[00:23] yeah its set right now thanks guys [00:24] neko: try acpi -V [00:24] neko: sensors [00:24] thanks [00:24] I'm supposed to insert the LiveCD in /cdrom, but neither of my drives seem to do this. Would it be acceptablet o just copy the files from the CD-ROM to /cdrom [00:24] while compiling a program I go this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53822/ [00:24] got* [00:24] problem i think was i was manual setting with wrong time zone so it was stepping up one hour for whatever reason i set it to ntp and choose right time zone and it sets itself back [00:24] to correct time [00:24] okey acpi -V did the job [00:24] Requin85: ok... wait, what areyou trying to do? [00:25] also my hdd is damn hot [00:25] on my laptop [00:25] hi, i'm unable to login due to an error with .ICEauthority and gnome. when i googled the problem, i got a lot of solutions involving permissions, which i tried with no success. however i think i now know what the problem is: the error says that it cannot lock the file /home/jwleung/.ICEauthority, but my username is jwl not jwleung. how do i convince gnome to look in /home/jwl/ and not /home/jwleung/? [00:25] The reason why I want to install arch is because I like snowball releases. Snowballs don't stop at the middle of the mountain an wait 6 months. I keep hitting into walls with Ubuntu because packages are old and do not have the functionality I need in the name of stability. And, backports is pretty stale. [00:25] is there command to set him be cooler ? [00:25] dreamnid - restricted devices manager says to put the CD in /cdrom. I've put it in both my CD drives but neither fixes the error, in fact both give me "cannot unmount, may be busy" [00:25] dreamnid.. just restarted X but VLC still pops up... very strange [00:25] Shadow147: 'sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev' [00:26] dreamnid - ok, well apparently /cdrom links to /media/cdrom0 [00:26] I have two video cards, one PCI and one AGP, with the AGP being an old nvidia card (not sure of the model, sorry). X won't start at all because it claims that there are no screens to be found, but it also gives an error about no nvidia module being found, either. Not really sure where to go from here, basically I'd like both monitors that I have plugged in (one on each card) to work independently, on different X displays. [00:26] any suggestions? [00:26] Requin85: yeah [00:27] soundray I have that package already installed [00:27] in my network/interfaces, what are my options for wireless-mode? [00:27] Shadow147: try deleting the config cache then [00:28] soundray how do I do that? [00:28] Requin85: I would suggest logging off and back in and see if the error is still there [00:28] Requin85: or trying umount -l /media/cdrom0 although not sure if that will work === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [00:28] Shadow147: I don't know, it depends on the program. One sure way would be to delete the entire source directory and re-unpack it from the archive [00:28] dreamnid - hold on. i'll try that but thats basically the back end of what the manager is trying to do [00:29] ok [00:29] soundray ok thanks [00:29] Okay - FINALLY got compiz-fusion configured (I love new toys) - but two questions - first exactly what is emerald? [00:29] Any ideas what I could use to convert Quicktime .MOV files to Ogg Vorbis? [00:30] tonyyarusso: you want to extract the soundtrack? [00:30] techgeek40: It's a windows decorator [00:30] Tonyyaruss: http://www.riverpast.com/en/support/tutorials/convert/mov/ogg.php [00:30] techgeek40: More customizable/advanced than the default Metacity [00:30] soundray: Doh, I misspoke. Although, I do actually want to extract the soundtrack for one of the files, my main question was actually for _Theora_. [00:30] dreamnid: Any idea where I can get some more themes - [00:30] techgeek40: Looks promising. [00:30] techgeek40: No, I don't use emerald myself... although I probably should [00:31] dreamnid - ok the cd is in /media/cdrom0 ... relogged in.... "unable to unmount the CD-ROM in /cdrom/, it may still be in use" [00:31] tonyyarusso: I think I would look to mencoder first [00:31] soundray: all right [00:31] soundray it didn't work [00:31] I have a usb hd that disappears when copying from it to my hd. I can remount it only by using the next sd?1 device name? [00:31] 46°C for the hd seems okey to you ? [00:31] RequinB5: ok, try sudo umount -j /media/cdrom0 [00:31] Shadow147: are you sure you have the -dev package for libsdl installed? [00:31] RequinB5: actually, try sudo umount -f /media/cdrom0 [00:32] soundray ues I have it installed [00:32] soundray yes** [00:32] how do i uninstall from the command line is it apt-get uninstall? [00:32] umount2: invalid argument ; umount: /media/cdrom0 not mounted [00:32] SANTAbios: sudo apt-get remove [00:32] then it should work -.- [00:33] SANTAbios: 'apt-get remove' [00:33] RequinB5: err.. [00:33] Shadow147: does the file /usr/bin/sdl-config exist? [00:33] thanks [00:33] soundray yes [00:33] ok now for more advanced question have yall ever setup dovecot imap server on ubuntu? [00:33] I need help with the "install from linux" method [00:33] i can boot a 32bit livecd from the HDD, but not 64bit [00:34] SANTAbios: yeah.... using the guide from the Ubuntu wiki [00:34] it hangs after it finds the mouse [00:34] dreamnid - i can type out the actual 4 line error msg [00:34] thechris, is it a 64 bit machine? [00:34] RequinB5: I'm just confused where umount2 comes from [00:34] Can anyone help? [00:34] dreamnid did u get squirrellmail to work? [00:34] <_daniel__> Anyone familiar with netcat ? [00:34] RequinB5: Did you noticed that I used the -f and not the -j [00:34] SANTAbios: yep [00:34] yes, it wouldn't accept -j [00:35] RequinB5: Maybe it will be easier if you did a restart? [00:35] RequinB5: not sure if anybody else has a better idea [00:35] Shadow147: what do you get when you run sdl-config? [00:35] dreamnid - might as well. This is my "problem box" [00:35] Shadow147: (should just be a usage message) [00:36] soundray yes thats wat I got [00:36] is there any way to access samba shares throught the Add File dialog in GTK2 applications? [00:36] dreamnid what was the url for instructions? [00:36] bod_: yes [00:36] Shadow147: and sdl-config --version says 1.2.11 ? [00:36] exit [00:37] soundray yes [00:37] <---dancing in glee (for the moment) [00:37] SANTAbios: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto#head-38e5ee5a1e3385cde810bf2ab24bd41b13979adf [00:37] LOL In a few hours I will probably be pulling my hair out getting my NetGear PCMCIA card working for wireless internet [00:38] Shadow147: in that case I would look in the configure script of your source package and see whether it does something weird when it runs sdl-config [00:38] DG19075: Any luck? [00:38] hi, does anyone know how to share torrent between os's. I use windows and ubuntu, utorrent and azureus. basically when i switch to ubuntu i want azureus to detect all the files i download whilst on windows and resume them [00:39] mmm, maybe you can tell Azureus to monitor a folder for your .torrent files? [00:39] I know you can do this for deluge [00:40] just modified my forum a bit www.ceriatoneforum.com (forum about guitar amps) Marshall Clones... [00:40] hehe [00:40] and of course make sure Windows and Linux can read/write to that folder [00:40] How do I put a CTRL-C in a script? [00:40] mohbana: you'll need to make sure both OS's can share the same folder and that is where they will download the torrents to the same folder [00:40] yep i made sure they are both downloading to the same folder [00:40] ThipThip: kill -s 15 pid [00:41] ThipThip, what is the ctrl-c for in the script? [00:41] soundray looks like it's looking fot the test [00:41] dreamnid, does deluge offer ssimiliar features to azureus [00:41] anyone know of a tool i can use in ubuntu to stitch together a few short video clips? [00:41] mohbana: I never used Azureus, so I can't tell you for sure [00:41] soundray scrip and its not finding it for some reason [00:41] sam_: kino [00:41] mohbana: but I think Deluge is a lighter-weight BT client [00:41] acc. to netstat, I've got a service running on port 53 (both tcp and udp I think), however, when I telnet that app, no reply is given, also when I do a strace on that particular service, no info about the expected request is given. How do I debug that? (it dont matter whether I use telnet or dig (it's about dns indeed)) [00:41] AnRkey: I want to terminate devilspie mid-script [00:41] mohbana: so probably not [00:41] Shadow147: is it using the correct syntax according to the usage message? [00:41] Does anyone know how to use ndsiwrapper to set up BCM4328 wireless card in gutsy [00:42] mohbana: as dreamnid told you, deluge by fair isn't as, eh, "feature rich" as Azureus is. [00:42] s/fair/far/ [00:42] AnRkey (and move on with other commands) [00:42] mohbana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client [00:42] ThipThip, then use the exit command [00:42] or if you want to start something that does not end [00:42] what is the linux equivalent of Daemon Tools? [00:42] mohbana: but the problem is that most torrents that I know of won't resume *IF* the torrent is not already listed in the app for downloading [00:42] mohbana : I would be surprised if Azureus cannot monitor a folder for .torrent files though [00:42] then run command here & [00:42] !mountiso | akromyk [00:42] akromyk: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:43] the & makes it run in the background [00:43] How do share files between two Gutsy computers? [00:43] thanks [00:43] Shpook: You can use NFS or Samba [00:43] Shpook over nfs? [00:43] Whichever is best. :-) [00:43] can anyone help me with a problem i am having trying to set my timezone? [00:43] soundray do you want me to send the congiure script? [00:43] Is it just a matter of installation, or is there a walkthrough I can refer to? [00:44] There's a major typo on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710tour, "If you are upgrading from Ubuntu 7.04, we have special easy to follow upgrade instructions." [00:44] Shadow147: okay, then. Pastebin pls [00:44] Shpook, u can use ssh too [00:44] Shpook, google >> sshfs [00:44] running "date" displays the time in terms of UTC [00:45] dreamnid, are monitoring using deluge?

I need firmware to run my wireless card, restricted drivers manager tells me "The software source for the package bcm34xx-fwcutter is not enabled." [00:46] mohbana: I'm sorry, I don't follow you [00:46] ? [00:46] syntaxerror55: ok so you put in a comma, Special,easy to follow, intructions [00:46] dreamnid: Thank you for the link. I tried that, but neither computer will recongize the shared folder of the other. [00:46] syntaxerror55: read 'we have special, easy-to-follow upgrade instructions' [00:46] ah maybe it'is this as my hdd is near full [00:46] Shpook: using nfs? [00:46] !enablesources > RequinB5 [00:47] soundray: but there's no comma. [00:47] neko, if the hdd is near the front of the case, like most cases, then install an 80mm fan to draw air over the drives. [00:47] i notice is the hotness because it's a laptop [00:47] shpook: do you get any error messages? [00:47] shpook: wheen you connect [00:47] syntaxerror55: and you call that major? :P nobody's perfect [00:47] dreamnid, deluge supports monitoring folders right? [00:47] syntaxerror55 that doesn't mean it's wrong I'd guess.. [00:47] syntaxerror55: according to most style guides I know, the comma would be optional in this place. [00:47] Question: I want to download the whole Ubuntu APT repository, to install on several offline computers. [00:47] mohbana: Let me double check [00:47] michalski: soundray: Freakingme: I wasn't reading it the way you guys were. [00:47] Is there a standard/best way of doing that? [00:47] i mean i feel its heat on my laps [00:47] syntaxerror55: I agree it's not beautiful English, but it's not a typo. [00:47] AnRkey: the exit command does not work.

[00:47] syntaxerror55 dont you worry, it isn't too good [00:47] omg Ubuntu says when i try to install fedora etc that it does n't have enough space for '/' when i select install in free space. please help me [00:48] mohbana: Yes, you can [00:48] hi all i was looking into running my own irc server, does anyone have any info on that [00:48] dreamnid: lol honestly, I barely know what I'm doing. I just assumed it would show up under "Network" in "Places." :-/ [00:48] and was used to be cooler when runing on winXP [00:48] (Especially with minimal trouble on the computers to install on?) [00:48] shachaf: how do you plan to carry it around ? [00:48] neko: how much cooler? [00:48] Shpook: hmmm [00:48] syntaxerror55: read carefully :) [00:48] tacone: A portable hard drive (80GB). [00:48] shachaf: why do you want the WHOLE apt repo? isnt it like 20gig? [00:48] ThipThip, end [00:48] neko: 2.6.22 is slightly wasteful on modern CPUs. The hardy kernel will be better in that respect. [00:48] ThipThip, quit [00:48] Shpook: So wait, did you follow the client instructions for the link I sent you? [00:48] shachaf: there is apt-proxy package, worth a look [00:49] Shpook, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/ [00:49] he could mirror it. [00:49] shachaf: I think you ahve to look into the apt-cache package [00:49] Shpook, http://www.debianadmin.com/mount-network-file-systems-nfssamba-in-ubuntu.html [00:49] near the whole computer is cool when not doing heavy audio processing on winXP [00:49] shachaf: actually, ignore what I said :-P [00:49] Shpook: http://www.techthrob.com/tech/sshfshowto.php [00:49] dreamnid: Not yet, I was still reading through that and sshfs [00:49] AnRkey: Nope and nope. Is there really no way to include ctrl-c in a script? [00:49] !aptoncd | shachaf [00:49] shachaf: 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 [00:49] shachaf: apt-cacher actually [00:50] and just browsing on ubuntu make the computer hot enough to make me not able to have babies [00:50] dreamnid, where is it? [00:50] but that's not whole. [00:50] ThipThip, no [00:50] okey that some kernel issue then ? [00:50] How do I use cd record to *try* and burn an image? [00:50] ThipThip: what was wrong with my suggestion? [00:50] I guess even wget could work [00:50] ThipThip, you can end a process [00:50] or is there's another way to see what the problem is [00:50] tacone: There's also apt-mirror. [00:50] AnRkey, nemilar: Thanks, Now how do I decide what to use? :-P [00:50] ThipThip, with signals [00:50] mohbana: http://download.deluge-torrent.org/index.php?dir=ubuntu/gutsy/0.5.8.2/&file=deluge-torrent_0.5.8.2-1_i386.gutsy.deb [00:50] CrazyWulf: cdrecord -vv dev=/dev/scd0 speed=8 some.iso [00:50] how can I tell which IRQ's are being used on my system? [00:50] ThipThip: kill -s 15 pid [00:50] soundray: It doesnt [00:50] Shpook, do you have windows computers on your network? [00:50] dreamnid, ive got deluge where about is monitoring folder [00:51] is there an AVI converter that works on ubuntu, its to burn stuff to dvd [00:51] Ideally I would eventually put this on one of the computers, and let it serve the packages to the rest. [00:51] soundray: It doesn't seem to work. Everything leaves it sitting there. Until I manuall press ctrl-C [00:51] mohbana: If you look in preference [00:51] *manually [00:51] hello! im new to ubuntu can anyone help me find a converter for video files??? [00:51] mohbana: Under the Autoload section [00:51] AnRkey: One, but it doesn't need to be accessed. [00:51] this hardy kernel is something available for us ubuntu user ? [00:51] ThipThip: are you using the correct process id? [00:51] jstarcher: cat /proc/interrupts [00:51] bruce_: from what to what? [00:51] bruce_: avidemux [00:51] Shpook, does the windows pc need to access anything? [00:51] for avi to mp4 [00:51] neko: yes, from April (date of the next release, Ubuntu Hardy Heron) [00:52] bascule, thx === Kozaru|away is now known as Kozaru [00:52] soundray: How can my script know what the correct process ID is? [00:52] Does anyone know how to use ndsiwrapper? [00:52] AnRkey: Not really, maybe a text document very rarely, but that can be e-mailed [00:52] No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/scd0'. Cannot open or use SCSI driver. [00:52] okey then i will keep the computer on a table until april ;) [00:52] syntaxerror55: in reference to that i need something to convert AVI to dvd ...type :P to burn [00:52] hope it will be better on managing power [00:52] how do I stop XGL from loading with a session? [00:52] Is it reasonable to install Ubuntu to a removable drive? How would I typically boot to that, via a CD? [00:52] Okay, some how or another my resolution is a bit off. [00:52] bruce_: I'm not sure about that, you could try avidemux, but I'm not sure about what that tool does. [00:53] Shpook: It depends... sshfs, the transmission will be encrypted [00:53] By, like 3 pixels :/ [00:53] Shpook, then use samba's smb shares. SMB is what windows uses and it works just as well as nfs and ssh [00:53] CrazyWulf: try dev=/dev/hdc or dev=/dev/hdd [00:53] Shpook: if it's an intranet, then if with windows machines use Samba, if without windows machines use NFS; if over the internet, sshfs [00:53] How do I set it back to default that ubuntu found? [00:53] All I really want it for my script to check if a window with a particular title exists before opening a new window with the same title. I'm shocked that it is this complicated. [00:53] dreamnid, i cant find it ubuntu installed 0.5.4.1 ... probablly doesnt have it [00:53] shpook: samba if you want to share with windows... nfs I think is the easiest [00:53] michalski: I was just trying to get him to say more fo the question so someone could help him. :P [00:53] ok ill check it out.. thanx [00:53] anyone having trouble with 7.10 server edition on x64 giving segmentation faults on various binaries (ld, cc1) [00:53] ThipThip: it can look it up in ps output, it could use killall to refer to the process by name, or the process you want to interrupt may have left its pid in /var/run/ [00:53] mohbana, I'm sorry? [00:53] ThipThip: use py-orbit [00:53] ex-chat [00:53] anyone? [00:53] Shpook, ssh is nice for slow links as it compresses data that is transmitted [00:53] dreamnid, tis the version of deluge i have [00:53] syntaxerror55: haha atleast some people are willing to admit it [00:53] I have figured out how to use devilspie to simply close all windows with the titles in question, but then it stays open (which could be useful for future ventures) but for now I just want it to close so that my script can open the new windows. [00:53] g'night all [00:53] is there an AVI converter that works on ubuntu, its to burn stuff to dvd? [00:53] man [00:54] hello may i ask a question about CPU regognizing [00:54] that was a bust [00:54] mohbana: I did link you to the newest version [00:54] lazkapital: yea sure [00:54] ag0g0girl: not work? [00:54] !ask | lazkapital [00:54] lazkapital: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:54] dreamnid, i prefer to use apt to install [00:54] how do I stop XGL from loading with a session? [00:54] well i have a 1 processor but it show 2 cpu in system monitor [00:54] It'll only be via local intranet, and I'm not too worried about encryption. [00:54] mohbana: ok [00:54] ThipThip: just do a killall devilspie then (although if there's a pid file in /var/run, that would be a cleaner solution) [00:55] my cpu is p4 3.2ghz [00:55] mohbana: yeah, deluge used to have a deb repository, but they've stopped updating it [00:55] lazkapital: is it dual core? [00:55] lazkapital: you probably have a dual core processor (1 processor/2 sorting sections) [00:55] no it isnt [00:55] soundray: I would, but see when one runs devilspie, is just chills with a blinking cursor and doesn't go back to a regular prompt until ctrl-c [00:55] Okay, so I'll follow this link: http://www.debianadmin.com/mount-network-file-systems-nfssamba-in-ubuntu.html, and report back to you guys. [00:55] dreamnid, do you have share torrents? [00:55] lazkapital: is it hyper-threading? or hyper something? [00:55] between windows and linux [00:56] i want to open mdb file which is access database ? which tool should i use [00:56] mohbana: Share torrents? [00:56] lazkapital: it will emulate two processors by hyperthreading. You can disable that in the BIOS setup [00:56] omg Ubuntu says when i try to install fedora etc that it does n't have enough space for '/' when i select install in free space. please help me [00:56] protcront: there's limited support for that; check out kexi (a KDE app). [00:56] mohbana: oh, no [00:56] protcront, try open office [00:56] how can i learn if it is hyper-threading or hyper [00:56] Anyone know how to change the amount of a touchpad used for scrolling in the config file [00:56] dreamnid, AnRkey, nemilar: Thank you very much for your help. :-) [00:56] Shpook: np [00:56] bascule: both giving same message again [00:56] whitewomen: be sure you have enough space OVERALL on your hard disk [00:56] didnt work with kexi and not with openoffice [00:56] CrazyWulf: sudo cdrecord --scanbus [00:57] Why does my cron entry "* */1 * * *" run every minute? [00:57] anyone? [00:57] protcront: out of luck then, I'm afraid. [00:57] mohbana: didnt work with kexi and not with openoffice [00:57] ThipThip: you can't possibly have tried all my suggestion in the time it took you to reply. [00:57] thx anyway i will try to disable hyperthreading at bios in next start [00:57] Hey, does anybody know why when i play movies, they're coming out in dull colours? Basically no colours at all actually...but the little preview of them as icons show full colour and all :S [00:57] dreamnid, is installing the package the same as using apt? [00:57] lazkapital: why would you do that? [00:57] Hi. [00:57] soundray: Of course I did. :-) [00:57] Reasking --- is there an AVI converter that works on ubuntu, its to burn stuff to dvd? [00:57] mohbana: Pretty much... it will be listed in synaptic [00:57] I've got a question. [00:57] !hi | AlexKibler [00:57] AlexKibler: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:58] cpu usage is is about 90% alltime [00:58] mohbana: and you can remove the .deb package through apt-get remove [00:58] lazkapital: thats not hyperthreading [00:58] soundray: Kill / killall / any other command does not work after typing devilspie until one interrupts with ctrl-c [00:58] michalski: I'm leaning towards That'd be nice, since dvd isn't well supported.

[01:16] GreyWolfe: have you tried using supergrubdisk to try to repair grub [01:16] syntaxerror55> resize the drive [01:16] mooglinux_: Sure have [01:16] RequinB5 resize [01:16] what is wrong with it? [01:16] GreyWolfe, can't boot? [01:16] PyChild: Getting error 21 when I try to boot, I have a /boot partition that GRUB should be pointed at [01:16] BLAH [01:17] BLAH back [01:17] BLAH [01:17] ...is now trendy [01:17] How do I uncompress a LZH file in Ubuntu? [01:17] ubuntulog: is also trendy... [01:17] GreyWolfe: next would be to try to edit the grub file, cant remember off the top of my head the path of it [01:17] syntaxerror55> RequinB5> is there another tool? i have virtual box installed by the way [01:17] syntaxerror55> RequinB5> hello? [01:17] rhino7: You could always try the GParted LiveCD [01:17] solid_liq: why not blah in this ubuntu channel? [01:17] mooglinux_: I know where to find it, what changes? [01:18] !patience | rhino7 [01:18] rhino7: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:18] desertc: install lha [01:18] i tghought you left [01:18] thought* did you? [01:18] desertc, enable the universe repostories and search for lhz in synaptic [01:18] GreyWolfe: it sounds as if the path to the boot is incorrect or else it is not recognizing your partitions [01:18] tonyyarusso: tried that - multiverse repository says the package is missing or obsoleted [01:18] !fdisk [01:18] rhino7: I didn't leave. Again, you could always try the GParted LiveCD [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:19] PyChild: I'll give it a shot, thanks! [01:19] is there anyone who uses Xubuntu who can tell me why i got moofed from my wireless WPA personal while in the middle of an update... this is 7.10 [01:19] GreyWolfe, indeed it sounds as if you changed a drive connector [01:19] desertc: odd - installs fine on Hardy [01:19] syntaxerror55 but other people are pushing you up [01:19] desertc, u welcome [01:19] OK, here comes another seemingly dumb one: Nautilus won't let me resize to less than 200px wide. None of the gconf settings seem to reference this. Is there a way? [01:19] GreyWolfe: well im afraid i have to be going sorry i cant help you more. anything to do with grub will have lots of forum posts on ubuntuforums, if you havent looked there i would try that [01:19] is there another tool than gparted? [01:19] rhino7: I'm not trying to argue with you. Just help you. [01:20] !info fdisk | rhino7 [01:20] PyChild, mooglinux_: I thin I may have fond the solution, it looks like the menu.lst file is pointing to the wrong HD [01:20] rhino7: Package fdisk does not exist in gutsy [01:20] GreyWolfe, the livecd gives you access to the harddrive? [01:20] hmm [01:20] desertc: won't it open with file-roller? [01:20] PyChild: hmm - not found either. maybe I will try another repo source. [01:20] PyChild: Yup, have to run nautilus as the superuser [01:20] you better [01:20] rhino7: type 'man fdisk' into a terminal [01:20] syntax error - trying to get fdisk? [01:20] desertc, look in the restricted repo [01:20] my wireless just did it again, it sais... download rate "unknown" [01:20] desertc, actually enable all the repos [01:20] why is 7.10 wireless failing??? [01:21] PyChild: all repos enabled... I had set a non-default download source though (mtu.edu) [01:21] bad_cables: rt chipset? [01:21] rhino7: I'm not required to stay here and help you. Comments like "you better" are just making me more annoyed then wanting to help. [01:21] when i boot the spalsh screen doesnt show up i see NOTHING and then it goes into gdm fine and i log in [01:21] any idea how to fix that [01:21] desertc, still no cake? [01:21] sytnaxerror55 rhino7 - I'd suggest downloading a knoppix 5.2 iso and burning it - fdisk is on there and you can choose not to have GUI in a pinch - good all around backup cd [01:21] pychild - updating... [01:22] i have fdisk in ubuntu [01:22] #mplayer [01:22] viator: go through /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete "splash" wherever you find it. [01:22] rhino7 - then use that -.- [01:22] delete splash? [01:22] PyChild: Any ideas for a fix? [01:22] RequinB5: I already told him to look at the man page for fdisk to learn how to use it [01:22] RequinB5> is there gui interface or just texts? [01:22] Hey guys, ive got 2 Hd's in my machine, but the non booted one shows up on the desktop, i assume so that i can quickly access its files,. how do i make it NOT show up on the desktop but still hav it mounted? [01:22] it comes by default [01:22] GreyWolfe, yes i had that problem once [01:22] rhino7: It's CLI [01:22] soundray: is is the linksys wmpA55 i think... the [01:22] rhino7 - just text, but look at the manual [01:23] PyChild, tonyyarusso: yes, the download source did not have the packages. I switched to the US Primary and they appeared [01:23] grekkos, do this, first [01:23] its pretty straight forward rhino7, just did it last night [01:23] desertc: ah [01:23] Hi PyChild [01:23] PyChild, tonyyarusso: I guess I am all set! :) [01:23] lol [01:23] soundray: let me lspci\ [01:23] desertc, way to go [01:23] grekkos, hi [01:23] RequinB5> i might mass up things [01:23] PyChild: false alarm i guess :) [01:24] GreyWolfe, sorry as i was saiyng, do this please [01:24] soundray: RT2561 [01:24] rhino7: You might mess things up in GParted too. [01:24] GreyWolfe, first lets find out the root devise [01:24] rhino7 - there is always that possibility when formatting an HDD ... [01:24] could be /dev/hda0, /dev/hdb2 etcetera [01:24] bad_cables: those devices are a major pain. Best thing you can do is replace it with an Intel 2200BG for $10 [01:24] RequinB5: why do people think GUIs make it impossible to mess up? [01:24] where it says quiet splash [01:24] should it say somthing else [01:25] syntaxerror55: maybe the same thinking that made windows always made you press 'ok' before a program or desktop crashed [01:25] viator: it should only say "quiet" (although you could delete that as well to see more boot messages) [01:25] GreyWolfe, please "less /etc/fstab" [01:26] syntaxerror55> RequinB5> why wouldn't gparted work and keep on searching for hd? i am trying to install another OS here and stubborn ubuntu. it sucks. i don't have all night [01:26] PyChild, In a terminal? [01:26] How do I make my own window border theme? [01:26] is compiz available on a liveCD? how to enable it? I just got hold of an e-machine that supposedly have a 3-D graphics [01:26] hello everybody... [01:26] GreyWolfe, ofcourse [01:26] Hello, can anyone help me with some problems I have having? [01:26] rhino7: we aren't GParted experts. I suggested using the gParted LiveCD, but you kept persisting about using other tools. [01:26] !anyone | mentula [01:26] mentula: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:26] rhino7 - i wouldn't know exactly why, but i got the same problem as you 2 days ago and used fdisk to fix it... [01:26] is there a channel ore maybe somebody here who can help me with wine sound problems? [01:26] PyChild, Alright, now what? [01:26] mentula, whats up? [01:26] !wine [01:26] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[01:27] any one here? [01:27] GreyWolfe, let's see one of these devices point to '/' [01:27] I am using, wine but when I try to install some files, I always get an error. [01:27] there are 1195 people here, tim_ [01:27] RequinB5> how woul di know how many mb = gb etc? [01:27] !wine [01:27] tim_: there's 1165 people here. [01:27] damaltor, #wine [01:27] tim_ no, messages just appear by themselves :P [01:27] bod_: thx [01:27] RequinB5: lol [01:27] GreyWolfe, usually the first one [01:27] I am using, wine but when I try to install some files, I always get an error. [01:27] damaltor, also look here for channels [01:27] !channels | damaltor [01:27] damaltor: 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 [01:27] so what are u talking about guys ?? u all are having problems with ubuntu and asking how to solve em? [01:27] kk [01:28] rhino7 - it will give you a few different units such as blocks/cylinders. best thing to do is look at the manual [01:28] tim_: some of us are asking, some of us are helping [01:28] PyChild: I have no idea what this is telling me [01:28] syntaxerror55 RequinB he wants you guys to do it for him [01:28] tim_, thats wot this place is for ;) [01:28] tim_: Some are just idling, some have questions, some are helping. [01:28] I am using, wine but when I try to install some files, I always get an error. [01:28] GreyWolfe, patience [01:28] i want to know why my wireless keeps going out in ubuntu [01:28] how can i update? [01:28] wtf [01:28] ={ [01:28] how can i end the log for fdisk? [01:28] So what is the ratio to these who are asking to these who are helping about 1asking and 10 helping ? [01:28] How do I make my close button be red and the minimize button blue without writing a completely new theme? (GNOME, GTK, etc) [01:28] th0r: ah, well, I'd only risk that if I was at his machine to fix things if they go wrong. He's going to have to man fdisk himself. [01:28] mentula, best to go here #wine [01:29] Does anybody know if it is possible to resize a nautilus window to less than 200x200? [01:29] bad_cables: the driver for rt61 devices are poor (the Windows ones are just as bad, btw). Get a different device. [01:29] syntaxerror55 :) [01:29] GreyWolfe, im no profesional either, look for a record with a lone "/" [01:29] ok thanks [01:29] or the help file [01:29] I run my SSH daemon on port 9998 instead of 22 -- when I connect I do: "ssh -p 9998 user@host" -- how do I use scp with this? "scp -P 9998 FILE user@host:DIR" doesn't work [01:29] tim_> no, 10 asking / 1 helping [01:29] np [01:29] geokeratz, thats always the case,.,.;) [01:29] rhino7 - it should say iirc [01:29] soundray... thanks! [01:29] bod_> lol [01:29] rhino7 - what is on your screen [01:29] tim_: your questions are offtopic. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please [01:30] hello.. every time I try and open/copy a files larger than a 1mb or so from an SMB location, I get a transfer error.. the connection appears to be 98% quality however [01:30] benanz1: I'm pretty sure that's the correct format [01:30] benanz1 try ip:9998 [01:30] I need to buy 802.11g PC card that supports rfmon. Any suggestions on vendor/type of the card? i've been googling for an hour now... [01:30] Linux needs at least one partition, namely for its root file system. [01:30] It can use swap files and/or swap partitions, but the latter are more [01:30] wassa, pastebin your error [01:30] I need to buy 802.11g PC card that supports rfmon. Any suggestions on vendor/type of the card? i've been googling for an hour now... [01:30] !pastebin | wassa [01:30] wassa: 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) [01:30] GreyWolfe, look i'm trying to find out here is your /boot [01:30] benanz1 on second thought...it is an uppercase -P 9998 that you need [01:30] GreyWolfe, in other words your boot 'device' [01:31] bod_ paste what exactly？the error? [01:31] well that makes me feel alot better soundray... thanks a million [01:31] can you tell me how to create unpartitioned space of about 10 gb? [01:31] th0r: yes that fixed it [01:31] rhino7 - you are at the manual [01:31] thanks [01:31] wassa, yep the error,. its difficult for us to fix something if we dont no whats broken,.,.;) [01:31] every time i try to burn and verify a DVD, I get a "no tracks to verify found" after burning the DVD, what does this mean? [01:31] rhino7: you're asking that? [01:31] RequinB5> if prss enter it goes to next line [01:31] anyway I was here for a question myself, I have troubles starting gnome [01:32] what? [01:32] How do I acces Linux file system from Windows???? [01:32] wot?* [01:32] rhino7 - fdisk should have a few sample prompts for you [01:32] rhino7: you're asking how to create partition? [01:32] PyChild, what sort of problems? [01:32] tim_, from the same computer? [01:32] yes [01:32] tim_: try ext2fsd [01:32] he wants to get another partition to install another OS [01:32] is a confusing format [01:32] nemilar> duh [01:32] rhino7: try gparted [01:32] nemilar> OMG [01:32] nemilar - gparted is lagging for him [01:32] tim_> google it and you will find many ways [01:33] bod_ it doesn't start right, even in failsafe mode the desktop, the panel nautilus nothings starts up [01:33] nemilar> i tried that it keeps on searching for HD [01:33] hello world! [01:33] bod_ the only thing that starts up is tilda [01:33] rhino7: from liveCD ? [01:33] nano__> hi [01:33] !hi nano [01:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi nano - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:33] PyChild, if you have acces to a terminal, try reinstalling nautilus [01:33] bod_, tilda is like xterm [01:33] i hate sundays [01:33] :( [01:33] hello nano [01:33] PyChild, dunno what xterm is either,.,.;) [01:33] sundays are nice [01:34] nemilar> no live cd, how would live cd be any different? beside i got no cd left. i got it from synaptic or something retard search area [01:34] i got internet [01:34] bod_, like gnome-terminal, a terminal [01:34] * bascule goes to a late night store [01:34] I am really interested in securing my SSH daemon since it's the only port I want to have open on my router. I run it on 9998 instead of 22 and have enabled Pubkey auth and disable passwords -- is there anything else I should be concerned about? [01:34] i don't think i have ever received so many greetings in this chat room before [01:34] i hope all of u are doing wel [01:34] *well [01:34] benanz1 since I moved ssh off 22 I have seen NO illegit access attempts [01:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53828/ [01:34] PyChild, if you press alt+f2 you should get a dialog box xome up, and you can type a command in there and select the box that says run in terminal [01:35] benanz1: just have strong passwords, you'll be fine [01:35] benanz1: fail2ban or banhost is worth looking into, auto bans ip for 5 failed login attempts [01:35] most of the brute-force attacks against SSH come from botnets that just search for open port 22's [01:35] benanz1 then look at sshfs...it will allow you to map a folder via the ssh port [01:35] sure [01:35] bod_ alt+f2 doesn't work, if it wasn't for tilda i couldn't do a thing!! [01:35] Does anybody know wether gdm starts X or is it X that needs to be started for gdm to work? [01:35] can anyone help with a shoutdown problem ? [01:35] when i type gdesklets, it can't connect to the daemon. any ideas? [01:36] benanz1: http://www.techthrob.com/tech/sshfshowto.php <-- sshfs tutorial if you are interested [01:36] th0r: I have been using gnome-vfs to mount over ssh, is that the same thing? [01:36] bod_, alt-f2 is provided by gnome-panel isn't it? [01:36] any idea why I　would be getting timeout errors when copying a file from smb to local [01:36] benanz1 not sure...I don't use gnome [01:36] Oh OK [01:36] PyChild, do you have the GDM login screen? i seem to remember there being a way to switch to command line from there [01:36] PyChild: Sorry about that, washing machine started going nuts, but I see the one you are talking about [01:36] say if i wanted to change my splash screen where would i change that theme [01:36] HELLO? anytone want to "VOLUNTEER" TO HELP ME? [01:36] wassa: are you dropping any packets between the two? [01:36] anyne* [01:36] anyone* [01:36] rhino7: you're not paying, so it's all volunteer, no quotes [01:36] hi, i've been trying to apply this Load_Cycle_Count fix here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3675960&postcount=26 ) but when I reboot my hdd starts clicking again. The hdparm settings don't get applied automaticlaly, i have to do it manually... anyone know why? i have copied the file everywhere it says to. [01:37] !anyone | rhino7 [01:37] rhino7: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:37] bod_ i HAVE shell access, i even started xchat from my shell, that's not my problem [01:37] i don't think so.. how would I know? [01:37] bod_ wait a min [01:37] rhino7 - calm down, we've already told you what program you need to use [01:37] rhino7: I saw several people helping you. Talking like that to the channel makes you look ungrateful [01:37] GreyWolfe, so where is it? [01:37] PyChild, in the shell,. type sudo apt-get reinstall nautilus [01:37] must be in /dev [01:37] wassa: ping from one to the other [01:37] PyChild: unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 [01:38] bod_, i'll keep it in mind, but i'm almost sure its something else thanks [01:38] PyChild: That what I am looking for? [01:38] that thing actually [01:38] PyChild: right, likely no need to reinstall nautilus [01:38] PyChild, are you using compiz, try disabling it [01:38] what is the consequence of being ungrateful?and i am wasting electricity and time by being here [01:38] bod_, tribaldata no compiz [01:38] Nemilar.. there is a ping app isn't there? [01:38] th0r: i don't know if you remember me, but I remember having a conversation with you about dual-boot vista and faulty conexant sound driver for vista [01:38] wassa: yeah, in terminal, just 'ping ip_address' [01:39] rhino7: I, for one, will be less inclined to try and answer your question [01:39] nano__ yup;;I remember [01:39] th0r: so did you get a chance to check it ou? [01:39] *out [01:39] bod_, tritium what really surprises me is that when i type gnome-panel things happens, not even a segfault message or something [01:39] wassa: ping your windows machine...let it run for a minute or so, and then hit control+C, and it will output the statistics. if there's any packet loss, or if the average time is really high, that could be the source of your problems [01:39] nano__ not really...I haven't been into windows in about two months....trying to avoid it [01:39] bod_ tritium i mean nothing [01:39] PyChild, im stumped then m8,. sorry,. i can only assume that its nautilus or GNOME itself, but i dont no if you can reinstall GNOME [01:39] th0r: :) [01:39] how many hops will it do? or should i cancel it [01:39] I'm trying to get some restricted devices installed on my fresh (no internet yet) gutsy box, but the restricted device manager isn't helping... one says can't unmount the CD-ROM (which is mounted) the other says the package is not in the software source [01:39] bod_, thanks [01:39] ok [01:40] why are you trying to control me? i can quote or not up to me. are you illiterate? what do you want from me? [01:40] PyChild, thats because the only thing that is broken is your graphical interface,. the hard coding is still working [01:40] nano__ I do have a note in my 'help.files' folder so the next time I go into windows I will know how to change the drivers [01:40] PyChild: when did this start? [01:40] tritium, today [01:40] PyChild: after what events? [01:40] wassa: let it send a bunch of packets, so you get a good...uh..you know, statistics, and all that. [01:40] th0r: i fixed all of my sound problem by recompiling alsa from scratch [01:40] rhino7: you're being very rude [01:40] hi, i've been trying to apply this Load_Cycle_Count fix here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3675960&postcount=26 ) but when I reboot my hdd starts clicking again. The hdparm settings don't get applied automaticlaly, i have to do it manually... anyone know why? i have copied the file everywhere it says to. [01:40] tritium, heavy messing with apache2 [01:40] nemilar yeah...leave him alone or else [01:40] lol [01:40] wassa, ping -c 5 will do 5 hops [01:40] PyChild: that should not affect it in any way. [01:40] th0r: yeah he's goin on ignore [01:40] tritium, heavy messing with apache2 AND then much later rebooting [01:41] PyChild: did you edit any of the wrong files? [01:41] th0r: although now my when my computer boots it does so into console, i don't have gui unless i run startx [01:41] wassa: is there any packet loss? [01:41] nano__ I tried that trick also...but it didn't help [01:41] PyChild: unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0, not sure if this is what we are after though. [01:41] wassa: are you sharing from vista? if so, I found this in the forums, may be of some help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586587 [01:41] 101 packets.. 0% loss [01:41] wassa, ur connection is fine,.,.hhhmmm [01:41] wassa: that rules out network issues then [01:41] yeah [01:41] GreyWolfe, yes but i have no idea what to do with unionfs i only know IDE harddrives and can try to work with satas but unionfs? im lost -_- [01:41] How do I get manpages for C installed? I tried apt-cache search c "man pages" [01:41] wassa: does it transfer data at all, or no? [01:41] my name is rhino7. see what happens when you latch onto petty things? you wasted the mood and work mood [01:41] wassa, can you use/play the file from where it is eg. is the file corrupt? [01:42] nano__ in suse that would be an easy fix...but I don't know how to fix it in ubuntu. In suse run level 3 is command line, run level 5 is X. But in ubuntu all run levels should take you to X [01:42] stop changing the subject i need to make gparted work [01:42] its been doing in any file larger than a few hundred k [01:42] I'm trying to get some restricted devices installed on my fresh (no internet yet) gutsy box, but the restricted device manager isn't helping... one says can't unmount the CD-ROM (which is unmounted) the other says the package is not in the software source. I can type the exact errors if needed. [01:42] tinman: install the manpages-dev package [01:42] tinman: doc packages usually have the extension -doc [01:42] files aren't corrupt. [01:42] th0r: in ubuntu init file does not exist, instead there is runlevel which is set up in /etc/events [01:42] tritium, i don't think i edited ay wrong file, but there is a weird file in my home [01:42] okey, -doc or manpages-dev? [01:42] th0r : you don't use ubunut? [01:42] PyChild: which is? [01:42] *ubunutu? [01:42] my wife was trying to work on a work doc.. and it would only load the first 2 pages of a 10 page doc.

