PointyThingsHurtSlart: I'm having speed issues connecting to a NAS box on the network00:00
PointyThingsHurtmy network status is 1000 Mb/sec00:00
dorkfaceakos:  I don't know how much easier it would be, but you may be able to use aliases to connect to networks, so whenever you have to connect to a different network, all you'd need to do is type in one command00:00
akosyeah, ok thx00:00
dorkfaceIt wouldn't be automatic, but closer to your goal00:00
jscinozhey guys, im trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop, i downloaded the image of the desktop CD and found however X cant start. Is there a text based installer included on the desktop CD? and if so what is the command to start it?00:00
PointyThingsHurtmy brother gets a 500MB file in less than a minute off the NAS00:00
SlartPointyThingsHurt: is there a max speed defined for the NAS-box?00:00
Odd-rationalejscinoz: Nope you have to download another cd00:01
PointyThingsHurtand he's in XP00:01
Retro`i've installed Ripper X00:01
PointyThingsHurtbut when i get the same file, it takes 15 minutes00:01
Retro`see what that gives00:01
vishalIs it possible to force application to start on a certain desktop?00:01
unbeatablhow can i have my own,  ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com ? if mydomain.com uses ns1.mydomain.com , how does mydomain.com even haev an IP in the first place?  and if domain registrar doesnt give me this functionality, what shal i do?00:01
geniijscinoz: No text based installer on the regular cd, you need to get the alternate00:01
proqesivishal: define "force"00:01
PointyThingsHurtshouldnt be, like i said. brother gets the file in less than a minute00:01
thefoxxhi00:01
vishalproqesi: for example, when i run pidgin it will open on desktop 600:02
SlartPointyThingsHurt: ah.. so your problem has nothing to do with gigabit networks.. I would say your problem is "samba is slow, how can I fix it"00:02
sonjahow do i set it up so i don't have to type in my login name when ubuntu boots up, but i can just select it from a list of users on my computer using the mouse?00:02
vishalproqesi: instead of the current desktop00:02
Seebvishal: set DISPLAY before running it00:02
PointyThingsHurtyou think its my samba client?00:02
jscinozgenii, ugh thats so weak.. another 700mb to waste >_<00:02
SlartPointyThingsHurt: I can only confirm.. I get shitty speeds when using samba to transfer files.. I don't know how to fix it00:02
Seebvishal: DISPLAY=":0:1" pidgin00:02
vishalSeeb: I dont understand,00:02
thefoxxI have a problem with a package I build with PPA - it's a multi binary package and one "sub package" is sawn by apt every time as newer as the same version - difficult to explain ;)00:02
PointyThingsHurtVery interesting.  I never even realized it could be the samba CLIENT..00:03
=== picard_pwns_kirk is now known as janeway_pwns_all
thefoxxif I update to my builded version it still sais there is again a new version00:03
vishalSeeb: so i would put that in the console and it would open on desktop 1?00:03
geniijscinoz: Well, if you already have some other box running ubuntu, maybe do a netboot install00:03
thefoxxbut it's the same version...00:03
SlartPointyThingsHurt: try something else then.. ftp, nas.. see if they are faster00:03
thefoxxupdate from 0.0.1 to 0.0.100:03
Seebvishal: or whatever display you want it to appear on00:03
PointyThingsHurtgood idea00:04

jscinozthanks, i might not need it anymore, i got X to start by giving the live cd the vga=791 bit00:09
Odd-rationalevishal: Try man devilspie00:09
geniijscinoz: Ah, good00:09
bruenigvishal, read the documentation, you need to write some config files for different applications and put it in ~/.devilspie00:09

ifireballadamonline46: did you try "ifup"ing without doing the iftab bit?00:14
LimCoreubuntu failed totally to provide wokring fonts.  the bug is reported for days (weeks?) and still not fixed, what the?00:14
Slartearthling_: wow.. that sounds like something out of a cisco cert exam =).. I have no idea.. you could try and set it up using virtual machines just to see what happens00:15
HohoHuhuIs asm-offset.c really present where you untarred your kernel?00:15

alescrdlb: I'd like to run X without xgl when I am using my laptop battery. Latest intel video driver has a bug and it causes more than 100 unnecessary wakeups per sec when xgl is present. Removing "xserver-xgl" solves this. I'd only like to do it only while on batt - so I was thinkng of writing a script to do it automatically :D00:16
Nikolailooks like it's to difficult -.-00:16
crdlbales: why would you want to use Xgl with intel?00:16
ifireballearthling: you'll need to enable ip-forwarding00:16
ifireballearthling: on compC00:16
alescrdlb: Ummm, I' dont get any compizs effect if do not have it installed?00:16

earthling_ifireball:yes linux machine00:20
|juan|where is that setting located?00:20
HohoHuhuThis chatroom is lots of lolz!00:20
nickrudfoso, ah, gksudo nautilus will let you do that, but it's dangerous. You should instead do it in a terminal, sudo cp /path/to/theme /usr/share/themes00:20
crdlb|juan|: you seem to have enabled it in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf00:20
Slartearthling_: not wine.. virtual machines.. you run a program that simulates a whole computer.. network and all.. then you run 3 of those.. at the same time.. and try the ping thing00:20

HohoHuhuhi00:22
nickrudfoso, normally you don't have write permissions to anything outside your home directory. You need to elevate your rights to the admin level to write there.  gksudo is used with gui programs, and sudo on the command line to get those permissions00:22

HohoHuhuWhich video card?00:24
ifireballadamonline46: the error seems unrelated, its a postfix (mail server) error00:24

loopyzortit's an ati radeon x30000:24
loopyzorti've read a billion conflicting opinions on how to set it up00:24

SlartLimCore: talk to canonical.. everyone here is a ubuntu user just like you.. if you want to yell at someone, at least yell at someone that's making money of it =)00:24
ifireballadamonline46: what does ethtool tell you, does it detect the link?00:24
LimCoreSlart: ok00:25
goldphishHmm, so the module I am trying to build is called 'keyspan'. It's included in a vanilla kernel but not in the ubuntu stock builds. How do I obtain the source package for that module since it's included in the kernel itself? I would like to use the kernel headers from my running kernel if possible.00:25
nickrudfoso, then the next step is to unpack it into your own home , at /home/<you>/.themes .00:25
Towelboystreaming divx in linux?? anybody knows how to?00:25
nickrudfoso, as a general rule you don't want to put things in system locations00:25

adamonline46ifireball: ethtool?  How do I use that?  I'm in CLI, by the way, in case it's a GUI thing...  Typing ethtool by itself says 'invalid arguments'00:27
jesseyes, i've tried everything00:27
HohoHuhusync, sync, sync.00:27
nickrudfoso, if you still don't see it, then you would make it00:27
erUSULLimCore: use DejaVu fonts they are packaged for ubuntu00:27
jessei've tried the "aoss" thing, the .asoundrc file, nothing works00:27
nickrudfoso, and it's important that it be    .themes   , the period at the beginning makes it hidden00:27
jesseim a relatively advanced user, i dunno wtf is the problem00:27
fosonickrud i just learned about the ctrl h thing but didnt realize it was there but hidden00:27
HohoHuhuWhat ou mean jesse?00:27
SlartNoodels: well.. I don't think there is an OS out there that fully utilizes a dual core processor.. there are many that can use dual core though00:27
jessethe sound plays out of sync with the video with the flash plugin00:28
fosonickrud i put it in there00:28
ifireballadamonline46: its almost illegal to say here, but honestly, read the manpage please, it is a cli tool btw.00:28

Aztec007hey guys, I'm dual booting a PC with Ubuntu / XP, I first installed Ubuntu's "/', and "/boot" directories on one partition, does that make it impossible to dual boot the machine? After I installed XP, I had to reedit the menu.lst file but when I select windows now it wont load00:45

elson6659hey there - can someone give me a quick hint? I have a wireless card for which I need to use ndiswrapper, all fine and good. but the only way I know how to start the card is by using 'dhclient' - how can I start it with a static ip address? I'm using xubuntu, but happy on the console.00:51
Slartatomdog2003: yes00:51
pike_Aztec007: if that is the case id see the !fixmbr link because as long as windows installed grub doesnt care where it is00:51

ctothejUpdate manager has prompted me to install linux-headers-2.6.22-14, l-h-generic and linux-image... but I have compiled 2.6.23.9, installed, and am using that kernel version for a hardware compatibility issue that it fixes. What would happen if I let update manager install the 2.6.22-24.47 update? Should I just use synaptic to lock or freeze these particular updates?00:54

ctothejDigitalNinja: ok, I can lock the versions in synaptic. what would it do if I let it install?00:55

ctothejDigitalNinja: ok great thanks00:57
DigitalNinjactothej: If you don't know how to do this just hit "Esc" on boot so you get the grub boot menu. You should be able to pick your kernel.00:57
DigitalNinjactothej: That's assuming your kernel is still in the menu.00:57

sigra+anyone heard of easy ubuntu..if so what do you think?01:25
macdadamonline46, only the x server, or do you want a window manager as well?01:25

pedrotmartinezbut it doesnt appear on the network-manager01:26
pedrotmartinezany ideas?01:26
macdadamonline46, and you installed e17 from apt? it would automatically install X as well.01:26
Pir8Anyone ever come across this, sometimes within linux (Ubuntu/Mint in my case) firefox can play youtube and other videos with sound, other times no sound.01:26

tritiumsigra: I'd advise against it.  Installing the packages you need is nearly as easy.01:27
wolsmacd: why would it?01:27
macdPir8, the fixed flash is out, but it has a small error on install, should be fixed soon enough, if your on gutsy, for now you can manually install the hardy package01:27
Pir8macd, interesting....thanks for sharing that I always thought it had something to do with my installation01:27
wolsadamonline46: install xorg01:27

Gneaanton__: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html01:27
macdwols Im pretty sure its a pre-req.01:27

remuhello everyone, ive got a windows computer that houses all of my files for the home network, its running windows xp, when i watch videos from it on my laptop while im in windows xp, it works great, no stutter, no nothing, however, when i run ubuntu on the same laptop and try to watch the videos, they stutter, sometimes freeze for a few seconds (15-30) and then play again01:31
wolssigra: ask in #easyubuntu as the name implies and don't take polls01:31
macdsigra, well its unsupported, can break things, and we dont recommend it01:31
remudoes anyone know how i can fix that?01:31
aszwet1macd no luck sir01:31
sigraum I not taking polls.  I am learning about ubuntu?01:31
sigraand thanks. I didnt know there was a chatchannel for easy ubuntu01:32
sigraI check it out01:32
Gneaanton__: well, it's a bit of a read, but... http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/01:32
tritiumsigra: asking people about it and what they think is, by definition, taking a poll01:32
macdaszwet1, not sure what to tell you really, its very possible something you did earlier is conflicting and causing it not to work01:32
adamonline46wols: Are you saying xserver-xorg is wrong?01:32
Gneaanton__: anything you could possibly need to know about any kind of networking with linux is there01:32
sigrawell there is no shortage of judgement in ones self opinion in here.  Have nice day:)01:32
aszwet1how can i check that kind of stuff macd?01:32
lleonardI have a widescreen display and the usplash image is displaying out of proportion.  I tried changing the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 1680 x 1050 and regenerated the ramfs image, but it looks the same.  Is it not possible for usplash to use 1680 x 1050 resolution?01:33
aszwet1and can you link me to that one website again?01:33
macdaszwet1, by undoing everything you did earlier01:33
Gneaanton__: chapter 2 should be what you're currently after01:33
Pir8ok so all of a sudden my audio is borked01:33
naxais there a patch for gtk's file open window to display files as icons (like in nautilus)? if no, where exactly can i ask for it? it's a very needed feature... xp had it and now vista has much more than this... ubuntu cannot lack anymore01:33
wolsadamonline46: not sure if it pulls all needed dependencies01:33
macd@aszwet1:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=402395001:33

aszwet1thanks i'll start undoing everything :)01:33
pedrotmartinezhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49753/01:33
pedrotmartinezhere is the output01:33
robdigpedrotmartinez: ok, looking01:34
kitchenaxa: huh gtk is just a toolkit really01:34
GneaPir8: sounds like you have a half-duplex soundcard and a rogue process still has control of it. try this:  sudo lsof | grep dsp01:34
pedrotmartinezok, thanks robdig01:34
pedrotmartinezI will be eternally glad if I can solve this01:34
X-norkitche: naxa: well, what toolkit do most gtk apps use for file chooser?01:34
Pir8Gnea,  hmmmm how do I know it is a half-duplex soundcard ?01:34
naxakitche: erm, ok, what i want is an icon view for "file open" window. I cannot select the right pictures from 1000+ pictures without seeing them... where could i ask for this feature?01:35
robdigpedrotmartinez: hmm, kinda sparse. what is the output from lspci | grep -i network01:35
X-norkitche: naxa: KDE with its kioslaves is a lot more powerful than most gtk solutions, at any rate01:35
blindmacd: well, i tried logging into gdm and after i entered the username/password, it just brought me to a blank brown screen (with a pointer... but nothing else is loading)01:35
GneaPir8: because you can only run one sound app at a time. full duplex would allow multiple sound programs to run simultanously.01:35
remuanyone know how to fix the samba issue? my windows box is hosting the files, im trying to access them from my ubuntu machine, the video stutters and lags when i play it, however it does not do that when i a play the files through windows, anyone?01:35
kitcheX-nor: good to know what I knew already01:35
Pir8I see01:35
pedrotmartinezhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49754/01:35
pedrotmartinezthis is01:35
naxaX-nor: it is right, but i don't really like KDE in other ways...01:35
robdigpedrotmartinez: ok, looking01:36
macdblind, yeah, thats expected, you need to fix your networking issue, then reboot in normal mode.01:36
Pir8well I have been able to run pidgin and amarok together in the past and also watch movies....all at once in some cases.01:36
kompute1Does anyone use a TTS application to have the computer read text???01:36
blindhow do i fix my networking issue if i can't log in?01:36
Pir8Gnea, that command returned nothing01:36
zloog#gnome01:36
naxaX-nor: i tryed it a feveral times, but i always go back to gnome becouse i just can't get used to kde... it's frustrating for me, even if i learn how to do01:36
kompute1I don't know how to open Ocra01:36
macdblind, at console, hitting crtl+alt+f301:36
naxathings01:36
GneaPir8: try this one: sudo lsof | grep libasound01:36
Pir8aaah yes bunch of stuff shows up for that one01:37
robdigpedrotmartinez: ok, the system is recognizing it, so that is good01:37
pedrotmartinezyes01:37
GneaPir8: could be esd or something else software that's allowing it01:37
blindmacd: ctrl+alt+f3 (as well as all the other ttys) doesn't give me a login.01:37
pedrotmartinezand that makes me crazy01:37
pedrotmartinezwhat can I do?01:37
macdblind, hitting enter doesnt bring one up?01:37
anton__I don't wanna have to configure a shitload of stuff....we had it working a couple of weeks ago, and now it's f*cked...01:37
anton__why?01:37
Pir8So how does one get out of this mess (without rebooting and or logging out) :)01:37
tritiumanton__: watch the language, please01:37
blindmacd: nope.01:38
kompute1Does anyone use a TTS application to have the computer read text??? I don't know how to open Ocra, I tried installing Ksayit and KTTSmgr, but none of them seem to work. Does anyone have experince with Text-to-Speech?01:38
anton__*nod*01:38
macdblind, I dunno then :/01:38
macdblind, I have a feeling one of us is missing some detail though01:38
=== Varka_ is now known as Varka
Gneaanton__: don't know, but if you want to do any kind of networking, then it's something you'll need to learn.01:38
anton__Gnea: Like the simplest thing ever, setting up a LAN...01:38
blindIt's quite possible. I never had this much trouble with *my* dapper installation and the same card.01:39
anton__what are the advantages of linux when you can't even get simple things to work?01:39
macdblind, do you have other kernel versions to boot, or just one?01:39
Gneaanton__: it is for many of us... but then we've already been through the swamp that it takes to learn it :)01:39
blindno, i've got some others, i think.01:39
X-nornaxa: the problem is the aversion to being modular, most software suffers from that01:39
zloogdoes anyone know what --gtk-debug actually does?01:39
anton__I tried letting firestarter configure it for me, but it says that eth1 wasn't ready.01:39
kazolDo you guys know of any more GUI IRC clients (except konversation, xchat, irssi) with DCC support?01:40
Gneaanton__: well the way i see it, you've got 2 choices: buckle down and read and figure it out, or sit here and cry about how unfair life is.01:40
X-nornaxa: you can't just pop in another file manager - you MUST use what the author chose.. that kind of thing01:40
naxaX-nor: i'm not sure what is this meaning becouse of my lacking english knowledge but is there a(n even temporary) solution? :)01:40
quaalanyone use a gamepad in ubuntu01:40
naxaX-nor: too bad...01:40
Gneaquaal: yes01:40
kitchex-nor: well techinally you can use another file manager if you want to01:40
anton__Gnea: Nah, I'll get some down-to-earth linux ppl to help.01:40

naxaX-nor: if you could give me a hint i would be happy to rebuild...01:42
Pir8Gnea there were two odd listing in the "sudo lsof | grep libasound" which were processes running as /usr/bin/ something....seemed odd01:42
kitchemetropinko: it's what your userpassword is01:42
GneaPir8: yeah, lsof rocks for finding processes that aren't working right :)01:42
LjLkompute1, the only decent TTS engine there is around is Festival, i bet all those applications you've tried need it installed. what language do you need it for?01:42
Pir8Gnea thanks for your help though! much appreciated.01:42

GneaPir8: you're welcome, and happy new years01:42
otto_anyone know how I could add another terminal with a custom getty script?01:43
robdigpedrotmartinez: hmm, kinda sparse. what is the output from grep -i eth[01] /var/log/syslog01:43
Pir8Gnea you too01:43
X-nornaxa: especially the ones who wrote the file open dialog01:43
pedrotmartinezrobdig01:43
metropinkoi tried that, but there kitche, but there seems to be another admin username set up on here01:43
pedrotmartinezI think I have done a very big mistake01:43
naxaX-nor: you could be right...01:43
robdigpedrotmartinez: what is that?01:43
naxaX-nor: but it is also true, that many will turn from linux becouse of that...01:43
pedrotmartinezI have seen I hadn't installed linux-restricted-modules01:43
X-nornaxa: you will have to change the GtkFileChooser class probably01:43
pedrotmartinezit  could be the reason01:43
naxaX-nor: vista comes with more eye-candy icon viewing what is also useful01:43
naxaX-nor: it's okay01:44

pedrotmartinezI will be back01:44
robdigpedrotmartinez: good luck01:45
pedrotmartinezthanks :)01:45
LjLkompute1: ok, start by doing « echo "This is a test." | festival --tts » to see if festival itself works01:45
kitcheB_166-ER-X: See System -> Preferences -> Indexing Preferences and Disable indexing/watching. that will do what you want01:45
X-nornaxa: yes, it's the same for everything, whether you wrote your own distro or have apt. tarballs, cvs, svn, etc01:45
naxaum, yeah.. i guess01:45
X-nornaxa: make sure it builds before you do any patching :P01:45
Quentinplease, nobody heard about something like that ?01:46
B_166-ER-Xkitche do i have to reboot or something ?  cause i did this and i see no difference01:46

pedrotmartinezyes01:48

X-nornaxa: yeah, not like I could help01:48
ShpookIs there a way to install 32-bit packages in a 64-bit system?01:48

Dr_willis_Shpook,  theres a way you can do a 32bit chroot.. good luck. :)01:49
metropinkoCan anyone help me locate my admin username and password (7.04)?01:49
X-nornaxa: alternatively changing the file chooser might be pointless. just load via nautilus01:49
macd!chroot01:49

jdolan_i just installed ubuntu amd64 on my first ever 64 bit box.01:49

Willabeeis there a shockwave for linux/01:49
X-norWillabee: no, but check out WINE01:50

macdjdolan_, surprise surprise.01:50
kompute1LjL what are the other voices I can install and do i gut apt-get install them?01:50
macdjdolan_, unless you crave 64bit, just run 32bit.01:50
metropinkoi'm using that password when I try to use the update manager, but I get this message: The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.01:50
naxaX-nor: i want no workaround. I want file chooser to be ok forever.01:50
X-norat least Ubuntu is nice and tells you tainted drivers01:50
naxaX-nor: i myself find it almost unbeliveable that it's not done already01:51
X-nornaxa: always would be a workaround though. patch it yourself and you must update for eternity01:51
* macd knows the hardy 64bit flash works on gutsy.01:51
CaBlGuY!DVD01:51
ubotuFor playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs01:51
LjLkompute1: yes, of course, both festival and the voices can be obtained with apt-get or Synaptic. do an « apt-cache search festival » to list all the voices, or « apt-cache search festival english » for just the english ones01:51
robdigpedrotmartinez: do you have both a wireless card and a wired connection?01:51
naxaX-nor: I'm sorry to say that but sometimes linux's programmers are just plain stupid when it comes to the "human-friendly" thing01:51
Willabeeso following this tutorial should work right01:51
Willabeehttp://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/12/installing-wine-in-gutsy-gibbon.html01:51
pedrotmartinezI dont know the difference...01:51
naxaX-nor: no problem since I would suggest the patch to be added then :D01:52
silviodoes the ubuntu 7.10 desktop install/live cd include gcc?01:52
tritiumsilvio: no01:52
naxaX-nor: it would be easy to collect supporters, and someone would clean up the code01:52
kitchesilvio: yes but it's missing the stuff it needs to compile01:52
pedrotmartinezI am sorry but I am spanish, and maybe my english is not fine sometimes01:52
pedrotmartinezI do my best...01:52
X-nornaxa: also, check out gconf-editor. something might be hidden there, as the babied down configuration pages suggest01:52
tritiumsilvio: if you want to build from source, install the "build-essential" meta-package01:52
naxaX-nor: I'll rember that, thanks01:53
pedrotmartinezat this moment there is a wired connection in this room01:53
Willabeei speak spanish pretty well01:53
robdigpedrotmartinez: your iwconfig that you pasted earlier showed only two interfaces lo which is the loopback, and eth0. I'm curious if eth0 is your wireless card or if it is your normal ethernet card01:53
naxaX-nor: now i have to go, bye!01:53
metropinkowhen i enter my password for the update manager, i get this message: Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '50331651' '--progress-str' 'Please wait, this can take some time.' '--finish-str' 'Update is complete' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmpWFq6tx' as user root.01:53
metropinkoThe underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.01:53
metropinkoAnyone know what to do?01:53
pedrotmartinezoh01:53
silviook, thanks tritium and kitche. :(01:53
pedrotmartinezI think it is the ethernet one01:53
robdigpedrotmartinez: btw, you english is fine. there is a spanish channel if you want to seek help there, #ubuntu-es01:53
pedrotmartinezthe one I am connected right now01:53
Dr_willis_metropinko,  by default only the FIRST user you made has sudo rights. If you are trying to sudo as a differentuser. you might be getting that error.01:53
pedrotmartinezI have done, but there was no lucky01:54
pedrotmartinezbecause of that I came here01:54
naxaX-nor: thank you for talking!01:54
robdigpedrotmartinez: ok, so iwconfig isn't seeing your wireless card at all.01:54
metropinkois there anyway to find out what that username and password is?01:54
pedrotmartinezI think it doesn't01:54
robdigpedrotmartinez: does another interface show up if you type ifconfig?01:54

IndyGunFreakX-nor: thats blasphemy...lol02:13
LjLkompute1: oh, i thought you were on KDE given you tried kttsd etc... i don't know, i'm on KDE myself, it's possible that /dev/dsp is blocked by the GNOME sound daemon i guess02:13
IndyGunFreakpidgin is a great IM client.. not a good irc client02:14

