Can I fix this somewhat? [00:02] Centaur5-> just run iptables -F; iptables -vL in your gateway and this should show your default policies [00:02] Centaur5, bulmer: flushing iptables doesn't reset default policies.. that took me several days to find out.. just a hint [00:02] tomchuk, how do I enable that? [00:02] bulmer: ah.. guess you knew about that one.. nevermind then =) [00:02] tomchuk: i was having problems with sound and wireless connection even though wireless showed there so i used the latest ubuntu dev kernel [00:02] Slart-> it doesnt but i dont know what his default policy settings are [00:02] bulmer: Do you want me to pastebin those?

[00:08] Jordan_U: oh.. I think I'll stick with apt then =)-- what package was it? [00:09] majicp|laptop, now you see him , now yo don't [00:09] Slart, Many packages, some of which are kind of important, like apt itself :), something is seriously screwed up with apt, but I can't for the life of me figure out what :) [00:09] !info apt [00:09] apt: Advanced front-end for dpkg.

[00:10] apt is a frontend ? I thought it was the core thingy [00:10] I just tried installing a package, for my touchpad, and when I find it in Sys>Pref and click on it, it tells me I need to set "SHMconfig" "true" in xorg.conf [00:10] bulmer: Okay, I made a new paste at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47895/ [00:10] how do i get pics from my camera computer is not reading it at all [00:10] Pelo: just like yum is a frontend for rpm [00:10] But I can't find "SHMconfig [00:10] " [00:10] Slart, It is, but there is no installation candidate when I run "apt-cache policy apt" [00:10] hello [00:10] Pelo: the apt you install is a front end for apt-the package manager =) [00:10] jubilee, in the terminal gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , note X one one , not X L L [00:10] what is the terminal command to find the MD5sum of a file?

[00:11] evilmm, check in the forum and in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [00:11] Pelo: Yuh huh, incompatible, the Stuffit guys have the format secured, so I am guessing very little applications can open it. [00:11] Slart, Which is one of the reasons why I know it is not a problem with the repositories, and dpkg is fine once I grab packages from packages.ubuntu.com, or with smart so it's not a dependency problem [00:11] jubilee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig [00:11] hi [00:12] Centaur5-> whose at the other end of that ppp link? [00:12] thx astro76 [00:12] jubilee, I mean nothing by it , we can'T tell the user's expertise level from just a few lines [00:12] Slart, But if it's not a problem with the repositories or dependencies , but is most definitely a problem with apt then I really don't know what is left that could be causing these problems [00:12] bulmer: Our ISP Infowest [00:12] wow [00:12] !hi | R4ist| [00:12] R4ist|: Hi!

[00:13] ;d [00:13] IndyGunFreak, :P [00:13] scout: -G sets your groups to ONLY the ones you list [00:14] Pelo, i think i fixed it [00:14] jacob, congradulations [00:14] kelsin, not according to http://www.ahinc.com/linux101/users.htm [00:14] R4ist|, install Ubuntu and you can have all the shell you want [00:14] bulmer: Well do you think that having a local apache installation on that same server with the ssl module enabled would affect it? [00:14] * Pelo does a little victory dance in honor or jacob [00:14] jubilee, X11 is much different in OSx because it doesn't actually have to deal with the hardware or even drawing to the screen, just so you know.

[00:15] bulmer: Yes, we have some web applications running on that server and SSL is enabled because we're going to setup Chillispot. [00:15] jacob, no problem [00:15] kelsin, k... but is there a way to revert this ? [00:16] Jordan_U... but I at least know it's X11 and not XLL... which is what I was getting at... [00:16] no way i can update ubntu witouth a cd? i started doing like he upgradelist said,and it starts to need cds apparently:S someon please pm me,i need help...Thank [00:16] s [00:16] scout: you need to add yourselfs to the admin group again, I don't know exactly the best way to do, probably with the rescue disk adding your username to the admin group line in /etc/group [00:16] !ati [00:16] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:16] Centaur but you are not hitting your own webserver from your clients, its the apple site..yes? [00:16] Pelo: i want ;d i like shell [00:16] Pelo, Sorry to ask you specifically but do you have any idea what could cause problems with apt if not dependencies or repository settings in the sources.list? [00:16] Pelo, i've seen you a couple of times in this channel, i'll like to thank you and i look forward into you for fixing my system issues [00:16] TroXer, open menu > system > admin > software sources, and uncheck the cd from the frist tab, right at tthe bottom, then try the upgrade again [00:16] it's not provlem for you [00:16] kelsin, there isn't any other way than to add by using a rescue disk ? [00:17] Pelo, i've meet you when i first tried out ubuntu [00:17] TroXer: i think you need to remove the CD source from your source list, then it will download all the packages. [00:17] how do i get pics from my camera computer is not reading it at all [00:17] pelo ....for the first time [00:17] R4ist|, I hae no idea what thaht means [00:17] TroXer, disable the CD as a source in System > admin > software sources, or remove/comment out in /etc/apt/source.list lines referring to CD [00:17] scout: unless you have another user in the admin group, I don't think so [00:17] * LOGAN wonders what extra setting is needed before firefox plugins will work [00:17] scout: others here might know something I don't [00:17] LOGAN, Do you have the ubufox plugin installed?

[00:18] it lists appropriate plugins yet refuses to download [00:19] jacob, talk you me when you are pushing 40 [00:19] scout: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sudo that page has some info [00:19] why the hell is this possible!!! [00:19] sorry [00:19] :P [00:19] just freaking a bit out [00:19] Centaur5-> i agree with you, it should not affect it, [00:19] * Pelo actualy thinks he might be getting somewhere with this nice lady at work [00:19] lol === zitsep is now known as naxa [00:19] hi [00:19] hi [00:20] * Pelo gives scout a little blue pill and tells ties him to his bunk just so he doesn'T hurt himself or anyone else [00:20] is there a(n easy) way to play chess to my friend on internet using ubuntu? [00:20] scout: and for future reference always read the man page of a command since the exact syntax may be different then on the web, the man page has a note about that on the -G option (accidentally removing users from groups) [00:20] Centaur5-> as you can tell by just a ping from your client and you said its not responding right? [00:21] * R4ist| who give me shell? [00:21] naxa: there are a couple of chassgames available.. look at eboard for example [00:21] bulmer: when I ping apple, hotmail, and windowsupdate.microsoft.com I don't get a response from a client. [00:21] naxa, there is achess prog in the game section there might be a way to get the other use remote on it, you'd have to check, I know there are some website for games like that where you can play online against an apponnet useing the browser, you'd have to google for it [00:21] !pl | R4ist| [00:21] R4ist|: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [00:21] thanks for the help, all :) [00:22] Centaur5: try google instead [00:22] where can I set multiverse active to firefox plugins will download?

[00:24] turbotorben, it's just a meta package, remove it with no worry [00:25] TroXer, I believe you can disable it in System menu > Administration > Software Sources [00:25] narothepharoh, bult in webcam ? === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN [00:25] Centaur5-> your last paste is the current rules ?

[00:27] bulmer: windows 207.46.225.221 apple 17.149.160.10 hotmail 216.74.180.189 [00:27] not to mention i bert it will take forever, heaven forbid something goes wrong in the process. [00:27] TroXer, ahh, it's named slightly differently in 6.06, also keep in mind to upgrade you have to go from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10, so you might consider a fresh install... alternatively wait for 8.04 which you can upgrade straight to [00:27] narothepharoh, type blkid in the terminal and see if your camera is seen ? [00:28] whens 8,04? [00:28] jubilee workspaces as in desktops? [00:28] eek the plugin was 'installed' yet it isnt and asks for it again [00:28] astro76: really?.. id idn't know that(going from 6.06 to 8.04).. obviously if thats the case, its because they are both LTS. [00:28] TroXer, 4th month of 2008 ;) [00:28] andrew[lappy] Yes. [00:28] TroXer, the 8 is the year and the 4 is the month [00:28] IndyGunFreak, indeed, the LTS to LTS upgrade path must be supported [00:28] ctrl+alt+left/right [00:28] Centaur5-> only the 216.x.x.x is responding to a ping from my end..

[00:28] thats a long wait:P [00:28] LOGAN, which plugin is this ? [00:28] flash [00:28] IndyGunFreak, this will be the first so it should be interesting ;) [00:28] TroXer: i wuld back up and do a clean install. [00:29] astro76: lol, that will be even mroe interesting..lol [00:29] bulmer: I figured they would have pings blocked but still the server can go to all those sites but the clients can't.

[00:33] Centaur5-> okay you have netcat installed, let see if we can monitor the stuff your clients send ...hang a few [00:34] RandomUsr, no [00:34] ever since i mounted my windows partition, random folders with symbols for names keep popping up in my home folder, can someone help me? [00:34] astro76, then why does it keep prompting me? [00:34] can someone tell me which command can I use to play a sound? wav, mp3 (not necessarily), ogg [00:34] !webdav [00:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about webdav - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:34] RandomUsr, go to System > admin > software sources, and disable the cd [00:34] thought ubuntu picks up nfts drives mine has i didnt need to mount [00:35] muszek I use xmms...something akin to winamp [00:35] astro76, will that cause any ill effects or unseen caveats? [00:35] !bugreport [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about bugreport - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:35] i do not remember what i was doing, long time ago [00:35] thor: gutsy did for me, but none of the others did. [00:35] RandomUsr, nope, only reason to use the cd is to not use the internet [00:35] thor: I'm not asking for a media player, just a command line utility to play a sound file [00:35] anybody knows hot to install or guide in webdav [00:35] andrew[lappy], sorry for delay... It's never happened before 7.10... and I'm coming from Feisty. I have no external mouse, and my girlfriend doesn't like using a mouse [00:35] muszek some of the files will also play with the 'play' command but I am not sue which [00:35] oops.. Box|UK gutsy picked up my ntfs drive, but none of the previous versions did. [00:35] lol [00:35] astro76 thank you [00:35] thor: thanks [00:36] jubilee was it an upgrade or a clean install? [00:36] sigh, then I have to download the 6.04 ISO again [00:36] Centaur5-> you still have the apache turned off right? [00:36] andrew[lappy], Clean. [00:36] alain1, try asking in #web or #apache or some other appropriate channel ;) [00:36] wtf [00:36] jubilee so a clean install or a clean upgrade.... and could you try a mouse just to see if it has the same effect? [00:36] what package do i want if i want to use an ipsec connection [00:36] maybe it I mix up some files from 7.10 into 6.04 untill it works again [00:36] bulmer: yes [00:36] does anyone have any idea why random folders would appear about once per day in my home folder? [00:37] wish my ubuntu system nevered log me in this place [00:37] helluvaCSMajor: what kind? [00:37] @ helluvaCSMajor nice :) [00:37] Centaur5-> mknod backpipe p; nc -l -p 80 0backpipe [00:37] empty folders, where the names are symbols, it cannot display the name correctly [00:37] Centaur5-> type that line as root in your gateway [00:38] andrew[lappy], well I didn't know this was abnormal... it was a clean install. I deleted Feisty to get OS X Leopard on it's partition, but gave up [00:38] !proxy [00:38] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [00:38] someone using installed ubuntu 7.10 with firefox that was capable of installing flash plugin? [00:38] is Amsn any good? most my family use messenger live so looking at using amsn [00:38] Centaur5-> that basically creates a proxy server, so you can then monitor the client traffic [00:38] jubilee oooh so it is a mac [00:38] LOGAN, No there, is a bug, you need to compile the latest flash plugin. [00:39] andrew[lappy], No x86 Dell [00:39] HEllo [00:39] LOGAN, Fix has not been released yet. [00:39] ook [00:39] Can i ask what irc clients peopl use is pigeon good enough? [00:39] sir_chatty but it worked with 6.04 :O [00:39] i can't seem to install flash into firefox using the "Install Missing Plugins" button, and my list of applications is not available, so i can't seem to install any new programs; any ideas on what i should do? [00:39] fresh install of gusty [00:39] LOGAN, Yep. [00:39] i use xchat Hyuukai [00:39] !flash [00:39] bulmer: Okay, even though I ran that as root it gave a connection refused error. [00:39] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:40] LOGAN, Search for your problem on ubuntuforums.com they have a link there that will give you the fix. [00:40] AH i just got that was just wondering if it was actually worth using over the built in pigeon one [00:40] im a noob see very new to ubuntu like a day old lol [00:40] 0x10.....is this an integer...if so does it =4 or 5? [00:40] if not could you explain it? [00:40] * LOGAN googles for gnash detection in flash to send viewers message to download Flash plugin then [00:40] If I am using ubuntu with gnome, is there a way to close a window that is frozen and won't close by using the X? (Pardon me if this is a stupid question) [00:40] nettow0822_: that's hexadecimal.. ox10 would 16 if I'm correct [00:40] Hyuukai, join the club but xchat is not to disimiliar to mirc [00:40] :-! thanks [00:40] when someone gets a chance, can someone step me through finding the problem with the random folders? [00:40] that ubotu needs to be updated [00:40] AH cool i cant see many options on pigeon for mirc [00:40] i mea irc [00:41] Centaur5-> oh, ls -la backpipe that should have been created per the command earlier [00:41] TheZealot, alt+F2, enter xkill, click on frozen window [00:41] hyuukai, get xchat [00:41] i wanna b able to do perform? and so it can remember a bunch of channels i wanna be in [00:41] astro76: thanks so much! [00:41] Slart i thought so too it is used like this mask=0x10 [00:41] Hyuukai, xchat way to go [00:41] nettow0822_: THis is support for Ubuntu.. please take random chatter to !offtopic [00:42] Ok nice [00:42] when someone gets a chance, can someone step me through finding the problem with the random folders? [00:42] Centaur5-> backpipe exist now right? check via ls -la [00:42] can i ask if you use or have used samba> [00:42] bulmer: yes it did [00:42] ?* [00:42] nettow0822_: where did you write that? [00:42] helluvaCSMajor, Just ask your actual question [00:42] off topic most my family use messenger live is amsn a good equivilant? [00:42] sorry but I thought i could get help here...since i use ubuntu [00:42] does anyone in here know anything about DreamLinux [00:42] Centaur5-> and you dont have anything running off of port 80 and 81 now right? [00:42] random folders keep appearing in my home folder [00:43] how do i fix it? [00:43] Box|UK yes quite good .. its my msn client when im using ubuntu [00:43] helluvaCSMajor: random folders show up in your home-folder? what names do these folders have? when were they created? owner? contents? [00:43] slart trying to setup a parameter for lirc module [00:43] Box|UK, The interface is horrible, but has better support ( not sure what that means exactly ) than Gaim for msn [00:43] Box|UK though it can be a bit slow sometimes [00:43] thxs yancho [00:43] nettow0822_: Help with Ubuntu related problems yes... If I misread your post.. my apologies [00:43] Can someone tell me i have installed samba and smb now want to find my windows networkd files where or how o i o about it? [00:43] bulmer: not any services [00:43] nettow0822_: oh.. you're on your own then.. can't help you with that =) [00:43] thxs Jordan_U [00:43] it says i am the owner, the names are scrambled symbols that cannot be displayed, and they started when i tried mounting a windows partition one time [00:43] ok ty [00:43] helluvaCSMajor, Can you give an example of such a folder? [00:44] Centaur5-> nc -l -p 80 0backpipe <-- retype this as root again on that gateway [00:44] helluvaCSMajor: are they called stuff like \013\220\111\065..... ? [00:44] they are empty, if i copy and paste the name it is a bunch of spaces and question marks because it cannot display the name [00:44] Centaur5-> thats port 80 and 0 == zero [00:44] bulmer: Okay that still gave a connection refused [00:44] helluvaCSMajor: do a ls -l of your home folder and pastebin the result [00:44] !paste | helluvaCSMajor [00:44] helluvaCSMajor: 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) [00:45] bulmer: localhost [127.0.0.1] 81 (?) : Connection refused [00:45] Can anyone hep me? im sure its easy as hell === mishino_ is now known as mishino [00:45] helluvaCSMajor, Or do a "ls -l > ls.txt" and attatch that [00:45] Hyuukai, whats the question? [00:45] Hyuukai: check the man page for smbclient or smbmount.. it's explained pretty good in there [00:45] hi, i want to install doom on Gutsy.. i found on the internet that i can go to synaptic package manager and search for doom. When i do that it lists a lot of packages and i am not sure which to install. ... [00:45] Centaur5-> umm..its refusing to listen on port 81...let me think for a few [00:45] http://pastebin.com/d52dc23db [00:45] box answer ya pm :P [00:46] chetnick: nothing looks more Doomish than the rest? [00:46] first one, i left it as a sample, i deleted the others [00:46] helluvaCSMajor, And as a stab in the dark that probably won't work try: lsof | grep "" [00:47] helluvaCSMajor: hmm.. it looks the same in nautilus? [00:47] helluvaCSMajor, If you aren [00:47] i cannot enter the name of the folder [00:47] Slart: there are some files that i know that i need to install, but there are some libraries and some egnines that say that they are for doom in description .. .i am not sure about them. [00:47] in nautilus, the question marks are symbols, some are different though [00:47] lol pm dont show :/ [00:48] !pm | Box|UK Hyuukai [00:48] Box|UK Hyuukai: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [00:48] chetnick: just pick the main one.. synaptic will install all the extra stuff it needs.. that's what it does and that's what it's good at [00:48] gah [00:48] Slart: Than there is some lxdoom as well [00:48] helluvaCSMajor, If you aren't sure that it is being pasted correctly then take the output from ls redirected to a text file and take out all but the directory name then run "lsof | grep `cat foldername.txt`" [00:48] !register | Box|UK Hyuukai [00:48] Box|UK Hyuukai: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [00:48] chetnick, lxdoom is the game program, then you need game files, there's doom-wad-shareware, freedoom, and doom-package for extracting Doom 2 from the original CD [00:48] chetnick: isn't lxdoom a port of doom? google for it [00:48] how do I switch between vlc and totem plugins for firefox? [00:48] in gutsy, i did the command 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and it told me it could not find the package [00:48] Can someone tell me what a good mp3 player is to use? on windows i normally use winamp [00:48] chetnick, the game is free but the game data is not [00:48] helluvaCSMajor, Or if you don't mind us seeing all of the files your user has open just pastebin the output of "lsof" [00:48] i do not understand, i am a new linux user [00:49] Hyuukai: try audacious.. it's winamp-like [00:49] for future problems with cameras and getting images from them with xubuntu 7.10 just install digikam and it works [00:49] !info audacious [00:49] audacious: Small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.2-4 (gutsy), package size 976 kB, installed size 2956 kB [00:49] XMMS is a lot like winamp aswell [00:49] Hyuukai, i use banshee for some reason [00:49] Cool ok thankyou i dont mind learning a new one if there is a better one out there [00:49] ah.. yes of course.. mustn't forget XMMS [00:49] XMMS accepts winamp skins right? [00:50] Hyuukai: I recommend Amarok [00:50] i did that command and a lot of stuff came up, too much to copy and paste [00:50] after closing live cd scandisk turned on [00:50] ctothej: yea, the non modern skins. [00:50] I dont supose there is one that is somehow suited to playing shared mp3s over a network? [00:50] and now in windows my virus scanner is currupted [00:50] Hyuukai: if you mount the share it won't be an issue. [00:50] for any player [00:50] helluvaCSMajor: I don't think this has got anything to do with you mounting your ntfs drive... I think this is something else.. === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [00:51] Neodudeman: from what I understand the installer has not been updated for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [00:51] Hyuukai, banshee has pod casts and radio but when im listening to the BBC i use realplayer [00:51] Sorry im quite a noob really i dont quite understand what you mean by mount the share, i mount iso's :P [00:51] what else can i check? [00:51] helluvaCSMajor, Sorry, the easiest thing to do if you don't know much ( and again don't mind us seeing all of the files and network connections your user currently has open ) is to just pastebin the output of "lsof", it will be long, you can save the output to a text file on your Desktop by running "lsof > ~/Desktop/lsof.txt" [00:51] helluvaCSMajor: unless... how did you mount your ntfs-drive? manually? what command did you use? [00:51] Hyuukai: Rythmbox (Gnome+Ubuntu default) and banshee both support itunes sharing (They can't read itunes > 7 shares, but then again nothing but itunes can) [00:51] ty jack [00:51] np [00:51] i dont use itunes its ok :) i just have files and filesof mp3d [00:51] Centaur5-> i cant see any thing that should block your client from getting to those sites..and I find it odd that you cant run netcat on localhost port 81 [00:51] mp3s* [00:51] downloading virus scanner again :( [00:51] i followed a tutorial and it did not work [00:52] Hyuukai: you can mount shares that are via a Lan or similar, so it acts like an internal HD, much like you can do with Windows [00:52] box|uk is the podcast an raido any good on it? [00:52] Live CD uses HDD it seems ;) [00:52] helluvaCSMajor, It should "just work" in the newest version of Ubuntu [00:52] Ah right i have never tried that i use samba right now to access them is that the same thing? [00:52] helluvaCSMajor: ok.. just thinking .. what would happen if you accidently mounted a ntfs-drive with your home-folder as mountpoint.. [00:52] Hyuukai, yea the podcasts and radio aint at all bad on banshee [00:52] i have 7.04 and i later discovered it shows up in the computer folder under places menu [00:52] bulmer: So in other words I'm pretty well screwed over? :/ [00:52] helluvaCSMajor, Are you using Ubuntu 7.10 ( codenamed Gutsy Gibbon ) ? [00:53] feisty [00:53] How does raido work then i have never listened to a raido station online? :S [00:53] I guess im missing out [00:53] Centaur5-> not yet, i may just be missing something at the moment... [00:53] helluvaCSMajor, What guide did you follow? [00:53] Hyuukai: yep, I'm using samba aswell, it's fairly easy to mount a samba share, instructions are all over google :) [00:53] i don't remember [00:53] Hyuukai: (as a side note, when I sad they support itunes sharing that also means you can run ryhtmbox or banshee on two computesr and they can play each other's music) [00:53] helluvaCSMajor: could you pastebin the output from ps -A for us? [00:53] long time ago, i had this problem for about a year [00:53] well i browse to virgin radio and click listen now [00:53] sure [00:53] helluvaCSMajor: just to see if something is running amok in the background.. [00:53] Ok thankyou, i barely even know what samba is tbh i just got told i can view my networked files :) [00:53] oh great now I cant install virus scanner??? [00:54] Centaur5-> lets step back again...can you paste your new firewall rule? [00:54] Im very very new and looking to get great new things on ubuntu like i am wanting to try get a new menu somehow the default one seems a little boring, wanna try get the apple one down the bottom as well [00:54] Hyuukai: gsambad is a great and simple way to configure samba, you can get it from synaptic [00:54] helluvaCSMajor, Just so you know, ps -A will tell us all processes you have currently running [00:54] helluvaCSMajor: do these folders show up when you do something special? or just randomly every now and then? [00:54] Ok thankyou very much :) can i do mounts in that or is this somthing different? [00:54] bulmer: You mean the script with those lines commented out? [00:55] i have firestarter to launch on start up but the icon doesnt show in top panel unless i open it and shut it is it still running? [00:55] Centaur5-> yes please [00:55] Hyuukai: that's to just get it working, I'm not sure if there's a program to easily mount shares [00:55] I'm getting multiple instances of nm-applet at startup [00:55] the folders show up every day, i don't know exactly [00:55] http://pastebin.com/d2ff24f4a [00:55] Box|UK, you don't need firestarter running, it just configures the built-in firewall [00:55] I try to add more spaces to my workspace, and no matter what number I choose no more spaces appear. [00:55] WEll it seems i can already access my windows networked files so i dont really need that? [00:56] !firewall [00:56] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:56] morning all :D [00:56] astro so it configures the inbuilt firewall which runs in the back ground? [00:56] Also samba doesnt broadcast any of it over the net does it? its smb2www that does that? [00:56] Box|UK, it's part of the kernel [00:56] thxs astro [00:56] helluvaCSMajor, Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if it happens with that user's home folder as well? [00:56] no [00:57] bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47896/ [00:57] should i do that? or is there something else to check while i am on here? [00:57] bye [00:57] Hyuukai: if you're not having to enter a password to view your files anyone can see them that's connected to the LAN (unencrypted wifi here would be bad.) As far as people on the net seeing them, I'm not sure. [00:57] hello all, why my pidgin only shows my friends upto "P" alphabet? [00:57] helluvaCSMajor, That might be good to test, you can be logged in as both users at the same time with "fast user switching" in Gutsy and just leave the other user doing nothing but having Gnome loaded [00:58] I dont mind people on the lan i just dont want to be broadcastin them to the web thats all [00:58] bulmer: Doesn't it seem kind of odd that it's only apple's and microsoft's websites that don't allow normal masquerading? :) [00:58] i am using feisty [00:58] Ari are you Iceland man? [00:58] helluvaCSMajor: well.. nothing strange in there.. one instance of "sh" is running..but that might just be something running a script or something [00:58] Can anyone tell me a good tool to search for files and folders [00:58] helluvaCSMajor, Sorry, forgot [00:58] Centaur5-> yeah very odd [00:58] ari_stress: try Buddies >Sort Buddies > By Status [00:58] FluxD: updatedb and locate :) in the terminal [00:58] bulmer: What are their websites doing that other don't.... :) [00:59] FluxD: should just be able to do "locate " and find files [00:59] FluxD, locate / updatedb if you don't need to search within text files [00:59] MillitantPotato: is there any way i can make sure they are just local and not going over the internet? [00:59] kelsin: it can find stuff from the whole computer? [00:59] in case it matters, i installed Beryl [00:59] Hyuukai: are you behind a router [00:59] Hyuukai: I'm not sure. [00:59] FluxD: just searching filenames and dir names, yes [00:59] FluxD, "sudo updatedb" to have it look for new files [00:59] FluxD: I have something called "Search for files" gnome search tool might be the name [00:59] I am on a switch which is then connected to a router [00:59] Slart: yea I think its same [01:00] ty Jordan_U Slart kelsin [01:00] Hyuukai: unless you're router forwards the samba ports to a computer there is no way for outside people to get to them (without ssh forwarding) [01:00] Slart, FluxD The default gnome search tool does not use locate [01:00] helluvaCSMajor: I don't think beryl would do that... never had it creating folders all over the place.. [01:00] And i woul have to mannually set that up in order for that to have happened right? [01:00] Hyuukai: yes [01:00] helluvaCSMajor: were the folders empty? no files in there? [01:00] Slart, FluxD Pre Gutsy it is incredibly slow since there is no indexing, and in Gutsy it uses tracker [01:00] Ok thankyou :) [01:00] Centaur5-> i looked at your rules again and just nothing glaring...i dont see why your client will not get to those sites [01:01] hmmm i am on pigeon and my text is shakin when i type [01:01] Jordan_U: tracker is an indeer? [01:01] correct [01:01] Jordan_U: tracker is an indexer? [01:01] is that some strang effect i have on compiz fusion? :S [01:01] Hyuukai: its pidgin :p [01:01] * Slart had to shut indexing off.. it just ran wild.. used 100% cpu for several hours.. [01:01] bulmer: It's a very basic script that we found online....it doesn't make any sense. === yns is now known as PiJaMaLi_NiNja [01:01] Oh does i do that automaticall? [01:01] Slart: same here [01:01] just googled a bit for linux msn messenger and came up with kmess now not sure if Kmess or Amsn is the way to go [01:01] Slart, FluxD The default gnome search tool does not use locate [01:01] Slart, FluxD Pre Gutsy it is incredibly slow since there is no indexing, and in Gutsy it uses tracker [01:01] * nickrud_ really liked beagle, with user_xattr [01:01] I knew what i meant! :P [01:02] Box|UK, use pidgin [01:02] SO yeah is it an effect i have on to do with compiz fusion [01:02] bulmer: It was working fine with firestarter but it didn't work with ipkungfu and this custom script. [01:02] pidgin ftw [01:02] nickrud_, Why the past tense? [01:02] Jordan_U: updatedb refreshes file name and folders? [01:02] ok ill try pidgin [01:02] FluxD, Yes [01:02] Pidgin im on now Box :) its good [01:02] Jordan_U, because I haven't got around to setting it up on my new install. Giving tracker a chance [01:02] im not sure ho to use perform on irc on it though :( dunno i i can [01:02] FluxD, And IIRC it is never run unless you run it explicitly [01:03] FluxD: yes, it's run daily by default (the slocate file in /etc/cron.daily) [01:03] Box|UK, installed by default ;) [01:03] can anyone tell me why my text is shaking when i type it in pidgin? [01:03] FluxD, I guess I don't RC ;) [01:03] laaynn bana yardýmcý olacak var mý? [01:03] Jordan_U, kelsin updatedb: fatal error: You are not authorized to create a default slocate database! [01:03] helluvaCSMajor: I would go with Jordan_U's suggestion.. create another user and see if the same thing happens to that users home folder.. second choice would be to run lsof and try to catch whatever is doing this "in the act" so to say.. [01:03] Box|UK : I use pidgin, its nice [01:03] FluxD: "sudo updatedb" [01:03] FluxD, "sudo updatedb" [01:03] Centaur5-> also add these on your rules. iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT; iptables -A INPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT; [01:03] oops [01:04] ok, ill do it later, thanks for the help [01:04] FluxD: you can use it to create you're own databases if you want, but with no arguments it tries to update the system database, hence you need sudo [01:04] K thxs for the heads up on pidgin im new lol so new it was a n00b question [01:04] kelsin: sudo locate after that? [01:04] Centaur5-> that enables your local loopback..and lets try running that long netcat command again [01:04] are there any free pc-to-phone services for linux? [01:04] FluxD: you can locate without sudo [01:04] FluxD, No, just "locate" [01:04] man, wtf, I usually get like 180Kbs downstream, I'm capping at like 39... [01:04] emily_, you can text any phone with pidgin [01:05] soldats: I was thinking more along the lines of voip [01:05] Jordan_U, kelsin how about searching for files with lets say certain extension like mp3 [01:05] emily_, Wengophone is pretty cheap [01:05] emily_, And is Free Software [01:05] Centaur5-> thats essential to have local loop lo to be active in your firewall [01:05] how do you text phones with pidgin? [01:05] emily_, http://www.gizmoproject.com/learnmore-allcallsfree.html [01:05] Hey [01:05] FluxD: "locate | grep mp3" [01:05] FluxD, locate .mp3 [01:05] emily_, ahh im not sure about that i just use text [01:05] FluxD: hence the power of using the command line [01:05] kelsin: nice :) [01:05] hi! how can i make ubuntu change my eth1's ethernet address by default? i mean at startup. i can change it manually but i need to do it auto. [01:05] i didnt know u could text phones [01:05] Centaur5-> btw, its el oh, not el zero [01:05] Jordan_U: haha i'm cheap.. anything free? I know windows had "adcalls" [01:06] so i downloaded the flashplayer9 for linux tar.gz file, and i tar xvfz'd it, and i sudo ./flashplayer-installer; but when i input /usr/lib/mozilla as the installation path for mozilla, it gives me a warning, and asks for a valid install path [01:06] bulmer: that caused an error trying to run the script saying can't use -o with input [01:06] ok n00b question in pdgin i have an msn messenger account but i registered it with a gmail addy instead of hotmail but it wont omit the hotmail addy [01:06] prakriti, go to add buddy and do "+1 [01:06] jhey [01:06] Neodudeman: use /usr/lib/firefox [01:06] Neodudeman: man interfaces === bj_ is now known as bjbum [01:06] prakriti, fo the united atates [01:06] soldats : so what service? [01:06] FluxD, locate supports regular expressions, so if you learn to use regular expressions you can search by any criterion you could imagine :) [01:06] emily_: without a company running it (for money) I don't know of one. [01:06] Box|UK, what do you mean omit the hotmail address? [01:06] Whoops. [01:06] astro76: that looks promising, but it's only 20 free minutes, right? [01:06] Centaur5-> umm instead of -o try -output [01:07] Neodudeman: you can always copy the files to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins later from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [01:07] @ctothej: doh. thanks [01:07] Jordan_U: oh ok thx [01:07] prakriti, nono the + means add number and the "1" is the country code the you insert the arecode and number [01:07] Hi, I just installed ubuntu on a friend's sony vaio, and under gnome, the volume control works flawlessly, but under KDE if I try to put it up, it goes to 11% and down goes to 0, any ideas on how to get this to work? [01:07] emily_, not sure, I think you can keep it renewed, but it is a promotional thing [01:07] FluxD: find does the searching slowly, but allows you to search by almost ANYTHING relating to files (by owners / permissions / mod or create time / etc) [01:07] never mind did crtl +A and pigdin added @hotmail to the end ivee just deleted that part of it [01:07] FluxD: and grep is a very nice thing to know.. it's just so darn useful in all kinds of situations [01:07] ctothej: the /usr/lib/firefox did the trick. thanks [01:07] soldats : right, but on my account selection, what account do you select when you add a phone number? [01:07] FluxD: I mean find the command [01:07] FluxD, Including something as complicated as "search for file names that contain in them text which could be a valid email address" or any other stupid idea ;) [01:07] astro76: so you have to sign up for a new account every time you want to use another 20 minutes lol [01:07] zitsep: man interfaces or network under the administration menu in Gnome. [01:08] does anyone know if the radeonhd driver will be in the next release or not since it's still in the early stages of development? [01:08] prakriti, whatever account you normally use thats accociated with "aim" [01:08] kelsin, Jordan_U: I have a file called "Angel City - Do You .mp3" I did "locate angel city | grep mp3" and it didnt find it [01:08] ok [01:08] Slart: yup I am strting to use it a lot [01:08] How can I change the default plugin handler for firefox for certain media types? for example, change wmv from totem plugin to vlc? [01:08] soldats: so its aim thats sending them to phones? [01:08] FluxD, By default locate is case sensitive [01:08] prakriti, YES [01:08] tyvm [01:08] why doesn't my external hard drive auto mount on boot up with Gutsy? [01:08] emily_, there's a link at the bottom of the page, Active User Requirements [01:08] FluxD: FluxD "locate -i angel city" [01:08] hello all [01:08] oops i didnt mean caps [01:08] kelsin, Jordan_U thx [01:08] How do I get my external hard drive and my usb stick to automount on boot up [01:08] bjbum: HI [01:09] FluxD: "man locate" for more options [01:09] !hello | bjbum [01:09] bjbum: Hi!

