[04:50] thanks anyway [04:50] just want to be able to use the format functionality [04:50] When you type in your root password as "sudo" in Terminal, is it suppose to come up with * or absolutely nothing? [04:50] a gift [04:50] Ares: nothing i think [04:50] does any one know how to setup ubuntu to work in an internet cafe enviroment [04:50] technel: I see. Well it has been my experience with the SIS sata chip that grub is unable to see the difference between (hd0) and (hd1) between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stage. [04:50] from a friend who got a new one [04:50] Ares, nothing - it doesn't echo what you're typing === skeen [n=skeen@host-87-75-4-103.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #ubuntu [04:50] anyone have any suggestions for resolving depandancy issues? can they usually be installed through apt? or do you usually have to hunt for them? [04:50] technel: That might be what causes your alement. Are you booting from your IDE drive or your SATA drive? [04:50] technel: (ie which mbr is read) [04:50] deshantm: after picasa...I suppose you could use GQview. I don't think any of them are great... [04:50] ubuntu did fine with getting the pics off it... thats not a problem [04:50] Anyway to echo what I'm typing, or a way to echo that I am infact typing, I always mess up. :( [04:50] hareem, ya may want to clarify that statement as to what you are tryign to do. [04:51] deshantm: so what do you want? [04:51] I just tried to install Ubuntu but it froze at the last moment. I noticed that the harddrive had heated so much that I couldn't touch it for anymore than a second. Is this the likely cause? Do I need a new fan? [04:51] well sir i am trying to setup a ubuntu or kubuntu cyber cafe [04:51] grubchub, I usually use the X front end... Adept to solve these issues [04:51] Ares, I don't believe so unfortuantely - it's coded into the sudo program I think [04:51] which app would you think could support "format" [04:51] skeen, fans are always good. [04:51] skeen: How much RAM is on your box? [04:51] i.e. delete pictures [04:51] 512MB === Jack_Sparrow [n=jack@adsl-69-226-30-26.dsl.sndg02.pacbell.net] has joined #Ubuntu [04:52] BlueEagle, Booting from SATA drive. I had a HUGE issue with installing GRUB with that second hard drive (it was like 4 or 5 pages of forum posts on ubuntuforums.org), but I ended up just unplugging it and installing GRUB. It worked great, but then I went into my BIOS and did the "Switch to Default Options & Save", and then somehow this stuff got messed up. [04:52] Garth1: Just sudo, or every box? It seems to mimic that behavior in Slackware. [04:52] thanks nick :) [04:52] deshantm: the programs I named will work. Also EOG (eye of gnome) is built into gnome and you could just use nautilus to look at the thumbnails and delete etc. is this what you want? [04:52] skeen: Well then you shouldn't be swapped to death. But a fan for a single harddrive is usually not required unless you've insulated it or covered the breathing hole(s). [04:52] skeen: can you move the hard drive away from other hot parts of your PC? [04:53] i put my primary hard drive as low and far from other warm stuff as possible [04:53] can ubuntu be setup so that the users sessions expires after a certain time [04:53] technel: Check that your sata boot rom is enabled in the bios. [04:53] whyami, thanks i will look into those [04:53] Ares, it's the same for every distribution that uses GNU code (which sudo is a part of) [04:53] technel: I think it should be but it doesn't hurt to check. [04:53] Im not really referring to a harddrive fan...but the general fan in the box, whatever thats called. [04:53] grubchub if you want, you could quickly see what that package depends on by typing apt-cache depends {insert package name} | less [04:53] Gareth1: [Damn] Thanks though. [04:53] technel: it might be labled as "raid boot rom" or "raid rom" in the BIOS. [04:54] Ares: yeah, it's a pain - bit confusing for a first time user [04:54] When I put my hands in front of it...I can hardly feel anything. Its pretty much useless. Is overheating associated with freezing? [04:54] Ares, you could use gksudo come to think of it [04:54] grubchub, but adept does this also by going into detail on the package your trying to install [04:54] It can be [04:54] I cannot get wmv videos to play in firefox. I have tried everything listed in the guide. [04:54] Gareth1: Explain? I just started using Ubuntu today. [04:54] Jack_Sparrow...I saw Johnny Depp today. :) [04:54] can anyone help me with recompiling wpa supplicant ? [04:54] I even installed mplayer plugin which worked on my other desktop [04:54] BlueEagle, This is a HP computer, they have a really different BIOS than I am used to. Would it be under like when you go to Disk Management, select a disk, and it shows the options for it? === QueerAnt [n=queerant@203.34.166.198] has joined #ubuntu [04:55] Ares, try running "gksudo synaptic" - you should get a fancy GUI prompt window for the password (which will echo * when you type) [04:55] Ares: gksudo is like sudo, except that instead of having to type it into a terminal, a graphical prompt will pop up and ask you to enter your password. [04:55] technel: Either that or somwhere around integrated peripherals. [04:55] hm I wonder [04:55] !gksudo [04:55] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use gksudo, as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

What do you do about Macromedia Flash? [05:17] Abstractism: The joys of 64. [05:17] BlueEagle, Maybe I just need to reinstall GRUB? [05:17] Ares: so edit your menu.lst [05:17] Jack_Sparrow: I'm to much of a weeny after screwing up all my other bootloaders. [05:17] BlueEagle, What was thing you were telling me to change in the BIOS earlier? [05:17] technel: That might help.

I'm not sure if I want to scrap it and install 32bit, or install a 32bit chroot! [05:18] :p [05:18] heimdall_: That's dreadful. Is it SLEEPING or shutting down? Can you "wake it up" again once it sleeps? [05:19] hareem: A "domain controller" is a windows NT thing. What you probably want is a file and printer server isn't it? [05:19] yep I can wake it up [05:19] Ares: copy your grub/menu.lst to #Jack_Sparrow [05:19] Tonren : but I can't figure out why it is sleeping === Troglodyt [n=KevinSpe@216.126.240.97] has joined #ubuntu [05:19] heimdall_: Hmm... you should snoop around Ubuntu resource sites, like the forums.

[05:22] eventually I'll get tired of PC gaming and install linux on that other one anyway [05:22] hareem: The question is if using a samba network is "the right way"(tm) to go when you're on an all linux network. === tich [n=bradley@MTL-ppp-146132.qc.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu [05:23] oh hey how can i find my ip adress in ubuntu anything simmilar to ipconfig /all??

In linux, any program that accesses a symbolic link will get the data of the file it links to [05:43] fatchamacallitz: This is in most cases due to a failed installation of grub.

I'm not a recluse.

[05:55] probably go to the store and buy another [05:55] at work we have a lot of pcs..

[07:28] well how do i do it then [07:28] jesse_, running and downloading are definitely not the same thing. [07:28] No it's not the same. [07:28] eobang - i had to use madwifi-old patched drivers to support packet injection, now the WPA menu is disabled in Network Manager, Im assuming i have to recompile WPA supplicant to support madwifi-old ? [07:28] Install wine to run it. [07:28] or not? [07:28] jesse_, they're far from the same [07:28] !wine [07:29] wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[07:30] siriusnova, i would think that the old drivers would not support WPA, and i guess since the new ones do, then you'll have to switch between them.