WhyAllTehNicksTai'm getting "size mismatch" left and right... are the repos having some problems?02:17
otto_does ubuntu use a different adduser than other distros?02:18
rich1uggghhh!!! is anyone else having trouble playing yahoo chess using opera?02:18
kompute1LjL I'm looking for TTS - I have KSayIt to work, but theres a lot of echo in the voice02:18
nbeckI edited the root menu to adjust my splash screen to VGA=791 and  I put it in the wrong place.  Now my ubuntu will not boot up.  It's saying please append a correct "root=" and won't even start up in recovery mode.  I need somebody to go through the command errors I have written down and tell me how to edit out the VGA=791 if that's even possible.02:18
kitcheotto_: not that I know of they might have linked it to pam or soemthing02:18
otto_kitche, the man page on my gutsy box is different than the man pages anywhere else...specifically there are no singlechar options like -f02:19
woloYoyoyo anyone here using a PPC?02:19
X-norman -f02:19
LjLkompute1: echo? that's weird... Festival's voices certainly aren't top quality (not comparable to most commercial TTS, no), but *echo* is kind of weird02:19
X-norwhoops02:19
ShpookOkay, I have a chroot set up. Now when I type "sudo chroot /var/chroot/gutsy" in the terminal, I get this message: "id: cannot find name for group ID 120"02:19
nbeckIt's saying Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs ou unknown-block (8,3).02:19
nixnoobnbeck, you can edit the boot line on the fly from the grub menu using the "e" key on the appropriate kernel, once it boots you can then edit your /grub/menu.lst from the desktop environment02:19
X-norotto_: man man shows man -f as an option, though02:20
kompute1LjL any idea how I can use AT&T voices or other voices?02:20
nixnoobnbeck, you are trying to put the fancy bootsplash with the hand print huh? yes VGA=791 is supposed to be there.02:20
otto_X-nor, I was referring to the options on man adduser02:20
X-norotto_: oh, let me see02:21
nbeckYeah, but I think I inserted it in the wrong place because I can't even load anything anymore.02:21
nickrudotto_, the adduser in ubuntu comes from debian, which was written for debian02:21
nbeckI hit the E and deleted the vga=791 from the Kernel but it still won't boot up, and next time I restart it's still there.02:21
nixnoobnbeck, you must be able to get to grub menu?  you can hit escape to choose kernels and then edit its with "e"02:21
LjLkompute1, not really, i don't think they're supported by festival, i really think you'd have to resort to commercial third-party solutions02:22
nixnoobnbeck, ofcourse its still there, it only goes away for that one boot, you must have changed something else, try booting from single user mode.02:22
nbeckYeah, I did that and got rid of the vga part but it's still not booting.  It's only loading to kernel=panic-not synching VFS.02:22
kompute1LjL I swiched the audio from aRts to ALSA, that took away the echo02:22

Rufus_!desklet02:23
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about desklet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi02:23
X-norotto_: are you thinking about useradd, or just a different distro's adduser?02:23
soldatsRufus_, which one02:23
nixnoobnbeck when you hit esc to see the grub menu there should be a kernel listed with the same version as yours but it wil say recovery mode next to it02:23
Rufus_soldats, the one i downloaded02:23
nixnoobnbeck, just be careful because you will be logged in as root02:23
nbeckYeah, it runs the code and then stops at the same place.02:23
nickrudotto_, if you want to see it's pedigree, /usr/share/doc/adduser/copyright02:23
pradeepI have a program which needs an older version of libc02:23
nbeckKernel panic, unable to mount root fs ov unknown-block(8,3)02:23
otto_X-nor, well the man pages I found for adduser online were different than what was on gutsy...what I am trying to do is emulate the freebsd "adduser -f -"02:23
Rufus_any ideas?02:24
nixnoobnbeck, even in recovery mode?02:24
nbeckYeah02:24
otto_X-nor, which adds a user using the standard input instead of asking questions02:24
nixnoobnbeck, I have no idea then.02:24
soldatsRufus_, whats the name of desklet02:24
Rufus_DiskSpace02:24
nixnoobnbeck, try booting from a live disk and reinstalling grub02:24
rich1has anyone tried playing yahoo chess using opera?  this is killing me.02:24
jimmygoonyahoo chess?02:24

otto_X-nor, in short, I need to add a user from a script so it can't ask any questions02:25
nbeckalright.  One last question nix.  Can I write out my kernal and you see if there's any other flaw that stands out on it?02:25
Rufus_soldats, isnt there a thing in system > preferences?02:25
nickrudotto_, you are definitely confusing addusers, since the ubuntu one doesn't ask questions02:25
kompute1LjL I do, but I have no idea how to open orca...02:25
nixnoobnbeck , I have nothing to check it against right now cuz my nix box is temporarily out of commision but ill take a look02:26
soldatsRufus_, yes for disk space you should be able to go to administrator > system monitor for disk usage02:26

macdnickrud, doesnt useradd limit you to only a few accounts?02:26
Rufus_i mean to launch the desklet02:26
nixnoobnbeck, Is that the whole thing?02:26
nbeckyeah02:26
LjLkompute1: cannot help you must since i don't have GNOME... if it's not in the menu, you can always try « dpkg -L gnome-orca | grep bin » to see what the main executable program is02:26
X-norotto_: oh, you'll have to use useradd I believe02:26
macdnickrud, err adduser02:26
nixnoobnbeck try adding root= to the begining of that02:26
WhyAllTehNicksTayou people are no help02:26
soldatsRufus_, ahh if it didnt add itself to the menu thne youd have to add it yourself02:27
nbeckkay, I'll give it a shot.  Appreciated.02:27
Rufus_where can i find the menu02:27
nickrudmacd, what do you mean? it's designed for use in install scripts, so it can create any account02:27
X-normacd: useradd is the command line one, adduser is the interactive one02:27
otto_nickrud, sure it does, unless there is a way to specify... if I do "adduser user --disabled-login" it will still ask for the username and stuff02:27
soldatsRufus_, 1 sec02:28
otto_I'll read the useradd man page02:28

adamonline46I just got my file server ready to start moving files over.  I was thinking FTP for uploads, for the error checking/speed/filesize reasons.  At the same time I'd like to be able to map the drives from both Linux and WinXP, so I guess I'd need Samba, too, for the Windows aspect of it.  Is there a better protocol than Samba to use for Linux to Linux sharing? Does my plan sound alright?  Is there anyone who's got a fileserver and some ad02:28

maynards-girlwhat version of ubuntu do i need if I'm trying to install ubuntu on a macBook?02:29

mchao1nixnoob, thanks that seemed to work02:29
otto_but I just want to use a function to create a user with the name, homedir, and shell that I specify and NO password02:29
maekcan you do a purge like thing with autoremove? im removing amarok and its got like 20 pkgs left for autoremove and I want to make sure to get all there bits. thanks.02:29
nixnoobnbeck, sometimes the answer is simple.02:29
maekmaynards-girl: powerpc or intel?02:29
maynards-girlmaek, intel02:29
maekmaynards-girl: you should use x8602:29
maynards-girlmaek, ok thank you02:30
soldatsRufus_, justa quick question the the applet tell you how mych space you have left, if so ca you try to use nautilus and chack disk space, if not if you rclick on the task bar and add new item there may be a diskspace item02:30
adamonline46maynards-girl: Don't use the X64 version, your wireless won't work for now...02:30
X-norotto_: no password as in disabled account?02:30
maekmaynards-girl: called "standard" from the download page02:30
X-norotto_: -p : the default is to disable the account02:30
nixnoobX64 drivers usually suck.02:30
nickrudotto_, then you should probably use the --system option02:30
nixnoobor don't exist02:30
Rufus_soldats, find it?02:31
otto_it shouldnt be something a user can log in as02:31
maynards-girlso the norml 7.10 will work then?02:31
Burlynnmaynards-girl: yes.02:32
maekmaynards-girl: yeah, if you just go to the download page and pick your mirror, you want all the defaults.02:32
santos_luishi ppl02:32
robdighi02:32
nickrudotto_, so it's a system user, not a regular user , you probably want --system --no-login --no-create-home02:32
santos_luiscan someone help me with ctags?02:32
otto_but you should still be able to su into the account as root02:32
soldatsRufus_, hmm i dont know too much about it i was trying to think of a way for it to work. i havent used gnome in a while i use xfce but im trying to remember how to fix your problem, i used the applet before but i cant remember02:32
maynards-girlso not the 64bit. just the standard.  thanks all!02:32

soldatsill look into it02:32
Burlynnmaynards-girl: i would suggest reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook02:32
santos_luismy ctgas dont map functions like scanf socket02:33
nickrudotto_, then I don't think you can have --no-login, since that prevents a shell being assigned02:33
Burlynnmaynards-girl: your wireless more than likely wont work on a fresh install without additional drivers02:33
maynards-girlburlynn, thank you02:33
Burlynnno problem02:34
CUBeR64Hi, I was just wondering, if I had Xubuntu installed, would I be able to change the interface to blackbox rather than xfce?02:34
nickrudotto_, or more correctly, the shell is assigned to /bin/false02:34
otto_nickrud, the equivalent that I am trying to do is freebsd's adduser with '-w no' which disables the password...it seems like that is the same as --disabled-password on the ubuntu adduser02:34

Burlynntherethinker: it could, but its not reccomended .. your running on totally different hardware02:35
nickrudotto_, sounds similar. I don't have any experience with bsd at all, though02:35
otto_nickrud, neither do I :) that's why this is difficult to move over to ubuntu since I dont really know what the options do02:36

Dr_willis_phalacee,  now running the gnome and kde file managers both at the same time used to cause some issues.. but not much any more.02:48

Burlynnif your running gnome and install kde apps its got to install all the kde libs also though, which can be large, just an fyi02:49
Dr_willis_lextori,  look for any error messages also while it boots.02:49

BlaenkDenumDr_willis_: I'm writing a script in python03:01
BlaenkDenumDr_willis_: before, I was explicitly ignoring certain files like .svn, but I figured I would never be able to manually exclude all the hidden files that any given system could have03:01
Dr_willis_BlaenkDenum,  Python has full regrexp support thats a littel different from the shell. So it may take a little tweaking, - have it generate a list of all the .Whatever files, then trim out the . and .. entry03:02
BlaenkDenumDr_willis_: I'm using the zip command like I mentioned and it has an -S parameter which is to include hidden files and folders, the only problem is that it is implicit on UNIX systems and I can't find a way to turn it off03:02

Dr_willis_Konam,  You may need to chown the /home/whatevertheusernameis dir  if the uids have changed03:17
nickrudKonam, when you log in, what directory are you in?03:17
Willabeedoes anyone know how to set up japanese IME in gutsy/03:17
macdKonam, from within /home "sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser/*"03:17
Dr_willis_Konam,  ive never had issues with remaking the same user.  the old /home is from a ubuntu install ?03:17
WaYok, you have to pay for limewire :)03:18
Dr_willis_Konam,  now if the /home was from a Different Disrto. that can cause issues ive found. :)03:18
KonamDr_willis_ no, is from another ubuntu install03:18
Dr_willis_WaY,  well limewire wants $$$ :) They never got any from me.03:18
Konamthe macd command should make it03:18
nickrudKonam, the system uses numbers to identify the owner, and translates that to names from /etc/passwd. If the user you're keeping is not the first one you created on the prior install, then the numbers are gonna be different03:18
biff420has anyone had success getting the NVIDIA 169.07 driver to install and if so, are they any better than the original restricted drivers?03:19
Konamnickrud is the first, i create it during the ubuntu install03:19

freak_ubotu i don't use amsn, but if they don't have it (and i don't think they do) the reason it does not have voice chat with msn users is microsoft uses proprietary protocols. best thing to do is get them to use an sip client, or some other voice chat software that is more friendly with linux. i just stopped communicating that way when i switched to linux... that and get some linux friends to solve the problem.04:04

I've found several instructions over web, but my case seems to be a bit different and I am stuck. =) I am using Ubuntu 7.10 live DVD to boot from, ran install from it. I let it automatically partition the drive and told grub to install into sdb (which in my case was the external HDD). It seemed to work fine (my laptop HDD/MBR remain intact), except I can04:49

ShpookSo I think for the time being, I'll revert to ALSA, until PulseAudio has a 1.0.04:52
nickrudbiff420, looking closer, I see you have nvidia defined for one and nv for the other. No clue about that, either. Never used nvidia04:52
biff420nickrud: it was generated that way when i installed the resticted NVIDIA driver04:52
nickrudbiff420, oh, downloaded from nvidia?04:52
EDinNYgvsa123: some programs, like mail clients,  do some housekeeping when you shut them down04:52
Blazer11im in a pickle is there a way? tritium04:52
biff420nickrud: no just with ubuntu04:52
tritiumBlazer11: why would you want to replace Xorg with Xfree?04:53
biff420nickrud: i have sli too...not sure how that fits in either...since only one device is defined04:53
TigranGHi. Where are the gnome panel configuration files located?04:53
nickrudbiff420, no clue then. Like I said, I don't have nvidia now and when I did it was a lowly 5200 and I never got anything similar to that04:53
biff420nickrud: no worries...ill find an example sli xorg.conf somewhere04:53
gvsa123EDinNY: ok.. but when you logout/reboot/shutdown, do open applications get shutdown the proper way also? or do they get "forced quit" or something04:53

Blazer11well sort of, its bus id is right but it is in domain 0001 which xorg does not see04:55
EDinNYgvsa123: oh, now I see what you mean.  you can do a logout shutdown.  Most programs close correctly and will start next time you log in...at least in kde...but some programs like Evolution like to be shut down before you reboot04:55
ogrethanks04:55
gvsa123EDinNY: for example, shutting down while openoffice is runnign will cause the unrecovered document recovery thing to pop out the next time you use OOo... and leaving an open nautilus window will cause the next reboot to have an open window already popped up04:56

Gneaslugone: it executes the file as a shell script04:57
Blazer11no, im stuck because xorg will not scan multi pci domains, and xfree86 will, this what i found in ubuntu forums, but how do you use xfree86 when its not supported?04:57

Dr_willisKlrSpz,  check out that howto.. and i bet there are some gentoo wiki pages on the same topic.05:06
KlrSpzalthough you'd think there'd be a bridge plugin to the network manager05:06

troxorChrisULM: something like ssh -D ?05:08
Dr_willisRavingGriff,  I think there may be some issues with the 8500 card. They both should be using the same nvidia drivers  BUT the 8500 may be wanting the glx-new driver. not the normal glx one.05:08
jamescarrI am having trouble installing ... the live cd startup seems to hang on detecting hard drives... any idea whats up? The drives currently use the UFS (or is UHS) file format for BSD05:08

troxorChrisULM: which way?05:08

nickrudalexandroid, try to boot ? ;)05:11
Dr_willisKlrSpz,  if i rember the old way (it proberly hasent changed much) you enable the ipmasquerading with some echo command to set it up. then its like 1 or 2 iptables rules.05:12
KlrSpzalexandroid: it'll tell you once you tell grub to put it on the drive, as for bootable that's up to your bios to support booting usb devices05:12
KlrSpzah yeah like the forwarding node in the proc fs05:12

KlrSpzSpookyET: check out dstat, it should tell you what portion of your system is being hit when you feel those lags05:13
alexandroidwell, i tried booting from it. It seems not to work - blank screen. However I'd expect it to say "not bootable" in case of real problem. BIOS seems to support booting from USB (at least it is in the list of bootable devices)05:14
KlrSpzalso, when it does it you can watch your netstat if you're certain it's the network to see what it's tring to connect to05:14

adrian__HELP!! I have  a problem. when i rebooted my comp, it did the sda1 check. but it would not complete the check because it said it had trouble with loading a file called micronode-(random number). or something like that. and it would not let me got in to my home area. so i tryed some various recoverymodes and i finally got in, by just starting the recoverymode, and exitiing it. i think i might have been lucky this time, anyone knows what i05:15
adrian__can do to avoid hitting this problem in the future?05:15

bazhang!webmin05:21
ubotuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead05:21

WorkingOnWis1i have totally screwed up my gnome session somehow. If I log in to a gnome session, everything in the panels, and the panes themselves, crash, leaving me only the desktop, and alt-f2 to run apps. I can log into an E-Gnome session (gnome using enlightenment) and the default panels load and all is good. Whats the fastest way to get my regular Gnome defaults back?05:21
KlrSpzpr0nGuy: yeah cups in ubuntu is easy.. i think there's already a gnome tool under system called PRINTERS (i use xubuntu so i don't have all the tools) and you can set it up pretty easily in there.. worst case, look for what's called a PPD file (it's basically a printer driver for cups) for your specific printer or one like it, should work fine...05:21

GneaKlrSpz: it's basically like each network card is a hand, and when you bridge them, you're taking a very large mitton and placing it over both hands at once to keep them warm at the same time - the outside world doesn't see the hands, it just sees the mitton, therefore the only way to put an IP on the bridge is via the interface itself - snow and ice on the hands inside the mittons would not work, just like IP's on the main interfaces them05:40

pr0nGuyKlrSpz: I'm running Windows XP on Ubuntu via virtualbox.  Do I need to run updates and activate Windows?05:51
bazhangnickrud: hehe05:51
ridge-meisternickrud: that's a big file :) shouldn't that have been installed already?05:52
nickrudridge-meister, you're gonna run into a lot of issues compiling that, it'll keep saying you're missing libraries also05:52
adamonline46sunogbaga: No such luck :(05:52
bmwerkscan i get paid support for 7.10?05:52
adamonline46and that's the only ubuntu box with a GUI05:52
nickrudridge-meister, no, ubuntu isn't a compiling distro by defaut05:52

ridge-meisternickrud: what's going to give me issues?  gbrainy or build-essential ?05:53
gvsa123bmwerks: i though 8.04 was getting LTS05:53
nickrudridge-meister, gbrainy05:53
MenZabazhang: some companies just need to make sure they can get their support when they want it.05:53
AmaranthThat might work for awhile05:53

ubotugvsa123: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu05:53
bmwerksso im seeking other ways05:53
bazhangMenZa: sure, but here is more fun :}05:54
MenZaheh05:54
bazhangbmwerks: what is your question?05:54
sunogbagaadamonline46, how about from the same machine?05:54
gvsa123bmwerks: why not wait for 8.04 then get paid support :)05:54
Spaceman3750bazhang: OK, the Wiki says to use the Win98 drivers...  I'm confused, so NDISWrapper is used to run the Win98 drivers?05:54
Spaceman3750Or NDISWrapper IS the driver I should use?05:54
adamonline46sunogbaga: The same machine?  The server?05:54
nickrudridge-meister, rule of thumb: when it says it can't find a library (like gtk)   add  lib to the front and do:  apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev , the -dev files have the stuff you need to compile05:54
astro76gvsa123, it's by the year, it doesn't matter what version05:54
bazhangSpaceman3750: yes05:54
Spaceman3750bazhang: 1st or 2nd?05:54
sunogbagaadamonline46, yes05:55
gvsa123astro76: what's by the year? offering LTS?05:55
bmwerksits mostly with the gui when i change desktops i lose my icons and panels05:55
astro76gvsa123, canonical's support contracts05:55
bazhangSpaceman3750: to the first, thus the wrapper part of the name05:55
adamonline46sunogbaga: It would have to be by CLI... Do you know how I could go about that?05:55
stewarthow do i hide icons on the desktop?05:55
Spaceman3750So bazhang should I go ahead and install Gutsy and there's a very good chance I can get my wireless card working?05:55
gvsa123astro76: oh...05:55
sunogbagaadamonline46, oh!05:55
bazhangbmwerks: could you specify a bit more?05:55
ridge-meisternickrud: when you say add lib to the front do you mean "apt-get install -lib build-essential"?05:56
sunogbagaadamonline46, can you smbclient --lish=server_ip --no-pass05:56
=== _Kernel is now known as kernel
=== kernel is now known as Kernel
gvsa123astro76: so does giving LTS to a particular version of ubuntu mean that it's a version they think is the most stable or milestone?05:56
nickrudridge-meister, no. install build-essential, it has the compiler. Then when configure says it can't find a library, do like my example05:56
bazhangSpaceman3750: if you google rtl8187 gutsy you will get some excellent links on how to do it--I'm blogging atm or I would do it for you :}05:56
Spaceman3750bazhang: Thanks :)05:56
nickrudridge-meister, then install the package (like libgtk2.0-dev)05:57
bmwerksif i go to the second desktop or anyone of them the icons on the desktop disappear and the panels too i have to log out and sign in back to see them again05:57
tarelerulzI did tranfer with scp and the files which is .wav file will not play on the other system .  I did this scp file.wav  username@ip:/home/username/filename.wav . It transfers really fast . I am on wireless and I know it is not that fast. I have seen this happen on the web to when file tranfers to fast and it being missed05:57
astro76gvsa123, LTS refers mostly to the fact that it will get security updates for 5 years on server, 3 years on desktop, as opposed to 18 months for non-LTS05:57
rich1how do i set dolphin up to show hidden files by default?05:57
bazhangrich1: go to #kubuntu?05:57
astro76gvsa123, for everyone, nothing to do with the paid support05:57
gvsa123astro76: but how do they determine which version to give LTS to? i mean why 8.04 and not 7.10 or others?05:58
nickrudlooks like the ops will be busy tonight05:58
tumbleweed__lol05:58
astro76gvsa123, duno, 6.06 was the first, 8.04 is two years later, it has to be within a 3 year window so they can support LTS -> LTS upgrades05:58
bazhangbmwerks: the second desktop? are you using compiz?05:58
rich1bazhang: thanks.05:58

gvsa123astro76: i see... and LTS is only for updates? not upgrades? like new versions of software (OOo, FF, etc..)05:59
ridge-meisternickrud: i never saw your example, all i recall you saying was to add lib to the front, but that doesn't make any sense to me :)05:59
bazhangHippotamus: from an iso, or to make video dvds or other05:59
bmwerksbazhang: yeah i am06:00
nickrudridge-meister,  rule of thumb: when it says it can't find a library (like gtk)   add  lib to the front and do:  apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev , the -dev files have the stuff you need to compile06:00

ridge-meisternickrud what specifically do i type when adding lib to the front?  i'm confused06:00
bazhangHippotamus: right click open with cd/dvd creator does not work?06:01
ridge-meisternickrud:okay06:01
bmwerksbazhang: no i havent, ill try that06:01
gvsa123astro76: ah... so if the repos function longer, then i guess that means that newer versions of software that make it into the repos, will be part of the upgrades... meaning, you'll get to upgrade OOo via update manager06:01

bazhangHippotamus: try that first06:02
astro76gvsa123, no, with any time-based release distro (as opposed to rolling release), each version only gets security updates and critical bugfixes, no new versions06:02
phosphoricxSneaks: what's the problem?06:02

phosphoricxnickrud: typo, sorry :-p06:02
gvsa123astro76: no new versions for software you mean? such that you wouldn't have gotten OOo 2.3 if you stuck with fiesty?06:03
sunogbagaadamonline46, from the client06:03
nickrudridge-meister, If I'm not around, ask for help in identifying development headers06:03

sunogbagaadamonline46, it didn't work from the client?06:04

sunogbagaadamonline46, try visiting the shared folder from  places->nework->06:05
SneaksOk, but menu.lst refers to files in /boot/grub.  7.10 is not in that directory.  It is on a separate partition and I can't even mount that partition?  Don't know how?06:05

GOP_Primaries"Last year the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court struck a blow against the family, as I'm sure you know. The court forgot that [traditional] marriage is first and foremost about nurturing and developing children. Its ruling meant that our society is supposed to be indifferent about whether children have a mother and a father."06:31

iamlindoro_Hi all, setting up software raid on Gutsy... Just a quick question with some experience with with... as all array members are USB drives, I have set udev rules so that everything gets symlinked to the same /dev/sd* nodes...

kevin_bazhang, I have to return it anyway I think. do you know how to get a raw dump of the disc and work out the proper file format later?07:19
Gneai've tried sun-java6-plugin,  sun-java5-plugin and now icedtea-java7-plugin07:19
GneaXplicit: yes, everything is from apt-get/synaptic07:19
Gneai check in about:plugins and i see that it's there07:19
bazhangkevin_: for now it is safe from that kind of thing, not really the channel to discuss it in07:20
Gneaand yet... it simply does not work when i try to bring up a java-based app in firefox07:20
kevin_bazhang, what would be07:20
Gneai get the error: "please install java, you are moron."07:20
nickrudoh, it must be tired of you ;)07:20
Gneawell, it better change its attitude quick if it wants to live through the night ;)07:21
iknowbobi'm a bit of a noob to ubuntu.  how do i go about disabling them?07:21
nickrudGnea, a really silly question, but do you have java enabled in the prefs?07:21

