[00:00] soldats, sorry still kinda newbie [00:00] patbam: See above [00:00] havfunonline: when you doulbe-click the .deb. A dialouge appears, right? [00:00] !paste > tnj [00:00] ArthurArchnix: no, does not work [00:00] ArthurArchnix: ok did that [00:00] nickrud, neva! [00:00] Odd-rationale, yes. I clicked install package. It doesn't do anything, says it doesn't have all the required files [00:00] ArthurArchnix: i plugged my shuffle in again and there's nothing in the trash (i emptied it) [00:00] sudo make -C /var/yp [00:00] make: *** /var/yp: No such file or directory. Stop. [00:00] !paste > tnj [00:01] any idea what needs to be done to make that work [00:01] IG72: sudo dpkg -i [00:01] soldats, I get it now [00:01] Odd-rationale, only details it gives are it could not resolve gb.archive.ubuntu.com [00:01] hi everyone [00:01] ArthurArchnix: /dev/scd0: [00:01] setting using_dma to 1 (on) [00:01] HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error [00:01] tnj, go to www.pastebin.com and open the inputrc file and copy paste the whole file and ill edit it [00:01] quaal, what are you trying to do, keep your replies/question to one line [00:01] havfunonline: Instead of clicking install, see if there is a button near the top saying something like missing dependencies (I forget the exact name) [00:01] let me read the ubotu real quick [00:01] does anyone know why i am getting stripped boxes/squares over lighting, teleports , lightning gun. when i am playing unreal tournament 2004 [00:01] ????

[00:02] kitche: there is no "default.keyring" as mentioned in your solution, only "username.keyring" and "login.keyring" [00:02] neverblue sorry [00:02] neverblue, rebuild the YP database. [00:02] how do you force quit an application? [00:02] quaal, no idea, never heard of YP db [00:02] IG72: Sorry, I'm fresh out of ideas here. I've stumbled across some bug reports, but they're all about hdds. Lost the link, but it doesn't matter because there's no workaround. [00:02] komputes: well then that's probably why your keyring is not working like it should [00:02] ArthurArchnix: hmm, maybe there really is 1 gig of stuff on there [00:02] havfunonline, sudo killall or find the process id, and kill -9 [00:02] any one know of an msn client for ubuntu i can use with commandline? [00:03] kitche: so how do I reset it? [00:03] Odd-rationale, the package installer has notw frozen and won't do anything, including die [00:03] patbam: Is the shuffle showing up on your desktop? If so right-click on it and choose properties. It will tell you size and free space. [00:03] havfunonline: pgrep gives you the PID, pkill kills it [00:03] havfunonline: try alt+f2 "xkill" then click the window [00:03] soldats, done [00:03] "disk usage analyzer" says there's 967 megs on there, tho there's not even 100 songs on there [00:04] ninjabob7: well the EE lines show the problem :) Are you using nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new ? [00:04] tnj, do you have the pastebin link [00:04] Odd-rationale, that worked, thanks [00:04] ArthurArchnix: huh, weird: "221 items, totalling 966.5 MB" [00:04] ArthurArchnix: yes its a strange one, thanks for trying [00:04] yes www.pastebin.com [00:04] patbam: You got some big files. You can open the flash, then in nautlius under view choose list. THen you can arrange by size and see what's taking up all the space. Maybe you copied a video or something. [00:04] crdlb: actually i can't get the debs to work so I installed it manually though [00:04] soldats, yes [00:04] ArthurArchnix: thing is, i have deleted some songs to try to add others, and i still get the error [00:04] Odd-rationale: So what am I looking for now? [00:04] :/ [00:05] Anyone know of any good apps for podcast subscriptions w/automatic downloading? Something with the ability to be trayed please [00:05] ArthurArchnix: (sorry for newbishness, and thanks for your help) what do you mean by open the flsah? [00:05] ninjabob7: it failed horrendously, so try installing it again I guess [00:05] havfunonline: let's do it another way, do you still have that link I gave you where you downloaded the package? [00:05] yeh [00:05] I clicked on i386, I don't know it that was the right one [00:05] downloaded file to desk top and tried to open - got msg .bin file not supported N e suggestions [00:05] patbam: When you delete something off a flash drive it just moves it to the trash. It doesn't actually free up any space. Gnome developers don't consider this a bug. It's a feature. When using flash drives you should enable the bypass trash command and use the 'delete' option that does not move files to the trash. [00:05] CrazyWulf: rhythmbox [00:05] ArthurArchnix: hmm, i put a bunch of .wav files on there. are those larger? [00:05] crdlb: okay, i'l try that [00:05] havfunonline: Do you see all the packages with a red diamond in front of them? [00:06] i quick formatted an ntfs hd to ext3. is there an unformat i can do? i've used testdisk and photorec to recover some files but maybe it can be reverted. [00:06] ryan_, whats the file and its purpose ? [00:06] CrazyWulf: rhythmbox for gnome, amarok for KDE [00:06] Odd-rationale, red circle, yes [00:06] game file Armyops [00:06] tnj, after you copied the inputrc file to pastebin you need to press the submit button and it will give a special link to send to me [00:06] patbam: Sorry, I meant shuffle. Open up the shuffle folder. Then go >view >view as list. [00:07] havfunonline: My bad, yes circles. Chack to see whether you have all those packages installed on your machine. [00:07] soldats, http://pastebin.com/m72a50844 that must be it [00:07] Odd-rationale, all of them 1 by 1? might take a while, how do I do that? [00:07] aka AMERICAS aRMY [00:07] mhr , Is there an addon I need for Amarok? I don't see anything concerning podcast subscriptions [00:07] hi people is there anyone speaking french ? [00:07] ArthurArchnix: here? http://ruphus.com/stash/ipod.png [00:07] patbam, the click on the name size in the column heading to sort the songs by file size. You'll see the biggest ones. Then delete the ones that are too big by using the delete command that bypasses the trash. [00:07] havfunonline: Synaptic might be a good way. [00:08] patbam: Now click on ipod control. [00:08] hi MTecknology [00:08] havfunonline: keep a list of all of those which you don't have. [00:08] neo34, hi [00:08] ArthurArchnix: http://ruphus.com/stash/ipod.png thusly?

[00:10] havfunonline: I'll fine a easier way to do it... just wait. [00:11] patbam: So open up one of them, then when you're looking at the list, click on >view then at the bottom check 'view as list' [00:11] ArthurArchnix: right. looking thru the subfolders...

[00:12] thanks ArthurArchnix [00:12] ArthurArchnix: hmm, interesting: some of the mp3s that are visible on the device aren't visible in rhythmbox [00:12] soldats, np, I need to leave soon anyhow, leaving channel shortly [00:13] mhr: Yeah, I have that, but the command is... cryptic. [00:13] ArthurArchnix, I found this error do you have any idea why it would be doing this all of a sudden? [00:13] ArthurArchnix: i have just 5 artists total visible in rhythmbox, but more when i look thru the folders [00:13] ArthurArchnix, [ 41.852392] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) [00:13] Hey back hackers... what's the command to scan a folder recursively and return a list of files greater than say 5MB [00:13] MTecknology, i can t restore my xp pro session ! i got a blue screen displayed quickly and my pc always boot and reboot [00:13] ArthurArchnix: Just FYI, some further searching has found this http://linux-ata.org/faq.html 2nd sub-title combined mode, I have an intel board, perhaps it is this. I will try it later.. [00:13] Paddy_EIRE: I'm not good at wireless. Direct it to the channel. Sorry. [00:13] ArthurArchnix: would it be unwise to try to "move to trash" from nautilus? [00:14] ArthurArchnix, sure np [00:14] kitche: any ideas what happenes if i delete the contents of ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ ? [00:14] oops... bash* not back :P [00:14] NoGoodNick: command? you just boot from the CD and should see a GUI-like menu allowing you to select the text installation option [00:14] tnj, you still here [00:14] soldats, yes [00:14] when i try to burn with k3b, i get an error from growisofs [00:15] Hey would anyone know where I would start to find out why my integrated wireless on my laptop suddenly stopped working [ 41.852392] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) [00:15] neo34, you tried in ##windows? I haven't touched windows in a LONG time, but you may want to try safe mode first. [00:15] soldats, i see your post [00:15] NoGoodNick: I used the alternate CD a few times and did not have to specify any parameters on the boot loader prompt [00:15] tnj, ok http://pastebin.com/ma3ce214 id suggest just copy pasting the whole thing. after that close all terminals and open a new one and test by typing something and pressing pageup/down [00:15] havfunonline: Are you still there? [00:15] komputes: I have no idea what will happen [00:16] Odd-rationale, Sure am [00:16] havfunonline: How for along the list are you? [00:16] tnj, make sure you do it for /etc/inputrc and make sure you edit it via sudo or gksudo [00:16] soldats, ok [00:16] kitche: see i don't want to risk it, but I really want to get rid of this keyring password which i apparantly don't know [00:16] patbam try this... find /media/IPOD -size +6000k [00:16] Odd-rationale, not at all, I decided on doing it tomorrow, its after midnight and installing package by package would take a while [00:16] mhr: I need to, because the gui defaults to 800x600, and the install program cannot handle that gracefully. I have the alternate cd and the full dvd. [00:17] kitche: does the login procedure require this directory? [00:17] patbam... that will list every file in your ipod that's bigger than 6MB. [00:17] ArthurArchnix: ArthurArchnix ah, got a big list [00:17] 70 items, according to |nl [00:17] Anyone knows how to turn off icons in GNOME? [00:17] patbam: So you have a lot of songs over 6MB. It's not wonder your Ipod fills up so fast. [00:17] tnj, just let me know if it works [00:17] havfunonline: paste this into a ternimal: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53257/ [00:17] ArthurArchnix: but what i don't understand is why they're not showing up in rhtyhmbox [00:18] soldats, ok [00:18] ArthurArchnix: do you think it's ok to trash stuff from nautilus? [00:18] soldats, going to try apply it now [00:18] how can i make "is bigger than" in bash? if [ "$Var"/"$divider" > "$Limit" ];then ? [00:18] ArthurArchnix: several of hte songs showing up from that find don't show up in nautilus [00:18] havfunonline: Everything with a "p" you don't have installed. Everything with an "i" you already have installed. [00:18] Odd-rationale, will that work if I can't connect to the internet [00:18] i've tried mounting a share both through nfs and samba. i'm running into the same problem of after its shared and mounted, the mount point has permissions for user id 1000, while my client login is userid 500. how do i make them match? [00:19] how can i regulate bandwidth limit on ssh ? [00:19] havfunonline: Save the text and bring it over to the other comupter.

[00:21] How do you check the list of wireless access points your machine has been configured for? [00:21] * komputes is getting tired from repetition [00:21] patbam: Well, if you don't have a problem with re-adding files to your flash, maybe you should just completely clean all the files off it and start fresh. [00:21] tnj, you may have to go to the page you showed me and do the echo command in ther terminal for it to apply [00:21] patbam: Sorry, ipod, not flash [00:22] then open a new tab and see if it works [00:22] Olá creature bem vindo ao canal #ubuntu [00:22] Olá Slurpee__ bem vindo ao canal #ubuntu [00:22] !br | pitoow [00:22] pitoow: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português.

I'm certain of the mount point, but when he plugs in his shuffle next time will linux automatically recreate the file system? I mean when attached to Amarok or something. Also want to confirm the safety of the command. Patbam if no one responds, ask someone to look at that comm [00:26] ArthurArchnix: thank you very much for your help [00:26] hi all [00:26] Odd-rationale, Lol [00:27] ArthurArchnix, looks groovy to me,. but wait for more confirmation [00:27] havfunonline: There is even a link to download as text.

[00:30] patbam: Ignore the command then. Just plug it into itunes and tell itunes to restore to factory default. Much safer. [00:30] Odd-rationale; that is an opinion.. i disagree but that is also my opinion === crd1b is now known as crdlb [00:30] ArthurArchnix, itunes = worst program ever [00:30] patbam: Oh... sorry, thought you had a dual boot.

[00:32] * patbam tries it, crosses fingers [00:32] right, [00:32] Jangari: I think pam-mount is the answer you're looking for. [00:32] leila_, im not to familliar with usb HD im afraid,. try asking PriceChild [00:32] any othe rconfig file that runs on startup? [00:32] pam-mount eh? [00:32] anyone have any clue for a fix for touchpad? when I use my touchpad it spins around my desktop cube like like 75% of the time. is there a way to disable this while keeping the cube? [00:32] can smeone help me ? [00:32] bod_, if i know the answer i will anwer [00:32] Jangari put the mount command in .bashrc or .profile [00:32] i'll check it out [00:32] bod_, please don't just direct people to me [00:32] bastid_raZor: Hmm. Never you used transmission. But yes, I like ktorrent. [00:32] PriceChild, sorry [00:32] ah, th0r, are they run on login? [00:32] i don't knowabout the wiki's page PriceChild, but i have searched and googled alot all the instructions i found never helped so am thinking this are just lies [00:33] can you read me? [00:33] "pam_mount is a Pluggable Authentication Module that can mount volumes for a user session. Supports any filesystem your kernel is capable of, including tmpfs, FUSE, smbfs, cryptoloop, LUKS mounts, --bind and more." Jangari... that's from the website. There's lots of howtos on the forums. [00:33] vermes [00:33] Jangari yes...check the details...one is run every time you open a shell (.profile I think) and one is just run the first time you log in (.bashrc I think)...but check to make sure [00:33] Odd-rationale; transmission uses far less resources .. i can't get away from the interface of Ktorrent.

[00:51] Odd-rationale; and noticing ... ubuntu has packages for transmission [00:51] Odd-rationale, you said I'd get 'p's and 'i's [00:51] which means which? [00:52] pulicoti: that's not the plugin package [00:52] if anyone could help me- i just have a couple what i imagine would be quick questions [00:52] and also the plug in [00:52] MILLNERS__: The i you have installed already. Just get the p [00:52] Guys, in a new thttpd install should i use /srv or /var/www to serve files? [00:52] I have installed sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin, after that i did sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-javaplugin.so and it says : there is only one program which provides firefox - javaplugin.so (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so) .

[00:53] I have a problem [00:53] kitche i typed sudo dpkg -i| and it says this dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument [00:53] THe Pastebin page is here [00:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53261/ [00:53] pulicoti: it actually --config java I believe [00:53] please fix it [00:53] :( [00:54] ok [00:54] johnathon: is the package you have downloaded which is the .deb so it would be sudo dpkg -i isnapa.deb or whatever sorry have a short memory for long package names :) [00:54] anyone? [00:54] hello, i need help formating an NTSF partition to EXT3 [00:55] kitche i did type the file name i just didnt wanna type the long name on here cuz its long-ish [00:55] anyone know the best way to make a Playlist or which player will run in the terminal...using a playlist ? [00:55] donluigi, you mean converting an existing ntfs filesystem to ext3. keeping all the data intact? [00:55] johnathon: why does it show sudo dpkg -i| then? [00:55] Good Job PriceChild , this might be the instruction i been searching for [00:56] Dr_Willis_, i dont mind for the data, i already made a backup [00:56] johnathon: can you pastebin the exact command you used to pastebin.ca [00:56] donluigi, use gparted. delete partition, make it again, set its type to ext3. format it. [00:56] hello... regarding the eee pc, is anyone having problems with the Atheros ethernet driver? I have installed ubuntu on it without a problem, followed some guides. ifconfig eth0 shows as active, so I set an IP on it but can't ping out or anything. The weird thing is that ifconfig eth0 shows no transmitted packets either [00:56] Dr_Willis_, i installed gparted, but its nowhere in my applications menu [00:56] kitche cuz i needed superuser privs and that what it told me to type when i typed dpkg -- help [00:56] donluigi, or use some other fdisking tool to delete/remake the partition. Or you proverly can just change its type.\ [00:57] donluigi, use 'sudo gparted' the shell is our friend [00:57] misc---> check your route table [00:57] thank you [00:57] kitche where do i find pastebin.ca? [00:57] misc---> having an ip address is not good enuff [00:57] johnathon: do sudo dpkg --i packagename.deb and it should install [00:57] Dr_Wllis ,Flares and all you other ops out there , you guys should look up to PriceChild and learn from him [00:57] johnathon: pastebin.ca is a website you can paste things to for others to see [00:57] can i make a program that would automate several commands in terminal - ie. change directory and run a program with set parameters? [00:57] bkar: it should be. I'm only trying to ping the gateway [00:57] !pastebin [00:57] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [00:57] * bastid_raZor laughs [00:58] misc---> it is not, as proven you can not ping eh? [00:58] Hi guys, I want to send the output of a command to an email, like "du /home/HardDriveSpace/ -h", what do I need to do this? [00:58] MeNos: we try [00:58] MeNos, Im not an op. :) and i havent noticed Pricechild doing anything today.. i just got here. [00:58] bkar: it's all on the same subnet (besides, adding a route doesn't help) [00:58] kitche it didnt install [00:58] * Dr_willis_ has been busy editing wiki pages lately [00:58] misc---> alright, do as you wish, cant argue with you [00:58] sure he has [00:59] johnathon: pastebin the error it outputs [00:59] i did [00:59] johnathon: well I need the link to it [00:59] Is this the correct way to get Apache -- "sudo apt-get install apache" ? [00:59] Dr_Willis_, i have yet another 140 gigs to backup on another hard drive in order to format to ext3, is there a way to do this without having to do the backup? [00:59] How does blkid work WRT removable media? Is it identifying a particular drive, or the data on it? Basically, in my fstab should I use UUIDs generated from blkid or /dev/disk/by-id links? [00:59] anyone? please? can i make a program that would automate several commands in terminal - ie. change directory and run a program with set parameters? [00:59] http://pastebin.ca/870359 [00:59] I want to install apache, mysql and php on ubuntu. [00:59] bkar: how is the gateway related when I'm only trying to ping a box on the same subnet? [01:00] greetings my brothers and sisters of africa [01:00] donluigi, ive not seen any way to convert ntfs to ext3. Its possible theres some way to do it.. but ive never seen or heard of anyond doing it. as for the backups - ask yourself.. can you risk losing the data? [01:00] !lamp > emma [01:01] What might have caused OpenOffice's button icons to disappear? [01:01] LogicalDash: you theme [01:01] donluigi, in theory you could resize the filesystem making a smaller ext3. move data to the new partition, then resize the ext3 taking up the rest of the ntfs.. but that is a nasty way to do it. [01:01] LogicalDash: or colors [01:01] your* [01:01] Flare183, yeah I changed my colors [01:01] Hi guys, I want to send the output of a command to an email, like "du /home/HardDriveSpace/ -h", what do I need to do this? [01:01] LogicalDash: that's the problem then [01:01] Dr_Willis_, i agree. what i intend on doing is just copy that info into the partition im about to format, and then format the other [01:02] kitche http://pastebin.ca/870359 [01:02] Flare183, what do I have to do to get the icons back? Any way to do it without changing the colors back? [01:02] solexious, a lot depends on which email client you want to use. Proberly easiest to just do a du /home/HardDriveSpace/ -h > spaceinfo.txt [01:02] tacosalad: You can do that with an alias and some chaining of commands. [01:02] LogicalDash: nope [01:02] then cut/paste/include the txt file [01:02] LogicalDash: not that i know of anyway [01:02] tacosalad: eg. alias lsupdir='cd .. && ls' [01:02] what's wrong with windows? [01:02] johnathon: sudo dpkg -i you forgot the dpkg part and only need one dash [01:03] arjuna: It stinks [01:03] arjuna: asking in wrong channel ;) [01:03] arjuna: and sucks [01:03] yeap [01:03] and offtopic :) [01:03] how does it stinks? [01:03] that too [01:03] haha wow [01:04] arjuna: join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:04] when the cost of the OS costs more then the cost of the PC.... i have issues. :P [01:04] I really do hate windows [01:04] kitche this is what was said [01:04] http://pastebin.ca/870364 [01:04] ok i have made a post in ubuntu forums [01:05] Flare183: Windows sucks and Microsoft's Monopolistic practises are extremelly unfair [01:05] agsimeonov: you got that right!! [01:05] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53261/ [01:05] johnathon: are you in the director where isapnptools_1.26-1_386.deb is downloaded? [01:05] death to king louieee [01:05] its on my desktop [01:05] kitche its ion my desktop [01:06] How can i install my ubuntu machine with a network install? I have a ubuntu machine up and running on the network. The computer that i want to install it on does not have a cdrom. [01:06] well it says it's not there [01:06] Is there a way to brush your teeth using your computer? [01:06] agsimeonov: that is sooo offtopic [01:06] agsimeonov, i belive i have seen USB powered Toothbrushes. [01:07] :) [01:07] Flare183: But it is quite an amusing thing. Wouldn't you like to know === _packetscan is now known as packetscan [01:07] Dr_willis: for real ? That is just amazing [01:07] agsimeonov: yeap [01:07] what the mess was that? [01:07] hi [01:07] kitche i'll brb [01:07] hi boys [01:07] johnathon: ok [01:08] creature: i'm confused, just as an example, say i want these to commands to happen; "cd stuff" "sudo windmill -x -y -z" [01:08] So what do USB powered toothbrushes do? And are there drivers for Linux? [01:09] what is windmill? [01:09] tacosalad: OK, let's say you wanted to make that a command called 'windmillcd'. You'd type the following into a terminal: alias windmillcd='cd stuff && sudo windmill -x -y -z' [01:09] Then, you can type 'windmillcd' and it will cd then sudo. [01:09] does anybody know if tracker indexes pdfs? [01:09] If you put this in your .bashrc, it'll persist across logins/shells. [01:09] creature: oohhh haha well thats easy enough [01:09] thanks a lot [01:09] No problem. [01:10] You may want to have a look at the bash manpage, it's got details of using && and the semicolon. You could also do "cd stuff; sudo windmill -x -y -z", which is subtly different. [01:11] did we just have a net split? [01:11] olskolirc: yeap === neuro|irssi is now known as neuro_ [01:12] hi to all i have an eeepc, with kubuntu gutsy hotkey fn f7/8/9 for volume not running have some idea? thank you [01:12] I don't want to be a server. I want to work with MySQL and PHP locally on my own computer so that I can learn about it. [01:13] So does that mean I still need to instal LAMP? [01:13] Or do I just have to install Apache, MySQL and PHP separately? [01:13] emmaaaaa you gay [01:13] you mother fucker [01:13] i will hack you alll [01:13] arma stop [01:14] ok [01:14] sorry bazhang [01:14] hi guys. newbie here [01:14] hi to all i have an eeepc, with kubuntu gutsy hotkey fn f7/8/9 for volume not running have some idea? thank you [01:14] hi dan [01:14] ?

[01:15] bazhang [01:15] unfortunately i'm in a situation where i have to take ubuntu off of a laptop and restore it. i didn't alter the "dell restore" partition. I now wish to restore it to its factory settings. [01:15] filo1234: they have an excellent wiki as well [01:15] thank you bazhang [01:15] i read now [01:15] yea..

[01:16] creature: hey on a semi-related note, is it possible to take the output from one command and use it in another command, like aircrack for instance, if i wanted to automate part of that, i could take the MAC of the point it gives and make it autoconnect to it and so on? [01:17] Dan_ultimate: which dvd is this? the ultimate dvd? [01:17] tacosalad: Yes, it is. You want a basic tutorial on bash scripting, really. [01:17] tacosalad: you can pipe commands to another command no clue what you want to do with aircrack though to really do it [01:17] Dan_ultimate: you should be running gnome already. do you see the desktop? [01:17] ubuntu gutsy livecd/dvd.. [01:17] yea.. buti want koffice in it.. [01:17] Should one use the format logical or primary for the ubuntu-ext3 partition? [01:18] Dan_ultimate: the cd or the dvd [01:18] like before i install.. i want to get to know how things work. [01:18] Dan_ultimate: then install it [01:18] so i like koffice.. [01:18] lol [01:18] Dan_ultimate: yeah, just install it. [01:18] i will eventually.. [01:18] kitche im back [01:18] Dan_ultimate: no, i mean install koffice [01:18] its the only thing i've really messed with so far, but i think if i could automate a WEP crack that would be challenging and hopefully familiarize myself with linux some more [01:18] anyways.. koffice is for kde desktop environment isn't it? === Dukan is now known as Dukan_Ismael [01:18] Dan_ultimate: yeap [01:18] Dan_ultimate: yeah, you can install gnome and kde at the same time. [01:18] i'll read up on the bash scripting, thanks [01:18] pewpewpew: you mean lvm? [01:18] johnathon: can you ls -l ~/Desktop and pastebin that for me [01:19] so can it run in gnome? [01:19] Dan_ultimate: sure [01:19] Dan_ultimate: yeah you can [01:19] i found it using the synaptic package manager.. [01:19] sorry but it did fix the flash bug but not the javas [01:19] but wusn't sure if it would work without kde installed.. [01:19] Dan_ultimate: do you _need_ koffice or could you use openoffice? [01:19] unfortunately i'm in a situation where i have to take ubuntu off of a laptop and restore it. i didn't alter the "dell restore" partition. I now wish to restore it to its factory settings. [01:19] i've installed sendmail in my ubuntu, but i dont want it to start in boot time...what can i do? [01:19] hmm.. open office is good.. but koffice has like kivio n sum other stuff.. [01:19] Dan_ultimate: what will happen is when you go to install koffice it'll automatically install everything it needs, even kde. [01:20] Dan_ultimate: it will install some kde stuff iirc [01:20] so kde gets installed if needed.. [01:20] r8? [01:20] kitche http://pastebin.ca/870380 [01:20] how do I record my ubuntu for youtube? [01:20] Dan_ultimate: the problem with running it off a livecd is that it will download and install a bunch of stuff... but if you reboot, you'll have to do it all again. [01:20] punkshui: the dell backup dvd or cd should be able to do that [01:20] what recorder do we use? [01:20] yea iknow.. [01:20] kitche i have downloaded that package and installed but it didnt fix the problem [01:21] i'm just askin this for the future.. [01:21] recordmydesktop olskolirc [01:21] i want to get everything ready now.. [01:21] Dan_ultimate: honestly, i'd just install it on your hdd. just partition off 4gb or so and install it. [01:21] thanks [01:21] hence i wont have to waste more time in future if i run into problems [01:21] does anyone know how to set apache to be able to access over the internet from outside of a LAN [01:21] johnathon: ok do this command exactly sudo dpkg -i isapnptools_1.26-1_i386.deb [01:21] wel.. glad to know iget good support here.. thnx guyz..

[01:56] great [01:56] i couldnt get 6.06 to work [01:56] great [01:56] biouser - yeah use dpkg -i [01:56] biouser - let me see if i can find the one i used on my lexmark... 2 sec [01:57] reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package? [01:57] What was the highest resolution by default on the Ubuntu 7.04 disc. [01:57] petriborg, that would be great...

[01:57] eh, I guess I could do that ... didn't really want to b/c my Internet connection sucks [01:57] unless when I did the apt get it put it in a temp directory [01:57] biouser - yeah you use alien to convert the rpm to a package and then you use dpkg -i to isntall them both, then start up the CUPS and setup your printer [01:58] I have no idea how to just reinstall the desktop .... can anyone tell me how? [01:58] 1280x1024?

[03:14] I installed aMSN and i try to login, but i have to install a TLS module and i doesn't worl. Any ideas? [03:14] lugnut64: ps lists all the running processes, and the | grep dpkg searches for any process named dpkg [03:14] mneptok: details, details :) Still comes down to what's on the drive, not the os [03:14] hey guys, one more question..

[03:25] mneptok: well i was interested in the look of gOS, but i found a guide on how to install it with gutsy [03:25] crwlr: sudo apt-get install enlightenment [03:25] lugnut64: it removed the flag that said another dpkg was in process. Somewhere you did a bad shutdown, probably when the updater was running in the background [03:25] oh... [03:26] mneptok: that geubuntu looks SHAWEET! [03:26] crwlr: go nuts :) [03:26] i understand [03:27] I wonder if gOS would offer any clues on the lappy I got my wife for christmas. everex stepnot nc1610; fan runs like crazy after boot, won't run at all after coming out of hibernation, dsdt fix for nc1503 does not work for the machine...anyway.

I installed Gutsy on my wife's laptop, and wireless was working flawlessly. I then proceeded to install Samba so she could share files between the laptop and her desktop, and now the wireless won't pick up a connection at all. Any idea how I can fix this?

[03:35] no [03:35] i used spss and stata on windows been searching the web for hour is there one for ubuntu [03:35] f-spot is not good imo JohnRobert [03:35] I am trying to update from the cd, nothing will happen [03:35] JohnRobert: then you understand how Linux allocates memory. [03:35] <_Andrew> I have had problems with f-spot.. It keeps messing up my photos [03:35] lugnut64: then get an internet connection [03:35] not really [03:35] but I have been using it a long time [03:35] danny: look into R, it's a free S [03:35] <_Andrew> .. and crashing [03:35] this really sucks, I wanted to give opengeu a shot but the torrent is down [03:36] JohnRobert: Unix-y OSes tend to hand apps as much RAM as they can possibly handle, and only steal it back when other apps need memeory. [03:36] tbh, some mono apps are alright [03:36] *memory [03:36] i did at one time and that problem still happened [03:36] mneptok: makes sense, no point in wasting memory [03:36] ola [03:36] JohnRobert: hence, Firefox can be using 663MB of memory, then you launch GIMP, and FX's usage drops substantially [03:36] ah, it's behaiving a bit better now I've restarted it [03:36] danny: I'm not meaning to be a smart aleck, but to tell you the truth the first two years I used linux the tool I used most, the resource I went to, was altavista (this was before google, mind) danny, I question whether you did: http://www.google.com/search?q=statistical+program+ubuntu [03:36] Okay, the problem was my own stupidity. Now, what is the best method to create a wireless network with a windows machine, via router? [03:36] http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=d8fe230d5bdee63fb5985ac4381909d4cf91d63b nickrud [03:36] the problem will happen internet or not [03:37] 'paging to the hdd a lot' would have been more clear [03:37] Does anyone know how to get Ark to use .part .rar archives, and to read passworded .rar files? I have 4 .part files and it won't unload them together, and i have a .rar with a password which Ark says it cannot read. [03:37] JohnRobert: be concerned when you have 2GB of memory, F-Spot open, and all your swap is in use ;) [03:37] I only have 768MB [03:37] thecrono: you may need to install unrar [03:37] i already did [03:37] and rar [03:37] now I've scrolled through some images, it's started again. [03:37] danny: http://www.r-project.org/ is the website and 'r-base' is the relevant package to install [03:37] single unpassworded .rar files open fine [03:37] i guess... a clean install is the only thing left, thanks for hte help though [03:37] Is there anything like fspot (and don't say picassa)? [03:37] wess [03:37] bazhang: thanks, another torrent on that site is bad I guess [03:37] hey guys [03:38] but parts/passworded ones do not [03:38] or gthumb [03:38] What's the channel for Gutsy? [03:38] alguien que me pueda enseñar a crackear wep?? [03:38] r00723r0: this one [03:38] does anyone know a good book that has many libraries and functions in it? (C language) I'm looking for a sort of collection of "man" pages [03:38] tengo casi todo solo me falta asesoria [03:38] jrib, then what's the new ubuntu version? [03:38] !hardy | r00723r0 [03:38] r00723r0: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [03:39] no worries nickrud :} [03:39] cripes, is that spanish, or portugues... [03:39] anyone know how to use audacity? [03:39] !pt | weslote [03:39] weslote: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:39] madman91: manpages-dev package will give you the manpages you want. If you actually want a book, you should ask in ##c [03:39] !es | weslote [03:39] weslote: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:39] (there, got them both) [03:39] jrib: ##c banned everyone [03:39] anyone know audacity? [03:39] I'm having an interesting problem with Totem. When I type "totem whatever.ogg" in terminal, everything works fine. But When I double-click on that same media file, totem opens and promptly crashes. [03:40] ok [03:40] it's a little unrelated, but it's a ubuntu app [03:40] help my browser wont start - keeps on crashing [03:40] madman91: I'm in ##c [03:40] bwahaha [03:40] weslote: questions about cracking tools are not welcome on any Ubuntu IRC channel [03:40] jrib: how odd? ... hm.. [03:40] heres the error msg : (gecko:7789): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Tahoma 9' [03:40] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [03:40] ToastGuy: A little bit. [03:40] jrib: can you ask an admin why I am banned? [03:40] oho, missed seeing that....meh [03:41] how do i change it to the original default font without starting firefox? [03:41] Munchkinguy: I just need to figure out how to increase the volume without clipping the audio [03:41] TallHunkDan: mv ~/.firefox ~/firefox-backup [03:41] Munchkinguy: maybe do some better balancing? [03:41] what does it do nickrud? [03:42] nickrud: you want ~/.mozilla ;) [03:42] TallHunkDan: that moves your current Firefox profile aside so you can create a new one from scratch at next launch [03:42] TallHunkDan: it moves your current firefox configuration to a backup , and mneptok is right, firefox exists under ~/.mozilla . So, mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup (me is batting badly tonight) [03:43] Munchkinguy: I think Equalization is the trick? [03:43] goodnight :) === Scunizi_ is now known as Scunizi [03:43] nickrud: i kinda have an unfair advantage ;) [03:43] fuck [03:43] mneptok: I'll just guess what you maintain :0 [03:43] CygnusX1: no thanks. and stop that. [03:43] stop CygnusX1 [03:43] sorry [03:43] testing snort filter [03:44] nickrud: /whois :) [03:44] Back to work I reckon [03:44] madman91: I asked the channel if an op was available. In the meantime, maybe some C coders in #ubuntu-offtopic can suggest some books for you [03:44] Ok guys when i load a YouTube video and then select full screen i have to make it bigger and then if i click anything else it dissappears.. [03:44] doh...have it set for port 80 only [03:44] it flaps back and then vanishes [03:44] thanks jrib [03:44] Hi, can anyone help with my Ubuntu install? [03:44] ToastGuy: You mean increase the volume past the limit? [03:44] !ask | madgoat [03:44] madgoat: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:45] list [03:45] thanks guys. i got it now back [03:45] Is a GeForce 8400gs PCIe compatible out of the box w/ Gutsy? [03:45] Munchkinguy: No.... I just have a large difference between what is really LOUD and what is lower volume. [03:45] I did a fresh install, when i try to login on the main screen, it tells my that my username or pass is incorrect, I have reinstalled 3 times now, any help? [03:45] Munchkinguy: But I think Equalization will work... [03:45] I need a more consistant volume [03:46] mneptok: I'd always figured an dist-upgrade needed an internet connection, nice to have 'official' confirmation :) [03:46] nickrud: i know it sounds crazy .... :) [03:46] madgoat: If you are trying to login as root, Ubuntu will not allow that. [03:46] ToastGuy: Yep. Or you can do it manually. [03:46] madgoat what was the user name you used? [03:47] Munchkinguy: Manually would take a long time? [03:47] It was the one that it had me create in the setup [03:47] TallHunkDan: you can copy over your bookmarks.html from the saved config to the new one, it'll go under ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default [03:47] ToastGuy: Yeah. [03:47] Munchkinguy: How? [03:47] Which was not root [03:47] Normalize is also helpful [03:48] Oh? [03:48] madgoat-> if you have forgotten the password, reboot to safe mode and see if you can change the password from there [03:48] MPlayer won't play files, it just loads and stops. Any ideas? This is in Firefox with all system updates. [03:48] k i have a really random question: on my site i have several icons at the bottom linking to various things, valid XHTML (link to validator) Valid CSS (ditto) Firefox (link to dl it) apache (link to their homepage) and a linux icon, but what should i link that to? what is the "home page" of linux [03:48] Manually, you can use the Envelope Tool [03:49] www.linux.com [03:49] hi there .. i am able to get high volume in debian compared to ubuntu .. is there something i need to check on my ubuntu gusty [03:49] How do I boot into safe mode? [03:49] Munchkinguy: ah... that seemed to work. [03:49] is it the weekend already? [03:50] Great! [03:50] Veovis: you might want to use the FSF instead of Linux [03:50] Munchkinguy: Normalize First, then increase the overall volume... [03:50] what is fsf [03:51] free software foundation [03:51] http://www.fsf.org [03:51] free software foundation [03:51] Munchkinguy: nahhh.... [03:51] errr.... [03:51] www.badvista.fsf.org [03:51] Veovis: i think they actually have web buttons and other branding to use [03:51] dipu I'm assuming you're talking about sound volume...? wouldn't know, you could try doing a google search for your sound hardware accompanied with 'ubuntu' [03:51] ToastGuy: Something gone wrong? [03:52] Munchkinguy: Well, it's just increasing some of the other parts too much... [03:52] It makes it fairly uniform [03:52] Is it the F8 key? [03:52] Veovis: http://www.fsf.org/associate/widget/ [03:52] So I'm clipping some of the louder parts [03:52] Then Equalise is what you want, [03:53] hey guys.. good night [03:53] every so often when I click on something I get random lines usually staring from the upper left hand corner of the monitor. Sometimes they will just be blocks placed in random spots. [03:53] I think I'll just have to individually select some of the quieter areas and increase the volume [03:53] yes regeya .. its the sound volume ..how do i know my sound hardware .. sorry i am not very good at this [03:53] Normalize just reduces everything but a certain percentage' [03:54] dipu: try running alsamixer and ensure nothing is muted [03:54] hard limiting is more effective then normalizing [03:54] have a good night ,i am going to have lunch [03:54] /lusers [03:54] err [03:54] somebody make my decision, plz...lol....geubuntu or elive? [03:55] ubuntu! [03:55] bazhang...HELP!!! [03:55] crwlr: i've actually played with Geubuntu, so i'd point you that way [03:55] ! ubuntu [03:55] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:55] !adobe [03:55] ok my friend and i are having the same problem, anyone feeling helpful?

