[00:00] BobCFC because root is the owner there is no way for me to access it [00:00] cyphase: same here .. might give it a try though, the screenlets package is nice, but a bit heavy on my limited CPU / RAM resources ;) [00:00] g'day mates [00:00] keech you there? [00:00] I am getting ready to install a 1 TB drive in my home server for sharing/storage and to run vmware. Any suggestions on a partitioning set up that would work well for my situation? [00:00] DJ_Cranky: what is the file/folder [00:00] DJ_Cranky: yousaid it was already samba group? [00:00] NewfieLinux: fixing to test now [00:00] k [00:00] so i might get kicked offline [00:00] !samba | ferbyboy [00:00] brb [00:00] ferbyboy: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[00:03] h [00:03] Y-Town: to get the most out of 4GB you'll need the 64-bit kernel.

[00:04] geforce 7000m i think [00:04] Y-Town: if you want to share files from your vmware guest and your ubuntu machine, then you'll need a FAT32 partition; suggest you make one 10 GB and mount it as /win-share, mount 40 GB as /virtual-disk ext3, and the rest /storage with xfs [00:04] whats the key to change viewports btw [00:04] its a nvidia [00:04] Tstantonfsu: do you have the Nvidia driver installed already?

Welcome! [00:11] thesilentwarrior you need to chmod 777 usershares not Share [00:11] legend2440: yeah i will give me just a sec [00:11] Oh, thanks kitche [00:11] if i upgraded from Ubunutu 7.04 to 7.10 from the Update Manager. Will data loss for any folder or files occur ? which means do i need to back up all my data? [00:11] zvacet: yes [00:12] DJ_Cranky: Share is the name of folder [00:12] i created [00:12] supertanker: history, BSD comes from the old UNIX code from 60s 70s, linux was started from scrath in 91 [00:12] LAU_: always good to back up, but don't expect any data loss [00:12] thesilentwarrior the folder needs to be called usershares in order for samba service to work with it [00:12] LAU: you should be ok, although a backup of your data is always handy [00:12] Ah [00:12] drash: I'm agree [00:12] Y-Town: ah, then create /boot with 150 MB ext, /home with 100 GB ext3, /win-share 40 GB FAT32, /vms 100 GB ext3, /storage 250 GB xfs, /swap 8 GB, /tmp 5 GB and / the rest. [00:13] * jokoon is away: [00:13] supertanker: BSD can run linux programs they are almost identical, but BSD is older and programs not so up to date... no compiz etc [00:13] does anyone know why my laptop can see my desktop but desktop can't see laptop on a network, but DAAP music shares work so its not a connection problem? [00:13] !away > jokoon [00:13] DJ_Cranky: same error >< [00:13] so i just upgrade and it will go rigth coz if i wanna backup i have around 25GB :SS: soo huge data? so do advise me to upgrade now witout backup? [00:13] BobCFC: umm actually your a bit wrong there [00:13] hi, i'm using a 248 MB pendrive to install ubuntu 8.04 I download boot.img.gz and mini.iso then did zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb1 (pendrive) but only 16 MB is the total space of the pendrive what i did wrong? [00:13] DJ_Cranky: maybe they don't like each other, except they have similar music tastes? [00:13] fyrestrtr: perfect thanks [00:13] LAU_: remember, data you haven't backed up is data you don't want [00:13] tuxone: know of any fixes for those by any change ? [00:14] fyrestrtr i wish it was that simple, only thing i can think of is bad samba on desktop? [00:14] sorry didn't know xchat do a /me on alt + a [00:14] Y-Town: not sure if those all add up :) Its 2 AM here. [00:14] DJ_Cranky: both machines are Linux? === ProN0ob is now known as ProN00b [00:14] both ubuntu 8.04 [00:14] kitche: compizfusion on bsd? well it was first exampe of modern program.. they are behind in version u must admit [00:14] fyrestrtr: No but I get the idea :o) [00:14] DJ_Cranky: then install ssh on both and forget samba. [00:15] * jokoon is away: dodo [00:15] Y-Town: basically split your file locations, you want a lot of swap for sure. [00:15] fyrestrtr would that allow me to share files? [00:15] BobCFC: not sure I know compiz is 0.6.2 and compiz-fusion is 0.6.0 [00:15] legend2440: Hosts file is http://paste.ubuntu.com/17349/ [00:15] whats a good ipod management software, rythmbox and banshee just mess things up [00:15] !botsnack [00:15] 7.6 just released [00:15] Yum!

[00:16] !anyone | ___Alex___ [00:16] ___Alex___: 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? [00:16] LAU_ Sounds like you dont backup very often.. no I would not upgrade without a backup [00:16] gen [00:16] Y-Town: putting the kernels in a separate partition helps for recovery, /home in separate helps when backing up, /win-share for sharing items between your vm guest and host; although strictly speaking, if your vmnet is setup correctly you can remove that partition. / should contain only things for the core system, /tmp -- I make it separate as well, but you can choose to combine it if you like. [00:16] zvacet: Thank Youi [00:16] legend2440: and the hostname is http://paste.ubuntu.com/17350/ [00:16] anyone have experience with install ubuntu with a usbdrive?

[00:18] f0rmat: i just transferred my files to another dive and am trying to reinstall 8.04 after video crashed [00:18] Y-Town: I'd put the virtual machines in a separate partition only because if you want to use (read: mount) the virtual machines from another box, it becomes easier. Although depending on how you want to use the system, if its going to be minimal use and just a vmhost, then you can even do more tweaking on the software side.

[01:10] anyone know why my ipw3945 isnt jiving? [01:10] Alright, I don't understand what I'm doing, and I really don't want to screw up my drives, thanks for the help [01:11] bazhang_, which one is nm-applet?

[01:12] Aintaer, yes [01:12] thesilentwarrior, oh sorry, do ps -Al | grep vino [01:12] Under the connections there, I have Wireless connection, under which it says roaming mode enabled. [01:12] Aintaer, can you open encryption to test [01:12] i want to reduce cpu usage. will xubuntu be a good idea? [01:12] thesilentwarrior, it should spit a line, something like 0 S 1001 6154 1 0 80 0 - 7667 - ? 00:02:25 vino-server [01:12] wers: what are you specs? [01:13] usser: exactly [01:13] wers or fluxbuntu [01:13] usser: i see that [01:13] bazhang_, how do I test [01:13] Isn't there a way to scan for networks? [01:13] peitschie, 1.5ghz celeron m [01:13] Aintaer, drop the wpa2, then from a terminal sudo dhclient wlan0 [01:13] hi, I'm trying to install the java package using dpkg -i sun-java6-jre_6-06-0ubuntu1_all.deb, but it has dependencies which I downloaded, and I can't figure out how to download them in one shot [01:13] thesilentwarrior, ok... hm when u connect u refer to the port or display number? ie do u put :5900 or :0 [01:13] Aintaer, let me get you a link [01:14] thesilentwarrior, after the ip [01:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Aintaer [01:14] peitschie, actually, i'm fine with gnome but i always run virtualbox. at some point, I have to sacrifice firefox or virtualbox for my system to run smoothly [01:14] hello! I was wondering if someone could recommend a newsreader [01:14] usser: atm, i just put the ip, on the ubuntu config it says, to connect do vncviwer silent-laptop:0 [01:14] wers: ahh. Well, virtualbox needs more ram. How much ram do you have? [01:15] peitschie, 512 mb [01:15] wers: I have the same issue running it on my laptop. As soon as I start running virtualbox it sucks up all my system memory === fyrestrtr is now known as fyre|sleep [01:15] thesilentwarrior, right so try vncviewer localhost:0 [01:15] wers: wow! thats evil lol. For virtualisation stuff you want at least 1.5Gb I reckon... I have issues on 1Gb [01:15] actually, everything is smooth if I just dont run firefox and vbox together [01:15] alexconrad: why not use Synaptic for installing sun-java6-jre ? [01:15] hello. Does anyone knows how to make the pidgin latex plugin work? [01:16] peitschie, i'm running some lite xp ;) [01:16] wers: yes. That is because firefox uses up a couple hundred megabytes of ram :-) [01:16] AlexCONRAD: .. that will take care of depencies [01:16] yeah but that's not the issue on fx3 [01:16] drash: i'm installing these package on a offline pc, I copied thoses packages from a usb key [01:16] if only swap can fix this [01:16] wers: you can try xubuntu, i'd recommend fluxbuntu personally... but yer... I am not sure if that would make enough difference in ram. I'd recommend getting a least 1Gb of ram :) [01:17] wers: a lighter windows manager such as xubuntu would help.... but you're still squeezing to fit all that stuff in memory [01:17] usser: [01:17] peitschie, yeah. i dont want fluxbuntu because i dont believe in the quality of those derivatives. hehe [01:17] usser: works [01:17] usser: nasty effect tho [01:17] wers: xubuntu is also a derivative ;) [01:17] thesilentwarrior, infinite loop eh :) [01:18] thesilentwarrior, try the same from the desktop, vncviewer ip:0 [01:18] peitschie, it's an official one and much more people work on it [01:18] wers: well... yes there definitely is that :) [01:18] when i mount my 500gig hard drive, it only has root access, chmod will not let me change the permissions on the hd, and i can't figure out how to use my hd. [01:18] AlexCONRAD: i see .. haven't done this myself, but did you try putting it on a cd-rom and using that via Synaptic ? [01:18] usser: works now, wtf, what changed? didnt notice [01:18] yeah. i'll see if there's a ram usage difference. i'll buy more ram as soon as resources permit peitschie [01:19] drash: nop, how can I do that ? [01:19] I'm not sure java is on the CD [01:19] usser: thanks for the help mate =) [01:19] thesilentwarrior, :0 at the end? [01:19] usser: hmm, i have to include it always? [01:19] hey everybody [01:19] thesilentwarrior, sometimes ip is not enough cause vnc can use different ports ip by default links to 5900, vnc can run on 5800 and such [01:19] this is my 1st time to use irb~ [01:20] wers: good luck :-). If you're ever interested, have a look at ram and swap usage when running virtual box. As soon as it starts eating into swap, things always slow down really bad for me :) [01:20] exit [01:20] thesilentwarrior, :0 just maps to the first available remote display [01:20] usser: i see, xD would have never guessed [01:20] peitschie, been doing that. you're right. though i've been eating 100%cpu at some point, the real issue is ram [01:20] AlexCONRAD: open Synaptic, use the menu item 'settings' > repositories > third party tab has a 'add cd-rom' option .. === kaoticsnow|away is now known as kaoticsnow === SiftLinux is now known as Siftaway [01:24] is there a way to tell if your running 32-bit or 64-bit? [01:24] nicknock: uname -m [01:25] nicknock: if that says x86_64, it's 64-bit [01:25] if it's 64 bit what is the best way to convert it back to 32bit? [01:26] nicknock: reinstall [01:26] can i reinstall right on top of it? [01:26] nicknock: you have to use the x86 cd [01:27] what is the best way to copy 35Gb of files (a copy of a linux home directory) from an Apple iMac to my linux machine running Ubuntu 8.04? I've tried making an ftp link in nautilus - it just says "can't read file" or "file doesn't exist". I've tried gFTP - that just crashes with "segmentation fault". I'm trying with Krusader now - it is sort of working, but it is so slow, estimating up to 4 days to complete... If I try to [01:27] nicknock: the partition will be formated by the installler I think [01:27] Okay this is strange [01:27] I appear to have two wireless interfaces [01:27] wlan0 and wmaster0 [01:28] trying to set parameters on wmaster0 gives no private ioctls [01:28] 64-bit has a lot of problums correct? [01:28] its the same thing! [01:28] Aintaer, *sigh* its not strange no more [01:28] Aintaer, do u have intel wireless? [01:29] nicknock: I have no problems with 64-bit, although getting java to work took a little more effort than on the 32-bit version [01:29] nicknock: well flash and some windows codecs are trickier to setup. [01:29] CorpseFeeder: you can copy files over ssh using scp [01:29] usser, nope, I have an RT2500 [01:29] nicknock: but I haven't tried 64bit recently [01:29] Aintaer, Just ignore wmaster0 and focus on wlan0 [01:29] yea i think i installed the 64-bit and dvd isn't working nor skype. [01:30] nicknock: well the dvd problem is probably not related to 64bit [01:30] !dvd [01:30] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:30] trying to iwpriv wlan0 to set WPA key returns "no private ioctls." [01:30] Aintaer, oh in any case wmaster0 is a virtual interface disregard it [01:31] nicknock: but I always use x86. the loss in performance is minimal in most cases [01:32] nicknock: unless you have 4GB of RAM or more I think [01:32] Aintaer, What are you trying to accomplish with iwpriv? [01:32] Trying to set WPA PSK [01:32] yea witch i wish i did use the x86 [01:32] nicknock: the only reason i use 64bit is because i have 8gb, to be honest 32bit would make life easier [01:33] in command line how can i check wat version of linux of have [01:33] uname -a [01:33] b0xxy: lsb_release [01:33] nicknock: if you have 3 or less use 32bit [01:33] b0xxy, lsb_release -a [01:33] that's why i'm going to down grade. [01:33] Aintaer, you could install wpa_supplicant and use the networkmanager applet I believe [01:34] what about windows games is that a pain to get going? [01:34] Ahadiel, I believe I already have the wpa_supplicant [01:35] Aintaer, Then is WPA not working or something? [01:35] Well it seems like I can't get any networks to show up [01:35] damn I can't believe I missed Splitpaw [01:36] Aintaer, does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' return anything? [01:36] can anybody tell me how to set a share from the terminal [01:36] Hmm [01:36] It returns one thing [01:36] nicknock: well it depends... sometimes pretty tricky, sometimes impossible. If gaming is important, keep a windows partition and dual boot [01:36] that is not my router [01:36] hey guys, i just did a dist upgrade from 7.10. great job on the wireless drivers; my broadcom wifi was set up instantly... but i am having trouble with my audio - the sound quality is terrible.. there is alot of static.. [01:36] ESSID is some USR router [01:36] Aintaer, Is your router broadcasting it's ESSID? [01:36] * BobCFC note to self.. dont press Alt-F4 to change desktop when you mean Super-F4 [01:37] Ahadiel, I thought it was, but how do I make sure? [01:37] nicknock: if it's only WoW, you should be able to get it working in linux and won't have to reboot in windows for example [01:37] Can I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 in a wubi installation? [01:37] Aintaer, Do you have any other wifi capable devices? Or you can check your router's web configuration. [01:37] is there any sites for hardware bug reports ? [01:37] Ahadiel, yeah, I have a psp [01:37] it can find the router just fine [01:38] so can this laptop [01:38] nicknock: try launchpad [01:38] greetings... I wondered how I can add some text to the "Notes" tab in file properties using the command line :D [01:38] Aintaer, Well, I don't know what else to tell you if sudo iwlist wlan0 scan shows a ESSID. [01:38] an* [01:38] Can I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 in a wubi installation? === Adsdob is now known as Bodsda [01:39] Segadude, probably [01:40] Whats the risk?

[01:44] A2intaer, Have you tried connecting yet? [01:44] Bodsda, Ahadiel: is the latest stable in the default ubuntu repo. ? [01:44] DjViper, probably [01:44] DjViper, Most likely, just try sudo apt-get install pidgin amsn [01:45] heyhey! [01:45] well I have pidgin, so I thought I'd give amsn a spin [01:45] Internets!

I just installed 8.04LTS on my Toshiba Satellite 5205-S703, a notoriously finicky laptop for GNU/Linux, and it all went fine, except for one thing: [02:02] <_Brun0_> hi all. I was the user that was complaining about "username is not in the sudoers file". I did what tritium said: reboot in recovery mode and do: useradd bruno admin. It worked so i came back to thank you guys. [02:03] BobCFC: nexuiz, alien arena, both good :) [02:03] I write a error word [02:03] sorry [02:03] BobCFC, I think i know what the problem is. I'm using gparted which is installed on my hd... [02:03] Duh! [02:03] anyone have any idea why might my video card not be showing up in the hardware component list in hardware drivers? [02:03] Well I could try nexuiz instead but I also get the same problrm with regnum [02:03] kay * reboots on cd. Thanks for the help you guys are great. Ubuntu! =) [02:03] NewfieLinux: That is also in the repos [02:04] When I close the lid and re-open it, the display doesn't start again and I have strange vertical lines down the screen [02:04] in nautilus... when rightclicking a file, there is a "Notes"-tab..

[02:06] edburns: what is your laptop being told to do when you shut the lid, and what is the computer? [02:06] NewfieLinux: what regnum? [02:06] Once I close the lid, I have to re-boot to get my display to work again. [02:06] yes and I do, mgetty needs to be started at boot, I would normally add SX:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vgetty ttySX to inittab, but it appears ubuntu works differently . can you tell me how to add a server at boot?

[02:07] Well the good news is the network is working [02:07] lemonlaw95: maybe === alan__m is now known as Alan_M [02:07] i mean non-admins [02:07] the bad news is, the transmission rates are way below those in Windows [02:07] or whatever [02:07] anyone have experience with Adesso graphics tablets working LIKE a tablet on Ubuntu?

[02:07] BCM43: mgetty needs to be started at boot, I would normally add SX:345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vgetty ttySX to inittab, but it appears ubuntu works differently . can you tell me how to add a server at boot?

[02:07] ok [02:08] PCcertified: this is on a desktop machine? try session manager [02:08] BCM43: ShackJack I don't think it's hibernating, becuse I have some samba exported drives and I can continue to access them even with the lid closed. [02:08] i have a radeon x1950 pro 512mb agp card. (oh joy) does anyone know how to make one of them work in linux mint? [02:08] Hmmmm not sure how to use that i there a doc [02:08] BobCFC, at the bottom of this page it tells what command field http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-23048.html [02:08] edburns: it must be going to sleep [02:08] BCM43: ShackJack: sorry, samba exported drives [02:08] edburns: You can see what the setting is under Power Management [02:08] is there any fix for the agressive hard drive parking on laptops? [02:09] someone? [02:09] BCM43: But how could it be going to sleep if I still can read and write files to the exported drives? [02:09] cylux: just checked, my xubuntu and ubuntustudio both return ubuntu .. [02:09] adamorjames: ok i was on wrong tab... [02:09] edburns: you should be able to do that in sleep mode. hibernate and suspend will not let you [02:09] BobCFC, I need to know so I can search for it in the file you told me about (gdm.conf) [02:10] does anyone here know how to get a radeon x1950 pro agp to work? [02:10] adamorjames: xserver command is: /usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 [02:10] BCM43: thanks for the short answer [02:10] lemonlaw95: This is an ubuntu chat... you should prolly use theres. but try the "Hardware Drivers" under Admin... it should tell you if you can use a restricted driver for it...

I'll certainly check the power modes, but would it still work if the samba exported drives are actually coming from an externally mounted USB drive that is from which I am running a VMWare Solaris 10 virtual machine?

[02:12] i've already done that [02:12] PCcertified: lol [02:12] and it didn't work [02:12] yuri_: You might be having trouble with PulseAudo - you can switch under sound settings (Alsa) to see if that makes an improvement... [02:12] BCM43: Can you give me a clue on how to find the specific preference you recommend I inspect? [02:13] ShackJack: i have tried every combination in the sound prefs... no difference [02:13] edburns: try telling it to go to sleep without closing the lid === kaoticsnow is now known as kaoticsnow|away [02:13] hello all.

