#xubuntu 2007-04-01 <tjones> hello <tjones> is any one here? <BFTD> yes <PuMpErNiCkLe> !anyone <ubotu> 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? <tjones> ok, sorry. Is it possible to use wirless internet with xubuntu? <PuMpErNiCkLe> Yeah. <tjones> how? <PuMpErNiCkLe> !wifi <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs <PuMpErNiCkLe> That's probably what you're looking for. <tjones> ok thanks <tjones> quick question though <tjones> which is better for the complete novice ubuntu, xubuntu or kubuntu <PuMpErNiCkLe> Are you coming from a Mac background, a Windows one, or what? <BFTD> any of the three <tjones> windows <PuMpErNiCkLe> You may find Kubuntu somewhat more comfortable, then. <tjones> will wireless internet be easy to setup? <tjones> on kubuntu <PuMpErNiCkLe> It mostly depends on how well supported the wifi hardware is. <tjones> is there a list of supported hardware? <tjones> i dont want to install unless i have wireless interweb <PuMpErNiCkLe> Not that I know of - what brand/model do you have? <posingaspopular> j #ubuntu <tjones> a netopia router, and a belkin usb wireless g thingy <posingaspopular> opps <PuMpErNiCkLe> http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Belkin_v2404.html <PuMpErNiCkLe> At worst, it should work with ndiswrapper. <PuMpErNiCkLe> !ndiswrapper <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs <PuMpErNiCkLe> hmm... <BFTD> I find ndiswrapper easy to use <PuMpErNiCkLe> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported <PuMpErNiCkLe> Found by accident, but what you were looking for in the first place. <tjones> thank you PuMpErNiCkLe, you have been most helpful. <cclampblues> yo <BFTD> yo <kalikiana> yo <cclampblues> how do you do a disk check? it said it hadent beeen checked and it was mounted 39 times so it ran a check -- i want to do the check again. how do i do it? <cclampblues> yo <cclampblues> doe sthis makea nys ense?? <TheSheep> !fsck <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot <cclampblues> ok. the robot is sweet and all but how would i have ever guessed that fsck is the disk checker? <cclampblues> thanks btw <cclampblues> !man fsck <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about man fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi <TheSheep> you could have asked here or googled for 'disk check linux' or read a linux book or ask on some forum or read the documentation included in your distribution... <TheSheep> !man | cclampblues <ubotu> cclampblues: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands <TheSheep> cclampblues: you use it in a terminal <cclampblues> thanks. * cclampblues loves penguins. * kalikiana mumbles 'vertical tabs' and tries to lay his monitor on the side. <TheSheep> kalikiana: they should be placed in the z axis ;) <TheSheep> kalikiana: that'd be intuitive ;) * kalikiana puts his vertical tabs on the left side now... <TheSheep> kalikiana: be careful with your neck <kalikiana> TheSheep, Actually vertical tabs on the left side are not that strange :) <TheSheep> question of habituation <cclampblues> is there a termainal command to restore panel defaults? <kalikiana> I'm still searching for a solution to the 'many tabs' versus 'few space' problem :P <TheSheep> cclampblues: <TheSheep> cclampblues: the yare stored in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/, you can just remove the contents and relog <TheSheep> remove these files with rm ~/.config/xfce4/panel/* <cclampblues> is it commonn for panel settings to change on their own? i cant get them to stay the same. and other desktop settings too like background images etc <TheSheep> cclampblues: that's certainly not normal <TheSheep> cclampblues: do they reset to the default values? <TheSheep> cclampblues: maybe you're out of disk space in your home directory and they can't save the settings to files? <TheSheep> cclampblues: df -h command will list all your partitions and free space on them <cclampblues> no. just like my applications menu will disappear... after a reboot. where i am now. <Shaba1> hello anyone here? <TheSheep> cclampblues: is it dapper or edgy? <TheSheep> Shaba1: just we, mice <cclampblues> how to i open a terminal window from the keyboard? <TheSheep> alt+f2 and type 'Terminal' <TheSheep> note the capital leter <cclampblues> i got 16gig free <cclampblues> its edgyelf <TheSheep> that's weird <michaelpo> hi, what software do you recommend for me to extract email addresses from my excel spreadsheet or msword doc? <PuMpErNiCkLe> `grep` <PuMpErNiCkLe> If you want to actually view them, though, OOo is likely what you're looking for. <PuMpErNiCkLe> Abiword comes preinstalled, but has no support for Excel, and shaky support for .doc. <BFTD> heh, I now have three eth ports (eth0, eth1, and eth2) but when I try to ssh into a computer connected via eth1, it gives me "No route to host" <BFTD> hrm <BFTD> can't figure it out <BFTD> ah got it <BFTD> thanks guys <michaelpo> PuMpErNiCkLe: i want to extract the