"sudo umount /media/disk" unmounts whatever is at "media/disk" [00:07] ive never had a problem [00:07] Megaqwerty: what is root:root? can i change that to my ssh username and also root? [00:07] took about an hour though [00:07] just so i dont have to re-login as root [00:07] i just reinstalled linux cuz someone hacked me and deleted my /bin [00:07] levander, did you install your new hard drive? if you have, just boot up with the ubuntu CD and during the install, tell it to use that empty disk. [00:07] i cant acces my other machine which has a samba share on it [00:08] p34r: root:root means owned by user root and group root [00:08] MotherDear: isn't there some kind of rescue mode? [00:08] i can see it on the network [00:08] Huffalump: What about installing grub, is there anything special I do? [00:08] but cant connect [00:08] Megaqwerty: then i can make a group 'root' and add my user to it? [00:08] p34r: you can change it to root:username because I think ubuntu makes a group for every user [00:08] OK, so after installation, I took out CD and restarted like the wizard told me to, then while the computer was booting up, the first message it gave me was Loadinbg GNU. Loading GNU Please Wait... and then it freezes at that for more then 3 hours, (after that I shut it down) [00:08] how can i login as as root from login screen in ubuntu? [00:08] p34r: there is already a group named root [00:08] levander, by default grub will -at boot- give you the option between ubuntu and windows. you can edit a simple text file to change defaults. [00:08] anyone? [00:09] Megaqwerty: ok great, ty [00:09] do i have to add this laptops ip or name to the samba file [00:09] p34r: you're welcome [00:09] jonny239: you can't.. and you shouldn't.. use sudo [00:09] levander, I did what you're doing several times last year when I was testing Ubuntu on different machines. It works pretty painlessly. [00:09] Hello, Everyone. :-) [00:09] Megaqwerty: and i just do the sudo chown line, i dont need the chmod 700 line anymore, right? [00:09] !root | jonny239 [00:09] jonny239: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:09] but u cant login to root from login screen === Billenium is now known as Winrar [00:09] p34r: no, you still do. the chmod line makes it so no one but the owner can see it [00:09] OK, so after installation, I took out CD and restarted like the wizard told me to, then while the computer was booting up, the first message it gave me was Loadinbg GNU. Loading GNU Please Wait... and then it freezes at that for more then 3 hours, (after that I shut it down) [00:09] jonny239: no, you can't.. and you shouldn't.. as in "do not do it" [00:09] levander, take a walkthrough here -> http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot [00:09] !flash [00:09] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:09] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [00:10] I am logged in via a LiveCD. How do I fix my video/screen resolution? I messed with a setting and now it is blank when I boot Ubuntu. [00:10] Megaqwerty: but group 'root' can? [00:10] Slart: how different? let me explain i plugged in my n73 but it didnt pick it up in media so i needed to disconnect it before unplugging the cable... however ubuntu knows it plugged in but it doesnt show any interface... thats why it has to be done through terminal [00:10] Huffalump: The other complication is that after I finish getting my Linux box all right (I have several things I have to configure) I want to take out the XP hard disk. You think the only complication will be reconfiguring grub? [00:10] p34r: so you might actually want the line to read chmod 770 if you want the group members to be able to see it too [00:10] jonny239: log in as your normal user and use sudo for root stuff [00:10] i changed the root pasword but i need to be able to acess it through login screen [00:10] levander, I would agree with that [00:10] MotherDear, how many times have you started/restarted your system ? [00:10] Megaqwerty: how would i specify which group that would be? would it assume group 'root'? or what [00:10] I've re-installed about 3 times now. [00:10] Huffalump: cool, tx, I'm trying it. Guess I just needed to verify my suspicions with someone. [00:10] Anyone know how to turn off "TAPPING" on touchpads in linux? === Winrar is now known as Billenium [00:11] levander, if you transplant that hard drive to a different system.... keep in mind Windows has some setting you have to change [00:11] jonny239: why do you want to login as root?

[00:11] Huffalump: did you say something to me right before I logged out? [00:11] Install, complete [00:11] Megaqwerty: so chmod it 770 then do the chown? [00:11] Loading GNU [00:11] levander, I forget the name of the setting, but if you don't change it then the Windows hard drive will not recognize it's new environment. So, check on Windows forums about transplanting hard drives. [00:11] Loading GNU Please Wait... [00:12] p34r: right. that should work [00:12] MotherDear, so the install appeared to be fine (please respond with only one line) ? [00:12] and those are the first 2 and only 2 messages that ever appear/ [00:12] levander, previous message -> if you transplant that hard drive to a different system.... keep in mind Windows has some setting you have to change [00:12] Hey all. Brand new to Linux, have an ATI Radeon 9200. Made a thread on the forums asking for help, someone told me I had to do something about making a new kernel to get the drivers to work. Have a few questions, tho. [00:12] Huffalump: Thanks, but the XP drive is getting reformatted in a different box after I'm doing with it. [00:12] gotcha [00:12] good luck and have fun [00:12] p34r: note that by the user doing sudo nano file, they can still read it because sudo gives them root privileges, and you can't hide anything from root. [00:12] Huffalump: I didn't know that you could move XP hard disks around. That might be handy for the future. [00:12] Yes, Install was fine. [00:12] Pirate_Hunter: I don't think the usb protocol can disconnect things.. you can finish writing to them.. you can yank the usb plug from the usb socket.. you can unmount usb drives.. but I don't think you can "disconnect" stuff from usb [00:12] Megaqwerty: oh... [00:13] Huffalump: I gotta shut down to take a hard disk outta this box. Anything else? [00:13] MotherDear, put the CD back in, run memtest, to confirm your RAM is working fine (it does take sometime to test) [00:13] Could someone point me in the right direction as to where my video resolution files would be? [00:13] levander, nope I think you have your head on straight [00:13] Megaqwerty on the topic of sudo im trying to eject a cd and it says only root can unmount this device. how do i do this?

[00:15] p34r: the passwd file doesn't contain the plaintext password [00:15] Megaqwerty: not in svn's passwd file :( [00:15] Megaqwerty: i asked #svn and they said i can't encrypt it which is dumb [00:15] p34r: I'm not sure what that means... [00:15] p34r: but the user's password is encrypted in a root only file called /etc/shadow [00:15] hi all [00:15] Slart: will do so if you're still on [00:16] Hey all. Brand new to Linux, have an ATI Radeon 9200. Made a thread on the forums asking for help, someone told me I had to do something about making a new kernel to get the drivers to work.

[00:16] are there any programs to mod v3 razrs (the phones) [00:17] i get an error saying homes directory is missing [00:17] or has been deleted [00:17] ?? [00:17] syn`: the 9200 is very well supported i wouldnt think youd need to worry about the kernel certainly not have to recompile [00:17] when trying to connect via samba [00:17] p34r: if the file was readable by everyone, you probably want chmod 755 [00:17] where should the homes file be anyway? [00:17] everytime i click it, it tells me that my system doesn't require any. but everyone's told me to do that. could it be that i don't have the onboard gfx card disabled? [00:17] p34r: and if it was owned by your user, you should probably do chown username:username [00:18] i ran envy, by the way, and when i hit the ati driver, it told me my card required legacy drivers and legacy wasn't supported by my OS :( using 7.10 [00:18] ok i got it i changed the root password then added root to the login window user list now i can run the package that i need to run as root [00:18] Slart: I've been hacking at it for a while and there doesn't appear to be a simple solution, maybe a project for another day [00:18] NeverBlue, All It's done so far is close main menu and start a prompt, and just sit there. [00:18] cheers for the help [00:18] bjames: you're welcome [00:18] syn`: use the restricted managager in place of envy in 7.10 and above [00:18] syn`: envy is no longer supported by us at all [00:18] MotherDear, did you boot from the CD and see a menu ? [00:18] ahh. okay. [00:18] yes, [00:19] then I chose memory test. [00:19] MotherDear, and you selected memtest [00:19] Ya. [00:19] ghomes dir shoud be all home directories [00:19] MotherDear, then let it run :P [00:19] woner why it isnt working [00:19] okay, so then what do i do when i hit it and it tells my my system requires no restricted drivers? i have an integrated card, and then my ati. but the integrated isn't disabled. [00:19] Should there be text [00:19] i don't know if that matters. i never disabled in windows.

[00:20] syn`: ive heard the open source drivers are best for 9200 so you might not require any.. im sorry im not familiar at all with ati but i know the open source drivers for that model work well [00:20] i have the integrated card, my radeon 9200.

[00:21] !envy | syn` [00:21] syn`: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [00:21] umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy <--- how do i make it un-busy or find what process is using it? [00:21] syn`, is this a new install ? [00:21] yea, completely fresh. [00:22] syn`: you do not need the ATI driver with a 9200 [00:22] Itaku: lsof | grep cdrom [00:22] and you cannot use it [00:22] syn`, and the install didnt recognize that card ? [00:22] Hi just wondering i'm trying to install snapapi26-module package on debian, I was able to do it on ubuntu but debian couldn't find it. I added ubuntu's source list and updated apt-get and tried again still can't find [00:22] can someone help [00:22] syn`: ubuntu will automatically use the only driver available [00:22] never said anything about it. when i look @ hardware manager it shows up as recognized. but that's pretty much it. [00:22] there yeah go syn` thanks crdlb [00:22] Enron: 1) this is #ubuntu, not #debian 2) adding an ubuntu repository to debian isn't any better than adding a debian repository to ubuntu 3) both things are incredibly bad [00:23] syn`: or you can use vesa driver for just 2d alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select vesa then enter for everything else and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:23] ok, im going home [00:23] Is there any way to open p7m files used by outlook express in Ubuntu [00:23] laters [00:23] so how do I install the package if ubuntu doesn't include it [00:23] LjL [00:23] LjL how long does grep take?

[00:23] since we got the drivers situated, i guess. is there a way to get display stuck off my integrated? that's what my monitors on right now, not my radeon. [00:23] sorry if these are stupid questions, by the way. all new to me. [00:23] Itaku, that command should take a very short time. [00:23] but how long does it really take [00:23] does anyone know of a gui for airsnort? [00:24] well [00:24] its going on 2 mins [00:24] Enron: but you said you *could* install it on ubuntu? [00:24] Itaku, then let it finish, and find out just how long it will take :) [00:24] Ljl when I do apt-get install snapapi26-module it found it [00:24] syn`: disable the integrated video card in your BIOS [00:24] !info snapapi26-module [00:24] Package snapapi26-module does not exist in gutsy [00:24] hah. i knew that was what it was going to be. gotta update my BIOS, no place to do it in current. [00:24] moduels [00:25] i need my cdrom unbusy [00:25] modules* [00:25] itaku: how are you using grep. Usually when you grep something it is used in the fassion "find / | grep fileimfinding [00:25] thanks so much :D [00:25] !info snapapi26-modules [00:25] Package snapapi26-modules does not exist in gutsy [00:25] !info snapapi26-modules [00:25] syn`: you can do it another way then [00:25] i did how LjL told me to [00:25] oh, if that would be any easier.

