[00:09] is it possible to assign a workspace to each? or split them so that when i maximize windows, it goes to that monitor and not span both [00:09] Avt: terminal? [00:09] Avt, i don't understand you [00:09] terminal the thing you type in [00:09] to stop synaptics touchpad *ever* generating middle clicks, should it be enough to set "Emulate3Buttons" to "false" ? [00:10] Avt: grub comes with some kind of pseudo terminal [00:10] I'm really tired of accidentally pasting crap in irc :-) [00:10] i've disabled Xinerama [00:10] alemones, hold on, googling for it [00:10] and it still does the same thing [00:10] I cant reset root passwd [00:10] why are ppl using linux and dont even know what a terminal is [00:10] Avt, you can't really do that - what is it you want to achive with this terminal? we may have what you want a different way === gouki_ is now known as gouki [00:10] !root | Avt [00:10] Avt: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === dkz0r is now known as Andre_Alves [00:10] rodolfo: thanks! [00:10] Avt, did you set a root password? [00:10] yes I did [00:10] want tio chanbge [00:11] osfameron, no, add Option "TouchpadOff" "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the synaptics section [00:12] nickrud: I would have thought that would also disable the Touchpad entirely? What's the actual effect of that line? [00:12] you have to specify the device properly or it'll default again in the other device layout [00:12] oh, just the tapping? misread. set it to 2 [00:12] osfameron, 0 is on, 1 is off, 2 is tap disabled [00:13] nickrud, KlrSpz: oh I see, the number setting means something [00:13] where are all the xorg.conf options documented? [00:13] I don't think I want to disable tapping [00:13] I just want to disable middle clicking [00:13] shpook: didnt work, thanks anyway, i have to go to work now. i'll try again later. [00:13] sometimes I get whatever's currently selected pasted (usually into irc) [00:14] and that's embarrassing. Given that I have no use for middle-mouse button, I might as well disable it [00:14] you want to disable the middle button, or the clipboard effect [00:14] ah [00:14] osfameron: man xorg.conf [00:14] osfameron, man synaptics has it all. You might try Option "SHMConfig" "On" , and install gsynaptics, it's a gui frontend to configuring the touchpad [00:14] Avt, so do this as your ordinary user; sudo passwd -l root [00:14] jepes: when you get back, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [00:14] Bla, he left already [00:14] Avt, reboot after that and enjoy [00:14] I don't *have* a middle mouse button. I've installed gsynaptics, and prevented touching with 2 fingers invoking middle click [00:14] remapt he buttons with the OPtion "ButtomMapping" section [00:15] generic question - how many virtual interfaces can one add ?

It seems to be set up correctly in the iptables FORWARD chain, but i'm not getting any actual forwarding happening [00:15] Avt, reboot - then you don't have a root password it is all back to normal [00:15] Shpook: no, eth-interfaces [00:16] ompaul I want a root password lol [00:16] osfameron, there's lots of options, have at it. I ended up just training my fingers :) [00:16] KlrSpz, dont know your circumstances but i use shorewall to make iptables easy [00:16] just want to change it [00:16] Having problems copying a file to an external HDD. its 5.6gig file. and it keeps telling me that the file limit has exceeded.. is there anyway to move big files?

[00:17] ompaul: yeah i have that [00:17] Avt, then you can't have your cake and eat it, you can't get there from here [00:17] nickrud: so I see :-( I try to be careful, but spamming irc channels when I just wanted to move the mouse is really annoying... [00:17] KlrSpz, yes, u [00:17] ompaul: and have verified that it IS set to 1 [00:17] what [00:17] ip forwarding needs to be enabled first [00:17] thats lame [00:17] have that though [00:18] ok so what I do after its gone [00:18] to make new one [00:18] !rootsudo | Avt [00:18] Avt: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[00:22] i tried to tail /var/log/messages, but it doesn't show where it mounted.

Well, that one at least [00:24] astro76: hm, "sudo -i" seem like the same as "sudo su" [00:24] ompaul: i didnt say i did, i said "sudo -i" gives you root without setting a root password, sheesh [00:24] g2g591, ergo the bit harsh comment [00:25] Hi I can't seem to get my Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic card working. I do a lspci -v and I see my card ,but no sound comes out. Do I need a driver? and is there one for my card, because I went to the compatibilty driver site and I didn't see one. [00:25] sint, essentially, seems like a cleaner way to do it though [00:25] bbias, trying something stupid with iptables :D [00:25] <__mikem> Anubyss, and you are not going to get that card to work, Creative Labs doesn't support linux for their newer cards [00:25] someone knows some good language document translactor software to linux that it is not the altavista or google translactor website [00:25] creative labs have been bought by ms ? [00:25] sint, has to do with what shell values you keep - i.e. behaves like a real login shell which can be useful [00:26] sint, actually "sudo su -" would be like "sudo -i" for the interactive login scripts to execute [00:26] <__mikem> hatter, no they sympathize with ms though [00:26] otherwise you're just changing users [00:26] hatter, interesting but offtopic [00:26] ie, you don't execute the profile for root without the - or -i [00:26] np [00:26] <__mikem> Anubyss: I suggest you refrain from doing business with creative labs in the future unless they adopt a less hostile stance on linux and open source [00:26] _mikem so there isn't a way? not even with a generic driver? do I get to install another card and if so which one would you recommend === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes [00:27] KlrSpz: ok, good to know. but this thing about update-rc.d is to crazy for me. i've tested it on another box running ubuntu and have the same issue [00:27] hey ppls [00:27] its still not working in root without sudo [00:27] <__mikem> Anubyss, creative labs doesn't even release the specs on their cards until they are no longer supported, so until then there is no legal way to write generic drivers for it [00:27] alemones: still looking for a solution; you may consider to reconfigure xorg: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:28] anyway [00:28] sint: 1 sec lemme test it to make sure that's right [00:28] how do i stop my computer from making system sounds - for instance it beeps if i press bacspace without any characters to erase.. [00:28] _mikem I agree, however I bought this Dell XPS high end gaming machine and it came with XP, and I just installed ubunto in dual boot and the sound is the only thing I can't get to work [00:28] any of you use ubuntu server ? i found the realtek drivers have issues, which i guess is kernel related not ubuntu related [00:28] ? [00:28] rodolfo: thanks a lot, gotto sleep so will continue tomorrow!! thx! [00:28] KlrSpz: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sshd exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [00:28] alemones, np [00:28] this is what i always get [00:29] rodolfo, so what did you do to clear the file not found error? Inquiring people (ok, maybe just one) want to know [00:29] <__mikem> ompaul, how about an ubotu factoid explaining to people why their soundblaster won't work and listing a few other companies who are happy to release linux drivers for their card along with suggesting not buying any more crap from creative labs? [00:29] <__mikem> ompaul, because I am tired of typing out this speach over and over again [00:30] * LimCore found another bug in ubuntu [00:30] LimCore: What is it? [00:30] _mikem actually they have a driver ,but its beta and only for a 64 bit linux [00:30] man setting up these menus is a ton of work on icewm [00:30] <__mikem> Anubyss: YOUR KIDDING, link please? [00:30] yes on moment [00:31] sint: dude sorry, 1 sec, i got like 10 things going on [00:31] KlrSpz: no problem [00:31] __mikem, I'll consult someone who knows more about that kind of thing and come up with something [00:31] sint: [00:31] tvbox@tvbox:/tmp$ sudo update-rc.d sshd remove [00:31] Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/sshd ...

[00:32] KlrSpz: strange [00:32] yeah, really strange? [00:32] KlrSpz: i also discovered. its maybe not a got thing to play with rcconf and update-rc.d in the same time [00:33] sint: try ls -la /etc/rc2.d/*ssh* [00:33] if that doesn't come back with anything then ssh is no longer set up to run at boot === kyu_flux_ is now known as kyu_flux [00:33] but the only thing i can think of is if something is depending on ssh to be started [00:33] is comes up with this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2007-11-07 12:49 /etc/rc2.d/S16ssh -> ../init.d/ssh [00:33] Hi there. How can I dump and see what is going through my bluetooth? (using bluez, linux on a laptop and a lego NXT robot) [00:33] oh ok, i typed it up wrong it's ssh, not sshd, and yeah i get that too.. hmm [00:34] <__mikem> chickenFuego: what is Chicken Fire?

Downloading the deb and dropping it into the archive fixed that? [00:34] there is no sshd [00:34] nickrud, not to mention that i had to remove the current version (the one that came with ubuntu) and install that other one found here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/compizconfig-settings-manager [00:35] <__mikem> Anubyss, perhaps creative labs is beginning to clean up their act finally. [00:35] blaaah i can't find anything on this sound issue. i can't be the only one [00:35] rodolfo, hmm... [00:35] in /etc/init.d/ is only a ssh not a sshd [00:35] hello, im runing xubuntu, and udevd is eating up most of my cpu, please help [00:35] not really because it won't help me, I have 32 bit OS [00:35] htop [00:35] sint, yes that's the one you want to remove [00:35] anyway ... i need some sleep and i will check back for this tomorrow. [00:35] thanks to all :) [00:36] vv, wrong terminal? [00:36] <__mikem> Anubyss, well, can't really help you there. You might try finding an older sound card you might have lieing around and installing it. [00:36] sint, it is called openssh-server [00:36] ??? [00:36] sint, and it is sshd [00:36] vv, you just wrote htop [00:36] _mikem, anyway I can upgrade to 64 bit ubunto and preserve my current configuration, and if so its it worth it [00:36] KlrSpz, openssh-server [00:36] htop or top [00:36] nickrud, as far as you know, compizconfig was called but nothing happened...removing it and installing this deb file (seemed to)get the problem solved [00:36] services list [00:36] Anubis, do u have a 64bit processor?

With rfcomm, it would be a cat on /dev/rfcomm0 or so, but how is it with bluez? [00:37] <__mikem> Anubyss: I'd do a backup first though. [00:37] rodolfo, ok, thanks. One more potential fix for an obscure problem :) [00:37] nickrud, so far nothing weird happened nor conflicts... [00:37] Does anybody use gedit for web development? I'm trying to find a way to use a plugin for css validation. [00:37] chickenFuego, what robot ? [00:37] should I file a bug report about udevd using so much resources? [00:37] ive installed ubuntu 7.10 in a toshiba laptop [00:37] I have html validation working well with tidy in gedit [00:37] <__mikem> Eleaf, try geany [00:37] and i have a weird issue with the windows [00:37] ubuntu fails to use gnome at all, wow. [00:38] _mikem, what would you recommend to use as backup, I don't want to loose my configuration because I have Compiz among other things working great [00:38] nickrud, what about that guy's one? [00:38] __mikem, I was just getting gedit looking great [00:38] the upside bar it's appearing to big, actually enormous, i don't have any idea how to resize that bar, any help welcome [00:38] hwilde, it is a lego mindstorms NXT. but my question applies to any data stream going through bluetooth/bluez. How do I see it?

[00:39] anyone familiar with IP MASQUERADING? It seems to be set up correctly in the iptables FORWARD chain, but i'm not getting any actual forwarding happening [00:39] is there any progress? [00:39] rodolfo, oh, missed that one. I hear that nvidia off the nvidia site sometimes has that problem. I don't have nvidia so don't remember the fix off the top of my head. [00:39] hay all i just did a fresh install of kubuntu and tried to install firefox, but all that is showing up is 1.5pre is there anyway to update that? [00:40] nickrud, this is about an intel video card. i know because i asked him about that === Flaky is now known as Fl0w3D`zZz === Fl0w3D`zZz is now known as Flaky [00:40] yes, but I was sure if I'll be able to get all the software and drivers for this machine. this PC is relative new, got it a year ago its a Dell XPS 600 tower [00:41] Huffameg, try changing the icon theme [00:41] is there any progress? [00:41] Huffameg, apt-get reinstall openoffice [00:41] hwilde, here is my dmesg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49917/ [00:41] <__mikem> Anubyss: just making sure [00:41] KlrSpz, have a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall-configuration.html [00:41] doesn't say much :-/ [00:41] <|juan|> I don't understand why my monitors are spanning as one desktop with xinerama turned off... and why, despite the xorg showing the nvidia driver, that the nvidia-settings shows an error saying i don't have the nvidia driver enabled [00:41] Huffameg, and install openoffice.org-style-default and openoffice.org-style-crystal [00:42] hihi [00:42] !idesk [00:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about idesk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:42] what are some idesk alternatives [00:42] anyone around for a quick iptables help??? [00:42] Question: do current versions of Ubuntu have inbuilt support for at least reading Mac-formatted HFS+ disks? [00:42] rodolfo, then I have zero clue. It's hard enough just trying to keep up with all of ati's issues [00:42] how could i change the size of the upside bar of every window?? [00:42] Anubyss: sometimes being new means lesser support because developers have to havetime to create drivers [00:42] ompaul: yeah, i've done esentially that [00:43] found the fix [00:43] hwilde, and the messages where 3 hours ago, but I was using the device in-between (and working, only with a particular bug) [00:43] if i plug a usb camera in and it is recognised, where should i find it ? [00:43] nickrud...intel [00:43] ompaul: and it looks right when i list the iptables, but it's not freakin working [00:43] nickrud: i have tried to change the icon theme in ubuntu without any luck. how do i install those? [00:43] iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface ath0 -j ACCEPT [00:43] iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT [00:43] iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE [00:43] proqesi, yes I agree, thank you [00:43] i have some rules like that [00:43] !paste [00:43] hwilde: it says unvalid operation [00:43] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:43] niuq, only by changing the window border under system->prefs->appearance, themes tab customize buttton [00:43] now say i only want to allow 2 mac addresses to use ath0 [00:43] ....I'll take that as a "no". [00:43] how do i do that? [00:44] nickrud...well whatever i am still looking for some solution. telling him to (re)configure xorg is a waste of time [00:44] Jan`, yes [00:44] rodolfo [00:44] whats the actual problem? [00:44] neko: ? [00:44] <<-- knows xorg pretyt good [00:44] Huffameg, figure out how to reinstall it with apt-get [00:44] *pretty [00:44] Huffameg, install those icon packages, for some reason you're missing them [00:44] neko: Problem is I have a Mac formatted firewire disk which contains files I need on a Windows computer. [00:45] chickenFuego, I don't think it is creating an i/o device for you. there is no way to decrypt them anyways [00:45] ompaul: any ideas? [00:45] I read that there are (experimental?) HFS+ drivers for Linux. [00:45] this is driving me bonkers. i've been at this for a few months now [00:45] !sgml [00:45] Jan` what doeds that have to do with xorg? [00:45] Ubuntu is the least bad version of Linux. Ergo. [00:45] nickrud: yes. which codes do I run? [00:45] neko: I've no idea. What's xorg? [00:45] ffs [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about sgml - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:45] KlrSpz, why do u need to ip masquerade anyways just do nat [00:45] niuq, I ended up going to art.gnome.org and getting spifficity or some name similar, it's ugly but short [00:45] ok one sec Jan` [00:45] hwilde: tht's what masquerading is [00:45] KlrSpz, stick your rules into a paste.ubuntu-nl.org and we can have a look at them [00:45] Jan`: yes, they have been "experimental" for five years [00:45] hi, how would i connect to a network shared printer? [00:46] ompaul: from a iptables -L ? [00:46] Huffameg, openoffice.org-style-default and openoffice.org-style-crystal , install those [00:46] nickrud: ok ok [00:46] nickrud: the last option didn't work [00:46] proqesi: Yeah, I got that impression. [00:46] KlrSpz, without a router u mean? just get a router why waste months [00:46] I have a number of computers on my network running ubuntu, I did a port scan of my network and found a number of ports I don't remember being open before. The ports aren't consistent between computers and none of them have a common application with any of these ports as default. Should I be concerned that my networked has been hacked? [00:46] ubotu: tell vishal about cups [00:46] why interrupt me with comments that don't help with my situation? [00:46] NMajik, what ports and what programs [00:46] kloeri, ya [00:46] proqesi: Thanks [00:46] KlrSpz, ya [00:47] Folks a little question if here's any Fluxbox users... how do I get it to work? Currently, when I try to run it (by tying 'fluxbox' in ternima) I get an error saying there's already another window manager running. Do I need to delete KDE window manager (kwin) at first? [00:47] Can you have multiple gpg keys for one email address? [00:47] Can somebody help me configure a second monitor for my Dell laptop (which came with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed)? [00:47] Jan`: what I used to prefer was to read from the HFS+, but not write to it. FAT worked well for r/w from both OSes [00:47] nickrud: which codes do i use to install..? [00:47] anyone know why a) the time zone doesn't stick in the "Adjust Date/Time" (panel), or b) I get "NTP support is not installed" when I try to set the configuration to "keep synchronized with Internet servers"? [00:47] samuel_ I think you have to pick it at use login [00:47] samuel_, log out, and under the options button there's a sessions option: choose flux there [00:47] proqesi: I only need to read the HFS+, yes. [00:47] samuel_: logout, then at the login window poke around (can't remember exactly) there will be a fluxbox option [00:47] ompaul: http://www.pastebin.org/13267 [00:47] Has anyone been able to install Gutsy on an intel p35 chipset (mobo) [00:47] ? [00:47] KlrSpz, well what exactly is your problem? just follow this step by step guide http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables [00:48] there are two major problems, however. [00:48] alrighty, thanks for the answers [00:48] I can't use a Mac to copy the files to a FAT32 volume, because the files (actually just one) is very very big. [00:48] I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103 [00:48] Bigger than FAT32 will handle. [00:48] Huffameg, you can install those with system->admin->synaptic , or sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-style-default openoffice.org-style-crystal in a terminal [00:48] hwilde: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49918/ is my condensed version of the nmap scan where I only show affected computers and ports that I know I didn't open myself [00:48] And I can't use a mac to copy the files to a FAT32 volume because... I don't have a mac. [00:48] If I had a mac, I'd just network it across. [00:48] nickrud:couldnt find anything there [00:48] Huffameg try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [00:49] can someone tell me where to look to diagnose a problem with no direct rendering? I have checked my xorg logs and everything seems to be initializing without any error messages there. I have also turned on verbose debugging mode for glxinfo and found nothing. Where else might I turn? [00:49] FYI, for who ever needs it, here's a link to creative labs opensource: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html [00:49] hello, this may sound stupid, but what can i use to resize an animated GIF ? === Flaky is now known as Flaky` [00:49] niuq, http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/739 [00:49] soulrider: you ahve to do each frame, don't know any linux tools for that sorry [00:49] Jan`: in cases like that you can use dd to break the file into pieces and cat to put them back together [00:49] is there some secret option or way to stop the fact one can daily(!) find critical bugs in ubuntu? [00:49] coreyo: That's a problem that we've been working on for some time [00:49] kloeri, you sure? =/ [00:49] I don't know if there's an easy solution [00:50] nickrud: one question [00:50] LimCore what? [00:50] Jan`: but what works even better is copying the files onto another machine or device [00:50] LimCore: Add to buglist - I know that you know how to, and stop whining :) [00:50] * nickrud wonders what criteria is being used to define critical [00:50] proqesi: Under Windows? [00:50] rodolfo, sure [00:50] Jan`: under any OS, including windows [00:50] You see the problem here. [00:50] NMajik, paste the output of this command please "netstat -apt" [00:50] I'm stuffed every way I turn. [00:50] coreyo: This is a good place to start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582873&page=3 [00:51] LimCore, and be sure it's not already filed if you can [00:51] So the Linux approach solves many problems. [00:51] ompaul: here's the scrip ti'm using to make this a bit easier: http://www.pastebin.org/13270 [00:51] Jan`: it's no different on Windows.. you set up sshd on it === Flaky` is now known as Flaky [00:51] hwilde: that's basically what i'm doing, check that scirpt i just pasted [00:51] LimCore: and a default font isn't really critical in that manner, now is it? [00:51] nickrud: take a look at the link i just posted here...it says "compizconfig-settings-manager (0.5.2+git20070912-0ubuntu1) [universe]" [00:51] hwilde: Do you want that from every one of the affected computers? [00:51] LimCore, I'm with nickrud - please define 'critical'... [00:51] proqesi: Yes, fine, whatever, lovely, but the fact remains that I need a computer capable of reading the HFS+ disk and this I do not have. [00:51] nickrud: so its supposed to be on the universe repo, isnt it? [00:52] Jan`: linux has been reading HFS+ perfectly for five years now [00:52] If someone can confirm to me that I can install the latest version of Ubuntu on a desktop PC, plug the firewire disk in and have a window pop up with its contents, great. [00:52] is there a workaround for the conflict between xserver-xgl and nvidia-settings? [00:52] rodolfo, yes [00:52] If not, I'll go buy a Mac Mini off Ebay. [00:52] :) [00:52] ompaul: hwilde: that's amodified script from the tlp masquerade howto [00:52] mostly comments removed [00:52] katakaio, if it helps, I have an intel 965 chipset. Was having opengl/mesa/driver problems with the gutsy packages, so I compiled all of these from scratch and installed them: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html Now everything is working, except that glxinfo shows me no direct rendering, and games like tuxracer and planeshift run reaaaallly slowly. [00:53] NMajik, umm just one with the ports open [00:53] Jan`: why not boot the livecd and see for yourself? [00:53] proqesi: I had no idea there was one. [00:53] hmm.. i wonder if i have it backwards? hmmm [00:53] Any suggestions for getting my second monitor to work? [00:53] That is an interesting idea though. [00:53] hwilde: Ok, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49919/ Let me know if you want more [00:53] anybody here familiar with the device detection process? im having an issue with a joystick driver not being loaded properly and looking for troubleshooting options [00:53] Especially if... it can write to NTFS disks? [00:54] should a usb camera plugged in and detected create a new video device ? /dev/video2 for instance ? [00:54] Jan`, yes it can [00:54] Jan`, yes 7.10 will write to ntfs out of the box [00:54] KlrSpz, it all looks nice and straight forward, however I don't see where the other machines are on that network that you are talking with or to so I can't see why the box is trying to do nat except via wireless and the big question is this can you surf to a web server on the ubuntu box from some wireless connection [00:54] Oooo. [00:54] NMajik, ok you see where it says local address 616 that is port 616. it is process PID 4677 and the program name is "rpc.mountd" [00:54] Since when was the NTFS write support not "highly experimental?" [00:54] coreyo: That does help - all of my research has been for my intel 945 chipset, which should be similar. You might like this link too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3825086#post3825086 [00:54] KlrSpz, to prove you are getting the wireless connection [00:54] Jan`, it's the new ntfs-3g driver [00:54] !fuse | Jan` [00:54] Jan`: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [00:54] Jan`, unfortunately it doesn't talk to new ipods though [00:54] ompaul: yes, wireless is working fine === Flaky is now known as Flaky`` [00:55] ompaul: but i think i was stupid and mixed up the interfaces in that script.. lemme switch and try [00:55] coreyo: Try this - check to see if direct rendering is on when logged in as root [00:55] Christ on a bike [00:55] katakaio, thank you, I am reviewing the posts now [00:55] Do you speak English?

My ubuntu instalation is driving me nuts [00:56] nonfake: really? same 'ol same 'ol here [00:56] What on earth did I say that wasn't family friendly, anyway?

[00:59] I've just setted up the nfs-kernel-server and have configured one share. Now I want to connect from a win box to this share, but it asks me for a PW. why? here is my config file: http://pastebin.us/?show=m20f3f103 [00:59] nickrud: it worked. thanks. [00:59] katakaio, nope, no DRI as root. I guess that means it's not a permissions problem? [00:59] Jan`: he made his own changes to the linux kernel [00:59] hwilde: Must have. Thanks for your help.

Couldn't it just be ubot? [01:00] quit picking on Jan` if you read back he mentioned that he only saw this relating to gentoo, wanted to see if it was true here [01:00] Jan`: I'm googling for info here and I keep finding lines like this: ppc-sources-benh-2.4-21-r2 has hfsplus support in kernel. What does that mean? [01:00] hwilde: I assume they're all the same thing; they all are running NFS. Thanks again [01:01] coreyo: Hmm. The command I used was "glxinfo | grep render" to see if DR was on or not . . . did you do the same or something different? [01:01] Jan`: I was answering your question [01:01] nickrud: It's short for Janine :) [01:01] nonfake, you may want to clarifyt what you are doing, and what cd/version/machine you are installing to. If the live cd is giving you problems. You may want to try the alternative install cd.

I'm completely confused now. Let's start again. [01:01] mete, I know that when you run netstat and it says rpc.mountd that is nfs http://linux.die.net/man/8/rpc.mountd [01:02] * Jan` pours liquid nitrogen into top of head [01:02] Jan`, state your question in one line or less.

Here is the line from another computer from netstat -apt: tcp 0 0 *:1016 *:* LISTEN - [01:03] hwilde: No PID listed [01:03] proqesi: Cool. Supplementary question: will I have to compile software, hack obscure text files, and generally do non-normal-user, outside-the-gui things to make this happen? [01:03] coreyo: OK then, looks like my issue is a permissions problem :P [01:03] katakaio, actually, the stock setup for gutsy worked very well except that eve-online and planeshift both crashed due to some problem between mesa/kernel driver/xorg driver [01:03] hwilde: I try to share one folder, which I can access from a windows client (without password). smb doesn't work for me [01:03] aptitude is recommended over apt-get now isn't it ? [01:04] does ubuntu come with a font that looks really legible at 5 pixels high and no antialias? [01:04] Are you using the intel driver for your 965 chipset? [01:04] hatter, by debian anyway [01:04] Whopps, that answers that [01:04] katakaio, aye, intel [01:04] Jan`: no [01:04] proqesi: Install software. Plug in drive. Plug in network. Drag and drop. That easy? [01:04] katakaio, I have both the mesa libs, the drm libs and kernel modules, and the xorg driver compiled from the latest source right now. [01:05] NMajik, sudo netstat -evap | grep 1016 [01:05] o m g Jan` just try it [01:05] hwilde: Scratch that *cue me feeling dumb*, I forgot to run it as root [01:05] coreyo: I don't have any first-hand experience with this, but I know some guys with 945/965 chipsets like reverting to the i810 driver [01:05] !smb | mete [01:05] mete: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