addresses and file them into a email software so that i can choose which contact to email... something like a mailing list? <rici> export them as csv <michaelpo> my spreadsheet has a mixture of text and email addresses... <sigmamu188> !torrent <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt) - Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html <gunny01> the 7.04 beta livecd start really slowly, even on a new pc. Is this just cos it's in beta and hasn't been optimised? <PuMpErNiCkLe> Unlikely - builds are done the same way a stable release would be, they're just untested. It's possibly a bug - check dmesg and logs. <Jester45> /msg NickServ IDENTIFY hammy1 <Jester45> oo darn <hyper_ch> hiho <TheDarkKiller> How do I install Java on Xubuntu? I can't seem to make it work with Firefox. <crimsun> TheDarkKiller: 1.5 or 1.6? <crimsun> TheDarkKiller: and which version of Xubuntu? <TheDarkKiller> crimsun, you got the /msg's ? <alnokta> TheDarkKiller, http://www.getautomatix.com <crimsun> TheDarkKiller: make sure multiverse is enabled, and make sure you have sun-java5-plugin installed <crimsun> !components > TheDarkKiller <crimsun> I can't respond to queries, btw. <TheDarkKiller> Ah <hyper_ch> TheDarkKiller: I wouldn't use automatix <hyper_ch> that's the java I hae installed: aptitude -y install sun-java6-jre sun-java5-jre * grazie wouldn't recommend automatix either <TheDarkKiller> I have a slow system anyway <alnokta> why hyper_ch grazie ? <hyper_ch> alnokta: it may break the system upon installation of other software or dist-upgrades <hyper_ch> and I think it doesn't even update its installed stuff <alnokta> ah <hyper_ch> alnokta: what automatix does can you also do <hyper_ch> alnokta: it'll just take a bit longer to learn <alnokta> i know, but automatix makes it easier <hyper_ch> easier is not better in this case <hyper_ch> what do you need automatix for? <alnokta> oh, sorry, i wasn't looking, to install the applications that is listed in it with few steps :) <hyper_ch> alnokta: like? <alnokta> java win32 codecs azuers <hyper_ch> you don't need automatix for that <TheDarkKiller> What does aptitude -y install sun-java6-jre sun-java5-jre do? <alnokta> acrobat rp <alnokta> yes yes <hyper_ch> acrobat is also in the additional repositories <hyper_ch> TheDarkKiller: it will install java <TheDarkKiller> hyper_ch, it removed the gui <hyper_ch> TheDarkKiller: then it's your setup... do you have a fresh isntall of xubuntu? did you use automatix? <TheDarkKiller> I had a perfectly fine installation with gui and all, then I wanted to install Java, and I did that command <TheDarkKiller> Now I'm at a prompt instead <hyper_ch> this won't remove the gui <TheDarkKiller> It did :'( <hyper_ch> I installed it... hmmm... no clue how often... and never did remove my gui <hyper_ch> then isntall the gui again <TheDarkKiller> :'( <TheDarkKiller> That's 2 hours again <TheDarkKiller> Damn <hyper_ch> sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop <TheDarkKiller> I know <TheDarkKiller> But it takes time :P <hyper_ch> depends on your connection <Grey_Loki> How can I make gdesklets automatically start when I log in? <TheDarkKiller> I have a 512kb/s connection <grazie> TheDarkKiller: not sure re-installation is the answer, but you certainly won't re-install everything again <TheDarkKiller> Still slow. <grazie> TheDarkKiller: describe what happened again <grazie> Grey_Loki: I don't know the answer, but I think it's none standard. man gdesklets or google <hyper_ch> Grey_Loki: did you try the saving the session upon logging out? <Grey_Loki> hyper_ch, that's what i'm currently doing, but it means that I have to be careful what I leave open when I shutdown/logout, so that it doesn't get started on the next boot. <hyper_ch> Grey_Loki: just save once the session with all apps/gdesklets started that you want <hyper_ch> after that don't save the session anymore * Grey_Loki nods <Grey_Loki> I was hoping there was a more 'geeky' solution, but if it works, I guess it'll do * Grey_Loki grins <hyper_ch> sure there is a more geeky solution <grazie> Grey_Loki: pretty sure saving session or using autostart will not work for gdesklets. read the manual or google <ormiret> Grey_Loki: there are start up scripts you cna tag commands on the end of, I just can't remember where they are for xfce <Grey_Loki> I seem to remember mention of something called rc.d <Grey_Loki> What is that? <ormiret> rc.d is stuf that runs on boot (or changing run level) - more system level stuff than you're after here * Grey_Loki nods <grazie> Grey_Loki: /etc/rc.local is very useful very autostarting stuff. Whether it's right for gdesklets I dunno <Grey_Loki> I'll have a check of the gd forums, see what they say. * grazie wonders what's so hard about "google autostart gdesklets" :) <ormiret> the stuff in rc.local will run before you login so is likely to not work unless gdesklets can magically attach to your session after it's created... <TheDarkKiller> How do I install Java?