[02:33] back in a fewe [02:33] loner269: not that simple. look at the tutorial. and please use my full username. thanks [02:34] harpreet: the tutorial explains how to get wep working [02:34] BobCFC: I have given up trying to copy the files over the network (which is 802.11G wireless) as it is far too slow. This is why I want to try a crossover cable. [02:34] is it? [02:34] harpreet: wpa too [02:35] BCN43: What i actually would like to do for example. I want to be able to access /user from the /myth folder, so when i open my ftp client i see the myhth folder then i see the user folder within it. [02:35] man, these are like, dialup speeds. [02:35] CorpseFeeder: the quickest ways are copy over ssh or using samba.. you can use windows protocol to share without a windows pc [02:35] Aintaer: did you get my link? [02:35] BCM43: yeah [02:35] but I'm waiting on 12 days worth of package updates [02:35] Heya. I'm looking at downloading ubuntu for an x86_64 machine. Should I get the one that's amd64 or i386? [02:35] Aintaer: did you try it? [02:35] which include kernel updates === justin_ is now known as echelon` [02:36] CorpseFeeder: can you ping the mac from the linux box over the cable? [02:36] Aintaer: ok. [02:36] I figure I should update the kernel first, then change modules [02:36] Anyone here can help me with a horrible screen tearing when i try to enter console mode through ctrl-alt-f1 ? [02:36] only 12 more minutes to wait! [02:36] is ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 on the 8.04 cd? [02:36] how am i supposed to apt-get when i dont have internet lol [02:36] BobCFC: yeah.. ok.. but how do I get the computers to "see" each other in the first place? I have the computers side by side and a crossover cable linking them. I am unsure how to set up the connection. I can't ping either. [02:37] im trying to start ProFTPd server and i get the error "- warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hostname.com'" i have changed the hostname several times to diff things and i still get the same error, any ideas on how to get it working ? === e|mer is now known as elmer [02:37] oh yeah, is 8.04 still TLS? [02:37] How can I add myself to the group "vboxusers"? [02:37] BCN43: What i actually would like to do for example. I want to be able to access /user from the /myth folder, so when i open my ftp client i see the myhth folder then i see the user folder within it. [02:37] aixenv: do you have a direct cable? [02:37] Bob24: it it BCM43 [02:37] BCM43: i could do that i guess.. i didnt wanna go into the other room i was watching the finals :) [02:37] aixenv: ah [02:37] Bob24: you could try a symlink [02:37] CorpseFeeder: if it is a real crossovercable i think you can just give them static IP adresses on the SAME SUBNET [02:37] can anyone watch their myth content with totem? [02:38] BCM43: ill go connec to the cable [02:38] Bob24: not sure [02:38] ill brb if it doesnt/does work [02:38] ello? [02:38] hi echelon` [02:38] how would i go about replacing pulseaudio with esd in hardy? [02:38] i have a question about screen tearing when i try to get into a tty [02:38] through ctrl-alt-f1 [02:39] ew esd [02:39] i thought it was a screen refresh rate isssue [02:39] !enter | echelon` [02:39] ew pulseaudio [02:39] echelon`: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:39] Aintaer: i have symlinked them, but i cant open their folders or copy to them from an ftp client. [02:39] * randall is back (gone 00:00:30) [02:39] but i don't think it is as i've tried every resolution possible [02:39] * randall is away: I'm busy [02:39] Bob24: ah, hmm.. [02:39] !away > randall [02:39] only iin the terminal [02:39] I am using banshee, but I can't find "Internet Radio" plugin [02:39] this is banshee-0.99.3 [02:39] andar: I agree, I just stick to ALSA [02:40] The solution I have is to add a pulseaudio -k command when it starts [02:40] whatever. never mind [02:40] that kills the pulseaudio server and leaves everything to alsa again. [02:40] yell at me for enter keys instead of trying to help. i've tried everything. i can't even access the console cuz the tearing is so bad i can't even read the text [02:41] Aintaer: any auggestions? === kaoticsnow|away is now known as kaoticsnow [02:41] BobCFC: ok, I can ping them now... [02:41] Bob24: I don't see how to get around the FTP client treating symlinks as files [02:41] CorpseFeeder: nice one. you can try ur copy again.. what did u try ftp? [02:41] echelon`: what is your videa card? [02:41] Which is what I assume is happening? [02:41] Aintaer: my problem is that nvsound + pulseaudio causes a hard lock [02:42] nvsound being an OSS module [02:42] Aintaer: They are actually folders would that be different? [02:42] Bob24: are you sure it's not a permissions problem? [02:43] There needs to be a way to disable pulseaudio from starting [02:43] Bob24: but they are link to folders [02:43] I couldn't find it [02:43] Aintaer: go to session manger [02:44] Hey, it is a lul [02:44] BCM43: Aye, I see the pulse audio session management [02:44] but that's not where it's starting the PA server [02:45] Aintaer: what would "l" mean in front of the permissions [02:45] Aintaer: is this the ubuntu session manger? [02:45] Bob24: l = symbolic Link [02:45] Aintaer: there is a file in /etc/init.d/pulseaudio it starts as a service on runlevels [02:45] BCM43: wait, sorry, wrong thing [02:45] nvidia geforce go [02:45] wait [02:46] Aintaer: since it changed to upstart im fuzzy about preventing daemons but its in there [02:46] ugh. [02:46] why is pulseaudio the default sound daemon anyway [02:46] It doesn't seem mature enough for general usage [02:47] yea [02:47] Aintaer: then all the permissions should be ok it has this on all of them lrwxrwxwrx which is all ok. [02:47] can i simply apt-get remove pulseaudio ? [02:47] Aintaer: one benefit for me is that my USB headphones show up as a second soundcard.. now i can tell any application to use the headphones... also you can change sound levels for each app individually [02:47] Bob24: I meant the permissions on the files they are pointing to [02:47] andar: sudo apt-get remove -purge pulseaudio [02:48] FTP user might not have enough permissions to get into those [02:48] can anyone help me with getting my iphone to work with ubuntu? I already tried all the stuff in the ubuntu guide [02:48] Aintaer: so if /user is linked to /myth, u mean the persmissions of user correct? [02:48] correct [02:48] AnthroTechie: i believe it only works if you jailbreak it [02:49] and all the subdirectories within /usr [02:49] err [02:49] I mean /user [02:49] weeeeeeeeeeeee [02:49] BobCFC: I already did that. . . [02:49] Aintaer: they are all ok lrwxrwxrwx. [02:49] Wait what [02:49] the targets for the symlinks should not be symlinks. [02:49] BobCFC:Tried to connect to network server, with FTP and SSH... it keep saying "File unavailable" right after it counts up the files to copy :( [02:50] luderacer: please stop [02:50] luderacer Did you have a ubuntu support related question [02:50] BobCFC: plus I already did the stuff in the ubuntu guide for ipods and iphones, except for putting my IP address in [02:50] CorpseFeeder: is it a permissions issue? [02:50] nopers [02:51] just tad drunk [02:51] sorry was /amsg :P [02:51] I'm having a problem getting sound to work in 8.04, It did work in 6.06. It's a Creative Labs SB Audigy LS and google points to a ca0106 module. I've modprobe'd it, compiled it from source, rebooted.. I'm really at the end of what I know/what Google tells me. Hints? [02:51] luderacer: then please stop desturbint the channel [02:51] BobCFC: no. [02:51] lmao [02:51] Jack_Sparrow: ty [02:51] AnthroTechie: you can use Amarok in KDE, Rythmbox in GNOME, or use gtkpod to transfer files on/off your ipod [02:52] hurr, which is the default runlevel for ubuntu and how can I check these things? [02:52] BCM43 np [02:52] buntunub: it's a jesus phone [02:52] Aintaer: ok, so what i have done was ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/video /home/ftpusers/myth so i was supposed to do ls -s /home/ftpusers/myth /var/lib/mythtv/video correct? [02:52] Aintaer: 2 use 'runlevel' to see your current runlevel. Also, runlevels 2-5 are identical by default [02:52] Jack_Sparrow: now he is pming me. how do i block him? [02:53] /ignore thatgoofball [02:53] hey i just set up a fresh install of hardy heron, but now my firefox isn't starting correcty [02:53] onthefence928: what does it do? [02:53] when ever i try to start it it just creates an orphaned process [02:53] Bob24: the first argument should be the target directory [02:54] na doens't load up in any usable way [02:54] the second should be the link's name [02:54] onthefence928: if you run it from the terminal it should give you an error message [02:54] Rabbitbunny: thanks [02:54] BCM43: np [02:55] buntunub: I already tried that, but I have an iphone === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:55] can anyone help solve my boot problem, or recommend a way to use LILO on ubuntu [02:55] Bob24: so what your first command there would do is make a link at /home/ftpusers/myth to /var/lib/mythtv/video [02:55] not sure bout that then [02:55] BobCFC: wierd now my terminal isn't loading [02:56] !tab > onthefence928 [02:56] Aintaer: so thats assuming i want to see everything in /myth correct? [02:56] duh1337: what's the problem with grub? [02:57] I installed ubuntu on a new 80GB HD, didn't read the last option under advanced, and wrote grub to my windows drive (500GB). I don't have any two operating systems on a single drive, and don't know what to do [02:57] Bob24: that assumes that when you ftp in, your directory is /home/ftpusers/ [02:57] grub gives error 17 [02:57] BCM43: thanks, but why'd u send me that? [02:57] I reinstalled grub to the correct drive, and I can see my boot options, but still get error 17 [02:57] Aintaer: ok yep thats ok [02:57] hello [02:57] duh1337: you can reinstall grub from the livecd without reinstalling the whole ubuntu [02:57] onthefence928: i could tell you were copy and pasteing the nicknames [02:58] Well, I have reinstalled the whole ubuntu, and reinstalled grub, and they both didn't change anything [02:58] Bob24: then you should check your /var/lib/mythtv/video directory's permissions [02:58] hi everyone i am trying to load ubuntu to my sony pcg-fx150k laptop but after select install from the install menu the screen just turned blank with a blinking line on top left [02:58] BCM43: interesting, well any idea on my problem? [02:58] Aintaer: ok so ln - s /home/ftpusers/myth /var/lib/mythtv/video correct? [02:58] who can help me ? [02:58] I wanted it to be easy, I just wanted to select the correct HDD from my boot picker and it would load [02:58] duh1337: sounds like you bios isn't point to grub maybe? which hard disk is first in the boot sequence? [02:58] also, how do you check on your swap disk partition? [02:58] Bob24: where are you trying to go? [02:58] onthefence928: i have not been following carefully, so no sorry [02:59] onthefence928: free [02:59] I have a program ? [02:59] The windows HDD is first, but I select every time usually [02:59] onthefence928: put that in therminal [02:59] onthefence928: **terminal [02:59] I have tried selecting the Windows (500) and the linux (80) [02:59] Aintaer: to be able see /videos in /myth. [02:59] ask | cjkall_ [02:59] BCM43: my terminal isn't loading :( [02:59] !ask | cjkall_ [02:59] cjkall_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:59] Question, is there a better documented fax program I can use with UBUNTU? my voice-modem is setup correctly, but I'm having a difficult time finding simple answers for mgetty. [03:00] Bob24: then you should do ln -s /videos /myth [03:00] onthefence928: try clicking again [03:00] onthefence928: xterm? [03:00] hello PCcertified [03:00] Bash scripting is basically python?

[03:01] ola gata [03:01] Has anyone here successfully set up a fax or answering machine in Ubuntu 8.04? [03:01] Oh yeah, I should check if Enlightenment has made any progress [03:01] Aintaer: ok so to remove a previous link i would type rm in front correct? [03:01] I have a Windows server behind my office firewall and I'm temporarily hosting a website on it. I also have a Ubuntu box at a datacenter. What tool should I use to portscan for the port 80 of my office IP from the ubuntu box? [03:01] amit`: there are books and tutorials and such, it is similar to shell languages, limited internal features, meant generally as a way of connecting external apps together [03:01] is anyone really good at solving issues with iphone and ubuntu? I've already gone through the official guide on how to do it, but I'm still having problems [03:01] Bob24: which is the real directory and which is the symlink? [03:01] onthefence928: press ctrl+alt+F1, wait a moment, then press ctrl+alt+F7. See that screen that brought up? That's a terminal. [03:02] tj83: I chose Ubuntu cuz it's supposed to be newbie friendly and I'm beginning to regret my choice [03:02] Any suggestions as to where I can start bruenig? [03:02] Me too, hahaha [03:02] duh1337: i think you need to restore the bootrecord on the windows disk but you should still be able to boot linux?

[03:03] i have recently mounted a secondary HDD and when i try to put files in it, it says i dont have permission to do that???WTF?? [03:03] tj83: for me, Ubuntu is a whole new learning curve. [03:03] I'm thinking about going to fedora as well, the only ubuntu I can get is from the live CD [03:03] PCcertified: it is rather simple for linux [03:04] Aintaer: im in the /myth directory. [03:04] PCcertified I havent tried fedora so I wouldnt know. [03:04] Bob24: okay so then which one is the symlink? [03:04] onthefence928: ...You should be getting a login prompt at tty1. There's a keycombo to bring up a little thingy like Windows Start>Run, lemme look it up.

[03:05] BCM43: if it's so easy, why has it taken me 8 days to setup 4 hardware devices, and only one of them is working [03:05] BCM43: nah, not tty1, there's one that lets you run a single command without ever leaving the gui.

[03:13] ext3 is the filesystem [03:13] sweet hoppin back on the laptop :) [03:13] and why my terminal is acting wierd unless i get to it using xterm or ctrl-alt-f1 [03:13] !permissions > scifiguy951 (read the private message from ubottu) [03:13] amenado: I have used mgetty before with fedora [03:13] scifiguy951, does it saw mode rw or r [03:13] PCcertified-> have you ever setup a dial-in/dial-out modem with linux? <-- the basics first, before whatever the VOCP is [03:13] how could i change that [03:13] onthefence928... ouch.. sounds out of my league. sorry [03:13] how did you test it [03:13] saw = say [03:14] Can anybody help me with playing wmv? [03:14] scifiguy951: use chmod/chown appropriately to set the permissions you want (see ubottu's link). Feel free to ask questions if you aren't sure about something after reading the link [03:14] scifiguy951: i think you mounted it to a folder like /media/mydisk or /mnt/mydisk that only root can access? [03:14] where in terminal? [03:14] !restricted > puff (read the private message from ubottu) [03:14] especially the ones helping you... [03:14] scifiguy951, did you modify any permissions in /dev ? [03:14] onthefence928: press alt+f2, type firefox on the box, click 'run in terminal', click 'run' [03:14] amenado: I installed it from synaptic, but it appears it did not set it up to start at boot and I can't find the inittab to add it manually. [03:14] no [03:14] when i try to sudo chmod -r 777 /media/job [03:14] how do i do that? [03:14] RAbbitbunny: how could i change that [03:14] fit, it was like, there. [03:14] genii: i try to edit smb.conf [03:14] PCcertified-> ubuntu does not use inittab anymore.. [03:14] i changed the hostname of my server to 192.168.1.146 which is the ip that the router assigned it, and now i am unable to connect to it via putty, how could i repair it withoit phyisicaly being near the server? [03:14] amenado: I will repeat this one more time....YES YES YES [03:14] scifiguy951: read the link ubottu gave you so you can understand how permissions work [03:14] gordonjcp: not unless using the graphical update-thingy, no [03:15] probably. [03:15] jrib: Yeah, that's the page I followed in setting up wmv codecs. [03:15] duh1337: does this mean that both the iphone and your computer need to have a static ip address? [03:15] Bob24: You'd have to either man your_ftpd, or hopefully google will hep you find the help documentation. do you know the name of the ftpd? [03:15] PCcertified-> okay, and where is it failing in terms of mgetty? [03:15] scifiguy951: which is the mount point? which directory? [03:15] amenado: I stated earlier I have used mgetty with Fedora successfully. mgetty is used for modems, fax and voice [03:15] puff: and? [03:15] I do not know how to start it as a server at boot [03:15] amen [03:15] amenado: [03:15] Rabitbunny: its Pure-Ftpd [03:16] jrib: As I said before, I installed drivers for wmv support, but I get this odd freeze-frame effect with the video. The audio plays normally, but it's as if I'm getting a still frame every 10 seconds (synchronized more or less with the audio). [03:16] PCcertified, add it to the right runlevel in /etc/init.d [03:16] Bob24, he should run mount in a terminal window and post the line, hmmm? [03:16] PCcertified-> have you tried to google for "alternative to inittab in ubuntu" ? [03:16] AnthroTechie: a static IP doesn't change, I can be witness that it doesn't require a static IP, but it might be helpful, you can find a guide to set it up. You need to modify some settings in your router, your computers, and your iPhone. It is a lot of work to get SSH to work. [03:16] PCcertified, as a script..i believe you know how that could be done [03:16] amenado: Sorry for beeing frustrated, but searching for answers for days now, and I can't set up what should be a simple application [03:16] hello anyone know what I can do to get the intel 3945 wireless card working? [03:16] oh [03:16] puff: k, I have no idea about that. I thought you just asked for help playing wmv. Be sure you are specific when you repeat [03:16] now playing metro staiton shake it [03:16] BobCFC, he should run mount in a terminal window and post the line, hmmm?

[03:18] Hello, i just updated ubuntu kernel to "linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic", but it did not show up in the grub list on boot up. [03:18] Zikiti... has the wireless ever worked? [03:18] PCcertified-> and you have learned inittab is not used on most recent ubuntu anymore eh? [03:18] Is there any way to add that to the grub boot up list? [03:18] Hey, my GFX Driver isant working. I don't install something, and it detects it fine my monitor ect.. but then it breaks once I install my nvidia drivers. [03:18] amenado: my modem is working, it's just trying to get an application that works [03:18] tj83, Ubuntu changed the drivers with hardy [03:18] they worked fine in gutsy [03:18] anirudh0: ODd, it says mplayer isn't installed. I thought mplayer was the default video player. [03:18] Scooma: yes if he knows the name. i think his mount point is owned by root [03:18] PCcertified, init.d is a directory that holds scripts that are run automatically at boot time(at the right runleve)..if you open up some of those scripts, you'd see that they are ordinary bash scripts [03:18] puff: totem is the default [03:18] amenado: figured that out 16 hours ago [03:18] jrib: ah. [03:18] puff, no [03:18] I'm having a problem getting sound to work in 8.04, It did work in 6.06. It's a Creative Labs SB Audigy LS and google points to a ca0106 module. I've modprobe'd it, compiled it from source, rebooted.. I'm really at the end of what I know/what Google tells me. Hints? [03:19] FunkyLarge: manually change it in /boot/grub/menu.list, it's only a few 17 to 18 changes [03:19] puff, install mplayer-nogui [03:19] * Scooma nods [03:19] duh1337: my computers, and everyone elses computer in my wireless network, and the router, is set up for DHCP. does this mean I'll have to change to all of that?

[03:20] FunkyLarge: yes, that's all [03:20] thanks [03:20] too much traffic today ;/ [03:20] AnthroTechie: You do not have to, but if you want static IP than yes. Static IP is the opposite of DHCP. you assign the IP rather than the server assigning it. Just get the IP from the phone under the wireless network you are connected to and type it in. You really don't need static IP, I don't use it [03:21] amenado: true [03:21] drash, thanks, but how do i make a backup of the menu.lst [03:21] anirudh0: it's a thinkpad t43p with a rage ATI.

[03:22] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [03:22] FunkyLarge: Jack_Sparrow showed you the command [03:22] Malik_: ccsm [03:22] Though x11 seemed to workfine. [03:22] Can anyone help me with grub? [03:22] puff, whatever works..xv is best,then x11, then sdl , then gl [03:22] so i jus go there and type ccsm? [03:22] FunkyLarge you can change the destination to anything you like [03:22] !ccsm [03:22] ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [03:23] x11 worked better than gl. [03:23] duh1337: what's the problem with grub ? any errors ? [03:23] how i run a hard drive repaier to fix hard drive err or bad sector like windows 98 scan disk did bak in day [03:23] amenado: the problem is after using dpkg to install mgetty, the application is still not setup. and the instructions for mgetty is usually for redhat [03:23] what i got on ubuntu 8? [03:23] drash: yes, I installed ubuntu on a new 80GB HD, didn't read the last option under advanced, and wrote grub to my windows drive (500GB). I don't have any two operating systems on a single drive, and don't know what to do [03:23] duh1337: okay, I tried that already, can I show you results? I forget where to cut and paste command line outputs, I don't want to flood that channel [03:23] Odd about xv. [03:23] any one [03:23] :( [03:23] Malik_: oh you mean install.. i thought u meant run? [03:23] no install [03:23] How would I get firefox to use -vo x11? [03:23] how do i install it to get the cool cube [03:23] puff, change setting in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf to apply globally to all files [03:23] Malik_: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [03:24] and thats a package rite [03:24] Malik_: yes [03:24] '< [03:24] puff, what do you mean..why should firefox use video..or do you mean flash? [03:24] puff: you could install mozilla-mplayer and set x11 in its preferences [03:24] PCcertified-> okay, can even try to dial out? how many serial ports does your host have? [03:24] Anthro: I'm not sure, can you just tell me the jist of what its saying? I'm an apple guy, not a ubuntu guy, so I can't help if the problem is with ubuntu [03:24] Malik_: you need to have 3D drivers working first [03:24] wta if i already downlaodeed it is it the same command [03:24] hi [03:24] any one see my q [03:24] anirudh0: When you view a video file in firefox.

