[00:43] why? its ubuntu is it not? [00:43] Tuxedo_, Sorry to be blunt, but if you are asking such a question then you can't "hack" anyone, nor should you try [00:43] !afk > Riot|AFK (read the private message from ubotu) [00:43] i dont wana learn about it i just wana know if its true [00:43] Oh, sorry [00:43] hey guys: can anyone suggest a better web gui then webmin? (if there is one) :) [00:43] it's auto but at least it doesnt announce [00:44] <_hopex> jrib: So it says that it can only be used for a few weeks, what happens afterwards?

[00:44] GNUPanel and Ubuntu anyone have it working? [00:44] Tuxedo_, you can learn to do those things with any OS. Its a skillset that is not exactly OS dependent, but rather dependent on how much you like to prod applications and read obscure security journals. I suggest getting a CS degree and spending a life-time reading phrack and 2600.

Sudo aptitude purge mysql. [00:46] Jordan_U: Just give me a lead here, am I missing on the driver or on the app? [00:46] - [00:46] thanks [00:46] <_hopex> jrib: VirtualBox 1.5.2 for Linux Hosts: * Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon") i386 | AMD64 [00:46] sickclown, did you try sudo apt-get -remove mysql --force ? [00:46] are there any plans to fix the issue with the gutsy upgrade failure when using update manager? [00:46] * xipietotec hates that 90% of the guides are still reccomending apt-get, considering its depricated [00:47] its not working on mine and 915 is pretty updated than i830m. all other effects are working except blur and water [00:47] * hashbrowncipher agrees with xipietotec and loves aptitude [00:47] hashbrowncipher, aptitude and smart :D [00:47] cdubya, have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com ? [00:47] I'm trying to run an interactive script via rc.local. It's running and outputting correctly, but it's not waiting for input like it is supposed to, it just goes to the login prompt (which won't accept any input). Any ideas? [00:47] <_hopex> jrib: I should have downloaded the OSE ? [00:47] astro76, not yet...... [00:47] how can I configure a service so that it won't start automatically at startup? [00:47] also note, dist-upgrade in aptitude is depricated now too. That's going to take some getting used to [00:47] cdubya, search for existing bugs, file one if one does not exist [00:47] _hopex: nope, I use the other one as well. Where exactly are you reading this limit? [00:48] xipietotec: yes, but full-upgrade auto-completes in gutsy, woo. [00:48] jmesquita, I am not sure that it is not a driver issue, but considering the problems most people are having with displayconfig-gtk it is likely that setting it up manually with xrandr and /or your xorg.conf would work, but that is not easy [00:48] why are we working on this OS when we can just use one that works already? dont you feel as though this is wasting time on something not so important? Or do you feel that this will be better? [00:48] xipietotec, we're in #ubuntu RN, *not* #ubuntu-offtopic [00:48] <_hopex> jrib: I read the limit in the license, wich says that it's for educational purposes etc... [00:48] astro76, I'll have a look [00:48] arnducky, this is support related. =P === miss is now known as miss^l0t3k [00:48] jrib: I checked the documentation and it doesn't discuss how I get ubuntu to stop requiring a password for my ntfs partition? [00:48] Jordan_U: Yeah, Xinerama does not support intel or radeon anymore. I am a power user :) [00:48] _hopex: oh, I see. I guess you are technically correct, but it is up to you to decide how long you want to evaluate it [00:49] anyone have idea that blur and water effect on compiz-fusion works with intel 830m chip [00:49] darren: did you use ntfs-config? [00:49] what's the command for finding what's currently using alsa? [00:49] Jordan_U: Will do with xandr. Hope it gets my SVIDEO output too [00:49] <_hopex> jrib: would there be any difference if I add the repository and install it by apt-get? How did you do that? [00:49] some program seems to be using up alsa and i can't figure out what it is. how can i kill it/figure out what it is? [00:50] kimguru87, just try i t;) [00:50] jmesquita, Note that your xorg.conf needs to be configured correctly for xrandr to work [00:50] jrib: yes the only option that is available is "eable write support for external device" the other option is greyed out [00:50] Jordan_U: Indeed... Thats the harder part ... :) [00:50] pls? [00:50] _hopex: difference would be update-manager will notify you of updates about virtualbox. Join me in #ubuntu-classroom if you want to do that and the instructions there are not clear [00:50] darren: pastebin your /etc/fstab [00:50] hello.

[00:52] can anyone teach me how to use ettercap ? [00:52] kimguru87, I bet it's because it's intel ;) [00:52] Jessid: they aren't auto detected when you plug them in after startup [00:52] is there a way to make the volume have smaller discrete steps?

[02:22] albertmk, itś not bad at all, itś a matter of getting everything set up [02:22] hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu (on live cd now) I've deleted my other partition of it and i need to make a new one. i need help. there is a "use as" option. what do i set it to? "ext 2, ext.3, etc....?"also, then what would my mount point be? [02:22] Random: I did but it looks like its installed (gnu system-tools)...??? [02:23] CubeXombi: well i install it all, but then it doesnt seem to have the kernel modules installed, almost like i cant write to kernel space??? [02:23] cleaton: ? [02:24] bloony, the halting seems weird. you're running out of diskspace or something? well the networking is done in the begining of the alternate cd. so if you get to commandline you could try to remove the ubuntu cd from the apt source list and try and download the missing packages using apt [02:24] I want to buy a PDA mobile phone - is anything which runs on linux open source software? [02:24] so my ubuntu box keeps getting disconnected from my local samba share, only when it does, I can't unmount it and remount it, it says that the device is in use [02:24] CubeXombi: have you installed ubuntu to a usb pen drive? [02:24] any ideas? [02:24] any modules will give you trouble unless installed first. I use reconstructor to make my drives, before creating the iso you can chroot in and mess around in console [02:24] cleaton: wheres the source list located again? [02:24] anyone know? [02:24] gnurph69: do your server and client ports match? perhaps you could try telnetting to the vnc server port to test connectivity [02:24] Hey guys.. I need to delete a file from within my hard drive through the Live CD because Ubuntu won't let me log in (disk too full). But I can't delete files on the drive from the Live CD because I don't have permission to. How do I get permissions set to do this? [02:24] panan0ne.. way too many times [02:25] cnawan: VNC connects, that's not a problem. the problem is i can't log in once VNC connects. I get a background screen and zip else. [02:25] CubeXombi: any good tutorials? or better yet, do you have any image avalable i could burn with just a basic kubuntu package installed.... xterm,firefox, compiz, and nvidia drivers installed aswell? [02:25] bloony, /etc/apt/sources.list [02:25] HHP2K - you can log in as root - clean the user space logout from root [02:26] k [02:26] CubeXombi: also is there any way to get x to pick which drivers to use, based on wether there is a nvidia card installed or otherwise? [02:26] gnurph69: ooh wacky.. can't say I'm familiar with that problem [02:26] the reason I ask here as opposed to #samba is that slackware and debian both cope fine [02:26] unfortunately i don;t all my stuff is embedded with Cisco VPN stuff that i can't really have floating around, [02:26] acu: What do you mean? :\ [02:27] In rsync is there a way to remove files in the destination that have been deleted from the source? [02:27] CubeXombi: i understand, well any good how-to's on how to make it work and chroot and all as thats above my head at this point [02:27] has anyone had experience running World Community Grid on ubuntu? [02:27] morph, you said it stopped after an upgrade 2 weeks ago, [02:28] keegangrayson: is that a Boinc project? [02:28] 7.10 Seems to freeze alot more than 7.04 for me how do I see what's causing these freezes? [02:28] as far as drivers are concerned at every reboot they are going to tear them selves apart. it's the downside of live(even w/persistance) that and you can't mount certain Filesytems [02:28] about a month ago [02:28] CubeXombi: what do you mean tear themselves apart? [02:28] where would be the best place to get help setting up a simple nautilus script using nautilus actions? [02:29] CubeXombi: what would happen if i just installed to the usb stick asif it were a normal harddrive? [02:29] rathel, you could check /var/log/messages [02:29] anyone know of an ftp client that i can use tor with? i don't think gftp will, unless i have it configured wrong [02:29] well basically it's 2 parts .. if you are booting with persistance, all will be fine and dandy untill you restart, syslinux/Grub will only boot the generic kernel initially, [02:31] installing is as normal may "kill" your drive if you believe the hype, however, the only issue is you won't really have a "portable" os if you start adding modules that will break once plugged into the machine it wasn't intended for [02:31] pagan0ne - referring to the limited writestates [02:32] CubeXombi: ok, but a oob install should work pretty well, aslong as i keep the modules to a minimum... [02:32] hi [02:32] how to automatically login [02:32] HHP2K: when you log in you can enable yourself to log in as root - that will allow you to log in - then you can delete some files from the home of the user which does not allow you because of the full hard disk [02:32] pawan: System -> Administration -> Login Window -> Security [02:32] won't hurt, but you may need to phsyically disable your local HDD while performing the initial install [02:32] dhamma: any cli one with torify? or any gui one with socks proxy support (if I remember correctly) [02:33] there is no such option [02:33] I would kill the process using the devices, but I don't know how to tell what's using them [02:33] CubeXombi: thats not a problem, i can disable it in bios [02:33] pawan: what version are you using? [02:33] 7.10 [02:33] gutsy [02:33] so you were running gutsy in > rc1? or you did system upgrade? [02:33] CubeXombi: now, do you know of any way to get nvidia drivers working in that situation in such a way as they work as normal when the machine has a nvidia card, but when it doesnt, it falls back to vesa or the correct driver for the card? [02:33] I have a .jar file how do I execute it to install the application? [02:33] perfect, it "should" work I've run into people doing it this way, and did it with a USB HDD, though I stick with the normal method for USB flash drives [02:33] system upgrade [02:34] pawan: click at System then Login Window, then click at Security tab and Check the "Enable Automatic Login" [02:34] IdleOne: yeah [02:34] pawan: system then Administration then Login Window [02:34] heya guys [02:34] Vich: hi [02:34] idleonline,. "java /path/to/.jar [02:34] keegangrayson: have you installed the boinc client and boinc manager from repos? [02:34] CubeXombi: well what im trying to do is install Kubuntu to the pendrive, and i kinda would like the nvidia drivers so i can get compiz working on machines where its supported... to kinda wow people [02:34] that would be a little beyond my capabilities though I'm sure there's gotta be a way to script it.. [02:35] koshari: ty [02:35] IdleOne: I can't find the boinc client, which repos is it in? [02:35] there is no login window option in the menu [02:35] can anyone tell me what the purpose of the keyring manager is?

[03:06] i take it you've had a run in with a black screen recently too [03:06] idk if the majority will stick with windows it will either be mac or linux [03:06] idontbelieveit, I wouldn't say smart. [03:06] yes but in the US there has never been a law suit conserning a license issue that wasn't settled outside of court yet...but let me stop, since thta is a bit off topic [03:07] there are hoards of linux converts [03:07] its smart not genius [03:07] the french parlament [03:07] thats the whole government of france [03:07] CubeXombi: yes, my boot screen hasn't worked since i did a clean install of gutsy.

[03:07] ya gutsy seems to mess alot up for me too [03:07] jaunbond then aren't you lucky [03:07] i have an ati [03:07] and a wifi card [03:07] both get hosed if i upgrade [03:08] I had sticky windows working with 7.04 but cant get any windows to appear on all desktops with 7.10 .... anyone have this same issue or have any solutions???

I have my ubuntu in 7.04 version... but the version 7.10 is available... anyone has upgraded it on-line? [03:08] gutsy works fine for me, other than not being able to detect my video card during the install, so i have to use safe graphics mode, and the brightness control not working on my nvidia card / thinkpad setup [03:08] dguedes I haven't upgraded either [03:09] CubeXombi: is that a fix for my boot screen issue? [03:09] dguedes: Yep [03:09] heguru, k, how do I check that? I didn't install one on purpose. It's weird though, because when I use wireless I can't get on irc and some other high ports, but in vista it works fine. [03:09] i have problem i need ndiswrapper as the linux version of the driver for my wifi card doesnt work [03:09] I had sticky windows working with 7.04 but cant get any windows to appear on all desktops with 7.10 .... anyone have this same issue or have any solutions??? [03:09] i'll give it a try, thanks CubeXombi :) [03:09] Achoth, works all fine? [03:09] i might stay with 7.04 until 8.04 [03:09] juanbond no prob.. [03:09] I installed the new ati drivers and I think that might have something to do with the slowness [03:09] BorisYaltsin: on the terminal type: sudo iptables -L [03:09] christopher, me too, im not impressed with Gutsy [03:09] 7.10 offers me really little [03:09] heguru, and look for what? [03:10] 7.04 blew me away [03:10] BorisYaltsin: if you see more than 6 lines (excluding blanks) then you might have a firewall [03:10] then 7.10 was kinda like a flop [03:10] dguedes: Yep :P [03:10] christopher, I've see little changes... [03:10] Achoth, really? [03:10] gnome 2.20 is my favorite thing [03:10] achoth? [03:10] but not enough to make me upgrade [03:10] osxdude: Yeah, should it not? [03:10] so i've decided do not upgrade yet.. [03:11] xiven: Yeah? [03:11] dguedes: Why is that? [03:11] Achoth On the upgrade to 6.10 to 7.04 wasn't too good [03:11] lol wow why not just do a clean install [03:11] osxdude: Well, 7.04-7.01 was no problems :) [03:11] achoth> Do you know how to fix linux not finding the Job Control? [03:11] thanks all...

[03:13] ya too slow for me [03:13] lol [03:13] How do i install JSP on ubuntu [03:13] christopher: The reason is obvious [03:13] not really [03:13] i dont see why [03:13] christopher: It's like communism [03:13] ppl dont wanna change [03:13] thats why [03:14] Micro$oft is smart [03:14] Does anyone know if Job Control is something within the core of linux> [03:14] They managed to fool the entire world to buy their crap. [03:14] then why do they upgrade with every windows version [03:14] ya srsly. i dont get it either. its not like ms os'es are preinstalled on 99.3% of computers. [03:14] right [03:14] They do, as Lenin did, abuse the peoples ignorance to reach teh top [03:14] which is fine [03:14] hello, I recently upgraded to kubuntu gutsy, and now kvm is not working (it opens, but then it just hangs up the machine). I am using the linux-rt kernel, which might be the problem (but I used this kernel--well actually, I used the lowlatency one--with kubuntu feisty and it worked well). Any suggestions as to what I should do? [03:14] if it aint broke dont fix it doesnt really apply if it works (even half as$ed) people will still use it because they are ignorant and lazy [03:15] alot of people i know now know about linux just dont wanna change...? [03:15] even tho they can get the money back for the install of windows [03:15] christopher: I find it rather immoral >_> [03:15] CubeXombi: Worked great! Thanks! [03:15] they refuse to change [03:15] maybe they dont feel the need to change. [03:15] i dont like em any better than you do, but to be fair 90% of the world is actually retarded [03:15] i try to tell people how great it is [03:15] no sweat.. i was getting tired of 6 minute boots myself. [03:15] 50% barely know where the power switch is to their computer [03:15] linux isnt for everyone, and people who arent interested shouldnt be forced to try it. [03:15] no viri or spyware [03:15] kinda of a lie [03:15] They think Windows is "standard", nothing can be better [03:15] but true [03:15] :) [03:16] christopher: but they probably see you as a geek and with loads more computer savy than them. === dragonfly is now known as Dragonfly [03:16] hey buddy [03:16] how do i get removable media to stop mounting on my desktop?

[04:27] rather than "did you install x y and z?" [04:27] thats the good and bad side of linux [04:27] they have 4d cubes [04:27] Can I get quicktime on Ubuntu?

This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling? [04:28] tonyduke: I agree [04:28] cube: i know your name is cube but how important is a 3d cube to a user's desktop experience? [04:29] cube: oh...which cube ? [04:29] rubix [04:29] noolness i find it to be quite use able [04:29] bullgard4-> i think it meant where the program spend most of its execution time, how much memory it takes, etc [04:29] caligarn: i was asking if vista had anything like it and apparently it does with 4d [04:29] ive found it makes the desktop a faster experience [04:29] any download manager? [04:29] cube: xp doesn't have a cube but it has other features for it's usability [04:29] oh...hm...not sure if vista does..

[04:34] hi everyone, in windoze, my laptop battery lasts around 4 hours if i'm just doing basic stuff, web browsing, email etc. in ubuntu it only lasts around 2 hours. anyone know why this is and if theres a way to make it last longer? [04:34] can someone help me please? This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling? [04:34] Can I not create a dir in a parent dir that is owned by a group that I am a member of? [04:34] or a circle instead of a cube? [04:35] I did chmod g+w, and the group is there and I'm a member of it [04:35] ubuntu is not good for laptops i heard they kill laptop HDs [04:35] so u might wanna check on that [04:35] Hi, is anyone here running LTSP [04:35] orly Bonster how? [04:35] miss^l0t3k: ubuntu is not good with power management like any other version of linux, that's just the way it is [04:35] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a log for it? [04:35] Quit trolling Bonster... [04:36] is actual bug [04:36] if u check on google [04:36] not trolling [04:36] miss 3tk: i just saw a post about this...on slashdot right? [04:36] Bonster: slashdot said it killed hard drives which means it's about 20% chance it's true ;) [04:36] it is, but i don't think its actually specific to ubuntu. looked like a HDD firmware/BIOS/acpi thing [04:36] yer [04:36] and gawd knows anything that ends up on google == fact [04:37] linux traditionally sucks when it comes to power management [04:37] http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258&from=rss [04:37] everyone knows that [04:37] it's a server os [04:37] why is that? [04:37] Bonster: yes you are trolling: " i heard they kill laptop HDs" is the very definition of a troll. The fact is its an easily fixable problem. [04:37] ah. [04:37] anyone here running ubuntu + ltsp [04:37] do you worry about power management on a server os? [04:37] trolling is when i got no evidence [04:37] the bug is there [04:37] u lose [04:37] What about power management? (Just got here.) Does the computer just shut down when you use it? [04:37] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mandriva_An_open_letter_to_Steve_Ballmer [04:38] Can someone help me get my printer working? [04:38] tuntun: not just that the default ubuntu settings don't have a problem in that respect [04:38] it you comment out some letters and flip the last g you get god so its close enough [04:38] smmagic: Sure, what printer? [04:38] Lexmark Z600 series [04:38] why would i be trolling i freaken use ubuntu [04:38] smmagic: Point your browser to localhost:631 [04:38] well anyways that article that was sent would have nothing to do with the power not lasting as long as windows [04:39] smmagic, I have the same printer [04:39] schlort: looks like your drive is full? [04:39] It works? [04:39] because that it built in power management crap [04:39] smmagic, you have to install the driver [04:39] well if ur HD keeps spining [04:39] it uses more power [04:39] caz power manage differed a lot with different board. [04:39] Where do I get the driver? [04:39] linux does a lot of stuff that requires access to the hard drive (like atime) [04:39] enough said [04:39] Bonster: You are an asshat, here is the evidence:"ubuntu is not good for laptops i heard they kill laptop HDs". Haha! [04:39] The lexmark website has only red hat [04:39] atime ;) [04:40] smmagic, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83456&highlight=lexmark [04:40] MilitantPotato: df reports 32GB free [04:40] tuntun: if it wasnt true then tell me there is no such bug? [04:40] atime ;) let me say that once again...because linus loves to hit on that one ;) [04:40] smmagic: if lexmark has .rpms on there you can convert them using alien [04:40] you have to convert the driver to .deb [04:40] Bonster: you're wrong [04:40] and the board manufacturers dont give inside docs for llinux developers [04:40] Bonster: the rapid spindown/spin up is set by the manufacturer. [04:40] I have no idea how to do that [04:40] no atime is probably 99% of the issue [04:40] Hi guys, I have a problem with Ubuntu freezing within 60 minutes of booting up (running nothing but gnome-terminal and nautilus). I've run memtest for hours, and WinXP / Ubuntu LiveCD work just fine. I don't see anything abnormal in syslogs either. [04:40] its easy, just copy and paste the commands into the console [04:40] look up atime ;) [04:41] Bonster: it's just that ubuntu doesn't allow spindown unless you enable it. [04:41] smmagic: Looks like Lexmark 2600 is not supported. [04:41] bummer [04:41] I have z600 [04:41] if you have spindown and there is something that requires atime.... ;) hehhee [04:41] lexmark as a whole is a nightmare [04:41] Bonster: and, it doesn't happen to everyone. [04:41] how do i check if apache is running? [04:41] i didnt say every 1 [04:41] ps ax | grep apache [04:41] http://localhost [04:41] i just said he should check [04:41] to make sure [04:42] Bonster: which is because it's a hardware issue :) [04:42] riotkittie: were u tlkin 2 me? [04:42] is not a hardware [04:42] smmagic: Look it up on http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [04:42] because they dont have that problem in windows [04:42] Bonster: Yea, it is. [04:42] Bonster: I'm not arguing that it isn't a bug. I'm arguing that your statement was clearly trollish. Not to mention weasely... [04:42] plz read up on it [04:42] Bonster: because window overrides the manufacture set spindown time. [04:42] Bonster: Are we talking about the Hard Disk issue? [04:43] Zombie: yes. [04:43] :P [04:43] That only applies to specific Hitachi Hard Drives in Laptop mode. [04:43] Zombie: laptop mode spindowns [04:43] Bonster and anyone else involved with that discussion please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:43] my drive is fragment free [04:43] How do i change the port apache is listening to? [04:43] in the config [04:43] we were actually talking about batteries lasting 2 hours in linux and 4 hours on windows [04:43] Zombie: thank you. [04:43] brew: edit your httpd.conf file [04:43] Bonster: it's a hardware issue, not done by ubuntu. [04:43] my battery actually lasts as long under dapper as it does under xp [04:43] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it? [04:44] anyone here try Reiser4 yet? [04:44] smmagic: Does the Lexmark website have Linux drivers? [04:44] sure it is [04:44] yes [04:44] I actually talked to a Dell Tech from their 'Linux Experience' [04:44] Only .rpm [04:44] it works [04:44] smmagic: For your printer? [04:44] brew: you'll find httpd.conf in the conf directory (amazingly) [04:44] smmagic, I posted the only way to get it working [04:44] smmagic: Alien. [04:44] z605 is the saem driver [04:44] I have done that multiple times [04:44] smmagic: Actually, it would be lot easier to just get a fully supported printer. [04:44] buy HP, they just work [04:44] just open a console and copy and paste each line [04:44] smmagic: Alien will convert an RPM into a Deb. [04:44] brew: once you've changed the port number, restart apache [04:44] K then.. [04:45] Have to figure that out [04:45] !slien [04:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about slien - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:45] !alien [04:45] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [04:45] we can help, that is why IRC is here [04:45] george: i know, but i can't find it [04:45] lol [04:45] can someone help me please? This HDD has Xubuntu on it, but boot partition was on another HDD that is now gone, is there a way to fix this without reinstalling? [04:45] Ubuntu tells me that my battery is broken on boot, but the message is trimmed, and when I tryt o see it all, the message disappears. [04:45] homebrewcider: you have a live CD on hand? [04:45] any way I can see what thta message is saying? [04:45] george: could you tell me where to find the apache config file? [04:45] using now [04:46] to post here [04:46] brew /etc/apache [04:46] brew: dude. it's in the conf directory [04:46] homebrewcider: You should be able to reinstall GRUB with the livecd. [04:46] homebrewcider: What was the setup before? [04:46] After I d/l it, how do I alien it? [04:46] Was Ubuntu installed on hda1 or hdb1 or where? [04:46] instasll alien [04:46] 2 hdd, one with windows grub on that one, 2nd drive with linux [04:47] then alien foo.rpm [04:47] smmagic, sudo alien -i blahblah.rpm [04:47] in the dir [04:47] homebrewcider: Was Ubuntu installed on hda1 or hdb1 or where? [04:47] hdhdb1 [04:47] JimmyDee: no such file or directory [04:47] hdb1 [04:47] smmagic, open a terminal type sudo alien and then just drag the file into the terminal [04:47] windows on hda1 [04:47] Ok thankyou [04:47] brew, cd /etc/apache2 [04:47] homebrewcider: So linux was on hdb1? [04:47] yes [04:47] wait, wtf, I was going to download the windows drivers ofr my phone and I ended up asking why my battery is being reported broken in UBuntu... =/ [04:48] I have an advanced issue with VPNs I need assistance with.

After I type in my login info, it goes to an orange screen for a couple of seconds, and then I can see conky flickering in the corner. The next couple of seconds, my desktop settings load (background color, icons, etc) but conky disappears. can someone help? [04:49] yes, linux was on hdb1, which is now the only hdd [04:50] but on boot "missing operating system" [04:50] homebrewcider: So set the HD up like it was before, (as second IDE device on first IDE port - jumper it slave). Boot Ubuntu install CD or any live CD, chroot to the root filesystem and run grub again. [04:50] psyphen: there's nothing in httpd.conf [04:50] homebrewcider: You are going to have a lot of trouble if you don't set it up like it was before. [04:51] brew: are you sure? because mine says port 80 here [04:51] okay it's bck up with drives plugged in the way it was before [04:51] brew, are you running apache or apache2? [04:51] homebrewcider: You'd be better off to just re-install, (if you really don't want to set it up the way it was before). [04:51] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it? [04:51] brew: JimmyDee is probably right though. have a look at apache2.conf [04:51] first hdd windows, second hdd linux that shws "missing OS" [04:52] How do i set up ftp?

[04:53] why is it when i install crossover in gutsy, it does not appear in apps....???.... [04:53] <|xianai|> brew: ? [04:53] homebrewcider: if the computer will boot to slave drive, it would be an easy task to just have grub install the boot loader on the MBR of the same drive. If not, you'll need to install another drive as master on that first IDE port and have grub install on MBR of hda. [04:53] brew, my choice is proftpd It is installed and up and running in no time, sudo apt-get install proftpd [04:53] following instructions from ubuntu forums leaves an error message [04:53] <|xianai|> brew: use gftp lftp [04:53] brett: apt-get install vsftpd [04:54] Hey I'm using netatalk and trying to get trash to work from a OSX box... surely this can work?!