[00:25] syn`: in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the Driver section, it should have a BusID line which tells it which card to use [00:26] is there a way to force the cdrom to get unbusy? [00:26] Itaku, i told you to do « lsof | grep cdrom». not just grep cdrom [00:26] LjL so would it be that I have an entree in source.list that might have the package [00:26] thats why I can [00:26] just switch that over to my ati? [00:26] i did lsof before it first [00:26] Enron, if it says it's already the newest version, it means it's installed. [00:26] LjL yes thats in ubuntu [00:26] Is there any way to open p7m files used by outlook express in Ubuntu [00:26] but I need it in debian :( [00:26] syn`: and change the Driver line to "ati", yes (you can get the proper BusID from 'lspci | grep VGA') [00:26] I tried compiling the latest kernel from kernel.org. It won't boot. Is there a trick to compiling a new kernel for Dapper? [00:26] #debian nobody has any info so i'm just trying to ask here if someone can help [00:26] it got unbusy!!!! [00:26] DigitalNinja, why on earth are you? [00:27] Enron: yes, it most probably means that. type « apt-cache policy snapapi26-modules » to find out where it comes from. [00:27] hi, i tried the other desktops xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, and i found that i can;t uninstall them, i uninstall but the uninstall frees only 50 Kb of space, why? [00:27] dude, you're amazing. i love you. [00:27] Hi all [00:27] simion314: because you are unistalling a meta-package. [00:27] Enron: however, i repeat once again, debian and ubuntu packages are NOT necessarily compatible, and using a debian sources.list on ubuntu or vice versa may have VERY bad effects [00:27] LjL this is what the output is http://phpfi.com/290280 [00:27] my samba shres permission is 755 it says its read only [00:28] whats read write? [00:28] well thanks so much for the help. gonna restart and try to get this to work. [00:28] PriceChild: I've got a system with a core 2 6300. On dapper I only see one processor. I gutsy I see two. I would like to use gutsy server but the software I'm using requires Dapper. [00:28] viator :766 [00:28] digital_, install the -smp kernel [00:28] Enron: that means that you don't have the repository you got it from anymore. (or that it's no longer in that repository) [00:28] PriceChild: I did that. No luck [00:29] Dr_Willis: then i must uninstall all small packages manualy from synaptic [00:29] PriceChild: With the SMP Kernel I still see only one processor. [00:29] ok now i need help installing g++ [00:29] !build-essential > Itaku (Itaku, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:29] DigitalNinja, -686-smp? [00:29] simion314: basiciall;y yes. There might be some sites that list all the packages to remove. I rarely remove anything. [00:29] its a problem with apt-get [00:29] itaku, apt-search -n g++ [00:29] PriceChild: I tried that one. I still see only one processor. [00:29] Would there be any problems for ubuntu on an 8core system ( 2x quad ) 8+gb ram generally speaking? [00:29] Hi all [00:29] DigitalNinja, I would suggest going gutsy, then upgrading to hardy in a couple of months (after tests) and leaving it there as its LTS. [00:30] daxroc: that would...rock [00:30] Is there any way to open p7m files used by outlook express in Ubuntu [00:30] Dr_Willis, simion314: however, you can try "sudo apt-get autoremove" after removing kubuntu-desktop. sometimes, it seems to not have effect for some people... i don't know why... but it's worth trying. also, for Kubuntu at least, removing "kdelibs4c2a" mostly does the trick. [00:30] DigitalNinja, a new kernel on dapper will bring a lot of problems [00:30] PriceChild: I have software that requires Dapper [00:30] pike_: Do you know from experience? [00:30] Itaku: what problem is it? [00:30] LjL also there is gtkorphan [00:30] what is the URL of the website that allows you to install ubuntu(i think it was ubuntu anyway) from the web with one click over the top of windows to effectively remove windows? [00:31] PriceChild: Well, the big problem at the moment is that it won't boot with the new kernel. [00:31] sudo: apt-search: command not found [00:31] was wondering if anyone could help me out.. Ive installed no-ip in terminal threw ssh term and i need to change the host for it so im wondering whats the command to update no-ip? [00:31] DigitalNinja, what software is this? [00:31] daxroc: i cant see a problem youd want 64 bit and the generic kernel supports smp [00:31] Does anyone know if Gutsy supports, Wacom Bamboo Tablets yet? [00:31] PriceChild: Zimbra [00:31] it's an email server package [00:31] w/e im idle now [00:31] Itaku: 1) there is no valid reason on earth why you would need to use "sudo" to just *search* for packages. 2) it's apt-cache search [00:31] !apt > Itaku (Itaku, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:31] I am trying to choose an ftp daemon? Which one do you guys prefer ? [00:32] pike_: yeah going all out on upgrade thought I would do some reasearch first :> === Itaku is now known as Itaku-Sleep [00:32] !polls > xsystemx (xsystemx, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:32] xsystemx: its prboberly best to not use ftp unless you have to. ssh can transfer files securely [00:32] acidfire2008, : try in a terminal : sudo dpkg-reconfigure no-ip [00:32] NICK aethereal [00:32] !ftpd > xsystemx (xsystemx, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:33] Anyone have any information on attempting to map a network drive on linux?

[00:33] Omegacenti: nfs ot smbfs? [00:33] patrock: I am sorry? [00:33] pike_: I only see one processor [00:33] guys, how do i set my ubuntu to boot into the login screen ?? [00:34] pike_: I'm using the SMP kernel [00:34] daxroc: 64 bit is mostly software pitfalls and those have been largely sorted out. desktop stuff occationally may require chroot [00:34] tyone: auto login? [00:34] dno [00:34] just login screen [00:34] tyone: if you mean the console. You disable the gdm or kdm service [00:34] tyone: gksu gdmsetup in a terminal and enable it [00:35] mine boots to "dos@ [00:35] tem Brasileiros? [00:35] pike_: as in 32bit chroot ?

Using the OSX GUI and such without a license is not. you can install grub to /dev/hda4 (or whatever the ubuntu partition is) and try to get XP bootloader to see it somehow [01:11] olskolirc, : i don't know [01:11] there are windows boot loader grub images [01:11] olskolirc give me a sec [01:11] I've made a samba shared public no auth folder, but I cant seem to change that the folder name is public when viewed from a windows box [01:11] in sources... least in debian sources [01:11] having grub or lilo chain it is probably the better way though [01:11] ok th0r [01:11] olskolirc, openssh-server [01:11] using "* * * * * /path/my/program &" doesn seem to wrok... [01:11] olskolirc beat me to it ... ^^^ [01:12] andresj, why do you have the &? [01:12] thor : well done [01:12] * olskolirc lap dances jtt [01:12] preaction, well, he has a license, he bought a separate copy [01:12] preaction: mmm... to not hang crontab [01:12] according to this document http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-lamp-server-setup.html i now can see the username and password prompt in my browser window. :-) yes!!! now i would proceed with the fine tuning for this forum software http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?P=e92acd400c2ad8d4f1fea42d0a4acf96&topic=8 fine? [01:12] andresj you don't have enough * [01:12] [Rephrase] I've made a samba shared public no auth folder, but I cant seem to change that the folder name is "public" when viewed from a windows box [01:13] could one _technically_ run an OS X program under Linux? [01:13] http://www.pornofamosas.es !!. [01:13] http://www.pornofamosas.es !!. [01:13] andresj actually you have too many...you need to define when the program is run [01:13] when I try to install Ubuntu 7.10 it freezes when loading the /local Bootscripts anyone know what to do? [01:14] th0r, i want it every minute... maybe i need to run something to update crontab? (I edited it with crontab -e) [01:14] this means having Mach-O compat, at the minimum. But I don't see why that would be too hard [01:14] I know there is some gui that makes managing the wireless networks easier, does anyone know what I'm talking about? [01:14] andresj I write a text file (cron.txt) and then load it using crontab -l. [01:15] !grub | jids [01:15] jids: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:15] andresj that way I always have a record of what I am running and can even keep old tasks by commenting them out [01:15] Jids, look under the quick start section. it might give a better error message [01:15] ubotu, neither link will help... 1) it's installing Ubuntu *after* 'doze, and the laptops we're using don't have floppy drives [01:15] Hi there, can someone help me to finish my madwifi installation? [01:16] -.- [01:16] What's the most obscure lnaguage I can compile on ubuntu and run on windows? [01:16] i've installed madwifi, modprobed, ath0 is up [01:16] th0r, mmm... though i think that method won help me alot in this... [01:16] Jids, ubotu is a bot, i told it to send the links. i don't see that you need a floppy drive, just to boot the CD. you'd do this after the installer said it couldn't install grub [01:16] shouldnt I see my wireless connection on the system tray? [01:17] yeah, i realized that it's a bot now... [01:17] andresj maybe not...but it seems to work. I was a little off though..load it with 'crontab ' and display it with crontab -l [01:17] eugman, i don't know of any language you can cross-compile to windows, except maybe certain languages that compile to bytecode (like Java) [01:17] would it be correct to move /dev/sda5 from one hard drive to another can using well if you must using an intermediate .bz2 file using "dd if=source | bzip2 > somefile" to create it and "bzcat somefile | dd of=destination" to copy it to the new drive? [01:17] how do you change screen brightness? [01:17] preaction, he's going to re-do the partition table... removed OSX, and i guess we'll see what happens... [01:17] hmmm [01:17] can someone help me bringing up my wireless device? [01:18] sc123; I'm working on the same thing lol [01:18] Jids, good luck. for my money i would've invested in some sort of virtualization technique by now, rebooting into various OSes gets annoying [01:18] preaction: eugman: can also go for something like Perl, Ruby, Python, Tcl, or something which you don't need to compile [01:18] can I start the photoshop from xp partition? [01:18] Ohh BoostedSS... :) Anyproblem till now?

While he believes VMWware, QEMU, and Parallels are all extremely good when it comes to virtualization, they don't match physical abilities [01:20] sc123; there is supposed to be some gui wireless thing that it supposed to just make it work. I'm looking now [01:20] what have you done after that? (webpage is good too) [01:20] ok [01:20] i dont know if anyone uses gtk-gnutella, but i have just started useing it and it says i'm firewalled udp and tcp, but i forwarded the ports through my router, i cant figure out why it says that..

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) [01:36] hi got slight problem, i had to reinstall windows so i did, then reinstalled grub, now when i start windows i get NTLDR is missing message [01:36] Darkmystere: For which game exactly do you want to run a server? [01:36] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52214/ [01:36] <|ns|nR8> use dmz instead of port forwarding [01:36] im getting that georgy28 [01:36] dont see how to stop or restart it [01:37] Eyemean: http://www.anetforums.com/posts.aspx?ThreadIndex=10606 [01:37] aznyone have a issue with video media being played seeming to be too dark? [01:37] gouki: Well i made like A Server Its customized from a base Server and then u can broadcast it and people can play like www.dodian.com [01:37] happens with a a dvd or avi wmv or whatever [01:37] thank you bod_ [01:37] Eyemean: no probs [01:37] TGhats an example u need no-ip or himachi to broadcast it [01:38] I have enabled the backports repository and now i am trying to install kde4, while i hve installed most of the packages(sudo aptitude kde4), some packages were not installed. They have entered into an infinite sort of dependecy hell. Installing kde4 requires that I should install kdeamusements-kde4 and other packages and installing amusements thing saya that i can not install these things... [01:38] Well, like |ns|nR8 said. If your router doesn't support port-forwarding, which I'm pretty sure it's required, place it on the DMZ (you should have a option like 'virtual server') [01:38] ...unless i install the KDE4 package. is there any way for me to override the dependency thing and install every single package manually? [01:38] Darkmystere: I don't think it's weird a router with no port-forwarding. But like I said, place it on the DMZ (it's not the best security measure, though) [01:39] Is there a Free alternative to unrar [01:39] *I do [01:39] Can someone tell me why I am successfully writing to a NTFS drive off the LiveCD? I thought you had to install ntfs-3g if you wanted to write. [01:40] hdevalence: is that for windows? [01:40] why do some games not use my usb sound card ( creative xmod ) even after i have made it the default sound card through asoundconf ? [01:40] levander: I think ntfs-3g might be in the livecd by default, but I'm not sure [01:40] bod_: no, the unrar program you can get with Apt [01:40] bod_ i dont think any of that applies cause windows was working ok befor ei installed grub [01:40] gouki:Hmm ok is there a way to make Certain programs think that the script that lets u run compiz isnt on because some games cant run if they notice its running? [01:40] why do some games not use my usb sound card ( creative xmod ) even after i have made it the default sound card through asoundconf ? [01:41] hdevalence: not sure then m8 [01:41] could it be somehting with windows being g drive now bod_ [01:41] Starnestommy: I just mounted the ntfs drive via the regular mount command. I thought you had to use some ntfs3g-config if you wanted to mount via ntfs-3g? [01:41] x-X-x: not all games use asound [01:41] Darkmystere: Don't know about that [01:41] Eyemean: let me have a quick look [01:41] i maybe wrong but i understand that grub and the windows bootloader will occupy some of the same sectors at start of your hard drive , so one will always overwrite and interfer with the other (( am a beginner but did try hard at one stage to research this as Grub had some how totaly screwed up any way of booting into windows )) [01:41] ok thank you bod_ [01:42] acidfire , stranger still u can create a new profile for a wifi connection (by clicking on new ). u can even give it the same name as your old one. this IS editable but does not help make connection ( maybe because i had to guess or leave blank some of the settings). sorry of little help here.. consider resetting your wifi to have minimum number of options, edit a new profile in wifi radar ,... [01:42] ...and connect from there ??? [01:42] Eyemean: wot exactly is ur problem? [01:42] stranestommy but this game uses alsa ? is there a way ? === earlmred_ is now known as earlmred [01:42] is anyone kind enough to help me with my ubuntu problem relating to setting up a wireless connection?