[03:25] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager....with this command it will install it all or do i need to do anytin else??? [03:25] !fsck [03:25] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:25] ray__, i mean run sudo fsck -fv /dev/ [03:25] amendo thats a good question, it's PCI modem V92 voice+fax. it runs on /dev/modem [03:25] sorry..gksudo [03:26] an if got only one hard drive how i finde name of it [03:26] Malik_: it installs a program to config the advanced options.. compiz is installed in hardy but you need 3D drivers such as nvidia enabled to run it [03:26] amendo, I'll look more into the syntax of init.d and get back to you [03:26] PCcertified-> and this is not one of those software modems right?

[03:29] puff: feel free [03:29] Malik_: it would probably tell you to run an installer script of some sort. For most source-code programs, it's ./configure, make, then sudo make install. [03:30] Malik_: also, isn't there already a package for flash called flashplugin-nonfree? [03:30] wpa does not work, unsecured gets accessed, can connect to any unsecured network but own wpa does not connect ,any solution?

It's a Creative Labs SB Audigy LS and google points to a ca0106 module. I've modprobe'd it, compiled it from source, rebooted.. I'm really at the end of what I know/what Google tells me. Launchpad shows a question from a year ago. The guy says he muted a channel to get it to work, Yet I only have one mute control, for all channels. Hints?

[03:41] **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! **** [03:41] Malik_: yes if you wait 10 secs it starts rotating [03:41] puff: and I think irseek.com [03:41] The -vo x11 worked fine, but it printed that message.

[03:42] puff: yeah, I would. Note that xv means your video card handles more of the video processing (I don't know the specifics), so you might want to see why that doesn't work [03:43] Malik_: yes [03:43] its a screen saver i need it for background [03:43] ray__, afaik fsck is the only utility to check and correct filesystem errors [03:43] liek while iam usign linux it should go === Azmerial is now known as ind1g0 [03:43] anirudh what is badboot?

[03:55] cn28h: this comnabd is executed to get a a.out file that is cc lex.yy.c -ll [03:55] using x11 [03:55] not a fan of reiser :D [03:55] ray__, always use mplayer [03:55] but thats my opinion [03:55] 'murderfs' :P [03:55] trask, never used it..have used e17 === Siftaway is now known as SiftLinux [03:55] i like the deafult one [03:55] I've compiled many a kernel in my time, but now w/ ubuntu, it seems needlessly complex. Can I just get a kernel from kernel.org and run the good-old make menuconfig, make, make modules_install, etc, skipping all the initrd and whatever stuff? [03:55] * dmb ducks [03:55] dmb, why? [03:55] uses sound better [03:56] ray__, what do you mean by "uses sound better" [03:56] anirudh0, well, it gets messed up with you have a resierfs disk image within a resierfs filesystem [03:56] edju, you don't need initrd if you build all the necessary parts into the kernel [03:56] which is very unprofessional if you ask me [03:56] edju, but it should not be hard to set up an initrd either [03:56] brb [03:56] anirudh better handel my sound card mplayer freezes me pc [03:56] anirudh0: ok whats the package with the e 17 then called? it sounds like a great addon to fluxbox or similar. [03:56] dmb, if you _want_ to break something...then even linus cannot save you :) [03:56] anyone have any luck install pdfedit on hardy? [03:57] cn28h, what do you mean -- no modules? [03:57] trask, e17 can be got from a repo on e17.dunnewind.net..never installed the package in isolation [03:57] anirudh0, well, that breaking can be as easy as using qemu to install a linux distro [03:57] anirudh any idea [03:57] trask, check perl-panel for fluxbox [03:57] i just got the boost libraries and now it says i need boostiostreams. i've got internet for 5 minutes possibly [03:58] clicking roots rash freezes nautilus [03:58] ray__, what can i say..try vlc then :) [03:58] trash [03:58] hey guys, what should i look for if I want a sort of media center experience? ya know, easy access to videos, music, suitable for a large display?

[03:59] Will programs still be installed if you use the LiveCD? [03:59] zm634, ubuntu-studio [04:00] hi all [04:00] anirudh like the video or sound config [04:00] in x11 [04:00] ray__, afaik there is no common video or sound config in x11.. [04:00] hey [04:00] i need ur help [04:00] and only u can help me [04:00] lol [04:01] there is too many people here! [04:01] but siriusly [04:01] very true [04:01] when i booted into ubuntu it went to this weird busybox thing [04:01] edju, not "no modules" but you have to build in things like support for the fs you have on / etc.. things that are needed to bring the system up [04:01] i cant get it to go into the gui [04:01] gatuno_123, rather too many people are awake :) [04:01] anirudh like this site says for x11 http://www.realistanew.com/2007/09/23/compiz-in-ubuntu-update/ [04:01] Link_of_Hyrule, it must have given an error mesg before doing that [04:01] edju, man mkinitramfs [04:01] whoa [04:02] would i be able to use a ps3 as a hardware slave with a laptop? [04:02] I'm installing 8.04. The drive I'm installing to has a couple of bad blocks (143, to be exact), and I'm wondering: Will the installer automatically detect and avoid the bad blocks when it formats the filesystem? [04:02] there's almost 1200 people in here? [04:02] anirudh0: what about mythtv? [04:02] awesome [04:02] none that i could see [04:02] i have ubuntu installed with-in windows xp [04:02] it was working fine earlier [04:02] anirudh i mean this one for x11 wrong link i posted to you sorry so meny http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-video-playback-problem-in-compiz-fusion.html [04:02] now it just randomly doesnt work [04:02] help, please, anyone... ssh: how do i find my rsa 2 public key [04:03] !flood [04:03] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[04:04] anirudh how i do what there talking about in x11 [04:04] blankhead, you could install the binary from the mozilla site..not recommended though..could screw up your settings [04:04] cn28h, Ah, yes - I know that. So, if a vanilla kernel is compiled the old-fashioned way, w/o all that extra stuff, there'll be nothing missing as far as ubuntu is concerned? [04:04] ray__, i dont knwo [04:04] *know [04:04] edju, extra stuff? [04:04] ray__, never faced this myself [04:04] if i select "merge all" it should only copy files that didnt exist before?

[04:07] anirudh were i do that at [04:07] no problem now, just trying to build serialmonkey's RT2500 drivers [04:07] ray__, in terminal...install the package xine-ui first [04:07] in terminal [04:07] anirudh how i do this [04:07] cn28h, well, I've lost that ubuntu page on kernels - but initrd, initramfs, using dpkg, etc. [04:07] !terminal [04:07] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:08] okay, do I have to build these for every kernel I have? [04:08] Aintaer: i guess for master mode ? [04:08] is it sudo apt-get xine-ui [04:08] ? [04:08] soo [04:08] y [04:08] no one can help me then [04:08] anirudh to me [04:08] If so, can I do it all at once [04:08] m_newton: i think it is one-way? [04:08] Any of you know about IDJC? [04:08] Link_of_Hyrule: you might need to ask your question or state your problem again [04:09] m_newton: you can generate new keys though [04:09] anirudh ok install what i do now to run it [04:09] My Ubuntu install with-in windows was working fine earlier and now it boots into the busybox thigny! [04:09] The problem wiht my IDJC is the SERVER CONNECT button wont light up so i cant click it [04:09] im a freakin linux noob [04:09] ray__, you should read my posts more carefully..type xine in terminal [04:09] Link_of_Hyrule: did you recently change anything in ubuntu? [04:09] Aintaer: http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/checkinstall/ [04:09] i never thought i would call my self a noob [04:09] ok [04:09] edju, shouldn't need to worry about dpkg unless you want the package manager to track your kernel.. and the rest is just normal kernel stuff .. I'm pretty sure a vanilla kernel build should work similarly to on other distros. At very le3ast it couldn't hurt to try :) [04:09] did it [04:09] No [04:10] will this fix the default player as well [04:10] ray__, no [04:10] ray__, atleast i dont think so [04:10] well i put on a couple themes and stuff and got my sound working but ive rebooted since then idk why it would randomly stop working [04:10] ray__, totem is the worst movie player i;ve worked with..after windows media player [04:10] Aintaer: sry, this one : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2356.html [04:10] I was wondering why [04:11] Link_of_Hyrule: check the output of the command "dmesg" for anythihg that doesn't look right [04:11] anirudh then what recamend [04:11] anirudh0: realplayer! [04:11] !checkinstall [04:11] what are you talking about windows media player is awsome [04:11] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [04:11] cn28h, True enough. It'll either boot or it won't. [04:11] Hi I am wondering if anyone knows how to get sound in wine through pulseaudio [04:11] Link_of_Hyrule, boot in recovery mode..we;ll get some more info to diagnose your problem [04:11] oh ok [04:11] m1r, that's very useful, but not exactly my problem [04:11] for me to play dvd and the everthing i need like quicktime and mp3 dont want to lose the codec some recomend here\ [04:11] my problem is, I have multiple kernels [04:11] how?? [04:11] BobCFC, its closed source(though based on helix), but still better than totem [04:11] thanks [04:11] ill do it in a bit [04:11] Aintaer: build for last one then ? [04:11] do I have to rebuild these kernel modules for every one of those kernels [04:12] ray__, mplayer plays EVERYTHING [04:12] anirudh how i set it as default playerf [04:12] Aintaer: i am not sure about kernel modules , but i think yes [04:12] is virtualbox broke or something? cant seem to get it to work says /dev/vboxdrv not loaded or missing [04:12] and can i get ride of other one dont play my dvd menu [04:12] well [04:12] anirudh0: yes the playback engine is good but they bundle it with adware and popups on windows.. [04:12] So can I build modules for a different kernel [04:12] ray__, right click in nautilus..select properties..then open with..then use mplayer [04:12] mplayer is funny you open a video, and it starts playing two seconds later it says "codec nto found" and the video plays [04:12] than the one I'm running now [04:12] and how i get ever codec for it === will__ is now known as larry- [04:13] vlc gets my vote [04:13] anirudh how i have it play as default player so it picks it up [04:13] tyler, install codecs first then..w32 codecs have nearly everything you'll need [04:13] and set it as default insed of other one [04:13] Anyone no a player that supports SHOUTcast streaming? [04:13] ray__, read my previous post please [04:13] tyler, amarok [04:13] anirudh o ok === larry- is now known as garth- [04:14] Aintaer: check this post, maybe helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564419 [04:14] amarok supports SHOUTCAST? [04:14] like i mean Im DJING NT LISTENING [04:14] tyler, listening to shoutcast..there are sperate servers [04:14] gg [04:14] how to generate new keys [04:14] tyler, that must be fun [04:14] i REALY NEED A PROGRAM that i can dj on shoutcast [04:15] it is [04:15] but not when no program works [04:15] funny..idjc brought up this http://www.djc.state.id.us/content/about/about.cfm?MenuLocation=/content/about/about.cfm&submenulocation=about.cfm :) [04:15] tyler_: What DJing are you talking about? Just a source client? or does it need something special? [04:15] wow, FF3 respects separators when sorting bookmarks [04:15] m1r: I'm looking at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784031 [04:16] No something jsut like SAM or WINAMP [04:16] like IDJC but i cant connect usign IDJC [04:16] the "server connect" button wont light up even after i put all my info in [04:16] tyler, are you firewalled?

[04:17] it doesn;t [04:17] it jsut the only thing i have ATM [04:17] hmm..does winamp run under wine? [04:17] Yes [04:17] works wonderful under WINE [04:17] tyler_: So, just play stuff? Have you tried... well, heck, there are a bunch of things that'll act as a shoutcast source client. mpd, .. um, there are others, they're just escaping me. ices [04:18] I need to be able to STREAM using the mic and playing music possiably a crossfader but thats it [04:18] Flannel, i thinks he wants a server, not a client [04:18] YES server [04:19] * dj-ock In Jepoardy - In The Eye of the Storm - Roger Hodgson [04:19] tyler_: A server? or something to send music to a server?

[04:19] I have got an error message: "Please make sure that the program "dcopserver" is running." How can I make this program running? [04:19] tyler_: check out ampache [04:20] m_newton, ssh-keygen..look up net for details [04:20] * dj-ock Pon De Replay - Rihanna - Rihanna [04:20] Hi, I just added a new hard drive to my computer but it seems that it screwed up my GRUB settings. I get an error now when I try booting up my comp. Is there a way to fix that? [04:20] is that in synaptic [04:20] bullgard1, kdeintit starts dcop [04:20] *kdeinit [04:21] tyler_: Please explain what you actually are looking for. The server itself? or the program to get the music to the server? [04:21] bullgard1, but that warning shows that something is wrong with the kde install [04:21] the program to get the music to the server [04:21] m_newton: http://principialabs.com/beginning-ssh-on-ubuntu/ [04:22] i am trying to load ubuntu to my sony pcg-fx150k laptop but after select install from the install menu the screen just turned blank with a blinking line on top left, but when i switch to chinese install from the menu, it has more cd activities while waiting. even command line won't run [04:22] tyler_: That's a source client, and ices is the plain-jane one (comes with icecast), mpd will do it, gstreamer should as well. In synaptic, youshould be able to search for shoutcast or icecast and get a decent list [04:22] ook ill see what i can find [04:22] Whilke im here. You guys know where i can get a guide to make my Ubuntu look like vista? [04:22] anirudh0: Why should there be something wrong with the kde install? My Kexi is not working since Update Manager installed the new kernel yesterday. [04:23] bullgard1, this generally happens when only a few kde packages are installed [04:23] bullgard1, dcop is the kde interprocess communication methid [04:23] bullgard1, its like dbus..but older [04:23] how can i set permissions [04:23] i can't figure out my root password [04:23] :-( [04:24] tyler_: http://gnomestyle.blogspot.com/2007/05/make-ubuntu-look-like-vista.html [04:24] chaky, chmod [04:24] !root [04:24] 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 [04:24] is safepeer failing for everyone ? if it is working for you, would you grab the file and pass it to me ? http://www.bluetack.co/config/splist.zip [04:24] thanks [04:24] * dj-ock S druge strane zakona - title - Ritam Nereda [04:24] dj-ock: please turn that off [04:25] chaqui: if you wanted to reset it, you could boot from the ubuntu disk, then chroot to your install, then set a new passwd for root. [04:25] !root [04:25] 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 [04:25] chaqui: You don't have a root password, the root account is locked, and you more than likely don't want to set a root password either. Use sudo instead. [04:25] ah yeah thats the thing that ubuntu does. [04:25] yeah, they are right. sorry about that guys [04:26] chaqui: ^ [04:26] well, i locked myself out of a game folder [04:26] chaky, chmod 777 folder-name [04:26] I'm no longer able to aptitude update on my Edgy system. [04:26] chaky, chmod 777 folder-name/* [04:26] Don't do that. 777 is usually a bad idea. [04:26] anirudh0: This is true with me: I have installed only a few KDE packages. This arrangement worked perfectly for a year or so. What have I to do to get rid of this error and get Kexi running again? (There is a file /home/detlef/.DCOPserver_MD9760__0 misssing. How can I generate this file?) [04:26] i think you could do 'sudo chroot /' to log in as root perhaps? [04:26] ark3qqq: Edgy is no longer supported (and that means the mirrors are taken down), you should upgrade to Feisty [04:27] chaqui: if you want to setup a root password use sudo passwd root [04:27] zm635: No. you don't want to log in as root, and even if you did, there are better ways. [04:27] yep, you can, though you shouldnt [04:27] Flannel: Ah... I thought Edgy was a long-term blah blah. Hmm. [04:27] BobCFC: please don't recommend that here. Thanks. [04:27] zm635, you could do some more things..the point is that you should'nt need to [04:27] sudo is better [04:27] i know, im just saying, it's still possible :P [04:27] ark3qqq: no, that was 6.06, not 6.10 [04:27] Flannel: he obviously has used root on another distro [04:27] bullgard1: u can try rename /home/user/.kde and relogin [04:27] Flannel: Oops. What's the next long term version? I may as well get it right this time... [04:28] ark3qqq: Hardy (8.04) [04:28] BobCFC Doesnt matter we dont [04:28] * dj-ock CD2 - 04 - Goch Screech + Bubanj - - Disciplina Kicme [04:28] dj-ock: Please turn that off (for the second time) [04:28] ark3qqq: 8.04 released recently. pretty nice too [04:28] bullgard1, not sure..but reboot and start a kde app from the terminal...then check for an error message like "dcop server could'nt be started" [04:28] hi, having problem sharing folders bet ubuntu and xp. i have installed guest addtions already. any help? [04:28] Jack_Sparrow, welcome back [04:28] hey i dont want to go against convesntions [04:28] is safepeer failing for everyone ? if it is working for you, would you grab the file and pass it to me ? http://www.bluetack.co/config/splist.zip [04:28] anirudh0 thanks, just a quick dl then done for the night [04:28] or even tell me if it is giving them a 403 too ?

That's good. :) I'm only running server anyhow. [04:29] when i installed the game [04:29] chaqui: and, which folder are we talking about here? [04:29] m_newton: did you read that tutorial? [04:29] it asked me to set permissions [04:29] i said no [04:29] Bonjour, y'a des francais ici ? [04:29] !fr | Laza [04:29] Laza: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [04:29] and apparently that means i cannot access it as a user [04:30] join #ubuntu-fr [04:30] i installed it into the game folder [04:30] laza /join ubuntu-fr [04:30] the folder Planeshift [04:30] Laza /joion #ubuntu-fr [04:30] chaqui: which game? and please stop using the enter key as punctuation.

What exactly can one do without a password? [04:43] zm635: You can set autologin, even with a password [04:44] BobCFC: I was under the impression that you had to use sudo to do anything interesting anyway [04:44] someone knows why is allways asking me confirmation password of nm-applet ?! when i login my acount?! if beford that nathing happens ... after the last instalation [04:44] thanks guys it works :-) [04:44] man i got a terrabyte and a half of files. and about 30 gigs free... i really need to get another hard drive...