[04:54] why are you doing that? [04:54] what's the "docs" folder under my home directory for? [04:54] |xianai|: I assumed he ment server. [04:54] booting ubuntu from wubi, does it have direct support to hardware or its emulated? [04:54] |xianai|: i'm assuming he/she means a server since he/she already has apache [04:55] Do I unpack the Tar.gz before I alien it? [04:55] I can't access my linux files from my windows machines on my network, can some one help me? [04:55] brett: Were you asking about how to set up ftp server just to use ftp client? [04:55] anyone here try Reiser4 yet? [04:55] JimmyDee: is there a way to do it without the disc? Its asking for the disc i installed ubuntu with [04:55] brew, ok ctrl C [04:55] brew: Were you asking about how to set up ftp server just to use ftp client? [04:55] <|xianai|> Evanlec: seems bad [04:56] JimmyDee: alrighty [04:56] homebrewcider: Does the hdd have a "master boot record"? [04:56] hd0 or 1? [04:56] usr13: set up ftp on me server [04:56] brew, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list about the third line down you'll see deb blah blah cdrom put a # in front of that and then ctrl x y enter [04:56] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Reiser4 seems to be somewhat slow and buggy [04:56] brew: apt-get install vsftpd [04:56] Can anyone help diagnose a problem I am having installing Maple 11? The installation went smoothly on Feisty. On a completely fresh Gutsy install (2nd time around, and the problem persists), I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m63f78eb8 and my df reports: http://pastebin.com/m279ed428 [04:56] homebrewcider: the one you want to use [04:56] brew: sudo apt-get install vsftpd [04:56] JimmyDee: okey doke [04:57] i would assume the docs folder is like My Documents in windows, but i can't put anything in there... [04:57] <_Keef_> if I upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 will I lose data? [04:57] Apple: you're in luck. everyone's talking about ftp servers and clients at the moment. follow along [04:57] hang on, might have got it [04:57] thanks for help guys [04:57] I'm trying to install webmin on my server over here. I have it downloaded, I have it downloaded and just need installing instructions [04:58] !webmin [04:58] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [04:58] <|xianai|> join #debian [04:58] |xianai|, u've tried it? [04:58] !scripts [04:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about scripts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:58] Happyfeet: It comes with install instructions. [04:58] is their an alternative to webmin for ubuntu then? [04:58] how do you make a script load during booting? [04:58] <_Keef_> oh well guess I'll find otu soon [04:58] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, about one year ago [04:58] python script* [04:58] My bluetooth mouse and keyboard stopped working all of a sudden, and when I do a "sudo hidd --search" it says Searching... for like half a second [04:58] |xianai|, one year ago? reiser4 was even available then? thot it was relatively new, its not even merged into the kernel yet... [04:59] JimmyDee: do i want it to run as a service from inetd? [04:59] <|xianai|> Evanlec: after that i switch to xfs [04:59] Happyfeet: Most of the services are easy to configure, you don't really need webmin. [04:59] standalone [04:59] k thnaks for the help then [04:59] |xianai|, maybe it was buggy 1 year ago... [04:59] JimmyDee: k [04:59] Happyfeet: But if you must, go on and install it and use it for a short time and then un-install it. [04:59] |xianai|, what do u think of xfs in terms of performance? [04:59] MilitantPotato:"System>Preferences>Sessions>Startup Programs"? [05:00] <|xianai|> Evanlec: maybe, but with its main author in jail, what do you expect from it ? [05:00] tuntun: I want it to load regardless of the session I choose (kdm, gnome, xfrc) Will that work? [05:00] whats a good email server for ubuntu server in yalls opinion? [05:00] |xianai|, lol yea...only way to get it is to use the -mm patch...which i was about to try [05:00] <|xianai|> Evanlec: xfs is good in performance [05:00] JimmyDee: its installed! now can any of me user's ftp into me server? [05:00] Happyfeet: Most all of the server software that you install on Ubuntu is configured to run right off the bat. [05:01] postfix [05:01] exim [05:01] MilitantPotato:I'm not an expert so I dunno... [05:01] tuntun: no problem :) [05:01] brew: Edit /etc/vsftpd.conf [05:01] brew, should be able to [05:01] |xianai|, was wondering what fs i sould use, was gonna copy my installation over to a new sofware raid0 partition with xfs or reiser [05:01] sendmail if you want a lump on your head [05:01] usr13, I think he went with proftpd [05:01] does anyone have any good recommendations on help channels on microcontroller programming? [05:01] hello why is ubuntu so slow [05:02] <|xianai|> Evanlec: however, xfs seems still have some problems e.g. I always can repaire out a lot in /lost+founds after a sudden reboot [05:02] Because your computer is slow? [05:02] also why it wont ask you which packages to install during install [05:02] because vista is so fast [05:02] What are your specs? [05:02] Irreducibilis: opteron 275p with 2gb ram [05:02] Well that makes no sense. [05:02] |xianai|, yea...well i spose any filesystem doesnt like sudden reboots... [05:02] what does that mean? [05:02] s3gw dont you think this might be a bad place to ask that question without negative results? [05:02] |xianai|, but it is journaled right? so there shouldnt be any data loss... [05:02] I have a P4 1.5Ghz with 768mb RAM and it runs fast. [05:03] JimmyDee: :) [05:03] JimmyDee: thx! it wrx [05:03] hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights. [05:03] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am currently typing my words on a xfs on a software raid0 [05:03] i have a dorito and it runs fast [05:03] what could be the problem? TIA [05:03] JimmyDee: lol this is t3h coolness [05:03] ok, so why it wont ask me which packages to install [05:03] |xianai|, sweet, so u would recommend that combination? [05:03] i'm tearing my hair out at the moment -- i'm trying to use the mobile broadband card via ppp, but can't work out what is going on. is there anyone around who could help? [05:03] <|xianai|> Evanlec: so i think its good [05:03] you must tell it what to install this is not windoze [05:03] brew yer welcome [05:03] |xianai|, cool, well i think i'll do that then [05:04] |xianai|, do you have any recommendation about how i can clone my current installation over to the new partition? [05:04] dd [05:04] +1 dd [05:05] <|xianai|> Evanlec: well, I followed the benchmarks, and untill now the benchmarks seems not a lie to me, LOL [05:06] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I think the clone process is rather straight forward using a livecd [05:06] hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights. What could be happening? This is odd. [05:07] choose the 2nd option [05:07] |xianai|, well i just wanna copy the entire / partition over to the new partition, i dont have any /home or /boot partitions made yet [05:07] hello [05:07] <|xianai|> Evanlec: mount old, mount new, cp -a old/* new/ [05:07] humblerodent: figure out how to add yourself to the admin group using commandline [05:07] i have a capture card and i am not sure how to make it work [05:07] MilitantPotato: I know how to do that....but then I have to figure out how to manually do EVERYTHING that should be happening at boot [05:08] Gaack, damnvidia card just blinked and switched to 2D speeds and software rendering. [05:08] MilitantPotato: I am saying that what happens is that it BOOTS with no root privs....lol [05:08] well not boot but after boot [05:08] Evanlec: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hda2 bs=512 will clone the first partition to the second. [05:08] like after it gets into the system and stuff is set up [05:08] what's the best way to stop a process that is using 100% of the CPU? if, say, the gnome system monitor won't even respond [05:08] When I connect my psp to my computer and turn on usb mode ubuntu detects it as what appears to be a music player and when I transfer files from my computer to it something goes wrong and the files end up as 0 bytes [05:09] can anyone help me? [05:09] it seems i can't access my server from the web. could someone help meh? [05:09] whats your ip address? [05:09] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it? [05:09] Evanlec: Would Ghosting '/' meet your needs? [05:09] brew: What is your outside IP [05:09] Hi My Tv Tuner card has been detected by default or at least that Philips SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder what is listed in hardware Information in Gutsy . However I cant get my TvTuner to work in TvTime, MythTV or ScanTV. How would I start to troubleshoot this ? No recording needed just want to watch TV once in a while. [05:09] cwgannon, I have no real idea what I'm doing, but in an emergency like that I'd just ctrl+alt+backspace [05:09] tuntun, well...yea, what do u mean by that? norton ghost? [05:09] brew: How are you connected to the internet? [05:10] do you have a firewall? [05:10] usr13, would i run that command from a livecd or something? [05:10] usr13: 71.175.49.213 [05:10] pirate: yeah, that's what i've been forced to do. amarok can be a real ass about looping through songs when it can't make the audio device its own [05:10] Evanlec: You can, yes. [05:10] Evanlec: Yes... [05:10] okay [05:11] now the new partition is going to be a software raid0 xfs [05:11] I also have a networking issue... I can't assign a static IP address and get it to work... I put in all the proper information in the network manager but it breaks my connection and I can't connect again until I turn on roaming mode [05:11] is there gonna be problems there? should i install modules on this install before copying it over? [05:11] brew: 21/tcp filtered [05:11] hey, I just built a brand-new computer, and booted the Ubuntu desktop/live CD .... I get a blank Gnome screen, and NOTHING happens, and I figured out that it's because for some reason I don't have administrative rights. What could be happening? This is odd. [05:11] usr13: the server is hooked up to a switch which is hooked up to a router which is hooked up to verizon's fiOs network [05:11] dont use network manager. use vim [05:11] <|xianai|> Evanlec: go to our private channel [05:12] usr13: what's this 21/tcp business? [05:12] brew: brew Then you will need to tell your router to pass port 20 and 21 to the server's IP [05:12] |xianai|, ? i msg'd u? what channel? [05:12] that is the default port ftp listens on [05:12] hello [05:12] usr13: i set the server's subnet IP as a DMZ [05:12] That is providing that verison does not block incomming port 21 traffic. [05:13] so nothing protects it [05:13] what's the best way to stop a process that is using 100% of the CPU? if, say, the gnome system monitor won't even respond [05:13] <|xianai|> Evanlec: hen copy the dirs separately [05:13] Evanlec: I retract my suggestion of restoring a ghost if you are on a RAID...It may work but I am not familiar with it... [05:13] <|xianai|> Evanlec: boot with livecd, do with the partitions, copy dirs to where you want and make new kernel install grub and reboot [05:13] brew: You will need to tell the router to forward ftp to that server's inside IP. [05:13] |xianai|, i need to make a new kernel? [05:13] usr13: i had it working about a month ago, but after i rebooted, it stopped working [05:13] anyone have a problem getting sound to work on a latitude d830? [05:14] |xianai|, cant i just install the md-raid package and the xfs package on my current install? [05:14] reboot it again [05:14] usr13: hmm.... seems to be a deeper issue... [05:14] brew: 21/tcp open [05:14] <|xianai|> Evanlec: you'd better compiled in the raid support if you do not want a complex raid setup in initrd [05:15] usr13: i can't do http://192.168.0.242 [05:15] whats a good dvd burning app? [05:15] it doesn't respond [05:15] brew: It's working. [05:15] I have a problem about the Firefox [05:15] Just accepted ftp request. [05:15] |xianai|, okay, should i make the new kernel on my current ubuntu? [05:15] usr13: sweetness [05:15] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not sure about that , I am a debian user :) [05:15] brew: ProFTPD 1.2.10 just ansered my ftp request [05:16] usr13: but i thing apache is broked :\ [05:16] |xianai|, how do i go about making a new kernel from the livecd and copying it over? [05:16] <|xianai|> Evanlec: And I compiled my own kernel [05:16] |xianai|, i have a custom kernel too but...im just wondering how i'd copy it over to the new install... [05:16] |xianai|, or the new partition rather [05:17] can anybody tell me a good DVD burning app? [05:17] brew: Why? [05:17] <|xianai|> Evanlec: It depends on if your old kernel had already raid support compiled in or it will configure it properly by initrd [05:17] How do I alien this .gz.sh file? [05:17] GTK [05:18] DisabledDuck:K3b, Xfburn [05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I guess the official kernel from ubuntu is ok [05:18] brew: Is it just turned off? [05:18] |xianai|, raid support needs to be compiled into the kernel, can't be a module? [05:18] <_Keef_> I can't get sendmail working under ubuntu, any ideas? is there a error log for it? [05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: if it is a module, you do need a initrd [05:18] |xianai|, right now im using 2.6.23.1 custom from kernel.org [05:18] sendmail is nightmare stuff [05:18] Can somone help me get my printer working? [05:18] _Keef_: which client? [05:18] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I hate initrd :) [05:18] <|xianai|> |xianai|: [05:19] DisabledDuck:both available through Applications>Add/Remove [05:19] port 80 is still filtered [05:19] smmagic: Yes, what printer are you using? [05:19] <|xianai|> Evanlec: personally [05:19] Lexmark z600 series [05:19] <_Keef_> Bonster: I'm trying to get it to work with php [05:19] smmagic: Sorry, lexmark z600 is a paperweight [05:19] I downloaded the redhat driver, but inside it is z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh [05:20] <_Keef_> Bonster: I've tried with and without postfix [05:20] Paperweight? [05:20] usr13: what happens when u type http://71.175.49.213 [05:20] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Then compiled it in, man, or you may need to update your initrd [05:20] |xianai|, hmm...this is all complicated [05:20] usr13: [05:20] usr13: ? [05:20] in /etc/apache2/ports.conf add line Listen 4096 [05:20] george: me? [05:20] |xianai|, can i modprobe the module in right now so my system detects raid? [05:21] then /etc/apache2/ports.conf [05:21] <|xianai|> Evanlec: as long as your data is here, kernel boot failure is not a panic LOL [05:21] What's a GUI way to install a webcam for the absolute biggest n00b? [05:21] |xianai|, true... [05:21] no wait i cannot cp anymore [05:21] <|xianai|> Evanlec: NO [05:21] I just deleted a ton of valuable files from the trash. Is there any way to recover them??? [05:21] i have a floppy that won't boot "non-system disk, replace the disk and try again" but i have tested everything i can think of... someone want to pipe in ? [05:21] <|xianai|> george: if you can only modprobe it now, you do need to tell initrd to modprobe BEFORE mounting your root [05:21] then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [05:22] brew: No connection. Is apache running? [05:22] |xianai|, im just wondering, where do i compile the kernel? on my current system? [05:22] heh? [05:22] <|xianai|> Evanlec: : if you can only modprobe it now, you do need to tell initrd to modprobe BEFORE mounting your root [05:22] <|xianai|> sorry [05:22] <|xianai|> george: it is not for you :) [05:22] |xianai|, how do i tell if my current kernel has raid support? [05:22] stop confusing me! [05:22] I got beat up with upgrades today, but finally, I'm back online. Upgrade manager tells me I have to restart, but I don't want to loose my uptime, options? [05:22] Can someone confirm in feisty that when you go to System > Administration > Network > General, that there is a check box there with something about Scanning for network services? [05:23] is there an easy-to-use undelete utility for Ubuntu? [05:23] Hey, anybody remember on the old pre-OSX macs there was a hack to make it so that a singing Oscar the Grouch lived in your trashcan? It'd be sooooo cooool if Ubuntu could have something like that! [05:23] brew: ps aux |grep httpd [05:23] secret901: Yes ;) (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=recover+deleted+files+ubuntu&meta=&btnG=Google+Search) [05:23] n2diy don't restart... ? but it won't be running the latest kernel/patches... [05:24] smmagic: You need to get another printer. [05:24] <|xianai|> Evanlec: hmmm.... maybe refer to /sys, man, [05:24] secret901: how did you delete? From the command line with rm, there is no recovery. [05:24] which file system comes default with Ubuntu? [05:24] smmagic: lexmark z600 is not supported. [05:24] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not very sure about that , but you may make menuconfig in your linux/ [05:24] n2diy: I used "Delete from Trash" [05:25] Great.. [05:25] Why does Ubuntu 7.10 install several executable Bluetooth programs on my laptop although the laptop manual does not mention Bluetooth? [05:25] |xianai|, make menuconfig and look? [05:25] smmagic: Sorry... [05:25] Agent_bob: roger that, I could init 1 and then init 5, but I was hoping there was something more elegant than that now? [05:25] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, make menuconfig and look your kernel configs [05:25] bullgard4, that's just the default for 7.10 whether or not you got bluetooth ?? [05:25] Evening everyone [05:25] smmagic: See: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z600_series_z601_z602 [05:25] bullgard4: if the bluetooth stuff wasn't included on the CD it wouldn't work out of the box. So, it is included. Just remove it if you don't have bluetooth. [05:25] n2diy: I hit cancel about 3/4th of the way [05:25] secret901: I don't know of anyway to recover from that. [05:25] |xianai|, okay... [05:26] n2diy that wouldn't get you the new kernel. only a boot will. [05:26] n2diy: not true according to here:http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-recover-deleted-files-with-lsof-command.html [05:26] bullgard4, most laptops sold today come with bluetooth as standard [05:26] <|xianai|> Evanlec: 'cause i forget the /sys entries corresponding to raid/md support [05:26] Does anyone have success with using the latest fglrx with OpenGL? I heard it was flakey, and it seems to be unusuable more or less [05:26] n2diy that's the one thing that we "reboot linux" for, new kernel. [05:26] samitheberber: For future reference, see: http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [05:26] 8080 is open [05:27] secret901: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-recover-deleted-files-with-lsof-command.html [05:27] Agent_bob: what about when ubuntu says you need to reboot for a driver? what's the way to avoid that? [05:27] Atomic_UE: But mine not. And a general statement may not be helpful in a paticular case. [05:27] <|xianai|> Evanlec: Good luck man :) [05:27] Agent_bob: Well, it must be a critical upgrade, since that is all Upgrade manager is permitted to do, guess I'll have to byte the bullet? [05:27] |xianai|, thx ;p [05:27] I need a new printer.. [05:27] smmagic: For future reference, see: http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [05:27] |xianai|, is there a package for ubuntu for raid, isnt it called dm-raid or something? [05:27] <|xianai|> george: hey, man i was not on purpose, i said sorry [05:27] usr13: do u want the output from "ps aux |grep httpd"? [05:28] smmagic: Check on Lexmark's site for drivers though, but I doubt you'll find any. [05:28] <|xianai|> Evanlec: yeah, it seems to be the one by name :) [05:28] how do i add feisty repository? [05:28] MilitantPotato driver is a "kernel module" i.e. part of the kernel. but if the running module can be removed from the kernel (most can) then you can rmmod blah && modprobe blah and have the new "blah" running without a reboot. [05:28] bullgard4, from what I recall ubuntu has installed bluetooth stuff by default for at least a good number of release now whether you have bluetooth or not. It's just in 7.10 they seem to of installed a couple more bluetooth apps as well [05:28] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I am not sure [05:28] tuntun: from the article, it appears to only work if you still got the file open [05:28] cellofellow: I will further enquire before I remove programs. [05:28] |xianai|, or mdadm? as here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 [05:28] brew: Yes, but meantime, Do you see that httpd is running.? [05:28] Agent_bob: ah, very cool. [05:29] If I cant get Tv on TV Time what are the chances of getting a signal on VLC? [05:29] <|xianai|> Evanlec: mdadm should be [05:29] Agent_bob: then reload Xorg I'd take it? [05:29] |xianai|, kk [05:29] MilitantPotato there is also modprobe -r pretty handy [05:29] Are these upgrades I'm being forced to get, a result of Gutsy being back ported to Dapper? [05:29] brew: Use pastebin [05:29] MilitantPotato if it's xrelated, then yes. [05:29] secret901: That was the first google hit. But as long as you haven't WRITTEN OVER the deleted files you can still recover them i.e they should still be there. [05:29] x related [05:30] <|xianai|> Evanlec: but I am not using it during the boot time [05:30] Agent_bob: usually is, ATI is about all I update driver wise it seems. [05:30] |xianai|, putting my partition at the end of the disk would be the fastest right? since its on the outside of the platter and thus faster rotation? [05:30] fglrx* [05:30] oh this doesnt look good [05:30] tuntun: I hope they haven't been written over, they were just deleted moments ago [05:30] Evanlec: I think it's the other way around, inside is faster. [05:30] MilitantPotato heh LTS gets whole new kernel sub-versions [05:30] usr13, but wouldnt the outside rotate faster? like a record? [05:31] Evanlec: I usually put swap on the first partition. [05:31] Where is the default runlevel specified? I have no /etc/inittab on this Gutsy box. Did they do away with /etc/inittab? [05:31] usr13: output of "ps aux |grep httpd" is "XXXXXXXX 14334 0.0 0.1 2876 796 TTY1 R+ 17:23 0:00 grep httpd" [05:31] secret901: That's the best place to be. Don't restart your system. [05:32] es. [05:32] i [05:32] levander yes they did. you aren't using sysVinit anymore toto. it's upstart now. [05:32] brew: /etc/init.d/httpd start [05:32] <_Keef_> how do I get the mail php function working under ubuntu 7.10? [05:32] Agent_bob: sooo, can i still do a "init 2" to enter runlevel 2? [05:32] <|xianai|> Evanlec: usr13: theoretically, it may be different but I wonder it is even observable [05:32] i want to buy HardDisk 320 GB, does maxtor is ok? because i hear seagate acquired maxtor.. [05:32] brew: or /etc/init.d/apachel?? start [05:33] Can someone confirm in feisty that when you go to System > Administration > Network > General, that there is a check box there with something about Scanning for network services? [05:33] |xianai|, yea.. [05:33] so, does maxtor as good as seagate? because before maxtor is have bad reputation [05:33] levander you probably default to runlevel 2 ubuntu always has. but yes init # should still work for compatability [05:33] brew: or /etc/init.d/apache [hit tab key] [05:33] Agent_bob: how would I set a python script to load irregardless of which session I choose? [05:33] <|xianai|> CyberMad: maxtor is ok, I was being using it for years [05:33] MilitantPotato /etc/rcS.d/ [05:34] what file system does Ubuntu come default with? doesn't it support journaling or something? [05:34] Hi guys, I have a problem with Ubuntu freezing within 60 minutes of booting up (running nothing but gnome-terminal and nautilus). I've run memtest for hours, and WinXP / Ubuntu LiveCD work just fine. I don't see anything abnormal in syslogs either. [05:34] in kubuntu how do i enable double clicking of icons instead of the annoying single click [05:34] MilitantPotato oh session sorry was still thinking runlevel. /etc/rc.local [05:34] On a Radeon 9700 Pro, is it better to use the free ati drivers, or fglrx? [05:35] <|xianai|> secret901: I will be surprised if nowadays some dist does not have a journaled fs as its default [05:35] AncientPC sounds like an overheating problem with your pc [05:35] <_Keef_> secret901:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [05:35] usr13: httpd doesn't exist :\...... and apache2 says could not bind to address [05:35] brew: /etc/init.d/apachectl start or /etc/init.d/apachectl -k start [05:35] <|xianai|> christopher: kcontrol [05:35] |xianai|, refer to this page...interesting http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cd/constSpindle-c.html [05:35] Agent_bob: that would run the script if I choose KDE or Gnome? I also don't want it to load it if I logout and change the GUI manager [05:35] turn it off and check if it is too hot inside [05:35] ty [05:35] Agent_bob: if it runs it twice it causes hell. [05:35] i couldnt find it [05:35] MilitantPotato you can call it from rc.local it should run at boot after everything else. if it needs to start with each login put it in an rc file in the users home ~/.profile maybe [05:35] I have a permissions problem that will take a little bit to explain, who wants to help me [05:35] hey all, have a quesion, in kubuntu i can change permissions on external media via typing kdesu konqueror in terminal and then changing them via konqueror, so how do i do a similar procedure with ubuntu?? im new to it. [05:35] usr13: "httpd (PID XXXX) already running" [05:36] usr13, check this out... http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cd/constSpindle-c.html [05:36] MilitantPotato and i would look into calling it in a way that checks to make sure it's the first instance [05:37] Agent_bob: /etc/rc.local will do her, thanks :) [05:37] zgmf-x20a: gksudo-gedit? [05:37] I put a DVD in my DVD drive and it says I don't have permissions... it works in Windows fine with winDVD... any ideas why this wouldn't work in Ubuntu? I can't even browse any of the files on the dvd [05:37] Agent_bob: I spent an hour on google trying to sort that out, I had no luck. [05:37] n2diy: thank you i will try that [05:37] agent_bob, may I pm u a question [05:37] <|xianai|> Evanlec: 60% what a great number [05:37] <|xianai|> !!! [05:37] hey folks... for some reason, my alt key doesnt work on my keyboard.... is there *anyway* i can have another way of highlighting the address bar? i love the quick key shortcut to the address bar ... :P [05:37] MilitantPotato like maybe pidof script_name.py || script_name.py [05:37] Hey, does gusty have confirmed sound problems with SigmaTel STAC9221 (64bit ubuntu desktop)? [05:38] Agent_bob: I'm reading on upstart.ubuntu.com, but I still don't see where my /etc/inittab has gone? [05:38] <|xianai|> Evanlec: maybe i should take it for serious !! LOL [05:38] <_Keef_> how can I get the "mail" php function working under ubuntu 7.10? I've got the rest of the server setup already [05:38] MilitantPotato that assumes that if it's not in the processtable it's ok to start it. [05:38] |xianai|, 60%? where'd u see that? [05:38] ok where in kcontrol can i change the single click to dounle click havent used kde in well over 4 months [05:38] n2diy: it said bash, command not found [05:38] levander i'm pretty ignorant on upstart myself, i still use sysV [05:39] <|xianai|> Evanlec: last line of your recom. page [05:39] nvm found it [05:39] search function [05:39] wow [05:39] kde is so much nicer [05:39] christopher there is a kde specific channel too #kubuntu [05:39] Evanlec: Ok, I stand corrected, I guess outside tracks read faster, "on newer HDs". Thanks for the info. [05:39] <|xianai|> christopher: hmm.... click all around, you will missed it in the mouse control panel [05:39] Agent_bob: yeah, it kinda sux they changed it, i learned sysv init like 10 years ago, and still knew enough to fake it every time i needed the knowledge. This is the first time in a long time I've had to go and figure out what the deal s... [05:40] Which is better: kbuntu/ubuntu..and why. [05:40] usr13, yea, and on newer cd-rom/dvd drives as well, that use constant angular velocity [05:40] <|xianai|> will not missed it [05:40] resuba i'm not registered. if you need to talk to me, it will have to be in here. [05:40] zgmf-x20a: gksudo gedit? [05:40] ok [05:40] <|xianai|> Evanlec: you see that number ? [05:40] brew: Can you see it with your browser? "localhost" ? [05:40] |xianai|, yea [05:41] I have a file on /home/desktop/database under the Andrew user and I'd like to move it to the oracle user's /home/oracle [05:41] how do I do this [05:41] Agent_bob: is there a way for me to store a fresh install of ubuntu on my external drive with out having to make a partition image ? I want to restore it back to fresh at a later time . [05:41] is launchpad the tool where I can sign up for software development support roles to further advance ubuntu? [05:41] n2diy: that just opens up a blank document [05:41] That's a mouthfull: constant angular velocity [05:41] tators sudo mv /path/blah /new-path/blah [05:41] hey all, have a quesion, in kubuntu i can change permissions on external media via typing kdesu konqueror in terminal and then changing them via konqueror, so how do i do a similar procedure with ubuntu?? im new to it. [05:41] christopher: It shouldn't be a heating problem as I don't have problems with other OS's (or even the same OS from Live CD) and that it sits on top of a notebook cooler. [05:41] zgmf-x20a: good, so open the file you want to edit! :) [05:41] agent: yeah I can' tfigure out what paths to each other [05:42] n2diy: no i dont want t edit a file, i want to change the permissions on external hard disks [05:42] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ? [05:42] Agent_bob tators? [05:42] I don't know if it means anything, but sounds interesting. Makes sense though... as you said before, the tracks on the outside will pass under the head at a faster rate, so... [05:42] <|xianai|> I am using debian [05:42] resuba? [05:42] iam sorry [05:42] <|xianai|> I wonder if it is the same in ubuntu [05:42] zgmf-x20a: ah, ok, so run gksudo nautilus. [05:42] anjing [05:42] noob question... I'm trying to build a plugin which just has a .c file and it instructs me to go to pidgin/plugins.... it tells me to do cd pidgin/plugins but it won't let me do that... [05:42] i thought tators was a command [05:42] Evanlec: for you ^^^ [05:42] hah [05:43] resuba tar ball make a tar image sudo tar -czf / [05:43] <|xianai|> usr13: yeah, that's the story [05:43] usr13, what? [05:43] Agent_bob: i want to include every thing [05:43] Evanlec: I don't know if it means anything, but sounds interesting. Makes sense though... as you said before, the tracks on the outside will pass under the head at a faster rate, so... [05:43] resuba that does. [05:43] su mv /home/desktop/database /home/oracle produced no results, the files are still where they were initially [05:43] usr13, yea, and look at this too http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/geom/tracks_ZBR.htm [05:44] ~$ mencoder './a.ogg' -ovc vcodec-mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1200 -oac mp3lame -o b.mpeg4 ogg to other format ,how to do it ? [05:44] Agent_bob: i dont know what dirs to list cant i jsut do "/" ? [05:44] has anyone here successfully booted ubuntu 7.10 live cd with an ati x-series vid card? [05:44] resuba the things in the four dirs i said to omit are not something that you include the system makes them at boot time. [05:44] how do I refer to a partition? [05:44] usr13, you're right, the drive is filled from the outside in, so therefore the first partition on a drive wil be the fastest... [05:44] su mv /home/desktop/database /home/oracle produced no results, the files are still where they were initially [05:45] Agent_bob: apparently, there's a /etc/event.d directory, i think it's /etc/event.d/rc-default that "replaces" inittab. There's a comment in that script that it "guesses the default runlevel"... [05:45] brew: in /etc/apache2/ports.conf add this line: Listen 4096 [05:45] resuba you can include all but you'll get lots of errors. i sujest omitting /proc /sys /tmp /dev zip up all the rest. [05:45] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ? [05:45] then: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload [05:45] <|xianai|> hey, all guys, I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ? [05:46] n2diy: excellent, thats what i was looking for. so in ubuntu nautilus is konquerors equivalent then. minus web browsing i suppose. [05:46] has any one here ever use partimage? [05:46] zgmf-x20a, yep. [05:46] Agent_bob: and, that script uses 'telinit', not 'init' [05:46] Is there any one here that has ever used partimage [05:46] cool thanks all [05:46] anyone know where I might find more information about how to debug a gnome theme? [05:46] How do I know which files in /dev are my hard drives? [05:46] hd* [05:46] or sd* [05:46] levander cool. i'll note that. [05:47] zgmf-x20a: Good. I'm not sure about how gksudo and konqueror play together, but if it works, go for it!;? [05:47] <|xianai|> Evanlec: did you cam across that bug? [05:47] levander and last i looked telinit was a symlink anyway [05:47] |xianai|, what bug? [05:47] secret901 cat /proc/partitions [05:47] secret901, hd1, hd2, are ata, sd1, sd2 are scsi.. [05:48] hey folks... for some reason, my alt key doesnt work on my keyboard.... is there *anyway* i can have another way of highlighting the address bar? i love the quick key shortcut to the address bar ... :P [05:48] <|xianai|> Evanlec: I found that after a mysterious dist-upgrade , my num led does not turn on for ever, do you have that same problem ? [05:48] <|xianai|> Evanlec: seems like a bug in xorg [05:48] n2diy: lol, it is the same function. kdesu konqueror will open konqueror with sudo privlages to edit permissions, etc. and now i see gksudo nautilus does the same, but via nautilus, and no web browsing capability [05:48] arooni-mobile have two alt keys ? try the other linux seperates them [05:49] |xianai|, my numlock light has never turned on...i dont think i have a numlock light lol [05:49] Hi, I've done a lot of search, but with no luck. I have a Microsoft Mouse and have managed to configure all of it's buttons, etc, but the mouse wheel is far too sensitive. Does anyone know how to adjust this? [05:49] mine was broken too, but i thought it was caused by the coffee i spilt on my keyboard. [05:49] fuck all [05:49] <|xianai|> Evanlec: then caps lock led ? [05:49] too much time and energy [05:49] Agent_bob, i do have two alt keys .. and everything works with when i dont have compiz visual effects enabled... but when i do... its like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587747 [05:49] ryan_, u got all ur buttons wroking? including forward/back buttons? [05:49] Yes. [05:49] Evanlec: I see... Yes. Well I was told early on, to make the first partition the one you need to have fast seek times on. I assumed that information was correct. Turns out it was / is. Ok. good. thanks for that. [05:49] |xianai|, no i dont have any led's apparently lol [05:50] Agent_bob: I see sda1... but I don't see them in /dev [05:50] zgmf-x20a: No browsing?!? Are you sure, type a URL in Nautilus's address bar and see what happens? [05:50] <|xianai|> Evanlec: all buttons working except the leds [05:50] tag- please keep it clean. and no i don't know anything about the gnome themes [05:50] usr13, yea...bad news for me...my windows partition is the first partition....ugh, moving it takes FOREVER [05:50] secret901, the path for that scsi drive would be /dev/sda1 [05:50] i dislike themes [05:50] try to 'ls /dev/sda1' [05:50] <_Keef_> could someone help me please, postfix receives the messages puts them in queue but can't send them [05:50] <|xianai|> Evanlec: your computer is so cool, LOL [05:50] |xianai|, yea...pretty much, there's some whacky buttons for like shortcut keys...i dunno, its a fairly new wireless logitech kb [05:51] ryan_, really...even in nautilus? [05:51] Ok, I'm outta here. C U all later.

I hadn't tried that until now. [05:52] I'm trying 'sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x6885' which apparently should create ttyUSB0,1,2 -- it loads, but no ttyUSB's... anyone know how to debug?

I get a lot of DRM questions and wanted to get that out of the way [06:08] Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[06:09] that means another package manager is open [06:09] kill it [06:09] you were right [06:09] How do I find the path to a file in terminal?

[06:10] Well, I'm not entirely sure I could do everything my work requires with Ubuntu. [06:10] MilitantPotato: locate "filename" [06:10] hi i have a problem with my newly installed fiesty. It does not continue on boot. just hangs on the progress bar loading. When i restart and use the recovery mode. everything looks ok. except the limtied features that i am able to use. Need help ? thanks [06:11] Kento: in that case i'd dual boot or you can run it in parrells or VMware fusion [06:11] I'm going to dual boot it. [06:11] n2diy: ty, how about an application name and not get spammed with other things with the program name in it? [06:12] Kento: a buddy of mine is running ubuntu in parells and has the thing where if you slap the screen it switches oses [06:12] I was just wondering whether I really should invest the time in doing this. I might have to reformat my harddrive, which is a chore. [06:12] MilitantPotato: ?? run locate, and the name of the file you are trying to locate!? [06:12] Kento, can I recommend getting a small external usb hdd [06:12] if i slap my screen, my screen falls on the floor [06:13] kento: personally (coming from a free software zealout) yes i would do it, but i have a strong bias [06:13] n2diy: I did locate amarok and got 100+ lines of things found [06:13] george, don't do that! :) [06:13] Help on booting up fiesty on a turion x2 acer aspire. Fiesty does not load during bootup except on recovery mode [06:13] Parallels is a strange recommendation coming from a free software zealot. [06:13] Kento, then disable the internal hdd in bios, and ubuntu will happily install on the external without touching the internal. once it's good re-enable the internal hdd and the pc will be exactly as it was. insert and choose the external hdd to run ubuntu [06:13] nite all [06:14] Kento: I know but I'm not sure if Zen runs on a Mac [06:14] MilitantPotato: this happens, you have to narrow down your search. It is a puzzle, and you need to find more clues. [06:15] Kento: or go with pkh's idea, I like that one, would have never thought of it [06:16] Kento, if you want to get a feel for ubuntu, i'd avoid parallels/vmware/etc. they take away the 'feel' of the os because everything's slow jerky and doesn't flow. [06:16] Hi. I've got a Dell Latitude D810 dual booting XP and a fresh install of Ubuntu, and Ubuntu seems to consistently lock up after around half an hour of use.

PRoblem is during bootup it just goes on a hang state during loading of the progress bar. [06:16] thanks [06:16] CharlesG, look up memtest86 [06:17] Kento: welp may the source be with you, im off to bed now, good luck and happy hacking [06:17] CharlesG: Is it a laptop, hibernating? [06:17] CharlesG, that's where I'd look first. [06:17] i had ubuntu on vmware workstation untill it expired ( the license ). i cant live without my xp. Any simple way to install ubuntu without uninstalling my xp? [06:17] Alright, I'll give this a try. [06:17] It's a laptop, and I have not tried to hibernate since installing Ubuntu. [06:17] or any link [06:17] Hi, I have the grub problem, when I try to load XP. [06:17] Anything to avoid using X11. [06:17] I'll look into memtest86.

[06:19] 07983534514 - prank it [06:19] Thanks. I guess I'll boot into memtest86 now. [06:19] Grub - How can I get the Hare Drive Back [06:19] and what is hdd ? [06:19] hehe [06:19] help on bootup problem. [06:20] CharlesG, good night, it will run for a long time. [06:20] wtlconfusesme, no, it's a hard-drive with ubuntu on it. i just disabled the internal windows drive, plugged in the external drive and isntalled ubuntu. now if I have the external usb hdd plugged in on boot I gt ubuntu, otherwise I get windows. [06:20] <_Keef_> could someone please help me to fix my postfix problem? [06:20] wtlconfusesme, and the ubuntu installer can't see th ewindows disk on install so it can't f*&k with it at all. [06:20] argh. [06:21] there's no way to restrict locate to echoing only applications? [06:21] _Keef_: if somebody new the answer, they would help you. [06:21] MilitantPotato, try which [06:21] okay quick question: how do i upgrade from 7.10 release candidate to 7.10 official ? i just need the OS to understand it so i can use the 7.10 official cd [06:21] i.e. which xchat [06:21] pkh: thank you very much :) [06:21] phk > you said you have it in usb pen drive ? [06:21] evanlec: just do the updates normally and you'll have the official 7.10 === enyc_ is now known as enyc [06:22] no thats too big [06:22] Jimdb, yes i know...but like for instance im trying to install a package, its askin for my release candidate cd, i put in my official cd and it wont take it... [06:22] <_Keef_> n2diy: it doesn't seem like a hard task, I'm sure plenty of people know how to do it [06:22] wtlconfusesme, yes. but it's a 2.5" usb laptop drive. a normal laptop drive in an enclosure with a usb lead, but basically the same as a en-drive [06:22] Jimdb, how do i get it to realise that its now official? [06:22] MilitantPotato: try /etc/app.name? [06:22] n2diy: which said /usr/bin/appname [06:23] evanlec: look into your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove references to your cd [06:23] by the way, ubuntu does not come with gnu compiler tools by default , right? [06:23] Jimdb, alright, thats one way to do i spose...but isnt there a way to do like dist-upgrade or package upgrade or something so im "7.10 official" according to the os [06:23] I'm quickly losing my mind!!! has anyone got any knowledge on how to set up usbserial devices??? [06:23] _Keef_: you might be right, but nobody, here, now knows the answer. [06:23] http://pastebin.com/m44b09a35 lsmod http://pastebin.com/m2a003960 dmesg . Could anyone look at these and explain what might be doing wrong with y Tv Tuner. Ive pretty much tried every single troubleshooting based thread :( [06:24] wtlconfusesme, no, just grab build-essential package from apt [06:24] MilitantPotato: so you found it, good! [06:24] i see,tx [06:24] I keep getting the following error in /var/log/messages: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting [06:24] n2diy: yep pkh told me about the which command. [06:25] I've replaced the ipw2200 .fw files in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ a half-dozen times, restarted a few times, and I keep getting this problem [06:25] MilitantPotato: But.... is it compiled, or a binary? [06:25] it might be notable that the problem only happens when the network card is under a heavy load [06:25] anyone know if gutsy-proposed repository is safe to use regularly? [06:25] n2diy: it was from synaptic, so pre-compiled I'd take it. [06:26] stick-guy, i've had similar problems and they happened when things got heavy as well. just an issue with the drivers I'd say. [06:26] MilitantPotato: Ok, I would agree. Is there a config file in the directory? [06:26] n2diy: nope [06:27] MilitantPotato: A readme? [06:27] pkh: you haven't had any luck fixing them? I had this problem in Gentoo, but replacing/upgrading the firmware fixed it, so I know it can be fixed [06:27] Hey I have a mate wanting to boot a ubuntu livecd and test it out. Is a 1.6 ghz cpu and 512 mb ram enough? [06:27] n2diy: nope [06:27] ddalton: yes [06:27] good [06:27] stick-guy, haven't looked into it -- it's only me f.g.'s laptop and only used for basic stuff -- only had problems while restoring all her files... [06:28] hm [06:28] MilitantPotato, what are you trying to do? [06:28] amarok amarokapp amarokcollectionscanner amarok_daapserver.rb amarok_libvisual amarok_proxy.rb [06:28] i borked a remote system's fstab and now it mounts the root ro (although mount says its rw -wierd?) - 'mount -o remount,rw /' doesnt help. anyone know what i can do to fix? [06:28] MilitantPotato: A make? [06:28] pkh: find the path to an application, the command which did it for me. [06:28] chubby [06:28] n2diy: nah, it's already installed [06:29] i like my IRC client, its written in WTL :) [06:29] MilitantPotato: have you tried running in a terminal? [06:29] im on windows of course [06:29] wtlconfusesme: must be confusing. [06:29] n2diy: yes, it works, I just needed the path :) [06:30] anyone in here use parallels to run ubuntu in a vm for development? [06:30] lol yep, second time i use IRC in my life, and WTL poping windows framework is very buggy [06:30] and IRC is confusing too [06:30] docking* [06:30] MilitantPotato: ??????????? Hmmmmm, thinking. [06:31] wtlconfusesme: IRC is pretty confusing, I called hassled for calling a channel a room. [06:31] I got hassled* [06:31] Is there a command to determine what video driver X is currently using? [06:31] i am used to yahoo chat. i call these, chat roooms too [06:32] in frostwire where ll incomplete fill store? [06:32] n2diy: typing which amarok did it for me :) [06:33] * wtlconfusesme tests irc [06:33] MilitantPotato: ok, does ls /proc/amarok tell you that too? [06:33] how do you open a file and not run the risk of breaking it from an accidental editing? [06:34] make it read only? [06:34] it you only want to see it, just cat [06:34] ls: /proc/amarok: No such file or directory [06:34] levander: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:34] look for... [06:34] pkh:in frostwire where ll incomplete fill store? [06:35] hey. how do i turn on the cool 3d cube rotation? [06:35] ganeshhegde, that made no sense at all [06:35] levander: Section "Device" then driver "driver.name" [06:35] i have comjpiz config manager installed... [06:36] Markov_: Enable desktop cube and rotate cube [06:36] wow im using a server named kubrick.freenode.net and i didnt know [06:36] how to make that windows blowing off option when we close them in compiz-fusion [06:36] hi [06:36] shishir: animation plugin [06:36] hwo to add [06:36] shishir: click it, then change the Close window effect [06:36] MilitantPotato: I tried that but it just flips from side to side w/o showing the entire cube. any idea how to get the "entire cube" view? [06:37] Markov_: Rotate cube. [06:37] Markov_, go to ccsm - rotate cube and adjust zoom [06:37] pkh:I mean while downloading something using frostwire only after full download it appears in destination location..but if i want to see preview where file ll be? [06:37] Markov_: ctrl+alt+mouse1 [06:38] ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop, which uses the GTK+ ( GTK+ 2 ) programming language for programming against its GUI . GTK stands for Gimp Toolkit [06:38] I'm not sure if that's the default though. [06:38] Chances are Markov_ you just dont have the zoom set at all [06:38] wo thanks militantpotato [06:38] :) [06:38] shishir: what are you using? [06:38] you're both right: zoom + ctrl alt click = what i want :) [06:38] thanks much! [06:39] np :) [06:39] i mean, GTK is not a programming lang of course, but a library [06:39] yah the default settings are kinda odd [06:39] Markov_: #compiz-fusion is a good channel for help with it [06:39] * wtlconfusesme talking to myself [06:40] roger that [06:40] compiz-fusion [06:40] wtlconfusesme: while downloading something using frostwire only after full download it appears in destination location..but if i want to see preview where file ll be? [06:41] shishir: driver wise I ment :) [06:41] gane, i have no idea what frostwire is [06:41] sorry [06:41] Markov__, shishir also check out the compiz-fusion wiki - lots of info there especially on each ccsm setting: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ [06:41] wtlconfusesme:k thanx..

[07:16] and along with that comes a whole bunch of packages you don't want [07:16] does it? [07:16] well, it doesn't force you, but did you? [07:16] i did, but it's because i like new stuff :) [07:16] hehe [07:16] have u been distro hopping yet? [07:17] or is ubuntu your first linux distro? [07:17] second, first was slackware [07:17] heh, nice start [07:17] how would i go about installing php [07:17] ? [07:17] lets see, i'v tried ubuntu, gentoo, arch linux, suse, fedora, slackware [07:17] uh.. [07:17] jschiff, i've used ubuntu, gentoo, slackware, redhat. ubuntu is by far the most maintainable thus far. [07:17] my favorite so far seems to be, arch linux [07:18] ubuntu annoys me, with it's similarity to windows [07:18] don't use gnome/kde? [07:18] well.. i do use kde now [07:18] any one know how to install php? :DF [07:18] apt-cache search php [07:19] find the package u need [07:19] apt-get install it [07:19] =] [07:19] lol [07:19] gone through em all basically [07:19] Cyber_Stalker, snyaptic package manager -> search -> "php" -> php 5 [07:19] ive never done this before and dont know anything about it [07:19] isn't it just php5? [07:20] my Movie Player is outputting the colors all wrong, but searching for "Movie Player" problems doesn't exatcly crop up a lot of relevant answers. [07:20] apt-get install php [07:20] php5 [07:20] * [07:20] szkud, what movie player u using? [07:20] server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2 module) [07:20] the Gnome movie player [07:20] totem? [07:20] I think it's totem [07:20] Please note that this package [07:20] ONLY works with Apache's prefork MPM, [07:20] hmmm [07:20] szkud do u have all the gstreamer codecs installed? [07:21] skin tones are blue and green :/ [07:21] I do. [07:21] szkud, personally i hate totem.. i would try mplayer [07:21] VLC outputs the colors right... but it's choppy and tears [07:21] szkud, are any other of your colors anywhere messed up? [07:21] ah ic.. [07:22] this may be a prob with your graphics card [07:22] nope. just in that player [07:22] what card u got? [07:22] php install going [07:22] lets hope [07:22] grats =p [07:22] hehe, u guys remind me of my ubuntu days =] [07:22] ATi Raedeon x1600 [07:22] which drivers do u have installed szkud?

[07:23] #ubuntu-th [07:23] try mplayer [07:23] and make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is set correctly [07:24] * neur1 is away: I'm busy [07:24] alright. I'm getting mplayer right now [07:24] does vlc tear the video in normal playback or only when you seek? === dragonfly is now known as Dragonfly [07:24] as far as i'v known.. i'v had no problems with vlc ever [07:24] ...whole lot of extra packages. hopefully that'll clean it up for everything [07:24] the latter is normal behavior for vlc, for me [07:25] ah i see.. [07:25] ever since i switched to Arch Linux, i have had absolutely zero problems [07:25] sound works, wireless card works, core dynamic click speeds work, everthing is fast, i love it =] [07:25] this is my first linux coming off of mostly mac os [07:26] szkud, ubuntu is a great place to start [07:26] but by no means, is ubuntu the ONLY distrobution out there [07:26] gutsy supported my wifi card, that not even madwifi or ndiswrapper supported [07:26] heh.. [07:26] yeah. I would like to get into rpm distros [07:26] the thing about ubuntu 7.10 that i don't like.. is that it's bloated [07:26] really really bloated [07:27] but not as bloated as openSuse or Fedora === Flynsarmy__ is now known as Flynsarmy [07:27] once I get to the point where I can not just 'use' but understand ubuntu I'll be going to openSuSE and CentOS [07:27] uh oh.. [07:28] i would "strongly" recommend against openSuse :p [07:28] for what issues? [07:28] there are many reasons.. 1 it's Very slow doing everything [07:28] 2.. it acts very much like windows and novell is now "allied" with microsoft [07:28] troll [07:28] so theres all these "advanced" tabs and such [07:29] 3. the package management is slow and not very configureable [07:29] :[ that's discouraging. [07:29] What is with those alliances? MS won't sue people who join up with them but what else does the deal involve? [07:29] fedora is slightly better than openSuse in my humble opinion [07:29] hey guys [07:29] can help me install the latest java runtine on my ubuntu gutsy? [07:30] SuSE is more of a server OS from what I'm told though. [07:30] heh [07:30] all my servers run debian [07:30] i just installed linux-source in gutsy and when extracting the .tar.bz2 i find the debian/ directory empty, shouldn't it contain the default ubuntu kernel configs etc.? [07:30] I think that I'm best off building a PC that will love on CentOS [07:30] I'v never tried CentOS so good luck, =]]] [07:30] gentoo is a fun expidition lol [07:31] MPlayer is acting the same way VLC was [07:31] really? [07:31] hmm then it's a problem with your graphics card driver [07:31] but it behaves properly in totem [07:31] save the colors [07:31] hmm.. that is strange [07:32] <[chr0n0s]> emaconline, use sudo apt-get install sun-java-jdk [07:32] guys isnt java included on the apt packages?

Just ask your question :) [07:51] 1. why can I not remove a usb HD or flash drive without getting a "unsafe removal " warning [07:52] If I downloaded a new theme in the format tar.gz, what do I do with it? [07:52] just ask your question [07:52] <[chr0n0s]> inversekinetix, unmount it [07:52] 1) becuase it's ubuntu [07:52] it's a FTP client [07:52] and ubuntu is drifting towards windows [07:52] inversekinetix: you need to stop/unmount it before removing it [07:52] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, untar it [07:52] inversekinetix: because it is unsafe. It isn't just an ubuntu thing, Windows says the same thing, but less bitchy. All you do is umount it first. [07:52] SuperQ: anyway, with (default Gutsy) laptop mode false all our company Dell Laittude D620 users are absolutely safe, can I trust my career on that? [07:52] [chr0n0s]: did, now what? I have a bunch of files (obviously) but I don't know what to do with them? [07:52] Gatestone: it's a complex subject [07:53] apt-rape [07:53] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, search for README or INSTALL file in that [07:53] none [07:53] Gatestone: I take it you read the slashdot linked article [07:53] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, then look for install docs on website, or you can try ./configure [07:53] SuperQ: so you are saying that even with no laptop mode there can still be a hard disk extra spin isssue? [07:54] Gatestone: the spin issue, really isn't an issue [07:54] dxdt: the error tells me to eject the device using the context sensitive menu. there is no 'eject' to choose so i choose unmount, the device is unmounted and when i pull the cord I get the "unsafe removal" warning anyway, it then refuses to mount any USB device [07:54] [chr0n0s]: ok, I see where you are going with this, but you are wrong, this is a theme, not a program that I'm going to be compiling using ./configure and make and such [07:54] Gatestone: that's the short answer [07:54] SuperQ, ok I'll go read it. [07:54] Gatestone: don't [07:54] the article was crap [07:54] inversekinetix: switch distros :) [07:54] I think you might have missed the first part of my question about it [07:54] !mysql [07:54] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:54] <[chr0n0s]> dxdt, theme import interface can import zipped files i guess [07:54] inversekinetix: right click on the icon on your desktop, there is no eject? [07:54] Gatestone: disk spindown is a complex issue, I wouldn't worry about it [07:54] SuperQ: So where do I get the exact answer, not the short one? [07:55] musikgoat: no eject [07:55] but not tar gz cause I tried that and it wasn't down. It didn't work :9 [07:55] Gatestone: there is no exact answer [07:55] just says "The file format is invalid" [07:55] when i was talking about PHP and MYsql some one COULD have just said install lamp [07:55] .... [07:55] SuperQ: My colleagues who depend on my support DO worry. [07:55] any ideas? no eject, only unmount [07:56] Gatestone: do you backup your laptops? [07:56] SuperQ: What no exact answer? You mean nobody knows the details? Huh? [07:56] inverse: unmount should work [07:56] <[chr0n0s]> inversekinetix, its the same [07:56] Gatestone: calm down =) [07:56] SuperQ: Weh [07:56] maybe the file is just corrupt? [07:56] Gatestone: no, I mean that you can't even trust hard drive manufacturing people to tell the truth about their products [07:56] chr0n0s i thought so but it still gives the unsafe removal warning [07:57] Gatestone: your colleagues should be more worried if you don't do backups [07:57] jschiff, i didnt find anything on google about the wireless =\ [07:57] SuperQ: We have two disks. One for Windows, strictly managed for 160 000 people. The other disk some people use for Ubuntu, not managed, everybody takes care of their own backups.. [07:57] rafael, what wireless? [07:57] Gatestone: that's RETARDED [07:57] jschiff, my wireless... that network interface configuring... [07:57] <[chr0n0s]> 160,000 ppl ! [07:57] anyways, that problem has remained unsolved for a week now [07:57] jschiff, i need to turn it off , and before login i turn on the wireless [07:58] rafael, are u on a laptop? [07:58] SiperQ: What do you mean, retarded to allow people to experiment with Ubuntu? [07:58] for the love of god, how do you compile a source package? [07:58] Gatestone: no, that you don't provide backup solutions [07:58] jschiff, yes [07:58] !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:58] problem number 2. how can I remove icons from the applications menu. edit menu does not work, [07:58] rafael, do u mean turn on the POWER to ur wireless card? [07:58] !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:58] Gatestone: are you talking about desktops or laptops? [07:58] jschiff, yes [07:58] rafael, o dear.. [07:59] !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:59] rafael, in fact i am having the same problem on arch linux =) [07:59] The machines are not even allowed on the corporate network while booted in Ubuntu. We have alternative networks, like this Wi-Fi connection I am using now. [07:59] rafael, i disabled eth0 from even loading [07:59] SuperQ: see above [07:59] jschiff, i know its possible to skip or disable that.. im not sure what i did before.. maybe something about the ipv6 ? no ? [07:59] rafael, but i do have to sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [07:59] and then [07:59] SuperQ: laptops [07:59] sudo dhcpcd wlan0 [07:59] anyone? [07:59] Gatestone: so use backuppc [07:59] SuperQ: laptops mostly [08:00] jschiff, i see. i comment # the wlan dhcp .. nothing happened here [08:00] Gatestone: can you point me to a specific ubuntu bug number on launchpad? [08:00] Gatestone: I'm willing to help you research this a bit [08:00] greeting.... [08:00] rafael, it's timing out because it's not plugged in with a ethernet cable [08:00] eth0 is timing out [08:00] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/31/enabling-the-motion-sensor-on-the-macbook-for-physical-neverball/ <-- awesome [08:00] and wlan0 isn't getting activated [08:00] holaaa... gutsy is awesome !! [08:00] syc_: yep [08:00] syc_: i strongly disagree [08:00] jschiff, hm .. so how to fix ? [08:01] almost awesome [08:01] SuperQ: the Ubuntus are personal hopbbies and lab machines. It is perfectly ok for us that evrybody takes care of their own backups, we don't want to centralize that because the Linux machines are not even on the same networks. [08:01] rafael, i don't know =/ [08:01] has anyone started lookiing into the hardware specs and future ubuntu support for the asus eee 4g or 8g? [08:01] jschiff, too bad [08:01] Gatestone: ok [08:01] i keep getting this error when trying to install mysql: please see http://rafb.net/p/yhC8Z866.html [08:01] But we don't want to wear the hardware [08:01] rafael: distro hop, :) [08:01] Gatestone: So what's the problem? [08:01] jschiff: why dude ?? [08:01] does anyone know a good app to ghost an ntfs drive?> [08:01] SuperQ: But we don't want to wear the hardware [08:01] Gatestone: I consider it a non-issue [08:01] syc_: such a bloated distrobution [08:01] syc_: windows like behavior [08:02] SuperQ: but I need deytailefacts [08:02] Gatestone: can you give me an example disk part number? [08:02] SuperQ: but I need detailed facts, not an IRC opinion [08:02] O_o! [08:02] syc_: "it just works" sounds a lot like "plug and pray" [08:02] Gatestone: ok, sure, let's do it [08:02] which is microsofts motto [08:02] and we all know microsoft is the devil [08:03] jschiff: hmmm [08:03] Gatestone: #1: I need a specific bug number, not a vauge "ubuntu spins disks too much" [08:03] could some body assist me with my mysql installation error :( http://rafb.net/p/yhC8Z866.html [08:03] syc_: on the other hand there is gentoo [08:03] hello [08:03] :) [08:03] syc_: which i don't like either because it's not easy to maintain [08:03] Gatestone: #2: I need to know exactly what disks you think are affected [08:03] I have problems upgrading to gutsy [08:03] syc_: a rather nice in between distro, that is still binary based, but you can compile still, is arch linux [08:03] Gatestone: Then we can lookup the spin up/down MTBF ratings for the disks [08:03] gentoo, ?? [08:03] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [08:03] 4 packages including kdelibs-data is unauthenticated. [08:04] can anybody help me?

