It's saying something about se the default to three - [00:20] <---nothing running that needs to be saved -= thank god lol [00:20] techgeek40: follow this if you want to install manually [00:20] I have a Windows partition on the harddrive, how do I get of it so the entire HDD is used for Ubuntu? [00:20] techgeek40: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [00:20] techgeek40-> runlevel will telll you which level you are on [00:20] bkar - at this point i have little experience, so that would be just, say 'unmount /dev/hda' ?

[00:22] Al2O3: You want to install every package from every repo?

This could possibly be related to the wireless.jammin [00:22] no odysseas, it doesn't seem to find it.

Is there a way to tell Ubuntu not to bother me about updating a specific program? [00:23] jkapsner: that's odd, it should find it, try this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28grub%29 [00:23] unop bkar - i was going to alt install so i can fix a "moniter out of range" error i have trying to boot any kind of x [00:23] RequinB4, what OS/Distro are you running to have the root shell up?

[00:25] I take it that is where I will find all the info I need [00:25] techgeek40: it says which packages you need [00:25] tinman: try using epiphany browser. use synaptic to install it or apt-get whatever you prefer [00:25] Okay - will do - thank you again [00:25] joe_, yw [00:25] RequinB4-> am not familiar around knoppix livecd, type mount instead to see what is mounted, [00:26] _Martin23254: not recognized in the motherboard bios? [00:26] RequinB4-> if none is mounted, fdisk -l to see what partitions it can possibly mount [00:26] Ahh, thanks IdleOne, also very little of the swap is used, i know only some tasks are kept in swap, but is there a way to make my computere utilize more swap [00:27] tinman: I dont know . can try looking on the forums or ask in here [00:27] RequinB4, in the shell - does this command bring up anything -- man testdisk ? [00:27] tinman-> you dont want your process to be swapped, its preferable to stay in the ram [00:27] i'm trying to make it so i can access my computer from the internet via vnc. My computer's Internet (the remote computer) runs through a ubuntu server acting as a gateway. how do i get to the remote desktop? [00:27] IdleOne: thank you [00:27] bkar - thx for those commands... mounted (important) /dev/hdc, could mount /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2. hda2 is bootable with a bunch of blocks, so i'd assume thats my window$ one i want to erase/parition [00:27] bkar: ahh, i am not really sure, guess i will have to read on swap [00:27] tinman: seems ram is better for the processes. assume ram handles it faster/better [00:27] as per bkar [00:28] mount -t ext3 /mnt/usbdrive [00:28] mount: only root can do that [00:28] unop - manual is there [00:28] Are there processes that i can kill maybe? i have turned off bluetooth and someother stull [00:28] stuff* [00:28] If I buy any external hard drive from best buy this evening can I expect it will work with Ubuntu?

And when I type, some letters on the keyboard are replaced with numbers(very annoying and crippling.) This is on a Gateway laptop, and I had to change my xorg.conf to use the right resolution, and had to install and use ndiswrapper to get the wireless card [00:29] I think I fucked up my ubuntu gnome user session or something like that :( [00:29] unop - how would i get out of the manual [00:29] Chat452, you've got the command wrong -- and you need sudo [00:29] RequinB4-> what were you attempting to do again? recover some data? [00:29] Shpook: your keymap is probably wrong [00:29] how* [00:29] RequinB4, press q or ctrl+x [00:29] odysseas, fyi, this happened when I was updating Ubuntu and restarting the computer to install new updates. Maybe that eliminated windows from the grub bootup menu? [00:29] !language | kaboem [00:29] kaboem: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I would run dpkg-reconfigure, right? [00:30] Chat452, the command is invalid [00:30] bkar - means i need to parition the drive, which gives me an I/O error [00:30] unop how? [00:30] something seems to be blocking my ports, how can I find out what it is ( no firewall installed) ? [00:30] how can i create extended partition in ubuntu ??? pls help!!

Minitab 15.0: the statistical analysis package. [00:30] wolferine: router? [00:31] what do i have to download to find out in depth information about my system cpu mainly ??? like spec number, etc... [00:31] mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive [00:31] mount: only root can do that [00:31] RequinB4-> before doing the repartitioning/erasing, you have save the data you already need right? [00:31] Chat452, prefix that with sudo [00:31] Alternatively, are there any open source substitutes to Minitab 15.0 ? [00:31] unop - "teskdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:31] IdleOne, its working the other way, so i dont think its that [00:31] odysseas: Okay, thank you. That takes care of two problems. [00:31] unop, but I'm trying to set it up so a user can do it [00:31] IdleOne, on that page there is no category for external hard drive, or even hard drive.

What does this mean? [00:32] emma: was not sure if there was try googling see what others are buying [00:32] chafka: with gparted [00:32] jkapsner: basically you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for windows, its pretty simple, but startupmanager is ubuntu's tool to edit that file and it recommended to use that [00:32] odysseas: Hmm...is there a way to run that without using keystrokes? [00:32] RequinB4, it looks like a partition is ntfs and testdisk doesnt fully have support for ntfs built in [00:32] RequinB4-> okay you can start doing your fsck, and re-partitioning [00:32] !gparted | chafka [00:32] chafka: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [00:32] Now I'm getting frustrated - [00:32] wolferine: all that means is it is going out but does not mean the router is letting in. it can be blocking [00:32] is there an alternative to xchat-gnome that actually has a user list? [00:32] odysseas: I type "dpkg" and get "d*2g" [00:32] Is there any Lan chat that will connect with my windows pc? [00:32] Chat452, you need pmount if you want users to mount devices -- that or edit the sudoers file to give certain users abaility to mount [00:32] I typed sudo apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r` and I get the error E: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.22-14-386 [00:32] Chat452, i'd go with pmount, it's better, and safer [00:32] is there anyone out there who rights aps for linux? someone who can take a windows ap and make it into a linux ap?

Thank you. :-) [00:33] techgeek40: use something like *apt-cache search linux-source* first and see whats out there [00:33] Chat452, it's likely that the partition already has an entry in /etc/fstab|mtab and the user is able to mount it -- in any case, pmount [00:34] If anyone who is helping me thinks it matters, i can't mount hda2 because NTFS is unclean (windows can't properlly shutdown, yes the comp is buggy) [00:34] /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive ext3 noauto,noatime,user,exec,sync,gid=1004,umask=770 0 0 [00:34] its a usb hd [00:34] chafka: if you already have four primary partitions you can not make another one (extended or primary) you eed to delete a primary partition and make a new one on its place this time extended [00:34] Does anyone know about open source alternatives to Minitab ?

[00:35] techgeek40: did you try sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx first and then edit xorg.conf with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pick the nvidia driver? Its much easier this way [00:35] Shpook: lots of times [00:35] techgeek40: lol it';s not a fun feeling [00:35] Odysseas: yeah I did but I got the error about the Kernel tree [00:36] RequinB4-> you only need to mount if something you need to access and recover some kind of data [00:36] odysseas: got the menu.lst on my terminal, Windows is Not on it, how do I add it?

[00:36] bkar - thx [00:36] how do i unmount [00:36] And yes I did do the sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx and rebooted and then ran through the configuration for the xorg and it still just sits there and does nothing - it simply won't boot [00:36] hi all [00:36] RequinB4; sudo umount /mount/point [00:37] RequinB4-> umount /mountedpartition [00:37] how do i connect to vnc on a remote computer which is behind a server doing NAT?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:04] LjL: news to me [01:04] nickrud: forgive me...it's been more than a couple years since I've used linux except for when administering apache, mysql strictly through command line...i've decided to give the whole desktop OS piece a try after moving from Mac on the desktop....so I apologize in advance [01:04] kr00l: windows is my suggestion, but wine works for some [01:04] hello, does anyone know where the firefox executable file is located? [01:05] filthpig, strange [01:05] ouellettesr: /usr/bin [01:05] ouellettesr, 'which firefox' [01:05] josh89: ubuntu has a *much* newer version of compiz installed by default [01:05] ghostz: welcome then. You're gonna have an easier time than some :) [01:05] Err guys is there a way to install this without a CD i have an Old Labtop no CD USB or even a floppy drive.. [01:05] id like to install it on [01:05] kr00l, i'd hang up the idea on wine if you have an ati card [01:05] LjL: ty [01:05] ouellettesr: which firefox-bin on a terminal [01:05] nickrud: why does linux suck for games. I have UT3 and Enemy Territory but I want to play Call of Duty 4 and it won't work in linux [01:05] Darkmystere - what ports do you have O.o [01:05] it currently has a verrrh old version of windows on it.. [01:05] ahh thanks [01:05] filthpig, prefix ffmpeg with echo -- are all the files listed in the output? [01:05] its very slow [01:05] nickrud: I fear my only problem will be laziness...it's a curse === W6JCN is now known as ttech === ttech is now known as Ttech [01:05] Darkmystere: you could try at network install [01:05] i have an Ethernet cord 0.o [01:05] kr00l: because the manufacturers don't always create a version for linux [01:05] filthpig, i.e. echo ffmpeg -i "$f" ... [01:06] No wireless card.. [01:06] kr00l: make that, 'rarely' [01:06] nickrud: they should [01:06] Darkmystere: no network? [01:06] Darkmystere: does it have a floppy and an ethernet port? [01:06] erUSUL: that didn't return anything [01:06] Yea...but i tried using the ethernet cord [01:06] It tells me that the sound device /dev/dsp is busy, so VMware can't play any sound, can I get some help please? [01:06] doesnt work lol [01:06] Darkmystere - if your computer is that old, realize ubuntu is fairly big [01:06] bkar: the issue is that i can't access the gateway server via ssh directly. it has to go through a server which i doubt has the ability to forward X11 as it's a completely gui-less shell server [01:06] it has a [01:06] 45GB hardrive [01:06] Darkmystere: maybe put the hard drive in another machine for the install? [01:06] !enter | Darkmystere [01:06] Darkmystere: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:06] theres no ethernet port either >.> [01:06] ouellettesr: is which firefox sorry [01:07] BetaTest: close all programs using sound [01:07] thanks [01:07] Darkmystere - what ports do you have [01:07] No samba help In #samba.. Either LOL [01:07] err... RequinB4 Second im looking around it lol\\ [01:07] un0p, could we chat in a pm? It's hard to follow the text here.. :s [01:07] BetaTest: run lsof /dev/dsp to find the programs that are using it [01:08] filthpig, ok, pm me [01:08] Darkmystere - its a question of finding the right method. People have put linux in their car stereos [01:08] Ash908-> then somehow you have to port forward, those along the middle [01:08] compwiz18 last night I had sound working for both VM and the actual Ubuntu box [01:08] err i can hook a printer up to it lol [01:08] hey everyone i need help with repositories i'm trying to get sdlmame for gusty 7.10 and they only have a seriously old version of xmame insted for the mediabuntu reposity listed [01:08] And I don't think I'm running anything that uses sound here anyway [01:08] and it has a labtop wireless card bus slot [01:08] BetaTest: are you having a problem that /dev/dsp is busy, but you're not using any apps w/ sound? [01:08] Yup yup [01:08] BetaTest: yeah I've had that problem before [01:08] i'm using mythbuntu 7.10 [01:09] BetaTest: run 'lsof | grep /dev/snd' [01:09] or 'lsof | grep /dev/dsp' [01:09] and the only repository in thrird party is the mediabuntu repository [01:09] medibuntu [01:09] BetaTest: that'll usually find the culprit [01:09] requin: Is there a way to boot it without removing anything and installing it also could i do somthing like using Ubuntu to burn it to a partion [01:09] then boot from that? [01:10] lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuseblk file system /media/exharddrive [01:10] Output information may be incomplete. [01:10] So I take it the HDD is causing the problem? O.o [01:10] no no [01:10] using gutsy, after coming back from suspend, sometimes the NetworkManager will run upto 100% cpu cycles. I'm looking at it using top. How do I kill the networkmanager? [01:10] i do have a CD thing but... no CD-r or CD-RW unless theres a way to make a CD-R rewriteable im Stumped... [01:10] BetaTest: did you grep for /dev/snd ? [01:10] bkar: let me try making the gateway server listen on port 443 and see if i can connect. [01:10] Yeah, and that was the only thing that popped up [01:10] BetaTest: there's an app that's hooked into your sound card and not giving it up [01:11] Darkmystere - all you need is a CD-R to boot it, you need a CD-W at least to make the cd, which you can do on another comp [01:11] BetaTest: try 'lsof | grep "/dev/"' and scroll through, see if you can find something that looks suspicious [01:11] noodles12: sudo pkill NetworkManager ; sudo NetworkManager & to restart [01:11] does anyone know what repository list i addto the thirparty list so i can get SDLMAME 0.220 ? [01:11] Can anyone tell me how to tell what resolution my moniter is? [01:12] i have no CD-Rs or CD-RW nor the DVD equivilant to burn to.. [01:12] BetaTest: or maybe you have an xmms process that you closed, but it's still hanging around (ps aux | grep xmms) (or whatever you might think of) [01:12] does anyone know what repository list i need to add to the third party list so i can get SDLMAME 0.220 ? [01:12] It seems like a innocous question but its pretty critical [01:12] nickrud: thanks [01:12] !repeat | bear [01:12] bear: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:12] Why is it that VMware and the box itself can't share the sound? [01:12] RequinB4: go to System --> Preferences -> Screen Resolutions, it is the selected one [01:12] Oh and nemilar, that did the trick, thank you [01:12] or where i can find a list of recommend third party list of repositories ? [01:12] Thx, but i meant as a hardware thing [01:12] which res x will like [01:12] BetaTest: np, that's an annoying as heck problem, it took me months to figure it out. a restart always fixes it though [01:13] i used most of them trying to Burn backtrack i heard it was possible to burn to a partion and then boot with grub from that but wouldnt know how to find a guide to do this [01:13] (I don't have ubuntu installed yet) [01:13] Yeah I've tried that several times, and no go [01:13] RequinB4: are you using an LCD? [01:13] bear: no such thing. the only repository i generally feel comfortable recommending (when and if needed) is medibuntu... winehq too perhaps, if bleeding-edge wine is a requirement. [01:13] nemilar - yes [01:13] all i have to work with on that other PC is a Ubuntu Live CD.. [01:13] TV [01:13] RequinB4: LCDs have a native resolution you should always use [01:13] Use whatever that is [01:13] and its not reading it right ... [01:13] bear: http://wallyweek.altervista.org/ [01:14] nemilar: i think that's what he's asking ;) [01:14] nemilar - my question was how to figure that out [01:14] the res is WAAY tooo big i cant even adjust it [01:14] nemilar is there any way to make the share the sound device, or does it have to be either or? [01:14] oh, lol [01:14] i tried safe mode not working.. [01:14] RequinB4: you can google your monitor brand/model [01:14] point. brb [01:14] BetaTest: normally it'll work fine, multiple apps can share it...sometimes an app will just get greedy and not give it up, for some reason. It seems to happen with XMMS sometimes [01:15] Is there a LiveCD or something of the like that will detect all the Operating Systems installed on a computer and then write a bootloader to the MBR that will list them all? [01:16] nemilar it looked like I had a FireFox client open that wasn't shown, but I wouldn't think that a web browser alone would kill the sound, would it? [01:16] thank you everyone [01:16] What setting do I change to make icons for my home folder, usb drive, ect appear on the desktop? [01:16] bear: did you get that sdlmame link? [01:16] bpage-: gconftool /apps/nautilus/desktop [01:17] bpage-: erm, gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [01:17] anyone know how to recover a lost nickserve password? [01:18] eightbit: you need to ask freenode staff. /stats p or #freenode [01:18] eightbit: I asked in #freenode [01:18] ♥ ah [01:18] hi guys, i've lost a lot of status icons in my panel, do you know how to restore them? [01:18] BetaTest: it could be, I've had flash do that to me a couple of times [01:18] riotkittie: -ot is the other tab [01:18] Ah, so it's a webpage rather than a client itself [01:19] i dont have tabs. and that wasnt intentional. :T [01:19] !resetpanel | cheesypieces [01:19] cheesypieces: To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in. [01:19] nickrud: perfect!! worked like a charm! Is it possible to do that through the system/ preferences menu? [01:20] nemilar one more thing before I go, I've got a second partition, which happens to be WinXP, how would I get rid of it so Ubuntu uses the entire HDD? [01:20] bpage-: not that I know of [01:20] un0p, are you getting my msgs? [01:20] ok, i have a linksys (ralink) wireless card installed on my machine, it picks it up just fine in the lspci but i am unable to get any signal regonized when i do a scan [01:20] bpage-: but I've been using the gconf-editor so long I forget what all can be done in prefs sometimes [01:20] BetaTest: burn a gparted LiveCD, you can delete the NTFS partition and resize your ubuntu partition to use the whole drive [01:20] and i'm like 3 feet from the wireless router [01:21] filthpig, but it uses gstreamer ugly does it matter? -- were the laste messages i got from you [01:21] BetaTest: as always, backup your files first! [01:21] s/laste/last/ [01:21] sivik: are you using the native drivers? [01:21] erm, how do i open the .gconf folder? [01:21] yes, that came with the kernel since like 2.5 whatever [01:21] it just tells me i don't have permissions [01:21] cheesypieces, you can use the "rm" command. [01:22] cheesypieces, have you tried opening that folder as root [01:22] nemilar already backed up ;) And where would I find gparted, and what is it? [01:22] no i haven't, how do i do that? [01:22] un0p, those were the last :) But I get none from you? [01:22] I establish a VPN connection with my work (Cisco VPN). The connection works and I'm able to ping my remote exchange server by name "Exuexu04". However, if I attempt to ping my workstation by name I get a message indicating it can't find the machine. However, if I connect to my workstation by IP address all is fine. Could someone explain why this is happening? Thanks [01:22] cheesypieces: or, you could just try adding the panel icons back manually... [01:22] nickrud: I've been switching distro's so much I cant remember wich had what settings. It my have been Mint XFCE that had it. [01:22] BetaTest: it's the gnome partitioning program [01:22] sivik: what is it exactly -- rt81? rt2570? something else? [01:22] filthpig, i replied " it shouldnt do, 'ugly' refers to the legal side of things here" [01:22] rt2500 [01:22] ljl, its not the icons its the little status things [01:22] BetaTest: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [01:22] filthpig, you should be ok [01:22] cheesypieces: the notification area? [01:22] ok [01:22] (rev 01) [01:23] does anyone have any suggestions for fixing my WMV and video playback in general? It used to play back fine and now I'm just seeing multicolored patches for every video in every player... [01:23] sivik: are you trying to use network-manager? [01:23] kwifinetwork as well as command line [01:23] riotkittie, it picks up the wireless points but all of them have 0/100 signal strenght [01:23] un0p, the program doesnt seem to work though [01:23] but i'm currently connected with this laptop to the same network and the drives for this suck [01:23] nemilar then wouldn't it be easier to just intall it via apt-get, and then run it? [01:24] ljl, yes the status area [01:24] BetaTest: you can't resize a partition you're currently using ;) [01:24] Ah, good call [01:25] ubotu resetpanels is to reset the panel to defaults, type in a terminal gconf-tool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [01:25] riotkittie, i'm using kde [01:25] sivik: have you considered ndiswrapper? i have a d-link adapter with the same chipset... and i've never been able to get the native driver to work well :| [01:25] If i choose a incompatible xserver resolution for my newly installed ubuntu box, and i'm subsequently unable to run x, will i be able to change this via a shell later on? [01:26] filthpig, ahh well, :) [01:26] riotkittie, i hate ndiswrapper [01:26] !fixres | RequinB4 [01:26] RequinB4: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [01:26] riotkittie, i can never get it to work [01:26] nickrud: shouldn't that be gconftool-2? [01:26] oh well, I'll look into it tomorrw [01:27] good night all [01:27] RequinB4, what card do you have? [01:27] LjL: gconftool is a link (thru alternatives) to gconftool-2 [01:27] BetaTest: you're using Grub to boot, right? [01:27] Is it allowed to ask questions about dapper ? [01:28] sivik: are you downloading the drivers from the manufacturer's site? if there are different versions of the driver [ie: xp/2k + 98/me], are you trying both? :| also, which version of ubuntu are you using? 7.10 or something else? [01:28] Heres an inter4esting little quirk i just saw. using samba, on ubuntu as a fileserver. I got a 'publicfiles' share, and theres also a 'publicfiles.exe' and 'publicfiles.cmd' and 'publicfiles.pif' and 'publifciles.lnk' [01:28] akonkwa: yes [01:28] Whats up with that? anyone seen this befor? bug? feature? [01:28] sorted guys thank you! [01:28] nemilar what would be a good program to burn the Live CD with? [01:28] mohbana - idk... 6600 somethig [01:29] Dr_willis: sounds pretty messed up. [01:29] riotkittie, no, i can never get ndiswrapper to work [01:29] K3b [01:29] Oh, and I think I am [01:29] I think that's what I was told, but not too sure [01:29] BetaTest: anything...you can probably right click and burn iso [01:29] does ubuntu 64bit work with intel 64bit processors? [01:29] When I ping my workstations name "xomp" over my VPN connection to my work I get "ping: unknown host xomp". However I can ping that same workstations IP address and get replies back fine. Any suggestions? [01:29] ndiswrapper w00t [01:29] benzss: w0rd [01:29] benzss: yes, I think so [01:29] riotkittie : thanks. Does anyone know if there is a way to get an "expose" like effect on dapper (i would like to hit a button and see all the open windows)? [01:29] benzss: it's x86_64, so yeah [01:29] anyone have any ideas for the multi colored video problem? i have a lady friend coming over soon and we were gonna watch some stuff =p plss help [01:29] BetaTest: most likely, right click on the ISO and burn to disk [01:29] Ah ok, I know some isos need to be burned a special way for them to become bootable === xomp_ is now known as xomp [01:30] irv: multi colored video? [01:30] When ubuntu is booting, how do I keep it from trying to start X? [01:30] what is up with the 8800 gts and ubuntu [01:30] thanks guys [01:30] neeto: by not having gdm start up automatically [01:30] mohbana: what's the problem? [01:30] does anyone know how to manually define segments of ram to be discarded with the badmem patches? (i.e. understand the address masking that badmem uses)? [01:30] i cant get the resolution above 800x600, my monitor is not even recognized [01:31] When I boot the computer, it loads, then X loads, and it fails... but I can't get to any command line, so it's useless [01:31] mohbana: you probably need to manj00ally install the nvidia drivers. [01:31] the 8800 doesn't like linux, I donno what it is [01:31] mohbana: i can help you if you want. [01:31] neeto: switch to tty1/2/3 then login, or boot in REcovery Mode [01:31] it took me weeeeeeeeks to get an 8800 working [01:31] onyx: whenever I load any video now (regardless of player) (assuming it's a backend problem), the videos are multi-colored and just a series of squares [01:31] Are there instructions to connect and share files with a windows box on a home network? [01:31] irv: that's probably because they're wmvs, right? [01:31] Onyx where do i begin? nemilar how did you get it working === xomp_ is now known as xomp [01:31] Leila: w0rd [01:32] wmvs, avi, mpeg [01:32] scguy318: how do you boot into recovery mode? [01:32] xomp - i know little about the bug, but are you sure its the same port? === visi is now known as irul [01:32] looks like I'm dropping my connection here everytime I disconnect / connect to/from VPN.. [01:32] W0rd? what does that mean? [01:32] mohbana: honestly, someone else would probably be better able to help you out [01:32] neeto: go into GRUB menu, select Recovery Mode [01:32] mohbana: (more honestly, I really just don't want to go there again) [01:32] scguy318: got it [01:32] whats strange is that my monitor is recognized and everything on fedora but on ubuntu its not [01:32] RequinB4, I'm not sure what you're asking. [01:32] Onyx: i've had a similar problem with wmvs when i was running windows which was solved by disabling hardware acceleration... but this appears to be different and it's not restricted to wmvs [01:32] mohbana: /join #onyx-world [01:33] <_xyz> hey guys, how come ubuntu doesn't have mp3 codecs by default? [01:33] _xyz: royalty issues [01:33] <_xyz> why does windows tho? [01:33] <_xyz> does MS pay the mp3 group? [01:33] _xyz: they pay the feels [01:33] <_xyz> ohhh [01:33] fees* [01:33] <_xyz> so by installing vlc, am breaking laws? [01:33] <_xyz> am i breaking laws? [01:33] <_xyz> not that I care, of course [01:33] installing the codecs i think [01:34] _xyz: possibly in your jurisdiction [01:34] installing certain codecs, depending on your location you could be. [01:34] because they are overprotective> the playback is free. only the record isn't. Try Linux Mint. That is Ubuntu with codecs and drivers. [01:34] _xyz: in some places absolutely not, some places not defined yet [01:34] installing w32codecs is a legal gray area [01:34] if you've ever bought a copy of windows, I think you have the right to use the codecs [01:34] xomp - you said " When I ping my workstations name "xomp" over my VPN connection to my work I get "ping: unknown host xomp". However I can ping that same workstations IP address and get replies back fine. Any suggestions?" [01:34] <_xyz> Leila, thanks, i'll look into it, sounds interesting [01:34] any guides for installing eclipse on ubuntu [01:34] xomp: some local resolution service thing that needs rectifying I guess? [01:34] nemilar: that's one interpretation :) But this is all off-topic [01:35] has anyone had any problems with the using CCSM fixed window placement with twinview ? [01:35] xomp - If you ping even the same computer via a different port, then you may get a different responce [01:35] You can try the Linux Mint Live CD. [01:35] nickrud: yeah, true [01:35] my time keeps getting screw up and i dont know why [01:35] mohbana: should be a simple matter of installing Eclipse with your favorite APT frontend [01:35] like it keeps going up an hour [01:35] adub: cmos battery? [01:35] no [01:35] adub: locale issues? [01:35] RequinB4, I'm not sure what port you're speaking of. Can you change the port in which ping uses? Or are you talking about an ethernet port? [01:35] mohbana: I'd suggest getting eclipse from eclipse.org and unpacking it, it's more recent, does it's own package management for plugins [01:35] I don't seem to be able to use fixed window placement to position windows on my second monitor [01:36] xomp - i may have misunderstood your question [01:36] xomp: ping doesn't use a "port", it just sends an ICMP ping [01:36] scguy318, that's what I was thinking also, but I can ping my workstation by name & ip address in windows. Only in ubuntu do I see this problem. [01:36] Is there any package that I could try to reinstall or reconfigure so these videos will work again? [01:36] xomp: probably local resolution service on Ubuntu needs tweaking sec [01:36] syep [01:36] scguy318: xomp: but certain things /can/ block the ICMP pings [01:36] i misunderstood what you were trying to do xomp, sry [01:36] RequinB4, np :) [01:37] scguy318: xomp: just because firewalls generally block ports, doesn't mean they can't also block whatever else they like [01:37] dehspehl: that's absolutely true [01:37] scguy318, I noticed this issue when trying to RDP into my workstation in ubuntu. I tried by name like I usually do in windows only to get errors that it couldn't find the host heh. [01:38] heck, network I'm on not only blocks ping/any diagnostics, UDP, but generally leaves all ports open [01:38] xomp: try editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and sticking I think wins to the end of the hosts line? [01:38] I don't believe our WAN guys have any linux specific things blocked in the PIX firewall, they just enable the RDP port is all. [01:38] xomp: but if you specify by IP address no problem? [01:38] I'm trying to install Drupal on my laptop running Ubuntu 7.10, but I'm told the data base is not set up. I installed the drupal package from the Ubuntu repositories. Any ideas? [01:38] scguy318, yeah, connecting to the ip works a treat [01:38] xomp: so it's a resolution issue [01:39] scguy318, appears so :) [01:39] xomp: googling gave me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206 [01:39] xomp: kinda old but might help [01:39] scguy318, the funny thing is, I can ping our exchange server by name and ip and get good responses. [01:39] there is a guy with a podcast that you can find on Distrowatch that has three shows about Drupa. [01:40] Can anyone tell me why it might be a good idea to restrict setgid and NOT setuid [01:40] Next problem: iwlist scan shows my network; iwconfig shows the wireless device and network, and lspci shows my wireless card now. But it never connects to the wireless network. What could cause this? [01:40] scguy318, it appears to only be affecting my workstation. I can ping by name to any other server I admin over on our domain lol [01:40] xomp: interesting [01:40] I think it was Dave Yates. [01:40] xomp: I probably can't answer your question to your satisfaction, but googling gave me that [01:40] scguy318, thanks, I'm reading over it now :) [01:41] where can I find info about using the printer that is attached to my Windoze machine on my home network? [01:41] my ubuntu 7.10 very slow on startup [01:41] how I fix this problem [01:41] !cups | Leila [01:41] Leila: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [01:41] Can anyone tell me why it might be a good idea to restrict setgid and NOT setuid [01:41] Leila: and probably !samba too perhaps [01:41] scguy318, that looks pretty straight forward. I'll give it a try and report back :) Thanks again! [01:41] I need to run a specific refresh rate with a specific resolution using a certain driver. Is there a way that I can edit my xorg.conf to reflect these settings? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg kills my computer for some reason, so I'd rather do it manually. [01:42] I have been there. It talks about sharing a printer on the Linux machine, not on the Windoze machine. [01:42] hi everyone. i am running 6.06.1 LTS server and compiled a Xen 3.0.4 kernel. When I boot into the Xen kernel I lose my SATA tape drive (Quantum DLT-V4). Anyone know if there are any special modules I need besides st and sg that are built into the Ubuntu kernel? === visi is now known as irul [01:42] !ipx [01:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ipx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:43] im trying to network play red alert 2 and i need ipx for it. i used sudo apt-get install ipx [01:43] Just went to the third one. It looks right. Thanks. [01:43] it did its thing, but ra2 still didnt work... [01:43] Leila: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter [01:43] ipx? egads - isent that one of the old old old ways you could network games.. [01:43] yep [01:44] red alert 2 isnt new by any means lol [01:44] its not cmos or anything the time clock works fine in windows [01:44] its the only way ra2 will work [01:44] hi - I have Windows XP and Vista, except with a XP boot loader. I'm wondering if I can boot Vista using GRUB? [01:44] Nope, that is sharing the printer on the linux machine. [01:44] You may be better off using a null modem serial cable. :) [01:44] Hi everyone [01:44] heh [01:44] my time is messed up in that it just jumps up an hour [01:44] K3nto: RA2 is fun :) lemme see the ApDb [01:44] hello Teligard251 [01:44] lol Dr_willis [01:44] Dr_willis: I don't think RA2 supports null mode, that's RA1 :P [01:44] How are things today? [01:44] *modem [01:44] mk, thanks :D [01:44] that looks much better. thanks [01:44] How can I make it so that VLC opens when a DVD is inserted? [01:45] Cpudan80: system->prefs->removable media [01:45] I hate to jump in and immediately ask a question, but I'm running into a problem. [01:45] !who | Leila [01:45] Leila: 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 :) [01:45] Teligard251: that's exactly what you're supposed to do [01:45] Teligrad251 - in fact, jumping in and asking a question is encourageed [01:45] K3nto: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=252 [01:45] K3nto: some information for you [01:45] nickrud: Do you know what the command is? [01:45] thanks a bunch :) [01:46] I'm using Kubuntu as a host OS, and VirtualBox to install 7.10 server in a VM. [01:46] K3nto: you'll sadly have to run RA2 as root :( :( [01:46] to change file associations. Right click. Open Properties. Choose the app you want to use and all the file dependencies will be changed. [01:46] K3nto: no other way to have it use IPX properly [01:46] Cpudan80: I use vlc %m [01:46] k - thanks [01:46] When I boot the VM it gives me this *wonderful* error saying CPU is too old for this kernel. [01:46] I've looked up the resolution, but can't seem to get the problem fixed. [01:47] I've been fighting with the issue for 3 days now. [01:47] any ideas? [01:48] Teligard251: What CPU is being emulated by VirtualBox? [01:48] Teligard251: only idea I have is to ask on #vbox === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:48] I'm not entirely certain. The system itself is a P4 3.06 HT [01:48] neeto: I believe it doesn't emulate a CPU at all, but runs the VM code directly on the host CPU [01:49] I'm basically thinking: can I boot Vista through GRUB even tho I have no Vista boot loader to begin with? Thanks :) [01:49] scguy318: I see... [01:50] Usually only the components (ie. Video, sound, network) are emulated, as far as I know. [01:50] Hi, I can't put my hard drive to sleep using hdparm. It wakes up after 5 seconds. Is some process insisting on accessing my hdd?? Is anyone able to put their hdd to sleep? [01:50] <_xyz> hey guys, I currently have windows on 1 hdd and I'd like to install Ubuntu on another (so I could choose which one to boot). What's the safest and most reasonable way to do that? [01:50] _xyz: just install the bootloader on whichever is the master drive [01:50] !dualboot | _xyz [01:50] _xyz: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:51] _xyz: leave the windows as the first drive, install ubuntu on the second. Unless you tell it otherwise it'll set things up right :) [01:51] <_xyz> thanks [01:51] pg: perhaps trackerd? [01:51] xyz I use a Romec Trios Combos. That will switch between three hard drives and keep them all separate. On ebay. [01:51] Combox [01:52] is there a command to kill X (and keep it from restarting, I need to install the nVidia driver from a terminal)? [01:52] You could simply use GRUB on the master drive. [01:52] scguy: No, I don't have such a process and tracker is not installed. [01:52] intardnet: You need to set the init to 5 [01:52] Can anyone help me - i keep getting "Out of range" error when i boot. i have tried this - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-336495.html - to no avail. Possible problems is 1) I don't have internet connection and 2) I can't see anything when i press cntl+alt+f1/f2 [01:52] Teligard251: how do i do that? [01:52] intardnet: ctl-alt-f2, login & run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop , then do your nvidia stuff. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart the gui [01:53] Teligard251: not in ubuntu [01:53] nickrud, Teligard251: much thanks [01:53] nickrud: ok. I had to do it in Fedora and thought it was the same. Thanks :-) [01:53] scguy: Beagle is installed, though no beagle deamon running right now [01:53] intardnet: also, you can switch between gui and that fancy console with clt-alt-f2 and ctl-alt-f7 anytime [01:54] pg: I am not sure then [01:54] RequinB4: is that a grub error? [01:54] <_xyz> nickrud: if I unplugged the windows HDD and installed Ubuntu 7.10 on the other, then plugged them both in (WinXP HDD is master, Ubuntu is slave), would I be presented with a choice as to which OS to boot? [01:54] Teligard251 yeah, ubuntu doesn't use runlevels like fedora does [01:54] pg - no. it comes up just before where the login screen should [01:54] nickrud: ok :-) [01:54] or, after the usplash on the liveCD [01:54] _xyz: of course not... how would grub detect XP? [01:54] _xyz, ubuntu saw no other os. so it dident put an option in the grub menu. You can add one if you want. [01:54] how can I set VLC so that it doesn't start automaticlly when I reboot? [01:54] _xyz: that would present you with problems. Just install the second drive, and point the ubuntu installer at it [01:55] _xyz, you could also use whateber bios features you have to pick what HD to boot. [01:55] _xyz: You can tell Ubuntu, during the install process what drive to install to [01:55] <_xyz> aha [01:55] scguy318: are you able to put your hdd to sleep in Ubuntu? [01:55] _xyz: if you wanna go crazy, there's an article on how to make a hardware switch to choose between operating systems [01:55] <_xyz> nah [01:55] _xyz: Kevin Rose did that on The Screen Savers back in the day [01:55] DG how do you have the reboot set. To remember the old stuff? In Control Panel. [01:55] _xyz: why are you going to disconnect the first drive?.. doesn't make much sense [01:55] * nickrud demonstrates forked fingers to nemilar [01:56] lol [01:56] just running as the default I guess [01:56] To be paranoid :) and uber-safe. heh [01:56] Romtec Trios Combox on E-bay. 3 Hard drive switch. [01:56] <_xyz> InduGunFreak, I wanted to do it for maximum insurance against Ubuntu screwing up my XP install, but I know it's not gonna be possible that way [01:56] Dr_willis: but if you're installing on two different drives, you have to be pretty reckless to screw up your XP partition in that instance [01:56] My machine i can hit F11 at boot and pick what hd to boot. [01:56] _xyz: see above. [01:57] Dr_willis: Same here, and I like it that way [01:57] IndyGunFreak, once i dident realize my IDE drive was named 'sda' due to the libata changes.. guess what drive i miss-installed to. :P [01:57] ouch [01:57] Dr_willis: thats my point, "unless you're really reckless".. :) [01:57] double ouch [01:57] <_xyz> so if I pointed Ubuntu to install to the slave HDD, then the Linux boot loader (GRUB or something) would install itself on my Master (XP) HDD and would load up every time I boot, giving me a choice which OS to boot? [01:57] IndyGunFreak, my ide and sata disks were identical sized. so i couldent tell them apart exept by mounting them heh. [01:57] _xyz: yes [01:58] but this is when it PAYS to have BACKUPS [01:58] <_xyz> nickrud: and if I wanted to get rid of Ubuntu, how would I go about it [01:58] scguy18: Do you have any ideas how to get the general kernel installed. I can get to a command line (provided I know which partition to go to) and use apt, but the system always goes south on me. [01:58] Dr willis try the Trios [01:58] Dr_willis: exactly... you should never install another OS, w/o backing up [01:58] _xyz: boot your xp recovery disk and rewrite the mbr. There's a lot of howtos on the net [01:58] <_xyz> nickrud: thanks [01:58] quit: QUIT [01:59] whoops ;) [01:59] "Warning: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed these refresh rates" - how would i tell my gfx card to stop doing this nefarious action? [01:59] IndyGunFreak, or risk porn-lossage :) [01:59] You can rewrite the MBR with the super floppy disc. [01:59] Dr_willis: can't have that..lol [01:59] <_xyz> or from the XP installation disc, right? [01:59] quick question from an ubuntu newbie: I am running HandBrakeGTK from the terminal with the following command: "mono ./HandBrakeGTK" and want to automate this so that I don't have to type it from the terminal anymore (just click on an icon and it launches, for example). Can anyone tell me how to do this? [01:59] _xyz: yeah, same thing in my head [02:00] <_xyz> and if I rewrote the MBR, the XP installation would remain perfectly intact? [02:00] _xyz: yup.. [02:00] john47: right click the desktop, and select add launcher [02:00] <_xyz> alright thanks [02:00] I've had to run fixmbr a couple times.. [02:00] john47: right click on the desktop and create new link to application [02:00] IndyGunFreak: you have windows machines?? [02:00] * IndyGunFreak is very ashamed [02:00] ok, or that :-) [02:00] Q: I have a bootable partition cd and I want to transfer that to my usb key. I pasted the iso contents onto my usb key (fat32 partition) and marked it as "boot" in gparted. When I tried to launch, it said that this is not a bootable disk. any ideas? [02:00] nickrud: ok, I got that far, but then what gets written in the blanks? [02:01] nickrud: unfortunately, i have to.., i have a GPS device that can't be managed under Linux. [02:01] "Warning: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed these refresh rates" - how would i tell my gfx card to stop doing this nefarious action? [02:01] nickrud: but its only 20gigs..lol, 230 for Ubuntu [02:01] xenthro: don't you need to write syslinux MBR to it? === rekon is now known as pctechcentral [02:01] i probably boot it once a month.. [02:01] john47: name anything, comment anything, command is mono ./Handbreakwhatever [02:01] scguy318 I guess I do... [02:01] scguy318 let me give that a try [02:01] xenthro: there's supposed to be a script to facilitate creating a bootable USB for GPartEd [02:02] IndyGunFreak: oh, thought it was an exclusive windows machine, you know, rewriting the mbr and all [02:02] nickrud: ok, many thanks. [02:02] nickrud: oh no, none are exclusive. [02:02] scguy318 thing is this is not a gparted cd. its a paragon partition editor bootdisk [02:02] nickrud: back when i was learning distros, etc, i had to run fixmbr on more than one occasion to clear windows MBR [02:02] * nickrud feels like an Inquisitor [02:02] xenthro: oh, any instructions associated with it? you'll probably have to write some form of MBR [02:03] schuy318 it's supposed to come with its own boot manager... i see lilo files allover it [02:04] RequinB4: add rates to the /etc/X11/xorg file [02:04] ok... I need to somehow blindly change the resolution/refresh rate of my comp [02:04] xenthro: that boot manager should probably be written to your USB's MBR somehow [02:04] Hi, I'm trying to try out some themes from gnome-look, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. [02:04] nickrud - its a lil more difficult when you can't see the shell [02:04] scguy318 ill play around with it [02:04] !fixres | RequinB4 (this has instructions for setting the refresh (and try booting into recovery mode) [02:04] RequinB4 (this has instructions for setting the refresh (and try booting into recovery mode): The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[02:11] IndyGunFreak: Yeah. [02:11] ardchoille: Doh. [02:11] ardchoille: puff it worked fine for me. [02:11] Anybody know of a theme that would work well with http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?568 [02:11] puff: that theme worked fine for me. [02:11] puff: there's a tar.gz inside it, maybe that's the thing you're supposed to drag into the Theme Manager [02:11] On my newly built system, I installed Ubuntu. While shutting down I get a siren for 1 or 2 seconds then it shuts off. Could this be a software related problem. [02:11] puff: sec [02:11] puff: do you ahve the tarball? [02:11] That's my current desktop background, I like it and it's very ubuntu-ish feeling :-). [02:11] IndyGunFreak: Yeah. [02:11] Hubble.com has great desktop wallpaper. [02:12] puff: right click the desktop, properties, then click the theme tab, and then drag the tarball into that window, then click apply [02:12] puff: gion has folders that would look nice with that [02:12] IndyGunFreak: It gave me a tar.gz, when I ungzipped and untarred it, it gave me four files, one of which was another tar.gz. [02:12] puff: don't untar it, just drag the tar file into that window like i said. [02:12] bkar, thanks for helping my dad out earlier [02:12] IndyGunFreak: won't work for this one [02:12] scguy318: worked fine for me... [02:12] IndyGunFreak: the actual tar.gz is inside it [02:13] IndyGunFreak: Hm, maybe it's because I'm still on feisty, I don't have properties option in the desktop right-click menu. [02:13] IndyGunFreak: the one I got had emerald and other misc stuff + readme etc. [02:13] IndyGunFreak: so you'll have to actually extract the actual if I'm not mistaken [02:13] IndyGunFreak: The entire downloaded tar file, or the one inside the download? [02:13] great floppy for recovery http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [02:13] scguy318: hmm, well i just applied it to my system.; [02:13] scguy318: Yeah, that's what I've got. [02:13] puff: Right, as I said, it's packaged incorrectly. You have to unpack the initial tarball and then install the other tarballs inside that [02:13] puff: i downloaded the tar file, downloaded it in to the theme window, adn it was done. [02:13] someone here uses a second OS emulated(ie. win) with VMWare? im deciding if its a good option for working with graphics(photoshop). [02:13] IndyGunFreak: Yeah, but how do I download it into the theme window? [02:14] IndyGunFreak: did you gunzip it first? [02:14] puff: no [02:14] Hm. [02:14] i took the whole tarball and put it in there. [02:14] we are talking about the slick-black one, correct? [02:15] why do i get this?