[08:19] is it OK to develop proprietary software? === kijun [n=kijun@218.147.155.221] has joined #ubuntu [08:19] girish, what software [08:19] hydroksyde: sure [08:19] hi all [08:19] Just a quick statement, then a question or two about permissions on the desktop. I have used PPC on eMac Ubuntu occasionally in the past, not much. I'm now installed with Dapper Drake (6.06) on x86 to setup the machine for the kids and children. [08:19] hydroksyde, sure, just abide by the GPL.. [08:19] hydroksyde: I do it all the time. [08:19] i figured it out fyrstrtr:) [08:19] gnite all [08:19] ah [08:19] I have a problem with my DSL connection, is anyone can help me please... === reemusk [n=reemusk@h69-128-244-38.69-128.unk.tds.net] has left #ubuntu [] [08:19] that all said, I have the DD6.06 install done. Insert CD, and it is owned by root (which is fine), but Movie Player can't read the device. [08:19] SurfnKid: Not offhand, but there may exist such a thing. I'm lucky that my computer matches an exhaustive resource ;) Don't know how much overlap there is to other machines. [08:20] Hydrosyde, it's understandable in certain situations but I don't like being stuck with a windows 95 program because the comapny went belly up. [08:20] eobanb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17146 [08:20] Al2O3, what sort of CD is it [08:20] Al2O3: is it a dvd? [08:20] cd [08:20] tonyyarusso: yeah im sure there is some compatibility i just have to read a lot, whicih i dont mind [08:20] ISO with one file on it, an .avi [08:20] tonyyarusso: seem to get better results on linux than on windows lately :) [08:20] I have to do "pppoeconf" all the time whenever I reboot my labtop to get on the internet... how can I fix this?? [08:20] its an ownership thing. === subir [n=subir@202.79.37.177] has joined #ubuntu === girish_ [n=girish@59.93.6.24] has joined #ubuntu [08:20] Al2O3: you probably need to mount the iso first. [08:20] HI dear frenz ...can nyone help me to backup the softwares i have installed to use it after installing a fresh copy og ubuntu 6? === carlos [n=carlos@208.Red-83-33-192.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:21] farky, yeah, try enabling RenderAccel [08:21] [ [08:21] kijun, not a fix but you could have it run automatically by editing your sessions preferences. [08:21] hydroksyde: You do not have to follow the GPL if you are developing proprietary applications on Linux that do not include GPL'ed source. You do not have to abide by the GPL if you use GPL code in your own personal projects or "proprietary" software that you do not redistribute, either. [08:21] eobanb: ok, and restart X? === jpgvietnam [n=jpgvietn@125.235.113.226] has joined #ubuntu [08:21] fyrestrtr, the CD is a CD, ISO standard (9006 or whatever) [08:21] it is not a .iso [08:21] gdb, yes [08:21] HI dear frenz ...can nyone help me to backup the softwares i have installed to use it after installing a fresh copy og ubuntu 6? [08:21] eugman: really? then.. what about password that I need to type in? [08:21] girish, what software [08:22] girish_, what software [08:22] I'm wondering, with root.root ownership, Movie Player doesn't seem to want to play it, and users don't seem to have the ability to read it (can't cp the .avi off the CD, but can view it on the Desktop) [08:22] eobanb's response to you could have been construed as being misleading so I wanted to make sure you were clear on those points. [08:22] anyone got an idea on why this is the case? [08:22] i installed webserver apache and many ide's so i dont want to loose them wen i install newer ubuntu [08:22] Kijun, A little bit harder but i think you could amke a root owned bash script which starts it and is executable by anyone and have session start that up after boot. === kkrizka_ [n=kkrizka@d206-116-1-46.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:23] eobanb: i installed webserver apache and many ide's so i dont want to loose them wen i install newer ubuntu === farky [n=farky@adsl-69-110-106-28.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:23] btw, super easy install, much like BeOS... Congrads to the folks at Ubuntu for taking Linux to another level of simplicity. === gdb has no idea what "many ide's" means. [08:23] girish_: backup /var/cache/apt/archives [08:23] how to do that [08:23] ? [08:23] eugman: I can write it but I have no idea how I can save my password, do you know? [08:23] eobanb: ok [08:23] Al2O3: well, can you browse it from nautilus? === nostZZZZZ [i=nostalg1@d54C51C41.access.telenet.be] has left #ubuntu [] === tito_ [n=tito@207-224-168-204.phnx.