I have 2 ntfs partitions and then a free space partition. Is the FREE SPACE partition the one that i install on?????? [00:06] machee: are you sure that you're using the right cases? [00:06] here is something else I need ask, I also hooked up a zip drive to my server ( so I can back up to the zip drive ) is there a way to check to see if its working ?? [00:06] oh, a tv resolution... [00:06] xD [00:06] GewoonM2: I want to record the stream [00:06] Donkey718666: it probably is [00:06] Starnestommy: positive [00:06] kellis - if your still her go into vista and see what driver ms is using for the touchpad...

[00:13] I've tried setting up a software RAID 5 in both Ubuntu and CentOS, and they both fail while trying to format the RAID. I've tried using ext3 and JFS...any ideas? [00:13] nickrud_, who took your nick,:) [00:13] n0greenfx: seriuosly, ati and linux don't mix [00:13] ati sucks though unfortunately :/ [00:13] Bruno_, i am sorry ,no idea [00:13] icesword: I own both, I'm too lazy to ghost the other [00:13] some im basically screwed on that end huh [00:14] iceword: ok thanks anyway [00:14] anyone else have problems recently with flash vids on youtube.. google vid's fine but on youtube i get no audio.

[00:14] Generalized: do you get all the X errors as well? [00:14] nickrud, hehe :) [00:14] yes [00:14] is there any need to defragment ext3 partitions ? [00:15] dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `postfix' in statoverride file [00:15] i tried deluser postfix [00:15] mad_max02: no need. It handles it on its own [00:15] it says there is no user postfix [00:15] I need help getting my printer to work. I've tried everything I can think of. [00:15] Kuni, :D great. It would take me bout 2-3 days to defragment it :D [00:15] lol [00:15] Looking for how to fix a "No such file or directory" error when trying to run a binary that definitely exists. I'm running 64 bit. Could that matter? [00:16] ext3 keeps itself defragged as much as possible. [00:16] machee: what command are you doing exactly? [00:16] wooohoo! download finally at 100%... now, where are those blank cd's ? [00:16] no need for any extra tools or maintance ? [00:16] machee, you tried chmod +x file [00:16] machee, make sure it's executable (chmod +x) [00:16] mad_max02: nope [00:16] Flannel: ./q3ded in the folder where ti is, and it's definitely got execute permissions [00:16] machee: If your 64 bit, a 32 bit binary might be looking for the wrong libraries. That prints out "no such file". [00:16] hooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaay [00:16] hmmmm what do people consider the "best" linux filesystem at the moment? [00:17] one more plus for linux [00:17] http://paste.uni.cc/18371 [00:17] does anyone have any idea how to fix this [00:17] mad_max02: though I would consider switching to reiserfs [00:17] machee: and `ls -al | grep q3ded` shows it? [00:17] i know ext3 is pretty junky [00:17] Flannel: yes [00:17] Xorothal, why ? [00:17] machee: Mind pasting that line, just for yucks? [00:17] for example if you overwrite parts of a file and your computer fails or reboots, you could corrupt the file [00:17] redf1sh: that makes sense... any way to know what libraries it may be? [00:17] and why is ext3 junky ? [00:17] noolness, you creat a fs yourself,then it is the best [00:17] noolness: No, ext3 is journaled. [00:17] arekkusu14: what kind of printer do you have? Have you tried google-ing: " linux", to check if others have gotten it to work? [00:17] Greetings! [00:17] mad_max02: It's just better (ie too tired to explain) [00:18] Yeah, I'm doing that now. [00:18] Haha [00:18] Flannel: only the inode table is journaled [00:18] Flannel: -rwxrwxrwx 2 q3user q3user 749504 Feb 21 04:41 q3ded === arekkusu14 is now known as AlexKibler [00:18] Generalized: not sure about what I'd do on your system. I'd be willing to do it here, cuz I'd take responsibility for messing with users and groups. Not so sure I'm ready to do that on yours [00:18] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [00:18] machee: I strace things, but I'm a dev. You can probably get it to work by doing an apt-get install ia32-lib* [00:18] Xorothal, I asked much people about file system and whats the best for etc [00:18] matchee that installes 32 bit compatibility libraries [00:18] Xorothal, I got so many diff answers [00:18] whats your idea nickrud [00:18] matchee pretty slick really. [00:19] Xorothal, so I went on and formated in ext3 since I'm most familiar with it [00:19] how do you find the UUID of a drive [00:19] ok [00:19] Generalized, i recommend you try sudo apt-get clean [00:19] !uuid | johndbritton [00:19] johndbritton: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [00:19] mad_max02: it's your choice [00:19] i used ext3 on linux just because it's the default at the moment ;) [00:19] Xorothal, I dont know about other but I'll try to read as much as possible and learn [00:19] redf1sh: i will try that out, thanks! [00:19] Ah, googling shows that not much can be done [00:19] machee: I'm palying quake wars with that, generally works. [00:19] Generalized: add a postfix user and group. But, since I don't have postfix installed here (and have no intention of it) I don't know the correct settings for the user. Things I'd do on my machine that's unorthodox I won't do here for others. [00:19] machee: cheers. [00:19] Xorothal, is there any way to later convert to any other file system from ext3 without formating ? [00:20] can i remove postfix safely? [00:20] i don't know i watch some demo for haiku and their filesystem seems interesting. it's basically the beos filesystem, which means it has cool stuff like search built in and stuff [00:20] Generalized: yes. I'm gonna go have a cigarette, and think a bit [00:20] mad_max02: to reiserfs, no. I created a separate reiserfs partition and copied everything [00:20] redf1sh: gotcha. i'm actually trying to setup a Quake 3 dedicated server, hah [00:20] k [00:20] to do that on linux though you would need to have all new command line tools for a lot of things [00:20] :( [00:20] sheeeeeet [00:21] like the standard find wouldn't be good enough to exploit a more advanced filesystem [00:21] can you imagine how much time I spent on formating over 2TB from NTFS to ext3 [00:21] guys - i got a hardware question ? sorta [00:21] noolness: No I just did my /home partition with cp -avx [00:21] mad_max02: don't worry about it. EXT3 isn't going to destroy your computer or anything if you already installed. [00:21] machee: Check google if that don't work, I'm sure someones had to. [00:21] Nope. Lexmark offers no support for my printer. [00:21] mad_max02: 50GB took me ~30mins [00:22] Kuni, I hope so coz I have a lot of data that needs to be safely tucked away on my HDDs [00:22] yeah ext3 is a working filesystem, there are much better filesystems, but meh [00:22] redf1sh: only thing i've seen on google about it was using linux32 to run the installer.. seems like that did the trick for everyone [00:22] mad_max02: yeah, don't worry. [00:22] redf1sh: let me install it, but then this [00:22] Xorothal, now multiply that with 40 :D [00:22] but if you check out the wiki article it does have a few flaws, but it makes sense since it has to be compatbile with ext2 [00:22] machee: aight. Let me know hwo it goes. [00:22] mad_max02: 2 hours... [00:22] not that bad [00:22] lol [00:22] redf1sh: will do [00:22] anyone knows how to solve an issue with BlueProximity? [00:22] make it 20 :D [00:23] anybody running ubuntu 7.10 on an ASUS P5K-V [00:23] FUGGLY [00:23] mad_max02: ever thought about creating partitions? And trying different filesystems out on them? :P [00:23] mad_max02: ever thought about creating partitions? And trying difbuttent buttems out on them? :P [00:23] mad_max02: sorry, my maths isn't so good at this time of night [00:23] two_bits - ive done everything in that guide, but i still cant get my sound card working [00:23] it still makes sound through the headphone port, but the build in speakers wont work [00:24] mad_max02, slice it up and and slice it up and slice it up again - multiple short segments so as you reboot and it does a file system check you are not down for two days (it does this do multiple sections every 30 or so reboots or if the system has been up for a long time (can't remember the up time number) [00:24] GewoonM2, I didnt have time dude :D [00:24] the site says that the x series ati cards can work but i cant even install the card into my pc [00:24] without ubuntu freaking out [00:25] ompaul, u sure ?? Coz I have 3x500GB one partitioned disks :( [00:25] n0greenfx, what kind of card are you trying to install? [00:25] I get lag on my multiple screen setup after some hours, the only solution is restart X to get it fast again... what can it be ? I never could figure it out [00:25] vistiontek x1550 [00:25] mad_max02, yes it is better for the box and you [00:25] I get lag on my buttiple screen setup after some butt, the only buttion is buttstart X to get it fast again... what can it be ? I never could figure it out [00:25] crappy windows didnt mind [00:25] mad_max02, however that is better than 1T disks [00:25] anyone knows how to solve an issue with BlueProximity? [00:25] Hi. I'm trying to get Cygwin to allow a mapped network drive on windows 2003 machine. I have the entry entered as one would enter any other local drive but rsync just won't find the network drive. Does anyone have any experience with this? [00:25] I hope this puppy wont mind either [00:25] mad_max02, and if it ever scan disked you would have been there for a month [00:26] I've tried setting up a software RAID 5 under both Ubuntu and CentOS and they both fail at formatting. I've tried using both ext3 and JFS. Any ideas? [00:26] mad_max02, do not power it off carelessly and you should get good responses [00:26] :D [00:26] which gtk engine is the fastest? is aurora fast? :) [00:26] which gtk buttgine is the fastest? is aurora fast? :) [00:26] DrBanzai: At which step does it fail? [00:27] someone should really take care of that buttbot. [00:27] kestir I'm installing from scratch, and after I get it all partioned and it goes to format, it gets the root partition formatted, but fails when it tries to do the raid.

I cant find something like wlconfig in the package repository [00:31] Generalized: haven't forgot you, I've been looking at some stuff. I have to go for a while, I'll be active again in about an hour or so [00:31] DrBanzai: If you can get the os on one of the drives, it's just a matter of fdisk'ing the good partition onto the others [00:31] i cant find anything [00:32] i removed postfix [00:32] orphe: From the same client to other machines works fine, so t must be the server ... [00:32] Generalized: the X errors are what give me pause [00:32] mino ifconfig -a to tell you which interface is wireless capable, then iwconfig to verify it [00:32] how do i force a device to always appear at the same device node on restart [00:32] Generalized: but anyway, I'll be back in a while [00:32] edward_: create a udev rule [00:33] anyone knows how to solve an issue with BlueProximity?

[00:34] Heya. I know this is offtopic, but everybody else is dead. :c I am running a VPN and can (obviously) have admin access to the router my server is behind from my client, but when I forward ports and then check them, they look closed. What should I do? [00:34] orphe: I'm sitting on a Gutsy machine I call "client" here. [00:34] ok [00:34] kestir: Ok, but is it difficult to "add" the raid into the system doing it that way? I was hoping to just use the installer... [00:34] look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56910/ [00:35] orphe: Just wanted to make clear that it's not a problem on _my_ side of the connection. [00:35] vlt: with normal configs on the client the x redirection is supposed by default [00:35] kestir: Course...I was only told that the drives are blank...they were used...I think maybe I'll try wiping them all... [00:35] real media with gstreamer..? [00:35] DrBanzai: oh definitely wipe them. [00:35] aeleon-> your server is behind your client? am kind lost on your description [00:36] orphe: What does that mean? [00:36] in that paste i did a cat /proc/bus/input/devices on different startups and thats the result [00:36] joeamined: try getting the codecs from automatix, other than that I don't really know [00:36] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56910/ [00:36] kestir: Okay, I'll do that. Thanks! [00:36] i'n not sure how/what to do about udev [00:36] DrBanzai: the 3 other drives will need to be set to "fd" type in fdisk [00:37] sorry, amenado: my server is behind a router. [00:37] vlt: if you have not played with your default configs on your client side so the file in ~/.ssh/config i think , the redirection works with default parameters and it work [00:37] any ideas vlt? [00:37] kestir: Ok [00:37] edward_-> it is a tuff one, there are tutorials you can find via google.. [00:37] alguien q hable español??

[00:38] orphe: I didn't touch anything. `ssh -X server2 xeyes` for example works perfectly. The same command to server1 fails: "Error: Can't open display:" [00:38] aeleon-> from your client, how are you getting into your router? you are ssh in to the remote router? or is it the local router you are referring to? [00:38] liook: /j #ubuntu-es [00:38] vlt: to be sure make sur when you connect in ssh that the $DISPLAY is setted [00:38] liook: /join #ubuntu-es [00:39] orphe: `echo $DISPLAY` on server1 is empty, while it's "localhost:10.0" on server2 ... [00:39] i have openvpn set up, so I can just browser into my router's settings. [00:39] amenado: ^ [00:39] orphe: xbase-clients is installed on both machines. [00:39] vlt: the variable display should be setup on server one [00:39] aeleon your openvpn tunnenl is between which and which? [00:40] can somebody help? on my laptop, every once in a while my brightness goes all the way down and i have to manually turn it all the way back up [00:40] orphe: But it isn't. Any idea why? [00:40] vlt: export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 [00:40] orphe: I'll try ... [00:40] How do I permanently remove an application, including the settings? apt-get remove --purge does not delete the settings. [00:40] kazol_: which settings? [00:40] amenado: uhh? it's between an xp client here in the UK and an ubuntu server which is one of four behind a router. the other three are my family's pcs. [00:41] Flannel: Just user settings. [00:41] kazol_: Things you've changed (like prferences?) [00:41] oops, by xp i meant vista. sigh. [00:41] Flannel: Yes, aren't they stored in ~? [00:41] kazol_: Those aren't under package management. --purge will remove global settings (in /etc), stuff in ~ is a simple as removing the files/directories/whatever [00:41] aeleon-> you can get from your vista to the ubuntu server okay right? so what else you need connected to? [00:41] Flannel: Ok, thanks, I thought that cmd is supposed to rm everything associated with the app. [00:42] what's the default application for burning CDs in ubuntu? [00:42] how does one type accents in ubuntu? [00:42] My server works fine, I just wanted to open some ports. [00:42] Kuni: like this: é [00:42] I need help enabling midi play back, none of the programs in the repos actually did anything, and there isn't a codec or anything, can someone help me? [00:42] aeleon-> open some ports on which device? [00:42] orphe: Didn't work. $DISPLAY is now "localhost:10.0" but the output of `xeyes` doesn't appear on my screen. [00:42] kazol_: No, just everything associated with the global configs fo the app. It'd be bad if, for instance, your mail stored in your homedir was removed because you removed mail client X, and installed mail client Y [00:42] hi [00:42] Kuni: Right click on the top panel and click on "Add to Panel" [00:42] Quick question - can you ssh into unbuntu desktop or server version only? [00:43] beegz: Yes. [00:43] beegz-> as long as it is running sshd [00:43] beegz: just have to install the sshd [00:43] Well, when I VPN, I use my server's internet. And when I whatismyip.com, I show up as my server's ip, amenado. [00:43] vlt: is X installed on the server [00:43] Kuni: Select "Application Launcher", find "Accessories", and insert "Character Map." [00:43] beegz: The dfference between "server" and "desktop" is just the default packages intsalled. Once installed, there's no difference of capabilities (because you can add/remove whatever) [00:43] Kuni: Whenever you have to type an accent or special character, you could just click on the icon on the top panel. [00:43] thanks - will check in synaptec.... [00:43] amenado: So I 192.168.1.1'd in my browser, and it got me into my router's settings at home, so I figured I could open ports. but, like I said, when I use, say, utorrent's port checker, it says they'r closed. [00:43] orphe: I think so. Though I doubt that it needs it ... [00:44] no luck [00:44] aeleon-> from your vista, you are logged in to your ubuntu server, so now you wanted to do what? [00:44] kazol_: thanks [00:44] Kuni: np [00:44] hi [00:44] I tried running server, but due to being a windows user, I wanted/needed a GUI. Linux knowledge is very limited to webserver usage... not everything else. === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [00:44] amenado: forward ports. [00:44] orphe: I can connect to other servers w/o having X installed, and xeyes works. [00:44] is there support for rstp with gstreamer ? [00:45] aeleon-> you haft to kind of guide me at which perspective you are looking this from/at [00:45] real media [00:45] I am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 in a hp dv2000 notebook. I got LiveCD running only on low graphic mode. When I double-click on "install", the install window is bigger than the screen so I can't click on "continue" to keep installation going on. Is there a solution for that? [00:45] amenado: I'm sitting on my client with access to my server and i want to forward ports. [00:45] aeleon-> you are already talking to your ubuntu server, what additional ports do you want? [00:45] aeleon-> forward ports from your server into where? [00:46] amenado: I want to be able to stream music. [00:46] amenado: and I don't want to use the port my server's listening on. [00:46] arko: try the alternate cd version... [00:46] aeleon-> you wanted to stream from your server into which box? [00:46] amenado: what? i want it streamable online. [00:47] Quick question for you folks, i just switched to amd 64 bit version of ubuntu, and i have problems installing. When i click any of the start or install ubuntu or the in safe graphics mode and all i get after it loads the kernel is a black screen [00:47] a friend told me it was because i'm using dvi/hdmi and not a regular vga cable [00:47] aeleon-> now you wanted to have a separate port on your ubuntu server to be served to the internet for people like me? [00:47] is there any merit to that at all? [00:48] amenado: ehh, yes and no. i want to run a shoutcast from my client while VPN'd to my server. [00:48] kaiden: No. It's probably due to graphic card drivers though. The liveCD sometimes has issues with them. Grab the alternate CD, install that way, and your graphics should work fine once installed. [00:48] ok thank you flannel [00:48] aeleon-> you can do that, serve on a different port and make sure your router facing the internet forwards this to your server [00:48] hi i need some help [00:48] can I use wpa2 with restricted bcm43xx driver? [00:48] Corwin: k...speak out !! [00:48] orphe: Correction: Just checked the second server: It actually _got_ X installed. [00:49] amenado: well, like i said, when i told my router to forward the port and then checked from my client to see it was open, it said it was closed. [00:49] vydd: Works here. [00:49] aeleon-> why not just run your shoutcast off of your server rather than having a source in uk, transitting the atlantic i assume [00:49] What is the command to stop sshd sudo /usr/sbin/sshd stop gives an error: extra argument stop. [00:49] amenado: because all my music's on my client. [00:49] EADG: just ssh [00:49] I have an hp pavillion with amd dual core processors but when I try to start the 32 bit version of ubuntu it does not boot [00:49] vlt: Dunke [00:49] aeleon certainly those can be transferred over to your ubuntu server right? [00:49] it starts to but then just hangs [00:50] EADG: `/etc/init.d/ssh stop` actually [00:50] amenado: no, to be honest. there's too much of it. [00:50] i heard that it might be a problem with my amd processor but i'm not sure [00:50] Flannel, thank you, i will try that [00:51] vlt: sorry not to have respond earlier ... indeed x needs to be installed due to the special x architecture [00:51] aeleon-> btw when you say you check from your client, are you referring to your client in uk or you are referring to your ubuntu server acting as client to access the routers web page? [00:51] vlt: Tanks, /usr/bin/ssh was hanging. [00:51] Corwin: did u try the live cd install... [00:51] yes [00:51] my client in the uk. [00:51] thats what i've been using [00:51] as in, i check with my browser, amenado. [00:51] vlt: xserver generate screen .... the xclient connects to it and send it ot its own server [00:51] orphe: Yes, I think you're right. But X is installed on both servers. [00:52] I installed Linux Gournal, how exactly do I open it? [00:52] Corwin: does ur system supports 64 bit architecture.... [00:52] aeleon-> but you know you can not directly get to the routers web page lest you use your vpn tunnel and use the ubuntu server as proxy to get to the router right? [00:52] It ran through the process of installing it, but I have no idea how to actually open the program [00:52] what? === abshiffl is now known as Sublimation [00:53] yes but i did not necessarily want to install the 64 bit version [00:53] amenado: why can i log into it successfully, then? and why does my server's ip come up when I look up my external ip? [00:53] Corwin: did u try the alternate cd version the...ther may be som problem wid ur installation... [00:53] aeleon-> if you are checking it from your vista side, when you open your browser and type 192.168.1.1 which router does it sees do you think? [00:53] anyone? [00:54] no i'll try that [00:54] hi guys what max ram 32 bit ubuntu recognizes? [00:54] aeleon-> in your vista browser, are you set to use a proxy? [00:54] vlt: hm...ok...do I enter password in plaintext, or encrypted? :S [00:54] but still [00:54] amenado: it sees my one at home. it has to, because i'm at school. [00:54] amenado: no. when my vpn is on, all my traffic routes through my vpn. [00:54] Gournal, I installed it, where is it? [00:54] Jahromeo: i wanna say 3gigs, but don't hold me to that. [00:54] aeleon thats what i want to establish [00:54] anyone confirm the amount of max ram that 32 bit ubuntu recognizes? [00:54] when i change the boot options to have no quiet splash i gets hung up on my second processor [00:55] orphe: X does work on server1 locally. I know it. What could be missing? [00:55] vlt: as of this page http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/ssh/guide/node29.html it is said that ssh automatically handles x variable setting [00:55] amenado: sorry if I didn't say that earlier. [00:55] Corwin: if the live cd booted sucessfull then its possible that u went somwer wrong during the installation... [00:55] hi [00:55] it never fully booted [00:55] and what is the diff between using 64 as opposed to 32 bit other than more ram? [00:55] vlt: is it running on server 2 ? [00:55] how start rhythmbox? [00:55] Is there any ways to make Ubuntu skip the login screen? I only have one user, and the computer is for everyone, so I really don't need the prompt the password each time it is turned on [00:55] aeleon i have to leave for a few, need to pick up stuff, be back in 20 mins [00:55] it only got to the second processor and then stopped [00:55] amenado: aight, thanks. [00:56] How can I edit where a link points to? [00:56] ! botsnack [00:56] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [00:56] If I install program outside of the "Add/Remove" utility, how do I access it? [00:56] please! [00:56] Corwin: plz go thro the installation procedure explained on the ubuntu's website & manual.... [00:56] Jahromeo: 64bit has a few issues that frustrate some folks that are new to Linux. [00:56] coloneLkerneL: How did you install the program? Usually they should be somewhere under Applications [00:56] k [00:56] most can be overcome, but tis how much effort they are able to put into it... 32bit, generall, "just works" Jahromeo [00:56] why is this lagging so badly?

