you don't need to burn cd's, you can upgrade

Plus the slow transfer.

Hello .. can someone tell me what the "libc" headers are, and where I can get them?

it is, you need to pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list if you want help with this issue from me

cheers!

thats not a fatal error... didn't it boot?

why not? what happens?

I go to the Update Manager and it just tells me I'm unsupported and I should upgrade.

it's very risky to update your libc

jrib; never mind it in other location

!libc

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

I had it working well in Kubuntu, but I don't remember what I needed to change... can anyone shed any light on this?

kazim59, yes, after i did a control+D

is there a higher fourm for people who know kernals and junk??? maybe for developers and souch

Ah, well I'm trying to get my nvidia driver updated, and it keeps telling me I have to get those libc things

Truman, do you have build-essentials?

this one is for support with begginer and advanced issues

you need to edit your /etc/fstab file when you are in ubuntu
shall I tell you how?

.... issue:::........ i downloaded easy ubuntu and i said HEY GRAY it had my nvida drivers (choice from 2, 1 official 2 legacy) BY THE WAY THIS IS A CLEAN INSTALL" so i install the drivedrs and everything seems to be working fine untill i attempe to tempt my luck and plug in the s-vid... nothing happening untill i start fishing around and come across desktop effects it gives me a prompt saying that it is installing the nvida some

kazim59, yes please

guess i'll try again

!libdvdcss

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 !Universe) for backing up DVDs

edit your /etc/fstab as root (sudo gedit /etc/fstab)

it don't seem too terablly complicated i thought

kazim59, it is my /home partition in both, ubuntu and slackware

raymondjtoth, so, what happened?

I've just upgraded from edgy to feisty and my wifi setup has completely dissappeared. I used to use nm-applet and it all sort of magically worked

i've just installed Ubuntu 5.10, whats the best way to update it?

what can I do?

I'm not sure, this is a fresh installation, and I'm pretty new to linux

says i need this
libdvdcss2

the internet

libdvdcss this

Truman, ok do this "sudo apt-get install build-essentials" and then see if you could proceed

update it with the internet is the best host wat with update manager

anyone intimately familiar with alsa around?

anticitizen1 (see the private message from ubotu)

dot take off 2

dotpavan Ah, alright .. I'll try it out. Thanks.

raymondjtoth, ok, so you dont have multimedia codecs..

thought i did

but you'll need to update the orignal security updates

!multimedia ! raymondjtoth

I am fighting alsa in feisty

!multimedia | raymondjtoth

Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications

first

edit /etc/fstab as root (in ubuntu)

if you've just installed it, you're better off downloading a 7.04 iso and reinstalling

Guys, I need help setting up a wireless connection. I've look all over ubuntu forums, but can't find anything. I have a Buffalo Airstation router, and I know there's something to do with dedicated ip hosting addresses.
I had it working well in Kubuntu, but I don't remember what I needed to change... can anyone shed any light on this?

I downloaded the nvidia driver and set up my GAIM account and then ctrl+alt+backspaced out of xserver so I could install the nvidia thing .. then when I restarted x, it gave me a fresh desktop (without the driver) and my GAIM didn't have any active accounts set up

So how can I update via Ubuntu itself without having to burn a CD and what not?

have you seen the wiki page on upgrading?

xserver-xorg-dev is installed but do you know where to get libc development package?

set the last column to 0 in 'UUID=bc77755c-827c-416f-9897-fbe31a2d9338' row

Also... I have to boot the generic kernel and the 386 one doesn't work at all

6 PM) anticitizen1: i've just installed Ubuntu 5.10, whats the best way to update
update it with the internet is the best wat with update manager
but first you'll need to update the orignal security updates then you can use the update manager.

does the generic kernel not have mad-wifi suppoty?

Are you sure it is not your AP that seperates wireless from normal LAN traffic?

I am unable to connect to my wireless router. Ubuntu sees the network, but I have no internet access. I remember in Kubuntu I had to set the Gateway IP to something, but I can't remember. Can anyone help me with this, please?

no, i have eth0 coming in from outside, then wlan0 going to internal network

kazim59, you changed sda7 but the log says sda3

I am not even sure if the kernel has the madwifi stuff compiled in
how do I check?

It's giving me depository errors now. Saying it can't open the upgrades and such.

Hey guys, why is it that my hard drive partitions are registering as sba and such. Shouldn't it be HDAx
????

pastebin the errors

Does anyone know of a text replacement app?

your log says that sda3 is found clean... it gives error in UUID=....

mike33 if its sata its gets labled sda

apt-cache search madwifi

like 'sed'?