I would like to have *some* idea that it's feasible (for me) before I commit to that :) [01:05] Especially when they're crashing out programs or having compatibility issues [01:05] hwilde: It is, as expected, 4229/rpc.mountd [01:05] nickrud, not by ubuntu ? [01:05] Jan` why would it take so long? just install ubuntu, dual boot, and see if it works [01:06] NMajik, netstat is your friend [01:06] danbhtwo: Install ubuntu is half a day right there. [01:06] jan` or use the live cd [01:06] hatter, ubuntu recommends synaptic [01:06] ubotu I've used samba, but it's to slow for me (troughtput never over 50mb/s on a GBit net), so now I'll have a try to NFS [01:06] ops xD [01:06] hwilde: I really should get to know it better [01:06] half a day? Hmm... thats MS thinking!@ :0 [01:06] Jan` it doesnt take me that long to install, its not like windows [01:06] Live CD is an interesting idea, but I am not quite sure I trust it not to trash my windows install while it works. [01:06] AT ALL [01:06] katakaio, it was my experience that the i815 wasn't working on the 965, I guess I could try again now that I recompiled it [01:06] the live cd tends to play it safe by default. [01:06] hi, someone succesfully installed kde4 on ubuntu hardy? i optain a libgif4 conflict [01:06] hwilde: I've used samba, but it's to slow for me (troughtput never over 50mb/s on a GBit net), so now I'll have a try to NFS [01:07] mete, waht exactly do u want to do it is so easy [01:07] mete, you find samba slow ? [01:07] mete, just use scp or ftp or read the ntfs system from linux there are plenty of ways to move files [01:07] Dr_willis: I assume it needs some sort of disk to work on. [01:07] Jan`: I don't trust *any* software, especially windows, with my data. hence making backups [01:07] hatter: yes, it's slow :) [01:07] There are no disks in this computer I am happy letting Linux write to. [01:07] Jan`, the live cd? Nope - it dosent. [01:07] So. [01:07] coreyo: You're right, and I think the people who use it have recompiled it. But I should warn you, I don't really know what I'm talking about - never dared to do it myself [01:07] Jan`, I use them in mechines with no HD at all. [01:07] hwilde: I'm reading, thanks. Do you know how I can determine what kind of video card & driver I have? (It's a Dell laptop that came with Feisty pre-installed) [01:07] Jan`, you can install and boot from a usb pendrive [01:07] Jan`: so don't trust it [01:08] mete, you're not using a realtek chip are you ? [01:08] If you feel lucky, give it a whirl [01:08] rkj, lspci -v [01:08] hwilde: I use intel chips (pcie) [01:08] help! scrollkeeper-update is eating up ALL my cpu [01:08] !scrollkeep-update [01:08] hmm [01:08] mete, but you are trying to move a file from one place to another? why do u need samba it is so easy [01:08] Is the live CD on the Ubuntu site [01:09] Jan`: yes [01:09] or is it a product of some... other organisation. [01:09] danbhtwo, open up a terminal. type in kill -9 `pidof scrollkeeper-update` [01:09] Jan`: no [01:09] i have a simple question about ubunto, do i ask here? or is there a line of some sort? [01:09] hehheh.. gotta love lagged yes/no questions. :) [01:09] !ask | disasm [01:09] disasm: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:09] Yes - its on the site.. no its not by someone else.. [01:09] !ask | disasterpiece [01:09] disasterpiece: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:09] how dou uninstall in ubuntu 7.10? [01:09] ironfoot, download the cd from the website [01:10] ironfoot: uninstall what? [01:10] only one search result for livecd on ubuntu.com [01:10] ironfoot, fire up the package manager, click the installed package. [01:10] and it's not relevant [01:10] how does ubuntu handle games? such as quake2, WoW? [01:10] Um. [01:10] pro rails [01:10] hwilde: I've ~5clients, and these are connected to 3 GBit cards... and the throughtput of samba is to slow... (video editing on the network) [01:10] !ubuntu | Jan` [01:10] Jan`: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [01:10] I'm running Gusty with all updates and when I go to Places>Network Servers. I then see the Windows Network icon. I click on that and see the Homenet icon. I click on the Homenet icon and get an error message: The contents of this folder could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: homenet". [01:10] Jan`, it's called the Desktop CD now [01:10] I've read that this is a known bug, is there a fix available? [01:10] disasterpiece, there is a native quake2 client, wow reportedly works excellently with wine [01:10] Madpilot: Arrgh. [01:10] Jan`: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [01:10] mete, where is the video stored, what are the filesystems, and what are the OS's [01:10] Jan`, it used to be called the LiveCD; lots of us still use the term. Sorry to confuse you! [01:11] The desktop cd is a live cd :) [01:11] astro76, works perfectly with "wine"? [01:11] Dr_willis: ok thanx [01:11] I'm trying to install (required for qtruby)... how can I do that? [01:11] what is that? [01:11] Theres the Kubuntu and Ubuntu variants. [01:11] Madpilot: LiveCD is a term even I am familiar with. [01:11] !wine | disasterpiece [01:11] disasterpiece: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:11] I'm looking for an 802.11 USB dongle that's known to work out of the box with gutsy, does anyone have any make/model reccomendations? [01:11] and proberly other variants also. [01:11] hwilde thanks [01:11] disasterpiece, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [01:11] does anybody know how I can make a program run on startup as root? [01:11] Jan`, yeah, I've never been really sure why Ubuntu stopped using the term. I guess "Desktop" CD is slightly more user-friendly... [01:12] hwilde it keeps coming back [01:12] OK. This puter has an Athlon 64 X2 processor. I'm guessing I want "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD". [01:12] hwilde: server: ubuntu 7.10 server, FS: xfs clients: XP the videos are stored on the xfs raid5 [01:12] Jan`: yes [01:12] * Jan` downloads [01:12] Jan`: how much ram do you have? [01:12] wols: 2Gb. why? [01:12] Jan`, possibly. 64bit still has some issues, mostly iwth Flash and other commercial things. 32bit is often easier. [01:12] danbhtwo, did you just install? let it run the first time [01:12] Aaargh! [01:12] then you want i386 unless you like problems with flash and java [01:12] * Jan` stops downloading [01:12] astro, thank you very much. [01:13] Madpilot: you can run flash on 64-bit ubuntu after some tweaking [01:13] which one do I want! [01:13] hwilde yeah, its during an install [01:13] proqesi, sure, but it's the 'after some tweaking' part that's a pain. [01:13] hwilde maybe it was a mistake to kill it [01:13] Jan`: it>s your decision [01:13] Jan`, get the 32bit version for now. [01:13] danbhtwo, do you even know what it is ?! http://linux.die.net/man/8/scrollkeeper-update [01:13] * Jan` downloads 32 bit version [01:13] Now see I don't want to be a hater, really I don't. But it's exactly this sort of that puts people off Linux. [01:14] hwilde not a clue, but its back!!! [01:14] Jan`, 64bit issues are hardly unique to Linux - Windows has had it's share too... [01:14] danbhtwo, let it install.... read this link while you wait... http://linux.die.net/man/8/scrollkeeper-update [01:15] Do I need to protectively unplug all my windows disks from the puter before using this thing, or can I trust it not to dump all over them? [01:15] (they contain data which is worth actual money) [01:15] Jan`, the liveCD won't touch your hard drives. [01:15] Jan`, if thats the case - then yoyu SHOULD have backups allready. [01:15] i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 over a my laptop, everything it's working except for a strange issue, the windows border appears to big, and i dont have a clue how could i change them! [01:15] Guaranteed? [01:15] Dr_willis: We do, in a way, but it's a major PITA to restore the data. [01:15] if you're paranoid unplugging them won't hurt [01:16] Guaranteed the live cd will not write to the disks without your explicit permission [01:16] it's always possible that you might tell the installer to format those drives in some wierd cat-related keyboard accident [01:16] Jan`, what sort of Guarentee do you want... If you are that paranoid then use a test machine. [01:16] danbhtwo, windows xp xfs driver http://www.crossmeta.com/crossmeta.html [01:16] Dr_willis: Good idea. [01:16] hwilde: do you need more infos? [01:16] Or the PC may explode in a flaming ball of Flaming Fury [01:16] danbhtwo, oops wrong person [01:16] mete, windows xp xfs driver http://www.crossmeta.com/crossmeta.html [01:16] and note that Ubuntu specifically disclaims any "guarantee" in the "we will pay if we screw this up" sense [01:16] Dr_willis, nic alliteration, but too many flames :) [01:16] * Dr_willis thinks that if restoring backups is a PITA.. then one should find better Backup tools.. [01:16] arkanes: Most places do. [01:16] of course [01:16] Jan`, I will personally guarantee that Linux will not make your Windoze box worse. [01:17] just saying, if thats the kind of guarantee you want, you aren't getting it [01:17] Nothing could be worse than Windows ahhahahahahaha [01:17] nickrud, i couldent spell flautlance right. :) [01:17] Dr_willis: The issue is that it's a video edit station with several jobs on it. Those jobs can be restored using edit decision lists from the original video tape. [01:17] hwilde: for what I need xfs driver? the disks aren't in this computer.... and I need they remotely, not local ;) [01:17] This is the standard backup regime for this sort of data (which is vast). [01:17] However it is horribly time-consuming. [01:17] sup peeps? [01:17] sounds to me like you should be playign with other Os's on a non-critical box. [01:17] Dr_willis: Hell yes. [01:18] any bodu here runing in x64 [01:18] ? [01:18] go to walmart. get one of those $200 machines. :) [01:18] Dr_willis: I'll do it on the office PC. [01:18] That one breaks all the time anyway. [01:18] eww gPC? [01:18] Jan`, if youre just playing around with Ubuntu, why not use a virtual machine? [01:18] In Sudoku, does generating puzzles work? I just told it to generate a batch of 10 very hard puzzle and they haven't shown up in the game list [01:19] For what it's worth, we'd dearly dearly love to dump Windows before Adobe forces us to go to Vista by requiring it for one of their packages. [01:19] What chat room should I go to for problems upgrading my Feisty to Gutsy? [01:19] Jan`, how are you going to replace the Adobe program(s)? [01:19] astro76, what did you mean by "native quake2 client: [01:19] Doxa: here. What's the boggle? [01:19] Doxa, this is the place [01:19] why i'm on google for more then one hour try to search some linux dictionary translactor software and i cant get nathing yet? there are to mobil phones and everything but dont give the reserch to the linux stupid [01:20] #frontal_web [01:20] Jan`, from what I've experienced, most all programs out thus far that "require" Vista can be run fully using Alky. Im sure when more and more Vista only apps come out, more third party utilities will emerge to fix the issue. [01:20] !info quake2 | disasterpiece [01:20] disasterpiece: quake2: improved version of id Software's Quake II engine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.3-1.1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1240 kB, installed size 3144 kB [01:20] I've been searching for a way to install packages into another prefix [01:20] basically, whenever I try to upgrade it gives me an error saying it failed to fetch a whole bunch of files. [01:20] hwilde: ? [01:20] I also have an error when I try to upgrade using the alternative installation cd [01:20] disasterpiece, meaning written or linux, open-source, and in Ubuntu's repos ;) [01:20] Doxa, are you behind a proxy? [01:20] I added DPkg::Options "--root=/pkg/" in a custom apt.conf, voila, nothing [01:21] any ideas? [01:21] I'm not sure... [01:21] disasterpiece, quake2-data will grab the data files from your quake2 cd [01:21] How would I be able to check if I am/not? [01:21] Doxa, do you have to enter any information to browse the Internet? [01:21] gotcha [01:21] what on earth is alky [01:21] disasterpiece, the data files are copyrighted, but there is shareware/open source alternatives too [01:21] no, I'm connected on a network at home, which is always connected to the internet [01:21] Doxa, like does Gaim/Pidgin without any extra configuration (aside from account setup) [01:21] i see [01:21] Doxa, please paste the full error on !pastebin [01:22] disasterpiece, with the cd it will be exactly the original game [01:22] hi. does someone know where ubuntu has its localization info? i want to change the text in some dialogs of pidgin [01:22] so just install it as if it were windows [01:22] Doxa: It's not recommended but I used apt (instead of update-manager) to do my distro upgrade. I had similar issues to you and this fixed it although I had to run apt, then update manager and then apt again before everything was done [01:22] Error during update [01:22] A problem occured during the update.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:23] but am thinking of trying ubuntu out [01:23] Doxa: remove the medibuntu repos, upgrade and add the gutsy versions [01:23] am I just not specifying DPkg::Options correctly or does apt remove that "for me" because it's not standard [01:23] what is the use of write-protecting a hidden volume when mapping it with truecrypt? [01:23] i just want to make sure the games i play will still be playable should i switch to ubuntu === u^A is now known as u^A_ [01:23] Doxa, as Oli`` said, remove the medibuntu repos or replace them with another one as the one thats currently in your sources is down. [01:24] by what you're telling me. it seems they will be, and that it's pretty simple [01:24] not just down but nonexistent, it's medibuntu.org now [01:24] ok, so a) how do I go about doing that b) what should I replace them with [01:24] I think the preferred solution to the "vista? aargh!" problem is for someone to release a decent video editor for linux. [01:24] disasterpiece, most old games (pre 2006) work perfect on Ubuntu using Wine or Cedega or a similair program. Quite a few new games (TF2) work beautifully as well. [01:24] hello all [01:24] Still. [01:24] ? [01:24] awesome creed [01:25] thanks [01:25] Doxa, are you planning on setting up that box as a Media Center PC? [01:25] no, it's just my regular desktop [01:25] Doxa: system > software sources. wang in your password. click the third party tab and uncheck the medibuntu repos. [01:25] Doxa, then you can remove the medibuntu source completly. Follow Oli`` s directions :) [01:25] Doxa, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , delete the lines with sos-sst.com [01:25] Hardy Heron. Snicker. [01:26] Ok, thank you all. [01:26] What are the mediabuntu repos good for anyway? [01:26] * Pelo waves hello to the ppl in the room [01:26] Doxa: you'd probably be best to just remove them completely and add the gutsy version after you've upgraded [01:26] I mean, why do I have them in the first place? [01:26] could someone provide an address for a guide that covers the installation of a wired router (preferably SmartAX MT882) in ubuntu? [01:26] I buy a new computer which is an Intel coreduo 2 2.66 with an onboard 1Ghz network card. I tried to reinstall ubuntu the installation failed at the very beginning because it cannot detected the network card.

[01:27] Thanks again very much [01:27] Doxa, if you need support for all those simply switch out the sos repo with a more updated/working one. medibuntu.org website should have extra repos you can try.

[01:28] now I cannot use ubuntu anylonger. I tried so many time without result. [01:28] what kind of virus protection would you all advise? [01:28] who picks the names [01:28] disasterpiece, I use none [01:28] Jan`, which names ? [01:28] Pelo, Ubuntu's release names [01:28] Pelo: Hardy Heron. Gutsy Gibbon. Haw! [01:29] disasterpiece: I personally fly commando (nothing) but you could go for something non-resident (scan on demand) like ClamAV if you need something [01:29] i see [01:29] i'm guessing it's much more secure being linux based [01:29] disasterpiece, there is absolutely no need for virus protection, unless you are serving windows clients [01:29] disasterpiece, there aren'T significant virues treaths for linux but if you want to protect your windows friends by not passing along virues to them you can try clamtk or there is a nice linux version from the avast ppl [01:29] disasterpiece, unless you're hosting mail or some such for windows machines, you don't really need anti-virus [01:29] disasterpiece: exactly [01:29] Jan`, the ppl at canonical, they make ubuntu [01:30] disasterpiece, if you dont use programs like limewire or go to "shady" websites, you really dont have a need for AV software (aside from on-demand to scan once a month jsut to be on the safe side) [01:30] so nobody can help me with that? [01:30] gotcha [01:30] well [01:30] Here's an interesting question... Can WINE get viruses/malware? [01:30] etzerd, if you know the model of the card/chipset , try looking it up in the forum [01:30] i'm installing it right now on another machine, i'll chill here if i need more help!

[01:35] I cannot get sound capture to work on my sound card. [01:35] Gnea: you around? [01:35] x-X-x, you don't need to know the path to run an app in linux, just type hte name of it in the terminal or check in the menues, but to answer your questons, it gets installed all over the place, the exectutable files themselves are usualy in /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin [01:35] do a "which " to find the path [01:36] this wga strike better end soon, im running out of things to watch [01:36] (of the binary) [01:36] KlrSpz: no [01:36] where can i get divx codec for ubuntu 7.10 [01:36] kazol, opem alsamixer in the terminal and make sure that the mic isn't muted [01:36] owner10010101: check the gstreamer plugins === Pir8_ is now known as Pir8 [01:36] !codecs | owner10010101 [01:36] owner10010101: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:36] kk its becouse i installed 7zip and i want to make it the default app to handle zip files and i cant find it [01:36] hwilde: I've been reading the links you sent me on duel displays - one concern is that once I configure for two displays how do I go back when I go somewhere with my laptop? [01:36] does anyone know how to change the cursors in ubuntu? when i right click the desktop and change them in customize, they only change inside certain windows.. [01:36] btw is 7zip better than archive manager ? [01:37] remember that if you codec enumerates a 'Capture' element, too, you need to unmute that as well. [01:37] if your* [01:37] rkj, he's gone [01:37] x-X-x, the 7zip files will be handled throught file roller, I dm not sure that you have a seperate interface for it [01:37] k [01:37] bummer, anybody else know about dual monitors?

[01:38] x-X-x, file roller is the built in archive manager, it will use 7zip and rar if installed [01:38] grout, check in www.getdeb.net [01:39] kk thanx btw have i made a good decision is 7zip better than what archive manager hgad before ? [01:39] had* [01:39] pelo: nothing came up :( === kilrae_ is now known as kilrae [01:39] hi does any1 know if there is a difference between amsn 0.97RC and amsn 0.97 pls? [01:39] x-X-x, for zip? 7z? [01:39] anyone know why flash player doesn't work? [01:39] x-X-x, never tried it , 7zip is just a format , just use the one you want from those available in file roller [01:39] yes [01:39] KlrSpz: ok thanks, also the Xinerama HowTo mentions a program called i810switch, and when I ran it got the error message "PCI id of i810 is not recognized" [01:39] x_zeuss u have to install flash [01:40] x_zeuss, broken installler, get the tar from the adobe site [01:40] is there any thing I would miss out on by runing 64bit ubuntu? [01:40] x-X-x, well it's gonna use it for 7z obviously, but for zip it probably still uses the normal zip library [01:40] how do you clear the command line history? [01:40] x_zeuss, you mean as discribed in the topic of this channel? [01:40] x-X-x, which is fine [01:40] kk [01:40] x-X-x, you could always use 7zip itself on the command line too [01:40] so installing zip was useless ?

[01:41] larson9999: ok ok, any ideea when this is going to be fixed? [01:42] kk thnx pelo and astro76 i just wanted to know cos on windows 7zip was like the best at handling zip files and the other formats so i was wondering if it is the best in linux [01:42] types* [01:42] !best | x-X-x [01:42] x-X-x, I always use it when I am forced to use windows too ;) [01:42] x-X-x: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [01:42] kk thnx ubotu [01:42] hi [01:43] x_zeuss, nope. but it only takes about a minute or less to download and install the tarball from adobe's site.

[01:46] which, interestingly enough, they still do. [01:46] dario, can we help you with something ? [01:46] It's just that they type/paste the triggers instead of the entire shebangs.

[02:00] thnx for the help guys pelo and astro76 in particular [02:01] is there any tool to modify fonts easly, in example make all glyphs more thick? since default ubuntu fonts suck [02:01] default ubuntu fonts DO suck [02:01] and this pidgin typing making the whole line bounce thing isn't great either [02:02] RevTom: agreed [02:02] I just installed a flashplayer today. [02:02] how do i make Calibri and Consolas my default fonts? [02:02] short of running >4GB of ram, is there any advantage to using x64 right now over x32. I am on 64 now just so I can see it for myself, and unless I'm missing something, 64 bit is a waste of resources for my system. Turion x2 with 4GB ram. I run virtualbox for Windows XP and to play with other distros, but other that that and some 3d games, I'm pretty low demand for my system. [02:02] x64 does not have Flash :( [02:03] So, I've been trying to get php installed on my localhost - but everytime I browse to my php files, it tries to download them...

I'm wanting to get xubuntu on arm [02:03] WorkingOnWis1, not really, unless you have specific 64bit applications [02:03] hello guys [02:03] sonja, you can change your system fonts at System->Prefs->Appearances, Font tab [02:03] astro76: is there such a thing as a non-32 bit linux app? [02:03] is there any hex reader like hex that will compare 2 files? [02:03] WorkingOnWis1: 64bit ones? [02:04] WorkingOnWis1, think like scientific applications, that can take advantage of large numbers [02:04] all i can get out of grub-install is an error /dev/hda does not have any coresponding bios drive [02:04] WorkingOnWis1, basically unless you already know you probably don't need it [02:04] hi, i have a ntfs hdd on my comp, when i double-click it in nautilus it says i don't have permision to mount it. how do i mount it?

I had the CD lying around but I actually want a server :D [02:04] astro76: lol...I usually hate that answer, but I think u r right in this case :) [02:04] astro76: anything that does math on large datasets typically benefits (to include game physics, etc) [02:04] hello [02:04] ndee: Ubuntu?

Originally, I took this at face value, but then I thought 'Hm. How can it not need to be defragged...?' So I found this wonderful article online. http://dataexpedition.com/~sbnoble/Tips/filesystems.html However, it leaves with an end little hook 'If [the drive geometry] information is not available, or is not accurate, then the drive may perform very [02:12] now..i'm going to download that [02:13] cvd: yup. Just go through the options... if i remember correctly, it's enabled by default, and asks you every time if you want to save a password. [02:13] i'm from argentina [02:13] can anyone tell me is there a way to install flashplayer on a 64bit os? [02:13] Hendrix, use synaptic [02:13] Any body here use gnash as a flash player for 64bit bnt? [02:13] !synaptic | Hendrix [02:13] Hendrix: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

Maybe ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-mobile (the latter is an obvious port, they might be able to steer you) [02:14] i really want a bt headset, and it would be nice if it also worked so I could watch movies in bed w/ headphones [02:14] cvd: try asking in #firefox [02:15] it's easy to use??

I'm trying to find our where the X11 libraries and headers are located [02:18] thanks friends..!!!!now...i'll start with my dvd project [02:18] happy new year!!! [02:18] see you later! [02:18] I've installed the xserver dev package but it doesn't seem to be enough [02:18] pteague: ehheh. True. and no, i posted it for file fragmentation. What I was wondering is, is there a way to verify that my drive geometry is at least reasonably correct? [02:18] Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday? [02:19] I have a x-fi sound card and I believe that my onboard sound is not compatible with lxn so is 64bit my only choise? (I do have 4GB RAM) [02:19] that i'm not sure of, but i do know that some of the different fs automatically handle defragging during low loads [02:19] Ive heard so much about 64bit and the 4 gb ram. ive heard that its only when you have OVER 4gb.. or some times whenits close to 4gb.. and so on.. :) [02:20] try booting the 32bit live cd - and see if it sees all the ram as a test. [02:20] as for the xi-fi card. as far as i know Creative has only released 64bit drivers for it. so far. [02:21] no it only sees like 3.4 or something but the main reason is that there are no drivers for my sound card on 32 only 64bit (x-fi) [02:21] kriel> i know on ext3 (last i check anyways) it's impossible to undelete a deleted file as there's no way to guarantee a portion of the deleted file hasn't been overwritten... where as in FAT/FAT32 it's marked a certain way & there's no auto defrag [02:22] how do i install cabextract ?? [02:22] pteague: yeah, i understand that... although i didn't know it before, i understand it ~.^; but im talking at more of a hard drive configuration level, not necessarily a FAT* vs. ext* comparison. [02:22] i know this cause we had been looking at moving cvs to subversion & rather than the gradual move we were thinking about we ended up making a cold turkey change... i accidently rm -fdr the cvs repositories [02:23] kriel> ah, that i don't know about... that's to geeky for me ;) [02:24] ª_ª [02:24] Okay, this is the LAST time I am reformatting my computer. And no more Pulse Audio! [02:25] kriel: fdisk has a verify option [02:26] ifireball: hm. That could work. But wouldn't that just verify the uh... the validity of the partition, not necessarily the geometry? [02:26] help. I installed Ubuntu for my dad this christmas, but he called me and sais that nothing happens after he logs in... it just hangs. :-( anybody know what the problem could be? === Kenny is now known as _Kenny_ [02:26] Actually, I'm still interested in installing PulseAudio. Is there anyway to install the PA sound server in a "sandbox"? I know of chroot, but I'm not familiar with it. I just want to make sure I can easily revert any changes. [02:27] Where can I download Ubuntu JeOS ? [02:27] Is there maybe a regression after the latest updates or something? Or would turning off the bluetooth thing from startup cause this? [02:27] kriel: fdisk can alos give you geometry info [02:27] !jeos | PMantis [02:27] PMantis: JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. [02:27] another question, what level are RAIDs set up at? I remember seeing options in BIOS for it, but I remember people setting it up at the software level as well. Can it be set up from both? [02:28] PMantis: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos courtesy of Google. [02:28] Shpook, chroot is kinda difficult, but basically creates a separate file system for you to play in, and whatever you mess up in there won't mess up your main system [02:28] how can I install Evolution from the hardy repos but stay on Gutsy? [02:28] ifireball: Okay. Thanks. [02:28] Thanks guys [02:28] kriel: other then that, its not something the software can actually "see", the disk controller pretty much hides the real geometry in pc-grade disks [02:28] Shpook, tools like dchroot make it easier to manage ... look into that. :-) [02:28] hendrixski: So I could set up a chroot environment, and not have to reformat or fight a long battle if I mess something up? [02:28] is there any program to recombine split video files short of 'cat'ing 20 files together. thats so time consuming [02:29] hey. I have problems with divx in ubuntu. Every player just shuts down, when i try to play a movie. Does anybody know how to fix this? [02:29] Shpook, you'll only have to fight the long battle to learn how to use chroot... but once that's over, yeah. If you mess something up, just delete the chroot. it's kind of like a virtual machine except it's only a file system [02:29] !ubotu divx [02:29] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:30] hendrixski: Perfect.

