[00:11] onats: for that role you can use an specialliced distribution like ipcop or smoothwall [00:12] erUSUL: sort of, I wasn't aware of a package, and I'm curious to why it doesn't show up in a search [00:12] alguien que hable español [00:12] erUSUL, it didn't show in apt, base is another critter.

[00:14] ubuntustic [00:14] picard_pwns_kirk is it a fresh vista install? [00:14] Ttech: what type [00:14] chmod 755 file [00:14] xenthro: new laptop [00:14] Zylstra555, system->admin->software sources, select other on the dropdown, and hit the button find best sources [00:14] any* not and [00:14] Ah, Wacom tablet? [00:14] A graphire tablet. IT has the mouse and the pen? [00:15] picard_pwns_kirk do you have a vista cd as well? and a winxp cd by any chance? [00:15] The mouse does not work, and there is not configuration app [00:15] nickrud: It alwayas gives me a server that does not actually have the package information on it [00:15] Shpoo1: there should be some "default permissions" on the ftp server config.. if that's still what you're doing [00:15] xenthro: I have a recovery partition [00:15] Ttech: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom [00:15] Is there a way to delete a file using the inode number? I have a file I cannot delete or move by any means because the name seems to be invalid. [00:15] do oyu use a UBS mouse? [00:15] xenthro: I do have an XP CD, but not an XP license [00:15] Zylstra555, then try mirrors.kernel.org , it's been fast for me up & down the west coast [00:15] picard_pwns_kirk is it an hp/compaq laptop? [00:16] xenthro: Lenovo Thinkpas [00:16] pad** [00:16] nickrud: Thanks [00:16] Will do [00:16] How do i install the Nvidia driver? i cant find nvidia-glx-new [00:16] ah easy [00:16] marginoferror, what's the file name? === BilleniumZzZ is now known as Billenium [00:16] Ste1: you'll have to enable the "restricted" repo [00:16] Ste1: do you know how to do that ? [00:16] [PS2][061116]ネギま! 3時間目~恋と魔法と世界樹伝説！~.rar [00:16] i did [00:16] restricted drivers [00:16] Note that the two ! marks are different [00:16] *I tried [00:16] then you can select it [00:16] Ste1: do an apt-get update [00:16] marginoferror: ? [00:16] it said it needed nvidia-glx-new [00:16] and i have [00:16] Slart: yeah it is. Supposedly my host claims any files uploaded via FTP will obtain 755 permissions....but that doesn't seem to be the case. [00:17] marginoferror, try rm [P (hit the tab key) unless you have already, of course [00:17] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx new [00:17] Ste1: system>administration>restricted driver manager [00:17] erUSUL: I can rip fine, but when it comes to encoding, I am having troubles. The files created are only 2.0kb ? [00:17] when i click "enable" it says i dont have nvidia-glx-new [00:17] Ste1: does apt-cache search nvidia turn up nvidia-glx-new ? [00:17] Shpoo1: do they reset the permissions? have you tried setting the permissions before you upload? [00:17] picard_pwns_kirk http://vistarewired.com/2007/02/16/how-to-resize-a-partition-in-windows-vista/ [00:17] marginoferror: maybe with debugfs?? [00:17] I'm setting up rules for FIRESTARTER... what do i type if I want to enable a service along a whole ip range? i.e. 192.168.1.1-100? [00:17] nickrud: it's not an issue of indicating the file properly in the shell. It simply doesn't think the file is there. [00:17] Oh, the file is on FAT32 if that matters [00:17] It might [00:18] BB88: o_O!! i do not know what can be wrong... [00:18] i hope the file isn't larger as 4gb [00:18] Err, scratch that. It is on NTFS with ntfs-fuse [00:18] marginoferror, maybe for the exclamation points, do \! rather than just ! [00:18] underdawg: have you checked the manual for firestarter? [00:18] yep [00:18] it's ambiguous [00:18] hey there I have an issue with a USB joystick. Anyone good with them? [00:18] erUSUL: What is your encoder command line? [00:18] Slart: I'm editing the file directly off the server, so once I save it, it automatically updates on the server. I tried to go into the connection folder and change the permissions, but it doesn't let me. [00:18] BB88: What are you using to encode the mp3's and I assume you got lame encoder installed per the previous instructions [00:19] underdaws: are there documentation online? got an url? [00:19] nickrud: Nope, that doesn't work either. [00:19] Unfortunatley, without 755, or at least executable, permissions, I'm back at square one, lol [00:19] Is there any way to unlink a file specifically by its inode? [00:19] marginoferror, have you tried putting it in quotes? (my last lame suggestion) [00:19] apt-cache does not find "nvidia-glx-new" [00:19] Shpoo1: hmm.. then I don't know.. if it was your server you could perhaps hack sometihng up.. but now I don't know [00:19] Not some permutation of find that passes the name to rm, but simply unlinking the inode. [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: Yes I have lame installed, per the previous instructions. I am using grip. I can "rip" the file fine, as if it were a .wav file (around 32mb for a 3 minute track etc.), but when it comes to the encoding part, it just finishes and the file is around 2.0kb? [00:19] nickrud: yes. [00:20] Ste1: Ste1 do you see restricted in your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:20] xenthro: I can't resize a partition I'm using [00:20] BB88: gimme a sec to install grip and check something ok? [00:20] who ask ed for url [00:20] underdawg: I did [00:20] Slart: you there [00:20] okay [00:20] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, thank you. [00:20] http://www.fs-security.com/docs.php [00:20] Jack_Sparrow the cd doesnt have a problem - it works if i take out the scsi controller. wheres there a list of boot options? ive played with all_gneric_ide and libata.atapi_enabled=1. [00:20] My graphical shell (Nautilus) can't delete, move or rename the file... but it can open it with file-roller and unpack it properly [00:20] It's bizarre [00:20] Slart: lol me neither, thanks though [00:21] BB88: -V1 --vbr-new %w %m (i changed it from the default -V1 is a quality setting so it will ignore the bitrate) [00:21] Ikonia: im not sure if im looking at the right place, but i cant find "restricted" [00:21] It's not gonna be any easier if I have to always go into my host to change the permissions [00:21] Slart: see how basic it is? [00:21] erUSUL: V1 as in VBR? I just want it to rip at 320 Kbps CBR, if possible :D [00:21] Ste1: please go to "system --> Administration --> software sources" in the gui [00:21] marginoferror: are permissions ok? [00:22] i guess i could ask it this way... if I want to make a policy in iptables for a service to open to a whole ip range, how do i do it? [00:22] ok [00:22] underdawg: yes.. doesn't look like you can do "ranges" from that short manual [00:22] BB88: then leave the command line as is [00:22] underdawg: -source 192.168.1.0 [00:22] underdawg: for example [00:22] robdig: Yes. [00:22] That is where I am having the troubles, I am certain. [00:22] gladeir: pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or all_generic_ide are the ones I have used [00:22] robdig: 600 and owned by me. [00:23] underdawg: iptables can do ranges.. with netmasks or start-end I think [00:23] Slart: thanks for confirming [00:23] all Firstarter is is a front end for iptables im sure [00:23] BB88: you can set the bitrate on the other tab (Options) [00:23] indeed [00:23] Ikonia: i figured it out, thank you very much [00:23] I have done so. [00:23] Ste1: no problem [00:23] Ste1: welcome [00:23] underdawg, shorewall is a middle ground between iptables and firestarter, you might like it's flexibility. [00:24] marginoferror: if its the only .rar file you have, then maybe something like rm `ls *.rar` if you have more .rar files, this will get them too [00:24] apt-get install shorewall? [00:24] what is the best terminal program thats simple? [00:24] yes [00:24] okay, im trying it [00:24] BB88: have you gone into config and set the encoder under config/encode/encoder [00:24] TheZealot: program for what [00:24] Jack_Sparrow ill go try them now ... brb (also have laptop to put together :P) [00:24] TheZealot: gnome-terminal? [00:24] anyone wanna help a competent Ubuntu user with a sound issue? [00:24] underdawg, it's not a gui program, I should have mentioned [00:24] ikonia just a terminal... [00:24] picard_pwns_kirk I don't use vista... but recovery partitions are extremely annoying and often screw with partitioning.. which is what happened with me. When i got my laptop I formatted the whole thing, all partitions, used the ubuntu cd to create 3 partitions, then installed windows in the first partition [00:25] :( [00:25] Yes "lame" "/usr/bin/lame" [00:25] TheZealot: gnome-terminal, xterm, [00:25] !ask [00:25] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:25] xenthro: should I just do that? [00:25] nickrud: i suppose it has a man [00:25] BB88: not what I meant... in grip.... [00:25] robdig: Trust me, I've tried every permutation of that. The problem is with the filesystem recognition of the file, not my entering the name into the shell [00:25] underdawg, it has a complete doc package, shorewall-doc [00:25] Jack_Sparrow: As in Config >> Encode >> Encoder ? [00:25] thanks ikonia [00:25] ubotu: alright I have one of those 2 soundcard problems, but it's a little weirder than that [00:25] robdig: I would do rm -ri . if there weren't about 600 files in the directory [00:25] picard_pwns_kirk that is what "I" would recommend, based on years of frustration with pre-installed crap [00:26] BB88: yes [00:26] And that might not work either [00:26] marginoferror: tried running a diskcheck on the partition? sometimes weird filenames are due to disk errors [00:26] shank you [00:26] BB88: mp3encode [00:26] Jack_Sparrow: Then that would be a yes. [00:26] Jack_Sparrow: ? === Ttech is now known as The_Mater === The_Mater is now known as The_Master [00:26] Slart: It's NTFS so I think it is a legal filename and file under Windows but not under Linux w/ ntfs-fuse [00:26] * nickrud is batting about .280 recently, if he includes how complete his answers are ;( [00:26] I suspect this is a bug in ntfs-fuse that I will have to report [00:26] ubotu: I have my onboard sound disabled in the BIOS and Ubuntu is still detecting it. I've set my Sound Blaster card with asoundconf set-default-card Audigy2 already but the asound settings won't load until after you log in with GDM [00:26] marginoferror: aha.. try ntfs-3g or whatever it's called === The_Master is now known as The_Master__ [00:27] !ntfs [00:27] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:27] BB88: mp3encode or do you have it set to lame?

[00:33] but still i need help with streamripper... [00:33] BB88: I use ogg.... [00:33] Jack_Sparrow: Oh :( [00:33] Jack_Sparrow - nope ... didnt work [00:34] gladeir: install still hanging up? [00:35] Hey, I have a problem with Ubuntu detecting and using my onboard sound even though it's disabled in my BIOS and I've set my PCI soundcard to default with asoundconf set-default-card. Can anybody help me? I'm fairly competent with Ubuntu as well [00:35] Jack_Sparrow yep [00:35] BB88: are you just trying to rip cd's and make your own custom disks? [00:35] Jack_Sparrow its not actually getting to the gui - gets to the stage where its probing hard drives / cdroms [00:35] Hi folks. Is there any way to persuade network manager not to assign me a nameserver? [00:36] gladeir: and if you remove the scsi controller it goes through? [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: Just rip cd's at CBR 320 kb/s [00:36] rbanffy: modify your dhclicent.conf file to not request name servers [00:36] Jack_Sparrow yep - the scsi controller is 100% healthy, so is the sata controller [00:36] !info gparted [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: Or Rip and Encode in Grip's sense.

Version 0.3.3-2ubuntu6.1 (gutsy), package size 334 kB, installed size 1908 kB [00:36] Hey, I have a problem with Ubuntu detecting and using my onboard sound even though it's disabled in my BIOS and I've set my PCI soundcard to default with asoundconf set-default-card. Can anybody help me? [00:36] ikonia: I already deleted the mention to "domain-name-servers," in the request line [00:37] BB88: try ripping into oggs or flacs and burning one of those... [00:37] Jack_Sparrow - i have installed opensuse which worked fine. its a ubuntu based issue, but i dont know what the actual problem is. [00:37] rsvampire [00:37] rsvampire, Please only ask again every 5 minutes. The reason no one replied the first time is that [currently] no one knows the answer. [00:37] rbanffy: you can do stuff in the resolve.conf file too.. choose servers to use before using the ones dhcp suggests.. [00:37] gladeir: Have you tried the alt cd.. I have had to use it on more than a few sytems as well [00:37] rbanffy: and its still getting the name server info ? [00:37] SonicChao: ok thanks... I'll be more patient and wait then... [00:37] Jack_Sparrow - i'll give it a go [00:38] After executing the command -> sudo sh -c "echo bcm43xx >> /etc/modules" <-- for a wireless card, my friend's keyboard is having problems, any help? [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean burn them? I just want to extract audio files to my computer for playing without the cd. [00:38] Slart: But then every time I switch networks it overwrites my resolv.conf file [00:38] ikonia: Apparently yes [00:38] rbanffy: manual configuration in nm? [00:38] sorry for my ignorance, but what software would I use to create a remote session? ie: without logging into gnome, there's an option for an x session through another host?? [00:38] rbanffy: your server maybe forcing it, is it a stand alone machine or part of a cetral system ldap/nis+ etc [00:38] BB88: just ripping isnt working? I use sound juicer.... [00:38] !vnc | Huck [00:38] Huck: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [00:39] Jack_Sparrow: Sound Juicer is very uncustomizable ;) [00:39] ikonia: notebook with a D-Link router. [00:39] rbanffy: I'm not sure it has to do that.. but perhaps it's easier to make the dhcp server not send any dns servers [00:39] ok... so noone heres got experience with streamripper? [00:39] rbanffy: one moment [00:39] !soundjuicer > SonicChao [00:39] Jack_Sparrow: I have to have my music go /Artist/Year - Album/Artist - Album - ## - Title ;) [00:39] or how to rip your station from last.fm? [00:39] Slart: The D-Link software is not very helpful [00:39] rbanffy, chmod the resolv.conf to not be writable? [00:39] erUSUL: thanks, I've used that... but I have NXserver loaded now, but I remember a while back being able to choose the session at login and change it so I would login to a remote host/server. I can't find it now... this was a while ago. [00:39] rbanffy: D-Link software rarely is =) [00:39] Huck: http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=8&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.tldp.org%2FHOWTO%2FXDMCP-HOWTO%2F&ei=tdBhR_WWAYGMgwKEyLHNDw&usg=AFQjCNEgxMST46-245Qj4d6r4aYgf9GhhQ&sig2=t4_TmnNcIwvOD1ZYrqa4jA [00:40] woops [00:40] ckin2001: "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93 2007-12-13 21:15 /etc/resolv.conf" [00:40] http://happypixels.ca/2006/03/01/using-xdmcp-with-ubuntu-or-any-other-gdm-running-distro/ [00:40] svladcjelli: I think that's it!!

Can anybody help me? [00:42] blarg... I had an ATI card, I bought a new nVidia card and of course X fails. I tried dpkg-reconfigure, that failed. I tried envy, that failed... what now?

[00:43] svladcjelli: yep [00:43] Huck: yes, I have... and Ubuntu still likes to detect my onboard sound first. Reinstalling the ALSA drivers does nothing for me [00:43] folks, does anyone here know where to get onboard intel drivers or some video-driver-manager software for intel GMA 910/915? cuz i want to dl the latest version and i already tried the envy software, but it seems to work only for nvidia/ati drivers package. can anyone help me with this?

(Celeron D, Prescott core) [00:46] jqubuntu: i have a feeling this is not possible [00:46] jqubuntu, its possible, but not worth it to only do it once [00:47] Anybody use 'Grip' to Rip and Encoder .mp3 files?

[01:10] Hello, I want to connect to a L2TP/IPSec VPN server, does anyone know how to do it? or maybe to point me some vpn client? [01:11] Shpool never heard of them? is it possible you can just change the settings through a control panel on thier site? [01:11] apocn_, the plugins for network manager work very well for all the vpns i need to connect to [01:11] When I insert CD or DVD a window open asking me if I want to burn... but when I insert DVD+R DL, nothing open and I can't burn, I have an error: There was an error writing to the disc: Unhandled error, aborting (I'm on gutsy AMD 64bits) === gladeir is now known as gladier [01:12] ckin2001: did you have to install something additionally? [01:12] got disconnected [01:12] im using ubuntu 7.10 [01:12] jason: I've been looking, but the only FTP setting I can change is my password. the CP is horrible, and they don't allow for customization of much. I can't even find where to change file permissions. [01:12] can i post a link ? [01:12] is there a way to switch sessions from gnome to xfce from CLI? [01:12] apocn_, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-ubuntu-fedora-linux-pptp-client.html for the vpn connection try this?

[01:13] apocn_ your welcome [01:14] is spamassassin the prefered solution for multiuser filtering? [01:14] fourier__, do you mean use ssh without passwords? yes if so [01:14] ivan, it uses heavy cpu [01:14] bucky100: hit Alt-F2, and type in "gnome-panel" [01:14] ivan, i use google enterprise for mail and they filter all spam and its free? how can one go wrong [01:14] jason_ubuntuislo: i've got 4, so cpu isn't a prob, but false positives are [01:14] I'm writing a letter to my MP. what's a good description of opensource/freesoftware that's persuasive but not technical? [01:14] i can't outsource to google [01:15] how do I switch between channels in weechat? [01:15] now i mean avoid this:"The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established. [01:15] RSA key fingerprint is c6:4f:6c:99:be:7d:37:41:bb:e0:c1:ae:ac:4d:99:11. [01:15] Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " [01:15] stop generating new ssh server keys? [01:15] fourier__, use pastebin.org to post or u flood the channel [01:15] sorry [01:15] fourier__, that only comes up once though [01:15] fourier__, you add the key to your known keys in the .ssh directory in your /home [01:16] fourier__, the ssh client adds to known hosts file under .ssh under your home directory [01:16] hdevalence: low cost? [01:16] !pastebin > fourier__ [01:17] i wanted to create a live cd that will create an mpi farm in a lan automatically there fore i wont know the host keys when i compile the cd [01:17] lockd: the letter isn't really about f/oss, but there's a part where I want to say "A person who wanted to use a movie player whose source code was freely available (for why someone would want to do this, try reading this website ...) [01:17] fourier__, wow thats beyond what i was thinking you were doing? [01:17] fourier__: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1806 [01:18] tells you how to disable strict checking etc [01:18] it's about drm circumvention [01:18] thanks [01:18] svladcjelli, nice [01:18] but that renders ssh basically insecure [01:18] When I insert CD or DVD a window open asking me if I want to burn... but when I insert DVD+R DL, nothing open and I can't burn, I have an error: There was an error writing to the disc: Unhandled error, aborting (I'm on gutsy AMD 64bits) [01:18] i know butt its suposed to work on live cds in safe lans.. [01:19] or alot less secure.. just understand what you are doing if it is a public machine [01:19] Anyone know how I can switch between open channels in WeeChat? [01:19] fourier__, what is a mpi farm? [01:19] Hiya boys. Anyone knows how to adjust the brightness on a laptop? Im using xubuntu [01:19] I think I've asked before, but I've forgotten. Is there a way to have a Windows user easily (easily relative to most of Windows) and securely encrypt some files and send them to me in such a way that I can decrypt them with the software available in Ubuntu? [01:19] Assume that we have a perfectly secure medium to exchange a small amount of information (e.g. a password) [01:19] JordiGH: look into gpg [01:19] xzased, cant you use the buttons on the keyboard? or are you on battery power? [01:19] i might soun catshy but its the most common way off parellel computing.... [01:19] fourier__, cool [01:19] xzased: try looking in the power manager. should be a little power icon down somewhere [01:19] hdevalence: well, DVD for instance must use DRM circumvention on Linux (and probably others), or you simply can't play it [01:20] !info weechat [01:20] weechat: Fast, light and extensible IRC client. In component universe, is optional.