[02:18] ardchoille: felixflores > felipe [02:19] Alkh you might have to use ndiswrapper. [02:19] 03:17:41 #ubuntu < ardchoille> felipe: Are you on Gutsy? [02:19] alkh3myst: it won't, it'll simply install ndiswrapper & ndiswrapper-utils [02:19] alkh3myst: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto is helpful [02:19] 2 hrs to mkfs? what in the world are you formating? [02:19] ndisgtk that is... [02:20] heh [02:20] Dr_willis errr a LOT of space [02:20] alkh3myst: which is a frontend to ndiswrapper + utils [02:20] so i need to get/download the driver first? [02:20] hey guys,.,. i have another ubuntu os on a diff HD,. evertime i go to browse this drive through nautilus it asks for my password,.,. anyway to stop this? [02:20] I dont think my 500gb drives take more then a few min to format. [02:20] alkh3myst: see the link I gave you, but you need: Windows driver, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [02:20] alkh3myst: and possibly ndisgtk if you wish to use that frontend [02:20] bod_, mount it in the fstab perhaps? it may be using the automount stuff and thats why its asking [02:20] alkh3myst: so yes you need the Windows driver [02:21] Dr willis try here http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=Romtec+Combox&category0= [02:21] heh Dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53620/ [02:21] puff: i think i just downloaded the blackplastic gtk theme you were talking about(had a tarbal inside a tarball), and i drug the "inner" tarball into my theme window, and it worked. [02:21] tad bigger than 500gigs :) [02:21] thanks so much i'll check that page...bye for now [02:21] IndyGunFreak: Okay, so when I do System/Preferences/Themes, click "Install Theme", navigate to the Desktop and click on "73210-Slickness(black).tar.gz", it displays a popup that says "The file format is invalid". [02:21] IndyGunFreak: So where do I set this? [02:21] Dr_willis, whats fstab,.,. how do i use it? [02:21] time to learn some linux basics bod_ [02:22] !fstab [02:22] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:22] bod_: /etc/fstab is a file that describes the filesystems to automatically mount [02:22] i am trying to install nvidia 169.09 drivers, but it says libc is missing what do i do? [02:22] puff: extract the tarball(so that the "inner" tarball is a file on your desktop), then try it. [02:22] Dr_willis, yer,.,. im a 1month linux user [02:22] mohbana, sudo apt-get install libc [02:22] LordOllie: libc6 you mean? [02:23] scguy318, most likely [02:23] LordOllie, could not find libc [02:23] mohbana, sorry try libc6 [02:23] Dr_willis, dude,. thats alot of reading,.,. any chance u can simplify it? [02:23] mohbana: perhaps you need to install build-essential? [02:24] mohbana: I think the NVIDIA installer attempts to compile a kernel module if I'm not mistaken [02:24] IndyGunFreak: Oddly enough, I googled and downloaded Gion from http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1340 and it worked EXACTLY the way you were describing. [02:24] bod_, u You put a proper line in fstab to mount the device.. :) thats it in a nutshell. [02:24] scguy318, yes i think it does [02:24] IndyGunFreak: The gnome-look files must be corrupted or something, dunnohow. [02:24] puff: well, this one worked fine for me.., and i done exactly what i told you [02:24] mohbana: so you need build-essential :) [02:24] learning how fstab and linux mounts things. is a very Core Linux Fundamental thingto learn. :) [02:24] Dr_willis, il have a play, and be bak soon [02:24] mohbana: and possibly do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [02:24] hi all can i ask u how can i viel last interenet connections from my computer [02:24] scguy318: could you give me that link again-i haven't used a chat room in a few centuries [02:25] I used Linux Mint which is Ubuntu with the Nvidea drivers pre-installed [02:25] scguy318, i have no choice i am running on 640x480, that is really low i cant stand it [02:25] ubuntu is not recognizing my 8800gts [02:25] Just push the bar up and it will stop scrolling. [02:25] While shutting down a siren goes off for 1 to 2 seconds. Could this be related to ubuntu??? [02:25] mohbana: so you need build-essential + linux-headers-yourkernelversion to get the installer going [02:25] alkh3myst: for which? sorry, I've forgotten your issue :) [02:25] Hello All [02:26] alkh3myst: oh yeah ndiswrapper k [02:26] alkh3myst: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [02:26] I have GOT to thank everyone for their help in getting the Nvidia card working for me [02:26] that ndisgtk thing... [02:26] hey, i have a question. Im trying to copy a song to my Ipod on Ubuntu, but it says "I don't have permission" [02:26] Dr_willis, i do not have a fstab dir [02:26] any ideas? [02:26] bod_, thats becuase its a FILE in /etc [02:26] alkh3myst: this link doesn't use ndisgtk (and I don't like it personally, just me) but it gets the job done [02:26] ubuntuo, use sudoo [02:26] sudo [02:26] i tunes is proprietary software...sorry [02:26] bod_ why cant i just drap and drop the file? [02:26] Dr_willis, yer,. i ment its not there [02:27] im not sure how to copy a file using sudo [02:27] ubuntuo: sudo cp source dest? [02:27] techgeek40, i am about to install it aswell === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as cE_pLaygirL [02:27] techgeek40, which version did you install [02:27] bod_, i would say look again. cat /etc/fstab [02:27] mohbana: Which one? [02:27] Kim Leoni - Medicine.mp3 in /home/ubuntu/shared [02:27] techgeek40, 169.09 [02:27] I downloaded the driver from the nvidia website and installed manually [02:27] IndyGunFreak: I think you must have broken it somehow when you downloaded it :-0 [02:27] i mean you put a link up [02:27] how can i view last interenet connections from my computer [02:27] ubuntuo, go into terminal and cd to ur ipod ,. then type sudo chmod 77 ./(name of ipod) [02:27] ubuntuo: why do you need to copy it as root? [02:27] and i have a Ipod monted on D Drive [02:27] you have to reconfigure you xorg.conf file though [02:27] puff, hang on. [02:27] ubuntulog: sudo cp /path/target_file /path/destination [02:28] you know what i hate about Xorg [02:28] i dont know why. I was just trying to add a song to my ipod, and it said i dont have permission [02:28] IndyGunFreak: Thank you - your suggestions helped a great deal [02:28] puff: like i said, it worked fine... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/black.jpg [02:28] techgeek40, which guide did you use [02:28] I usually just "drag and drop it" [02:28] techgeek40: no prob, glad you got it working === icaro_ is now known as ^BiplanO^ [02:28] Dr_willis, :cat: etc/fstab: No such file or directory [02:28] To change permission chmod 777 [02:28] bod_, i would say look again. cat /etc/fstab NOTE the first / ? [02:28] !permission | ubuntuo [02:28] ubuntuo: 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 [02:28] mohbana: there is a readme file on their site once you select the driver - just pick your card type and linux and you'll get the driver you need [02:29] puff: just so you don't think i'm pulling your leg, it worked fine [02:29] The main problem is knowing which partition to rescue to. [02:29] Any ideas [02:29] bod_, if you had no /etc/fstab - your system wouldent boot up all the way. [02:29] bod_ how do you normally add songs to your ipod if you are on Ubuntu? [02:29] Dr_willis, ok found stuff,. how come i cant find it in a file browser? [02:29] !mohbana make sure you read the readme first [02:29] IndyGunFreak: I didn't think you were pulling my leg, it's just odd, that's all. [02:29] \join [02:29] bod_, No idea. thers a dozen file browsers out there. :) This is why i use the shell for my example [02:29] puff: did you extract the tarball, so you avhe the "inner" tarball, and drag that one into the window? [02:29] ubuntuo, the same way ur trying,. but u dont have the neccesary permissions,. by doing what i said earlier it will give u permission to write to the ipod [02:29] IndyGunFreak: Might be my version of gnome is too old or something. I really need to upgrade to guty sometime. [02:30] puff: no, that shouldn't be it. [02:30] bod_: are you using Nautilus? shows up fine in mine [02:30] bod_ but i dont want to manually copy files to my ipod everytime [02:30] i have 60 songs to add :( [02:30] IndyGunFreak: Yeah, I tried it on the extracted inner tar ball, too. [02:30] dosent that one older release hide a lot of things [02:30] scguy318, wot exactly to u press on? [02:30] ubuntuo, you could set up the ipod to get mounted as the user. Most likely its getting mounted and owned by root. [02:30] ubuntuo, u only have to do this once,.,. then it will always work [02:30] ubuntulog: Are all the songs in mp3 and in the same location? [02:30] puff: very strange, cuz i got the error you described, when i drug the file to my theme window, but when i drug the "inner" tarball, it worked perfectly [02:30] ubuntuo: Places -> Computer -> File System -> etc -> fstab [02:31] Can yu use GTKPod [02:31] ubuntuo: oh sorry wrong person [02:31] ubuntuo, whats the directory of your ipod? [02:31] to transfer songs. [02:31] bod_: Places -> Computer -> File System -> etc -> fstab [02:31] ubuntuo: Are all the songs in mp3 and in the same location? [02:31] scguy318, kk hang on [02:31] ok ... was making headway with getting webcam installed ... and now losing ground. :-( Any help with a webcam? [02:31] bod_: it definitely shows up there [02:31] VirtualBox's site states that it is an issue with PAE support in the Ubuntu kernel. [02:31] amarok is really good for ipod managing, but you'll have to install KDE libs, but it kills all other ipod managers [02:31] Leila, probably but rhythmbox can transfer songs to ipod too [02:32] yes ardchille [02:32] scguy318, its a screen shot of my files [02:32] bod_ i cant find the directory to my ipod, it comes up as USB and says "My Ipod" [02:32] i think it might be D or E Drive [02:32] ubuntuo, right click on it,. and click properties [02:33] gtkpod, amarok, rythmbox, banshee, they all manage an ipod well. [02:33] it says: computer:/// [02:33] bod_: bleh I'm behind a router, DCC doesn't work for me at all [02:33] ubuntuo, linux doesnt use letters for drives [02:33] okay [02:33] lol [02:33] scguy318, me neither,.,.lol [02:33] well it says "computer:///" [02:33] bod_: but point is, /etc/fstab should be viewable in Nautilus :) [02:33] bod_ Under Permission it says "Read-Only" for Owner-Group and Others [02:33] should i chaneg those settings? [02:33] ubuntuo: not trying to be a smartass, but Amarok does a pretty good job of autodetecting Ipods, [02:33] scguy318, nope,.,. where online can i put this picture,. so i can show u? [02:34] bod_: imageshack will do [02:34] scguy318, url? [02:34] Camora use to see my webcam, and it worked with it ... but it didn't work in Skype, ... so I installed more "stuff" to try getting it working in Skype, and now it doesn't show up anywhere. [02:34] ubuntuo: as long as the icon for the ipod is on your desktop, amarok will find it adn set it up [02:34] IndyGunFreak thanks, i think i used amarok to get my ipod working last time [02:34] bod_: http://imageshack.us/ [02:34] bod_: http://imageshack.us/ [02:34] While shutting down a siren goes off for 1 to 2 seconds. Could this be related to ubuntu??? [02:34] but this time i tried Totem [02:34] ubuntuo: its opinion obviously, but i consider amarok the best ipod tool [02:34] If on a moniter it says to have Resolution aaaaxaaa and 60Hz, does the 60hz mean the horizontalsync or the vertical referesh [02:34] ubuntuo, yer,. go right click on a song in ur ipod and properties, should show u the directory [02:34] RequinB4: vertical refresh [02:35] bod_: yer [02:35] ok [02:35] That might be why i was getting an error, xorg wanted to put it at 160 [02:35] <^BiplanO^> anyone has problems with nautilus crashes on Hardy? [02:35] !hardy [02:35] 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 [02:35] ^BiplanO^: ask in #ubuntu+1 [02:35] MrObvious, wot? [02:35] bod_: You said yer [02:35] bod_ no problem, hope it got resolved.. [02:35] MrObvious, sorry [02:36] ok i found it [02:36] "/media/My Ipod/iPod_Control/Music/F02" [02:36] bod_: J/k. lol [02:36] bkar, yep there internet is blocked,.,.lol [02:36] is there a ubuntu embedded channel? [02:36] <^BiplanO^> thanks scguy318 [02:36] scguy318, : http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotfv6.png [02:36] bod_-> whose? your sexy neighbor? [02:36] IndyGunFreak: Odd, I downloaded them again and they worked fine now, must have been something really odd. [02:36] bkar, wot? ,.,. it was step sister [02:37] puff: yeah, or you accidentally deleted something, or something. [02:37] bod_-> haha, no in-breed allowed..lol [02:37] IndyGunFreak: given that they ungzipped and untarred properly, file corruption is unlikely. [02:37] bod_: look down, fstab is a file :) [02:37] I am trying to install trac with apt-get. Does anyone know what the deb source is for it? [02:37] bkar, wot r u talking about? [02:37] puff: true... but it will have to be a mystery wrapped in a riddle [02:37] IndyGunFreak: I'm pretty sure I didn't, but in any event, thanks for the help. [02:37] bod_-> nm..was just kiddin [02:38] scguy318, oopsy,.,. i thought it was a folder,.,. my bad [02:38] Is there any File System that I can read and write to on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. [02:38] bkar, where did this sexy neighbour thing come from??? lol [02:38] darwin81: FAT32 immediately comes to mind [02:38] That's odd, it says "installing theme" but it doesn't actually put it in the list of themes in the theme manager. [02:38] darwin81: NTFS mebbe, not sure of its status on Mac OS X [02:39] darwin81: ext2/3 on Windows needs a third-party file system driver [02:39] is there a ubuntu embedded channel? [02:39] bod_-> oh just a comment im relating to you, im another chat channel just to be silly..we were talking about neighbors..hehe [02:39] does the login screen use X [02:39] salty: try the !channels command [02:39] RequinB4: yes [02:39] bkar, ok then gorgeos [02:39] !cursor [02:39] that's a releif, thx [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about cursor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:39] bkar, gorgeous [02:39] ok thnx danbhfive [02:39] got it [02:39] !channels [02:39] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [02:40] oops, thats int he theme, didn't know that [02:40] bkar, windows has a tool for defragmenting ur HD,.,. has ubuntu got a similar tool? [02:40] !defrag [02:40] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [02:40] bod_: not really, defragmentation on Linux is not really necessary [02:40] bod_: No ned to defrag in Linux, the fs takes care of housekeeping for you :) [02:40] bod_ what for? dont need it in linux [02:40] bod_: I think the answer is the next kernel, which will be in hardy [02:41] hey bod_ [02:41] when i put the file i wanted to copy to my Ipod on my desktop and just "drag/drop" it copys fine [02:41] but when im in my Shared folder and try to "drag/drop" it doesnt allow me [02:41] why is that? [02:42] anyone know how to install trac on ubuntu? [02:42] is it somehow possible to make my video card use my ram more? [02:42] scguy318, ardchoille, bkar, danbhfive, i just wanted to see wot it looks like,.,. wow,.,. u no the graphical pics of how fraged ur drive is,,.,. i wanted to see how much better ubuntu was,.,. no need to shout,.,.lol [02:42] er [02:42] ubuntuo, check the permissions [02:42] bod_: we're not [02:42] use mr ram along with its mem [02:42] ubuntuo, dunno,.,. prob still file permissions === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as cE_mNieeezZz_sMa [02:42] scguy318, i no,.,. it was the loadsa people going no! it was just funny [02:42] salty what do you mean [02:43] ubuntuo, the file permissions [02:43] While shutting down a siren goes off for 1 to 2 seconds. Could this be related to ubuntu??? [02:43] under permissions it says "owner: root" bod_ [02:43] blackice: beep? [02:43] ubuntuo, that means u need a password to do anything [02:43] right click on the file in question and see if you are the owner and if it is executable [02:43] how can i remove it from root [02:43] and add to user? [02:43] salty, owner is root [02:43] Ok, this might sound kinda beginner but how do you navigate to a new dir in Terminal? [02:43] scguy318, yes i believe two tones [02:44] Reggi1: cd /path/to/folder [02:44] Reggi1, cd ./home/bod [02:44] k, im installing a server on my Ubuntu [02:44] sorry to bother, but can anybody help with trying to remove amavis-ng with aptitude. I have amavis and cant remove amavis-ng. [02:44] I'm trying to get compiz running without xgl , (no luck so far) any one have this working ? [02:44] scguy318, everything boots up fine, cpu temps are around 35 - 40 C [02:44] ubuntuo, sudo chmod x+u+a [02:44] blackice: it's Ubuntu, normal [02:44] ok let me try that [02:44] "sudo chown -Rv ubuntuo /the/file/in/question" [02:44] yahcason: why can't you remeve it? [02:44] blackice: happens for me when I have a local terminal logged in [02:44] ubuntuo, oh ,.,. sudo chmod x+u+a /path/to/file [02:45] dont know, it has a 'c' flag in aptitude [02:45] yeah it just gave me an error [02:45] let me try the new command [02:45] scguy318, i don't do anything special, is it some sort of warning [02:45] !pastebin | ubuntuo [02:45] ubuntuo: 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) [02:45] it doesnt say that it is installed but I dont want to conflict with amavisd [02:45] bod_ i did that, but i get a empty page with ">" [02:45] what does that mean?

[02:46] none at all [02:46] ubuntuo, thats a good thing [02:46] ubuntuo, type this using your user name instead of ubuntuo "sudo chown -Rv ubuntuo /the/file/in/question" [02:46] scguy318, if it doesn't mean anything is wrong, can i disable it??? [02:46] ubuntuo, check the file permissions again [02:47] in linux, when you type a command and there is no response, its usually a good sign, [02:47] yep,.,.lol [02:47] Ok, i need to navigate to a folder in home/(my name) but it says that there is no such file or directory. The file is called server-3.0p0 [02:47] ok [02:47] that's why i use the '-v' option... so i can see what happened [02:47] yes permission is still "owner root" [02:47] this is why rm -rf * is not recommended, it will not give a response [02:47] I'm at a loss trying to fix my xorg.conf.

I've purchased software (digitalriver) and it's all on the Vista formatted drives. [03:00] ubuntuo, unplu/replug [03:00] How much swap space should one use? If I have 1 gig RAM should I have 2 gigs of swap? And if I'm thinking of upgrading to 4 gigs of RAM should I have 8 gigs of swap? [03:00] pl [03:00] sillyputty, 2 gig [03:00] sillyputty, after upgrade,.,. i think its recommended to use twice the ram so yes 8gig [03:00] Tucci-> what have you done lately? is it your access point you're connecting to? [03:01] ok i just plugged it back in. When i right click Properties it says owner-root still [03:01] hmmm [03:01] bod_: seems like an awful lot of swap space [03:01] sillyputty: yes it is, you need no more than = your ram [03:01] bod_: on the other hand i do intend to use vmware a lot [03:01] ubuntuo, you cant change permissions and ownership on an Ipod, it's formatted as FAT and FAT has no understanding of such [03:01] sillyputty, lol,.,. yer,.,. stick with a lower one then,. its really only personal preference [03:01] ubuntuo, you'll just need to mount the ipod correctly [03:01] can somebody help m? ... my sound is not working, i have tryed to install gstreamer so many times, still nothing [03:01] stillc ant drag/drop files [03:01] sillyputty: and usually far less unless you want to hibernate [03:01] un_op [03:02] the way i solved it ubuntuo was i unplugged and rebooted...then plugged back in after i logged in [03:02] no its not FAT [03:02] ubuntuo, tlk to un_op === tylers_not_here is now known as tyler [03:02] ubuntuo: do ipods even support drag/drop?.. i didn't think they did.

[03:02] any ideas? [03:02] ubuntuo, and you cannot really drag and drop files into the ipod_control folder, you need something like itunes or gtkpod to do that for you [03:03] jerrcs, try the alternte install [03:03] what is gtkpod? [03:03] mmmm, okay... thanks [03:03] never heard of it before [03:03] ubuntuo: i guess i'm confused why you just don't use Amarok, as you've had success w/ it before. [03:03] !gtkpod [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gtkpod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:03] un_op, i tunes is the worst program ever,. it duplicates all media [03:03] !info gtkpod [03:03] !ipod [03:03] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [03:03] gtkpod (source: gtkpod): manage songs and playlists on an Apple iPod.

[03:05] I want to convert a bunch of mp3 audio files from stereo to mono. How would I do that? [03:05] Tucci-> just make sure you are typing the correct keys..i dont like encryption on wifi anyways.. [03:05] ubuntuo, yw [03:05] ubuntuo: i think that was suggested like 15min ago by soemone..lol, but glad you got it working [03:06] haha thanks too IndyGunFreak :) [03:06] bkar: maybe I'm dull but can you tell me where to enter the password - do I go to system-network and then click on the interface I want? That doesn't give any impression on whether it is connected or if the password is accepted [03:06] ader10: that's the strangest question I've ever heard === Ttech2 is now known as Ttech [03:06] ader10: but audacity would probably do it [03:06] is there anyway to start Ubuntu in some sort of "verbose" mode to see why my pcmcia card won't let it load?

[03:07] nemilar: Audacity can't do it in one batch conversion, can it? [03:07] hmm un_op what does this mean [03:07] Jupp2: Yes, remove the 'quiet' parameter from grub [03:07] ader10: no idea, to be honest [03:07] when i try to open gtkpod i get this message "Could not open "iTunesDB.ext" for reading extended info. [03:07] Extended info will not be used" [03:07] Jupp2: Actually, remove quiet and 'splash' [03:07] tonyyarusso, thanks! [03:07] ader10: just wondering, why would you want to do that, anyway? [03:07] Hi all. I'm trying to learn the mount command in order to access my external (usb) drive...How do I check the formatting? What (if it exists) is the cmd? [03:07] what is the next step down equivilent of 1440x900 [03:07] ubuntuo, errm, i think you'll need a newer version of libgpod -- hold on [03:07] Tucci-> you are not dull, you have to select the type of encryption your AP uses, wep,wpa,wpa2 or leal..and match those to the selection on your network manager. also some drivers do not support wpa or wpa2 [03:08] Gidean: 'man mount' will show you the manual for mount [03:08] okay [03:08] i dont think i have libgpod installed... [03:08] let me check [03:08] nemilar: real life situation: You're listening to your iPod. Your friend wants to listen too. You get 2 options: bass or treble. You want both, but too bad. [03:08] or a cell phone [03:08] etc [03:08] ahh, I see, I see [03:08] Thanks. I know the command but I don't know what the format of the drive is... [03:08] :D [03:08] good example [03:08] RequinB4-> thats futile, get a real monitor for puter not a TV converted to a monitor [03:08] that weas probably the easiest explanation of a reason I've given here [03:08] ader10: you could get a headphone splitter ;) [03:09] un_op libgpod2 is installed [03:09] I suppose I coul [03:09] s/coul/could/ [03:09] bkar -.- it worked earlier [03:09] ader10: let me see if I can figure something out [03:09] bkar: I deleted the default panel with ubuntu awhile ago, and I don't think I have a "network manager" like I did, I have a network monitor, but that isn't helping. Its not listed as something I can add to the panel, so is there another place to find it?

[03:10] oh i see thanks [03:10] ok let me add that [03:11] "sudo gkedit sources.list" un_op? [03:11] ubuntuo, once you add that line in, you'll need to update apt/synaptic, remove gtkpod, libgpod2 and install gtkpod again [03:11] i.e. is it NTFS or ext3 [03:11] ubuntuo, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:11] anyone familiar with module-assistant here? seems that the modules that it builds have debugging info in them. any way to disable this?

[03:37] mirc.irc.cl [03:37] nickrud, i no [03:37] pkill does lookups, you can kill based on name, user, or other attributes [03:37] !offtopic [03:37] kill only does PIDs [03:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:37] so pkill or just kill? [03:37] thanks ive got it working now ... by pure luck [03:37] and killall only does process names [03:37] Jakoo, pkill === talaren is now known as pteague [03:37] ok [03:37] with the 64bit ubuntu will i have issues with wine or can i just install as normal in add/remove programs? [03:37] nemilar, i use killall,.,. thanks for clearing up what they do [03:37] it means process kill i suppose :) [03:37] mohbana: now you just have to worry about envy wrecking something [03:37] Kuroachia: try killall nautilus in a terminal, if that doesn't work try gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop make sure it's enabled [03:38] un0p: mount: mount point /media/ipod does not exist [03:38] thats the error i get [03:38] IndyGunFreak, why do you say that? [03:38] im trying to install hotspotter-0.4 and i already extracted it, changed directory to where the folder was located and tried to run ./configure and it returned and error [03:38] i think the mount is /media/My Ipod [03:38] bod_: yeah I typically use killall, unless there's more than one instance of a process running, and I only want to kill one (for example, "killall bash" would be a bad idea) [03:38] mohbana: Envy has hosed more than one system, thats why it isn't supported [03:38] ubuntuo, make the mountpoint then.. DONT use spaces in the name. :) [03:38] ubuntuo, its /media/"My Ipod" [03:38] mohbana: kinda like automjatix. [03:38] Jakoo: kill requires you look up the process number, then kill . pkill is a one step process, the only real difference [03:38] stephan: the trick with 64 bit is to install ia32libs. Once you install that everything should be relatively easy [03:38] ubuntuo, sorry - sudo sh -c "umount /dev/sda3; mkdir /media/ipod; mount -t hfs /dev/sda3 /media/ipod -o rw" [03:38] nemilar, lol,. yer dont do that,.,.lol [03:39] * Dr_willis wants to slap whoever at MS decided to use 'My Whatever' for names [03:39] ader10: thank you, im gonna give the 64bit a shot [03:39] stephan: there are howtos for installing 64 bit applications if you can't figure it out yourself [03:39] oh ok ;) [03:39] it returns "./configure: No suck file or directory" [03:39] nickrud: but pkill will send the signal to all patching processes, which might not be good [03:39] ive been running 640 for running 3hrs i am suddenly on 1680 this seems so weird [03:39] nickrud: matching* [03:39] to get the process number is ps -e? [03:39] un0p, i think he's saying its /media/My Ipod not /media/ipod [03:39] stephan: install it on a different partition than your 32 bit so you have something to fall back to if it doesn't work the way you like it [03:40] bod_, i'm intentionally using /media/ipod [03:40] bod_, i hate dealing with spaces [03:40] nemilar: a pertinent point [03:40] un0p [03:40] spaces are the character of the devil! [03:40] i give up [03:40] nothing is working... [03:40] sigh* [03:40] ubuntuo, what happened? [03:40] un0p, ok, but if he uses ur command, it wont work,.,. spaces r fine,. just use quotes ,.,. eg ,.,. /media/"My Ipod" [03:40] same as before [03:40] just a blank screen with ">" [03:40] bod_: better would be /media/My\ Ipod [03:40] bod_: you mean "/media/My Ipod" [03:41] or "/media/My Ipod" [03:41] hi guys are there any tutorials for installing eclipse, azureus, java. something official would be good i dont mind community docs aswell [03:41] mohbana: those are all in repos [03:41] mohbana: all can be installed via the synaptic meny [03:41] ubuntuo, make sure you copied that command down right [03:41] The latest ubuntu kernel release (2.6.22-14.47) causes nfs4 to fail (kernel exception/lock up) [03:41] HELLO EVERYBODY!!!! [03:41] nickrud, i thought /media/"My Ipod" worked,.,. nemilar, why is the backslash way better? [03:41] how do i find if the issue has already been reported? [03:41] wookie, HELLO!!!!!! [03:41] i ddi [03:41] mohbana: download eclipse, extract it to /opt , then sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse [03:41] is the "quiet" flag necessary to install ubuntu? not sure of its main function [03:41] lol wookie [03:41] did [03:41] bod_, why wont it work? the ipod can be mounted anywhere [03:41] Hello wookie, please no caps, some people consider it shouting :P [03:42] just a question is it possible to get a full list of commands somewhere? [03:42] brook u here? [03:42] bod_: it's not better, I just like to say it is, because quotes are also the character of the devil. [03:42] o_o [03:42] CalvinH: search in launchpad [03:42] cheers [03:42] nemilar, lol,.,. ok [03:42] i was kinda shouting though [03:42] bod_: but /media/"My Ipod" is wrong; it's "/media/My Ipod" [03:42] * cheddarcheese feels out of place [03:42] when em28xxx startup it is unable to load em28xxx_audio properly anyone know how to fix this ? "em28xx_audio: disagrees about version of symbol snd_pcm_new" [03:42] but in a good way [03:42] un0p, because the name of the ipod isnt ipod its My Ipod [03:42] nemilar, they both should work [03:42] nemilar, ok cheers,.,. wasnt to sure [03:42] Jakoo, you have all the commands in your 'path' and proberly dozens of others tha are not in the default path. I suggest reading some basic bash tutorials/guides for starters [03:42] i am trying to learn the commands and everytime i have to ask for one [03:42] Hello folks! Hot to download books from Google Books? Some tuto? [03:43] Jakoo, open up a terminaland hit tab a few times. It will complete all the names. [03:43] bod_, ok, and? the label of the filesystem has little bearing on how one mounts it or where he mounts it [03:43] *Any tuto? [03:43] !bash Jakoo [03:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about bash jakoo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:43] julio: you can't download books from google books [03:43] !bash | Jakoo [03:43] Jakoo: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:43] un0p, ok,. i thought u were trying to mount something called ipod [03:43] julio: you can search them..if you want to download books, use Project Gutenberg [03:43] julio - google books only has a few pages.... [03:43] Jakoo: that's no problem, you'll reach critical mass soon [03:43] ok thank you very much ;) [03:43] bod_, i was mounting an ipod at /media/ipod [03:44] un0p, oh,ok,,.,.my bad,.,.sorry [03:44] RequinB4: google books has the whole thing, they just don't let you see it all. You can get around it by searching for words and reading a page at a time, but that's....annoying? It's really useful when you're writing a report, though, or something like that. [03:44] Is there a ubuntu support chan? [03:44] an** [03:44] bod_, it doesnt matter anyway, he's gone - left in an exasperated state :( [03:44] nemilar, Tankyou man! I find this book: http://books.google.com/books?id=M66WOfYoULYC&pg=PA214&lpg=PA214&dq=putting+a+trash+icon+on+gnome+desktop&source=web&ots=aThWrLWA0k&sig=O3O6gmukDuumbw2Inptl_T11FFc#PPP1,M1 [03:44] this is it [03:44] Jakoo, if u no the name of a command and want to no more about it use man ,.,. eg man killall [03:44] Ah, ok. [03:44] nemilar - did not know that [03:44] Problem is probably simple. [03:44] un0p, lol,. he's been trying to change permissions on that thing for about an hour [03:45] oki [03:45] anyone using emc on ubuntu? [03:45] wookieeee [03:45] go [03:45] go [03:45] u go first [03:45] no [03:45] frick, looks like no one has listed any nfs bugs for the kernel [03:45] Sometimes if I leave a program running for a while, like firefox or pidgin, and I come back to it, I won't be able to type in the window. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? [03:45] you go [03:45] Jakoo, go into a terminal and press the tab button twice (without typing anything) [03:45] bod_, well, its because he's got a macpod formatted as hfs, and by default hfs volumes are mounted read-only -- i was trying to get him to mount it read-write but ... [03:45] could someone help me write a decent bug report? [03:45] So my window decorator shows absulutely huge (possibly max size) text. So does GDM. Turning off the compiz additions fixes it. [03:45] JUST GO [03:45] no, you [03:45] DANGIT [03:45] RequinB4: offtopic, but it's a life-saver for college papers; skip the library, just use google books to get a quote and add it to your bibliography [03:45] heeee [03:45] GOOOOOOOO [03:46] (I've verified the bug in a VM) [03:46] And I'm fine with turning it off, it's on a laptop. [03:46] OKKKK [03:46] wookie: please don't [03:46] ok [03:46] ok [03:46] un0p, ive never heard of a hfs type,.,. maybe cause im not an appler,.,.lol [03:46] But GDM is still borked. [03:46] How do I remove PAE support from the Ubuntu 7.10 source code )or does someone have an edited version of the source code)? [03:46] nemilar - on-topic - firefox has a great download manager [03:46] HEH [03:46] =/ [03:46] HEY HAMMY [03:46] that takes any link or file you can find on the internet [03:46] So how do I fix my huge fonts in GDM? [03:46] omg [03:46] Gotta love those download managers. [03:46] hi wookie [03:46] im trying to install ubuntu with emc using the EMC2 Live CD (www.linuxcnc.org), and it always gets to 82% then freezes, anyone know how to fix this? [03:47] I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO JOIN US WITH THIS [03:47] nah im chicken [03:47] lol 2022 possibilities [03:47] wookie, no need to shout,. we can hear u [03:47] *wookie's gonna get kicked* [03:47] that sounds like an awesome chant [03:47] lol [03:47] no one can helpme write a linux kernel bug report? [03:47] ill get a tablet before read them all [03:47] ok now my sound has died [03:47] On a Ubuntu system partitioned with LVM2: if a PV contains an entire LV, is it possible to remove that PV from one VG and then insert it into a VG on another computer and see the LV that it contains? [03:47] CalvinH: have you searched the already-posted bugs? [03:48] no matches for "nfs" [03:48] How are there no matches for nfs? [03:48] erm... [03:48] its only a bug for the latest release [03:48] Jakoo, lol,.,. so cool [03:48] bkar u still there? I got a step closer, as Network Manager can now see the correct network, but I can't seem to connect even though I'm putting in the right password. any clues? [03:48] although quite a major one [03:48] * HAMmy points to the door and asks her peeps to join her [03:48] CalvinH: what's the problem? [03:48] follow me guyz === ader10 is now known as ader10-ZzZzz [03:48] latest kernel causes an "Kernel Oops" with nfs4 [03:48] worked before the upgrade [03:48] darn kernels [03:49] I installed a new system on a virtual machine, got it working with nfs4 [03:49] then upgraded to the latest ubuntu kernel release [03:49] "boom" [03:49] will hardy be available as a 64bit release? [03:49] bod_: I would imagine so === LiENUX is now known as LiENUS [03:49] CalvinH: This is a known problem with the latest kernel. You'd have to force the version back to the previous verison. [03:50] can anyone help with my wireless? We've put a password on the home network, and now I can't seem to connect even though I'm putting the password in correctly. Anyone have any idea why that might happen? [03:50] can someone help please some sound no longer works [03:50] nemilar, will that be out from the beginning or will we have to wait longer for a 64? [03:50] bthornton: known problem? Do you have a link? [03:50] bod_: not sure, but I think they normally release at the same time [03:50] nemilar, cool,.,.cheers [03:50] Tucci, dunno,.,. encryption messed me around aswell [03:51] CalvinH: I did at one point (it is a submitted bug), but I don't at the moment. You can Google part of the kernel panic output and probably pull it up. [03:51] mohbana, try rebooting [03:51] how does one change the mac address for say, eth0? [03:51] I'll give it a try. Never tryed to regress a kernel, is it hard? [03:51] does anyone no anything about DMA timeout errors? [03:51] Would some one mind packaging a file for me? [03:51] neeto, adjust that interface's entry in /etc/iftab or use ethtool [03:51] How about fixing extremely large text in GDM? Anyone? [03:51] un0p: thanks [03:52] hi all. im having a sound problem and i dont know the name of my sound card(s). can somebody tell me how to figure out what sound card i have? [03:52] jeremysan: open a terminal, lspci [03:52] jeremysan, terminal type lspci [03:52] bod: yeah, I thought so - can you tell me what is supposed to happen if I put in the wrong password? Cuz right now it just accepts it and then doesn't do anything [03:53] CalvinH: If you're running Gutsy, you want to force kernel version 2.6.22-14.46 . The latest version (2.6.22-14.47) is the one with that problem. [03:53] Tucci, dunno m8,.,. i ditched encryption, [03:53] bthornton: cheers [03:53] im trying to install ubuntu with emc using the EMC2 Live CD (www.linuxcnc.org), and it always gets to 82% then freezes, anyone know how to fix this?