[01:09] anyone [01:09] good morning, is there anyone, who can help me with my ati graphic card? [01:09] How do I find out what package installed a given file? [01:10] bought my first laptop the other day. been a long time mac user and this is my first attempted foray into linux [01:10] alright hey thanks everyone! [01:10] Alyxander, I would assume there is but that it's going to require reading man pages :( [01:10] olskolirc: hmmm.. mine does that automagically.. I wouldn't know how to make it *not* mount on boot.. [01:10] Centaur5-> you have some weird setup.. lo should be your loopback..and its not liking it? [01:10] Bjb what do you think of ubuntu? [01:10] !ati | maslenka [01:10] maslenka: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:10] I want it to mount on boot Slart but it won't [01:10] hello people [01:10] hello [01:11] bjbum, what do you think of ubuntu compared to mac? [01:11] bjbum: hurray! [01:11] Box|UK: I think i'd probably like it a lot more if I could get it installed hehe. I'm having problems with the amd64 ubuntu live cd >.< [01:11] Big problems with NTFS drives... I can read from one... but the computer when I read from the other one [01:11] olskolirc: if you connect the drive when you're logged in it shows up in nautlus, right? [01:11] I have installed empathy using the package handler, however I don't see any way to execute it. Anyone else use empathy instant messaging client? [01:11] well, i have installed driver. but it does not work the way i like [01:11] Slart, I don't know what a nautlus is [01:11] TheZealot: tried running "empathy" from the command line? [01:11] anyone? [01:11] TheZealot, try to type it in a terminal [01:11] bjbum, did you burn it as iso? [01:11] I have a toshiba satelite with the ATI 200m integrated video card. I understand that Gutsy 7.10 uses Compiz Fusion, which other distros have refused to initialize with my vid card. Should I have any worries about upgrading from Feisty? [01:11] Alyxander, try "man xterm", the same options should work with gnome-terminal [01:12] Slart: yes [01:12] olskolirc: natilus is the default file handler in gnome.. like explorer in windows.. [01:12] Slart, I have to sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/somedisk [01:12] use the alternative cd whoever had problems with the live cd with amd64 i had problems too [01:12] I did, yeah. I can boot from it and the ubuntu menu shows up and everything [01:12] i have notebook with build in lcd display with resolution 1024x768 and external lcd with res 1680x1050 [01:12] Slart, I'm on kde [01:12] oh Hyuukai ? [01:12] Slart: is says debug: check for accounts... I tried to read the man page, but there isn't one [01:12] YEah i had major problems [01:12] pope22, no, there's a blacklist for cards which don't work well with it [01:12] and i can't find a way how to make 1680x1050 on that second display [01:12] Pherhaps someone here can guide me through installing kiba dock? [01:12] olskolirc: oh.. then I guess I should say.. konqueror? [01:12] when i tried to install it either from the first item or the one below it it loaded the kernel then it went blank? [01:13] yup Hyuukai [01:13] exactly that === rlkaufman_ is now known as knixxi [01:13] What graphic card do you have? [01:13] TheZealot, "man empathy" or "empathy --info/help" [01:13] mobile x600 [01:13] TheZealot: hmm.. then I don't know.. it just happens sometimes that a program doesn't create an icon to start it with.. [01:13] yes, Slart it's empty after boot up I have to mount my external drives [01:13] nvidia 8600M GT [01:13] Would anyone mind guiding me through installing kiba dock? [01:13] My laptop CPU is in "ondemand" mode at the moment, but I want it to be switched to "maximum/performance" mode. How do I do this? [01:13] ah yeah i have a 8 series it seems to be a problem with 8 series and amd i think :S [01:13] bjbum, can you load in safe mode? [01:13] bulmer: I don't know, I see lo just fine using ifconfig [01:13] I finally did it [01:14] I tried box, but I still get the blank screen [01:14] so i have another problem: whenever I try to add a new program in the add/remove program manager, it gives me a "The list of applications is not availabe[sic]" error, and makes me download 6 files, and doesn't let me install the program [01:14] yay [01:14] I completely converted to linux!

[01:14] olskolirc: I'm sorry.. I don't know how to fix that.. perhaps someone else knows.... normally stuff automount afaik [01:14] basically what i had to do was get the laternative cd, then when i installed it, it wouldnt boot into the gui so i had to boot in recovery then change the ifconfig file so my graphics driver was using vesa [01:14] aww come on... [01:14] im an XP whore i still cant bring myself to break away [01:14] * bruenig refuses to come on [01:14] then i used envy to get the latest graphics driver [01:14] well...I am still dual booting [01:14] ok Slart thanks [01:14] !envy | Hyuukai [01:14] Hyuukai: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:14] Ok...I can't fake any real questions... [01:14] I downloaded automount and I still have to mount it myself [01:14] so I guess I am off to off-topic [01:15] I'll wait for the next release Slart thanks [01:15] ekim|linux, good luck ;) [01:15] I liked the old Envy message. [01:15] olskolirc: good luck [01:15] Centaur5-> you can type those two lines separately..dont need to be in one single line [01:15] hi [01:15] Does that help you at all? [01:15] is there actually some good action games made for linux? [01:15] bulmer: The first line worked fine it's the 2nd line that gives the bad argument lo error. [01:15] I think I might give that a shot Hyuukai [01:15] chetnick action as in fps? [01:16] chetnick: yep, check google [01:16] if you need help i can give abit, try alternative cd first you might have better luck than me [01:16] !games | chetnick [01:16] chetnick: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [01:16] I need the help of a linux expert.

Reconfiguring xorg.conf (either directly or by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) did not work [01:16] macchanger :) [01:16] chetnick, use synaptic and search for games [01:16] thank you all! bye [01:16] bjbum, while youve got tinternet google your card linux probs [01:16] but if its the same as me you have to install from the alternative cd then boot in recovery and change the driver to vesa that your 8600 uses then use envy to instal the newest driver [01:17] chetnick, try nexiuz [01:17] Centaur5-> my fault, i meant for the 2nd one to be OUTPUT, i copied/pasted wrong..

[01:25] Hyuukai: do you know if it's just the fact that the alternate installer cd has a text installer that it works? or does it install differently? the livecd I have of gutsy right now actually gives the option to use the text installer, but I've not tried it just yet [01:25] simplechat: I can't access windowsupdate.microsoft.com, apple.com, hotmail.com ever since I started using an iptables script. [01:25] anyone know how to make chatzilla open in a firefox tabs? [01:25] How do I indicate a space in a path in fstab [01:25] *tab [01:25] Centaur5: really? wow, thats odd to observe a checksum error on a link [01:25] the text installer works yes but it didntwork for me on the live cd [01:25] Centaur5, are you using moblock or peerguardian? [01:25] I see [01:26] the alternative cd worked for me where as text installer on the normal one didnt but you can try the text installer [01:26] Hubris2: try auto,nouser,rw,exec,sync 0 0 [01:26] Centaur5: i have to take off for now..hopefully someone can pick up.. [01:26] I tried to play an mp3 on bashee it said i needed a codec so i went to get tht and then it failed now when i run bashee it keps trying to play the mp3 and failing not opening banshee properly? [01:26] if it didn't work for you i''m probably going to have the same problem. i'll just check it real quick [01:26] Hubris2, what's the two for on the end? Does the windows partition mount up auto? [01:26] MilitantPotato: Doesn't it default to auto if not stated? [01:26] simplechat: no. I was using firestarter up until Sunday and everything worked. Ever since I switched to ipkungfu and now this custom script I can't go to those sites. [01:26] Hubris2: I thought it was noauto, but you're probably right [01:26] bulmer2: Thanks very much for your help. You gave me a lot of your time and I appreciate it! [01:27] craigbass1976: It has a 2, because reading the man page, any filesystem other than root should be 2 [01:27] Yes - /dev/sda1 does automatically mount successfully [01:27] Hubris2, lemme look at my fstab... I have home on a different partition [01:27] Whats up guys ive got a question. Lately when i boot my computer it says it needs to do system maintenance and it asks for my root password. I do that but for some reason it isnt mounting my hard drive that is mounted at /home do you think this is a result of a failing hard drive or just something got messed up? [01:27] for banshe to run mp3s i need gstreamer? [01:27] ok, I've managed to confirm that I have sshd running and I can ssh into my file server. However I get connection refused when i try to ssh into my own pc from my network. Where do I look to find out why its not accepting remote ssh connections? [01:27] Box|uk ? [01:28] orionx: what's the output of sudo mount -a say? [01:28] Or anyone that can confirm it for me [01:28] MilitantPotato: it doesnt return anything.

[01:29] does anyone else here have problems playing youtube videos with gnash? [01:29] make bzImage should work on a clean install ? [01:29] bjbum it failed when it started loading kernel it did the same and went blank [01:29] silent_: probably a lot gnash doesn't really handle flash very well still [01:29] Smegzor, /etc/init.d/ssh restart and see what happens. Also, did you apt-get install open-ssh? [01:30] Box|uk: yo there? [01:30] no just apt-get install ssh [01:30] Hubris2, I didn't see too much different, but mine is a bit different than yours [01:30] Hyuukai, wassup was googling [01:30] craigbass1976: Yours only has the UUID entries, it only has a /dev entry for the cdrom. [01:30] i think I have open-ssh installed as well [01:30] Smegzor, try the open-ssh [01:30] ah cool banshe when trying to play a file like mp3 you have to instal a plugin/condec? [01:30] gstreamer? [01:30] Smegzor: ssh is installed by default you need openssh-server [01:30] And try starting/restarting it to see what happens [01:30] !mp3 | Hyuukai [01:30] Hyuukai: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:31] i installed a update and when i rebooted i window themes and awn dock is covered by a white bar,what have i done wrong? [01:31] hi [01:31] MilitantPotato: when i bot my computer it says that /dev/hdb1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. It does this every time but it doesnt seem to fix anything. [01:31] MilitantPotato, apt-get instal pidgin? [01:31] orionx: what file system is it? [01:31] hmm [01:31] ext3 [01:31] i just installed gutsy-64bit and flash doesn't work ... is there a known fix/ [01:31] craigbass1976: you need to purge GAIM first [01:31] pidgin is in apps /internet [01:31] did you have to box|uk? [01:31] MilitantPotato, what do you mean? [01:32] remove? [01:32] kitche: ok I have installed it. Is there any setup to do? How do I start it? [01:32] craigbass1976: purge [01:32] opps yes sorry i had to download gstream for banshee to work [01:32] thegattaca: : from what I understand the installer has not been updated for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [01:32] MilitantPotato, and special repo? I'm using feisty [01:32] craigbass1976: apt-get --help [01:32] phat [01:32] forgot that one [01:32] craigbass1976: ah, not sure if it's in feisty. [01:32] MilitantPotato: its the default one i believe thats ext3. I have my home partition mounted to a different hard drive [01:32] okay :) [01:32] Started getting used to CentOS again [01:32] craigbass1976: I have a .deb with all the dependencies I made, but I wouldn't recommend trusting .deb files from strangers. [01:33] grrr damn you banshee! my banshee when i load it just freezes [01:33] Hyuukai: launch it from terminal [01:33] ;p; [01:33] lol [01:33] i wanna RPm my system i like auto install [01:33] MilitantPotato i do :) [01:33] i would if i wasnt such a noob [01:33] Hyuukai: It's called terminal in the applications menu :) [01:34] i <3 terminal [01:34] I know what terminal is i just cant write command line or bash or w/e :P [01:34] Hyuukai, apps/accessories/terminal [01:34] I hated it, but it's growing on me. [01:34] Anyone know how apt decides that a package has a candidate available? apt does not see some packages like "dpkg" as having an installation candidate, I have pretty thoroughly ruled out dependency / sources.list problems [01:34] Hyuukai: type in banshee [01:35] you only have to type the name of the app? [01:35] Hyuukai: if it's installed correctly yes [01:35] COol [01:35] Hyuukai, type sudo apt-get update banshee [01:35] craigbass1976: I notice that line 10, /media/sda2 isn't mounting either. That volume isn't mounting automatically via either line [01:35] Hyuukai: some need root permission though, so sudo or gksudo if it's a graphical program. [01:35] hi [01:35] I see [01:35] if banshee needed root, you'd use gksudo (it doesn't though.) [01:35] Hello I'm in need of help, my mouse doesn't work in Ubuntu 7.10 when I update it pulls up "Can't Grab Mouse" [01:36] Box|uk did you have to instal codec/plugins when using banshee?

[01:37] its just a .mp3 and .wma [01:37] MilitantPotato: does that mean hardware failure? [01:37] Alyxander, its in the top panel [01:37] i installed a update and when i rebooted i emerald themes doesnt work and awn dock is covered by a white bar,what have i done wrong? [01:37] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, copied the .so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and set root as group/owner ... restarted firefox, no luck.... did i do that right? [01:37] Box|UK, nope [01:37] will someone please guide me step by step on installing kiba dock? [01:38] orionx: Might be. Or your fstab is set to EXT2 instead of EXT3 or vise versa [01:38] I'm either looking for some very general or very specific advice here. I want to install xmonad on Gutsy. I believe it's available via apt somehow. So can anyone tell me either (general) how one goes about finding what sources to add to sources.list for a new experimental package or (specific) how to do so for xmonad? [01:38] how can I do "ls" but have it pause when it reaches the end of the first screen, and wait for me to press Enter before it continues listing? [01:38] Box|uk have you managed to get yours doin mp3s? [01:38] ls|less [01:38] !info xmonad [01:38] Package xmonad does not exist in gutsy [01:38] MilitantPotato: it was working before though. [01:38] thanks [01:38] i cant see activex controls on websites. i am trying to play with my daughter on barbie.com [01:38] MilitantPotato, Sorry, for asking you directly but I am getting a little desperate with this problem and hope you are knowledgeable about how apt decides that a package has a candidate available. My problem is that apt does not see some packages like "dpkg" as having an installation candidate, I have pretty thoroughly ruled out dependency / sources.list problems and don't know what is left that could be causing problems [01:38] If someone will and can help me PM ME because I cant make my mouse work in Ubuntu Gutsy, it says CANT GRAB MOUSE [01:39] MilitantPotato, I think it's Hardy only. Does that mean I'm out of luck? [01:39] Rafabe: ls | less [01:39] Hyuukai, yep and all mp3s listed by name artist and length [01:39] orionx: ah, I'd google how to repair bad blocks then, or run a disk surface check [01:39] i am also getting this message.

[01:40] If someone will and can help me PM ME because I cant make my mouse work in Ubuntu Gutsy, it says CANT GRAB MOUSE [01:40] MilitantPotato, No, it's packages like "dpkg", packages that I KNOW are in the repositories and I can grab and update other packages in main [01:40] pbx: you could attempt to add the hardy repos, not sure if it will install right. [01:41] gstream worked for me [01:42] Okay, Jack is gone .... does Anyone know how to make flash work on gutsy 64bit?

[01:43] MilitantPotato, "Package dpkg is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[01:45] Alex777: er that sounds _very_ odd, what happens when you just plug one in? [01:45] I havent tried it [01:45] Jordan_U: try sudo apt-get upgrade dpkg [01:45] I'm in Windows right now [01:46] MilitantPotato, No non-standard repos, no dependency problems [01:46] MilitantPotato, dpkg is perfectly happy as is smart when I use it [01:46] !easysource [01:46] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [01:46] Alex777: there is no way _any_ device shoul required both usb _and_ ps/2 plugged in at the same time === akitofhawii is now known as kitofhawaii [01:46] Alex777: I meant for you to try it on windows [01:46] Jordan_U: that'd make sure your repos are ok.

[01:48] thank you [01:48] bye bye [01:48] Alex777: is this a problem with the boot cd or an installed version? [01:48] oh installed [01:48] and boot [01:48] MilitantPotato, I don't think that apt-get upgrade takes any package name as an argument, do you have a reason to believe that it does? [01:48] how can i ask to get some guide for my ubuntu?

[02:08] Can I do the Login as root? [02:08] ntadmin, that's all I personnaly have, you can look for more info in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org or ask again periodicaly, make it one line preferably [02:08] !sudo [02:08] pelo make bzImage gets an error.. i dont know if it was somthing i did wrong, so I was going to try it from a fresh install and see if I get the same error [02:08] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [02:08] !root | ntadmin [02:08] Like, try to set it so Control-Shift-W launches a Terminal.

[02:09] Fawkesfyre, I don't know what that command (make bzimage) is suppose to do [02:09] but [02:09] i *think* [02:09] that the root password [02:09] Alan, apt-get update [02:09] defaults to the one [02:09] !root | DeiviD [02:09] DeiviD: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:09] Pelo, Ubuntu server have a Interface? [02:09] you put for your main account [02:09] !bzImage [02:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about bzimage - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:09] oh no [02:09] lol [02:10] Alan, and apt-get install w32codecs [02:10] that was deep ubotu [02:10] after reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-231653.html i discovered there was no obvious way to download the script. is it gone forever?

I've found other people with this problem, but they generally have blank keys files, and I don't. [02:15] Fawkesfyre: x is where you see your modem [02:15] Pelo: it didnt ever have a splash screen (apparently with wide screen notebooks that is a known problem) but before it would like within 5mins [02:15] oh wait [02:16] question: while right clicking a video file and "play with mplayer" I get the following "failed to open file:/// [path] with a bunch of numbers" now when I use my terminal, and type [user$] mplayer [specifications] [path] it works just fine.. any ideas?