Gneanickrud: ha, i hadn't checked yet - doing now07:21

bharadwajis there any other channel for my problem with games?07:31
nickrudI gotta go, Singalong will be back (maybe) with an ifconfig and route -n . His windows connects wired, ubuntu doesn't. Probably not getting gateway info from the router. Could someone set him up with a static config?07:31
astro76Gnea, did you try with a new firefox profile?07:31

alexandroidhi, could you plz tell me how to enter rescue mode using live DVD for 7.10?07:32
alexandroidwhat i see is the same as described on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20218407:32
bharadwajrichd: oh yeah but i have a problem with my graphics and  interface of the game its very sluggish07:32
richdbharadwaj: what card type do you have?07:33
richdati? nv?07:33
WGGMkis it possible to Remote Desktop to a NON GUI Ubuntu Server???07:33
astro76alexandroid, what are you trying to do?07:33
bharadwajrichd: non in particular i have an inbuilt 64Mb video memory of i845G series07:33
Kevin`WGGMk, yes07:34
richdbharadwaj: ouch, integrated is hard stuff07:34
Kevin`WGGMk, you will of course need gui programs and libraries installed on it, which I would not do for a server07:34
bharadwajrich: yeah i know i tried evry damn shit available in the internet and in the forums07:34
alexandroidastro76: I am trying to install ubuntu on usb ext drive following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8081107:35
wyWhich script is run before the window system starts after user login? I'm trying to put an environment variable in that can be viewed by the programs on the main menu07:35
bharadwajrichd: and know what i almost come here very often with only this problem07:35
bharadwajrichd: did you try ubuntu forums?07:36
brophatmy add/remove applications thing has BitTorrent checked, which I assume means it is installed, but I can't find it in the applications menu. Anyone know where it is supposed to be?07:36
astro76alexandroid, looks like you need to use the alternate cd07:36
astro76!alternate | alexandroid07:36
ubotualexandroid: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal07:36
richdbharadwaj: man, i try ubuntu forums, debian forums, new articles and /. forums07:36
richdbut to no avail07:36
alexandroidastro76: but live DVD should include both install + alternate cds, right?07:37
WGGMkKevin`: is it possible for clients to remote desktop into a virtual machine (while the server still has NO GUI)???07:37
alexandroidastro76: ...and I do not have CD-R to burn CD ISO on =\07:37
bazhangrichd: is this native linux or through wine?07:37
richdbazhang: native. used the dvd shell installer07:38
Kevin`WGGMk, no local gui, yes07:38
bharadwajrichd: i hope we get a solution very fast i just can't wait to play any full fledged game in lunux07:39

frederick85hi i'm on xubuntu and trying to mount windows shares with pyNeighborhood it says can't mount the files on it though07:39

frederick85the shared files on the windows computer07:39
frederick85but it can find them07:39
bazhangrichd: unreal tournament 3? or other07:39
Kevin`WGGMk, virtual machine means nothing to this, unless you use the vm software for remote control in some respect (which I would only do for admins)07:39
richdbazhang: 200407:40
richdonly have a 32 MB video card...07:40
bazhangrichd: tournament?07:40
richdyeah07:40
alexandroidastro76: maybe you could describe me what rescue mode looks like? when "rescue mode" sign actually appears?07:41
Gneaastro76: same problem persists with the new profile07:41
Gneaastro76: i went through and made sure that just the icedtea version is the only one installed now07:41
Gneathen i made the new profile07:41
WGGMkKevin`: what im trying to achieve, is the ability for specific clients to be able to USE/RUN virtual machines across a VPN or locally.. remote desktop seems like the only logical solution for the VPN side07:41
Kevin`WGGMk, remote desktops don't need to use the physical display for anything, you can have any number of remote displays without showing them locally07:41
abhiis there any nice util that i can use to grab a website?07:41
Gneaabhi: wget, curl07:42
Kevin`WGGMk, what vm software are you using07:42
richdbharadwaj: hey, check out http://packages.debian.org/etch/xserver-xorg-video-i81007:42
astro76alexandroid, you type rescue at the grub prompt on the alternate cd07:42
richdit has a package that should do it07:42
richdmaybe07:42
richdhave you already done something like that?07:42
bazhanghttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=237046 richd look at post #6 in that thread07:42
abhiGnea: i want to get not just the page but also the links it points to07:42
richdk07:43
WGGMkKevin`: right now im just in the planning process. But specifically vmware server or esx caught my attention07:43
alexandroidastro76: but i mean does it look like regular installer in the beginning or it is completely different?07:43
Gneaabhi: read the manpages, they explain what all of the options do07:43
richdbazhang: will try that07:43
WGGMkKevin`: my server has NO GUI, and honestly I have no intention or desire to install a GUI or any related GUI libraries07:43
Kevin`WGGMk, vmware server (and I think esx if you like spending money) already include remote console function07:44
j2daoshwhat does a b mean in an ls -ltr? (br--r-----)07:44
richdbharadwaj: does that package look like it might work?07:44
Xplicitdoes the alt install cd need a working internet conection?07:44
GneaWGGMk: my server has no gui either, but i can run a vpn tunnel and export the display over that to run X apps remotely :)07:44
Kevin`WGGMk, if you want to run gui applications on the server (remote or otherwise) you need them to be installed, and for their supporting libraries to be installed, doesn't matter where they display07:44
X-noranyone know why xubuntu has xclient script as the primary option in GDM, yet there appears no xclient in /etc/X11, etc?07:44
astro76alexandroid, it will boot you to a prompt with Rescue Mode at the top07:45
BlaenkDenumis there a way to generate an md5sum of all files in a directory?07:45
Kevin`md5um *07:45
GneaWGGMk: he's right, you can have x libs installed and not run a GUI - you just need them on the server to support displaying them elsewhere - it's not much of a performance hit at all07:45
BlaenkDenumI didn't see anything on that in the man page but I used to do it07:45
BlaenkDenumoh thanks Kevin`07:45
alexandroidastro76: ic, thanks!07:45
WGGMkKevin`: maybe you misunderstood. I dont want them to be able to remote desktop into the server. I want clients to be able to remote desktop into the virtual guest on the server07:45
astro76alexandroid, just a shell prompt on virtual console 107:46
X-nori recall switching xfwm4 to compiz but now I can't figure out what the heck I changed07:46
ogrei want a pony07:46
Kevin`WGGMk, then you either need remote desktop support in the vm software or remote desktop server software installed on each vm07:46
X-norworks, but I also need to change some other stuff07:46
WGGMkKevin`: i retract the misunderstanding part, I prolly didnt explain things specifically enough.07:46
GneaWGGMk: make sure the IP of the virtual server is accessible from the outside and set your security options within that environment properly to accept them07:46
Gneaanyways07:47
Gneajava still isn't working.07:47
bharadwajrichd: idin get you07:47
Xplicitdoes the alt install cd need a working internet conection?07:47
WGGMkKevin`: you wouldnt happen to know if the VMWare Server or esx have remote desktop support do you?07:47
richdbharadwaj: ?07:47
richddid you get my link?07:48
X-norXplicit: no, I installed it fine with no network until I could build my driver07:48
richdhttp://packages.debian.org/etch/xserver-xorg-video-i81007:48
richdyou can search for that package in your package manager and it might fix your prob07:48
bazhangthat is a debian source richd; best to go with one from packages.ubuntu.com07:48
wyI wish I could draw a picture in the code07:48
Kevin`WGGMk, the vmware server console is natively networked and can be used remotely. I haven't used esx as I can't afford it. vmware workstation has vnc server support but probably is not a good choice for a server,07:49
Xplicitok thx i tought it was stuck at 6% but its jumped to 21%07:49
richdbazhang: i agree, but that package should be in ubuntu07:49
X-norXplicit: but you'll have to use apt-cd to get build-essential and all07:49
Kevin`WGGMk, qemu has vnc server support, xen I don't know, virtualbox I don't know07:49
bharadwajrichd: you playin it in wine?07:49
richdi just found it on the deb package search07:49
richdbharadwaj: nah. I figured mine out07:49
richdtrying to hepl you now07:49
Xplicitits ok once its up ill switch my cable over to it07:49
bazhangrichd: that may break his system--best not to advise it07:49
richdbazhang: i want him to use the ubuntu package manager to search for that package07:50
Spaceman3750I have ndiswrapper installed.  I installed the correct driver for my wireless card into ndiswrapper.  However, the GUI I installed says that the card for the driver I installed doesn't exist.  Any advice?07:50
WGGMkKevin`: so VMWare Server would install on the physical server and can be managed by a web interface correct (because the server has no GUI)07:50
j2daoshis there a sco unix channel?07:50

m0u5ewhats the difference between gutsy backports and proposed?07:56
richdcan't spell, sorry07:56
X-norrichd: don't need to change that unless I have to go to old fashioned xinitrc07:56
scguy318m0u5e: backports are backports from newer repos, proposed is proposed updates07:56
richdX-nor: i thought that was what you were trying to do07:57
WGGMkKevin`: sorry for my ignorance here.. But lemme get this straight... VMWare Server installs on the server or host machine.. and VMWare Server Console BUILDS or CONNECTS to the VM on the server/host machine???07:57
adamonline46richd: Well, I can access the shares from my Windows box, if that's what you mean.  I have myself added as an SMB user...07:57
bazhangdoes a #vmware exist?07:57
Gneabazhang: what happens if you join it?07:57
X-norrichd: was trying to set what commands the Xclient script (which GDM claims exists) actually runs07:57
m0u5escguy318: what's a backport then? :X07:57
bazhangGnea: you first :}07:57
Kevin`WGGMk, the console connects to the server and allow you to do all management functions (except start the server) and use vms07:58
richdadamonline46: but maybe on the linux box, it asks to access it and the windows says bah, not high enough security. do you type in a pw for it?07:58
X-norrichd: it probably has little to do with X clients07:58
Gneabazhang: lol i'm not the one who wants to know07:58
morstim trying to ./configure apache, and i get the message "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" and then "configure failed for srclib/apr"07:58
bazhangGnea: haha07:58
Kevin`bazhang, yes07:58
scguy318m0u5e: taking a package from newer repo and having it work on an older release07:58
bazhangthanks Kevin`07:58
X-norrichd: actually it does - which ones get started automatically. but i've had no luck finding this script, which locate xclient, locate Xclient, etc turn nothing up07:58
yuaokiHi I've got a Sharp Mebius laptop and I do not know what kind of memory chip to get , I've tried it with my macbook chip and the shape does not match how can I look it up?07:58

timfrostmorst: Have you installed build-essential?07:59
richdX-nor: ohhh07:59
Gneaastro76: thanks for the help, i'm just gonna sleep on it and try again later07:59
m0u5escguy318: so proposed is like a pre-released update then? or something that's planned for hardy?07:59
morsttimfrost, whats that?07:59
richdadamonline46: wierd... I'm assuming its not network error or anything like that07:59
WGGMkKevin`: so using VMWare Server Console allows you to connect to the VMWare Server and manage/use VM's?07:59
Kevin`yuaoki, that's pretty basic information, manufacturer's page should have it. otherwise take a picture of it07:59
X-nori'll be stuck prolly installing a filename index and searching for my =compiz07:59
adamonline46richd: I don't think so.  I can see the smb server if I do "smbclient --list <svr_ip> --no-pass08:00
timfrostmorst: it is a package that pulls in compiler tools.  But why are you compiling apache, rather than using the packages that are in the repository?08:00
richdadamonline46: wierd...08:00
m0u5escguy318: sorry just one more question, do proposed updates have lower quality specs than stuff in the normal repos? is it any less stable08:00
Kevin`WGGMk, yes, vmware server has no local gui unless you run the console locally08:00
X-norproblem I've had with gnome - there's a million ways to set something up, only one actually commits the change08:00
adamonline46richd: Quite... I dunno what to do :/08:00
X-norand one leaves trash that you'll find later08:00
morsttimfrost: so there is an easier way, how do i get the repository packages?08:00
Kevin`WGGMk, since this software is beer-free, you would be best served trying it yourself..08:01

WGGMkKevin`: dude your the man.. sorry for all the nagging questions haha.. thank you very much for the information08:02
X-norrichd: which is one of the x clients getting started from one of the session scripts of one of the DMs, (well, I know it's GDM in this case)08:02

MyrttiAvt: well, basically update and upgrade should be enough unless you want to upgrade them to a version dapper repos don't have08:07
MyrttiAvt: what have you done basically08:07
AvtMyrtti can you see my tut and tell me what im missing?08:07

Avtmyrtti here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53649108:10
dhcplessWGGMk i've been struggling with this DHCP3 server for days now....08:10
dhcplessBenalex, how are you trying to install ? VMserver or player?08:12
MyrttiAvt: first of all, forget all the "sudo su"-stuff08:12
Benalexdhcpless: player... from add/remove08:12
dhcplessBenalex, do you have VMserver installed?08:13
Benalexnope08:13
Avtmyrtti realy?08:13
dhcplessBenalex, mmmm...is your sources list in order?08:13
MyrttiAvt: well yes. doing it with all the command still having sudo in front of them equals into nothing at all08:14
Benalexdhcpless: mmm.. not sure... I have enabled all package type main, universe, ..etc08:14
dhcplessBenalex, what happens when you run sudo apt-get update?08:14
MyrttiAvt: and doing "sudo su" can be replaced by other commands, safer than it.08:14
Avtok I need to change be right back08:15
Avtsorry08:15
Benalexdhcpless: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49773/08:15
ifireballdhcpless: your problem seems to be on line #1, looks out of place to me08:16
Avtback08:16
dhcplessifireball, this is because i have several interfaces (vmware..) notice that the error refers to another line08:17
timfrostBenalex: are you trying to install vmware player from a .deb package, or from the tarball?08:17
bryanwhat is the command to get the UUID for a disk drive?08:17
dhcplesstimfrost, he is trying with add/remove...08:17
Benalextimfrost: no... from Add/remove08:17
Myrttibrb08:18
dhcplessBenalex, your sources look ok, sorry cant help you ,never installed vmware with add/remove. I always installed the tar ball from vmware website08:19
ifireballdhcpless: it does, but there are only comments between the 2 lines, and typically you get "missing <line terminator>" errors on the next things that comes along where the terminator should be, e.g. the next non-comment line...08:19
timfrostBenalex: OK, I missed that. there is NOT an ubuntu package for vmware player for gutsy.   That is the reason for the error.  You need to install the tarball08:19
RamYi have problems installing ubuntu08:19
dhcplessifireball, you suggest commenting the 1st line?08:19
ifireballdhcpless: still it doesn't look like its consistent with the file format to me, so I'm man-ing it for a bit08:19
RamYi can't partition drive to install ununtu08:20
dhcplessifireball, actually i got it off a web HOWTO08:20
=== loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas
Benalexdhcpless,timfrost... installing from tarballs is a plain pain.. and I can't do it... I appreciate if you drive me to some instruction to do so.. because ./confiure make make install doesn't work08:20
RamYi have problems installing ubuntu08:20
RamYi can't partition drive to install ununtu08:20
ifireballdhcpless: looks like its setting an environment variable to me08:20
vallhalla81ramy do you have a os installed?08:21
dhcplessBenalex, I never installed vmplayer , but i have vmserver on many machines , there is an excellent HOWTo in Ubuntu forum, I can google it for you if you wish...08:21
RamYi have windows intalled08:22
dhcplessifireball, what do you mean?08:22
BenalexRamY.. how are you doing partitioning?08:22
RamYi dont' have ubuntu os installed08:22
RamYi have live cd thingy08:22
=== bojan is now known as SeveredCross
Benalexdhcpless: thank you08:22
vallhalla81ok i gues you are hoping to kep windows??08:22
timfrostBenalex: for vmware player, you need to install build-essential, then unpack the tarball and run 'sudo ./vmware-install.pl' in the main directory of the unpacked tar archive.  You don't go through the configure/make/make installprocess08:22
RamYyes vallhalla8108:22
RamYi have alot of important files on the drive08:23
dhcplessBenalex, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209&highlight=vmware08:23
vallhalla81ok you will need a program to set a partition for you08:23
ifireballdhcpless: I meant the formant of the line looks exactly like a bash command to setup an environment variable, not like a dchpd.conf directive, is line #33 yours as well?08:23
Greevoushow do cd into hidden directories in the terminal08:23
dhcplessifireball, the line that begins with what? (33)08:24
RamYgparted?08:24
Greevoushow do I* cd...08:24
nicolahHow do I exit from vi ?08:24
ifireballdhcpless: DHCPDARGS08:24

vallhalla81GParted or QTParted should work08:24
RamYGparted wouldn't work i get an error08:25
RamYshould i try qtparted?08:25
dhcplessifireball,  ahh. yesterday when it didnt work i came to the IRC and someone suggested that ....08:25
dhcplessifireball, i basically followed this : http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_dhcp.html08:25
vallhalla81hmm how many drives do you have/.08:25
RamY2 drives08:25
dhcplessifireball, i want DHCP3 to boot PXE install08:25
RamY10 GB for windows and 70GB for files08:25
RamYused by windows08:26
gingersnapyay! there are ppl still on that are still awake!08:26
RamYi have about 50GB free space08:26
vallhalla81then why not move all windows things to 1 fdrive and linux on the other?08:26
gingersnapi was wondering if anyone here uses virtualbox?08:26
ifireballdhcpless: are you planning on the server doing DNS as well?08:26
RamYbecause windows is not very stable, and sometime i get viruses and i have to reinstall windows08:27
bazhangsome do gingersnap08:27
dhcplessifireball, no, just serving boot image to a client -thats it08:27
gingersnapi need alittle help and the vbox channels are .. well dead08:28
vallhalla81ok there is the option to run windows from linux using vmware you know?08:28
Myrttimmmm breakfast. Avt you still there08:28
bazhanggingersnap: they usually are :}08:28
Benalextimfrost: thank you... working like charm.... I should read more about linux executable files08:28
ifireballdhcpless: yeah, like I thought, line #1 should've gone into /etc/default/dhcp3-servr, not dhcpd.conf08:28
Avtmyrtti yes :D08:28
Benalexdhcpless: thanks for your help08:28
Avtyou smeel the food also hehe08:28
RamYthat i don't know of vallhalla8108:29
ifireballdhcpless: and you don't need line #3308:29
MyrttiAvt: so what was your original problem again, the backup or firefox updates08:29
gingersnapi know there are other programs besides virtualbox.. but my issue is that I can't uninstall it08:29
nicolahthanks08:29
vallhalla81ok lets you run a install of windows from within ubuntu08:29
dhcplessifireball, THANK YOU , commenting the 1st line did the trick!08:29
Avtmyrtti I think I forgot to post on there how to update firefox and flash im pretty sure08:29
dayaanyone have idea how to modify splashy themes using usplash08:29
dhcplessBenalex, welcome...08:30
ifireballdhcpless: basically the fact that it doesn't LOOK like anything else in the file should've given you a hint...08:30
dhcplessifireball, do you have experience in PXE booting?08:30
RamYi'm only trying to isntall ubuntu at the moment not windows08:30
ifireballdhcpless: yeah, kinda08:30
bazhangdhcpless: so you can change your nick now? :}08:30
vallhalla81you could try it that way and have your second disk as a storage device so your files are safer08:30
Avtmyrtti im just trying to make it complete so I can add my gutsy howto08:30
RamYi did a partition, do i need to name the new partitioned drive?08:30
MyrttiAvt: the normal upgrade procedure should be enough unless you really really want to update them to a version not in dapper repos08:30
vallhalla81no the set up will do it for you08:31
RamYfilesystem name is allocated08:31
dhcplessbazhang, my next nick TFTPless08:31
Avtmyrtti which is08:31
bazhangdhcpless: hahaha08:31
RamYso i should apply settings only now?08:31
dhcplessifireball, can you recommend a HOWTo? i read about 6 all somewhat different...08:32
vallhalla81yes i think so08:32
RamYSee the details for more information.08:32
RamYIMPORTANT08:32
RamYIf you want support, you need to provide the saved details!08:32
RamYSee http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information.08:32
RamYan error occured08:32
bazhangugh08:32
ifireballdhcpless: nope. my only recommendation would be to READ ALOT and UNDERSTAND what you are doing, blindly following HOWTOs never works08:32
Avtmyrtti man whats the normal update procedure08:32
MyrttiAvt: dapper currently has 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.14~prepatch071125a-0ubuntu108:32
Avtfor dapper08:33
ifireballdhcpless: tftp is easy though, you afaik just install it, and pot the right files in /tftpboot08:33
dhcplessifireball, great advice....this is a great leap for me, i just have this laptop with no CD, no floppy no USB and Win2k I need to save it08:33
MyrttiAvt: sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude upgrade08:33
RamYdid u get that vallhalla81?08:34
AvtI dont need to add firefox or anythin to it?08:34
ifireballdhcpless: in that case you use something like knoppix that has PXE setup scripted out of the box08:34
ompaul!paste | RamY08:34
ubotuRamY: 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)08:34
dhcplessifireball, you mean as PXE server? my laptop client has no CD....08:35
ifireballthough I thought Ubuntu had something like that too on the liveCD08:35
RamYanyway08:35
ifireballdhcpless: yeah, knoppix has an option to boot on one machine and then boot the other machines with PXE over the network08:35
vallhalla81just looking at it ramy08:36
dhcplessifireball, really ? knoppix is amazing.....08:36
ifireballdhcpless: yeah its a rather nifty feature, edubuntu might have that as well though08:36
SeveredCrossWell, it uses the standard Debian base...08:36
SeveredCrossYou could easily do that kinda setup with any Debian distro.08:36
vallhalla81ramy does it show on your drive as a partition?08:37
SeveredCrossIt's not really a Knoppix-specific thing. They're just the only ones that have done it so far.08:37
dhcplessifireball, ok thank you for your help ,,,,next step TFTP08:37
RamYbefore i click apply?08:37
RamYit says unallocated08:37
vallhalla81yes08:37
MyrttiAvt: nope08:37
Avtty08:37
squarebracketi keep on getting permission denied for running /usr/sbin/sshd even though i'm root. can anyone tell me why?08:38
MyrttiAvt: those commands actually upgrade your *whole* system to up to date08:38
vallhalla81ok have you tryed making the partiton from windos so it is just a blank space and install to theat so setup can set the files for you?08:38
Avtwhat I dont need it updating the kernal08:38
killerfaultierIs courier-authlib-mysql the same as courier-authmysql?08:38
Avtit could mess up my video card driver08:38
ifireballSeveredCross: I know and HAD done that with Debian, but you can't expect newbes to easily jump through all the hoops of a dhcp/tftp/pxelinux/nfs-root install easily...08:39
RamYno i haven't tried partitioning from windows08:39
timfrostsquarebracket: what do you get from the command 'ls -l /usr/sbin/sshd' ?08:39
SeveredCrossTouche.08:39
vallhalla81i think it may be worth giving that a go08:39
MyrttiAvt: hrmmm08:39
RamYthe problem is, if i partition from windows using the CD's that came with PC, i lose everything on the drive with saved files in it08:40
RamYcan i give the new partitioned drive a name, on filesystem?08:40
vallhalla81you should be able to08:41
RamYwhat should i put for filesystem?08:41
RamYlunix-swap?08:41
RamYor something else08:41
dhcplessifireball, one howto suggest i start tftpd server via inetd , another doest , what are the advantages of inetd?08:41
vallhalla81lunix-swap should be ok08:42
ifireballdhcpless: if you you just want to boot that one PC I really recommend you use Knoppix, setting up PXP manually is a LOT of work that was meant only to be done by sysadmins setting up dozens of workstations08:42
=== chaky_ is now known as chaky
ifireballdhcpless: no advantages to inetd, but you should just stick with what the tftpd package does by default08:43
squarebrackettimfrost: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 404184 2007-09-17 19:25 /usr/sbin/sshd08:43