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:23] girish, i assume you want to back up your httpd.conf [08:23] girish_ [08:24] yeah i want to backup the sources too [08:24] gdb: he means IDEs [08:24] 'the sources'? === Al2O3 is browsing the CD with the default file browser (if that is nautilus, then yes) [08:24] gdb, ide's are programming enviroments. [08:24] yes the sources as well as configurations === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [08:24] I know what an IDE is, I didn't get the connection to apache. [08:24] Kijun, you don't have to. If root owns it then it has permission to run the program. [08:24] Al2O3: do you know what format the movie is in? Could be that movie player just can't recognize the format. [08:24] eobanb: ok, i added "RenderAccel" "true" === markl_ [n=mark@dsl093-225-127.slc1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:24] fyrestrtr, no it can't read it, permissions not allowed. === rob_p [i=rob@pdpc/supporter/active/rob-p] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [08:24] farky, and then you have to restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) for it to take effect === Lurkan [n=agsm@dsl-201-129-234-207.prod-infinitum.com.mx] has joined #ubuntu [08:25] Its mounted at /media/cdrom0/... [08:25] eobanb: i did [08:25] What he's saying is, "I've installed a bunch of random crap that I want to keep when I wipe the machine." My question would be, "why wipe the machine, then. What's preventing an upgrade?" [08:25] Kijun, or does that program need a password for another reason? [08:25] Al2O3, what sort of files are on the disc [08:25] Al2O3: hrmm, that is strange ... you let the system mount it, or you mounted it yourself? [08:25] eugman: I mean... whenever you do "pppoeconf", it asks you the ID and password for your DSL service... that's what I meant [08:25] system mounts it [08:25] Ahh ok. [08:25] eobanb, like I said, one .avi [08:25] gdb: I think he wants to replicate the configuration on another machine, without having to redownload everything. [08:25] Al2O3, sorry, i must have missed that [08:26] hi thanx frenz [08:26] Al2O3: don't know what it could be, can you copy the file to your desktop and play it from there? [08:26] np === xice [n=ben@220-245-163-83-sa-nt-pppoe.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [08:26] nope [08:26] fyrestrtr, tried that already [08:26] eobanb: i already restarted it [08:26] i mean thanx fyrestrtr and eobanb [08:26] its root.root owned, with permission 600 [08:26] girish_: Are you wanting to upgrade the machine this software is installed on or duplicate the installation on another machine that's running a newer Ubuntu? [08:26] Kijun open up a terminal and type man pppoeconf, it may list a way you can send the information as an argument . [08:27] i want to upgrade this machine [08:27] am using [08:27] Al2O3: strange -- file a bug and then change the owner of the file. [08:27] its weird, I would have suspected the CD rom would have mounted as owned by the current user. [08:27] eugman: that's good idea. [08:27] fyrestrtr, can't change it, it is CDROM [08:27] eugman: I will try right now. [08:27] Al2O3: yeah you can ;) [08:27] gdb : i want to upgrade this machine [08:27] girish_ am using [08:27] girish_: So what is the compelling reason you have to wipe the machine rather than upgrading the operating system in place? === matheus [n=matheus@201.78.146.156] has joined #ubuntu [08:27] fyrestrtr, I'll try. [08:27] Kijun, after enough linux you get used to that sort of thinking. [08:27] farky, try glxinfo again [08:27] i cant find a way to upgrade [08:27] thatz it [08:28] Al2O3: see what entry you have for your cdrom in /etc/fstab [08:28] the gksudo doesn't provide option [08:28] fyrestrtr, nope, Read Only File System error. [08:28] eobanb: same thing as before [08:28] girish_: Then I think the question you want to be asking is, "how can I upgrade the Ubuntu I have to the new Ubuntu?" rather than what you've asked so far. [08:28] fyrestrtr, this is the Desktop 6.06 distro, right out of the box. No mods. [08:28] girish, read this wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades [08:28] i installed Xubuntu but i sweat it looks like Gnome.......any way to make it look a bit