[01:20] lockd: That's what it's about. [01:20] Ok, let me try both suggestions. Thanks :) [01:20] TheZealot, Weechat? [01:20] xzased, i know on my laptop i have an FN key which ubuntu doesnt play well it could be the same What is your laptop model? [01:20] !info weechat [01:20] the gov.t is about to be evil [01:20] Dassouki: check/repair? [01:20] hdevalence: lawsuit? [01:20] JordiGH, that is not secure. nowhere near secure. You can do it with scp and gpg. [01:20] hdevalence, what is gov.t [01:20] but it isn't what you want to do [01:20] Dassouki: I would use fdisk be4hand and then just choose the right partitions in installer [01:21] government [01:21] for encryption of files, gpg, for email, enigmail [01:21] and everyone should use it as much as possible [01:21] Dassouki, I use gpart live cd [01:21] Canada's getting a new copyright law. AKA conservative government sells out to **AA [01:21] its a toshiba a105 [01:21] i might be using the terms wrong... what i meant is a live cd tha will provide mpi capabilities for all pcs booted in the same cd in a particular lan.... [01:21] with the fn key [01:21] so I'm writing a letter [01:21] +1 [01:22] if it works well i ll post something... [01:22] Dassouki: i'd secoind usi9ng the gparted Lifve CD.. I've had nohting but probs out of Gparted and Gutsy(although I have gotten QTparted to work) [01:22] fourier__, cool thanks [01:22] and I'm talking about legitamate uses for DRM-circumvention [01:22] morning all [01:22] Jack_Sparrow, simplechat, svladcjelli: Is there a simple interface for gpg from Windows I can use? And oh, the exchange of actual information will happen over sneakernet, because it's too large to fit over internet. [01:22] so f-oss is kinda tangential. [01:22] jason_ubuntuislo, yaa . svladcjelli, ya i will try that i was tryign to take the easy way out IndyGunFreak i'll try that right now actually, that soudns great ... [01:22] list [01:22] hdevalence: US has been compared to police of the world; it stems from this place [01:22] i thank you people... [01:22] Dassouki, yes your welcome [01:22] fourier__, your welcome [01:23] lockd: I know... [01:23] JordiGH, gpg4win ? [01:23] http://www.gnupg.org/download/ [01:23] lockd, US is getting riduculous [01:23] I've just used the Ubuntu i386 DVD.iso here with no probs [01:23] I have a question [01:23] hdevalence, there are illegitimate uses? ;D [01:23] Ryuki what is it? [01:23] !ask | Ryuki [01:23] Ryuki: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:23] Ryuki: well we have no anwser unless of course you ask your question [01:24] * IndyGunFreak reads Ryuki 's mind.. [01:24] so i don't want to go into way detail about why f/oss is good, but i don't want them to be 'why use vlc when you could use wmp? it's free after all...' [01:24] etc.. [01:24] simplechat: One thing I don't understand. gpg4win seems to be for encryping emails. Can I easily encrypt and decrypt individual files? Like I said, the actual exchange will be over sneakernet. [01:24] ok. I had a problem, I know this is not related to Ubuntu, but I used Damn Small Linux and I have a unmountable drive, how do I fix it? I have Ubuntu Live CDs. [01:24] how can I make my x1900xt card work well in ubuntu? currently im using vesa drivers and have only 800x600 resolution [01:24] hdevalence: chances are this letter will not be read at all [01:24] !readline [01:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about readline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:24] hmm .where is the power management? [01:25] Ryuki cant you use mount command [01:25] lockd: actually, it's a letter to my MP, so i think there's a good chance [01:25] tried that. [01:25] wait. [01:25] xLE, what are you needing for readline? [01:25] IndyGunFreak, error: /ryuki/mind not found [01:25] ;D [01:25] what is the default name for a harddrive? [01:25] lockd: if it were a letter to the prime minister , yeah [01:25] libreadline.so.4 [01:25] Ryuki: fdisk -l [01:26] Ryuki yes use fdisk -l [01:26] I can try. [01:26] wait [01:26] xLE [01:26] I forgot to tell you. [01:26] xLE one sec [01:26] it won't let me boot in Linux [01:26] what should I do? [01:26] JordiGH, i haven't touched windows in years, so thats just something i remembered using. you could try pgp possibly, if your just doing an encrypted data store. [01:26] okay. [01:26] Ryuki thats many possibilites for that? [01:26] Ryuki: youre sure you don't have a bad harddrive? [01:27] It's old and it failed lol [01:27] but It still works [01:27] I installed it [01:27] and it works [01:27] Ryuki, #damnsmalllinux [01:27] but I knew I need a new harddrive because it had bad sectors. [01:27] Ryuki: Are you running DSL right now? [01:28] xLE, try searching for libreadline* [01:28] No. [01:28] sudo aptitude search libread* [01:28] i have installed that package. [01:28] how do I remove a package? [01:28] I am using the other computer that have Windows XP home Edition, it sucked. [01:28] xLE, sudo apt-get remove [01:28] simplechat: gpg can interact with gpg, right? [01:28] Er, with pgp, right? [01:28] xLE, then specify the name of the package [01:29] xLE, does that help? [01:29] But I tried Ubuntu and loved it. [01:29] but I need a better computer for it. [01:29] Ryuki: I'm trying to say that this is the Ubuntu support channel and we can't help you with DSL. [01:29] Ryuki, are you trying better resources try xubuntu [01:29] I know. [01:29] hullo ubuntu; I have a question: is there anyway I can access the network manager or the GDM manager from a terminal? I just recently got fluxbox, and now can't get back to gnome because the GDM theme i got doesn't have a session changer, for some reason. [01:29] sorry. [01:29] Found the answer for brightness: xgamma -gamma x.x [01:29] anyone able to answer a quick question [01:29] JordiGH, i don't know, google? what exactly do you need to do. are you encrypting for transit? or what? [01:29] i'll remove a 64bit package, and install a different one and try that. [01:29] Hm. [01:29] okay. [01:29] Neodudeman, try NetworkManager [01:30] can multiple cron jobs be scheduled for the exact same time? [01:30] need to get flash player installed [01:30] But how do I burn Xubuntu in correct way? [01:30] Neodudeman, that will start the network manager program [01:30] Neodudeman: it probably uses xdm just sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [01:30] xLE, good luck [01:30] Ryuki, what do you mean? burn a specific way??? [01:30] I burned Xubuntu in all different speed [01:31] it won't work [01:31] I think I did something wrong. [01:31] [splith] [01:31] @jason_ubuntuislo: doh. I didn't capitalize the N or M when i tried that command before. lol thanks [01:31] can multiple cron jobs be scheduled for the exact same time? [01:31] ?1 [01:31] anyone i need a way to install flash player 9 [01:31] qwaz: yes [01:31] qwaz: yes [01:31] qwaz: sure [01:31] mneptok, thank you [01:31] Ryuki really interesting ive never run into that problem? is it possible you can try it on a windows box [01:31] qwaz: sure [01:31] et al [01:31] how? [01:31] Neodudeman, your welcome [01:31] mikefoo: you can install it by hand from adobe's website for now [01:31] kitche: ? [01:31] micah: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:32] i dont know how im a noob [01:32] hey all [01:32] how do i get lspci? [01:32] simplechat: Okay, in brief, my girlfriend is mailing in a dvd some sensitive files that customs officials have no business poking into. :-) [01:32] kantlivelong: you type "lspci" [01:32] mneptok: is that package fixed? [01:32] simplechat: And she's very ungeeky. [01:32] tried that im running the 64 bit fiesty [01:32] kantlivelong: should have it already [01:32] sunogbaga: "fixed?" [01:32] mneptok: doing that only didn't get mine working I have to download from adobe also! [01:32] does it work on normal useR [01:32] ? [01:32] mneptok: yeah read the topic :) [01:32] kandinski, it comes with ubuntu [01:32] kandinski, but try sudo before running command [01:33] JordiGH, how big, roughtly? [01:33] mneptok: last time i checked this package is broken,, flashplugin-nonfree i mean [01:33] simplechat: several gigs of homemade pr0n. [01:33] ugh ... what MOTU broke it. grrrr [01:33] sunogbaga: it is [01:33] micah, ive gotten rid of 64bit its not faster its much slower on my laptop and too many issues for programs for me [01:33] mneptok: adobe broke it :) they changed the tar package [01:33] mikefoo: thnx [01:33] micah: there is no Flash 9 for x86-64 [01:34] Ryuki really interesting ive never run into that problem? is it possible you can try it on a windows box <-- what wwindows box? [01:34] can i run the 32 bit version on my comp [01:34] JordiGH, ah. nice. uh, use winrar to make one large archive and use its inbuilt password protection with a large strong password [01:34] you mean here? [01:34] lspci isnt working [01:34] Ryuki lol well i assumed you had access? [01:34] !flash64 | micah this should tell you [01:34] micah this should tell you: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [01:34] micah, sure you can [01:34] (well, make one archive, then make a passworded archive of that archive.) [01:34] how? [01:34] simplechat: And can I unrar with Ubuntu's free unrar? [01:34] micah: should even tell you how to install it from adobe site as well if you wanted [01:34] you say windows box [01:34] which one? [01:34] hi, i [01:34] JordiGH, winzip's pswd protection is broken, winrars is still strong, iirc. [01:34] JordiGH, yeah [01:34] JordiGH, just give us a torrent? :) [01:35] ok brb [01:35] simplechat: You wish. That's why I want encryption in the first place. ;-) [01:35] Ryuki no i meant your box to burn it at home? how are you burning it with what program [01:35] how do you create a ssh alias? so that instead of typing ssh user@host everytime i can just type ssh desktop [01:35] JordiGH, lol, kk :) [01:35] I tried Nero, MagiccISO [01:35] all burning programs [01:35] they don't do what I want. [01:35] matthew4, you can set in /etc/hosts [01:36] Ryuki, arent they windows programs? [01:36] Yes. [01:36] jason_ubuntuislo: on which computer? [01:36] Ryuki: did you md5sum the .iso you downloaded? [01:36] Ryuki, on windows i used imageburn [01:36] Ryuki: isorecorder freeware for windows [01:36] Umm.. no? [01:36] matthew4: use a shell alias [01:36] But I will when I build my own new computer [01:36] Ryuki yes imageburn checks and verifies after burn but so does nero too [01:36] cool. [01:37] matthew4, yours [01:37] simplechat: Kay, thanks for the idea. [01:37] ok [01:37] mneptok: will ssh support alias or do you mean just alias ssh user@host so he just has to type desktop? [01:37] Now I have to find a good ISO [01:37] matthew4, you use like this command sudo gedit /etc/hosts [01:37] which FS rulez for flash? [01:37] Ryuki did you use bittorrent [01:37] kitche: alias desktop='ssh user@host' [01:37] yes [01:37] jason_ubuntuislo: gksudo for gui apps// please [01:37] utorrent is best [01:37] :) [01:38] Ryuki i had issue on that when downloading i got bad burned iso's too [01:38] AH! [01:38] jason_ubuntuislo: sudo for apps like gedit will come back to bite you [01:38] Ryuki: did you get uTorrent working in Ubuntu? [01:38] mneptok: yeah I was thinking of that to but alas I don't know bash that much :) [01:38] the garbe code thingy on your screen? [01:38] * Ryuki shrugs [01:38] Jack_Sparrow, i figured he would like it easier then vim [01:38] kitche: neither do i. i use zsh. it's 2007, after all. ;) [01:38] garbage* [01:38] I need xubuntu ISO [01:38] Jack_Sparrow, ohh you mean for permissions yes [01:38] * nickrud sniffs at youth [01:38] didnt work [01:39] matthew4, use gksudo gedit /etc/hosts and add your host there [01:39] kept going right back to desktop [01:39] I am having trouble installing the nvidia beta driver. Log file is located at http://rafb.net/p/rcZ6eh88.html Any help is appreciated. [01:39] jason_ubuntuislo: matthew4, you use like this command sudo gedit /etc/hosts is a bad suggestion [01:39] jason_ubuntuislo: sudo cannot be used mith GUI appsd [01:39] -d [01:39] how do you use /etc/hosts ? i can' [01:39] mneptok, yes my bad [01:39] matthew4: use a shell alias [01:39] i can't find any examples that uses the @ symbol [01:39] mneptok, i use vi [01:39] matthew4: do NOT ediut /etc/hosts [01:39] mneptok: don't want to do it that way [01:40] mneptok, we use /etc/hosts for at work then you can add many hosts names [01:40] matthew4: editing /etc/hosts is not the best approach [01:40] hi how do i remove all packages installed from a particular repo? [01:40] I'm searching the torrent for Xubuntu now. [01:40] jason_ubuntuislo: trust me, i know what /etc/hosts does ;) [01:40] matthew4, yes i can help you edit it though [01:40] menptok: what do you suggest instead? [01:40] etfb: a shell alias [01:40] mneptok: ok, give me a recommendation that doesn't involve shell aliases. i want this to be universal. [01:40] found it [01:41] matthew4, mneptok is right shell alias is better since most users only need one alias [01:41] matthew4: "universal?" [01:41] mneptok: ah, I came into this conversation late; I guess your answer doesn't apply to the thing I was thinking of. Never mind [01:41] matthew4: what does that mean? [01:41] matthew4, well what is it shell alias wont do for you?> [01:41] hvgotcodes, in sytem-admin-synaptic, press the origin button [01:41] matthew4: you want it to work for all users on the system? [01:41] mneptok: meaning a file that belongs to ssh, not a file that is dependent on which shell I happen to be using at the time [01:42] ok, i just plugged in a new logitech mouse, how do i get ubuntu to recognise the buttons correctly [01:42] matthew4, if your comfortable you can look at "man hosts" [01:42] ikonia, the problem with the SMP issue is solved now, thanks. But there's another issue with googleearth. According to apt-get it is installed, but there's no entry on the menu and it won't start from the CLI either. Any ideas? Thanks. [01:42] basically reinstall the mouse [01:42] need some help here [01:42] hello guys, i have ubuntu installed, any way to get KDE working instead gnome without install kubuntu? [01:42] CokeNCode: I generally have no trouble just plugging in mice. What are your symptoms? [01:42] dor0, you can install kde-desktop [01:42] jason_ubuntuislo: done it, they give no examples that includes the user@host which is how i SSH in [01:42] dor0, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:43] dor0: install the kde-desktop package, but it can be flakey at times [01:43] dor0: just install the other wm... [01:43] matthew4, you can create a bash file? [01:43] I have 7Zip installed, but how can I run it? [01:43] matthew4: umm then you are stuck using /etc/hosts and you don't put user@host in the hosts file at all you put ip then host but myself I just use shell scripts :) [01:43] matthew4: sudo echo alias desktop='ssh user@desktop' >> /etc/profile [01:43] downloading the torrent [01:43] :) [01:43] matthew4: there you go [01:43] and how to tell ubuntu to load my KDE desktop at boot instead gnome? [01:43] matthew4, what is it your trying to do? [01:44] dor0: under sessions when you login [01:44] dor0, choose it under options -> sessions on login [01:44] dor0: there's a session menu that defaults to your last choice [01:44] dor0, once kde is installed the main screen at GDM you have an option to change session [01:44] * jason_ubuntuislo holy cow look at the support on this channel [01:44] mneptok: not the approach i was looking for, thanks anyways [01:44] nice thanks [01:44] need help with gparted [01:44] CokeNCode - what sort of mouse? [01:44] a three button mouse [01:44] ubotu, whats wrong? please explain? === eljo__ is now known as eljo [01:45] matthew4: that's the approach that is recommended. editing your hosts file is not. [01:45] well, it's a roller ball kinda thing actually [01:45] nickrud: to confirm what i am seeing, for the origin i am seeing all packages, installed and not installed? [01:45] where u move the ball with ur thumb [01:45] gladier, any suggestions ? [01:45] jason_ubuntuislo: like talking to a bot that won't respone :P [01:45] matthew4, editing hosts is not for the faint hearted but i use it since i do networking too [01:45] :) [01:45] i immediately get connection refused when I try to ssh/vnc into a computer on my lan, what should I check? [01:45] CokeNCode: is it new hardware or fairly old? [01:45] CokeNCode model? and usb/ps2? [01:45] * jason_ubuntuislo hahhaha [01:45] CokeNCode: i use one [01:45] jason_ubuntuislo: how do you add the user to the /etc/hosts? [01:46] etfb, kinda oldish [01:46] kitche what how did you know that was a bot? [01:46] ps2 [01:46] CokeNCode: Trackman Marble? [01:46] Anyone had issues installing Googleearth? [01:46] hvgotcodes, yes, for each component [01:46] can i install win ofc in ubuntu? [01:46] mneptok, that's it ! [01:46] matthew4, you cant do that you can only add hosts to ip in etc hosts [01:46] cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd [01:46] CokeNCode: what doesn't work? [01:46] jeeze, i'm giving some really bad information here, sorry guys [01:46] lgc: whats the prob [01:46] !bot | jason_ubuntuislo [01:46] jason_ubuntuislo: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:46] mneptok, the buttons [01:46] sigh [01:46] can i install microsoft ofc in ubuntu? [01:46] shootz: doesn't work very well. I recommend Open Office instead. [01:46] * mneptok 's Marble works splendidly [01:46] it's basically only using one button right now [01:46] CokeNCode: any of them? [01:46] the one furthest to the right [01:46] oh ok etfb [01:46] kitche i guess i was bored? [01:47] so, if i select the right handed option [01:47] i can left click [01:47] shootz: Yes with wine [01:47] ok -- and i was told to remove all software from 3rd party repors (like compiz and e17) and those repos entries from sources before upgrading from feisty to gutsy [01:47] CokeNCode: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:47] is that good advice? [01:47] and if i select the left handed option, i can right click [01:47] shootz: be aware: it takes some getting used to, but it's pretty good. Worth the time. [01:47] hvgotcodes, excellent advice you got [01:47] cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd [01:47] CokeNCode: do NOT emulate a three button mouse when asked [01:47] Jack_Sparrow, according to Synaptics, it is installed, but I can't make it work. Even when I reinstalled it, it only downloaded 65 KB (!!). [01:47] I have 7-Zip installed. How can I run this program? [01:47] thanks... gonna try that [01:47] <[reed]> so, if bulletproof-x always causes me to use xorg.conf.failsafe, how am I ever going to debug my Xorg problems? [01:47] * mneptok tootles off for food [01:47] ubuntu_ what is the error your getting [01:48] ubuntu_, you should change your name its close to a bot name [01:48] BB88: p7zip I believe is the command for it been a while sicne I ran 7zip *nix version [01:48] jason_ubuntuislo: then it seems like i can't do what i want to do, which is type ssh desktop and login to my remote computer. this bites [01:48] mneptok, how do i keep my other settings [01:48] i don't wanna change anything else [01:48] :S [01:48] matthew4, you can just make a shell script you want me to show you how? [01:48] hvgotcodes, remove the sources from your list, update, then look under status, installed (local or obsolete), that's a good shortcut for what you are doing [01:48] kitche: How would I browse to the "executable" file and add it to my main panel? [01:49] mneptok, will pressing esc for everything else [01:49] jason_ubuntuislo: i know how to make bash scripts, that's not the approach i want though. i don't want to add a file that doesn't already exist on my computer [01:49] keep my settings as they are ? [01:49] lgc: when I did mine it wasnt in the repos. here is how I installed it.. hope it helps in some way.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48161/ === shootz is now known as xxx_ [01:49] BB88: huh 7zip is a command line program in *nix [01:49] Having trouble with knetworkmanager: it won't automatically connect to my wireless access point. Worked fine in 7.04, not working in Gutsy. Any clues? [01:49] nickrud: so remove the sources from the list and that udpate, and that will remove all the extra softwarez? [01:49] mneptok, which mouse port should i choose ? [01:49] http://pastebin.org/11540 [01:49] /dev/input/mice ? [01:49] CokeNCode: did for me. It's pretty safe. [01:50] matthew4, look at that it is how you can use what you asked [01:50] BB88: *nix as in Terminal? [01:50] it's ps2 [01:50] matthew4, if im missing something let me try to help you [01:50] CokeNCode: /dev/input/mice [01:50] hvgotcodes, doing that will orphan them, not remove them. synaptic will sort the orphaned ones into that status section for easy removal [01:50] ImPS/2 [01:50] yup [01:50] or ExplorerPS/2 ? [01:50] IM [01:50] BB88: *nix as in operating system like linux Unix BSD [01:50] how do i kill all vnc sessions? [01:51] how the heck would i know which protocol my mouse is using :S === [DnH]`Lapinou`sn is now known as d3sty [01:51] underdawg, you can do ps aux to see its PID # [01:51] jason_ubuntuislo: it seems like the linux guys would have already thought of this and built a way in. i can't be the first person who got tired of writing [01:51] CokeNCode: it comes to you in a lucid dream [01:51] kitche: I am just assuming 7-Zip in Linux is the same as 7-Zip on Windows? [01:51] underdawg, then do a sudo kill -9 PID# [01:51] usename at symbol and long IP addrss... [01:51] underdawg, killall vnc I think would be a quick method [01:51] CokeNCode: I use a logitec trackball and I use explorerPS-2 [01:51] mneptok, i only remember my nightmares ... although, I guess that would make sense [01:51] matthew4, well i think your looking to do what? a inline param? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:51] BB88: well it is but you need to run it in Terminal since it's p7zip think there is a gui frontend to it as well [01:51] thanks Jack_Sparrow [01:51] matthew4: they did think of it. they created shell aliases. [01:52] so why shouldn't i emulate 3-button mouse again ? [01:52] hmm how to remove a source? [01:52] matthew4: feel free to re-invent the wheel, though ;) [01:52] how do I get my computer to use more ram? [01:52] in fact [01:52] i won't ask questions [01:52] matthew4, matt you know you can make a dynamic script for passing it info [01:52] i'll just follow instructions [01:52] it is a 3 button mouse tho [01:52] np.. hope it helps.. it just worked.. let me know if you need to see my xorg [01:52] kitche: Yes I am looking for the frontend, I have installed it through sudo via terminal, and depos. [01:52] CokeNCode: that's a good soldier! [01:52] cant format linux-swamp partition with gparted, running from live cd [01:52] mneptok: that's not a good method though. there are dozens of shells. i don't want to edit dozens of config files. [01:52] CokeNCode: emulating 3-btn mice just translates simultaneous left+right click as a middle click [01:52] BB88, If you want to use 7-zip in file roller install p7zip-full [01:52] matthew4: i told how to do it [01:53] matthew4: sudo echo alias desktop='ssh user@desktop' >> /etc/profile [01:53] ubuntu_: it can create one. dont think it actually formatted it though [01:53] oh, ok [01:53] hmmm [01:53] matthew4, can you paste a few examples to pastebin for me? i want to see what your doing [01:53] nothing changed [01:53] mouse still screwy [01:53] is there a final step here ? [01:53] CokeNCode: ensure the mouse is not physically broken? [01:53] ubuntu_, yes you can format also with fdisk ? why do you need to format it? [01:54] mneptok: ? this will work with all shells, even those I don't have installed currently? all shells use this /etc/profile file? will this also work with all users on my computer (current and future)? [01:54] mneptok, nawww [01:54] CokeNCode: does it work perfectly in another OS or system? [01:54] Jack_Sparrow, i think i might need to take a peak at the config file of yours my friend [01:54] CokeNCode: sorry, I was not following along.. I told mine to emulate 3 button and selected explorer over the other option [01:54] time to get down n dirty [01:54] Ah! there's a #kubuntu channel! I'll ask there. Shiny. [01:54] matthew4: correct. all login shells source /etc/profile for all users. [01:54] Jack_Sparrow, I downloaded it from the repo on my machine. And when I cloned the install on this one, it just seems not to be there (although Synaptic disagrees). [01:54] CokeNCode: let me post it [01:54] k [01:54] hey who was around the other day when LimCore was asking how to make sudo ask for root password instead of the user's password? the answer turns out to be in the sudoers manpage [01:55] want to because i cant acces if from winxp [01:55] lgc: of you got it yourself.. look at the page I linked [01:55] buttercups: What do you mean, sorry? I have used 'sudo apt-get install p7zip-full' but it says I have it already installed (assuming via depos). [01:55] macogw, what section? [01:55] mneptok, ive never used /etc/profile except for oracle is this what its for? [01:55] nickrud: Defaults. you add "rootpw" [01:55] mneptok, jason_ubuntuislo: ok thanks to you both, i will try the /etc/profile method, but i hope i never have to edit one of these config files again, i hate repeating set-up stuff. thanks to you both. [01:55] hello, good morning [01:55] I did... you did a manual install. I've gotten too lazy for such things, after apt. Only when there's no other choice... [01:56] nickrud: er, well the "sudoers options" section of the manpage. you put "rootpw" in the defaults section though [01:56] matthew4, your welcome [01:56] is there any emulator which able to run MAC OS X application on top of Ubuntu? [01:56] CokeNCode: here is mine http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48162/ [01:56] eko_hermiyanto, no [01:56] thanks buddy [01:56] macogw, just found it, thanks. Good to know [01:56] * jason_ubuntuislo gezz even my boss isnt that picky? [01:56] bruenig, ohhhh my bad day :( [01:56] matthew4: /etc/profile is for sh shells [01:56] I need adobe flash cs3 badly for my work [01:57] eko_hermiyanto, use windows [01:57] Jack_Sparrow, gotta go now. Thanks for your help. [01:57] nickrud: there's also an option to make it ask for the pw of whomever you're sudo-ing as (since you can sudo as someone other than root too) [01:57] eko_hermiyanto, theres a howto to use wine but its not that great [01:57] np welcome to ubuntu [01:57] eko_hermiyanto, if you find a better way let me know [01:57] macogw: if you sudo as root there is no point of using sudo then :) [01:57] macogw, yes, targetpw, reading the man page again for a while [01:57] eko_hermiyanto, theres also a way to make gimp look sorta like photoshop research gimpshop [01:58] eko_hermiyanto: have you considered running VMWare Server (which is free-as-in-beer) and installing Windows as a virtual machine? It's slow, but it's better than nothing [01:58] Jack_Sparrow: I got it working in the end. [01:58] Hi I'm new to ubuntu and found a circular package reference (a broken package). where dos this get reported to (at)? [01:58] eko_hermiyanto, actually etfb is right and you can install 2X server and run it as an app on ubuntu i do this at work [01:58] jason_ubuntuislo, I am using Wine every day, and I think it's great piece of software. I am using wine to run software to view mdi files, remote administrator, respak, and triton, but alas, my flash is for mac :( [01:58] BB88: Glad to hear it.. [01:58] kitche, there was a guy that had a use case that made some sense, like a lab where firefox pops up the install flash request, and the admin puts in the root passwd for the user [01:58] samstern: are you sure since not all repos are enabled by default [01:59] nickrud: so sort of like gksu [01:59] etfb, I am using qemu to run windows too and it works good(only the network system is not run yet) [01:59] kitche: no no, it forces regular users to know the root password to use sudo [01:59] kitche, yes [01:59] eko_hermiyanto, yes i agree but wine cannot do it for all win programs [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: It was because my rip output file was the same name as the encode file, so it could not overwrite ;) [01:59] mneptok: your method did not work, says: bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied [01:59] Kitche: yes -- I've manualy enabled the server (or Iw ould never have enabled the libgd2 software afaik) [01:59] BB88: glad to hear it was something simple.. sorry we could not see that from here [01:59] kitche: so you avoid "su -" login, do stuff, "exit", do more as not-root [01:59] eko_hermiyanto, vmware has a free version for vmware-server edition and it has great bridging features compared to virtualbox [01:59] kitche, the solution was setting the gconf key for gksu , but the sudo one is worth knowing [01:59] macogw: I know just that it sounds kind of redundent to me [02:00] jason_ubuntuislo, yes, unless we copy native dll into wine :)) [02:00] kitche: but who knows? I'm new to ubuntu and its been a while since used debian based stuff [02:00] Jack_Sparrow: Heh, my own fault, but I got there in the end. Thank you anyhow! [02:00] ok [02:00] eko_hermiyanto, i think i tried that once what did you use to track which dll's it was using [02:00] copied the iinfo [02:00] jason_ubuntuislo, I think I should give vmware a try :D [02:00] now to reboot [02:00] samstern: well there is three repos multiverse universe and main main is enabled by default [02:00] good morning everyone [02:00] macogw: but I know what you mean since kde does it if it's setup correctly [02:00] eko_hermiyanto, i use that and check out the free 2X program you want a link to that too? [02:00] kitche - where in the ux (or via cli) would I check whats enabled? [02:00] BB88: np take care stop in any time.. It is a good place just to read along when you have time [02:00] kitche: four - restricted [02:01] kitche: In current releases, all 4 are enabled by default. [02:01] http://www.2x.com/ [02:01] I've had prbs with Wine running Adobe Audition. The buttons don't look the same under Wine(configured to look like XP)as they do Windows [02:01] ok, so fluxbox is stuck as my default session, and I can't seem to change it because my GDM theme doesn't have a session button; is there a way to change it from the terminal? [02:01] kitche: it could save time if you needed to switch between root and regular commands a lot i guess. it still seems silly to me to use root's pw there instead of your own overall, but the use case given was they didnt want the user to have permission to do anything at all, and so the admin would walk over if root access was needed [02:01] tonyyarusso: oh did not know that but I always thought restricted was part of multiverse [02:01] kitche: for gksu there's an option in gconf to use sudo mode or not, but i'm talking about command line sudo right now [02:01] jason_ubuntuislo, yes thanks bro [02:01] OMG, my desktop cube is working!!!! === iamtooawesome is now known as whoabadass [02:02] your welcome eko_hermiyanto === whoabadass is now known as iamtooawesome [02:02] kitche: Nope. Restricted is officially supported for Canonical support contracts, and is things like firmware, whereas multiverse is not supported and has a broader range of software in it. [02:02] dor0, now, does suspend still work ;) [02:02] hey ive got a question anyone know why dual monitors have so much trouble with nvidia drivers? [02:02] brb [02:02] jason_ubuntuislo: any other ideas? i couldn't edit /etc/profile for some reason [02:02] I'm looking for a browser bookmarks sync service that will work with both Firefox and Epiphany - any recommendations? [02:02] tonyyarusso: del.icio.us? [02:03] tonyyarusso: or if you're an OpenID fan, ma.gnolia.com [02:03] matthew4, sudo sh -c echo "alias desktop='ssh user@host' [02:03] <^KK^|irssi> hi [02:03] mate, the only reason i boot in windows is to play some stupid games, i have ubuntu from 1 month, and i cant stop using it [02:03] I h ad trouble at first setting up my dual monitors because the nvidia tool couldn't right to the configuration file due to permitions. [02:03] kitche: I've checked "Software sources" and all boxes under 2rd party and cannocial software are checked [02:03] macogw: I'll look into those - not really familiar with how they work though [02:03] samstern: what software are you trying to install anyways === iamtooawesome is now known as iamtooawesome_ === pras__ is now known as SR71-Blackbird1 [02:04] matthew4, erm, add a finishing " to that line [02:04] tonyyarusso: they store your bookmarks online so you can access them anywhere === SR71-Blackbird1 is now known as SR71-Blackbird [02:04] kitche: those 3rd party are "partner", "PArtner source", "MEdia" and "Wine" (which I added, cant' live without wine!!) [02:04] macogw: How do they integrate with the browser itself? [02:04] tonyyarusso, we use del.icio.us to share bookmarks at work, firefox has several extensions [02:05] tonyyarusso: ive never use magnolia, but delicious has a firefox extension [02:05] tonyyarusso: idk about epiphany extension, but they're also browser-based [02:05] first of all.. please apologize my bad english, but would someone of you guys please be so kind and point me to the right direction to start with my network-problem? the situation is as follows: i removed the old mainboard from my ubuntu server (Gigabyte K8NS Ultra939 Nforce3 or 4 chipset) and replaced it with a socket 775 mainboard which chipset i dont really know.. and now my eth0 interface is gone.. (before i used the nforce nic) and now ls === iamtooawesome_ is now known as iamtooawesome [02:05] kitchie and tonyrusso get ready for text blob [02:05] nickrud, macogw: cool [02:05] What program can I use to make an MP3 cd on Ubuntu [02:05] nickrud: same thing. says bash: /etc/profile: Permission denied.

[02:09] matthew4: the general answer to the question "should I reboot" in Linux is no. In Windows it's "of course!" [02:09] etfb: well, it doesn't work, that's why i asked [02:10] SavageOne, just change params in rsync to which host [02:10] thanks, can I uncomment it so it doesnt show up in my list then cause I wont use it [02:10] can you give me an example of the syntax?

