[00:01] iftab? [00:02] maybe he misyped fstab [00:02] Nope.. iftab should list network interfaces. [00:02] [18:02] hi. trying to get a iomega magic 80G Go Drive (usb) to recognize. any suggestions? where do i find usb device numbers? is this something i should mount manually via mount command? [00:02] I wouldn't want to lack fstab :/ [00:03] Iwanowitch: try ifconfig [00:03] perhaps you are looking for /etc/network/interfaces [00:04] or as ddddd mentioned just do an ifconfig -a [00:04] and iwconfig for wireless [00:05] did not know about that one [00:05] Well, guides are referring to changing stuff in /etc/iftab, and I have one on my other computer, so I was wondering how important it actually is. [00:05] always got those by ifconfig [00:06] you could try locate iftab [00:06] But I suppose my problem is a bit worse, as I've seemed to have lost my wireless interface.. [00:08] Iwanowitch: you can use iwconfig for configuring wireless interfaces, or the gui tool: applications -> system -> network [00:10] does anyone know you can use a \ as a line continuation character in a crontab? The man isn't being to helpful [00:10] Mmm. Problem is scanning nor connecting works. But I'll be figuring it out, thanks. [00:10] Iwanowitch: there is also a cli tool iwlist --help gives info [00:12] zoredache, yes [00:15] im getting ready to install Xubuntu on my T40. any thing i should be watching for? [00:18] Iwanowitch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs maybe you can find some help here [00:28] Yeah, I'm looking around. Thanks. :) [00:57] how do you find out if something is accessing a removable device? [00:59] try ps aux | grep usb :) [01:00] lsof | grep 'mount point' [01:02] blarg [01:02] still wont let me unmount it [01:03] ksuspend_usbd and usb-storage are using it [01:04] ah no its brasero >: [01:04] success!!! [01:04] what worked? [01:05] finding what was keeping me from ejecting my usb hard drive [01:06] I believe his question was more along the lines of what command did you use to find that information out [01:07] oh [01:07] the one you gave: lsof | grep 'mount point' [01:14] k [01:15] so does linux natively have drivers for mobility radeon 7500? [01:49] guys whats the best way to have all drives appear as one under linux? [01:50] Not sure I understand the question [01:50] like raid 0 [01:51] have 2 500gigs appear as 1tb [01:53] without stripping [01:53] like a pool [01:53] JBOD [01:53] just a bunch of discs? [01:54] does jbod have stripping? [01:54] i don't want one drive to fail and all to go with it [01:55] then you want to mirrow [01:55] mirror [01:55] Raid1 [01:55] though you dont add the drives then [01:56] hmm not really mirror i have random sizes [01:57] well you could partition the drives to the size of the lowest capacity one [01:57] and then do raid 1 or 5 [01:57] but that really isnt going to offer much redundancy [01:57] 3 500s a 350 and 160 [01:57] don't want redundancy [01:57] just want all drives to appear as one [01:58] then you need to set up a JBOD array [01:58] if one drive fails in jbod will all go with it? [01:58] data i mean [01:59] no just the data on that drive will go [01:59] depends on how you set it up as to what data goes where [01:59] how would i go about setting up jbod? anything with a simple gui? [01:59] which linux disto is best for samba [01:59] some hardware controllers i think support load balancing but i believe thedefault is to just putdata on a drive till its full and then move to the next one [02:00] is there a freenas like app that allows jbod? [02:00] google would be your friend there [02:00] i think there is a NAS distro [02:00] i thought id ask linux techies directly [02:01] would use windows home server but it has shares you can't delete which is stupid [02:02] you could try asking in #ubuntu [02:02] a bit higher traffic than here [02:02] i always get quicker responses in here :) [02:03] googling now. thanks [02:04] np sorry i couldnt offer better assistance [02:04] not at all thanks alot [03:07] I'm having a problem with my usb drive. I used to plug it in and it would just mount. I reinstalled xubuntu just recently and now it doesnt [03:08] You might have to enable it in thunar volume management [03:10] somerville32, u rock...i feel stupid now [03:11] somerville32: how could you make him feel stupid! I despise you! [03:11] somerville32, I guess I had set it up a