[08:08] Gatestone: ok [08:08] *yet [08:09] q6660 [08:09] the trouble with ubuntu is that it works so well and so easily that I never have any problems and so I can't really learn anything.

[08:10] Gatestone: to get the model information, you can simply get it from the kernel [08:10] I see it mentioned here and there. Don't know if that is deprecated or what [08:10] zalman cnps 9500 [08:10] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lalala [08:10] and yous??

[08:31] back when i was using ubuntu *shudders* [08:31] brade1: ubotu is a bot, he cant "chat" he can just provide responses, but i wouldnt look into that channel, use the forums search feature with some of the error you get when dbl clicking the sound icon and see what you get [08:31] i still have use the cube frequently [08:31] u don't need the cube, to have multiple desktops [08:31] is anyone familiar with mame? [08:31] I use the expose clone function (Scale is it called?) like every few seconds. It rocks hard [08:32] jschiff: i do :-) [08:32] how do you tell a exe to run on a specific core? [08:32] past that I guess I don't use much. I have wobbly windows on cause it makes me smile when they wobble a lot. Sometimes I just sit and wobble them [08:32] musikgoat: ur cpu hates u [08:32] I knwo it is not necessary but just makes it easier to look at. [08:32] Cyber_Stalker> so i have to look around in the ubuntu forums for the issue i have [08:32] rite?? [08:32] jschiff: yes it does [08:32] u'll get over it someday [08:32] * dxdt wobbles his IRC window [08:32] dxdt: heh [08:32] when u get all obsessed with speed like me =) [08:33] jschiff: you mean cpu use with COmpiz-fusion or? [08:33] i can see that from other machines [08:33] unreliability [08:33] hey hey [08:33] but i will always keep one with the eyecandy [08:33] turn down the friction to 0.1 [08:33] yes brade1 but use the search feature combined with your error and your well on your way to fixing your issue, you could also try #alsa BUT last time i was there support took forever [08:33] and see what happens =] [08:33] cause mine never goes above like 20% and even the 20% is when I'm really stressing it like cube spinning while playing movies on edges and wobbling windows and such. Most the time it stays really low. [08:33] forget it then [08:33] hey what's the "best" way to securely talk to a daemon? like would a fifo owned by root that only root could write to be appropriate? or what? [08:33] MilitantPotato, you can get an executable to run on a specific core using taskset [08:34] Cyber-Stalker> ok thanks [08:34] cpu goes to 20% when turning cube? === Punker is now known as Lolaeilo [08:34] rofl [08:34] Cyber-Stalker> what shuld i type in? [08:34] that's really bad [08:34] lightstar: ty [08:34] Can someone help me ? [08:34] Cyber - Stalker>the exact words of the issue or something else? [08:34] !ask | Loleailo [08:34] Loleailo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:34] MilitantPotato, np...you might have to install schedutils first though [08:35] jschiff: mine does for a split sec, then hovers around 5-10 [08:35] brade1: [08:35] i just have a dual core 1.8s [08:35] inversekinetix: only when I'm like freaking it out. like spinning as fast as possible and back and forth and playing movies, etc. That is my point. Most of the time the CPU use with compiz-fusion is VERY low with gutsy. Unnoticeable even. [08:35] musikgoat: ouch.. [08:35] its a laptop [08:35] Cyber_Stalker> nothin came thru...delbritate? [08:35] lightstar: doing it as ya typed :) [08:35] hi all [08:35] brade1: the error you get when dbl clicking the speaker icon. some shiznit about GStream n stuff just use some of that error msg [08:35] dxdt mine barely flutters [08:35] Cyber_Stalker> thanks [08:35] apt-get remove ubuntu [08:35] =] [08:35] !!!!!!!miguel wanted to marter. mcfarlane + KareN wanted to massacre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[08:36] inversekinetix: Again, it isn't a problem, the machine doesn't even lag, I just notice that the cpugraph I have open has spikes that go up to twenty sometimes. [08:36] lolaeilo: yes, use k3b or anything u want [08:36] MilitantPotato, :) [08:36] I don't use ubuntu, i use debian, but i wanted to know how ubuntu removes initial kernel messages (before usplash)... [08:36] k3b?? whats k3b jschiff ? [08:36] mty: good [08:36] some one knows? [08:36] Lolaeilo: not unless you have two drives. I don't think you can eject the LIveCD to stick in blank media [08:36] mty: try Arch linux =] [08:37] Lolaeilo: in fact just type cdrecord dev=0,0,0 image.iso [08:37] I used to run archlinux. Then I realized that i might as well just use gentoo if using arch. [08:37] dxdt: nope [08:37] dxdt: arch is binary based [08:37] jschiff: yep [08:37] I know [08:37] dxdt, that's not true. at least in arch you don't have to compile everything from source [08:37] I didn't it say it wasn't [08:38] lightstar: u don't have to in gentoo either [08:38] don't judge what u don't know [08:38] jschiff, sabayon? [08:38] lighstar: sabayon is just eyecandy and bloat [08:38] sabayon sucks [08:38] 3.8 gigs based on gentoo? that's bs [08:38] so nobody can answer my question? [08:38] jschiff, ahh...almost tried that out:P [08:38] lightstar: eww =] [08:39] mty: press alt-f2 [08:39] That in my terminal , isit jschiff ? [08:39] lightstar: taskset --cpu-list does nothing....? [08:39] is it* [08:39] Cyber_Stalker> error when i open dbl by clicking on the speaker icon is that good enough for the search? [08:39] Lolaeilo: yes [08:39] jschiff, pre-init kernel messages.... [08:39] mty: oh.. [08:39] jschiff, before usplash [08:39] mty: have no idea, i don't use usplash [08:39] ok , im newbie... im downloading from a webpage, not from p2p [08:39] jschiff, it doesn't matter [08:40] MilitantPotato, taskset -c program name [08:40] brade yes that should be fine [08:40] ok thanks [08:40] do you know what method ubuntu uses to elminate that messages? [08:40] mty: the microsoft-esque one [08:40] brade1: if you dont get results then try shortening the error msg, dont be as specific and you should get more results [08:40] 0 and 1 lightstar? [08:40] mty: i have no idea sorry [08:40] for cores [08:40] MilitantPotato, i believe its 1 or 2 [08:40] jschiff, Does ubuntu accepts. rar? [08:41] moral of the story!

[09:08] can anyone help me?? [09:08] Hi all [09:08] can anyone help me with IPTables? [09:08] Mohero, what kind of help? [09:09] I have a working IP Tables script, but like any FTP server, it gets alot of login failures, so I have a script to create the new rules for IPTables, but I can't find where Ubuntu stores the IPTables rules file [09:09] or how to restart IPTables after adding to the file. [09:09] first k8's are p4 in the intel line correct ? [09:09] I've used WebMin to setup IPTables in the first place [09:09] defrysk: hmm this is not solve my problem :( [09:09] Mohero, you're script can directly add the rules to iptables without restarting === zanimimotus is now known as animimotus [09:10] wado, too bad :( [09:10] ok lightstar, but where is the rules file? [09:10] Mohero, and you usually don't want to make it persistant always..those IPs could be dynamic [09:10] Mohero freshmeat.org search for quicktables handy for a server [09:11] i know that, it just means I don't have to spend 2 hours of my day blocking requests. [09:12] Mohero, /etc/iptables.save i think [09:12] Mohero, look in /etc for a files that starts with iptables... [09:13] doesn't appear so, the server is running 6.06 at the moment, I have /etc/iptables.up.rules this is what webmin uses, then it posts it *somewhere* that IPTables knows about, but I have no idea where... [09:14] Hi All. [09:14] Mohero, it should be there...hang on..lemme check my webmin [09:14] Mohero, terminal, cd /' [09:14] Mohero, terminal, cd / [09:14] Any one here who knows howto configure apcupsd ? [09:14] Mohero you are not thinking of the actual routing tables are you ? that's in ram. part of the kernel iptables -L will show it. [09:14] Hello, I installed Ubuntu on my machine, and it ran very lagged. [09:15] Mohero, find / -name iptables.up.rules [09:15] hi all [09:15] Agent_bob: Know any reason why both cores wouldn't be used at the same time? [09:15] Worse than any windows [09:15] make that sudo find / -name iptables.up.rules [09:15] Agent_bob: the cores trade off being at 100% load, it looks like a double helix in system monitor [09:15] Is Xubuntu worth a try? [09:15] HehawOK: it's not bad. [09:15] anyone who know apcupsd [09:16] JimmyDee I only have that file in /etc/iptables.up.rules but when I modify this file it doesn't go into IPTables [09:16] MilitantPotato no sorry. i don't have a dual core box to play with so i have never tried to learn that. [09:16] Webmin appears to use that file to *play* with before it commits it [09:16] MilitantPotato: I am on a p2 450 MHz, 10 gb internal, 320 MB of RAM, Voodoo3 3dfx 8MB [09:16] Mohero, I'm sorry I use guarddog for my ip tables stuff [09:16] Mohero, you have to load it again using iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules [09:16] APCUPSD anyone :( [09:16] HehawOK: it's alot easier on the recourses [09:17] MilitantPotato: I blame it on the effects I couldn't turn off [09:17] HehawOK: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [09:17] HehawOK you have me beet by 100mhz >:] [09:17] "couldn't turn off"? [09:17] crdlb: Yes, that window, in to window, in to window, then minumized/closed [09:17] Silly crap [09:18] what kind of effects? [09:18] that [09:18] And God forbid when I started using alt + tab [09:18] Mohero, have you tried guarddog, its fairly simple [09:18] And changing IM windows [09:18] etc [09:19] how can I run gparted from terminal [09:19] kind of a strange firefox question - i'm in japan and so google searches and many websites default to the japanese sites. i can tell google preferences to only search for pages in english, but it never saves the preference - have to do it every time. any way to fix this? [09:19] Lolaeilo, ummmm type gparted? [09:19] Anyone hear of the "skedoodle" virii inclements? [09:19] HehawOK: http://static.flickr.com/98/251075270_1efc91e265.jpg it looked like that? [09:19] I've got a WMA file, but when I play it, Ubuntu says "This file is encrypted and cannot be played." What should I do? [09:19] Lolaeilo, add sudo in front of that command [09:19] yeah sudo gparted [09:20] Lobinho: is there anything helpful in "about:config"? [09:20] crdlb: No, I am talking about the silly animations when you minumized/closed programs [09:20] or windows [09:20] about:config = disable/default plugin handling [09:20] But in gerneral [09:20] JimmieDee that's not the issue, the issue is purely loading the file using iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules seems to work appart from it craps out on line 2 which is "*nat" I'm guessing this is something that WebMin has added in, there's also "*mangle" and "*filter" anyone know what they do? [09:20] Would Xubuntu be worth trying ? [09:20] IanLiu, you might want to add medibuntu repo then get w32codecs along with gstreamer0.10-* (if your on broadband) unless its DRM protected then i dont know what will allow playing it [09:20] Or should I scrap it [09:21] Or Xfce [09:21] gordonjcp: umm, sorry kind of a beginner. where would i find about:config? [09:21] well bad news is webmin is !supported [09:21] Lobinho: type it into the address bar [09:21] it does bad things to config files [09:21] HehawOK: you're not being very clear, but it sounds like compiz is running, did you check: system>preferences>appearance>visual effects ? [09:21] HehawOK, xubuntu uses XFCE [09:21] Hmm, I think when I copied from CD, I told windows to protect it. I will copy directly with ubuntu, thanks! [09:22] No. I got too tired of it, and put in XP. Now I remember why I wanted to change in the first place. [09:22] lobinho, mozilla.org>com has info. [09:22] any gutsy user here ? [09:22] OpenGuru, guilty [09:22] All these damn AV, spyware , blah blah lagging me down again [09:22] I need the /etc/init.d/halt file of gutsy gibbon [09:22] JummieDee I didn't ask about if Webmin was supported I know it isn't, I only asked about the IPTables rules file [09:22] simple, use gedit. Halt is a command. [09:22] does anyone even use webmin any more? [09:23] Mohero, what I'm saying is theres no telling what in blazes webmin has done to your files [09:23] dburnett77, i have screwed up halt with out taking backup. so i need a fresh copy of it [09:23] i have updated to 7.10 and have now got a wlan0:ava added to my network conection how do i disable wlan0:ava ??? [09:23] gordonjcp, guilty...except i don't rely on it for the firewall rules [09:23] It's intrinsic to the kernel, fresh compile should get the links re-established. [09:24] But in general , I liked the look of Xfce better than Gnome. So here I am back in windows, wondering if it's worth a try to go back to a linux version? After having the lag of my life [09:24] OpenGuru, my /etc/init.d/halt is right here http://pastebin.ca/757398 [09:24] Mohero, all I can tell you is how I do it, and thats install guarddog and let it put all the iptables files IN for me === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [09:24] jllj, Thank you very much. God bless you. :) [09:25] then you can diddle them till you lock yourself out as far as I'm concerned [09:25] uh ! i can't believe how awful ubiquity is.... [09:25] gordonjcp: there are a lot of values - i dont know what to look for [09:25] Hi. I have a daemon that has a proper start|stop|restart script in /etc/init.d/. How can I set that daemon to start on machine bootup and stop on machine shutdown *the proper ubuntu way* [09:25] jllj, are u using APC ups ? Whether you have installed apcupsd ? [09:26] OpenGuru, i'm using UPS but its not connected to the computer at all [09:26] tuna, you need to register to start at the begining [09:26] openguru: how? [09:27] OpenGuru, i'm not using apcupsd [09:27] all the howtos I have found were outdated or broken [09:27] Lobinho: neither do I, but it seems like a good place to look [09:27] jllj, ok. Thanks [09:28] gordonjcp: ok, thanks for the suggestion- will look around some more [09:28] tuna, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [09:28] thank you very much [09:28] In ubuntu Iam sharing a directory with Windows XP, how do I have it NOT ask for a user/password?

[09:47] :\ maybe i should try another dns-server [09:48] Cristinri, i had that to, the problem seemed to come from compiz-fusion [09:48] <[chr0n0s]> are there any free dns servers ? [09:48] stefano_: It's probably not your DNS server, but you can try these too: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 [09:48] yes [09:48] [chr0n0s]: Yes. [09:48] <[chr0n0s]> i heard there are some google servers [09:48] Those are opendns servers. [09:48] jburd, thank you but i'm located in germany, so us servers would be slow [09:48] <[chr0n0s]> k [09:48] stefano_: Use a DNS cache. [09:48] Stefano_ is there any way to fix that [09:49] hello.. can anybody help me with mounting a network drive? i get this error: error: unable to open credentials file!" [09:49] jburd, could you resolv the ip of the website and give it to me, so that i can check if it's really a dns problem? [09:49] Yes. [09:49] i mean i love compiz-fusion and i dont overly use it but i do have a lot of the stuff to make my desktop pretty clicked [09:49] Name: www.pokertube.org [09:49] Address: 81.201.219.71 [09:50] jburd, mh that's strange, it doesnt open [09:50] stefano_: Are you using a proxy server? [09:50] no [09:50] stefano_: They must have issued an ip range block. [09:50] jburd: It opens for me [09:51] shadowzzz: As does for me. [09:51] providers in germany sometimes ban websites because they violate some legal terms, but normally those are only adult websites, and pokertube isn't an adult website at all. [09:51] Some Websites have country-based bans. [09:51] oh wait, [09:51] it opens well under windows [09:51] on the same machine [09:51] Ah. Back to "have you tried another browser?" [09:52] with the same version of firefox [09:52] i'm going to try opera quickly, be right back with status report :> [09:52] stefano_: Clear the firefox cache and retry. [09:54] How can i force my DHCP to assign a static IP to a certain host ? ?? [09:54] i am using dhcp3-server [09:55] Hello all. I lowered my resolution to record a screencast and now it won't stay at high res after I've switched back. The login screen is at the correct res, though, so I'm guessing it's a user pref or something. Any ideas? [09:55] what's the ubuntu way of making automatic unattended installs?

[09:57] yes [09:57] so it looks like vista [09:57] inversekinetix: You can't display Microsoft Windows themes on Linux. [09:57] why do i always get this message "mount wrong fs type, ...., aren't you trying to mount an extend partition inside?" when trying to double click on a drive? And, weird, for some reason, there's a "1.0 KB Volume" inside "Computer" though i don't think i ever had a 1.0 KB partition. When i double-click on it, the above message appears. What should i do? [09:58] inversekinetix: Do you wish to make GNOME look like Vista? (Why would anybody do that?) [09:58] inversekinetix: there are many themes for linux, and i believe some replicate windows look, try searching google [09:58] inversekinetix: ubuntu can't use windows themes, there are meatcity themes that can try to look like windows, but wont be exactly like windows [09:58] whats meatcity? [09:58] yeah [09:58] What uses port 587. [09:59] is it like turkeytown?

[10:01] arnath: you can make automatic installations (what I've been looking into) but don't try to just copy / over, it wont work [10:01] Nallep: wherein exactly would lie the problem if i simply copy it? hardware drivers? [10:01] hey....I have just upgraded to 64-bit Ubuntu and can't find the "Restricted extras" in the "Other" under "Add/Remove" [10:01] where did it run off to? [10:01] TIA [10:01] hello [10:01] arnath only things i would caution you about are don't try to copy /proc or /sys and use something that will preserve permissions and symlinks === joerlend is now known as XiXaQ [10:02] whats the difference between the 32 bit and the 64 bit [10:02] Agent_bob: the rest should work? [10:02] im sorry for asking dumb questions [10:02] Cristinri, the 64-bit fully utilizes a 64-bit processor [10:02] Cristinri, while a 32-bit is more solid, but only uses the potential of a 32-bit processor [10:02] so i should switch then huh [10:02] and thus is less powerful [10:02] oh i c [10:03] Cristinri, No, there aren't real advantages of the 64bit Version for normal users. [10:03] Cristinri, only if you HAVE a 64-bit processor =), and are not afraid of possibly dealing with a few minor issues, like some goofiness with Flash and Java [10:03] arnath: there's lots of configuration problems that you'll run into, I tried doing that on some test systems recently to see if it would work, and it doesn't work too well, your better off loking into using the packagemanager to create a automatic install [10:03] Cristinri: i wouldn't advise using 64 bit yet [10:03] arnath yeah i clone systems all the time. oh one other thing if the fs is not in the same location (hda6 for example) then you will have to adjust fstab and menu.lst accordingly [10:03] ok ill stick to the 32 bit [10:03] cause i did install the 64 bit and couldnt do too much [10:03] with the JAVA and what not [10:04] arnath / nbkr: do you know the solution to my problem, by chance? I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that I'm on 64-bit now [10:04] hi... when installing/removing packages... the processes "Reading Database" and "running ldconfig" take an awful lot of time... is there some way to improve the performance of the package manager? is this some kind of fragmentation problem? [10:04] humblerodent, What is you problem. I joined just recently. [10:04] humblerodent: i've never actually used the 64 bit one, i've just heard a lot of people having problems with it :p [10:04] arnath / nbkr: but I enabled all the repositories, updated the lists, and can't find it [10:04] umm i also have the problem of ubuntu freezing on me, anyone have any clues on why that might be? [10:04] nbkr: oh sorry, problem is this: [10:04] hey....I have just upgraded to 64-bit Ubuntu and can't find the "Restricted extras" in the "Other" under "Add/Remove" [10:05] where did it run off to? [10:05] If I compile a new kernel (2.6.23) on my ubuntu machine and use it to boot ubuntu, will it break? [10:05] jburd, i installed opera, it doesnt open the site either :( [10:05] Is the restricted repository activeted in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [10:05] hello everybody! Is compiz a little bit inestable still in general or does it depend in which hardware you are using it? (I had not problem when used on an Intel card, but with the Nvidia update it works nicely, but it's not as tsbale...) [10:06] nbkr: yes, everything but backports that is [10:06] hubuntu: it's been stable for me eversince beta ended [10:06] jburd, i also changed the dns servers, still. [10:06] arnath: are you using a nvidia card? [10:06] hubuntu: yes 8600gts [10:06] hubuntu, Compiz seems stable but still buggy as not perfect....it will cause tearing of video watching, for example, in my experience [10:07] (i hva e an older on Gforce4 440 GO) [10:07] is it normal to be getting speeds of 500 BYTES a second on 56k? [10:07] hubuntu: not sure, but it should work, but you could always turn it off if its too buggy [10:07] humblerodent, What does apt-get update produce then? Any errormessages? [10:08] arnath: video watching is not a problem... I installed the GL destop extra feature (as the built in defaults in gutsy are cool, but I like tweaking myself) and this seems to be the reason... [10:08] nbkr, nope, all good and everything is fully updated. [10:08] Hello! I have a pamphlet due in about 3 hours, and I haven't even started yet... I'm in OpenOffice, and I have to "rotate" the page 90 degrees. How do I do this? [10:08] arnath: I just reacted to the fact that it was working flawlessly with the intel card... [10:09] alecwh, such a slacker :P [10:09] hubuntu: don't know what to tell you m8 :p works here :) [10:09] Has gutsy become a little bit heavier to run? I noticed a big change from feisty... [10:09] humblerodent: It's 4 AM. I got up early to do it. >_> [10:09] alecwh, Format -> Pagesettings -> Landscape [10:10] humblerodent, Then it is maybe just a problem with the gui. Try to install whatever you want via apt-get install on console. [10:10] I mean the GUI part (GNOME takes ages after log-in), upstart & usplash still in good shape... [10:11] nbkr: I don't see pagesetting [10:11] nbkr, yeah, that obvious thought occurred to me just now =) I feel like a n00b :P [10:11] nbkr, works there lol [10:11] nbkr, wonder what's wrong with the GUI [10:11] yow all, I installed yesterday ubuntu 6.06, but apperently it is better to install 7.10. However, I am experiencing some problems now witht he boot disk of 7.10 . I burned one myself. With some tweaks I am able to get the basic screen where i can choose to install, check the CD for errors etc. However, if I choose install, it finally gives a black screen with white letters only, where the... [10:11] ...only thing I can do is typing some apperently linux commands, which are totally not clear to me... [10:11] alecwh, Maybe its labeled different in english. I have only the german version here. Its the 5 item from the top in the "Format" menu. [10:12] could anyone help me how I can move on from that screen? === b4d_ is now known as b4d [10:13] effeietsanders, did you get any error messages or anything? [10:13] nbkr, I did that, and it took me to a popup screen. I went to Page, and then Orientation, switched to Landscape. It doesn't seem... right... though. [10:13] humblerodent: no [10:13] It looks too squareish, not like a piece of paper. [10:13] It doesn't look flipped [10:13] transformed. [10:13] effeietsanders, odd, sounds like it just took you to a shell [10:13] =S [10:13] alecwh, it's flipped. [10:14] alecwh, optical illusion probably =) maybe having to do with the shape of it in relation to your monitor screen ;) [10:14] alecwh, Try the print preview - it should look more flipped there. [10:14] effeietsanders i guess you didn't tweek it correctly befor you burned it... [10:14] it was starting the linux kernal, got a graphic blue bar indicating progress, then it went to an organge indicator, for a while, trying to read my floppy disk, and then it came there [10:14] not really nbkr... [10:14] Agent_bob: i downloaded it from the ubuntu website, and installed it with an iso buner or so [10:14] Can I install Windows XP over my Current Ubuntu install and keep my Ubuntu working? (Dual boot ?) Ubuntu is installed on my Sata drive which is sda I think and I would like to install Windows on my IDE which is hdb. [10:15] (burned in windows XP) [10:15] alecwh, Pageformat is letter or A4? Then it is flipped. Try printing one page. [10:15] is there a manual how to proceed if you came in that shell? [10:15] nbkr: I don't have a printer. It's at my school. :P I'll export to PDF [10:16] hallo [10:16] Biju, it is possible but you have to reinstall grub again and configure it to have windows and ubuntu in the menu [10:16] alecwh, Being at school at 4 am - thats horrable. [10:16] hi to all.I need to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop.I have 7.04 burned on cd.Is it better to install directly 7.10,install 7.04 and upgrade to 7.10 or it's the same ? thanks [10:16] I need help [10:16] nbkr, I'm at my home right now. >_> [10:16] knoppix_odin, Just ask your question. [10:17] can you help me on gremany [10:17] eljak, Is the command grub-install /dev/sda from the live cd? [10:17] I burned one myself. With some tweaks I am able to get the... <<< if you altered the install cd then it's your software, not ubuntu's [10:17] alecwh, So the printer is in school. Thats ok then :-) [10:17] i did not alter the cd [10:17] pippi\: I would recommend 7.10 [10:17] knoppix_odin, Es gibt einen deutschsprachigen Ubuntu Channel: #ubuntu-de [10:17] i mean i had to press F12 etc [10:17] ich brauche hilfe [10:17] In synaptic, what is Installed (Auto-removeable) mean? [10:17] sorry for the wrong temrinology [10:18] sander,thanks,do you mean to burn a new 7.10 iso and install it ? [10:18] there is no way that's right, [10:18] i must be doing it wrong [10:18] effeietsanders ok. sorry for not being able to stand under you, english is hard language. no?

[10:23] I use a4 over here (the netherlands) [10:23] novato_br my internet connection is dialup [10:23] Agent_bob, i'm so sorry. [10:23] alecwh, Well, for most printers is a bit difficult. Most printers in Europe use A4 Paper. Most printers in the USA use Letter-Format I think. [10:23] letter [10:23] yes [10:23] letter [10:23] Agent_bob, it's sad. === ce_virgo is now known as Guest07424 [10:23] where are you from, Agent_bob ?

[10:25] nbkr [10:26] sander_: It was what was suggested by humblerodent [10:26] calvary, Yes unfortunately there is more then one standard. But you shouldn't have to change the page size to a4 every time, just once and everything should be fine. Maybe its a bug if you have to change it always. I had some similar problems with ubuntu 6.10 [10:26] hi guys [10:26] sander_: during installation, i get into a black screen with white letters, where is suggested that i can get the commands by typing "help" [10:26] why if i'm pressing CTRL+X and later CTRL+V buttons it is copy&paste icons and not cut&paste ? (kub-7.04) [10:26] i would like to script my consoles to up multiple windows, and cd into multiple directories. does anyone know how this can be done? [10:27] i'm using gnome terminal [10:27] up = open up [10:27] nbkr: did you get the pdf? [10:28] I wanted to ask about softwate. On windows I use a program called URL snooper that tells me exactly what is going through my computer. When I looked at my repository it has so many alternatives that I don't know which is the best sniffer. Rather than try them all and see (I'm tight for HD space) I wanted a recommendation. [10:28] wackimonki: you could investigate screen, a console-based multiplexor for terminals. [10:28] nbkr: actually it's mainly on winodws that problem occurs for me. On this system it was set correctly at the installation [10:28] I presumed that happened when I chose the UK kb layout [10:29] I need to download some Ubuntu-Packages (for Gutsy Gibbon) form a NON-Ubuntu PC (fedora) is there any Webfrontend for the Ubuntu-repositories? [10:29] arg! [10:29] achadwick, i like tabbing in gnome terminal and would like to stick to it. i should check out their website actually [10:29] achadwick you like screen ? [10:29] Another possibility is powershell. Agent_bob: love it. [10:30] Or multi-gnome-terminal. [10:30] I need to download some Ubuntu-Packages (for Gutsy Gibbon) form a NON-Ubuntu PC (fedora) is there any Webfrontend for the Ubuntu-repositories? [10:31] I've just realised I'm in the wrong channel (I'm using Debian) Mind you a lot of the recommendations will work anyway. It seems to me that Debian works much like Ubuntu - it's just smaller. [10:31] hi. i want to change default yucky brown colored screen that shows after I login, until the desktop loads. i set it to black in gdmsetup, and also set the color behind the wallpaper, anyone know where to change this screen? [10:31] MSchoenitzer: packages.ubuntu.com [10:31] i need to get mame working , anyone use it? [10:31] alecwh, Yes, I did.

[10:32] Tomcat_: wow - Thanks a lot! [10:32] inversekinetix: what problems are you seeing? [10:32] thanks achadwick but that gdmsetup and i set it black there, this setting is somewhere else i guess [10:32] that is* [10:32] unique, You'll need the correct codecs installed, the correct browser plugins and the page doesn't have to use drm. [10:32] achadwick: most of the games wont work [10:32] I'll have to look at where I saw it sharkp - you mean Deb Etch don't you? [10:33] I did hear there are probls with the newer systems Lenny isn't it? [10:33] Hang on I'll look [10:33] Hi all! I have a problem since I installed 7.10. Actually, even when I simply boot the installer CD-ROM, the background is all 1280x1024, but the bottom bar (with the trash and virtual displays etc) are halfway up the screen. I think X sees this as 128x1024 (correct) but something else sees this as a 1024x768 screen. In previous versions it worked fine. I tried both ubuntu as well as kubuntu. Same problem. Any ideas? [10:33] inversekinetix: you need the ROM files. Ubuntu can't distribute those. [10:33] nbkr. ok, I'll have to deal with it, I SWEAR it's messed up though. >_> [10:34] URG! Desktop Publishing sucks with linux [10:34] Anyone know why my xorg.conf is being overwritten on reboot? [10:34] mbkr, for firefox were i can find the codec? [10:34] achadwick: i have ALL the roms 1.20u1 its the mame sdl that is old, i need to use sdl 1.20, i managed to get it installed but i need a front end for it === tommy is now known as TomB__ === TomB__ is now known as TomB_ [10:35] hi [10:35] hi there [10:35] Ah you might not like them nbkr they seem to be KDE dependent [10:35] unique, Firefox doesn't need that codec. Its the plugin that needs the codec. So it depends on the plugin you're using (and the codec of course). [10:36] Looking now there is kwlan and wpagui [10:36] I have a latop that I use as a desktop. The screen is broken on it, so I attached a monitor to it as the primary (only) display. [10:36] But even the second one seems to need lots of KDE libraries [10:36] calvary, Pardon, I didn't get the meaning of: Ah you might not like them nbkr they seem to be KDE dependent [10:36] inversekinetix: I ended up rolling my own that shoves icons into the GNOME games menu. That's really all the frontend you need, but I also gave gnome-video-arcade a little try. Didn't work. [10:36] how can I get tracker to remove stuff it has indexed if I no longer want it to index those things? I have removed the folders that contain the indexed stuff from its search list, but it still displays things from there in the search results [10:37] hi. i want to change default yucky brown colored screen that shows after I login, until the desktop loads. i set it to black in gdmsetup, and also set the color behind the wallpaper, anyone know where to change this screen? [10:37] Well it's just I've noticed KDE libraries often seem to be very space comsuming [10:37] i don't have plugin for firefox how you can suggest to me [10:37] hi - i created a dummy user called guest with home folder (on my dedicated server) so that i can share a file with a friend via ftp. but if he logs into the guest account, he is able to read files outside of the guest directory, such as important config files with passwords and stuff [10:37] But I have very little space [10:37] is there an easy way to force the guest account to only be able to be in the guest folder during a ftp session? [10:37] I was being very subjective there :) [10:37] otherwise i have to go and remove read access on so many files... [10:37] achadwick: I have ALL the artwork for mame, i want to use it in a front end [10:37] Hi all,, does anyone know how i can specify a video output driver for totem, like under vlc i can select XV or X11 or OpenGL or whatever,, i want to set totem to use x11 so it'll play nicely with compiz [10:38] rg [10:38] Krohnen what driver ? [10:38] miss^l0t3k, i think it is called splash screen [10:38] hi! there any way to remove the icons of the mounted filesystems from the desktop? [10:39] It is an ATI-based laptop [10:39] qwerty just unmount them [10:39] so the standard ATI driver [10:39] qwerty121, restart a few times, they go away eventually :) bit of a weird bug though yeh, It's a bit annoying at times [10:39] witam [10:39] I can say kwlan worked fine on my Mandriva portable - that's the only experience I have of using it - sorry I haven't actally used it on a rellevant system - but I see no reason it shouldn't work on Etch [10:39] eljak, ok i disabled that splash screen thing somehow a while back, with the icon thingys that show one by one, but there is still the ugly brown background, any idea how 2 change it? [10:39] Krohnen might try vesa and see what it does. [10:39] i dont have a splash screen at startup anymore :( === Cyber_Studyin is now known as Cyber_Stalker [10:40] ive got that annoying bug that tunes "loading startup scripts" and it hangs [10:40] Krohnen if you use the propritary driver, then i sujest you consult the ati infonode [10:40] then you have to hit alt F1 for a prompt to log in [10:40] NET||abuse: your solution won't work for sure. :P [10:40] inversekinetix: I can't really recommend any because I don't use them. Assume you have sdlmame set up correctly with the right directory layout and a properly configured mamerc somewhere. Most frontends should pick up on that. Google, I suppose. [10:40] miss^l0t3k, change the login screen background, and then change your desktop background to that [10:41] kbrooks: any idea's on how to solve my issue? [10:41] miss^l0t3k, system > administration > login screen [10:41] achadwick: i dont know where it put the mame cfg file [10:41] kbrooks, huh? i did set it to black in gdmsetup but it shows a brown one in between login and the desktop loading [10:42] system>administration>login screen == gdmsetup [10:42] miss^l0t3k, really? cant help here [10:42] kbrooks, okey thanks 8-] [10:42] Hey, just installed 7.10 and looking good, but how do I tweak all the nice little things in Compiz (or wth it's called now) Can I activate the old interface somehow? [10:43] hairulfr, install the compiz config thingo [10:43] hairulfr, in the repos [10:43] miss^l0t3k: Thanks a bunch :) Almost cried when I saw the setup options Cheers miss^l0t3k [10:44] np [10:44] compiz-config-settings or something, no? [10:44] inversekinetix: the old xmame packaes used /etc/xmame/xmamerc and a local copy in your $HOME/.xmame/xmamerc . Assume sdlmame is something like that; that said, I get by with the Debian xmame-sdl packages. [10:44] miss^l0t3k, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [10:44] hey,how to usr "tar" command? [10:44] anyway, just dumped compiz [10:44] compizconfig-settings-manager hairulfr [10:44] fido man tar [10:44] thanks Bob [10:45] Hi all, why the image and the character on my desktop are not clear? [10:45] then when you can't understand that. ask in here. [10:45] achadwick: xmame is way outdated, i dont have enough space to move 80GB of roms to my linux drive, i need to modify the paths manually [10:45] Agent_bob: I can try VESA, but since I see this problem even when I boot it off the install-media, it doesn't seem to me to be a prop-driver issue. [10:46] Now I have a weird problem; when removing compiz/emerald Metacity won't load automatically when I login to Gnome [10:46] Kwin works ok in KDE [10:46] Krohnen ah yeah well, it's not the monitor is it ? have another monitor you can test ? [10:46] Also, X seems to work fine... I can move a window around one the whole desktop, but if I maximize it, for example -it will maximize to the 1024x768 top left part of the screen. [10:47] Agent_bob: Big brown background on the wole 1028x1024 screen. Monitor is all right. [10:47] inversekinetix: try looking in the files I mentioned, substituting "sdl" for "x". I'm assuming you're using something like http://wallyweek.altervista.org/ [10:48] Agent_bob: I think that 7.10 uses the resolution of the laptop-screen (1024x760) and applies it on the window-manager on the 1280x1024 external screen.. [10:48] One more: What's the name and placement of the conf file I need to edit to customize resolution? [10:48] How do you set evolution mail to port 587..there are no port settings. [10:48] inversekinetix: copy the master *mamerc to your home in the place where sdlmame expects it to be. Modify that copy with text editor. [10:49] hi [10:49] Radio1: Add ":587" to the host name. [10:49] ah..ok..t/y [10:49] i got this error pxe-E38 TFTP cannot open connection , what could be done to solve it ? [10:49] hello [10:49] can anybody help me?? i have a ati radeon mobility 9200, i can't use the advanced desktop effects [10:50] Krohnen if that was all it was then it would be a simple rezolution change. i.e. the monitor would be displaying in 1024x768 it sounds more like a vertual resolution issue check in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for a "vertual" setting [10:50] achadwick: thanks, i just tried modifying it but it tells me im not authorized to make changes to the file, Im getting tired of all this b.s [10:51] this is worse than vista, i have to enter passwords to do anything [10:51] cant modify any files in the file system [10:51] does evolution have an alarm clock? [10:51] omg, I'm amazed at how far everything has come! So structured and nice, kudos! [10:51] inversekinetix: you copied the file to your home, right? You can edit that. [10:52] inversekinetix: sudo / kdesu? [10:52] will that unlock my file system [10:52] when you install a package with apt-get where does it download the archive to? i would like to remove one of the archives downloaded and reinstall it [10:52] inversekinetix: NTFS? [10:52] no the file system that linux is on. ext-3 [10:52] Cyber_Stalker: You type uninstall instad, i guess [10:52] No, it just makes you wear a hat that lets you get things done for a bit. [10:53] i want to be able to modify my files without letting it me edit them and tell me when i try and save it that im not allowed to [10:53] no hairulfr uninstall does not remove the downloaded deb [10:53] inversekinetix: Which fiels are you on about? [10:53] inversekinetix: If you copied the file as root, it belongs to root. [10:53] inversekinetix: it's done that way for basic system security reasons. [10:53] SNy has spotted the flaw in my instructions :/ [10:54] You'd need to change ownership with 'sudo chown $user:$group $file' [10:54] Cyber_Stalker: Well think a bit then, man! It's simple, apt-get remove perhaps?? [10:54] Cyber_Stalker: :) [10:54] i dont want to go through that everytime I need to edit a file, how do i remove that restriction permanently [10:54] achadwick: I haven't even read your instructions. o.O [10:55] inversekinetix: You screwed up somewhere along the line, now ur paying for it, which files do you need to edit? [10:55] hairulfr: that still doesnt remove the deb [10:55] .......... [10:55] inversekinetix: you do not. unix is a multi.user system, and system files belong to root, not you [10:55] inversekinetix: dont copy files as root and you will be ok [10:56] Cyber_Stalker: Purge???? [10:56] the files were installed by synaptic [10:56] hmm [10:56] hi! after unintstalling programs from wine. the logo's and shortcuts are still there. how to remove them? [10:56] hairulfr: i dnt remember purge actually getting rid of it [10:56] i cannot edit any file that is in the file system [10:56] hi i am using ubuntu with gnome, is there a way to change the default file browser? [10:56] inversekinetix: wtf did you do? [10:57] staykovmarin: check out http://gnome-hacks.org [10:57] inversekinetix: ...but if you want to be sneaky and unsafe, might I suggest "sudo nautilus" (oh am i so gonna be whipped for this one) [10:57] lol tuna whats wrong with sudo nautilus? [10:57] nothing, i installed this OS and i cannot edit any files that are in the root directory, only things in my home folder and media drives [10:57] qwerty122: thank you, i will [10:57] inversekinetix: you fool thats because it belongs to root [10:57] not you [10:58] its ment to be like that [10:58] . [10:58] hi! after unintstalling programs from wine. the logo's and shortcuts are still there. how to remove them? [10:58] Is it possible to synch my Nokia 6681 with any program in Ubuntu gutsy as I did with outlook? [10:58] Cyber_Stalker: Try from synaptic, it has some options too [10:58] inversekinetix: that's kinda how it's supposed to be by default. It's called security [10:58] qwerty Ive been asking this question for a week, no one can answer [10:58] inversekinetix: That's why achadwick suggested you copy over the mamerc file to your home. [10:58] lol hairulfr tried that :D [10:58] tuna its called a pain in the ass, [10:58] Preferably in a way that it belongs to you. [10:58] inversekinetix: when you NEED to do it, run nautilus as sudo [10:58] inversekinetix: and what's that, btw? [10:59] inversekinetix: the same as mine? [10:59] Cyber_Stalker: apt-get remove xxx should do it, [10:59] SNy copy it over and then what, edit it and then copy it back to the folder it was in before? [10:59] inversekinetix: when all the executable programs are untouchable by the main user, stuff like email worms become pretty much impossible [10:59] No, leave it there. [10:59] Cyber_Stalker: If not --purge [10:59] hairulfr: nope when i reinstalled after that it doesnt download the package again :( [10:59] It will then be used instead of the master one. [10:59] That is the idea. [10:59] Cyber_Stalker: If not --pruge remove [10:59] Master config overridden by user config. [10:59] eish lol [10:59] That's how things work in unices. [11:00] purge remove looks nice hairulfr :D [11:00] Cyber_Stalker: Apt-get install reinstall then --purge? [11:00] so how will it find all the paths that were dependent on its original location? [11:00] hairulfr: i did a purge and then tried to install again earlyer [11:00] paths are irrelevent in linux? i can put a file anywhere and it will work? [11:00] inversekinetix: just to elaborate, nautilus is the file manager, if you launch that from terminal with "sudo nautilus", you getto edit files freely [11:00] You just copy the configuration file, not the program. [11:00] Does anyone Synch their Mobile Phones with Ubuntu Gutsy at all ? [11:01] Cyber_Stalker: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ? [11:01] so how will the program know to use the config file thats not in the location its supposed to be in? [11:01] inversekinetix: Huh? No. The user config file has a specific place, too, of course. [11:01] $HOME/$file. [11:01] hi everyone, I was having some probs yesterday and did a memory check using ubuntu's live cd and it threw up errors, just want to know whether this means my RAM is broken or what? My laptop's not even a year old yet so I should send it back in for guarantee.. can anyone help? [11:02] i dont understand what you mean [11:02] Where $file could be something like .bashrc or somesuch. === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [11:02] THe appropriate program will know that it should look in your $HOME first. [11:02] Only then will it attempt to use the master config in /etc or wherever. [11:02] inversekinetix: it's dead simple. a normal user should not do administrative tasks. that's what sudo (root privileges) are for. you only need root privs to change _system wide_ settings. per user settings (files and directories beginning with a "." in your home dir) can be changed without root privs of course. [11:02] HarleyQuine, i'd say run memtest once more to be sure, then send it back [11:02] hairulfr: have you installed mysql before? [11:03] hairulfr: i have an error for you, the one im trying to resolve [11:03] okey dokey.. so a healthy system would have 0 errors yeah? [11:03] does anybody know where to get the solution to the azureus (splash but instant crash) problem on gutsy? [11:03] HarleyQuine, yer [11:03] alright :) thanks a lot [11:03] hairulfr: http://rafb.net/p/jwT5RJ47.html <=== thats the error, if any one else has installed mysql before or could help with that error it would be appreciated [11:04] hey guys, when creating a new user from the console, is there anyway to jail them to the their home directory? [11:05] good morning everyone [11:05] I was reading this article " Ubuntu May Be Killing Your Laptop's Hard Drive" [11:05] i need to edit this file /etc/sdlmame/sdlmame.ini the executable is expecting to find the file in /etc/sdlmame if i put a modified copy elsewhere in my dir how will the execuatble know to use the modified file instead of the one its supposed to use? [11:05] http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258 [11:05] Agent_bob: I just booted it up with the Feisty Kubuntu install CD, and in Feisty all is okay. This is definately a bug with gutsy, then. I wonder if there is an open ticket for it... It's been screwed all since I upgraded from Feisty. I will look for the virtual-resolution stuff that you mentioned when I boot back into what's on the harddisk.. [11:06] any kind of problem for desktop hd also ? [11:06] how can i change the icon in the far left hand corner of my terminal? [11:06] inversekinetix: i guess sdlmame also looks for a per user config file in your home dir. but i don't know sdlmame, so i'm not 100% sure. [11:06] far top left, the little ubuntu icon, i would like to change it to an animated gif [11:07] !forums [11:07] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