I've tried the following music players, but I haven't felt like I've found the best one for me yet. RythmBox (of course), but the simplicity of it annoys me. I need access to more settings. Amarok (my current favorite), but as I use gnome and a media player every day I want something that doesn't rely on loading the kde libraries just to play music, Exhaile (what I currently use). I've heard of listen, xmms, but I wonder if any [04:03] that is gone [04:03] i have looked online im having slight problem getting the scanning feature to work [04:03] When I try to install a program it says, "Please install the "i386" version of this program instead." but isn't i386 for Windows? [04:03] KingD: hang on a sec. [04:03] ArthurArchnix: Amarok for Gnome would be quite killer. [04:03] danbhfive, usually they represent one of the control codes -- ascii codes 0 - 32 .. http://www.unix-manuals.com/refs/misc/ascii-table.html [04:03] BetaTest: i386 isn't windows specific no. [04:03] I think I might have it [04:04] bod_, you can use alsaconf to help you [04:04] BetaTest, i386 is a saying the kind of cpu [04:04] Dr_willis: I have removed the other drive, and returned the other drive back to it's original position. [04:05] Ah, thank you Dr_willis [04:05] jeremysan, ok,.,. right click on the picture of a speaker in the top right hand side of ur screen,.,. select open sound cntrol,.,. then a screen comes up,.,. click file--> change device and select the intergrated one [04:05] un0p: cool, thanks, I may be able to use that [04:05] I am figuring it out [04:05] KingD: try this, right cilck your desktop, choose create launcher, Type: Application in Terminal, then Name(whatever), command: gnome-panel [04:05] un0p, whats the command for it?

[04:08] hi [04:08] dthacker, should [04:08] Indy: I believe it's the realtek HD audio [04:08] ArthurArchnix: Yeah, I don't believe my music player should eat up my CPU.

[04:09] bod_ yes, as you suggested, (and I have already tried this in before) when I physically uninstall my PCI sound card, and then turn on my computer in Ubuntu, sound works, which means that my other sound card (integrated) does work. [04:09] techgeek40: well, open a terminal and see what the output of lspci is(it should identify your sound card there), and tell me how it identifies it. === arooni is now known as arooni-away [04:09] bod_ jeremysan I had a similar problem, ALSA got confused when I had two soundcards installed [04:09] Dr_Wiliis: 1st - i cant log on X, 2nd -lost my sound, 3rd - you dont want to know [04:10] nemilar, did u get a fix? [04:10] nemilar how did you solve your problem [04:10] jeremysan: just a hunch, but unless you want both to work, try disabling the internal sound in bios settings [04:10] b4taylor: Have any experience with audacious?

It's light and all. But not very good with library stuff. [04:11] oops wrong person* [04:11] un0p, alsactl ??? it needs a parameter?

[04:11] nemilar i want to disable my PCI card. how do i do that [04:11] jeremysan: why not just take it out? [04:11] nemilar, how would i disable a pci card, but leave the intergrated one working? [04:11] remove it :) [04:11] nemilar, no can dio,.,. needs to be there for windows to use [04:11] nemilar because this computer has a dual boot and i need that sound card for windows.

[04:39] mactimes: I can stick any livecd in a machine and do what I want, the only thing you can do is possibly use encryption to protect sensitive data [04:39] danbhfive: so stay with 6.06 ?

[04:58] Hello everyone! [04:58] jeremysan, type this in a terminal : asoundconf set-default-card Realtek ALC 880 [04:58] jeremysan, asoundconf list -- should list the cards, asoundconf set-default-card should set the default [04:59] danbhfive : how do i find that? [04:59] bod_, jeremysan might need to quote "Realtek ALC 880" [04:59] is there a way to force ubuntu to throttle the cpu in my laptop? [04:59] rnisly, you also need nvidia-kernel-common [04:59] jeremysan, actually type this :asoundconf set-default-card "Realtek ALC 880" [04:59] un0p, good point ,.,. cheers [05:00] Hi, I'm trying to stream a divx file from stage6 though mplayer without firefox just using mplayer>open>play url.., divx files from the hdd work fine with mplayer. but when i try to steam it just freezes and i have to kill it. how do i fix this? [05:00] spdf : nvidia-kernel-common is already the newest version [05:01] bod_ , un0p , alright I entered " asoundconf set-default-card "Realtek ALC 880" " and then apparently nothing happened. should i try to reboot? [05:01] jeremysan, you should try playing something [05:01] jeremysan, if there is no output it means it has worked [05:01] rnisly, try sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [05:01] rnisly: try turning compiz off [05:01] rnisly: but listen to spdf more [05:02] lol [05:02] hello.... can anyone help explain to me why dgen has a segfault upon launch on my ps3 but works fine on my i386 laptop?.... and can someone also tell me why after performing "apt-get upgrade" and waiting a few hours on my ps3 for it to do "upgrades", it is still in feisty?

[05:03] meoblast001: no idea about the ps3, but it's dist-upgrade [05:03] k [05:03] rnisly, still the same in Xorg.0.log? kernel driver not found? [05:03] the PS3 only has 256 MB O ram [05:03] un0p, bod_, well i tried playing a song and no sound. also there is still a speaker in the top right corner with a red restricted sign, so no apparent changes.

[05:10] my proc does, i wanted to know if gutsy did [05:10] mkquist: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53639/ [05:10] n2diy_: I don't think so. [05:10] apallo, your proc does what? [05:10] LadyNikon, it work "i believe" you just got to remap the shorcut keys the fun, which you can goggle to do [05:10] erm, i didn't see all of what you were saying [05:11] bullgard4: that is as shame, why do they call LTS then? [05:11] i'm on an IBM (one of the last lol), so the bios doesn't really allow for underclocking [05:11] n2diy_: the channel is this one [05:11] Arbitrary: http://www.pastebin.ca/874274 [05:11] mkquist, ??? [05:11] fatedkiss, pm me [05:11] rnisly, try another restart and check dmesg again [05:11] does anyone knows the webcam app Cheese? It makes ubuntu X server crash when I try to record a video... [05:11] i wanted to see if there's an app somewhere that i can get to allow me to change my cpu freq through ACPI [05:12] n2diy_: and the LTS just refers to package security updates and how long the repository is maintained [05:12] apallo, does the proc support cpu frequency scaling? [05:12] mkquist, i have flashplugin-nonfree, and it's not working [05:12] it's a centrino duo, so yes [05:12] anyone else? [05:13] !ubotu flash [05:13] 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 [05:13] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[05:13] apallo, then right click the gnome panel>add to panel > cpu frequency scaling applet and the do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets" after that, right click the gnome applet and you should be able to throttle the speed.

[05:14] Arbitrary: dang it [05:14] join me in #lowtech for idle chat [05:14] n2diy_: The reason for that name is that Canonical feels itself committed to remove bugs and provide security updates "for a long time".

[05:28] bod_: you can't be bothered to type any word properly, it seems [05:28] bod_, sounds about right ;) [05:28] fatedkiss, because if you are, you shouldn't be prompted to remove anything [05:28] bod_, aka, Mr. AIM-Speak [05:29] tritium, so [05:29] i hate the way this chan is practically tech support [05:29] thats what the forums are for [05:29] jeez [05:29] lol [05:29] un0p, i was actually trying to install it with synaptic first..that told me touninstall them, i then tryed apt-get [05:29] dont do this,. dont do that [05:29] speedy: no, that's what this channel is for as well [05:29] un0p, i wasnt in the chroot dir [05:29] fatedkiss, you need to follow instructions to the letter otherwise you could wreck your current system [05:29] tritium, this channel is for general support for ubuntu,.,. not just technical questions [05:30] spdf: hmm, strange it was already commented out under /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf but when i load it under Multimedia>Mplayer movie player "gmplayer".

[05:30] un0p, im pretty sure i did i was just copying and pasting, weverything seemed to go through ok [05:30] speedy: the forums haven't always even been official. This channel always has.

[05:31] fatedkiss, like i was saying yesterday - the chroot is that seperate compartment on your OS, its seperate from the main OS so what you do in it, doesnt affect the main OS and vice versa -- the fact that you were prompted to remove something suggests to me that you committed those commands outside the chroot [05:31] bod_: sure it is. [05:32] tritium, way to ignore my point -_- [05:32] i dont get it? all that link says is tick the box and it will work but it doesnt? [05:32] do i have to download something? [05:32] tritium, i come here, to get help, and to help others, that doesnt mean i can only help them if they have a technical question does it?

[05:38] spdf : i tried enabling the restricted driver earlier and it didn't work... still doesn't... don't worry about it, i can reinstall [05:38] un_op, no thats kinda how i got thrown off earlier all it says to do is install the package, so when i did i got the promt to remove others [05:38] i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade..... then restarted.... and im still running feisty... why? [05:39] ok just try to restart but i still cant enable the driver? [05:39] meoblast001, did it actually upgrade any packages? [05:39] meoblast001, chances are you're running bits of both if the command did something [05:39] meoblast001, because you didnt update your sources.list file ? [05:39] hm [05:39] meoblast001, pretty sure there's more to it than that..

[05:54] bazhang, ok , is there a way to resintall and somehow keep the settings? [05:55] Arbitrary: what about starting with ac and then going to battery? [05:55] how do you check which package that has installed a certain file? [05:55] fritsy4: Move /home to a different partition, back up /etc, reinstall feisty around it. [05:55] bazhang how do you mean? pvl1 well, no matter what method i use to install flash, it just does not work. [05:55] Arbitrary: what happens then [05:55] Sonderblade: dpkg -S [file] [05:55] Sonderblade: dpkg -S /path/to/file [05:55] Flannel backup /etc when you reformat? [05:55] l3ttuc3, well im, not sure but i dont think i got it to work eityher. i just messed with firefox plugins untill it worked [05:55] Flannel, if i do that ,teh new install will naturally create its own /home , no? thenm i will have two /home? [05:55] atm0sph: back it up to your homedir or whatnot, yeah. If he's made any global config file changes. [05:56] l3ttuc3: I think you have to use the latest opera beta to use the new flash, it has a new plugin interface [05:56] Flannel: nickrud thanks [05:56] fritsy4: no. When you do the instlal, you'll mark your old home as /home, telling the installer to not format that partition. [05:56] pvl1 oh, and if i try to get the firefox plugin, it'll tell me it's downloading it, but i seem to recall it also said it didn't install it for some reason. [05:56] fritsy4, you copy your old home folder to your new one, then login as yourself - enabel the ROOT account, logout, then chown your home folder [05:56] have you got a link to the nvidia set up guide ill take a look at it? i think i followed the steps tho?

[05:57] pvl1 been a week or two :( still no change! pdf? [05:57] atm0sph, in that case i will have two /home, no? [05:57] l3ttuc3: adobe is using a new way of interfacing with browsers (started by mozilla I think) [05:57] fritsy4: Have you actually made any changes to anything in /etc? [05:58] fritsy4, you copy your old home to the new home and set the owner as your new account... that';s that way I heard to do it.. flannels way is probablyu better though with the whole pointing the install to the old directory method [05:58] l3ttuc3, adobe made the pdf thingymbabob and yes ive been onlinx for ubuntu for months and they still havent fixed it. not realling missing it [05:58] nickrud isn't there an older plugin available that _would_ work? [05:58] I have a pc with a nonworking cdrom, but I have a spare small hard drive. Can I just copy the ubuntu iso to that hard drive and boot from it? [05:58] fritsy4, but yes, you would have two home's. One semi empty, one with your old stuff.. [05:58] Flannel, i don't know. i [05:58] [05:58] l3ttuc3: probably. Don't know where you'd find it [05:58] pvl1 i can read pdf files, using the document viewer.

[05:59] Stephen-Mason: yep, just ask the channel your question [05:59] l3ttuc3: yes [05:59] l3ttuc3, its not connected to flash. just the same company made the readers and stuff [05:59] fritsy4: Back up /etc, and then don't replace anything.

[06:21] astro76: I don't take it personally, when someone is really frustrated sometimes they're a bit sharp. I do that regularly at work [06:21] it has like 3 options, none moderate and extra? [06:21] just 3 radio buttons? [06:22] nickrud or spdf any idea what could cause it to hang? [06:22] you dont have a "custom" option? [06:22] no :( [06:22] what graphic card do you have?

[06:23] i ran it and it hung as well [06:23] astro76➲ You are being rude to me [06:23] stanger, its likely it doesn't like that for whatever reason [06:23] waited about 10 minutes on that [06:23] !ccsm | Stephen-Mason [06:23] Stephen-Mason: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [06:23] it was a burned copy from on-disk.com [06:23] that my buddy got for me [06:23] stanger, You may have some luck installing with the alternate install disc [06:23] how do i install compisconfig-settings-manager? [06:24] stanger: or try some of the options listed on the F6 screen [06:24] yeah i'm tempted to just burn my own [06:24] k [06:24] i'll try one more time then burn my own [06:24] astro76 I used to participate quite a bit here, but have cut back to almost nothing because of attitudes such as kahrytan. [06:24] astro76➲ I was trying to tell nickrud the problem and he kept trying to give me advise. He wasnt being helpful at all [06:24] Stephen-Mason, you open a terminal and run "sudo apt get install compizconfig-settings-manager" [06:24] stanger, are you connected with dvi or vga cable? [06:24] dvi [06:24] no vga outputs [06:24] 680i mobo [06:25] stanger, Hmm.. I've heard of issues when using dvi with reading the edid information and such [06:25] hmm [06:25] stanger, the solution bein to switch over to vga.. but thats not going to work for you [06:25] ha yeah [06:25] spdf: that shouldn't matter with the disk check, should it? No edid read for X [06:26] is Memory Stick Pro supported in Ubuntu7.10? [06:26] i have a buddy who has the same setup without any vga's and he said his worked ok with dvi so i dono [06:26] same vid card too [06:26] th0r➲ I have frustrated attitude because some stupid software is screwing up. Typical of anyone trying to get something working. [06:26] stanger, different monitor though, right? [06:26] ummm most likely [06:26] kahrytan nope...you mistreat a volunteer and you know what you get? [06:26] no one knows? === FWP^^^ is now known as fwp [06:26] th0r➲ who? [06:27] How do you change the UUID of an HFS+ volume? [06:27] got dced [06:27] th0r: astro76 kahrytan has helped quite a few people here, give him a break [06:27] are you still there? [06:27] how do i install that thing? [06:27] Stephen-Mason: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [06:27] nickrud being frustrated is no excuse for bad manners [06:27] life saver :D [06:28] what about memory stick?! [06:28] nickrud: I have as you see ;) and yes please lets not do this again [06:28] I love all those    [06:28] i dont like argueing ;) [06:28] 為什麼沒人幫我 [06:28] nickrud➲ i did help people here. [06:28] anyone got a eee pc?

[06:29] 久駄さい [06:29] kahrytan: yes, and I do understand your frustration. I was sharing mine, and it didn't help yours at all [06:29] astro76➲ i tried kgpg [06:29] kahrytan: I have no experience with that one [06:30] astro76➲ but it has nothing to do with making a key. I made one. It's gnupgp issue [06:30] kahrytan: you are positive you added yourself as a recipient when you encrypted it? [06:30] kahrytan: yes we know, he was just giving sage advice on key management [06:30] astro76➲ yes. [06:30] astro76➲ It says Public key not available. [06:31] astro76➲ Now it says Secrey Key Now Available [06:31] when? [06:32] astro76➲ just now [06:32] I mean when you do what? [06:33] astro76➲ push send button on thunderbird [06:33] sorry I have no experience with thunderbird or kgpg [06:33] nothing is ringing a bell [06:34] kahrytan, try launching thunderbird using ssh-agent .. ssh-agent thunderbird , add your key to the agent and then try again [06:34] where can i learn about how ubuntu is put together [06:34] kahrytan, you cannot use encryption in thunderbird with a recipient who does not have a digital certificate (if i understand it properly) [06:35] bod_➲ pgp has nothing to do with that [06:35] kahrytan, kk,.,. my bad [06:35] un0p➲ is an extention that communicates with gnupgp [06:35] methods: what parts in particular? you should look at !fhs and !apt to start, anyway [06:36] i know how to use apt [06:36] gnupgp is responding back with public key or secret key not found [06:36] and i know what fhs is [06:36] methods: not use, but how it works [06:36] i know how it works [06:36] i'm talking about ubuntu specific stuff [06:36] methods, such as? [06:37] methods: have you *read* the filesystem heirarchy standard, it really does explain how it is "put together" [06:37] methods: it's pretty standard linux [06:37] technical details... the boot system... how initram is diff... that type of stuff [06:37] hey guys, i got a external drive, but when i plug it into the laptop, it says cannot mount this volme ... can someone help me ??? [06:37] astro76➲ any ideas? [06:37] i mean you guys do something really weird with the initram dont you ? [06:37] methods: wiki.ubuntu.com, help.ubuntu.com/community, google.com [06:38] methods: the boot system is essentially system 5 , even though upstart is in the works. the initram is standard linux [06:38] methods, try googling on linux google ,.,.,.www.google.com/linux [06:38] i thought upstart was already in gutsy ? [06:38] it is [06:38] nickrud just about got fed up. opera 9.50b1 works with the last version of flash player put out by adobe, like you said. i'm sticking with that for now. [06:39] astro76➲ any ideas? [06:39] methods: but mostly everything is still using the init scripts [06:39] yea but i use to have weird issues with drivers on my old laptop... and someone told me that the drivers were only dedicated during initram... which is really odd if you ask me [06:39] kahrytan: none [06:39] how do you make it so you like cascade your windows like osx when you press f9? [06:39] hm does upstart use another layout for the scripts ? [06:39] pretty stupid noob question: anyone know whats the functoin of x-server? [06:39] methods: it's rule based [06:40] Stephen-Mason: scale plugin in compiz i think is what you want [06:40] what would you suggest for a 6502 emulator? [06:40] shishio: graphical display [06:40] methods: yes, but it's still using sysv run scripts. Probably will continue, just some mods to scipts to facilitate parallel starting. I don't think ubuntu does parallel stuff yet [06:40] hm thats really weird [06:40] i mean the new desktop linux's are changing so much [06:40] and how do you have 4 desktop instead of 2? [06:40] i run ps and have like 50 processes [06:40] astro78: lol ok, how do i disable it... i was planning to install my nvidia driver and it prompts me to disable it [06:40] on slackware i have like 8 [06:40] methods: you can start with /etc/event.d to see how inittab is replaced, but still calling run levels [06:41] Stephen-Mason, desktop,. cube,.,. and general settings plugin [06:41] Stephen-Mason: right click on the pager and change it === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:41] shishio: switch to virtual console (ctrl+alt+F1), log in, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [06:41] astro76➲ give up on me? [06:41] idk i would just like a technical break down of the guts of gutsy... im sure iwth ubuntu's docs this should exist [06:41] kahrytan: I said I have no experience with thunderbird or kgpg [06:42] astra76, if i do that all my currenly running programs will be gone? [06:42] sometimes I am prevented from typing anything in terminals... like my keyboard is frozen or broken but it's not.. how do I fix this? [06:42] astro76➲ it's gnupgp issue though [06:42] dude i had jeos installed and now ubuntu-server wont let me setup a lvm during install [06:42] shishio: yeah it will kill the x session, you might want to save data and log out first [06:42] methods: you can look at the specs and roadmaps on wiki.ubuntu.com, when I'm bored at work or need some lite reading I spend a little time there [06:42] Couldn't display "obex://[00:1/". [06:42] kahrytan: ? it's specific to thunderbird finding your key apparently [06:42] Nautilus cannot handle obex: locations. [06:42] jeos kinda pisses me off like why do i care about vmware? i was so happy with the idea of a ubuntu-server but trimme down to 150mb ... then i install it and it doens't have my nic driver and i read that its customized for vmware... [06:42] gaack, wrong channel. [06:43] astro76 ok thanks [06:44] un0p, mind lending me some help? [06:44] i would think it's only the kernel that is customized for vmware right? [06:45] fatedkiss, if i can help,. i will,.,. wots ur problem? [06:45] astro76, how do i go out from vitual mode? [06:45] maybe i should leave jeos installed but just modify the kernel [06:45] shishio: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [06:45] no server mongers in here? [06:46] astro76➲ It is a gnupgp issue. ssh agent doesnt work [06:46] astro76 ty [06:46] astro76➲ I made a key in just gnupgp and i got the same issue. [06:46] kahrytan: please don't argue with me on what I can and can't help with [06:46] astro76➲ can you help with gnupgp? [06:46] no idea what this is asking me. sudo sed -i s/dapper/breezy/g /var/chroot/gutsy/etc/apt/sources.list #point apt-get to the right release [06:47] hello, i have installed the 64bit version and i still can't get more then 2Gb of ram to show up .. anything i am missing ?

[06:49] this room is really way to touchy [06:49] methods, hey, i could told off for censoring a bad word, so its only fair u cant use acronyms,.,.lol [06:49] there are children in here methods [06:49] sorry to disturb, just checking to see if I finnaly have irc working [06:49] yes u do [06:49] k bye [06:49] bye [06:49] lol [06:50] tritium, omg im turning into u,.,.lol,.,.joke [06:51] bod_: there are worse fates than being responsible ;) [06:51] is there a quieter ubuntu room ? [06:51] hi i am using the LiveCD and making tests with alsa options on my sound card, for this I have to remove the module, but it doesn't want to be removed (the module and releated sound modules) how do I do it? [06:51] for like non mass population [06:51] nickrud, true,.,.like being doomed to stay at ur mums house for the rest of ur life [06:52] methods, theres an IRC with no mass population? [06:52] methods, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:52] i'm not looking for offtopic [06:52] methods: #ubuntu-nobody-here [06:52] methods: is it for ubuntu support? [06:52] why doesn't firefox on ubuntu cache the last visited few pages? [06:53] !channels | methods [06:53] methods: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [06:53] it does that on windows [06:53] just a room where it's not so crowded and people are more tech oriented [06:53] Sonderblade, <.< does on mine [06:53] Sonderblade, does for me [06:53] how do you install flash player ive downloaded it? [06:53] we should start a new room [06:53] every time I run apt I get this error at the end "sh: /usr/sbin/update-dpsyco: not found" how do I get rid of it? [06:53] methods: dunno, if it's ubuntu support requests then this channel, anything else #ubuntu-offtopic [06:53] Sonderblade, check firefox settings,. make sure its not deleting ur history too early [06:53] methods: there's also #linux [06:53] Sonderblade: pages that set nocache, are not cached. have you checked to see if that is set for the page in question [06:53] I second that methods! [06:54] methods, #ubuntu-nonecomein? [06:54] dude this room is constantly flooded with such newb stuff that you cant even get a response ... during the day time its rediculous [06:54] methods, that is not acceptable [06:54] you cant get a word in how is that acceptable ? [06:54] how do i reloada module [06:54] !coc | methods [06:54] methods: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [06:54] remove and reload it [06:54] oh i'm breaking some coc by talking about starting a new room lol [06:55] I need some advice. [06:55] methods, it was actually the comment after [06:55] methods, just because people may be new to linux does not mean they dont have the right to ask questions [06:55] I'm currently a windows user. [06:55] djzn: sudo modprobe -r && sudo modprobe [06:55] methods, thus why it was typed after the comment it was for [06:55] I want to try out Linux. [06:55] kbrosnan: it is a nocache page, but i'm almost sure firefox on windows caches it [06:55] !welcome | MrHank [06:55] MrHank: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [06:55] Thank you Nick. [06:55] Sonderblade: negative [06:55] methods: did you not get some answers earlier? [06:55] MrHank, you want to try out linux or try out ubuntu [06:55] !pwned [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about pwned - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:55] I want to try out Linux, but I'm not highly technical. [06:56] Where are the rules? [06:56] bod_: yes they can very well ask away but i would like an 'extra' room for more veterans... those who wish to sit here and be mr support can do so at their own desire [06:56] MrHank, you've probably hit the right distro then [06:56] MrHank, you dont have to be,.,. thats wot were here for [06:56] MrHank, assuming you're looking into ubuntu [06:56] I've heard you can boot Linux from a USB drive, but then doing some more reading I became very confused. [06:56] MrHank: then you will find ubuntu easy to start with [06:56] Why does hald run on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers but not on the other although both computers work all right? [06:56] methods, so you would like to discriminate against new users [06:56] To be honest, I've done so much reading about the different distrobutions my mind is a blur. [06:56] how do you install flash player [06:56] !offtopic | bod [06:56] bod: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:56] ? [06:57] I would like to ask one specific question. [06:57] bod_: if they let you in ;P [06:57] methods, then we would have no "veterens" answering there questions [06:57] bod_: is #kubuntu discriminating against regular ubuntu users ? [06:57] nickrud, i cant go to offtopic,.,. im banned [06:57] !brokenflash (look for the blue text on the forum page) [06:57] flash player? anyone? [06:57] !brokenflash | Stephen-Mason (look for the blue text on the forum page) [06:57] Stephen-Mason, what file did you download? [06:57] Is there any distribution of Linux (especially Ubuntu) that will allow me to download a distribution to a USB flash thumb drive, turn off my computer, and then boot up into Linux? [06:57] LMAO [06:58] FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. [06:58] does a dist-upgrade convert a system to the stock install settings? [06:58] Stephen-Mason (look for the blue text on the forum page): The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [06:58] methods, bod_ if you make it soemwhere to debate let me know i enjoy debates [06:58] I do NOT know how to do coding and programming. [06:58] methods, people learn from talking to those more experienced then themselves,. if u cannot talk to someone more experienced u will not learn,. then we will have a generation of uneducated users [06:58] MrHank: the Ubuntu desktop cd that you can download will boot into a functional ubuntu system without touching your system [06:58] MrHank: then setting up a usb stick to boot from would be kind of difficult as a first step [06:58] bod_: nobody can talk during the day!!!! stop arguing wiht me [06:58] install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [06:58] Did you extract it. [06:58] unop, still on? [06:59] methods, i find it no easier/harder to talk during the day then any other time,. [06:59] Well, I want to use a USB stick for two reasons: First, because it will be temproary. Secondly, I will be able to read and write to the stick. [06:59] yep [06:59] Stephen-Mason: you should use the package on the link I gave you, it will work better with your system [06:59] Is there a way to download linux onto a USB stick and simply boot up from it? [06:59] ok just run the file [06:59] MrHank: you don't have a cd drive? [06:59] which link? [06:59] I have a CD drive, but I'm concerned about the read and write speeds to the drive. [06:59] i would just like a quieter place where you can get a word in [06:59] MrHank: how big is your flash drive? [07:00] MrHank, i no u can have a "live cd" on a usb,.,. i dont think u can install on it [07:00] I want to buy a fast flash drive soon. [07:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 Stephen-Mason [07:00] MrHank: if you are just trying it who cares, it works well enough [07:00] methods, then start ur own "veterans" room [07:00] There are some sites that discuss/detail installing ubuntu onto a usb flash drive. [07:00] methods, arent you getting a word in now? [07:00] Stephen-Mason: and you should probably switch to xchat for irc, any line with your nick in it will be red, easier to find [07:00] Well, I want to see how decent it performs. I'm afraid that it would not perform well on the CD. [07:00] ./install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer-installer [07:00] I just want to use it some of the time and if I decide I like it install it on my PC permanently. [07:01] is this for firefox aswell? [07:01] MrHank: it performs fast or faster than windows if that's what you are comparing against, you should be more concerned about hardware compatibility [07:01] MrHank, yes u cn do that [07:01] yes, run it in a terminal. [07:01] anyone know anything about debootstrap or chroot? [07:01] MrHank, may be a lot easier to just use a live cd and save files to the usb gizmo [07:01] Stephen-Mason: yes, either mouseboyx 's method or mine will work in firefox [07:01] is there any plans to amend the checksum for gutsy (flash problem)? [07:01] fatedkiss: there are good wiki pages on both. Check them out! [07:02] not really "veterans" just not 5 billion general users [07:02] fatedkiss, depends on what you are trying to do also. :) [07:02] anyone know anyways to run the live disk through DVI? [07:02] tritium, well im trying to follow this html on installing them and i get them in its just im having problems with some errors [07:02] methods: we don't discriminate here on any basis, including experience [07:02] methods, this room has 1128 people in it,.,. only about 10 active,. i fail to see wot ur problem is [07:02] stanger, Huh? the live cd works with my video cards with DVI out. [07:02] launchpad thread is long [07:03] tritium, sorry for my ot,.but im a noob, and dont like discriminations [07:03] bod_: you're not offtopic [07:03] it says i need to be logged in anyway you could send me the file? [07:03] tritium, ok cool,.,. just checking [07:03] Dr_willis you had no problems with it? [07:03] bod_, it's not your prasek. [07:04] Carolet, prasek? what does that mean? [07:04] stanger, Nope. None at all.. If you have a video card with 2 video outs. Ive seen where some times it defaults to the other output. [07:04] prase kill [07:04] Carolet, ok,.,. i dont understand wot ur saying,.,.lol [07:04] * Carolet duzz [07:05] * bod_ bod is confused [07:05] How would I update my BIOS if its an exe? [07:05] ok this is exciting my install froze at 83% percent while writing initram [07:05] Casey, make a bootable floopy disk then boot from it [07:05] I'm back. [07:05] hi [07:05] My cat knocked over my router. [07:05] This is Mr Hank [07:05] bod_: No floppy disk [07:05] lol [07:05] bod_, you need to reboot for the means [07:06] Ok [07:06] Hi [07:06] Carolet, i dont understand anything u say my friend [07:06] It won't let me change back to MrHank [07:06] Anyway. [07:06] Casey, make a bootable cd with 1 exe on it (overkill) lol [07:06] Do any of you know of a Linux Distribution that I can download to a USB and boot off of with little or no extra coding or work? [07:06] of course - is it a windows exe or a dos exe.. :) [07:07] southernguy5:http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html [07:07] southernguy5, all distro's to my knowledge do that [07:07] Dr_willis, they r different? [07:07] bod, I've done some reading about booting Linux from USB drives and it sound complicated to me. [07:07] bod_, properly I get no saying for a wit. [07:07] bod_: Can I use my USB stick? [07:07] bod_, run a windows app under dos.. see what happens.. :) [07:07] I'll check out damnsmalllinux [07:07] im currently booting ubuntu from usb its not that hard [07:07] but limited space [07:08] southernguy5, it is extremely well documented,. u shouldnt have a problem, with the wiki's and irc ur all good [07:08] However, I am more interested in Ubuntu [07:08] tritium, i wouldnt normally ask if i can google it, unop was helping me but sorta vanished [07:08] southernguy5: it's possible to do the same with ubuntu [07:08] Casey, possibly,. check ur bios for external bootable media [07:08] Does anyone understand wot Carolet is saying to me? [07:08] tritium - So all I would need to do is download the file to my USB stick, reboot my computer, and go into Linux? [07:08] I do NOT want to do anything complicated.