[01:12] orphe: http://pastebin.ca/913410 [01:12] kuni: the aud one does not get bit-identical... [01:12] right [01:12] kuni: although it has the same file lenght [01:12] kuni: it became lossy...somehow [01:12] but why bother to open and export in either one? isn't it the exact same thing? [01:13] djzn: how do you mean? does it change the bit depth? [01:13] # [01:13] no, lemme explain [01:13] the point is that the file should not change [01:13] cooledit, when you open a WAV file and re-save it, it saves losslessly... the bit comparison, files are the same... [01:13] Indiadev_Techie: I tryed alternate cd but it accuses a file that is corrupted during installation and I can't go on. I have downloaded two different images and both said the same.

I want to set a proxy based on some network paramters... but with "export" i can only set it for my own shell [01:15] eum... ok [01:15] okay, as if audacity 'read's the file as an audio signal, not as digital data [01:15] in audacity you have to export in wav, right? more than likely cooledit processes in wav, whereas audacity processes some other way and then saves it as wav, so you have a discrepency. [01:15] vlt: i'll try that [01:15] yes kuni, i'd say that's the key [01:15] makes sense [01:15] Hi all, im trying to connect a Iomega ditto tape drive.. ive been reading on this for about a week now and still cannot find how.. anyone had experience with this ?

[01:16] then don't use audacity, [01:16] i think it's crap anyway [01:16] maybe, but negligibly. [01:16] i might check out cooledit though, being an audio engineer, i need some useful linux audio programs [01:16] i don't like audacity either [01:16] is there a replacement??? [01:17] also, if you're comparing soley on the basis of which one is better at saving the exact same file, I'd say that "cp " works best and fastest. ;) [01:17] not for linux, as far as i know, but what is cooledit? [01:17] anyone know how to change the icon of a folder [01:17] pingu, right click on it, properties, click on the icon, [01:17] good point, kuni, djzn, what sort of things are you doing in audacity? [01:17] pingu, i think. :) [01:17] Adobe Audition is what cooledit used to be [01:17] Jangari: Have you checked ardour yet? [01:17] no, vlt [01:18] Dr_willis: i tried that it just puts a little mark by it [01:18] Kuni: you're not getting, this is a lossless proof test...

[01:19] Dr_willis: nope i figured it out. you just open properties and click on the icon itself [01:20] pingu, hmm.. that was what i said. :) i thought. [01:20] http://ardour.org/ [01:20] djzn: i would suggest using an audio editor that operated on pcm, rather than the cached audio signal that audacity uses, [01:20] pingu, it's easy, right click, properties, on the first tab (called "basic") click on the current icon of the folder to select a new one [01:20] is there any way to automaticaly fill in dependencies when you're compiling from source?

[01:20] HDA ATI SB450... anyone? i think it might be a DSDT problem but after decompiling mine i see no issues... [01:21] in case you missed it earlier (since I didn't name it, sorry), djzn, here: http://ardour.org/ [01:21] Jangari: I am doing a comparison in TOtalcommaner... a binary one... the file is 98% different from the original WAV [01:21] gardenhose, if rebuilding a deb from source. its possibel.. but with just any old tar.gz source ou downloaded - not as easy [01:21] !source [01:21] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [01:21] would anyone be able to help me? [01:21] notice every time you open a file in audacity, it takes a few minutes per GB top open the file? it's interpreting the pcm data into a kind of 'digital approximation' of the audio signal [01:21] Jangari: whereas it's identical towards the Cooledit one [01:22] it should be identical [01:22] oh m god... [01:22] it's digital [01:22] oh my god ARDOUR looks like Apple Logic [01:22] So I'm having serious lack of sound issues.. ubuntu 7.10... HDA ATI SB450... new alsa drivers... [01:22] djzn: is that good or bad? [01:22] i'm willing to paypal $5 for someone who could help me actually pull this off.... i'm running a 32bit version of 6.06.1 LTS (server) but i need to upgrade to a 64-bit version without physically going there [01:23] kostkon: yea i got it from the help menu [01:23] that's supposed to be good... Recoil's subHuman was made out of Apple Logic [01:23] lol [01:23] anyone know much about encryption of files/folders [01:23] coop2, do mean running 64bit ona 32-bit CPU? [01:23] like if i just want to encrypt a file on my comp [01:23] * icanhasadmin is invisible maybe [01:23] djzn: well, it's in the repos if you want it. sudo apt-get install ardour [01:23] can I force aptitude to ignore dependencies and install an app anyways [01:24] how does cooledit rate? [01:24] neolith2099: it's a server with Xeon processors that support EM64T [01:24] Kuni: the fact I went to Audacity is that I wanted it on Windows [01:24] oh, there is no cooledit [01:24] pingu, yeah, indeed. I missed your post above at first. [01:24] coop2: 32 to 64 bit requires a reinstall. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has some methods, see especially the bit about server/network installs. Hopefully one will work for you [01:24] Kuni: Ardour and Sweep are not from Win... [01:24] vlt: sorry i have no idea ... there must be something with the server since it works with the same client on another server [01:24] djzn: ah...well, sorry then. I supposed you wanted it for (#)ubuntu... [01:24] coop2, it will require a reinstall then [01:24] Flannel: does it require a complete reinstall? or is there a way for me to fudge it with a recompile? [01:24] you guys know another audio program like audacity that runs on Linux and Win? [01:24] djzn: if the output file is wav wrapped pcm, it doesn't matter about cross-platform-ness [01:25] kostkon: ok cool. you know anything about encryption i am trying to encrypt a file on my comp but i can't seem to figure it out [01:25] why would you need a single audio editor that runs on all three platforms? [01:25] orphe: Yes, I really tried to find the difference. Got no idea yet. [01:26] djzn: I do know of one that runs on linux and windows thats just like audacity. Unfortunately, it happens to be audacity. [01:26] pingu, I don't have any first hand experience on file encryption so I cannot recommend you something specific [01:26] Kuni: well there are preferences on the type of WAV in audacity [01:26] kostkon: thanks [01:26] Kuni: I am gonna see if it's outputting the same WAV as cool [01:27] can someone help me? [01:27] djzn: this is true. I thought about mentioning it earlier. [01:27] use ardour on linux, and whatever you have, cooledit, say, or audacity, on win [01:27] anyone know anything about file encryption i am trying to encrypt a file on my comp and i have an option when i right click but i dont know what to do when the next window pops up [01:27] wavelab is another good one, damn powerful, but very expensive [01:27] sideways: maybe. what's your problem? [01:27] coop2: It does require a complete reinstall. You could manually reinstall, see the "From Knoppix" bit at the very end, that may help [01:27] I'm on 6.06, [01:27] is there a way I can use aptitude/synaptic to install something and ignore a missing dependency? [01:27] but I want 7.10 [01:27] have the cd etc. [01:27] hey, after changing my cpu from sempron to turion i have gui lag what should i do ? [01:27] except the video drivers keep crashing. [01:28] everytime I try and boot to it. [01:28] !enter [01:28] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:28] huh [01:28] pingu: forfilesgnupgisfineforwholepartitionsyoumihthavealookatluks [01:28] sideaways, put the disc in. Ubuntu should recognize it and ask if you would like to update. [01:28] did you try updating by "update-manger -d"? [01:28] Kuni: will try that now. [01:28] I mean, the disc way is easier, but if that's the problem [01:29] vlt: can you type that again with s p a c e s... plz [01:29] lol [01:29] anyone know the package needed, or do you need one to run pidgin [01:29] Kuni: it appears to be working. [01:30] vlt: and its just files [01:30] I couldn't install video drivers either... couldn't find the packages or something? [01:30] sweet [01:30] what kind of card do you have? [01:30] pingu: y e s i f y o u c o u l d u s e a n y p u n c t u a t i o n === BigDaddy is now known as dibbz [01:30] x1400 Mobility [01:30] Kuni: there's something in cooledit that's saying 44101... and in audacity 44100 as for the samplerate [01:30] I treid manual and automatic... [01:31] vlt: can you walk me through just one so i can get the idea because i have no idea. deal i'll put some punctuation [01:31] !spam | vlt [01:31] vlt: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubotu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam, !English - and most importantly, use common sense... [01:31] djzn: huh. try knocking audacity up to 48000 just to spite cooledit, see if that comes out the same [01:31] vlt: no need to be an asshole [01:31] Kuni: I'm saying the samplerate as 44101... [01:31] Donkey718666: youa round? [01:31] sideaways: ah. sorry, I have no idea how to use ATI cards (I'm on nVidia) [01:31] anyone know the package needed, or do you need one to run pidgin [01:32] pingu: you can always try sudo aptitude install pidgin, although it should come preinstalled === dibbz is now known as foobared [01:32] pingu: shouldnt Synaptics automatically download any needed packages [01:32] Kuni: OK, now I got it [01:32] Kuni: Well it told me to do "sudo get-install-flgrx" [01:32] <_Casey_> !vpn [01:32] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [01:32] Kuni: the frigging thing was the samplerate, Cooledit is detecting the WAV as 44101.... [01:32] flgrx being the driver... [01:33] sideaways, most likely its 'sudo apt-get install fglrx' [01:33] kuni: yea i checked my 'add/remove' and i said it was installed up i go to open it and it will load then close before it fully opens [01:33] yeah that's it. [01:33] IdleOne, Housefly7k: Sorry, didn't know that posting these short (funny) lines isn't tolerated here. [01:33] Dr_willis is correct [01:33] Kuni: Audacity was detecting it plainly as 44100 [01:33] but it came back unable to find packages [01:33] vlt: are. you. going. to. get. back. to. me? [01:33] <_Casey_> !vnc [01:33] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:33] Dr_willis: can you help me? [01:34] pingu: Yes, sure, just had to apologize ... [01:34] <_Casey_> !FreeNX [01:34] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [01:34] vlt: Who said your line was funny ;) But i meant you typed something that had absolutely no spaces in it for some reason [01:34] vlt: for what, its all in good fun [01:34] sideaways, other then to say do a 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' THEN try again.. and if it still dont work check out the !ati bot factoid web site.. thats the extent of my help [01:34] !ati | sideaways [01:34] sideaways: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:34] I'm trying to install catalystcc, but when I try to build a .deb package, i get this error: Unable to resolve ia32-libs. Please manually install and try again. [01:34] Can anyone help me? [01:34] vlt: and when someone asked you to clarify you got all pissy about it [01:34] at the grub menu, boot stalls unless I do an "edit" - I don't actually edit anything - just hit e,e,enter,b. boot then proceeds successfully. I know it's weird, but nayone experience this? [01:35] Dr_willis: Thankyou, i did the get-apt update. [01:35] djzn: yes, I understand. I also understand that Audacity has presets for 44100 (standard) and 48000 (standard), but not 44101 (not standard at all). [01:35] not upgrade though [01:35] pingu: sorry, I have no idea then. [01:35] kuni: thanks [01:35] vlt short funny lines are distracting #ubuntu-offtopic is full of short funny lines if you like [01:35] pingu: For file encryption you can use gpg. I'm sure there are GUI front ends but I'd reccommend using a terminal. [01:35] Kuni: it's weird because the ORIGINAL ripped file from CD is 44101... i think 44101 is the actual real 44.1kHz sample rate? [01:35] pingu: why dont you goto Synaptic package manager from System -> Administration and try to do a reinstall of pidgin [01:36] Housefly7k: hey i can fend for myself back off ok? [01:36] IdleOne: I'm really sorry. Just wanted to show pingu how it is like reading his messages ... [01:37] pingu and vlt: sorry you both can do and say whatever you guys want [01:37] !attitude | all [01:37] all: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:37] vlt understood :) [01:37] Housefly7k: thanks [01:37] djzn: well, either cooledit read it wrong, the program you used to rip it ripped it with a slight discrepency, or the file's weird, cause I'm pretty sure that 44100 is the standard. [01:37] ubotu: I have been there. they aren't working. I'm working through a pppoe connection so maybe there's a problem there? [01:37] pingu: So open a terminal. [01:38] vlt: quit apologizing, we have it worked out. no one else needs to worry about it. [01:38] vlt: terminals open [01:39] Question, Since flash memory is cheap, would it be possible to install Ubuntu on a SD card? Since Flash is faster then an HD, and then use the HD for my music vids etc? [01:39] pingu: GI file encryption is built into Ubuntu/GNOME [01:39] *GUI [01:39] Hi! I'm interested in the Ubuntu certifications (desktop and professional), mostly of the webcourses. I wonder what it costs to take them (I know the distance course for desktop training isn't released yet)? [01:39] pingu: did you create a GPG keypair for yourself? [01:40] Flannel, if you are still around, i got the alternate cd, and did the text based installation and i'm still greeted with a black screen the instant i try to load into the os [01:40] captmorgan: the only question I'd have about that is how you've got the sd card hooked up. Will your bios be able to boot to it? Also, I really have no idea if it would work. [01:40] mEck0: Savior Faire Linux has a bunch of training materials online for free [01:40] pingu: type `gpg --version` (The "`" signs mark a shell command, you must not type them.) [01:40] Kuni, I was thinking through the card reader, but I don't know if there is an option to boot the SD card haha [01:41] mneptok: no what is a GPG keypair, im totally new at encryption. ie. not exactly sure if its what i need or not. basically all i want to do is lock files on my computer so if someone gets on they can't view them without a password [01:41] Flannel, if you are still around, i got the alternate cd, and did the text based installation and i'm still greeted with a black screen the instant i try to load into the os [01:41] vlt: ok and i know the basics but thanks ne way [01:41] anyone know a program to "tag" avi files [01:41] pingu: in that Terminal type "sudo apt-get install seahorse" (no quotes) [01:41] vlt: done [01:41] hello [01:41] pingu: that will install a graphical key management app [01:42] how change a root password please [01:42] pingu: you can use that to create a GPG private/public keypair. [01:42] does anyone here use the vlc nightly builds? [01:42] mneptok: i have already done that, i got that off of the forums i just need some help with the first one [01:42] pingu: use that app to look at the keys on your system. do you have a GPG key set up for yourself? [01:43] how change a root password please ? [01:43] !root | dark [01:43] dark: 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 [01:43] mneptok: ok 'vlt' is also helping me so hold on. you should what he/she writes to me so we are all on the same page [01:43] Anyone know a program to tag avi files [01:43] vlt: i typed in what you told me [01:43] dark: But you can change it, of course. [01:43] Quick question for everyone, i just installed 7.10 using the alternate install cd, i'm using a dvi/hdmi monitor on an 8800gts, i can't boot into the os though due to the fact that it tries to enter a graphical mode [01:43] i do but i forget the command [01:43] pingu: alright, i'll go get some food, then :) [01:43] I need help quick keep getting cut off [01:43] is there anyway i can force grub into the console mode so i can update my nviida drivers? [01:44] root passwrd ? [01:44] How do i uninstall lokkit? [01:44] dark: `sudo passwd` should change root's passwd, I think. [01:44] dark: you just prepend sudo before any terminal command [01:44] vlt: mneptok is telling me to set up some kind of graphical key [01:44] dark: sudo passwd [01:44] ok thanks [01:44] mneptok, thx [01:44] and after I do so will I stop getting this error [01:44] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [01:44] vlt: whats next [01:44] ? [01:44] pingu: i'm telling you to use a graphical app to manage your keys. [01:44] AuraithX: close synaptic [01:45] mneptok: ok how do i do that vlt is having me work in the terminal [01:45] Or update manager (anything apt-get really) [01:45] Anybody know why a 64 bit love cd wont boot past the launch screen? [01:45] pingu: you said you installed Seahorse. [01:45] mneptok: yes [01:45] anyone know a good flv to mp4 (ipod) converter for ubuntu? don't want to use vixy.net or another online tool. Is ffmpeg capable of this? [01:45] mneptok: i dont know what happened to vlt so can you just walk me through it? [01:45] OriginalMP3, same problem i'm having, and i have a HDMI cable'd monitor which is apparently the cause... due to the graphics drivers [01:45] pingu: go to Applications>Accessories>Passwords and Encryption Keys [01:45] iTF|Prometheus, there's a great guide on the wiki [01:45] i dont have synaptic open -.- [01:45] pingu: I don't know the GUI tool. If you want to use it, folow mneptok. If you want to encrypt you got at least two methods: symmetric and public/private. [01:45] not a compelte noob [01:45] Kaiden: i have a dvi comitor [01:46] however taking flannels suggestion of using the alternate install cd i can get it installed [01:46] AuraithX: anything apt-get. [01:46] PriceChild, thanks - will check it out :) [01:46] OriginalMP3, yeah it effects dvi/hdmi [01:46] iTF|Prometheus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideo [01:46] pingu: If you just want to encrypt a file for yourself you can use symmetric encryption for now: [01:46] AuraithX: update manager, synaptic, apt-get, things of that nature. [01:46] how do I do that [01:46] Kaiden, is it only 64bit? 32 bit works [01:46] ... [01:46] PriceChild, Many thanks [01:46] OriginalMP3, yup, 32bit works fine for me too [01:46] theres someone trying to hack me so I need to get lokkit off and guarddog on as quick as possible [01:46] but 64bit doesn't [01:46] vlt: ok well i would like to know GUI and terminal [01:47] pingu: `gpg -c yourfile` Then type the passphrase you want to protect it with. [01:47] mneptok: ok now what am i looking at [01:47] Kaiden: well my soundcard has no 32bit drivers, any work arounds? [01:47] pingu: please choose either me or vlt. [01:47] AuraithX: I don't know which you're running. So I can't go any further than that. If you want to stop him in his tracks add "ALL: ALL" to /etc/hosts.deny for the moment [01:47] originalmp3, yeah... ask here and pray one of these fine gentlemen or women will help us [01:47] as i'm having the same problems [01:47] pingu: i can't spend time waiting for you to ask questions twice [01:47] AuraithX: then kill his processes. [01:48] PriceChild, thats exactly what i needed - thanks again [01:48] How do I run a bash script at bootup? [01:48] pingu: The result should be a new encrypted file yourfile.gpg [01:48] AuraithX: did you get what I said? [01:48] reportingsjr: /etc/rc.local [01:48] reportingsjr: put it in there [01:48] mneptok: ok i am going to go with vlt for now but i will ttyl to find out the GUI way [01:48] thanks :) [01:48] vlt: can it be a folder [01:49] how do i rebuild all packages with gutsy im on 7.04 now i think [01:49] pingu: be aware that the advice vlt is giving you is not secure unless you delete your shell history file every time you encrypt a file. [01:49] mneptok, do you think it's a good/large benefit of taking certifications (e.g. ubuntu, linux, programming) when you for instance are searching for a job? (in the computer science field) [01:49] vlt, that's before logging in, correct? [01:49] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:49] mneptok: what is shell history? [01:49] it pays to pad your resume.. because everyone else is. :) [01:49] mEck0: i know for certain that it is [01:49] pingu: No, gpg encrypts files. But you can pipe tar's output into gpg. [01:49] reportingsjr: Yes, on boot, as you wrote ;) [01:49] sweet! [01:49] thanks a bunch! [01:50] vlt: what do you mean by " you can pipe tar's output into gpg" [01:50] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:50] mneptok, ok thx, because I'm studying computer science at the moment, the 3rd year, and have though about certs. [01:50] mEck0: i can *guarantee* my employer would be more likely to hire you if you are Ubuntu certified. [01:50] pingu: `tar -c your_whole_folder | gpg -c` [01:50] i have a big question please i need help now because i think i'm hacked i tell a friend my ip and my root pass for he connect on my computer with ssh but i cannot see what he search [01:50] i really just wanna format but i cant ack up all my data [01:50] mneptok: can i talk to you later i think your way will look better but i like to know things in the terminal [01:50] maybe over a network [01:51] so if u can tell me what is the command to see the screen please [01:51] pingu: i make no guarantees about my IRC availability [01:51] mneptok, thx! :D [01:51] mneptok: ok [01:51] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:51] pingu: `tar -c your_whole_folder | gpg -c > your_folder.tar.gpg` to be correct. [01:51] dark: that's why you don;t set a root password. [01:51] pingu: You know the meaning of ">" on command line? [01:52] dark: if you just gave someone the root password to your machine, time to shutdown and reinstall. [01:52] vlt: no i dont know what > means [01:52] dark: and next time, don't do whatever some random friend tells you to do. [01:52] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:52] but can u tell me how see the screen of ssh [01:52] please [01:52] :- [01:52] :( [01:52] dark: you can't [01:53] erf [01:53] dark: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:53] well thanks for all [01:53] vlt: hold on, im not very good a the terminal [01:54] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:54] is there a way to have a terminal go fullscreen on the startup? It already opens on startup, but is not full screen [01:54] !repeat | mysterioso [01:54] mysterioso: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:54] how do I find what version im on? === badboy is now known as b4db0y [01:55] pingu: "tar" is an archive tool. It's used to store several files and folders in one "tar file". You can save tar's output to a file or "pipe" the output to the next tool, gpg in this case. At the end of this chain (that could be even longer) you redirect the output of gpg to a file. That's the ">" for.