[02:26] 1191 users y nadie me respondio -.- [02:26] bod_: if you wish to specify a specific resolution, you'd specify vga=XYZ, e.g., vga=792 [02:26] xvinfo says: no adaptors present [02:26] bod_: yes, that one [02:26] hey all... has anyone been able to use smb4k to connect to a vista box? [02:26] bod_: actually, you'd list them down below on the "defoptions" line [02:26] tritium, where abouts on that line would i type vga=792 ? [02:27] tritium, oh [02:27] bod_: append it to the end of the defoptions line [02:27] i can connect to xp boxes fine.. but it keeps asking for authentication on the vista ne. i have disabled the firewall and used everyone as the group that has read/write access [02:27] Is it better to install Ubuntu desktop and just setup what I can to get my server running [02:27] tritium, im kind off new to this about a month of linux,. what exactly do i need to do? [02:27] could someone please test http://sapper.mine.nu:27950 [02:27] synaptics keeps telling me that one of the packages that i am trying to install has some missing dependancies, but actually, the dependancy software was previously installed via compilation, anyone know how to get around this? [02:27] bod_: after you've edited the file, and saved it correctly, run "sudo update-grub" to have those options take affect [02:28] bod_: just add that vga=792 business to the end of that line, with only one space between what's already there, and your new text [02:28] jackfusio1: better than what? I guess if you are asking, then the answer is probably yes [02:28] tritium, do you mean the line i said, or the defoptions line? [02:28] jackfusio1: it will work just the same I think [02:28] bod_: defoptions line [02:29] tritium, ok hang on [02:29] bod_: refer the the example in the file itself, in the line right above the one you'll edit [02:30] is there any system for restoreing files sent to the trash folder? [02:30] then installing ubuntu server, because no one can tell me any thing about ubuntu server. sorry if I am being rude. [02:30] Ashfire908: you just open the Trash window [02:30] Ashfire908: in the lower right corner of your screen [02:31] Ashfire908: just copy and paste the file back to where it be [02:31] dreamnid, i'm not asking how to get to the trash folder. i'm not an idiot.

[02:31] tritium, sorry but im not sure which line still,. could you please look at this pastebin and tell me how many lines down is the line im after :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53832/ [02:31] jesran: Ubuntu server is more or less the same as the desktop. Just sans GUI by default. [02:31] Ashfire908: calm down. He told you where to retreive file sent to the trash, as you asked about. [02:31] jackfusio1: like I said, you should install the desktop, get used to ubuntu. I think it will be clearer to you once you get to know the ubuntu packaging system [02:31] i've just followed a guide to install a linux 2.6.24 kernel on my ubuntu gutsy.. which worked fantastic :) but now I don't have my proprietry nvidia graphics.. im presuming installing the nvidia drivers from their website is not the best way to get it working.. can i rebuild the restricted drivers package?

[02:32] Ashfire908, just pull the file out of trash folder onto desktop to restore it [02:32] Hi. my ubuntu is working fine, but When i press alt+Ctrl+F1 or F2...., then my text mode is not looking as normal. the fonts are larger, and the screen is looking like too zoomed? how to fix it?? [02:32] jackfusio1: Ubuntu server is more or less the same as the desktop. Just sans GUI by default. [02:32] jesran: sorry [02:32] when I run aptitude search the output is truncated. Is there an easy way to have it not do that? [02:32] Ashfire908: it doesn't look like there is a feature like that. I looked for that too, but I don't think ubuntu has it. Its just another folder, you gota do it manually [02:32] Flannel: and still different kernel, yes? [02:32] hi, how do I put something to load with my user [02:32] * tritium things there is a -server kernel variety. [02:32] could someone please test http://sapper.mine.nu:27950 [02:33] tritium: Yeah, it installsthe -server kernel by default instead of -generic [02:33] cool... i just use desktop as my server and it is fine FWIW [02:33] tritium, i think i found it line 3? :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53833/ [02:33] bod_: you got it! [02:33] exit [02:33] falconer: pipe it into less, aptitude search [whatever] | less [02:33] I have been using ubuntu desktop for about 1 year now and ubuntu server has better support for raid then desktop. [02:33] there is a diferent terminal that I use called yakuake, and I want to load when I log in [02:33] Flannel, I did that [02:33] sapperjanko2: it just hangs [02:33] which file to run a command at user login? [02:33] tritium, shall i edit the vga=791 or add another vga=793 to the end? [02:34] am i the only one who noticed that gnome-pilot is a horrible program? [02:34] bod_: don't edit the example. That won't do any good. Add what you want to the defoptions line at the end. [02:34] bascule: that would b right, just bout every port i seem to try must be filtered [02:34] Flannel, I should say, the lines are cut off at the end. [02:34] how to modify the screen resolution? [02:34] i got only 800x600 at the max [02:34] brunoskrebs: system->preferences->sessions then the add button [02:34] >:o [02:34] falconer: Oh, odd. I see. Well, no idea.

Now, run "sudo update-grub" [02:36] well guys, im gunna go have a break from this damn server... and a friend that lives local knows alot bout the server [02:36] jackfusio1: Its looking for the alternate CD. The server CD doesn't contain desktop packages === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [02:36] jackfusio1: You could also just wait until after your install is complete, then install them from the internet.

[02:51] ok all, i think i now have it workin.... can someone try http://sapper.mine.nu:27950 when i restarted the router it changed the damn IP on me [02:51] bod_: the background behind the desktop background [02:51] nice, Shpool :_P [02:52] Does anyone know how well Wine does the steam client and Source engine games? [02:52] nickrud, im not sure what you mean, do i just type the command into a terminal? [02:52] :-D [02:52] bod_: yes [02:52] sapperjanko: Works :-P [02:52] deadlylife : depends on your video card [02:52] I have one harddisk with 33 bad blocks (this number does not seem to increase with time, scanned several times). If there are/will be no more bad sectors , will the install program automatically format the swap and ext3 partitions so that these sectors are avoided? (will the filesystem be stable, if no new bad blocks appear?) [02:52] nickrud, with or without typing "root window" ? [02:52] the gutsy live dvd vs live cd .. clearly a huge difference in what's included ... is compiz fusion on the live cd or do i need to go w/ the live dvd for that? [02:52] deadlylife: it works, but performance is better in windows imo [02:52] wow dualbooting ubuntu with windows was so easy... [02:52] Aww, I'm Shpoo1, not Shpook. My other computer must still be logged on. [02:52] if you want windows games grab cygwin [02:52] bod_: with, that's the string we're looking for in the output of xdpyinfo [02:52] if you want windows games, use windows [02:52] nickrud, ok il give it a go [02:53] can you use the real windows DLLs in wine for better performance?? [02:53] jordan, they are real window dlls for the most part [02:53] Next question: Any guides on battery optimization anywhere? [02:53] willy: cygwin ?? [02:53] dreamid really? [02:53] green-_: compiz fusion is included on live cd [02:53] i had windows 2008 server installed on my other laptop, i popped in a ubuntu disc, installed it, and after the installation i had the choice of booting either operating system [02:53] nickrud, root window id: 0x1a5 depth of root window: 24 planes [02:53] jordan: I believe so [02:53] jordan: Although I haven't followed your convo, so you might be talking about something else [02:53] bod_: so, 24 bit color. 8 bits of transparency [02:53] robdig: is there a simple answer to what makes up the extra 3.5 gigs on the live dvd? [02:54] dreamid hmm i thought they were mostly hacked up versions as to not violate copyright [02:54] nickrud, cheers [02:54] Hey, does anyone know a netbeans equivalent for Ubuntu that isn't as resource intensive? [02:54] jordan : I could be wrong [02:54] Is there a log of responding to pings? [02:54] tritium: Tnx [02:54] green-_: a bunch of optional packages. if you use live cd, then you just download the additional ones you want with synaptic, or apt, or aptitude... [02:54] Big-E: Eclipse? [02:54] Resource Intensive. [02:55] I am only running on 256mb RAM. [02:55] big time resource intensive [02:55] lol [02:55] sorry [02:55] robdig: fair enough, no need for the dvd for me then [02:55] At least until I can afford more ram, I need to find an alternative. [02:55] green-_: compiz fusion is installed by default btw [02:55] green-_: the dvd just has all of the main repository on it [02:55] nickrud, dreamnid, gonna check now,. rebooting,. brb [02:55] I don't like eclipse anyway, netbeans > eclipse. [02:55] green-_: (so you don't need to fetch from the internet those packages) [02:55] green-_: but it is not turned on by default :) [02:55] Big-E: Yeah, I should try NetBeans some time..... but otherwise I don't know of another IDE [02:56] Guess I may have to code out a GUI by hand. >.< [02:56] have there been any significant improvements in fonts in the last year or so? [02:56] Thanks anyway, dreamnid. [02:56] ok all, i think i now have it workin.... can someone try http://sapper.mine.nu:27950 when i restarted the router it changed the damn IP on me [02:57] how do i program stuff to make 8 bit blocks [02:57] Big-E: you might try running fluxbox instead of gnome, it uses far fewer resources, leaves more for netbeans [02:57] anyone know a way to play a video file as your background? [02:57] I am using Xfce [02:57] ok, that's kinda small [02:57] Also less resource intensive. [02:57] there's twm :) [02:57] twm? [02:58] I was thinking of running rat posion, too [02:58] poison* [02:58] tiny window manager is great [02:58] Oh, I remember what I wanted to do, and I could probably google this, but I'll ask here real quick. How would I go about setup up a local server so I can develop locally? I don't really need PHP support or anything, just the basics. [02:58] Big-E: a joke mostly. Its the window manager that X provides [02:58] whats the best language to make cool progreams with [02:58] hey guys [02:58] Oh. ^^ [02:58] python apparently [02:58] Shpoo1: sudo apt-get install apache2 , put your html in /var/www [02:59] i can get python to print hello world [02:59] Shpoo1: you'll see it at http:// [02:59] how do i change the default keyring password? [02:59] i believe ive messed up my fglrx driver, how do i get rid of everything and go back to the way it was with the restricted modules driver that came with gutsy? [02:59] nickrud: Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. [02:59] is there any front end gui's for python?

[03:00] bod_, I think that's fine [03:00] nano_, man apt-get [03:00] bod_: one sec [03:00] bod_: not a problem. You can use an image for the background for grub, it's optional [03:01] bod_: Yeah, you can ignore [03:01] dreamnid, nickrud, ok thanks guys,. gonna check if its worked,.,. brb [03:01] hello ... is there a way to remove compiz from command line? coz i chose compiz 3D settings and now my screen is black and i can only see my mouse ..anyone ? help thx [03:01] bod_ there is nothing of the sorts in there, there are options that will allow apt-get to ignore installing dependencies that it cannot fetch, but nothing that will prevent it from installing dependencies that it can [03:01] whabo : ps avx | grep compiz [03:01] !b-e | shishio [03:01] shishio: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:01] hello, is there an (iso) image in the dvd iso for booting an install with the dvd iso on another pc or harddrive? (like fedora's boot.iso) [03:02] nano_: why do you want something without the dependencies? [03:02] does anyone know the name of the program that a toolbar like the one on apple mac computers [03:02] tritium, im having probel withinstalling a specific gcc, can you help me? [03:02] dreamnid thx ... [03:02] Robotchicken1886: Avant [03:02] nickrud: i installed alsa-everything (version 1.015) from source, and i want to now install gdm but gdm has a dependency on alsa 1.013. I am using fiesty [03:02] Robotchicken1886: aka AWN [03:02] Robotchicken1886: avant-window-navigator [03:02] shishio: which one? [03:03] hmm k [03:03] cottima, what you ask makes little sense. the ubuntu iso is bootable on any pc [03:03] dreamnid, i still get "Video mode not supported" where the loading bar should be [03:03] tritium, im trying to upgradew my 3d accelated graphics driver [03:03] hey guys, looking to run windows server 2003, trying to prepare for the MCSA, any virtual machine suggestions that I can use? [03:03] nickrud: any ideas? [03:03] bod_ : really? Interesting [03:03] CokeNCode: VMWare [03:03] shishio: yes, but which compiler? [03:03] nano_: oh. You need to read up on equivs , it's a package you can install and use to create dummy packages [03:03] was trying to do a dual boot, but the drive doesn't seem to be working, so i think i'll go with this option instead [03:04] dreamnid, i think "irritating" us the word your looking for,.,.,.;) [03:04] CokeNCode: VirtualBox is also decent. [03:04] nano_: then make a dummy package for alsa, and gdm will be satisfied [03:04] nickrud: so there is no way to go about this with apt-get? [03:04] no not a web browser [03:04] bod_ : lol [03:04] thanks Big-E [03:04] bod_ : well, I would try a 800x600 mode then [03:04] nano__: no [03:04] tritium, im trying to install these:gcc [03:04] gcc-c++ (?) [03:04] kernel-devel [03:04] does anyone know the shortcut to clear a line in terminal after yyou already typed in it? [03:04] dreamnid: what next?? thx after that command [03:04] will give those a try. once i install , all my changes are saved and everything ? [03:04] its like a menu bar that has programs in it and not sure how to discribe it [03:04] whabo: well, I was going to suggest killing compiz [03:04] hey guys--I'm not getting any sound through my headphones. Speaker sound is fine. Currently running ubuntu gutsy with alsamixer. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? [03:04] its on the desktop [03:04] whabo: but I'm not sure if you'll regain your desktop [03:04] I've scoured the forums and can't find anything [03:04] dreamnid, it worked fine with the live cd,.,. should i change the vga=no. again for a 800x600 number,.,. can u give me that link again pleasse [03:05] joanki: ctrl-c ? [03:05] dreamnid: how do i do it plz thx [03:05] h ow do i make a progra, in python [03:05] CokeNCode: Why an MCSA? Go for your LPCI-1 [03:05] whabo: but all you do is take the number from the first column [03:05] can i apt-get install vmware [03:05] ? [03:05] nickrud: what if i go ahead and install gdm with alsa-utils 1.0.13 , considering i have alsa-utils-1.0.15 already installed, can i get away with this? [03:05] CokeNCode: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [03:05] whabo: and then "kill " [03:05] what will happen? [03:05] peanuts132, you cant just ask that,. you need to learn the language first [03:05] Big-E, well, i'm already half way through, but, this was for work, so I gotta do this first [03:05] fismoll8, Preferences -> select all volumes and turn them all up [03:05] i have [03:05] does anyone know the shortcut to clear a line in terminal after yyou already typed in it? [03:05] nano_: the 1.0.13 will overrwrite the 1.0.15 you have [03:05] CokeNCode: I believe yes, if you enable the "partner" repository [03:05] dreamnid thx [03:05] peanuts132, #python or #ubuntu-prgramming [03:05] there is no headphone option bardyr [03:05] joanki: [03:05] CokeNCode: True enough, I need to find work which may resort to me grabbing a stupid Micro$oft cer.t [03:05] nickrud: it will only overwrite alsa-utils..... [03:06] THANKYOU! [03:06] fismoll8, sometime the naming is a not appropriate [03:06] shishio: you mean g++ and linux-kernel-devel? [03:06] Big-E, yup! [03:06] CokeNCode: Old IT managers are dens. [03:06] dreamnid, ???? [03:06] dense* [03:06] nickrud: does that mean my alsa-lib 1.0.15 and alsa-driver 1.0.15 will really be effected? [03:06] nano__: it depends on alsa-utils ? Your machine, but I'd make an equiv [03:06] joanki: No prob [03:06] they're changing everything now tho ... the new top thing is microsoft architect [03:06] tritium, yes [03:06] in a bit, mcsa won't be worth jack [03:06] shishio: okay, well, those are the package names [03:06] nickrud: so u said the program name is equiv [03:06] nickrud: and this will allow me to do exactly what..> [03:06] nano__: equivss [03:06] Yeah, I want to grab some SANS certs. [03:07] nickrud: i suppose i can just compile gdm from source? [03:07] tritium, u know how to install them>? im so noob [03:07] * czr gives a SANS Serif cert to Big-E [03:07] Heh, thanks! [03:07] nickrud: thats a way around it i suppose, is gdm compilation a hectic process? [03:07] bod_: hmm.. try 788 [03:07] nano_: equivs that is. You will create a dummy package that provides alsa-utils and any other alsa stuff gdm depends on. You will install it with dpkg -i, and then gdm will think alsa is installed via the package manager [03:07] dreamnid, can you give me the link again please [03:08] bod_ : To what? [03:08] nano__: it's simpler than it sounds. And yes, substituting compiled stuff for packages can be very hectic [03:08] dreamnid, dw i forgot i have history,.,.lol [03:08] nickrud: thnx for your help [03:08] shishio: sudo apt-get install ... [03:08] I'm having trouble with microphone [03:09] on windows it picks up sound perfectly [03:09] dreamnid, im gonna try a few so il be bak when im out of ideas,.,.lol [03:09] but on ubuntu it gets sound at greatly reduced volume [03:09] nano__: iirc there are some samples in /usr/share/doc/equivs that you can modify easily [03:09] bod_ : sounds good [03:09] nickrud: thnx [03:09] bardyr: turned all the sounds up--still nothing [03:10] fismoll8, soundcard? [03:10] soundblaster audigy === talaren is now known as pteague [03:10] audigy se to be exact [03:10] tritium, E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:10] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[03:11] ok got another question for ya all... I just wanna know if this can be done... I got another real old PC, wont install ubuntu, or freebsd 4.8.. But i was thinking of making it a hard drive box and just run dos with a network interface.... If i do that, can i make samba connect into that instead of the drive within the server for files????? [03:12] _unnamed_: let me teach you a trick: "apt-cache search scipy" will show you the name of the ubuntu package [03:12] will it run dsl [03:12] _unnamed_: try that for numpy as well, and you'll find what you're looking for ;) [03:12] anything will run dsl [03:12] just do that [03:12] if you have an old box might wanna get puppy linux or damn small linux [03:12] hey guys--I'm not getting any sound through my headphones. Speaker sound is fine. Currently running ubuntu gutsy with alsamixer. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? [03:13] <_unnamed_> tritium, apt-get finds it just fine, my problem is that it tries to install python 2.4, but i want it to install as a mod for 2.5 [03:13] if it is too old to run debian potato, just forget about it, its a damn apple 2 [03:13] ok so im looking at a picture of it right now, it is a menu bar like the one on macs that when you scroll over the icon on the bar the icon gets bigger [03:13] Arbitrary: lol, I was gonna say woody [03:13] also the icons jump around when you mouse over them [03:13] _unnamed_: are you not running gutsy? [03:13] <_unnamed_> I am [03:13] Arbitrary fedora has a iso image (about 10MB) inside its cd and dvd iso images. So you can extract it and then use a cd-rw to burn (and over use cd-r or dvd-r discs).

[03:14] Robotchicken1886: wait.. what's wrong? [03:14] cottima, what is the point of that exactly? [03:14] im trying to figure out the name of a app so i can download it [03:14] _unnamed_: hmm [03:14] Robotchicken1886: we already told you, Avant Windows Manager [03:14] cottima, maybe you should use the alternate install cd [03:15] Robotchicken1886: aka AWN [03:15] arbitrary the image will pull the rest of the cd/dvd images from http, ftp, or partition [03:15] Robotchicken1886 or wbar [03:15] oh I see I see [03:15] <_unnamed_> tritium, do you know if it matters that it installs with 2.4? [03:15] _unnamed_: I'm not sure. [03:15] <_unnamed_> hmm [03:16] I have a weird problem: my wired (and wireless) connections seem normal, but when I attempt large (2 mb or more) downloads, it will start and eventually freeze... any ideas? [03:16] I've used the suse network install cd before, but Ubuntu fits on a single CDR [03:16] cottima, so exactly what is the point? ubuntu fits on a single cd [03:17] get dsl [03:17] <^Wolf> How do I disable HPET in Ubuntu 7.10?

[03:20] Robotchicken1886: avant window navigator [03:20] whabo: then things should be OK. Try also ctrl+alt+backspace to reset X [03:20] no [03:20] i looked it up that is not it [03:20] i want the mac bar [03:20] Robotchicken1886 wbar [03:20] dreamnid: I don't have one though. [03:21] what does the hpet have to do with grub exactly? [03:21] thx [03:21] <^Wolf> I don't know, that is what my friend told me, he said you could disable it from grub by pressing "e" [03:21] not exactly I don't think [03:21] <^Wolf> I also add, there is nothing in BIOS [03:22] try a boot option like nohpet [03:22] dreamnid, tritium, ok still no joy,. have you got any other suggestions? [03:22] bod_ : really? [03:22] bod_ : wow [03:22] dreamnid, no im lying,.,.;) [03:22] or something, but really, why depend on software timing? [03:22] bod_ : Which modes did you try? [03:22] bod_: I'd suggest just live with the default 80x25, then [03:22] dreamnid, yes really [03:22] how do i get a list of ports i'm listening on? [03:22] maybe launcher is a better word [03:22] <^Wolf> I can't get Ubuntu to boot [03:22] <_unnamed_> tritium, I think I've found a repository from which I can dl the correct scipy, but how can I tell apt-get to use that repo instead of its own? [03:22] it is a application launcher and it sits on your desktop [03:22] _unnamed_: I'm looking into it. Please hold. [03:23] octogone: netstat -pant [03:23] <^Wolf> that is the original problem and my friend thought that it had something to do with HPET [03:23] dreamnid, all 32/24 for 1024/800 [03:23] tritium, what is that,.,. ? [03:23] bod_ try 800x600 [03:23] thanks, bascule [03:23] <_unnamed_> thank you tritium [03:23] you can put anything you want in it and when you scroll over it the icons get bigger [03:23] dreamnid, i mean ive done all those combinations [03:23] bod_: not using a vga=XYZ at all [03:23] oh [03:23] HI [03:23] tritium, but then i wont have the loading bars,.,.? [03:24] do you have another monitor to try, bod_? [03:24] Robotchicken1886: That is *exactly* what avant window navigator does. Are you absolutely sure awn will not do what you want? It is customizable, so the icon scroll-over effects and appearance may vary [03:24] bod_: yes you wil [03:24] will* [03:24] dreamnid, no [03:24] tritium, the problem is that i do not have the loading bars, and cannot seem to be able to get them [03:24] people, for users who still get stuck on the flashplugin issue(like me), where can they get a patch/new version from adobe (which is supposed to work)? [03:25] bod_: well, if that's what you're trying to pursue, we're barking up the wrong tree. [03:25] Robotchicken1886, There is another one.. Kibo dock? [03:25] bod_: when did it stop? [03:25] What generic video drivers are most likely to work - my nvidia card can't use nv and i've gotten vesa and vga to work so far? [03:25] tritium, since i stopped neding the live cd to boot [03:25] dreamnid, thanks for the help,. but seems we were going in the wrong direction,.,.lol [03:25] hi, anyone here got an auzen x-plosion sound card? [03:25] tritium: Yeah, I also thought it was weird that he has problems with no vga option with the 1024x768 resolution [03:26] dreamnid: yes, it is.

[03:27] <_unnamed_> ah [03:27] <_unnamed_> how'd you figure that out, just our of curiosity? [03:27] _unnamed_: talking with the MOTUs [03:27] tritium, ive never had the loading bars,. im using a Nvida 7600 gt graphics card [03:27] _unnamed_: but also, looking at the package dependencies, etc. [03:27] bod_: that's odd [03:28] What generic video drivers are most likely to work - my nvidia card can't use nv and i've gotten vesa and vga to work so far?

[03:29] _unnamed_: good deal [03:29] <_unnamed_> see ya [03:29] tritium, oh,. the only time its not good to be unique,.,.lol [03:29] can anyone tell me - i'm trying to move a file that has a space between two words.... how do i do that? it won't work [03:29] tritium, im using the 7.10 amd64 bit version if that would be a problem [03:29] bod_: I recall working with you on the booting issue [03:29] hey guys--i'm trying to get sound to come through my headphones. Currently running ubuntu gutsy gibbon with soundblaster audigy se soundcard and gradoSR 60 headphones. Using alsamixer--there is no option in it to increase or decrease headphone volume. Any ideas? [03:30] bod_: no, it shouldn't be [03:30] tritium, oops,.,. erm yer [03:30] tritium, what booting problem? === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_sleep [03:30] can anyone tell me - i'm trying to move a file that has a space between two words.... how do i do that? it won't work [03:30] bod_: thanks =] [03:30] rodolfo, is it working? [03:31] do i do something like mv my\file ~/Documents ??? [03:31] bod_: yes, it is [03:31] joanki: escape the space with a \, or put quotes around it - eg mv "file name" "new file" [03:31] bod_: when you could only boot from the LiveCD [03:31] thank you so much [03:31] Hello could anybody kindly recommend an easy to use Email client? ( not text based ) [03:31] joanki: alternatively use tab completion, and it will escape it for you [03:31] MJC_: thunderbird [03:31] tritium, no that wasnt me [03:31] MJC_: or kmail, evolution, etc [03:32] Thank you Linxeh [03:32] tritium, i think someone else is called bod because bod_ is not my primary name, but ive never been able to use bod [03:32] tritium, but anyway,. is my loading bar problem fixable? [03:33] bod_: It was you, and I don't know at this time about your problem with usplash. [03:34] tritium, i only met you yesterday with the speedy argument (apology) how would i find out about my usplash problem? [03:34] hi, anyone here got an auzen x-plosion sound card? [03:34] bod_: yes, bod is a registered nick. You won't be able to get it. [03:34] oh wow thanks! [03:34] bod_: no, we've talked many times before [03:34] uh, hi [03:34] hi [03:34] heh [03:34] lol [03:35] been bouncin around between half a dozen distros finally decided to stick with this one [03:35] for longer than a day at least :-) [03:35] gothael, do you actually have a problem? [03:35] negative, oh I'm sorry I see this is the support channel, I'll be leaving now [03:36] gothael, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:36] gothael: you're welcome to stay [03:36] gothael: just keep it on-topic (ubuntu) [03:36] thank you but I'm really just putzin around so I'll free up the support chl... cheers all [03:37] * bod_ thinks gothael is a nice guy [03:37] does someone know of a program that converts audio format from mp3 to aac? [03:38] tritium, if i was to search ubuntu forums for my problem,.,. how would i phrase my problem? [03:39] I used to have 2 raid-1s on of my drives and have since decommissioned one of them. When I did this I did not know that I should have zeroed the superblock. If I do this now, is my data safe? [03:39] bod_: be sure to include usplash [03:40] tritium, would "I have no loading bars (usplash?) please help" be appropriate? [03:40] bod_: perhaps [03:40] Is there any reason why the Desktop Cube option in compiz refuses to overide the system background? I can't get it to display an image specified there as my wallpaper. [03:40] bod_: i wasn't here for your question, what was it...i recently had a splash problem with my 880gts [03:40] 8800gts* [03:40] Shishire, you need to use an unsupported olugin called wallpaper [03:41] I was dealing ith the gps lt-20 bug but im having trouble with the make file [03:41] frankwatson, i have no loading bars,. it just displays a message "Video mode not supported" [03:41] 'cause the compiz page says that I shouldn't need to use it. I'll try it, thanks [03:41] frankwatson, 7600gt Nvidia [03:41] bod_: but still boots, or does not? [03:42] when trying to start xserver, i get the error "no valid modes", upon closer examination of my xorg.log, it says "no mode of this name" for all the resolutions, follow by "hsync out of range" for all of the resolutions, can someone please help? this is a fresh install to fluxbuntu from feisty, and everything was working fine in feisty [03:42] frankwatson, yep, it boots,. the message goes away when i get to the login screen [03:42] hello is there any cool ways to make the brown go away in ubuntu? [03:42] Shishire, no probs [03:42] bod_: sorry, that is different than mine, not sure [03:42] frankwatson, thanks anyway [03:42] hi, is anyone experienced with rhythmbox here? [03:43] bod_ : I think I have that same issue on my 8800GTS, it's like the monitor loses signal a time or two during the booting/log-in process? [03:43] Any help with the make file [03:43] ushimitsudoki, that sounds like the prob,. any fixes? [03:43] swo, whats up? [03:43] what wolverine? [03:43] what;s wrong? [03:43] anyone familiar with RAID and mdadm: if i zero-superblock, is my data safe? [03:43] !anyone | VvWolverinevV [03:43] VvWolverinevV: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:44] bod_no : I was just assuming that it was a change until the nvidia drivers loaded or something. It's a bit annoying, though - sure would like to know what causes it [03:44] hmm [03:44] just a sec [03:44] Pirate-King: how can i prevent a file from being added to my music library when the file is in my music folder? [03:44] Pirate-King: i want to keep the file there, but not be loaded by rhythmbox [03:44] ushimitsudoki, i dont think its a Nvidia problem,. i get the same message if i dont use the graphics card [03:44] frankwatson, why do you have the desire to zero the superblock? [03:45] VvWolverinevV, remove said file? [03:45] i need install help [03:45] VvWolverinevV, sorry,. got ahead of my self [03:45] bod_: please read my last message [03:45] thechitowncubs, shoot [03:45] the docs explain a no-cd install from linux [03:45] this does not work for the 64b distribution of 7.10 [03:45] bod_: huh [03:45] thechris, please explain ur problem fully in one line [03:45] un install rhythmbox [03:45] hi Pirate-King [03:46] thechitowncubs, sorry,. too many people beginnine with the,. my bad [03:46] bod_: you da man :) [03:46] frankwatson, also, if you are not sure, just backup your data before you try anything [03:46] bod_: no problem back to my f3cking essay [03:46] nickrud, yer!!!! (wot do u mean)? [03:46] Pirate-King: i want to continue to use rhythmbox for most of my music, just don't want it to load a few files [03:46] bod_: go man go, I say [03:46] thechitowncubs, language,. but unlucky [03:46] bod_: Hmm, I can't say about that - I've only always used the 8800GTS.BIOS/POST/GRUB is fine, then "Kernal alive" ... then monitor message "No signal", then Nvidia splash screen, then login screen is how i think it goes [03:46] I need to install the 64b version of 7.10 without a CD. the documentation online works for 32b, but not 64b images. the kernel hangs (not panic) while booting the 64b image from grub [03:46] Arbitrary: I used to have RAID-1 on two of my drives that are no longer raided....now that i have installed raid support for ubuntu (for another unrelated raid), i can no longer mount the other drives because it picks up the raid information on them......i found the command to remove the raid info, but i want to know if it is going to remove the partition table or anything else [03:47] ushimitsudoki, i dont get the nvidia screen,. but apart from that ,. yer [03:47] thechris, if your not using a cd wot r u using? [03:47] Arbitrary: it is a lot of data to backup for a simple command, that if i know what it does, should be safe [03:48] a single command can move mountains [03:48] nickrud, how do i do that? [03:48] bod_: /notice [03:48] Arbitrary: i know that, but all the guides i can find on it assume i have no data on the drive [03:48] Just switched from Vista to Gutsy. Very happy overall. Most things work great including Wine (and on 64-bit!). However, max volume in all of the media players i've tried is _much_ lower than vista. Is there any way to tell the OS to boost volume generically for all apps? Max volume is just too soft now... [03:48] Arbitrary: so they fail to address this issue [03:48] nickrud, oops,. please explain more [03:48] bod_: Since text-mode would work there (like when you boot into recovery mode), and because I had to do a alternate install of Gutsy (as my video card wouldn't work with the live CD), I assume that the initial Ubuntu screen there isn't displaying for the same reason - and when the nvidia drivers come in all is fine. I hope you see what I mean. [03:49] bod_: a partition [03:49] scott try alsamixer in command line? [03:49] ushimitsudoki, i couldnt install with gcard either,. but i just used the motherboard graphics then reconnected my card after install? [03:49] thechris, do you have a usb stick bigger then 700mb? [03:49] ok, I'll give it a try, thx [03:49] in that case, frankwatson, I would backup..any tutorial involving partition manipulation assumes you have to data most likely because the effects of such manipulation will effectively wipe the drive [03:50] i unmounted my card reader now when i put the card back in ubuntu doesnt read it [03:50] bod_: similar thing I think. The nvidia drivers aren't loaded yet, so that screen can't display. That's my best guess anyway. How to fix it, I wish I knew [03:50] Pirate-King: bod_: i just decided to move the files to a different folder [03:50] I would take no chances, even if somebody tells you a particular command is safe [03:51] nevermind [03:51] ushimitsudoki, how long are you gonna be on here,. im gonna post a forun thingy in a sec,. they usually get quite fast results [03:51] bod_ : on and off for a bit ... working on some other issues :) [03:51] ushimitsudoki, kk,. il let u no if i find anything [03:51] i installed gnome-splashscreen-manager but when i click on a splash screen to add the program just closes [03:52] pERMISI [03:52] too many times I've seen data loss occur because a noob was messing with parted and such. if you have to re-create the raid with dmraid to backup, so be it [03:52] nickrud, sorry only just saw ur post [03:52] Arbitrary: thanks [03:53] hello all [03:53] hello wibou [03:53] leave [03:53] where can i get ati mobility drivers? i am desperate, im using lynx and irssi right now [03:53] I've got some madness about SSH and/or Term and character encoding... anyone to help? [03:54] nickrud, you live in here dont you?... lol [03:54] kyleBAKED, ati.com has the drivers [03:55] anything interesting going on? [03:55] singlesun1, please stay on-topic [03:55] hello, its me again. i have ubuntu server installed in vmware as i like to run multipal os/s on one decent computer. unfortunatly i accidentally gave it a 8gb hard drive. since then i have increased the size to 40GB but i need to know how to format and mount the rest of the partition on the /var/www folder.. [03:55] bod_, what is the topic? [03:55] well Arbitrary well most people think linux is easier than windows [03:55] singlesun1, support -- for general banter #ubuntu-offtopic [03:56] I've just upgraded to the Hardy alpha, is there any reason the colours are wrong, i.e. blue titlebar when the rest of Ubuntu is themed brown/orange?? [03:56] pyro: sudo fdisk [03:56] pyro: or use gparted [03:56] mcisbackuk, when did the hardy alpha hit? and how is it? [03:56] Shadow147, linux is way easier than Windows [03:56] Shadow147, i would disagree, windows is extremely noob friendly, my nan can use it, if i gave my nan ubuntu it would take me weeks to teach her how to use it,. and years to teacch her it well [03:56] singlesun1: theres nearly 4 alphas lol its been out ages [03:56] mcisbackuk: I have the same thing - but I think they're working on a visual refresh [03:57] i dont know how [03:57] i am quite new to cmd line linux [03:57] mcisbackuk, is it stable? and better than gutsy? [03:57] Shadow147, but if you are doing advanced things, they are advanced no matter what [03:57] dreamnid: OK, just thought it was an error in the upgrade that I missed [03:57] Arbitrary: is there not one in the repos? I hate to be a pain, but could you send me a link for them, i can't navigate atis website in lynx at 640x480 [03:57] how do i replace the ubuntu symbol with my own on the taskbar [03:57] singlesun1: It is sorta stable, but not production ready yet [03:57] which wm does KDE use? [03:57] mcisbackuk, probably because its not finished yet,. alpha is lots of bugs, beta is most bugs fixed, release is all known bugs fixed [03:57] singlesun1: Alpha is before beta..ever hear of beta-TESTING? [03:57] singlesun1: It's an alpha, I would suggest unless you are a developer/packager to stay with Gutsy 7.10, at least until Beta [03:58] BRB [03:58] kyleBAKED, hang on, what ATI card do you have? [03:58] dreamnid, thanks man... [03:58] peanuts132, good question,.,.let me no if u find an answer [03:58] Big-E, mcisbackuk yes of course, was just asking a question ... [03:58] Arbitrary: ati mobility, i wanna say its x1300, something like that [03:58] I was just giving an answer, singlesun1. [03:58] Big-E, with attitude :P [03:58] well Arbitrary well I tinkered with linux in vmware for awhile and once I got my own computer I wanted to run it using native hardware [03:58] ok kyleBAKED, hang on just a minute [03:58] Not everyone here is linux orientated lol [03:58] singlesun1: not really, but I do keep this open and swing by when I'm working :0 [03:58] Big-E, singlesun1, please try and keep it polite guys === robbie is now known as enigmastrat [03:59] nickrud, good to see you either way [03:59] Arbitrary: when i installed feisty it worked with the restricted driver, but i just install fluxbuntu 7.10 and i only have vesa [03:59] Anyway, I'm in a good mood, anyone need anything sorted? lol [03:59] nickrud, do you no where the information for the graphics in the taskbar is locaed? [03:59] bod_: graphics in the taskbar? [04:00] nickrud, top left of ur screen,.,. ubuntu logo [04:00] kyleBAKED, is it a mobility radeon for laptops, or a desktop? [04:00] i think its just the ubuntu icon [04:00] ubutnu icon [04:00] bod_: here is a half-way fix I just tried: remove "splash" from the GRUB parameters. The boot process will be text, but the monitor "signal not present" message is avoided. Not perfect if you want the splash, but it addresses part of the problem at least [04:00] ill try and edit it [04:00] Arbitrary: laptop [04:00] hang on [04:01] ushimitsudoki, the graphics is what i want but thanks,. thread will be up momenteraly [04:01] Arbitrary: inspiron e1505 dell, i think its x1300 or x100 or something like that, i can't remember off the top of my head [04:01] ushimitsudoki, up [04:01] I also get the monitor syncing, even in Hardy, I believe they're working on a fix for the next release for this. [04:01] Arbitrary so I hunted down a partitioner and I found Gparted made my ext3 FS downloaded and burned ubuntu 7.10 iso and I have been very happy ever since [04:01] bod_: link? I'll post too [04:02] How can i determine what to set the kernel init_ramfs line to? [04:02] Arbitrary: its x1300, just checked [04:02] ushimitsudoki, :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4220516 [04:02] Arbitrary and I was getting tired of windows BULL with Videos and Audio software [04:02] is it based on initrd.gz? [04:02] thanks kyleBAKED, downloading now [04:02] Arbitrary: you can send me a link and ill wget [04:02] Shadow147, what has your general opinion been of your learning curve on Linux? and what resources have you utilized in learning? [04:03] Is everyone in MOTU asleep? [04:03] bod_: gconf-editor , search (ctl-f) for custom_icon , search in key names also [04:03] mcisbackuk: I didn't think the masters of the universe slept [04:04] nickrud, cheers,.il have a play [04:04] Has a fix been released for flash yet? [04:04] mage, lol... that was a great toon [04:04] nickrud, can u pass that on to peanuts132 [04:04] singlesun1 well I wanted to run programs differently I learned file chmod when I had a site that used *nix servers [04:04] I know I'm one of them, but no-one seems to be awake in the channel lol [04:04] where is sources.list ... [04:04] mcisbackuk: blah blah blah md5? theres a deb available but I dont know why its not released [04:04] mcisbackuk: what was borked with it? === Big-E is now known as Bigie [04:04] peanuts132: gconf-editor , search (ctl-f) for custom_icon , it will appear in menu bar and some other places. === Bigie is now known as Biggie [04:04] mcisbackuk: its in the bug entry though [04:04] hey nickrud [04:04] Shadow147, i see, did you use something as a learning manual? [04:05] badkitty: hi there === Biggie is now known as EC_44 [04:05] anyone know what to set ramdisk_size to [04:05] mage: because it won't work with konqueror [04:05] Yeah, although I think it's a problem with there being another break problem if it's commited for Konqueror (Kubuntu) [04:05] kyleBAKED, calm down, I'm preparing the file on my server, I will let you know [04:05] nickrud, searching gives an error ,.,. pattern not found [04:05] or what the ramdisk_size option means? [04:05] bod_: you need to check the search in key names option [04:05] ramdisk_size option is virtual ram used at boot time [04:05] nickrud: oh THAT problem [04:06] (gparted:6488): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:06] mage: still ;( [04:06] (gparted:6488): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:06] nickrud, cheers [04:06] I'm wondering if this is the reason I can't install ubuntu without a CD [04:06] cool [04:06] have you tried acpi options? [04:06] singlesun1 well mostly trial and error I wanted to see how most of my windows apps would have a linux version [04:06] Arbitrary: i thought you were going to download it and send it to me via irc [04:06] !equivalents | Shadow147 (you may have found this already) [04:06] Shadow147 (you may have found this already): A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [04:07] Shadow147, haha... i see... was just curious [04:07] where is my sources.list [04:07] nickrud, i dont really no what im looking for,.,. [04:07] oh... very nice... LOL... i will bookmark that [04:07] RequinB5: i think /etc/apt [04:07] its in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:07] yes [04:08] bod_: look for menu_bar for example, in the left pane. You would give the path in custom_icon , and check use_custom_icon [04:08] thx [04:08] anyones thoughts on best firewall to use for ubuntu? [04:08] RequinB5: No problem. [04:08] singlesun1: Why do you want a firewall? [04:08] It's linux [04:09] * Pyro is getting annoyed with ubuntu.. [04:09] I use an SSH SOCKS proxy when browsing the web on a public wifi hotspot, when I tell Pidgin to use my proxy none of the services will connect [04:09] kyleBAKED, I === Pirate-King2 is now known as Pirate-King [04:09] nickrud, ok buttons clicked,. now how do i set the icon to be one of my picttures? [04:09] kyleBAKED, I am downloading it to my server, and I will give you the link [04:09] benanzo: Have you told it to connect through the correct port for SSH? [04:09] Arbitrary: okay, awesome thanks [04:09] mcisbackuk, because i dont know any better, and it sounds like something ive always had to use [04:09] I start my proxy with: "ssh -ND 9999 user@MyHomeComputer" [04:10] can anyone SSH into my server and mount a volume for me please. [04:10] i really cant work this out [04:10] bod_: change the path in custom_icon [04:10] mcisbackuk, i switched from windows to ubuntu not long ago, so im still in the "figuring this out" phase [04:10] nickrud I also wanted to have an already built in programable enviroment unlike windows [04:10] bod_: or add the path that is [04:10] singlesun1: I take it you've come from Windoze? If that's the case, you will learn as well an I did that you don't need one. [04:10] Shadow147: yeah :) [04:10] nickrud, how? [04:10] web browsing works fine when I point FF to SOCKS 5 localhost:9999 [04:10] singlesun1 I also wanted to have an already built in programable enviroment unlike windows [04:10] but IRC/AIM/MSN etc don't work [04:10] bod_: have you found the custom_icon key? [04:11] benanzo, use aMSN [04:11] mcisbackuk, how so? an opened port is an opened port right? and you have to control the traffic right? set program allowances... etc.? [04:11] nickrud, i have ticked the use_custom_icon box if thats what u mean [04:11] benanzo: I know that Pidgin Windows version has problems with proxy servers, could also be a bug here [04:11] I like Pidgin a lot and it should work, I think it's the port mappings that are the problem [04:11] bod_: ok, now look further up in the right pane, you'll see a key custom_icon [04:12] nickrud singlesun1 also what I like that that even though I need package for compiling they were small and easy to find [04:12] singlesun1: Yes, but by default the iptables are set for normal desktop users, and even if a prot IS open, unlike windows, no-one can do anything without root [04:12] nickrud, got it ,. if i double click on it,. i can ebter a value [04:12] bod_: yes [04:12] nickrud, should i enter a file path? [04:13] bod_: yes [04:13] ok [04:13] mcisbackuk, hmmm.... any suggestions for me to get a handle on Linux... text recommendations?... it seems a largely different character than winblows [04:14] singlesun1: honestly, you won't be too lost on ubuntu, just read some guides as issues arise and you'll as you go along [04:14] nickrud, done,. but i dont think anythings changed,.,. wot icon did i just change? [04:14] learn* [04:14] kyleBAKED, be patient, prolly an hour or so [04:14] well once wine gets better I may just go full linux [04:14] how do i log out to terminal (no xserver) to install nvidia driver-i did sudo init 1 but that killed almost everything [04:14] kyleBAKED, i would like to know that ins and outs of this OS though... [04:15] ubuntu has too many u's to type fast =( [04:15] singlesun1: If you really *want* a firewall I would say your best bet is guarddgo, which you can find in Synaptic, just enable the universe repositories (do this by System > Admin > Software Sources) [04:15] *guarddog [04:15] bod_: depends. what is highlighted in the left pane, that will tell you. Could be a drawer or a menu icon. [04:15] does anyone know how to fix a broken notification area? [04:15] Arbitrary: if you sent me the direct link to the file from the ati site i could just get it from there [04:15] !guarddog | singlesun1 [04:15] singlesun1: 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). [04:15] Arbitrary: and you wouldnt have to wait on me [04:15] mcisbackuk, im correct to assume that firestarter is just a GUI for the iptables? right? [04:15] nickrud, menu_bar [04:15] Fixed it. Pidgin doesn't adhere to Gnome's proxy settings for some reason. Just set a custom SOCKS 5 proxy per account and it will work [04:15] singlesun1: Exactly [04:15] it shows all of the icons of the things that i have open, but i when i right click, it opens the menu for th enotification tray, and not the application. left click lets me drag the notification area around. [04:15] bod_: then you changed the menu bar icon. try killall gnome-panel , that will cause the menu bar to reload [04:16] singlesun1: Have you ever used a command line interface before? Cygwin or the like? [04:16] which is kind of a pain if I have several accounts and must do that each time I want to use them [04:16] does anyone know of a media player which can play multiple subtitle tracks at once? [04:16] kyleBAKED, hang on then [04:16] cbeck, i have messed with it a little ... yes... downloaded the java flash... and a few apps for this.... using term [04:16] benanzo: Can you file a bug on this in Launchpad, so MOTU can check this with upstream? [04:16] kyleBAKED, here it is: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run [04:16] nickrud, ok smart*** how do i get them back now,.,.,.,.;) [04:16] radetsky I would use vlc [04:17] singlesun1: Java and Flash using terminal??? not in Ubuntu surely? [04:17] mcisbackuk, yes [04:17] mcisbackuk: yes, I'm going to investigate it a bit more and file it [04:17] how do i figure out my mesa version? can anyone answer? [04:17] gnome-panel === _max` is now known as max` [04:17] singlesun1: Oh dear lol ..... ermmm next time use synaptic ;) If you want all the flash and java for firefox, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:17] bod_: they should have restarted automatically. [04:18] nickrud, i have no panels! [04:18] mcisbackuk, i even had the 64 bit edition earlier... but it caused too much problems with java and flash.... lol... so i switched back to 32 [04:18] singlesun1: Although there are problems with Flash at the mo [04:18] mcisback singlesun I was able to get flash and java working easily [04:18] bod_: alt-f2 , login, then type DISPLAY=":0" gnome-panel & [04:18] mcisbackuk, when i ran it through synaptic it wouldnt work right, when i installed flash and java that way... so i installed through term and no problem [04:18] Arbitrary: ty so much [04:19] mcisbackuk, havent had a problem with it since then [04:19] singlesun1: Fair enough, but seriously for new users, using the preconfigured interface is better, since synaptic will know what to upgrade, so would suggest you install ubuntu-restricted-extras as well just in case, as a fallback :) [04:19] mcisbackuk, although im not very impressed with firefox and im thinking about switching to a different browser [04:19] Arbitrary: are those for 64 bit? i see the x86_64 in the url [04:19] help- how do i log out to terminal (no xserver) to install nvidia driver-i did sudo init 1 but that killed almost everything [04:19] singlesun1: Have you tried Opera? [04:20] so I use a laptop with an ATI X1100 gpu, and when I start up from the battery, the screen fades out to complete white when X loads...when I'm on the AC adapter everthing works fine. Any ideas? [04:20] preacher: Alt+F1 [04:20] mcisbackuk, no i havent i saw it was rather fast though on browser comparisons [04:20] preacher: To return Alt+F7/F8 [04:20] hi [04:20] mcisbackuk, i can sudo apt-get install opera right? [04:20] kyleBAKED, it is for both [04:20] i did alt+f1 but that doesn't kill x [04:20] X86 and X86_64bit [04:21] CTL ALT F1 sorry [04:21] and F7 to return to X [04:21] singlesun1: Yes you can [04:21] i have a acer aspire 5920g where can i find ubuntu drivers [04:21] Okay - I have installed the XP drivers and wrapper - but I still (after following directions) can't seem to get my netgear WG511 v2 (PCMCIA) adapter to work - it's not showing up in the network [04:21] mcisbackuk, you use Opera? [04:21] preacher: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:21] curkill: What drivers are you looking for? [04:21] nickrud, nothing has chnaged,.,.,. but i had to reboot to get my panels bak !!!grrr!!! [04:21] singlesun1: No, Firefox [04:22] thanks!! [04:22] preacher: You're welcome! :) [04:22] nvidia 8600m gt [04:22] mcisbackuk, hmmm.... what is uninstall command for a program from terminal? [04:22] curkill, with good luck your hardware is supported by the linux kernel [04:22] curkill, I also have an acer, what drivers are you looking for? [04:22] curkill: Have you tried the restricted drivers manager? [04:22] singlesun1: sudo apt-get remove XXX [04:23] i'm guessing he's looking for sound drivers. [04:23] no, ill give it a try [04:23] Shadow147: I ruled out VLC early b/c I couldn't get it to play .mkv files properly (they're all fuzzy). Is this easy to resolve? [04:23] mcisbackuk: ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't kill X, which is what he asked about... [04:23] bod_: system->prefs->session, check the gnome-panel in the second tab, make sure its set to restart [04:23] mage: Oops lol Close enough :P [04:23] radetsky: fuzzy like jpeg artifact or fuzzy like woah gotta stop drinking? [04:23] Okay - I have installed the XP drivers and wrapper - but I still (after following directions) can't seem to get my netgear WG511 v2 (PCMCIA) adapter to work - it's not showing up in the network [04:23] mcisbackuk: not if you're trying to mess with ATI drivers :p [04:23] I should say ndiswrapper [04:23] mcisbackuk, you havent had issues with firefox crashing? it likes to hang from time to time and im sure its not a hardware issue, ... the other day it hung up and i could not xkill it because it wasnt there to kill [04:24] mage: been there, done that, stuck with fglrx lol [04:24] mage: like double-fisting everclear for several hours nonstop [04:24] nickrud, yes it is,.,. dw bout it m8, im not bothered,. cheers anyway [04:24] bod_: strange that. [04:24] nickrud, be back in a bit [04:25] huh decoding shouldn't do that, are you sure of the quality of the file you're trying? [04:25] mage: it works fine in gxine & mplayer [04:25] singlesun1: No, I've had no problems, bar 1 but that was my fault. System>Admin>System Monitor shows you running processes and any you can right click and kill process that way, its easier I find [04:26] although, interestingly, vlc figures out how to merge the subtitle tracks automatically, where gxine and mplayer do not [04:26] mcisbackuk, i wasnt aware of that utility... i searched and searched... and ended up settling on htop.... lol [04:26] anyone here have experience with Ubuntu on a Ps3? [04:27] singlesun1: lol Don't worry it's all a learning curve, like using Pc's to start with [04:27] NetEcho: Wish I could say I HAD a PS3!