The Mozilla Foundation owns the patent 5,160,296 through one of their developers (Solomon Katz, a former Opera dev) and has begun suing Microsoft in Mountainview, California. The Foundation wants that MS immediately ceases to distribute IE 7 and pays 1.4 Billion dollars in damages. Heise <hyper_ch> reports that Microsoft has issued no official response, but is contemplating to ship IE 7 NT (no tabs). <ormiret> was that posted this morning? <Carsten> hello world! <Carsten> anyone can help me on my soundsystem for ESS 1869? <grazie> hyper_ch: can't really se M$ loosing any battle in court....interesting story though <hyper_ch> grazie: if Mozilla has the patent for tabbed browsing... then M$ can loose <ormiret> Carsten: what's the problem? <Carsten> ormiret: Thank you. My problem: I use a laptop and found too many possibilities to set up... none worked <Carsten> ormiret: I am using Compaq Armada 1750 (PII/c. 300MHz) <peweeh> hyper_ch: well... it would be something. but then the date just hits me :D <grazie> hyper_ch: I dunno....the way the world is now...if you've got enough dosh noone can touch you <Carsten> ormiret: I installed ALSA, some said it's working with sb module... i think it's a problem about isapnp <ormiret> does the card show up in lshw? <Carsten> processing... <Carsten> ormiret: negative <Carsten> right now: fresh boot <Carsten> i worked with modprobe only <ormiret> OK, does the snd-es18xx module showing up in lsmod? <Carsten> ormiret: not yet <Carsten> should I tra modprobe? <ormiret> yes <Carsten> i restarted after I failed yesterday <Grey_Loki> hyper_ch, what would that mean for other tabbed browsers, like Opera? <Carsten> ok <Carsten> w/o options? <ormiret> yes <Carsten> k <Carsten> modprobe snd-es1688 (no error mesg) <Carsten> boxes knacked (once) <ormiret> knacked? <Carsten> hm.. small sound like getting voltage (initialistaion) <Carsten> initialization <ormiret> OK, try lshw again and see if the sound card is there now. <Carsten> now we got (lsmod) <Carsten> snd_es1688 Size: 7744 Used by: 0 <Carsten> snd_ ... <Carsten> opl3_lib <Carsten> hwdep <Carsten> es1688_lib <Carsten> pcm_oss <Carsten> mixer_oss <Carsten> ... <Carsten> any other output you need to know? dmesg? <ormiret> wait a minute, are you sure thats the right module? From what I can find you should be loading snd-es18xx. <Carsten> thats the weird part... in some instructions i found that, and alsaconf and sndconfig while i wasn't able to find <Carsten> Module not found (snd-es18xx) <ormiret> that's likely to be the problem then. It is there on this debian box. <ormiret> What do you get from 'sudo modprobe snd-es' and then pressing tab twice? <Carsten> the module? alsaconf? sndconfig? <ormiret> the module. <Carsten> processing... <Carsten> tab doesnt work for me in this mode <Carsten> and directory where I can ls those files? <ormiret> yeah, give me a second while I find where... <Carsten> thx <ormiret> shoudl be in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/sound/isa/ <Carsten> kernel: 2.6.15-26-386 <Carsten> es1688 <Carsten> NO es18xx <Carsten> ad1816a ad1848 cs423x es1688 gus opti19xx sb wavefront are files/links/content of above mentioned directory <ormiret> not good, looks like you'll have to compile the module yourself. <Carsten> ack. <Carsten> anything I can read about THIS in order to prepare ? <ormiret> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile <Carsten> uh-oh <Carsten> never compiled a kernel sucessful... but that is away in 1997 suse 5.1 ^^ debian potato? <Carsten> got time and nerves? <Carsten> i'll try to prepare the basic stuff, ok?! <Carsten> kernel-wedge needed for xubuntu 6.06? <ormiret> !info kernel-wdge <ubotu> Package kernel-wdge does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas <ormiret> !info kernel-wedge <ubotu> kernel-wedge: udeb package builder for Debian-Installer.