diff? [08:28] Only thing I want to do with this system is make a simple computer/media center for the kids and wife. [08:28] I'll check out /etc/fstab [08:28] eugman: there is very little infomation about pppoeconf unlike the other commands [08:28] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades [08:29] hello! [08:29] tito_: you can always change the theme [08:29] btw, how can I get a root account on this distro... Tried to Terminal/su and says I can't. [08:29] do I need to add me to admin group? [08:29] Matheus, have a question? Skip to step three where you ask if so. [08:29] !root [08:29] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [08:29] gdb:gdb: but the problem is that i got some link yesterday to some manual and the options shown in that are not there in my desktop app [08:29] eugman: only description and author... [08:29] eugman, yes :) [08:29] Al2O3: ^ is for you [08:29] eugman, when upgrade to ubuntu 6 [08:29] goin to crash, thx for the help guys [08:30] girish_: huh? [08:30] l8r [08:30] Kijun, hmm how odd. pppoeconf --help may work but I doubt it. I'll do some snooping on the internets. === InnerFIRE [n=darnell@dsl254-014-076.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu === stevekl [n=stevekl@c-24-125-175-229.hsd1.va.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:30] eugman, app that I did build with the old kernel headers... Need to rebuild ? [08:30] Matheus, NOW! Seriously you can do it anytime you want. [08:30] gdb:yes the gksudo doesnot show a button to upgrade to newer linux === caplink811_log [n=caplink8@dslb-088-073-067-021.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:30] as it is said in the manual [08:30] why does firefox randomly close by itself.. [08:30] Al2O3: a quick way to become root is to type sudo bash -- and when you are done, type exit. We discourage people using root for anything other that short sysadmin tasks, which is why the root account is 'disabled' on ubuntu installs, and we encourage the use of sudo. [08:30] i installed it with wine so that i could use flash8 [08:31] Matheus, probably since dapper uses a newer version of the kernel but I'm no expert [08:31] girish_: Which Ubuntu are you running? And have you installed *every* available update? [08:31] eugman: I did that so many times... [08:31] eugman: thanks for your help anyway [08:31] eugman, is too many apps :( [08:31] am running 5.1 [08:31] breezy [08:31] Well You might be able to lock your kernel version. [08:31] girish_: Also, you do not need or want to use -d at this time. [08:32] Or even better I may be wrong. [08:32] girish_: That would have you installing Edgy Eft, not Dapper Drake. Simply run Update Manager normally. [08:32] eobanb: I got the same output as last time [08:32] fyrestrtr, I have been using *NIX for about 17 years :) [08:32] girish_: Your other option is to do the editing of /etc/apt/souces.list method. [08:33] anyone can tell me about if need to rebuild apps that uses kernel headers when upgrade to dapper .... [08:33] to do wat? [08:33] I have once on NeXTStep 0.9 destroyed an install back in 1989 with bad use of su, I learned then to do stupid things once and never again. [08:33] girish_: if I am not mistaken, the alternative CD also offers an "upgrade in place" option (I could be mistaken about that one). [08:33] but I appreciate the scene here and will use sudo instead. [08:33] Al2O3: ah then -- you should know why we discourage the use of 'root' here. Ubuntu attracts a lot of linux newbies. [08:33] yes, I appreciate that :) [08:33] but wat can i do by eiting sources.list? [08:33] and I have done dumb things to know why. [08:33] but wat can i do by editing sources.list? [08:33] Al2O3: you are lucky, I had to wreck a gentoo server ... twice before I learned that lesson. [08:33] girish_: What's posted in that documentation that ubotu keeps telling you about. [08:33] ok [08:34] thank u verymuch gdb [08:34] girish_: You can upgrade to Dapper in place. [08:34] ok [08:34] ok, here is the entry for /etc/fstab [08:34] girish_: Change all instances of "breezy" to "dapper" do an apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade [08:34] /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [08:34] make sure you back up your important files first ;) (which probably brings you back to your original question). === theshibboleth [n=chatzill@pool-71-105-74-192.