[03:14] bod_: "bios age(1999) fails cutoff(2000)" [03:14] weird [03:14] search is not working for me.. where is the xorg.conf file located? [03:14] /etc/X11/ [03:14] Djerkaf: yer trust me that is an outdated bios,.,. u DONT HAVE THE LATEST BIOS [03:15] shaft0r, does locate xorg.conf not print anything? [03:15] Rubin, I was using search in the gui... didnt try locate, sorry.. I'll try that next time. [03:15] bod_: And you are sure of that, just like that, without knowing when the motherboard was stopped made? [03:15] shaft0r, oh, i wasnt scolding you, was just curious if it was broken [03:16] If I backup xorg.conf and then run nvidia-settings, will i be able to restore it ok if nvsettings screws something up? [03:16] shaft0r, yep. its just a text file [03:16] shaft0r: yes, that's the exact right thing to do [03:16] shaft0r, just remember what you backed it up as and just replace it if you need [03:16] bod_: I can't even find my specific board on the manufacturor's homepage. I'm pretty sure I'm shit out of luck when it comes to bios updating. [03:16] Djerkaf: either im right or the motherboard ur using is 1 of a kind and no one has fixed the milennium bug [03:16] WHat's a good site to get lists of games for Linux?

[04:08] thanks achandr, I'll take a look [04:08] FernandoL: more info plz [04:08] In all my linux days, you installed stuff like... make, make install and whatever... do you guys recommend using packages and the whole add/remove for every program I get... ie: VLC/mplayer, etc. [04:08] Hey everyone. [04:08] bod_, you're funny [04:08] lol [04:08] i no ,.,.lol [04:08] bod_ My sound doesn't work, I'm new to ubuntu. [04:08] i love packages... easy to remove is their biggest advantage [04:09] FernandoL: do u have a soundcard? [04:09] lol [04:09] Shihan: i second that [04:09] FernandoL, what is the output of "lspci -v |grep audio"? [04:09] bod_ it's built in, but yes, this laptop has sound. I had windows earier and it worked fine [04:09] Shihan, yeah... definitely true there. I'm sure you guys run into apps that are not in package form right? [04:09] I have two separate network interfaces that I want to connect to the same router and serve all the traffic over a specific port over one and everything else over the other [04:09] something with the sound/PCI [04:09] its always quite frustrating to upgrade a box thats been built using non-packaged apps [04:09] A friend of mine needs a bit of help installing PowerPC Dapper on his iMac. It starts up fine, but then it goes into a black screen and turns unresponsive. [04:09] lspci lists a bunch of sound card realated stuff [04:10] G3 iMac, by the way. [04:10] kharnov: where are you in the process the install? or ? [04:10] how to install original nvidia drivers? [04:10] FernandoL: in the top right of the screen u should see a little picture of a speaker,.,. does it have a cross on it? [04:10] He tried booting into the liveCD. [04:10] Whats a good IRC client for ubuntu? using mIRC right now (remote desktop) [04:11] xchat [04:11] or BitchX [04:11] bitchX still console only? [04:11] yeah, but it is still good [04:11] kharnoc: okay..and did he run the "live + additional command" [04:11] shaft0r, yes i need to learn it [04:11] cat IRC-RFT.doc; telnet 6667 [04:11] yeah.. I never figured how to navigate channels, but I'll give it a try.. i did like it. [04:11] kharnoc: or just hit enter [04:12] He just typed live. [04:12] FernandoL: ??? [04:12] I going to die === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [04:12] kharnov: there is an additional command he can type....that is at the bottom of the original boot screen. there is instructions for that...and then try again. [04:12] ok [04:12] FernandoL, help us help you [04:13] FernandoL: cannot help with someone hu cant use a keyboard [04:13] kharnov: when I did this...screen actually went white for a sec, then VERY slowly the live screen came up..and i mean slowly... [04:13] bod_ so you start a private convo with me [04:13] can anyone help diagnose my sound problem? [04:14] shaft0r, for non-packaged apps (sometimes unavoidable), but just install into an out-of-te-main-tree location like /opt/ [04:14] biouser, what is it? [04:14] how about some verbose booting? [04:14] FernandoL: yer but u didnt reply [04:14] kharnov: once I got past this, the actual system on hdd was very responsive. [04:14] Duke_Fluke, something PCI related, but it just turned bad after weeks of being fine [04:14] Shihan, ah yeah good idea. [04:14] kharnov: as for 7.10PPC I had all kinds of issues on the install. Never got it to work. [04:14] bod_ and I respond, and you don't talk in the private convo, then you expect me to know that you switched back here without saying anything, and I don't know how to use a keyboard. To answer your question, no, my speaker doesn't have a cross on it, and my sound is not muted. [04:14] biouser, Can you test with a live cd then? [04:14] achandrashekar: Yeah, he can't install from 7.10 either. [04:14] hello I was wondering if anyone could help me with a perl script? I posted the question on ubuntu support forums a couple days ago but never had the problem resolved here is the link to the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4145560#post4145560 [04:15] I am using gtkterm to access /dev/ttyACM0, sometimes it takes hold of the device -- how do i release it? [04:15] kharnov: so dapper did work..and it took that additional damn command...one sec [04:15] Duke_Fluke, if it doesn't work there(and you know it should) then it could be hardware failing? [04:15] FernandoL: wooo,.,. calm down,.,. i didnt see any messages from u in the private chat,.,. and ok ,.,. has ur ubuntu machine EVER played a sound? [04:15] achandrashekar: What was that command? He ran live, and then live-powerpc, and neither worked. [04:15] Duke_Fluke, I didn't change anything but there is a message about PCI that flashes when I boot now and the sound is very poor. [04:16] is it possible to change the physical hardware mac address of a nic, so that upon a reinstall, the new mac address remains? [04:16] Duke_Fluke, I suppose I could test with live CD [04:16] dreven: tried sudo cpan install XML::Simple ? [04:16] in other words, editing it on the hardware level? [04:16] biouser, ok so it works albeit poorly [04:16] no i'll try [04:16] biouser, what is the message? [04:17] oh i'm a newbie just trying to drop MS like a bad habit that no longer makes you feel good [04:17] Duke_Fluke, error while updating region or something, it goes by too fast to see [04:17] bod_ my ubuntu machine hasn't ever played a sound [04:17] I see icons for NTFS drives on my Desktop but I cant find them in the Filesystem area... where are they located? [04:17] kharnov: searching for it now... [04:17] biouser, use 'dmesg|less' to find it [04:17] what is the Avahi daemon? === _max is now known as max [04:18] FernandoL: ok hang on [04:18] Duke_Fluke, just put that in the terminal? [04:18] yeah [04:18] how do I release /dev/ttyACM0 from another process? [04:18] i guess what i'm asking is, does 'ifconfig hw ether

[04:19] bod_ aight [04:19] I'm having a problem with dual-head [04:19] tangwyn: can at least figure out what process is using it with fuser [04:19] atoponce: no, you lose it at boot. You can add that stuff to /etc/network/interfaces to make it persistent across boots [04:19] can someone help me? [04:20] mewshi, what is your question? [04:20] nickrud: no way to change it physically, so it keeps across installs? [04:20] Well, I currently have two displays hooked up to my laptop [04:20] What command will determine if a module is loadable ("m") or compiled into the kernel ("y")? [04:20] atoponce: no, it's a software thing not hardware [04:20] the actual screen of the laptop and an external monitor [04:20] nickrud: so, it just happens at a software level only, eh? [04:20] nickrud: ok. thx [04:20] mewshi, ok [04:20] Alright, I have it set up in xorg.conf for dual-head [04:20] mewshi, gotcha [04:21] dreven: welcome then [04:21] FernandoL: have u done all the usual repository updates through synaptic package manager? [04:21] hello i have session saving on my ubuntu where it saves the windows. Although it seems to close Eclipse/Thundbird/Firefox when i turn off Ubuntu but everything else stays on. Anyone run into this ? [04:21] shaft0r: they would be in /media if they are mounted [04:21] The internal screen of the laptop runs at full resolution (1280x800) but I can't get the external monitor (which has a maximum resolution of 1440x900) to go any higher than 1024x768 === jbinder_ is now known as jbinder [04:21] thanks [04:21] What command will determine if a module is loadable ("m") or compiled into the kernel ("y")? [04:22] and we all know how crappy lcd monitors look when they aren't at the proper resolution [04:22] kharnov: can you ask him to go to the boot screen where it prints a bunch of instructions..there it is when in doubt "type live" otherwise try "live video..something" [04:22] k [04:22] bod_ nope :D [04:22] bod_ let me get on that [04:22] mewshi, i wonder if its like windows were the two are tied together like if you make one monitor higher in resolution it makes the other smaller...know what i mean? [04:22] biouser: avahi is multicast dns service discovery [04:22] bullgard4: if you see it in lsmod (list modules) it's modularized. You can also look thru /boot/config-$(uname -r) to see the options used in the kernel [04:22] No, that's not how my windows is O_o [04:22] FernandoL: do u no about the synaptic package manager? [04:23] nickrud: I will do that, thank you.

I have tried mount /dev/dvdrw and mount /dev/dvd [04:25] there is "error attaching device data" but that is not the one that flashes on boot [04:25] does anyone know of an easy way to make the Ubuntu default homepage look like the Blubuntu theme?

But this Blockbuster dvd I rented wont play [04:37] s0ulstice: possible [04:38] Starnestommy: Well i'm well on my way at least it will run the script now just getting one error which I can tell is an input error on my part in the cfg file thankyou [04:38] 1.4.8 should be available in backports repo [04:38] jrib: okay... it seems then that the video card on the ppc box doesnt install cleanly..so its off to try the alternate..no guarantee that it will install X right? [04:38] nickrud: I don't have album art but a large music collection that seems to cause gtkpod to barf. [04:38] Ahoy. [04:38] jrib: that is if i try the alternate?? [04:38] s0ulstice, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:38] and maybe gxine [04:39] jason0_: yeah, I tried it and it did some odd things here as well. I'll wait till the packagers get around to it myself [04:39] jason0_: enable the backports repo in synaptic. amarok 1.4.8 is there [04:39] Duke_Fluke, what are you looking at? [04:39] mewshi, i did notice one small thing [04:39] achandrashekar: it will probably install, but then it will probably fail when you try to enter X too. So you'll need to drop to a shell and resolve whatever the issue is [04:39] mewshi, http://hobbylobby.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/dual-monitors-in-ubuntu-xorgconf-driver-ati-card/ [04:39] * nickrud considers polluting his system with kde [04:39] jrib: okay [04:39] nickrud, can I just run a command to get it to open? I dont have gnome panels [04:40] haha nickrud: I did that and I ended up reinstalling [04:40] haymaker: yes, ccsm . [04:40] is there a bug in the alternate installer where you've already had LVM installed, and try to install ubuntu on lvm it fails to set up partitions for /? or am i just missing some part of the configuration [04:40] s0ulstice: and youve installed libdvdcss2? [04:40] mewshi, your screen section has generic montior and this guy has his exact model [04:40] if ur having problems with compiz go to #compiz-fusion [04:40] mkquist_: The 2 on the end makes me skeptical It does sound familiar [04:41] FernandoL: ??? [04:41] kharnov: well there is your response... he might need the alternate CD then it will allow an install through the text mode [04:41] bod_ it can't find snd-sb450 [04:41] hello i have session saving on my ubuntu where it saves the windows. Although it seems to close Eclipse/Thundbird/Firefox when i turn off Ubuntu but everything else stays on. Anyone run into this ? [04:41] achandrashekar: Hmm, okay, thanks. [04:41] bod_: once they have it working (since it's part of ubuntu) then #compiz-fusion is a good suggestion :) [04:41] mkquist_: Plus for how many times I've reinstalled everything is blurring together... [04:41] Wait, so you think that changing the monitor might fix that? [04:41] mewshi, i meant your "Monitor" setting under Section "screen" [04:41] kharnov: Frankly speaking on the G4 I had, I had an ATI card, and it worked....does he have the same?? [04:41] s0ulstice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu look there maybe [04:42] kharnov: the install is a real PITA..but once done, the system works well. BTW, kiss flash-player support goodbye..it simply doesnt work on the system.