[01:56] does anyone know of a "nice" terminal package manager? [01:56] as in one that you can search etc [01:56] pingu: If you don't specify an output file, tar will print out what it did ... You can nearly always abort with Ctrl+c. [01:56] anderswc: aptitude [01:56] ok, thanks [01:57] Network Manager Applet doesnt load.....How can i fix this? [01:57] mneptok, how many time u get to configure grub for boot really ? === blink148 is now known as auraithx [01:58] vlt: ok lets try this again i have " tar -c home/michael/energy arc" how do i specify where it goes [01:58] im on the mac now [01:58] I need help uninstalling lokkit [01:58] Hey guys, I remeber seeing a friend of mine go through and reset my Xorg file, it looked like Bios screen and asked questions which in result updated the xorg [01:59] how can I get back to that? [01:59] captmorgan, i think you are getting the 'console' confused with the 'bios screen' [01:59] Darkmystere: run nm-applet in console [01:59] varsendaggr, tried it it just hangs for a while.. [01:59] Well..guyess theres no fix [01:59] u still here [01:59] vlt: ok lets try this again i have " tar -c home/michael/energy arc" how do i specify where it goes [01:59] Dr_willis Bios screen was just for a lack of a better word [01:59] o.o [01:59] captmorgan, alt-ctrl F1 through F6 for the consoles. F7 to get back to X. [01:59] captmorgan, the word is 'console' :) [01:59] mneptok, have another question, on the site you linked to above, it says that Ubuntu Pro Course 1 (online version) costs 250 $US. Does this include the exam or just the course? And do you know how many exams is included if so? (I mean if you fail the first time or so)? [02:00] mEck0: no idea [02:00] !repeat | pingu [02:00] pingu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:00] mneptok, ok [02:00] captmorgan: are you talking about the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:00] how do I uninstall lokkir [02:00] CaptainMorgan, most likely you are refering to going to the console and using the command prince_jammys just mentioned. [02:00] what file [02:01] vlt: sorry [02:01] i keep getting cut off i didnt get any messages [02:01] Dr_willis, no I'm not [02:01] Is Kubuntu a lot bigger than Ubuntu once installed? [02:01] pingu: You can create a (still unencrypted) tar file by telling tar the output file with option "-f outputfile". Or you can pass (or as we say "pipe") it directly to the next tool using "|". [02:01] auraithx: I gave you the answer on how to get this "person" out. Google will tell you how to remove the kit. [02:01] pingu: `tar -c yourfiles | gpg -c > the_end_file.tar.gpg` [02:02] vlt: ok i think i got this is what i have "tar -c home/michael/energy arc | gpg -c > home/michael/energy arc.tar.gng [02:02] " [02:02] CaptainMorgan, then i guess we got NO idea what you are talking about then. :) thats the normal command to reconfigure the x server from the console. [02:02] i didn tget any of it :S could you repost [02:02] Dr_willis, wake up. [02:02] CaptainMorgan, some other disrtos have other tools. [02:02] space in file name!!!! [02:02] How long should memteat run on a 4GB system? [02:02] CaptainMorgan, i just woke up. :) gotta love 3rd shift. [02:02] pingu: the space in the output file is not allowd. [02:02] Dr_willis, first I was joking.. but come on. [02:03] CaptainMorgan, No coffee for me yet today. [02:03] anyone know if there are ubuntu packages somewhere for subversion 1.5 beta? [02:03] Dr_willis, wrong handle! [02:03] and in the input file [02:03] Anyone know how much bigger Kubuntu is compared to Ubuntu? [02:03] vlt: ok [02:03] pingu: So wait, energy and arc are not two files? [02:03] CaptainMorgan, Heh . Im not suprised. Sorry. :) I gotta get the java brewing. [02:03] chris062689, "bigger"? [02:03] Dr_willis, :) [02:03] Like, after intallation. [02:04] Installation* [02:04] * Dr_willis puts some rum in his coffee [02:04] vlt: no its the name of one file [02:04] as far as I know, the two liveCDs are the same size === auraithx is now known as AuraithX [02:04] the only difference is that kubuntu uses KDE while ubuntu uses GNOME. [02:04] Right, but I'm talking about post-installation. [02:04] pingu: energy_arc change it [02:04] I know that.. [02:04] pingu: Then you have to tell that the terminal. [02:04] !quotes | pingu [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about quotes - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:04] vlt: just did all that [02:04] I just have a hard-drive of only 4 GB, and want to know how much Kubuntu would take up compared to Ubuntu. [02:04] I still think nick completiuon on irc clients should be able to default to the closest name of the last person who spoke first. [02:04] AuraithX: <.< [02:04] Does memtest ever stop? It has beem 2 days so far [02:05] pingu: You can put quotes around file names ".../energy arc". [02:05] * genius just donated to Perl foundation :) [02:05] chicagonpg: it never stops [02:05] true, you can work around it. but if it's ok to change the file name, this problem wont persist in the future [02:05] pingu: There's another way too, but this would be too much for today ;) [02:05] Oh my really and dumb me I was thinking it would [02:05] Dr_willis, I like it... >> if (user.spoke(last)) { list recent users of the same or similar handle } or something to that effect would be nice [02:06] How do you know if it check all the ram? [02:06] how to play wow? [02:07] CaptainMorgan, yep. ya only really start having issues when they got 1000+ people in a room :) [02:07] how do you identify [02:07] i'm trying to figure that out now icesword... [02:07] i thought it was /nickserv identify pass [02:07] AuraithX: /msg nickserv identify pass [02:08] chicagonpg: AuraithX /msg nicks... [02:08] plen0x_ yes i cant PM until i verify [02:08] AuraithX: read above [02:08] namegame, give me a site that teach me up to level 70 at fastest speed [02:09] anyone using vmware [02:09] yeah [02:09] yes [02:09] do you guys know === mohadib_ is now known as mohadib [02:09] AuraithX: just message me when you're ready. [02:09] ? [02:10] when i double click on the icons under windows xp guest the folder wont open or the shortcut wont launch the application. can someone help [02:10] argh im trying to figure it out lol === icesword is now known as firesword [02:10] what do you mean /msg nicks [02:10] vlt: ok its telling me my files dont exist [02:10] AuraithX: type "/msg nickserver identify yourpassword" [02:10] Without quotes [02:10] Hi all. What's the latest stable version of ubuntu? I wanna give it a try [02:10] iceswords genius can you help [02:10] AuraithX: Three dots are normally used for abbreviation ;) [02:10] linxuz3r: try right-click [02:11] AuraithX: nickserv, rather. [02:11] right click works [02:11] !ubuntu > LUISLO [02:11] but why not double click works? [02:11] pingu: show me your command again, plase [02:11] Luis: i think it's 7.10 gutsy gibbon [02:11] there we go [02:11] linxuz3r: meybe double-click speed set to very fast in mouse settings? [02:11] vlt: "tar -c home/michael/Pictures/energyarc | gpg -c > home/michael/Pictures/energyarc.tar.gpg [02:11] " [02:11] Luislo please check private messages :) [02:12] speeddemon: it's hard to find in the website... thnx namegame... is 7.0 also called gutsy? [02:12] 7.10 is Gutsy Gibbons :) [02:12] correct [02:12] Does anybody know, is there a way to set user name to display a desired hostname instead of ip address? [02:12] pingu: /home [02:12] pingu: I guess it's "/home/mic..." rather. [02:12] linxuz3r: some buttons can stay "pressed". for example control or shift when you are pressing it and going out of vmware window. so try to click alt, ctrl, shift buttons [02:12] genius it didnt work [02:12] is there an open source version of vnc in the ubuntu repos? [02:13] I couldn't find one [02:13] speeddemon803. I have another question, I have the dvd (or cd) of 7.04... will I be available to update to 7.10 once installed the previous version? [02:13] changing the click speed doesnot work [02:13] 8.04..the next release will be called Hardy Herron, LUISLO :) [02:13] \ [02:13] Anybody know why, on a fresh Ubuntu 7.10 install, it seems to take forever for any program to launch? [02:13] ] [02:13] vlt: yep got it, rookie mistake [02:13] Sure LUISLO. [02:13] algum brasileiro? [02:13] DrBanzai, old computer? [02:13] any reason that a server wouldnt allow me to connect out on a port such as 7325 ? just auto says cannot connect however all internet etc.. is working fine [02:13] Go to your terminal and type in Gksu "update-manager -c" [02:14] speeddemon8803. Ok, I'll try it. See you in a while with a new desktop, I hope :D [02:14] anderswc: Nope, all brand new. AMD X2 64 5000+, 2gig ram [02:14] pingu: You can just use the path relative to your current working directory. Then it's `tar -c "Pictures/energy arc" | gpg -c > "energy arc.tar.gpg"` [02:14] linxuz3r: so whaty? [02:14] See you in a bit then ;) [02:14] changing the click speed doesnot work [02:14] vlt: ok i did. now where did that file go? === ruffleS is now known as Intrepid_Ibex [02:14] linxuz3r: some buttons can stay "pressed". for example control or shift when you are pressing it and going out of vmware window. so try to click alt, ctrl, shift buttons [02:14] DrBanzai, I haven't had that problem on my new computer, but did on an old one, so that's why I asked [02:14] anderswc: Ok, thanks. [02:14] pingu: To your current directory, /home/michael, I guess. [02:15] can someone help me remove that lokkit [02:15] any ruby folks here? [02:15] maybe try #ruby ? [02:15] now it works [02:15] :) [02:15] w00t [02:15] have done so [02:15] works great. [02:15] babye [02:15] brb [02:15] which app can I use to create mixes of music? Ardour? Rosegarden? And is it legal to for instance create own mixes from tracks which "real" artists has made? not for selling purpose, just for personal use. I'm looking for an app which doesn't require that you have music instruments. [02:15] just want to let ubuntu/ruby folks know that I'm doing the 2008 IORCC and they can check it out if they like. [02:15] thanks. [02:16] it's probably illegal in singapore [02:16] vlt: im not seeing it anywhere [02:16] Hope someone can help: its with my sound. Sometimes I can't hear video sounds like on youtube and porn sites, other times I can, and most of the time I don't hear my login/logout sounds [02:16] mEck0: ardour can do it. In most countries it should be legal. [02:16] mneptok: are you still on? [02:17] vlt, thx! Hmm, but now when I'm thinking a bit, I think I've tried Ardour some month ago, but it couldn't open mp3's? [02:18] pingu: type `ls -rt` to list files ordered by date [02:20] mEck0: Just read your last sentence again. Maybe you're looking for a sampler too. [02:20] vlt: it gives me this "Examples Templates nautilus-debug-log.txt Documents Desktop [02:20] Videos Public Firefox_wallpaper.png Music Pictures [02:20] " [02:20] vlt, I'm kind of a newbie in the music creation/edition field :P why does a sampler do? [02:21] pingu: hmm, any error msg? [02:22] vlt: this is all it gave me after i excuted the command "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names [02:22] " [02:22] vlt pingu sorry to intrude --- can you paste the command you executed here once more? [02:22] Anyone here in the Lower Mainland area of BC looking for a LAN party this weekend? [02:23] prince_jammys: yea hold on a sec [02:23] prince_jammys: " tar -c /home/michael/Pictures/energyarc | gpg -c > /home/michael/Pictures/energyarc.tar.gpg [02:23] " [02:23] mEck0: A sampler takes small samples of sound, sometimes just a snare drum, sometimes 8 bars of drum solo or speech. Then you can "compose" a new track and use samples from the sampler program ... I leave the rest to your own creativity ;) [02:24] vlt, aha, now I'm with you :D but I assume there is one in Ardour? [02:24] pingu: So it's in Pictures/ (and probably got a small bit of its own in it ;) [02:25] vlt: ok wow i feel dumb i opened it again and there it was staring me in the face [02:25] mEck0: I don't know. I doubt, for Ardour is more a multi track audio editor and arranger ... but maybe there is. [02:25] vlt: thanks so much! thats awesome. === AelatisLAN is now known as gmoney [02:26] Hi I am looking for help with my wireless madwifi keeps disconnecting. have tried everything i can find and no help . am i in the right place?

[02:26] I noticed that .odt is the default format now === graemedergousoff is now known as gmoney [02:26] and .abw is not among the choices [02:27] Hi, newly set up Gutsy server running Apache2, static filesystem (CIFS mount to Samba server)... Apache reports correct content length to a client but after about 10k sends a FIN. Client attempts resume from 10k, apache sends another 10 and FIN... any ideas on where to start tracking thsi one down? [02:27] oops! sorry! I didnt notice that I was using oo.o! LMAO ROFL! === AelatisLAN is now known as gmoney [02:28] how do I uninstall lokkit :/ [02:29] hi friends [02:30] when I try to uninstall it it says it's not installed. === gmoney is now known as AEgmoney [02:31] yeah just copying 300GBs over a 100mbit network [02:31] AutoMatriX, then it's not installed [02:31] so what are you doing all afternoon [02:31] yeah just watching my 7 hour file transfer you? [02:32] helpppppppppppppppppp :| [02:32] ok my pidgin isn't working any ideas [02:32] pikachu, I guess this was an error ? [02:32] my computer is uselss until i can uninstall it [02:32] AuraithX, hi [02:32] anyone in the lower mainland wanna go to a lan party? [02:32] hello [02:33] AEgmoney, you should post it on the forums [02:33] well, it's coming up really soon [02:33] this weekend [02:33] AuraithX, if it says its uninstalled why not install it and then uninstall it [02:33] AuraithX: how do you figure its useless? [02:33] so i thought people might see it here first [02:33] AuraithX, i think what u might be looking at is another programing depending upon it [02:33] rpm -e is what im using [02:33] the settings are stopping me from using the internet connection [02:33] bah u using ubuntu use apt!! [02:33] not red hat [02:33] AuraithX: are you usingg Ubuntu, Ubuntu does not use RPMs [02:34] pingu: back now [02:34] how do you incrementally scroll in links2? I can only scroll a page at a time it seems [02:34] sudo apt-get install rpm [02:34] :/ [02:34] since I'm here, can somebody tell me wher o find the configuration file of Streamripper ? I'd like to change the DL directory from my /home /home/music [02:34] lol [02:34] bah rpm [02:34] AuraithX: no, try sudo apt-get remove lookit [02:34] deb > rpm. end of story. [02:35] * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ Nubbie [02:35] i had the older nodoka engine installed. I decided to remove the old version of the gtk theme then installed the newer engine and the new themes. now, the themes wont display properly. is it because i didnt remove the older engine? :) [02:35] ubu2: ctrl+n/p I belive [02:35] thats it cheers [02:35] rpm is what it said thru google :S [02:35] AuraithX, ubuntu handels the programs you install with apt-get install, if you use rpm thats another package manger from redhat/fedora each set of distros has its own package manager and you should use that [02:35] AuraithX: RPM is fine, if you're using an RPM based distro, you're not, your'e using a debian distro. [02:36] I try to connect to a server via `ssh -X server1`, but $DISPLAY isn't set there, and I can't forward apps to my screen. The same command to server2 works perfectly. xbase-clients is installed on both servers. Any idea what's missing on the first machine? [02:36] if you MUST install foreign packages, you should probably build your own debs from tar releases. [02:36] EADG: ah, that would make sense, wouldn't it? [02:36] EADG: thanks =) [02:37] vlt: enable X forwarding in the ssh_config on server1 [02:37] EADG: It is. [02:37] to upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10, can i do that automatically or do I have to uninstall my 6.06 version? [02:38] vlt: I'm out of ideas then :0 [02:38] EADG: btw, did you see my message earlier? that link you sent fixed the problem [02:38] sideaways: I think, you have to do it release by release. [02:38] arrg. [02:38] sideaways: yes you can ONLY upgrade to concurrent releases. [02:38] sideaways: Maybe you can go from LTS to LTS in April. [02:38] I dont suppose theres anyway now to see who was making the attacks ? :( [02:38] IP-wise [02:38] AuraithX: sure there is. [02:39] ubu2: No, sorry I didn't. Got quit afew screens running. What did the link fix? [02:39] logs [02:39] what are the configureation files for samba? [02:39] with 6 GiB of RAM, is it to be expected that only 3.2 GiB are detected on a 32-bit install? [02:39] ok my pidgin isn't working any ideas and i tried reinstalling it in the synaptic [02:39] Tokayla: /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:39] firestarter keeps closing [02:39] i have two identical samba confs .. on two ubunut servers .. [02:39] vlt: I can't even get 7.10 to boot =( [02:39] o.o [02:39] underwatercow: i believe ubuntu uses a hybrid kernel, so you should be fine. [02:39] EADG: the framebuffer issue I was having, couldn't get 1024x768 going in the console without breaking X [02:39] underwatercow: try a livecd. [02:39] the video driver keeps crashing. [02:40] does anyone know how to use the vnc4server? [02:40] i used differenet net bios names etc.. but one works fine without login but the other asks for the guest password [02:40] I want to be able to access my linux box with my windows computer [02:40] can someone help me install adobe flash...and remove the gnash player :( ? [02:40] Nubbie: What do you mean? There is a 32-bit in install and a 64-bit install... [02:40] anderswc: I'm sure anyone knows [02:40] anderswc, run vnc4server - thats about it. :) you may want to edit your .vnc/xstartup script to run a window manager you have intalled. It defaults to twm i belive. [02:40] anderswc, then connect to the server with a vnc client program. [02:40] ubu2: Ahh, right on. [02:41] grandpa do you have firefox [02:41] I tried connecting and it said connection refused [02:41] sweetsinse, yeah [02:41] anderswc, be sure you dont accidently spawn more vncservers then you need. Check the logs in .vnc to see whats going on. It may not be starting properly [02:41] anderswc: did you run vncserver? [02:41] underwatercow: With 32 bit install the kernel can only understand about 3.2Gb. The 32 bit server kernel can see more with PAE extensions. The 64 bit kernel can see more than the 3.2Gb right off. [02:41] i have a script i wrote that will do that for you [02:41] underwatercow: i doubt you'll find many people in here who have more than 2GB ram, so i suggest you check out the livecd. [02:41] request for AOL service even though there are no programs open [02:41] anderswc: and does it still run? check `ps`) [02:41] sweetsinse, really? [02:41] that anyting to be worried about? [02:41] vlt, ps? [02:42] grandpa, yeah... i just need to modify it quick because it does more than just that [02:42] sweetsinse, k [02:42] has anyone managed to get into a pptp vpn from linux? [02:42] genii, Nubbie: Thanks... I was lead to believe that 32-bit addressed up to 4GiB, but as long as 3.2 is what the 32-bit is supposed to show, I can assume the 6 GiB work fine until I get around to installing 64-bit. [02:42] granpa, fist open a terminal so we can remove gnash [02:42] grandpa, fist open a terminal so we can remove gnash [02:42] sweetsinse, there [02:43] underwatercow: np, you're welcome [02:43] type: sudo apt-get remove gnash [02:43] anderswc: The command `ps` shows you running processes. [02:43] I have problem with Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller. Can you help me? [02:43] vlt, ok [02:43] anderswc: There should be a process "Xvnc" [02:43] sweetsinse, huh..it says its not installed. [02:43] yeah, it's running [02:44] arrrghhh: there is a vpn extension for network manager, i forget what the package is called though. [02:44] It looks like I have two servers running to :( [02:44] how do I stop one? [02:44] grandpa maybe you didnt istall it then? [02:44] sweetsjnse, guess not [02:44] hey I'm having trouble compiling the newest alsa-driver [02:44] can anyone decipher these error messages for me? [02:44] anderswc: Then check it's listening port: `netstat -tuplen | grep 590` should show you smth. [02:44] grandpa you have gutsy right [02:44] sweetsinse, yep [02:45] Nubbie, network-manager-pptp? yea... i'm using kubuntu, and knetworkmanager i guess sucks or something. there's a crappy suggestion on the bugs list that suggests using network-manager-gnome and network-manager-pptp to setup the vpn, then use knetworkmanager to connect to the vpn. i have yet to get that workin. [02:45] anderswc: You can have dozens of processes running ... [02:45] yeah, I actually only had a few [02:46] so how can I stop the server and start it again? [02:46] anderswc, ps ax | grep vnc --> shows my vnc server 6319 ? S 0:00 Xvnc :2 -desktop MythBox:2 (wi [02:46] anderswc, vncserver -kill :# [02:46] I used xen-tools on ubuntu to create a xen-guest, when I start the guest server and do a xm display I see that the gues has locked at: "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" [02:46] sweetsinse, you have a url for this script?