[11:09] thank you Agent_bob =) [11:09] SNy i wanna use my computer, no study it [11:09] inversekinetix: it would be fine if you knew how to use it [11:09] inversekinetix: Well, you need to if you wanna use linux. [11:09] i was exactly the same as you when i started back in the day [11:09] so its not ready as a desktop then>? [11:10] At least a bit of knowledge is necessary. [11:10] no it is [11:10] its not noob friendly [11:10] i was expecting it to be usuable [11:10] it is usuable [11:10] Oh, it is. [11:10] inversekinetix that's right. it's not even close to ready for prime time.

[11:12] how do i remove all restrictions, do i have to log in as root? [11:12] Agent_bob: LOL [11:12] inversekinetix: sudo [11:13] that will remove all restrictions?

[11:15] mallep sure rc files all over the place... but no ini that i have ever seen [11:15] inversekinetix: we are here to help by our own will... being rude towards volunteers will get you no where [11:16] It offers me help, and tells me, ther i can type in live-expert, but it can't find it [11:16] i wasnt being rude [11:17] man, i cant even delete unwanted icons from the applications menu in this thing [11:17] cant remove usb drives without errors [11:17] inversekinetix short story is simply this. if the file isn't in your users home dir you will need permission to mess with it. that's one reason linux doesn't catch cold.

[11:28] is it possible that a running download is causing that problem in synaptic ? [11:28] callvote kiss achadwick [11:28] "oops" [11:28] ... [11:28] Ronin[]: Yes, but what is the problem and what are you downloading with? [11:29] Hi everyone :) ! What is the diference between normal kernel and a RealTime kernel in Ubuntu Gusty ? [11:29] ChanServ removes channel operator status from Pici << what does this mean? [11:29] i'm downloading 7.10 Live CD via Firefox [11:29] oh me. i've installed 6 OS's on this one box in the last 5 hours and have two to go... [11:30] my synaptic told me, that it could not download package-lists [11:30] chi11y: are you using kubuntu? In that case, you'll have to install some of the GNOME libs to get GLADE working. [11:30] おやすみ [11:30] actually, i just refreshed the source-lists via apt-get update [11:30] my wireless does not seem to want to obtain an IP automatically. It tries to, but fails to every time on any AP I've tried it with. How do I resolve this issue other then statically assigning it? [11:30] achadwick, I'm using server with only openbox [11:30] so it seams that the servers are running [11:30] but only the libs, you say? [11:30] Ronin[]: The other DL could be killing your connection [11:31] i wanted to reinstall eclipse / blender a few minutes ago, that was when it first told me the package could not be downloaded [11:31] ok, i'll wait until it's done [11:31] WirelessEuphoria, i found gnome network manager to be somewhat screwy with wifi, maybe try wicd idk [11:31] In theory, yes [11:31] WirelessEuphoria, first.. kill all the dhclients, then kill all pppd on your box ( if u dont need it) and then run again dhclient interface [11:31] Hi everyone :) !

[11:32] hi. Does the ubuntu-live cd (7,1) boot into the desktop?

[11:34] Ronin[]: are you using de.archive.ubuntu.com? [11:34] necrite_, how do i go about doing this? [11:34] no, getting a 404 - not found problem [11:35] Ronin[] pastebin your sources.list file and lets have a look. [11:35] kritztapf: yes [11:35] the de.archive.ubuntu.com mirror is empty atm, dont know why, but it is, i just removed the "de." part from my sources.list and updated, working ;) [11:36] chi11y: simply installing python-glade2 should sort out the dependencies for you. There shouldn't be any desktop magic like gdm in that bundle, but you might want to use apt-get rather than aptitude for server. [11:36] WirelessEuphoria, sudo killall dhclient; sudo killall dhclient; sudo killall pppd ; sudo killall pppd ; [11:36] :D [11:36] ok.... thanks ^^ it's been a while since i last editted the source.list, where is that file ? *g* [11:36] /etc/apt/sources.list [11:37] ... simply because aptitude tries to be smart and pulls in Recommends: stuff too.

Does anybody here know where Rhythmbox keeps its configurations? I've deleted ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox and, in fact, deleted everything I could find (using find | grep ) that has "rhythmbox", "xine" and "gstreamer" anywhere in my home directory tree -- yet whenever I fire up Rhythmbox, it's bringing with it a whole bunch of incorrect settings that it refuses to lose. Where is it getting these from? [12:20] ttmrichter_: have you checked in gconf? [12:21] i have a jumping cursor problem that i have to use my one line script for to keep it in check with synclient TouchpadOff=1 [12:21] very annouying [12:21] thanks sander_ [12:21] seems all distros have same mouse problems with this computer [12:22] Pici: I deleted *EVERYTHING* *EVERYWHERE* that had gstreamer, xine or rhythmbox in the file or directory name. Including under the .gconf tree. Still really bad luck at getting rid of the crap that rhythmbox has accumulated. [12:22] ttmrichter_: tried to search gconf? [12:22] sander_: I just suggested that ;) [12:22] sander_: search how? [12:22] ttmrichter_: using gconf-editor [12:23] sander_, - do you know how to configure it so it happens when I move my mouse to the edge of the screen (a corner) instead of on a button click? [12:24] nila: if you are using Gutsy, and have compizconfig-settings-manager you can set it up to use a mouse corner [12:24] have that and i'm in there [12:24] OK, gconf-editor returns lots of hits on rhythmbox -- but won't let me delete anything. What's the trick? === Cacheaway is now known as Cacher [12:25] got it :) [12:26] is there any way with a dual monitor setup in Gutsy to have a seperate wallpaper on each screen instead of one stretched between both? [12:27] Actually the gconf-editor thing doesn't contain the stuff that's giving me grief. Where does rhythmbox actually store its information? [12:28] does anyone know if there's a x64 dpkg with the e1000_ich9 driver floating around somewhere?

[12:55] i have a problem with installation of ubuntu 7.10 [12:55] jrib: ah, so I have to go back to compiz-fusion [12:55] I have another, but much older machine, with an older copy of ubuntu that works fine with these formats [12:55] secher: can you right click on the cd-rom icon and select "eject"? [12:55] kanzie: or use brightside [12:55] anyone help me ? [12:56] rkpisanu: best to just ask the channel your next question and see if anyone knows the answer [12:56] My OpenOffice crashes at nearly every opening of a dialog (e.g. print, table properties, export...) I tried reinstalling and it works if I _don't_ use the openoffice.org-gnome package, but if I use gnome integration it crashes. What should I do? [12:56] ok [12:56] jrib, yes but its annoyong to eject it like that every time.. I want a button that eject it.. and there is one, among my media keys === ubuntu is now known as huffdah [12:56] josh_: does it give you any helpful information? [12:56] the question is: when the cd ubuntu 7.10 start, it appear initfsram [12:57] jrib: never heard of it... is it stable [12:57] secher: go to system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts and see if you can set eject te that key [12:57] dont start [12:57] SeanTater: what do you mean 'mapping one out'? [12:57] jrib, cant assign the media keys using that.. [12:57] kanzie: worked fine when I tried it. It is your option if you do not want to use compiz-fusion [12:57] secher: what exactly happens when you try? [12:58] Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? [12:58] got a heck of a problem with ubuntu.... it starts get login everything appears normal and then it freezez.... cannot do anything than reboot the hard way [12:58] josh_: use something like -map 0.1:1.0 on ffmpeg and make the second output file /dev/null .. or anything to get to one audio track [12:58] jrib, nothing at all, i assign a new key for it but when i click the key i want to eject with nothing happens [12:58] secher: read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys then [12:59] how come that it takes over an hour for Amarok to scan a 500gb collection ? [12:59] thanks [12:59] anyone have an idea? [12:59] huffdah: Are you trying to login as root? [12:59] no just as user .. i dont use root [12:59] hi, i once set my http_proxy variable.... now how can i set it back to default (i guess it's '')? when i use unset http_proxy and open a new shell then it is set back again [12:59] tiddi: I don't think Amarok is made for a collection that size, but they are working on it I believe [12:59] you can disable that thing [13:00] Hello my Sound is not working can anybody help me instal my soundcard? [13:00] How do I list more info about ALL packages installed than just dpkg -l [13:00] any other player that supports a large collection? [13:00] Wespe: how did you set it? [13:00] tiddi: try setting it up with mysql. it's alot in my experience. [13:00] Especially, how do I list package sizes of all installed packages? [13:00] im using mysql [13:00] huffdah: can you login in the CLI (by pressing CTRL-ALT-F5) (you can get back to GUI by CTRL-ALT-F7) [13:00] not the sqllite [13:00] jrib, i think with set and/or export, altough i am not quite sure [13:01] Wespe: if that is what you did then all you need to do is open a new terminal [13:01] tiddi: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_HowTo [13:01] pray to god that some genious finds out of something that makes amarok faster in scanning [13:01] i can get Ubuntu startexd and login as normal but the comp freezes [13:01] tiddi: how many files does that come to (as 5000 at a time is about as good as they get I think) [13:01] jrib, when i open a new terminal then the variable is set.... [13:01] tiddi: it's a difficult problem [13:02] tiddi: how would *you* make it faster? [13:02] how many files there are in 500gb collection? [13:02] Wespe: then you need to find out how it is getting set. Did you edit any files? [13:02] Has anyone else had a problem with Evolution core dumping while trying to retrieve mail via IMAP with gmail? [13:02] tiddi: approximately [13:02] well im an idiot when it comes to programming, but there must be a way to make it work faster in scanning disks and media in general [13:03] SeanTater, wait a sec [13:03] Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? [13:03] anyone here use sshfs -- whenever I mount something over it the new mounted directory on the client has '?' for permissions and user:group and I can only view filenames/contents with root, but I still can't view content of files, any ideas? [13:03] Wespe: or did you use the system -> preferences -> network proxy ? [13:03] an hour for half a terabyte is not extreme [13:03] jrib, i am really not sure.... but if so then there has to be file with the content 'http_proxy' in my home folder? [13:03] tiddi: I use mpd because it's usually more stable, and I think it will do 35,000+ tracks [13:03] omg.. what does a n00b do now... lol [13:04] n00b ------> me [13:04] jrib, that's it. thank you so much [13:04] how can i purge Evolution [13:04] its counting [13:04] mpd?

Everything seems normal bit then it freezes... cannot do anything else then just kill the comp... *reset button that is* [13:06] tiddi: there are graphical frontends to the daemon [13:07] ok [13:07] ill look into that [13:07] Andycasss: pastebin your smb.conf [13:07] Greetings folks.

Ubuntu tries to mount the USB key, but only doues so if I moanually say sudo mount /dev/sdX, its doing so from yesterday, anyone con help? [13:07] tiddi: (sonata being one of them) [13:07] tiddi: I use glurp to connect to it.

[13:09] nashu is your /etc/fstab okay? maybe you can match what you have to type manually with the entry in that file [13:09] huffdah, tiddi: gtg [13:09] how do i compare strings in bash? if [ $1=='something' ] [13:10] ok ... cya take care [13:10] lousygarua: check the manpage for 'test' [13:10] oks thnx m8 [13:10] ok, I can list Package names, isntallation status and size with aptitude show '~n.*' | egrep '^Package:|^State:|^Uncompressed Size:' [13:10] AngryElf: http://pastebin.com/m340f1ef0 [13:10] But how do I select only installed packages, then sort by size? [13:10] Pici, ohhhhh [ ] is not workign with strings?? [13:11] I had to add netbios name and such settings myself, they werent there [13:11] bulmer : FSTAB is ok only it doesnt contain the new usb key. I used to have an automation that put a new drive icon on the desktop and I had that aplet for the panel that said whent it was mounted, now it appears in the mounter aplet as "unmounted" and it < [13:11] lousygarua: it is, test is the same thing as [ ], the manpage has all the correct syntax [13:11] hello everyone, I just installed gutsy, is it normal that firestarter firewall isn't installed ? [13:11] Pici, ok hmm [13:11] burwaco: yes. [13:12] hey folks [13:12] !grub [13:12] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:12] burwaco: Firestarter is just a frontend to the firewall, iptables is installed. [13:12] Pici: hello, nice to see you again... firestarter isn't standard ? [13:12] bulmer : and it can be mounted only as root [13:12] I'm developing an app with Qt4 and I was wondering if there is an easy way to generate .deb packages from those projects (the problem is that we don't have a configure script there) [13:12] burwaco: No. Its not, no firewall frontends are install by default. The firewall itself (iptables) is installed. [13:12] my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt. what's means ? [13:12] diskspace used 450gb 91956 mp3 files [13:13] would someone know if theres a way to automatically place certain programs when loaded into the icewm tray instead of the regular taskbar? [13:13] Hi. I'm having problems... I'm trying to get an installation of Feisty to play mp3s but I can't install the package libxine-extracodecs because a package it depend on can't be found (libxine1-ffmpeg) [13:13] so it isnt the smallest amount for Amarok to read i admit. [13:13] Cheetah: .debs don't really need ./configure (though it helps)... all you need is a proper debian/ directory [13:13] Cheetah: read the packaging manual on debian.org [13:13] hey everyone... is sub pixel hinting turned on by default with 7.10? [13:14] Chousuke, that's what I'm trying to do the past hours ;) [13:14] * genii sips a coffee [13:14] my system I got dumped into BusyBox with the initramfs prompt when it load ubuntu 7.10 cd desktop. what's means ? [13:14] Not sure why I am getting this when I try start proftpd: ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration. [13:14] ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc. If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures. All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything. If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide [13:14] as? [13:15] Cheetah: there's no real "easy way out" if you want to do it properly :) [13:15] hello [13:15] is there a ubuntu brazilian room? [13:15] Chousuke, i figured ;) it looks so easy if you have a proper configure script ;) [13:15] !br [13:15] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:15] Pici, thx i got it, also needed quotes before the $1, i.e. "$1" = "something" [13:15] tx [13:15] Cheetah: then again, once you've got the sources debianised, keeping it up-to-date with future versions should be simple [13:16] lousygarua: hello [13:16] lousygarua: ah, good. [13:16] Chousuke, yeah, thanks, I'll go the hard way then ;) [13:16] nashu then modify /etc/fstab to put an entry for the missing [13:16] Chousuke, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/ seems like a good guide?

[13:21] it works fine under XP but in Ubuntu it keeps disconnecting me and I'm having to reboot to get it back [13:21] I was wondering, if I customize my kernel, when ubuntu updates the kernel later, do I have to customize it again, or does the update use my configfile ? [13:21] Anyone know a lot about compiz (or what they call it now). I want to set custom transparency for various stuff, like I could with BERYL.. Thanks [13:22] hairulfr, - install the manager app [13:22] lets you control all the settings [13:22] Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? My samba configuration : http://pastebin.com/m34032616 [13:22] hi. a basic question that was answered here earlier seconds before my battery died: how do i restore the Ubuntu 7.10 default panel, with all the icons and menus in place just as they were on install? [13:23] i've deleted the ~/.gnome-* panel related directories and dot-files, but to no avail. [13:23] nnila: Sure? I Already did, compiz-settings.-control-mamanger...? Can't see anyon of the custom transparancy, for panels and drop down menus, I want it to save my setting from boot to boot [13:24] After a power outage I get a "error 25: Disk read error". No CDrom, No floppy. I can't boot the normal kernel but recovery mode does give me a prompt. Does anyone know if I can restore the NORMAL kernel from there? [13:24] marcelino what happens when you try to boot the normal kernel [13:25] Error 25: Disk read error [13:25] Right after "savedefault" [13:25] marcelino where do you reboot the revoery mode from - Grub or the livecd ? [13:25] hairulfr: If you open the settings manager, click on general options, there's a tab that says opacity settings. In there, there is a box where you put in what you want transparent and what opacity setting to use... [13:25] marcelino: have you looked at your menu.lst to see if everything is the same for the core and recovery boot options [13:25] Grub, it's a headless server with no CDrom or floppy. Grub still works! [13:26] #ubuntu-br [13:27] how can I manually re-load the partition table so the system can be aware of changes ? [13:27] amigrave you can't [13:27] JustinAllen: Cool, how do i "probe" a window for it's name? Old compiz did that by click,, but need proper name for panels, menus etc [13:27] !paste [13:27] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [13:27] menu.lst ... there are 4 options, I don't think anything has changed. There are 4 options apart from mtest. Only the recovery modes give me a prompt. [13:27] amigrave if your modifying a disk that is in use you'll have to unmount all partitions [13:27] hairulfr: also, there is a channel called #compiz-fusion....check there for help too... [13:27] marcelino look at the differences [13:27] ikonia: but I guess fdisk does that at the end, when you write the changes [13:27] :) [13:28] JustinAllen: Thanks, [13:28] question, If I customize my kernel with this guide, do I have to recompile the kernel every time ubuntu updates the kernel ? [13:28] sorry, the differences between what do you mean? [13:28] hairulfr: d'oh..i knew you were going to ask that...i can't remember how to probe them though.....lemme fumble through the forums.... [13:28] amigrave no - it writes the changes but the OS won't see it on an "in use" disk until a reboot so the disk is unmounted [13:28] ikonia: the disk that has been changed is not my system disk (it's a CF card) [13:28] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/ [13:28] burwaco no you won't but you may have to if ubuntu updates things that depends on the kernel [13:28] JustinAllen: Haha, Cheers man :) [13:28] amigrave then unplug it and replug it so it re-reads tha partition table [13:29] hey.. I'm having some trouble, I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse [13:29] ikonia: like what ? like an ati driver for example ? [13:29] ikonia: hum ..... I don't know what to say :) [13:29] Im trying to set up a server in samba, Ive followed the guide in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 But my vista and XP machines cannot connect to this server, its not visible in workgroups, and i cant connect to ip either. Whats wrong? My samba configuration : http://pastebin.com/m34032616 [13:29] burwaco thats a good example [13:29] anybody know how I lost a processor core during the Gutsy upgrade, and how to fix it?! [13:30] it ran xp fine for three years, so it should be good enough for ubuntu.. any ideas? [13:30] ikonia: I'm too deep in my stupidities and I even didn't tought about that ;-) I'm formating a CF card in an amiga emulator :) [13:30] hairulfr: here ya go....http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1768&highlight=opacity+setting [13:30] ikonia: so, if I want things to stay easy to update it's better not to customize kernel ? [13:30] <]Spectre[> I/join #java [13:30] MarcC you've lost a core - is your kernel still showing up as smp [13:30] JustinAllen: Thanks a bunch man :) [13:30] <]Spectre[> ops [13:30] How can I install a file which is install.sh please? I tried ./install.sh but it is not working .. giving me permission denied but I am logged as root [13:30] hairulfr: anytime! [13:31] burwaco only customise the kernel if you REALLY have to or you REALY understand what your doing. the ubuntu team put a lot of effort into the kernel, and their collective effort will no doubt be more aware than your knowledge [13:31] anyone? [13:31] Yancho its not marked as executable - chmod it [13:31] GUHH, the option you gave me "-o nls=utf8", did not worked [13:31] Chams what ? [13:31] Yancho: chmod +x file.sh [13:31] ikonia it is on a cd :S [13:31] Yancho: then ./file.sh [13:31] Yancho then copy it [13:31] I'm trying to set up ubuntu 7.10 in a computer, but when the live cd boots up it lags alot, I almost can't move the mouse [13:31] do i have any packages that are missing? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42897/ [13:31] Yancho: copy the files to the hard drive first?

[13:32] it has 256mb [13:32] 256 might not be enough for ubuntu [13:32] JustinAllen never used nikons, but try opening nautulis and seeing if you can see the camera as a "device" [13:32] hmm [13:32] darn [13:32] and despite what peopel say, it's not enough for XP either [13:33] Chams how fast is the processor [13:33] haha, I know, but still it ran xp for three years :) [13:33] ikonia: good point... I'm on a laptop ant just wanted to throw out some stuff I don't need, like hamradio... I installed this system last night, it's completely fresh and I'd like to do things like kernel customisation first (if I screw up I can just reinstall) [13:33] Chams, install off the alternate cd, it will run faster once installed. livecds are a byatch for low end machines [13:33] amd sempron 2200 [13:33] 256 is marginal amount for running the livecd decently... after install it's more than enough [13:33] genii: ahh, thought so [13:33] chams: Yes xp ran fine but did you ever run XP from a livecd? ;) [13:33] burwaco why throw it out its not being loaded unless you modprobe it, so its not taking any resources [13:33] primski; ait, I'll try that [13:33] hehe, nope :) [13:33] 'so live cds require more? [13:34] ikonia: no dice...when i open nautilus with camera in p2p setting, nothing shows up. If i open nautilus with the camera in mass storage setting, an icon pops up but disappears instantly [13:34] XP Live CD? have i missed something ?P : [13:34] I'll test the alternative cd, thakns guys [13:34] Chams, yea, it runs whole system from memory, ofc its slow [13:34] ahh, okay [13:34] having problems surfing the net.it's very slow and ipv6 is disabled.also the dns are resteing after 10 min so i have to setup them again every 10 min.what can i do? [13:34] ofcourse :) === dema is now known as demas [13:34] :) [13:34] hey again, thanks [13:35] morning [13:35] np, good luck [13:35] snsone fix dhcp [13:35] ikonia: ok, you win... no kernel hacking for me... what else can I customize before I start bloating my system with dirty files ? :-) [13:35] it's a static ip configuration [13:35] burwaco why do you need to customise anything ? [13:35] Chams: I needed to install 7.04 from alternate since this box has only 128Mb ...after it ran fine however [13:35] Help my computer screen tells me this and i'm not sure what to do http://rafb.net/p/T1UWng56.html [13:35] snsone then what are you talking about dns servers being reset ? [13:36] great! I get nice speed, 25 mins left of the alt cd :) [13:36] ikonia: because I'm bored controlfreak ? [13:36] frederick85: don't troll ! [13:36] the nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf [13:36] Is it just me or Ubuntu Forums is locking up Firefox? [13:36] burwaco your a rubbish control freak if you don't know what to tweak [13:36] im running ubuntu gutsy [13:36] snsone then its not a static DNS configuration - so you need to fix dhcp [13:36] snsone so ? [13:37] burwaco the default ubuntu install is fine, change things when you find things you don't like [13:37] not just for the sake of it [13:37] hello i cant get my sound to work any ideas? [13:37] ikonia: bah, let him do as he likes. tweaking can be fun for it's own sake - a way of learning. [13:37] Linking /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init to /etc/init.d/ls.init ... ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S89ls.init' to `/etc/init.d/ls.init': No such file or directory <- is this the result of trying to install a RedHat Application on Ubuntu? [13:38] delire I said he tweak what he wants but asking "what do I tweak" is pointless - what do you tweak for what ??? [13:38] ikonia: break things, fix them badly et al. [13:38] ikonia: it is a strange question, i agree, but there's no need to be harsh. [13:38] ikonia: ok, true, I have the ati driver from the repos running now, and it doesn't seem to support compiz, is there a guide for gutsy already ? I'd like to get compiz running... [13:38] delire do'nt tell me - I know what I change [13:38] burwaco compiz is already installed in gusty [13:38] delire I'm not being harsh [13:39] anyone?

[13:42] Nashu_ another one ? [13:42] burwaco: if you open up System>Preferences>Appearance...there should be a tab that says Visual Effects [13:42] problem :) [13:42] Nashu_ I don't think I've spoke to you before [13:42] ikonia: where can I look for that ?

[13:43] my usb ports are no longer reacting normal, I plug my usb but it does not completely mount the device, it apears in the mounter uplet as unmounted [13:43] burwaco no - I want you to read the link I sent you and see if your card is support and if so by what drivers [13:43] burwaco: read the page man [13:43] g[r]eek: still here? [13:44] and it mounts only if I sudo mount /dev/sdaX [13:44] Nashu_ what device is it [13:44] yes it was [13:44] snsone: right. do you still want to use it as a router? [13:44] ikonia: I got beryl running a few months ago, with the driver from ati.com and xgl...

[13:47] Nashu_ what you can try if you want is zero the syslog - tail the syslog and then plug in the device and see what is logged [13:48] is any ubuntu version available for embedded pc or especialy for alix boards? [13:48] ikonia : ues, the same on my user , BUT, if I boot on rescue option, and than as root startX , all is ok on gnome [13:48] *ues = yes [13:48] Nashu_: try tailin ghte log and lugging the drvice in [13:48] so, what happened to XV on Nvidia cards?

I want to upgrade to gutsy but there is no message like it says on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:49] this makes using mythtv near impossible [13:49] Nashu_ thats fine, I'll probably still be around, give me a nudge when you want to walk it through [13:50] well? [13:50] how do i get the input field instead of the button for the deskbar applet? [13:50] this is on a clean install too [13:50] arcticblue: are you using Compiz? [13:50] no [13:50] cyne: You dont. It was removed in the Gutsy version (I'd like it back too) [13:50] arcticblue: XV can be enabled in xorg.conf, though the xorg config application in 7.10 may support this option also. [13:50] Pici oh i see, well i suppose you would have to click up there anyway [13:51] so the default behavior is to disable XV support which many multimedia apps use? [13:51] cyne: Aparrently it was 'an ugly hack'. I think its blueprinted to be back in for the next version of Gnome [13:51] arcticblue: i don't think so. you may have manipulated your xorg.conf however. [13:52] Pici.. ok cool [13:52] arcticblue: if not, then i would consider looking at the video overlay and opengl overlay options. they are toggles. [13:52] haven't touched it. like i said, it's a clean install. just finished installing about an hour ago [13:52] !upgrade [13:52] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:53] arcticblue: right, odd. have you tried passing mplayer alternative output flags to see if the problem is more general?

Apereantly I have no partition table. This sure is strange, because I can see all my partitions in nautilus. I've asked for help on this and people told me to get the alternative cd, but in my opinion, this is merely fighting the symptoms instead of the problem. [13:53] arcticblue: can you look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if the option VideoOverlay is set to On? [13:53] burwaco: what ati card do you have? [13:54] hello guys [13:54] JustinAllen: no, I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto now... [13:54] hi [13:54] Thanks Ubuntu for being so cool.