When I changed the monitor, it wouldn't start x at ALL :\ [05:31] Gekkomon_Shogun use synaptic and search for firefox to c if u have them [05:31] FernandoL: those repos are on the updates tab of software sources [05:31] sure [05:31] mewshi, http://pastebin.com/ma27f6a [05:32] no, I mean, the whole xorg.conf with the necessary changes to the monitor and such :\ [05:32] this is probably something really stupid but every time I login, my home directory opens, why is that? and how do I make it stop? [05:32] nickrud: thanks [05:32] how do I tell what process has my alsa locked? [05:32] mewshi ....hold on [05:32] CarlFK: sudo lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/* [05:33] * Ioan- est maintenant absent: Jcognerais ben du monde a place jva peter leur char partis mdefouler 6heures dehors [05:33] okay, now for a reboot [05:33] just compiled ALSA from source for two sound cards [05:33] wish me luck [05:34] XChat issue: sometimes new lines show up, but are all bkack (green-on-black colors) and I have to minimize or otherwise force a 'refresh' of the display to see the new line's actual text content. Any ideas? (Gutsy, x86) [05:34] hey bod_ what file am i looking for [05:34] PDFs are blurry as hell, ive tried 3 different programs, should i just stab myself in the face? === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [05:35] hmm, mixer_app /dev/snd/controlC0 - which is normal, right? maybe I should back up. is there a "troubleshooting sound issues" page? it made noise an hour ago, so I have the right sound card drivers [05:36] When I run: find "/home/servers/*/databases -mtime +15 | xargs rm -f" from command line it works just fine, but when its in a cron script it doesn't seem to rm anything. Anyone have an idea? [05:36] Gekkomon_Shogun: anything that has the word "plugin" in the description [05:36] I open pdf's in evince, and I've never had a problem with them being blurry... [05:36] CarlFK: that's normal. That's the speaker icon (mixer applet) in the right of the top panel. [05:36] CarlFK: what's the issue? [05:36] <[deXter]> Does ubuntu come with flash, pdf, mp3, dvd support out of the box without any installation? [05:36] crimsun: ok. mplayer sound.wav works. play sound.wav doesn't [05:36] fuzzy, are they all blurry? did u try at different zoom levels? [05:36] [deXter], no, no, no and no lol [05:37] they eventually get better, after 15 minutes of loading [05:37] mewshi, whats your lcds exact model the magnavox? [05:37] [deXter]: not all, no [05:37] [deXter], out of your list, pdf only. flash and mp3 prompt you, DVD is a little more tricky [05:37] [deXter]: no, unfortunately it can't due to various laws and restrictions [05:37] <[deXter]> MasterShrek, thanks a lot, just wanted to confirm it. [05:37] 19MF337B [05:37] CarlFK: play, from sox? [05:38] [deXter]: if you enable the medibuntu repository, and apt-get install libdvdcss2 ubuntu-restricted-extras, you will get pretty much all of that installed for you though [05:38] [deXter], when you fire up Firefox and hit a Flash-enabled page it will prompt you, same with MP3s and similar patent-encumbered file types, to automagically install. [05:38] CarlFK: does `aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav`? [05:38] crimsun: yes [05:38] er, yes sox. trying aplay [05:38] <[deXter]> Q_Contoxicated, yes, thanks. I just wanted to confirm if anything changed in Gusy. === x86- is now known as z80asm [05:38] <[deXter]> *gutsy [05:39] where are turks [05:39] [deXter], Aaah. Flash has two choices now: Adobe/Macromedia, and GPL'd version (I forget the name, I want to say GNASH) [05:39] mewshi, check out this guys settings: http://www.netreveal.com/ddalton/2006/09/samsung_lcd_tv_xorgconf_settin.html [05:39] I just need to know what all to change :'( [05:39] crimsun: aplay same error as play: ALSA lib confmisc.c:769:(parse_card) cannot find card '�WoPCI' [05:39] [deXter]: I would point out that windows also cannot play flash, many media formats, or dvd's without adding additional software.. [05:40] what's the "DisplaySize" line do O-o [05:40] CarlFK: do you have an ~/.asoundrc and/or /etc/asound.conf ? [05:40] is there a command line tool that will generate for me pie graphs and similar? or maybe with python bindings? [05:40] mewshi to do that you need to know your monitor.....good question the pixels maybe? like the native resolution or something? [05:40] Oh, and yes, ubuntu coems with evice to display pdf's, and openoffice.org which can save directly to pdf... [05:40] 1440x900 [05:41] which is why the "mode" line says "1440x900" [05:41] does anybody in here refer to themselves as an ubuntu guru? [05:41] so the answer was 'no, yes, no no and no' I think... [05:41] ok [05:41] is there a reason why that pdf viewer clogs my computer to the point of non usuability? [05:41] kaboombob: hopefully not. [05:41] * nickrud looks around and laughs himself sick [05:42] crimsun why not? [05:42] mewshi, just experiment abit use the samsung as a guide and play around with it...its easy to restart X [05:42] last time I changed any of those lines, it screwed up, and X wouldn't start [05:42] at all [05:42] I just need to know what to change to what [05:42] cya in the morning [05:42] fuzzy: either your computer sucks, or you're trying to view very broken pdf's .. [05:42] kaboombob: something involving meditation... [05:43] crimsun in reference to knowing a vast majority of the ins and outs of ubuntu not meditation [05:43] CarlFK: meaning, if you have either, try removing it/them [05:43] http://dpaste.com/31334/ [05:44] How does one change the ports apache listens on? [05:44] crimsun: ill try removing - do I need to restart anything after removing? [05:44] CarlFK: no, just restart the alsa apps [05:44] marx2k: change it in your vhost (thats the sites in /sites-available) and also make sure the port is in ports.conf [05:45] intersting anecdote ... the last time I ran into a problem with 'ubuntu can't open this pdf' it turned out that the download had failed, the file was an html 404 page, with a pdf extension... [05:45] haha [05:45] Flannel: Do you happen to know a link to a tutorial for that? I only installed the xampp suite today and dont know default dirs for those files even [05:45] Hola [05:45] crimsun: that worked. aplay played. [05:46] how do i install beryl wit all the effects [05:46] im looking for some help connecting my mp3 player can i get some help [05:46] mandelson: beryl is now compiz-fusion [05:46] CarlFK: what addition issues did you have with alsa? [05:46] additional* [05:46] lol [05:46] mandelson: beryl is depricated, you want compiz fusion. If you're running gutsy you already have compiz-fusion [05:46] Ok, Duke_Fluke, what exactly do I need to change? :\ [05:46] ok [05:46] mandelson or emerald to get the same style setup as beryl [05:47] so why cant i use the birds eye view and cube effect [05:47] I have an nfs kernel space server that has suddenly stopped starting correctly. It says it starts, but fails to actually listen on 2049 (according to netstat), but is listening on 2049 according to rpcinfo. Any thoughts? [05:47] kaboombob: (side reference to AmigaOS, but nevermind.) [05:47] kaboombob: what mp3 player [05:47] I can't believe I'm asking this, but where can I get bcm43xx-fwcutter? [05:47] mandelson: you want compizconfig-manager (or something close to that) to turn on the various effects [05:47] !ccsm | mandelson [05:47] mandelson: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [05:47] SinNoAria: universe. [05:47] crimsun: this started when I was trying to use Ekiga SIP phone. the wizard had a test button, i hit it and got error dialogs. so trying to figure out what the problem was. [05:47] bazhang its a panasonic that runs on a usb 1.x connection [05:47] yeah, that one...

[05:48] kaboombob: what make and model? panasonic ... [05:48] mandelson: and restricted drivers for your video card, if you haven't already installed them.. [05:48] Is Ubuntu a good distro to learn the CLI on? [05:49] Patrickva: short answer: yes [05:49] Patrickva: but really, almost any would do [05:49] slackware Patrickva [05:49] question? on gutsy is there a way i can up the virtual memory? [05:49] bazhang sv-mp25v and the error i get when i click it is unable to mount media there is probably no media in the drive [05:50] UberDay: yes - you can add a drive, resize a partition or make a swap file [05:50] UberDay: Create a larger swap partition either when installing, or slice off a bit of your root using gparted and expand your existing swap into it [05:50] kaboombob: via which media manager? amarok etc [05:50] hey guys if i do something like display=":0" vlc it should work yes? because it errors unable to initialize gtk, set display properly [05:50] UberDay: oh yeah, and you can use a thumb drive, but I hear that isn't a good idea [05:50] what program to convert the audio cd to mp3? [05:51] bazhang i use amarok the most but it doesnt even see it im going into computer and clicking digital audio player then i get that error [05:51] can anyone recommend a sata card (sata1 is fine) that can handle at least 2 disks without falling over? the one I have now craps out with "scsi" errors up to my eyeballs as soon as I boot with a 2nd disk on it [05:51] okay im a noob carl and deque so i got no clue what your talking about. createing a swap file? i got no clue how to do that [05:51] kaboombob: just a moment.. [05:52] bazhang k thnx [05:52] does anyone know where would be a good place to get the "bcm43xx-fwcutter" driver? It seems that I need it to get my computer online while using Ubuntu. And I'm terribly sorry about asking a noobish question. [05:52] The DisplaySize thing didn't work O-o [05:52] I mean, can I get it on the ubuntu website [05:53] Does the 'ls' command print files with an '.gz' extension only as if they were uncompressed? [05:53] Alright [05:53] sinnoaria if its a restricted driver go into the system menu>administration>restricted drivers [05:53] five bucks, in cash, to anyone who can figure this out [05:53] Please help.

[05:54] ok, seriously. I will mail 5 bucks in cash to whoever can figure out the solution to my dilemma [05:54] can anyone offer tips on using a treo 650 with ubuntu? (apps, etc) [05:55] i know it's an integrated/onboard thing but i can't find it in the hardware preferences [05:55] bullgard4, ls prints out files as they are [05:55] is there a command to find it?

[05:57] marx2k open the port that you have ssh listening on [05:57] randomwalker: lspci | grep -i vga [05:58] kaboombob: When I tried that, all that I got was that there were no restricted drivers. (I'm not quoting exactly since I'm on the Windows partition) [05:58] opa [05:58] hey guys [05:58] th0r: its open and accepting connections from the internal IP, but when I try to connect to the box using my external IP (Im forwarding the port on the router) its refusing connections [05:58] Come on, you guys don't want five dollars? [05:58] marx2k: you'll have to consult your xampp documentation. xampp isn't included in Ubuntu (we just do it the easy way, through package management) and they can configure it arbitrarily. [05:59] yeah I might have to remove xampp and just install normal lampp server [05:59] mewshi: I think it is more like a can't help than a won't help [05:59] nickrud, thanks! [05:59] bazhang: http://www.electronics-expo.com/make-a-store/item/PANSVMP25V/Panasonic/SVMP25V/42.html has the specs for it if you want to read that [06:00] marx2k there are two possibilities...first, you may run into trouble going out and then back in on the same ip. I do it here all the time, but sometimes the isp doesn't allow it. The second possibility is that the isp has port 22 blocked...in which case moving ssh to another port may help. [06:00] Oh come on, there's a way, there must me [06:00] sinnoaria i dont know then im still a newb tho maybe someone else can help you [06:01] kaboombob: thanks for your your time one way or another [06:01] kaboombob: just read that--trying to see if it can mounted as a usb storage device to let you transfer files directly to it--currently asking some gurus--just a moment sorry [06:01] bazhang thnx [06:02] bazhang in xp it mounts as a storage divice [06:02] which is the best word processor for chinese in ubuntu opertaing system? === wooian is now known as wian [06:03] can i copy the linux partition off my 6.5 gig hard drive onto a 20 gig hard drive without killing my linux ? and keep it bootable? [06:03] How do i get adobe flash player to install [06:03] use wine [06:03] !flash [06:03] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:03] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [06:04] Gekkomon_Shogun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine?highlight=%28wine%29 [06:04] oldude67, yes... but you'd need to copy the partition content, not the partition itself. So you'd need to create a new partition in the other hardrive and past the files from one to another. [06:04] kaboombob: what is your dmesg output when inserting the drive? paste it in pastebin (not here in the channel) !paste will give you the link where to do so [06:04] KurtKraut, well i will hold off on that till i can keep my internet from going down as its my router box [06:05] oldude67, maybe there is a shortcut to do it... but I can't remind.