Within an hour I have several apps including office 2003 running [04:51] exit [04:51] scott_, have you thought of using openoffice instead? [04:51] bod_, lol... well if kopete would just let me receive files i would be fine.. lol... [04:51] singlesun1, lol [04:51] bod_: Yep, I use both [04:51] scott_, u prefer which? [04:51] scott_: OpenOffice is fully compatible with Office 2003 [04:52] bod_, if i could fix it [04:52] mcisbackuk, and 2007 [04:52] bod_: Yup : [04:52] ) [04:52] ROFL, no it is not _fully_ compat, but it is great for simple compat. jobs [04:52] singlesun1, reinstall it,. make sure no encryption, stuff like that [04:52] mcisbackuk, and its free [04:52] other thing that sux is... i have another class that requires me to use the Microshaft Office package.... so i still have to rely on the microsoft stuff for this class [04:52] scott_: Well close enough, and not £100+ [04:52] mcisbackuk, oh microsoft really is gonna die out in 10 years time [04:53] this is not the fault of OOO... MS hasn't release their specs. OOO did a great job, but there is still a need for Office for complex doc compat. [04:53] singlesun1, you can install MS office through wine [04:53] bod how do i register [04:53] which one do you suggest openbox or fluxbox and why? [04:53] bod_: I've got my fingers crossed, as soon as M$ release specs for Office's xml document language, we're off, they already f****ed up with Vista [04:54] bod_, so are you saying that i could basically throw away my vista partition completely... and i could run Visual Studio running the .NET framework as well? as Office Suite? [04:54] mcisbackuk, OMFG have u tried finding the run command line in vista> [04:54] mcisbackuk: agreed, XML makes it much more possible than the old binary formats [04:54] >*? [04:54] singlesun1: Not too sure about .NET [04:54] mcisbackuk, yeah that has been my worry [04:54] bod_: Start->R [04:54] compy: Openbox, faster and generally nicer ;) [04:54] mcisbackuk, that is why i had to reinstall vista... which was a real annoyance. [04:54] compy: Openbox + xfce4-panel = teh win [04:54] singlesun1, yes,. [04:55] singlesun1: I know for a fact Visual Studio Express has a few teething problems in Wine [04:55] scott_, tried finding the actual shortcut? [04:55] bod_: does winkey-r not work anymore? [04:55] Vista crashed during my Pre-SP1 update...so I took the plunge. [04:55] ShiftyPowers: what a great series tat was. [04:55] patogen, nice thats what i got now and am working on configing it [04:55] scott_: LMAO typical [04:55] mcisbackuk, do you know of any .NET IDEs for linux? [04:55] mcisbackuk, yeah im running vis studio express.... and it has teething problem in microshaft to begin with... LOL [04:55] jbroome, i mean the actual shortcut, that is always in the start menu,. is no longer there by default because MS think no one uses it [04:55] compy: I only wish you could set xfce4-panel to smaller than 16 pixels ... [04:56] jmantra: I can't help on that, I'm not that into Windows developing sorry :( [04:56] is evolution the best email client for ubuntu? [04:56] oh hehe [04:56] joanki, no [04:56] yeah [04:56] singlesun1: This is true.. [04:56] hmm, it would appear that installing #mythbuntu would ease my transition to linux (less use of a terminal to setup mythtv), can I install a KDE desktop ontop of a mythbuntu (sorry, the #ubuntu-mythtv channel is dead) [04:56] joanki, personal preference, i use thunderbird [04:56] astyler: Of course you can [04:56] does thunderbird have a calendar? [04:56] joanki, i believe u can add one yes [04:56] how do I use the new ipod shuffle with my ubuntu??? [04:57] joanki: Yes, there are several plugins available for addons at http://www.mozilla.com/ [04:57] johnficca, drag and drop,.,. same as always,.,. or install itunes through wine [04:57] joanki, there is always sunbird and evolution has a calendar built in [04:57] bod_, why dont u like evolution?

[05:12] singlesun1: give me the link [05:12] lol [05:12] mcisbackuk, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53838 [05:13] apparently i cannot import a csv file into evolution i a wondering whats wrong [05:13] mcisbackuk, thats so annoying when that happens [05:13] mcisbackuk, lol [05:13] bod_: just a suggestion; you can keep a window open with the bot and /msg ubotu keyword [05:13] may i have a suggestion how to do it? [05:14] bazhang, ive got one,. sorry in the message ubotu gave about partitions it mentiuoned ! gnome so i thought it might have info about mounting partitions in gnome environment,.,. my bad [05:14] bod_: whats that? [05:14] I'm reading that the "server" kernel will most likely solve my clock issue (which is based on the kernel losing interrupts it seems) based on some posts on the web. What is the technical diff between generic and server kernels? Can I just use synaptic to install server and deinstall generic and reboot? [05:14] mcisbackuk, made a pastebin ~(no link) [05:14] singlesun1: No luck I'm afraid :( Needs a proprietary driver, which Philips haven't released.... [05:15] Jakoo: ubuntuforums and google turned up nothing? is this your first stop? [05:15] mcisbackuk, well that sux [05:15] bod_: Yeah, but hey lol [05:15] scott_, what kind of clock issues are you having? [05:15] mcisbackuk, lol [05:15] scott_, the desktop kernel by default has an ondemand cpu frequency governor, it clocks down the frequency of your cpu when its not in use [05:15] MasterShrek: rtc: lost some interrupts at 512Hz [05:15] bod_, hell if i know man, i never used a pastebin before.. LOL [05:15] i have tried nothing significant [05:15] singlesun1: Its either....buy an iPod LMAO or stick with windows for transferring stuff and then access sda1 to pull into Ubuntu [05:16] Jakoo: no idea never use evolution [05:16] hmm scott_, never seen something like that, its worth a shot to try to use the server kernel, if it doesnt work u can always go back tot he desktop [05:16] hi guys, i have a serious problem. i need to find the root trash directory [05:16] MasterShrek: posts say it is due to VMWare guest having more demanding timing requirements than my kernel is set for [05:16] singlesun1, lol,.,. yer, its probably important to tell people where u put information ,.,.lol,.,.,. just something to keep in mind for the future,.,. [05:16] :( [05:16] singlesun1, what was your issue [05:16] is there a way i could set my nfs shares to automatically mount once my wifi connection is established [05:16] singlesun1, what is your problem? [05:16] its ok thanx anyway [05:16] mcisbackuk, well i sure wont buy and ipod cuz i paid almost 300 when it came out... [05:16] singlesun1: Sod that, I went to tesco lol [05:16] anybody know which package i need for the jeos kernel headers? [05:17] MasterShrek: So it sounds like then my system would draw more power? Right now all 4 cores are clocked at 1.6GHz vs. 2.4 [05:17] mcisbackuk, lol [05:17] hello guys [05:17] elbermungsterses, locate .trash in terminal [05:17] mcisbackuk, tesco? [05:17] pteague: the distro GeOS? [05:17] how do i install anjuta 2.2.3 on my gutsy computer?

[05:17] scott_, the clock speed should go up when the cpu's are being used [05:17] singlesun1, ahh [05:17] singlesun1, yes,. i have one it works fine [05:17] just windering:P [05:17] bod_, mcisbackuk aha.... never been to the uk === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor [05:18] bazhang> no, ubuntu-jeos ... for virtual servers [05:18] how do you do that, soldats? [05:18] singlesun1, tesco = supermarket [05:18] bod_, lmfao [05:18] MasterShrek: But if server doesn't have the frequency govener I'm thinking they'll be 2.4 all the time? (and thus suck more power?) [05:18] singlesun1: Lucky you! You're not missing much. [05:18] mcisbackuk, what about all the hot wheather weve been having !!!!!!!! lol [05:18] mcisbackuk, well, my family is from Gordon, Scotland but moved to the usa sometime ago [05:18] How can I play BIK videos on Ubuntu?

[05:19] Bik video....as in the format that blizzard used to encode video from their older games?

So I just literally install the server kernel and deinstall generic and synaptic will take care of the rest of the booting stuff? [05:20] elbermungsterses, i think its in ~/.local/share/Trash [05:20] bazhang, so funny,.,.only one problem,.,. theres no one there [05:20] bazhang: LOL...please join #ubuntu-community-means-community :P hehe jk [05:20] haha [05:21] mcisbackuk, good point ;) so i suppose this mp3 player is junk ... unless i just keep transferring everything via flash drive from vista part to ubuntu partition [05:21] MasterShrek> synaptic isn't available via the cli or ssh [05:21] scott_, dont uninstall the default kernel, youll just have a different option in grub after you install the server kernel, but remember you wont have access to restricted modules with the server kernel [05:21] mcisbackuk, dont be silly,. thatd oesnt exist (i was stupid enought to try nd join it) [05:21] mcisbackuk, brb have to make a phone call real quick to find out if i need to pick up my wife [05:21] apt-cache search pteague [05:21] pteague, good call, i cant exactly remember the name of the package [05:21] singlesun1, nah,. leave her there [05:21] !find headers [05:21] Found: libxaw-headers, libxmu-headers, linux-headers-386, linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-server (and 28 others) [05:21] singlesun1: For now at least, yes, until someone comes up with something. Might be an idea to file a bug again this as a request for some sort of kernel module? [05:22] bod_: Agreed. lol [05:22] lol [05:22] newbie question: what's the difference between X.org and X window system? [05:22] mcisbackuk, she's got legs,. mae her walk [05:22] !linux-headers-generic | MasterShrek [05:22] MasterShrek: Oh...that is a showstopper then. So no nvidia restricted driver? [05:22] bod_: lol [05:22] rodolfo, x.org is a file and x windows is wot ur looking at [05:23] scott_, you wont be able to istall it through synaptic, but you can do it manually from nvidia's website (thats how i always do it anyway) [05:23] bod_: hmm...and how do i figure out my X.org current version? [05:24] rodolfo, why would you want to do that? [05:24] what do you need that for? [05:24] scott_ there are Nvidia Restricted Drives [05:24] already installed linux-kernel-devel... hmm... guess i should install linux-headers-2.6.22-14-virtual [05:24] and i believe its 7. something atm [05:24] 7.3 [05:24] or 1.3 [05:25] ty baz [05:25] :) [05:25] bod_, if i left her there... who would cook?....lol [05:25] Anyone around?

[05:25] and then X/gnome appears [05:25] any ideas? [05:25] rodolfo, its probably got them [05:25] mcisbackuk, bod_ lol... the microwave cooked all day today... and i ate some fast food earlier... lol [05:25] manlymatt83: Did you choose correct version for your processor? [05:26] Shadow147: I have nvidia driver running...my q was in ref to the 'server' kernel and whether it would still work [05:26] mcisbackuk, bod_ i will be back in like 15 mins or so... then we will talk about this bug report... lol [05:26] singlesun1, ask ur mum to bring some round [05:26] bod_: fine, and how do I do then?

[05:36] apt-cache is returning little of what i search for.. haven't consulted sources.list yet.. i should do that [05:36] been a while [05:36] green-_: available already [05:36] green-_: for compiz fusion? it's already installed [05:36] Freakingme: Hmm.... Looks like a rebuild then if the module cant modprobe [05:36] crdlb, not in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy amd64 it isnt,.i installed today and got the download shortly after,. did not come on cd [05:36] apparently the driver required is not.. need to enable some repos for that [05:36] 'rebuild' as in: compiling my own kernel? [05:36] bod_: no, you got updates. It's still installed [05:37] Freakingme: Not sure to be honest..... [05:37] green-_: what driver [05:37] crdlb, installed but not working? ,.,. really? [05:37] mcisbackuk: kyocera smartphone 7135. gutsy version of ubuntu. i have KPPP set with the account, now just need to get it to recognize the phone. tethered it through the USB. [05:37] nvidia-glx [05:37] crdlb, i still had to install ccsm myself [05:37] mcisbackuk ty anyways [05:37] Freakingme: np :) [05:37] bod_: indeed, that's in Universe [05:37] green-_: on the live cd? [05:37] but everything else is installed [05:38] green-_, consult your restricted driver manager [05:38] crdlb, ah,. thats why i counted it as not installed,. because u cant really tinker untill u have ccsm,.,. thanks for educating me,.,.lol [05:38] bod_: I'm trying to find... [05:38] well i'm installed now, off the live cd [05:38] aha [05:38] green-_, good stuff [05:38] Is there any way to profile Firefox? [05:38] bod_: btw, what makes you think this is related to my software and not my hardware? [05:39] anything in sources.list i should bother leaving disabled? [05:39] Murdock76: Just looking now [05:39] mcisbackuk: ok thx. [05:39] rodolfo, i think the other way around dude,. i think its the hardware not the software [05:39] bod_: oh [05:39] green-_: check the first four is usually best--depends on what you need to do [05:39] rodolfo: attempting to upgrade your intel driver won't fix anything [05:40] crdlb: what do you mean? this is unsolved? [05:40] rodolfo: laptop or desktop? [05:40] Murdock76: Open a Terminal and type lsusb, does it show up, and if so try configuring KPPP to that port [05:40] rodolfo, an old processor will not be better because u have a new driver,.,.,. [05:40] !lsusb [05:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about lsusb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:40] bazhang: laptop. i915 [05:40] mcisbackuk: ok attempting now. [05:41] rodolfo: did you try running a 3d app after unsetting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT ? [05:41] rodolfo: listen to the others--the limitations are in the card [05:41] i dont get it. what are you guys trying to tell me? this has to do with my processor or my vc? [05:42] mcisbackuk: it shows up as bus 02 device 003 [05:42] gpu [05:42] rodolfo, you cannot expect a playstation 1 graphics card to play playstation 3 games,. so why do you expect an old processor to work amazingly with new software? [05:42] graphics processor unit [05:42] rodolfo, processor [05:42] rodolfo: your GPU isn't great, but you have LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set, which forces all 3d apps to use indirect rendering [05:42] bod_: man it's not old. this laptop isn't even 1-yo [05:43] rodolfo: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/915gm/index.htm Explains itself....limitations on 3d support, including shader, etc [05:43] Its to keep price down, crap gfx card as standard these days [05:43] salut salut [05:43] rodolfo, it doesnt matter if its new,. it matters how good the chip is [05:43] Hi... why is it that JFS is considerably slower when it's entering a directory than, say, ReiserFS? [05:43] mcisbackuk: now how do i translate that to KPPP? [05:43] Murdock76: Hang on [05:43] Probably a more general question to be asking is, why is Firefox using ~17% CPU time with only one tab, that tab being blank? [05:43] mcisbakuk: i am aware of the users against intel (petitiononline) and they wont listen to us [05:43] mcisbackuk: alrighty [05:43] hi jedounet [05:43] rodolfo, new doesnt always mean better,. [05:43] i thought it was ubuntu-fr! [05:43] bod_: nice [05:44] rodolfo: bod_ 's point was that the chipset was old technology. Cheap and old. New laptop sure, but inexpensive because the tech involved is old. [05:44] I think. [05:44] yesh [05:44] is there a way to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 yet? [05:44] ArthurArchnix, bang on ,.,. cheers for the clarification [05:44] ok [05:45] sudobash, yes but hardy is only in alpha = extremely buggy [05:45] hey everyone [05:45] sudobash: early alpha expect breakage, but yeah [05:45] hi [05:45] !hardy | sudobash [05:45] sudobash: 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 [05:45] ArthurArchnix: so you mean i915 is a low-end vc and it is not capable of running OGL 2.x features. is it? [05:45] what do you guys think are recommended reads about IT security? [05:45] rodolfo, i think its capable just not very well [05:46] April I turn 21... good to hear there will be another release [05:46] Wrathtide, i suggest you make it OS specific [05:46] then [05:46] Is there a way to make ubuntu actually show the boot up process and what it's doing? [05:46] i seem to have compiz partially configure in gutsy - my emerald themes are working and wobbly windows, but when i try to use desktop cube it doesn't work even though it's enabled [05:46] vs just having a "wrapper" screen? [05:46] bruce schneier Wrathtide [05:46] wtf open office just lost one of my documents [05:46] alinon: join #compiz-fusion [05:46] alinon, pm me if u want me to walk you through it [05:46] Guess I'll just disable all extensions and try one by one to get it to behave badly. :/ [05:46] Murdock76: Have a look in /dev/bus/usb/002 what you got there? [05:46] disable splash manlymatt83 [05:46] Murdock76: t du havre? [05:47] bazhang? where? [05:47] bod_: perhaps windows security :P i mean thats what most people use [05:47] manlymatt83: if you press e on the first line, and edit the line to remove "quiet" [05:47] rodolfo: That' the same card I have. It can't do much. What's OGL 2.x? [05:47] bod_: i run NFSU2, max payne 2, wow on winxp very wel with this one. so it's illogical to think that this same gpu wouldn't be capable of running OGL... [05:47] manlymatt83: when grub appears, that is [05:47] hello, anyone know why my screensaver isn't working anymore? I use the restricted nvidia drivers, open gl is working fine. Not sure what else it could be... When my computer is idle for the set length of time the screen fades out, but screensaver does not avtivate, the desktop comes back.. [05:47] ahhh okay [05:47] thanks [05:47] they problem I am having is that i upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 two weeks ago and yesterday I did an apt-get update and then upgrade and now my NVIDIA drivers stopped working... I have tried the NVIDIA-GLX-NEW drivers and they didnt work with any xorg config.... [05:47] ArthurArchnix: openGL v.2 and it's variants... [05:47] rodolfo, different software requires different things,.,. cant talk atm im afraid [05:47] mcisbackuk: 001 and 003 [05:48] cant play my GLX games without a good driver [05:48] gnome has screensavers? ;] [05:48] manlymatt83: err, you have to remove quiet and splash [05:48] Hi... why is it that JFS is considerably slower when it's entering a directory than, say, ReiserFS? [05:48] so i won't go too far with this video card when this is all about openGL...? [05:48] manlymatt83: of course, this is temporary... if you want it to be perment, you ahve to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file [05:48] sudobash: you've got an ATI gpu? [05:49] NVIDIA [05:49] what is the program that allows you to import photos when you plug in a media card from a digicam? [05:49] sudobash do you have the nvidia card driver still installed [05:49] Geforce FX 5200 [05:49] i did but i unistalled i have the new one now.. i was using Nvidia-glx [05:49] Murdock76: If you have a file 003 in /dev/bus/usb then this should work : "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/bus/usb/002/003 /media/usbXX" without quotes in a terminal (where XX is what you want to call it) [05:49] and in think that i've already seen i915-based-sony-vaio somewhere... [05:49] sudobash: you may not use xgl if i'm right, use free or nonfree nv driver [05:49] now it is Nvidia-glx-new [05:50] do you ue playonlinux to play games? [05:50] well X works with nv driver but not nvidia driver [05:50] Murdock76: then point KPPP to that device (the new folder) [05:50] I just play AA2.5 [05:50] it's such a mystery to configure this f** xorg.conf [05:50] brb all [05:50] screw using wine or anything [05:50] c ya [05:50] sudobash use the restricted drivers [05:50] bye [05:50] ok let me try [05:50] use playonlinux it uses scripts for each game and it's contriuted [05:51] do anyone have an idea why my soundblaster audigy isnt giving out any sound ? [05:51] i just installed this system btw [05:51] uninstall all nvidia-glx drivers? [05:51] *b*rb* [05:51] bod_: if you were in my position, would you DL mesa/Xorg/DRI newest driver in order to try to get some performance? [05:51] wims: volume muted? Check with alsamixer. [05:51] !sound | wims [05:51] wims: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:51] sudobash ya install the Nvidia Restricted driver [05:51] i even tried the nvidia installer script from their site [05:51] mcisbackuk: it says mount point /media/usb00 does not exist. [05:51] rodolfo, maybe.,. but a newer driver requires more power so it might be worse [05:51] ok cool i will do that === josiah is now known as josiahw [05:52] sudobash: it's in apt [05:52] how do i install anjuta 2.2.3? [05:52] bod_: and what video card solution would you buy instead? [05:52] hello, anyone know why my screensaver isn't working anymore? I use the restricted nvidia drivers, open gl is working fine. Not sure what else it could be... When my computer is idle for the set length of time the screen fades out, but screensaver does not avtivate, the desktop comes back.. [05:52] does the kppp kde dialer app work in ubuntu? [05:53] sudobash and when you get done with that let me know [05:53] Murdock76: make an ls -l /dev/usb* [05:53] bod_: for laptop*** [05:53] rodolfo, dunno bout laptops but for a desktop i would go for a Nvidia card that supports 3d hardware acceleration [05:53] I'm running Gutsy. How do I get mp3 support for Amarok? [05:53] !mp3 > DigitalNinja [05:53] PoGz: that is a more recent version then in the repos; any reason to do so? [05:53] jbroome: ? [05:54] sudobash: i don't recommand to do like that but there's a python tool called envy who install you drivers automatially, if you are not skilled you may doi like that [05:54] <_xyz> anyone know how to set up a gprs usb modem on a pc for wireless internet (nearly) anywhere in the world? [05:54] read the pm from the bot DigitalNinja [05:54] Murdock76: Create that folder and try putting a / on the etc of the media/usbXX/ < !fonts [05:54] bod_: i wish i could force the vc to stole more memory from the system. is there any command to do this?

[05:55] its stil sitting at a blank screen for 4 minutes [05:55] before loading x [05:55] man the bot commands have gotten complext since i was in here last [05:55] _xyz: off topic for this channel [05:55] i know how to edit Xorg configs and such but the driver says that there is not Nvidia Kernel present meaning the GPU [05:55] i think [05:55] rodolfo, err,.,. u can overclock your processor to run twice as fast,. but ul need a cooling system in there to stop it from blowing up [05:55] jbroome: got it! Thanks [05:56] synaptic says i have the linux-restricted modules 2.6.22.14- 386 version [05:56] mcisbackuk: create a /usb00 folder in /media you mean?

[05:56] _xyz ask google the modem you are thinking a read a forum when someone like you was looking fore a gprs modem (i always do like that i learned linux in a few time) ask google, remember heis your riend [05:57] Murdock76: Yes. I'm not sure if it'll work, but its worth a try, all its doing is pointing the device file to mount to a set folder. [05:57] uname -r in the terminal linux_user400354 [05:57] bazhang: not currently at an ubuntu machine [05:57] 2.6.24 [05:57] bod_: you misunderstood me. the dmesg | grep -i agp command returns "agpgart: Detected 7932K stolen memory." can i increase this value?

[05:58] jedounet: i dont want to know what the latest available kernel is for another distro. i want to know what the latest one that was packaged for ubuntu is. [05:58] type uname -r in a terminal window to find what one you're running [05:58] says i need to restart do i need to edit xorg at all? [05:58] just let apt-get dist-upgrade do it?!

[06:31] bod_: apt-cache policy ffmpeg [06:31] beryl is software made for linux [06:31] which ever one sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gets me [06:31] polopolo, yes, it's what resizes and formats the drive when you install [06:31] beryl will work on ubuntu [06:32] polopolo: as live cd are make to install systems easylly you're nearly sure its on you livecd [06:32] mcisbackuk, yeah it installs an advanced setting for appearance... its much less painful than actually doing all the stuff through Beryl directly [06:32] unop, 3.0 [06:32] it even has compiz built in [06:32] bod_: i think you should get the CVS versions from the medibuntu repositories, they are newer [06:32] Aishiko but i want not reinstall just resize it [06:32] maybe less stable?? [06:32] Aishiko so i can use the Hd for other stuff [06:32] always thought zompiz was installed by default if you selected extra in appearance?

[06:32] unop, indeed [06:32] then live cd and gparted you're right polopolo [06:33] mcisbackuk, nope.. you have to get the rest of the package... to get the cube and all that... you just have the wavy windows with extra [06:33] polopolo, I know I'm just saying that it's there because that is what is used in the install process, just open a terminal and type Gpart if it's not under system or utilites in the main menu [06:33] is Nvidia working with Ubuntu 8.04?

[06:35] that's not what yoou encountered? [06:35] polopolo, yes [06:35] singlesun1: nahh its in extra appearances [06:35] Aishiko: you would choose it in session iirc no need for force ;] [06:35] polopolo: juste burn a live cd and you will see man ^^ [06:35] Aishiko who=ich live cd is the best so far? [06:36] bazhang, then why did it remove my 3.5.8 files? [06:36] singlesun1: what is expo? [06:36] try a xubuntu 7.10 [06:36] lol [06:36] polopolo, right now I'm less then impressed with all of them, but they are all the same just different desktops installed [06:36] green-_, hit windows key and the letter E... you will see... if you have the other stuff working and all...