anton_How to check gateway IP in ubuntu?08:44

squarebrackettimfrost: but i'm doing all of this via ssh... i wanted to change the port so that i could ssh to it without having to go through another computer on the network08:45
vallhalla81stuck for idears now sory08:46
RamYthat's ok, thank you anyway :D08:46
dhcplessifireball, ok thank you for your help , i want to google to knoppix boot PXE option now08:46
ifireballdhcpless: can does that laptop has a USB port?08:46
vallhalla81ok good luck08:46
dhcplessifireball, it has but does not boot from USB08:46
goukiAnyone here has OpenArena installed and is willing to help me out testing my server?08:47
bazhangramy gone?08:47
ifireballdhcpless: how about a CDROM drive?08:47
timfrostsquarebracket: if there is an existing connection to port 22, the server won't be able to restart on that port.  Have you changed the port number in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?08:47
dhcplessifireball, nope08:47
dhcplessno floppyeither08:47
ifireballdhcpless: you may be able to install GRUB on the MBR with knoppix and then chain-load the installer from USB08:48
dhcplessifireball, look : http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/ss/02012120/index_j.htm08:48
squarebrackettimfrost: yes i have changed the port number both in ssh_config and sshd_config... is there any way i can start it again on another port remotely?08:48
ifireballdhcpless: pretty... but useless I guess...08:48
macdsquarebracket, if its changed both places, restarting ssh should make that active, but you'll loose your active connection, so use something like screen to issue the restart in08:49
ifireballdhcpless: how did they intend for you to factory-restore the OS if you ever need to?08:49
dhcplessifireball, it is sold by bulk to companies. Toshiba takes care of any problems08:50
psyferrehey folks, hope everyone is doing well.  Has anyone setup ejabberd and jwchat on ubuntu that also might have a few minutes to give me a shove in the right direction?  I'd really appreciate it :)08:50
dhcplessifireball,  my friend got when his company upgraded to a new Toshiba08:50
ifireballdhcpless: then it would be nice to figure out what the Toshiba guys do, there must be a way to boot a windows install on it08:50
ifireballdhcpless: would a USB CD-ROM work?08:51
bazhangdhcpless: how old is that computer?08:51
squarebracketmacd: i don't mind losing the active connection, so long as i can get back in once it's restarted... how would i do that, exactly?08:51
vallhalla81dhcpless does it have a cd drive?08:51
dhcplessifireball, they take the HD out ,install a ghost image and boot it. no CD drive, It's about 5 years old08:51
dhcplessi mean they copy a ghost image unto the hD08:52
=== Benalex is now known as Mohamed
ifireballdhcpless: I suppose you could do that too if you have another laptop...08:52
vallhalla81then usb or remove the drive is the only option08:52
timfrostsquarebracket: you can explicitly speciofy a different port number with the -p option - for example ' sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -p 44'08:52
vallhalla81or buy a usb cd/dvd drive08:52
dhcplessifireball, the problem is that the HD is not standard08:52
ifireballdhcpless: oh..08:53
rhetorichi, anyone know how i can setup a basic file share between two ubuntu computers on a basic-dumb-hub?08:54
malignityhow do i turn off join/part notices in pidgin?08:54
rhetoricall the guides ive found are from like 2-3 years ago, and assume i know the local IP of my other computer08:54
Myrttimalignity: there's a plugin for that08:55
ifireballdhcpless: anyway, try using knoppix, any maybe the chain-load thing (I'm not that sure that grub can boot things off USB, I've been meaning to try that lately but didn't get around to it)08:55
squarebrackettimfrost: i just tried that, but i get a "no route to host" error08:55

malignityMyrtti: do you know which one?08:55
malignitynevermind :)08:56
timfrostsquarebracket: from sshd?08:56
Myrttimalignity: you can get it by installing the pidgin plugins from the repositories, I can't remember the name though08:56
malignitythanks08:56
rhetoricthis is the first thing that is actually easier in windows :/08:56
malignityit's called join/part hiding heh08:56
MyrttiI don't believe in pidgin being an IRC client08:56
rhetoricwindows to setup a basic file share i "share folder" then mount hostname:/share08:56

rhetoricit says computername has no ip09:02
rhetoricbasically it says huh? hostname? wtf?09:02
ifireballrhetoric: with samba it should be simple matter of navigating the share with Nautilus09:02
macdsquarebracket, you restarted sshd yet? or did you start another sshd without stopping the first one?09:02
ifireballrhetoric: to use the IP...09:02
bazhanghttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy rhetoric scroll down for samba09:02

rhetoricifireball, im a noob and dont know the ip09:03

squarebracketmacd: i called /etc/init.d/sshd restart a while ago, it stopped the service, but i got a permission denied error on the restart09:03
jxxxtRamy, I do not know the answer to your problem but I am sure if you continue banging around in the dark you will wreck one or both of your systems. Stop and study for a while..09:03
macdsquarebracket, then it didnt stop, you need to issue that as sudo.09:03
ifireballrhetoric: well, what are your 2 machine connected through?09:03
rhetorici cant seem to find any local IP, the computers each have their OWN internet IP and are on a cheap hub09:03
timfrostsquarebracket: does 'netstat -nta | grep LIST' on the server show the new port?   On gutsy, I get a line like "tcp6       0      0 :::44                   :::*                    LISTEN ".  What do you see?09:03
squarebracketmacd: i'm running as root09:03
macdsquarebracket, ohh, and its /etc/init.d/ssh restart, not sshd09:04
rhetoricifireball, you saw that last message forgot to include your name?09:04
macdsquarebracket, but before you do that, you need to launch a screen session09:04
macdsquarebracket, or the command will NOT finish and you may be stuck out09:04
rhetoricifireball, i cant seem to find any local IP, the computers each have their OWN internet IP and are on a cheap hub09:04
ifireballrhetoric: essentially what you're saying is that your problems my be connectivity related and have nothing to so with samba or nfs...09:04
theteacherWander_w, i want to install ubuntu from usb flashdisk. no cdrom on the pc. the pc cant boot from usb flashdisk. so i want to go to terminal by floppy n boot the alternate cd. how bout it?09:04

macdsquarebracket, like "screen" "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart", then ssh back in like "ssh -p 44 user@host"09:05
ifireballrhetoric: how are they connected to the internet?09:05
RamYthen someone said to use vmware and i don't know how to use that09:05
rhetoricifireball, through a basic cheap a** hub (sends all packets to all connected devices)09:05
webspideruscan anyone help me get Desktop Effects running on ubuntu 7.10? I added the restricted drivers and tried to follow a few tutorials, but when I try to enable any Visual Effects, I simply get a message 'Desktop effects can not be enabled' (or something to that effect)09:05
rhetoricnot a router, not even a switch, just a hub, with 2 pcs09:06
squarebrackettimfrost: ya, it's listening on the ports i specified.09:06
RamYhwo do i do that wols_09:06
wols_webspiderus: what videocard and what driver?09:06
wols_RamY: run gparted from the livecd09:06
wols_RamY: but backup your windows installation first just in case09:06
rhetoricifireball, maybe windows automatically assigns local IPs while linux doesn't?09:06
RamYwols_:  i did, i made a new drive, but i get an error09:06
squarebracketmacd: without dropping the connection first? i still get the permission denied error.09:06
wols_RamY: what error?09:07
ifireballrhetoric: well, doesn't it "just work" for you with samba, if it works with windows it should work with about the same with samba09:07
RamYwhen i hit apply09:07
webspideruswols_: Nvidia 7900 GT - I'm using the latest drivers I could find on Nvidia's website09:07
timfrostsquarebracket: what happens when you do 'telnet <server> 44' from the client system (not you home system)?09:07
RamYok i will do it again so i can show you the error, just a min09:07
macdsquarebracket, I can't see how you'd get a permissions error as root, can you paste your whole error to pastebin09:07
rhetoricifireball, i spent more time hacking around with NFS i'll try samba again now09:07
=== Mohamed is now known as Benalex
jxxxtRamy, I always let the pstitioner shrink my windows (ntfs) to about one third its original size it worked for me every time except once where I lost win xp pro completely I think it was because I did not defrag windows first but I am not toosure09:07
ifireballrhetoric: no, they both do the same thing on that level, unless you're using an ancient Ubuntu version09:07
jxxxtpartitioner09:07
wols_webspiderus: "glxinfo" and ubuntu comes with perfectly fine drivers in the restricted repo. I don't support nvidia.com drivers09:07
Wander_wtheteacher: You might try some strange hack with pivot_root, kexec or the like; but really it seams easier to buy a cdrom drive09:07
rhetoricifireball, one box is feisty ppc, other gutsy x8609:08
macdrhetoric, NFS should be WAY easier than samba to setup b/t *nix hosts09:08
rhetoricmacd, im a noob and having lots of trouble with NFS09:08
macdrhetoric, its a few lines in hosts.allow, a few lines in /etc/exports and a line or 2 in fstab.09:08
ifireballrhetoric: Samba works becaue it does the network-equivalent of SHOUTING VERY LOUDLY on the network to find other hosts09:08
rhetoricmacd, i cant even manually mount the share09:08
macdrhetoric, to ubuntuforums have a nice guide, it takes about 15 minutes to setup ;)09:09
squarebrackettimfrost: from the first computer inside the remote network, i get no route to host09:09
macdrhetoric, what error are you getting?09:09
webspideruswols_: well, I'm not bound to nvidia.com drivers .. I'm up to try anything at the moment. The last thing I tried is using Envy to get my video card configured09:09
RamYwols_:   See the details for more information.09:09
RamYIMPORTANT09:09
RamYIf you want support, you need to provide the saved details!09:09
RamYSee http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information.09:09
theteacherso there is no single command to boot from cd rom?09:09
ifireballrhetoric: though you need to make sure both hosts are on the same SMB workgroup09:09
macdsquarebracket, then sshd did NOT restart properly09:09
rhetoricmacd, i tried mount hostname:/share and it says the host cant be found, and i dont know the local ip (it's a cheap hub)09:09
rhetoricifireball, k09:09
RamYan error occured while applying operstions         wols_09:09
macdrhetoric, login to the box and get the IP, and use it.09:09
timfrostsquarebracket: and the two machines are on the same network?09:09
bazhangtheteacher: what cdrom09:09
squarebracketmacd: Starting sshd; /etc/init.d/sshd; line 113; /usr/sbin/sshd; Permission denied09:09
rhetoricmacd, in ifconfig i dont see any 192.* or 10.*09:10
macdrhetoric, make that box have a static IP, and mount via IP in fstab.09:10
Wander_wtheteacher: I don't know of any if your allready in Linux09:10
rhetoricmacd, how do i give it a static ip?09:10
macdrhetoric, is the box ON the network?09:10
rhetoricmacd, im a total noob bud :) sorry09:10
squarebrackettimfrost: yes, i'm calling it via it's local network ip09:10
rhetoricmacd, in windows it was a matter of "share folder" "map network drive host:/share"09:10
macdsquarebracket, I've said like 3 times now, its NOT sshd its ssh.09:10
rhetoricmacd, that's about all i know :/09:10
Wander_wtheteacher: Maybe kqemu, vmware or some other virtualisation software09:10
macdrhetoric, linux is not windows ;)09:10
=== Benalex is now known as Mohamed
squarebracketmacd: /etc/init.d/ssh: no such file or directory09:11
rhetoricmacd, indeed and im glad, but im still a noob :)09:11
macdsquarebracket, and this is ubuntu?09:11
Wander_wmacd: damn, NOW you tell me09:11
bazhangtheteacher: you want help?09:11
squarebracketmacd: yes09:11
ifireballmacd: yeah, but it should work about the same09:11
macdsquarebracket, then you have the only machine ever with sshd not ssh in init.d09:11
theteacherbazhang, yes09:11
Vorbotemacd: the easiest way: open the gnome-network-applet by openning the "manual configuration" item in the network-manager menu.09:11
rhetoricmacd, it just seems that with all the other things that work out of the box in ubuntu, a basic file share on a hub would be GUI-able, or at least easy09:11
theteacherWander_W, iwant ubuntu on my pc09:11
bazhangtheteacher: answer my question then09:11
squarebracketmacd: interesting...09:11
macdrhetoric, maybe, maybe not, its not exactly cut and dry.09:11
Wander_wtheteacher: And the PC is running what? now?09:12
rhetoricmacd, but it does seem like there is not even a LAN to speak of, how can i check?09:12
RamYwols_: well?09:12
macdrhetoric, but to put this in perspective, assign it a static IP, then use that to mount the NFS shares09:12
macdrhetoric, ping yahoo.com ?09:12
theteacherWander_w, win98se09:12
ifireballrhetoric: well, you seem have kind of a bastard setup of a network, what windows does to work over it anyway is VERY insecure09:12
rhetoricmacd, both boxes have an internet IP09:12
bazhangRamY: you downloaded gparted from windows and used that, correct?09:12
theteacherbazhang,im waiting09:12
timfrostsquarebracket: and the same IP worked for port 22?09:12
rhetoricifireball, i thought as much :(09:13
RamYgparted from windows? no09:13
Wander_wtheteacher: eek!09:13
RamYgparted using ubuntu09:13
bazhang!who | theteacher ask the question09:13
ubotutheteacher ask the question: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)09:13
macdrhetoric, your not making sense, they both have internet IP's? and they're behind a router or something? or are they using seperate internet connections?09:13
RamYalt+f2  >  gksudo  >  gparted09:13
rhetoricmacd, it's a really really cheap hub (not a switch, not a router)09:13
bazhangRamY: there is no error message from ubuntu like that iirc09:13
squarebrackettimfrost: ya, before i tried altering the port it did09:13
macdrhetoric, ohhhh09:13
rhetoricmacd, both boxes get an ip via DHCP09:14
macdrhetoric, ohhhhhh09:14
lifesfHi everyone; I need some help to mount; i've tried going through man pages a bit; the info on the internet has not been helpful so far... I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me figure out how to mount a hdd on my present machine; and preferably so it can mount automatically each time the pc reboots.09:14
ifireballmacd: hes not behind a router, getting 2 different _real_ IP from the ISP it seems09:14
macdrhetoric, I dont think either samba or NFS is going to work for you09:14
rhetoricmacd, all the hub does i think is send all packets to both boxes09:14
bazhang!mount09:14
ubotuPartitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter09:14
squarebrackettimfrost, i see that i've still got some sshd's running when i ps | grep sshd09:14
RamYwhat does irc got to do with it? i'm trying to install the ubuntu OS09:14
bazhangsee above lifesf09:14
wols_RamY: did you defrag your windows? did you unmount your windows partition first?09:14
lifesfoh yeah forgot; i am running server09:14
macdrhetoric, youd need some way to have dns for both machines to communicate using hostnames, or change your entire config for NFS everytime your IP's change09:14
TanisWolfbanehi people, is there a way of searching the installed package list of files so i can restore a deleted module?09:15
squarebrackettimfrost, though i don't know what ports they're listening on09:15
rhetoricmacd, maybe i could directly connect the boxes then?09:15
lifesf!mount09:15
ubotuPartitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter09:15
macdrhetoric, just buy a cheap 4 port router for 30 bux.09:15
rhetoricmacd, sounds like a plan lol09:15
wols_TanisWolfbane: dpkg -l  |grep ^ii   or aptitude search ~i09:15
macdrhetoric, at least thats what I would do :)09:15
TanisWolfbanethanks09:15
rhetoricmacd, but isnt there a way i can directly connect them?09:15
macdsquarebracket, are you able to ssh into the box? or are you already in the box?09:15
rhetoricmacd, it's rare that i even need to move files between the machines09:15
chervaare software indexing settings configured depending on the system when it boots from the livecd (like compiz-fusion) or they are the same for all users booting (and hopefuly installing) ubuntu09:15
RamYwols_:  so u r saying that i should login to window first, defragment the drive, then partition the dirve then boot ubuntu cd?09:15
bazhangRamY: insert the cd--resize the disk--guided--use ubuntu's suggestions--proceed, then when it is finished reboot and there you are09:16
wols_RamY: yes09:16
macdrhetoric, sure, with a crossover cable, and setting static IP's, but neither could be in the internet while this goes on09:16
theteacherbazhang, <bazhang>theteacher: answer my question then09:16
RamYbazhang:  i get an error when i do that09:16
RamYwols_:  ok i'm going to do what u said09:16
squarebracketmacd: i'm in the box right now. still in it from the first time i tried restarting sshd09:16
wols_rhetoric: does their (internal) IP change?09:16
bazhangRamY: not the guided you dont the manual is what that error is for09:16
edis6nhello, i just bought a razer diamondback mouse with g3 laser 1800 dpi but how to use those 1800 dpi, lomoco is 400, 800, 1600, 2000 dpi but nothing between.. im out of ideas already09:16
macdsquarebracket, ahhh09:16
Wander_wtheteacher: I don't know enough about win98se to help you. If I were you, I would either get a cheap cd drive, or pay someone else to install ubuntu for you09:16
rhetoricwols_, im not sure what internal IP is all about09:17
bazhangtheteacher please ask your question or go elsewhere09:17
ifireballmacd: you might be able to get away with setting up virtual IPs and tweaking /etc/hosts09:17
wols_rhetoric: what ip does you ubuntu have right now?09:17
macdsquarebracket, just for fun, try using sudo instead of root to restart sshd09:17
RamYbazhang: wols_ already gave me some tips, i'm gonna try them, if they don't work, i will do what u siad.09:17
macdifireball, yeah, I didnt think of that like eth0:109:17
lifesfi didn't really understand,... how to mount hard drive; preferably automatically when computer boot. i am running linux server without gui09:17
ifireballmacd: indeed09:17
rhetoricwols_, i have two ubuntu boxes on a basic hub (not a router, not a switch) both with seperate internet IP via DHCP, and i want a local share09:17
stewartwhat command do i use to start the mysql database09:17
squarebracketmacd: doing that both stopping and starting fails.09:17
rhetoricwols_, in ifconfig i see no 192.* or 10.*09:17
bazhangramy good, see you soon09:17
Myrttistewart: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart09:18
squarebracketmacd: nevermind, it does that without sudo09:18
macdsquarebracket, do you have physical access, or just remote?09:18
squarebracketmacd: only remote, unfortunately.09:18
theteacherbazhang, i want to install ubuntu from usb flashdisk. no cdrom on the pc. the pc cant boot from usb flashdisk. so i want to go to terminal by floppy n boot the alternate cd. how bout it09:18
macdsquarebracket, so it worked with sudo?09:18
stewarthow can i start the mysql database?09:18
rhetoricmacd, router is sounding like a plan, but it sucks that i can easily share in windows :/09:18
squarebracketmacd: no, it fails with or without sudo (i'm logged in as root right now)09:18
Myrttistewart: ^09:18
Wander_wstewart: /etc/init.d/mysql start09:18
macdsquarebracket, login NOT as root and try WITH sudo :)09:18
bazhangtheteacher: how old is this machine?09:18
MyrttiWander_w: better have it restarted in case there already is one running09:18
macdrhetoric, ehhh yeah but thats b/c you have netbios.09:19
ifireballrhetoric: again if you really want it to work like windows, Samba should be able to do that09:19
timfrostsquarebracket: does /var/run/sshd.pid exist?  That may cause the start script to refuse to run09:19
wols_rhetoric: what is the route you use?09:19
macdwols_, it seems like his ISP gives him 2 internet IP's via a hub, but the boxes can't talk to each other.09:19
rhetoricwols_, route? elaborate09:19
wols_rhetoric: /sbin/route09:19
theteacherbazhang, its pentium 2 with 196 Mb. i use xubuntu alternate cd.09:20
squarebracketmacd: the problem is i can't login to the box anymore. i su'ed way back before i even tried restarting sshd so that i didn't have to sudo to do a bunch of things. would dropping out of su mode drop the connection?09:20
malignityanything older than windows 2000 makes the baby jesus crieee09:20
ReaperWitobiI feel so incompetent, but does anyone know a way I can go about developing PHP webpages on my laptop?09:20
macdtimfrost, you think? I mean the init sshd restart script checks the existance of a PID before stopping/staerting, and IF sshd is running (which it is hes logged in) the PID would have to exist09:20
wols_malignity: sure, use the editor of your choice and do it09:20
rhetoricwols_, what part of that output is relevant (do you want me to paste)?09:20
squarebrackettimfrost, no it doesn't09:20
edis6nmöchte so gern mit meiner neuen diamondback und 1800 dpi spielen :(09:20
wols_rhetoric: all of it if possible, in a pastebin09:20

macdsquarebracket, it shouldnt, you didnt login remotely as root did you?09:21
rhetoricwols_, you lost me at pastebin sorry im a noob09:21
edis6nsorry, wrong channel ;)09:21
wols_!paste | rhetoric09:21
uboturhetoric: 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)09:21
rhetoricwols_, ty09:21
edis6ni want to play with my new razer diamondback and 1800 dpi so bad09:21
squarebracketmacd: no, i logged in as a normal user, and then used su.09:21
macdsquarebracket, then you can exit su09:21
timfrostmacd: If the PID file exists, then the script will see if that process is still running, and fail the restart.  But the file isn't there, so I don't know what is happening.09:22
TanisWolfbanewols_ I am actually trying to find out which package contains a file not search for a package, any ideas?09:22
Wander_wReaperWitobi: Install apache, apache-php and mysql and start reading some php tutorials09:22
squarebracketmacd: ah! i was still in screen..hm.09:22
rhetoricTanisWolfbane, it's just below package search, on the package search page09:22
wols_TanisWolfbane: dpkg -S <path to file>09:22
macdtimfrost, yeah no PID, and ssh is still logged in, WIERD. not to mention his is /etc/init.d/sshd not ssh? (all mine are ssh)09:23
wols_macd: sshd being logged in is normal and will stay logged in until you close the connection. sshd just doesn't accept new connections09:23
ReaperWitobiWander_w:  I've tried all that, but even the simplest PHP scripts are screwy09:23
Wander_wReaperWitobi: try this simple php page as an example: <?php echo "Hello World!" ?>09:23
rhetoricTanisWolfbane, ahh i see you mean locally, BUT if you use the package search site it will show where it installs by default09:23
chervaare software indexing settings configured depending on the system when it boots from the livecd (like compiz-fusion) or they are the same for all users booting (and hopefuly installing) ubuntu09:24
macdwols_, ohhh, I've had them kick me off before09:24
timfrostmacd: doing stop/start may explain the pid fie being missing, but the rest is strange09:24
TanisWolfbanethanks09:24
Wander_wReaperWitobi: please define "screwy"09:24
macdsquarebracket, If your really confident you made the proper config changes, you could reboot it. but uhhhh.....09:24
rhetoricwols_, pastebin site not loading. it's an IP from my ISP DHCP server, then link-local, then default09:24
bazhangany usb ports on that computer theteacher09:24
squarebracketmacd: well all i did was edit out the "port" line and changed it to 22209:25
wols_rhetoric: paste.ubuntu-nl.org is loading fine09:25
fotoflowhats the package manager called again in ubuntu?09:25
Avtty guys night09:25
rhetoricwols_, times out for me i blame level3 :)09:26
macdsquarebracket, you are trying to ssh to it specifying the port right? (earlier you had mentioned port 44 I thought)09:26
Wander_wfotoflo: Mine's called "Programmas toevoegen/verwijderen" ;)09:26
rhetoricwols_, in my scene kiddie days i had a .nl shell it happened all the time :/ some surfnet box likes to die09:26
wols_rhetoric: pastebin.ca09:26
fotoflosudo *what* install ?09:26
rhetoricwols_, ty09:26
bazhangtheteacher: any usb ports? I have to go in a couple...09:26
macdrhetoric, also pastie.caboo.se09:26
squarebracketmacd: i wanted it running on port 222, but i launched sshd both on port 222 and port 44. and yes, i am specifying the port09:26
TanisWolfbaneokay so I am trying to restore the following file: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwl3945.ko but no package seems to contain it!!!!! Any ideas09:27
macdsquarebracket, ohhhh09:27
rhetoricwols_, http://pastebin.ca/83457809:27
bazhangtheteacher: ? hmm I guess he left09:27
theteacherbazhang, yes. there's usb port09:27
timfrostsquarebracket: does 'netstat -nta | grep LIST' show entries for port 44 or 222?09:27
macdsquarebracket, you manually started another ssh on both ports, and changed the config? and then restarted it using init.d, no wonder its f-d.09:27
ReaperWitobiWander: everything after the [echo "] gets printed.  I wind up with [Hello World";?>]09:27
Wander_wTanisWolfbane: it is probably in package linux-2.6.22-14-modules or something09:28
macdsquarebracket, I'd find all the running ssh'd processes and kill the ones on any port other than 22.09:28
wols_rhetoric: get a dyndns hostname for each of your PCs and use that to find each other when/if the IP changes09:28
Wander_wReaperWitobi: How are you trying to run the php script?09:28
jxxxtfotoflo. apt-get09:29
fotoflojxxxt: right!09:29
fotoflothanks09:29
TanisWolfbaneyea thats what I thought but  dpkg -S  says not found and I've tried reinstalling all the kernel packages09:29
ReaperWitobiI'm trying to open it in a web browser?09:29
rhetoricwols_, so i need to mount via internet IP, wont that route everything out and back in?09:29
wols_rhetoric: it shouldn't. that's why I asked for your route09:29
squarebrackettimfrost: i had both before, but now i only have 22209:29
Wander_wReaperWitobi: how did you save the script? What's the filename?09:29
Wander_w(and the path)09:29
squarebracketmacd: it never properly restarted using init.d09:29
rhetoricwols_, gotcha lemme try mounting09:29
=== zMooTh` is now known as zMooTh
wols_TanisWolfbane: what file are you looking for its package?09:30
squarebracketmacd: also, how can i tell which process is running on which port? ps | grep sshd doesn't tell me09:30
macdrhetoric, run traceroute from one box to the others IP, and see where it goes.09:30
TanisWolfbane/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwl3945.ko09:30