[02:41] MirrorImage, ok first of all , if you can it is much better to 1st check in synaptic for that app and install from there if it is available, 2 get a deb file from the website where you got the app, much easier to install then compiling the source, if you don'T have either , we can tell you how to compile the source manualy [02:41] localgod12, menu >system > admin> network [02:41] kae_: In that case, check out #ubuntu-bots [02:41] that no worky so well [02:42] localgod12: look in /etc/network [02:42] it never loads the window comes up but does load [02:42] Can anyone tell me why my text is shaking when i type on pignin is it somthing to do with a desktop effect i have? :S [02:42] Kuropon_, sorry about that man but if you can'T access a file on your own desktop to begin with there is something seriously wrong with your setup and nothing I do can actualy make it worse [02:42] yah i got the file i just dont know whow to set it up can some provide me with an example [02:42] mssever, thank you! :] [02:42] but what do i do there?

( http://www.sensi.org/~ak/pyslsk/ ) [02:43] localgod12: And the file in question is /etc/network/interfaces [02:43] MirrorImage, let me have a look [02:44] Ok [02:44] MirrorImage, there is already a soulseek client in repos [02:44] In where? [02:44] do a search for soulseek [02:44] Im guessing nobody is gonna bother trying to help? :( [02:44] Oh. Wow. Synaptic has a lot more than I thought. [02:45] Hyuukai: I have no idea what you're asking about [02:45] I should look there more often.

[02:47] add/remove is confusing certainly [02:47] ok, I will try [02:47] thnx [02:47] MirrorImage, welcome to the wonderfull world of "you are not using that damn windows anymore" [02:47] im asking when i ype on pigin only my text shakes around is at an effect on compiz fusion [02:47] 2 package managers is baffling to new users [02:47] Hyuukai: You mean Pidgin? [02:47] Hyuukai: interesting, I dont have compiz turned on [02:47] It's not baffling to me. Things in the terminal, that's baffling to me. [02:48] bruenig, when doing aps I usualy recomment add/remove to newbies, less confusing then all thestuff in synaptic [02:48] Hyuukai: I use XChat, rather than Pidgin [02:48] well if you count terminal, now you have 4 package managers [02:48] yes mssever [02:48] MirrorImage, the terminal is your freind, learn the terminal , love the terminal, make love to the terminal , then make install love from the terminal [02:48] * Pelo should probably go to bed now [02:48] archibald: I have no idea what you're trying to say [02:48] I refuse! [02:49] I would recommend apt-*, it is the best way to start learning the terminal and makes sense and doesn't create gui-dependency [02:49] pidgin yes [02:49] Wait, people use pidgin for IRC? [02:49] Hi. What is the current solution that enables one to use an ATI card and AIGLX? [02:49] Yes i am right now [02:49] Well, stop. [02:49] why [02:49] lol [02:49] MirrorImage: you can, but pidgin isn't a very good IRC client. [02:49] Exactly. [02:49] it was only to come on here [02:49] g'night folks [02:50] I'm using pidgin for IRC, I liked it better than xchat :p [02:50] Great IM program, but not a very good IRC program.

Gimp is a bit overkill for just resizing pics, but it will do the job nicely [02:56] biouser: when saving the image you can addjust the quality and see a preview of how large it will be and how crappy it will look [02:56] What other internet browsers are included in Ubuntu?

[02:59] can we talk about samba in here or is there another room? [03:00] !samb [03:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about samb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:00] !samba [03:00] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [03:00] that is not working [03:00] nt_admin: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will restart networking.

[03:01] underdawg: Go to System > Preferences > About Me (or something like that) [03:01] biouser: you could get a 1000000x100000 image in 140kb if you make it extra crappy [03:01] How do I make an image out of a cd to install it in a virtual machine? [03:01] I'm trying to install vista [03:01] there is another room for that [03:01] cool [03:01] biouser, i belive that due to the compression, the number of pixels will variate depending on the compression/picture/etc [03:01] how come, when i click on my other PC in "Windows Network".. it requires a password to view the files.. yet i have no clue what the password is? [03:01] tofaffy: cp /dev/cdrom /path/to/image === Synx_ubuntu is now known as Synx_hm [03:01] is there a linux command that functions as readline for a txt file? [03:01] clever, does that actually make an image? [03:02] i.e if I want to read the first line, then the next line from file X can I do that from a sh script or bash? [03:02] tofaffy: it will make a plain iso image of the raw cd [03:02] Hi. From the command line I can create a simple password protected archive using 'zip' with -e option. There dosnt seem to be corresponding option for tar (i.e. gzip or bzip2). Is it possible> [03:02] tofaffy, probly wont make a picture worth looking at [03:02] hehe soldats [03:02] I wanna try it at least. [03:02] GIMP22: cat file | while read line; do something; done [03:02] tofaffy: most vm programs can probly take the cdrom directly for a cd drive [03:02] ah cool thanks imserver [03:03] psykidellic, I kind of doubt gzip will have it seeing that RMS hates passwords [03:03] GIMP actually ask you for how much quality and tels you the size when saving as jpeg [03:03] so I got just what I wanted [03:03] thanks everyone [03:03] bruenig, hehe. [03:03] GIMP22: A more elegant solution is to use file descriptors, but I couldn't tell you how to do that off the top of my head [03:03] I could use zip but gzip seems to compress better :) [03:03] bzip2 maybe [03:03] yeah I thought open would return a fd but it doesn't look that way :-\ [03:04] psykidellic: gzip -1 thru gzip -9 will give you diff levels of compression [03:04] psykidellic: -9 is slowest but best gzip can do [03:04] i just removed some packages that i need is there any way to see which packages were removed the last? [03:04] I just want to avoid the mess of writing a c program to take the difference of two txt files [03:04] psykidellic: bzip2 is better for test but is alot slower [03:04] how come, when i click on my other PC in "Windows Network".. it requires a password to view the files.. yet i have no clue what the password is? [03:04] psykidellic: teXt* [03:04] GIMP22: File descriptor stuff looks like 3>&- (to close fd 3) I don't remember how to open a descriptor [03:04] Hi, [03:05] anyone have a link to learn about how to use terminal and cmd's what they do and how to go about doing things in linux [03:05] hello, so i just had some raid5 fun that resulted in a corrupted install.

[03:18] :D [03:18] thank rather [03:18] Joshooa: If you run with the "-windowed" flag you can play the game in windowed mode and still be able to use firefox/IMs [03:18] dub_: I don't want windowed mode though, I was fullscreen 1680x1050 [03:18] I use the Intel Integrated Graphics [03:18] kyleBAKED: yeah I did some searching around, lots of people with the same problem, no apparent solution as of yet [03:18] just put in a mount /media/xxxxx or whatever in my fstab? [03:18] Joshooa, Transcendence [03:19] how can i change the colors and names of the layout tabs? [03:19] need some very basic samba help i can see the samba pc but it asks for a password and the user pass for the machine doesnt work [03:19] Ttech: Does it use 3d graphics? [03:19] c0Ld: I want fullscreen though [03:19] Sorta, google it. There is a screenshot [03:19] jvboom: thats dissapointing, thank you anways though [03:19] vocx, apparently I fail at trying to get this thing to work [03:19] Ttech: Do you have an nVidia card or ATI? [03:19] Joshooa, Integrated Intel Graphics [03:19] !terminal > Kuropon_ [03:19] SplinteR: well, it probably needs more than that, look at man fstab [03:20] Hey [03:20] vocx, what about my terminal [03:20] How do I get flash working in firefox [03:20] I installed flashplugin-nonfree [03:20] ok, i just opened up my fstab to check it out, what is the bash command to view mounted drives and how they are mounted? [03:20] is it possible to change the framebuffer size of the console text? [03:20] and I click the prompt in firefox that says that I need certain plugins [03:20] alt-F1 etc [03:20] leachim6: Are you using 64-bit? [03:20] Kuropon_, you wanted some guide to use the terminal? [03:20] SplinteR, mount [03:20] but it says that the flash plugin is installed [03:20] no [03:20] SplinteR: just type mount [03:20] Ttech: Hmm, not sure about driver support on that one. can you choose to run it in OpenGL? [03:20] each time i send text to someone in pidgin it outputs that stuff to the terminal [03:20] well crap, thats easy enough. thanks a ton [03:20] vocx, yes [03:21] i recently tried to install shockwave [03:21] alienfreakboi: Does Pidgin crash? [03:21] you know what I am talking about [03:21] good night all! [03:21] i usually look this stuff up but i decided to be lazy and ask in irc. thanks guys! [03:21] yes, frequently [03:21] I have flash9 working fine on my laptop [03:21] No DX or whats it called? Ssytem grapics gen? [03:21] or something [03:21] Kuropon_, don't you have a query from ubotu? It supposedly provided you a link. [03:21] leachim6: Hmm.. Flash has always Just Worked for me [03:21] it crashed twice in about 1 minute [03:21] I know [03:21] me too [03:21] mount x01:/mnt/hdb /mnt/x01/hdb [03:21] whats wrong with this staemten? [03:21] vocx, query? >> [03:21] is the flash plugin still borked? [03:21] huh [03:22] leachim6, the flash plugin is broken at the moment, it needs to be fixed to match the new release from adobe [03:22] what command i can use to find files [03:22] in the terminal? [03:22] but it says It needs to install a plugin [03:22] by the name [03:22] but it just keeps telling me it's installed over and over [03:22] answeres my question [03:22] ...it works fine on my other computer [03:22] anyone knows of a free ftp service? need to store my data somewhere else [03:22] musyt go [03:22] alienfreakboi: There's a bug somewhere, but I don't have any clue what it is [03:22] DeiviD: use find [03:22] DeiviD: locate [03:22] mssever: ok [03:23] leachim6, the package downloads the player from adobe, but since adobe changed it, the install fails. You probably installed on the other machine before it broke [03:23] !awn [03:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:23] whereis [03:23] ahh [03:23] right [03:23] they just released an update [03:23] I can't seem to login to Ubuntu with my normal users. It hangs up at the "Loading local boot scripts" part, then goes back to the login screen. I'm logged in as a failsafe session, which seems to be perfectly fine. Does anyone know how to fix this? [03:23] bur what do I do till then [03:23] I've tried deleting .ICEauthority and reinstalling gdm to no avail. [03:23] leachim6, install it manually, in /usr/lib/firefox [03:23] leachim6: Wait; or try gnash [03:24] gnash doesn't work [03:24] !locate [03:24] locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [03:24] And what sites it does work on ... it looks crappy [03:24] DeiviD: locate or find [03:24] chaosrl: Have you tried logging in a newly-minted user? [03:24] DeiviD: before locate maybe do updatedb [03:24] vocx, umm ok so Im not using the guide you gave me? [03:25] mssever: Yes, i created a new user and it wouldn't let me log in either. [03:25] couldnt find an option to do recursive searchs [03:25] or if locate does that by default i guess i need to updatedb [03:25] ;) [03:25] My session is usually Xscript, if that's helpful [03:25] chaosrl: So clearly the problem isn't with the user's files, but with some system-wide config [03:25] yeah, i believe so [03:25] Kuropon_, oh, well it was a good guide. But since you cannot install it. Then follow the link ubotu gives you. [03:25] how can i get my wireless to work better [03:25] yeah, that was it :) thanks [03:25] DeiviD: locate searches eerything recursively already, no need for some switch on the command [03:26] !terminal | Kuropon_ [03:26] Kuropon_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:26] DeiviD➲ what searches? [03:26] if at all helpful, this happened after i tried using the mylittleubuntuguide.com's guide to installing the standard ATi drivers to allow suspend and hibernate [03:26] chaosrl: have you tries dpkg-reconfigure ? [03:26] vocx, err just help me installs it? @@ [03:26] locate *lpk [03:26] vocx, or Ill just go read >> [03:26] is what i needed, but it needed an upddatedb to work kahrytan [03:27] chaosrl: In that case, it sounds like you might have borked X [03:27] hmmm [03:27] updateddb? [03:27] is that bad? [03:27] haha [03:27] chaosrl: try this: [03:27] Kuropon_, err, the readme is self explanatory I think. Actually since it is a python program, you do not need to install it, just run it. [03:27] chaosrl: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:27] ok I got the modem drivers to install with no errors.. so I need to compile now [03:28] chaosrl: Then login at the virtual console and type startx [03:28] chaosrl: See if you get in that way [03:28] after running make clean, make mrproper [03:28] virtual console meaning ctrl-alt-f*? [03:28] vocx, all the read me said was to type 'cmd_tutorial' or Im looking at a different readme... how do I run it? [03:28] chaosrl: yes [03:28] i dont need to make an old config its a fresh install [03:28] How do i disable to ipv6 to run vmwareserver 2.0? [03:28] mssever: ok, i'll give that a shot [03:28] so is there any way to get flash working right now? [03:28] but do i need to make config first? [03:28] mssever: what version of intellij idea/netbeans do you use please? [03:28] does anyone know if graphic acceleration works under xen? [03:29] Synx_hm: can I pm you? [03:29] mutable: I tried a beta version of netbeans, but I don't use it anymore since I didn't like it [03:29] peepsalot, id guess no [03:29] danbhfive: yes [03:30] vocx, I challenge how "self explanatory" it is since I can't even start it -.- [03:30] Fawkesfyre, if you already got the modem drivers installed, arent you done? just have to modprobe the module? [03:30] is counterstrike possible for linux? [03:30] !appdb | Fosfatus [03:30] Fosfatus: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [03:30] Mastershrek its not detecting the module === jared is now known as tofaffy|lappy [03:30] Kuropon_, well, the information wasn't exactly in the readme, but it is more complete in the "install" file [03:30] Fawkesfyre, i think you have to manually load it [03:31] MasterShrek: how is that done? [03:31] mssever: i just want to know if you use some swing/awt ide (or any other application), not eclipse. it happens just in swing/awt applicaions to me [03:31] Fawkesfyre, sudo modprobe done [03:31] Fawkesfyre, from what ive read you look like you are trying to compile a kernel, is that correct? [03:31] mutable: That's the only Java app I have. I generally stay as far from Java as I can [03:31] is there a way to get the nvidia-settings to always take effect, i reboot and my twinview setup goes away [03:32] mutable: or had [03:32] MasterShrek: the drivercompiling.txt gives instructions [03:32] hmm, i'm considering trying to use xen so that I can test some beta distros, etc. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for my desktop machine though [03:32] mssever: ok, thank you [03:32] how do I access Compiz's advanced settings? (so I can change every little effect) [03:32] !ccsm | nilihanth [03:32] nilihanth: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [03:33] mssever: thx! [03:33] MasterShrek: it wasnt working... i just now got the driver to make install with out errors.. but the modprobe is still not detected [03:33] nilihanth: np [03:33] Fawkesfyre, so waht are you trying to make config and all that? sounds like kernel compiling steps === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] === pragma_ is now known as pragma_ICBM [03:34] mssever: no dice. it gave me a straight gray screen with an "x" cursor in the middle, and then stopped there [03:34] MasterShrek: the drivercompiling.txt that comes with the modem driver file === shinji2570 is now known as shinji257 [03:34] chaosrl: That's a pretty good sign that X is broken [03:34] MasterShrek: the drivercompiling.txt that comes with the scanModem file [03:34] when i ctrl-alt-f3 and then ctrl-alt-f8 again, it would show the "Loading local boot scripts" problem i have before [03:35] is there any way to fix X? [03:35] hi all! is there any c compiler for Ubuntu like turbo c for windows? [03:35] chaosrl: Did you back up xorg.conf before making the changes? [03:35] MasterShrek: i dont need to compile after attaching the driver? [03:35] brb [03:35] Fawkesfyre, can you give me a link, so i can see what you are looking for? [03:35] lookin at* [03:35] mssever: no, but i can check if i have backups [03:35] qwerty121: there is gcc [03:35] sure [03:35] ah. yes i actually did [03:35] come one now someone has to know how to improve your wireless range [03:36] ping; cantenna ? [03:36] mssever: should i replace the xorg.conf with the original that i had backed up? [03:36] robdig: do i have to install it from 'add/remove' utility? [03:36] chaosrl: one minute; I'm looking something up [03:36] ok thanks [03:36] qwerty121, install the build-essential package, it comes with a bunch of nessicary compilers [03:36] qwerty121: install the build-essential package [03:37] MasterShrek: http:/linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz [03:37] he guys and gals how do i enable su in 7.10 [03:37] can someone tell how to login as root sudo wont cut it [03:37] does anyone know where to get flashplayer.xpt ? [03:37] * robdig thinks MasterShrek has flying fingers tonight :) [03:37] amigaman2, enable it? its a program [03:37] chaosrl: Yes, restore that file; failing that, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:37] * MasterShrek is on fire [03:37] restart type root for name and then type the root password [03:37] =) [03:37] robdig and MasterShrek: it's already installed. how can i access it? [03:37] ok [03:37] qwerty121, gcc file.c [03:37] in a terminal [03:38] hi [03:38] ok then is there a gnome based file manager like in kde [03:38] nautilus? [03:38] MasterShrek and robdig: thanks [03:38] what is cantenna, sn0n [03:38] does it show i'm not use to gnome lol [03:38] how do I install programs outside of synaptic? I don't understand all this ./configure stuff [03:38] ping, google it [03:38] ping, google it [03:38] ok thanks [03:39] craptasticles [03:39] here [03:39] craptasticles, thats compiling from source, most things you need are in synaptic already [03:39] trying to copy as folder to root/www/apache2 dir [03:39] craptasticles: depends on the software, ussually have to read the README file in the tar.gz and ussually involves compiling. Most things are in synaptic [03:39] im running ubuntu 7.10 does anyone know why i cannot connect to the internet in limewire deb? [03:39] thats on the desktop says i don't have permission [03:40] craptasticles: psychocats has an article on how to install anything, including from source; I don't have the link handy, but you should be able to find it [03:40] My synaptic is pretty much empty because it's a fresh install. [03:40] craptasticles [03:40] mssever: thanks [03:40] i do su in term but been so long i for get how to copy a folder lol [03:40] download your file [03:40] um ok how do i allow root to login from the login screen? [03:40] ill give you an examle [03:40] type root and th password [03:40] chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin [03:40] type root as usser name then rooty pw isn't it [03:41] sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin [03:41] craptasticles: make sure you have all the repositories on system->administration->software sources and check everything there [03:41] AFK [03:41] ok; use sudo then? [03:41] robdig: i'm installing my wireless card. [03:41] look at my last two entries [03:41] localgod12: You have to configure GDM to allow root to log on; but there are very few valid reasons for root to log on to X, which is why it's forbidden by default [03:41] can't update synaptic [03:41] Fawkesfyre, hmm, im kinda confused on that whole thing, thats a strange way of installing a driver [03:41] this will help you [03:41] wheeee [03:42] MasterShrek: at least its not me then [03:42] heh [03:42] amigaman2, huh ive logged into 7.10 a billion times doing it the way i mentioned, literally a billoin times [03:42] ok [03:42] :) [03:42] man use to mepis lol [03:42] and kde [03:42] Anyone use vmwareserver 2.0... i installed it and removed ipv6 but what do i need to do to run it? [03:42] i'm lost in gnome [03:42] here I was like a sucker, looking for a problem with sil680 pata <-> smartd, and all along it was that smartd REEEEEALLY didn't like my card reader. that's what I get for assuming...and not checking the logs. [03:42] !enter | amigaman2 [03:42] amigaman2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:42] * regeya egg <- face [03:43] amigaman2: I'm lost in KDE :) [03:43] ok [03:43] later [03:43] MasterShrek: under drivercompiling.txt it says i need to change my makefile and then run bzImage [03:44] How do i add default run scripts from init.d? [03:44] Fawkesfyre, i really dont know, once again bzImage is your kernel image after you compile, so i dont really know if they want you to be compiling a whole new kernel, or just a module, or wtf is supposed to happen...do they have forums? [03:44] +x them Synx_ubuntu [03:45] Synx_ubuntu: update-rc.d SERVICENAME defaults [03:45] MasterShrek: not afaik [03:45] sn0n: if they are in init.d they arent going to do anything unless you symlink them into the appropriate runlevel dirs [03:46] Synx_ubuntu: that script will put the service into all of the default runlevels (check the manpage for more info) [03:46] its things like that that bug me about ubuntu [03:46] linxeh: awesome thanks, and what to run and stop them from the command line? [03:46] like in slack, as long as its there, and executable, it will run [03:46] linxeh: thnx, didnt know. [03:46] mssever can you tell me how [03:46] linxeh: just ./servicename start/stop what ever? [03:46] looks like i need to to configure samba [03:46] Synx_ubuntu: yeah [03:46] MasterShrek, init is mind boggling in ubuntu, no doubt [03:46] What are some php editors that can perform a code search for a directory? [03:47] MasterShrek: it says 'new drivers have to be compiled' [03:47] MasterShrek: well thats a peculiarity of Slackware then, because every other init.d distro does it this way [03:47] MasterShrek: the last time I used slackware it wasnt using init.d at all [03:47] it is a disgusting way to do it [03:47] linxeh, i dont think so, i think ubuntu used to be the old way too, and yes slack is rc.d, pretty much the smae thing tho [03:47] the old way ? [03:48] can you define that ? [03:48] can some one tell me how to modfy the GDM to allow root login? [03:48] /etc in general is quite disgusting but it is disgusting due to the crazy amount of modularity they try to build into it so all configurations can try to be done with package management [03:48] linxeh, the way, that i was talking about, if its in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d and executable, it will run on boot, i cant back that up, but i seem to remember it being like that [03:48] localgod12, you shouldnt have to you should be able to just do it [03:49] MasterShrek, yeah that's true the init script does a for loop through the files and then test -x's them [03:49] MasterShrek: with slackware you used to have to add things to rc.local etc [03:49] hello [03:49] soldats no its disabled by default [03:49] you don't need to add anything to rc.local in slack that you wouldn't need to add in ubuntu [03:49] in the last 5 years of using init.d based Linux systems I have yet to see one that doesnt use individual runlevel directories [03:49] linxeh, yea, you can put them in rc.local too, which is generally the easiest way to do it, no matter which distro [03:49] localgod12, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper search this page [03:50] bruenig: I haven't used slack for about 6-7 years [03:50] Whoa! I'm using linux again for the first time in almost a year - ubuntu on my laptop - and am really impressed. It's faster AND prettier than windows! [03:50] what is this meant when you say init.d based linux systems, that they call that directory init.d as opposed to rc.d, the name is not really important, it's the same thing [03:50] i have an issue copying debian-40r1-amd64-DVD-1.iso (4.4GB) to a mounted external hard drive (vfat mounted) ... I got a "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)" .. how can i solve the pblm ? [03:51] cam_, fat32 has a file size limit [03:51] I'm running under ubuntu desktop 7.04 amd64 [03:51] bruenig: there are two init systems [03:51] i think its 4 gigs [03:51] MasterShrek i concur 4 gb [03:51] ah... so execpt using another FS for the ext hdd ... i'm stucked right ? [03:52] but i'm just wondering how to try all the fancy compiz stuff, like the rotating cube, etc [03:52] google says it's 2^32-1 for the max filesize on a FAT32 FS [03:52] !compiz | porpentine [03:52] porpentine: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [03:52] whats that? 4095mb? [03:53] thanks [03:53] MasterShrek, 4096mb minus 1 byte [03:53] hi [03:53] MasterShrek 4294967295 [03:53] soldats, is fusion the default in gutsy, or do i have to install it? [03:53] ah, well either way, thats 4 gigs [03:53] I want to search all mp3 files in my computer and delete them all [03:53] how to do that? [03:53] and my iso is 4696463360 :S [03:53] find . -name *.mp3 -print [03:53] that's the command to find all mp3 files [03:54] How do you modify .sh files? [03:54] but how to delete the result? [03:54] SudoKing, just edit them like a text file [03:54] what is the command to find all mp3 files [03:54] btw, how do i list what packages i have currently installed? [03:54] MasterShrek, I did, but the file always is blank? [03:54] find . -name *.mp3 -print | rm maybe? [03:55] Ah, I have a bit of a problem, I changed my desktop resolution to max, and now my desktop (was black) I got the destkop bg back, but I have no menu items and I cannot click on the desktop (no menu) comes up [03:55] whats going on [03:55] SudoKing, are you sure the file isnt blank? also remember everything is case-senstive [03:55] ping, find . -name *.mp3 -print [03:55] that's the command [03:55] but when I pipe the command into | rm [03:55] it displays error [03:55] I went to the file, right clicked, clicked open with Kwrite [03:55] bruenig: slackware used to use a purely bsd-style script system, while other distros used SysV - it looks like slackware caved in and switched [03:56] eko_hermiyanto, pipe it to a file, then pipe a cat of the file to rm maybe? [03:56] MasterShrek, eko_hermiyanto actually there is an argument to find, something like -exec "rm" {} ; but you need to check out the manual page. Also this question has been asked before in the programming talk subforum in ubuntuforums.org [03:56] bruenig: This is how it used to be - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#BSD-style [03:56] hmm? [03:56] And my CPU is at max [03:56] I am soo close [03:56] linxeh, slackware has not caved in [03:56] junkie, with waht? [03:57] slackware ftw! [03:57] It seems as if my mac os x partition is coming up as a "Linux LVM" partition, but I don't know what that means [03:57] linxeh, they still use the simpler and more coherent bsd style, as does arch [03:57] Hmm? [03:57] Me thinks if I can restore the type, refit will see it and boot it [03:57] hey I'm luv'n the Xubuntu but how I'm having an issue adding icons to the quick launch. :( [03:58] bruenig: sure, but they have the init.d buried underneath ? [03:58] hi, i'm trying to install flash player 9 on dapper but it's not giving me any video. it plays sound, though [03:58] ciao guys :) [03:58] linxeh, there is an /etc/rc.d/init.d for compatablity, but /etc/rc.d is used for normal system startup [03:59] !mozplugger [03:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about mozplugger - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:59] MasterShrek: yes, that's what I was getting at. bruenig: and I'd argue about it being more coherant. init.d is a more manageable system imo [03:59] linxeh, what are you talking about buried underneath. If you read through slackwares init script, it does something like for file in /etc/rc.d/*; do test -x $file && $file start; done [03:59] bruenig: never mind [03:59] linxeh, manageable by whom? [03:59] not at all, rc.d is much simpler [03:59] simpler, and impractical [03:59] how do you ask about packages? [03:59] you mean manageable by someone other than people [03:59] that makes no sense linxeh [03:59] how is it impractical? [04:00] i find init.d impractical, too many symlinks and subfolders, its a mess [04:00] hm, I do -> "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" -> "p" and i see my osx partition as "Linux LVM" under System, but in QTParted it comes up as HSF+ for filesystem type.