[14:25] no, not yet; what do you mean by 'escaping' w/ a \ ? [14:25] If I copy the contents of the gParted Live CD ISO to a USB Drive, will it work to boot? [14:25] burwaco: good :) [14:26] MrEgg964: like: /path/to/directory\ with\ spaces/ [14:26] JustinAllen: yes, wobbly windows, no cube yet ... [14:26] Can anyone tell me, should I use cedega or wine for gaming? [14:26] Pici: ok, got it, i'll try that. ty [14:26] Javid: Well I would rather use a stone tablet and a chisel than to fight with Windows everyday. [14:26] at least the thing boots now... [14:26] maniaxmax: Cedega is commercial [14:26] Hi.. i tried to install ies4linux but it doesnt make the icons in bin on home folder? [14:27] Fossilet:I always just did right-click on the iso and "open with file-roller" === kl4m is now known as Kl4m-away [14:27] pici: well...does it have any advantages? or does it work the same? [14:27] IE 7 is realeased for mac osx right? Does this mean there will be a version for linux? [14:27] no [14:27] hi. dumb question: I am trying to upgrade an existing 7.04 installation to 7.10. however, if I boot the installation cd it only offers me the chance to _install_ 7.10. will it recognize and properly upgrade my existing 7.04 installation? [14:27] neopsyche, no way [14:27] IE7 for OS X?? [14:27] IE7 is crap, too! [14:27] blueser: No. [14:27] neopsyche, Why... [14:27] so, has anyone else noticed a delay for dns queries when trying to ping? on gutsy, if I try to ping something that resolves to our internal dns server, there's like a 2-second delay. but if i try it from a non-gutsy computer (fiesty, or windows or mac) it's fine. also, if i ping the IP from the gutsy box it's also fine [14:27] maniaxmax: Cedega is tailored for games, Wine for running any apps. [14:28] s00p: windows installed without a hitch. ubuntu ate my mbr and refuses to detect my tablet.that = crapware [14:28] Hi [14:28] and it didn't happen until i upgraded to gutsy [14:28] pici: ok cool, thanks [14:28] and it's happening on 3 or 4 gutsy machines [14:28] bstock: Is it possible that you had ipv6 disabled previous to gutsy? [14:28] Ahadiel: for testing website purposes [14:28] Pici: wow, thk god I haven't tried it =) is it possible to install from this cd or am I obliged to do a network upgrade? [14:28] neopsyche, run windows in a VM D: (ie. Virtualbox) [14:28] bstock, I think the problem is in /etc/nsswitch.conf compare it with other distro [14:28] Javid: Ubuntu installed great on my MacBook Pro and my Dell Latitude D630. I think it's wonderful! [14:28] Pici: i usually just leave resolv.conf as it is, including the ipv6 routes [14:28] burwaco: mine wasn't either but i just figured it out.hehe..if you look in the bottom right corner (hope you're using GNOME) you should see your workspaces...i think default to Gutsy is 2..right click and go to preferences and change the columns to 4..so it shows 4 workspaces..then ur cube shold work properly [14:28] Here as a oneliner, see all installed packages by size: aptitude show '~n.*' | awk '/^Package:/ {p = $0} /^State:/ {s = $0} /^Uncompressed Size:/ {print p " " s " " $0}' | grep 'State: installed' | sed 's/: /:/g' | sort -t: -n -k4 | more [14:28] blueser: You can use the Alternate CD as a cdbased repo to do the upgrade. [14:29] Why doesnt my gutsy allow my windows machine to create folders on its shared folders. I can copy files there, but not create folders???? I can create a folder in my HOME share, but not in media. Both share paths are configured exacly the same in smba.conf [14:29] There must be a better way, though? [14:29] Ahadiel: that is very time consuming to set up as well as ram consuming [14:29] alright i'll take a look at that file [14:29] Pici: mmmh... got it. thks [14:29] is there anyone here who can help me or not? [14:29] Pici: I must be doing smthg wrong ; my fstab line is /mnt/DataCenter/my\ \directory - that returns an error. Any idea? [14:29] actually that file looks the same as it was on fiesty [14:29] blueser: Yes, as Pici says, you can do sudo apt-cdrom and add the 7.10 alternate to your sources.list where you can upgrade to it [14:30] MrEgg964: too many backslashes, should be /mnt/DataCenter/my\ directory/ [14:30] snsone-> what do you have? can you elaborate your network layout? [14:30] snsone: they're too busy eating cheetos and playing wow to stoop to helping a prole with their problems [14:30] genii: ok, thks. anyway, I need a different cd for that [14:31] can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back? [14:31] it's annoying [14:31] i know on fiesty there was some sort of checkbox i had to disable for a similar problem, something in Administration -> Network. but now it's changed a little [14:31] hi [14:32] question: any fix for gutsy on the msttcorefonts issue after doing apt-get upgrade please??? [14:32] goddamit internet is very slow and ipv6 is disabled.help! [14:32] yeah, under General there was an option 'Scan for available service and advertise local services on the network' now that option isn't there anymore [14:32] Is there any difference between mounting in fstab with /dev/sdb* and by UUID [14:32] anybody have experience using alien to install .rpm packages? [14:32] Windows is an evil wretch [14:33] so nu? [14:33] I'm trying to run a game using Wine on a different X display. Sound goes fine, but there's no video output. What am I doing wrong? Using X :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only, then DISPLAY=:3 wine game [14:33] viril: they work for me. What problems were you seeing? [14:33] Lunks, try asking in #winehq I believe [14:33] I'm trying :P [14:33] freezey, whats the issue? [14:34] I believe this has nothing to do with Wine specfically, but X or Nvidia. [14:34] Ahadiel: thanks anyway [14:34] achadwick: --22:22:01-- http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe [14:34] => `./andale32.exe' [14:34] Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Connection timed out. [14:34] JimmyDee: i installed a package with alien and now i want to remove it [14:35] freezey, you can remove it using apt-get remove [14:35] yeah but it was an rpm so i am not even sure of the package name [14:35] viril: it resolves for me (to 130.59.138.20). Is andale31 the first font in the list by any chance, and/or do you see the same error elsewhere? [14:36] My friend Ken and I have determined that "Windows" is a pariah. Anything with the name Windows attached to it is bound to be problematic! [14:36] somebody knows the Flash MX for linux ? [14:36] JimmyDee: it instaleld into a dir and its called hsm in the dir it installed to but in the above dir its just the .rpm package [14:36] s00p: Thats nice, and offtopic, take it to ##windows [14:37] god damn, i ask to much for somebody to help me make a bloody network card to work properly? [14:37] can anyone tell me why apps turn "shadowed" sometimes when using compiz, and how you get them back? [14:37] mick_: There is none. It might work under Wine though. [14:37] I did but they banned me :( [14:37] freezey, check synaptic, look under manually installed [14:37] Pici, tks [14:37] How to run X on a specified resolution? [14:37] * achadwick checks. And I can connect and get HTTP HEAD info for that file from surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net. [14:37] s00p: If you continue here the result might be the same. [14:37] achadwick, andale32 is the first font of the series. note: i'm not under a proxy or anything. what can i do to cancel/clean the partial process? [14:37] Pici: People are not allowed to talk about any non-Ubuntu topics here? [14:37] viril: have you read this: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/147253 [14:38] s00p: This is a support channel, so, no. [14:38] !offtopic | s00p [14:38] s00p: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:38] How to run X on a specified resolution? [14:38] JimmyDee: where is manually installed? [14:38] Lunks: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the default resolution in there (or set the highest value to the one you want) [14:38] I switched from prop. to free. nvidia driver, now my keymap is reset. how to fix? [14:38] Pici, thanks, i'll check it first [14:38] MikeDX: But I want to set it from command line [14:39] dynamically? [14:39] JimmyDee: ok i saw it [14:39] startx --help ? [14:39] In that case. When will the intel hd audio under the ICH8 chipset finally be working so that I don't gave to rebuild alsa with each kernel update? [14:39] !xconfig | Lunks [14:39] Lunks: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [14:39] Pici: The gParted Live CD works like Ubuntu Live CD? I have to boot from it and create partition? [14:39] hi, i want to install compiz fusion. which packages do i need? [14:39] freezey, thats how to kill it [14:39] Hi, how do you edit the applications menu from the shell? [14:39] SpikePT: Yes, it does (and is a much smaller download). I just used it the other day. [14:39] I'm creating a new X session, which I want to specify its resolution [14:39] ANYONE?I REALLY NEED HELP GODAMMIT! [14:40] My usual X session is fine. ;) [14:40] !patience | snsone [14:40] snsone: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped. Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:40] Pici: Thanks. [14:40] snsone: :o [14:40] Javid: Try sudo modprobe wacom [14:40] ugh those bot "commands" are annoying as hell [14:40] snsone: Multiple people have asked you for more details and you havent provided any. [14:40] is there a maximum number of displays available using xinerama? [14:40] i provided details [14:40] snsone, does the ubuntu livecd fix your network? [14:41] 3 times already [14:41] no, i tried it [14:41] snsone is your card listed in lspci? have you tried hard coding settings in /etc/network/interfaces ? [14:41] I woke up this morning and my HD was full.. checked Disk usage and it said there was 79gb in the beagle directory logs... so I removed all the logs and emptied the trash.. now I only have 52gb free? WTH Any idea? [14:41] auto eth0 ... blah lbha [14:41] snsone, what about knoppix? [14:41] How do i configure ies4linux .. i already installed it .. but something went wrong i dont have any icon to start ie6 [14:41] MikeDX: I want to specify screen resolution like -depth command specifies colour depth. [14:42] snsone: If you dont use the persons name when you reply, they dont know that you are talking to them. Also keep your replies on one line. [14:42] ta1: oddly enough, that can happen [14:42] neopsyche, did you install cabextract? [14:42] snsone-> you need to prefix your responses with the nick of the person you are responding to or else it would be missed [14:42] JimmyDee: first yes [14:42] neopsyche, and wine I'm sure [14:42] MikeDXi dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases [14:42] Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? [14:42] JimmyDee: what do i type to check? [14:42] and X is a too damn small word to google. :/ [14:42] JimmyDee: yes wine [14:42] r3m0t: sure but any idea why it would say there is 79gb of data and only free up 52? [14:43] neopsyche, I've really never seen it fail, did you run the script using sudo? [14:43] lunks: google for x11 or xorg or xorg.conf or startx [14:43] JimmyDee: let me check [14:43] Lunks: what is your problem? [14:43] How well does WINE work these days? I have heard it's pretty sketchy at best. [14:43] JimmyDee: i closed all the windows that were open [14:43] ta1: I think it's about how it's counted. if you used something like nautilus then it counts up the size of each file and totals them. but what if the same file exists under two names? it's only *actually* stored once on your disk [14:43] JimmyDee: can you run me through it again... [14:43] ta1: you sure it wasnt 52% free and not 52gb.. 160gb drive by any chance? [14:43] neopsyche, sure, open a terminal [14:44] JimmyDee: ok [14:44] I think compiz really affects your productivity... [14:44] MikeDX:i dont know much about hard coding in ubuntu.i only disabled ipv6 in aliases [14:44] gretings [14:44] can someone help me [14:44] neopsyche, cd to the directory containing the ies4linux.sh script [14:44] kopsd: I'm running a new X session, but would like to specify screen resolution [14:44] MikeDX: yes it said 79GB and it is a 250gb drive [14:44] like -depth specifies colour depth [14:44] i installed Windows live messenger with the help of wine [14:44] snsone paste your /etc/network/interfaces (on pastbin) [14:44] and i'll try to edit it for you [14:45] and i want to run it [14:45] richard_, what happens when you do/\ [14:45] can someone help [14:45] what do you mean [14:45] s///\/? [14:45] how do i restore the gnome-panel with all the Ubuntu defaults, just as they came out-of-the-box? deleting ~/.gnome-* panel files is not getting me anywhere. [14:45] richard_: got amsn for linux [14:45] neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh [14:45] ok [14:45] Quick, what are the hotkeys in GNOME Terminal to create a tab, and switch the currently-viewed tab? [14:45] i have but with amsn for linux you cannot remote control [14:45] !resetpanel | delire [14:45] delire: To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in. [14:46] with windows live messenger you can [14:46] richard_: '\' is an 'escape character' in UNIX REGEX contexts. [14:46] manchicken: ctrl+pgup and pgdown, ctrl+shift+t [14:46] richard_, if you installed wine using ubuntu's package manager, your installed application should be under the main menu of your toolbar, under "Wine" [14:46] JimmyDee: command not found? [14:46] ty Pici! [14:46] r3m0t: Much thanks. [14:46] neopsyche, it might be ies4lin or something, I forget [14:46] Pici: admittedly it's been many years since i've really used gnome. [14:46] yes i already have the short cut on my desktop [14:47] when i lunch it it does not open [14:47] Man Gnome needs a weather applet that allows you to add your own city definitions w/o hacking an xml file. [14:47] JimmyDee: jimmydee [14:47] richard_: but wine does not works with all windows-based application [14:47] neopsyche, do a ls and tell me the .sh name [14:47] JimmyDee: could i just run it with terminal by right clicking? [14:47] only some will [14:47] yes i think i just find out [14:47] neopsyche, hurm, never actually made that work, try typing it out [14:47] JimmyDee: ies4linux lang lib LICENSE README ui winereg [14:47] richard_: You really should check #winehq. Also, http://appdb.winehq.org for Wine Compatibility. I'm sure Windows Live Messenger does not work. [14:48] Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff [14:48] i manage to install Win4Lin pro [14:48] live msn does not work [14:48] 7 works to an extent. 8 - forget it [14:48] neopsyche, you need the script, where did you untar the script? [14:48] even with the real windows dlls [14:48] Yeah, 7 should work fine. [14:48] but i donot have any xp disk [14:48] MikeDX: this may take a while because the internet is very slow (about 1kb/s) [14:48] JimmyDee: untarred script on desktop [14:48] snsone your /etc/network/interfaces file should be 10 lines max! [14:48] neopsyche, cd ~/Desktop please [14:49] ok...trying to connect my Nikon D40 to my pc. If i have the camera in P2P mode, when powered on, it will pop up in Ubuntu and ask if i want to import my pictures. All i want to do is view the contents of what's on the camera, so i choose Ignore...nothing shows up in file browser or anything. If i use the Mass Storage option on my camera, an icon pops up in file browse but disappears instantly....so no dice there either...any ide [14:49] as? [14:49] JimmyDee: ok? [14:49] JimmyDee: im on the desktop in terminal now [14:49] neopsyche, now ls and tell me the ies4linux.sh or somesuch filename [14:49] any idea to make my logitech usb webcam work [14:49] MikeDX: yes but i have to download the paste [14:50] i see [14:50] JustinAllen: use a memory card + reader :) other than that, i don't know [14:50] JimmyDee: no no... the untarred files are extracted into a folder called ies4linux.something.something [14:50] richard_: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fqce-ga.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=o-cpR5GkHqbMgQTBzvV_&usg=AFQjCNEWfMZ3oMrlWao999Hn5kOJQqOX5g&sig2=9S0G5jGiWZBwN4Tu68vGOw [14:50] then cd ies4linux.something.something [14:50] JustinAllen:try putting the camera into mass storage and then mounting the camera directly [14:50] richard_: sorry.... http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ [14:50] or cd ies4[tab] [14:51] what does that do [14:51] JimmyDee: it says ies4linux.sh [14:51] JimmyDee: thats the name of the file [14:51] richard_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [14:51] how can i start xterm with no window borders? [14:51] is it green? [14:51] MikeDX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42901/ [14:51] noelferreira: dare I ask why? [14:52] thank you [14:52] neopsyche, sudo ./ies4linux.sh and dont miss the "create desktop icon (Y/N)" line [14:52] because i want r3m0t, to use with vdr, just estetic === Yancho is now known as YanchoAWY [14:52] snsone what problem do you have with your network? [14:52] so any idea to make my windows live messenger lunch [14:52] what happens if you do sudo ifup eth1 from a shell [14:52] Is there a way to see the gutsy's used disk space in windows? I have sharing set up, now i want to know how much free space is there left for my stuff [14:52] JimmyDee: do i need to put ./ [14:52] richard_: why would you want to make lunch for it.... [14:52] JimmyDee: it keeps saying command no tfound [14:53] MikeDX: it's going very slow (internet) and the dns's are reseting every 10 min [14:53] JimmyDee: should i run it sudo su? [14:53] andycasss: look for e2fs on google [14:53] noelferreira: if you want some windows with and others without, I'm not sure [14:53] neopsyche, sudo chmod +x ies4linux.sh [14:53] does anyone know in the compiz setting manager where you can make the windows that lay on top of eachother appear in 3D, like there's space between the windows... [14:53] richard_: using wine? [14:53] how do i find out which version of the kernel i'm running via the commandline? [14:53] burwaco: you mean Vista-style? [14:53] dahitokiri: uname -r [14:53] hi, quick question please. I installed "mplayer" and "mozilla-mplayer" but how do I get firefox to use the mozilla-mplayer plugin ? Thanks in advance :D [14:53] snsone: is that a server? can you use dhcp? [14:53] snsone: first of all, put your 'auto' command above the config. secondly, are you trying to add custom DNS entries and they're getting reset to the dhcp ones? [14:53] i have already [14:53] inxane, thanks [14:53] r3m0t: what is Vista-style? [14:53] dahitokiri: np [14:53] dahitokiri, uname -r [14:53] JimmyDee: this is really confusing: chmod: cannot access `ies4linux.sh': No such file or directory [14:54] when i click on the icon it does not lunch [14:54] noelferreira: I mean Flip3D, Google it [14:54] mplayer for life :> [14:54] :D [14:54] nothing of that r3m0t [14:54] JimmyDee: but i am in .. :/home/andrew/Desktop/ies4linux-2.0.5# [14:54] bstock: yes,custom [14:54] neopsyche, and the ies4linux.sh is green when you ls? [14:54] i just need to start an aplication in Xterm with no window borders. that's all [14:54] JimmyDee: and it does infact have a file ies4linux [14:54] r3m0t: no, I don't think so, I mean when you rotate the cube, the windows aren't flat on the cube, but there's like a space between all of them... [14:54] noelferreira: sorry, I don't know [14:54] JimmyDee: shows up in nautilus [14:54] neopsyche: try chmod 0755 ./ies4linux.sh [14:54] MikeDX: no, i can't use [14:54] JimmyDee: yes green [14:54] anyone have a URL about "Oracle recommends Ubuntu" ? [14:55] Hello everyone! What are the apps that an engineering student can use on ubuntu? [14:55] with "sudo apt-get install " i get an auto completion. i made a shortcut alias called "ins" for that command to type in something like "ins ubuntu-desktop" instead of "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". but with "ins" i dont get auto-completion. how to fix (add) that? [14:55] neopsyche, try sudo sh ies4linux.sh [14:55] the ./ is important [14:55] snsone have you edit /etc/resolv.conf ? you could try using the opendns servers [14:55] iceman: not an engineer, but browse synaptic [14:55] snsone: yeah, dhcp resets them. have you tried to go System -> Administration -> Network and adding DNS entries in there? [14:55] iceman: search for "engineer" in @add/remove applications" [14:55] lol r3m0t, flip3d you must be kiding [14:55] :) [14:55] neopsyche: to run ies4linux, use ./ies4linux.sh [14:55] JimmyDee: sh: Can't open ies4linux.sh [14:55] neopsyche: Either create a desktop launcher and point it to your app, or run it from one of the vttys with DISPLAY=0:0 prefixing it . or whatever your x display is on [14:55] MikeDx: how do i go about mounting it manually? what would it show up under? /dev? i'm not sure how to determine if linux is seeing it as being able to be mounted..... [14:56] just type ./ies4linbux.sh [14:56] Pici: Can I boot gParted from USB Flash Drive? Just b copying ISO's contents into the Drive? [14:56] bstocl: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting [14:56] Are these apps present in the default repos?? [14:56] i use flip3d in linux at least for 5 or 6 years r3m0t [14:56] SpikePT: I dont think that will work. [14:56] neopsyche, when you type ls ies* what does it say? [14:56] JustinAllen: type dmesg and see what /dev/sd? device is listed when you plug it in [14:56] SpikePT: The gparted website might have more information about doing that though. [14:56] Pici: Thanks. [14:56] JimmyDee: it says ies4linux (in green ) [14:56] SpikePT: I think there is a mini USB version of a gparted live cd [14:56] JimmyDee: bright green ;-) [14:56] bstock: yes i tried there and in /etc/resolv.conf and they are reseting [14:57] neopsyche, let us try this, sudo ./ies4linux no .sh [14:57] snsone: if you want a perminant change in dns, you should either 1) modify the dhcp server to give out the correct address, or 2) setup a static dns for those [14:57] So, gnome users, do you prefer thunderbird or evolution? [14:57] JimmyDee: ok.. running as root it now gives me something [14:57] thunderbirds [14:57] are go [14:57] JimmyDee: do i want to also install something or other .. 5.5 sp2?

[15:00] JimmyDee: ok.. but what about my old files.. will they be over written? [15:00] neopsyche, yup [15:00] YanchoAWY: It very likely might be [15:00] JimmyDee: the stuff i previously installed i dont want it cluttering up the system [15:00] neopsyche, all goes in the same place, you'll be fine [15:01] Pici i did install alien .. but nothing changed [15:01] JimmyDee: cool [15:01] ty ubotu the nounting worked!! [15:01] Anybody ever gotten anything to sync with a blackberry? [15:01] YanchoAWY: Did you install something with alien? [15:01] JimmyDee: what im confused about.. why does it not run when i simply right click run in terminal from nautilus .. diddnt install icons? [15:02] JimmyDee: in other words.. i did the whole process .. but it diddnt install properly.. diddnt give an start file in bin in home/me === Kaja- is now known as Kaja [15:02] hello all [15:02] neopsyche, this is a question I cannot answer, I think scripts belong in the terminal [15:02] JimmyDee: hmm [15:02] Pici no .. i just added it to my system .. now i have the install.sh .. how can i run it with alien? [15:02] JimmyDee: ok thanks. [15:02] hello, i need some help with a terminal command to remount/turn on a removeable hdd after ejecting it. [15:03] wow... lot's of questions [15:03] YanchoAWY: alien is only for running RPMs. not shell scripts. If it was designed for a redhat system it might not work at all or it might work fine. [15:03] jditto: something like 'sudo mount -o remount /directory' ? [15:03] just another feisty day in ubuntuland fallion [15:03] yeah... I see that [15:03] YanchoAWY: Alien is only good for pre-packages RMP type packages. It won't help much with binary RedHat installations [15:03] bstock: ok dont that so it should work now, as in no more resets right? [15:03] jditto: its not remounting automatically? [15:03] argggh :( .. so there is much more chance for me to make the win version work than the redhat [15:03] *RPM [15:03] heh... any nvidia experts in here? [15:04] hopefully [15:04] Fallion55: just ask [15:04] Fallion55, so grab a mountain dew, put on yer thinking cap and jump right in [15:04] Fallion55 nvidia experts are in #nvidia [15:04] masedonija [15:04] bstock: thanks, and i have one small problem [15:04] whats that [15:04] snsone, you have much more than a small problem [15:04] Pici: Sorry for repeat of your answer LOL was looking at keyboard while typing and not screen etc [15:05] ok... thanks for all the answers... ...is #nvidia really a room or is that a joke?

[15:06] JustinAllen: strange... you should show some type of device with a partition number when you plug the device in [15:06] JimmyDee: yeah i know... are they against world domination of linux?

When Shorewall starts after a reboot, the tun0 interface of openvpn isn't up, so shorewall fails to start. (wait_interface tun0 is set). One can solve this, by adding openvpn to runlevel S. (cd /etc/rcS.d; ln -s ../init.d/openvpn S16openvpn). Will this symlink be overwritten/deleted when an update is done or will it last? [15:18] dirtbag666 i use brasero might want to try it [15:18] i just managedc to kill my mysql installation - is there an easy way (ive tried dkpg-reconfigure, and i've tried apt-get remove and apt-get install) to get the original file structure back?

[15:31] troughton: stop avahi [15:31] Fallion55 to use dual monitor with nvidia you have the option of using xinerama or nvidia's own twin view. There are tools such as "nvidia-settings" to help you set this up but my personal opinion is that those tools are not mature enough and youi'll end up building your own config from hand [15:31] its cool [15:31] very handy [15:31] dirtbag666: yeah, says it can't find version.h [15:31] i've instaled the headers but it doesn't like them [15:31] everything is either oversized or i have to move my mouse to the edge of the screen to make it move around [15:31] but ive just stuffed my server with this mysql problem... time to reinstall :( [15:31] troughton-> curiosity, is that an additional entry in /etc/network/interfaces?

[15:32] Fallion55 no - xinerama is an externsioon to the xorg server [15:32] thats the any-any patch, didn't think it was for vmware tools [15:32] inxane: ok..i changed it to PTP setting instead of Mass Storage and when i issue my mount command i get this instead.....mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist [15:32] I'll try it though, thanks [15:32] inxane: but dmesg shows it as being sda1 still....

Now for one reason or another i get errors on certain applications i.e. LD_PRELOAD ... some .so cannot be loaded. I verified the file exists. any ideas?

Removing depedndencies will break other things, so you have a choice of living with the application you don't want on your ssystem or risk breaking other things removing dependencies [16:07] Chams: you should consider xubuntu [16:07] Pici: it worked now, thanks a lot =) [16:08] it is lame that BT is tied into so many things. this is akin to tying IE into Windows. [16:08] I guess I'll do that then [16:08] Chams: kde & gnome can eat up quite a bit of ram, but xfc is much lighter [16:08] s00p if it bothers you that much - don't use ubuntu [16:08] When I boot it looks like the system thinks I am trying to boot a floppy.. it says the disk is bad and to insert a bootable floppy.. if I hit enter then it boots grub just fine.. any idea how to fix this [16:08] gumnos: well, if a package you wish to install depends on another, your only option really is to not install that which depends on it... apt is designed to KEEP things organized, and PREVENT dependency problems, so no, as far as I know, there isn't === inimesekene_ is now known as inimesekene [16:08] Chams: gnome is going to be 256 min usually i would run gnome with that though [16:08] pike_: it depends what you are gonna do, im running a server on a home computer on 256 meg and the ram is nearly full all the time (without any desktop) [16:08] ta1, do you have a floppy in your drive? [16:08] Chams: also desktop effects.. im not familiar with em but you might disable em [16:08] ikonia: you mentioned "apt-cache policy", but that only seems like a way to /see/ what your current policy is, not provide a way to ban a package. [16:09] s00p: well, at least bit torrent client isn't always running in the background, and can crash the computer at any moment. You can install from the alt cd with nothing but a command line and build up only what you want (and not use the ubuntu-desktop packages) [16:09] ikonia: ahh, apt-cache would handle that... there is nothing in the apt-get manpage to allow that [16:09] vulcanius: lol no.. I even tried totally disabling the floppy and it still gives the error [16:09] Chams: by the way, no need to reinstall ubuntu, just do something like apt-get install ubuntu-xfc-desktop (or somtehing) [16:09] Vlet: I understand...I want apt-get to yell at me in the same way that a conflicting dependency would [16:09] kelsin_: there is certainly something to be said for that. [16:09] what is the next release of ubuntu called? [16:09] minus: Hardy Heron [16:09] !hardy | minus [16:09] minus: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) | Due April 2008 | For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [16:09] ta1, you may try unplugging the power cable from the floppy and restarting [16:10] Pici, Ok, thx :) [16:10] vulcanius: ty i'll give it a shot === mario_ is now known as IamoR [16:10] Vlet and ikonia: I suppose it would be hackish to create a virtual pseudo-package that has conflicts with the packages that I don't want, and then install that pseudo-package. Any tips on how to do that? [16:10] gumnos: just curious, why? [16:10] Hi, can anyone give me pointers as to how to customize the text in the shutdown/logout dialog? [16:11] I'll check out xubuntu then, thanks [16:11] Vlet: There are several packages that I've found to be system hogs that drag my poor P800 with its meager 128 megs of memory to its knees. Mono is one, KDE is another. I want to prevent myself from accidentally installing these hogs when exploring available packages. [16:12] <_BaD> zdr [16:14] Hi. Where is the grub.conf located in Ubuntu feisty? [16:14] Yourname``4129: /boot/grub [16:15] whoa, I think I just solved my problems... :D Just remember that I had a 512mb ram chip that wasn't in use by anything.. so now that crappy computer has 768 mb ram instead of 256 [16:15] and it is ALOT faster [16:15] arnath: It's not there :( [16:15] Yourname``4129: (i believe :p) [16:15] Chams: gz ;) === max140 is now known as ma2 === Somotaw is now known as Somotaw|AFK [16:15] thank god I hadn't gone out with the trash yet :D [16:15] anyone know how to fix flickering with compiz + ATI x1600 (8.42.3 drivers) when in 3D applications? [16:15] Chams: :) [16:15] !away > Somotaw|AFK (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [16:16] is there a gui to easily edit file/folder permissions [16:16] ? [16:16] riderrr: right click on file, permissions tab (I believe) [16:16] er, properties in there somewhere [16:16] Yourname``4129: it should be - did you perhaps delete it somehow? [16:17] yes but I want to be able to chown? [16:17] riderrr: yes, right click on them [16:17] Yourname``4129: are you actually looking for menu.lst? [16:17] Vlet: Is it menu.lst? [16:17] Yeah, found it. :) [16:17] Thanks. [16:17] i am getting a message that since I am not the owner I cannot change the persmissions [16:17] In ubuntu, when using wine, can I forward windows software that uses com ports to use the linux /dev/ttyS0 ?

Mine right now is setup to use /usr/bin/lp [16:18] no it is above the home directory but i have XAMPP running in it and need to be able to save files to it?

Have a nice day:) This is my first time running Ubuntu hehehe pretty cool ("/) [16:19] well i'm off, gonna finally transition my last computer to linux! [16:19] yay [16:19] any ideas? [16:20] riderrr: you could add yourself to whatever group owns the file, and then set group file access to r/w [16:20] hi to all, i just installed ubuntu on a laptop, but when i turn on, stays with black screen for 5 minutes before login widow come up. what the cause? [16:20] rupert i fixed that by disabling compiz and using fglrx ...... am not yet using the recently released ati driver which i heard can be used with compiz [16:21] brb [16:22] MoL0ToV, maybe the network is trying to come online ?

[16:28] bullgard4 ubuntu will attempt to detect the correct power throttling module to use, and load it for you automatically. If it doesn't then we can assist [16:28] juano__, no only when i plug in the usb drisk drive [16:28] shouldn't it still work or try to work w/ one video card? [16:28] hammer123: ntfs ?

I'm a long-time debian user trying to compile a custom kernel in Ubuntu, but the instructions on the KernelCustomBuild wiki page aren't working for me. Details here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42911/ [16:29] hammer123: there we go, forgot the ! [16:29] thanks [16:29] mrsno: I have checked Gnome main menu System > System Preferences > System Check > Processes. There is no powernowd. [16:29] !timidity [16:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about timidity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:29] rupert even better after running it through google translate :) [16:29] dang [16:29] Can someone give me a straightforward answer about what the difference is between the desktop and server editions of ubuntu? [16:29] bullgard4-> maybe its an additional package you have to install..google for it [16:29] bullgard4 powernowd is for amd cpus, right click the panel > add to panel > and add the CPU Frequency applet, that will show you if things are working as they should [16:29] juano__: I'll paste you mine, where does that file live? [16:30] how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable? [16:30] Kaje: desktop version is setup for a desktop, server setup has LAMP installed [16:30] Pici: /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg or /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg [16:30] Pici: try /etc/timidity first [16:30] kaje-> my straightforward answer, is one acts a server, serving services, the other is a typical client requesting services from the server..it doesnt mean a server cannot act as a client [16:30] I don't think the server edition has a graphical interface either [16:31] that's the only differences? [16:31] juano__: http://pastebin.com/f43b59b1b [16:31] kaje-> you may want to read and search yourself via google.. [16:31] hi.. quick question [16:31] thanks Pici [16:31] bulmer, I have, but all I've found is marketing hype [16:31] Is there some error going on with the servers? [16:31] Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe ident2 1.05-1 [16:31] 404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.3.82 80] [16:32] kaje-> we gave you the highlights, if you want more detailed you have to do your own reasearch [16:32] Pici: though its all commented [16:32] Pici... hmm [16:32] fmc-AmaG: I think that the de servers are having some issues, you might want to try a mirror [16:32] Pici: ok.. [16:32] what is the directory equivilant of "program files" [16:32] juano__: Heres the sourced file if you need it too: http://pastebin.com/f4644bbbc [16:32] Pici: aahh yes [16:32] Pici: Is there a tool to select a mirror? [16:32] CyberAgeVoodoo: short answser is .. there is none [16:32] mrsno: I have added an applet. The context menu explains: "Ondemand 600 MHz (33%)." Where is powernowd? [16:32] Hi guys. [16:32] Pici: there we go [16:32] fmc-AmaG: System>Administration>Software Sources [16:32] Pici: thanks [16:32] hello there guys [16:32] Could someone tell me how to defrag my HD? [16:32] usually in user/lib [16:32] juano__: sure thing [16:33] any good tutorial for ati [16:33] shit ... [16:33] jodde: Theres no reason to defrag ext3 drives [16:33] Pici: no x-server... it is ubuntu-server [16:33] ? [16:33] Really? [16:33] the cycles now went up by 14 in the last 5 minutes ... [16:33] That's cool! [16:33] hmm, little trouble over here... I just installed Urban Terror and tested it, everything is fine until the actual game starts, lots of artifacts and text is unreadable, could it be due to compiz ? is there an easy way to turn of compiz before starting a game ? [16:33] CyberAgeVoodoo: you have bin and lib directories so two programs will have their libs in same dir and executables in same bin dir. for instance do 'which firefox' and itll tell you path to firefox executable [16:33] Maybe that's why Linux is so much faster than Winblows. [16:33] I want to replace the azereus package I downloaded via get-apt with the one off the website. but it just opens as a folder and not an installer [16:34] !ati [16:34] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:34] burwaco: YOu can turn off compiz by typing metacity --replace & in a terminal [16:34] thanks pike [16:34] CyberAgeVoodoo, why not try Debian package manager? [16:34] Add it through add/remove apps. [16:34] vuze (azureus 3.0) does not have a deb [16:35] Whitor: and compiz --replace after that ? or isn't it that easy ? [16:35] well as far as I can tell [16:35] CyberAgeVoodoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529431 the package is kinda crappy for az i gather. personally id suggest you try deluge or another torrent client but look at this link might help [16:35] DPM works with gzips too. [16:35] noon all [16:35] how do i play my music bought fromt he itunes music store on ubuntu? [16:35] Anyone able to help with setting up a wireless card ?? [16:35] burwaco: and compiz --replace && emerald --replace & to bring it back [16:35] thanks [16:35] hmm, i was trying to install ubuntu using the normal desktop (via live cd) install, but with manual partitioning, i could not chose LVM, nor could i set a partition to bootable? [16:35] CyberAgeVoodoo: why don't you download it from here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122 [16:35] hi, If I try to send a message to the linux kernel developers, the mailer daemon complains that my e-mail contains HTML subpart's and that is considered spam (only plain text is accepted), what's that ? and how can I send only plain text ? [16:35] does anyone know why Ubuntu is trying to download non-existent package-lists which are not in my /etc/apt/sources.list ? [16:35] Pici: mmm... still isnt working, actually timidity is working fine, except my problem is that audacious plugin isnt working, it runs the midis but no sound [16:35] am i missing something or can it simply not be done with the normal cd? [16:35] http://.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-backports/Release.gpg: Could not resolve '.archive.ubuntu.com' [16:36] obviously there is no http://.archive.ubuntu.com, but still it is trying it several tiems [16:36] *times [16:36] compiz --replace && emerald --replace & << is that final & necessary ? don't I have to keep that terminal open then ? [16:36] chris7mas I already have that. [16:36] Whitor: compiz --replace && emerald --replace & << is that final & necessary ? don't I have to keep that terminal open then ? [16:36] thanks tho [16:36] Hi guys, don't kick me for this but how can I figure out if I should get a 32bit OS or 64bit? [16:36] how do i play my itunes music from ubuntu that has the drm that i paid for....?????? [16:36] ok [16:37] burwaco: the & tells it to run the command in background, meaning you can "exit" from the terminal and it will continue to run [16:37] Ar-Pharazon [16:37] sorry i use ktorrent [16:37] burwaco: that final & is necessary if you -don't want- to keep the window open ... leaving it off will tie the process to the terminal window [16:37] burwaco: do **not** close the terminal, using the [x] though. that will forcibly kill all processes running in the terminal. use "exit" or "logout" [16:37] Hello everyone, I was going to post this on the forums but I thought I'd stop by in the IRC channel and see if anyone can help me to a quick solution; is there a way to make the middle mouse button close a program on the taskbar? (I have read this has been asked on the forums in 2006, and also added to launchpad blueprints, and tabconsistency has been suggested by Mark on the wiki) [16:37] how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable? [16:37] i went with the 32bit one after problems with the java6 equiv for the 64b version [16:37] in GNOME, is there a way to increase the SIZE of the Notification Area (systray) icons? [16:38] CyberAgeVoodoo, sorry? [16:38] Whitor: Samus_Aran, ok I get it..., thx, I'm going to try ot out... [16:38] hello :) [16:38] how can I give a directory and it's sub folders/files permission? I know is chmod 777 .... [16:38] Hey, do you guys know if intel duo-cores are 16 or 32 bit? [16:38] chmod -r reya276 [16:38] reya276: what directory is it under your home dir? === fmc-AmaG is now known as AndreM [16:39] hey how to unhide folders command please === chris_ is now known as aie93 [16:39] Anybody know how to reinstall Ubuntu without killing /home? [16:39] Can anyone help me figure out whether I have a 32 bit or 64 bit processor? Please? [16:39] Sigh. Ubuntu won't work for me. [16:39] Chris7mas: the directory is joomla so I'm trying to do a web install and it is not letting me [16:39] Ar, what CPU do you have? [16:39] shishir: you can't "unhide" folders, but you can list them by doing "ls -a" [16:39] do you know the name of it? [16:40] how can i change a mounted read-only disk to writable? [16:40] Chris7mas: because all the sub folders and files and unwritable [16:40] Ar-Pharazon, what processor do you have? [16:40] Guerra, the sticker on my laptop says "Intel Centrino Duo". [16:40] does anyone know why on my laptop snd_rtctimer is locking /dev/rtc and it isn't on my desktop with an identical install of Gutsy? [16:40] reya276: just try chmod -r +rw dir [16:41] thanks [16:41] <3 [16:41] I'm trying to establish a VPN connection, but it doesn't work. I use pppd and it says it can't get reply for the server. Could someone help me? [16:41] reya276: 777 is a little generic and extream.. basically this is binary so you have 7 is you next 7 is your group perm and next is others perm if you ls -l youll see like --- --- --- so youve got 3 spots --1 is one 1-- is 4 111 is 7 so chmod 600 would do 11- --- --- and whatnot [16:41] Where's shuttleworth when you want to bug him? [16:41] riderrr: just re-mount it [16:41] abuteku [16:41] Ar-Pharazon, it's 32 bit. === Cy][aPb is now known as Cracker2 [16:41] does anyone know why on my laptop snd_rtctimer is locking /dev/rtc and it isn't on my desktop with an identical install of Gutsy? [16:42] what was the path to add a domain zone ? [16:42] ja und [16:42] Guerra: Thanks! [16:42] Enjoy.

[16:42] d [16:42] is it possible to force the ubuntu 7.1-live cd not to start into a x-desktop? [16:42] d [16:42] d [16:42] d [16:42] sladok13: Please stop that. [16:42] (into X, I mean ;) ) [16:43] trying to get ubuntu to read an external USB drive, but it is a no go [16:43] gryfie_: Try using the alternate image. [16:43] manchicken: that would depend on your current partitioning scheme [16:43] manchicken: why do you want a fresh install for a start? and secondly you can just re-install but keep the / intact or you can copy your /home to a memory stick or other hdd [16:43] gryfie_: you can try to make the /etc/init.d/gdm or kdm without executable permissions [16:43] joar: All on one partition. Didn't plan ahead very well :) [16:43] bloodnice, me too having same problem [16:43] anyone know if its possible to use LVM in the "normal" desktop cd 7.10? [16:43] manchicken: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome then just dont format home but tell the instlaler it is there [16:43] or you mean at the installation? [16:43] Chris7mas: rangeles@rangeles:~/public_html/web$ chmod -r +rw /joomla [16:43] chmod: cannot access `+rw': No such file or directory [16:43] chmod: cannot access `/joomla': No such file or directory [16:43] Okay, so I'm getting the "black screen" when I'm trying to install. I've checked the forums but it seems none of the solutions help. Any ideas anyone? Trying to install Gutsy [16:43] without the leading / [16:44] dmesg output: [ 157.138411] usb 5-3.3: device not accepting address 15, error -71 [16:44] chmod -r +rw joomla [16:44] aie93: Because I've been running this machine since Feisty, did a dist-upgrade when I was hacking for Gutsy, and now I'm getting all sorts of strange problems that nobody else can replicate. [16:44] Guerra: Are you using nVidia? [16:44] Chris7mas: ok let me try that [16:44] Chris7mas: At installation..... or to be more xact, when trying outr the live cd 1st time [16:44] Guerra: also check your usplash.conf file [16:44] ATI Sapphire HD2900 pro [16:44] manchicken: ok, you could solve that by creating you new home, copy current home to new home THEN reinstall, make sure you manually setup partitions and choose your new home as home.. [16:44] gryfie_: i think you need the alternate cd for that [16:44] how do I check the ussplash.conf ? [16:44] but not sure, didn't try it for some time [16:44] manchicken, maybe this is a suggestion; http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [16:44] Guerra: you can also add vga=791 to the boot line to get into some kind of display [16:44] Whitor: Samus_Aran, I switched to metacity and tested urban terror, same story, artifacts and text is unreadable, I think it's due to xgl, how can I start a session without xgl ? is it possible ? [16:44] How would one go back to the default gnome setup from install? I've messed up the desktop effects and now can't seem to get them back... === Yourname``4129 is now known as Yourname` [16:45] anyone? lvm with normal desktop cd? [16:45] Guerra: if you boot a recovery console from Grub or your install disk you can then mount your root drive and edit the usplash.conf from the command line. It's a known bug with Gutsy that this causes a blank screen. [16:45] burwaco: I was sceptical that compiz was the source of the issue.... but it was worth trying out... Compiz is pretty stable these days in the face of even OpenGl apps [16:45] Well, the thing is, I get the black screen, do ctrl alt F1 [16:45] manchicken: actually, that equals taking backup of home, reinstalling and doing a restore... not too elegant, but does the job [16:45] and then it still hangs [16:45] imscifi: log out of X, log in on a virtual console, then "rm -rf .gnome*"? [16:45] but with text on the screen [16:46] How long does it take to boot the first time? [16:46] I use a non UTF rxvt. Thererfore LANG=en_US.utf8 is not suitable. But, if I set LANG=en_US, perl & other programs start to complain that the locale is not installed. What should I install? [16:46] Guerra: a god tip to check if that is the issue is boot the computer and leave it 10 minutes, if ti boots then it's usplash.conf (it crashes after a while and carries on anyways) [16:46] So noone knows anything about VPN... It's a sad thing indeed. [16:46] mwest, I shall try that [16:46] Ilya: what about it? [16:46] brb [16:46] aie93, I left it on overnight and it was still stuck [16:46] where can i add a domain zone?! [16:46] first at the black screen [16:46] Interesting... this disk doesn't like my intel graphics... [16:46] imscifi: try moving all you .gnome directories from your home folder (don't delete, but move, you may wanna move them back) [16:46] Guerra: where does the screen go black? [16:46] bulmer: The DEB program package 'powernowd' is installed. Where is the powernowd daemon? [16:47] hallo [16:47] hi , i have 7.10 server installed . after a power failure some strange massages appear : " modprobe:warning L /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.save line 17 : ignoring bad line starting with ' etc/modprobe.d/aliases any solution ? my server doesn`t start anyway [16:47] jmd deutschsprachiges hier? [16:47] I can't remember the exact text sequence [16:47] bullgard4-> do a locate powernowd [16:47] Guerra: it starts to boot though? [16:47] Is there some sort of guide that tells you what files to modify to change your $PATH, and other things, in a clean way in Ubuntu? [16:47] Can someone help me troubleshoot an external USB drive? [16:47] aie93: i used diskmounter to mount it and tried to remount using the write option but it is still not letting me write to it [16:47] Well [16:47] it goes to install menu [16:47] Ilya: what is your question regarding vpn? [16:47] I know I can throw it in .bashrc or .profile, but what's the preferred place? [16:47] then gives me all this text or loading screen [16:47] Guerra: have you tried to boot into the (recovery mode) in the grub boot menu? [16:47] tried to establish a VPN connection. Used pppd. It says LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests in the end ^( [16:48] There is no recovery mode [16:48] And I do not know why ^( [16:48] bulmer: locate does not look for processes but for filenames only. [16:48] on the list [16:48] I'm a 100% linux noob. [16:48] Ilya: ah, i'm not familiar wiv the pppd kind, only ssl & to a certain extent ipsec [16:48] Well, not quite, used to use redhat, but I didn't have to install it. [16:48] haha [16:48] Guerra: are you trying to load the Live Image off a CD or have you actually installed the system? [16:48] bullgard4-> you were asking for where the file is? [16:48] I'm trying to install it. [16:48] off live CD [16:49] Core 2 duo, 64 bit version. Desktop [16:49] 7.10 [16:49] Guerra: Ah, right... Have you got the correct disc for your CPU? [16:49] with ATI/AMD 2900 vid card [16:49] coldboot: usually i just edit .bashrc and add a new value for PATH. easisest way might be to do an echo "export PATH=$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc then edit the .bashrc file [16:49] is there a termenal w/ predictive text [16:49] Ilya-> looks like the handshake during establishment of ppp is not quiet complete [16:49] Yes, 64 bit processor [16:49] anyone know if i can install lvm with the live cd? i can't find that option [16:49] Guerra: I have no idea if the 64-bit version of Ubuntu runs on 64-bit Intel... [16:49] where I can play movies in AVI format?? [16:49] bulmer: No I did ask why I cannot find the powernowd process (although the powerdnowd DEB program package is installed). [16:49] People have confirmed it does.