(uh- hope you still help me .. *cough * cough) <Carsten> the debian dir mentioned in the page cannot be found <Carsten> find / -name config.386 running <Carsten> no hits yet <Carsten> locate better? <ormiret> locate is faster but wont get things that appeared since the last updatedb <Carsten> running updatedb <Carsten> & locate config.386 <grazie> Carsten: your linux kernel source and .config will be in /urs/src/linix <Carsten> kk <grazie> Carsten: /urs/src/linux even <Carsten> rgr <Carsten> untar linux-source-2.5.16.tar.bz2? <grazie> you need to run make oldconfig <Carsten> or in -headers- <grazie> and then run make menuconfig <Carsten> in /usr/src/linux <ormiret> should already be untared <Carsten> I have a ~headers~ dir and a ~source~ tarbal <ormiret> untar it in that case <Carsten> rgr <grazie> Carsten: is /usr/src/linux a symlink to your latest kernel source? If not update it so it is. <Carsten> in /usr/src/ i have <Carsten> alsa (dir) <Carsten> linux-headers-...- (dir) <Carsten> linux-headers-...-386 (dir) <grazie> that alsa doesn't seem right <ormiret> hang on a minute what version of linux-souce have you got? <Carsten> linux-source-....tar.bz2 <Carsten> Xubuntu 6.06 <Carsten> source: 2.6.15 <Carsten> -26 <ormiret> that's OK, you said 2.5.16 last time and that scared me... <Carsten> oups... <Carsten> i confirm 2.. 6 .. 15 <Carsten> argh <Carsten> 2.6.15-26 THATS it (checked twice before enter) <ormiret> thats OK then untar that, and point /usr/src/linux at it <Carsten> bunzip... <Carsten> tar -xf ... <Carsten> point is softlink... <ormiret> tar xjf ... <Carsten> ok <ormiret> yes <Carsten> how to link? thats years ago <ormiret> i.e. ln -s linus-source-2.6.15 linux <Carsten> thc <ormiret> though without my typos ;) <Carsten> ok <Carsten> i see <Carsten> I do not care as long as i got a thought of it what you mean <Carsten> if i get unsure i will ask <Carsten> (still bunziipping) <Carsten> I am quite thankful for your typo.. it helps me get an overview and likely solving my prob... <Carsten> where are you from (may i ask)? <ormiret> UK <ormiret> mre specifically Aberdeen <Carsten> oh, i m a kraut <Carsten> ok bunzip worked... <Carsten> xjf-ing now <Carsten> ok i learned: tar -j handeles zips? <ormiret> you don't need the j if you bunzipped first <ormiret> yes <Carsten> ok <Carsten> tar -xf-ing now <Carsten> right now i am in Dresden... <Carsten> studiying (actually exactly now I am not ^^) <ormiret> while that's working have a look in /boot for a config-... file. <hyper_ch> Grey_Loki: hmmm, it is an opera dev. that changed to mozilla... so I assume opera has the rights of usage of that patent <Carsten> thx for that <Grey_Loki> Unless he took them with him when he moved to Mozilla? <Grey_Loki> I'll wait for the story to surface on English tech news, and take a look later <Grey_Loki> For now, it's time for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 :D <Grey_Loki> See if I can get wine to agree with it <hyper_ch> Grey_Loki: Opera had tabbed browsing for a long time... so I think they have the right to use it... however I don't know about the exact situation and patents... <Carsten> not whine, but wine ^^ <hyper_ch> Grey_Loki: here in Switzerland the patent would remain with the company and not the individual <Carsten> ormiret: tar finished. ready (blinking cursor) <ormiret> OK, 'make menuconfig' <Carsten> ormiret: (i linked the dir into linux) <Carsten> specific dir to be at? <ormiret> ah right, you'll need to move into that dir before the make command then <Carsten> ok <ormiret> (good thing one of us is paying attention) <Carsten> right... i ll try <Carsten> ^^ <Carsten> well it's not the first time i sitt in front of linux, but i am quite noob <Carsten> ormiret: HOSTCC... SHIPPED... <ormiret> First thing you want to do once menu config comes up is load an alternative conifguration file, and give it the one in /boot that corresponds to your curent kernel <Carsten> ormiret: alright menu there <Carsten> uh--... <Carsten> general setup? <Carsten> code maturity? <ormiret> Should be second option from the bottom "Load an alternative Configuratio File" <Carsten> ^^ <Carsten> i learned... more menuoptions than my screen can handle in one page <Carsten> enter name ".config" ? <ormiret> right you want /boot/config-... have a look in /boot to find the one matching the current kernel <Carsten> ok <ormiret> loaded? <Carsten> nope had-typing =( <Carsten> hand-t <Carsten> alright <Carsten> loaded <Grey_Loki> Hrmpfh. winecfg isn't loading ze dialogue box :( <Carsten> ormiret: sugesstion.. i need snd-es18xx.ko? <ormiret> Right, now Device Drivers -> Sound -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> ISA devices -> Generic ESS ES18xx driver <ormiret> change that option to an M <Carsten> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=319120 <Carsten> ok <Carsten> working <Carsten> hm... <Carsten> Generic ESS ES18xx driver has (like every driver on that menu-page) already an "M" <M> in