[04:24] Ashfire908: hmm, can you ask your question again? [04:24] vocx: so I think what you might want to do is have it loop through [04:25] jrib, better more direct question: how does access to a user's crontab file work? [04:25] Ashfire908: user uses the "crontab" command. For example, to edit directly: crontab -e [04:26] Ashfire908, it needs a sticky bit because it writes to /var [04:26] which a user can't do [04:26] normal user* [04:26] hdevalence, well in line 238 it says something about 500 photos [04:27] someone could help me with UUID???? [04:27] vocx: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.groups.pools.getPhotos.html [04:27] I tried copy & paste to have the same form but another variable to check [04:27] Flying-Penguin, I don't think it is too complex to do. You need to know the button name, and then map it to the control key, then maybe you need to write a configuration file storing the changes, and then loading that configuration file each startup with the init scripts. Complicated? [04:27] but it didn't work [04:28] jrib, bruenig: what does crontab do to allow access to the folder? i can't access it directly. [04:28] "Global symbol "$flickr_pagenum" requires explicit package name at ./download_from_flickr.pl line 148." etc [04:28] vocx: For a user like me? Slightly, but its alright I am working through it slowly =D [04:28] Ashfire908, crontab writes a temporary file when you use crontab -e, and then does some consistency checking I think (might not do that, not terribly important for this point though) and then moves it over to /var/spool/ somewhere [04:29] bruenig, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user [04:29] Ashfire908, the reason it can access it when you use crontab as a normal user is that it has a sticky bit which means that it has the same permissions as the user which owns it (which is root) [04:29] Ashfire908, yeah it changes depending on which cron daemon you are using [04:29] the location [04:30] bruenig, i checked the permissions of the crontab file "user". it's read write owner, owned by "user" [04:30] Hello. Is it possible for Nano to print? [04:30] or to print a file in Nano? [04:31] Zylstra555, i don't *think* so [04:31] Ashfire908, are you sure? Usually the owner is root and the group is user [04:31] vocx: I didn't declare it. It seems to work. [04:31] Zylstra555, close the file and then use lpr to print it [04:31] Ashfire908: Do you know of a terminal text editor that can do so? (dont have a GUI installed, its a server) [04:31] lpr? [04:31] Zylstra555, yeah it is a command, man lpr [04:31] how do I view or change permission of a folder? [04:32] Ashfire908: the crontab command is setgid [04:32] bruenig, owner of the crontabs folder is root, group crontab. [04:32] right now I'm running "for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do ./download_from_flickr.pl (args); done [04:32] but the best would be to put it into the actual perl [04:32] hdevalence: read 'man seq' :) [04:32] Can anyone help me with my warning problem I have had 7 devs try and so far no one can fix this warning [04:32] http://pastebin.ca/812980 [04:32] hdevalence, hooray. In case you already have an account you can visit the Programming Talk subforum in ubuntuforums.org We certainly have a Perl expert. [04:32] jrib, so... it make the group id.... [04:32] *makes [04:32] Ashfire908, ok yeah that crontab is implemented different than the one I am using but yeah the point is that you can't edit it because you don't have the right privileges one way or another, whereas the crontab binary can because it has a sticky bit [04:32] Ashfire908: Thanks for that information :) [04:33] hmm === andy__ is now known as andymushu [04:33] hdevalence, wget? [04:33] Why does wireless suck so bad in ubuntu? [04:33] how do I view or change permission of a folder? [04:33] bruenig, so the crontabs folder and the program both have sticky bits? [04:33] craptasticles, excellent question, that will get you help [04:33] Kuropon_, ls -l to view, chmod to change [04:33] what does ICS mean [04:34] ckin2001: what? [04:34] Ashfire908, no, the program has a sticky bit: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 10076 2007-11-15 12:21 /usr/bin/crontab [04:34] please help me i cry [04:34] Flying-Penguin, well, checked my setup. I have a ~/.xmodmap-rc containing one line "keycode 117 = Menu" which means my key with code 117, my "Alt Gr" will act as the "Menu" key. There are different ways to set this up with keycodes or names. It is explained in the xmodmap manual. [04:34] Ashfire908, the s means that it has the privileges of root when it executes which is why it can write the cron files when you can't by yourself [04:34] I wrote useradd jose, computer created jose as a user, but did not create a file in /home directory. How can I change it? [04:34] I've had nothing but problems from anything to do with wireless. Network Manager sees my network but it just refuses to connect to it. Any ideas? [04:34] ckin2001, simply type chmod? [04:34] codeman_, real men don't cry [04:35] Ashfire908, even if it isn't executed by root, it has root's privileges [04:35] Ashfire908, bruenig: I've only heard of the +s that crontab has there referred to as "setgid", whereas sticky bit refers to something else [04:35] just messing im about to pull my hair out 7 devs so far [04:35] Kuropon_, chmod "permissions or options" name [04:35] bruenig, the s is in group for me. [04:35] craptasticles: could you give me some more info about your setup? [04:35] Kuropon_, so, was the tutorial useful? [04:35] jrib, does it? perhaps, I get terminology twisted [04:35] vocx: I think what I'll do is change it so that instead of ending after 500, it will loop (so putting in -max 1600 will loop 4 times) [04:35] bulmer2: are you still around? [04:35] * genii sips a coffee and ponders the name craptasticles [04:36] Hello everyone, I can't get my sound working, can you help?

[04:36] one sec ckin [04:36] it's a long E sound: craptasticLES. [04:36] Ashfire908: yes, that means it's "setgid". Bruenig's explanation is still correct. When you run the 'crontab' command it has the privileges of the "crontab" group [04:36] Ashfire908, what does ls -l /usr/bin/crontab say? [04:36] andymushu: unencrypted and broadcasted [04:37] vocx, not enough info imo =p I did learn a few things but I was looking for more in depth like... apt-get .. how to edit.. what to edit if I have driver issues..

That's what worked for me. [04:41] Flying-Penguin, it's interesting actually. But both buttons are treated differently? Maybe there is more to it than we know. Some sort of X Server emulation. [04:41] iam using virtual box to run winxp . how to share files and folders in win xp? it only shows c: . [04:41] andymushu: um, the only protection I have is a mac-filtered static ip to the windows side of this same box [04:41] Ashfire908, the binary is not terribly dynamic in its uses, be hard to do anything with it [04:41] ckin2001, ok.. so it lets me access it as root but not as user [04:41] no idea piratehead... no very little about this in general! [04:41] ckin2001, how do I change that [04:41] Chumby: If you don't know how, you can install Feisty Fawn and upgrade to Gutsy in order to use Gutsy with the older kernel. [04:41] hi all [04:41] subverso: then why isn't it mounting, are you mounting as root or do you have user options enabled in fstab? [04:41] so... completely unsecure but not insecure [04:41] bruenig, k [04:41] I guess the group method is a bit more safe theoretically but a bunch of groups is dirty, [04:41] god damn pcspkr module is pissing me off [04:42] hey, i've started having trouble with programs crashing on me more and more frequently, the windows grey out and the program stops responding, doesn't matter how long i leave it, can anyone get me started on a fix here? [04:42] hdevalence, most probably yes, but again I'm not good at Perl. There is more than one way to do things in Perl. [04:42] vocx: Both buttons are treated diffrently.. infact my MB5 is showing up as Button3 witch is right click 0o and it goes foword in browsers and such [04:42] so many groups, gets tiring [04:42] silent_, CAN WE TALK PRIVATE [04:42] !pm | subverso === mike is now known as oshiii-_^ [04:42] subverso: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

[04:42] Kuropon_, you can chown username:usergroup filename to take ownership [04:42] no [04:43] does anyone know how to make myspace videos play? [04:43] Kuropon_, you can chmod +r filename to add read permissions [04:43] ckin2001, can it be the folder itself? with the files in it [04:43] Chumby: keep asking around. Perhaps post in the forums. There's a chance that it isn't kernel related. When you post, make sure you tell people what machine you're running it on and, ideally, tell them the details like what chipset you have and so on. [04:43] Please http://pastebin.ca/812980 [04:43] Kuropon_, you may have to use a -R for recursive as an option - man chmod or chown for details [04:44] hey so apparently even though I have build essential, I dont have the GTK+ package... what exactly is the name for apt-get ? [04:44] Chumby: This page might be useful to you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems [04:44] ók.. thanks pirate. will go to that page... good job! [04:44] I can't figure out if this is a problem with the drivers for the linksys cards or if it is a problem with Network Manager.

[05:48] matkix, still looking [05:49] LimCore: most of the time it's the human aspect you have to worry about. watch what you download [05:49] moanings [05:49] but the pmap shows 690000kB (ckin2001) [05:49] :) [05:49] which I find strange [05:49] joeljose420: HOLY LINES BATMAN, PLEASE USE ONLY ONE FOR YOUR QUESTION, CRUISE CONTROL [05:49] k sorry [05:50] my text is too small... must adjust [05:50] LimCore: app armor is a bit like grsecurity, more like selinux though. lets you profile applications to see what they really need access to, so when someone starts dropping shellcode into your apps, it doesn't help them much :-p [05:50] ckin2001 any idea why? [05:50] joeljose420, if you are starting with packaging you should read the subforum on Packaging and Compiling in ubuntuforums.org [05:50] joeb3_: PM Me when you find anything if you do. [05:50] pierce: cool, it doenst need any changes to kernel? or is ubuntu's kernel patched by derfault [05:51] MasterShrek, lawl you know what [05:51] imyousuf, pmap may be included libraries, im not quite sure how it works. also, mem includes /swap if i'm not mistaken [05:51] If my systems returns errors while running memtest86, is the only way to fix the problem replacing the memory? [05:51] LimCore: ubuntu has the kernel patches there by default, but no profiles activated [05:51] I dont have any swap memory ckin2001 :) [05:51] pierce: cool [05:51] Kuropon_, i prolly dont even wanna know [05:51] i'm getting a weird bug when i'm using the window switcher in cover mode on compizfusion on gutsy. i'm using intel X3100. when i use the window switcher, the windows appear momentarily and then they disappear!! [05:51] MasterShrek, now that I try... I don't have permission to add anything to my default folders ~/Documents ~/Videos ~/Music ~/Pictures [05:52] Kuropon_: that is most interesting [05:52] in xsane, can i create multi-page pdf from scans? [05:52] Kuropon_, well how did those folders get there? [05:52] * Kuropon_ nods [05:52] imyousuf, you could always multiply %mem by total [05:52] noname6243: are you doing any sort of overclocking to your memory? you can also try using a different bank. if your memory errors out then, you probably need to replace it [05:52] Kuropon_: rock those folders with a hard chmod [05:52] MasterShrek, they are default [05:52] ckin2001 I wanted to avoid that [05:53] no they arent [05:53] MasterShrek, Ubuntu created them on install [05:53] but now it seems I dont have a viable option [05:53] must have been from a windows migration [05:53] pierce: how to start that app armorred? and how to tune its config [05:53] noname6243: sometimes people are a bit too rough putting their memory in and poof goes the bank. [05:53] vocx: any ideas? [05:53] LimCore: apt-get install apparmor-profiles then google :-) [05:53] hi how do i edit things that are in the filesystem ? ? [05:53] kitofhawaii, that could have been the problem, I built it my self. [05:53] how do i edit as root ? [05:53] The only solution for that would be new motherboard? [05:54] imyousuf, lemme google a bit [05:54] help [05:54] ckin2001 ty [05:54] tahsin you can use sudo command [05:54] noname6243: if that's the case. but you should try different banks, a few sticks of memory at a time. sometimes you can get away with leaving a bank unpopulated, if you have enough slots for the rest of your memory [05:54] Kuropon_, youll just have to create a new scheme for your folders (i suggest using all lowercase names for the folders anyways, videos, music, docs, etc) and just moving all the files to their directories [05:54] how ? [05:54] imyousuf how do i do that [05:54] I only have 2 banks. [05:54] tahsin you can do so from the shell [05:55] imyousuf detail plz [05:55] MasterShrek, ok I just saw something rly fuking awkward [05:55] tahsin do you know where to look for terminal? [05:55] But, it could potentially be a problem with the dimms right? [05:55] Flying-Penguin, nope. Maybe contacting the developer directly would be the next approach. [05:55] imyousuf yes [05:55] oh god 1119 users =/ [05:55] Kuropon_, please watch your language, ops dont like it [05:55] noname6243: it could certainly. you have what, two banks, four slots? [05:55] does ubuntu offer easy way to run apache in chmod? [05:55] tahsin open the terminal [05:55] imyousuf i want to put some icons in the filesystem icon folder [05:55] imyousuf then [05:55] 1 bank 2 slots I believe, [05:55] and type sudo -s [05:55] i don't remember off of the top of my head, [05:56] imyousuf then ? [05:56] tahsin it will ask u for password use the same password u used to login to ubuntu [05:56] noname6243: that makes it pretty hard to do a meaningful test, without a separate computer to test the memory on. [05:56] anyone gets java 6 sun this error "libxcb-xlib.so.0 "Locking assertion failure" ? [05:56] imyousuf then ? [05:56] yeah, I know :( [05:56] tahsin now u r in the shell as root [05:56] hi, I've got a question about a bluetooth adapter.. is there any way to prevent it from going into suspend mode or whatever, it seems after about 15-20 minutes of inactivity it stops and i have to pull out, plug back in the bluetooth adapter [05:56] MasterShrek, Im logged under user Eden.. yet when I click on GUI "places" "documents - music - videos etc"... it prompts me to Kuropon User [05:56] imyousuf yes but i dont want to do it in the shell [05:56] its a USB bluetooth adapter [05:56] and I just got my computer back from a shop that didn't repair anything [05:56] on a desktop with no power management settings [05:57] imyousuf like in kubuntu u have an option edit as root === LDS_Trooper is now known as Rebel [05:57] tahsin you will need cp, mv, pwd [05:57] noname6243: unless you can boot with one slot empty. in that case, switch them around until you determine whether it's a slot on the motherboard or one of your sticks [05:57] imyousuf i dont like to use the terminal [05:57] MasterShrek, to Kuropon's folders... hence why all the confusion of me not able to put anything in them...

[06:14] nickrud: thanks anyway! :) [06:14] BlazeThree: unfortunately what i've heard, it's not necessarily pain free upgrade...but one can hope :) [06:14] Sescevok, well beryl is earlier version of compiz-fusion... there is no more beryl, they are merging [06:15] I have a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 2600XT DDR3, when opening the composite in the X and putting on xgl to get compiz to work it does the same to me [06:15] Stix: ahh no kidding [06:15] dear all, previously I able to browse all computers(including the file systems of those computers) in the active directory by using Ubuntu [06:15] Sescevok, yea, so this switch is somewhat forced upon us ;-/ [06:15] Hi, when I login, I get a dialog asking this "Expected was model "pc101", layout "us" and no options, but the the following settings were found: model "pc105", layout "se" and no options." . I don't mind one time, I pick keep GNOME, but it asks every time I log in [06:15] but why at this current time it only able to browse those computers, but when I look in the drive c or d of those computers, my nautilus could not display the content [06:16] in addition, I have administrator account in my network [06:16] Stix: well i guess i will have to play now too ;) [06:16] Compiz is totaly screwy with ATI [06:16] Kuropon_: WRONG [06:16] silent_, >< [06:16] silent_: RIGHT (for me) [06:16] 1111 [06:16] arash: don't make me send you a screenshot of my massive widescreen compiz cube on my Radeon card [06:16] silent_, people tell me to get Nvidia [06:17] Sescevok, be carefull... following what some people recommend can lead you into my situation... there are some bugs that make this switch rather tricky [06:17] fglrx is screwy with suspend, hence compiz is screwing with ati and work [06:17] silent_, wanna play with my settings and get my ATI card to work properly with compiz =p [06:17] compiz works fine with the open drivers included with Ubuntu, but worse with the closed drivers [06:17] silent_: depending on the nvidia you have, 3d can definitely be a pain. consider yourself fortunate :) [06:17] Kuropon_: yea, get nvidia, they have better hardware anyway.. the better linux support goes without saying [06:17] silent_, I blame AMD [06:17] Kuropon_: YES [06:17] hey [06:17] * Kuropon_ facepalms [06:17] Stix: i will research first [06:18] AMD was the best thing to happen to ati [06:18] yea, compiz donesn't like ati [06:18] eko_hermiyanto , are you having trobling mounting your drives? [06:18] now both of the underdogs are together at last [06:18] on contrary beryl loved ati [06:18] Kuropon_: nvidia or the penguin gets it :) [06:18] nickrud: thanks for that. I am back up and running. [06:18] its like nvidia and intel are sitting at the cool table... and AMD and ati are sitting at ... the other table [06:18] kitofhawaii, tell that to my wallet -.- [06:19] nickrud: so can you tell me how I can install the proprietary driver so it actually works? [06:19] davubuntu, that still doesn't fix your attempt to install that driver, which one was it? [06:19] Kuropon_: get a lower-level 7-series card... not expensive and will render compiz stuff [06:19] why are all of my coloured bars(at the top of programs) massive? [06:19] hi everyone [06:19] hehe it's all nice about "get different card" suggestions, except one thing... what about those with laptops ? LOL [06:19] nickrud: it's an ati [06:19] kitofhawaii, mid $100's is out of the question.. and I dont want anything lower.. I do video editing [06:20] xnati0n : system - preferances -appearance [06:20] Stix: there must be a way to do this [06:20] davubuntu, and how did you try to install them? [06:20] silent_: naw...ati's been around longer. nvidia recognized the fatal flaw in ati's and everyone else's designs (re driver rollouts) and designed their chip around easier upgrades and code reuse. it's just a philosophy thing that ati never understood [06:20] arash; they are still masivve [06:20] massive* [06:20] Stix: i hav an ati...and beryl works so well. and compiz fusion just adds plugins same engine behind it it seems...and can only do a few more things...stick with beryl [06:20] nickrud: I went to System > Administration > Restricted driver management [06:21] ** I am a noob and really in need of help, I don't mean to burden some of you veterans but I could really use some assistance. Anyone willing to help me would be greatly appreciated [06:21] davubuntu, oh, expetive. [06:21] !question | evanotten [06:21] evanotten: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [06:21] Sescevok, there is... I am close, just not there yet... need to reconfigure my driver and then change xconf.. .there are couple of bugs from the looks of things and some "tricks" are needed to get around them [06:21] ubotu, just contredicted urself? [06:22] nickrud: does that mean there is a problem? [06:22] i just went through the installation of the cd trying to dual boot from xp and i get the error loading operator message when i try to boot xp without a disk [06:22] Kuropon_: well you can definitely get ati to work...it's just more difficult than others. http://cchtml.com is ati's public "unofficial official" wiki, and it has excellent information [06:22] Stix: does compiz-fusion still have a config manager like beryl? [06:22] i am not sure where to start resolving this issue after looking things up the answer doesnt seem clear beyond reformatting [06:22] Sescevok, yes, it should [06:22] Kuropon_: http://wiki.cchtml.com sorry [06:22] kitofhawaii, haha your looking at a new Linux user =p.. no way Im getting it to work on my own === _max is now known as max [06:22] davubuntu, I have an ati, and don't touch those drivers. I would do: sudo aptitude purge xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted modules && sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules . That should get you back to a clean install [06:23] pierce: I tried firestarter, it crashed [06:23] Kuropon_: well then $100 might be worth the time it takes you to get good enough to set up the ati to your liking lol :) [06:23] evanotten , so you started with a XP on your computer and then installed Ubuntu? [06:23] less than 100 [06:23] Stix: well my setup is rock solid at the moment so i am going to leave as is. In the future im sure i will go to compiz-fusion but good luck! and i hope you get it starightened out. Seriously i woul ask #compiz-fusion i have been in that channel they are helpful [06:23] yes [06:24] find an old radeon or an fx card [06:24] on ebay [06:24] evanotten : when you turn on your computer, does it ask which one you want to boot? [06:24] they'll render compiz [06:24] i later tried to re-run the install and it partitioned once again i feel stupid right now [06:24] :( [06:24] kitofhawaii, lol charity funds for Kuropon's christmas nvidia card is now open [06:24] no it does not ask [06:24] I am using an LVM and i really messed something up and now it doesn't show my LV [06:24] anyone want to help me get evdev working for my G5 mouse? [06:25] Kuropon_: what type of video work do you do anyway? [06:25] evanotten : hmm, might it be your formated over the whole WinXP system? how many partitions do you have now? you should have at least 1 NTFS 1 ext3 (most likely) [06:25] kitofhawaii, typesetting [06:25] Grr... [06:25] Sescevok, thanks I'll go bug them.. and you are absolutely right about staying with a working setup, no reason to break your stuff and by the time you feel like trying something new all bugs will be resolved [06:25] i was capable of viewing files from the partitioned windows drive without any problems however [06:25] kitofhawaii, I wanna get into encoding and all.. and I do a lot of streaming @@ [06:25] three i think [06:25] Kuropon_: that's mostly 2d then...not 3d...? [06:26] I changed the grub resolution settings and everything, but I'm still having a problems with my monitor blinking! [06:26] kitofhawaii, hmm? [06:26] * Tyraen shakes his meaty fist. [06:26] * nickrud ducks [06:26] since updating to 7.10 I have been having a semi-daily complete system freeze and I'm not sure why. Is there a way to log the last activity or any kind of reason for the crash? like tail -f /var/log/"whateverlog"? [06:26] evanotten : hmm, are you sure your WinXP still exists on your computer? [06:26] i really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me [06:26] kitofhawaii, ohh umm lol.. it requires intensive video usage.. [06:26] not sure other than i can view files by going to the computer section [06:26] like that you didn't overwrite it [06:27] i can see all my pics if i click on that partitioned drive [06:27] nickrud: thanks for that. I am now rebooting [06:27] how u set permission to a folder? [06:27] chown [06:27] chmod [06:27] someone had mentioned Compiz had a channel on this serevr? [06:27] my bad [06:27] evanotten : so the windows folder is till around right? [06:27] example? [06:27] yeah [06:27] !chown |bonster [06:27] bonster: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