[07:44] bod_, ok just wanted to know if there was a certain one for 32bit instea do 64 [07:44] southernguy5: Ubuntu 7.10 currently [07:44] if im having problems with my videocard, is the best thing to reinstall ubuntu, if it was working fine before? [07:44] How well does Ubuntu run on your computer? [07:44] fatedkiss, i dunno just go synaptic and search for firefox and install the first one [07:45] I currently use XP which is slow and laggy. [07:45] Askato, Well you may be 'stuck' you need to do sudo chmod +s /whatever/sudo I think... :) but you cant do that.. bnecause its not suid [07:45] southernguy5: it's perfect [07:45] bod_, i dont use 64bit (yet) just want to know - do all the plugins for 64bit firefox work fine? java, flash, acrobat, etc? [07:45] Does it run faster than XP? [07:45] what? [07:45] southernguy5: Yeah [07:45] southernguy5: for some reason, wireless transfer speed is faster [07:45] un0p, yep,.,. never have a problem,.,. dunno about acrobat though [07:45] bod hey [07:45] hi [07:45] cool [07:45] southernguy5: but in general linux is faster than windows [07:45] awesome.. what does the chmod +s.. do? [07:45] ls -l /usr/bin/sudo -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 91776 2007-06-15 08:49 /usr/bin/sudo [07:45] Thanks for sharing this information with me! [07:45] hi bod hey [07:45] I appreciate it. [07:45] Alita, can u browse the internet? [07:45] hey... any audio guys in the house? (i'm ripping an audio cd to high quality mp3 -- do i want mpeg I, II, or II.5) [07:45] Did you ever upgrade your RAM? [07:45] no [07:45] Askato, sets the Suid bit. [07:45] Or do you use 512MB? [07:45] southernguy5: yeah I have 2 GB [07:46] dr_pressure, neither there video formats [07:46] oh [07:46] dr_pressure, MPEG-II [07:46] southernguy5: so in that respect, Ubuntu will be much better than windows with low ram [07:46] What is the max amount of ram that the laptop will support. [07:46] I cot no sond!! [07:46] southernguy5: 2 GB [07:46] I mean sound [07:46] bod_, isnt the flash problem with 64 bit firefox or just gutsey 64 in general? [07:46] Is it hard to install on this computer? [07:46] I'm a total noob at hardware stuff. [07:46] southernguy5: not at all [07:46] yoooooooooohoooooooooooo [07:46] fatedkiss, no its for 64 bit [07:46] un0p, will it make much of a difference? [07:46] southernguy5: there's a seperate door for it on the bottom [07:47] dr_pressure, in relation to what? [07:47] bod_, you sure? those are the options my cd ripper has [07:47] Alita, CAN U BROWSE THE INTERNET??? [07:47] bod_, so 64bit gutsy? [07:47] no [07:47] no [07:47] no [07:47] On the last computer I had (a very old desktop) it was tricky to get the RAM to go into the slots. [07:47] un0p, i guess i'm asking will it make a difference to the quality [07:47] very defficult??? [07:47] hey - can NFS only be mounted on a local network? [07:47] dr_pressure, i no that a mpeg is a video file,.,. but ive never heard of mpeg2,.,. there windows formats,.,. but dont take my advice in too high regard,. im pretty new at this [07:47] fatedkiss, yes [07:48] southernguy5: here's a cool thing, the toucpad supports multi touch, the default is two finger tap for right click and three finger click for middle click ;) [07:48] hmm ill see if i can umount my harddrive, if that works can i change the suid to work properly? [07:48] Alita, is ur network encrypted? [07:48] dr_pressure, mpeg-II is probably the most widely used among mp3 players [07:48] bod: it is a neccessory to conect to internet? [07:48] dr_pressure, i'd go with that [07:48] waht? [07:48] anyone know how to get sonata to open .pls streams? [07:48] Can we talk in a query for a bit astro? [07:48] un0p, isnt mpeg a video format? [07:48] I'm trying to mount a NFS share (running on Linux) from Windows but I think Windows can only find NFS shares that are local [07:48] bod_, alright this is the firefox version it installed. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20071008 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.6 [07:49] Alita, yer internet is a good thing,. and do u have a password set up on ur network? [07:49] southernguy5: /join #astro [07:49] catstark, i dont think you want to have nfs exposed to the wild and dangerous internet. :) [07:49] bod_ as far as i know "mpg" and "mp3" are both based on mpeg technology --- or something like that [07:49] bod_, what do you think mp3 stands for? [07:49] hmm cant unmount [07:49] is there anyway to manually change the setuid? [07:50] Dr_willis - if I did though, is it possible [07:50] un0p, ok,. fair point,.,.lol [07:50] Askato, with the 'sudo chmod +s whatever' command. [07:50] bod_, there are different levels/layers for mpeg -- layer I and II refer to audio [07:50] catstark, ssh tunnle, is one way perhaps. [07:50] Askato, but you will need to do it from a livecd most likely [07:50] 4 is video no? [07:50] fatedkiss, firefox 2.0.0.11is the one u want [07:50] un0p, thankyou,.,. i didnt no that [07:50] bazhang, 3 and 4 yes [07:50] ok handy that i allready have one then [07:50] un0p, i'll go with mpeg II... thanks :) [07:51] un0p: cheers [07:51] why ff2.0.0.11 not updated? [07:51] Carolet, because u havent updated it [07:51] bod_, ok then installing it through syntax is out of the question. if i install a deb package for it i can overide the install i have now right? [07:51] bod_, thx [07:52] fatedkiss, i would swear at u right now,.,.lol,.,. just uninstall all forefox stuf and install firefox 2.0.0.11 [07:52] bod_, FF need to modify and mend [07:52] bod_, -.- [07:52] so how would i change the sutuid with a live cd? [07:52] fatedkiss, just install firfox dude,.,.,..,lol,.,..,so funny [07:52] brb leakin [07:53] bod_, im in the process of doing it [07:53] Askato, you need to chroot into the system [07:53] Askato, you might be able to repair sudo from recovery mode [07:53] Askato, of course there may be other programs that should of been 'suid' that are now not... [07:53] Askato, next time watch what you do on a system :) [07:53] meh its just a flashdrive install of ubuntu [07:53] what's a good dvd ripper [07:53] ? [07:54] i can redo is neccessary [07:54] !info dvdri [07:54] Package dvdri does not exist in gutsy [07:54] !info dvdrip [07:54] dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.6-0.0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1086 kB, installed size 2580 kB [07:54] k3b [07:54] Askato, best if you redid then [07:54] !info dvdrip [07:54] fatedkiss, gdgdgdgdgd [07:54] Haow can I use My Optical Audio output in Ubuntu I get no sound? [07:54] darn, that puts me back at square 1 how do i put my /usr on another drive.. [07:54] cre8torx, no repeating - this is a busy channel :) [07:55] Askato, lets ask this.. HOW did you copy your /usr over to the new hd? [07:55] Askato, use something like rsync [07:55] mount --bind [07:55] :o [07:55] to be exact, ls -l /usr/bin/sudo -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 91776 2007-06-15 08:49 /usr/bin/sudo [07:55] ops [07:55] Askato, you bound a directory onto a usb drive? [07:55] sudo mount --bind "/media/Local Disk/ubuntu-usr" /usr/ [07:55] yes [07:55] hey im here to help and be helped [07:55] thankyou [07:56] Askato, did you know that if you dismounted the usb drive that /usr would no longer be available? [07:56] Askato, How did you get the stuff from /usr to /media/Local Disk/ubuntu-usr [07:56] umounted ** rather [07:56] ? [07:56] no no, ubuntu is on flash drive i bound a copy of /usr over the /usr on the flashdrive [07:57] how big's your flash drive [07:57] Askato, but why tho? [07:57] * Dr_willis has totally missed the reason for this usr song and dance [07:57] 1gig, running out of space on flash drive [07:57] wanted to install apps to my harddrive [07:57] bod_, dotn worry about it ill figure it out myself, im just new and trying to figure it out [07:58] bod_, sorry for waiting your time [07:58] Askato, so you deleted the /usr folder on the usb drive and mounted /usr on your system to /usr on the usb drive to get it working? [07:58] i wonder if doing the same thing but without binding /usr/lib would work [07:58] fatedkiss, im happy to help,.,. have u got firefox? [07:58] fatedkiss, im here for a while m8,.,. ur not wasting my tim [07:58] Askato, you could just 'link' the things with ln -s :) [07:58] the old /usr is still there i belive i mounted over top of it [07:58] hmm [07:59] so ln -s will allow /usr to tap into my harddrive space? [07:59] so you really dident save any space then [07:59] You might want to check out the FUSE tools or perhaps that unionfs stuff. [07:59] but if i install something new it wont go onto flashdrive.. i think [08:00] Askato, i see - but /usr on your flash drive is probably very differrent to /usr on your system and you're bound to experience weird things [08:00] like the setuid problem [08:00] i used sudo cp to make the backup it should be exact [08:00] Askato, if you're short of space, install something tiny like dsl/puppy [08:01] Askato, if you dident copy everything from flash /usr to the hd's /usr properly - You may of also messed up a lot of permissions [08:01] fatedkiss, how u doin? [08:01] hmm [08:02] losers [08:02] What is a good way to convert a number of jpgs into a single pdf without recompressing them? [08:02] bod_, trying to figure out how to replace the existing firefox files from the tar pack i installed [08:02] so sudo cp -r might not have copied permission.. but wouldn't it make permissions wide open if it doesn't copy them? [08:02] bod_, figure i just replace the existing file with the one i extracted [08:03] fatedkiss, u should be doing all of the installing/removing of firefox through synaptic [08:03] cp -r will NOT do all the permissions correctly.. thats what i was asking about.. like 10 min ago. :P [08:03] the 'suid' bit is a very very 'security' critical permission also. :) [08:03] bod_, right and i nomrally would and i did but i didnt get 2.0.11 through synaptic [08:04] fatedkiss, really,.,. do u have medibuntu repo? [08:04] Askato, out of curiosity - what filesytem is the volume on the usb drive? [08:04] ahh, but you would think that if the suid was open permissions wise it would work fine but i would be vulnerable to somekind of attack [08:04] bod_, i wouldnt be able to tell you [08:04] usb is fat [08:04] fatedkiss, lol why? [08:04] HD is ntfs [08:04] Askato, egads... thats not going to work then at all. [08:05] bod_, becaus ei have no idea how to find that out exactly [08:05] no? [08:05] Askato, sheesh - FAT has no understanding of permissions/ownserhip [08:05] Askato, I know of no way to set the suid or other special permissions on a nfts filesystem [08:05] then if no permissions are copied onto ntfs and there are no permissions on the flash drive to start with there should no be no problems theoretically [08:05] fatedkiss, in synaptic ,. go settings-->repo's-->third party tab [08:06] Dr_willis, fuse can emulate that on ntfs -- but with fat, i dont think its possible [08:06] Askato, no... theres no permissions = NO permissions to allow it = all problems.. [08:06] lol [08:06] Askato, im suprised any of your binaries work at all. [08:06] hmm, well i still can manage to run games and apps fine lol [08:06] Askato, wrong, if there are no permissions, then you are bound to experience all types of problems [08:06] oh well [08:06] i imagine every file/directory is set execuatable [08:06] thats not good [08:07] bod_, from what i see there nothing in here that says medibuntu [08:07] fatedkiss, ok hang on [08:07] oh yea... remembered something [08:07] only the boot partition is fat the other one is ext2 come to think of it [08:07] Askato, games and apps will work -- but things like sudo won't [08:07] so /usr is on a ext2 file system [08:07] fatedkiss, click add repo,.,. add this : http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [08:08] Askato, so how is the usb drive partitioned and formatted? [08:08] badly [08:08] partition 1 is ext2 and has stuff like /usr and partition 2 has the livecd boot files with a small modification to make it save settings and that is fat [08:09] i used instructions from pendrivelinux.com [08:09] !ntsf [08:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntsf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:09] !ntfs [08:09] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [08:09] bod_, do i add the url or an actual file i download from that page? [08:09] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [08:09] fatedkiss, add that as a repo [08:10] i have access to my ntfs partition [08:10] where do I go to configure the audio? [08:11] greetings everyone. [08:11] hi [08:11] hello [08:11] bod_, deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ i add that in the line as instructed by synaptic and it wont let me select "add this source" [08:11] Askato, to be honest, this all seems like a unnecessarily complex setup to me -- if you want standard behaviour, maintain a distinction between the filesystems on your main system and those on the usb drive [08:11] i am new on ubuntu. i have some questions. anyone willing to assist? [08:11] cheaziz, ask away - we love to help [08:12] ask away cheaziz [08:12] I am a graphic designer, formerly I used to work on Windows. But after TWO hard disks have been crashed, I HAD to move to Ubuntu Linux. [08:12] ok, then is there anyway to tell ubuntu to install apps to a drive besides the one it is installed on? [08:12] fatedkiss, ok my fault,.,. trying to remember now [08:13] I have installed Skencil (which is the open source equivalent of Illustrator), but it fails to start up. [08:13] What did I do wrong? [08:13] cheaziz, try starting it from a terminal to get the error [08:13] cheaziz, how did you install it?

[08:15] seems to be an Issue with the program [08:15] cheaziz, Anything before that? [08:15] bod_, i added deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gusty main [08:15] no. nothing before that. launching it from the Graphics program list produces nothing. [08:16] i got no messages befor or after - Its crashing hard time here. [08:16] sounds like a bug report needs to get filed [08:16] i read on the Ubuntu forum that it may be an issue with the new and updated version of Python [08:16] I'm seeing something about Python 2.4 works, but not 2.5 [08:16] cheaziz: In the meantime, I would also check out inkscape [08:16] how, so how do i downgrade to 2.4? [08:17] cheaziz: I've never even heard of skencil. everyone I've heard of drawing vector graphics has been using inkscape [08:17] cheaziz, I'm also going to agree with inkscape, having not heard of skencil either [08:17] wihc sound playback offers the best sound quallity OSS, ELSA or ESD? [08:17] While we are on the subject, my external (NTFS) drive refuses to mount. [08:18] I was copying files from the nearby PC (WinXP) and when it was shutting down I must have unplugged the USB cable too quicky. [08:18] bod_, i dont knwo if it related but after i placed that repo in..my mplayer that was running an rm radio file stoped working [08:18] The mount command with the force option refuses to work.

[08:36] i got the following error messages [08:36] it was working, and i ram mdadm and now sdb1 and sdb2 are gone [08:36] voltagex, what tab is restricted can be found? i cant find it at sftware sources [08:36] but fdisk sees them [08:36] is there an alternate program to ccd2iso for converting them to iso? [08:36] cheaziz: have you installed anything previously? [08:37] i cant seem to copy the messages from the terminal [08:37] voltagex, i went to the third party tab. hit add, enterd: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy main. then hit add source [08:37] i have installed a few things on my Ubuntu build [08:37] massiveatom: as ccd is closed source likely no [08:37] right click, copy...then right click and paste [08:37] shishio: look for "Proprietry drivers for devices (restricted)" [08:37] cheaziz: go into synaptic [08:37] synaptic showed that ntfs-3g was installed, but ntfs-config was not... so i installed that [08:37] voltagex, done,, then what? [08:37] what next? [08:38] add the first four repos cheaziz [08:38] fatedkiss AND shishio you both need to update your package lists - in System > Administration > Synaptic [08:38] ok [08:39] can you show me how? sorry, but i really am a baby in this... i learn fast though... :-) [08:39] voltagex, updating... =) [08:39] i'm trying to setup scim as the default IM. I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM/Chinese , but scim seems to not be the default IM. If i right-click on a textbox and select scim as the im it works perfectly fine, but otherwise I can't trigger it to turn on. Anyone got any ideas? locale: en_AU [08:39] wow, I'm going 100 miles an hour tonight. [08:39] cheaziz: there should be some menus; do see them? [08:39] How do I make a folder shared across the network, so anyone can add/edit/delete files? Ubuntu 7.10 [08:39] yes [08:40] do you see inside one of the menus is a word repositories? [08:40] timandtom_: you should be able to right click the folder and click Share [08:40] voltagex, im thinking bout giving up on flash, ive been working at this for 3 days and tonite both people that were helping me eventually just stoped responding [08:40] Is there any way to set priority on running programs on Ubuntu? Like with Windows? [08:40] the main Ubuntu menus are Applications Places and System [08:40] where do i go? [08:40] Creed: no need that is handled by the kernel [08:40] fatedkiss: I won't stop responding for at least 3 hours :D [08:40] System [08:41] fatedkiss: hang on, isn't flash just in the Multiverse repo? [08:41] cheaziz: you are in synaptic yes? [08:41] of course there that Ubuntu icon at the top left corner.... [08:41] bazhang, but there are some programs that take cpu power away from something I need to run with highest priority. [08:41] System -> Administration [08:41] voltagex: Well I feel stupid >.> I was used to going to properties on WinXP, so I didn't even notice that button... [08:41] let me get there [08:41] voltagex, thats not what i was trying to add a repo for [08:41] Creed: gentoo ;] [08:41] i am there now [08:41] fatedkiss: well, I can help you with both, you just need to describe your problem. :D [08:42] i opened the repository menu [08:42] shishio: how'd you go? [08:42] bazhang, yuck! lol Already have Ubuntu server setup with everything and its running beautifully, no way Im switching to anything aside from Debian. [08:42] cheaziz: look in the menus in synaptic for repositories [08:42] hi? [08:42] voltagex, still updating [08:42] wiki [08:42] System -> Administration -> Synaptics Package Manager [08:42] ? [08:42] help [08:42] voltagex, to make it short flash isnt working because i have a 64 bit ubuntu distro [08:42] hindi [08:42] yes, i have opened the repositories dialog [08:42] woohoo tf2 works great in ubuntu === travisat_ is now known as travisat [08:42] Creed: just kidding--you should read up on that as I really have no clue-- #ubuntu-server might help as well [08:42] Click RELOAD [08:43] fatedkiss: ah, from what I can remember there is a workaround. [08:43] voltagex: Awesome, all done :D Thanks. [08:43] that will refresh [08:43] cheaziz: click the first four [08:43] but you need to add repositiroes right? [08:43] frankzhao, whatcha need help with? (I can understand hindi so you can write in that if you wish). [08:43] voltagex, right there is [08:43] fatedkiss: at the moment you're going to have to google, because I have no bandwidth to spare! [08:43] voltagex, but apprently i need firfox 2.0.11 and that didnt install with synaptic [08:43] !hn [08:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about hn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:43] voltagex, so i needed a new repo from medibuntu [08:44] it reads Ubuntu Software, Third-Party Software, Updates, Authentication and Statistics [08:44] fatedkiss: iirc you just run a 32 bit version of firefox to use flash. [08:44] the download option is Main Server [08:44] voltagex, done, finished updating [08:44] cheaziz: the first four not the tabs [08:44] fatedkiss: in fact, in your situation I'd just run a 32 bit browser full stop, I can't think of any advantage to running a 64 bit browser. [08:45] fatedkiss: what do you mean, couldn't synaptic find the 32bit firefox? [08:45] u mean the ones downloadable from the Internet? [08:45] voltagex, well ive been told but it comes down to no one can help me do so [08:45] Well, I wrote a text replacement program short of like texter and textpander... [08:45] so far so good. [08:45] voltagex, becaus ei have litteraly been searching forums for about 3 days [08:45] but I have race conditions, and that bugs me. [08:45] yes cheaziz check the first four repositories main universe, etc, etc [08:45] fatedkiss: I will help you as much as I can. Where did you get stuck? [08:46] peabody: text replacement program? like sed? [08:46] voltagex, synaptic is only installing a 64 bit 2.0.6 installation of the browser named firefox [08:46] voltagex, really im stuck in 3 diff places [08:46] fatedkiss: that sounds like you need a 32 bit repository [08:46] dehspehl: Nah, kind of like abbreviations in vim, but for the entire desktop [08:47] voltagex, is there not a simpler way? [08:47] fatedkiss: can you PM me the name of the repository you're using? [08:47] afk [08:47] dehspehl: the windows folks seem to call these things text replacement programs [08:47] sorry, i accidentally disconnected myself [08:47] voltagex, i mean can i not just download it from mozilla site? [08:47] lol [08:47] peabody: ahh.. how exactly would that work? [08:47] say I type afk [08:47] and hit a non-word character [08:47] ok, they are being downloaded now [08:47] I could have it backspace and type out 'away from keyboard' [08:47] fatedkiss: techically you could but it's much better to use a package and let Ubuntu manage it. [08:48] cheaziz: after enabling those close the repo window and in synaptic hit the reload key [08:48] peabody: yeah, but does it like read every key that X receives and replace it 'live'? [08:48] dehspehl: yes === adante_ is now known as adante [08:48] bazhang: i have done that. process complete. what next? [08:48] peabody: ouch, expensive. [08:49] voltagex: cpu usage is practically zero [08:49] there's no other way, really... [08:49] voltagex, i just feel this could of been fixed if (and no offence meant) that bod- or unOp would of just told me they had to go instead of dissapearing [08:49] cheaziz: now search for the package you wanted-- forget what it was [08:49] ntfs-3g? [08:49] right [08:49] But actually, it doesn't read it from x11, it reads it from /dev/input/* [08:49] fatedkiss: it really really sounds like you need to add a 32 bit repo and tell Synaptic or APT to use the 32 bit one. [08:49] search for ntfs cheaziz [08:49] ahh so not limited to X even... [08:49] and that's my problem, it's not perfectly synced with x11 [08:49] fatedkiss: no use crying over spilt milk. This really isn't a complex problem. It's common and there are known workarounds. [08:50] there were several options already installed, with the exception of 1 [08:50] i have added that one too [08:50] dehspehl: well, sorta not limited, but...I use xtest to send events, so response is limited to x11 [08:50] fatedkiss, I dunno why you are having problems -- whats up now? [08:50] process complete [08:50] hi [08:50] now apply changes cheaziz [08:50] done that as well [08:50] un_op, flash [08:51] fatedkiss, pm me [08:51] basically, a demonstration of the program is available here: http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html [08:51] voltagex: and not even a thank you (nice work though) [08:51] peabody: could you somehow have an alternate device for when your program has "finished" with expanding, that can be used? [08:51] bazhang: ? [08:52] voltagex, i didnt ask you to pm me :) because he's been at it for 2 days now [08:52] dehspehl: alternate device?? [08:52] ill just try the repo [08:52] saying nice work voltagex [08:52] peabody: like create your own device node [08:52] dehspehl: You mean something other than xtest? [08:52] un_op: well if you're versed in this workaround then go for it. I can't understand what the problem is [08:52] un_op, 3 really [08:53] voltagex, it's just getting a chroot up, is all [08:53] HI! Where does ubuntu read its configuration from when xorg.conf AND failsafe are missing please? [08:53] fatedkiss, ok, 3 then -- pm me [08:53] un_op: sudo :P [08:53] voltagex, sudo? [08:53] peabody: no, like /dev/input/expanded and have X use that [08:53] un_op: I hate chroots :D [08:53] dehspehl: well, I don't know... can yousend input to /dev/input? I mean, I can only make device nodes the kernel supports without having to make my own kernel patch (which is beyond my realm of expertise) [08:53] reakta1, it autoconfigures itself [08:54] un_op, i was advised all i need to do is install a 32bit flash or 32bit firfox instead of going through chroot wich is honestly not making sence [08:54] anyone tried seahorse? [08:54] dehspehl: I wouldn't know how to get X to use that, but that's not the issue really. The problem is not relying on X for reading the input. Basically, my program seems to read input a little faster than X does! [08:54] cheaziz: you get it installed? [08:54] dehspehl: so the problem is, I drive these expansions by sending backspaces to wipe out the abbreviation. [08:54] fatedkiss, it doesnt make sense to me either - afaik, you need a chroot to get 32bit apps running within a 64bit system [08:55] fatedkiss: yes, that's what I think too, but un_op may know better [08:55] not sure if you need to log out /log in again for the changes to work--no ntfs drives here ;] [08:55] fatedkiss, how well did it go with the chroot? [08:55] dehspehl: If all KeyPress events haven't made theiI way to the window, I end up backspacing things I'm not supposed to, etc, etc. [08:55] peabody: ahh [08:55] bazhang: why does the command 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE -o force' resuse to work? [08:55] i am logged in as root [08:55] un_op: is there a way to PARTLY configure xorg.conf? Apropos I'd like to configure my mouse manually but let ubuntu load up my graphics etc. [08:55] un_op, the instructions work but there parts in it that make no sence. like where and how to install the linux32 without removing necessery files [08:56] cheaziz: why root? [08:56] Well - a space in the name of the mountpoint will require you to quote or escape the space. [08:56] fatedkiss, un_op: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [08:56] I suggest use DataDrive [08:56] dehspehl: I pretty much put in a delay that works realy really well, but the problem is that the amount of the delay to use would probably vary from system to system. [08:56] because when i tried before i got an error saying that it can only be done in root [08:56] reakta1, sure, just create an xorg.conf and put your customisations in [08:56] so i logged in as su [08:56] oy [08:57] fatedkiss, pretty much everything you install is in the chroot - except the first two packages schroot and debootstrap [08:57] !sudo | cheaziz [08:57] cheaziz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [08:57] I was kind of hoping I'd receive more response to the program because I wrote it specifically because a lot of people seemed to be bothered by the fact that desktop Linux didn't have any programs like Textpander. [08:57] peabody: I did forget you had to delete the abbrev [08:57] un_op: tried that and my X doesn't want to load then... it logs errors about not finding screens and devices... any workarounds? [08:57] ok, so what is the command to mount the drive? [08:57] * Dr_willis has never heard of textpander. [08:57] :) [08:58] un_op, the thing is it doesnt tell you when to change directories or if you have to at all [08:58] !sudo [08:58] reakta1, try this command to see if xorg.conf is created -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorf [08:58] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [08:58] cheaziz: did you see what Dr_willis said upthread? [08:58] reakta1, try this command to see if xorg.conf is created -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg (oops) [08:58] peabody: do you use events to send all input? I assume there's a way to send to input directly [08:58] 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /media/DATADRIVE' or similer [08:58] un_op: no offence, but I'd stop ****ing around with chroot and use that script. It looks very good. [08:58] dehspehl: Not that I know of. If you know anything that'd be great, but I've been looking :). [08:58] that is the command that i use [08:59] fatedkiss, well it does -- about the 3rd command asks you to chroot, and everything from there on happens in the chroot [08:59] peabody: which would bypass xtest, but might or might not stop the race condition.. i think [08:59] voltagex, !language - kids and women do come in here [08:59] are there any known problems with the "cook" audio codec? [08:59] dehspehl: The race condition is probably unavoidable because I'm not getting the events from X [08:59] dehspehl: Bad news is, I couldn't find a reliable way to snoop every keystroke in X [08:59] un_op: that's why I used asterisks, but understood. [09:00] All implementations I found just didn't reliably do what I needed. [09:00] peabody: hmm, that was supposed to be an unavoidable problem on multi-user X servers (several users at a time, one big display) [09:00] fatedkiss, if you're out of patience, you could try the link voltagex just posted, it looks promising [09:00] howdy [09:00] bazhang: now u see why i was PMing u... lol [09:00] un_op, and when i do that i got those errors i posted earlier [09:01] dont want root on irc cheaziz [09:01] dehspehl: Well, I've tried the programs I saw, keylogging is something that people don't seem to care about losing bits of input here and there :) [09:01] is it me or does the new compbiz suck compared to the older beryl [09:01] fatedkiss, scrap the chroot project, it's probably not worth it [09:01] un_op: that will create one indeed but the problem is that my video card seems to be that most ANTI-linux one and doesn't want to configure with the xorg.conf... But I do need that file for my touchpad etc... Are you shure there's a way to have that file only partial? [09:01] all the keylogger implementations I found either didn't work, or didn't capture input events from newly created windows. [09:01] glickster, its just you. [09:01] brb [09:01] peabody: generally you just want the ones that are password, etc.. otherwise it's a bad keylogger if it can't get those [09:01] Dr_willis, it doesnt have as many options as beryl had [09:01] peabody: http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/focus-linux/2005-08/0055.html [09:01] glickster, big deal. [09:01] glickster: in what way? compiz seems to be a lot less buggy. [09:02] peabody: don't know if that would help or not [09:02] glickster: default gutsy install? [09:02] glickster, beryl is dead. from what i gather.. the code is now merged into compiz-fusion. [09:02] has anyone heard of the hamiltonian path problem before? [09:02] reakta1, what i would do if i were you is use that command to generate the xorg.conf as much as possible, then edit to make changes to accomodate the video card, touchpad, etc [09:02] dehspehl: I'll take a look, thanks. [09:02] I imagine in a year there will be 10000+ plugins/extras for compiz-fusiion that no one ever uses or needs. :) [09:02] yeah voltagex [09:03] dehspehl: Ahaha! hey, that's the exact keylogger programm I ended up using for my program! [09:03] glickster: ah, the extra options are in another package [09:03] It's the defacto example of /dev/input keylogging out there. [09:03] reakta1, that could mean things like the video card arent created initially but you can always add it in later [09:03] I basically altered it to spit out just the keysequences, one per line [09:04] I then read it from a pipe from my python-xlib program. [09:04] peabody: so that doesn't help.. [09:04] glickster: compizconfig-settings-manager [09:04] peabody: doesn't that program show how to send keys as well? [09:04] voltagex, what package? [09:04] glickster: so sudo apt-get compizconfig-settings-manager or install it using Synaptic [09:04] dehspehl: nah [09:04] jesus! [09:04] why the hell is it another package!? [09:04] that makes no sense [09:05] glickster: ^ above, although I'm lagging about 6 seconds behind you. [09:05] am back [09:05] glickster: because not everyone needs the extra options, and they may be confusing for newbies. [09:05] dehspehl: anyway. the real issue is that if I'm not relying on x to report key events to me, I'm not synchronized with X. [09:06] not being synchronized with X means there will always be race conditions. [09:06] The only true way to do this right is to write a kernel module that can intercept all input and alter it. [09:06] bazhang: what were u saying about the sudo command? [09:06] cheaziz: as normal user? [09:06] But I wanted to see if I could create a solution that wouldn't depend on hacking the kernel. [09:06] peabody: i.e. being linux all the way or X all the way [09:07] am the new guy here... lol... u show me the ropes [09:07] dehspehl: exactly [09:07] peabody: plus, would be easier to port... [09:07] assume I KNOW NOTHING about Linux... that way it will be easier [09:07] cheaziz: best to never use su--lots of risk there [09:07] compare to me, you are in college, while i am in kindergarten [09:07] can ubuntu brew beer? [09:07] ok... advice taken [09:07] that would be Brewbuntu [09:07] how do we do this with sudo? [09:07] haha Dr_willis [09:08] im thinking of creating a isreali version of ubuntu [09:08] dehspehl: yeah, If I was able to create something that only depended upon X11, it could be used in other circumstances. [09:08] called Jewbuntu [09:08] hey guys... what's the group sambashare for? is it supposed to be the group for all users who want to connect to a share on my server? or for admin users? [09:08] un_op: thanks - i'm off to ellaborate.. [09:08] if anyone wants to help... [09:08] glickster: offtopic [09:08] glickster: rofl! i love the name [09:09] I dont even have that group mueslix .. [09:09] dehspehl: bad news is, all of my attempts to read keyboard input from x just didn't seem to work well at all, which, like you said, is ironic because security experts have been harping for years that it's just soooo easy to listen to all the keystrokes in x11 without security [09:09] cheaziz: do the ntfs drives show up now? [09:09] * bazhang bets he has permission issues now [09:09] heh [09:09] But I gotta say, [09:10] I sorta wrote this program not because I really needed it... [09:10] but because I thought other people might want to use it... [09:10] And I've received zero input from other people [09:10] peabody: gpl? [09:10] yeah [09:10] http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html [09:10] well it is night time for most users so wait a bit [09:11] bazhang: they show up, but they cannot be mounted [09:11] Dr_willis: oh i should mention: that's me running hardy [09:11] cheaziz: any error messages? [09:11] yes... [09:11] !hardy | mueslix [09:11] mueslix: 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 [09:12] cheaziz: permission problems? [09:12] bazhang: Well, that's the thing, I announced it on the ubuntu forums, a while ago. got no feedback at all. === human2008 is now known as human [09:12] Kind of a downer considering that if you search for AutoHotKey (the windows equivalent) you get a bunch of messages about how people are looking for replacement programs. === human is now known as human3000 [09:13] peabody: that is probably not the best place--that is mostly new users wanting to get the cube spinning [09:13] $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount /dev/sdb5 Operation not supported Mounted is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. [09:13] Spin that Cube! [09:13] ruh roh [09:13] bazhang: heh, well the abf yeah. But I put it under programming talk and other places. [09:13] the cube is overrated, but compiz is still a far superior WM [09:13] how do i edit the /etc/fstab file? [09:14] The nicest thing about compiz in my opinion is the zoom plugin. [09:14] there is the command line to be added [09:14] cheaziz, its a text file. use sudo WHATEVEDITIRYOULIKE /etc/fstab [09:14] With zoom, it's easy to make desktop videos for youtube that people can actually see. [09:14] cheaziz: sudo gedit /etc/fstab ? [09:14] That's how I made the video for autokey [09:14] /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE ntfs-3g defaults, force 0 0 [09:14] peabody: yes! I just discovered that. Wonder if it can do anti aliasing [09:14] peabody: true [09:14] cheaziz, command lines dont go in fstab. 'fstab entries' go in there :) [09:14] ok, let me see [09:15] drwillis: thanks [09:15] cheaziz, and that line you pasted has several tyos in it. [09:15] drwillis: am glad u r watching over me [09:15] voltagex: if you convert the video using mencoder the result is nice and smooth looking [09:15] tyos haha [09:15] drwillis: i am typing it as it was shown here... [09:15] irony unbound [09:15] its /dev/DEVICE /path/to/Mount/To [09:15] peabody: unfortunately then YouTube makes it look bad then. [09:15] cheaziz, you are missing a space and you need to give the full path to the mountpoint [09:16] /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE ntfs-3g defaults, force 0 0 [09:16] voltagex: I don't know, what do you think of this: http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html [09:16] YouTube videos are very low resolution [09:16] and i doubt if you want to use 'force' [09:16] there's a reason they don't even have a download link [09:16] can u correct it? i copied from the error message [09:16] cheaziz, if you want it to mount to /media/DRIVE you need to tell it /media/DRIVE [09:16] and the directoru /media/DRIVE MUST exist beforhand. [09:17] peabody: I don't know, apparently I don't have flash xD [09:17] the drive label is DATA DRIVE [09:17] WITH a space [09:17] cheaziz, the drive label means nothing.. [09:17] could that be the problem? [09:17] voltagex: ah, nm then [09:17] cheaziz, you could name it 'hotvideos' [09:17] hehe [09:17] peabody: when you type something in does it automatically change it or do you have to press some key to make it work? [09:17] So, uh. Changing my default mixer device in "system->sound" didn't make everything use it. [09:17] cheaziz, its /dev/Device /whatever/path/you/want [09:17] Only thing I have sound for is skype and pidgin [09:17] travisat: automatic [09:17] peabody: no, I've just set this machine up, I'll tell you what I think when flash installs. [09:18] travisat: although it doesn't expand until a non-word character is typed [09:18] peabody: ah ok I personally would not want it system wide because I know there are many places where what I write is what I mean to write and having it expand on what I wrote might cause problems [09:18] erghh. md5sum mismatch for Flash. [09:18] travisat: I hear ya, I'm going to be adding a trigger key that can turn the program off temporarily [09:19] cheaziz: /dev/sdb5 /media/mountpoint ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0 [09:19] !flash | voltagex [09:19] voltagex: 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 [09:19] 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. [09:19] travisat: To be honest, it's not even something I use myself much, I wrote because people apparantly want that...they want something like the textpander and autohotkey programs [09:19] still broken? [09:19] Aw, everyone is to busy to help me :P [09:19] yesh [09:20] !night [09:20] It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. [09:20] peabody: well yah I can type out what I want usually as fast as the couple of letters for the acronym [09:20] yes that is how I tried to install Flash [09:20] voltagex, i somehow messed up my mozilla browser [09:20] drwillis: i have done that... now what? [09:20] fatedkiss: do tell! [09:20] cheaziz: make sure '/media/mountpoint' has no spaces etc, and is an existing and empty directory [09:21] cheaziz: then do 'sudo mount /media/mountpoint' [09:21] or sudo mount -a [09:21] well i installed the 32 bit version but now it doesnt have any of the toolbars or anything [09:21] fatedkiss: what do you mean by any of the toolbars? [09:21] empty directory? [09:21] fatedkiss: sure they're not just unticked? [09:21] I have had a Ubuntu install screw up and forget to setup sudo before [09:21] like i dont have file..bookmarks, etc.. [09:21] the DATA DRIVE has tons of data... does this mean the command may ERASE all the data? [09:22] cheaziz: NOOO [09:22] voltagex, i have no way to click them if they are [09:22] cheaziz, no - it will make the drive show up at the mountpoint [09:22] fatedkiss: wow, ouch. uninstall and reinstall? [09:22] hello, I was hoping someone could help me with an error message my computer keeps showing [09:22] voltagex, i tried that [09:22] etrask: sure, just ask the question [09:22] should i reboot, or just do the sudo command? [09:22] etrask: yes, describe/copy the error message [09:22] voltagex, i purged firefox, then i reinstall and i get both the 64bit and 32 bit both with same problem [09:22] I just installed Ubuntu server on it, and the console keeps printing "[ *some number* ] over-current change on port x" [09:22] fatedkiss: I'm really sorry I don't know what is going wrong [09:22] x keeps changing between 2 and 4 [09:23] voltagex, me either [09:23] fatedkiss: actually, try starting a terminal and starting firefox there [09:23] I know it's probably not an ubuntu problem [09:23] voltagex, whats the syntax [09:23] etrask: Well, can you use the system? [09:23] still, I can't really use the console with it printing about 10 of those a second [09:23] cheaziz: use 'sudo mount -a', just in case you set something by accident that would prevent booting [09:23] fatedkiss: firefox-bin I think [09:23] fatedkiss: try typing fire and pressing tab [09:23] etrask: have you tried switching to a different vt? [09:24] yeah, they all show that [09:24] fatedkiss: you might also want to try with a new profile [09:24] voltagex, same thing [09:24] fatedkiss: yes, but are there any errors printed in Terminal? [09:24] etrask: Any chance you could copy the exact error message here? [09:24] fatedkiss: also, try Ziroday's suggestion. [09:24] Ziroday, new profile? [09:24] it's on the other system, hold on I'll write it down [09:25] fatedkiss: one min [09:26] fatedkiss: run firefox -profilemanager [09:26] what package is the 'service' command included in? [09:27] anybody familiar enough with svn & svn:ignore to know whether you could use svn:ignore to ignore everything except a specific extension? [09:27] gee is ent service just like an alias for /etc/init.d/whatever start :) [09:27] peabody: [563.92385] hub 4-0:1.0 over-current change on port 4 [09:27] i saw some tutorial/site mention it. but i never use dit. [09:27] the number in brackets just keeps incrementing so I couldn't get the EXACT number [09:27] but "hub 4" and "port 4" keep alternating between 4 and 2 [09:28] looks like a usb hub error [09:28] :( [09:28] *sigh* now the fun starts, rsynching 7.6 terabytes of data from one machine to another [09:28] hub? not the stuff directly on the mobo? [09:28] maybe you can unplug some devices and figure out if it stops ? [09:28] the onlything plugged into a USB port at all is the mouse [09:28] strange [09:28] I've tried and it keeps doing it :( [09:28] Symmetria: over what connection, and how on earth did you generate 7.6TB? [09:29] fatedkiss: any luck? === echos_ is now known as echos [09:29] heh voltagex heh gigE between the machine, duplicating mirror server and moving to anycast infrastructure [09:29] heh voltagex http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53620/ <=== disk space in the new machine :p [09:29] Symmetria: you have better toys than me. Shouldn't be too painful on GigE though. [09:30] Good morning all. [09:30] heh voltage Im just wishing I had a spare 10gig interface, I have one in the server Im rsynching FROM but not one in the one Im rsyching 2 [09:31] Hi All, this is Kenny. [09:31] Hi Ken [09:31] Symmetria: just interested how much are you paying for drives, also what size? [09:32] Ziroday, sorry went to check on something sounded like someone wa sin my house [09:32] fatedkiss, hope all is okay. [09:32] fatedkiss: no problems [09:32] fatedkiss: ubuntu cannot prevent break ins :D [09:32] * Spee_Der working on2nd cup of wake up juice. [09:32] :) I'd like to ask a question... I've installed a new Ubuntu but every time I need to include env variables http_proxy/ftp_proxy for passing thru the proxy. Can I have some alternative ways? [09:32] heh voltagex cant remeber what we paid for em, but those sdk, sdl and sdm are 500gig sata disks in iSCSI arrays, md0 is an array of 8 300gig internal SCSI drives [09:33] voltagex, Ziroday, Spee_Der, naw i was just reay get beat someone with a studded belt and stab with a pen [09:33] then there are 2 more scsi disks on the base system [09:33] but that machine in total has 46 disks linked to it (tons and tons of space lost because of raid redundancy though) [09:33] Theres so many HD's in that machine im suprised it dont spin around like a gyroscope [09:33] Symmetria: current prices are <50cAUD per GB for 500GB drives. 2TB is looking nice. [09:33] :) [09:33] fatedkiss, I want the video [09:34] heh I have another array in the machine Im rsyching from which is made up of 15 x 750gig SATA disks in a SAS attached storage bay [09:34] * Spee_Der is once again thankful for all the help in this ubuntu channel..... [09:34] Spee_Der, so will the cops [09:34] that thing is *FAST* [09:34] fatedkiss, ya' think ? :> [09:34] and ubuntu had no problem with the controller :) [09:34] Spee_Der, /shrug [09:35] Ziroday, firefox -profilemanager didnt work [09:35] Symmetria: what kind of iscsi system? [09:35] fatedkiss: well then you really are stuffed, is your machine 32 or 64bit? [09:35] Symmetria: commercial or home-brew? [09:35] jonathaN the iscsi systems are intel SSR220MA's [09:36] intel systems [09:36] Ziroday, 64 [09:36] Symmetria: so homebrew? :) [09:36] fatedkiss: are you running 32bit or 64bit version of ubuntu? [09:36] I wouldnt go iscsi again if I could avoid it [09:36] jonathaN no [09:36] Ziroday, 64 [09:36] wanted virtua girl for ubuntu [09:36] Symmetria, why is that ? [09:37] ooops they are SSR212MA's I think, those are dedicated intel san's [09:37] for iSCSI [09:37] ahh [09:37] alright [09:37] spee its slow as hell compared to something like SAS [09:37] edit superuberaber superuberabber [09:37] Symmetria: really? [09:37] ah [09:37] Ok [09:37] mmm [09:37] sorry about that [09:37] playing around with my program [09:37] iscsi on proper hardware is just fine. [09:37] jonathaN its fine, but its not as fast as something like a powervault md1000 array [09:38] and the powervault md1000 arrays are no more expensive than the iSCSI systems [09:38] fatedkiss: well from what I can see you have 2 choices, a) use another browser besides firefox (opera or epiphnay) or b) you reinstall (i recommend you use the 32bit version nextime) [09:38] Symmetria: I'm using DS3400 for stuff in that space. [09:38] heh, I cap out on my powervault systems with a read speed of over 400Mbytes/second [09:38] and a write speed of 200Mbytes/second === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:38] and thats in raid 5 config [09:38] Symmetria: well, Gbit ethernet wil be a limitation there anyway : [09:39] on a per host basis, at least. [09:39] jonathaN err dont run gigE in that box for most things :) [09:39] run 10gE [09:39] ixgbe card [09:39] does it offer CPU monitoring? [09:39] whats the bottleneck? [09:39] Ziroday, might still be hope, i just need to get tot he link i was at [09:39] fatedkiss: aha [09:39] jonathaN bottleneck is the sas controllers, they are limited to 3gigabit per controller, 2 controlloers into the array [09:40] cause you take something like a midrange nseries, and you can saturate multiple GBe adapters. [09:40] heh that and the physical disk speed :) [09:40] Symmetria: I'm talking about on the iscsi box. [09:40] voltagex, can you repost that link for me by anychance? [09:40] fatedkiss: afk, 5mins [09:40] i am back folks [09:41] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [09:41] Symmetria: like the IBM DS3000 series, they're sas backed, but iscsi, sas, or FC frontend [09:41] JonathanD Im not actually sure, I want to strip those boxes down, rip out the flash drive in them, put ubuntu on them, put software raid on them, and then turn them into NFS systems [09:41] :p [09:41] i got the external NFTS drive (which has two partitions) to work, after mounting and unmounting it on a Win box... [09:41] I have a feeling that the operating system on those iSCSI san's is its bottleneck [09:41] Symmetria: ahh :P [09:41] now, how do I import Adobe Illustrator (.AI) (Windows) files using Inkscape? [09:42] Think Ubuntu would let me get away with swapping PS/2 keyboards? [09:42] Symmetria: I really like iscsi, just not as an end all be all solution. [09:42] fire up inkscape see if it can load it? [09:42] inkscape loads up ok [09:42] hi [09:42] wanted virtua girl for ubuntu [09:42] I recall some other vector editor program for linux and windows both - BUt it wasent gpl. I forget its name. :( [09:42] I'd like to see more combo iscsi/fc hardware. [09:42] jonathaN iSCSI works for mass storage etc, it just doesnt work imho as a very high speed solution for load intensive systems [09:42] Peng: it isn't ubuntu you need to be worried about, you really shouldn't be pulling out ps/2 stuff with the computer on [09:43] jonathaN I'd rather go external SAS than almost anything, external SAS is faster than FC as well [09:43] with both interfaces on the storage controller, to give you flexability for inexpensive stuff. [09:43] Symmetria: SAS is a slower interface. [09:43] how can i create a multisession disk in ubuntu [09:43] drwillis: does xara LX translate .AI files? [09:43] and with the powervault you can throw in SATA disks [09:43] errr no, its not [09:43] with the same speed disks, it wont be any faster. [09:43] FC = 2gigabit [09:43] SAS = 3gigabit [09:43] Symmetria: It'd work just fine for my MP3 collection^H^H^H^H^Hcommercial multimedia productions [09:44] Symmetria: old FC = 2gb [09:44] current would be 4, or more. [09:44] I haven't installed a new piece of FC equipment < 4Gb in over a year. [09:44] hello [09:44] travisat: Really? Hmph, ok. Perhaps it's time for me to start using USB? [09:45] JonathanD fair enough, other thing though about FC, are there any *fast* FC array boxes which take SATA disks in them? [09:45] (my SAS arrays are filled with large SATA disks) [09:45] Symmetria: DS4000 [09:45] hello there [09:45] JonathanD pricey or not really? [09:45] DS3000, although it's FC frontend/Sas backend. [09:46] travisat: What happens if I do pull 'em out? Frying? Explosions? [09:46] thats an IBM box right? [09:46] what on earth? What would cause a clock skew on a compile? [09:46] Symmetria: the DS4000 is up there, it's still midrange though. [09:46] DS3000 is pretty affordable. [09:46] as SANs go. [09:46] both are IBM boxes. [09:46] Peng: most likely nothing, but there is a very small chance you could short something [09:46] well cntrl+b bring up bookmarks but there gone anyways [09:47] how can i create a multisession CD when i am writing the data [09:47] JonathanD you seen the md1000 powervault? [09:47] i installed ubuntu linux yet. but it doesnt see me as a root, so it doesnt show me new updates. what can i do ? [09:47] Peng: oh and there is no reason to use usb as of yet [09:47] Symmetria: no. but I admit I have an IBM bias. [09:48] * Symmetria notes that IBM is probably not going to give him great pricing :p they arent very happy with me [09:48] hey, I'm using GTK with C, yet it throws errors that it cannot find gtk/gtk.h -- what path should I use instead? [09:48] travisat: I think I unplugged my keyboard and mouse once for some reason. Nothing was damaged, but the computer stopped recognizing them and I had to hard reset or something. Whoops. [09:48] infact I think our local IBM office probably hates my guts right now :p [09:48] travisat: Wouldn't USB let me have two plugged in at one time? [09:48] Symmetria: go through a BP then :p [09:48] Symmetria: where you at? [09:48] heh JonathanD in .za [09:48] Peng: yah and you can have a usb and a ps/2 plugged in at the same time too [09:48] How do I go about changing the screen saver? [09:48] they are a little sore cause I awarded an 18 million dollar tender to someone else :p [09:49] Symmetria: :) [09:49] Better than losing 7 billion $ [09:49] storage or otherwise, Symmetria? [09:49] JonathanD networking (cisco kit) [09:49] travisat: My mouse is USB and I use the PS/2 adapter that came with it, but neither of the keyboards are USB. Hm. [09:49] ibm = second largest cisco partner in the world if I remeber correctly [09:50] Symmetria: likely be totally different sales folks if you went to them for storage. [09:50] travisat: Anyway, thanks for the help. [09:50] Symmetria: yeah, they're huge cisco vendor. I think they sell more than cisco does. [09:50] * Symmetria is waiting on 5 tons of cisco kit to arrive [09:50] same with netapp. [09:50] Any updates on the 7b$ scandal btw? [09:50] JonathanD errr thats because cisco doesnt sell direct, to anyone :p [09:51] voltagex, can you repost the link you gave me earlier by anychance? [09:52] Symmetria: I just did a fake DS3400 config [09:52] dual FC controller with 9TB of disk, about 20K :p [09:52] hello there. i installed ubuntu linux yet. but it doesnt see me as a root, so it doesnt show me new updates. what can i do ? [09:52] (4Gbit FC) [09:52] nero for ubuntu [09:53] jonathaNd thats more than double the powervault price [09:53] :p [09:54] hi I was wondering if there is a fix to hibernate not working with nVidia? [09:54] Symmetria: the powevault is single host? [09:54] or a SAN? === Ordius is now known as DarkW0lf [09:54] jonathaN stackable SAN === pawan is now known as pawan12 === pawan12 is now known as pawan [09:54] A/j #mythtv-dev [09:54] the description is weird :p [09:54] wtf [09:54] 6gigabit (has 2 x 3gigabit SAS controllers) [09:55] hello [09:55] Symmetria: that was for a 4 x 4 Gbit FC controller. [09:55] 2 dual port controller. [09:56] Ziroday, definatly gunna have to reinstall ubuntu again [09:56] firefox is dead [09:56] whenever I hibernate ubuntu and resume it, it crashes back to the login screen [09:56] fatedkiss: if you're going to do that, I'd suggest the 32bit version unless you have a specific reason to use 64bit [09:56] does anybody know if there's a solution to the problem? [09:57] DarkW0lf, use Suspend [09:57] voltagex, i probably will..just have to redownload the iso for it [09:57] Symmetria: you can price stuff yourself : http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-62168&brandind=5000008 [09:57] filthpig: suspend doesnt work either as far as I know [09:57] not sure why either [09:57] voltagex, i dont really got much choice at this time. i think ive caused almost every problem i can with ubuntu [09:57] it is, however, a windows tool [09:57] I guess I'll have to look through my logs [09:58] laptop or desktop? [09:58] i have a movie encoded with the "cook" codec (which i have installed in /usr/lib/win32), totem will not play the audio, vlc will not even play the video for some reason, but Kino can play both [09:58] voltagex, im probably gunna try get at least 4 hrs of sleep right now thou [09:58] anyone know any reason/solution? [09:58] guys. [09:58] http://en.naughtyholiday.com/?id=b6bf576f7f3fa6248084c9e9abb8b5c3 [09:59] thanks everyone see ya again [09:59] How do I go about changing the screen saver? [09:59] johnguyen: don't spam in here [09:59] arnath: it is how the programs check for codecs, totem and kine are not using the same subsystem and vlc has its own [10:00] * peabody is sad [10:00] travisat: is there a player that uses the same as kine? [10:00] BetaTest: System > Preferences > Screensaver [10:00] any admins here? [10:00] admins? [10:00] arnath: you might try mplayer [10:01] peabody: that link johnguyen sent is obviously spam [10:01] travisat: that gives an error "error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device" [10:01] Thank you voltagex [10:01] How can I set true permissions for my own home folder ? [10:02] ah, gotcha === combinio is now known as combo_ [10:03] arnath: are you sure you installed the codec correctly? [10:03] travisat: i installed the w32codecs [10:03] travisat: and have been happily playing many different video's [10:04] travisat: (mostly with totem) [10:04] arnath: ah well I think the problem is its just an obscure codec [10:04] So I'm trying to create a desktop file for a program I made, autokey.desktop, so the application can show up in the menu. [10:04] Trouble is, no matter what I do about the category section, it always ends up in the "Other" category [10:05] travisat: have any idea what i can do? i thought about loading it into kino and reencoding the audio stream (not sure if kino can do that) [10:05] Nobody here would have any ideas would they? [10:05] travisat: but it's so massive to load an entire movie into kino it seems, after like 10 minutes of loading, it was only at minute 15 [10:05] hi there.. i have following problem: started a week ago.. booting of windows xp not possible because after the bootscreen (win) there is a bluescreen for a split of a second and then the machine restarts.. ubuntu works fine though [10:05] arnath: no sorry I don't know enough about your codec [10:05] travisat: ok, know of a tool that could recode audio streams of a movie? [10:06] nymtar: you'll be better joining ##windows to raise that error [10:06] nymtar: Not sure if anyone here can help you since it seems to be a windows related problem, have you tried booting into recovery mode from the CD? [10:06] arnath: not on linux :( [10:06] hi [10:06] travisat: aw :< [10:06] ikonia, i am there already [10:06] nymtar: great [10:06] arnath: there probably is one, but I only know about the windows side of movie encoding [10:07] travisat: ah, will see if my good pal google can help me out then :P [10:07] arnath: good luck [10:07] peabody, will try this, but i think the problem lies within ubuntu, because the problem from one day to another [10:07] travisat: thanks :) [10:07] nymtar: were you able to boot windows after you installed ubuntu? [10:07] +came ^^ [10:07] nymtar: the problem does not have anything to do with ubuntu [10:07] peabody, yes, countless times [10:08] nymtar: ubuntu cannot effect your windows partition. The most likley think is that your disk partitioning/resizing has caused some corruption on the windows file system that can be fixed using windows techniques [10:08] nymtar: unless you tried to mount your windows partition so you could write to it under ubuntu, ubuntu shouldn't have done anything to your windows partition [10:08] I have problems converting flac to mp3 with SoundConverter, I've tried all modes [10:08] i used ubuntu like 3 days straight without using winxp .. then tried xp -> bluescreen [10:08] nymtar: get the guys in ##windows to help you debug the bluescreen error [10:09] nymtar: Like I said, unless you did something in Ubuntu to try and read your windows partition, it's not Ubuntu's fault. [10:09] hm [10:09] Ubuntu wouldn't do that by default. [10:10] nymtar: you really should try to boot your XP CD and hit the recovery console to see if there's anything you can do. Did you try safe mode? [10:10] ubuntu tries to be a well behaved child. :P [10:10] witch drivers are best for ATI Radeon card??? [10:11] filthpig: flac -d foo.flac, make the wave then use lame to rencode as mp3 [10:11] Bruum: depends on which model radeon [10:11] 1900PRO [10:11] 9100Pro? [10:12] Bruum: If it's a fairly current model, then from my understanding it's good to try the proprietary drivers [10:12] Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3, [10:12] hi I have a problem withe "american's army".