[03:56] dipu: did that fix things? [03:56] !beos [03:56] mneptok: but i see stuff about elive so idk if i wanna use that. i've got geubuntu on the download...grrrr...decisions decisions...how i hate them [03:56] how do you install an adobe pdf viewer? [03:56] that's a good question [03:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about beos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:56] quittt: what about BeOS? other than "necrophilia is not attractive?" [03:56] whenever we reboot ubuntu (gutsy), our resolutions are not where we want them, i prefer 1920x1200, he uses 1280x1024, not that that matters [03:56] yes mneptok .. the PCM control was low (not muted) [03:56] madgoat are you on a root prompt now? [03:56] dipu: excellent :) [03:56] does anyone know what config it is to make sure that the title bar of an ssh session is correctly updated to user@domain? [03:57] mneptok, it is the best OS ever [03:57] crwlr: opengeu (not geubuntu) is more like the real ubuntu than elive, which is debian based [03:57] I'm waiting for Haiku now [03:57] hehe [03:57] quittt: "was" [03:57] i went into the GRUB menu and hit c for command line [03:57] mneptok ..whats the difference between master and PCM [03:57] anyone know of a 3d desktop for low 256 ram 1.2 ghz cpu, besides compiz?? [03:57] aight bazhang... [03:57] !who [03:57] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:57] dipu: "Master" controls all outputs, "PCM" is only that output [03:57] !who > madgoat [03:57] mneptok, did you use it? [03:57] ? [03:57] quittt: not since i left Gobe. [03:57] how do you install an adobe pdf viewer? [03:58] BeOS R5 stills usable, though [03:58] mnemo, oh, you worked on Gobe? [03:58] peanuts...can't recall any of them...u might me s.o.l. [03:58] quittt: i ran the support dept [03:58] profx: should be one on there already [03:58] ah [03:58] thanks [03:58] mneptok, great... but did you like the OS? [03:58] profx: you can always go thru the add/remove deal and find one. you'll see the one that should be on there when you do that [03:59] i just have an attachment, wants me to install it [03:59] kinda weird [03:59] quittt: in 1997? yes. today? no point. there are free alternatives that are far more feature complete [03:59] profx: i recommend saving it and then opening it from the saved file [03:59] cannot do that [03:59] like I said, weird [03:59] hrmmm... [03:59] quittt: but this is offtopic. we should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:59] 1997! [03:59] very much so... [03:59] its not a .pdf [04:00] its a Dell purchase [04:00] directing me to an adobe site, to install a pdf viewer [04:00] profx: i have no clue then, sorry bro [04:00] oh duh [04:00] !tab bkar still there? [04:00] is there a way for me to ftp a file to someone else's server? [04:00] didnt notice the attachment [04:01] madgoat yes am here [04:01] im in the console, what would I type to reset my password? [04:01] What is the protocol for re-asking questions if you don't get responses? 5 min. / 10 min? [04:01] I've mounted a servershare with rw permissions, and I'm able to write to it using sudo in a terminal, but not through nautilus, can i tell nautilus that I have write access? [04:01] jorje_villafan: about that, yes [04:02] Anyone know how to fix my Totem problem? Is there something I can type in Open With? Like "totem %h" or something? [04:02] jorje_villafan: rephrase it and send it when it scrolls off or after a while [04:02] madgoat: madgoat sudo passwd username? [04:02] !who > madgoat [04:02] thanks [04:02] Munchkinguy: might be %f not sure [04:03] so, i'm trying to upgrade a server across the internet somewhere [04:03] and i'm getting an error from apt [04:03] also my unbuntu was installed with buildix dunno if that matters [04:03] Reading package lists... Error! [04:03] E: Malformed 3rd word in the Status line [04:03] E: Error occurred while processing initramfs-tools (UsePackage2) [04:03] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status [04:03] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

[04:04] ok, sorry 'bout that flood. so, any idea how to recover the server to a usable state? [04:04] what is the !who you are sending? [04:04] I LIKE MEN [04:04] heh [04:04] rofltastic [04:05] saumaun: you strike me as someone that would be into men [04:05] ^ does anyone know where that comes from?

Removing that and reboot later, su still asks for password. Can anyone enlighten me ? :) [04:07] so if i clear that, and then reconfigure it, wil it patch the kernel? [04:07] bitwiseshiftleft: run dpkg --configure -a on the server, maybe that will process any pending triggers [04:07] !tab bkar ? [04:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about tab bkar ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:07] nickrud: any idea why i can see all of my networked computers from my laptop but not my desktop? [04:07] madgoat if you dont put a prefix to your responses towards me, I will miss it [04:07] crwlr: nope. I can't see squat from my laptop [04:08] nickrud: ok... running, hasn't bailed yet [04:08] crwlr: some kind of setting [04:08] QUESTION. Every so often when I click on something I get random lines usually staring from the upper left hand corner of the monitor. Sometimes they will just be blocks placed in random spots, or other goofy graphical behavior. [04:08] hi ganesh [04:08] toastguy: thx for the obvious :S [04:08] crwlr: are you accessing one wireless and the other one by cable? [04:08] lol [04:08] crwlr: got to start somewhere [04:09] toastguy: all wireless. router > wireless router [04:09] k [04:09] dsl router > wireless router [04:09] or just cox box...haha [04:10] !tab bkar i am in the console [04:10] crwlr: all your networking software up to date? [04:10] yes, toastguy [04:10] hmmmm [04:10] both laptop and desktop have ubuntu 7.10 [04:11] I know it's all obvious... but you want to get that out of the way [04:11] bkar: prefix like this? [04:11] well, i'm about to just reinstall both with a fresh install, toastguy [04:11] madgoat yes now i can see you [04:11] i doubt that it's something to do with it being a laptop as opposed to anything else. [04:11] bkar: ok I am in the console what would I type now? [04:11] hey guys.. i would like to know how could i use upstart to stop all webservices on my notebook as soon as i unplug it from power switch [04:11] crwlr: if you can afford to do that.... Go for it. [04:12] madgoat passwd [04:12] toastguy: you bet. got all my files backed up on my desktop on a seperate drive [04:12] bkar: maybe I am not in the right console, should i be in grub? [04:13] toastguy: and i am downloading opengeu for the desktop so it's gonna be just a clean install for the laptop [04:13] crwlr: I'm not best for advice speaking specifics [04:13] hey guys, I'm having a really puzzling problem with my apache server [04:13] madgoat not in grub, are you in a console? [04:13] I'm trying to host a directory directly [04:13] files and all [04:13] crwlr: I'm relatively new to ubuntu [04:14] toastguy: you will get the hang of it. i've been using it for about a year and i love it over winblows, so enjoy it! [04:14] so I've got the default /default-apache directory and the index.html with "it works!" in it [04:14] I remove the index.html but nothing changes on the site! [04:14] bkar: i booted holding f8 for safe mode, then hit c for console and brings me to a grub command prompt [04:14] crwlr: Well, I simply need to understand more about ubuntu... [04:14] toastguy: if you enjoy ubuntu, then check out opengeu, it's a nice enlightenment version [04:15] Opengeu? [04:15] crwlr: ok [04:15] toastguy: only problems i have with ubuntu...nothing except twinview LOL [04:15] You have caught my attention. [04:15] Say more.

I enjoy. [04:16] Enlightmentment makes me happy. [04:16] Fast. Pretty. [04:16] heygabe: that's weak! [04:16] I'm not trying to be a computer guru nor am I pretending to be. I have to run live CD because I can't get my wireless going right now. And I don't want to either. I'm tired. And all I want to do is download some stuff before I go to bed. I don't want to do anything else besides that, so other advice is completely, %100 uneccessary and redundant. Can anyone tell me the command to mount my HD so I can write to it? Thanks. [04:16] enlightenment 16's sliding windows seduced me to linux [04:16] friggen google os! [04:16] scguy318: For some reason, it won't accept %f [04:16] bkar: is that the proper way to enter safe mode? [04:16] GreenOs, crwler. [04:16] Not Google. Green. [04:16] erm, backgrounds [04:17] GOOGLEOS! HAHA! That's what they call it in the forums. Burned me a cd, but it wont boot for me, so I am just getting the straight up OpenGEU [04:17] i've downloaded a moive but the 'down them all" extension of iceweasel failed to join the 130+ chunks, how can they be joined manully? [04:17] madgoat yes, from a reboot [04:17] bkar: im in console now for sure, i typed paswd [04:17] bkar: passwd ** [04:17] victor__: piracy...naughty naughty! HAHA [04:17] anybody [04:17] I likes it. Fancy. Have to make wireless go via cli, however. [04:18] bitwiseshiftleft: how's your server doing? [04:18] ok, i've gotten past the previous error, now running into [04:18] madgoat you can change the password of the user like so passwd username1 [04:18] Couldn't configure pre-depend python-central for python-apt, probably a dependency cycle. [04:18] thanks for asking :-) [04:18] bueler...bueler?

[04:22] Any recommendations for backup software to use with an external hard drive? [04:23] hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu. i've used a few linux distros before for very brief periods. i remember downloading, compiling and installing apps got very messy for me. what's the cleanest way to download, and install apache? [04:23] i'd rather not have source code lingering around once it's installed. === thunderbol1 is now known as thunderbolt [04:23] thunderbol1: sudo tar cvf /path/to/drive/full-date.tar / [04:23] Sup guys its Darkmystere =) [04:23] in irrsi i loves it already [04:23] @rycole: its very simple [04:23] ObNockShus, #winehq has a lot of experts in wine [04:24] bitwiseshiftleft: you could try reinstalling ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard , might pull some of those in [04:24] rycole: you don't need to get the source, compile it and all that [04:24] Do you have ubuntu installed at the moment? [04:24] son9524: used it a few times long ago, didn't like it too well. [04:24] anyone using apache behind a router? [04:24] yes, i'm ssh'd into ubuntu [04:24] rycole, you can use tomcat, as good as apache me thinks [04:24] rycole: sudo apt-get install apache2 [04:24] ty soldats. I'll try there. [04:24] ah, and that'll get it and install it, without leaving a bunch of source code? :P [04:24] rycole: yes. [04:25] ObNockShus, but you still may ask your question here. someone may be able to help but if it pertains to games winehq is your best bet [04:25] i've downloaded a moive but the 'down them all" extension of iceweasel failed to join the 130+ chunks, how can they be joined manully? [04:25] rycole: yes, it's just the binaries and config and support files, no source or stray object files [04:25] nickrud: no dice. is there a way to uninstall everything but a minimal core, then reinstall? [04:25] Well Ally ou really have to do is use the tab feature in terminal to join multible channels and servers without much worrie [04:25] or install ubuntu in a chroot, and then pivot root? [04:25] ok, awesome. [04:26] bitwiseshiftleft: not simply, and pivot root could work. I haven't done that since linux from scratch so my rust would be several inches thick [04:26] What where your Problems chryss [04:26] nickrud: ok, well, thanks for the help [04:27] hey can anyone help me with a nvidia driver problem? === DFlame is now known as DF[Sleeps] [04:27] bitwiseshiftleft: you would be wise to look into debootstrap , it's designed for installing onto an existing machine === DF[Sleeps] is now known as DFlame[Sleeps] [04:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=676596 can somebody read this and suggest what I can do about it?

[04:31] anyone know why someone else wouldn't be able to view my server (thats behind my router)? I checked my WAN ip from my router config, i set up port forwarding for ports 80 and 443, when i point my browser to my WAN ip i get my homepage, but when i had a friend try they get nothing [04:31] wutz: you may have to edit your xorg.conf and tell it which driver to use, then use system>admin>screens and change the display settings [04:31] !sound | nethbar [04:31] nethbar: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[04:31] crwlr: it is set to use nvidia [04:31] ubuntu installed fine though =x [04:31] wutz: so you have that driver installed? [04:31] yes [04:31] through restricted driver manager [04:32] it worked before [04:32] but not after that [04:32] ubotu: It's running the mixer, I'll check the links. Thanks!

Some things such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The Settings Daemon restarted too many times. GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in." If I click on Close (the only option) then most t [04:32] hings appear to work, until I click on the icon to log out / change users, then it freezes up for about a minute or two (but the mouse still works) and eventually the box comes up. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix the problem or find out what's causing it? [04:32] wutz: you should install the sysinfo and mess with the nvidia settings in there. what card are you using? [04:32] geforce 8600 gt [04:33] wutz: am just using the restricted drivers on my 6600 [04:33] crwlr: What where your problems with this thing... i am using tabs instead of messingf with commands to be in multible channels and servers >.> [04:34] with what things? [04:34] pajamian: it sounds like you're have trouble with compiz. Dunno what else beyond that [04:34] crwlr: restricted driver manager would normally work [04:34] i dont have any problems.... [04:34] wutz: may need to just do a fresh install...that's what i'd do...cause i have nothing better to do...HAHAHA [04:35] nethbar: ok, I'll try reinstalling Compiz, then and see what happens for starters ...

[04:37] okay thanks for your help [04:37] 30 mins till opengeu finishes the download [04:37] :) sorry i counldn't help u more, wutz [04:37] quick question [04:37] yah [04:37] wha tis opengeu [04:37] what is* [04:38] ohh right now i remember [04:38] its geubuntu [04:38] wutz: yeah [04:38] kk thanks [04:38] the download site is slow tonight tho [04:39] you think 500mb is enough for swap with 4gb ram? === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC === sithree is now known as SithRee [04:40] pteague: not if you plan to suspend [04:40] ok here's what I thought would be a simple question - I tried to use the 'at' command and got a message "Cannot give away file: Operation not permitted". Poked around the forum and found a claim that it is a Ubuntu bug. Anybody know anything about it? [04:41] anyone know of a free proxy that i can test my server with from an outside ip [04:41] hey guys [04:41] DoubleDew: tor? [04:41] sudo asks for your root password, or user account password? [04:41] I just installed apache2, and the changes I'm making to the default index.html aren't being reflected on localhost [04:41] it keeps saying "it works!" [04:42] any ideas? [04:42] bitwiseshiftleft: see if it can be accessed outside my router [04:42] rycole-> user password [04:42] evening nickrud [04:42] Or - any known alternative to the 'at' command for scheduling an action? [04:42] DoubleDew: there's a free network of proxies called tor... usefufl for anonymous browsing [04:42] ok, reinstalled compiz and a bunch of other compiz related stuff and still getting the same errors. :-( [04:43] pajamian: What video card? [04:43] what is a good svn client? [04:43] not sure, let me run lspci and check, it's an onboard chipset... [04:43] ugh, 'sudo apt-get install apache2' produces no output, so i'm thinking it's not installing anything. :p [04:44] apt-get install svn doesnt work [04:44] ouch...onboard...hate those [04:44] according to lspci it's an S3 VT8375 [04:44] i dont want to download anything [04:44] doesn't work at the moment, or it no longer works? [04:44] Jack_Sparrow: evening [04:45] anyone willing to browse to my ip and see if they see my server page? [04:45] pajamian: Someone will know... but you may end up leaving effects off [04:45] sure, doubledew [04:45] I don't think I turned them on in the first place. [04:45] * pajamian checks ...

[04:46] how to solve the grub problem when i make a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd [04:47] where do I check to see if the effects are turned on again? Having a bit of trouble finding it... [04:47] jack_sparrow: sorry & thanks [04:47] tritium: what up ol boy?! [04:47] ganesh: You just copied over the cd, you didnt run it and install it? [04:47] doubledew: nothing yet...still searching [04:47] Hey, is posting forum links in here against the rules? [The issue is too long to type without spamming] [04:47] [i mean, spamming IRC] [04:47] negative, zorlin [04:47] crwlr: not much. You? [04:47] crwlr: Thanks. [04:47] just dont go crazy with them, zorlin [04:47] system pref apearance effects tab [04:47] Zorlin: no, you're good. Thanks for asking. [04:48] I have an issue with partitioning + booting Vista, the thread is at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4195216 [04:48] nm, found it, and effects are turned off already. [04:48] tritium: checking out opengeu...still downloading right now. their site is SHLOOOOWWWW! [04:48] Pretty simple issue, but I imagine a fix might be complex =( [04:48] tritium: Your welcome. And thanks :) [04:48] crwlr: remind me what we were working on last night. Was it nvidia twinview? [04:48] Zorlin: Please tell us the nature of the problem and if the link is pertainent.. then post it [04:48] ok, here is a question, why does my router say my WAN ip is one thing while www.mywanip.com says it is something else? and which is correct? [04:49] crwlr: I'm not familiar with opengeu. [04:49] Jack_Sparrow: Does "I have an issue with partitioning + booting Vista, the thread is at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4195216" cover it? [04:49] and www.mywanip.com changes [04:49] tritium: yes, but i gave up on it. spent 5 hours trying to figure it out. opengeu...google it would ya lol.. hard to explain [04:49] And yes, the link has the information on the problem. [04:49] crwlr: did you read Chap. 13 of /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-new/README.txt.gz ? [04:50] tritium: yes and i tried it with no luck. think it's my lcd...it's a gem and i haven't seen anybody post about it [04:50] crwlr: ah, sorry. [04:50] DoubleDew-> what do you think is your wan ip address? [04:51] tritium: opengeu is google-able by googleing geubuntu [04:51] Zorlin: gparted livecd [04:51] the one my router displays [04:52] Jack_Sparrow: Unfortunately, no blank CD's lying around. I do have blank DVDs, but cannot burn them without a bit of work [hooking up my external dvd burner is hard, gotta free up a powerpoint =(] [04:52] crwlr: ah, I see [04:52] sudo isn't asking for my password anymore, and it's also not executing apt-get... [04:52] tritium: yes, very nice, eh? [04:52] Jack_Sparrow: Do you think the gparted livecd would manage it? I have the ISO already. [04:52] Zorlin: It should handle it just fine [04:52] crwlr: well, it's not my cup of tea, but if it suits you, then great. [04:52] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the help, I'll try n get back to you [04:52] bkar: i assume the WAN ip my router displays is more reliable than that of a website? === Zorlin is now known as Zorlin||busy [04:53] Zorlin: I use a version about 4 back from the current release.. but try what you have there [04:53] !away > Zorlin||busy [04:53] DoubleDew-> what do you think is your wan ip address? please tell me [04:53] join #vbox [04:53] tritium: you bet. not really much else going on this end. just got a tv tuner and haven't started to install it yet. gonna try later on [04:53] 10.3.4.114 [04:53] crwlr: excellent. === Zorlin||busy is now known as Zorlin [04:54] Thanks flannel. [04:54] bkar: correct? [04:55] I'm trying to install asterisk on ubuntu 7.10 but couldn't install cvs [04:55] alright! 9 minutes left on the download. tritium, im going for a smoke and then i will be back in. [04:55] okay, crwlr [04:55] rycole: That isnt a good thing. WHat was recently installed [04:56] ongnon: you couldn't install the cvs ubuntu package, or asterisk from cvs? [04:56] I think it's waiting for something to timeout when I click the log off icon while running top nothing jumps to the top and starts hogging CPU or RAM. [04:56] DoubleDew-> wrong, if you did not know yet, 10.x.x.x range (not all) are not routable.. [04:56] i have read how to add repositiory in the docs but it doens't help much [04:56] i'm following a asterisk guru guide and it said i have to install cvs package [04:56] bkar: how do i find my ip so that i can access my server from the internet? [04:56] ongnon: you should just install the ubuntu asterisk packages [04:57] apt-get install asterisk ? [04:57] pajamian: What all did you install or try , and what were you trying to fix or do in the beginning [04:57] bkar, all of 10.x.x.x are routable, just not outside of a private network [04:57] DoubleDew-> exactly these are the range 10.1.1.1 - 10.255.255.254 ..yes non-routable in the internet for clarity [04:57] ongnon: yes, use sudo [04:57] !info asterisk | ongnon [04:58] ongnon: asterisk (source: asterisk): Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.4.10~dfsg-1 (gutsy), package size 2033 kB, installed size 5264 kB [04:58] quick question: i am going to order a e8400 or a q6600. will ubuntu make use of all 4 cores or be better with a higher clocked dual core? [04:58] bkar, you forgot 10.0.x.x ? [04:58] ugh, sudo isn't executing apt-get, is there a catch? lol. [04:58] yup but there are some dependencies [04:58] ongnon: naturally [04:58] it doesn't appear to be doing anything. [04:58] asterisk: Depends: libct3 (>= 0.63-1) but it is not installable [04:58] Depends: libgsm1 (>= 1.0.10) but it is not installable [04:58] Depends: libpq5 but it is not installable [04:58] Depends: libsqlite0 (>= 2.8.17) but it is not installable [04:58] Depends: unixodbc (>= 2.2.11-1) but it is not installable [04:58] E: Broken packages [04:58] rycole: That isnt a good thing. WHat was recently installed, anything from outside the official repos? [04:58] ongnon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:59] jack: nope [04:59] unop umm those i believe are routable [04:59] i cant remember..heh [04:59] Does ftp or pftp take username as a parameter? I can't find it mentioned in man. [04:59] Package libct3 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [04:59] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [04:59] is only available from another source [04:59] oops [04:59] got to go to lunch :) i'll be back later [04:59] bkar, nope -- all of 10.0.0.0/8 is private and routable [04:59] rycole: Have you been running gui programs as root, is this a real install or some virtual or wubi version [05:00] bah, got disconnected ... [05:00] unop okay [05:00] bkar: websites will tell me my external ip is 75.1.30.2... [05:00] ongnon: it's in the repos. Refresh your package listing [05:00] Jack_Sparrow: In answer to your question: ok, well I installed gutsy from the alternate install CD (I just like that better, the install seems to run faster) ... and then I ran the updates and then I removed evolution and installed thunderbird and ubuntu restricted extra from synaptic in one shot and decided at that point I'd best reboot and see how it was going and the problem started occuring when it came back up then. [05:00] DoubleDew-> i agree with that one [05:00] im back [05:01] any word on when flash plugin will be available? i just did a fresh install of gutsy [05:01] gary_innyc: should be one with firefox [05:01] pajamian: No reason at all for that system to be acting up at that point [05:01] Gary_inNYC, you can always manually install it [05:01] there is a thread in the forums with an updated package [05:01] gary_innyc: just go to "get addons" in the tools menu and go to extensions [05:02] i have a package (libgtk2.0-0) which i installed from the wiki page about "global menu bar" but now i can't remove it! when i try to "force version" in synaptic, it waits a while, adn then changes the version back to the hacked one [05:02] ok here is a question....will MAC filtering affect my issue? [05:02] Hello! Does anyone know a way to install 32 bit apps on a 64 bit distro? [05:02] pajamian: Sorry but did you make any changes to the repos before you updated. [05:02] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but it is, heh ... Next on my list was going to be installing flash (from the tarball since the synaptic installer doesn't work right now), and a few other bits. [05:02] plugins i mean, gary_innyc [05:03] Jack_Sparrow: only to uncheck the CD so it would go to the net for everything. [05:03] pajamian: I would not continue.. I would reinstall the live cd [05:03] alternate [05:03] ok, I'll try again, and not install so much at once after the update, heh. [05:03] DoubleDew-> whats this mac filtering about? if you dont know your ip address, you're getting yourself into advance topic? [05:04] pajamian: just those two things didnt cause that problem [05:04] sorry [05:04] i asked this question a little while ago [05:04] but i didnt see the answer (if one was posted) [05:04] what is a good svn client? [05:04] then I'm at a loss, I just replaced both the RAM and HDD in this box too, so it's starting to look like a bad mobo which I really don't want to have to face at this time, I've sunk enough money into this already :-( [05:05] that will allow me to use a cli interface [05:05] keram: svn [05:05] apt-get install svn // no package 'svn' found [05:05] marking time... re-installing ubuntu 7.10 on virtual box [05:05] keram: the package name is 'subversion' [05:05] oh [05:05] that makes sense [05:05] thanks [05:05] Hey, how do I give my self perms in a root folder like /var/www ? [05:06] Nasarias-> hey have you even try to read about linux permissions? [05:06] !chmod [05:06] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [05:06] my only other possibility that I can think of is maybe one of the updated packages was corrupt or installed corrupt, but I guess if that were the case it wouldn't pass the checksum. [05:07] Ah, roger bkar, thanks [05:07] bkar: right now i have my router to MAC filter....so no computers but the ones with specific MAC addresses i designated can access my network [05:07] bkar: but will this affect someone trying to access my server via my router's external IP [05:08] DoubleDew-> you better understand that filtering concept, understand from which side are you filtering or both [05:08] how to solve the grub problem when i make a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd [05:08] jack_sparrow: sorry, was looking at things. no, it's purely through ssh. [05:08] i don't have any xwindows things installed. [05:08] bkar: that is my question...I assume its only a filter for those trying to access my internal network [05:08] ganesh: You just copied over the cd, you didnt run it and install it? [05:09] DoubleDew-> am kind of hard on you, i just want you to realize what you are doing, ill guide you though if you are really stuck [05:09] yeah. I knew there'd be a ton of peeps here [05:09] Jack_Sparrow: I might be a bit longer to check if it works... I copied the wrong ISO and just realised I don't have it. Downloading it now @ 154KB/s =\ [05:09] how's it goin room [05:09] DoubleDew-> mac addresses are at data link layer, [05:09] I have a pretty simple grub question [05:09] Zorlin: I need to get to bed.. hope it works out.. [05:09] any takers? [05:10] qubits: just ask [05:10] Qubits: Whats the question? I might be able to help. I'm a half-noob. [05:10] :P [05:11] bkar: i realize my knowledge of the OSI model and the internet protocol suite is a bit lax, but that is a future topic for me after getting this web server set up [05:11] Qubits: What is your question? I'll try my best =p [05:11] well I need grub to jump to the bootloader on hd1,0 [05:11] Hello, any good documentation that explains /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow ? [05:11] What OS are you trying to boot o.o [05:11] it used to be a windows mbr but its changed to a raw fbsd loader [05:11] Is it possible to make ftp look for .netrc somewhere else than the home directory? [05:12] windows [05:12] but i dont think its a windows mbr anymore [05:12] test [05:12] DoubleDew-> get away from filtering then, dont need that to get a webser working [05:12] its boot0cfg [05:12] which then can load windows [05:12] Qubits: Windows MBR loads the windows bootloader. :P [05:12] or fbsd [05:12] GRUB does the same with an entry. Hang on, pm me [05:12] Zorlin that drive can still bot windows i've seen it [05:12] any ideas where to get flex++ parser for ubuntu without compiling the stuff of course :) ? [05:12] I got problems with grub not booting correct partition [05:12] !password [05:12] Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [05:12] I have a quick permission question, I have a credintials file for mount a smb share, what I chmod the cred file to? [05:12] Qubits: I know :P [05:12] bkar: i am filtering (with router) just to further protect my home wireless network [05:12] boot0cfg jumps to it [05:12] DoubleDew-> get away from filtering then, dont need that to get a webserver* working [05:12] hold on [05:13] !sudo [05:13] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:13] * syc_ pamid [05:13] DoubleDew-> important things first, get it working === genii_ is now known as genii [05:13] * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [05:13] albert_kam: sudo is a command to run a program or function as root [05:13] bkar: correct, but it should be of no consequence [05:14] DoubleDew-> filtering, firewalling blocks things and prevent you from getting things to work [05:14] Qubits: /msg me so I can paste my entry to you [05:14] Qubits: I'm on a dual-boot setup, probably just like you, so I can give you my entry and you just edit which partition it boots [05:15] I need help editing grub boot partition from he live CD please for ubuntu 64bit please [05:15] nickrud: so i tried debootstrap... rebooting now... i bet it doesn't come back up, but it was a valiant try [05:15] crwlr: Thank you. Actually i'm more interested with the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, because i'm trying to troubleshoot one of my friend's problem as she's forgotten her root password. I tried booting from cd, mounting the /etc, try to remove the encrypted thing in /etc/password, so that it results with root::.......... , but still, after reboot, su still asks for password [05:15] bitwiseshiftleft: I'm crossing my fingers === madsy_ is now known as Madsy [05:16] hmmm....interesting, albert_kam [05:16] bkar: but isn't the point of port forwarding to override the firewall, and also, i have not mentioned, but i did put my server as a computer in the DMZ on my router settings [05:16] crwlr: I know there are other ways, but i'm more intrigued with this approach :) Hence, i'm seeking information about the /etc/passwd and /etc/passwd .. [05:17] DoubleDew-> well first thing first, is your webserver working? [05:17] albert_kam: after you've replaced the encrypted thing in /etc/shadow, boot into recovery mode and set a root password there [05:18] yes...i can open a browser and navigate to the internal 192.168.0.102 and it works....i can also use the 10.3.4.114 ip that my router gives as the WAN ip and it works (for me from within my network) [05:18] where do I go to learn the basics (commands etc) of linux? I have the apt-get part down sort of. I need to learn the command structure and how to compile. [05:19] ObNockShus: tldp.org has some good handbooks on commands and bash. [05:19] nickrud: Hi, i tried that, but it still asks for password. The strange thing when i'm removing the encrypted string in /etc/shadow is that it only contains one 'x' char, it was like root:x:........ And in the examples that i googled, it isnt just x, it's something like root:asfdasdXasf: :) [05:19] ty nickrud [05:19] my wifi radar is saying that the network i want to use is at 45% but i quickly lose connection [05:20] nickrud: not coming back up. oh well [05:20] anyway, that's enough for me tonight [05:20] gnight all [05:20] DoubleDew-> umm. okay, we already establish 10.x.x.x is not routable on the internet right? [05:20] albert_kam: yes, the odd stuff is the hashed password. I've replaced that with * and been able to get right into the recovery console [05:20] wow...now i gotta copy opengeu from my laptop to my desktop...and that's taking forever... [05:20] albert_kam: Is this Ubuntu? and does your friend ever remember setting a password for root? [05:20] nickrud: So, here's the step that i did. I boot from cd, mount my partition, vi the mounted /etc/shadow, removing the 'x' char, !wq, reboot, boot from harddisk, su still asks for password. [05:20] bkar: yes, im am just saying exactly what has worked for me so far [05:20] nickrud: thank you !! [05:21] DoubleDew-> the big question, can please elaborate on how is your network laidout? firewalls if any? managed switches? [05:21] Flannel: Yes, she's set her password, but unfortunately she forgot about it. But i think i got the solution at hand. Thank you Flannel :) [05:22] can anyone help me with my wifi or connecting to a network that shows 45% [05:22] cable internet service, going to a wireless router, the server pc is seperate from the one i work on (i.e. i ssh into the server to make changes) [05:22] albert_kam: can always set it to a known hash if that fails. [05:22] just installed xampp 1.6.5a on xubuntu 7.10 and allis well untill i go to phpmyadmin from the page at localhost i get this error [05:22] how do you get rid of the GRUB Loader from your bios [05:22] #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) [05:22] albert_kam: another nice trick is adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel boot line [05:22] Can someone help with fixing grub? please [05:23] pajamian: hmm, i wanna ask more about this hash thing, but i'm going to rtfm first .. any doc about this hash thing ? :D [05:23] where is chat chan pls? [05:23] nickrud: Yes, i read about that too, about the mount -n -o remount,rw thing :) [05:23] Hi there; I just switched amarok to use mysql instead of sqlite (hooray for faster amarok), and now none of my sound apps work. I've made sure it's using the right default sound interface (alsa on my sblive) and volume is up and not muted.. any ideas? [05:23] gstreamer, mplayer, amarok, all no sound [05:23] DoubleDew-> this webserver is connected how through this router? any switches or firewall in between? [05:23] bkar: nope [05:24] DoubleDew-> this webserver is connected how through this router? [05:24] bkar: hardwired ethernet into the router [05:24] wifi card in ubuntu isnt very good [05:24] what card do you have? [05:24] DoubleDew-> you mentioned DMZ..is the webserver in the DMz? [05:24] Relatively specific question here: I've got an Inspiron 1520 laptop, and I'm looking to use one of the dell DVDs to install ubuntu 7.10. There is no i1520 dvd, but some people have seen some success in enabling wifi, webcam, etc with one of the others. Should I use the i1420 dvd, or the i530n dvd? [05:24] bkar: yes [05:24] how to solve the grub problem when i make a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd [05:24] wj32: how can i find that out [05:24] lpsd? [05:24] not that I know of, but you can generate a hash on another box easily with a command like this: perl -le 'print crypt(q{$1$xxxxxx$}, "mypass");' [05:25] Hey, since I put a freebsd bootloader on my windows mbr chainloader standard entried for windows dont work [05:25] i don't know... [05:25] the drive that has the freebsd bootloader knows where the windows bootloader is [05:25] that's untested, but ... [05:25] so its still there, what kind of entry can i give grub to boot the windows partition directly [05:25] DoubleDew-> can your webserver reach the internet? ping? browse, etc.. [05:25] but the entry to jump to hd(1,0) where windows is located doesn't load, just stays there no error [05:25] hrmmmm, doesn't work like I thought, heh [05:25] anyone know why my sound would just stop working in all apps when amarok skipped to the next track? [05:25] ;) [05:25] bkar: yes it can [05:25] i could probably afford running a windows cd repair on the bootloader since i actually use another drive to boot [05:25] or can give me a starting point for troubleshooting? [05:26] i need those two drives in there because windows was installed to D: [05:26] C: has grub [05:26] DoubleDew-> go ahead and do the port forwarding and NAT'ing on your router so it can pass back and forth the traffice from the webserver [05:26] Qubits: Super GRUB Disk, http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download [05:26] bkar: NATing? [05:26] whats it do [05:26] free, ~5MB... [05:26] its a GRUB troubleshooting/fixing tool [05:26] ahhh, I got it backwards, it's: perl -le 'print crypt("mypass", q{$1$xxxxx$});' [05:26] pajamian: heh. I could never get a hash, forgot about init=/bin/sh (stupid eh?) and in an inspired bit of luck tried the * since it's supposed to lock out the password, and recovery is supposed to work with a locked password. [05:27] especially useful in dual-boot scenarios. Not sure, but it might have an option to do what you're trying to do [05:27] that will return an encrypted form for "mypass" [05:27] DoubleDew-> it may be done automatically by your router, but you forgot what I said about non-routable ip address on the internet? [05:27] quinn: based on model numbers I'd guess i530n is a better bet, but I dont know personally, but maybe you can check through sales websites which one matches yours closer? [05:27] bkar: port forward is already set up as per a tutorial i have read.... forward both ports 80/443 to 80/443 [05:27] US primary mirrors going really slo for anyone else? [05:27] nickrud: well, here ya go, the password hash for "mypass": $1$xxxxx$fUYW2Kr.sorUtPYD6LGMz0 [05:27] you can always plug that in and just use mypass [05:28] DoubleDew-> okay, lets test your web server, let me hit it [05:28] * nickrud squirrels it way for a non-ubuntu install some day [05:28] then of course change it to something better once you manage to log in. [05:28] pajamian: I'd never have tried perl, I have an aversion to languages that uses punctuation as verbs [05:29] asm ftw [05:29] hehehe, I'm a programmer and specialize in perl, so it's the language I picked, plus it has a command line interface that lets you do cool little things like that. [05:29] bkar: 75.1.30.2 is the IP i get from web sites [05:29] the only thing I found harder to read was forth [05:29] Hi there, is there a special process that needs to be running and visible with sudo ps aux for alsa sound to work correctly? [05:29] when i install a dependency for asterisk: E: Package libct3 has no installation candidate , what should I do? [05:30] DoubleDew-> your ap/router is refusing [05:30] pajamian: how do you generate $1$xxxxx$fUYW2Kr.sorUtPYD6LGMz0 ? [05:30] pajamian: if you want a write once read never language, there's your candidate :) [05:31] I gave you the commadn earlier: perl -le 'print crypt("mypass", q{$1$xxxxx$});' [05:31] are there apache settings to allow for external connections? im guessing this is transparent to apache if port forwarding works properly [05:31] you can plug somethign else into that command for the salt and the password if you want. [05:31] pajamian: sorry, lines scrolls so quickly >.< .. thanks for the script, he he .. [05:31] np [05:32] how to solve the grub problem when i make a partition & copied the filesystem from live cd [05:33] nickrud: perl is one of those languages taht looks ghastly at first glance but when you get used to it you don't ever want to leave it. [05:33] Can nobody give me even a starting place to start troubleshooting sound? [05:33] !sound [05:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:33] yep yep [05:34] pajamian: I keep hearing that. My career path has luckily (or not, sometimes I do miss it) I don't program much anymore [05:34] anyone help with a problem with xampp? [05:34] give me a moment to ensure my problem is not listed there, I'm fairly certain it probably isn't [05:34] ginge2k8: Suggest you use a proper LAMP stack instead [05:34] I need help fixing my partition... tried to format it from ntfs to ext3, but i messed it up [05:35] hehehe, perl was the original P in LAMP [05:35] flannel im a noob so i thought it would be the easiest option [05:35] DoubleDew: Still having that issue trying to get your Apache running? [05:36] Linuxishawt: my apache is running, just cant figure out how to access it outside my LAN [05:36] ginge2k8: Well, XAMPP isn't supported here, but LAMP is real easy to setup, just a few simple commands (hooray for package management): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP will get you all up and running [05:36] ginge2k8: and we support that here too. [05:36] Hey , where the hell i change my current nickname? [05:36] in xchat [05:36] ok back to square one then !

[05:40] DoubleDew, The ports.conf file tells apache what ports to listen on, and apache2.conf is where you can configure which site to listen on which port and address. [05:40] Madsy-> i suggest you write a lil script [05:40] I know the standard ftp client supports it, via the .netrc file macros [05:40] DoubleDew-> sometimes its listen.conf file where you set them [05:40] DoubleDew: Also when you connec to your WAN IP and you can see it, that just means that your router is working, chances are your ISP is blocking port 80 [05:41] Madsy-> .netrc are only for storing your password and userid, if i recall [05:41] bkar: Hm? [05:41] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu. I am getting random lines on the screen starting from the top left corner when I click on or drag windows around. I also get solid boxes sometimes. any help would be great [05:41] Madsy-> what is Hm? [05:42] bkar: I didn't quite get what you mean with "a lil script".