Yes, but assuming you have a router with wireless buildin, some routers seperates wireless traffic from wired traffic. Which would mean that a wireless client would not be able to se a wired server.

kazim59, oh, sorry
:p

I'm not sure what sed is...

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com

restart to see if it fixed ur problem!

yes

breezy-updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/

use pastebin to paste the full output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org

mike3_ if its sata its gets labled sda

Is both eth0 and wifi0 connected to the same router?

dot

I need restricted modules it seems

how did you make it into a link

it lets you do something like sed s/foo/bar/ file to change all "foo" into "bar" in the file "file"

Sweetrelease, it's plugged in via IDE and a IDEA slot ont he mother board.

eth0 is coming from a router on my roof (wisp) then into my computer

nothing like sata

then wlan0 going to my own ap for others in the house

dot what did i type

mike3_ oh then idk, sorry

i cant rember it

confusing i know gronbaek lol

yep gronbaek

And you can't access other computers on the AP?

to the group, Question. why does a HDD get labled as sda instead of hda if it isent sata?

herbaliser, pdfedit

nope that is correct

hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a prompt and run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'

Are the AP and the router connected in any way?

askand checkout tomboy notes

Sticky Notes?

OK, some AP's uses some sort of isolation, so wireless clients can't communicate diretcly. I think my Linksys router uses that by default.

why does a HDD get labled as sda instead of hda if it isent sata?

I'm not sure of the proper procedure, but I would try commenting those repos that are failing and then upgrading again

i've used it in the same setup in windows though

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2906074 It's about Ubuntu getting messed up by an external harddrive being connected and now it won't start or even let me reinstall.

doc|work, asdf_ something like mac's textpander, right?

There must be some sort of router connected which the AP is connected to, can you access taht?

exactly

the ap isnt connected to any router

freenx server installation ?

hey guys
i got a new dell machine
right now i only have a dapper cd and i installed dapper successfully

OK, so it's basically just there to male you able to communicate from one wireless computer to another, and not to provide Internet connection?

Hi, when I go to install feisty from desktop cd, it stops at 80% of installing system, 'Configuring target system'

Hello?

when i try to upgrade to edgy by 'gksu "update-manager -c" '...i get this message

"authenticating the upgrade failed....there might be an error in the server'?

what packages do i need on the server side to get ssh -X working?

any idea what i should do...i cant burn any more cds....

OK, but you can see it in the list of APs.

hmmz, just installed NTFS3G, and did the ntfsfix trick... but after a reboot my 2nd HD appears to be completely gone..

yeah, i am connected to it
other computers are too
just cant communicate

A little tip, write your question in *one* message, don't spread it out over six. Makes it easier to read.

asdf_, I have also been looking for something like that, plz let me know if you come across one.. I am looking right now

hi all

Nope, don't know the answer.

be more specific

what is your current status?

if I make/sudo make install something; how can i uninstall it ?

do you want something that searches and replaces text in files?

In terminal login, just installed a new graphics driver

hi - does anybody know of any tools for fat32 file recovery (from deleted files)

the restricted modules worked beautifully

no -- just that replaces text on the fly...

sometimes sudo make uninstall will be provided, but it is not guaranteed. Instead, consider using checkinstall instead of make install:

orbisvicis (see the private message from ubotu)

usually sudo make uninstall will do it, but some programs dont have an uninstall rule.....

and what happens when you try to start X again?

It gives my the "screen not found" error

anyone know of a good application to display logs from several linux machines (just text logs, syslog, kernel log samba log etc). Needs to be fairly realtime updated

OK, but if your wireless interface don't have an IP, you can't communicate with other computers. So you need to either manually setup an IP for wifi0.

My root partition is running out with space i've got only 150 MB left can i resize my / partition without using any livecd etc. coz my laptop's DVD -rom is not working

And the other client also has an IP?

so it's an issue with your xorg.conf. revert to the old one or fix the issue. If you want help fixing the new one, you should pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log after a failed attempt to start X

nope

OK, but how do I use the old one again?

how much of that is /home?

hi all

Hi I need some help with my webcam. It's a Logitech Quickcam Messenger, but I'm unable to get it to work

Hm... could you perhaps disconnect eth0, and try again. I mean, maybe when you are "pinging", its done on the wrong interface. That would explain why you can't get a route to that host.

have no window decorators in beryl on kubuntu, how to fix?

hippie sudo apt-get install emerald

o
thought that came with beryl

well by default home is under / if you want to resize / just boot either ubuntu livecd or gparted livecd

any luck on the read me?

if you follow th guides online it will tell you to install it in one sweep but its not a dependency

#ubuntu-effects is for issues with beryl. If you have an nvidia card, you probably need AddARGBGLXVisuals in your xorg.conf (see wiki)

hippie, when you click on the beryl icon and go to window decorator does it say emerald?