[02:12] fabio: you mean "take" control of a windows computer illegally? I would search other channels, not going to find anything here [02:12] i have a netgear wg111 usb and if i bump it I lose internet connection. I then have to reboot to regain a connection. Is there anything in settings that can allow the device to connect after being unplugged and replugged w/o a reboot? [02:12] * nickrud thinks any command line more than 80 chars long needs a gui front end ;p [02:13] let me ask you thishow do I run command in ssh mode and be able to close out of my ssh client and look at it again alter [02:13] cpudan80: TORJAN [02:13] jason_ubuntuislo, i had no such luck finding libreadline.so.4 in any of the packages. [02:13] Neodudeman, you mean to change default GDM manager settings? [02:13] fabio: what the hell is torjan ? [02:13] xLE, what package you installin [02:13] bah.. I do lots of fun things from the command line :) [02:13] bmk789: Is it in the same position as in sda1 or primary bus vs secondary bus etc [02:13] ok, so editing /etc/profile doesn't work for me. i type ssh desktop and it says ssh: Name or service not known [02:13] libreadline5. [02:13] Cpudan80, i think he means trojan [02:13] bmk789: are you dual booting? [02:13] jason_ubuntuislo: oh hey. ya, if I could just default the GDM settings from terminal, that'd be great. [02:13] matthew4: what are you trying to do? [02:13] matthew4, no, all you should have to do is type desktop, the ssh is already part of the alias [02:14] lcpudan: its like an virus but controls victim computer [02:14] nickrud: i see, i don't want to type desktop though, i want to type ssh desktop [02:14] matthew4: add "ip.address desktop" to your /etc/hosts file to get that, or listen to nickrud for the proper way to alias [02:14] Jack_Sparrow: nope, ubuntu only, how should i reconfigure grub to boot? [02:14] matthew4, didnt we cover this? [02:14] Kelsin. WHY NOT [02:14] fabio: OK - first of all - freenode doesn't support llegal activity -- therefore neither does ubuntu [02:14] etfb, editing the xorg.conf file [02:14] Neodudeman, what settings you need changed? [02:14] fabio: this is an ubuntu support channel, not an "i want to act like an idiot" channel [02:14] how can one create a tap device in ubuntu? [02:14] fabio: Second, learn to speak English - it's spelled *trojan* [02:14] !illegal | fabio [02:14] fabio: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:14] bmk789: need to identify what caused the problem.. there is super grub repair CD... are you running a live cd on it now? [02:15] Jack_Sparrow: yes im on a kubuntu livecd now [02:15] is gedit a program? [02:15] yes [02:15] neur1: yes, for the gnome desktop. [02:15] neur1: yes [02:15] matthew4, lol, now you're being told to add to /etc/hosts again [02:15] neur1: yes, the default gnome text editor [02:15] jason_ubuntuislo: i need it to go back to either the default session of xclient, or the default theme human [02:15] * genii does some unfun things from the command line [02:15] matthew4, lol [02:15] nickrud: i know! but that already doesn't work. I've done this before, the way I want, and it worked. i just don't remember how [02:15] bmk789: have you got the hard drive mounted? [02:15] anyone know where cups stores remote printers, it is not in /etc/cups/printers.conf no matter what they say :-). Only thing there is my local printer... [02:16] Jack_Sparrow: yes [02:16] kelsin: lol [02:16] i'm in xubuntu how do i edit files? [02:16] Kitche did you respond? I might have missed it int he flood -- how do I determine if the fault in installaing libgdgraph is a preferance or a bad referenace int eh .deb? [02:16] neur1: vim [02:16] neur1, gedit or vim [02:16] bmk789: I dont do kde... but from a term you should be able to do fdisk -l "L" is the last character [02:16] samstern: you just install the .deb and see why it's failing afterwards [02:16] jason_ubuntuislo: there is no gedit in XFCE. [02:16] Neodudeman, hmm ok are you attempting to setup the default Gnome desktop from kde? [02:16] so vim . . . file? [02:16] yep [02:16] nickrud: FYI, just typing desktop doesn't work either, says bash: desktop; command not found [02:16] matthew4: there are three ways to do that, either run your own dns server (probably too much) edit your /etc/hosts file, or edit your ~/.ssh/config file to include a "Host desktop" section with a "Hostname" section beneath it, check "man ssh_config" for more info [02:17] neur1: or nano, its easier imho than vim [02:17] thanks [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: ok, what do i need to get from that? [02:17] Cpudan80: is not inlegal you bastard [02:17] neur1, im assuming you installed gedit [02:17] jason_ubuntuislo: please be sure your advice will actually work before giving it [02:17] !ohmy | fabio [02:17] fabio: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:17] kitche thanks I'll pursue that; thanks. I need to go [02:17] neur1, you can do sudo apt-get install gedit [02:17] nickrud, macogw: found it - epilicious, in care extensions [02:17] is there a way, so i don't always have to enter my password in for sudo? [02:17] it says i don't have it as of now [02:17] matthew4, listen to kelsin, he was kind to me when he said listen to me ;) [02:17] Kitche and TonyRusso: I apprecaite your help [02:17] bmk789: can you put that in the pastebin .. not in the channel.. then post your boot/grub/menu.lst for us to [02:17] xLE: yes man sudoers [02:17] neur1: nano might be easier than vim -- it guides you along a bit more than vim does [02:17] kelsin: in the second method of editing .ssh/config, can Host include the user? [02:17] mneptok, isnt this ubuntu channel? he should be in xubunu ? no? [02:17] Cpudan80: vim guides people now? [02:17] thanks PriceChild [02:18] ... [02:18] do i need to install nano? [02:18] neur1: nope [02:18] matthew4: yes via the "User" command, you should really read the manpage for ssh_config, that file is very handy if you do a lot of sshing around [02:18] jason_ubuntuislo: your advice is incorrect and will not work for him, despite the channel. [02:18] k thanks [02:18] jason_ubuntuislo: right now I'm stuck in fluxbox, because I accidentally set it as my default session window manager in the GDM. When I log onto the GDM, I can't change the session back to gnome because the theme I installed doesn't have a session changer; so I would like to change the GDM all the way back to its original default settings [02:18] kelsin: no, but nano has all those commands listed at the bottom of the window [02:18] jason_ubuntuislo: it's really the same base system just the gui is different [02:18] jason_ubuntuislo: please be sure your advice will actually work before giving it [02:18] do i have to be logged in to my desktop to vnc into it from a remote spot?

[02:20] mneptok, ahh sorry this channel is flying [02:20] underdawg: Yes... but it's painfully complicated [02:20] how about xdmcp through windows? [02:20] bmk789: you were mixing ide and sata drives before as well? [02:20] vi is OK.. it's fast and it's everywhere. If you ignore the user-hostile beep mode, it's a fine text editor [02:20] underdawg: yeah there are vnc servers that create a new session even if you log in with a user that is already logged in, just not the default setup one that's included in ubuntu [02:20] is that a way that i could happen cpudan? [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: yes [02:20] underdawg: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [02:20] mneptok, did you understand what i was asking? [02:20] underdawg: Just follow the directions and pray [02:20] underdawg: what you are asking for sounds suspicious [02:20] fabio: we can talk in #ubuntu-ops [02:21] just one more question guys, is a bug in grub or in kernel, i cant boot my linux without "nosplash", i tried everything possible, read the forums, etc, nothing works [02:21] mneptok: i know, but i assure you it's not for suspicious reasons [02:21] how about xdmcp? [02:21] is that a way to start a new session? [02:21] underdawg: The fiesty instructions work fine with gutsy [02:21] btw, i have 7.10 x64 [02:21] underdawg: Yes --- just follow those directions [02:21] underdawg: you can get xming on windows to run programs from your linux desktop on widnows remotely [02:21] mneptok, you ? online?

Ideally I'm looking for a plugin type of thing that will do it automatically.

[02:43] kitche, he wants to sync his contacts too [02:43] tonyyarusso, i must simply be missing something of what you want to do [02:43] kitche, i didnt know imap could do this [02:43] xLE: you can download it, use the "alien" package to convert to a deb, and try installing that if you want [02:43] tonyyarusso: just configure your email clients for imap and enable it in gmail and there you go I have no clue about contacts though [02:43] is it possible to break a linux gnu box by just pulling the plug on it? [02:43] jason_ubuntuislo: me neither but I m not usre but gmail might have an export command for them [02:43] tonyyarusso: contacts as they say, possibly [02:43] eido: you can corrupt the file system yes [02:44] eido: it won't be happy about it if you do [02:44] eido: (just like any modren OS) [02:44] eido: *modern [02:44] kitche, yes i posted a way to export to csv but he wants them updated all the time [02:44] what does installed (local or obsolete) mean in the package manager? [02:44] LjL, kitche: ... I know I can do the mail with IMAP - hence the question just about contacts. [02:44] I need help figuring out how to file a bug report. [02:44] \Can anyone recommend a good program to rip internet radio stations, that can split it into separate files by a specified length? [02:44] kitche, he needs a script to download and sync [02:45] nibsa1242b: you need to register on launchpad, and then you can [02:45] !bug | nibsa1242b [02:45] nibsa1242b: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/ - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots [02:45] ruthmann_, does this help http://www.xpheas.com/Rip-Internet-Radio_a9.html [02:45] tritium: I am registered, but it says that the project: flpsed isn't registered [02:46] tonyyarusso: let me log in to gmail and see something [02:46] jason: have u used it before? [02:46] nibsa1242b: if it's an ubuntu bug you want to file it in the ubuntu project [02:46] ok [02:46] tonyyarusso: sicne I believe they might have an application and I have to check my email anyways :) [02:46] ruthmann_, nope just suggesting that its around [02:46] nibsa1242b: you'd report the bug against the ubuntu package, not the project [02:46] kelsin: tritium: I'm new to these things. I've only ever reported one bug before. Not sure exactly how to go about using the launchpad site. [02:47] how do i search for a specific package? [02:47] kitche: :) [02:47] apt-get search package_name*? [02:47] sudo aptitude search [02:47] nibsa1242b: I'm about to host a LoCo meeting. Perhaps kelsin can assist... [02:47] sudo aptitude search PACKAGENAME [02:47] kelsin: tritium: I think I'll be ok. I googled it and found the bug has already been reported on launchpad [02:47] jason_ubuntuislo: sudo with "search"? no need. [02:47] LjL, ohh really [02:47] nibsa1242b: you goto bugs.ubuntu.com and click on "Report a bug" [02:47] nibsa1242b: well then you're all set [02:48] jason_ubuntuislo: yes really, why would one need root privilges to just *search* for a package? you aren't touching anything in the filesystem. [02:48] kelsin: yep, and the great thing is that there is a simple work around [02:48] LjL, i always seem to use sudo because every time i do something it yells and says hey no permissions man ! [02:48] apt-cache search and aptitude search do not require sudo [02:48] what is the most common convention for naming multiple word directories, e.g. "a new directory" ? [02:48] kelsin: I'm happy. I often need the pdf editing power of flpsed. [02:49] toresn_: what do you mean by "convention"? [02:49] kelsin, rpm is not for ubuntu? [02:49] xLE: ubuntu does not use rpms, but we have the "alien" package that will convert rpm->deb [02:49] xLE, alien will convert it [02:49] !alien | xLE kelsin jason_ubuntuislo [02:49] xLE kelsin jason_ubuntuislo: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:50] xLE: it's not reliable and for big important packages not safe, but might work for this case [02:50] crdlb: etiquette [02:50] tonyyarusso: well I didn't see anything about clients but might want to do some searching about it [02:50] toresn_: well I generally try to avoid it if that's what you mean, except for pure document folders (eg music grouped by artist/album) [02:51] tonyyarusso: clients/contacts [02:51] toresn_, most often - for space, then _, but _ is more a pain to type ;) [02:52] toresn_, also if you are talking web accessible... google sees - as space, but not _ [02:52] ok, tnx [02:52] ok i think all 3rd party software is out [02:52] what is the best way to upgrade from feisty to gutsy?

[03:09] sunogbaga, im aware that my client can log it but i was wondering if its possible to log it while im at work as i have only this pc which is a laptop i bring to work and i cant get to irc [03:09] Zimp_: /usr/src/linux is commonly just a symlink to the current kernel you have running, if that file isn't there isn't fine, they should be located in a folder in /usr/src [03:09] jason_ubuntuislo: web interface i think is possible only if your irc client has the feature [03:09] NeoPhyte21: hmm what are you building?

Or that I want all the emails with the same urgency be gathered together. If there a client enough flexibe and with such possibilities out there? Thanks [03:15] No, I meant how do I find out whether or not its using ext3, resierfs, etc. [03:16] I was thinking that maybe some prefiltering by scripting could do this under linux but not that good with those stuff [03:16] hmm [03:16] transcube, fdisk -l [03:16] K_Dallas: what clients hav eyou trued that havn't done this? I know Thunderbird and Evolution both can. You can also use procmail along with fetchmail and a client like mutt if you like a tech-savy cli solution [03:16] hello?

What am i doing wrong? It seems like it doesnt access my account and my stations. [03:32] crdlb: gtk+2.0 was in there [03:32] kromcuich weird.. maybe it is not iptables then [03:32] or is rather [03:32] wut? === marek|nano_ is now known as nano [03:32] RoAkSoAx: i played with iptables when trying to set up internet connection sharing. that never worked and neither has the internet since :) [03:32] i have resized my drive what next (I press apply then it goes back to start??? [03:33] NeoPhyte21: you've manually installed gtk for some reason, which is a bad thing [03:33] kromcuich but if you have flushed iptables it should work as it used to [03:33] RoAkSoAx: and next step if it didnt? === onats_ is now known as onats [03:34] krammer: you shrunk your drive right? and created a new parition?

[03:34] Jordan_U: no, its on dhcp now...and neither eth0 or 1 function [03:34] kromcuich: reboot machine and what Jordan_U says, verify network config. [03:35] Right click on the open space then start new partition? [03:35] underdaw1, Again, does the laptop have openssh-server installed? [03:35] krammer: create a new extended partition using as much space as you want, click apply and watch it work [03:35] Jordan_U: yes [03:36] I am back from start [03:36] Jordan_U: ssh and vnc installed [03:36] first do i resize the drive? [03:36] RoAkSoAx: i tried to reinstall the iptables package, but it wants to download it again :) which obviously... [03:36] Jordan_U: i can't login to vnc unless I login on this desktop though [03:36] :( [03:36] underdaw1, ssh in, if they are using a terminal right now the easiest thing to do would be to run "wall " [03:36] krammer: you need unalocated space to do anything, so shrtinking/removing comes first [03:36] i se [03:36] wall is a cool command [03:37] okay [03:37] kromcuich: obviously...?? [03:37] RoAkSoAx: obviously i cant [03:37] what next::please [03:38] kromcuich do a /etc/init.d/networking restart and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:38] i have my space showing unallowcated? [03:38] krammer: if you've got some free space now right click on it and select new partition [03:38] underdaw1, You can also set the DISPLAY variable to ":0.0" then run any GUI command and it will show up on his desktop if he is logged in ( "zenity" is probably a good place to look for quick messages ) [03:38] hi, what package does the image manipulation tool 'convert' live in? i thuoght it was imagemagick but it didn't install it.. [03:38] extended part? and then add ?

[03:39] krammer: then click apply, should take a while [03:39] in vnc :0,0?

[04:44] I can't seem to change this. [04:44] :) I just stopped in to grab some mail.. not get sucked into the vortex for another hour [04:44] very frustrating - I'd consider installing another player but I'd rather use totem.

[05:00] Myrtti, but as i said the phone has PAN running properly as i have tested it in windows [05:01] fabio it does detect it and recognize it but it doesn't recognize my wireless network [05:01] jsu-> its just a matter of getting ppp to work on that link..but you have to do a bit more digging..the handshake of ppp and such === schlort_ is now known as schlort [05:01] konam u do it what i sayit?

At boot time, running Wi-Fi Radar will automatically scan for an available preferred network and connect to it. You can drag and drop your preferred networks to arrange the profile priority. [05:05] bulmer, ok thanks for the tip. although i still dont think it has anything to do with ppp. afaik im connecting with a protocol called pan, not ppp. [05:05] fabio that will solve my problem?

[05:12] fabio i did and it didn't solve the problem [05:12] ubuntu2 I had the same problem i uninstalled java and reinstalled it [05:12] Dr_willis, I hadn't checked if he was the only one in here like that...

If you can ping each others ips they are connected. :) but how you want to see each other and do things depends. You can transfer files with samba, or nfs, or ssh. [05:13] How do you set them so they ping? [05:13] anyone know how i can tell if a kernel module is bound to the base kernel or loaded as a LKM? [05:13] anyone knows what would happen if I copied my my windows folder to wines window folder [05:13] jsu-> yep ...you can verify by googling [05:13] Ubuntu2: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects [05:14] Jesus|Freak, if they are on the same network and have the right ip's try pinging each other. [05:14] Voyage__, ok, chmod changes permissions on a file. every file has three sets of permissions for the most part. There's owner, group, and other. Then there's Read, Write, and execute. So, for every file, you can give any combination of rwx to those files that you want. [05:14] konam i dont know here is the problem now [05:14] try search in forum [05:14] It will not respond when I try to ping one or the other. [05:14] Jesus|Freak-> make sure their route table is okay..both sides [05:14] quess not [05:15] How do you do that? [05:15] Voyage__, google for linux acls. they allow more fine-grained control than is available with rwx permissions. [05:15] ok poison found it ty [05:15] Voyage__, wide open would be rwxrwxrwx (read write execute for owner, group, and others) what you're looking for would be rwxr--r-- (however it actually looks) which can be accomplished by typing chmod 744 filename [05:15] Jesus|Freak-> route -n will show you [05:15] bulmer, k, i guess i was just searching for pan straight. anyways iv got some instructions, im going to reboot into ubuntu and see what i can do.. thanks for the help [05:15] Voyage__, ls -l will show you the permissions of a file btw [05:15] craigbass1976 i did the same. i ran filemanager by root access. changed the options for .. the root is able to write only. others only view. but its says "stailed" when i press ok. it doesnt applies changes [05:15] craigbass1976 well i get laid more often now ;) [05:15] how to refine graphics ???? [05:15] I go to the java site it says that I have the latest version [05:16] Voyage__, I've never changed permissions in a gui, so I don't know what you're dealing with [05:16] jsu-> no problem, modem is modem..it goes through a serial or ethernet, this case its serial then ppp on top of it [05:16] works in firefox [05:16] anyone know how i can tell if a kernel module is bound to the base kernel or loaded as a LKM?

[05:21] craigbass1976: nothing wrong with konqueror, they just wanted something with fewer advanced features (for simplicity) [05:21] craigbass1976: maybe it doesn't conquer your desktop any more :D [05:21] How do you set up the ip routing table?