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:34] that seems standard [08:35] and shouldn't it then be mounted as the user currently in session? [08:35] fyrestrtr, whats the difference between sudo su and sudo bash? [08:35] ok gdb will that consume a lot of my download limit [08:35] ? [08:35] Al2O3: yeah, don't know what happened in your case. It really is strange. My knee jerk would be to add a mask to the options line in fstab, but I wonder why it would do that to you, and not to me. === caplink811_log [n=caplink8@dslb-088-073-067-021.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:35] Can you use the Desktop CD as an apt source? [08:36] girish_: It will not consume any more than downloading a Dapper CD image would. But it will consume a fair bit of it. [08:36] why does firefox randomly close by itself.. [08:36] i installed it with wine so that i could use flash8 [08:36] tonyyarusso, was that directed to me? === birula [n=birula@201.78.37.234] has joined #ubuntu [08:36] and if so, what is apt source mean? === Madeye [n=Jad@81.10.126.86] has joined #ubuntu [08:36] Al2O3: Only if you know the answer. [08:36] lol [08:36] ok, I guess not. [08:37] eugman: sudo -- temporarily allows you to run commands as another user, as long as you are in a sudoers list file. You use your own password to authenticate. su is switch user, for which you need the password of the other user account you want to switch to. sudo bash just launches the bash shell as the superuser (root). === farky [n=farky@adsl-69-110-106-28.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu === zerdith [n=zerdith@71-10-25-163.dhcp.bycy.mi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu [08:37] ok can i backup all the applications in cache to harddisk and start from a fresh install and afterwards copy the backup files to cache again? [08:37] gdb: [08:38] another (subtle, but important) difference is that your shell environment doesn't change with sudo, only with su. [08:38] r they version independent [08:38] ? [08:38] i mean the packages [08:38] girish_: Since none of really has a firm grasp on what you're asking, "backup my applications", what you're asking is really outside the scope of this channel. I would encourage you to seek consulting services local to where you are. [08:38] eobanb: i think i got it to work! check out this pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17147 [08:38] fyrestrtr, so how would the entry in /etc/fstab look to work for me here? [08:38] I'm trying to use gftp, but I seem only to be able to type in the first four characters of my password. Any ideas? [08:38] ok thank u gdb [08:38] fyrestrtr, I'll take a hack solution to make this work now instead of doing it 'right' and figuring out a clean solution. [08:39] Al2O3: add a mask= option, which gives a liberal mask to the files. Like 666 [08:39] Is there any decent Flash for x64 yet? [08:39] girish_: I'm just afraid that if you went by random advice from people making assumptions about what software you're talking about, you're going to end up losing data. [08:39] girish_: It sounds to me like you need to have a friend / guru / etc actually look at your machine and talk over with you what you're wanting to do, and then helping you make that transition. [08:39] ok gdb: now i will try some fair way [08:39] fyrestrtr, makes sense, will do it. === raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu [08:40] right now I sudo'ed to root with sudo sh, then copying to desktop, and seeing if that will work. [08:40] I'll do the mask solution to make it work (brute force) and see if that also works. [08:40] brb with results. [08:40] Al2O3: I think you want to use "sudo -s" for that. ;-) [08:40] With no other arguments. === gdb 's cat is annoying. === UIC1 [n=UIC1@c-69-250-152-167.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:42] gdb, I use sh by default :) === UIC1 [n=UIC1@c-69-250-152-167.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [08:42] rixth: don't think so.

I have 4 accounts on this computer, and the uid=1000 solution works for me, user 1000 UID, but not obviously for others, how to solve this was in theory to use mask=666 where all parties (users) would mount and have xw prives, but we know that didn't work in /etc/fstab. The uid=1000 did for me as I stated, but now I want the other users to be able to login, and have mount/read on the CD working. Any oth [10:14] er ideas on how to solve this problem?