I'll try that

the partition cannot be mounted while resized. im not sure if you have any other option really

is there emerald setting manager?

yes there is

hehe

thanks RVB!

and when you open that is there choices?

says emerald theme manager

I'm not sure then, I've done some "pinging" on my own network, as tests, but I can't really figure out what to try next.
Especially if it works in windows.

i guess than i will have to boot with external cd-rom or maybe try to boot from USB stick

yeah
strange

any one use firestarter ?

pike_, thanx for ur help

hippie, and when you open that is there choices?

what dose the "lock mean"

hmm does Xubuntu tend to freeze when it gets to Preparing to configure xubuntu-docs on older machines?

My best gues was still that the "double" network connection could be a problem, but i'm not sure.

i wouldnt say so, because i've tried without the wired network and its the same

yes there is choices

anyone else have any ideas?

I'm following the guide found here: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition, but it doesn't tell me how or that I need to.

Yea, I was trying to figure out how to browse files on my computer from my phone

hey all, my feisty seems to be stuck in a "partial update" state.. can't get out of it. plus now it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop and a host of other packages. any ideas?

can someone help me please?
can some here help me fix my window decorations please?

j'ai un epliée de paquets corrompu avec synaptics, ça vous arrive aussi?

you haven't said what your problem is

try joining #ubuntu-fr

so no, no one can help you

my titlebar decoration is stuck on one theme

stop repeating your question , can u tell the exact problem

i cant seem to change it no matter what theme i choos

Does anyone know of a text expander utility for Linux like Texter in Windows or Textpander in Mac?

soory

the theme controls changes

no problem ;-) but no one understands you in here ;-)

but not the window decorations

it turns out i needed a double-dash rather than single for the options -- it's all fixed now, thanks

using gnome?

r u using beryl?

gnome and beryl, but i have configured beryl to use gtk decorations

window decorations are separate from the window styles. the decoration controls the borders, title bars, and window behavior. the window style controls widgets, scroll bars, buttons, loading bars and stuff inside the window.
are you sure you're changing both decorations and style

hmm...
im confused...

when i change the theme, my panels change, the scroll bars change,
evgerything except the title bar

hi - ubuntu upgraded my kernel, now vmware doesn't work. It wants me to re-configure, but it can't find the "linux" subdir of the kernel headers directory (which are installed according to aptitude - provided by linux-libc-dev 2.6.20-16.29 - my kernel vn is now 2.6.20-16 rather than -15) how can I get the appropriate headers installed?

are you using gnomes theme manager
or beryls

aroo...the gnome theme manager

Wibble-: want to try virtualbox?

not really - I've already got a vmware machine set up I want to boot

no problem ;-) but no one understands you in here ;-)
do you have any idea? It's for that openmoko. I downloaded the dev-stuff for it, and after that I had to chroot into a dir of that stuff.

Wibble-: and ubuntu don't have the kernel headers you want?

is the beryl theme manager the same as emerald theme manager? if yes, beryl is using gtk as the default for window decorations

Wibble-: try a later kernel?

!font

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer

Wibble-: When you updated the kernel, did you also update the haeders used when vmware-configure compiles the modules for your kernel?

correct... ubuntu upgraded the kernel two days ago and I only just tried the virtual machine,,, it needs a new kernel module, but the headers which are installed don't seem to give vmware what it needs
aptitude suggests the kernel headers are installed (linux-headers-2.6.20-16, which matches uname -a)
and the directory *does* exist, but does not have a "linux" sub-directory

Wibble-: get module-assistant, then type sudo m-a update,prepare and that should set it up for you

Wibble-: they are exactly the same version?

yes

Wibble-: the package of linux-source or linux-headers must be the same like linux-image (including revision)
Wibble-: are you very damn sure?
Wibble-: what which vmware version?

I shall check again

Wibble-: the 5.x has problem with very new secure linux web hosting kernels
Wibble-: try 6.x

Does anyone know if it is possible to run autohotkey scripts in Ubuntu?

does anyone know what the sr0 device would be called?

Is there any way i can install glibc-2.4 on dapper? i get glibc-2.3.5-0ubuntu1 only to install thru apt-get

has anyone developed a patch for the issue with headphone insertion not turning off main speakers?

Why would you need to revert that?

yeah use feisty and that problem is fixed otherwise install latest alsa driver

/dev/sr0 ??