Being conquered was why I decided to come to linux in the first place [05:22] cerealkiller: Are you sharing from Ubuntu? [05:23] cerealkiller: should be possible with samba, i haven't messed with it, i don't have any ntfs partitions [05:23] not too fun system [05:23] cerealkiller, if you can mount it in linux, you can share it with samba [05:23] agreed ckin2001 [05:23] cerealkiller, why does it need to be an ntfs partiton? the remote windows box won't know the difference [05:24] Yes, that's the right answer, ckin2001 [05:24] ／list [05:24] ckin2001 Thanks for the help the other day :). This is what I used it for http://imyousuf-tech.blogspot.com/2007/12/guarding-against-softwares-with-memory.html [05:25] I'm trying to burn an iso, but the burner keeps telling me I need to insert a cd with a certain capacity... I'm certain the cd is adequate, I'm thinking the OS isn't communicating with the burner properly... it is a Plextor 16/10/40 burner. [05:25] ckin2001, with looped cron job not it stops from IDEA crashing my laptop :) [05:25] err Plexwriter* [05:26] imyousuf, does it shut down the program gracefully if it is over memory limit? [05:26] silent_, you sure you are not trying to burn a 700 mb image to a 640mb disk? [05:26] yes ckin2001 :) [05:27] nice [05:27] Dr_willis: the image is a couple megabytes, the disc is 700mb [05:27] it's Darik's boot n' nuke [05:27] ckin2001 but I required a cronjob+loop for the trick :) [05:27] silent_, What software are you using to burn the CD? [05:27] how can I get gdm/defualt x install automatically include vnc ? [05:27] lpftr: the default burner.. right click menu -> burn to disc === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [05:28] Write to disc* [05:28] The file is an iso file, right? [05:28] It is [05:28] kjp2, not sure thats doable.. you can set up vnc as a service where it can auto run and display a gdm login. - But that wont share the currently seen/existing desktop - it will be a seperate spawned desktop [05:29] Dr_willis: ok, how do I do the GDM login over vnc ? [05:29] how can i set terminal window size when e.g. opening 'mutt' ? (i would like it to be bigger than the standard size terminal window) [05:29] You should try burning the iso from the shell: cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 src.iso [05:29] will do [05:29] sorry for my bad english, please say if my question is unclear [05:29] kjp2, i recall ages ago finding a howto on some site. :) I forget where. I think it was on a gentoo wiki. It had vnc spawning with inetd as needed. [05:29] That way, you know it's not a problem with the software. [05:29] if write succeeds, what options do I have for fixing the problem? [05:29] Sometimes, the settings can get in the way. [05:30] Dr_willis: Ok, if you find the pointer, feel free to pass it on [05:30] Well, then you have to investigate what's wrong with the software. [05:30] kjp2, I just 'ssh' to the remote box and run vncserver manually, when i need to. [05:30] what is the best bittorrent client in ubuntu? [05:30] Poisonkiller, depends on your needs. :) [05:30] The other question I have to ask: when was the last time you burned with the unit? [05:30] the program 'cdrecord' is currently not installed [05:30] o_O [05:31] cdrecord is deprecated [05:31] is there no way easy way to disable the touchpad in ubuntu? >.< [05:31] silent_: jorg schilling lol [05:31] Dr_willis: do you recommend anything? ;P [05:31] In other words, are you sure the Plexwriter works. [05:31] Poisonkiller, i use ktorrent. [05:31] I'm sure the device itself works, I've used it in windows [05:31] Hmm [05:32] hey guys [05:32] hello [05:32] lpftr: what is the new burn utility since cdrecord is deprecated? [05:32] bjbum, i got a button on my laptop that turns it off. :) Theres also the optional gsynaptic or ksynaptic (i think) tools that give you a way to configure them on the fly [05:32] gsynaptics - configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server and ksynaptics - Synaptics TouchPad configuration tool for KDE [05:32] silent_: Hold on, I am trying to remember what I use. [05:33] silent_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/source/cdrtools [05:33] i've enabled shmconfig (i think that's what it's called?) and installed gsynaptic from the synaptic package manager, but don't see where to open it [05:33] Poisonkiller: transmission [05:33] How do I install a .tar.gz? [05:33] totem cant play my rented dvd . what can i do ? [05:33] bjbum, try typing gsynaptic in a terminal? [05:34] I've used K3B, GnomeBaker, Brasero, and Graveman to burn ISO's [05:34] silent_: in feisty, cdrecord is a dummy package for wodim [05:34] mikebot, untar then you need to compile it [05:34] not found Dr_willis :( [05:34] in gutsy and hardy it got moved to multiverse [05:34] due to jorg schilling non-freeness [05:34] soldats: How do I do that? [05:34] cristhian: you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org [05:35] riffic: so I need to use wodim? [05:35] silent_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/otherosfs/cdrecord [05:35] how can i set terminal window size when e.g. opening 'mutt' ? (i would like it to be bigger than the standard size terminal window) [05:35] sorry for my bad english, please say if my question is unclear [05:35] mikebot, unpack it and read the README file [05:35] silent_: wodim should be installed already [05:35] untar command not found?.. [05:35] wodim is a fork [05:36] these are command line cd writing software [05:36] mikebot: tar xzvf filename.tar.g [05:36] silent_: DG19075 made me remember, I use K3B. [05:36] mikebot: er, .gz [05:36] mikebot, what is it that you are trying to install from source anyway? [05:36] Pici: Thanks. [05:36] for gui, you can't go wrong with k3b [05:37] riffic: That's what I need at the moment, I need to test if I can burn at least at the command line level [05:37] i just burn stuff on my mac its easier and just works [05:37] silent_: I would go to your add/remove program and add k3b. Give it a try and see if that works for you. [05:37] k3b compatible with gnome? [05:37] mikebot, after you do that read the README file and follow the instuctions [05:37] it'll work in gnome [05:37] K3B is solid [05:37] Yes, that what I am using. [05:37] its a kde app so it'll install kde deps like qt libs [05:37] .chakranet.com [05:38] what version are you using? gutsy? [05:38] I just wanted to see what graveman would be like so am giving it a go [05:38] riffic: of course [05:38] I am using gutsy. [05:38] where can i change mouse gestures in opera? [05:38] Poisonkiller: try Opera:config [05:38] It's just a folder, and it says install it [05:38] ah ok wodim should be installed already. it uses the same arguments as cdrecord since its a fork [05:39] or config:opera something like taht [05:39] so give that a try [05:39] Whats K3B? [05:39] Ttech: its a kde cd burning app [05:39] Oh [05:39] I just updated my machine from feisty to gutsy. Do I need to install anything to get the desktop effects? There doesn't seem to be a configuration for it in the system->preferences menu. [05:39] Poisonkiller: Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Shortcuts. [05:39] Is there a way to bring back the applications:// thing in gnome? [05:40] By the way, love those mouse gestures in Opera. [05:40] Falstius: "appearance" [05:40] Is there a good place on IRC to ask about OpenOffice's Spreadsheet thing that comes with Ubuntu? Or, does anyone know if I can link to files in it(In Ubuntu or Windows) [05:40] Ii am trying to burn some music discs with serpentine from .mp3, it seems to prepare to write but wont recognize when I insert a blank disc in either dvdr or cdr drive. Not sure what to do. The cdr drive worked for installing ubuntu but the dvdr drive wouldnt. and both drives used to work when this was a windows machine [05:41] timandtom: #openoffice.org [05:41] jrib: woo, it is all bouncy now. Thanks. [05:41] Anyone on mine? [05:41] k3b is doing something [05:41] i have a question: i am installing gutsy gibbon on a machine which already has feisty installed on it. i have all required software packages for gutsy on another machine. is there anyway i can copy those packages from the other machine and install them in this machine through a simple command? [05:41] preparing to write [05:41] writing [05:41] !please > ttech (read the private message from ubotu) [05:41] awesome, thanks guys [05:41] Hi! I'd like Gusty to startup with sound set to "mute", is there a way to automate this? [05:41] Thanks jrib [05:41] * Ttech hides [05:41] sorry jrib [05:42] Here are some tips for everyone using desktop effects: WinKey+E, and WinKey+Tab [05:42] Try it and see. [05:42] hmmm Dr_willis I just found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsynaptics/+bug/155119 [05:42] Ttech: np, it's just that you force people to scroll up when you do that (and most people won't bother) so it's best to just wait 5 or 10 minutes and repeat [05:42] it seems I'm not the only one that's having this problem? [05:42] * Ttech times. :P [05:43] anyone ever get one of the canon Pixma series printers to work under ubuntu? [05:43] lpftr: :) "super key" not winkey :-P [05:43] help. my firefox thinks firefox is open and wont open [05:43] ive restarted === schlort_ is now known as schlort [05:43] kitofhawaii: Thanks, I guess I've used that term too long. [05:44] I'm a newbie Ubuntu user, long time Red Hat, Fedora user. How can I change 'root' password? [05:44] kitofhawaii: I need to sand down my windows key.. stencil a tux and paint it on [05:44] !sudo | xwin [05:44] xwin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [05:44] * Ttech times. [05:44] Do M and press it a few times. :P [05:44] It hurts. [05:45] bjbum, /usr/bin/gsynaptics is where the binary is at.. Im not yusing gnome. so cant test it out [05:45] where are kde apps found in the gnome apps menu? [05:45] can somebody help me with a mounting issue? [05:45] I can't seem to find k3b [05:45] I was able to change non root user password but not password [05:45] silent_: What do you mean? [05:45] silent_, it will be in applications.... [05:45] lpftr: the shortcut to load k3b [05:45] xwin, by default the root user has no password, direct logging in as root is disabled. use your main user account and the sudo command or the gnome/kde rquilivents [05:45] ah, sound and video, nvm, thanks lpftr [05:46] can somebody help me with a mounting issue? [05:46] i've opened it Dr_willis and clicked disable and closed. i even restarted the xserver. the touchpad is still working :( [05:46] np, silent_ [05:46] Ttech: i use super + n/m all the time...helps with high contrast for reading text on webpages (black characters on high white background too harsh on the eyes) [05:46] silent_, it will be in Applications>Sound and Video [05:46] some printers require this special driver: I got it ti work doing that === allan_ is now known as theone [05:46] kitofhawaii, yeah but not fast. :D [05:46] DG19075: I beat ya to it ;P [05:46] LOL [05:46] help. my firefox thinks firefox is open and wont open [05:46] ive restarted [05:46] bjbum, no idea there - you do need to enable some feature in the xorg.conf. But as i said.. my laptop has a button to disable the touchpad. :) [05:46] kitofhawaii: do you know what Super+R does? [05:46] * bruenig wonders how lpftr got thanked [05:46] bjbum, so i have never used that tool [05:47] lpftr: now that I'm zoomed in to my xchat window, how do I un super +r [05:47] i deleted my bottom toolbar can someone tell me how to get it back? [05:47] I have one question is Ubuntu vulnerable to the Bliss virus? [05:47] * Dr_willis wonders how people keep depeteing the panels. :) [05:47] Not that I'm stupid enough to run it [05:48] lol cuz i wanted to use awn [05:48] I just wanna know [05:48] * bruenig notices that they don't ever delete panels, just toolbars and taskbars [05:48] Donka: awm rocks [05:48] silent_: try hitting it again. [05:48] lpftr: never used that one...on mine it either randomly zooms or moves the mouse into the upper left hand corner on my screen [05:48] lpftr: nothing [05:48] docgnome: ya keeps crashing thought [05:48] I often get stuck too. Sorry. [05:48] That's why I asked. [05:48] docgnome: it just disappears all the time lol [05:49] m1k3: it is when you let it to infect your system [05:49] m1k3, check the wiki page on the bliss virus. It aparently just messes with the users executables.. so in theory yes. Since a user has to be run it. [05:49] lpftr: it's defined in my compiz for fit zoomed area to window [05:49] Donka: hrm... strange. [05:49] m1k3, it aint much of a virus.. :) [05:49] ya so how do i get my old toolbar back lol [05:49] m1k3: it can't just install itself, you have to install it yourself :D [05:49] I love zooming around my desktop in 640x480 [05:49] its the best [05:50] [05:50] how can a close a program thats running like ctrl alt del on windows [05:50] hello - I have a question about preparing Windows XP for dual-boot... any takers? I defrag and defrag but I can't seem to move a few files that are sitting toward the end of an otherwise clear drive [05:50] silent_, my wife sets her desktop as low as it goes.. so she can see her solitare cards better. :) [05:50] syndr0, if it has a window open, run xkill and click the window [05:50] Dr_willis: press Super+R [05:50] whats awm? [05:50] the windoes not open [05:50] syndr0: gnome system monitor can kill processes [05:50] syndr0: gnome-system-monitor (there's an applet for the panel you can add) give you a GUI, or kill, killlall, something like that from the command line [05:51] ty [05:51] kill -9 $pidofprocess [05:51] good old kill dash nine [05:51] i always kill with prejudice :D [05:51] bit rash, don't you think? [05:51] my burners dvdr and cdr wont recognize blank media. what can I do [05:51] that is the BFG of killing processes [05:51] * bruenig likes how silent_ pretends to understand kill -9 but can't understand how the menu works [05:51] silent_: Sorry, didn't mean to cause such a headache. [05:52] bruenig: command line is my area, I'm lost in graphics [05:52] silent_, that aint going to work here :) [05:52] silent_, so why didn't you just go to /usr/share/applications and see for yourself what the Categories for k3b were? [05:53] Windows XP help anyone? preparing for a dual-boot, need some help... [05:53] bruenig: getting used to the gui has made me lazy [05:53] * bruenig doesn't buy silent_'s story [05:54] good thing my story is open-source [05:54] hey guys [05:54] I want to reinstall the whole system. But I there is a partition table error. I want to solve it before my fresh install. [05:54] bazing [05:54] balleyne, could just try resizing the partition with gparted and see what happens. I recall windows not being able to defrag/move some things - Swap file? at times [05:54] wy➲ then delete it [05:54] Any ideas how to diagnose this type of error in linux? [05:54] balleyne, theres also some 3rd party defragger tools for windows. [05:55] hey does any know how to manipulate the task bar on the top of the screen [05:55] kahrytan: Just simply delete it? But I don't even know the error is in which partition. [05:55] wy, maybe run a hard drive manufactures test on drive before reinstall ensure the drive wont just crap out again [05:55] wy➲ just reformat the hard drive. and make new table. unless you want to keep the data [05:55] enabling zoom desktop undid the Super+R function as each object was rendered [05:55] what's a reccomended bot -- linux friendly and decently easy to use? [05:55] * bruenig points Dr_willis to another mysterious mention of this "taskbar" [05:55] for an IRC channel [05:55] balleyne: http://www.nishants.net/articles/ntfsresize.htm if you're up for it [05:55] Dr_willis, I've had this issue before and I was able to resize, but not very far.. only to the point of the last file on the disk... I have 189 GB of free space, but it looks like there's only about 15 GB at the end.. lol... [05:55] wy➲ Do you use windows? [05:56] balleyne: that's why you partition before you install operating systems *facepalm* [05:56] kahrytan: Any ideas how to reformat the whole disk? It seems I can't find this option in BIOS [05:56] kahrytan - I got banned from offtopic for a mont [05:56] wy➲ you got windows partition? [05:56] month [05:56] kahrytan: Yes. I need to reinstall windows first. Then linux [05:56] Kagar➲ goto #kahrytan [05:56] silent: I certainly would have done that if I didn't get this computer years ago, lol =\ [05:56] kahrytan: gparted reports the whole partition as empty. But both of my systems can still boot [05:57] kitofhawaii: thanks fr the link, taking a look now [05:57] balleyne: Then it's due for it's regular windows reinstall anyway... that system must be running slow as hell [05:57] don't you know windows destroys itself from the inside out over time? [05:57] wy➲ if you just reinstalling everything, just format the disk. gparted can delete partitions. and so will windows on install [05:57] It's really weird I often got partition table errors when I have two systems. [05:57] wy➲ you could try diagnostics software from hdd mfg [05:58] kahrytan: That would be ... hitachi === u^A is now known as u^A_ [05:58] hello, is there a command that I can type to determine my version of Xorg? [05:58] wy➲ You got the bootable cd from them? [05:58] any one know how to manipulate the task bar [05:59] pingu, right click [05:59] pingu, right click? [05:59] silent_: oh, I know, but this machine doesn't get used that often. Everything else I use is GNU/Linux, but this has an app I use for recording music - I'm hoping to install Ubuntu studio so that I can finally ditch Windows altogether. I've kept my Windows install in really good shape though, so it's still running fine (I mean, fine for windows, lol) [05:59] zoexii, X -version [05:59] wy➲ just format the hdd. [05:59] kahrytan: No. It's a lenovo T60. I used to have a partition which contains the utilities. But I deleted it [05:59] tried that, i want to organize it and it wont let me [05:59] pingu, right click in the proper place :) [05:59] kahrytan: Do you mean "low level" format? [06:00] balleyne: I'm boot n nuking my vista install [06:00] bruenig, cool, thank. [06:00] Ok, whats the pronounciation for Ubuntu. I went into the local smallish pc store and mentioned it and my mispronounciation got me an awkward stare [06:00] pingu, well this could just be gnome being gnome but what are you doing [06:00] balleyne: happiest day of my life [06:00] wy: grab a friend's windows 98 disk and fdisk the data good bye if you really want to :) they're usually being used as coffee coasters :0 [06:00] wy➲ try regular format first, then zero it [06:00] kahrytan: ugh... I had to do that once [06:00] silent_: hehe I know the feeling :) [06:00] kahrytan: Then I would need something from the manufactorer [06:01] wy➲ or floppy disk that windows makes? [06:01] wy: or fdisk off the ubuntu live cd :) [06:01] kitofhawaii➲ get my msg? [06:01] bruenig: just trying to move some icons around where i want them [06:01] for the truely paranoid. I recall some live cd's that had 'disk secure deletion' tools on them [06:02] kahrytan: which one? sorry :) [06:02] Thanks. [06:02] pingu, right click on them, make sure they are "unlocked" whatever the hell that even means, and then right click and move [06:02] balleyne: I kinda want to rip apart system 32 and watch the OS fail upon boot... and laugh loudly into the cold night [06:02] biabia, how did you pronounce it? [06:02] Dr_willis: dd if=/dev/zero and /dev/urandom couple of times ;-) [06:03] ok, so X -version gives version 1.3, however ATI installer thinks X.org should be versions 6.8-7.1, Is X server different from X.org? [06:03] myrtion➲ what's dd if do? [06:03] kahrytan, man dd [06:04] Do I have to read some lengthy doc? [06:04] silent_: ahaahhah, niiice [06:04] kahrytan: do you want me to? ;-) [06:04] Sorry, #openoffice.org is no help, and since OpenOffice IS bundled with Ubuntu... I just need to know, is there a way to link to stuff in a spreadsheet? [06:04] myrtion➲ i just want to know what the command does [06:04] timandtom: what type of link? [06:05] timandtom, i recall putting embeded spread sheets in OO docs. :) [06:05] bruenig: thanks [06:05] Myrtti➲ oops. Whats the command do? [06:05] hey I feel really stupid can anyone help me out [06:05] dd needs atleast two values, if and of [06:05] kitofhawaii: like to ~/Desktop/rawr.pdf or something like that [06:05] it writes data to a file or a partition [06:06] !anyone | jahisthebalance you fit in well in this channel [06:06] jahisthebalance you fit in well in this channel: 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? [06:06] timandtom: that's usually done with insert -> object [06:06] kitofhawaii: and itll just make a clickable link to the object? [06:06] I deleted the wireless network launcher off the top taskbar and I can't get it back [06:06] can be used multiple ways, the most common to write partitions full of zeroes or randomness to erase the data [06:07] zoexii: v1.3?!? can't be .. it should be like this --> X Window System Version x.x.x [06:07] kahrytan: read the man for more info [06:07] timandtom: uhm...lemme try real quick [06:07] is there any multisync user here? :) [06:07] * bruenig points Dr_willis to another `taskbar' problem [06:07] jahisthebalance, right click on the panel (read not called taskbar) [06:07] Myrtti➲ I remember one time when I used windows, I formated then booted in dos mode. old data was still there. I did format. [06:07] yeah its okay to make fun of me... my bad [06:07] jahhisthebalance: right click outside all the other icons and there will be add in that box [06:07] bruenig, at least he dident lose the whole bar. :) [06:07] then pick it and add it [06:08] IcemanV9, yes it say 1.3.0 [06:08] kitofhawaii: Ok, awesome :D thanks. Again, sorry for taking this to #ubuntu, but #openoffice.org is too dead [06:08] I think the score is taskbar - 4, toolbar - 1, oddly enough panel - 0 [06:08] bruenig, i think 1/2 the issue is that ya have to right click in just the rght place to get to some of the menus to tweak the taskbar. :) [06:08] kahrytan: dd isn't mkfs [06:08] man we need to be nice [06:08] * bruenig awaits the day when someone says panel [06:08] timandtom: you could do insert -> hyperlink [06:08] I'm trying to follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick but it's not letting me copy /dists/stable or /ubuntu. Are they really necessary? [06:09] kitofhawaii: and then just type the filepath? [06:09] I have the whole add to panel bit on there but where is the WiFi? [06:09] timandtom: file:// is usually the format for that...lemme try that :) [06:09] zoexii: odd. never seen this nbr. [06:09] kitofhawaii: :D Awesome, thanks! [06:09] dd can be used to make *exact* copies of partitions (not as useful as one might think) [06:09] timandtom: naw...just insert -> hyperlink and then select document [06:09] Actually the WiFi icon in the system tray part of the panel. is a Application you run isent it? Not a 'add to panel widget' [06:09] Myrtti➲ I was just commenting how format doesnt erase data that very well. [06:09] NoorulIslaam: I pronounced it ooo bun 2 [06:10] kahrytan: Darik's boot n nuke [06:10] ok, thanks kitofhawaii! [06:10] biabia➲ which is generally correct [06:10] biabia, me too [06:10] Dr_willis: nm-applet maybe? [06:10] Ubuntu is pronounced Oo-Boon-too [06:10] kahrytan: and that's why we're so lucky to have ubuntu ;-) [06:10] i thought i read someplace its ooo boon too [06:10] kahrytan: or any other distro [06:10] which is awkward for me [06:11] Myrtti➲ I still use windows but been awhile since booting it. AVG needs updating :-P [06:11] i perfer oo bun too [06:11] IcemanV9, nbr? I dunno, it is an install of Gusty, and I have run updates, so it should be the most recent, the first line returned says "X Window System Version 1.3.0"... and the ati driver installer quits with an error about detected verion of X not having 'x130' directory... [06:11] dd comes by default... <3 [06:11] well I have no idea [06:11] cool [06:11] kitofhawaii: Would there happen to be anyway to make it so instead of /home/brian (my accounts name), it would be /home/whatever the users name is? [06:12] timandtom: assuming you have access to the path/file [06:12] Are there any better ways to partition the disk for a two-system machine? I need a windows and a Ubuntu. Normally I just use sda1 for C:, sda2 is extended. sda5 is D:, sda6 is swap; sda7 is /; sda8 is /home. [06:12] zoexii: hm. wonder if there is a parameter to ignore the version nbr to install ati driver. [06:12] like, saying i wanted to send this spreadsheet to someone, as well as the files that its linked to, and have the links work [06:13] wy: sda1 for windows c, sda2 for /, sda3 for /home and sda4 for swap [06:13] dont make extended [06:13] wy➲ Install Windows, then have Ubuntu resize partition and make / and swap partition. [06:13] IcemanV9, maybe, I think it's looking for a folder that corresponds to the number. [06:13] wy➲ you dont have to have /home partition if you dont want it. [06:13] MasterShrek: I want to have a D: [06:13] you dont really need a /home partition though, kinda handy but not nessicary [06:14] timandtom, put all the files in one folder, have the links between them relative, and then tar / gzip them to send to someone else [06:14] d: for a cdrom you are talking or for a mounted partition? [06:14] ckin2001: how do i make it so the links are relative? [06:14] MasterShrek: I just want to keep my personal data and settings separate from the system. [06:14] wy➲ Linux doesnt use letters for drives [06:15] ah, well yea that'd be the way to do it, what fs you thinking of using? [06:15] timandtom, use relative pathnames instead of absolute, i.e. use ./thefilename instaed of /home/username/thefilename [06:15] MasterShrek: d: is a partition in windows [06:15] I just want to open the networks program again so I can switch networks easily like I did less than ten minutes ago [06:15] Why you suggest not to have extended? [06:15] jahisthebalance, you may need to restart nm-applet [06:15] wy: letters how Windows mounts a partition, linux mounts partitions directly to the root filesystem [06:15] wy: why do you suggest having one? [06:16] ckin2001: oook, thanks! so . takes it to the folder that the spreadsheet is in? [06:16] zoexii: well, fwiw, i installed fglrx driver without a glitch. did not have a problem with ATI since then. [06:16] timandtom, ./whatever means the present folder, ../whatever is the parent folder [06:16] wy: sorry, correction - letters are how Windows mounts partitions [06:16] MasterShrek: Because I usually have more than 4 partitions. I don't really want it [06:16] so if it's not incredibly silly to ask, how would I restart nm-applet? [06:16] kahrytan: can't pm you at the moment...won't let the pm's through (no such nick/channel) [06:17] balleyne: I know that. I just try to explain views from two systems. [06:17] i want a module to be loaded on startup - what do i do / [06:17] ok, awesome, thanks a ton ckin2001 [06:17] jahisthebalance: try typing "nm-applet &" into the terminal (without the quotes) [06:17] Why do you suggest swap at the end? [06:17] kitofhawaii➲ thats off [06:17] kitofhawaii➲ thats odd [06:18] wy: it's just a norm .. not a requirement [06:18] ive heard its faster if its at the end [06:18] I often get partition table errors when I have two system. Could that caused by extended partition? [06:18] balleyne: that didn't quite do it honestly [06:18] jahisthebalance, you can also try these two commands : sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart , sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restar [06:18] my ubuntu machine has froze 2 times in the past 3 days [06:18] possibly, ive never used them much though [06:18] in order [06:19] MasterShrek: depends on the manufacturer's low level format [06:19] is there a way I can check the logs to see whats wrong? I've checked temperatures, they are fine [06:19] but if you only have 4 partition, then you dont need an extended partition [06:19] rohan: I THINK you can just add the module to /etc/modules [06:19] balleyne: ah, thanks [06:19] ic [06:19] balleyne, thats what you do [06:20] http://youtube.com/watch?v=79YizcqJuN4 lolwut? [06:20] i luled [06:20] MasterShrek: I usually have C: and D: because I keep my data in D:. And all the things in C: is quite disposable [06:20] hi, can someone help me? i am trying to get my x server to see a font i've installed to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts.. they all show up in OO and other programs, but xfontsel doesn't pick it up and i need it to for my xscreensaver lock theme. anyone know what's up? thanks! [06:20] jahisthebalance: nothing happened when you did that? a brute force way could be just to log out and back in, the app should load on startup even if you've managed to close it now [06:20] rohan: you can also put modprobe in /etc/rc.local [06:20] MasterShrek: Windows is fragile... [06:20] soldats: don't post offensive URLs, please [06:20] wy: true that [06:20] what filesystem are you going to use for the D: drive? [06:21] MasterShrek: sometimes weird things happen and I have to reinstall the system [06:21] i know how that goes [06:21] tritium, oh dang sorry i thought i was somewhere else [06:21] MasterShrek: So I want to let the data in D: so that I just need to ghost my fresh windows into C [06:22] yeah I'll try, hopefully that would do it, I mean, obviously its still connected [06:22] yea, then deal with the rest later, after linux is installed, but are you making your D drive fat32 or what? [06:22] I still don't know what's wrong with the partition table. I did it quite carefully [06:22] couldnt tell you [06:23] anyone know what i mean? the xscreensaver lock is looking for "-*-neuropol-*-r-*-*-*-80-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" and i have neuropol installed, it just doesn't recognize it... a [06:23] wy: partition tables are deep magic. [06:23] it just seems a little counter intuitive for something to be on the panel initially that can be removed but not put back on [06:23] MasterShrek: I just made it ntfs [06:23] oh well I'll see you all soon I hope [06:23] ok, should be good, i was going to suggest that [06:23] jahisthebalance, you can also try these two commands : sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart , sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26NetworkManagerDispatcher restar [06:23] wy: I don't think anyone _really_ understands them. [06:23] docgnome: That's strange. We can only have four main partitions [06:23] jahisthebalance: there are some things that are panel items/gadget things, and other things that go into the notification area on the panel when a program is running - that's the difference [06:23] I wonder if all the hds are the same. [06:24] I've heard of LVM. Is it good? [06:24] wy: *shrug* no idea. It seems like it wouldn't be a limitation of... what are they called... AH! solid state drives. [06:24] but I could be wrong. [06:25] I had a number of downloads in my 'downloader for x' list. However I ran out of hard drive space on one of my partitions. This seems to have caused the program to lose the download list. Is their anyway to get it back? [06:25] fair enough, I'm just gonna logout and in and hope for the best [06:25] crazy_bus: downloader for x? [06:25] cheers [06:26] Maybe I should be more tolerant about this mess. The machine is like a organism full of nasty... [06:26] Is it possible to change the mouse wheel scrolling? like to one page per wheel click [06:26] MasterShrek thank you [06:26] mage__: download program also called d4x [06:27] so its a download manager, you run out of diskspace and it empties its queue? doesn't seem right [06:28] np rohan :) its quite a handy file really [06:28] It's really not decidable. I'd rather we don't have file systems at all. [06:28] have a question here about Terminal as im new to Ubuntu im trying to learn the terminal and my problem seems to be i can move files or items with in a file folder but i cant move it from one location to another am i doing something wrong ? [06:28] Also I have flash installed but firefox doesn't pick it up :/ 7.10 [06:29] wy: hahahaha none at all? or just one big one? [06:29] virtual: restart the firefox [06:29] I did [06:29] if anyone has a moment and could help [06:29] how did you install it virtual? [06:29] wow, i just installed apache and my http.conf is empty [06:29] Still asks me to install the plugin, and it fails then [06:29] virtual, did you install the plugin? [06:29] jesse: what command are you using to move files? try typing 'man mv' (without the quotes) [06:29] mage__: Maybe with one huge database [06:29] virtual: 64 bit? [06:29] add/remove in apps [06:29] jesse: what was the command that you tried to move or copy [06:29] 32 [06:29] oh [06:30] virtual: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [06:30] give that a try [06:30] jesse: mv is sort of like cut/paste, while cp is more like copy/paste [06:30] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [06:30] mv -v filename location [06:30] yeah [06:30] :) [06:30] currently the things are often "lost" in the file system. It's really hard to organize them. [06:30] awn is kinda cool.. installed it to play around with it, not a bad little applet [06:30] I'm not really into eye candy though [06:30] i can get the files to move with inthem selves but i cant seem to move them from one file to another [06:30] * MasterShrek isnt either [06:30] err folder to another [06:30] i miss vista's hit winkey and type to find apps :/ [06:31] any way of doing that in ubuntu? [06:31] virtual: launchy [06:31] oh, klauncher or something [06:31] klaunchbar? [06:31] jesse: hmmm... I don't know what that wouldn't be working [06:31] jesse, i dont follow what it is that you cant do [06:31] virtual, ALT+F2 [06:31] virtual: Katapult [06:31] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu0.7.10_i386.deb <-- virtual: might want to install that deb, for flash [06:31] jesse: is it possible you dont have permissions to the target folder? [06:31] this one drive works, burns and reads. the other one ejects and the light comes on but it wont read or burn. i should unplug the cord inside and check the connection? [06:31] flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [06:31] but did it actually install? [06:32] * syc_ brb.. [06:32] jesse: location can be a filename or a folder, and it can be a relative or absolute path.. if you've got the command right, permissions could be the issue [06:32] jesse: do you get an error message? [06:32] jesse: you might rename the file instead of move [06:32] yes i get error message [06:32] s/might/might have [06:32] like the command is not right [06:32] alt-f2 is a bit awkward to press, any chance of changing it to f2? :P [06:32] jesse: give us an example of a specific command you're trying then maybe? [06:33] yeah that didn't work guys [06:33] i move a file from like say inside documents to a folder but when i open the folder i cant seem to get the file to move back [06:33] virtual: should be something in, system > preferences, maybe keyboard shortcuts or something [06:33] see what im saying [06:34] jahisthebalance: blah... so, running 'nm-applet' from the command line doesn't do anything? [06:34] jesse: it's becoming slightly clearer [06:34] I'm newbie Ubuntu user, long time Linux user (Red Hat, Fedora). Ubuntu doesn't support WPA-PSK. Everytime I tried WLAN with WPA-PSK authentication, Ubuntu crases. [06:34] what interface fonts can you recommend? i want something other than sans :D [06:34] thanks MasterShrek! [06:34] no, I mean its obviously working [06:34] i'm using a typical clearlooks-like look and feel [06:34] np virtual [06:35] jesse: so you can move files from one directory to another one, but you can't move it back? [06:35] trying rebooting to see if firefox recognizes it then [06:35] what fonts can be fit for that? :) [06:35] I just don't have the selector thing anymore [06:35] exactly [06:35] jesse: how are you moving them? Draggint them with gnome (or whatever) or using the command line? [06:35] jahisthebalance, sudo nm-applet & ? [06:35] xwin: sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant ? i dunno if it comes by default or not [06:36] jahisthebalance: right.. I had that problem a while back, I was almost positive that running nm-applet brought the applet back (ie. the selector) [06:36] im trying to learn the terminal and commands as ive researched as much as i can the commands and such i can move the files using the desktop but the fun so im told is in the terminal [06:36] jesse: which did you use to move these files? [06:36] MasterShrek, thanks, will try that. [06:36] jesse: if it was the command line, please tell us exactly what you typed to move them. [06:36] mv -v Filename Location [06:37] yeah I'm trying some variations on that [06:37] MasterShrek, is that wpa_supplicant? not wpa-supplicant ? [06:37] jesse: exactly, like, with a specific example and filenames [06:37] im pretty sure its an underscore [06:37] !info wpa_supplicant [06:37] Package wpa_supplicant does not exist in gutsy [06:37] jesse: and what are you typing to try and move them back? [06:37] hmm [06:37] mv -v picture1.jpg Pictures [06:37] xwin: tab completion? [06:37] but nothing... [06:37] jesse: and what exactly does it say when you do that? [06:37] apt-get install wpasupplicant [06:38] trying to move them back to documents from My Pictures [06:38] (I'm on gutsama) [06:38] and the commands arent working the same i get error message [06:38] Does anyone have a good guide on how to get Freespace 2 up and running well with Gutsy? [06:38] jesse: so you moved them into My Pictures and you want to move them to Documents? [06:39] hi [06:39] Hey, anyone use emulators for old gba games? [06:39] jesse: what is the exact error message you are getting? [06:39] no other ideas on how to get the wifi spot selector back on the top panel? [06:39] jesse: show me exactly what you type to move them back and exactly the erros message you get. [06:39] yes so i cd Pictures and tryed to mv -v picture.png Documents and it did not work [06:39] it ways 'wpasuplicant is already the newest version. [06:39] jesse: ah. [06:40] am i doing something wrong ? [06:40] jesse: and the Pictures folder is inside Documents? [06:40] was i not suppose to change directory [06:40] jesse: you can change directory [06:40] jesse: Yeah. It is looking for Documents within the Pictures directory. [06:40] jesse: but then you need to change the path [06:40] it becomes a little aggravating how easy it is to put a fish there [06:40] repeat: Hey, anyone use emulators for old gba games? [06:40] I am having problems with video playback in vlc any ideas? [06:40] I dont, try visualboyadvance [06:41] was inside i moved it from documents to pictures which pictures folder was in documents and i just cant seem to pull it back out of pictures and put it back in documents [06:41] I'm having issues getting sound to work correctly in a few of the ones I'm trying. [06:41] jesse: so, you might have to say ../Document (.. means parent directory), or /home/jesse/Documents or something, if you don't put a path it looks for it in your current directory [06:41] jesse: so (if I understand correctly) what you want to type is mv -v picture.png ../ [06:41] Hello, I'm getting a weird error whenever I login to GNOME. After I enter my credentials, it gives me an error: "Assistive technology support has been requested for this session, but the accessibility registry was not found. Please ensure that the AT-SPI package is installed. Your session has been started without assistive technology support." I have no idea what's wrong. The at-spi package IS installed, and I even reinstalled it for confirmati [06:41] jesse: ../ stands for the parent directory of the one you are currently in. [06:41] just some of them? [06:41] I compiled the latest from source but I am still having playback issues its almost as if the codecs aren't installed [06:42] jahisthebalace: hahaha... yeah, I can imagine - I'm trying to dig around for you a bit (though I'm not on an Ubuntu machine at the momnt) [06:42] in the Pictures Directory ? [06:42] or either or [06:42] mnemonica: if its just some of them, its probably the emulator cant do it 100% [06:42] jesse: so that will move picture.png up one directory [06:42] jesse: in the Pictures directory [06:42] mage__: Eh... It's pretty much all of them. Either the sound is really choppy or it doesn't load at all... For instance, using mednagen, the sound doesn't even load. [06:42] jesse: ./ stands for the current directory, and each subsequent '.' adds one more parent. [06:43] i c [06:43] let me give that a shot thank you [06:43] mv -v ~/Documents/Pictures/picture.png ~/Documents/picture.png [06:43] jesse: You can run the mv command in any directory, but you'll need to change the paths for the filename and to the Location to be relative to the directory that you're in [06:44] jesse: ~ stands for the home directory (/home/YOURNAMEHERE) [06:44] mage__: Would you like to see the error message I'm getting...? [06:44] Hey, I'm having problems with Ubuntu detecting my onboard sound even though it's disabled in my BIOS... can anyone help me out? [06:44] jesse: I suggest you find a tutorial on the command line. Or pick up a book about it, such as Just Enough Unix [06:44] rsvampire: howdy. [06:44] find out what driver is being loaded and blacklist it [06:44] rsvampire: still no luck? [06:44] jahisthebalance: ... are you sure you have the notification applet on your panel? a bit of a far fetched guess, but if that's gone then nm-applet will have no where to appear [06:45] mednagen an emulator or game? [06:45] docgnome: hey hey! [06:45] docgnome: I'm baaaaack! :P [06:45] mage__: Mednafen is an emulator [06:45] mnemonica: sure, pastebin or privmsg [06:45] jahisthebalance: if you open a program like say... pidgin, will that appear in the notification area? [06:45] jahisthebalance: also, `ps -e | grep nm-applet` should tell you for sure if the applet is running (whether or not you can see it) [06:45] rsvampire: lsmod | grep snd <-- pastebin the output [06:46] docgnome: well I found another program called gconf-editor and in the ALSA mixer settings it still says "use ALSA:HW:0" [06:46] oh an all in one, interesting [06:46] it worked thank you for your help and yes i may just go get a book its a bit comfusing but thanks everyone [06:46] rsvampire: I didn't have to use that. lemme see If I can remember [06:46] balleyne: as a matter of fact it does not [06:46] rsvampire@rsvampire:~$ lsmod | grep snd output [06:46] grep: output: No such file or directory [06:46] rsvampire@rsvampire:~$ lsmod | grep snd [06:46] snd_rtctimer 5216 0 [06:46] snd_emu10k1_synth 9344 0 [06:46] snd_emux_synth 40064 1 snd_emu10k1_synth [06:46] snd_seq_virmidi 9216 1 snd_emux_synth [06:46] jahisthebalance: there you go!