front?! <ormiret> odd that you dont have the module then... <ormiret> In that case exit and save the configuration <Carsten> rgr <Carsten> done <Carsten> from page above :...Sorry, should have read closer. Does dmesg give any hints about what went wrong? What does modinfo snd-ex18xx report? Look at setting a port= or irq= type option. dmesg will hopefully tell precisely which test failed and consequently what info needs to be supplied. <ormiret> That will only be needed once you have the right module (and even then the kernel can usually figure that stuff out itself) <Carsten> ok <Carsten> then how to get module? <Carsten> apt-get install snd-es18xx? <Carsten> failed =/ <ormiret> now 'make dep', 'make-kpkg clean', 'fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=<soem string> kernel_image' <Carsten> (in linux-source-dir) make dep <ormiret> yes <Carsten> *** unnecessary now <Carsten> ...proceed with make-kpkg? <ormiret> yes <Carsten> working <Carsten> no rule to create kpkg <Carsten> oh... i correct now <Carsten> working <Carsten> missing "-" inserted <ormiret> ah <Carsten> ...rules real_stamp_clean... <Carsten> ...changing dirs... <arnor> hello World! <Carsten> ill use "#" for verbose from console... <Carsten> arnor: Hello one! <arnor> how could I know if I have a firewall einabled into my distro? <Carsten> ormiret: #CLEAN <arnor> enabled I meant <Carsten> ormiret: ready <Carsten> arnor: sorry dunno <arnor> :[ <Carsten> proceeding fakeroot <ormiret> OK, this one will take a while and spit a lot of montgomeryrobert@example.net... <Carsten> kernel image...? <Carsten> vmlinuz? <ormiret> kernel_image <Carsten> ah, "kernel_image" <grazie> arnor: if you haven't enabled will not have an enable firewall by default <Carsten> --revision=<soem string>? <grazie> !firewall | arnor <ubotu> arnor: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

I always forget "/" "\"? <Carsten> \test <ormiret> /me * Carsten learned again! Thx. <Carsten> there are some errormessages.. but he continues... hope it does not break up... <Carsten> CC fs/bad_inode.o -- Warning.. incompatible pointer <ormiret> those aren't usually anything to worry about <Carsten> ok hoped for that.-.. <Carsten> i guess compiling got easier now... <Carsten> i remember 10-steps-to-do after a kernel was compiled.. despite of preparations in 1997 <ormiret> Yeah, I remember doing that kind of thing. And now that kernel compiles are fairly straight forward their not often needed... <graabein> hi, i was wondering where the new updates in xubuntu feisty fawn is listed? <graabein> and if there's any plans on swapping gdm for say quingy or slim? not that i know too much about them <Grey_Loki> Hmm. How hard is it to upgrade Xubuntu from 6.06 to 6.10? I have a game that I want to run - seems to work fine in 6.10, but 6.06 gives an error <ormiret> Grey_Loki: depends how customised you 6.06 is, almost always doable though. <grazie> graabein: gdm is certainly not being replaced by anything else for feisty <Grey_Loki> ormiret, how do you mean 'customised'? I've changed a few settings related to XFCE, installed gdesklets, but that's about it <Carsten_> back again <Carsten_> i missed something? <graabein> grazie, alright :) just wondering. i found the answer to my lacking boot splash btw. it was the config-file that was set to a different resolution <graabein> in /etc/usplash.conf <Carsten_> vga=0? <ormiret> Grey_Loki: shouldn't be a problem then, more if you've installed lots of things from universe or further afield. <graabein> no the boot option was anything from vga=normal to vga=7** <Carsten_> ok <Carsten_> graabein.. i had framebuffer probs.. * Grey_Loki thinks <Carsten_> *COVER!* <graabein> help!!! <Grey_Loki> Not a great deal - wine, and perhaps...one or two other apps? * Carsten_ orders another cup of app-coffee <Grey_Loki> I'm just reading up, seems a few people are getting the same error when upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10 <graabein> i used to run ubuntu (with gnome) on this p3-mmx 450mhz -- with xubuntu 6.10 its really top notch!! <Carsten_> graabein.. top notch..? you mean fast or lame? <grazie> Grey_Loki: if you've not changed your system much a fresh install would more likey give better results and is more easily recoverable if you have a disaster <graabein> Carsten, yeah fast and responsive and the apps cover my needs and they look good. xfce is nice <Carsten_> ah xubuntu then? <grazie> Grey_Loki: dapper to edgy upgrade problems are all fixed I believe <Carsten_> I have Armada 1750 <graabein> yeah i'm xubuntu fan now, and xfce <Carsten_> icefresh blue <Carsten_> ^^ <Carsten_> summer's ahead <Grey_Loki> grazie, alright, I think i'll close everything down and give it a go. sudo update-manager -c -d, right? <graabein> yeah i've had breafast and coffee on the porch today. can't beat sunshine * grazie doesn't like update manager much <Carsten_> ormi: he's in drivers/ide right now <Grey_Loki> grazie, what would you use