I'm having some problems with installing mythtv on my computer. I have been following the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Backend_Frontend_Desktop mythtv guide and have launched mythtv setup, but upon doing so have encountered "incorrect group membership" window and am confused [10:19] what i must to do ?? [10:19] can anyone helP? [10:19] daya, you will need to explore other options yourself [10:19] What's the command to get ubotu to pm me some info... "!flash > ArthurA" didn't seem to work. [10:19] travisat, sorry I'm not too good with command lines, but I need to copy everything over to a new folder, like from ~/Music/foo to ~/Mp3 Music/foo [10:19] ompaul, hmm, [10:19] michu, try to undo whatever mess envy created and install the driver properly [10:19] It says "You must be a member of the "mythtv" group before starting any mythtv applications. [10:19] Would you like to automatically be added to the group?

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. [10:20] ok i'll try it - thanks [10:21] I'm confused. Is flash broken or not... or is that message saying that the broken packages are now available in the backports. [10:21] ArthurArchnix, I think the factoid is outdated [10:21] Seveas, it says i'm already a member of the group [10:21] i'll try clicking yes [10:22] us, log out and log back in [10:22] that should help [10:22] THeres a deb package i use - in the 2nd factoid. it works for firefox. but not konqueror [10:22] !forget flash-also [10:22] I'll forget that, Seveas [10:22] is there a way that 2 users can share the same home folder? [10:22] zetheroo, no [10:23] zetheroo, what are you really wanting to shre? [10:23] thats not nice [10:23] share. [10:23] hehe [10:23] set the perms. on whtever ya want to let others read/access them [10:24] I want to make a user for Elisa to work in which will not have Compiz enabled by default.... but I don't want to have to copy all my media over to another users home folder [10:24] help http://en.naughtyholiday.com/?id=ccd96c2a9da025e729843fc43b9bfec8 [10:24] Seveas: I can't tell from the links ubotu gives. I'm just gonna try and install from the repos and we'll see I guess. [10:24] zetheroo, just set up the perms to allow access to the files. and link the dirs/files to the other users homedir. [10:25] Dr_willis: how do you change the permissions to make that happen? [10:25] chmod command, [10:25] what mode to use depends on what you want to allow. [10:26] Dr_willis: can I do it graphically with gksudo nautilus? [10:26] zetheroo, no idea. its easier to just use chmod. :) [10:26] zetheroo, yes, but that's scary :) [10:26] you dont need to set your USERS file permissions with sudo [10:26] Seveas: why? [10:26] I dunno the chmod commands [10:27] time to learn them I think. :) [10:27] you could set the permissions on the users files with Nautilus if you want. No need to use the gksudo [10:27] zetheroo, it works with nautilus - but you have to be very careful [10:28] hey im back again im trying to find out how set up http hosting [10:28] with linux i know i need to forward http but what software might we have for this [10:28] un0p: I am gksudo nautilus and I have gone into the properties of the folder I want to share with the other user [10:28] !lamp | family [10:28] family: 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+) [10:29] un0p: what shoudl I change to allow it? [10:29] zetheroo, if your user is setting the permissions for their own files. You do not need to use gksudo. [10:29] thank you seveas [10:29] zetheroo, if Seveas advises something is "scarey" then my advise is "don't" [10:29] zetheroo, also the permissions for all the directories in the path to your shared directory need allow the other users in. [10:29] zetheroo, you'll have to setup a group that you and the other person are members of, and then give that group permissions over that folder [10:29] hey [10:29] ompaul, humbug -- I'm easily scared :) [10:29] have you guys heard of buck angel? [10:30] Seveas, ehhhhhhhhh liar [10:30] groups is another way like un0p said. But i rarely mess with groups for my 2 user systems. :) [10:30] un0p: ok so I need to make a new group [10:30] augustao, this is a support channel, not a social channel [10:30] seveas nope. Flash still busted. [10:30] wut [10:30] ArthurArchnix, k [10:30] zetheroo, firstly yes [10:30] !unforget flash-also [10:30] I suddenly remember flash-also again, Seveas [10:30] Dr_willis: I also have only 2 users [10:31] zetheroo, then chmod ### /home/firstuser/DirsYouWanttoShare to allow the 2nd user full access to them. [10:31] How difficult is it to merge my apt archive with the liveCD? Would like to avoid the massive update download every time I install [10:31] ### will depend on wha tyou want to allow them to do. === Switch^_ is now known as Switch^ [10:31] chazco, your apt archive might not fit onto a live CD eh [10:31] !aptoncd [10:32] 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 [10:32] close as you might get [10:32] zetheroo, full access = 666 for files and 777 for dirs - I belive [10:32] Hmm... aptoncd sounds similar to what i've done so far (memory stick)... I'd hope it might fit on the livecd since most packages are replaced, not duplicated... [10:32] I used the instructions on this website (http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php) to setup VNC so I could access my linux computer with my windows computer. Can anyone forsee any reason that the connection would be so slow over a home network? I get better speeds remote accessing my windows computer over my cable internet connection. [10:32] can someone tell me if there is a way to increase mouse sensitivity beyond that available via the GUI (i.e. is there a multiplier value in my xort.conf file somewhere)? [10:33] un0p: ok I created a group called media and added both users.... [10:33] bjames, check - man xset [10:33] un0p: cheers [10:33] zetheroo, ok, now give media permissions over that folder [10:33] whow. Screen Resolutions.. I shut my computer down yesterday and it was running on 1600x1200 since i set ubuntu up - today, suddenly... 1024x800 is the highest possible (and used) [10:33] chazco: you might look at http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ [10:33] Dr_willis: which user shoudl I be logged into? [10:34] zetheroo, the one who owns the files. [10:34] travisat - Looks interesting... even if i can make a livecd I could possible do an alternate one (GUI isnt too important) [10:35] since the OTHER user cant change the first users permissions. [10:35] chazco: I have no idea, just bored and was on google [10:35] heh :) [10:36] Dr_willis: ok ... well if this group method does not work I will try your method [10:36] Dr_willis, i think he'd need to be root - dont think his $USER can chgrp of another folder [10:36] When installing tvtime it creates .tvtime folders for the normal users but with root as owner and group, should I report that as a bug? [10:36] chazco: the only problem is after a week or so your new cd would be out of date and you would have to update a lot anyway, less then you would, but still a bit [10:36] un0p, hes not messing with the group. just the permissions. [10:37] Dr_willis, if you are following, he seems to be going the group route [10:37] travisat - Even a bit better would do... currently I have to download ~200MB of updates each time... in the UK thats a lot :( [10:37] groups is proberly the more 'secure' of the way of doing this. :) [10:37] but i never use groups this way. so good luck [10:37] chazco: I suggest the aptoncd then you can put all you want on cds and update off of cds once ubuntu is installed [10:37] much easier and probably better too [10:38] Cool Dating Club site ===> new-datingclub.eu [10:38] travisat - Yep, doing similar currently with a USB copy+paste approach (simple, but it works)... was just hoping to eliminate the extra stage [10:38] Dr_willis, in my experience groups work best in these situations - that way either user can have complete access over the directory's contents [10:38] DanHerg, and we care why? [10:38] chazco: well it still beats downloading the stuff if you got a slow net connection [10:39] Its not slow as such... but the UK has (usually) download caps... e.g. 10GB a month [10:39] chazco, get a "real" isp :) [10:39] un0p - Almost all UK ISP's are like that [10:40] chazco, move to a "real" country :p [10:40] :) [10:40] chazco, mine ain't tho -- and if i ever were to subscribe to another's services, i'd ensure i had unlimited access -- 10GB isnt enough a day, let alone a month [10:40] un0p - Country and ISP? [10:41] chazco, uk, virgin media (used to be blueyonder/telewest) [10:41] Ah cable... cable isnt available for most of the UK [10:42] chazco, errm, it's available in most towns and cities -- but even with DSL, plenty of ISPs willing to give you unlimited access [10:42] un0p - It isnt, you'd really be surprised :) And very few DSL subscribers offer anything near unlimited (check out their FUPs as well)... anyway, bit off topic :) [10:43] chazco, if you're willing to look for the ones that have uncapped services, you'll find them easy enough - but yea, this is getting !ot [10:44] : I used the instructions on this website (http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php) to setup VNC so I could access my linux computer with my windows computer.

[10:47] isn't that what putty does? [10:47] I think he/she wants to connect to a Linux machine using RDP [10:47] ffiarpg: you need an X server remote connection [10:47] apparently this does it but I don't think it's finished: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrdp [10:48] ffiarpg, there are quite a few terminal servers for linux -- xrdp, ltsp which should work with windows (how well i dunno) [10:49] heh this could be interesting, I did a make clean && time make -j30 [10:49] will be interesting to see hwo long it takes [10:49] (on my kernel) [10:49] ffiarpg, http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=112022 [10:49] ffiarpg: I've always used tightvnc and never had speed problems (lan) [10:49] hello, can somebody tell me how to mount an iso image using terminal?

[12:41] rootborn, ok, as per your dmesg output ( http://pastebin.ca/874668 ) the wireless card is detected fine but the interface is not brought up, you probably need to enable the wireless interface via the switch/button on your laptop [12:41] shocker: look for something out of the ordinary [12:41] rootborn, it looks like wlan0_rename is your wlan interface here [12:42] un_op, but it is switch on [12:42] and the red light is on cos the right driver isn't there [12:43] un_op, my wth1 is seen as eth0 but it's my wireless card [12:44] *eth1 [12:44] rootborn, strange -- ok, but try this and post output-- echo "auto wlan0_rename" | sudo tee -a /etc/network/interfaces; /etc/init.d/networking restart [12:45] un_op, http://pastebin.ca/874674 [12:45] rootborn, for some reason, iwconfig and iwlist dont seem to think eth0 or eth1 are wireless capable [12:45] The instructions for adding the medibuntu repositories on the Ubuntu Wiki look like they're for Dapper.

[12:50] ubuntu: depends on the card, if it wasn't automagically configured, there's still hope, but you may have to resort to using a piece of software called ndiswrapper [12:51] levander: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [12:51] levander: then, wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [12:51] ubuntu: ndiswrapper allows one to use the windows drivers for the card in Linux.

[13:38] samad909, sure, it's just that I haven't used windows in a year or so and hoped i wouldn't need it anymore [13:39] kliklik: also if you manage to install windows now, you will have to use the livecd to fix grub else you wont be able to boot into ubuntu [13:39] kliklik: if i may ask..what do you need to do in windows? [13:40] samad909, that's fine, I know that, it's just that windows sees only one partition (entire disk) and not the tiny one i've assigned to it [13:40] samad909, just games [13:40] un0p, back [13:40] kliklik: high end games? or ones like czero and stuff?

[13:44] samad909, it's a laptop, no option for second harddrive.. I'll try installing windows through qemu, giving it a partition i've assigned as a single disk. than I'll muck around with the grub and boot.ini and try to make it work native .) [13:45] rootborn, eesh, you should make notes for your reference -- you might need it later [13:45] kliklik: alright best of luck ;) [13:45] rootborn, sudo modprobe iwl3945 [13:45] kliklik: dont forget to make that disk bootable [13:45] rootborn, that installs the module for your wlan interface [13:45] un_op, its fine [13:46] rootborn, check the output of dmesg to see if the card has been loaded - dmesg | tail -n 10 [13:46] un_op, http://pastebin.ca/874777 [13:47] rootborn, if you see it has been loaded - check that the interface is loaded ok - sudo ifconfig -a [13:47] samad909, it's just puzzling that windows sees no partitions. I've used msdos disklabel when creating them and they are all primary [13:47] rootborn, if you see the interface - check if it can scan wireless networks - sudo iwlist scan [13:47] http://pastebin.ca/874778 [13:48] eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. [13:48] wlan0_rename Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [13:48] the same thing .. [13:48] kliklik: maybe try gparted live cd and see what is up, if something is wrong resize and then make another bootable partition and install xp on that [13:48] hallo? [13:48] rootborn, try and bring the interface up - sudo ifup wlan0 [13:49] kliklik: but after you install xp fixing your grub will be your first priority [13:49] sudo ifup wlan0 [13:49] Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. [13:49] samad909, yeah, that's no problem [13:49] is there anyone out there who rights aps for linux? someone who can take a windows ap and make it into a linux ap?

[14:16] lixeh: I read somewhere that it shouldn't exceed 1 GB. I have a lot of files though - over 205 gb music etc [14:17] vidsan: it can grow to more than 1GB, but 32GB sounds silly. 205gb of music is that much really [14:17] ok, i can do the command, but i can't rename via Nautilus.

[14:19] abhi: well, the man page and home page for xbindkeys have decent docs. You can see an example xbdindkeys at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse and modify it appropriately for your mouse. Use 'xev' to figure out the button numbers for the buttons on your mouse [14:19] linxeh: okay, i'll do that [14:19] oops [14:20] i didnt know it was the same server i just connected to [14:20] :S [14:20] jrib: ok [14:20] If you use a webcam on virtualbox (windows XP guest), join the channel #webcam [14:21] Kheops_74: please don't do that [14:21] i love ubuntu [14:21] linxeh: i get 'mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 000000 31360KiB' then on the next line 'mmcblk0: p1' === orgthingy is now known as orgthingy|afk [14:21] my only complaint is my webcam isn't compatible [14:21] otherwise i love it more than my XP [14:21] hi [14:21] !paste [14:21] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[14:22] Kheops_74: because, if it's an ubuntu support issue, resolve it here so that everyone can help and everyone can benefit. If it's a windows issue, use ##windows. If you think it's about virtualbox, try #vbox [14:22] hi all [14:23] linxeh: so clearly something is happening, because that's the right size [14:23] I accidently deleted my ~/Desktop directory and gnome showed me all contents of /home/$USER as Desktop.

[14:56] IndyGunFreak: dreamlinux beta 3 [14:57] :-D [14:57] bazhang: what about it?.. ive got the CD here, but not messed w/ it much [14:57] StrangeCharm I assume the card came from a camera and contains pictures...can you plug the camera itself into the computer and maybe mount the card that way? [14:57] IndyGunFreak: i use to run 32b and this would happen on certain videos, but at least i got most videos to work, now that am 64b none charges. [14:57] dooglus, in /etc/apt/ :) [14:57] dur, lol sorry lol [14:57] err 3 beta sorry [14:57] Seveas: I just installed a feisty chroot. I need the signing key. [14:57] StrangeCharm I would just want to exhaust ALL options before condemning the pictures to obscurity forever [14:57] piercleo: 64bit has its disadvantages in the multimedia issues. [14:57] dooglus, ubuntu-keyring package iirc [14:58] th0r, always useful if the device does not show up to move usb ports ... it works sometimes [14:58] http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ [14:58] bazhang: did you download it? [14:58] th0r: in fact no. it's a small disk that i was being used as a cryptographic token. it contains encryption keys to a defunct server [14:58] how do you send a popup message to another user on the same machine? [14:58] ompaul not usb...an mmc card [14:58] like net send on windows [14:58] bentob0x, install a messenger program for both [14:58] StrangeCharm then maybe the whole card is encrypted? [14:59] I'm looking more like a warning message [14:59] quick popup thing [14:59] IndyGunFreak: yesh [14:59] its not bad. [14:59] Hi all again! Having trackerd-problems. Getting IO error when trying to run. [14:59] Stephen-Mason: you find it? [14:59] agreed [14:59] th0r: well, that would be rather dastardly, i was assuming that it just contained encryption keys in plaintext. but if it's encrypted... [14:59] bentob0x, fortunately ubuntu doesn't do such annoying things :) [14:59] hehe [14:59] geez no1 is answering me in that windows room [15:00] lol [15:00] StrangeCharm just a guess. like I said...I would want to exhaust all options before giving up and reformatting it [15:00] how does root warn users that the machine needs to restart? [15:00] metal maniac mat wat was the room? [15:00] he does not :) [15:00] th0r: actually, you may be right. looking through the mounting files, it looks like one of them mounts something into the directory where the other ones look for their keys. i'd ignored it before. the plot thickens [15:00] Windows [15:00] they'll notice =) [15:00] Metal-Maniac-Mat, this is not a casual chat room, it is strictly for Ubuntu support [15:00] k [15:00] Seveas: right, thanks. "sudo apt-key add /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg" did the trick. [15:00] Stephen-Mason: you may want to try something better than azureus; deluge transmission even utorrent under wine are better imo [15:00] IndyGunFreak: am back had connection pb [15:00] i know ompaul [15:00] StrangeCharm sometimes I get lucky [15:00] i need help [15:01] bentob0x: shutdown -r +5min [15:01] piercle1: ok, gonna try one more thing [15:01] and you sent me there and i got no help [15:01] k thx guys [15:01] www.ubuntu.com metal and then we can talk [15:01] th0r: well, most convenient, considering the mount of work that i have already expent trying to get the data off this thin [15:01] oh too late [15:01] bentob0x: that will send notice to all users that the system is going to restart in five minutes and will actually restart the computer ;) [15:02] blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat [15:02] My wireless bluetoothmouse is very sluggish..why can that be? [15:02] StrangeCharm is there the possibility to take it back to where you were using it and get the keys off it from there? maybe put them in a shared folder...or just copy them to an unencrypted usb drive? [15:02] bentob0x, root can use "wall" to advertise to all users that he's about to do something [15:03] what is the equivalent command for ipconfig? [15:03] ifconfig [15:03] lol kl [15:03] unop, erUSUL: that only works for terminals, not X sessions... [15:03] th0r: that's what it looks like i have to do. mind if i message you the details, they'd clutter the channel a little? [15:03] Stephen-Mason: ifconfig or the "all powerfull and also cryptic" ip [15:03] StrangeCharm not registered...no pm. good luck [15:03] hello [15:04] Seveas, errm, yes, i'm aware :) [15:04] Seveas: i long for the good old VT102 days ;) [15:04] Hallo, I did something to Xubuntu settings that ""xfce4-session"" stopped loading by default. I have to start it manually. How can I make it load automatically. What do I use for that ?????? [15:04] Gpalco, have a chat in #xubuntu they know more about that [15:05] why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ? [15:05] ompaul, I wished they would also be more active as well [15:05] th0r: in a nutshell, then, this is a windows system that looks like it has an array which was encrypted using a program called truecrypt. the data disks were mounted using some batch files. the start of one of them seems to create the fs for the others. however, the key neccessary to decrypt *this* disk is sadly absent :( [15:05] Gpalco, well they are there at times that suit them, just like the gnome heads here [15:05] they should make ubuntu for i686, nobody have i386 anymore [15:06] my nat is firewalled? been having this problem for ages can anyone help? [15:06] kmg: problems on the mirror you are using? [15:06] smallfoot-, the right kernel is loaded after that - you got to understand you start somewhere and move forward from there [15:06] StrangeCharm I am familiar with truecrypt...there is a version for linux as well and the files are interchangable...I used to use it but switched to linux only encfs [15:06] smallfoot-, ubuntu is actually i586 since there still are processors which lack the cmov instruction [15:06] erUSUL: it's like every single one [15:06] Stephen-Mason: nat firwalled does not parse for me. Can you explain it a little more? [15:07] StrangeCharm if you know the passphrase it should be possible to mount the partitions from within linux [15:07] can you run .pl files with sh? [15:07] i keep getting messages like so in my kern.log and syslog: Jan 27 18:55:33 laptop kernel: [ 781.860000] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=vmnet1 SRC=172.16.78.1 DST=172.16.78.255 LEN=258 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=138 DPT=138 LEN=238 [15:07] Switch^, no [15:07] you run them with perl [15:07] Stephen-Mason: www.portforward.com [15:07] thanks Seveas [15:07] l3ttuc3, that's iptables logging packets [15:07] th0r: indeed, i have managed to get it installed on the livecd with which i am performing the recovery. however, it doesn't look like there was a passphrase at all [15:07] @Seveas: bl [15:07] Seveas: al [15:07] i get loads, and loads of them, and every now and then, usually, when im not at my pc, it will lock up, and last time it remounted its root filesystem as readonly. [15:07] ompaul, what wouild you do if "gnome-session" wasn't starting automatically?? Where automatically started progs are listed ??? It should be simmilar in Xfce [15:07] Where are ubuntu binaries kept on the local system after install etc? [15:07] th0r: according to this, there were just a bunch of keys for the various disks [15:07] Seveas i know, but why is is logging those? [15:08] l3ttuc3, because you told it to :) [15:08] l3ttuc3, iptables -L -n [15:08] l3ttuc3: some firewall script/program has enabled it [15:08] ompaul, Out of curiosity, you really felt Metal-Maniac-Mat's concerns warranted a ban? [15:08] Gpalco, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or (and I think xubuntu uses that also) [15:08] ompaul, I think you jumped the gun. [15:08] StrangeCharm right...forgot about that. You can create a keyfile for a volume instead of usng a passphrase...then you have to have that key to get in again. [15:08] Seveas i haven't messed with that. erUSUL i am using firestarter. hmm. [15:08] offtopic phenom [15:08] Seveas, bentob0x, erUSUL - DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --info --text="Computer will shutdown in 5 minutes" && sudo shutdown -r +5m [15:09] l3ttuc3: maybe you can disable packet login in firestarter === orgthingy|afk is now known as orgthingy [15:09] I'll be sure to go right to #defocus [15:09] phenom, please let the ops run this channel. We've done this rather succesful for several years [15:09] ompaul, thank you. that's a great idea. thank you === osxdude|mac is now known as osxdude [15:09] Seveas, erUSUL would that have anything to do with the lock-ups? [15:09] th0r: and it seems that the keys for the volumes were on this disk, but that this disk *itself* was encrypted with another key [15:09] unop, won't work -- mismatching X cookies :) [15:09] i doubt it, but i cant see anything else out of place in the logs. === orgthingy is now known as orgthingy|AFK [15:09] l3ttuc3, neh, that shouldn't cause lockups [15:09] could someone tell me how to copy and paste in the terminal as Ctrl+c & Ctrl +v [15:10] vkong, c and v [15:10] it's shift + insert vkong [15:10] StrangeCharm gotcha...seems the only way is going to be to mount that card in the old way and copy the keyfiles off onto something not encrypted. Sometimes one can be too secure [15:10] for pasting anyway [15:10] where firefox put the files that has been downloded? [15:10] there are multiple clipboards [15:10] Where are ubuntu binaries kept on the local system after install etc? [15:10] Seveas, seems to work from a root shell [15:10] where you told it to [15:10] how long can ubuntu ru without the live cd?? [15:10] alsadk: look into Preferences [15:10] Should we help him in #win? [15:11] Are there more cpu optimized like swiftweasel available? [15:11] th0r: but first i need to find the key that was used to ecrypt *it* [15:11] Seveas there does not appear to be any option inside firestarter's gui to disable logging. [15:11] fragged, /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/games [15:11] Seveas, I mean the .deb binaries, coming from a gentoo background ;) === denny is now known as denny^AFK [15:11] StrangeCharm ouch [15:11] l3ttuc3, I don't know how firestarter works, I always cook my own rules [15:11] where firefox put the temp files? [15:11] fragged, /var/cache/apt/archives [15:11] alsadk, /tmp [15:11] cheers [15:12] th0r: more annoyingly, it seems to be referenced somewhere on the system disk where there *aren't* any directories [15:12] th0r: fail :( [15:12] hi, anyone know why I get 2 mouse pointers when connecting to VirtualBox via VRDP with rdesktop? It shows both the host-OS pointer and the guest-OS === tyro is now known as Tyroazard [15:12] but i can't find them there after download a file [15:12] ? [15:12] err i had problems with irtualbox [15:12] Seveas ok, im assuming if i purge 'firestarter' the rules will still be in place, and this behaviour will still go on, im thinking it's just a frontend for iptables? i also have two interfaces, ath0 and wifi0, both seem to receive and send packets, what's up with that? [15:13] alsadk, it deletes them when you close firefox :) [15:13] ive forwarded my ports but its still messed up, :@ [15:13] l3ttuc3, after a reboot (or iptables -F) the rules should be gone [15:13] StrangeCharm sounds like you are running out of options....sorry [15:13] ath0/wifi0 is atheros' twisted way of doing advanced wifi tricks [15:13] synaptic is telling me that some packages are not authenticated. how can i fix this? [15:13] i've got some trouble to run vmware (libpng12 error) after the update of some packages, i'm under gutsy on amd64 [15:13] th0r: no, i think i may just have missed another system disk in this pile [15:13] Stephen-Mason: not really an ubuntu question; you may want to try transmission which obviates the need for port forwarding [15:14] gurpreet, don't use 3rd party repos :) [15:14] cool, no problem i think ive sorted it [15:14] ma isp are bastards tho [15:14] lol [15:14] okay good [15:14] StrangeCharm sort of like a hunt for buried treasure...with the X [15:14] Seveas: i am not using any third party repos [15:14] StrangeCharm (withOUT the X) [15:14] gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list [15:14] Stephen-Mason, please check the messages from ubotu [15:15] th0r: well, that is why i play this game [15:15] Seveas ok, i'll purge and get rid of the rules. i dunno about twisted tricks, but i keep having a trickle in of packets about 800bytes/sec (gnome system monitor) that i cannot capture with iptraf. and wifi0 does not even come up in iptraf. is that normal behaviour? [15:15] l3ttuc3, yes it is [15:15] StrangeCharm try 'give the parrot to the pirate'....can't hurt [15:15] anyone succeeded in installing Barry (to sync Blackberry with evolution) on Ubuntu gutsy AMD 64 ? [15:15] Seveas ok thanks for your help. [15:15] Hey All, the default network application that usually goes on the top panel... and handles wireless and wired network connection, how Do I get that back? [15:16] l3ttuc3, iirc iptables -F isn't enough, You'll need to reset policies and delete chains [15:16] th0r: unlikely. it seems that there's another disk on here that isn't being mounted, but also isn't part of the array. i may cry [15:16] Seveas how do i do that? [15:16] l3ttuc3, easiest solution is a reboot :) [15:16] i have a jmircon raid matrice already build on lspci i see the hdds on dmraid -r i get dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_bbghcaca", stripe, ok, 312581806 sectors, data@ 0 now the problem is how can i use it [15:17] anyone succeeded in installing Barry (to sync Blackberry with evolution) on Ubuntu gutsy AMD 64 ? [15:17] Hey all [15:18] !fakeraid | baadnewz [15:18] baadnewz: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [15:18] need some help with installing flash player in Firefox [15:18] any one have a website address for a free ubuntu mag ? [15:18] !flashissue | nerous [15:18] nerous: 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. [15:18] ok thanks [15:18] alsadk, fridge.ubuntu.com [15:18] nerous: but its a lot easier to just download the source from adobe.com [15:18] Oh yeah? [15:19] baadnewz: you can use it as a "disk" refering it as /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca ?? [15:19] thank u [15:19] hmm... they've still not fixed flash? [15:19] nerous: i think so.. [15:19] i have downloaded it, i tried to install it and i couldnt [15:19] difference between rtm and tar? [15:19] hello everyone, question: I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy). However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices' I want to use a static IP automatically on start. Any ideas? [15:19] Pity, will need to manually install that then... thought it had worked [15:19] every time i install it thru firefox it tells me its installed, but it doesnt work [15:19] nerous: ok, did you extract the tar file, so the linux_flash_player folder is on your desktop? [15:19] Hmmm. I have an NTFS partition mounted in Ubuntu, and I want to change its permissions (allow read-only for "Others")... chmod and chown don't seem to work. Any ideas? [15:19] nerous: yes, thats because the plugin installer is broken [15:20] nerous: i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 and it worked perfectly [15:20] any one have a website address for a free ubuntu wallpapers with cc license ? [15:20] omfg [15:20] im changing my nick [15:20] RantingHuman I think you have to do that when you mount it...in the fstab options [15:20] !themes | alsadk [15:20] alsadk: 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 [15:20] piercle1: it works, but they make it more complex than it needs to be.., installing the source from adobe.com takes bout 3sec [15:20] 有中国人吗？ [15:20] vkong, english in here please [15:20] !cn | vkong [15:20] doing it now [15:20] vkong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:20] thanks [15:21] erUSUL im a lillte noob how can i find that out [15:21] how do i search a directory including subdirectories? [15:21] Hi all. How do I create a launcher that switches to a directory and then runs a command? Sorry to be such a noob on this...but I just cant seem to get the syntax right. Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod" [15:21] IndyGunFreak: good thing to know for next time i have a similar problem [15:21] I tried to explain that you can install from Adobe, but was told not to tell people to do it that way... there may be a reason, no idea [15:21] baadnewz: is the raid array partitioned or used in any way? [15:21] piercle1: i never got the nba videos to work, strange, the advertisements played perfectly, just not the actual videos. [15:21] Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod" [15:21] erUSUL, yes the raid is used on windows] [15:21] why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ? [15:21] has information already on it [15:21] th0r, alright, could you tell me the exact umask for allowing "Others" access it while allowing rwx for User and Group? [15:21] root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls [15:21] control nvidia_bbghcaca [15:21] Dante123, cd cod; wine cod [15:21] piercle1: videos on MLB, espn, NFL.com, NHL, etc, all work fine, good thing i don't like the NBA>..lol [15:22] Dante123, make it run this: sh -c "cd cod ; wine cod" [15:22] Dante123, please don't repeat; and as DuClare said ;-) [15:22] IndyGunFreak: it's really anoying, it used to work, do you recommend going back to 32bit? [15:22] Seveas, sorry, i am not using any 3rd party repos [15:22] IndyGunFreak, :P [15:22] DuClare do I simply put that command in the area under properties for the launcher to do that? [15:22] erUSUL, and yes is partition 1 partion ntfs [15:22] Seveas: :) [15:22] baadnewz: in linux disks are accessed thrugh a special file under dev in your case the array should be accessibel throug "/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca" [15:22] RantingHuman the mask (assuming e'x'exute as well...would be 774 [15:22] gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list [15:22] Seveas, roger that [15:22] RantingHuman would give read only to the world...but rwx to user and group [15:23] gurpreet, post your /etc/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [15:23] Dante123, Don't know your launhcer, try sh as Seveas said. Do you have to cd? I mean, couldn't you just wine cod/cod.exe? [15:23] baadnewz: check if the file exists... "ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca*" on a terminal [15:23] piercle1: only you can decide that..., i didnt like jumping through the multimedia hoops of 64bit, so i went back to 32bit. [15:23] IndyGunFreak: Seveas why am i not laughing ? :-D [15:23] gurpreet, woops post your /etc/apt/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [15:23] Seveas: what if the program is on a different drive sda2? [15:23] RantingHuman, ntfs (atleast via ntfs-3g) doesnt understand posix ownership and permissions [15:23] baadnewz: without the quotes [15:23] th0r, thanks :) but, isn't umask usually a bit weird, for eg, 777 in umask is 000? [15:23] IndyGunFreak: ok, sounds like the best sollution for me too [15:23] IndyGunFreak: thanks a lot anyway [15:23] erUSUL, root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca* [15:23] brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2008-01-27 17:02 /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca [15:23] np [15:23] Dante123, Doesn't matter whereever the program is as long as you know where it is. Just give the full path. [15:23] Dante123, sh -c "cd /where/its/mounted/cod ; wine cod" [15:24] RantingHuman right...so 774 would be 003...but un0p says ntfs doesn't support permissions [15:24] hi all, my gnome terminal is freezing [15:24] wadafak, apt-get install antifreeze [15:24] whenever I type anything, it doesn't respond to it.. [15:25] th0r, setting mask options to mount is not the same as supporting permissions -- big difference [15:25] I have an OS crisis. I need a decent 3d modeling app that is stable in linux. Something not too advanced. I have been using Google SketchUp, but in Linux it is just way to unstable. I could install WinXP and run it native, but I left MS totally 2 months ago now and soooo do not want to go back, for any reason. Any suggestions for a 3d modeling app, commercial or not? [15:25] erUSUL, now i should mount it ? [15:25] wadafak, did you by any chance hit +S ? [15:25] th0r, un0p, but doesn't ntfs-3g accept permissions if you mount it with umask in fstab? [15:25] baadnewz: there you go the dev file is there... you want to mount it? [15:25] if so, it'll freeze until you hit +Q [15:25] hi all [15:25] Seveas: ctrl + S means?? [15:25] un0p ok....that's how I got intot his...said he needed to set them in fstab instead of chmod [15:25] erUSUL, yes i want to mount it .. with ntfs-3g [15:25] WorkingOnWise, blender is a great one, although I don't get your "not too advanced" point.. [15:25] so i can write files on it [15:25] wadafak: easiest thing to try, would be to try installing another terminal emulator, or reinstalling the one you have. [15:25] Seveas: I am in console now [15:26] Seveas so does this look right: sh -c /media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe [15:26] baadnewz: «sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca» and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org [15:26] WorkingOnWise, If you're serious about modelling, you're better off learning to use a good application properly. [15:26] RantingHuman, yes, but they are only valid for the period of the mount (or as long as the same umask is withstanding) .. the minute that changes, your permissions are lost [15:26] btw, what is causing the "freeze"?? [15:26] Dante123, quotes [15:26] RantingHuman that's what I thought...but i am always willing to entertain the idea I am mistaken. thought I was once...but I was wrong\ [15:26] Dante123, sh -c "/media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe" -- or probably even better: wine /media/sda1/cod/cod.exe [15:26] th0r, he does want mount options (via fstab) .. he cant do a chmod anyway [15:26] wadafak: so can you not get to a GUI? [15:26] I am creating a custom ubuntu alternate cd, how do I update the deb files of the custom alternate cd [15:26] ? [15:26] wadafak, xoff [15:26] un0p yup...that's what I thought [15:27] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53694/ [15:27] did I missIndyGunFreak: I can, but it's just that gnome terminal doesn't work and I dont want to reboot my computer [15:27] erUSUL, and if possible to add it in fstab [15:27] th0r, un0p, that's fine, if it is valid as long as it's mounted.. [15:28] I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy). However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices' I want to use a static IP automatically on start. Any ideas? [15:28] it's something that never happened before [15:28] RantingHuman, umask=774 should suffice [15:28] RantingHuman far as I know it will be [15:28] un0p, not 003? [15:28] btw, what is CTRL + S doing? To unfreeze the virtual terminal? [15:29] wadafak, xon [15:29] errm, wait, i could have mask confused with umask -- let me verify RantingHuman [15:29] wadafak, erm, xoff [15:29] wadafak, ^q does xon [15:29] baadnewz: install ntfs-config and run it as «gksudo ntfs-config» [15:29] wadafak, ctrl+s freezes it, ctrl+q thaws it [15:29] un0p, ok, thanks :) [15:29] Oh I see [15:29] The default network application that appears when you first install ubuntu... how do I get that back? [15:29] Seveas I went with your better version....works. Thanks a million virtual dollars!:-* [15:29] !mag [15:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about mag - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:29] thank you everyone [15:29] !magazine [15:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about magazine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:29] It manage both Wireless and Wired connections' [15:30] erUSUL, ok thx still one problem Disk /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca: 160.0 GB and the raid array has 320 gb [15:30] can any one help me [15:30] ?