Does anyone know if you can run autohotkey scripts in ubuntu?

yes what device would that be?

i need to run truecrypt

guys i installed skype and i have to edit which are my devices, but there are a lot.. like HDA Intel and things, is there a way to knw which is the microphone and which are the speakers

And it requires and older version of glibc?

try cdrom or dvd

an ATAPI (cd/dvd readers/burners) device or Scsi optical device (cd/dvd readers/burners)

anyone here.. i have a quick question

is there anything in ubuntu similar to windows task manager?

gnome-system-monitor

in ubuntu v5.10.. does it have a LIVE CD function

gerro, hmmm... i'm using feisty and its not fixt...

open up a terminal and type 'top'

how can i transfer files from my desktop to my ipod? im using ubuntu but i cant transfer my mp3 files to my ipod

i hav installed it from apt-get, it installed f9 , now when i run it it gives me error

ty marfeath

my laptop has switchable floppy/cdrom thing and it thinks the one object currently inserted is both so I think removing all floppy support from kernel will fix that

would that work?

sudo apt-get install gtkpod

also im getting some errors when trying to isntall updates

truecrypt: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by truecrypt)

any idea why?

in ubuntu v5.10.. does it have a LIVE CD function

Could not download all repository indexes

can someone please try do connect to "irc.thg.se" for me?

Does anyone know of a text substitution utility for Linux like Texter in Windows or Textpander in Mac?

can you connect to http://tnij.org/3v9 ?

dunno sorry

hi all! simple question i have searched for auto-start of beryl on feisty without avail any links or help?

preaction whats next after installing it?

in ubuntu v5.10.. does it have a LIVE CD function

run it?

that is a dangerous lib to change, i dont reccomend it. Have you looked into luks?

i just need a quick answer guys

use udev rule to set synlink from sr0 to cdrom/dvd

please answer it

hi, anyone made pcsx2 work on ubuntu, at least the bios?

hi, how i set rootpassword in ubuntu??

sed + reg expresions ??

does ubuntu v5.10 have a live cd function

what are reg expressions?

okaym i dunno about luks

!root | Igr

do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

sudo passwd

!root | Igr

vim expressions?

I have a live cd and need to access some form of console to try editing that

but where can i find the program?

in the menu?

I'm looking for something that will replace text in any app, not just vim -- firefox specifically

regular espressions

I'm using it on my whole drive, and it will be sufficient security for what you need, check out using that instead.

i have this in my installation
sudo apt-get install gtkpod
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2 (= 0.13.0) but it is not going to be installed
libssl0.9.6 but it is not installable

3.3.6) but it is not installable

!luks | Leonidas

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

Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

gottcha, dunno

can you explain?

udev rules are run at boot when devices are recognized

gerro, synaptic says i already have the latest feisty installation of alsa... perhaps i need something else to make linux recognize my headphone jack?

grimboy_uk, hostname

Thanks

does ubuntu v5.10 have a live cd function

newfile will replace (with replace ) all instances of find in the oldfile and put the result in newfile (text files)

5.1? ouch

i want to know becuase i have an old pc

just start a gnome terminal session, what u find before the at sign id the name of your computer

with 128mb ram
and i can't run any higher than 5.1

it means that it can't install ymessenger, but you installed gtkpod

I'm talking about on the fly substition like "hj" + enter will replace hj with Hello, John

why not? use xubuntu fiesty, should work fine

hi, anyone made pcsx2 work on ubuntu, at least the bios?

ok.. thanx , i will give luks a shot

my 128mb laptop runs xubuntu 7.04

tony_00021, Yeah, thanks, but I can use hostname from a script.

nevermind, i hadn't enabled headphone jack sense

preaction

thanks

it says 256mb ram minimum

it is alot better maintained in linux that truecrypt, i spent a long time on this... good luck

try the command hostname

guys

if you install ktorrent you'll have to install dependencies but it will work

Amarok keeps crashing every time I drag an mp3 file to the playlist. This is a fresh install... any ideas?

update to 1.4.6 kubuntu.org

what's with this error? Error initialising iPod: Problem creating iPod directory or file: '/media/disk/iPod_Control/iPod_Control'.

hello people my keyboard is messed up in ubuntu i.e shift+2 gives me @ instead of speach marks and thats not the only keys giving me the wrong settings - how do I fix this?

seems like you picked a us keyboard

bur[n]er: Uhm, Amarok is fully updated (to the Ubuntu reps, anyway)... and that doesn't help anyway.

change the layout away from US English?
their are seperate repos on kubuntu.org that show the amarok 1.4.6 repos
it was released a few days ago

asdf_, snippit uses xautomation and erb (embedded ruby), I installed both, still configuring..

bur[n]er: Ah... when I'm not using Kubuntu, nor do I feel I should be forced to update again... you know?
This makes no sense.

bur[n]er + kitche zeha tried that changed it to UK but nothing has changed do i need to restart_

can any one help me with this error
Problem creating iPod directory or file: '/media/disk/iPod_Control/iPod_Control'.