The speed gain wasn't enough to be worth the headache [02:32] hallo world! [02:32] :-) [02:32] hendrixski: Oh, and the chroot wiki has the information for dchroot [02:33] hendrixski: Thanks again. [02:33] no problem [02:33] how can I install Evolution from the hardy repos but stay on Gutsy? [02:33] hi, i have an issue with a recently installed ubuntu and firefox 3.0 Beta 2...It won't let me save to anything but the "root" directory. Can anyone help? [02:33] just don't say I didn't warn you, it's not easy to learn all the nook and crannies of how it works [02:33] WorkingOnWis1: evolution relies on a lot of gnome libraries, that's not likely to end well. [02:33] which iso-file should i use for a intel 64b installation - can i use the amd64 builds!? [02:34] crdlb: thats not what i wanted to hear... [02:34] hendrixski: Neither is marriage, but I'm trying anyways. :-D [02:34] I have an IBM t 43 and can't get the midi working, any suggestions? [02:34] lol [02:34] brave man [02:34] lammy: yes, or the i386, depending on if you want a 64 or 32 bit OS [02:34] lol [02:34] what can you use as a .rar archiver in ubuntu? [02:34] crdlb: although....i could compile it from source... [02:34] facted: You should ask in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org [02:34] So, anybody... would recent updates cause Gutsy to not be able to load a session once you log in? or possible disabling the bluetooth utility from the startup menu? I kinda need to know quickly [02:35] !ubotu midi [02:35] Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [02:35] so i'm trying to get my raid-0 going with ubuntu, i've run through the steps pasted here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto - (i did these steps before i did the full install) is that right? [02:35] hendrixski: Is it hanging right after login? [02:35] Shpook, yup [02:35] rere [02:35] and I can't be sure what's going on because it's my fathers' computer, and it's 5 hours away [02:35] ubotu, rar | biff420 [02:35] biff420: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:36] hendrixski: let me search through my bookmarks, I remember coming across a fix for that, one sec [02:36] thanks [02:36] is there a way to use a firefix for windows video codec in firefox for linux? there is no linux equivilant of this codec. [02:36] hey, will skype come to gutsy anytime soon? T_T [02:36] Flannel: thanks - i will try the amd64 for my intel core2duo ... [02:36] oh man, you'd be a lifesaver if you have the fix [02:37] Does anyone know why firefox won't let me save anywhere but root (when I go to save, the places menu only goes as high up as root...i can't go any higher in the directory tree). [02:37] cause you fail? [02:37] facted... by "root" do you mean "/" ? [02:37] is there anyway to FORCE nautilus to copy a file over to another hard drive thats greater than 6gigs ? [02:37] no, the "root" directory [02:37] there isnt higher than root heh [02:37] in the files system [02:37] try /home [02:38] facted: there shouldnt be a root dir [02:38] are you starting firefox as root? [02:38] Hey, anyone know how to set links (browser) to save cookies [02:38] facted: a dir caled root i mean [02:38] not 100% sure, I followed the insturctions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [02:38] facted, please don't tell me you logged in as root! [02:38] i don't think I did [02:38] he just doesnt understand the directory structure [02:38] i just changed the resolution from 600/800 to 1200/1000 and it told me to log off and log back on my user [02:38] although, anything is possible...i just installed linux today :) [02:38] so i did and now the screen is all scrambled its at the login window [02:38] what do i do [02:39] facted: do u see a directory caled home? [02:39] facted, oh. Ok :-) [02:39] /home/username [02:39] hendrixski: did you try hitting ctrl-alt-f1 after it hangs, then at the terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? [02:39] not when I go to save something in firefox [02:39] is what are want [02:39] hey guys, skype doesnt work on gutsy T_T [02:39] the places menu on the left goes as high up as "root" [02:39] s/are/you [02:39] actually, really "filesystem" [02:39] do i need to the full install of unbuntu before or after the raid? [02:39] oh wait, hold on [02:40] how do i fix my screen it is all scrambled now after changing resolution [02:40] !skype [02:40] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [02:40] Can someone help me install Aptana on Ubuntu? I want to install the 1.0 release (http://aptana.com) but I have no idea how. [02:40] facted: the / or root directory is like your c: drive its the top level [02:40] !skype | korosora [02:40] korosora: please see above [02:40] I gotcha, i actually found my home directory in there with my username [02:40] Smart bot, we love you. [02:40] i am so sorry for the bother :) [02:40] Shpook, I did not. because I don't know if it's a x-server problem. I can call him and tell him to type that in [02:41] anyone know how i can fix my screen its all scrambled after changing the resolution [02:41] facted, don't worry, we were all beginers once too [02:41] facted: u scared us....no problem [02:41] i'm trying to get raid set up, anyone lend a hand? [02:41] some of us...me...stil are. [02:41] hendrixski: I can't find anything in my bookmarks, but I found a few suggestions for the above method in the ubuntu forums. It worked for some, and didn't for others. [02:41] whose got a towel, this water behind my ears is buggin me :) [02:42] * Forbr4d3 tosses WorkingOnWis1 a towel [02:42] lol [02:42] Forbr4d3: ty [02:42] Nostahl, just like shpook suggested for my problem above ... get a terminal (hit ctrl+alt+f1) and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [02:43] hendrixski: I can say that the one time that I had the exact same problem, it was caused by me installing the wrong nvidia driver. [02:43] k [02:43] can you messge me that so it dosnt fly by please hendrixski [02:43] hendrixski: whats the problem? [02:43] Shpook, I didn't install any drivers for him though [02:43] question though...why is it when I save a file to my desktop, it automatically becomes locked so I can no longer delete it? [02:43] (or rather, i have to go into the terminal and delete it with root privlidge) [02:43] Forbr4d3, I installed Gutsy for my dad over christmas, and everything worked then today he calls says when he tries to log in nothing happens [02:43] facted: file permissions? [02:43] from firefox that is [02:44] i understand, but do my permissions for every file saved from firefox have to be root? [02:44] or can I alter that somehow [02:44] facted: you are doing something strangely [02:44] hendrixski: does he log in and is tolt his session lasted less than 10 seconds? [02:44] facted... there's something very wrong with that. it shouldn't be root [02:44] yea, that's what I fear [02:44] facted, the normal version works fine [02:44] i can't play any videos at all in ubuntu. have an ati radeon card...Anyone knows the solution?. [02:44] doesn't seem right at all [02:45] i am trying to my raid-0 going with ubuntu. I haven't fully installed ubuntu, should i do that before or after the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto ?? [02:45] facted: if you open up a terminal and type cd ~ [02:45] hendrixski: I would say give that a try, it won't make it any worse. At least rule out the basics. [02:45] facted, maybe something is wrong with the beta [02:45] that will bring you to your home dor [02:45] then cd Desktop [02:45] WorkingOnWis1, nope, from what he told me it just has that red-ish screen and nothing happens [02:45] and ls -l [02:45] yes forbr4d3? [02:45] hendrixski: like gdm isnt starting but the x server is? [02:46] i did all that [02:46] facted, check the permissions on the firefox binary, is it set suid? [02:46] no [02:46] it's set to root! [02:46] whats the file permissions say? [02:46] which is def. not the way it should be, i think ;) [02:46] facted, when you click on applications-->accessories-->terminal does it say username@computername -$ or does it say root@computername -$ ? [02:46] root:root [02:46] facted, that's the owner, not the permissions [02:46] what about the rwx part [02:46] root@... [02:46] WorkingOnWis1, I'm guessing that's it.... because xserver is needed for the login screen right? so yeah, it's that Gnome isn't starting up [02:47] i logged in as root didnt' I... [02:47] facted... then you logged in as root. [02:47] lol [02:47] facted: you are running firefox as root [02:47] yes, that's bad [02:47] hmm [02:47] facted: how did you start firefox [02:47] if you're on IRC as root that's even worse [02:47] you dont need to sudo firefox heh [02:47] * nickrud reaches for ddc === Neskaya is now known as hugglehug-gone [02:47] from the applications->internet->firefox [02:47] though I did this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html to install firefox 3.0 [02:47] so you are logged in as root heh [02:47] facted, find a manual on how to create an account that isn't root, and then log out and then log in as that non-root user :-) ASAP [02:48] Does his terminal say he's logged in as root? [02:48] terminal says root... [02:48] alright [02:48] yeah [02:48] tahnsk for the help guys [02:48] hendrixski: its a 3 step thing. x starts, then the login manager (gdm for Ubuntu by defaut) then the session, Gnome. I dont know how, but it sounds like gdm needs do reconfigured maybe? [02:48] i'm gonna create a new account that's not root [02:48] good thinkin [02:48] adios [02:48] make the new account Tree [02:48] haha [02:48] wierd, gdm has to be told to allow root to log in at all.... [02:48] wish i knew what "root" meant :P [02:49] !root [02:49] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:49] that was an strange case === _Kenny_ is now known as Kenny_K [02:49] i am having issues with the process evince thumbnauler and pdftotext taking up all my cpu cycles [02:49] The sound is not working and alsamixer is giving an error device not found. [02:49] disasterpiece, root in this context means the user that can do anything [02:49] WorkingOnWis1, ah. Ok.... then.. .I guess it may be because I unselected the thing bluetooth manager program from the startup and that's causing gnome not to load [02:49] and i am ruunning xubuntu [02:49] lol Ubotu has some strange responses sometimes. [02:50] i login to my iPhone as root :p === Kenny_K is now known as AK_Kenny [02:50] ok guys [02:50] i got an ati card [02:50] WorkingOnWis1, Forbr4d3, Shpook is there a way to get that program back on the startup-programs list from commandline? [02:50] back...on second thought, i'm logged in as my username I believe [02:50] terminal says: [02:50] it said to use restricted drivers to use the full 3d support of the card so i said yea [02:50] !raid [02:50] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:50] it installed them [02:50] root@username-desktop [02:50] facted: your still root [02:50] facted, you're root [02:51] hendrixski: maybe. again, I dont know how, but there is a way to kill the xserver, then from the command line start gnome in a "safe-mode" way, no scripts, not autostart apps.... [02:51] then i tryed selecting my monitor and the 1200/1000 resolution in screens and graphics [02:51] what's weird is when I opened up my users [02:51] i am having issues with the process evince thumbnauler and pdftotext taking up all my cpu cycles [02:51] speaking of raid... any particular reason to make single disks raid devices? [02:51] it told me to log off when i did it scrambled the screen [02:51] hendrixski: i missed the first part of what you were saying [02:51] what are you trying to do? [02:51] pteague, absolutely none [02:51] hendrixski: I'm sure there is, but honestly, I wouldn't know how. Was it the Bluetooth manager? [02:51] my username account has my name (which is what I set), and tha'ts how I signed in [02:51] WorkingOnWis1, good call.... .and then from safe-mode he can re-select it [02:51] there is a separate root:root account [02:51] which I did not use to login [02:51] hendrixski: yup. all the things I've done and forgot....sorry I'm not more help with the details. [02:52] then i restarted the computer it comes back on saying your screen and graphics could not be detected correctly. to use higher resolutions visual effects or multiple screens you have to configure the display yourself. [02:52] any idea's? [02:52] Nostahl, to get back to your original config, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg. You may need to clt-alt-f1 to log in and do that, ctl-alt-f7 gets you back to the graphical shell [02:52] astro76, i am trying to get raid going. should i do the full install before performing the steps that the !raid help implies? or after? [02:52] facted: what is the name of the account you want to be logged in as? [02:52] figured there wasn't... the moron that set up the production server made each directory off root it's own raid disk even though it's a single partition [02:52] i have to change my permissions to not allow "administer the account" [02:52] is that correct? [02:52] facted: type whoami in a terminal [02:52] Nostahl, then hit clt-alt-backspace to restart X with the new config [02:52] Shpook, yeah, I deselected it because he doesn't have bluetooth. and I'm guessing that may be causing it to not load [02:52] "administer the system" rather [02:52] facted: don [02:52] facted, no, don't do that [02:52] facted: don [02:53] k...not doing that [02:53] facted: don't change any of root's permissions [02:53] no, not root's [02:53] (sry for the typo there) [02:53] my username's [02:53] facted, if you do that, you won't be able to sudo [02:53] my main account [02:53] nickrud can you msg me that so it dosnt fly by [02:53] alrighty, I'll call him..... you guys look out for facted.... he may have created his default user with root priveledges. Which is just asking for someone to hack into his computer [02:53] hendrixski: Hmm...I always disable everything Bluetooth, without a problem. Was that the same time he started having this problem? [02:53] Nostahl, what kind of video card do you have [02:53] ati allinwonder 9600xt [02:54] Shpook, it's the only thing I did... plus updates [02:54] it's a clean install [02:54] ok, so how can I alter my account to remove root prvilidges? [02:54] hendrixski: let us know how it goes. I'd love to know if I'm in the right neighborhood with your problem [02:54] be back after the phone call, I'll let you know how it goes [02:54] facted: that isn't your account [02:54] facted: type "apt-get update" [02:54] facted: Do you get a permission error? [02:54] hendrixski: Yes, please let us know. Good luck. [02:54] anyone give me a hand with raid on ubuntu? :D [02:54] i got the update [02:54] no permission error [02:54] facted: Did you put sudo infront of it? [02:55] i did not put sudo in front of it [02:55] which means the account I am currently using has root privlidge (without sudo) [02:55] is the gparted safe to resize NTFS partitions? [02:55] correct? [02:55] facted: try this: log out, when you see the box, type your username/password (where the username isn't root) , come back here [02:55] compqiz [02:55] tha'ts how I logged into my account, trust me [02:55] facted: type this `echo $UID` what does it return? [02:55] i never typed in root [02:55] facted: ok :) [02:56] echo returns 0 [02:56] Hi, my touchpad mouse is moving around and crazy with 7.10 [02:56] facted: I'm just confused how when you don't login as root, your logged in w/ uid 0 [02:56] moves all over the place [02:56] Like it has a mind of its own [02:56] errpast: any weird magnetic things nearby [02:56] hey i can't play any videos at all in ubuntu. have an ati radeon card...Anyone knows the solution?. apart from buying a new card [02:56] Woo. Ubuntu live CD downloaderised. [02:57] compwiz18, no, not that I know of [02:57] facted: well, you're certainly root then. What folders are in /home? (ls /home) [02:57] question: in my user settings for user privlidges for my regular account (not the root), should "Administer the system" be checked? [02:57] I think it's a driver thing [02:57] test [02:57] Jan`, now put it in, and see the Flaming Fury :) [02:57] Towelboy: using the restricted driver? [02:57] probably need a touchpad driver, then to tweak xorg.conf [02:57] I logged in to my acount with my username and password (not with root:root) [02:57] hi [02:57] ugggh [02:57] facted: yes [02:57] errpast: mine does that sometimes, but not for that long [02:57] facted: Your first user can administer the system [02:57] i got a problem [02:57] compwiz18, ya, it will got 10 minutes and be ok. Then jump all over [02:57] I see, so then the fact that I have root right now is still a very bad thing, I take it? [02:58] frustrating!! [02:58] if I have an entry in my sources.list as deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ and I want to pin it, would the a= be getdeb or getdeb/ ? thanks. [02:58] errpast: yeah :( [02:58] compwiz18: no the free one...and i got compiz to work...but no video? [02:58] facted: echo $PS1 [02:59] write me a personal message please if you feel you can help me with a driver problem [02:59] facted: the fact that when you login, you somehow become root is the issue. All systems have a root user, and their first user (the real 'user' user) has the ability to administer the system [02:59] ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ [02:59] Abyssal: you might get more help if you just put it out there, a driver problem could be anything. [02:59] facted: hmm [02:59] I see [02:59] Abyssal, state your problem in the room, not only will it be easier for someone to help you, it might help someone else. [03:00] Towelboy: try turning compiz off, and then try, I know I can't watch stuff while using compiz... I'm using restricted though [03:00] * Jan` pokes at the .iso with a stick [03:00] facted: looks normal is all [03:00] ok. i got a HP scanjet scanner 3800. but i do not get it running. [03:00] compwiz18: ok. will try. thanks [03:00] what can i do. [03:00] facted: how about 'id' [03:00] facted: So, when you went about installing FF3, what did you do? [03:00] i could not find a driver. [03:01] uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) [03:01] facted: not normal... [03:01] Abyssal: did you try searching google for a Linux driver? [03:01] facted: unless you entered 'sudo -s' at some point... [03:01] i don't remember doing that [03:01] How do I get the latest nvidia drivers? [03:01] but I cannot say for sure [03:02] facted: you should reinstall ubuntu man [03:02] would there be a way to undue/check that [03:02] is there a program to compare two text files [03:02] magic_ninja: diff [03:02] facted: you have something seriously screwed up [03:02] You know, when I installed FF3b2, I just extracted the tarball and ran it. worked fine. [03:02] facted: does sound strange... [03:02] magic_ninja: and various graphical versions, they probably all (at least most) have "diff" in their name. [03:02] facted: i assume you have already rebooted and logged in again... [03:02] facted: its impossible to have your situation from a default install [03:02] ok, how do I reinstall ubuntu? do I need to format anything or can I just run the livecd again? [03:02] facted: if you find the bash history file, it will tell you what you did, and you could put it in the pastebin... [03:02] shpook: yes sure. it says that there is a kind of hp3900-series_0.11.tar.gz driver which could help. [03:02] i can try again [03:03] hi .... i am trying to make a loops for parameters which shows all possible combos i cant do it.... i have read tons for faq's [03:03] let me restart and see what happens [03:03] be back in a minute [03:03] facted: ok [03:03] facted: Yeah, just pop it in and reinstall. If this is a new install, that's probably best (it'll certainly take less time/effort) [03:03] Flannel, magic_ninja: kompare (one that doesn't have diff in the name) is a pretty good one if you're on kde [03:03] facted: im just saying cuz itll probably be quicker than to figure out the problem and fix it yourself [03:03] i [03:03] LjL: krazy KDE kitizens and their kaotic knames. [03:03] shpook: a detailled description how to install it would be fine. [03:03] there's a gnome one which works very much like it, but the name escapes me right now [03:03] i'm getting errors due to not specifying where tclConfig.sh [03:03] Flannel: bleh. [03:03] what package gives that? [03:04] compwiz18: nope...the player still just quits. when trying to play any video...strange [03:04] although it would be interesting to see how it went from install to running gdm as root without knowing what he was doing [03:04] initx: what? [03:04] Towelboy: what player are you using? [03:04] compwiz18: mplayer [03:04] Hey, what is the hardware support for the Creative X-Fi in linux like? Has anyone tested this Beta driver that they released? Is there an Opensource driver for it and is it any good? [03:04] Towelboy: maybe try vlc and see what happens? [03:04] LjL: I'm trying to build a tcl app, and have hunted down what an error means. But I need to know where the tclConfig.sh file is [03:05] is there a how to how to install a scanner driver? [03:05] !find tclConfig.sh | initx [03:05] initx: Package/file tclconfig.sh does not exist in gutsy [03:05] bad [03:05] i got the scanner and the driver but do not know how to install the *.tar.gz file. [03:05] Boa noite à todos! Good evening for all [03:05] symantec manager [03:05] ? [03:05] you mean I have to build tcl by hand and just hope it's real? [03:05] hmm [03:05] Abyssal: extract the .tar.gz file [03:05] compwiz18:its the same...have tried all players now [03:06] checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: yes directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh [03:06] initx: no, i mean that no matter what the stupid bot says, tclConfig.sh is provided by "tcl8.4-dev" [03:06] compwiz18: how? i need the detailed idiot version :-) [03:06] Towelboy: sounds like a problem with.... either the video libs or X [03:06] facted: just rebooted? [03:06] Abyssal: could you send the link where you got the driver? [03:06] back, same thing in my administator [03:06] sure [03:06] LjL: thanks. figured it was in one of the -dev [03:06] root@username-desktop [03:06] so I guess I'll just reinstall :) [03:07] thanks for everyone's help [03:07] facted: did you have to login or did it auto-login? [03:07] anyone want my 2 cents? [03:07] I had to login [03:07] facted: do you see your username after you run this command: cat /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f1 [03:07] wait [03:07] facted: it does sound best. I hope you don't have any data to save on your Ubuntu box. [03:08] in my applications, i have system tools -> root terminal [03:08] facted: that'll do it every time... [03:08] is that my problem? [03:08] i'm not actually in my root account, but i'm accessing the terminal root... [03:08] ah ha! haha [03:08] the things I have to learn! [03:08] facted: tsk, tsk, tsk. [03:08] Abyssal: You can just right click the file and click "Extract" or "Extract Here" by the way [03:08] one final question then [03:09] facted: if you are die hard on fixing it look at http://www.ibiblio.org/oswg/oswg-nightly/oswg/en_US.ISO_8859-1/articles/gdm-reference/gdm-reference/x135.html [03:09] that was the link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=150599&release_id=563378 [03:09] I have a question can i have 2 users with different settings on berly and one without berly settings? [03:09] green: yeah, with different sessions [03:09] and set your gdm.conf enable root to 0 [03:09] I think I screwed up firefox anyway [03:09] how to protect self from user to root exploits and other local privilages escalation? [03:09] I'm just going to reinstall === Crust is now known as novacrust [03:09] that's going to be the easiest way [03:09] ok i extracted it. now i got a folder on my desktop [03:09] initx how about installation? [03:09] facted: normal terminal is ofcourse in applications/accessories/terminal [03:10] facted: it you start gnome-terminal and it puts you it root [03:10] facted: its not just firefox man [03:10] initx for example one user has opera install and other user does not? [03:10] facted: what happens if you select normal terminal? [03:10] hmm [03:10] gotcha, thanks [03:10] jauru: he gets root [03:10] anyone know if i should fully install ubuntu before i setup the raid? or after? [03:10] facted: press alt+f2, then type gnome-terminal [03:10] username@ [03:10] ;) [03:10] ta [03:10] Abyssal: hold on one sec, I'm gonna download it and help you === novacrust is now known as Crust [03:10] green: well, if you install it on the system everyone has it [03:10] facted: whoami [03:10] thanks for everything [03:11] shpook: i hope this driver is good enough for running HP scanjet 3800 [03:11] facted: best of luck... [03:11] I'm very confused and I need help...I got the driver for my wireless network card working(realtek rtl8185L) but I have to rerun the scripts that came with it every time I reboot...? [03:11] facted: you can check your firefox properties.. right click and properties [03:11] compwiz18: yeah...so should i just try changing the driver . or how do i best shoot this problem? [03:11] DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 [03:11] facted: it should say something like firefox %u for command [03:11] green: do you just want to lock a user out of using a program? [03:11] ssddddddddd [03:12] does compizfusion work on 64bit ubuntu? [03:12] PKdoR, Yes [03:12] PKdoR: yep [03:12] afternoon all, so i dloaded alien arena for linux 6.10, how do i install it? [03:12] will do, thanks [03:12] PKdoR, Pretty much all open source applications do [03:12] how about vbox? [03:13] PKdoR: yup [03:13] ahhhghh! open source nirvana! [03:13] moDumass: wait 60 years for the OS, first.. seriously, if it's a deb package you should just be able to double-click in file manager, it's that easy now [03:14] how can you get ubuntu to detect your wireless card? [03:14] moDumass: or dpkg -i filename.deb [03:14] initx yeh but i found using the one in synaptic just screwed up my system [03:14] Abyssal: Okay, open up the terminal. [03:14] ok [03:14] Which card do you have kristin? [03:14] it seems to be a problem with the synaptic version [03:14] omg i did it! :) [03:14] moDumass, What format is the installer in? [03:15] it's a deb, just an old one, Jordan_U [03:15] terminal is open [03:15] Abyssal: then your going to need to CD into the directory where you extracted the file. [03:15] linksys wireless g card [03:15] initx no . but thanks [03:15] kristin: I think it uses the broadcom chipset. You should be able to get it to work by enabling restricted drivers [03:15] directly into the new directory or just onto the desktop? [03:15] hey, thanks for the help on skype. i appreciate it. [03:15] initx if i wanted to install compizfusion woould i need to install anything specific to run on ubuntu? [03:15] where the folder is located [03:15] video driver / etc [03:16] green: glxinfo | grep direct [03:16] dissection, how to i enable my restricted drivers? [03:16] Abyssal: into the "hp3900-series_0.11" directory. [03:16] ok shpood [03:16] shpook [03:16] i did that [03:16] I hate expert exchange [03:16] so sneaky [03:16] kristin: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager [03:17] green, You would need drivers that support 3D acceleration and texture_from_pixmap [03:17] WorkingOnWis1, Forbr4d3, Shpook :-) yup, that did it. logged in in safe mode and re-enabled it. [03:17] Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday? [03:17] hendrixski: :D great [03:17] Abyssal: now type in "sudo ./INSTALL.sh" [03:17] hendrixski: dads happy now? [03:17] now I gotta figure out how he can watch wsx files on his browser :-/ [03:17] hmm [03:17] hendrixski: Awesome! Great. [03:18] is there a way to check if an external hdd is about to fail? === Crust is now known as Novacrust [03:18] hendrixski: what is wsx? [03:18] dissection, it wants me to specify where the firmware can be found, i'm really new at this, so is there a general place it should go? [03:18] Abyssal: Did it start the install script? [03:18] When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Is there some option in Ubuntu anywhere that regulates the transparency of windows? [03:19] hmm [03:19] WorkingOnWis1, sort of happy.... the first thing he did was go online, and I hadn't installed flash or any codecs ... ooops ... but I can't play this file on here either. [03:19] the external drive makes a thumping sound every 2-5 seconds, and I can only find info on how to check in windows [03:19] shpook: yes [03:19] WorkingOnWis1, I haven't the foggiest idea, I'll google it [03:19] there are 2 options [03:19] hi === Novacrust is now known as Crusty [03:19] got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ? [03:19] Is there a variable for the rownumber a function is on in Open Office Calc? [03:19] Abyssal: Okay, you're going to want option 2, Install as SANE backend. [03:19] standalone application or SANE backend [03:19] hendrixski: look into the mediubuntu repos for all the codecs he should need === Crusty is now known as Novacrust [03:19] ok [03:20] then ubuntu... [03:20] Abyssal: Yes. [03:20] hendrixski, What happens when you try to open it in totem? [03:20] wow, exact same problem as this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164985 [03:20] shpook: and then the installation was succesfully it says. [03:20] Jordan_U, it says there's not input plugin [03:21] Hey. Y'all know how Synaptic PM is now specifying certain pkg as 'local or obselete'? [03:21] Abyssal: Okay, now you're going to have to restart. [03:21] the whole computer? [03:21] Abyssal: No, just X. Just log out and log back in. [03:21] kristin: So the card shows up there? If you enable it, I think it should download the required firmware [03:22] kenro, I would think that means that it is a package which is not currently available in any of the repositories you have enabled [03:22] ok CU in a minute! [03:22] ok? [03:22] How can I capture the sound comming from my speakers? [03:22] Abyssal: Ok, I'll be here for about 10 more minutes. :-) [03:22] dissection, it did and i downloaded it, now it wants me to put it the firmware somewhere so it can be found [03:22] Like if I'm playing a movie and want to capture the sound. [03:22] * duct_tape slaps mans0n around a bit with a large trout [03:23] what's the successor of binary language? [03:23] Jordan_U: Ah, so don't take it for granted it isn't a necessary pkg... [03:23] At0mic_PC, That will be so much easier with pulseaudio in 8.04 [03:23] I used mount --bind on two directories. Now I cant umount the directory any ideas? [03:23] jacob_, binary isn't a language, it's a number base [03:23] anybody know how to install flash player in ubuntu 7.10? [03:23] crazedCrazed: you unmount both binded dirs? [03:23] thanks. [03:23] !flash | mans0n [03:23] mans0n: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:23] astro76 i meant to say machine language, or is there not? [03:23] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [03:23] crazedCrazed: can your force the umount? [03:24] hello again [03:24] crazedCrazed: if not reboot [03:24] ok [03:24] Thank you. :) [03:24] I'm thinking of switching to Ubuntu [03:24] dissection, i think actually i've got to choose to download it from the internet? is that for the drivers? [03:24] shpook: what now. i just logged out and reentered [03:24] Jordan_U: Will be? [03:24] ill try and force it [03:24] Jordan_U: I was asking a question, there... [03:24] * duct_tape pokes mans0n [03:24] But before I make the switch I have a couple of questions [03:24] got a question, i'd like to know how can I simulate a webcam on ubuntu to use msn messenger and send a video instead of a real webcam ? [03:25] is there anyway to generate a new uuid for a disk? [03:25] jacob_, this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [03:25] astro76 thanks [03:25] anyways [03:25] SHPOOK? [03:25] kenro, Yes, if it's not available in main then it probably isn't a "necessary" package [03:25] :) [03:25] L33tMasta, as away [03:25] ask* [03:25] I hate not remembering which nvidia driver I use === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [03:26] The main thing preventing me from switching is my games. Will I be able to play Crysis on Ubuntu? [03:26] how use a virtual webcam in ubuntu ? [03:26] rm-rf: afaict uuids aren't supposed to collide [03:26] hello shpook [03:26] Shpook, For the most part Restricted Manager should deal with that for you [03:26] initx: well, funny thing :) [03:26] rm-rf: not sure you can manually set it, doubt it.. and there's little reason [03:26] Jordan_U: It's asking me if I want to go ahead and de-install KDE and Gimp. [03:26] i cloned my / disk with acronis, but i'm leaving the old disk in the system [03:26] Abyssal: Hello Abyssal. Have you tried scanning something yet? [03:26] shpook: what can i do next? [03:27] rm-rf: so now the uuids are the same? [03:27] no. how? which programm shall i use. [03:27] Jordan_U: Restricted Manager always installs the wrong driver lol. [03:27] initx: yep [03:27] L33tMasta, I don't know at all but I doubt that you will be able to play crysis on Ubuntu for a while [03:27] sane? [03:27] Will my DirectX10 card be supported? [03:27] L33tMasta, probably, there's something called cedega which allows you to play windows games on Linux... if not, you can still dual boot and use windows for gaming and Linux for all of your serious stuff like office, web, programming, etc. [03:27] Abyssal: Yes, SANE. [03:27] rm-rf: let me see if there's a way to regenerate one. might be a real problem [03:27] any body know if vbox is compatible with vmware VM's? [03:27] When I opened Blender, it was suddenly nearly transparent (it's hard to impossible to read anything brighter then pure black, and you can hardly see any of the objects). Its not the transparency that's off (I can only make it even less visible that way), so any ideas? [03:27] Well I want to make a total switch [03:28] i was able to choose that new device but error occured while trying to open the device. [03:28] Neophos, Are you using compiz? [03:28] hp3900:libusb:005:004 [03:28] initx: thx [03:28] access denied. [03:28] kristin: So it doesn't yet say the driver is enabled? [03:28] L33tMasta, :-) just download it at ubuntu.com and burn an ISO. It's not like burning a regular CD, you need a program to burn disk images [03:28] PKdoR: Is vbox any good? [03:29] hendrixski: is it possible that wsx is just a wrapper for wmv? i would try to download one of these videos and change the extention to wmv and see if u can fake totem or firefox into playing it that way. [03:29] Well I know how do burn ISOs. I do it all from Windows Vista [03:29] dissection, it says that it is enabled [03:29] withNero [03:29] L33tMasta, then it's as easy as putting that CD in the drive and booting up, and then clicking "install" and in a half hour BANG, you've got a brand new operating system that knocks your socks off [03:29] Abyssal: This might be out of my range. Let me see if I can find anything on google. [03:29] ok. [03:29] But will it support my DX10 8800GTX [03:29] thank you for your help. [03:29] rm-rf: try vol_id --probe-all [03:29] PKdoR: vbox is a virtual machine, correct? [03:29] kenro: im trying to find out but it looks very promising [03:29] Because I heard DX10 is vista only [03:29] WorkingOnWis1, that's what I thought... but I can play wmv's on my computer... yet I can't play the wsx... which, I think you're right, is a wrapper of some sort [03:29] L33tMasta, If new DirectX games are important to you then you probably can't switch to Ubuntu ( or any other Linux distro ) at the moment [03:29] hendrixski: its winter time..his feet will get cold [03:29] Abyssal: No problem. [03:29] i am a new ubuntu user you see. i mean linux at all. [03:30] kenro: yes just like vmware [03:30] any mods here? [03:30] L33tMasta, Completely switch that is [03:30] LOLWUT [03:30] Jordan_U - Yes, or at least it's installed by default [03:30] Abyssal: It's okay, we were all new once. [03:30] Do any distros of Linux support DX10? [03:30] hendrixski: it is either a wrapper or some form of drm, in which case u are out of luck atm in Linux [03:30] i think games not working in linux/mac (with opengl) isnt worth playing :D [03:30] no forum mods? [03:30] Jordan_U - I couldn't change the transparency levels to less bright through that, though [03:31] Neophos, Try disabling it temporarily in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [03:31] initx: what output should i expect from that? [03:31] any body here use vbox? === dmb_ is now known as dmb [03:31] L33tMasta: Direct X is Vista only, but it has nothing to do with using it. It's just the software side. Your card will run well. [03:31] initx: i'm getting a usage error if i don't specify a device, but i'm not sure which device to specify [03:31] PKdoR: I'll hafta check that out. Looking for good vpn progs. [03:31] virtualbox? [03:31] WorkingOnWis1, yeah...most likely but how do I explain that to my dad... I can't find any literature online about it [03:32] can I se VMware VM images on vbox? [03:32] Jordan_U - Ah, that solved it. Thanks a lot! [03:32] hendrixski: does dads puter have the horsepower to run win2000 in virtualbox? [03:32] rm-rf: that's not it. try sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/device [03:32] Neophos: did you add a window matching rule to make your menus translucent? [03:32] Well I know it's software only, but everyone goes around saying Linux can play games I thought I might try it out [03:32] hendrixski: as for splainin it to dad...um...does the vid play in Windows Media Player? [03:33] rm-rf: where device is one you want to change [03:33] Neophos, You should still be able to use Blender with compiz, just ask in ##compiz now that you know that is where the problem is [03:33] WorkingOnWis1, it's dual booting... but the brand new wireless card I got him is acting up [03:33] crdlb - None that I know off [03:33] hendrixski: in windows or ubuntu or both? [03:33] Neophos: do you have ccsm installed? (Advanced Desktop Effects Settings) [03:33] have a question about raiding in ubuntu [03:34] Jordan_U - I was able to use Blender a few days ago with compiz still active, but well, I'm not really bothered by having it turned off, so if it fixes the problem, I'm content [03:34] hendrixski: what kind of wireless card? [03:34] WorkingOnWis1, in windows... ironically. It works in Ubuntu with no problem, he somehow can't get it to connect on Windows. [03:34] initx: tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc [03:34] L33tMasta: wine/cedega is just trying to cheat the games that openGL is DirectX, and makes some modifications in runtime. Beside it does have support for direct x, especially cedega, but for 10 it's still not that great. In general, at least 50% of games will run. [03:34] whats it mean if it says upgrade version 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1 to 0.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1? [03:34] crdlb - Nope, don't think so [03:34] its like a infinite upgrade [03:34] Neophos: lots of times that's been the suggestion for fixing something, but it's never worked for me [03:34] !alien [03:34] 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) [03:34] Abyssal: I'm sorry, I can't seem to find anything, and my time has run out. [03:34] hendrixski: i love those problems, but they are the exception... [03:34] Forbr4d3, Belking wireless-g... but I don't care about the card. it works in Ubuntu, if it doesn't work in Windows, whatever he'll use Ubuntu instead.... and we're better off [03:35] shpook. ok. thank you for your help anyway. [03:35] WorkingOnWis1, lol, yeah. [03:35] bye. cu [03:35] Where does wine keep its DLL files? [03:35] Can someone help Abyssal get his HP scanner working through SANE, if they have the time? [03:35] hendrixski: download the drivers off thier website [03:35] hendrixski: can he run windows in virtualbox? [03:35] rm-rf: i believe each partition has a uuid [03:35] cabrioleur: Is that 50 % of a game, or half the games? [03:35] magic_ninja: funny, apt has nothing to do with rpms or _deb_s. Ubotu is wrong :-) [03:36] rm-rf: so youd do for instance tune2fs -U random /dev/sdc1 [03:36] I'm having trouble making my pvr150 work in gutsy [03:36] initx: ah, ok. one sec [03:36] WorkingOnWis1, he can... but I doubt he wants to install windows if he's already dual booting... that takes like 3 hours [03:36] hendrixski: do you have native ubuntu drivers or are you using ndis wrapper? [03:36] Abyssal: You're welcome, sorry I can't see you through to the end. Good luck. [03:36] kenro: 50% will run well, others so so, and some at all. [03:36] 3 hours? [03:36] Where does wine keep its DLL files? [03:36] Forbr4d3, native. it just worked out of the box :-) very sweet if you ask me [03:36] hendrixski: Glad your dad's computer is working. Take care. [03:36] rm-rf: I now doubled my hard disk space with a 4gb flash drive, had to mess with uuid and stuff today [03:36] Bye everyone. [03:36] Shpook, yup, now if only those wsx files cooperated [03:36] later [03:36] hendrixski: good [03:37] I need to get my realtek wireless card (rtl8185L) to work at boot what should I do [03:37] initx: nice [03:37] cabrioleur: Coz in truth, I've only ever got 50% of any one game to run. Might be that I had an older compile... [03:37] initx: when i run that command, it comes back with the tune2fs version. did it now create a new uuid for me? [03:37] I have to run two of the scripts that come with the driver to get it going after a reboot [03:37] hendrixski: windows in a vm would eliminate the need to dual boot, and there is a way to boot the native install in virtualbox, but it is wayyy geek sheek... I did it for a while till i wiped everything and installed ubuntu only, and windows as just a vm. [03:37] need some help with setting up raid in ubuntu, anyone have any knowledge to spare? ;d [03:37] rm-rf: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [03:38] wow im an idiot [03:38] !raid | disasterpiece [03:38] disasterpiece: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:38] kenro: check the game status on wine website. Sometimes you will have to modify the setup a little bit in order to run the game. [03:38] fucked up my sudoers [03:38] rm-rf: if one's the same, it did nothing. otherwise all's good [03:38] initx: no love, it's still the same uuid [03:38] hendrixski: but if he can, that will solve his wifi problem and wsx problem [03:38] rromanchuk: man sudoers [03:38] hello. the process "ksoftirqd" is consuming between 20-25% of cpu. why? [03:38] could i possible call the disk out in grub with root=/dev/sdc1, instead of root=UUID? [03:39] nevoeiro: a bug :-) [03:39] :( [03:39] cabrioleur: its a access problem now, should i boot recovery for root? [03:39] WorkingOnWis1, that's true... or I guess he can set up VMware to run his windows partition as a virtual machine [03:39] yes ubotu, I followed the directions 5. but it still doesn't see the drives as stipped when i install. i'm completely new to this by the way [03:39] rm-rf: does it also give the bad magic number error? [03:39] cabrioleur: Anyone still providing the cedega src for free? Or, God forbid, is a gpl bnary available? [03:39] how to have /etc/init.d/dnsmasq_tor executed right after S15dnsmasq and S20tor ? [03:39] cabri: and when it is preditected a fix?... [03:39] initx: no [03:39] perhaps i am doing something wrong? [03:40] rromanchuk: you can do it this way, and remount in rw, or you can fix it from the live CD. [03:40] initx: did you see my other query above? [03:40] WorkingOnWis1, anyways. Thanks for the help. I'm gonna poke around at the wsx thing a little bit more, and then we'll have him totally transitioned to Ubuntu... so then he won't care if he can't get the wireless to work on windows. [03:40] rm-rf: the drive is unmounted, right? [03:40] disasterpiece, Are you setting up a new Array or do you need to read one which has already been setup? [03:40] hendrixski: never used vmware, but that should work. I love getting ppl off windows, even if it means dogging out ubuntu to run windows ocasionally :) [03:40] kenro: they do have cedega src, but compilation is a pain (never succeeded in debian/ubuntu) [03:40] cabrioleur: thx [03:40] rm-rf: yes, but wanted to know if the one returning just the version number threw an error [03:40] <|_James_Bond_|> HI PPL [03:40] cabrioleur: and when it is preditected a fix?...

[04:11] How do i set it up? [04:11] Sepheebear, initx: that makes sense [04:11] rm-rf: nothing MUST be listed by uuid [04:11] katharos, for the love of god....please do a walk through....i can usually do this... [04:11] rm-rf: swap can be declared both ways [04:12] hmm... anybody know potential reasons why ubu isn't detecting my external HDD?

[04:37] a couple of the pins were bent on the processor so i had to try to bend them back...could that be the prob?? [04:37] <_fuujin_> =O [04:37] would some one mind looking at this post i made and tell me if i did the subnetting correctly ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/subnet-question-609721/ [04:37] jack-desktop: sorry [04:38] Jack_Sparrow: ^^^^^^^ [04:38] dan2: not if it boot to the start or install menu [04:38] dirkg3nt1y, thank you. :) [04:38] dan2: ;p [04:39] ewwww [04:39] dan2: assuming you have more than 256 megs you may end up using the alternate install cd [04:39] Jack_Sparrow: I got 2G of ram in here [04:39] no one, [04:39] ok what script starts iptables ? [04:39] dan2: that was for johnny [04:39] extracted, i don't know much about subnetting but cant you try it out and see what happens? [04:39] extracted . sum1 will look [04:39] or rather loads the rules ? [04:39] intelikey: i think the kernel === crd1b is now known as crdlb [04:40] gotta run... goodnight all. [04:40] be well Jack_Sparrow \ [04:40] but iptables-restore pulls bck in the rules [04:40] Jack_Sparrow: so how do I boot to the install menu [04:40] I use the alternate install regardless, even though some people say it's a bit slower [04:40] i am sure i am doing it wrong because the ending address is 263 wich is over the range but idk. [04:40] k [04:40] KlrSpz ok so i'll have to add that to rc.local or something i guess [04:40] right === Riotblade is now known as Riot|AFK [04:40] dan2: if you dont get to start or install do you get any error.. often you need to verify the md5 or burn very slowly. [04:41] vmware is the shit. [04:41] ack, wrong channel [04:41] hello is anyone there?? [04:41] ok [04:42] guest_: What's up? [04:42] so can anyone get pokerTH to work? I get errors about missing libraries [04:42] Hi Onyx, just trying to get my texas hold 'em fix [04:42] guest_: Did you install it via synaptic? [04:42] intelikey: unless you really have good reason to get deep into iptables, you might want to check out something like firehol that generates rules and helps you load them up at boot [04:43] no Onyx, it's a non-standard package. I downloaded a linux installer [04:43] is there a newer list than this? http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html [04:43] anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install? [04:43] intelikey: aptitude show firehol [04:43] intelikey: also too, I saw a good guide at the arch linux wiki [04:43] anyone know how to use gconfig-editor to change the main menu icon? [04:43] guest_: It's in synaptic... [04:43] Hi [04:43] guest_: Try to give that method a shot first as it'll get all your dependencies and stuff for you. [04:43] Onyx, oh, ok. So I should be able to do "sudo apt-get install pokerTH"? [04:44] Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume? [04:44] extracted, I wish i could help you, but i have no idea. don't suppose you know stuff about installing video capture drivers? [04:44] guest_: pokerth [04:44] intelikey: oh and the closest thing in ubuntu to chkconfig is update-rc.d [04:44] not really :( [04:44] Onyx: says it couldn't find it. I'm on 6/04 LTS I think, maybe it's too old-school [04:44] hi, i wonder how can prevent 1 user to change his password? it's possible or not? I think no but any idea? please [04:45] guest_: The application list should be universal though? [04:45] kaper you could try to put him in his own group that can't access the command? [04:45] Why not update your system anyhow? [04:45] howdy all [04:45] Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume? [04:45] anyone get quake4 demo loaded in ubuntu? [04:45] Onyx I'm too scared to update - one previous distro it didn't work [04:45] screwed my system up real bad [04:45] intelikey, network manager can also load your iptables [04:45] how do you turn off IPv6? [04:45] guest_: Ahh, well... gutsy is pretty nice :) [04:45] intelikey, there is a wiki entry also... [04:46] so would the pins b a prob? [04:46] guest, thanks. other way to do this? [04:46] anyone? is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware and install drivers for it like it does on a clean install? [04:46] ok Onyx. I'll give this synaptic thing a go. I always feel decadent when I leave the command line [04:46] exit [04:46] intelikey: oh yeah https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [04:47] guest_, gutsy really is nice. Just dont forget to uninstall/clean easyubuntu and other possible customizations first [04:47] guest_: heh, I know what you're talking about. I used Slackware from Slackware 7 to Slackware 10. [04:47] katharos: what hardware are you trying to setup? [04:47] wow [04:47] xubuntu looks slick [04:47] kaper I think you can prevent a user from chpass by editing /etc/pam.d/login' [04:47] dan2: <3 xubuntu [04:47] ploom what's easyubuntu? [04:47] way lighter than gnome [04:47] gnome blows [04:47] The hoops you have to jump through just to get a sound from a movie as a ringtone lol [04:47] I prefer kde over gnome any day of the week [04:47] i use enlightenment [04:47] ugh, i hate both [04:47] I'll take xfce over gnome too [04:47] xfce ftw [04:47] guest_, do not worry in case you do not know. default installation of ubuntu upgrades just fine [04:47] lol Atomic_p1, I want to do that too, with some anchor man quotes [04:48] Sepheebear, a tv tuner card [04:48] which package do i need for gnutls/openssl.h ? [04:48] ok ploom, one of these days I'll backup my system and upgrade. [04:48] guest_: I'm doing supertroopers. [04:48] I find the only thing in xfce thats really lighter is thunar [04:48] "I am all that is man!" [04:48] guest_, you can beat me in case it does not end up well [04:48] ok ploom [04:48] katharos: what kind? there might/might not be a driver for it [04:48] Sepheebear, i've used it before and it was all set up when i installed ubuntu, this time i added the card after installing and i don't have a /dev/video0 [04:49] ok, so im learning about john the ripper and was wondering how would i encrypt a password, and what software should i use [04:49] Sepheebear, there must be a driver and it must work under gutsy, as i have used it before [04:49] KlrSpz,Sepheebear: what packages get saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/? eg I dont want nvtune being installed on an ati system. === Torrent is now known as dissection [04:49] so... xubuntu is ubuntu for old computers? [04:49] i LOVE vnc! [04:50] xubuntu is ubuntu for people who don't want gnome bloat [04:50] tuntun: all packages you download [04:50] someone is connected to my wireless router even though i dont know them. i have security enable....i want to do something to them. any ideas? [04:50] tuntun: any package you install is saved there until you delete it [04:50] RevTom, yes, and for people who don't enjoy simplicity ;) [04:50] Rattts ¬¬ [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] 6¬ [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] RevTom: not just old computers but computers that are a little on the slow side [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] !ops [04:50] ¬¬ [04:50] Rattts: you can totally fuck with them by using ettercap [04:50] ok onyx I searched for pokerth in synaptic. It has come up. But now I can't seem to actually do anything. I'm running as root... [04:50] lovely [04:50] dan2, xubuntu runs just fine on modern hardware also [04:50] RevTom: xubuntu is ubuntu with the XFCE desktop environment. some say it's lighter. i beg to differ. your milage may vary. [04:50] Rattts: dearp them [04:50] CONNECTED: ... [04:50] ?? [04:50] Sepheebear, It's a Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture Card [04:50] who don't enjoy simplicity, or who do? [04:50] Help!