[05:44] yeah.. didn't think so [05:44] so long and thanks for all the fish [05:44] DoubleDew: some ISP's will block 80 until you "Upgrage" to a business acount [05:44] bkar: It doesn't seem to work. Say, "user" or "nlist" are treated as commands on the local side. They are not sent to stdin [05:45] * nickrud is always impressed with people who expect answers in 2 minutes [05:45] Madsy-> this is not the channel for wirting scripts..please visit #bash [05:45] hi folks, how do I set a cron job to run every one hour in crontab ? [05:45] Linuxishawt: so even if i forward the public port 80 to private port 82 im still out of luck? [05:45] I am kinda confused [05:45] Linuxishawt: if in fact my ISP is blocking 80 [05:45] DoubleDew: Not sure, my ISP has all ports open for me, so I haven't tested [05:46] DoubleDew: if they are blocking we can test [05:46] DoubleDew, yes but I dont think your having issues with your ISP is blocking your port. [05:46] DoubleDew-> you have the telnet port open [05:46] bkar: why would you use telnet? [05:46] bkar: unless telnet 80 [05:47] Linuxishawt-> for quick test [05:47] Linuxishawt-> you have something againts telnet? [05:47] bkar: it's insecure, ssh should be used instead of it [05:48] which xchat command to view all my posts?

[05:55] nickrud, hmm me too. do you recall a "ethernal_flame" here maybe an hour ago. he said he was sent to -offtopic because he was talking randomly here. i dont see any message from the last 5 hours of him. just wondering [05:55] I think Grub sees only the bios drives, so it sees hd0 and hd1, so while it finds linux on hd1, once it's booting up the device is now the 3rd drive (sdc) and it fails. [05:55] Linuxishawt: any other thoughts? [05:55] With the Live CD works But when I Install on HDD dosen't work [05:55] soldats: no I don't remember him, you could look at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ and see if he's been here [05:56] DoubleDew: well a quick nmap doesn't show anything other than 23 and 8000 open [05:56] DoubleDew, you are able to load your page from inside your network right?

[05:58] but the boot-manage thats on there works and chan load windows [05:58] yes [05:59] about having to swap the drives? [05:59] i dont want to swap drives tho [05:59] DoubleDew, What type of router are you using? [05:59] the chain load doesnt work cause i put diff boot loaders on hd1,0 [05:59] well, windows doesn't like to boot from the 2nd drive [05:59] so you will have to. [05:59] windows was installed on the second drive [05:59] and its primary drive is d [05:59] so it must and i will not need to [05:59] do everyone know, why http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53270/ dont go?????? [06:00] dunno, it must have installed somethign on drive C [06:00] rekon: dlink DI-524 [06:00] in know the grub-install but if i use (hd1) will it go to my extrenal drive or should i use (sda0)??? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [06:00] ...and is booting to drive C and then switching to D [06:00] ntldr is on c yeah i think [06:00] DoubleDew, can you goto www.whatismyip.com and private msg me the result? [06:00] ok, so you really need to chainload to that, then. [06:00] but grub is on c too [06:00] maybe grub 0,0 [06:01] that hung too i thought [06:01] chain load worked until i ran fdisk -B disklabel -B and boot0cfg -B on hd1,0 [06:01] it might be 0,1 or ... who knows, what partition is ntldr on? [06:01] rekon: that website gives me a couple different ones that change between each other randomly [06:01] both rly [06:02] do everyone know, why http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/53270/ dont go?????? [06:02] maybe you need to boot your windows recovery disk and run fdisk /mbr on drive D, then. [06:02] DoubleDew: on your router what wan IP do you have? [06:02] 10.3.4.114 === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:02] DoubleDew, Hmmm The reason I ask is because that IP you spoke of earlier....If I telnet into it, its a remote admin for a OptiQRoute 2180 router. [06:02] before it used to chainload 1,0 [06:02] i have a really weird issue. every time i open a terminal it crashed the entire xfce session and returns me to the login screen.. any ideas? [06:03] pajamian i think i will do that [06:03] allthoug the bootloader on that drive can load windows [06:03] but it boots with C: as its system drive [06:03] the only reason that works is because D: is a third drive on there that has a clone of C: [06:03] DoubleDew: that's the issue right there [06:04] DoubleDew: your ISP is using private address' so you're going through two NAT boxes [06:04] but neither one of those ever work [06:04] I just installed Gutsy off of the DVD. I installed as a server, and pre loaded DNS, LAMP, and the desktop. When I start up after installing I'm having serious trouble with my monitor (a Dell 2005FPW). During a normal boot the monitor goes blank and I get "cannot display this mode" I've tried setting various VGA modes in grub (vga=whatever), and sometimes I get the same sometimes I get a bright orange screen that's clearly messed [06:04] well, it could even be booting two partitions on the 2nd drive as C: and D:, you should look at your partition scheme for all the drives and figure it out. [06:05] someone said i should rebuild grubs map [06:05] or updated the mapping [06:05] d [06:05] wont say how [06:05] DoubleDew: it won't work because you have your 10.X gateway which is your D-Link and then you have the public gateway which is the one the websites see [06:06] so i am out of luck then? [06:06] jatim [06:06] yes [06:06] DoubleDew: yup =( because of your ISP [06:06] dmanit [06:06] qubits: not sure what that does, I'm not a grub expert by any means, but getting it to boot to windows is usually not a problem. [06:06] i knew this shouldn't be that hard [06:07] DoubleDew: sorry man, try contacting them, maybe they're able to put you on a routable IP? [06:07] selly [06:07] I g2g work in the morning, I have to support my winders users [06:08] Thanks a lot for your help guys [06:08] DoubleDew: NP [06:08] i have a really weird issue. every time i open a terminal it crashed the entire xfce session and returns me to the login screen.. any ideas? [06:09] indonesia [06:09] whew...took xactly 1 hour to install ubuntu 7.10 on virtual box [06:09] ugh, sudo apt-get still does nothing. :\ [06:10] pajamian what function in windows recovery will not wipeout the bootloader on hd1,0 but fix its loader [06:10] executing apt-get normally gives me the permissions errors, but sudo does nothing. [06:10] hey, cure for slow mirrors: use canadian ones [06:10] well it doesnt matter [06:10] since the grub on the first disk has all the capabilty i need [06:11] can load freebsd and if it will load the windows drive then im fine [06:11] qubits: I honestly don't know, you can replace the boot sector with fdisk /mbr just make sure you run it on the correct drive. I would make sure the 2nd drive has a windows boot sector on it instead of grub. [06:12] but I really don't know, I haven't done it on two drives like that before, and it's been a few years since I ditched windows all together. [06:12] jones: have you tried xterm? is it just xfce4-terminal killing xfce? [06:13] jones: if it is you could always reinstalling the package [06:13] what you may want to do is fdisk /mbr the first disk just as a test, it will wipe out grub from the boot sector but you can put it back later. Then you will be able to see if windows can at least boot itself. [06:14] karrotcake: more details, i have ubuntu installed and it is fine just a litle slow on the old machine. i instaled xubuntu and when i choose terminal it goes to a black screen then back to the login screen. i am sorry i dont really understand ur question [06:14] does anyone know how i can change the preferences so my screen saver doesn't come on when i am playing a video [06:15] zack: should be in the screensaver preferences [06:15] zack: for some reason it doesn't always work; you can add the inhibit applet to the panel to turn off the screensaver temporarily [06:15] jones: ah sorry i though you were talking about opening in a terminal while in xfce [06:16] hello [06:16] hi! someone can explain me what * means? are this an pointer to pointer string? in C++, I do not undestood [06:16] crwlr, all i can do there is change the idle time [06:16] jones: in that case its do to with gdm, the program that manages logging in and loading xfce or gnome [06:16] anyone ever install linux on a 3-drive system with linux on the 3rd drive, and the first two drives in a [fake] raid0 configuration? [06:16] zack: i checked...its not...but i use vlc media player and it plays the movie all the way thru without the screensaver poppin on [06:17] crwlr, I will try using vlc player i cant really remember which player i was using when it happened but maybe that will work, thanks [06:17] karrotcake: i am able to use everything else in xubuntu. i can browse and everything. the gnome side works no prob at all. any ideas on a fix for this. i would like to use xubuntu because it is a lot faster but it is worthless without a terminal [06:18] should with ease [06:18] it is in the screensaver prefs, there's a box for "activate screensaver when computer is idle", just uncheck it. [06:18] peace ooout [06:19] jones: oh ok, well something you could try, is to go into synaptic, and search and install xterm [06:19] jones: then run that; you might need to create a shortcut to load it [06:20] huh? surely xubuntu comes with a terminal app? [06:20] karrotcake: so is it an issue w/ the terminal that is installed in xfce or some other type of conflict? [06:21] so if i have closed vlc with a movie playing but i still hear sound... howh do i force quit it... i do not see it playing on my desktop though [06:21] jones: well im not sure, id try a different terminal first. xfce comes with a terminal xfce4-terminal which im assuming is what your running when you click on your terminal icon [06:21] anyone run etqw 1.4 on ubuntu here? [06:22] sound doesn't work for me with 1.4, but did with the last version of etqw (1.2 i think) [06:22] i don't know what could have caused it and would like some assistance :) [06:22] Hello =) [06:22] hi :) [06:22] zack: i watch .divx movies at night when i'm off to bed and it stays on so i think that is ur fix. i didnt have to configure anything. my screensaver idle time is 10 mins so u should be golden with that. [06:23] crwlr [06:23] yes [06:24] I have installed fresh ubuntu 7.10... then all updates through synaptic.... then because i wanted kde i installed kubuntu-desktop and everything seemed fin in both kde and gnome. I decided that io wanted to try out xfce so i used synaptic to install xubuntu-desktop and now gnome is all screwy and wont let me brouse storeage drives in file manager and some other bugs like so selection rectangle with mouse etc. [06:25] quick question about the ubuntu desktop course, I am cto of a small business that must do some training for our clients, is there a way to get the desktop course under a license that would permit that sort of use? [06:25] karrotcake: it shows in synaptic that xterm is already installed. is this because i have gnome loaded as well? [06:25] when i installed xubuntu-desktop it wanted to remove "totem-gstreamer" so i let it but thats all [06:25] qubits??? [06:26] Is anyone else having problems with Miro constantly crashing when searching for videos and/or know how to solve it? [06:26] debatem1-> you want to license what? [06:26] jones: ah yeah, its already installed then. try creating a shortcut that runs that and see what happens. [06:26] karrotcake: ok i created a launcher and am able launch the xterm. [06:27] bkar: we need to train our clients to do basic tasks in ubuntu. the desktop training guide is great, and we want to use it, but its licensed CC-NC. is there a way to purchase a copy under a different license, or... [06:28] jones: cool, so id try removing and reinstalling xfce4-terminal, and if that doesnt work id try running xfce4-terminal outside of xubuntu and see if you get any error messages other than it not finding a display [06:28] jones: thats if you dont like xterm [06:28] who was telling me that geubuntu is called opengeu??? [06:28] debatem1-> oh, you have to call them and find out [06:28] what is a good visual traceroute program? [06:29] I wanna see the traceroute on maps like googlemaps [06:29] bkar: yeah, i figured, just thought id ask here first [06:29] karrotcake: i went into synaptics and marked xfce4-terminal for reinstallation. it went through the process but still crashes when i select it in the menu [06:29] Is there a way to make certain wireless networks have priority over others in roaming mode? [06:30] I keep automatically connecting to my neighbors network, but I don't want to do that unless mine is down. [06:30] bkar: thanks for your help [06:31] timandtom-> dont use roaming, put a preference on your essid [06:31] does anyone have any idea as to why xubuntu-desktop would render gnome nearly unusable? [06:31] timandtom-> you can set it permanently to acquire your essid and not the neighbors, in /etc/network/interfaces file [06:32] karrotcake: i even tried to launch the xfce terminal from within xterm and it crahses. i was hoping i would get a output saying what was happening but no. i do not really have a preference of terminal i am just more curious as to why it crashes the entire DE [06:32] jones: you could be running into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/114124 (seems to be happening on older hardware)...some people are saying you should change your colour depth. [06:33] karrotcake: will that effect my gnome setup? it is older hardware. a 833mhz w/ 256 ram [06:33] jones, no [06:34] jones, i have what you have my color depth is very low and i experience no problems [06:35] karrotcake/soldats: i am looking now for xorg.conf and am going to change the depth. [06:35] jones: hmm i would have thought it WOULD affect gnome as well as its modified in your xorg.conf and i thought they were shared between gnome and xfce, but soldats prolly knows what hes talking about [06:35] Is there a way to kill a process (a Ruby script, specifically) and then start it again every x hours through SSH? [06:37] cron it [06:37] jones: btw xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/ [06:38] KarrotCake, a slightly bad refresh rate will caue his problem as well as color depth not set right. but usually having one of those 2 issues you normally cant even boot to gui. but in the case that you do boot to gui the most likely thing is color depth slightly off or refresh rate slightly off. or maybe a faulty install. anyways gotta sleep [06:39] whats the chan on efnet that is just for chatting randomness [06:39] heh [06:39] er freenode* [06:40] !ot | webPragmatist maybe this but it is ubuntu-offtopic [06:40] webPragmatist maybe this but it is ubuntu-offtopic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:40] yea not that === SchwarzerHexenme is now known as witchmaster [06:41] no clue then sorry im only here [06:41] #defocus [06:41] if you were wondering* [06:41] glade 和 anjuta有人用过吗？？ [06:42] karrotcake/soldats: changing the depth worked. it does not crash any longer. :) my only issue is that that the terminal that it opens is huge. it covers approx 75% of the screen. i can resize it after opening but how can i make it not open so big? the font is large as well in the terminal but not in other apps. thanks for the help [06:43] 没有人在吗？？？？？？？？ [06:43] !cn | ownlinux [06:43] ownlinux: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:43] jones, there should be a menu in the terminal so try to change the default fonts and there might be a size setting too im not so sure on that though. gotts sleep for reals now byr glad to help :P [06:44] i got the font fixed but [06:44] thanks again [06:45] not too happy with geubuntu. betas are not my kind of thing. [06:46] If I want to kill the first process I find when I run the command "ps aux | grep ruby", how would I do that? [06:46] Icehawk78: kill PIDofthatprocess [06:47] Is there a way to extract the PID dynamically? I'm trying to put it into a shell script. [06:47] Icehawk78: read up on pkill/pgrep also [06:47] Icehawk78: that may be what you want [06:47] Hey what's the best of the best of the best linux distribution? [06:47] arjuna: depends on what you want [06:48] ?themes [06:48] who is the robot... [06:48] !bot [06:48] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:48] yao_ziyuan: sudo apt-get install emerald [06:48] !bot themes [06:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about bot themes - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:48] !themes | yao_ziyuan [06:49] yao_ziyuan: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:49] ok [06:49] yao_ziyuan: search google for "emerald themes" and you can install them that way [06:49] crwlr: he may or may not be looking for Emerald themes without clarification :P [06:49] might be GNOME/KDE/etc. [06:49] scguy318: emerald themes are the best :D [06:49] crwlr: they are :) [06:50] so why not just give him help on the best ones out there? [06:50] Hi.!!How can I disable the music that plays at Ubuntu start-up.?? [06:50] shady_inc: why would you want to do that? [06:50] crwlr: because his machine may not be able to handle Emerald [06:50] crwlr: not everyone can run it, I can't on this machine [06:50] shady_inc: System -> Prefs -> Sounds I imagine [06:50] what are you running, scguy318? [06:50] crwlr: Ubuntu Gutsy [06:51] i HAVE searched myself for a solution......... and my connection is VERY slow so its kinda a pain to reinstall ubuntu and kubuntu-desktop...... [06:51] no, specs scguy318 [06:51] : kk...let me check.. [06:51] crwlr: 512 MB, ATI Mobility, 10 GB HDD :P [06:51] and you can't run it?! I am on basically the same thing! [06:51] crwlr: wouldn't be very nice to my system performance [06:52] scguy318: AHHH [06:52] Hopefully one last question. If I'm running SSH through screen, is there a way to have a specific cron job display its output on a specific screen session? [06:52] well mine performs...okay...i guess...scguy318 [06:52] hello [06:52] hello abuyazan [06:52] Icehawk78: dunno [06:52] i deleted the footer panel by mistake, how can i add it again [06:52] crwlr> : ok...done,Thanks.! [06:53] abuyazan: right click, Add Panel [06:53] shady_inc: think your thanks goes it scguy318 [06:53] goes to* === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [06:53] scguy318, i did but when i open program it did not appear on it, [06:54] Oops..my mistake....Thanks [06:54] its all good, shady_inc [06:54] tmiw_: doing math with the video [06:54] ... wrong channel [06:54] ozzloy: why you gotta be doin that? HAHA JK [06:54] shady_inc: np [06:55] hola crwlr! nice to see you again [06:55] geubuntu sucks...just so ya'll know. stick with ubuntu! i am reinstalling ubuntu on my desktop now [06:55] me no speaky spanish, ozzloy, but hello and good to see you too [06:56] Does anyone know why installing xubuntu-desktop through synaptic would break gnome? [06:56] crwlr: well as long as you understand a word here and there, it works [06:56] Icehawk78: you can always output the command for the cron job to a file and then use tail -f in the ssh you have open. [06:57] ozzloy: but I am in the US and EVERYBODY should speak the native language, which is English FYI. I'm diehard on that. [06:57] crwlr: I'm aware that this isn't the place to discuss, but the US doesn't have an official language. [06:57] crwlr: o.0 ... k >_> [06:58] crwlr: yes, we should all speak some Native American language :P but we're getting off-topic [06:58] HAHAHA, i know, but i had to state it and didn't feel like joining some other room just to say it :) [06:59] Maybe i'm asking stupid questions but i am new to linux and trying to get a feel for things....... but this is like talking to a brick wall. Thanks for all the help. [06:59] Question on pure-ftpd [07:00] possum_: why would you want to install it? [07:00] possum_: probably no one knows the answer to your question [07:00] possum_: at least, no one active right now [07:00] I want to know where the default init stuff for pure-ftpd is stored (command line arguments) [07:01] sorry that was rude i'm just a little distressed been at my cmoputer for way too long trying to get to know how to do things [07:01] possum_: how is GNOME broken? [07:01] trying to leave winblows dead and buried [07:01] possum_, you should try installing xubuntu-desktop from the command line (apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) -- atleast that way, you can find out which exact package conflicts and try and workaround it (and report a bug to launchpad if it's a genuine bug) [07:01] possum_: answer is I think (don't know, but am mainly guessing here) that you can either have xfce or gnome, but not both? [07:02] possum_: you still didnt answer, dude. why do you want to install xubuntu? [07:02] what are some good click distro? [07:02] pajamian, sure you can have both, why not? [07:02] pajamian: you can have both [07:02] screw it. I'll just try a different ftp server [07:02] arjuna: Ubuntu :P [07:02] ok, I take it back, then, that's why I said I think, heh [07:02] arjuna: more seriously, I hear PCLinuxOS and Mint are good too [07:02] possum: how broken is your gnome? [07:02] how do i suspend a laptop via command line? [07:02] i want to try something different [07:02] when i try and browse mounted drives in file manager it just gives me a grey box and freezes... and buttons dont respond to mouse clicks, [07:02] dang it, i thought i had downloaded the desktop version... i downloaded the bloody server :( [07:03] pteague: you could technically install desktop with server [07:03] i just want tio try out a light weight desktop need to find something suitable for me [07:03] anyone know what to do when there are mouse buttons that dont show up in xev ? [07:03] pteague: you'll have to change kernels though [07:03] possum_: Xubuntu/Fluxbuntu/DSL (may not be in your taste)/etc. [07:03] siriusnova, have a read through this - http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Software_Suspend_v2 [07:04] possum_: strange the freezing, disk issues? [07:04] possum_: I would recommend just sticking with the default desktop. although it's lightweight, i tried it and it takes quite a bit of configuration. wait till ya get to know ubuntu a bit more till you start adding something like that. [07:04] only in gnome.... everything works fine in kde [07:04] scguy318> yeah, thought about that, but i seemed to have issues with the nvidia driver last time i tried that... then again last time i was using the i386 & this time it's the amd [07:04] scguy318> is fedora a click distro? [07:04] pteague: find a good torrent and get that desktop ISO I suppose :) [07:05] possum_: but if you just wanna go for it and install it, i would say open the terminal and i believe that "sudo apt-get install xubuntu" puts it on there, then you just log out and change the session on the login screen. [07:05] arjuna: not sure, it may or may not be in your taste [07:05] downloading it from osuosl.org ... 1.5 hours left [07:05] crwlr: xubuntu-desktop :) [07:05] xubuntu-desktop from memory [07:05] crwlr, ithe virtual package is named xubuntu-desktop [07:05] s/i// [07:05] arjuna> what do you mean by a click distro? [07:06] possum_: yeah caught that... sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop do that from the terminal, not synaptic [07:06] un0p: do you mean metapackage? virtual packages aren't installable if I read the Debian stuff right [07:06] pteague> like i don't have to use code much [07:06] oh ok.... do i need to remove what i installed via synaptic first though? [07:06] possum_: what did you install? [07:07] xubuntu-desktop [07:07] scguy318, i can't be sure with the terminology -- but what i mean is xubuntu-desktop is not a real package, it just pulls in other packages when it is installed [07:07] scguy318: xubuntu-desktop depends on a lot of things, factor that into your debian knowledge ;) [07:07] possum_: then there should be no need to run sudo apt-get ... [07:07] why choose ubuntu? [07:07] mage, un0p: I'm aware [07:07] DAMNIT [07:08] i can't find realplayer 11 for linux [07:08] can anyone help me [07:08] ? [07:08] oh ok..... well thats whats broken gnome. I guess i'll just reinsta,ll everything and stick with gnome and kde [07:08] arjuna> not sure what you mean... my biggest issue with redhat/fedora/mandriva is the package manager... then again i've not messed with redhat or mandriva for quite a while... but going from redhat 7.3 to 8 was unpleasant in rpm package dependency... i've not had any issues with debian based distros like ubuntu [07:08] possum_: Xfce is I think nice, but by all means go ahead [07:08] possum_: whatever you like :) [07:08] arjuana: free and easy to use [07:08] possum_, you should try installing xubuntu-desktop from the command line (apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) -- atleast that way, you can find out which exact package conflicts and try and workaround it (and report a bug to launchpad if it's a genuine bug) [07:08] :REPEATS: [07:08] can I find the copyleft symbol in Ubuntu? [07:09] visof: why RealPlayer? [07:09] un0p: he already has [07:09] oh ok but i dont need to remove it again first? [07:09] un0p: there's no package conflict or anything I believe, but GNOME is having issues [07:10] eah [07:10] scguy318 why why? [07:10] scguy318, possum_ , does gnome break after installing xubuntu-desktop or does xubuntu-desktop fail to install? [07:10] visof: surely one of the many free Linux players will cut it (perhaps with w32codecs from Medibuntu)? [07:10] un0p: the former [07:11] no xubuntu-desktop installed fine now when i log into gnome the UI is all screwy [07:11] scguy318 ok [07:11] possum_, any chance you can take a screenshot of what you see? [07:12] yes i can just need to switch to gnome [07:12] will do [07:12] possum_, if you have xnest installed, you can logon a gnome-session without logging out [07:13] file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch : How can I determine the filenames of my 'Device Information Files'? [07:13] arjuna: ubuntu works well, nice feel too [07:13] arjuna: great community, help, lots of momentum [07:14] My Desktop: http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqa4.png [07:15] well...that's my laptop, but it's the layout of it [07:15] Where can I find the copyleft symbol in Ubuntu? Does it exsist? [07:15] i got banned here alot [07:16] hi! how can i access another computer on the network in the same way as i write \\192.168.1.10\music in Windows? [07:16] n2diy_, is this to type the symbol out as a character or use as a graphic in something? [07:16] MrMozart, in nautilus -- smb://ip.add.re.ss [07:17] un0p: thanks! [07:17] un0p: both! :) [07:17] n2diy_, well, as a character i don't think one exists -- but graphics are available on the net (as you may know) [07:17] i cant take a screenshot as that "save screenshot" window freezes too... cant open applications ie. irc client does the same thing gives me a grey window with a top bar. [07:18] hmm i want to talk about running ubuntu under vmware - am i better off in here or the vmware chan? [07:18] possum_: try giving it a 2 second delay [07:19] I'm trying to compile an app and .configure ends with an error: 'needs GTK+-1.2 or GTK+-2' [07:19] mopitup, I would try both [07:19] not finding it in synaptic list [07:19] un0p: ok, haven't searched the net, I was hoping it would be in one of the character maps. It might be there too, I guess I should search the character maps too, but I was hoping to avoid that. [07:19] k ty - i will idle for a bit first anyway thanks [07:19] possum_, hmm well - it's hard to say what has gone wrong with your install -- if you like, you can try this at the command line -- sudo aptitude install -f [07:20] what do you mean? i have left windows open for several minutes and there is no change. [07:20] what does that do? [07:20] so i finally got my SATA HDD to mount, i hot pluged it, but now i cant rember how to change the owner of a disk, any help please? [07:21] possum_, well, if there are any broken packages, it should try and sort that out [07:21] possum_: what session you in? gnome or xubuntu? [07:21] has anyone here ever installed linux on a 3-drive system with a raid0 array (drives 1 and 2) and linux on drive 3? [07:21] where can i find a guide on installing ubuntu with fluxbox without first installing gnome? [07:21] ahh ok i'll give it a try [07:21] what's the most expensive Linux? [07:21] n00bie: google... [07:21] i'm in kde atm [07:21] Hi All - I just built a Qt app from srcs, and the app isnt launching.. What LOG do I look in for errors?? thx [07:21] bluefox, play with your permissions in /etc/dev/???? === randon is now known as Jaggz- [07:22] possum_: try this: type "ozz" followed by the key [07:22] in here [07:22] possum_, if you feel brave, you can completely remove/purge gnome and reinstall it -- but i wouldn't recommend it generally [07:22] ozzloy: no way - thats neat [07:22] ozzloy: lol thanks mate ^_~ [07:22] crwlr, yes, i tried googling, but couldn't find anything on the specific subject [07:22] possum_: no problem! [07:22] n00bie: http://fluxbuntu.org/js.html# [07:23] darkblue_B: no problem! [07:23] sorry, not mount, thats what im trying to do, i meant detect [07:23] so how is it that i change the owner of a drive/disk? [07:23] so that i don't have to be root to write to it? [07:24] bluefox, play with your permissions in /etc/dev/???? [07:24] dang [07:24] hey, I just installed and it seems that I have "bouncy" text entry [07:24] how experienced is ubuntu? [07:24] bluefox83, what is the volume formatted as? [07:24] I have a problem that is not related to Ubuntu or even Linux, but I don't know where to turn to ask. [07:25] as I type, the letters all jiggle [07:25] shoot. [07:25] how do I get back into the menu from the command-line grub? [07:25] n2diy_: i know that much, but im not sure how, also its /dev/sda1 that the drive is[74.4 GB] [07:25] arjuna, ubuntu isnt a person, so it doesn't have any experience :) [07:25] arjuna: ?? [07:25] Kira, ok, try us, we'll see where we can redirect you to [07:25] un0p: ok, one sec [07:25] bluefox, chmod /dev/sda1 [07:25] un0p: it wants to remove libgsf-gnome-1-114 [07:26] <_6StringKng_> !Konversation [07:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about konversation - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:26] <_6StringKng_> !Kubuntu [07:26] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [07:26] possum_, ok, what happens when you try and do that? === Ranting_ is now known as RantingHuman [07:26] MEPIS Linux and Xandros linux any good? [07:26] chmod: missing operand after `/dev/sda1' Try `chmod --help' for more information. [07:26] n2diy_, chmodding /dev/sda is unlikely to do anything, thats only the block device, it's the actual volume that needs changing [07:26] any idea on a LOG to look in, for an apps errors that is failing to launch? Qt [07:27] un0p: it removed it.... do you want me to paste terminal text? or see if gnome is working again? [07:27] arjuna, you'll have to ask the folks in the respective support channels ... [07:27] o.o [07:27] crwlr, does fluxbuntu have the same hardware support as a regular ubuntu installation? (i see it's not an official ubuntu release) [07:27] un0p: ok, interesting. Didn't know that. [07:27] n00bie: I'm thinking yes, but I am not 100% sure [07:27] possum_, well, if you removed it without any significant difficulty, then you'd probably be better of testing gnome out now [07:27] it should, n00bie [07:27] ok brb [07:28] ok, the disk seems to have been formatted as fat32 by the store i bought it from[bloody windows users i guess] [07:28] n00bie: i think any debian install would do fine and work as to what you have right now. i stick to debian [07:28] noobiexx, it's probably better "building" fluxbuntu from a ubuntu server disk [07:28] so what should i reformat it to to get it to show up as a drive on my desktop like my mp3 player [07:29] does anyone know what causes this error: ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port xx: connection timed out [07:29] bluefox83, well, you can't blame them -- FAT is the only filesystem that is universally supported on windows, mac, linux, etc [07:29] unOp: hm, if I try to access \\192.168.1.7\baerlon in Windows then I get prompted for username/password. Will the same happen in ubuntu? [07:29] i will brb, gonna go smoke [07:29] bluefox83, all you probably need to do is mount the drive -- see if it's detected -- sudo fdisk -l [07:29] sn00zer: you aren't logging in/authenticating to it. [07:29] un0p: so what do i want to turn it into to have it show up on my dekstop as a regular drive? [07:29] MrMozart: you should I believe [07:30] un0p: its detected, i had it mount into /media/disk [07:30] <_6StringKng_> I use Konvarsation as my IRC client, I was wanting to know if the OSD works with Gnome? [07:30] but its locked for me [07:30] MrMozart, that depends on how the share at \\192.168.1.7\baerlon is configured -- you'll probably be prompted for credentials, but you can save them [07:30] n2diy_: it doesn't give me the chance, it used to prompt for a password, now it sits there until i get the time out message [07:30] bluefox83, locked? in what way? [07:31] i am running fluxbox right now [07:31] xfce i mean [07:31] oops [07:31] owned by root, i dont want to have to run as root to write to it and i want to see it as a drive on my desktop like i can with my DAP and usb dongles === Veterini is now known as Lylat [07:31] sn00zer: and you're using the same procedure now has you did in the past? Maybe it has been locked down? [07:32] bluefox83, ok, how did you mount it? what exact command did you use? [07:32] un0p: ok it still doing the same thing but this time i managed to take a screenshot. Still wont let me browse files or open applications all the windows stay like these ones [07:32] is there a way to get back the default panel that comes with the installation of ubuntu? i mean to have the same buttons, including positions, etc...? i booted yesterday and all my buttons were disarranged. [07:32] possum_, ok, any chance you can upload that pic somewhere? [07:32] un0p: mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk resulted in " mount: must be root" [07:32] n2diy_: i've been trying to setup vnc over ssh but i don't think i've changed anything in the ssh settings [07:32] hi all [07:32] un0p: so i sudo ed it [07:33] sn00zer: do you currently have physical access to the server? [07:33] gvsa123: Do you know how to add and remove from the panel? [07:33] n2diy_: yes [07:33] bluefox83, right, try this -- umount it (as root) and mount it as a regular user -- sudo umount /dev/sda1; pmount-hal /dev/sda1 ... and then look in /media to see if it was mounted [07:33] desertc: yep... i was thinking of a way to just reset to default... just wondering... [07:33] un0p: ok will do [07:34] gvsa123: you could create a new account... [07:34] sn00zer: can you ping the server, and vice versus? [07:34] un0p: I'm uploading it to rapidshare but it will take a while on my connection [07:34] gvsa123: you could log out and delete your .gnome directory... [07:34] Ok, so I need a way to display the current state of a file on my computer, or, more specifically, what's inside it.... [07:34] n2diy_: yes, successful ping in both directions [07:34] xTheGoat121x, gedit /path/to/file ? [07:35] un0p: ok here http://rapidshare.de/files/38392549/Screenshot.png.html [07:35] desertc: delete .gnome and then a new one will be created? you mean on my current account? or on the new account i would make? [07:35] sn00zer: hmmm, weird, no other error messages? [07:35] hello, I need to figure out how to browse through my windows partition. [07:35] how can i access a windows remote desktop from ubuntu? [07:35] so yeah i'm trying to figure out a way to boot ubuntu from my usbflash [07:35] I can see it in /media/sda1 [07:35] but the folder is empty [07:35] !tsclient [07:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about tsclient - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:35] gvsa123: I suppose you would have to login with a new account. Sounds messy though, you sure you can't just add the buttons back? [07:35] !info tsclient | MrMozart [07:35] mrmozart: tsclient (source: tsclient): front-end for viewing of remote desktops in GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 0.148-3ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 294 kB, installed size 1052 kB [07:35] desertc: i'm thinking i could copy from another user... it should be the .gnome directory? [07:35] ouellettesr, then why you cannot brownse ¡ [07:35] ? [07:35] thankts unOp! [07:36] gvsa123: Dont need to copy, juts remove the whole thing [07:36] un0p, well yeah, but I'm talking display it somewhere, like on a panel or something.... [07:36] gvsa123: It'll get regenerated [07:36] desertc: i could of course... :) [07:36] Flannel: i see... i'll try that... [07:36] xTheGoat121x, on the desktop ok? [07:36] carl [07:36] ouellettesr, did you hibernate your computer from xp ¡? [07:36] thanks you two... :) [07:36] I don't know [07:36] gvsa123: yes, I agree with flannel [07:36] un0p, you see, the wireless light on my laptop doesn't light but I can monitor it through the ACPI [07:36] carl no [07:36] n2diy_: not that i can tell, both pc's are right in front of me, on the client i enter ssh -X user@host and the cursor moves down 1 line and blinks until the time out error is shown [07:36] gvsa123: since, thats what happened the first time you logged in (it got created) [07:37] ouellettesr, you will not see your xp partition if you have a issues with xp [07:37] n2diy_: and i've shut down and restarted the sshd several times but that didn't help [07:37] sn00zer: I thought the command was ssh -l usernam blah blah blah? [07:37] ouellettesr, I mean, you must have xp without hibernate [07:37] It's about packing software on CD. You guys know that many software companies put unique product keys with their CD packages. I'm just wondering how they make the arrangement with the CD packager. [07:37] carl, its windows vista [07:38] ouellettesr, mmm [07:38] Kira: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good place. Well, better than here anyway. I really have no idea though. [07:38] carl it has worked before, I just haven't used it in a long time [07:38] so i'm trying to install ubuntu to a usb flash only the bios doesn't support booting from flash is there any easy workaround, like a boot cd that will enable me to boot to the flash? [07:38] can i download some themes for mplayer? [07:39] ouellettesr, maybe ocurre an error in vista, or the energy went off [07:39] Flannel: thanks. :) [07:39] n2diy_: i don't think you need the -l if you use username@host, -l is for ssh username "space" host [07:39] I never realised there is an offtopic channel. [07:39] gnome or kde is better? [07:39] ouellettesr, do you understand me ? [07:39] could i hot plug a IDE drive and see it without rebooting?> [07:40] arjuna, thats like asking if a mercedes is better than a BMW ... [07:40] arjuna: both are good for their own uses, try and find out what is yours [07:40] bluefoxx: When you "hot plug" you'll most likely cause your computer to reboot [07:40] sn00zer: Could be? How about machine name. -l username. Maybe the DNS has changed? [07:40] anyone experience with mandriva linux [07:40] file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch : How can I determine the filenames of my 'Device Information Files'? I believe that /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/ does not contain all necessary 'Device Information Files'. [07:40] peter5579: #mandriva probably might [07:41] carl, yeah that's not it. I used to have sda1 icon on my desktop, but I came in here and asked how to remove it from desktop. and since then I have not tried to acess it. [07:41] ouellettesr, I would prove reentering on vista, and then, reboot, and get into linux, and see if the partition is mounted [07:41] Flannel: well thats how i got my SATA drive to detect[after over a month of thinking my mobo was burning out] [07:41] bullgard4, what are you trying to accomplish? [07:41] ouellettesr, did you delate it ??? [07:41] n2diy_: didn't help [07:41] carl no [07:42] carl, changed fstab [07:42] ouellettesr, because that folder, it really contain the partition, it is not a link [07:42] un0p: A good question. Next question please. Or better yet, please an answer to my question. [07:42] carl I know [07:42] bullgard4, wanna pay me? :) [07:43] ouellettesr, so, you did change your fstab for what ? [07:43] so I didn't have a sda1 icon on my desktop [07:43] Anyone need help? :) [07:43] bullgard4, i dont know the exact answer to this question - which is why i asked what you were trying to accomplish in the bigger picture so i could try and suggest an alternaitve route to a solution [07:44] n2diy_: thanks for your help, i'll try a full reboot tomorrow and see if it fixes it [07:44] ouellettesr, what is your originall language ? [07:44] ok, so i have a second terminal box set up after my school gave me tha shell of a box they were going to toss, but i dont have enough pc100 RAM to boot a ubuntu CD, but i have gotten a puppy and slax dick to work in it, unfortunatly the mouse isnt working, its a serial mouse thats pluged into a serial>ps/2 adaptor, im wondering, does linux not support serial mice? [07:44] bluefoxx: IDE/PATA specification is not *technically* hot-swappable :P [07:44] Flannel: desertc: hmmm... my panels didn't get reset... i looked at the contents of .gnome there was only a .trash_entry_cache inside a gnome-vfs directory [07:44] <_6StringKng_> I use Konvarsation as my IRC client, I was wanting to know if the OSD works with Gnome? anyone? [07:44] <_6StringKng_> Konversation* [07:44] so thats why [07:44] sn00zer: ok, good luck, 73 [07:44] and as for serial mice, I'd assume so [07:45] carl english === _max is now known as max` [07:45] un0p: I am trying to fix a bug. Nautilus sees a remote share but cannot copy a file from it. I get a 'DBus fails' message. [07:45] n2diy_: 73? [07:45] ouellettesr, never mind [07:45] ouellettesr, so, you did change your fstab [07:45] Zorlin: lol, i figured that, ive unpluged IDE drives from computers while they were running so i wanted to know if i could plug them back in [07:45] and after that, what happened ? [07:45] carl yes, a long time ago [07:45] sn00zer: google 73 and ham radio. :) [07:45] carl I didn't have the icon on my desktop anymore [07:46] is there a chance to put html code in a screenlet? [07:46] n2diy_: ahh, anyway, thanks again [07:46] Bluefoxx: However... the softmod exploit/hot-swapping trick on Xbox'es uses hot-swapping to work [07:46] i have x2 processor is it 32 bit or 64 bit? [07:46] and the xbox uses an IDE hard-drive :P [07:46] ouellettesr, did you comment the line changed ? [07:46] so while it doesn't technically *support it* [07:46] sn00zer: 73 [07:46] lol, would you belive i have one of these that still works?>http://www.bookcase.com/share/hardware/drives/seagate/ide/st3144a.txt [07:46] ouellettesr, or did you erase it ? [07:46] carl http://pastebin.org/16784 [07:46] its possible you might be able to, depending your system's contents [07:46] as in, what sort of motherboard, cpu etc you are using [07:46] and hard-drive :P [07:47] un0p: See http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/147514/ [07:47] and probably likely that you can. [07:47] any screenlet user here? [07:47] Zorlin: ok, thanks for the info[hey, i saw a xbox set for 70$ at the value village today =P] [07:48] Bluefoxx: If you're bored, why not get it? [07:48] ouellettesr, what line did you change ? [07:48] i got a question...how do i access my network from xfce? [07:48] You can easily install something like Linux or EvoX on an Xbox without spending any money on modchips etc [07:48] Where can I download the ndiswrapper package for Gutsy? [07:48] all you need is a working PC with an IDE cable xD [07:49] Zorlin: cause i dont have 70$, if i did ide buy a hdd for my second computer, along with RAM and networking cable [07:49] carl the sda line [07:49] lol. Touche. [07:49] sorry sda1 carl [07:49] bullgard4, it's beyond me why you would delve into 'device information files' -- have you ruled out problems with network connectivity and permissions on the network share? [07:49] Bluefoxx: If you use an IDE -> SATA converter, you might be able to pull it off [07:49] as in, use an IDE -> SATA converter on each of the drives you need to hot-swap [07:50] ouellettesr, let me see my fstab and we could rebuild it [07:50] but then you need to buy a SATA PCI card =\ [07:50] i need to get that second box up for my grandfather to learn on, but the mouse wont work and i dunno how to nav in slax/puppy with no mouse[i can pull it off in ubuntu but it doesnt have enough RAM] [07:50] hi, I'm having some internet connection issues in ubuntu 7.10 [07:51] Zorlin: i got lucky, when i replaced my mobo i got one with pcie and SATA, but lost windows[but gained linux, which is MUCH better] [07:51] bluefoxx: Neato. [07:51] Where can I find the copyleft symbol in Ubuntu? Does it exsist? [07:51] Can you afford a PATA/IDE -> SATA tray then? [07:52] the connection works normally (fullspeed for ten minutes) the crawls at less than 1k/sec for ten minutes. then repeats ad nauseum. Any ideas? [07:52] usually they are like $5-30 [07:52] it really varies. [07:52] ok, I'm still having problems ... here's what's happening ... I've installed ubuntu gutsy and it boots up fine, then I run the upgrades and it freezes with a blank screen after logging in (blank is background color with mouse pointer that can be moved) so I think one of the packages that was upgraded is causing problems. Is there a way I can "downgrade" all those packages back to the base version without having to re-install ubuntu aga [07:52] in? Then I can experiment with a divide and conquor approach to find out which package is causing the problem? [07:52] ouellettesr, I can't see the problem [07:52] sal_paradice: network loading? [07:52] ouellettesr, it seems perfect the instruction [07:52] hmm [07:53] n2diy_: what do you mean network loading? [07:53] ...keeping in mind that I can't use synaptic, I can get to a console and use apt, though [07:53] what does Kaleidoscope mean in the context Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (4th Edition) (Kaleidoscope) (Paperback) [07:53] ouellettesr, did you do a changes on table partitions lately ? [07:53] what was the best linux in early 2000s? [07:53] sal_paradice: traffic on the network. [07:53] bluefoxx: Found this http://www.cooldrives.com/idehadrtosap.html [07:53] carl no [07:54] ouellettesr, why did you change fstab ? [07:54] ouellettesr, what it was your purpose ? [07:54] n2diy: no, the problem only affects this laptop, even when there are no others on the network, or even when i'm on a different network [07:54] how come everytime i turn my computer on it says fail to initialize HAL! [07:54] failed** [07:54] carl, so I wouldn't have sda1 automount on my desktop. [07:55] carl, but no I need to access sda1 [07:55] but now* [07:55] You are dual-booting windows and ubuntu.? [07:56] sudo ftab no longer works here! Stand alone box, running Dapper. [07:56] *ftab/fstab [07:56] ouellettesr, this is my configuration: UUID=3E94FF4B94FF0465 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [07:56] Hi! I installed PHP/MySQL/Apache but can't connect to mysql...Is there some mods i have to make to connect to mysql? [07:56] n2diy_, sudo fstab ?? [07:56] shady_inc, no i know it has something to do with hdparm [07:57] n2diy_, fstab is not a command [07:57] unop: did you see the screenshot mate? [07:57] ouellettesr, copy the instruccion after ntfs, and let's see if this is mounted [07:57] pajamian: I think the only way to downgrade is to re-install [07:57] I need compiz help [07:58] pajamian: what is exactly going on? you were not clear [07:58] possum_, I tried but i can't seem to get rapidshare to let me download the pic and I had to restart firefox can you send the link again [07:58] please? [07:58] I need help getting qemu working someone help [07:58] how come everytime i turn my computer on it says failed to initialize HAL! i looked on google but havent found an answer yet [07:58] sorry, I thought I was, not sure how else to explain it, what part was confusing? [07:58] unop: http://rapidshare.de/files/38392549/Screenshot.png.html =) [07:59] pajamian: what is happening that is causing you not to login [07:59] possum_, fta [07:59] unop: then what is /etc/fstab? [07:59] jay-oh-en: HAL is a microsoft term [07:59] I have ubuntu desktop running in a vmware workstation on a windows xp pro machine - I want to run Kaffeine in ubuntu as a capture app for my tvcard - currently it cant see the card - is what I want to do even possible? [08:00] desertc, no it isnt [08:00] Hi! I installed PHP/MySQL/Apache but can't connect to mysql...Is there some mods i have to make to connect to mysql? [08:00] jay-oh-en: I am quite certain it is [08:00] n2diy_, it's a non-executable text file containing information for mount to help in mounting volumes [08:00] I can login, and then it freezes with just the mouse pointer and a blank screen (background color), and the HDD light is flickering the whole time. I can move the mouse pointer and I can get a console with ctrl-alt-F1 but that's about it. [08:00] hal is hardware abstraction layer.hal.dll is a file in windows [08:00] mopitup: I don't think so, since most of the hardware is emulated [08:00] desertc, search my problem on google and youll only see linux pop up [08:00] unop: fta? [08:00] \quit rebooting [08:01] /msg nickserv set unfiltered on [08:01] Can somebody help with Compiz? [08:01] qwerty121> what does 'mysql -u root -p' says? [08:01] hi all [08:01] unop: and it used to list my network devices, no it doesn't I guess I've been "upgraded?" [08:01] hi, when connect to ubuntu server (via ssh, http...) , it works fine but ubuntu server stops connection, ssh client kinda freezes [08:01] sonicjmc: try #compiz-fusion [08:01] pajamian: what happens when you let it sit for a while? [08:01] elius: it's allright. but i can't connect to mysql with php... [08:01] Starnestommy ty - i was beginning to think it wasnt possible [08:01] nothing, I just let it sit while I went and ate dinner. [08:02] I haven't used this program ever, how to I change room? [08:02] after some times [08:02] pajamian: and you can't get to a service console? Can you get to a console before you login? [08:02] anybody has such a problem with ubuntu server? [08:02] yes, I can get to a console [08:02] Oh, hey, figured out room changing [08:02] possum_, nevermind. i got your screenshot - what happens when you run this command (preferably at a terminal) .. killall gnome-settings-daemon && gnome-settings-daemon [08:02] both before and after logging in. [08:02] with ctrl-alt-F1 [08:02] unop: should i try it from within gnome? [08:02] ifstab used to list my network devices, now it doesn't? How do I see the network devices now, with Dapper? [08:02] n2diy_, fstab ?? perhaps you meant fdisk ? [08:02] pajamian: what does the log file say? (use my name when chatting so people don't get confused) [08:03] see ya [08:03] desertc: which log file should I look at? [08:03] my problem is exact same as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151180 [08:03] qwerty121> "cat /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | grep mysql.so" paste results [08:03] unop: nope [08:03] possum_, try it from a virtual terminal -- press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to VT1 -- and CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back [08:03] pajamian: let's start with the /var/log/messages [08:03] file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch : How can I determine the filenames of my 'Device Information Files'? I believe that /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/ does not contain all necessary 'Device Information Files'. [08:03] n2diy_, afaik, fstab is not a _standard_ unix utility/command [08:03] elius: i am in windows now. brb [08:04] n2diy_, you probably have it confused for something named similar [08:04] desertc, search my problem on google and youll only see linux pop up [08:04] oops [08:04] how come everytime i turn my computer on it says failed to initialize HAL! i looked on google but havent found an answer yet [08:04] unop: yes, I could be having a brain cramp. Going to search my CLI history now.