instead? <Carsten_> emacs? <grazie> Grey_Loki: why not update your /etc/apt/sources.list and use synatpic, aptitude or apt-get instead? Tis quite a big download you know? * Grey_Loki googles <grazie> Grey_Loki: or download the alternate cd and upgrade from that * grazie can't upgrade from desktop cd <Carsten_> ormi: Ill call back when he finished... so what was about the line to edit? <Carsten_> or simply dpkg -i (my new kernel)? <Carsten_> where will the .deb will be saved at? <ormiret> you don't need to edit anything, just install the deb, it will be in /usr/src/ <Carsten_> ok <grazie> Grey_Loki: the advantage of the alternate cd is that if you do have problems upgrading (I don't think you will) you can fresh install no hassle <Carsten_> ormiret: thank you very much. Ill try then and hope I "find" the snd-es18xx then <Carsten_> maybe one other thing <Carsten_> I have the i/o-range of "audio interface" in BIOS and 3 ranges for i/o in PNP section <Carsten_> so what will be port? <Grey_Loki> grazie, I have a 6.06 Xubuntu Desktop CD around that I can use for a fresh install. After a quick search, I turned up this - http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/10/howto-upgrade-ubuntu-dapper-to-edgy-eft.html Is that what you meant by upgrading /etc/apt/sources.list? <Carsten_> what will be mpu_port then? <ormiret> Carsten_: you shouldn't need to specify that. <Carsten_> ah i see <grazie> Grey_Loki: yeah the update sources.list is the same machanism for every release upgrade. Same again for edgy to feisty upgrade * Grey_Loki nods <Grey_Loki> Right, i'm gonna close down everything and see what happens * Grey_Loki grins <grazie> Grey_Loki: I don't know how big the download is, but would expect 300mb or more <Grey_Loki> grazie, the connection i'm using at the moment averages 440KB/s, so it shouldn't be too bad. <Grey_Loki> Right. Back in a bit, hopefully :P <grazie> Grey_Loki: yeah i'm just highlighting that if ir doesn't work out, you may have to do the same again or download edgy anyway <grazie> hey isn't that kalikana's message? :) <graabein> how do i see package information with apt-get without installing? <graabein> this apt has super cow powers! <ormiret> apt-cache show <package> <graabein> thanks <grazie> graabein: do an 'apt-get update' first if you're looking for the most up to date info <graabein> kk <knw> hi <knw> if anyone is willing to help me that would be great...I have few questions I have to ask about the OS <knw> I'm trying to switch from windows <grazie> !ask | knw <ubotu> knw: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) <knw> ok first of all I read around lookin for the best destro for me personl needs <knw> so I can across ubuntu <knw> now there is the edgy verison the faisty one <knw> if you can sum up the differences really fast that would be great =] <grazie> knw: firstly feisty is still in test, but is due for release in 3/4 weeks so it's not classed as stable yet <knw> what are the imporvments over the edgy version <grazie> knw: I could link you to a list of differences but that would be rather dry and probably not what you're looking for <knw> well since is in beta and I'm kind of new to linux I think I'm better off sticking with edgy <grazie> knw: basically more up to date packages, extra packages, nicer artwork maybe <knw> ok I also have a 9800 pro aiw <knw> I heared ati is a nightmare <knw> due to lack of drivers <knw> well I read up on it <grazie> knw: yeah, you may get a couple of problems with fiesty that need sorting....edgy will less likely have this kind of problem <grazie> knw: is 9800 an ati video card? <knw> yes <knw> 9800 pro 128ram radion seriess <grazie> ati cards can give problems, but I don't know the issues myself <knw> what do you have? <grazie> i'm using edgy and feisty on ppc. also edgy on x86 (rarely used) <Carsten_> While compiling i get lines like "CC [M] fs/ufs/file.o" ... <Carsten_> anyone can tell how long is it about to last... hours.. minutes? <Carsten_> it took him c. 1 hour to get ther <grazie> Carsten_: a complete generic kernel compile? <knw> I do have amd64 computer. Should I go with the 64bit verison on the 32bit version. <grazie> amd64 is known to have quite a few problem (all distros) <Carsten_> grazie.. hm... fakeroot make-kgkp ... will that be a complete? <Carsten_> PII/332 128MB RAM xubuntu 6.06LTS <knw> so I should stick with 32bit <grazie> Carsten_: complete kernel compiles usually take an hour or less on a reasonable spec machine. On that it is going to take a lot longer <Carsten_> grazie... well I realize <Carsten_> but, how about the dirs.. <Carsten_> will it be finished when the tree reaches "Z"? <grazie> knw: I don't have amd64, but if I did I think I would go for 32bit if you're not fairly experinced at sorting problems <Carsten_> erm, ok... it takes long. i see * Carsten_ hibernates. <knw> not in linux atleast <hyper_ch> !info wpasupplicant <ubotu> wpasupplicant: Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i).