[04:51] oh i see [04:51] katharos, i just used an 878 chipset card [04:51] onyx, I thought i had to to install it? I mean with sudo [04:51] hatter_, yeah, i've used it before and it works fine [04:51] unravel: on a fresh install we're talking ~200mb of ram used for ubuntu vs ~40mb of ram used for xubuntu.. i think the difference is obvious [04:51] thank crushin_ it's not easy === tritium_ is now known as tritium [04:51] mine is working on gutsy [04:51] as i illustrated today to a co-worker [04:51] guest_: Yeah, thought you meant you were logged in as root... [04:51] kaper I can post a thread that may help you if you like [04:51] i use tvtime to test it [04:51] hatter_: i got my masquerading figured out [04:52] KlrSpz, ah, good job [04:52] so i've had ubuntu installed on the system i set up to watch videos for a couple of days now, and i'm wondering if i should just switch to xp... [04:52] I am curious how could I make it so this is not possible: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html [04:52] KlrSpz hmmm so this script iptables-save and iptables-restore read and write to stdout only ? [04:52] hatter_, the only difference between now and when i used it before, is that it's on a new motherboard and i added the card after i installed gusty instead of before [04:52] hatter_: seemed that i actually had to set my gateway/dns to the external LAN gateway, which is odd sine i used different subnets [04:52] crushin_, no no think i just wonder because someone ask me this question. After i google i can't get the result [04:52] stdin/stdout ^ [04:52] intelikey: yes, you can dump it to a file and read it back in on boot [04:52] thanks* [04:52] KlrSpz: the difference isnt obvious, the difference is relative. [04:52] katharos, shoudnlt matter [04:52] lspci shows it ? [04:53] KlrSpz,Sepheebear: hmm, why insn't nvclock there? [04:53] hatter_, yep [04:53] hatter_: but other than that, apparently i've had the right things in there a while [04:53] it's not working w/ my live! card for 5.1, doesn't recognize my bt dongle and i can't seem to find anything that will tell me which cheap dongle to buy [04:53] ls -Ral /dev/video* [04:53] DragonSpirit, you can give grub a password, I'd suggest the bios password instead. If someone has access to your machine, your disks are an open book [04:53] tuntun: in where? [04:53] ok onyx, pokerth definitely isn't on the list. It just came up on the left cause that's what I searched for. [04:53] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything [04:53] damn. [04:53] KlrSpz yeah but is there not a default settings file any place ? [04:53] no, by default there are no rules [04:53] KlrSpz: /var/cache/apt/archives [04:53] k [04:53] hatter_, No such file or directory [04:53] Onyx if I'm on 6.04, can I go straight to gutsy? Or do I have to upgrade through every distro first? [04:54] errr actually it default accept all [04:54] guest_: the pokerth documentation should tell the libraries that are needed [04:54] katharos, with the * at the end ? [04:54] kind of a pain [04:54] hatter_, yep [04:54] guest_, thru every release; if you wait til april, you should be able to go to 8.04 directly [04:54] nickrud, thanks, I had a feeling it would be easy to get into anything with physical access, just wondered if I could have grub show no options, not even the esc to get to the menu option [04:54] ok nuckrud, maybe i'll do that [04:54] tuntun: if you have installed it since your last cache clean then it should be there.. otherwise not sure? [04:54] have you tried removing the card rebooting, then adding the card again ? [04:55] dirkg3ntly it just said i need libsdl/libsdlmixer. I tried to install those and couldn't find. [04:55] hatter_, no, i guess i try that now [04:55] (after not having the card in) [04:55] guest_, I take it you have slow bandwidth? If not, why not just get the gutsy release and reinstall? [04:55] i am unsure if /dev/video0 should be generated automatically [04:55] hatter_, brb [04:55] guest_: those are in synaptiv for sure [04:55] KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache? [04:55] nickrud, I'm too lazy to back up all my home directories [04:55] okay so let's talk wireless. boo. hiss. [04:55] apt-cache clean [04:55] hatter_, oh, [04:55] Is it possible to make the volume up/down hotkeys adjust PCM volume instead of front volume? [04:55] guest_, heh. I have an external, just drag and drop /home/ to it every few days [04:55] anybody else have a old 3dfx card? im running gusty, but if i do glxinfo X tottally crashes [04:56] katharos, i am pretty sure mine was created automatically [04:56] I'm also on wireless broadband, I get one gig/month [04:56] alright I'm getting annoyed I've been trying to change the permissions and ownership of a directory in MY home folder from root to me. I've tried sudo chown -R myuser:myuser ~/thefolder && sudo chmod 664 ~/thefolder but when I ls -l ~/thefolder it shows ?'s but if I sudo ls -l it shows the owner has changed but none of the permissions and I have no access [04:56] bundagan, ran one for years [04:56] what am I doing wrong? [04:56] i use more than a gig a month just on my cell data plan [04:56] xall - look in the sound control... panel in System > Preferences [04:56] hatter_, well i'll try taking it out and adding it again [04:56] katharos: here's a link i used to get mines working http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/aideUS/htmlpage/TVCardall.htm [04:56] kaper >> http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2001/09/27/pamintro.html?page=2 << take a look here [04:56] katharos, reboot without the card [04:57] !ntfs [04:57] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:57] oh lawd. ebay, why must you hate me so. [04:57] nickrud, but you haven't tried yet with gusty? [04:57] katharos: IIRC /dev/video0 gets created after you modprobe bttv and bt878 [04:58] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything [04:58] synaptic is hard to use [04:58] theshadow: have you read this guide? http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html [04:58] bundagan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Voodoo3doesnotdo3d will set you up. tdfx hasn't changed in years, stll works [04:58] KlrSpz: when/what cleans the cache? [04:58] bundagan, I have helped several on gutsy though [04:58] Hi there [04:58] /set -i guest_ [04:58] dirkg3nt1y, thanks a lot :) [04:58] Sepheebear, I tried something similar and it hung on reboot and i had to use a live CD to change it back [04:58] That did the trick [04:58] thank, crushin_ very useful information thank you [04:58] is there a quick fix for compiz fusion with ati cards? [04:59] I'm having trouble using quemu to run ubuntu 64, can anybody help?

[04:59] lemme check.. [04:59] i am quite sure there is no autoclean [04:59] yes [04:59] have problems with cdrecord. It seems to burn cds but actually it doesn't burn anything [04:59] phreck, fglrxinfo , paste *only* the last line here [04:59] hatter_, Sepheebear, thanx guys I will try both ideas [04:59] nickrud, thanks, thats what i needed to know [04:59] 15593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3118.470 FPS [04:59] 15175 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3034.884 FPS [05:00] chawklit rayne XD [05:00] OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) [05:00] phreck, that here doesn't tell me what I need to know [05:00] Great...

[05:00] thats the last line [05:00] bbiaf, have some things to tend to [05:01] stupid bluetooth [05:01] phreck, but that does :) sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald .

[05:01] hi, im new to ubuntu,, and wanted to instal newest amn but have to compile, does anyknow know how pls/ === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [05:01] so a line like cat /etc/iptables.rules | iptables-restore in the /etc/rc.local is sufficient ?

[05:02] cheers idleone [05:02] i just keep hoping nickrud that they will =P [05:02] nickrud, what do you mean they don't work? [05:02] phreck, to disable fglrx, just uninstall xserver-xgl. To enable, reinstall it. Play games inbetwen [05:02] they dont work "well" [05:03] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas? [05:03] DragonSpirit, most opengl games doesn't play nice with compiz [05:03] nickrud: Ill just have two seperate sessions for gaming and xgl [05:04] does anybody here have a lot of experience with qemu? [05:05] did anybody notice that when installing ubuntu from the livecd, the installer window can not be resized, it was a problem for me because my card was only supporting 800x600, the 'ok' 'cancel' and 'next' buttons on the bottom were clipped, i had to hack my way thru by using the tab key. [05:05] bundagan, it happens when the live cd's X configurator can't determine what video card to use. Happens some [05:06] could someone that knows iptables have a look at http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7 for me ? [05:07] is there an mp3gain program for ubuntu? [05:07] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas? [05:07] bundagan obviously you don't know xorg very well. you can alt+leftclick drag the window anywhere you want it. [05:08] intelikey, but not above the top of the screen ;( [05:08] I hate metacity's use of that [05:08] bundagan try it, right out in the middle of a window grab it and push it up [05:08] Why ubuntu installer insists on telling me that cd is defective if it is not??? [05:08] it stops installing on about 26 % [05:08] does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up? [05:08] nickrud oh metacity won't let you ? [05:09] intelikey, no it doesn't. I like havoc's work, but I think that decision was a mistake [05:09] nickrud indeed. [05:09] alright again. the only way I can access a folder in my home directory is to sudo ls -l or sudo it to do anything. But the sudo ls -l shows that I am the owner of that directory and all sub folders. What gives? [05:09] nickrud i didn't know that. not a gnome user [05:10] intelikey, that's ok, I'll still treat you ok [05:10] bundagan my mistake. metacity doesn't allow that. [05:10] Hey do I need the alternate ubuntu installer to install onto software raid arrays from the installer? [05:10] nickrud while we're at it would check http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1671f7e7 for me please [05:11] someone anyone? [05:11] Anyone installed onto a RAID0 setup (2 disks) from the livecd? [05:11] !raid | Pengo-lx [05:11] Pengo-lx: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:12] Pengo-lx: I've heard you need something like dmraid; look up fakeraid [05:12] ok, did they change the menus for config of the cube? [05:12] intelikey, I understand the flushing, but that's it for me on iptables. When I wanted to do anything with that, I used shorewall. Easier for my shrinking brain cells [05:12] what i found on the net says to stay away from fakeraid and just use softwareraid [05:12] Pengo-lx, I've heard people I trust say that here as well [05:13] nickrud ok. don't see anything wrong with syntax or command usage do you ? [05:13] meh, nm i drank too many beers. [05:13] hi all [05:13] the damn livecd installer doesn't see my raid partition after i've set it up with mdadm [05:13] intelikey, seriously, I do not know iptables. Sorry [05:14] ok. thanks. :) [05:14] Pengo-lx, I believe you need the alternate install for software raid [05:14] ive just had ubuntu server installed for me on my co-located server by our hosting techs [05:14] damn [05:14] i got no blanks too [05:14] intelikey, iirc, with shorwall I just dropped a forward directive into a config file, and was done [05:14] does anyone know of an image viewer that can display animated GIFs without speeding it up? [05:14] and i burnt the livecd onto my last blank [05:14] well that sucks [05:14] i wanted the LAMP server, but they gave me an empty box, is there a way to quickly get the LAMP installed? [05:15] guess i'll just install it for now on one of my disks and then wipe when i get more blanks on monday [05:15] !lamp | fotoflo [05:15] fotoflo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:15] nickrud ok. that short howto was for cli use i.e. shorewall might not be an option. [05:16] intelikey, true. However, it is in main so ubuntu thinks highly of it.

[05:19] thanks nickrud :-) [05:19] no, you get the themes and put them in your home directory. The sites have instructions iirc [05:19] nickrud: I did it on purpose because I was hoping for a fresh config file (thinking I've ruined my old one) [05:19] phreck, don't you see any themes in the emerald theme manager? [05:19] nah [05:19] none [05:19] hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating [05:19] any idea? [05:19] i need to install the emerald-themes package [05:20] dont think i have the repo for it though [05:20] How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD? [05:20] err for some reason, my apt-get is not working [05:20] pteague I have downloaded ubuntu 7.10 appliance, I get config file was created by vmware product with more features that this version [05:20] I'm online only thru the live cd [05:20] that error [05:20] phreck, heh. Thanks for the pointer, somehow I've missed that package all this time [05:20] yeh [05:20] heh [05:20] Hey, how can I test to see that there is nothing wrong with my installed nvidia drivers? I notice my 7600GT definitely doesn't match up to performance while in linux vs. while in windows [05:20] can anyone help me get apt-get working? [05:21] nickrud: I dont know where the package is though, ive forgotten [05:21] man apt-get [05:21] I did the purge/install for samba again but it still didn't put a fresh smb.conf in /etc/samba, nor did it create the folder [05:21] phreck, just find it in synaptic [05:21] samsinite: Package lynx has no installation candidate [05:21] its not there [05:21] rredd4> no idea... i started off by installing ubuntu-server [05:21] nothing has isntallation candidates [05:22] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas? [05:22] homercycles, weird. do sudo dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/samba [05:22] pteaque i just downloaded 1.0.4, can't get appliance to work [05:22] mjancaitis: mail it to me, i will mount it for you ;-P [05:23] nickrud: i only have he engine and the runtime in my repos [05:23] fotoflo, system->admin->software sources , enable the first four sources, disable the cd [05:23] nickrud: in server, no gui [05:23] fotoflo: don't you wish, this thing is schweet.... if it works :) [05:23] is there anyway to see if my nvidia drivers are working correctly? my desktop 7600GT seems to run like poop [05:23] mjancaitis: sounds sweet [05:23] phreck, neither do I. It's mentioned by another package, but doesn't exist. [05:24] fotoflo, you need to enable some software sources. go to the link I'm about to give, and get a fresh one there. [05:24] !sourceomatic [05:24] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [05:24] nickrud: did that and the final line now says invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed. [05:24] nickrud: i know, my sources look enabled [05:25] nickrud: making a pastebin [05:25] nickrud: thanks for your help. I think I'll just go back into Windows. You have plenty of other people to help by the looks of things :-) [05:25] fotoflo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lynx . If that doesn't work, your sources aren't completely enabled [05:25] homercycles, that is very strange, samba not restarting. Is /etc/samba still missing? [05:26] nickrud: yep, still missing [05:26] nickrud: nickrud: making a pastebin [05:26] rredd4> i'm not sure then... i was having issues getting both server & jeos installed & then i set up vmware to reserve the disk space (rather than growing) & they seemed to work [05:26] weird question: how does the magnet write to the metal HD? i know it gives it some sort of charge... cna anyone elaborate? [05:26] err [05:26] nickrud: http://www.pastebin.ca/836076 [05:26] nickrud: I tried re-creating the directory then running your --confmiss thingy again but it still didn't recreate the file [05:26] How might I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD? [05:26] then again i've not done any gui except windows under vmware [05:27] what graphical tool do i use to format a new disk in ubuntu? [05:27] anyone? [05:27] hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating [05:27] sidewalk: gparted can help you [05:28] fotoflo, there's something wrong with your repos themselves, then. Thats a good looking source, you're right. Try removing the cn. from the lines, then update and try again [05:28] mjancaitis: cant he use fdisk? === AzMoo_ is now known as AzMoo [05:28] nickrud: we in china [05:28] jarrod_: fdisk isn't graphical, is it? [05:28] nickrud: I found an smb.conf in /usr/share/samba so I copied it into /etc/samba then did your --force-confmiss thingy again to reinstall samba and now the daemon is starting [05:28] nickrud: i just used the source-o-matic, and still no luck [05:28] anyone? [05:28] E: Couldn't find package apache2 [05:28] mjancaitis: oh sorry i diddnt see that [05:29] homercycles, good troubleshooting. [05:29] mjancaitis: tnx [05:29] AHAH [05:29] apt-get update1 [05:29] !!! [05:29] forgot to do that [05:29] fotoflo, didn't I mention it, twice :) [05:29] burn [05:29] nickrud: you did?? [05:29] pteaque i guess i am not so lucky... i am going to have to download the live cd. I didn't want to, as its slow and the new user will have to reboot to use it [05:29] ack [05:29] nickrud: I've dabbled in Linux over the years so I had a suspicion a starter smb.conf might be in there... I don't know all these dpkg command-lines, though :-) Thanks for your help [05:30] nickrud: hah, i am using two monitors and working on 4 projects... [05:30] man I hate this, but it looks like there is no way around it...I have to install windows in vmware or something I guess......@#@#(!&$*#$*#$&@$@!$@!$ [05:30] nickrud: sorry to waste your time like that [05:30] does vmware work for ubuntu [05:30] fotoflo, np, you got a lot on your desk it got lost in the flow like much [05:30] is there any better tool than gparted? [05:30] nickrud: should i keep the sources.list i had before, or use the newly generated s-o-matic ? [05:31] nickrud: think it matters? [05:31] fotoflo, try the cn again they may be faster. I'd choose the fastest [05:31] believe it or not, I need it to run some tivo apps...LOL ;) [05:31] the s-o-matic is also cn [05:31] its slow though [05:31] 20k/s [05:32] maybe theres a taiwan or japan... ill check [05:32] roy_t: If the GUI fails to load and you are unable to access the system menu then you should try the instructions below. [05:32] 1. first reboot your computer into maintenance mode/recovery mode. [05:32] 2. open /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom by entering the following command [05:32] sudo vim /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom [05:32] 3. press i to enter into insert mode. Locate the following line and comment it by inserting a # in front of the line. [05:32] GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener [05:32] 4. press the Esc key and then type in :wq to save and quit the editor. [05:32] 5. type sudo init 6 to rebootthat should fix the problem.I am using gutsy tribe 5 and looks like this problem has been present in Ubuntu ever since dapper hope they fix it before gutsy gets released. [05:32] ouch...vmware is expensive now...!!!! [05:32] I started to upgrade to Hardy, but my computer froze and now I can log in to a shell but nothing else. No sudo. [05:32] Any suggestions? [05:32] r00723r0: #ubuntu+1 [05:32] what's the command to change resolutions in X [05:33] ctrl+shift+-? [05:33] riotkittie: Already there. [05:33] taiwan is even slower [05:33] dan2: xrandr ? [05:33] k [05:33] r00723r0, reinstall [05:33] tivo desktop really only works under windows and only converts .tivo to mpeg4 via windows media....YUCK!!!! [05:33] nickrud: Are you sure that's my best choice? [05:33] any work arounds? [05:34] r00723r0: if you're using hardy, you should be prepared to. [05:34] roy_t: (from google"The greeter application appears to be crashing">http://liltux.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/how-to-fix-the-error-the-greeter-application-appears-to-be-crashing-in-ubuntu/ [05:34] riotkittie: I never used Hardy. [05:34] r00723r0, you probably borked something major. Unless you plan on writing code for hardy, there's no point until maybe feb to be running it. [05:34] you started to upgrade to it. therefore, you are using it. [05:34] i tried to move a notepad file i made in xp aka "wendy" to ubuntu aka "lenny" and rename it to a .html, but it is now .doc.html [05:34] hardy rocks [05:34] When i plug a jump drive, that wasn't 'safely removed' from a windows machine, into my ubuntu box it always has trouble mounting the drive. is there a way i can remedy the situation when i don't have access to a windows machine [05:35] XP = wendy? :) [05:35] What? [05:35] how would I allow myself to mount network samba drives without having to input a password? I'm trying to script something [05:35] r00723r0, you probably chose to upgrade right when the upgrade path was broken. [05:35] anyone here use VMWare? [05:35] upgrading to it at this point... from a stable release is crazy. [05:35] KiD_ChAoS: plug it back in and saftly remove [05:35] nickrud: Anything I can do to get sudo working? [05:36] jarrod__, i just said when i DONT have access to a windows machine [05:36] r00723r0: edit sudoers [05:36] cabrioleur: ... [05:36] cabrioleur: how's he supposed to edit sudoers when he cant use the sudo command? [05:36] do you know what i should add to sudoers or RTFM? [05:36] KiD_ChAoS: okay, i forget the cmd for a force mount but you can do that possibly [05:36] i suppose booting into recov mode might help... but [05:36] riotkittie: login in livecd, mount the drive, and edit from there. [05:36] whatever's borked is probably borked beyond the point he'll be able to repair it. [05:37] How can I set apt-get to keep only the latest updates for use with APTonCD? [05:37] jarrod__, yeah i saw that but it never comes out right. i was thinking there might be a fix for Ubuntu that will do a force mount if necessary to mount the drive correctly [05:38] jarrod__, have you heard of something like this [05:38] jarrod__, it would be doing the same thing windows does, if the drive was last removed incorrectly windows doesn't care but Ubuntu does and it's annoying [05:39] i've seen windows care about that plenty of times. mmm. corrupted data. [05:39] KiD_ChAoS: i had this problem with a seagate external HD. try googing your error it could be different for your dev [05:39] Hi kids. Just need advice on how to mount a 16 gig NTFS flash drive if it never shows up in gparted or fdisk or anything; ideas? [05:39] mjancaitis, the drive is unallocated [05:40] jarrod__, i have a few devices i thought there might be a quick fix thanx though [05:40] KiD_ChAoS: use fsck to fix problems. [05:40] KiD_ChAoS: fixable? [05:40] Can somebody help me with an ntfs driver question? [05:40] if it was unallocated, wouldnt it at least show in gparted? [05:40] spaxman: shoot [05:40] yeah mjancaitis i know how to fix it in a windows box but im pretty new to Ubuntu [05:41] KiD_ChAoS: only quick fix is to make sure the drive is removed next time [05:41] cabrioleur, fsck from command line? [05:41] jarrod__, thanx [05:41] how can i make ubuntu recognize my video card? [05:41] RaNdY, what kind of video card? [05:41] I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and the NTFS functionality appears to work pretty well. [05:41] Randy_: what is your video card? [05:41] anyone here run vmware on ubuntu? [05:42] javatexan: I'm running it [05:42] * nickrud raises his hand, hesitantly [05:42] KiD_ChAoS: sure. You can use ntfsfix /dev/sdxx if it's ntfs [05:42] with XP? [05:42] Hello. Im a noob to linux. Does anyone know of a program that monitors system temperatures? [05:42] javatexan: Yup [05:42] However, I was using eclipse ide and opened a project that existed on my windows XP ntfs partition [05:42] and drops it thankfully [05:42] hi [05:42] i have a nvidia [05:42] geforce [05:42] it created a folder named "C:" on my NTFS file system. [05:42] Onyx: are you using Windows on it...I need XP, I think [05:43] cabrioleur, xx being my drive like sda1? [05:43] javatexan: Yes... [05:43] KiD_ChAoS: yes [05:43] Onyx: does it work okay or does it hopelessly drag the system down? [05:43] javatexan: Works just fine for me (running it now) [05:43] anybody got an app that reads cpu temperature and etc? [05:44] Onyx: awesome....wow do you know of a coupon for vmware...LOL [05:44] !lamp |me [05:44] me: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:44] hey do u guys know what program there is on linux to list all your hardware devices? [05:44] sorta like device manager in windows [05:44] spaxman: is the naming convention a problem? [05:44] javatexan: there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors [05:44] javatexan: see pm [05:44] cabrioleur, thanx [05:45] It is when I try to work with that directory under WinXPPro [05:45] spaxman: no panic. Just rename the directory... [05:45] APP THAT READS CPU TEMPERATURE? [05:45] "C:" is not really a legal name for a file or folder on an NTFS file system is it? [05:45] !JEOS [05:45] anyone knows how to make ubuntu recognize video card? [05:45] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. [05:46] spaxman, you can rename it , use C\: (the backslash escapes the : , so you can change it) [05:46] spaxman: no, but still you can rename it from linux. [05:46] ubuntu handles it fine, but Windows chokes on it. [05:46] douche... [05:46] hey i'm trying to play a dvd in mplayer and i keep getting this error "error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device." what should i do? [05:46] javatexan: Or not? [05:47] can anyone see what I am typing? [05:47] spaxman: it's because special characters mean something for the system, not the fs. So yes, you can have some characters on ntfs, but windows itself will interpret them different way. [05:47] Onyx: I responded...did you get it [05:47] lollydays, try mplayer -vo x11 [05:47] l === puertorro is now known as prdude [05:47] I can rename the directory, or even delete it from ubuntu, so I have already taken care of the "symptom" of the problem [05:48] I'm wondering if my problem indicates a possible bug in the ntfs file system driver in ubuntu [05:48] prdude: 1 - there are applets in gdesklets and adesklets that will do it. alternatively, load up Synaptic and search for sensors. 2 - behave. [05:48] anybody know of an app that monitors hardware temperatures? [05:48] oh ok. thanks [05:48] sorry [05:48] spaxman, sounds more like either eclipse or user [05:48] I don't think it should even allow a directory with an illegal name to be created. [05:48] Randy_, what video card. nvidia is not enough [05:49] gforce 8600 [05:49] nickrud: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll [05:49] javatexan: Nope... right-click my nick and click Private Chat [05:49] riotkittie: what do you mean "there are applets and gdesklets.....that will do it" [05:50] prdude: for instance lsensors. A lot of different software. ACPI modules will be responsible for that. [05:50] javatexan: never mind. was misdirected and meant for someone else. [05:50] prdude: thermal.ko I think. [05:50] apparently I cant yet...hold on [05:50] cool. thanks ppls [05:51] anyone know how to install mythtv for ubuntu? [05:51] sometimes ... often my compe freezes and i can only use my mouse. i have to hard reset, no ctrl-alt-backspace. my research tells me its faulty ram... but soon with all these resets it will be my HD... [05:51] You are right, I did encounter the error while using eclipse, but I wouldn't expect eclipse to know or care about whatt type of file system it is interacting with. I would think that the file-system driver would be responsible for throwing an error on the invalid name and not let eclipse create the directory. [05:51] any success configuring FinePoint tablet with gutsy? (Gateway CX2726) [05:52] jarrod__: it's tricky. If it's ram, your linux box will be erratic. In the new kernel I saw a new module to operate linux with faulty ram. Maybe you can compile it? [05:52] can someone help me install mythtv? [05:52] kr00l: did you read howto? [05:53] !codec | lollydays (I think this is your problem) [05:53] lollydays (I think this is your problem): For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:53] cabrioleur: just says that i need more dependencies [05:53] lollydays, argh! bad factoid, bad! [05:53] kr00l in terminal type sudo apt-get install mythtv [05:53] ok, no problem [05:53] oh, dependencys, have fun [05:53] lollydays, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2 [05:53] cabrioleur: how can i be sure of it being the ram? it freezes normally right away or after 15 hours almost never in between [05:54] lollydays, you need some extra codecs to play that i think [05:54] nickrud: ok i'll try that out. thanks [05:54] jarrod__: run memtest. [05:54] Any more thoughts on the c: subdirectory name on ntfs? [05:54] Randy_, I don't run nvidia, so you should ask about setting up nvidia 8600 on ubuntu, you're likely to catch more fish with that bait [05:55] oh for the life of me I can't get mysql to let me in. [05:55] k [05:55] Sepheebear, hatter_, no joy. :( === daedrik is now known as Daedric [05:56] guess not. Just was curious if it was worth pursuing with a bug report or something [05:56] jarrod__: try http://freshmeat.net/projects/rumt/ to test it from linux [05:56] hi everyone. i am using Banshee, which I obtained via Add/Remove (package manager). but does anyone know how to effectively delete all songs from my library? i tried Ctrl+A and then clicking "Remove from library" but that only crashes the app. and the songs are still there... ??? [05:56] Randy_, and when you're typing at a person, you should use their nick in the line. It shows up red, so people won't miss it. If you install xchat, you'll get the same benefit [05:57] also, i tried deleting the banshee folder in .gconfd and reinstalling Banshee but they are still there :( [05:57] what can i do to make ubuntu faster? I have disabled a lot of stuff and removed a lot, anything else i can do? [05:57] the_darkside_986: you can remove the configuration files. [05:57] the_darkside_986: find banshee folder in .gnome2 [05:58] the_darkside_986, delete the banshee directory in ~/.config [05:58] i switched users, and now my colours are all wonky! how to i reset my video display ? [05:58] nickrud: i'm still getting the error [05:58] Where is my kernel, on the hard disk? [05:58] linuxfce, like your name, try xfce or even fluxbox. [05:58] lollydays, not sure then. I generally use vlc these days, fewer issues [05:58] r00723r0, /boot [05:58] I'm sorry, I mean my modules. [05:59] lol i use xfce frequently [05:59] nickrud: ok thanks anyway [05:59] I completely forgot. :( [05:59] r00723r0, /lib/modules [05:59] r00723r0: modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.xxx [05:59] Ahh, alright. [05:59] thanks everyone. deleting banshee from ~/.config worked! [06:00] anyone know how to get an alternate keyboard layout working [in gnome on ubuntu feisty fawn]? I keep getting "Error activating XKB configuration." [06:00] what do i type in terminal to get it to tell me what kernel version i am using [06:00] how do i generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card? [06:00] uname -a [06:00] thanks [06:00] linuxfce: you can compile your own kernel with all the optimum options for your cpu, and remove the rest of unneeded stuff. [06:01] the outputs of xprop and gconftool-2 show that the changes are applied, but how do I switch layouts? [06:01] What's the module for wired ethernet? [06:01] save a meg or two of memory that way [06:01] in ubuntu after intalling a new software how can we find what changes the new installation made? [06:01] r00723r0, that will depend on your card, there are dozens of modules [06:01] tonofpcs: whats thi relating to? [06:01] Onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra drivers. [06:01] carbioleur, that is a good idea. i have taken a backwards approach to that, since its easy, but for obvious reasons your idea is better [06:02] I'm having a weird issue. I run Feisty, and one night I was unable to connect to the internet. Network Manager was still showing connection to the LAN, and I could see wireless networks, but no connectivity. I got frustrated and did a clean install, still not working. I dual boot with vista, and my hardware is working fine there. I have an Intel ProWireless 3495 and Broadcom 440x 10/100. I'm... [06:02] ...stumped [06:02] tonsofpcs, have you added the keyboard swither applet to your panel? [06:02] earthling, well it dpends on what kind of app [06:02] nickrud: nope [06:02] Ive messed up my sudoers file and now I cant change it back! [06:03] tonsofpcs, and by the way, that's about all I know about alternate keyboard layouts [06:03] :) [06:03] its not letting me do any sudo [06:03] j_medic78, have you only recently set up the dual boot? [06:03] i cant sudo visudo any more [06:03] horizxon, you'll have to do it by booting into recovery mode. And, never edit /etc/sudoers except by using visudo [06:03] Anyone know the module for the ethernet on the onboard nVidia nForce 4 Ultra? [06:03] j_medic78, is it connected through lan? because u could be connected on LAN, but your computer might not be trying to connect to the internet through it [06:03] i did use visudo [06:03] horizxon, visudo will do some sanity checking for you .... oh [06:04] pv1: for example i install say amarok using symantec. how can i trace out where the new files have been placed? [06:04] katharos: no, I've been dual booting on this notebook since june [06:04] it let me save it as the sudoers file so i did [06:04] horizxon, just what did you change? [06:04] j_medic78, just checking you weren't having the same problem i had a while back [06:04] it asked me to save as a sudoers.tmp and I told it not to [06:04] r00723r0: just type "sudo lspci | grep Ethernet" [06:04] pvl: i'm in a spot now where I only have wireless access, but I can't connect to that either. it just keeps asking for the network key [06:04] r00723r0: it will tell you what you have [06:05] horizxon, but what did you change in the file? [06:05] I added the line ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:mount -t smbfs, umount [06:05] can anyone tell me how i can generate a /dev/video0 for my tv tuner card?