That's the best place to see what's going on with resolutions [06:29] Kuropon_: *shrug* i don't play video games :) [06:29] what's the best desktop environment? [06:29] kitofhawaii, btw will my copy transfer from one user to an other if I log? [06:29] Jay-Oh-En: matter of opinion [06:29] evanotten, I think the problem lies around here, but I can't say more precisely [06:29] !grub | evanotten [06:29] evanotten: 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 [06:29] Sescevok: what's the fastest then? === xnati0n is now known as xLE [06:30] Jay-Oh-En: probably fluxbox [06:30] whats that? [06:30] Kuropon_: it shouldn't, as long as the bookmark file is under your home folder and not the other :) [06:30] Jay-Oh-En: its a desktop....very light [06:30] i have heard of grub however i am not sure what to do let me check out that link brb [06:30] is the version of azureus in the repos still bugged? [06:30] I have searched all over and I can't seem to find any solutions as to why my LCD screen blinks on and off constantly. [06:30] Jay-Oh-En: xfce is pretty light as well [06:30] thank you [06:30] kitofhawaii, wait what? [06:31] Sescevok: but will it have everything i want it to offer while it looking good [06:31] kuropon, you're talking about the places file.. ".gtk-bookmarks" correct? [06:31] kitofhawaii, can I access my bookmarks from this user to an other without switching user? [06:31] Jay-Oh-En: xfce will [06:31] kitofhawaii, /eyeballs [06:31] Jay-Oh-En: fluxbox is pretty minimal....but cool [06:32] kitofhawaii, yes [06:32] Kuropon_: uhm...well you can add whatever you want to both. i don't know about being able to use one in the other, without creating a link [06:32] kitofhawaii, ok ok lets start over [06:32] So that's where they come from, always wondered. Should be under .gnome, that's one thing kde's pretty good with [06:33] kitofhawaii, Im switching user to access its bookmarks and then cmin back here and adding them.. then editing them [06:33] Jay-Oh-En: what kind of hardware do you have? [06:33] kitofhawaii, my question was... is a copy paste going to work [06:33] kitofhawaii, while I switch users [06:33] Kuropon_: why not just gksu it? [06:34] kitofhawaii, HA .... what's that ^^ [06:34] well im using kubuntu right now and i like it but i would like to make it look nicer then it already is to me with it NOT being slow Sescevok [06:34] Kuropon_: just type gksu and hit enter...it's pretty self explanatory [06:34] put a background on it =p [06:34] Kurpon_ ever considered one account per iser :) [06:35] Jay-Oh-En: again... whats your hardware [06:35] arash yessum.. but the different account are friends who have been ssh's onto me and helped me through many many rough nights [06:35] Kuropon_➲ you use firefox? [06:35] Sescevok: how can i show you with a list of everything [06:35] kahrytan, yes [06:36] Kuropon_➲ then bookmarks are in .mozilla under home folder [06:36] Jay-Oh-En: well....whats the processor and ram? [06:36] excuse me but i have a question; i want to burn an iso format file into a blank DVD disc, so i can't tell the diffrence between /dev/hdd and /dev/dvd [06:36] kahrytan, not those bookmarks [06:36] amd 64 +3000 [06:36] and 1gig of ram [06:36] kahrytan: kuropon's fixing the places shortcut [06:36] nickrud: http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/47926/ [06:36] can someone tell me the difference? [06:36] aye [06:37] kahrytan: not the bookmarks in firefox...places goes to the wrong user right now [06:37] xiaofeng: open k3b application and select option Burn DVD Image [06:37] jay-oh-en , that Kubuntu question is not Ubuntu-general afaik,it's more KDE-like, have you asked in #kubuntu ? you want more effects, right? [06:37] davubuntu, looking [06:37] xiaofeng, /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to your actual device, type ls -l /dev/dvd [06:37] then wouldnt gconf-editor be good place to look? [06:37] kitofhawaii, so I have gksu open [06:37] nickrud: thanks [06:38] Hi everyone I'm having problems with my computer MBR. First I had XP on an 80gb part. and an extra 20gb part. Then I installed linux, then overwrote that with a beta version of longhorn. this in essence deleted grub and put its own bootloader, well I got a working copy of vista and installed it over the longhorn beta. This created its own bootloader that when booting to the older version of windows software would go to the longhorn boo [06:38] kitofhawaii, run the ..gtk-bookmarks [06:38] in there [06:38] arash: yes I'm in kubuntu right now sorry i brought up a non related topic :[ [06:38] oh yea, thank you for your help! [06:38] kitofhawaii, and what do I put as user? [06:38] Sescevok: amd 64 +3000 and 1 gig of ram [06:38] davubuntu, ok, I see the problem. You are getting vesa driver, not the ati driver. do grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf , tell me if you see either ati or vesa on one of the lines [06:38] Kuropon_: i'd just run gedit, and then navigate from file -> open to where you need to open it. use either root or the other user for user [06:39] Jay-Oh-En: shouldnt be too slow ...... is it really slow? [06:39] Jay-Oh-En: run top and see what is eating resources [06:39] Jay-Oh-En: eh, no problem :D , but remeber if you have questions that are Ubuntu-general (such as file permissions etc.), you are very welcome to Ubuntu channel since it is more active [06:39] Sescevok: not really only when i open firefox [06:39] arash: alrighty [06:39] nickrud: vesa [06:40] Jay-Oh-En: well firefox is coded differently than the rest of KDE ..... which is why GTK is popular ove QT [06:40] morning [06:40] is there any channel that helps people with coding problems? im new to this network. I could use some help [06:40] bguito: which language? [06:40] nickrud: so do I need to edit xorg.conf to put ati there instead or something [06:41] kitofhawaii, [eden@eden-d Videos]$ gksu [06:41] cannot open display: [06:41] Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [06:41] No protocol specified [06:41] Sescevok: ill try gtk [06:41] Jay-Oh-En: use konqueror if using KDE.....konqueror is cool [06:41] err sry [06:41] davubuntu, ok, then cd /etc/X11/xorg.conf && cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.before.nickrud.mucked.about && sudo nano xorg.conf then find the driver vesa line and change to ati [06:41] Sescevok: but a bunch of my pages show up different [06:41] nickrud: Would my drivers have anything to do with my monitor blinking on and off? I'm trying to figure out if it is that or a display frequency problem or something completely different. [06:41] davubuntu, you can just copy and paste that command sequence [06:41] Kuropon_: nothing came up? just do "gksu gedit" then [06:41] Jay-Oh-En: really? what version on ubuntu? [06:41] kitofhawaii, hmm [06:42] hi all, anyone willing to help me out with a dual monitor problem i'm having? [06:42] Tyraen, I've been thinking (not very effectively) about your problem, and I'd guess first you're just pushing your upper freqs, but that's a really feeble guess [06:42] Sescevok: how do i find out what version you mean like gutsy gibbon? [06:42] kitofhawaii, ok its open.. where am I browsing to @@ [06:42] Jay-Oh-En: lsb_release -a [06:42] i seem to be ok to whomever was helping me, i think at this point with the second install i have partitioned twice, is there a safe method to get rid of the second partition that i did by accident? [06:42] Jay-Oh-En: right [06:42] nickrud: Heck, I'd be more than happy for -any- suggestions, regardless of however feeble they might or might not be. ;) :p [06:43] evanotten . like merging them? [06:43] sure [06:43] nickrud: Also, I have read some nasty things about KVM switches (which I am using) and some rather bad effects to Ubuntu. [06:43] i am not sure if they can be consolidated because they contain the same files [06:43] however it is consuming more hard drive space than needed [06:43] Tyraen, well, I guess I'd take the kvm switch out and see what happened. [06:43] hi. im wonder if someone knows a command to seeking to a position in a file? im writing something in lisp, and the error is in the form of "error at file position = 4813" [06:43] hi all [06:43] Kuropon_: /home//.gtk-bookmarks [06:44] kitofhawaii, I typed .gtk-bookmarks into search bar. nothing came up [06:44] Sescevok: 7.10 [06:44] when i could have a larger single partition [06:44] nickrud: I'll give that a whack right now. [06:44] evanotten, just to be sure, you have to ext3 partitions you want to one, one of them contains a failed Ubuntu installtion and other one contains your current working one? [06:44] my bacula clients can not connect to storage on diff machine [06:44] why [06:44] what i have to check [06:44] for that [06:44] two of them [06:44] the first one failed [06:44] Kuropon_: Eden is your username? [06:44] Tyraen, and please, that wasn't supposed to sound quite so abrupt ;) [06:44] the second time i installed it now works fine [06:44] nickrud: I can't cut and paste because I am chatting with you from a different machine. And... there were some problems with the command too. You can't cd to a file. :) [06:44] and offers a menu to boot whichever windows or ubuntu [06:44] nickrud: should I reboot now? [06:44] what app can i use to burn an iso image? [06:44] so everything works fine now [06:45] can anyone help me with this : whenever i play any videos, in fullscreen mode the video does not come clear(it does not refresh correctly) [06:45] kitofhawaii, mmhmm [06:45] mynyml: k3b [06:45] davubuntu, lol, you are so right. But you see the intent, anyway ;) [06:45] jude: I advise VLC, stat [06:45] just want to clean up my mistake i made earlier if possible [06:45] mynyml: k3b [06:45] I'll try, thks [06:45] evanotten : Yes, it's easy if you got the live CD (can be old) [06:45] davubuntu, no, just log out, hit ctl-alt-backspace for luck (that's how you restart X) and log back in [06:45] LimCore: its gonna download a ton of kde libs .. isnt there a gnome app that'll do the job? [06:45] Kuropon_: close what you have open...go to terminal, type "cd ~" then type "gedit .gtk-bookmarks" and then put this in there http://pastebin.com/mfa2db2d [06:45] nickrud: yes I have played with xorg on other machines. But I don't like it too much. :) [06:46] mynyml: dunno. but kde rocks [06:46] I haven't built up enough curiosity to try kde... I'm a gnomefreak [06:46] i guess for now i can leave things the way they are, i am thinking about going full on ubuntu and reformatting so i can rid myself of windows i have considered it for a long time now [06:46] davubuntu, heck when I started we had to write them from scratch, no dpkg-reconfigure for us ;p [06:46] mynyml: what are you looking to do? [06:46] LimCore: hmm. i burnt the iso and was gonna try kubunto for gutsy ... i tried the live cd now i'm not so sure [06:46] silent_, KDE 4 will make you curious enough ;) [06:46] Kuropon_: minus the 1, 2, 3, 4 :) [06:46] evanotten : OK, still wanna know how to merge the partitions? [06:46] Sescevok: i wanna burn xubuntu gutsy [06:47] yeah [06:47] please [06:47] hi. im wonder if someone knows a command to seeking to a position in a file? im writing something in lisp, and the error is in the form of "error at file position = 4813" [06:47] mynyml: use gnomebaker [06:47] Jordan_U, have you tried the ones in the backports? is it worth trying? [06:47] kitofhawaii, what 1234? lol [06:47] Kuropon_: i was just being silly :) [06:47] nickrud, No, and I have no idea [06:47] nickrud: I have edited them manually several times. I kinda know what's what... messed around with trackpads and stuff a bit too. But Gutsy is making it too easy and I can't remember what to do. :) [06:47] nickrud: Alright. I was really hoping that was the problem. :/ [06:47] kitofhawaii, ok easy question ... the .gtk-bookmarks from cd ~ [06:47] kitofhawaii, whoes is it [06:47] yes... [06:47] anyone know of a "Hello World" tutorial for Cmake? [06:48] nickrud: Okay I am getting this message: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" [06:48] Sescevok: ahh... sounds good. its description didnt mention iso burning so i wasnt sure [06:48] what does your prompt say? [06:48] Sescevok: thanks [06:48] mynyml: it never used to .... it does now [06:48] davubuntu, what does lspci | grep -i vga say? [06:48] evanotten: boot from the LIVE CD, so you have a Live CD session, go to system - administration - GNOME partition Editor, purge/remove the failed partition, then extend/resize the other partition so it covers the area that recently was covered by not working partition [06:48] Kuropon_: what does your prompt say? whatever the beginning part is (i.e. Eden) that's the user that you are in [06:48] kitofhawaii, /giggle [06:48] nickrud: It doesn't appear to make any difference. Would I change frequency through the grub menu.lst or somewhere else? [06:48] kito I fixed it =p === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:49] kitofhawaii, fixed it ^^ [06:49] evanotten : no need to touch the terminal :) [06:49] Kuropon_: lol it's all fixed? [06:49] cool i can do that [06:49] nickrud: Well before I do that it is asking me to configure the display myself and is giving me the options configure, shutdown or continue??? What do you want me to do? [06:49] davubuntu, tell it to configure, it should go back to the vesa mode. [06:49] kitofhawaii, yes.. the gedit .gtk-bookmarks didnt work earlyer proly because I was in a sub dir [06:49] kitofhawaii, vs being ~ [06:50] thanks a million man i was concerned with making the change, a little paranoid to make a problem but you have helped me a lot so thanks again man [06:50] Tyraen, you would make the change in xorg.conf , but you would need to find the exact freqs for your monitor first [06:50] kitofhawaii, saw the typos in it and swtched everything to eden.. all better now ^^ [06:50] I need help editing my partition table from the ubuntu live cd [06:51] tanlaan, so, whats the problem (more precisely)? [06:51] Kuropon_: good :) glad it worked :) [06:51] one last thing... is there a similar place to device manager on ubuntu i am trying to hunt down some graphics card drivers, however i dont remember what card i have in my vaio or where to find supporting drivers to get all the eye candy [06:51] ya partitioning with Ubuntu is very sketchy.. you'll need to do some math unless u want it to eat ur entire drive [06:51] silent_, does not help.I just installed vlc [06:51] evanotten: at the terminal I use lspci. There might be something more user-friendly though. [06:51] kitofhawaii, perhaps you can assist with something else now =D [06:51] nickrud: Got that already. 60mhz. horiz (or vertical...I forget which, exactly the higher number is for, but you get the idea). [06:52] kitofhawaii, /shakes your hand [06:52] arash: I used fdisk /mbr from a bootable floppy to get rid a bloated boot menu that was installed with vista *which I replaced with ubuntu*. So I had grub which led to a vista bootmenu which led to a longhorn bootmenu *from a beta* that led to XP [06:52] evanotten: Im not allowed to mention this (Ubuntu policy, the program can crash badly), but since you got recent isntalltion, try out ENVY (IF NOTHING ELSE WORKS),, it can save you days spend of times finding the problem [06:52] arash: but when I used that, it got rid of grub and made the vista boot menu un useable [06:52] Kuropon_: i suppose...depends on what it is :) [06:52] nickrud: it says "03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technoologies Inc RZV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]" [06:52] kitofhawaii, lol [06:53] kitofhawaii, ok so I have mplayer installed... mplayer is the best player to use right? [06:53] arash: so I'm hoping that if I remove all partitions other than the windows xp partition, I should be able to use fdisk to repair the mbr correctly [06:53] envy? ok i will have to google that [06:53] nickrud: And the xorg.conf would affect the standard prompt? [06:54] gah, anyone know the name of that nifty disk usage analyzer? Gtk+ based, it had some funny name too [06:54] Tyraen, you mean a console, one of the ctl-alt-fx places? no [06:54] can everyone agree that mplayer is the best Linux based media player? [06:54] Kuropon_: that's personal opinion. i have no personal preference :) [06:54] Tyraen, and if it's doing it there, I have no clue [06:54] kitofhawaii, tell me =D [06:54] davubuntu, a sec [06:54] kitofhawaii, what is your personal pref [06:54] Kuropon_: nope [06:54] evanotten : have it as resource if guides are a headache, 'a last resort', but it's great, also be awaer of if you use 7.10, check system-administration - restricted drivers administration [06:54] nickrud: Yeah. I'm running the server edition (LAMP server) and I don't know enough about fixing misc troubleshooting problems. :| [06:54] !envy [06:54] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [06:54] Ademan, then what is =D [06:54] Kuropon_: i use it the most, but even Totem is pretty good these days, and VLC is a fan favorite [06:55] Kuropon_: depends what you're doing...other people in here will give a better answer, since i offload everything to my mp3 player anyway. [06:55] Ademan, ya my vlc decided to spit at me and wont even load anymore [06:55] i have 7.10 so i will check that out [06:55] vlc cant render soft sub either [06:56] Ademan, and totem is giving me head echs [06:56] Kuropon_, try removing the config directory to fix vlc, rm -rf ~/.vlc [06:56] Kuropon_, dunno what soft subs are but it reads subtitle files [06:57] astro76: that's what a soft sub is [06:57] astro76, no.. it can't render them worth crap =/ pardon my french [06:57] "software subtitle" as opposed to the subtitle being baked into the video file [06:57] ha ha stoked man i got it all worked out.. i will have to work on consolidating that extra partition... couldnt be happier [06:57] not as recommendation but as preference do you like kde or compfiz fusion? [06:58] apples and oragnes, evanotten [06:58] where do "wget" files get saved? [06:58] bananas are better... [06:58] xLE, current directory [06:58] Kuropon_➲ I think VLC is the best media player for videos. [06:58] jude: that is odd indeed, does your graphics processor blow? [06:58] what if im not in any directory.. just x@diablo:~$ [06:58] kahrytan, it doesn't support soft sub which is a big issue [06:58] xLE, you are in your home directory, ~/ [06:58] evanotten : I like KDE, but my Kubuntu 7.10 CD didnt work, so I got Ubunt -.- . , be aware that you do not nede to install Kubuntu to try our KDE session on Ubuntu, it's easy to install and try! [06:59] Kuropon_: try a few then. there's a lot out there === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:59] o there [06:59] evanotten: count with a headache if you go for KDE+compiz though [06:59] silent_, it does not [06:59] Kuropon_➲ try askingfor it? [06:59] kitofhawaii, well Im having issues with mplayer and totem is spitting at me [06:59] davubuntu, according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/87244 , the standard free driver (ati) doesn't work with your card. [06:59] davubuntu, another sec :) [06:59] i got this problem just last week [06:59] so i should search for kde session? not sure i follow [06:59] does grub play nice with xfs /boot partitions these days? [07:00] to spare the pain i should stay away from compiz right now though with 7.10 [07:00] ? [07:00] kahrytan, ? [07:00] evanotten, they are saying you can install kde from regular ubuntu (gnome) by installing kubuntu-desktop package [07:00] how do i change my directory to "downloads" which is a file on the desktop [07:00] ok [07:00] xLE, cd ~/Desktop/downloads [07:00] cd ~/Desktop/Downloads [07:00] xLE, using Firefox? [07:00] double click on downloads [07:01] i am curious, does anyone know why Tremulous is in multiverse? it is GPL... doesn't that mean it should be in universe? [07:01] Hi everybody, I have a quick question... Im transferring ~400 GB of data from a Windows computer to my new Ubuntu machine (yep, I made the switch)..... I have the drive connected via network, but Im worried about files being corrupted during the transfer.... Is it safer to send the files via netowrk, or to put the drive into a USB2 external enclosure, and send them that way? [07:01] evanotten: yea, as astro said, and I can say from own experience that running compiz on KDE is more troublesome than compiz on GNOME [07:01] quicksilver_, you shuld be ok to do it over the network [07:01] jude: Are you using the proper drivers? [07:01] jude: check your cpu usage when in full screen [07:01] quicksilver_, just make sure you arent sending windows OS folders over =p [07:01] Ok. :) Thanks! I have it all set up, I was just wondering if it was the right move. [07:02] quicksilver_, do it from a terminal and you can monitor if there are any errors [07:02] quicksilver_: you could use something like WinSCP which would at least be a little better than the windows filesharing utility [07:02] WinSCP... Good idea. :) [07:02] cuz with the windows file copy.. one file fails and you are hosed because it copies in a very weird order [07:02] silent_, my drivers are correct, in fullscreen mode the CPU usage is 100% [07:03] quicksilver_, just install openssh-server in ubuntu and winscp will just work [07:03] Yeah, I was thinking that. :) [07:03] Great idea! Thanks everybody! [07:03] quicksilver_, mind you it will be slower with the encryption [07:03] jude: there ya are [07:03] but it beats setting up an ftp/samba server [07:03] Im ok with that. I have time, but I dont have any leniency to data-loss. [07:04] davubuntu, from what I see, the restricted driver should work, but as I say, I hate ati. I have one in my laptop. You could try the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd driver as well, but it's still not too good from what I read [07:04] jude: what processor, by chance? [07:04] silent_, bu why does it go to full?? Only in the fullscreen mode [07:04] AMD Athlon 64 bit 2800+ [07:04] nickrud: Okay. I'll be back in a minute if you can help me with that. [07:04] hi. im wonder if someone knows a command to seeking to a position in a file? im writing something in lisp, and the error is in the form of "error at file position = 4813" [07:05] nickrud: either way thanks for your help [07:05] What do I have to do in order to get MP3s and other common audio file types with Rythmbox???

I don't know what to choose [09:03] haha well theyre really basic, simplechat, [09:03] pythondasnake: chose / [09:03] post em here then [09:03] pretty elementary compared to the other issues being asked [09:03] *choose [09:04] Iok.. [09:04] well i was considering installing ubuntu on my ps3, but i figure id do it on my laptop first [09:04] pythondasnake: ok heres what i did, and it is easier to have the windows partition first, but you set three partions for ubuntu on for the root, one for the swap and one for everything else. [09:04] cuz i care less about my laptop :-p [09:04] pythondasnake: you need a root partition, that is what / is [09:04] Oh I need three [09:04] I think I only have two [09:04] pythondasnake: if you are unsure how you want to manage your partitions, you should have it do it for you [09:04] Yeah.. [09:05] but i wanted to know how to install it so i can load both windows and ubuntu if i wanted to [09:05] pythondasnake: you need root, boot, and maybe swap [09:05] and then some compatibility issues [09:05] pythondasnake: then windows should be partitioned under fat32 and what pierce said is true, if you don't know what you are doing let it do it for you [09:05] Everytime I get close to doing it ..I get freaked out.. I can't lose my other operating system from some dumb user error I commit [09:05] pierce: thanks [09:05] I guess I will just wait [09:05] For a programmer I have never done this before.. [09:06] Maybe I'll just buy another drive [09:06] I'm not sure what is better about Ubuntu yet everyone just talks about it [09:06] pythondasnake: i put my entire hard drive on an external before i started anything [09:07] and yes ubuntu is way better you just have to get into it [09:07] Yeah I should back it up to the fullest [09:07] ping I hear good things about it [09:07] What is the purpose of the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh file? [09:07] pythondasnake: I suggest you take the harddrive out, and install ubuntu on a separate harddrive, although if you have your windows harddrive plugged in at the same time, the ubuntu installer should notice that, and set it up so grub can boot to ubuntu or windows [09:07] i like it because it's easy to get things done [09:07] How do I check to see how much video ram I have? [09:07] One would think [09:08] how do i restart my linux without loading up the gnome stuff [09:08] rabiddachshund: look on the box ur gfx card came in? [09:08] Maybe I'll just buy a computer with crapy vista on it and erase it lol [09:08] pythondasnake: ive only had it for a couple of days and know why more about it than i ever though and its actually really user friendly, i think [09:08] Chipsa: use gparted, create two partitions. the first needs to be windowses, formatted ntfs and < 100 gigs (depending on your windows install cd), the second is linux, three partitions, one ~4 gigs for swap (swapfs), one ~10 gigs for root (reisorfs) and the rest of the disk for /home (ext3). you then install windows on your windows partition (Don't let it format and make sure it recognises it as a partition), then install ubuntu. [09:08] pierce: I just did that recently. Make sure your bios has the port turned on too :X [09:08] wildnqik: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ? [09:08] simplechat; it's getting alot of stuff now.. [09:08] i'm pretty sure you need to do something with the bootloader tho [09:08] that software sucks so bad MS is giving it away [09:08] gfx card came with the computer 2 years ago. [09:08] ping..

[09:20] simplechat: the codecs you gave said "sudo: 1: command not found" [09:20] but i found the program [09:20] coffee: try putting it in a shell script, say foobar.sh, making that executable, and then go back into sessions and add 'sh foobar.sh' as the command.

[09:31] ActySofts: does System -> Preferences -> Sound not do it for you? [09:31] nope... [09:32] the alsa apps still use it [09:32] I reset my bios and forgot to disable the onboard card, and now I'm downloading an iso and can't restart... [09:32] then I'd say make a backup of alsa.conf and then start playing with that file. [09:32] i gotta reinstall my linux cause i got a bigger hard drive rofl [09:33] alsa.conf appears to define how to initilize the sound cards and so [09:33] unless I mount my drive [09:33] but how would i do that [09:33] ? [09:33] if i put a 2nd hard drive in [09:33] but its not linux format [09:33] you format...

This is what I was trying to do - http://imyousuf-tech.blogspot.com/2007/12/guarding-against-softwares-with-memory.html [09:55] Hey guys. [09:56] hey [09:57] I was wondering if any of you know how to search the previous commands in gnome-terminal [09:57] blankthemuffin_: the up key [09:57] like in the terminal UI kinda thing [09:57] no, search not up [09:57] I've seen a friend do it, but I can't figure out how the hell to do it. [09:58] blankthemuffin_: r [09:58] imyousuf, You could also use alt+sysrq+k as a retro-active solution, or set quotas for your user, or a separate user you would run the JVM as, so it would not be possible for it to use a disruptive amount of RAM [09:58] yay thanks tarheelcoxn [09:58] blankthemuffin_: no problem [09:58] blankthemuffin_: if you use bash, all your previous commands are stored in .bash_history [09:59] magnetron: he wanted reverse-i-search [09:59] yeah I knew about bash_history, just the man page and help don't show that key combo... === blankthemuffin_ is now known as blankthemuffin [09:59] tarheelcoxn: "reverse-i"? [10:00] Jordan_U I am a novice Ubuntu User :), have a lot to learn but will definitely look into the solution you said. ty [10:00] magnetron, press ctrl + r in your gnome-terminal [10:00] imyousuf, Also, and I don't use IDE's much myself so I may be missing something, but what's wrong with eclipse? [10:01] It's pretty slow Jordan_U [10:01] Since it's java and all. [10:01] blankthemuffin, IntelliJ_IDEA is also a Java app [10:02] Never heard of that one Jordan_U [10:02] Our company uses P4 and Eclipse P4 support is a bit clumsy (or should I say I do not know the right way to use it with Eclipse) [10:02] and I am a NetBeans fan and the company uses IntelliJ so I thought of sticking to it also, Jordan_U [10:02] Personally I like Visual Studio. but that's probably habit more than everything [10:03] imyousuf, perforce? [10:03] After seeing Eclipse Europa I am starting to like Eclipse again [10:03] Jordan_U yes Perforce [10:03] imyousuf, I feel sorry for you :) [10:03] Thanks Jordan_U :-D [10:04] Jordan_U: the funny part is NetBeans Maven support is not good enough yet (actually a single problem) otherwise I could have simply used NetBeans 6 [10:04] imyousuf, Have you seen Linus' rant at Google basically calling the Google employees idiots because git > * ? [10:05] Jordan_U no, can you please give me the URL [10:05] imyousuf, He's pompus... but he's also right :) [10:05] imyousuf, Sure [10:05] just saw that video yesterday :) [10:05] Jordan_U, imyousuf: we are already discussing that in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:06] magnetron joining it :) [10:06] anyone know a good place to download fonts? [10:06] nivis: the majority of available fonts are in the ubuntu repo's [10:07] i'm looking for the fonts in this post: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=1 [10:07] dafont.com [10:07] nivis: mail the author of that theme [10:07] i'm impatient [10:07] nivis: thats your issue [10:08] when I use apt-get to install something, how do I make it install to my menu? [10:08] indeed it is [10:08] #ubuntu-ru [10:08] Joshooa: it depends if that application has a menu link configured in the package [10:08] Joshooa: eg: if you install x-chat you'll fint it has a menu item configured on install, if you install say BitchX you'll find it doesn't [10:08] ikonia: Well when I did Add/Remove to install Amarok before, it was there, I've done apt-get in the terminal before and it wasn't [10:09] Joshooa: that shouldn't make a difference, its the same package it downloads [10:09] Joshooa: are you sure the location of the icon/launcher has not changed [10:09] ikonia: I'll try again and see what happens. I have AVN now and no gnome panels, and I want to make sure it's in my menu [10:09] Joshooa: avn ? [10:09] ikonia: Not that I know of, it's from a previous install, this is a new one, maybe I'm mistaken. I just didn't want to install then not have my shortcut in my menu [10:09] Avant Window Navigator [10:10] Joshooa: be aware that most of the ubuntu packages are built against gnome, kde and xfce only [10:10] Hi. I have a problem with configurering raid when trying to install using the alternative cd. The problem is that I create 4 partitions as type physical raid partition, and then choose raid configuration. I then cannot create any raid devices because somehow the installer already put all the 4 partitions in the same md device(and I would like 2 raid devices with 2 partitions in each raiddevice). Anyone know how to work around this? [10:11] need help with StreamTuber - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3936993#post3936993c [10:11] ikonia: What do you mean? Be aware of what? [10:11] Alfafa: delete your raid config and start again, pay attention to the raid types your configuring, this is just a user configuration error [10:11] someone answered but dont understand what he means [10:11] Joshooa: that the package are built against those three desktops so the links or "icons" may only work in them [10:12] ikonia: Oh okay, well I know I've installed it and gotten it in the menu before, and did it another time and it wasn't, and it was freaking annoying [10:12] mozart: why not reply to him then saying "can you explain a bit better, I'm not sure what you mean" [10:12] i did [10:12] I have tried deleting the raid configuration. Like wiping out the disks with dd [10:12] mozart: sit back and wait then [10:12] waiting 5 hours now [10:12] ok [10:12] Alfafa: you didn't need to go that far [10:12] sorry i am misising my radio [10:14] I am pretty sure it not a user error. Did the same setup with fedora - just to try (but like ubuntu much better) - I also have tried using the ubuntu installer on the dik configured by fedora. It then just put them in the same md device again. And I cannot delete it, because it says it is in use :-) [10:15] ubuntuforums rocks! just found another solution and got a problem fixed! [10:15] It seems. It working for a lot of people. I have read the howtos about how it should be working, but doesn't work with my diskcontroller or whatever [10:16] Alfafa it does, you're configuring it wrong [10:16] Alfafa: chose manual setup and maunally configure the raid meta devices [10:17] I have tried that. Creating the partitons as physical raid devices. Then configure mirror. It does what I hae written on my hardware [10:17] good morning [10:17] and also for hardy heron alpha 1 [10:18] Alfafa: I am confident this is user error. [10:18] Alfafa: as a test you could always just install onto a standard partition and use mdadm to build your own array and verify you can actually get the configuration you want out of your hardware [10:18] !ping [10:18] pong [10:18] white_eagle: what ? [10:19] ok. could be...but I don't believe there are that many possibilities to do anything wrong. [10:19] Alfafa: there are MANY possabilities to build an array wrong [10:19] yes. that I can do. I have tried that before. [10:20] But I think there is a bug in the installer anyway.