[04:51] NinoScript: eclipse has a C plugin called eclipse-cbt, also netbeans, codeblocks and kdevelop [04:51] yes, i know about that [04:51] but i'm searching for something more gui-ish [04:51] !ot | gonzoism [04:51] gonzoism: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:51] i'm teaching programming [04:51] If i'm performing some critical tasks, like installing a bunch of upgrades, or moving lots of files around, will ubuntu know not to enter sleep mode? [04:52] Great... My first time on the IRC and I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while [04:52] m1r: What do you mean by "rename /home/user/.kde"? [04:52] NinoScript: anjuta? [04:52] NinoScript, if your teaching programming, I think a simple text editor and autotools would be the best way to do it [04:52] NinoScript: but yeah, what UnluckyMike said [04:53] autotools? [04:53] automake autoconf libtool [04:53] when I was taught C many years ago my teacher used program called "TurboC" [04:53] hey guys [04:53] NinoScript: eclipse has a C plugin called eclipse-cbt, also netbeans, codeblocks and kdevelop [04:53] i got an issue :( [04:53] TurboC, bringing me back to 1989 [04:54] ok, i'll read about using eclipse, anjuta and code::blocks [04:54] the only thing I remember about it is really the name :) never used turboC again :P [04:54] Hey guys im trying to place an icon in the /usr/share/icons/ghome/32x32/places/ [04:54] but it keeps telling me perrmission denied [04:54] tyler: use sudo [04:54] what about using gedit? are there good plugins and stuff to make it more like an IDE? like pressing an F key for compiling and such? [04:55] whats the command [04:55] NinoScript: it has sytax hightlighting for c++ [04:55] sudo export? [04:55] just put sudo before the comand you were calling [04:55] anybody knows how install hardy 32bit over a 64bit hardy installation? [04:55] NinoScript, gedit, in my opinion isn't very good. Kate is alright but vim and emacs are the kings [04:56] sudo cp /home/me/myfile /usr/share/icons/ghome..... [04:56] How would i go about listening to live streams, like .asx files/.pls files [04:56] 404 not found gonzoism [04:57] anyone? [04:57] billenium: sorry there is a dot before the filename. here: http://joereid.homeip.net/.conkyrc [04:57] Rozza: totem is one option, it works via gstreamer plugins, there's a bunch of them you can install via Synaptic ... [04:57] i usually leave those out [04:57] Rozza: i think you need the gstreamer codec search for it in synaptics [04:58] is that YOURS gonzoism? [04:58] hmm? [04:58] ohh, here's a question.. if i have Gnome running, is it ok to install KDE applications? that really confuses me [04:58] NinoScript: yes but they are slower to launch because it loads the KDE libs first [04:58] NinoScript: sure [04:58] NinoScript: KDE apps do work [04:58] can anyone tell me how to stop a App run(when the app name not PID) from shell program [04:59] sandy: killall [04:59] Greetings, can someone tell me what the appropriate channel is for asking technical questions about the wiki.ubuntu.com site? [04:59] anybody knows a good tool for memory leak problems ... [04:59] billenium: my what ? the one i use ? no i think that is a template of one i made mine from. i looked at it. [04:59] drash thanks [05:00] billenium: that is the one from backtrack 3, probably [05:00] how do I restart alsa? [05:00] How do i start totem [05:00] my banshee refuses to play sound [05:00] oh [05:00] drash that will come under normal termination [05:00] matthias_N: valgrind for instance === n is now known as n|brb [05:01] trying asking here owh, I don't know if there's an specific channel for it... [05:01] drash: easy to use and find problems ??? [05:01] sandy: not sure what you mean with normal termination ? [05:01] drash: or needed to digg into logg files ??? [05:02] billenium: mine is missing and i'm not sure why. gonna look around a good bit for it. cause it was a pretty good looking one. [05:02] matthias_N: quite so yes, all depends on the complexity of what your debugging i'd say === n|brb is now known as n [05:02] How do I access network folders from the console? [05:02] I'm needing to implement a google search for a team mailing list on the team wiki page, but I'm unsure how best to achieve that in such a way that I get an input box and a search button, rather than a link to a google page. [05:02] Rozza: Apllications->Sound & Video or just click on the video file [05:02] whats the sudo terminal command for deleting a file [05:02] I'm happy for the search to be actually done by google. [05:02] tyler_: rm [05:02] Rozza, you may type totem on the shell or look for "Movie Player" or "Totem" on Applications -> Sound & Video [05:03] so like rm /home/tyler/desktop/watever? [05:03] yes [05:03] The playback of this movie requires a HTTP protocol source plugin which is not installed [05:03] tyler_: yes unless it is a directory [05:03] thanks [05:03] for totem.. [05:03] matthias_N: I just read an article from ibm/developerworks which also indicates free and exmap. [05:04] I cheated my self.... [05:04] like I knew... [05:04] this is what i got when i tried to delete [05:04] I would! [05:04] tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ rm /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/start-here.png [05:04] rm: remove write-protected regular file `/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/start-here.png'? Y [05:04] rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/start-here.png': Permission denied [05:04] matthias_N: it does it's best to keep digging around manually to a bare minimum yes .. what did you use before ? [05:04] tyler_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:04] tyler_ you might be interested in http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html it did me a lot of good ten years ago.... [05:05] tyler_: sudo rm /path/to/file [05:05] tyler_: only works with sudo if in a system folder [05:05] can anone possibly answer my question? [05:05] anyone* [05:05] im trying to change the start here icon [05:05] petom0: what's your question ? [05:05] tyler_: That is because you do not own the file. Changing an icon in the middle of the filesystem is a REALLY BAD IDEA! [05:06] anyone here able to give a little help with a "unable to execute /bin/sh"? [05:06] drash: i have never used any program alike but now some program is drying out the memory i have pretty quick and i have a pretty good idea about where it is but not sure ... [05:06] i downloaded the live cd version of ubuntu, and installed on a cd [05:06] petom0: i must have missed it. what was it ? [05:06] So how can i change it? [05:06] tyler_: You should not. What are you actually trying to achieve? [05:06] [GNOME] This morning after installing packages using Update Manager I cannot open System > Preferences > Sessions. How to troubleshoot? [05:06] Jordo: file /bin/sh [05:06] drash: like to get my idea confirmed in some way ... [05:06] but when i try and install it on another harddrive that i insert, it fails to install it, or boot up normally [05:06] matthias_N: check valgrind.org, there's a small FAQ and info on quicly setting up your environment [05:07] says it doesn't exist, and the Ubuntu install won't go any further [05:07] owh: thanks for your input, i base my suspicions on free ... [05:07] petom0: what is your question ? if you want to check the cd, you can run the command: md5sum /dev/cdrom and check it with the md5sum on the website [05:07] drash: thank you i will and start using it today i hope ... [05:07] trying to setup moblock have done WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https" in the moblock.conf file however anytime i refresh a webpage i get a can't find server error. any ideas ? [05:07] Jordo: What brought you to this point? [05:08] matthias_N: well yes, hopefully valgrind (which uses Memcheck behind the screens) can confirm [05:08] at first, I tried to boot from the CD, and it just failed, tried 2 more times, until I finally got the actual error [05:08] okay, i will try that. My question is how I can fix it, or if something went wrong with the original image write [05:08] bullgard4: try running gnome-session-properties from the terminal and look for error messages [05:08] petom0: i would do this. [05:08] tried installing from Windows and from booting up with the CD [05:09] drash: thanks i will have an look one more question , do you fight with wireless ??? [05:09] Jordo, it might be a defective cd [05:09] if i'm moving to linux from MacOSX (i'm actually dual booting, but i want both OSs to feel similar), which one will feel more familiar? Gnome or KDE? [05:09] Jordo: Either your CD is corrupt, the drive faulty or your hardware incompatible. [05:09] petom0: i would check the md5sum on the file and make sure it matches the website. then i would burn the cd again. or burn cd again first. did you burn it as an image, and not as a file on the cd ? [05:09] I ran the CDs check to make sure there was nothing wrong, which worked fine and said the CD was ok [05:09] gonzoism: If you ever find the .conkyrc you made, dont be hesistent to email it to me [05:09] So how can i change the start icon, i have already placed the start icon i want in the directy it needs to be in [05:09] NinoScript: gnome [05:09] matthias_N: believe it or not but i am a firm believer in hardwiring my internet connection, i've disabled wifi in ubuntu [05:09] NinoScript: Neither. Ubuntu comes with Gnome, Kubuntu with KDE. [05:10] yes, i burned it as an image, i followed the guide on the website for doing it [05:10] /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/ [05:10] BobCFC: "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host -based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." [05:10] billenium: i'll find it. i hope i remember to email you [05:10] tyler_: Which start icon? [05:10] add me on your contacts list or something :P hehe [05:10] gonzoism: Why do you think so? [05:10] billenium: did you like the one i sent you ? [05:10] drash: okey, well thank you ... [05:10] I dont like how it has a window :P [05:10] NinoScript: think i will find it ? [05:11] alright, i will try it, brb [05:11] its the vista start icon [05:11] NinoScript: oh, heh [05:11] it said to put in the that directery [05:11] matthias_N: goodluck with the leak tracking [05:11] Question: Is there a way to make pidgin go away upon the activation of gnome-screensaver? [05:11] i did but it hasn't changed [05:11] ? [05:11] tyler, sudo didn't do the trick ? [05:11] tyler_: Again, what are you trying to do? === Charitwo is now known as CHARITWO [05:11] Convert my computer to vista-look [05:11] Infinito_: tyler_ is trying to remove an installed system file. [05:11] how do i back this thing up now i got it kinda rite? [05:11] NinoScript: because it is simple. and intuitive. for the special effects, enlightenment is the window manager. but its not like kde or gnome, as full featured as them. [05:11] drash: thanks are you by any chance one of the deluge users ??? [05:12] loner269: back what up ? [05:12] my tower [05:12] tyler_: You need to apply a theme to achieve what you want to do, editing icons is *not* the way to go. [05:12] wireless is working i want to keep it that way [05:12] gonzoism do you know how to take out the border? [05:12] gonzoism: Ok, thanks ^^ [05:12] matthias_N: no i've been wanting to but my little baby daughter had other plans sleep- and spare-time wise for now :) [05:12] How can I access network folders from the command line? [05:12] billenium: i'll look now. you like the .conkyrc i sent ? [05:12] so there is no way to get Ubuntu installed, if I get the unable to execute /bin/sh, any way I can figure out why it's doing it? [05:12] loner269: using the default drivers or what ? [05:13] Are they treated just like normal folders? What's the syntax? [05:13] i dont remember now lol [05:13] how cna i do that. i have the tar.gz file [05:13] just no its working lol [05:13] loner269: what did you do before/after it worked ? [05:13] gonzoism: the only thing i didnt like was the border. Besides that it was pretty cool. [05:13] Jordo: The issue is that the CD is not running properly for some reason. The symptom you are getting is likely a red-herring. [05:13] nothing [05:13] drash: okey, i think that is the main head ache in muý case , good luck with your daughter ... [05:13] just got it to work now === CHARITWO is now known as Charitwo [05:14] loner269: well then it'd probably work again if you didn't have to do anything for it to work now [05:14] tyler_, loner269: If you're talking to someone, add their nick to your message, otherwise you will be ignored. [05:14] lol did alot b4 it would work [05:14] is there a way to have only one menu bar? (like in macosx? it's actually one of the features that i love from it) [05:14] thats why i want to keep it working lol [05:14] Jordo: how much memory does that machine have ? [05:15] Jordo: i've had issues like that on 128 mb machines... [05:15] owh_, i have the tar.gz file of the icons how can i configure them [05:15] loner269: well that's why i asked what did you do to make it work [05:15] I run 1.75GB [05:15] NinoScript: http://gnomefiles.org/app.php/Mac_Menubar_for_GNOME_and_Xfce .. tris to achieve just that [05:15] the wiki page for it to work i guess thats what you call it [05:15] tyler_: The icons you're speaking of, are they a theme or not? [05:15] loner269: this is the reason why keeping a journal of what you do is a good idea [05:16] loner269: link ? [05:16] im still new [05:16] Yes there theme [05:16] im learnin though [05:16] Hi all. I'm installing Ubuntu on a spare PC with a 80GB drive and I would like recommendations on partition sizes. [05:17] Gavin[newbuntu]: 1 gb for swap, 20 gb for / , the rest for home ? [05:17] Gavin[newbuntu]: as a newbie myself, I recommend 20 GB for /, 58 GB for /home, and 2 GB for a swap partition [05:17] jordo, have you tried reburning the cd [05:17] yell0w: im me a sec [05:17] ? [05:17] That's my own crappy recommendations [05:17] okay, i typed the command you gave me in and it came up with this error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" [05:17] I have Ubuntu 6.10, and I need to upgrade the machine with the minimal number of reboots and minimal downtime. [05:17] Ok. Any use in going advanced with a separate /boot partition or anything? [05:17] brb all [05:17] yeah I've burned it twice [05:18] drash: wow, thanks for the link, now i can live happily with both OSs :D [05:18] I had read that unused disk space and be partitioned and mounted later to extend existing partitions... any suggestions there? [05:18] does that mean that something went wrong with the image burn? [05:18] since I was stupid and waited too long to do it the easy way, is there a place I can find the Edgy/6.10 distro online so I can upgrade to something still supported and get up to the latest version? [05:18] Jordo: check the md5sum of your download yet ? [05:18] Jordo: When you boot the CD, can you select the menu option to verify the cd? [05:18] no I have not [05:18] yeah, I have verified the CD, and it says there is nothing wrong [05:18] NinoScript: yes it's great once you're used to it :p [05:18] Jordo: what owh asked ^^ ? [05:18] Gavin[newbuntu]: yes that is true [05:19] Gavin[newbuntu]: it all depends on how/what you plan to do with it [05:19] Jordo: Ok, start with the MD5 first. [05:19] Bug #235759 [05:19] Launchpad bug 235759 in nautilus "when opening trash as root, nautilus crashes" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/235759 [05:19] Jordo: that is the md5sum the self check if it had one. [05:19] yell0w: I'm planning to use it long term... but for now just learning. [05:19] Gavin[newbuntu]: at least get a separate swap and /home partition for easy backup/upgrade [05:19] Jordo: so the cd boots and stops when it can't run /bin/sh ? [05:19] I anticipate many borkings along the way :) [05:20] Gavin[newbuntu]: the rest is your choice, whether to make another partition for later use or for windows or whatever [05:20] jtruck: why not go from 6.10 --> 7.10 --> 8.04 all via upgrade ? i think that's possible [05:20] Gavin[newbuntu]: if you plan on reloading the machine later after you figure stuff out, just make it swap and the whole disk s the rest. [05:20] bye, thanks to everyone that helped [05:20] drash: because the update manager can't find the 6.10 files :( [05:20] yes, It loads up everything, gets about 10%, stops for I'd say 10 minutes, then drops to a list of stuff, ending with unable to execute /bin/sh no such file, termination status 255 [05:20] and I am having trouble figuringout where they would be now. [05:21] is memtest86 on the ubuntu cd ? [05:21] okay, i typed the command you gave me in and it came up with this error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" [05:21] yell0w: Ok, I guess i'll just do 1gb swap 10-15gb / and the rest /home. i highly doubt i'll ever use any of it up lol [05:21] i.e. I need to find the apt-get sources to use :) [05:21] gonzoism: Yes, the bottom option. [05:21] and Ubuntu 6.10 doesn't show up in the help tabs on help.ubuntu.com [05:23] Gavin[newbuntu]: ok, base / is about 3-4 gb, i've never exceeded 10gb on / , and that's including lots of stuff that i install over one year [05:23] Jordo: that is an odd problem. i've had problems with cds not reading the whole cd correctly when booting, but burning and checking them just fine. the booting problem had something to do with spinning up and spinning down. you might try adding the "toram" option to the end of the boot command on the cd. or you might try a memtest i doubt its your memory though. [05:23] ahhh. but 6.10 shows up when I manually guess the rl [05:23] i'm getting the following error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" when I try and boot from the CD [05:23] should I re-burn the boot CD? [05:23] gonzoism: I have two conkys open... how do i close the old one? (there is no window thing) [05:23] i checked the ubuntu moblock wiki and it claims that if you add WHITE_TCP_OUT="http https" to /etc/default/moblock that it will allow all internet browsing on any browser, however i get an error message saying server cannot be found after doing so and applying the changes. any help? [05:24] Gavin[newbuntu]: but then ymmv [05:24] billenium: What on earth is a "conkys" ? [05:24] billenium: you can run the command, ps ax|grep conky and then kill the pid of the first or second one. [05:24] OH okay i got it :) [05:24] billenium: i usually just killall -9 conky and then start conky again [05:24] huy............ [05:25] e-mail me the file if you ever find it. I'm tired and gonig to bed. gnight@ [05:25] i'm getting the following error "I/O error 'Error reading boot CD'" when I try and boot from the CD [05:25] gnight all [05:25] night [05:25] Hello [05:26] owh: conky puts stuff onto the screen. like top and other info. [05:26] man. I shoulda stayed on 6.06 back when I upgraded to 6.10 [05:26] :P [05:26] Could someone please help me install google gadgets for linux? I'm a noob and dont really know how. [05:26] Google Gadgets for Linux... I didn't even know that such a thing existed. [05:26] wana bet? [05:26] http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ [05:26] Psyco_Chipmunkk: i bet you a million dollars !!!! [05:26] he said he didn't know it existed [05:26] darn [05:26] he didn't say it didn't, you dolt [05:26] ok [05:27] taken [05:27] Bridge1: yep, fresh news http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/wiki/HowToBuild [05:27] heh [05:27] Seveas doesn't have FreeNX server for Hardy yet. :( [05:27] gonzoism: Ah, tah. I thought that billenium was making up words :) [05:27] WOW. I've got to give that a shot. [05:27] soo [05:27] thanks for the help, think I'm going to do a bit more research before trying to install Ubuntu again [05:27] Could someone hlep me please =) [05:27] could someone help me with this error "I/o error 'Error reading boot CD'" [05:28] Jordo: sorry it wasn't easy for you. wish it was. usually is. like 6 easy steps and never errors... [05:28] BrianG, i read about that today.. [05:28] Hmm... it seems to be a binary package (*.tar.gz)... and I've never had success with "make"-ing those. [05:28] :-( [05:28] petom0: What are you trying to boot? [05:28] hmm [05:28] petom0: yeah. does the cd spin up when you try that command ? [05:28] yes, it does [05:28] yell0w: out of curiosity, if you happen to know this, how does it work if i were to leave unused space, then add partitions as needed and mount them to extend / or /home ? [05:28] then it comes up with the error [05:28] i'm trying to boot ubuntu [05:28] but it keeps failing [05:29] Hmm... that is odd. Do other bootable CDs work? [05:29] i've only tried one so far [05:29] Gavin[newbuntu], they would have to be adjacent to the partition that you're making larger [05:29] i can try another one [05:29] gonzoism: it's probably the computer, Idle, this computers CPU usage is near 100% and I can't fix it, I've tried everything, thought Ubuntu might help [05:29] soo, back to google gadgets [05:29] petom0: that should tell you whether it's the Ubuntu CD itself, or your hardware. [05:30] scunizi: hmm, i see. i can still mount them as /whateveriwant though right? [05:30] Jordo: oh. run the memtest on the cd the bottom option. [05:30] anyone know how I can upgrade a 6.10 machine via the net? [05:30] I'll give it a whirl, and check back [05:30] thanks [05:30] i want my memory to be scanned. is there such a thing like crucial ram for linux? [05:30] !upgrade | jtrucks [05:30] jtrucks: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:30] I can't really use CDs since the system is across the country. [05:30] ok I think I would like to try to make my router dd-wrt.24 any thoughts. should I or shouldnt I? [05:30] across the country? [05:30] Jordo: also if you tag "toram" on the endo of the boot command at the bottom, for booting ubuntu, you might get a better result. [05:31] wow...um..then..i dont really know man. [05:31] led, it was very bug free for me compared to previous dd-wrt releases. [05:31] petom0: try slax or dsl linux for testing. dsl is very small so it would be quick and easy. [05:31] alright [05:31] gonzoism: agreed. [05:31] Jtrucks that might help you, more than likely not, ive never attempted a netinstall from across the globe. [05:32] wers: there is memtest86 its on the install cd. bottom option [05:32] Alan_M: I got stuck because do-release-upgrade can't find 6.10 packages to work with. [05:32] BobCFC: "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? [05:32] jtrucks: you need to go 6.10 > 7.04 > 7.10 .. System -> Administration -> Update manager .. what does it teel you about 'New distribution release 7.04' availability ? [05:33] wers: if you look at the GRUB boot menu there is an option for memtest [05:33] gonzoism, can I do that in virtualbox? hehe [05:33] wers: wouldnt that just test the memory of the VM? [05:33] wers no. it would fsck your memory up [05:33] drash: I don't have X running. I have CLI only. [05:33] now let me ask this since i havent done this before lets say it doesnt work I can put the router back right? [05:33] jtrucks: Are you on dapper currently? [05:33] bullgard4: sorry you will have to google some of that.. do the bit after reason: [05:33] okay. i'll just do the memtest [05:34] i have a ram card here. how do I know if its compatible with my laptop? [05:34] jtrucks: didn't realize that .. i'll recheck (read re-google :p ) [05:34] Flannel: edgy, I guess... [05:34] I am trying to dig up the update manager version installed now. [05:34] How do I get the task manager back onto panel? [05:34] wers like a usb stick or like one of those computer chips ? or what ? [05:34] jtrucks: you'll be using update-manager-core to upgrade. You can find a mirror for edgy at old-releases.ubuntu.com [05:35] okaym, it's 0.56~edgy5 so according ot the docs it's new enough. [05:35] (My mother-in-law's computer and she has wrecked a few things :) [05:35] gonzoism, i mean, a ram stick [05:35] Flannel: yo umay have just saved me :) [05:35] who said my name? [05:35] How to get TaskManager back? [05:35] #blenderchat [05:35] ah [05:35] lol [05:35] (Not sure if that's what it is called ... "TaskManager"? [05:35] wers: most likely it will work if it's the right fit (but don't break it making it fit). although, i know laptops can be picky. just have to test it out or look up model #s [05:36] wers: like you got ram to stick into your laptop ? i'd compare by eye.. but i'm risky like that. [05:36] marge: its called system monitor... in System->Administration [05:36] wers: you could look it up. [05:36] marge, right mouse click the task bar (top) and choose "add" to panel.. [05:36] Flannel: I can just point /etc/apt/sources.list at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/6.10/ then? [05:36] i think, crucial ram is the best tool for that. i'll just have to check if I still have an empty ram slot [05:36] jtrucks: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-2.html offers a routine using apt-get, vim and sed etc. .. [05:36] scunizi: Add _____? to panel? [05:36] most laptops come with two slots, right? [05:36] marge: window list [05:37] Hmm... can anyone explain to me why I get an error when trying to start a virtual machine on VirtualBox? [05:37] drash: yeah, I saw that, too.... the issue was that I couldn't figure out where to find the 6.10 files I needed to upgrade with :P [05:37] Bridge1: it depends on the error [05:37] jtrucks: No, uh, you'd be changing the url to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ instead of what they are now [05:37] marge if you want the system monitor on the top panel [05:37] wers: yes, most. but most also use both slots. [05:37] It tells me that I have two different drivers running, and it only needs one. It also tells me to uninstall both versions, and install only one version... but I can only find one installed. [05:37] can someone please tell me how to run a script every time I resume from sleep? Cheers [05:37] Starnestommy: Thank you. [05:37] wers: as in, your 512mb is probably 2x256 (or whatever) [05:37] Starnestommy: scunizi well done guys i thought she meant like windows task manager for processes... [05:37] jtrucks: use Flannel's suggestion for that [05:38] yeah. i think so too. deym. hehe [05:38] The error reads as such: "The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software.." [05:38] Flannel: thanks! [05:38] BobCFC, thanks.. well it's sorta like tat [05:38] how do i list running processes [05:38] m_newton, ps or ps aux [05:38] wers: do you know where the ram goes ? [05:39] m_newton, also "top" in terminal [05:39] wers: usually on the bottom of the laptop there is an easy access panel for the ram. usually held on with a screw or two. [05:39] hi, does anybody know where to get usleep source code for ubuntu? [05:39] wers: just make sure the laptop is off... [05:40] Bridge1: I think it is because of the new .18 kernel in the updates.. they haven't released the virtualbox-modules for .18 yet, reboot into .17 from the menu [05:40] I need usleep but it's not in Gutsy [05:40] ApOgEE-: all source code is the same. not distro specific. unless you are wanting the source code to the ubuntu package for usleep. i would search freshmeat. [05:40] ApOgEE-, what, you mean a command line program called usleep? [05:41] ApOgEE-: http://freshmeat.net [05:41] gonzoism, i see... because i've tried to compile some but it gets error [05:41] ApOgEE-: or sourceforge.net [05:41] ApOgEE-: errors compiling or running ./configure ? [05:41] gonzoism, i wonder if i need specific code for ubuntu [05:42] ApOgEE-: that would be a patch to make it compile under ubuntu if it won't do it. probably one out there. [05:42] gonzoism, error running gcc usleep.c -o usleep [05:42] ApOgEE-: this may be a dumb question for ya but do you have the build packages? (i tried to compile on one of my ubuntu adventures years ago and didnt have em) [05:42] i just have the usleep.c files [05:43] and by build i mean the ubuntu packages for compiling and stuff [05:43] ApOgEE-: is it a library and not a program ? [05:43] ApOgEE-: where is the website for it ? [05:43] ApOgEE-, sudo apt-get install build-essential is what Gavin[newbuntu] is talking about. [05:43] Damnit! I just spent an hour working on an image in Gimp, but my entire desktop froze and I had to reboot; and I forgot to make saves. Is there anyway to recover my work, or am I screwed. [05:43] i need the source code or maybe pre-compiled if exists [05:44] how do i share using samba? [05:44] i couldn't find it, that's why i ask if you know [05:44] hrm. [05:44] I've never heard of a usleep command... and, of course, the function call would be in glibc (and, probably, the kernel sources). [05:44] m_newton: if samba is installed rightclick on a folder and choose share? [05:44] ripps, don't reboot next time.. ctrl+alt+f2 for terminal login then top and find what's hogging the sys. resources.. kill it. [05:44] server irc://irc.iso-masters.net [05:44] ripps: gimp might have had buffers on disk. search google, or even the gimp website. there is probably a way to get most of it back... [05:44] hups [05:44] ok i have just installed ubuntu 8.04 - easiest linux install ive done to date (i try once a year it seems). anyone got a url to help me set up extra packages such as ati driver and any media abilities i might need? [05:44] ApOgEE-: what do you want it for ? [05:45] gonzoism, i wanna use usleep in my bash script [05:45] scunizi: I tried that, everything froze. The keyboards lights were blinking and everything. [05:45] Gavin[newbuntu], System/Admin/restricted drivers manager. [05:45] ApOgEE-: why not just use "sleep" ? [05:45] okay, so here's a fun problem... [05:45] gonzoism, but it's not here in gutsy [05:45] ApOgEE-: usleep looks like a function. [05:45] scunizi: thanks! [05:46] ApOgEE-: sleep is in gutsy [05:46] I use old-releases.ubuntu.com and do-release-upgrade starts work work [05:46] ripps, ooohh that's bad.. sorry to hear that [05:46] er [05:46] starts to work. [05:46] usleep is "sleep in microseconds" [05:46] is there a way to boot the dsl-linux off of a usb drive? [05:46] then it is about to alter sources.list to download feisty files... [05:46] while sleep is in seconds [05:46] but feisty doesn't exist on old-releases [05:46] petom0, sure.. check the dsl site or google for instructions [05:46] how do I tell do-release-upgrade this? [05:46] ApOgEE-: yes. do you really need microseconds ? and i think usleep is a function. it gets called. [05:47] ApOgEE-: it isn't a command, i don't think [05:47] i.e. tell it to change the servername, not just the distro name? [05:47] i'd rather do that, than dig through all my supposedly blank CDs [05:47] ApOgEE-: it is a command: BUGS [05:47] Probably not accurate on many machines down to the microsecond. Count [05:47] on precision only to -4 or maybe -5. [05:47] gonzoism, i found that usleep is suppose to be in /bin/usleep in other distro [05:47] petom0: you can put almost any distro on a usb drive ala live cd [05:47] petom0: in fact i did ubuntu that way since my cd drive didnt seem to work [05:47] Is there a way to properly install my ATI radeon 9520 video drivers on Ubuntu? I can't find any definitive information via google. [05:48] !ati | Furom [05:48] Furom: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:48] tritium, thank you xD [05:48] Hello Everybody [05:48] how to apply a settings to all other users in ubuntu? anybody has refference links for this? [05:48] gonzoism, but i cannot find any packages in ubuntu containing usleep [05:48] gavin, how did you do that, it would be alot easier than continually burning a CD [05:48] how to apply a settings to all other users in ubuntu? anybody has refference links for this? [05:48] how to open new window in terminal [05:48] petom0: hold for the url [05:49] gg [05:49] gonzoism, that's why i wonder if i can compile the source code [05:49] m_newton, right mouse click and choose open tab [05:49] Is there a deb for recently released Google Gadgets ?