[16:50] Guerra: try the 32-bit version (it will work on 64 or 32 bit processors) or you can try the Alternative Install disc, that may help [16:50] how can i stop mounted removable media from showing on the desktop? [16:50] nixn00b: good question, but i have no idea :P [16:50] downloading alternate x86 right now [16:50] bulmer: well it's not handshake. I get no response form server at all. And I tried tcpdump -i eth0. It doesn't show anything [16:50] hopefully it works [16:50] bulmer: There is a legitimate alternative to ps. I used this alternative. [16:50] Guerra: hopefully that'll do the job... If not come back :D [16:50] would be nice to use all 64 bit though, I do animation. [16:51] and it helps quite a bit when rendering [16:51] In regards to USB: what does device not accepting address mean? [16:51] Ilya-> so you're saying the pppd is not even running yet? [16:52] Guerra: it depends on the applications you use, not all of them actually use all 64-bits and the AMD processors use their 64-bit functionality in 32-bit mode for integer maths, not sure about Intel, but it shouldn't make a huge difference [16:52] Sigh. If I ever become rich, I'm going to finance a linux only PC game. [16:52] Blender3d does [16:52] bloodneice: I wouldn't worry about that error, it happens all the time... doesn't stop it working. [16:52] My external USB drive is not recognized [16:53] aie93, what do you know about DX10 for linux? [16:53] bloodniece, what type of drive (cd, floppy, flash) [16:53] bloodniece: did you try and plug it in before the computer booted? On my laptop the USB breaks if I do that... [16:53] Guerra: no idea about DX10 on linux other than Cedega [16:53] webwolf_27: external sata to USB [16:53] hi, will 500mb be enough for installing? [16:54] aie93: both [16:54] ezguy: not likely [16:54] There is some team trying to work on it, but it seems it might be a scam for publicity and donations. [16:54] if you aren't doing some minimal install [16:54] what is the min size? [16:54] bulmer: I start pppd (pppd call connection debug nodetach). It sends packets to server. But server doesnt respond. [16:54] aie93: I should note, it has never worked [16:54] bloodniece, on gutsy? [16:54] bloodniece: have you tried any other devices? [16:54] yes, gutsy [16:55] yes, other devices work [16:55] sata drive works when attached to motherboard [16:55] Norrel? [16:55] 1gb? [16:55] ezguy: Install requires at least 4 GB of disk space. [16:55] bullgard4-> man pgrep [16:55] holly cow. [16:56] Anyone have experience with XP/Ubuntu/Vista triple booting? [16:56] ezguy: but I bet you can go with 500 megs if you use some minidistro [16:56] ezguy: like fluxbuntu [16:56] Ilya-> is the server in a remote location? [16:56] bloodniece: same category as my ENE Technology SD and MS reader then... useless for now :( [16:56] ok [16:56] aie93: chipset is Argosy Research, never heard of it [16:56] bloodniece, is the jumper removed from the drive before you put it into the usb [16:56] bulmer -> yes. I have no access to it. But I can ping it. [16:56] ezguy: xubuntu requires 1.5 G [16:57] webwolf_27: yes, it is unjumpered [16:57] can ubuntu work with swap placed in LVM? [16:57] got a prog with my mic: hearing myself through soundoutput, independent on running programs [16:57] Ilya-> well that can be a problem if you cant access the server...anyone on the other end to activate the pppd on it? [16:57] Can anybody suggest a BSD-licensed or public domain (basically non-copyleft) audio library? [16:57] how do i find the sourcecode of a package i installed ? [16:57] bloodniece, can you mount it by hand? [16:58] bloodniece: sorry, i haven't.. try submitting it to the device database, someone may write the driver for it then? [16:58] jorik808: usually by instaling the (packagename)-dev source package [16:58] PirateHead, heh, im starting to tweak with audio too [16:58] jorik808-> if you use synaptic does it give you the option to load the source? === _packetscan is now known as packetscan [16:58] webwolf_27: not sure, havent tried [16:58] jorik808: what library are you using? [16:58] bulmer -> no, but when I try to make this connection from windows it goes fine. So server obviously works. [16:58] I was wrong about Debian package manager handling gzips. [16:58] webwolf_27: where would it be in /dev/ ? [16:58] bloodniece, that would be my first suggestion [16:58] bulmer: You suggested a 3rd command. All three obtain the same result. Is it difficult for you to understand that there is no process 'powernowd'? Can you answer the question which I put at the outset or can you not? [16:58] Is there anything that will install gzips automatically? [16:59] PirateHead, i need to write my own code (it's for school), but iam looking at example source code here and there [16:59] Any scripts or anything? [16:59] bloodniece, dev/sd?? [16:59] how to get umlaute (äöü) working in the ubuntu shell (tty)? [16:59] jorik808: cool. [16:59] Also, does anyone know how I can get deatils on what processor I have? [16:59] iam thinking i will do the project in Haskell, generate LPCM and send it to /dev/dsp, but iam still looking for the excact formats i have to use [16:59] problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs [16:59] bullgard4-> i already told you, to find a running process you use ps, what are you really looking for? [17:00] Hi all. Does the smbprint.sysv script provided by samba come in ubuntu's package or do I need to grab their tarball if I need it? [17:00] can ubuntu work with swap placed in LVM? (ive read problems about hibernation etc) [17:00] jodde, cat /proc/cpuinfo [17:00] anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc [17:00] where can i add a domain zone?! [17:00] trying to mount by hand, brb [17:00] bullgard4-> and with an attitude like that, am not that enthusiastic to assist you [17:00] i also checked out LADSPA for some example code on how to do effects and such ... it's pretty much what i expected; but it's in c++ (YUK) [17:00] bulmer: I am looking for an answer on the question which I put at the outset. [17:00] bloodniece, ok [17:00] anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc === Kl4m-away is now known as kl4m [17:00] Vorondil: Looks like its in the samba-doc package, I dont know if the regular samba package uses it since we use upstart. === kl4m is now known as Kl4m [17:01] bullgard4-> can you repeat the question? lots of questions scrolled by [17:01] hi [17:02] Cflushsize = 64, does that mean my processors are 64 bit? [17:02] hi can someone pleaee point me in the right direction for installing new ubuntu [17:02] i wanted to know if there is any problem with the servers because i cant update [17:02] bulmer: The DEB program package 'powernowd' is installed. Where is the powernowd daemon? [17:02] Pici: Gotcha. For future reference, how did you look that up? [17:02] jeboz: www.ubuntu.com [17:02] how to get umlaute (äöü) working in the ubuntu shell (tty)? [17:02] snake_: I believe there is an issue with the de. servers. [17:02] Vorondil: apt-file search smbprint.sysv [17:02] xmladdict, i cant get the disk to load, its just a black screen [17:02] Pici: any server is down or just the de servers [17:02] inxane: hey...i found a bug on launchpad for the NikonD40 not working :D [17:02] im havin some problems installind kde4 from the repositories, i followed the instructions in kubuntu.org, but it didnt work. i dont have kde.desktop nor startkde in kde4 directory.. any idea? [17:03] jodde, I'm guessing yes [17:03] snake_: Just the de ones I think. [17:03] bullgard4-> we already established it is not running by using ps, now to find a file, you use locate or "find" [17:03] jeboz: you tried "safe graphics mode"? [17:03] may I uncompress Ubuntu DVD, add some debs and then make the new ISO? [17:03] unf: Have you asked in #kubuntu, they're better at the KDE questions. [17:03] ive even tried txt only mode [17:03] Pici: i got problems with all of them [17:03] bulmer -> no, but when I try to make this connection from windows it goes fine. So server obviously works. [17:03] soho: you could try this in a terminal '# apt-cache search locale | grep 'your nationality' [17:03] jeboz: maybe you should consider the "alternate" cd? [17:03] !locales | soho [17:03] soho: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [17:03] Pici: what do you have. what do you use so i can try them ? [17:03] Pici, yep, twice, but none answers me :( [17:03] bulmer: My impression is that we turn in circles. -- Thank you. [17:03] Pici: Nice! apt-file is my new best friend. Thanks. :) [17:03] problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs [17:03] xml i am using the alternate cd now, its the smae, [17:03] Im trying to delete songs on my iPod using Rhytmbox but it does not seem to really delete them becayse I dont get more space on the drive [17:03] jeboz: also, you may want to check if all your hardware works under linux [17:04] has anybody else tried to add kde and ended up with what seems to be the contents of kcontrol under apps/other in gnome? [17:04] anyone have any idea how to stop snd_rtctimer from locking /dev/rtc [17:04] Ilya-> do you know if the windows client first establishes a ppp link and then the vpn? [17:04] unf: You may have to relogin after you do that. [17:04] jeboz: at which point exactly do you get a black screen? [17:04] xml, it works under the older versions, even installs live cd but nothing works [17:04] snake_: I picked a mirror out of System>Administration>Software Sources [17:04] xml i get the black screen at startup [17:04] jeboz: try ctrl+alt+F1 [17:04] Pici: but are they sure theyr working ?? how can i try them [17:04] ?? [17:04] jeboz: if it works, it will get you a commandline [17:05] webwolf_27: any way to find out the filesystem? not sure if this one was ext3 or reiser [17:05] soho: install what ever hits you get related to language and your nationality (+ figure out if it's relevant for your system, e.g. install openofice locale if your using openoffice) ;) [17:05] bulmer -> have no idea :(. I use built - in client. [17:05] problem with microphone: hearing myself through boxes (without delay), independent on running programs [17:05] snake_: If you use the 'find fastest mirror' it will check them first. [17:05] hmm maybe a bit technical question but why does the updateer (feisty -> gutsty) update the font cache multiple times and not one time at the end [17:05] ok, found a solution to play the game...

[17:06] is there a way to force network manager to update? [17:07] matthias_: what do you mean ? you wanna turn off your mic ? [17:07] or is it the other way around + [17:07] Okay. [17:07] let me try again, is there a way to force network manager to update all of its IP and DNS settings? [17:07] bloodniece, do you know which one the drive is [17:07] bulmer -> tcpdump shows that nothing is sent outside, then I try to establish VPN. Maybe something stops packet wihich are sent by pppd? [17:07] I'm running Ubuntu as though it were using 32 bit processors. [17:07] bloodniece, brb [17:07] hi , i have 7.10 server installed . after a power failure some strange massages appear : " modprobe:warning L /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.save line 17 : ignoring bad line starting with ' etc/modprobe.d/aliases any solution ? my server doesn`t start anyway [17:08] Would I get more speed if I installed a 64 bit kernel?

[17:08] jodde: Only for extremely optimized math programs for the most part [17:09] Hello can anybody help me with vmware tools installation? [17:09] jodde: nothing else will be noticibly faster [17:09] Would it be more stable? [17:09] Or would graphics be faster/more stable? [17:09] jodde: No. [17:10] bulmer -> after ppp connection is established ppp0 interfacer should appear. And it doesn't. So I cant even establish ppp connection [17:10] ok.. very annoying.. how do I disable the screens and graphics section and just use manual mode.. I don't want an application modifying the settings for me [17:10] joar: dont wanna hear myself, but record my voice [17:10] jodde: there are more problems with 64bit than benefits [17:10] jodde: Some videos that worked before might not even worn on 64 bit [17:10] What about multitasking? [17:10] for skyping [17:10] /worn/work/ [17:10] jodde: zilch [17:10] joerack: are U running gutsy ? 'cause after upgrading to gutsy I got the same problem ...

[17:11] It keeps saying I'm banned from Dalnet =[ [17:11] No reason given [17:11] joerack: hmm, on my box it fails when compiling the network module [17:11] Thanks guys. [17:11] jodde: The only real problem with 32-bit is that the clock will tack back to 1970 at a certain second in 2038. [17:11] can anyone give me the default sources list for kubuntu gutsy ?? [17:11] bluekoala: do you expect us to know why? [17:11] /tick/ [17:11] Hey, do you guys know of any program to automatically install programs from gzips?

If it happens to be a comon problem [17:12] hi all [17:12] joerack: oki, have you downloaded it by .deb ? or source ? [17:12] We will all be on 512 Quantum computers by then [17:12] Thecks: I imagine some people running 8 and 16 bit OS's thought 32 bit would never come in handy [17:12] a bit OT, but i installed boa constructor on gutsy, and it seems that it does not have a way of importing xml files (there was a beta version that i used under feisty that did). does anyone know of a way to do this in gutsy? [17:12] Pici: Are you using xchat? [17:12] bluekoala: no, I am not. [17:12] Ahh [17:12] jodde, not by just replacing the kernal with a 64 bit [17:12] joerack: .deb would be 'sudo dpkg -i vmware-version.deb' [17:12] Thecks: Silicon will be outdated by then, maybe even optics, who knows [17:12] bloodniece, I'm back [17:13] joar: you're installing the emulator or the vmwaretools? [17:13] does anyone know how to choose which apt (package) mirror Ubuntu uses ? my Ubuntu seems to think that my default repo is "" (blank), so I am unable to upgrade to Gutsy [17:13] anyone here a slackware fan?

[17:14] Okay, so how do I use aptitude to install from a Gzip? [17:14] jodde: you dont. [17:14] snake_: I found a bug report on it. it seems like there is some sort of automatic country detection thing, but it is somewhat broken. I was hoping there was a way to override it by setting some config file [17:14] jodde, as far as I know you can't [17:14] That and what the hell is a supercow?

I am running Gutsy atm, and I truly enjoy playing Enemy Territory.. During these last few days I've been strugling with the ping issues.. The problem is that in about every 10 seconds a huge lag "spike" occurs which makes the playing almost impossible..

[17:30] I saw some intricate articles on the ubuntu forums, but they seemed out of date [17:30] limen, probably, you obviosly can use a hardware that the kernal can't talk to [17:30] uswsusp, is that software [17:31] ghost: yeah... s2ram, s2disk and s2both [17:31] in compiz, how do I enable the peek behind a window feature? the one where I can bend the window at the corner [17:31] debian?

[18:21] Hey, got a quick question before I install and was wondering if I could get some advice [18:21] what could generally be the problem? [18:21] damn wireless.. gott reboot [18:21] <_david_> ola [18:21] can someone help me with something... i am new to linux completely [18:21] bee1: what? [18:21] Sure, just ask. [18:22] I at all, who can tell me a name for free antivirus for ubuntu? [18:22] CubeXombi: ok, can't see any rt8185 modules there, thought maby rt = ralink chip, but misunderstood I think [18:22] I currently have the entire hard drive partitioned as a single NTFS partition for Windows - would you recommend I install partition magic and resize or just use the Ubuntu installer [18:22] what virus's are you trying to protect yourself from? [18:22] Nitro: you don't need one - see 'keeping my computer safe' under help and support in System. [18:22] bee1, please don't ask to ask... [18:22] DWells55, are you willing to lose all the data ? [18:22] DWells55: Either one should work, but I reccomend defragging first. [18:22] CubeXombi: anyway, those modules made my card stabile in feisty [18:22] Can anyone tell me where the default runlevel is specified in ubuntu? I'm used to inittab which seems to have gone the way of the dodo. [18:22] Nope, not willing to lose the data, want to set up a dual boot [18:22] james, 5 [18:23] padan: Not what it is, where it's specified. [18:23] bee1, just ask your question [18:23] padan: As in, which config file [18:23] ok thanks, i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and my wife wants to view video from abc.com. i installed flash but when i try to view videos with their "full episode" player it says it doesnt support my os [18:23] DWells55, then you want to backup your data first, as installing another OS, there is a possibility of losing that data [18:23] so i guess my question is... can i run firefox in windows mode or something to get this to work? [18:23] ok thanks [18:23] not a clue sorry [18:23] if vlc dont work, what could be the problem? [18:23] what is a good bittorrent client other than azureus? it keeps crashing on me [18:23] total n00bie here, i just installed (i think) swat, now how to i get it to run?? [18:23] DWells55, then you will want to use partition magic, you will want to setup partitions for linux, swap, and possibly /home [18:24] marfi: utorrent [18:24] bee1, did you install Flash or GNash? [18:24] <_mastro_> i've fglrx and my font really sucks.. i'm tring to correct monitor size to fix it but fglrx keep overriding my setting.. what can i do? [18:24] well i got it from adobe.com [18:24] Marfi, I'd say either ktorrent or deluge [18:24] im pretty sure its flash [18:25] then its flash..;) [18:25] ok :) [18:25] are there a way for disable the need for type in passw evry time I do admin taks synaptic and so on..? [18:25] flash is working [18:25] kane77, from what i remember with ktorrent, there isn't much of an interface. i like being able to look at what it is doing with azureus...is deluge like that? [18:25] alright, thanks neverblue. Do I necessarily need to set up the linux, swap, and boot partitions in Partition Magic, or can I just leave unallocated space and tell Ubuntu to use the largest free space [18:26] is it possible to remove bittorent completely ? [18:26] jannen, yes... & no.. it's not reccommended [18:26] marfi: utorrent is very good [18:26] DWells55, either or at that point [18:26] Marfi, look at what? peers? files? newer version of ktorrent can show details.. === JamesG_ is now known as JamesG [18:26] jannen: I think you want to edit the sudoers file. I maybe wrong. I don't use synaptic myself [18:26] Scunicy tell em the yes way?=) [18:26] *me [18:26] ill check it out. thanks yall! =) [18:26] Okay, this is strange... why isn't desktop effects showing up on this fresh install of Ubuntu? [18:26] burwaco, remove any .bittorrent folders, which will possibly contain the .torrent files [18:27] jannen, since I don't do it.. sorry, can't [18:27] can anyone tell me how I can set the default language for a user ? [18:27] Scunizi ok [18:27] . [18:27] neverblue: I mean apt-get remove bittorent... in previous releases it was impossible... [18:28] Thanks a ton, neverblue. Normally I'd have just tried it and dealt with whatever I did wrong, but this is my father's laptop. Nice to see Ubuntu has a solid community, keep it up.

[18:47] nasýlsýnýz [18:47] Well, first the screen flickers [18:47] as if it's changing resolution === KelebekTurkce224 is now known as HaYaLeT_18 [18:47] "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0. [18:47] Guerra when it's booting (orange bar?) [18:47] ALM [18:47] Jimdb : passport was c:nrfs, ext2, ext 3 now ntfs again [18:47] seLam [18:47] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop. isnt there a way to view third party applications and install them? [18:47] hello all! i have searched on-line documents for saving some personal settings on a usb drive but can't get it to work ... does anyone have any help i am using Ubuntu 7.10 liveCD [18:47] mmmmm [18:47] after the orange bar. Right after it says it's booting (text) [18:48] Guerra try something stupid, it might work (name plz) [18:48] bee1: from the Applications > Add/Remove or what? [18:48] Gigi, yes, sorry. Stupid like what? I've tried absolutely everything. [18:48] how can I start D-BUS again? [18:48] I can't get amarok started. When I type in terminal: amarok I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42930/ [18:48] kolby: hey cool! it's right there [18:48] looking_for_info, by default the LiveCD won't let you write to anything. I'm not certain what you have to do to enable writing but someone else surely does [18:48] Guerra sometimes the stupied thing works... turn of the comp completely, then disconect the monitor from the computer and from the A/C Leave it a couple of minutes, plug the monitor in the A/C and then in the computer. Then turn on the comp [18:48] nashu: under windows when you don't shut down properly it doesn't clear the flag that the drive was mounted properly. Under windows that's not an issue. but under linux if the ntfs volume has the flag it means you have to either force it or you have to reset the flag. [18:49] anyone here know how to get ipod touch working on ubuntu? [18:49] nashu: ....that the drive was unmounted* properly. [18:49] Guerra that worked for me once with an ongoing kernel panic, which is what you have [18:49] Gigi, I've actually done that already. Haha. Unplugged video card. [18:49] hi guys - can somebody help me patch my kernel source? just need to take a diff and turn it into a patch or just manually change the lines of code [18:49] Guerra even the card? [18:49] lol [18:49] mmmmmm [18:49] nashu: you using ntfs-3g? [18:50] bee1: yeah... to see more apps, I suggest clicking the thing by "show:" and choosing "All Available Applications" or "All Open Source" [18:50] the information about the bug and the diff is at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9179 [18:50] Gigi, okay so, orange bar going...flickering of screen to change res, Running local boot scripts... [18:50] dksaarth, a diff is a patch [18:50] guys! just found 3 instances of dbus-daemon 2.7 megs each [18:50] this one is hard guerra Did you made a clean installation? [18:50] dksaarth, 'man patch' [18:50] Jimdb : yes ntfs-3g I am using that [18:50] kolby: sweet! thanks! :) [18:50] Gigi, Yes. Formatted my HD, installed it. Now it gives me the same blue/grey screen of death. Saying Display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds... [18:50] Guerra did you erased the entire hard drive? Did you upgrade> What exactly did you do when installing it? Did the desktop live cd worked? [18:51] gnome-btdownload started to download now, but how can I make sure nat is ok ? [18:51] can someone help me set up my settings persistent? [18:51] bee1: anytime. Are you new to Ubuntu? [18:51] Jimdb: tried to reformat with gparted all the same [18:51] nashu: download the program, through synaptic, called ntfsprogs [18:51] I formatted my harddrive. Live CD did not work, so I used alternative text based install. [18:51] Jimdb: I can only write to it as root now [18:51] Guerra you was able to access to Ubuntu with the Live CD? [18:51] Gigi, No. [18:51] BERAT TARAVAR [18:51] j [18:51] kolby: this is the first time i have used linux of any flavor and just heard about it yesterday [18:51] so anyone use kalarm? i'm using it in gnome, is there a way to use audio files without kmix? it seems to want to use kmix for audio [18:51] Gigi, I used the alt CD [18:51] Jimdb : ok looking for it know [18:51] acuster: yeah thanks - but im not sure where i need to cut the diff out the above webpage ? could you take a quick read and tell me which one i need to do or if i must apply both [18:51] Guerra darn... you killed my chance... omg [18:51] bee1: lol. awesome. What IRC client are you using? [18:52] Guerra mmmm why do not download it again (desktop CD if possible) [18:52] kolby: pidgin [18:52] nashu: when you used ntfs-3g you were given the choice to mount it read only or read-write. You needed to specify read-write. [18:52] Gigi, dude. I have half a dozen ubuntu disks [18:52] Guerra it must be a problem when you installed... nothing else I can think... that error is common, but not a big deal... [18:52] Pidgin is cool. [18:52] Gigi, tried all, same problem. [18:52] Gigi, yeah well, I need a finite solution, or it's back to windows. [18:52] sigh. [18:53] bee1: alright [18:53] Guerra did you even run any Ubuntu on your pc? Why do not try the 7.04? Or even the 6.04 LTS [18:53] hey im new to linux too [18:53] nashu: notice the word "force" in this example. [18:53] /dev/sdc1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,force,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0 [18:53] bee1: well... there's more advanced ways to install apps too [18:53] Gigi, because I'm stubborn and must have 7.10 [18:53] Guerra: Did you check the MD5sum of the disc image? [18:53] Has anyone setup an all Linux office, simulating M$ Domain structure with centralised authentication and profile management. [18:53] kolby: yea... i figured its time to get familiar with bash [18:53] bee1: by advanced I mean complicated [18:53] Ebiggs, what do you mean? I checked the CD, verified it and all that. [18:53] Has anyone setup an all Linux office, simulating M$ Domain structure with centralised authentication and profile management and Linux clients. [18:53] Please! Multimedia keys.. doesn´t work... I want them! [18:53] just realised I also have installed a small prog ntfs-config with gnome interface, and effectively I can enable write support for internal/external ntfs [18:53] bee1: well, there's a gui tool too [18:54] Is there some way that I can make compiz add transparancy to all windows? [18:54] kolby: really? [18:54] bee1: yeah... [18:54] My issue has to do with display. [18:54] bee1: I'll find the menu path [18:54] Anyone get's an error running alsamixer? I do... [18:54] kolby: ok cool [18:54] nashu: yes, do so then look at your fstab and compare the entry to the example i pasted in a moment ago. [18:54] Guerra: Do you still have a windows installation with the iso? === dAndy_ is now known as dAndy [18:54] dksaarth, there's a lot going on in that web page; the first patch merely removes two lines from a file. [18:54] Jimdb: just realised I also have installed a small prog ntfs-config with gnome interface, and effectively I can enable write support for internal/external ntfs [18:54] Guerra err... why? It's cool to have the last one... but Ubuntu 1.0 is better than windows anyway haha Why not going on with the 6.04? You can write on NTFS as well if that is your deal (you just need to download a dependency) [18:54] There could be an error in the download itself. [18:54] does anybody know how to stop the desktop effects stuff from showing windows from all desktops on the taskbar [18:54] ? [18:54] Ebiggs, what do you mean? [18:54] nashu: yes, do so then look at your fstab and compare the entry to the example i pasted in a moment ago. [18:55] hello can someone please help me or at least point me to the right place for an answer? i want to save my settings on a usb drive while still running ubuntu from the liveCD [18:55] bee1: To install some things you need to use: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [18:55] dksaarth, try making a diff and a patch yourself on a tiny text file; you'll see how it works. [18:55] Ebiggs, no, linux disk is fine. It is a display problem. [18:55] Guerra he means, that the file is corrupt... that's why I told you to re-download it again from other link [18:55] Guerra err... why? It's cool to have the last one... but Ubuntu 1.0 is better than windows anyway haha Why not going on with the 6.04? You can write on NTFS as well if that is your deal (you just need to download a dependency) [18:55] I've seen many many with the same problem. [18:55] Just do an MD5sum check...I'm getting a link for you... [18:55] I downloaded it from a TORRENT, there are no issues with the disk. [18:55] Jimdb: pasted you on private my fstab [18:55] !verify | Ebiggs [18:55] THe problem is 100% display. [18:55] hm [18:55] thanks acuster, i didn't realise that you could feed a patch in with garbage ahead and trailing - ill play around [18:55] Ebiggs: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:55] Guerra who knows... download it from the Ubuntu main page [18:55] Anyone? [18:55] nashu: don't use my example. just look at the part that says "force" [18:56] Yeah...go where ubotu just pointed. [18:56] Tried that too, Gigi [18:56] Sigh [18:56] Guerra previous versions? [18:56] Guerra a previous one might work man [18:56] Ideally, I'd like to get Gutsy working. [18:56] Jimdb: can you see any message from me on private? [18:56] hello guys [18:56] nashu: no private messages [18:56] Else I'll just go back to windows till it's fixed. [18:57] bee1: still there? [18:57] Guerra, was this a clean install? [18:57] nashu: it didn't come through [18:57] kolby: wow. is this everything? open source and all? [18:57] Guerra sometimes... weird things happens... what do you prefer. Windows or Ubuntu 6.04? Easy question... [18:57] may i ask something? [18:57] Ebiggs, Yes. Formatted HD. Pure clean. [18:57] can I paste it in here? [18:57] can't make kernel config [18:57] bee1: ummm... that depends on what you have enabled. [18:57] hey anyone know how to get ipod touch to work on ubuntu 7.10? [18:57] i am new here.... [18:57] euh, stupid question, but what do I need to open a rar archive ? [18:57] kolby: right on [18:57] Maybe try an upgrade from 7.04 if you are desperate. [18:57] Kolby: lol [18:57] missing config.h [18:57] bee1: I'll give you tips on that soon [18:57] Gigi, probably windows. Generally I use SuSe or redhat, never had these issues before though. [18:57] kolby: ok [18:58] and my friend swears by gutsy... so... [18:58] Ebiggs i asked all of that to him already... seems to be a problem on the CD or a weird problem [18:58] Jimdb: ca I paste it in here? [18:58] bee1: do you have an MSN account or something we can chat on? [18:58] bee1: I'll give you my address [18:58] Guerra why? My old laptop has 6.04 and it's better than windows lol [18:58] What is the video card? [18:58] No no, my issue has to do with the DISPLAY. either my video card or my monitor [18:58] kolby: ok cool [18:58] before installing ubuntu i must do a linux partition such as ext2 with partition magic ? [18:58] kolby: yes i do [18:58] 2900 xt, ATI [18:58] Guerra: What video card do you have? [18:58] bee1: kolbyheacock@hotmail.com [18:58] o_dilie}{: No, the installer has a built in partioning program [18:59] Pici he has an ATI but I do have one as well... the problem is common, but mine was gone with a reboot [18:59] oki 10x [18:59] can you all see me typing? [18:59] windego40: yes. [18:59] kolby, publically logged channel... probably best not to post email addresses [18:59] You have the exact same card, Gigi? [18:59] pici...tell me [18:59] windego: have you looked into gtkpod or hipo ipod management tool? [18:59] he has the same graphic card than me, and I'm running Ubuntu [18:59] PriceChild: I know... but what can you do? [18:59] 7.10 [18:59] o_dilie}{: Tell you what?

[18:59] Gigi, you use alt or alive? what cpu and mobo? [18:59] live* [19:00] is it possible to replace gutsy's archive manager by 7zip ? [19:00] kolby, obscure it.... foo at bar , com etc. [19:00] rob3r: im on it [19:00] Pici: your email will be caught by spambots. ... [19:00] guerra did you try to rebuild your xorg.conf? Can you get to a command line? [19:00] why when i have tried to install the ubuntu my cpu stopped at caldera DR-DOS? [19:00] kemik_: not mine.

[19:00] and I can't find xorg.conf [19:00] Guerra alive - CPU Core Duo 2.0 (also I have the problem of the "Cannon alocate..." but it's fixed as well. [19:00] i do not know what to do further [19:00] PriceChild: lol. yeah... that's true [19:00] Man, I have core 2 also [19:00] Guerra I got it!!!!!!!! [19:00] Guerra I got it!!!!!!!!

[19:01] guerra you might try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [19:01] Guerra by that way, you can access to the xorg.conf [19:01] this is what the computer show me when i have tried to install it... [19:01] Sorry Pici... It's a bad habit of mine. Don't mean to spam. I'll try to keep it all in one long winded text. [19:01] but i do not remember if it was ubuntu or mandriva :((((( [19:02] quid: I've tried that. It didn't work. How Gigi? [19:02] Guerra if you speak to dif persons, you may use enter :) [19:03] Guerra with sudo [19:03] Gigi, haha yeah. Hmm. What is the default root password? [19:03] Guerra enter this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" without the quotations [19:03] !sudo | Guerra [19:03] Guerra: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

It says "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot" HELP [19:06] Guerra it might not work, but it will suggest something similar... so then do it [19:06] relientkirsh: you need to install compiz manager through synaptic [19:06] i changed the refresh rate on my monitor settings from 60 to 75 to try running the quake wars enemy territory demo and now when i boot I have an error message saying its out of range. can i just edit my xorg.conf and adjust the horizonal and vertical refresh rates?

It's kinda weird whats happening to him... I'm out of ideas [19:08] hello [19:08] marc2: Where are you looking for it? [19:08] * Marfi waves [19:08] well I think it is workin [19:08] anyone knows Why I cannot mount/umount via gnome Disc Mounter aplet my USB keys? [19:08] frojnd: you're using dual screens? [19:08] hi. I just upgraded to gutsy, and I've been bitten by the autofs startup bug (must restart it manually in order to login -- my home is on another server). anyone knows of a workaround? [19:08] I need a hand trying to fix this installation. Booting to a command line only, the previous line is "kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." Help please [19:09] I need of .iso Ubuntu SERVER, someone has the link [19:09] gigi I don't know. Guerra needs xserver installed for dpkg-reconfigure etc to work...

[19:09] but when I tried to configure System > Preferences > [19:09] MilitantPotato, not yet, but I intend to since on lappy I only have 15" [19:09] quidpro yep...

I just had a large amount of text scroll the screen before the logon screen appeared. [19:09] Pici, this same as ubuntu server? [19:10] marc2: System>Preferences>Appearance last tab, there is not custom button? [19:10] PICI what am I doing wrong [19:10] netcatc: no, its not, you need to use the server edition radio button. [19:10] frojnd: are you using the ati proprietary drivers from synaptic or are you compiling your own? [19:10] Hi, I'm having some problems with my apache server. I can connect to it through localhost, but not from the outside [19:10] How can I setup wine from a launch menu? Like if it needs to launch something from a prompt. The only thing I can think of is through gnome-terminal. I just don't know how to make something execute when gnome-terminal is the command. For instance, "IF" I wanted to launch gedit from a terminal by clicking, can I use something like this for the menu command: gnome-terminal > gedit ? [19:10] Lockzi: did you open ports in your router? [19:11] PICI yes there is the custom but after click nothing showed up [19:11] Sigh. [19:11] Lockzi: You need to forward port 80 using your router. Also some routers down allow loopback connections, eg: connecting to your outside ip from inside your network. [19:11] Having problems booting after upgrade. I get a command line because there is "no resume image". Any ideas? [19:11] MilitantPotato, I've tryed to compile my own but it didn't go through... So I'm tryong to uses ati proprietary drivers [19:11] PICI I'm running 7.10 out of the box [19:11] marc2: If you run ccsm from a terminal, do any errors come up?

[19:11] MilitantPotato, I'm using a dedicated server from vectoral. I'm trying to set up a seedbox. I've also installed webmin which I can connect to through port 10000 [19:11] anyone know how to install java on a remote server using the command line for ubuntu 6.06? [19:11] whats wrong? [19:12] marc2: I had the same problem uninstall compiz manager with synaptic then reinstall fixed it for me [19:12] !webmin [19:12] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [19:12] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [19:12] echo...

[19:13] !fsck [19:13] hello people [19:13] frojnd: follow this guide [19:13] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [19:13] hey I need application for converting between video formats [19:14] blackaardvak: hello [19:14] d90: devede [19:14] MilitantPotato: Even if it's no longer supported, it's strange that that's the only thing that I can connect to through the outside? I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, is there any default firewall blocking settings in the OS itself? [19:14] what do i need for playing xvid and avi files in gutsy? [19:14] thanks uboutu ;) [19:14] !torrentflux [19:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about torrentflux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:14] i've just upgraded [19:14] !codecs > blackaardvak (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:14] blackaardvak the media player should detect that it needs it. Just run the video and it will prompt you [19:15] thanks ubotu [19:15] now I'm getting "Couldn't find package compiz-fusion-settings-manager" [19:15] Lockzi: I've honestly no idea, I'm sorry [19:15] blackaardvak if not... download vlc That one works fine always [19:15] Lockzi: have you tried #networking ?

It will be fine yep [19:21] Is there a linux program that is equivalent to deamon tools? [19:21] Philip_H: [19:22] Guerra: Split it between root, home, and swap (equal to your amount of RAM). Root and Home should be ext3, swap is swap. [19:22] militantpotato, i was on openbox at the time, i started it and was told my monitor was out of range, so i went to gnome, change the refresh rate and now i can't even start ubuntu as it tells me my monitor is out of range [19:22] westjd, gisomount [19:22] tronyx: oops.

[19:26] Guerra: Create a 2GB swap partition at the end of the drive, then split the rest about 50/50. [19:26] militantpotato did you change anything other than the horizontal and vertial refresh rates? i'm on windows currently so it's not so easy to replace the whole file [19:26] Or less for Root if you want, whichever.