[08:06] pajamian: it should be at the end [08:06] jay-oh-en: use pastebin [08:06] possum_, ok, try this again (mind the &s) -- killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon && gnome-settings-daemon & [08:06] ok, I will retype the last few lines, then ... [08:06] !pastebin |pajamian [08:06] pajamian: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [08:06] desertc, or you can look an google and see what im seeing but MORE [08:07] heh, right, I'll use the pastebin, let me install a mail app and see if I can mail the log to myself [08:07] possum_, i gotta do something -- i'll probably be back in about 5/10 mins [08:07] jay-oh-en: but then how would everyone else here be able to help you? [08:07] Hi all. Some commands (ex: useradd, mkdir) I do as sudo get ignored. Nothing happens no error, nothing. I can't even shutdown! Any ideas? (7.10 server) [08:07] why do you hate windows? please go back to windows. how dare you install linux? [08:08] unop: ok thanks man =D [08:08] desertc, but ill bet somebody in here is watching me type and just watching and not helping [08:08] is there a stable ubuntu release using a 2.4 kernel? [08:08] jay-oh-en: that would be me [08:09] I suppose what i am asking is "what ubuntu distro uses 2.4.x" [08:09] desertc, eff you [08:09] unop: yes, I could be having a brain cramp. I was looking for ifconfig! [08:10] hello guys which package should i install to get inittab file? [08:10] genewitch: none [08:11] Hi, Guys. Does anyone know what is the situation with Pidgin Voice Support for talking to Google talk ??? Is it being developed? Becoming available ??? [08:11] Gpalco: try asking #pidgin. [08:11] wget http://download85.mediafire.com/y3lzn29vrr2g/fzdznvbnlwu/SECRETOX.rar <-- will this work so that I can download ANON documents that the Church of Scientology does not want me to see? [08:12] Gpalco: I assume that the "Pidgin does NOT support voice or video" [08:12] in the name of the topic, would indicate "No" [08:12] is there a stable ubuntu release using a 2.4 kernel? [08:12] to both your questions. [08:12] haha, dn4, that'll work fine [08:12] Starnestommy, no such chanel [08:12] Gpalco: without the . at the end [08:12] Gpalco: #pidgin without the dot [08:13] Gpalco: The topic of #pidgin has "Pidgin does NOT support voice or video" in it, so I assume thats a NO :P [08:13] genewitch: try asking in #ubuntu-kernel? [08:13] hello guys i am using ubuntu linux and i dont see /etc/inittab file in there so is there any package that i need to install inorder to get that file? [08:13] good point [08:14] Starnestommy, Zorlin, thank you [08:14] <_ruben> buffdaemon: inittab is no longer used in ubuntu, it uses upstart instead of init [08:15] Gpalco: You're most welcome. Stick around a while and help out others if you like. Need help with anything else? [08:15] =p [08:15] thanks a lot [08:15] pajamian: still there? I forgot you can't do a cut and paste [08:15] anybody here still uses windows 98? [08:15] _ruben: Wow, really? Since when? [08:15] desertc: yeah, I installed mailutils and am trying to email to myself [08:15] i have a windows 98 vm [08:15] but it doesn't appear to be going through [08:15] arjuna: installed it today on a i586 [08:15] Zorlin: edgy [08:16] or yesterday [08:16] I'm trying to think of another way to get it to me ... maybe I can scp it somewhere... [08:16] crdlb: Oh darn, now I feel like a total noob. I tried for hours to get a script running using init on 6.10 [08:16] if init.d is gone, i mean [08:16] pajamian: interesting! [08:17] :P Thanks crdlb, thanks _ruben [08:17] CentHOGG> what's i586 [08:17] Note, if anybody has the same error I did. Tell them to try installing xserver-xgl [08:17] ...or install openssh and just log in from a terminal on this box will work ... [08:17] arjuna: pentium [08:17] CentHOGG: A CPU architecture? [08:17] oops, arjuna* i mean [08:17] Zorlin: correct [08:17] Zorlin, aha. I do. I am looking for software in Ubuntu like the KillCopy in Windows - it integrates into Win Explorer and gives you options to resume copy/move, recover broken files etc... Is there an addition like that for NAUTILUS ??? Need it badly. [08:18] or is the package sshd? [08:18] Gpalco: Sorry mate, I'm not too sure about that =( [08:18] what's the best image burning software for linuxwhat's the best image burning software for linux [08:18] But ask around, there is 1157 people logged in here. :P Someone's gotta know something. [08:18] ahhh, openssh-server [08:18] Arjuna: K3b is supposed to be very good, if you are running Kubuntu. [08:18] hi [08:18] Arjuna: I like the one with a mexican name, but I can't remember it... [08:18] Zorlin, there is a stage in Ubuntu starup: after login screen and the desktop itself - it is where Gnome Splash used to be. Is it possible to change the color of that screen ??? I changed the color of GDM Login screen, but it has no effect on the "no-splash-screen"! Any idea? [08:19] are there any usability people around here whom i can talk to? [08:19] heh, I do web programming remotely, I'm very comfortable in a console. [08:19] i know this is off topic, but the linux mint channel has 7 people in it who apparently aren't talking. Does linux mint share the ubuntu repositories? do they have their own repos on top of that? or what? [08:19] pajamian: is that easy to learn to do? [08:19] yea i wish i could get the hang of vim [08:19] Gpalco: Perhaps you'll find it in the gnome-splash settings, if gnome-splash is still integrated but just set to invisible :P [08:19] i would do the console edity thing [08:19] PLEASE! Do not feed this troll arjuna! He's asking the same questions for a while in several channels. [08:19] vim = sex, except i'm still having it after my girlfriend left me [08:19] lol [08:20] the only editor i understand is nano [08:20] :P [08:20] * genewitch can't use vim, no Q key on the laptop!!! [08:20] CentHOGG: define easy [08:20] * genewitch is a dyed in the wool emacs fan [08:20] Ademan, ubuntu and mint are not connected officially as far as i know, so i suppose they dont share anything except a lot of source code :-) [08:20] Pajamian: A task done without too much of a struggle. [08:20] pajamian: something that doesn't cause table pounding frustration :P [08:20] stefano_: huh, for some reason i thought mint relied on ubuntu's repositories, but if not, meh, thanks [08:21] arjuna: Nero Burning Rom [08:21] Or rather, "done without too much of a struggle." [08:21] LoL, I've had lots of table pounding frustration in my time, so I guess that's no. [08:21] Pajamian: A task with minimum risk of PEBCAK [08:21] arjuna is a bot/troll guys... he's asking the same question in multiple channels [08:21] so, noone here is into usability? [08:21] stefano_: What do you mean? [08:21] ok, I've got a ssh console open from this computer now, so this should be much easier ... [08:22] Zorlin, well i'm a developer and i work on something, and now i have a hard time deciding how to implement one specific thing, and my solution really sounds bonkers so i thought i'd try to find someone maybe from the openusability project or someone who's into this topic [08:23] desertc: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53276/ [08:23] specifically about how to implement a more advanced Undo / Redo, because the one we're all used to really is terrible [08:23] Stefano_: I'm pretty new at Linux, so I might not be the best candidate [08:23] stefano_ what about it do you want to fix? [08:23] :P [08:23] that's just the end, I can copy/paste the entire thing if need be [08:23] if I have a remote server running smtpd and I want to access it via a ssh tunnel I would create the tunnel from my local desktop to the remote server, or on the remote server itself from port X to port 25? [08:24] juso if it's a routed port, either should work [08:24] Zorlin, if you undo something, then type text, you can't redo. so your version you had a couple of seconds before undoing is lost [08:24] thats what annoys me [08:24] hmmmm [08:24] stefano_ do you have a working model? [08:24] especially when programming/debugging [08:24] it'd probably be a bit annoying. [08:24] yes i think so, but as i said it might not be as good as i think [08:24] what was your solution? maybe just copy whatever you undid to the clipboard or something [08:25] stefano_ seems like the best idea woul... yah, sorta what zorlin says [08:25] Or you could make a variable or at least the equivalent of a variable in whatever language you are using [08:25] you could add to it multiple layers of undo clippings... sorta like a macroed control X [08:25] and then temporarily store the change you are undoing, and then have redo call it [08:25] here's my idea: if you undo, then type, then redo, your chanes get undone step by step until youre at the point before you typed in other text, from then on you have a normal redo, if you can understand that (as i said it sounds bonkers). do you think it would feel right? [08:26] sounds like photoshop's history tab === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [08:26] am i correct in saying that? [08:26] Stefano_: It might. [08:26] NightKhaos> where can i find a .deb file for k3b? [08:26] Stefano_: But how about: Make undo store the changes in a variable, then have redo call it from the variable and then clear the variable. [08:27] who took my nick? i like that nick very much [08:27] The variable is only used by undo/redo so chances are you won't have problems :P [08:27] Zorlin, i take a different approach on undo/redo, i want to save difference-information with every letter you type so that you can go back in time in your document up until the point it was created, even after saving [08:28] stefano_: sounds like you want a sort of branching undo history, where you don't loose your changes but they could be saved into a "branch" and you could switch branches later on, etc. [08:28] that sounds good [08:28] pajamian i called it a branching tree heirarchy, in a msg to him [08:28] it's like photoshop history with "snapshots" of time [08:28] a tree hirarchy [08:28] thats exactly what i need [08:28] Stefano_: Somehow I think Pajamian/Genewitch's suggestion would work better :) [08:29] Good luck, and hope it all works out for you :P [08:29] Anyone else need help/ideas? [08:29] Stefano, grab you an opensource editor's source code and get to hacking [08:29] thanks genewitch [08:29] I'll betatest for you! [08:29] I tend to think of it ... if you've ever worked with a revision control system such as CVS, as branches in that, you can go back to prior revisions and branch off and the other branch you were on is not lost. [08:29] well all that is for the windows platform [08:29] that's a good analogy, pajamian [08:30] just nobody uses pascal in linux anymore and my project is pascal related :-) [08:30] you know what no one uses anymore? FORTRAN. [08:30] but godspeed to your pascal project [08:30] anymore, I thought it wasn't until fairly recently that there even was a decent pascal compiler for Linux. [08:30] good point [08:30] pascal? [08:31] wow, havent heard of that since school [08:31] i think about a year ago, i had the only usable pascal ide [08:31] of course, I'm not sure why anyone would use pascal on any platform, heh [08:31] unop: That command returned [1] 16210 gnome settings daemon: no process killed [08:31] but then i discovered geany, but on the windows platform, mine is still #1 _> [08:31] desertc: did you see my paste? [08:31] how do I get back into the menu from the command-line grub? [08:32] escape [08:32] I'd like to investigate some things, then go back to the nice edited menu [08:32] wow [08:32] :-) [08:32] if you edited anything, b to boot after hitting escape [08:33] k guys i'm going to be working, thanks for your help, appreciate it very much, bye [08:33] will maps and such remain as the foundation for the menu-ized entries? === stefano_ is now known as stefano|work [08:33] Jaggz- just for that boot [08:33] right, great. [08:33] Jaggz- you have to edit menu.lst to make it perminate [08:33] I'm having a hell of a time getting my 3rd drive to boot (linux on it).. first 2 drives are raid0 [08:33] is there a channel for non-english speakers learning english [08:33] webster.com? [08:34] iceman, www.voycabulary.com [08:34] what language do you speak? [08:34] chinese [08:34] nowadays there are plugins.. but without those, starting from back in the day, voycabulary was awesome [08:34] oh here's a question. anyone heard of an open/closed source locationfree server (for sony's silly clients) [08:35] I think I provide an English -> Chinese dictionary [08:35] Does anyone know how can I port-forward my router in Ubuntu gutsy for deluge.? [08:35] gene, server for what? [08:35] locationfree [08:35] oh.. thought that was a term for a decentralized network :) [08:35] lets you stream video to PSPs and windows and macs and stuff [08:35] Jaggz-, you mean you can speak eng and chinese either [08:36] iceman, voycabulary would only be for reading webpages [08:36] i use media tomb [08:36] haven't got it working right for ps3 though [08:36] iceman, you want a #ubuntu-with-english-and-chinese-is-okay-too channel? I'm far from an expert on the ubuntu channels :) [08:36] it's for the psp my girlfriend has [08:37] dunno.. maybe vlc? [08:37] gene [08:37] Jaggz-, no i just want to learn english [08:37] Yeah that's all hacky though (psp side). i don't want to accidently brick her psp trying to get video to work :-) [08:37] Zorlin, What is the command to restart Ubuntu networking deamon ??? [08:37] iceman, ohh. [08:38] iceman, the only thing i can think of that will help you learn english is to watch english television and maybe pick up a copy of rosetta (language software) [08:38] Gpalco: Erm, not too sure... [08:38] Gpalco: I always use: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:38] nm-manager-applet or something is its name, right? [08:38] are there any currently reported issues with the partitioning system in the current stable ubuntu releases? i;m seeing a lot of stupidity [08:38] genewitch, thank you for advice,but i haven;t had enough time,i need to work [08:39] Genetics, by the way,what is rosetta,what is it for [08:40] pajamian, thank you [08:40] iceman: Rosetta Stone is a series of foreign-language educational software programs [08:40] Gpalco: yw [08:40] smackywolf, is this on the live CD? [08:40] ~faq [08:40] unop: yup. it's not seeing unpartitioned space on one ntfs partitioned disk or on the EXT3 partitioned one [08:40] scguy318, you know this software,does that mean, that you are not native speaker [08:41] unop: also, gparted doesn't see it either. [08:41] ehlo [08:41] iceman: I am a native speaker, but I know what it is because I have seen advertisements for it [08:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KZWoGX1cb8 <--- How do I watch this? [08:41] I get this message when trying to enable Compiz Desktop Effects : "Composit extention is not available" What does it mean? Isn't Compiz installed by default ??? I use an ATI video - is it the problem? [08:41] smackywolf, errn, unpartitioned space on a ntfs partition? doesn't seem to make sense :) [08:41] Gpalco: ATI is a problem :P you probably want to fiddle with XGL [08:42] iceman: I wish I wasn't a native speaker, my command in my other language isn't as great as in English [08:42] unop: one disk has an NTFS part and free space, the other has the same but with EXT3 [08:42] it's not seeing any of the free space [08:43] scguy318, is it good,or did you hear someone used it,got progress?and most important,is it free? [08:43] scguy318, thank you. so just wait for a new driver release ? [08:43] smackywolf, so does the paritioner report the first parition as taking up all the space on the disk ? [08:43] yep [08:43] I'm a bit confused. My grub install worked.. but when I boot it seems like grub uses the bios' recognition of drives instead of Linux' recognition [08:43] there's two disks. it's doing the same to both [08:43] Gpalco: well, not that, you'll have to install XGL and do other things [08:43] !xgl | Gpalco [08:43] Gpalco: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [08:43] first off.. is this true? (I think it is) [08:43] Gpalco: something like that [08:43] smackywolf, I'd report a bug if i were you -- and use something else in the meantime to partition the disks [08:43] iceman rosetta is language learning software. they teach you a language like you're a kid learning it for the first time. meaning very little translation to your native language. it's quite awesome. [08:44] how I can make maildir/ for ldap with virtual user accounts? right now it's mbox [08:44] unop: cool. thanks. I was wondering if anyone had seen it [08:44] iceman: I hear it's a good program, though you shouldn't take me as the final word, it is unfortunately not free, though there are demo distributions [08:44] scguy318, thank you. got it now [08:44] Hi ! [08:44] smackywolf, to be honest .. i dont like the partitioner and setup on the live CD -- could be much better [08:44] with local database and virtual users it's maildir [08:44] Gpalco: ATI needs to shape up else everyone will defect to NVIDIA :P [08:44] damn [08:44] smackywolf: are you seeing a different amount of formatted space in windows than you see in the partition editor? [08:45] wrong chan [08:45] :) [08:45] unop: eh, it's ok. i miss the old curses debian installer [08:45] genewitch: I'm presuming iceman's native language is Chinese via his whois [08:45] smackywolf, you got the alternate CD for that [08:45] smackywolf: try the alternate install CD, then [08:45] Do you know how to clean printing head for a canon i560 printer ? is ther a generic tools ? [08:45] pajamian: nope. partition magic can see the unformatted stuff. but the parted part can't/ [08:45] canon... call them they'll tell you [08:46] pajamian: it's like the unpartitioned areas don't exist [08:46] Can OpenOffice.org database of words autocompletion be backed up and imported into new Ubuntu install so long words completion options would be automatically offered when typing. I love this feature, but it starts all over with each reinstall/ Please.... [08:46] LoL [08:46] !php [08:46] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:46] g011um it's different for every printer, but there's a key combination you hold down to get a hardware clean and reset [08:46] channel [08:46] ok, so that partitioned areas are showing the correct amount of space? [08:46] g011um: on Windows I know you'd fire up their little printer maintenance tool then initiate cleaning, but on Linux i dunno [08:46] pajamian: yup. the partitioned space, at least. [08:46] smackywolf, partition magic does funny things that some other partitoners can't deal with -- did you setup intitial partitions with PM? [08:46] smackywolf: how many partitions do you have on the drive currently? [08:46] channel #zero [08:46] unop: oh god Partition Magic :) [08:46] unop: nope, i tried PM after this wouldn't work [08:47] partition magic [08:47] scguy318, you can "oh god" again :) [08:47] yep in fact the only way i found is to use turbo print only for these maintenance tasks [08:47] ping g0llum [08:47] so no command line tool ? [08:47] pajamian: there's two drives. one partition on each with free space remaining, unpartitioned. there's no hardware problem, at least that SMART can see [08:47] g011um i am thinking of epson, not canon. did you check the user guide on canon.com? [08:48] smackywolf there's generally a small amount of unpartitioned space left over (on the magnitude of megabytes) [08:48] yes. for epson there is a tools include in kde... but not for canon :( [08:48] plus, i've tried with kubuntu, ubuntu, and mythbuntu of the current 7.10. all the same [08:48] hello, how to share files by networking? I can ping them, but can't trade(exchange) files [08:48] ok, then not what I was thinking. [08:48] genewitch: yeah. in this case, it's not small. it's 30 gig and 20 gig respectively [08:48] smackywolf, tried anything else other than 7.10? maybe even a different distro? [08:48] smackywolf are you trying to not lose data on the partitions? [08:49] often a song tends to get "stuck" on totem movie player and i'm not able to turn it off, unless i shut off the entire computer. Is there another appropriate way to handle this problem? [08:49] unop: anything not debbased doesn't like this machine, other than suse. [08:49] smackywolf, actually -- what does fdisk -l from the live CD report? [08:49] napster^: you could do it client-server way and have one server run an sshd, or you could use Samba or NFS [08:49] genewitch: yup. i'm considering wiping the windows partion [08:49] !samba | napster^ [08:49] file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch : How can I determine the filenames of my 'Device Information Files'? I believe that /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/ does not contain all necessary 'Device Information Files'. [08:49] napster^: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [08:49] unop: nothing. [08:49] smackywolf: prefix with sudo [08:50] smackywolf, aye, sudo that [08:50] sudo make me_a_sandwich === NicoTux2_ is now known as NicoTux2 [08:50] bullgard4, have you tried that gnomevfs command without prefixing sudo? [08:50] reports the correct amount of on primary disk, thought the end block seems a little off [08:51] genewitch: I guess we both read xkcd :P [08:51] got dc ;( [08:51] of the partition, i mean [08:51] !samba | napster^ [08:51] napster^: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:51] napster^: or NFS [08:51] i installed kubuntu [08:51] but now im in tty 5 mode [08:51] how do i change back to normal [08:52] bullgard4, yea, i'm having big problems with freenode today -- repeated disconnect()s [08:52] smackywolf: you can always wipe and re-create your partition table. If you do it right you shouldn't loose any data, though that is a very dangerous operation data-wise. [08:52] why do I want to spend time getting my system to boot into linux when I have my server, already in linux, right next to me and I can just ssh into it and get work done? [08:52] jhend60: X runs on tty5, what do you mean? [08:52] jhend60: ctrl-alt-F7 [08:52] scguy318, you do not need to ,i have said that before,did not i [08:52] I learned today that my laptop cannot boot off a flash drive :-) [08:52] ok i will try it [08:52] pajamian: that sounds a little daunting. i've never wiped and restored data before o.o [08:52] jhend60: i stand corrected [08:52] i mean its a console now i want GUI again [08:52] thanks guys, I'll try that [08:52] iceman: ? [08:52] my dvd drive is not recognizing my dvd rw cds. it just let the light on for a long time!! what's wrong? [08:52] hi is it possible to change the order nautilus download files? If I have a folder with 10 files named 1-10, nautilus start with 10 [08:52] jhend60 alt ctrl f7 [08:52] jhend60: try ctl+alt+F7 [08:52] jhend60: ctrl-alt-F [08:53] smackywolf, any possibility of !pastebin-ing the output of fdisk -l? [08:53] iceman: oh, I must have missed that, this is a busy channel [08:53] ok thanks [08:53] unop: sure, this room got one?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [08:53] is there still an svgatextmode? [08:53] Jaggz-: yeah [08:53] cool [08:53] not much like good ol' console. [08:53] Where is the installation path of Mozilla? [08:54] iceman: for what? [08:54] now it is all black with a flashing line [08:54] iceman: rosetta software will allow you to learn many languages as if you were born in that country as a kid [08:54] BetaTest: dpkg -L name_of_package_to_list_install_files [08:54] okay.. I'm off to focus on me work!