[06:44] bazhang: its a music making application for linux [06:44] how do i give a file root.root ownership im trying to nstal java docs [06:45] unop, its difficult not being able to actually see it working and i get annoyed,.,.lol,.,.alinon is going for vlc route,. so il let u no [06:45] Himmelsmeister: do you get the terminal prompt? [06:45] unop, well man... i tried tons of stuff... and it turned out that the 64 bit stuff was just really annoying... but then again... i dont know that much abot ubuntu yet... so i had to reinstall 32 and thats what im running on right now [06:45] bazhang: well that's the weird part: i can't even switch to any tty, and still: if i press alt+f4 and then space my laptop reboots... [06:46] Big question, how do i determine if my system is detectin my amd64 dual core or not? how do i detect if its running 64 bit or not? [06:46] green-_: Either way, I think ubuntu fonts are pretty decent [06:46] bod_: no worries, hope he gets it converted [06:46] Johnson: sudo chown root:root the_file [06:46] Himmelsmeister: tried starting up in safe mode? [06:46] unop, ty [06:47] singlesun1: it's actually quite easy if you have a chroot, and much easier if you install the ia32libs [06:47] Himmelsmeister: are you even getting the grub menu? [06:47] singlesun1: but yea, i can see why you moved, you aren 't the only one to have done that [06:47] bazhang: yeah, well there i get the prompt as root, but the same result when i try to startx there... worst part maybe is that even vesa refuses to work with my atix1400 [06:47] danbhfive: thanks [06:47] OK First 7.10 changed gaim to pidgin. Pidgin had problems connecting to xmpp servers, Pidgins board said that the tool to support xmpp might not be in the download and to ask ubuntu users for help. [06:47] uname -a linuxbox 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:28:27 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/] [06:48] SMP = dual core yes? [06:48] unop, i dont even know what chroot is ... lol... and i had the java and flash running but it was alot of work... and i really didnt know what i was doing... so... there was alot of junk files all over the place... [06:48] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg may help Himmelsmeister [06:48] has anyone ever seen system monitors network display have a problem detecting speed ? mine looks like a sin wave, it shows double the speed then zero, then double, then zero, etc. [06:48] aye genji [06:49] bazhang, the x86_64 = im not running amd64? [06:49] Carbonflux: that might be whats actually happening [06:49] bazhang: tried that, but as i said, vesa gives me "Screen(s) found , but none have a usable configuration" [06:49] heeeeeelpu, some process is trying to setuid with gtk and borking my gnome session!!!! [06:49] uhhhh... stupid question ... given that rpm is not on this system... is something else preferred for installing rpms directly? [06:49] Are there any other drivers for X-Fi Xtremegamer soundcard than 64bit? :/ [06:49] unop, hoe do u convert files in vlc? [06:49] genji: x86_64 is the 64bit if that is your question--no idea what processor you have though ;] [06:50] green-: alien, to convert rpm's to apt. [06:50] odd question.... is there any GUI based app that lets you see what connections are currently established to your pc... that updates in real time? kinda like cports did for winblows? [06:50] bazhang, I have an amd64 X2 4200+ ... i used the amd64 cd.... but then i updated... [06:50] danbhfive, it does seem like it, in any speed monitor I try it shows the link going idle and back again, maybe some weird buffering thing ? I have ubuntu same version running on another machine on the same network and its fine heh [06:50] green-_: installing what? best to see if it is the repos first [06:50] mcisbackuk, you didnt fall asleep did ya... lol [06:50] wth, trying to get alien from cd? [06:50] bazhang: avant-window-navigator :) [06:51] aha [06:51] bod_: ok, let me install vlc [06:51] unop, wow! cheers m8 [06:51] is this the right place to ask about "new mail" notification feature in bash? [06:52] genji, I am running that same kernel on a amd64 also, its fine as far as I know. [06:52] acdvs: perhaps, try us :) [06:52] when i try to install flash it asks me for the location of mozilla.. i tell it /usr/lib/mozilla but it says please enter a valid path.. wtf [06:52] bazhang: any other ideas? [06:52] breanna: try not inputting anything there [06:52] safe mode does not work Himmelsmeister [06:52] breanna: just press enter [06:53] errored again [06:53] unop: I set MAIL= and MAILPATH= and MAILCHECK=10 in my .bashrc...but it doesn't work === PyChild is now known as PyAway [06:53] bazhang: what do you mean? what doesn't work in safe mode? [06:53] Carbonflux, So.. amd64 and x86_64 kernels have merged? its also strange that none of my software says amd64.. or any 64 in it. [06:53] hey how do you set ubuntu to automatically apply security updates from the command line? [06:53] Himmelsmeister: ah sorry; does starting up in safe mode not work from grub? [06:53] breanna: hmm, quit the script and try again, this time just press enter [06:54] bazhang: it does, but only without an xserver [06:54] still failed >_> [06:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/150379 how do you fix this. I don't have tracker installed [06:54] acdvs: afaik, you need to configure the MTA to get it to place mail in a particular directory -- try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow exim [06:55] breanna: failed what [06:55] installing flash [06:55] you mean flash player [06:55] anyone know if there is any GUI based apps for monitoring connections to your pc in real time.... like cPorts did for Winblows? [06:55] its asking me for the installation path for mozilla, i tell it /usr/lib/mozilla and it says please enter a validinstall path [06:55] >_> [06:55] genji, well, my hardware info shows 2 64 bit processors and when I compile a C++ program a unsigned int is 64bits [06:55] unop: my MTA getmail is configured correctly and mails arrive in inbox..but notification doesn't happen in bash [06:55] breanna did you install it from synaptic? [06:56] genji, I am dead 100% sure I am running in 64bit [06:56] i'm on ubuntu i didn't even see synaptic on this [06:56] what client do you use to connect irc under gnome please, i use pifgin but its uggy due to my screen configuration [06:56] of course there's no awn package for gutsy.. that would be too easy :) [06:56] I just did a fresh install of ubuntu, and after updating, it starts up with "failed to initialize HAL" dialog. Help please [06:56] system menu --> administration [06:56] oh well, bed then mess w/ it tomorrow [06:56] unop, ??? [06:56] xchat [06:56] *bugy* [06:56] synaptic is in there [06:56] thanks all for the help [06:56] xhat [06:56] xchat seems popular jedounet [06:56] les go for it [06:56] lol sorry to ask this again but my laptop dyed and lost the spelling of it now what do I need to install to start installing bye source [06:56] does ubuntu have synaptic? o.o [06:57] sure [06:57] yes [06:57] See System menu [06:57] breanna: by default, yes [06:57] do apt-get that sort of thing [06:57] it is easy [06:57] thanks [06:57] yes [06:57] that [06:57] jordan17: lost the spelling? [06:57] genji, whats bothering you ? you don't think you are running the right kernel ? [06:57] do you know where i can find it [06:57] lol i cant spell [06:57] system [06:57] system menu --> administration [06:57] genji, I think the generic thing is a metapackage or something [06:58] bazhang: alright, i'll try to look somewhere else... bye [06:58] oh finally found it [06:58] sorry bod_ i musta missed your post - can you post again? [06:58] damn i wish i knew there was here a while ago [06:58] breanna, it will take a while to start it. [06:58] Carbonflux, any clear test for finding a 64 bit application in my system? ya... im wondering if i even installed it correctly... i had my package server set to a new zealand mirror.... which may or may not of had the correct amd64 versions of packages. [06:58] and then you can search for flash [06:58] unop, you were gunna find out how to convert files in vlc,.,. sorry for asking again [06:58] ty === Aloha_ is now known as aloha [06:58] Carbonflux, So, it might of decided to do 32bit packages instead? [06:59] genji, if that was your uname -a line your fine. [06:59] genji, it can't, they are not compatable and won't run [06:59] bod_: right right, just a sec [06:59] unop, cheers m8 === aloha is now known as Aloha [07:00] genji, when you first load does it show a line at the bottom of the screen before showing the flash screen where it shows you the mapping tables ? [07:00] Carbonflux, okay... hmm.. i also wish to install the rt kernel.... its generic? or would it also automatically detect amd64 x2, and install the right support? [07:00] bod_: file -> wizard -> transcode file ... [07:00] ya.. i remember it does show mapping lines.... [07:00] Himmelsmeister: the only thing I can suggest is manually copying the xorg.conf file and then pastebining--you would then have to wget the correct driver and install via command line if it is that badly broken [07:01] genji, that means its loading the 64 bit kernel [07:01] unop, legend cheers dude [07:01] its something like sudo apt-get install credentials <<<< but dont know the spelling of that so i can install programs bye source [07:01] man, anyone here have experience with twinview [07:01] using nvidia [07:01] wow VLC in a terminal is crazy [07:01] and different resolutions on different monitors? [07:01] Carbonflux, hmm.... the 64 bit kernel needs mapping tables? [07:01] !twinview [07:01] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [07:01] now i can kill x and still listen to music awesome [07:01] bye [07:01] see above ShiftyShifty [07:02] bazhang: i'm quite sure that the problem lies not within my xorg.conf (i have a few working versions and tested them all), but i will try to reinstall the new ati-driver and see whether at least that one works... [07:02] nah, i'm trying to do a clone [07:02] not one big screen [07:02] what is it that i need to install so that I cant start installing programs bye source [07:02] i'm just trying to clone what is displayed on my 1280x720 projector to the 1920x1080 TV [07:02] I see [07:02] genji, its just some text it shows where it finds the address range or something, I am not sure what it means really, but if you are running a 32 bit version it does not show those lines [07:03] jordan17: what do you want to install--what is the package [07:03] noting right now i just need it installed i run in to it all the time [07:04] I just booted my computer after resizing some partitions and tried to log in to kdm. When my main account logs in with any window manager (kde or gnome), the screen goes black for a second and then goes back to the login screen. startx shows a black screen and then terminates. Other accounts can log in fine. What can cause this? [07:04] jordan17, you need to install development packages. [07:04] check the logs alex [07:04] yes [07:05] when you do ./configure on the program you're installing, it should tell you what you are missing. [07:05] its sudo apt-get install ******** <<<< thats the part i forget [07:05] Anyway to change gtk2 sudo font size in Fluxbox? [07:05] genji, do a ls /lib and see if you have a x86_64-linux-gnu dir [07:06] Carbonflux, yup. empty, but its there. [07:06] i have a pdf from school and I can't seem to select the text from the file to paste. Is there a different program in linux that'll do it? [07:06] genji, that means its 64bit [07:07] how do i install the development packages thorough sudo apt-get install [07:07] genji, it would say i486-linux-gnu if not [07:07] any console command can replace Update Manager ? [07:07] jordan17: just apt-cache search ; no one can guess the name of what you want [07:08] jordan17: search for the packages you want installing - aptitude search "lib.*package.*dev" -- then install the packages you like.. [07:08] Carbonflux, -nods- Okay. so..... this probably means that any generic kernel in Ubuntu repos, are full, all supporting, kernels? So, if i install the rt kernel.. i'll be fine? [07:09] Sylvia> sudo aptitude [07:09] I don't know about rt kernel genji :| [07:09] geokeratz, thank you [07:10] Open question to anyone. the rt (realtime) kernel ubuntu package. Anyone know anything about it? [07:10] ugh.. i can't get my flash to work at all this is getting me frustrated.. i tried using synaptic to install flashplayer-nonfree but its not showing up in about:plugins [07:11] hi all, is there a file synchronization tools that is two way? [07:11] we all know about it genji what is your precise question [07:11] i had some one answer it before. i need to install this before I can install programs by source [07:12] bazhang, whether its a full kernel, supporting amd64 dual core, or do i have to install source and 'make' my own? [07:12] genji: do you have synaptic? can you take a peek there? [07:13] breanna [07:13] jordan17: did you not get my message? [07:13] yes..? [07:13] I have a libflashplayer.so file in .mozilla/plugins [07:14] I don't remember how it got there. [07:14] heh [07:14] SYN [07:14] hey eveyone [07:14] breanna, i got flash to work, but i don't quite know how. i think i uninstalled flashplugin-nonfree, and then i went to youtube and firefox will install it automatically from there [07:15] Knightwise> hi [07:15] SURE,ANY SITE HAS FLASH ENALED WILL INSTALL THAT ON YOUR SYSTEM [07:15] anyone else experience random system crashes when scrolling in firefox and opera? [07:16] albech: what you mean,random crashes [07:16] i'm not sure what it's talking about when it asks what type of "encapsulation format" i want this in [07:16] vlc [07:16] hi I am using compiz and for some reason when attempting to view a show mythtv crashes and restarts anyway I can track why this is happening and how to fix it ? [07:16] icesword: exactly random crashes.. the system freeze and i have to restart it completely [07:16] holy [07:16] icesword: i cant even kill X [07:17] how long does it take gparted to resize? [07:17] i did that at a site requiring flash, it still didn't install [07:17] albech, killall x [07:17] icesword: it doesnt happen every time i scroll, so its random [07:17] it installed it, it said close firefox and restart and it will work [07:17] albech: ctrl+alt_backspace did not work [07:17] sudoubungu: depends on the size of the partition [07:17] icesword: no.. nothing [07:17] what is the "extened" part in th has that ubuntu has created? [07:17] i did that and it still says plugin is missing [07:17] icesword: i have power down [07:18] bazhang> trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? [07:18] albech: did you have enough memory [07:18] icesword: mouse and keyboard freeze too [07:18] bazhand waited about 10 min [07:18] icesword: 2 gb [07:18] . [07:18] what?oh, then you have to check out if there are any conflict programs [07:18] in your system [07:19] icesword: im pretty sure its a gfx driver problem.. nvidia [07:19] ? [07:19] christ i dont know what is wrong.. [07:19] icesword: cause im also getting random black frames (screen flashing black) [07:19] oh, i see,then you must install its driver [07:20] running: GeForce Go 7400 [07:20] just for good performance,or you have to disabel it [07:20] icesword: ver: 100.14.19 [07:21] hello? [07:21] check graphic card,then go to its offical website,check if exist any driver for linux available [07:22] albech: you hear me [07:23] finally [07:23] icesword: yes, sorry just had ppl at my door [07:23] i uninstalled firefox [07:23] and reinstalled it and it finally worked >_> [07:23] icesword: which website? nvidia? [07:23] holy geeze [07:24] that depends what graphic card you use [07:24] bravo breanna [07:24] gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i wait 10 minutes [07:24] icesword: ok 2 sec let me check [07:24] thanks all for help [07:24] it's not worth it. Flash sucks. Now you'll want flash blocker [07:24] sudoubungu: wait another 10-15 and then ask again ;] [07:24] Whoot. I got Metacity running as a compositor. [07:24] falconer hehe [07:25] Wasn't pretty though. Crashed every few minutes. [07:25] * SeveredCross kicks ATI for making their driver not work with Compiz. [07:25] bazhang> are you serious? [07:25] sudoubungu: I would have said go have lunch [07:25] hav u used the xorg-xgl driver : severedcross [07:25] sudoubungu: are you really wanting an answer now? this could take a while... [07:25] u53r, I don't want to use Xgl. [07:25] It's slow and buggy. [07:26] then i guess you would hav 2 wait until fglrx can support compiz [07:26] u53r: it does now, but it's slow and buggy :) [07:26] Yeah...Did I ever indicate contrary? [07:26] cool [07:26] It claims to, but I can't get Compiz to start. [07:26] i had 2 use xgl some time back [07:27] on an ibm T60 [07:27] That has the same card I have. [07:27] Mobility Radeon X1400. [07:28] SeveredCross: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide will set up the new ati driver, but imho it's not worth it. I went back to standard ati and metacity [07:28] when u say slow wht apps are u going 2 run ? [07:29] gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i waited 35 minutes [07:29] icesword: i found a newer version of the gfx driver.. trying to install that [07:29] yes ,go ahead [07:29] sudoubungu: could take a while [07:30] sudoubungu, did you move a partition from left to right? [07:30] or the other way around [07:30] 10+5 =35? [07:30] if so, it can take a loooong time [07:31] no [07:31] it took me ~5 hours to resize and move partitions around [07:31] what is moving from left to right? [07:32] sudoubungu: did you resize it so you coul make a new partition in front of it or behind it [07:32] hi, I am facing a wiered problem [07:32] one of my server is getting time skew of almost 6 hours a day [07:32] travisat_> i don't understand [07:32] I have ntpd running but still the problem persists [07:33] can anyone shed some light why this might be happening? [07:33] hi, up until a reboot my mouse wheel would scroll through my virtual workspaces when my mouse is over the background, but it stopped working... i tried looking in keybindings and it didnt look weird or anything, anyone have any ideas? [07:33] sudoubungu: when you resize the partition you can either shorted from the first sectors of the partition or the last sectors [07:33] I am using Linux 2.6.20-16-generic [07:33] sudoubungu, its when you change the start or end sectors [07:34] sudoubungu: if you are resizing say /dev/sda2 and you want to make /dev/sda1 bigger you would be affecting the first sectors, if you wanted to make say /dev/sda3 bigger you would be affecting the last sectors [07:35] find it strange that ubuntu's device manager detects my processors but says vendor: unknown [07:35] device: unknown [07:35] HEHE [07:35] that normal, for a amd 64x2? [07:35] your processors have gone missing? [07:36] just less /proc/cpuinfo [07:36] Does anyone else have a problem with running mplayer and flash at the same time in firefox? [07:36] How can i load up "volume control" i'm using 7.10 [07:37] Hello, i've installed a new graphics card, everything seems to be okay with the restricted drivers except that the resolution is much lower than it used to be on a crummy VIA on board card. [07:37] what gives/ [07:37] drewby: many are having flash issues [07:37] bazhang: what do you recommend? [07:37] anakin_: you need to get the right driver for you vid card [07:38] patience drewby ;] its been about three weeks for the 'fix' so far === mojo__ is now known as mojo [07:38] i'm trying to convert a .ogg video with VLC, but i can't seem to get them to play once they get transcoded [07:38] bazhang: linux-rt says.. "Supports Generic processors." [07:38] okay well I guess I just chill and wait for the update [07:38] travisat_: i think its already the best one- the restricted driver feature picked it up from synaptic- am using nvidia-geforce8 [07:39] bazhang, that means it supports Amd64 x2 off the bat? [07:39] anakin_: ah hmm well have you tried changing the resolution from screen resolution control? [07:39] genji: not sure;will google for karma though ;] [07:40] hi guys, nice 2 meet u :D [07:40] abz: that is a simple nick [07:40] got a support question abz [07:40] Bojangles run in terminal gnome-volume-control [07:40] wii Bojangles [07:40] bazhang, ??

[07:48] singlesun1: probably an update did it [07:48] nickrud, hey dude,.,. whats a flash demuxer plugin? [07:48] travisat_, ummm can i remove that from the desktop? [07:48] how long can you do a boring task that is spending time etc? === StaticVec is now known as StaticVector [07:49] travisat_, i dont believe i can "unmount" it... because it is my hardrive... LOL [07:49] Falconer: Yeah, https: works (I went to https://login.yahoo.com) [07:49] Joel, have you tried changing the repositories in the package manager? [07:49] singlesun1: it is a partition of your harddrive you can umount it most likely [07:50] travisat_, i never had this thing pop up by itself before... so it kinda tripped me out when i saw it just now... lol [07:50] Or system-->administration-->software sources. [07:50] singlesun1: did you do an update or install anything? [07:50] Falconer; No, since it didn't seem as though that would have anything to do with why Ethernet would work and WiFi wouldn't? I'll do it now though to make sure... [07:50] travisat_, yep [07:50] oh hmm, I see. [07:51] singlesun1: well probably the update changed some setting so now it is automounting that partition [07:51] no I guess it wouldn't. [07:51] travisat_, yeah i sudo apt-get install/removed a few apps [07:52] Falconer: For 3rd-party software, archive.canonical.com/ubuntu_gutsy is unchecked whereas packages.medibunti.org is checked (and seems to time out a lot) [07:52] singlesun1: well unless its a problem I wouldn't worry about it, unless you install anything dealing with ntfs I would not try copying anything to it, but you can most likely read stuff off of it [07:52] genji: you still around? well considering that amd64 does have a ubuntustudio iso (which is rt kernel) then it should be ok [07:52] bazhang, suppose i could just try it yes? most kernel installs, put the old kernel in the grub boot menu, ya? [07:53] Does the add/remove app program keep a log file somewhere? [07:53] gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i waited 37 days [07:53] days? [07:53] singlesun1: you can check your /etc/fstab file and see if there's a line for the partition there. [07:54] can anyone recommend a good site ripper (supports passwords) ? [07:55] genji: well no kernel master am I, but generally yes that is true ;] [07:55] Does anyone here use xubuntu instead of ubuntu? === jake is now known as orb [07:55] travisat_, pajamian i will check it out... thanks [07:55] #xubuntu does michael ;] [07:56] what! [07:56] genji: if you isntall it by hand it might not [07:56] singlesun1: check the fstab(5) manpage for more info [07:56] man 5 fstab [07:56] Can someone fix FloodBot1? === travisat_ is now known as travisat [07:56] I guess they are not registered [07:57] linux 2.6.24 dramatically improves scorched3d performance on a 512mb ram system over time.. no longer get linear system degradation until scorched eventually fails.. :) (random observation of the day) [07:57] Why are we +Rr ?

[07:57] travisat: it's some annoying person trying to make you quit your client [07:58] i also propose a new ubuntu variant called scorchbuntu.. that just boots into scorched3d, since thats all you need [07:58] has floodbot decided to rise against us? [07:59] it has gained sentience or you are not registered [07:59] LOL [07:59] either way not good [07:59] has anyone else had an sudio problem with gutsy? [07:59] erm.. audio [07:59] none here [08:00] sudio? is that a text to speech module for sudo?

I use VLC and XMMS [08:18] alsa* [08:19] anyone here good with video driver issues? [08:20] I just set up Ubuntu Server 7.10. POP3 works fine, but any client sending mail takes a long time. The server doesn't seem to acknowledge any connection to port 25 for about 20 seconds. Then BAM, it accepts the connection fine. This happens with any e-mail client on any workstation. Even telnetting to port 25 has a 20 second delay. Any ideas? Thanks. [08:20] I know alsa is compatible with a lot and that you should be able to choose which sound driver to use in the app you are using [08:20] XMMS is like that [08:20] with ALSA [08:21] whats the problem johng4lt [08:21] i know more about graphics in linux than anything else i guess [08:21] I have the following graphics cards/video drivers installed: [08:21] Okay, whats a good, hard, test for a linux comp, in terms of gaming capacity?

[08:22] want to multimon in [08:22] 7.10 [08:22] 2.5 works great [08:22] j0hng4lt: it's not possible to have 3d acceleration for both (nvidia is evil) [08:22] better than it did in windows [08:22] I think [08:22] but it stops at 2.5 they have 2.8.2 for windows and you can ride in cars [08:23] I do not need acceleration [08:23] but my comp wont run 2.8.2 [08:23] well do you have it up now without the nvidia drivers [08:23] jbbarnes: it's quite likely that reverse DNS lookups are causing the lag -- ensure that your DNS server is functioning well or disable lookups withing the POP3 server [08:23] you want to use multiple monitors? [08:23] yes [08:23] I do in windows all the time [08:23] its all about the xorg configuration for that john [08:23] I have that working [08:23] with nvidia [08:23] i used to do it in linux with nvidia also [08:23] how? [08:23] it is much easit in windows [08:24] what about America's Army: Special Forces v2.3? [08:24] but the xorg config is where you configure it [08:24] and why is my pc speaker beeping with each keystroke? [08:24] /etc/X11/xorg.conf... and make a backup or multiple [08:24] unop: There is not DNS server within the building, other than the one that belongs to our ISP. Can I disable the reverse lookups within Postfix? [08:24] j0hng4lt; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then when you finish that do nvidia-settings and set that up.. all done dual monitors works [08:24] i think they made a 2.3 for linux but 2.5 is the fastest [08:25] no nvidia supplies a tool now it's easy [08:25] So, cannot do it through the System>Admin>Screens and Graphics [08:25] ?? [08:25] no that screwed it [08:25] cool [08:25] DoveCot is working fine (delivering messages), so I think it's just Postfix having the issue. [08:25] Nvidia rocks [08:25] jbbarnes: yes, but in all fairness you should configure a DNS server, it's easier to troubleshoot issues [08:25] hi guys, up until a reboot my mouse wheel would scroll through my virtual workspaces when my mouse is over the background, but it stopped working... i tried looking in keybindings and it didnt look weird or anything, anyone have any ideas? [08:26] jbbarnes: i dont remember the option, but i guess you can man postconf [08:26] bastid_raZor: you can't use nvidia-settings to set up xinerama with an ati card [08:26] Unop: thanks for the help. Should I configure the linux box to be the DNS server? [08:26] morning [08:26] i just wish i could get my vid accel back so i can play AA [08:26] crdlb; i thought i saw him say an nVidia card..

[09:21] Darthowned: restart your computer, press the F8 key to select safe mode, and log in, that will fix it, iif that doesn't fix it, restart F2 for the Bios, and select to start with the hard drive with linux in [09:21] jqk, any idea, how can I get the suitable inf file, [09:21] jqk, I haven't windows drivers cd, [09:21] I guess Darth0wned loader is screwed [09:22] jqk, can it be done thru bcm43xx-cutter [09:22] Darth0wned: you ve got two ways to fix this,that depends what kind of mbr you want grub or windows [09:22] I didn't manage to find any information about Nvidia 8500 supporting Beryl... Is it possible to get Beryl work on this video-card? [09:22] hableis espananios [09:23] nep: You can try it with bcm43xx-fwcutter, never used it, but it works under ndiswrapper.. you can get the driver online.. [09:23] groovingsoul: it doesnt recognise the windows hard drive in the bios any more so i cant boot in safe mode, also the linux drive doesnt work [09:23] !spainish | koudelka [09:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about spainish - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:23] que?

[09:50] While peeling a right struggle, the monitor screen will be strange and will decrease and to get Anh it is spread [09:50] help me [09:50] sapperjanko: i to enter interactive mode so you can edit, edit like you want, then esc the type :wq to save [09:50] SleepingSloth, ye i just cant figure out whats wronge [09:50] Poul|Raider, are you using two monitors? [09:50] nope [09:50] SleepingSloth, no [09:50] sapperjanko: I suggest using nano or finding a good lesson on vi, I use vi all the time, but it takes a bit of learning [09:51] travisat, vimtutor should help :) [09:51] I like the oreilly book on vi [09:51] vi is good but i like nano [09:52] easier to use I think [09:52] travissat: yea well im only a n00b so doin some tutorials, and this one im doin is usin vi, i was using nano -w for some others [09:52] but vi is better about preserving the original data [09:52] does the ubuntu alt-install cd suffer from this error: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/RAIDvsCrypto?highlight=%28Raid%29 [09:52] Poul|Raider, you'll need to edit it to get rid of the two screens, but i'll post mine, one sec [09:52] SleepingSloth, its almost like it just dont use the xorg.conf [09:52] ok well you first have to learn there are different edditing modes, on for moving about text and another for actually changing the text [09:53] I'm getting an Oops on a relatively simple feisty setup: http://pastebin.ca/875776 [09:53] travisat: how do you delete a line LOL [09:53] Anyone seen it before? [09:53] sapperjanko: dd deletes a whole line in visual mode [09:53] ahh sweet [09:53] oh I might be getting the mode names wrong btw [09:53] travisat, vi has 2 modes: one where you can't exit and one where it fucks up your text :) [09:54] Seveas: well when nano allows regex i will use it [09:54] (travisat, I'm a happy vi user btw, just love ridiculing everything) [09:54] Poul|Raider, some module or something is probably causing a problem i'm no expert, but this might help: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53841/ [09:55] NOTE TO SELF.... use nano till i learn more about ubuntu FULL STOP LOL [09:55] SleepingSloth, taking a look [09:55] sapperjanko: wise choice :-P [09:55] Seveas: I use gvim on windows [09:55] algum brazuca?

[09:56] ok [09:56] any idea why "echo amarok -p | at 7:30 today" wouldn't work? [09:56] can we keep the hypocrisy to a minimum please - if you're going to chastise language from one person, lets keep it consistant, shall we? [09:57] SleepingSloth, just find it funny that i can restart the xserver after installing the driver without it confligting and first after reboot [09:57] ok, try this again, while i'm connected to the internet... [09:58] any idea why "echo amarok -p | at 7:30 today" wouldn't work? [09:58] anyone have a sugestion of how i can install subversion on a breezy box? [09:58] apt-get install subversion? [09:59] awk, that would be way too obvious :) [09:59] breezy, does the repository still exsist [09:59] breezy isn't supported anymore [09:59] why The install is not ubuntu,monitor Screen black ? help [09:59] exactly.. any repo u know of that still carries these packages? [09:59] how can i add files to customized ubuntu livecd? [09:59] awk: compile it yourself? [09:59] cant dont have build-essential installed [10:00] Poul|Raider, i can't offer an explanation. if i were you, i'd save your existing xorg.conf, try using mine (with monitor and screen adjustments) = and see if you still end up in low gfx mode. if you do, your problem, most likely, does not match the one i had [10:00] otherwise i have to start from scrach and install all compilerd, etc.. [10:00] compilers even [10:00] awk: well you can try to use one from say dapper and hope or find one for I think debian sarge [10:00] awk: I would just upgrade the system [10:01] travisat well who ever built this box is an idiot for using that version of ubuntu as a server build [10:02] awk: completely agree at that time debian was the way for an apt based server [10:02] nobody has any clue why at would be misbehaving? [10:02] yay [10:03] travisat http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540963 [10:03] found some alive breezy repos :) [10:03] wow, gl [10:03] i am curious that, how many percentage of desktop computer is microsoft in all your countries [10:04] hi, i am working at a project in openoffice and i use times font , i inserted some courrier lines and now i can;t find the times font to continue, if someone can explain me how or where can i find a solution [10:05] simion314: in the menu, you can just type Time New Roman, and it will work [10:05] font menu [10:05] sorry [10:05] oh just another quick question... how do i remove a package [10:05] sapperjanko: from synaptic [10:06] apt-get remove foo [10:06] yea was thinking something like that.... REMEMBER n00b here [10:06] Calling kexi a second time will start a second kexi process but calling epiphany a second time will not start a second epiphany process. Why do these two programs behave differently? [10:07] sudoubungu: foo is just a placeholder, I was not calling you a foo [10:07] bullgard4: they are different programs so one can expect them to act differently [10:07] and kalarm is jank too. all i want to do is have my computer wake me up. [10:08] bullgard4: epiphany probably checks for running instances and won't start 2 of them [10:08] Hi [10:08] shear: hide an alarm clock inside of the computer [10:08] Anyone using KDevelop here? x_x [10:08] shear: thx, it worked but it do not showed up in that drop down list box [10:08] travisat: Well, if so, why doesn't kexi check that too? [10:08] simion314: i know it doesn't, but i don't know why. found out by accident [10:09] bullgard4: whoever wrote kexi didn't feel like adding it [10:09] travisat: reason i want to use the computer is the actual alarm clock decided to die [10:09] shear: haha [10:09] hello there you all [10:09] travisat: so i'm awake at 3:10 trying to find somethin to get me up in the monrning [10:09] shear: lol I guess I shouldn't suggest cron then [10:09] hehe [10:09] is there an dvd live cdrom that has ubuntu and kubuntu on one cd [10:10] travisat, hah. cronjob written at 3.10 is unlikely to run, i'd guess... [10:10] didn't really want to use cron, but i might. i'm just confused as to why at won't work [10:10] travisat: Linux programs are no matter of feel. [10:10] that you all know of [10:10] add your program to gnome sessions [10:10] bullgard4: sure they are, I could write a linux program right now, and if I felt like I could have it check user name and if it was your user name it wouldn't start [10:11] bullgard4: 2 different programs behave differently. also, epiphany is a gnome application, kexi a kde application. there is absolutely no reason to expect those programs to behave in a similar fashion. [10:12] ? [10:12] yellabs: ? [10:12] ?++ [10:12] yellabs: There is no livedvd that has ubuntu and kubuntu that I know of [10:13] i just made an costum version livecd , running it right now, i was wondering what to do next... [10:13] lol [10:13] im about to upgrade my video driver, but i cant find nvidia go drivers for GeForce Go 7400 [10:13] bullgard4, of course they are - they're written for free. if the developer feels like taking a particular course of action, he will. if the community at large decides to add or change functionality. simple answer. if you don't like it, change it....

[10:28] Macen: s/yum/apt/ ;) === cew_Qute is now known as cwe_PutiecH [10:28] ardchoille: i'm not so interested in kde or gnome to be honest .. let alone a DVD full of the two [10:28] does apt have php5.2.5 available? [10:28] Macen: I beleive so [10:29] great [10:29] so [10:29] HAI.........................................kENALAN?????? [10:29] Macen: http://packages.ubuntu.com to find out for sure [10:29] wait im only seeing 5.2.3 [10:30] Macen: Open a terminal and type: apt-cache policy php5 [10:30] Hi all [10:30] hi. is java + firefox on amd64 not possible without 32-bit firefox? [10:30] I just used aptitude show php5 and it is 5.2.3 [10:30] on gutsy [10:30] it seems 5.2.3 is the latest on gutsy [10:30] what are the major differences between centos and ubuntu? [10:30] Hi. I'm using scons to compile an application for ubuntu gutsy. It says Checking for C library jpeg... no, ERROR: 'jpeg' must be installed! .. What is the package i need for "jpeg library"? [10:30] yea i see lots of 5.2.3's [10:31] Macen: they are different [10:31] in what way? [10:31] Macen: centos is a redhat/fedora derivative, ubuntu is a debian derivative [10:31] what does that mean though? very different commands? [10:31] i'm currently using rhel4 [10:31] not overly impressed really [10:31] am i in for a learning curve with ubuntu? [10:32] whats the best bittorrent client for linux? [10:32] Macen: not commands, but configs and filesystem layout can be a little different, also package manager, I think it is a matter of preference [10:32] Macen: CentOS is based on Red Hat, which uses rpm/YUM. Ubuntu is based on debian, which uses deb/apt [10:32] kijjaz, apt-cache search libjpeg [10:32] Macen: not in my experience [10:32] stephen-mason, Deluge or Transmission [10:32] I use Deluge. I love it [10:32] stephen-mason, i second that, deluge rocks [10:32] Macen: I find it easier to do stuff in the command line in debian based systems, but that is most likely because I know them better [10:32] where would i download that? [10:32] does ubuntu have rsync? [10:32] Macen: yes [10:33] sudo apt-get deuge, stephen-mason [10:33] Macen: centos and ubuntu have the same linux commands but the commands could differ when it comes to administration [10:33] Macen: yes, almost every distro has rsync [10:33] how do i reboot my ubuntu in command line only? [10:33] Macen: fwiw, I have an 8 year old niece who tried Fedora and Ubuntu, she ended up sticking with Ubuntu [10:33] the biggest difference I have noticed is in /etc [10:33] albech: sudo shutdown -r now [10:33] unop__: thanks [10:33] albech: sudo reboot [10:33] ubuntu is a bit alien to me [10:34] fedora/redhat is a bit alien to me :) [10:34] Macen: not surprising if you havent used it :) [10:34] i get invalid operation deuge? [10:34] stephen-mason, my mistake, that should have said sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent [10:34] Macen: Anything new is going to feel a bit alien, but Ubuntu is easy to learn [10:34] yes [10:34] can you use * to represent all files in a dir? Example: pnmtojpeg /images/*.pnm *.jpg [10:34] thankyou, :) [10:34] stephen-mason, no worries [10:34] josiahw: thats probably not going to do what you expect [10:35] what about an application similar to dreamweaver? [10:35] josiahw: yes, that will process all .pnm images [10:35] josiahw: * and spaces in file names causes problems [10:35] josiahw: for i in /path/to/*.pnm; do pnm2jpg $i ${i/pnm/jpg}; done [10:35] unop__: Nice :) [10:36] stephen-mason, it depends - what dreamweaver functionality do you need? [10:36] ardchoille: I dont think his command will do it, the shell is not going to glob *.jpg if they dont exist [10:36] inspired: oh thanks. now it's done thanks. [10:37] i mainly use the css dialog boxes so i dont have to type it, lol, so something simmilar [10:37] unop__: what do you mean for i? [10:37] josiahw: just type in what he said [10:37] what does the i represent [10:37] josiahw: thats part of the command [10:37] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [10:37] , Could anyone tell me hoy to run that from the dpkg directorie? , which command i have to write on the console? [10:37] ah [10:37] unop__: thank you [10:37] josiahw: i represents a variable [10:37] josiahw: "for i in" means "do this for each file in the directory" [10:37] groovingsoul: in terminal run sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:38] ah [10:38] ty, was quite easy, doesn't it xD [10:38] josiahw: if your file names have spaces, you might need to quote $i [10:38] hmm [10:38] unop__: even then it might not work [10:38] i wanted to restart my system so it wasnt in X [10:38] so i can install a new Nvidia driver [10:38] travisat: why? [10:38] josiahw: You can also use "a" or "j" or "g" instead of i as long as you keep track of what your variables are doing and keep them seperated [10:39] unop__: depends on how pnm2jpg handles spaces and filenames [10:39] how do i reboot my system so it only boots in a terminal window with no X started [10:39] travisat: but if you quoted them, i dont see a problem - for i in /path/to/*.pnm; do pnm2jpg "$i" "${i/pnm/jpg}"; done [10:40] anyone? [10:40] damm, it's about a serial device for fax-printting, can i have any model? (i have no fax at all) [10:40] unop__: it probably will work, I just know spaces can cause headaches [10:41] travisat: spaces do cause headaches, which is why you should _always_ quote variables to be safe [10:41] how can i kill X without restarting it, so i get a terminal [10:41] ? [10:41] albech: sude /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:41] stephen-mason, i have a feeling the closest match is to use eclipse, then install a plugin for it called erk, hang on... but your best bet is probably to try some of the options from the repositories, and see which one(s) suit you [10:41] albech: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:42] albech: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get it going againg [10:43] i have installed flash player but its not working? [10:43] :S [10:43] !flash [10:43] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:43] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [10:43] stephen-mason: there is a deb for gutsy floating around that works [10:44] does wine support rpcss service of m$ [10:45] Is it not a good idea to install the flash player from the mozilla site? I did that and it works great. But, did I make a boo boo? [10:45] ardchoille: I don't think so, just harder to uninstall [10:45] travisat: Ah, ok. fwiw, it's v 9.0r115 [10:46] Please input serial device for fax-printing (e.g. ttyS0),, anyone can help me with this? [10:47] groovingsoul: what exactly are you doing? [10:47] hey, how do I unsuspend a process that I accidentally suspended via ctrl-s? [10:48] i checked a fax program, to help a friend, and i didn't finished the lrfax install [10:48] now i'm trying to get somo sound drivers [10:48] groovingsoul: uninstall the fax program [10:48] groovingsoul: then install your drivers [10:48] some* but there's the problem with that fax thing [10:48] unop__: I just get this for each image: ppmtojpeg: Too many arguments. The only argument acceptedis the input file specification. [10:48] oxeimon: I think it's ctrl-Q not sure, but that usually fixes it when I hit ctrl-s in less. [10:48] i want to just stop that [10:49] ok travisat, let's see if it works ty [10:49] pajamian: hahah amazing. thanks so much [10:49] yw :-) [10:49] anyone know where to get packages for "hot-babe" for amd64 arch. [10:49] josiahw: for i in /path/to/*.pnm; do pnm2jpg $i; done [10:49] I know how it is, I do that too when I'm viewing a file in less and go to search and forget I'm not in emacs. [10:50] shade052: google [10:50] !info hot-babe [10:50] Package hot-babe does not exist in gutsy [10:50] :( [10:51] shade052: I'm not aware of that package are you making a genuine request [10:51] unop__: ok that worked ... thank you [10:51] Interesting, "apt-cache search hot-babe" returned the package and desc. (gutsy here) [10:52] ardchoille: ubotu probably doesn't like hot-babe :) [10:52] hehe [10:52] hot babe is in medibuntu iirc [10:52] jussi01: Ah, that's why. Good catch [10:53] I keep forgetting I have medibuntu enabled [10:53] !flash [10:53] 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 [10:53] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

Is a system monitor where i girl removes clothes as the cpu usage increases [10:53] I see [10:53] heh [10:53] travisat: giving error on make [10:55] shade052: well I just install mediubuntu and hot-babe for kicks [10:56] SleepingSloth - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 related to the reboot stuff with nvidia driver [10:56] travisat: how did you get the required pkg? [10:56] When I run System -> Help and Support; which files does Yelp open? [10:56] everyone using ubuntu 7.10 ? [10:56] shade052: google medibuntu, follow instruction to install in apt, then apt-get install hot-babe [10:56] !medibuntu [10:56] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:56] hi dudes, everybody is on unbuntu 7.10 ? [10:56] is it stable ? [10:57] travisat: will try.. thnks [10:57] novato_br: I have been using 7.10 for a while and haven't seen any problems with it. [10:57] shade052: it is really stupid btw [10:57] i think so that i'll get it [10:58] travisat: just wanted to see what the fuss is all about? [10:58] shade052: well of course === PhuzXP is now known as Phuzion [10:59] shade052: not into hentai myself so [10:59] hi guys, i have a weird problem. i can't rename/name files via nautilus in my home directory anymore. can you guys please help? [10:59] oh, and i'm still kind of new to linux. [10:59] elbermungsterses: what is the error [11:00] yes please post the error message if there is one [11:00] well, the rename option shows up on the right-click menu but i can't delete the old name and type in a new one. [11:01] * k3asd buondì [11:01] i can do it fine in the command line, but it's nautilus that's the problem. [11:01] how can i set subdomains on ubuntu 7.10 and apache? [11:01] elius: that's dns [11:01] elius: apache treats subdomains, just like a domain [11:02] i think it's linked to a wierd directory in my home directory called "file:". [11:02] elbermungsterses: well if you can do it in command line but not in nautilus I can't help, I don't use nautilus myself [11:02] ikonia> i want users to type "subdomain.mysite.com" will go to a certian directory, can it be done with apache? [11:02] oh. [11:02] elbermungsterses: somebody else might help though [11:03] elius: id you have a dns name for subdomain.mysite.com pointing at your IP - sure, apache just treats the subdomain in the same way (config/setup) as a regular domain [11:03] okay, thanks anyway travisat. [11:03] elius yes, you need to set the DNS for the subdomain to point to your server then you need to set up name based virtual hosts in apache and have a seperate virtualhost container for each subdomain. [11:03] what path is pidgin installed to? I'm trying to compile a plugin and it asks for the path to pidgin's installation and to its plugins folder [11:04] can anyone else shed some light on my situation. [11:04] ? [11:04] elber try to use thunar and make sure that it's just nautilus that's the issue [11:04] pajamian> im testing it on my pc for now(localhost), how do i configure apache? pretty much lost here [11:04] elius: you need to configure apache to host the subdomain - like a normal domain [11:05] one min and I'll give you more detailed help with it elius [11:05] elius: eg: www.mysite.com = 10.11.216.1 subdomain.mysite.com 10.11.16.2 - it makes no difference to apache what the url is [11:05] okay charles__ [11:05] jenda: dpkg -L pidgin [11:05] now installing [11:06] ikonia> that's not what i want to do, that's simply re-directing, i want to create sub domains so sub.mysite.com will have a root directory of /var/www/sub for example [11:06] hello, does it possible to mount drive from ssh connection ? [11:06] elius: and thats exactly what I've just said [11:06] Kate_mins> yes, fuse can do it [11:06] elius: configure subdomain.mysite.com as a SEPERATE site [11:06] Kate_mins: yes [11:07] ikonia> how do i do that? [11:07] elius: the domain name means nothing to apache - it's just another site, you could have mysite.subdomain.another.subdomain.mysite.com and apache doesn't are [11:07] elius: ok, you need to set up name based virtual hosts for each site you want [11:07] elius: do you know how to set apache up to host a site ? [11:07] I'll find a link fo ryou, one sec [11:07] elius: i am new to Ubuntu,(i have desktop verison) can you explain me what are the steps for mounting drive from ssh ? [11:08] ikonia> just using a simple install, i didnt configure anything on my own, that's why im asking [11:08] elius: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ [11:08] Kate_mins: Places>Connect to server ?? [11:08] elius: pajamian has just given you an excellent link [11:08] thanks pajamian, i've been reading that page but i cant get it to work [11:08] erUSUL: yes , i connected via ssh [11:08] elius: ok, what's the problem? [11:08] hi, is there any chronometer available for gnome or kde? [11:09] how can i change th IP of ubuntu grafically ? [11:09] elbermungsterses : is there a lock symbol on the file you want to rename? [11:09] elius: orlandoj system --> admin --> network [11:09] nope, it's in my home directory, and i can't rename folders either. [11:09] it works fine in Thunar though. [11:10] pajamian> either the subdomain doest work or i'm getting "Unable to open logs error" [11:10] <_rodders> Can I install the server version of 7.10 using the Desktop CD by typing "server" at the point [11:10] <_rodders> of the installation screen [11:10] elius: ok, what happens when, "the subdomain doesn't work"? [11:10] elius: one moment [11:10] ikonia: can you help me please ? [11:10] cool, glad thunar works [11:10] Kate_mins: hopefully - what's up [11:11] pajamian> getting 404 [11:11] ikonia: fine thanks :) how are you ? [11:11] elius: Kate_mins I meant what is the problem [11:11] elius: sorry [11:11] so if you browse to ... say http://subdomain.example.com/ you get a 404 on that page (if example.com is your domain)? [11:11] Kate_mins: I meant what is the problem [11:12] _rodders: no [11:12] ikonia: I would like to mount a drive via ssh ? is it possible ? [11:12] Kate_mins: sure, that's possible. It uses a technology called "fuse" [11:12] there's a wierd directory that appered recently in my home dir called "file:" , shade052 [11:13] pajamian> yep [11:13] elius: ok ... can you paste the virtualhost section of your httpd.conf into the paste bin? [11:13] and i moved in some files with nautilus in root mode to my home directory. [11:13] elbermungsterses : are you sure you did not create it? [11:13] <_rodders> can I install the server edition of 7.10 using the desktop cd version? [11:13] _rodders: no again [11:14] pajamian> yea, just a minute [11:14] ikonia: can you write me the steps to use "Fuse" ? or give me link to a guide on the net ? [11:14] no, it just appeared and inside there are some empty folders. [11:14] elbermungsterses : are you sure you have user permissions for the file you want to rename? [11:14] Kate_mins: there is somethin on https://help.ubuntu.com [11:14] hello [11:14] hi [11:15] how do i install the latest kde on feisty [11:15] !kde4 [11:15] KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[11:18] elbermungsterses: To check to see if root owns any files in your home: find $HOME -user root [11:18] is there any chronometer available for gnome or kde? [11:18] elius: np, looking [11:18] elbermungsterses: depends on what files you moved but do file managment with root privs is usually a _bad_ idea [11:18] that is what i want actually [11:18] i want the latest kde man [11:18] kde4.0 [11:18] amarok stephen-mason seems to get the nod quite often [11:19] Just wondering, what is the best place to discuss multimedia problem on Linux?

[11:26] I mean... command line cvs [11:26] Man there is a mess of packages in the Canonical repositories that offer GNOME themes. No one's unified these packages at all. [11:27] elius: also make sure that apache has permissions to access the docroots (both of them) it needs read access, and it needs write access if you're running any scripts (cgi or php, etc) that need to write to the files there.

