatr cd rather than the desktop cd) its easier to find errors i find

Has anyone had the following error while trying to install libc6-xen on Edgy? - libc6-xen: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.4-1ubuntu12) but 2.4-1ubuntu12.3 is to be installed

the alternative?

and read all the docs

zdarowa

hmm.. is it possible to change debian repos to ubuntu ones :P ?

wizard123, i've done it...

zdravo

you mean jsut download it off the site and burn it to a cd-R?

pastebin.ca/569672

yeah, there are alot more installing options

cool

i had to hack away at it for a couple hours afterward though.

yup.

:/
hmm

well.. u can pirate it if u like

gah.

Davo_Dinkum, "sudo fdisk -l" and repaste please.

i'm looking for packages of older software, like java 1.4 and tomcat 4

If you're not root.

why ? something was worng ?

anybody know where i can find them?

its slightly harder to use, but you will learn more and the more you know the easier linux will become.

wizard123, ubuntu is not debian... it stopped being debian @ dapper.
too different to mix packages.

Which release do you want?
Desktop Edition Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2009
Server Edition Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2011