[05:50] gonzoism, this guy found the code but didn't share where he get the working one [05:50] how to apply a settings to all other users in ubuntu? anybody has refference links for this? [05:50] how can i add a new user with a password without any prompts? i.e. supply password on the command line [05:50] scunizi, over ssh using putty? [05:50] raddy: not yet i think, build instructions are very detailed though at http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/wiki/HowToBuild [05:50] yes, that too, what eadz say [05:50] eadz: do you mean like using the passwd command? [05:50] Gavin[newbuntu]: yes [05:51] ARRRGH! I can't find any info on if there's a disk buffer for gimp or not. I don't want to start over! I'm not sure I could get to look the way it was. [05:51] Gavin[newbuntu]: but I cant find out how after reading the man page and --help [05:51] eadz: to set a password or to login without a password? cause i dont know the latter [05:51] hey anyone, I get an error when trying to do an upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/17409/ [05:51] m_newton, no you have to use "screen" in that case [05:51] Gavin[newbuntu]: the first one [05:51] drash : Oh :( [05:51] Gavin: how to apply a settings to all other users in ubuntu? anybody has refference links for this? [05:51] there is no --password= option for adduser... [05:51] ApOgEE-: http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/cdrtools-2.01.tar.gz:a/cdrtools-2.01/libschily/usleep.c [05:51] eadz: passwd username password [05:51] i need to access (read/write) a couple of ntfs partitions on a hard drive. I need to backup some files from the Windows drive before I overwrite it with a fresh Ubuntu install [05:51] how^ [05:51] raddy: no doubt in a few days they'll show up somewhere considering the interest in getting those to work with ubuntu [05:51] hey all, help me here please [05:51] Gavin[newbuntu]: adduser prompts for name etc... [05:52] ApOgEE-: seriously, do you need microseconds rather than just one second ? [05:52] how to apply the same settings to all users? [05:52] hi [05:52] inaru: what exactly are you trying to do? [05:52] inaru: copy them to the users directory... [05:52] ApOgEE-: where did you find the source ? [05:52] inaru: all settings are in the hidden directoris in a home directory [05:52] Gavin[newbuntu], you said the link you mentioned earlier for ubuntu usb install worked for you? [05:52] i wanted to set 1 settings and apply it to all other users, instead of setting the users 1 by 1 [05:52] drash : i don't expect in days, but hours [05:53] Alan_M: yes [05:53] eadz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795601 [05:53] there used to be some program like in System->Administration that would show your hardware.. kinda like windows's device manager [05:53] i can't find it anymore though [05:53] inaru, what specific settings are you interested in? [05:53] eadz: where should i copy the template to? [05:53] Gavin[newbuntu], ok, gonna go try it, it seems the easiest and most straight forward, tried a few other sites, those mainly just trashed my thumb drive. [05:53] inaru: for new users, /etc/skel [05:53] eadz: do i copy the folder to the folder of the other users? [05:53] inaru: whenever you add a new user, all the files from /etc/skel are copied to that users home directory [05:54] ApOgEE-: okay. i compiled usleep. http://www.ataliba.eti.br/sections/shell_utils/usleep/usleep.tar.gz just went into it and typed "make" made it.... [05:54] pepsi: its gnome-device-manager [05:54] Alan_M: It worked great except for me not copying the whole iolinux dir to the root. make sure to do that! i only copied one file and spent 2 hours troubleshooting [05:54] eadz: so i set up this 1 user say user1 and copy the /etc/skel and paste it to the other /etc/skel users? [05:54] Alan_M: also, it says syslinux will create a file on the thumbdrive, but i could never see it. it seemed to be there anyway. i have show hidden files enabled... [05:54] inaru: no... [05:54] inaru: do all the other users exist already? [05:54] gonzoism, i need microseconds to blink the led on my PCB... seems like "sleep 1" took longer [05:54] when i minimize and maximize the firefox for several time,my xwindows will restart at now. any body know hot to slove this problem? [05:55] inaru: if not then it's easier [05:55] Gavin[newbuntu], ill do that (I know a little bit about troubleshooting so if i get stuck, i wil probably either try fixing it or try installing from my dvd i have :) [05:55] eadz: yes, i've created 5 users [05:55] ApOgEE-: ^ it compiled for me. [05:55] legend2440, thanks! it's not installed by default anymore, i see [05:55] inaru: but you can delete them and re-create them ? [05:55] eadz: but this is a trial only, i could just delete them [05:55] ApOgEE-: does that fix your problem ? [05:55] pepsi: if its installed its in Applications>system tools. you may have to enable it in menu editor or install it [05:55] eadz: i think when you add a user you just use passwd [username] [password] afterwards. i have not used the adduser command before, though. just passwd to change passwords. [05:55] good nite [05:55] eadz: yes, i could just delete them [05:55] legend2440, i had to install it :) [05:55] gonzoism, just downloaded... compiling [05:55] !bye [05:55] Au revoir! [05:56] !thanks [05:56] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:56] inaru: ok. log in as user1, and make all your settings. then copy everything in /home/user1 to /etc/skel/ including the hidden files. ( i.e. sudo cp -Rp /home/user1/* /etc/skel/ ) [05:56] inaru: then add user2 and the settings should be there. [05:56] !bot [05:56] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [05:56] !ubottu [05:57] eadz: i get it, so the /etc/skel is for all users. does it include the default user (admin user)? [05:57] !msgthebot | m_newton [05:57] m_newton: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [05:57] anyone know of a GNOME system monitor-type panel applet that can graph CPU core utilization individually, rather than in a single combined graph? [05:57] gonzoism, thanks a lot... problem solved [05:57] inaru: i think he means skel is for NEW users, not existing [05:57] eadz: i've installed yahoo messenger through wine on the sudo user, but it doesn't show on the user1 [05:58] welcome [05:58] hey anyone how do you set a local in ubuntu-server ? [05:58] a local what? [05:58] hulihutu: try adding this pref to your user.js (in your firefox profile) --> user_pref("config.trim_on_minimize", true); .. it's something that works sometimes trying to keep firefox under wraps [05:58] Gavin[newbuntu]: how about the existing one? how to apply the settings? like if there any new settings in the future and would like to apply it to the users [05:58] sorry locale* [05:58] Ummmm..... I have an ATI Radeon 9520 and this how to: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI clearly stats that it doesn't support anything earlier than 9500, which, doesn't help my situation, does anyone know what I can do to get my graphics card's 3D features working right? When I go to play a couple of the games that I played on windows, the 3D graphics are all messed up. [05:58] states* [05:59] perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: [05:59] dammit. [05:59] soooo close [05:59] inaru: unfortunately I don't know, but it looked like earlier someone mentioned copying the user dir to the other user dir [05:59] Will the Hardy LiveCD be able to access (read and write) ntfs partitions? [05:59] how to add fact to ubuntu????? [05:59] inaru: /etc/skel is copied to /home/newuser when a new user is created [05:59] m_newton: wiki /forum ? [05:59] does anyone have /tmp/splist.zip that they would share with me ? [06:00] m_newton, you cant add one from this room, you can probably ask in the room #ubuntu-ops, but....more than likely the request will be rejected. [06:00] oh well` sleepinz [06:00] gonzoism: everyone's /tmp is different [06:00] gonzoism: that's a temporary folder, i doubt it [06:00] dubby, what's the result of "echo $LC_ALL" in your terminal? and, "locale -a". [06:00] its usually where it gets put. splist.zip from anywhere else is ok too [06:00] Gavin[newbuntu], eadz: thank you guys for sharing [06:00] i'll try all the suggestions [06:00] i need to access (read/write) a couple of ntfs partitions on a hard drive. I need to backup some files from the Windows drive before I overwrite it with a fresh Ubuntu install. How? Hardy LiveCD? [06:00] I'm trying to find a description of the fstab mount option "realtime" ... anyone know what it is? [06:01] locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory [06:01] C [06:01] POSIX [06:01] gonzoism: that file is from something specific you're doing on your machine [06:01] !ntfs-3g | babolat [06:01] babolat: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [06:01] gavin, for some reason, this step is not working for me Run this command to install the syslinux bootlader to the thumbdrive: [06:01] syslinux -ma f: (where f: is the letter of your USB thumbstick) [06:01] Furom: i might need some sleep but if the minimum requirement is 9500 and you have 9520 .. wouldn't that qualify ? [06:01] $LC_ALL = (unset) [06:01] petom0: do you get an error? [06:02] / = false [06:02] Alan_M: i know. i was asking about doing it in the LiveCD environment since it's a system with windows broken in it [06:02] meh, babolat im not sure if the cd has it already....so thats why i gave you that. [06:02] petom0: if it just pauses for a second or so, then puts you back at the prompt, it actually did work. i was confused about this as well. [06:02] hi, i just downloaded an installation disk, and when i installed asked it to validate the disk. it found 1 file was messed up. [06:02] if i want to install windows after installing ubuntu, how can i not lose grub? or fix it easily afterwards? [06:02] i installed a 32 bit application in a 64 bit ubuntu hardy using sudo dpkg -i --force-all command. now i want to uninstall it but i can't find the package in synaptic. how am i going to do this? [06:02] but the file it says should be on there isn't, unless its invisible [06:02] downloaded it a couple times, burned a few different versions. all one file screwed up [06:02] most livecd should have an option to boot from an iso on disk. it would sure save a lot of blank cds.... [06:02] check md5sum on download, AMDfanboy [06:02] petom0: yes it seems to be invisible, even with show hidden files i couldn't see it myself [06:02] hm [06:02] petom0: but it worked anyway [06:03] pepsi: a google-it of "install windows after ubuntu" would do you magic === Ronald|Laptop is now known as Ronald [06:03] well, i'm going to have to format it, i ran the command several times >.< [06:03] md5sum worked [06:03] babolat: lol [06:03] So it seems that the fan on my laptop spins more (or it runs hotter) in Ubuntu than it does in Vista. I'm running HH pretty much vanilla, am I missing something or what [06:03] petom0: it doesn't matter if you run it multiple times... it only puts it in once... [06:03] yellow it worked with out doing anything [06:04] petom0: i mean its not like you will have 12 syslinuxes in there [06:04] gooody: if you're going to use expert options like --force-all, you should understand what you're doing before you do it [06:04] loner269: good to hear [06:04] ideas how to mount ntfs partitions within the LiveCD environment? [06:04] petom0: but as long as you formatted as FAT32 to being with, you should be OK [06:04] being=begin [06:05] md5sum for the iso was good, downloaded again, still good. downloaded the alternate install and it was good too. but each time, i ran the validate the disk option before i installed and it found an error. [06:05] petom0: i have an elivecd that lets me boot isos off disk. the current version should have it too. [06:05] LOL i set up synergy on my xp desktop and ubuntu... i forgot to set up a link to return from ubuntu. my mouse got stuck there :x [06:05] AMDfanboy: using a new disk, or reusing a rewritable? [06:05] dubby, if you type "export LC_ALL=C", does the problem go away? [06:06] yeah, used a few disks, burnt it a few times. ya know what, i wonder if the cd player is screweed up. i'm gonna try checking it on my computer. be back in a bit, gotta reboot. [06:06] hmm, i think the disk i originally burned might be bad [06:06] that would explain the problems [06:06]  micahcowan: looks like it worked :-) so far thanx for the easy set to default [06:06] will one be able to do sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o umask=0222 in the livecd? [06:07] dubby, that will only work for that one shell session, though. [06:07] so, anyone have splist.zip ? usually at /tmp/splist.zip [06:07] ok noted [06:07] tritium: is there a way to uninstall it? [06:07] hi there... somebody can help me with the login screen resolution? [06:07] plz [06:07] argh, i need to stop deleting that file [06:07] gooody: like any other package [06:07] dubby, add the line «LANG=C» to the file /etc/locale/default (and delete any other content you find there). [06:08] or «LC_ALL=C» [06:08] tritium: i can't find it in synaptic. [06:08] petom0: what file? [06:08] the iso i originally downloaded [06:08] timidoBR: ctrl-alt-Num+ or Number Pad + sign. (or -) [06:08] petom0: lol :) [06:08] alright when i get the chance I will try that thanx for the help micahcowan [06:08] turns out i still need it [06:08] its taken me 2 days so far to upgrade a server :-p [06:08] tks gonzoism [06:08] you can probably copy the files off the cd you burned actually... [06:08] =D [06:08] petom0: lol [06:09] its bad, i already tried that [06:09] timidoBR: did that work ? [06:09] you helped me yesterday as well [06:09] i guess thats what i get for using a CD thats been sitting around for 3 or so years [06:09] dubby, I did? What with, another locale problem? [06:09] petom0: probably :P [06:09] yep... exactly what I need... [06:09] i need help runing roller coaster tycoon 3 on my pc when i run it through wine i get a message your graphics doesnt meet the minimum requrements ive ran it on windows fine before any help would be great [06:10] petom0: of course i used a new cd and it wouldnt boot anyway [06:10] lol [06:10] Anyone out there with a lot of Base experience? [06:10] bad download maybe [06:10] timidoBR: you might be able to set it permanently in options in the menu or in gdm.conf (command: locate gdm.conf) [06:10] oh well, its downloading pretty fast [06:10] gregbrady, Base? [06:10] already 140 mb through [06:10] petom0: nah i got it working the usb drive... my cd drive was dumb [06:10] erg. [06:10] Gavin[newbuntu], you should keep an extra keyboard/mouse handy anyhow, synergy likes to crash.. like if you accidentally hit print screen in windows with a very large desktop, it times out while trying to transfer the clipboard over the network [06:10] micahcowan, Open Office Base [06:10] Ah. [06:11] nosa-1: i like vmware for games. [06:11] pepsi: thanks, i'll keep that in mind. i'm hoping to get used to using ssh though [06:11] hmm ill check it gonzo [06:11] hi, could someone please tell me how to add thumbnails on mythbuntu so i can see the video icons as pictures? [06:11] micahcowan: nah another upgrading problem that ended in me editing sources.list from dapper to fiesty [06:11] my resolution is 1280x800... but login screen is too big, just show part of it [06:11] nosa-1: you install windows inside vmware. [06:11] ok cool [06:11] ill do that [06:11] after login it's ok.... [06:11] and now, i must sleep. Its midnight here and I need some rest [06:11] night all [06:12] gonzoism: vmware doesn't support 3d acceleration... [06:12] i'll try gdm.conf too.. tks [06:12] timidoBR: forums would probably be the best bet for figuring that out fastest. but someone might now here. [06:12] it doesnt? [06:12] hi, could someone please tell me how to add thumbnails on mythbuntu so i can see the video icons as pictures? [06:12] nosa-1: nope, no 3D in vmware [06:12] timidoBR: is the screen set at higher virtual rsolution at that time? allowing you to pan the viewport ? [06:12] nosa-1: no 3d in vmware..... [06:12] Gavin[newbuntu]: thanks [06:12] hmm ' [06:12] dubby, oh. That worked, then? [06:12] nosa-1 do you have the restricted drivers for your video card? [06:13] nosa-1: what is your resolution currently at ? [06:13] It still doesn't make sense to me that it would say you were trying to remove ubuntu-desktop, far as I know that's still in Hardy. [06:13] 1 sec guys [06:13] Bob24: perhaps "sudo apt-get install ffmpegthumbnailer" will do that [06:13] so, I have 6.10, I point sources.list to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/. It then tries to change the distro reference from edgy to feisty, but feisty isn't on old-releases, it's on releases... [06:13] gonzoism: do you know if installing directx9 is required with wine? or does it handle that on its own? [06:13] hi all. I need romanian language additional characters and from keyboard layout(gnome) If I select any of the romanian variants It doesn't work properly(missing letters). Can someone guide me with this? [06:13] so, it failes. [06:13] how do i install a gtk 1 or gtk 2? [06:13] I try adding both, and it still failes. [06:13] ideas? [06:14] !ro | cristina [06:14] cristina: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [06:14] When I use CTRL-Alphabet key in gnome-terminal it type a Persian alphabet and this made problem when I try to send kill signal and so on (ctrl-z, ctrl-c) I can not remember where I‌mage change that this happened, Is there any suggestion? [06:14] cristina: They may be able to help you more [06:14] micahcowan: well yes it worked but as you see its making a lot of issues and it seems to me that ubuntu-desktop is default installed in the desktop edition and not on the server edition -which is what i am dealing with [06:14] how do i install a gtk 1 or gtk 2? [06:14] 1280x800 resolution gonzoism [06:14] drash: is that for mythbuntu [06:14] nosa-1: what resolution do you need ? [06:14] Oh, right... it's a server version. Then why would ubuntu-desktop ever have been installed? Hm. [06:14] no clue ill try higher [06:14] IronRage: Look in Synaptic for the suitable package and then install it using Synaptic. [06:15] gonzoism: i am thinking his error is because of a lack of 3d acceleration drivers [06:15] ty bullgard1 [06:15] idk I am not the first admin on this computer :-/ [06:15] IronRage, aptget install libgtk2 === finsky312 is now known as Finsky [06:15] good idean gavin [06:15] Flannel, pretty low presence on ubuntu-ro. I doubt someone hears me there [06:15] libgtk2? [06:15] Bob24: not sure, i'm not familiar with mythbuntu, but it's quite a generally used thumbnailer package .. [06:15] i'm not sure what that is [06:15] IronRage, yeah [06:15] my resolution wont go no hiigher [06:15] what is it? [06:15] Gavin[newbuntu]: i don't know. but i have messed with that before and i think that directX is needed. [06:15] umm roller coster 2 runs fine [06:15] no problems at all [06:15] cristina: That's very possible, but can't hurt to ask and see. [06:15] IronRage, gtk is library so the package name begin with lib [06:16] oh [06:16] so just put w/e the package name is? [06:16] Flannel, asked... I I see (nothing) [06:16] IronRage, you can use auto complete to find exact name of it [06:16] hrm [06:17] I could edit do-release-upgrade [06:17] cristina: romania ! :) what was your question ?

Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? [06:17] could anyone make Virtualbox work with 2.6.24-18-generic kernel? [06:17] nosa-1: go to system > administration > hardware drivers [06:17] jtrucks: If it doesn't work, we can just do it manually [06:17] nosa-1: make sure your driver (ATI or nVidia) is installed [06:17] if I did something really stupid, like untar a HUUUGE file on the desktop and it showed all the icons, and then deleted all the files on CLI, how long would it take to refresh the files displayed on the desktop? [06:18] shingen: try it and tell us what happens [06:18] I did [06:18] lmao [06:18] gonzoism, I have a really messed up romanian keyboard layout. I've tried several variants (cedilla, commabellow) and all miss several keys [06:18] gaven ther are no propirotry drivers in use on this system [06:18] i did that once with roms on windows [06:18] nosa-1: i just installed the ATI driver on mine... going to see if i can get RCT3 on wine to see if i can help you out [06:18] i deleted all the roms [06:18] cristina: ah. i bet google would be the best bet for figuring that out. tldp.org might have a howto on it. but there is bound to be a place that has that exact answer somewhere. [06:18] Bob24: reading that mythbuntu use Xfce as desktop you'll probably have Thunar, it does work with that [06:18] switched users, and went back [06:18] ok [06:18] more popped up lmao [06:18] it's all gone [06:18] only took 3 minutes [06:19] nosa-1: does it have any drivers you can put a checkbox next to?

[06:19] pretty sure intell [06:19] GMA 950? [06:19] android? [06:19] umm [06:19] shingen: what is android? [06:19] google android [06:19] how can i find out [06:19] Flannel: as in the whole upgrade, or the step do-release-upgrade is doing?

[06:20] you always untar into a new directory [06:20] nosa-1: are you using a laptop? [06:20] yes [06:20] jtrucks: do-release-upgrade would be doing the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty. We can do it manually [06:20] btw, I didn't mean to google android :) I meant it's Google Android... the pda platform [06:20] nosa-1: what brand and model? [06:20] yeah, I know... I didn't realize I had create directories turned off :P [06:20] Flannel: ok. [06:20] that's why it went splat all over my desktop [06:21] hp dv6000 pavilion [06:21] I'll just tar -xzvf it :P [06:21] stupid gui [06:22] lmao [06:22] nice going shingen [06:22] nosa-1: do you know what the full model # is? usually on the bottom of the laptop [06:22] yeah just a sec... [06:22] * jtrucks wishes he knew python better. [06:23] then I'd just fix the update manager to edit the sources.list URLs correctly :P [06:23] nosa-1: try in terminal lspci | grep VGA [06:24] jtrucks: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard, and make sure you have your kernel metapackage installed (linux-image-generic, linux-server, or linux-generic) [06:24] 6108nr gavin [06:24] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [06:24] Flannel: is that what https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual shows? [06:24] i'm gonna hit google to see if there are any drivers for that [06:24] jtrucks: probably. Which kernel are you using? [06:25] 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP [06:25] hrm [06:25] * jtrucks doesn't need the SMP bit though [06:25] jtrucks: generic doesn't have different ones for SMP or UP [06:25] k [06:25] jtrucks: Do you have restricted-modules? [06:26] maybe [06:26] how can I check? [06:26] the lappy is newr than rc3 [06:26] jtrucks: dpkg -l | grep linux-restricted-modules [06:27] Flannel: no :) [06:27] I take it that makes this easier? [06:28] jtrucks: doesn't really matter, it just clarifies which kernel metapackage we want. It's easy either way. [06:28] k [06:28] nosa-1: hmm i dont know what to do about a driver, but wait up for me to install rct3 to see if i get the same thing [06:28] jtrucks: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal [06:28] ok cool gavin [06:28] jtrucks: then change your sources.list from edgy to feisty, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:28] just let me know [06:29] Flannel++ [06:29] it's installing the linux-image-generic now. [06:30] the other two were utd already === Pepsi_ is now known as goanookie [06:30] "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? [06:30] jtrucks: Once you have those, you're actually streamlined for upgrading straight to Hardy if you'd like. Once the one dist-upgrade is done, reboot (to use the new kernel), and then change feisty to gutsy, lather, rinse, repeat. [06:30] suppose I type 1: firefox &; 2: firefox &; ... then if the firefox in 2 crashes, the firefox in 1 also crashes -- they're some how linked ... or just running as the separate process. Is there a way to have the two be separated? so that if one crahses, the other still runs fine? === Rozza5 is now known as Rozza [06:31] nosa-1: may be a bit... i have to figure out file sharing. my windows pc doesn't like to share :x [06:31] hmm ok... [06:32] wuxia: that would be nice :) [06:32] jtrucks: Another thing I should mention is that if you have anything big like apache installed, make sure you have the main metapackage (apache2, for instance) installed. But, there's really no reason you'd remove that, (and if its not there, your system will still work, you just wont necessarily have that package upgraded) [06:33] nosa-1: apt-cache search i945 [06:33] I installed metapackages as much as possible, and I haven't futzed with it much since. [06:34] Flannel: so, one point of confusion for me is that releases.ubuntu.com has a different file layout than old-releases... [06:34] i.e., no main, etc. [06:34] xserver-xorg-video-intel - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver [06:34] xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver (debug symbols) [06:34] xserver-xorg-video-i810 - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver [06:34] xserver-xorg-video-intel - X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver [06:34] jtrucks: You mean archive.ubuntu.com, releases.ubuntu.com isn't a mirror, just an ISO mirror [06:34] Sup [06:35] ubuntu is the shit [06:35] jtrucks: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vs http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [06:35] is all i had to say [06:35] When I use CTRL-Alphabet key in gnome-terminal it type a Persian alphabet and this made problem when I try to send kill signal and so on (ctrl-z, ctrl-c) I can not remember where I‌mage change that this happened, Is there any suggestion? [06:35] now ill just read and hopefully learn some stuff [06:35] Flannel: by streamlined for upgrading straight to hardy, do you mean once I'm on 7.04 (Feisty) I can go straight to 8.04 (Hardy)? [06:35] Flannel: doh! that helps, thanks. [06:35] /join #linux [06:36] jtrucks: no, no. Just you already know you have your metapackages and stuff, so all you have to do is upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 [06:36] nosa-1: i think you want the -intel, not i810. someone correct me if im wrong [06:36] jtrucks: Just reboot in betwen each to grab the new kernel [06:36] I have a problem booting Ubuntu Hardy Heron with kernel 2.6.24-18-generic. Grub has a menu option which boots into 8.04 kernel with 2.6.22-18-generic [06:36] ahhh. k. [06:36] uhh hmm... [06:36] tjenare [06:36] florinel: if you have any questions outside of irc, http://ubuntuforums.org is a good place to ask [06:37] anyone know how to access a windows share from terminal? [06:37] so I just nabbed the kernel, I should reboot and then do the sources.list change, then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [06:37] right? [06:37] florinel: just, fyi [06:37] jtrucks: yep [06:37] OH, and once on 7.04 I can use the update-manager, right? [06:37] Is there anyone specific I should talk to, regarding issues booting? [06:37] jtrucks: Well, update-manager-core, [06:38] yes. [06:38] sorry. [06:38] :) [06:38] so how do I update that package each time, or does it do that with the dist-upgrade?

I'm a happy camper..use it at home, at work...now i need a macbook air with it on and i'll be good ;) [06:38] jtrucks: dist-upgrade will give you an up-to-date feisty system [06:38] Grub works fine [06:38] gotcha.

[06:48] what is a grub splash [06:49] jahnkeanater: i believe the grub splash is the graphical loading bar you get when ubuntu starts -- the ubuntu logo with the orange line that fills up below it.

[07:12] Bob24: open it in Totem, then movie>properties [07:12] TiZ_: i am no expert that i can advise you this will solve the problem, but i would try this way, mv .gnome2 .gnome2org then restart X , and if fails , then use comand back [07:12] Steph33560: you mean you're using startx and want auto? [07:12] where do i go on imdb [07:12] yes gnome-control-center :) [07:12] ? [07:13] Thanks Rat409 [07:13] So do sudo mv .gnome2 .gnome2org and then do the reverse if it fails?

[07:16] Light-: well im using Mythbuntu, and it has an option to retrieve info from IMDB but i need a metadata number for it, so i need to know which numbet the movie is to retrieve the info. Also it should show thumbnails of the movie. [07:16] Right. I understand. [07:16] Oh, I have updates to install. [07:16] TiZ_: do that 1stz [07:17] Bob24: ohh, hmm let me look [07:17] I'll do them, and if they don't solve the problem, I'll try yours. Is that okay?

[07:20] please i need some help trying to figure out why i have some lag issues when my linux system is acting as a router. [07:20] CaptainMorgan: when you install a new kernel, you have to choose "use package maintainers version" for grub menu.lst, default wont work as it keeps your old one [07:20] Light-: Thanks heaps man :) thats right [07:20] Bob24: no problem [07:20] what's the default bittorrent client on ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:29] so just use su [07:29] ubuntu doesnt do su [07:29] out of the box anyway [07:30] yes it does type su [07:30] no it doesnt [07:30] enter your password [07:30] type su and then try and type the password [07:30] i just did it [07:30] In 8.04 when I plug in the camera card, I want my custom script to run (gnome-terminal -x /home/chrono13/scripts/transfer_pictures_2.sh). This no longer works. I can set Media prefrences in Nautalis to open fspot or to do nothing, but it seems that "Digital Camera" in Removable Devices and Media is completely ignored now. So my question is - is that true or can someone confirm that Removable Devices/Camera command is working for them? [07:30] yeah well i "broke" it with sudo passwd [07:30] and it wont let you [07:30] derek no you didnt [07:30] yes i did [07:30] no [07:30] ;) [07:30] yes [07:30] you want me to post a screenshot [07:30] how to lock a dir in ubuntu [07:30] I am using an A100-590 and there is no hardware support at all, my sound is low and my ati graphics card isn't supported please help me [07:31] chrono13: for one gnome-terminal -e meaning execute [07:31] sandy use permissions [07:31] aha! victory! ty for the help.

[07:32] Light-: its not advertised but you can use both sudo and su,probly not recommended [07:32] It simply doesn't do anything that is entered in there - at all. [07:32] Rat409, not before you sudo passwd [07:32] thats how you do it yes [07:33] will it break anything to do it? [07:33] or is it purely a security concern? [07:33] and don't forget gksudo gksu etc. [07:33] is there a way to request hardware drivers for ubuntu [07:33] emerald isn't working when i select my theme i run compiz and nothing changes, help?

My question is not how to get it to work. My question is - is anyone successfuly using any command under Removable Devices and Media / Camera? [07:35] duduman: the restricted drivers manager. System>Admin>Hardware Drivers [07:35] i know i can [07:35] ....unless you sudo passwd first [07:35] darth said u cant su in ubuntu [07:35] then you can su all you want [07:35] derek: sudo passwd root [07:35] omg [07:35] no i didnt [07:35] Hey guys... installing ubuntu for the first time on a new server... centos saw the drives as hda, hdb... but ubuntu sees them as sda, sdb... why is that and could it cause a problem? [07:35] no u dont need sudo su, just su [07:35] thankjs. couldnt remember the chmod thing i needed [07:35] algien que hable ezpañol?

[07:36] its more like a driver / dev mapoper thing [07:36] shaft0r: were all over it [07:36] so ubuntu has no /dev/hda anymore? [07:36] darth all you said was u I didnt just su, and i did [07:37] darth: you can make it if you like :D [07:37] darth: well, all my ide disks were sd*, dunno if thats true for everyone [07:37] Light: thanks man works fine now. The problem is that I tried this before in the light disc but the internet wasn't working so it didn't work. Thanks a lot for ur help. [07:37] light: i think that is because they're "scsi"-disks [07:37] duduman: no problem [07:37] darth: but no not pr default [07:37] any web cam support in linux yet? [07:37] I thought sd* was scsi.. but these drives are definitly IDE (pata infact) [07:37] its damn confusing an ugly [07:37] emerald isn't working when i select my theme i run compiz and nothing changes, help? [07:37] linux uses scsi-commands for sata disks [07:37] darth: no, they are IDE disks, my motherboard doesnt have SCSI [07:37] and [07:37] darth: oh, ok [07:37] Storage media in Ubuntu that is sd*: (pata, sata, usb, etc). [07:38] this laptop has AHCI enabled on the disk-controller [07:38] what about my low sound? which works fine on windows. By the way I have Ubuntu 7.04 [07:38] might as well mapped em all to /dev/hd** while they were at it [07:38] and i mount /dev/sd* [07:38] if i put it in compat-mode i have to mount everything under /dev/hd* [07:38] duduman: and all the usual suspects are checked ? alsa mixer ? [07:38] duduman: try changing your sound to use the ALSA or PuleAudio mixer. Double click the volume control and go file>change device [07:39] *PulseAudio [07:39] i really like how easy ubuntu is to install [07:39] 30 minutes and a little tinkering [07:39] compiz and everything works... [07:39] a far cry from that other OS install ; ) [07:39] darth: i really like the new version has failed to piss me off yet ,codec and driver wise and suspend [07:39] :) [07:39] the suspend thing is still flanky [07:39] suspend doesnt work for me [07:39] flaky [07:40] i dont get it [07:40] suspend is for queers [07:40] :) [07:40] lol [07:40] typically suspends works like a charm ,, then when you use these nasty n00b kernels it fails [07:40] is "openSSH" server on a server install the same as ssh you'd use to connect to your box? [07:40] why do people screw it up [07:40] Tried Alsa and realtek still not working [07:40] shaft0r: probably [07:40] When building systems for other people, I usually set gconf-editor to deny hibernate/suspend so that they do not appear on the logout options. Prevents issues. [07:41] shaft0r: the one is ssh the other is sshd [07:41] shaft0r: typically they the same package [07:41] and ssh is bundled with sshd [07:41] ah i gotcha ok [07:41] duduman: theres not much you can do beyond that, except check that all volume controls are right up [07:41] their all up [07:41] darth: which is amasing considdering its a debain based distro [07:42] "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

[07:57] blizzkid: probably an entry in gnome's registry [07:57] Kartagis: i didnt get that error msg at all,, why does it mention winfuck [07:57] never seens such a netrocity in a err msg before [07:58] cohonen: no idea === c0-pilot is now known as c0-PiloT [07:58] Light-: registry? you must be a Windoze-user! :p [07:58] it-linux, the only command I've done with serial ports is: dmesg | grep tty [07:58] that gives you a list and some info on it [07:58] blizzkid: gnome has a registru [07:58] It should be enabled by default if I remember correctly. [07:58] *registry [07:59] hello. [07:59] Kartagis: so you cant ping [07:59] Light... it isn't as bad as a registry though ; ) [07:59] i have a weird question [07:59] how do I know what command a specific menu item runs? [07:59] chrono13: I know, im just saying :P [07:59] Kartagis: you can use strace i guess [07:59] chrono13: thanks, I'll try it [08:00] Kartagis: or dsimple look at the source [08:00] how to gain access to folder mounted via gnome from terminal??? [08:00] "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? [08:00] Light-: I know, registry just sounds so bad ;) [08:01] anyway, I need to set a proxy programatically, now the strange thing for me is, when using "network proxy" and starting a terminal, doing printenv shows the proxy. When I "export http_proxy" though, opening a new terminal doesn't show the proxy [08:02] bullgard4 - are you getting that message while trying to update? [08:02] chrono13: No. [08:02] icecold - was the folder mounted via gnome or via the terminal? I'm not sure which direction your question is in. [08:03] chrono13: it works. now the next question is, how do I make a menu item run always with sudo? [08:03] chrono13, via gnome vfs :( i cant mount it from terminal [08:04] hi all [08:04] Question>how can we see a list of installed hardware on ubuntu?