[06:06] it's a bt878 and when i've used it before, there's magically been a /dev/video0 for it upon install [06:06] nickrud: any clue what the package name is? [06:06] horizxon, if you're lucky, ls -a will show sudoers~ (the backup) [06:06] pvl: i'm entering the correct key [06:06] horizxon, reboot, when you see something about grub, hit escape and select the recovery boot option [06:06] j_medic78: change from auto to tk.. [06:06] cabrioleur: I know what I have. It doesn't tell me the module. [06:06] ok thanks [06:07] r00723r0: so tell me what you have and I'll tell you the modules [06:07] tonsofpcs, right click the panel, select add to panel, look for keyboard indicator [06:07] cabrioleur, it's a bt878 and i added it after i installed ubuntu, when i used it before i magically had a /dev/video0 when i installed ubuntu [06:07] cabrioleur: nVidia CK804. [06:07] ah, thanks :) [06:08] how can I measure how long it takes a program to run on my machine? [06:08] what is the best way to convert a .jpeg to a .png in ubuntu? [06:08] katharos, try sudo modprobe bt878 , see if the device shows up [06:08] cabrioleur, i've tried following the instructions to load a module for it, but it invariably causes my maching to freeze when booting [06:08] CoasterMas: run fro the command line: time [06:09] CoasterMaster, time [06:09] nickrud, nothing shows up [06:09] nickrud, thanks [06:09] katharos, ah, that's the module for it. I was kinda avoiding your question, but when you mentioned the device type, I said, well, why not? [06:10] What's the best method to run Windows XP from within Ubuntu? [06:10] . [06:10] nickrud, so you dont know how to add the module for it? [06:10] bobgill, a virtual machine like virtual box or vmwae [06:10] katharos, no. That's the right module if that's the right card. Does your card show up in lspci in a terminal? [06:10] nickrud, year [06:10] gah, how do i set up keyboard switchingA? [06:10] nickrud, *yeah [06:11] sorry if i didn't answer anything. got disconnected [06:11] anyone know if it's possible to "ban" modal dialogs in Gnome/GTK? [06:11] Linuxchix0r: thanks [06:11] i.e. make them all non modal, no matter what [06:11] j_medic78, have you checkd if you card is supported? [06:11] katharos, someday I will buy a tv card, and then I'll actually know instead of make lame guesses [06:11] r00723r0: forcedeath.ko === tofaffy is now known as tofaffy|brb [06:12] pvl: it's a supported card. It had been working fine for months. i don't get it [06:12] r00723r0: sorry, forcedeth.ko [06:12] Aye, thanks. [06:12] nickrud, that's ok, thanx [06:12] katharos: do you have any logs? [06:12] Is there a .deb for the 169.07 nvidia driver yet? I installed manually before, but every time I rebooted I had to reinstall the driver manually, which got old really fast. [06:12] cabrioleur, i have no idea [06:12] j_medic78, ok and did it randomly stop working? or did something change prior to it stopping [06:12] hi when i install flash i get mdt failed flash plugin not installed [06:13] katharos: did you have any errors when you are trying to load the module manually? [06:13] md4 [06:13] sarah, 32 or 64 bit? [06:13] 32 [06:13] cabrioleur, i dont know where to look for the logs [06:14] sarah: did you use the ubuntu installer that comes up when you view a page that has flash? [06:14] How i make ubuntu deskt 1 and desk 2 with different wallpaper? [06:14] pvl: my comp just randomly decided not to deal with the internet anymore. the only thing I can think of that was different is that I recently installed virtualbox, and was using a vm with windows 2000 on the internet [06:14] katharos: open terminal and type "sudo modprobe bttv". It might hang, and it might not. [06:14] katharos: but It may show something valuable as well. [06:15] nosudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [06:15] !brokenflash | sarah [06:15] sarah: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [06:15] j_medic78, ok gotcha. so you can't connect through LAN or wifi? [06:15] yhx [06:15] thx [06:15] cabrioleur, i removed the files that were meant to add the module, so i'll put them back and then try that [06:15] sarah: you can also manually copy the file to your plugins folder and remove it when the official fix comes out [06:16] pvl: nope. I can't connect through either. But I can see wifi networks [06:16] sarah: the file being libflashplayer.so that comes with the flash tar file you download from adobe [06:16] anyone here use "linux32" app? [06:16] what folder contains rhythmbox's configuration files? [06:16] hallo [06:16] hey all, I have a ubuntu 6.06.1 SERVER install running apache 2.0.55 and I need to get the mod_rewrite enabled on it, can someone tell me how, without telling me to check on apache.org? [06:16] I need some halp [06:17] Arrick: you might also try #apache [06:17] Lapinux: you want my responce from in there? [06:17] lol [06:17] probably not [06:17] j_medic78, say, did u only try connecting to your own router? or have you tried another? [06:18] can somebody tell me how long it takes ubuntu to install? [06:18] anyone here running ubuntu 64bit know how one would go about getting flash plugin? [06:18] Arrick: it's not the bot that has the docs, it's httpd.apache.org Apache version 2.0.55 [06:18] go there and browse, they should have docs for 2.0.x [06:18] Lagginator: 20-60 min, depends from hardware. [06:18] thats what I got in there Lapinux [06:18] =/ mines been going about two hours [06:18] Lapinux: go to adobe website, they have it. [06:18] cabrioleur, it doesnt appear to do anything [06:18] Arrick, http://josh.st/blog/2005/03/06/ubuntu-apache-and-making-mod_rewrite-happy [06:18] cabrioleur: i dont see 64bit flash [06:18] thanks nickrud [06:19] Arrick, I haven't used it, but the comments were happy [06:19] Lapinux: there is no 64bit flash :-( but there is a wrapper [06:19] pvl: only this router. It's not mine, and I don't have access to it. It's sort of like an internet cafe type setup. i was in a spot where i could plug into an ethernet cable for internet access, but I move around a lot! [06:19] cabrioleur: linux32? [06:19] Lapinux: or you can install 32 bit firefox [06:19] katharos: check if it doesn't work now. [06:20] is there a free alternative to freerite [06:20] j_medic78, cuz sometimes this problem can be fixed with a simple reset of the router, but this doesn't seem to be the case. hold on a sec [06:20] cabrioleur, there is still no /dev/video* [06:20] is there a free alternative to spinrite** [06:20] i'm accessing a samba share, but it keeps bugging me for user name and passwd, the other maching is also ubuntu, after giving same user name and passwd (as the sharing machine), it opens the folder and says 'contents can not be displayed' [06:20] cabrioleur: i just read where someone had to install 32bit firefox but then adobe flash failed to install because it checks the os, which says its 64bit, so he had to use "linux32" app to fool it, the thing is if i install linux32 app it wants to remove ubuntu-minimal which i need? [06:21] what line in sudoers would give my user account the ability to mount and umount without being prompted for a password? I tried "eddie ALL=NOPASSWD:mount,umount" but it didnt work [06:21] cabrioleur, i think it will still hang on boot, but is there a way to get it to attempt to load the module without rebooting [06:21] Lapinux: install nspluginwrapper - it allows to install 32 flash in 64 firefox. [06:21] katharos: the module is loaded if you did the command I told you. [06:22] how would I script mounts? [06:22] enderthethrid works :) [06:22] does anybody know why my volume control buttons on my Thinkpad no longer work after upgrading to Gutsy? [06:22] cabrioleur: i checked synaptic, it says its installed... how do i use it? [06:22] cabrioleur, oh. [06:22] cabrioleur: or should it just work?

I want to load it as a service however, and it's not working out so well. I'm using screen, but when I log in to find the screen, or use the server, it doesn't find anything. As in, I make a screen script, and use rc.local to load it on boot. I see text on the actual monitor to the server (the script echo's the text), but no server. Is there something special I must do?

If not, install it, it's a text browser, then point it at http://127.0.0.1 to see if apache is actually up [07:05] traceroute [07:05] emerald [07:05] and anything els [07:05] and anything else [07:05] I just deleted 100 MB of files and it still says 0 FREE [07:05] pteague, I have properly ssh into a lan pc. now from that pc I want to ssh to my pc [07:05] nickrud: that just rebuilds it with the current configs, i want it GONE so I can start fresh [07:05] When I manage my user groups, I see a list of about 50 groups because all of the groups keep repeating in the list. Why is this? [07:05] okay, do you know how to see what IP address you get when pinging id.archive.ubuntu.com ? [07:05] Err http://id.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main libglitz1 0.5.6-1 [07:06] Connection failed [IP: 202.87.191.38 80] [07:06] thats the message [07:06] Arrick, purge removes any apache config files in /etc/apache2 . If there are any left, they were installed by other packages (like php) [07:06] Err http://id.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main libglitz1 0.5.6-1 [07:06] is there a way to force [whatever] to recheck and recalculate free space? [07:06] Connection failed [IP: 202.87.191.38 80] [07:06] toplok> ah, & you have the ssh server running on your pc? don't have a firewall blocking port 22? hmm... not sure what else... you'll have to login via something other than root though [07:06] grrrr [07:06] katharos: i think you need a few more modules to get it to work with your card: modprobe dst && modprobe dvb_bt8xx [07:07] Anyone familiar with VMWare Server MUI???? Ive tried the vmware forums and #vmware, but im not satisfied with the answer I found in the forums.. Anyone able to give it a stab?? [07:07] nickrud: sites-enabled and everything are still the same [07:07] katharos: take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-153674.html [07:07] toplok: have you installed openssh-server in both places? You need it on all the PC's that you want to connect TO. [07:07] pteague, basically all I want is to copy a file from the remote lan pc to my machine. I have tried nautilus but fails to copy it [07:07] Cool, HI all [07:07] v507 - first things first, have you refreshed your package list today? [07:08] nickrud: it appears to be running after installing lynx, gives the default index page [07:08] v507 - I am able to connect to that IP address without error [07:08] timfrost, yes, its already running on both places [07:08] can i still use feisty repositories if have upgraded my feisty to gutsy? [07:08] so [07:08] JJHathoway, then it's something in your network [07:08] I wonder if I have to open port 22 (?) in ubuntu (my pc). How to open it ? [07:08] i ahve to refresh my package list?? [07:08] how?? [07:08] toplok: do you have the same user name on both PC's? [07:08] v507 - try running a simple "apt-get update" command in the console [07:08] you will need to use sudo or be root [07:09] no. in the remote machine I logged in as root [07:09] toplok: are you running a firewall? [07:09] no, it is a private lan [07:09] both pcs are there [07:09] JJHathoway: /var/log/apache I think [07:09] nickrud: wait, maybe its not working, the page does not come up, i was wrong (doesnt come up with the lynx) [07:09] toplok: then you shouldnt have to "open" port 22... [07:09] iĺl try [07:09] Sepheebear, oooh, this looks like it might be really useful... (reading...) [07:09] any good chatrooms for slackware? [07:10] slackware? [07:10] toplok: are you behind a route? or both PC's behind a router?? you would have to forward port 22 to the machine thats listening for ssh === hafiz is now known as zean [07:10] O_o [07:10] katharos: check it out and keep us posted but its all about loading the right modules [07:10] both pcs are behind the router [07:10] korosora: yes [07:11] I can login from my pc to the other one... [07:11] Fritz,, [07:11] it just hang in 99% waiting for header [07:11] toplok: what are you having an issue with then? [07:12] JJHathoway, I'm no apache guru, I just drop files in /var/www and let the default setup run. [07:12] v507, actually, it looks like I am not able to connect to the indonesian mirror [07:12] me too [07:12] nickrud: i got if finally [07:12] toplok: on each PC, can you connect to port 22 locally with 'telnet localhost 22', then CTRL-] and 'quit' - getting the SSH version string? [07:12] the ping is not working from the remote pc to mine... [07:12] so.. [07:12] what i have to do...?? [07:12] just waiting?? [07:12] thanks for your help, you to neil_d [07:12] one moment [07:12] JJHathoway: is it going ? [07:12] yeah [07:13] toplok: so let me get this straight... you are using ssh from computer A to computer B and computer B cannnot ping computer A? [07:13] JJHathoway: what was it ? [07:13] yes [07:13] me being up too long today....typed 192.169 instead of 192.168 [07:13] toplok: are you sure your pinging the correct IP? [07:13] I have been watching the boot up of ubuntu 7.10 and see the mta takes a lot of time up . How would I make Ubuntu not use it ? [07:14] yes. it says "Host is down" [07:14] JJHathoway: easy to do, good to see it going. [07:14] toplok: are you trying to ping your external or internal IP? [07:14] so now that i have a dedicated server up and running, you guys have any good ideas for what to play around with? any cool server apps? [07:14] fritz, [07:14] internal IP [07:14] ping: sendto: Host is down [07:15] toplok: have you tried pinging computer A directly from computer B (in other words, at the workstation) [07:15] I do from my pc: ssh user@192.168.0.56 and get required for a password and login ok [07:15] WGGMk, yes, it works [07:15] JJHathoway: ruby on rails is good to muck with. === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [07:15] once I am into the remote pc, then I can't type my pc [07:15] ping [07:16] v507, I believe that this problem will only affect backports, but I'm not positive without some additional information that I'll ask for in a private message [07:16] neil_d: am i better off trying to learn ruby, or php, or python for stuff [07:16] JJHathoway: I have a little website that gathers info on the server, load, temperatures etc. [07:16] neil_d: and what exactly is ruby used for [07:16] toplok: thats very odd... anyone else have some insight on this???? [07:16] ok [07:17] toplok: that error seems to suggest that your PC is blocking traffic. Have you installed a firewall package (firestarter, etc) on your PC? [07:17] toplok: can you ping the external IP thru ssh on computer B? [07:17] JJHathoway: I like python, and php, perl is good to know but tricky [07:17] Anyone know why the liveCD installer's partition editor can't see my software raid volume i setup with MDADM? [07:17] WGGMk, going to try it... [07:17] neil_d: is ruby just another scripting language, it seems it is not as common === teKnofreak is now known as techno_freak [07:18] v507 - did you get my private message? [07:18] yes [07:18] did u get mine [07:18] no, I didn't [07:18] I have a problem with qBittorrent. When I start it up (it worked before) it crashes with "Segmentation Fault." I made another system user and the app worked fine. I have purged qbittorrent and all its dependencies 4 times. How do I make it work? [07:18] Pengo-lx: because there isn't room on the CD for everything. Use the alternate install CD, which is supposed to support RAID [07:18] i have to register first??? [07:18] timfrost: can i get it to work via an apt-get install? [07:19] no, that shouldn't require registration [07:19] JJHathoway: yes! ruby and ruby on rails (RoR) is a site template system. [07:19] toplok: also try logging into computer A with ssh from computer B and pinging computer A's internal IP [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse [07:19] deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse [07:19] !pastebin v507 [07:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin v507 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:19] deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse [07:19] # deb http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [07:19] # deb-src http://id.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [07:19] !pastebin [07:19] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:20] in any case, it appears that more of those lines use the indonesian specific server than I thought [07:20] not something like, arail [07:21] hi, I would like to ask for some support [07:21] but long and full of * and - [07:21] sorry [07:21] Is there a way to completely purge a package and every single dependency and configuration file it/they have touched? [07:21] neil_d: yeah, ill probably spend my time with those and learning xml style sheets or whatever, my server is an old computer so probably wont be able to do much cool multimedia serving [07:21] JJHathoway: there are a number of pre built for forums and blogs etc. [07:21] ubotu, ask | georg1 [07:21] georg1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [07:21] with id.archive.ubuntu.com unreachable, you could either switch to a different country's server or wait and hope they resolve the issue quickly [07:21] xenakis: yes [07:21] I'm sure they are actively trying to bring that server back [07:21] when ever i use open office to type an essay then take it some where to print it on a computer that is running windows I always get tons of formatting errors :( [07:22] I am looking for a mail server tht I couls intall to ubuntu and download wmail s from gmail and other remote mail server [07:22] how to switch it Fritz?? [07:22] xenthro: instead of choosing remove package, choose purge package [07:22] richd i have done that [07:22] so a note on security... are the default settings for LAMP pretty good [07:22] JJHathoway: A webserver for just a couple of uses is very light on CPU usage, it will do most multi-media stuff. [07:22] can anyone help me install the drivers for nVidia 7900 GT? I've tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager route, I've tried downloading the drivers from nvidia's website, but either way, ubuntu only boots into low-graphics mode and I can only get a max resolution of 800x600 [07:22] and are other packages using some of the same files? it would be unfair to affect another package that doesn't depend on the first [07:22] georg1: i believe fetchmail would be something your looking for [07:22] JJHathoway, yes, but it depends what you're running. [07:23] richd the old settings are still there... I just dont know which config file leftover [07:23] hello. anyone here got experience with mediatomb + ps3? [07:23] how to switch to a different country server?? [07:23] can I retrieve afterwoods the emails with outlook or evolution [07:23] Madpilot: any more elaboration on that? [07:23] do you always have to specify the device you want to allow users to be able to mount in the fstab? what if i wanted to enable all mounts of type smbfs? [07:23] xenthro: ummm, reinstall? haha, that's not helpful i know... [07:23] v507, choose "System -> Administration -> Software Sources" [07:24] then choose a different option in the "Download From" box [07:24] georg1: that would be a server setting for gmail i believe.. you would have to have a function that would keep a copy on the server. i would be lying if i told you that its possible [07:24] JJHathoway, just that the more you're running, the more likely a vulnerability will crop up. A basic LAMP box is pretty solid, though. [07:24] xenthro: sorry, but anything past purge is beyond my tech support for irc right now [07:24] gmail has a pop access so [07:25] v507 - you are looking for this screen - http://www.fsckin.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/software-sources-select-other.png [07:25] that's a server setting in gmail, you can choose to keep, delete, or archive [07:25] I am off to bed [07:25] BYE! [07:25] richd bye [07:25] JJHathoway: is your server available from the internet ? [07:25] Madpilot: the more meaning apps/sites/etc or the longer i run [07:25] anyone awake out there? [07:25] iĺl try it [07:25] JJHathoway, more apps, generally [07:25] thanks [07:25] I'm trying to get a device driver to work. is there a good kernel-related channel for debugging drivers (perhaps specifically for Ubuntu)? [07:25] neil_d: im assuming by default LAMP is not? i havent made any changes really [07:26] can anyone help me install the drivers for nVidia 7900 GT on ubuntu 7.10? I've tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager route, I've tried downloading the drivers from nvidia's website, but either way, ubuntu only boots into low-graphics mode and I can only get a max resolution of 800x600 [07:26] so any pop3 access relay could work? [07:26] georg1: again, retrieving mail from another server is a process im not too familiar with, but i do know fetchmail can do retrieve the mail for you. if im not mistaken, i think postfix can as well [07:26] webspiderus: FWIW I've had bad experiences with the restricted driver manager's driver choices. [07:26] led-hed, is that a rhetorical question? [07:26] I'm new to Ubuntu/Debian and have installed 7.10 Server. I have set a few IPTABLE rules but they dont survive a reboot. What is the Ubuntu way to make them survive? [07:26] JJHathoway: it probably isn't, assuming you are using DSL, you can check, I like the firewall test at www.grc.com called shields up. [07:27] webspiderus: for instance with my machine Ubuntu was using a newer driver, instead of the legacy driver from Nvidia. [07:27] georg1: i would assume so, but as for keeping a message on the server to be able to retrieve it with multiple clients woudl be a gmail setting i believe [07:27] I was thinking for a opensource mail server, any ideas? [07:27] webspiderus: the end result was that the display and 3D acceleration worked until I rebooted. So I think you're probably better off just using nvidia's utility. [07:27] wow lots of people out there tonight. i have a question about rhythmbox and ipods anyone out there have any pearls of wisdom for me> [07:27] georg1: to host your own mail server??? i use postfix, its relativly easy to manage with webmin [07:28] imaginator: well, neither one works, unfortunately. both end up giving me low-graphics mode [07:28] georg1, Dovecot is easy and works well [07:28] webspiderus: does xrandr list anything above 800x600? [07:28] WGGK thanks [07:28] imaginator: nope [07:28] georg1: sorry i couldnt give you more information [07:28] does anyone know how to get playlists to sync with ipods in rhythmbox. i can drag songs over and they sync but not playlists [07:28] WGGMk, postfix doesn't do POP3 [07:29] Led-Hed: thanks for the info, georg1: did you catch that message??? [07:29] Ugh, just finished an upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, and now I have no sound. lspci returns my audio device, but aplay -l returns "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." anyone run into this? [07:30] would anyone be able to recommend first-hand the addition of gentoo-proposed repositories? i understand these are unreleased (i.e. beta), but is there a way to tell what packages are stable *enough* [07:30] er... first mistake. s/gentoo/ubuntu [07:30] is there a way i can increase the size of my main linux partition and shrink my windows partition without losing data? [07:30] webspiderus: does your xorg.conf have an "800x600" mode listed, and does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have anything about the modes or loading that would indicate the driver isn't working? [07:30] led-hed - what tool are you currently using to set IPtables rules? [07:30] georg1, you will need both postfix & dovecot. Or any other combination but postfix and dovecot work well together [07:30] Fritz, the command line? [07:30] Onyx: Usually gparted can do that for you [07:31] so you are using the iptables command directly? [07:31] Fritz, yes [07:31] krzulu: Should I be scared of 'usually'? [07:31] Onyx: look at "gnome partition editor" [07:31] hello [07:31] imaginator: my xorg.conf - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49938/ - it has no modes listed at all .. but no, Xorg.0.log doesn't have anything about the modes or loading that seems to indicate (at least to me) that the driver isn't working [07:31] led-hed - that is what I use, I haven't experienced a problem [07:31] hey guys [07:31] im new here [07:32] i mean new to ubuntu and IRC [07:32] Fritz, so your ruleset survives a reboot? [07:32] i will try postfix & doveco and I will see, thanks!!!!:) [07:32] borlandc: not to be mean, but, "and...?" [07:32] georg1: ok, someone just said postfix doesnt do POP3 btw [07:32] webspiderus: what did you use to create your initial xorg.conf? [07:33] led-hed, yes - it is possible that this behavior has changed, I set up my server with edgy [07:33] webspiderus: oops nevermind I see that nvidia-xconfig generated it [07:33] does anyone use the ubuntu-proposed repository for synaptic? [07:34] Fritz, humm. so I assume you have an Init script that does an iptables-save / iptables-restore. would you mind pastbining me the init script? [07:34] hi can anyone recommend a good player for downloaded flv files pls? [07:34] JJHathoway: If your server isn't visible from the internet, and you trust whoever has local access, you can install anything you like on your server. My sever does a lot more than just a webpage. [07:34] update manager is in the middle of downloading, what happens if i exit ubuntu? will the download keep and re-use last download ? [07:34] what about doveco [07:34] webspiderus: I generated my xorg.conf for my nvidia card by using: X -configure ; sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf then I edited the xorg.conf to disable dri, enable glx, and change the driver from nv to nvidia [07:34] georg1, Dovecot does IMAP & POP3 [07:35] webspiderus: that may actually require sudo X -configure (I don't remember exactly) [07:35] ok, iwill try this also [07:35] damn [07:35] imaginator: ok, thanks - I'll try that out [07:35] led-hed - actually I must have created that script at the time and forgotten about it - it is owned by my user [07:35] led-hed - I found a forum post with a newer script in it - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-19106.html [07:35] join [07:35] ok then I'm not the odd man out. Thanks [07:36] JOIN channel [07:36] what kinda channel ? [07:36] webspiderus: a little more context; the nv driver is what comes with X.org. nvidia is the proprietary driver === dmt is now known as deemt [07:37] i get this error when i try to install some thing via cron. the package gets downloaded but it isn't installed ;x, http://pastebin.ca/836168 [07:37] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [07:37] When I try to force a mount on my external HDD, I get "mount: only root can do that" [07:37] led-hed - it is probably safer to use that file instead of mine, mine has no comments and I'm not entirely sure where it came from [07:37] georg1, Postfix is an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) SMTP. Dovecot is a MDA (Mail Delivery Agent), and Thunderbird/Outlook are MUA (Mail User Agent) You need all 3 [07:37] If I enable the root account by setting a password for it... How can I disable it so that its like it was NEVER enabled (or password was never set) [07:37] How do I fix that?:/ [07:38] Fritz, thanks and noted [07:38] behii - simply preceed your mount command with "sudo" [07:38] Ah, thank you [07:38] led-hed, ok thanks [07:39] np [07:39] Installed this thing hours ago, and still don't know what I'm doing :/ [07:39] i get this error when i try to install some thing via cron. the package gets downloaded but it isn't installed ;x, http://pastebin.ca/836168 [07:39] FYI - "sudo" is "Do as Superuser (root)" [07:40] * AgentHeX throws caution to the wind and allows ubuntu-proposed. [07:40] gary - this error means that the package is asking questions during installation that cron can't answer [07:41] Fritz: when I try to open it, I get "Unable to mount the volume 'SimpleDrivePS'." Any idea? [07:41] Hay gusy! [07:41] regreth: ahoy! [07:41] Fritz, but i used apt-get -y install , so whats is it asking? [07:41] gary - you can add the "y" flag to the apt-get install command to assume yes to all prompts, this isn't advisable [07:42] imaginator: what exactly did you mean by disable dri, enable glx? i.e. which part of xorg.conf would I change for that? [07:42] gary - in that case, I'm not sure. . . [07:42] Behii - is this a usb drive? [07:42] gary4gar: you would have to pre-seed answers with debconf [07:42] gary4gar: why are you doing install via cron anyway? [07:43] my bad "y" is for assuming yes just to the "confirm install" question [07:43] yea [07:43] debconf questions are separate [07:43] SuperQ, for scheduling [07:43] webspideru1: under Section "Modules" [07:44] err "Module" [07:44] gary4gar: I'm still confused [07:44] imaginator: it says Load "glx" and Load "dri", among others .. do I then just take out the Load "dri"? [07:44] behii - also, what command exactly are you running to mount the drive? [07:44] gary4gar: intalling new packages is not something you normally cron [07:44] webspideru1: just take out the Load "dri" [07:44] gary4gar: what is the problem you're trying to solve? [07:44] Hi, yesterday has been happened me a strange thing. I tryed to force load skype on autoboot (crontab @reboot /usr/bin/skype), after reboot, the system send to gui an error(due to the skype load in that manner). I removed the crontab, but, after that moment, somethings are chenged on my desktop, for example: the exit icon on top left position, originally red, now is changed... How can I reset the desktop conf? Thank you [07:45] * syc_ brb, ngopi dulu [07:45] SuperQ, i wanted to schedule package installation & updating my UBuntu box for the night, as in night my ISP gives free downloads, which are otherwise chargeable. [07:45] lonejack: are you seriously launching gui apps like that from crontab? [07:45] gary4gar: ohhhh [07:46] anyone know why eve-online would say I have no openGL support with ati and the restricted drivers? [07:46] gary4gar: apt-get -d -y intsall [07:46] gary4gar: that will prep the downloads [07:46] Ok question. I just upgraded my machine with more memory to a total of 8 gig. Unfortantely the default generic kernel doesn't have High Mem support. I am contemplating either recompiling the kernel with the generic config and adding high mem or moving to the server kernel [07:46] bye guys [07:46] gary4gar: then you can do the install from the apt cache in the day without downloading [07:46] I would like to hear opnions of doing either 2 if their our any [07:46] * syc_ tiada yg seindah secangkir kopi dan suara distorsi gitar blues [07:46] muaddib: so whats the question? [07:46] gary4gar: after apt-get -d is done, you can just remove the -d and do the normal install [07:46] Myrtti, yeah..i launch gui apps from Cron [07:47] webspiderus: the long Nvidia README for their drivers that installs into /usr/share/doc/NVIDIX... has more information. [07:47] SuperQ, -d is for? [07:47] --download-only [07:47] JimmyDee: what is the negative of doing either too [07:47] muaddib: server kernel works well [07:47] hi [07:47] SuperQ, but that means double work, can't i do this in one shot ? [07:47] gary4gar: it does everything apt-get would do, up to the actual install process [07:47] JimmyDee: I heard that based on the default options of the server .config desktop performance can be somewhat slow when using the .generic kernel [07:48] gary4gar: it's not really double work [07:48] lonejack: how about system > preferences > sessions? [07:48] gary4gar: if you have a lot of servers, you can grab the debconf answers from a template machine [07:48] JimmyDee: so from a performance standpoint their is no noticible difference [07:48] do any of you notice that Ogle-0.9.2 doesn't build with Ubuntu's gcc-4.1, but does build with 3.3? It seems to be a compiler bug where it thinks an assignment is a declaration. [07:48] guys i have a couple questions once your done with this convo [07:48] JimmyDee: Also does the server config support the commercial NVIDIA driver [07:49] gary4gar: apt-get upgrade rarely asks questions, but install does for some packages === Drule is now known as Drule_ [07:49] SuperQ,yeah it is, first what package i have to install have to be set in crontab & then in morning i again have to remove them from crontab, install manually :( [07:49] tamabushi - the conversation never ends [07:49] er, yamabushi === Drule_ is now known as Drule [07:50] Myrtti: I tryed. Now I understand that isn't possible. That's what happen to give admin permission to everybody. For your knowledge I thought many times before to put here my message.... [07:50] well done helping him [07:50] SuperQ, template machine, i got a standalone box here :S [07:50] gary4gar: heh, I don't consider that work :) [07:50] flash is not work.who can help me ? [07:50] hey, is there a tool in ubuntu for dumping ext filesystems? (sort of like xfsdump) ? [07:50] JimmyDee still there? [07:50] yamabushi, what is your question? [07:50] SuperQ, then you must be some Sysadmin in some MNC :p [07:51] Does anyony know any WLAN adapters (USB) that actually WORK well ? I would really like a list or something ? [07:51] gary4gar: actually, if you ran the install already [07:51] zhancan1 - you should be prompted to install flash the first time you visit a flash site in firefox [07:51] gary4gar: the package files should be there unless you ran apt-get clean [07:51] gary4gar: you could just re-process the install right now [07:51] gary4gar: and find out what debconf questions it's asking [07:52] imaginator: hm ... I *think* I followed what you said, but I still seem to be going into low-graphics mode .. here's my current xorg.conf file - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49941/. does that look like what yours did? [07:52] gary4gar: seriously, it's asking questions for a reason [07:52] SuperQ, yeah i know that, they are stored in /var/apt/cache [07:52] ok guys i have a problem [07:52] yep [07:52] Hello. Is there a way to change my mouse settings? Right now it is like X isn't picking up all my clicks and movements very quickly. If I click to re-size a window it seems to always drop it, same with moving a window, click to move and it drops it about 1/4" later .. help? [07:52] SuperQ, i did install manually, no questions asked :o [07:52] Myrtti: now understand, was easy. [07:52] gary4gar: weird, what package? [07:52] NineTeen67Comet: what kind of mouse is it? [07:53] SuperQ, nothing special some random packages, wait lemme pull out the list :) [07:53] * NineTeen67Comet and Sys/Pref/Mouse isn't doing it .. Logitech Wireless Lazer (MX5000 I think) [07:53] So anyone have a solution to my problem? [07:53] imaginator: ^ [07:54] imaginator: I remember a few years ago there was a way to get more pulses per second in xorg.conf but I've totally forgotten how to do that. [07:54] SuperQ, it was DNSmasq, samba etc [07:54] NineTeen67Comet: is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf using Option "Protocol" "auto" and Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" ? [07:54] gary4gar: I wonder if aptitude could fake the input [07:55] imaginator: lemme peek .. [07:55] SuperQ, yeah i think aptitude should work, lemme dig up, thanks for pointer :) [07:55] NineTeen67Comet: also, the way you probably did it years ago was with the xset utility. [07:55] gary4gar: yea, no problem [07:55] see many people talk,i hear my english is not good.so i decision to study english work hard.!!!!! [07:55] NineTeen67Comet: xset m is used to change the acceleration and threshold, but out of the box it shouldn't be needed :) [07:55] hi all. are there any known problems with a linux (ubuntu) open-iscsi initiator and an opensolaris iscsi target (zfs shareiscsi=on)? === f00f is now known as f00f|sleeping [07:56] i was on here earlier and got disconnected. my problem was that my comp lost access to internet, and even after a clean reinstall of feisty, i cannot connect to wireless networks. i can see them, but can't connect. i dual boot w/ Vista, and wireless works fine. i have an intel pro wireless 3495 and broadcom 440x 10/100 controller [07:56] imaginator: No I edited xorg.conf manually (back in my Gentoo days) .. It wasn't auto but ImPS/2 and Device was /dev/input/mice .. [07:57] im running 7.10 on my laptop and when i try to view videos in firefox, nothing comes up [07:57] what should i do? [07:57] SuperQ, found something, still not what i was looking for but it would be quite help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo [07:57] NineTeen67Comet: I'm not certain, but ImPS/2 may be the wrong protocol [07:57] imaginator: I changed it to auto .. maybe that'll work .. Dunno .. Then again maybe it is just this thing is a year old and has many many miles on it .. :-/ [07:57] "auto" may something to try [07:58] lemme restart gdm and see if the mouse changes . brb === f00f|sleeping is now known as f00f [07:58] If I enable the root account by setting a password for it... How can I disable it so that its like it was NEVER enabled (or password was never set) [07:58] lonejack: goodiegood [07:58] !root > WGGMk [07:58] gary4gar: hrm, i found something that might help [07:59] imaginator: sorry to bother you again, but did you see my message? [07:59] gary4gar: debconf should fall back to Noninteractive, not Teltype [07:59] gary4gar: [07:59] webspideru1: no bother. I didn't see your message. [07:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/130519 [07:59] WGGMk: I think the wiki page has instructions [07:59] imaginator: hm ...