while ago and just never messed with it. I keep my home on a seperate partition so it has probably been awhile [03:11] TheSheep, yeah maybe he should read the !CoC and stop making people feel unsmart [03:12] :P === thomas__ is now known as The-Kernel [03:20] I am trying to get my microphone input to work and I am having the damdest time of it. [03:22] I have tried installing audacity,it works, except I cannot figure out the port/input setting to get my mic working [03:26] Wyrmul: alsa [03:33] In Audacity I have: [03:33] ALSA: VIA 8235: VIA 8235 (hw 0,0) [03:33] ALSA: VIA 8235: VIA 8235 (hw 0,1) [03:33] and [03:33] ALSA: front [03:34] Wyrmul: those are two channels of your sound card [03:34] Is the boot-up screen blank by default for xubuntu? [03:34] keen which is which? [03:35] charding, no [03:35] When I turn on my machine and get past the grub screen, I see nothing but a blank screen until I get to the login screen [03:35] Turning off 'quiet' from the boot sequence doesn't help [03:35] and by turning it off, I mean removing it [03:36] Do you know what would be wrong? [03:37] I'm not sure. [03:38] charding: maybe it detected your monitor wrong and used too large resolution [03:39] charding: try editing /etc/upstrart.conf and changing the resolution to something smaller [03:39] file doesn't exist.. [03:40] is that with a particular package? [03:40] charding: upstart.conf [03:40] charding: sorry [03:40] charding: usplash.conf [03:40] upsplash [03:40] I think I'll go to sleep [03:41] that could have been it, my monitor is a lower res [03:41] I hope that's it, thanks [03:42] any further thoughts on the mic issue? [03:42] Wyrmul: you can try running alsamixer in terminal to see if it's enabled [03:42] Wyrmul: or aumix [03:44] hello all [03:45] hello [03:46] using alsamixer (aumix does not seem to be installed) mic is set to Mic2 and is full up [03:47] Wyrmul: maybe try mic1 [03:47] aaahhhhh it screaches at me. [03:47] Wyrmul: and make sure it doesn't have MM under it, just OO [03:47] It is a very low constant tone. Not like feedback [03:48] as I drop the mic setting it seems to become higher pitched [03:48] force feedback [03:49] hey guys, how do i boot from my DVD rom to install XP? i've tried setting it in the boot order but it just shows the CD rom that has been removed [03:49] heavenlyblade101: you mean windows xp? [03:49] yeah [03:49] heavenlyblade101: just boot from the windows installer cd [03:49] thats the thing [03:49] it wont [03:49] heavenlyblade101: you can't install windows from linux [03:50] im booting with the DVD in and Grub keeps coming up [03:50] heavenlyblade101: enable booting from cd in bios [03:50] the cd drive needs to be earlier in the boot order than the HD [03:50] i tried, but all that comes up is the CD drive that is no longer there. [03:51] it detects the DVD drive but in the boot order it doesnt give me that option [03:51] Is your bios detecting the drive on every boot? or is it set for a specific drive? [03:52] it detects the drive as my primary master but it wont list it in boot order [03:54] what happens when you boot and tell it the CD drive? [03:54] nothing, it boots into grub and linux [03:55] try removing the hard drive from the boot order entirely. as long as it is enabled the XP installer will be able to see it. once the XP installer reboots for the first time go in an add it back to the boot order. [03:56] how do i remove it from the boot order? [03:56] also think about moving yout hard drive to be primary master and the optical drive to be secondary master [03:56] k i'll try removing the HDD from the boot order first [03:58] nope. nothing. should i try switching the hdd to primary? [04:00] + [04:01] nope. can i boot off the DVD drive through grub? [04:01] What bios do you have? [04:02] pheonixBios [04:05] what is your boot sequence listed as currently? [04:05] removable devices, CD rom, network boot, hdd [04:08] you may need to use a windows boot disk then if your BIOS won't support booting from the DVD drive [04:08] i tried with a 98 boot disk (floppy) but it didnt work [04:09] and i cant make an XP boot disk because my lappy doesnt have a floppy and hte only other system is 98 [04:10] ... no Idea then. sorry [04:11] :/ [04:11] Whats the problem? [04:12] cant get my system to boot off a Windows XP DVD [04:16] heavenlyblade101: technically we are not a windows support group... [04:16] lol [04:16] bug #1 [04:16] heavenlyblade101, There is ##windows [04:16] Launchpad bug 1 in ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [04:16] ? [04:16] There is a windows support channel [04:16] lol but its trying to get it through linux haha, i f***ed up on the dual boot hting [04:17] heavenlyblade101: so you have the windows installed already? [04:17] but that windows support channel. is it on this server? [04:17] heavenlyblade101: yes [04:17] and no i have xubuntu installed already [04:18] heavenlyblade101, You want to install Windows first [04:18] heavenlyblade101, Windows will overwrite the boot info and you'd have to reinstall grub [04:19] oh well, i'll reinstall linux i just wanna get windows installed so i can have the best of both worlds [04:21] too bad theres no linux wubi to install windows [04:21] too bad i have to deal with grub lol [04:21] heavenlyblade101: the problem is not grub, the problem is your windows not booting [04:22] heavenlyblade101: it's before your computer even tries grub [04:22] heehee [04:22] grub is cool [04:22] well what could be causing it not to boot off my dvd drive? [04:22] heavenlyblade101: bios settings or brokedn dvd or broken drive [04:23] drive works, dvd is good, lol gotta be bios settings [04:23] heavenlyblade101: youre having trouble booting xubuntu? [04:23] hold on, gonna try linux live in the dvd [04:26] k live CD and DVD works in VM ware [04:28] so how can i completely get rid of grub and xubuntu and start fresh? [04:29] heavenlyblade101: one way is to boot the windows cd and install windows over it [04:31] :/ lol the problem i am having [04:37] heavenlyblade101: believe me, it's not related to xubuntu or linux in any way [04:55] alright well thanks for the help guys. ttyl [05:51] help, any reason why right click reboots? Well, sorta. I get the ctrl alt F8 screen then back into login scrn [05:53] sorry, right clicking the terminal icon from the apps menu [05:55] umm [05:56] hmm.. I just rebooted and after the reboot the desktop was abit messed up, but I fixed it.. I had to go on desktop settings and make sure xfce was allowed to manage the desktop.. but how can I set this so I dont have to do it if I reboot? theres no save button or anything.. [05:57] bloony: it's saved on change [05:57] TheSheep: but why was it changed when I rebooted? [05:58] bloony: apparently the xfdesktop program crashed for some reason [05:58] hum.. ok [05:58] bloony: that's the program that 'manages your desktop' [05:58] yeah [05:58] k [06:01] hey, any reason why right clicking terminal icon logs me off [06:07] peacepipejv: no idea, you have sis or i810 graphics card? [06:08] ooh, integrated grafix [06:08] old old p3 [06:08] peacepipejv: there was a bug the terminal that made X crash on these cards [06:09] peacepipejv: try editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root and changing the DefaultDepth to 16 [06:09] TheSheep: you know what, same thing happens when i try to open terminal [06:09] ok, stnby [06:12] TheSheep: how can I do that w/out term access to gedit [06:13] peacepipejv: press alt+f2 and type 'gksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [06:15] haha, i forgot I was troublshooting xubuntu, not ubuntu [06:17] hewwow [06:17] hello young child [06:17] i would like to inquire about your spoons [06:18] I like rusty spoons [06:18] TheSheep: xorg.conf is open. its blank, cept warning about logged in as root at the top [06:18] peacepipejv: you sure the path is right? [06:19] doh, capital X [06:22] TheSheep: thanx, it worked yo [06:23] peacepipejv: great [06:23] peacepipejv: as a side effect, it also saves some memory [06:23] peacepipejv: but displays slightly less colors [06:23] darn [06:23] fewer [06:24] but you shouldn't notice unless you look at gradients closely [06:25] TheSheep: it was showing some vert lines also,which are fixed. Anyway,its a work pc. Graphix dont matter [06:28] QUIT [and im out} [06:28] oopes [06:28] quit [08:43] hello [08:46] I searched on the Google, but wasn't able to get any useful information about connecting a Windows Mobile system to a linux... Is it possible? === rob1 is now known as rob [09:08] synce-kde << thats all i can find in the repo's, maybe active sync runs trough wine, you could try that [09:10] oaky, very thx, ill try it. :) [09:11] :) good luck [09:15] ill have to restart, brb! [09:38] anyone know how to