[08:06] system - preferences? [08:06] oh. [08:06] which software? [08:06] Sorry Kartagis. You can right click on Applications and it will show there. [08:07] lshw is apparently ubuntu-specific ;p [08:07] hi.. [08:07] Evanlec: iirc it connects to hal [08:07] hi fandacious [08:07] i'm trying to run the latest ubuntu under virtual pc... [08:07] ah [08:07] There is also lsusb and lspci and so on, if one is looking for a specific type of device. [08:07] keep getting "invalid processor instruction" [08:07] anyone else? [08:07] Myrtti: im running archlinux and there appears to be no such command [08:08] fandacious: what is your host os? [08:08] Evanlec: so search for a tool for archlinux which uses hal [08:08] windows, 32 bit? [08:08] anyone have ideas where the windows network folders mounted on gnome desktop? [08:08] Evanlec: lshw is just a symbolic link to lspci. Just use lspci [08:08] Myrtti: its not a problem, just pointing that out ;p [08:08] dai: vista bus [08:08] ncorpse: oh lol [08:08] fandacious: and what version of ubuntu are you trying to run? [08:09] Evanlec: just pointing out that this is #ubuntu ;-) [08:09] 8.04 64 bit or 32 bit? [08:09] In 8.04 when I plug in a camera card I want my custom script to run. This no longer works (did in 7.10). I can set Media prefrences in Nautalis to open fspot or to do nothing, but it seems that "Digital Camera" in Removable Devices and Media is completely ignored now. So my question is - is anyone able to use a custom Removable Devices/Camera command? [08:09] 8.04 32bit [08:09] * chalcedony smiles === c0-pilot is now known as c0-PiloT [08:09] Evanlec: sry did I get something wrong? [08:09] "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered."

[08:10] i haven't seen that error pop up though [08:11] I would second the VirtualBox recomendation. [08:11] fandacious: yea i am also wary of microsofts "virtual pc" software [08:11] what is the quickest way to get rid of a 403 error on ubuntu apache to serve a file to myself? [08:11] It is a great VM. [08:11] fandacious: i can certainly recommend vbox tho [08:11] evan: they most likely detect linux and block it :P [08:11] fandacious: lol, right ;p [08:12] most likely [08:12] I got a question: in KDE how to you make a section of small icons like a quick start bar [08:12] i have the urge to install OS/2 on something [08:12] gotta go [08:12] Goodnight/goodmorning all [08:12] Rowejobhome: #kubuntu [08:12] Daisuke_Ido: tried OpenSolaris yet?

From ftp its fast but i would like to know what would be causing this please? [08:22] yeah i suppose thats why i have a separate home part anyway heh [08:22] josh_: if you want to feel better, you would have to upgrade from edgy to feisty to gutsy to dapper [08:22] josh_, you dont have to be up to date when your clean installing, youll have back ups :) [08:22] isn't there like a driver updater for linux [08:22] you're better off doing a clean install. [08:22] Hey was there a shortcut key to take a snapshot and save it to the desktop?

You need to switch your sources to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to update so you can upgrade [08:23] if i had known a week ago i could have been prepared [08:23] thanks Alan_M [08:23] Flannel: i think you just rescued me ;) [08:23] Flannel, i wasnt aware of those source servers!

So does the new version enter only the next 8.10 ubuntu or do i have any option to upgrade earlier?

Thanks for this -- I'll look into ImageMagick -- you wouldn't know the syntax offhand? The docs are extremely voluminous [08:27] ok [08:27] doctorow: pdftk can burst a multipage pdf into single pdfs, these could be converted then [08:27] geolr: You'll recieve bugfixes and security updates for Fspot (they'll be backported into Hardy), but you won't get a new version until 8.10 [08:27] CaptainMorgan: flash works in what? i have opera and i get gray windows [08:27] chalcedony, firefox 2.0 [08:27] salve buon giorno a tutti [08:27] can I use KDE instead of gnome [08:27] :) [08:27] !it | albe [08:27] chalcedony: try .5b2 [08:27] albe: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Did you guys experienced any problems with printing certain pdf files on differents printers? Ididn't experienced it but my customrer told me about his problem when on different printers are some dynamicly create data on slightly different places in document. [10:24] Well it doesnt list it [10:24] NewfieLinux: then google is your friend [10:24] Rajec, that is too vague to give an answer to [10:24] I dont know what to google though [10:24] AlexCONRAD: It tells you hwo to customize it, which includes adding/removing arbitrarily. But, what you want is the CLI install, which is available on the alternate CD. It'll install a system without anything (no gui, not much more than ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal) and then from there, you can build up. [10:24] obst: no problem:) [10:24] NewfieLinux: google for " I dont know what to google though" [10:25] lol [10:25] NewfieLinux: Intel 915GM does not need special driver [10:25] Gin, that is not helpful [10:25] well then why are games that seem like crap compared to the windows games run slower than the windows games [10:25] Gin : I think you have drunk too much Gin ( Pun intended) ... XD [10:25] NewfieLinux: get a better card :P [10:25] !google | Gin [10:25] Gin: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [10:26] bazhang_ hmm. I've forget to tell that, customer wants be able to generate some data dynamicly (picture, text etc) and them print them out on document with already printed text on it. Problem is that on different printers is position of generated data slightly different [10:26] The games.Ran.Fine.In.Windows. [10:26] what`s this massage mean http://pastebin.ca/1040254 [10:26] Flannel: I see ... I'll have a look at this technic then ... I'm just worried that if I don't make an minimal install, I'll might have trouble booting my xubuntu desktop again (i actually need a minimal desktop) [10:26] NewfieLinux: did you try to run the game with Desktop Effects turned off? [10:26] AlexCONRAD: Nah, minimal install + xubuntu-desktop will give you an identical install to installing xubuntu-desktop from the CD [10:26] How do I do that> [10:26] Rajec, without specific printer names and much more info there is really no way to tell-->find those out and then ask in ubuntuforums perhaps [10:27] hey all ubuntu clock breaks my gnome panel, any help re fixing this would be awesome [10:27] NewfieLinux, then run it in windows--a dual boot is what you want [10:27] How do I run with desktop effects off? [10:27] Is there anyway to fix the restore from suspend bug in ubuntu heron?? its quite annoying not being able to come back from suspend [10:27] Flannel: right now, my preseed has (and that's the xubuntu default): tasksel tasksel/first multiselect xubuntu-desktop. Which actually installs everything... so I guess "xubuntu-desktop" alone is already too fat [10:27] !dualboot | NewfieLinux [10:27] NewfieLinux: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:28] Ive already dual booted I just left it [10:28] NewfieLinux, this is ubuntu; that card is quite underpowered; you may choose to run the game in Windows if it is better there [10:28] How do I run with desktop effects off? [10:28] Flannel: i'll read more about it anyway, following your track [10:29] NewfieLinux: System->settings->appearance [10:29] NewfieLinux, alt f2 gnome-terminal metacity --replace [10:29] bazhang_: bad [10:29] Flannel: I'll post my questions here if i'm stuck again. thanks for your help [10:29] NewfieLinux: There should be a tab "effects" [10:29] AlexCONRAD: right, you'll want to manually pick and choose. Assume xubuntu-desktop, then remove what you dont want, and see what you end up with. [10:29] NewfieLinux: right click on your desktop then change desktop background [10:29] Gin, excuse me? [10:30] NewfieLinux: then go to the Visual effects tab [10:30] then chose none [10:30] Flannel: do you know where I can find where all these packages are listed ? I might copy the xubuntu-desktop and cut down from here ... [10:30] but I'm not sure where these info are located [10:30] Ok let me try it now... [10:31] hi mr bensonorina [10:31] AlexCONRAD: well, apt-cache show package, or apt-cache showpkg package. Or packages.ubuntu.com [10:31] hey m1r [10:31] AlexCONRAD: Also, if you did "sudo apt-get --simulate install xubuntu-desktop" from a CLI system, youd see exactly (including all the depends) what it installs. If you wanted to know that. [10:31] any1 knows why my keyboard is beeping when i try every single word ? :D [10:32] bensonorina: welcome to ubuntu :) [10:32] Flannel: ah yes, i didn't know that. i'll dig in these directions. Thanks a lot Flannel [10:32] ah I missed the & [10:32] :m1r like that [10:33] lw0x15: your keyboard needs some rest it seems [10:33] bensonorina: yes [10:33] lw0x15: probably a key is stuck [10:33] Gin, lmao its only in xchat [10:33] lw0x15, go to sound prefs and disable system sounds [10:34] bazhang_, same [10:34] its not from headphones [10:34] but from the [10:34] inside of the pc [10:34] lol [10:34] lw0x15: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] You guys were RIGHT! Vista survived resizing under the Ubuntu livedvd installer! THANK YOU!! [10:34] lw0x15, that is odd; it works here when I had that problem [10:35] lw0x15: restart xchat [10:35] lw0x15: in the sound prefs, try to disable the "system bell" (last tab) [10:35] cba to restart got many servers open beside freenode [10:36] ok ill try that [10:36] lw0x15, wait [10:36] lw0x15, disable system beep [10:36] does anyone know how to configure compression for the ubuntu remote desktop (vnc)? === Frogzoo_away is now known as Frogzoo [10:37] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/27/compressing-vnc-connections-over-ssh-vncviewer-via/ Gavin[newbuntu] check here [10:37] thanks! [10:38] Ok All I had to do was lower the graphics settings and nexiuz runs fine,now I cannot get regnum onlines settup to work [10:39] NewfieLinux, how was regnum installed [10:39] Uhh I downloaded a setup [10:39] off their site [10:39] NewfieLinux, need more info than that [10:40] I downloaded a 32bit linux install [10:40] when I try to run it it says its not a folder [10:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615246 NewfieLinux [10:41] Help!!, my terminal has dissapeared [10:42] joema1, alt f2 gnome-terminal [10:42] hello, do pkill, killall, kill , and xkill kill in the same manner? [10:42] yes [10:42] selocol: mostly they send a SIGTERM signal by defauult afaik [10:42] bazhang_: nothing [10:43] erUSUL: so using either one is fine, that is, there isn't one recommended over the other? thanks [10:43] bazhang_: no synaptic either [10:43] selocol: they do different things [10:43] joema1: all windows and panel disappering suddenly? [10:43] Chousuke: what is the safest method to use for a process that is no longer responding / frozen? [10:43] bazhang_: Starting then nothing [10:43] does anyone here know anything about gnome-panel [10:43] selocol: pkill kills by process name, killall kills all processes that match, kill takes a pid argument, xkill kills X apps [10:43] hey, any samba pro's in here? [10:44] selocol: well, not killall [10:44] selocol: otherwise, all of those will od [10:44] selocol: if you use killall you may accidentally kill more than the stuck process [10:44] will do, too [10:44] Chousuke: ok thanks [10:45] selocol or you can open task manager select it and kill that process [10:45] daritter: sTARTING THEN NOTHING [10:45] most times a non responding program will be caught over a given time.. however open a term do a top and kill id is usualy the safest [10:45] selocol: anyway, no matter how you kill a process it's always done using the same system call (on linux) [10:45] selocol: the program you use doesn't really matter. [10:46] Chousuke: what about killal -9? when should i use that? [10:46] selocol: kill -9 sends a different signal than plain kill [10:46] joema1: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files in pastebin? [10:46] !paste [10:46] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:46] selocol: it sends SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM [10:46] hi, there was kernel update yesterday. and now my synaptic seems to be broken. apt-get works but the synaptic does not. is that kown? [10:46] legend2440: ok, hang on [10:46] Chousuke: ok [10:47] selocol: the difference is that a program has no chance to react to SIGKILL (with SIGTERM it can at least *try* to save data and do emergency shutdown procedures so that nothing is lost) === Maximus is now known as Guest50807 [10:47] Chousuke: is SIGTERM the same signal as when I hit the top right "X" button to close an X process? [10:47] legend2440: I can't get anything in "places" [10:47] selocol: you should always try with sigterm first, and only use kill -9 when nothing else works. [10:48] selocol: nah. that sends an X event. [10:48] "detlef@MD97600:~$ gnome-session-properties; (gnome-session-properties:10686): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. Session manager could not be contacted." How to troubleshoot? [10:48] selocol: those are separate from unix signals [10:48] Chousuke: are those safer and is there a way to send that signal through a unix command? [10:49] why don't you just click on the x button? :/ [10:49] sorry i was just wondering.. good idea :P [10:49] if there were something to save you'd need access to the GUI anyway [10:49] ok [10:49] lol, that would be a suer kill not an unattened program signal selocal [10:50] legend2440: I had no "shutdown " button yesterday [10:50] selocol: kill can send other unix signals too [10:50] joema1: and alt+f2 doesn't work either? [10:50] obottu: cool [10:51] hey dudes, i lost an eager ubuntu conert yesterday cos the latest updates killed him gnome, he could not log in at all and since he was not happy with KDE he has now re-installed, no I'm afraid to run the last weeks updates. did anyone else have issues with gnome not logging in anfter the update, we tried rolling back packages but no relief hey [10:51] selocol: for example SIGHUP is sometimes used (by convention) to signal server apps to reload their configuration [10:51] legend2440: Alt-f2 works , but nithing comes up on gnome-terminal [10:51] *convert not conert [10:51] I'm having troubles logging in with GDM when I connect over XDMCP. Authentication errors get logged in auth.log, but when I try the same credentials on gdm on the console everything works fine. Any ideas? [10:51] Chousuke: ok i see [10:52] psypher246, better to troubleshoot then reinstall next time-->that is why we are here :) [10:52] bazhang_: i know i tried but he had work to do [10:52] joema1: can you gedit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostnames from alt+f2? and paste them? [10:52] he;s gonna run it in a vm for a while to get used to it [10:53] legend2440: : nothing happens [10:53] psypher246: at least he's still interested in linux that's a good thing [10:53] niner64: yeah he is, he liked it, but as long as it doesn't break. but did anyone else have this issue? [10:54] psypher246: a few did with a kernel update a few days back best way to keep a stable system is backup b4 any update then apply rollback if that fails boot the old kernel in grub [10:55] Im having trouble trying to install regnum online,can anyone help? [10:55] yeah i know, we tried rolling back all the packages that i didn't upgrade and he tried the older kernel, but no go [10:55] psypher246: as with any new release there is gonna be a bumpy road to start ubuntu is "not" infalible [10:56] niner64: true [10:56] it's like the hoary xorg bug all over again ;) [10:56] Im having trouble trying to install regnum online,can anyone help?

[10:57] is there a way to open win password protected zip files in Ubuntu? [10:57] NewfieLinux, please describe your problem, I have no experience with that particular software, but it should be as simple as running a binary installer [10:57] Running Dapper LTS Server on a Virtuozzo VPS, which cannot upgrade to hardy LTS at this moment (doesn't work, i tried).... Can I use selected packages from hardy (LAMP, webapps) and not revert to pulling debs manually and be on my own regarding upgrades? [10:57] Yes,when I run it it says its not a folder [10:57] legend2440: I type it into alt+f2 and click run and it dissapears and brings back nothing [10:57] joema1: how about cat /etc/hosts in alt+f2? [10:57] Ronald, a partial upgrade most likely will break your system [10:58] legend2440: nothing [10:58] win passwored zip files keep saying that its incorrect password when extracting in ubuntu [10:58] joaopinto: Just the LAMP chain should be little problems though. full hardy system doesn't 'boot' (virtual boot) [10:59] Ronald, not nocessarly, both apache mysql and php are linked to system libraries, which were upgraded [10:59] how to enable nis after boot? [10:59] joema1: are you typing command cat /etc/hosts and clicking run in terminal box? [10:59] joaopinto when i try to to run the installer it says its not a folder [10:59] joaopinto: glibc is mostly backwards compatible ;) [10:59] so you can't simply upgrade the AMP packages [10:59] alrex021: just remove them then copy over since you have acccess [10:59] legend2440: clicked on "computer" "desktop" everything, no joy [10:59] update-rc.d nis defaults doesnt work [10:59] Ronald, ..mostly... :P [10:59] how do you configure mouse using evdev? [11:00] is there a way to tell the network manager (represented by nm-applet) to automatically try to use the known wireless lan connection with the best reception?

[11:08] how do i install a kerenel older then my current one? [11:08] zetheroo: yes [11:08] bimberinx: though using IP addresses? [11:09] Ward1983: you probably already have a few old kernels when you system boots up in grub there is a list of them the top newest the bottom is the oldest [11:09] zetheroo: if you have a router you can port forward. Having VNC exposed isn't brilliant security though. [11:10] !vnc | zetheroo [11:10] zetheroo: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[12:52] hi, where can I get the official list of sites the GUI use to update /etc/apt/sources.list?, the one I use (cl.archive.ubuntu.com) is down [12:52] windowsgeek: I don't think codecaine's approach will help [12:52] soundray: in the link there is no mention of Hardy.... should I just go with the Gutsy stuff? [12:52] compiz fusion Help??please [12:53] windowsgeek: I think you should try 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)' [12:53] found, thanks [12:53] i am already installing ose-modules-generis, i hope it will help [12:53] zetheroo: I couldn't say, I've never used it [12:53] * generic === Primrose is now known as TEr [12:53] it should pull in the needed packages depending on the installed kernels [12:54] compiz fusion Help??please [12:54] windowsgeek: oh, good, if that exists it will automatically get you what you need. That's what mgolisch meant by metapackage... [12:55] and, will i need windows image later to run xp? or it already containes in virtualbox?