[07:59] :-( [07:59] I'll take a look webspideru1 [07:59] Myrtti: on how to enable (change what i need) and disable the root account? === webspideru1 is now known as webspiderus [08:00] webspiderus: what kind of monitor do you have?

[08:01] WGGMk: please tell me first why you need the root [08:01] I thought that UBUNTU was supposed to be easy to use [08:01] I need some help [08:02] Myrtti: i need to change host configuration files with VMWare Server MUI.. only root can do these changes [08:02] with ati drivers, tuner cards adn the like [08:02] can anybody help me out? [08:02] bbengs: be polite.. whats your problem [08:02] !ask | bbengs, [08:02] bbengs,: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:02] GREAT UBUNTU COMMUNITY - I'm happy to be here!!!! [08:02] thanks [08:02] okay [08:02] me too, lonejack [08:02] WGGMk: and sudo doesn't cut it? [08:02] gary4gar: woot! [08:02] ubuntu rules [08:02] gary4gar: got it: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive [08:02] gary4gar: put that in your cron script [08:03] Myrtti: there's no such thing as sudo... its a web based manager tool for VMWare Server... cant login with sudo [08:03] hi i need help, i formatted my HD and when i try to install ubuntu i get errors that it block sb_bread please pm me or say thanks [08:03] I have 7.10 up and running, i was having trouble getting a TV tuner to play on my PC. Now my ATI driver for my All-in-wonder 9600 will not let me keep my display settings to 1024/768, it keeps changing to 800/600 [08:04] WGGMk: I'm pretty sure there's a config file someplace [08:04] hi i need help, i formatted my HD and when i try to install ubuntu i get errors that it block sb_bread please pm me or say thanks [08:04] webspiderus: I seem to recall a DisablePreferredMode that I used years ago, but it doesn't seem to be listed [08:04] nuGzthk, you say you formatted, what tool did you use to format it? [08:04] WGGMk: that you can modify to have it use some other user than root [08:05] SuperQ, thanks a TON!, i should put it where in crontab?, and how? [08:05] Hi there.. I want to know something about the meta-packages, in the description there is noted " It is (also) used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed." [08:05] Myrtti: ive searched for it, ive asked in #vmware and looked on the forums.. the solution that everyone keeps driving at is enabling root.. i already know how to enable it... i just want to know how to disable it === Carp is now known as deadraven [08:05] hello [08:05] - but I definitely don't need some of the packages that are in ubuntu-desktop for example. How does it help to ensure proper upgrades? I cant see any script inside the debs [08:06] anybody? [08:06] !pm | nuGzthk [08:06] nuGzthk: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [08:06] sorry === deadraven is now known as AmbientMstr [08:06] bbengs, did you install ATI drivers? [08:06] webspiderus: try this under Section "Monitor" : Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" [08:06] WGGMk: the rootsudo wikipage should have the info [08:06] WGGMk: passwd -l or some such thing [08:06] gary4gar: something like this should work [08:06] Myrtti: im very hesitant in taking this action, but honestly if you know how to disable root login as if I never touched it.. id be pleased if you could help me. But id rather not go thru the motions of explaning it if its not getting me anywhere [08:06] gary4gar: yup, and reinstalled via the restrided driver manager [08:06] gary4gar: 0 0 * * * DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install foo [08:07] nuGzthk, you say you formatted, what did you use to format it? [08:07] bbengs: All I know is that the All-In-Wonder graphic cards sucks sometime, in stuff like tv, but that problem is very basic stuff.. [08:07] Myrtti: alright, then disregard most of that last message.. thanks mate.. appreciate it [08:07] WGGMk: yeah, passwd -l root will do it [08:07] gary4gar: if it's a one-time job, you could use an "at" job instead of cron :) [08:07] tonyyarusso: will disable root account as if it was a fresh install? [08:07] WGGMk: ;-) sure [08:07] WGGMk: yup [08:07] mpathy: great to hear that it is basic, where does a newbie start? [08:07] webspiderus: and if that doesn't work add: Modes "1024x768" in Subsection "Display" [08:08] tonyyarusso: much apprecaited [08:08] SuperQ, yeah, thats a better idea i think [08:08] WGGMk: or any other account you need to lock out for a while :P [08:08] webspiderus: err rather 1280x1024 or whatever you prefer [08:08] imaginator: Dang, doesn't seem to have helped with the "auto" feature .. I'm bout to head to some people's for dinner so can't mess with it . but thanks for your time. [08:08] tonyyarusso: this wont lock accounts with "sudo" privileges as well will it? [08:08] can anyone tell me how to enable USB networking on Ubuntu? [08:08] bbengs, whats does "glxinfo |grep rendering " say [08:08] ompaul do you mean what kind of file ? like fat and nstf? [08:08] NineTeen67Comet: also checkout the man 4 mouse. Maybe that will help [08:09] I'm looking to learn C++, anybody have any suggestions on where to start? [08:09] Hi. I have win and linux on a machine. i formatted the linux partition. now grub is giving me an error and won't run. can i kill grub and let my win run without reinstalling linux first? [08:09] bbengs: For a english person I would say wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com, for germans there is a nearly perfect ubuntuusers.de ;) [08:09] imaginator: oh yeah . never thought about the man pages for the mouse its self .. lol [08:09] nuGzthk, no, how did you do this, was it with an install CD or something? [08:09] marsmissions, join ##c [08:09] gary4gar: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [08:09] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[08:09] WGGMk: no - it sets the hash of the root user's password in /etc/shadow back to *, which is impossible to achieve with the algorithm used for such things, therefore making there not be any password that works for that account [08:10] WGGMk: your user has their own entry and is not affected [08:10] bbengs, I will remove your mute in a few moments don't paste in the channel use paste.ubuntu-nl.org [08:10] can any one tell me how to set up USB networking on Ubuntu? i want to enable a TCP/IP link b/w my handheld and PC. [08:10] i tried insmod usbnet but it didn't work [08:11] tonyyarusso: sorry for the redundant questions, but the password being * is how root is setup on a completely fresh install correct? [08:11] abhi_: insmod is rather primitive. You may have more luck with modprobe [08:11] bbengs, see always paste the output in pastebin, Please don't flood the channel ;) [08:11] abhi_, you might like to try sudo modprobe usbnet [08:11] WGGMk: yep [08:12] ompaul it didn't give me any out put? [08:12] ... [08:12] nobody knows something about the right work of the metapackages when it comes to upgrades? I want to deinstall some apps like Evolution, Tomboy etc. but dont want to break with some kind of upgrading stuff if it depends on ubuntu-desktop for example! [08:12] tonyyarusso: very much appreciated. not that i dont trust ya, but im gonna head to the wiki page and do a bit of reading before i take this route. thanks for the reference Myrtti i appreciate it [08:12] WGGMk: absolutely :) [08:12] WGGMk: np, part of the "job" [08:12] Hi. I have win and linux on a machine. i formatted the linux partition. now grub is giving me an error and won't run. can i kill grub and let my win run without reinstalling linux first? [08:13] ompaul yes it was with a cd [08:13] Myrtti: maybe one day ill be versed enough in Linux/Ubuntu that it will be my.. ummm 'job' [08:13] How about two international ubuntu support channels, one for beginner questions, another for advanced topics? [08:13] whats a good dvd player for me to get [08:13] abhi_, I said like to try ;-) if it gave out to you then I would be worried [08:13] theQ_linux, use windows install cd [08:14] i was on here earlier and got disconnected. my problem was that my comp lost access to internet, and even after a clean reinstall of feisty, i cannot connect to wireless networks. i can see them, but can't connect. i dual boot w/ Vista, and wireless works fine. i have an intel pro wireless 3495 and broadcom 440x 10/100 controller [08:14] i want a player that has what it needs to actualy play the dvd's [08:14] ompaul: ok [08:14] mpathy: they all start from here anyway [08:14] mpathy, then we'd have all sorts of people go "Take it to the beginner's room" and things like that.... [08:14] Nostahl: vlc [08:14] j_medic78: does your dmesg indicate what's failing? [08:15] ... [08:15] Myrtti: CoasterMaster: And the more advanced topics? [08:15] nuGzthk, was that a ubuntu install cd? [08:15] how do i run a bash script that prints out each command before doing them [08:16] Nostahl: what do you mean? are you looking for a DVD drive for your computer compatible with Ubuntu? [08:16] yes it was with an install cd === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [08:16] imaginator: my internet connection seems to have died for a little bit .. did you say anything after you said you'll look for the xorg.conf option? [08:16] horizxon, try #bash [08:16] horizxon, what you want to do is have "echo sometexthere which is the text you want printed out on the line" before every line to be executed [08:16] webspideru1: yes. [08:16] mpathy, i suppose it really comes down to what are advanced topics....I mean I'm not the most advanced user of Ubuntu and I have tons of beginning questions, but I also know a few advanced things...it just seems to me that keeping everything in one place is a good idea [08:17] webspiderus: try this under Section "Monitor" : Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" [08:17] is there a way to default it so that any command it executes is displayed first? [08:17] horizxon, only way i know of is to edit the script and copy each line and add "echo" before one of each copied line [08:17] nuGzthk, at what point in the install did it give this error? [08:17] webspideru1: you may also need to manually specify the: Mode "1280x1024" under Subsection "Display" [08:17] ah i thought i remembered being able to do this with a command line but i couldnt find it anywhere in the man page [08:18] imaginator: ok, thanks - I'll try that [08:18] telnet ftp.ubuntu.org.cn [08:19] horizxon: 'set +x' will enable printing of commands as they are about to be executed [08:19] hey, anybody use vlc before? and get it to stream media to the internet... not just somebody on your network? [08:19] thanks [08:19] i wanted to try to use vlc as a poor man's apple tv [08:19] r3n0c, you will have to open the port which you are streaming content on on your firewall or port forward it on your router. [08:20] hi everyone, where can I find good info about ARDOUR and Jack ? I have problems to get sound , though other applications do work... I am newbie to linux and I LOVE IT, I want to stay with it, but I need to be able to make sound recording THANKS A LOT [08:20] Creed, i mean in the actual setup, what would i do with the settings [08:20] how can I tell which usb slot my smartphone is plugged in to? (as far as /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc) [08:20] ompaul , umm in the begining of the install and how do i install it , what option do i pick from the cd? the oem install? [08:20] horizxon: sorry try -x not +x [08:20] mylogic: dmesg [08:21] mylogic: or lsusb [08:21] ah yes [08:21] Creed, would i just set the udp address to the public address? or do i have to setup an http? [08:21] How do you mount an external harddrive? [08:21] !iso [08:21] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [08:21] r3n0c: I haven't yet. I was thinking about trying to stream to my nokia 770 (that runs Linux). [08:21] hey does anyone that use finch know how to get the buddy list to show up/ send an im [08:21] r3n0c, leave the public address empty, that way it listens on all addresses and responds to all (even if youre behind a firewall/router) [08:21] Myrtti: I tried those, but they don't really say which one... [08:21] my buddy list has no buddies, to clarifiy [08:21] Pancakes: the same way you mount all of them [08:21] imaginator, ok, yea i was just trying to get it to work (for some reason i stoped getting wifi on my laptop) so i guess i'll just stop for now [08:22] mylogic: mine shows in dmesg [08:22] Myrtti: lsusb gives me Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0bb4:0b51 High Tech Computer Corp. [08:22] imaginator i got it to work on the local network, but couldn't get it to connect from a different one [08:23] Myrtti: well it kind of shows, but it says USB 4-2 ... how do I know if that's /dev/ttyusb0 or ttyusb1 [08:23] ? [08:23] mylogic: Nokia N95, /dev/ttyACM0 [08:23] CoasterMaster: do you know something about the meta-packages and their exact role in upgrading? because I mostly deinstall evolution and tomboy and because of that also automatically ubuntu-desktop, but as I said, there is written " It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed." [08:23] mpathy, just reinstall it before upgrade if it does indeed play that significant a role, meta-packages are dirty to begin with [08:23] mpathy, from what I've seen it's ok to remove it, but you should re-install it before upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu [08:23] nuGzthk, you don't pick oem, and you could try to stick to one issue at a time, the error you got to be of more use to you we would need the exact message, there are a couple of reasons, what kind of machine are you trying to install it on, are you trying to share it with another operating system [08:24] hello [08:24] !hi | user3243 [08:24] user3243: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:24] the ubuntu devs need to work on forking apt to work with package groups instead of meta-packages [08:24] instead of nonsense like bulletproofx and so forth [08:24] what is bulletproofx? [08:25] not important [08:25] bruenig: nevermind I found it on the wiki [08:25] bruenig, if you feel this is a bug / or a feature you want you could write a spec or file a bug on launchpad.net and then participate in following it up [08:25] ubuntu is fun [08:25] it makes it easy to do things, i just wish it were a little faster [08:25] my bugs get ignored [08:26] user3243: what's slow for you with ubuntu? [08:26] Hi guys, I have a problem that after apparently installing all plugins real player, etc., all what is real player doesnt appear in Firefox. Also Youtube videos are slow and the tools of the video are overlapped and look ugly, plus video window size doesn't seem to match ... Any clue? [08:26] CoasterMaster: hmm, but why? the exactly same on ubuntu-server, the metapackage includes "alsa*" packages, but who really needs installed alsa packages on his server at his housing provider? [08:26] to be fair, it's not really slow, just not as fast as windows xp [08:26] windows xp after a fresh install that is [08:27] anyone here used the userful desktop multiplier, i need help enabling users to shutdown the system [08:27] bruenig, this is the support channel as you are aware, if your bugs are ignored and you have the option of forking ubuntu or working on them yourself to get to Free Software Heaven ;-) [08:27] mpathy, i'm not sure...I don't use the server edition [08:27] if theres any little tweaks i can apply i'd like that [08:27] alemones, you probably install gnash not adobe flash, you don't need real player, mplayer and (I think) totem can handle rm so it is a total waste of time to worry with realplayer proprietary stuff [08:27] installed* [08:27] alemones: I don't have that problem, but perhaps it's because I'm installed the flash plugin from adobe [08:27] user3243, so have you installed it? [08:27] user3243, you can always try out different flavors of ubuntu, or hell even different distros to see which is up to speed and you still like :) Xubuntu is fairly quick.

Welcome! [08:31] > imaginator: i'm still a noob really! all i've done is check the output of ifconfig and iwconfig. sorry for the late response, this satellite internet keeps kicking me off [08:31] ugh- 4+ hours in install treadmill.. it all seems so clear after the dust settles.. Use the install CD, choose Safe Graphics Mode, forget fancy partitions at first, just make the boot and swap, and install from the hardware that its going to run off of, no matter how close the boxes seem.. ugh [08:31] can i update to the new tcl/tk? [08:32] Hello can someone help me please? [08:32] HelloTher, what's the problem [08:32] gulp..my help left the chat.. here I go again :: have a problem that after apparently installing all plugins real player, etc., all what is real player doesnt appear in Firefox. Also Youtube videos are slow and the tools of the video are overlapped and look ugly, plus video window size doesn't seem to match ... Any clue? [08:32] j_medic78: open a terminal and try: dmesg | less Some of that output may be about your wireless card driver. [08:32] I can't load into the desktop of Kubuntu [08:32] Is there power management in xubuntu??

[08:33] imaginator: i'll try it. i'm gonna have to log off vista and reboot to do it [08:33] j_medic78: ok, good luck :) [08:33] alemones, You are using gnash instead of flash, that is what is causing your youtube problems [08:34] hey does anyone in here now anything about finch? like how to log on. because for some reason by buddy list doesn't show up at all [08:34] Jordan_U: thanks, what should I do? [08:34] HellDragon, what desktop -- you mean X.orf? [08:34] fluxbox [08:34] sorry i meant that to HelloTher [08:35] It says no resume image, doing normal boot. Then It asks me for my login details. But I want to go into the actual desktop [08:35] alemones, Open Applications -> Add / Remove, uncheck gnash and check flash ( make sure that it is showing all available applications at the top right ) [08:35] HelloTher: it sounds like gdm or X isn't working for some reason [08:36] hi all [08:36] HelloTher: if you login then you might try startx and see what happens [08:36] Ok will try that thanks. [08:36] can I just use wine "c:\blah\blah\blah.exe" as the command for a launcher I want to create? [08:36] hello ppl :) [08:37] alemones, Or from the terminal: sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:37] or do I need to have a specific command? [08:37] is there a way to make the surround system to work??? [08:38] isaacj87, Any command that works from a terminal will work from a launcher [08:38] Jordan_U: does apt-get remove do the same thing as dpkg --remove pkgname? [08:38] Hello! I'm using the Live CD right now, and I have a small question about installation...I have Windows already installed, and so I used GParted to create an ext3 partition, a swap partition, and a 10GB fat32 partition for backup stuff. If I let Ubuntu install the bootloader, will I still be able to get into Windows? [08:39] Jordan_U: ah. thanks. I was just curious if I need anything else besides: wine "c:\blah\blah.exe" [08:40] my experience is that ubuntu kills windows bootability [08:40] imaginator, basically, but it also removes the dependencies of [08:40] ubuntu_: yes, you should be able to. Assuming that the boatloader installer identifies the existing partitions, and creates entries. Make sure you have backups though beforehand of all of your important Windows data. [08:40] but that may have changed [08:40] and windows kill ubuntu bootability, though of course theres double boot howto's on google [08:41] imaginator: Yep, I do :) Let's assume the bootloader didn't...would there be a way to manually do it? [08:41] user3243, It shouldn't ever do that, but it unfortunately sometimes does [08:41] ubuntu_: yes by manually adding an entry for grub [08:41] Jordan_U: Thanks, I'm working on it. [08:41] d [08:41] When I type startx the screen goes black [08:42] ubuntu_: once you have ubuntu installed you can run info grub to see how to use and edit the bootloader configuration. [08:42] But it worked fine before. [08:43] SquiRel: are you using a restricted driver? [08:43] Then I restarted and it didn't load [08:43] like perhaps the nvidia driver? [08:43] What's a restricted driver? [08:43] wattyour name [08:43] Yes I am [08:43] imaginator, You people and your Texinfo manuals, man FTW [08:43] watt im [08:43] It prompted me to install it === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:43] imaginator: Would there be a way to have Windows remain the "default" OS (so, if you turn on the computer and leave it sitting, it'll eventually load Windows?). I'm trying to get my husband to use Ubuntu, but I need to sneak it in there :) [08:43] hi all [08:43] ubuntu_, Yes, there is [08:44] SquiRel: oh, well that's a problem. I ran into that before. the restricted driver manager has a bug or 2 [08:44] So is there a way to fix it? [08:44] ubuntu: you need to edit the grub config file [08:45] i m interested in installing ubuntu. i installed once but all my programs are with .exe and i culdnt install wine but when i did. the software werent installing coz they didnt knew where to be install [08:45] SquiRel: at the grub menu boot with the rescue/safe option [08:45] ubuntu_, Edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and put the lines that boot windows before the debian automagic kernels section ( that sounds more complicated than it is ) [08:45] SquiRel: then login and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver back to nv from nvidia [08:45] SquiRel: The problem is most likely that the restricted driver manager used a newer driver than your card supports. At least it was that case with mine [08:45] Hmm. I'll install it and then come back here if I need help :) [08:46] SquiRel: I found that the newer driver would work, after initialized with the nv driver, but failed after a reboot, and would give me a black screen [08:46] Imaginator: so then can I not use those drivers [08:46] ubuntu_: go here for instruction for duel booting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [08:47] SquiRel: I'm guessing you can't for now. You can however install the official Nvidia driver (perhaps the older legacy version) it's what I use. [08:47] So how do I do that? [08:47] SquiRel: see the nvidia site [08:47] you can download their driver and installer [08:47] Ok thanks for your help [08:47] well [08:48] anyone here using the slab menu? [08:49] any idea why it looks weird on ubuntu? :D [08:49] wers, screenshot? [08:49] hi. is there any permanent solution to the titlebar gone in compiz problem? i've tried everything. bt once in every session, the titlebars disappear. :( [08:50] siddhant in terminal type emerald --replace [08:50] user3243: what does that do? [08:50] if you dont have emerald start with sudo apt-get install emerald [08:50] i enabled ths line in startup as well. [08:50] Jordan_U, good idea. where can i upload it? is there something like pastebin for screenshots? :D [08:51] emerald --replace sets the window boarders to use emerald decorations [08:51] wers, flickr, photobucket, imageshaq [08:52] i did emerald --replace just now. as soon as i close the terminal, titlebars disappear again [08:52] yeah you cant do that, but you can make it an executable and set it to autostart [08:52] that way you wont see it, and you wont have to do it [08:52] siddhant, nohup emerald --replace [08:53] hello i need help again [08:53] it does bring them back. but as soon as i close the terminal, they go again. [08:53] i using gutsy [08:53] siddhant, Also you probably want to put that in System -> Preferences -> Session ( you don't need the nohup for that but it doesn't hurt either ) [08:54] i´m using gutsy [08:54] install compiz [08:54] siddhant, Using "nohup emerald --replace" it should not go away when you close the terminal [08:54] it did. :( [08:54] i'd tell him how to make an executable and put it in autostart, but im too lazy [08:54] and then i dont know next after installing compiz [08:54] hey now it didnt! [08:55] thanks! [08:55] siddhant, np [08:55] v507 in terminal type compiz --replace [08:55] Jordan_U, http://xs.to/codes.php?f=Screenshot-1.png&h=xs322&d=07526 [08:55] lol jordan he's going to have to do that every time he uses his computer, assuming he shuts it down [08:55] Imaginator: Hi again, there is no option for rescue/safe boot, and there is no directory /x11?

That seems strange though that they would move /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:58] wers, Been awhile since I've used Suse but that looks right. It is going to look different with different themes [08:58] I'm using Feisty for what it's worth. [08:58] then??

[09:00] hold on [09:00] ok [09:00] I will try the locate thing then [09:00] SquiRel, Do you have xorg installed?

[09:21] rkvirani> i want to watch youtube stuff but i can't [09:21] imaginator: ati unknown device 7942 [09:21] just out of curiosity, does ubuntu 7.10 usually detect monitors properly? I've got a dell FP 2001 which is in ubuntu's list of monitors, but it doesn't autodetect as that. If i select the dell fp 2001 as the monitor, and restart X, however, then i get a vertically scrambled image.. [09:22] tarelerulz: reinstalling the system doesn't mean that you must wipe out /home [09:22] aLeSD_: hmm. So you're just trying to install the system, or have you already installed? [09:22] imaginator: tringh [09:22] oh [09:22] imaginator: xorg says : screen found but no usable configurtion [09:22] hi [09:22] antler: if it's not on separate partition [09:22] tarelerulz: you're /home and / are in the same partition [09:23] so go to youtube [09:23] ah [09:23] Hello. [09:23] hello [09:23] and then mozilla will tell you that you need the plugin [09:23] Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free? [09:23] then use mozilla to install it [09:23] aLeSD_: I've never installed Ubuntu from text mode, so unfortunately I'm not familiar with that. If the VESA driver and configuration aren't working that indicates something that may bring you trouble in the future. [09:23] hi again, where can i find the partition manager? [09:23] Arv3n: yes, your own machine [09:23] they are talling about ff [09:23] rkwirani, I don't plan on keeping my machine up 24/7. [09:23] Arv3n: hehe :D [09:23] rkwirani, it can't even handle that. [09:24] Arv3n: sorry then, no idea :D [09:24] is there an "rpm -q " equivalent in ubuntu? [09:24] rkwirani, I'm trying to create my own distro, but not enough money for a repo. [09:24] does anyone know how to get youtube videos working with firefox? [09:24] Arv3n: I do recall some peoples giving out space [09:24] kr00l, install Flash [09:24] kr00l: me :D [09:24] how? [09:24] help guys, where can i find the partition manager on ubuntu? [09:24] Arv3n: he is trying [09:24] rkwirani, who? [09:25] It's not like I can't give money or anything. [09:25] Arv3n: kr00l is trying to install flash [09:25] It's just that I can't right now, and I don't get that much, anyway. [09:25] you can try alien [09:25] Arv3n: Im trying to get him to do the browser way [09:25] My family is doing bad financially atm. [09:25] webspiderus: Ubuntu doesn't really AFAIK write code to detect monitors. I think that's mostly X.org and their usage/misusage? of DDC (a VESA protocol) [09:25] antler , my / and /home are in the same partition [09:25] hey kr00l try 'apt-get install swf-player' [09:25] rkwirani, search google for "flash about" [09:25] rkvirain i installed the non-free plugin and it doesn't do anyting [09:25] rkwirani, click on the first link [09:25] imaginator: Helix is the one I have in about:plugins [09:25] rkwirani, then install it [09:25] Arv3n: there are some places that give space for stuff like that but Im not sure where [09:25] anyone? [09:26] Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free? [09:26] Arv3n: i wanna make my own ubuntu iso image that contains my prefered packages preintalled and my prefered themes how can do that if it is posible plz [09:26] kr00l: DID YOU RESTART FIREFOX? [09:26] Omega512, search google for Reconstructor [09:26] alemones: you may find that removing helix player with: sudo synaptic and installing mplayer and its plugins works better. [09:26] rkvirain yes [09:26] ouch sorry for caps [09:26] Omega512, http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 [09:26] There must be a way to over write the os files them self with out formatting or something? I am not dumb for thinking so [09:26] kr00l: all your windows [09:26] imaginator: there was a detect button, so I figured there would be some detection .. my fault, I suppose :P Is there a way to fix vertical scrambling though? Because I get the login window in high resolution, and then my desktop just appears scrambled, whereas in my 'stable' configuration, everything's just at a low resolution [09:26] you have to close _all_ your windows [09:26] Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free? [09:26] alemones: another option is the proprietary real player based on helix player. [09:26] rkvirani: the flash installation is broken [09:26] tarelerulz: you can, but i wouldn't do that [09:27] Myrtti: which the FF one or the ubuntu one? [09:27] Myrtti: I dont understand why FF is not prompting him to install it [09:27] tarelerulz: just don't format / before the actual install [09:27] bbias [09:27] the ubuntu one is used by the ff one [09:27] Arv3n thnx [09:27] yes i did but i still can't get it to work [09:27] !flashissues [09:27] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [09:28] how do i get swf-player [09:28] webspiderus: it's unfortunate that X is such a problem, especially with regard to configuration. After using Linux for over 10 years, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and now Ubuntu, I find that X is the worst of them all to get working right. [09:28] imaginator: thx will try and let you know, thx! [09:28] Is there some where I can create an Ubuntu Repository for free? [09:28] alemones: you're welcome [09:28] !repeat | Arv3n [09:28] Arv3n: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [09:29] Antler , when it finds a ext3 partition just tell it to use it and not to format it and it should just over write the os files ? is that what I am understanding [09:29] * syc_ mohon pamid [09:29] Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo? [09:29] * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb [09:29] I can pay. [09:29] imaginator: yeah, it's a shame .. when I tried ubuntu a few years back, I didn't have such problems. So is vertical scrambling usually caused by some singular setting, or is it just a consequence of X being generally messed up?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [09:29] i just installed usp ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222546&highlight=usp ). how do I add it to my panel?

[09:30] !id | syc_ [09:30] syc_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [09:30] webspiderus: it's a combination of problems. X11 is very complex, and bends over backwards to support a vast amount of hardware and different configurations. The video card makers are also very resistant to giving out proprietary drivers in general, though I hear that ATI is doing better now. [09:30] i don't remember whether ubuntu has a resize partition utility, tarelerulz [09:30] So the nv driver that ships with X.org is partly maintained and updated by the X.org folk, and Nvidia [09:31] But the proprietary nvidia driver that Nvidia distributes, isn't maintained by X.org, and is subject to potential problems when X.org changes. [09:31] I think it does , I used it for making space out of my ntfs so I don't see why it would not do that for ext3 [09:31] if it does, then resize, create, move, reinstall os on old partition [09:31] how do i log all logins and logouts on my ubuntu server? [09:31] *move the stuff you want to keep over [09:32] *to the newly created ext3 partition [09:32] imaginator: ah, I see. thanks for your help :D hopefully I can figure this out someday [09:32] cfisk is good [09:32] tarelerulz: when it comes to partitioning, take your time and backup your stuff first. [09:32] Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo? [09:32] :-) [09:33] I cant get ' and " to work in virtualbox. the guest OS is gutsy and ive tried remapping the keys a few times. any tips?

I don't see why you just can't over right just the os files . I have had the windows mess up and I just over wrote the os files . That is handy feature . [09:34] I was trying to re-size my partitions and I seem to have lost my /home/myusername directory. Am I totally borked? [09:34] tarelerulz: i've never done that, always preferred fresh installs. [09:34] I may do just that myself. [09:34] urgent question: how do i log all logins and logouts on my ubuntu server? google is giving me wierd results because the word log and login are so similar [09:35] I have an dell laptop that is having some problems. Samba is not working right and it did before and I did not change anything [09:35] tarelerulz: but you might consider giving /home its own partition to avoid such worries in the future [09:35] I just maybe I could over write the os files and start over ,but keep all my media [09:36] I guess that is good reason to do such. I have all wonder that before when I read about. Why would someone wont to do that and now I know why [09:36] hello [09:37] tarelerulz: i never keep anything important in the same partition that contains system files. [09:37] Would anyone be kind enough to host my Ubuntu repo? [09:37] This sucks. =/ [09:37] Arv3n: i don't think anyone is kind enough.

[09:38] mmm .... but intel core duo is an 64 bits processor ? [09:39] elninja: ubuntu has hardware compatibilty db [09:39] Hi. Does anyone knows where the default gusty kernel .deb package (the one that is on cd) could be found? [09:39] hai [09:39] Antler, in the future I may keep /home out side the rest of the system just for that reason . Media is one thing I like to keep up on . sometimes you can't remember where you got that song or movie. === JimmyDee is now known as sleepinsam [09:39] so i just got my gutsy CDs, and booted from it, but to no avail, still not detecting the SATA drive period [09:40] mmm .... but intel core duo is an 64 bits processor ? cause I'm starting the 64 bits version of ubuntu live cd ... and it works [09:40] so im thinking i get a SATA>USB adaptor, will that work? [09:40] Any packagers around here? [09:40] will bug on forums in morning, too late here in my town [09:40] KNRO, I could try. [09:41] KNRO, what are you trying to package? [09:41] his whites, an iron, and two pairs of shoes. [09:41] Arv3n: I already have a package for other distributions, but I'm having problems compiling the .dsc file required for xUbuntu systems. [09:41] Rather than having my home folder on another partition, I like to just create symbolic links in my home folder to another partition for things like Videos, Music, Documents, Desktop, etc. That way I can dual-boot another setup, and the settings and configs don't overlap. [09:42] KNRO, i have no idea, sorry. [09:42] aLeSD_: yes, AFAIK that processor is compatible with the AMD x86-64 instruction set, although Intel calls it something else. [09:42] Arv3n: did Kr00l get flash installed? [09:42] What is broken about it? [09:42] I cant get ' and " to work in virtualbox. the guest OS is gutsy and ive tried remapping the keys a few times. any tips? [09:42] rkvirani, i have no idea. [09:42] he just kind of buzzed off eh [09:42] they changed the tar.gz file at adobe and the installler is borked [09:43] Arv3n: I have a .tar.gz file, just need to have it packaged for xUbuntu systems. [09:43] elninja: yeah, i like that. i personally don't keep anything important in /home [09:43] imaginator: but it's a 64bits arch ? [09:43] aLeSD_: im using the 64b ubuntu right now on a core2duo so its works just fine :) [09:43] wow [09:43] aLeSD_: yes, 64-bit pointers. [09:43] KNRO, binary or source? [09:43] wowowow... my pc rules [09:43] 48-bit address space, which you'd have a lot of difficulty filling I suspect. [09:43] KNRO, if it's source.. just do a sudo checkinstall [09:44] KNRO, google it. [09:44] menllyos: can you get flash on that? [09:44] Arv3n: I did, and I made some progress, but I got stuck in formatting the source file with the debian subdirectory in order to install properly. This is why I'm asking for experienced help. [09:45] not really, i tried to install it but it doesnt work... but since im just using linux for less then a week its prolly my mistake :P [09:45] antler, yeah it keeps it much cleaner and easier to save the important stuff. [09:45] imaginator: thx, I'm working on it. Still another problem I have: When I boot Ubuntu 7.10, the resolution is 1280x800 for about 0.2 seconds, then switches to not-native 1024x768. How do I fix this? [09:45] KNRO, I don't know, I'm not very experienced in that area. [09:46] alemones: Ubuntu comes with a tool for changing the display size. I forget where it is, because I don't use Gnome. [09:46] it's in one of the menus. if it doesn't work then try xrandr, and if that doesn't work ask a question [09:46] you can try one thing.. [09:47] open xterm [09:47] sudo -s [09:47] and then ] [09:47] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:47] sorry typo [09:47] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:47] this would probably fix the problem. [09:47] make sure u restart the xserver [09:49] hi i've installed wifi cards on two pcs configure ips and created a wlan or better says it looks like... mean the client pc connects to the server successfully signal is good and tx/rx bytes increases wheter i do something but there's no connectivity mean even ping server client from server and viceversa fails [09:50] HI mates.