[15:30] un0p, th0r :D Thanks a lot! Will try it out now [15:31] RantingHuman might want to set dmaks to 002 so the world can change directories [15:31] RantingHuman if you want to give them read permission to all of it that is [15:31] how to install oracle in the ubuntu???hey,pretty boys?? [15:31] one thing i hate from debian users is their arrogance [15:31] vkong, Doesn't it have an installer? [15:31] th0r, ok [15:32] how do I mount my partition to /windows ? It won't mount [15:32] vkong, ask in oracle support forums -- it's not included with ubuntu since it's non-free [15:32] vkong, Use the installer if you can't find oracle in the repos. [15:32] can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. [15:32] is there a "screensaver" for console?? [15:32] Hey [15:32] Switch^ first check the 'mount' command to see if it is already mounted somewhere else [15:32] Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html [15:33] flash plugin still not working [15:33] game me a few errors [15:33] baadnewz: maybe fdisk is confused becouse is a raid array. have you mounted it? what «df -hs» shows [15:33] i asked for a problem i have whit nvidia drivers and they said like "go to ubuntu, this is to easy for us" [15:33] th0r, what about gid? Does that require to be changed? [15:33] Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html [15:33] nerous: yes the topic tells us so as well [15:33] th0r: it's not mounted; but it can only mount to /media/windows [15:33] well actually, that's not bad [15:33] the topic [15:33] RantingHuman don't think so....you just want to deny write permission, right? [15:33] so nevermind, th0 [15:33] erUSUL, root@b0x:/dev/mapper# df -hs [15:33] df: invalid option -- s [15:33] nerous: flash plugin? [15:34] th0r, right now, Others have no permissions at all, want to allow read-only [15:34] gurpreet, that sources.list is rather broken... [15:34] so, here i am, i ubuntu and hope anybody can helpme whith my problem [15:34] please! [15:34] Switch^ check fstab and see if there is a line in that file for the windows parition. If so, it will force windows to mount to that [15:34] baadnewz: is "df -h" sorry [15:34] oh sorry, i am trying to install the flash player and i was following this troubleshooting page someone gave me [15:34] but it didnt work [15:34] Seveas, why? [15:34] !nvidia | toxrn [15:34] toxrn: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:34] gurpreet, you're missing essential things [15:34] nerous: ubuntu 7.10? [15:35] Seveas, like? [15:35] yeah [15:35] gurpreet, and you're using gutsy-proposed, no cookie [15:35] i know [15:35] erUSUL, is not there the raid array .. only the hdd on which i have install windows and ubuntu [15:35] but [15:35] RantingHuman right...then change dmask to 002 and umask to 003...should give read and 'cd' to everyone, write only to user and group [15:35] the probles [15:35] is [15:35] my computer shuts down after less than 5 mins of use; right before that the fan starts runny like crazy. i checked the system monitor and it didnt indicate that something was using a lot of cpu power. any idea? [15:35] toxrn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:35] problem* [15:35] and backports... [15:35] its xubuntu [15:35] can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. [15:35] !enter | toxrn [15:35] toxrn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:35] Seveas, what is cookie? i am new to ubuntu [15:35] when i restart the pc [15:35] the x cant run [15:35] baadnewz: so you did not mounted it yet have you used ntfs-config ?? [15:35] 7.10 [15:35] th0r, alright... except, there exists no dmask atm... I guess I'll add that [15:36] erUSUL, yes i did run ntfs-config like u've said, and ntfs cofig windows showed up and had 2 checkboxes.. id checked them both then ok [15:36] RantingHuman dmask applies only to directories...fmask only to regular files....umask to everything. I am assuming they are cooperative....so when you set dmask it overrides umask...but you will need to verify that [15:36] nerous: some changes in the adobe flash player or something, I don't have the url with me right now but you can try flashplugin-nonfree [15:36] *ntfs-config window (sorry for typo and bad english) [15:37] baadnewz: can you check if the partition appears on your /etc/fstab? [15:37] it should work [15:37] gurpreet, someone who's new to ubuntu should stick to official repos. Not backports and definitely not -proposed === hmpf|away is now known as hmpf [15:37] RantingHuman the world will need execute permission to change directories [15:37] th0r, ohh... alright, will see what it does.. thanks :) [15:37] th0r, oh! [15:37] RantingHuman can't 'cd' without 'x'....go figure [15:37] erUSUL, no there is not in fstab .. only lines i have are for the nonraid hdd [15:37] Seveas, but i am not new to linux. [15:37] i found something [15:38] ill let you guys know [15:38] th0r, so, umask 002 ? [15:38] Seveas, selecting proposed and backports shouldn't break my sources.list [15:38] anyone knows why my box would decide to shut down within 5 minutes? [15:38] gurpreet, but it will at some point break your system [15:38] erUSUL, can u wait for 5 mins i must reboot i think i may know where the problem is [15:38] mynyml, did you test the shutdown +5 command someone mentioned? :) [15:39] th0r, er, no, umask 002 might cause problems; 'll try dmask 002 and umask 003 [15:39] mynyml, sudo shutdown -c should cancel that [15:39] RantingHuman exactly [15:39] Seveas, ok i will not use backports and proposed. will this correct my souces.list or is there some other prob too? [15:39] does anyone know of a decent gui frontend to iptables? [15:39] <_moro_bana_> jack_Sparrow [15:39] gurpreet, the installer commented out lots of entries, the in.archive mirror may be broken, try another one [15:40] Seveas: nah i didnt test anything. its been doing this since yesterday night [15:40] Seveas, yes, many entries are commented out, i was also wondering abt it [15:40] l3ttuc3, I think firestarter might be. [15:40] can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. [15:40] ubuntu comes with shoreline firewall, but that's terribly complicated too :(. [15:40] emma i was just having some problems with firestarter, and purged it. [15:40] !firestarter [15:40] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:40] Seveas, this seems to be much more lines then used to be in source.list of etch [15:40] Seveas: i'm in recovery mode right now, and its fine so i guess the hardware is fine. [15:41] firestarter isn't what I call decent :) [15:41] Problems with Firestarter? Blasphemy. :) [15:41] l3ttuc3, maybe guarddog is, I never used it though [15:41] emma uh, i purged firestarter. [15:41] Really Seveas? [15:41] gurpreet, because of all the commented out stuff :) [15:41] I've had no problem with it, I think it is great for adding rules. :| [15:41] hello! [15:41] Seveas indeed, i wasn't quite happy with it. aren't there anything else? i've been out of the linux loop for too long (hiatus of about 8 years). sorry if my questions are a bit annoying. [15:41] phenom, yeah, it tries to be too smart and adds too much crap to the rules [15:42] Seveas, may be because this time i selected india mirror [15:42] l3ttuc3, I use iptables from the command line, works best :) [15:42] phenom how would u turn off logging with that? [15:42] gurpreet, india mirror sux, use europe ones [15:42] l3ttuc3, but I do have the iptables quick reference (small booklet) nearby at all times ;) [15:42] I have question: where should I raport bug in software Firefox v3 beta? [15:42] Seveas, changing sources.list using 'Software Sources'. i will show it to u in sometime [15:42] Seveas it's got a level of complexity im not in a position to get into at present unfortunately. [15:43] MirJA, i didnt knew abt it?but y? [15:43] l3ttuc3, what kind of rules do you need, basic stuff is quickly explained [15:43] Seveas hmm... i'd rather start with something a little simpler. besides, if i had the time, i'd probably go raw, like you. i dont. [15:43] gurpreet, i have no answer to why but unfortunately they do === R00p3r7 is now known as Roopert [15:43] l3ttuc3: firehol is easy enough unfortunetly has been broken on ubuntu for ages (there is a fixed package in updates or proposed iirc) that's what i use [15:44] MirJA, because they are slow? or not up to date? [15:44] Seveas well, basically, i want to enable things like port 80, irc, msn/jabber/yahoo. i also want to be able to drop incoming packets from sites such as pagead.google.com. [15:44] l3ttuc3, by default all ports are open, so you don't need to enable things [15:44] l3ttuc3, you may find something here -- http://www.roseindia.net/linux/linux-firewall-gui.shtml [15:44] erUSUL hmm. need kinda something stable. already had issues with one, don't want problems with another firewall frontend. [15:44] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53703/ [15:44] l3ttuc3, I don't know, I don't leave it running, I had set firestarter to my rc.conf So that Firestarters rules stick at boot. [15:44] emma thanks, will look that up. [15:45] gurpreet, i guess its because they are slow [15:45] for dropping packets from a certain IP: iptables -A INPUT -s ip.address.here -j DROP [15:45] th0r, un0p : Works like a charm :D Thank you! [15:45] My opinion is that firestarter is more than decent however. [15:45] Simply disabling ports doesn't do a thing. It's the traffic that can be malicious, not a port... And any traffic may go through any port. [15:45] RantingHuman great...glad to help [15:45] MirJA, choosing best server [15:45] gurpreet, just choose mirror outside of asia (except china mirrors) and your problem may be solved [15:46] Seveas so i need to find out how to selectively close things down. i suspect i need a rule to disable all traffic, then one by one enable essentials. that was what i was saying was going to be tedious heh. [15:46] on a command line, that is. [15:46] i'll be back [15:46] taiwans are fast gurpreet [15:46] MirJA, there is an option to 'choose best server' using that [15:46] baadnewz: you have to use /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 note the final 1 as the partition identifier /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca means the whole disk and we mount partitions no whole disks [15:46] l3ttuc3, you can change the policy to drop things and selectively allow [15:46] is there a divx web player for ubuntu? [15:46] l3ttuc3, hang on a bit and I'll pastebin you a simple ruleset for this [15:46] hello [15:46] Because if you all didn't know, unless Firestarter is "running" at boot, or Firestarter is properly set up in rc.conf, then your set FS rules are not active at boot. [15:47] erUSUL, ok .. undersrood (kinda of) .. what do i have to do next? [15:47] hi thomas [15:47] bazhang, but that may be because you may be near to taiwan. won't work same for me [15:47] l3ttuc3, Add a default rule to drop all traffic. [15:47] l3ttuc3, Then start adding expections for the traffic you want to allow. [15:47] Seveas: you should roll your own seveasfw_0.1-ubuntu.deb XD [15:47] baadnewz: have you mounted it manually? [15:47] ubuntu chose UK server for me [15:47] how to install javav6 from terminal? [15:47] l3ttuc3, You'd want to allow all outgoing traffic and packets related to already established connections. [15:47] Stephen-Mason, I would check out VLC but I'm not sure. [15:47] !java > thomas [15:48] l3ttuc3, Then punch in the holes to allow incoming traffic for servers if you run any. [15:48] !VLC > Stephen-Mason [15:48] erUSUL, nop i dont manage to mount it .. i dont know how to do that (sorry im new in linux world) [15:48] there is this guy in my corridor who uses his macbook to create a wireless network to which we can connect. Can I do the same with my laptop? I am using gutsy [15:48] hi i`ve got a question, where are the programm files and directorys saved from programms like eclipse? [15:48] baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca /media/raid/ [15:48] baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/ [15:48] should work [15:48] vlc will player stage 6 movies? [15:49] baadnewz: just to make a test later we can edit /etc/fstab to make it permanent [15:49] totherabc, It depends, many programs have data in /usr/share [15:49] hallo [15:49] Guys let me ask, do you have to reset your iptables rules at every boot, or do you set them in rc.conf as well? [15:49] sorry. got disconnected. [15:49] erUSUL, root@b0x:/home/baadnewz# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/ [15:49] Failed to access '/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1': No such file or directory [15:49] Seveas didn't see anything after you said pastebin, sorry. [15:49] Stephen-Mason: i use mozilla-mplayer [15:50] lettuc3, I'm still working on it, hang on a bit more :) [15:50] DuClare: isnt there a standart directory? i cant find my eclipse dir. [15:50] ah ok, no problems. [15:50] totherabc, Just what are you exactly looking for in that dir? [15:50] baadnewz: run "sudo dmraid -r" and try again [15:50] totherabc, Most of the time you shouldn't need to touch the files in those dirs.. [15:51] Seveas, please have a look at http://rafb.net/p/klBZHV52.html. i have changed sources.list [15:51] totherabc, But did you check /usr/share/ ? Sometimes you can find things in /opt too, but that's pretty funny. [15:51] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53705/ [15:52] lettuc3, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53704/ should give you a good starting point [15:52] DuClare, I checked /usr/share ; i wanna install the plugin VEP [15:52] thanks. i'll have a look. [15:52] totherabc, use 'find / -iname eclipse' [15:52] Seveas, thanks, i'll have a look. [15:52] totherabc, You could try locate. [15:52] baadnewz: sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca ?? [15:53] totherabc, Do you need to install it in a system-wide location? You could maybe just install it for your user... [15:53] damn that looks a little complicated. [15:53] DuClare, only for one use ive got just a one user system [15:53] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53707/ [15:53] Stephen-Mason, check this out -- http://bembelbee.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/watching-stage6-video-streams-without-divx-web-player-plugin-with-firefox/ [15:54] totherabc, Then install it in your home ... Doesn't the eclipse plugin manager thing find it? === valles is now known as keffie_jayx [15:54] i want to hide a bittorrent server in the internet, how can i do that best, if a set up a box mannually? [15:55] kna, What do you mean by hiding? [15:55] "Hiding a tracker" [15:55] :P [15:55] baadnewz: so; why doesn't the dev file get created? ... [15:55] phenom, Wasn't it a bittorrent server! [15:55] gurpreet, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53708/ [15:55] how can i do it best? i dont know anything ... what are the steps after i have registered a domain? [15:56] erUSUL, i dont know .. [15:56] kna, What are you hiding / hiding from what? [15:56] DuClare, I loaded it from the eclipse site directly [15:56] totherabc, I'd usually try the installer inside eclipse before doing things manually. [15:56] baadnewz: the partition is there the dev file should have been created.... dunno why not is the case... [15:56] kna -- You will want to find some one to host your website. You might have the same people you registered the domain host it, or you might shop around. [15:56] DuClare, ok then I try to find the PlugIn manager [15:57] totherabc, Not sure if it was in the help menu ... In 3.2 ^^ [15:57] erUSUL, ok , any ideas what is left for me to do ? [15:58] Seveas: do you have any experience with dmraid ?? baadnewz partition nodes are not getting created ... [15:58] kna, Freenet and tor are great places for hiding things. [15:58] kna, "places" if you can call them that [15:58] What does he mean by 'hiding' ? [15:58] This is a bad time to think of starting a torrent server. [15:58] kna, But you never said what is this "bittorrent server" [15:58] erUSUL, none whatsoever [15:59] i want to give people a site where they can find bittorrent downloads .. [15:59] im looking for help on softraid, im using the howto [15:59] kna that sounds questionable; this is not the best place to discuss that [15:59] and i code a "move to next server" application, to forward my db and all the shit if i get caught [15:59] erUSUL, ok so i must digg more for dmraid ? [15:59] i get an error on sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/via_hfciifae becuase i dont have /mapper via livecd [15:59] So you want to be like piratebay.

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [15:59] kna, If people can find that site, it's not hidden; if you want to hide you don't show it. But tor would be pretty good at keeping the source host anonymized.

Or do I need to convert it with a .vdi file? [16:00] DiceyDaysx: no [16:00] DuClare, thx I found now the dirs in /usr/lib [16:00] kna, And btw, it's not a "bittorrent server" if it's just a web server serving out torrent files :p [16:00] baadnewz: sorry for not being of much help [16:00] bazhang- So I need to convert it? [16:00] erUSUL, dont worry i apreciate everything you did for me i will keep looking for answers , thanks [16:00] Seveas, checked mine with yours, expect difference of servers rest all is same [16:00] DiceyDaysx: you need to start from scratch [16:00] Seveas, thanks [16:01] kna, Anyway, tor and deep web are the answers. Deep web basically means information which won't get indexed because it has limited access. [16:01] bazhang- Because I am using this guide ( http://tinyurl.com/2v524g ) and I can't download the vdi tool correctly [16:01] ok [16:02] well ii thought i have to highjack my own dns entrys or what .. to get the webserver allways alive [16:02] how can i install flash for firefox? is it in repos?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:06] emma: thats pretty bad advice [16:06] okay. sam, don't do sudo su [16:07] ok [16:07] how do I access the root folder via terminal [16:07] cd / [16:07] instead of sam@laptop [16:07] sam__: open a terminal, gksudo nautilus [16:07] IndyGunFreak, that's also pretty bad advice :) [16:07] sam__, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:07] well, it could be way worse..lol, he asked how to get int he root folder, i told him. [16:07] you harldy ever need to do file manipulation as root [16:08] (if at all) [16:08] Seveas: this is true. [16:08] I have had to do it in order to change permissions. [16:08] I need to configure my network devices [16:09] you should usually be able to do that from commandline [16:09] emma, you were probably thinking the wrong way -- you shouldn't have to change permissions anywhere :) [16:09] my computer knows the devices are there but wont configure them [16:09] as in, won't use them [16:09] (gnome-session-properties:16565): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: [16:09] Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

You might have the change permissions when you copy it over into the new home folder. [16:10] why the kick? [16:10] !paste | monstrfolk [16:10] emma, if the UID's are the same that's not needed :) [16:10] ciao [16:10] emma, but yeah, that's a good one [16:10] monstrfolk: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[16:11] i have windows at 8gb partion [16:11] monstrfolk: pastebin it, looks like it got cut off when you got kicked. [16:11] and 4 gb is free [16:12] Basem -- My homefolder is 24.9 GB so you will probably get it working but feel cramped pretty soon.

[16:15] yes [16:16] sam go to system setings --users and groups. from the main menu in xubuntu anyhow -- click on user root --go to properties --set the password by hand. then type su at terminal with the root password you set.

[16:26] ownge [16:26] sorry, wrong window :P [16:26] millllmannnn isn't that a clientside problem? [16:26] IndyGunFreak a terminal window comes up for a brief second then closes.....doesn't seem to be working. Anyway to keep terminal window open? Is the app really running? [16:26] monstrfolk: w/ AMDs purchase of ATI though, and the fact they are going to release the driver to the open source community, ATI will probably surpass Nvidia in the near future [16:26] i used loopback fo a datastream the other day for the first time yeserday! I was SO geekd WWWEEEEEeeeeee [16:26] listen, the missing keyboard problem is urgent [16:26] Dante124: hmm, when i run an app in terminal like that, the terminal does stay open [16:26] Indy....I really hope so [16:26] sam__, I see 2 wireless network cards, is that correct? [16:26] I'm even lucky to have IRC right now [16:27] freakingme: i dont believe so... i have read that its because ubuntu doesnt have a native guest account, but ive tried creating a passwordless guest account and it still doesnt work [16:27] seveas - should be i have a built in one and an external one, neither make anything show up [16:28] sam__, the external one is having a driver problem. The internal one not, but its radio may be switched off, do you have a wireless-kill-switch? [16:28] Dante124: change your terminal profile so that the terminal stays open when the command exits [16:28] seveas, yes, its now turned on [16:28] how do i do that? [16:28] sam__, also run this command and pastebin the output: sudo iwlist scan [16:28] Dante124: i just done it again, to make sure.. but my terminal stays open [16:28] guys i read the sites but it didnt help me [16:28] DRebellion how do I change terminal profile [16:29] when I open a terminal and issue the command it works. [16:29] Dante124: open the terminal app. right-click on the window and select "edit current profile" [16:29] u can just do "iwconfig[options]... down" im pretty sure [16:29] But when i run the launcher it opens for a sec then disappears === user__ is now known as IamRek === IamRek is now known as IamReck [16:29] seveas http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53718/ [16:29] and that should turn your lights on your wifi device off if it has lights for that [16:30] !rhythmbox [16:30] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

Anyone know what's going on here? [16:30] you should practice with an external card-slot based PCMCIA (?) card so you have the LED lights on the outside vsible onn a laptop when setting up WiFi with linux [16:31] Can anyone tell me which package to install to show the "printers" in gnome-desktop (I'm trying to do a minimal install) [16:31] Dante124: go to applications > accessories > terminal. right-click on the terminal that opens up and select "edit current profile". set the behaviour to not close when a command exits. [16:31] roddersg, system-config-printer [16:31] so its good sounds like u have that kind sam [16:31] seveas says the first 3 the same, and then wlan0 Interface does not support scanning: Network is down [16:31] sam__, and eth1 is gone missing? [16:31] Hi Seveas - I thought that was for fedora only, let me try [16:32] seveas yes indeed [16:32] when you installed ubuntu was the card In Place? [16:32] BTW do I need to install lpr/lpd or can I just live with cups === orgthingy|AFK is now known as Orgthingy|busy [16:32] sam__, ok, so the *internal* one is having an issue and the external is ok [16:32] hav u tried putting in the card, and then reboot from a CD sand see if the LiveCD can bring it up? [16:32] you could then chek what IS running at that time [16:32] sam__, could you pastebin the /etc/network/interfaces file? [16:32] seveas, I don't understand [16:33] O [16:33] sam__, there's a file on your system called /etc/network/interfaces -- put its contents on the pastebin [16:33] DRebellion okay I set the default terminal profile and told it to hold it open.

[16:34] Dennis_: just ask your question ;) [16:34] I mean. I see nothing on the screen. like the command didn't run. [16:34] I've had the problem before [16:34] Seveas > the internal one is th Atheros based chipset? my atheros is pcmcia based i think [16:34] Dante124: maybe it only ran cd [16:34] Usually, I see it start the sever up and messages appear (like when someone logs in etc.) [16:35] seveas http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53721/ [16:35] ilikebuntu000, it's probably minipci, i've had one of those as well [16:35] I'll try again [16:35] sam__, ah you're doing manual config -- you shouldn't do that, just use network-manager [16:35] I'd like to know if there is another channel corresponding Xen under Ubuntu. Does anybody know? [16:36] Dante124: try deleting the space before the semicolon in your command [16:36] seveas network manager doesn't show up anything at all [16:36] sam__, if you remove all the manual configuration from that file, leave the external wifi dongle unplugged and reboot, network-manager should pick up the internal one and work with it [16:36] Dante124: or put it in a script and run the script with the launcher [16:36] sam__, n-m doesn't show anything *because* you made manual changes [16:36] seveas which bits should I delete [16:37] heh, Nice, yes try get his Atheros running with madwifi. [16:37] sam__, all the bits that start with wpa, just put a # in front [16:37] Dennis_: there is an url you can go to on ubuntu.com that might have your information your looking for [16:37] !xen > Dennis_ [16:37] seveas no file write permissions [16:38] sam__, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [16:38] that opens the editor as root === Orgthingy|busy is now known as orgthingy [16:38] Seveas: sam__: NO! its - gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [16:38] how can i verify my kernel ver?

[17:03] oops, I meant eth0:avahi [17:03] sam__, try 'sudo iwlist scan' again -- if it says wlan0 is not up: sudo ifup wlan0 (then wait 10 seconds) sudo iwlist scan [17:03] i already have ubuntu and works perfectly fine but i want to try kubuntu, is there any way that i dont delete ubuntu and install kubuntu as well [17:03] kestir: did you say it was only the front ones working? [17:03] Seveas, does ubuntu take backups automatically or is this something i was to do manually?

But if I create a script or launcher the command does not work. There is a default terminal profile and I created a second one called "Keep Open" if I use the default...then it terminal appears for a sec and disappears....If i use keep open....terminal opens but is empty blank and you can't type in it [17:04] Seveas, thanks [17:04] DRebellion: okie then whats gonna happen with ubuntu ? and how will i able to acess kubuntu or ubuntu ?

[17:05] seavea: install lpr and foomatic allowed me to bring up a printer menu [17:05] seveas, no not at all [17:05] DRebellion: any idea how much space its gonna take? [17:06] rinaldi_: 'SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack' was checked...unchecking it engulfed me in lovely surround sound [17:06] protcront: nope sorry, if you run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it will tell you the size and ask ifyou want to install. [17:06] sam__, and if you rightclick on the network-manager applet, is wireless enabled? [17:06] DRebellion: Does it gonna effect any ubuntu files which already installed ! [17:06] kestir: oh cool, where was that checkbox? [17:06] seveas, yes indeed [17:06] Elllo [17:06] sam__, strangeness [17:06] protcront: you are still running ubuntu. you will have both gnome and kde. [17:07] sam__, does the dmesg command give you errors about atheros? [17:07] rinaldi_: just down at the bottom... [17:07] Hey- is there a way from within a USB-Flash-Drive installation of Ubuntu, that you could have Two GRUB menu entries- One for compizfusion boot with the full 9 yards, and another GRUB selection for just Normal, X-Server session with, say, just UniversalVGA X session???? [17:07] protcront: the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is that kubuntu uses kde and ubuntu uses gnome. [17:07] DRebellion: if I open a terminal and issue the command it works fine. But if I create a script or launcher the command does not work. There is a default terminal profile and I created a second one called "Keep Open" if I use the default...then it terminal appears for a sec and disappears....If i use keep open....terminal opens but is empty blank and you can't type in it [17:07] HardDisk: root@kubuntu:/home/internet# modprobe -r ehci_hcd [17:07] root@kubuntu:/home/internet# [17:07] seveas, when i try ifup it says ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 [17:07] DRebellion: so basically no-point of installing it exactlly the same features !

[17:11] seveas darn. no-one else I've spoken to has had half as much of an idea as you :( [17:11] i feel that the sound quality is poorer in ubuntu than xp, i wonder if it's all in my mind [17:11] vinolencia: 404 is "page not found". its not a client problem. [17:11] DRebellion: any prefered language @ ? [17:12] yeah; im running vlc on a server comp and xsing it from a laptop [17:12] sam__, sorry, you'll have to wait a bot [17:12] bit* [17:12] protcront: english, why? [17:12] and the 404 arrived without any substantive changes done to the system [17:12] DRebellion: Could there be something I need to check or uncheck under the Default terminal profile? [17:13] DRebellion: no no in programming! @ ? [17:13] Dante124: i doubt it [17:13] tried resettng prefs/cache and all, but still no luck, was wondering if someone had similar problems [17:13] protcront: C ;) [17:13] DRebellion: ah damn systems? [17:13] protcront: ??? [17:13] Right now...under command...the only thing ticked is Update login records when command is lauched (Run command as login shell is unticked) [17:14] DRebellion: nothing just worked bit on system level so reminded me of that! [17:14] DRebellion also default has when command exits: exit the terminal [17:15] Dante124: i don't see how that would affect it, sorry. [17:15] is it natural for iptables -L to list entries about one each a second? [17:16] hmmm...well thanks for trying. I got the command to start call of duty under wine to work fine...but I guess I will just have to type in command from terminal each time to start server. Was trying to make it easier for my kids === orgthingy|AFK is now known as orgthingy [17:16] DRebellion: What about run command as a login shell...would that help?

I type codserverscript from open terminal and it works....so while the launcher doesn't....we have saved the kiddies a few bit of typing. Thanks for the help.

[17:38] what do you do when nautilus wont open [17:38] Hello, About Forecast 0.9.6 extension, Something on Ubuntu 7.10, Firefox 2.0.0.11 is breaking the tooltip customization, none of the options such as [t], [tmp][nl]Wind [windt], [winds], etc are available. [17:38] Any ideas? [17:38] quaal: first thing I do is alt-f2 killall nautilus [17:39] It works, if I install firefox directly from mozilla.com === Fink is now known as iRRVi [17:39] nickrud, i already killed them all [17:39] dephora 3836 1.0 1.5 109080 15576 ?

Kill it and re-run nautilus. [17:40] it says rerun this program as a super useR? [17:40] quaal: sure is [17:40] jw, I use amarok [17:40] nickrud, this is windows shit [17:40] quaal: no, no reboot [17:41] quaal: although I agree it's a matter of degree [17:41] how do i enable super user? [17:41] Stephen-Mason, google sudo [17:41] Stephen-Mason: use sudo to get super user [17:41] !sudo [17:41] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[17:41] !sudo | Stephen-Mason [17:41] Stephen-Mason: please see above [17:41] Stephen-Mason, sudo [17:41] WorkingOnWise, Ah, I'm sorry then, blender is the only modelling application I'm familiar with it and I don't know google sketchup.

[17:50] when I connect them and do "lsusb" [17:50] apt-get tells me that there are packages that packages "were automatically installed and are no longer required"... does this mean that there are no other packages that are dependent upon any of those listed? [17:50] it complains about a "device description read error" [17:50] any hints? [17:50] god help me lol [17:51] jengle: it means exactly that there are no packages depending on the ones listed [17:51] nickrud: is there a way to remove them all in one command? [17:52] how do i get linux to process the hosts file again? [17:52] jengle: sudo apt-get autoremove [17:52] lettuc3, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart /i believe will do the trick.