[10:48] he said dbuc-glib gobject gmodule xml parser etc are required [10:48] dinesh86: yes, the dependancy means that package NEED it to run so it will have to get it [10:48] Joshooa: etc etc. [10:49] So I took that as when he went to install bluez, it said dbuc-glib gobject gmodule xml parser etc are required [10:49] Joshooa: later version of ubuntu include different packages as default and in some cases require a diffent method to function [10:49] Yeah, hence, maybe it is cause he's using drapper [10:49] can i download ubuntu 7.10 from any site where the download rate is good ? [10:49] or she [10:49] f*ck I <3 webmin [10:49] dinesh86: the fastest is to download it with bittorrent [10:50] magnetron: *normally [10:50] can u give me the link ?

I want it to [11:29] here's the mobo specs http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=330158&view=detailed#ProductTabs [11:29] does the keyring encrypt that based off of something else?

[12:40] lost it lol [12:40] bb882: or burn a disk...:) [12:40] only got dvd-r :) [12:40] so put it on that? [12:41] bb882, Yeah you can use Ethernet if you have too [12:41] bb882: i suppose. it's a waste of a disk, but that'll work. you need to get the driver over [12:41] ok how can i use ethernet then? [12:41] blankthemuffin: ...if it's a crossover cable :) [12:41] i'll try both :) [12:41] nah, you don't need a crossover cable :S [12:41] ive installed ubuntu in a LVM partition. before rebooting my system ive chrooted to the root partition and installed lvm2, do i have to add dm-mod to /etc/modules too? [12:41] bb882: or you have a spare switch [12:41] how do i make some program always open on the second workspace? [12:41] I've never ever used a crossover cable in my life [12:42] and I have two pc's connected directly with a patch cable right now [12:42] no idea [12:42] blankthemuffin: then youve never come across stupid NICs ;) [12:42] kritzstapf, :) [12:42] blankthemuffin: if they're directly connected, then you have at least one card with auto-mdix [12:42] can anyone direct me on how i can enable dvd and vcd playback??? [12:42] Yeah I think the one in my PC is pretty good [12:42] WHY the F*CK is my mac address different. like it's making a bridged connection or something [12:43] the ethernet cable is connected and found in both vista and ubuntu [12:43] abhi: install vlc and libdvdcss [12:43] blankthemuffin: auto-mdix isn't common on nics, normally you require a crossover cable [12:43] brobostigon: how? [12:43] kitofhawaii, ok, I've just never experienced that. [12:43] sudo apt-get install vlc libdvdcss [12:43] odd...when did they start putting auto-mdix in? [12:44] anyone know sendmail [12:44] I dunno, but my N-Force 4 chipset must have it [12:44] brobostigon: i already tried vlc it didn't allow me to playback vcds. i hear mplayer works well. but what all codecs in mplayer am i looking for? [12:44] and my old PC would have had it too [12:44] you got them connected bb882 ? [12:44] brobostigon: libdvdcss has no installation candidate [12:44] i have never used anything but vlc to play such things so i dont know. [12:45] it shows limited conenctivty on windows [12:45] and ubuntu says connected [12:45] search for it in synaptic [12:45] mmm, you will have to set up ip's for them both [12:45] you have any idea what I'm talking about bb882 ? [12:45] sorta, i''ll stick to the dvd lol [12:45] because if you don't it's probably a darn sight easier to put it on the dvd :P [12:45] /etc/network/interfages is the configuration file for the network right? [12:45] blankthemuffin: :) [12:46] yeah jouke_ [12:46] how llong do formats take? ... [12:46] only, interfaces [12:46] blankthemuffin: is it the only one? [12:46] blankthemuffin: actually...nforce i guess it'd make sense they'd include auto-mdix. i guess they like them bells and whistles [12:46] because it doesn't load on startup [12:46] yeah kitofhawaii, Dual gigabit NIC's :D [12:47] bb882: i'm not sure...this is why i always keep around a usb drive :) [12:47] yeah jouke_, pastebin yours. [12:47] or maybe some other programm changes some things later on, but I really can't figure out why it isn't fcking loading /etc/network/interface on startup [12:47] now it says unable to complete format, ffs :( [12:47] blankthemuffin: just normal, only added hwaddress ether ma:ca:dr:es:s [12:47] blankthemuffin: dual gigabit nic's...you could do a port trunk on that :) [12:47] i dunno where mine is, lost it somewhere === Ranting_ is now known as RantingHuman [12:48] bb882: it's ok...but i mean it's going to take a fair amount of steps to do it over the ethernet cable [12:48] does it work when you run /etc/init.d/networking restart ??/ [12:48] blankthemuffin: no [12:48] ifdown eth0 isn't working aswell [12:48] pastebin it Jou [12:49] altough it's configured and it's in ifconfig :/ [12:49] anyone know in Open Office how I make a single page in landscape mode (lying on it's side)? [12:49] Hey guys, anyone wanna tell me the difference between the many different ways to have an encrypted file system and which one of those options is the best? [12:49] bb882: you don't have a long enough cable to go from your ubuntu to your router by any chance? [12:49] jouke_, pastebin it so we can check [12:49] livingtarget: format -> page [12:50] heh, kitofhawaii <3 my 30M cable :D [12:50] ah ok :) [12:50] hello. Anyone know of a utility to interactively tune X? Stretch screen etc? I've used it before - can't remember the name. Thanks. [12:50] blankthemuffin: :) i <3 my wireless repeaters :-D [12:50] can someone help me, i cant seem to ping my windows pc on the network [12:51] kitofhawaii: can I do just a single page not the whole document? [12:51] kitofhawaii, I have a wifi network too, but it's too slow. :P [12:51] draken, how are they set up? [12:51] I know there is LUKS, Loopback, EncFS, ecryptfs, and TrueCrypt, but which one is best? [12:51] was working the other day [12:51] Hi. suspend to disk doesn't work for me. I've read that I should add lines like "resume=/dev/sd3" to grub, but I dont know where to add them [12:51] its because i got two network cards [12:51] hi [12:51] draken, are they both connected to a router [12:51] hi im korean [12:52] or what? [12:52] kitofhawaii [12:52] i have to type this to install something.... cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE , now , am i supposed to change RELEASE to something like kubuntu? [12:52] got the files on my ubuntu, now what? [12:52] exit [12:52] ah never mind openoffice help to the rescue [12:52] blankthemuffin: http://pastebin.com/d6bb0c003 [12:52] i tried installing the latest ati drivers using this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide and i got the older driver 8.37.6 seen here http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3306/screenshotyp1.png [12:53] Q: How can I have a bash script to run a program in the background ever 5 min, kinda like a loop, and to run that program with a unique parameter each time. I want to download a stream to a unique filename, then pass that filename to another program, then repeat every 5 min. [12:53] Ideas? [12:53] mrynit: i just installed ati drivers for the first time tonight [12:53] And, I'd perfer *not* to use cron [12:53] kitofhawaii: Got the file you sent me on my other computer. Now what? [12:53] self: look at... nw [12:53] nm [12:53] why not use cron? [12:53] I want to make it into a package I can have other people use as well [12:53] BB88: alt-f2 then type "gksu ndisgtk" [12:54] ./begin [12:54] is easier than alot of cron stuff :( [12:54] whoops, I just removed myself from all the groups :/ [12:54] nothing happens [12:54] jouke_, do you really have that many network connections!? [12:54] how can I add myself back in? sudo doesn't seem to be working anymore... [12:55] Perhaps cron is the only solution [12:55] blankthemuffin: not atm [12:55] but that shouldn't me the problem [12:55] oakxx, orly hows it working for you? try running amdcccle [12:55] its workign grreat [12:55] i used envy to install it [12:55] My goal here is to rip air traffic control radio to 15min MP3 files, and then host them as a archive. Ideally I'd also use speech recognition at some point [12:55] i love envy [12:55] LOVE IT [12:55] it works in debian too [12:55] oh so nice. [12:55] oakxx: is turning green for envy [12:56] jouke_, no it shouldn't but I was like guh!? [12:56] livingtarget: you'll have to do that under format -> paragrap -> text flow -> with page style, and then use page breaks to control portrait/landscape [12:56] will I have to boot into recovery mode to fix my groups? [12:56] toastja1: user groups? [12:57] toastja1: sudo su root [12:57] BB88: after you have that up...click install new driver, and find the driver you're adding, and select the 'inf' file [12:57] oakxx, im using ubuntu 7.10. i havent tested the driver yet, i just saw it was an older version and wasnt sure if it would work [12:57] blankthemuffin: the strange thing is that when reboot the server it'l get a mac adress like C6:.... [12:57] kitofhawaii nothing pops up [12:57] so it looks like some kind of bridge [12:57] sudo doesn't work, becuase I broke my groups :/ [12:57] oakxx, what driver version, card and distro are you using [12:57] sudo is /etc/sudoers [12:57] After Alt+F2 the box pops up, i type it in, nothing [12:57] that should be based on username, not groups [12:57] BB88: try from command line..."gksu ndisgtk" [12:57] If you did break that [12:57] it's recovery mode and the naughty chairr for you [12:58] well, I get nothing back from sudo now [12:58] Gnome menu System > Administration > System Log > File > Open > (Open log) > /var/log/kern.log > 'Open' rejects: "/var/log/kern.log is no log file" and does not open although Gutsy opens it on another computer.

[12:58] can anyone u guys help me with it?!!.. that would be a great help..;) [12:58] nothing [12:58] manuthoma1: Don't ask to ask, just ask; and be patient for a response :) [12:58] unless I mistype the password, there's no output at all. and the command doesn't run [12:58] manuthoma1: What kind of problems? [12:59] toastja1: Weird [12:59] blankthemuffin: probably something to do with removed things like networkmanager [12:59] jouke_, sorry to leave, but I'm going to bed now :P have you read the interfaces man page, might be a good place to find those "gotchas" [12:59] You've bondogaled it royaly [12:59] hum i found devil's pie, seems the app i need [12:59] blankthemuffin: tried them all [12:59] BB88: when you installed ndiswrapper on your ubuntu computer, did you select ndisgtk? [12:59] read them all [12:59] manuthoma1: "facing some issues" is no precise technical description. [12:59] totally lost [12:59] that is not even on the list when I searched through the packet manager [13:00] lost is irrelevant, resistance is futile. [13:00] my TV tuner card is not confugued...i get this error msg when running tvtime: xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images. [13:00] BB88: huh...ok well, in terminal... cd into the folder you saved the driver in, you need to cd in the one with the inf file [13:00] driver issue I'd bet :) [13:01] You'll no doubt need to compile a kernel module [13:01] cd into the ubuntu folder or where the inf is [13:01] yea.. even i feel so... so how should i go abt it!!!? [13:01] BB88: wherever you saved that driver [13:01] Did you google search "site:ubuntuforums.org " [13:01] it's on the desktop [13:01] manuthoma1: I doubt you're the first person to use this card on Ubuntu [13:01] hello [13:01] BB88: ok then cd into the Desktop and into the folder...i don't know what you named it [13:02] i tried a lot of forum materials... [13:02] BB88: cd ~/Desktop/ [13:02] I don't use a tv tuner, so, I'm not much help for finding the modules [13:02] manuthoma1: Does the manufacture provide a linux "driver"? [13:02] haha.. most probably.. i couldn't find anyone reporting the same chipset prob as of now.. ;) [13:02] how do I boot into recovery mode?

[13:26] toastja1: no I know, google it [13:26] ok [13:27] how come gnome wont let me get rid of the games? [13:27] WildnQIk: they are installed via the ubuntu-desktop meta package I think [13:27] Slart: thanks... although gwen still doesn't recognize it... you'd really have to navigate to the dir... [13:27] WildnQIk: but don't quote me on that [13:27] sudo apt-get remove game-name [13:28] is there a way to get rid of all the games? i try going to the add / remove programs area and yeah it doesnt like it cause it says it needs it or somethting like that [13:28] Odd-rationale, I need *both* ugly and bad? I have ugly installed. [13:28] no there is no way [13:28] gvsa123: oh well.. I guess we'll have to blame whoever wrote gwenrename then.. =) [13:28] Zta: yes both, make sure you have multiverse, too [13:29] Slart: lol... it's not like you rename multiple files everytime though... so it's cool.. :) [13:31] hi I have an odd problem: My harddrive gives me usb error -71 on connect in dmesg. I tried several things and found out that when I "rmmod ehci_hcd" it works. Then only ohci_hcd is and my drive is detected and is just working fine. I searched everywhere and really have no clue what is wrong with ehci_hcd and why it does work with ochi_hcd and not with it [13:31] is there any way to connect my phone to the pc? (Nec 411i). in windows you need some nec software to do it, any equivilant program in linux? [13:31] Odd-rationale, both bad and ugly are installed. I have multiverse. Still SJ doesn't let me choose MP3 for output format. [13:32] Hi i messed up my X how to I restart the configuration [13:32] tuxmaster: delete xorg.conf [13:32] sharpie: then what [13:32] Odd-rationale, ah... "streamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse" [13:32] tuxmaster: that's it [13:32] Zta: exactly! [13:32] Zta: Ugly too. [13:32] sharpie: are you sure [13:32] that just does not sound right [13:32] tuxmaster: 100% [13:32] tuxmaster: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" I think [13:32] tuxmaster: sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg [13:33] tuxmaster: i did it once when i messed up mine [13:33] Odd-rationale, ubuntu-restricted-extras is the meta package I need. [13:33] tuxmaster: it'll just start off with default settings [13:33] Zta: Yes. [13:33] tuxmaster: however, the file will not be re-created [13:33] Odd-rationale, it turns my cute Ubuntu into a dirty wh0re. [13:33] tuxmaster: AND you will lose your gfx drivers [13:33] Zta: sorry [13:33] tuxmaster: but reinstalling takes a minute [13:33] sharpie: what are you talking about [13:33] Odd-rationale, it's okay. That's how I like it. [13:33] tuxmaster: please ignore sharpie [13:33] how do i just start the config program [13:33] ikonia: deleting xorg.conf [13:33] Anything to get my mp3s [13:34] tuxmaster: all you need is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [13:34] sharpie: he doesn't need to delete or re-install [13:34] ikonia: deleting it is just as good \= [13:34] sharpie: no its not [13:34] sharpie: as nothing is configured [13:34] Is there any way for me to make KDE apps running under gnome 'smaller' visually? I love a few of the KDE apps but they're so big and their text is so large I would get much more usability out of some of them if i could get more data in certain list boxes and such in certain apps [13:34] ikonia: yes, so you reconfigure it [13:34] ikonia: takes 2 minutes through the config wizard [13:34] sharpie: you don't need to delete or re-install though [13:35] ikonia: if you have nvidia-glx-new, the driver's section in xorg.conf will be lost [13:35] ikonia: so you need to reinstall [13:35] sharpie: no you don't [13:35] Zta: Works now? [13:35] sharpie: it will get put back when you do dpkg-reconfigure [13:35] ikonia: ok, that's how i solved my problems anyway \= [13:35] Odd-rationale, yes. It's great. Thanks [13:35] Zta: good [13:35] ikonia: actually, not reinstall, just re-check it in the restricted drivers [13:36] ok I figured out how to set the GID bit on a dir, but not recursively on all dirs in a directory structure without setting it on the files too... isn't there some easy way to make the webroot dir editable by everybody in a group without all this permissions nonsense? [13:36] ikonia: as far as i recall [13:36] sharpie: you don't need to do anything other than "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [13:36] Hi... how can i assosiate .tmd files with a certain command and also set an appropriate icon for all .tmd files? [13:37] chazco: right click on the file, then goto properties and check out the open with tab for the associate part [13:37] That doesnt seem 100% reliable though... defiantly doesnt allow icons [13:38] For preference i'd like to be able to do it from a script so i can add it to my reinstall CD [13:38] chazco: well that's how you set up an association for gnome programs and the gnome-open command on a file type [13:39] i've installed xubuntu in a usb pendrive....i want to create a boot FLOPPY for booting the system in computer without usb-booting...how can i create this floppy?? [13:39] chazco: probably have to find the right gconf setting to do it in a script [13:39] hmm... sounds fun... somewhere to start though, thanks :) [13:40] this room is huge [13:40] Is there any way for me to make KDE apps running under gnome 'smaller' visually?

[13:45] bb882: that's the same driver as the kernel mode driver [13:46] bb882: you should be able to get that one to work then. [13:46] hopefully [13:46] what security should i use instead of wep then? [13:46] wpa2 [13:46] bb882: you can use wep, but try not using the ascii passphrase, and instead try using the hex key [13:47] ok [13:47] hello [13:47] wep is no good, use wpa2 [13:47] bb882: wpa is a bit harder to get working [13:47] hello [13:47] dwxreaper: you're welcome to help him get wpa working :) [13:47] well i know i can connect from the disk without encryption [13:47] i have a probably stupid question if anyone thinks they could help me [13:47] guys, how do i get my infrared to work on ubuntu? what do i need to install [13:48] is there a way to get kde 4 for gutsy ???

[15:16] np but in a busy channel... we really need to stay on topic... Ljl has an itchy trigger finger [15:16] well from my experience vista uses way more memory than ubuntu so if you have all the graphics set up right than it will be much more responsive [15:16] of course the only way to find out is install yourself [15:17] BB88, smooth generally depends on hardware, if you have awesome hardware then vista will be smooth, but it needs better hardware, linux/ubuntu works better with less requirements [15:17] I meant smooth as in graphics wise. [15:17] Does changing the visual effects do anything? [15:17] BB88: totally smoother than vista in that case [15:17] JensenDied: google up reconstructor [15:17] BB88: compiz wins vista graphics by miles [15:18] BB88, if you want nice graphics have a look on youtube for some nice videos of what you can do with compiz-fusion, which is installed with 7.10 (gutsy) [15:18] BB88, http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ImW0-MgR8I [15:19] JensenDied: there was another called nimblex but it didnt work on all systems.. it is web based, created an iso that you dl'd [15:19] BB88, a lot of the features that can be added are also a lot more functional than those in windows vista [15:19] LjL, no idea why it would do that? do i need to boost my permissions inside the group or something? [15:19] is adobe flash in synaptic package? [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, ill check those out. [15:20] BB88: flashplugin-nonfree if you mean the player, but type /topic [15:20] swisgard: it works fine for me. does "groups" list vboxusers?

[15:21] what lll [15:21] bazhang, what was that media center prog you mentioned earlier [15:21] BB88: I dont mean to interrupt.. but what you are asking is discussion and has nothing to do with ubuntu support...

[15:44] Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyways [15:44] Iggz, sorry I have no idea [15:44] I guess it's a MSI 6833 WLAN BT Combo [15:45] Verb3k. NP. Couldn't find a download for on the main webiste - which was odd. Might have an other look [15:45] *website [15:46] it's not in lspci, not in lsusb, it's nowhere to be found [15:46] LjL, it'll let me resize mozilla and stuff, just not the install program windows. but i have "start or install ubuntu" and "start ubuntu in safe graphics mode" for options of starting it [15:47] swisgard, both will unfortunately start at best in 1024x768, which is probably not enough to fit the installer... although 1024x768 should... [15:47] I heard it could be 'enabled' on dapper, by loading a module, but that doesn't work for me [15:47] should I post it on launchpad? [15:47] LjL, how come no one else has all these problems? :P [15:47] swisgard: how can you say? [15:49] Hello all, I have a quick general linux question [15:49] What is ubuntu exactly? [15:49] It uses gnome, x.org [15:49] and all kinds of programs [15:49] !enter | Anonymusius [15:49] Anonymusius: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:49] ok i turned on my desktop pc and get to the splash screen (sometimes further) and my pc just switches off. I was using my laptop as well at the time (what im using now) and switched it off to turn my attention to the desktop problem. i now switch the desktop on and it works fine. apart from the wired connection fails at obtaining ip address. i now turn my laptop on again and when it connects to the wireless internet, my desktop switches off! i tried [15:50] Ok, soory [15:50] Anonymusius, what do you mean what is it? its a linux distribution...it runs gnome by default, yes. [15:50] Anonymusius: ubuntu is the "package" Xorg/gnome/a.so comes in [15:50] hi. im trying to install msttcorefonts. the package installs and tries to download from sourceforge.net mirrors. however it keeps getting timed out and there is some error at the end of it. the irritating part is that msttcorefonts tries to download from sourceforge everytime i try to install anything via apt-get aptitude or synaptic. can anyone help me stop this? i tried "sudo apt-get clean" but that didnt work. i tried removing the package and that did === flukierdonut is now known as profanephobia [15:51] SoftVision: "Some error" would be the info that would help us help you [15:51] Where can I look for logs of my wireless network negociations? [15:52] Mavi: So gnome doesn't directly talk to xorg and the linux kernel? [15:52] My computer won't switch SSID's without rebooting... [15:52] hi...where can i find the sound file that plays when your login screen comes up? [15:52] How can I restart Wireless servicess completely without rebooting ? [15:52] SoftVision, Try removing the "set -e" from the configure script or just exit returning 0 and do nothing [15:52] is there a package in ubuntu that is already a ftp server ? [15:53] i get a dpkg error [15:53] Whitor, What "systems" do you mean exactly? [15:53] i tried dpkg --configure -a but that didnt work [15:53] !ftp | WildnQIk [15:53] WildnQIk, i gave you a list of several...? [15:53] WildnQIk: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [15:53] WildnQIk: you can search packages.ubuntu.com there is also a firefox add on to add search there from your browser [15:54] Jordan_U: I didn't type 'systems' ... ??? [15:54] is there a way to change the small sound that plays when your login screen shows up? [15:54] speedhunt3r: sysetm -> administration -> login window [15:54] Hello there, could anyone tell me how I can see an ssh mounted server through the file->open dialog of applications? I can see it through nautils file manager but not through the dialogs of some applications (eg. firefox) ? [15:54] ok i turned on my desktop pc and get to the splash screen (sometimes further) and my pc just switches off. I was using my laptop as well at the time (what im using now) and switched it off to turn my attention to the desktop problem. i now switch the desktop on and it works fine. apart from the wired connection fails at obtaining ip address. i now turn my laptop on again and when it connects to the wireless internet, my desktop switches off! i tried [15:55] Whitor, Sorry, services. I mean at what level? Do you want to restart network-manager? reload the kernel modules for your card? [15:55] rinaldi_: does space bar bring it back or does the system actually power down? [15:55] how do i install a .deb [15:55] !deb | WildnQIk [15:55] WildnQIk: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [15:55] it powers down [15:56] rinaldi_: that sounds like a physical issue. check your power cables, make sure you arn't drawing too much power. [15:56] WildnQIk: you should always use a package manager to install from the repos if you can though [15:56] Jordan_U: oh, I'm not sure... both maybe... I know that my card locks onto an SSID on reboot... but won't while the system is already up... so I'd like to restart that section of the OS... [15:56] wired network works fine [15:56] switches perfectly [15:56] Whitor, Are you using network-manager? [15:57] anyone got a netgear laptop card? is it meant for both lights to flash together, when connected? [15:57] Yes, I think so [15:57] Whitor, ( the little applet at the top right of the screen ) [15:57] . [15:57] yetr2: ok il see [15:57] Jordan_U: I'm using System -> Adminis -> Network [15:58] Administration... [15:58] SoftVision, Try dpkg -- configure -a again, I just installed the package and everything downloaded fine [15:58] What is the difference between 'gpart' and 'gparted'? What should I install to make partitions on my HD? [15:58] Whitor, Run "iwevent" in a terminal window and try connecting to a wireless network, see if there is any output [15:59] hi i have a wireless setting set to manual configuration i cannot see list of wireless networks in my pc [15:59] IanLiu, gparted [15:59] can any one help me please with the issue [15:59] Jordan_U: Thanks [15:59] Jordan_U: ok [16:00] Jordan_U: It just says waiting for wireless events from interfaces... [16:00] from terminal, what is the command to see the chmod properties of a file or folder? [16:00] Hi all. When I try to change a keyboard shortcut in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts to one that involves the Windows key (Super), pressing, e.g., Super+C just comes up as "Super L" in the accelerator box. It seems to not recognise the Super key as a modifier. [16:01] Whitor, What if you run "sudo iwconfig essid " where is something like eth1 or ath0 [16:02] hi guyz, i installed ubuntu and changed the default root password, but when i logout and try to login as root, it says that i am not alloud to login from this login screen...any ideas [16:02] !mount [16:02] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [16:02] B-rabbit, that's such a bad idea its untrue. [16:03] !fstab [16:03] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:03] B-rabbit, why on earth are you trying to log in as root? [16:03] yetr2: ok i pulled out the speakers (the thing i don't need) and it boots up fine. however, although nm-applet at the top says there is a connection, firefox doesn't have internet and it cant find my router ip... [16:03] hi i have a wireless setting set to manual configuration i cannot see list of wireless networks in my pc [16:03] istaanbul [16:03] can any one help me please with the issue [16:03] [16:04] how do i use this [16:04] Jordan_U: could be wlan0 ? [16:04] B-rabbit: if you really really want to log in as root you need to set the root password [16:04] H264_laptop, read what he said [16:04] teknician: what are you trying to accomplish? [16:04] Whitor, Yes [16:04] hi guys [16:04] whats the command to install a .deb [16:04] too many people [16:04] just trying to connect my machine to internet bazhang [16:04] !root | B-rabbit [16:04] B-rabbit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:04] rinaldi_: dunno [16:04] Were there any fixes in the kernel's built-in forcedeth driver between feisty and gutsy? [16:04] is there anything i can download to convert a .amr sound file to .wav ? [16:04] yetr2: i also tried booting vista but same problem ( im dualbooting) [16:04] teknician: open up the terminal and do a ifconfig [16:05] PriceChild: but there is no default root password? [16:05] is there any equivalent command as shift+pg up/down while using screen? [16:05] H264_laptop, read what he said... [16:05] rinaldi_: sounds like more physical issues.. is the router on the same power strip? [16:05] lol, I did [16:05] H264_laptop, yes i did that, i knew that ubuntu doesn't give a root password as default so i changed it, but i still cannot login [16:05] yetr2: yes should i move it? [16:05] punzada: press Ctrl+A [ then pg up/down [16:06] * YeTr2 uses a large cluster of PS3 to try and brute force the root password [16:06] hi all.. I have two external usb 2.0 HD drives, and both are connected to my computer by a usb 2.0 pcmcia card, but with one of the two drives it never get detected at all... is there anything I could do? [16:06] rinaldi_: I would suggest it. [16:06] B-rabbit: like PriceChild said, why do you want to log in as root? [16:06] Patchak: do other PCs see that drive? [16:06] H264_laptop, he said he set a root password himself [16:07] Is there a "best" way to install Ubuntu on a windows XP machine without wrecking the windows install, and to be able to access the windows filessystem from ubuntu as well? [16:07] how do i install a .deb [16:07] just installed ubuntu server, can't apt-get phpmyadmin [16:07] BladeMcCool: probably after the xp install--want a link? [16:07] !dualboot | blademccool [16:07] blademccool: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:07] BladeMcCool: the ubuntu installer should beable to resize an NTFS partition that was shutdown properly to make room for ubuntu [16:07] BladeMcCool: the best way is to always have a backup of important information [16:08] thanks for the links and info and tips :) [16:08] haha [16:08] WildnQIK: just double click on it or use dpkg -i pkgname from the command line [16:09] YeTr2, hummm I did not try onanother comp...but it seems to work when I plug it in a usb 1 port on the same comp [16:09] H264_laptop, because i want to install flash for firefox, if i install it as root then, i could use it from my other accounts [16:09] I have a linux server in my room. From my laptop, how can I mount a directory from the server as a specific user on the server? My local account has a different UID than my account on the server. [16:09] Patchak: could the port on the pccard be bad then? [16:09] Hi all. When I try to change a keyboard shortcut in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts to one that involves the Windows key (Super), pressing, e.g., Super+C just comes up as "Super L" in the accelerator box. It seems to not recognise the Super key as a modifier. [16:10] where do I report broken packages? [16:12] REyM: why do you need to report a broken package? Sometimes a package needs to be reinstalled because it breaks its self. Have you tried reinstalling it? [16:12] H264_laptop: I mean broken in the apt sort of way. IE, it has unmet dependancies [16:13] hmm [16:13] I have a linux server in my room. From my laptop, how can I mount a directory from the server as a specific user on the server? My local account has a different UID than my account on the server. [16:13] thanks bazhang i got it connected ;) [16:14] I've got a Printer connected to a Windows. Is it possible to access it trougth Ubuntu?