[02:47] hi all :) [02:48] I cannect connect to the internetwhen I installed ubuntu [02:48] -_- [02:48] can't * [02:48] PC3, hi [02:48] pikachum hi [02:48] PC3: you're going to have to be more specific with your set up and your problem if you expect satisfactory suggestions in here. [02:48] PC3, did you have internet during the livecd? [02:49] yup [02:49] hrm [02:49] anyone, anyone? [02:49] u use wifi, ethernet? [02:49] dialup? [02:49] ethernet [02:49] grandpa [02:49] what does ifconfig in a terminal yield [02:49] sweetsinse, yo [02:49] 127.0.0.1 [02:49] PC3 - put it all in a pastebin [02:50] grandpa: http://sweetsinsemilla.googlepages.com/installflash.sh :follow the prompts [02:50] sweetsinse, is this legal? [02:50] can anyone help me with a atheros txpower issue? [02:50] i have no idea [02:50] its the same package used by the repos [02:50] k [02:50] flash is free [02:50] well [02:50] not completely free in the word like free beer [02:51] the script just finds your firefox install dir, and downloads flash, and starts the installer [02:51] gotta be careful throwing the free word around with linux... but it's free in the money free sense. [02:51] I'm not on ubuntu now should go there and get u the results of ifconfig [02:51] ? [02:51] its not open [02:51] anderswc: If you don't know: Every vncviewer command creates a new clear "virtual" X server. If you want to access the "real" X that drives the real screen you may want to look at x11vnc. [02:51] PC3 - uhm... to diagnose this problem we are going to need to actually do some troubleshooting on the machine itself. c'mon now. [02:51] look at freenx [02:51] absolutely phenomenal [02:51] arrrghhh, kk brb :) [02:51] freenx is awesome [02:52] sweetsinse, i also i'm trying to get freenx working.. [02:52] i found some packages i bokmarked === AelatisLAN is now known as AEgmoney [02:52] arrrghhh, u need just ifconfig result anythin else ? [02:52] PC3: you can look in system->administration->network tools and check that you get an IP address and use some low level tools to check stuff out. [02:52] x11vnc suited my needs better. [02:52] sweetsinse, i know the flash is legal...and the codecs are not in the u.s....but, i'm only installing the flash on this script correct? [02:53] what is the thing that clears out the apt-get [02:53] apt-get remove all? [02:53] Is there a recommended way to install firefox3 such that you get the latest beta? [02:53] PC3 - well you don't have another machine you can use i'm guessing... ifconfig is all i want for now, i need more information as to why your internet isn't working since you didn't give us any info. like are you getting ip, link, etc. [02:53] apt-get clean [02:53] the script i wrote just downloads flash from the official site for you and starts the installer [02:53] apt-get autoremove [02:53] freenx gutsy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620057 :very nice [02:53] hey whats up? [02:53] cwillu: use the firefox3 package from repositories. [02:53] hi, i have having problems logging in to my GNOME session. I've figured this is because my PATH variable is not getting set. [02:53] arrrghhh, ok brb [02:53] Any help? [02:53] I'm getting that locked thing again [02:53] cwillu, just copy over your firefox-3.0 directory. mine is in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0 [02:53] !ask | figuringout [02:53] figuringout: 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. :-) [02:53] apt-get clean doesnt work [02:54] and something/one keeps closing my firestarter [02:54] grandpa: aside from that my script just tells you where firefox is so you can enter that in when the official installer asks you [02:54] Nubbie, that's not the neweest beta. when b2 was out they were still on alpha8. [02:54] AuraithX, whats apt-get clean tell you? [02:54] !apt-fix | AuraithX [02:54] AuraithX: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » === Audio is now known as Audio_1 [02:54] that its locked [02:54] Nubbie, arrrghhh, nvm, did notice that the backports had a b3 build (nubbie, standard repo ff3 is out of date; arrrghhh, copying a binary build was exactly what I was hoping to avoid :p) [02:54] AuraithX, do the above [02:54] does anyone have voices coming through there speakers like someone is broadcasting products [02:55] lol gonna take me a min to copy it over to the other comp heh [02:55] sweetsinse, it says: Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser [02:55] do you need that facy A? [02:55] its like a virus i guess but i don't know how its working [02:55] cwillu, i just extracted the .tar.gz file and moved it over my older firefox-3.0... [02:55] adrian_, sounds like you are getting interference from a local station. [02:55] adrian_: i recommend you seek psychological help. [02:55] sweetsinse, it doens't seem to be liking my entry of /usr/lib/firefox [02:55] hahahah [02:55] adrian_: i'm serious. [02:55] sweetsinse, it keeps putting the tmp prefix in front.. [02:55] grandpa scroll up... there should have been a prompt that told you what to put here [02:55] lol. [02:55] damn... i keep pressing f2 to open a console and im on windows ;( [02:56] how would u pick a radio singnal though [02:56] adrian_: It may be a TV tuner or radio tuner you have on your system [02:56] aa [02:56] * speeddemon8803 is now on my best behavior since grandpa is here :) [02:56] adrian_, got a couple firefox tabs open? it's probably just a flash ad [02:56] Oloughlin75: for windows support, please see #windows. [02:56] thats the thing they are all closed [02:56] wtf is going on here [02:56] Nubbie, i dont have any problems... [02:56] i only have one open [02:56] can you PM me that code [02:56] haha.

[02:57] cwillu: Damn, beat me to it ;) [02:58] i try to bring a *little* humor into the room...just enough to make us all realize..were human..not drones :P [02:58] sweetsinse, i actually have freenx installed...but, i have no idea how to configure it so my other box can reach it....would you be able to help? [02:58] MrKnights: 1 [02:58] do you think if i reinstall linux to where it would quit doing the bradcasting from my speakers [02:58] well, most of us are human, i myself am a drone ;) [02:58] granpa do you hav sshd installed [02:58] wait, -19 or -20 [02:58] genii: whats the highist, for future?

[02:59] henil nubbie: thanks guys === loden is now known as Pr0nStrGeek [02:59] MrKnights: in terminal type nice --help for more information. [02:59] MrKnights: It goes from -20 to 20 with 0 normal, 20 highest -20 lowest of course [02:59] its like a signal but i have no other tabs open [02:59] (just checked man renice) [02:59] MrKnights: yes i just realized i was wrong lol.

[02:59] grandpa are both computer on the same subnet... so we dont have to deal with port forwarding [03:00] * genii hands Nubbie a nice large coffee [03:00] i downloaded a dvd iso of Gutsy and when i tried to burn it i got an error talking about its a java script and not to run it is it possible for it to malicious ? [03:00] genii: thanks, i know where to put mysql now lol [03:00] like are they on the same side of the same router for testing [03:00] adrian_: That is truly interesting [03:00] uboto ; how do you get that A at the end [03:00] MrKnights: np [03:00] sweetsinse, actually the other box is very far away :) [03:00] genii: i'm a tea drinker. [03:00] this is my environment file. My PATH variable is all screwed up when I login. http://pastebin.com/m54de7ff3. [03:00] genii: :D [03:00] grandpa do you have a way to test locally? [03:00] WillieDaPimp; where did you get it from? releases.ubuntu.com is the official releases [03:00] Nubbie: Imagine it's tea then ;) [03:01] Ubotu is a bot, its not intelligent, can only give information that it has in its database, cant actually hold a conversation. [03:01] sudol fusor command not found [03:01] sweetsinse, i have no idea :) [03:01] WillieDaPimp: what program produced this error? [03:01] bash sido command not found [03:01] speeddemon8803: speak for yourself, ubotu and I get along just fine. [03:01] grandpa where is the server box? is that local? do you have another computer like a laptop local [03:01] AuraithX, you spelled sudo wrong [03:01] AuraithX: don't you mean sudo ? [03:01] what about the other one [03:01] bastid_raZor, the linux torrent tracker site [03:01] oh [03:01] sudol [03:01] Nubbie, Nautilus [03:01] now if we were in offtopic, that would be different, ubotu has different stuff for different rooms ;)...but...im not gonna go deep into that :) [03:01] whoopsie daisy [03:01] AuraithX, you spelled it wrong twice [03:01] sweetsinse, this is the only box...but, i want to let my other computer connect to it to do work...b/c vnc wasn't cuttin it.l [03:02] WillieDaPimp: oh rly... that's strange. try burning it with gnomebaker [03:02] sudo: fusor command not found [03:02] i didnt spell it wrong twice, I copied it over back here wrong [03:02] Nubbie, i did and it spit the dvd out and said something about the media not being correct [03:02] it was right in the terminal [03:03] !info fuse [03:03] Package fuse does not exist in gutsy [03:03] can the x11vnc server be connected to on windows> [03:03] ?

[03:03] Hello, is there anybody who uses a 2.6.25 series kernel? [03:03] sudol was a typo copying it back over here. im on a different machine [03:03] <_Oz_> HALLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ubuntu friends! [03:03] grandpa how did you install freenx [03:03] did you compile or use a package [03:03] hello oz, welcome back. [03:04] sweetsinse, .deb package [03:04] * _Oz_ roars into #ubuntu like a red-hot cannonball launched from a pirate ship in the bay. [03:04] AuraithX, double check the spelling for everyting, and what package are you after? [03:04] grandpa do you know what version you instlaled? [03:04] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: thank you! [03:04] whats that before the info [03:04] ! ? [03:04] * nickrud watches _Oz_ sink into the harbor [03:04] i have a laptop that i want to install ubuntu on... it's got a built-in sprint modem... i'm wondering.. if i install ubuntu, could i configure it so that i can plug a router in to my laptop and share internet? [03:04] <_Oz_> I've been on the road for about a week; I miss my Ubuntu machines. [03:04] sweetsinse, it was about a month or two ago from their website.. [03:04] can someone please look at this and tell him how to fix it? http://pastebin.com/m495be9cb [03:04] _Oz_: that was unnecessarily disruptive... and hi! [03:04] <_Oz_> I'm thinking about buying a new PC so I'll have an extra PC to play with Ubuntu with. [03:04] sweetsinse, so, unless their version changed...the latest i believve [03:04] a week? dang...seems like just yesterday you were here :) [03:04] <_Oz_> Nubbie: heh, heh. Thanks! [03:04] <_Oz_> :) [03:04] believe* [03:05] _Oz_: you can play with ubuntu now. [03:05] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: I've been here anyway. But I'm using a windows machine right now. [03:05] <_Oz_> SUCKS. [03:05] info fusor works [03:05] _Oz_: download yourself a livecd. [03:05] oh, i see :) [03:05] and its spelled right originally [03:05] so does anyone have any ideas to get the strange voices out of my speakers [03:05] <_Oz_> Nubbie: yeah, that's okay. No realy need. This laptop is not going to be a dual-boot deal. [03:05] yeeAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhh! [03:05] <_Oz_> Nubbie: four of my machines at home are running it, two of them are dual boot. [03:06] <_Oz_> This laptop is just too critical to risk messing up with an ubuntu install. Besides, I only have about 6gb free. Have a ton of work stuff on it. [03:06] _Oz_, you have 4 computers :o [03:06] is my question possible??? [03:06] are the linux partitions slowly taking over oz? :) [03:06] adrian_, are you sure amarok isnt on the taskbar? or any other music player? [03:06] <_Oz_> Tam00: actually I have seven [03:06] i'm sure [03:06] grandpa.. i spent awhile mesing with it and finally got it w3rking perfectly becasue of that link i posted earlier. that guy made custom gutsy deb packages with freenx 0.7.1 latest version, i would uninstall the deb you have and follow those directions [03:06] its weird [03:06] AuraithX: are you sure you don't just get the default info page? [03:06] its just like a frequencey [03:06] <_Oz_> Tam00: but 2 are my wife's (1 is a laptop, 1 is a desktop) and the rest are mine -- a laptop and three desktops [03:06] _Oz_: i said LIVE cd. [03:06] uhh proably i just noticed it came up [03:06] assumed thats what you were after rather than "NO INFO" [03:06] _Oz_, whoa! that like breaks the space time curriculum [03:06] adrian_: is it still talking [03:07] <_Oz_> nubbie: yeah, I don't get much out of running it off the CD. I like customizing the interface and messing around. LiveCD is pretty slow. Good for eval purposes only. [03:07] anyone here know how I can find a server by IP (and not name) in XQF? [03:07] Is there a way I can view the command line interface from ubuntu without installing gnome, from a windows machine [03:07] no menu item fusor [03:07] <_Oz_> Tama00: heheh. I have an old thinkpad too, but it's worthless, so I don't count it. [03:07] sweetsinse, could you repost the link por favor? [03:07] _Oz_, i used to have an old thinkpad but it died [03:07] coreymanshack: SSH.... [03:07] yeah np [03:07] sweetsinse, i can't find it :) [03:08] coreymanshack: putty on the windows side and ssh server on the linux side [03:08] I've been up for ~85hrs [03:08] !ssh [03:08] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [03:08] AuraithX: I did a check, there is no fusor . What is it? [03:08] _Oz_, sister was playing music with it in the barthroom while she was having a 1 hour shower [03:08] shadows re starting to become 3d [03:08] yeah it wasnt pretty [03:08] grandpa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620057 :w3rks [03:08] I dunno theyre tellin me to do it [03:08] hi all : I have new PC with Intel E8400 CPU, where can I find the 64 bit Ubuntu for install ? [03:08] AuraithX, they want you to fuser [03:08] <_Oz_> my thinkpad works okay, but the fan keeps dying. I replaced the fan once for $40 (ebay!) and then it died again a month later. The computer is too old to be worth keeping up with. [03:08] oh [03:08] Nubbie: genii: For some reason I was thinking that SSH was GUI based. [03:08] <_Oz_> One hour shower? Insane! [03:08] font is very small on this mac :P 2sec [03:08] !install | tomvolek_ [03:08] tomvolek_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

I can't seem to move a window to another desktop though. Usually I right click on the title bar and get an option to do that. Is there some other trick? [03:09] grandpa did you get flash w3rking? [03:09] coreymanshack: With freenx for instance you can tunnel X apps over ssh [03:09] okay thats done [03:09] then sudo apt-get clear? [03:09] genii: you don't need freenx. [03:09] sweetsinse, ah yes! thank you. [03:09] craigbass1976: ctl+alt+arrow keys [03:09] Nubbie: genii: That is GOD. [03:09] Nubbie: True, X forwarding also works [03:09] thanks Prince, i was surprised at the file name once I make a section on the Ubuntu site, it called amd64 [03:09] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: you have to drag it onto the other desktop [03:09] whats the command to unlock it [03:10] sudo apt-get what [03:10] AuraithX: locked again? [03:10] sweet, i am using that script for end user setups. i plan to charge ppl for custom ubuntu installs and configs. ive had alot of good feedback so far [03:10] !apt-fix | AuraithX [03:10] AuraithX: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:10] yes [03:10] Does anyone know of a program that can limit memeory usage of a process [03:10] _Oz_, no love. You mean down to the lower right "different desktops" area? [03:10] !anyone [03:10] 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?