[11:34] pajamian, ikonia > i've set "ServerName localhost" and its the same [11:34] travisat: k, thx [11:34] scotch: you might try dpkg --configure -a [11:34] scotch: I think I left out the -a [11:35] elius: you restart httpd? [11:35] bio: I understand, but I play games too, and I have never gone above 2gigs personally [11:35] elius: and the second ServerName is foo.localhost? [11:35] pajamian> ofcourse [11:35] elius: brb [11:35] There is a folder in my trash that I cannot delete, can someone help me please? [11:35] ChrisGibbs: I havent got firestarter installed, i didnt change iptables rules or anything [11:36] LetsGo67: in a terminal cd .Trash [11:36] then rm whatever is there that you want to delete [11:36] BuksH: any clue on the logs ? ( /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages ) [11:36] pajamian> used foo.127.0.0.1, changed it and it works! [11:36] travistat: apparently .Trash doesn't exist. [11:36] what is wrong with the setup for encrypted volumes? [11:36] user_: what kind of response do you get back from pinging your router? [11:36] pajamian, ikonia, thanks alot for your help :) [11:36] LetsGo67: ah well [11:37] does anyone here use grip for ripping cd's? i have a problem with grip. it's freedb querying fails everytime. i also tried asunder but it fails too. any ideas guys? [11:37] elius: well done [11:37] ChrisGibbs: ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [11:37] LetsGo67: do you use gnome or kde [11:37] erusul: I cant see anything in syslog. This is a clean install only using MySQL [11:37] Travistat: Xfce. [11:37] travisat: I get the same error when trying to run configure [11:37] LetsGo67: ah well I don't know about its trash [11:37] bascule: any way to have gkrellm display within a gnome panel? [11:37] scotch: hmm [11:37] scotch: what error [11:38] inertial: maybe, you can tell it not to go to the taskbar ... [11:38] BuksH: and the other log? [11:38] is there any documentation on how to set up encrypted volumes with the 7.10 installer? [11:38] BuksH: maybe it is a hardware error? CPU overheating? [11:38] StrangeCharm_: thats not supported [11:38] ChrisGibbs: Everything was workign fine until laptop ran out of battery last night (hardcrash). Now it seems upset.. eth1 and eth0 both display this behaviour, other LAN clients working fine. IP address is assigned by router, but DNS servers are not fed through properly [11:38] StrangeCharm_: not within the current installer [11:38] erusul: what other log? i am rather new to ubuntu, but windows programmer for eeons. [11:38] StrangeCharm_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [11:39] user_: operation not permitted is firewall, try sudo iptables -F then sudo ping [11:39] ikonia: not even on the alternate install cd? it seems to have support for encrypted volumes, i just can't find documentation on how to use it properly [11:39] !trash [11:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about trash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:39] StrangeCharm_ not sure about the alt/server cd, I don't know [11:39] any poeple who can trouble shoot google earth on Ubuntu for me here? [11:39] elius: the ServerName has to match whatever you're entering in your browser, so if you're entering foo.127.0.0.1 in the browser then yes, that's what the servername has to be. [11:39] how can i install a .rpm package, my archive manager tells that this type is not supported? [11:39] pythonn: alien [11:39] !alien [11:39] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [11:39] elius: but it should be foo.localhost [11:40] user_: what is in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [11:40] bascule: Thanks, still getting same error (Operation not permitted) [11:40] pythonn: don't install rpm's on ubuntu, they are not indended for ubuntu [11:40] ok [11:40] pythonn: what package [11:40] asymptote, a drawing program [11:40] travisat: http://paste.uni.cc/18212 [11:40] elius: and sorry for running off, had to deal with cleaning up my son a bit, he's toilet training. [11:40] ChrisGibbs: I checked it after googling web forums.. it looks nearly empty,"auto Io iface Io inet loopback" [11:40] travisat: that page just seesm to say 'it works in 7.10' when my experiences disagree [11:40] user_: ? make no sense to me at all [11:40] pythonn: that might be in ubuntu repos [11:41] pythonn: best to use something similar from the repos--rpms are bad juju [11:41] ok [11:41] travisat: there's the expected debian-like interface on the installer, but when it's finished, it just doesn't boot [11:41] user1: seems like your eth0 and eth1 are missing then [11:41] StrangeCharm_: well you asked for documentation, I personally use truecrypt on a seperate harddisk and don't encrypt any main partitino [11:41] user_: seems like your eth0 and eth1 are missing [11:42] bascule: Sorry, as requested by you: sudo iptables -F then sudo ping -> I still get "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" [11:42] travisat: 'feature supported' is not documentation [11:42] ChrisGibbs: I see, the network [11:42] user_: sure understood what you said, just not the result :D [11:42] StrangeCharm_: well on that page was a link to a bunch of how-tos [11:42] ChrisGibb: I see, the nm-applet shows connection, oddly enough [11:43] travisat: all of which are not designed for 7.10 [11:43] StrangeCharm_: I see [11:43] ChrisGibbs: using network manager, does it create interface files? [11:43] hello , on the desktop ment : System - Preferences - Remote Desktop , is it possible to change the configuration of "Remote Desktop" from ssh ? [11:43] user_: I seemed to think that nm was just a front for interfaces file [11:43] pajamian> no problem at all, thanks again [11:43] user_: maybe i am mistaken [11:44] ChrisGibbs, baschule: I would think so too, hence the surprise - nm-applet "connection information" shows fixed IP for machine applied correctly, but primary DNS stays on router IP [11:44] !ops > LetsGo67 [11:44] LetsGo67: what are you doing [11:44] ChrisGibbs: ifconfig also shows ip address as assigned by router [11:44] LetsGo67: that command is not a play thing [11:44] user_: you are using static IP? thought you wanted DHCP [11:45] user_: maybe try editing /etc/network/interfaces by hand and restarting networking (lets rule out nm for sure) [11:45] travisat: 7.10 is the first version of ubuntu to allegedly support encryption out-of-the-box. except that my experience is that it doesn't work like expected, so i'm looking for the documentation that explains how it *does* work [11:45] ikonia, I sent it to myself, will they envade my pms now? [11:45] my router assigns the static IP for the machine via DHCP [11:45] bascule: my router assigns the static IP for the machine via DHCP [11:45] I know how to program, where can I find out how to start hacking on an ubuntu package such as gnome? [11:45] user_: dichotomy of terms [11:45] LetsGo67: it summons operator staff [11:45] StrangeCharm_: looks like you have to use the alternate install cd and set up lvm in it to get to the encrypted options [11:45] user_: you couldnt call that a "static" ip -- more a "permanent" dhcp lease [11:45] that is to say, hack around on the gnome source and use it locally [11:45] LetsGo67: best to /msg ubotu keyword [11:45] user_: dhcp and static are different things [11:45] unop: lol [11:46] bascule, not necessarily [11:46] LetsGo67, oh sorry, now I get it. [11:46] LetsGo67: operators also have highlights on the call, just /msg ubotu if you want to see who are ops [11:46] Any advice on troubleshooting LAMP server (Gutsy and Hardy) reboots? happens every hour like clockwork [11:46] bascule, ISC dhcpd is perfectly capable of issuing static IP addresses :) [11:46] Seveas: ? well d stands for dynamic :)) [11:46] ChrisGibbs: i'm serious [11:46] 's head pops [11:46] But their names do not show up in the chat room. [11:46] travisat: i've been playing with the alt-cd for a few weeks; i've found encryption options, i've set them up the way that i'd expect it to work, with or without lvm, but when all is said and done, my systems never boot [11:46] daemon [11:46] unop: i know :) [11:46] hello everybody [11:47] hi doktoreas [11:47] unop, seveas, bascule: I tell the router to assign a "static IP via DHCP", the machine accepts it via DHCP without prior knowledge, so its a static IP, dynamically assigned? [11:47] hello , does it possible to change the settings of "System - Preferences - Remote Desktop" from ssh ? [11:47] i am using powertop to check power consumption, and i noticed that 66% is coming from nvidia [11:47] user_: what does D in DHCP stand for? [11:47] user_, that would be a correct description [11:47] unop: dynamic!! would you like me to change it re: my issue? [11:47] Did I just call the ops on myself? [11:47] Seveas: errm no - it's not SHCP eh? [11:47] LetsGo67: you can set highlights on certain words, and many ops (including myself) have a highlight on ! ops (without the space), incase the bot lags or is down [11:48] this is better than #trivia [11:48] :D you're torturing a noob here [11:48] unop, dude, read the dhcpd manual [11:48] stdin, I didn't know that irc does that. [11:48] unop: user_ i think we are getting caught up in terminology, i think we understand the problem that is occurring [11:48] ChrisGibbs: maybe i should do the interfaces manually, do I have to deactivate nm-applet [11:48] ISC dhcpd is perfectly capable of issuing static IP addresses via dhcp [11:48] and so can many routers [11:48] unop: my dhcp server sets static IP so some hosts, it's still dynamic for others [11:48] i guess the DHCP server can always bind an ip to the requesting MAC, not hard really ... [11:48] LetsGo67: it's a client setting [11:49] stdin: i think it would be correct to say your DHCP has a permanent lease assigned for certain computers [11:49] user_: you can kill the nm if you want and manually config the interfaces if you want [11:49] bascule: perhaps "static ip" refers to client side setting? it always gets assigned the same IP [11:49] StrangeCharm_: well I can't find anything on it, so well sry [11:49] My time is wrong, is says 12:49, can someone help me change it please? it constantly changes on its own. [11:49] Any pointer for troubleshooting hourly ubuntu server reboots. Its driving me crazy! [11:49] travisat: thanks for trying [11:49] ChrisGibbs: i shall try that [11:50] unop: no, it just sees that it has a certain MAC and so gives it a specific IP with a standard lease [11:50] user_: despite all this, operation not permitted on sudo ping is the first hurdle IMO :) [11:50] BuksH: examine your server's logs? [11:50] StrangeCharm_: I find personally that encrypted the root partition slows stuff down, it might be better to have a seperate home partition encrypted [11:50] stdin: exactly what i meant, even though that interface with that MAC address always recieves the same IP address, i wouldnt call it _static_ [11:50] StrangeCharm_: and there are a lot of tutorials to do that floating around [11:50] unop: which server logs? i have looked as system log, but find nothing strange [11:51] unop: it doesn't change, what else would you call that? undynamic? [11:51] BuksH: ruled out hardware problems? overheating, peripherals, etc [11:51] bascule: as this happened after hard crash, I am wondering what could have been corrupted last night? Ive got a couple of years of stable ubuntu wlan action out of this machine.. [11:51] stdin: well, if i took away your DHCP server away and put another in its place, does the client still get the same IP address?? [11:52] stdin: its still dynamic, yes [11:52] unop: yes, because it uses the standard dhcpd config files, so all servers will read it :) [11:52] unop, quit it now. [11:52] lol [11:52] does someone knows where is the configuration file of "vino" (remote desktop) ? [11:52] !ot [11:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:52] unop: not realy, i have limited other hardware to test on, but will try another box. are there any howto's to learn more. [11:52] travisat: and i have worked out how to do that. however, i want a certain measure of protection from analysis of my install [11:52] this is a support channel, no hair-splitting-because-you-lost-an-argument channel [11:53] user_: well I am out of ideas, only seen operation not permitted once on ping, and it ws my own over zealous firewall [11:53] ChrisGibbs: killed nm-app, defined wlan using network-manager, now interfaces file shows "iface eth1 inet dhcp, wpa....auto eth1" ping still says operation not permitted [11:53] Seveas: you seem to imply that i-lost-an-argument :) [11:53] travisat: problem solved, cups couldn't start in chroot and tahtS why the deinstallation didin't work... [11:53] StrangeCharm_: ah well good luck on it [11:53] scotch: good [11:53] bascule: thanks, maybe I should totally deactivate iptables? [11:54] user_: iptables -F shoul do that [11:54] thanks for the help ;-) [11:54] user_: try -X and -Z too [11:54] !scotch [11:54] can you control ubuntu via windows with remote control? [11:54] bascule: iptables -X -Z? [11:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about scotch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:54] !remote control [11:54] user_: different lines each time [11:54] how do I get the GNOME source and where does ubuntu put it? [11:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about remote control - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:54] white_eagle: yes, use vncviewer [11:54] white_eagle: yes, you'll need a vnc viewer [11:54] LetsGo67: msg the bot please [11:54] white_eagle: vncviewer works well [11:55] user_: are you trying to ping by host name or dns? can the router ping you? (provided iptables is disabled) [11:55] user_: then iptables -P OUTPUT -J ACCEPT [11:55] bascule: thanks ChrisGibbs: will try that now.. I am trying to ping router by IP and vice versa [11:55] bascule, -P OUTPUT ACCEPT (no -j there) [11:56] is it possible to get java applets working with firefox 64-bit? [11:56] Seveas: oh yeah [11:56] I can't log in to my bank, among other things [11:56] thanks user_ unop and BuksH [11:56] any way to quickly kill a X app through the GUI (something like CTRL+ALT+DEL kill app on windows)? [11:56] :) [11:56] it's a policy not a table .. :) [11:56] FFighter, xkill [11:56] and click on the thing to kill [11:56] Seveas, thank you! [11:57] FFighter: the system monitor is a very close kin to the task manager too [11:57] FFighter: its in system/administration [11:57] in the loginscreen my keyboard is qwerty, and in ubuntu it's azerty. How can I get both on azerty? [11:58] how can i disable nvidia driver and come back to opensource one? [11:58] bascule ChrisGibbs: router: 5 packets 100% lost (ping), ping from pc to router 100% packet loss [11:58] user_: but no operation not permitted :) [11:58] doktoreas: change the nvidia driver to nv in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but be careful [11:58] bascule yes :) [11:58] bascule: lol [11:58] well thats one down, now for the rest [11:58] :D [11:59] user_: is this a wired or wireless interface? [11:59] bascule: thanks, will i have to leave iptables off permanently now? I wish i could understand why my perfectly working ubuntu "changed" due to a crasgh [11:59] unop: I have tried both eth0 and eth1 display the same behaviour [11:59] user_: you reckon its an iptables issue? [12:00] user_: well I dont no try this line iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESABLISHED -j ACCEPT [12:00] unop: ive been googlign around, bascule suggested it due to "sendmsg: not permitted", tehre are some hits on forums. but ceteribus paribus etc [12:00] bascule: will try taht line [12:01] bascule: DISCO!! but how.. why..? :D [12:02] firewall rules came from somewhere, I dunno where [12:02] some1 expert on ethernet and its protocols? [12:02] bascule: is this fix permanent? [12:03] don_: in regards to ubuntu? [12:03] yeah [12:03] don_: whats the issue? [12:03] does someone knows what is the defualt port of vino (remote desktop server) ? [12:03] user_: no, I would add it at boot up, but this may be a one boot issue, I tend to use a shell script that I run myself to get the net up on my machines [12:03] first, is a discprenance between mii-tool and ethtool normal? :) [12:03] thanks bascule, ChrisGibbs, unop, seveas.. [12:04] bascule: is this really the only way to configure it permanently? was always working for me before [12:04] Kate_mins: it depends on the vnc instance -- from 5900 upwards [12:04] don_: what kind of discrepancy are you seeing? [12:04] user_: well we/you need to find where the iptables rules were being set [12:04] user_: and unset them [12:04] eth1 Speed: 1000Mb/s [12:04] unop_: there is some command i can type on the terminal that will show me the port of vino ? [12:05] mii-tool eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok [12:05] Kate_mins: when you have vino running -- netstat -ano [12:05] user_: bascule so it was a firewall issue all along? I thought that was off ages ago...... lol [12:05] Kate_mins: 'sudo netstat -pant' will show all listeners [12:05] can i install ubunto to a system with no dvd or cd rom?? I currently have windows installed and running on it, but i want to replace it with ubuntu? [12:05] ChrisGibbs: operation not permitted gave it away [12:06] mii-tool: capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD [12:06] bascule: thanks for your support, I have applied the firestarter "wizard" settings for eth1 [12:06] user_: that should do, I hope [12:06] and you are welcome [12:07] it was kinda fun on a day off :) [12:07] plop [12:07] bascule: thanks for the tips as well :) [12:07] is there good adresse for howtos to make a gnome theme ? [12:08] ChrisGibbs: welcome :) [12:08] bascule: this whole iptables stuff bit oblique to me.. [12:08] hi [12:08] i have a live cd on my notebook running ubuntu next to the system and they are connected through network, is it possible to use the notebooks dvd or can i copy some basic installation file before the actual installation? [12:08] mimilus: best way is to look at one already made [12:08] user_: bascule would it be worth considering firestater (or similar) ?? === no0tic__ is now known as no0tic [12:09] it takes time to learn, your own lan is the best way with a net machine and a laptop, mess around on the laptop and break and fix things till it makes a little sense [12:09] ChrisGibbs: sorry, didnt copy you in, I just used the firestarter wizard to create a config [12:09] yes but is there so tools ??? to do it travisat [12:09] albech: you can use wubi to isntall ubuntu from withing windows [12:09] bascule: yes, am just nervous I end up with win98 type "software firewall" :D [12:10] unop__: will that completely allow me get rid of windows and its partitions? [12:10] !info hot_chick [12:10] Package hot_chick does not exist in gutsy [12:10] FUCK [12:10] user_: never, iptables is sane, win firewall is a bullet-proof vest on the inside :) [12:10] mimilus: no tools really most themes are images and code [12:10] albech: errm, i dont think so - i reckon wubi needs suff to remain on the hdd for it to work [12:11] albech: do you have any free partitions on the comp? [12:11] travisat , do you know where i could find some infos to do a theme ? [12:11] unop__: i could put wubi on a flash card? [12:11] hey does anyone here use wbar? [12:11] unop__: i could clear a partition [12:11] mimilus: not off hand sorry, but I have tried before and I just looked at how a theme I had on my computer was made [12:12] albech: errm, that woul depend on whether your machine is capable of booting from the flash disk [12:12] oxeimon: watch the language [12:12] unop__: let me check that rq [12:13] user_: bascule ah. I havent used iptables for a while now... looks like im going rusty...... time to replace my Cisco 837 with iptables :) [12:13] bascule, ChrisGibbs: thanks very much again, ciao [12:13] laters user_ [12:14] I'm looking for a flexible and open IM-standard to replace MSN. I find Jabber to be amazingly quirky, so I was hoping there is something else. [12:14] I'm looking for a program thad detects any press of keyboard or mosue and than logs this presses.

[12:15] bazhang, pidgin is not a IM standard [12:15] frojnd: a key logger? [12:15] bazhang, aye, I'm talking about protocols though. [12:15] eitreach: ah I see; perhaps kbrooks could assist ;] [12:15] bazhang, something like this yes. Do u know any? [12:15] eitreach, are you sure _Jabber_ is quirky? the programs implementing jabber might be. [12:16] kbrooks: im standard? [12:16] kbrooks, I'm trying to use my Gmail to use with it, and find a way to add MSN-contacts.. perhaps it's just the problem. [12:16] I do use pidgin.

I'll try that out first. [12:19] frojnd: better stop discussing it [12:19] bascule, I would configure it for myself, because someone is using my comp when I'm gonne here..

[12:20] frojnd: better than a keylogger [12:20] but other more fine to figure it out what this person want.. [12:20] frojnd: just lock your screen then password protect it in screensaver mode [12:20] keylogging wouldn't protect it anyhow. it'd just make you able to see what it was used for.

[12:22] it can log links...that the mouse clicks [12:22] :[ [12:23] Hey all, could someone please help me debug some horrible, horrible fps with xgl/compiz-fusion? [12:23] anyways, I would suggest just password protecting the comp, much easier. [12:23] whats wrong with it [12:23] have you been to the main channel for that stealthy? [12:23] frojnd: setup some rdesktop software and monitor from remote [12:24] hello all, i have my ipod connected in Amarok but the transfer button is not clickable, anyone know what's wrong? [12:24] bascule, I'll check [12:24] #compiz-fusion stealthy can help alot [12:24] yaaaaaawwwn [12:24] nemilar: ? [12:24] luis_: did you drag some files over to transfer? [12:25] unop: travisat http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=546943&highlight=ram [12:25] i keep forgetting that the internet is international, and ya'll are awake 24/7 [12:25] oh , no, lol [12:25] hahhaa [12:25] bazhang, thanks [12:25] nemilar: do you also forget about the channels topic ? [12:25] thanks dude [12:25] let me try that [12:25] luis_: that might help, maybe ;] [12:25] ikonia: relax man, I haven't had my coffee yet [12:25] nemilar: keep the noise in the channel down then [12:25] can a whole folder be dragged? [12:25] luis_: sure [12:25] nemilar: tell the bot ;] [12:26] kbrooks, I can't figure out how I am able to register with other services in pidgin. [12:26] np stealthy [12:27] eitreach, you have to find another jabber server, set up a transport and use that transport transparently [12:27] matt__: get to the source of the issue - what does the bios say? === Q_Contoxicated is now known as Q_Continuum [12:28] matt__: I think you might be SOL I can see dell doing this to your comp [12:28] I now do have files in the dragged in to be trasfered, but the transfer button is still not clickable :S [12:28] travisat: i almost completely agree... [12:28] unop: i'll take a reboot sometime, but not now, off to school. [12:28] luis_: does amarok recognize the mp3 player is attached? [12:28] yes [12:28] hi folks [12:28] matt__: that is why I build me computers myself and don't go dell [12:28] it displays the files on it too [12:28] luis_: first need to hit connect [12:29] I did connect [12:29] hmm odd [12:29] hi [12:29] luis_: you dragged the files from the collection window to the devices window? [12:29] yes [12:30] i have a desktop at home that i need to turn into a dhcp server. it's got an atheros wireless card. the only problem is that i don't have internet at home. how should I go about solving that problem? [12:30] why does apt lock the directory when its only downloading stuff? :-( [12:30] holy! I got it to woek [12:30] work* [12:30] bazhang, no one's around in there. It's probably something simple anyway. [12:30] nice job luis_ waht did you do? [12:30] if package doesn't have man, how can I get any info how to use a program [12:30] I had to drag it right over the stuff on the ipod >_< [12:30] lol [12:30] stealthy: wha tis the issue? [12:31] bazhang, I get very very very low fps on anything with compiz-fusion enabled, which is new [12:31] frojnd, either it has a help, or maybe there's a -doc package for it, and maybe in /usr/share/doc/ and Google [12:31] I thought it was meant to be dragged over the window to the right [12:31] lol [12:31] this is a new install of xubuntu [12:31] frojnd: i hesitate to ask..what is the package? [12:31] but thanks got that bazhang [12:31] luis_: the top-half of the left pane is where to go [12:31] on kubuntu, on an identical laptop, I didnt have this issue, hence my thinking its something simple. [12:31] bazhang, lkl ofcourse :) [12:31] luis_: no worries ;] [12:31] I also had to apt-ge tinstall xserver-xgl [12:31] never had to do that before either [12:32] luis_: you can also drag and drop from collection window to the device button on the left edge [12:32] hello. I have a large .tar.gz-file and I want to extract only files that match a filename pattern (based on suffix). how do I do this? [12:32] Hi, sorry, i had to log off for a minute.. I'm trying to sort out the source of my problem that smbfs mounts are quicker than cifs-mounts.. on the way i found that mii-tool and ethtool don't say the same (as i understand it) [12:32] yeah, thanks a lot, I love this IRC channel, lol [12:32] bazhang, noo direct rendering for some reason [12:32] stealthy not much up on xubuntu; is this an nvidia card? [12:32] cizarro, you could use tar t and pass it through grep or such to generate the file listing, then pass that to tar x [12:32] where could i donwload the .deb files for a dhcp server? are there any special dependencies attached? [12:33] bazhang, no, gma950 [12:33] Peaker, the tar-file is huge. I'd rather not go through it twice. [12:33] Peaker, there is something in /usr/share/doc/lkl [12:33] single-pass solution would be best [12:33] is it recommended to manually install nvidia drivers from nvidias website? or should i use the ones avaialble in the packagemanager? [12:33] arg I just saw this stealthy; you need to grep something ...scrolling up [12:34] kbrooks, alright, I am now registered with a server, and with the msn gateway. Now what do I do in Pidgin? [12:34] cizarro, I would guess that whatever small portions it goes through will get cached, and its same O() :-) [12:34] frojnd, what's lkl? [12:34] albech: you will probably have to reinstall everytime the kernel version changes [12:34] Peaker, it is compressed. hence not seekable. tar will need to go through _all_ of the .tar.gz [12:34] cizarro, I see [12:34] Peaker, userspace key logger [12:34] Peaker, and decompress it completely too, even for t [12:35] bazhang, glxinfo | grep direct [12:35] direct rendering is off, and i think i know why, brb [12:35] me o [12:35] don_: the driver i was running was very old and it had some serious crash bugs [12:35] * scorpian o [12:35] cizarro, I don't think tar itself has any such option.. you could extract it all then remove whatever you want? [12:35] cizarro, and again, the same O() claim :-) [12:35] Peaker, it's more than 50G of data uncompressed :-) [12:35] don_: is there a way to update the drivers in the 'restricted driver manager' ?? [12:35] albech: the driver you ran from the packagemanager? [12:36] lo all, I'm having problems running the installer from the live cd at the moment, and tbh, it's not a suprise as I've just noticed the spec on the machine handed to me by a friend, it's a PII 300mhz with 192mb ram lol [12:36] Peaker, anyhow, thanks for the effort :-) [12:36] don_: yes [12:36] albech: well, sould update as it updates every package... [12:36] cizarro, use the v(erbose) option and pipe it into a shell/python script that immediately deletes stuff it doesn't like :-) [12:36] Peaker, hah :-) [12:36] jedimaster, I'd use the alternate install cd. 192mb of ram is too little. [12:36] Is it Xubuntu that is the cut down ubuntu that would work on it? [12:36] albech: do you have gutsy? [12:36] i have a desktop at home that i need to turn into a dhcp server. it's got an atheros wireless card. the only problem is that i don't have internet at home. how should I go about solving that problem? [12:36] how can i be root? [12:36] don_: its still the same driver i had when i installed.. and yes, gutsy [12:37] jedimaster, the alternate install cd also installs Ubuntu, but without the graphical interface. [12:37] what is the command to be root? [12:37] JediMaster: you might also consider #fluxbuntu [12:37] thus lowering the amount of needed resources. [12:37] !root | visof [12:37] visof: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:37] visof: sudo [12:37] albech: i used to have the same problem, but i upgraded to gutsy... [12:37] !requirements-#xubuntu | JediMaster [12:37] JediMaster: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Xubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingXubuntu [12:37] JediMaster: or the minimal install === scorpian is now known as guesss [12:37] eitreach: is there any point in installing it if it's not likely to run when installed anyhow? [12:37] don_: i am running v 7.10 === guesss is now known as scorpian [12:37] thanks bazhang [12:38] JediMaster: it might run--but gnome would be slooow [12:38] albech: yeah, me too, weird.. [12:38] albech some option is required? [12:38] ahhh need cigarette and walgreens doesn't open for 20 more minutes [12:38] albech: do you have nvidia-glx, -dev or -new? [12:38] (installed) [12:39] whats the hardy chan? [12:39] #ubuntu+1 [12:39] i can't use mk command with sudo [12:39] what should i do? [12:39] don_: let me check.. what has been happening since install is that the whole system crash (require hard reboot) randomly when scrolling in firefox and opera [12:40] ta [12:40] mk? visof [12:40] i thought it was make [12:40] bazhang didn't you study c before? [12:41] There is something called "mk" ? [12:41] I try it again: I'm trying to sort out the source of my problem that smbfs mounts are quicker than cifs-mounts.. on the way i found that mii-tool and ethtool don't say the same (as i understand it) [12:41] i before e except after c is all I know of c [12:41] o [12:42] grep [12:42] scorpian: wrong shell mate :D [12:42] don_, what is your question? [12:43] don_, ethtool and mii-tool use different interface to the kernel. ethtool = more modern (netlink), mii-tool = obsolete. depending on NIC drivers, one or other will work, ethtool being the more implemented one nowadays. [12:43] Anyone here used Fluxbuntu before? [12:43] JediMaster: I have. [12:44] JediMaster: yes, on the eeepc ;] [12:44] JediMaster: I even have it installed on my friend's computer. He like it and is new to linux. [12:44] bazhang: think this machine can cope with running firefox, apache2 and mysql? [12:44] cizarro: ok, so it could be possible, that mii-tool doesn't recognise a 1gb-ethernet ? it says that it negociated on 100-FullDuplex while ethtool says "speed: 1000Mb/s" [12:44] on flux [12:45] don_, yes [12:45] => [12:45] xchat sucks =D [12:45] JediMaster what machine, you've just told use the desktop - nothing else [12:45] don_, if ethtool works, use it. forget about mii-tool. [12:45] I need some help with the 2.6.24-rc5-zen1 kernel and tha ath5k wireless driver [12:45] nope, I said earlier =) PII 300mhz 192mb [12:45] Thomas: where are you getting that kernel ? [12:45] the repositories [12:45] JediMaster I missed that, your a bit shy on ram and processing power, depends how busy they are going to be [12:45] JediMaster: firefox is the question mark [12:45] Thomas: which ones ? I can't see that quetion [12:46] cizarro: ok thanks [12:46] Thomas: question ?? sorry kernel [12:46] Don't know really [12:46] hehe [12:46] Thomas: you don't konw which repo your getting it from ? [12:46] cizarro: do you know causes for a different speed between smbfs and cifs mounts? [12:46] slack repos? [12:46] don_: encyption layer mostly ? [12:47] don_, differernt protocols more or less. smbfs uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP. CIFS uses SMB directly. [12:47] don_, also different negotiation and all kinds of other stuff. [12:47] not, i just look up madwifi in synaptics and about thre kernels pop up with it [12:47] don_, cifs mounts quickly here though. you might check your network traffic to debug [12:47] Thomas are you using xen ? [12:47] ciizarro: yeah, the mounting itself is no problem [12:48] not now, i can't get ath5k to see my wireless card [12:48] Thomas: are you planning to use xen ? [12:48] if I can get ath5k configured [12:48] Thomas: so thats a "yes" [12:48] yep [12:49] why some of my session programs have some delay in starting up(example:compiz fusion)? How can i dilucidate this? [12:49] cizarro: but the transfers.. other way round, if i get a file to a windows -machine (working on it) it's very quick. so i guess the problem must be cifs..? [12:49] ikonia, what kernel are you using [12:49] oi [12:49] Thomas: doesn't matter what I'm using [12:49] hi Dukan [12:50] why so harsh [12:50] haha fala portugues bazhang? [12:50] Thomas not being harsh [12:50] !br| Dukan [12:50] Dukan: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [12:50] aahh [12:50] hhhahahhaha [12:50] Dukan: brasil? [12:50] fanfarroes [12:50] ye [12:50] yes [12:51] don_, you didn't mention anything about transfers being slow. only mounts. [12:51] Thomas: I can't see that kernel in the ubuntu repo's at all [12:51] Dukan: type /join #ubuntu-br [12:51] Thomas: please confirm the version again please. [12:51] why some of my session programs have some delay in starting up(example:compiz fusion)? How can i dilucidate this? [12:51] ach, zugzwang [12:51] don_, there is a bug in win xp >= TCP/IP stack in window scaling option negotation, you might be hitting that [12:51] I am cheking, just a minute [12:51] cizarro: sorry, i meant the transfers from these mounts.. the mounting itself goes well [12:51] ubotu, here have very emotion [12:51] yaser: dilucidate? not sure what you mean there; what card and what driver do you have [12:52] don_, what do you mean by "slow" then? [12:52] I'am studying english. [12:52] i'm not able to watch a movie within a cifs-mounted directory, but with smbfs it works without freezing every five secs [12:53] :-p [12:53] bazhang, how can i know the reason [12:53] that's slow :) [12:53] Thomas: I'm just checked the most current listed is 2.6.22 [12:53] yaser: how slow we talking about [12:53] bazhang, yea i know [12:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623874 [12:54] I have installed sun-java6-jdk and it works fine. But in the path if I write "java" I get response from a java 1.5.0, "gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Ubuntu 4.2.1-5ubuntu5)". How do I install this one? [12:54] baz, look [12:54] bazhang, i dont think is a CF problem [12:54] Sorry, how do I UNINSTALL that, i mean [12:54] Thomas: they are not ubuntu packages [12:54] yaser: you mentioned cf--how slow? [12:54] I am using gutsy gibbon 7.10 with 2.6.22 generic [12:54] I applied a theme, but it doesn't work in those applications I run with sudo...how can I correct this? [12:54] Thomas: that is a package that a user has built [12:54] Blinkiz: run: sudo update-alternatives --config java [12:55] bazhang, i mean that at session startup it doesnt start [12:55] bazhang, thanks, but I'm studying about linux and english. haha [12:55] bazhang, till some second laters [12:55] bazhang, sometimes a minute [12:55] Pici: Thanks, it was a nice little program. But I don't really need the other java. Should I uninstall it? [12:55] yaser: that is not a terribly long time--everything else works fine then? [12:55] cizarro: so basically: a cifs-mounted directory is much slower than a smbfs-mounted directory.. and i don't have any clue where to look for the problem [12:56] Thomas, are you from LB? [12:56] bazhang, yea it is not a big problem but... [12:56] LB? [12:56] Blinkiz: I think it might be set as a depends for some critical packages, I usually just leave it alone.. [12:56] Linux Brasil? [12:56] don_, quite busy now, but I'd start with google if I was you. something like "cifs much slower than smbfs when transffering data to windows from linux". [12:56] Pici: Ok, thanks for the help [12:56] No, [12:56] Dukan: this is not really a chat channel--you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic for that ;] [12:57] bazhang, if i look into System->Preference->Sessions then i see there are some services that appear unnconected [12:57] cizarro: if i hadn't done that, i wouldnt be here :D [12:57] afferson [12:57] yaser: which services? [12:57] bazhang, then at some moment all of them(included CF) start workning [12:58] yaser: after a 60 second delay? [12:58] bazhang, yeap [12:58] yaser: want to trade computers? ;] [12:59] my gutsy takes 2-3 mins to boot ;[ [12:59] bazhang: same [12:59] bazhang, look, im talking after i enter my gnome session [13:00] bazhang, everything loads and i can work perfectly, but a minute after that [13:00] yaser: well sounds like a service conflict--though this is just a guess [13:00] back [13:00] bosta [13:00] alguém gosta? [13:00] bazhang, what should i try, i have played with priorities but nothing [13:01] Quem come bosta aqui que se fale alguma coisa [13:01] yaser: have you tried shutting down some of the services and see how that affects it? [13:02] Dukan: please english and ontopic [13:02] I wrong It is 2.6.22-14 xen [13:02] anyone here recommend visudo Many thanks [13:02] bazhang, yep that too, may be the problem is deeper [13:02] bazhang, this happens since my fresh install [13:03] yaser: any other stuttering occur; such as mouse lag, movie music playing network etc [13:04] <[blackb]> ver irc.oltrelinux.com [13:04] bazhang, nothing of that [13:04] Karti: not familiar with that--what are you trying to accomplish [13:05] <_rodders> anyone knows how to "kill" a process E.g. 9104 0.2 0.6 2663620 22816 ? DL 20:58 0:00 MovieCatalog.exe [13:05] yaser: only with compiz fusion then? [13:05] <_rodders> I've tried kill -9 kill -1 etc nothing works [13:06] bazhang: Sorry its the wrong channel.....its similar to sudo that is used on ubuntu [13:06] ok bazhang, i am talk with my brazilian friend [13:06] Karti: aha ;] [13:06] bazhang, if i quit compiz fusion anyway the other services delay, another clue, the gnome-volume-manager is the first of the list, if i remove from my session anyway it loads [13:06] Am having problem running a startup script I have created from the template of sshd startupscript. The script should start the Axis2 Standalone Webserver that is located in /opt/axis2. The problem am having is that I don't understand how the --exec command works. I guess am trying to pass to much information into start-stop-daemon. Someone that would like to take a quick look and give suggestions about my "$STARTLINE"? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53847/ [13:06] bazhang, why is that? [13:07] <_rodders> anyone? [13:07] hello there [13:07] is Rick in the room? [13:07] _rodders: have you tried kill 9104 [13:07] yaser I see so you think it is the sound manager? [13:07] _rodders: or man the killall command [13:08] does ubuntu support the TPM from trustedcompoutuing.org? [13:08] _rodders: exe? as in on a windows install?

[13:17] bazhang, no i have a mythtv box and a laptop that needs to be client; but i also se that laptop at work so "ifconfig" all the time is a pain [13:17] bazhang, basically yes, lan dhcp [13:18] virtual router configuration tool? [13:18] but since i will download the packages from work and do an offline install, i don't want to ba caught with my pants down. i just wanted to know if there were any specail dependecies to consider or if i could just grab the dhcp3-server .deb from somewhere and be ok [13:20] bidossessi, I think copyingthe packages in the APT cache (/var/cache/apt/archives/) to the other machine may work (if it's the same version) [13:20] copying the* [13:20] hi [13:20] bidossessi: see also /msg ubotu aptoncd [13:21] I cannot open port with user, I do use sudo to use application which use some special port. how can I do to allow user to open ports please .

Because last night I tried burning some movies to a DVD and it just made a data-dvd instead of an actual movie dvd [13:27] but thats 4 xp [13:27] bidossessi: the offline part is where I get stuck though aptoncd might well do [13:27] bazhang, i have no problem setting it up, once it's installed. i'm quiter familiar with dhcpd.conf the problem is with running apt-get: no internet [13:27] stephen-mason: nope :) [13:27] you bastard, lol! :) [13:27] what is the latest version of the nvidia drivers for ubuntu?

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

[13:29] I just added the new hostname to my DNS servers -- my DNS master and slave see it... but I can't seem to do anything short of restarting the computer to get it to see the new hostname [13:29] Honestly that Flash problem should be directly blamed on Ubuntu [13:29] albech: no idea [13:29] it should have been fixed almost 2 months ago [13:30] indeed [13:30] that's right [13:30] vitual pc is taking so long to install something its gayyyy! [13:30] any help? ol [13:30] bazhang, would the dvd or the server cd have that package? if so, then maybe i can hold for a few days, until i get it; although i'd hoped someone would tell me it has no known dependencies [13:31] bidossessi: the madwifi or the aptoncd? you can msg the bot with /msg ubotu info packagename and find out [13:31] madwifi's already fine. i just need dhcp [13:32] bidossessi: also for the dependencies you can search packages.ubuntu.com [13:32] bidossessi, aptoncd soesn't contain any packages itself, just caches the ones you already have to a CD [13:32] bidossessi, doesn't [13:32] aptoncd might not be what i need since i don't have a 64 system at work [13:32] he wants dhcp verb3k iirc [13:33] but i'll check out that link you posted above and see [13:33] bidossessi: there is also a firefox plugin that lets you search packages.ubuntu.com from the google searchbar === IgorSobreira is now known as igors [13:34] stephen-mason: on windows?

[13:50] daj odgovori [13:50] ok [13:51] cdealer: then give us more details ;] [13:51] hello if i find .deb package outside of the repository is it safe to run it by 2click on it ? will synaptic open it? [13:51] I need to block the possibility to change the desktop background to any client (not my machine), I have about 80 clients using the server... [13:52] cdealer: ah, that is much clearer [13:52] ? [13:52] I tried changing the permission of ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml but didnt work [13:53] Yo... Im looking for help in mounting medias!!! [13:53] Im getting the messages mount: special device /dev/hdd does not exist [13:53] Nik0la0s: 2click? what is that [13:53] cdealer, which ubuntu version?