[10:40] garryF: did he clear the cache? === cypher1 [n=cypher@bgepxyout-02.asiapac.hp.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:41] dabaR DUnno === AnAnt [n=anant@81.10.9.182] has left #ubuntu [] === blaster999 [n=blaster@81.198.142.200] has left #ubuntu ["Segmentation] [10:42] soundray: I'll play with Internet first, I need that more than sound, if all else fails with sound I can use my laptop [10:42] Firefox still not working :-( [10:42] cheeseman557: could be a faulty CD or CD drive. === alcguerrero [n=alcguerr@83.230.207.201] has joined #ubuntu [10:43] soundray: but my laptop is practially brand new [10:43] do you tihnk i shuld burn a new cd?\ [10:43] nashy: do you have a firewall installed that you know of? firestarter? [10:43] nashy: what kind of firewall? [10:43] Maybe brand new faulty device [10:43] yea but i installed windows with it and windows is fine [10:43] dabaR / soundray: This is a clean install, I wouldn't have a clue, I've never used Ubuntu in my life [10:43] cheeseman557: perhaps check the CD first. There is a boot option. [10:44] soundray, yea thats what i did and thats when im getting this error [10:44] nashy: I mean on your network. Is there a router/firewall? [10:44] does that mean my cd is messed up? [10:44] nashy: and you tried pinging you say? "ping google.com" in a terminal gets replies? [10:44] cheeseman557: probably. Try burning a new one. Some people have solved problems like that by selecting a lower burning speed. [10:44] soundray: No firewall in use [10:45] If I recall, nashy used the recocery mode to add a new user, unless I got him mixed up with another. Perhaps the new user has no internet and sound priveleges? [10:45] dabar: Yeah, ping is fine [10:45] garryF: Correct, I needed to add a user [10:45] soundray, ok thanks.. i just reformmated my comp thinking it was a problem with the hard drive >_< [10:45] ARgh, I hate my spelling [10:45] nashy, open a term, type "groups" [10:45] Madpilot: nashy admin [10:45] ouch [10:46] Yes! Mad's good. I hope to learn to fix this too by watching. [10:46] what have I done/not done? [10:46] it should look something like "brian adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin" - that's what I get from 'groups' [10:46] eek. How would one go about fixing that? [10:46] I have an issue with printing to a HP PSC 1215 on a win XP computer. I get to add the printer through the gnome-cups-add dialog, and it gets detected on the network, after entering the proper passwords for connecting to that PC. I then get to choose the printer driver, and mine is not listed. There is psc 1210, and 1200, so I tried choosing either, and the printer gets added, and says ready when the other PC and printer are on. However, [10:47] Is it possible nashy is in livecd mode? [10:47] Is "machine" the last word there? [10:47] dabaR, "on. However" [10:47] garryF: I just did a fresh install. I chose OEM install [10:47] nashy: go to System-Admin-Users and Groups. Give your user all rights. === MetaMorfoziS [n=sajt@3e44b12f.adsl.enternet.hu] has joined #ubuntu [10:47] nashy, ah - OEM install is odd. No wonder you're having issues === telemaco [n=telemaco@84.77.4.244] has joined #ubuntu [10:48] Yeah, oem sounds like a solaris thing. [10:48] soundray: what kind of advice is that?! [10:48] Nextenta, an dapper with a solaris core backend. [10:48] on. However, I send the printer a job, which gets added to the printer q for a moment, then the printer status goes to ready again, but nothing prints on the machine. [10:48] fyrestrtr: what do you mean? === reilagart1 [n=nelson@213.22.178.4] has joined #ubuntu [10:49] should I reinstall? Its no hassle if thats the best thing to do === phlexy [n=ben@60-234-226-178.bitstream.orcon.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu [10:49] soundray: no reason for a user to be part of all groups in the system. That's just asking for trouble. [10:49] Likely, using default install [10:49] nashy: is it correct what garryF said, that you added a new user in recovery mode? [10:49] soundray: yes [10:49] nashy, you might be better off reinstalling, using the default install mode [10:50] I agree [10:50] nashy: I wouldn't waste time reinstalling. [10:50] :-/ [10:50] I have stay on ext3 for the reason that I never had problem with power lost. Is there another like this file system? [10:50] So instead of selecting OEM install, I select Text Install? soundray: what do you recommend, I mean, if its easier to re-install its no hassle at all [10:50] there is one person who worked me through recreating the groups and all. [10:50] nashy: if you are going to login with that username you added, all you need to do is give that user all system privileges, including connecting to the internet. [10:50] whats the minimum size for the swap file? [10:50] nashy: you want to end up with a normal desktop? [10:50] cheeseman557: 0 [10:51] Flannel: Well, I want normal yeah :-p [10:51] thanks [10:51] nashy: then, put in the alternate CD, and just hit enter. or, the default thing. === higen [n=ehasting@240.84-48-99.