[03:10] haha [03:10] sweetsinse, sorry..i'm really tired....i should know this but, what is the simplest way to remove that .deb freenx? [03:10] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: do you have the 3D cube enabled (compiz-fusion)? [03:10] AuraithX: I suspect the update manager is running a lot on your box and causing this [03:10] Nubbie: genii: Thanks so much for your help. [03:10] anyone her use irsii? [03:11] _Oz_, Yep [03:11] well the amount of time i spent learning all the little tweaks, ppl are more than willing to pay me to set it all up [03:11] its that firewall thing [03:11] it did a count down it went 5 4 3 2 1 then it make a gurgling sound and quit lol [03:11] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: then just drag it to the left or right edge of the screen and keep on going [03:11] gurgling? [03:11] AuraithX: The firewall won't lock your dpkg database [03:11] sweetsinse: make sure you know what you're doing, especially if you involve money. don't give ubuntu a bad name. [03:11] _Oz_, wow.... [03:11] grandpa use synaptic: system > settings > synaptic : search for freenx [03:11] well like a care noise [03:11] wtf its still locked [03:11] after I typed all that fusor stuff [03:11] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: pretty cool, eh? [03:11] *fuser :P [03:12] AuraithX: Please copy and paste the exact error message [03:12] ahhh, fuser, no wonder ubotu kept freaking out, it was a typo ;) [03:12] _Oz_, insane. I like this better every time I use it. I thought a few months ago it was just eye candy, but alt+tab and Ctrl+alt+uparrow are pretty handy. [03:12] different comp [03:12] yesterday i set this guy up with arabic language and hotkeyed it so he could swicth languages on the fly, kinda cool. no man, i let ppl know its free, the pay me to do what they do not understand yet... thats the nature of consulting :) [03:12] locked with 13 permissions [03:12] hey, anyone familiar with both (x)ubuntu and puppy? [03:12] <_Oz_> craigbass: yeah, very handy. I'm addicted to it. Try Super-Tab (super = windows key) [03:12] var lib dpkg lock [03:12] i need someone to help me out with setting up wireless on my 2g macbook pro. [03:13] stupid question for ya'll, how do i get out of Xorg to install the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website? ctrl-alt-backspace puts me back to the login screen, but i can't seem to close the session and enter a console runlevel [03:13] 2zs [03:13] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: also, try Super-E [03:13] i put gksu infront and it worked [03:13] _Oz_, when I do a "switch desktop" though (gdmflexiserver) these effects got all screwed up and I had to stop using them [03:13] AuraithX: Are you using: sudo apt-get or just: apt-get [03:13] _Oz_, what's super e [03:13] super=your windows key, if you didnt know that :) craigbass1976 [03:13] Ahh [03:13] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: super = windows key [03:13] what [03:13] i'll just reinstall linxu tomorrow see if that helps it [03:14] Nothing happens [03:14] just clear [03:14] adrian_: Is it still doing it? [03:14] adrian_: What is it talking about? [03:14] yep [03:14] windows key + e..nothing happens craigbass? [03:14] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: not familiar with gdmflexiserver [03:14] kaiden, you have to do ctrl-alt-f1. but the "official" ubuntu way is thru restricted drivers manager. have you tried that? [03:14] speeddemon8803, right [03:14] now a gksu apt-get autoremove [03:14] ok, just making sure we were on the same page :) [03:14] is there any reference to MagicSysRq ? [03:14] AuraithX: sudo apt-get install somepackage <- correct for instance apt-get install somepackage <-- incorrect, needs sudo in front [03:14] sweetsinse, uh i don't have freenx but nx client for linux....is there a difference? [03:14] test about somthing [03:14] arrrghhh, ctrl alt f1 doesn't do anything at all [03:15] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: do you have an nvidia or ATI card? [03:15] omg lol [03:15] haha [03:15] its talking about metal gear sold again [03:15] adrian_: What? [03:15] super E is pretty sexy...sad you dont have it [03:15] grandpa do a search for nx [03:15] yein this case i needed gksu sudo [03:15] _Oz_, It's a command I run by having an icon pointing to it on the Desktop. Quicker than System -> Quit ->switch user [03:15] lol [03:15] hi, I just upgrade grub to grub2 on Gutsy, however, when I boot, I only get a grub rescue prompt, any help? [03:15] for some reason [03:15] didnt work with just sudo [03:15] swwetsinse, i have nxserver , nxclient, nxnode [03:15] AuraithX: Please don't improvise commands mixing GUI sudo commands with command-line applications for instance. [03:15] _Oz_, whatever is on board this Dell 2400 [03:15] ok [03:15] kaiden, did you listen to a word i said? [03:15] grandpa remove them all [03:15] or read for that matter... [03:15] I can't even rememember what I'm doing - will this fix the firewall crashing? [03:16] grandpa you need the commercial client but you need a certain version as per the guys instructions [03:16] sweetsinse: really... [03:16] arrrghhh, yes, read quite well, problem is.... you didn't listen to what i said :) [03:16] wease|, my wife would probably get angry if the computer started being sexy all of a sudden [03:16] kaiden, did you try it with the restricted drivers manager? [03:16] can anyone remember what I was doing? :S [03:16] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: probably a built-in intel video card... should work pretty well with compiz [03:16] #1, ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't drop out of xorg to a console, #2, the restricted drivers manager, has the one that is installed from apt-get [03:16] the apt-get version is old [03:16] although i have done it successfully with ltest commercial client [03:16] i already installed everything using a tutorial,it's just that when i try to connect it'll ask me for the network key a couple of times and then doesn't connect at all. [03:17] some issues with shadowing [03:17] craigbass1976, gotta love a lil graphical sexiness...compiz, beryl, and small things like super E make it pretty sexy... [03:17] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: if you're going to keep playing with linux/ubuntu I recommend migrating away from manufacturers like dell who put proprietary hardware built-in to the mobo [03:17] build the comp from the ground up [03:17] it actually showed the signal bars for a little while (which i assume meant it connected) but the internet still would not work. [03:17] thats the best way [03:17] _Oz_, This is what I had. I recen'ty bought a new dell with ubuntu on it, but the desktop effects don't work at all on that. [03:18] one more month to go for hardy [03:18] im stoked [03:18] in reality, with the monitor, keyboard, mouse, EVERY little thing including heatsink... a comp has about 14 parts [03:18] I do like this dell I'm on now though--been with me since fedora1 [03:18] kaiden, the restricted drivers manager is the way to go. it works great (in 7.10... it was *ok* in 7.04.) and ctrl-alt-f1 kicks me back to a console in a HURRY. [03:18] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: dell desktops actually seem to work okay with ubuntu but in general you want the ability to put exactly the hardware you want into the machine, and you'll have more fun with alternate OS' [03:18] Hey im trying to setup a smb share on my computer. for some reason this isnt working though. [03:18] how do u remove a program [03:18] i use kubuntu tho. [03:18] orionr, what exactly is screwed up? [03:19] my USB works great in Puppy linux but Xubuntu won't cooperate, what do I need to tweak? [03:19] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: did super-E work for you? [03:19] Viktorious, there's tons of ways. how do you install programs? apt-get? add/remove programs? synaptic? [03:19] apt-get [03:19] _Oz_, nope. What's it supposed to do? [03:19] Viktorious, apt-get remove. [03:19] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: it's an 'enhancement' over alt-tab which I like a lot [03:19] craigbass1976: i added this to the bottom of my smb.conf file. DOes this look right? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56919/ [03:19] <_Oz_> it gives you a 3D view of your desktop windows, standing on a pane of reflective glass [03:20] its pretty dayum sexy [03:20] haha [03:20] <_Oz_> it's like alt-tab but you can easily see what each screen has on it [03:20] firestarter is still crashing I think its the gksu thats crashing - can you run firestarter any other way [03:20] <_Oz_> it's sexy but more importantly, useful [03:20] arrrghhh, then i must be stupid, because in the restricted drivers manager i hit ctrl-alt-f1 and nothing happens [03:20] :P [03:20] oz, agreed [03:20] <_Oz_> there are a number of really useful compiz-fusion enhancements [03:20] _Oz_, and it's not like ctrl+alt+up or down? [03:20] craigbass1976: then i ran smbpasswd -a orionr and set a smb password [03:20] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: no, it's not [03:20] nah [03:20] not the same thing [03:20] kaiden, not in the restricted drivers manager, anywhere. the restricted drivers manager is where i installed the drivers for all my nvidia cards. [03:21] I use the window rules stuff a lot in CCSM [03:21] <_Oz_> I really enjoy my ubuntu desktop blowing away my XP desktop [03:21] craigbass1976: you can move windows from desktop to desktop. Pretty [03:21] as much as I do the eye candy stuff [03:21] <_Oz_> people that have seen it are like, "Wait, what is THAT? That's AWESOME!" [03:21] kaiden, and i think maybe kubuntu sets that keystroke for you. [03:21] oz, my box makes xp look like its running on a 486 box [03:21] hehe [03:21] <_Oz_> And I say, "That's the power of Linux, my feeble friend." [03:21] orionr, is this behind a firewall? [03:21] <_Oz_> wease|: yeah, same here [03:21] <_Oz_> It's quite powerful [03:21] can someone in here confirm that? ctrl-alt-f1 kicks me out to a console. i use kubuntu. what is it in ubuntu? [03:21] uhrm I think someone has changed my su [03:21] <_Oz_> I just wish I could run Photoshop and Illustrator natively in Ubuntu [03:22] its saying Auth fail with the right pass?? [03:22] <_Oz_> If Adobe would release Linux versions of those I'd be totally set [03:22] craigbass1976: no do i need to apt-get install samba? [03:22] Photoshop runs good in wine [03:22] oz, google is workin to make that happen [03:22] <_Oz_> wease|: explain [03:22] Is there a program that can limit the memory of a single process? [03:22] Carbonflux, which version of pshop [03:22] <_Oz_> MrKnights: if you find it, let me know [03:22] where can I check the temperature of the motherboard etc? [03:23] oz, you didnt read that google is working on supporting the photoshop for linux? [03:23] <_Oz_> Carbonflux: it doesn't run well in wine... I run CS2 in Wine and it is OK but a far cry from native in XP [03:23] hm, well I got 5.5 working a while back [03:23] let me find a link [03:23] in Fedora [03:23] <_Oz_> wease|: NO, I didn't! That is exciting, can you give me a link? [03:23] askvictor, your hardware has to support it, or you have to put temp sensors. [03:23] I have not tried 5.5 in wine with Ubuntu yet [03:23] su and root pass are the same thing, right?? [03:23] really I got used to gimp [03:23] <_Oz_> askvictor: do a search for "ubuntu screenlets" and install the "sensors" screenlet [03:23] im a slashdot whore [03:23] hehe [03:23] google is pouring money into Wine to improve photoshop compatibility. a small but subtle difference [03:23] Carbonflux, that's really old lol. [03:23] and don't need photoshop for anything [03:23] <_Oz_> you can get sensor for GPU processor temp, etc [03:23] oz, http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/20/1837204&from=rss [03:24] <_Oz_> jeez, just another reason to love google [03:24] yeeuh [03:24] arrrghhh, ya i have basicly stopped using it, I keep it around because its a legal copy and I use it in windows sometimes for basic stuff [03:24] anyone know how you set global and local users in irc ? [03:24] arrrghhh, gimp will do everything I need, I admit my needs are minor heh [03:24] _Oz_: do they provide logging? [03:25] gimp just needs to improve on their tool windows [03:25] adobe has the one thing up on them [03:25] well, its not like gimp is Open Source or something ;) [03:25] anyone using grub2? [03:25] connect irc.EpiKnet.org [03:25] haha [03:25] orionr, hang on a minute [03:25] gimp is pretty schweet [03:25] if gimp was open source someone might be able to fix that problem. [03:25] whats a MSWindows equivalent of GIMP? I haven't used windows in a while [03:25] *what is [03:25] there is none [03:25] unless you buy one [03:25] "As part of the Google/Photoshop initiative, Photoshop will now log all changes you make to images and make them searchable from within the program. They will also be able to be labeled with tags, so all blur changes can be tagged with 'blur' and whatnot." [03:26] gimp is windows compatible [03:26] CarbonFlux: what can a perons buy? [03:26] arrrghhh, ok i think the confusion was in what i was describing as what i wanted to do, i need to actually install the driver from the website, but i cannot do so until i exit out of Xorg into a regular console to run the installer [03:26] Carbonflux: how about the gimp? [03:26] Photoshop nano_ [03:26] what about mspaint? [03:26] gimp runs in windows ? [03:26] or microsoft paint [03:26] yup [03:26] yeah [03:26] gimp for windows [03:26] I did not know that [03:26] nice [03:26] I want it [03:26] gimp has run windows for yeasrs [03:26] grandpa: hows it going [03:26] * Carbonflux downloads [03:26] anyone in here use tor? [03:26] what is tor? [03:26] oh come on, that was funny -_- [03:26] sweetsinse, ADD kicked in...still trying to understand the tutorial.. [03:26] I always get gimp thru my distro's package manager [03:26] occasionalty [03:27] I did not realise there was a windows version [03:27] yeeuh [03:27] brb [03:27] its pretty schweet [03:27] i'm downloading a 2.9 gb iso but it keep failing md5 how can i resume it and get it hashed for completeness [03:27] glam: www.torproject.org [03:27] Google is paying $$ to the WIne guys to port Adobe Photoshop [03:27] <_Oz_> askvictor: not sure, but probably not. [03:27] nano_: yes I saw that, pretty interesting [03:27] i tried wget -c already [03:27] glam: tor is an anonymizer service. Basically a proxy server. [03:27] you dont have to do every step... mainly just get the packages from his repo.. then make sure you do that font thing or else freenx will crash [03:27] edward_, dump it in a torrent ;) [03:27] orionr, ok, where are you at [03:27] edward_, if there is a torrent for that file [03:27] does tor really work as advertised? [03:27] hello all, I've got videos on my ubuntu server, and I'm trying to watch 'em on my ubuntu laptop over wireless. These files are about 150megs a piece, but it's very choppy. any recommendations on how I can improve the performance? (I'm currently watching over nfs) [03:28] nano__: wrong again. there is no "porting", google is just putting money into wine to improve compatibility [03:28] <_bryce> I want to install Ubuntu on a thinkpad X61. It has no optical drive. What's the easiest way to install ubuntu on it? I googled, but all I found was some thing that involved using windows (!) to make the bootable thumb drive. [03:28] grandpa what i did was remove all the fonts under node.conf except one [03:28] use the file as the source and it will scan the file and then dowonload the missing bits:) [03:28] maxownz: Google is CIA money funded and therefore a pile of crap [03:28] kaiden, i know. on mine, kubuntu, ctrl-alt-f1 gets me to a console where i can kill gdm. [03:28] ahh bittorrent:) [03:28] <_Oz_> well, Photoshop "sort of" ports to Wine right now but it is far from perfect [03:28] <_Oz_> It's a lot slower to load, a lot slower to use and has transparency problems. [03:28] Z_o-s-o: yep, I get a talk from their developers every semester [03:28] nano_: is CIA money different from like money you use at 7-11? [03:28] orionr, I've never tried to secure samba shares. I've kept the netowrk secure from the outside world, then lef the sambe share wide open [03:28] Tama00, there is no torrent [03:28] unfortunately [03:28] Hope someone can help: its with my sound. Sometimes I can't hear video sounds like on youtube and porn sites, other times I can, and most of the time I don't hear my login/logout sounds [03:28] maxownz: sweet ill have to try it [03:28] <_Oz_> If you use Photoshop professionally, Wine is just sort of a neat novelty at the moment. It's cool that it runs at all, don't get me wrong, but it's not seriously a viable option for professional use yet. [03:29] craigbass1976: i think i got it tanks for your help i just needed to install the samba package. I though i had it because i had the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. [03:29] GIMP!!! [03:29] <_Oz_> nano__: actually, the FBI, not the CIA, funds google. [03:29] orionr, weird.... I'd have thought the same thing [03:29] hi [03:29] maxownz: seriously, cia (much like many other intelligence agency) are trying to get good ground on the internet...... that is why google has had such $$ pouring in. [03:29] they are neighbours with NASA [03:29] orionr, I guess I never checked before I installed smaba server for smb.conf [03:29] <_Oz_> TrustNoOne: I totally dig that you used the example of "porn site" for problem with your sound drivers. Two thumbs up! [03:30] ;) [03:30] _Oz_: fbi, cia....its all big brother [03:30] at least he/she is honest [03:30] !offtopic | nano__, maxownz [03:30] nano__, maxownz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:30] whats not to love about big brother, nano_ ? [03:30] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: GIMP is a long, long way away from what Photoshop can do. Sorry, I like Gimp, and I love open source software, but Adobe has everyone beat by a mile (as well they should, they've been developing this application for 15 years!) [03:30] I know, just tooting a horn... [03:30] hi [03:30] <_Oz_> craigbass1976: =) [03:30] I am trying to follow this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy . It asks to "1) Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and you will see that under the Firmware drop down arrow it says Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family and under Status it says Not in Use." There is no "Firmware" here. How can I enable it? [03:30] I was wondering how do I perform a search [03:30] Oloughlin75: i hope ur being sarcastic [03:30] anybody runnih [03:31] hello how to copy and paste all the updates that ive downloaded? the debs is in the usb flash drive.. i tried to copy it from usb and paste it to archie of the ubuntu desktop 7.10 ... still wont copy using mouse control.....thanks [03:31] oz...15 years?? try 25 years at least [03:31] i want to search just my cdrom on ubuntu [03:31] nano_, shouldnt we all love big brother ;) [03:31] <_Oz_> wease|: yeah, you're right. [03:31] uhmr [03:31] <_Oz_> wease|: I've been using it for 15 years. [03:31] hi anybody that can help me install my wireless from ubuntu 7.10 [03:31] my firewall just blocked 2 IPs [03:31] <_Oz_> I started with Photshop 2 [03:31] coming thru TCP [03:31] 25? Didn't we just have atari then? [03:31] hello how to copy and paste all the updates that ive downloaded? the debs is in the usb flash drive.. i tried to copy it from usb and paste it to archie of the ubuntu desktop 7.10 ... still wont copy using mouse control.....thanks [03:31] those hack attempts ? [03:31] I was just thinking of if there is a website where you can download free ogg music (obviously legal ones!) [03:31] matthias, you can use ndiswrapper if you have the windows drivers [03:31] !wifi > matthias (read the private message from ubotu) [03:31] <_Oz_> I remember being so excited about my copy of Photoshop 3.0 arriving at work. [03:31] I think I got mine when I was six... [03:31] haha [03:31] PS 3.0 [03:31] wow [03:32] makes me feel so old [03:32] $100 at toys r us [03:32] _Oz_: what all do you do with photoshop? [03:32] Kalamansi: where are you trying to copy it to? [03:32] <_Oz_> How about the TI-99/4A? [03:32] <_Oz_> nano__: print, web, billboards, you name it. [03:32] anyone know how to update Warsow from synaptic version to .41? I've done the download but am having problems. [03:32] hmmm [03:32] _Oz_: i never really got into graphic design [03:32] or web publishing [03:32] :( [03:32] matthias, sudo apt-get ndiswrapper-common (have cd in the drive) then ndiswrapper -i /driver/lic/file.inf, then ndiswrapper -m, and restart [03:33] <_Oz_> wease|: you remember 3.0 when it was new? I think that was when the layers palette really started being majorly useful. [03:33] <_Oz_> nano__: well... nothing wrong with that, really. [03:33] <_Oz_> Programming pays better! [03:33] _Oz_: i don't know about that [03:33] uhh i need security help [03:33] btw, anyone have any experience with setting up a Radeon X1300 in Gutsy? [03:33] !usb [03:33] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:34] I think I've just had 2 hack attempts [03:34] whoops [03:34] 3.0, for pc and mac [03:34] :( [03:34] <_Oz_> Z_o-s-o: no... ATI is pretty rough in Ubuntu right now. [03:34] maybe its your name thats proviking em;) [03:34] <--- AuraithX [03:34] blink148: its prolly ur torrent client [03:34] no its my dads thing [03:34] back then photoshop was just ms paint on steroids [03:34] oh right i know what you man [03:34] we all laughed about it [03:34] _Oz_ : I know that its pretty sketchy, i try to stick to Nvidia [03:34] no i wasnt using the computer [03:35] im on the mac [03:35] <_Oz_> So, what's google's angle? Why do they want to fund Codeweavers' Linux/PS port? [03:35] <-- nvidia sli slut [03:35] because my accounts keep getting disconeected [03:35] <_Oz_> Z_o-s-o: yeah, nvidia is the way to go (for both Win and Linux, actually.) [03:35] blink148: if ur a mac user, then u are in the wrong place [03:35] jrib : here in var/cache/apt/archives [03:35] <_Oz_> Nvidia is the best for gaming, best for graphics, best for Linux. Avoid ATI! [03:35] ... [03:35] !sudo > Kalamansi (read the private message from ubotu) [03:35] im auraithx [03:35] off topic city [03:35] oz, i concur., i have been nvidia and amd strong for linux for years [03:35] im using the mac because noobs are hacking me [03:35] _Oz_: uh nope [03:35] Z_o-s-o: i have a Radeon 2600HD that I can't get to work very well, but my Radeon 9550 works like a charm [03:36] oz....sad thing...amd owns ATi now [03:36] so [03:36] <_Oz_> Yeah, ATI is a crap shoot at best. [03:36] tables will turn [03:36] _Oz_ Yeah even the windows ati drivers are crap. Everything works right in gutsy cept youtube + compiz = high cpu load [03:36] <_Oz_> wease|: that'd be nice [03:36] i hope [03:36] maybe amd will force ati to give out driver code [03:36] <_Oz_> Z_o-s-o: I have an ATI card in this dell laptop I'm using right now... that's one of the reasons I'm not putting Ubuntu on it. === jimlay_ is now known as jimlay [03:36] maxownz : I have a radeon 9200 that works great as well [03:36] i want to search just my cdrom on ubuntu????? [03:36] that's been annouced like 5 months ago [03:36] amd would be willing to spit out decent open source drivers, right? [03:37] hows' thats possible... [03:37] what is POSIX error [03:37] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: you never know... [03:37] i have an old pc i bought fro the local college for less than $100 that runs gutsy + compiz perfectly on a 32mb grapics card. haha albeit i had to modify the compiz script to get it to w3rk [03:37] the support is getting better [03:37] can anyone see what im typing? [03:37] yep [03:37] wtf why does it keep coming up POSIX error [03:37] <_Oz_> blink148: I'm just seeing a bunch of fuzzy/distorted pixelation trailing off to the right of your name [03:37] edward__: Places -> Search [03:38] oz...lay off the white lightning [03:38] cmd line based?