My /home directory is empty now, but I found the old /home/username at /media/sda5. What do I need to do to fix? Should I edit /etc/fstab or should i try the partitioning part of the LiveCD again?

I think it recover ,but I am not sure. It is something that Dell or hp would use if you To help with hardware problems [09:51] did you configure the routes for your network? [09:51] sankat, I do not want a dock. I just want a menu bar applet alternative for the gnome panel [09:51] logd: that was directed at you [09:51] ha sorry..my bad.

[09:54] logd: oops. my mistake. just run route without arguments [09:54] whereas route without arguments has three lines but none about wlan0 which is the wifi conn [09:54] feels like i've read the whole internet without any luck :( [09:54] it's been a while since I've configured my wireless, but even then I had to set a default gateway [09:55] imaginator: I tried it, but what I need is that when I start Ubuntu the resolution stay 1280x800, not go down... xrandr helps fix this? [09:55] so .any. help would be appreciated [09:55] well i can route add default gw and see [09:55] alemones: the xrandr program may. It lists the resolutions and you can set a resolution with xrandr -s [09:55] but it doesn't goes [09:56] Guys is there Ubuntu tool for watching TV chanells throguh Internet? === Mushroom1 is now known as Mushroomi [09:56] * morran goes back to his dark corner... :( [09:56] try mythv [09:56] err mythtv [09:57] thx [09:57] hello, is anyone here familiar with the xfce desktop?

Over the years some things have worked in Wine, only to break later on for me. I just tend to not use it anymore. [09:57] AstronautBB: yes [09:57] ummmm might try xubuntu [09:58] imaginator: :( wine just "hard crashes" for me... can't even run winecfg. [09:58] anything I can do to speed up the boot time? [09:59] morran: The sound troubles i had in wine were resolved by making sure the wine configuration used alsa and not oss...not much help but that's all i've got there [09:59] AstronautBB: what do you have loading at boot time? [09:59] but it seems, or im pretty sure its the problem is the soundcard. [10:00] hi. i am trying to run google earth on ubuntu 7.10 x64, it once worked, but it now says "error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1" [10:00] NooBBoon: will try that... thx :) [10:00] what can i do? === cam_ is now known as cam- [10:00] Best C++ IDE for Ubuntu guys? Don't like Anjuta btw [10:00] morran: np, i can also tell you that i had to try about a dozen times to get wine installed. It kept crashing for me as well, and I could not even get wineconfig to run [10:00] I cant get ' and " to work in virtualbox. the guest OS is gutsy and ive tried remapping the keys a few times. any tips?

[10:01] Flannel➜ nope [10:01] i had them working from the download provided at nvidia, until i did an apt update and it broke them. now i cant fix them =p [10:01] ummm the host OS is gutsy? [10:01] aku lg cr lesbian ni [10:02] #surabaya [10:02] cam-: you probably have to recompile the kernel driver for your nvidia card [10:02] imaginator: i did that.. :/ [10:03] cam-: how is it failing? [10:03] i installed the libc devs and the kernel headers for the kernel im using and re-ran the drivers on the nvidia website, which recompiled it for me [10:03] when it loads X [10:03] cam-: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [10:03] god I hate...recompiled for me [10:03] it comes up saying that there is no supported resolution and its using a low resolution, press OK and then it goes to a black screen where it just hangs [10:03] ok ill just check [10:04] hi. i am trying to run google earth on ubuntu 7.10 x64, it once worked, but it now says "error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1". suggestions? i think i am missing the 32 bit gl libs, is there a package?

[10:05] Beererde: libGL.so is generally from either from a proprietary video card driver, or a Mesa package. [10:06] imaginator: and the mesa package is not hardware accelerated, right? [10:06] imaginator: is there a restricted package in ubuntu which i could reinstall? [10:06] Beererde: correct, not usually. Though there is a project based on it that is. [10:06] Benalex: mb you need static ip? [10:06] Leo1989: no I don't need static IP [10:07] Beererde: Are you using the google earth in the medibuntu repositories? [10:07] Beererde: if you have the restricted driver manager it may work, though it's known to use the wrong drivers at times [10:07] Flannel: no, i just downloaded it to a local dir [10:08] Beererde: You should try the one from the repos. http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/g/googleearth/googleearth_4.2.198.2451-0medibuntu4_amd64.deb [10:08] Flannel: ok i'll try it, thx [10:09] NooBBoon: hehe, thx alot... got wine to work by removing the wine oss driver :) [10:09] how do i install rubygems in ubuntu [10:09] hello #ubuntu [10:10] i installed rubygems, did gem update --system [10:10] morran: great! i was very happy when i finally got wine working!

This seems related to install of enigmail I just installed. [10:13] anyone using google earth through the repositories ? googleearth-package ? I have a question about the extra packages you can see here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49948/ [10:13] Flannel: hmm, still the same error. how can i reinstall the restricted gl drivers (nvidia)? [10:13] I so sorry [10:13] I never use rss [10:13] :( [10:13] can I somehow convice Samba to use the standard user database of the os? so that when I create a system user he/she can automatically authenticate via with the credentials for samba shares? [10:14] political correctness ftw... [10:15] I use rss with thunderbird since one year and it worked perfectly until today. [10:17] anyone know stuff about with multi repository systems? [10:17] !anyone | stat [10:17] stat: 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? [10:17] can I copy part of the live cd to harddisk and continue booting from that? [10:18] so the cd drive is freed up? [10:18] Beererde: nvidia package would be the one to supply it it seems, yes. [10:18] and I have one error message in thunderbird console : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49949/ [10:18] Flannel➜ i fixed the '" problem. seems the -ose version of virtualbox is a little behind on the vbox development [10:18] Flannel: hmm ok, how would this be called? [10:18] Flannel: nvidia-glx? [10:19] Beererde: this is gutsy? [10:19] Flannel: yes [10:19] ok svn - multi repos system, having trouble getting it to work... single repos no issues [10:20] Flannel: before, i had 7.04 and gearth worked, then i did a dist-upgrade which crashed in the mid of updating, i fixed it with dpkg-reconfigure --all, but the libs are not working anymore [10:20] i mean the gl libs [10:20] glxgears works [10:21] Hello. :) I was in here a bit earlier when I was installing Ubuntu. I have Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer, but I'd like Windows to be the OS that loads by default. How do I do this? [10:21] Beererde: first, check manually to see if that file is there [10:22] Beererde: I'm thinking maybe the "error" isn't a "not found" sort of thing, but more of a "not compatable" for whatever reason. Unfortunately the error isn't too verbose. [10:22] well i guess thats a no :) [10:22] Flannel: yes it is /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 [10:23] Flannel: yes, seems so.. i think it's just because google earth is 32 bit and the lib is 64 bit, but i don't now how it could work then with ubuntu 7.04 [10:23] kumu: that would be best dealt with in ##windows; unless you have a problem with the grub menu that is [10:23] Beererde: There are 32 bit... hmm, do you have ia32-libs installed? [10:24] bazhang: I don't know what the grub menu is? [10:24] LOGAN: why would you want to do that? [10:24] Good morning [10:24] kumu: you have a dual boot? [10:24] kumu: install the grub docs, and then info grub, and read the full manual [10:24] Flannel: yes i have it installed, but it could have beend damaged.. can i check it without reinstalling? it's 300 mb [10:24] Flannel: there is also no gl lib in /usr/lib32 [10:25] Beererde: I doubt it was damaged, unless you went around deleting random files. [10:25] So I found the problem. Enigmail desactive the html view in body messages by default (text only). I just reactivated html view. [10:25] imaginator: How do I get the grub docs? Sorry, I'm still pretty new :( [10:25] bazhang I now use a linux that allows copying one folder to hdd and when boot from cd-rom it continues booting from HDD [10:25] Flannel: i used the nvidia installer, which sometimes overwrites some files [10:25] (Or usb stick) [10:25] LOGAN: what distro is that? [10:25] this way the cd drive is freed [10:25] itts http://dynebolic.org/ [10:25] Beererde: I'm unfortunately not an expert at all in regards to the 32-on-64 stuff. You'll probably want to cross your fingers for someone who is. [10:25] Hey Guys, anyone here using an ATI X1300 video card or knows how to install the driver with directing rendering (yes) working? [10:25] I just download ubuntu for the third time. Normaly I just right click on the iso icon select write to disc and it works. I am using debian with xfce currently. I tried gnomebaker, but it see the cd as data. Has the method for get a iso image change or is there another method I should us? [10:26] Flannel: hmm ok [10:26] kumu: look through the ubuntu menus for something called synaptic. there's probably also something on the ubuntu wiki. I'll check [10:26] tets [10:26] LOGAN: ah, nesting is what you are referring to [10:26] Flannel: thanks anyway, the medibuntu package is a good tip :) [10:26] bazhang: sort of, ubuntu live cd does not free the CD drive [10:26] kumu: you have a dual boot but dont know the grub menu? [10:27] dyne:bolic continues live cd booting from a copy of the hdd [10:27] bazhang: All I did was install Ubuntu on another partition [10:27] LOGAN: you could set up a persistent livecd that can have changes saved back to it, or a usb key that did likewise [10:27] kumu: and now the windows is lost? [10:27] kumu: when you're at the boot menu after the BIOS do you see WIndows in the list? [10:27] kumu: There is a black screen with list of OS'es you can launch [10:28] imaginator: Yes, I do. Right now, though, if I just let it sit for 10 seconds then it'll load Ubuntu; I want it to load Windows instead [10:28] bazhang: I tried and didnt work. besides this is like starting boot from CD and continues from hdd (faster) and leaves CD drive free for use [10:28] LOGAN: you been to pendrive linux? [10:28] morning all [10:28] anyone have any experiance with webcam stuff, specificaly gspcav?

[10:34] LOGAN: it's unlikely that you could watch any DVDs anyway using a Ubuntu CD, rather than an install [10:34] http://geexbox.org/ LOGAN [10:34] LOGAN: libdvdcss is missing for one thing, so most commercial DVDs wouldn't play [10:34] bazhang serial com [10:34] imaginator: well, I watched dvds while I wait untill windows gets fixed [10:35] Mba7eth: still no idea what you mean; the video card drivers? the wireless? other?

[10:38] ok,let me see,wait a moment [10:38] arm9_linux like : /dev/tty9 [10:38] Mba7eth: its probably /dev/ttyS0 [10:38] hi..anyone can help me?

[10:42] it seems i can't download from any https location, with firefox, wget or any other way.... what can it be? [10:42] so you should type"sudo minicom" [10:43] bazhang: many told me Mplayer would be ok... actually I have RealPlayer 9 installed too [10:43] arm9_linux this is what i'm using .... i didn't find any other tool in linux for com port except minicom [10:43] it says my certificates are bad or something like that [10:43] bazhang: but I think I have the plugins messed up :( [10:43] have you set the minicom crectly? [10:43] i already purged and reinstalled firefox, but it don't seem to be a problem only with firefox, but with my computer [10:44] arm9_linux alreay got it working ... just do the configuration in sudo mode, save them, quit, then use it with using ur normal user [10:44] Mba7eth: its because there aren't called "com ports" they are called "serial ports" there are plenty of other tools, but minicom is good enough [10:45] ifireball : serial com ..... sorry i guess confused you guys alot :) [10:45] hehe [10:45] yes [10:45] serial port [10:45] sorry again [10:45] alemones: this may help with getting helix to not be in the list: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/uninstall.html [10:46] ifireball what are the other tool for using "SERIAL PORT" :) [10:46] Mba7eth: move along the the windows detox center :P [10:46] Mba7eth: cu is one tool, though I don't know if it comes with Ubuntu. It's probably an apt-get install thing [10:47] serial ports are legacy and not included in many new computers [10:47] if you like,you can run a xp OS in vmware,and use the "supertermial" tool [10:47] minicom is fancier.

I've read that forum but no luck with the getting direct rendering working. Using compiz-fusion I get crazt lag time when I enable "reflections".

I'll answer there if I can [10:58] I don't know enough linux to follow instructions from a 'higher' level (one sentence meaning doing several things).. but that would be too long. I propose I uninstall Real Player, to see if it drags the Helix one away and then retry Mplayer...

[11:23] c and header files, and other stuff [11:23] is there a "confinure" file [11:23] ? [11:23] i see ConfigFile [11:23] alemones: basically this tool called updatedb is run periodically from a job scheduler called cron. cron starts is once a day, if your computer is booted at a certain time. locate uses the data from updatedb. find on the other hand just searches the filesystem without a database, so it's slower. [11:23] user3243: or maybe this source package works slightly differently, check if you got an INSTALL or README file with it [11:23] ok will do [11:23] alemones: what can happen is that the database isn't in sync with the actual disk contents, due to package removal, etc. [11:23] lukerill: well it is ncurses based, so not as shiny, but not really much harder; just need to tab and enter through the choices [11:24] bazhang, thanks, I'll try that now [11:25] no worries lukerill [11:25] alemones: anyway the command you could use in a terminal is: find / -name "nphelix.so" or even find /usr -name "nphelix.so" There's probably also some other standard location mentioned in that FAQ for the Mozilla plugins.