I try to hit F1-7 to change terminal but it doesn't work. Any thoughts?

[16:51] pavs yes, echo $0 :) [16:52] can i just download and install the .deb package for Openoffice 2.3.1 without causing problems in gutsy? [16:52] ubuntulover12345, you might want to check out the various 'fuse' tools. they proberly got somthing that can backup/sync every few min. Or just rsync and a cron job every 5 min. Depending on how much/otedn the changes happen, There may be better ways to do it. [16:52] ubuntulover12345 thanks [16:52] REyM: or whatever the package is that it's complaining about [16:53] ubuntulover12345, You are sure if you mount the ntfs filesystem that nfs cant share it?

[16:56] type sudo b4 you command in console [16:56] sudo -i gives root access [16:56] k i did that [16:56] ubuntulover12345, may want to check out the various nfs docs - I cant recall it being a limit.. but i cant recall doign it either. its possible theres some workaround/option . [16:56] let me run to other comp and tell you what it said when i did the apt-get etc [16:57] but dont play with root [16:57] can anyone install scsh from repo? its giving me an error [16:57] couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop [16:57] wems``, my reply to you earlier was that your source.list was broken and needs to be fixed [16:58] hello [16:58] !easysource | wems`` [16:58] wems``: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [16:58] k [16:58] well how do i just like reformat my drive? [16:58] so i can just install the other version of ubuntu ;) [16:58] hi all [16:58] ubuntulover12345, a quick google is telling me that one can not export vfat/ntfs filesystems. :( I wonder if you could use some of the FUSE tools to get around it.

[16:59] michaelpo: hi [16:59] I get msgs like "please check that your locale name is correct" about locale how to get rid of these msgs ? [17:00] Prez_, I don't know, I am not sure why that "feature" exists to begin with, what kind of bloat that must have added to the code I can only imagine [17:00] is ubuntu able to write on ntfs file systems?

[17:01] preaction, ok so I guess this is installed int he basic ubuntuinstall since I can write files now [17:01] debaser: Technicaly yes. Realistically you may have issues with drivers and such. Especially if it is a different processor type. [17:02] TheNo1Yeti, ok, that's what I imagined but I guess I can work around some of those issues [17:02] Hey, does anyone know why compizconfig-settings-manager isn't backported, when the other compiz-stuff is?

[17:04] REyM: sorry I can't really offer any more help other than if something is wrong with a package you can report it on launchpad.net however I would post your problem on ubuntuforums.org first [17:04] im guessing that means its impossible yeti? [17:04] No, it's just there is no information in the bot. Basically you have two options. fdisk or makefs [17:04] wems``: for a graphical tool look at gparted i suppose. you can also format a partition with a mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 or whatever format you want but be SURE you tell it the correct partition [17:05] Dr._willis oh, also, I don't think these two problems are related. when I try to mount the nfs on the remote machine, it says "failed, reason given by server: Permission denied." my /etc/exports line is "/windows 192.168.1.100(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" (ip address is example). daemon has since been restarted, and I am loged into remote machine as root via ssh.

[17:06] you guys were over thinking it ;p [17:06] hey [17:06] Minifig: did you overwrite GRUB or something? [17:06] It's sad it took 3 of us to get a bot to give up the info [17:06] No. [17:06] Can I have some assistance installing Folding@Home (the Linux edition)? [17:06] REyM: is seems like it is a problem not really related to the package its self, more like apt can't figure something out [17:06] does anyone know what the "attempted to kill the idle task" kernel panic means? I've googled around but found anything [17:06] hey i need help configuring my atheri wireless on gutsy :(( [17:06] i want to learn man, i remember there is a man script that teaches people [17:06] i found it in fedora once [17:06] Minifig what's wrong? [17:06] debaser: something is very wrong :P === flash is now known as Flash [17:06] can someone help me figure out what it is so i can download it [17:06] Chousuke but what [17:06] Here is what happened. I wanted to install WIndows and since I cannot install XP on a second drive with LInux installed, I swapped drives and put 20GB as master not slave. [17:07] Minifig: was the 160GB drive originally a master? [17:07] ciao [17:07] Flash, what's your problem exactly? [17:07] !list [17:07] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:07] Minifig: so you just need to reinstall grub to the new primary partitions mbr and overwrite the windows mbr [17:07] How do I get Linux to boot on the second hard drive? [17:07] Minifig: you might've confused grub. [17:07] er primary hd's mbr i mean [17:08] I used SuperGrub CD to show Grub and Linux but when I select Linux I get file not found. [17:08] debaser: my system doesn`t see the wireless card [17:08] The file, FAH504-Linux.exe, is on my desktop. How do I install it? [17:08] Also it only shows Linux and not Windows and Linux. [17:08] Flash: do lspci in terminal [17:08] !list [17:08] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:08] Flash, ifconfig is not showing any information about it? [17:08] I know it is an .exe file but it is intended for Linux. [17:08] debaser: no [17:08] I am new to Ubuntu. [17:08] Minifig: grub might still think that Linux is on the master drive. [17:09] debaser you using fedora ? [17:09] tarjei_: wine [file] or right-click and open with: wine [17:09] Is it possible to have two languages dictionary? For instance, in Pidgin, I usually type in English or in Portuguese... Is it possible to easily switch between languages? [17:09] Minifig: oh sounds like hda1 is no longer hda1 but hdb1 or whatever [17:09] Minifig: Unfortunately I don't know enough about grub to help you fix this. [17:09] crush_groove: no, why? [17:09] Flash: any dmesg messages? [17:09] Minifig by moving the drive, Grub can't find /boot anymore. Use a live CD to chroot to the linux machine and update-grub and grub-install [17:09] ah .. I found a bunch of stuff on your issue ...seems to be all fedora related [17:09] irc://irc.abjects.net/rezoproject [17:09] ubuntulover12345, with ntfs-3g - one us supposed to be able to use it as a nfs export --> Yes. But to do so, you need to read the FUSE README.NFS file and use the FUSE kernel module from the FUSE package because the mainstream kernels don't support NFS exporting of FUSE file systems. [17:09] debaser: sorry? i don`t understand [17:10] i've got a problem with my Logitech MX1000, and I've found here: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3939331&posted=1#post3939331 that i'm not alone with this issue. Where do I report a bug like this? [17:10] I am running Live CD Ubuntu now. [17:10] ubuntulover12345, looke like it may be a feature thats not in the default ubuntu kernel/fuse modules. [17:10] debaser: I don't have that option. [17:10] Flash: try lsmod on a console and see if the correct module is loaded [17:10] Why should I open it with Wine since it is intended for Linux? [17:10] Does it matter what version of Linux is on the second drive? [17:10] Minifig: boot livecd and mount the ubuntu partition then edit boot/grub/menu.lst and change hda1 to hdb1 or whatnot then save then sudo grub then root (hd1,1) then setup (hd0) hd0 is hda hdb is hd1 hdc would be hd2 [17:10] tarjei_: ur using gnome [17:10] ? [17:10] Yes. [17:10] I am running Live CD right now. [17:11] Dr._willis so need to install ntfs-3g package? [17:11] Hey, does anyone know why compizconfig-settings-manager isn't backported, when the other compiz-stuff is? [17:11] tarjei_: because linux can't handle windows executables directly, it must use WINE. If you are using gnome there should be an option "open with" or "open", another menu and then open with. [17:11] debaser: i don`t know what module i should look for [17:12] Minifig: basically root says 'here is my install folder' and setup says write grub to this hd0 without a partition will be mbr [17:12] !man mkfs [17:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about man mkfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:12] debaser: It is NOT a Windows file. It specifically says it is the Linux edition. [17:12] ubuntulover12345, well if you are using ntfs id HOPE you are usiong ntfs-3g :) [17:12] anyone know 'things' about creating a livecd/installer from a debootstrap'ed system(or similar with changes made[chrooted to configure etc])? [17:12] Question: is there any way to use my camera mobile as a webcam in linux? my mobile is k510 sonyericsson! [17:12] tarjei_: but if you're using ubuntu it should be configured with binary misc support and a double click should work [17:12] I have terminal opened. [17:12] ubuntulover12345, actually its in the default gutsy installs i thought. if you are not using ntfs-3g then that may be all you need to do. [17:12] tarjei_: pls try file in the console [17:12] Dr._willis yeah, it is there already... [17:12] Flash: something like atheros or ath, I don't remember, let me find it [17:13] <^punisher> sup [17:13] hello ppl i have a clasus dynamic sr-512 and i don't have sound on the last version of ubuntu [17:13] how can i boot from my cd drive?, been trying to but the best i can do is an OS choices menu :/ [17:13] any idea? [17:13] <^punisher> out of interest [17:13] tarjei_: people shouldnt be naming their binaries .exe its just confusing whatever app this is [17:13] Dr._willis but is the "permission denied" thing related?

[17:14] then after like 2 minutes it will start to boot up my ubuntu server edition [17:14] Flash: search madwifi [17:14] does that mean something is wrong with my mobo? [17:14] guys [17:14] ubuntulover12345, and it does seem to need to use FUSE to do this. :0 [17:14] how do I login as root in terminal?

[17:15] I asked in a thread for Folding@Home and they said the file name didn't matter if it was .exe or not, as long as the file content is made for Linux. [17:16] Minifig: 'file filename.exe' file is a command that tells you details about whatever filename you pass it [17:16] Minifig: wait wrong problem [17:16] sorry [17:16] wems'': the access key changes from "mobo" to "mobo", but when its starting u should try F8 or DEL key [17:16] wems``: depends on the brand of the motherboard... usually you press DEL right at the start.. might be holding F1 down or something too.. as I said.. it depends on the brand.. DEL is the most common afaik [17:16] Thats okay pike. [17:16] i want a good gcc tutorial, for learning abt configuring makin installing etc [17:16] I am getting confused here with all the other stuff going on. [17:16] wems'': also there are certain mobos which need a jumper change to acces bios config, I'm sure its not your case [17:16] sudo fdisk -l to see the partitions which one is ext3? [17:16] Minifig: ^ [17:16] brb [17:17] well when i do f8 and del and all of that. it does nothing [17:17] tarjei_: it doesn't, but you need to know which file type it is, again file should give you info. Unix simply ignores files extensions, they're only there so that WE don't get lost [17:17] ppl i don't have sound on my ubuntu... anyone can help me? [17:17] i guess i could try holding f1 but i built this comp a long time ago and dont remember ever having to do that [17:17] wems'': try reading your mobo user guide [17:18] ya thats long lost and gone [17:18] I was looking around the /etc directory and I found that there are a lot of users in the /etc/passwd file and I was wondering how can I find out if I need those users ir not.

Anyone familiar with that? [17:18] well mabe im wrong, but it doesnt seem to work the same as it use to [17:18] no text [17:18] its just a "_" [17:18] in the top left of the screen [17:18] wems'': yes, but intel mobos usually doesn't have any text [17:19] debaser: Ok I will try again in the terminal. I go to the desktop and I tell it to change the name. I paste that in the terminal and I add .exe to what I pasted. Correct? [17:19] i want to know abt configuring making n installing n gcc too pls help me [17:19] wems``: before that.. at the logo-thingy [17:19] doesnt blink or anything, i cant type just sits at a blank screen with _ [17:19] Did you see that pike? [17:19] i get the intel pentium 4 powered or soemthing logo at the very beginning but thats just the processors image i think?

[17:21] Minifig: yes once [17:21] tarjei_; or try autocompleting with key on the console [17:21] tanliu: sudo chmod -R [17:21] guys [17:21] how can I acces /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:21] Anonymusius: thanks [17:21] Zergiu: with your favorite text editor [17:21] Zergiu: mount the /boot partition [17:21] permision denied with sudo -s -H [17:21] IanLiu: chmod -R [17:22] Minifig: sudo mkdir /media/ub; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ub; gksu gedit /media/ub/boot/grub/menu.lst [17:22] Zergiu: check out the sudo config [17:22] Slart: Thanks =) [17:22] Flash: anything happened?

[17:22] Zergiu: visudo [17:22] Minifig: im doing this the hard way but im not familiar with the automatic stuff in grub-install [17:23] debaser visudo /boot/grub/menu.lst? [17:23] Zergiu: you should export the environment variable $EDITOR to something like nano [17:23] Zergiu no, just visudo [17:23] debaser: Can I just rename it to something so that I can double click it? [17:23] Slart: I dunno how to do this.. would be 'sudo chmod -R 777'? [17:23] Zergiu: but first in the console do export EDITOR="nano" [17:23] dude that chineese for me , I'm new to this [17:23] well i got it to work i was holding down f1 then finally saw a different screen [17:23] Zergiu oh sorry [17:23] so [17:23] Zergiu: I was confused [17:23] a [17:23] i got to the bios and changed around boot proiority [17:24] hrm, the alternate installer hangs at 6% of "Select and install software" and tells me to "Please wait..."