[08:54] ctrl alt F7 doesnt work ps i have kubuntu [08:54] as I'm really not sure what it means [08:54] pajamian what is it? [08:54] Does anyone have a link to a guide on how to encrypt an entire drive with truecrypt and use ext3? [08:55] Jaggz- logging isn;t allowed on this network anyhow [08:55] jhend, alt-f7? [08:55] Jaggz-: BetaTest: dpkg -L name_of_package_to_list_install_files | Can you explain that? o.O [08:55] genewitch: I'll pull it up, one min ... [08:55] pastebin- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53279/ [08:55] BetaTest, at a terminal -- dpkg -L mozilla-firefox [08:55] pajamian just the general problem, so i can say if i can help :-) [08:55] Beta, like.. dpkg -l '*firefox*' see name of package you want, then dpkg -L mozilla-firefox [08:55] Ah, thank you [08:55] I've been using linux for 14 yearses! [08:56] you got 4 years on me, jaggz [08:56] actually, 6, i started in BSD [08:56] genewitch, i see that you strongly recommend that thing, so i will google it,thank you [08:56] yep, I'm just pulling it from my keyboard history rather than re-typing it... [08:56] iceman i learned japanese using it (nihongo text, though) [08:56] unop: "gnomevfs-copy smb://md97600/freigegebenMD /home/detlef; Failed to copy smb://md97600/freigegebenMD to /home/detlef; Reason: Access denied" [08:56] well, gparted made something slightly better. i resized one drives parition (the windows one) and now i'm just missing about 6 gig [08:56] jhend, usually alt-f# changes console.. alt-f7 is usually where X is. within X you usually need ctrl-alt-F# to view one of the text consoles. [08:56] ok, I'm still having problems ... here's what's happening ... I've installed ubuntu gutsy and it boots up fine, then I run the upgrades and it freezes with a blank screen after logging in (blank is background color with mouse pointer that can be moved) so I think one of the packages that was upgraded is causing problems. Is there a way I can "downgrade" all those packages back to the base version without having to re-install ubuntu aga [08:56] in? Then I can experiment with a divide and conquor approach to find out which package is causing the problem? [08:56] well, you have bsd experience over me :) [08:57] I started in QNX several years before linux, actually.. but I didn't do any admin work so I really didn't learn anything (it was at my work) [08:57] Jaggz-: did you start with rh4.2 to? =) [08:57] no, slackware [08:57] pajamian one second [08:57] I don't think rh was around when I started linux [08:57] ok [08:57] I started with RH5.2, I think [08:57] sure was [08:58] RH was earlier then slack iirc [08:58] bullgard1, you sure you got the right permissions on the share \\md97600\freigegebenMD [08:58] ? [08:58] oh hey, and i think PM might be the culprit here. only problem is how to fix it. i get unrecognised disk label errors from gparted when I run it from cl [08:58] what's up with logging into grub and cat /etc/shadow? [08:58] Jaggz-: worked with embedded real-time stuff? [08:58] which is odd, seeing as the problem was around before PM [08:59] scguy, no.. multi-line bbs in L.A. [08:59] bullgard1, i don't see "access denied" being applicable to your $HOME dir .. have you tried smbmount/smbget to trouble shoot this? [08:59] pajamian upon cursory inspection, it appears that flyback et al are your best choice [08:59] Jaggz-: interesting [08:59] but nothing doing about reverting installed packages [08:59] flyback? [08:59] smackywolf, how big is the parition at /dev/sda1 ? [09:00] pajamian if it's an x issue, try getting the xorg package that everyone spams in here... anyone know it? the one that resets your xorg.conf? [09:00] mavi, I have some RH systems still, to this day.. but they're being replaced .. well.. not really -- I'm chatting :) [09:00] ceck connection [09:00] pajamian http://code.google.com/p/flyback/ [09:00] unop: No, I am not sure. Because I do not know how do you define "the right permissions". The file 'config' which I am trying to access, has the mode 0644. [09:00] unop: i guess you mean hda1/ [09:00] smackywolf, aye,. sorry [09:00] I installed this ext-fs program in windows, and thus far it's wonderful [09:01] unop just disclosed he has too much money. [09:01] went in, in XP, and edited my grub.lst :) [09:01] okay.. well I'm going to go.. gotta work on this stuff [09:01] unop: atm, something like 63.50, there's a second partition now that's 11.03 [09:01] Jaggz-: that dirty hack can break things [09:01] it's useful though [09:01] uhoh [09:01] knoppix can do the same thing, can't it? [09:01] Jaggz- [09:01] ta ta gene [09:02] scguy, before I go.. do you work with embedded systems? [09:02] Jaggz-: it can break things, but i've been using it about a year with one minor issue in that time which was simple to resolve. so don't stress too much [09:02] thanks :) [09:02] bullgard1, shared folders can have share-level (smb) permissions + whatever permissions are set on the filesystem (by ntfs, extx, etc) .. you should see if that shared folder is freely accessible first [09:02] genewitch: any chance of possibly being able to troubleshoot the problem from the other end? desertc was gonna have a look at my messages log to see if anything jumped out. [09:02] genewitch, how did i disclose my financial status here eh? :> [09:02] I'd like this ventilator company to provide options to vary the rate of breathing [09:02] smackywolf Jaggz-: i'd imagine screwing with NTFS in linux is a lot more dangerous than screwing with ext3 in windows [09:03] Themes doesn't exist in my System menu, how can i get it? [09:03] genewitch: *shrugs* tool was made by OSS devs. so it's not much different [09:03] guys, what's the apt-get command to reset xorg? [09:03] unop: I need to inform myself about smbmount/smbget before I can answer your question. But please note: File transfer works all right in the opposite direction without my deeper knowledge of smbmount/smbget. [09:03] smackywolf, from what i can see, you have some free-space at the end of the disk -- it just doesn't show up in the paritioner because a parition hasn't yet been defined [09:03] gene, there's some positive thing to learn about privacy of your own internal workings.. but I'm not sure what it is. [09:03] unop: technically it should show as free space, hrm? [09:03] !faq [09:03] A list of common questions and answers about Ubuntu: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions - Official documentation: http://help.ubuntu.com - IRC FAQ: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage [09:04] smackywolf no, if it hasn't been actively partitioned it won;t [09:04] unop: oh, wai. nevermind [09:04] * smackywolf nods to genewitch [09:04] I guess people don't rely on my private things right? [09:04] nvm it's "appearance" :| [09:04] well, what's a good tool to fix that with? fsck doesn't want to know about it [09:04] is there an irc network that automatically msg's you spelling corrections? [09:04] I mean.. I don't need it myself. ;} [09:04] pajamian i'd be willing to lay money on it being an xorg.conf issue. i'd love to help you, but i am trying to get drunk. logs are not conducive to that activity [09:05] Jaggz-: not that i know of. but some clients (like xchat) can have spelling checkers [09:05] so so sorry. :-( [09:05] Jaggz- write one :-) [09:05] heh [09:05] LoL, ok genewitch, thanks anyways [09:05] I'd love to get into AI but I never have [09:05] Jaggz-: you can test it on my irc network XD [09:05] unop: My remote smb.conf file includes a line "read only = no". [09:05] were I to do something I'd want it to be more than simple spell checking [09:05] I'm not sure why we don't have AI bots all over irc [09:06] Jaggz-: like destroy the world? [09:06] I have xitrix mini-frame(originally installed with ubuntu) computers and, Some in bios hard disk can be detected, while others can't. Now, when hard disk can be detected WinXP can be installed, if not Windows cannot continue. [09:06] Jaggz- it wouldn't be AI, it'd be simple search and run a macro. but it'd invade privacy a bit [09:06] maybe what I need to do is install again and make a copy of my xorg.conf before upgrading [09:06] Jaggz-: because they are annoying and people abuse them [09:06] well.. the spelling one would be standard (however standard spell checking works).. [09:06] What package do I need to install so I can "make xconfig" for kernels? [09:06] pajamian: just look around in your xorg directory. you may find there's automatically backup copies [09:06] levenshtein distance? [09:06] actually, I bet the package that changed it may have made a copy [09:06] yep [09:06] ok i fixed the prob i set the bits to 32 manually [09:06] smackywolf, did you get my last posts? [09:07] that was my problem [09:07] they should be better than levenshtein (that's the only one I've had any experience with :) [09:07] Jaggz- a program loads a hastable with all the properly spelled words and compares each block of text to the hashtable, if there's any mismatches, you'd trigger a /msg to the user [09:07] un0p: nope. if they were pm'd i'm not reg'd === smackywolf is now known as Smacky_Wolf [09:07] Jaggz- i could write a bot in java in about 40 minutes [09:07] smackywolf, well, that would depend on the partitioner (i guess) and/or it's implementation [09:07] smackywolf, i'd try creating a new partition with fdisk if i were you [09:07] gene, cool.. make them correct it themselves :) [09:07] bullgard1, share access (smb/cifs atleast) works only unidirectionally -- if you can access a remote share freely, it doesn't mean the same is true vice-versa [09:07] TransWorldIRC: Chat in any language [09:07] un0p: sounds like a plan. but fdisk won't touch my other disk at all [09:07] pajamian you chasing a rabbit now (bug)? [09:08] pajamian: take a dive around /etc/X11/ [09:08] Smacky_Wolf, not unless you intentionally delete the partition [09:08] tell me, what should you do before you give someone an idea? [09:08] who knows, I'm just praying it's not hardware, I've already replaced the HDD and RAM on this bos. [09:08] smacky try doing a knoppix-std boot or something and see if you can't at least back it up before repartitioning [09:08] I have xitrix mini-frame(originally installed with ubuntu) computers and, Some in bios hard disk can be detected, while others can't. Now, when hard disk can be detected WinXP can be installed, if not Windows cannot continue. [09:08] Smacky_Wolf: I'm looking, only 1 file resembling xorg.conf in there [09:08] and that's xorg.conf [09:08] genewitch: there's windows on there already. [09:08] like, they stole my car-brake energy reclamation idea -- putting the energy of braking into battery storage [09:09] pajamian: awh. fail x.x. nothing like 12.3.07xorg? [09:09] napster^, that's a question to ask in ##windows [09:09] an1 no how to fix huge text on login screen on kubuntu? [09:09] jhend60 after you log in does it look normal? [09:09] yes [09:09] hello [09:09] just logon screen(KDM) [09:09] (which would, I imagine, lessen the load of the alternator and thereby indirectly saving fuel) Or in the case of electric vehicles the return is obvious. [09:09] I have a problem [09:10] pajamian: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg - may fix your issues. it'll take you to the curse based conf thingy [09:10] I was wandering where can I install the latest drivers for Intel 945 [09:10] Smacky_Wolf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53280/ [09:10] I want to run crystal space [09:10] but it seems to be a driver issue [09:10] that I can solve [09:10] rne1224 [09:11] yeah [09:11] get xorg video server thing [09:11] it has the drivers for that series [09:11] i just got it [09:11] gene, thanks for sharing the spelling-error finder method.. so simple. [09:11] ill get link [09:11] !enter [09:11] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:11] jhend60 :-p [09:11] how many buckets would you use?? [09:11] jhend60: thanks ....let me try that [09:11] Jaggz- buckets? you mean hashtables? [09:11] is, perhaps, some type of tree even more efficient? [09:11] how many buckets in the hash table [09:12] un0p: I know that the file transfer is unilateral. But I have set up my Samba in the LAN without any reference to smbmount and smbget, and it works in one direction. I have told you the relevant smb.conf's attribute. -- man smbmout: "smbmount is deprecated and not maintained any longer." Why do you recommend it to me? [09:12] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/xserver-xorg-video-intel [09:12] perhaps a percentage of the total vocabulary count [09:12] Jaggz- for the dictionaries i've used, java can do a full hashtable search in about .03 seconds [09:12] !vmware [09:12] 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 [09:12] If you code it in C, you'd get it in about a tenth of that [09:12] jhend60: thanks so much...you save me from dual booting into windows [09:12] :) [09:12] yeah, I'd be doing it in C [09:13] hi [09:13] Smacky_Wolf: ok, I ran that and am now rebooting... [09:13] jhend60: do you run crystal space? [09:13] guys [09:13] i am a noob... [09:13] bullgard1, just as a means of troubleshooting, thats all -- if you can access the remote share and copy files locally with smbmount/smbget, then you can rule out errors with the network and permissions [09:13] i need ur help [09:14] jhend60: what kind of card are you using? [09:14] Whats crystal space? i just downloaded kubuntu off their site [09:14] Intel 915M [09:14] mobile [09:14] !grub [09:14] 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 [09:14] Smacky_Wolf: no dice, still same problem :-( [09:14] just got xorg video drivers for intel [09:14] ok...thanks [09:15] jhend60: crystal space is a 3d game engine [09:15] oh [09:15] is cool... [09:15] well i probably dont have it [09:15] ill try ctrl alt numpad key [09:15] hey is there a way to get a "cleaner" list of the packages you have installed than dpkg -l ? [09:16] GREP IS YOUR FRIEND [09:16] grep? [09:16] iam new to all this and i use kubuntu [09:16] mmm grep [09:16] I have xitrix mini-frame(originally installed with ubuntu) computers and, Some in bios hard disk can be detected, while others can't. Now, when hard disk can be detected WinXP can be installed, if not Windows cannot continue. [09:16] jhend60: it's a command line tool to search for text *basically* [09:16] oh. i forget sometimes that you new people like graphics. i have no clue how to show you what programs you have installed [09:16] so...is anyone out there that is running crystal space in Gutsy with Intel 945 [09:16] ? [09:16] jhend60 add/remove programs, click the radio button that says "installed" [09:17] rather than available or all [09:17] Ademan: I think you can get a list of installed packages from synaptic [09:17] How do I see the Kernel I'm using? [09:17] heh, windoze "converts" [09:17] Ademan, dpkg -l | cut -c 3-20 | grep -i keyword [09:17] pajamian: suck x.x try apt-get remove xorg --purge or some such? [09:17] BetaTest: lsb_release -a, or uname -a [09:17] uname -a will get you it, and more [09:17] Many thanks [09:18] * Smacky_Wolf isn't really sure, had to mess around with xorg for ages in the early days, and then confing it got reallly easy [09:18] ummmm, ok, then install it again, I guess? [09:18] * Smacky_Wolf nods [09:18] but purge [09:18] so...is anyone out there that is running crystal space in Gutsy with Intel 94 [09:18] un0p i knew you'd know, somehow [09:18] BetaTest: sorry.. lsb_release doesn't say what kernel you're using.. uname -a will though [09:18] I suppose I can comment out the updates repos in the sources.list to get the older version from the CD too. [09:18] pajamian: purge, just in case you don't know, will kill conf files. and recreate them [09:18] genewitch, know what eh? :) [09:18] un0p: lol, thanks, i was looking to avoid all that crap, i cobbled together a solution using awk, but i was wondering if there was an *easy* way, mostly because dpkg -l piles a bunch of crapola at the beggining (a bunch of pipes and slashes and stuff to "dress it up" i guess) [09:18] when you reinstall [09:19] you'd know how to use grep. you seem like an oldschooler [09:19] so...is anyone out there that is running crystal space in Gutsy with Intel 945?...please help [09:19] Smacky_Wolf: ok [09:19] rne1224: wait a couple of minutes before repeating.. people get annoyed if you spam to much [09:19] genewitch: i can grep and am not an oldschooler o.o [09:19] sorry [09:19] pajamian if there's something more i can do for you query me, i have a hard time backtracing the channel text [09:20] genewitch: ok, thanks [09:20] unop: did I miss anything from yo? i'm in my regged nick now, if you want to PM [09:20] un0p: just for the record, i discovered dpkg-query (which i think dpkg just backends to anyways) but there's a --showformat option that i can use to define the output format :-) [09:20] by the way I wasn't spaming, but it won't happen again [09:20] that goes for everyone, if i said i could help and i'm not responding query me [09:20] Smacky_Wolf, errm, i dont think i posted anything to you since last :) [09:21] un0p: cool. thanks for the assist =) [09:21] Ademan, there's also apt-show-versions [09:21] rne1224: hehe.. I was using spamming in a broad meaning [09:21] and to you other guys, too [09:21] cool [09:21] no problems :) [09:21] Smacky_Wolf, yw [09:22] * Smacky_Wolf goes digging to see if he can find a knoppix iso [09:22] un0p: The syntax of smbmount is "smbmount {service} {mount-point} [-o options]" What do I have to insert for '{service}'? [09:22] ok, rebooting again ... [09:23] bullgard1: I think that's the share name [09:23] bullgard1: or.. wait.. perhaps not.. nevermind [09:25] Smacky_Wolf i recommend knoppix-std [09:25] genewitch: i have V5 apparantly [09:25] bullgard1: here's an example smbmount //server/share /localdir -o username=user,password=pass,uid=500,gid=500 [09:25] Smacky_Wolf: nope, same thing still [09:26] bullgard1, you can accomplish something similar like this -- sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //host/share /media/mountpoint [09:26] un0p i've never had luck with that particular command, but i know that's correct... haven't had to use it in years [09:26] how can I see which program is using which port? [09:27] genewitch, yep, doesn't fuse help your poor brain from trying to remember which switch to which command and avoid going through manpages and such :) [09:27] un0p i just clicked "network" in the places menu and it came up [09:28] GeorgeA type "netstat" in a terminal window [09:28] genewitch, wait till you come across a desktop that does have a GUI or better, doesn't have "network places" :) [09:28] genewitch, thanks [09:29] GeorgeA that might not be what you're looking for... i'm trying to remember the local packet sniffer i used to use [09:30] GeorgeA let me know if that's what you want, if not i can recommend a few other programs [09:30] un0p: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31423/ This result is not different from the other two methods. [09:30] if my unit doesn't have samba in it, where can i download samba? [09:30] genewitch, what I want is a program that lets me know which program is using port X, because am trying to run shoutcast and it's telling me the port is being used, i want to know what's using it so i can close it [09:31] port 5800 is in use? [09:31] 8000 [09:31] bullgard1, you'll need to supply a username and password there -- refer to my last post to you for a howto [09:31] is the one shoutcast runs off of [09:32] GeorgeA there's no way to tell without having data being run through it [09:32] i think bullgard1's servers are crashing!!! [09:32] 8000 is an alternate web server port though [09:32] genewitch, lsof -i did the trick [09:33] GeorgeA cool, i'll write that down. what was the offending program? [09:33] split! [09:33] genewitch, apparently it was already running lol, but it was showing in my ps aux, which is weird. [09:33] jeez [09:33] WHOA! SPAMMERS!!! [09:33] crwlr, netsplit [09:34] georgea: netsplit? like a banana split? [09:34] genewitch, it's fine now, i restarted it :) [09:34] crwlr, true story [09:34] !netsplit | crwlr [09:34] crwlr: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:34] crwlr slightly less delicious than a banana split [09:34] that was lsof -l? [09:35] -i [09:35] i don't have lsof :-( [09:35] well i'm ready for a banana split! makin myself hungry... sudo mkme bananasplitwithicecream [09:35] su maybe [09:35] If my unit doesn't have samba in it, where can i download samba? [09:35] nope I didn't need to. [09:35] napster rpmfind.net [09:35] my laptop is running fedora [09:35] >.< [09:35] how? [09:35] !samba | napster^ [09:35] napster^: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [09:36] napster^ http://rpmfind.net [09:36] napster^, samba is available in synaptic [09:36] !rpm | genewitch [09:36] genewitch: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [09:36] dgjones: I'm already there. [09:36] genewitch, ah :) heh [09:36] genewitch: will try that. [09:36] napster^ evidently it's in synaptic... add/remove programs and toss it in [09:37] un0p: Adding -o and username and password still results in the same Access denied response. [09:37] genewitch, could the sniffer u used be: nmap? [09:37] bullgard1 can you connect to the share from another windows machine [09:37] GeorgeA nosir, it's one that's been ported to windows, though. it's on ym laptop's windows drive. ettercap will also work though [09:37] although ettercap is a lot more greyhat than the one i am thinking of [09:38] genewitch, wireshark? [09:38] GeorgeA could be :-) [09:38] hehe [09:38] genewitch: Not at the moment. My LAN consists at the moment of two laptops only and a router to ADSL. [09:38] for what, georgea? [09:38] bullgard1, if you are positive that you have the correct syntax for the commands you are using there -- then there's a definite problem with how your shared folder //md97600/freigegebenMD is setup -- very tight permissions or no user probably [09:38] bullgard1 or it could be a program blocking port 135/139 [09:39] crwlr, I just wanted to see which program is running on which port (lsof -i did the trick).. but now we're talking about sniffers [09:39] lots of stupid consumer firewalls block those ports for no good reason [09:39] i dont noe hwo to use my scanner [09:39] how* can anyone help me [09:39] ok, gonna have to just re-install and go from there, heh, I can't see any other way about it. [09:39] genewitch: How can I determine what prgram blocks port 135/139? [09:39] Anyone know the VGA code for Grub for 1440x900 resolution? [09:39] ahh...i use a different OS for that. trying to remember the name of it... [09:39] bullgard1 what OS is on the machine you're trying to get files from? windows xp? [09:40] Knoppix-std, crwlr [09:40] genewitch: Both machines run with Ubuntu 7.10 [09:40] kahrytan: google for vga display mode or something like that.. there are lists out there [09:40] no....genewitch...i cant think of it. hang on, let me look at my cd [09:40] un0p isn't there a better way than samba for two linux machins to share? [09:40] kahrytan: Mode 0x0365: 1440x900 (+5760), 24 bits [09:40] genewitch, i use nfs for between linux machines [09:41] bull do you have BOTH samba servers running? [09:41] genewitch: nfs or ssh both work... nfs has some security concerns though [09:41] NMBD and SMBD? [09:41] pewpewpew➲ so vga=0x0365? [09:41] genewitch, I don't consider anything better or worse off -- nfs is an alternative [09:41] backtrack 2 genewitch georgea [09:41] kahrytan: i think so [09:41] crwlr i'm reading [09:42] there's another one but i'd have to get the name of it and i cant find the cd [09:42] i'm not a 100%, so if its a life or death situation don't rely on me :} [09:43] anyone here had problems restarting X with ctrl+alt+backspace? the windows are closing but the computer hangs shortly afterwards [09:43] thelynx: none so far...got gutsy on there? [09:44] hi there, anbody knows how to run EUO on ubuntu? [09:44] crwlr, i had it.. but I'm not gonna install an OS for just one thing :P [09:44] crwlr: yep. gutsy. sadly on a hp laptop with amd64 with ATI radeon graphics [09:44] georgea: i just use the livecd [09:44] crwlr, yeah i guess livecd through a vbox would be fine :) [09:44] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31424/ doesn't set the permissions very tight, right? [09:44] thelynx: i have gutsy on a laptop with a p4 and an ati chipset, and i havent had any problems [09:45] that's how i run k-std, crwlr [09:45] okay [09:45] 7 milliseconds to look up one word [09:45] "hello" [09:45] with 100000 buckets [09:45] georgea: i didnt use vbox for that...hmmm...course i only set it up as a nat network so it wouldn't detect my network adapter [09:45] buckets? [09:45] in what language, Jaggz- [09:45] gene, hash tables store things in buckets [09:46] un0p: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31424/ doesn't set the permissions very tight, right? [09:46] crwlr, oh right.. forgot about that.. man bridging is a pain in vbox... [09:46] crwlr: everything else works. or well.. the graphics flickers etc etc and fullscreen video is only possible using xine. this due to poor amd drivers. still a known issue I suppose [09:46] I can't get direct rendering working on ubuntu 64. I have ATI x700 pro. When I do glxinfo | grep direct, I get a several similar errors, which look like this: libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/dri/r300_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/dri/r300_dri.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32) [09:46] it's possible to have some other method of handling collisions, but in general they use buckets. [09:46] what kind of laptop is it, thelynx? [09:46] Jaggz- yeah i get it, what language [09:46] crwlr: hp 6715s [09:46] ie. "hello" and "mumbojumbo" might hash to the same value [09:47] georgea: very true. only thing i vbox is winblows...whenever i need to [09:47] coded this in C [09:47] crwlr: amd64, ati radeon x1250 [09:47] thelynx: hmm...which drivers did you install? [09:47] crwlr, same here :) [09:47] 7 ms seems slow [09:47] used my existing library of hash tables.. I loaded /usr/share/dict/words into the hash table then timed looking up the word "hello" [09:47] java's default can do it faster [09:47] I also am using gettimeofday() to get the timing but I'm not sure how accurate it is.. this would be better off looking up multiple words [09:47] anyone know how i can get my scanner to work? [09:47] lemme pastebucket my source for some weird hash lookup, one second [09:48] Ssam: check if the scanner is supported by sane.. I think the url is www.sane.org... not sure though [09:48] Ssam: what brand and model scanner? [09:48] thelynx: ATI and linux go together like...nothing. ubuntu barely supports ati, so if you installed the restricted drivers and then the effects started happenin...then u gotta remove those [09:48] Ssam: sorry.. http://www.sane-project.org/ [09:48] crwlr: the ones from ATI. compiz works but the problem with ctrl+alt+backspace is new to me. been trying to find anything related to the problems on forums, but still confused. does this has something to do with the hibernate issue with ATI and linux? [09:49] hrmmm... [09:49] Jaggz- http://pastebin.com/m5f873d57 [09:49] microseconds, excuse me [09:49] crwlr: guess so. do you recommend using the open source driver? [09:49] that's some difference Jaggz- lol :) [09:49] did I say ms? :) [09:50] did you just code that up? [09:50] crwlr: can't do much with the hardware. using a laptop from work. otherwise I would returned it [09:50] thelynx: i dont recommend when it comes to ati. i had an ati in my desktop, and i got ticked off at it cause the effects wouldn't work. so...i ditched ati and went with nvidia. you will just have to check wikis and google variations of your problems because i'm not an expert with that [09:50] has anyone had any problems with ATI drivers on Ubuntu 64? [09:50] well i was there.....but it didnt help i dont noe how to install it its very complicated for me [09:50] Jaggz- nah that's old. million monkeys pounding for a million years simulator [09:50] extern: ATI and UBUNTU don't mix well [09:51] * genewitch is afk [09:51] extern: not just 64-bit.. ati takes some work, I understand [09:51] lol [09:51] hi,i like this channel ,and thank jaggz,genewitch,and all other people, [09:51] crwlr: ok. thanks anyway. it's just too bad with the ATI and linux issue. never had any major hardware/driver related problems before [09:51] crwlr, Slart: got any reference for that? (I'm thinking of getting an HP S3240, which I think has an ATI graphics card... :-( ) [09:51] ./dict 100000 hello there test how are you ..... Looked up 6 words in ms:1160 [09:51] has anyone got any useful links about ATI and ubuntu? [09:51] has the situation with ATI not improved in the newer driver releases? [09:51] of course, this is just some hash table implementation I got offline years ago and then modified like mad [09:52] I had it working some time ago, but I reinstalled ubuntu recently [09:52] bullgard1, what happens when you try this out? smbclient //server/share [09:52] extern: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page [09:52] it's faster with less buckets.. ! [09:52] bullgard1, also - http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id327959 [09:52] osfameron: I'm just going by the number of "ARRGGGHHSS".... and "STUPID PIECE OF S**T GRAPHICS CARD" questions we get here in this channel =) [09:52] osfameron: nvidia is a breeze to setup but if you get ati, then ur going to have to fight to install it. i would suggest getting one with nvidia. i threw my ati card in the garbage [09:52] thank you, I'll check it out [09:52] Slart: heh :-( [09:53] !ati | extern [09:53] extern: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:53] extern: that's the only one I know of [09:53] Slart, where are you from [09:53] the dictionary load-time is slower with less buckets.. with 100 buckets it takes several seconds (due to the inefficiency of adding entries to linked lists most likely) [09:53] afk [09:53] iceman: Sweden, why? [09:53] yeah. that link is useful [09:54] curiosity [09:54] I'm from sweden too... (btw) [09:54] Hi! We are having some troubles with our dhcp-server running on ubuntu server. We have two servers that share a scope of ip-addresses, but the clients get leases from both servers, at the same time (!). They also appaer several time in each servers lease-lists. They get the same IP from both. This creates problems for our thin clients session. Have anyone heard of this? [09:54] of course, i found out they blacklisted my ati card, so maybe i am just mad about that scenario. you all other ati users might have better luck [09:54] un0p: "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ smbclient //md97600/freigegebenMD; Password: ; session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" [09:54] well, the latest news as of a few months ago is that AMD is opening up the specs for ATI cards so here's hoping that we get some better drivers. [09:55] extern: it's not hopeless getting an ati card to work.. most people actually make it.. but it's just a little more work than nvidia or intel at the moment [09:55] pajamian: sounds like a good idea [09:55] yeah, I had it working some time ago [09:55] but I can't remember which guide I followed [09:55] iceman, glad to help [09:55] if I did [09:56] larsrohdin: you have 2 dhcp servers on the same net? didn't know you could do that.. [09:56] I would recommend intel if you're buying new, there are great OS drivers for that, but I wouldn't toss out an nvidia or ATI card that I already ahve. [09:56] Ive got question .. Does Ubuntu uSplash theme even support widescreen resolutions? [09:56] Slart: sure, they have half the net each [09:57] otherwise the fastest one gets the lease [09:57] but these should get half [09:57] larsrohdin: just out of curiosity.. how do the dhcp servers know which clients to serve? [09:57] bleh.. this ms timing is not accurate.. I'd need to avg this out [09:57] anyway, I'm done for now [09:58] I am kind of lame for writing this up :( [09:58] ATI is a pain if you want to actually use your card for anything [09:58] good fast-coding practice though [09:58] Slart: they dont, they serve the client thate requests [09:58] Jaggz- check out http://thedailywtf.com forums, they have speed challenges all the time :-) [09:59] the client requests and the server answers [09:59] my ATI card sometimes gives me problems.. it was refusing to rotate my display the 90 degrees I needed.. it would rotate it the opposite direction, and upside down, but not the proper way for rotating my monitor [09:59] pajamian: tweaked almost everything on this specific laptop regarding ATI. the only thing which seems to work out-of-the-box is the soundcard. [09:59] larsrohdin: ok.. turn that around.. how do the clients know which server to request an ip from? can you even specify that? [09:59] this is in XP .. with the catalyst control center thingamabob [09:59] it also sometimes doesn't switch resolutions [09:59] How can I limit downloading multiple files in bittorrent? [10:00] Slart: you can set a mac address in the server, so that they know if they should serve a client that requests it [10:00] cool get a real bt client [10:00] but [10:00] like azureus [10:00] ok this is somewhat off topic.... in a DNS record if it says preference .... is higher better or lower? [10:00] hey guys i have my computer set up really nice.. but it took me such a long time. So i was wondering is there anyway to back it up so if i ever crash and burn i can just load it up later after the installation? i have the following done icons, background, splash screen, gnome theme, login screen all customized. I would like to keep the apps and stuff to if thats possible, i have firestarter gkaiui and kaid. [10:01] i am updating kubuntu so i can fix the Huge Text Problem on login screen [10:01] Slart: then if one crashes alot of clients wouldnt get leases [10:01] !aptoncd | family [10:01] family: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [10:01] Any help anyone [10:01] ? [10:01] cool [10:01] i might get that [10:01] family: for similar reasons, but more technical environment, I refused to upgrade my OS for 2 and a half years :) [10:01] how do i use packages [10:01] such as intel xorg [10:02] how do i select the driver [10:02] larsrohdin: ok.. didn't know you could do that with dhcp.. thanks [10:02] * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb [10:02] family: do you have at least half your space available on your hard drive? [10:02] yea [10:02] :) [10:03] family: look up dd [10:03] you can create a disk image that way [10:03] dd? [10:03] so synaptic? [10:03] family: man dd [10:03] aww [10:03] okay [10:03] I'm not an expert, but it would be a good idea to have specific settings to use for specific laptops. to resolve known issues without tweaking [10:03] thanks genewitch [10:03] family it's a bit-by-bit copying thing. It's what i'd use if i cared about backing stuff up [10:04] oh yea i care alot [10:04] family: you might be able to find nifty WM GUI applications for it [10:04] this took me about 3 weeks [10:04] sounds stupid but it did :P [10:04] yeah you can dd /dev/hda1 to a file, then burn that [10:04] I would be more interested in something like rdiff-backup or a gui backup program [10:04] if you crash and burn, use a livecd to restore your HD [10:05] you type backup into the search in synaptic and you'll get loads of stuff. [10:05] aww [10:05] family: also look into flyby for linux (time machine) for preventing issues to begin with [10:05] :) [10:05] genewitch: flyback [10:05] pajamian thanks. i'm inebriated [10:06] sweet this is great information [10:06] np [10:06] im running 6.06 [10:06] and i refuse to goto 7.10 [10:06] pajamian and family: from what i can see, flyback is like GoBack for the windows [10:06] I've got the page open, so: http://code.google.com/p/flyback/ [10:06] :( [10:06] pajamian: I hope this fixes my current issue http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#System_freezes_after_logout_with_GDM_or_KDM.07UNIQ58d9d4b56617c561-nowiki-0000000C-QINU2.07UNIQ58d9d4b56617c561-nowiki-0000000D-QINU [10:06] I just set up ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 1505. My network card is the Broadcom BCM4328 802.11 and I can't figure out how to get my wireless working. Could anyone help me out? [10:06] TheLynx: good luck [10:07] hi, can anyone tell me why bittorrent says Couldn't listen (98,'Address already in use') when i start more than 1 torrent? [10:07] pajamian: ;-) [10:07] oblivious: if you have the latest version of ubuntu it should "just work" with the broadcom chipset. [10:07] used to be that you had to use ndiswrapper for it. [10:07] I have a question? when I play avi or mpg video I get audio but no video, just some horizontal lines any suggestions? [10:08] probably a codec problem? [10:08] I tend to use xine for my video playback [10:08] bullgard1, you're having problems with the samba setup on the remote machine -- I suspect it's with this line "guest account = nobody" - try commenting it out and restarting samba [10:08] pajamian: I have ubuntu 7.10 [10:08] and I had to get some windows codec pack a while back [10:09] oh, you're getting horizontal lines? maybe it's something else :) [10:09] I tried xine mplayer vlc [10:09] man.. I have to go.. [10:09] tried in windows too? [10:09] see if they work there.. but it's likely a codec thing [10:09] I have to go [10:09] oblivious: actually I should take that back, I think it will, I have a laptop with the broadcom chipset, but I haven't actually tried it yet. I know the latest kernels come with a driver for it as of about 2.6.17 or so so for a couple years now. [10:09] take care [10:09] well I don't have windows on here now. but it worked when I did have win === dn4 is now known as dn3 [10:10] pajamian broadcomm and atheros are supported [10:10] Does anyone have any experience using ant to build tomcat applications? === dn3 is now known as dn4 [10:10] un0p: this line "guest account = nobody" is commented out: It is prefixed with a ';'. [10:11] pajamian, i set up a laptop with broadcom 4306 drivers about 3 weeks ago, it worked easily enough using restricted drivers, but i had a wired conenction as well so it could install fwcutter and download the driver from the web as needed [10:11] dgjones: you needed restricted drivers? [10:11] pajamian, yes [10:11] bullgard1, restart the samba daemons - /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart and try the smbclient command again [10:12] that surprises me, the broadcom driver should be included with the linux kernel now. [10:12] !virtual machine [10:12] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [10:12] btw, it was no thanks to broadcom, they never helped linux out one bit. [10:12] !QEmu [10:12] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [10:12] pajamian, at least it detected the card and offered me the restricted driver, until i did that, it didn't do anything, I didn't try to get it working without restricted, I wanted a standard install anyway so it was easier for me [10:13] How do i get touchpad to be more sensitive? mouse senisitivity is almost on maximum but nothing is faster witj touchpad. [10:13] dgjones: fair enough, I just thought the driver was in the kernel now, but maybe it installed ndiswrapper with the windoze driver for you. [10:14] pajamian, i'm not certain whether it is in the kernel, i tought they'd just made it easier to install without needing to use ndiswrapper [10:14] it's possible that your particular chipset isn't supported by the kernel driver. === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [10:15] hej [10:15] ups, wrong channel [10:15] pajamian, possibly, although the card is one of the older broadcom [10:15] People, i need this file (evieproto) to configure xorg and then build the driver. but i can't find it anywhere. does anyone here know something about evieproto? [10:15] not able to change USB mouse to ps/2 mouse.. system is not recognising the mouse [10:16] please help [10:16] my firefox keeps closing [10:16] coolbhavi, so you have a USB2PS/2 connector in place? [10:17] yes [10:17] un_op [10:17] coolbhavi, try running reconfiguring xorg to use a ps/2 mouse -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorf [10:17] I dont understand why ant compiles to the build directory instead of the web directory [10:17] coolbhavi, sorry -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [10:19] hmmm, those ATI resources seem to suggest that 7.10 installs ATI Radeon drivers fairly smoothly these days [10:19] un0p: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31438/ Is this warning serious? On the other computer it does not appear. [10:19] Ok [10:19] bullgard1, that looks normal [10:19] bullgard1, it's meant to say that [10:20] !ant [10:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:20] bullgard1, actuall wait [10:20] un_op: The "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" persists.

[10:23] un_op: none, and dealt with [10:23] Slart, yes - in fat, it is the blank one... I haven't changed it.... i'll swap it to a short timeout and try a different one [10:24] headb0y: the torrent-clients all try to "reserve" the same port for incoming connections [10:24] Slart, I only *think* it's that, incidentally... could potentially be something to do with skype or xmms or conky too [10:24] bullgard1, sorry -- wrong location -- testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf [10:24] but it seems to be at 100% when i return after a few mins and screensaver has come on. i have to kill nautilus [10:25] SleepingSloth: I know skype has some hooks into the screensaver to let it go into away-mode when the screensaver starts to run.. perhaps try shutting skype down? [10:25] un_op: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31440/ [10:25] Slart, i'll report back in a few mins ;) [10:26] any drivers for ubuntu out there for the "creative network blaster wireless usb adapter model CW2231" [10:26] ?

[10:34] bullgard1, replace and accordingly [10:34] rne1224: no you have to follow the instructions ubotu provided you after I typed !grub in here [10:34] bod_: good luck, I just use rhythembox and happen to like it, but then I'm not one to care about nice looking interfaces and skins and themes and such.

[10:40] I have a panel PC with an AMD Geode LX display device, and a PenMount LCD touch screen. I'd like to be able to set the backlight brightness. My question is: is the backlight brightness managed by the display driver or by the touch screen's driver ?

[15:13] punkshui: Because if you are just trying to remount it elsewhere, you can do that with something like edit fstab to the new mountpoint, then: (sudo) mount -o remount /devname (not /mountname since it is different after editing the fstab) [15:13] ubud_ there is a re rolled deb if you're feeling brave [15:13] robd: how?

I can only get 'em running at boot as root at the moment. Any ideas? [15:18] ubud - ok then you can remove the plugin via synaptic or via the terminal - sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and then grab the deb listed in the second post of that page [15:18] Slart, ok [15:19] Slart, how do i change the default? [15:19] punkshui: Recovering the files on it will be possible if you have not deleted the partition or resized it. eg: the only change was to change the partition type or just umount it [15:19] Is there a way to open a file/change permissions as root without logging off? [15:19] CrazyWulf, yes [15:19] punkshui - in that case, i'm no expert, but i would have thought you could make one of your partitions into an extended one, and then put the remaining 2 partitions inside it [15:19] Hi. how to write the dvd?

In time. [15:33] Slart, it was just a nit picky thing,.,. it still works,.,. cheers dude [15:33] bod_: ah.. you running amarok on gnome? [15:33] ThipThip-> reading those orielly hacks maybe? heh [15:33] gksudo apt-get install beep-media-player [15:33] soma one can help me install intel 965 opengl?(3d) [15:34] Slart, indeedy [15:34] bkar: "orielly hacks?" The reference is lost [15:34] and get your skins for it on winamp , use classic skins [15:34] same* [15:34] ThipThip-> books..orielly hack books [15:34] Help! Someone is running a shutdown on my computer, and I don't know what to do. "Shutdown -c" gives me "shutdown: Cannot find pid of running shutdown" [15:34] bod_: might be some KDE stuff it isn't finding.. don't run it in a terminal and you won't see them =) [15:35] try halt [15:35] makasd0, disconnect from the internet then reconnect [15:35] makasd0-> too late if shutdown has been started [15:35] Slart, coolio, cheers [15:35] bkar: Ahh. Well I've just switched to Ubuntu a couple days ago, and I'm very, very exited about it, but now that the semester has begun, I'm not sure how much time I'll have to be an upstanding member of the community. Since I don't do much coding, I don't really know how I can help. [15:35] makasd0, killall shutdown? [15:35] bod_ incidentally, i stopped using amarok on gnome because it seemed a bit flaky. i tend to use xmms, but i have beep-media-player installed too [15:36] bkar: bod_: I am not at the server, I can only maange it from ssh [15:36] makasd0: yank the network cable from the computer.. and.. well.. run irc from another computer [15:36] bod_, maybe it's worth checking out one of them.. [15:36] SleepingSloth, i like amarok because of the gui [15:36] Slart: I'm not at the computer myself, I have ssh connetion to it though [15:36] what does the "Halt" command do? [15:36] brb [15:36] makasd0-> pid of shutdown? ps aux|grep shutdown [15:36] what means if when you go in places->network your computer is not there? [15:37] makasd0-> dont use halt, its very dangerous, it does not do any synching of disk [15:37] makasd0 - are you root or have root access? [15:37] I have root acces, but I lost connection, wait a moment [15:38] hi.anyone using linphone? [15:38] bkar - halt only dangerous of called with certain parameters - other wise it just calls shutdown [15:38] makasd0-> its too late to stop a shutdown process, [15:38] makasd0: well.. it's hard to keep someone out of the computer when you're connecting from the net yourself [15:38] shutdown -h now [15:38] robd-> make sure it is symlinked to shutdown, some systems have halt as separate command and very dangerous [15:39] shutdown -r now (reboot ) [15:39] this is the first exciting thing thats happened today [15:39] oh , and sudo afcause [15:39] :P [15:39] thats not what the man wants, he want to find out who started the shutdown process and attempting to stop it [15:39] bod_ fair enough - there are lots of alternatives, though amarok has the most potential imo. i just found it buggy. thiat was a while back now though... things change... [15:39] ah [15:39] hehe [15:39] bkar - true but I'm pretty sure it's been linked to shutdown in ubuntu for a while now... still and academic point as shutdown is a much more flexible option (and easier to remember :-) [15:40] grep? [15:40] what is the quicktime for unbuntu? [15:40] ubud: mplayer? [15:41] ubud - mplayer with certain nasty codecs [15:41] in /var/log , log files read of the server? [15:42] shouldnt there be a logfile showing who did the shutdown call [15:43] anyone have used apt-file ? [15:43] bod_: Yes [15:43] zoobox: I think I'm guilty of that.. some time long ago [15:43] genii, where is it then [15:43] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos gnomevfs; gnomevfs: nothing appropriate." Where can I find the manpage for 'gnomevfs-copy'?

Thout I was able to loch and unlock the screen - the desktop pannels don't get loaded. Ctrl+Alt_Backspace reloads the system, but it is all the same. Is there a way to restart t [15:44] hi all!

If they issued sudo to call it then /var/log/auth.log will show the call. Otherwise hae to go through each user's bash/sh history file in their ~ [15:49] bod_ yes, in the start the script gives also other errrors but this is all I could paste from terminal [15:49] Gpalco : Crtl+alt to reload again, and choose to shutdown then try again [15:49] richard_-> what? words like /dev/null ? sudo ? emblazoned on [15:49] bod_ but the script should create the folders, so I'm wondering why it does not [15:49] genii, could u help him ,.plz,. i have to leave ,. his paste bin is :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53329/ [15:50] non encumbered tux images?

[15:56] no not if it is a company environment [15:56] Otacon22: Well, this is not the proper channel for discussing it. But basically beowulf is a cluster of machines [15:56] if it a home environment then maybe [15:56] genii, a program? [15:57] genii could you check this pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53332/ [15:57] beowulfs are great instead of using routers... better security and faster operation [15:57] Otacon22-> you have been asked to google ..read up a bit more please..

[16:12] http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-on-linux/ [16:12] user05: Also you will need to download the firmware and untar it to /lib/firmware [16:13] igge - not really.