[06:49] mage__: Yep. [06:49] mage__: Sure does. Everything else works fine. [06:49] jahisthebalance: sorry, maybe it just says "Add" or something? when you right-click a blank area of the panel? (assuming you're in Gnome and not KDE or XFCE) [06:49] is says add to panel... [06:49] odd, it shouldn't complain about /dev/dsp then [06:50] balleyne: yes, it does. [06:50] rsvampire: try sudo rmmod snd_via82xx [06:50] gah [06:50] MasterShrek: it's a problem with setting the right default soundcard [06:50] jahisthebalance: ok, yeah, that's what you want. Click than, then select something that says Notification Area or something like that from the list, and drag it to the top left where those icons should be appearing [06:50] MasterShrek: he has onboard sound and a soundblaster card [06:50] docgnome: he wants it totally disabled though [06:50] folks, hi! if i install some KDE app on a gnome-based distro (e.g. ubuntu), will it work properly or not? [06:51] MasterShrek: and he want wants to use the sound blaster no the onboard card [06:51] oh, you just add a notification area, sweet [06:51] MasterShrek: ok just did that [06:51] thanks a lot [06:51] RoDoX: it will work, but it will use a lot of memory [06:51] MasterShrek: disable an onboard sound card? thats what the bios is for ;) [06:51] why are window managers so slow? [06:51] now I have four network managers open ;) [06:51] MasterShrek: Aye. It won't stay that way though. I have the same setup and have to fight it all the time [06:51] RoDoX: and initial startup will be a bit slow since it has to run some kde services [06:51] Windows Shell is so much quicker [06:51] jahisthebalance: ahahaha, nice! better than none, lol [06:51] its set in bios anyway [06:51] mage__: but Ubuntu ignores the BIOS settings [06:51] icemario: managing windows is haaaard [06:51] mage__: and detects it [06:51] crdlb, more than it would use if installed on KDE? [06:51] it didn't used to [06:52] how do I edit grub ? [06:52] believe me, It does now. [06:52] What port does Remote Desktop use [06:52] RoDox: slowER, but I wouldn't say slow - depends on your machine *shrugs* [06:52] thanks a lot! [06:52] mage__: like managing? [06:52] In ubuntu [06:52] MasterShrek: ok now what? [06:52] or at least with my BIOS [06:52] what do you mean by managing? [06:52] jahisthebalance: np! [06:52] RoDoX: when you're on kde, you'll already be running the kde services for all your other kde apps [06:52] you just do windows update [06:52] It's a grade A pain in the butt. [06:52] rsvampire: did that disable it? i think that was one of them, but i dont know which [06:52] if I ran into that I'd bitch and whine on the kernel mailing list like no tomorrow [06:53] MasterShrek: let me restart really fast and I'll tell ya [06:53] crdlb, so you mean that my gnome-based ubuntu will try to emulate the some KDE kernel to run it...? [06:53] heh. [06:53] What port does Remote Desktop use in Ubuntu? [06:53] Isn't it just going to reload the driver on restart? [06:53] lmao [06:53] RoDoX: no, kernel is much lower-level than gnome or kde [06:53] yes [06:53] * MasterShrek headsmacks [06:53] heh [06:53] m1k3: remote desktop? like the vnc sever? try port 590x [06:53] m1k3: for outbound connections, the outbound port is 3389. [06:53] will Ubuntu run on a system with 192MB of Ram? [06:53] RoDoX: it will load KDE services and libraries and such and run your program, it's not emulation but it's extra stuff on top of what Gnome would usually be running for native programs [06:53] m1k3, rdesktop is a client, not a server [06:53] or will it be swapping like crazy? [06:54] mage__: Any ideas...? [06:54] icemario: might want to use icewm on that [06:54] but it depends on the app or it will always work that way if i run KDE apps on ubuntu? [06:54] icemario: I'd recommend using xubuntu on that [06:54] RoDoX: so, that takes up more memory. It's still certainly doable, I run Amaro and some other KDE apps in Ubuntu all the time, it's fine [06:54] or something else that's lighter than gnome [06:54] or xubuntu, thats nice [06:54] balleyne, no errors? o_O [06:54] Hi. I'm trying to DL an attachment from using CURL or WGET. But when I do, I get HTML display code -- NOT the attachement. [06:54] How do I actually get the attachment DL'd from a shell/command line? [06:54] mnemonica: try visualboyadvance? emulators aren't my expertise, breaking things is :) [06:54] RoDoX: but KDE apps will run faster in KDE, because you won't need both KDE and Gnome libraries running [06:54] i see.... [06:55] mage__: Eh, tried that one already, same issues. Thanks though. [06:55] Question!? Easy fix for my microphone? [06:55] RodoX: nope, no errors, it works fine, just know that it takes more memory to run and some more hard disk space because you need both KDE and Gnome libraries [06:55] really? do lsof -n | grep dsp then [06:55] ...and some more processing, then [06:56] RoDoX: but it's pretty common to run apps across desktop environments if you have reason/interest too, just keep the performance in mind in case there's a native alternative [06:56] has anyone tried setting swappiness to zero? did it speed or slow your system? [06:56] what's a good reason to use ubuntu over fedora? [06:56] ckin2001, I know that I just needed to forward the right port so I can control it when I'm somewhere else [06:56] icemario: better repos [06:56] repos? [06:56] icemario: repositories [06:56] can you tell me whtas the best distro'version': KDE or GNOME? [06:56] software libraries? [06:56] RoDoX: yeah, though.. to be honest, I've never really noticed any huge difference [06:56] icemario: yea [06:56] gnome [06:56] so do I [06:57] it works [06:57] RoDoX: its personal preference [06:57] RoDoX: KDE vs Gnome is a never ending subjective argument - it's personal preference really, they have their strengths and weakenesses [06:57] icemario: kinna. repositories are where software is downloaded from when you install programs with apt-get [06:57] RoDoX, depends if you prefer KDE or Gnome. I prefer Ubuntu to Kubuntu, personally. [06:57] kubuntu shot itself in the foot by including dolphin as default filemanager, imho [06:57] for me the best distro is the one that includes vncviewer [06:57] agreed mosno [06:57] I liked dolphin [06:57] hm...that question just poped up when i knew about the new version of KDE... [06:57] MasterShrek: ok well it worked after I type the command in but it resets after I restart [06:57] rsvampire: welcomeback [06:58] docgnome: thanks [06:58] rsvampire: i know [06:58] rsvampire: yeah, well it would heh. [06:58] who's tried setting swappiness to zero? did it speed or slow your system? [06:58] so ubuntu won't run on a 192MB of ram machine? [06:58] i was going to tell you that but you rebooted too fast [06:58] so lets get to the point: whats the best thing on ubuntu vs KDE/ [06:58] isn't there a laptop option? [06:58] mage__, ssh -X > * [06:58] icemario: I'd use xubunutu for a machine like that [06:58] icemario: it might, but xubuntu would be better. [06:58] k [06:58] !blacklist | rsvampire [06:58] rsvampire: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [06:58] xubuntu is official right? [06:58] gnome works great, but takes some tweaking to make look pretty. KDE looks great, love the menus, but some things take a little work to get running. In my opinion. [06:58] icemario: yes [06:58] icemario: firefox will stil pwn you [06:59] icemario: whats the specs on that laptop? [06:59] RoDoX: as a sidenote, you can have both gnome and kde install and choose which one you want to use at login btw [06:59] icemario: there are four Ubuntu projects. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu [06:59] Well it has 512 megs of ram [06:59] but I can only use 192 [06:59] !swappiness [06:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about swappiness - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:59] icemario: ouch. I have a laptop like that [06:59] balleyne, you mean to DL nd install both OSOS: ubuntu and kubuntu? [06:59] MasterShrek and docgnome: my problem is that sometimes Ubuntu will detect my onboard sound until the asoundconf settings are loaded after I log into GDM [06:59] Anyone got an easy fix as to why my mic isn't working? [06:59] yeah, it's called VMware ;) [06:59] mage__, especially with -c if you have a slow connection [06:59] RoDoX: there are slightly difference philosophies, Gnome tends to try to simplify things and make them easier to use while KDE tends to have more configuration options.. I mean, the best way is to try them both [07:00] icemario: I actually ran FreeBSD on it till the screen broke :-( it was a great little laptop too. [07:00] I agree with balleyne [07:00] kde is like sitting in front of the controls of a 747... not good [07:00] Jordan_U: aye [07:00] pclinux wasnt bad for me either. [07:00] RoDox: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/01/30/howto-switch-from-ubuntu-to-kubuntu-or-xubuntu-or-edubuntu-or-vice-versa-610-edgy/ [07:00] yo guys... i have a media pc hooked into my tv and im trying to figure out a good way to control it from my laptop [07:00] whats the current version of GNOME? (for ubuntu 7.10) [07:00] icemario: It was nice and fast. Course... I didn't run X so :-P [07:00] !info gnome [07:00] gnome: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.18.3ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 13 kB, installed size 44 kB [07:00] docgnome: the only reason I can't run with 512 is because I use VMware [07:00] how can i control mouse wheel scroll speed? currently it only goes down once per click [07:01] I'd like to make it do a page instead [07:01] 2.18.3 [07:01] I'm actually running XP Pro [07:01] using VMware [07:01] why in a vmware? [07:01] rsvampire: well... my question is... do you really care that you don't get the gdm sound? [07:01] dunno [07:01] RoDoX: you can have one installed of Ubuntu and install both the Gnome and KDE desktop environments, essentially you have Ubuntu AND Kubuntu - the caution is that you get a whole slew of apps, because you get all the apps from both, but then you can choose which desktop environment you want to use at login [07:01] whereas gnome has all of that functionality, just hidden in gconf [07:01] yo guys... i have a media pc hooked into my tv and im trying to figure out a good way to control it from my laptop... any ideas? [07:01] can anyone recommend a program that can manage downloads of my network centrally? [07:02] oddly I find ubuntu faster in virtualbox rather than on the livecd :/ [07:02] this program will be installed n a server [07:02] yay cd access time [07:02] =/ [07:02] problem: first installation kubuntu, Installed firefox, xchat with Adept install, he asked me admin password. Everything gone right. Now, when I open terminal, I try to login with su, the password before doesn't work. Somebody can help me? [07:02] icemario: aye. not running X is a Good Thing(tm) though. If you wanna become a command line wizard. [07:02] what is virtualbox? [07:02] RoDoX: Gutsy has Gnome 2.20 [07:02] when I have both gnome and kde installed i got some menu item additions/changes that annoyed me. [07:02] !virtualbox [07:02] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [07:02] so KDE must be older than GNOME... [07:02] tsukasa: what sort of control? [07:02] docgnome: well I really don't... but my problem stems from if Ubuntu detects my onboard sound first... then changes it to the "default" card with the asound settings... a lot of programs will still use/integrate the onboard sound anyways [07:02] Oh right. [07:02] rsvampire: forgot that bit [07:03] MasterShrek: so what module do I need to blacklist? my VIA82xx? [07:03] kde4 is out ..soon.. [07:03] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Firefox_3_Beta_2_Testing_is_Today_Icon_Updates [07:03] is there anything wrong with running VMware? [07:03] tsukasa: you could use vnc to bring whats running on it to your screen, or use something like synergy to share the keyboard/mouse [07:03] rsvampire: now that I think about it... I had that problem with VMWare [07:03] icemario: no [07:03] RoDoX: I believe so, KDE used to have some non-free dependancies so the GNOME project was started to create an entirely free desktop, but since then KDE's non-free dependancy (Qt) became free [07:03] mage__, well see thats the thing, at first i thought ssh would be good since im using it to play videos... but when i do vlc via ssh it doesnt work [07:03] rsvampire: did it seem to disable the right card when you ran that rmmod command? [07:03] rsvampire: it was using the onboard sound for Virtual machines [07:03] icemario: running in a vm is just silly ;) [07:03] mage__, not vnc, it would lag too much [07:03] mage__, i can look into synergy [07:03] MasterShrek: yeah, it seemed to [07:03] Now how did I fix that... [07:03] tsukasa: DISPLAY=:0 yadda [07:03] oh really [07:03] ^ for ssh [07:03] tsairox, [07:03] no way of changing mouse wheel speed? [07:03] tsukasa, [07:03] that is most :( [07:03] Fudus, [07:03] sire1, [07:03] then yes, bit its snd_via82xx (case sensitive) [07:03] docgnome: yeah in any case it's helping me learn Ubuntu/Linux a lot more figuring this dang problem out [07:04] hey guys [07:04] balleyne, "used to have..."? [07:04] mage__: but if I want to play a game that only runs on windows, I don't have to restart, but then again, it doesn't take that long to restart [07:04] rsvampire: heh [07:04] who thinks ubuntu roxorz? [07:04] linxuz3r: ? [07:04] icemario, wine runs games too :D [07:04] just greeting [07:04] rsvampire: alot of ubuntus power is under the hood [07:04] mage__, so vlc DISPLAY=:0 blah or DISPLAY=:0 vlc blah [07:04] tsukasa: I guess I should be less vague; try doing DISPLAY=:0 someprogram [07:04] ckin2001, cedega runs games much better [07:04] sec let me try [07:05] linxuz3r, spot me 5$ a month? [07:05] RoDoX: Qt (used by KDE) used to be under a non-free license, but it is now under a free software license - while it was non-free, GNOME was created to make an entirely free desktop, but now they're both free destops [07:05] actually having to pay for software, what a thought ;) [07:05] for [07:05] theres also export DISPLAY=:0, and you run your command, this is assuming you've got X running on that TV computer [07:05] its only 5 bucks [07:05] cedega i assume [07:05] hello, i have an external USB 500GB MyBook driver, if i format it to ext3 then will it ask me for disk mount checks too like the other normal ext3 harddrives, coz thats a bit annoying then as an disk is mounted an unmounted several times, can someone answer this? [07:05] Fudus: a horrible thought. [07:05] i need help, my xserver wont start. when i run startx, i get this: http://rafb.net/p/RxdMfi95.txt === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [07:05] RoDoX: version numbers aren't a great sign of age though, but in this case I guess it's true [07:05] 5bucks is worth the money to get your compatible games to be played in linux [07:05] mozart: disk mount checks? ;) [07:06] linxuz3r: You can download the CVS version for free :) [07:06] gnome started after kde, because of kde's old licence on kde [07:06] yes dont you know that? [07:06] of cedega [07:06] balleyne, i got it...and both KDE or GNOME are compatible with compiz-fusion? [07:06] icemario, really wow nice [07:06] mozart: nope, does it pop up a window and harass you? [07:06] because qt wasn't open source at the time, hence gnome was made [07:06] RoDoX: yep [07:06] you know when u start ubuntu it does the disk mount check [07:06] MasterShrek: alright done and done ran sudo update [07:06] on every 30th boot [07:06] mozart: tune2fs will let you fiddle with the numbers for that harassment though [07:06] rsvampire: what programs are doing that exactly? [07:07] rsvampire: apt-get has nothign to do with it but ok :) [07:07] mozart: i think there's a way to disable that, i've just never tried. [07:07] balleyne, i dont know...if they are both free and offers good exp to the user, so why are they different? [07:07] so the answer is yes a external ext3 drive does it too [07:07] rsvampire: reboot now, and see what happens [07:07] how can I make an html doc save any new contents of a text area in the html for next time? (dont say html chan) [07:07] MasterShrek: no I meant I ran sudo update-initramfs -u [07:07] balleyne, i mean...why a single project instead of making them different/ [07:07] mozart: I've never been asked about checking things when I mount them, so I really dont know [07:07] why not** [07:07] will ubuntu work with a Intel PRO/2200BG Wireless? [07:07] how do you guys keep your external drives? [07:07] docgnome: WINE and Ardour and a bunch of other little programs are trying to use my integrated card [07:08] icemario, it does [07:08] rsvampire: ok, probably a good idea [07:08] RoDoX: *shrug* personal preference I guess, people like the choice, they're doing different things in some areas, plus the competition can be healthy [07:08] :MasterShrek alright rebooting now [07:08] hrm. [07:08] whats with these floodbots? [07:08] on my nobo, and i didnt need to install any driver [07:08] how can I make an html doc save any new contents of a text area in the html for next time? [07:08] tuntun: look at tiddlywiki or something [07:08] RoDoX: also, they've got entirely different code bases.. if one was a fork of the other than I guess it would make sense for them to join up, but they're completely separate pieces of software === KK|irssi is now known as `KK`|irssi [07:09] balleyne, i agree. but it seems that the users havnet noticed any difference between each other [07:09] RoDoX: there are many other Desktop Environments too, Fluxbox, XFCE (in Xubuntu), Enlightenment, etc [07:09] tuntun - is php or any type of database available on the server where the HTML is stored? [07:09] balleyne, as far as I know, Xubuntu is a light-project from ubuntu...right [07:09] RoDoX: oh, there are lots of differences, it's just kind of hard to say whether some differences are advantages or disadvantages is most cases I guess [07:09] nope, just a single html doc [07:10] my CTRL+ALT+L for lock screen for some reason isn't working. how do i do it via command line? [07:10] so do you guys keep your external drives formated to ext3? and how do i answersome here highlighted as i am having a difficult time reading it all looks same and moves too fast. [07:10] i see...hard to tell huh? [07:10] RoDoX: yeah, it uses the XFCE environment instead of Gnome or KDE, and a lot of other light-weight apps by default [07:10] RoDoX: it really just a matter of preference mostly. Yes there are differences, but its not something to get real worked up about... 99.9% of the time, if it works in KDE, it will work in Gnome. [07:10] mozart: I just use tab completion mo [07:10] tuntun - So I'm assuming you're using the HTML doc as a local file, not accessing it across the web? [07:10] hi IndyGunFreak [07:10] RoDoX: you should give KDE a try, maybe not by installing it, but burn a live CD of Kubuntu (or some other KDE-based distro) to give it a spin [07:10] lucian: how goes it... [07:10] yes [07:10] what is the difference between to open a terminal with root instead of 'su'? [07:10] MasterShrek: nope-a-lottapus [07:10] mozart: I've got one drive formatted ext3 I think, my sister has it though [07:10] same stuff different day [07:11] well actually both [07:11] are not the same [07:11] RoDoX: personall, I prefer Gnome I guess, that's what I've stuck with, but we use KDE at my university [07:11] hi i want to put gutsy on a new machine. i want it to have the exact same software packages as another machine I have. what is the easiest way to accomplish this? [07:11] balleyne: lol, now that i disagree w/... I generally prefer KDE only over paying taxes and root canals [07:11] MasterShrek: still detecting and using my slot 0 card (VIA 8237) [07:11] lucian: having probs, or just hanging out? [07:11] Please! I'm in a band, and we have a show saturday. I would like to record it using Ubuntu and can't get my microphone to work! =( Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? [07:11] so you guys mean that there are no apps that RUNS ONLY in one distro version and does not on another one...? [07:11] abhi: do dpkg --get-selections > file on the first [07:11] rsvampire: is snd_via82xx still dispalyed why you type: lsmod | grep snd ? dont paste the output again though :) [07:11] MasterShrek: I tried running gconf-editor and editing some ALSA settings and that didn't work eiterh [07:12] Myrtti: ok then? [07:12] Myrtti: does that include dependancies? [07:12] i am having troubles with aMSN, suddenly the app opens but there is nothing inside, this never happened before, is it because of my theme, i mean i open aMSN but the window is just empty [07:12] Please: what is the difference between to open a terminal with root instead of 'su'? Are not the same thing? [07:12] abhi: you could create an image of the partition and copy it over.. that would make sense for large deployments, but for a single copy there might be simpler options [07:12] tiddlywiki looks good :) [07:12] Hey guys... [07:12] abhi: get the file to the second and do dpkg --set-selections < file [07:12] RoDoX: nope, not that I've ever heard of [07:13] mozart: why not just use pidgin? [07:13] mozart: you can use pidgin for msn [07:13] RoDoX: there's a difference between distros and desktop environments though [07:13] MasterShrek: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48176/ [07:13] i dont know how to use pidgin, it never shows me all my contacts [07:13] Myrtti: and what about if I want to create large installations? [07:13] RoDoX: but, generall speaking, no in either case [07:13] abhi: then there was smth with dselect which I can't remember [07:13] it would seem it's still showing up [07:13] Anyone know where the hell to get the Snow Globe plugin for compiz? I heard about it on Linux Action Show and I can't find the plug in anywhere...I can find video's...but no actual plugin...anyone know where to get this? [07:13] Myrtti: I want to have a custom install. how do i do that? [07:13] abhi: *shrug* get a proxy ;-) [07:13] can anyone recommend a program that can manage downloads of my network centrally? [07:14] balleyne, should i be concerned about virus for ubuntu? [07:14] Myrtti: u mean i need to set up an apt mirror? [07:14] hello [07:14] i open pidgin give it my login and all, and then its just empty, i cant see my contacts and all the other stuff i am used to [07:14] abhi: sorry, got to run for shopping [07:14] I typed "blacklist snd_via82xx" in the initramfs file was that the wrong thing to type? [07:14] rsvampire: well its still getting loaded...weird, how about adding: rmmod snd_via82xx to /etc/rc.local ? [07:14] apt-get -u dselect-upgrade <-- abhi [07:14] tuntun - good luck with that, in that case! I know it's obviously possible if the server has sql support, or at least PHP, cause you can use PHP code that will dump the contents to a text file, then retrieve the contents of that file and put them in the text box. But without those, I'm sure it's possible, just not easily. If you find out though, let me know, cause I've been wondering how to do it without PHP/sql myself! [07:14] google is your friend [07:14] lonejack, 'su -' is identical as it gives root's environment, using sudo it's sudo -i [07:14] RoDoX: i run Gnome on 1 laptop, and mY PC, and I run Xfce on an old laptop that I have. There are a couple of KDE apps that I like(Amarok, Ktorrent to name two), if you want to use them on Gnome, use them, when you apt-get install, it will resolve a bunch of dependencies, so you can use them, same w/ gnome on KDE, and gnome/kde apps on xfce [07:14] RoDoX: no, ubuntu doesn't even ship with anti-virus software by default [07:14] !blacklist [07:14] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [07:14] is there a way to check what permissions a file has through a script? [07:15] i need to check if it is executable [07:15] rsvampire: /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist i guess [07:15] balleyne: either does Windows ;) [07:15] corruptionoflulz: tiddlywiki is a dhtml ajax thing that'll edit its own data, locally [07:15] mage__: ok can u tell me how to do that with apt? [07:15] weps [07:15] mage__: again? [07:15] mosno: haha, true, but windows doesn't ship with much of anything [07:15] pidgin just shows me when someone is logged in, i cant send offline messages to anyone, also i cant see my contacts in the first place, what to do? [07:15] MasterShrek: that file is blank, do it anyways? [07:15] well, another question is: is there a way to elegantly "lock" a program from a user? that way a particular user can't run in a particular time? [07:15] balleyne: indeed [07:15] rsvampire: the initramfs just has to do with the order of when they are loaded [07:15] RoDoX: though there's a bit of a debate whether or not you should be running anti-virus software in linux, but most people don't - however, you could install clamav from the ubuntu repos if you want a virus scanner [07:15] whoa, there is a lot of commotion here! [07:16] mozart: what do you mean doesn't show you your contacts?.. and I get offlne messages all the time [07:16] rsvampire: i was wondering that too, is there a different file in /etc/modprobe.d that has somethign to do with blacklisting? [07:16] abhi: I'm actually clueless as far as doing this, never actually done it [07:16] c0mp13371331337: well actually someone just earlier suggest "tiddlywiki", and it looks like what I'm after :) [07:16] ok can u see all your msn contacts in Pidgin please tell me how to [07:16] RoDoX: (some argue that virus scanning in linux is at least a help to windows friends, so viruses aren't spread even if infection is not a concern) [07:16] balleyne, not sure where this debate is taking place, you'd be pressed to find anyone recommending antivirus unless serving windows files [07:16] run a command on computer A, copy file to computer B, run two commands, should do it [07:16] hang on i go open it now [07:16] astro76: true, I guess I'm thinking more about firewalls, lumping the two together [07:16] mage__: ok and what will that do? [07:16] Piratero, if [ -x filename ] [07:17] balleyne, that makes more sense ;) [07:17] mozart: buddies > show > offline buddies [07:17] oh good [07:17] wait where is that option please [07:17] I dont have to answer his question, as I'm clueless ;) [07:17] balleyne: if the Windows folk aren't running a local a/v, they've got bigger fish to fry [07:17] ckin2001: ah thanks... do you also happen to know an elegant way of "disabling" a specific user to being able to execute a particular program? [07:17] RoDoX: if you want a more advanced firewall than the basic iptables in Ubuntu, I believe Firestarter is a good choice [07:17] mosno: im running windows with no a/v [07:17] MasterShrek: I've got "blacklist" "blacklist-framebuffer" "blacklist-modem" "blacklist-oss" "blacklist-scanner" and "blacklist-watchdog" [07:17] mozart: try clcicking your buddies menu, show, then click "offline buddies" [07:17] mozart: i just told you [07:17] ckin2001: i'm writing a program where i can toggle the user's ability to execute this program [07:17] MasterShrek: but no "my_blacklist" file [07:17] * mosno hands mage__ a large frypan [07:17] mosno: I've been running windows with no a/v longer than you've been running linux [07:18] mosno: hehe very true [07:18] mage__: yes but you're elite [07:18] ok thanks i will try now, at the moment all i see is a white plain window and nothing at all [07:18] rsvampire: hmm, im honestly not very familiar with ubuntu's module schem there, i would think in blacklist [07:18] good answer! i'm gonna try this firestarter! and one more thing...do you think that ubuntu (server edition) is mature enough to use as a server manager? [07:18] oh [07:18] Piratero, you could have a group setup that is allowed to execute this program, and add/remove the user from that group [07:18] is there other lines in blacklist that look like they are blacklisting modules? [07:18] Piratero, or, you could muck around with linux acls - quite a mess [07:19] MasterShrek: there we go... that's the correct file [07:19] mozart: check show offline buddies, and show empty groups === xstasi`afk is now known as xstasi [07:19] i mean, as a server Open source operating system? [07:19] RoDoX: I'm using ubuntu as a server at home, but personally I prefer other distros, we use Debian and Red Hat at my office [07:19] and why ubuntu doesnt have your preference? [07:19] woah woah woah keywords [07:19] ok COOL yes that worked, thank you, and i thought gnome was supposed to be simple, or maybe i am too dumb, i would never have thought of looking in there, but then i have not used pidgin before, after trying 1 time [07:19] MasterShrek: so just type "snd_via82xx" in the blacklist file right? I don't have to have a command for it or anything? [07:20] ckin2001: thanks!!!! [07:20] rodox: probably because of the release schedule? [07:20] mozart: thathas nothing to do w/ gnome, thats a setting in pidgin you didn't havge set correctly [07:20] tjl11, wht do you mean? [07:20] RoDoX: the sudo thing in Ubuntu is a bit annoying when you're working with a server... for one thing.. *shrugs*.. but it's been working fine for me at home, but I'm only doing a few simpler things and it's doubling as a workstation [07:20] ok [07:20] Etch is newer than LTS iirc [07:20] rsvampire: i think you want: blacklist snd_via82xx rsvampire are there other lines in there that look liek that? [07:20] mozart: if anything, its a pidgin *issue*, but its really not an issue, it just installs default w/ those options unchecked. [07:20] balleyne: sudo bash, set a root password, go from there [07:20] rsvampire: also change back the initramfs stuff you did, and reupdate that [07:20] ok thanks guys that helped me out [07:20] balleyme: sudo passwd root [07:21] !noroot [07:21] Regardless of your choice: Please do not advise against user security policy and create a root password, please see !rootsudo [07:21] balleyme: I wouldn't suggest it though [07:21] ubotu comes to my defence, lol [07:21] tjl11: lol, you just did. [07:21] nice cover [07:21] =P [07:21] balleyne, in other words, it works properly, right? [07:21] MasterShrek: I've got a few yeah "usb mouse, usbkbd, eepro100, de4x5, eth1394, snd_intel8x0m, i2c_i801" [07:21] i always just sudo sh and have myself a root shell [07:22] I actually didnt know how to do that, but the fact that ubuntu is configured that way by default lends itself more to desktop use than server use in my opinion [07:22] eh, i use su all the time... i'm too lazy to keep repeating sudo all the time, hehehe [07:22] chin2001: that's even better :D [07:22] is it too heavy, if compared with red hat? [07:22] ckin2001* [07:22] rsvampire: ok, just copy whatever scheme is used for those [07:22] the sudo thing is more of a general sign that it's more desktop oriented than server oriented, at least right now [07:22] rsvampire: if the word blacklist is there, use it, if not just do whatever the others have [07:23] but, you can use sudo su, which is the same thing... [07:23] RoDoX: why are you asking these questions here, this si a support channel,,.,, but Debian is far superior to RH in my opinion. [07:23] RoDoX: to be honest, I'm not expert when it comes to servers or anything, but Red Hat's got the reputation and the years of experience in that space, Ubuntu's been shining in the desktop area and just entering the server space [07:23] MasterShrek: yeah the word blacklist is used so I used it :P alright I'll reboot again and see what happens [07:23] hi there ok, another question for PIDGIN, are there any other cool plugins for it and so, stuff to make it a bit cooler [07:24] mozart: i'm really not sure, i consider it a pretty good program to begin w/. [07:24] mozart: guifications [07:24] RoDoX: Ubuntu's been fine for me as a server, I'd try it, sure, but other distros are more mature in that respect and have been around for longer [07:24] ahem, slackware, ahem [07:24] balleyne, red hat is the brand name. its not free. [07:24] sorry, got an itch in my throat [07:24] RoDoX: Red Hat being the big name, something like Debian being closer to Ubuntu in design but closer to Red Hat in terms of.. proving itself over time I guess [07:24] um no what GUIfications but like sending more smiley stuff and so [07:24] MasterShrek: what are those?.. i've heard of them but never tried them [07:24] balleyne: I like debian better as a server distro rather than ubuntu. [07:24] because the ubuntu forum has no ppl up to answer these questions and i need to know what distro is the best thing no matter if this is either for each single machine or for some opteron X2-based server... [07:24] sorry not GUIfications but more stuff for sending [07:25] mozart, if you want some plugins for pidgin, you can always "sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack" [07:25] IndyGunFreak: like a little pop up that says when people log in or out, you can also use it for when they are away, idle, stuff liek that [07:25] RoDoX: whats best, is the last one you try, there is no "best".. [07:25] ckin2001: it's free in the important sense, just not in the sense of cost - but CentOS is a clone of RHEL and that's free in both senses of the word [07:25] most of them are silly though [07:25] tj11: agreed [07:25] MasterShrek: hm, where do i get it? [07:25] ok cool thats sounds nice, i will check it now, does it have the extra smilies [07:25] RoDoX: think of distro as how it comes out of the box, and you can change it however you want. [07:26] true, but there is 'better than'..isnt there? [07:26] i don't think so but it does add a lot more features [07:26] IndyGunFreak: well to be honest, i dont know in ubuntu lol, you it may be part of a plugins package in apt somewhere, else theres always the old fashioned way [07:26] RoDoX: but nobody can tell you what's better, what works for some, doesn't work for others, fact of life. [07:26] IndyGunFreak, that may be true, but debians better [07:26] MasterShrek: I also re-updated my initramf file as well [07:26] MasterShrek: well, i was thinking the old fashioned away anyways [07:26] RoDoX: yeah, agreed... "better than" meaning less tweaking...some distros are more well suited for certain uses, so you don't need to customize the software as much [07:26] MasterShrek: hey hey! it's gone... fantastic [07:26] sorry about this, but im a new dumb in the linux world.... [07:26] rsvampire: good luck :) [07:26] awesome [07:27] balleyne said everything. [07:27] anyone using moblock or ipblock tell me which ones better... [07:27] IndyGunFreak: lemme find you a link [07:27] ckin2001: i agree, but the thing is, if you have some major hardware prob, etc, that you can't overcome in Debian, but you can in say, Redhat, then you're probably going to use redhat. [07:27] RoDoX: I'm using ubuntu because both redhat and debian bit me in the ass as far as upgrading packages goes [07:27] MasterShrek: that was seriously an annoying issue! so I have a question... even though it's disabled in the BIOS why was Ubuntu still detecting and using it? [07:27] they only real difference between distros are the package managers, and the repos... haha [07:27] RoDoX: haha, I don't mind, I'm only a few months ahead of you - dig around online, there are lots of good linux mags and blogs and such out there, I've been taking everything in daily via RSS feeds and just learning everything I can [07:27] IndyGunFreak: could just use redhat kernel in debian ;) [07:27] rsvampire: i have no idea [07:28] mage__: we're talking to newbies here...