Guess I can't win. I can get audio in the avi's just fine using mplayer, but in vlc now the audio is barely detectable. [12:11] imaginator: for example, vlc used to have quite good gtk and qt front ends, but they were both dropped in favor of a wxwindows one [12:11] Jan`: I guess you need to register your nick then to talk with anyone now [12:11] Yes. [12:11] ifireball: I wasn't aware of that. I've been using the gtk+ frontend. [12:12] Not to worry. [12:12] Hello there. [12:12] But on the topic at hand: yes it's funny, although I think the main problem with linux is not encouraging women, it's encouraging anyone who actually wants to do work on computers rather than treat them as a hobby. [12:12] tho1: its because there are about 4 common ways to use audio and many more less-common, and the default configs not always agree, but unless its the god-for-nothing closed-source flash plugin, it can usually be fixed easily [12:12] Could have I help with chroot jail? [12:13] I unable to change password on chrooted account. [12:14] imaginator: well, if it doesn't crash all the time I guess they might have picked it up; like I said, havn't looked at VLC in a while, mplayer works fine for me... [12:14] ifireball welll.the problem just showed up a few days ago. I have tinkered with the config for vlc but haven't yet succeeded in fixing the issue. It was just too easy to start using mplayer instead [12:14] passwd: pam_start() failed, error 26 [12:14] how to send a directory through ftp in command line [12:14] one bootup the touchpad stopped working, so now i can only use external mice, what do i do? [12:14] tho1: indeed ;) [12:14] ifireball: I did a checkout of the vlc trunk. I'll see what they are using. [12:16] ifireball I find as I get old(er) I just want something that works. didn't take long to rule out vista, linux is getting closer...but the temptation to try a mac is becoming overwhelming [12:16] hello, help to install cairo dock... [12:17] imaginator: ok, then you know it better then me, but I can probably find issues with it still, how is the Gnome integration for instance? can it do session management? does it obey the desktop preferences? [12:17] same here tho1 [12:17] I'd love to get my hands on a Macintrash [12:17] "Worst LUG meeting possible: 10pm Monday night, downtown warehouse in deserted alley, meat, double meat or spicy meat pizza and cheap beer." [12:17] * Jan` snickers extensively [12:17] ifireball: I don't know about the gnome integration. I don't use Gnome, but I do use Ubuntu :) [12:18] Yup. That's it alright. [12:18] tho1: well, I have some ethical principles to keep me on linux, other then that I hear ya [12:18] all the lines exactly as written? including the final bracket being spaced out a bit? [12:18] anyone know how to get linux on an ipaq r3115 ? [12:18] g0rb3h: all the lines exactly as written? including the final bracket being spaced out a bit? [12:18] ifireball I'll probably always have a linux partition...linux allows me to rediscover the pleasure of getting the printer to print 'hello' [12:19] imaginator: kde? those questions can be asked WRT kde as well [12:19] is it possible to change amd64 to x86 only via ssh? [12:19] ifireball: I'm using Ubuntu with a WM I wrote, and the toolkit I mostly use is Tcl/Tk === J-B_ is now known as JB__ === JB__ is now known as JB___ [12:19] g0rb3h: i can't save it for some weird reason [12:20] how can I get my berly to work without turning my menus black? and I don't know how to zoom or rotate the cube [12:20] hi, does somebody know how can be started software in reduced to icons at startup [12:20] * Jan` continues going through "how to attract women to Linux", snickering occasionally and nodding a lot [12:20] imaginator: oh, so you're pretty much integration-agnostic ;) [12:20] ifireball: to some extent. [12:20] j_medic78: probably trying to save as a user, open your editor as root [12:21] when u have the file there run this command [12:21] "This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 3 seconds." ... isn't this somehow...weird and contradictory? [12:21] wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf -Bw [12:21] imaginator: but isn't tcl/tk ugly as hell? the less time I looked it was still using motif as a backend... [12:21] ifireball: I'm a Tcl and Tk core developer, and I'm hoping that the 8.5.x releases will change the ideas about "ugly as hell" once Ubuntu starts using them of course [12:22] Anyone have a .deb file for doomsday? [12:22] ifireball: and Tk has never used Motif, it just looked like it. [12:22] imaginator: I don't know... this is a python/ruby world, I liked TCL... but it kinda seems.. old fashioned... [12:23] hi [12:23] g0rb3h: it keeps giving me an "Unexpected error: File not found" [12:23] ive a question [12:23] ifireball: that's a view that many people regretabbly share. [12:23] im isntalling ubuntu now [12:23] ifireball: I wouldn't say there's a lot of truth to it though. [12:23] i can compile with ubuntu? [12:24] ? [12:24] gcc [12:24] is in it [12:24] Cnerd: yes [12:24] imaginator: also, it won't be truly integrated until you can somehow run the GTK theme engine above it [12:24] 2 versions at least [12:24] j_medic78: ok, save the config file i posted you to here instead /home/(your username)/wpa_supplicant.conf [12:24] Congratulations! [12:24] [12:24] You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 3). [12:24] imaginator: given that to date I did more coding in TCL then in Python, I can see your side of this [12:24] g0rb3h: ok, 1 sec [12:24] but it still does not work [12:25] g0rb3h: ok, that saved [12:26] j_medic78: so now do sudo wpa_supplicant -Dipw -ieth1 -c/home/(your username)/wpa_supplicant.conf -w [12:26] ifireball: the gtk+ look and theme support is a problem. It seems that Gtk+ and Qt themes are very important these days. Qt has been solved by a project called tile-qt, but Gtk+ is a bit more involved. [12:27] imaginator: I know TCL is capable of any programming paradigm imagined, and its compactness is simply amazing, but somehow python seems "cleaner" to me; and there is the issue of the size of the user-base [12:27] j_medic78: you should get some stuff comming to the tty as we left the "B" out, you can whack the output in pastebin [12:27] g0rb3h: i got a bunch of "Operation not supported" and "Failed to set encryption" messages [12:27] hi, any good crm system that I can use? === poeloq_gai1 is now known as poeloq [12:28] imaginator: well, imo, if its a different toolkit you'll always have issues with small tidbits like how focus works, or hotkeys or integration with stuff like compiz [12:28] how can I configure the mouse pointer to be smaller? [12:28] ifireball: btw: http://wiki.tcl.tk/NexTk that's my project (alpha transparency and window rotation support for a next generation Tk, with widgets written in Tcl). [12:29] imaginator: this is way I try to keep my desktop purely gtk2.x and even gnome if possible [12:29] j_medic78: pastebin the whole lot for me, start from where u issue the command [12:29] * Jan` waits for Ubuntu live CD to burn [12:29] .de [12:30] FUCK [12:30] Ubutnu install error [12:30] :'( [12:30] Cnerd: Thanks but no thanks. [12:31] :p [12:31] Cnerd: what's the problem? [12:31] imaginator: well, I'm kinda surprised to hear that TK is its own toolkit I always thought it was a layer above something else, does it has something like glade? [12:31] g0rb3h: http://pastebin.com/m5b99e452 [12:31] Errno 5 Input/output error: '/rofs/usr/share/aspell/en_CAw_accents-only.cwl.gz' [12:32] imaginator: alos I suppose one way to solve gtk integration problems is to write a gtk them engine in tk... ;) [12:32] that would be a lot of work, and maintainance [12:33] this particual error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive [12:33] * Jan` gingerly places liveCD in CD-ROM drive, and, in like manner to a bomb disposal expert cutting the green wire, presses the ON button [12:33] de disk is free request from ubuntu.com [12:33] There are tools like Glade -- several in fact. I find it easier to just make GUIs manually with code though. [12:33] how can I verify that the last drivers have been installed? [12:33] I have nvidea [12:34] imaginator: well, the qt guys did that, but I suppose its a question of resources [12:34] is it possible to launch tomboy (or other applications) directly iconized? [12:34] can anyone suggest a good gnome MP3/CD player? [12:34] imaginator [12:34] iCEifer xmms [12:34] I like Amarok.. even if it's a KDE player.. ;) [12:34] imaginator: coded GUIs have maintainability problems and they tend not to be easily I18N-able [12:35] iCEifer, audacious [12:35] cYbercOsmOnauT, I was looking for something similar to that for gnome :) [12:35] ifireball: there are message catalog tools that make the i18n problem easier to solve [12:35] g0rb3h: so my driver doesn't support WPA huh? [12:35] Cnerd: did you run a checksum on the disk image before making your Ubuntu CD? [12:36] checkksum, making? [12:36] imaginator: no, you don't really understand i18n until you try to support RTL of CTL languages... [12:36] ive did request free cd [12:36] oh [12:36] j_medic78: correct [12:36] g0rb3h: lol, hell will freeze over before I get the owner of the router to change the encryption! [12:36] Cnerd: well, do you have access to another CD-ROM drive? [12:36] imaginator: problem is most programmers think text always goes left-to-right... [12:36] j_medic78: give ndiswrapper a try, its not such a headache anymore and there are lots of good guides [12:37] ifireball: that's something to solve in the future. languages like Hebrew with RTL and the few others make life much more uhm interesting :) [12:37] imaginator: no, i shutdown my pc [12:37] g0rb3h: ok, I'll see what I can do with ndiswrapper [12:37] i make it open, en unconnect the cdrom dire [12:37] i cionnect another drive [12:37] that can [12:37] i think [12:37] j_medic78: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Windows_Wireless_Drivers_.28Ndiswrapper.29 [12:37] how come i get two icons for ipod when i mount it on usb? i'm on xfce [12:38] same partition or two? [12:38] g0rb3h: i'll check that link out [12:39] imaginator: well, tell me when that future comes, until then your toolkit doesn't cut it, simple as that. I'm sorry. [12:39] how can i download plugins for compiz fusion? [12:40] imaginator: (slightly bitter about those issues, I pretty much started and ended my coding career making RTL ports... motif is horrible...) [12:40] ifireball: do you use RTL a lot? [12:40] ifireball: yes, I agree Motif is horrible. I've done some coding with it. [12:41] imaginator: personally no, but my "clients" do. [12:41] <|DuReX|> pffyt [12:41] <|DuReX|> installing on a dmraid is real problem :( [12:42] Anyone who was here last night might have heard me gripe about Linux not working very well. [12:42] I just thought I'd mention the fact that we can add the Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD to the List Of Things That Don't Work. [12:42] Jan`: what hardware? [12:42] God, it'd be nice to be wrong sometimes. [12:42] lol right Jan [12:42] Um. A PC. [12:43] I finally got mine to where it needs to be with a lot of tweaking [12:43] Jan`: the detection of monitor resolutions is horrific. other than that.. it works fine [12:43] It has an Asus A7N8X motherboard and an Athlon XP 2600+ processor. [12:43] Jan`: of what specification is what imaginator is interested in [12:43] Jan`: which flavor of the million permutations of a PC do you have? [12:43] Jan` Just curious...have you tried Ubuntu 6.06? [12:43] tho1: No. [12:43] Anyhoo, it has a Windows 2000 install on its hard disk. [12:43] Jan`: what's the problem with the Live CD? [12:44] So we burned ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso to a CD and put it in the drive, and the PC booted into Windows. [12:44] <|DuReX|> It fails to format the ext3 :( [12:44] So we then went into the BIOS and set all the boot devices to CD-ROM. [12:44] i have wine but still cant install the msi steaminstaller file [12:44] Then we rebooted and it booted into Windows. [12:44] Jan`: you did...burn as ISO? [12:44] please help [12:44] Jan`: ok so, did you burn it as a bootable disk? [12:44] Jan`: and not as a data file in a new data session? [12:44] g0rb3h: so i just need to install the ndiswrapper toolkit, then get the windows driver, have it configure the driver, then run that command again? [12:44] Yes, I burned it as an image. [12:44] * Jan` isn't quite THAT stupid [12:45] Jan`: how did the boot loader behave? [12:45] I somehow removed the login window config tool, whats the name of the package so I can get it back? [12:45] Jan`: and have you verified the media? [12:45] What type of bitmap files are compatible with X? eg. xsetroot/xdm ? [12:45] Jan`: as in md5cheking et [12:45] imaginator: what's a boot loader? [12:45] I didn't do a cd install. I just upgraded from my last ubuntu [12:45] Jan`: if it boots still windows it's not Ubuntu's fault. it's either your fault for not being able to operate a cd burner or your hardware not following your commands [12:45] 7.06 or something like that [12:45] Jan`: a boot loader is the code that performs bootstrapping for an OS [12:45] how do i install the msi file? [12:45] scguy318: *blink* [12:46] nuGzthk: in Wine? wine start msifile.msi [12:46] Jan`: the BIOS should attempt to load the image on the Live CD [12:46] How do I remove duplicated Ubuntu entries from my grub menu? [12:46] The CD appears to be entirely blank. [12:46] and then the Live CD should load it's own boot loader to load a kernel [12:46] j_medic78: yup =) [12:46] chazco: duplicated how? [12:46] Jan`: that shouldn't be... [12:46] No kidding. [12:46] chazco edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:46] I have two of everything... why that is I dont know [12:46] Jan`: then you didn't burn a ubuntu CD. try again [12:46] Jan`: what tool did you use to burn the ISO image? [12:46] Jan`: how did you download the image? [12:46] imaginator: InfraRecorder. [12:47] scguy318: From a website. Using Firefox. [12:47] wols_ - I think when I installed Ubuntu it picked up remenants of another install on a second HDD [12:47] It certainly spent quite a while making those "I'm writing a disc" whirring sounds. [12:47] For burning .iso in Windows, I would recommend ImgBurn [12:47] CDBurnerXP :P [12:47] chazco: pastebin your menu.lst [12:47] So I'd be quite surprised if it had done nothing. [12:47] Jan`: can you view the CD in Windows from my computer? [12:47] imaginator: s'what I'm doing. Seems empty. [12:47] hmm, strange [12:47] Jan`: there is a "da as if but don't really do it" mode with every CD burner app I've ever seen [12:48] Jan`: what if you mount the image using a loopback mount program? [12:48] scguy318: A what?! [12:48] I somehow removed the login window config tool, whats the name of the package so I can get it back? [12:48] hi ihave trouble updating my packages: Couldn't connect with 192.168.178.9:8080 (192.168.178.9). - connect (111 Connection refused) [12:48] i have [12:48] Jan`: image mount app [12:48] wols_ - There are several bits which say "# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing [12:48] # linux installation on /dev/sdb1." [12:48] Jan`: I think scguy318 is suggesting that you try to see what the image contains [12:48] Oh. [12:48] Jan`: does InfraRecord have that ability? [12:48] * Jan` reaches for Daemon Tools [12:48] hi i tried to compile this bridge utility http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/brctl-010226.c (br2684ctl) to configure my connection and i got this errors: atm.h: No such file or directory and many other errors incomplete type ....etc how to compile this plz? [12:48] luckybamboo: you have a proxy set? [12:49] * predaeus just discovered recently that Daemon Tools the free version contains spyware. [12:49] scguy318, yes [12:49] predaeus: old news but if you uncheck teh search bar... [12:49] predaeus: the fact that it does have spyware is dead obvious, and they're nice enough to let you say no [12:49] omega512: you need to install the kernel headers for your kernel [12:49] scguy318, really? I thought they changed that. [12:49] omega512: linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic [12:50] scguy318, well, let's forget about that then. [12:50] predaeus: I can still uncheck install search bar when installing DAEMON Tools, if I'm not mistaken [12:50] OK. If I mount the .iso using daemon tools, it has a bunch of folders and suchlike in it, named .disk, bin, casper, disctree, dists etc [12:50] Can someone please tell me the name of the login window config tool's package? I accidentally removed it somehow. [12:50] Jan`: so burn your disk again until your CD has those files [12:50] * Jan` suspects InfraRecorder is being Bad [12:50] MrGreencastle: gdm-config iirc [12:50] MrGreencastle, It is called gdm [12:50] * Jan` might have to pony up the cash for Nero [12:51] Jan`: I think your suspicion is correct [12:51] For burning .iso in Windows, I would recommend ImgBurn [12:51] Jan`: Nero? use CDBurnerXP :P [12:51] Mutter. I should have Nero anyway. [12:51] wols_: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) ===> linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic is already the newest version [12:51] try ImgBurn in wind*** to burn .iso! [12:51] Although it comes with plus de la irritating hang-on programs. [12:51] Jan`: http://cdburnerxp.se/ [12:51] Jan`, or try brasero... [12:51] omega512: full output of your make run [12:51] * Jan` goes with wols_' suggestion [12:52] * Jan` looks for a burnable optical disc that isn't a DVD... [12:52] just right click ur .iso, choose Burn! [12:52] Jan`: try your current "ubuntu" CD. seems it's empty anyways [12:52] luckybamboo: but Jan` is in Windows so :P [12:52] scguy318, ah... [12:52] Jan`: dvd's would work fine alos [12:52] scguy318, can you please help me? [12:52] wols_: It's not "unburned" empty. It's "got no files on" empty. [12:52] also [12:52] Jan`: wow that infrarecorder is reall poo [12:53] I've had trouble with it in the past. [12:53] wols_: i'm compiling it with gcc -o br2684ctl br2684.c [12:53] luckybamboo: what's up? [12:53] omega512: why? [12:53] scguy318, i can't update my packages. [12:53] luckybamboo: start your proxy [12:53] How can I mount a .dmg file in Ubuntu Gutsy? [12:53] hi, is it possible to launch tomboy (or other applications) directly iconized? [12:53] BernardB: I think fuseiso (in universe) can do it [12:53] wols_, the proxy is running. [12:54] wols_, there must be some wrong settings locally. [12:54] luckybamboo: but it's not accepting connections [12:54] not my connection. [12:54] wols_:there isn't a makefile with it [12:54] luckybamboo: is it running on port 8080 on that remote machine? [12:54] omega512: I still want the full output [12:55] wols_, how to check if the port is 8080 on the proxy? [12:55] luckybamboo: what OS is the proxy running? [12:55] i think it's a debian too. [12:55] wols_: the full output is big lol [12:55] Okay, fixed my grub menu :) [12:55] luckybamboo: think or know? [12:55] ~ 15 lines [12:55] Still got the USB keyboard issue to sort out [12:55] luckybamboo: and ubuntu is NOT debian [12:55] i paste it?? [12:55] Thanks, I wonder how I removed it... [12:55] !paste | omega512 [12:55] omega512: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [12:55] Hi. I have problems booting livecd on my Toshiba Qosmio G40. Sometimes it freezes before reaching the desktop (but always at the graphical stage). Sometimes I get a nice 1920x1200 desktop and everything works. Until I start a program, then everything hangs. I tried the safe graphics mode, but it just keeps restarting X indefinetely. Any hints? [12:55] Must have not been paying attention [12:55] wols_, true. i think it's a debian or an ubuntu [12:55] I installed build-essential and now get a zlib error, but can't find which packsge contains that library? [12:56] wols_, i'm not the admin. [12:56] luckybamboo: sudo netstat -anp |grep 8080 on it [12:56] zlib1g is installed though [12:56] luckybamboo: can you telnet to it on port 8080? [12:56] zlib1g? [12:56] wols_, i can't get onto the proxy. [12:56] Elko: zlib1g-dev is what you need. headers [12:56] * Jan` burns [12:57] luckybamboo: then tell the proxy admin [12:57] hi, doesn anyone know where cups-pdf saves its output files? I'm printing from epiphany, but can't find the generated files [12:57] wols_: thank you [12:57] My USB keyboard wont work with Ubuntu when using the motherboards USB ports. It does work when using a PCI expansion cards ports. How can I fix this? (With it plugged into the expansion card the BIOS and grub are unable to use it) [12:57] It started in 7.10 [12:57] wols_, it's not a good time for calling the admin. he will be back on wednesday [12:57] chazco: does onboard usb work at all? [12:57] scguy318, I've installed it via Synaptic. What command can I use/ [12:57] *? [12:57] wols_ - yep [12:58] wols_: i copied the output and pressed paste what i must do now? [12:58] wols_, that's why i'm sitting here alone. [12:58] omega512: tell us the url [12:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49963/ [12:58] luckybamboo: we cannot help you. the proxy is not working apparently and we certainly don't have admin rights [12:58] .wc [12:58] is there options for the diff command to display the words which are not the same ? [12:59] wols_ - I've tried changing BIOS options for USB keyboard support, doesnt help... I thought maybe dmesg would help, but I cant login to Ubuntu with it plugged into the problem socket :D [12:59] sockets even [12:59] wols_: it's ok? [12:59] wols_, true. o.k. maybe you can help getting rid of the proxy? maybe i can go out without the proxy? [12:59] omega512: what is this atm library? [12:59] g0rb3h: now, with that command you gave me, I'm getting a "syntax error near unexpected token ` ( ' " [13:00] luckybamboo: sure. just don't use a proxy [13:00] j_medic78: thats a start! =) [13:00] g0rb3h: lol. never mind, my bad!! [13:00] Also, when the keyboard is plugged into the motherboard ports it works fine in the BIOS and Grub, just Ubuntu having problems [13:00] Dear ubuntu people. I got a video, and of all my players, only "MPlayer" will display it correctly. However, MPlayer does not allow me to go fullscreen. How can I fix the other players (ie vlc or totem) [13:00] it helps to change "your user name" to what it really is! :-) [13:00] if your not using ssh public keys, is your password then sent in clear text? [13:00] hi, doesn anyone know where cups-pdf saves its output files? I'm printing from epiphany, but can't find the generated files please... [13:00] wols_, the fritzbox has got the ip 192.168.178.1.... maybe i can just go through it? [13:00] chazco: plug in the usb keyboard to mianboard, then dmesg | tail -20 [13:00] j_medic78: :P also dont copy the carriage return char into the .conf file [13:00] wols_: it's used to create a bridge (virtual network) to configure the PPPoE over ATM connection [13:01] luckybamboo: you normally already do [13:01] wols_, but i don't know which conf to edit. [13:01] wols_ - I cant excute the command after plugging it in - no keyboard... [13:01] I'll try a script with sleep in it [13:01] nucco: find / -name filename.pdf ? [13:01] omega512: the atm doesn't do that. answer my question. and where is it from? [13:02] chazco: plug it in, remove it again and plug it to the pci card, then dmesg | tail -40 [13:02] hi [13:02] can someone help me install the msi file? [13:02] wols_ - got it with a script... it seems to show up fine [13:02] luckybamboo: do "telnte google.com 80" what does it say? [13:02] steam [13:03] nuGzthk: appdb.winehq.com or #wine [13:03] luckybamboo: *telnet [13:03] wols_, Trying 64.233.167.99... [13:03] Connected to google.com [13:03] does anyone know about saslauthd und postfix ? [13:03] Connection closed by foreign host [13:03] [ 478.060000] input: Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 as /class/input/input8 [13:03] [ 478.060000] input: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000] on usb-0000:00:02.0-3 [13:03] wols_: see PPPoE in http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html [13:03] luckybamboo: you using synaptic or apt-get? [13:03] wols_, apt-get [13:03] scguy318, ? [13:03] omega512: this atm lib needs a corresponding atm.h header file. where is it? [13:04] luckybamboo: env |grep HTTP is there any proxy set? [13:04] wols_, env |grep HTTP --> no reponse [13:04] luckybamboo: sudo grep -r -i HTTP /etc/apt/* [13:04] luckybamboo: any response? [13:05] wols_: i don't know this why i post the question [13:05] i cant send emails: in the mail.log i read: cannot connect to saslauthd server: Not a Directory <<< what i should do [13:05] omega512: how should we know? [13:05] wols_, yeah. the source.list [13:05] omega512: to find a certain file you can use apt-file, sudo apt-get install apt-file ; sudo apt-file update ; apt-file search atm.h - that will tell you which pkg the file is in [13:05] that's not it. should be a preferences file [13:05] is it a mandatory proxy? [13:06] wols_, and 2 entries in apt.conf [13:06] luckybamboo: pastebin the 2 entries [13:06] what's ubuntu's policy on drivers? do new drivers for graphics cards and drivers like madwifi get backported to dapper and/or gutsy now? i thought i read a spec about that sometime ago [13:06] maek: how will that help him? [13:07] omega512: again. where is this atm library from? [13:07] anyone here with any usenet experience? (using Pan) [13:07] i tried using microsofts server (just to try it) and now i cant ue my isp's server anymore [13:07] wols_, all entries: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/25258/ [13:07] wols_: I might have misunderstood, I thought he was looking for where to get atm.h - sorry omega512 [13:08] luckybamboo: something is very wrong since those proxies are supposed to use port 3128 but you spoke about port 8080 [13:08] g0rb3h: what did you mean by "carriage return"? :-D [13:08] I want to play a video file and the screen goes all pink, is this because I am missing codecs? [13:08] Vinconzo: perhaps the connection is persistent or you set NNTPSERVER in your env differently? [13:08] Right well. [13:08] Vinconzo: I don't use Pan. I use slrn FWIW [13:08] wols_, shall i change it to 3128? [13:08] j_medic78: thats the enter key [13:08] It just played this cool "tribal drums" style musical sting. [13:08] luckybamboo: it's already set to 31289 [13:09] ok [13:09] -9 [13:09] And now the TV it's plugged into says "PC-VGA: Out of range." [13:09] wols_, true , you're right. [13:09] j_medic78: or rather the special character that shows an enter [13:09] j_medic78: when i posted you your wpa_supplicant.conf in ./msg it copied that character, you see it as a square [13:09] This limits its usefulness. [13:09] luckybamboo: you can try and comment them out with a # in front of each [13:09] wols_: i readed this HowTo http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html to configure my ADSL USB modem [13:10] Jan`: what are you planning to do? [13:10] Jan`: oh, retarded X [13:10] omega512: have you made the atm library, yes or no? [13:10] g0rb3h: hmm.. i didn't see any square in it [13:10] wols_, i commented both entries in /etc/apt/apt.conf [13:10] Jan`: switch to tty1 via Ctrl-Alt-F1, login as ubuntu/ubuntu, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:10] <|DuReX|> whoooohooo :) ubuntu finally installing :D [13:11] Jan`: then restart GDM by doing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [13:11] j_medic78: kk nps then =) did ndiswrapper load the module properly? [13:11] Jan`: though I think you should already be logged in on tty1-6 actually [13:11] g0rb3h: it said it did [13:11] Jan`: I have my Ubuntu setup with a TV-out and it works fine. I use nvtv to enable it to work over an S-video adapter to a normal (non-HD) TV [13:11] Hey, guys, does scguy318 speak English? [13:11] Jan`: if you're not interested in actually using the LiveCD features of your CD, check out the wiki page linked to by ubotu's factoid at !install [13:12] Jan`: yes, just a different dialect :) [13:12] We'd try fiddling with the "VGA" options in the boot up thingy [13:12] i have got rid of all software i can, but need to freeup more space, where else can i delete files?? [13:12] but the boot up thingy doesn't seem to support USB keyboards (we have a wireless one)] [13:12] g0rb3h: so i gave the command that you gave me [13:12] wols_, synax-error /etc/apt/apt.conf:1: not suppoerted directive „Acquire::http::Proxy“ [13:12] luckybamboo: I think you have two typoed chars at the beginning of the line? [13:13] luckybamboo: make a copy of the file for backup and delete the two lines then [13:13] !install | Jan`, if you haven't seen this [13:13] Jan`, if you haven't seen this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:13] wols_: the atm.h header is in /usr/src/linux [13:13] j_medic78: sweet, and it took the driver files ok? does ndiswrapper -l show the driver u loaded? [13:13] Um, er. [13:13] omega512: this isn't it [13:14] hi, any forum mod here? [13:14] omega512: there is http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libdevel/libatm1-dev in ubuntu. you sure you couldn't use that atm library? [13:14] aoupi: IS there a problem? [13:14] g0rb3h: i don't have a WPA option when I try to connect to wireless though [13:14] aoupi: pretend we all are, what's the question? [13:14] well [13:15] Humph. anyone want a Ubuntu live CD? I have one spare. [13:15] wols_, scguy318 i got still connection refused. [13:15] attachment in the forum, you have to be logged in to see them, Could you change that soo everyone can get the attachments [13:15] j_medic78: 1 step at a time! :P [13:15] wols_: so which one? [13:15] luckybamboo: still port 8080? [13:15] omega512: which one what? [13:15] wols_, yes [13:15] g0rb3h: now, I'm thinking that maybe I should have uninstalled the linux driver, or disable it in the restricted drivers manager? [13:15] g0rb3h: ok, i'll slow down [13:16] Jan`: you can still utilize the files on the LiveCD for the other installation methods detailed by ubotu's install factoid [13:16] wols_, i really don't know why there is port 8080? i mean where is it set? [13:16] can do that in a bit, does ndiswrapper -l show the driver files u installed? [13:16] luckybamboo: grep -r 8080 /etc [13:16] aoupi: Not likely, but they have noted your request. [13:16] scguy318: I don't want to install it. [13:16] Jan`: alrighty then [13:16] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks [13:16] I just want to use it from the live CD to read a Mac formatted disc. [13:16] luckybamboo: I don't know. it'S the 64000$ question [13:17] g0rb3h: it says invalid driver [13:17] =s [13:17] does the update to gutsy work without any special tuning? [13:17] Jan`: HFS+ or something? lemme see [13:17] that's the one [13:17] I was told Ubuntu supported it, so I'd be able to read the Mac formatted firewire disk I have here. [13:17] j_medic78: this bit can be a bit of a mare since the right file u need are often bunddled up in an install shield file [13:17] And then I could copy it to a Windows PC. [13:17] Which is the entire point of this exercise. [13:18] Jan`, you should probably mount it as type "hfsplus" [13:18] Jowi: I'd love to. [13:18] and can you update from gutsy cd from shipit? [13:18] g0rb3h: now, that's a vista driver, i wonder if an xp driver would be better [13:18] Jan`: googling yields me HFSExplorer [13:18] Disastro: Should not be a problem. However, if you used automatix or envy (both bad ideas) you could have real issues with it [13:18] How do I discover which codec is attributed to a .avi file in ubuntu? [13:18] j_medic78: it would indeed! [13:18] However right now I'm in Linux Is Being Rubbish zone, whereby it's using a screenmode the TV doesn't support, and it doesn't seem to detect our keyboard. [13:18] wols_, all i now is: there is a proxy on ip 192.168.178.9 with maybe port 3128 who doesn't let me through. what can i configure?# [13:18] Jan`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/otherosfs/hfsplus [13:18] g0rb3h: ok, back to the download center [13:19] Jan`: there's a utility called HFSExplorer on Windows, dunno if that's what youw ant [13:19] j_medic78: iirc there is some webpage that shows compatible drivers for ndiswrapper for each card / chip [13:19] luckybamboo: the question is why is your apt insisiting on port 8080? [13:19] wols_ yes that's lovely. Unfortunately I don't even have Ubuntu let alone packages. [13:19] wols_, or if ther eis no possibility, how to get rid of the proxy and use the direct way.. [13:19] Tobias92: good question, on Windows I would use GSpot :P [13:19] wols_, yeah [13:19] If I play it in mplayer the screen goes all pink :( [13:20] luckybamboo: if you don't know where to change something how can you cahnge it? [13:20] Tobias92, you use "file filename.avi" [13:20] Jan`: then you are in the wrong place or asking the wrong questions. this is ubuntu support [13:20] Jowi, righto, divX 5, thanks. How do I force mplayer to use that? [13:20] wols_: Hey, they said Ubuntu could do it. [13:20] !codecs [13:21] j_medic78: found it! =) [13:21] Jan`: http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html [13:21] j_medic78: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_g-l/ [13:21] Jan`: it can [13:21] No, it can't. [13:21] Look. [13:21] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:21] Jan`: is that utility suitable for your needs? [13:21] * Jan` indicates a screen on which it is written "PC-VGA: Out of Range" [13:21] * g0rb3h is getting some lunch [13:21] scguy318: there are hfs+ utils in ubuntu [13:21] Jan`: so for that, did you try what I said? [13:21] I didn't understand the first word of what you said. [13:21] Tobias92, it will automatically if it's supported. see if "mplayer -vo x11 filename.avi" also give you the pink tone. [13:22] wols_ : I'm aware, however, Jan` is more interested in getting to HFS+, and X isn't working so well [13:22] Jan`: what hardware is this? [13:22] which will work better to update feisty: alternate cd or internet update? [13:22] Jan`: he's trying from LiveCD anyway, nary an install [13:22] Disastro: same thing [13:22] Jowi, it doesnt thanks. But I cant set it on full screen, I get black bars all around. Can't I tell it to "stretch out"? [13:23] scguy318: if you want to support windows: fine. ##windows [13:23] Does anyone here use weatherget. I need help setting it up. I found a command which says python setup.py install --root=/path/to/root/ in order to install it but I cant either install it right or Im entering the incorrect path . IM doing this for conky [13:23] Tobias92, mplayer -vo x11 -zoom (i think) [13:23] Hmn. [13:23] Jowi, thanks a million! :) [13:23] I am trying to install ubuntu on an external hard drive. Where do I tell it to install grub if my external hard drive is sdb? [13:23] wols_: ? [13:23] HFSExplorer doesn't seem to like USB drives. [13:24] Jan`: are you in the LiveCD session now? [13:24] So that's out. [13:24] scguy318: What d'you mean by "session" [13:24] Jan`: is there a computer monitor in your vicinity? [13:24] redfox: (hd1) [13:24] wols_: Several. [13:25] Jan`: then plug one in instead of a TV? [13:25] ive now more ram and another cddrive [13:25] :) [13:25] Difficult. [13:25] Hi there.. I was watching a flash video and when I pressed a link to watch another one. The sound was gone. And now when I want to play music with "moc" this is the only thing I get: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [13:25] ifireball- but that will install grub on my main hard drive wont it? I want to install grub to my external harddrive which is sdb. [13:25] whats a good amount of ram to run ubuntu [13:25] Does anyone know how to solve that shi~? [13:25] redfox: sdb is (hd0) [13:25] redfox: erm, sdb is (hd1) [13:25] redfox: the main drive is (hd0) as far as I can remember [13:26] redfox: HD0 is sda [13:26] Ubuntu2, I don't know.. 256 MB [13:26] Ubuntu2: 256 MB is a bit low for GNOME though, I would strive for 512 MB if you can, or use a lighter Ubuntu variant [13:26] Ubuntu2, You can probably get it running on 128 if you want. [13:27] scguy how much do u have [13:27] on the cd stand 384 [13:27] negativt: the last time I checked Gnome needs approx 196MB so anything above that should work [13:27] Ubuntu2: on this crappy laptop I have 512 MB [13:27] Jack_Sparrow- I want to install grub on the external hard drive (sdb). [13:27] Hi again [13:27] hi [13:27] ok [13:27] Anyone could help me configure apache? I have two users - regular and chrooted. When I open http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~optyk can I list files. On chrooted user (http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~kele) I get an 403 error, but I can access http://nexiu.homeftp.org/~kele/index [13:27] hello [13:27] ty [13:27] wols_, o.k. maybe i have to wait til wednesday... it would help me till then, just to get rid of my burning-problem. [13:28] Ah. [13:28] redfox: We understand that... Just pointing out that the drive numbers start with 0 so your second drive number would be hd1 for sdb [13:28] wols_, i tried to burn a dvd by brasero and nautilus. both return an error [13:28] I am an idiot. [13:28] luckybamboo: man apt-get, you could try to set the proxy on commandline itself or via environment variable. hoping it overrids the currently set proxy [13:28] ifireball, Well.. I didn't say anything about gnome :P He could use Ubuntu without the graphical interface :) [13:29] Optyk: try #apache [13:29] Jan`: now that you say it... [13:29] negativt: yeah right, with that kind of question he would... [13:29] jack_sparrow- ok, thanks [13:29] how do i check what motherboard i have, in Ubuntu? [13:29] ifireball: I tried: < DustyBin> Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu)<-- heres the problem [13:29] Optyk: what's the premissions of ~/public_html [13:29] wols_: Well, I just plugged the disk into this XP machine. And it seems to be able to read it. [13:29] * Jan` had no idea XP could read HFS+ disks [13:29] Jan`, can it o.O [13:29] lshw sidewalk [13:30] d'oh [13:30] negativt: When people ask about Ubuntu... It is assumed they are not talking about an alternate install without a gui [13:30] anybody in here use the Opera browser [13:30] xp cant read mac disks on its own, it requires special fs drivers i think?? [13:30] Jack_Sparrow, yeahyeah xD [13:30] wols_, maybe you mean man apt.conf? [13:30] brobostigon: That's what I thought, but I just plugged it in and it is giving me a directory listing. [13:30] Ubuntu2, WEll.. Not now, but I have used it yes. [13:30] wols_: 755 [13:30] Claims the filesystem is "RAW", in properties for the volume, but... it seems to work. [13:31] Optyk, Change it to 777 :D [13:31] and did u get java to work in Ubuntu [13:31] Jan`: that seems strange [13:31] Long live 777 [13:31] Very [13:31] Ubuntu2, Yes... [13:31] Optyk: he's full of it, the Ubuntu Apache is perfectly standard afaik, the config is modular in /etc/apache/conf.d but that's it. [13:31] luckybamboo: that too but I'd set it as a apt-get commandline parameter [13:31] luckybamboo: okay, I think I left you a bit hanging [13:31] Ubuntu2, Its easy as sitting on your bum.. [13:31] negativt: 42 is better :D [13:31] luckybamboo: status? [13:31] scguy318, what do you mean by status? [13:31] I go to the java home page its says I have the latest version but it does not work [13:31] can anyone help me install a GTK2 theme under xubuntu? I already have the tar.gz for the theme but do I need to install metacity or something to install and use it? [13:31] g0rb3h: now if it's an .exe file, how do I go about getting the .inf file? [13:32] luckybamboo: of your problem [13:32] Optyk, You cant have the own permissions set to 42.. [13:32] j_medic78: InstallShield? I would use unshield [13:32] so its not as cool :P [13:32] Ubuntu2, You got do install a plugin [13:32] scguy318, wols_ and i are wondering about the port of apt-get. it always wants to use port 8080 [13:32] Ubuntu2, hang on [13:32] j_medic78: if its a WinZIP executable extractor, then just open in file-roller [13:32] k [13:32] luckybamboo: set the HTTP proxy setting to use a diff port [13:32] Optyk: but check of perhaps you need to install some kind of an additional Apache module [13:32] <|DuReX|> ubuntu installed, but it has only LILO ? :( no GRUB ? :§ [13:33] Ubuntu2, do this in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" [13:33] k [13:33] or you can use synaptics [13:33] scguy318, i have no access onto the proxy [13:33] |DuReX|: it isntalls grub by default. if you have lilo you went out of your way [13:33] |DuReX|: HOw did you install it and where did you get the cd [13:33] |DuReX|: i didn't know it was even possible to install lilo in a fresh install [13:33] luckybamboo: yeah, but change the APT proxy setting to connect to the proxyd on the port that it listens on [13:33] indeedy what wols_ said [13:33] Hi, does anyone know how to calibrate a Touchscreen? [13:33] <|DuReX|> I used alternate cd [13:34] <|DuReX|> and it uses lilo :s [13:34] <|DuReX|> :s [13:34] luckybamboo: you said the proxy was on 1323 or some such? [13:34] dugbert: apt-get install grub [13:34] accor1: there are calibration utilities out there. check the forums there are many threads on this. sorry no direct linkage for you off the top of my head. [13:34] scguy318, i don't know the port. but be default it is 3128, isn't it? [13:34] holycow: thanks [13:34] by deafault [13:34] default [13:34] accor1: oh i remember i used an app called calibrator for it, you should be able to google it [13:35] luckybamboo: possibly [13:35] |DuReX|, sudo apt-get install grub && sudo apt-get remove lilo && update-grub [13:35] should work [13:35] anyway, I'm trying to install on an Asus R2H [13:35] hi all. how do i mount a bin/cue image? [13:35] <|DuReX|> i'm booting from an older desktop cd now :) [13:35] <|DuReX|> gonne try it :) [13:35] but search the forums anyway, they have excellent info on how to do it properly [13:35] negativt sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version it states [13:35] scguy318, how to change the proxy settings? [13:35] uwo: Loop mount it :P [13:35] x.org conf didn't come up properly, but I fixed it after consulting a guide [13:36] luckybamboo: System -> Prefs -> Network Proxy [13:36] Ubuntu2, Hm.. That leaves me a bit perplexed... [13:36] so should I report this as a bug somewhere? [13:36] negativt yes me to and for days [13:36] accor1: depends what you had to do [13:36] hello [13:36] Ubuntu2, What browser do you use?

[13:37] negativt 9.24 Opera [13:37] wols_: Oh, I misread that. [13:37] wols_: I added a few lines to xorg.conf [13:37] wols_: I though he said ISO :P [13:37] the puzzle is it works in firefox [13:37] Ubuntu2, that must be the problem. Cause I think "sun-java6-plugin" only installs the plugin for Firefox [13:37] scguy318, but that doesn't change anything. [13:37] wols_: I'm guessing it's the resolution line [13:37] hmmmm [13:37] accor1: guess? did you edit it or not? [13:37] luckybamboo: what's the line with the error? ill look it up [13:38] ok [13:38] wols_: I added a few lines [13:38] wols_: but I think it was the line that made the difference [13:38] ola [13:38] good day [13:38] b'day [13:38] does anyone have a clue why xmms would just stop loading mp3 files altogether ?

[13:45] tehcheez: it doens't installl [13:45] Hello chaps and chappesses. I have a command line install of ubuntu (it is actually the LAMP server, if this helps) and would like to have a GUI on top (might seem daft but that's freedom for you huh?!). Anyway. the girlfriend is using Xubuntu and I do like the clean lines of Xfce4. I done apt-get xfce4-panel and a whole host of other xfce related packages but don't know if I have them all,... [13:45] ...and am not sure how to get it started. Are there any easy answers? Thanks for any response. [13:45] Plus, would it be easier for me to install Xubuntu from scratch and then install a LAMP server on top? I am happy to tinker... but online documentation suggests installing as a full complement LAMP is a time-saver from config point of view..? [13:45] I'm not sure, I'm running FreeBSD. [13:45] luckybamboo: that'll do, yes [13:45] Optyk: if you didn't add any directive to tell Apache to actually chroot, then no, I don't think mod_chroot does anything [13:45] So I can't try it myself. [13:46] luckybamboo: make sure to run nmap as root of course [13:46] How do I get my prompt back in "terminal" after issuing a command to run in the background using "&"? [13:46] press return troythetechguy [13:47] troythetechguy: try fg :) [13:47] martyn_, see here on how to add X and WM you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [13:47] scguy318, that are the ports it listens to: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/25277/ [13:47] sn0, I tried that, but my screen just continues to scroll up. [13:47] Optyk: anyway read about Ubuntu's (Debian's) way of handling Apache in /etc/apache2/README; your config could be made a little more elegant (and potentially apt-maintainable) [13:47] Thanks very much Jowi - sorry to disturb... [13:47] Noya, I tried "fg" too, but all that happens is my screen scrolls up. [13:47] martyn_, you're not disturbing anyone. this is the support channel after all :) [13:48] OK - cheers bro. [13:48] troythetechguy: so you get output from the background process [13:48] troythetechguy: and thats why its scrolling? [13:48] Noya, Here is the command I'm running - sleep 15; ls | grep x* & [13:48] Jowi - quick reading that page now - goldmine. Thank you. [13:49] Noya, after I run the command, I don't have a prompt or cursor anymore. [13:49] martyn_, np [13:49] troythetechguy: thats because sleep isn't done in the background [13:49] scguy318, which process is apt-get using? squid-http? [13:49] Noya, Ah, I was wondering if the sleep command had something to do with it! [13:50] Hello, I have followed the tutorial [http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Code::Blocks_and_Cross_Compilers] to get Code::Blocks working with the MinGW cross compiler and debugger. However, when I run the debugger on Code::Blocks' console helloworld app, I get the following errors and there is no output in the console window.

I looking for any how to but I couldn't find it. [13:50] luckybamboo: I believe APT uses some libs to make HTTP CONNECT connection through the Squid server running on the other server [13:50] hi [13:50] Optyk: why are you trying to use chroot there anyway? [13:51] scguy318, so now i try: http_proxy=http://192.168.178.9:3128 apt-get ? [13:51] Noya, That works! :) Thank you. What does the 2 (&&) do? === masnet10 is now known as ce16_cimutz [13:51] luckybamboo: apt-get whatever you wanted to do with it [13:51] luckybamboo: but yes [13:51] how can i completely uninstall my wireless drivers?

[13:52] Optyk: I hope you're not thinking its gonna be more secure in any way, because it isn't. (BSD's chroot is different in that respect) [13:52] ubuntu [13:52] profoX`: they usually don't. sometimes there are backports for some things but nothing is guaranteed and they're not in ubuntu repos but in backports [13:52] troythetechguy: plus its seen as one command, so the whole command is run in background... [13:52] Noya, that makes sense. Thanks again! [13:52] troythetechguy: with ; its the same as you would type ENTER [13:52] underyx: fdisk -l and menu.lst in a pastebin please [13:52] Optyk: if you really want then constrained you should use something like OpenVZ or UML or Vserver [13:53] troythetechguy: np :) [13:53] Optyk: chroot possibly, though it's not much of a security measure [13:53] wols: I prepared them, but what's a pastebin? [13:53] !pastebin | underyx [13:53] underyx: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [13:53] Optyk: otherwise chroot will not provide any additional security over setting file permissions and not giving the root password... [13:53] Vserver is something similiar to vbox? [13:53] !paste | underyx [13:53] ok [13:54] Optyk: I don't know what Vbox is [13:54] VirtualBox I mean [13:54] And what should be the syntax? [13:55] Optyk: it is similar in some respects, but its an OS-lever virtualizer rather then a virtual machine [13:55] hi. how to install type1 fonts? i copy to ~/.fonts but it's not detected...

[14:36] should i be able to find the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules in ubuntu? [14:37] billy, no [14:37] Is Ubuntu really that much bigger than, say, Debian and openSUSE? [14:37] ed_, yeah, I switched from Gentoo about 6 months ago... having such a huge user base is great :) [14:37] is there an equivalent for ubuntu? im a linux noob, [14:37] wols_:how to use !paste ? [14:38] Yeah, openSUSE [14:38] ubotu, please tell replica about pastebin [14:38] billy: you should, but what are you trying to do [14:38] ed_: ubuntu is most used desktop linux in world [14:38] !paste | replica [14:38] replica: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [14:38] Billy: There are tons of equivalents to Ubuntu - type 'GNU/Linux' into google and you'll find some. [14:38] To name a few: Debian, openSUSE, mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Fedora... [14:38] wols_, i do wlanconfig to create an ath0 in monitor mode (after destroying it first) but it creates ath1 instead [14:39] ed_, cheers [14:39] wols_: thanx i needed libmpg123.so dont know why it wasn't there, i was playing mp3's fine the other day in it [14:39] Okies. [14:39] he wasn't asking for equivalent distros [14:39] oh? [14:39] hi [14:39] hi [14:39] !hi [14:39] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:39] billy: it's in the same directory /etc/udev/rules.d/ only the numbering is wrong iirc [14:39] ciao a tutti [14:40] I have small question [14:40] kann jemand hier deutsch [14:40] where "wrong" is kinda in the eye of the beholder [14:40] And thanks f00f and disastro. [14:40] !de | hasan [14:40] hasan: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [14:40] yesterday one of my desktops died, so I swapped the HD out from the dead one to this one. Ubuntu automatically configured itself to this hardware, and everything works out of the box, even the wireless card. :) [14:40] does anyone know a good defragging utility for ubuntu? [14:40] sandr-, don't need it, ext3 is a non-fragmenting file system. [14:40] wols_, there is a persistent-net-rules generator, for not a persistent-net-rules [14:40] sandr-, if you use ext3 you don't need defrag [14:40] how I can identified my name? [14:40] !defrag | sandr- [14:40] sandr-: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [14:40] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49976/ [14:41] replica: everything is there for compiz [14:41] sandr-, ...and "defrag" package is for ext2 if I'm not mistaken. [14:41] actually I mean a package to defrag my external NTFS disk [14:42] or do I need to hook it up to a windows system to do that? [14:42] replica: install compizconfig-settings-manager and any other compiz plugins you want [14:42] Ein_, have you registered? [14:42] no [14:42] sandr-, I believe you need to use windows, that would be best [14:42] !register > Ein_ [14:42] sandr-: I certainly would use ubuntu for defragging ntfs [14:42] Ein_, check your PM from ubotu [14:42] wols_: thx [14:42] how? [14:43] maybe it was possible, thx for the answers [14:43] !register | Ein_ here, [14:43] Ein_ here,: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [14:43] billy: delete ghe generator and this udev foolishness with interfaces ends [14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs [14:43] Is Ubuntu much better than Debian? What are the main differences? [14:43] i have just installed blogtk, t blog ob blogger, but its asking for a server, what do i use?? [14:43] !debian | ed_ [14:43] ed_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [14:43] wols_, thanks... ill give it a go [14:43] Thanks. [14:43] <|DuReX|> do i need to change my initramfs, when i use dmraid ? [14:44] I almost used those once :P [14:44] thanks... I'll try now [14:44] back now [14:44] wols: It has given another error yesterday, now it says "Compressed BOOTMRG" [14:44] dugbert: dpkg-reconfiguring the kernel package should be enough. but ubuntu might be different [14:44] underyx: windows error [14:44] hoe do i format a harddisk? [14:44] it is ntfs [14:44] :/ [14:45] Cnerd, do you want to make it which filesystem [14:45] cnerd: gprted [14:45] cnerd: gparted [14:45] ok [14:45] juj [14:45] huh [14:45] im new :p [14:45] I think the main differances between the distros can be summed up nicely by the maxim under the splash logo, "linux for human beings" [14:45] ouch [14:45] its a second disl [14:45] so, ext3? [14:46] has anyone ide how to fix failed to fetch error in feisty to ubuntu update? [14:46] yeah, ext3 is the usual choice. [14:46] is there a rename command for linux? or should ijust use mv? [14:46] ok, and, how do i use gparted? [14:46] Disastro, see if another mirror solves the prob [14:46] Cnerd, are you just trying to install linux? [14:46] billy, it's mv [14:46] !mirror | Disastro [14:46] Disastro: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [14:46] no [14:46] it is already installed === sandr- is now known as sandr [14:47] hmmm, that was not what I meant by mirror [14:47] how i change another mirror in internet update feisty to gutsy? [14:47] hm [14:47] right, the second link actually list them [14:48] Cnerd, if you don't already have it you need to install it with apt-get install gparted [14:48] no one there at that room :( [14:48] any way [14:48] is there any item I can add to the GNOME panel that will notify me when software updates are available? [14:48] Hey [14:48] irotas, it should do that out of the box [14:48] did any one use Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6? [14:49] irotas, you will see a update manager icon in the notification area when updates are available [14:49] Jowi: how i change the mirrors [14:49] Ein_, hopefully not [14:49] astro76: hmm, for some reason i've never seen that, but i've certainly used the upgrade manager many times to update my software === legosa is now known as xiven [14:49] msg NickServ identify d3c8v4 [14:50] whats the password of root???? [14:50] i've got other items in the notification area, just never software update notifications [14:50] !root | Cnerd [14:50] Cnerd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:50] Jowi: and when i use wget it downloads the packages.gz [14:50] xiven, change your password quickly [14:50] Hey [14:50] lol ubotu =) [14:50] Have you guys fixed the error with Windows Dual-Boot turning off NIC's yet? [14:50] wols_, didn't work :( even after a reboot [14:50] astro76: is there a way I could have turned off such a feature? i'd like to turn it back on :) [14:51] irotas, you could have removed the "notification area" applet from the panel [14:51] Cnerd: it is your password (password which was set for first user) [14:51] so sad... cuz I want to know what version of Original Ubuntu that Ubuntu Ultimate 1.6 use [14:51] astro76: no, that applet is still there [14:51] astro76: i've got 3 items in notification applet right now [14:52] billy_: grep -r ath /etc/udev/* [14:52] hai === legosa is now known as xiven [14:52] Disastro, you don't need to use wget. use "ap