ReaperWitobi123.php09:30
rhetoricmacd, good idea :)09:30
Wander_wTanisWolfbane: try apt-cache search linux module and then apt-get --reinstall install <thepackage>09:30
macdsquarebracket, what wols_ said too.09:30
ReaperWitobiI'm editing it with gedit or vim (depends on the day)09:30
rhetoricmacd, btw how does windows do it?09:30
Stupid^Kidexcuse me what does hip-hop mean09:31
Wander_wReaperWitobi: where did you put it?09:31
macdrhetoric, with netbios, which makes a dynamic mapping of host/ip's09:31
fotofloif i have apt-get properly installed, i can install anything else, right?09:31
fotofloapt-get and gcc09:31
rhetoricmacd, ahhhh :)09:31
ifireballrhetoric: windows sens your files through the internet....09:31
wols_macd: it ises a tcp to netbios service helper09:31
wols_*uses09:31
macdwols_, plain english helped him understand. IN know what it is ;)09:32
Wander_wStupid^Kid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip-hop09:32
macdI know*09:32
rhetoricwols_, will your dyndns solution essentially do the same thing?09:32
ReaperWitobiI have two copies, on in ~/Desktop and one in ~/public_html09:32
Stupid^KidWander_w: Thank you!09:32
rhetoricmaybe it would be safer to use SSH?09:32
macdrhetoric, yes, but you dont want it routing NFS over the internet, NOT safe.09:32
timfrostsquarebracket: what happens if you try 'telnet <server> 222'?09:32
wols_rhetoric: more or less, tho samba can't deal with IPs very well09:32
Wander_wStupid^Kid: try wikipedia yourself first nexttime :)09:32
squarebrackettimfrost: no route to host09:33
macdrhetoric, squarebracket good luck, its almost 4am so I must go09:33
LordOfThePigsHello, is it possible to use the network manager and iwconfig at the same time?09:33
edis6nno one here who could help me with my 1800 dpi mouse problem?09:33
rhetoricmacd, traceroute gave me 10.88.0.109:33
Stupid^KidWander_w: i got it, but it willn't open09:33
macdrhetoric, huh?09:33
TanisWolfbaneWander_w: no it returns nothing, dkpg -S returns nothing and I've manually looked through all the kernel packages in Synaptic and non of them seem to list it09:33
rhetoricmacd, is that my local address, what gives?09:33
ifireballrhetoric: SSH would be as safe as you can go, if you don't mind the speed09:33
squarebracketmacd: thanks. i should probably hit the sack too. 4:30 here.09:33
LordOfThePigsfor some reason, the network manager won,t let me use a 40 bits wep key...09:33
macdrhetoric, paste the route for both boxes on that pastebin and let me see it09:33
Wander_wReaperWitobi: it should go in ~/public_html or somewhere in /var/www/ and then you should access it using a web browser09:34
LordOfThePigsand that's what my router uses09:34
rhetoricmacd, http://pastebin.ca/83458509:34
Wander_wReaperWitobi: like: http://localhost/~youusername/123.php09:34
rhetoricmacd, that's from gutsy to feisty09:34
macdrhetoric, no the route comand output from BOTH boxes plz09:34
wols_TanisWolfbane: what file is it?09:34
rhetoricmacd, i cant paste it from the other box gimme a sec :)09:35
Wander_wsec's over09:35
macdrhetoric, sure09:35
TanisWolfbane /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwl3945.ko09:35
ReaperWitobiWander - Uh... yeah.  That's what I've been doing.  But the script prints poorly....09:35
neo17_2lohi all09:36
macdrhetoric, ahh is that your other box right there?09:36
Wander_wReaperWitobi: hmm... strange09:36
rhetoric_macd, yep :)09:36
Wander_wReaperWitobi: Did you install all the apache-php stuff?09:36
neo17_2lois anyone here wko has kingpin? :D09:36
Spl33nHi! Me again :) Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a dramatic reduction of laptop battery life in Gutsy (even after utilising powertop's suggestions, lowering display brigtness, etc)09:37
macdsooo, from the 75.100. box, you run "traceroute 65.24.150.44" then paste that to pastebin for me09:37
macd@ rhetoric09:37
ifireballmacd: wait wait, I think it may be posible to get a click-easy solution to rhetoric's problem with avahi/zeroconf, e.g. have the machines talk on the 169.254 range09:37
Wander_wReaperWitobi: maybe try the commandline version of php and then type on the commandline: php 123.php09:37
macdifireball, I think we can do an eth0:1 on each box and just do 10.0.0.1/2 and set tyhem static too, but I'm not sure thats a great idea09:37
neo17_2lo:(09:37
macdifireball, or at least I dont have the time to explain it ;)09:38
ifireballmacd: seems that ubuntu can route to that range by default, and I'd rather solve that without having his to complex stuff on the console09:38
macdifireball, yeah, but Im not sure that will leave him with internet connectivity09:39
Wander_wReaperWitobi: I think you need libapache2-mod-php509:39
rhetoric_macd, http://pastebin.ca/834590 now you can hax0r both my boxes! loljk09:39
macdwooohoooo rhetoric  ./hacks09:39
macd;P09:39
ReaperWitobiWander:  the PHP command returns the right HTML...09:39
macdrhetoric, was that the right link, it looks the same as the old one09:40
squarebrackettimfrost, macd: i think it's a firewall issue on ports other than 22. arg! thanks for the help, though :)09:40
rhetoricmacd, yep lol i promise09:40
ifireballmacd: how are you going about that then? ssh?09:40
macdrhetoric, yeah I see now09:40
Wander_wReaperWitobi: have you installed libapache2-mod-php5? is it enabled in the apache configuration?09:40
rhetoricmacd, trying to mount at that 10.* ip at least gives me connection refused...09:41
macdrhetoric, get someone to help you configure a static IP alias for eth0 on both boxes. then use those static IPs with NFS.09:41
LordOfThePigsonce I have configured a wireless card with iwconfig, how do I start the actual connection?09:41
ReaperWitobiTo the first:  Affirmative, to the second....09:41
macdrhetoric, but I really have to jet09:41
macdrhetoric, so good luck :)09:41
wols_LordOfThePigs: if you did it right it's already running09:41
rhetoricmacd, thanks for your help09:41
ifireballrhetoric: i'll take over ;)09:41
lesshaste_is there an ubuntu package for pidgin otr 3.1?09:41
rhetoricifireball you have those 2 pastebins?09:41
rhetoricifireball, btw samba didnt work either09:41
LetterRipis there a known problem with processor on dual core processors?  Watching my processor usage the processors are being 'used' about the exact same - even though I have a task that should only be utilizing one processor with any sort of load09:42
LetterRipie playback of a video09:42
ifireballrhetoric: no, can you re-post the links plz?09:42
Wander_wLordOfThePigs: pump -i <interfacenamelike eth1> to get an ip09:42
LordOfThePigswols_: so there is no need to do anything special?09:42
rhetoricifireball, (first) http://pastebin.ca/83458509:42
rhetoric_ifireball, http://pastebin.ca/83459009:42
wols_it is if you don't want to have to run iwconfig every time you boot09:42
rhetoricwols_, check those 2 links also09:43
Wander_wLetterRip: that's probably the linux scheduler shuffeling stuf around09:43
ifireballrhetoric: do you have pasts of "ifconfig" ?09:43
lesshaste_can I install the hardy heron package safely?09:43
Buyydeewols: thanks for your help yesterday, grub works fine now09:43
rhetoricifireball, no but i can if you need it or i can tell you specifics in chan09:43
rhetoricifireball, semi afk a sec smoking09:43
LetterRipWander_w, hrrmmm that doesn't make sense09:44
jxxxtlesshaste, If you need to ask probably not...09:44
Wander_wLetterRip: you can probably stop it from doing that by doing: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings09:44
Wander_wLetterRip: Why not?09:44
wols_Buyydee: it'S a bad solution to. cause next time you install a kernel it will break again until update-grub recognizes it09:44

hello_manI have a 'home video' encoded in the divx format, and I want to get it on a DVD to watch on a normal DVD player in the U.S.. How do I do this while maintaining quality?09:44
LetterRipWander_w, i get 'permission denied'09:45
LetterRipeven if i do it via sudo09:45
ReaperWitobiI doubt it's enabled, Wander - mostly because I have no Idea how to...09:45
KalElyou can get a dvd player to play divx for $2509:45
Buyydeewols: i was wondering, yes. setup (hd0,2) didn't recognise it, neither did update-grub09:45
hello_manKalEl: I would like to find a way other than spending $25.09:46
ifireballrhetoric: well, we need to figure out how to solve this, there are 2 ways of going about this: 1. have the machine talk with SSH over the internet, that would be slow but secure and rather easy to set up; 2. fix the networking so they talk through the HUB, that maybe a little more complicated to achieve, and may stop working if your ISP changes his config09:46
rhetoricifireball, elaborate on the 2nd^^09:46
drishi09:46
wols_Buyydee: setup (hd0,2) is installing grub09:46
drishello guys09:46
wols_Buyydee: totally different thing09:46
Buyydeewols: ok, then i mixed this up09:47
rhetoricifireball, if ISP changes config how09:47
Wander_wReaperWitobi: there should be a symbolic link to a php config file in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled09:47
hello_man!dvd09:47
ubotuFor playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs09:47
rhetoricifireball, i could edit the fstab if i knew what to mount ><09:47
wols_doing a setup (hd0,2) could even have caused this cause now grub is installed on sda3's bootrecord which is bad09:47
KalElHellDragon, ohi see, in that case you might want to install ffmpeg and dvdauthor09:47
macdrhetoric, before I leave here it is in a nutshell http://pastebin.ca/83459709:47
macdrhetoric, and thats some fast typing ;)09:47
KalElk9copy should also do the job09:47
ifireballrhetoric: well, on the 2nd way, we do some terminal hacking to either assign your machines another set of IP addresses so they can speak among themselves, or setup static routes09:47
wols_if sda3 is windows, I'm sruprised windows is still booting with that09:47
rhetoricmacd, aww thanks09:48
KalElhello_man, here: http://www.burningbits.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=380409:48
KalElsorry personally i like to have the files as compact as possible09:48
hello_manKalEl: Thanks, I'll check it out.09:48
LetterRipWander_w, my processor is an AMD 64 x2 if that affects anything09:48
KalElwriting to a normal dvd inflates it like 1:509:48
rhetoricmacd, will i not be connected to the internet if i do that?09:48
macdrhetoric, you will, your just adding an alias to your ethernet card so that they can talk as if they are on a lan09:49
bazhangtheteacher: you back?09:49
KalEli did not mean any offense09:49
rhetoricmacd, great that's what i need!09:49
macdrhetoric, but Im sure ifireball  knows what Im doing there and help you with it ;)09:49
KalElapologies if i sounded rude09:49
macdtake it easy.09:49
Wander_wLetterRip: Why do you want to prevent linux from scheduling jobs on multiple cores anyway?09:49
rhetoricmacd, great thanks so very much, go before you are late for whatever it is :)09:49
rhetoricifireball, did you see what he was talking about?09:50
bazhang!minimal | theteacher this is the best I can suggest right now--back later if you need help09:50
ubotutheteacher this is the best I can suggest right now--back later if you need help: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD09:50
ifireballrhetoric: yeah macd's way is essentially the 1st option of the 2nd way...09:50
macdohhh rhetoric one more thing that paste is wrong auto eth0:1 inet static not eth0 ;)09:50
LetterRipWander_w, I'd just like to kill the ridiculous amount of noise my fan is making under linux09:50
rhetoricifireball, http://pastebin.ca/83459709:50
rhetoricmacd, kk :)09:50
ReaperWitobiWander: php5.conf?  What of it?09:50
LetterRipWhen I had vista installed I'd run in processor throttled mode that kept the fan off 99% of the time09:50
ifireballrhetoric: I'd rather not have you think networking on ubuntu is that hard though... ;)09:50
Wander_wLetterRip: uhm... then you are probably after the wrong problem09:51
rhetoricifireball, as long as it gets done and is relatively stable, but it does seem like it would push away users less patient than myself09:51
Buyydeewols: i just tried sudo update-grub again, didn't recognise it. can you think of a reason for this? the device is readable in nautilus, ntfs formatted, sata-209:51
Wander_wLetterRip: you should check if ondemand cpu governor is used09:51
LetterRipWander_w, actually what I've read of the command you just pasted stated that that reduces power usage - ergo fan usage09:51
rhetoricifireball, so explain what the 2nd option would be09:51
Wander_wLetterRip: yeah, but just a bit09:51
rhetoricifireball static routes09:51
ifireballrhetoric: samba should've worked if it does on windows, maybe its the version difference09:52
rhetoricifireball it seems like it would be the same problem as NFS no route to the other box09:52
rhetoricifireball so it doesnt even see it09:52
Wander_wLetterRip: what does cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor say?09:52
wols_Buyydee: sorry, no09:52
LetterRipondemand09:53
Wander_wLetterRip: thats good09:53
Buyydeewols: thanks for your effort, i'm going to ask again in the forums09:53
Wander_wLetterRip: are you on a laptop or on a desktop?09:53
LetterRiplaptop09:53
ifireballrhetoric: setting up static routes means forcing the machines to acknowledge that they are on the same hubs despite IP addresses indicating otherwise, but that config is IP dependent and will break if your ISP changes your IPs09:53
LetterRip'desktop replacement'09:53
lesshaste_can I install the hardy heron package safely on gibbon? I want pidgin-otr 3.109:53
Regellesshaste_, i think you can09:53
rhetoricifireball could i fix that by using dyndns?09:54
Arv3nHello.09:54
davidwinterin Firefox I accidently clicked the Hide Bookmark Menu and now I can't find anywhere to bring it back.09:54
Wander_wLetterRip: uhmm... try www.linuxpowertop.org and do the tips it suggests09:54
Arv3nCan I talk to someone regarding making my own distro?09:54
davidwinterany ideas?09:54
lesshaste_Regel, ok thanks09:54
LetterRipthanks09:54
Regellesshaste_, you can always remove it if it doesnt work09:54
rhetoricifireball it seems like macd's way is easier and more stable09:54
ifireballrhetoric: no, dyndns is kinda like doing it the 1st way I talked about e.g. via the internet09:54
KalEldavidwinter, view->toolbar->bookmarks?09:54
lesshaste_Regel, true that09:55
theteacherbazhang, thx. i'll try it. i'm not going anywhere.09:55
Arv3ndavidwinter, or just right click the top --> bookmarks toolbar09:55
davidwinterKalEl: it's not the toolbar, but the actual menu drop down09:55
Arv3nIs anyone experience in making a distro?09:55
ReaperWitobiWander:  I've got a php5.conf, and a php3.load... but I have no way to ensure that they are correctly configured...09:55
Arv3n*experienced09:55
ifireballrhetoric: indeed, macd's way is best long-tern speaking so try setting that up (and dont forget it sould be eth0:1 on lines 05 and 1109:55
ReaperWitobi*php5.load09:56
scguy318Arv3n: I'm as clueless as you are, but take a look at Linux from Scratch09:56
Arv3nscguy318, I'm wanting to start my own company in the future.09:56
Wander_wReaperWitobi: uhm.. php3 is OLD I'd delete it (apt-get remove --purge php3) if I were you09:56
Arv3nscguy310, that would be more difficult than it's worth, I'm thinking of making it based on Ubuntu.09:56
Arv3nMaybe Debian.09:56
ReaperWitobiHaha, no, it was a typo09:57
rhetoricifireball, right now my /etc/network/interfaces has 2 lines "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" is that right?09:57
scguy318Arv3n: unfortunately, I'm kinda clueless in the area, but the Linux from Scratch project has docs and such09:57
Wander_wReaperWitobi: hehe, ok09:57
scguy318Arv3n: might be worth reading, its 4 AM CST, so the smarter people are sleeping09:57
myke54142LFS Is good09:57
myke54142i made my own distro with that09:57
Arv3nhm.09:57
Arv3nwell.09:57
Wander_wReaperWitobi: uhm.. then try this as a script: <?php phpinfo(); ?>09:57
Arv3nmyke54142, define own distro.09:57
Wander_wscguy318: it's 11 am over here09:58
Arv3nWander_w, 5am here.09:58
ifireballrhetoric: that sounds right assuming you're using network manager, add his lines to the end, but don't forget to add blank lines before and after09:58
rhetoricifireball i copy what he gave me *exactly* or...? and what is the change on lines 5 and 1109:59
tsendrdjsdfsdf09:59
scguy318Wander_w: cool, somewhere in Europe?09:59
ifireballrhetoric: change 05 and 1109:59
Buyydee<-- spain09:59
Wander_wArv3n: myke54142 probably used the Linux From Scratch documents and HOWTO's to compile his own distro from scratch... pretty cool to do that, if you have the time09:59
ifireballrhetoric: put eth0:1 rather then just eth009:59
Buyydeescguy, why do you ask?09:59
rhetoricok and i put BOX1 and BOX2 in the file on both BOX1 and BOX2?10:00
scguy318Buyydee: I was actually addressing Wander_w, and I was wondering as to her timezone10:00
Wander_wscguy318: The netherlands (yeah that place where weed is legal)10:00
scguy318*his/her10:00
Buyydeescguy: sry, now i get it :D10:00
scguy318Wander_w: lol, imperialist America here :P10:00
Wander_whis10:00
rhetoricifireball, ok and i put BOX1 and BOX2 in the file on both BOX1 and BOX2? and do i replace BOX1 and BOX2 with the hostnames?10:00
scguy318Wander_w: ah10:00
evan__why must i reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot?10:00
ifireballrhetoric: no, the 4 lines beneath "BOX 1" on one on the machines the other 4 lines on the other10:00
ReaperWitobiWander:  Nothing.10:00
Wander_wscguy318: Wanna buy a morgage? :P10:01

Wander_wscguy318: Broadband?10:01
Wander_wI'll stop the teasing now :)10:01
scguy318Wander_w: lol, I'm not making any sort of money yet :P10:01

scguy318Wander_w: but broadband service is indeed very retarded in the US, telecom monopoly and all10:02
ifireballtell me once you got past the "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" step on one of the machines10:02

ifireballrhetoric: don't do this on both machines at once, you might lose connectivity and then we won't be able to talk...10:03
rhetoricifireball, hehe yea im going to do it on the laptop first10:04
Wander_wscguy318: but I kinda live in the fucking middle of nowhere, so the 20 mbit/s packages for 30 dollar a month are unavailable :(10:04
scguy318Wander_w: I think I get around 5 Mbit/s for about that same price10:04