[16:14] igge: mac is posix compliant so apps that run on linux (many) will run on mac [16:14] Is anyone here using Ubuntu on a lenovo thinkpad t61? I'm doing some laptop shopping and I want to find a nice compatibile laptop [16:14] igge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-on-linux/ [16:14] How do [16:14] igge : http://mac-on-linux.sourceforge.net/ [16:14] sorry, howdo I figure out my password for sudo [16:14] robd: how do you mean? it shouldn't run under OSX's gui.. it should run on linux [16:14] how can I dual boot ubuntu server (7.10) and Windows XP? [16:14] igge: :) [16:14] there's nothing like WINE for os x apps [16:15] igge : yes [16:15] igge if you specify an app we can say [16:15] jorje_villafan: it is your user's password [16:15] !sudo > jorje_villafan (read the private message from ubotu) [16:15] bazhang: well.. the first app I would try if there wer such a solution would be flash [16:15] igge - sorry I meant programs that run as under Aqua (OSX's windowing software) some / most Mac command line apps can be convinced to run but not something that uses the GUI [16:15] heh [16:15] how can I dual boot ubuntu server (7.10) and Windows XP? [16:15] oops, had caps on. thanks [16:16] user05: Perhaps there is a simpler solution than the one which you have undertaken. Please give me the exact model name which is on your adapter [16:16] robd: ah yeah.. see what you mean.. true.. [16:16] QuickGold, read a guide about someone else doing it [16:16] QuickGold, unless you have a specific question, its kinda hard to explain it from front to back [16:16] neverblue: ive read guides about regular ubuntu desktop, but not server [16:16] genii dlink DWA-140 USB [16:16] but the fact that OSX is posix compliant should make it easier perhaps to write such an app? [16:16] so what do i have to do to make a non usbbootable bios boot from a floppy to a usbstick? [16:16] will ubuntu server do the nice partition thing that the desktop edition does? [16:16] [17:13] how can I ban a computer from connect via ssh to my computer? [16:16] igge - mac on linux kind of bridges the gap but last I checked it was only PPC (not i386) and was really designed fro Mac users who want to run linux as their primary OS [16:16] QuickGold, what do you feel might be different in a server setup than a desktop setup ? [16:17] user05: OK, I will get back to you in a few minutes. === |Aturner44|BNC| is now known as Craig` [16:17] igge - that said, the new vmware fusion can virtualise Mac OSX Server 10.5 so it's possible that something will come along soon [16:17] neverblue: I have the server disc ready as opposed to having to download 700mb to get desktop so I'm feeling lazy [16:17] robd: ok.. [16:17] QuickGold, so you dont think anything would be different then, what are you asking exactly ? [16:18] neverblue: I want to know if the partition portion of the install on ubuntu server will be the same as ubuntu desktop? [16:18] robd: would be an interesting open source project to start on.. :) if I had infinite amount of time [16:18] makasd0: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/87 [16:18] who would join me? :) [16:18] !ot [16:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:18] igge - it would indeed but I doubt apple would be too happy about it :-) [16:18] QuickGold, then yes, depending on how you 'think' a desktop partition should be setup [16:19] hi how do i list the files in external cdrom drive? [16:19] so I will be able to dual boot with ubuntu server and XP? [16:19] no problems with grub? [16:19] robd: true [16:19] <^root^> jetscreamer, any answer here then? [16:20] i inserted a game cd that contains CD tracks but i'm not able to see the files in it. how can i do that? [16:20] QuickGold, if you just leave grub alone, im sure everything will be fine, have you done your research? you seem to think a desktop and a server install are two totally different processes [16:21] neverblue: Ive installed both server and desktop and I know the desktop install is a little more....noob friendly?

[16:28] Lattyware, do you have a combination of SATA and IDE drives ? [16:28] Does anyone know of any Linux alternatives to SMAART? [16:28] neverblue, I do [16:28] I even have an extra IDE card [16:28] Tetracomm: package manager? [16:28] nevans: Yes. 2 SATA drives (Grub and Ubuntu on one of these), 2 IDE HDDs and 2 SATA DVD drives. [16:28] asdrubal, im replying to Lattyware's question [16:28] smaart [16:28] can anyone tell me where i can get the source code of Ubuntu? [16:29] !source > xman (read the private message from ubotu) [16:29] Xman: Don't repeat it so much. [16:29] bazhang: No, sound system measurement software. [16:29] Lattyware, I know what's wrong [16:29] Do tell. [16:29] Lattyware, in your grub menu, when booting without the cd.. [16:29] go to the boot line you want, hit e [16:29] No, I never get a menu. [16:29] then edit root (hd0,1) or whatever root is [16:29] Lattyware, i found with my IDE drive as my primary, that I would get errors at the beginning of the install, maybe look into the forums to see what others have attempted [16:29] Lattyware, then go into your bios [16:29] Lattyware, and change your boot order. [16:30] xman sorry no [16:30] Lattyware, i found that just keeping my partition that I am installing the OS on active, and unplugging the others worked to get the install [16:30] nevans, I am (as I said) using the SATA drive as the primary one. [16:30] asdrubal: No, Grub loads, but gives error 17 before I see a menu. [16:30] neverblue, I have already installed Ubuntu. This is the same system I have run for years. [16:31] user05: So tight now you another USB wifi adapter from ZyDas plugged into the usb, or only the D-Link? If the D-link is not plugged in please do that and then re-post to pastebin the lsusb -v [16:32] Lattyware, have you updated your bios recently? [16:32] Lattyware, have you looked up what error 17 is? [16:32] SleepingSloth: No. [16:32] asdrubal: Yes, Missing File/Partition. [16:32] Lattyware, im just letting you know that I have experienced the same issue, and what I did to over come it, its your choice to do what you like [16:32] Lattyware, is your /boot on a different hard drive from your boot disk? [16:32] Or something to that effect. [16:33] neverblue: I know, I'm just saying your situation does not apply to mine. [16:33] asdrubal: No. /boot is in my / partition, I didn't use separate ones. [16:33] hmm [16:33] genii yes I'm using the zydas now [16:33] Lattyware - does the bios see all drives, and if so, what mode are they in? [16:33] hi :) does every ubuntu dvd support german language? like 7.10? [16:33] SleepingSloth: 'Mode'? The bios sees all the drives, and I can mount them all fine with a live CD, they are all working fine. [16:34] Lattyware, is your / partition on the same disk as the bootup disk? [16:34] asdrubal: Yes. [16:34] user05: If the D-Link is not plugged in please plug it in now to another port and then repost the results of: lsusb -v to the pastebin again please [16:34] Lattyware,mode, as in KBA, etc.. large normal, whatever [16:34] *LBA [16:35] SleepingSloth: No idea, honestly. [16:35] Lattyware , does ubuntu dvd iso 7.10 support german language? [16:35] SleepingSloth: Whatever is default, I presume. I use LVM for my data, but that has nothing to do with Grub. [16:36] y2khai: I would presume so. Try #ubuntu-de (I presume that is the german channel) [16:36] !de [16:36] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [16:37] y2khai: most certainly [16:37] hi guys, I'm a newb and I get an error message during the installation of ubuntu 7.10 [16:38] Lattyware, so are they actually showing up in your bios? [16:38] genii http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53339/ [16:38] I would really appreciate if somebody would help me [16:38] SleepingSloth, Yes. If I do F8 for a BBS prompt, I see all 4 drives. I boot of my first one (the one with Ubuntu (and grub) installed on) and it boots and gives the Grub error 17. [16:38] josh623, you havent given us anything to go on [16:39] why in places->network the current computer is not there, just a windows network icon? [16:39] josh623: Ask your question, don't ask to ask one. [16:39] user05: OK, reading [16:41] Lattyware, you're dialling in? [16:41] SleepingSloth, Dialing in? [16:41] I'm trying to "ssh -X" into another Gutsy machine. But, when I start an X program from the remote command line, I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication." Does anybody know how to fix this? [16:42] Does anyone know why Miro would crash all the time like when I open it, and if it stays open when I open it, when I search for files [16:42] ? [16:42] SleepingSloth, No, why? [16:42] Lattyware, you hit f8 for a bios prompt? [16:42] F8 for the bios boot device selection menu, yes. [16:43] is there a way to upgrade my bios without installing windows [16:43] does anyone know how to make the Virtual Terminal have higher resolution (i.e. smaller text) ? [16:43] ? [16:43] Lattyware, that's not what i was on about - I have heard of a similar problem being a result of the cmos drive mode settings. you need to check in the actual bios [16:43] x-X-x: speak to your hardware vendor [16:43] k [16:43] x-X-x: some will allow boot off floppy/usb devices to flash [16:43] the error is "Errno 05 Input/output error". I tried with different iso files, I tried to check the cd and my hard drive for errors but everything seems to be Ok [16:44] Buzz-CP gnome-terminal? go Edit --> Current profile. [16:44] <_LoneCrow> where do you change your computer name? [16:44] <_LoneCrow> server [16:44] Buzz-CP there should be a setting there for fonts. [16:44] _LoneCrow: /etc/hostname [16:44] <_LoneCrow> thx [16:44] l3ttuc3: not gnome terminal, but virtual terminal (i.e. cntrl-alt-F# [16:44] Lattyware, where the mode was set to LBA when it should have been left as AUTO, and the type should be set to USER... [16:44] Buzz-CP ah, sorry, i don't know. [16:44] <_LoneCrow> how do I make it take effect ? /etc/init.d/networking restart ddnt work [16:45] i've booted into other distros where the text (pre-GUI appears smaller. [16:45] _LoneCrow: you'll need to reboot [16:45] <_LoneCrow> changed it in hosts, hostname, restarted networking prompt.. oh ok thx [16:46] _LoneCrow: it's easier to reboot make sure everything that wants it is aware of the change [16:46] <_LoneCrow> thx [16:46] _LoneCrow-> or you can go to single user adn back to init level 2 [16:47] <_LoneCrow> Was wondering why I didn't reboot.. I typed rebooty by accident .. wonder what a rebooty is.. if you tag that ass a 2nd time? its a re-booty [16:47] SleepingSloth: OK, I'll check that out. [16:48] Anyone get this in Miro?: /usr/bin/python2.5: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: PR_NewMonitor [16:48] WARNING downloader: connection closed -- quitting [16:48] INFO Shutting down downloaders... [16:48] If i want a command or program to run as root on startup, what do I do? [16:48] Lattyware, it's just a suggestion - without knowing what could have changed to trigger this happening, its difficult to offer much... [16:48] brb [16:49] im haveing a problem with my sound on system startup i dont hear the start up music and firefox has no sound but LimeWire my music player has sound im useing a audigy sound card i believe [16:49] What Gutsy repositories contain cairo? [16:49] eugman|work: depends, what do you want to run as root ? [16:49] sixpence: cario is linked against gnome, so it will be in main [16:49] !info cairo [16:49] Package cairo does not exist in gutsy [16:49] Lattyware, what did trigger it? [16:49] ikonia: If I have gnome and compiz, do I already have cairo, glib and gtk? [16:49] sixpence: sure do [16:49] ikonia: Lovely :D [16:49] ikonia: And what about libxml and pango? [16:49] How to resize the board in gnometris in gutsy? [16:49] sixpence: yup [16:50] sixpence: all dependencies [16:50] ikonia: Sweeeet [16:50] hello! I'm very new to ubuntu, and have read the documentation and looked on the internet, but can't find the answer to my problem.... how do I install drivers for new hardware? [16:50] us: drivers are already installed in the linux kernel [16:50] us which hardware [16:50] us - it depends on the hardware [16:50] us: what hardware [16:50] ikonia: What about the akamaru physics engine? [16:50] sixpence: no idea [16:50] sixpence: doubtful [16:50] ikonia: Hehe, okay :D [16:50] right - win-tv nova-t === vasco is now known as PrMoriarty [16:50] im haveing a problem with my sound. I dont hear the system start up music and firefox has no sound but LimeWire my music player has sound im useing a audigy sound card [16:50] ikonia, Well I want to run two things. the first is "dhclient eth1" because I don't know how to get my server to auto connect and I want to run a sh script. [16:51] hey is there a way to install gnome without installing all the default ubuntu-desktop packages? [16:51] its for digital telly on the computer [16:51] Bah. Whats making it aggravating also is ralink source code every line ends in ^M, need to go convert. [16:51] ikonia: If there are repositories for feisty fawn and other Ubuntu streams (i'm gutsy), can I try and use them? [16:51] eugman|work: 1.) you don't need to run "dhclicnet" [16:51] eugman|work: set the network card to dhcp in your interfaces file and it will do it fo you [16:51] sixpence no [16:51] sixpence: use only repo's for the version your on [16:52] I get the Errno 05 Input/output error at 77-79%. I don't know if it helps or not [16:52] Is there a way to install gnome without installing all the default ubuntu-desktop packages? [16:52] ShadowAp3x: nope [16:52] ShadowAp3x: gnome is part of the desktop and already installed [16:53] ShadowAp3x: you can just use gnome-desktop but that will still need all the dependencies [16:53] the hardware is win-tv nova-t model 909 [16:53] us: is that card supported under linux ? === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [16:53] i've been looking and other win-tv nova-t ones are, but i can't see this one === Nicola_ is now known as Nicola [16:53] (model 909) [16:53] us you need to find out if it's supported [16:54] Tell 'Nicola' to register her own damn name :) Cheers. [16:54] ok - how do I do that? [16:54] (thanks for helping!) [16:54] us: contact the vendor ? [16:54] us: check out websites ? [16:54] josh623, what version are you trying to install? [16:54] Ikonia , what does this means ? E: Command line option 'i' [from -i] is not known. [16:54] arrg: what are you doing ? [16:55] would it cause problems to install mythtv to see if it supports it? [16:55] arrg: I need more info [16:55] without looking first? [16:55] 7.10 [16:55] us: not problems, but you could be messing around trying to get something that doesn't work - work [16:55] josh623, 32 or 64bit? [16:55] 32 [16:55] ok thanks very much! [16:55] i'll give it all a go [16:56] josh623, and you have plenty of space n the partition you're trying to install to? [16:56] I have a USB keyboard which doesn't always work at boot time (although sometimes it will work fine), despite dmesg indicating that Ubuntu has detected it. Moving the keyboard to a different USB port fixes the issue (it doesn't matter which port it starts from). Modifying the BIOS options for USB keyboard support doesn't have any effect. If the keyboard is connected to the motherboard then the BIOS and GRUB menu both work fine. If I use a PS2->USB ad [16:56] apter even the BIOS fails to detect the keyboard. Any ideas on fixing this permanently? [16:56] Ikonia , i tried to install ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-6.0-linux-ppc.tgz on my ubuntu however the file is located on my desktop so i typed in juju@localhost:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get -i ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-6.0-linux-ppc.tgz [16:56] yeah, I guess I have more than 30 GB [16:56] arrg PPC ? [16:56] yes [16:57] arrg: what hardware are you running [16:57] hardware ?? [16:57] arrg: you can't use apt-get with tar files [16:57] a PS3 [16:57] arrg: yes hardware [16:57] PS3 [16:57] arrg: 1.) the PS3 distro is not supported 2.) you can't use apg-et / dpkg with tar files [16:57] arrg: 3.) -i is not a valid apt-get argument [16:57] hi all [16:57] what should the effect if an entry on /etc/fstab is missing or been moved? ie removed a hard disk? [16:58] ok then Ikonia how do i install something located on my desktop ? [16:58] bkar: fail to mount [16:58] i just installed ubuntu but there is some problem on flash player app [16:58] genii are you still looking into this or do you thing I should just take this back to the dealer? [16:58] ikonia it should continue booting right? [16:58] josh623, if i were you, i would try installing the smallest version, and (providing you have a decent bandwidth connection) download the rest. at least that way, you'll have an idea what the problem is if and when you encounter one [16:58] arrg: will, it's a tar file so you untar it, but as I said the PPC/PS3 version is unsupported [16:58] bkar: depends on the file system mount point [16:58] !flash | [16:58] !flash [16:58] 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 [16:58] 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. [16:59] Hi, how can i burn iso to CD, while the iso in /home/iso and the dvd writers in swithed to the pc already [16:59] ikonia , so you mean, java doesn't support PPC nor PS3 right ? [16:59] ok dude thank you [16:59] you mean the smallest version of ubuntu, like 6.06 or 06.10? [16:59] Remind me how to kill a process if plain old "kill" doesn't work. [16:59] Correring...Hi, how can i burn iso to CD, while the iso in /home/iso and the dvd writers in swithed to the pc already..no GUI. only real mode [16:59] arrg: no - I said the ubuntu PS3 distro is not an official ubuntu product so not supported by official ubuntu channels [16:59] !list [16:59] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[17:16] transmission _LoneCrow [17:16] DFlamingo: you can either dual boot your system, get a live cd, or uninstall windows [17:16] how can i change the name of my ubuntu? user@name:~$ [17:17] _LoneCrow: i'm using Deluge, you can give it a try [17:17] Hmm, I'd like to uninstall Windows.. it's too much of a resource hog.. [17:17] live cd might be a good way to start out.. so that you can take a look at the distros. Live cd's run from your CD drive or USB. [17:17] DFlamingo: You can't run both at the same time but can dual-boot ie use one or the other [17:17] how can i change the name of my ubuntu? user@name:~$ [17:17] * DOOM_NX away: Studying Mathematical Analysis >< [17:17] ikonia - It seems to be working in this mode, but that doesnt mean anything? [17:17] it doesnt install anything so you dont have to worry about it goign over your current installation [17:17] What about my TCP/IP configs? [17:17] XRS: please do not repeat your answers. [17:17] <_LoneCrow> deluge.. thanks [17:17] Will I have to redo them again? [17:18] chazco: how do you expect the channel to help if thats your approach/attitude ? [17:18] XRS: please do not repeat your questions* someone will answer you when they can. [17:18] DFlamingo, use the live cd and type in "gksu gparted" into the terminal, you can remove your windows partition that way [17:18] DFlamingo: nope. [17:18] Tried about 10 times now, dont see what else I can do for this bit... [17:18] chazco: well, keep trying until it breaks, or accept it won't break and then the problem is with X and we can mobve on [17:18] Windows partition.., I'm afraid of screwing up windows [17:18] I'm read the Ubuntu homepage [17:19] I understand it, but certain things are sticking.. [17:19] DFlamingo: Don't remove your windows partition until you have decided whether you like ubuntu using the live CD [17:19] Will try a power-off-for-bit approach, see if that changes it (as opposed to just issuing reboot) [17:19] Hmm [17:19] Do I DL the CD and install it? [17:20] And it will be possible to delete the windows thingy later? [17:20] If I like using Ubuntu? [17:20] hey guys. im trying to use sudo to execute apt-get. apt-get will work if im root, but when im not, and use sudo, it doesn't do anything. [17:20] any ideas? sounds like a sudo problem [17:20] DFlamingo: Yes [17:21] Just like that? [17:21] o_o [17:21] rycole: is you account in the /etc/sudoers ? [17:21] DFlamingo: YES! [17:21] I thought it was gonna be complicated, ._. [17:21] gcleric, umm, i haven't put it there manually if i need to. let me look. [17:21] Well, I'll read up more and then DL the CD image [17:21] Oooh! [17:22] hey all, i have a video card "Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller" - and i cannot set my screen resolution any higher than 1280x768 even though my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file says i can get up to 1920x1200 (which i should be able to) [17:22] how do i fix that? [17:22] Um, can I use a windows mouse/keyboard for Ubuntu? [17:22] DFlamingo, there is also a DVD image avilable if you cn burn DVD's. [17:22] Or will I ahve to find drivers? [17:22] DVD's, I can burn them :) [17:22] rycole: make sure that it has ALL=(ALL) ALL after it.. [17:22] DFlamingo: no such thing as a windows keyboard/mouse, they'll work. [17:22] Windows mice/keyboards will work fine on Ubuntu [17:22] ikonia - It didnt work that time (recovery mode)... so that rules out X i guess [17:23] ok, cool. im trying it now. [17:23] I saw it in the startup text though, so it was identified (and apparantly correctly) [17:23] Well, um; I have a microsoft keyboard and mouse [17:23] hi all does anyone know if there a messenger that i can use a microphone in? [17:23] When I plugged them into Vista, I got asked for drivers, -_- [17:23] chazco: cool, thats one off the list [17:23] Any one there know a good flash player? [17:23] DFlamingo - I have a Microsoft branded keyboard... guess what im trying to debug with ikonia :D [17:23] DFlamingo, you mean a normal keyboard with a Microsoft (TM) logo ? :) [17:23] hi, I can't seem to get my Software Sources to download the softwares [17:23] please don't say "Vista" [17:23] hi, what can I use to get postit in ubuntu? [17:23] I'd avoid Vista like the plague! [17:23] Yes [17:24] DFlamingo: that's probably just for whatever extra multimedia buttons it has [17:24] DFlamingo, it'll work alright [17:24] Vista came bundles, ._. [17:24] it would stop in the middle of downloading [17:24] xD, few more questions [17:24] DFlamingo: which will probably work without extra configurationin Ubuntu, at least that's been my experience [17:24] un0p - It may not... im having issues with my MS keyboard, others work fine [17:24] help? [17:24] how can i change the name of my ubuntu? user@name:~$ [17:24] ikonia - Any suggestions for the next step? Its currently sat at a root prompt (which I can use yet) [17:24] hi all, anyone know if it's possible to install ubuntu-server sparc via serial terminal? [17:24] Uh, will I be able to run programs made for windows? Or will I have to use an emulator? [17:25] btw, that doesnt seem like a secure idea, can I password it somehow? [17:25] gcleric: that worked, thanks a lot [17:25] heard about something called WINE [17:25] chazco: just pondering [17:25] chazco, the non-standard keys might need a little extra hacking about on to get working -- but they'll work [17:25] chazco: and your testing against gmp [17:25] rycole: no worries... =) [17:25] un0pp - The keyboard dies completly [17:25] Best for running Wondows stuff is WINE [17:25] DFlamingo: WINE will run some windows software === Spammy is now known as SpamInaCan [17:25] DFlamingo: yes wine is good for this [17:25] :) [17:25] and it is FREE [17:25] is there a difference between installing an app as root, versus using sudo? === Agrajag_ is now known as Agrajag [17:25] DFlamingo - You can run (most) apps now with wine, but many have native linux versions or equivelents, always check first (some are often better) [17:25] i cannot set my screen resolution any higher than 1280x768 even though my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file says i can get up to 1920x1200 (which i should be able to) - and pointers? [17:25] chazco, hmm -- was linux installed with it plugged in? [17:25] rycole: use sudo [17:26] un0p - Yes [17:26] hey, you people know any ways of accelerating wine? [17:26] k :p [17:26] The best in Wine is to not have wine :D [17:26] xalanthyr: drink more [17:26] xalanthyr: get a faster CPU :p [17:26] DFlamingo: Yes - you can use gparted - nice gui based tool to mess about with partitions and the like [17:26] xalanthyr: join #winehq and ask [17:26] chazco, hmm, so it did work initially and then died on you? [17:26] if say, I installed Ubuntu and deleted windows; what media player will I have to use? [17:26] Hey there. I have two binaries with the same name in my $PATH. Is there any way to influence which of the two will the default? [17:26] Is there something bundled inside? [17:26] It works intermittently... worked fine on 7.04, problematic on 7.10 :( [17:26] they're ignoring me -.- [17:27] DFlamingo: you have a lot of choices in Linux [17:27] DFlamingo - There are lots of media players, but its hard to suggest the best (see !best) [17:27] Gecko, the one in the first directory in $PATH is the one to be executed [17:27] !best [17:27] DFlamingo: rhythbox - music, xine - video - lots bundled inside :) [17:27] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [17:27] Hmm,.. [17:27] Thanks [17:27] I use VLC Media Player here [17:27] chazco, thats unusual, have you tried reconfiguring xorg around it? [17:28] DFlamingo: As the bot said - lots of choices [17:28] un0p: it's stopped working in a console with gpm - nt xorg issue [17:28] un0p - Ive tried all sorts for now... what puzzles me is sometimes it works fine, even the media keys on it [17:28] Sorry for asking all of this, I'd have sorted things out by myself but I wanted an informed opinion before I messed around with my OS [17:28] ikonia - Can I reboot out of the recovery mode or should i stay in it for testing? [17:28] DFlamingo: Best way to do it!! [17:28] ^_^, thanks again! [17:29] I'm gonna go read up on Ubuntu [17:29] DFlamingo: Yes! best to ask firsat [17:29] DFlamingo: No Problemo [17:29] And Miranda, ._. [17:29] chazco: may as well drop out, we know it's not an Xorg issue [17:29] I can't seem to use it, o_o [17:29] Ok, will do [17:29] erm... now the tricky bit, getting it to shutdown with no keyboard (in the GUI i can) [17:29] do linux people like dogs or not? wuff wuff wuff [17:30] some of them [17:30] how can i change the name of my ubuntu? user@name:~$ [17:30] ikonia, gpm? the mouse daemon ? [17:30] yup [17:30] thanks for your help ikonia [17:31] jack ass [17:31] XRS - I think you can do it in System->Admin->Network (one of the tabs), look for hostname [17:31] stop arrg [17:31] there we are [17:31] thanks [17:31] np :) [17:31] anyone knows a replacement for Mathematica for Math solving? [17:31] ikonia, i'm well confused -- i don't see how gpm could stop a keyboard from working [17:32] white_eagle: paper and pen - works for me [17:32] xalanthyr, ... [17:32] un0p: it wouldn't the point is, it is intermittant in gpm too, so therefore the problem is not xorg related [17:32] so, i installed ubuntu and it made the windows partition on this laptop unbootable. after some fiddling around, i've discovered i need to change a 2 to a 3 in the boot.ini file - how do i go about editing this file? can i edit files on an ntfs partition from ubuntu? [17:32] does linux support linksys wireless cards [17:32] ...? [17:33] without having to use ndiswrapper? [17:33] jacob: Depends on the actual chip inside the card [17:33] ikonia, right, i got the not-a-xorg problem -- but gpm only handles mice, i don't see how a keyboard can be affected by gpm [17:33] white_eagle ;P [17:33] Do other ubuntu users have "cdrom" listed under non-free kernel modules in Apport? [17:33] un0p: oooh it's the keyboard....I thought it was the mouse, I've miss-read [17:33] un0p: at least not having xorg proves it's not xorg ;) [17:34] jacob: Different cards, even from the same manufacturer may have different chips inside them [17:34] fagot [17:34] ikonia, I was gonna say - maybe it's another gpm you are referring to :) [17:34] un0p: no, I miss-read [17:34] A new keyboard may fix this, but i actually like the MS style ones (good for essays)... [17:34] un0p: still proved the point ;) [17:34] jacob: In some instances I've heard the same model card having different chips inside [17:34] how do i keep my vnc connection when i logout of the remote computer? [17:35] it disconnects as soon as i logout [17:35] ikonia, well, i wasn't around when he mentioned xorg (or the absence of it) .. well anyway [17:35] I think we both missed a bit [17:36] jacob: I use a Belkin G+ Mimo card [17:36] hey everyone, i want to install gnome on a CLI system but I don't want to use ubuntu-desktop, because that install openoffice, any suggestions on the metapackage [17:36] chazco, does your syslog/messages file report anything regarding the keyb? [17:36] chazco: what protocol does the keyboard use ? [17:36] un0p - dmesg shows it fine [17:36] ikonia - Protocol? === Vermux_ is now known as Vermux [17:36] chazco: ir/wirless/bluetooth [17:36] Ah, just plain old USB [17:37] chazco: and it's only a problem when it's got a ps2 converter in [17:37] Linuxishaw1, install nautilus gnome-session gdm as the basics - that should pull in most stuff [17:37] Nope, problem on USB... ps2 converter just makes it worse :D [17:37] ikonia -Nope, problem on USB... ps2 converter just makes it worse :D [17:37] chazco: exceptionally odd [17:37] un0p: will gnome-core work? [17:37] chazco: plugin/unplug does that show a syslog event ? [17:37] I thought it'd fix it (why i bought the adapter) [17:38] Linuxishaw1, i'm sure that package will be pulled in -- you can add it to your list anyway -- sudo aptitude install gnome-session gdm nautilus gnome-core [17:39] ikonia - Tried it... says same as dmesg, then some stuff about a new hal device being added [17:40] un0p: gnome-core is a bigger metapackage, gnome-core requires 114 mb download and gnome-session it was 41mb [17:40] <_LoneCrow> Anyone use bitlord? is it any good? [17:40] Is it possible I can make a certain app always open maximized on a certain workspace when using Metacity? Not Compiz. [17:40] un0p: the gnome-core put in all xorg stuff and the gnome-session did not I think that's why it's bigger [17:40] Linuxishaw1, so what you choose here on depends on how much you want installed eh? [17:41] in ccsm, how does one check the check boxes, i hover over them they get checked, i more away they get unchecked. if i click on it they get unchecked [17:41] I'm trying to set up a EeePC for my girlfriend with Ubuntu instead of the Xandros OS and would like to use Metacity's virtual workspaces since the screen size is so small [17:41] Linuxishaw1, i'm sure gnome-session pulls in the necessary xorg packages too -- it wouldnt work without an xserver [17:42] benanzo: #eeepc or www.eeeuser.com wiki may help there :} === uberbeing_ is now known as uberbeing [17:42] Yeah I've been there but this is kind of a general gnome question, not so much specific to the EEE [17:42] _LoneCrow, I used it on windows (or lets say i let someone use it on windows) -- it's ok, claims to be _fast_ but can slow a machine down === telep is now known as cappiz [17:43] Is there a program for running an irc server in the repos? [17:44] eugman|work, aptitude search ircd [17:44] My office network is slow -- how can I see who is using what bandwidth? [17:44] aidehua, use netstat [17:44] How do you install a new font on ubuntu? [17:44] aidehua: there are some software you can run on the gateway [17:44] i [17:45] un0p, will do. Normally, I'd try to find on my own but I don't have access to my comp at the moment. Thanks. [17:45] Ltlbgr67 - If you just have a .ttf or similar use nautilus to browse to fonts:// and just drag/drop it in [17:45] gary4gar, netstat won't help if another machine is sucking up all the network's resources tho [17:45] aidehua: iftop [17:45] is there any program not so big for cutting mp3 files and editing em ? [17:45] un0p: any special reason for using aptitude instead of apt-cache? [17:45] chazco - ok, thnaks let me try doing that [17:45] I was sort of hoping that I could use something that reads files written using libpcap. I'm not sure I can run that accounting program on the same machine that gathers the traffic. [17:45] aidehua for a quick and dirty way to see who is doing what you can run wireshark [17:46] frojnd: you've done a search on mp3 cut ? [17:46] Slart, sorry no [17:46] benanzo: Good idea -- wireshark would be able to read a pcap file. [17:46] eugman|work, http://packages.ubuntu.com has what you need .. let's you search packages or contents of packages, very useful site [17:46] right [17:46] un_op, awesome [17:46] Slart, poc-streamer [17:47] ikonia - Any ideas? :) [17:47] I could gather the pcap data by pluggin our DSL modem into a hub, and pluggin another machine into that hub. [17:47] Users that know how to start a java program can download freecol-0.7.2-installer.jar. Start the installation program by running the command: "java -jar freecol-0.7.2-installer.jar".

[17:48] rycole: that will be in /etc/apache2 [17:48] rycole: it installs files all over the place.. config files are usually in/etc [17:48] un0p, use netstat on the machine used as a proxy server [17:48] gary4gar, and if there's no proxy server? [17:49] oh, lol, ok. [17:49] in ccsm, how does one check the check boxes, i hover over them they get checked, i more away they get unchecked. if i click on it they get unchecked [17:49] gary4gar: does netstat have traffic counting in it? [17:49] gary4gar, even if there was a proxy server - not all traffic is mandated to traverse it [17:49] aidehua, it gives all open connection from host machine, thats is it which is needed most of the time [17:50] any help? :) would be appreceated :) [17:50] aidehua: For more complication, you could setup a box with a pair of bridged cards between the DSL and your network. Then, use NTOP [17:50] guys i wanna buy a dedicated server which company do u offer i prefer cheap one [17:51] rycole: dpkg -L pkgname [17:51] !flashissue [17:51] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[17:57] yogurt, what i can say is rhinote is very simplistic -- just a simple stuck window to type stuff in [17:57] since I configured that manually, that should not change, some program is writing over it [17:57] or better, replacing it [17:57] how can I make a compare in a bash script? if [ "$Var1" > "$Var2" ];then is it correct? [17:57] yogurt, i think DRebellion was referring to tomboy, i think it's part of the gnome in ubuntu [17:58] comicinker: depends what you are comparing, strings? integers?

[19:12] Actually, you can't!

[20:32] please suggest a software to connect my nokia n73 PLEASE [20:32] danonura, things are *not* from the repositories unless you install them using an APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic or Adept). by getting a random executable and installing it as root, you've now got your system into a state where it's impossible to tell what is really going on.

[20:32] tgpraveen; do you mind installing kde based apps? i use a kde bluetooth app to connect to my phone [20:33] any techs here have experience with proprietary DMI data on Mobo and HD matching for winblows, i know it's off topic but i'm not likely to find anyone knowledgeable in a M$ chan. [20:33] Installing Gutsy almost finished [20:33] danonura, if that thing comes with a procedure to remove it cleanly... of course, proper packages that come from the repositories are *guaranteed* to come with one. i don't know about that one, though, since it doesn't. [20:33] well I need to connect it using usb cable and if the kde app is stable in gnome I don't mind [20:33] so [20:33] anyone , know from where i could Hardy pkgs?! [20:33] The reason is I'd like to get a EeePC for my girlfriend but I'd like it to run Ubuntu but still be easy to use on the small screen [20:33] what are your suggestions [20:33] !hardy | N1c [20:33] N1c: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [20:33] LjL:ok thanks [20:33] can someone help me with ndiswrapper [20:33] PriceChild , i allready knew , but from where i could take the .debs? [20:34] tgpraveen; usb.. well that i'm not sure. [20:34] I'd like to utilize the virtual workspaces for different tasks like internet, email etc [20:34] i need only mesa 7.0.2 [20:34] tgpraveen: connect it to do *what*? if you just want to read/write to an SD card in the phone, you don't need anything. if you want contacts, you do. if you want to use bluetooth, for some things you don't. [20:34] etc [20:34] N1c, read the bot's message [20:34] jerro try the linux rescue cd [20:34] I allready did [20:34] Is it possible to have multiple people ssh into the same account at the same time?

[20:34] eugman|work; yes [20:34] eugman|work: yes [20:34] *.sis packages [20:34] so [20:34] PriceChild what is the linux rescue cd? [20:34] Well , i am going to get Hard debs into GUTSY [20:35] tgpraveen: if you have a flash card in the phone, you just need to connect it. no software needed. [20:35] bastid_raZor, benanzo : awesome thanks [20:35] if i still rember i get 18 months support for it :P [20:35] which is why i was asking in the first place, of course. [20:35] and now i am using 1 hour of that 18 months [20:35] jonathaN, no idea. [20:35] N1c, don't do that. [20:35] N1c, installing Hardy packages into Gutsy is not recommended or supported. and, please, do consider reading the !enter message from Ubotu. [20:35] Using one hour of my 18 months support isn't allowed? [20:36] N1c - you dont get the support untill the os is released [20:36] sry i meant the god dude sry [20:36] LjL , i want to break my ubuntu [20:36] LocalGod11 , Don't worry i am still using Gutsy ;-) [20:36] N1c: then do, but don't see our help [20:36] I know about the sd card. but I want to install *.sis apps on my symbian cell [20:36] LjL i wasn't seeking for help since i got my first ubuntu 5.xx somethings [20:36] johnathan: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sysresccd.org%2F&ei=0PaYR4XuOp78zASOnqnzCw&usg=AFQjCNHLezgCI1IM3RH_amPHKhYtEeiaEQ&sig2=-oZfkm5D6UpnceM7RKsL1Q [20:37] Mozilla Firefox doesn't really accept addons installed by synaptic. Meaning: It doesn't show up under "Addons" in Firefox. Any help there?

[20:37] or it 4 :S , can't remeber what it was but it was the first version of ubuntu [20:37] I've just tried to install the gnash mozilla plugin [20:37] how do I do that .sis files don't open in ubuntu I don't get a install on my phone option which I [20:37] get in windows [20:37] how can i control the font size when i type the user name and pass on login window [20:38] ah i just confirmed it - virtualbox does not support graphic acceleration, therefore you can't use compiz in ubuntu [20:38] or play any games [20:38] tgraveeen you could get Symbian Devs [20:38] as I have nokia pc suite installed [20:38] if i want to grep through a file, but want it to spit out the line it finds and a few lines above the found line, how do i do that? [20:38] the size is too big more than 100px [20:38] sis unpacker is included with it === murenasho is now known as PlayBoy [20:38] does the new gibbons remove that keyring manager for when connecting to online wireless networks? [20:38] Hi [20:38] tgpraveen: you copy them from your Ubuntu computer to your phone's SD card (just plug in your phone's USB cable, select "Data mode" on the phone, and wait for a Nautilus window to appear). then, on your phone, you go into the file manager and select the .SIS file. the phone will install it. [20:39] I'm problem with Cedega 5.2 (Diablo II) [20:39] i had a big problem with that in the past, but then deleted the default keyring file from the /.gnome2 dir [20:39] N1c: how would unpacking the .SIS help? [20:39] PlayBoy; #winehq would probably be a more helpful channel [20:39] I don't rember , but there was a pkg for linux , search in google for Symbian under linux and OSX [20:40] its would be the first one , if i am not wrong [20:40] I'm problem 3D aceleration [20:40] have any of you guys had your commputer fucked up by an electrical surge?