[13:55] cdealer, ok, waiting :) [13:55] Does anyone could give me a tip how to mount cd and dvds? [13:56] !mount [13:56] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [13:56] tinman, yes that works but why on doubleclick synaptic wont open it so to install it? [13:56] One little question with vsftpd: Does it matter if port 21 is tcpwrapped? I cant seem to start it up... [13:56] verb3k: I had already changed the permission to this bin, the user cant change the background by right clicking in the desktop, but still can change right click on the browser and choosing the option set as desktop background... [13:56] Sorry about the op spam. [13:56] Nik0la0s: Maybe you don't have the gui to install the .deb package [13:56] bozone doesn't matter to start it up, matters to those accessing it [13:56] how can I run the restricted driver manager from command level? X server won't start on this ATI hw as things are. [13:56] hehe more like bot spam [13:57] Pici, better to have a bit of op spam, than a lot of junk spam [13:57] tinman, what you mean? [13:57] ikonia: How can I connect then - get a 421 connection denied answer [13:57] ah you know my ubuntu died on me. sadly im back in win xp to back up some stuff before i reinstall ubuntu. [13:57] Nik0la0s: maybe there is a gui frontend for dpkg that you need [13:57] bozone: first is vsftpd running ? [13:57] man i hate this. [13:58] L3ttuc3: do you have a question yes/no ? [13:58] ikonia: it says OK when I start it from /etc/init.d/vsftpd [13:58] cdealer, hmm, well seems an interesting thing to research :) [13:58] bozone check it's running [13:58] bozone: the "ok" is just an init script returning "true" [13:58] L3ttuc3: what is the issue [13:58] How-come the system won't remember my settings like "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim"? [13:58] tinman, the gui front end for dpkg is synaptic, isnt it? [13:58] ikonia: It wont start up right - did last wednesday but today it wont - very strange [13:59] Nik0la0s, there are lots, that is one [13:59] bozone: so it is not running yes/no ? [13:59] verb3k: yeah... so a quick search took me to .gconf/desktop/gnome/background/%gconf.xml ... but this file is just the tip of the iceberg... must have other that is who nautilus obay [13:59] bozone: please answer my questions with answers rather comments [13:59] ikonia: not runnig accordign to ps [13:59] if i download a .deb package does that mean that has all dependencies inside it? [13:59] bozone: - right - so now try to start it manually and see what happens [13:59] Nik0la0s: no [13:59] Nik0la0s: no it won't [13:59] Nik0la0s, no [13:59] wow that is a first [13:59] ikonia: I did, doesn't help [13:59] only if it comes for a repository it does? [14:00] Do 'unionfs' and 'namespace unification file system' refer to the same thing? [14:00] Nik0la0s, the idea of dependencies mean you don't have to download a load of cruft if you already have it. Saves downloads and space. [14:00] Ballena: ypou need to put that on some bash init script such as $HOME/.bashrc [14:00] bozone: what happesn ? come on, give me stuff to help you with [14:00] bullgard4: no [14:00] erUSUL: aha, ic. BTW what is the difference between EDITOR and VISUAL? [14:00] PriceChild, can you explain that a bit more? [14:00] where is the system-wide java keystore on ubuntu? [14:00] moldy_: where ever you chose to put it [14:00] ikonia: it gives me no reply to the command 'vsftpd' [14:00] moldy_: normally your home dir [14:01] moldy_: keystore? [14:01] bozone: start it in the same way as the init script [14:01] Pici: java keystore - java's implimentation of certificates [14:01] ikonia: Ah. Okay ;) [14:01] ikonia: # /etc/init.d/vsftpd start [14:01] * Starting FTP server: vsftpd [14:01] Nikki85, ok well if you want do download say.... "gizmod", it knows it needs "libgizmod", "libH". If you don't have either of those packages, it downloads them at hte same time. [14:01] can anyone advice me for any rootkid finder ? [14:01] Pici: only really used in java front end - middle ware connections (just an aside FYI:) [14:01] how is it possible to reado PDF files in ubuntu? [14:02] frojnd: chkroot [14:02] Nikki85, however. if you already have "libH" installed, it will only download "gizmod" and "libgizmod" [14:02] frojnd: chkrootkit sorry [14:02] rkhunter frojnd [14:02] sagieg, the "evince" pdf reader is installed by default. [14:02] bazhang not entired sure, but i think there were issues with my usb disk. kept getting kernel messages about the module resetting the device, and latterly, during a second ubuntu install, of IO errors. [14:02] Ballena: dunno sorry never heard of VISUAL [14:02] Pricechild : thanks [14:03] erUSUL: ok [14:03] cdealer, I think I found a solution, but it's a little bit clumsy(but should work) make a file in the home dir named Firefox_wallpaper.png and take the write permissions from it, and then firefox can neither overwrite it nor replace it with a real wallpaper [14:03] is it coming with xubuntu aswell? [14:03] bazhang so now, im going to zap my internal hard disk with the windows partition once i've backed up the data on there. i cant back up to the usb drive because that seems to have issues, one way or another, so dvds it is. [14:03] sagieg, no idea [14:03] verb3k: firefox and wall paper ? [14:03] L3ttuc3: good luck ;] [14:04] yeah its running [14:04] ikonia, sorry? [14:04] how doesent this work? mail -s "hello friend" from cli? [14:04] bazhang bah. thanks. i hope that that _was_ the problem, and there weren't deeper issues. anyone get funny messages from the kernel modules with usb disks? [14:04] Nik0la0s: error msg? [14:04] hello fellow-ubuntiuns [14:04] mail: You must specify direct recipients with -s, -c, or -b [14:04] verb3k firefox and wallpaper files ? [14:05] hi jimmyspark [14:05] !doesntwork | Nik0la0s [14:05] Nik0la0s: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:05] ikonia, what do you mean, I don't really understand your question [14:05] hey bazhang, looking forward to hardy? ^^ [14:05] Nik0la0s: man mail would help [14:05] whats the syntax to send an mail from cli? [14:05] Nik0la0s: you need to provide the recipient not just the subject [14:05] verb3k: you passwd a comment about putting an image in the home dir so that firefox couldn't overwrite it [14:05] passed sorry [14:05] not passwd [14:05] ikonia: hm thx [14:05] tinman, i already saw it but didnt help [14:05] #ubuntu+1 jimmyspark ;] [14:05] ikonia, yes [14:06] is there a known fix for gutsy with mcp65 and mcp55 pata/sata controllers ? [14:06] verb3k: I missed part of the question I'd be interested in understanding what you where saying [14:06] I have setup snort and BASE and BASE does not provide me with a link to the triggered ID? It only gives me a number [14:06] verb3k: it looked like you where saying firefox would overwrite an image file as wallpaper ? [14:06] Nik0la0s: you will need to specify WHOM you want to mail [14:06] probably [14:06] I'm trying to intall fluxtorrent but I have some problems with mysql database http://pastebin.ca/875976 how can I fix or get starting to solve this problem out ? [14:06] I was wondering if it's possible to install KDE4 on my regular gnome ubuntu 7.10 install? [14:06] tinman, yes but i w=dont know the switch fro that [14:07] lathough ima looking in man page [14:07] Nik0la0s: mail -s "hello friend" recipient@host.whatever [14:07] Nik0la0s: man page should have it [14:07] frojnd: is the database running, your installer can't access it via the socket file [14:07] ikonia, lemme check again [14:08] ok i presse ctrl-z after writing the mail [14:08] but [1]+ Stopped mail -s "hello friend" nikos1337@gmail.com [14:08] ikonia, ok, the guy was asking about a way to prevent people from changing the wallpaper, and he removed the permissions of gnome-appearance-properties, but users can still change wallpapers through firefox, so making a file in the home directory as described and taking the write permissions from it should prevent firefox from changing the wallpaper, hope you get it now [14:08] Nik0la0s: it's not crtl+z [14:08] how i tell it the data is over and sent ti now? [14:08] Nik0la0s: it's just . [14:09] in an empty line [14:09] ? [14:09] then pres . again [14:09] hi, would this: http://dpaste.com/32863/ be enough to stick with a kernel in edgy eft? [14:10] ikonia, what do you think :) [14:10] ikonia: i have problems using a citrix web client, getting SSL errors because the cert is not trusted [14:10] verb3k: just remove permissions to the wallpaper dir [14:10] thanks ikonia [14:10] apollo13: what do you want to do ? [14:10] Nik0la0s: welcome [14:11] ikonia, where is that? [14:11] ikonia: stick with a kernel, and don't install a new version [14:11] although i have sent to mails to my mail address at gmail no one arrived yet [14:11] ikonia: and i don't really know where i need to import the cert :-/ [14:11] and yes i did apt-get install mailx [14:11] (although bugfixes would be okay) [14:11] how the mail never arrived? [14:11] moldy_ the physical location shouldn't matter as java queries your keystore [14:12] ikonia, do you know where the wallpapers dir is? [14:12] Has anyone experienced a problem where after a reboot your screen is permanently zoomed in? === maichel is now known as baby_imut [14:12] verb3k normally a users home dir, you could also use pam or selinux to restrict it, or lock down the .gnome dir on their home dir [14:12] can you tell me why the mails never arrived? [14:12] I can pan and scroll but can not zoom out [14:13] Nik0la0s depends on how your mail server is set up [14:13] Nik0la0s: from what you pasted, hte mail was never sent [14:13] i only apt getted the mailx [14:13] Nik0la0s: then you need to send mail [14:13] Nik0la0s: mailx is not a mail server [14:13] hi...could anyone give me some help with "screenlets 0.0.12"? [14:13] i though mailx would suppose to sent the mail [14:14] Nik0la0s: it will submit it to your mail server [14:14] Nik0la0s: mailx is NOT a mail server [14:14] Nik0la0s: even when sent, gmail might block mails with no header. [14:14] Consedering it to be spam [14:14] ikonia, how do i know if iam runnign a mail server? [14:14] and what if i dont run it? [14:14] Nik0la0s: if you don't know - your not [14:15] Nik0la0s: then you'd need to run and configure one, or connect to a remote one [14:15] then is there a coomand to explicitly tell mail x to use my isp's mail server? [14:16] Nik0la0s: mailx submits locally, you'd need a mail server to forward to host or relay thorugh your isp [14:16] nik@dell:~$ mail -s "hello friend" nikos1337@gmail.com [use that isp] [14:16] so a comamnd like the above isnt implemented in mailx i guess [14:17] thats not using your isp [14:17] how do i install a firefox plugin for sun java? [14:17] moldy_, better if you use apt/synaptic to install java -- see !java [14:17] is there any "easy" way to remount a usb stick which i have just umounted? instead of the "manual" way with the mount command? [14:17] !java [14:17] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [14:17] ikonia, i mean i cant specify a mail server to use in the mailx comamnd? [14:18] Nik0la0s I don't believe so, mailx is local submission only as I recall [14:18] mailx needs a preconfiged MTA [14:18] kosnick, gnome-volume-manager should auto-mount your devices -- why do you have to use the mount command? [14:18] ikonia, can you please propose a mail server i need to use? [14:18] bascule: thank you [14:18] Nik0la0s: exim, sendmail, postfix, qmail you chose [14:18] choose [14:18] which one do i want? [14:18] i ema new to linxu dont ask me to amke choices! [14:18] Nik0la0s, i think exim is installed by default [14:18] I've runed chkrootkit and tehre is something suspecios it doesn't sas that nothing found or smotehnig: Searching for OBSD rk v1... /usr/lib/security [14:18] /usr/lib/security/classpath.security [14:19] Nik0la0s: I don't know - which ever one your more comfortable with, [14:19] iam oming from xp :) [14:19] unop: thanks for the hint, trying [14:19] unop: postfix I think [14:19] qmail is nice [14:19] hi little girl [14:19] unop, if exim is installed by default then why mailx didnt use exim? [14:19] ikonia, default mta on ubuntu -- err, i dont think so, let me check anyway [14:19] http://DIANA-MEINE-EX.gotdns.com/?id=5420b8f7 [14:19] http://DIANA-MEINE-EX.gotdns.com/?id=5420b8f7 [14:19] http://DIANA-MEINE-EX.gotdns.com/?id=5420b8f7 [14:19] unop: I could be wrong [14:19] aslan: that was silly [14:19] aslan: oops, not you sorry [14:20] Dukan: do you have an ubuntu support question? [14:20] Hi all, I'm having an issue while installing ubuntu gutsy gibbon via a netboot - i'm at the "Select and install software" phase, so I select my software and when it goes to download it, it comes back with an error about how it can't find ubuntustudio-desktop and ubuntustudio-video - anyone else had that problem? [14:20] let me see tha analogy here [14:20] mailx for linux is what outlokk express is for windows ? [14:20] Nik0la0s no, nothing like the same [14:20] iam tryign to analogically understand things [14:20] Nik0la0s, i dunno - have you tried using the sendmail command to send email? [14:21] Nik0la0s: there is nothing similar [14:21] unop: was it exim ? [14:21] ikonia, mailx is a mail client application isnt it? [14:21] ikonia, looks like exim4 is installed by default [14:21] running into an issue with ubuntu 7.10 - is not detecting my primary sata drive - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53854/ for further information - any help would be useful - unable to install due to this issue [14:21] Nik0la0s: no [14:21] unop: thanks [14:21] Nik0la0s: no, evolution is about as close to outlook express as it gets - calendar is setup differently [14:21] its not?! [14:21] Nik0la0s: no, it's a MTA [14:21] unop, ikonia : fixed it, thank you. [14:21] ikonia: eh? [14:21] actually its not [14:21] mailx an MTA? [14:21] whats an MTA ? [14:21] bad choice of words [14:21] !mta [14:21] A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [14:21] Nik0la0s: mailx is a CLI mail client [14:21] MUA [14:22] Gnea, i need a way to be able to send maisl from commandl line [14:22] BenderUnit22: thank you [14:22] Gnea, great! [14:22] Nik0la0s: thats what mailx is [14:22] that what i meant [14:22] Nik0la0s: you might also want to check out mutt [14:22] Nik0la0s: mailx will allow you to submit mail to a local MTA [14:22] Gnea, but as folsk here told me this mailx xleint doenst use by default some mail server to actually sent the mail [14:23] how can i mount an usb camera mass storage? [14:23] What it the command, to show what is mounted where ? [14:23] Nik0la0s: you'd need to setup your MTA separately (exim, sendmail, qmail, etc) [14:23] matzki: mount [14:23] Nik0la0s: you might want to consider nullmailer, ssmtp or similar programs as well. [14:23] matzki: df [14:23] Nik0la0s: but as other people said, if you want Outlook, Evolution's your best bvet. [14:23] s/bvet/bet/ [14:23] no actually i ahte OE [14:23] igors: plug it in [14:23] :) [14:24] ok gyes so lt me see if ui undestood you [14:24] mailx and mutt and pine ALL there are cli mail cliesnts right? === aji_ is now known as aji [14:24] oh lovely: WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1 [14:24] Nik0la0s, have you ruled out problems with mailx itself? have you tried another mua to send email>? [14:24] while local MTA == Local mail server ? [14:24] Nik0la0s: yes, two times. [14:24] Nik0la0s: yes. [14:24] Nik0la0s, not server- just agent [14:24] ? [14:25] anytime i try to install any software via apt-get i get the message The package dmraid needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find and archive for it [14:25] so everytime you say the acronym MTA what i must understand is a Mail Server Correct? [14:25] unop: it runs as a daemon, so technically it IS a mail server, that is local [14:25] unop he's not got a configured MTA running, I think [14:25] unop: it's just not a mail 'server' in the sense that it necessarily handles domain traffic [14:25] Gnea, i wouldnt call it a "mail server" [14:25] Nik0la0s: yes. [14:25] Nik0la0s: the MTA actually sends the mail in the correct format to wherever it needs to go [14:25] Tuari: dpkg --configure -a [14:25] is there a difference between a mail server and a mail agent? [14:26] unop: there is a difference, and in the linux world, that's how it is. [14:26] Gnea, I'm aware of what MTA, MUA and mail servers do, thanks :) [14:26] theres a huge difference between a mail server and a mail agent / client [14:27] Nik0la0s: yes - the user agent takes care of forumulating and reading the emails, the mail server (aka MTA) takes care of actually transporting the email to/from the system itself [14:27] Nik0la0s: well if you had a domain and wanted inboxes for users you would need a mail server, however you need the right software to send mail, no recieve it [14:27] unop :) === asgw is now known as asgw_ [14:28] MTA stands for Mail Transfer Agent right? === asgw_ is now known as asgw [14:28] yes [14:28] and an Agent == Clioent correct? [14:28] alan here is my out put when i run that command http://pastebin.com/m64033db3 [14:28] transfer/transport actually :) [14:29] so when you say mail agent il will be understanding mail cleint program right? [14:29] Gnea, my usb camera is not mounting automatically: http://dpaste.com/32865/ :/ [14:29] Nik0la0s: no [14:29] :( [14:29] hold! [14:30] Nik0la0s: no, a client is like outlook express or murr or pine, the agent can send the mail from these clients [14:30] dmraid.... [14:30] MUA = Mail User Agent = Mail User Client = a mail application for reading mails like OE in windows [14:30] mutt not murr sheesh [14:30] Tuari: you have a raid array? [14:30] well "mail agent" maybe [14:30] not "mail transport agent" [14:30] so youa re telling me that an Agent != Client [14:30] Nik0la0s, depending on how your email client is setup, it can send mail directly via a server (POP3, IMAP, etc) or use the local MTA (and that could be anything) [14:30] up until now i though it was identical [14:31] Nik0la0s: correct, there are many clients that all need an agent [14:31] anybody knows? how can i mount my usb camera mass storage, its not mounting automatically ( http://dpaste.com/32865/ ) [14:31] this system was not set by be me but i think it does have a raid [14:31] hi all. I would like to get the source code of the cvs version of libsane that is used in Ubuntu 7.10 [14:31] where should i look? [14:31] igors: then it's going to use libusb to read it, which means you need to use something like f-spot to interface with it - you can't mount it like you would a normal FS [14:31] DaHood, google? [14:31] DaHood: apt-get source libsane [14:31] DaHood: at the repos apt-get source [14:31] unop, i would like a more specific answer [14:32] a ok [14:32] DaHood: freshmeat.net should point you to the homepage - just search for libsane [14:32] So an MUA example is mutt(which is cli mail cleint) [14:33] an MTA example is sendmalil [14:33] Nik0la0s: yes. [14:33] Nik0la0s: yup [14:33] Gnea, f-spot can do that? is there a nice interface to do that? [14:33] uh-huh [14:33] and an MDA example? [14:33] outlook express is also an MUA for windows [14:33] DaHood, if you want the CVS version of libsane, you should find out which CVS servers hold a copy of it, and i said google because thats where i'd look. and FYI, ubuntu's repos dont hold the CVS version [14:33] graphic one [14:33] igors: f-spot *is* the interface ... just click on applications->graphics->f-spot [14:33] When I booted my laptop this morning my display is stuck zoomed in. I can pan and scroll but not zoom out. Any ideas? [14:33] ok what i udnerstand is this [14:34] MUA = mail clients (mutt, pine, xmail, kmail) [14:34] MTA = sendmails [14:34] BizFatal: it's called viewports, I can't remember how to disable/fix that, but thats where to look [14:34] Nik0la0s: you are correct. [14:34] Gnea, yeah..im on it..but i still didn't find how to "mount" my camera here :-) [14:34] but we have 3 semantic now [14:34] agents, clietns nad server [14:34] hagabaka, MDA - something like postfix that recieves mail on your behalf and puts it in your mail directory [14:34] up until now i knew only client and server arch [14:35] Gnea, "no cameras detected" :T [14:35] Bascule: thanks Ill start there [14:35] Nik0la0s: 'server' is ambiguous - it means one thing in a sense, and something else in another [14:35] igors: what camera is it? [14:35] an agent is a program that tranfer mail from an MUA to a Mail server? [14:35] does anyone here uses torrentflux? I changed download directory and chmod -w it, but I'm still not able to see it ... any ideas why is that ? [14:35] Gnea, sony, ive changeg to PTP mode...ok no [14:35] *noe [14:35] Nik0la0s, yes, thats how you could see it [14:35] *now :P [14:35] Nik0la0s: the MTA usually dumps the email in an mbox file and the MUA reads from that file [14:35] Nik0la0s: check it out with Google (e.g. www.feep.net/sendmail/tutorial/intro/MUA-MTA-MDA.html). Also, it's only semantics. :) [14:36] Gnea, so whats an MDA then? :) [14:36] igors: are you plugging it into a usb hub or directly into the computer? [14:36] unop: that'd be procmail, formail and the like, no? [14:36] unop: Mail Delivery Agent :) [14:36] Gnea, i think i would say the MTA sends mail out for you, the MDA brings mail in [14:36] like fetchmail [14:37] BenderUnit22, aye [14:37] so an MTU9sendmail, exim) is an application that transfers mail from an MUA(client like mutt,pine,kmail) to a Mail server [14:37] is there a place for me to get new version of evolution for ubuntu ? [14:37] :/ [14:37] Gnea, in usb, but now i've change in camera to PTP mode...and it found the camera... :-) [14:37] igors: cool :) [14:37] that page says MTA brings all parts together? [14:37] Nik0la0s: sure, the mail server running on the recieving end and puts it in the users mailbox [14:38] in windows guys do we have mTA there as well? [14:38] Nik0la0s: exchange [14:38] or the MUA there(which is OE) act as an MUA and MTA both? [14:38] Nik0la0s: think of MTA as a send only mail server [14:39] Nik0la0s, yes, but in the windows world, you dont really want to know what an MUA,MTA,etc are, you just send mail :) [14:39] Hey ! [14:39] !hi | iKs [14:39] iKs: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:39] Anyone knows how to write an ellipsis on a UK Default Keyboard Layout ? :D [14:39] unop, :) [14:39] iKs: ellipsis ? [14:39] iKs: try altGr key [14:39] three dots [14:39] ima taking notes on verythign you say in a file called MUST_KNOW ) [14:39] iKs: not me; I'd use gucharmap. [14:39] how do I md5sum the cd after burning the iso? what's the command? i know how to md5sum the downloaded iso... how do i msdsum the burnt cd? [14:40] Well normaly AltGr + several keys do that [14:40] michaelpo: the command is md5sum [14:40] but strangely only those three dots are not working [14:40] nothing is outputed.. [14:40] hi. Is there any similar traffic shaping program for linux such as cfosspeed for windows? [14:40] I can use AltGr for anything else though [14:40] Nik0la0s, outlook is an MUA, in most instances it is _not_ and MTA, it sends mail by connecting to a SMTP/IMAP server [14:40] (@łe¶ŧ←ŧ←↓→øþæßðŋðđħjĸłł«»¢”¢“n”µ) [14:40] bn,gh,g, [14:40] michaelpo: with the disc in the drive, unmounted, md5sum /dev/cdrom , or /dev/dvd [14:40] Hello [14:40] ikonia: md5sum /media/cdrom? [14:41] michaelpo: no, you've downloaded the iso file and the md5sum file so it's md5sum myname.iso myname.md5 [14:41] So.. no one ? [14:41] unop, yeah! that why OE in configuration its aks for incoming/outgoing mail server [14:41] iKs: don't think it's default char on a uk keyboard [14:41] because outlokk can only read/write mail [14:41] not send it [14:41] michaelpo: no /media/cdrom is mounted, wrong sum [14:41] ikonia: I'm supposed to be able to output it with, for example, AltGr + , [14:41] iKs: But it just doesn't work. [14:42] Nik0la0s, well, no MUAs can send mail, its the job of the MTA to do that [14:42] michaelpo: has to be /dev [14:42] It worked on my French keyboard (another combination but whatever) [14:42] which password does passwd change if no username is given ? [14:42] so it seems to be a UK layout thingy [14:42] iKs: know its ascii code? [14:42] ikonia: how do i md5sum the cd after burning to check if the burn is correct or flawed....? [14:42] http://lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139657817 Please Come And Vote For Me!!! (When you enter page, you auto... vote for me) (Thanks to all who voted!!) [14:42] matzki, the one of $USER [14:42] matzki: The current user's password. [14:42] bascule: I can find it [14:42] bascule: hum, unicode code you mean ? [14:42] michaelpo: ooh after, no idea [14:42] bascule: cause ascii doesn't have it of course... :) [14:42] michaelpo: just use the "check cd" option on the boot menu [14:42] bascule: how do i md5sum the cd after burning to check if the burn is correct or flawed....? [14:42] michaelpo: I told you ... [14:43] i wonder how i can change the parameters pased to configure for a src package [14:43] michaelpo: boot it, there is a check on the boot options IIRC [14:43] the rules file is a bit confusing === grumbles is now known as Davey [14:43] unop, but all MUAs can at least connect to MTAs in order to be able to start sending the mail [14:43] iKs: well 256 ascii might [14:43] or alternatively how to pass an environment var to init :) [14:43] unop: not all MUA's. :) [14:43] bascule: hum I don't think so ;) [14:43] tapas: PARM=value ./configure (iirc) [14:43] unop: sry, not you. [14:43] bascule: lemme find the unicode code [14:43] what iirc? [14:43] Nik0la0s: not all MUA's; mutt and mailx e.g. expect a local MTA by default. [14:43] Nik0la0s, that depends on the MUA and how it is configured really [14:43] cosmodad: into what file? [14:44] bascule: what iirc? [14:44] # Unicode reference u2026 [14:44] michaelpo: If I remeber correctly [14:44] cosmodad: debian/rules? [14:44] and where? [14:44] michaelpo: if I remember correctly. [14:44] tapas: that's how'd you call the rules script. [14:44] Nik0la0s, like you can setup evolution on ubuntu to not use the local MTA but use a remote SMTP/IMAP server [14:44] tapas: err configure [14:44] cosmodad: i use dpkg-buildpackage [14:44] michaelpo: well look into binding a key combo for it in xmodmap, best I can do :)) [14:44] tapas: what do you want to change? [14:44] how do i do a iirc command? [14:44] how do i do a xmodmap? [14:44] so the MTA in my case can be one of 2 things [14:45] michaelpo: there is none. [14:45] michaelpo: ...iirc command. [14:45] michaelpo: IRC != IIRC === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:45] cosmodad: i'm building libc from the source package and i want to add --disable-sanity-checks [14:45] michaelpo: that wasn't for you the xmodmap [14:45] no fear it's all in a virtual machine system [14:45] michaelpo: IRC = Internet Realy Chat, what you're using right now to chat [14:45] Nik0la0s: what was it, actually, that you wanted to do? :) [14:45] michaelpo: IIRC is an abbreviation [14:45] iKs: sorry, did you see the xmodmap suggestion? [14:45] either o local mail server(local MTA) or a remote mail server(remote MTA like my isp's outgoing mail server ) is that correct? [14:45] bascule: hum nope, what is it ? [14:45] Nik0la0s, correct [14:45] cosmodad: in the end i want to boot a 2.4.x kernel ;D [14:46] [legacy kernel modules we need to get to work] [14:46] iKs: The xmodmap program is used to edit and display the keyboard modifier map [14:46] tapas: can't you just download a 2.4.x kernel? [14:46] this bluetooth RAZR is nuts... it doesn't seem to want to bond right with minicom... [14:46] tapas: doesn't some older Ubuntu distro still provide that, I mean? [14:46] cosmodad: well, there's no 2.4.x kernel packages in current ubuntu [14:46] bascule: I'm looking at it right now, thanks ;) [14:46] Nik0la0s, you can use any remote mail server as long as you are authenticated to it, like using your gmail credentials on smtp.gmail.com [14:46] iKs: welcome, I dunno how to do it, but i am sure it can [14:47] tapas: dapper still has kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 . [14:47] iKs: if i remember correctly [14:47] tapas: even edgy. [14:47] tapas: you better try that before you hussle with libc. [14:47] cosmodad: we will try that if we absolutely don't get it to ru non feisty [14:47] yeah unop [14:47] ok... thank you guys... i will just boot the cd before i delete the iso.... [14:47] cosmodad: problem with that is increased maintenance work for our other software [for which we'll need two different builds then] [14:47] so smtp.gmail.com is actually a remote outgoing mail server and also is called a remote MTA correct? [14:47] tapas: if there is another reason for you to rebuild libc: somewhere in the debian building process, ./configure must be called. You can hook up there. [14:48] tapas: changing libc may well be suicidal [14:48] yes [14:48] cosmodad: yeah i'm not finding it [14:48] thus i awsk [14:48] ask :) [14:48] bugs, very bugs [14:48] bascule: yeah :) [14:48] Nik0la0s, right [14:48] bascule: it's in a virtual machine for testing purposes, so no harm done [14:48] tapas: you should be aware that upgrades to libc, e.g. security-wise, would kill your changes unless you hold them. Which isn't advised for libc either. [14:49] cosmodad: we won't touch the system except for updating our own software once it runs [14:49] Now the difference between MTA and Mail Server are that MTA used to just send mails while mail Server are only used to receive mails(the ones hat MTUs send to them) [14:49] porting of the kernel module to 2.6.x is underways [14:49] it just takes another while [14:49] k, it is a swine look at gentoo ebuilds or sourcemage spells, you will see the trickery required, nothing worse than a bash shell that segfaults every 5 seconds :) [14:49] tapas: ^ [14:50] tapas: let me see if I can find the right spot for you. [14:50] cosmodad: thanks a bunch :) [14:50] Unop is my l.ast statement correct? [14:50] if is is then i understanded! [14:50] Now the difference between MTA and Mail Server are that MTA used to just send mails while mail Server are only used to receive mails(the ones hat MTUs send to them) [14:50] Nik0la0s, correct, but technically an MTA is also a server because it can accept connections and send mail on your behalf [14:51] Nik0la0s: mail server send and recieve [14:51] hi [14:51] does anyone have any idea or has the tora compiled for Ubuntu [14:51] with oracle support [14:51] user and password default in a Squirrelmail ? [14:51] :S [14:52] dany: what ? [14:52] iam confuses now because [14:52] shadukan: tora ? [14:52] bascule> Nik0la0s: think of MTA as a send only mail server [14:52] i found some stuff on the net but required earlier version of a library and didnt installed the deb succesfuuly [14:52] :) [14:52] TOAD Oralce for linux [14:52] :D [14:52] sorry [14:52] shadukan: toad is just an sql client as I recall [14:52] now my difficuly is to distingusih the ideas of Mail Server and MTUs [14:53] Nik0la0s, an MTA is a mail-server that is only concerned with sending mail on your behalf, it cannot recieve mail for you [14:53] yes ikonia but in ubuntu packages doesn't support connections to oracle databases... [14:53] I forgot the command to regenerate the usplash initramfs. could someone please refresh my memory? [14:53] Nik0la0s: I didn't say it was, just think of it that way, to me it becomes a server and not just an agent at the point it recieves mail ... :) [14:53] unop: hm? Either I've misunderstood for years, or this was an odd statement. [14:53] unop: surely you can configure your MTA to receive mail for you as well? :) [14:53] mwe, update-initramfs -U ? [14:53] i found some .deb packages over the net but didn't installed successfully [14:53] hi, i have a program that works fine but i need a launcher on desktop, i make this launcher and the program can't load somethings now(when i use the launcher) i do not know what happend, i belive it cpuld be permisions [14:54] unop: that's probably it, thanks. [14:54] simion314: what program? [14:54] BenderUnit22, shhhh, let's not go into exceptions :p [14:54] simion314, were you running it as root from terminal? [14:54] shadukan: I know I have just turned up, but Oracle actually give away free their Express edition which is generally the same as the normal version but with a 4Gb database limit. With this you also get access to their 2 day administrator courses and full instructions ;) [14:54] unop, i see [14:55] Nik0la0s: again, is this about understanding terminology, or fixing some problem at your end? Just curious. [14:55] BenderUnit22, by definition - an MTA does not recieve mail, but there are plenty of MTAs that can do otherwise [14:55] but now i see youc all it a server because on order to be able to sent mails it has to accept connections for MUAs first :) [14:55] ...i dont have time...i am on fire for a project... i followed instructions over ubuntu forums [14:55] tht bwhy youc alled it a server [14:55] never try to run virtualbox over a ssh tunnel [14:55] about compilation but the damn thing failed the i did rules binary [14:55] it does weird things like not releasing the mouse and keyboard for 10 minutes ;) [14:55] unop: to me it stops being classed as an MTA if it recieves mail [14:55] simion314, is just a program, i double click it and it works, but if i double click the launcher i have that error [14:55] unop: hmz. Pardon my ignorance, but then what software *is* by definition meant to receive mail? [14:55] luckily ctrl-alt-f1 still works ;) [14:55] ./rules binary ... it seems that didn't read a file within the directory [14:56] bascule, right, and becomes more of a fully-fledged "mail-server", right? :) [14:56] yes [14:56] BenderUnit22, the MDA [14:56] berderUnit22 : in order to fix the problem i needed to undestand thes ideas behind it first :) [14:56] and i was wondering if someone here has it in precompiled .deb package for libsqn**7 version [14:56] tapas: I cannot find it at the moment, but I guess you need to adjust the configure target in the rules file. [14:56] tapas: I'm sure people at #debian know the details. [14:56] unop: ooh-wkay. nm then. :) [14:56] suggest we take the mail server discuss into -offtopic [14:56] :) [14:56] unop: but of course all full blown servers are also MTAs, they have to be :) [14:56] ok folks i ahve mutt which acts as myy MUA [14:57] now pleasse tell me the best cli MTA i can use [14:57] so mutt will conect to it to sent mail [14:57] Nik0la0s: cli mta ? [14:57] Nik0la0s: if you just want to use mutt to get mail off your system, I'd suggest ssmtp. Simple setup. [14:57] Nik0la0s: you've still not got it [14:57] Nik0la0s: there is no such thing, it's just a daemon [14:57] so i make this public request if anyone has tora precompiled for the latest version of ubuntu [14:57] (official) [14:57] Nik0la0s: an MTA is a daemon that listens and deals with mail [14:57] BenderUnit22, well, a fully-fledged mail server is an MTA and MDA - the MTA recieves mail from another MTA and forwards it to the MDA which then delivers the mail to the users inbox [14:57] Nik0la0s: I suggest we take this to ubuntu-offtopic as explain mail daemon services isn't really ubuntu's issue [14:57] simion314, if you want me to see your rely, put my name in the line (type 'slee' and then hit tab and it should autocomplete) [14:57] unop: that's as clear as I could've asked for; thx. :) [14:57] cosmodad: they told me the link to the maintainer manual and told me to troll myself to #ubuntu [14:58] nice as always [14:58] Nik0la0s: lol, you need a cli client that knows of your MTA daemon to send mail in the SMTP format to some server [14:58] sorry the expression cli mta was wrong [14:58] (i have setup mutt with pop3 + imaps) it works great for me :D [14:58] of cousr mta is a service [14:58] does anyone have any reccomendations on any particular usb wireless adaptor? [14:58] simion314, what are you running from the terminal (command-wise)? [14:58] cosmodad: thanks for looking though :) [14:58] tapas: heh. Never mention Ubuntu when you need help there. :) [14:58] the cli or graph is only applied to aplications like mutt or kmail [14:58] cosmodad: yeah i guess [14:58] tapas: but the thing I told you should be right. [14:58] Nik0la0s: sure [14:58] Nik0la0s: lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [14:59] tapas: looking at a rules file right now, it has a config.status target, which includes the configure parameters. [14:59] cosmodad: ok, will look into it.. i do know some make syntax, etc.. but this stuff is a bit convoluted [14:59] tapas: things seem to get more difficult with more up-to-date building system, however. [14:59] tapas: don't forget to make an entire system backup if you mock with libc. [14:59] cosmodad: ok, now i just have to wait until virtualbox frees my mouse pointer [14:59] tapas: especially if you are not an expert at these things. [14:59] cosmodad: yeah it's all in a virtual box [14:59] :) [14:59] SleepingSloth: why? i do not use terminal for that program, is just so deep in folders and i want it on my desktop, maybe i make a link to it [14:59] oh ok. [14:59] cosmodad: i'm not crazy :) [14:59] hi there, any ideas what this is about: 550 relay not permitted (in reply to RCPT TO command). is that likely to be my server issue, or the server of the person im emailing? [15:00] just a little bit [15:00] tapas: heh :) [15:00] tapas: just enough to rebuild libc I suppose. ;) [15:00] exactly [15:00] :) [15:00] damn! [15:00] simion314, if you run it from terminal, you should get output - that may give you a clue as to any problem [15:01] I just broke one of the pins on my laptops battery socket [15:01] tapas: out of curiosity, what does this configure switch do that eases maintenance? [15:01] AdvoWork: you are trying to mail an address that is not hosted on that server, it refuses to relay for spam purposes [15:01] damn i wonder how i can get my mouse and keyboard get without killing the process... grmbl [and yeah hitting the right ctrl doesn't do it] [15:01] does anyone know if its replacable? [15:01] cosmodad: it allows me to disable nptl [15:01] simion314, it seems likely your two launchers are running different commands though, if one works and the other doesn't... [15:01] *replaceable [15:01] cosmodad: 2.4.x kernels don't have nptl.. and since init complains about not being able to setup thread local storage upon booting [15:02] vedo [15:02] cosmodad: and google hints into the direction that nptl is the culprit i want to turn it off [15:02] jasum vedo [15:02] koja sit [15:02] cosmodad: i guess if there were a way to give init a env var which effectively disabled nptl it would work, too [15:02] cosmodad: but i don't know whether it's possible to pass environment vars to init [15:03] simion314, no worries - let us know if you have ay luck [15:03] *any [15:03] [kinda pointless anyways, since init provides the environment for all other processes] [15:03] bascule but the thing is, we replied to their email? [15:03] tapas: not sure whether init knows env vars yet. Looking at initrd might help. [15:03] cosmodad: i boot without an initrd too ;) [15:03] tapas: that's probably easier to change than modifying libc. [15:03] AdvoWork: maybe a spoofed address [15:04] even though its a genuine customer? that weve spoken to on the phone etc? [15:04] tapas: if NPTL could be disabled at boot-up, would that work for you too? [15:04] cosmodad: and even if i had an initrd i'm still not sure how to pass that env var to init [which uses libc which in turn actually uses the env var] [15:04] just trying to rule out it being us :p [15:04] cosmodad: i guess it's worth a try [15:04] i need instructions [15:04] AdvoWork: I am not a mail admin, just know a little of these things, also if the send address was not one of the servers own it would refuse for spam reasons too [15:05] i need instructions [15:05] hi. can you tell me who should i contact for a mailinglist request at lists.ubuntu.com [15:05] ssonko: instructions? Here you go: ask a better question. :) [15:05] o need a list for romaniana ubuntu localization team [15:05] Ow1: the mailing list owner ? [15:05] AdvoWork: or your mail domain is blacklisted by them ... [15:06] Ow1: look on the ubuntu romainian loco site [15:06] i have send an email but i got not response [15:06] ssonko: How may we help you [15:06] how can i reset my laptop bios password [15:06] ikonia: i'm the coordinator or romaian loco team [15:06] ssonko, pull the battery out [15:06] ssonko: thats nothing to do with ubuntu, please contact your hardware vendor [15:06] ssonko: heh, you are in big trouble [15:06] Ow1: contact mailman [15:06] ssonko, not the big on, the small one inside [15:06] :) [15:06] jrib: i did that. with no success [15:06] i forgot my ibm thinkpad TP password [15:06] get your screwdrivers out ... :D [15:07] ssonko: That's bios related, my friend. Not ubuntu specific. [15:07] Ow1: when did you send the email? [15:07] cosmodad: i just read that glibc2.7 doesn't build without nptl, since it doesn't have linuxthreads no more [15:07] cosmodad: i guess we're out of luck then anyway [15:07] how do i remote destop and ubuntu PC [15:07] tapas: correct [15:07] ssonko: removing the battery for a while might help. [15:07] ssonko: Look up vnc and ssh. [15:07] tapas: linux-threads was obsoloete in 2.4 - removed in 2.7 [15:07] jrib: the last one was in 08 january 2008 [15:07] ssonko: both will do the job. [15:08] ikonia: so basically it's totally impossible to boot a 2.4.x kernel on a ubuntu system? [15:08] even with modifying libc [15:08] ? [15:08] jrib: i send an email to mailman@lists [15:08] tapas: awww, ok. Too bad. [15:08] tapas: you can only use a 2.4 kernel on legacy library dependant system [15:08] Good day all. [15:08] tapas: at least, it's now the programmer's problem. :) [15:08] jrib: and a previously sent another one on 7th december 2007 [15:08] cosmodad: :) [15:08] !hi | brontos [15:08] brontos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:08] Ow1: erm, yeah, definitely should not take that long. I had a response in about a week [15:08] tapas: is there no config option in the kernel to disable nptl, sure there is [15:09] jrib: yes. and i don't know what happens [15:09] bascule: well, not in a 2.4.x kernel, since it doesn't have nptl to start with [15:09] I keep having an issue where it seems *some* of my usb ports stop working, Anyway to restart them without rebooting? [15:09] bascule: which is the problem [15:09] ;) [15:09] tapas: well enable it with some patch, I am sure I have done this [15:09] hmm [15:09] an option would be an nptl backport to our 2.,4.x kernel [15:09] bascule 2.6 is built on nptl only. [15:09] but it might have been new 2.6 that had a disable option ... hmmmm [15:09] tapas that is not an option [15:09] tapas: nptl will not work against 2.4 [15:10] bascule: no - 2.6 is ntpl only [15:10] ikonia: yeah, maybe someone has hacked nptl support into a 2.4.x kernel.. [15:10] when i use the alternate installation disk, and put root on a raid, encrypted container, lvm, or combination of these, the system won't boot. is this a known bug, am i doing something wrong, or is it something else? [15:10] then nptl luibc would work against it [15:10] tapas: there is no hack [15:10] too bad :( [15:10] * bascule rakes through some old build scripts [15:11] Hi all. I'm using Geany as C++ compiler. How can I disable a stupid warning about "...unused variable". I really hate this feature :) [15:11] Leo1989: never used geany [15:11] ikonia: C::B does the same [15:12] hi.. i have a wired internet connection on system A.. now i want to connect A to another system B using ad-hoc and then use ICS to share the internet connecton.. how do i do this? [15:12] ok, then a different question.. [15:12] does anyone know what should i do if i didn't got any response from mailman@lists.ubuntu ? [15:13] we build all our custom software from ground up on a recent ubuntu system.. the software is ok on our current debian 2.4.x system except for some libc dependency stuff [15:13] Owl: Wait until you do...? [15:13] Ow1: let me check something for you [15:13] [it expects a GLIBC_2.x symbol which isn't there] [15:13] jrib: thaks! [15:13] i wodner whether one can build software in a way that this missing symbol is not a problem [15:13] when i use the alternate installation disk, and put root on a raid, encrypted container, lvm, or combination of these, the system won't boot. is this a known bug, am i doing something wrong, or is it something else? [15:13] can anyone here help me with python [15:14] curkill: try #python [15:14] jrib: i was requesting ubuntu-l10n-ro [15:14] Leo1989: doesn't geany just run gcc/g++? make sure it doesn't use -Wall or -Wunused/-Wunused-variable [15:15] tapas: there is a redhat patch for 2.4 nptl [15:15] StrangeCharm_: what does it say at boot-up? [15:15] void^: yes it dies, thx, I think it will help [15:15] does [15:16] cosmodad: 'operating system not found' [15:16] StrangeCharm_: hmm, ok. I have never done RAID, sorry. [15:17] i remember i had acx100 card that wouldn't work in 2.6 and had nptl built glibc, I am sure I had a kernel that ran [15:17] ubuntunut: it says i need to be identefied to join [15:17] cosmodad: how about either of the other two? [15:17] Ow1: may I pm? [15:18] StrangeCharm_: I recently set up an lvm/dm-crypt system, but didn't use the installer since it would provide less-safe algos only. [15:18] jrib: sure, i should be registered [15:18] it's dependent on the sender being registered, not the recipient [15:18] cosmodad: algos? [15:18] StrangeCharm_: algorithms used by dm-crypt. [15:18] curkill: Then register yoru nick and join. No one will (or should) help you here with python which is not ubuntu related. [15:19] i get this error when trying to make make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/build: rt73.ko failed to build! any help? [15:19] StrangeCharm_: 2.6.22 can do aes-lrw, but the installer didn't offer it. [15:19] StrangeCharm_: aes-lrw is preferred about the default aes-whatever. [15:19] StrangeCharm_: That's all I can tell you since I only ran into dm-crypt specific mount problems, nothing like "OS not found". [15:19] nownot: do you need it? If not don't build it, it needs firmware most likely [15:19] ubuntunut: ok thanks [15:19] hi guys [15:19] StrangeCharm_: does grub load? [15:20] bascule: what do you mean if need it? you talking about make? [15:20] nownot: that driver [15:20] bascule: yeah i need it its for my wireless card [15:21] cosmodad: no, grub doesn't. it seems like the bios can't find the /boot. but it can't be a bios error because the exact same thing happens on completely different machines [15:21] if I unplug my mouse from usb and plug it in the usb stops working. any way to reset the usb without rebooting? [15:21] nownot: it needs firmware to build at a guess, not sure what the procedure is check /Documentation [15:21] StrangeCharm_: you could try re-installing grub. [15:21] StrangeCharm_: when I installed, grub installation failed, but I was given a note about this. [15:21] I'm using nvidia-driver and TwinView (two displays: dfp intern, crt extern) and I want to rotate the extern display but somehow xrandr -o left does not work. [15:22] nownot: it could of course just be a build bug ... :) [15:22] What is the option to insert in xorg.conf to permanently rotate a display? [15:22] i get this error when trying to make make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/build: rt73.ko failed to build! any help? [15:22] question: how do I change the system default background image in ubuntu? (i.e., when a new user logs in, I want their background to be different from the default one). [15:22] StrangeCharm_: there's a good page on grub installation, but it's in German only. If you don't mind, I can give it to you. [15:22] Hi all. How do I remove every package that kubuntu-desktop installed? I still got loads of extra apps in my GNOME list, how do I get rid? [15:23] PS I installed kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu [15:23] mcisbackuk: start with kdelibs? [15:23] cosmodad: i didn't get an indication, but then, i did go off and do other things while it was installing, only coming back at the end. unfortunately, my german is not so hot, and i think that a mediocre grub page would be better than a googletrans of a good page, but i'm willing to take a look anyway [15:24] BenderUnit22: What I mean is, is there any way I can find out what packages it DOES install, like from in Synaptic or something so I can make sure I remove them with apt-get remove [15:24] StrangeCharm_: ok, here you go: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB [15:24] StrangeCharm_: I'm sure google offers some good English pages too. [15:24] mcisbackuk: you could check out what it pulls in with apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop? [15:25] cosmodad: google knows all that humans know [15:25] StrangeCharm_: I could explain to you the vitals, but again I have no clue about raid and wouldn't wanna wreck your system more than it is already. [15:25] StrangeCharm_: unfortunately, it's sometimes unwilling to give that information to you. ;) [15:26] can someone plz tell me how to install open ssl? [15:26] cosmodad: no, i find google to be very helpful, its just the internet tht can be more annoying [15:26] t47984358: it's already installed [15:27] t47984358: Uh... sudo aptitude install openssl doesn't work?] [15:27] well, if i try to install hydra, a password cracker - the install process tells me that open ssl cant be found [15:27] and help? [15:27] i try [15:27] t47984358: you need libssl-dev. [15:28] t47984358: (assuming you're installing from source) [15:28] what is the maximum amount of memory Ubuntu Server x86 will handle? [15:28] t47984358: you compiling hydra? [15:28] ty [15:28] d1nker: 64GB afaik [15:28] how many apt get, apt install, aptitude commands are there? And when do i use which? Is it like kernel components, classes and user applications? [15:29] gitty! [15:29] t47984358: how are you installing hydra [15:29] i just untared and made it === iptablesquestion is now known as iptablesQuery [15:29] d1nker: I think it's less === wirechief is now known as wirechief4 [15:29] identify silvermachine4 [15:30] Does anyone know why there is no iptables init script in ubuntu? Lots of people seem to be rolling their own, which seems silly [15:30] what does the shortening "rc" stand for? like in ".bashrc"? [15:30] Ballena: just a name [15:30] Ballena, resource configuration, aka .conf [15:30] iptablesQuery: differnet people set it up different [15:30] ok, ic [15:31] Ballena: Ballena http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/what-does-rc-stand-for-31758/?highlight=stand [15:31] BenderUnit22: good form [15:31] BenderUnit22: thanks [15:31] why does the live cd not detect my hard drive [15:31] ikonia: sorry? [15:31] here is the err: [15:31] hydra-sip.c:4:25: Fehler: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory [15:31] hydra-sip.c:5:25: Fehler: openssl/err.h: No such file or directory [15:31] hydra-sip.c:6:25: Fehler: openssl/md5.h: No such file or directory [15:31] BenderUnit22: good form, finding that url [15:31] Oh. *blush* Thx. :) [15:31] t47984358: did you install libssl-dev? [15:32] t47984358: speak to the package maintainer, I don't feel it apporpriate to discuss building password cracking tools [15:32] gilda-> fdisk -l and see if it detects it [15:32] ok [15:32] it doesnt [15:32] cizarro, Ballena: or runtime configuration? google gives both [15:33] LjL, /me shrugs. I've always thought it's resource :-) [15:33] bkar: it doesnt at all [15:33] gilda-> is the hard driver working? [15:33] ikonia: I guess so, but that is true for anything, a default script would still be useful [15:34] gilda-> is the hard drive working rather [15:34] yes the hard drive works its running an alternate linux distro - with ext 2 [15:34] and ext3 [15:34] iptablesQuery not really, easy to right one [15:34] iptablesQuery: firewalling is very personal [15:34] cizarro: no i don't know really, just saying google gives runtime too [15:34] apparently rc means "runcom" run command [15:35] gilda-> no response at all when you do fdisk -l [15:35] Hi im trying to put a new file system on my USB stick. i just cant remember the command to find out what the device is called... [15:35] bkar: nothing [15:35] i for got what the command to change htpasswd.user is to change a password on term any help ? [15:35] bkar: just brings me back to root prompt [15:36] gilda dmesg | grep sd or maybe hd [15:36] ikonia: the iptables setup itself varies, but the requirement to start iptables with a saved ruleset is pretty much universal [15:36] Incompetnce-> mount [15:37] thanks bkar [15:37] ikonia: Having everyone do it themselves is just a recipe for people getting it wrong in different random ways :) [15:37] bkar: grepping sd - nothing grepping hd- just my dvd drive [15:37] especially since lots of people seem to be just using the same slightly odd script from gentoo, which messes up if it is stopped twice [15:37] iptablesQuery truth be told, people hand scripting firewall rules in iptables should be able to write a simple script - or it's just disaster any way. ubuntu includes firestarter for people with lesser requirements [15:38] gilda-> i dont know, maybe reboot, make sure it is active in the bios? it should have been detected [15:38] ikonia: I suppose, but its just another thing to look at, plus I find iptables a lot more logical than bash scripts ;) [15:38] !sound [15:38] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:38] bkar: it is active in the bios - it works perfectly - i am on the live cd multiple attempts no change [15:38] iptablesQuery: I'm making a generic statment, not aimed at you personally [15:39] hi.. i have a wired internet connection on system A.. now i want to connect A to another system B using ad-hoc and then use ICS to share the internet connecton.. how do i do this? [15:39] i found the answer to my own quetion [15:39] gilda i dont know, reboot and try liveCD again [15:39] iptablesQuery: Yup I'm not taking offence, just saying that the startup script should be pretty standard so it would be nicer at least to have an example one (like the one in debian, at least in sarge) [15:40] bkar: ive rebooted multiple times checked the md5sum of my iso to make sure non corrupted and still no go [15:41] hello [15:42] the only thing i can think that may be related is that lspci | grep IDE [15:42] 00:09.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP65 IDE (rev a1) [15:42] 00:0a.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP65 SATA Controller (rev a3) [15:43] Has anybody successfully build and installed ImageMagick 6.3.x on gutsy using checkinstall? [15:43] gilda oh sata controller, i think there was an issue of delayed detection, i forgot what the resolution is though [15:44] SCIM & SKIM dont work in Firefox & Openoffice @ Kubuntu 7.10, any solution? [15:44] bkar: ya im looking for a workaround cuz im kinda sol at the moment - was testing distros and couldnt stand the one installed =p [15:48] gilda which liveCD are you using to install? [15:48] 7.10 [15:49] the regular ubuntu one - as i thought the xubuntu was the cause of me issue [15:49] lol guess not === toc2rta is now known as MeNoS [15:52] i'm looking for a software similar to abobe fireworks , for ubuntu. any suggestion ? [15:52] how do I reload bash without rebooting the system? [15:53] ikonia: Well thanks for help, I'll go write a script :) [15:53] iptablesQuery: maybe submit it for inclusion in to hardy +1 [15:53] cab46: inkscape [15:53] I want to make a visual representation of a database (@ ubuntu), I tried dia and glom already, but these are buggy/not meant for me. What would you advise me? [15:53] Ballena-> you may go to init level 1 and then back to 2 [15:54] Ballena: depends of what you want to do... what is it? [15:54] cab46 CinePaint,Gimp,Inkscape perhaps [15:54] bkar: how? [15:54] Ballena-> sudo telinit 1 [15:54] inkscape will cover the vector based gimp will cover photoshop like stuff but to be as all inclusive as fireworks good luck [15:54] I have mad som chnages in .bashrc and want bash to be reloaded [15:55] so they will take afffect [15:55] cab46: gilda is right. you will have to compromise between inkscape and gimp [15:55] Ballena-> oh then you just have to log out, no need to boot or go to another level [15:56] so I do have to log out :/ [15:56] cab46: it depends on what aspects of fireworks you are looking for [15:56] Ballena-> or source your bashrc [15:57] Ballena: or re-enter "bash" in bash [15:57] bkar: how do I 'source' it? [15:57] ok [15:57] . .bashrc [15:58] hi [15:58] can anybody help me? [15:58] have a problem with conky being on top of all my windows [15:58] and I'd rather exec bash then just start another one [15:58] anyone know why apt is asking for the ubuntu cd when trying to install alien? [15:58] ls [15:58] and is that really the recommended way to install an rpm under ubuntu? [15:59] You have the CD in your sources.list, green-_ [15:59] green-_: your ubuntu installcd is in your sources.list [15:59] green-_: there is no recommended way to install an rpm under ubuntu, since it's definitely NOT recommended to install rpm's under ubuntu [15:59] green-_: installing rpms are recommended. but if you must, alien is what you should use. if you can, compile the source instead [15:59] green-_: sorry i meant NOT recommended [15:59] LjL: it's a SRPM [16:00] i just need to get the source so I can compile, and the source is apparently only available via SRPM [16:00] green-_: not very different [16:00] LjL: meaning? [16:00] green-_: well, get the srpm but compile it manually is probably the best thing to do. and compile it *to install into /usr/local or /opt*, never into /usr [16:01] hi.. i have a wired internet connection on system A.. now i want to connect A to another system B using ad-hoc and then use ICS to share the internet connecton.. how do i do this????? [16:01] Hi all - I'm having problems with Compiz. It's not affecting the menu bar, and after installing ccsm I now sometimes get a GNOME error saying there was an error starting the Daemon. [16:01] green-_: meaning that installing a binary rpm is not really different from telling rpm to compile a source one and then install the resulting binary [16:01] so, both as far as possible from "recommended" [16:01] green-_: what is it that you need to install anyway? [16:01] i'd certainly prefer NOT to compile it, but as there no alternative .... [16:02] LjL: avant window navigator [16:02] hi is there any arabic in here? [16:03] green-_: you can add "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator [16:03] to your sources.list [16:03] damn, Niklas beat me to it [16:03] dreamnid: :) [16:03] can someone help me, every boots fcheck fails with error 8 (it says so) so i have to do control D to start up but then my interns hd is not mounted (second one with only data) [16:03] every 3 boots i mean [16:03] what is the package name for the mysql dev files [16:04] green-_, avant is in Hardy, first thing to try would be to backport that (although avant is so popular that i suspect that if it compiled out of the box, someone would have made a backport already) [16:04] it seems to be my my sata drive, but i only have this problem with ubuntu [16:04] !ar | C10uD [16:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about ar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:04] !sa | C10uD [16:04] C10uD: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa [16:05] thanks LjL [16:05] :O [16:05] Having problems encoding avi to flv cant choose mp3 codec, have tried to find a way to install some kind of mp3 codec on my ubuntu server (6.10) for a couple of days [16:05] you are l33t indeed!!! [16:05] :D [16:05] Anyone with a tip? [16:06] green-_: there is also a package (version 0.2.1) at getdeb.net, although getdeb is not something i generally recommend too much [16:06] (broken packages were not unusual last time i checked) [16:07] LjL , are there any java for architecture PPC64 ?? [16:07] because i mistakenly installed the PPC32 bits [16:07] LjL: well, what's likely my better route - SRPM or getdeb.net? :) [16:07] MeNoS: they're two different architectures? [16:08] green-_, do try compiling the Hardy package before trying either of those [16:08] green-_: do with getdeb, they make pretty stable debs in my experience [16:08] green-_: Nik0la0s already gave you the deb repository for AWN [16:08] are they ?? [16:08] ah, missed that [16:08] green-_ : or rather Niklas [16:09] because i installed 32bit PPC of java, install was succesful but the java doesn't work [16:09] dreamnid: sloppy fingers? *G* [16:09] MeNoS, did you install it from medibuntu (which seems to work today)? [16:09] it worked for you ? [16:09] Niklas: No, made a guess on which nik**** it was based off the auto-complete :-P [16:09] sure i wil check [16:09] Niklas: sorry :-P [16:10] Hello everyone, i am having trouble letting people connect to my Netrek game server, the client apps are supposed to connect to port 2592 but they cant find the right ip address to connect to [16:10] MeNoS, "apt-get update" now works fine for me [16:10] k [16:10] There is 2 ip addresses under Network Tools for my connection, one just says IP the other says Broadcast [16:10] what is the command to view connections made? [16:10] dreamnid: hehe, np [16:11] ImageMagick 6.3.x as deb, anyone? [16:11] didn't worked for me , LjL [16:11] Niklas: i get a 404 on that source [16:12] although i can hit it from browser [16:12] Is there any s/w that can take shot while using ubuntu? like make movie? [16:12] hmmm [16:12] ah nm [16:12] MeNoS: says what? [16:12] green-_: uh? wait a sec [16:12] angah: istanbul [16:12] Niklas: it's correct.. though now apt is giving me a GPG error [16:12] i am having trouble letting people connect to my Netrek game server, the client apps are supposed to connect to port 2592 but they cant find the right ip address to connect to. There is two ip addresses in Network Tools, one is under IP the other is under Broadcast [16:12] it didn't worked for me [16:13] thanks [16:13] what is the equivalent of "ipconfig" in the terminal? [16:13] green-_: download this http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/reacocard.asc and use sudo apt-key on it [16:13] angah: xvidcap also works [16:13] !doesn't work | MeNoS [16:13] MeNoS: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [16:14] i am having trouble letting people connect to my Netrek game server, the client apps are supposed to connect to port 2592 but they cant find the right ip address to connect to. There is two ip addresses in Network Tools, one is under IP the other is under Broadcast [16:14] LjL, what is the site where i can paste my sources.list again ?? [16:14] Niklas: excellent, thanks. [16:14] i will show you [16:14] i need to know how to configure my network to allow connections on the right ip and under the right port [16:14] green-_: Ur welcome [16:15] anyone know the window decorator for kde? [16:15] bascule: yeah i read about that too [16:15] did you locate it [red hat patch nptl 2.4.x] [16:16] !paste > MeNoS (MeNoS, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:16] !topic > MeNoS (MeNoS, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:16] hmm.. now to figure out why AWN prefs won't even come up [16:16] Niklas: you using awn? [16:16] bascule: i guess it'll apply on red hat kernels only anyways.. still searching though [16:16] green-_: yep [16:17] i just logged in/out of X and tried bringing up the AWN prefs [16:17] but nothing comes up... anything else I need to do? [16:17] is this is proper channel to ask a fairly specific question about ubuntu...or is there a developer channel that would be more appropriate [16:17] green-_: you must click on the outer corner [16:17] LjL http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53862/ [16:18] Niklas: heh, of what? [16:18] green-_: or run "awn-manager" from a terminal and look on the output [16:18] green-_: did you start awn yet? [16:18] MeNoS, medibuntu *is* working, it's other repositories that are not (the source ones - it's probably they are on a different server). but they shouldn't really be needed [16:19] Niklas: i guess not? start it from where? [16:19] green-_: alt+f2, enter avant-window-navigator [16:19] hi.. i have a wired internet connection on system A.. now i want to connect A to another system B using ad-hoc and then use ICS to share the internet connecton.. how do i do this????? [16:19] hello can I ask a question about Amarok [16:19] yea true [16:19] green-_: later you can add it to your (gnome)session [16:19] srijan: ask [16:19] ah, there we go :) [16:19] Having problems using mp3 audiocodec in ffmpeg, tip? [16:19] Is there any equlizer preset available for Amarok? [16:20] srijan: yes, should be under tools [16:20] what is this stupid thing compiz is doing where it makes a window like 10% opaque when i start another app [16:20] it's not focus trail, it is something else [16:20] because it's only for a few seconds [16:21] Thanks very much Jeff :) [16:21] green-_: maybe opacify? but I'm not sure [16:21] srijan: np [16:21] whem you compile, make install, some software, is there also a command to deinstall/remove ?? [16:22] brobostigon: make uninstall [16:22] brobostigon: If the developer has defined the make target, its usually make uninstall or make remove. [16:22] brobostigon: sometimes there is "make uninstall", but generally speaking you're on your own. [16:22] brobostigon: which is one of the reasons using ubuntu packages is much recommended over compiling [16:22] * Niklas takes a big hammer and begins slashing imagemagick [16:22] Niklas: what is the problem with image magik ? [16:22] Now about Ubuntu Auto Update..I'm using version 7.10 Edubuntu. When I runthe system update after being notified, I find one "mjpegtools shown under Other Updates, but I can not select it! Why? [16:22] brobostigon: i always install bastardized debs with checkinstall so i don't run into those problems [16:23] so its either make uninstall or make remove,correct, [16:23] MeNoS: have you come across this page? http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/ - it's about the PS3, which uses PPC 64-bit, so it might apply to your machine [16:23] hello, been reading some articles about swappiness. it sounds like a good swappiness should be inverse to ram. 256mb ram, swappiness of 100 is going to have best performance, but if you have 2-4gb ram, swappiness of 10-20 will yeild best performance. Anyone else have anecdotal experience to share? [16:23] ikonia: I want to install version 6.3 as a deb (without make install), but libtool does not comply.. [16:23] Niklas: where is that deb coming from ? [16:23] brobostigon: it's either one of those, or remove each file manually. [16:24] ikonia: by me. but there is no deb yet, because checkinstall quits before completing the job [16:24] Having problems using mp3 audiocodec in ffmpeg, tip? [16:25] Niklas, checkinstall is evil :) [16:25] 64 bit ppc ??? isn't that kind of like a stone wheel with spinners? [16:25] ikonia: Yeh, I know. I took the tbz2 from the IM website, ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall. and it does not find the files it should install (/usr/bin/install: setting permissions for `/usr/lib/libMagick.so.10.0.10': No such file or directory) [16:25] Seveas: it's useful for small programs. debhelper is nice though [16:25] ikonia: but what should I do? make install into /usr? :/ [16:26] set the --prefix option [16:26] jeffMASTERflex, it's not useful for small programs either, it's the wrong way of making packages [16:26] adelie: are you somehow under the impression that PPC is an "inferior" architecture? [16:26] ikonia: yes, I could. but I will have to install (and update ) it on 8 servers at least [16:26] hey guys. my mic doesn't work (both internal and external). it used to work before. where do I start looking for what's wrong? [16:26] Niklas: no, just tar it up and drop it in if you don't want to use the package manager [16:26] Seveas, it's the only thing around that lets you do a "make install" with some guarantee that you'll be able to revert it - all its problems notwithstanding [16:27] LjL: ok, MIPS ppc was GREAT! and I miss the hell out out of it. I think it is a fabulous architecture that is no longer supported in any meaningful way. [16:27] LjL: to a great disappointment [16:27] ikonia: I want to use the package manager. but imagemagick is freaking old in ubuntu and debian with no sign of change.. [16:27] adelie: eh? PPC here = PowerPC, not PocketPC [16:28] yes, power pc [16:28] Could some one help me here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=667500? [16:28] adelie: then i don't know what MIPS PPC is [16:29] hi [16:29] hi ronino [16:29] hi guys U by chance know any polish ubuntu channel? [16:29] I installed Xen and whenever I start a domU I only get half a console, the bottom half stays black, how to fix it?