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) <Grey_Loki> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13365/ :) <Grey_Loki> In case it's relevant, when I run 'winecfg', the shell hangs like it's launching, but the winecfg dialog box doesn't appear. * Carsten_ compiles and getting so much errormessages, that he's wondering his kernel ever works <ormiret> Carsten_: is it finished yet? <Prestwick_> Is there a xubuntu version of Feisty? <Prestwick_> Oh, yeah, there is. <Prestwick_> haha <Carsten_> ormi.. nope <Carsten_> drivers/net/irda <Carsten_> ormiret: ... I like the idea pulling out everything i do not need in order to make it faster?! <ormiret> wont make the running kernel much faster since only the modules that are needed are loaded. <Prestwick_> Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with VLC and ffmpeg. <Prestwick_> Basically when I try to transcode into anything that needs ffmpeg via VLC, it won't do it because ffmpeg can't find the encoders. <Prestwick_> or the codecs like xvid or lame. <Prestwick_> Any ideas on how to fix it? <PuMpErNiCkLe> Use the ffmpeg transcoder? <Prestwick_> Well here is the interesting thing. <Prestwick_> ffmpeg is already installed, and I've already managed to transcode using ffmpeg itself. But I need to transcode and stream too. <Prestwick_> So for some reason, something between VLC and ffmpeg isn't working. <PuMpErNiCkLe> A quick and easy hack would be to use ffmpeg for transcoding and a fifo to send it to VLC for streaming. Probably not an ideal solution, but it might work for now. <PuMpErNiCkLe> Do you get any detailed error messages if you launch vlc from a terminal and try to transcode an 'unsupported' file? <Prestwick_> Well I have a log (I run it at the command line) online if you want to take a look at it with me? <PuMpErNiCkLe> Sure. <Prestwick_> okay http://www.wilde-world.co.uk/vlc-log.txt <Prestwick_> its down right at the bottom. <Prestwick_> Its confusing because it says it finds the mpeg-4 encoder, but then develops an error and then says it can't find the encoder. <PuMpErNiCkLe> Curious. <Prestwick_> I know. For the record I'm using Xubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 6.10 Server. Both have the same problem. <grazie> Grey_Loki: did you sort your wine problem? <PuMpErNiCkLe> I've tracked down one possible problem. 11 lines up from the bottom, the 'timebase not supported' warning. <PuMpErNiCkLe> http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HOWTO_PSP <PuMpErNiCkLe> http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2005-May/000215.html <Prestwick_> Ahhh I see! <Prestwick_> Let me try that now <Prestwick_> hmm, how would I alter the command line to enter a frame rate into VLC? <Prestwick_> Okay, I'll have a look at this later, but you've been really helpful Pumpernickle. <Grey_Loki> grazie, i'm afraid not <grazie> Grey_Loki: something changed before it stopped working? <Grey_Loki> grazie, the only thing that i've added/changed is an installation of gdesklets. <Grey_Loki> But the program itself doesn't install, despite WineHQ's appDB saying it works on Ubuntu 6.10 <Grey_Loki> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13365/ if you need the log of what i'm trying to run. <grazie> Grey_Loki: what about the dapper to edgy upgrade? <Grey_Loki> grazie, turns out I was running Edgy to start with >.< <Grey_Loki> I really should keep track of these things... <grazie> Grey_Loki: so you've just install wine from the repo? <Grey_Loki> grazie, it wasn't working, so I tried sudo apt-get remove wine, then reinstalled it using 'sudo apt-get install wine', to no avail. <grazie> Grey_Loki: no problem installing though? <Grey_Loki> grazie, nope <Grey_Loki> Just tried it, and winecfg isn't running either. * Carsten_ 's computer still compiling =/ <Grey_Loki> Woah <Carsten_> now he's in sound/isa <Grey_Loki> You've been compiling for hours :S <Carsten_> rgr <Carsten_> maybe i shut down xserver next time?! <grazie> Grey_Loki: what do get when you try "sudo apt-get install wine" <Grey_Loki> 'wine is already at the newest version' <Grey_Loki> Or words to that effect <grazie> Grey_Loki: that's what I'd expect * Grey_Loki nods <grazie> what is setup.exe? <geekunit> the k3b package seems to be broken. anyone else know of a good program for copying CD's? <Carsten_> xpburnerpro <Carsten_> ^^ * grazie likes graveman <Grey_Loki> grazie, it's the setup file for my iso backup CD of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Took a look through my old games collection the other day and decided that RCT2 would run quite nicely on this old laptop. <grazie> Grey_Loki: have you used wine before without problems? <Grey_Loki> grazie, yes <Grey_Loki> Actually, one moment and i'll test it with something I -know- works. <grazie> Grey_Loki: do those app still run? <Grey_Loki> Hrm <Grey_Loki> No, it hangs in the same way as winecfg does. <Grey_Loki> Like, you press enter after the command, and it goes to that new line thingy <Grey_Loki> But nothing launches. <Carsten_> WAIT! <Carsten_> In my garden just 3 CBMs were launched... What Key did you hit ??? * Grey_Loki