[19:52] j0hn: If you want to drag and drop as root... start the program oyu are dragging from as root (sudo) [19:52] oficina: You might want to look around gnome-look.org [19:52] snsone, and ? [19:52] oficina: But I prefer things looking like Ubuntu :) [19:52] Well, I can't do anything right now. I'm reinstalling. SIgh. [19:52] I've got a 160GB IDE Seagate drive in a USB external enclosure, plug it in, and i get a "scsi 7:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" in dmesg. Nothing in blkid, etc. Any one have any ideas? [19:52] guerra oh right. heh [19:53] Sorry. [19:53] why are mpgs black and white on my computer [19:53] So no one has any other suggestions besides "obtain the item you cannot obtain within the next four hours, despite needing it in that timeframe"? [19:53] people anyone knows about the bug that probably ubuntu is killing the hard drives of notebooks? [19:53] me too, it's not my machine, I'm just the one who must do it. [19:53] can you help me installing the EXperience gtk engine? [19:53] frederick85: What are mpgs [19:53] neverblue: and the speed decresed more then 5 times since gutsy was installed (i download now with 3 kb/s) [19:53] how do i apt-get wine? [19:53] How do you set a network group in ubuntu? example workgroup, mshome in windows [19:54] snsone, download using what ? [19:54] i cant find it anyware? [19:54] Anyone know anything about hardware RAID? [19:54] rukuartic: just ask your question [19:54] Sigh. All the gutsy reviews were such BS about it being so easy to install. [19:54] timposey: Network groups -- as far as I know -- don't exist in ubuntu... [19:54] User friendly my ass. [19:54] thank you [19:54] neverblue: firefox [19:54] !language [19:54] Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [19:54] Guerra: which motherboard do you have? [19:54] Sorry. [19:54] MSI Platinum 975x V.2 PowerUp edition. [19:54] snsone, and in another browser? [19:54] rukuartic: well that explains why I can't find it... so how do you interface within a mixed network? [19:55] squee: Ah... I'm just not quite sure about how hardware raid works. If I create a hardware raid through the BIOS, should it show up as /dev/md0 or something? [19:55] I've never had a smooth install on an MSI motherboard for Linux ... heh [19:55] C2D e6400 cpu [19:55] a9909: what? [19:55] snsone, have you tried to download something in firefox, or just surfing ? [19:55] neverblue:but that's not relevant..it's slow everywhere (pidgin,updater,etc) [19:55] timposey: You're probably wanting something called "Samba" [19:55] Guys please.. Is wine blacklisted or why cant i find it? [19:55] snsone, ping www.google.com [19:55] sekas [19:55] timposey: I've set it up once or twice... But I've never been any good with it. [19:55] quidpro, sorry, I just have a really dumb situation here where I can't get my hands on a Gutsy CD, and I've lost my feisty CD, so all I have is Hoary ... and I want to dist-upgrade it :) [19:55] Guerra: I got MSI K9N diamond [19:55] you need to see the tutorial on the site of wine [19:55] so I want a legacy hoary mirror for my sources.list :) [19:55] snsone, good luck, cannot help you anymore [19:56] it's probably motherboard related ... [19:56] ambro, I think it's a display issue [19:56] neverblue: 15 packets transmitted, 13 received, 13% packet loss, time 14039ms [19:56] rukuartic: It depends on the raid card on the motherboard. If done correctly through hardware it should show up as one device I believe. [19:56] a9909: thats... IMO I don't know if thats a good idea. [19:56] sekas: you need to update the list ou apt-get servers [19:56] although my friend said his 8800 worked perfect [19:56] sekas you tried apt-get install wine? [19:56] Oki [19:56] =) [19:56] Ja [19:56] squee: Yeah... I'm not sure what it should show up as though. I looked around in /dev and didn't see anything... [19:56] squee: Do you think it could be one of these things like a software modem? It just doesn't work? [19:56] sekas: on the site of winehq exlpain easly ;) go head [19:56] rukuartic, I said it was dumb :) I just wanted to try ... I mean, it's something that FreeBSD can do ... [19:57] and I already spent the hour and fifteen minutes to get Hoary installed [19:57] E: Package wine has no installation candidate [19:57] rukuartic: maybe your raid card isn't supported [19:57] shit,.. thanks guys =) [19:57] (Would have been faster, but I had to do it twice :)) [19:57] I'm running Ubuntu in command line mode. How shold I tweak my system to get my external CD-drive and my external harddisks automounted? [19:57] rukuartic: thanks I'll take a look and try that.. [19:57] snsone, have a router ? [19:58] Hello [19:58] timposey: What exactly are you planning to do? Out of interest... Small scale home/home office, or enterprise? [19:58] JoseLuis: Hey :) [19:58] rukuartic: You could try using it as a normal sata card and then doing a software raid through linux. It wont be as fast but is much more likely to work [19:58] sekas go here: www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [19:58] =) [19:58] rukuartic: Hello [19:58] after upgrading to gutsy, totem lost its ability to play mp3s, how do i get it back? [19:58] Sonderblade you need to install codecs [19:58] yes, small office, some windows computers and some ubuntu [19:58] squee: Yeah it works as a normal card but if the hardware raid won't work I'll just return it and get a 15 buck card instead of a 50 buck one =P [19:59] rukuartic: yes, small office, some windows computers and some ubuntu [19:59] Sigh. Damned penguin Gods. [19:59] SevenSeth: is there a gui or apt-get command for that? [19:59] help to install dvd reader for kaffeine? [19:59] timposey: Ah... yeah. As far as I know... once you get it set up, if you want to have user access you need to have duplicate usernames on the Ubuntu box [19:59] rukuartic: that might be your best bet. look for a good chipset online first [19:59] timposey: But like I said, I'm no guru. [19:59] Sonderblade yes, go to Add/Remove e search for mp3 codec [19:59] squee: Yeah... :( I don't have quite too much money to blow on it so... [19:59] neverblue: server downstairs (i don't own it).but that's all i can tell.i'm not that wise with these.all i know is that internet is going through the server downstairs then through some switches then into my computer [20:00] does anybody know this? amdcccle complaining abt, libGL.so ? [20:00] rukuartic: Thanks [20:00] rukuartic: newegg.com is cheap [20:00] Sonderblade you need to search on all avaible applications [20:00] Sonderblade change it on the top right corner [20:00] snsone, might want to look at a possible hardware issue [20:00] guys, anyone read the bug the ubuntu is killing the HDD of notebooks? [20:01] no [20:01] Yeah. [20:01] its important [20:01] ? [20:01] i don't use ubuntu, i use kubuntu [20:01] It aggressively spins the notebook drive, due to poor power management. [20:01] SevenSeth: better than windows killing my soul.... :-D [20:01] SevenSeth: Yes, there are simple fixes out there though [20:01] Guerra you did something???? [20:02] Me? [20:02] squee were??? [20:02] SevenSeth: Lemme find one [20:02] Guerra is, you installed some bug fix ? [20:02] I'm on my laptop, waiting for my beastly desktop to finish installing gutsy [20:02] No [20:02] hello [20:02] squee if i'm here asking help is because i already searched [20:03] :/ [20:03] SevenSeth: http://ubuntudemon.wordpress.com/ === Tarkus_ is now known as Tarkus [20:03] SevenSeth: i installed that package, totem still refuses [20:03] every time I start ubuntu I have to modprobe ndiswrapper [20:03] what shall I do to run this command during startup? [20:03] squee: yeah, it doesn't seem to recognize. [20:03] neverblue: in windows its working normally but i dont use windows.since its full of errors.anyway i'm sure it's not i had a previous release of ubuntu since last week.internet was working very good.then installed ubuntu gutsy and noticed that the dns's where reseting every 10 min.i managed to do that and then after i got them working, i noticed that the internet was going really slow [20:03] squee i already saw that site [20:03] What is the difference between the files /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.0 ? [20:03] hello do you have regul string for web adress? [20:03] i can i remove +x permission just to file (and leave it to directories) [20:03] squee they don't garantee anything! [20:03] how can i remove +x permission just to file (and leave it to directories)? [20:04] valemon: If I remember correctly, there should be a command in ndis wrapper to do that [20:04] valemon: try "man ndiswrapper" [20:04] snsone, ok, well, in that case, I would say its your network card driver [20:04] ruluartic thanks I will check this [20:04] i wont http://(www|[a-z0-9...]+)\.|[a-z0-9...]+.(cz,com,org,co,uk) ... [20:04] want [20:05] SevenSeth: Hold on lemme find the command to fix it [20:05] how do I check if I am running LILO? [20:05] snsone, try another web broswer, as well [20:05] squee why you cal [20:06] squee why you call someone lemme when i'm just getting help? [20:06] buh! [20:06] PhotoPrint unable to print photos, i am using HP PSC 1400 printer. [20:07] SevenSeth: ?? "Let me find the correct answer" if that is better [20:07] man, joins and parts in this channel kill you [20:07] What is the difference between the files /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.0 ? [20:07] Hi guys i want to watch internetTv does it just work with Realplayer or Mediaplayer or is it possible with another player too? [20:07] SevenSeth: https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html [20:07] Ricket, look @ the timestamp [20:07] Is Sun's Java still in the repos for Ubuntu 7.10? I'm only seeing version 1.4 ... [20:08] hello [20:08] how to add a puppy linux installed just now to grub [20:08] Hey All! [20:08] squee i already saw that site many times!! no garantees... [20:08] robin1900: Hey :) [20:08] Is it ok if I ask a few noob questions...? [20:09] robin1900: Thats what we're here for :) [20:09] My app is abort()ing but not getting a core dump. ulimit -c unlimited was used. Where does Ubuntu determine what signals do? (SIGABORT in this case) [20:09] !ask | robin1900 [20:09] robin1900: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [20:09] SevenSeth: That is the official bug fix for it, I dont know what to tell you other than that [20:09] Peaker_: Oh! I had this problem before. Hold on. [20:09] Peaker_, try in #linux possibly ? [20:09] Is there a way to edit the Places menu bar? [20:09] neverblue: the timestamp has been altered... by me... do you know the difference and were just getting me to discover it on my own? please just tell me... [20:09] or I discovered something new I never discovered within almost 4 years of Ubuntu... or is something new on Ubuntu Gutsy [20:10] squee but on you, this solution worked? [20:10] Ricket, the .0 is 'older' than the .log [20:10] SevenSeth: I didn't have a problem with it [20:10] please help me someone i installed puppylinux on a windowsxp ubuntu dual boot system now i should add it to grub list how to add it?? [20:10] neverblue: ok, thanks [20:10] ArrPirate, adding, or just removal ? [20:10] a non maximized Window, can share two desktops, I mean, you put it on the corner and half can be in desktop 3 and half in desktop 4 [20:10] Just wondering if ubuntu managed using policy management [20:10] does anyone know if Thunderbird or Lightning supports Free/Busy for calendar info? [20:10] squee you used smartmontools to verify if you have this problem? [20:11] jthomas: google could probably tell you the answer, i don't know it (never heard of it) but google's good for things like that [20:11] jthomas, ask on the mozilla network? /server irc.mozilla.org /join #thunderbird [20:11] SevenSeth: Yes [20:11] Peaker_: Did you relogin after changing the thing in /etc/settings/limits.conf ? [20:11] hi i'm having a problem with a new 7.10 install... i'm sli with two 7800 GT's... my xorg.conf is using the nv driver.. i can get into the welcome/login screen fine.. but when i log in, the system locks up when it seems like it's trying to load the desktop wallpaper... also.. tweaking the language or session settings in the welcome screen causes the system to lock up as well [20:11] rukuartic, does that not get overrided by the ulimit -c? [20:11] Ricket not finding anything on Google with a definitive answer... thanks neverblue will try it [20:11] any thoughts? it looks like a window will try to render, but it comes out as garbage and then the system locks up [20:11] Just wondering if ubuntu managed using policy management [20:12] I've got a weird video problem totem and vlc through wine play the video fine but the colors look like this: http://szkud.net/sa/color.png and vlc in ubuntu, and mplayer have no problems with the color but the video is extremely choppy [20:12] Peaker_: It should have been, I'm not _that_ much of a code guru. :( [20:12] squee on my notebook in 10 min 5 cycles was incremented...and i ask you if comparing with you is a lot? [20:12] Peaker_: Its just an idea [20:12] anyone using a macbook and got his keyboard behave more or less the same way as under OSX (shift+alt+L for the | , alt+N for the ~ , command+tab instead of alt+tab ...)? [20:12] I mean: Can ubuntu be managed using policy management [20:12] Kinda Like Group Policy in Windows? [20:12] Silly question, how do I delete a file in the terminal? [20:12] ... if so i'd like to see your xorg.conf :) [20:13] rukuartic, I think all /etc/settings/limits.conf does is call ulimit, so if I call it locally it should work [20:13] Lockzi: rm [20:13] Lockzi, type "man rm" in the terminal [20:13] hi! i am thinking about upgrading to 7.10, my computer has amd64 processor. which is better? upgrading or fresh install? any advice/pointers would be helpful. [20:13] SevenSeth: Let me see what mine is [20:13] hey I like ubuntu, I have an ubuntu server holding 300GB of HD movies and music, and I just got ahold of another computer (currently windows), that I want to hook up to my TV and use it as a device to watch my movies and music off my ubuntu server and in the future record tv and stuff (yet save the recorded tv to the server).. where should I start? [20:13] SevenSeth: By the way, does "lemme" mean something offensive? [20:13] ubuntu-user100: fresh install is always great, but there's the hastle of moving the files. [20:13] orbstra: look around for MythTV [20:14] Peaker_: Did you logout/login after changing them? [20:14] squee i thought yes, but if was not you attention i'm sorry ;) [20:14] I looked into it, from a glance I didn't like it too much.. I was hoping for more of a Mac Frontrow interface [20:14] ubuntu-user100, if you've been using lots of stuff like automatix etc i can see that upgrading can cause a problem. i did a fresh install myself as i thought it was about time anyways [20:14] rukuartic: thanks [20:14] http://www.theonion.com/content/node/27460 [20:14] SevenSeth: lemme is sort of an onamatopoeia for "let me" :) [20:14] SevenSeth: Short for "let me", I didn't know it could be used offensively [20:15] squee my apologies =) [20:15] well i guess not an onamatopoeia but ... you know. slang... or something. [20:15] sorry everyone [20:16] orbstra: Heh -- Linux is an eternal battle from awesome computer things and terrible interfaces. [20:16] but i'm very worried about this problem [20:16] if you get a message that sayd: "The Composite extension is not available" when you enable visual effects its just because you haven't installed "xserver-xorg" right? [20:16] but they're getting better. [20:16] i don't want loose my hdd [20:16] I've got a weird video problem totem and vlc through wine play the video fine but the colors look like this: http://szkud.net/sa/color.png and vlc in ubuntu, and mplayer have no problems with the color but the video is extremely choppy. any recommendations? [20:16] hello hello [20:16] ruratic what would you suggest... mth TV seems primarily for DVR, i just want tat as a feature on the side for the future [20:16] can someone help me? [20:16] cleaton: thanks [20:17] kolby, with what ? [20:17] szkud: haha... ...wow that is nasty [20:17] if you get a message that sayd: "The Composite extension is not available" when you enable visual effects its just because you haven't installed "xserver-xorg" right? [20:17] szkud: no idea man :( sorry... [20:17] SevenSeth: 5 cycles in 10 minutes isn't that bad, I wouldn't worry that much about it [20:17] SevenSeth, have you tried any of the sugestions on launchpad? [20:17] How can I list all installed program from apt-get? [20:17] burwaco: it's an ATI card issue I think [20:17] SevenSeth: whats your issue? [20:17] SevenSeth: But if you are still concerned, try what was on the launchpad page [20:17] Lockzi: dpkg -l | less [20:17] yeah [20:17] but [20:17] rukuartic, cheers [20:17] kolby, what ati card do you have, and what's the problem ? [20:18] by default laptop-mode is disabled [20:18] Lockzi: no problem... also try "apt-cache search " if you're looking for something. [20:18] burwaco: it's an x1300 ATI I think [20:18] yeah [20:18] so even this mode is disabled this continues to get very agressive to hdd??? [20:18] kolby, problem ? [20:18] SvenSeth, it's in the firmare/bios [20:19] I have couple of folders, how would I copy content of all of those folders to different folder? (in other words merge the content of those folders) [20:19] when I go to System > Preferences > Appearance, and select anything but "none" for visual effects it gives me an error message [20:19] how do i use my power buttun with APM? [20:19] My DVD drive is acknowledged by the OS, but I can't watch DVD's -- I've tried Mplayer, Movieplayer, VLC, and Totem, all to no avail. Could someone help me troubleshoot? [20:19] Sitting_Duck: I think you need to install some restricted codecs... === Gunirus is now known as [Gunirus] [20:19] SvenSeth, the manufactor has probably put to aggressive power management in the firmware [20:20] kolby, you get composite not available or something like that ? [20:20] rukuartic: Could you point me in the right direction, please? [20:20] burwaco: exactly [20:20] cleaton but you was affected about the same problem? === [Gunirus] is now known as Gunirus [20:20] Sitting_Duck: Long and short, MPAA doesn't trust people who legally buy DVD's so you can't 'legally' play them in linux [20:20] Sitting_Duck: but you still can do it... hold on a sec. [20:20] Sitting_Duck: I think its libdecss or something... [20:20] kolby, do you use the restricted ati driver ? [20:20] yep [20:20] rukuartic: Gotta love the MPAA. [20:20] SvenSeth, i don't know i didn't check when i had a laptop, im on a desktop now [20:21] yay riotkittie [20:21] is there a test repo like sid is to debian? [20:21] rukuartic, I'm also having some problems with my apt-get! It says "some index files failed to download" when doing an update. After a couple of tries it goes through though... Any idea? [20:21] kolby, did you install xserver-xgl ? [20:21] Sitting_Duck: I think the package name is ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:21] burwaco: nope [20:21] .... [20:21] .... [20:21] that was the problem [20:21] Lockzi: Sorry... no idea. There might be an issue with the servers -- or your connection to them. [20:21] kolby, hold on, I'll walk you trough it... [20:21] squee but i supose that this problem happens when laptop-mode is enabled...right? [20:21] SevenSeth, i think you can overide the firmware/bios settings using hdparm [20:21] rukuartic: I already have that installed [20:21] Hey all... again [20:22] guerrayou done yet? :) [20:22] SevenSeth, you have enabeled laptop-mode? [20:22] Sitting_Duck: AHA https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [20:22] cleaton i think not , i didn't change anything [20:22] burwaco: type in "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and then restart X? [20:22] where is the default firefox plugin flder? [20:22] is there an easy way to get the eth0 IP address through a shell script (to save in a variable)? [20:23] docubaseTech: Do you know about grep? [20:23] nottoomuch [20:23] rukuartic: I've already followed that, but I'll reread it. [20:23] docubaseTech: cut? pipes? hold on a sec [20:23] kolby, yes and install compiz manager too [20:23] cleaton but using hdparm -B 255 is the solution? [20:23] I am wanting to create a Ubuntu domain however, I am only familier with Active Directory & Group Policy Management.... can anyone suggest a good starting point to begin with? [20:23] SevenSeth: As far as I know yes [20:23] google has been less then helpful! [20:23] burwaco: awesome. I've just been using the wrong command [20:24] docubaseTech: ifconfig eth0 | grep inet\ addr | cut -d \: -f 2 | cut -d \ -f 1 [20:24] SevenSeth, i think that should disable any powermanegment on the disk [20:24] burwaco: thanks so much [20:24] that's what they sugested on launchpad right? [20:24] CubeXombi, try /home/USERNAMEHERE/.mozilla/plugins [20:24] kolby, install compiz manager too [20:24] burwaco: I have to? [20:24] robin1900: Gah... that stuff isn't fun. [20:24] robin1900: Are you looking to set Ubuntu up as a domain controller? [20:24] sweet...thanks... [20:25] docubaseTech: you want me to explain the syntax? [20:25] hi there ppl. im having a problem: standby does work with gutsy live-cd, but not with an installed gutsy. What can be the problem here ? [20:25] now to save in variable i can do varname=ifconfig eth0 | grep inet\ addr | cut -d \: -f 2 | cut -d \ -f 1 [20:25] burwaco: and you dont mean compiz conig manager? the python thing to custom it? [20:25] cleaton / squee yes. the lanchpad recommends to create a script that runs when ubuntu starts executing this command [20:25] kolby, apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:25] burwaco: I got that covered [20:25] docubaseTech: should work [20:25] docubaseTech: Not a bash guru :) [20:25] cleaton / squee so, until now the solution is using hdparm -B 255 [20:25] ? [20:25] burwaco: okay. lol. I thought you might have meant the old compiz engine before the fusion [20:25] kolby, let me know if it works... [20:25] how do i log on as root? from the login screen i can't get it to work. i've already tried using sudo gksudo to do things. [20:25] I'm trying to admin a debian server [20:26] you can explain if you want... [20:26] and I'm need some help as to where to start [20:26] SevenSeth, well there's no sulotion on it, it's in the firmware or bios if i have understood it correct, ubuntu isn't doing anychanges [20:26] question: if I am trying to tunnel through ssh, do i actually need to go grab another program, or can i enable ?SOCKS? through something? [20:26] docubaseTech: cut breaks things up based on the -d(elimiter), and gives you which -f(ield) you want [20:26] Disk critical with 164 mb free [20:26] docubaseTech: and grep just searches for what you type [20:26] where do I start [20:27] docubaseTech: so I ifconfig eth0 to get the whole list, and pipe into grep to get only the line with inet addr in it [20:27] basiclly, i'm wanting to see if it's possible to get a domain up and running as you can with windoes [20:27] So, I would need a DC [20:27] DHCP, DNS, some way to manage the Clients and some way to lock the clients down at the Computer and user level... [20:27] docubaseTech: and then I just cut it up :) [20:27] SevenSeth, ubuntu goes by the thought that the manufacture knows what your hardware can handle. so it leaves the firmware/bios to do the job by default that's why laptop mode is disabled [20:27] robin1900: DNS you're looking for bind [20:27] where do i start to search for this standby issue regarding livecd vs installed system ? [20:27] nice, thanks. [20:28] Rhino_Ak: Well, that question is a bit vague... what do you want to do? Delete things, add more drive space, copy things elsewhere?... Why not ask the #debian people too, since it's debian [20:28] <[chr0n0s]> i cannot find man page for setsockopt, is there any way to install man pages? [20:28] cleaton so my manufacter sells me a notebook with an hddthat that is destinated to diw before the time expected... [20:28] robin1900: DHCP... dhcp3-server or something [20:28] rukuartic: Is it possible to lock down authenticated ubuntu clients from an ubuntu DC? [20:28] robin1900: and for logins and what not you probably want kerebox [20:28] cleaton how i can be sure if my laptop-mode is disabled? [20:28] robin1900: *kerebos [20:29] SevenSeth: sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop [20:29] how can i make another key behave as if it were alt? example newkey+tab instead of alt+tab to switch between windows, newkey+F4 to close windows, newkey+F2 to get the "run" box... [20:29] SevenSeth: sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/laptop-mode [20:29] What happened to the hardy heron section on the forums? [20:29] #mvgroup [20:29] SevenSeth: check for it in tour rc*... [20:29] burwaco where??? [20:29] SevenSeth: rm -i /etc/rc*.d/*laptop-mode [20:29] Vlet: Move things around, but I need to know what partition is running low [20:29] SevenSeth: run those three commands -- should get you set [20:29] SevenSeth: hold on... [20:30] SevenSeth: but the third is just redundancy [20:30] what's my first step in troubleshooting this issue. [20:30] hello i'm having a serious problem w/ ubuntu and getting it to work with my nvidia card.. i'm using a 7800 GT... basically i'm stuck in the console because, whenever i start up X ... I can get to the welcome screen... but whenever i log in or try to tweak the language/session settings in the welcome screen... x crashes and my system locks up [20:30] I'm very new to linux [20:30] rukuartic with this commands i will delete ... [20:30] is anyone here up to date on nvidia issues? [20:30] SevenSeth: yeah... don't run the rm one unless you're feeling bold [20:30] Rhino_Ak: use "df -h" [20:30] rukuartic: I'm guessing the setup is a bit more diffcult then Microsoft? [20:30] or is there anywhere i can look... i've used google a bit, and i'm not having any luck at all with this problem [20:30] robin1900: Its debatable... [20:30] Vlet: did that [20:30] Sad to say it.... but I am used to the Point and Click method [20:30] :( [20:30] :( [20:30] SevenSeth: ls /etc/rc*.d/|grep laptop-mode [20:30] robin1900: you'll probably also want samba and what not [20:31] Rhino_Ak: okay, well that shows you what you said you wanted to know [20:31] robin1900: Point and click is nice... yes, but its much easier to work with things in the CLI in my opinion. [20:31] robin1900: Everything's text, so you can create your own programs to do what you want [20:31] is kerebos and kerberos the same thing [20:31] SevenSeth, i don't know how you check that, sorry. it seems like they do, not everyone has that problem. windows seem to overide the bios/firmware settings so maybe it's some kind of trick they use to keep them on windows or something i don't know it seems strange [20:31] robin1900: Yea [20:32] It's strange how things more from CLI to Gui and back! [20:32] :P [20:32] robin1900: LDAP + Kerebos [20:32] robin1900: for auth [20:32] thanks everyone [20:32] Vlet: it looks like /usr 271m are free on a 3gb partition [20:32] SevenSeth: and, is it running ? [20:33] SevenSeth, even if you use hdparm -b 255 it will still use the firmware when you go in suspend forexample. and then you can see that you will get the same cycle rate again [20:33] burwaco: thanks again for the help [20:33] robin1900: you can look around for "Ubuntu perfect setup" on google... that might get you going pretty far. [20:33] kolbyn it works ? [20:33] Cheers for that! [20:33] Rhino_Ak: I'm not sure what you're asking of me/us... [20:33] robin1900: its like I said though... Gui's are great for making things easy... but automation is more difficult. [20:33] rukuartic: I haven't gotten any further with what you linked me to. However, when I run hdparm on scd0, I get the message HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [20:33] cleaton yeah...but what is the diferance in this comand hdparm -B255 /dev/sda > /dev/null 2>&1 ?? [20:34] robin1900: http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 try that [20:34] SevenSeth, so they might know that windows changes it and they use their a bit too agressive when the computer is in suspend but they think that it's ok as you're not in suspend so often and then it could be better to earn some battery time [20:34] Vlet: I'm getting a clear sense I what to do now [20:34] Sounds like a daft question but i know when I started on the Microsoft route I took class on this is a PDC, BDC etc [20:34] thanks for your help [20:34] is there anything simlar for linux? [20:34] robin1900: What's that? I'm not a big guru... [20:34] Sitting_Duck: Gah... Oo [20:34] Sitting_Duck: are you running it as sudo? [20:34] SevenSeth, i don't know i haven't used hdparm so much, you could try man hdparm [20:34] SevenSeth: laptop-mode was running on my machine, I turned it off... is it running on yours ? [20:35] Rhino_Ak: okay... I'm sorry - I'm not trying to be snooty... It's just hard to help without specific-ish questions [20:35] hello again [20:35] burwaco how i can see that? [20:35] rukuartic: Oops. Trying that! [20:35] SevenSeth: ls /etc/rc*.d/|grep laptop-mode [20:35] Vlet: I didn't take it that way.... [20:35] I'm been looking around for course to "Teach me", Linux [20:35] Sitting_Duck: I just used automatix to get it working for me... Slightly care-free but meh. [20:36] robin1900: You can find a lot of stuff by googling around online... [20:36] but all I can find is courses on how to manage RHL SQL servers [20:36] rukuartic: I'm still getting the error. What's automatix? [20:36] burwaco is not running... [20:36] Can anyone help diagnose a problem I am having installing Maple 11? The installation went smoothly on Feisty. On a completely fresh Gutsy install (2nd time around, and the problem persists), I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m63f78eb8 and my df reports: http://pastebin.com/m279ed428 [20:36] robin1900: Finding books at the library... [20:36] linux is a fun os but for a visual guy like myself its hard to know where to start and where to go next [20:36] !automatix | Sitting_Duck [20:36] Sitting_Duck: Automatix2 is a 3rd-party product attempting to automate installation of additional software. When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.

[20:36] rukuartic: Wait, what software did you install with it? [20:36] Tone: [20:36] hi ubunterz [20:37] i'm making an ubuntu package [20:37] Sitting_Duck: It was fairly point and click... "Do you want to be able to use DVD's? | Yes" [20:37] where should I put scripts thare are sourced? [20:37] matteo, yes ? [20:37] can u help me ? [20:37] need to jet folks, later [20:37] rukuartic: Ah. What if the problem is that the OS isn't using the drive properly? The hardware works in Windows, so I know it -should- be working [20:38] Can anyone guide me for installing 100.14.09 nvidia driver [20:38] reverseblade, just follow the instruction [20:38] sigh [20:38] worked for me everytime [20:38] Is there any way for Nautilus to access a PTP protocol camera and treat it as though it was a regular usb mass storage device? [20:38] Tone, what instruction [20:38] sh NVIDIA..... [20:38] sorry [20:38] sudo sh NVID.... [20:38] ever feel like you've cursed an entire civilization?

[20:39] im trying to compile the gtk engine experience but having trouble, can anyone help me? [20:39] Hey, My ubuntu freezes sometimes .. why ? [20:39] SevenSeth: if you want to get rid of laptop-mode, apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, run sys-rc-conf, scroll down to laptop-mode and clear the X's on the entire line... 2,3,4 and 5... [20:39] or provide me ubuntu .deb packages? [20:40] hello [20:40] <^rike^> Hi, banshee doesn't detect a network connection anymore. I'm using a dsl connection via usb modem. [20:40] Vlet: here's what I have [20:41] oficina: how are you compiling it? [20:41] <^rike^> for example: (Could not refresh stations cache) - There is no available network connection [20:41] /usr = avail/used = 3.5/3.1 [20:41] i need to copy a dir into the /opt dir, which requires root privilges. can somebody please tell me how to do this? [20:41] Ubuntu can't read from my DVD drive despite my having installed all of the codecs to play DVD's. Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux?

[20:42] Niekk: you're going to have to be more specific than that [20:42] my laptop goes to stanby/suspend with the livecd but not on the installed gutsy. anyone can help me out ? [20:42] Tone: i tried that. it says /dir is being omitted. [20:42] lufis: thats pretty specific ;) [20:42] lufis: I compiling it using it's "./configure --prefix=/usr" [20:42] Niekk, could be a hundred reasons why [20:42] Hello. My USB drive stopped working after the last batch of updates. Does anyone know off hand why that might be? It's a 250gb seagate HD in fat32 and I'm getting usb 2-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71 in the logs. [20:42] lufis: I have googled, and I thinkt it has something to do with compiz [20:42] whats the command to upgrade to the new release? [20:42] as the readme tells me to do [20:42] I use Ubuntu Gutsy [20:42] burwaco: not much [20:42] oficina: and it doesn't show up in the theme window? [20:43] Niekk how often does it happen? [20:43] kolby, does compiz work now ? [20:43] Rhino_Ak: I understand, but I don't know what you want me to tell you how to do [20:43] oficina: did you "make" and "sudo make install" as well? [20:43] Ubuntu can't read from my DVD drive despite my having installed all of the codecs to play DVD's. Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux? === Xjs_ is now known as Xjs [20:43] burwaco: I was actually helping some else. poor guy restarted his X server twice after issueing the same wrong command to install xserver-xorg [20:43] burwaco: I meant xserver-xgl [20:43] I installed using the DVD drive, so it must be reading data DVD's okay. [20:43] lufis, no, should I? [20:44] oficina: Yes ;) that's what compiles it [20:44] hey everyone [20:44] burwaco: see how I am? Well I sent him an email explaining it all after you helped me [20:44] SkaKatzE: hi [20:44] Niekk Open a console and run "top" in it, have it visable, and with a bit of luck you will be able to see the process utilizing your full CPU in that console when it happens.. [20:44] Does anyone have experiance with their USB Hard drives not working? [20:44] hehe [20:44] tried it, it says no rule to process target 'install' [20:45] i have a problem with my mic, could anyone help me? [20:45] oficina: after running ./configure? [20:45] I've seen a bunch of forum posts about the usb automount trouble, and that was finally solved by one of the suggestions... but after this last update, I don't even see it on lsusb anymore. [20:45] lufis: yes, after ./configure [20:45] oficina: and you're in the right directory? [20:46] yes I am [20:46] sekas: No, it has nothing to do with some CPU eating process or something .. [20:46] j0hn, try: sudo mc, and then try to copy with mc [20:46] It just keeps saying the device is not accepting address xx over and over again, then times out. [20:46] oficina: run "pwd" and paste it to me [20:46] hi, I want to change my default printer, but none of the printer settings apps will open [20:46] Danaman5: running firestarter, perchance? [20:46] Tone: i'll give that a try. one sec [20:46] lufis: /home/suporte/Área de Trabalho/gtk-engine-experience-0.10.4 [20:46] Did anyone have similar problems with their usb drives?