Version 2.14-3 (gutsy), package size 157 kB, installed size 1000 kB [07:28] IndyGunFreak, i gave redhat several chances, and every time ended up in dependency hell. i'll use windows instead of redhat [07:28] :) [07:28] MasterShrek: hmm, thanks.. i've not found it. [07:29] ckin2001: what about uh, apt-rpm? yum? rpmplzwork? [07:29] Hello, I know very little about Ubuntu though, I am curious is there a way to run windows based programs? Games in particular is what I'm looking for. Love to try out Ubuntu but being a gamer, it has me hesitant. [07:29] ckin2001: is that including Fedora?

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[07:35] MasterShrek: lol! how did you do a smack command? (I've forgotten nearly all the IRC commands [07:35] thanks astro76 === max` is now known as max [07:35] rsvampire: i typed that manually, it was always just a script in mirc or something [07:35] oh and for you guys with the sudo sandwhich [07:35] here's a pic [07:35] http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/sandwich.png [07:36] rsvampire - Duuuuuude, that's awesome.

[07:36] rsvampie: ubotu even linked to that comic in it's xkcd factoid, lol, I was impressed! [07:36] indygunfreak- I couldn't find a good link to it [07:37] balleyne: wow! yeah he's a pretty intelligent bot [07:37] Ladyrelena: thats a general faq on how to setup 99% of wireless devices, read through it. [07:37] IndyGunFreak: in your buddy list: tools > plugins [07:37] do you guys like solaris? [07:37] IndyGunFreak: you may need to restart pidgin first though [07:37] MasterShrek: duh...lol, i don't know why i didn't look there..,. thanks [07:37] IndyGunFreak: i especially like the ATER theme for it [07:37] hey all. Any suggestions for a good live cd for trouble shooting windows computers? IE virus scan software, scubbers, keytracker finders etc? [07:38] IndyGunFreak: youll have to google it though [07:38] MasterShrek: ok, thanks...i'm looking through it now. [07:38] ppcguy: might want to check out SystemRescueCD, not sure if that's exactly what you're after though [07:38] ppcguy - Yup, it's called the Ubuntu Live CD. It will take care of ALL your Windows problems! [07:38] thanks, looking through that site right now [07:38] * Jay-Oh-En can see you [07:39] I do a lot of trouble shooting for my job, and just think it would be a lot easier with a live disk [07:39] hi iv just got my comp and want 2 no if frostwire with go with my Ubuntu softwere [07:39] ppcguy: I think it's more useful for recovery, either getting files, repartitioning things, resetting windows passwords, etc - its great for that. Not sure that it'll scan for viruses though or anything [07:39] MasterShrek: so what distro/version are you running man? [07:40] ppcguy - So just very general software? Cause I know they have live CDs of tools that search for SPECIFIC viruses and malware, but I would assume you're looking for an all-in-one? [07:40] would'nt know ae how do i find out [07:40] what's a good reason to use ubuntu instead of slackware? [07:40] rsvampire: slamd64 on my laptop, slackare on my file server [07:40] MasterShrek: how often does pidgin update/upgrade?..lol, I think i've recompiled 2x this month..lol [07:40] balleyne: That's the prob I'm running into.. Thinking I might have to go the morphix route and just make something custom [07:40] icemario: package manager [07:40] If I have a file in /Folder1 I want to link to /Folder1/Folder2/blah.pdf, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative [07:40] slack has no package manager? [07:40] IndyGunFreak: not really sure, whats it at now? [07:40] 3.1 [07:40] well, 2.3.1 i think [07:41] IcemanV9: it does, but slack's package mangager doesnt download packages from the net [07:41] MasterShrek: i just compiled 2.3.0, proably 2 weeks ago..lol [07:41] IndyGunFreak: i havent updated it for awhile, maybe i should and i could stop using amsn for my msn account tath wont connect [07:41] icemario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware#Package_management [07:41] MasterShrek: yeah I'm just using Ubuntu 64 dual booting XP I tried KDE but I'm gunna wait until KDE4 comes out [07:41] 2.3.1 fixed alot of msn bugs [07:42] rsvampire: im stoked for kde4, not until next month i guess [07:42] MasterShrek: i know when i went from like 2.2.1, to something else, there were some security bugs they fixed. [07:42] hi..i got problem when start my web server using ssl.. it show " Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: [07:42] SSLEngine not allowed here " [07:42] I'm on it right now [07:42] :) [07:42] * MasterShrek is all over pidgin 2.3.1 [07:42] how to solve it? [07:42] hadiaziam: what does that line of the file say? [07:42] balleyne: SSLEngine On [07:42] any reason to use ubuntu over solaris? [07:43] * tjl11 smacks mastershrek with a trout [07:43] :P [07:43] hadiaziam: did you add that yourself? seems like it's gotta be moved elsewhere maybe... I dunno, maybe the context of the line is the issue? *shrugs* [07:43] * MasterShrek wipes the slime off [07:43] * Jay-Oh-En eats the trout [07:43] MasterShrek: I know! I love the new library thing they are doing! and I've been thinking about running Hackentosh OS X on my computer [07:43] icemario: Solaris is non-free, it's not open source (though it may be one day) [07:43] balleyne: yes..i add myself [07:43] icemario: open source is powerful [07:43] i follow from ubuntu guide [07:44] MasterShrek: because now with KDE 4 you can run KDE programs naitivly in Leopard, I think OS X and Linux are gunna make huge leaps in 2008 because Vista sucks so bad [07:44] icemario: and Solaris isn't linux, it would be easier to migrate from ubuntu to red hat or debian or suse or whatever since they're all linux, solaris would be more of a change [07:44] im running vista dual boot on this machine, seems to run fine for me, havent had many problems [07:44] icemario: so you have much more freedom with linux, at least as things stand today [07:44] disabled alot of stuff though [07:44] hey im iv got 4.1 i think would frostwire work with that or what should i use? [07:44] balleyne: actually you can download solaris for free [07:45] tjl11: I'm talking about free in the important sense - freedom [07:45] MasterShrek: I'm just tierd of Windows in general... been running it my whole life and I'm tierd of all this DRM, CD Key, Can't Do Anything to My Interface Operating System [07:45] balleyne: ah okay [07:45] rsvampire: then you'll find a linux distro you like... eventually [07:45] I tried the command shutdown -F -r now but it restarted without doing a check [07:45] how big is a desktop ubuntu install? [07:46] on your hard drive? [07:46] rsvampire: i hear you, i dont really have a reason for having vista on it, but i figure i better know about it a little bit, it will be around when i get a job and stuff [07:46] icemario: 4-5 GB I think, depends what else you install [07:46] icemario: probably about 3-4GB [07:46] icemario: Xubuntu might be a bit smaller [07:46] IndyGunFreak: yeah, I'm starting with Ubuntu because I'm a noob but I think I like Debian and the .deb system better than the .rpm files [07:46] nah I'll stop using VMware [07:46] I'll go native [07:46] then I have 512 mb of ram [07:47] rsvampire: well, personal opinion, the debian package system, absolutely kills RPM, in my opinion, but tis all opinion [07:47] MasterShrek: yeah that's what Microsoft has going for it... software and driver compatibility and lots of it [07:47] 2nd that IndyGunFreak [07:47] rsvampire: its about the biggest thing they got working for em [07:47] longhorn is coming out [07:47] IndyGunFreak: yeah I totally agree with you there... and that's what I like about Linux... you can have an opinion and can choose one that works for you and your needs === `KK`|irssi is now known as KK-irssi [07:48] MasterShrek: yeah, only thing I don't like about Linux so far are the buggier drivers and softwares [07:48] icemario: longhorn was codename for vista iirc [07:48] MasterShrek: Nah, I think the biggest thing is wasted space, or perhaps used up RAM. Oh, you meant GOOD things... [07:48] anyone using moblock or ipblock tell me which ones better... [07:48] hi, is there any way to transfer files using ANY im client to gtalk on winxp [07:48] MasterShrek: sure everything is free, and they are all very useful and pretty but sometimes they don't work as well as they should [07:48] rsvampire: it is indeed ... i just wish i could get my GPS to work on Linux, then i'd blow away my XP partition. but I formatted, gave XP 20gigs, ubuntu 230..lol, so i dont use XP for anything but managing my GPS [07:48] MasterShrek: I think it's also being used for Windows Server 2008 though, ran across that today [07:48] longhorn was indeed the codename fo vista [07:49] Global Positioning System? [07:49] havent seen server 2k8, sounds scary [07:49] IndyGunFreak: yeah, I'll probably keep XP and just think of it as a game console by the years end [07:49] ppcguy: that was microsofts way of saying, "lets see how long we can horn these people" [07:49] !death [07:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about death - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:49] rsvampire: yup.