I'm sure you don't "have" to and there's a way to fix it, but I'd spend the time updating to the most current instead of bughunting on an older version
you don't need kubuntu... you just add the kubuntu repos... "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install amarok" and done

hello people my keyboard is messed up in ubuntu i.e shift+2 gives me @ instead of speach marks and thats not the only keys giving me the wrong settings - how do I fix this?

hello, im having problems getting my nvidia 8800gts to wrok in 3d

shift+2 on my keyboard should yield @

s/wrok/work

is your keyboard a different type?

always close your regexes
Give some more info about the matter

i've tried 2 things

desktop effects

which changes my x conf
and requires a restart of X
http://www.superdsblog.com/Xorg.0.log

in what way? it a normal keyboard but the layout is not being picked up and I dont know the model for a standard pc in the keyboard layout

how do you revert xconf to an original state?

whats the name of the network applet that shows wireless places. i need it back

then i found some package to download with apt-get

which package do i need to bind a command or a script to my remote control?

you could just delete it

nvidia-glx-something

is it net monitor?

this crashed

ubuntu rebuilds it?

or rather, wouldnt start

anyone had ubuntu crash often to a black screen with green lines?

or do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg

i'm confused what you're asking. you said that shift+2 gives you an @ symbol which seems correct for every keyboard I've ever seen

I loaded up install cd and pressed f6 is there anyway I can set boot option to do "modprobe -r floppy
rm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.ko" or something equal to that?

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! Whell there's your problem

netmonitor i dont want

works ok with the nv driver

im in the UK it is supposed to be speech marks not @

Let me flex my google skills

hehe

speech marks as in quotations?

how do i determine what kernel i have in terminal?

uname -a

then you picked the us keyboard layout most likely

thanks

yeha thats right

do not toy with different custom kernels, nvidia-glx-new legacy or regular, it will screw your system over and be very difficult to find help in setting it up so that you can use regular nvidia driver

you should change keyboard settings to your local layout

i didnt know that was a custom kernel

I learned that lesson hard way this morning trying to delete everything releated to nvidia so I could manually install the driver myself

just thought it was a driver

I ahve I said that before but it is still showing doing the samething all my key are changed and the uk dvork layout doesn't pick up

what package you talking about?

the 8800gts is quite a new card, so may not be supported properly yet

Not a whole lot of success stories with the 8800

the one you mentioned gerro

which package do i need to bind a command or a script to my remote control?

nope not alot

how do i see what graphics card i have?

amd64 ?

lspci something?

i have a nice black border down both sides of my screen with the nv driver
nope, x86
Intel Dual Core

i get this error when compiling Mesa3D, can anybody tell me what is the problem ?

Crapola

wow have any of you tried windows vista?

it worked just fine before i reset my router... i didnt change anything on my ubuntu

no one knows what may be wrong?

fine usb method, do you have a link to a guide for that?

if im using Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device what should i use for xgl nvidia or ati?

Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot a total system hang (no mouse / keyboard response)

most those guides for usb install on ubuntu site are horrible

dosage check your var/messages log
var/log maybe...

???????????????

I have scanned through those, but as I am a newbi, I am not really sure what I am looking for

tried the recovery?

recovery?

cat /var/log/messages first off what is around time of hangup?

neither if you are not using a nvidia or ati card
for intel card use intel drivers

nvidia card?

ATI

bah

alright gnomefreak

Cain, and you really should use AIGLX
it would be much faster

you shoud have a recovery option in your grub

or dmesg

sorry, first time on irc, dont want to but in on what seems to be you trying to help dosage. Anyone free i can ask for a few bits of help?

I connected an external usb harddrive to my computer, next time I started it Ubuntu wouldn't start, now I can only access the windows partition (after doing fixmbr to get rid of grub). I've tried reinstalling Ubuntu but that doesn't work, now I tried Debian which won't install either. I've written a thread on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2906074 about it which has more info and...
...would appreciate if someone could take the time to check it out. Thanks.

lockups seem to be random

oh well
no luck

owch...
tried a external mice/keyboard dosage?
have you dualbooted to win etc?
if you have win that is

havent gone that far yet

or, is the keyboard working in bios?

this is a 100% ubuntu laptop
so no dual boot

ok, works navigatin in bios?

I have been having a few problems, main one being that webmin will not allow connections to people outside the lan, when i first installed it till it did a reboot it worked tho