Any thoughts? It's a SATA drive -- I've been told those are problematic with Linux? [20:47] digitize: Did it mount before? [20:47] j0hn, then install mc [20:47] MarcoDFW: what graphic card do you have ? [20:47] ewin, yes, this is happening on two identical pc's [20:47] Niekk based on what? [20:47] Tone: i'll check synaptic... [20:47] Intel I865 [20:47] digitize: Did it happen after the last update? [20:47] oficina: run "make clean" [20:47] ewin, one of them hasn't been updated since 7.10 [20:47] sekas: because it happens on other times. Like, I'm writing an email or something, or publish what I am currently listening too on IRC> [20:47] no rule for processeing clean [20:47] . [20:48] lufis: no rule to process target clean [20:48] the same as make install [20:48] oficina: weird... run "ls" and paste it to me as a pm [20:48] digitize: Do you see something like usb 2-1: device not accepting address 4, error -71 in your logs when you plug it in? [20:48] lufis: I still can't get it to work. Do I need to disable the firewall or shut down the whole program? [20:48] i'm not even sure where those logs are [20:48] Niekk can be an underlaying process that always runs anyways? [20:48] burwaco: I activate the visual effects but dunno where to go for the compiz settings 3D [20:48] When I look on the inet, it has something to do with compiz or something ? but my X server doesn't seems to catch keystrokes, and my music "hangs" (u know, repeating the last second or something) [20:48] ewin, where might i pull them up? [20:48] Think you should listen to my advice and try [20:48] Danaman5: did you disable it? if you open the gui, it will have a button "Disable firewall" [20:48] MarcoDFW: system>preferences>appearance. visual effects tab [20:49] digitize: system, admin, system log [20:49] ciao a tutti [20:49] niekk: you need a pkg, compiz-config-settings? maybe [20:49] MarcoDFW: , apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:49] sekas: when i run top on times like this, wich i did, top is above :P [20:49] Danaman5: for some reason i've had trouble with my printer because of firestarter [20:49] digitize: check the messages one [20:49] ahh.. =/ [20:49] burwaco: let me try that [20:49] digitize: you'll see the lines being put in right after you plug in your device [20:49] lufis: I hit the "stop firewall" button, and now there is a red stop thing in my task bar [20:49] ok [20:49] MarcoDFW: after the install it shows up in system > Preferences [20:49] Danaman5: now try configuring your printer [20:49] ewin, not seeing anything like that [20:50] burwaco: I'm getting this "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)" [20:50] digitize: You don't have a little system log icon in your admin menu? [20:50] I might needt to set up the root pass [20:50] lufis: none of the programs will open, still [20:50] ewin, i do, i don't see the usb message [20:50] digitize: Also, it might be some place else in KDE, heh. Gnome on this end. [20:50] digitize: Oh really? Nothing at all under messages? [20:50] Danaman5: what printer? [20:51] digitize: It should start with something like 'New High Speed USB device plugged in" === chryss_ is now known as chryss [20:51] yeah [20:51] I've shared a folder via NFS to my fathers computer, 240 km away, by sharing it to his IP-adress... but I dont know how to connecto to the shared folder from his computer. Does anyone here know? [20:51] i'm seeing that now [20:51] digitize: is it the same thing? your device won't accept any addresses? [20:51] lufis: I want to be clear: I am able to print just fine, but I have to change from the default printer setting to the correct setting. I just want to change the default to make life easier for myself [20:52] i don't see anything like hat [20:52] Danaman5: oh ok, on gutsy? [20:52] digitize: oh.. maybe yo have another issue [20:52] scsi emu for usb mass storage [20:52] lufis: yup [20:52] direct-access apple ipod [20:52] it see's the ipod quite fine [20:52] Danaman5: you're trying the "Default printer" entry in the system > administration menu right? [20:52] lufis: yeah [20:52] Danaman5: preferences* [20:52] Burwaco: I think I will need to set up the root pass, this is a virgin system just installed [20:52] Danaman5: what printer? [20:53] ekas: any suggestions ? (did I wrote that word right ? :P ) [20:53] lufis: I think it is a Samsung ML-2010 [20:53] MarcoDFW: , do 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' then... [20:53] eh, I have to part [20:53] I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this? [20:53] back late [20:53] Danaman5: try system > administration > printing [20:54] burwaco: I did that but it fails " E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [20:54] burwaco: I think I need to set up the root pass [20:54] how do i do that [20:54] MarcoDFW: When you get that it means you're already using a package manager elsewhere, or haven't used sudo in the command [20:54] how do i make a ISO file out of a cd? [20:54] MarcoDFW: , do 'SUDO apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' it asks for rootpass then, no ? [20:55] burwaco: it will ask you for your password [20:55] how do I deactivate the error "beep" in gutsy ? [20:55] I'm trying to use sshfs.. I mounted it, but I need to be root to view it, how can I make it allow me to read and write without being root? [20:55] uff [20:55] nicolah, sound preferences [20:55] Hi guys, can anybody tell my why there is no "plug" plugin in gutsy for alsa anymore? Or am I just plain stupid? [20:55] Clinton__: I know :-) [20:55] kane77: in your fstab, add users next to default [20:55] lufis: That one doesn't do anything. It says "Starting Printing" in the program bar, but then just shuts down [20:55] thanks MystaMax [20:55] Danaman5: hm, i dunno then [20:55] burwaco same thing, is asking for a super user account [20:55] nicolah go to system->preferences->sound->system beep [20:55] Can anyone tell me how do I set Thunderbird as default mail client instead of Evolution? [20:55] I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this? [20:56] TB doesn't seem to be able to set itself as default [20:56] lufis: luckily, it isn't a huge deal, since I am actually able to print, I [20:56] I think I need to set up the root pass first am I [20:56] MarcoDFW: the password is your user password... [20:56] lufis: I just wonder what the problem could be [20:56] Danaman5: could try restarting cups.. /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart [20:56] Why even I set my apt-build to use the '-O3' some packages are still compiled using '-O2'? [20:56] I know I had the synaptic open [20:56] MarcoDFW: , do 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' and enter your user password... [20:56] how do i make a ISO file out of a cd? [20:56] Danaman5: as root [20:56] Is there any other way to get the name of the user, other than "echo $USER" ? [20:56] michelecs: they aren't compatible for compilation with -O3 and will override your settings [20:57] burwaco: should I say yes to this : "Install these packages without verification [y/N]?" [20:57] lufis, try using whoami [20:57] minus198: whoami [20:57] burwaco, thanks [20:57] MarcoDFW, yes [20:57] ActySofts, go to system -> pref -> preferred apps [20:57] michelecs: :o [20:57] MarcoDFW, its safe... [20:57] can anyone tell me how to set Thunderbird as the default mail client? [20:57] Thanks burwaco & minus198 [20:57] ActySofts: MystaMax just told you how [20:58] yeah, I was typing and didn't see :P [20:58] Burwaco: do I need to restart my x server crt + backspace or should it work after installation? [20:58] Clinton__, I don't have fstab entry for this === Niekk is now known as Niekoma [20:58] MarcoDFW: should work now... [20:58] MarcoDFW, right click your desktop and go to change background [20:58] how can I install truetype fonts from the console? [20:58] kane77: without an fstab entry you will not be able to allow just anyone to do it [20:59] lufis: I can't get that to work, it says "command not found" [20:59] then go to the visual effects tab [20:59] MystaMax: thanks [20:59] jroes: move them into ./fonts [20:59] Thanks to ALL you guys rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [20:59] Danaman5: sudo /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart ? [20:59] anyway for me to be able to write to /sys/modules/usbhid/parameters/ ? as root, it still gives me permission denied [20:59] is there something like interactive diff that can merge files so I can choose what lines to keep? [20:59] ./fonts? [20:59] in a current directory? [20:59] er, in my current directory? [20:59] jroes: in the home directory [20:59] bstock, how are you trying to do this? [20:59] weird [20:59] ok [21:00] er [21:00] now, does anyone know why when I press a key at the wrong time (eg back-space in an empty input box) I hear a beep in my motherboard's speaker instead from my pci sound card? [21:00] kane77: as root, from terminal [21:00] jroes: ~/.fonts [21:00] ohhh ok [21:00] lufis: ok, got it to restart. Unfortunately, it had no effect [21:00] kane77: i try to touch a new file in there and it gives me permission denied, even as root [21:00] Danaman5: dunno then :( [21:00] I keep getting hash sum mismatch errors when installing packages on my gutsy. I've tried switching servers on software sources, but I still end up with the same errors, but for different packages [21:00] I have gutsy and a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 the restricted driver manager says that firmware for broadcom 43xxx is in use. iwconfig shows http://pastebin.ca/758030 but network manager wireless is all 'greyed out' and inaccessible. Why? [21:00] lufis: thanks anyway, I'll poke around a bit and see what I can do [21:00] ActySofts: I knew that one, drove me nuts... [21:01] ActySofts, System -> Pref -> Sounds -> System Beep tab [21:01] awesome lufis [21:01] thanks [21:01] thanks again! [21:01] does anybody know anything about gnome-splashscreen-manager? i think i may have added too many splashes and broke it. keeps crashing. even from terminal (i get the following error) pastbin [21:01] http://pastebin.com/m7e387dfb [21:02] sam_, if you right click NM does it show that wireless is enabled? [21:02] MystaMax, 'roaming mode is enabled' [21:02] hello where can i find the win32 codecs for ubuntu 7.10=? [21:02] !win32codecs > ths_ [21:03] sam_, sorry but u didnt answer my question [21:03] !codecs > ths_ [21:03] what do you mean by NM? [21:03] well then... [21:03] sam_ network manager [21:03] Network Manager [21:03] and once again I embark on my journey of bruteforcing bcmwl5.inf to find one that works for ndiswrapper on my one of thousands of compaq presario v6000 models that aren't listed ^^ [21:04] the icon on your panel, right click and make sure wireless is enabled [21:04] does anybody know anything about gnome-splashscreen-manager? i think i may have added too many splashes and broke it. keeps crashing. even from terminal (i get the following error). check pastebin http://pastebin.com/m7e387dfb [21:04] What does the hash sum eroor even mean? [21:04] Jadd455: means the file is not what is expected [21:04] MystaMax, I have a window open that says 'network manager' at the top. do you mean the panel applet? [21:04] I used dd to transfer everything from a 5.5GB partition on my old hard drive to this 18.xxGB partition on my new hard drive, and everything boots fine but certain things (nautilus, system monitor) still quote a 5.5GB partition, any ideas to rectify this? [21:04] I've got a 160GB IDE Seagate drive in a USB external enclosure, plug it in, and i get a "scsi 7:0:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" in dmesg. Nothing in blkid, etc. Any one have any ideas? [21:04] first day i have ever used linux... ever. anyone up to the task of helping a newbie like me with wine questions [21:04] anyone know why i cannot touch a file in /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/ even as root? [21:05] sam_, yes the panel applet, which is called nm-applet [21:05] "mkisofs -r -o ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0" will this backup my ubuntu cd to iso correctly? === manchicken_ is now known as manchicken [21:05] thx anyways [21:05] snkmad: you can do 'dd if=/dev/cdrom0 of=LinuxFile.iso' [21:05] Does anyone know a Subversion client that integrates nicely into gnome as TortoiseSVN does on Windows? (I'm currently using RapidSVN) [21:05] I've seen a few, but for KDE :( [21:05] ActySofts: hrm, that's one I'd like to know about [21:06] Help! [21:06] bstock but the way i posted will work? [21:06] I may be rootkitted! [21:06] Hi I'm trying to install ubuntu/xubuntu on an old computer, I get the boot screen from the liveCD, but as soon as it tries to load the desktop, I get a small wobbling and blinking window in the middle of the screen, I tried pluging a more recent screen and it worked, does somebody know if there might be some frequency that I can set somewhere ??? [21:06] snkmad: not sure, haven't used mkisofs much [21:06] Is there anyone that got GTA San Andreas running on linux ? [21:06] nice nick [21:06] bstock ok gonna try ur way then [21:06] Pa [21:06] snkmad: i do it that way all the time for all sorts of cd [21:06] cds [21:06] ActySofts: Might take a look at SmartSVN [21:06] Pat_the_Pat: you may want to try text only install [21:07] amidaniel: I will, thanks [21:07] hi guys. im setting up 270 edubuntu machines on our school network and am trying to intergrate it partially with our windows 2003 servers. is there any way to have the users login authenticate using ldap against windows active directory? [21:07] ActySofts: I personally just prefer the cli, but that's me :) [21:07] Pat_the_Pat: or try the alternate cd... [21:07] yea, but it fails strangely for me [21:07] ActySofts: "fails"? How so? [21:07] what's the difference with the alternate CD ? [21:07] MystaMax, I have a applet called 'Network monitor' I do not see a applet called network manager anywhere [21:08] when committing it always finds the path to the changed directories/files as /home/mircea/Sampi/Source/the [21:08] O.o [21:08] Pat_the_Pat: text based install [21:08] sam_, open terminal and type nm-applet [21:08] ActySofts: try nautilus-script-collection-svn [21:08] I had just recovered from a priorly infected install, I wiped out everything on my disk but /home, and I have been running for a few days when my system shut down unexpectedly. I then booted from a livecd, ran rkhunter -c -r /media/disk and got this: === b4d_ is now known as b4d [21:08] I had just recovered from a priorly infected install, I wiped out everything on my disk but /home, and I have been running for a few days when my system shut down unexpectedly. I then booted from a livecd, ran rkhunter -c -r /media/disk and got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42951/ [21:08] what about the text install fromthe start menu ? any different from the alternate cd ? [21:08] bstock dd: opening `/dev/cdrom0': No such file or directory [21:08] ActySofts: Hmmm .. that's an odd one :) [21:09] MystaMax, nothing happened. Should i sudo? sam@sam-laptop:~$ nm-applet [21:09] Pat_the_Pat: you mean you have a disc with both text and live? is it the dvd? [21:09] ActySofts: You probably have some odd environment variable set .. might try doing a complete remove / reinstall [21:09] snkmad: might just be /dev/cdrom [21:09] Help!!!! I think I have been rootkitted!!! [21:09] listen for your drive to spin up [21:09] hi ima linux newb and need some help setting up ubuntu .. [21:09] amidaniel: maybe, but I reinstalled it about 5 times... [21:10] Goosemoose: is this you ? http://indianalinux.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html [21:10] sam_, do you have "Notification area" added to your panel? [21:10] I didn't try yet the text option, but I believe there's the option on the cd [21:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42952/ [21:10] bstock i think its working, but it doesnt show the progress, only when its done? [21:10] what's the command to list files by name [21:10] Rhino_Ak: ls [21:10] ls ?? [21:10] also, does anyone know why while streaming via XMMS, Firefox takes a huge time to connect to any server? (tried it on google.com and it takes 3 mins...) [21:10] ya, should just go to the next line when it's done [21:10] Rhino_Ak: man ls [21:11] is there a switch [21:11] burwaco, no [21:11] i do now.. and wireless is enabled.. [21:11] bstock thx man, now, how can i check the md5? [21:11] you can open another terminal window and type 'ls -alh ' and it'll show you the size [21:11] snkmad: md5sum filename [21:11] thx [21:11] ok, stuff is moving here fast, i dont think i've seen a response to my question [21:11] Goosemoose: this guy is trying something similar I think... [21:11] sam_, ok so left click the nm-applet and see if you see any networks [21:11] Goosemoose: what was it? [21:11] clinton hi guys. im setting up 270 edubuntu machines on our school network and am trying to intergrate it partially with our windows 2003 servers. is there any way to have the users login authenticate using ldap against windows active directory? [21:11] Pat_the_Pat: ok if there is a text based install on your disc then it is the same yea. you must have the dvd though( dvd is live and alternate combined) but i cant be sure since i havent used a disc since fiesty [21:11] burwaco, let me look at it [21:12] Goosemoose: second article... [21:12] Goosemoose: you might try the forums/google for that question, I've seen it answered there somewhere [21:12] no there is no button next to wireless - only wired. I am sat next to my access point [21:12] iyi geceler [21:12] where can i find the md5 for ubuntu iso's? [21:12] site [21:12] Goosemoose, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [21:13] snkmad: they're right there with the iso's, loko down a couple more and you'll see md5sum files [21:13] Im attempting to install ubuntu but I get the error "ata 501 : failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)" ... In the past my IDE controller ( JMicron JMB363 ) has been abit iffey about transfer modes, could this be the problem??? [21:13] snkmad: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+md5+iso&btnG=Google+Search [21:13] if so what fixes are there? [21:13] MystaMax, thanks [21:13] Hi, anyone know why i dont see the GRUB boot loader when booting? [21:13] snkmad: fourth one down: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/MD5SUMS [21:13] Goosemoose: spot on... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [21:13] yup, im reading that now [21:13] thanks guys [21:14] Goosemoose: you'll all be very interested in clusterssh [21:14] thx guys [21:14] now i just need to figure out how to roll out updates to all the machines at once [21:14] is there a program that can encrypt a partition? [21:14] @cizarr: You can configure grub to show on startup [21:14] Goosemoose: I just told you how :) [21:14] Clinton__, what does clusterssh do? allow me to ssh into multiple machines at once? [21:14] Goosemoose: yup [21:14] Im attempting to install ubuntu but I get the error "ata 501 : failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)" ... In the past my IDE controller ( JMicron JMB363 ) has been abit iffey about transfer modes, could this be the problem??? is there a way I can manually set the transfer mode used?? :) [21:14] and run the same commands on all the boxes? [21:14] yup [21:14] MystaMax: yup [21:14] thats awesome [21:14] Clinton__, interesting. ive been running linux server for years as webservers. running as workstations is new to me [21:15] seriously [21:15] rolf_ : how can i configure it while the computer only booting Vista? [21:15] mpd is running nicely now, except the soundquality which isn't so good :/ what could be wrong? it isn't so clear and "crisp" as with other music players [21:15] sam_, so if you left click the nm-applet what do you see? [21:15] Goosemoose: now it becomes complicated... ;-) [21:16] burwaco, seriously [21:16] Hey guys, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu [21:16] when I try to install from cd, it takes me to a command line [21:16] i got conky from apt-get .. where is the conkyrc file so i can edit it? [21:16] Swift, did yo uget the right ISO [21:16] did you [21:16] I'm pretty sure I did [21:17] a radio button next to 'wired network' the words 'wireless network' but no radio button [21:17] bastid_raZor: dpkg -L conky to see where it keeps its files [21:17] Clinton__, thanks [21:17] question wording: after install gutsy(cli) on a computer already booting vista, i dont get the boot screen that allow me choosing my OS... it just booting vista :( [21:17] @cizarr: I think in most case grub show a little message on startup, for about 5 sec [21:17] strange, i made 2 isos of my ubuntu cd, one using mkisofs, other dd, and none of them matched the md5.. [21:17] sam_, try rebooting, also is your SSID on broadcast? [21:18] rolf_: i can see for 1sec no luck to hold it or something [21:18] SSid - yes [21:18] Hi everyone, who can help me out to download, install and configure Danger-ircd ( Freenode irc daemon ) ? [21:18] x<1sec heh [21:18] i have not made any changes so why would rebooting have an effect? [21:19] i just need to make the download and install, nothing more [21:19] cizarr, /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:19] cizarr, read that file [21:19] and change the timeout [21:19] MystaMax: how could i access it in Vista? [21:19] anyone know why i cannot touch a file in /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/ even as root? [21:19] I've lost connection with the Internet (using wired connection) I think it has something to do with the fact that I changed the shell from bash to zsh, can someone help me please? [21:20] sam_, its my suggestion, either you do or you don't [21:20] sebas_: can't you just change the shell back and see if it works? [21:20] cizarr: Did you press "ENTER" or "F5"(I think...) [21:20] do I have to install something special to get a memory card to work on my laptop (Ubuntu 7.04) ? [21:20] cizarr, your ubuntu install is probably EXT3, so you'd have to install a driver to read from that partition [21:20] rolf_: should i? [21:20] dmesg says something but I've got no /dev/mmc* [21:20] OK I will try it - but nothing has changed [21:21] tomd123: I unintentionally removed it.. maybe you could help me to restore it [21:21] anyone done this before: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto ? [21:21] MystaMax: yes EXT3. where can i find that driver? [21:21] If I mirror image all the hard drives im wondering if there will be aproblem with the computer names being the same. i guess i'd have to set them all manually [21:21] cizarr, do you have your install CD? [21:21] MystaMax: yes. [21:22] I ran into a weird bug and most of my Preferences Menu has gone after trying to re-organise it, can anyone DCC me a list of default commands I can add back in? [21:22] cizarr, boot the LiveCD and then browse to the /boot/grub/ folder [21:22] Does anyone know how to connect to a NFS folder over internet? Cant find any guides! [21:22] alirght... [21:22] cizarr: When you press the key, the bootmenu should be shown [21:22] much easier than installing the windows driver [21:22] anyone good with getopts? [21:22] doing it... lets see, thanks [21:22] ? [21:22] not sure what getopts is [21:22] Clinton__ rootkitted i made the iso using mkisofs and dd, but none of the images matched the md5sum [21:23] when I use apt-get it warns about 'ldconfig deferred processing now taking place' is this something I should worry about ? [21:23] oz_: That's normal [21:23] well [21:23] im making a java program [21:23] oz_: Nothing to worry about [21:23] rolf_: F5? or Enter? i didnt press it... its require to show the Grub boot menu? [21:23] and i use getopts so i can pass flags to the program when ran [21:23] *required [21:23] im using a make file [21:24] I unintentionally removed /bin/bash, how can I restore it? [21:24] and trying to run the program passing it flags [21:24] and im getting a noclassdef founderror [21:24] The_Joe_, how do I stop it ? What the meaning of it ? I tried googling but I still don't understand why this warnning appears [21:24] when using the jar file made [21:24] but when i just use java printer -H [21:24] it works [21:24] oz_: You don't need to stop it [21:24] and dispalys the help menu [21:24] for example [21:24] oz_: It's completely normal, not a warning [21:25] oz_, The_Joe_ there seems to be a bug for this, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/156041#cooliris [21:25] woops take the cooliris of the end [21:25] Oh he didn't say it was hanging on it [21:25] snkmad: what speed did your burner use? [21:26] did i found the ubuntu channel?! [21:26] sam_, any luck [21:26] MystaMax, yes :) [21:26] Yes, flo [21:26] rootkitted i dont remember, 8x or 48x, the only ones i use [21:26] sam_, wait so the reboot worked? [21:26] Thanks - and sorry for doubting :) [21:26] yeah! [21:26] hrm, I just ordered more hardware am very very interested to see how well it works on my ubuntu systems [21:27] Has only one here have any success in setting up dual monitors? [21:27] sam_, so you understand what happen, i don't think nm-applet was running, and when you ran it at the CLI it started it but couldn't find any networks. I have the same Broadcom card [21:27] Yeah thanks for that [21:27] how do I change the default behavior for .torrent files in lynx? [21:27] I ran into a weird bug and most of my Preferences Menu has gone after trying to re-organise it, can anyone DCC me a list of default commands I can add back in? At least the Screen Resolution command [21:27] could someone help me? just beginner's question... [21:27] snkmad: try 4x [21:27] and verify the md5 of the ISO [21:27] Does anyone know how to set up duel monitors? [21:27] I just downloaded gcc with aptitude, now it's installed how do I run/use it? [21:27] Oriona, what video card do u have? [21:27] orionr: give them both knives [21:28] Orionr what do you wanna know about setting em up, I run dual monitors on mine with a gforce 6800 [21:28] rootkitted 4x to burn the cd? i dont have the original iso anymore, thats why i wanna make a iso of the cd [21:28] hi [21:28] orionr, yea its pretty easy w/ nvidia, not sure about ATI [21:28] whats the command to change the shell? [21:28] symmetria: cool we both have the same video cards. How did you set up dual monitors i tied using the manager and it didnt work [21:28] i have an nvidia card [21:28] snkmad: ot a good idea. too many problem chances. [21:29] nobody? [21:29] Orionr, did you install the nvidia driver w/ the restricted manager [21:29] What about Appearence? [21:29] i tried using the gui tool in system->administratoin->sreen and graphics [21:29] Oriona what problems did you have? the only issue I had was that the mode lines for the type of monitors I have werent correct in ubuntu, so I had to hack at them [21:29] rootkitted well ill just download the iso again [21:29] MystaMax: yes i used the restriced manager to install the drivers [21:29] The_Joe_: you can try deleting all the .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications (your custom stuff) and then killall gnome-panel to regenerate them [21:29] Orionr apt-get install ndivia-glx is what I did first [21:29] nvidia-glx I mean [21:30] Symmetria, he already used the restricted manager [21:30] so they should be installed [21:30] a german here? [21:30] how do I get into gcc after I've gotten it installed? [21:30] Symmetria: im using nvidia-glx-new right now [21:30] nickrud: Ok just trying it [21:30] symmetria: are you running 7.10? [21:30] Don_jr2: it's not an itnteractive app, it's a compiler you can run on source code [21:30] orionr, open the terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings [21:30] how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing [21:30] *interactive, even [21:30] orionr yeah [21:31] nickrud Alright, so once it's installed I shouldn't get the error that I don't have a c compiler when I try to do the makefile then? [21:31] MystaMax: yea i dont have all of the settings in nvidia-settings [21:31] nickrud: Wonderful! Thanks [21:31] i have dual monitors working with an nVidia 7600 Gt but one monitor has the desktop bigger than the window. i can scroll around inside the window [21:31] Don_jr2: yes, make should work now [21:31] Symmetrica: did you set up duel display with nvidia-settings? [21:31] nickrud thanks [21:31] hmkay, i just ask... [21:31] Don_jr2: you should install build-essential though, since it pulls in other stuff you'll need to have [21:31] orionr no, I installed the nvidia-glx then enabled both monitors in the manager and then hacked at the mode lines in xorg.conf manually because the dell 2407-wfp mode lines that ship with ubuntu arent correct [21:32] what's the command to switch shell? [21:32] What's the package name for Java 5? I accidently installed both 6 and 5 [21:32] Symmetrica: so you have to edit your xorg.config file to get this to work right? [21:32] The_Joe_: sun-java5-jre [21:32] Thanks [21:32] orionr, i didn't. I'm not sure why your nvidia-settings would be any diff from mine [21:32] orionr no, the only reason I had to do that was becuase of the monitors I was running [21:33] mystaMax are you running dual display? [21:33] Orionr, yes two Dell 24's [21:33] The_Joe_: you can have both installed, and switch back and forth with sudo update-alternatives --config java [21:33] mystraMax: did you set it up using nvidia-settings? [21:33] orionr, yes, im looking at it now [21:33] i try to execute an installation, but nothing happens... whats wrong?! [21:34] nickrud: Yeah it's just the space issue and Java 5 is less up to date than 6 [21:34] MystaMax, what is the command to get into those settings? [21:34] nickrud when I try to run 'make' I get 'Bash: make command not found' [21:34] flo: because the installation is immortal? (but actually, a clearer question would help ;) [21:34] bastid_raZor, sudo nvidia-settings [21:35] i can't get my Samsung 22 to work w/ a Dell D620 and a docking station... thats what Im working on now. [21:35] Ok most of my problems are solved until 8.04 hopefully fixes the Acer sound problem [21:35] MystaMax, any idea why my 2nd monitor would be bigger than the screen? both are set to 1280x1024 [21:35] pidgin keeps crashing [21:35] Toodloo [21:35] The_Joe_: hda sound? === juliank0 is now known as juliank [21:36] bastid_raZor, im not sure whta you mean, bigger than the screen? [21:36] how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing [21:36] ok, i try to install a vpn-client. i downloaded it and double clicked the install-file. now a new window appears, i can choose "execute in terminal" "show" "execute" and "cancel" [21:36] Sorry what's that about hda sound? [21:36] MystaMax: im sorry to keep asking you this but in the nvidia-settings app there is an option to set up dual displays there? [21:36] matt__: what do you mean, 'switch shell'? [21:36] MystaMax, for example. if i have the toolbars in the 2nd monitor i move the mouse up andthe screen will scroll up and the bottom toolbar will scroll out of the screen. [21:37] tcsh [21:37] The_Joe_: the sound card, doesn't your acer have intel hda sound? [21:37] how can i make pc to phone calls using ekiga? ive successfully configured the sip settings from ubuntu forums and im online but i dont know how to make a call.i also tried sip:majestyelias@lowratevoip.com who is a friend and he's now connected and still nothing [21:37] but nothing happens, when i choose one of the execution-buttons [21:37] Oriona, yes, if you go to the X Server Display Config section... [21:37] does anyone have any info on the disappearing mouse pointer bug? im looking for a fix or workaround. [21:37] hmm, is the debian/ subdirectory deliberately empty in gutsy's linux-source-2.6.22 package ? [21:37] nickrud: Yes, I get no sound unless I unmute surround or plug in my headphones [21:37] there should be kernel config files and rules in there afaik [21:38] nm [21:38] i got it [21:38] I have a SATA DVD drive that Ubuntu can read data from but can't play movies from. I've installed all of the necessary codecs, but still can't play video. What am I missing? [21:38] I have gcc installed when I try to run 'make' it tells me 'Bash: make command not found and on 'config' I get error no acceptable c compiler found in $path. How can I fix this? [21:38] just type the shell name [21:38] and itll switch [21:38] Sitting_Duck, have you tried vlan?

[21:47] bastid_raZor, are there any traces of xinerama in your xorg.conf? If I was use, I'd run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org again, and try it again, but backup your current xorg.conf first [21:47] gourdin: no [21:47] do you have enough swap to hibernate [21:47] if i was you [21:47] Is there something like "visulab" for openoffice? [21:47] I have a SATA DVD drive that Ubuntu can read data from but can't play movies from. I've installed all of the necessary codecs, but still can't play video. I've tried VLC, Mplayer, Totem, and Movie Player. What am I missing? [21:47] soundray: what is the problem ? [21:47] MystaMax, ok. at this moment it is using xinerama. [21:47] bastid_raZor, thats possibly why [21:47] what does rm -f * do then? :P [21:48] Sitting_Duck: what is your DVD drives device name ? [21:48] panny, never type that [21:48] force remove [21:48] does it nuke your system? [21:48] panny: in the wrong place with the wrong permission, it can totally wipe your disk. Did it once in my learning days [21:48] lol [21:48] stefg: scd0 [21:48] gourdin: I don't know. I'd boot a live CD and run e2fsck on the partition [21:48] rm -rf / sounds like it would delete your filesystem [21:48] i dont know never tried it [21:48] MystaMax, isn't that how i get both monitors to work with two screens that act as one? [21:48] panny it deletes everything in its path... [21:48] MystaMax, how is your dual monitors set up? [21:48] would be something cool to try on the school comps [21:49] soundray: very funny [21:49] burwaco: have a look at /etc/default/acpi-support [21:49] gourdin: what's funny? [21:49] k [21:49] Any idea why I can perform an nslookup from a terminal and it returns the correct ip, i can ping the ip and it works, but pinging the fqdn doesn't work (this is pinging a local windows server) [21:49] Sitting_Duck: try setting that in vlc settings. usually all the DVD player jump through some symlink /dev/dvd , which might be simply wrong in your case [21:49] #pokerth [21:49] bastid_raZor, in twinview... if thats what you mean [21:50] soundray: fsck cause my xorg takes a lot of mem ? [21:50] using a 7800GT [21:50] soundray: that's at most "funny" [21:50] stefg: I've checked the VLC settings -- that's actually where I originally got the device name [21:50] thx anyway [21:50] gourdin: okay, I misread that line [21:50] MystaMax, do you have the toolbars spanning both monitors? i prefer them to be confined to one and have two seperate X screens [21:50] my mouse pointer disappears sporadically, it still exists but i just cant see it. im running unbuntu7, can someone help me with a fix or workaround [21:51] bastid_raZor, nope its on one monitor, BUT when I first initiated twinview, the panel span both monitors. After the reboot, it was setup correctly. [21:51] nelcon24, maybe reduce your graphics settings? [21:51] interesting [21:51] Sitting_Duck: check dmesg if that's really the device name... could be sr0 or something more exotic [21:52] stefg: How do I go about using dmesg? [21:52] bastid_raZor, and to prove my theory correct, i just setup my laptop w/ a secondary monitor, and followed the steps i gave you. now i have two computers setup w/ dual display infront of me [21:52] Is there anyone here that can help me install ubuntu to a usb drive with the persistant installation. I used this tutorial but it wont save my changes when I reboot http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [21:52] MystaMax, when you open a program does it try to split the screen or go to one window or the other... nice [21:52] Sitting_Duck: just open a terminal and run 'dmesg | most' [21:52] hi guys.. im new with ubuntu and installed the ubuntu server 7.04 yesterday. But i got problem with the aptitude install part.. i installed apache2 with "aptitude install apache2" then i removed the /etc/init.d/apache2 file (mistake) and then when i reinstalled the packet it doesnt install the /etc/init.d/apache2 file.. how i can i reinstall all the files? [21:52] MystaMax, what was that command again? [21:52] Caram : do you mean less eye candy like desktop and window effects? [21:52] Sitting_Duck: just open a terminal and run 'dmesg | less' , rather [21:52] !windowrules [21:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about windowrules - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:52] bastid_raZor, it opens whereever my mouse is... [21:52] Hmm... [21:53] stefg: yeah, I'm looking at it now [21:53] Anybody know how to work the WindowRules compiz plugin/ [21:53] anyone see my question? [21:53] Sitting_Duck: so skim over it and try to figure out what the kernel thinks about your drive [21:53] Goosemoose, you'd have to add a DNS entry to the computer executing the PING, or to your local dns server [21:54] thats my guess [21:54] is there a one-shot package to merge all of the video codec/mp3 support and so on in gutsy? [21:54] i saw your question, but forgot to answer... shoot me [21:54] stefg: Any idea whether there's something specific I should look for? "DVD", for instance? [21:54] the local dns server has an entry for the server, thats why the nslookup works [21:54] ah [21:54] MystaMax, lol no problem [21:54] let me think [21:54] do i need to reinstall the whole server to get this to work again? i you manualy remove some files from a packet those file is lost forever? [21:55] MystaMax, dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?

Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:11] ok checking [22:11] Ooooh neat. [22:11] frojnd sorry i only have experience with nvidia ones [22:11] I just realized that.

[22:20] DM|: replace the broken /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default with a working one. It's gibem in the bug report [22:21] bastid_raZor, I'd get rid of emerald. i can send you a link to an awesome OSX theme for metacity [22:21] DM|: Edit your /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default file.

[22:23] alienseer23, no you have to enable it in apache and then restart apache [22:23] DM|: It might also help to change the login background and the desktop background to the same color you put, if you haven't done so already. [22:24] 0dd-rationale did that :) [22:24] kinaole: no, just klick on system > administration > update manager , and dist-upgrade should be there...

[22:52] hmm, what video output are you using? most common are xv, x11, gl [22:52] i am back...i have a chunk out of my terminal window that leads me to believe that it didn't work [22:52] oh man [22:52] UbuntuPwns: Is it possible to install Windows on an external drive? I remember it would not let me. [22:52] no windows wont recognise my external :( [22:52] what option do i type to get it to automaticly mount on startup? [22:52] Odd-rationale: windows requires that it's installed on the master HD [22:52] DrHalan, oops forgot to direct to you, what video output are you using? most common are xv, x11, gl [22:52] secretrk1314: So the line in fstab could be /dev/sdb /home/diskb ext3 defaults 1 2 [22:52] Ubuntu has NO probs "seeing" my External USB hdd [22:52] kinaole: so i DID that and it matches what you sent but ./mkinitramfs still reports /bin/busybox is not statically linked: cannot proceed" [22:53] eternalswd, no idea shouldnt x11 be standert? [22:53] standart* [22:53] i dont even see a /dev/sdb in etc/fstab [22:53] if it is fstab, it is automatically mounted by default [22:53] standard* [22:53] DrHalan, xv is the best one [22:53] I have installed Ubuntu on an external drive, but not windows. [22:53] ubuntupwns: i guess windows needs to be on the internal then [22:53] eternalswd, thx how can i swtich to xv? [22:53] how long does a typical ispconfig install take? [22:54] the problem is whenever i startup i have to goto mycomputer doubble click this drive then type in root password [22:54] Any Kubuntu user here? === Gunirus is now known as [Gunirus] [22:54] UnknownUniverse: #kubuntu [22:54] ubuntupwns: what device is your bios currently set to boot from? [22:54] secretrk1314:If it is fstab, it is automatically mounted by default. And I though you wanted to ADD this to your fstab. Why it is not there after installations, I don't know. [22:54] phantom784, hmmm. im confused on what to do, since i donno how to edit grub. to "Chain" my hDD's [22:54] phantom784, the external [22:55] dang [22:55] i thought ubuntu could at least mount a drive for me [22:55] i must be doing somthing wrong because this seems like to simple of a thing === ConstyXIV is now known as ConstyXIV|eating [22:55] At installation, it should recognize your disks and set up a mount in fstab [22:55] well im past installation now [22:55] Which would you reccomend? Live GParted CD or Live Partition Magic CD? (which has GParted) [22:56] secrettrk1314: At installation, it should recognize your disks and set up a mount in fstab [22:56] ubuntupwns: if you install windows on the internal, then you won't have to reinstall grub on the external. you'll just add a menu option on the grub on the external that'll boot to windows [22:56] well it didnt so what do i do now? [22:56] DrHalan, under preferences, check the Advanced options box in the bottom right, then expand Video and select Output modules. Then you should be able to select Xvideo extension video output [22:56] bastid_raZor, I'm out. see ya buddy [22:56] secrettrk1314: Add the line to fstab, edit it, see above. [22:56] google seems to turn up no good resaults for this situation [22:56] What is a good mud client for ubuntu [22:56] ? [22:56] MystaMax, thanks.. have a great one [22:57] Odd-rationale: Gparted... [22:57] one more question. . . I can't get audacity to record what I hear no matter what I do. I have downloaded alsamixer for the command line and everything. Nothing is muted, etc. I am using ALSA. Everything else works sound wise. I get this error Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate. [22:57] phantom784, ok but how do i do that? im not sure the name of my internal hdd [22:57] i dont understand what add an extra row means [22:57] hit enter? [22:57] secrettrk1314: let's first check some things, if you say "mount", do you see a line about /dev/sdb? [22:57] if anyone will help, i will paste in the piece of code i got from my terminal if you IM me (still regarding error 17 and 18) [22:58] burwaco: For any specific reasons? Just curious. [22:58] no there is no /dev/sdb [22:58] eternalswd, where under preferences? [22:58] if you unplug your external and then install windows, the internal will be the only place it can install, so you'll end up installing it there. i forget exactly how the windows installer works [22:58] Odd-rationale: partition magic isn't free... [22:58] burwaco: How much is it? [22:58] ubuntupwns: the windows installer will probably call it c: [22:58] i have a plain text file that shows up in nautilus as a "GMC link" file, yet a number of similar files show as "plain text document".... what's going on? [22:58] DrHalan, expand Video and then under Output modules [22:58] phantom784, yea ive thought of that too [22:59] i know that /dev/hdd1 is the drive i want though and its there [22:59] Odd-rationale: don't know, but not free is enough for me... [22:59] secrettrk1314: try this "sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt", then browse /mnt to see if your disk is there! [22:59] k [22:59] phantom784, i just wasnt sure how grub would handle it all === fishyman_ is now known as FiShYmAn [22:59] i need assistance with unbutu server [22:59] secrettrk1314: ok, replace sdb with hdd1 [22:59] k [22:59] re [22:59] secrettrk1314: wait [23:00] all do you disable all the 3D compiz stuff? [23:00] ubuntupwns: grub is on the external, so it won't even be touched by the windows install, and you'll still be able to boot into linux by booting from the external, and into windows by booting from the internal [23:00] EightyFiveOnline, what are you needing help doing? [23:00] secrettrk1314: So you see /dev/hdd1 in "mount" output, ok? [23:00] burwaco: Well, saw you can download it from the website. Didn't see any price tag. :) [23:00] getting lamp installe [23:00] ubuntupwns: however, it's a pain to go into the bios config whenever you want to change oses, so you can make grub on the exteral have an option to boot windows from the internal also [23:00] phantom784, ok so i would just have to unplug the external every time i wanna go into windows? [23:00] yes [23:00] secrettrk1314: To which directory is it mounted? [23:00] burwaco - dist-upgrade is running now [23:00] Help! Used dd to transfer everything from my 5.5GB partition on old HD to new 18GB partition on new HD but now when on the new HD some applications still read 5.5GB, nothing has recognized the growth, apart from fdisk, etc? [23:01] kinaole: let's home it works... [23:01] secrettrk1314: And where would you like to mount it? [23:01] its at /media/disk [23:01] ubuntupwns: once grub on there is configured to point to windows, you won't have to unplug, and in fact won't even be able to get to grub if you do unplug it (but you could still boot to windows by pointing the bios directly at the internal) [23:01] OldPink - df [23:01] hi all [23:01] i guess i want to mount it anywhere? [23:01] secrettrk1314: which text editor you prefer? nano? gedit? [23:01] Odd-rationale: is it version 8.0 ? [23:01] howdy, anybody using xfs/jfs? [23:01] no lamp help? [23:02] i gedit [23:02] 85 ... what about lamp? [23:02] kinaole: What? df? [23:02] am thinking of switching to one of them for my mythtv system, leaning towards xfs but am reading about fragility problems wit hregards to unclean shutdowns [23:02] i want to get it installed but cant get neting to work [23:02] burwaco: nope :( didn't know version 8.0 existed. [23:02] So open /etc/fstab with gedit and write there a new line "/dev/hdd1 /home/mydiskb ext3 defaults 1 2" or similar [23:02] question what is the difference between glut and gnome frontend ? [23:02] OldPink ... df shows free / used space on all mounted devices [23:02] ola [23:02] phantom784, ok thanks for the help :D [23:03] kinaole: /dev/hda1 5281316 3642592 1370444 73% / [23:03] EightyFiveOnline, you should be able to just install via apt-get, sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0 php5-mysql php5-mysqli [23:03] ok thanks [23:03] ubuntupwns: you're welcome [23:03] OldPink - use df -h ... if you want units in Mb rather than blocks [23:03] secrettrk1314: So open /etc/fstab with gedit and write there a new line "/dev/hdd1 /home/mydiskb ext3 defaults 1 2" or similar [23:03] with the . after apt-get? [23:04] kinaole: /dev/hda1 5.1G 3.5G 1.4G 73% / [23:04] kinaole: Gparted says 73% used, but has the sizes right. Meaning it's just filled 73% with supposedly nothing. [23:04] Odd-rationale: pm live cd probably lets you do all changes, then when you say ok, write to disk it poeps out something like: "writing changes to mbr requires $$$" ;-) [23:04] EightyFiveOnline, I'm pretty sure there's better docs online I'm just going off the top of my head [23:04] secrettrk1314: then try this "sudo umount /dev/hdd1" [23:04] secrettrk1314: then simulate startup "sudo mount -a" [23:04] burwaco: lol I'll just use GParted Thanks! [23:04] OldPink - where is the new 18gb drive? hdb1? [23:04] how does nautilus determine what file type a given file is? [23:05] didnt work and the online info doenst get me far [23:05] Ok guys. I have installed mobility x1400 somehow. Now When I click on a system -> prefererences -> appearance ->visual effects extra or any other It says, that it couldn't be loaded. Do i have install some more packages for compiz ?? [23:05] EightyFiveOnline, according to the docs, LAMP is installed with server edition [23:05] Ok guys. I have installed mobility x1400 somehow. Now When I click on a system -> prefererences -> appearance ->visual effects extra or any other It says, that it couldn't be loaded. Do i have install some more packages for compiz ?? [23:05] secrettrk1314: I assumed you 2nd disk is formatted with Linux, as ext3? Is that true? Did "mount" say so? [23:05] i cant find it anywhere [23:06] kinaole, nope, hda1 [23:06] question what is the difference between glut and gnome frontend for celestia ? [23:06] someone know about free xml parser\validator\editor ? [23:06] kinaole, hda1, the one that, for some stupid reason, still reads 5.5GB [23:06] EightyFiveOnline, did you run locate? [23:06] OldPink - hda1 does not have 18gb - only 5.5 [23:06] Gate: i dont have permission to save the text file [23:06] in the console? [23:06] OldPink - what does fdisk show? [23:07] fdisk /dev/hda [23:07] Is there a way I can make all of my stupid startup programs load BEFORE my desktop shows up? [23:07] ... then p [23:07] Les_Caesars, which startup programs are you referring to? do they require X? [23:07] Les_Caesars: don't think so [23:08] EightyFiveOnline: lamp is usually linux (ubuntu), with apache, mysql, and php [23:08] i know that [23:08] Les_Ceasars: User System-Preferences-Session [23:08] Yes, they do require X. But I don't mean for them to load before X starts. I just want it to load before I start KDE. Like, during the loading menu [23:08] EightyFiveOnline, where else can you run stuff on server, all you have is a console, are you sure you're running server edition? [23:08] how do i get it up and running [23:08] kinaole: Disk /dev/hda1: 19.4 GB, 19469205504 bytes [23:08] install and test each in turn ... I do not think there is a lamp package like they have for windows [23:08] i installed the server edition and installed the kde gui [23:08] I don't suppose anyone has tried Gnomad with a Creative Zen? Does it support it? [23:08] * snkmad is away: I'm busy [23:09] Les_Ceasars: In KDE, there should be a thing like Session under Gnome [23:09] EightyFiveOnline, ah, okay, run this from the terminal: locate apache2 [23:09] EightyFiveOnline, or you can check your running processes: ps aux | grep apache2 [23:10] OldPink - that does not match what df shows [23:10] this comes up /usr/share/doc/librpc-xml-perl/README.apache2 [23:10] kinaole: THAT'S THE PROBLEM! [23:10] EightyFiveOnline, is that the only thing that comes up? [23:10] yup [23:10] I see it. Unfortunately though, it doesn't mention anything related to autostart. Everything I can find about autostart is a bunch of shortcuts in ~/.kde/Autostart [23:10] kinaole: Something, somewhere makes it think it's on the old HD. ONLY THE NEW 20GB HD IS IN. [23:11] EightyFiveOnline: what happens when you point a broweser at http://localhost ? [23:11] my real problem is that KDE opens up kwin, then opens up compiz (because it loads fusion-icon), and there's an annoying 10 second black-out when it does this. It doesn't happen in gnome [23:11] OldPink - can you jumber and cable to run both at once? [23:11] After having numerous problems installing Ubuntu from CD, I give up. [23:11] An error occurred while loading http://localhost: [23:11] Could not connect to host localhost. [23:12] EightyFiveOnline, guess you don't have it yet. One question then before we continue, are you using this as an actual server, or just something local for testing? [23:12] Ubuntu 5.10-7.04 was so easy to install. === ubuntu__ is now known as _eReN_ [23:12] EightyFiveOnline: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [23:12] Why can't I get this one installed? [23:12] command not found [23:12] When I try to log into the ubuntu wiki site, I get a message saying: Invalid user name 'Odd-rationale'. What is that matter? [23:13] I've checked the MD5, I've tried different speeds, different discs, and it always fails to install [23:13] EightyFiveOnline: or ... sudo apache2ctl start [23:13] EightyFiveOnline: sudo apt-get install apache2 [23:14] hi all, two questions. first, i just upgraded to gutsy and for some reason it just displays a blank screen the entire time im booting up until the login window shows up, theres no more ubuntu screen, is this normal? [23:14] wants to install something [23:14] EightyFiveOnline: yep - that will get you a web server [23:15] EightyFiveOnline, if you're just doing development, the easiest way to get things up and running is to install xampp which packages a lamp installation and puts it in /opt/lamp [23:15] Is unetbootin any good? does it work? is it easy? will it need to re-download ubuntu? [23:15] second of all, my network manager applet for some reason says "No network connection" and when i click on it, "No network devices have been found" yet im still connected to the internet, whats that? [23:16] EightyFiveOnline: eternalsd may have an easier 1 package install ... never used it [23:16] does anyone have problems with vmware workstation in gutsy? [23:16] EightyFiveOnline: I would then do apt-get install php5-dev and mysql-server [23:17] <- prefers the control of separtate packages ... I also use postgresql instead of mysql at times [23:17] 7.10 has been installing for a couple hours at least, stuck at 15% on "Detecting File Systems". Can I close it and start the install over without any problems? [23:17] ciao a tutti sono nuovo mi aiutate ad installare la lingua italiana? [23:18] !it | miki [23:18] miki: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:18] hello! [23:18] hello all! [23:18] does anyone have problems with vmware workstation in gutsy? [23:18] how can i get the source for package X using aptitude/apt-get ?

[23:19] how do i check [23:19] k0001: er, apt-get source rather [23:19] EightyFiveOnline: console prompt back - no errors? [23:20] anyone here set up an adhoc network with aphost? [23:20] k0001, apt-get source [23:20] i closed it so cant prompt back [23:20] EightyFiveOnline: if so, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" will start it if not already running [23:20] EightyFiveOnline, what are you going to be using the server for [23:21] <_mastro_> hi all, what's the package with the debugging symbols for thunderbird mail client?

[23:29] How come I can use fonts from Artwiz in Gnome but not in fluxbox ? :( [23:29] whiskey dont hate [23:29] EightyFiveOnline: If you want a nice lamp app to play with and learn from ... take a look at sugarcrm www.sugarcrm.com - they have a free and open source version, and their install will tell you a lot about your lamp stack [23:30] ... it does run fine on ubuntu [23:30] whiskeytango: who cares about limewire ?

I like splash screens! [23:38] EightyFiveOnline, now you should have a full lamp stack. Try adding a php page in /var/www with contents as described at http://help.mosso.com/article.php?id=082 [23:38] AstroBomber: sudo update-grub , that would rebuild it; try cp (copying) the grub to somewhere safe first [23:38] I guess it have something to do with the framebuffer?

[23:49] http://members.on.nimp.org/?u=timecop [23:49] EightyFiveOnline, if you had mysql database, you should have made a sql dump to a file, you can load that then into the mysql server.

[23:54] firefox sucks, it just locked up again, or maybe the plugin I am using sucks [23:54] I just restarted ubuntu, and my graphics have been switched into low-resolution, generic PnP mode. Is there any way to find out what they should be/were set to?

[23:54] Perrako: first choose GNU/Linux [23:54] k [23:54] huge crash... === knoppix is now known as linunatico [23:54] EightyFiveOnline, and you still need to set up your users for mysql under linux [23:54] redheat, grub isnt' part of a partition, it's part of the "Master Boot Record". [23:54] when I start stellarium, X crashes...:( [23:55] redheat, grub installs on MBR, not at partitions. [23:55] no me entero tioooooooooo!!! [23:55] Perrako: After that you should see something about fix Grub? [23:55] grrr more complicated than i expected [23:55] Something weird is happening to an X session I'm trying to create: I can't seem to change its resolution! It behaves strange, as if the screen's smaller than the 'screen' it's trying to display. If I move the mouse to the edges, it scrolls the screen.

[23:55] i issue this command "update-alternatives --config java" and i recieved the following message "*+ 3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java" so i t looks like java 6 is set as default [23:55] redheat, so after reinstalling it grub will be re-writed. And you will have clean ubuntu installation. [23:55] isn't there a command to do so [23:55] hello [23:55] redheat, you don't need to clean it out, just re-install grub over it [23:55] but there isn't way to do that [23:55] I need help with my eternal hard drive [23:55] Ebiggs, alright -- I'll try that. Which partition should I set as bootable? I'm splitting a 250 disk between ubuntu and windows [23:55] hello [23:55] !who | junkbox [23:55] junkbox: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:55] Almar- what's wrong with it? [23:56] I stored all my documents to an eternal hard drive before I installed Ubuntu, but the damn thing won't mount [23:56] i mean [23:56] i get an error [23:56] non c'è nessuno in grado di aiutarmi? [23:56] And grub said it installed to hd0, but I have another disk that's hda [23:56] junkbox: did you install the sun-java6-plugin package? [23:56] Perrako: Most people just install it to the MBR. I've put it on my root partition before. [23:56] !it | miki_ [23:56] miki_: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[23:56] booyah [23:56] nny: rename ~/.gnome2/session [23:56] jrib: thanks [23:56] ubotu: yes sorry. you are corrected i should have [23:56] scragar: because NTFS is marked in use [23:57] i need a link of the install screen shots for 7.10 alternate install, please [23:57] Ebiggs, so which partition should I set to bootable? my linux one? [23:57] I've googled .. no joy [23:57] Perrako: You mean where to install the bootloader? [23:57] Ebiggs, no -- setting the boot flag [23:57] Almar- open up synaptic package manager and search for the program that let's you interact with NTFS formats [23:57] junkbox, fyi ubotu is a bot that provides info ;) [23:58] Juz_moi: why? [23:58] scragar: sorry, noob alert [23:58] I'm trying to convince a guy it's not that damn hard [23:58] Almar-: 1 sec, I'll look it up. [23:58] jrib: yes i did. issued a "apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" and should be installed [23:58] Perrako: Sorry, I don't know about that...I only have one HDD so all I had to do was tell it to install to the MBR. [23:58] he's freaked by the "text" install statement [23:58] Hehe [23:58] okay [23:58] I'll just try the sgd and we'll see how it goes [23:58] junkbox: what does 'apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin' return? use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [23:59] Perrako: Good luck. ;_ [23:59] thanks for the in eternalswd.

[23:59] Almar- go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal [23:59] Anytime. [23:59] scragar: yes [23:59] Is there a webpage or wiki entry somewhere that will explain sensible auto-update configuration? ie, so I can have my box do an apt-get upgrade every night that will pick up any critical security flaws etc.? [23:59] Almar- then type: sudo apt-get install libntfs9