[07:54] MasterShrek: arch is good, i just switched to Openbox [07:54] can we ask question directly in the chan ? [07:54] baba: Yes [07:54] you want me to update everything? [07:54] baba: Ask away [07:54] openbox? whats that a window manager? [07:54] IndyGunFreak: easiest way for me was just copied my xorg.conf from my ubuntu install [07:54] Evanlec: lol, thats one way. [07:54] MasterShrek: yeah [07:55] IndyGunFreak: the only good way for me, as messing with nvidia-settings never got things quite right [07:55] I've got the following problem: I have laptop and I use putty to connect to a linux system where I run a bash script that uses dialogs. Everything is fine. When I try to do the very same thing but using putty from a linux computer the dialogs instead of being grey they have q and % all over the place... like having frames but not with lines but symbols! Plus when I copy the file to my computer, which runs ubuntu, I CANNOT see ANy [07:55] dialogs :((( Please any ideas ? [07:55] ZIDTY: the UUID is a specific id for your hard drive and it's specificed in /etc/fstab so that your drive can be mounted at boot time. If you use a live CD, you can manually mount the drive, check its UUID, and correct it in /etc/fstab [07:55] Evanlec: hmm, [07:55] one more thing guys can you tell me how do you reply to any1 with their nick in here ??? :) [07:55] MasterShrek: pidgin is done compiling... [07:55] MasterShrek: its a more l33t WM [07:56] on my laptop, still going on my pC [07:56] ZIDTY: I just type "username:" - I don't know any IRC commands, lol [07:56] If I have a file in /Folder1 I want to link to /Folder1/Folder2/blah.pdf, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative [07:56] IndyGunFreak: got my slack build runnin on it [07:56] i try to install ubuntu on a box with a bad cd-drive... i can boot the live cd but theres a problem in the install... can i download the iso and mount it directly in the live cd? [07:56] :) [07:56] or can i do a network install when im on the live cd? [07:56] MasterShrek: why are u guys compiling pidgin? ;p [07:57] Evanlec: new version.. and MasterShrek was using a version from like 3mo ago..lol [07:57] baba: are you sure it's a bad CD drive? have you done a check to make sure it's not a bad CD? [07:57] Evanlec: slamd64 doesnt have a package for 2.3.1 [07:57] and its got msn updates i guess [07:57] IndyGunFreak: ah [07:57] and my msn doesnt work in pidgin, i use amsn and its a pain [07:57] baba: What version are you trying to do? I had trouble burning the latest one, took me about 3 tries to make a good cd. [07:57] MasterShrek: you didn't see that security release on Pidgin? it was something to do w/ remote crashing. [07:57] MasterShrek: hmm, let me check the arch repos ;) [07:57] i did no problem on the cd its just my cd drive stop spinning for no reason sometime... [07:57] thnx guys i will try changin stuff in etc/fstab then consult more :) [07:57] timandtom the enw one... [07:57] ahh! ... slamd64 = slackware for amd 64 [07:58] baba: have you done a check disk thing though on the live CD menu? you might want to do that to ensure the integrity of your disk [07:58] IcemanV9: sounds more like a video game [07:58] IcemanV9: its an unofficial port, but yes [07:58] balleyne i did and theres no problem on it... [07:58] Evanlec: i might try arch again on my laptop... ... [07:58] baba: maybe the laser diode is failing... [07:58] how do i update? [07:59] baba: Only thing I can think of is to check the integrity... If thats not it, I can't help :) I installed about 2 weeks ago [07:59] docgnome: you must have had an n64 =P [07:59] optocus: update what? [07:59] MasterShrek: Yeah... Heh :-P [07:59] optocus: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get update, followed by: sudo apt-get upgrade [07:59] baba: does the CD drive stop at the same point in the install always? (not sure of any other methods myself, but I know they're out there) [07:59] =P [07:59] * IndyGunFreak hates upgrading [07:59] * IndyGunFreak hates upgrading... clean install! ftw! [07:59] * MasterShrek is happy not to be using gentoo [07:59] optocus: In Gnome. Click on System->Admin-> UpdateManager [07:59] IndyGunFreak: i think its pretty great [08:00] balleyne im gonna retry to burn a new cd [08:00] hey i just set up an old box i have, and put a 15 inch crt monitor on it that i know can manage 1024*768, but it isn't in the screen resolution list, how would i add it to the list [08:00] tx for the help [08:00] every single thing you install has to be compiled...what a pain [08:00] i asked how i set the resolution to a custom one and i was answered to upgrade the driver first [08:00] Evanlec: im off next weekend, i might mess around with it again [08:00] ok [08:00] Micheru: ATi? Nvidia? [08:00] ati [08:00] baba: did you check the md5sums? [08:00] optocus: lol, well that command will upgrade your distribution. [08:00] * timandtom wonders how you guys can seemingly fix ANYTHING, but can't seem to answer a simple question about file paths [08:00] Rage 128 pro 32MB [08:00] MasterShrek: damn im suprised, only pidgin 2.3.0-2 in the arch repos [08:00] ah ok [08:00] !ati | Micheru [08:01] optocus: what type of video device? [08:01] do hsf's usually have a thermal pad or something i'm about to apply new thermal paste [08:01] Micheru: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:01] Nvidia Indy [08:01] timandtom: did you have a question? [08:01] !nvidia | optocus [08:01] optocus: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:01] there are no proprietary drivers for a Rage card :) [08:01] micheru: you need to make a custom "modeline", google it [08:01] if you are lazy for nvidia get automatix, thought I don't suggest it since you won't learn much [08:01] Evanlec: only pidgin 2.3.0-2?.. lol, slackers(although i think Ubuntu only has like 2.2.0 in the repos) [08:02] bigal: these days yes they usually come with some thermal compound on there, if u have u own paste, scrape that off first and use ur own [08:02] ppcguy: don't recommend automatixc here. [08:02] Is there a precompiled syslinux package? [08:02] not compound [08:02] between the fan and heatsink [08:02] ppcguy, i dont suggest it because it's inherently broken [08:02] optocus: don't use automatix [08:02] ppcguy: automatix has a real spotty reputation, not a great idea [08:02] micheru: you need to make a custom "modeline", and paste it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:02] i had 2.2.1, but i dont know if i installed that or if it was already there lol [08:02] IndyGunFreak: yea, well, im guessing its because arch users dont care as much about an app like pidgin because its not very 'l33t' idk ;p [08:02] IndyGunFreak: i don't think there is a propriotry driver for my card [08:02] IndyGunFreak: I'm not in any way advocating it, however there are those that pop in here for the quick answer, seems to be the best way to weed those out [08:02] ppcguy: when you recommend it, you advocate it. [08:02] balleyne: Yeh, I have a file in /Folder1, i need to link it to /Folder1/Folder2/file, what would the filepath be? I need it to be relative so it works on different computers as well [08:02] !automatix | ppcguy [08:02] ppcguy: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [08:03] evanlec: I edited the PKGBUILD, I have 2.3.1 [08:03] tuntun: ill have a look thanks [08:03] ppcguy: and the best way to ensure they come back for more help later on ;) [08:03] NVidia GeForce4 MX440, and the LCD has resolution 1680x1050 [08:03] ppcguy, no, it's not. they come back later with much more than just a simple problem [08:03] balleyne: lol [08:03] optocus: ok, there's instructions on that page to install the nvidia driver. [08:03] tjl11: lol...u just edited the pkgbuild, what edits did u have to make? [08:03] tjl11: upload to AUR! [08:03] very true. I recant my previous statement and offer up a Vista box for sacrafic [08:03] Evanlec: i was just looking at that... AUR looks very appealing [08:04] somebody already did use procmail? [08:04] ok thanks [08:04] IndyGunFreak: aur is indeed appealing, so is ABS (the arch build system) [08:04] hmm [08:04] timandtom: the path for a symbolic link shouldn't really matter.. I mean, as long as you get it right in the command to create the link, it will then work fine on that machine - not sure what you mean about on other computers though, do you mean accessed through a network? or when you copy it over to another machine? [08:04] Evanlec, is there usually a pad between the fan and heatsink, i toko mine apar tto clean it but it was old and filled with dust [08:05] IndyGunFreak: tho tbh ive only compiled a couple packages myself [08:05] wussy..lol [08:05] bigal: ive heard of using toothpaste if u got no putty for it [08:05] bigal: i think there should be nothing between the fan and heatsink as thatwould restrict airflow [08:05] I'm switchin' to Gentoo! [08:05] bigal: i dont know for sure if thats ok to do or not though [08:05] sploodge: see ya next week [08:05] [08:05] I configurei the postfiz, but if sending messages to the procmail, they will not. I set the procmail? [08:05] exit [08:05] Anyone have any ideas on removing the color 'hints' that GNOME is giving firefox to change the color of web-widgets, certain text, etc within a web page? Because of my odd color scheme, some text gets changed to a different color, and I just want to see it how the web master intended it. [08:05] sploodge: any specific reason? [08:05] Hi all [08:06] IndyGunFreak: well, yea, but remember Arch has a rolling release system, whereby things are getting updated down the pipe all the time [08:06] Gee, I'm not stupid. [08:06] MasterShrek, i have thermal paste, i didn't know if it was a crappy old pad or just a ton of dust in betwene the two (7 YEARS WORTH) [08:06] Evanlec: i'm gonna have to look into arch further. [08:06] IndyGunFreak: including things like the kernel [08:06] bigal: yea, probably time for giving your pc a good blow job [08:06] sploodge: i didn't say you were stupid, i just said see ya next week... Gentoo is really a distro for advanced users. [08:06] Uh, where can I find the syslinux package? [08:06] bigal: more likely the latter [08:06] Evanlec: you dont compile your kernel manually? [08:06] balleyne: I'm putting the links into an open office spreadsheet(#openoffice is dead, i tried), and the filepath for me is /home/brian/Folder1/Folder2/file, when it goes to a friends computer, the link wont work because it points to /home/brian [08:06] @IndyGunFreak: I've used BSD. [08:06] MasterShrek: well u certainly can, but let me see here [08:07] Evanlec: i see, what u running currently? [08:07] btw is it 64 bit? [08:07] balleyne: so i need the filepath to be something that doesnt require /home/brian at the beginning [08:07] sploodge: well, i've used Gentoo, for a week.. just because you use it, doesn't mean you understand it... [08:07] MasterShrek: 2.6.23-ARCH SMP PREEMPT [08:07] MasterShrek: and yes [08:07] Evanlec, way ahead of you guys, its down in pieces at cousin's house just working on it an dinstalling/configuring ubuntu on his comp [08:08] " modeline "800x600@60" 40.0 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync" what are all the numbers after "800x600@60"? [08:08] QOTD: "just because you use it, doesn't mean you understand it..." bwahahaa! [08:08] Evanlec: Linux 2.6.24-rc5 x86_64 [08:08] MasterShrek: lol that the latest? [08:08] yea [08:08] nice [08:08] Why the hell does this distro not have apt repos!? [08:08] Isn't that the Windoze slogan? [08:08] Evanlec, so just thermal paste the hsf with nothing between the fan and heatsink and thermal paste it to the cpu [08:09] havent encountered any bugs with the rc's? [08:09] c0mp13371331337, we crash, so you don't have to? === schlort_ is now known as schlort [08:09] simplechat: More like "We crash, so you know what to expect." [08:09] Heh.... [08:09] timandtom: oooh, I thought you were talking about symbolic linking on the filesystem level... I've never dealt with links in OpenOffice.org, but I know about general filesystem paths... so, ~ is your home directory, . is your current directory (or nothing means current too), so, just Folder1/Folder2/file would work, or ./Folder1/Folder2/file... that might work, but your friend will need to have that file in the same [08:09] c0mp13371331337: their tech support slogan is, "Please restart your computer [08:09] bigal: apply a very small amount of paste on the cpu (spread it evenly with a credit card) and then clamp down the hsf, thats it [08:10] Dude, I work in tech support, I think it's ANY tech support's slogan. [08:10] bigal: you should be able to google installing a cpu fan, its easy though [08:10] c0mp13371331337: true.... [08:10] timandtom, how about just "were just in it for the money." [08:10] the cpu fan install ins't the problem i just wanted to know about a thermal pad [08:10] timandtom: sounds like a messy thing to do in general though, is there any reason you need to link to it? is there another way to just put the content in the file (maybe link to somewhere else within the file) or something? *shrugs*, it just seems like it's really easy for that sort of thing to break [08:10] * IndyGunFreak has no room to talk, had a CPU fan fall off a PC he built 2yrs ago...lol, still not sure how that happened [08:11] Hey, how do I get the Ubuntu version? [08:11] What's worse, I work for RESTAURANT tech support, where stupid hostesses call in, wondering why their system lost sync with the network after having been on for 7 months straight. [08:11] IndyGunFreak: did the cpu fry? [08:11] Evanlec: no... fortunately when the PC shut down, the lady i built it for had enough sense that she knew something was wrong [08:11] how do I get the opensuse 10.3 look for my gutsy desktop? :) [08:11] evanlec,bigal: you can use your finger, smear a bit on the cpu and a bit on the heatsink [08:11] she started it back up, on for 10min, back off... then she called me. [08:11] sploodge, lsb_release -r [08:11] Evanlec: i'm not really sure how it happened, i'm pretty anal when I build PC's, making sure everything is tight, etc... [08:12] Evanlec: but she had recently moved, and i think it might have gotten jostled in the move [08:12] IndyGunFreak: yea, well processor must have had the safety mechanism whereby it throttles itself if it gets too hot [08:12] Evanlec: who knows.. i figure it probably shut down due to heat. [08:13] balleyne: Ok, ill try that. And yeh, i tend to do things the hard way XD Easier in the end, hard now. btw, would I need to add file:// at the front? or however thats supposed to be spelled [08:13] IndyGunFreak: on older AMD processors this feature was not there, and thus, losing the hsf would cause your cpu to reach 800C in a matter of seconds [08:13] I'm a long time Linux user (Red Hat, Fedora). I just tried Ubuntu 7.xx in my laptop with Windows XP Pro and now I can't boot XP. [08:13] yikes...lol [08:13] IndyGunFreak: all processors today have a heat-sensor shut off [08:14] i cant remember what type of CPU this one had, I know it was AMD, cuz thats about all I use... I think it was 2.1 Athlon [08:14] IndyGunFreak: needless to say the processor was fried [08:14] timandtom: hmm, yes... I think two // would be correct... three would be part of the filesystem (ie. the root directory) - but I think you'll need to just use trial and error for that [08:14] sounds it. [08:14] Evanlec and IndyGunFreak: Outa curiosity, whats about safe max temp for a CPU? [08:14] evanlec: I can't upload my pkgbuild to AUR [08:14] timandtom: i always figure if i can't smell it, its safe..lol [08:15] balleyne: Ok, thanks. Ill try some stuff out, and probably be back in a few :) [08:15] timandtom: processor should not be above 70C under any circumstance [08:15] Evanlec, IndyGunFreak: the well known video to demonstrate cpu asplosions is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNUK3U73SI [08:15] tjl11: why not? [08:15] the guys in #archlinux says I'm not allowed to do that [08:15] tuntun: that the one from toms hardware? i love that video [08:15] tjl11: wtf? anyone can upload to aur [08:15] IndyGunFreak: Good plan, haha, but I'd rather not trial and error myself to death :P [08:15] yeah :P [08:16] yes! [08:16] timandtom: :) [08:16] awesome tuntun [08:16] IndyGunFreak: watc that video its great [08:16] Evanlec: watching now. [08:16] I just tried installing Ubuntu in my laptop with XP Pro in it. I'm a long time Red Hat, Fedora user. How come this Ubuntu whacked my XP Pro. I can't even start XP anymore. [08:17] Evanlec: lol, thats hilarious. [08:17] I am having trouble with edubuntu I have just installed it, the client boot untill the splash screen progress bar is about 3/4 done then stops can anyone help ? [08:17] xwin_ You destroyed MBR with new OS [08:17] yeap [08:18] neil_d: try booting in recovery mode maybe, so that there's no splash and you can see where it's stopping and what it's saying... *shrugs* [08:18] Do you have Ubuntu cd? [08:19] evanlec you getting my messages? [08:19] yeap [08:19] Reinstall GRUB with CD.... === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu [08:19] tjl11: you have to be registered tos end PMs [08:19] I got every LiveCD [08:19] hey guys how do i hange the colour of the fonts here, i found how to change the size, i am in X-CHAT Gnome 0.18, also how do i change the background picture, but not multiplied but just one [08:19] tjl11: yea honestly i dont care about the package myself, but i think u should upload to aur for everyones benefit [08:20] xwin: SuperGrub might be handy? *shrugs* [08:20] balleyne, how do I do that the client is just booting ? [08:20] mozart: edit/preferences/colors tab. [08:20] I just run 'grub' and found supposed to be hd0,2 as location of mbr [08:20] ok thanks [08:20] when I tried root(hd0,2) it says unrecofngized [08:20] and how to with the picture in the background [08:20] xwin:"How come this Ubuntu whacked my XP Pro" it did you a favour! ;) [08:20] That's location of ubuntu, not XP [08:21] so i have one small picture ii want in the middle [08:21] tuntun LOL [08:21] mozart: picture in the background? [08:21] neil_d: when it starts to boot, GRUB should come up for a second, you may need to press escape to see the menu, looking for something that says GRUB before the splash (and any instructions to get to the menu) and then select recovery mode from the menu [08:21] I booted a liveCD and run 'grub' [08:21] mozart: that would be the effects tab.. sorry. [08:21] mozart: everything is in the prefs [08:21] balleyne, ok [08:21] mozart: the meaning of life, is in the prefs. [08:21] I know my MBR should be at hd0,2 but when I run root(hd0,2) it says unrecognized [08:21] indeed [08:21] xwin: yeah but its easy to fix after a few times, just involves rewriting the Master Boot Record [08:22] ummmmm ok lemme see [08:22] and IndyGunFreak and i are going to give u tag-team support ;p [08:22] lol [08:22] xwin, Your MBR can't be at hd0,2 , it would be just hd0 [08:22] heh [08:22] %C5People.. I wonder who try to install XP after Ubuntu installed on system? === harry_ is now known as newbie === newbie is now known as newbie289 [08:22] %C5 People.. I wonder who try to install XP after Ubuntu installed on system? [08:22] alen: people that didnt plan very well [08:23] xwin, the ",2" part designates the partition, which has a boot sector but no MBR IIRC [08:23] I got XP OS installed in D drive while C: is data drive [08:23] ubuntu can do much but not the latest games [08:23] mozart: thats not ubuntu's fault.... complain to developers who don't write their games for Linux. [08:23] balleyne, there is no grub, the client (ltsp) goes straight into loading the kernel. [08:23] Jordan_U: i believe only one MBR per physical drive [08:24] mozart: if the games were written for Linux, ubuntu would run them fine. [08:24] how do u guys answer another person (soo its highlighted) but without opening another window??? [08:24] Evanlec ? Repeat please what you said? [08:24] mozart: easiest way, is to type thei frist few letters of their name, then hit "tab".. to autocomplete [08:24] mozart: type their name [08:24] !tab | mozart [08:24] mozart: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:24] Evanlec, alen: well installing windows after grub is ok if you used the right tool to make a backup of the tiny MBR [08:24] By including mozart their name in our comments ;) [08:24] how do I set up a Intel PRO/2200BG Wireless card? [08:25] in ubuntu? [08:25] neil_d: hmm.. not sure then.. and I've gotta get going. But my advice would be to find a way to ditch the splash screen at boot so you can view all the normal output, there may be error messages or at least you'd be able to see where it's stopping at - sorry I can't be of more assistance [08:25] Jordan_U: ok [08:25] alen: this channel is for english language, there are other ubuntu channels for other languages [08:25] !wireless [08:25] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:25] !windows [08:25] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents [08:25] this ubuntu should have another name, huh. Windows whacker! [08:25] mozart: but you have to make sure you send it to the right person.. sometimes if you're a bit overzealous, you'll send it to the wrong name, but Xchat-gnome generally doesn't let that happen [08:25] I just wonder if anyone has succeded installing XP after ubuntu and in the end I would like to have Ubuntu and XP... [08:25] IndyGunFreak: cool i got it now its more fun [08:26] alen: its easier to install XP, then ubuntu [08:26] mozart: :) [08:26] alen: much easier [08:26] xwin, Do you need windows "now" ( there is a quick fix that will get windows back and make Ubuntu temporarily unbootable ) or do you want to try to do it correctly first? [08:26] Evanlec: didn't me and you go through the install from hell? [08:26] I'd been using dualboot Windows and Linux for 15 years, first time a LInux whacked my MBR [08:26] oh no wait, that was a guy named Ethen [08:26] IndyGunFreak: mm, not sure [08:26] jordan, that will werk! [08:26] C'mon... I know to install both... [08:27] * IndyGunFreak has nightmares remembering that install. [08:27] But separated [08:27] fdisk /mbr ? [08:27] IndyGunFreak: is there a way to change the colours of every persons text so to make it wasier to read, a bit like in the ubuntuforums.org, where the background is different, so easy to read the comments [08:27] or xp first [08:27] xwin, Yes, or the ms-sys package [08:27] my laptop don't have floppy [08:27] Hey, does anyone in here use visual boy advance? [08:27] neil_d: maybe this might help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-525108.html - alright, I'm out [08:27] mozart: i don't really understand the question, are you wanting 1 color for 1 person, or 1 color text for everybody(if thats what you want, its in the colors tab) [08:27] balleyne: Well, everything I've tried has either done nothing, or given me a General Internet Error [08:28] mnemonica, No, but I own I a visual boy :) [08:28] Jordan_U: Meh... Probably not going to be of help. [08:28] IndyGunFreak: well 2 colours alternating maybe for every post [08:28] can I do that fdisk /mbr with liveCD ? [08:28] mozart: hmm, that i don't know how to do. [08:28] !ati [08:28] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:29] mozart: i think kvirc does something like that.. but i dont like it very much [08:29] aaaa noob question: how to close window in irssi? ;p [08:29] In general... What would one recommend in order to fix choppy sound/crappy sound in a game? [08:29] balleyne: Which, while slightly better then ALL error, isnt much good... Any suggestions? Maybe I just missed something [08:29] Where would I find mbr.bin in syslinux? [08:29] mnemonica: run it under its native OS [08:29] Because this package seems to be missing it. [08:29] xwin, Sort of, it's easiest to do it from a windows install CD but you can also install the ms-sys package from apt while running the LiveCD [08:30] Crap, didnt notice balleyne left [08:30] IndyGunFreak: It's an emulator... Should work... egh. [08:30] mozart: should be able to do that in the text highlight sections, dont ask me how, or use a script === different_realit is now known as differentreality [08:30] mnemonica: emulators are FAR from perfect [08:30] Jordan_U: okay will try a DOS_emu... [08:30] IndyGunFreak: Yeah, kind of figured that out... *sad sigh* [08:30] mnemonica: try using OSS driver or ALSA driver [08:31] xwin: It will be best if you learn how to restore the mbr properly, jordan_u's suggestion is nice but you'll have to do it properly eventually [08:31] Evanlec: Alrighty... Will do. [08:31] is the flash plugin still broked? [08:31] xwin, I don't know if a DOS emulator would work, and it wouldn't likely be any easier than installing the ms-sys package [08:31] hi guys do you know how can i install yahoomessenger? [08:31] sayote, use Pidgin [08:31] Wine. [08:31] apt-get install wine. [08:31] sayote: lot easier to just use pidgin [08:31] Or Pidgin. [08:31] I can always reinstall Linux but my XP got lot [08:31] Pidgin's nice. [08:31] really? [08:31] i cant get kde4 rc2 to install on hardy. please help. [08:31] Yahoo Messenger for Linux is very poor. [08:31] I have problems with Wine... [08:31] didn't we just go through this w/ someone else?..lol [08:32] Damnit! Why does the syslinux package for edgy not have mbr.bin!? [08:32] but i think it was relating to MSN [08:32] hehehehe sorry i'm just new to ubunto [08:32] sayote: yeh. Not as many bells and whistles as windows YIM, but works great. comes preinstalled on ubuntu 7.10 [08:32] tuntun, I know you were directing this at him but I only mention this solution as it is much more deterministic if someone NEEDS windows back for some reason [08:32] i am have trouble with xinerama - is anyone using it? [08:32] sayote: no prob.. but its ubuntU(sorry, pet peeve) [08:32] alen: alcoholics annonymous is in every major city! [08:32] sayote: is pidgin instant messenger, in your Applications/Internet folder? [08:32] *menu [08:32] Or Gaim. [08:32] Gaim's just an older version of Pidgin. [08:32] Evanlec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48179/ <--- That's what I get when I try to select OSS for Sound playback. [08:33] I am having trouble with edubuntu, it is stopping the boot of the client, at about the it says "Starting the ltsp client" :( can anyone help ? [08:33] sploodge: gaim is no longer... Gaim is pidgin now, thanks to AOL [08:33] got it working now thanks guys [08:33] :) [08:33] I'm using Gaim because I can't be bothered fixing dependencies for this Ubuntu variant. [08:33] sayote: see, you just needed a nudge in the right direction [08:33] Evanlec: Or any other sound option, for that matter. [08:33] anyone know if the flash plugin is still broke? [08:33] neil_d, Might try #edubuntu [08:33] sploodge: ?.. fixing dependencies?.. it takes like 5sec [08:33] is anyone using 2 screens? [08:33] Bryan, It is [08:33] hehehehe yep [08:34] Jordan_U, it's still broken? [08:34] Jordan_U: flash is working fine for me.. whast the issue? [08:34] when istalling Wine and try to open it my screen get all black... Is it problem of graphic driver? [08:34] Jordan_U, I have no-one seems to be responding there. [08:34] Chumby - I am [08:34] :o well then can someone help me with getting flash working in opera? it just gives me a grey box. [08:34] hi c0mp - are you using xinerama? [08:34] Are you using 64-bit? [08:34] what is the name of the next release of ubuntu? [08:34] @Bryan, by the way. [08:35] mnemonica: well this is gonna be lame support but, reboot and try again, something may be using your soundcard [08:35] Bryan are you using Ubuntu 64bit? [08:35] IndyGunFreak, General instability causing FF to freeze up, I assumed that's what Bryan was referring to, or not? [08:35] IndyGunFreak, no i'm not [08:35] Jordan_U: wierd.. i watch Youtube, etc, and i' mnot having any probs. [08:35] Jordan_U, flash works fine in Firefox. It's just not working in opera. [08:35] chumby - Nope, MergedFB. Having a problem with Xinerama? [08:35] and sploodge no i'm not using the 64 bit :o [08:35] Evanlec: Not lame at all... I'm really tired, and really new at all of this. In all honesty... I hadn't thought about that. Thanks. [08:35] When installing Wine and try to open it my screen get all black... Is it problem of graphic driver? Anyone can help? [08:35] Jordan_U: "it is much more deterministic" what do you mean? [08:36] Bryan: you probalby need to hotlink the firefox plugin to Opera's plugin folder. [08:37] IndyGunFreak: hotlink? u mean symlink? [08:37] ya, symlimk, thats what i meant, my bad [08:37] tuntun, restoring the windows MBR is always done the same way, regardless of configuration and always works, If adding Windows to the grub menu were as deterministic people would not have problems with the Ubuntu installer not setting it up properly in the first place [08:37] c0mp - yea it is driving me nuts. I have two monitors - one with an onboard card and one in the pci slot - changed my xorg but cant get it working. Any ideas? [08:37] IndyGunFreak: heh [08:37] its getting late or early, whatever, i gotta go play witht eh convicts here in an hour or so. [08:38] tuntun, But I don't use windows, so this is only coming from what I see from this channel [08:38] IndyGunFreak: that sounds like fun [08:38] Evanlec: lol, its a blast [08:41] chumby - pastebin your xorg.conf? I'll take a look [08:42] hey it says (process:27378): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion `display != NULL' failed [08:42] Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0); [08:42] when I go to youtube [08:42] IndyGunFreak:convicts? D tell!!! [08:42] does ubuntu have something like http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ ? [08:42] tuntun: lol, long story, that woudl go way off topic for the channel..lol [08:42] anyone got any ideas on why that would be? [08:43] tuntun: short version, i work in a max. security prison [08:43] whats that command, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:43] IndyGunFreak:wow... [08:43] bryan: havge yout ried getting flasht ow ork in opera? [08:43] IndyGunFreak:sounds fun :O [08:43] Evanlec: Hey, rebooted, was able to test OSS for all sound options except for sound capture. That gives me the same error. [08:43] IndyGunFreak, assuming that means "have I trie getting flash to work in opera" then Yes. Thats what I'm trying to do right now [08:43] tuntun: it has its days [08:43] chumby - also, if you get this in time, include the output of lspci. [08:44] http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/howto-install-the-latest-opera-browser-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon/ [08:44] mnemonica: wouldnt worry about capture for now, switch to oss drvier and try u game [08:44] tuntun: pay attention to the end of that [08:44] Evanlec: Mmmmk. [08:44] well maybe not. [08:45] Jordan_U: is that freeze up problem, is it effecting iceweasel? [08:45] how do i make ion3 my default window manager? [08:45] hey anyone know that command to reconfigure the xserver [08:45] IndyGunFreak, using flash in iceweasel is just wrong [08:45] Jordan_U: lol [08:46] IndyGunFreak: Is your job anything like "Oz"? [08:46] bigal, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:46] tuntun: Oz, while entertaining, is VERY sensationalized [08:46] sd32_, ty [08:46] IndyGunFreak, I must admit, I seem to somehow get fewer freezes with FF3b but then again, I get none with FF2 in safe mode [08:46] I have a problem on a workstation that has been migrated from 7.04 to 7.10 [08:47] hmm [08:47] Jordan_U: i'm nto having any issues, was just trying to help bryan through this. [08:47] nautilus seems to hang at random moments after "doing something" with it [08:47] Is there a hotkey to just open up terminal? Not that fullscreen, boot into DOS similar one, just the Applications>Accessories>Terminal one [08:47] IndyGunFreak: Lol, i suppose thats always the case :) [08:47] :) [08:47] Evanlec: Nope. Same problems. [08:48] markvandenborre, is it on a desktop-effects capable machine? [08:48] Jordan_U: what about ephiphany? [08:48] timandtom - I've found Tilda to be rather nice for that. [08:48] IndyGunFreak, Try going to a page with a bunch of youtube videos on it then navigating away from it while they are playing, that is how I have been able to trigger it fairly consistently [08:48] Whuzzat c0mp13371331337 [08:48] desktop-effects are switched off [08:48] Hides itself away til you hit F1, then it drops out of a corner for an instant terminal [08:48] Jordan_U: i surf tons of pages while youtube is running, and i've had no issues.. very wierd. [08:49] markvandenborre, check if xgl is running anyway. i had a problem when i dist-upgraded this laptop that xgl was running regardless [08:49] c0mp13371331337: Ok, i might look into that. Theres not just a hotkey for terminal? I'd rather not always run something if i can help it [08:49] Evanlec: Nope. Same problems. [08:50] IndyGunFreak, Strange thing is that this is a known bug with flash, at least I though it was [08:50] elkubuntu, even the preference doesn't seem to be installed [08:50] markvandenborre, 'ps aux | grep xgl' anyway please [08:50] elkbuntu, any other ideas? [08:50] Jordan_U: very strange... i know i updated flash in my system updates like 2 days ago(i remember seeing it) [08:51] elkbuntu, I do appreciate your help, and I double checked, but I'm looking for a cause that's probably rooted deeper [08:51] Bryan try epiphany browser, maybe that will fix your problem [08:51] timandtom - I hear ya there. Unfortunately I know of no binding for it. You could always get a keybinding program, and be able to set lots of programs to hotkeys, but again, something else running in the background. [08:51] IndyGunFreak, flash works in firefox. [08:51] IndyGunFreak, I'm just trying to get it to work in opera [08:51] elkbuntu, besides, nice chatting you after quite a few months! [08:51] bryan: but it freezes up,c orrect? [08:51] IndyGunFreak, no. It just gives me a gray box [08:51] bryan: oh ok, i thought youw ere having probs w/ it wfreezing in Firefox. [08:51] no [08:51] <_slacker__> hi guys, where's stored the info of the partition mount???? :s [08:52] no, in firefox it runs fine. [08:52] is flash plugin install still broken? [08:52] Bryan ya, i have that same prob in Opera... wierd, it used to work [08:52] markvandenborre, so was i until i realised this was the case :) i still dont know if it was part of the dist-upgrade, or a side-effect of letting travis play with my laptop [08:52] im so frustrated with these fonts not showing up in my gtk apps.. pls help [08:52] IndyGunFreak, Havn't been able to get epiphany to crash yet [08:52] <_slacker__> i changed a few settings and now don't mount [08:52] IndyGunFreak, yeah >_> I know. Used to work for me too. [08:52] <_slacker__> i want to rollback [08:52] Jordan_U: lol [08:52] sd32_, someone told me it was... [08:52] sd32_, I didn't want to uninstall just to not be able to get flash back ;x [08:52] slacker - /etc/fstab, would that be what you're looking for? [08:52] c0mp13371331337: Something else USEFUL FOR MULTIPLE THINGS running in the background =] probably taking up less resources too. meh, i dunno, i think im fine as is, i was just wondering if there was a hotkey... not a big deal, for how often i use it [08:52] bryan,ok thanks [08:53] 'welcome [08:53] _slacker__: I think you want "/etc/fstab" [08:53] bryan IndyGunFreak im so used to seeing gray boxes in my gtk apps [08:53] c0mp13371331337: i mainly just use it for the few times i need to sudo apt-get, because its simpler then Synaptic [08:53] * IndyGunFreak doesn't have a greybox prob [08:53] perfector, yeah. But the weird thing was is that it USED to work [08:53] any ideas how to troubleshoot a nautilus that locks up really often, and at seemingly unpredictable times? [08:53] Does anyone know of a wireless Array tool to detect and measure how far you are from an AP [08:53] bryan in my case it NEVER worked [08:54] * IndyGunFreak is kinda liking Epiphany [08:54] blarg... no use. [08:54] * mnemonica flees in shame [08:54] trying to run these gnome apps in any other desktop environment can be sucha pain [08:54] <_slacker__> tuntun, no no, it's an external usb disk, i plugged it in, change a few setting on the Volume Properties, and when try to remount it fails [08:55] <_slacker__> tuntun, so i want to rollback that changes [08:55] once networking appears to stop (for whatever reason) is there ANY way at all to restart it without a logout or reboot? [08:55] "/etc/init.d/networking restart" makes no difference, nor does stopping/starting networkmanager scripts in /etc/dbus-1/event.d/ and nor does unloading all the network modules and reloading them [08:55] timandtom - Yup, that's pretty much all that I use tilda for. It's pretty light-weight, but you're right, a keybinding program would probably take less resources. [08:55] _slacker__: how did you "change a few setting on the Volume Properties"? [08:55] * IndyGunFreak waves goodbye to everyone.... Have a good night/morning/afternoon, wherever you are. [08:56] Evanlec: i'll talk to you later, don't be such a stranger [08:56] <_slacker__> tuntun, right click on the mounted device => properties => Volume [08:56] <_evo1> hey whats the channel for developing ubuntu? [08:56] indygunfreak take it easy [08:57] IndyGunFreak: go feed 'em! :) [08:57] _evo1, you could start with #ubuntu-motu [08:57] <_evo1> ok thanks [08:57] (mostly packaging there though, but you'll get some hints there) [08:57] _slacker__: so what did you change? [08:58] c0mp13371331337: Yeh =] Meh, again, I was just curious. I don't really wanna spare any RAM if I can help it, I run a bit more then is comftrble(i can never spell that, i gave up trying) as is, but ill look into tilda if i ever start using terminal more. Thanks for the help though! [08:58] what partitioning program(s) do you recommend using? (both console and gui-based) [08:59] timandtom: can you spell "comfort" [08:59] <_slacker__> tuntun, the fmask and dmask [08:59] yes, but when i go to add able, i get dyslexia. [08:59] cOmp [08:59] which i can spell. [08:59] <_slacker__> tuntun, i think it's gnome-volume who manage these setting right? [09:00] <_slacker__> tuntun, where can i delete my custom setting? [09:00] timandtom: cant you do that in the same place that you changed them? [09:01] tuntun: wha? [09:01] timandtom, erm I mean <_slacker__ [09:02] Salut tout le monde [09:02] tuntun: ahahaha :) Ok. np. [09:02] timandtom: able able able able able able able able able able able able able !!! :O [09:02] Hi all [09:03] _slacker__: cant you do that in the same place that you changed them? [09:03] <_slacker__> tuntun, no, because i can't mount the device now, i right-clicked the icon of the mounted device in the desktop [09:03] <_slacker__> tuntun, but i already solved it :) [09:04] I've installed a small local area network with a DHCP server & BIND (192.168.1.1). I configured clients to use the DNS server (192.168.1.1). How do I configure Bind9 if I want to ping another machine on the network by its hostname rather than its IP address? [09:04] <_slacker__> tuntun, gnome-volume --erase-setting -d [09:04] _slacker__: gawd sake man tell me how you did it! I need to know!!! [09:05] <_slacker__> Ellixis, http://my-mili.eu/matt/docs/dynamic-dns-with-dhcp-and-bind-9/ [09:05] <_slacker__> tuntun, how i did what? [09:07] _slacker__: how you did gnome-volume --erase-setting -d ;)\ [09:07] how do i configure xchat to have multi line entry field? [09:07] <_slacker__> tuntun, command-line [09:07] _slacker__: /jk [09:09] _slacker__: thanks, I'm looking at it [09:11] how do i check which files a package owns? [09:11] for console [09:11] i'm trying to install ies4linux but it crashes while downlading [09:12] which irc client are people using? [09:12] irssi [09:12] sharpie: get another mirror [09:12] or download it manually [09:13] <_slacker__> Ellixis, i'm using dhcpd+bind and works like a sharm, i only had problems with hostnames with underscores... don't know why [09:13] irssi [09:13] lQg: ...i mean the stuf that ies4linux downloads :/ [09:13] but actually nvm i ran it with --no-gui and the installation seems to be working now [09:14] sharpie: i don't even have that package in my apt-cache search [09:14] lQg: cause it's not a package [09:15] what is it? [09:15] you download it from their site.:/ [09:15] then ask them [09:15] i already said it's working now =o [09:15] oh cool :) [09:15] it was a python error so i ran the installation with no GUI [09:16] .ua discovery [09:16] _slacker__: in the link, they have ar as example [09:16] so any idea how to find the files a package owns? [09:17] _slacker__: they have nadir.example.com sorry [09:17] i want to find the bin for xkeyboard-config [09:17] _slacker__: how can I adapt it to only keep "nadir" ? [09:17] lQg: it's in /usr/bin :/ [09:17] what's the bin name? [09:18] loki@cisma 04:17:38 /usr/bin/X11 $ xk [09:18] xkbbell xkbcomp xkbevd xkbprint xkbvleds xkbwatch xkill [09:18] loki@cisma 04:17:38 /usr/bin/X11 $ [09:18] lQg: ...xkeyboard-config? [09:18] nope [09:19] so run in a terminal: find / -name xkeyboard-config [09:19] why there is no Junk Mail Control in Thunderbird? [09:19] i'm sure there is a way of checking the files, on gentoo it's $ equery files package-name [09:20] lQg: in synaptic [09:20] yes synaptic has it, but i want to get it on the terminal [09:20] i despise GUI [09:20] could anyone tel me the url for the repository so i can get the kernel souce for 7.04 please? [09:21] how do i disable the network manager daemon [09:21] i don't see an init script for it [09:21] it has no binary [09:21] i checked on gentoo [09:22] loki@rurix 04:21:31 ~ $ equery files xkeyboard-config|grep bin [09:22] loki@rurix 04:21:34 ~ $ [09:22] oh well [09:22] vinboy, there is, the message filters [09:22] help help ,my mp3 was tracked by vinus, how can i do [09:22] dpkg -S is like equery [09:22] from what i remember of gentoo anyway, haven't used it in years [09:22] sorry attack^_^ [09:23] join #java [09:24] d [09:25] hey ;o [09:26] does anyone know the repository url? [09:26] i cant install open source programs without the kernel source :( [09:28] hello I'm looking for the name of xorg.conf gui ? [09:28] I can find many articles speaking about [09:28] but never give its command line name ... [09:30] (repeating my question from about an hour ago in the hope that other people might notice) [09:31] paynegod, archive.canonical.com/"dist name" [09:31] sd32_, much appriciated thanks [09:31] np [09:31] A_I_: there's no gui for xorg.conf [09:31] I'm having nautilus lock frequently and at random on a freshly installed 7.10 machine with a home directory copied over from a 7.04 machine (yes, including hidden files) [09:32] A_I_, there is displayconfig-gtk though [09:32] sharpie and what is this ? http://fosswire.com/2007/08/17/ubuntu-getting-xorgconf-gui/ [09:32] which is probably what you mean [09:32] Does anyone know how to keep wireless when I upgrade from 7.04to 7.10? [09:32] DeToX, are you using a piece of binary, or a free(ish) driver? [09:33] A_I_: let me rephrase that, there's no -official- xorg.conf GUI [09:33] i partitioned my external usb drive just now, but something is taking up space... 3.84 GB worth of space [09:33] its ndiswrapper. Found a setup script on ubuntuforums. [09:33] what is this, and what can i do about it? [09:33] n00bie, depending on the drive, you can't. [09:33] A_I_: although, you have the screens and graphics dialog, and, if you have an nvidia card, you can run "nvidia-settings" in a terminal [09:33] I have a PNY and it always has 3.8 no matter how I format it. [09:34] DeToX, generally speaking, the support for non-free wifi drivers has improved, but they're always a risk, much more than the free obes [09:34] what hardware? [09:34] (the wifi) [09:34] Yeah. I had it working, and I have it working now, but I upgraded and lost it. [09:34] its a broadcom 4318 [09:34] in a HP ze2000 [09:34] DeToX: i've been told there might be some space for the root... isn't possible to set this space lower? [09:34] don't use ndiswrapper then [09:34] there=it [09:35] couldn't you use the binary firmware with the free driver? [09:35] I don't really know. Mine seems to be locked and there isn't a way to unformat it. [09:35] thank you markvandenborre but it segfault here ... [09:35] if your hardware is supported (think it is) that should give you a much more stable and better supported experience [09:36] markvandenborre, I dunno. I didn't try much. Where would I get the binary? I'm new to the whole wifi on linux thing. [09:36] This one's pretty stable, I just want 7.10. [09:36] DeToX, on a fresh 7.10 install, if I remember correctly, it should identify this, and offer you to download it [09:37] I'm getting error messages at boot which I don't know the meaning of. Anyone care to help me decipher? [09:37] [ 0.780000] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:04.0 [09:37] but since my machine with a bc43xx chip died some time ago, I'm not really sure about that anymore [09:37] Hmm. I'll have to try getting a CD burned. I have the image, but both my computers were giving me issued with the cd drives. [09:38] it should let me download while I'm using the livecd, if it will actually work, correct? === poeticrpm is now known as GSF1200S [09:40] hi [09:40] Hi [09:40] every body [09:41] DeToX, not 100% sure, but I suppose so, yes [09:41] hmm. Ok. Maybe I'll try it out after work tomorrow night. [09:41] sup [09:42] Nada, you? [09:42] sd32_, hey that url you gave me only lists gpg and release documents. nothing i can actualy download and copy to a flash drive to mvoe to my linux computer [09:42] i just use ma first linux [09:42] ubuntu: if you have a question, ask it. otherwise- #ubuntu-offtopic [09:43] hi, I need some help with mdadm + software raid: I created an raid5 array with 4 drives, but declared one as missing, so there were only three active. during copying data on the array my machine crashed, and now the array won't start. [09:43] it is marked as "inactive" in proc/mdstat [09:43] DeToX, Update (Oct 2007): Gutsy Gibbon (*Ubuntu 7.10) has native support (via the restricted driver manger) that actually works, so this guide isn't strictly necessary for Gutsy. However Gutsy's native support isn't capable of quite the same bandwidth as this ndiswrapper solution. Fortunately, this guide also appears to be compatible with Gutsy . [09:43] Link to that page?