[17:24] modify [17:24] Slart: oh, I supposed it applied on the current directory... [17:24] wems'': that's weird [17:24] I don't see any eall [17:24] hrehf: is it working? hard drive making noise? [17:24] hrehf: select the option to verify installcd to make sure its ok if there is a problem reburn at slowest speed [17:25] Zergiu: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:25] Zergiu: then press F2, and type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [17:25] pike_ im doing a from hd install (using the netboot) [17:25] ah [17:25] Zergiu: in command line use the command provided by jeff... [17:25] ok [17:25] ty [17:25] I see. it was an error. all sda1 to sdb1 [17:25] Slart: thanks again [17:25] oh well the comp is pretty shitty, only has 256mb of ram [17:26] Do I keep HD0,0 as hd0,0? [17:26] thought it had more, but w/e [17:26] wems'':exactly when does it get stuck? after grub? [17:26] it wasnt "stuck" [17:26] it wa just loading [17:26] Minifig: now sudo grub then in grub shell type root (hd1,1) then setup (hd0) hd0 is hda hdb is hd1 hdc would be hd2 [17:26] wems'': HEY! mine as 256mb! [17:26] wems'': after grub? === tushar is now known as tushyd [17:26] and i thought it was taking a while, came in other room where my laptop is (here) and then went back and it was doing something else so [17:26] wems``: 256 mb is alright.. you just have to avoid the worst bling bling.. no spinning cubes and windows burning up and you'll be fine =) [17:27] pike_ any other idea? [17:27] k ;) [17:27] wems'': well that's an ubuntu problem [17:27] hello? [17:27] hrehf: sorry no. not much exp with that [17:28] wems'': you could tryfiguring out what is, then trying to solve it, etc, or just reinstall ubuntu from scratch [17:28] ah, lol, it's just been doing something that was taking 10mins + [17:28] thanks anyways ;) [17:28] wems``: ive run beryl on an old celeron lappy and it was fine. im not too into the effects but it should be ok [17:28] with intel onboard [17:28] tarjei_: so were you able to execute the program? [17:29] pike: setup (hd0) [17:29] Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [17:29] debaser: I tried to just drag the file to the terminal [17:29] ya thats what i was doing, i had ubuntu server installed on there, and i was like [17:29] tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ '/home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux' [17:29] bash: /home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux: Permission denied [17:29] tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ [17:29] uhh what is this (never used linux ever before, and i didnt like the non graphical interface [17:29] The FaQ tells me this: [17:29] grub> root (hd1,1) [17:29] grub> setup (hd0) [17:29] Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [17:29] so i tried installing a new version of ubuntu the desktop 7.1 version [17:30] To launch: To use this program, make sure that you can execute it (chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe) and then run it ./FAH5-Linux.exe [17:30] tarjei_: you must know what file type is [17:30] tarjei_: that's right [17:30] Be right back. I need to help the Mrs. [17:30] What exactly should my command be then? [17:30] Minifig: odd type find /boot/grub/stage1 [17:30] tarjei_; exactly what you need to do [17:30] chmod +6 /home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux? [17:30] pike hd1,0 [17:30] Todomundo aqui tem certeza de que isto está funcionando? [17:31] brb [17:31] tarei_: UNIX decides to execute a file based on permissions, chmod +x command adds execution permission to a file (there's also read and write permission [17:31] tarjei_: no, chmod +x [17:31] im having problems with firefox in ubuntux86 where randomly when accessing flash based pages it greys out and I have to forcequit, is this a known issue? [17:31] tarjei_: ls -l will shoy a complete list with permissions [17:32] tarjei_: the 7 octal code means read write and execution permission,and 6 means read and write permission [17:32] Minifig: thats the problem i spaced on it root (hd1,0) setup (hd0) [17:32] Any one may help me? [17:32] So what do I do now? [17:32] Minifig: i told you hd1,1 [17:32] esoterik: it happens to me in opera under gentoo, but not in firefox [17:32] I must CHMOD it but I don't know how. [17:32] originally [17:32] hi everybody. i have a question. i had ubuntu 7.10 in my laptop (in one partition). so i did other partition and mounted /home in this new one. but at when i had to edit /etc/fstab i think i didnt do it correctly. now i have dev/sda/1 mount point / and sda3 mount points are /home, /media/sda3 and i dont understand [17:33] tarjei_: chmod +x file.exe [17:33] debaser: so its a limitation of the flash plugins perhaps? [17:33] tarjei_: that's all, you can even change permissions under the nice gnome gui [17:33] tarjei_: youll notice after you do that if you 'ls -l' on the very left there is now an x for executable [17:33] esoterik_ don't know, till today can't solve the problem [17:34] Ok I right clicked it and told it to allow everything [17:34] Minifig: one more thing you still need to add windows info to grub [17:34] Now the program runs in my terminal [17:35] tarjei_: ok [17:35] debaser dude now how do I save that modified file in nano? [17:35] debaser: Can you start a private conversation with me? I don't seem able to with this program, unless I type in a command I don't know how. [17:35] Zergiu: Ctrl-O I think [17:35] Zergiu_ yes === __xristos___ is now known as __user___ [17:35] Zergiu: in the bottom bar there's a series of commands you can use [17:36] saved thanks [17:36] lets hope it works [17:36] if not I'm gona get xp and sat bye bye vista [17:36] Zergiu: ok [17:36] Zergiu: go to it pls [17:36] has anyone here used miro? [17:36] sigma: yes [17:36] list [17:37] tarjei_: pls open it you [17:37] windows xp corporate? [17:37] pike_: is it really slow and buggy? [17:37] sigma: i like it though the sytem req are not ideal but you can say that about alot of new python apps [17:37] volume licensing, means i dont have to pay ;) [17:37] debaser: This is a terminal based program. It usually lies in C:\Program files\Folding@Home #1. It starts as a service in Windows. Where should I place it now in Linux? [17:37] debaser: And will it automatically run? [17:37] sigma: latest is suprisingly good only a few issues and it hasnt crashed on me but once in like 2 weeks [17:37] eth01: no, just vista hater [17:37] pike_: wat r da sys requirements? [17:37] tarjei_:; there are several methods [17:37] sigma: not steep i have a 1.8ghz sempron and 512mb ram [17:37] pike_: but is it really slow? [17:38] sigma: no [17:38] anyone can help me with my sound on linux [17:38] ? [17:38] tarjei_: what kind of service is it? [17:38] pike_: ah ok, is it a full multimedia solution? [17:38] debaser: I don't know, I haven't run it in Linux before. But in Windows it just automatically installs as a service (if told to). [17:38] can i report a bug - this may be already in the bugdb but if your starting from a fresh install and your clock is wrong it will ask you if you want to change system time, but not prompt you for root and therefore fail based on not having admin privleges [17:38] anyone know how to get the videos on nfl.com to work? i can watch all other vids no problem [17:38] sigma: i really like it mostly even though its a little wierd on my fluxbox desktop. take a look at tvrss.net to show feeds to of weekly shows you can add em to miro but only the ones that are free of course ;p [17:39] tarjei_: I mean what's the function of the service === offbytwo is now known as offby0x0 [17:39] sigma: yeah. i like even the trailers and stuff it even includes youtube vids. [17:39] What configuration is good for a Ubuntu installation? I mean, is it good to separate Home in another partition, how much space leave to other ubuntu parts...? [17:39] following a tutorial (http://www.howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way) I tried to compile a new kernel and ended up with a bunch of stamp-something files but no kernel image or initrd or anything... how do I get my kernel installed with these? [17:39] IanLiu, it all depends on your needs. [17:39] debaser: It runs in the background using all of the CPU I don't use to simulate the folding of proteins for Stanford univercity research to better understand certain diseases. [17:39] lanLiu: you should just install everything under the same partition, believe me [17:39] IanLiu, i keep /home on its own hard drive, and / on the other hd. [17:40] sigma: alot of the complaints are pre 1.0 which i agree with but most have been address to some extent in latest === offby0x0 is now known as offbytwo [17:40] pike_: im not worried about the downloadable content - im on a gprs line after all:) i just need a video + audio player in one and im on kde [17:40] tarjei_: ok, the computer in which you're trying to run it is only used by you (sorry my bad language, I'm not an english speaker 100%) [17:41] Back. [17:41] debaser: Yes. [17:41] I wanted a configuration that makes Ubuntu reinstalation not so painful, given I test it too much, so I need to backup very often [17:41] lanLiu: I do the same, but to separate them in the same hd is not useful if you're justusing linux for the desktop [17:41] tarjei_: then you should start it whith gnome's sessions [17:41] What do I do now pike? [17:41] How is that done? [17:41] sigma: video its great audio.. ive not really used it for that but it should be ok if not quite rythmobx or whatever. what i really like are some of the net show feeds i think its the way media will move [17:42] tarjei_: try going to somewhere in preferences>sessions and add it [17:42] pike_: whats it lacking in the audio department? [17:42] tarjei_: wait a minute [17:42] pike_: yeah when i get a dsl line, il look into that sort of content [17:42] Thanks guys :) I will study a bit more [17:43] will i see a speed boost with 64bit ubuntu? [17:43] skyfalcon866: a small one [17:43] is it negligible? [17:44] skyfalcon866: you need to weigh that against any trouble you may have in 64 but the trouble isnt so much lately [17:44] anyone know how to get the videos on nfl.com to work? i can watch all other vids no problem [17:44] tarjei_; I think its something like preferences> sessions and add startup program [17:44] drivers an issue? [17:44] skyfalcon866: it may be real but just noticable not huge [17:44] I am ready to continue pike_ [17:44] skyfalcon866: some stuff flash i think is not a prob anymore [17:44] How do i convert a text file from dos format to normal format? [17:44] can I use ++ in a bash script ? as in, number=0; number++ [17:45] sigma: id recommend something else for audio but def give it a try [17:45] Minifig: so it should work now right? only issue now is windows needs to be added to the menu.lst [17:45] I've got a usb disk and I can't seem to write to it. [17:45] pike_: i saw some screenshots, it looks really good [17:45] debaser: WHen I go to the services managment there is no option to add one. [17:45] Ever time I make any changes the sysem thinks it makes them, no errors show up in dmesg, but the disk doesn't change. [17:46] I can't format it [17:46] tarjei_; got it, go to System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup programs and add program [17:46] tarei_: there isn't [17:46] even dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 count=102400 doesn't nuke the drive [17:46] just out of interest, when connecting ubuntu to a dsl line how does it work? does it work automatically when u put the lan cable in? [17:46] it acts like it does [17:46] Minifig: check this out for an example of adding windows which on your system is sda1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [17:46] pike_: can 32bit programs run on 64bit ubuntu [17:46] but then when I plug it an again it has a fat32 filesystem on it again [17:46] and all the files are on it again [17:47] its driving me crazy [17:47] !chroot| skyfalcon866 [17:47] skyfalcon866: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [17:47] Has anybody seen a usbdisk act like this? [17:47] debaser: Ok but if I am to do so I need to know where I should install my program. [17:47] tarjei_: because in linux distributions "services" usually lie in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d (depending on which UNIX they're based, and these files are scripts which start or stop KNOWN programs and servers. To add one with the ubuntu gui the init script must already exist in /etc/init.d [17:47] debaser: It isn't installed yet. I don't want all my program files on mydesktop. === flash is now known as Flash [17:48] tarjei_: you can move them into /usr/local/bin, DON'T use /usr/bin because you'd be messing with apt [17:48] tarjei_: I use /usr/local/bin (and its the logical option), but you can use something like ~/.bin/ === flash is now known as Flash [17:49] hello all [17:49] i have a problem with Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [17:49] Flash: hi again! [17:49] Hi [17:49] <^punisher> Hello [17:49] debaser: man it shows now in lsmod and lspci [17:49] Flash: did you find the madwifi module listed on the output of lsmod? [17:49] I/m no doubt being thick but...having jsut upgraded to 6.10 I notice that pidgin is not available in add/remove. Any reson for this? compatibilty,etc? === gopi is now known as phoenix24 [17:49] debaser: It doesn't allow me to make a folder there [17:49] debaser: no [17:49] Flash: ? [17:50] hi there for some reason i cant get my cube to rotate but its all turned on - morked fine before [17:50] debaser: when i do ifconfig there is no wireless [17:50] ok [17:50] <^punisher> investigating [17:50] tarjei_: that's because you don't have permission, and try not to make a folder, just move it with sudo and everything should be neater [17:50] hi everybody. i have a question. i had ubuntu 7.10 in my laptop (in one partition). so i did other partition and mounted /home in this new one. but at when i had to edit /etc/fstab i think i didnt do it correctly. now i have dev/sda/1 mount point / and sda3 mount points are /home, /media/sda3 and i dont understand [17:50] Flash: ok, and lsmod doesn't show any madwifi module loaded? [17:51] debaser: nope === Locks is now known as Locksm [17:51] Flash: have you installed the madwifi package= [17:51] ? [17:51] debaser: I would prefer not to do anything in the terminal. I don't have any experience there and it sems I can't get anything to work there. [17:51] debaser: doing it now [17:51] anyone any ideas [17:52] tarjei_: its the best you can find, you should get used to it, but if you don't want try F2 and execute "gksudo " [17:52] debaser: it is already installed [17:52] k well i burned a ubuntu desktop disk but it wont exactly install it [17:52] it will boot the desktop but not install it [17:52] I'm trying to configure IPP printing from my laptop to my desk machine, which is on the same network. I went into the "printer configuration" dialog as root, clicked "new printer", then selected "Internet Printing Protocol" and put in the hostname of my desk machine. It popped up a box that says "IPP browser" which says "Scannint..." and displays a spinning-ball cursor. It has been doing that for several minutes and the 'cancel" button doesn [17:52] 't stop it. [17:52] tarjei_: I don't know what's the gnome default manager :D [17:52] What should I do instead [17:52] ? [17:52] Flash: have you followed any guide? [17:52] debaser: no [17:53] Does anyone know of a good subversion gui tool that I can use instead of the command line? [17:53] yrlnry, i always put in the ip# - unless your hosts file has the right names/ip#'s [17:53] wems'': try using the "install" icon in the desktop if there is one [17:53] Dr_willis: I tried that too. Same result. [17:53] debaser: Can I just make a folder called /Program Files? [17:53] debaser: in fact yes... one for ndiswrapper [17:53] Flash: try with a guide, it should be easier to understand that me, and if you have problems, then come and ask [17:53] yrlnry, I aint even using ipp any more. so just going by memory from what ive had to do in the past. [17:53] Flash: search something in ubuntu community [17:53] Dr_willis: Thanks. [17:54] debaser: when i try to install something with ndiswrapper it says ndiswrapper utility missing [17:54] debaser: but i have it installed === ^^barbi^^__ is now known as ^^zvezda^^ [17:54] hello. i'm trying to setup a domain i bought "seta-san.com" but i can't figure out how to configure apache for it. could someone please tell me how [17:55] tarjei_: you can do whatever you want, its your computer, but in Unix, the "bin" directory means there are binary files in there, because Unix has a tradition of simplicity ("bin" instead of "Program executables meaningless extremely long folder name") [17:55] Flash: wait a minute [17:55] tarjei_, spaces in filenames/paths is a VERY bad idea. :) causes all sorts of little problems. [17:55] debaser: ok [17:56] tarjei_, also Linux Is Case senesitive. so its best to keep things lowerd cased [17:56] could anyone help me configure apache with a domain? [17:56] hi guys [17:56] when installing vmware player, server, workstation on ubuntu [17:56] all a user needs to do is install the kernel modules and then just run the install scripts but stop before compiling, right? [17:56] anyone try and mount a LVM2 partition? We have to compile a kernel for LVM2 support? Is this a bug? [17:56] Seta-San: i can try to help [17:56] !vmware [17:56] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [17:57] Seta-San: is the dns already pointing to your server [17:57] debaser: Apparently it doesn't allow me to make a folder in / either. What do I do now? [17:57] Flash: sorry, I can't help you (I installed an atheros adapter once in debian. but I just don't remember anything, and since then I haven't mess around with wifi in the console, only with easy to use guis) [17:57] well. the nslookup is saying no address a records available [17:57] tarjei_: you're sure you ran the filemanager with gksudo? [17:57] anyone can tell me how i can change the open app for links in the places menu please? [17:57] debaser: ok man... [17:58] Flash: sorry [17:58] No [17:58] I am browsing files if that is what you mean [17:58] If you want to switch variants of ubuntu (ex. xubuntu to ubuntu) can I just install ubuntu-desktop and then remove xubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get autoremove? [17:59] tarjei_: you will be usually denied write and even read permission on everything outside your ~ folder, because of security (you can see its much superior than window "security") [17:59] I'd like to create a user "guest" such that their password is only ever valid once. I should have to give them that password, they log in, do their thing, and on logout a new password is created and then e-mailed to my admin user. How would I do that? === bruenig|laptop is now known as bruenig [17:59] tarjei_: if you REALLY need to modify something (or if you don't care to screw something) you can use sudo to gain superuser permissions, which means acces to EVERYTHING in the computer [18:00] anyone can tell me how i can change the open app for links in the places menu please? [18:00] anybody tell me a good mpg joiner? [18:00] debaser: Well I don't care about the security, this is more annoying. [18:00] tonyyarusso: I don't know any existing tool to do that, maybe a script? [18:00] hey guys...somebody use nonXgl script??? [18:00] tarjei_: then start the filemanager with gksudo and mess around [18:00] debaser: So I just type in sudo in the terminal, then I can browse / graphically and make a folder? [18:00] debaser: any idea how I'd trigger it? I'm sure one of those profile-type files is loaded on login. [18:01] tonyarusso: with ~/.bashrc [18:01] anyone try and mount a LVM2 partition? We have to compile a kernel for LVM2 support? Is this a bug? [18:01] tonyarusso: the best I can think of [18:01] bonjour tout le monde [18:01] zut [18:01] tarjei_: no [18:01] debaser: Seems reasonable. I'll give it a shot, thanks. === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [18:01] should i create a new disk if when i ran a disk check on ubuntu [18:02] it said 1 file had an error in it? [18:02] does anyone know if ubuntu 7.10 supports the VIA® P4M900 Chipset and core duo processors? also if it doesn't is there any good resource on which distros support which chipsets? [18:02] debaser: is bashrc loaded on an X login if they don't open a terminal? [18:02] tarjei_: sudo in a terminal allows you to execute single commands, and it can handle you a prompt if you ran sudo -s. To use graphical applications with superuser permissions, you CAN technically use sudo from the console, but you SHOULD use gksudo [18:03] hey guys ... how can i switch between windows ... using the nonXgl script? [18:03] tonyarusso: no, it's not, only if bash is loaded, then you can use ~/.xinitrc [18:03] Good evening everyone. I have a mild problem here. I got my USB Wlan drivers working recently and the last problem is to get it to load on startup without any terminal use. [18:03] debaser: ah [18:04] wems``: It might not be an essential file for your system.. [18:04] connect #doctrine [18:04] tonyarusso: if they use KDE or gnome you must use the "session" and "startup programs" config [18:04] jussiKk: what wlan card? [18:04] Anybody here have any luck / experience with exporting ntfs? [18:04] adelie: me [18:04] adelie: sorry, not me [18:05] debaser ? [18:05] debaser: hmm. 98% of the time it will be a Gnome session, but it would be nice if it was independent [18:05] adelie: what do you mean by exporting ntfs? [18:05] adelie: I got confused, it seem ntfs nor vfat can be exported with nfs [18:05] debaser: I still don't understand. What do I do to make my file explorer run as an administrator? [18:05] exportfs [18:05] anybody know why a usb disk might act like its writing but not ever write? [18:06] tonyyarusso: I can't think of anything but to create an script and then add it to every possible option (.bashrc, .xinitrc, gnome and kde sessions, etc) [18:06] kitofhawaii: The Zyxel G-270S [18:06] tarjei_: gksudo nautilus but use with caution.. you can really mess things up if not careful [18:06] How do I change my login theme? (I know i keep popping up with dumb questions, sorry) [18:06] that't it, nautilus [18:06] tarjei: you type in sudo infront of the command so if your command is grep whatever than sudo grep whatever will make it run as an admin [18:06] pope22: gnome-look.org gdm themes [18:06] jussiKk:jussiK: did it come with an up script of its own? or do you have to go through all sorts of fun stuff to get it up [18:06] pope22: system>preferences? [18:07] debaser I found stuff from 2 years ago about people complaining that FUSE didn't support ntfs export, but supposedly ntfs-3g can. Or is this still an open issue? [18:07] I just type in gksudo nautlius in the terminal then go make my folder? [18:07] tarjei_: yes [18:07] adelie: no idea, I don't use machines with double OS [18:07] adelie: so I don't use ntfs-3g [18:07] debaser: I looked in preferences, nothing...there's login options in admin, but that's only for technical aspects, not visual...i'll check out gnome-llok.org thnx [18:07] anybody know a good free mpg joiner? [18:08] tarjei_: or you can type it in into F2 dialog, sorry if I misexplained myself [18:08] debaser I wouldn't either... but not something I have 100% control over for this particular machine :( [18:08] pope22: system.. admin..login window... [18:08] kitofhawaii: No scripts that I am aware of, just the winXP driver wrapped into ndiswrapper [18:08] It still won't allow me to make a folder there. [18:09] tarjei_: then you must check the sudo config [18:09] jussiKk: ok so what is it that you have to do to get your driver up? some iwconfig'ing? :) [18:09] tarjei_: did you use gksudo nautilus like I said..? [18:09] Yes [18:09] in that case, is rsync the best way to keep two directories synchronized (ext3 mirror) [18:09] tarjei_: and it wont let you make a flder where? [18:09] kitofhawaii: Modprobe the ndiswrapper and some iwconfigin yes [18:09] tarjei_: I think there's a gui in ubuntu [18:09] I was prompted for my password, I typed it, then went to try make a folder in /bin [18:09] tarjei_: try not to touch /bin [18:09] tarjei_: use /usr/local/bin [18:10] Well not there either [18:10] jussiKk: did you do "sudo ndiswrapper -m" yet? [18:10] ola === GpoNsU is now known as Juanxu [18:10] tarjei_: then its about sudo config [18:10] hi guys do you know some guides to manage new ipod in linux? [18:10] Meaning? === Juanxu is now known as GpoNsU [18:10] tarjei_: have you done much to your system with root access? [18:10] emmc the dicumentation for gkpod is pretty good last time I used it [18:11] so it works with new ipod? [18:11] I don't know, I installed Ubuntu a few days ago [18:11] the last version? [18:11] kitofhawaii: No, the option -m does not appear in the man (not the one I'm reading). What does it do? [18:11] tarjei_; I don't want to mess your sudo config file, try with system > admin > users and groups [18:11] tarjei_: grant every privelege to your user [18:12] tarjei_: I am able to on my system with gksudo nautilus.. you have other issues going on [18:12] emmc the new ibrick 2.0 patch? havn't tried it, but I read on slashdot that they were working on it, so if it works, gkpod would have it [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: surely sudo config [18:12] tarjei_: try system >admin>users&groups [18:12] jussiKk: it adds information to modprobe for it to autoscan [18:12] I gave myself all rights, no change. [18:13] jussiKk: "ndiswrapper --help" will give you more options...but -m is the one you need so you don't have to manually modprobe [18:14] tarjei_: got it know, add yourself to the admin group [18:14] HI I am having a problem I want to install apache 1.x on my system or even 2.0 but when i do apt-get remove apache2 it says it removes it but its still there how can I get rid of apache 2.2.x and instsall apache 2.0 or 1.x ? [18:14] adelie, i don't know about ibrick patch... i read some things on it... tnx [18:14] tarjei_: that should do it, I guess that's how ubuntu does it (usually its called wheel group) [18:15] I did it now, no change. [18:15] tarjei_: you must relogin when you change group or user config [18:15] ok [18:16] kitofhawaii: I'll try this. Thanks. I'll be back if there is still something. [18:16] r [18:16] hallo [18:16] does anyone know what the "attempted to kill the idle task" kernel panic means?

[18:17] #Ubuntu-pl [18:17] I can make folders [18:18] hi debaser [18:18] where did you want me to place folding@home again? [18:18] tarjei_: in /usr/local/bin [18:18] debase google >> kernel panic + attempt to kill task << tons of replys [18:18] tarjei_: try not to create folders there and just place the binary [18:19] seems to be a hardware based issue' [18:19] ok well it refused to make folders there though [18:19] and i can't paste my file there either [18:19] crush_groove: yes, but I've read many forums and pages and many pages of results with no success (usually people like me asking without answer [18:19] tarjei_: ok that's weird [18:20] tarjei_: pls open a terminal [18:20] done [18:20] anyone still using the Hoary LiveCD? problems getting video correct? msg me [18:20] tarjei_: try sudo -s -H [18:20] or sudo -s [18:20] okay. i made a button on my toolbar 'gksudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1' ... why does it have a different effect than running the same command in a terminal? (I have those in the 'command' option of the 'custom application launcher' [18:20] HI I am having a problem I want to install apache 1.x on my system or even 2.0 but when i do apt-get remove apache2 it says it removes it but its still there how can I get rid of apache 2.2.x and instsall apache 2.0 or 1.x ? [18:21] kriel: I dont think you need gksudo for that.. [18:21] ladk03: try sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [18:21] then run sudo apt-get autoremove [18:21] tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ sudo -s -H [18:21] [sudo] password for tarjei: [18:21] root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# === MarcoZ is now known as \O[rangeBox] [18:21] Jack_Sparrow: it should have the same effect as sudo, though, except for graphically asking for the password (as opposed to in the terminal) [18:22] kriel: agreed [18:22] tarjei_: there you go [18:22] tarjei_: try "touch /usr/local/bin/test" [18:23] root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# touch /usr/local/bin/test [18:23] root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# [18:23] kriel: should you net need to have them the same..

Is there a program (other than Emacs et al.) that will allow "formatting" of ASCII text, i. e. centering, justifying the text by inserting spaces with regard to max. line length?

[18:24] nodz [18:24] tarjei_: not me, but its important anyway [18:24] wraund, so what do i do [18:25] ladk03: dunno mate :/ [18:25] kriel: not really "forms" of sudo I think, gksudo is based in sudo so its te same [18:25] kriel: yes it does save it... just seems odd to run gksudo to take it down then only sudo to bring it up. [18:25] if it says its not on there it means it isnt, or some config files are still on there or something [18:25] wraund can I just go ahead and install apache 1.x [18:25] ladk03: in theory yes [18:25] when i try i get this error [18:25] Package apache is not available, but is referred to by another package. [18:25] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [18:25] chuckles at "in theory" [18:25] debaser: agreed. [18:26] Jack_Sparrow: gksudo ... && gksudo had the same effect. [18:26] kriel: well, at least i can confirm that gksudo ifdown eth0 has no effect on my machine either :) [18:26] ladk03: try using synaptics [18:26] whats that? [18:26] ladk03: and what do you mean with "its still there"? [18:26] kitofhawaii: do you have an interface on eth0? (checking) [18:26] ladk03: the gui for apt [18:27] I am working on a server no gui :P [18:27] ladk03: are you using gnome?

[18:27] tarjei_: ls, without arguments lists the common directory [18:27] I don't have time for more tonight, I have work to do [18:27] yes [18:27] probably some orphan files left after she removed it [18:27] tarjei_: wait, its ust ls /usr/local/bin [18:28] debaser, still there is in files congigs, the binaries its all still there init script everything [18:28] Strawberryjam: look under Current Profile [18:28] debaser, and it runs [18:28] yikes [18:28] ok, thanks [18:28] still there as in its still on the system and configured [18:28] Strawberryjam: I think It's in the Edit menu [18:28] it was [18:28] tarjei_: anyway, jut type in mv ~/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin [18:28] it says test [18:28] thank you [18:28] tarjei_; insert the above command === matthijs is now known as IlovejumP [18:28] ladk03: and you removed it with apt?

Is there a program (other than Emacs et al.) that will allow "formatting" of ASCII text, i. e. centering, justifying the text by inserting spaces with regard to max. line length? Like an extended (GUI?) version of the "reformat" command. [18:29] tarjei_; no, the command "mv ~/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin" [18:30] Hi... how can i assosiate .tmd files with a certain command and also assign an icon to them - from the command line ideally [18:30] ladk03: I don't know how Ubuntu handles "slots", but you should look for a package called "apache1" or something, or use aptitude [18:31] root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# mv ~/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe /usr/local/binFAH [18:31] mv: cannot stat «/root/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe»: No such file or directory [18:31] root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# [18:31] I love linux...i really have control over my OS, and i just love it.

[19:07] wow [19:07] b0uncer: please don't use that sort of language, you have been asked about that before [19:07] i use 100% of both cores [19:07] b0uncer: and it asks me to restart my comp.. and once restarted it doesnt load x properly [19:07] tarjei_: look, you can make it save the file there or try some other fancy configs, but know the best option is to place it in your personal folder, in your home [19:07] warlock_handler, what errors does it throw? [19:07] how does this work? [19:08] in windows it just uses 100% of one core [19:08] ikonia: i would like to force a previous version of the package - that command doesn't seem to do it - any other suggestions?

[19:08] tarjei_: because you should add the program with sudo so that it writes to /usr/local/bin, but if you place it in your local folder everything should work fine [19:08] ikonia: then how do i go about installing the older version? [19:09] tarjei_: yes [19:09] tarjei_: no the operating system is smp enable so anything that can use multcore/cpu will [19:09] tarjei_: if an application is specificly single threaded it will only use one core/socket [19:09] this is no smp program, yet ubuntu makes it use both cores [19:09] sainzeo: check out apt-cache policy [19:09] that is freaking awesome [19:09] I'm wondering if anyone is running Feisty and notices that SpamAssassin takes forever to run its remote tests...

[19:19] Hello! Over the time, the answer to the question 'what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude?' was 'aptitude handles packages and their dependencies better'. Has that changed lately ?

[19:51] Hey, Folks. So this morning I was trying to chmod a file and it started segfaulting. Then the whole system started to inexplicably shit the bed. I restarted and suddenly my network interface fails to initialize; I was able to re-activate it in order to surf the web, but I can't ssh into, ftp to it, and worst of all Apache is shot. I can, however, ping the machine. Anyone have any ideas?... [19:51] ... I must note that this install is running on a virtual machine. [19:51] Marfi: with vista? [19:51] Whoa, Sorry again [19:51] I forgot to edit it [19:51] jrgotti: Before typing sudo ndiswrapper -m and rebooting [19:51] Parsi, what are you trying to do with the computer? [19:51] hey [19:51] it's for my friend [19:51] adelie: that did the trick; is there an apt-get command for *complete* removal, including conf files as in Synaptic?

[19:59] mrspinx what you want is the~/.Xmodmap file in your home directory [19:59] Parsi but use keyword gparted and vista [19:59] now run rmmod and do that again [19:59] redrebel: and not here, no.

So i could create a symlink in there [20:01] thor i dont see those files [20:01] Jack_sparrow, Also, I got the Gutsy live CD on it right now, which it can run with. Is there a way I can just copy files from it to the harddrive? [20:01] Parsi check this http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?pid=2143 [20:01] Notsquee: You would be better off just installing gutsy [20:02] wems, it should automatically [20:02] wems: Start by identifying your hardware for us [20:02] mrspinx you need to create it if it doesn't exist. Mine contains two lines to disable capslock and change it to an ESC key...it is a very simple file. If you google the filename you should be able to find some examples with th ekeycodes you want [20:02] i will never use gparted to create/resize ntfs partitions! NEVER [20:02] jussiKk: you say everything worked before ndiswrapper -m? [20:03] jrgotti: Correct [20:03] . [20:03] Parsi: bad experience? :P [20:03] Do you know if I install Gutsy on the harddrive, if it will rewrite over the Feisty files that are bugged, so I can run it. Or if it'll create a whole separate OS on the same HD, Jack_Sparrow? [20:03] jussiKk: try an "ndiswrapper -e wlanchag" [20:03] start from scratch...look for any errors..

I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to play any online games today ;) [20:27] fileokus: that's quite a complicated process (at least for me it was), with smtp and outcoming mail you should only configure something like exim [20:27] k if someone could help me out with this.

[20:40] huss_ I don't recommend running sudo nautilus, be *very* carefull with the resulting window [20:40] jrgotti: bad idea... use gksudo nautilus if you must do that [20:40] Hi, i accidentaly deleted my desktop folder, which represent my gnome desktop. I tried to recover it from the trash, didn't work. Looks like GNOME recreated a Desktop folder in the trash, and is using that one, which would explain why i can't put any icons, any ideas? [20:40] Slart: same difference :P [20:40] manolo: I suppose theoreticly it could be a bad driver... what driver are you using?

[20:41] the gpg key from easy ubunto is unavailable any idea how i can get it and get easy ubuntu working? [20:42] jrgotti: I haven't either.. but apparently it can do all kinds of nasty things if you use sudo instead of gksudo/gksu [20:42] anyone have a URL for Ubuntu 7.1 kernel compiles? It seems a bit more complicated that it has to be...Maybe I have not found the right URL yet....

[21:54] well , you might want the 32bit version [21:55] <[Scooter]> Ax-Ax: ok, well you should be able to add it simply by clicking on system->administration->printers [21:55] but do as you like [21:55] I wondered about that. the software (its a time tracker) doesn't talk about 32 bit anywhere. [21:55] goodhabit, I thought about it, but the shipping costed 7 times the product ;D [21:55] [Scooter], how do you tab your terminal windows together =p just read it in a guide but doesn't tell you how ^^ [21:55] but the libs are [21:55] <[Scooter]> Ax-Ax: just follow the directions when it asks if u want to scan the network for a printer [21:55] Kuropon: use a xterm app with tabs [21:55] plz help .. i have to use a program that it's avalible for windows and macosx .. could somebody tell me what to do ? [21:55] <[Scooter]> Kuropon: click on session->new shell [21:56] Ax-Ax, how to know, how much will take shipping? [21:56] Is there a good linux time tracker in the repos?

[21:57] <[Scooter]> Kuropon: yeah [21:57] anas there are many programs available for windows and mac os , but this is ubuntu official channel [21:57] robdeman: You must put the nameserver information back into the /etc/resolv.conf file.

[21:58] white_eagle: Yeah, i think they should leave the K as in kernel processes alone [21:58] dajhorn: but /etc/resolv.conf says: # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [21:58] anas:> nope [21:58] I really want to use Gnash [21:58] kool [21:58] robdeman: It is still safe to change the /etc/resolv.conf file. [21:58] roflmao, so dum [21:58] Sadly it's seriously buggered [21:58] white_eagle: Maybe G_QT_dome or something :=) === KI4IKL|School is now known as Sam1337 === Sam1337 is now known as tofaffy [21:58] Mark761966: gnash doesnt work too much nw [21:58] now [21:58] I know [21:59] gnome is so much better for me [21:59] But, it's the proncipal [21:59] gnome ownz [21:59] Bugger [21:59] robdeman: If dhcp is giving you bogus DNS information, then you must use a prepend line in the dhclient configuration.

[23:46] djviper: hold i will try again [23:46] pingu: did you type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" first? [23:47] kameron: well if you want to install a windows mbr you need a backup of one such [23:47] or you could try stripping grub from the disk if that's the problem [23:47] i think there's a linux command for it? [23:47] pingu: in terminal [23:47] kameron: but there is no windows boot code included with grub or available from grub-isntall [23:47] i have festival-gaim installed, but ubuntu 7.10 uses pidgin. how do i get it working? [23:47] Is there anyway i can access my music on a drive that was created under windows under linux?