get the events section of firestarter working? I can't get it to show stuff [09:40] gerro, Maybe there isn't any events? :P [09:40] somerville32: I generated several like how their webpage said but it didn't show up and I'm in the dmz on my network [09:40] Weird. [09:40] Maybe the firewall isn't up [09:41] no its up [09:41] I can block all data going out with it [09:45] somerville32: is there like a special dependency for the logging support that isn't installed by default? I used the one in repository [09:45] It always worked for me [09:46] hmm I have sysklogd turned off but I tried turning that on and rebooting still nothing though [09:46] your on 7.10 right? [09:52] wow irc with pidgin looks nice [09:52] how do I color my name though on the side? [12:05] ah crap firefox whacked out and enlarged everything which button is decrease font size? [12:06] ctrl + - ? [12:06] Maybe add a shift in there [12:06] umm that fixed it, don't know how I triggered it [12:07] I think I have one of those feature creep mouse loggers floating around in my browser somewhere >,> [12:07] :] [12:30] I get this error when I run firestarter from terminal http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46079/ [12:31] * somerville32 looks. [12:34] gerro, Yea, I get that too often [12:35] somerville: so the secret of starting a fire is to use lots of small gnomes? [12:36] haha [12:36] I'm sorry couldn't resist lol [12:36] :) [12:39] firestarter website still handing out 5.04 debs [12:40] Ubuntu 5.04? [12:40] yeah hoary hedgehog [12:41] yucky [12:55] somerville32: any idea where firestarter pulls its logs from? [12:55] gerro, I'm pretty sure firestarter is a firewall :P [12:55] It pulls its logs from its self [12:56] umm I kinda thought it manipulated iptables and used standard system logs in /var while being merely a gui [12:56] Thats what I thought too [12:57] " Firestarter is a complete firewall tool for Linux machines." [12:57] Depends on iptables though [12:57] Must use it [13:03] somerville32: yours shows event logs right? could you tell me what you have set for /etc/firestarter/firewall on one log_support= [13:03] that line I mean [13:05] 1 [13:09] underneath the first one [13:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46080/ is what i have [13:10] oh wait that is if kernel doesnt support logs [13:12] anyone know how to get change sudo application themes [13:13] like kubuntu has "sudo system-settings" [13:13] kumamoto, hmm? [13:13] gksudo you mean? [13:15] haven't used gksudo , does it do the same thing as sudo gnome-theme-manager [13:15] kumamoto, What do you want to accomplish? [13:17] some of the applications seems to have some generic look or default look and want to change them to look same the other one in there [13:18] kumamoto, You can not. [13:18] thought so [13:19] It is most likely because they're using a different Ui library [13:19] ah [13:30] could anyone please tell me how to convert image from png to jpeg with gimp? [13:34] mikubuntu, Just open and than saveas [13:34] and change the file extension [13:34] ok, thanks, got it [13:35] np :] [13:53] http://www.flickr.com/photos/14483391@N03/2070702491/ .... we just installed ubuntu on my friends machine, and he boots up, then goes along a little while, until his screen does this (see photo link)... can anyone venture a guess as to the problem? [13:55] Does restarting the X server fix it? (ie. ctrl + alt + del or rebooting)? [13:56] ctrl+del+backspace [13:56] yea [13:56] indeed, ctrl+alt+del would reboot ^^ [13:57] ctrl+alt+del doesn't do that in Linux usually :P [13:57] depends [13:57] outside X it does [13:57] indeed [13:58] often you don't even need to be root to do it [13:58] which is a bit odd [13:59] (considering you can always do that with ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+del then) [14:04] http://www.flickr.com/photos/14483391@N03/2070702491/ .... we just installed ubuntu on my friends machine, and he boots up, then goes along a little while, until his screen does this (see photo link)... can anyone venture a guess as to the problem? === totalwormage is now known as totalwormface [14:14] http://www.flickr.com/photos/14483391@N03/2070702491/ .... we just installed ubuntu on my friends machine, and he boots up, then goes along a little while, until his screen does this (see photo link)... can anyone venture a guess as to the problem?