[06:41] OMFG IT WORKED THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU [06:41] lol [06:41] pkundu, i should think not -- an ISO is meant to be burnt to CDs and CD have different boot loaders to harddrives and removable media .. but i could be wrong and there's no harm in trying [06:41] kaboombob, do you know what just happened? [06:41] no idea whatsoever [06:41] its one thing to do it, its another to understand what you did [06:41] haha [06:41] its happy now tho [06:41] MasterShrek, that is _ONE_ command [06:41] im happy [06:42] unop, im aware of that, but he has no idea what he just did [06:42] now hell have to come back here when he wants to mount something else [06:42] instead of explaining it once and having him know how to do it [06:42] mastershrek whould you mind telling me what i just did? [06:42] I just need a solution where in i can transfer a image to pendrive and boot from it to install from that to my laptop hdd [06:43] Hello all. I have just installed Gutsy and it keeps freezing. I'm new to Linux. Can someone help me? [06:43] Teach a man how to fish instead of give him a fish.. [06:43] unop u may be right [06:43] pkundu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has instructins on all sorts of installation solutions [06:43] i get a freeze on Gutsy once in a while, most of the time its when i hit Enter key, instead of clicking OK buttons [06:44] thnx Flannel [06:44] kaboombob, well, forget about he sudo sh -c for now, and pay attention to the stuff inside the quote, they are two commands seperated by a semicolon. the first one make a mount point, that is a place where you will mount your hard drive, or flash driver or whatever it is. the second one is the actual mount command, if you type mount --help it will show you how to use the command [06:44] Oh goody... I'm gonna be installing w/o a mouse... LOL [06:44] i still need to update the vidcard somehow [06:44] pkundu, the easiest way might be to use syslinux and a drop-in kernel image .. check out the DSL website, it's got a few good howtos [06:44] I can't even do the updates [06:44] It boot and then freezes in under 3 mins [06:44] biggest issue on getting anything to work was getting on the internet with it first, alot of other problems go away after you do that [06:45] andrew you on the linix box now ? [06:45] Internet is connected right from the install [06:45] GothicProphet: LOL [06:45] no [06:45] It disappeared on me... [06:45] GothicProphet: goody goody gumdrops! [06:45] So now I can't get past the "select time zone" [06:45] LOL [06:45] i am noob, so just voicing what i had to do. i have freeze issues as well. sometimes i can force close app, but other times i cant [06:45] mastershrek i kind of got that much of it and i did know it was 2 commands how do i know which one is my next thing to mount tho cause it wont be /dev/sdb if im not mistaken [06:46] GothicProphet: HAHA.. you sure tab doesn't work [06:46] kaboombob, the sudo part is so that you have administrator privlidges to make that directory and to mount the drive (sudo is a very big thing in linux because it provides a good layer of security for your system) the sh basically tells the command line that it will be receiving a shell script (sh stands for shell i believe) and the stuff in the quotes is the actual command, with the semicolon and the quotes it appears as one c [06:46] ommand in a sense [06:46] what a pain it was to get wireless hooked in, it was like slow death, bad [06:46] Flannel, gave me wat i am looking for thnx man [06:46] Quite... Tried it... it was sitting there on the New York option after every attempt... [06:46] mastershrek k i knew that to [06:46] kaboombob, well that all depends on your setup [06:46] what os by ubuntu should i get if i have these system specs [06:46] Sysinfo for 'ubuntu': Linux 2.6.22-14-generic running KDE 3.5.8, CPU: AMDAthlon643000+ at 1000 MHz (2102 bogomips), , RAM: 998/1011MB, 124 proc's, 3.3h up [06:47] sdb2 maybe, or possibly sdc1 [06:47] jay-oh-en: you can run any of the ubuntus. [06:47] mastershrek i dont know the syntax to well yet but im getting there slowly so just look for a change next time is the only way to know what the mount point is [06:47] nickrud: what will be the best looking or fastest [06:48] mastershrek also how can i tell what the filesystm type is? [06:48] yes, the sytax is somewhat like learning dos all over again, or atleast it reminds me of that [06:48] nickrud: im on ubuntu live cd but i have a bunch of cds so i can install xubuntu [06:48] kaboombob, if you were to type: sudo fdisk -l in a command line it should tell you what u need to know [06:48] nickrud: or whatever os [06:48] jay-oh-en: xubuntu would run the fastest, and looks is a matter of taste. I think kde and xfce are tasteless myself :) [06:48] kaboombob, it lists all the partitions that are present as well as their filesystems [06:48] mastershrek cool i kind of knew that one to [06:48] nickrud: want to see my current setup of kde and say its tasteless? [06:49] kaboombob, usually you dont have to mess with mount on the command line, your device should automatically mount [06:49] jay-oh-en: I'm sure it's gaudy, I like a nice bland desktop, nothing to get in the way of work [06:49] nickrud: i'm with you on that one [06:49] kaboombob, then all you have to do is make a new mount point for it, and then mount it. most of the time you wont even need the -t in the mound command. but i never put the two commands together myself...its always sudo mkdir /mount/point then sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /mount/point [06:49] unop i know but both of my usb things i have connected have had some major issues [06:49] nickrud: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/pronege/mydekstop2.png [06:50] kaboombob, in this case, it probably failed to mount because of the invalid parition table on the device which is why we had to resort to the command line [06:50] unop, if it had an invalid partion table it would mount anyway afaik [06:50] jay-oh-en: oh, my eyes!!! all the K' and gears , the horror ... [06:51] nickrud: but im tired of it looking so pretty im ready for functionallity cause that doesnt have any of it i have alot of problems [06:51] woof [06:51] nickrud: stop playing around haha [06:51] MasterShrek: what you think of my desktop since your a kde user [06:51] MasterShrek, well, it seems hald didnt auto-mount it .. but mount did mount it [06:51] kaboombob, would yo happen to know if your user is a member of the plugdev group? i dont know if u need to be in ubuntu (as i dont really use it much) but in slack you do [06:51] jay-oh-en: you can pimp gnome and xfce also. [06:51] jay-oh-en, how u konw i was a kde user? lol [06:51] yeah thats what you were saying and i saw that in there thank you for the help i can now listen to something other than sandstorm again [06:51] KDE FTW! lolz [06:52] pretty sweet lookin jay-oh-en [06:52] MasterShrek: cause i can see through your screen [06:52] mastershrek plugdev group ? [06:52] kaboombob, using gnome i assume? [06:52] MasterShrek: jk i talked to you a long time ago but i dont want to say my name [06:52] unop yeah thats what you were saying and i saw that in there thank you for the help i can now listen to something other than sandstorm again [06:52] mastershrek yes i am [06:52] jay-oh-en, why not? [06:53] kaboombob, yw [06:53] kaboombob, ok, system > admin > users (i think lol i dont use gnome either) [06:53] MasterShrek: cause it was banned way back when [06:53] MasterShrek: and im ready not to get banned anymore and i dont want to bring up any skelitons in my colset [06:54] lol [06:54] LOL [06:54] ima li srba ovde? [06:54] mastershrek k what about it? === HashBox_ is now known as HashBox [06:54] kaboombob, im not sure what it looks like lol, is there a groups tab? [06:54] Where is grub loader? [06:54] yeah i clicked it now what? [06:55] nickrud: what has the most support for hardware [06:55] nickrud: and printers [06:55] kaboombob, is there a group called plugdev? [06:55] no [06:55] Hello all. I have just installed Gutsy and it keeps freezing. I'm new to Linux. Can someone help me? [06:55] hey ,.,. can anyone recommned any cool programs for ubuntu?? [06:55] mastershrek powerdev and netdev but no plugdev [06:55] Andrew250, fresh install? [06:56] it is [06:56] MasterShrek: i have kde installed i just cant get my printer to work i have a mp730 and [06:56] kaboombob, hmm is there a hald group maybe? [06:56] remove and [06:56] _bod: try build essential then you can make your own [06:56] jay-oh-en: I wouldn't be the right person to ask, I've been running gnome since I started. Sampled many, but never stuck with them long enough to become familiar [06:56] jay-oh-en, i dont know much about printers, u install cups? [06:56] kde is very bad! [06:56] MasterShrek: I've done it like 7 times in the last 2 days [06:56] I like my gnome [06:56] heh [06:56] nemanja_, lies! but this isnt the channel for that discussion [06:56] MasterShrek: yes i installed everything [06:56] It's a shame that comp is in pieces right now. [06:56] albtross: wot build my own programs?? i have to go to school in an hour! [06:56] mastershrek haldaemon [06:57] MasterShrek: but the driver they recomend for my printer prints really small [06:57] bod_ an hour? that's a long ass time you can do a lot of programming [06:57] ubuntu - gnome [06:57] kaboombob, try adding your user to that group, logging out and back in and then plug ur flash drive in [06:57] i mean, most of it will be spent finding it doesnt compile but it's fun [06:57] albatross: not when ur not a programmer,.,. all i can do is write script to start amarok on log-in [06:57] Ima li srba ovde?? [06:57] mastershrek ok why am i doing that tho? [06:58] bod_: seriously though i'd suggest wireshark i find snooping my house network fascinating [06:58] who here has tested all of the ubuntus xfce kde gdk just tell me what was the best [06:58] Wireshark is fun. [06:58] albatross: wot does it do? [06:58] bod_: it's a packet sniffer. [06:58] its designed for network analysis, it caputures packets, basically you can see who's looking at what over a network [06:58] not just best as in best i mean in all around there can be a little problems i can fix themm but what was the fastest and had the lease problems with hardware [06:58] kaboombob, i have a feeling your user does not have hald (which is your hardware abstraction layer daemon, hence hald) permissions. thats what my problem in slackware was and after i added my user to the plugdev group, automounting worked [06:58] albatross: im the only linux machine in the house [06:59] MasterShrek: can you make slackware look nice? do you still run it? [06:59] bod_: Is yours the only system in the house at all? [06:59] bod_: it works on a more fundamental level than that, you basically pick up all traffic (if you're on a wireless of hub based network) and you can sift through it [06:59] jay-oh-en, kde 3.5.8 [06:59] GothicProphet: no [06:59] albatross: cool!!!! [07:00] if the general discussion is about window managers, which it seems to be: i'd suggest ion [07:00] jay-oh-en: Doesn't backtrack run off of slackware ... I thought it looked alright [07:00] bod_: Then you can see all the packets, like albatross said, from a wireless network and sort through'em.