[03:38] :D [03:38] _Oz_, it doesnt take much to run compiz [03:38] Hope someone can help: its with my sound. Sometimes I can't hear video sounds like on youtube and porn sites, other times I can, and most of the time I don't hear my login/logout sounds [03:39] no not at all.. sometimes i get black boxes whrer the vid card doesnt have enough memory to render the texture [03:39] edward__: see 'man find' though. Depending on how you want to search, you need to use -name, etc [03:39] any good program for watching tv on computer [03:39] mythbox [03:39] \m/ [03:39] like wintv [03:39] _Oz_ yeah ive got compiz running on a P3 750mhz 768 ish megs of ram and a Radeon 9200 [03:40] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: well, I have a P4 w/ 1gb of RAM and a cheapo on-board card, it runs Compiz without any problems but it's slow when the effects engage... [03:40] everything in my house basically has ubuntu installed on it, just one plain XP box the other is dual boot [03:40] <_Oz_> vrkhans: try the slingbox [03:40] hi [03:40] hey there - is it possible that ubuntu(or better say linux in general) lacks hdtv capabilities? when i try to watch my lost .mkvs every now and then video freezes for maybe 5 seconds and my laptop gets VERY hot - it is a pentium dual core inside(the newest, but the weaker version, although not the celeron version :>) with 2x 1.83GHz. vga is a intel(one of the better models) which makes compiz run flawlessly but lacks hardware t&l for games [03:40] like world of warcraft(but this shouldnt effect playback of mkv-files) [03:40] two linux machines.. both using the same samba conf.. with different names etc.. one works perfectly the other just asks for the password to the guest account.. [03:40] is there anything other then the samba conf that configures samba? [03:41] whats the best cd ripper that supports ripping to flac audio files? [03:41] coz,i dualboot before,anyone can tell me 0 ,0 sector' wrong point [03:41] _Oz how can i download that [03:41] Tokayla: What part of samba is it that you wish to configure? [03:41] "unfortunately" i removed windows some months ago :> so i cant test [03:41] <_Oz_> vrkhans: you have to buy hardware === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [03:41] i don't want to see my cd rom drive, hard drive, and external hard drive on my desktop. how do i get them off? [03:41] i am looking some software like wintv [03:41] the only reason windows is still installed on my computer is so i can use my damn softmodem. [03:42] genii im basicly configuring guest access to one folder and local user access to another [03:42] <_Oz_> question: where is a list of all the current (free) Linux distros? [03:42] just as a simple file server [03:42] _Oz_: wikipedia [03:42] is there any software like wintv in linux [03:42] distrowatch [03:42] search for List of Linux Distributions [03:42] vrkhans: TVTime [03:42] mythtv? [03:42] hi anyone that maed it with wireless car installation on broadcom wireless card [03:42] any expert in USB configuration under ubuntu here? [03:42] jrib : i am root. still i cannot copy the debs in my usb to my pc var/cache/apt/archives..if i can see the "copy" portion in usb flash drive but when i tried to paste in var/cache/apt/archives i dont see "paste" in right click [03:42] vrkhans, mythtv is like windows media center [03:42] (requires less typing than asking here) :> [03:42] jrib, what are u telling me to search for exactly? [03:42] i don't want to see my cd rom drive, hard drive, and external hard drive on my desktop. how do i get them off? [03:43] edward_: what are you trying to do? [03:43] <_Oz_> orkun: thank you [03:43] Kalamansi: what do you mean you are root? you are not supposed to be [03:43] i'm downloading a 2.9 gb iso but it keep failing md5 how can i resume it and get it hashed for completeness [03:43] bulazeem, its under configure desktop, icons or something [03:43] i tried wget -c already [03:43] matthias : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [03:43] bulazeem: open a terminal, put in "gconf-editor" no qutoes, then navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop, and uncheck everything [03:44] thank you [03:44] Tokayla: After copying the one smb.conf to the other machine and changing the 1 name, did you restart the samba?eg: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [03:44] mathias that works with gutsy too [03:44] edward_: how were you downloading it? [03:44] thank you Oloughlin75 and IndyGunFreak [03:44] from http [03:44] bulazeem: np [03:44] okey i am running 7.10 now [03:44] there isnt any torrent for it [03:44] edward_: if you want to search for a file named "foo", you do: find /cdrom -name foo . I'm just saying that since your question was not specific, you will want to read 'man find' to do whatever it is you want to do [03:44] i will try it, thanks [03:44] im ready for hardy [03:44] matthias : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [03:44] hehe [03:44] edward_: using wget? [03:44] genii of course.. [03:44] jrib : sudo -i ..then copy/paste [03:44] matthias : it works for gutsy too [03:44] even tried rebooting [03:44] i initiallyused firefox [03:44] <_Oz_> After Ubuntu, what's the most popular Linux distro, gang? [03:45] okey [03:45] wease|: so are we ;) [03:45] Kalamansi: paste the command you entered [03:45] :) [03:45] _Oz_, Kubuntu! [03:45] _Oz_ opensuse [03:45] <_Oz_> heh [03:45] _oz_ looks like pclinux according to distrowatch [03:45] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: not ubuntu flavors. :) Other distros. [03:45] Tokayla: Do you have any samba users on the machine which keeps asking for guest login? [03:45] edward_: wget -c is only going to continue downloads begun by wget [03:45] yup [03:45] <_Oz_> pclinux? What's its claim to fame, speeddemon8803? [03:45] _Oz_, PCLinuxOS is popular, too (meant to be super duper user friendly) [03:45] after detecting that the md5 was wrong i tried using wget but it stated that the file is already complete [03:45] speeddemon8803: ive been runnin gutsy since alpha...im ready for a new OS [03:45] hehe [03:45] _Oz_: distrowatch.org [03:45] <_Oz_> Is it safe to say, though, that Ubuntu is the most popular? [03:46] wease|: you only have to wait a few more months... [03:46] _Oz_: personally i dont like it [03:46] bye [03:46] Tokayla: What are the permissions of the folder which is being shared? [03:46] _Oz_: yep [03:46] I tried PCLinuxOS but I dont really like KDE and it was pretty clunky [03:46] _Oz_, id say so, but try out kubuntu :) [03:46] _Oz_: either Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS... but I'd say Ubuntu has more users [03:46] two_bits: april is coming! [03:46] hahaha [03:46] Hardy! [03:46] anyone know how to do x11 over ssh with ubuntu? === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 [03:46] IndyGunFreak: Definately, and..we have a forum..that is basically flooded with support, 24/7/365 [03:46] quick dumb question: i want to boot hd ubuntu from CD. what syntax should i use to boot /dev/hda2 ? [03:46] Z_o-s-o, you can modify the hideous gray taskbar, you know [03:46] I am trying to follow this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy . It asks to "1) Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and you will see that under the Firmware drop down arrow it says Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family and under Status it says Not in Use." There is no "Firmware" here. How can I enable it? [03:47] jrib : terminal: sudo -i .. then i type my passwd.. then i open the drive of usb flash drive, select all debs and ctrl+c then i go to var/cache/apt/archives then ctrl+v and still not working..i dont see the files copied from usb.. [03:47] <_Oz_> oloughlin: it's just Ubuntu with the KDE interface, right? [03:47] _Oz_: correct [03:47] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: it's just Ubuntu with the KDE interface, right? [03:47] genii all 777 [03:47] Sup _oz_... [03:47] _Oz_, not really [03:47] <_Oz_> fredmv! [03:47] how not really? [03:47] Oloughlin75 I dont like KDE is all, I think Gnome is better [03:47] speeddemon8803: yeah, i wasn't disagreeing with you, but if you looka t Distrowatch, PCLOS is always near the top(but i think that just ranks downloads... so its obviously people trying it, but i think people tend to stick w/ ubuntu) [03:47] _Oz_, its got KDE programs instead of gnome [03:47] alright, they got the same base [03:47] <_Oz_> Yeah, I'd have to say I'm a little happier with gnome [03:47] KDE is just a manager [03:47] <_Oz_> a little more stable, a little more user-friendly [03:47] IndyGunFreak: yeah, i got what you were saying after i read it, sorry :) [03:48] only thing good that came out of KDE was K3B' [03:48] * IndyGunFreak thinks KDE is the devil [03:48] _oz_: remember that SDL problem I was having? Still clueless as to what to do... lol. That's what I get for being a Windoze user for so long. [03:48] you can always swap at login [03:48] K3B is amazing [03:48] * speeddemon8803 personally loathes KDE [03:48] speeddemon8803: lol, no probl, this channel moves at the speed of light, it happens [03:48] <_Oz_> fredmv: which SDL problem? [03:48] BUT k3b..rocks [03:48] Kalamansi: no, 'sudo -i' only gives you a root shell. It does not affect the gui. You would have to use a terminal command like 'mv'. Alternatively, you should "exit" your root shell and run "gksudo nautilus". Then do your copying and immediately close that instance of nautilus [03:48] Z_o-s-o, umm, amarok?! [03:48] _oz_: this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=703137 [03:48] how's everyone doing tonight? [03:48] syntax to boot HD from CD ? [03:48] IndyGunFreak: amazingly i still get a boot up my butt for stuff even with the quick movements. [03:48] Oloughlin75 Amarok is ok, but I like XMMS for music, and banshee for all things ipod [03:48] ok was trying to work on this a moment ago and didn't get far. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10. Using Gnome as my window manager, and it's using the graphical login run level (Xorg). I cannot get Xorg to close out (ctrl-alt-f1 does not work). I am attempting to drop out of Xorg to install new nvidia drivers from nvidia.com... Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. [03:48] _oz_: if you could lend any insight I'd really appreciate it... I think it's likely something very simple that I'm just not grasping. [03:49] i like songbird [03:49] it rawks out [03:49] Tokayla: On the problemmatic machine, please do command: testparm this will dblcheck the smb.conf file does not have some obvious error [03:49] mozilla at its best [03:49] Songbird is sweet. [03:49] it's a great example of Gecko/XUL [03:49] totally transparent [03:49] fredmv: agreed! [03:49] genii says the files okay [03:49] i hope there is a day that all computer software will work on linux operating systems with little to no extra work :( [03:49] Tokayla: OK. 1 minute to think :) [03:50] <_Oz_> fredmv: can't help you with that one [03:50] uggg [03:50] <_Oz_> fredmv: keep asking... someone who knows how to fix it will eventually help [03:50] i even use songbird on my work box which is windows [03:50] bulazeem, that will be the day..as 90% of companies love their proprietary crap :P [03:50] genii it might be easyer to pm me .. its busy in here >_> [03:50] Will do, _oz_. Thanks for checking it out regardless. [03:50] anyone want to help me for a sec ? [03:50] bulazeem: only gotta wiat till microsoft releases something even more bloated than vista [03:50] PsynoKhi0: is that possible? [03:50] <_Oz_> fredmv: sorry I couldn't be of more help... good luck [03:50] Tokayla: OK. If something more comes to mind I will [03:50] the weird thing is that it used to work before; meaning I evidently changed something to stop it from working. [03:51] m0u5e: don't underestimate them [03:51] Grandpa! [03:51] i'm going to wipe out my vista installation and install XP pro my mom heisted from her job lol. [03:51] hello :) [03:51] m0u5e: they apparently didn't learn from the ME attempt... [03:51] heh, im sorry..i just love seeing that name pop up in here, get good memories :P [03:51] PsynoKhi0: lol [03:51] Nubbie, be careful installing that. [03:51] yikes, floodbot got activated :( [03:52] nubbie, it has a creamy filling that causes most people to become comatose [03:52] xTheGoat121x: why is that? [03:52] question, im trying to configure a server by an XML, you cnnect to a local address 127.0.0.1:7000, and it uses cybergate config, but firefox won't open it, what would i use to be able to do it? [03:52] m0u5e: not everything is bad with vista thoyugh... made me look into ubuntu, it's still something positive [03:52] jrib : okay done typing in terminal "gksudo nautilus" but i dont see my usb drive there in the "desktop" icon inside the gksudo nautilus... [03:52] <_Oz_> Help me understand something, gang. Will ALL Debian-based distros successfully install/manage updates for applications written for debian-based distros like Ubuntu? For example, does Firefox "automatically" work in Debian as well as PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu? [03:52] wease|: you do any XUL dev? [03:52] Kalamansi: it should be on the left or, if not, look in /media [03:52] _oz_ for the most part yes [03:53] <_Oz_> For the most part? [03:53] oz. .deb will install on debian base. [03:53] _oz_: I think they're all one and the same. At least, any deb package I've used has worked fine on Ubuntu... so... [03:53] <_Oz_> How do you know, before you install, if it will work, speeddemon8803 [03:53] <_Oz_> ? [03:53] might have some package dependancy problems in different os's..but should work :) [03:53] if its a deb based os and your installing a deb file, it should work in all debian based system. [03:53] yay, only 10 hours left until my audio is converted! [03:53] Nubbie, it depends on the license for it, and I'm sure that if your mom's company finds out, it could get her fired. [03:53] _Oz_: no. Each distro is compiled as a piece, it's not generally a good idea to swap around. Not all os package versions have the same dependencies [03:53] <_Oz_> Is there a goal for all the debian-based distros to eventually reach a point where they're all cross-compatible with each other application-wise? [03:53] fredmv, nah. i would if i were a full time programmer [03:53] _Oz_: as an example [03:53] trying to dual boot Vista and Ubuntu is absurdly frustrating. [03:54] Where are the GTK settings stored? [03:54] _Oz_: heh. No [03:54] ng0n: i gave up on vista this week and just installed ubuntu instead [03:54] jrib : i will paste it in var/cache/apt/archives right? [03:54] <_Oz_> ng0n: it's easier if you install Vista FIRST and then add Ubuntu. [03:54] Kalamansi: yes [03:54] i thought maybe something was wrong with my hardware cuz my computer would just crash all the time [03:54] <_Oz_> M$ likes to completely ignore the possibility that the user might dare to run an alternate OS beside theirs. [03:54] oz. i got Vista running. [03:54] xTheGoat121x: it's okay, they gave her her own license for it. it's not a group license. also, they terminated her contract illegally, so they can suck my left nut. [03:54] anyone had any experience with making livecd or liveusb with nvidia/ati drivers for running 3D accel games from (Tribes2 is what I'm wanting to run). [03:54] _Oz_: at least no active work towards that, I think many think it's a good idea but [03:54] wease|: yeah, I've only done minimal stuff, but it's pretty easy. what's cool about it is its minimal XML to get a GUI together, and then if you know JavaScript, you can make pretty robust, cross-platform apps. Very overlooked stuff for many. [03:54] i just can't get back into Ubuntu !$#! [03:55] what is the sytax to boot /dev/hda2/ from CD ? [03:55] Nubbie, all right then! LoL Nice snag on your part, in that case. [03:55] grub? [03:55] jrib : 240 debs total. is this fair enough? or i have to download all other "or" there is more updates that i want? [03:55] <_Oz_> nickrud: it's a bit confusing. How do you know which applications work in which distro? [03:55] now that i have ubuntu installed the system has been up for almost 4 days with no problems [03:55] Kalamansi: seems fine [03:55] jrib : thanks done copying. [03:55] xTheGoat121x: mmhrmm. and she managed to heist adobe acrobat professional too lol. [03:55] _Oz_, the repos help [03:55] How can I back up a partition to a cd? [03:55] _Oz_: ones that have been explicitly built for that distro. Also, nearly all interpreted languages (perl, etc) will swap around [03:55] <_Oz_> ng0n: did you install vista after ubuntu? [03:55] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: how do they help? [03:56] oz. yes [03:56] anyone is going to work on my starting 63sector of my disk,seems it is not right? [03:56] <_Oz_> ng0n: that's the reason why. [03:56] _Oz_, everything in ubuntu's repos will work with ubuntu [03:56] !grub | ng0n [03:56] ng0n: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:56] <_Oz_> ng0n: stand by, I'll give you a link to get GRUB back. [03:56] jrib : thank you =) how to download ahain all the updates of ubuntu 7.10 desktop mate? apt-get install updates+all is not working.... [03:56] Before installing Ubuntu I want to back up the ghost drive so if I ever need XP back I can just pop in the backed up dvd and restore. [03:56] _Oz_, assuming no dependancy problems [03:56] anyone is going to work on my starting 63sector of my disk,seems it is not right? [03:56] _oz_ no need now :P [03:56] T NX [03:56] Kalamansi: apt-get upgrade right? [03:56] <_Oz_> ng0n: http://apcmag.com/dualboot [03:56] fredmv, right on. i really like how mozilla has worked it out with their projects [03:56] sweetsinse, where is the sources.list located? [03:57] !sources | grandpa [03:57] grandpa: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [03:57] anyone is going to work on my starting 63sector of my disk,seems it is not right? [03:57] if i could just boot Ubuntu on the hd i could run grub. [03:57] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: what exactly do you mean by "dependency" problems? I vaguely understand. [03:57] /etc/apt/sources.list i think grandpa [03:57] my USB hub works fine in puppy linux but not in xubuntu, any idea? [03:57] i can't login via ssh to my computer, it says permission denied 3 times with the last saying (publickey,password), user is valid user on remote host, password is correct, accepted the rsa key what could be stopping it? [03:57] check out the last part, i do believe thats what you want :) [03:57] question, im trying to configure a server by an XML, you cnnect to a local address 127.0.0.1:7000, and it uses cybergate config, but firefox won't open it, what would i use to be able to do it? [03:57] <_Oz_> ng0n: read the link I sent you [03:57] icesword: phrased like that, no one even understands what the problem is [03:57] can't i boot /dev/hda2 from CD ? [03:57] ok ok. [03:57] <_Oz_> ng0n: this is what normally happens when you install vista AFTER ubuntu [03:57] Before installing Ubuntu I want to back up the ghost drive so if I ever need XP back I can just pop in the backed up dvd and restore. [03:57] i will tnx very much. [03:58] _Oz_, you cant have some programs install with versions of other programs, or they clash/crash/wont work [03:58] hello? [03:58] <_Oz_> M$ tramples your bootloader. Ubuntu is still in there but you have to recover GRUB. [03:58] jrib : it says there done. but still 240 debs... [03:58] ng0n: no, you have to repair grub [03:58] M$ is mean [03:58] !grub | ng0n [03:58] ng0n: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:58] Oloughlin75: like what? [03:58] jrib : apt-get install upgrades update is not working too [03:58] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: I've seen that link but I'd have to say the APCmag link is a better tutorial [03:58] <_Oz_> this one: http://apcmag.com/dualboot [03:58] i usually fix grub using the ubuntu livecd. [03:58] IndyGunFreak, i dont have a specific exampe :/ [03:59] im getting kubuntu for christmas..yay! [03:59] HEY! somene - I've got three possible attacks and my firewall keeps closing [03:59] sn00zer, got a firewall loaded? [03:59] j/k..downloading it right now :) [03:59] Kalamansi: but that's not what I said? [03:59] Oloughlin75: my guess si, there are VERY VERY few, and most users wouldn't run into them [03:59] I used sudo so now it shows an error - can anyone help out? [03:59] IndyGunFreak, I have :) i had like 5 updates that would break packages [03:59] wease|, just default settings i believe [03:59] MEMORY ERROR GSlice assertion failed sinfo ->nallocated > 0 [03:59] thats an update issue.. [04:00] not because you're using 2 programs [04:00] wease|, it wouldn't have anything to do with connecting over wifi would it? [04:00] whos who talking to [04:00] :S [04:00] sn00zer [04:00] nah [04:00] jrib : apt-get upgrade "yah i did this but it does not download all" .. any other way? id like to download it all because i want skype work and yahoo messenger work...

[04:00] Kalamansi: what do you mean by "download all" [04:01] jrib : maybe i really need all the upgrades [04:01] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: cool it down [04:01] Before installing Ubuntu I want to back up the ghost drive so if I ever need XP back I can just pop in the backed up dvd and restore. [04:01] IndyGunFreak, like you cant install x program because itll beak another program? [04:01] Oloughlin75: sure they *could*, but its pretty unlikely. [04:01] jrib : i want to download all the updates... [04:01] _oz_ my cooling pad is broken :( [04:01] Oloughlin75: olike i said, i think those instances are pretty few.. [04:01] Anyone know how I can remove the giant lost+found folders on each of my partitions? [04:01] jrib : and im not sure if all updates is 240 files.. [04:01] does anyone know how? [04:01] Kalamansi: apt-get upgrade downloads and installs all of the available upgrades for your system [04:01] sweetsinse, could you help me set up a secure vnc server...without nomachien? [04:01] Oloughlin75: i will say, 2 full years of running ubuntu, and i've never had an issue like that [04:01] i run a laptop with a belkin cooling pad....the fan seems to always junk on me :( [04:02] Oloughlin75: IndyGunFreak: there are some (off hand I don't remember any, but they are more common than you think) [04:02] I think someone is purposedly overflowing my firewall - this possible? [04:02] sweetsinse, machine* [04:02] <_Oz_> blink148: pretty unlikely [04:02] nickrud: amazed i've never ran into it. [04:02] sn00zer, tried it? [04:02] if one wants to install the libc headers (while installing the nvidia drivers) does anyone know the package name that apt-get calls it? [04:02] blink, unless your running ubuntu server, nobody can really touch your pc as all ports are closed by default in ubuntu desktop edition :) [04:02] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: FIX it! [04:02] IndyGunFreak: mostly obscure stuff that servers use [04:02] oz...i cant man...i tried :( [04:02] !nvidia > kaiden (read the private message from ubotu) [04:02] are there command line tools for ripping dvds? i know i can burn a dvd via command line [04:02] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: SHUT IT DOWN! [04:02] hi anyine have an bcm4328 zip file that is workimng [04:02] _oz_, when all else fails...FSCK it!! [04:03] <_Oz_> wease|: heheheh [04:03] oz, dun gotta scream at me :( [04:03] nickrud: well, that explains why i've never had the issue, idon't mess w/ server [04:03] i think im ok though [04:03] in xubuntu: hal-device-manager sees an USB key when I plug it in but I get no automount, if I mount manually, the USB disconnects after a few seconds trying to access the key's content [04:03] kaiden: build-essential and linux-headers-$(name -r) <-- those are the kernel headers, you need those as well [04:03] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: just trying to convey a sense of urgency... don't let that mother burn! [04:03] Ports - 5165342082 471 [04:03] jrib : yah apt-get upgrade.. done that. but i dont receive anything. it says reading dependency : done, building dependency : done, reading state : done [04:03] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: ok. Phew [04:03] I'm looking to find any files that contain "string" need to verify that as root if I run 'grep -r "string" /' this will produce that result? [04:03] nickrud: but i didn't say impossible, just unlikely [04:03] computer hasnt given me errors so im sure im ok :) [04:03] should be a space in there [04:03] grandpa like for session shawdowing, srry i ran to the store [04:03] Kalamansi: then there is nothing left to upgrade [04:03] jrib : how to force ubuntu website so i could download all the packages/updates? [04:04] that would take an act of congress [04:04] wease|, firestarter is disabled [04:04] sweetsinse, i just want to be able to access the desktop elsewhere...simply...securely... [04:04] can someone help me with a sound issue please? if anyone knows about sound issues [04:04] Kalamansi if it is saying done then it is done. there are no other updates right nopw for your system [04:04] nickrud: missing a u (uname) [04:04] sweesinse, i'm running out of time...:) [04:04] <_Oz_> !firestarter [04:04] 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). [04:04] sn00zer, did you try su -l ? [04:04] !sound | TrustNoOne [04:04] TrustNoOne: 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 [04:05] hide your wallets and peanuts! nalioth is here [04:05] prince_jammys: heh. kaiden a typo: linux-headers-$(uname -r) [04:05] If that fails, let us know :) [04:05] <_Oz_> I love linux's built-in supremacy over virii [04:05] Before installing Ubuntu I want to back up the ghost drive so if I ever need XP back I can just pop in the backed up dvd and restore. How can I do this? [04:05] jrib : hehehe im experimenting. i want "friendsblasterpro" work in ubuntu. also dreamweavercs3,photoshopcs3,directory submitter... [04:05] <_Oz_> and attacks [04:05] prince_jammys: heh means thanks ;) [04:05] jrib : i cannot afford windows license [04:05] _oz_: Me too! :) [04:05] right on _oz_ [04:05] nickrud: no prob too lazy to retype and didnt want to butt in [04:05] nickrud: :) [04:06] prince_jammys: I give you blanket permission to fix my screwups ;p [04:06] no one here knows? [04:06] _oz_, resiliency that the masses have no clue about [04:06] hi anybody have an funcional bcm4328 v1 zip file that works ? [04:06] sweetsinse, is that possible with remote desktop? secure?