[13:01] ask away hammad [13:01] AwaDoV: which version of Ubuntu is your CD? [13:01] Q: how can I convert an IP address into the binary string (not hex) in the bash shell? [13:01] AaronH: Desktop CD boots into busybox [13:01] my problem is .. i can't install ubuntu because of error called busy box and my ver is 7.10 [13:02] How i Install my Radeon 1600 x ? i install the driver but it doesnt do his work :P my vers is 8.04 [13:02] Toznoshio, what do you mean "not hex", how else would you like to have it represented? [13:02] can anyone recommend an approach for running a swapless system? [13:02] Aaronh [13:02] henninge: a string of 0's and 1's [13:02] did you get the problem ? === Stacey37_ is now known as Stacey37 [13:02] AwaDoV: you should download and try the latest version, 8.04 Hardy Heron [13:03] i tried it [13:03] and the same happened [13:03] Toznoshio, that is not a simple task. sounds more like having to code a bit [13:03] yes, AwaDoV, I've never experienced that problem, have you tried the latest version of ubuntu? [13:03] my friend have this ver [13:03] AwaDoV: did you try the Check CD integrity option? [13:03] Aaronh ? do you know how to install ATi driver manual or deinstall it ? === AAAle_ is now known as AAAle [13:04] hammad: after the driver installation, did you reboot? [13:04] no soundray [13:04] Yes [13:04] henninge: my objective is actually to convert ranges of IPs inti lists [13:04] Automatix2 has packed up has it not? [13:04] AwaDoV: please do this integrity check [13:04] home_: they've seen the light [13:04] how ? [13:04] hammad I don't have a ATI card nor have I installed one on ubuntu, so I dont exactly know, but did you check to see if the drivers were in the restricted drivers? [13:04] hammad: how did you determine that the driver isn't active? [13:05] I reboot but how can isee that they are installed [13:05] AwaDoV: there is an option at boot [13:05] Toznoshio, I dont understand "ranges of IPs init lists". Please rephrase that. [13:05] hammad: 'glxinfo | grep -i render' [13:05] check cd from th defects [13:05] henninge: my objective is actually to convert ranges of IPs into lists (sorry spelled inti instead of into) [13:06] hammad: or run 'glxgears' and say what framerate it gives === anonymous__ is now known as Rixon- [13:06] home_: yes i believe Automatix is defunct [13:06] hey sound is this check available in 7.10 [13:06] It laggs a little [13:06] AwaDoV: yes [13:07] thanks [13:07] Toznoshio, like 192.168.1.0/24 -> [192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.1, ... , 192.168.1.255] , right? [13:07] i will try and come again [13:07] bye [13:07] my login screen is 150% the size of my monitor, but i can't go to 'login screen' in control centre... the window appears and disappears within half a second, but the 'loading login screen' thing stays in the taskbar for about a minute [13:07] Soundray: it laggs and there and here the frames 692 frames in 5.1 seconds = 135.881 FPS [13:07] 420 frames in 5.0 seconds = 83.974 FPS [13:07] 640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.921 FPS [13:07] 680 frames in 5.1 seconds = 133.603 FPS [13:07] 640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.968 FPS [13:07] hammad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:09] hammad: do you get any output from 'grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf'? [13:09] Rixon-: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files to pastebin? [13:09] !paste [13:09] henninge: not exactly, more like 12.30.240.106-12.30.241.10 into the corresponding range [13:09] ok [13:09] Ubunto Noob, needs some one to help guide him through installing from source without any ability to Connect to the internet on his Ubuntu install. I am Currently required to use my Windows Box next to my Linux Rig to relay anyhting from the net... I'm trying to get my RT2500 Chipset Wireless Card to work so I can get on the net with my Linux rig... Anyone care to help? I really need it... [13:10] i need to reinstall the normal hardy version of mesa.. is there a meta-package I can "apt-get install --reinstall" so make sure I properly re-install all of mesa??? [13:10] Soundray: it says permission denied? [13:10] Toznoshio, you mean the oterh way round? [13:10] does anyone know if abdulla got the issue resolved? === home_ is now known as Boshank [13:10] hammad: did you type exactly what I said? [13:10] henninge: I have a list of bad IP ranges from Bluetack and I want to build an iptables script from it [13:11] legend2440: why do you need those files? they have nothing to do with the login screen? === Boshank is now known as Shenanigans [13:11] Soundray: now i did oK i entered it what now? [13:11] hammad: do you get any output from 'grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf'? === Shenanigans is now known as FruitPastel [13:12] legend2440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17496/ why do you need that anyway? i can't see how hostname info could change the size of the login screen [13:12] Rixon-: they have something to do with why admin apps won't start up. does your update manager try to start and then stop also? [13:12] no everything works [13:12] henninge: Yes, I misworded it, I need a list of individual IPs from that range === matthew_ is now known as _bash3ll_ [13:12] except the login screen manager [13:12] Soundray: i Enter that but there is no output? === flemnos is now known as jasdevan [13:13] hammad: okay, you haven't activated the ATI driver yet. Go to System-Administration-Hardware Drivers [13:13] hello [13:13] hammad: and enable the ATI driver [13:13] Rixon-: ok sorry i misunderstood. i thought login was not starting up [13:13] Toznoshio, directest approach is to code a loop that counts up and does a manual roll-over at 255. === _bash3ll_ is now known as _bash3ll [13:13] no the manager in control panel for the login screen wont start up [13:13] i have a ubuntu partiton on /dev/sda2 and i want to rename it to /dev/sda1, how do i go about it? [13:14] so i cant figure out why my login screen is 150% of my monitor size [13:14] henninge: thanks, I'll try that [13:14] it only happened since yesterday after i restarted after some updates [13:14] extremus: it doesn't make sense, and you shouldn't try that [13:14] Soundray: where is the Hard drivers? [13:14] y should i not try it/ [13:14] ? [13:14] <||bass> anyone have tips on the problem of ubuntu "forgetting" my wpa2 settings, i mean it looks like it's all there in /etc/network/interfaces but i really do need to reenter it into network manager EVERY TIME i start up [13:14] Rixon-: resolution for everything else is normal? [13:14] because i just erased a partition ahead of ubuntu [13:14] legend2440: yes [13:15] Soundray: sorry but my Ubuntu is German :P and im german to so sorry for so much asking ;) [13:15] Has anyone installed the google-gadgets? [13:15] extremus: it's a bit like you were swapping house numbers with your neighbours [13:15] ok, it goes like this, my /dev/sda1, WinCrap XP SP3 & /dev/sda2 Ubuntu [13:15] Soundray: i got it thx ill reboot see you in few minutes :D [13:15] <||bass> also whoever asked about changing the names of your hard drive device nodes in /dev/ [13:15] hammad: please /join #ubuntu-de -- I'll try and help you ther [13:16] Toznoshio, instead of converting to 0s and 1s, as you had intended, it is easier to work with powers of 2 and divide/multiply for shifting. [13:16] <||bass> that's not something normally done [13:16] so gueuss what i wanna do? [13:16] erase windoze and make ubuntu /dev/sda1 .... [13:16] extremus: please use professional language here [13:16] Rixon-: is this similar to your problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803741 [13:16] YAY!!! but how do i go about it? [13:16] Soundray: Ok i will but i can only help german peoples :S im german so but thx for it ill come back ;) [13:16] Toznoshio, that would be the more sophisticated approach ... [13:16] <||bass> extremus, i know what you are doing will make things LOOK neat and tidy [13:17] <||bass> but it is a monumentally bad idea [13:17] yeah [13:17] thats what i am afraid of [13:17] extremus: it's better to format your /dev/sda1 with ext3 and use it as, for example, /home [13:17] i don;t believe this can;t be done [13:17] <||bass> it can be [13:17] anyone here? How can I in nano search for a name or expression [13:17] ? [13:17] legend2440: yes that's my exact problem [13:17] <||bass> but you will screw up your system [13:17] extremus: it can be done, but it's a pain [13:17] <||bass> unless you do it EXACTLY perfect [13:17] tell me more plz [13:18] Rixon-: i haven't read whole thing. but maybe they found a fix === fabian__ is now known as Fabz0r [13:18] legend2440: yeah i see it, thanks [13:18] extremus: you need to replicate your /dev/sda2 in /dev/sda1, remove /dev/sda2, then resize /dev/sda1 to occupy the space of both [13:18] ok [13:19] extremus: lengthy and risky, and absolutely necessary to have a backup [13:19] <||bass> yes [13:19] <||bass> backups [13:19] <||bass> lots of backups [13:19] <||bass> and you shouldn't do that from the system itself [13:19] <||bass> boot off a livecd to do that [13:19] ||bass: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:19] yeah, cause the last time i tried it on my friends machine something went wrong big time [13:19] luckily i had an image of his system [13:19] extremus: and now you've lost a friend ;) [13:20] extremus: oh, the miracles of backup [13:20] no i haven't [13:20] <||bass> never EVER EVER even think about thinking about doing that on an actually mounted partition [13:20] <||bass> seriously [13:20] :D [13:20] <||bass> it will go horribly wrong [13:20] this sounds like a risky operation [13:20] soundray: im back so the drivers now active :D [13:20] <||bass> messing with partitions is always risky [13:20] yeah i like to try new and risky things [13:21] hammad: good. Do you still want to chat in German with me? [13:21] any system that requires a reboot to make a backup is fundamentally flawed imo because then people for sure won't do backups [13:21] Soundray: wenn du willst :D [13:21] hammad: /join #ubuntu-de [13:21] frojnd, for searching in nano you do [Ctrl]+W [13:21] <||bass> btw, has anyone heard about this problem of ubuntu not remembering wpa2 settings? [13:22] what happens if i erase /dev/sda1 and resize the ubuntu /dev/sda2 partition and make it the main partion, then rename the disk label to /dev/sda2? [13:23] hi, i have a problem with script wich keeps consuming my cpu, it is "/bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg"... anyone knows what it is ? [13:24] soundray what software u recommend to do partition cloning? [13:24] extremus: gparted (not that I've done a lot of it...) [13:24] <||bass> gparted [13:24] [ tar -xzzf rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz ] is that what I type? [13:24] extremus: for imaging: partimage [13:25] ninjabuntu: tar xzvf rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz [13:25] to unpack a tar.gz? [13:25] and how do i defragment an ext3 volume? [13:25] i have big time fragmentation issues [13:25] cause my free disk space is only 3% [13:25] !defrag | extremus [13:25] extremus: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [13:26] kthx ubottu [13:26] <||bass> don't use defrag [13:26] <||bass> it messes up the fs [13:26] ? [13:26] i was about to use it [13:26] <||bass> ext3 shouldn't have fragmentation issues to begin with [13:26] hey guys [13:26] <||bass> if you only have 3% free space, that is a larger problem in itself [13:27] defrag is not necessary for ext3 [13:27] I have a ubuntu (latest) computer but everytime I seem to leave it it goes into hibrnate but it doesnt come out of it [13:27] !universe defrag [13:27] even the irc client I had running disconnected [13:27] Factoid universe defrag not found [13:27] and now theres a black screen, mouse and everything is on but it wont come outta the black state [13:28] extremus: Fragmentation and diskspace are not one in the same. [13:28] but my ubuntu needs some optisation [13:28] optimization [13:29] soundray: maybe you know this. i have a partimage image of my hardy partition which is on a 80 gig Western Digital . if i wanted to restore that image to a 160 gig seagate would that work. and then how would i get the Seagate to be boot drive? Change jumpers? or edit menu.lst? [13:30] !ccsm > hammad [13:30] u need to tell BIOS to boot from a USB drive [13:30] legend2440: first questions first... [13:30] do you believe the results of the "nslookup"? [13:31] guys I'm having issues with my computer, it seems to try to go into sleep mode and wont come out of it [13:31] event tho I have sleep disabled [13:31] Panik... I have that problem too on my GF compaq.... found no solution yet [13:32] legend2440: yes, you can always restore a smaller image to a larger partition [13:32] legend2440: are your drives IDE? SATA? [13:32] is it a old computer tj83 [13:32] ? [13:32] Panik.. no only about 6 months === fyre|sleep is now known as fyrestrtr [13:32] где я [13:33] soundray: the WD that partition image is from is IDE the Seagate is SATA [13:33] damn [13:33] how do i update my ff3 to ff3rc2?? [13:34] hi all! [13:34] Panik... seems to me powermanagement has a ways to come still in ubuntu... on my toshiba sleep worked to begin with.. but after updates does not.. however i can disable it on my toshiba. [13:34] legend2440: then you should look in your BIOS setup whether you can change the SATA/IDE boot priority [13:35] soundray: yes i can [13:35] same tj83 [13:35] exactly the same [13:35] cuz sleep doesnt work on my shitty computer [13:35] Which service does control the auto-mounting of usb-devices and where can i configure it? [13:35] its old [13:36] hi, whats the correct way to stop gdm for hardy? when i use /etc/init.d/gdm stop it still runs! [13:36] legend2440: problem solved then? [13:36] Kano: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:36] Panik... sleep doesnt work on either of my comps both new. But its weird cuase it worked fine in debian on old kernel. [13:37] tj83: sleep is still such a pain -- I had it working with -16 and now it doesn't with the -18 kernel [13:37] Hi guys! the ubuntu cd comes with many locales installed, but I want to keep only one (en_US). How do I "uninstall" them? [13:37] soundray: ok thanks. would i have to edit UUID's in fstab and menu.lst after i change Seagate to boot drive? [13:37] soundray, when is the hard limit of the 4 primary standard partitions in the standard MSDOS volume label gonna be removed/recoded? [13:38] <||bass> extremus: that really isn't a hard limit and is also not really a problem [13:38] extremus: never [13:38] Which service does control the auto-mounting of usb-drives ?? [13:38] yep.. same experience with my toshiba. i think they messed up more than they fixed with 17 and 18... lost wifi on both too untill i found a manual fix. [13:38] <||bass> they have logical partitions for this [13:38] <||bass> so the easy answer is "it will never change" [13:38] y? [13:38] <||bass> because everything supports logical parititons [13:39] hmm, i will google that [13:39] legend2440: you'd have to make sure your new root partition is mounted on / -- so yes [13:39] soundray: i implied used sudo -i before, but X is still running, i have to use killall -9 Xorg, which is stupid [13:39] <||bass> extremus what i usually do is [13:39] <||bass> just this is me personally [13:39] soundray: ok thank you very much. i know your busy [13:39] <||bass> i put /boot as a primary parition [13:40] any suggestions for a new laptop around 500 euros in 6 months time from now? one that will be linux hardware friendly...15.4" amd x2, 2gb ram etc... [13:40] <||bass> and /, /home and swap on logical partitions [13:40] by no means do i support a single windows attribute... but sleep has worked flawlessly for so long on windows OS. i dont know why its so hard for linux [13:40] ok, bass [13:40] legend2440: you're priority, though, seeing as you help out a lot here [13:41] soundray: thanks .. i try [13:41] Hi, in new to Xubuntu (and any other linux) and I have a question: what is 'make' and how should I use it? [13:41] Kano: did you start X with gdm originally? [13:41] ren_: probably u should not [13:41] Hey guys [13:41] soundray: well i used the live cd [13:41] <||bass> unless you're compiling software you've downloaded the source for [13:41] doesnt it use gdm? [13:41] <||bass> you will not usually find yourself using make [13:42] ren_: make is used to compile programs like this: ./configure && make && make install [13:42] howcome my ubuntu wont let me run sudo sh with *.run files? .... I've tried to use the chmod thingy but with no luck .... I'm a bit of a copy/paste nub to be honest :) [13:42] ren_: make helps you compile things from source. But compiling things from source is a hassle. So ubuntu has APT which makes it a lot easier to install things. You should always try to use APT first to install something. Do you know about APT? [13:42] ren_: it just installs aplications [13:42] make -j4 in case u own a kick-ass machine :) [13:42] <^FuSioN> hello [13:42] Rosen: what are you installing? [13:43] it seems that everything im downloading (that is not from the synaptic) needs make... [13:43] Kano: you want a console-only system from live CD? Try F6 at boot and add 'single' to the kernel options [13:43] well I have tried with the q3pack and now also with enemy territory .... it's a pain because I'm at a LAN party ;) [13:43] ren_: if u dl source code, yeah [13:43] ren_: well what exactly are you trying to install that's not in APT? [13:43] jrib: ^^ [13:43] !keytouch > hammad [13:43] soundray: basically i want to install the nvidia driver === rakan is now known as Rakan [13:43] Rosen: pastebin the command you are using and the full output you get [13:43] I'm using cryptsetup to set up an encrypted partition on a removable USB device at /dev/mmcblk0p1 but I keep getting this error: Command failed: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument [13:44] 在这里，有人谁以中文发言？ [13:44] Tao Framework...

[13:44] Rosen: after chmod a+x filename.run then ./filename.run [13:45] tj83 i was told by some guru's I know to check the bios setting === marco is now known as Marco [13:45] have you checked that?

[14:34] What's the best way for me to minimize the total space taken by both of them? [14:34] (I.e. have an original file and a 'bindiff' file?) [14:34] Any help? :( On a Wubi install of Kubuntu, I resized the root disk using LVPM, backup up the old one and renamed new.disk to root.disk like it asked. Now I can't access any of my Windows files via /host [14:35] meh .... does anyone know the exact command for using chmod ?.. I can't remember the syntax and I need it to be able to sudo sh [14:35] Hello, I upgraded my server to Hardy Heron, and now dhcpd is gone... any ideas? I tried googling but didn't find anything helpful. [14:35] Rosen: chmod (permissions octet) file [14:35] Hi [14:35] Rosen, what does chmod have to do with getting a root shell? [14:35] Rosen, man chmod [14:35] so chmod 600 filename changes a file to read/write for user, no access for group ,world [14:35] I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I'm having [14:35] I just installed Ubuntu on my notebook [14:35] Overand: probably uuencode them.

[14:37] Gemmie78 Sound like uk keyboard [14:37] Gemmie78: you should switch from a UK to a US layout then (or vice verca, can't remember now) [14:37] not really, you know, an emergency :-) [14:37] I've tried but I'll try again [14:37] I am using a UK keyboard [14:38] Gemmie78: macintosh? [14:38] I put up with it at first but it's a little annoying now [14:38] It's actually an ACER, believe it or not I couldn't run the live cd properly w/ 256 MB RAM [14:38] Gemmie78 And you have US keyboard installed [14:38] I needed to whack in another 256 to bump it up to 512, runs like a dream [14:38] ***belendax is a [14:38] Very slick, very sleek, and free :) [14:38] Gemmie78 512 is the sewwt sopt [14:38] sweet [14:38] Just need to switch the keys :( [14:39] To be honest, I do not know what keyboard I have installed in terms of hardware [14:39] I bought this acer in australia [14:39] Gemmie78 system..pref..keyboard..layout [14:40] Initially I loved it, my first laptop, then I realised it was quite cheap, eww an acer, then I realised 4 years down the line it wasn't so bad, a bit plain but quite strong despite the cheap plastics and decent performance w/ a ram upgrade, no wireless though, but 3 USB ports [14:40] has any of the major laptop producers chosen ubuntu as default distro yet? [14:40] No back to the question at hand [14:40] I have a whole bunch of bells & whistles in my .vimrc. I just installed Kubuntu 8.04, which comes with vim-tiny by default. When I open vim now, I get lots of "Sorry, the command is not available in this version" for stuff like function, autocmd, filetype, etc. How can I enable these features without installing the vim-full package, which apparently installs a whole mess of GTK stuff that I probably don't need? [14:40] Gemmie78: Is there a # above the 3? Then you have a US keyboard. [14:40] Gemmie78 go to system..pref..keyboard..layout [14:40] Sweet [14:40] HI, is there some command that parses files and counts number of words? [14:40] It means I DO have a US keyboard [14:40] natalisushka: wc [14:40] trask :dell [14:40] Is the 173 nVidia driver available through the repos yet? [14:40] natalisushka: Are you familiar with the command line? [14:41] I just see 169 [14:41] Tonren: vim-nox ? [14:41] erUSUL: What in the world is "nox"? [14:41] Gemmie78 once there add then find united kindom [14:41] Tonren: Sure [14:41] I live in a UK English speaking territory, will that effect the spelling grammar etc? [14:41] Tonren: no X Window a suppose [14:41] natalisushka: wc file [14:41] natalisushka: soundray got it. do a "man wc" for instructions. [14:41] Gemmie78 it will work fine and is reversible should you make a mistake [14:41] erUSUL: Ooohh. No X. I was thinking "nox" as in "noxious". Your way makes much more sense. [14:41] soundray: Tonren: Ok, I will [14:41] zvacet: ty [14:42] trask : np [14:42] Could someone point me to the kernel upgrade how to on ubuntuforums . Ive been searching for it but I cant seem to find it . If I recall correctly it was on this forum that I saw the how to [14:42] So I have a # above the 3 and that would signify I have a US keyboard [14:42] right? [14:42] working ont his with a friend. Seems enabling the proprietary driver through Hardware drivers doesn't work. It fails to load the driver on reboot [14:42] XLV: I checked my smb.conf file and for some reason, my username was not listed. It has some anthony pras username instead. i don't know what that was, but I fixed that and forgot to edit the browseable and writeable section [14:42] !kernelcompile | Filled-Void [14:42] Filled-Void: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [14:42] Thus I must use a US setting for the keyboard [14:42] correct? [14:42] soundray, thank you [14:42] Filled-Void: but I don't recommend it [14:43] Filled-Void: why do you want to upgrade the kernel? [14:43] Gemmie78 Us keyboard has # above 3 yes [14:43] soundray, Its not for me actually :x so I wouldnt know. [14:43] Filled-Void : kernel upgrade to do next release is that what you have in mind [14:43] hi all [14:43] Gemmie78 what do you show for your existing keyboard layout [14:43] Gemmie78 go to system..pref..keyboard..layout [14:43] Checking now [14:44] zvacet, My friend was compiling ti I believe I recall seeing the thread so I recommended reading it before doing anything drastic [14:44] hello [14:44] I have UK showing for my keyboard [14:44] Not US [14:44] Tonren: This counts words and lines and chars in general. Is it possible to give it a certain word to search and count? [14:44] Probably a good idea to switch it? [14:44] !hi | sedra [14:44] sedra: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

I activated gpg password caching in seahorse, and whenever I'm working in gnome-terminal and use gpg, seahorse tries to ask for my password. but the password popup is *behind* the gnome-terminal. so I have to click on it in the taskbar every time.. does anyone know how to change that?

[14:46] £ [14:46] oh [14:46] Why didn't I think of that before -_- [14:46] Tonren: tried "wc -w file/path | grep word" didn't work [14:46] Is there a way to recommend you both for an award [14:46] Sparrow and Sound tray? [14:46] natalisushka: You'll want to "cat" the file into grep. cat will just spit the file into STDOUT, and piping it into grep will read it in that way. [14:46] Gemmie78 Not necessary, just glad to have you here [14:46] pal_, mount is used make the system recognize a drive or device or file so you can use/read it. [14:46] natalisushka: So cat file/path | grep -c word [14:47] Gemmie78: speaking for myself, I'll be sufficiently honoured if you spell my nick correctly ;) [14:47] Say I have a iso, img or toc file ... is there some clever way to mount the images without using software? ... I mean a command that basically does the same as daemon tool in windows :) I'm using Hardy btw [14:47] :) [14:47] Soundtray :) [14:47] oh [14:47] natalisushka: That will work, except grep -c counts how many *lines* match. So if the word shows up more than once a line, it will only count it once.

[14:47] * soundray hums contentedly [14:47] you don't need to cat files into grep, just grep --switches filename [14:47] exit [14:47] Gemmie78 what are you using for irc client now [14:48] Pigdin [14:48] Tonren: I am counting the number of functions in big php files. SO that's fine. I'll try, thanks :) [14:48] Rosen, you can mount an iso image and run it like it was on a cd.. toc files I don't know. see man mount [14:48] natalisushka: That should work fine for you, then. :-) [14:48] Gemmie78 ouch... type this sudo apt-get install xchat [14:48] how to mount NTFS drives in ubuntu [14:48] Gemmie78 in a terminal of course [14:48] !ntfs | pal_ [14:48] pal_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [
