[00:51] no one using bluetooth here, huh? hmm.. [00:51] wiz_works, theres a apt caching type server you just install, and point the other machines to it. - not a full mirror of the repos.. but it caches what any one machine installs. so other machine dont have to redownload it. Good for updates [00:52] jordan_cbr: I'm looking for a solution based on apt-mirror whereby an existing machine can update from it, or a new install can be done from it.

You just need to run it on your partitions that contain files [01:48] anyone uses debootstrap to install? i have a debootstrap-1.0.9 for fedora but the hardy still points to gutsy, therefore I can only install gutsy via debootstrap and not hardy [01:48] JebJoya4: well u could techincally download the package and put it on usb drive or something. So i presume u cannot connect with ubuntu using ethernet? [01:48] propagandhi: ah! it is installed === ouigher is now known as Ashfire908 [01:48] JebJoya4: great [01:48] thats good [01:48] propagandhi: makes life easier anyway :) [01:48] Русские есть? [01:48] in the terminal type [01:48] hpw do i get mdadm to run at start up.. it's not doing a mdadm --assemble as part of the boot process so I get a fsck error durring boot saying that /dev/md0 doesn't exist. [01:48] sudo iwconfig [01:48] !ru | RrrR [01:48] !ru [01:48] RrrR: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:49] меня там забанили [01:49] greetings [01:49] мне нужно имя админа [01:49] nick [01:49] propagandhi: it's listing lo, eth0, wmaster0, irda0 with no wireless extensions, then wlan0 connected to ESSID:"" [01:49] ronin1234: you need to setup your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to create your md device [01:49] jameslr: i just get for my other partition results : clean...thats not very descriptive...i want to know if the read errors/input errors are from my hard drive or dvd drive... [01:50] JebJoya4: ok,could u possibly paste that output also [01:50] in the pastebin [01:50] it's a manual job, anything particular i should look for? [01:50] is there an install script using debootstrap for Hardy yet? seems only gutsy is the latest..please confirm.. [01:50] anybody have an idea when the wmap codec will be available for 64bit? [01:51] JebJoya4: it's just handy to see the full output to see where we are at [01:51] kk [01:51] gimme 5 mins then :) [01:51] i want to set up a raid-5 array with MDADM. I have 3 500gb drives and 2 250gb drives. Is it possible/advisable to 1) assemble the 2 250gb drives in RAID-0 and 2) present them to mdadm as the "fourth" 500gb drive? [01:51] JebJoya4--> you have to get your wifi client to associate with the AP [01:51] I have a really odd problem. In /usr/local/dslinux-toolchain-2008-01-24-i686/bin I have several binaries. One is called ndstool. This works fine, it runs and everything. all of the other ones (e.g. arm-linux-elf-gcc), if i try to run them in a terminal it says something like "bash: /usr/local/dslinux-toolchain-2008-01-24-i686/bin/arm-linux-elf-gcc: No such file or directory" even though it definitely exists. [01:52] amenado2: how would i go about that? [01:52] JebJoya4--> what is the name of your wireless nic? [01:52] propagandhi: one thing i notice that's interesting is that the dmesg thing is talking about wmaster0 not wlan0 [01:52] JebJoya4: take a look at this [01:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#connection [01:53] note the section that says [01:53] sudo iwconfig essid ap key mode <> commit [01:53] Doodle77--> youre trying to run an arm gcc on a i386? [01:53] can anybody help me? when running dpkg --configure -a I keep getting segfaults when "generating locales" [01:54] propagandhi: yep, noticing it :) gonna check the man page to translate it though :S [01:54] JebJoya4: [01:54] also read what it says under the PURPOSE heading [01:54] hey, rhythmbox won't retrieve the album art even when the plugin is enabled. Does anyone know what could be up [01:55] and it says just to check that properties section because we might be making this too difficult if it just needs u to fill the ssid there etc [01:55] I removed .gnome2 folder previously because i wanted to reset gnomes configuration, could this have anything to do with it? [01:56] propagandhi: ... i think you've lost me a bit... [01:57] killux: try launching rhythmbox from a terminal, and see if it generates any output in the terminal window [01:57] JebJoya4: open System > Administration > Networking. If you can see a "Wireless Connection" entry under the Connections tab, you may have a working driver already installed and need to activate the card. Select the entry and click on the "Properties" button to the right. Check "Enable this connection" and fill in the appropriate information below (SSID, network name, passcode, and connection settings). When finished, click OK and wait for the syste [01:57] stacman: nope no output [01:57] where do i go to get help with audacity? [01:58] nobody is in #audacity [01:58] killux: even when you pull the albumart? [01:58] propagandhi: that was the way i tried to set it up manually, the SSID drop down menu has nothing in it and so i put in the SSID and everything myself [01:58] propagandhi: interestingly, the wireless connection is wlan0 [01:58] stacman its supposed to pull the art automatically when I play a song, and i don't think it is [01:59] propagandhi: wheras the dmesg was referring to wmaster0 [01:59] whatever its doing its not generating any erros [01:59] *errors [01:59] JebJoya4: do you see ur mac address in ur wireless router [01:59] killux: gotcha. *shrug*. maybe you're listening to obscure/poorly tagged music? [02:00] no, I have played some of these songs before reseting gnome and it got its art [02:00] killux: do you have a backup? Did you change anything? [02:00] propagandhi, Do y ou know where I can get a audacity question answered? a open source channel or something like that? [02:01] doctorzongo: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [02:01] thats what i followed [02:01] Healthy: i would have said the audacity channel but u have tried that. I'd say google, or I can offer some help, but cannot say I can answer for sure [02:02] jameslr: added the results of mdadm --details --scan to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf but still the same problem "fsck.ext3: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/md0 [02:02] Healthy: you could try various other distribution channels also, such as suse or others [02:02] propagandhi: i'm pretty sure i can [02:02] hello everyone. I'm having a problem with PHP and MySQL: for some reason, mysql is now looking for my.cnf in /etc/my.cnf instead of /etc/mysql/my.cnf. I "fixed" that by linking the file to the location mysql now wants it to be [02:03] ronin1234: did you add a DEVICE partitions line in there as well? [02:03] (although this is not my main problem, I'm not satisfied with this solution, so if someone knows how to fix this, I'd also appreciate it) [02:03] propagandhi: how can i find out my mac address? [02:03] killux: did you do anything else? did you try looking at your music immediatly after resetting gnome? [02:03] this fixed the mysql client but PHP still complains that it can't connect to mysql via /tmp/mysqld.sock, although phpinfo() reports that mysql socket file is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. I've even added the path to php.ini but it still doesn't get it and it's driving me crazy. can someone help me out, please? [02:03] propagandhi, I didn't know if a audacity question is off-topic in here? [02:03] JebJoya4: so ur router is seeing ur wireless card then [02:03] appears to be [02:03] propagandhi: yes, it is [02:03] Healthy: it is not specifically off topic [02:03] ronin1234: you might need to manually check your raid array instead of setting the fsck options in /etc/fstab [02:03] doctorzongo: yeah it was there [02:03] propagandhi: just checked :) [02:03] I have a Audacity question - Is it possible to mask a section of a track (not trim) so I can still access the rest if I need to? like if I want to drag left or right no the edge of the track in order to reveal more of it? [02:03] anyone know an app to check my wireless signal strength? [02:03] ronin1234: I don't check my raid array on boot. Never have === tobblytu is now known as wobblywu [02:04] propagandhi: ... that's really friggin odd [02:04] propagandhi: i've done nothing, and it's now decided it's connected [02:04] JebJoya4: ok, but it also means that ur close [02:04] killux: what did you do right before it dissapeared? just reset gnome? [02:04] propagandhi: it's working [02:04] propagandhi: what on earth happened there? [02:04] JebJoya4: lol, excellent in that case [02:04] Healthy: there is an #audacity channel, ya know.... [02:04] yeah [02:04] propagandhi: sweet :D [02:04] grndslm, Yeah, nobody home [02:04] propagandhi: either you're lucky or magic, but either way thanks :D [02:05] doctorzongo: ^ [02:05] JebJoya4: i cannot take any credit [02:05] I did ask the question there too so in case anyone comes back to their screen it will be waiting [02:05] mind u i love how when u walk up to a user that has a problem and it all of a sudden works [02:05] killux: why did you reset gnome? did you fiddle with rythmbox? have you ever had any problems before with your music? [02:06] propagandhi: tell me about it - i installed ubuntu on my gran's machine recently and she had so many problems the next day which magically sorted themselves out by the time i got there [02:06] lol [02:06] JebJoya4: well, i am glad ur working then, u can forget about vista now :) [02:06] doctorzongo: no i was just messing around with gnome and didnt like the way it looked [02:06] propagandhi: thank god for that :D [02:06] but now that i look, rhythmbox has a lot of import errors [02:07] JebJoya4: u cannot imagine my relief when my dual tv tuner card got supported under linux... goodbye MCE === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [02:07] propagandhi: well, thank you again :) i now need to get back to getting it all set up and working fancily :D cheers :D [02:07] anyone know an app to check my wireless signal strength?

[02:09] I tried to hibernate my laptop and it locked up when I tried to resume. When I rebooted, my bluetooth adapter had stopped working. Where can I start troubleshooting this problem? [02:09] josspyker, that is not in my repo [02:10] ronin1234: in /etc/fstab make sure the last 2 fields for your raid array are set to 0 0 === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [02:10] for example in which usergroups should such a user be ? [02:10] -a [02:10] erisco: startup a terminal and type iwconfig [02:11] matisse: That depends. [02:11] jameslr:rebooting now [02:11] erpo: make a suggestion :-) [02:12] when i right click a .rfl file to open with wine nothing happens. this is off a mounted drive, so i added the mount point to drives in winecfg, but this hasnt helped. what can i do next? [02:12] now to see if it mounts at all [02:13] josspyker, I also tried wavemon [02:13] josspyker, for some reason my quality bounces between 70 percent and 85 percent [02:13] josspyker, are such abrupt changes normal? [02:13] erisco: that's normal [02:13] jameslr: it mounts as a media drive [02:13] insatalled atheros driver for wifi w/ ndiswrapper. everything seems to be in place except for any modules related to the atheros chip - ath_somethings. anybody? [02:14] ronin1234: did you use the UUID in /etc/fstab? [02:14] josspyker, okay, thanks. wavemon is actually pretty good [02:14] ronin1234: what did you specify as your mount point? [02:14] what do i type to configure x? [02:14] the uuid of /dev/md0? okey i'll try that [02:14] erisco: you can try rutilt as well.It's in the repos.

[02:17] ronin1234: my fstab entry looks like: /dev/md0 /export ext3 defaults,rw 0 0 [02:18] matisse, sorry; care to repeat? :) [02:18] hmmm mine whole system hasn't liked hardy I have to use all_generic_ide to even boot...

When i first installed ubuntu 8.04 my computer booted ok and the boot graphics workedand everything then ubuntu gave me a message saying updates were available. So i upgrade, reboot and so my surprise i have no graphics! I have to wait untill ubuntu starts up inorder to see anything and even then its only when its time to login. So i re-installed ubuntu becaus [02:19] I'm using a Sil3114 card [02:20] ronin1234: mine's a Promise FastTrak 4310 [02:20] clintchance: you cut off, “So i re-installed ubuntu becau” [02:20] bazhang: xchat offer strg + F :) but here it is: what do I have to do, to create a user with a minimal number rights for secure checking of programs of a unsecure source ? for example in which usergroups should such user be ? [02:20] because when i loged it it went to a white screen and i had that before which caused me to upgrade to 8.04. Guys, is my boot graphics gone? What do i do!? [02:21] ronin1234: I'm fairly new to ubuntu in general. I used Gutsy for a little bit but went back to RHEL because it was more stable [02:21] clintchance: did you do a fresh install or an upgrade? [02:21] anyway it's mounting as a media drive but thats fine... I can live with that [02:21] matisse, what source? could you give a concrete example please? [02:21] kimbrel, i did an upgrade but im on a fresh install now [02:21] thanks fot he help mate [02:21] ronin1234: that's odd. cheers [02:22] clintchance: ok, and you’re on the default linux-image that the installer gave you? [02:22] kimbrel yes [02:22] clintchance, this happened in the last couple of days? [02:22] kimbrel, in the last 20minutes [02:22] sorry [02:22] bazhang^^ [02:22] bazhang: from a website with nothing else, got it from a friend... that means absolutly not trustworthy :D [02:22] hola [02:22] SO...anyone running an X850 Pro on Hardy? :D [02:23] hi [02:23] hello i am newbee in ubuntu [02:23] someone have problems installing hardy in pata disks ? [02:23] so, installed xp, left some empty space, it worked, installed ubuntu and told it to use the remaining free space automatically. now xp does not boot due to the ntldr not being able to find ntoskernel.exe (changing the partition number in boot.ini mysteriously changes the missing file to hal.dll). google, forums and wiki failed on me, any pointers? [02:23] Rotonen: what’s your current partition map like? [02:24] matisse, what is the link [02:24] Rotonen: put it on a paste site along with relevant sections of your grub.conf/menu.lst [02:24] clintchance, there was an xserver core update in the past couple of days-->that is likely what did it [02:24] kimbrel: in which naming convention? [02:24] Rotonen: linux, please [02:24] bazhang: http://extremegamers07.ex.funpic.de/... [02:24] kimbrel: grub is irrelevant, since ntldr does load? [02:24] bazhang. So i cant upgrade? [02:25] Rotonen: oh, good point. [02:25] clintchance, you on hardy now or gutsy [02:25] hardy [02:25] kimbrel: currently in xp recovery console trying chkdisk, but i doubt it would help [02:25] clintchance, how did you install graphics drivers [02:25] Hi - Does anyone konw how to get the wmap codec working in Ubuntu 8?

[03:41] JJ Google [03:41] FAJALOU: I got rid of gnome screensaver because I couldn't configure *anything*, and found it was meant to be like that [03:42] !raid [03:42] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:42] do i have to edit my initramfs file for a raid5 setup? [03:42] JJ Google [03:42] hey, I have the EDIMAX EW-7128G wireless card. It is detected by Ubuntu 7.10 but it doesn't seem fully functional. I can connect to my AP, but after either a couple of minutes to one hour of using the connection, my connection will just stop working. The wireless bars in the task bar still say I am connected but I can't go on any websites/ping them. [03:42] darkaudit: ok but when you lock the screen it is hideous, can you help me fix that, b/c that is the only thing that i don't like about xscreensaver, and the only funcitoni use. [03:43] killux, is that the ralink chipset? [03:43] bazhang: yes [03:43] CaptainMorgan - i did, it seems that initframs is broken on ubuntu 8 but im not sure it will get in conflict with software controlled raid 5 [03:43] FAJALOU: and that's a function I *don't* use >.< [03:43] I think I might have a similar problem to michael_ 's. I'd like to resize a partion backwards, without destroying my data or being unable to boot. gparted won't let me do that. what program could i use to do this? [03:43] ya see darkaudit, so differnt stories :P [03:43] michael_, I think gparted won't let you resize your partition without unmounting first... [03:44] killux, they are nice an open source, but the design (hardware-wise) is not very good<---had a couple myself and one could not iwlist scan even [03:44] unmounting *it* [03:44] unfortunatetly that's the only one i care aoubt ( and by far the ugliest in xscreen.) [03:44] bazhang: do you know how I could get mine maybe to work? [03:44] killux, using the network manager or via cli? [03:45] I highly recommend broadcom chipsets, despite the issues with the Ubuntu ndiswrapper package [03:45] just build from source === _max is now known as max [03:45] can anyone help me trouble shoot, why i can not watch my dvd's with vlc?

[03:45] i keep getting hilights in this window!!! [03:45] so I have issues with Rhythmbox refusing to play audio, and the only way to fix it has been to $ killall pulseaudio. It's an easy enough fix, but it's kind of annoying. any tips? should I just switch players? [03:45] gpled, you have libdvdcss2 installed? [03:46] because he's right on the hardware [03:46] Prexide: no [03:46] I've got the source for taglib 1.5, but the taglib 1.4.8 packages have many dependents... now what? [03:46] lol.. =/ [03:46] but it should work [03:46] bazhang: let me check [03:46] tux666: yeah I just bought this card, so I want to get it to work [03:47] ralink is madwifi driver, no? [03:47] bazhang: synaptic cant find libdvdcss2 [03:47] hi every1.. wondering if i could get help with alsa over AC'97 [03:47] you must have http://packages.medibuntu.org/ on your sources.list so you can find libdvdcss2, gpled [03:47] gpled, the go to www.medibuntu.org and get it; the instructions are on the site [03:48] Infinito_, can also install without repos as well [03:48] k, thanks for the info === lordleemo is now known as lordleemo_ [03:48] hm didn't know that bazhang [03:48] hey - my 8.04 livecd sms to have problems - sometimes it start properly, it freezes regularly, and the partition editor in the installation usually blanks out, doesn't populate it's lists....... etc etc... this is a defect in the cd right? [03:48] Can anyone help me to improve the performance of the fglrx driver? Currently, the radeon driver runs ZSNes better than it does. [03:48] same with win32codecs :) === lordleemo_ is now known as lordleemo === lordleemo is now known as lordleemo_ [03:49] kholerabbi, do an integrity check on the disk; you might also consider md5'ing the iso and reburning at a very low speed. [03:49] nice to know, that might be useful in the soon future :) === lordleemo_ is now known as lordleemo [03:49] !nickspam > lordleemo [03:50] TiZ do a "glxinfo | grep direct [03:50] no quotes === Guest52037 is now known as max [03:50] bazhang: sorry dude want happen again === max is now known as Guest40618 [03:50] SymbianDJ: I'm not registered with NickServ. At least not this name. I don't think we can message each other. [03:51] Please excuse me- uh. [03:51] has anyone had issues with pulseaudio and rhythmbox? [03:51] Well, never mind [03:51] bazhang: yeah - it says its all good. I ordered through shipit so I don't have an iso. and yesterday I was talking to you about network trouble? well it works now. it's just soo glitchy. [03:51] you need to do that command and let me know what it says [03:51] yes or no [03:51] kholerabbi, how much ram? [03:51] Matthew: do you have problems in other audio players, like amarok? [03:51] if no, your kernel module not loading right, which would explain bad performance [03:52] bazhang 512 [03:52] bazhang it's not actually slow.. it just freezes a lot. [03:52] haven't tried amarok, nanothief, I just wanted to see if there was a known fix for rhythmbox first. There shouldn't be problems because it's the default player for my OS. [03:52] kholerabbi, running a lot of extensions in FF or multiple tabs? [03:53] bazhang: I can't get through the installation because the partition editor just doesn't load or doesn't populate. and no, nothing else is running. [03:53] Matthew, it just would eliminate possible causes if we knew if the problem did/didn't also occur in another player [03:53] EagleG33k Any partition resize, format or move will change the uuid and cause it to not boot without fixing fstab at a minimum [03:54] kholerabbi, ah the livecd; perhaps the alt cd would do in that case, or even the minimal iso (9MB) installer [03:54] you can fix fstab by replacing the UUID with the simpler /dev/hda type location [03:54] OK, nanothief, fair enough. I'll try out amarok for a bit. Thanks! [03:54] anyone used gfloppy? it won't start for me [03:55] amarok is dah best playah evah dude! :p [03:55] bazhang: yes. but I don't have the bandwidth to do that at the moment. ah, I suppose I'll just have to give it up for now... === Guest40618 is now known as max [03:55] max disable that nick plugin please === max is now known as Guest85446 [03:56] !nickspam > Guest85446 [03:57] Another stupid question: Is it possible to tell grub to just load the OS without giving a menu? [03:57] bazhang: one thing I noticed was sometimes item after item saying basically "SQUASHFS couldn't not read 918x9x09" or something. [03:58] I want to make this computer as easy to use as possible. It won't be on the net, so no security issues. [03:58] wolfwalker, set the countdown to zero [03:58] I assume that is in menu.lst somewhere....... ? [03:58] bazhang: which sounds like memory but same similar on another pc [03:58] wolfwalker, aye [03:58] how do i install drivers for OSS in ubuntu 8.04? [03:58] bazhang: that worked, thanks [03:58] gpled, nice :) [03:59] Hi all, I recently did a systems update from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron. Before the update, i was able to set the visual effects from system->appearance. but now, everytime i try to do that, it says that i can not change the visual effects from 'none'. can anyone help me with this problem? [03:59] wolfwalker You can set the timer way down and the default menu item to boot [03:59] now for a tough question. can i use vlc to setup the dvd, so the other ubuntu boxes in my house can watch the dvd off my system? [03:59] kholerabbi, you tried removing quiet and splash from kernel you are booting in menu.lst? that will show any possible errors in full [04:00] whats the name of that disk usage viewing tool [04:00] gpled, streaming to other boxes? how are they connected [04:00] the one that scans dirs and tells you how much disk space each one uses [04:00] ninja: df [04:00] bazhang: I'm not sure what you mean - this is a livecd? === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [04:00] ninja or du -hs * [04:00] magic_ninja df -h ? [04:00] df is per disk (-h = human readable) [04:01] bazhang: local switched lan [04:01] Jack_Sparrow, na is a gui tool [04:01] du is per file/folder [04:01] scans dirs recursively [04:01] gives you a tree output [04:01] tree output? hmm [04:01] gpled, this is wired or wirelessly then [04:01] bazhang: wired [04:01] !info mpd [04:01] mpd (source: mpd): Music Player Daemon.

I started using proftp but it wouldnt let me actually start the server. Maybe because im behind a router? [04:03] what package do i need to get kernel man pages (for development)? [04:03] Can anyone help me to improve the performance of the fglrx driver? The open-source radeon driver outperforms it in 3d apps like ZSNes, and fglrx has tearing that radeon doesn't have. [04:04] I have an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, and I'm on Hardy. [04:04] bazhang: thanks, will check that out [04:04] TiZ_, zsnes is 3D?

[04:05] And it should be running faster since fglrx is supposed to be faster than radeon. [04:05] gpled, not yet; any good? [04:05] TiZ_, which driver and which card === max is now known as Guest87845 [04:06] bazhang: check out the hq movies. looks better then my vcr [04:06] bazhang: I'm currently using radeon with the mesa backports to enable DRI. But Compiz is quite broken with radeon. My card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. [04:06] bazhang: I want to use fglrx, but I just can't because it runs OpenGL apps so badly. [04:07] How do I increase the time that sudo lasts?

[04:09] then i instlled kubuntu, and pidgin runs fine [04:09] nickrud: Is visudo a command? [04:09] leads u straight to sudoers [04:09] thanks [04:10] eboyjr yes, it edits the sudoers file, where sudo options are set. NEVER edit it directly, visudo does some sanity checks so you don't break sudo [04:10] but i think you mkight still have to use sudo for it === Guest87845 is now known as max [04:10] Yeah you have to use suo [04:10] sudo* [04:10] vdsy: can u use a different messenger program like kopete or aMSN? === max is now known as Guest20591 === kat is now known as Guest43428 === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [04:12] Hey UBUNTU!!!

[04:21] Hyuukai I don't understand [04:21] RichardBronosky; is he behind a router? if so you'll need to port forward port 23 [04:21] and echo 'sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW'>>/etc/hosts.allow [04:22] 23?

[08:25] after 22 mounts [08:25] maybe you have a problem with the disk :) ? [08:25] BM-Solid: "timeout" in your menu.lst is how to set time. As for default, change "default" parameter to "saved" and then after your windows entry make a new line with "savedefault" on it. Next time you boot, choose widnows, and it'll be default after that === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [08:25] since the last time it checked, i have used gparted to move partitions around and create a windows partition on a drive that was previously solely dedicated to ubuntu [08:26] BM-Solid: sudo apt-get install startupmanager [08:26] I uninstalled KSirc and installed ircssi.

[08:30] Nice accentuated S's :)) [08:30] i ran that on my own machine and it had the same leakage 6-9 mos ago and it got much better [08:30] i can't even boot into ubuntu right now [08:30] because the disk check is stalling the boot [08:30] oh [08:30] alliecat: use a livecd :) [08:31] ¡i´m using the usintl keymap and am not used to it!

I went to the #xampp channel, but it's empty. But I did install it on a Ubuntu server [08:36] tunys, done /connect irc.freenode.ne [08:36] void they told me to check md5sum they ar the same whn i compare [08:36] ksbalaji, and it should be connecting [08:37] ksbalaji, after that you identify, then join whatever channels you want [08:37] ksbalaji, oh, and different channels are different windows [08:37] dacabuntuwhat exactly is wrong? any error messages? [08:37] press ALT+arrow key to switch windows [08:37] I installed XAMPP successfully. But even though I erased the index.html file from htdocs, every time I got to http://localhost/ it immedately changes it to http://localhost/xampp/ what's causing this? [08:38] ksbalaji: it should be "connect irc.freenode.com" [08:38] dacubuntu: what exactly is wrong? any error messages? [08:39] tunys, done /connect irc.freenode.net Irssi says Not connected to server. [08:39] is there a GUI to configure compiz effects? [08:39] user__: ccsm [08:39] user_, compizconfig-settings-manager [08:40] can you explain more? [08:41] compiz = beryl+xgl ? [08:41] i can't remember [08:41] ksbalaji: specify your nick, too ..

[08:42] selig5, I'm currently connected to irc.freenode.net [08:43] hmm [08:43] would my gaming performance get better if i disable compiz? [08:43] selig5: irc.freenode.net, irc.ubuntu.com [08:43] ksbalaji, try irc.ubuntu.com [08:43] it's the same server [08:43] i want a freeware for ubuntu which records every activity on my computer screen in a video [08:44] !screencast [08:44] Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.

[08:46] ksbalaji: it seems your irssi have connected to the server [08:46] MrPocknix, you can run your browser as root and have it save to a file that normal users don't have permissions to. [08:46] i have 3 gb ram ,check this out http://www.flickr.com/photos/27534868@N04/2567248884/sizes/o/ ,i hope my system is good enough tunys [08:46] i just upgraded to 8.04 and the bookmark deal in the browser URL window is cool [08:46] neo88, hell of a lot better than mine. You'll be fine [08:46] but could end up kicknig my ass [08:47] ksbalaji: just type /j ubuntu to join [08:47] MrPocknix: you can run FF with different profiles [08:47] ok ,do u have a laptop tunys [08:47] or a notebook maybe [08:47] Am I on the channel thru irssi?

[08:52] I want to see more lines backwards using scroll. Now irssi shows only a few lines.To increase lines? [08:53] I'll ask again since people joined: Anyone familar with xampp? [08:53] khelll: add "deb-src" lines into /etc/apt/sources.list [08:53] glitsj16: I do not know this identifier. Where should I try this? [08:53] I installed XAMPP successfully. But even though I erased the index.html file from htdocs, every time I got to http://localhost/ it immedately changes it to http://localhost/xampp/ what's causing this? [08:53] guys how can I made it to show loading bar when loading OS? [08:54] hey is there any channel here for help in torrents [08:54] I cant unlock synaptic or sudo anymore, please help. [08:54] khelll: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/7522 [08:54] hallo [08:54] khelll: like this [08:54] Anyone know of an alarmclock app? [08:55] how to know hardisk space [08:55] balaji: channel #irssi might be more help there [08:55] in linux [08:55] my actual alarm clock's a little flaky [08:55] bullgard4: sorry, i thought you were setting the viewport via compiz rule, but i see now it's a devilspie file .. excuse [08:55] i think my booting is all messed up ugh [08:55] I added user 'admin' and now I cant sudo anymore. [08:55] in fact, i know it is [08:55] balaji: #irssi has the real irssi experts [08:55] glitsj16: I do not use Compiz. [08:56] when i upgraded from gutsy to hardy, it was unable to modify the boot record because i use neogrub rather than grub, since i dual boot with windows and installed windows last [08:56] bullgard4: ok, my mistake [08:56] thanks legend2440 for #irssi. Sorry for being offtopic. (#ubuntu is my favourite) [08:56] i honestly wish i never would have upgraded, i've wasted almost a whole weekend on this stuff === colourAgga` is now known as colourAgga [08:56] insib: can you 'su root'? [08:56] erp [08:57] InvisiblePinkUni: can you 'so root'? [08:57] garrett__: ok let me try [08:57] i'm really in a hole here. :( [08:57] hirda: 'df' [08:57] alliecat: unfamiliar with neogrub, but have you tried installing grub ? [08:57] InvisiblePinkUni: if so, you probably just have a bjroked sudoers file [08:58] alliecat: try supergrubdisk [08:58] InvisiblePinkUni: and i'm sure there's an ubuntu facilitiy for managing that [08:58] balaji: I can see all past IRC messages in Irssi since its start using my PageUp key. Why don't you use the PagUp key? [08:58] garrett__: It says Authentication failure. [08:58] well, this isn't really my issue, ubuntu would still boot up until now [08:58] InvisiblePinkUni: 'su root' and you type in your root password and you get an authentication failure [08:58] now it won't boot because it tries to force a disk check on the NTFS partition which obviously doesn't work [08:58] InvisiblePinkUni: ? [08:59] and i just don't know how to make it STOP doing that [08:59] garrett__: yes.

[08:59] esc doesn't work [08:59] alliecat: try recovery mode [08:59] InvisiblePinkUni: sorry it's sudo -s [08:59] InvisiblePinkUni: that's not ideal at all. [08:59] InvisiblePinkUni: what is the normal user you use (not the 'admin' user)? [09:00] recovery mode? [09:00] ace_suares: no its not 'admin' [09:00] InvisiblePinkUni: are you now in the 'admin' user ?? [09:00] blech [09:00] ace_suares: 'su root' does indeed work.. [09:00] alliecat: can you boot into windows and do a defrag and scandisk on that disk? [09:00] InvisiblePinkUni: and you need to type in the root password, not your user password [09:00] ace_suares: yes, now i'm in admin login to install stuff [09:00] page up works fine! thanks - who? Thanks! [09:00] garrett__: not on my system [09:00] i'm in windows right now [09:01] InvisiblePinkUni: okay now do this 'su yournormaluser' and then type password for you normal user [09:01] garrett__: Is there a "root password" [09:01] ace_suares: yes, it says authentication failure. [09:01] InvisiblePinkUni: 'su' allows you to switch to another user, whereas 'sudo' let's you run a program as another user provided your user is into the sudoers file. [09:01] InvisiblePinkUni: no there is no root password that is why su root dont work. [09:01] InvisiblePinkUni: there is most definietly a root passowrd. [09:01] legend2440: will that actually help me at all? [09:01] garrett__: i dont think its default in ubuntu [09:01] InvisiblePinkUni: huh *shrug* === ktwo__ is now known as ktwo [09:02] * N3bunel saluta [09:02] InvisiblePinkUni: sorry, you say that is you try 'su yournormalusername' and then type your NORMAL user password it dont work ? [09:02] ace_suares: yes. [09:02] alliecat: perhaps not. looks like fsck is determined to check that disk at boot [09:02] ace_suares: my normal user had sudo, now he doesn't [09:02] InvisiblePinkUni: are you sure this normal user's password is correct ? [09:02] InvisiblePinkUni: well, i don't know how to fix that off the top of my head. you could boot into single uer mode and then set a root pass. [09:03] AutomanCat i got : Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) [09:03] invisble: then you'd be able to edit your sudoers file and get things sorted. [09:03] AutumanCat i got : Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) [09:03] i just want to disable the check [09:03] ace_suares: and 'admin' user is able to 'sudo' but is unable to unlock the administration of users and groups to change me to sudo. [09:03] khelll: sudo apt-get update [09:03] InvisiblePinkUni: or at least that's how i'd do it; there might be some ubuntu-specific backup plan to reattach feet after blowing them off. [09:03] InvisiblePinkUni: aha ! [09:03] garrett__: oh ok, thanks garrett__ [09:04] /help join [09:04] InvisiblePinkUni: so now do the follwing [09:04] Anybody know where I can find the ssh-vulnkey command (it is not present in the openssh-blacklist package). I'm on hardy. [09:04] /j #irssi [09:04] InvisiblePinkUni: if you have a user that can sudo, then 'sudo bash' and get a root bash prompt. you can then run any program, as root privs will be inherited by any spawned process. [09:04] ace_suares: tell me. === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [09:05] but now i'll stfu so ace_suares can help. bed time for me. [09:05] night all [09:05] InvisiblePinkUni: first "sudo -s" [09:05] garrett__: thanks. [09:05] ace_suares: ok [09:05] garrett__: thanks for your help ! let's make ubuntu great :-) [09:05] InvisiblePinkUni: you should be on your root prompt now "#" [09:05] ace_suares: yes i am. [09:06] alliecat: do you have a reference to your NTFS partition in /etc/fstab ? if so, putting 0 0 at the end of that line will disable the fsck check [09:06] I am a masochist so I have installed Lotus Notes 8.5 beta on Ubuntu Hardy. There is now a .deb for this. [09:06] so to give the normal user sudo rights, just open /etc/group with an editor (vi, nano, whatever) [09:06] InvisiblePinkUni: so to give the normal user sudo rights, just open /etc/group with an editor (vi, nano, whatever) [09:07] InvisiblePinkUni: and find the entry for 'admin'. It should look likt this: admin:x:110:admin [09:07] ace_suares: ok [09:07] InvisiblePinkUni: now make this admin:x:110:admin,yournormaluser and save the file. [09:07] When I try to install the thawte certificate I get a "This document cannot be displayed unles you install the PSM [09:08] When I tried installing mozilla-psm it just installs Seamonkey. [09:08] InvisiblePinkUni: or you could have done: "adduser yournormaluser admin" [09:08] !netsplit [09:08] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:08] InvisiblePinkUni: still there ? [09:09] If there is somebody here who knows Ubuntu and Lotus can they tell me who to intall the PSM? [09:09] [09:10] ace_suares: checking it ace_suares. [09:10] ace_suares: thanks for the help. [09:10] InvisiblePinkUni: there was netsplit did you see my 'adduser yournomraluser admin' as an alternative to editing the /etc/group file ? [09:11] ace_suares: oh yes. [09:11] InvisiblePinkUni: okay. [09:11] ace_suares: but I see adm group [09:11] ace_suares: not admin in particular [09:11] InvisiblePinkUni: when you were using the user/group system admin GUI, did you use the password for admin ? [09:12] InvisiblePinkUni: try 'grep admin /etc/group' [09:12] InvisiblePinkUni: you should see admin group. [09:13] ace_suares: putting admin as username made me come to all this mess, its so confusing now. [09:14] anyone could help? I could not complie my libpng. the configure script complained :configure: error: zlib not installed. actually, I installed zlib to /tmp/zlib [09:14] InvisiblePinkUni: did you CHANGE your normal username to admin ???? [09:14] phdmybest: apt 装个不就行了吗.. [09:14] phdmybest: try apt-get install zlib1g-dev [09:15] AutumnCat: 我要把zlib装到指定目录上，有点像apache的jail那种，apt不能指定目录。 [09:16] phdmybest: 做jail ? [09:16] ace_suares: thanks ace_suares. will be back in 5 mins. [09:16] anyone knows whats the easiest way to update OOO 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 on Hardy? [09:16] ace_suares: am trying to reinstall policy kit [09:16] InvisiblePinkUni: sorry got to go. [09:16] phdmybest: 用某个万能 jail 脚本.. 忘了在哪见过了 [09:16] ace_suares: bye === yacc_ is now known as yacc [09:16] phdmybest: 你这样也是没用的, 要把 glibc 也移过去.. [09:17] bom dia [09:18] AutumnCat: 我想知道原理。 [09:18] phdmybest: 回去 cn [09:21] AutumnCat: 按理，我看过zlib的configer文件，支持指定安装路径的，也能正常安装，但我编译libpng库的时候，它的configuert脚本说没有安装zlib。而且我把zlib的路径也加到PATH里面了。 [09:21] ace-suares:i want to install zlib to certian directory. apt could not do this. [09:21] ktwo: if you enable the hardy-proposed repo openoffice 2.4.1 is in there [09:21] ace_suares: he want to make a jail [09:22] anyone have pulseaudio/alsa working with hdmi?

[09:39] please have a look here : http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html - does this mean that the latest version is not for ubuntu 7.10?

[09:49] i.e. right click to create a terminal window [09:49] datapolitical, not sure, but you could write a 1 line script and have that in your right-click menu, or set up a keyboard shortcut in ccsm for terminal (much simpler) [09:50] kahrytan, thats the uuid of the disk your trying to boot from -- in a terminal type sudo blkid to find out what the disks uuid is [09:50] datapolitical: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [09:50] Where can I download free templates for OpenOffice presentation?

[10:01] <_empemp_> Hi. I am having trouble to get my printer to work correctly. It is running on a ubuntu 8.04 computer and sharing is enabled. I find the printer and install it from another ubuntu 8.04 computer. It even print out a testpage. But when i try to print from an apllication it just won't print. Also when i try to verify the printer connection i got "printer is not accessible". Anyone familiar with this behaviour? [10:01] kahrytan, yes, you dont know how to add a new option to menu.lst [10:01] Bodsda, I want to add a extra line in grub menu (not menu.lst) that doesnt refer to a kernel or os. [10:02] Kartagis: did you disable atheros like the instructions said? and then run the commands again? [10:02] Im looking for a thunderbird extension fo sending mass html newsletters - anyone know of it? [10:02] kahrytan, listen carefully -- menu.lst IS the grub menu [10:02] surabaya [10:02] Bodsda, menu.lst IS THE CONFIG. not the grub menu [10:03] Bodsda, Grub menu is what you see a boot. [10:03] kahrytan, your not hearing me -- IT IS THE SAME THING!!! just not all of menu.lst is shown [10:03] please stop yelling. [10:03] Bodsda, welcome to ignore. goodbye [10:04] kahrytan, omg,.,. just please try to understand,.,. the things at the bottom of menu.lst are what the grub menu displays,.,.there is no other file that displays grub menu info [10:04] Does anyknoe how to add extra blank line to grub menu isng menu.lst config file? [10:04] Bodsda, it's not worth your breath, trust me. [10:05] Could someone please take a look at this and tell me why this package isn't installing? http://pastebin.com/d52ae0b87 [10:05] you can probably add the blank line in any text editor if you sudo the edit first [10:05] elkbuntu, i know,.,. maybe i should just link him to a hefty grub page [10:05] <_empemp_> anyone? [10:05] Bodsda, since he alleges he placed you on ignore, he wouldnt see the link to the man page that would confirm your instructions. [10:06] Bodsda, And you obviously DONT GET IT. I need to add freakin blank line to grub menu NOT MENU.LST config [10:06] thats where the grub menu options come from mate [10:06] lol [10:07] just don't touch the uuid while your there [10:07] lat: it seems you need a /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf [10:07] kahrytan: where do you think the menu list comes from? [10:07] ronin1234, whereabouts are you? :P [10:07] looking for something like xml-spy for (k)ubuntu [10:07] jamaica [10:07] ronin1234, I know. So there is option to add blank line using menu.lst [10:07] china [10:07] kahrytan, the return key does quite well for adding blank lines [10:07] hey hey [10:07] ne2k___, how do I get that file? [10:08] McDangerous, idle chatter belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:08] ronin1234, Bodsda just doesnt understand that any idiot can add blank line to menu.lst. But how do you add to grub menu? [10:08] yeah but no idea if it'll actually create a break more likely it would be parsed as whitespace and ignored [10:08] kahrytan, the instructions under the grub menu when you boot up tells you how to edit the grub menu from a grub editor. [10:08] go.pcripe.net:41444 [10:09] kahrytan, but, doing that is only ever temporary until the next restart [10:09] How long does it take for program updates to get to the repositories? I'm thinking especially of Opera. [10:09] I suppose you could use the 255th ASCII character as a blank to hold the line instead of just a carriage return?

I saw in system monitor the 700MB. so the cache is counted also before starting using the swap? [10:18] I have a small problem [10:18] ronin1234, i believe it remembers what folder you put your last torrent in and starts there each time, but you always have to specify iirc [10:18] hi guys, how can i change my local settings? im using ubuntu server. need to set its time and time settings to my native ones. [10:18] dxdemetriou, linux will always fill all available memory as cache first if possible [10:18] anyone got problem with the adress color in the firefox 3 bar?

[10:19] GibbaTheHutt, can I set how many memory will be used for cache? [10:19] my old linux is still there but i cant get to it [10:19] Bodsda: that was the real question [10:19] you want it to use all memory for cache, otherwise its just wasted, it will be freed as needed for any apps needing memory [10:19] grub? [10:19] doktoreas, no, question solved? [10:19] the adress bar of new Mozilla Firefox, show adress in a sort of gray [10:19] mehehool, yeah, the bootloader,.,. windows probably replaced it [10:20] doktoreas, see, you didnt ask your question..;~) [10:20] bodsda that sux how do i get it back [10:20] lol [10:20] i'd say my address bar is more of an off white [10:20] mehehool, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [10:21] ronin1234: it's not really friendly for reading? [10:21] doktoreas, i shouldnt worry about it now cause FF3 comes out 2moro [10:21] GibbaTheHutt, if it's that, so I'll have the problem even if I put another 2GB ram. I forgot to say that I use vmware with 512MB ram [10:21] probably you need to do the firefox fonts fix [10:21] dxdemetriou, hard to tell without seeing some specific figures on a nopaste site or similar [10:21] bodsda will this overwrite my old files?

My production server (Ubuntu Gutsy server) is being very bad right now. It's thinking that any unknown hostname is itself. What can I do about this?

[10:44] every single day [10:44] I give [10:44] up [10:44] bodsda how do i get to the old dual boot options i had before [10:44] at least windows doesnt give me problems like this [10:44] Hobbsee: he's getting the kernel file not found, however it would help to see the root partition differ from the gnome one to understand why the kernel image is missing- but not sahring information means I'm out [10:44] mehehool, sorry, im on the phone atm, gimme 10-15 mins,.,.sorry [10:45] windows and ubuntu aren't competeing [10:45] I'm trying to fully exit KDE/X Server to get to the command line to install my NVIDIA drivers, anyone tell me how? ctrl alt F1 doesnt actually close the X server :| [10:45] eviltim: you've said you give up 4 times now, either give up or wait for help [10:45] eviltim: ok - it seems windows is more your style then for now. You are welcome to try again with ubuntu later [10:45] bodsda my apologies ill wait [10:45] both OSes have valid pros and cons [10:45] Hobbsee, I tried with http://paste.ubuntu.com/20569/ [10:45] anyone can explain what VC++ Framework means? [10:45] NOW ikonia: are you sure you're using the right uuid's for the kernel not being found? [10:45] Hobbsee: nope, not sure, I can't see the uuid's [10:45]  I have a problem getting Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection work......here is the dmesg........http://paste.ubuntu.com/20571/ [10:45] hi.anyone has prblem before in headset audio in UBuntu Feisty [10:45] please help [10:45] kahrytan: that pastebin is useless. [10:45] i need to install VC++ Framework in wine .. anyone know what i should download from microsoft? [10:45] Hobbsee: I was going to run through that with him [10:46] Hobbsee, how so? [10:46] mehehool, right ok,.,. what was that link i gave you? [10:46] user_, please try #winehq [10:46] kahrytan: because it gives no way to check whether the partition that corresponds to that uuid even exists. [10:46] Hobbsee: as /boot will probably be off his root, and he'll have two /boots, hence why I needed/wanted to check [10:46] ikonia: most people don't do a separte /boot though [10:46] Hobbsee: exactly [10:46] i tried consult #alsa but it seems not helpful other than refer back to #ubuntu [10:46] Hobbsee: so his root is critical [10:46] Hobbsee: hence the check [10:46] kahrytan, if i give you one command that will help everyone immensely, will you run it (its not mallicous i promise) [10:46] Hobbsee, It's justmissing uuid. Rest are defaults from default ubuntu install. [10:47] kahrytan: is the UUID that you have listed in the ubuntu partition the correct one based on ls -la /dev/disk-by/uuid ? [10:47] Hobbsee, yes. i double checked that [10:47] Hobbsee, sudo blkid is easier to understand [10:47] kahrytan: is the root drive number correct? [10:47] kahrytan: your "/whois kahrytan" gives out better information about exploiting you than a usless uuid [10:47] kahrytan: your paranoid about security yet giving your ip address away in a public chat room with 1000+ users [10:48] * Bodsda gets out my ip hack kit [10:48] any help? [10:48] will anyone please help me [10:48] Pi^2: what type of device is it [10:48]  I have a problem getting Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection work......here is the http://paste.ubuntu.com/20571/ [10:48] Hobbsee, you mean root 0.3? [10:48] ikonia: it's a WD 500GB mybook (usb2.0 external hdd) [10:49] Hobbsee: the two /boot partitions may have different device.maps [10:49] Hobbsee, It is the third partition on the hdd. First is swap, 2nd is Ubuntu, third is Kubuntu. [10:49] kahrytan: then it should be hd0,2 [10:49] kahrytan: not 4 [10:49] kahrytan: have you taken into account the fact that the hard drives are numbered from 0, not 1? [10:49] not 3 [10:49] Pi^2: how many other disks are in the system ? [10:49] bodsda im not sure i lost it but it was about linux and windows and i was confused just reading it plus it was a conversation there were no answers [10:49] ikonia: one internal [10:50] i can't show divx with subtitle !!!! [10:50] Pi^2: so could you do an "ls- la /dev/sdb" for me please [10:50] ikonia, Seee? You didnt need full file to help [10:50] bodsda found it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212066 [10:50] ikonia: no such file or dir [10:50] Hobbsee, yes, it slipped [10:50] anyone?> [10:50] though it loaded it /dev/sdb1 earlier [10:50] @ikonia:  I have a problem getting Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection work......here is the dmesg........http://paste.ubuntu.com/20571/...help? [10:50] kahrytan: so, does it work with the fixed root number? [10:50] mehehool, tried this? -- http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_132.html [10:51] Pi^2: so it did load something earlier [10:51] Hobbsee, let me check. [10:51] ikonia: i could access the harddrive earlier, yes :) [10:51] i need to install VC++ Framework in wine .. anyone know what i should download from microsoft? [10:51] Pi^2: thats quite odd, could you paste the output of "lsusb" into a pastebin please. [10:51] user__: sounds like visual C++.. but you really should ask someone using windows.. not ubuntu-users [10:52] ikonia, have you got the disk uuids and menu.lst and fdsik from him yet? [10:52] Pi^2: obviouslt the device is detected as it shows up [10:52] jaivikram: do you have linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (or whatever your kernel type is) installed? [10:52] Bodsda: nope, I'm ignoring the issue now as I've not got all the info, for a 2 minute fix, I can't pull teeth [10:52] jaivikram: if not, install it, come back. also ntoe that the light doesn't work on hardy. [10:52] ughhhhhhhhhhh [10:52] Slart_ thanks :) [10:53] user__: you're welcome [10:53] ikonia, i have a command to give him that will give you all the info you need in 3 pastebinit links,.,. but he prob wont accept it from me [10:53] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20575/ [10:53] Bodsda: I could get the info, it's not a problem if he thinks it's a security risk, I'm not going to push for it any more [10:53] Pi^2: I don't think that is your drive [10:54] Pi^2: is this a laptop ? [10:54] ikonia: yup [10:54] Pi^2: yes, for some reason that disk is not showing up at all [10:54] hi [10:54] ikonia, ok dude, il see if Hobbsee needs it -- Hobbsee mind if i pm you? [10:54] Bodsda: go ahead [10:54] Bodsda: I'm sure she knows how to use blkid [10:54] ikonia: if it makes any difference, its an NTFS volume and it's encyrpted with TrueCrypt [10:54] ikonia: i've never used it actually. haven't really needed to [10:55] Pi^2: Hmmmmm that could make a difference to it not mounting, but not showing up in lsusb shouldn't [10:55] Hobbsee: you surpirse me [10:55] ikonia: i had it mounted as read only earlier with TC, and i could use it, however, after unconnecting it and reconnecting it later on in the day, it does not show up as a device [10:55] ikonia: i just use the straight ls -la /dev/disk-by/uuid/ [10:55] Hobbsee: all works the same [10:55] yeah [10:56] Pi^2: the trucrypt stuff could explain issues mounting it, but your not even getting that far, that fact that lsusb can't see it is a conern [10:56] concern [10:56] ikonia: indeed [10:56] Pi^2: is this laptop dual boot ? [10:56] ikonia: i dont expect it to automount [10:56] ikonia: no, full fledged ubuntu [10:56] Pi^2: do you still have the livecd ? [10:56] ikonia: yup [10:56] is there a chanel about GNU? [10:57] hi all [10:57] jee, check on /list [10:57] hello, how do I upgrade tar to 1.20 version? [10:57] Pi^2: this is a long shot, but could you try booting from that, tailing the messages file, and then plugging it in, seeing if it "detects" it any differeent, your hal/dbus system could be borked on your install (doubtful - but a long shot) [10:57] hi [10:57] Pi^2: do you have any other usb devices also, another drive, an pen, a fan etc [10:57] slushpuppy\, whats is wrong with the tar shipped with ubuntu ?

Consider using audacious instead. [10:58] slushpuppy\, you mean, it lacks lzma support ? [10:58] Hobbsee: It works.

[11:26] jonaskoe1ker: check 'man interfaces' [11:26] Kartagis, yes... [11:26] dougsko: the thing I'm concerned about is when I move my laptop from home to university, the interface doesn't go down, so no hooks will get run [11:26] Bodsda: I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/20563/ [11:26] dougsko: ... and so I won't run dhcp when I associate with uni-wlan [11:26] when I check dmesg [11:27] Kartagis, sorry, i have no idea what to suggest, apart from ask the channel [11:27] jonaskoe1ker: well, you can specify multiple separate networks in wpa_supplicant [11:27] jonaskoe1ker: you're configuring it though the regular GUI, right? Should Just Work. [11:28] achadwick: I'm hacking conffiles === jonaskoe1ker is now known as jonaskoelker [11:28] Hi all, I am tryng to get a netgear wg111 wireless usb to work. the forums say to use ndiswrapper but the v3 .inf file is not there, the driver is in a .exe file. I ran the exe file and it did unpack files but it did not give th .inf file. any ideas? [11:28] can i get help please? [11:28] can someone help? my system hangs on running boot scripts 'rc.local' [11:28] I got the error Error inserting wlan_scan_sta (/lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/net/wlan_scan_sta.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) when I did a modprobe wlan_scan_sta [11:28] as described on http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html. any ideas why? [11:28] what program should i use for video on you tube? [11:28] running hardy 8.04 [11:28] achadwick: is there a regular GUI for wpa_supplicant? [11:29] jonaskoe1ker: you just need to define all your networks in wpa_supplicant.conf, then set up your interfaces file to use it, and you should be good. and like i said, i think you can set up hooks in your wpa_supp file for when it goes up/down [11:29] when I check dmesg, I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/20563/ [11:29] jonaskoelker: then you probably want to turn off n-m and run something like ifplugd instead. But I've never played with that sort of thing for wireless. n-m works well. [11:29] iwlist scan [11:29] if I run hardy and a new version comes out.. willt he update manager update my GNU Linux to the latest version or will i have to burn another disc [11:29] ukubuntu: hmm.. I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a inf-file somewhere in there.. [11:29] will the* [11:29] Kartagis: that module either requires a depenant module, or is not compatbile with that kernel [11:29] Kartagis: where did you get that module [11:29] help help help [11:29] achadwick: last I checked, ifplugd hasn't been updated since 2005 [11:29] ukubuntu: but I might be wrong.. it's been a long time since I used windows [11:30] can someone help? my system hangs on running boot scripts 'rc.local' running hardy 8.04 [11:30] perplexed: whats in your rc.local ? [11:30] That would be consistent with when I last used ifplugd in anger, yes. [11:30] can someone help? my system hangs on running boot scripts 'rc.local' running hardy 8.04. The script only contains exit 0 [11:30] there should be but I guess they stpped after v2 [11:30] help help help [11:30] perplexed: is it set +x? [11:30] ikonia: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz [11:30] ozkelligirl: ask a question [11:30] Kartagis: looks like that module won't run against your current version [11:31] dougsko: yes [11:31] Kartagis: do a modinfo against it see if it needs a dependant module ? [11:31] perplexed: what is in it the rc.local ? [11:31] hi, how can i disable (and reenable afterwards) the wpa_supplicant and the nm-applet thing hardy normally uses for its wireless management. i need to use "iwconfig mode ad-hoc" and it always tells me the device is busy. [11:31] Can someone explain how I can tell whether my WiFi is working and how to find and connect to sites? I keep finding cryptic documentation that doesn't seem to correlate to anything I'm actually seeing. [11:31] perplexed: maybe have it echo something to a file so you can see if it's actually getting run [11:31] ikonia: thats the wrong link [11:31] what program can use to get video in you tube on ubuntu7.10 [11:31] ozkelligirl: flash [11:31] perplexed: what's the wrong link ? [11:32] ozkelligirl: firefox [11:32] perplexed: I didn't post a link [11:32] not working [11:32] I'm running Hardy on an Eee after updating everything and running the appropriate scripts... I think. === colourAgga`lunch is now known as colourAgga [11:32] http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/ [11:32] perplexed: I didn't post that [11:32] ozkelligirl<. do you have the package "ubuntu-restricted" installed? [11:32] i'll try firefox thanks [11:32] ozkelligirl: you have to install flash. i used the one from adobe's site [11:32] download the first and 3rd tarball [11:32] perplexed: I asked what was in your rc.local [11:32] ikonia: someone posted it 4 u. [11:32] im correcting them [11:33] perplexed: no they didn't they where expalining where they got a kernel module from [11:33] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20587/ [11:33] download the first and third tarball [11:33] perplexed: your not correcting them, it's where THEY got it from [11:33] @hobbsee: any ideas?...i tried fn+f2 and also the switch on my laptop....nothing works...i don't know what hw switch is it talking bout [11:33] well whoever is setting up their atheros ar5007 wifi adapter, i just got mine working [11:33] jaivikram: the hardware switch is fn+f2. i don't know, sorry [11:33] hp pavilion dv6000 [11:34] perplexed: heh yeah i had to compile my own to get my atheros card working [11:34] dougsko: well its getting run, my system was working fine [11:34] perplexed: I think mine may be working, but I can't quite tell for sure. [11:34] I cannot empty my trash can. even with sudo rm -rf /path/to/.trash [11:34] perplexed: i've been having exactly the same problem too [11:34] until i ran bum and stopped some services [11:34] rebooted and then bang. [11:34] perplexed: not bad though since now packet injection works [11:34] perplexed: wait, so your box isnt hanging anymore? [11:34] perplexed: and now i believe it is most likely because of xserver not being able to load the screen size right [11:35] :(...disappointed with hardy on the wifi part...can't help not saying that.. [11:35] perplexed: it's still hanging [11:35] yes [11:35] its still hanging [11:35] my nvidia driver was working fine [11:35] rebooted and everything [11:35] can someone tell me how to change a user password remotely away from the box ? [11:35] can i install flash 8 in ubuntu under wine ? [11:35] Who knows how to add blank link to grub? [11:35] my atheros wifi is working just lovely at thememebt [11:35] I think I have the Gnome network applet running, bit it doesn't seem to notice the Wifi, and I don't understand how I can tell otherwise. [11:35] idk what the prob is now. [11:35] perplexed: I just found this discussion, i havn't tried it yet [11:35] the moment* [11:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741826 [11:35] i heard they pulled back some propritary drivers...y? [11:35] jaivikram: yeah its weird that i never had any problems since breezy, but now madwifi is borked. although it did work fine on my laptop [11:36] hi, is there a way to change the expiration date of an X509 certificate ? [11:36] is there a way to install xfce without all the applications that come with Xubuntu ? [11:36] perplexed: what if you just get rid of you rc.local? since there's nothing really in it it shouldnt do anything but eliminate it as the cause [11:37] *frustrated* [11:37] dougsko: i was thinking of that, but i didnt want to intefere with the system at all. [11:37] hmm [11:37] is there a way to stop rc.local from being ran by init all together? [11:37] hi all. just checking into the ubuntu IRC.. I'll be lurking around, seeing if I can give help to anyone. ^-^ [11:38] dlozarie: Can you tell me how to get network-applet running (or if it already is)? [11:38] kelvin-p: read post #8 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=413975 did you try this? [11:38] @dougsko: can u look at this and give it a shot...http://paste.ubuntu.com/20584/ [11:39] perplexed: yeah, use update-rc.d [11:39] ohh thanks [11:39] how would the command look [11:39] i have to boot back into my ubuntu sys to do it [11:39] perplexed: thats how you enable/disable init.d scripts [11:39] dual booting this box [11:39] Is anyone seeing what I'm typing, or am I not understanding IRC either?????? [11:39] anyone got a script for transmission to watch for new torrents in a directory then oprn them? [11:39] jzitt, I'm afraid I really can't help you with that. I don't know much about it. [11:40] perplexed: I gave you the wrong address, it's http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=46&TopicId=21396&page_no=2 [11:40] jaivikram: looks ok to me. ive only ever seen ath0 and wifi0 devices though for atheros cards [11:41] *sigh* Maybe I should just give in and put XP on the damn thing. At least the interfaces are human-intelligible. [11:41] please help me empty my trash, there is one empty folder remaining [11:41] perplexed: update-rc.d -f rc.local remove [11:41] jzitt, I know Ubuntu's harder to work with, but try googling around, using diff. keywords. maybe then you'll find your answer. [11:42] perplexed: something like that [11:42] thanks [11:42] how do i change my runlevel? [11:42] cant even find inittab [11:42] this is crazy [11:42] THat's what I've been doing for the past several days. And, considering that I've been using UNIX-like systems for over 20 years, you'd think that I wouln't be this baffled. [11:42] distros change and change things [11:43] perplexed: no need, update-rc.d will take care of the details [11:43] anyone know how to resize and move the root partition? I can't unmount it when I'm booted in and if I boot from a live CD I don't have access rights [11:43] ikonia: can you help me with that? [11:43] thanks [11:43] There are lots of pages out there that claim to give information. and they contradict each pther and make unstated assumptions. [11:43] dougsko: what's with update-rc.d? would that get rid of the local.d and continue the boot? [11:44] brb [11:44] going to try [11:44] kelvin-p: yeah, itll disable the script in /etc/init.d from running on boot up [11:44] 'update-rc.d script defaults' gets it going again [11:44] Kartagis: did you disable atheros like the instructions said? and then run the commands again? [11:44] I follow instructions and run scripts and they break each other and say "now everything works" when it doesn't, and then the only source of support is hoping that someone who knows something happens to be in a chat room. [11:45] jzitt: you shouldnt just blindly follow instructions without trying to understand what youre doing first [11:45] thats what man pages and google are for [11:46] so no-one knows? [11:46] hey people [11:46] yo don't mean to but in but is this the ubuntu forums irc? my first time using irc so yeah.....? [11:46] legend2440: I don't have Restricted Drivers Manager [11:46] does oss work by default in hardy? [11:46] jzitt, if your running scripts that other people provide for you, you ought to trust them very well [11:46] in an upgrade from gutsy? [11:46] dougsko, I tried googling around with "ubuntu linux check if network-applet is running" and nothing relevant turned up. jzitt, can you tell me what keywords you used in your search? [11:46] I'm trying to use sound tracker [11:46] Yeah, yeah, and then trying to understand them you go down another level and think you understand them, then you discover that they're not using terms consistently and think you understand things already that you don't. [11:46] and I'm not sure if I just don't know how to use it [11:47] AmalgamX: this is the official irc-channel for ubuntu, yes [11:47] or if the sound output just isn't working [11:47] awesome! [11:47] so what do you guys do round here anyway? [11:47] , it is, isn't it? [11:47] just help each other solve computer problems? [11:47] You know, at this point I can't even tell *if* they're working. I may have it set up and just not understand it. [11:47] everytime i try to use "iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc" hardy tells me the device is busy, any1 knows how i can disable and afterwards reenable the ubuntu wlan management? [11:47] jzitt, persistance in anything is the key to becoming more than what we are. if you give up you wont ever learn, got to study and learn [11:48] jzitt: not grasping the wifi stuff isn't weird in any way.. I'm just happy it worked out of the box on my laptop.. judging by the amount of questions in here about wifi I think I'm part of a minority [11:48] Kartagis: anything about atheros in system>Administration>Hardware Drivers? [11:48] avis-: I've been doing this for several decades. Persistence isn;t the problem [11:48] dlozarie: you can check to see if any program is running with the "ps" command. try this: ps auxww |grep applet [11:49] jzitt, what exact problem are you encountering again? [11:49] dlozarie: 'pgrep' is also very useful for checking if certain things are running [11:49] hi [11:49] avis-: Do you remember the little blue book from Bell Labs announcing UNIX? I've been using this stuff since just after it came out. [11:50] hmm [11:50] how can i install cs3 under linux? [11:50] whatever you say jzitt you just sound very frustrated. if your scripts are breaking do something about it. we can say 'its so awful' all day long but that doesn't accomplish much [11:50] andreas__: adobe cs3? [11:50] yes [11:51] andreas__: you could try wine.. check appdb.winehq.org [11:51] andreas__: not sure what kind of rating it's got under wine.. there is a searchbox at that page [11:51] CS3 in linux hey...... [11:51] yes ... but i tried this.... and i does not run [11:51] dlozarie: I've installed Hardy, with the RiceeeTweak script and all appropriate updates, on my Eee. I think I have the gnome network applet running, but it isn't seeming to see the available Wifi, and the interface doesn't seem to look much like the pages that I see about it. [11:52] when i is installd id be platinium... [11:52] andreas__: then it doesn't work.. unless you want to try cedega [11:52] can someone help me adding a raid partition to fstab [11:52] have they even been able to get photoshop to run under wine? [11:52] cedega or crossover? xD [11:52] andreas__: there's also something called Cedega that can run window games [11:52] jzitt, the wifi isn't secured with a WEP key, is it? [11:52] andreas__: you could check if crossover office can do the job, but imho if wine cant do ti,.... [11:52] legend2440: I disabled both atheros entries using Hardware Drivers, issued the command modprobe wlan_scan_sta and got the same error [11:52] I know the Wifi networks are there, since the Windows box I'll typing at you from sees it. [11:52] dlozarie: Nope, it's open. [11:52] crossover can't run the installtion too [11:53] jzitt: are you using the drivers that came in the RestrictedModules package? === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda|AFK [11:53] can someone help me adding a raid partition to fstab [11:53] dougsko: Uh, how would I know? I know the script installed some stuff it referred to as "madwifi" [11:53] jzitt: I see. click on that small internet connection indicator icon near your system clock and see if any wifi networks are listed. [11:54] Hi all :) Anyone here who uses virtualbox to "run" windows on ubuntu? [11:54] jzitt: well i have no idea what script you mean, but i would suggest just reinstalling the madwifi drivers from source. thats what i ended up doing and it everything works fine now [11:54] perplexed: were you able to get it working with "update -rc.d -f rc.local remove?" because i tried it i'm still getting the same message. [11:54] sjefskua: ? [11:54] sjefskua: what's the problem? [11:54] can i connect to a open ad-hoc network and get the ip via dhcp with the wlan tool under hardy? it seems i cannot find the option "open" or "no encryption" when i try to connect to an ad-hoc network using the nm-applet preinstalled with hardy. [11:54] dlozarie: Umm, is that the one that looks like a couple of black terminals with a red triangle with an exclamation point in from of them? [11:54] kelvin-p: is your system hanging on rc.local too? [11:55] jzitt: this is what it would look like on regular ubuntu http://kirsten.urbanzone.com/blog/uploads/misc/ubuntu_network_manager.png [11:55] can someone help me adding a raid partition to fstab [11:55] dougsko: yeah [11:55] sjefskua: I used vbox before, but kvm now. [11:55] jzitt: and the network manager is usually two computers, one behind the other [11:55] tyler: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch26_:_Linux_Software_RAID [11:55] dougsko: The script appeared to do that, installing from source. === AutumnCa1 is now known as AutumnCat [11:55] AutumnCal: no problem so far :P i just wondered if someone uses it and can recommend it.. [11:55] uhm, I'm not quite sure how they look like. been a long time since I was without an internet connection. but yes that screenshot provided can show you. [11:55] jzitt: well, if you do it yourself, youll know exactly what's going on [11:56] sjefskua: yeah its great, especially the seamless mode [11:56] kelvin-p: thats weird. id be curious to see what itd do if you just moved rc.local to your home dir or something [11:56] Slart_: sorry did not see a reply as connction dropped alls well now, thx again [11:56] dougsko: In what sense would I know better than if I look at the script doing it, considering that much of what happens is utterly cryptic? [11:56] Slart_: did you ever do an unencrypted ad-hoc connection with that applet? [11:56] andash: soo i should try it out? [11:57] sjefskua: why not? =) [11:57] kora: hmm.. I don't think so, no [11:57] What is the best msn client? [11:57] mannyz: bitlbee! [11:57] if i try to join another channel will i be logged out of this one? [11:57] AmalgamX: no [11:57] andash: ok.. ;) [11:57] mannyz: now youre breaking up a fight *ggg* [11:57] aight sweet [11:57] Slart_: OK, that's the icon. When I click on it, I see a greyed out "Wired Network" and "Manual COnfiguration" [11:57] andash: hmm :D [11:57] kora: omg :D [11:58] Well I like pidgin [11:58] jzitt: well i would at least have a better idea on whats going on. if you want help troubleshooting, saying that some random script installed kernal modules doesnt help anyone [11:58] jzitt, can you see a "connect to wireless connection" button? [11:58] dougsko: this doesnt help me...i just need help with the fstab file....the raid ex3 partition is already made [11:58] but pidgin dosnt support webcams [11:58] jzitt: then your wifi stuff might not be recognized/setup properly [11:58] aMSN does [11:58] pidgin! [11:58] but i hate the outlook of the shitty thing [11:58] dlozarie: Not that I can see [11:58] can any1 here help me with pidgin? trying to understand what does "disconnect reason is 4" mean [11:58] jzitt, I meant "connect to wireless network". [11:58] no sign? [11:58] mannyz: i just use kopete since i like the look, even if im normally using xfce as deskop and not kde [11:58] tyler: there's a section on that page titled, "Edit The /etc/fstab File" [11:58] mannyz: i think you can compile aMSN with better fonts [11:58] dlozarie: Nope, not on that menu [11:59] andash hmm.. well i have to try ;) [11:59] jzitt: I don't know the mechanics behind it.. but when the network manager detects a wireless adapter you get the other stuff in there [11:59] kora, i will try kopete now [11:59] persi, have you tried the great Googly Woogly? [11:59] jzitt, and there isn't any wireless network listed? [11:59] why amsn ? pidgin works better [12:00] knightwise, not if you want to do anything other than text [12:00] yep, similar kind of bug was "resolved" recently with latest version, but I have it (2.4.2) and it persist [12:00] s [12:00] Haha "googly woogly" [12:00] thats awesome [12:00] even i have gnome on ubuntu studio.. is it possible to change to KDE? [12:00] dlozarie: When I click on "Manual Configuration", I do see "Wireless", "Wired", and "Point to Point" connections as possibilities, so I think it may be seeing the Wifi device [12:00] mannyz, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [12:00] jzitt: does modprob -l |grep ath show anything? [12:00] persi, did you find what the error actually means? that might help more [12:01] jzitt, yes that may well be the case. can you take a screenshot of the menu that appears when you click on the icon and upload it somewhere so we can take a look at it? [12:01] avis-, why aptitude and not apt-get? [12:01] hiptobecubic: aptitude used to be better at some things [12:01] nobody in the pidgin channel has a clue, some guy said it might be related to proxy, but licq and kopete in the past worked smooth [12:02] avis- is it possible to swtich between gnome and KDE then? [12:02] dlozarie: err, I could upload it if I could get the machine online. [12:02] hiptobecubic, aptitude installs less extraneous stuff, apt-get installs stuff that is often left behind on removing or purging. aptitude also lets you choose from different solutionns [12:02] sure mannyz through gdm [12:03] persi, tthere's no documentation of it at all? [12:03] avis-, ok thanks. [12:03] dougsko: It lists eight lines, each ending in .ko [12:03] ;o [12:03] mannzy, thats the login screen, select kde instead of gnome, and either make that default, or just for that session [12:03] jzitt, no thumb drive available or anything? wait, so you're chatting on a Windows machine while trying to fix your Ubuntu machine? [12:03] dougsko: I get wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dm-0, missing codepage or helper program [12:03] dlozarie: right [12:03] avis sounds good :o [12:03] dougsko: should i pastebin this for u? [12:03] of the specific problem? nothing google could see, only bug reports of that "resolved" issue [12:04] avis- umm.. I never used KDE.. i heard its more difficult to use but its more editable [12:04] jzitt, can you try clicking "manual configuration"? [12:04] i've come across an undeletable/unreadable file. what can i do about it? [12:04] even sudo is helpless with it [12:04] dougsko: when i boot it from the install cd it just hangs on /etc/rc.local, it doesn't let me go in to the installation process. [12:04] hiptobecubic: huh? what monster of a file is that? [12:04] * i00nsu olas [12:04] persi, no idea. has it always had this issue for you? [12:04] mannyz i've never liked it. alot of the rage these days is for kde4 which is in beta. i heard that was neat though buggy. you'd have to make some adjustments to try that out [12:05] mannyz, if you want to stay with gnome, you can use nearly alle kde programs under gnome too, they just work normally, and kde is more easy easy to onfigure than gnome imo [12:05] dlozarie: Yup, it brings up a "Network Settings" window with Wireless, Wired, and Point to point connection item [12:05] Slart_, it's in a trashcan on an old ntfs windows partition. it says there's an error entering or exiting the directory [12:05] well I`m yet to celebrate my 1st week with linux so yes it had, well thank you for your time [12:05] can't even look in with ls [12:05] jzitt, hmm. try hitting the "wireless" option. [12:05] thank you avis- and kora. I will stick on gnome :) [12:06] sure mannyz. good luck, enjoy [12:06] persi, sorry to hear you're having trouble right off the bat. at least IRC is working :D [12:06] tyler: i dont really know anything about setting up raid, i can just google fast :) [12:06] heh well yeah gotta entertain myself with that [12:06] hiptobecubic: ah.. ntfs.. the linux drivers are usable for day to day use.. but not when it comes to the weird cases.. do you dual boot? [12:07] hey [12:07] dlozarie: OK, it brings up a window with a lot of fields greyed out. Only "Enable roaming mode" (whatever that is) is showed as regular, and the checkbox next to it is checked. [12:07] kelvin-p: so this is the live cd, not a real installation? [12:07] yeah should i just find it the slow bloated way? [12:07] what is the best IRC client...? im using @Konversation [12:07] but its annyoing when i see those -> (n=subcode@athedsl-43455.home.otenet.gr). [12:08] jzitt, if you click unlock from there you can edit the networking preferences. [12:08] hiptobecubic: I would just boot windows and do a disk check on that disk.. see if it finds anything worth fixing [12:08] dougsko: it's the installation cd, i selected live installation [12:08] jzitt, hmmm. interesting. you're at the network settings window, right? [12:08] mannyz i love xchat. [12:08] a lot of people swear by irssi but i'm using xchat and i like it well enough [12:08] avis- omg :o.. thats the one i used 1 year ago :o [12:08] mannyz: the best irc-client is always the next version of the one you're not using... always ;) [12:08] avis-: I did click Unlock and saw what I described. [12:08] Slart_ yeah :D.. ! [12:09] kelvin-p: id double check the md5 sum of you cd to make sure its a good copy. or skip that and just make a new one [12:09] Slart_, figures. alright i'll do it later. [12:09] mannyz, its in the repos :) its not bad. there is another gnome xchat app you can see them but 'sudo apt-cache search xchat" [12:09] dlozarie: Yup, I am. I see the window that opened now is titled "atho Properties" [12:09] !irc | mannyz, just pick one... [12:09] mannyz, just pick one...: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [12:09] can someone help me with this fstab file....heres the pastebin.... http://pastebin.com/m77a4b918 [12:09] er, "ath0 Properties" [12:10] the only added line to the fstab is the last line [12:10] jzit: hmm. with the laptop that's running Ubuntu right now, do you have to press some sort of button to make the WiFi work? [12:10] i want to find ubuntu drivers for belkin wireless adapter please help me [12:10] Heres a fun one, for no reason i can find, the scroll portion of my touch pad turns back into regular touchpad space sometimes. i have to restart x to get it back. is there a way to reinitialize the mouse in the terminal or something? [12:10] *or should I say turn on the wifi. [12:10] i want to find ubuntu drivers for belkin wireless adapter please help me [12:10] hey yall, so the problem stands as, well, can enable wireless card and see wireless networks in vacinity [12:10] hi, is there a filemanager that is as userfriendly as Nautilus, but has two file panels like the mc? [12:10] tyler: you can mount the raid device form the command line, right? [12:10] avis- ill be back with xChat [12:10] jzitt, if you open a terminal and type iwconfig, if it lists something like wlan1 or ath0 or something along those lines, it'll tell you if its functional [12:10] dougsko: yes [12:10] and select the one to connect to and type in password, even be connected [12:10] tyler_d: whats the command you use? [12:10] but cant access the internet through it [12:11] has anybody had the problem where you install ubuntu hardy server and then do a sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop only to have it NOT work when you do startx ? [12:11] 13:08:15 you just see the wallpaper of the heron and then you see a command line box in the top left .. and thats it === i is now known as Inki [12:11] knitewise are you trying to install [12:11] how much ram on the machine? [12:11] anyone? [12:11] jzitt, yeah what avis- said. I typed iwconfig into my terminal and the wlan0 was functioning. try yours? [12:11] dougsko: well i did it yesterday and if i remember i just used sudo mount /dev /moves or something like that and it worked [12:11] moDumass, I was trying to do an apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [12:12] hmm, i know nothing === selocol is now known as lainy [12:12] moDumass, 2 gigs of ram [12:12] jsut ran into that installing on a laptop with too little ram [12:12] no idea sorry [12:12] avis- back :) [12:12] avis-: Yup, it lists ath0 is there, though it also listed a wifi0, lo, and eth0 with no wireless extensions [12:12] Inki: I can't see your question due to your annoyingly short nick.. repeat it === lainy is now known as selocol [12:12] how much extra disk space do I need approximately if i want to install ubuntu over xubuntu? [12:13] jzitt, so lo, eth0, wmaster0, and wlan0 have no wireless extensions? [12:13] this is giving me a headache [12:13] hi, is there a filemanager that is as userfriendly as Nautilus, but has two file panels like the mc? [12:13] tyler: yeah for the most part you just need a line like this in your fstab: /dev/foo0 /mnt/ defaults 0 0 [12:13] Does anyone know a screenrecorder program? [12:13] like camtasia studio [12:14] first i couldnt boot my sys rc.local hang, now i find a way to bypasss that and i cant even run startx [12:14] dlozarie: lo, eth0, and wifi0 have no wireless extensions, though ath0 has several lines of information [12:14] Inki: ah.. tried thunar? I can't remember if it's got 2 filepanes or not [12:14] tyler: you can find your by looking in /proc/filesystems for valid options. obviously, look for the one that looks like RAID [12:14] jzitt, if you look at the ath0 and wifi0 you'll see something like this Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm if you start seeing numbers, then whatever you did actually worked [12:14] hmmm. I see. [12:14] it just hangs [12:14] Slart_: no, will try it, thx [12:14] ubuntu is starting to give me a bad vibe [12:14] MannyZ: don't know if it's like the one you name. try recordmydesktop [12:14] avis-: Yup, I see exactly that, though with 98s instead of the 95s [12:14] jzitt, I'm googling around. Gimme a sec. :D [12:15] can someone else help me with this fstab... heres pastbin http://pastebin.com/m77a4b918 [12:15] Slart_: I like the k* stuff cause it's usually very usable [12:15] jzitt remember how you said there was a screen with "roaming enabled" checked you should be able to unlock that with the sudo password and configure your wireless settings there -- if its working. [12:15] avis-: That's for the ath0, not the wifi0 [12:15] exit [12:15] jzitt, you've tried opening up Firefox right? [12:15] blue-frog It dosnt have to be same :) just something that i can record my screen.. and produce an avi or something [12:15] Inki: elemFM2, but i can not seem to find a download [12:15] jzitt, wait but then again your network connection icon isn't three or four blue bars signifying network strength. [12:15] dlozarie: "Firefox is in offline mode", it saus. [12:16] perplexed: Tried sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start instead? [12:16] jzitt, okay. [12:16] I've got a dapper server, and for some reason crontab seems to have gone! [12:16] dlozarie: Right, I don't have the bars thing. [12:16] jzitt: just making sure :D [12:16] Inki: lots of file managers here.. perhaps a good starting place.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_managers [12:16] jzitt, thats great it looks like you have functional wireless. go to that little icon where you saw "roaming enabled" and unselect that (after unlocking it) the configure your wireless for the wireless device there with either static or dhcp === ben is now known as lokka [12:16] Inki: but it is on PartedMagic LiveCD [12:16] jburd: hangs [12:17] i removed dbus via update-rc.d -f dbus remove [12:17] how do i add it again? [12:17] avis-: OK, deselecting the roaming mode thing did make the settings settable, I think. [12:17] * i00nsu wow http://gizmodo.com/391283/40-hours-of-illustrator-time+lapsed > grande desenho!! [12:17] jzitt, that's good. [12:17] Ok.. I isntalled record my desktop :D.. and i cant find it from my programs -.- [12:17] indeed jzitt :) you got it. go ahead and configure the wireless. copy and paste your auth key and all that. dhcp will work if you dont need ports open on that machine :) [12:17] MannyZ: then recordmydesktop should do. the man page is pretty straight forward and xwinfo can give you the pid of a window [12:17] perplexed: Err, why did you remove it in the first place? [12:18] didnt think i needed it [12:18] blue-frog, where the program went :D:D? Cant find it -.- [12:18] can someone else help me with this fstab... heres pastbin http://pastebin.com/m77a4b918 [12:18] perplexed: Let that come from experience and reading not guesswork. [12:18] Slart_: thx [12:18] Inki: http://lottalinuxlinks.com/files/emelfm2_0.3.6-1_i386.deb [12:18] jburd: ok [12:19] how do i add it back to boot? [12:19] dlozarie: And I see the Wifi hosts! Hmm, not clear how to connect to an insecure host, though -- it has four options for WEP and WPA, but not having one isn't an option, I don't think. === avis- is now known as avis === praet^ is now known as praet [12:19] jzitt, that's good! [12:19] jzitt, just click on a host, I think. :D [12:19] Here's the easy way. Install sysv-rc-conf, and enable 2, 3, 4, and 5 run levels for dbus [12:19] using sysv-rc-conf @ perplexed [12:20] jzitt: if that doesn't work, get back to us. ^_^ [12:20] whats the hard way? [12:20] MannyZ: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop (in universe) [12:20] and why cant i connect to my wireless network? [12:20] its lised in iwlist scan [12:20] mmm... [12:20] listed* [12:20] i usually connect to it in gnome [12:20] but i cant startd [12:20] startx [12:20] Perhaps you can solve one problem at a time. [12:20] and its not doing it automatically [12:20] jburd: i cant download anything without it [12:20] * jburd has to go. [12:21] Slart_: that list is pretty concise, but I can't which one is a) graphical or b) has two panels :-) [12:21] jzitt, the easy way to connect to unencrypted is to not define it. instead right click on that icon and select the unencrypted wireless [12:21] I've lost sound through my right speaker - it definitely works, I can reboot into Windows and it works - and I've checked the alsamixer levels are turned up and enabled for both sides [12:22] Inki: http://lottalinuxlinks.com/files/emelfm2_0.3.6-1_i386.deb , it is graphical and has two panels [12:22] this is using gutsy [12:22] should I have esd installed? [12:22] wonder how jzitt is doing. [12:22] atlef: I don't want to install anything I can't see synaptic package manager [12:22] heyas. I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to get diablo 2 running under wine (a platnium rating) but am having trouble. wine is outputting an error of "libGL error: drmMap of framebuffer failed (Cannot allocate memory)" . the people in wine have checked the pastebin logs, but have said it seems to be something broken in X not in wine, and to ask in here [12:22] Inki: ok [12:23] avis: OK, So I selected that, and went to COnfiguration and selected DHCP... [12:23] * i00nsu adeus LCD e Plasma > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6uOxOR_n5I ^^ [12:23] jzitt, the easy way to connect to unencrypted is to not define it. instead right click on that icon and select the unencrypted wireless [12:23] jzitt, what's the network status icon look like now? [12:23] right click the networking systray app jziitt, and select your network [12:23] any suggestions? [12:23] where should I be looking? [12:23] dlozarie: Stiil the two computers. [12:24] dlozarie: And firefox can't find the server. [12:24] jzitt: oh. hmm. tried avis' suggestion? [12:24] is there anyone here who has successfully used wine in ubuntu hardy 8.04, with wine and ATI fglrx? [12:24] jzitt, quoting avis: "the easy way to connect to unencrypted is to not define it. instead right click on that icon and select the unencrypted wireless" [12:24] jzitt, can you right click on that "two computer" icon [12:24] now after I've installed konsole, konversation opens urls in Lynx :-/ [12:24] avis: When I right click, I get "Enable Networking", "Connection Information" (greyed), "Edit Wireless Networks", and "About" [12:24] anyone know what I can do to get my right speaker working again? [12:24] it's been working for a year [12:25] hey all. I forgot the IP address of my router (4p switch, wifi ap, 1 wan-port). How can I discover it? [12:25] and has suddenly stopped [12:25] I'm sure it's a software problem [12:25] victamower: check the levels in alsamixer [12:25] jzitt, be sure enable wireless is checked. you might have it turned off [12:25] jzitt, I think you hafta hit anable networking. [12:25] *enable [12:25] jrib: I have checked them, they're fine [12:25] "Enable Networking" is checked. [12:26] jzitt, and still no icon change? [12:26] actually, one is muted! [12:26] dlozarie: Right [12:26] how do I unmute it? [12:26] :( noone answering a yes is not a good sign. [12:26] victamower: m [12:26] are you able to select "enable wireless" because of that option is not there, your wifi is probably not working. if you are able to select it (enable wireless) then you should be able to right click and select whatever network [12:26] jrib: m unmutes one and mutes the other! [12:26] victamower, try that speaker icon on the upper right of your screen. [12:27] victamower: press h for help. I think it's < and > that you want [12:27] jrib: < it was, thanks [12:27] avis: I don't see and "Enable Wireless" option, just the "Enable Networking" [12:27] thanks for your help [12:27] jzitt, try clicking the button for your WiFi. I assume you have one on your laptop? [12:27] jzitt, thats not good news jzitt. it should be there if you had a working wireless === Bodsda|AFK is now known as Bodsda [12:28] dlozarie: It was on. Clicking it turned it off, clicking it again turned it back on. [12:29] jzitt, I see. [12:29] avis: I do have the "Edit Wireless Networks" item, though. [12:29] jzitt, click that. [12:29] jzitt, you might want to look at your /etc/network/interfaces file and make sure those two devices are enabled there. then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then try sudo ifdown wifi0 or sudo ifup wifi0 or wlan0 or whatever devices you have defined [12:30] jzitt, yeah you could try the stuff avis said. [12:30] dlozarie: OK, it should a "Wireless Newtorks: window with none listed. [12:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 jzitt here is a good cli way of doing it [12:30] jzitt, no wireless networks? hmmm. weird. [12:30] jzitt, try the terminal commands avis- mentioned. [12:31] My USB mouse doesn't work. How to fix that [12:31] jzitt, if your /etc/networking/interfaces is ok. the try sudo ifdown wifi0 then ping www.google.com then sudo ifup wifi0 then ping www.google.com. usually the device will be activated on the ifup when you do it in that order [12:31] abdulla, unplugging and replugging? [12:31] abdulla, need more info [12:31] Nope. [12:31] Doesn't help [12:32] bazhang, well I tried configuring my touchscreen with evtouch [12:32] After messing with xorg it doesn't work anymore [12:32] abdulla, have you checked to make sure the mouse isn't destroyed? [12:32] Enough info bazhang ? [12:32] yes it works on my other ubuntu pc [12:32] abdulla, what did you change in xorg [12:33] hi......... [12:33] I added the evtouch "Input Device" [12:33] Also added it to "SeverLayout [12:33] That's it, [12:33] hi.............. [12:33] !hi [12:33] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:34] avis-: I think /etc/network/interfaces is OK, to the extent that I can make any sense of it. I see a line with "iface ath0 inet dhcp" followed by one with "wireless-essid: linksys" (and linksys is the name of the network I connected to) and then a blank line and then "auto ath0" [12:34] hi ... during my boot-up there are several options of older versions .. how do i remove em .. secondly does it save space on my hard drive if i remove them ?? [12:34] So nobody will help? [12:34] jzitt, still no net connection after that? [12:34] can someone tell me how to get quicktime to work for mozilla? coz i've downloaded the codecs [12:34] i mean the plugins, not the codecs [12:34] abdulla, I'm sorry but as far as I know, those kinds of problems rarely occur. [12:34] Vegombrei, negligible amount of space [12:35] abdulla, you could try googling around. [12:35] Should I modprobe anything? [12:35] bazhang: ok .. so i guess ill just ignore it [12:35] Vegombrei, best to have a couple of older ones around [12:35] hi [12:35] hi arkos49 [12:35] !hi [12:35] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:36] jzitt, be sure that there is a "auto ath0" in that file. then do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. it sounds like its configured to connect to the "linksys" SSID if that is not correct, change that, then restart networking. then do sudo ifdown ath0 then ping www.google.com the sudo ifup wifi0. that usually does the trick [12:36] avis So does that mean my /etc/network/interfaces is OK? Should I do the other commands? === theghost is now known as TheGhost [12:36] abdulla, Im not really sure, but sounds like it might be risky. [12:36] jzitt, i've helped you all i can. if thats not enough information, then i dont know what to tell you other than dont give up [12:36] i'm french :) ! I want to install my epson all in one dx 4450 on hardy [12:36] avis-: OK, trying it. [12:37] arkos49, you ok with the english channel? or would you like #ubuntu-fr ? [12:37] arkos49, after connecting the printer to the computer and switching it on, test-print. [12:37] bazhang: but if i boot from an older version would it still have the new software i installed on the current version ?? [12:37] jzitt: if all else fails, try reinstalling the drivers manually. i needed to do that on two of my computers [12:37] Vegombrei, best to boot with the most recent one; if something goes wrong though nice to have older ones around [12:37] oops [12:38] arkos49, from what I heard, Ubuntu has native drivers for most printers. If not, then my motto comes into the equation: "Life has questions. Google has answers." ;) [12:38] avis-: I got SIOCSIFADDR no such device followed by two lines each saying "ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device" [12:39] jzitt, not good. :-? [12:39] Hi [12:39] jzitt, does ifconfig show ath0 [12:39] dlozarie : any native driver failed with my epson [12:39] its iwconfig for wireless [12:39] arkos49: hmm. what's your printer model again? [12:39] dx4450 [12:39] ifconfig -a will whos all of you interfaces, up/down/wireless/wired [12:40] bazhang: Nope, it doesn't. Nor does iwconfig now === chmac7 is now known as chmac [12:40] Umm, I can't delete a folder from the garbage bin. I suspect is coz in that folder I had some files that need root to modify etc... [12:40] nor does infconfig -a [12:40] jzitt, is this a new development, ie did it show before [12:40] so when I delete it from "user", it just sticks in the garbarge bin... [12:40] bazhang: Right [12:41] jzitt, since when eg what changed to lose it [12:41] bazhang: It seems to have gone away when I did that restart. [12:41] dlozarie: the scanner is working fine but the printer failed [12:41] jzitt, what does lspci say about that card (one line) [12:41] arkos49, I see. I'm googling around. hold on. [12:41] bazhang: Wireless isn't showing up in the Network Settings anymore either [12:42] dlozarie: thx [12:42] jzitt: does modprobe -l|grep ath show anything? [12:42] i got 8.04lts ce ubuntu an want to get e17 how do i do it? [12:42] forum thread I suppose [12:42] Sertse You can use gksudo nautilus and go remove it from your .Trash that way .. Use caution, that command is not fogiving if you make a mistake [12:42] loner269: E17, as in, the nineties pop boyband from london? [12:42] !trash [12:42] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [12:42] no [12:42] ne2k__, no.

[12:43] hi I have a problem with nautilus too [12:43] it gives a fatal error after login [12:43] bazhang: lspci spews a lot of info. SHould I grep for something specific?

[12:46] Jack_Sparrow: coming right up sir [12:47] arkos49, is there a "change" option next to the "make and model"? [12:47] use madwifi for atheros working for me with 5006EG ang 5007 [12:48] jzitt, i'm as confused as you are. i'm trying to figure it out here so i can help you and i can't. gnome's network manager has changed and its not very intuitive for me [12:48] esperanza is dead. I meddled with server preferences and it is dumb. The preferences is alsa. My ESD works fine. How to change preferences? [12:48] ahh that worked thanks [12:49] 123 exp [12:49] dlozarie: to change model? [12:49] arkos49: Yup, using madwifi (I think).

[12:50] !find madwifi [12:50] avis: Yeah, I had been used to an earlier one, I think.

[12:50] Kartagis: use madwifi [12:51] tyler yep [12:51] avis: This all started because I decided to go from the default Xandros (which worked OK, for the most part) to Ubuntu.

What distro or release are you running.. Not ubuntu? [12:56] jzitt: if that works for you, you should save those instructions, because youll need to repeat them if you update your RestrictedModules package. or you could freeze that package, but it only takes a minute to run those commands [12:56] hey all, so i installed kubuntu-desktop you know to check out kde [12:57] moDumass You select it under options where you login [12:57] Jack_Sparrow: movies is the one im having trouble with...Movies is ok....ubuntu 8.04 hardy [12:57] whats the difference between kubuntu desktop and kubuntu desktop for kde4 [12:57] gnome vs kde [12:57] !kde4 [12:57] KDE 4.0.4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[13:01] jack_sparrow: yes i went to cd to /media then i typed ls -la [13:01] i get negative percentages for completion! [13:01] it shows that in the pastebin [13:01] bye friends!

[13:02] really [13:02] will I run into many incompatability issues if i install 64bit ubuntu, for example, can I still install 32bit applications?

[13:04] dougsko: if you have tried or are using 64bit ubuntu, how is/was your experience [13:04] idefine, I use 64bit with no problems at all [13:04] rconan: im just messing around dude. there are lots of people here who are not actually using ubuntu yet [13:04] rconan: are you using 8.04? [13:04] idefine, yes [13:05] idefine, I am running it, the only issue I have found is with the java web plugin [13:05] i have a logitech quickcam chat and some webcam programs, yet the brightness is very dark. how can i change that? [13:05] anyone? [13:05] idefine: ive never used it, ive always just heard that the better choice is 32bit because its the most supported [13:05] joaopinto: did you use the ns wrapper? [13:05] dougsko, there are no major issues with 64bits lately [13:05] dougsko, I've been using ubuntu and/or linux for many a year now. i even used warty when it was current [13:05] jack_sparrow: u see it now? [13:05] and much before that [13:06] http://pastebin.com/m195f1cfa is what you gave me earlier [13:06] idefine, I just use the ubuntu packages, I am not sure they rely on nswrapper [13:06] rconan: ok [13:06] jack_sparrow: sorry [13:06] joaopinto: so you did get the java web plugin working? [13:06] are anyone of you using s/pdif with pulseaudio? [13:06] java plugin is still non-existant i thought [13:06] idefine, no I did not [13:06] tyler I am going to make some coffee.. perhaps someone else can help you out with that [13:06] OK, well, I edited those lines out of /etc/network/interfaces then did the restart thing, and the ... oh, hell, menus have changed, things are worse, I think, I don't understand what I'm seeing. Who knows what;s broken. You all have been quite helpful, but juggling all these streams of contradicting information, I now have no idea what I'm seeing anymore. [13:06] ojh [13:07] luckly i dont need java based web pages :P [13:07] anyway to get 32bit ubuntu to recognize 4gb of ram, without having to install 64bit. [13:07] thanks....can anyone else help with a permissions problem im having with a new drive i added to fstab [13:07] idefine, there's the kernel/userspace split thing. [13:07] IIRC [13:08] jzitt, what i suggest you do shouldn't change your menus. it ought to enable a drop down list with a right click though. i hope you only removed lines that appeared to have something to do with ath0. [13:08] ahmed slt [13:08] idefine, I believe the server optimized kernel includes a patch for that [13:08] té là? [13:08] but the server kernel is not low latency [13:09] avis: Yeah, I did, and I saved a backup copy. The menus changed. I'm guessing that things work differently in some obscure way that whoever programmed it didn;t bother to tell people about, and we're just hosed. [13:10] hullo..can anyone help me out with my nautilus problem?? [13:10] joaopinto: would ubuntu server come with that? [13:10] idefine: Yes. [13:10] hi t all!

[14:05] Ganandorf: it doesnt matter, but better keep your data on separate partition/drive [14:05] Does anyone know how to install Amarok MP3 support manually?

Fighting with a Hardy install on a Lenovo N100 laptop. After the install I am able to get the wifi running, which use the IWL3945 drivers, but after I do the first software update the wireless gets borked and I don't see any networks. Which package is being updated to break the install and how do I stop it from being installed? [14:46] MannyZ: some of them lol [14:46] MannyZ: you'll get use to it [14:46] MannyZ: stick around here and answer some questions.. after a week or two you'll know them too =) [14:46] I'm a webdeveloper. I recently went to 1900x1200 screen: is there a way to devide my screen in two parts with a shortcut or something. I want my commandline VIM to be like 700px wide and 100% high and the rest for my browser. I'm realy getting tired of adjustting the windows to fit [14:47] Slart_: right [14:47] re [14:47] Slart_ yeah.. Im willing to help people with everything i have learned from you guys+ the stuff i might allready know :D [14:47] enquest: there's always 'Awesome' window manager and stuff like that, tiling window managers ;) [14:47] enquest: something like a "arrange my windows" button somewhere? [14:47] i have a kernel installed and i can boot in, but there is only a basic shell. how can i install the base system? (fe. /etc is empty). [14:47] tech0007, Version: 1.0~rc5~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1 [14:47] I`m using this guide: http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2006/10/13/xubuntu-easily-switch-keyboard-layout/ how do I make the file executable? [14:47] bullgard4: that output shows that is has been chown to ur user and group [14:48] MannyZ: you got it! [14:48] neil`-: what are you installing? regular ubuntu? [14:48] Slart_, Ambient yes, where can I find this? [14:48] Slart_, yes just for server [14:48] bullgard4: i am not sure how mc works, but could you reopen mc and check if it is still root? [14:49] ruiboon: I closed mc. I reopened mc. Same result. [14:49] persi: chmod can do that.. or right click on the file and use th eproperties [14:49] tech0007, whoopie :) thanks the 10th time :D [14:49] MannyZ: np [14:49] enquest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager [14:49] neil`-: the server install doesn't install/setup the /etc folder?!?!?

[14:50] persi: is the file owned by root? [14:50] Vlet: rtorrent is capable of this [14:50] Slart_, i have no cd rom and i installed from flash drive but it frozen at installing grub. so i just restarted and now i'm triing to install from console. any idea? [14:50] anyone know how I can get Ekiga run with Jack? [14:50] I believe if it wouldn`t, I wont be able to save it in usr/bin/ in the first place, right? [14:51] use super grub disk to install grub or lilo [14:51] persi: then either do it using the command line and use sudo chmod.. or start thunar as root (which is like a very very very sharp knife ie useful if you know what you're doing... very dangerous if you don't) [14:51] Vlet: though I've never used it myself [14:51] Any programs to make sfw files? (flash) [14:51] is there a manpage for unistd.h? which package? [14:51] swf? XD [14:51] if it already installed to partition and you just need grub [14:51] Hrundik1: thanks - I'll go read up :) [14:52] is there a remasterme for windows, or an application similar to it? [14:52] neil`-: ah.. that explains it.. well.. I have no idea how ubuntu installs all the stuff... I wouldn't keep poking at an unfinished install.. I'd reinstall until it worked [14:52] yeah already got the idea about the sharp knife, but is there a way to start it as a root from gui? or i should always use terminal? [14:52] Cedega or wine to play .exe games? [14:52] ill try, thnx [14:52] bullgard4: could you try to recreate a new directory and check if it is still under root. if so, try changing it to your user. next check if terminal and mc display the correct user/grp [14:52] persi: from a gui.. well.. alt+f2 and write "gksudo thunar".. but please.. be careful [14:53] by [14:53] cedega if you have it [14:53] ikonia: do u know in which channel i can get some help about the block device performance issue that we discussed earlier? [14:53] or which ever works quicker [14:54] Well i heard cedega is a little slow and heavy [14:54] ruiboon: How should I 'recreate' a new directory? [14:54] how do i make my windows partition automatically mount on boot? [14:54] Hi, [14:54] uffff *removes sweat from the forehead* done! :) [14:54] bullgard4: create a new directory like how you created detlef2. the name of the dir doesnt matter [14:54] persi: =) [14:55] G'day all, is BASIC available for Hardy?

I have posted my rout -n and ifconfig and cat /etc/resolve.conf here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20619/ [15:10] tech0007: I am guessing that the "client-error-not-possible" message comes the second time I try to cancel the job because it has already cancelled once. But the job still appears to be in the queue (according to the "Document print status" window. I think perhaps the real problem is that the printer status shows "Stopped" rather than idle [15:10] What am I doing wrong [15:10] ?

Thanks (i am not entirely sure on that) [15:13] oldenglish: try creating that dir [15:13] ruiboon: Yes, I have configured this partition so that it mounts at boot time. [15:13] ruiboon: a user won't own a partition [15:13] emilioeduardob: System-Administration-Services [15:13] emilioeduardob: disable? almost anything can be stopped using /etc/init.d/ stop [15:13] <^Migs^> I'm repartioning my workstation, and I want to combine the two 160GB hard drives into a logical volume. Do they both still need different mount points? [15:13] i'm trying to chroot into an LVM partition with the 8.04 desktop livecd, i've installed LVM but i can't get it to show the partitions in /dev. any ideas? [15:13] <^Migs^> this is through the GUI [15:13] emilioeduardob: for example.. to stop samba youd run "sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop" [15:13] wich one you prefer.. KSniffer or DSniffer? [15:14] tech007: I don't even have a /usr/local/var directory... [15:14] ikonia: oo. i remember doing something like that. must be my memory. so is there anyway for a user to create files/dir in that mount point without using sudo? [15:14] Slart_: but can i prevent it from starting each time i reboot? [15:14] oldenglish: 'sudo mkdir /' [15:14] ruiboon: sorry, I may have miss-understood, whats the actual question [15:15] I have a problem with packages, more info: http://qu.dy.fi/~quarterlife/ubuntu-problem.txt [15:15] i was looking at the 8.04 release notes and i do believe that the new network manager changes may have affected me. my internet connection works most of the time, but occasionally (about once a week), it quits working. after it goes down, ifconfig eth0 up/down, dhclient eth0, and dhcpcd eth0 don't help anything... so, how do you "re-enable them in /etc/network/interfaces manually" as the notes say? [15:15] 8.04lts ce hates me for tryn to get e17 an i dont know why lol lol [15:15] bullgard4: type 'id' in a terminal. This will tell you your uid and gid. Add those to /etc/fstab under options.

I guess somehow you should be able to do that.. I haven't actually stopped something from running.. I usually uninstall it if I don't want it === austin is now known as doorknob60 [15:15] well how is e 17 [15:15] LOWER_CASE: I'm not interested thanks [15:16] emilioeduardob: there is a "service" dialog in system, administration.. perhaps you can do something there [15:16] bullgard4: if it says 'defaults' at the moment, it should say 'uid=1000,gid=1000' afterwards (if 1000 is your gid and uid; no spaces) [15:16] Slart_: i'm running ubuntu server =P [15:16] <^Migs^> okay wait, do I specify BOTH my /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as "logical" if I want to use LVM? [15:16] emilioeduardob: oh.. no dialow for you then [15:16] <^Migs^> then what do I use as the mount point for each? [15:16] <^Migs^> they can't both be "/" can they? [15:16] tech0007: I know how to create a directory...I would imagine there are some contents of that file/directory that would need to be there for it to work.