[04:06] anyone tried running "friendblasterpro,directory submitter"? [04:07] friendblaster, wow [04:07] what's that? [04:07] jrib : thanks for your help, i appreciate it. =) [04:07] sounds like some form of windows virus :P [04:07] <_Oz_> wease|: yeah, I came to Ubuntu after a virus took down my XP box to the point I had to completely reinstall... cost me three days of my life... I already hated Vista so I knew I was either Linux or Mac-bound... I installed Ubuntu and the rest was history. [04:07] great name [04:07] prince_jammys : its like collecting all friends in myspace [04:07] <_Oz_> They can't get me anymore! [04:07] hey, I need a quick way to create an HTML photo gallery (on ubuntu 7.10) [04:07] speeddemon8803 hehehe [04:07] oz: thanks bro. all fixed (forgot the root (hd0,1) statement.. uggg [04:07] * speeddemon8803 puts it on my windows partition to see if it trashes it ;) [04:07] <_Oz_> Linux is so superior... just really wish the apps I need were all available in Ubuntu. [04:07] if it does..yay. [04:07] <_Oz_> I'm able to do about 90% of what I need in Linux [04:08] sn00zer: ssh host -l user [04:08] _Oz_, what cant you do? [04:08] <_Oz_> But for that 10%, I have to keep rebooting into XP which is time-consuming and annoying. [04:08] _Oz_: as in? [04:08] and also how to work yahoo messenger in ubuntu 7.10 desktop with voice and cam? hehehehe do you think ubuntu can handle this? [04:08] !virtualization > speeddemon8803 [04:08] <_Oz_> Oloughlin75: photoshop, illustrator primarily. Also AutoCAD. [04:08] _Oz_ yeah as in i was going to say 2 haha [04:08] speeddemon8803, could you help me set up vnc....maybe w/ a little security :)? [04:08] _Oz_: try qemu if you have enough horsepower [04:08] yes.. i have WIN aps I have to run. wish i didn't. not many... [04:08] _Oz_: ah..did you see google is sponsoring something with phoshop for linux? [04:08] what is so superior about photoshop [04:08] _Oz_: or you could try an alternative.. ie. gimpshop [04:09] _Oz_, blender is supposed to be a good cad replacment, and we already had the gimp discussion (no experience here with blender, but autcad is awesome) [04:09] _Oz_: or if you do some hunting I believe there is a guy that got it all working with wine [04:09] sdsheeks, wease| still denying me [04:09] <_Oz_> tyler_d: nonw of the emulators really do what must be doen to make these apps useful in ubuntu. it's just not happening. [04:09] oz. tnx agn. bye [04:09] gimpshop is based on an old gimp, gimp people say it doesn't have some serious bug fixes [04:09] sn00zer: what is the exact error msg? [04:09] <_Oz_> sdsheeks: I did see that! Awesome. [04:09] sn00zer, you need to go with single user mode....otherwise you wont get root access [04:09] <_Oz_> ng0n: you bet. [04:09] _Oz_: yup hopefully the get something rolling. [04:09] woo 3days 18 hrs of uptime [04:09] sweetsinse, how can i quickly and securely set up vnc? [04:09] grandpa im not sure, i know vnc is used to tunnel thru freenx, and thus 256 bit ssh, but i dont know if you will still be exposed [04:09] <_Oz_> tyler_d: I can't go to any alternate. It has to be photoshop and illustrator. "There can be no substitute" [04:10] hey everybody where can i funcional bcm43xxx zip file for 7.10 ? [04:10] wease|, i don't need root access, i'm trying to connect to a regular user [04:10] <_Oz_> Now for M$ Office, I happily substitute it with OpenOffice [04:10] matthias, youll probably need to use ndiswrapper! [04:10] _Oz_: then search through the wine documentation and start tweeking [04:10] Z_o-s-o: 8 days, 4:16 and that's pitiful ;) [04:10] sn00zer, FWIK ssh requires root [04:10] sdsheeks, permission denied, like a wrong password but i know its correct [04:10] grandpa i think you would still be visible to regular vnc clients on the stndard port [04:10] <_Oz_> But if you're a web/graphics professional you absolutely must have Photoshop and Illustrator. [04:10] <_Oz_> :* [04:10] <_Oz_> :( [04:10] !wireless [04:10] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:10] ^5 _Oz_ [04:10] GIMP [04:10] Why embraces http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/reference.en.txt many expressions with a character` at the beginning and a chaacter ' at the end instead of using two like characters, for example " or ' or `? [04:10] yes but i have that one ...oloughlin ... [04:10] _Oz_, Office is actually pretty good [04:10] GIMPshop FTW [04:10] sn00zer: if yo uare getting permission denied it is not even leeting you run ssh [04:10] _Oz_: no its not a must..... [04:10] can someone please give me a hand reinstalling grub. I followed the intructions on the ubuntu website but nothing is working. (this happend after reinstalling windows) [04:10] sweetsinse, here is what i did...i went to pref-->remote desktop..checked all the boxes...went to firewall and opened ports only for my other ip addres...and still cannot access it :( [04:10] _Oz_: GIMPshop FTW [04:10] someone say my name? [04:11] i think ppl ust learned on photoshop an have a harder time going to go [04:11] gimp [04:11] <_Oz_> tyler_d: it IS a must, unfortunately. No two ways about it. :( [04:11] speeddemon8803 [04:11] speeddemon8803: Not that I'm aware of... I could be wrong. [04:11] _Oz_, have you tried gimp with the mods.. gimpshop.. it rearranges the menu structure to mirror photoshop [04:11] hmmm [04:11] my notification went nuts [04:11] thank you captain obvious! [04:11] Rael, try supergrub itll install grub for you. great live cd [04:11] * speeddemon8803 shrugs..oh well :) [04:11] i have used photoshop once or twice, but have made a number of cool things with gimp [04:11] hello [04:11] sweetsinse: I learned on Photoshop, I now use GIMPshop [04:11] <_Oz_> If I was just playing around and not doing this for a living, gimp would probably be fine. [04:11] i am following and i strucions in the ubunto formuns where telling me to download an bcm43xx zip file but at the point of extraction it tell me the zip file might not be an zip file ... [04:11] wease|, i can ssh from the laptop back to the desktop without root involved on either machine [04:11] i need to help plss [04:11] _Oz_: I'm a GD. [04:11] _Oz_: for you its a must... I have 3 floors of web/graphics developers and only 1/2 of them use mainstream [04:11] <_Oz_> I have not heard of gimpshop, though. I'm listening. Tell me more... [04:11] nickrud yeah this is my laptop [04:12] !ask | ropiee [04:12] ropiee: 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. :-) [04:12] _Oz_: GIMP w/ Photoshop layout [04:12] Rael, check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [04:12] sn00zer one must be setup as single user mode and the other not [04:12] how to full screen remote desktop [04:12] While i'm here does anyone know of a gui for clamav? [04:12] <_Oz_> tyler_d: (shrug) we don't really need to argue over it. For what I do and the people I interact with, there is no choice but to use photoshop. [04:12] my only guess [04:12] im off to bed [04:12] rdesktop 192.168.12.106 [04:12] _Oz_: Filters are where you expect them, etc. [04:12] night folks [04:12] <_Oz_> redheron: tell me more. [04:12] Z_o-s-o: likewise :p (I do like suspend/hibernate) [04:12] peace weasel [04:12] oloughlin could my 7.10 be failingh me === syc_ is now known as psychode [04:12] I rarely use openoffice [04:12] i want remote my other computer [04:12] _Oz_: That's a "try it and see". [04:12] use windows 2003 [04:12] rdesktop 192.168.12.106:0 -fullscreen [04:12] <_Oz_> Also, tyler_d, what do you propose be done to substitute for illustrator? [04:12] Z_o-s-o: actually I was suprised it was that high [04:12] I have got better tools [04:12] _Oz_: right... I would suggest you at least give gimpshop a try.... I have it on my tablet and its beautiful [04:12] grandpa did ya get freenx installed [04:13] zelrikriando: i have to admit I installed crossover for MS office due to work requirements. [04:13] ok [04:13] ropiee, terminal server client applications/internet [04:13] thx speed [04:13] <_Oz_> I will check gimpshop out! [04:13] welcome [04:13] <_Oz_> Can you save .PSDs with it? [04:13] nickrud suspend / hibernate keeps the uptime frozen right instead of setting it to 0 again? [04:13] sweetsinse, yes, but vnc is easier...and i certainly want to try it...but, out of time :( [04:13] _Oz_: Yes. [04:13] _Oz_: yes [04:13] if that doesnt work ropiee, come back and we can try another route :) [04:13] sdsheeks, i'm pretty sure its running, it prompts for a password to connect to remote host, then rejects the password [04:13] ok [04:13] Z_o-s-o: I'm not sure, I think it keeps ticking [04:13] sweetsinse, have to catch at least a few ZZZ's before the sun comes up :) [04:13] i will try now [04:13] <_Oz_> Will fonts come across exactly the same way in the real PS? [04:13] wait [04:13] haha ok [04:13] sn00zer: then you get permission denied? [04:13] <_Oz_> kerning, etc? [04:13] i accidentally deleted the mysql root user, is there any way to restore the user? [04:13] sdsheeks, yes [04:13] _Oz_: illistrator.. hrmmmm.... thats one you will have to hit someone else up on man [04:13] sn00zer: could be that no shell is set for that user? [04:13] _Oz_: I've had to set up kerning tables, but yes. [04:14] Z_o-s-o: when I suspend tonight, I'll check. Interesting question [04:14] grandpa the speed of freenx is phenomenal [04:14] <_Oz_> kerning tables? that sounds scary [04:14] so worth the time [04:14] sweetsinse, that is what i've heard. [04:14] Hi - just wondering if anyone is familiar with ffmpeg. My -s option for size does not seem to work output streams are always 640x480 [04:14] _Oz_: Not half as scare as CS3. [04:14] i went to this page but can not extract this file menion ed in step 2d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-9192b3c227e128044894727c4b85a57abee8a0c9 [04:14] near local responsveness [04:14] oh, by the way everyone, virtualbox ROCKS! [04:14] _Oz_, illistrator maybe inkscape or scribus [04:14] johndbritton: you should ask on #mysql [04:14] nickrud i tend to leave by comps running 24/7 [04:14] now back to my initial question: I want to search all files for "string".... is it 'grep -r "string" /' ?? [04:14] s/scare/scary [04:14] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: what about virtualbox rocks? I haven't tried it yet. [04:14] can you ? [04:14] sn00zer: okay it might also be with the key [04:14] sweetsinse, what is vnc port number? [04:14] I tried supergrub but it did not work when I got the the part to reinstall it just locks up [04:14] hey everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me connect (wifi network) to my XP computer... I've read through forums, I have samba, and I can ping the XP box... but I can't seem to figure out how to access the shared files from the Ubuntu machine to the XP machine.I want to download files from XP [04:14] sn00zer: change to your user home dir and then to .ssh [04:14] _oz_:everything [04:14] grandpa, 5200 [04:14] _Oz_: You can run Windows in a window on Virtualbox. [04:15] my ubunto 7.10 tells me the zip file is not an zip file ... [04:15] <_Oz_> Scunizi: I could probably stand to switch from Illustrator since I don't use it as much, but I do need the ability to save .AIs and open them [04:15] sdsheeks, ok i'm in .ssh [04:15] <_Oz_> RedHeron: yeah, I knew that... I was just wondering how well it worked [04:15] _Oz_, you can run windows in a window on gnome, kde, xfce.. sorry .ai's are tough.. nothing doing here for that. [04:15] did i mention that K3B is the best linux program ever? [04:15] _Oz_: Illustrator is the only one I still switch machines at work to use. [04:15] sn00zer: do an ls and let me know if you see any rsa files in there [04:16] rael, boot into the recovery console in the windows install disk and type "fixmbr" and "fixboot" [04:16] hi all [04:16] <_Oz_> redheron: if I have to switch for one I might as well switch for both. :( [04:16] _Oz_, could you export .ai's as postscript or something and import them? [04:16] sdsheeks, only see known_hosts [04:16] rael, then use supergrub to reinstall grub [04:16] sweetsinse, for now is it okay to have vnc running and telling firestarter to only open the ports for my other ip? [04:16] sweetsinse, secure enough? [04:16] sn00zer: who is the owner? [04:16] is there a way to wipe my install to a fresh ubuntu without reinstalling the OS? [04:16] _Oz_: Virtualbox FTW. [04:16] sweetsinse, for now? :) [04:16] rdesktop 192.168.12.106:0 -fullscreen <---cant work speed [04:16] <_Oz_> Scunizi: maybe... but from a practical perspective, probably not. People expect to exchange those files freely with me. [04:16] sdsheeks: what formats are you using? [04:16] as in basically undo every mistake ive done in the past few days? [04:16] zelrikriando: for what? office? [04:16] sdsheeks, i am the owner [04:16] yeah [04:17] prohna, not that im aware of [04:17] For gedit's external tools, how do I save the open file as a part of the command? [04:17] sn00zer: try moving it to an old file and try to ssh again. [04:17] I mean what part of office you use [04:17] grandpa i would put oit on a nonstandard port [04:17] sn00zer: mv known_hosts known_hosts.old [04:17] <_Oz_> redheron: I'll try it... [04:17] hello speeddeaemon [04:17] dang [04:17] zelrikriando: project 2007 [04:17] can u help me pls [04:17] <_Oz_> redheron: how would illustrator run in virtualbox? [04:17] prohna, if you have a seperate /home just reinstall and don't format /home when doing it.. all your stuff will still be there. [04:17] sweetsinse, how would i change that? [04:17] i messed my install up its gonna suck to reinstall [04:17] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803, that Q goes for you as well... [04:17] _Oz_: Install Windows in the virtualbox [04:17] grandpa i set some ppl up before i had freenx ready so i could remote help them, and they started getting random requests [04:17] Scunizi: i dont care about my stuff [04:17] um dont know of hand [04:17] Scunizi: i just want an "undo" button [04:17] how to full screen remote desktop [04:18] _Oz_: Then install AI on Windows in Virtualbox [04:18] <_Oz_> redheron: heh, would vista install in virtualbox? (not that I'd install that monstrosity, but... would that work?) [04:18] ropiee are you using vnc [04:18] how do I get into the recovery console? I did not see that option [04:18] sdsheeks, still does it, do i need to do this on the remote host as well? [04:18] _Oz_: It does. [04:18] ropiee, i did tell you how to do that, did you take notes? [04:18] <_Oz_> I like the idea of containing Vista's evils into a little box [04:18] to remote windows 2003 from my unbuntu [04:18] sn00zer: you can try [04:18] ahh [04:18] sdsheeks: ok that looks quite specific [04:18] nvr mind i know nothing about windoze [04:18] sn00zer: this is what i was looking at - http://help.unc.edu/?id=6220 [04:18] _Oz_: It's not recommended practice (using Vista), but it does work. [04:18] hello are you there ? [04:18] prohna, depends on what you've messed up .. but most things are "un-doable" without a reinstall. [04:18] i`m type : rdesktop 192.168.12.106:0 -fullscreen [04:18] its one of the F-keys i believe rael. been a while though. just try to get into whatever options you can. [04:18] prohna, sometimes it's just quicker to reinstall.. 40 minutes tops. [04:18] to run terminal what is the command we use [04:18] matthias: nope [04:18] Hi - just wondering if anyone is familiar with ffmpeg. My -s option for size does not seem to work output streams are always 640x480. i'm trying to convert some flv files to use on my psp [04:19] zelrikriando: if there is an alt os program that i can use I would be all for it. [04:19] --fullscreen perhaps? [04:19] too bad [04:19] i am creating a luancher [04:19] it might be --fullscreen, i might have missed a - [04:19] zelrikriando: the other pieces word, excel etc..i can use Oo for [04:19] for the Terminal [04:19] but im sure its that flag [04:19] sweetsinse, how do i change the vnc port though? [04:19] matthias: you're not the first to tell me that [04:19] <_Oz_> darn, I was hoping to find a screenshot of what gimpshop looks like. [04:19] <_Oz_> Can anyone supply one? [04:19] so you are another lost ppl nickrud [04:19] what flag do I use to start emacs in terminal mode rather than graphical mode? [04:19] matthias: :) [04:19] _Oz_: Looks like GIMP except the menus are actually in place. [04:19] _Oz_: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=gimpshop+screenshot&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi [04:19] <_Oz_> redheron: realistically I'd just install XP in virtualvox [04:20] vrkhans, Applications/Accessories/terminal it's already there. [04:20] nickrud :) all on the ice ... [04:20] ubuntu ice at least ... [04:20] _Oz_: That's all you'd need anyway... Vista would be bloat. [04:20] grandpa im looking i dont know off hand [04:20] <_Oz_> oh... that screenshot doesn't look all too much like photoshop. [04:20] sweetsinse, k thx.. [04:20] <_Oz_> I have all the hotkeys down pat in photoshop... etc... switching to gimp just seems impossible. [04:20] _Oz_: As I said... GIMP with sensible menus. [04:20] _Oz_, take a look at krita [04:20] matthais do you have kzip? [04:20] <_Oz_> RedHeron: re: bloat, agree. [04:20] how use vnc??? [04:21] !vnc | ropiee [04:21] ropiee: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:21] _Oz_: i heard theres a plugin for gimp that makes it like photoshop [04:21] <_Oz_> prohna: yes, it's called "gimpshop" [04:21] _Oz_: I use GIMPshop, and the keys aren't all *that* different, they just take a *little* getting used to. [04:21] let me see i do not know..., thank you .. [04:21] Scunizi , i know i am creating a launcher on the panel , and it ask for the command to run [04:21] how do I get into the recovery console? i did not see that option [04:21] idk about looks prohna but it moves the menus to much more like photoshop [04:21] <_Oz_> redheron: your gimp-generated PSDs open perfectly in photoshop? [04:21] ok thx [04:21] Anybody know of any good gnome-system stats programs that monitor cpu,memory and stuff like that. [04:21] Ropiee, can I ask what is your native language? [04:21] grandpa did ya catch that ! [04:22] _Oz_: Yes, without so much as 1/100pt deviation. [04:22] <_Oz_> nano__: try screenlets / sensors plugin [04:22] joshua the basic 7.10 does not seems to come with kzip ... [04:22] Is there an IRC I can go to for PC building tips [04:22] sweetsinse, uhuh! [04:22] _Oz_: All the basics are there, and writing new macros isn't hard to achieve new effects. [04:22] <_Oz_> redheron: really? OK... I will try it. But as I said earlier, if I have boot outta Ubuntu for Illustrator anyway, there's not much point in bothering. In the spirit of OSS, however, I'll try. [04:22] _Oz_: yeah, but screenlets are only bits and pieces of what i want...i want a comprehensive monitor program [04:22] _Oz_: That's why you should get Virtualbox [04:23] vrkhans, just right mouse click the menu item and tell it "add to panel".. from there you can look at the properties and see what the command is. [04:23] Rael, if you dont have Recon installed - boot from your XP Disc, untouched disc, so no service pack 2 and select recovery console.. If you have it installed - press F8 at boot and choose recovery console (If not in boot.ini) [04:23] <_Oz_> redheron: it just seems like it'd be way too slow. [04:23] sn00zer: work? [04:23] sdsheeks, not yet [04:23] Joshua will kzip help me out with unzipping zip files [04:23] _Oz_: Virtualbox lets you run BOTH Windows and Ubuntu at the same time, and it's slower than normal, but not that bad, really. [04:23] Aggort, i think that would be an off-topic discussion, not sure...you can try asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:23] vrkhans, just looked myself.. gnome-terminal [04:23] <_Oz_> Redheron: yes, I understand what virtualbox is/does. [04:23] _Oz_: It's about like running AI and Photoshop at the same time, honestly. [04:23] mattias, it should [04:23] anyone is going to work on my starting 63sector of my disk,seems it is not right? [04:23] <_Oz_> maybe this is a good excuse to upgrade my mobo/cpu... [04:24] _Oz_: I did, for less than $300 [04:24] sweetsinse, thx...g2g [04:24] <_Oz_> icesword: my 84 byte partition is right, on my disk you work on? [04:24] <_Oz_> redheron: you upgraded mobo/cpu for less than $300g? [04:24] _Oz_: Yes. [04:24] _Oz_: And RAM, too... Mushkin. [04:24] okey let me search the cd and see, the 7.10 is an pain so far ... [04:25] <_Oz_> Here's a Q: I have an AGP nvidia card, a 7600... I don't want to replace it right now ($$ reasons). Is there a FAST, well-supported mobo/CPU I can get with AGP slots these days? [04:25] _Oz_: No. [04:25] np peace grandpa [04:25] _Oz_: Everything's going EIDE [04:25] _Oz_ : AGP is dead. [04:25] sdsheeks, i found it, it has a line "strictmodes" under authentication, on the one that works i have allowUsers with usernames [04:25] sweetsinse: he left in a hurry [04:25] _Oz_, check out www.tigerdirect.com I saw some today. [04:25] haha ok [04:25] _Oz_: ASRock still makes some [04:25] sn00zer: good job [04:25] * RedHeron shudders@tigerdirect [04:25] <_Oz_> see, that's my prob [04:25] aw, i hope not matthias. it just works differently than windows. if only broadcom were cool with open source you'd be set. [04:26] _Oz_: I have one with pcie and agp on it [04:26] Joshua tar, unzip and zip only in this distro 7.10 whatare you running ? [04:26] <_Oz_> I think, if I'm going to upgrade my mobo, I will have to upgrade the vid card. If I do all that, I might as well get a whole new machine. [04:26] _Oz_: My on-board video is nVidia 8400 [04:26] can someone help me fix my display drivers for an nvida 7600 on gutsy [04:26] Er... 6400 [04:26] if you upgrade the mobo you will obbsolete your processor likey [04:26] * RedHeron gives up. [04:26] yeah 7.10 matthias. i thought you wanted to unzip a zip. [04:26] <_Oz_> tdawgedogg: that's my setup. Did you use the restricted driver manager yet? [04:26] <_Oz_> RedHeron: heheheh [04:26] joshua yes .. [04:26] <_Oz_> RedHeron: thanks for the advice [04:27] _Oz_: np, glad I could help. [04:27] _OZ_: yes I did...nvidia drivers are in use [04:27] _Oz_: PM you? [04:27] <_Oz_> sure [04:27] joshua but the unzip complains that the zip file is not an zip file ...? [04:27] sdsheeks, its still not working... i restarted the sshd server too [04:27] sn00zer: and it gives you an permission denied eh? what user are you trying to connect as? [04:27] a user on the remote host [04:28] sn00zer: not root? [04:28] okay matthias, try 7zip [04:28] what do i install to get sshd working [04:28] Joshua : i do not get it , zip file from the ubuntu forum named .zip and not an zip file ...????? [04:28] sdsheeks, no, i have no reason to connect as root, if i connect as normal user i can sudo after connected [04:28] I have a rather odd problem and was wondering if someone can look into it. [04:28] For some reason I can connect to my server fine from inside the network, but from outside when I try to connect to port 80 I connect to port 81...I know this would normally be in the router somewhere. But I assure you I have port forwarding set up correctly and have not changed it in over a year...I just renewed my domain but I am not sure how that would affect anything. But it is the only thing that has changed recently [04:28] sn00zer: is this user one you recently created? can you login to the other machine as that user? [04:28] It seems this is true of other ports as well, for instance I can ssh via port 21 [04:29] sn00zer: from the actual machine i mean [04:29] not sure matthias, maybe a KDE problem. kzip is for that. Try 7zip [04:29] not on the cd :( [04:29] can I not run 2 firewalls at once? [04:29] whassup [04:30] sorry ... [04:30] the GUI for guarddog wont load [04:30] TheFool, port 80 is usually blocked by your isp..

[04:30] sn00zer: but not from desktop to laptop? [04:31] eh, can I run bulldog and firestarter at the same time? [04:31] sdsheeks, now i want to be able to connect to laptop from desktop but its giving me permission denied errors [04:31] joshua i am thinking downgrading to 6.06 instead ... [04:31] blink148, neither of those are firewalls [04:31] blink148, all they do are edit the rules of the real firewall, "iptables" [04:31] Gutsy is great imo [04:31] joshua and hope for the best ... [04:31] sn00zer: okay understand. My question was (trying to debug here) can you login to the laptop as the user you are trying to ssh as? IE from the laptop itself? [04:31] matthias i guess i don't understand what the issue is with 7zip [04:32] oh [04:32] well [04:32] and don't reinstall just yet matthias. what exact type of modem do you have? [04:32] sdsheeks, yes [04:32] i think he keeps overflowing firestarter so how can I get bulldog to start up? [04:32] as it keeps crashing [04:32] matthias you are trying to extraxt a .7z?

[04:33] joshua: bcm4328 version v1 [04:33] Is there any way to easily get the latest nvidia drivers via apt-get (without using the outdated one's that are in 7.10) [04:34] apt-get uses 100.04 which we are up to 169.09 [04:34] yeah im having problem with nivida drivers also [04:34] yeah restricted driver manager should handle that [04:34] the bcm43xx [04:34] Joshua, i did but 7zip is not on the list of programs to install under synaptic package menager .... [04:34] im using redstricted driver manager and im stuck in 800 x 600 res low graphics mode [04:34] sweetsinse, restricted driver manager only has the 100.xx drivers, not the 169.09 drivers [04:34] okay matthias, give me a minute to look it up for you. [04:34] ah is that where we are at [04:34] kk [04:35] okay matthias i think i have a partial fix for you.