* frederick85 is wondering how to make glmatrix as his wallpaper in xfce410:04
scguy318Wander_w: for telephony I use some cheapo VoIP10:04
rhetoricifireball, once i give a static IP to that box i should be able to mount it from this one right?10:05
Wander_wscguy318: you run your own voip system?10:05
scguy318Wander_w: no, I pay a VoIP provider10:05
frederick85anybody know how to make a screensaver run as wallpaper in xfce410:05
Wander_wscguy318: ah, that is included in my package10:05
scguy318Wander_w: would be nice to know how tho :)10:05
ifireballrhetoric: no, you need to get the right IPs on both boxes 1st, then we'll test it with ping and only then we can start talking about mounting10:05
Wander_wscguy318: uhm.. I beleive asterisks is what you want then10:05
myke54142at home i have 7mbit, on 26.4 dialup right now tho10:06
rhetoricifireball, gotcha10:06
scguy318Wander_w: yeah, probably10:06
Wander_wmyke54142: DIALUP? what! are you from the stoneage? :P10:06
ifireballrhetoric: I suppose we'll also setup hostnames in /etc/hosts so the config will be more eye-friendly10:06
Myrttimyke54142: I'm on dialup too... Mobile 3G dialup10:07
rhetoricifireball you mean so it's hostname instead of 10.*? who cares? :)10:07
scguy318Wander_w: he might be in the middle of nowhere too :P10:07
rhetoricifireball, we've come this far lol10:07
ifireballrhetoric: I do :P10:07
myke54142yeah i'm in the middle of nowhere10:07
Wander_wscguy318: so? doesn't he get POTS then?10:07
myke54142so is home but it's in town in the middle of nowhere10:07
rhetoricifireball, ok :) at least i'll learn something. one sec doing changes on laptop10:07
scguy318Wander_w: thus dialup :)10:07
ifireballrhetoric: It'll make diagnosing stuff that much easier10:07
scguy318Wander_w: 56k is pushing theoretical max anyway, actual throughput is prob what myke's getting10:07
ReaperWitobiWander:  Is there anything in particular I'm looking for?  When I load it in a browser, it does nothing, but again it returns perfectly via comandline.10:07
Wander_wscguy318: nearly all POTS is ASDL connected here, around 99%+ I guess10:08
neopsych1how can i create a divx / xvid from only VOB files? video_ts info missing.10:08
Wander_wReaperWitobi: then it's pretty safe to say that you php configuration is fubarred10:09
wols_neopsych1: a vob file is just a mpeg210:09
ReaperWitobiUgh.10:09
scguy318Wander_w: ah10:09
scguy318Wander_w: some rural areas are constrained to dial-up, though probably the more populous areas have the option of ADSL10:09
Wander_wReaperWitobi: I can't tell from over here what exactly is wrong, but you might try reinstalling apache and php10:10
ReaperWitobiUgh.10:10
ReaperWitobiAight.10:10
Filled-VoidCould anyone tell me how to get conky to work with the script I have from gnome-look.org .10:11
gingersnaphow do you open an executeable with the help flag?10:11
rhetoricifireball, hmm there is a 3rd line on my feisty box "iface eth1 inet dhcp" that is NOT on the gutsy box what gives?10:11
cbx33where does software raid store it's configuration??10:11
neopsych1how do i change ports on Evolution?10:11
wols_ReaperWitobi: dpkg -l |grep php10:11
Wander_wcbx33: If I recall correctly; in the partition table10:11
cbx33cool10:12
rhetoricifireball, OH my stupid wireless that doesnt work so i just use eth2 then?10:12
cbx33just about to forray into it all for the first time10:12
wols_Wander_w: and where would it store anything there?10:12
cbx33;)10:12
ifireballrhetoric: its because gusty relies more heavily on network manager then feisty did, it doesn't matter10:12
Wander_wcbx33: and there probably is a configuarion file for initialisation in /etc10:12
wols_note: a partitiontable has 16 bytes per partition10:13
cbx33there is, but it can do it all automatically10:13
cbx33without the mdadm file10:13
rhetoricifireball, i think it's because both have a default interface that isnt even listed in /etc/interfaces maybe?10:13
ifireballrhetoric: but just to make sure let me have a look at the ifconfig output plz; I take it the gusty IP is already setup?10:13
wols_cbx33: most likely initrd scripts10:13
cbx33nope10:13
evan__hey , everytime i boot i need to reinstall my video driver ( nvidia 169.07 ) why does it load vesa all the time???10:13
Wander_wcbx33: yeah, could allso be in a magic sequence of bytes at the start of each partition10:13
cbx33possibly10:13
evan__i think becasue it does someting weird with xgl http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49781/10:13
cbx33yeh10:13
rhetoricifireball, no i was going to do it on the feisty laptop, when i saw the 3rd line in /etc/network/interfaces10:14
cbx33well off to try10:14
wols_evan__: ask nvidia.com they installed it. not ubuntu10:14
evan__wols_ nvidia doesnt help ubunu users10:14
roman_co mówisz?10:14
ifireballrhetoric: what is the interface its actually using?10:14
evan__wols_ its in there irc channel10:14
wols_evan__: well, you certainly didn't install the drivers from ubuntu, that's for sure10:14
Wander_wevan__: if you have a fresh boot, is the nvidia module listed in lsmod?10:14
ifireballrhetoric: (did you paste ifconfig somewhere?)10:14
rhetoricifireball, i think it's because the laptop has both wireless and hardwired internet10:14
gingersnaphow do you open an exe with the help flag?10:14
rhetoricifireball i can gimme a sec10:15
roman_I don't know10:15
Wander_wgingersnap: open a terminal; type ./theexecutable --help10:15
wols_evan__: "try to use your distribution's driver packages". follow their advice10:15
gingersnapthank you10:15
meshuggahaddicthello everyone wonderful morning inst it10:15
KalEl#nvidia: "Ubuntu kernel module problem? Ask in #ubuntu!"10:15
rhetoricifireball, yea on the laptop eth0 is wireless, eth1 is wired (hence the line in /etc/interfaces it seems that eth0 is never listed?)10:15
meshuggahaddictanybody have any comments about the XFX brand of video cards10:15
roman_bit dimm10:15
wols_meshuggahaddict: ##hardware10:16
KalEl(the exclamation sign is actually not there, i added it for the effect)10:16
evan__Wander_w : it is now ill ty a fresh reboot now brb10:16
Wander_wmeshuggahaddict: They make videocards?10:16
rhetoricifireball, so what will the entry be for the static ip, if eth1 is the wired connection im using10:16
frederick85is there some way to automatically generate a new xorg.conf file from the default ubuntu settings10:16
frederick85I installed from minimal boot and didn't have the same one10:16
meshuggahaddictyes they do and they seem to be pretty good\10:16
wols_frederick85: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh10:17
Wander_wfrederick85: maybe there is a .bak file?10:17
ifireballrhetoric: you should put "eth1:1" rather then "eth0:1" in the static lines10:17
rhetoricifireball, will it be eth1:1?10:17
rhetoricifireball, yay! i was right10:17
Wander_wfrederick85: ignore me, listen to wols_ :)10:17
wols_frederick85: there are /etc/X11/xorg.conf* files where * is datetime10:17
meshuggahaddictI'm just woundering because i have some open GL issues with my card i have right now10:17
ifireballrhetoric: don't forget the blank lines before and after, they are important10:17
wols_meshuggahaddict: is it a software or hardware problem? and is the OS you run ubuntu?10:17
edis6nhey guys, i configured my diamondback mouse right now and did a reboot, its quite fast and stuff but how can i test it? how can i see the hz its using? or the dpi its using?10:17
meshuggahaddictyes 7.1010:18
meshuggahaddicti believe it is hardware, it is an old card10:18
ifireballrhetoric: I don't want you losing connectivity because of syntax errors in the file...10:18
wols_what is the problem?10:18
meshuggahaddictit used to lock up on 6 and now it seems that the polys skins are wrong color and image10:19
rhetoricifireball, is there a blank line between each entry?10:19
wols_sounds like hardware, so OT here10:19
ifireballrhetoric: no, just before and after the 4-line clause10:19
meshuggahaddictthats what i thought, its an ATI 850010:19
rhetoricifireball, that's what i meant, between each interface right?10:19
ifireballrhetoric: yes.10:20
rhetoricso between the 2 "lo" lines and the eth1 line, then between that and my 4 new lines10:20
ifireballrhetoric: yes.10:20
rhetorick restarting10:20
lesshaste_I don't know if something has broken on my system but can anyone play ftp://ftp.aduni.org/videos/11_lect_02.rm10:21
rhetoricifireball, it's trying to release 10.88.0.1 port 6710:21
rhetoricifireball, and it failed and fell back on it, lemme pastebin10:21
ifireballrhetoric: that's ok its reconfiguring eth110:21
edis6nis there no chance to check my mouse polling rate?!10:22
=== lmontrie__ is now known as lmontrie
edis6nor just the dpi ?10:23
ifireballrhetoric: if you can still connect from that machine we should be ok10:23
rhetoric_ifireball: http://pastebin.ca/83462010:23
rhetoricifireball, i kinda see what happened, but i dont understand why10:23
frederick85how do I enable 3d mode for intel driver10:23
evan__hey i rebooted and nvidia was not in lsmod i did "modprobe nvidia" and it came in lsmod but i still aint got the driver working10:23
Wander_wevan__: ok, so now you might have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf10:24
ifireballrhetoric: essentially your ISP didn't accept the release packet, it doesn't matter you got the IP back anyway, lets see how your "ifconfig" looks now10:24
AliTarihiHi! everybody. I have a problem with the Nvidia driver.10:24
rhetoricifireball, exactly the same :(10:25
Wander_wevan__: look for a Driver line10:25
Buyydeeevan_ & wander_w: try doing this via sudo nvidia-settings, simplified it in my case10:25
evan__ok10:25
edis6nno gamers here? :(10:25
AliTarihiI managed to set up the driver. It is working .10:25
Wander_wevan__: it should say Driver "nvidia"10:25
tarzeaui play www.sauerbraten.org, edis6n10:25
Wander_wevan__: don't change lines that say Driver "mouse" !10:25
AliTarihiBut  hibernate suspend works. But once I logout, the Text mode is in mess!10:26
rhetoricifireball, should i be able to connect via that 10.whatever ip?10:26
Wander_wevan__: or your mouse will stop working10:26
* nomentero is away: No estoy:-(10:26
edis6nwell, tarzeau do u know how to check your mouse polling rate or dpi ?10:26
tarzeauedis6n: nope sorry, maybe with xset10:26
edis6ntarzeau, im not sure i want to see, is it really running on 1800 dpi now..  ;)10:26
evan__Wander_w : Driver         "nvidia"10:26
Wander_wevan__: It might indeed be easier using nvidia-settings, as Buyydee suggested10:27
ifireballrhetoric: not yet, lets see how does the interfaces looks like right now, if you're not seeing eth1:1 in ifconfig then it didn't work yet10:27
Wander_wevan__: that's good10:27
AliTarihi?10:27
edis6ntarzeau, sauerbraten.. is it something like warsow or nexuiz?10:27
tarzeauedis6n: just much better!10:27
tarzeauedis6n: http://krum.ethz.ch/sauerbraten/10:27
Wander_wevan__: if you stop X11, and as root do startx then what happens? Does it start X in nvidia mode?10:28
evan__Wander_w i only got an identifier and an drive in that section10:28
rodolfopeople, whats the parameter to unzip a .tar.bz2 file? (sudo tar -??? file_name.tar.bz2)10:28
Buyydeethat's my university tarzeau!10:28
evan__Wander_w ill try10:28
edis6ntarzeau, looks pretty good ofcourse10:28
Wander_wevan__: that is enough10:28
rhetoricifireball, did you look at the last pastebin of my restart?10:28
rhetoricifireball, it didn't work for sure10:28
tarzeauBuyydee: which?10:29
frederick85i don't think ubuntu is hardcore enough for me10:29
Wander_wrodolfo: tar jxpvf <thefile.tar.bz2>10:29
AliTarihiAnyone?10:29
Buyydeetarzeau: ethz.ch - federal institute of technology zurich10:29
tarzeauBuyydee: ah nice, where at there are you?10:29
ifireballrhetoric: yeah, like I said its looks ok, just some braindead-ISP BS, see if "sudo ifup eth1:1" works for you10:29
Wander_wfrederick85: Buy a tomtom, go crosscompiling you own distribution for ARM from scratch, that might be hardcore enough for you :)10:29
Buyydeetarzeau: studying chemical engineering in 5th semestre at the hci on the hoenggerberg10:30
rhetoricifireball, it must have something to do with the "iface eth1 inet dhcp"10:30
frederick85Wander_w: I was thinking gentoo/freebsd10:30
frederick85I'v done that beofre10:30
frederick85it was good10:30
rhetoricifireball, should that be eth1:0 or go *after* my 4 lines?10:30
tarzeauBuyydee: oh just wait 5 mintues, i'll show you something10:30
ifireballrhetoric: yeah, you're getting IP from the ISP via DHCP,its as it should be10:30
ifireballrhetoric: no, just type that on the console10:30
Buyydeetarzeau: i'll be here10:30
rodolfoWander_w, thanks10:31
frederick85Wander_w: I just find ubuntu doesn't pass the time for me but compiling does10:31
rhetoricifireball, it says it's already configured, but it's not in ifconfig10:31
Wander_wfrederick85: What? a complete distro whit all the packages allready there? how softcore10:31
edis6ntarzeau, i download that game now :P i see already 4700 other people did the same10:31
ifireballrhetoric: paste "ifconfig" plz, also paste "ifconfig eth1:1"10:31
frederick85Wander_w: I think 50% of the packages don't work so I will have to fix them myself10:32
Wander_wfrederick85: ok, have fun10:32
rhetoric_ifireball: http://pastebin.ca/83462810:33
rhetoricifireball: what does my ISP have to do with it?10:34
Wander_wnothing, but we'd like to see your IP and steal your pr0n with it :P10:35
ifireballrhetoric_: your ISP gives you the config you're getting for eth1 in order to get online10:35
newubuntuhi all ... im trying to install amsn buti need tcltls .. who can tell me how to install it?10:35
tarzeauBuyydee: recognize your building here? http://gnu.ethz.ch/photos/panorama/10:35
rhetoricifireball: but what does that have to do with my static assingment (which is local yea?)10:35
ifireballrhetoric_: no it doesn't; anyway, paste the interfaces file, we may have got something wrong there10:35
Wander_wnewubuntu: apt-get install amsn10:36
Buyydeetarzeau: i do, are you in the applied math tower?10:36
neopsych1.10:36
ifireballrhetoric: "networking restart" is the equivalent of rebooting the whole network configuration so it reconfigures all the interfaces10:36
newubuntuWander_w if i do apt-get install amsn ubuntu says me i need tcltls10:37
rhetoricifireball, i got that much i just dont see what my ISP has to do with me assigning a local IP?10:37
rhetoricifireball, and what is this 10.88.0.110:37
ifireballrhetoric: it doesn't, the messages you saw had to do with the dynamic IP not the static one we're setting up right now10:38
rhetoric_ifireball: http://pastebin.ca/83463410:38
ifireballrhetoric: 10.88.0.1 must be the ISPs DHCP server10:38
rhetoricifireball: well does my trying to use a 10.* locally screw that up? maybe i should use 192.*?10:38
Wander_wnewubuntu: I think you need the "universe" repositories enabled10:38
tarzeauBuyydee: physics department10:39
ifireballrhetoric: no it doesn't, anyway is there a blank line after line 09 in the file?10:39
Buyydeetarzeau: well, nice to know you :) i just got to get back to work now, i'm going to be idle here for some time10:40
rhetoric_ifireball: doh, yes10:40
tarzeauBuyydee: that's fine, nice to meet you10:40
ThreeFingerPetehello. can someone inform me as to a more featuresque irc client than xchat10:40
ifireballrhetoric: just checking since it doesn't appear so in the paste... lets try "sudo ifdown eth1:1" and then "sudo ifup eth1:1"10:41
rhetoric_ifireball: OMG im dumb there was an "auto eth1" like 20 lines down somehow10:41
rhetoric_i put it above the iface eth1 and restarting now10:41
Wander_wnewubuntu: open adept ("add/remove programs") , click "edit software sources" and check the "Community maintained Open Source software (universe)" option. Check the other options ass well if you want.10:42
Wander_wThreeFingerPete: I use Pidgin10:42
ThreeFingerPeteThanks Wander_w, I did too, but for some reason it no longer connects me to channels10:44
ThreeFingerPetehowever, it works fine for msn and yahoo..10:45

ThreeFingerPetenods. it all seems to work but then i get an empty channel.10:45
rhetoric_ifireball: still same ifconfig :( new error at the end of restart "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address"10:45
ThreeFingerPetewill try again.. excuse me if i vanish...10:45
Wander_wThreeFingerPete: Strange... are your accounts set up correctly? (ctrl-a)10:46
ifireballrhetoric: lets try "sudo ifdown eth1:1" and then "sudo ifup eth1:1"10:46
ThreeFingerPetenods.10:46

rhetoric_ifireball: could it have to do with this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/12377310:52

bentob0xI'm looking for a list of laptops on which you can install Ubuntu10:54
rhetoric_ifireball: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address10:54
Wander_wbentob0x: Dell Latitude D82010:55
Buyydeebentobox: IBM/Lenovo T61p works out of the box10:55
Wander_wbentob0x: (because that is what I'm using)10:55
ifireballdoes "ifconfig eth1:1" still give you only 2-3 lines?10:55
evan^^Wander_W it gives errors now it cant initialise the nvidia kernel module10:55
rhetoric_ifireball, yea bingo10:55
rhetoric_ifireball: should it be eth1:0 ?10:55
Wander_wevan^^: are you using a driver downloaded from the nvidia website? or one from ubuntu?10:56
Wander_wevan^^: (don't install both on 1 system)10:56
bentob0xis there no list online?  I'd like to go shopping this pm but with the wide range of laptops they offer, a list would be welcome for me to check that Ubuntu works on it10:56
evan^^Wander_w from nvidia website the restricted module drive gave errors to and diddnt have hardware acceleration10:56
Wander_wevan^^: did you remove the ubuntu version?10:57
ifireballrhetoric: hmm... could be... try that10:57
linuxfcehas anyone here tried using the avant window manager (docker program)?10:57
ifireballrhetoric: afaik it shouldn't matter, but who knows10:57
Wander_wbentob0x: make a list of laptops that you like, then go check online if anyone has ubuntu working on it10:57
zimonbentob0x, there are many lists .. like http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/10:58
flickhi i am downloading the game Scorched 3D10:58
evan^^Wander_w yes but i have have installed nvidia-glx-new yesterday when i had this same problem10:58
rhetoric_ifireball:10:58
flickbut i do not know how to play the game, Scorched 3D10:58
rhetoric_ifireball: still the same deal :(10:58
Wander_wevan^^: and did you remove that one?10:58
linuxfcedell xps m1330 is a good linux laptop. i got media buttons, webcam, sound, mic, dual mic array (in lcd), bluetooth, wifi, and remote control working perfectly10:58
linuxfceand it was easy10:59
evan^^Wander_W yes i have removed nvidia-glx-new10:59
ifireballrhetoric_: well, lets try a manual hack "sudo ifconfig eth1:0 up 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"10:59
Wander_wevan^^: and after that you installed the package from nvidia?10:59
rhetoric_ifireball: lol same error message10:59
rhetoric_ifireball: oooooh but now it seems to have worked11:00
rhetoric_ifireball: buggy as hell eh?11:00
francishi I have a postfix server server set up, It accepts mail for all the virtual domains but does not send mails from the hosted virtual domains . The logs say "Relay access denied" . Someone Please Help !!!11:01
linuxfceuse envy for nvidia, its all automated and easy11:01
ifireballrhetoric_: yeah, too much attention going in to simple wireless laptops now days, they get the more complex stuff wrong...11:01
evan^^Wander_w yes i just chekced it11:01
francisooops a typo11:01
rhetoric_ifireball: 2 boxes same OS wired into a basic hub is pretty gd simple lol11:01
francishi I have a postfix server server set up, It accepts mail for all the virtual domains but does not send mails from the hosted virtual domains .  But while I try and sent a mail from the hosted domain I get  "Relay access denied" . Someone Please Help !!!11:01
rhetoric_ifireball: did you see the launchpad bug i linked? this is definetely a reproduction11:02
ifireballrhetoric_: yeah, but static virtual IPs on onterfaces that already have DHCP IPs isn't.11:02
evan^^Wander_W how could i make it innitialize?11:02
ifireballrhetoric_: not really, they got some different results, but its a hint indeed11:02
rhetoric_ifireball: no now i got the error, and mine is working11:02
rhetoric_ifireball i wonder why it doesnt work unless i do it manually like that though11:03
Wander_wevan^^: Uhm... I'm kind of running out of ideas here11:03
ifireballrhetoric_: well, ok, but now I have doubts whether this setup is rebootable...11:03
Wander_wevan^^: Is there anything in dmesg?11:03
rhetoric_ifireball: does it have anything to do with the "auto *" lines in the interfaces file?11:03
evan^^Wander_W do you mean a fresh install is the best idea?11:04
evan^^:P11:04
rhetoric_what does "auto eth1" do exactly11:04
ifireballrhetoric_: well, the "auto" tells it to try setting up the interface when you start/stop networking rather then just when you issue manual ifup/down commands11:05
wols_rhetoric_: it runs "ifup eth1" when /etc/init.d/networking is started11:05
ifireballrhetoric_: essentially its supposed to make the interface start up on boot11:05
rhetoric_ifireball: also do i need a "broadcast' line11:06
=== Wander_w is now known as Wander_afk
ifireballrhetoric_: but we've already seen it doesn't quite work as advertised... (it used to, god damnit...)11:06
rhetoric_ifireball, lol :)11:06
ifireballrhetoric_: no you don't need it11:06
ifireballrhetoric_: anyway, lets put that aside for now, and go to the other machine11:06
rhetoric_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/11445711:06
rhetoric_another similar bug11:07
rhetoric_ifireball: ok what on the other machine11:07
ifireballrhetoric_: same thing basically only "eth0:0" if i remember correctly and 10.0.0.2 for IP11:08
ifireballrhetoric_: and hope gusty handles it better...11:09
rhetoricifireball hehe11:09
lesshaste_can you get ntfs-3g support in gutsy gibbon?11:10
ifireballrhetoric: anycase I gtg in about 20minuts so lets step on it11:11
linuxfceisnt ntfs-3g installed by default in gutsy?11:11
rhetoricifireball, same error but it came up in ifconfig first try on restart11:11
lesshaste_linuxfce, I don't know.. how would I check?.11:11
lesshaste_also.. how do I tell the version number of an installed package?11:11
linuxfcein terminal type ntfs-3g11:11
rhetoricifireball, i can ping the other box11:12
linuxfcesee what it says11:12
ifireballrhetoric: cool, now see if you can ping the other machine's IP11:12
lesshaste_linuxfce, thanks.. that gave some info11:12
linuxfcei have ntfs-3g running automatically, my ntfs drive has read write at boot11:12
lesshaste_linuxfce, cool11:12
rhetoricifireball, yes11:12
ifireballrhetoric_: great, lets setup some hostnames, edit /etc/hosts11:12
linuxfcedo you need to know how to use it?11:12
ifireballrhetoric_: put the other machine's IP and name in each machine's file11:13
rhetoricifireball, mounted!11:13
linuxfcentfs-3g is good, does anyone know if theres a performance loss using ntfs-3g vs. a native ext3?11:14
rhetoricifireball it was already there as 127.0.0.1 ?11:14
rhetoricifireball could i have used that the whole time?11:14
rhetoricifireball GOD i must be tired ignore that11:15
rhetoricifireball mixing hostnames up of course and not reading11:15
ifireballrhetoric: no no no, don't touch that line, each machine sees itself as 127.0.0.111:15
ThreeFingerPetelinuxfce, ntfs suffers from fragmentation while the ext formats do not11:15
ThreeFingerPetethat is, ext3 doesnt need a defrag every so often11:16
linuxfcehmm, thats odd, i wonder how ext manages to not get fragmented11:16
linuxfcehow can i defrag my ntfs in linux?11:16
ifireballrhetoric: REPEAT for emphases: DO NOT TOUCH THE 127.0.0.1 LINE, its important11:16
ThreeFingerPeteodd but nice, right?11:16
scguy318linuxfce: you don't11:16
linuxfceyes, nice11:16
scguy318linuxfce: you do it on Windows11:16
linuxfcei dont have windows, and dont want it11:16
rhetoricifireball, i got it i see now i was just having a slow moment ;)11:17
linuxfceoh well thats just my movies, mp3s, etc. nothing that needs performance11:17
scguy318linuxfce: unfortunately that's the only choice, remember that stable NTFS on Linux took about 10 years ;)11:17
ifireballyou should config nfs with names rather then IPs so its easier to move around if you ever have to11:17
ThreeFingerPetelinuxfce, look for a aftermarket defrag for windows. it will run, restart the computer and defrag it outside windows. it will work much better11:17
rhetoricifireball, now just the fstab and hoping the feisty box is nice on reboot ya?11:17
scguy318linuxfce: as for ext, its the way it stores data I think11:18
scguy318!defrag11:18
ifireballwell, if you got the mounts and /etc/hosts.allow working, then yeah11:18
ubotudefragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.11:18
ake21285ciao a tuti11:18
scguy318!it | ake2128511:19
ubotuake21285: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!11:19
rhetoric_ifireball, do i need to setup hosts.allow when i used the gui to "share" the folder?11:19
ake21285ok thank you11:19
ake21285sorry..i'm a new user11:20
linuxfcei dont know why ubuntu doesnt run ntfs-3g mounting by default for all ntfs partitions11:20
lesshaste_how do you list the files in some package? Can apt-cache do that?11:20
ifireballrhetoric_: don't trust the GUI to keep you secure, as it is right now, ppl can probably mount your NFS over the internet11:20
ThreeFingerPetelinuxfce, if you right click mycomputer, then advanced, then performance...settings..then advanced in that..11:20
rtz779lesshaste_: dpkg -L packagename11:20
linuxfcei just umounted the ntfs partition, then remounted it with ntfs-3g. from then on it mounted it that way from boot. that was cool.11:20
lesshaste_rtz779, that doesn't work unless it's on your hard drive right? I was hoping apt-cache could do it11:21
rhetoric_ifireball: lol well it asked me what IP/host to allow in the gui11:21
ifireballrhetoric: you need to make sure /etc/exports enables access only from specific IPs, and that /etc/hosts.allow does that as well11:21
ThreeFingerPetelinuxfce, if you right click mycomputer, then advanced, then performance...settings..then advanced in that.. and change beside Virutal memory.. you can set your cache size to zero, which is that huge block you see near the end of the partition when you defrag.11:21
rtz779lesshaste_: no11:21
rhetoric_ifireball,what am i looking for in exports11:21
akramhttp://learntoc.blogspot.com/11:22
akramhttp://learntoc.blogspot.com/11:22
ifireballrhetoric: and you need to make sure the "ALL: PARANOID" line is in /etc/hosts.deny and not commented11:22
ThreeFingerPetelinuxfce, that is safe to do, but you will want to turn it back on later. I did that when I first installed ubuntu. once the install was done i went back and turned it on, and windows moved it.11:22
lesshaste_rtz779, yes... apt-cache show pkgname11:22

rtz779akram: do not spam11:23
ifireballrhetoric_: you should see the other host's IP before the option brackets11:23
ifireballrhetoric_: sees macd's example in his post11:23
linuxfceif there were an easy way to convert it to ext i would, but i dont feel like hassling it11:24
rtz779lesshaste_: apt-cache show pkgname lists you all files in the package?11:24
Retro`hello11:24
rhetoric_ifireball, i have done absolutely nothing after install to secure these machines :( mostly because i dont care (no sensitive data, really)11:24
linuxfcentfs-3g works so damn well. really impressive11:24
lesshaste_rtz779, I hope so...11:24
rtz779lesshaste_: i thought it would just give detailed info about the package but not its files11:24
menllyosi got a question, i use firestarter to setup the iptables, and now i just set it to use the outbound policy: restrictive by default. my event log is now going crazy though with stuff thats being blocked (1 block every second orso). Is this normal behaviour or should i jsut put it back on policy: permissive by default ?11:24
scguy318rhethoric_: but think of the potential criminal liability :P11:24
rhetoric_ifireball, both deny and allow are totally empty files?11:24
ifireballrhetoric_: well, its pretty secure out of the box since no services are installed by default11:24
Retro`I have install GRIP to rip my music CD's into mp3's but i have a problem... GRIP does not recognize that a CD is mounted11:24
ifireballrhetoric_: hmm, umount, then start filling them up as per to macd's example11:25
Retro`a.k.a. no songs are displayed in GRIP once the CD is inserted in the CD-ROM drive11:25
lesshaste_rtz779, I see what you mean... is there a better command?11:25
Vorbotemenllyos: if you haqve set up any kind of p2p servlet your putbound connections would be plenty11:25
ifireballrhetoric: then try to mount again (it'll probably no work on 1st attempt)11:25
menllyosyea but i already assigned those ports as ¨safe¨11:26
Retro`help11:26
rtz779lesshaste_: i think there is no command to list the files of an uninstalled package11:26
rhetoric_ifireball, he just has allow, and how would someone access it with the ip restriction in the export file?11:26