[17:55] RequinB5: right click on the terminal item in the Applications menu [17:55] RequinB5: right-click on panel > add to panel > application launcher [17:55] just drag it from the applications menu to the desktop [17:56] requinb5 [17:56] eid: useradd as root [17:56] RequinB5: apps->accesories->terminal, right click then add to panel [17:56] eid: n/m misread your question [17:57] I wonder if someone can help me...for some unknown reason XChat-gnome has just upped and disappeared from the 'Internet' menu...it's still installed, but it's not there....I've even been into Menu editor, but it's not listed there either?

[17:59] tinman: system - administration - system moniter is what you need i think [17:59] smultron , i want to keep my processes while i'm signing out of the PC , so i want to switch to another user from the terminal, i'm using a ssh to access the server ? [17:59] nickrud: okey, thanks you, but what I ment was i wanted to know about the process as in what exactly each one is doing [17:59] eid: you can use the "session" comman [17:59] vmware player could not be installed on my computer [17:59] tinman: you would have to look at the list, then investigate each process to understand what it does [17:59] erm, i just installed xubuntu-desktop with apt-get. i want to remove it but when i do sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop, it only removes xubuntu-desktop and not the other 200MB worth of stuff that came with it !? [18:00] Stephen-Mason, Trust me,, go for "server". It is a lot more "mindless" to configure. [18:00] nickrud: ahh, okey, that was what i was about to do but thought there might be 1 place i could go to [18:00] thanks though :) [18:00] folks... is there a MSN Messenger client I can use with ubuntu that will give me file xfer capabilities?? [18:00] smultron , session command is not found ?!!! [18:01] tinman: nah, there's no single place describing what each process is about. man is a place to start [18:01] eid: sorry, that's the 'screen' comman [18:01] eid: info on how to use it here: http://debaday.debian.net/2007/02/14/screen-a-console-base-window-manager-on-steroids/ [18:01] nickrud: sirsir 0/ :) [18:01] yessir* [18:01] Stephen-Mason, Especially if you intend on running multiple vm's which I know you will. :) [18:02] tinman: and each package a process comes in ( dpkg - S /path/to/processname will tell you the package name) has some docs, better or worse, at /usr/share/doc/ [18:02] did totem's codec installer was taken out' [18:02] ? [18:03] phenom - i dont have that script. [18:04] I'm running STEAM through Wine and I was wondering if it was me or steam or what, but does anyone know why install has been so slow? I'm downloading all my games via Steam and I'm litterally getting like 14kb/s as a top speed. [18:04] maybe steam servers are slow? [18:04] Hmmmm i ned make a geteway pc to wlanhospot [18:04] ? [18:04] change ports? [18:04] can evry one help [18:04] DRebellion: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [18:05] lettuc3, It appears Ubuntu does not ship with the nscd daemon. :| In the lit I have read, you may have to install it. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html [18:05] nickrud: thanks [18:05] phenom it has to parse the hosts file somehow. something has to do that :( [18:07] DarK_MaN1-> what is the problem? [18:07] lettuc3, I would think :/ although, nscd is installed on Etch. I'm not quite sure if there is another way to be honest. But that is the recommended way to do it on Ubuntu and linux in general. [18:07] phenom if it aint running the cache, changes should be reflected live? does it even parse the file? [18:08] y wont my amorak put music on my iPod? [18:08] i want make internet sharing pc o wlanhotspot [18:08] http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249 [18:08] dont work [18:08] >:S [18:08] damn. [18:08] lettuc3: try clearing your firefox cache [18:08] Hot girl and sexy sixteen at http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249 [18:08] nickrud i don't use firefox, i use opera. but i get your point. lemme try that. [18:08] is ubuntu has some online mirror like centos ? [18:09] lettuc3: not saying that will work, but /etc/hosts seems to be processed immediately. I had a missing localhost ref once and when I added it it was recognized immediately [18:09] http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249 [18:09] http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249 [18:09] lettuc3, You may not have to flush it "in theory". For hossts mods to take effect. I may be wrong. [18:09] p [18:09] http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/picture.php3?pic=89249 [18:09] Lemme see [18:09] * Apok met une grooosse baffe à _dreams_ ! [18:09] DarK_MaN1-> can please type the whole word so I can comprehend you? dont use shortcuts [18:09] phenom what you were saying was like i thought applicable for when the names are cached. that's what the service is for, so im assuming the changes have to be live, when it's not there. [18:10] hello? why wont my amarok sync with my iPod? [18:10] but it does not seem like it's getting parsed. [18:10] Hi all, Is it possible to chcange CPU voltage in Ubuntu ?? I know how to change frequency but no idea how to change voltage... [18:10] i've got www.yahoo.com in hosts.deny, and its ip. [18:10] yeah [18:10] i need some one to one help with installing vmware, it says theres a previous version there, and i dont know how to delete it if you have the time can you im me and help? [18:11] just wondering could someone give me some help mounting my second hard drive? [18:11] vmware usually install an uninstaller [18:11] phenom from what i remember of debian sarge, editing hosts/hosts.deny used to be reflected immediately. [18:11] lettuc3, the changes are immediate.. [18:11] yer, but im a windows user just moved to linux so i dont know what im foing? [18:12] osotogari: just ask your question and i'm sure someone will help [18:12] I added a line "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" , and my page pops up when I go to google. :) [18:12] Stephen-Mason-> look for a file called vmware-uninstall.pl [18:12] phenom how come i'm seeing none of it here? [18:12] lgolebio: How did you change frequency? [18:12] i want to make an installable backup of Ubuntu partition ? [18:12] lettuc3: are you running a web server on your machine listening on 127.0.0.1 [18:13] !backup | eid (several methods shown here) [18:13] Try to add "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" to hosts, and visit google. [18:13] eid (several methods shown here): There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:13] phenom still no luck. ikonia no web servers. [18:13] cant find it? [18:13] lettuc3: thats why it won't work [18:13] lettuc3: if you want to do 127.0.0.1 you have to have a webserver running on localhost [18:13] can anyone tell me where I can find the root folder of xchat-gnome? [18:14] why would opera just go way like poof its gon at randem times ? [18:14] mikebeecham: what do you mean the root folder ? [18:14] ikonia if i don't have a webserver running, shouldn't the browser return with an error rather than point me to www.yahoo.com? [18:14] Mr0bvious: http://technowizah.com/2007/01/debian-how-to-cpu-frequency-management.html [18:14] mikebeecham: the actual binary is in /usr/bin [18:14] lettuc3: really, thats odd [18:14] upon installing i mounted my second hard drive to /media, since then I have changed my fstab to mount the second HD to /mnt/data. However when I look in this directory I see the following directories cdrom, cdrom0, lost & found and data. Why is this? My second HD doesn't show up in the "Computer" tab in the Places menu. I'm pretty stumped here. [18:14] ikonia: xchat has disappeared from my menu, despite still being installed (see, I'm using it!!!) I was going to add it back into the menu manually [18:14] i've got 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com in hosts and got www.yahoo.com in hosts.deny. [18:14] Stephen-Mason-> I looked and vmware-uninstall.pl is linked to vmware-install.pl effectively they are one and the same [18:14] lgolebio: Thanks. [18:14] and neither are getting parsed. because www.yahoo.com shows fine. [18:14] lgolebio: And It's an O not zero on the name. [18:15] sorry [18:15] clearing browser cache, quiting browser does not seem to help. [18:15] osotogari: do you see your data at /mnt/data ? [18:15] so whta does that mean? [18:15] !ubotu [18:15] 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 [18:15] why would opera just go way like poof its gon at randem times ? [18:15] Stephen-Mason-> same file with two different names [18:15] ok, now, for some reason, it's working as expected. [18:15] @nickrud: The drive is empty I formatted it upon install [18:15] i haven't done anything new or changed anything. [18:16] osotogari: you should see lost+found if you formatted it as ext3 [18:16] would it be in with the insilation files or will it be were the files were installed? [18:16] ikonia: cheers mate...that worked [18:16] @ nickrud: Yup, i formatted it as ext3 [18:16] next one will be to get my mic working in ubuntu ikonia, but I know thats a VERY steep hill to climb :D [18:16] !who | Stephen-Mason [18:16] Stephen-Mason: 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 :) [18:16] ok, so hosts now seems to work, but hosts.deny does not. [18:16] osotogari: so, when you do ls /mnt/data do you see the lost+found directory? [18:16] ok [18:17] lettuc3: what do you have in hosts.deny [18:17] lettuc3, I tested it, and it will give a 503 error if no web server is installed. [18:17] @ nickrud: Yes [18:17] ikonia i have www.yahoo.com and on another line 87.248.113.14 [18:17] lettuc3: thats not how hosts.deny works [18:17] ikonia oh, sorry. [18:17] bkr> would the uninstall file be with the files a used to install the program or with the files that the program installed? [18:17] lettuc3: hosts.allow and hosts.deny are used by tcpd - which controls daemons [18:18] Hi, anyone knows how i can access graphic drivers list thru command line in boot, pick one, and set it ? [18:18] phenom mine ended up working, but im not exactly sure why, all this time it wasn't. [18:18] osotogari: then you are mounting the partition correctly. When you initially had it on /media/data you created the dir /media/data so it still exists. And, nautilus only shows devices mounted in /media on the desktop [18:18] Graaaargh [18:18] axelfr:graphics drivers list ? [18:18] ikonia hmm... i had assumed it would just drop requests from hosts inside there. wrong, then. === dora is now known as Gorzak [18:18] After I updated my 'software', sound is not working! [18:18] lettuc3: thats for tcpd only [18:18] @ nickrud: Ok, I now understand. What about the other folders I see, cdrom, cdrom0? [18:19] Can someone help me here? [18:19] Sound was working great before [18:19] TheDarkKiller: you have to ask a question rather than just make noises like garrrrrr [18:19] lettuc3, I find it best to roll with the punches brother :P I wouldn't kill myself wondering why. [18:19] Btw, the sound works on XP [18:19] ikonia, yeah i change the driver for my graphic chipset (intel 945), but boot freezes i think the driver is set is wrong [18:19] I know [18:19] osotogari: cdrom0 is the place the cdrom gets mounted to; cdrom is a link to cdrom0 ls -l /media will show you that link [18:19] It's just frustrating [18:19] grrrrrrrrr :( [18:19] axelfr: you can't access that at boot [18:19] phenom argh. === faris is now known as zubat [18:20] TheDarkKiller: and ? the channel isn't frustrating so making random noises doesn't do anything to help you get help [18:20] ikonia, can i reset it through the live cd ? [18:20] I'm pretty aware of that, thank you. [18:20] @ferengi [18:20] TheDarkKiller: if your aware of it - don't do it [18:20] axelfr: you can boot "safe" or "recovery" mode from your grub boot lines and change it [18:20] @nickrud: ok, but why is that link there in my /mnt/data directory? [18:20] But really, I asked this question before. I got blindly ignored. [18:21] TheDarkKiller: again - and ? why is that a reason to just make silly noises ? [18:21] Well, it was pointless. [18:21] osotogari: what link in /mnt/data ? cdrom -> /media/cdrom0 ? [18:21] But what am I supposed to do. [18:21] TheDarkKiller: wait patiently [18:21] !patience TheDarkKiller [18:21] ikonia, ok right, whats the command i could use ? [18:21] axelfr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:22] @ nickrud: patrick@ubuntu:~$ ls /mnt/hd_2/ [18:22] cdrom cdrom0 data lost+found [18:22] ikonia, ok thanks a lot [18:22] TheDarkKiller: not ignored, just that sound is difficult to troubleshoot and no one here will take it on [18:22] And look at the chat getting filled up (where my question gets lost in all the other questions)? [18:22] im a total noob, can anyone tell me how to uninstall vmware because it wont allow me to install a new one untill i do so. please take into consideration that i an normaly a windows user and am unexperiaced with how linux works, i have no knowlage at all [18:22] TheDarkKiller: *can* take it on, more accurately [18:22] TheDarkKiller: thats right - yes [18:22] Stephen-Mason, Ok Synaptic package manager is your friend, [18:22] nickrud: thats not true, people will trouble shoot, but some people are helping multiple people at once [18:23] phenom, i didnt use synaptic package manager to install it? [18:23] osotogari: if they are links, they probably got made at some time while it was mounted in media. ls -l will tell you what they point at. Never seen that happen, though [18:23] Stephen-Mason, Until you become a bit more familiar using the terminal, then I'd suggest you to useit/live it/love it. Open Synaptic, and simply right click/uninstall. [18:23] can any one tell me why my amarok is not syncing with my iPod [18:24] it does have it in the list but it says that there are files from that instilation on my computer [18:24] ikonia: you're welcome to sound, but it's generally true that most sound questions are quietly passed on :) [18:24] Stephen-Mason - what did you use? [18:24] hi... does anybody know if it is possible to replace openoffice from ubuntu 6.06 AMD64 with an actual version? [18:24] Stephen-Mason, I'm not sure how you installed it, I assume either via apt-get/aptitude/or synaptic. [18:24] !photorec [18:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about photorec - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:24] phenom, command line [18:24] nickrud: nah, always hit the factoid first as no-one ever does it, then progress to more useful debugging [18:24] Well, all I can say is that the sound worked perfectly before (it still works fine under my second XP partition, though). [18:25] TheDarkKiller: it's an intel card ? [18:25] Ok, I would still recommend you to uninstall it via synaptic. [18:25] i cant find it in there? [18:25] how do i set up a webserver to listen to 127.0.0.2 only? :P [18:25] lettuc3: httpd.conf - ServerName or Listen set it to localhost or 127.0.0.1 [18:25] @nickrud: seems that cdrom -> cdrom0.... Hmmm how will I fix this..weird [18:25] Stephen-Mason - agree with phenom - synaptics is just a gui for command line based apt-get [18:25] Well, I doubt it us. Any command so I can look it up? [18:25] lettuc3-> which webserver? like netcat? [18:26] * [18:26] *is [18:26] TheDarkKiller: what sound card is it ? [18:26] ikonia ok i'll look into it. [18:26] anyone know of a java rdp-client (that can be run from a browser) that works with virtualbox vrdp? I've tried properjavardp and it sort of works but it has some graphical errors and I'm not sure it works as an applet, and I've tried HOBLink JWT but it gives an error when connecting. I'm running ubuntu server 7.10 [18:26] Stephen-Mason - use search tool in synaptic [18:26] I'm not quite sure, how can I look it up? [18:26] VIA 8235 [18:26] TheDarkKiller: what make of PC is it ? [18:26] Stephen-Mason, Yes, use search "vmware" or whatever you installed via comand line. [18:26] lettuc3: add/modify the line Listen 127.0.0.1:80 to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [18:26] bkar well, the idea is, im getting some ad sites to resolve to 127.0.0.2 and i want a blank page to show up in my browser rather than the error message, which invovlves a timeout delat. [18:26] (looking at the sound control) [18:27] *volume [18:27] TheDarkKiller: what make of PC is it ? [18:27] MyCom [18:27] Danish firm [18:27] ok. [18:27] lettuc3: or you could use adblockplus [18:27] TheDarkKiller: can you please put the output of lspci in a pastebin please. [18:27] So, I doubt you'll be able to look it up [18:27] Yes [18:27] I have a whole bunch of files named like '02_20-_20Till_20There_20Was_20You.mp3' Is there a way that I can remove the '_20' from all of the files? [18:27] lettuc3-> ad sites? i didnt follow [18:27] kk im gettin use to it, the way the files are confuse me at the moment [18:28] !help [18:28] 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 [18:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53750/ [18:28] how can i turn on direct rendering on my video card [18:28] is there a program that can print as output how many new mails I have on a POP3-server? [18:28] DRebellion i dont use firefox. [18:28] TheDarkKiller: ok, just looking up your card [18:28] Thanks alot [18:29] Ballena: you should be able to shell script that [18:29] fiXXXerMet-> if you are familiar with sed, you can try to clean it up [18:29] !iPod [18:29] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [18:29] ikonia: I cant script :) is there no ready to use downloadable program for that? [18:29] bkar: I'll look into it. [18:29] fiXXXerMet: gprename should be able to do that for you [18:29] !rockbox [18:29] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [18:29] Ballena: I doubt it. Google doesn't hurt, though ;) [18:29] TheDarkKiller: looking up your card gave me this as the first hit. Looks good http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647534 [18:29] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.4-1gutsy2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 [18:29] this is the erros i am recieving when i try to install vmware server [18:29] ok :) [18:29] !msgthebot | johnathon [18:29] johnathon: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [18:30] Ballena: you could look at some biff programs, but other than that, no [18:30] Does anyone know much about getting a mic to work in Ubuntu? I have searched through the forums, set up every for ALSA, etc.,..even made sure that mute has been toggled off? I can hear myself talking through the mic into the headphones, but the mic will not work in TeamSpeak? [18:30] ikonia: biff? [18:30] mikebeecham: is teamspeak setup to use alsa, I thought it wanted OSS by default [18:30] mikebeecham, i had the same problem. first off, do u have 2 inputs? [18:31] Anyone know how to load scripts in Konversation? [18:31] Ballena: mail-notification adds a panel app that can check your pop3 mailbox [18:31] nickrud thats good to know, thank you [18:31] ikonia: dont know about OSS [18:31] what package provides utf-8 input encoding support in latex/tetex/texlive? [18:31] pvl1: do you mean on ALSA mixer or my sound card? [18:31] I tried /usrpackage[utf-8]{inputenc} but I get error about missing utf-8.def file [18:31] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.4-1gutsy2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 ??????????? [18:32] Nicke: but i would prefere a CLI-app that can give me the count of new mail as a output [18:32] mikebeecham, soundcard [18:32] pvl1: I only have one mic input on there...it's the pink socket [18:32] Stephen-Mason - uh oh :( [18:32] Stephen-Mason, A couple notes: You can only have one apt-get process running at a time, as synaptic is only a gui for apt-get you can only run one synaptic also. Did you uninstall whatever it was you installed via command line? [18:33] Stephen-Mason, What command did you install that program with? [18:33] mikebeecham, ok well really all i deed is mess with alsamixer for like hours untill i managed to get it running. i really dunno what i did, but i can say that alsamixer is the way to go [18:33] nope? [18:33] dont know how [18:33] Uninstall whatever it was first. [18:33] hi i m using photorec to recover some deleted pictures on my secondary hard disk but the folders created by photorec can be accessed i get an error message saying that i dont have permission to access them....pls help [18:33] I am about to buy a new computer, It is Possible to have Ubuntu on one harddrive, and have Windows Vista on another, and Just Switch which one loads in the BIOS ? [18:34] does anybody know if it is possible to replace openoffice from ubuntu 6.06 AMD64 with an actual version? [18:34] i naved to the folder and put in sudo ./vmware-install.pl [18:34] Stephen-Mason, What command did you install vmware player with? :P [18:34] debaser, try your login password [18:34] and folowed the steps? [18:34] pvl1: not sure what else to try....I can hear myself, so I know the Mic is working...and in Teamspeak if I hold down the pre-set mic button then I can hear it feeding back, but I cant hear speech [18:34] Stephen-Mason, bad Stephen, no cookie [18:34] KindOne, you can but you can also get bootloaders to see each other and load whichever you want [18:34] you should install from the deb, not with a script [18:34] let the deb be your guide. [18:34] mikebeecham, well have u used alsamixer [18:34] lol, i dont knowwww? :( what do i do now? [18:34] <__VIO__> My pc seems to have aproblem whit install libc6-udeb at 21% [18:34] KindOne - yes you can have windows on one drive and GNU/Linux on another - you use a loader called grub to choose what OS to boot at startup [18:34] I am in it at the moment [18:34] What is the open-source equivalent of Itunes? Not for use on a portable player but just to organize and sort .mp3 files [18:35] hi, is linux kernel 2.6.24 up for download for ubuntu yet? [18:35] KalEl: no [18:35] Stephen-Mason, how long ago did this machine get installed? [18:35] KindOne, the password doesnt even come up? [18:35] RequinB5, rhythmbox \o/ [18:35] RequinB5, banshee, rhythmbox? [18:35] where are nautilus-cd-burner's logs stored? [18:35] Refugee, Exaile I love. [18:35] how long ago did i put the os on here? [18:35] www.exaile.org [18:35] Stephen-Mason, yes [18:35] I'm having problems installing feisty on lvm2 root and getting it to boot. I've used deboostrap since this is a remote server. Could anyone help me a bit with getting it booting? [18:35] Why do people keep calling me refugee [18:35] or Amarok for many people. [18:35] yesterday [18:35] RequinB5, sorry :) [18:35] nick completer... [18:35] thanks... is there a log somewhere where i can read when the kernel image is planned to be a part of the repository? [18:36] so rythmbox, banshee, exaile? [18:36] thanks for the help ppl [18:36] RequinB5, cos tab autocomplete nick is killing your nick [18:36] what command do i use with WGET to only make it download the file if it doesn't already exists on my computer? [18:36] hi [18:36] is there any way to get the flashplayer use both of my CPU-s? [18:36] Travis_: -c IIRC [18:36] RequinB5: we're all refugees from bad os's, so it does fit :) [18:37] how do i check my current up- and download amount ? [18:37] RequinB5, you prolly will like Exaile it's the gnome version for amarok. [18:37] nickrud - :) [18:37] Stephen-Mason, it might be good to consider (and you may hate this) install it again and then cleanly do your vmware rather than starting with foundations built on sand that might need a lot more attention to fix later that was the thought in my head [18:37] RequinB5, the website shows you how to install their repo's [18:37] grrrr, lol, i need to format? :( lol [18:37] anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org? the site's been down for quite a while... [18:38] wheres java vm installed? [18:38] Stephen-Mason: to be honest it's very hard to help uninstall software that is manually installed [18:38] Stephen-Mason, no, and yes, you don't have to regenerate the partitions, just format them so you don't have cruft there [18:38] Travis_: wget -nc (no clobber) [18:38] Stephen-Mason - does the command dpkg -l | grep vmware show up anything?? [18:38] Stephen-Mason, if it is grrrr why then the lol which is laugh out loud, this is not IM this is IM's grandaddy [18:39] whers java vm installed? [18:39] hi... im just a newbie.. ive tried to use synaptic and try the doc... section.. and mark some pdf and html .. howtos.... my question is..where i could see the files after it finised?? [18:39] ii vmware-server-kernel-modules 2.6.22.0-1 vmware-server kernel module dependency packa [18:39] ii vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.22-14 2.6.22.0-1 vmware-server modules for Linux (kernel 2.6. [18:39] NAiL whats the diff between -c and -nc the man page confuses me [18:39] pvl1: /usr/lib/jvm/* [18:40] thanks nickrud [18:40] Travis_: -c continues if the file is smaller than what you're downloading. -nc just doesn't download if it'd overwrite something [18:40] hi i m using photorec to recover some deleted pictures on my secondary hard disk but the folders created by photorec can be accessed i get an error message saying that i dont have permission to access them....pls help [18:40] Stephen-Mason - try apt-get -s --purge remove vmware-server-kernel-modules [18:40] How do I make Qt apps use my GTK theme? [18:41] I ve tried using $sudo cd /folder.... to but it still says permission denied [18:41] Stephen-Mason, I again,, would use synaptic package manager to install everything until you get a bit more comfortable with the command line, and note: anything that you can install via "sudo apt-get install whatever" can be installed/removed with synaptic package manager. It is perfectly find to install/remove programs with either method, but I would suggest only those 2 methods "for now at least", do not contemplate building or installing from "s [18:41] ource". [18:41] Debaser: you can't sudo cd , just cd [18:41] nikin, but even then its permission denied :S [18:41] Debaser: try gksudo nautilus [18:41] yer, i think that mighta worked gona try installing vmserver now [18:41] Stephen-Mason - see what the output is - that command will not actually do anything - the -s command means just simulate [18:41] NAiL perfect answered my question....Thanks! [18:41] Debaser: then sudo -i , and cd [18:41] Debaser: use sudo -i [18:42] ant then use cd [18:42] test [18:42] Stephen-Mason-> try to run vmware-uninstall.pl [18:42] ^ :P [18:42] is there any tutorials for the old program 'mail'? [18:42] google gives me a lot of other guides for other clients [18:43] Ballena-> narrow it down to sendmail [18:43] tcpst [18:43] OK i'm gonna do this in one line because this place is crowded: Ubuntu live on USB, persistent changes. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ firefox -safe-mode --> Segmentation fault (core dumped) .... it used to work! Can i get more error information?? [18:43] im gona do a fresh install ill be back in about half hour [18:43] how can i enable direct rendering [18:43] sybariten: sure strace [18:44] * nickrud thinks Stephen-Mason has a very fast system and net [18:44] When I turn on my computer, Ubuntu says that resolvconf failed. :| [18:44] i do, indeed lol [18:44] by the way, i can always start it when running "true" live mode from the USB, but when running "live with persistent changes", firefox always dies. Used to work, as i said, i cant see what i changed. [18:44] bascule: OK thanks [18:44] pvl1: what video chip , if you're not exactly sure lspci | grep -i vga will tell you [18:44] sybariten: or gdb if you wanna get really messy ;) [18:44] bkar: i should use sendmail instead? [18:44] sybariten: Maybe firefox has some config somewhere (in the persistent bit) that makes it segfault? [18:45] nickrud, matrox g450, mga driver [18:45] Ballena-> you asked for older mail, older mail uses sendmail [18:45] bkar: ok [18:45] Anyone that can help with root-on-LVM2 issues? I need to make sure that I'm making initramfs/initrd correctly :\ [18:45] NAiL: yeah, i'm thinking something like that. But i cant remember that i tweaked firefox though.... as you can see, i tried with safe-mode, same thing. safe mode shouldnt use any specific configs.... [18:46] bascule: this seems to be something i run a command _through_ ? a bit like a filter? [18:47] sybariten: strace firefox [18:47] should give you a crapload of info [18:47] the most relevant stuff is usually at the end [18:47] (for obvious reasons i cant google for examples on strace usage, and man files seldom contains examples.... for some reason.... [18:47] NAiL: ok, like i thought, thanks [18:47] np [18:48] NAiL: uhm, yes... that truly is a so called "crapload".... hmm [18:48] strace firefox > firefox_dupmp.txt [18:50] bascule: interesting, it doesnt treat STDOUT the normal way... that file becomes empty. And you still see the output in the shell [18:50] i'll man that, theres probavly a dump option or sumthin [18:50] sybariten: oh, strace firefox -o firefox_dump.txt [18:50] pvl1: not sure about that one, looking at stuf [18:51] nickrud, oh, well thank you [18:52] witam [18:52] does any one now of a good irc server [18:52] JordanCaso1: you mean a deamon? [18:53] how do i enable my wacom tablet...messing with xorg.conf results into big problems [18:53] I've got this rule: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 << Now I dont want it to be in use if the dst_ip equals 10.0.0.2. How should I achieve that? [18:53] um i dont know mabye [18:53] JordanCaso1: you mean, an IRC server program? ircd-hybrid is a good one [18:54] JordanCaso1: you're looking for a program to run an IRC server? [18:54] nemilar: thanks [18:54] hey [18:55] Freakingme: -d ! [18:55] thanks [18:56] pvl1: grep agpart /var/log/Xorg.0.log , does it say something about an error? [18:57] ok now this was a *tad* bit cumbersome [18:57] Freakingme: or of course a specific rule *for* 10.0.0.2 further up the rules [18:57] but i managed to get the output from strace, onto the pastebin....i think... http://en.pastebin.ca/875234 [18:57] nickrud, no, returns nothing === Leila is now known as The_Dr [18:57] hi [18:57] bascule this does the trick already, does a specific rule has any further advantages? === Mazza is now known as Wafflehauzen === The_Dr is now known as Leila [18:58] mcp51 doesn't work on hp laptop :) [18:58] pvl1: put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , maybe something will hit me between the eys [18:58] but there is sound, dunno how [18:58] maybe oss driver with conexant chip [18:58] hi [18:59] hi winther [18:59] I installed ubuntu ultimate 1.6 in my neighbours laptop [18:59] and nvidia mcp51 don't want to work :( [18:59] nickrud, says my 'screen' isnt dri capable which is something i highly doubt but http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53752/ [19:00] a computer of my friend is freezing very often. I do not think that ubuntu is the cause since it ran with no errors before. Is there a way to check ram and hd for errors with the life cd? [19:00] how do i check my current up- and download amount ? Which proc do I have to read ? [19:00] everything else is working very fine, wi-fi out of box, also irda [19:00] Freakingme: nor really, just probably cleaner [19:00] alright, tt [19:00] s/tt/ty [19:00] winther, ramtest, when you start livecd [19:01] sybariten: the last 100? I don't see the SEGFAULT [19:01] Algyz: thanks. Is there also a way to check the hd for bad sectors? [19:02] anybody had problems with mcp51 on hp laptop? [19:02] bascule: it *should* be everything... but emacs may have stolen soemthing in the process... i dont know.... [19:02] winther: seatools is the best by miles, google eit up, small ISO [19:02] winther, I'm not sure :) [19:02] let me see [19:02] bascule: thank you very much [19:02] pvl1: let me see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , the aiglx thing comes after the dri should be enabled, so it's not the real error [19:03] everything else is working good, and I'm not the very newbie, sitting on Ubuntu like 2 years [19:03] Can anyone point me to a nice tutorial for printing over a network? Like using a ubuntu computer as a print server for other computers, some running vista? [19:03] how do I know if my nvidia card was set up. I found the software in the repositories and it was installed. Is there a test I can run to see if I have 3d acceleration? [19:03] winther, look for ultimate boot cd, hope, it'll help you ;) [19:03] hi all [19:04] !cups [19:04] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [19:04] thank you Algyz [19:04] ;) [19:04] can anyone here recommend a .avi converter for Ubuntu? [19:04] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53754/ === usta is now known as worgil [19:05] winther, the main thing is to think, which words to type, while you're searching in google :D [19:05] Isn't there something called mesa that can be run to check 3d? [19:05] TurtleBoots, "apt-cache search avi converter" [19:05] winther: to check hd for bad sectors you could just use: e2fsck -fcc [19:05] pvl1: try adding Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection to the xorg.conf [19:05] bascule: well i think my file is around 8k (the output) and it should go from "execve" down to "exit group" ... i frankly cant enter the pastebin page myself, i fed that from emacs into www.pastebin.ca via a script... and the paste into emacs may have fudged things up.... [19:06] Algyz: yeah, but this is not exactly my area of expertise. So I go to the pros :) [19:06] I will try that kinroad [19:06] Algyz: cheers mate [19:06] nickrud, iread that somewhere but got scared to do it. aight ill try it [19:06] pvl1: of course, make a backup of the conf file first :) [19:06] sybariten: i just ran an strace myself on firefox, seems to generate very little once firefox starts, just reall logs the initial kick-off, odd [19:07] Does anybody know of a program for ubuntu that joins mp3 files into one big file? [19:07] TurtleBoots, seems vsound ;) [19:07] Leila: glxinfo | grep direct should tell you the status of your 3d [19:07] hi, does anyone know an dvbt viewer, wich works under ubuntu????? [19:07] bascule: try with strace -f ;) [19:07] it spawns children [19:07] russ cat [19:07] winther: you have to boot from cd or remount your hd read-only [19:07] NAiL: ok, I tried v already :) [19:07] Algyz: yeah - and I've also found DeVeDe ?? [19:07] kestir can you just cat mp3 files together? [19:07] russ ayup [19:08] kinroad: I will do that from the life cd. Just burned it [19:08] TurtleBoots, great :D [19:08] wow cool I'll try it. [19:08] russ: or video files, or text files or whatever [19:08] russ yeah it's awesome [19:08] Algyz: Sweet :-D [19:08] anybody has deeper knowledge in IT, than me? [19:09] Algyz: millionsof people probably ;P [19:09] there is sound, but sound card isn't working [19:09] I'm sure :D [19:09] !!!paste [19:09] 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) [19:09] thx ubotu [19:09] :D [19:09] there is a command line app that will join mp3 files, but you have to remove all the spaces. I don't remember exactly what it was called. [19:10] It seems, that after I installed oss-linux_v4.0-1012_i386.deb, sound is working, but not sound card [19:10] All the spaces in the names. [19:10] Algyz: whats your sound device? [19:10] I mean sound is working probably with conexant chip [19:10] qmp3join is the app. [19:10] sound device is nvidia mcp51 [19:10] oh [19:11] sad? :( [19:11] I have problem with fglrx. I upgraded it to 8-1 and now it is very slow. glxgears has only about 70 fps. Here's my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53757/ [19:11] How does one determine what their sound device is? [19:11] Jewsus, hwinfo and lots of other ways [19:11] Jewsus➜ lspci |grep Audio [19:11] Jewsus, lspci |grep audio [19:11] Jewsus - 'lscpci' [19:11] Wow [19:11] lspci [19:11] Jewsus: lshw is one option [19:12] Five answers [19:12] * Jewsus is flattered [19:12] lshw rules! [19:12] kestir I'll be damned it does work. [19:12] nobody knows :| [19:12] I would have thought it would be necessary to re-encode the files. [19:12] how do i check my current up- and download amount ? Which proc do I have to read ? [19:12] Leila: there are simple bash loops for file renaming like that, or look at easytag, it renames mp3/ogg files to various different schemas, as will amarok IIRC [19:13] Does anyone know why my CD drive would be ripping CDs so slowly? Sound Juicer seems to rip at a max of 3.2x. [19:13] I found it. You type in glxgears to see your 3d rendering in gears and a print out. [19:14] bye all [19:14] I'm getting 12531 frames in 5 seconds. [19:14] matisse: for net? use gkrellm, easiest way to do it, or gnome-system-monitor [19:14] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53759/ <--- i am getting compile errors for the program axfr errors on make [19:14] I have problem with X1950 and fglrx driver. I upgraded fglrx to Catalyst 8-1 and now all programs are very slow. Glxgears has only about 70 fps. Here's my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53757/ [19:14] It comes with Mesa-utils. [19:14] nickrud, apperently direct rendering is still off. [19:14] bascule: there has to be an easier way with proc [19:15] matisse: you can install netspeed , it's an applet for the panel [19:15] Ok, i need help: I installed Google Earth from its .bin file but every time i would run it would crash over to the terminal and restart gnome. How do i stop this? [19:15] hello... I am using the LiveCD/Gutsy right now, and I want to make some tests with my sound card... for that, I need to insert new options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base... BUT THEN, I have to remove the sound modules and re-load them again. The thing is, I can't remove the modules.... It won't let me.... what am I doing wrong? I select all sound related modules to remove in the rmmod line! [19:15] matisse: proc is static though [19:15] matisse: try /proc/sys/net/ [19:15] Does anybody know of a workaround or fix for the apparent bug in the "at" command? I tried using "at" to schedule a command and it bombed. [19:15] someting in there [19:15] IndyGunFreak, so this nvidia device is bad? [19:15] russ: yeah, cron === mikelinux_ is now known as mikelinux [19:15] Try installing Google Earth from Synaptic. [19:15] bascule: thanks, i need proc because i want to check older infos [19:15] Algyz: it would seem unlikely [19:15] k [19:16] does it work under windows? [19:16] http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/4/1/27/f_screeniem_654ca1c.png <-mine [19:16] matisse: I really don't think speeds are logged like that [19:16] IndyGunFreak, with xp no, with vista yes [19:16] pvl1: I'm not sure what would be the problem, like I said I'm not real familiar with that chip. Just checked the obvious stuff with you. Sorry [19:16] oops, sorry, wrong channel [19:16] Algyz: so obviously the sound device isn't bad [19:16] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53759/ <--- i am getting compile errors for the program axfr errors on make [19:16] nickrud, oh well thanks anyway [19:16] bascule: then i was misunderstood [19:16] can someone do me a huge favour and try visiting: http://uclinux.org - I can't seem to get a connection and was wondering if the server is down [19:17] ghmm, so what's the problem? I think something with alsa [19:17] i want to check the _amount_ of up and down [19:17] neat huh russ ? [19:17] roger that, server down confirmed [19:17] mbascule ok, I have read the manual pages related to cron and crontab but not too sure what to do. can you give me a simple example, say to schedule running "ls" 5 minutes from now? [19:17] bjames: server is down [19:17] matisse: the max possible at any givent time? [19:17] cheers all [19:17] no [19:17] ;-) [19:17] kestir yessir [19:17] does anyone know if i can listen to itunes libraries? it says that there is an error connecting to every itunes library on the network :( [19:17] matisse: the number of conections? [19:18] bascule: wait a sec, i look in a dictionaryy [19:18] hi. is this where I can ask for ubuntu help? [19:18] akromyk: yes [19:18] akromyk: correct [19:19] bascule: i want to see my traffic [19:19] what extention does Ubuntu use? [19:19] Reggi1: what do you mean? [19:19] russ: sleep 300000 && ls <-- I'm being comical I know [19:19] matisse: the total up/down bits for the lifetime of the connection? try adding network monitor to the panel, it shows it in the properties dialog [19:19] hello... I am using the LiveCD/Gutsy right now, and I want to make some tests with my sound card... for that, I need to insert new options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base... BUT THEN, I have to remove the sound modules and re-load them again. The thing is, I can't remove the modules.... It won't let me.... what am I doing wrong? I select all sound related modules to remove in the rmmod line! [19:19] Like for the files made for Ubuntu, what extention do they have? [19:19] matisse: then you need wireshark (gui) or iptraf (for shell) [19:19] Reggi1: there's nothing as files made for ubuntu really. [19:19] does any one know of a good web design app for Ubuntu [19:20] i was in the middle of an install in the terminal and I selected the text and press CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard and now I found out I should have hit SHIFT+CTRL+C. Is there anyway to recover the install? [19:20] Reggi1: applications might do file extensions thou like openoffice would use whatever you saved it as [19:20] JordanCason: the only really useful one is kompozer or maybe amaya [19:20] !aptfix | akromyk [19:20] akromyk: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [19:20] thanks nickrud [19:21] hello, I can't figure out why my screensaveer won't activate, it fades out then before the screensaver activates it goes back to desktop [19:21] Oh, I'm back [19:21] ouellettesr: doesn't like the OpenGL screensaver for one of many reasons, probably drivers [19:22] bascule it would take some time to run your experiment, trying to get rid of me? [19:22] I can get the audio to work if I directly set my device in the Sound Preferences, Auto detect doesnt seem to work. [19:22] russ: no, I thought that was milliseconds [19:22] djzn: it's probably because the sound modules are in use. You can try to track down the apps using the modules, but for the sound ones it's easier to just reboot [19:22] anyone knows if pidgin supports offline messages for hotmail accounts? [19:22] bascule, it did work before, im using the restricted drivers [19:22] i would prefer to just start over again and remove the old install. It was for vmware workstation. How would I go about that? When I look in Add/Remove all I find is VMWare Player and not VMWare Workstation. I want to uninstall both [19:22] theLichKing, #pidgin? [19:23] theLichKing, it doesn't, to my knowledge [19:23] bascule, I can see the preview and all too [19:23] nickrud: exactly they are in USE... however this is related to modules use only, e.g. snd uses snd_hda_intel, that uses snd_pcm, and so on, it's not related to ESD or other software right? [19:23] nickrud, bascule: sorry, my fault. I meant "ifconfig eth0 | grep MB" [19:23] matisse: ah [19:23] :) [19:23] when gdm pops up it makes a sound, how do I disable it? it's not in preferences->sounds [19:24] djzn: yes it can be. you can try lsof | grep snd , maybe it'll be an easy pkill of that app [19:24] theLichKing: no, i think it does... [19:24] matisse: total used bandwidth [19:24] no.. thats yahoo, my bad [19:24] matisse: try the network monitor, add it to the panel. that data is in the properties dialog [19:25] nickrud: there is the mixerapp.. is it blocking it? [19:25] djzn: yes it would be, it's using he sound subsystem (/dev/snd/) [19:25] nickrud: is there any way to re-load the modules with alsa-base new options? [19:26] nickrud: it's a live cd, the system is not installed [19:26] I have a hp compaq 2710p, I'm running Ubuntu 64 bit and lots of things arn't working, such as the graphics card and tablet pen. [19:26] djzn: not sure how to restart the mixer_app after it's killed ... [19:27] I got my sound problem fixed [19:27] nickrud: but by doing that, I am going to able to remove the modules? [19:27] I had recently inserted a webcam with audio mic [19:27] Hello, does anyone know why my screensaver would stop working? I can see the preview in full screen, but when my computer activates the screensaver after being idle, the display fades out, then immediately goes back to desktop [19:27] And it seemed like Ubuntu thought it should use that device instead [19:28] I currently have a Windows machine set up with two graphics cards, one from nVidia and one from ATI. I use the low-end ATI card for my second monitor to get a second LUT so I can calibrate the two monitors independently. Is this an even remotely viable solution in Ubuntu or will I just run into a bunch of problems that nobody has ever had because I use both ATI and nVidia at the same time? [19:28] nickrud: OK, that clarified the problem.... [19:28] djzn: that's actually mixer_applet2 (truncated in the lsof output) . [19:29] can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu without running it straight from the cd first? I don't have enough RAM for the trial thing.. [19:29] found the unintall. it was in /usr/bin "sudo ./vmware-uninstall.pl" [19:29] for vmware [19:29] djzn: you can try killall mixer_applet2 , do the module remove and install , then run /usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2 . Worth a try, since it's only the livecd [19:29] cya guys later [19:30] woofsie: go for the alternate cd [19:30] anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org? the site's been down for quite a while... [19:30] Hi, am having a problem with stack overflows happening within R on Ubuntu (7.10). [19:30] lo everyone, i cannot install the package libsdl1.2-dev anyone know this problems [19:30] The most worrying might be that the same errors also happen on the WinXP partition of the same laptop. Hardware problems perhaps? [19:30] nickrud: ok , i will try that... very interesting... === Wafflehauzen__ is now known as Wafflehauzen [19:31] hey i need help from someone please [19:31] im new using ubuntu and my video card is unknown [19:32] ubuntu2: have you tried the restricted driver manager?