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu [10:51] nashy: text install soudns about right. not server, not OEM. [10:51] nashy, go System->Admin->Users & Groups, select your user, hit Properties, then go to the User Privs tab - select stuff there [10:52] Text install gives you more flexability too. Might try what Madpilot says first. === lukkett1 [n=lukketto@host208-191.pool877.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu === Kenzumi [n=kenzumi@81-203-234-40.user.ono.com] has joined #ubuntu === foofoooo___ [n=chatzill@cpe-66-75-246-196.san.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu === foofoooo___ is now known as foofoooo [10:53] I just added all privs [10:53] no change [10:53] nashy, you might have to log out & log in again - I'm not sure [10:53] nashy: you need to log out and in again to activate the changes. [10:53] Might have to reboot. === Postino [n=lorenzo@host99-24-static.47-85-b.business.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu === jenda-lappy [n=petr@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu [10:54] The user you are logged in as should be user id 1000 [10:54] install takes ages, whats the prob? (eg uncompressing linux takes about 20-25minutes) [10:54] I need a user-level (not sudo) command to restart the ethernet connection. Can anyone hint me in? [10:54] Hmm, last time I saw a slow install, it was a dying hard drive or slow computer [10:54] jenda-lappy: I don't believe there is such a thing [10:54] SpeesKeek: underclocked 386 processor? === maud_dib [n=ben@dialup-4.161.93.161.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net] has left #ubuntu [] [10:55] garryF .. i tried a 666mhz, 800mhz and a 1ghz.. all the same === vook [n=vook@156-56-172-157.dhcp-bl.indiana.edu] has joined #ubuntu [10:55] soundray .. just a std PIII [10:55] jenda-lappy: unplug the cable === Postino [n=lorenzo@host99-24-static.47-85-b.business.telecomitalia.it] has left #ubuntu ["ma] [10:55] jenda-lappy: plug it back in.

[10:55] Logged out and in, terminal shows all privs, still no firefox === HedgeMage [i=HedgeMag@freenode/staff/HedgeMage] has joined #ubuntu [10:55] Ng, really? Strange... the thing is that Ubuntu doesn't detect the ethernet wire being plugged and unplugged - so I need to remind it each time, and I don't want to make dad type his pwd each time. [10:56] nexenta which is based on ubuntu with opensolaris looks nice [10:56] SpeesKeek: How much memory? [10:56] 256 [10:56] nashy: maybe you do want to reinstall [10:56] the only thing is the kernel..... [10:56] fyrestrtr, that exactly is what doesn't work... [10:56] in a comparison test, is linux or opensolaris better? [10:56] soundray: Will do :-) [10:56] for a text based thing 256 seems enough to me :) [10:56] jenda-lappy: hrmm, that's strange. [10:56] Opensolaris seems slow in booting [10:56] SpeesKeek: are you installing from CD? [10:56] its an ubunu :p [10:56] jup soundray [10:56] Gog123: they are two different things, can't really compare one to the other. === incubii [n=incubii@cor9-ppp2110.syd.dsl.connect.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [10:57] tied the server cd and the alternate [10:57] fyrestrtr: Which is better for desktop pc? [10:57] the ubunbtu 6 version [10:57] opensolaris or linux [10:57] and a redhat 7.1 [10:57] both afwull slow [10:57] Gog123: try asking this in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:57] nexenta is essentially the same thing as ubuntu but with an opensolaris core [10:57] Hmmm, Not sure, but 256 memory seems low for a gui [10:57] I'l talk to you guys soon, I'm reinstalling now :-) [10:57] Gog123: ubuntu [10:57] ubuntu dapper (ie 6.06) is fine [10:57] garryF .. i dont want gui [10:58] SpeesKeek Oh [10:58] just a text based router, proxy thing [10:58] But my choice is Fedora [10:58] debarshi .. a red hat 7.1 isnt working well either [10:58] and 7.1 is quite old.. a 150mhz pc ran that [10:59] what is the machine you have?

[11:00] And he wants a command line install no gui on his debarshia p111 [11:00] er command line os [11:00] things like FC2 should work fine [11:01] holy moly i just reformmated my hd because i thought the hd was messed up but it was the cd! [11:01] I mean I have seen such machines work. [11:01] the install cd boots... but its taking 30minutes to come to recognizing the ide ports and stuff like that (things that taek normally spoken 3-4 secs) === raffy [n=raffy@202.128.50.128] has joined #ubuntu [11:01] debarshi .. ive got a much older red hat version than your fedora core thing an it isnt working either...