Retro`how can i lookup in which Cdrom device is the CD with the music in?11:28

anton_ how to delete a folder as root?11:33
rhetoric_ifireball, one last thing i know you have to go: what are the settings rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check11:33
linuxfcewhy is it that ubuntu makes me deal with restricted drivers. why cant this noob distro treat me like a noob and not be so gpl righteous11:33
ifireballrhetoric_: though I don't like that approach when it comes to nfs, if can behave badly if the machine ever becomes unavailable11:34
linuxfcewhat approach?11:34
ace_heya11:34
ace_been awhile since i used ubuntu11:34
ompaulanton_, you are going to break your machine I will pm it to you11:34
rhetoric_ifireball: this machine will be unavailable often, should i just make a script to mount it when i want to?:11:34
ace_been gentoo'in it up11:34
ifireballrhetoric_: just put (rw) to make it read/writable you probaly don't need the rest11:34
rhetoric_ifireball: because it's a laptop and all11:34

myke54142linuxfce, yup overkill11:35
ace_nah sources is great11:35
anton_thanks ompaul11:35
ifireballrhetoric_:just put "user" in the options column in fstab11:35
linuxfceit is great, but i like having a choice11:36
ifireballrhetoric_: then you can simply mount it manually with "mount /your/mount/point" as a normal user11:36
myke54142i usually use freebsd and never got why gentoo was such a big deal, with freebsd you usually do binary but you can easily rebuild both the core system and all packages from source11:36
linuxfcemount /dev/device /yourmountpoint11:37
myke54142i guess most linux distros weren't set up that way11:37
ifireballrhetoric_: in anycase don't include the "no_root_squash" bit, its terribly insecure and you probably don't need it11:37
Jordan_Umyke54142, Gentoo is based off of BSD ports11:37
linuxfceyeah thats where im at, source is fine with me, but dont force me to waste my time installing everything from source11:37
myke54142exactly11:37
myke54142i have a kiosk system on top of a gentoo with a broken gcc11:38
ompaulmyke54142, most of them go for packages you can verify - and are using things like apt or rpm to manage and install the programs11:38
myke54142anyone who loves gentoo should be forced to use it11:38
linuxfcethe whole "dont you want to know what you're getting" thing doesnt apply either, unless you can read all the code youre installing11:38
linuxfcegosh, imagine dep hell in gentoo. every damn dep11:38
ompaulmyke54142, a tad offtopic for here :)11:39
Vorbotemyke54142: this is offtopic, but the difference is the port architecture, I love FBSD but if I need linux I rather use Debian or a derivative like Ubuntu (that rocks on my laptop, btw) ;-)11:39
myke54142i built my own linux system from LFS when i needed a very custom system, and that was fun, but i wouldn't do it for your average system either11:39
ompaulmyke54142, we do have a #ubuntu-offtopic for stuff such as this ;-)11:39
rhetoricifireball, i think i can get it from here thank you SO much11:39

ompaullinuxfce, it is very very busy 85.314259% of the time11:40
linuxfcethats kinda the point11:40
ifireballrhetoric_: one more: you have a server-grade kind of setup now, it can give you awsome performance, you you sould really UNDERSTAND what you did, I really recommend reading the manpages for everything11:40
rhetoricifireball, wait will everything in fstab be loaded at boot or what?11:40

marsmissionsDoes anybody know how to get video to play with composite on using the latest FGLRX driver from the amd website?11:42
ifireballrhetoric: only lines in fstab that contain the "auto" option are mounted by default (I thing the "defaults" keyword includes it), if you put "user" instead it won't11:42
rhetoricifireball ok now i get it, thanks :)11:42
Jordan_Umarsmissions,11:42
Jordan_Umarsmissions, Don't use xv output11:43
ifireballrhetoric_: you don't need a script, /etc/fstab was designed to be a shortcut for mounting11:43

I've been trying to rebuild a collection of important files off a bunch of drives from a workstation that died and I had been successfully using a generic hard drive enclosure that would automagically mount all the volumes I needed. Problem is, now I'm not getting _anything_ when I plug it in. iv or gnome-volume-manager might flare up for a secon11:47

Myrtti!away | nomentero11:49
ubotunomentero: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines11:49
rhetoricifireball, in hosts.allow is it rpc.mountd or mountd or does that matter?11:49

During the installation of Ubuntu 7.10 Secer AMD64 she worked fine with the forcedeth driver, but after I boot the installed system the card doesn't work. The Kernel is 2.6.22-14-server (The install system of the CD runs the kernel 2.6.22-14-generic)12:03

wols_RandomShadowMan:  dpkg -l |grep nvidia12:13
PeecoIm running xp now12:13
Proteusscguy318, wols_, so syslog shows all the usb events I'd expect12:13
wols_aniac: not until you ask a sensible question we can answer12:13
scguy318Peeco: UNetBoot might do it12:13
VorbotePeeco: you can't boot from USB if the BIOS doesn't allow it.}12:13
ikoniaProteus: thats correct it will show you the events when you plug/unplug a device12:14
aniacwols O described the problem above though...12:14
Peeconope, unfortunately the bios doesnt allow12:14
scguy318Vorbote: well, yeah, he already said it couldn't do it :P12:14
tuxickdo all unbuntus use this adept thing?12:14
wols_Proteus: with udev it should but only if the kernel log shows them first. krenel not recognizing the new device: nothing syslog can or will do12:14
RandomShadowManhttp://pastebin.ca/83471312:14
scguy318tuxick: no, some of us use Synaptic12:14
Jordan_Utuxick, No, only Kubuntu12:14
aniacthe problem is that I can't view correctly greek named mp3's when i use exaile / amarok12:14
tuxickis that worse or better?12:14
ikoniawols_: I'm asking him to tail the log with another device plugging in to see if any events are being picked up, or just that device12:14
tuxickow i remember synaptic12:14
Peecoand my dvd drive is fooked!12:14
wols_aniac: cat /etc/environment12:15
gabbahdo i need to mount my linux partition before i run grub setup?12:15
Jordan_Utuxick, You can use synaptic in KDE12:15
scguy318Peeco: so try UNetBoot12:15
ikoniaPeeco: that language is uncalled for.12:15
tuxickJordan_U: sure :)12:15
Jordan_Ugabbah, No12:15
wols_ikonia: good idea, but kernel log doesn't care about udev or that jaczz. if usb device works, it is in demsg. if not...12:15
ikoniagabbah: no12:15
Peecoscguy318: ill have a look, thanks12:15
gabbahJordan_U what happens if i do mount it first?12:15
ikoniawols_: only if usb ports are hunh12:15
ikoniahung12:15
scguy318Peeco: basically just installs a few files and a new entry in boot.ini, shows up in NTLDR, you boot to it, then you do a net install12:15
tuxickanyway, atm i really need to know if there's any chance on getting flash working at all12:15
Peecoikonia: apologies, im new here12:15
Jordan_Ugabbah, Nothing that I know of12:16
ikoniaPeeco: your not, I've seen you in here before.12:16
tuxickwithout spending a day on incorrect instructions12:16
Vorbotescguy318: Try with a BIOS update with you maiinboard vendor, it may hekp12:16
gabbahJordan_U what happens if i do mount it first? what i do is root (hd0,5) and then setup (hd0)... but it says it can't find the partition12:16
tuxickno flash will mean i try something else12:16
scguy318Vorbote: I'm not the one with a problem :P12:16
aniacwols_ thanks but htere is LANG="el_GR.UTF-8" and LANGUAGE="el_GR:el:en_GB:en" for language...12:16
Jordan_Ugabbah, How may partitions do you have?12:16
aniacmaybe changing utf-8 to iso?12:16
scguy318Vorbote: did you mean to address Peeco?12:16
Peecoikonia: i joined yesterday under the alias peco112:17
wols_aniac: do you see empty squares instead of letters in those apps?12:17
Vorbotescguy318: Yep, lost the trhead.12:17
RandomShadowManwhat should i do?12:17
Peecothis was my first time!!12:17
gabbahJordan_U I have 3 partitions. ntfs - ext3 - ntfs.  But the ext3 is called /dev/sda512:17
Peecolatest bios doesnt allow also12:17
Proteusoh hey, I think the drive may have just been too hot12:17
American-TechDoes anybody here use mail notification12:17
wols_Peeco: there is a way but it's convoluted12:17
Proteusletting it cool off, then I'll try again12:17

Jordan_Ugabbah, Why is it called that?12:18
ikonia!away > png12:18
wols_rsize windows partition to make free space. install wubi to windows partition, inside wubi ren debootstrap12:18
gabbahJordan_U i mean, it says cannot mount selected partition, when i run setup12:18

png!iknow_it_was_just_a_mistake > ikonia12:18

Jordan_Ugabbah, I think that is because you are giving it the wrong partition12:18
gabbahJordan_U i don't know... it's always had that name.12:18
Peecoikonia: that is strange, as i only just began investigating ubuntu yesterday!!12:18
Microslave[Chief]: are you using 'gnome-network-manager' to configure the device?12:19
American-TechDoes anybody here use mail notification (The program)12:19
[Chief]Microslave: There is no X, it's the server distribution12:19
Peecowols: can you elaborate?12:19
Jordan_Ugabbah, Is the ext3 partition the first, second, or third partition? Are they all primary?12:19
tuxickaha! found useful clues12:19
gabbahJordan_U no matter what partition i give it in the root command, it always says cannot mount selected partition when i then run setup command12:19
tuxickhttp://blog.nixternal.com/2007.08.16/flash-and-64-bit-systems/12:19

tuxickshame package managers don't do these things for you12:20

sigraHello,  I am not finding much help on google for this problem and wondering if someone here can help.  when I go to system sounds and click test sound capture it is giving me a error.  in return I am not getting sounds on certain apps.12:23
fredericki'm logged on as root nobody ghost me12:23
wols_[Chief]: move it elsewhere. it should stop the eth renaming.12:23
gabbahJordan_U it seems u were right. it was partition number 4, instead of 5...12:23
gabbahJordan_U well at least setup command worked.. let's see if i can boot now12:23
aniacwols hmmm but i think there should be a solution... especially amarok is too famous and too many years in use... may I search somewhere else about that?12:24
aniacon the other hand it seems strange to me that none of both amarok and exaile doesn't provide an interface to choose charset...12:24
wols_[Chief]: I told you your RTL8211BL is NOT a network card. it's your network's PHY and the only place this is important is the connection of your PC to the ethernet cable12:24
gabbahJordan_U dammit.. now i get the menu, and i select to boot ubuntu, but i get error 17: cannot mount selected partition!12:24
Microslavewols_: I thought the point of that file was to guard against what [Chief] is seeing. (at least that is what the rule says it's suppose to do)12:24
[Chief]wols_: k, I moved it, teh server is restarting ..12:24

lonejackdoes somebody know how to show special chars, in particular this [ ` ], that is different respect to [ ' ]. Thank you12:25
wols_Microslave: it generates a new eth everytime a new MAC is in the system12:25
scguy318Peeco: covers some options, including mine I suggested12:25
[Chief]wols_: So, how can i find out the name of my network card?12:25
MortuisDoes anyone know if rsync can use protocol 1?12:25
Microslavewols_: yeah, same card *I would hope* would hold the same MAC addy.12:25
Peecoscguy318: cheers, im on the pages now having a browse12:25
wols_Peeco: I don't have a guide for this, it's something I just made up on the spot. while I know it will work it'S not easy for someone new and then the probability of destroying windows is high12:26
Mortuisugh, never mind. Of course once I break down and ask for help I find it in the man page.12:26
wols_[Chief]: you have an integrated nvidia GBit ethernet card which uses forcedeth as its driver12:26
tho1lonejack you can map keys to those special characters in a file called Xmodmap that you place in your home directory. It will be read at login.12:26
[Chief]wols_: k, thx, the device is now called eth0, I make another restart but I think it's working12:27
[Chief]wols_: But why does the driver always give me another MAC? is this a bug?12:27
wols_see what the message said12:28
lonejacktho1: under windows that char can be typed with a Alt-096, is it possible to do something similar under ubuntu?12:28
wols_[Chief]: it could be cause your chipset is very new and not fully properly recognized12:28
wols_or it could be your mobo maker screwed up, I don't know12:29

tho1lonejack there is a small X utility that displays all those characters. You can use that util to copy a character into the clipboard. I am looking to see if I can find it for you. There are also similar gnome- and kde- specific utilties that perform the same function, but I don't use either gnome or kde12:31

Buyydeeyes, try sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst12:50

Buyydeebmack: at the end of the file, there are the entries of your OS12:51
Wander_walbator: You think your granny can pull of a fresh Ubuntu install?12:51
user42gnomeboy thats in compiz fusion settings manager12:51
user42you can disable that there12:51
bmackis ubuntu recovery mode and memtest needed?12:51
gnomeboyyea wat is it called12:51
Buyydeebmack: delete the ones you don't like12:51
wols_Wander_w: since my granny can't install windows or ubuntu or OSX, who cares12:51
user42what you said, just do "advanced search"12:52
IndyGunFreakbmack: i would not delete recoverymode12:52
IndyGunFreakand don't delete them, just comment them out12:52
Buyydeebmack: you might need them when the system doesn't work properly, but you can start them from the cd12:52
Wander_wwols_: indeed12:52
bmackok12:52
bmackok12:52
bmackthanks12:52
Microslavewols_: :)12:52
albatorisnt the idea to continue to make the OS as simple to use as possible?12:52
bmacklove kubuntu btw :)12:52
IndyGunFreakthe minute you delete them, you'll need them, then its a pain in the ass12:52
user42compiz fusion is so damn cool12:52

_Lemon_Hey, I have one Windows XP machine which has an ad-hoc wireless network set up on it, my computer can connect to it with Windows but my Ubuntu installation can't seem to connect at all, what can I do to remedy the situation?12:53
albatorI only mention it as there is already some really nice un techy symatics included in other things12:53
user42is ubuntu the first distro to really make an attempt at linuxifying noobs?12:53
IndyGunFreakthats why the # sign is a beautiful thing... if you read menu.lst, it tells you if you put # in front of the line, it will be ignored12:53
bmackright12:53
* Kirua_ fais la pompom girl12:53
andysYesterday I foolishly installed a kernel update on my xubuntu 7.10. I encrypted the hd with dm-crypt (wiki) and so it doesn|t boot after that kernel update. what should I do now? I already tried following the tutorial again, but I either get a file not found error when booting or a cant boot from selected partition error12:53
wols_bmack: why would you want to delete it?12:53
Wander_wuser42: No, not by a long shot12:53
IndyGunFreakso you put the # sign in front of a menu listing, it won't be shown.., if you need it, all you have to do is delete the pound sign12:53
user42oh, ok12:53
gnomeboyuser42 i still cant find it12:53
wols_IndyGunFreak: you can edit grub menu "on the fly", tho I doubt bmack could do it when he actually needs it12:53
Wander_wuser42: But it is one of the first that noobs actually notice12:53
bmackmy girl isnt to computer smart and doesnt know which to choose12:54
user42gnomeboy hold on ill find it12:54
IndyGunFreakwols_: and that is my point.12:54
gnomeboythanks12:54
IndyGunFreaki didn't say it couldn't be done12:54
turbocueca__Hello12:54
bmackso id rather it just boot vista for her by default12:54
wols_IndyGunFreak: not to mention it will be back after the next update-grub12:54
wols_bmack: then set vista as default12:54
IndyGunFreakwols_: again though, you're dealing with people here who are clueless about linux.12:54
turbocueca__When I share a folder using samba @ ubuntu gutsy, I can see the folder in the network, but while accessing it, says it doesn't exist12:54

user42gnomeboy i have seen it before, but now i cant find it either, wierd12:56
IndyGunFreakbmack: doesn't know which o choose?  just set grub to give you 15-20sec to choose, i would think she'd know how to choose vista... i'd hope anyway12:56
user42it shouldnt raise window on mouse over by default12:56
IndyGunFreakregardless though, Vista as default should work fine.12:56

* Microslave gets downright angry with compiz.. ok, now I know it's the problem... I have this lappie with ATI video card, with the fglx driver and compiz the thing over heats and shuts off.... I remove compiz it does come close to overheating12:57
Wander_wI'd say; If your girlfriend isn't computer-smart, then set Ubuntu as default.. Did that for my girlfriend when she broke Windows12:57
gnomeboyi remember seeing it..now i cant find it >_<12:57
IndyGunFreakWander_w: lol.. good point12:57
Wander_wMicroslave: That is not a problem of compiz, it's your hardware that malfunctions12:57
MicroslaveWander_w: worked well?  my girl keeps breaking `doze and I haven't gotten up to formatting her system12:57
user42lol gnome i have no idea where that thing is, i searched for "raise" "mouse" "mouse over" and got nothing12:58
Wander_wMicroslave: yes, works like a charm12:58

MicroslaveWander_w: mine either12:59

Wander_wMicroslave: then go for it12:59
gnomeboyn then?12:59
gnomeboyi use ccsm12:59
Wander_wMicroslave: My girlfriend was pretty pleased by the fast bootup, and lack of options (I set Windowmaker with just 1 icon on it (browser))13:00

jhaigNot entirely sure what I have done, but now every time I click on a link in Firefox, the link opens in a background tab, and the scroll wheel on my mouse changes the size of the text, instead of scrolling the page.  Anyone know what I might have turned on, and how to turn it off again?  Thanks.13:00
Wander_wMicroslave: I allso set the poweroff button (the one on the case) to act as a "proper" shutdown procedure; it's really easy for her13:01
Buyydeejhaig: sounds like ctrl-lock :D maybe reboot? or broken keyboard13:01
MicroslaveWander_w: well, I could blame the ATI M24 (mobility x600) chip but it's ATI I except it act like crap13:01
singhthanks to all for making ubuntu a great stuff13:02
jhaigBuyydee: I'm using synergy.  Might that be causing problems?13:02
Wander_wMicroslave: Any hardware that overheats from normal use is BROKEN in my opinion13:02
Buyydeejhaig: i'm not familiar with that, sry13:02
user42i wish i could pay my respect to open source developers without having to donate money13:02
MicroslaveWander_w: I was thinking if setting it to be more as a sleep/hibernate; she doesn't turn her laptop off13:02

Wander_wMicroslave: Good idea13:02
jhaigBuyydee: Synergy is for using one mouse and keyboard for two (or more) machines.13:03
user42i could do some nice howto's13:03
theunixgeekHow can I install templates in Nautilus?13:03
Wander_wuser42: Great idea! go for it13:03
user42and i have an extremely valuable nvidia hack that fixes a huge compiz fusion thats heavily reported13:03
rhetoric*sigh* i did something very bad. i changed /etc/fstab while a NFS mount was mounted, then tried to unmount it, now i've broken gnome ><13:04
theunixgeekHow do I install templates in nautilus?13:04
Wander_wuser42: Really? where can I find it? I still get black flickerings now and then13:04
Buyydeejhaig: might be, unplug your keyboard from the device and plug it in directly to your computer while it is off, then start it. if the problem persists, your synergy isn't the source. be back here then :)13:04
user42the black flickering is caused by the theme13:05
user42if the theme is set to something thats not skinned you wont see that black flicker on any menu or anything13:06
Wander_wuser42: Really? then why does it work allright untill after I open 15+ applications?13:06
AliTarihiHi everyone!13:06
singhsomtimes my monitor gets blank after successful booting.13:06
AliTarihiI have a question: I've installed the latest Nvidia driver but I have no 3D acceleration.13:07
rhetoricif i log in to gnome (even the default session) my system load goes through the roof and im unable to do anything :( god i feel stupid atm13:07
user42beats me, less resources i guess. if you right click on the desktop and hit change desktop background, then go to the theme tab, and hit customize, and select the thinice theme you wont have black flickering13:07
singhi witness all the booting process but after gdm is started it suddenly gets blank on the monitor13:07
user42but the main nvidia problem im talking about is that nvidia downclocks its cards when theres no intensive 3d animation going on, but it doesnt react quickly enough to speed back up when you, say, drag a window after a short idle period13:08
Microslave"why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill"....13:08
singhhelp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11somtimes my monitor gets blank after successful booting.13:08
singhi witness all the booting process but after gdm is started it suddenly gets blank on the monitor13:08
user42so you get a real choppy response for a few seconds, which ruins tons of animations13:08

rhetoricMyrtti: i tried to unmount an NFS share after changing its fstab entry13:52

ace__tilda is just another quake console type terminal emulator13:58
sayersWander_w, wait I was confused it is also a key right above tab left of 113:58
Wander_wcan't say i'd be impressed by that13:59
sayersIf you used the terminal a lot you would be.13:59
Wander_w1 terminal isn't enough anyway13:59
Wander_w(got nine running now)13:59

WorkingOnWis1i have totally screwed up my gnome session somehow. If I log in to a gnome session, everything in the panels, and the panes themselves, crash, leaving me only the desktop, and alt-f2 to run apps. I can log into an E-Gnome session (gnome using enlightenment) and the default panels load and all is good. Whats the fastest way to get my regular Gnome defaults back?14:06
Wander_wWorkingOnWis1: delete the .gnome directory in your home directory?14:06
argieHere's the forum thread I posted in detail in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65202014:07
argieBasically, what happened is ubiquity crashed while partitioning and now both GParted and Ubiquity show the drive as unpartitioned. However fdisk reports that the partitions exist and that "Partition table entries are not in disk order". It also claims that "Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite)".14:07
rhetoricso.. can anyone help with this horrible mess i made with NFS14:07
argieHowever, it's labelled 'Warning:' and I suppose I only have one shot at this so I'd like to know what I should do from someone who knows what it's about.14:08
chazcoHi... using the keyboard shortcuts tool I have setup my remote to work Totem... is there any way I can make it work on Kaffeine also (i think i need to find where the keyboard shortcut editor on the menu saves its commands)14:08
Regelchazco, infrared remote?14:09
Wander_wargie: I'd make a backup of your partition table; you should use dd for that like: dd if=/dev/hda of=~/my_partition_table_backup count=123   Lookup the correct way to do this14:09
chazcoRegel - yep14:09
Regelchazco, try 'IRkick'14:09
chazcoIt acts like a keyboard, so I set the PLAY button to work as play/pause with the keyboard shortcuts (so no extra apps)... but it only works on Totem, not kaffeine14:10
justbluemailhi, when I try to set desktop effects from none no normal or extra I get this "Desktop effects could not be enabled". The desktop effects had worked already but they stop working ofter something I did ( I think it was when I was trying to run cs source with wine but not sure).  Does anyone know how to fix this?14:10
herbaliseanybody used http://sadms.sourceforge.net to add ubuntu 7.10 to active directory domain?14:10

Regelchazco, it should give you something to configure with KDE programs such as amarok and kaffeine14:10
argiewander_w: Thank you. I'll do that now.14:10
justbluemailwols: I didn't installed any driver14:11
Regelchazco, it's in the package called kdelirc14:11