I use the low-end ATI card for my second monitor to get a second LUT so I can calibrate the two monitors independently.

What do you mean enable mp3 support? === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [21:01] if someone knows how to use the linux "stopmotion"-program, please tell me [21:01] narothepharoh: install libk3b2-mp3 [21:01] ArthurArchnix, k3b will not burn mp3's uinless you install the proper drivers. [21:01] sorry to interrupt i have a quick noob question if someone would be so kind, i'm trying to run a program from the command line, i've installed it, it's in my path and its executable however when i switch to another directory i just get command not found === cs-admin is now known as CS-Cart [21:02] phenom: Do you mean it won't make an audio cd, or that it won't even burn them as files? [21:02] For some reason I can't burn discs? When I right click and select write to disc it says there was an error [21:02] K3b didn't even show the disc [21:02] I have a laptop toshiba A210 with ubuntu 7.10 and the wireless card does not seem to be anywhere...... there is no "wlan" when type in the console "ifconfig" [21:02] mc_: type which , make sure it's in your path [21:02] how can i resize a ntfs partition without data loss in ubuntu?

[21:02] CrazyWulf: when that happened to me my CD drive was borked [21:02] naxa, with ntfsresize :) [21:02] ArthurArchnix, It will not create mp3/audio files, you can still burn data to disk. [21:03] I could burn fine with Windows.... [21:03] Seveas, can it handle new "vista" ntfs partitions, too? [21:03] phenom: Ok yeah. That makes sense. [21:03] oh, nevermind [21:03] naxa, no idea [21:03] try gnome baker for burning [21:03] Seveas, ok [21:03] thanks [21:03] it should but I never tried [21:03] !vista [21:03] vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond.

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [21:03] vista is a horrid piece of bloatware! [21:03] WONKER: it is [21:03] it's dsss (tool for building D programs) it's in home/D/dsss/bin and its in my path i can see it if i echo $PATH works fine if i'm in that folder but not anywhere else [21:04] if one wants bloat, one can always add it afterwards in Ubuntu.. [21:04] mc_, what is your $PATH now? [21:04] naxa: Generally, it should. As I installed Ubuntu on my brother's computer as a second option. (He likes that game "Habbo Hotel". >.<) [21:04] well said eitreach [21:04] mc_: if you just added that path in that terminal, open another [21:04] /home/D/dsss/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [21:05] nope opening another terminal didn't work [21:05] Tilllinux: were there any errors in the terminal window? [21:05] i always have to enter ./ before a program to get it to run to which is annoying [21:06] mc_ once its in the PATH, you dont have to anymore [21:06] That's the command, friend. [21:06] i know that's the theory but the practice is not working out the same ;-) [21:07] mc_, then you do something wrong :) [21:07] mc_ you need to restart your terminal then [21:07] anyone tried the Asus Eee? [21:07] how do i permanently add something to my path rather than just for that session ? [21:07] danmurf: no, even the verbose switch didn't help [21:07] ubuntu-offtopic [21:08] mc_ once its in PATH, its in there [21:08] msi works fine with linux [21:08] the best ftp server is.... proftpd, pureftpd, or vsftpd???

For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows [21:08] hmm it was in my path i just closed all my terminals and reopened and now its gone [21:08] mc_: in ~/.bashrc , add the line PATH=/home/D/dsss/bin:$PATH [21:08] :) :/ [21:08] X keeps starting in safe mode and the logs (var/log/Xorg.0.log) don't say anything. where can I find out why X is failing to start? [21:08] k [21:08] ah right, sorry mc_ [21:08] profXavier: any reasons why you chose proftpd over the others? [21:09] !vista =~ s/operating system/'operating system'/ [21:09] grndslm, nope, but it took a long time to set it up, so I know a bit about it [21:09] mc_: and it's possible that your program is looking for support files or something, and doesn't look in the executable's directory like it should [21:09] @login [21:09] OK [21:09] !vista =~ s/operating system/'operating system'/ [21:09] I'll remember that Seveas [21:09] Gnome baker isn't working for me either. In the output this is included: "wodim: Sorry, no supported CD/DVD-Recorder found on this target." "Device seems to be: unknown." Doesn't look like it recognizes it as a burner for some reason........ [21:09] lol Seveas [21:09] ArthurArchnix, not sure if the off-topic was for me, but my question was going to be if it was hard to install ubuntu on it === chris__ is now known as flamesage [21:10] !vista [21:10] vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond.

[21:11] joanki, fdisk -l [21:11] joanki: fdisk -l will show you partitions [21:11] joanki: or cat /proc/partitions [21:11] joanki: df -h will show you currently mounted drives, and their space allocations [21:11] How can I get Ubuntu to recognize my burner? [21:11] kanuha Nope. I just forgot to type "/join #" before that. [21:11] mc try writing a short bash script, like #!/bin/bash echo "I found it" and putting it in the new path directory. [21:12] thanks [21:12] sheesh three ways.... all work? [21:12] what do i use to triple boot (vista, xp , ubuntu [21:12] joanki: fdisk -l will show you all partitions [21:12] thx [21:12] k [21:12] df -h will just show currently mounted drives [21:12] joanki: sudo fdisk -l , only the cat /proc/partitions you were given would work [21:12] ArthurArchnix, :>) [21:12] joanki: fdisk -l one drive, cat /proc/partitions all drives df -h mounted partitions acroo all drives :) [21:12] VMware [21:13] thx [21:13] How can I get Ubuntu to recognize my burner? [21:13] um.... nothing came on my screen when i typed fdisk -l [21:13] how can i install package in my extended disk [21:13] !VMware [21:13] 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.

I'm having problems with Java not reading .cfg files in a relative directory. In Windows, it works, but at my Ubuntu Server box, it says it can't find the file! [21:14] TheDarkKiller: pathe seperators? [21:14] Not sure of the make/model, Just a generic one. I *really* don't want to install Windows again just to burn this image [21:14] vs \ [21:14] Does anyone know if there's a way to either get teamspeak to connect to a Ventrilo server, or know of a good Linux-based Voip program that can do that? [21:15] Hello, I installed Edgy a year ago. Would like to upgrade to Gutsy. Found out on the web, that they way to do this is to gksu \ldblquote update-manager -c \rdblquote and choose upgrade. I have to first go to Feisty, then to Gutsy. I am in the process of upgrading to Feisty, and it is downloading all the packages is needs. This process is taking a very long time. Since I have a Gutsy LiveCD, when I go from Feisty to Gutsy, is there an [21:15] ckages instead of downloading them itself? Thx. [21:15] Anyone know why everytime I restart my machine ubuntu automatically resets my screen resolution to 1152X864 when it should be 1440x900 - and I have to reset it every time manually [21:15] :/ [21:15] BillyAbobo: not with the live cd [21:15] nickrud: tried that interesting thing i made script, then chmod u+x it if i type test (name of script) it doesn't print anything but ./test does [21:15] what should i use to triple boot (vista, xp , ubuntu) [21:15] if my computer died abruptly, where or what log do i consult for explanation? === kristoffer is now known as Airborne [21:16] CrazyWulf: Do a sudo lshw, scroll down to your make model, type that into google and hit + ubuntu. See if anyone else has gotten the model working? [21:16] BillyAbobo, you've just gotta sit it out... [21:16] i have ubuntu and xp doing a dual boot but i am about to reinstall xp and last time i did that it killed grub. how do i get grub back? [21:16] mc_: try cd ~ , then run it. Make sure you're not in the same dir. But it seems that there is something wrong with your path yet [21:16] linduxed: try /var/log/syslog [21:16] !grub | air [21:16] air: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Seems awfully inefficient. [21:17] nickrud: if i do that it outputs nothing and typing ./test gives no such file or directory [21:17] thanks i will try those sites [21:17] Akenhaten: triple boot is the same as dual boot, just with three insted of 2 OS, just make sure windows install first, linux 2nd, and that grub is properly setup after all that. [21:17] Does anyone know better alternatives to VNC? I need one that can capture OpenGL and DX. [21:17] Is there an IRC channel for Teamspeak support? otherwise, does anyone know if there's a way to connect teamspeak to a ventrilo server? [21:17] nickrud: it doesn't say command not found though so i think the path part is working [21:17] Airborne, also look at the forums === tyler_ is now known as teeler [21:18] brobostigon: how do i set up the grub? i have easyBCD on vista === teeler is now known as teel3r [21:18] mc_: yes I would agree ~ doesn't have test in it, that's why ./test didn't work (./ means current directory) [21:18] i wanted root to be 14gb, swap to be 2 gb, home to be the rest with 10 gb of home to be going to virtualbox.... looking at my pastebin post, is that what happened???? http://pastebin.com/m77c28756 [21:18] !grub | Akenhaten [21:18] Akenhaten: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[21:19] what's the best latex compiler and editor that works for ubuntu, specifically the fiesty version? [21:19] nickrud: so why even when i'm in the same folder would the script not output anything when run using 'test' but would when using './test' ??? [21:19] how can i mount iso file locate in my extended disk [21:20] Nevermind. They link to herman's page on that link. [21:20] mc_: off the top of my head? Not sure :) [21:20] how can i mount iso file locate in my extended disk [21:20] Howdy! How do I restart a program (vsftpd) running through xinetd? [21:20] mc_: because of PATH if you say export PATH=$PATH:'.' it will [21:20] Hey everybody. So it seems there's no way to get a transparent background in Nautilus, is that correct? If so, is there an alternative file browser that would give a similar folder-like view but with a transparent background? Or, is there a way in compiz to make one color of a window show as transparent? [21:20] ugh i got booted [21:21] nixnewb: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [21:21] can i install wine on an ubuntu 64bit install? [21:21] how can i mount iso file locate in my extended disk [21:21] matt__: yes [21:21] dreamnid: will it work just as good as on a 32 bit install? [21:21] but my path is /home/D/dsss/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [21:21] matt__ yeah it works great. Er, as well as wine works. [21:21] Fix_Win)assistan, Thanks so much!!! [21:21] Hi, no one on a Macbook here ? with OSX partition ? [21:21] basem: i think it's "mount -t is09667 __file_name_location" [21:21] ThipThip: thanks [21:21] yeah.... I never really have luck with wine [21:22] basem: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu.html [21:22] matt__ I have it installed on an AMD64 and it's quite impressive. [21:22] mc_: no . in there is there ? :) [21:22] when virtual box installs, where does it take space from??? [21:22] i wanted it to take from home.... how can i be sure it did that? [21:22] wow [21:22] matt__ very far from perfect of course, but impressive nonetheless [21:22] joanki, usually in home [21:22] so is there anything that i may not like about 64 bit? i mean...is there any "problems" with a 64 bit install, like software issues, etc? [21:22] it will make a ".VirtualBox" folder [21:22] I'm trying to rescue some data off a corrupt windows volume. I've booted to ubutu live cd but can't mount the drive. I get an error "ntfs_attr_pread: ntfs_pread failed....etc " [21:22] no looking at it very carefully [21:23] matt__ : Probably the hardest thing is getting firefox/flash/java to work correctly with PulseAudio [21:23] Any advice on how to mount it based on info on my line above? [21:23] Fix_Win_assistan: ntfsfix /dev/ [21:23] matt__: The most distinct issue I continue to run into is that there doesn't seem to be a fool-proof version of flash available. [21:23] dreamnid: hmmm....any "workarounds" [21:23] dreamnid, thx [21:23] matt__: On occasion you get driver issues (I never got ATI's restricted drivers working) but you should be ok [21:23] Hi, no one on a Macbook here ? with OSX partition ? [21:23] bascule. cool thanks.. is that a program on the live cd? [21:23] Fix_Win_assistan: shouild be, it's on knoppix [21:23] Databoy2k: i'll give it a try...perhaps. [21:23] Fix_Win_assistan: I'd use a linux rescue cd, not ubuntu live cd for that kind of task. [21:24] is there default ftp servers and stuff ubuntu officially reccomends? [21:24] matt__: If you have a 64-bit processor, don't think twice about using the 64-bit version. That's my advice. [21:24] I've been told many times that going with 64 bit is a mistake. For the typical desktop user there is little to gain but headaches. [21:24] bascule: ArthurArchnix just trying to copy off some stuff then reimage it AGAIN for my neighbor. [21:24] I recently put my dvd drive back into my computer, but now the right-click to burn iso is missing. :( how do I get that back? [21:25] matt__: Yeah... I actually got everything to work two days ago... although I didn't really write it down [21:25] emma, matt__: I was told the same thing, but my experience doesn't fit that story. Yes, it takes some tweaking and customization, but that's Ubuntu, no? The performance of the 64-bit version is just.... so.... great. [21:25] ThipThip: you nean...go for it? i'm pretty sure i've got one...according to wikipedia it is. only odd thing...i got this machine from dell with ubuntu, it had 32 bit on it. [21:25] dreamnid: ThipThip [ ] ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent that what i want? [21:25] right [21:25] ThipThip: is it worth if for a core2duo? [21:25] if you wanted the 64bit version [21:25] man this is messed up i just renamed the script foobar to be sure it can't conflict with any other program name permissions are 755 i'm in the same folder as the script typing foobar gives command not found but ./foobar works *sighs* [21:25] matt__: Yes that's the one I'm using. [21:25] or, is there a way to upgrade from 32-bit version to 64 bit version without reinstalling? [21:25] Fix_Win_assistan: If bascule's command works, great. But it's possible that a bug in the live cd is the cause. Better to use a linux distro designed and tested for the task at hand, than use a live cd to suit your purposes. If bascule's command doesn't help, download and burn the linux rescue disc. [21:26] ThipThip, that's interesting. But you were able to get Flash working consistently in all applications? [21:26] mc_: that's a sure sign something is wrong with the path [21:26] ThipThip, /i don't believe you can do transparent, but you can add your desktop background picture to it? [21:26] mc_:export PATH=$PATH:'.' [21:26] bascule: I have no idea. I'm quite new to Ubuntu and I have a dual-core AMD. I know that I have managed in only about a week to get it running pretty much perfectly. [21:26] mc_: don't do that :) [21:26] m [21:26] can i nuke my path and recreate it [21:26] nickrud: it's temporary [21:26] ThipThip: dreamnid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_microprocessors ----> e2160, that would be a 64bit, correct? [21:27] Seveas are you around? [21:27] phenom: I don't use a desktop picture, just a transparent cube. Thanks for the eventual answer. :-) Do you know of an alternative file browser? It's a bit dizzying trying to google this. [21:27] Hi all. Beagle's indexed stuff i did not want it to index. How do i remove that stuff from the index? [21:27] mc_: cd ~ , then try the foobar , as bascule pointed out the current directory is not on the path [21:27] my monitor allow 1680*1050 but now is 1280x1024, how can i force that? [21:27] emma: No that's the one problem I'm having. I mean, I can get flash working in all applications, but I seem to have to install different versions for different situations. [21:27] bascule: true, but he might make it permanent, should have been more clear in my response. Sorry [21:27] mc_: copy it to /home/D/dsss/bin [21:27] matt_ looks like it [21:27] how do i mass rotate 500 pictures 90 degrees clockwise and convert them to black-and-white? [21:28] dreamnid: so if i bought me a e2200, would my motherboard support it "FOR SURE" [21:28] script is in /home/D/dsss/bin i'm in home and typing foobar gives command not found [21:28] !codeblocks [21:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about codeblocks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:28] mc_: paste the output of $PATH [21:28] mc_: echo $PATH that is [21:28] /home/D/dsss/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [21:28] matt__: I think so [21:29] how do I switch distributions? [21:29] matt__: err... motherboard? [21:29] can help me? [21:29] it gives command not found even in the same folder [21:29] ThipThip, I wouldn't dare use another browser personally, I have quite a few nautilus scripts tied up in to it already. As far as I know Nautilus is the most customizable file browser on linux. /i may be wrong, but I haven't used many other to be able to suggest another. [21:29] lo everybody, anyone knows where i find a mirror which contain codeblock package [21:29] and to share with my ubuntu nerd friends... (btw, thanks for all your help lately). Post your 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd date from hell stories here. datingishell.net [21:29] matt__ People complain about Java for 64-bit, and I will admit that I had to mess with it a bit, but it seems work fine now. Flash is less consistent. [21:29] dreamnid: not sure....exactly...something dell gave me. i'll look into that later. [21:29] mc_: now the output of pwd while you are in your home [21:29] ThipThip: i'll have the pleasure of trying all that out in a few momments...thanks guys dreamnid [21:29] phenom: Oh I absolutely wouldn't use anything in place of nautilus; I meant in addition. [21:29] /home/matthew [21:30] np [21:30] :) [21:30] how do I go about using two graphics cards at once? I see two graphics cards in the "Screens and graphics" thingy, but both my monitors are listed as "Screen 1" and if I select one as the default screen, the other is disabled.

[21:40] i was wondering if you have any ideas how to install ubuntu on a SATA drive.. or any linux at all [21:40] marsmissions, ah, thanks for the translation :) [21:40] marsmissions: oh ok tell him your welcome [21:40] np. [21:40] i did lol. [21:40] all i got was a backported image of debian stable.. which sux :D [21:40] dn7, ubuntu should install fine on sata drives [21:40] I do that all the time :) [21:40] anyone know much about wireless networking? [21:40] helu. Im having troubles with ati drivers here.. I've installed ati restricted driver thingies.. now, every now and then, when i boot up i get only low-graphics mode.. [21:40] i tested some strange windows-like 'wubu' just to try the sata thingy [21:40] yeah, you don't have to do anything special for sata drives [21:40] havfunonline: I know some [21:40] I've begun a job that will require me to do some network troubleshooting from DOS -- I'm not very familiar with it however so I'd like to use something like 'dosemu' or FreeDOS to learn. However, when I installed dosemu it doesn't include the core network utils like ping etc. Is there a way to install those? [21:40] rbb [21:41] and every now and then it works [21:41] I have an external and internal wireless network card and neither work [21:41] crap [21:41] brb [21:41] but got the same message i got when i tried to install debian .. [21:41] I really don't want to have to use vmware or similar if I can help it [21:41] nickrud: Well I'm trying to have different launchers on each side my cube. I quickly ruled out having different icons on the desktops, and in fact I really like having a completely transparent desktop so that I can see the different sides of the cube as I work. I next tried Screenlets, but they are a bit buggy - especially in the case of any kind of crash or abnormality, when they tend to "forget" which viewport they were on. So, [21:41] my next thought was to run nautilus on each desktop and make the backgroudn transparent. It seems I cannot do this. Any other solution? [21:41] benanzo, try a dos help channel [21:41] khirr: http://pastebin.com/m454e3fe [21:42] Anyone else have crazy.. random problems with ati drivers? [21:42] ThipThip: not yet. I've been waiting for custom icons/panels per desktop for a very long time. Don't expect to see them any time soon [21:42] dn7: I'm currently running Gutsy on an SATA. [21:42] Dextorion, only with compiz [21:42] If they at least would not work at all.. would've been better. hehe :) [21:42] I merged my options, should work now, however beware if xorg overwrites your xorg.conf [21:42] is it just me or does totem has worse quality than (s)mplayer? [21:42] should i put that? [21:42] seveas I was called sam___ earlier, are you very busy? [21:42] Seveas, oh.. like.. sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt? [21:42] kancerman: not just you [21:42] nickrud: And no workaround spare gDesklets and screenlets, both of which are pretty buggy? That's really too bad. [21:42] Dextorion, yeah, ati drivers are quite bad [21:42] kane77: erm, not just you sorry kancerman [21:43] havfunonline, always busy here :) [21:43] Seveas, indeed.. hrm.. [21:43] Does anyone know better alternatives to VNC? I need one that can capture OpenGL and DX. [21:43] kane77: Seems to me that VLC beats them both. [21:43] hey anyone have a working MTG programme? [21:43] bascule.. ok I'm having issues mounting the windows volume I'm trying to get at.. made a directory /media/win and tried to mount it there through the gui. nothing.. any help would be appriciated [21:43] khirr: yeah, just overwrite your xorg.conf file with the new one, it justs adds a few modelines [21:44] seveas, I tried what you said and it didn't work. When I plug my external wireless network card in, it shows up in the manual conigration bit, and has my network (which I didn't type in) in a drop down menu, surely that means I should be able to use it? [21:44] okay, i'll try this now [21:44] Fix_Win_assistan: what /dev/ is the windows drive [21:44] havfunonline, it should [21:44] hi, what does a package status of pi mean? [21:44] ThipThip, nickrud, in totem there are very visible artefacts.. haven't compared really to vlc, I liked vlc, but adding subtitles there has to be done when you load a movie (which is pita)... [21:44] ThipThip: what I ended up doing was having practically no icons on my desktop (usually just remote servers) and a single panel at the bottom with minimal stuff.

Are there more nautilus command-line options than meet the eye? For example, to show or hide certain toolbars, etc. I'm finding a great deal of junk in trying to google this stuff.

[22:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about sata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:59] matt__: Read the private message from ubotu. I had to do the same thing. Just wait a bit and it'll load up anyway when it gets to X. [22:59] a lot more apps of mine are broken I fear [23:00] phenom: I haven't updated recently [23:00] MrObvious: what message?

[23:01] Hello everyone. I'm having trouble updating from 7.04 to 7.10 using the Update Manager. There seems to be a problem with the http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 package. Is there a problem with my repositories? Is there a problem with the servers? Is their an alternate way to update to 7.10 without reinstalling Ubuntu? [23:01] matt__: boot in the live cd, mount the root file system, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst . Try removing the splash word from the kernel line. Not a pure fix, but might get you past that problem [23:01] phenom, Works fine here. [23:02] How can i fix this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53802/ [23:02] MrObvious: ummm...i'm booting from the live disk, trying to install the 64 bit. after selecting the default thing (boot into ubuntu from livedisk), the screen goes black, as if the video card isn't sending any messages. are you saying if i wait a few momments, it'll work? [23:02] Great, so my box is busted :) [23:02] phenom: works fine here. [23:02] JFactor: [23:02] yes? [23:02] JFactor: oops, yeah, i helped my brother do it [23:02] nickrud: that's just it, i can't seem to boot the live disk, after selecting the "boot from live cd", it doesn't work. [23:02] matt__: Yeah let it load then when it gets to Gnome/X/the GUI, it should load. I have the same thing but leave it all black as I think it looks cool. [23:02] matt__: Edit boot options and add nosplash. [23:02] phenom, what is the problem again, broken update? [23:02] Alright, how do we do it? [23:02] matt__: oh, have you run the check disk on the startup menu yet? [23:02] anyone know how to get flash to work? [23:03] matt__: I'd tell you exactly but I g2g. [23:03] phenom, Not neccesarily.

[23:03] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [23:03] nickrud: not tried it..never had to, but i may [23:03] MrObvious: so...what is the right thing? --no-splash?

[23:23] <linxeh> ian07: sudo -H -s [23:23] <JFactor> Alright [23:23] <phroughy> ian07: in ubuntu, there is no root, you use sudo [23:23] <techgeek40> I get this when I do the sudo ifconfig eth0 MTU 1464 [23:23] <syntaxerror55> IndyGunFreak: I probably would have acted the same, but not admitted to it in the channel. ;D [23:23] <techgeek40> MTU: Unknown host [23:23] <techgeek40> ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. [23:23] <MrObvious> JFactor: Did you extract the files to some Linux modules directory? I forget what it is. [23:23] <linxeh> phroughy: you can quite easily get a root shell though [23:23] <nickrud> isleshocky77: is your root partition mounted read only? [23:23] <RootyRootRootW00> can someone recommend a software package which extracts audio from a DVD? [23:23] <ian07> ah sorrry Im new to linux what? [23:23] <IndyGunFreak> syntaxerror55: lol. [23:23] <isleshocky77> Phoenigore: http://isleshocky77.pastebin.us/?show=d4d1e07b9 [23:23] <syntaxerror55> magnetron: I'm going to go with yes. [23:23] <heartsblood> Phroughy: there is no such thing as "no root" when refering to linux. [23:23] <phroughy> linxeh: yes but the root account is technically disabled [23:23] <linxeh> phroughy: and there is a root... it just has no password by default [23:24] <JFactor> I dont know, they extracted somewhere [23:24] <MrObvious> phroughy: Sorry I'm taking over but I have some experience in both ndiswrapper and fwcutter. [23:24] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo | ian07 [23:24] <ubotu> ian07: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [23:24] <MrObvious> phroughy: If you want I'll stop. [23:24] <bascule> techgeek40: well stops packet fragmentation hopefully, which is a guess at the cause of the slowness [23:24] <ThipThip> bascule: is there no command in linux to just close, not kill? [23:24] <phroughy> MrObvious: no, be my guest [23:24] <MrObvious> JFactor: What exact command did you use? [23:24] <isleshocky77> nickrud: It's just a basic Ubuntu server install. So whatever is default. [23:24] <linxeh> ian07: at a terminal window, type sudo -H -s [23:24] <bascule> ThipThip: not that I know of [23:24] <MrObvious> JFactor: Which exact fwcutter command I mean. [23:24] <Sepheebear> ian07: have u taken a look at: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html ? [23:24] <soundray> ian07: go to Applications-Accessories-Terminal, in there enter "sudo -i", that will give you a root shell [23:24] <phroughy> MrObvious: sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r` /path/to/bcml5.sys [23:25] <ThipThip> bascule: but there must be, somewhere behind the scenes, no? Like what happens in nautilus when I click the "x"? [23:25] <Louis> I'm trying to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 but the command gksu "sh /updatemanager -c" does not work can anybody tell me why? [23:25] <techgeek40> I get the host unknown on the ifconfig [23:25] <jebblue> falconer The Help program it's not slow for me [23:25] <ian07> "Note: Type all the following commands in a root terminal, DO NOT use sudo." how do I use root terminal without it? [23:25] <phroughy> MrObvious: and sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ /path/to/bcml5.sys [23:25] <JFactor> gimme a sec [23:25] <JFactor> I will check [23:25] <magnetron> syntaxerror55: "go with yes"? [23:25] <syntaxerror55> ian07: konsole has root terminal functionality [23:25] <Creed> When using mkfs -t ext3, do I just do the -j switch to turn journaling on? [23:25] <nickrud> isleshocky77: hm. unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/ssh' before installing new version: Operation not permitted is what I'm looking at. type mount in a terminal, and pastebin the output [23:25] <ian07> ok thank you [23:25] <astro76> ThipThip: kill with no options is a SIGTERM which is a graceful shutdown [23:25] <soundray> Louis: the / is wrong. [23:25] <syntaxerror55> magnetron: I once got scammed on the internet and try to verify the legitness of places I buy from. [23:25] <Sepheebear> ian07: in terminal type 'sudo -s <enter>' gives you a root shell [23:25] <astro76> ThipThip: kill -9 on the other hand kills immediately [23:26] <bascule> techgeek40: ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 [23:26] <phenom> ian07, Don't fall in to that habit. [23:26] <JFactor> the file is all the commands I used [23:26] <magnetron> syntaxerror55: good. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase is legit alright.

[23:26] <soundray> Sepheebear: please don't recommend sudo -s as it gives you a mixed environment (sudo -i is safer) [23:26] <MrObvious> JFactor: Yeah just modprobe bcm43xx (or is it bcm43xx-fwcutter? lol) [23:26] <bascule> ThipThip: well pressing x does stuff via widgets, not accessible from bash [23:26] <syntaxerror55> magnetron: okay, thank you. I can't download CDs because of my 200MB d/l threshold, and my CD burner doesn't even work. [23:26] <phenom> ian07, Use sudo if and whenever possible. *rather [23:27] <Sepheebear> soundray: oh i didnt know that thanks [23:27] <JFactor> I dont know which [23:27] <techgeek40> bascule: no errors - also checking some forums on it [23:27] <MrObvious> JFactor: Just bcm43xx [23:27] <techgeek40> But thank you for the help - [23:27] <JFactor> ok [23:27] <magnetron> syntaxerror55: good luck. [23:27] <bascule> techgeek40: didn't make it quicker then? [23:27] <MrObvious> JFactor: modprobe bcm43xx as root (sudo) and then the little icon in the corner that controls networks should start detecting SSIDs. [23:27] <techgeek40> No still SLOW - [23:27] <nickrud> isleshocky77: ok it is mounted rw (first line after the mount command) . Not sure yet why the filesystem wouldn't allow you to create a link.

For example, killing a single nautilus window? [23:28] <mcunixjr> imm just impatient [23:28] <JFactor> nothing happens when I type that in [23:28] <IndyGunFreak> lol [23:28] <bascule> techgeek40: try different mtu settings, and download someting via wget so you get feedback on the speeds [23:28] <MrObvious> ThipThip: ps aux | grep (processname) should help, then just get the process ID number then kill PID# [23:29] <mcunixjr> using add/remove apps, wine is at 13kb speed [23:29] <Louis> I'm trying to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 but the command gksu "sh updatemanager -c" does not work can anybody tell me why?

[23:29] <isleshocky77> nickrud: I think I figued it out. [23:29] <soundray> ThipThip: you want to close, not kill. I don't think metacity gives you any option to close a window via commandline [23:29] <techgeek40> Okay will do [23:29] <JFactor> MrObvious: it just goes back to the terminal [23:29] <syntaxerror55> Louis: don't bother. get a gusty CD [23:29] <syntaxerror55> and fresh install. [23:29] <savant42> oi, #ubuntuppc is DEAD :( [23:29] <MrObvious> JFactor: Now sudo iwlist scan and it should pull up some SSIDs.

[23:40] <BlackOut> Hello again,I am using gparted and have a SATA HDD and I am moving my partition to the beginning of the disk and resizing my HDD, any ideas why the operation is taking so slow? I usually get around 60 MB/s on Windows. [23:40] <MrObvious> JFactor: pastebin.com ....... [23:40] <techgeek40> Took some doing and I deleted ALL my xorg.conf files - but got it going just great [23:40] <heartsblood> Fryguy: ok, how fast in kilobytes?

But while installing curl somehow ssh got killed. I have a ubuntu-server install setup 450 miles from me. So, I don't have a desktop to drag and drop anything, and I couldn't access the box accept via web and ftp. I got a php-term running but that only runs as www-data. So I just had someone go and make www-data a sudo user with nopasswd. I was now able to debug the openssh problem and fix it.

[23:42] <suiza90> Hello [23:42] <Ivy_Mike> So anyone care to help with this DVD issue of having the appropriate plugins according to SPM, but still crapping itself on attempted playback? [23:42] <RequinB5> I need a NVIDIA gfx driver (proprietary) for my system, but Restricted drivers manager isn't liking me. I have a CD from my gfx card, would that work w/ ubuntu as well?

[23:43] <msub> magnetron: it says that 'Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.' [23:43] <suiza90> From Finland [23:43] <suiza90> ? [23:43] <magnetron> msub: ok [23:43] <techgeek40> Ivy_mike: what's the problem again?

[23:44] <Fryguy--> chippy: i know this isn't really related, but what are you planning to do with .bash_history, and why do you (think you) need to edit it? [23:44] <Ivy_Mike> i already have the ubuntu restricted pack, gstreamer codecs and a whole host of other stuff. [23:44] <Leila> What is the trick to getting USB drives recognized when they are plugged in? [23:44] <msub> i have the Q965 intel graphic chipset but i am not familiar on how to load drivers on Linux [23:44] <Ivy_Mike> and Totem is still crapping itself.

[23:44] <soundray> Leila: see the options in System-Preferences-Removable Drives [23:44] <phroughy> Leila: gnome-device-manager i think [23:45] <Fryguy--> so then view it with cat or a pager, no need to edit it.. [23:45] <techgeek40> <---will be back [23:45] <pazsion> http://3mdmt.dyndns.org/riff.mp3 didn't work [23:45] <Fryguy--> chippy: (btw i don't know the answer to your question, i don't use gedit) [23:45] <nickrud> Ivy_Mike: that link I gave you will tell you how to get it [23:45] <RequinB5> Fryguy-- - Ok, well are there any alternative ways for me to get this driver? I don't have time right now to try and walk through the difficulty the R Drivers manage ris giving me [23:45] <Ivy_Mike> cool, ta. [23:45] <msub> i guess i spent too much time on windows [23:45] <JFactor> MrObvious: I am having trouble copying it all [23:45] <JFactor> it is verylong [23:45] <JFactor> and the terminal wont allow me to select all [23:45] <pazsion> need help setting up ppp server.. goggling stuff now... [23:45] <Fryguy--> RequinB5: the restricted drivers manager takes like 2 seconds to get working correctly, and is by far the easiest solution to getting proprietary drivers loaded [23:45] <ian07> I don't know how you guys do... this is so confuzing.. all I wanna do is enable shared internet connection.. [23:45] <techgeek40> Ivy_Mike; you can try this too [23:45] <techgeek40> http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/01/08/dvd-playback-on-ubuntu-gutsy/ [23:46] <nickrud> Ivy_Mike: and you'll find that vlc will play that dvd better than totem will === Puddle is now known as Puddle4 [23:46] <jrib> chippy: read 'help history' to see how you can view all of your history using the history command. 'history 1' should work [23:46] <chippy> Fryguy--, cat seems to work, thanks... although it does scroll off the terminal window buffer [23:46] <chippy> jrib, will do, thanks [23:46] <Fryguy--> chippy: so then use a pager [23:46] <RequinB5> Fryguy--: Thanks i guess, i'll work on getting that to work then [23:46] <BlackOut> soundray: well it did not freeze, it's still going, but very slowly. There is no way I can see if I can speed it up? [23:46] <Fryguy--> chippy: like less, or more, or whatever, or use grep to search.

[23:47] <ian07> Probly, why does it have to be so hard to enable shared internet connection all I wanna do is bridge it to my other network card. windows made it easy to bridge [23:47] <Ivy_Mike> and ironically its still asking for libdvdcss. [23:47] <BlackOut> soundray: so is there anything I can do next time I might do something like this to prevent this from happening?

[23:48] <Fryguy--> ian07: because bridging a network connection is a pretty advanced networking operation. If you are so happy with the way windows did it for you, why not just continue to use windows ? [23:48] <jrib> Ivy_Mike: did you try ejecting and reinserting your dvd? [23:48] <BlackOut> soundray: No, but I do it enough, once a month about, so I want to prevent this from happening again. [23:48] <Ivy_Mike> i didnt. will now.