[07:48] ivanteran: define professional [07:48] fotoflo sorry don't know commands that well [07:48] ivanteran: What do you mean a 'professional' gui? [07:48] ivanteran, if you mean just one desktop, forget it. [07:48] like paid for production [07:49] bod_: I have AIM, Y!, and ICQ too if need be... but most of the people I talk to are on MSN... LOL [07:49] hi there, byt "profesional" i mean a feel of being using an integrated gui where the apps cooperate without any hassles like the clasic copy-paste issue [07:49] i no ,.,. its so annoying ,.,. im still at school so all my m8's r still microsoft bastards cause they know no different,.,. i think they should teach linux systems in school [07:50] ivanteran: i hate the copy paste issue [07:50] !copy [07:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about copy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:50] !paste [07:50] 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) [07:50] bod_: I'm actually taking a class right now, Architecture and Operating Systems... it's covering XP and Linux. heh. [07:50] jay-oh-en: wot copy-paste issue? [07:50] GothicProphet: coolio [07:51] bod_: you copy but it doesnt really copy it [07:51] jay-oh-en: im confused ????? [07:51] jay-oh-en: it does, it just copies to a different buffer [07:51] jay-oh-en & ivanteran: I've run into that. [07:51] Nope,.,. mine copies nicely [07:51] GothicProphet: is there a fix? [07:52] jay-oh-e: yer ,.,.,.,. type it [07:52] jay-oh-en: No idea... my ubu-box is down at the moment so I haven't had a chance to mess with it. [07:52] jay-oh-en: And since it's down, I haven't bothered to look on the forums. [07:52] heh [07:52] well, I guess the main reason for that feeling I have about the linux desktop is that the mainstream big companies do not port their apps like on mac os x [07:53] ivanteran: They don't see much reason to. Comparatively, linux users account for a very small percentage of total systems out there. [07:53] hello people can i plz ask a question [07:53] ivanteran: We get more people using Linux, and more companies will start producing apps for it. [07:53] !ask | umair007 [07:53] umair007: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:53] umair007: go ahead. [07:53] !question [07:54] ok man i am using a pc with vista but i tend to get bored and want to install ubuntu which i have had for long but had to switch for some reasons [07:54] umair007: so wots the problem? [07:54] well, that opinion is half right, mac users represent a low share too and they have the main apps running there, so what's the deal????? [07:54] i was wondering if ill be able to run the compiz on ubuntu with my s3 chipset which allows aero [07:54] Is there a GUI ftp client preinstalled with Ubuntu? If not, can someone recommend one? [07:55] ivanteran, GothicProphet, if you wouldn't mind taking this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, it'd be appreciated. Thanks [07:55] umair007: i guess so ,.,. if its 3d hardware accelerator it will work [07:55] Boglizk: places > connect to server [07:55] but vista Aero did work on it its s3 chrome 9 IGP [07:55] umair007: is ur graphics card a 3d hardware accelerator card? [07:56] Flannel: Thanks.. but they should really put that under apps > Internet. [07:56] another thing is that i dont think there are any propreitory drivers released for it [07:56] I say if people want compiz, they should get nvidia [07:56] its a chipset not a graphic card and its dx 9 supporting [07:56] Boglizk: Its not an application, its a built-in feature [07:56] Compiz runs fine for me under dells stock whatever it is. [07:56] :) [07:56] intel [07:56] after updateing /etc/group do i have to do anything to refresh privs? [07:56] umair007: ok,.,. YES! [07:57] but man if it wont work for me that will be a heartbreaking thingy [07:57] hello, i want to run windows xp on my ubuntu, what virtualization software should i use? [07:57] i want compiz and i also heard it aint that resource hunting brat [07:57] umair007: compiz should run fine ,.,. the heartbreak could be fixed with £40 on a graphics card [07:58] elius: Use virtualbox [07:58] elius, VMWare server? [07:58] !vmware [07:58] man ok thats something u telling a person sitting somewhere else :P it costs a lot here [07:58] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [07:58] elius, ^^ [07:58] thanks [07:58] phenom: didn't have luck with vmware in linux, virtualbox was much easier to setup [07:58] * GothicProphet does a happy dance! [07:59] IRSeekBot, Is any one behind your helm? [07:59] badkitty, get it from the vmware web site, it works [07:59] i need help installing gcc on my root [07:59] VMWare works great for me,, never had any problem, and have vista and slack open now.

[08:00] jay-oh-en: you'll have the same programs available to you in the repositories, regardless of which WM you pick. As for 64 bit, you'll have all the things in main and universe (at least) [08:00] IRSeekBot (n=IRSeekLo@irseek/log-bot/IRSeekBot) [08:00] What the heck, my gnome-panel is gone and I'm unable to start it. If I run gnome-panel from terminal I can see it but not use it. [08:00] hmm, im having a problem with permissions [08:00] can someone help me?

[08:03] The 64bit version seems to lack as much support [08:03] GothicProphit: im running ubuntu 7.10 and64 gutsy [08:03] gnome [08:03] if i set o+rwx user b can read and write [08:04] but if i remove it, then its no goi [08:04] bod_: if I experience the probs with the flash videos, I'll find a fix and let you know. ;) [08:04] Anyone else besides me have 64bit processor running 32 for good reasons? [08:04] GothicProphet: are you 64bit? [08:04] fotoflo: user b is in group G? [08:04] jay-oh-en: Yep [08:04] flannel: yes [08:04] badkitty: me [08:04] fotoflo: `sudo -u b groups` shows G?

[08:04] bod_: If I don't find a fix and it gives me other issues, I'll be switching back to a 32bit version. [08:05] jay-oh-en: They probably just haven't hit the 64-bit ISSUES yet ... [08:05] jay-oh-en: Oh, ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) [08:05] GothicProphet: ok [08:05] Flannel: yup [08:05] bad [08:05] badkitty: i always did in feisty and it was horrible [08:05] jay-oh-en: its reletively new,.,.give it time [08:05] hmm [08:06] Flannel: i think i just figured it out [08:06] jay-oh-en: I tried 64 in edgy...that was a bad idea [08:06] Flannel: lemme try something [08:06] All the 64 stuff is pretty new... Let the geeks (and I say that with much love!) have some time to tinker. ;) [08:06] lol [08:06] badkitty: sounds bad eeeww [08:06] brb, updating [08:06] When u say geeks in respect to linux ,.,. ur always meaning it in a good way!!!1 [08:06] jay-oh-en: I likened the 64 edgy stable to an unstable nightly build erc [08:07] jay-oh-en: 64 gutsy gnome ,.,. works fine [08:07] back [08:07] badkitty: its just toooooooo much for me its a"i can fix it" but "i dont have the time to fix it" kinda thing [08:08] lol [08:08] flannel: had to log out and log back in [08:08] bod_: ill skip until hoary [08:08] jay-oh-en: Hardy [08:08] jay-oh-en: When's that one coming out?

[08:43] gvsa123: You'll need to kill the currently running ntpdate (it starts when you boot). ps aux | grep ntpdate [08:43] Flannel: having trouble doing things from samba [08:43] sahl: for ubuntu to find all the hardware in your computer it has to be connected to the net during the install [08:44] sahl: if you don't do it then everything may not work [08:44] internet connection almost a true need to do anything like that, as far as i can see [08:44] can ubuntu play card games [08:44] kr00l, is it just to run (gui) q/gparted??? [08:44] fotoflo: samba is a whole other thing. And something I have no idea about. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/windows-networking.html is the best I can do [08:44] !gparted [08:44] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [08:44] i fiddled with this box for days, only to finally get interent, and all is so so so much better [08:44] Flannel: i get this: me 9279 0.0 0.3 2976 748 pts/0 R+ 22:53 0:00 grep ntpdate [08:44] sahl:!gparted [08:44] i think i got it working [08:44] gvsa123: try just ps aux | grep ntp [08:45] test [08:45] sahl: !gparted [08:45] Flannel: that url is pretty useless [08:45] misslecommande1, failed [08:45] as is the default samba conf [08:45] kr00l, how to run !gparted???