EtteSBcan you make a ubuntu liveCD without DLing something. IE can ubuntu make one by its self?14:12
chazcoRegel - most of the IR apps dont work with it, since it pretends to be a keyboard... its like pressing the PLAY key on a multimedia keyboard... but since Kaffeine isnt installed by default it doesnt seem to work with the gnome keyboard shortcuts tool14:12
axelorHerbailise: do you have krb5 installed?14:12
wols_justbluemail: you did. no driver: no X. so what driver do you use?14:12

rhetoricifireball, the system load avg is 5.71 i can see my gnome panel heh14:14

bazhangBuyydee: nice to know! thanks14:15
rhetoricifireball, the only other thing i did was edit my start-compiz script and i left a blank line or two at the bottom maybe14:16
|Z_E_R_O|i have a problem with my reflex. i'm trying to import images in unbuntu but i can't open them because ubuntu don't know file type. from terminal i typed "file 001.jpg" and it returned "empty" what can i do?14:16
BuyydeeHippotamus: what is the error? And do you mount it manually?14:16
EtteSBaxelor: well i have ubuntu installed. and i no longer have the live CD that i installed with. im wanting to make another without downloading the install file again.14:16
rhetoricifireball, if i run top from a terminal (ctrl-alt-fkey) i can see "apport" taking ~5% CPU and it keeps dissapearing and reaapearing14:16
ifireballrhetoric: doesn't sound like the cause of the problem, but its easy to find out, disable compiz and see what happens...14:16
wols_justbluemail: it's a command to run14:16
HippotamusBuyydee: wait a second, I'll write it down14:16
boston`good afternoon14:17
revilodrawifireball; an easy way to disable compiz?14:17
noorI seem to be losing audio periodically.  A restart seems to fix it, but restarting ALSA doesn't.  This most recent time I was watching a two file movie and when it switched over to the second file the audio was no longer working! (this was in vlc and other programs like amarok had no sound)  The first time I noticed this problem was right after I installed the FF 3 beta yesterday...if that means anything.  Firefox was not running during any of14:17
noor this recent stuff, however.14:17
rhetoricifireball, but my CPU usage is shown at 70%+ constantly, and i cant load anything in gnome it's frozen pretty much14:17
Buyydeerevilodraw: system, preferences, appearance, then at the rightmost tab switch details to low14:17
Hippotamusbuyydee: Mount is denied because NTFS is in use.14:17
Wander_wrhetoric: try this command in a terminal and show me the results: ps -aeo stat,pid,fname | grep ^D14:17
rhetoricwander_w, 1 moment14:18
revilodrawbuyydee; oh yeh lol thanks14:18
justbluemailwols_: I placed that on console and got -> grep: output: File or folder does not exist14:18
ifireballrevilodraw: system->prefs->appearance->effects->set to none14:18
rhetoricWander_w, that isnt returning anything14:19
Wander_wrhetoric: damn14:19
ifireballrhetoric: lets take this one step at a time, disable compiz and the line in fstab and reboot, see what happens14:19
BuyydeeHippotamus: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force14:19
rhetoricifireball, kk14:19
noorI guess for a specific question, how does one restart the audio stuff completely?14:19
ifireballrhetoric: also check diskspaces, see if you ran out somewhere14:20
revilodrawifireball: ok, well my problem is definitely caused by compiz.... when im playing jpegs as a slideshow, when it changes slides/pics the screen flickers black squares...14:20
ifireballrevilodraw: probably not enough screen memory, compiz has problems in that department14:20
revilodrawnoor; i dont know, have u made sure u r using the right device?14:21
kkouwei'm getting this error when i try 'apt-get -f install'14:21

Wander_wnoor: stop all applications using audio (including artsd and the like) then rmmod you sound card modules and modprobe them back in14:21
HippotamusBuyydee: I also use the drive for my windows, and it's not mine (borrowed), so it needs to still run with Win XP14:21
ifireballrevilodraw: that means nothing, where does is get its screen memory? does it has its own, does it share with RAM?14:22
noorrevilodraw, well, everything has beening working fine for weeks and it was working then suddenly stopped working14:22

revilodrawnoor; i would try.... one sec14:22
cuteharezsnchrptr which driver14:22
HippotamusBuyydee: Ok, just wanted to be sure.14:23
ifireballrevilodraw: might as well have only 128mb of it...14:23
ExtractedHow do you register your Nick ?14:23
revilodrawnoor; system, preferences, sound, and make sure its the hda intel mixer14:23
snchrptrcuteharez: all of them? what i mean is has it been tested with the ePC. i'm sure it has specific drivers because of it's formfactor14:23

rhetoricifireball, now the reason i changed the file in the first place... ok i had it mounted to a folder on my desktop14:25
noorrevilodraw, which one?  Device: is SiS SI7012 (Alsa mixer)14:25
ifireballrevilodraw: the amount of memory compiz needs = approx. sum of width*height of all open windows, that amounts to alot14:25
revilodrawnoor; try the other one14:25
melodosgrdo you guys know how do i change the color properties on gimp? i need a 14 color image to make my splashscreen..14:25
rhetoricifireball, BUT when i mounted it, ANOTHER icon appears, both going to the share (very ugly)14:25
kkouwehelp! apt-get -f install... isn't working, what to do now??14:25
rhetoricifireball, so should i just mount it to like /media/box2 and then make a desktop shortcut?14:25
cuteharezsnchrptr i'm sure there is just that you have to do some googling14:25
axelorkkouwe: what were u trying to install?14:26

cuteharezsnchrptr isn't Eee PC a linux distro14:27
ifireballrhetoric: does it give you an icon when ts not mounted?14:27
bazhangcuteharez: join #eeepc14:27

axelorkkouwe: what were u upgradeing from and what are u trying to upgrade to?14:27
Arelisis XGL safe to use?14:28
rhetoricifireball, the directory has to exist for it to be mounted BUT it loads another icon when i mount it, although it just occured to me why... i forgot where the setting is though14:28
snchrptrcuteharez: yeah but it's watered down. i'm going to install ubuntu or xp on it. whichever i can get to work better. i havent figured a lot of ubutntu out and i'd like to use it. but it's so hard to find answers. :P i've got it installed on my work laptop now and it seems to be doing ok14:28
kkouweaxelor: http://paste.lisp.org/display/5316014:28
rhetoricifireball, the setting to show things that get mounted (like cdrom) on the desktop is doing it14:28
ifireballrhetoric: the gnome slowness was probably due to nautilus doing wacky things with the fstab line... sometimes it tries to be _too_ friendly...14:28
rhetoricso yea i'll just mount it to like /media/box214:28
Wander_wPlease define "safe" Safe; it son't blow up the computer; safe; it'll work; safe; won't get an std from it14:28
TheEaglethanks Blu3pr1nt! but it was just a typing error :)14:28
Blu3pr1ntTheEagle: np ^^14:29
rhetoricifireball, it was probably because i was missing an "&" after my last command in that start-compiz script, and had like 2 blank lines after14:29
ifireballrhetoric: I really don't see how the 2 things are related14:29
rhetoricifireball, either way it's back to normal now14:29

pbxHI all. Is there any way to get aptitude to be smarter/faster when checking for installed apps?  Running a few selective "install" (upgrade) commands in a row I feel like there are some missed caching opportunities there. Or are all the cool kids using something else now?  Anyway, an example: http://dpaste.com/29205/14:32
arvin_I've got some problems, I'm trying to play WC314:32
arvin_But it's soo laggy14:32
arvin_With WIne (in ubuntu)14:32

arvin_Warcraft III14:33

ifireballrhetoric: ugly as hell, but of it works...14:33
Wander_wpbx: I'm a cool kid and I'm using apt-get14:33
rhetoricifireball, could i just remove the lines from /etc/network/interfaces and put it all in the script?14:33
rhetoricifireball, since it's doing no good there anyways14:34

bazhanghi JoeyV14:34
pbxWander_w, and is it faster than aptitude for stuff like that?14:34

promagany thoughts?14:36
JoeyVquestion... I've searched high and low, but cant find the answer to it.14:36
JoeyVHow can I change the resolution of the shell, as in, NOT inside of X, but rather if I hit ctrl+alt+F2.  When I do that t access the shell, the letters are giant, and I can't read anything past 7 lines because it is out of the view of my monitor14:36
Proteuscould anyone help me with my mounting problems?14:36
pbxWander_w, would switching from aptitude to apt-get on a working (but not mission-critical) machine be unwise?14:36
rhetoricProteus, what kind of mounting problems? (that sounds so wrong)14:36
Dr_willisJoeyV,  thats the 'console' and you can set the res at boot time, or use the fbset command to change it on the fly.14:36
Wander_wpbx: they work side by side without any problem14:36
JoeyVthanks Dr_willis14:37

Dr_willisJoeyV,  but your issue sounds like the framebuffer is buggy yoy mayt want to disable it competely14:37

JoeyVhow do I disable the framebuffer14:37
ProteusI'm trying to mount an external drive - which had previously worked fine - but now the magic smoke is gone and I'm suddenly unable to see the automounted partitions14:37
Proteusthe enclosure is new14:37
Wander_wpbx: You'd see a lot more mission-critical machines using apt-get then aptitude14:37
Dr_willisJoeyV,  the 'nofb' optin to the kernel will do that. edit the menu.lst file. read the comments. :)14:37

I adjust access by means of smbpasswd. A command is executed, but a record in a file /etc/16:16

socketbindmirak: but well copying it one by one should accomplish it huh? :D18:56

calamarideadlock: then how could you even plug in the speakers and headphones at the same time?18:57

soundrayMerlin: ask your question here. You will be redirected if appropriate18:58
calamarideadlock: yeah but that just plays the same thing as in the back.. either that or you have to set a jumper for either front OR back18:58
calamarideadlock: I suppose one option is if you have surround sound, then maybe you can use the surrounds as a second out?18:59

Dr_willissofiankrt,  thats a feature of the irc client.21:47
BehiiMehiix3roconf: irssi isn't the problem, the problem is that I don't know how to work Linux at all, so I don't even know how to open the program I've installed21:47
OnyxBehiiMehii: Why do you want to use irssi?  It's a great console IRC client (best IMO), but X-Chat is much more user friendly.21:47
sofiankrtnickrud: is this in red?21:47
annonymousedone21:47
x3roconfok21:47
nickrudsofiankrt, yes21:48
OnyxBehiiMehii: You can open irssi by typing irssi in the console.21:48
sofiankrtnickrud, cool. so what do I do now?21:48
Dr_willisBehiiMehii,  open up a terminal, type irssi, hit enter.. You proberly should read some linux starter guides if thats total voodoo to you.21:48
nickrudsofiankrt, and a fast way to fill out the nick is to type in just a few letters, then hit the tab key21:48
OnyxBehiiMehii: I'd really recommend X-Chat though...21:48

Vorboteharitos: you¿ll have to mount the usbfs filesystem by hand, ]Ubuntu dropped support some releases ago. And add it to /etc/fstab as well.21:50

nickrudsofiankrt, there's a program ntfsundelete , I've never used it, and you'd need to have internet access to install it in ubuntu. Maybe mandriva has that tool also22:09
^root^PriceChild, Thought so... about your problem, that strange...22:10
PriceChild^root^, aha... dmesg tells me 800 mb lowmem availiable, no highmem22:10
sofiankrtnickrud: should I download it on Mandriva?22:10
Vorbotesofiankrt: install gart and check if it can see the lost windows partition. As long as you have written anything on it, it may be recoverable.22:10
^root^PriceChild, what about top?22:10
Vorbotesofiankrt: gpart, sorry22:10
sofiankrtVorbote: gpart on Mandriva?22:11
nickrudsofiankrt, yes. But again, I've never used it so you'd need to get someone else to help you with that part.22:11
^root^PriceChild, also try free22:11
PriceChild^root^, just 800mb.... hmm googling says i'm using a lowmem kernel... 38622:11
VorboteYup, it is a cli application.22:11

che_friscoHi all. I'm about to install gutsy (i was too lazy to do it earlier) and I wanted to know if the 64 bit version supported intel chips. It currently only mentions AMD on the wiki...22:17
Dr_willisi never want to make rar's i always want to Unrar stuff these other guys just seem to HAVE to use rar for.22:17
nickrudsofiankrt, and pwd is print working directory, just wanna make sure :)22:18
pike_BehiiMehii: yes you can install firestarter which is a gui front end to iptables if ya want to use iptables firewall22:18
jgooDr_willis: it is in the package manager, and unrar isn't. Plus it has a -e option that appears to do nothing - I think it should be removed... :-/22:18
NetLarIrvineis there something on the install image that can check the disk?22:18
Dr_willisgotta love a split rar arhive thats an .iso thats full of .zip files. that make a executable...22:18

nickrudsofiankrt, that means we're working from the right place. Next, type:   mv  .Trash-sofiankrt/*   .      <-- don't forget the dot, separated by a space. This will move the files out of the trash22:19

BehiiMehiiMy 360's unable to connect to Xbox Live, I thought maybe this thing has something to do with it22:20

Weasel[DK]yes i thought so23:22
Flannelrodolfo, Weasel[DK], not really.  You don't get whatever gain you would from the 64bit OS, but 32bit OS wont run slower on it23:23

Gneamagic_ninja: ~/.gconf/23:26
LimCorehow to make it not possible to bypass root password by booting into rescue mode etc?23:26
nickrudAvt, the ubuntu security model is built around using sudo rather than having an actual root password. Alternative, some say better, some say worse. It works23:26
k3itoGnea: is there any way to have amarok store the artwork downlaoded by the cover manager in the relevant folder and not in it's own unique database backend!23:26
ompaulLimCore, put a password on your grub23:26
Gneak3ito: that's an amarok issue, ask them23:27
inchk3ito I don't think there is one that will let you browse by the album art but Amarok displays the album art for each album so you may give that a try23:27
ompaulLimCore, you need to get in at some level if you encrypt everything I hope you never forget any password23:27

notvryanov i do not have any options for exporting to mp3, only wav, flac, and sorts23:40
Tallenrodolfo: yes. lshw reports that correctly. The BIOS reports 4028MB RAM. Dmesg reports 3200MB + 896MB found. But 'free -m' only reports 2.9GB total RAM.23:40
jepes_shpook: its completely dead on ubuntu, but it works well under windows.23:40
Gnarkillirc://Irc.Wild-Bytes.org/wild-bytes23:40
carrierBagFlannel: yes, I'm sure. And I need the bundled version of GD, which is not included in ubuntu LTS for security reasons.. :/23:40
mpetersi experience the same issues running sudo alsamixer23:41
owner10010101thx do u know the weblink for the site23:41
mpetersmaster doesn't have any affect on volume, but pcm does23:41
mpeters:/23:41
Shpookjepes_: what kind of mouse? (brand/model)23:41
LjLnotv: File / Apply Chain / MP3 Conversion works here. not sure if it's supposed to be available from Export as well23:41
Gnurduxdoes ubuntu use a grub stage 1.5?23:41
FlannelGnurdux: yes23:41
KlrSpzTallen: wow that's really weird, i really don't know what to say.. it works flawless on my box at work i know23:41
Gnurduxok23:41
Gnurduxand hwere is it put?23:41
Shpookjepes_: also, is it connected via P/S2 or USB?23:41
TallenKlrSpz: its making me wacko.23:41
ryanovTallen: What HW?23:41
Gnurduxin the beginning of the ubuntu partition?23:41
lukaszwhy do I get mesa xfree 86 missing?23:42
rodolfoTallen: have you already run memtest to see whats going on?23:42
jepes_ps/2 generic optical mouse with scroll, previous was also ps/2 generic witout scroll and not optical23:42
Tallenryanov: this pastebin has all alot of details about my issue -> http://www.pastebin.org/1324223:42
Greevoushow can I cd into a hidden directory in the terminal?23:42
ryanov640k should be enough for anyone.23:42
Tallenrodolfo: the RAM is seen by the BIOS fine. The problem is something with the kernel I sumize.23:42
bitmonkGreevous: same as any other.  you mean a directory starting with '.' ?23:42
ryanovGreevous: Nothing different23:42
bitmonkjust "cd .foo/"23:42
Greevousbitmonk: do I need to add "sudo"?23:43
lukasz!find mesa23:43
ubotuFound: libgl1-mesa-dev, libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg, libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg (and 18 others)23:43
lukaszhmm23:43
jepes_shpook: ps/2 generic optical mouse with scroll, previous was also ps/2 generic witout scroll and not optical23:43
bitmonknope.  dotfiles / dir are only semantically hidden, e.g. ls filters them, they are not hidden from you.23:43
magic_ninjanickrud: i think i'm getting it figured out, ty, btw guys if you want a lightweight, customizable wm, try icewm its lightweight, but its really customizable23:43
bitmonkwell, maybe ls doesn't filter them.  i don't know off-hand, but they are filtered, not restricted.23:43
Shpookjepes_: can you paste your xorg.conf to pastebin.org for me?23:44
bitmonkmagic_ninja: i have spent many late nights with icewm, good stuff23:44
ryanovbitmonk: They don't show without -a. I guess that's filtering.23:44
simmer1is there a channel that is best suited to helping with routing issues?23:44
Greevousbitmonk: ryanov: I get a "permission denied" when I try to simply cd into it23:44
jepes_shpook: ok,23:44
bitmonkGreevous: that's not because of dots, but because of permissions23:44
bitmonktry ls -ld .foo/23:44
bitmonkshould tell you who owns it and what access uga have23:44
=== ubuntu__ is now known as Nanim
rodolfonickrud: unlike windows, ubuntu has no limited memory recognizer uh?23:45
LjLrodolfo: a what?23:45
magick211Hello guys im trying ot "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and its asking for the ubuntu cdrom, i dont have it here wiht me is there anything else i can do?23:45
=== mark__ is now known as invalidsyntax
ryanovTallen: Interesting.23:45
LjLmagick211: remove it from Software Sources23:45
notvljl where does apply chain  export the mp3 to?23:46
magick211LjL, Can you tell me how to do that?23:46
Greevousbitmonk: root owns it, so do I need to change permissions with chown or chmod in order to copy files to and from?23:46
pike_magick211: easiest way is to launch synaptic and do it there23:46
bitmonkGreevous: yeap, and you need sudo for chown and chmod23:46
rodolfoLjL: some versions of windows is limited...i mean you can install 2x2GB on a windows "starter" edition, but it will only recognize 2GB of your 4GB...(thats an example). does that happen on ubuntu?23:46
OnyxAnyone know how I can get vmware on my amd64?23:46
LjLmagick211: not from Software Sources, because i'm not on GNOME... but it should be pretty trivial really. anyway from console, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the CD-ROM lines23:46
bitmonkrodolfo: absolutely not ever because of any arbitrary limit.23:46
bitmonk(only if your mobo had issues - not some licensing scam)23:47
magick211Ljl, Thanks i will do that now23:47
joesoundguyanyone using songbird?23:47
ryanovTallen: Assuming you haven't tried going with a PAE kernel23:48
ryanov?23:48
Greevousbitmonk: so there's no way to access the files without changing the permissions, since "sudo cd" doesn't work...23:48
Avtshould I sudo apt-get install xscreensaver ??? in gutsy or no23:48
ryanovsudo is not really going to work for that.23:48
bitmonkyeah you can't sudo cd23:48
bitmonkyou can sudo su -23:48
Shpookjepes_: You got it posted yet?23:48
pike_Avt: yes it is in gutsy23:48
bitmonkor sudo bash23:48
EnselicGreevous: just sudo ls?23:48
bitmonkand then cd23:48
ryanovbitmonk: sudo -s23:48
Avtit say it not installed23:48
bitmonkyou can also sudo ls23:48
bitmonkyou can sudo anything23:48
jepes_shpook: im almost there23:48
hatterhow do i know which user to add to a group if this happens :  zmc_dvideo0[8707]: ERR [Failed to open video device /dev/video0: Permission denied]23:48
nickrudmagic_ninja, good to hear. rodolfo what was the cause?23:48
bitmonkbut not cd, because having su powers to switch dir doesn't help you have access to be in that dir once you lose su power23:48
ryanovGreevous: sudo -s for a root shell.23:48
Enselichatter: sudo usermod -G video user23:49
wolshatter: ls -al /dev/video023:49
* bitmonk defer to ryanov 23:49
Tallenryanov: how exactly would I do that? what are any pitfalls of such a kernel?23:49
rodolfobitmonk, nickrd: and have you noticed some bu related to the "kernel-does-not-recgnize-my-amount-of-memory"?23:49
Avtwhy it say xscreensaver isnt installed but it is23:49
LjLryanov: sudo -i is often a better idea though23:49
Greevousryanov: okay, that works. Thanks.23:49
bitmonk"bu" ?23:49
magick211Ljl, I installed the build essential erlier and tried to patch my mad-wifi drivers but my laptop batter died in the process, now when i try to patc i get error. Do i need to remove the build essential that i downloaded erlier?23:49
ryanovTallen: No idea, I just generally listen to the kernel messages if they tell me to try something. :23:49
ryanov:)23:49
Shpookjepes_: okay, not trying to rush you or anything, I was just curious. :-)23:49
wolsrodolfo: does your BIOS recognize it?23:49
alex_someone here has an ipaq hp ?23:49
AvtThe program 'xscreensaver' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:23:49
Avtsudo apt-get install xscreensaver23:49
nickrudrodolfo, not for years, I used to have to add MEM=xxx to lilo23:49
* bitmonk has a stupid redhat server which only sees 3.5G of 4G but am told it's the supermicro motherboard and don't even think it has anything to do with the kernel23:49
wolsbitmonk: bug I guess23:49
invalidsyntaxI tried to use hda0,1 in grub for windows and it said ntldr missiing23:49
rodolfonickrud: that's whats going on Tallen's computer...check this out: http://www.pastebin.org/1323123:49
Avtand im in gutsy should be here ya23:49
Tallenryanov: well I saw that , but I am not using more than 4GB so I didnt think it applied.23:49
alex_I can see that it uses the ipaq.c driver23:50
jepes_shpook: im having trouble running thru tabs on firefox (pastebin.org) newarly there)23:50
KlrSpzGnea: you around?23:50
ryanovLjL: /me defer to LjL :)23:50
ryanovWhoop-s.23:50
alex_but what's the application to use ?23:50
zippytechany one know why when i enable dual monitors with nvidia and set res to 1280x1024 i have a screen that moves when i hit the edge of the monitor23:50
Avtail my screensaver woes23:50
hatterEnselic, wols, thx,  /dev/video0  belongs to video group,  but how do i know which 'user' to add to it ?23:50
LjLnotv: uhm, i think if you've saved the project in audacity, it will tell you where it's going to export to. it's weird though23:50
sinthey, i don't get the init system of ubuntu .. how to get removed stuff from starting while boot except using update-rc.d?? i always get: "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/bla exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)"23:50
nickrudrodolfo, what does free say?23:50
KlrSpzzippytech: are your frequencies correct?23:50
Enselichatter: the user that you want to be able to access ideo23:50
Enselicvideo*23:50
rodolfonickrud: excuse me?23:50
wolshatter: whoami23:50
bitmonksint: something is wrong or you are using it wrong, probably..23:50
lukaszdamn I can't seem to find Xfree86-dri hmm23:51
ryanovTallen: The fact that it mentioned it is interesting, though... I'm not sure what causes it to print that message.23:51
invalidsyntaxany ideas?23:51
nickrudrodolfo, ah, I'm reading back, seeing more. and free is the command to check memory status23:51
bitmonkbut you should learn how the underlying rc system works. look in /etc/rc*.d23:51
magick211LjL, I dont see a cd rom line in my /etc/apt/sources.list23:51
owner10010101sry mates whats the addy for media ubuntu23:51
bitmonkusually rcN.d where N is a runlevel number23:51

wolslukasz: cause it doesn't exist anymore, just like XFree86, at least not in ubuntu23:51
bitmonksint: is that what the manpage says to do?23:51

lukasz:)23:58
ryanovI don't remember why, but I remember wanting to just use the exact Ubuntu kernel and change an option and build it.23:58
ryanovAnd their build process didn't seem to work on their kernel.23:58
ryanovSomething about PATHs all screwed up.23:58
ryanovAnd I came across it in the Wiki or something that said you shouldn't really be doing it, do they made it hard, or something silly like that.23:59
Tallenryanov: wonder if the 'server' ubuntu kernel has this PAE enabled?23:59