blinks <Grey_Loki> Looks like whatever key it was, I shouldn't have hit it :S * Carsten_ going down into the bunker <grazie> lol <Grey_Loki> grazie, any ideas about this wine thing? <Grey_Loki> I guess I could try uninstalling gdesklets, but it's not running at the moment, and i'm having the same problem. <grazie> Grey_Loki: maybe try forcing a re-install <Grey_Loki> As opposed to apt-get remove then apt-get install? <grazie> did the remove work as expected? <Grey_Loki> Yeah, it went fine. So did the installation. <grazie> no point in that then <grazie> if gdesklets is the only change why not remove it and see? * Grey_Loki nods <Grey_Loki> Righto <Grey_Loki> grazie, no luck - same problem. I'm just searching around for some sort of logfilie, maybe it contains a hint or two? <grazie> your /var/log/dpkg.log tracks packages on the machine <Grey_Loki> No, I meant an error log for wine <Jester45> would anyone like to help me forward my ports we can move to -offtopic if you would like <Jester45> i had the ports forwarded but i think that my firewall detected a attack and blocked all my ports <Jester45> i have tried turning it off messing with all the hardware options and nothing seems to get it back <Grey_Loki> !iptables <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). <Grey_Loki> Have you tried using something like Firestarter? <Jester45> is that a firewall? <Jester45> on my modem i forwarded ports 500-30000 for both udp and tcp and on my router i put the computer on a M|DMZ <Jester45> on a DMZ* <Grey_Loki> If your computer is definately in a DMZ from your router, then it's a software firewall causing the problem. By default, I believe that iptables works as your default firewall in linux <jmichaelx> i am using the xubuntu feisty beta, and have noticed that the performance of my nvidia graphics card has really gone to pot since the upgrade to the 2.6.20-13 kernel.... would anyone have a suggestion? is this maybe just a matter of waiting for more updates? <coldboot> I've managed to kill my desktop, so that wallpaper doesn't display and I can't get a context-menu when I right click the desktop. Do you happen to know what process manages that? <coldboot> Like, what process do I have to run to get the desktop back? <Grey_Loki> coldboot, you need to go Applications>Settings>Desktop Settings <Grey_Loki> And check the 'Allow XFCE to manage my desktop' checkbox. <coldboot> Grey_Loki: I'm using the Gnome-panel with XFCE, do you know the process that does desktop settings? <coldboot> got it <coldboot> xfce-settings-show <coldboot> Woo, it's working <Grey_Loki> Anyone know where wine stores its error logs? <Jester45> Grey_Loki, ok i wllmake sure my firewall is off and iptabels is cleared, akso if the firwall starts at boottime could it be blocking me even after i turn it off <Grey_Loki> What is it you're trying to do that needs such a wide port range? <Jester45> i jsut want my ports to be forwarded so i use a big range becuase i feel like it helps <Jester45> and becusae i think that firefox could be storing the page that i test on and just returning the same result so i try a diffrent port each time <Scarpa> Hello, everybody! I' m trying to install Xubuntu in an old amd k6-2 machine, with 128 MB of RAM. The installation is very slow. I wonder if there is an text-mode installation <KurtKraut> Scarpa, yes, there is. You have to download and burn the 'ALTERNATE CD' <Scarpa> ah, ok <Scarpa> many thanks <Scarpa> Another thing, KurtKraut, do you think it can run well on this machine? <Jester45> Scarpa, and just so you know the text based has all the same questions and the live cd <Jester45> Scarpa, i think it will people run xubuntu on much less <KurtKraut> Scarpa, I'm runing xubuntu feisty right now over a Semprom 2.4gHz with 256mb of RAM. It's very speedy to me. <KurtKraut> Scarpa, you'll be able to run Xubuntu but performance is a matter of taste... some people can handle a certain speed of response, some don't :P <KurtKraut> Scarpa, but Xubuntu is absolutely worth of trying <Scarpa> I' ve tried it on my laptop (an ibm thinkpad t23) and i found it cool <Scarpa> thus i thought i could be a good option to a old destop computer, which i have in home <Scarpa> I' ll download the alternate cd right now. thank you, KurtKraut and Jester45 <KurtKraut> Scarpa, the alternate should be used in systems with less then 192mb <Jester45> i used xubuntu on a 400mhz 256mb machine and its good <Jester45> but, i mostly use it for cli only things <Jester45> and torrenting <Jester45> brb <Carsten_> ormiret: still compiling =/ drivers/net/irda <Jester45> ok ip tables has been reset and firewall is completely off but still firewalled <MoNkUnClE> anyone here know about installing on same sata drive as windows here,anyone could help please <Jester45> !dualboot <ubotu> Dual boot instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh) <MoNkUnClE> thx Jester45 <MoNkUnClE> !sata <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sata - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi <MoNkUnClE> lol just thought i would give it a try <geekunit> I can't find the volume icon in Xubuntu.