[20:44] been trying to install postgres packages I thought could have it, but no luck yet [20:44] makers_mark: you shouldn't have installed stuff not from the repositories in the first place... good luck reverting, now. anyway, see if the driver comes with an uninstall script, if it does run it, and then « sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx » (or nvidia-glx-new, whichever you had installed) [20:44] hi [20:44] i have a second hdd i plan to install ubuntu 7.10 on [20:45] Hi. How can I restart the whole sound system? [20:45] thanks LjL [20:45] wooooooooow http://downloads.khinsider.com/?u=120420 [20:46] Anyone used open street map here? I tried to edit it and it said I need flash installed. I already have it installed though. [20:46] hello, i need to do manual partitioning on installation because i want to keep 1 partition from the disk, i have 100GB for ubuntu system files how big should i make / ? [20:46] !ot | phaero [20:46] phaero: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:46] Raistlin, i don't really remember which options the installer gives you about the boot loader... however, if you use the Alternate CD, i'm pretty sure you can select where to install it (or to not install it at all). with the normal CD, i'm really not sure [20:46] phoenixz: ^^ [20:46] phaero: sorry :/ [20:46] erg [20:46] DRebellion: np [20:46] d0gmaz, 30GB is generous [20:47] LjL: i was reading that there is an advanced option to choose where grub is installed - my problem is i'm not sure what option to choose, like hd0 or hd0,1 etc === wIRC9 is now known as SkullZ [20:47] d0gmaz; i have mine at 10GB but i wish i had made it 15GB [20:47] LjL: because i'm using a second hdd and i'm not sure if it's the master or slave [20:47] neverblue, 30gb for / and do i need other mountpoints also like swap and how big should it be? [20:47] d0gmaz, SWAP == RAM size [20:48] Raistlin, check in your BIOS. it generally lists the four possible HD you can have connected in order Primary/Master, Primary/Slave, Secondary/Master, Secondary/Slave. [20:48] d0gmaz, then I usually use the rest for /home [20:48] hi, my update manager doesnt work.. any idea why? [20:48] jason, errors ? [20:48] LjL: so then once i figure out if it's a master or slave, let's say hypotheically it's a slave, then would that be hd0,2 ? [20:49] well i click on update manager [20:49] and the window just freezes [20:49] jason, sudo aptitude update (from command line), see if that works [20:49] neverblue, d0gmaz: swap same size as RAM is ok in theory, but you should be careful in case your partitioning programs counts with decimal powers while the RAM size is expressed in binary powers. make it 1.2 times the RAM, to be sure. [20:49] okay [20:49] LJL: actually i think hd0,2 would be a second partition on the first hdd, so maybe hd2 then? [20:50] LjL, well, with sufficient amount of RAM, does that really matter, I have 3GB myself [20:50] neverblue, should i make / ext3 or reiserfs? [20:50] Raistlin, no. yes, as you said just now. hd0 would be primary master, hdX would be the others (if you have only two, yes, it should be hd2 as far as i know) [20:50] neverblue: yes, it may matter, because you may not be able to use hibernation if your swap is less than your RAM [20:50] d0gmaz, i attempted reiserfs once, then I went back to ext3, as the lack of support, things may have changed [20:50] !sound [20:50] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:50] LjL, ah, good point [20:50] LjL: oooohh so if i have multiple hdd's then hdx would be fine to use as long as vista is the master? [20:51] ohh never mind.. i think everything was updated.. thats why it just showed a blank box [20:51] its just that i dont remember having any updates for quite a while [20:51] LjL [20:51] Anyone used open street map here? I tried to edit it and it said I need flash installed. I already have it installed though. [20:51] :q [20:52] hello.. [20:52] LjL actually i re-installed the driver and restarted gdm resulting in the driver working fine.after restart,it won't work though. [20:52] i have installation problems.. [20:52] Raistlin: well that depends on what's on the other HD's :) but if you care about none of them, yeah... but also, you do know that in any case, the Ubuntu boot loader *will* boot your Windows system too, right? [20:52] when trying to install ubuntu.. [20:52] FuTz: explain [20:52] sometimes it freezes when insert cd, and when the status bar is loading, it freezes there [20:52] <^Xalastras^> try with another cd xD [20:52] and sometimes when installation starts [20:52] makers_mark: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure --phigh xserver-xorg [20:53] FuTz: sounds like memory try xubuntu [20:53] about 50% of completed install [20:53] How do you restart X from the command line? [20:53] I dont have access to the keyboard [20:53] LjL: not in my passed 10 installs haha - it never sees vista during the install [20:53] Im in via SSH [20:53] Raistlin: i think you should file a bug about that [20:53] Flare183, memory? [20:53] neverblue, i made / 30gb /home 80gb and swap 4gb do i need to make /boot or something? long time ago i used linux :) [20:53] L 99 99 99....please help me :( [20:53] Cpudan80: sudo /etc/init.d/ (something) [20:53] shouild i test it with memtest?

[21:13] krna: you can install GRUB from the live CD, in theory, but uhm... the command is "grub-install", but you'd also have to create the necessary config files, likely [21:14] Random question, anyone here use DD-WRT ?

[21:15] neverblue, ok - i'll try xmms... ... [21:15] Maybe I'll just post in the forums [21:16] LjL:oh okay,so shall I try reinstalling n then see if it works? [21:16] amorphous, look in the options, and base the device on your lspci output [21:16] krna: or if you had the alternate CD... or the minimal CD... you could use them, i suppose. i think they let you skip many other steps and just go to the part where the bootloader is setup. [21:17] krna: mind you, there *is* a way to do it without reinstalling, i'm just far away from knowing the details. [21:17] LjL: The links you gave me did not help. I followed the instructions there and it did not work for me. [21:17] Drew_[SCED], did you adapt the instructions to the fact that the Flash package is currently broken?

I will come back with info later. [21:19] neverblue, i'm on it - thanks :) [21:20] ok, anyone know about routing internet from XP to Ubuntu? [21:20] Drew_[SCED], you *should* keep in mind that sort of stuff is generally harder to do on 64-bit, and that most people with 64-bit processors actually just use the 32-bit version of Ubuntu. what's more, with Flash being currently broken, it becomes even more of a nuisance. i suppose however than the "patch" available on the forums link Ubotu gave you might be used as a plug-in package for the 64-bit instructions, though. [21:20] is there a way to rm everything in a directory that contains a certain string [21:21] truslack, the 'ip-masquerading howto' used to be the defacto guide on that. But there may be easier guy tools to get it going now a days. [21:21] Greets [21:21] truslack, on the Ubuntu side it's just a matter of... well, nothing, Network Manager should configure it automatically. as for the Windows side, you should ask in ##windows (or google for "internet connection sharing") === roald is now known as __qzyR` [21:21] quaal: that contains in the filename, or that contains in the file contents? [21:21] Help please. I had my external hard drive shared and everything was working great until I unplugged it and plugged it back in... Now im not seeing my linux box on my windows machine any longer. What do I do? [21:21] LjL:thanks a lot man.I dont have an extra CD.I'll search somehwere..if nothing's available then I'll reinstall.thak u [21:21] *thank u [21:22] I am about to install a GFX card. What command will I need for Ubuntu when I re-start? [21:22] Yeah, I've got it set up and Ubuntu can ping the windows NIC, but the windows machine has 2 cards, one (wifi) getting the internet, then an ethernet going to the ubuntu machine [21:22] truslack: yes, you need to configure the Windows machine so that it will do NAT to the Ubuntu machine. that's what ICS accomplishes [21:22] LjL, in the filename. [21:23] quaal: recursively? [21:23] truslack, You want WINDOWS to share the net connection.. Theres the 'ICS' settings/tool for windows that does that. Then you set the linux box to use the windows pc as its gateway/dnsserver I belive [21:23] LjL, i'm in the directory [21:23] ICS is enabled, both cards are on the same subnet, but I can only ping one of the cards [21:23] i did rm *copy* [21:23] didnt work [21:23] quaal: it should [21:23] quaal: unless you want it to be done recursively [21:23] brb [21:24] quaal: more of a #bash question perhaps [21:24] or #perl [21:24] you can use find to remove specifically pattern files recursively [21:24] I am thinking about installing ubuntu onto a spare pc, I have installed ubuntu before on a really old system that just plain hated it(i've never seen a system not cooperate like that), but I'm willing to try again. I need to know a few things before I commit this system. First will Ubuntu be able to print to windows 98, and XP over the network, The printers are a FX80, a LQ850 (both epson), and an HP 832C. Also is it possible to share [21:24] quaal: so you have filenames that contain the string "copy" (in lowercase), and you need to remove them, and you don't care about subdirectories -- then "rm ./*copy*" is correct [21:24] in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file I have this added to the end: http://pastebin.ca/871274 [21:24] jetscreamer: ...perl? [21:25] chris4, i print to windows shared printers allthe time. [21:25] chris4, Samba allows you to connect to Windows shares (printers included). that said, your message got cut after "possible to share" [21:25] ok then, that's good, but will it work with a 1986 printer? [21:25] check cups.org for supported printers.. or the following [21:26] !hardware [21:26] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:26] just a thought [21:26] the other question was about accessing network neighborhood [21:26] chris4, as long as the printer works in Windows, it ought to [21:26] neverblue, ok - have tried oss driver - only one possible device (STAC92xx) - sigmatel mixer - switched to it - all vols ok. [21:26] chris4, - Linux can access windows 'shares' also. and you can have shares on linux, that are accessable by windows. [21:27] amorphous, hmm, oss was it, and no ALSA listed ? [21:27] neverblue, alsa driver - only one poss card - HDA - tried it - and alsamixer - no sound [21:27] (sorry - typings getting better - honest ;) [21:28] dr_willis, how would I go about doing that [21:28] What is the point of encrypted drives? :) [21:28] PriceChild , Would you mind talking with me (PM)? [21:28] LjL: That did not work as well. I think Gnash is causing a conflict. How do I uninstall Gnash? [21:28] neverblue, so no sound with either - other drivers are discwriter esound [21:28] firefox has become completely useless for me on ubuntu 7.10 on an hp laptop w 2gb ram. crashes anytime i hit a page w java and lately everytime i try to open a new window or tab. any help in getting a stable browser would be much appreciated [21:28] Can someone please help me with a samba issue?

Which should I choose? [21:33] ompaul: seems to work alright, thanks.... [21:34] Niklas_E: the main difference is that 64bit will give you a lot more trouble with some proprietary programs. [21:34] chris4, the term 'network neigborhood' is just MS's nice term for what linux users call samba, :) You can share your users home directory or other data easially enough. [21:34] LjL: Thank you so very much! It works with a few display errors, but it's liveable. Will this work for all users or just for my account?

[21:34] okey [21:35] Drew_[SCED]: should work for everyone i think [21:35] chazco, at least give a slight summery. [21:35] It sometimes works, it sometimes doesnt. Can be fixed by moving to a new port. Dmesg correctly spots it... :) [21:35] ok can someone explain to me why kubuntu 7.10 will let me dual monitor but ubuntu 7.10 proper will not? [21:36] LjL: Ha! Thank you again. My brother will be VERY happy to hear that this problem is finally fixed. I hope my referral of you on the boards gives you some compensation for helping me! [21:36] Alyxander, what video card? and whats proper? is it working at all? not at all? [21:36] Drew_[SCED], i help voluntarily [21:36] Alyxander, you need to enable the restricted drivers in the 'restricted drivers manager', then hopefully its all setup [21:36] Hey i am trying to network install ubuntu and it says i need to instal lnetkit-inetd and it says to install that its just apt-get install but im not finding it [21:36] any ideas? [21:36] Also, does anyone know how to create an updated Gusty CD? Cant download all the updates on my home PC's, would be nice not to have to [21:37] oh wait, sorry, duals, Alyxander disregard that last statement [21:37] neverblue, im testing them live and the graphics cards, yes two seprate pci are nvidia Dr_willis [21:37] Thanks all, have a nice day!

[21:37] Are there any benchmarking tools for Ubuntu? [21:37] Like PCMark [21:37] Alyxander, how are you setting up the duals ? what did you use to setup duals in Kubuntu ?

[21:38] Alyxander, there is no Gnome 7.10, your referring to Ubuntu [21:38] neverblue, yeah thats why i said ubuntu proper [21:39] chris4, then take a look at wine... or askin #winehq [21:39] *popper [21:39] Alyxander, what seems to be the problem ?

[21:41] chazco: grab an alternative cd and upgrade with that [21:41] Anyone have a suggestion on how to find the IP of a box, given it's MAC? It's physically connected to the local network. It's online, it should have an open SSH port. I have no idea what its IP is, it may not even be on my subnet. How do I go about finding it? [21:41] Is the alternative CD packaged with all the updates that have been released since Gusty was? [21:42] yeap [21:42] LDS_Trooper, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:42] How do you mount an ISO? [21:42] Alyxander, how are you setting the res. of the monitor ?

The ~200MB of updates isnt feasible [21:48] KaiForce: you have to manually install it, I think [21:49] Starnestommy: thanks! [21:50] im having a problem with DVD play back. ive read http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy and followed the directions to no avail. can anyone help? [21:50] hi [21:50] Anyone have any ideas as to why I might be getting this strange error with vlc/azureus? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53384/ [21:51] !hi | egc [21:51] egc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:51] I have a problem i'm following a guide to setup VPN connection via pptp to a windows network, but I don't get the menu displayed in this image: http://tipotheday.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/vpn-connections.png. I get only the "manual connection item"...... [21:51] hi [21:51] does anyone help me installing vnc=? [21:51] Alyxander, asking a person who help in #ubuntu if they realize there is an Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu, yes, thats a bit insulting [21:51] !vnc [21:51] could anybody who has dvd playback in totem(gstreamer) paste the output of "gst-inspect"?? [21:51] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:51] in a pm? [21:51] deftrocket: what happens when you try to play the DVD? [21:51] !vnc > Ricardo0 [21:52] during the upgrade process from fiesty to gibbons, do i have to create new passwords? [21:52] I tend to use the vnc4server. :) but it all depends on your needs. [21:52] vancomycin: nope [21:52] can anyone tell me the difference between using an xinitrc script and a gdm session startup for a program like compiz? will xinitrc start it before the desktop becomes visible if I specify that to execute before gnome-session? [21:52] shear: vlc gets big like it wants to play then closes and totem tell me it doesnt have the right plugins when i followed the directions it lead me to i have all the plugins installed [21:53] deftrocket: what type of file is it? [21:53] hi, I have a kasda modem, it can be used with lan and usb, I can connect with usb but not wit the lan, I try to install this /media/cdrom0/dialer/Kasda_pppoe_linux/rp-pppoe-gui-3.5-1.i386.rpm but its not letting me, any solution? [21:53] Flare183, cool - but i should replace anything that gibbons ubgrade says rather than "keep" right? [21:53] k3zo: a DVD [21:53] i also changed my region to region 1 [21:53] deftrocket: a bought dvd? [21:53] where are the kernel panic logs (and other errors) stored in? [21:53] yes [21:53] deftrocket: have you got libdvdcss2? [21:53] vancomycin: yeap [21:53] k3zo, normally the xinitrc scripts spawn the desktop/window manager as its last thing. When running gnome, xinitrc would spawn gnome-session as its last task. [21:53] Flare183, nice - [21:53] neverblue, so then you understand that asking a person who came into #ubuntu and asked a question referencing two different variants of ubuntu if he knew he was in the ubuntu room is equally insulting [21:54] !variants [21:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about variants - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:54] !variant [21:54] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: Linux Mint, LinuxMCE, Ubuntu Ultimate.

Mint has some neat tools that would be nice to have in the normal ubuntu. [21:55] Flare183, I know what the variants are [21:55] does anyone know how can i edit a .conf file ? [21:55] !edit > Ricardo0 [21:55] Alyxander: just making sure [21:55] deftrocket: should work then, presume you have ffmpeg installed too [21:55] Ricardo0: gedit .conf [21:55] i get allways this error by compiling subversion: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [21:55] and then to save mhrnjad [21:55] k3zo installing ffmpeg now [21:56] hey guys [21:56] -bash: gedit: command not found mhrnjad [21:56] why do my headphones squeal when i turn the speakers up to hear things?

[21:57] deftrocket: it should play *anything*! [21:57] k3zo: not playing the DVD. [21:57] Dr_willis: It's ntfs [21:58] deftrocket: 2 secs [21:58] nodnod [21:58] Ricardo0: Ctrl+S to save [21:58] ThipThip, you dont just chmod/chiown files on ntfs/vfat filesystems - You use the umask/dmask/uid/gid options when you mount them. [21:58] Dr_willis: does that mean I can have compiz start, then awn, then gnome-do then when gnome starts it'll look pretty from the off, without having to watch it load (whcihc is messy) [21:58] mhrnjad but i can't start editing [21:58] -bash: gedit: command not found [21:58] ThipThip, or use the ntfs3g tools. [21:58] k3zo, no idea. try it and see. [21:58] Dr_willis: k sorry for repost! [21:59] Ricardo0: what linux are you running? [21:59] ubuntu [21:59] deftrocket: sounds daft but just read that a restart might help! ;) [21:59] What printer does the ubuntu community use to print those cd's that come in the mail?

[22:00] Ricardo0: "sudo apt-get install gedit" will install the editor [22:00] josiah, you are refering to where the HD is mounted to it sounds like. [22:00] k3zo, I think they look very nice [22:01] Dr_willis: I am in the /media dir [22:01] Dr_willis: in there is my hard drive called: My Book [22:01] Dr_willis: I dont like the space in the name so I want to rename it to MyBook [22:02] What is the best gnome utility to monitor CPU themps? [22:02] Dr_willis: so usually when I rename a dir i just do: mv dirname dirname2 [22:02] Is it possible to install ubuntu on the PlayStation 2? [22:02] I woulda though it would've been in the system monitor, but it isn't :( [22:02] i've got a perplexing problem . . . i'm running gutsy gibbon and have a hell of a time connecting to irc through any software, xchat, pidgin, mirc/wine, you name it. it just sits there "connection timed out." However my winblows box connects immediately (mirc). I've tried it using wired and wireless networks. restarted. turned off firewall, everything. every now again it does connect and stays for a while. any ideas or place to start debugging? [22:02] josiah, you could just make a soft link from 'MyBook' to 'My Book' which sould be easier. [22:02] rodolfo: I dunno, but if it is that's awesome. You can pick up new thin ones for cheap [22:03] josiah, sudo ln -s 'one thing' 'other thing' [22:03] what is the tool for making my own repo list ? [22:03] like I would check mark a bunch of things and I could get a nice sources.list ? [22:03] woodwizzle: I dont know too, but I heard some guys who did it but on PS3 =/ [22:04] why is windows so negetive? [22:04] josiah, sudo ln -s 'Original Name' 'New Name' is more clear :) [22:04] arjuna, bad karma? [22:04] !easysource [22:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:04] Hmm.. [22:04] Dr_willis: I'm lost. The ntfs config tool is not working. I'm a little over my head I think. I tried googling umask, but I don't really understand what I'm looking at. [22:04] Dr_willis> would i develop mental diseases if i use windows? [22:04] woodwizzle: now...I wonder if this is possible using PS2 as a graphical station or even emulating wingames on it. AWESOME! :D [22:05] Type :quit to exit Vim [22:05] i already have typed this [22:05] Dr_willis: yes that worked just fine... but my windows machine is still not seeing it for some reason... i thought it might have been because of the space in the share name... im going nuts trying to get samba to work or for my windows machine to read it at least [22:05] but i cant quit [22:05] and mhrnjad i can't edit the file i want [22:05] Ricardo0: have you pressed a few times to make sure you're not in editing mode, etc.? [22:06] yes trippss [22:06] Ricardo0: are you on a console or on X_windows? [22:06] console [22:06] ssh [22:06] Ricardo0: in that case you will need to use 'vi' [22:06] rodolfo: I think it would be cooler as a media thin client. To stream media to another room in the house via samba or nfs and then playing it on a tv. But i don't think it can be done [22:06] josiah, if this is a exteranal usb hard drive with ntfs/vfat onit. You Might want to change the disk label under windows to MyBook [22:07] ye mhrnjad but vi its just to view the file right? [22:07] Ricardo0: did you ever use vi? [22:07] hello all!

Old semantics for older ubuntu (and most every other distro) is just to disable passwords. Now actual expiry is being set. [22:10] Ricardo0: go ack to vi [22:10] josiah, work on one thing at a time i guess. so homes was being shared and now its not? [22:10] yap im in [22:10] how can i start editing? [22:10] well looks like for the purposes I want to use that PC for, it'll need to stay windows98, too many games I want to use(about 50%) don't work with wine. I guess I'll try ubuntu again when either wine improves, or I get a PC that is for work only. [22:10] Ricardo0: hit the ESC key and the Ctrl+G, what does vi say at the bottom? [22:10] Dr_willis: yes everything worked yesturday [22:11] "vnc.conf" line 2 of 103 --1%-- col 1 [22:11] josiah, see if the linux box can see/acces its own shares for a start I guess. [22:11] Ricardo0: cool , try using your cursor keys .. do they work? [22:11] So anyone know a good gnome tool for checking out my pc and system temps? [22:11] thx for the help, bye [22:11] ye [22:11] mhrnjad [22:12] Ricardo0: type :help and start going through the help menus, if you're not familiar with vi [22:12] I couldn't even find a default panel widget that would monitor them [22:12] woodwizzle: have you looked at http://gnomefiles.org/ ? [22:12] I found my box by getting the network admin to send me the dhcp table [22:12] win!

[22:13] woodwizzle: isn't there a panel widget called "system monitor"? [22:13] I've got apache2 with php and php5-mysql, but cant access MySQL from PHP, maybe because MySQL is not installed from apt-get. How can I configure apache and php to work with it? [22:13] Dr_willis: really ... guess I can put away my shirt with all the vi commands on it [22:13] Ricardo0: instead of using vi you can use nano. It is MUCH easier to use. Vi has a learning curve [22:13] i want to make a mp3cd that plays track on shuffle mode what can i use in ubuntu [22:14] Dr_willis: when I goto Places -> network it shows my windows machine right away and its not listed in "Windows Network"... isnt that odd? [22:14] Help! I shrunk my drive in Vista and and did a guided install using free space. I can see vista in the grub loader, but the system only reboots when I try to load vista. How can I fix this? [22:14] cdecarlo, are they printed upside down so you can read them? :) I got a vi coffee cup. [22:14] woodwizzle: you can try hardware monitor: http://gnomefiles.org/download.php?soft_id=443&where=http%3A%2F%2Fpeople.iola.dk%2Folau%2Fhardware-monitor%2Fhardware-monitor-1.4.tar.bz2 [direct link to the file] [22:14] Dr_willis: indeed they are [22:14] i'm prompted during the gibbons upgrade to remove obsolete packages [22:14] Dr_willis: i bought one of those cups as well, as a joke. I ended up using it quite a bit :P [22:14] josiah, i normlally use the 'fuse samba' tools these days. [22:15] should i remove or skip this step? [22:15] woke up this morning and wireless was completely gone from my downstairs computer... I have tried unplugging the card and re-inserting it, reconfiguring it from the command line and restarting several times but nothing has worked so far... any help? [22:15] Dr_willis: what is that? [22:16] josiah, makes your samba network show up under a normal 'directory' Not needing to use the file manager to browse smb:// stuff [22:16] josiah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb [22:17] hi [22:17] Can someone help me tweak my grub so that I can get back into windows please. All I did was a guided installation using the freespace on the drive. How do I get back to windows. [22:17] fbc, you're going to be lucky if you can recover it [22:17] fbc: You don't! HA HA another happy convert! [22:17] is http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable answering 403 forbidden for anyone else? [22:17] does anyone know how to transfer files into virtual boxs virtual machine???? [22:18] does anyone know a way to make iso files in ubuntu [22:18] you should have used the partitioner to manually set up a new partition for ubuntu... [22:18] Why?? The guide I read said it make it Dual-boot. [22:18] tobo: yes [22:18] tnx jeff [22:18] sucks, but the same thing happened to me a while back [22:18] hello [22:18] does anyone know another place to get the 2.6.23 libata patch? [22:18] Sorry to interrupt, but how do I use the motd file? It doesn't seem to do anything for me. [22:18] cant seem to find one using google [22:18] I had to learn the hard way ;) [22:18] i installed the vsftpd server, do know the url to access on the machine ? [22:18] does anybody know? [22:18] they all refer to the homepage of tejun [22:18] boinker: there is a program called ISOMaster that should do the trick [22:19] rxndx, cdecarlo I can see the option in the grub loader, it just reboots when I try to use it. [22:19] thanks [22:19] Questions look at /etc/motd [22:19] jeffMASTERflex: thank you [22:19] yup [22:19] so then what do you want to do? remove grub? === Expect is now known as Expect_ [22:19] fbc: ya I was making a joke, I've got no idea how to help you sorry [22:19] rxndx, If that is what will get me back then yes.. [22:19] fbc, You proberly need to edit the grub menu.lst - it may be confused as to what settings are needed toboot the windows drive. [22:20] does anyone have a webserver running where they temporarily could put the libata tj stable patch för 2.6.23 so that i could download it, please [22:20] Dr_willis, how would I know what the correct setting is? [22:20] what software does mp3 cd's that play on a shuffle mode in ubuntu [22:20] fbc, you proberly should pastebin the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for starters.. that way people in here can see whats going on. [22:20] just insert your windows cd, keep clicking until you see the Repair option, type R (or whatever it is) and then type fixmbr [22:20] Dr_willis, ok will do.. [22:20] that will do it for ya ;) [22:21] rxndx, and leve him with a lot of hd used by linux. [22:21] I'm getting an error when trying to mount a drive that, up until now, has been working perfectly. It is an NTFS drive and I changed the permissions on the drive. I think I did it wrong. The error is this: mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [22:22] Dr_willis: I'm still a bit lost. [22:22] ThipThip, how did you 'change the permissions on the drive' ? [22:22] Dr_willis, well, at least he would have his windows back, then he could delete or overwrite the linux install... [22:22] ThipThip: The dumb way - the way I told you I tried. I sudo'd nautilus, right-clicked, etc [22:22] how much performance do you lose with vbox? [22:22] rxndx: doesn't windows have a habit of nuking grub? or did that only ever happen to me. I remember having to install windows then linux, as it would never work the other way round. [22:22] if it's in the freespace of the drive, there's no danger in that [22:23] hi [22:23] right, that's why I said to type fixmbr [22:23] ThipThip, you dont change permissions on ntfs filesystems that way. Youneed a proper fstab entry for them. Using either ntfs-3g or similer. [22:23] shear: doing the fixmbr will nuke grub as it will be overwritten by the Windows bootloader [22:23] can anyone help with a terminal error related to setting up my wireless network? [22:23] it will remove grub and allow windows to boot again [22:23] Dr_willis, ok here is the pastebin of the output of both of those. http://pastebin.com/d4302829c [22:23] ThipThip, example fstab entry for my ntfs disk --> #/dev/sdb1 /media/minihd ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [22:23] or, he could type fixboot [22:23] that did the trick for me...but his mileage may vary ;) [22:24] is there a reliable way to write to NTFS partitions? [22:24] cdecarlo: ntfs-3g is the only "reliable" way to write to NTFS paritions [22:24] cdecarlo: yeah, the ntfs-3g driver works great [22:24] rxndx, yeah the point was to get it to be dual bootable.. http://pastebin.com/d4302829c [22:25] jeffMASTERflex: ok how reliable is "reliable" [22:25] cdecarlo: it's stable, you don't have to worry about it [22:25] cdecarlo: reliable enough to use at home. but not something i would use at work [22:25] fbc, the linux grub entries work fine ? [22:25] I just upgraded from xfce 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 with xubuntu gutsy via xubuntu-team's launchpad ppa all is fine exept thunar won't recongnise my master hdd. there is no HDD icon in sidepanel. how can I fix this? [22:25] new to ubuntu and having trouble moving a file. Can anyone help me change permissions? [22:25] rxndx, If I do a fixboot or fixmbr it will wipe grub, and I don't think I will be able to boot into that partition unless I can rig the vista loader with the proper syntax. [22:25] cmmqs initialization is failed [22:25] fxd_: use the chmod command [22:25] i get this on kernel load [22:26] why? [22:26] Dr_willis, yeah I can boot into linux just fine. [22:26] right [22:26] fxd_: if you don't own the file, you'll have to use 'sudo chown [your user name] [filename]' [22:26] fbc, odd.. I dont see any errors in the menu.lst ( you dident patste the wole menu.lst) - Not sure whats going on. [22:26] nemilar: the problem is I don't really know what permission i have to change to move the file [22:26] I understood your problem as saying that you wanted to ditch linux and get back to windows... my bad ;) [22:26] Dr_willis, all I left out was the comments. [22:27] fxd_: you need write permissions of the file, and to the directory where you're moving the file [22:27] I love linux personally, and only use XP when I'm recording music or using photoshop... [22:27] oh [22:27] réussi [22:27] fbc, your windoss install IS on the first hard drive? or is it on the 2nd hard drive? [22:28] why do people use different distro? is it because of different screens or performance( who loads faster) [22:28] erff bad se U [22:28] arjuna, differnt tweaks and little things mostly [22:28] nemilar: I figured as much but I'm pretty unstable in the terminal [22:28] arjuna: just different strokes for different folks [22:28] Dr_willis, here is a pastebin of the whole file.. http://pastebin.com/d6dc0e26d [22:28] arjuna: some distros just "work better" with your hardware [22:28] premier irc [22:28] depuis longtemps [22:28] I just upgraded from xfce 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 with xubuntu gutsy via xubuntu-team's launchpad ppa all is fine exept thunar won't recongnise my master hdd. there is no HDD icon in sidepanel. how can I fix this? [22:28] ca fait bizarre [22:28] arjuna: for example, Gentoo compiles everything from source, which some people like, and some people hate [22:28] Dr_willis, it's installed in the first and only drive in the system.. a sata drive and was working just fine... [22:29] which linux has the most people working? and how many people usually work on a linux distro? [22:29] arjuna: my personal faves are Ubuntu and PCLOS, as they run the smoothest to me. but as the doctor says 'different strokes' [22:29] fbc, Hmm..your fdisk -l showed 2 hard drives [22:29] fbc, a 200 and a 500gb disk. [22:30] arjuna: that's a really tough question to answer [22:30] Dr_willis: I don't know what to do. I downloaded ntfs-config and it doesn't work. [22:30] what do you call linux that are easy yto use like windows such as ubuntu and pclinuxos? [22:30] arjuna: my guess would be Red Hat, since it's a commercial distrobution [22:30] Dr_willis, yeah, that's an external USB [22:30] arjuna: but then, Dell supports Ubuntu, so they have people working on it [22:30] is nautilus-wallpaper installed by default? [22:30] arjuna: Debian is largely volunteers, but Debian is the basis for Ubuntu [22:30] fbc, Hmm.. Try booting with the external usb removed? I dont see any other things out of the ordinary [22:30] arjuna: i don't consider windows usable to me. its quirks bother me. i've been using linux for about 4 years. [22:31] !uuid [22:31] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [22:31] Hey im am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop that doesnt not have a cdrom. When i try to start dhcp3-server it fails any ideas? [22:31] any wireless gurus around today? [22:31] hi [22:31] arjuna: some distros have different patches or use different packaging systems. I just prefer how ubuntu and PCLOS are set up [22:31] Dr_willis, Then I'll be back I guess since I have to reboot this machine... stand by.. and thank you. [22:31] ThipThip, Theres loads of docs on setting up a proper fstab line for ntfs drives. I pasted an example earlier. [22:31] orion1 hey what errors? [22:32] i need help: my friend wants to reformat her pc and wants me to reformat it, installing ubuntu in the process [22:32] bkar: it just says faials when i try to start it? [22:32] red hat had enned in 2004? [22:32] * orion1 start it. [22:32] ended* [22:32] anybody? [22:32] orion1-> it should say what error is [22:32] !who > orion1 [22:32] newguest, did you ask a question? [22:32] "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start" * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] [22:32] sombody help..? [22:33] orion1-> pastebin the contents of your dhcpd.conf [22:33] newguest, very simple [22:33] ok [22:33] When I start firefox, it segfaults -- where does its core dump go? [22:34] this is Gutsy x86_64 [22:34] newguest, just insert the ubuntu live cd, boot the machine and then install ubuntu [22:34] rxndx: what do i do? [22:34] How do I find the vmware directory? [22:34] newguest: the ubuntu installer gives you the option to use the entire disk for installation. it will format the whole disk and install [22:34] it will reformat automatically during the process [22:34] arjuna: no, red hat is still alive and well [22:34] oh i c [22:34] Could someone help, im using Xfce 4.4.2 with xubuntu just upgraded from 4.4.1 but thunar isn't showing my ntfs drive. it shows up under fdisk -l as /dev/sda1. [22:34] how big is the file to put on the cd? [22:34] arjuna: they just spun-off Ferdora Linux, which is the non-commercial version [22:34] Cpudan80, usually your current working directory when you started it, or your home directory [22:34] unless by "Reformat" you actually want to "Securely Wipe" the drive, then reformat... [22:34] what's the file type that mandriva uses? [22:34] newguest: it's an image and it's about 680 MB [22:35] arjuna: it's RPM based I believe [22:35] !show nautilus-wallpaper [22:35] k good - my cd is 700mb [22:35] ty very much [22:35] nearly everything is either DEB based or RPM based [22:35] !info nautilus-wallpaper [22:35] nautilus-wallpaper (source: nautilus-wallpaper): Nautilus extension. Add a "set as wallpaper" entry in context menu. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 5 kB, installed size 64 kB [22:35] nemilar: except every distro based on slackware or gentoo [22:35] newguest, right and you can also just boot up the cd and reformat if you want [22:35] ;) [22:35] jeffMASTERflex: yeah [22:35] Dr Willis: Here's my current fstab for sdb1: UUID=621C7C841C7C554F /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [22:35] jeffMASTERflex: or LFS [22:36] bkar: http://pastebin.ca/871393 [22:36] where can i find swiftfox rpm file? [22:36] bkar: right after i installed it and tried to start it, it failed [22:36] jeffMASTERflex: any ideas on a channel where i would be able to get help retreiving the libata tj patches? [22:36] arjuna: if you're using ubuntu you want to use apt/debs [22:36] orion1-> give me a chance to look [22:36] tobo: sorry i don't know. [22:37] no i want the rpm [22:37] when a person enters who is knowledgeable about wireless, please let me know! my downstairs computer's wireless quit working this morning unexpectedly [22:37] arjuna: the only RPM distro i like is PCLOS because it uses Synaptic and apt-get. i hate everything else [22:37] i've installed apache2 + php and php5-mysql, but cant access MySQL from PHP, maybe because MySQL isnt installed from apt. How can I configure apache and php to work with it? [22:37] Hello. Once I have "aptitude install " I do "aptitude show " and one line gives me "State: not installed". So...how do I install it? How do I proceed from here? [22:38] rxndx: is it connected to the wireless netowork? [22:38] what about mandriva? [22:38] z/w [22:38] !ot | arjuna [22:38] arjuna: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:38] orion1, yes and i've tried unplugging the card and re-configuring it from the command line too [22:38] arjuna: i personally don't like mandriva. i like apt-get based package managers [22:38] orion1, the network icon even comes up, but it's just not connecting for some reason... [22:39] arjuna: but try it out. YOU might like it [22:39] rxndex: does it just time out and keep trying to connect? [22:39] orion1, yes [22:39] orion1, everything has been great the past 10 or 11 months... just happened this morning [22:39] rxndex: if you change the name of your wireless network im almost sure it will work again. I have had that problem before. [22:40] i wonder if someone can help me. For some reason the icons within the menu have become smaller...is there any way to put them back to the original size? [22:40] Hey, where is the global $PATH set in ubuntu? [22:40] orion1, you mean the Essid? [22:40] rxndx: change the ssid is the quick fix i would say [22:40] Anyone have any ideas about my firefox problem? [22:40] It just segfaults [22:40] bkar: do you see anything? [22:40] orion1, will do big thanx and will report back asap [22:40] orion1-> this will not work i think ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org; also enable some options in line 40-45 [22:40] can anyone please help me? After I do "apt-get install " the packages is still not installed, just downloaded. How do I proceed from here? [22:41] Cpudan80: did you try to uninstall, trmove the .mozilla entry in your home folder, then reinstalling? [22:41] How do I find the vmware directory? [22:41] Gecko: /etc/environment [22:41] Cpudan80: sorry that should have been *remove* [22:41] jeffMASTERflex: I didn't delete .mozilla -- let me try that [22:42] Cpudan80: you're gonna lose your bookmarks!!! [22:42] astro76: thanks [22:42] makasd0-> have you tried reading some tutorials in ubuntu on adding a package and what to do next? [22:42] I am trying to fix a friends XP laptop. I had to replace the motherboard. when it attempts to load windoze it constantly blue screens. I can boot the system with ubuntu or xubuntu live with no problems, I am able to mount the hard drive and see all the contents. Is there a tool in *buntu to do a hardware diagnostic?? [22:43] Arthur if you have updated db, "locate vmware" on cli [22:43] bkar: do you know how to do a network install of ubuntu/ [22:43] Could someone help, im using Xfce 4.4.2 with xubuntu just upgraded from 4.4.1 using xubuntu-team ppa. but now thunar isn't showing my ntfs drive. it shows up under fdisk -l as /dev/sda1, but no icon in thunar side panel or desktop. [22:43] anyone know how to set up kxmame? [22:43] bieb: did you try a fresh windows install? [22:43] it's because you replaced the motherboard, but that is more of a ##windows question [22:43] bkar: I am sorry, but the tutorials makes me think that's it. After apt-get install the package will be installed completly. I have found no more commands to run to get the package fully installed. I can't seem to find it anywhere...:'C [22:43] yeah, who replaces the motherboard in a laptop, anyway [22:43] orion1-> maybe, i have not done it for a while, plenty of tutorials out there [22:43] nemilar: I have a backup of those [22:43] Thank you bkar, that did it [22:43] what kind of notebook? [22:43] nemilar, I used the HP restore volume and it still blue screens [22:43] has anyone here ever used OpenVZ on Ubuntu? [22:44] makasd0: did you try apt-get -f install or dpkg -a --configure ? [22:44] Cpudan80: good call [22:44] bieb: but did you try a regular XP cd? [22:44] makasd0-> it may have been installed, which package was it? [22:44] bieb: this really a ##windows question btw [22:44] what do I have to do to make recording work [22:44] nemilar: ppl who know how do [22:44] Hi how do I enable the s-video out port on my thinkpad t40...I'm running ubuntu 7.10 [22:44] I can't get input from my microphone [22:44] Hrm it still doesnt work [22:44] Hi all, I am attempting to install Ubuntu on a VERY old IBM thinkpad (a t21). I'm stuck on the part where it says "Where are you?" (selecting the timezone). I double clicked on the dot that indicates my city (the dot is now blinking), but nothing else has happened. it's been doing that for 10 minutes now. What do I do to continue to the next page? [22:45] nemilar, its a linux question if I am trying to use my ubuntu Cd to do a hardware diagnostic [22:45] It loaded up this time - but then it died [22:45] bieb: the windows restore is probably tied to the hardware, that's why they do it so it's useless to copy... but yeah head to ##windows [22:45] bkar: it was php5; mysql-server; phpmyadmin; apache2; konversation and some more packages [22:45] bieb: what astro76 just said [22:45] thinkpads still using the c&t video set or is it post c&t [22:45] bieb give up and give me the laptop instead..hehe [22:45] johnficca: apt-cache search thinkpad iirc .. also there is a utility iirc.. i have a t20 though so my stuff is probably not like yours [22:45] ok.. so you dont think there is some other hardware issue? [22:45] yoshi: if the installer is frozen on an old system, it might be wise to use the alternate install disc [22:46] bieb: the only issue is you changed your hardware and now you need a full windows install disk [22:46] bieb: see if a regular Windows CD will work with it [22:46] that is why I was trying to boot with *buntu [22:46] I'm kickin my arse right now, everybody that's tried to help me with TwinView...I figured out the problem... [22:46] bieb: if you changed your hardware, you can't use your old restore disk [22:46] bieb, which edition of which version? [22:46] makasd0-> okay, well then did you test those package if they will run? [22:46] What should the fstab and mtab entries for an NTFS drive look like, generally? I am suddenly unable to mount an NTFS partition after (stupidly) trying to modify the permissions for it using chown and chmod. [22:46] ok... I will try the regular Windows.. I wanted to rule out hardware [22:46] Xp Pro [22:46] !botsnack [22:46] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [22:46] orion1, I changed the name, but it had no effect so what I did was change the connection type from Static IP to DHCP and then back to Static IP and Voila! [22:46] ThipThip: are you using FUSE or the kernel NTFS driver? [22:46] my 2nd LCD wasn't plugged in correctly...the plug that goes to the back of my LCD was unplugged....GARRR!!!! [22:46] bieb-> do you really want the xp back of want to stay with ubuntu? [22:47] orion1, take care and thank you for the help! [22:47] nemilar: How can I tell that? (Sorry I've only been using Ubuntu for 4 days) [22:47] Hmm. I done fdisk -l and my ntfs drive is showing up under there as /dev/sda1 which is normal but it's not showing up in thunar. [22:47] ThipThip: by default it'll use the fuse driver [22:47] bkar: well since it's theese packages, I don't really know...you can't *run* php, you can't really run anything before you have a homepage and some database-stuff...well...I will try [22:47] bkar... my laptop.. was converted from Vista to Ubuntu.. since this is not mine and I was doing it as a favor.. she wants to keep Doze [22:47] nemilar: I don't recall taking any action to change it. [22:47] ThipThip: default would be something of the sort: /dev/[device] /mnt/[mountpoint] ntfs defaults,user 0 0 [22:47] makasd0-> well try running your apache and those apps okay? [22:48] take care all [22:48] be back soon to help out ;) [22:48] if you're replacing a motherboard in a notebook it's almost 100% that you'll be replacing with the same thing, excepting maybe a revision difference. [22:48] my sound card doesn't make any sound, it was working with a noise.. and then i went to alsa mixer to see if the volume was too high and it stopped working.. any suggestion?? [22:48] jetscreamer: what is apt-cache? [22:48] Should that be in fstab or mtab? what does user 0 0 mean? How would this have been removed? [22:48] jeffMASTERflex: ado you know of any forms for installing ubuntu through the terminal, or would that just leave me in the same position? [22:48] ThipThip: you can use the 'mount' command to see what the device is, or 'dmesg' if it's not already mounted [22:48] ThipThip: no, it goes in fstab [22:48] bieb, the way you are going about it you just stick in the cd and if it boots great if not then you do this /msg ubotu bootoptions - but it is still not a 100% test [22:48] bieb-> i suggest, you load ubuntu, then virtualbox and then load xp or several other os on virtual box, problem maybe solved! [22:48] bkar: yes thanks very much [22:48] ThipThip: user means that users can interact with it [22:49] :D [22:49] ThipThip: instead of just root [22:49] Am I right in noticing two different print dialogs depending on the program that tries to print? [22:49] yoshi: i do not think there is a terminal based installer on the livecd. The alternate install disc provides an ncurses based graphical installer [22:49] bkar thanks.. [22:49] Could someone help, im using Xfce 4.4.2 with xubuntu just upgraded from 4.4.1 but thunar isn't showing my ntfs drive. it shows up under fdisk -l as /dev/sda1. How do I get Xfce to recongise it? [22:49] bkar: I will do my best to not ask questions...it's just that it is so hard to get going with a new linux, I am new to linux overall and have only used sabayon linux....thanks alot for your time [22:49] ompaul I have no problem loading with Ubuntu or Xubuntu [22:49] ThipThip: gutsy sets it up like this: UUID=xxx /media/windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [22:49] Breakage: is it mounted? [22:49] bieb-> that will give her access to several os'es [22:49] lol Seveas banned me from #ubuntu-offtopic [22:49] Breakage: run the 'mount' command to see a list of mounted drives [22:50] nemilar: ok one sec [22:50] hey someone could help me with my sound card? [22:50] ThipThip: using gid=46 instead of users lets you control access with plugdev group membership, rather than just all users, if that helps ;) [22:50] ljsmithx: hahaha [22:50] bieb, then it has nothing to do with ubuntu so please go elsewhere [22:50] ljsmithx, and I'll do the same from here if you don't behave [22:50] ;) [22:50] can anyone help me setting my wireless up? i am following a forum page but running into an unexplained snag [22:50] wow [22:50] alot of people join all the time [22:50] fxd_: do you have the driver installed? === uel is now known as uel_away [22:50] makasd0-> its not that hard really, spend some time reading linux books too, you will pick up pointers here and there [22:50] nemilar: nope not mounted used to show up in thunar when it was unmounted though, wasn't on automount. [22:51] ljsmithx: yeah this place is pretty crowded [22:51] I believe that is the step I am stuck on [22:51] Breakage: try mounting it, see if it shows up [22:51] ompaul you should go back and read what the first question entailed. I use Ubuntu and wanted to know of a good hardware diagnostic tool to use [22:51] thats why i goto #ubuntu-offtopic, nemilar [22:51] fxd_-> let me guess, broadcom chip on your wifi? [22:51] astro76, et. al.: Currently my fstab lists the following: # Entry for /dev/sdb1 : [22:51] UUID=621C7C841C7C554F /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [22:51] !ndiswrapper > fxd_ [22:51] :O [22:51] bkar: yeah [22:51] ljsmithx: I go to -offtopic so I can say things like how about I skipped work today, etc [22:51] please help! [22:51] bieb, install it h [22:51] lol [22:51] ljsmithx, stop being offtopic in here [22:52] mak [22:52] fxd_-> you are the gazillionth customer with broadcom chip issues.. [22:52] Seveas, ok [22:52] ljsmithx: see, you're already getting us in trouble [22:52] :< [22:52] crwlr: I have ndiswrapper installed, that's not it [22:52] nemilar: it says, "mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [22:52] bkar: any help you cna offer? [22:52] Breakage: were you able to mount the drive? did you need the command for that? [22:52] fxd_-> well see what we can troubleshoot, what you have done so far? [22:53] nemilar: i tried "mount /dev/sda1" [22:53] !ubotu openvz [22:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about openvz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:53] Breakage: try 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 [folder to mount to]' [22:53] makasd0, the packages you talked about don't have a gui,,, with the exception of konversation. Konversation should show up in the menu someplace. The others are configured at the command line by editing their config files. Try /join #ubuntu-server for more assistance. [22:53] Breakage: you might need to do 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1....." [22:53] bkar: i have followed a forum guide and from the terminal I have downloaded drivers and installed ndiswrapper but then I can't get the driver to install [22:53] Breakage: to tell it the type (-t) is NTFS [22:53] nemilar: i tried what folder should i mount to? i'd like the drive to be called HDD [22:54] fxd_-> what command you used to install the driver? and options if any? [22:54] nemilar: I'm confused. My fstab currently has: UUID=621C7C841C7C554F /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [22:54] nemilar: oops "i tried" was part of my last sentance [22:54] Breakage: try: 'sudo mkdir /media/hdd && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/hdd' [22:54] just want to confirm, on 7.10 generic LVM support is not native? has to compile the modules ? [22:54] bkar: I am attempting this step: sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185.inf [22:54] nemilar: ok will do. :) [22:55] !search [22:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about search - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:55] ThipThip: that's not all on one line, is it? [22:55] \o/ [22:55] jetscreamer: thanks. apt-get -f install worked fine. [22:55] fxd_-> and the xxx.sys file is in same directory as that .inf file? [22:55] is it dumb to have a dyndns hostname on the localhost line of a hosts file? [22:55] nemilar: yes it is. [22:55] np [22:55] I can't see my pop3 messages in evolution [22:55] wow, so many people in here it makes mirc freeze when joining. :P [22:55] nemilar that worked thanks but now icon still doesn't show in thunar with mount unmount option. [22:56] rycole: it does [22:56] ThipThip: I don't think that's good [22:56] rycole: Wine could use some work with DIB engine etc. [22:56] bkar: yeah, the file is rtl8185.sys and it's in the same directory as net8185.inf [22:56] nemilar: what shouldn't be there? [22:56] someone could help me with my sound card? it doesn't work! [22:57] fxd_-> and when you issued that ndiswrapper -i command what happens? [22:57] fxd_-> be back in 10 mins..haft to take care of stuff [22:57] Breakage: yeah, it's mounted as root right now, so your normal user can't do it..run 'sudo umount /media/hdd' ; is the drive in your fstab? [22:57] bkar: aaron@jean-pierre:/$ sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185.inf [22:57] couldn't open net8185.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219. [22:58] can anyone assist me with my evolution mail problem? [22:58] ThipThip: try changing the UUID=621C7C841C7C554F part to the /dev/[device] [22:58] ThipThip: and see if that fixes it [22:58] nemilar, or the new uuid? [22:58] Seveas, will I ever be unbanned? [22:58] ljsmithx, #ubuntu-ops [22:58] nemilar: Seriously? But all the entires in fstab begin with UUID=**** [22:58] whats the package name for the static and share versions of opera? [22:59] ThipThip: no wait [22:59] PriceChild: can you help ThipThip out with this? you seem to have a better grasp of his setup [22:59] McKayCR- what's going on? [22:59] nemilar: tried "sudo fstab -l" said command not found [22:59] Breakage: fstab is a file located at /etc/fstab [22:59] nemilar, no idea, just wasn't 100% comfortable with your advice unless it was to be temporary [22:59] cchung, my pop3 mail is getting downloaded but nothing is viewable in the message window [23:00] nemilar: thanks, will check [23:00] how can i tell if i have the static version of opera installed or the shared version? [23:00] Breakage: so do 'cat /etc/fstab | grep sda1' [23:00] libgpod [23:00] PriceChild: yeah I just wanted to see if it would let him mount it [23:00] nemilar: nope not there [23:00] Breakage: is this an internal or external? [23:01] namilar: internal master drive [23:01] nemilar, external drives don't go into fstab [23:01] Hi, I've got a problem with my installing [23:01] PriceChild: my system put them in there for some reason [23:01] what is the appropriate channel for linux and networking? my brother knows how to pick up packages that I send via the LAN, and he can change them into something else and send them. Also he can block so that my computer can't send or recieve any packages. [23:01] Does anyone know if I can install ubuntu through the terminal from the live CD. The graphical installer is not working. [23:02] PriceChild: I think NTFS config rewrote my fstab with my external drive in it [23:02] it's pretty annoying, and I just want to know how I can stop that. Since he know's what I am writing here, at the msn, which homepages I visit and what my passwords are etc. so which is the appropriate channel? [23:02] in 7.10 , why gdm is not using my xorg.conf ? [23:03] show mode [23:04] my screens gets like if i where trying to use a higer refresh rate, but i boot on safe mode, change the xorg.conf, reboot again and there it goes gdm not doing what i spected [23:04] I'm kinda stuck with a broken operating system and an Ubuntu CD (Feisty), but the CD won't give me write privileges to either hard drive (internal and USB external), and I need to shift some files so I have enough space to throw Ubuntu on [23:04] * ThipThip is worried over the sudden inability to mount a very important partition after trying in vain to change the permissions on it. [23:04] hallo === drgeb is now known as frustrated_ubunt [23:05] anyone know if I need smbfs to get samba working between win2k & xp [23:05] hi I just got a new logitech diNovo Keyboard [23:05] couldn't find package pysqlite how can I search for dependencies ? [23:05] and unable to get it to work [23:05] makasd0: use https for web.. I think that makes things a bit harder.. then kick him in the groin.. hard to do anything when he only has one computer to look at [23:05] What causes a partition to or not to be listed with the command dmesg | egrep "hd|sd" ? [23:06] Sorry, I meant What causes a partition to or not to be listed with the command ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -alh? [23:06] makasd0: either you hide what you're doing or you do lots of things so the important stuff gets lost in the flood.. [23:06] anyone use this before [23:06] is there a way to to set all subdirectories in a directory to view as list? so that I dont have to click view -> view as list in each and every directory? [23:06] ThipThip, try blkid.. I know it doesn't answer you question but it will give results. [23:07] scunizi: blkid does not list the partition in question. [23:07] ThipThip, does the partition have data? [23:07] Slart: well that's not really solving anything. I don't really complain about it to him, and I wont harm him physically, but it's sort of a war. Who's the better one (= I just want to win this by not letting him see what I am doing at all. Protect myself, that is. [23:07] scunizi: sure does. About 270GB worth. === troubled_ is now known as troubled [23:08] hi, can anybody give me a comment on the mixed use of aptitude, update-manager, update-notifier, synaptic and apt? [23:08] ThipThip, and you can't get to it? or are you just trying to find out what the syntax error is in the line you mentioned? [23:08] Slart: it's not like he is looking all the time, and most of the time, I sit beside him with my computer. We have both laptops. So do you know any good channel? [23:08] aquo, what kind of comment? [23:08] the cron-job updates package-list with apt-get [23:09] makasd0: nope.. I have no good suggestions for channels.. I'd start with google [23:09] scunizi: I cannot get to it. I tried to change the permissions on it, not realizing that I needed to do that in fstab. [23:09] hello everyone [23:09] 123 [23:09] hello [23:09] hello [23:09] josiah:hello [23:10] I have no write-permissions and no OS (running off a Feisty CD) and I need write permissions so I can get rid of some files on my main HD and get space for an install [23:10] Slart: yes I figured google. Any suggestions for keyword to look for? (: tell me if I am wasting your time. [23:10] has anybody time to answer one simple question please? [23:10] ThipThip, is it sata or ide and does it have its own channel (ide)? [23:10] ide [23:10] !anybody | Rambaldo [23:10] Rambaldo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:10] makasd0: wasting my time? if I didn't want it wasted I wouldn't be sitting here =) [23:10] Slart, :) [23:10] Slart: :D:D:D [23:10] scunizi: It is sata. [23:10] McKayCR- make sure you're in the inbox, clear any filters, and you might want to watch what happens to other folders count going up when you check mail [23:10] how do I run gmail notify automatically on startup? [23:11] I downloaded ubuntu, using browsers, but when I am on the internet, the page fades to gray and freezes every time, nothing helps [23:11] makasd0: anonymous proxy is one thing to search for.. there are services you pay for and there's services that are free.. [23:11] Rambaldo, add it to the startup programs in system -> preferences -> sessions [23:11] ThipThip, and is it the only drive in the machine? [23:11] I read it's under sessions-->startup programs, but then I do not know what command to write [23:11] can i use ubuntu or fedora in my celeron 512 mHz with 190mb ram? [23:11] is er geen nederlandse room?? [23:11] scunizi: No. It is one of two drives. The drive has two partitions, the smaller of which is my linux filesystem, which I'm using right now. [23:11] Rambaldo: the command is simply gmail-notify [23:11] hey folks; I'm running Gutsy and Mercury complains it doesn't run on blackdown java - I thought SUN java was the default on Ubuntu? [23:11] !nl | administrator [23:11] administrator: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [23:12] oke dan [23:12] thanks a lot [23:12] :) [23:12] makasd0: if I were in your position I'd look into tunneling my traffic to a friend.. then you can encrypt that and all your traffic seems to just go to your friend.. [23:12] super thanks [23:12] can i use ubuntu or fedora in my celeron 512 mHz with 190mb ram? [23:12] Slart, makasd0: openvpn does what Slart suggests :) [23:13] ThipThip, so let me make sure I understand. This drive you can't read the partition on is the same drive that has your functional linux install? [23:13] viv145, you can use either [23:13] so, how can i install it? [23:13] makasd0: ah.. there's another good keyword... openvpn.. there are clients for windows/linux etc [23:13] !install | viv145 [23:13] viv145: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[23:13] I am not technical ok, I am a 64 yr old woman who made a cd and am beginning to use ubuntu and my browsers freeze and the page turns gray every time I go anywhere using which ever browser, it does not matter, then I have to shut it down [23:13] jimmygoon, yes -- and iirc the latest versions of evince can do that too [23:13] jimmygoon, should be able to do that most of the time in Document Viewer as well. [23:14] bkar: well, now I've got to take care of stuff, if you get back on and see this, I should probably only be 5 minutes [23:14] ThipThip, have you tried "mount -a" [23:14] the 70s doesnt exist [23:14] fxd_-> issue that command where the inf file is or... put the full paht [23:14] Hi. Is it easy to install Windows with VMware? [23:14] fxd_ actually i have to get off again..be back later [23:14] I am not here for fun ok [23:14] scunizi: Failed to access '/dev/disk/by-uuid/621C7C841C7C554F': No such file or directory [23:14] lgc, yes, put the windows cd in the drive, start the vm and use it like a normal pc [23:15] i've installed apache2 + php and php5-mysql, but cant access MySQL from PHP, maybe because MySQL isnt installed from apt. How can I configure apache and php to work with it? [23:15] those os are easy to use? [23:15] do I have to make an appointment here [23:15] ThipThip, starting to sound like you have a line in fstab for this drive with the wrong uuid #. Might try commenting out the line in fstab dealing with this drive and try mount -a again. [23:15] Seveas, you mean it's not installed? [23:16] !patience | Optamisstec [23:16] PLEASE COULD SOMEONE HELP ME WITH MY SOUND CARD I'VE ALREADY READ THE FORUM AND I COULDN'T FIND ANY SOLUTION!!!!!!!!! [23:16] Optamisstec: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:16] lol === u^A is now known as u^A_ [23:16] the volunteers though are smart... us old ladies are not as fast on our clickers [23:16] lol [23:16] scunizi: Where does a uuid come from? [23:16] Seveas, Scunizi thank you [23:16] Optamisstec, I don't belive for a second that you're an old lady [23:16] so please, someone could help me? [23:17] scunizi: What does mount -a do? I tried commenting it out but mount -a doesn't do anything. [23:17] ThipThip, when you did the install ubuntu assigned a uuid # to the drive/partition based on some type of query/response from the drive. [23:17] ThipThip, now try blkid [23:17] mounts everything in /etc/fstab ThipThip [23:18] ThipThip: 'mount -a' will mount everything listed in /etc/fstab [23:18] hee dennis even een vraagje op #ubunto-nl [23:18] Seveas, you there? [23:18] I have no write-permissions and no OS (running off a Feisty CD) and I need write permissions so I can get rid of some files on my main HD and get space for an install [23:18] scunizi: blkid still does not list the partition [23:18] Slart: thanks. I was away. Well proxy is one thing, and openvpn. But the proxy...hmm...since we are at LAN, he can still block my packets to the proxy, can he not? [23:18] lgc, no, here :) [23:18] tales_2010, explain yur problem, otherwise ppl won't know if they can help. Please tell which vendor and model, and so on [23:18] Logan428, is a NTFS partition? [23:18] Yeah [23:18] then you're buggered [23:18] Damnit [23:18] unless you use ntfs-ng [23:18] grody, 3g ;) [23:19] h [23:19] 3g :) [23:19] which ubuntu can do OOTB as of gutsy [23:19] ntfs-ng? [23:19] ntfs-3g sorry [23:19] ThipThip, can you paste your fstab to pastebin? [23:19] so you can write to ntfs streams [23:19] 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g' while in the LiveCD [23:19] ThipThip, then post the link here. [23:19] OK, thanks, I'm gonna try that now [23:19] makasd0: sure he can block you.. not a lot you can about that [23:20] for some reason, the mozilla-mplayer plugin doesn't show it's controls, and when I try to play a video, it never plays. [23:20] Seveas, I see.... I am not sure if you're implying that Windows is used like a live CD. [23:20] makasd0: unless you find an internet connection of your own [23:20] Logan428: you'll need to remount the NTFS partition after it's installed [23:20] benanzo: OK [23:20] scunizi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53392/ [23:20] Slart: true. Since we are at LAN, he can freely pick up my net-packets and do whatever he likes with them before he sends them away again. (: [23:20] lgc, it's not -- the virtual machine stores your installed windows on the disk and you don't need the CD after installing. For more help with windows: /msg ubotu windows [23:20] ThipThip, thanks.. let me gander for a sec. [23:21] just for review sake, the screen is moving so here goes, I am 64, I downloaded ubuntu, on my dells win xp, made a cd and no matter what browser I use, the pages fade out and freeze and the address bar blinks and pages jump... and I am old... 64,, you guys dont even know how smart you are and fast [23:21] Slart: sometimes what I write at the msn to someone is not the same as they got it :D:D:D [23:21] I'm not sure, but I think it requires root to write to the disk -- 'gksudo nautilus' should give you access [23:21] makasd0: yes.. but if you're encrypting your traffic he won't know what to do with it.. [23:21] benanzo: It says "couldn't find package" [23:21] scunizi: I'm very new to ubuntu, but itching to learn. If there's anything you can point out that will help me not only fix but understand this problem, I'd much appreciate it.l [23:21] You need to enable the repo [23:21] hey folks; I'm running Gutsy and Mercury complains it doesn't run on blackdown java - I thought SUN java was the default on Ubuntu? [23:21] makasd0: try to find a msn client that supports some kind of encryption.. don't know if there are any.. [23:22] ThipThip, working on it :) [23:22] i have problems with snd-hda-intel + alsa... someone could help? [23:22] when i installed ubuntu, my soundboard was working, i could listen to music and so on, but there was a hiss with the sound, then it stopped working suddenly, my soundboard is -> card 0: VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital] [23:22] lusepuster, it's not since it's non-free [23:22] Benanzo: repo? (Sorry, I'm kinda new and wasn't hoping that it would all mess up) [23:22] ThipThip, so one of your drives is just one large fat32 drive? [23:22] Slart: since he is using lame programs...the encryption wont work. He deciphers it and well...since he knows my passwords too (= [23:22] scunizi: Yep. [23:22] Seveas, do you happen to know if the 'Windows Rescue CD' from Dell has the full OS in it? [23:22] go to Software Sources in the admin menu and enable all the sources on the Ubuntu Software tab [23:23] Slart: the thing is that he picks up my network traffic. [23:23] makasd0: change them then [23:23] scunizi: That one is IDE. The other is SATA and NTFS. [23:23] makasd0: change them from the library or sometihng [23:23] then it will reload the index and you should find it [23:23] does anyone know why my synaptic mangager & update manager has quit working [23:23] lgc, no idea [23:23] Seveas, Oh I thought they had freed it completely... Still, I have the sun-java-jre6 installed, what else would a java app need to run? [23:23] ThipThip, an NTFT... that was going to be my other question. [23:23] lusepuster, they're still working on that [23:23] lusepuster, you might need to run update-java-alternatives [23:23] Hey is somebody speak french ? [23:23] scunizi: I don't know what NTFT is. [23:23] benanzo: Thanks, just doing that now [23:23] i have problems with snd-hda-intel + alsa... someone could help?

I just typed alsamixer in a terminal and i got that [23:27] then you can enable NTFS write support for the internal disk [23:27] where can I download Xubuntu for powerpc [23:28] McKayCR, http://ports.ubuntu.com [23:28] scunizi: Why give sdb1 the /dev/sdb setting and all the rest the uuid?

[23:28] McKayCR, actually, not there... hang on [23:28] in the terminal type gnome-volume-control soumn [23:28] McKayCR, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ [23:28] ThipThip, it's the older way of assigning a drive.. in Dapper LTS 6.06 before they started using uuid. It should still work. After making the change you'll have to "mount -a" [23:29] Seveas, I need version 6.04 [23:29] Seveas - actually 6.06 [23:29] benanzo: Just remounted, and it still says no write permissions [23:29] scunizi: mount -a gives me this: The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [23:29] Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a [23:29] partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? [23:29] try as root [23:29] McKayCR, back then ppc was still supported [23:29] gksudo nautilus [23:29] to open the filebrowser as root [23:29] ThipThip, ok.. does that partition have windows on it?

Yes it does but the windows, volume, and program files folders are moved to a folder called "old" [23:30] how can I unmount a drive in the terminal [23:31] umount /dev/sdaX [23:31] replace X with the partition number [23:31] scunizi: How can I get ubuntu to issue a uuid to the drive the same way it did during installation? Everything was working absolutely fine until I tried to change the permissions for this drive. [23:31] or the mount point [23:31] umount /media/usbdisk [23:31] for instance [23:31] benanzo: it has to be Sudo-ed right? [23:31] ThipThip, ok..what did you do to mess with the partitions.. change something in fstab? [23:32] Yes, if the drive is not mounted with the 'user' option [23:32] sudo umount /media/usbdisk [23:32] scunizi: No. I logged on as root, right-clicked, and went to "permissions" [23:32] or if it was someone other than the user who mounted it in the first place [23:32] IS [23:32] Name of the partner: InterSoft, a. s.

[23:32] benanzo: many thanks my brotha [23:32] Seveas - thanks. the reason why i need 6.06 is because if I try installing anything higher, it wont install right, but if i start at 6.06 and then use update manager, I can slowly upgrade to 7.10 [23:33] No Prob [23:33] damn mouse [23:33] Seveas - and I need xubuntu because regular ubuntu is using too much cpu on my powerbook g4 [23:33] scunizi: Yes I did.

[23:39] benanzo: Just says the log-file is unclean and I should boot Windoze (impossible, it's dead as a doorknob) OR run ntfsfix v 1.13.1 [23:40] is there a database of different apt-get databases? i would like to find one with mod_wsgi for Apache. [23:40] hi [23:40] Logan428: I'm not sure why it would matter but you can try installing 'ntfs-config' which handles mounting a little better I think [23:40] Seveas, is Windows 'stable' under VMWare? [23:40] i've installed skencil, but it doesn't run [23:40] here is the log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3840/ [23:40] lgc, just as unstable as on a real pc [23:41] it will add a menu option to Applications -> System Tools -> NTFS Configuration Tool [23:41] Seveas, of course, but does it get worse? [23:41] benanzo: Installing now [23:41] lgc, no [23:41] crimsun, jailsonbrito.com/error.txt [23:41] Seveas, and does Ubuntu gets slower or anyhow more problematic? [23:42] lgc, you're running an extra os, of course things will get a bit slower [23:42] benanzo: The install's finished in Terminal, but there's no System Tools bit in Applications [23:42] soumn_pwned: sec [23:42] lgc, but ither than that no side effects [23:42] lgc, there's no registry to bog down linux [23:42] just do 'sudo ntfs-config' in the terminal [23:42] Seveas, but you can switch it off easily, I suppose. [23:43] lgc, shutdown the VM and done :) [23:43] bkar: sorry for the late response, what is AP? [23:43] soumn_pwned: cat /proc/asound/version [23:43] Seveas, that's nice. [23:43] benanzo: Perfect, if it works. [23:43] soumn_pwned: what does this last command return? [23:43] Good to hear [23:44] Scunizi, actually there is, but it's not abused like windows abuses the registry for storing everythong === jaggy is now known as jaggy||sleeping [23:44] benanzo: It wouldn't let me access writing for hte internal drive, but I can back up my files on the external now [23:44] Seveas, that's what I was trying to get across. :) [23:44] Seveas, can you throw your virtualized Windoze in a separate partition? [23:44] benanzo: Or, not...... [23:45] crimsun, wait [23:45] lgc, if you want [23:45] Re-mount the drives after you enable writing [23:45] benanzo: Oh yeah :) [23:45] hi all, anyone know how I can upgrade firefox from the package manager? [23:45] trelayne, upgrade, what do you mean ? [23:45] Seveas, but is it an ext3/reiserfs partition or an ntfs one? [23:45] hey guys, im having trouble printing to a windows printer in ubuntu gutsy [23:45] crimsun, Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.15. [23:45] Compiled on Jan 24 2008 for kernel 2.6.22-14-rt (SMP). [23:46] lgc, if you run vmware on linux, you should store the vmd files on a linux fs [23:46] PriceChild, if i'm going sleeping i set my nick to sleeping, and nowane will change that, but thanx for the warning trough ubotu anyway =_= [23:46] trelayne: you can't upgrade 2.0.11 but you can install Firefox 3.0 beta with 'sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0' [23:46] neverblue, I have version 2.0.0.4 and I would like to get the latest version [23:46] they'll both be installed then [23:46] i have 2.0.0.11 [23:46] hmm [23:46] I found FF3 to be too buggy still -- and slowish (probably from all the debug code still inside it) [23:46] soumn_pwned: grep -nHr 'options snd-hda-intel' /etc/modprobe.d/* [23:46] benanzo, is it stable? I'm still using feisty fawn [23:46] trelayne, sudo aptitude update [23:46] Hi,everyone! Is there any support for the second edition of Logitech' G15 gaming keyboard? [23:47] Seveas, I see. And can I update such Windoze regularly as updates come up, like the 'real' one? [23:47] benanzo: Re-mounted, and still the same error [23:47] lgc, Seveas vmware even has a tool to create the vm files out of a functional windows install. take the files and move them to the linux side and load. [23:47] but it's neat to see it. There's some really nice new features [23:47] crimsun, grep -nHr 'options snd-hda-intel' /etc/modprobe.d/* [23:47] soumn_pwned: yes, what's the output? [23:47] can anybody help me out with my printer problem? [23:47] SnakeArtworX, theres tools that let the lcd and other parts work. but they are not included by default in Ubuntu. You will need to compile them from the source. [23:47] !ask | MI_5 [23:47] MI_5: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:47] crimsun, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base:41:options snd-hda-intel model=hp [23:47] soumn_pwned: heh, wrong model. [23:47] Scunizi, sadly there is no such thing as a 'functional windows install' :) [23:48] SnakeArtworX, not sure how the 1st ed and 2ed differ. I got the first ed. I can use the lcd for information and other bits. [23:48] hello [23:48] !anyone | MI_5 [23:48] MI_5: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:48] benanzo: Re-mounting had no effect, any more ideas? [23:48] Scunizi, you mean I can replicate the 'real' Windows' install on a virtualized partition? [23:48] Seveas, haha.. but you're wrong.. if you never plug it into the net.......... might survive the night! :) [23:48] Err guys i get this offly alot:Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [23:48] or Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":2.0". [23:48] Scunizi, :) [23:48] i just want ubuntu gutsy to print to my windows printer [23:48] Logan428: Did you try as root? [23:49] Logan428: type: [23:49] jaggy||sleeping, read the link, to find out about the inbuilt /away function of the irc protocol... so that only people that are interested find out you are sleeping. [23:49] soumn_pwned: actually, no, that's correct. Sorry. Try removing that from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, however. [23:49] microsoft makes windows printers now, who woulda thunk [23:49] lgc.. yes.. it grunts and grinds creating all the vmx files needed.. copy and move to a directory on you linux machine then just point to it with vmware.. [23:49] hi good night [23:49] * neverblue shrugs [23:49] 'mount' and look for the line that's your NTFS drive and paste it here [23:49] anyone knows any good wallpaper switcher (random time for example) for ubuntu ... [23:49] i have tried desktop drapes, wallpapoz and other alike but they crash frequently :s [23:49] soumn_pwned: also, did you compile alsa-driver using --with-debug=full ? [23:49] crimsun, i used 3stack b4... builtin speakers worked... but not headphone jack.... ive seen in some forums that model=hp should solve this problem ( i mean.. i am using in a hp laptop tx1000 series) [23:49] smink, drapes never crashed for me so far, what do you do to the poor thing? :) [23:49] crimsun, no... [23:50] soumn_pwned: yes, that seems to be the correct model. [23:50] Dr_willis: I've already downloaded and compiled these drivers, but there was no effect. One of the programs replied with info that it seems that I haven't connected the keyboard.\ === ramon is now known as mEck0 [23:50] is there a channel for python programming? [23:50] can someone give me a hand getting my other desktop to work on the net. [23:50] crimsun, any clues? [23:50] Scunizi, that's great...even when the MBR is screwed up? (The point is if it needs the boot sector at all). [23:50] It says it is connected but it will not show [23:50] !anyone | pastor [23:50] pastor: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:51] !enter > pastor [23:51] lgc, well if you can't boot to it you can't run the program.. you have to run it from within a current functional windows install [23:51] nevervlue, what is !enter? [23:51] hi, which dvb-s software would you recommend? [23:51] bod_, #python [23:51] benanzo: /dev/hda1 on /media/disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8) [23:52] I'm totally lost. [23:52] Nothing seems to work. [23:52] !ask | ThipThip [23:52] ThipThip: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:52] Logan428: you tried as root also? [23:52] soumn_pwned: please recompile alsa-driver 1.0.15 using --with-debug=full [23:52] benanzo: Yeah [23:52] ok.. gonna try it now [23:52] Scunizi, I see...:(. [23:52] ThipThip, what happened on reboot [23:52] scunizi: same symptoms. The error message appeared on reboot just as it does with mount -a [23:53] add this line to your /etc/fstab file: [23:53] When I look under netwoek tools it shows that there is a connection to the computer, but i can't seem to get goodle t oshow up. Or any other web site. Thoughts? [23:53] i need help with keyboard layouts,.,. i changed my layout from English US to English UK and i removed the US one from the sub-list,. but when i reboot it tells me i have an English layout but i have a US layout because things are in the wrong place,., i have to remoove the UK one then add the UK one just to get the right keyboard,. anyone got any good ideas? [23:53] /dev/hda1 /media/disk ntfs-3g rw,user,defaults 0 0 [23:53] Scunizi, but in the affirmative case, will it be able to update regularly? [23:53] neverblue, ta for the python [23:53] SnakeArtworX, last i messed with it - there were like 4 or 5 different libs and tools I compiled. I think theres 2 'ways' to get the lcd going. But its been 5+ mo since i last messed with it. [23:53] then do: 'sudo umount /media/disk' [23:53] bod_: there is two uk keyboards layouts actually [23:53] bod_, np [23:54] then do: 'mount /media disk' [23:54] Not as root [23:54] kitche, really? [23:54] do re-mount as root [23:54] SnakeArtworX, then you had to run one tool as the root user. ( i ran it from rc.local) then the users could connect to the lcd feature. [23:54] *don't [23:54] ThipThip, sorry to say I'm also totally lost at this point.. I don't have read/write setup on my dual boot as yet. Ask again here. Looks like benanzo might have some insights.. he's working with someone else on the same issue I think. [23:54] kitche, my comp only lists 1 [23:55] what should i partition a partition for ubuntu as [23:55] bod_: the other one is not called uk have uk in the name at all if I remember correctly [23:55] toucansam, ext3 [23:55] ok [23:55] ext2 [23:55] benanzo: I made the mistake of logging in as root and trying to change the permissions on an NTFS permission instead of using fstab. Now that partition will not mount. What can I do? [23:55] ext3 [23:55] haha [23:55] kitche, do u have any suggestions to my problem ? [23:55] Dr_willis: Thanks. I will try it this way. Maybe it will work. [23:55] help getting the downstairs computer using Ubuntu to get online? [23:55] benanzo: It tells me that I don't have permission to save the fstab file.... [23:55] Any takers? [23:56] yap pastor pvt me [23:56] Logan428, u need to open ur text editor using sudo [23:56] Logan428: Oh yeah you need to be root to do it [23:56] what is probably the most space i would need for ubuntu? i think i'm bout to dual boot with vista, and i [23:56] 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab' [23:56] m not sure how much space for each [23:56] that will let you save it [23:56] toucansam, 30GB is more than enough [23:56] alright cool === Jinxed- is now known as jo1 [23:56] toucansam-> am sure 1.6 gig will not fit [23:56] bod_: not really since I never really looked at a uk keyboard I just know other users that are from the uk but use a different layout and it's not dvorak layout either [23:56] Is there any support for Asus D2X X-Fi soundcard? [23:56] ThipThip: hang on just a sec [23:56] bkar: do I need to specify a mount point? [23:57] toucansam, for /, but I like to use a bunch for /home, and a partition for a Swap (of course) [23:57] toucansam-> yes [23:57] Scunizi, Seveas, will the virtualized Windoze be able to update regularly? [23:57] can someone help me, i have a keyboard layout which keeps defaulting to English US even though its set to UK [23:57] lgc, if you don't tell vmware not to give it a networkconnection, then it can. It's just like a normal pc [23:58] lgc a virtualized winxx install will act just like a normal install with all the updates and everything. [23:58] Seveas, Scunizi, great, thanks. I'm downloading vmware now. [23:58] ThipThip: you need to install 'ntfsprogs' and run 'ntfsfix /dev/sdaX' to fix the permissions corruption [23:58] lgc, apt-get install vmware-server [23:59] lgc, you need the canonical partner repository enabled [23:59] ok, so i feel kinda stupid cause this is my first *nix os (other than mac). I'm making a 30 gig partition of ext3 for ubuntu at /. I need to make a swapfile, but how much space and where should the mount point be? and what do you put ag home neverblue ? [23:59] hello. I have a couple questions regarding 7.04. I'm having issues