Later, because intel convinced everyone it was all about megahertz, they switched to motarola BIPS arc which was "faster" (only looking at the clock), but is very ineffecient by comparison [16:31] so I will have to do it the hard way.. thx anyway ikonia [16:31] karol: you looking for guides for customizing gnome interface? [16:33] for an Intel 64 bit install, do I use the packages marked as amd64 ?

[16:34] also, is it already stable enough to install hardy ? [16:34] wimpies: no [16:35] ok gutsy it is then ... [16:35] wimpies: ubuntu web site strongly recommends against "upgrading" until the release if you value your computer working on a regular basis, or if you need to get to your data all the time [16:36] adelie : it is a fresh install [16:36] in ubuntu i write "init 3" but dont exit graphic mode, how i do? [16:36] !init3 [16:36] hi.. i have a wired internet connection on system A.. now i want to connect A to another system B using ad-hoc and then use ICS to share the internet connecton.. how do i do this?????

[16:39] how can i set the verbose mode one a usplash theme? [16:41] wimpies: the desktop / live cd / dvd is very pretty and gives you a full working system... if the image on the disc works with your system. it is a full install on a CD that is mostly compatible. alternate is just packages, and only has a terminal mode install (no live desktop) and configures everything manually rather than just copying a working system to your hard drive. in my personal experience, alternate cd always works, IF it is going to work at all, [16:41] adac2 it is done in /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:41] how do i install from a tgz file ? [16:42] Hi i am a new ubuntu user\ [16:42] anyone have a tip on how i can limit bandwidth of an individual process/(or outoing port)? [16:42] th0r: so i just remove the ro quiet splash [16:43] wimpies: I had thought that the alternate disc necessity to configure each package during install would mean that it would take longer, but that has not been my experience. live CD is great demo disc, and 'pretty looking', but alternate disc is 'get er` done' I just want to install disc. :) [16:43] tclineks_: tcpkill. or the nice way: trickle (http://debaday.debian.net/2007/05/30/trickle-a-lightweight-userspace-bandwidth-shaper/) [16:44] * zoom is away: à ce soir [16:44] adac2 make it read splash=verbose if I recall correctly [16:44] MeNoS, What do you see when you open it with xarchive?

[16:57] hi [16:57] ssn: hello [16:57] SleepingSloth: mainly a question of amount of memory [16:58] Euhm, hi all, guys. Ive got a little question. I want to set up an ftp server. Ive alredy tryed, but cant connect to it yet. So ive read some info that states that i have to register ad some DSN website to get this working. Is it a must? Is it what isnt letting me to connect to my ftp server? or.. i dunno, some suggestions mb anyone?:) thx [16:58] the i386 kernel package doesnt support the 2 cores of my intel dual core [16:58] kel39: not a must but depends [16:58] <`Matir> ssn, that's correct, it has no SMP support [16:58] SleepingSloth: depends on what kind of performance you want. if it is less than three years old, I think you will greatly prefer the features of gnome over the limitations of xfce. I have not seen much of a performance difference that makes up for the lack of features or configurability [16:59] Matir: but there is no -smp version [16:59] kel39: are you using apache2? [16:59] ikonia,when iam doing ./configure i got this result http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53869/ what should i do [16:59] erawfish, adelie is there any other real benefit to xfce / icewm / fluxbox other than smaller memory footprint? [16:59] <`Matir> ssn, use -generic [16:59] ssn: there are no 386SMP machines either [16:59] SleepingSloth: yes, if you have < 256 mb ram [16:59] Niklas: that looks about perfect, thanks [16:59] @adelie how can i see it [17:00] erawfish: so if ive setup my ftp server, lets say, i cant just go ahead and connect to it right away? offcourse if i havent made any mistakes. right?:) [17:00] SleepingSloth: it would be like trying to use vista on a machine with less than 25tb of memory [17:00] rama_8086: that is why you don't have config.status as configure has not run correctly. You need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point at the gtk package config file [17:00] adelie, bearing in mind that i have a dual opteron machine with 3gb ram, i dont think i'll worry then.... [17:00] does any of you know about a decent dictionary for translating between danish/english for to use with Ubuntu? [17:00] kel39: if you know the iP: yes. but residential internet access often changes IPs evrey time you "dial in". or some ports are blocked [17:00] adelie, what, you mean it actually *works* if you have 25tb of ram?!! [17:01] kel39: and ftp is very tricky to get right too === kalpik is now known as kalpikn [17:01] ikonia, can u please tell me how to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH [17:01] adelie: not really, it's actually an xp box where im trying to set it up. just wanna try to set my ftp server, and practice hacking it with metasploit framework. :) [17:01] ikonia, it's possible rama_8086 doesn't have libgtk1.2-dev installed? [17:01] SleepingSloth: I have a machine with 233mhz, and 64mb ram running xubuntu just fine with abiword.. etc [17:01] unop_ thats very true yes [17:02] unop_: gtk1.2 is a bit old [17:02] rama_8086: unop_ has a good point, but either way your configure script is not looking for the correct gtk version/location [17:02] rama_8086: what are you trying to build [17:02] kel39: sorry, don't do windows server diagnostic. too many reasons to not work [17:02] adelie, I was meaning vista ;) - but... as i have the hardware, you would say there's little point moving from gnome to xfce? [17:02] erawfish, yes, but it looks like rama_8086 needs it to build whatever he is building [17:03] SleepingSloth: I think going to xfce would be bad [17:03] hi guys how can i get the ubuntu theme over in fedora? [17:03] ikonia,,i want to build a network monitoring system...this code i got from net [17:03] rama_8086: what is the system you want to build called [17:03] SleepingSloth: low memory footprint doesn't mean effecient [17:03] mohbana: download from gnome.org or move the theme files across [17:03] SleepingSloth: it just has a way of GETTING things done using as little memory as possible. that doesn't mean faster [17:03] why does xp take so long to install in vmware server? lol [17:04] mohbana, have you tried http://www.gnome-look.org/ [17:04] adelie: oke, i just wanted to set up some, not the bes, i mean, how would i say, secure, ftp server to be able to get into it :) [17:04] adelie, no, i am aware of that - but i would expect decent memory management from *any* linux wm. [17:05] morning [17:05] kel39: I just found apache2 has great sftp support by default and VERY easy to setup depending on your security needs [17:06] SleepingSloth: ?? [17:06] ikonia, what is the system means ....i didn't get ur point [17:06] rama_8086, is what you are building called blinky? [17:06] is there any way to install everything from synaptic? or apt-get ? [17:06] rama_8086: what is the name of the software you want to install [17:06] I'm going crazy. I'm using Gutsy and my keyboard on my D820 locks up frequently on certain applications. [17:06] bio: * ? [17:06] install all the packets from apt-get [17:06] Does anyone know how to fix this? This is incredibly frustrating. [17:06] bio: or "select all" in synaptic [17:06] name of sofware is network monitoring system [17:07] bio: that't the point of the distro [17:07] erawfish: hmm, ports ports ports, may be i have something to do with it, cuz, i have a router adsl modem, witch has firewall inside, or how would i name it, maybe this is why i cant connect, dunno, gonna do some more research [17:07] ikonia,name of sofware is network monitoring system [17:07] hmm [17:07] but when running the generic or rt kernel, graphics arent working [17:07] is there any way of installing xp into vmware server quicker its takend years? [17:07] adelie: this is into my hosts "127.0.0.1 localhost serverlnx" [17:07] rama_8086: can you show me a link where you got it please. [17:07] i have a nvidia geforce 8800 card [17:07] kel39: we do not support windows and we do not support configuring routers. this is for ubuntu questions only [17:08] i tried reinstalling nvidia-glx-new [17:08] adelie, i have more than a cursory understanding of computer hardware. i understand your point - but i would be shocked if it held any water in this case. are you seriously suggesting that a lightweight wm would be unable to utilise more memory than the minimum amount it actually required? I bvery much doubt it... [17:08] adelie: thx, i know that the one and only real server software is apache, and im looking forwward also of, somettime setting it to, to see/try how secure it is, bot now, not yet :) [17:08] Are there known issues when printing to a network connected printer in a mixed Ubuntu/Windows office? Everything will be okay then the jobs will just start throwing Errors and nobody can print. [17:08] but x is always starting in save mode [17:09] is there a quicker way of getting a emulated xp running in ubuntu, im currently installing it in virtual pc but its taking ages? [17:09] erawfish: hehe, i know i know, just had that DNS question, that would be the same for any system, so i tough it would be oke to fire it up here :) === kalpik is now known as kalpik_ [17:09] kel39: it's still very very rude [17:10] ikonia,http://csourcesearch.net/package/blinky/0.2/ [17:10] rama_8086: ok - it's called blinky [17:10] is there a quicker way of getting a emulated xp running in ubuntu, im currently installing it in vmware server but its going realy slow* [17:10] ZioPippo: from the forum you pointed to,that was the only thing I could think of that might be out of place. Sorry, going to have to say this is beyond me. I have not setup a mysql server for production use [17:10] !info blinky [17:10] Package blinky does not exist in gutsy [17:10] erawfish: euhm, rude? hmm, ill re-read my comment cuz i havent meant it like this, dunno.. :) [17:11] what types of themes am i looking for gtk 2.0? [17:11] adelie: tnx [17:11] ikonia, ok how to solve that error === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [17:11] rama_8086: well you need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH correctly or use the correct gtk-libs as unop_ suggested [17:11] stephen-mason: if it doesn't work in wine, you have to emulate it. there are other emulators than just vmware, but i have not tried them [17:12] so i have to choose between using just one core of my cpu or getting X to run properly? [17:12] SleepingSloth: well, my argument, and from limited anecdotal experience is that the benifits of xfce are not scalable [17:12] phroughy, its working just slow i thought i might be able to download like a preinstalled xp disk image or somthing? [17:12] ikonia, i already installed that package [17:12] rama_8086, try installing libgtk1.2-dev first -- sudo aptitude install libgtk1.2-dev [17:13] because -ck and -i386 are working, but -generic and -rt lead to X always starting with a very low resolution (vesa) [17:13] I have a bizzare bug that just started, any where i put my mouse cursor, it scrolls up (like if a key is stuck) any ideas on debuggung (besides restarting) [17:13] erawfish: anyway thx for info, ill go search some more info, i guess i just made some mistake somewhere. Setting up an ftp first time :) [17:13] i tried reinstalling nvidia-glx-new [17:13] stephen-mason: just do a fresh install, emulating is always slow. [17:13] but that didnt do the job [17:13] adelie, i've got to jet now, but... i agree, that's why i asked the original question. bb [17:13] SleepingSloth: but more so, I would say that the loss of features between xfce and gnome isn't worth it on a system with more that 1gb of memory [17:14] of xp on another partition? === igors is now known as IgorSobreira [17:14] my problem is, that there seems to be no "meta package" of the generic kernel === IgorSobreira is now known as igors [17:14] kompute1: do you have a wireless mouse? [17:15] stephen-mason: no, i mean emulating is always slow, but if its going too slow your xp might be bloated, reinstalling it in the vmware might help [17:15] its the instalation process that is taking long, :) lol [17:15] adelie, well, it's not as if you aren't allowed to use any gnome packages if your DE is xfce -- it really doesnt matter what you use as a DE anyway, infact XFCE and gnome are built atop gtk and share gtk libraries [17:15] stephen-mason: oh lol, get used to it [17:15] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly? [17:16] you bastard, :) lol [17:16] !language | stephen-mason [17:16] stephen-mason: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:16] lol, OWWWW!!!! [17:16] we are mostly adults here are we not? [17:16] stephen-mason, no - kids and women pass through too [17:16] hi [17:17] stephen-mason, there's a reason that notice says "family friendly" [17:17] i'm looking for a linux replacement for derive from texas instruments ... can someone help me? [17:17] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly? [17:17] im sure they have heard plenty of bad language before AND i wouldnt egsacly call it bad its just a part of it [17:17] stephen-mason: just follow the rules and stop complaining [17:17] stephen-mason, thats not an excuse for bad language [17:17] it was also said in context with a smily face and a lol, :) [17:18] what ever happend to fredom of speach a! [17:18] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:18] unop_: err... I know that is true from having read documentstion, but just in my experience taking pieces of kde or gnome and adding them to xfce often has 'weird' undesirable results... but i will admit that I never really tracked down the problems... I just use gnome OR xfce default install [17:18] stephen-mason, irc is not a democracy eh [17:18] please [17:19] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:19] lol, it is a tool of a community to communicated. to transmit information, in the form of facts and opinions. there will be difference of opinions if every one said they didnt like the way something was im sure it would get fixed/changed within the chanel [17:19] adelie, i dont really see why you had problems mixing and matching - i run both gnome and kde packages atop fluxbox, yes i have problems, but they're all pretty much fixable [17:19] unop_, i installed the package what u said [17:19] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:19] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:19] kompute1: well, if you are still having the issue with a traveling mouse, you are either using a laser mouse on something that was never meant to be a mousepad (very shiny surface or black metalic surface) or you are using a wireless mouse whose battery is about to die [17:19] ssn: What are you trying to do? [17:19] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:20] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:20] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:20] ssn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:20] can anybody help me please getting the generic kernel to work properly with my geforce card? [17:20] ssn: no one is going to help you if you flood [17:20] stephen-mason, cursing is not an opinion maybe you should try ubuntu-offtopic? [17:20] see what that dudes doing is not cool lol [17:20] Don't just keep saying it over and over. [17:20] stephen-mason, listen, people get banned from here for saying the most harmless 4 letter words -- you were warned because thats what happens if you swear, now let it pass ok [17:20] ssn that got you a world of help [17:20] your opinion on my cursing is what we was talking about [17:20] lol i konia is a funny [17:20] !offtopic | MeNoS [17:20] MeNoS: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:21] unp_, what should i do next [17:21] ssn: no, I do not know why you can't get it to work. since i am guessing your problem is that it does not work at all, since that is a very 'early' type problem, try reinstalling with an alternate cd, and enable restricted drivers. :) [17:21] i just said u were a funny guy [17:21] ssn: have you tried to google for help? [17:21] unop_, what should i do next [17:21] now what is so wrong about that ? [17:21] MeNoS: this is an ubuntu support channel, please don't make random noise [17:21] rama_8086, try running ./configure again, see what happens [17:21] was just said in a unoffencive manner! should look at things in context and not just pick a peice of it out [17:21] phroughy: i dont have x anymore [17:21] unop_: was it missing package ? [17:21] Hello. I am pretty new to Ubuntu and I have installed it on my desktop computer. I have a wireless USB adapter which is unfortunately only compatible with Windows. Is there any Linux based software or whatever that would be able to make my USB adapter compatible with the Linux operating system I have just installed. [17:21] ok [17:22] ssn: gdm [17:22] stephen-mason, this is ubuntu support not #philosophy [17:22] ssn: do you have another computer to use? a friends or a public computer? [17:22] stephen-mason, there's no ifs and buts, you just get kicked out -- there are no exceptions (except this one, you're still in for some reason) [17:22] phroughy: no, but elinks [17:22] ikonia, well, let's find out - he just installed libgtk1.2-dev [17:22] unop_: ahh cool [17:23] i googled and there are just these tutorials how to get nvidia running [17:23] ubuntu sucks [17:23] bungu , you suck [17:23] bastones: both windows and linux have issues with 'non-standard' wireless adapters, particularly when they are third party. my recommendation is to search in google for "ubuntu insertmodelnumberhere" [17:23] sudoubungu yup...you should reinstall windows [17:23] but not on the fact, that installing other kernels than i386 doesnt work [17:23] sudoubungu: that is not appropriate for this channel. [17:23] ssn: What display adapter do you have? [17:23] lol, why are you stressing so much, who made you all high and mightly just chill, i havent gone swaring saying every bad word under the sun have i. i am just explaining that just because there was a bad word there doesnt mean it was a bad phrase [17:23] sudoubungu: this is a support channel only [17:23] MeNoS: please don't respond like that [17:23] fine ikonia [17:23] !nvidia [17:23] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:23] if you wont help [17:23] ssn: you usually get better results doing a google search, rather than hoping that someone here knows how to help you, so try to do that. if you need to you can use lynx [17:23] usr13: as i said before, its a geforce 8800 and im using nvidia-glx-new [17:23] then thats it [17:23] sudoubungu: if you like vista, go for it. don't care [17:23] th0r> ikonia no other linux and solaris an dfreebsd [17:23] that works with -i386 and -ck [17:24] stephen-mason, thats not what the !ops think tho [17:24] ssn: see above from ubotu [17:24] sudoubungu no...you would be much happier in windows [17:24] just giving warning to all the noobs [17:24] usr13: ? [17:24] ssn: Do you not have Xserver at all right now? [17:24] sudoubungu: please stop that attitude, and stop making posts up - that was never said [17:24] stephen-mason, instead of beating your head against a brick wall why not take your discussion to a more suitable forum? [17:24] usr13: its running with vesa [17:24] unop_, ./configure is working successfully how to create a executable [17:25] im fine here thanks for the help [17:25] th0r , do you know anything about PPC arch ? [17:25] unop_: good catch [17:25] MeNoS: PPC support is not in this channel [17:25] MeNoS nope...sorry [17:25] rama_8086, it depends on how you need to build the package -- refer to the INSTALL/README file in the same directory [17:25] rama_8086: make then sudo make install [17:25] ssn: see [17:25] ikonia , what is wrong with you man!! ?? i was just asking him a question !! [17:25] MeNoS: you are using a PS3 which is not supported by the main ubuntu community as you have been told more than once, you have also been given links to that community website [17:25] Does anyone know which program is responsible for automounting my cd drive [17:25] rama_8086, its probably make -- but that depends [17:25] i loaded the wrong video driver how do i revert [17:25] ikonia!! [17:25] Spenser309, hal [17:25] MeNoS this place gets better every day [17:25] ssn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:25] nah [17:26] ikonia [17:26] pisses me off [17:26] kalpik: how can i use hal to run an shell command [17:26] i usr13 i tried all that [17:26] !enter | MeNos [17:26] MeNos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:26] kalpik: when a cd is inserted [17:26] ty [17:26] !language | MeNoS [17:26] MeNoS: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:26] MeNoS: ikonia: YellowDogLinux has much better support for PS3 than ubuntu [17:26] Spenser309, i dunno that much.. sorry :) [17:26] Grrrr. How can I stop kacipid?? [17:26] adelie: very good point [17:26] kalpik: its alright [17:26] its just that there is a i386 meta package, but no generic package [17:26] adelie , i don't like yellow dog [17:26] fhorta: sudo killall kacipid L [17:27] kalpik: do you happen to know where the documentation for hal is? [17:27] L = ? [17:27] ssn: Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager in Ubuntu [17:27] Spenser309: gnome has some good docs on it due to intergration [17:27] there is linux-386 and in my case linux-686-ck [17:27] but no linux-generic [17:27] Spenser309, im sorry again! probably a google should help you out! [17:27] ikonia: im looking for something that runs without gnome [17:27] yellowdog linux sucks [17:27] television sucks [17:27] MeNoS: please stop that attitude [17:27] sudoubungu: please stop that attitude [17:28] what attitude man ?? [17:28] anyone know of a decent osx style icon set for gnome? [17:28] leopard [17:28] MeNoS: This channel is about ubuntu. [17:28] green-_: there are a few on gnome-look [17:28] green-_, heard of mac4lin? [17:28] ikonia since ubuntu 6.06 is still supported why isn't ppc supported here? [17:28] MeNoS: ikonia: me neither, but it is a group of people that are PPC / PS3 hacking fanatics. I might recommend starting with yellow dog, and taking some time to learn how to tweak it. mind that linux is one giant system, and that virtually everything can be mixed and matched. I once completly merged fedora core 6 with ubuntu. weird, but it worked [17:28] for that matter, should i even stick w/ gnome these days? [17:28] kalpik: nope [17:28] th0r: that is supported 7.10 on PS3 - isn't it's got it's own community support [17:28] green-_, check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412086 [17:29] ikonia but 6.06 is supported here...and they offered a ppc distro [17:29] !tell sudoubungu about offtopic [17:29] green-_, http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [17:29] ok im going back to the ck patchset, since this channel isnt helping at all [17:29] th0r yes it is, but he's not using 6.06 and he's using virtualised PS3 - which is not supported [17:29] ikonia , no it isn't supported [17:29] thx for ignoring me [17:29] Hello. I am trying to install barnyard on US7.10...configure for it is complaining that it cannot find the mysqlclient library. Any thoughts? [17:29] Duke_Fluke: ah, i've read the article it links to ... and one of the things it is missing is an icon set... suggests you make your own .. and i don't have the time to sit there putting in icons one at a time :) [17:30] CygnusX1: how are you installing barnyard ? [17:30] geez, someones got a case of the mondays [17:30] ikonia actually, he just asked me if I knew anything about ppc...seems a decent question for a channel that is supposed to support a ppc distro [17:30] Greeny_, ahh sorry didn't know that :) [17:30] ikonia: from source [17:30] hey people.... anyone have any resources for a dual boot installation [17:30] th0r he's been in here from days, which is why I know what he's asking [17:30] CygnusX1 you'll need libmysqlclient from the repo's [17:30] i've been in here for days ?? [17:31] does that means you don't sleep , ikonia ? [17:31] 24/7 ehh ?? [17:31] would the package "hibernate" be a good thing to try if my laptop doesn't properly suspend or hibernate with Ubuntu "out-of-the-box"? [17:31] yes, you've been in and out for days asking about PS3 under the nick menos, arrg and another one [17:31] ikona does not sleep. [17:31] another one ?? [17:31] and which is this another ? [17:31] and i don't know ar or what u speak of [17:31] !enter | MeNoS [17:31] MeNoS: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:31] fair enough [17:31] see now ur accusing me of being someone that i wasn't [17:32] MeNoS: this is offtopic for this support channel === rootuser is now known as rootmr [17:32] adel, the cursor is not moving - just the age i am on scrolls up when i place my mouse over it [17:32] ikonia: I have libmysqlclient15-dev installed [17:32] Hi, everyone. Is there any alternatives for FTP synchronizer like weex that simpler and easy to use? [17:32] CygnusX1 where is your configure script looking for the libs ? [17:32] ikonia , get in ubuntu-powerpc [17:32] sangprabo, what are you trying to do? [17:33] and lets settle this [17:33] CygnusX1 it may also need the native client package [17:33] MeNoS: I am [17:33] since u seem to take this very insulting [17:33] ikonia: /usr/lib (I have also tried manually pointing it at /usr/lib/mysql) [17:33] MeNoS: This channel is too busy for anything but Q&A and there's no room for idle chat / arguments. [17:33] CygnusX1: does it actually want the binary client ? [17:33] CygnusX1: or just the libs [17:33] Duke_Fluke: I just want to update my site, using a synchronizer like... So my local file exactly same with my site [17:33] sangprabo, have you heard of rsync? [17:33] ikonia: The libs as far as I can tell [17:33] CygnusX1, is libmysqlclient15off installed? [17:33] Has anyone here had any luck getting ntp-server working on dapper? [17:33] CygnusX1 can you stick the configure output in a pastebin [17:34] Duke_Fluke: yes, but my hosting doesn't allow ssh [17:34] kompute1: ??? you may have a key stuck on your mouse. have you tried another mouse? also, check your universal access settings, just in case if you get the same behavior with a different mouse. just something that has happened to me when I get weird HID issues [17:34] Seamus, yea, once a long time ago [17:34] I do also have the mysql-client package isntalled [17:34] Duke_Fluke: it only supports FTP [17:34] sangprabo, ahh that sucks [17:34] ikonia: Sure...do you have a preffered bin? [17:34] when is nwe alpha coming? [17:34] !pastebin | CygnusX1 [17:34] CygnusX1: 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) [17:34] CygnusX1: the ubuntu one is good [17:34] Seamus: Should work ok, are you having a specific problem? [17:35] when alpha 4 come? [17:35] smallfoot-: #ubuntu+1 [17:35] usr13: it simply isn't listening on port 123 [17:35] would the package "hibernate" be a good thing to try if my laptop doesn't properly suspend or hibernate with Ubuntu "out-of-the-box"? I really dont think it is an Ubuntu issue. I think it is a cheapo hacked up oem bios issue...When it suspends, it does so for maybe 1 second, then wakes itself up. When it hibernates it taked over 90 seconds and then on resume, it does a ful boot, not resume. [17:35] Can anyone help me fix my panel applets in gutsy [17:35] sangprabo: when god gives you lemons, you GET A NEW GOD! a good hosting serve should give ssh service to your servers [17:35] I think it runs udp by default. Are you having your clients make requests via udp? [17:35] gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i waited 37 dayssuper duper cuper nuper uper ruper urber lurker narder karkar nerger hot!! [17:36] sangprabo: serve/service [17:36] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53871/ [17:36] sudoubungu: just ask your questions simpley and clearly [17:36] usr13: how can I determine that? I'm using an ubuntu client [17:36] sudoubungu: there is no need for the other noise [17:36] CygnusX1: got it [17:36] connect irc.mozilla.org [17:36] ikonia what other noise? [17:37] WorkingOnWise: I might recommend reading up on the forums about the benifits of that package with your particular system [17:37] sudoubungu: 37 dayssuper duper cuper nuper uper ruper urber lurker narder karkar nerger [17:37] CygnusX1: thats very odd, one moment [17:37] I cant add any applets to my panel in gutsy anymore does anyone know how to repair this? [17:37] adelie: So, what is your suggestion? I think, change my hosting is not a solution.. [17:37] Seamus: -u Direct ntpdate to use an unprivileged port for outgoing packets. [17:37] ikonia> are you a girl? [17:37] Hey all, I custom-compiled my kernel to support a wireless card, now I'm missing the capability module for my ftp server, does anyone know if there is a way to install the capability module without recompiing the kernel?