[14:53] is there some way I can copy file permissions from one file to another or several others? [15:37] Hi, my xubuntu 6.06.1 LTS laptop is taking very long time on doing "Checking root file system...", and there is no disk access. How can I disable bootsplash and see what's actually happening on the console? [15:37] jelly, I believe you can press Ctrl+Alt+F1 [15:38] vinze: I want to disable it completely for one boot [15:39] in any case, c-a-f1 doesn't work [15:39] jelly, I believe it needed some messing with /etc/fstab, but I'm not skilled enough to give you any advice on that [15:40] yup, fstab doesn't have anything to do with it. [15:42] solution: remove "splash" from kernel parameters in grub menu entry [15:51] in gutsy can i use security as well as gutsy-security ? [16:29] Question: I've got xubuntu 7.10 and a wep wireless connection. Everytime I start up I have to type the password to open my "deafult" keyring. Is there a way to disable the password on the keyring? [16:29] stone[no], found with Google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192281 [16:33] vinze: thanx :) I did find that thread when I searched yesterday... [17:42] is it possible to disable right-click on the xfce4-panel? Not just kiosk mode, but completely. [17:42] Id even take disabling right click in xfwm4 [17:42] :) [17:44] hi, since two days or so my laptops somethimes locks up during bootup. actually it locks up while loading the xserver, i would say. both keyboard and mouse are dead and my numlock and capslock are blinking - any idea what this could mean? [17:44] (also my Xorg.log is a lot shorter when bootup isn't achieved as to when bootup is completed successfully) [17:46] Gadi: i'm not sure whether this would work but have you tried setting Option "Buttons" "1" in the xorg.conf file? [18:25] how can I make Xubuntu recognise the RELEASE of a key when mapping shortcuts? (I'm interested in getting a "Super" key press open the applications menu, and have "Super + E" show Thunar, "Super + R" show run etc.) [18:51] hey anyone know how to create a desktop icon in e17? [19:41] yo umm is there anything in synpatic for like unique ip clicks... any programs? [19:42] uh, what? [19:42] u know like an autoclicker... it or something like that [19:42] it goes to a site like 20times with a diff ip [19:42] like an ip spoofer..... [19:42] or something like that [19:43] ie, a way to illegal trick Google for adsense fraud?

[19:46] You'll have to try them and see which suits you best anton [19:47] ohhhhhhh [19:48] so no1 has an answer [19:49] RebelX: or nobody wants to give you the answer [19:50] well can some1 pls give me the answer >_>!

[19:51] hi, to enable sending/receiving files/images to/from my sony ericsson cellphone, do i just i just have to install bluez? i actually already installed the "bluetooth" package which pulled in bluez, but i would like an icon that shows the bluetooth status, that lets me en/disable the bluetooth device, and notifies me of incoming file transfers. how should i do this? [19:52] i'm guessing gnome-bluetooth is what i want, but i don't know if it will work on xubuntu [19:52] Dieterbe: No idea, but topyli knows a fair bit about bluetooth phones [19:55] http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/CIMP/Jmx*PTExOTYyNzcxNzczNjEmcHQ9MTE5NjI3NzE5NTY4NSZwPSZkPSZuPQ==.jpg [19:55] oops [19:58] Hello [19:58] i have a question [20:00] Just ask your question Spasterix [20:01] i want to install remote desktop in mu xubuntu [20:01] i want to connect with remote desktop from windows xp to xubuntu [20:01] look at setting up x11vnc [20:02] i dont have monitor [20:02] just ssh =) [20:02] sounds like a plan [20:02] so it is even easier... just install any vnc xerver [20:02] I have a PC without a monitor, could just remote desktop to it [20:03] yes.. i am install it [20:03] either that, or install an xserver on windows, and run your X11 apps through ssh [20:03] so .. i have to install xserver on windows.. [20:03] no, you don't have to... I was just suggesting that as one way to remotely run gui apps from windows [20:04] you can setup something like vnc, freenx, or maybe something else [20:04] i think .. i am install vnc on xubuntu [20:05] but .. how i can check out that [20:23] hey, i have i a problem with the "applications" menu. how can i move the "network" menu/button into the "system" menu [20:24] since right click on "applications" => modify menu does only contain terminal, thunar and execute but not system, network office etc..