I will see the result only in 10 mins after rebooting. [15:16] emilioeduardob: what exactly do you want to do? [15:17] ikonia: the user has added an entry in /etc/fstab for a partition be to mounted at /home/detlef/detlef2/. this dir is owned by root. sudo chown does not seem to change the owner (should because this is a mount point) [15:17] soundray: i want to disable for example firebird from starting automaticly each time i reboot [15:17] ikonia: sorry I'm not selling. I was wondering if it worked before buying one. [15:17] oldenglish: its trying to create a socket in that dir [15:17] ruiboon: a mount point is just a directory === lmr is now known as lmr[lunch] [15:17] tech0007: ok [15:17] LOWER_CASE: how do we know if it works ??? check if it's supported or not and decide if you want to take that chance [15:17] <^Migs^> ikonia, I set them both as logical using ext3, but the Ubuntu GUI says it needs a mount point [15:17] emilioeduardob: 'sudo update-rc.d firebird remove' will work if a /etc/init.d/firebird exists. [15:17] with KSniffer you can see other peoples mail and stuff :D? [15:18] ^Migs^: logical ??? I thought you want to use lvm [15:18] soundray: great! thanks =) [15:18] <^Migs^> it's not the same thing? [15:18] ^Migs^: no [15:18] <^Migs^> wait, how do I do this [15:18] emilioeduardob: for some services, you will have to use the -f option. man update-rc.d [15:18] <^Migs^> I'm installing Ubuntu for the first time [15:18] soundray: id returns uid=1000(detlef), gid=1000(detlef) [15:18] <^Migs^> and I'm at the partition menu. If I want them to function as the same volume, what do I do? [15:18] soundray: is that a linux thing? or an ubuntu thing? [15:18] ^Migs^: don't use lvm for your first install, just install to a normal - flat physical disk [15:18] <^Migs^> oh, ok [15:18] <^Migs^> will do [15:18] ikonia: yap. i understand that. but the chown will only work until the next mount.

[15:51] soundray: ah, i see... so i just remove icedtea-webplugin and that should fix it? [15:51] anyone ever had a strange NFS problem where a group of a user is not recognized? [15:51] soundray, ruiboon, tech0007 : Thank you very much for your help. [15:51] Hideme: well, a friend at work was asking the same question some time ago and it was wake-on-lan (I had a good laugh) [15:51] sportman1280: if the Sun plugin package is still in place, then probably yes. You will have to restart firefox. [15:52] Oh, and I would like it to be cross platform [15:52] kyncani Agreed that has caught most of us at some time or another.. [15:52] soundray: thanks, ill look into it from here [15:52] Jack_Sparrow: yeah :)) [15:52] Greetings all [15:52] jrib: I missed pitivi, thanks for that, trying it now [15:53] Wow... So I got ssh -X to work... Do people actually use this? lol it's so unbearably slow... Like slower than mstsc in Windows [15:53] ASULutzy: try ssh -CX (turns on compression) [15:53] for you academics in here, i just discovered zotero which is wonderful as a reference manager, check it out :) [15:53] Ah ok [15:54] Thx, bye [15:54] ASULutzy: even then, it's unbearably slow on Suns, but manageable on Linux and Mac if the machine is fast. [15:54] ASULutzy: u can try remote desktop viewer or terminal server client [15:54] hi, i am looking to install ubuntu on a computer that has no monitor (but has a CD Drive). I only have a laptop. How do I go about installing ubuntu on it remotely? can someone link me to a guide? [15:54] soundray: That's noticeably better [15:55] soundray: I just typed gedit and it worked... It was slowish, but I can deal with it... Honestly I never really care to forward X, I can't think of a reason I'd actually need to [15:55] soundray: Just liked playing around with it [15:55] hi to all, im' using kubuntu hardy on eeepc 900, i have a problem with integrated microphone on skype, it not record my voice [15:56] Can someone please pm me about getting the live cd to work on a compaq nc6000? === tofaffy|lappy is now known as tofaffy [15:56] filo1234: I'm sure eeeuser.com has the answer in the wiki [15:56] McChic1: much better to describe the actual problem and get help in the channel [15:56] filo1234: (still using 7.10 on eee 701 here) [15:56] how can i make my ups shutdown hardy in 3-5 minutes after a power outage? [15:57] hi, i am looking to install ubuntu on a computer that has no monitor (but has a CD Drive). I only have a laptop. How do I go about installing ubuntu server on it remotely to make it a webserver? can someone link me to a guide? [15:57] soundray: i removed the sun version, still have the same issue [15:57] McChic1 the most common fix is.. At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [15:57] soundray: i did restart the browser [15:57] Thanks, Jack, but I'm not getting that far. I can't get it to boot from cd [15:58] Keeps booting to xp [15:58] sportman1280: if your configured jvm is Sun (as your update-alternatives indicates), you should *install* the sun java plugin and remove every other. [15:58] McChic1 Did you burn the cd yourself? [15:58] Yeah [15:58] McChic1 looking at the cd with windows.. do you see one .iso file or multiple files and folders [15:59] soundray: well the icedtea is just suns opensource i will go with that, so i removed all of the sun java components [15:59] When I upgraded to Hardy a few weeks ago after I rebooted the computer I noticed that my bcm43xx wireless card's driver didn't automatically modprobe. But when I went and opened the blacklist the driver was there. What should I do to make it automattically modprobe like it did on Gutsy? [16:00] sportman1280: it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you end up with a plugin that matches the JVM that's present and configured on your machine. [16:00] Just the iso [16:00] anyone knows why the compiz "application switcher" sometimes just shows an application's icon and not the small preview picture? [16:00] Flare183: take it off the blacklist then [16:00] McChic YOu burned the cd wrong.. You need to burn it as an image not as a file. [16:00] actually, I'll brb. Gonna boot from livecd, make a recovery patition [16:00] install steam with cedega or whine? [16:00] soundray: thats what i thought. but it still isnt working... i have openjdk being used as the jvm [16:00] k, how do I do that? [16:00] !burniso | mcchic [16:00] mcchic: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [16:00] ASULutzy: some applications (Java notoriously) are very bad with forwarded X, because they refresh too much for nothing [16:01] McChic you can use a number of windows toold to do it including free ones like isorecoreder [16:01] thnx [16:01] McChic you can use a number of windows toold to do it including free ones like isorecorder [16:01] w00t got vmware to install in Hardy [16:01] that sucked [16:01] kyncani: I found " cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided." But I can print on the other distant printer, connected to the same desktop !! [16:01] tech0007: But I thought it was supposed to be on the blacklist. If it is on the blacklist isn't it supposed to automatically be modprobed when you boot up the computer and start Ubuntu? [16:01] tux666: please use professional language in this channel [16:02] Flare183: do u want it to be loaded or not? [16:02] Flare183 blacklist disable modules [16:02] whatever, I'll just leave since people here are so stuck up most the time [16:02] oh ok [16:02] sherkin: i suggest you feed this error message to google :) [16:02] Thanks [16:02] np [16:02] ok ;) [16:02] ASULutzy: For example, I can use Matlab graphics remotely mostly without problem but on the same machine, a Java visualisation library is unbearably slow [16:03] ubuntu sucks man, this makes no sense. [16:03] soundray: ill will try logging out real fast. brb [16:04] perplexed You join and say that and you expect us to help you? [16:04] Jack_Sparrow, i didnt just join [16:04] i been here all day [16:04] perplexed Still rude [16:04] im just talking out loud.

So the first or last msg won't always be the best.

I'm assuming user error for the moment ;-) [16:47] joaopinto, no im unsure of the configuration [16:47] DRebellion: thanks I'll give it a shot [16:48] capri, there's a ton of stuff in System -> Preferences if you're using gnome [16:48] !codec > Flynsarmy [16:48] Hi. Does anybody have any experience using gschem? I'm a bit confused with the entire Vcc/vdd/vss business [16:48] how do i find the install destination of a windows file under wine? i installed diablo ii (got it running, thanks Slart_) but when i updated, wine doesn't know where the update files are. [16:48] rothchild, if you are converting a file format and the conversion get's to the end without any warning about data loss or truncated output, that is a bug :) [16:48] TOG_away, ~/.wine/ i believe [16:48] NeuroExploder, erm, open a terminal and type: ftp IP [16:48] joaopinto, work... [16:49] how can i find programs i installed that arnt on the programs tab? [16:49] Flynsarmy: man, i can't even the captcha right on brainstorm.ubuntu.com ... so i guess i must be a bot :'( [16:49] well all settings are fine [16:49] joaopinto, unknown host [16:49] yup no errors, I'll have a scratch around in launchpad [16:49] i mean i have normal font size etc [16:49] w3D, try: dpkg -L # for a list of files [16:49] cheers [16:50] joaopinto, my SRCDS people can connect to all the time on any port. Thats why I think I have a config wrong [16:50] found it in usr/sbin [16:50] how can i run it? [16:50] i dont know which is the executable [16:51] Flynsarmy: yes, after like 10 try, i got one captcha right :) [16:51] w3D, /usr/sbin contains executables [16:51] <_anna> probiere opensuse, in 3 tage ist die raus! [16:51] w3D What program [16:51] neuro_, ern, ftp NUMERIC_IP [16:51] <_anna> can you please kick him, that's spam. Thanks. [16:51] NeuroExploder, using an IP can't return the unknown host error [16:51] seen hbd? [16:51] ok .. is there any other desktop available other then Gnome and kde ? [16:52] capri, xfce [16:52] anybody has ubuntu on there ps3? [16:52] caplink811_log, xfce (xubuntu) [16:52] ok [16:52] anyone know bind? [16:52] kyncani: Are you submitting my suggestion? Does that site even get heard by the developers or is it relatively futile posting on there? [16:52] my windows drive dont work on kde .. but they work fine on Gnome [16:52] capri, it's designed to be fast for low end computers, so don't expect to be blown away by amazing graphics [16:52] gia [16:53] yea i just read that [16:53] so i will not use it :) [16:53] hmm [16:53] actually i am looking for MAC os type desktop in which u have icons in the middle [16:53] who's alive who knows anything about nis (yppasswd etc..) ? [16:53] * DarkAudit uses xfce when playing WoW with WINE [16:53] capri, you can achieve that. do a google search [16:53] capri look itno cairo-dock [16:53] Flynsarmy: well it's the first time i hear about it, but it's hosted on ubuntu.com so it musr be official. We'll see if it gets mentionned in an ubuntu news newsletter [16:54] ok [16:54] capri, you can have that with gnome with awn [16:54] DarkAudit, surely you can use wine + wow without a desktop enviroment at all? [16:54] joapinto: can u refer me some website ? [16:55] to configure it [16:55] joaopinto, what do you recommend I use to publicly broadcast certain files to others anonymously? [16:55] capri, on the package manager search for "avant" [16:55] NeuroExploder, Freenet? [16:55] how do i change the default runlevel to 3? [16:55] file system doesn't exactly work like explorer does it? [16:56] NeuroExploder, ftp is good for that, so far your problem is about basic concepts, like connecting using the command line ftp: ftp xx.xx.xx.xx [16:56] TOG_away, what do you mean? [16:56] NeuroExploder, man vsftp , check for the vsftp config file, and check the options related to anynimous ftp [16:56] joapinto: now which one i should refer .. avant awn or cairo-dock ? [16:56] ola a todos [16:56] capri, awn since it is available from the ubuntu repositories [16:56] joaopinto, running an ftpd won't let you broadcast files anonymously [16:56] DRebellion: I'm not sure if that's possible, and it's going a little too dep for me anyway :) [16:56] deep* [16:56] ok [16:57] i guess, i feel like i'm downloading stuff, and i don't know where it's going. does file system work like explorer and i'm just lost in space? [16:57] DRebellion, sure it does, anonymously from an authentication perspective, not from an internet identify perspective [16:57] my windows drive dont work on kde .. but they work fine on Gnome [16:57] whats the problem on kde ? [16:57] identity [16:57] why does my numlock fall away liek every ten minutes??? ubuntu is gettings worse and worse by the day, also random crashes, etc [16:57] _anna: did you get that in a private message? [16:57] perplexed in /etc/inittab [16:58] ward_, you must have an hw support issue, or an hw issue, please check your system logs for hints [16:58] ward_ Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc? [16:58] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:58] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:58] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:58] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:58] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [16:58] morenoandaluz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:58] Anyone? Anyone? Anyone alive who knows anything about nis (yppasswd etc..) ? [16:58] Jack_Sparrow, nothing special from source, and not recently, the problem is fairly new, im having a g keyboard [16:59] g!5 [16:59] ffs g15 [16:59] gamn numlock not working [16:59] i odnt fell like rebooting [16:59] is there a quick fix? [16:59] press numlock to enable it [16:59] ward_, intensive use of the key won't fix the problem : ) [16:59] codecaine, lol offcourse i tried that [17:00] DRebellion, i was correcting my typos [17:00] Is the updated taglibs 1.5 going to make it into Ubuntu proper, or will I have to get it from backports? If I get it *now*, I'll have to get it from Debian Lenny [17:01] is there a net install for ubuntu....5 different downloads format disk..instarts and about hhalfway thru it stops saying erorr cant install [17:01] lo all. I'm trying to add a pkcs#11 module to firefox, but keep getting "unable to load module". Am I missing something? [17:01] unclemikemike, the specific error would be more helpful [17:01] okay === ward_ is now known as Ward1983 [17:01] this is weird.. my gnome-terminal detaches tabs by itself [17:02] unclemikemike, there is the minimal install (9mb) iso and unetbootin (from another os) [17:02] unclemikemike At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [17:02] when i run awn-manager from system -> its windows appear and then disappears in flash [17:02] can some one help me fix the power managment in gnome with ubuntu8.04 [17:02] joapinto: when i run awn-manager from system -> its windows appear and then disappears in flash [17:03] capri, try to launch it from the terminal, to check for error messages [17:03] joaopinto: just says could be bad disk..bad cd..and so on..but i know my hdd is good [17:04] unclemikemike Burn the cd very slowly.. and use the self test to verify that you have a good installation dick [17:04] disk* [17:04] people might get the wrong idea :D [17:05] joapinto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20647/ [17:05] unclemikemike, you could have a corrupted download. You should verify the hash signitures on the iso file. [17:05] ...yes? [17:05] w3D, take chat elsewhere please [17:05] Hi. Is there a way to have my hostname broadcast if I use static addressing instead of dhclient please? [17:05] MolePrince, you mean ARP? [17:05] 7.10 was the same way......fedora 9 is the same wont install...every other distro installs....dident like the unetbootin....that is tooo slooow [17:05] how do you ru