[17:38] Duke_Fluke: I just want to know if there is a more powerful tool than weex... [17:39] sangprabo, ah i see well that would be rsync [17:39] how do i find out which version of a program im using? [17:39] ikonia: I have no idea...where can I look for that? [17:39] CygnusX1: just looking now [17:39] apt-cache [17:39] Duke_Fluke: So, there is no "FTP Synchronizer"-like, isn't it?

[17:41] adelie: what is ftpuse? Is it a tool? [17:41] ikonia: Is that what changed recently in mysql that broke a lot of things? [17:41] how do i find out which version of a program im using? anyone know? [17:42] CygnusX1: it looks like that was a legacy function that got removed from earlier mysql 4 functions [17:42] fotoflo: aptname -v or aptname --version [17:42] fotoflo: if it's a graphical app then usually help menu/ about [17:42] is it bad to use "restricted drivers" for my Broadcom built-in wireless card [17:42] sangprabo: it is an extension to fuse that lets mount support ftp as a filesystem type like ext3 or ntfs and mount it [17:42] some help installing amsn [17:42] if it's a console app then usually --version [17:42] shift1: morally, yes. practically, no. [17:42] sangprabo: rsync is a tool for synchronizing directories [17:42] used grub. my windows was fucked up but i could still into ubuntu. a few days later i installed all the uptades i could. restarted and all of sudden it couldnt open my user. later on i ve tried to reboot from the ubuntu cd and windows cd nut no way, i end up all the time at the grub and the installed ubuntu doesnt even work anymore. any idea what can i do?? thx a lot [17:42] fotoflo: Many gui apps have a Help option that includes "About" which has version numbers as standard info. [17:43] CygnusX1: does that make sense now [17:43] Hey guys, somehow or another I wound up with multiple xchat icons in the status toolbar. Tight clicking on them does not work,, is the only way to reset the gnome toolbar by resetting x? [17:43] i mean can it mess up my system, or really ruin how ubutnu runs like the "pop-up" claims?

Any advice on how to get started figuring out how to do this? [17:44] adelie: Hm.. I think I lost my head. I will try to simplify my question. What is "FTP synchronizer"-like in Ubuntu/Linux except weex? [17:44] shift1: the drivers are given as binary by third-party manufacturers. therefore, we don't know what they will do. [17:44] you don't need emule, better use amule [17:44] Hello. I am trying to find help on getting my Belkin G USB wireless adapter to work with Linux (Ubuntu) which I have recently installed on my desktop computer. Does anybody know any articles on ubuntu.com or other sites that'll help me get my USB wireless adapter working with Ubuntu. Cheers [17:44] hi all [17:44] hi elwo0d [17:44] how can i make it so i dont have to use password to sign-in to ubuntu every time i login, right now im logging in as "home" is that the higest user? it wont let me login as root.. or if you can how do you do that? [17:44] !wireless | bastones [17:44] bastones: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:44] shift1: if you don't know how to login as root - you shouldn't be doing it [17:44] levander... better use amule [17:44] shift1: for your own saftey [17:44] uhuh [17:45] demonio: amule is broken, the developers are in #amule, they told me to build from svn snapshots available on their web site. Those snapshots don't build. amule developers are just wasting people's time with their software. [17:45] shift1: Yes you can implement passwordless login. [17:45] sangprabo: Oh, if that is a package, then I don't know other than what I can assume from the name. sorry [17:45] shift1: there is absolutely no need to login as root. if you need to run a command as root, prefix it with 'sudo'. [17:45] okay well, how can i make it so "home" does not keep asking for a password each time i boot, or every time i try to install an app. [17:45] "This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg package.

[17:47] demonio: why do you NEED it [17:47] oh okay [17:47] thats fine then [17:47] shift1: Not a good idea to remove password.

[17:47] how do i get compiz-fusion? [17:47] ikonia, already did :) [17:47] demonio: why do you need that amsn version [17:47] ok, sorry [17:47] shift1: removing a password from root would be VERY bad [17:47] Hello everyone [17:48] Jezz: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion [17:48] Jezz: it's installed on ubuntu 7.10 already [17:48] ikonia: it is better [17:48] demonio: why ?

[17:48] no0tic: sorry, missed it [17:48] shift1, thats ok -- autologin's are fine, but keep a password for administration [17:48] shift1: yes [17:48] I want to reinstall my system from scratch and install all the packages I had installed before. How can I do that ? [17:48] ikonia: it has new features and support for web cam [17:48] removing passwords from any user is bad.. [17:48] shift1: If you go to: System -> Administration -> Login Window you can implement passwordless login. [17:48] demonio: the current version has web cam support [17:48] wjohnd, how did you change the video driver? [17:48] do i need to enable it? [17:49] Jezz: yes, [17:49] ikonia: yes. but it does not work very well [17:49] shift1: goto System menu / Administration / Login Window and select the users tab, from there you can select a user to auto-login. [17:49] i was running from the hd and used the driver settings [17:49] If you remove a password of a regular user, people could still connect to your box with that user. might now have root access, but enough to get it.

A few days ago we unpluged it so we could move it to a new room and the pwoer supply stoped working, we replaced it (With a better one), and now the PC won't start at all, every part of it boots, but the rest won't work. >.> I had jsut finished installing ubuntu 7.1 a couple of day's before this, and I have no idea what's wrong.

[17:58] hey guys, im trying to change permissions for a folder inside my ntfs partition, but when i change it in the properties it immediately changes back, any ideas? [17:58] altra22: Put your mouse cursor on the bar-graph-icon and see what it says. [17:58] unop__: yes it does, you just can't access it from the local machine. it is for microsoft administrative purposes only [17:58] altra22: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:59] ikonia: the problem is not with the autopackage [17:59] xenthro, ntfs doesn't understand permissions [17:59] demonio: how do you know ? [17:59] demonio, if you use autopackage you are only creating problems [17:59] adelie, you mean the SYSTEM user or the Administrator user? because "root" isnt a valid user [17:59] iam on win-xp now !! it show that it trying to connect but no connect [17:59] don't use autopackage or don't ask for support in here, it's rather simple :) [17:59] ikonia: the problem is with the tcl build directory, it exist, but during the compilation the error says that it does not exist [17:59] demonio: how do you know thats not autopackage - [17:59] altra22: Win-XP ? [18:00] Yes because no connection in my ubuntu [18:00] ikonia: 'cuz i use the aptitude install command [18:00] demonio: aptitude doesn't compile software [18:00] altra22: Did you click on the icon? [18:00] I am trying to install a game with wine onto my ntfs partition but the installer halts and tells me that I do not have permission to write to the drive... how do i get around this? [18:00] unop_, Thanks u very much today u have solved my major problem [18:00] unop__: SYSTEM is a super user that can do MOST administrative tasks. the 'tools' that can only be used by 'root' are encrypted and can only be decrypted with a key that microsoft keeps [18:00] xenthro, install on a non-ntfs drive :) [18:01] yes [18:01] Seveas that is not an option [18:01] altra22: When you click on the icon, does it show the essid of your router? [18:01] adelie, errm .. ok :) [18:01] rama_8086, ye [18:01] adelie: It is why sometimes windows updates runs even when updates has been disabled [18:01] xenthro, then mount the drive with correct mount options so you can write to it [18:01] err. yw [18:01] under System > Administration > Users and Groups when you to go PROPERTIES for "root" for USER PRIVILEGES are all the boxes suppose to be checked or unchecked? because for me they are unchecked, and i wanted to make sure everything is the way its suppose to be. [18:01] it show me the router but i can't connect i tried manual config but also no connection [18:02] altra22: Did you try restarting the network?: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:02] ikonia: thank you... i will try by another way [18:02] altra22: Does your router use encrypted authentication? [18:02] shift1: not checked on mine [18:02] No :) i didn't try to reset and i disabled the security [18:03] altra22: What is the essid of your router? [18:03] unop__: you would need to have auditing service running to know when it is happening or that 'root' has changed something, but this is generally an automated task, not like a microsoft employee logging directly into your individual machine [18:03] SIEMENS-xxxxx [18:03] SIEMENS-XXX and numbers :) [18:04] altra22: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SIEMENS-xxxxx [18:04] altra22: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:04] Linux dell 2.6.24-3-generic #1 SMP ? what the SMP after the kernal version?

[18:33] ok gonna go try that sudo thing [18:33] JFactor: Then if there's no errors, there's no problem.... [18:34] But there is a problem [18:34] mcisbackuk: ... it may not have pixel shaders, but provide 3d acceleration [18:34] crdlb: I know, but because of limitations on these chipsets, 3d support is pretty useless anyway, it can't hold it's own. [18:35] mcisbackuk: it's enough for compiz :) [18:35] so not entirely useless [18:35] mcisbackuk: stealthy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512691 are you perchance using ubuntu 64-bit edition?

I have also managed to locate xorg.conf as well [18:37] crdlb: what is has allows it to run, which is different than lowering your desktop footprint by offloading your desktop to your graphics card. compiz with software rendering defeats the purpose of switching to compiz unless the purpose was eye candy [18:37] shift1: Not really.....

[18:47] what command do i need to issue for mencoder to strip the audio from a video file [18:47] I'm a bit confused.

[18:56] Skrux: well it works for me, [18:56] bastones: if getting a different wireless adapter is not an option, then sorry to say you would most likely your best option is switching back to windows. However, if part of your reason for using ubuntu is because you value your freedom and right to privacy, I highly recommend using windows 2000, as it doesn't have all the back doors of xp or vista [18:56] altra22: Are you sure you are not connected?

[19:10] debaser_: Is / are your hard drive(s) IDE or ISA or SATA? [19:10] jughead: filezilla or gftp are FTP programs which let you download and upload from web server [19:10] brobostigon ? [19:10] usr13, IDE [19:11] debaser_: Sure, if you change out the hard drive, it will boot what ever's on them. [19:11] bastones: use system > administration > network to set up the options. are you using encryption? [19:11] ok thanks bod_ and ejer [19:11] did you copy all the contents of the cd in a directory and executed the .exe with wine only ? [19:11] ok thanks usr13 [19:11] jughead, no probs [19:11] hi i have a problem with my sound.. there is a red X on top of the speaker icon [19:11] but tell me usr13 how can i boot from ubuntu again? how will dual boot work?

[19:12] hmm it seems nobody ever updates his version with update-manager ? [19:12] pyrops: Un-mute it. [19:12] pyrops, means your sound is either not configured or muted [19:12] what I have done is: created 2x 25gb partitions. One for XP, which is installed and running fine. Now I've started Ubuntu Live and selected the Partition with ext3 file system and now it says Mount Point, what do I select? [19:12] usr13, if i do that will i still be able to boot to ubuntu [19:12] I cant install Flash running Gutsy on 64bit.. I was told I need to edit the postinst file under the control.tar.gz file but im having problems re-adding it to the archive.. HELP! :) [19:12] DRebellion: I am using an older version of Ubuntu which I'll update later on... is it the same one by going to sys configuration (under Computer) then Networking or Computer>network? [19:12] debaser_: If you do what? [19:13] rrittenhouse, no you dont,.pm il walk you through it [19:13] its not muted, it mentions that there is something wrong with the GStream ?? [19:13] brunner: still there? [19:13] WillOne: if you want your Ubuntu system to reside in just one partition (likely if you are a newbie), choose / as mountpoint. [19:13] usr13, if i change the slave hard disk to the master and vice versa [19:13] cosmodad, I wanted a dual boot and yeah, I'm a newbie. [19:13] bastones: i recommend you update to the latest ubuntu before trying anything as it may fix your problem to get the latest drivers etc. [19:13] debaser_: No, if you change from slave to master or from master to slave it will NOT work. [19:13] cosmodad: you always need / and swap, so always two partitions. [19:13] bod_: i would just take splash out of grub options for easy fix [19:14] brobostigon: yeah sure [19:14] okay ill do that now and get back to you... thanks [19:14] personally I've always felt that /home should be split off on a desktop machine [19:14] brobostigon: well technically you don't need swap [19:14] usr13, then there is no way that i can use both os now? [19:14] rrittenhouse: a very simple solution, though not ideal, is to install kvm to give yourself a vitrual 32 bit enviroment [19:14] debaser_: If your computer will boot slave or master, you can change bios settings to boot one or the other. [19:14] WillOne: see what brobostigon says: one more for swap is advisable too [19:14] and var as well on a server [19:14] rrittenhouse: what error are you getting? [19:14] my compiz wont start after I install this startup manager and change my startup logo [19:14] usr13, ok i understand [19:14] I don't know what that is :( [19:15] I'm a real newbie. [19:15] ejer, If i try and install flash it just dosent "work" [19:15] Bruners: you still there? [19:15] debaser_: Linux will boot from slave or master. MS Windows will only boot from master, (unless you have bios that will boot slave) [19:15] WillOne: unless already done, you should create another partition for swap space. And choose the big space for / as I said. [19:15] usr13; apparantly i need to install GStream plugins [19:15] rrittenhouse: this is a known bug... what info are you using to fix it [19:15] are there any opensource drivers for ati cards better than the ati drivers? [19:15] how might that be done? [19:15] usr13, how do i find out if i have that kind of bios? [19:15] What can I do to maximize battery life on a laptop? Would using something like XFCE help conserve battery life? [19:15] What application do you recommend to burn CD's and DVD's? [19:16] WillOne: swap space is hard-disk space used for paging when running out of RAM. Windows does something similar but uses a file instead of an entire partition. [19:16] debaser_: you can boot windows from grub [19:16] ejer, but i want the loading bars [19:16] anybody have driver for v-gear webcam [19:16] WillOne: just create another partition and type it as swap space.

[22:08] ejer, oh I use postgresql for work related things. to each his own [22:08] iKap: as it says on the page sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will install everything [22:08] okay thank u [22:08] Brandon_: you can of course choose postgres depending on your needs [22:09] And what takes 5 releases? If I tried to put debian names to things it would be experimental = hardy unstable = gutsy testing = feisty stable = edgy and oldstable = dapper [22:09] debian does things differently, nice we have choice right? [22:09] brobostigon, hey: i have an idea of how use a cluster: create a super neural network XD [22:09] That would mean on ubuntu`s site the default download should be dapper? [22:09] ejer: it worked!! thanks.. i was able to send and rcv!..... btw.. is it possible to sync evolution to a nokia phone?? [22:09] ejer, no I just need php to work. I set up a whole server and forgot to install it. When I did apt-get install php5 and it installed the php function doesn't work.

[22:11] see installing lamp does all this, so that is why it was first thing I mentioned [22:11] a2enmod [22:11] is it possible to sync nokia phone with evolution [22:12] Hmm it looks like the main site has dapper or edgy to download [22:12] ejer, i got some weird message in terminal can you send me link to the log pasting place agian.. [22:12] I am on Ubuntu and I am trying to connect to a Windows Network. Could someone show me this process? Help is much appreciated. [22:12] Gokee2_Dlap: ubuntu has two kinds of releases.. LST = long time support.. a stable version.. nothing changes unless it's due to security flaws etc.. the normal versions (a new one comes out every 6 months I think).. the last LST is... dapper I think.. the latest normal version is gutsy [22:12] I wonder how this computer got feisty then [22:12] ejer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53918/ [22:12] Gokee2_Dlap: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [22:13] simps: you need to installa samba for used windows network with ubuntu [22:13] iKap: you can safely ignore stuff like this unless something is not working, and you can choose the default most times if asked something [22:13] ejer, says php5 is already enabled. So did I jsut have to reboot [22:13] ejer, i only have option to hit "ok" [22:13] So only LST`s are stable? [22:14] alfermp: alright. i have samba [22:14] i'm not too sure how to use it though [22:14] lol samba question...how the hell do I start it? [22:14] How do i change language in my openoffice from english to swedish? [22:14] iKap: so not a big decision :) [22:14] I could need some help ... Can anybody tell me who I can download a IDE for turbo pascal ? [22:14] Brandon_: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload [22:14] ejer, I just did a reboot [22:15] So a "normal" user (like a small office) that needs a stable system should only use long term releases? [22:15] ejer, oh okay lol taking your word on it and hit okay. i just didnt quite understand what that was and if it was/would interfere with anything. [22:15] can u see the windows computer simps? [22:15] hey guys, I have a slightly odd question... [22:15] ejer, its also installing some java stuff lol is that normal? [22:15] nope, alfermp [22:15] * tehdave takes a number for the Samba help -_- [22:16] with kde 4 how to you open the dashboard? === Asgeir is now known as lille_ven [22:16] can I install Ubuntu onto a External USB hard drive(500GB) and have it behave like it's a internal drive? [22:16] So the "normal" 6 month releases are for people who feel like testing newer stuff out? [22:16] !who | Gokee2_Dlap [22:16] Gokee2_Dlap: 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 :) [22:16] ejer, nvm it worked, thanks man. [22:17] simps: you need to ad the same user (ubuntu) and the windows computer [22:17] kewl [22:17] Slart, Hmm I had several people why commented on releases I was asking any of them [22:17] alfermp: how would i do that? :P [22:17] i guess your answer is 'yes' Gokee2 [22:18] example: u user in ubuntu is simps and pass simps1 goto you win computer and add the same user simp with the same pass [22:19] Gokee2_Dlap: ok.. I'll take a shot at explaining it.. the LST-releases are made for companies and such that need a version that will not change behaviour.. so all scripts that work now will work next month.. the settings for gnome won't change etc etc.. so they can have a stable computer enviroment.. if you don't need that kind of stability, go for the normal versions [22:19] It seems that once a 'small user' got a sytem up and running with apps that did the job, would not need to 'upgrade' unless something in the office setup was changed. [22:19] i used xrrandr to get dual monitors working, but my monitors are of different resolutions. Now I can move my mouse off-screen (because the virtual screen is rectangular). Is there a way to fix this? [22:19] alfermp: add it on the windows comp to where? [22:19] Q: im trying to free up space on my install... what would help is a file manager that can display folder size in mb and not items. does one exist? [22:19] Start>Control Panel? Users simps [22:19] xenthro: command line, or GUI? [22:19] PaulButler doesnt matter [22:20] xenthro: "ls -hl" will show file sizes in whatever unit makes the most sense [22:20] with kde 4 how do you open the dashboard?

[22:20] alfermp: ok, well i use the same username and password for both windows and ubuntu [22:21] Slart, Ok, what about for a home user (that has a guy install it for him and maintain it (me)) but does not want to put up with any problems. I am guessing he should have a LST release? [22:21] is there a way to remove everything (completely) that was installed by 'apt-get build-dep openssh' [22:21] ok simps [22:21] xenthro: applications>accessories>file usage calculator [22:21] Gokee2_Dlap: problem is a new LTS is about to be released [22:21] Gokee2_Dlap: right now I'd say go with gutsy.. a lot of things have improved since the latest LST.. wireless, drivers and such [22:21] ejer, That would be hardy? [22:22] yes [22:22] ejer ahh perfect. thank you [22:22] ejer [22:22] with kde 4 how do you open the dashboard? [22:22] I need help mounting my sansa e250r, i messed with the mount point, and now it won't remount. How do i recover it? [22:22] i am popular :) [22:22] do you have time for a quick question? [22:22] Gokee2_Dlap: you'll be missing out on a lot of the good stuff if you go with the LST.. and there will be fewer people that can help you [22:22] !ask [22:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

This is crazy. You're telling me that I can just decide one day that I want to look at the source code to Amarok/XMMS/whatever and change things and then rerelease it as "TuxMP3" or something? Why? How do you feed yourselves? Your family? Why release things under the "General Public License"? I've been trying to sell software all my life, and no one buys it. And what's the point? Surely you are smart enough to know that if you t [22:25] ook "The GIMP" fancied it up, added a few new features, put a 'real' license on it and called it GIMP 3, you'd be a big competitor with Adobe. I want to know what the point is of writing software if you don't profit. [22:25] XRonS: the point? I think you are running it :) [22:25] when Is tart my computer, running xubuntu 7.10, it never loads into the correct resolution for my monitor, and I always have to change the resolution and the refresh rate... how can I force X to load with the correct config?

[22:26] Slart: yeah thats what I was saying, wait till hardy [22:26] ctrl+alt+bkspace does nothing [22:26] sexy: ctrl-alt-f1 [22:26] Exteris: X loads with the wrong configuration, and I have to change it manually when X loads. [22:26] XRonS, if you did that you would also need to provide the source code for your new gimp that someone else could hen provide for free (a least as I understand it) [22:26] see if you get a terminal [22:26] is the current edition of ubuntu gutsy? [22:26] if someone answered my question, i'm sorry i missed it. if not, here it is: i just got a new monitor, and ubuntu isn't giving me resolution options, just 640x480. how do i get it to bbehave? [22:27] then* [22:27] JohnMM: yes [22:27] Slart, ok thanks [22:27] alfermp: under system->administration->shared folders->general properties, it mentions something about WINS server, is that important to fill in?

I am upgrading a few PowerMac G4s to leopard, and want to dual boot with Ubuntu. Does 7.10 have a ppc port? I have the choice of upgrading or installing from scratch. What would be the simplest method for partitioning? Should I install Ubuntu first, or install leopard and then resize to fit Ubuntu on? [22:32] killaz, You're sure? [22:32] Exteris, what does that do? [22:32] hi. I have downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu and I apparently have to copy it and then burn it onto the CD. It is a .iso extsn, do I simply copy / burn it and then use that CD to install Ubuntu on to my computer? [22:32] bastones, you can burn an iso directly to disk, it's a binary representation of the disk [22:32] killaz, Just noticed 'edgy eft' [22:33] goofeedude: get a 2nd disk and spare yourself some headache! [22:33] that's wwhy it's called a 'disk image' [22:33] Exteris, thanks. Burning now [22:33] Do I copy first then burn it? [22:33] well I have it enabled in the Synaptic Manager and in the /etc/apt/sources.list I have universe [22:33] anyone else have the problem in 7.10 with their dock icons in the panel showing up in random spots on login? [22:33] darkblue_B: thanks for the advice, although unfortunately this is a lab at school, and we can't add hardware :-( [22:33] bastones, not burn it as a file on disk [22:33] Now onto my next question startup time... Ubuntu takes a lot longer then Windows XP to start up. Is there a way to make Ubuntu boot faster? [22:33] the file 'is' the disk [22:34] If it's too much trouble to dual boot, we can just reserve some complete machines for Linux. [22:34] I'm back [22:34] But dual-boting might be nice :-) [22:34] Q: my /usr/share/doc dir, is that only for man paged? [22:34] spdf: why edgy eft doesnt have filezilla in its repositry?

[22:46] Gokee2_Dlap: make cups not start at boot up (I'm not sure how to do it).. add a script or something to Preferences, Sessions that starts cups.. [22:46] not an applet, something for the desktop [22:46] a simple list kind of thing [22:47] [22:47] how could i download this ::: worldofpadman.run [22:47] Umm [22:47] Slart, cups needs to start as root though right?

[22:48] anyone know why my X sessions might refuse to be killed? e.g.: "xinit: Can't kill server" [22:48] Gokee2_Dlap: but before you do all this.. try to find out if cups really is taking enough time that it's worth the effort [22:48] hey, I have a usb drive that has a hidden partition on it that I cant delete or reformat. Gparted only shows the part of the drive that doesnt have the autorun software on it. What should I do?

[23:13] Jack_Sparrow: aye, thanks for the tip. [23:13] np [23:13] newbie: Yes you can, but I need to ask what you are trying to do or install [23:13] newbie: hmm.. text files aren't supposed to be executable under normal circumstances.. what kind of text file is it? what is the name? [23:13] iKap: when I turned on computer, it automatically just opening the 4.1 version I installed originally of Ubuntu and not the installation CD in the CD slot :S [23:14] Does Anyone know how I can use my s-video output in gutsy, I have a Hp DV9000 laptop with Nvidia 6150 card. [23:14] Hi, can anyone help with a nvidia 8600gt problem and Gutsy 7.10, basically im trying to use the 64 bit version, i cant load the live cd, just hangs and my screen goes black, i can install on using the alt cd but when i try to boot Ubuntu after GRUB my sreen turns off, i tried the nosplash thing but this time it gets to "*loading local scripts...." or something like, the screen falshes a few times then goes blank but sta [23:14] newbie: if you really want to make it executable do this "chmod a+x yourfilename" [23:14] Slart: yeah I brought it out because I am setting up another ubuntu box as a router for my house but wanted to do a trial run that wouldnt affect the network before I got into it, so basically it still is like new [23:15] bastones, hrmm thats very odd nothing came up at all? are you sure you burned the disc write?because only thing i can think of right now is that there is something wrong with the disc.. [23:15] right*** [23:15] Does Anyone know how I can use my s-video output in gutsy, I have a Hp DV9000 laptop with Nvidia 6150 card. [23:15] I checked when ubuntu 4.1 came on that the .iso file IS on the CD but I double click it and it just puts it in Read Mode where I'd see all the files [23:15] bastones, because regardless of which o/s you have installed.. the ubuntu liveCD/install options should come up. [23:15] cpk1: I haven't really done networking like that.. without a switch... can't imagen what could go wrong apart from the ip/netmask thingy [23:16] ^ [23:16] JFactor: Please dont repeat quite so often, especially every 3 or 4 lines... This is a busy place, we see your question [23:16] Ok sry [23:16] bastones, well did you burn the iso as an image? [23:16] hey, shared folder's ubuntu doesn't appear on windows, how can i fix it? [23:16] bastones, dont get me wrong haha but have you burned a working iso disc before? [23:16] hello [23:17] Hey guys, can you lead me to a page that explains how to setup a dual boot scenario (windows xp) if I already have Gutsy installed? [23:17] juan [23:17] Yes dbmoodb. [23:17] Wow... I have to say this is a first: I'm not being forced to boot into Windows just to get anything done. Started up Ubuntu today and nothing works... Can't login to my bank website, can't play music, can't launch several apps (they all crash). What the hell happened to Ubuntu? It's been going downhill for me the past month or so... [23:17] juanbond: Read up on grub for a start [23:17] that is always a pain [23:17] !grub > juanbond [23:17] juanbond, read on grub [23:17] I mean I "AM" being forced to login to Windows. [23:17] u should check it on forum first dude [23:17] yes, but partition first [23:18] oh and any reason why you cannot use virtualbox ? [23:18] how do i record the audio output from my sound card in gutsy gibbon? i have an alc268 sound card. [23:18] iKap: I copied the CD to the writable disc and Windows wizard put the .iso file on the CD. Not sure if I did it correct or what. Fortunately I have one more CD that I can use incase I do it wrong the first time, which seems more apparent I did. [23:18] juanbond, or you can just create it a ntfs partition [23:18] hi, is there something similar to TortoiseSVN on linux [23:18] juanbond, didn't detect it when you installed Gutsy? [23:18] hey guys how is the free implementation of flash i cant seem to install flash plugin [23:18] - not good mohbana [23:18] !flashissues > mohbana [23:19] doesn't work on a lot of sites [23:19] bastones, yes because if the iso is not burned the way its suppose to be burned, regardless of its on the cd.. it will not do you any good as a boot disc, it will just hold the file for no reason lol which is kind of a waste. [23:19] - isn't the flash thing fixed yet ? [23:19] dbmoodb: you checked the topic.. right? [23:19] bastones, are you currently on Xp? [23:19] yes just then - i assumed it would be fixed [23:19] i use virtualbox right now, but i need to start doing more intensive development where i need a dedicated windows machine. [23:19] iKap: yes, I am using my XP laptop to burn the file to CD, etc [23:20] bastones, and what program are you using to burn the disc agian.. did you say windows wizard? [23:20] again* [23:20] bastones: You do not burn the file to a cd, you burn it as an image.. subtle difference [23:20] anyone know when we can expect a fix [23:20] how would I do that? :P I'm very new to this stuff, so need a heads up [23:21] mohbana, fix for what? [23:21] bastones: isorecorder is freeware that burns iso's very nicely [23:21] i mean an official fix to the tar corrupt message [23:21] mohbana, for flash? [23:22] mohbana: No one knows [23:22] hey all, is there a way to use the ubuntu livecd to benchmark the CPU and GPU of a pc? [23:22] can't some one just ask adobe if ubuntu can store it in their area somewhere [23:22] anyone know how to remove a write-protected, hidden partition from a usb pen drive? [23:22] dbmoodb, are you having trouble with flash? [23:22] dbmoodb: Please take the discussion to !ot [23:22] btw does the 7.10 livecd work with nvidia card - i have had no luck with a laptop here [23:22] - no i'm not ikap [23:23] !ot === BedMan_ is now known as BedMan [23:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[23:26] what does that mean [23:26] wittyphotons: have you tried audacity? [23:26] JFactor: It means you should have a pm from the bot..

[23:32] hello [23:32] seko_kau: Yes the 9550 works... for look into fglrx [23:33] cowbud, not sure why it does it but you could write a script to perform that command everytime you boot [23:33] i don t find an equivalent at apt-get source with aptitude thanks ?

[23:37] Billybob: it's a daemon, it doesn't have a graphical interface. you can configure it in /etc/pureftp[something] [23:37] bod_: If you do it right, it should show up in the top bar of gimp, and it should appear larger [23:37] and you can reload the configuration with /etc/init.d/pureftpd reload [23:37] Jack_Sparrow, omg it just worked,.,. ggggrrrrr,.,. sorry for ur wasted time,. cheers dude [23:37] np [23:38] brodie: ok, i'll have a look...

[23:48] yeah..I restarted it using sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [23:49] DOOM_NX, best - depends on what you are doing [23:49] DOOM_NX, tar + gzip [23:49] and the data.. and how you define best. :) Best size, best speed, best other features [23:49] smallest size [23:49] or bzip2 instead of gzip [23:49] and when I enter http://127.0.0.1/ it says the not found. [23:49] DOOM_NX: gzip compresses more quickly, bzip2 compresses more slowly but with a higher ratio [23:49] lzma is recommended instead of either. [23:49] id say learn the ins and outs of gzip and bzip2 for linux ussage. [23:50] and tar [23:50] does ubuntu have the shortcut like widgets on desktop (i dont know what to call it).. like in MAC system...

But cannot see difference between those two commands..? [23:54] 'whereis kate' [23:54] andreas - whereis kate would work [23:54] or 'locate kate' [23:54] Does anyone here know anything about using unetbootin from win98? It doesn't seem to be editing my config.sys file. Should I use the config.sup file that I found in the bzr source tree? [23:54] or 'which kate' [23:54] thx [23:54] This might sound like a stupid question but someone has recommended a dell pc with ubuntu on it so if I went for this would I still be able to run iTunes & MSN and also sync my ipod? [23:54] Francis: sortof [23:55] Can I get an expert opinion on upgrading to 7.10? With Fedora, I found nothing but anger and punishment with every new release. [23:55] velko: haha, just as I was about to ask you another question a reboot confirmation dialog from some updates popped up as I was pressing enter... [23:55] you wouldn't use itunes or msn, but alternate programs with similar function [23:55] Francis: pidgin in placeof msn for example, gtkpod or amarok in place of itunes [23:55] dkbg, :-) === dani is now known as pepeland [23:55] velko: it was amazing timing [23:55] y_, i have found it better to just keep ./home on its own partition, and do clean installs. :) But im only on a 2 user system here. [23:55] is ark for Kubuntu? [23:55] also, if you have an ipod, you should check out rockbox, it's MUCH better than the apple firmware [23:56] I don't suppose there a plugin for pidgin which displays your Ubuntu version next to your name like *ME* ~ Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy etc? [23:56] Daenyth: would I still be able to sync my ipod using one of those programs? [23:56] velko: anyway, wouldn't I have to alter the UIDs on all files owned by my user or something? [23:56] Dr_willis -- that's handy, except I'm running a 20 computer ubuntu lab =( [23:56] Francis - I second Daenyth on those programs. Improvement in stability too! [23:56] Daenyth: I have found Rockbox to most enjoyable, but not for the faint of heart [23:56] really> === wirechief is now known as wirechief4 [23:56] identify silvermachine4 [23:56] I found it to be extremely painless [23:56] * Daenyth shrugs [23:56] y_, you may want to look into netbooting the other 20 machines. [23:56] It's been painless for me, but I know how it works a little better than someone who uses itunes to sync it [23:56] mcisbackuk: i'm sure pidgin is python extensible. you can do that yourself [23:57] So would Rockbox sync to my touch? [23:57] dkbg, if you change the uid for your user, the files wont belong to him after that. you'll have to chmod -R /home/myuser to regain ownership [23:57] Francis: you can of course always dual boot linux and windows if you really need windows programs [23:57] Dr_willis: Yep, its already set up like that (albeit in a strange way). [23:57] velko: ok, thought so [23:57] Francis: rockbox doesn't sync ipods, it's a replacement for the ipod firmware, the stuff running ON the ipod [23:57] y_, depending on your needs. :) Many people have no issues upgrading. I like to see how the new 'releases' are by default since i hang in the tech support channel. [23:57] it's much better [23:57] jeffMASTERflex: OK thanx [23:57] Francis: check out their site [23:57] Oh right [23:57] is ark only for decompression? i can't find how to compress with it... [23:57] dkbg, sorry chown, not chmod of course [23:57] so, anyone have any clue about unetbootin? [23:57] Could anyone help me getting my video drivers installed/working. It's an ATI card and everything I've tried ends up with the mesa ogl renderer. [23:58] Dr_willis -- netboot will upgrade all clients? [23:58] velko: seems like a pretty important thing to point out but maybe I just have too many gaps in my knowledge, yeah chown [23:58] or is there a unetbootin irc channel? [23:58] y_, well im refering to where the machines boot up and get all the info from the server. the clients dont even have hd;s :) [23:58] velko: I guess the -R option means recursive, ok thanks a lot [23:58] dkbg, yep [23:58] Daenyth - I started out like that with a dual boot machine. I have just about weened myself off MS Windows now and cannot remember last time I booted into Windows XP. It is still there but haven't used it in months. Now if ever I DO boot into it I have to spend ages doing 'updates'. [23:59] be very careful with -R to never spcify .*, as that will also nail everything ABOVE where you are (matches '..') [23:59] Dr_willis -- my clients have hardrives and are connected by wireless.... its somewhat laggy doing that (but that's how they are set up now) [23:59] martyn: one time windows pissed me off too much so I formatted and spent a week installing slackware [23:59] y_, Most of the time for upgradeissues. it tends to be wireless/video/other hardware driver issues. - so Wireless may be an issue. dependong onthe hardware. [23:59] it only took me 8 tries to get a working kernel compiled [23:59] :D [23:59] velko: actually, should I change the GID as well to match the new UID or does that not matter? [23:59] Daenyth, the way I've been recommended is a Dell PC with Ubuntu pre-installed, so will any of those programs syn my ipod touch from the ubuntu os as im assuming there will be no windows to dual boot === Ttech[enfr] is now known as ttech [23:59] Dr_willis -- it gets a little intense when everyone is on the network. That's why I want "not-so-thin" clients. =) [23:59] y_, there may be better ways do handle it all. but as i said. ive rarely had to mess with upgrading.