[10:01] I'd rather install gnash, but that's not an option on this work machine [10:01] when I sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [10:01] tjl11 i have a graphics driver, it is a ATI X1650 and i am having a few troubles with it, on start up i log on and then it logs out again... about 5 seconds after the load or it freezes, where do you suggest i go to, and there is also one more problem [10:01] I get an md5 sum error [10:01] !temperature [10:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about temperature - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:01] is that a known issue?

Foo and bar are so old-school... [10:03] Why is it, in my fstab, mounting a remote samba share using cifs gives me: "Mount error 13 = Permission denied", but when I change it to mount as smbfs, it works fine? [10:03] etfb: i mean, the flinstones part [10:03] when type "avant-window-navigator" in terminal I have this msg "Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager.

Go look it up in the Jargon File... [10:03] anybody want to help with a weird apt error in regards to a package version problem? [10:03] etfb: :| [10:03] what is the recommended way to do it right? [10:04] !ask | X704 [10:04] X704: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [10:04] Anyone know how to set gcc flags in ubuntu (it seems i cant find make.conf in /etc/)? :\ [10:04] !samba [10:04] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [10:04] is there an updated flash package that I'm not aware of? [10:04] markvandenborre: yes its a buggy file [10:04] ice_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:04] Shante: yes but I'd rather talk in a PM over the problem [10:04] :) [10:04] sharpie: how I've installed it and nothing happened or may be I didn't configer it right [10:04] mosno, disable compiz have no action for the freeze by switch user [10:04] hussam: are you -using- compiz? [10:05] sharpie: how to know [10:05] BjoeHrn: dunno, worked for me. [10:05] hussam: Perferneces -> Appearance [10:05] err, wrong person... lol [10:05] hussam: then go to "Visual Effects" [10:05] Could anyone tell me how to set gcc flags in ubuntu? (i cant find /etc/make.conf to do so) [10:06] mosno, mh :/ [10:06] sharpie: k I'm wz u [10:06] sharpie: continue [10:06] tt__: the flags are passed on the command line, so this questions (apparently) makes no sense. Can you rephrase or explain what you're asking? [10:06] BjoeHrn: good luck. [10:06] markvandenborre: yes its a buggy file if u use 32 bits [10:06] hussam: select anything other than none :\ [10:06] markvandenborre: use this file [10:06] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [10:07] ah, nm, aptitude is fixing my problems [10:07] i mean like in gentoo , i could set the flags in a file called make.conf (which is located in /etc/) , each time i compile somethings it use my flags with just ./configure make make install [10:07] sharpie: I've that msg "Desktop effect could not be enabled" [10:07] ice_: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" instead [10:07] does anyone in here have lirc working / or know how to set it up properly, I'm like 99% configured, but think i'm missing something, just now quite sure what it is [10:07] Where do I go to get a specific .deb file so I can install it on an Ubuntu machine without any networking capability? [10:08] hussam: is your gfx card enabled in the restricted drivers manager? [10:08] hussam: Administration - restricted drivers manager [10:08] sharpie: I'll see [10:09] !coc > sharpie [10:09] Cubexombi: I have it configured on a Mandriva machine, but maybe can help on Ubuntu too [10:10] etfb: you can use the packages on the DVD - useful... you can also download each package on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [10:10] with ubuntu ltsp clients, how do I specify what video driver to use ? [10:10] night all [10:10] sharpie: that msg "your hardware dose not need any restricted drives" [10:10] X704: I have an install CD and can't find the .debs. Where are they? [10:11] hussam: what card do you have? [10:11] etfb: I think you have to use the command line to install from a disk [10:11] madmarx, all my conf's and what not look ok, I copied them from a working install that i had on this machine at the beginning of the night, now when i run irw, he prompt hands as it should, but it doesn't register keypresses. [10:12] debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [10:12] sharpie: how to know? it is in my lab top [10:12] could someone recommend me some good bittorrent software, that has a gui? I dont want azurues, because that keeps crashing every few minutes [10:12] ktorrent [10:13] modu: ktorrent seems to be the best in KDE. I wish uTorrent worked in Linux tho... [10:13] etfb: apt-get install will work if you have the CD or DVD in the drive [10:13] hussam: open a terminal and run "compiz" [10:13] and the package is on the disk [10:13] modu_:ktorrent is a good one [10:13] I shoulda tried synaptic at first for the java. It works now. [10:13] There are 3 files that configure lirc: (1) there is a /etc/sysconfig/lircd (or different on ubuntu?) that defines the driver and device files. [10:14] X704: it doesn't though, for some reason. I think I'll try the packages site instead. Thx. [10:14] ice_, etfb: ok, thanks, I will give ktorrent a chance. And I agree, I wish utorrent worked here to [10:14] sharpie: Checking for Xgl: not present. [10:14] No whitelisted driver found [10:14] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [10:14] Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "mac4lin": Failed to find a valid file for theme mac4lin [10:14] (2) There is /etc/lircd.conf that contains the reference of your remote and defines keypresses. [10:14] hussam: i'm sorry, i don't know how to help you [10:14] (3) There is /etc/lircmd.conf that is to use your remote as a mouse. [10:15] Who has good experience with ATI Drivers? I have afew problems yet to be solved [10:15] !ask | ice_ [10:15] ice_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [10:15] sharpie: never mind anyhow thanks alot 4 what u did :) [10:15] hussam: np [10:15] etfb: there is a script running around online that will download all packages and make 4 or 5 DVD sized ISO's if the computer will never be online [10:15] ok then but no one answers properly... [10:16] i have a graphics driver, it is a ATI X1650 and i am having a few troubles with it, on start up i log on and then it logs out again... about 5 seconds after the load or it freezes, where do you suggest i go to, and there is also one more problem [10:16] ice_: The path to truth is a really good question. It follows therefore that if you haven't attained truth yet, you haven't figured out the question to ask. [10:16] lol [10:16] X704: possibly overkilll... [10:17] etfb: I don't know... blank DVDs are inexpensive anymore... [10:17] how do i stop my ATI X1650 driver form crashing the computer? [10:17] Cubexombi: My guess is that the /etc/sysconfig/lircd file is not OK [10:17] ice_: reinstall it? [10:17] X704: true, but I have a working installation, I just (*blush*) uninstalled knetworkmanager and now can't get it back. [10:18] etfb: also your CD I think has to be the alternate CD to use apt-get with [10:18] ive done that onece but then i have to re-install ubuntu [10:18] not fun... [10:18] * etfb slaps forehead. That would be the trouble! [10:18] i have trouble booting a custim ubuntu made with debootstrap from usb stick.. anyone experienced? [10:18] sharpie_: any other ideas?

[10:36] "Your choices are, [10:36] 1) wait for 8.43 which will hopefully have SLUB support. [10:36] 2) downgrade to Fiesty Fawn (I've heard this resolved some of the problems) [10:36] 3) recompile the ubuntu kernel to use SLAB instead of SLUB." [10:36] white_eagle: i'll confirm in gutsy even if you get it to work right, it is extremely buggy [10:36] sometimes i guess, else the dist doesnt have much future =) [10:37] :D [10:37] lol [10:37] as more and more computers sold are laptops [10:37] well my problems are mostly with ifup ifdown issues with it, but i was able to edit the suspend scripts. even then, i still shutdown [10:38] ahh, i hate turning off my laptop [10:38] it boots slowly on ubuntu [10:38] although it isn't very old [10:39] Hi! I'm testing dual monitors between my laptop screen and an external TFT. it works but the problem is that the screen on the tft is blurry and I can see it fickering. I checked with xrandr and the screens has right resolutions, though the external tft uses 60Hz update freq. which I think is the problem because it should use 75Hz at 1280x1024. How do I change the screen to use 75Hz in xorg.conf? [10:39] white_eagle: ati problems have been fixed in the newer ati drivers. however, there is no expected date the new drivers will be available on repo's. it will probably be the hardy release before we see some of the major bug fixes [10:40] and hardy is prolonged for....

[10:43] snadge: what's the error? [10:43] freddo: Gentoo is a source-based distro, ubuntu is predominatly binary - they're for 2 different sets of people really [10:43] gnome settings daemon has failed to start, or something... i would have to reboot my pc to get the exact error [10:44] hello [10:44] Twinkletoes: people who can't compile and people who can? [10:44] freddo: Not really, the portage system with Gentoo is quite good actually. Don't need to know how to compile [10:44] a friend of mine is installing ubuntu in his computer. but he tried many times and the installtion freezy in 82% configuring apt-get [10:44] =\ [10:44] maybe he should try debian? or alternative install [10:44] he tried to install without internet too, and nothing happened.. just the freezy, what to do [10:44] snadge: open terminal, and do an ifconfig lo [10:45] The playback of this movie requires a RTP protocol source plugin which is not installed. [10:45] Twinkletoes: Do you use gentoo or ubuntu? [10:45] freddo: If you're prepared to work through a few anomalies from time to time, and spend time configuring X, go for Gentoo, if you want stuff to just "work" go for Ubuntu. Gentoo does have a VERY good documentation tho [10:45] freddo: I use both, but for different situations [10:45] Where can I find gstreamer-rtp? [10:45] freddo: I use Ubuntu on desktops, and Gentoo for non-critical servers, the critical servers all run FreeBSD [10:45] kitofhawaii: lo looks like its configured and working [10:45] snadge: what's the inet addr for that interface?

[10:47] snadge: lol dunno, make sure your hostname is in there as well [10:47] what's the difference between freebsd and openbsd? [10:47] Demonho-br: do you have interenet connection on that machine ? [10:47] its been a while since i did that, ikonia [10:47] i will try rebooting [10:48] ikonia, yes..

[11:28] kitofhawaii do i need to be under x or gnome ar anything specific like that? [11:28] miko3k: I'm not sure if it's dynamic or build time only [11:28] miko3k: you may want to check that in #gnome rather than have me trawl the docs someone may know off the top of there head [11:28] ikonia thanks anyway i try to google for it [11:28] BlackFoxTR: ln -s [11:28] ikonia yup seems like an idea :-) [11:29] miko3k: I can help you set it, but I can't remember if thats the exact name for the variable used [11:29] miko3k: nor can I remember if it's dynamic [11:29] ikonia : the problem is, not how, but _where_, ~/.bashrc definitely don't get executed [11:29] kitofhawaii u still with me? [11:29] miko3k: bashrc is a shell variable [11:30] robert___: well i'm a bit confused why your driver would work one minute and then the next...i guess. what driver is selected under system -> administration -> screen and graphics -> graphics card? [11:30] miko3k: I can help you set it, but you need to find out if it is the correct thing to do [11:30] robert___: i assume you're under gnome [11:30] I am trying to get a edubuntu ltsp client to boot it is stopping after printing "Starting LTSP client [OK]" :( what is wrong ? how do I get it to continue ? [11:30] neil_d: is it hanging or returning to a prompt [11:31] ikonia : so i could possibly create a shell script and put it somewhere in gnome-session or something ? [11:31] miko3k: there are environment variable options for gnome [11:31] ikonia, if I hit I get a prompt [11:31] neil_d: ok, once you hit enter, is ltsp running ? [11:31] kitofhawaii the only intel driver thet have [11:32] i like the game war3,,,but who can tell me how to use cedega to connect a host in LAN [11:32] and yes in gnome [11:32] kylexy: you'll get better support in #cedega [11:32] ikonia : where ? [11:32] miko3k: find out if its the correct variable first [11:32] ikonia, I don't know what you mean by ltsp running ? it won't let me login ! [11:32] ikonia: etc/apache2# ln -s mods-available/php5.conf mods-enabled/ << i did [11:32] now there is php5.conf n php5.load files in mods-enabled [11:32] really [11:32] BlackFoxTR: does the files appear in mods-enabled ? [11:32] robert___: fair enough, sounds like something went goofy with your compositing. try rebooting...i'm not sure specifically why compositing would just stop working suddenly, since everything seems set up right. [11:33] BlackFoxTR: restart apache and you should be fine [11:33] it was workiing earlier today could it be that my screen going into standby stopped it? [11:34] cause that driver does say experimental [11:34] ikonia : well i would like to try ... but have no idea how to do it :-) [11:34] Twinkletoes: What's wrong with using ubuntu as a server? [11:34] miko3k: I've told you, join #gnome and ask for the correct variable [11:34] brb rebooting and hoping that fixes it [11:34] Twinkletoes: You say you use Gentoo and FreeBSD for servers? [11:34] hi. is it possible to use beagle instead of tracker as the indexing engine *and* integrate beagle into the gtk filechooser and natilus-search? [11:34] robert___: that's the same one i have...and yes, it could certainly be from going into standby. standby is goofy in gutsy [11:34] robert___: particularly when it comes to graphics [11:35] kitofhawaii: 'lo. [11:35] Stevethepirate: 'eya [11:35] ikonia : i gess the $PATH will do it. if i just hit alt+f2 and type "echo $PATH; cat" and chcek run on terminal, it outputs something what looks very reasonable :-) [11:35] anyone know of a curses based word processor? [11:35] miko3k: ughhhhh for the last time, it doesn't use PATH [11:35] miko3k: PATH is for the shell [11:35] ikonia, ? [11:36] miko3k: when you do alt+f2 it launches a shell to do the command [11:36] does Kubuntu come with gcc? [11:36] wiicontroller: you can install it [11:36] wiicontroller: gcc is in the repo's [11:36] sudo aptitude search gcc [11:37] ikonia : so if it launches shell why can't I use $PATH? :-) [11:37] miko3k: because it's not a login shell [11:38] ikonia : ok.. that's sounds reasonable. i'll get to #gnome [11:40] Ubuntu FUCK [11:40] MaXWaR: that is uncalled for [11:40] Enter text here...06270627062706440648064806480648064806480648064806480648064806480648064806480648 [11:40] MaXWaR: do you have a problem ?

[11:46] yes [11:46] robert___: ok so setting to extra won't work..."glxinfo | grep direct" do you get an opengl renderer string? [11:46] shishio: whawt happened ?

[11:47] UbuntuFire, Come back to us after the next kernel / Xorg update [11:48] robert___: did you install server-xgl? or have it installed? [11:48] it then says to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=VERBOSE [11:48] LET ME CHECK [11:48] sry dont mean to yell' [11:49] well thing is that i got a ati card (X1100) and the restricted driver didn't work, so the only thing that worked was envy, since i don't understand how to install the drivers from binary [11:49] robert___: that's ok...caps lock reminds me of my VAX/VMS programming days :-P [11:49] I have a GPU that's been blacklisted, is there any chance that I'm going to be able to run Compiz? [11:49] any ideas for a title for a paper on why we choose ubuntu?? [11:50] it says cant find package [11:50] UbuntuFire, Just be aware that it could cause problems and that it is not supported, you can do what you want as long as you don't ask for help fixing it :) [11:50] robert___: xserver-xgl [11:50] apt-get is asking me for the Ubuntu CD ... O.o ... I thought this wasn't necessary. I dont have the disc anymore, how can I finish my install ? :( [11:50] WinterWeaver, it's usually fine [11:50] already have it [11:51] WinterWeaver: that's because you still have the CD in your sources. Go into aptitude/synaptic and remove it from the list. [11:51] WinterWeaver, System -> Administration -> Software Sources: enable internet, remove CD [11:51] ah [11:51] apt'll get it from the repo [11:51] hope that 8.04 come with support then :) else i need to go to windows :( [11:51] thanks guys [11:51] Where do I configure what keymap to use for incomming ssh sessions?

[11:53] robert___: already have it...try uninstalling it... [11:53] UbuntuFire, What chipset ? [11:53] Hey what are some steps I could take to make Ubuntu run faster? It keeps freezing on my when I'm doing the simplest stuff, like ONE web page [11:53] kitofwawaii how do i do that? [11:53] robert___: aiglx works better on your card...i'm not even sure if xgl works with the 945... [11:53] Joshooa, Is it just Firefox or apps in general? [11:53] Mainly Firefox but the computer in general [11:54] Jordan_U: So maybe just firefox related. [11:54] UbuntuFire: thanks for the ndiswrapper link! That looks like it answers all the questions I have about wifi, many of which have been driving me mad. Thank you!!! [11:54] Joshooa, Try FF3 beta 1, it's pretty darn stable and MUCH faster [11:54] wats aiglx [11:54] robert___: ah...let's disable it instead then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [11:54] !aiglx [11:54] AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop.

Cause my menus and stuff are slow sometimes too [11:55] now that thats open what do i do? [11:55] why is that when I'm using Banshee Media Player and listening to a Mp3 or lets say using any player why is that when moving windows around or surfing the web at the same time listening to Mp3's the audio drops in and out. [11:55] Joshooa, Is it a slow computer or do you think it's acting slower than it should ( if the former you may want to look into Xubuntu for instance ) [11:55] btw. don't ati release info about old card so it's possible to create free drivers [11:56] kitofhawaii: add the following lines at the bottom (one line per arrow) -> Section "Extensions" -> Option "Composite" "0" -> EndSection [11:56] hello [11:56] Jordan_U: No it can run fast, 1.8GHz, 2Gigs RAM, 512MB Vid Card and Soundblaster Audigy. It used to run faster [11:56] i have a good machine, Pentium Dual Core 2.0ghz, 2gig ram, Geforce 512mb PCI-E [11:57] Joshooa, What has changed since it ran faster?

[11:57] after hybernation of the laptop NetworkManager loses all wireless connectiona, and I'm forced to reboot whole system, please advise other solution [11:58] felich, Not a real solution, but a workaround that at least beats rebooting "sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart" should do it [11:58] Joshooa: some people have gotten better luck disabling ipv6 in firefox (not me personally at least) -> navigate to "about:config" -> filter "ipv6" -> set disableipv6 to "True" [11:59] robert___: log out and log back in [11:59] kitofhawaii: Did that already [11:59] k brb [11:59] Could it be because I'm running python stuff for Avant Window Navigator?

[12:00] Joshooa, Not unless it uses insane amounts of RAM [12:00] abhi: no dns entry ? [12:00] Jordan_U: K I didn't think so, it shows total ram usage at 13.5% [12:00] Jordan_U: And a few spikes in my CPU usage but overall low [12:00] hey is there a quick way to see what driver a device is using? e.g. a wireless card?

I plugged it in, powered it on, and Ubuntu spotted it correctly and installed it. As far as the system is concerned, the printer is working fine. All except for the tiny detail that when I tell it to print something (anything, even a test page from the printer config window) it sits there doing absolutely nothing. I get no error messages. [13:41] morning Jack_Sparrow :) [13:41] ubuntu710, you can boot from reiserfs, or from xfs if you use lilo instaed of grub [13:42] bazhang how will i know for any intrussion has done... any even if i dont need to see the icon. why ... does it auto disappears..? [13:42] whats a decent app to have read access from ext2/3 volumes from XP? I don't need write [13:42] jeronim: so reiserfs (or any other fancy filesystem) will not work with GRUB, right? so how do i tell the installer to use lilo instead? [13:42] when i install dosbox deb in gutsy where does dosbox save its config file? [13:42] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/snort Voyage_ [13:42] is there any guide to install ubuntu on JFS or ReiserFS? i havent found it using google :( [13:43] bazhang snort is command based. i have it. is there a gui for that? [13:43] ubuntu710, reiser always works for me with grub. i tried xfs recently and the installer recommended lilo, it was a simple menu choice [13:43] bazhang and i want to see the icon changed to red when intrusion occurs. and i can see the blocked ip port in "events" [13:43] !info snort | Voyage_ [13:43] voyage_: snort: Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System.

[13:44] jeronim: hmmm.. then i should just try reiserfs with GRUB then.. :) [13:44] nod [13:44] Voyage_: no idea about a gui--never use it meself [13:44] instead of making one big filesystem, i like to make a root filesystem, one for /usr and one for /home. how big does the root filesystem need to be, 1GB enough? [13:44] there used to be problems with reiser+grub but that was more than a year ago fixed [13:45] Anyone at all with my printing issue? I've found an error message in dmesg that occurs when I try to print: "[96241.662862] audit(1197639866.283:9): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=16677 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"" [13:45] Voyage_: if you want to see a ton of intrusions, then Linux is not the place [13:45] xyxvv: http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html [13:45] what's that all about?

[13:56] xyxvv: You will most likely need to add this to the monitor section http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48205/ [13:56] crush_groove: depends on how pure you want your ubuntu--if you want to add proprietary codecs then you need to enable the partner repositories, and maybe the one at medibuntu.org as well [13:56] Which live cd is the absolut latest? this one? = http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ? [13:56] bazhang, how??

[14:38] ace: you shouldnt have too many problems with it, i never did [14:38] thx alot ... works great now! [14:38] MasterShrek : ok [14:38] bazhang: thanks for help [14:38] ace: backports are less reliable than official packages. if you need a package that's in backports, however, i think most here will agree that it's normally pretty safe to install it. === Muad`dib is now known as shadok [14:38] ace: i have it and haven't had any problems so far [14:38] Im having some issues getting ssl to work on my webserver [14:38] erUSUL: :ok [14:39] boris_: sorry you can only charge it.

[14:47] crush_groove: for tracking network intrusions? it's probably the finest [14:48] bazhang so a network = anybox connected to the inet .. not just many boxes connected together ... === mesh_ is now known as meshdlx [14:48] crush_groove: seems a bit overkill for one user...but i guess that depends what you're doing with your box [14:48] crush_groove: are you behind a router? [14:49] if you are, then you shuold pretty much be safe unless you are opening ports [14:49] no .. straight