[08:46] sahl, visit the gparted website, you can download the .iso image and burn it to a CD, boot the machine using that CD [08:46] gvsa123: No need otpaste. Anyway, second column (5250) is the PID. sudo kill 5250, then you can run ntpdate [08:46] parthan, where?? http://...??? [08:46] sahl | !gparted [08:47] test [08:47] misslecommande1, you are here [08:47] thank you [08:47] it was a pain to get my wireless netcard working, i am glad to be here :) [08:47] I have this recurring problem that nautilus seems to crash every so often, meaning I have to terminate the process to get it started functionally again. Any idea on how to fix this? [08:47] sahl, http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [08:47] sahl: using the live cd you go to the top of the menu > System > Administrator > Partition Editor [08:48] Flannel: it says no server suitable for synchronization ffound [08:48] Flannel: i just look for another server? [08:48] i think the OS itself , almost certainly needs an internet connection. i messed with it for days, finally getting the net to work, all is much better now [08:48] gvsa123: you used ntp.ubuntu.com? [08:49] misslecommande1, what got messed up? [08:49] Flannel: yes [08:49] kr00l, thank you... so much it's what i mean. do i have to download it, or it's already in CD? [08:49] I want to download every webpage that belongs to a specific domain (let's say cnn), what is the easiest way to do this [08:49] ? [08:49] wget? [08:49] i had to switch between this an windows, in order to download the files i needed [08:49] sahl: do you know what a live cd is? [08:49] just to get the netcard to work [08:49] sahl: because it's on the live cd [08:49] misslecommande1, nice [08:50] what's the room i should join to get support regarding mackintosh products? [08:50] folks; ubuntu has been crashing on me recently (i dont think its a CPU heat thing, its well below the expected range).... any ideas? [08:50] i come here, little by little i finally got it to work, and i thank you all [08:50] i have less freezes, now that i disabled the nvdia restricted driver [08:50] IRSeekBot: You're gay,, log that.. [08:50] Can someone tell me, who does the 200.x.x.x IP range belong to? [08:50] I am a nooby whos channel got flooded [08:50] mostly from floodbots on 200.x.x.x [08:51] think its foreign? [08:51] or north american [08:51] fx_: try a whois [08:51] !offtopic | fx_ [08:51] fx_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:51] fx_, please use #freenode for stuff like that [08:51] sorry all [08:51] i am a nooby [08:51] just trying to get help [08:51] Anyway... [08:51] North america is foreign for some people :P [08:51] I'm off for the night/morning all.. see ya! [08:52] ya, and the ones like me who live there its foreign to us too. [08:52] fx_, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [08:52] 200.255.255.255 -> ns,embratel.net.br [08:52] We all live on the Earth, so nothing is foreign [08:53] by the way, i like the network tools, they are a great idea [08:53] sahl, you still around? [08:53] kr00l, parthan, all, thank you so much... i'll try to find it. i'm sorry if i've made you hard... see you ;) [08:53] lol, how to exit a manpage? [08:53] Flannel: 17 Jan 16:52:58 ntpdate[9372]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset 64244.880235 sec this i got when i used the -u options as mentioned here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-470541.html [08:53] riaal: q [08:53] riaal: q [08:53] q:) [08:54] thanks [08:54] sahl, if you are looking to buy a nice desktop computer that has ubuntu and windows on it? I sell them [08:54] gvsa123: thats what you want [08:54] i apt-get compiz, how do i remove it? [08:54] robinsjostrom, use the packet manager [08:54] hello, is program qtparted bootable from CD? can i work with it without operating system [08:54] ? [08:55] Flannel: i see... the date changed already... but i'm a little off in time [08:55] Sergo: you can use the live cd and run gparted from that [08:55] Slart, thanks [08:55] gvsa123: by an integral amount of hours, I imagine? [08:55] Flannel: ah... i unticked use utc... and it's ok now [08:56] robinsjostrom, apt-get remove compiz [08:56] NIGHT ALL! [08:56] Flannel: it perfect now... i have the same time as my cell phone whcih supposedly syncs with my service provider... thanks a lot [08:57] hey guys.....an ubuntu machine of mine is running between .5 and .7 load [08:57] Flannel: but when i issued the kill command, that means that the daemon [?] runs on boot, but why doesn't it sync? because i need the -u option? [08:57] but a top shows no command taking upthat cpu [08:57] any ideas? [08:57] I am running software raid [08:57] How do I check the system hardware info like GHz, RAM, and the like? [08:58] i have raid capable system, but i am not using it [08:58] gvsa123: I really have no idea. They changed since Ive dealt with it (I'm runnign dapper) and on dapper ntpdate is run each boot (I believe ntpd has a one-time option that behaves the same way? I dont know) [08:58] Flannel: hey gotta go... but thanks a lot.. been living with this problem for more than a week now... [08:58] System Monitor shows basic information like that [08:59] Flannel: i see... but thanks a lot again... [08:59] thanks parthan [08:59] more detailed info in Hardware Information [08:59] oh, thats for Arthur [09:00] Arthur, sudo lshw [09:00] Ah, many thanks [09:00] i found it earlier [09:00] rocco: so.. you have on average 0.6 processes running... that sounds like something is waking up every now and then...you probably looked when it was sleeping [09:01] Slart i had this happen >> checked processes becaue irc wasnt repondind, and all the apps had "Sleeping" [09:01] whats that all about ? [09:01] Slart, well it used to run with a load of 0 0 0 [09:02] misslecommande1: nothing was running I guess.. like most computers these days.. waiting for keyboard input [09:02] Slart, anyway to watch to see what processes are waking up [09:02] ok, solong as it is normal [09:03] rocco: you can always reboot and look at the "total time" column to see which process is increasing it's time..might be more then one though [09:03] misslecommande1: it is normal afaik [09:03] ok ty [09:03] can somebody help me with doing a manual install? [09:04] misslecommande1: you figure your problem out? [09:04] is that the time column in a ps aux commaned Slart ? [09:04] quick terminal question: i have several files 1.gz 2.gz 3.gz and i want to rename them all ABC1.gz ABC2.gz... how do i do this? [09:04] !swap [09:04] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:04] seems like the nvidia-gtk-new was causing more frequent freezes [09:05] <_ruben> fotoflo: for $x in *.gz ; do mv $x ABC$x ; done [09:05] misslecommande1: yep that was it i just couldnt stick arond to help sorry but im glad you got your problem fixed [09:05] i feel like i am taking a lunch break, 2 or 3 days of hell, finally now i can see what linux is all about [09:05] yeah me 2 [09:05] rocco: try using htop instead of top.. you get pretty colors and some extra columns [09:06] rocco: or just use the system monitor in gnome [09:06] getting connected to network was a MAJOR help, so major [09:06] system monitor in gnome says 2% [09:06] I'm logged in over ssh [09:06] hello [09:06] so can anybody help with donig a manual install? like selecting how much space ech partion needs [09:06] test [09:06] rocco: you can select what columns to view in the system monitor.. there are many many [09:07] hello harrison [09:07] I cant find my old irc client... [09:07] fine then ignore me [09:07] oh well [09:07] jay-oh-en: I'm to tired to do a walk-through.. but you can ask us questions as you run into them [09:07] pidgin stops every once in a while, dont quite know wht [09:07] Slart, htop shows 0.7% cpu sometimes, occasionally 1.3% [09:07] is there anyone here that has setup gkrellm and using the gkrellkam plugin? [09:07] only 1 process running [09:08] Slart: its not really a walk through i just need you to answer questions i ask along the way [09:08] rocco: you could try running powertop.. not that I think about it that shows wake ups.. and what is running [09:08] I spent all night looking on how to enable AGP fastwrite, I enabled it and there barly any difference :P [09:08] ahhh cool [09:08] slart like if i have 500gb harddrive how much swap do i need and how much /home partion and how much / partion? [09:08] it's dropping right down now [09:08] 0.14 [09:08] jay-oh-en : i see what you said, pigdin stopped on me, i just closes tab and /join again [09:08] maybe it was the uptime and top commands that were driving it high? [09:08] jay-oh-en: all the gurus say swap should be twice your RAM [09:09] can sb help me install windows on the second partition [09:09] rocco: that might very well be it [09:09] Slart, how stupid ;) [09:09] slart i have 1gb ram ddr2 i think tho [09:09] really, what does swap do? [09:09] i am not using swap file, i can make a partition for it though [09:09] that interrogating your system can lead it to show that it may be broken [09:09] harrison: acts as extra mem [09:09] jay-oh-en: then 2 GB swap should be ok [09:09] !swap > harrison [09:09] oh of course [09:10] Slart: how much is that in mbs? [09:10] like virtual memory on windows? [09:10] jay-oh-en: 2048 MB [09:10] i will make a swap file eventually [09:10] slart thanks [09:10] you think not having swap file might be cuase of some freezes ? [09:11] How much performance can I gain with a swap file? [09:11] mostly happens when clicking or keyboard input [09:11] Slart: how much for the whole linux system like the "/" partion [09:11] jay-oh-en: for the rest I'd say.. 10 GB for the system root [09:11] everytime i start ubuntu i have to type "ifup eth0" to get ip from dhcp server. How can i make it do this automaticly? [09:12] misslecommande1, how much memory does your computer have? [09:12] Slart I like powertop [09:12] :D [09:12] jay-oh-en: and the rest to be used for home and such... depends on what you are going to install... are you going to use wine? then your home drive grows substantially [09:12] Slart: most people say 30gbs [09:12] rocco: it's great.. [09:12] you're telling me [09:12] olddude 1 gig ddr 400mhz [09:12] well things seemed to have quietened down [09:13] jay-oh-en: 30GB is a lot for the system.. hang on.. let me check how big mine is [09:13] you might want to have a swap file then. [09:13] Slart: i have 500gb harddrive so i am going to make the /home the rest then i have another 200gb of mem for just whatever [09:13] thats why i didnt make swapfile right away, i had alot of memory [09:13] olddude: ok i will make one next reboot [09:13] i have a gig and a half and still have a swap file. [09:13] how do I check my current swap file size? [09:14] !root [09:14] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:14] olddude : i had reseved only 25 gig of 80 gig HD for ubuntu, but wasnt expecting it to ask me for swap after i chose full free space [09:14] anyone got any help? [09:14] i can easily make room though, i am good at that [09:14] jay-oh-en: my computer is still thinking about the disk size thingy... I think I have less than 8GB used on my root partition.. [09:15] anyone? [09:15] Slart: but is it going to get bigger or no [09:15] well it would be a good choice if u have the room [09:15] jay-oh-en: not that much.. [09:15] how do I check my swap size? [09:15] olddude: on this machine i have total of 240 gig available, but i also have multiple OS's [09:15] why do i have to type "ifup eth0" to get ip from dhcp server everytime i reboot? [09:15] harrison, the simplest way i can think of off the top of my head would be to open gparted and see what that shows the parition sizes are [09:15] jay-oh-en: but you could make it 30 GB if it makes you sleep better at night =) [09:16] gparter an app I guess? [09:16] Slart: im going to do some research cause why waste space [09:16] harrison, i use gkrellm and at the bottom it tells me my swap size command wise i wouldnt know. [09:16] robinsjostrom : i have similiar issue, but i dont know of the ifup thing [09:16] misslecommande1: damn i need to get it to work [09:16] is gkrellm avalable in add remove? [09:17] Slart seems to have subsided now [09:17] harrison, yes, its under one of the drop down menus, not the apps one though, i'm not on ubuntu at the minute so i can't point directly to it [09:17] jay-oh-en: if you don't want to waste space you can make one big system drive.. but then backing up will be trickier [09:17] ok [09:17] rocco: hehe.. boiled pot and all =) [09:17] found it! [09:17] robinson: i would think there is a script you can run at boot, but i am new, so i dont know for sure [09:17] installing [09:17] Slart, thanks for the help....I'll keep an eye on it [09:17] misslecommande1: auto eth0 [09:17] iface eth0 inet dhcp [09:17] but was getting worried [09:17] chkrootkit showed nothing [09:18] robin : thank you, i sure could use that [09:18] Slart: ok i have 700gigs you think im worried about that [09:18] jay-oh-en: ok..my /usr is 8.8 GB.. the rest is under 1 GB in size.. [09:18] I found this good swap FAQ [09:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq === earlmred_ is now known as earlmred [09:18] Slart: i looked it up ill do 10gbs [09:18] harrison: thats what i sent you in pm [09:19] I have 855M...IS that good? [09:19] really? [09:19] Slart: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480894\ [09:19] jay-oh-en: my current size was about 9GB.. if I were you I'd go with 15.. it's annoying to run out of space on your root partition [09:19] oh ye [09:19] Slart: ok well i have the space since thats no big deal [09:20] misslecommande1: auto eth0 tells it to do it at startup [09:20] Slart: how big is 15 in gbs? [09:20] so is 855M Mega bite? [09:20] Slart: how big is 15gbs in MBs? [09:20] jay-oh-en: 15*1024... or just put 15000 [09:20] 1027mb in a GB [09:20] harrison: how big is your harddrive [09:20] this one im using is just 20GB [09:21] harrison: 1027? [09:21] close enough :P [09:21] Slart: so 151024 [09:21] =) [09:21] or 15 times 1024 [09:22] jay-oh-en: sounds about right [09:22] Slart: ill tell you hold on [09:22] * Slart has 1.5 GB of docs... that's a lot of man-pages [09:22] so how much swap should I have? or is 855M ok? [09:22] harrison: for a 20gb harddrive thats good [09:22] harrison: 2*RAM... according to most people.. [09:22] IRSeekBot: You're gay,, log that.. [09:23] Slart: 15360 is it [09:23] anyone can tell where ubuntu puts downloaded and installed programms? [09:23] It's funny, I have a super gamming machine upstairs and yet I can't resist messing around on ubuntu :P [09:23] hey, I need help here with acpi and usb [09:23] Maverique: all over the place.. why are you asking? [09:23] i want to make partions [09:23] I have an Asus m2a-vm motherboard [09:23] anybody know about that? [09:23] Slart: when im done you tell me if this sounds about right [09:24] Maverique: oh.. /usr mostly [09:24] want the programms have a bit biger one [09:24] jay-oh-en: ok [09:24] ok [09:24] Slart: should any of this be different from logical or primary? [09:24] well i am going to replace win2k with ubuntu [09:24] ok [09:24] jay-oh-en: nope.. go with primary unless you need more than 4 partitions [09:24] Slart, w says 2 users are logged in [09:24] Slart: i have 3 [09:25] but underneath only shows one [09:25] is there anyway to tweek ubuntu for speed?

[09:25] Slart: how do i print screen in xubuntu [09:25] does anybody know about boot options? [09:25] does ubuntu 32bit support an Celeron D processor correctly? [09:26] Slart, is it a phantom-user for a process? [09:26] hey, is there anyone here who is good at bash scripting? [09:26] jay-oh-en: I don't know about xubuntu.. isn't there some application ? [09:26] I'm trying to boot up without disabling USB [09:26] rocco: your guess is as good as mine.. [09:26] Slart: no thats what i said is there one i should install?

[09:31] Slart: im on live cd i want to use whats here [09:31] LurkersA: ah, thanks [09:31] TheLynx: No problem [09:32] jay-oh-en: then I guess synaptic is what you get [09:32] but i'm not able to config all the fonts i want to display [09:32] randomwalker I used diff -i -E -b -w agents badguys but I get the whole 2 files in my output :s [09:32] jay-oh-en: you can install stuff even if you're using the live cd.. as long as you're connected to internet [09:33] Anubis_be: hmm so the matching bits are pretty sparse [09:33] test [09:33] what in the updates would have crashed my installation of ubuntu ? [09:34] randomwalker file one is and adress list, and file 2 also an adress list but completly other formatted (file 1 is sql output file2 is a list) [09:34] Anubis_be, oh, it might be best to convert them to the same format then [09:35] Anubis_be, can you pastebin snippets of both files [09:35] I'm trying to use VLC as my default media player under ubuntu linux. [09:35] randomwalker ok doing it now [09:35] Anubis_be, try asking the same in #bash [09:35] How might I do this? [09:35] how to install windows on the second paartition [09:35] is it possible [09:36] ? [09:36] SteamMachine, right click on the file, select open with, choose other and select VLC, there will be a box "use this for opening files of the same type" check that one [09:37] SteamMachine, or go to system-->preferences-->preferred applications-->multimedia tab [09:37] hi i have a few systems that are identical in every way i'd like to clone an ubuntu install i have on one to all of them-the only thought i had was dd the hd onto the others but that seems tedious any other ideas?

[09:40] like the command [09:41] sahil_, i'm not an expert with dd, i only had to use it once and I ended up having to ask in here [09:41] hello all. I've managed to butcher my resolution again. It's the same problem that drove me away before, and it has reared it's ugly head once more. I tried to tell the screen and graphics manager what my external monitor was and I've been booted to 800x600 land [09:42] is there anything I can do to go back to regular resolution? Even if I still have to deal with my laptop screen turning on all the time (it's broken) I'll deal as long as I get back to 1024x768 [09:43] Anubis_be, converting the first file to the second format sounds better. do you write any perl? [09:44] what is it with Atheros wifi cards loosing their range by up to 20% with Ubuntu ? [09:46] hi [09:46] how can i setup tv output [09:46] on ati graphic card [09:47] i use kubuntu 7.10 [09:47] and ati x600 [09:47] Hello, I installed wine.. And now I should just go and insert CD?? Or i have to create 2 libraries libwine-gl libwine-alsa and actually HOW to create them? [09:48] is possible to setup this ??? [09:48] randomwalker cough euhm perl I can write "hello world" :) [09:48] anyone?

O_o [09:51] Anubis_be, The thing is that I need to create 2 libraries and I dont know how >., [09:51] zetheroo, i find my atheros wifi gets better signal with ubuntu than it was getting with windows [09:51] anyone? resolution problems? [09:51] Hi all, I'm using Ubuntu but I want to install a package which is apparently in the Kubuntu official package repository, is there a way to install that on ubuntu? [09:51] my Linksys gets same signal both [09:52] dgjones: and you are just using the bundled driver? [09:52] i got a real noob question, i downloaded a file to install quake4 onto my desktop, i can't copy and paste it into the /usr/local/games/quake4 directory like i need to, so what would be my command line in the terminal to move my quake installer to the right directory [09:52] !libraries [09:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about libraries - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:52] !library [09:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about library - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:52] Anubis_be, ok.. you're going to need to look up regexes. it's not too hard, but it'll take an hour or two [09:52] Hi all. I need help with latest OpenOffice and Ubuntu 7.10. I've download rpm's, generate deb's, install it. But know I can't find it. Like there is no office on computer... I wanna open *.xls document, but I can't... [09:52] zetheroo, yes, works from straight install [09:52] azrael_: sudo cp /where/the/file/is /usr/local/games/quake4 I think [09:53] dgjones: well I have 4 clients with laptops with the Atheros chipset adn they all have the same issue... lower range [09:53] Anubis_be, you'll need a script that goes like this perl -ne 'if (/REGEX/) {print "[\n$1\n$2\n$3\n$4\n]\n"}' [09:53] Hey...Having some issues with recording audio in Feisty (tried the usual suspects, no luck (USB audio)) [09:53] zetheroo : could it be a power management issue ? [09:53] Anubis_be, basically you capture the 4 fields with regexes and spit them out in a different format [09:54] maybe there is a way you can stop it from trying to save power [09:54] Anubis_be, feel you can handle that? [09:54] randomwalker are you still here a bit later? I will try it [09:54] Anubis_be, yeah, i should be [09:54] misslecommander: you mean the card saving power? [09:54] zetheroo, strange, my atheros gets the best signal on ubuntu from any machine in the house, other ones are a Broadcom 4306 and Intel Wifi, always constantly over 80%, wheras windows was about 75% before it got deleted [09:54] How can I create libraries??

[09:56] can I get some help? [09:56] kost_ : i thought i needed to do that too, but i just download them from the ubuntu site.

[10:02] there we go [10:03] Zeth : i can only speak of windows style, but i know you can change the way it works on power save in Linux. [10:03] misslecommander, now you've got web access, its simple to do, you just open synaptic, search for xchat, tell it to install and click apply, thats all, it does everything for you [10:03] azrael_: cd Desktop [10:03] not desktop [10:03] http://pastebin.com/m5d9f64e4 is the error i get [10:03] case sensitive ;) [10:03] Zeth : someone else will probably help you much better [10:03] is it possible for me to install the KDE network manager in Ubuntu?

[10:14] was my first thought [10:14] if i want a command to run at startup, in what file should i put the command? [10:14] misslecommander: it recognizes, and the meters bounce. but with my USB audio card, it records higher pitched than it should [10:15] misslecommander: and with my intel HD, it's just distorted and completely unusable [10:15] ltB : pitch ? volume level ?

It normally fixes with a logout but I can't logout atm. [10:41] I need to install compiler on my root how [10:42] glassface: well, I can pause you there for a moment, there are compatability issues between Oracle 10 and ubuntu 7.10 in general things like java for the installer, glibc is a bit too new, etc. I would assume the same would be true of Oracle 9 if 10 is having issues [10:42] Away: what do you want to compile [10:42] !gcc | Away [10:42] Away: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:42] yes, there is a jre issue with that one, but i managed to pass that one. [10:42] Away, are you compiling C code? [10:42] glassface: Oracle does not support ubuntu as a supported platform, one of the reasons was the 6 month release cycle is too fast to keep up with [10:42] U may want to take a look at this [10:42] http://pastebin.com/d48e882bd [10:43] so, anybody here here have that volume control issue? [10:43] but not related to the icon theme [10:43] Away: thats not an ubuntu box [10:43] volume control is broken in many many ways [10:43] Away: please take that to an appropriate channel [10:43] Away: this is a *ubuntu* specific channel [10:43] ha, i had tried on rhel4 too, but no use with that one also. and more over i'm interested in ubuntu. [10:44] like, mute all sounds and flash-movies will still do sounds [10:44] glassface: RHEL4 and 5 are supported platforms. [10:44] ikonia; so where shud i ask my question ? [10:44] will VLC player replace what Media Player is not playing in Firefox ? [10:44] with gnome, can I add a menu extension or panel widget that will show my files? Like the Places menu, only I can drill down through the filesystem? [10:44] glassface: in #oracle I guess, but you won't get much help and certainly no official support as ubuntu is not a supported platform and it does have known compatability issues [10:44] jimcooncat: you want it on the panel? [10:45] jimcooncat: or just the file browser? [10:45] Slart, just FYI https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/183729 [10:45] mavi-: I'd like not to have to open the file browser just to get to a single file [10:45] misslecommander, what you trying to play? [10:45] ok. will try there. i thought some one here had challenged it already. any how thanks for your concern. [10:45] mavi-, nowhere but my ubuntu box at work :) [10:45] it works fine on my desktop machine (gentoo) and mine and my gf's ubuntu laptops :) [10:45] ActionParsnip : audio streams , like radio streaming on the net [10:46] it's just broken on this machine somehow [10:46] rocco: ah.. thanks for the info.. interesting [10:46] jimcooncat: i dont think there are such a file browser, but the deskbar let you search for files and open them without file manager [10:46] PodCast's and such as live streaming radio [10:46] Any way to regenerate the /etc/motd from motd.tail, without rebooting? [10:47] mavi-: thanks, that will work for me [10:47] i am afraid to break Firefox lol [10:47] jimcooncat: just rightklick the panel and "add to panel" then deskbar [10:47] misslecommander: audtio streaming servers have nothing to do with firefox, you'll be fine [10:47] Hi! In evolution mail client I received a zip file from an old outlook client. The attachment contains some nonsense chain of ascii characters. How can I convert this to a working ZIP? any ideas? [10:47] Jinx: then rightclick the deskbar-icon to get some more settings, it can search alot of places not just your files [10:47] Jinx: nm [10:47] hi [10:48] ikonia : i have places i would normally go to stream radio, but, i was using windows media player [10:48] fhfhf [10:48] misslecommander, do you mean asx files? [10:48] yes [10:48] misslecommander, theres a player for them. Gimme a sec [10:48] when i try to play them, i get no sound, and the player stops [10:48] Action : thank you [10:49] misslecommander: try the mplayer mozilla plugin, that works great for me. [10:49] misslecommander, http://vntutor.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-play-asx-files-under-firefox.html [10:49] mavi : i was looking at that, and have it in repository list, but wasnt sure it would work [10:49] Action : thank you [10:50] misslecommander, np dude [10:50] LtBrenton? [10:50] this is so silly [10:50] so i'm on gutsy [10:51] i hit Win+R [10:51] why doesnt the volume applet mute all sounds when you mute [10:51] and it zoomed in [10:51] how do i zoom out? [10:51] Cin: win + mousewheel to zoom in/out [10:51] LtBrenton? [10:51] mavi-: ahh, cheers [10:51] krabador: do you have a question, or is there a reason you keep saying that [10:52] krabador, the person will get back to you [10:52] once is enough [10:52] Slart, hehe np, I thoght I'd do a little digging....it was worrying me [10:52] ;) [10:52] uggh.. some people really remind me why i don't come to #ubuntu [10:53] krabador, wassup? [10:53] ikonia: simply i'm searching an user who helpem me 10 minute ago [10:53] please don't ping folks directly [10:53] it's bad nettiquette [10:53] eventually you'll irritate them and they will put you on ignore [10:53] right [10:53] says i have "Broken Packages" [10:53] :) [10:53] johnny_, or attack back :) [10:53] lol.. hopefully they won't escalate [10:54] bonjour ,quel est le salon "ubuntu français "? SVP [10:54] !fr | mamour [10:54] mamour: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [10:54] says i have "Broken Packages" [10:54] rocco: yea.. seeing lots of users logged on to your home desktop can keep you up all night =) [10:54] indeed [10:54] it happens for every tty too [10:54] i will try it from Synaptic [10:54] merci Flannel... [10:54] so if you log into tty 1-6 [10:54] and then log out of all of them [10:54] and do a w [10:54] you'd get 6 users logged in [10:55] misslecommander, which package is broken? [10:55] try sudo apt-get install -f [10:55] I have read 'man telinit' but not understood in what situation one would instruct 'telinit 2'. [10:55] that usually fixes problems [10:55] rocco: well.. the w command isn't really system critical.. but I wonder if there's anything else using that utmp info [10:55] bullgard4: telinit 2 tells init to change to runlevel 2 [10:55] bullgard4: if you are already in runlevel 2, it's pointless [10:56] Slart, it's not system critical, but..... [10:56] it can sure worry the heck out of a sysadmin [10:56] zt34528: I know that and I have asked in what situations I might need to to give such an instruction. [10:57] rocco: yes.. indeed.. but now that we know about it it's not really a problem.. more of a nuiscance [10:58] yeh [10:58] bullgard4: for example if you have defined runlevel 5 as a set of services without sshd and without gdm, you would change to that set of services with telinit 5 (or simply init 5) [10:59] Hi. I have a sha1 for a file. E.g. 7d0736f69bec14b8872614bcaee3efbe68af9486 /home/imyousuf/dump-test/test123.dump [10:59] zt34528: I see. [10:59] how can I later at some point verify using this information whether the file is valid or not? === misho_ is now known as LauraBerlin [11:00] anyone knows some cheap dedicated hardware that can run some opensource NAS? [11:00] imyousuf: calculate the sha1 for the file again at a later time.. if the hashes match it's probably the same file [11:00] esperegu, most NAS run opensource OS [11:01] ActionParsnip: u know any cheap ones? [11:01] esperegu, how big do you want? [11:01] I see Slart, is there a way to specify the sha1sum to check it instead of me doing it? [11:01] imyousuf: how did you calculate the hash that you have there? [11:02] sha1sum /home/imyousuf/dump-test/test123.dump [11:02] ActionParsnip: Not that big. Just one or 2 disks or so. [11:02] i was having problem with wifi, so i filled a bug report, can anyone confirm if BUG #183731 is real? [11:02] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [11:02] mozilla-plugin-vlc: Depends: vlc-nox [11:02] esperegu, how about a 1gb nas? [11:02] imyousuf: look at the manpage for sha1sum... "man sha1sum" [11:02] ActionParsnip: Of course if it comes cheap with 4 it's also good [11:02] !bug #183731 [11:03] imyousuf: there's a -c or --check switch [11:03] I did, it has a option -c for checking [11:03] i tried to install just vlc-nox, but that has its onw problems [11:03] but I cld not get it to work Slart [11:03] i tried directions from vlc site, just as they said, no luck [11:03] imyousuf: hmmm.. let me try.. be right back [11:03] ok Slart [11:04] esperegu, http://manchesteritservices.securewebstore.co.uk/Inu_products/INU_ProdDetailsL4.asp?ref=28002971 [11:04] can anyone tell me what is required to make a script that runs? there is one line in it - cat test.txt - and it is chmod 777 but ./testscript gives me permission denied [11:04] esperegu, you need to be specific with storage capacity that you need [11:04] what am i missing [11:04] gary4gar: "Installation Gutsy (7.10) with kde4 failed." is real. [11:05] strike, you need #!/bin/bash at the top of it [11:05] strike, then chmod +x