[04:39] JoshuaRL: I have everything up to date but I still cant get out of low graphics mode in gutsy [04:39] anniku989 what version of ubuntu are you using [04:39] is there a file you can edit to add programs to run when the computer turns on? and if so, what's it called? I'm talking about when the computer starts by the way, not when someone logs in. [04:39] I'm not sure [04:39] so to system - about gnome [04:39] tdawgedogg: what graphics card do you have? [04:39] joshua funny to say but says that my system is up to date in the update manager ... [04:39] anniku989: gnome 2.2 is a really old version. You might actually mean 2.20 [04:40] yes [04:40] sorry about that [04:40] go to system - about gnome and itll tell you what version you have now [04:40] sn00zer: run this on the laptop ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N "" === AelatisLAN is now known as AEgmoney [04:40] hmm, I have 2.20.1....

[04:41] joshua i have something called p7zip and other things ... [04:41] sn00zer: run this on the laptop ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N "" [04:41] matthias: did you make sure that you checkmarked EVERYTHING? That includes the ones in third party and updates [04:41] tdawgedogg does it say something at least [04:41] let me check again ... [04:42] sweetsinse: hang on [04:42] anniku989 : Were you having problems? [04:42] How do I get just one pannel thing, with "applications, places, system, etc" on the same one as the bottom? [04:42] JoshuaRL: I have a 7600 GT [04:42] I've been looking around on the forums, and they are saying it is more or less worth it to install 64bit on my new Intel Quad-Core, I just thought I'd ask here, are there any really big issues with 64bit over 32bit? Is flash still a pain? Are video codecs? Are apps hard to install, if they aren't compatible? Does wine run fine? [04:42] bobbob1016: only thing i have seen so far is flash [04:42] anniku989: right click the panel and click ass [04:42] oops [04:42] add [04:42] bobbob1016: everything else "I" need to run works just fine [04:43] could someone tell me if there are any good video editing packs on ubuntu? [04:43] sdsheeks, ok ran command, restarted sshd, and trying to connect [04:43] does anyone know if you can install photoshop cs3? [04:43] does anyone know if there is a channel for hardy alpha, having some issues with my resolution and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf does not work [04:43] sn00zer: okay [04:43] and then choose main menu [04:43] #chat [04:43] oh [04:43] okay tdawgedogg. http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [04:43] Thanks [04:43] yep [04:43] reya276 join ubuntu+1 [04:43] props 4 you! [04:43] sn00zer: might want to move known_hosts to an old file on your desktop first [04:43] how can I see what's the actual VertRefresh and HorizSync being used? i.e: the default res is 1024x768 but i changed it in gnome. However gdm still is at 1024. I want to change it in the xorg.conf but I dont know the exact values. [04:43] lol [04:43] joshua, the update manager does not give me the option to check the settigns where was it again .. [04:43] sweetsinse: thanks [04:44] but [04:44] i can tell you dpkg is not suppose to w3rk anymore [04:44] tdawgedogg: thats envy and it will install and configure xserver for your card. [04:44] * TurtleOfDoom wonders how many people looking to install CS3 on ubuntu own a legit copy [04:44] can anyone tell me how I can safely ("casper"? "persistant"?) run gutsy server on a flash disk (actual flash disk, not usb thumb drive)? [04:44] on xorgserver, its part of the bluprint [04:44] sdsheeks, Codecs and things? Is the 64bit kernel that different that apps would have a difficulty running? I took a class where they went over processors, and they said the difference is the amount of registers that can be used in 64 and 32, but that shouldn't mess with apps, since they can just run with less registers, right? [04:44] matthias : system-administration - software sources [04:44] jaramillo: can see /var/local/X. [04:44] sdsheeks, still denied [04:44] joshua thanks ...

[04:45] sdsheeks, yes [04:45] bobbob1016: yea no issues other than flash...dvds fine etc.. [04:45] sn00zer: alright let me do some more googling [04:45] how would i go ab out running a ./start script without having to keep the terminal open? [04:45] sdsheeks, ok [04:45] Ok, thx.

[04:46] sn00zer: on the laptop run tail -f /var/log/auth.log and then try to connect see if anything pops up there [04:46] tdawgedogg: you'll need to install the nvidia driver, and let it overwrite your xorg.conf [04:47] joshuaRL: I clicked install nvidia driver again I'll let you know what happens [04:47] joshua, thanks 100000000000000000 times [04:47] no prob matthias [04:47] Its down [04:47] bobbob1016: the issue I have is there is no 64 bit version of the flash plugin [04:47] and welcome to ubuntu [04:47] goblin go to system -administration-users and groups [04:47] bobbob1016: on a 32 bit install with firefox it runs just fine [04:47] whats down tdawgedogg [04:47] JoshuaRL: do i want xorg.conf to be auto configged? [04:47] goblin : right click on the user u want changed and choose properties [04:47] joshua no problems ?????, i believe that you are a good resource, i am looking forward to help you when ever you have problem if i can ...

[05:17] Yes [05:18] All input sources are set to mic and nothing is muted [05:18] jenni : what type of soundcard? [05:18] now all I hear is a sort of humming static noice [05:18] hey jenni [05:18] how are you [05:18] I don't really know, but I do know that it doesnt have hardware mixing capabilities [05:18] hi [05:19] hmmm [05:19] do i know you from somewhere [05:19] jenni [05:19] I just switched to linux like 4 days ago [05:19] Tell me whyy, aint nothing but a heart ache [05:19] linux = love [05:19] heh [05:19] tell me whyyy, aint nother but a mistake === cuongkn is now known as dukevn [05:19] and it's so hard to get things set up, but my friend told me that once everything is configured [05:19] its easy to use [05:20] so far, ive been stuck on the "configuring" part for 4 days [05:20] tell me why... i never wanna hear you say.. [05:20] but i want ubuntuuuu [05:20] its my new irc remix [05:20] I was messing around with it for so long [05:20] and I got the mic to work [05:20] other way round for me - instals fine until you need to install a source app :? [05:20] please donate to my pay pal [05:20] How to make a network scanner workable? [05:20] and after a restart it doesnt work again [05:20] I am using sound recorder to check it [05:20] Tama00: please leave, you are offtopic [05:21] hiddensoul, thanks.. I'll check that out. -anyone else have ANY info on running linux on a flash drive? [05:21] jenni: how do you get it working? [05:21] i changed the encorder thingy in sound recorder from mp3 to wav [05:21] tkooda, its pretty easy man, just dump linux on the flash drive then install grub onto it and boot up on the flash drive if u pc suports it [05:21] *encoder [05:22] i dont see why that would fix it [05:22] neither do I [05:22] tkooda, you could just boot the live cd and install ubuntu to the flash drive and it would work [05:22] maybe because it was working but the encoder is messed up, so it played on wav [05:22] whats the othr big server [05:22] is it usenat/ [05:22] ? [05:22] but now when i try it its not working [05:22] Anyone get the 8800GTS 512 g92 in gutsy? [05:22] to work [05:23] jenni : open the sound mixer [05:23] from the terminal or the one with the gui [05:23] gui [05:23] ok [05:23] then edit -prefs [05:23] k [05:23] are all the ones with Mic in the name checked? [05:24] i didnt check the front mic ones [05:24] try that [05:24] because my mic is plugged in (correctly) in the back [05:24] Tama00, I don't want the OS writing to the flash drive constantly (to avoid dramatically shortening it's lifespan) [05:24] the check the levels in the mixer part [05:24] jenni L Oh [05:24] oops [05:24] tkooda: use ext2 and disable swap then [05:24] what do you have listed in the switches tab? [05:24] tkooda, just sym link temp, var home and swap to a fixed drive then [05:25] you mean Analog mix? [05:25] no [05:25] go bacl to the gui mixer [05:25] k [05:25] theres a tab labeled switches next to mixer [05:25] playback* [05:25] bazhang/Tama00, I suppose that'd work.. -isn't there some "standard" method of obtaining "persistance" with flash drives though? ("casper"?? "live-helper"??) [05:25] the only tabs i have is Playback, Recording, Options [05:26] hmm [05:26] tkooda: www.pendrivelinux.com has it all ;] [05:26] I have someting that is driving me completely crazy (which, admittedly is usually only a short stroll) ... [05:26] tkooda, you could do it in a similar way to a live cd and symlink it all into memory [05:26] usually theres a tab labeled playback and then nexto it theres one labeled switches [05:26] I want to remaster a Hardy Heron (alpha4) LiveCD using a custom wallpaper [05:27] I think that depends on the sound card driver thingy [05:27] !hardy | AnswerGuy [05:27] AnswerGuy: 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 [05:27] because my friend said that Alsa changes its thing according to different drivers [05:27] jenni : without seeing it i cant really say for sure [05:27] how to check if apache is installed? [05:27] bazhang, p-d-l.org has info on how to mount a (usb) flash drive and copy a livecd+installer.. but I want just a "gutsy server" [05:27] i use alsa on all 3 of my ubuntu machines [05:27] <[chr0n0s]> gold44, use whereis apache2 or whereis apache [05:28] But it seems to totally ignore whatever I put in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ubuntu-wallpapers.xml [05:28] AnswerGuy: this is wrong channel for Hardy [05:28] Tama00/bazhang, would it work if I just booted off non-flash-drive, then `debootstrap`'d (and installed "server" packages?) it? [05:28] jenni : you might try posting in the forums [05:28] [chr0n0s]: ok i guess not. i think it's in /etc/apache [05:29] if I turn on the Aux [05:29] I can hear myself [05:29] er sorry I mean the Analog mix [05:29] Sucks to have ubuntu installed and cant use it or cant stand to use it cause the drivers for my gpu dont work well at all :( [05:29] Okay, where do I go for Hardy? [05:29] Tama00/bazhang, and then tried to symlink /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/spool, etc.. ? -but then I still gotta kill klogd and sysklogd, etc.. [05:29] tkooda, remembing the masterboot record yes [05:29] Tama00/bazhang, thought there'd be a better way [05:29] O!!!!! [05:29] Ok so the mic works if I set it to mix [05:29] ?ard [05:30] but i hear my mic all the time [05:30] jenni : good deal [05:30] Ahh, found it. [05:30] hopefully itll stay working [05:30] mute it when not in use [05:30] I guess I can do that :S [05:30] i do that with mine as well [05:31] Tama00/bazhang, /.

[05:44] ahorriblemess-> first thing, make sure you can ping both ways [05:44] <_Oz_> ahorriblemess: yes, http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm [05:45] amenado: I've pinged one way, from Ubuntu to Windows [05:45] danbhfive : still no internet connection [05:45] Kalamansi-> do you have an ip address assigned on both pc's? [05:45] amenado : all dhcp.. [05:45] ahorriblemess-> you tried to ping one way, but what is the result? how about the other way? [05:45] do you guys recommend using a software firewall? [05:45] does anyone know why ubuntu isnt recognizing my clix2? [05:45] Kalamansi-> do you have an ip address assigned on both pc's? [05:45] Does anyone know why ubuntu will suddenly not let me open folders? [05:45] amenado : nope [05:45] amenado - i use dhcp [05:45] libcartel, only bother using a firewall if your a server and connected directly to the net [05:46] libcartel all firewalls i knew of are software based [05:46] It says "Cannot display contents of this folder," or something like that... [05:46] i thought routers had firewalls built in [05:46] amenado - no need to install dhcp server in ubuntu desktop 7.10 right? [05:46] Kalamansi-> it does not matter dhcp or static, you must have an ip address on each machine [05:46] amenado: a router with NAT is kinda like a hardware based firewall [05:46] Kalamansi no need to install a server if you are not serving [05:47] can anyone point me to the right direction of tryin to make my sli work? [05:47] danbhfive-> what make its a NAT or makes it a router? a software...end of story [05:47] Or does anyone know where I can find out why this is the case? [05:47] amenado yes. but still i dont have internet. i tried to assign ip still not working [05:47] mikebot are your permissions messed up? have you been running as root? [05:48] Kalamansi-> thats just the initial steps, getting an ip address, next is the route table okay? do you have a route to destination? [05:48] bazhang: I am logged in as myself, so not sure if I am root, and I have been changing the permissions on some other folders, but I haven't lately and this happens all of a sudden.. [05:48] amenado : im not good in typos script... [05:48] bazhang: Actually, I think it started when I tried to open an image with gthumb.. [05:48] amenado, yeah but its a separate peice of hardware not a separate peice of software [05:49] mikebot changing the permissions? that would likely be it then [05:49] amenado i use sudo ifconfig eth0 down and up still no internet connection [05:49] who can tell me why i insert my install cd,the computer tell me i should input the user and the password? [05:49] bazhang: But I can't open /any/ folder, and I was only changing the permission on one folder. [05:49] amenado ifoncifg eth0 down / ifconfig eth0 up [05:49] bazhang: And once I chagne the permissions on that folder back to 777 I still can't open it.. [05:49] Tama00-> your argument is what? what controls the hardware? software..end of story for you too. [05:50] Kalamansi-> do you have a working dhcp server? [05:50] mikebot why change permissions at all? this sounds very serious indeed [05:50] glad your not doing my home network amenado [05:50] amenado : i dont know. i dont even install a dhcp server. [05:51] lets just call a cpu software as well because its controlled by software [05:51] bazhang: Well it was just one folder on my desktop with personal contents. [05:51] what do I need to "tail -f" to see the usb devices I plug in [05:51] Kalamansi-> lets step back, draw the layout of your network now, as it exist, tell the whole story again..paste in pastebin please [05:51] mikebot backed up? [05:52] Tama00 you have toyed with microcode ever? [05:52] bazhang: No, but this has happened before, and when I restarted it was OK. [05:52] Can anyone help me - I have an IBM T23 running Ubuntu 7.1, and I'm trying to run some graphics intensive programs like Celestia - thinks are very slow. I think I need to enable Direct Rendering, but I'm not sure how that's done. I'm not a Linux expert. Thanks for any help. [05:52] amenado, yes i program atmel microcontrollers [05:52] hello people i just have installed my unbut and, why when i type "sudo apt-get update" i have this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56924/plain/ please can somebody help me? [05:52] mikebot then try rebooting to see if that helps [05:53] bazhang: I was hoping there was a longer-term solution. [05:53] Tama00-> excellent, i have no argument with you [05:53] mikebot there is--dont change permissions [05:53] amenado, why dont we just call everything software then and call it even [05:53] hello people i just have installed my unbut and, why when i type "sudo apt-get update" i have this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56924/plain/ please can somebody help me? [05:53] please can somebody help me? [05:54] bazhang: But the permissions were for a different folder...why would that affect all my folders? [05:54] Tama00 you win okay? you happier now? [05:54] how to check installed packages?

[05:56] mikebot heh well how about odd repos, envy automatix something like that [05:57] erpo: try looking into realvnc [05:57] what do I need to "tail -f" to see the usb devices I plug in [05:57] try /var/log/messages [05:58] komputes: lsusb [05:58] bazhang: Uh, I wish I could tell you something, but I haven't really done anythign recently other than download stuff [05:58] mikebot reboot (not as root) delete that folder; then see if that does it [05:59] when you get an error from synaptic "the following packages have been kept back: [list of packages]" is that a bad thing? [05:59] bazhang: How do I login as root? Instead of my username put in "root"? [05:59] Tyler, I fant follow (tail-f lsusb) [05:59] Eh? [05:59] sounds like he had synaptic or the update manager running [05:59] or: he wasn't root [05:59] mikebot: by default you cannot log in as root [05:59] !sudo | mikebot [05:59] mikebot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:59] mikebot: Ubuntu doesn't have a root account, you are granted temporary root privliges [05:59] ctrl-alt f2 to log into term... sudo -s to switch to root then /etc/init.d gdm stop [06:00] then start as root [06:00] bazhang: Oh, you said not as root. [06:00] does anyone knoe how to open a virtual hard drive to see the contents in it?? [06:00] komputes: just type lsusb [06:00] bazhang: Does this mean I have to delete the contents? [06:00] mikebot: rm -rf [06:00] mikebot your system permissions sound seriously compromised--try rebooting as normal user delete the folder and see what happens--who knows what you have done so a reinstall may be in order [06:00] Tyler, but that is not what i'm looking for, i need somethin live, always open that shows me what device i plug in [06:00] hey folks, for some reason wine keeps on segfaulting when i try to run an exe [06:01] mikebot: as root of course..... r(recursive) f(forced) [06:01] tyler_d: no, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, not sudo -s [06:01] anybody else get this? [06:01] sorry Flannel [06:01] tyler_d: no worries [06:01] tyler_d: I did. The version of vncviewer I have installed is from RealVNC (version 4.1.1). When I type vncviewer my:IPV6:addr:ess, it says "unable to connect to host: Invalid argument (22)" [06:01] bazhang: Oh, a real fast update, the folder in question now opens, and two of the sub-folders are present, but nothing else is...I'm going to reboot and let you knwo what happened..brb [06:01] erpo: what others have you looked into? [06:02] komputes try /var/log/messages [06:03] How do I use diff on a remote folder? [06:03] is there a way to find out what packages depend on another package? [06:03] what sort of 'remote' folder? [06:03] tyler_d: http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~acosta/paginas/vncIPv6.html (compiles but has the same problem) [06:03] cef: on another machine/computer [06:03] eg I have libqt4-core installed and I want to find out which application needs it and why it's installed on my computer [06:03] amenado, thanks [06:04] Frijolie: go into synaptic, right click on the package, goto properties [06:04] firefly2442: either mount the fs across the network and then treat it the same as if it's local, or export the filesystem using rsync and use rdiff (not 100% sure that's a good idea though) [06:05] cef: can I do it over SSH? [06:05] erpo: why ipv6? [06:05] erpo: not mainstream, although better.... or are you just testing? [06:05] where is cgi-bin 's default location? [06:05] bazhang: OK, all folders seem to be opening properly...But I kinda need to keep the contents of the folder that I started messing with...can I remove the contents and then delete just the folder? [06:06] mikebot check the permissions on it, and in the future do not change them if you dont know what you are doing [06:06] firefly2442: that doesn't really give me a list of what applications are using it, is there a way to do that? [06:06] bazhang: What's the command for checking permissions? Just "chmod "? [06:07] isn't libqt4-core the KDE libraries? [06:07] bazhang: And I thought changing permissions was pretty self-explanatory..rwx [06:07] tyler_d: Both machines have IPv6 and IPv4, but IPv4 has annoying NAT issues. I want to circumvent that by connecting directly via IPv6. [06:07] Where can I configure the password security level requirements such as minimum length and character types for user passwords in Gutsy? [06:07] Frijolie: thats qt, isnt it? [06:07] mikebot ls -la shows you the file perms, [06:07] Frijolie: if you go into the dependencies, you can change to dependent packages, is this what you want? [06:08] erpo: your better off resolving NAT issues as I am not showing alot in regard to ipv6 support [06:08] bazhang: drwxrwxrwx [06:08] erpo: and your router... does it support ipv6? [06:08] hi [06:08] danbhfive: that's what I thought. libqt4-core sounds a lot like it... [06:08] tyler_d: Not an issue. Both machines are using the gateway6 client. [06:08] bazhang: Should it not be that? [06:08] how can i know the apache version on ubuntu 7.04 [06:09] erpo: whats your nat issue? [06:09] erpo: if I may inquire [06:09] kaushal: you want to find out what apache versions are available in 7.04? [06:09] kaushal: what do you get if you type "apache -v" into terminal? [06:10] does anyone know where I can find out info about laptop wireless [06:10] tyler_d: NAT is being used, so I would have to set up port forwarding.

The us has killed over a million Iraqis. If I move to Canada will they stop? [07:30] zoso...thanks u helped me fix it [07:30] i'm having a hell of a time with my wireless card. basically, it works; works with WEP. [07:30] Need help with wireless. I have a D-Link DWA-652. It has the ID of 168c:0023. I installed ndiswrapper and the driver and my card is recognized, but when I try to connect to a network it does not connection, my router is configured for WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal for AES and TKIP, and only my intel card is working (doesnt use ndis) [07:30] <|GaiJin|> hey guys... I was hoping one of you might like to tell me what package I have to reinstall to get my icons and stuff to work, just installed ubuntu 7.10 and NEtwork Manager applet is getting a error, and I have almost no icons [07:30] what in the hell does it take to make WPA fckin' work ? :-) [07:30] doyle, I forget, but it does... [07:30] yea, trustnoone... having similar problem. [07:31] wpa_gui and wpa_supplicant don't seem to work right. [07:31] Insta: if something has an executable file does that mean it's already compiled? [07:31] AntiUSA : so you disagree with the US stand on terrorism.... [07:31] when ur downloading at 2kb a sec u get so excited when u see a jump at like 40kb/s for like 2 seconds [07:31] i managed to let my virtual hosts work. but i still got 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts [07:31] i got it to finally CONNECT to the router, and an IP address is assigned, but i can't ping anything.. [07:31] doyle, just use NetMan to start [07:32] AntiUSA: yeah [07:32] (NetworkManager or whatev it is) [07:32] anyone know how i can get some more compriz fusion plugins [07:32] I always just Net [07:32] ya my card wont even connect to nothing, i could try using WEP instead but... i have both versions of WPA with both types of encryption on my router and those arent working soooo [07:32] I wish I could remember how I did it to help you guys [07:33] it took me a couple of days though... then when I finally figured it out it took 5 minutes [07:33] sn00zer, you good with wireless? [07:33] tdawgedogg : you mean more than it caME with? [07:33] <|GaiJin|> is there a command I can give apt to get it to reinstall all the entire thing, seem to be missing some icons and sheit [07:33] i am using network-manager; works for WEP connections. WPA doesn't seem to connect, or doesn't connect and then work. [07:33] ok, so how do I add software that is compiled into my Application menu [07:33] TrustNoOne, not really, i only use it at my school and i vpn don't use wpa [07:33] doyle, does it ask for a key? [07:34] I dont like wep, it only supplies encryption for wireless network, not hard wired [07:34] not anymore. [07:34] i had ran wpa_passphrase and supplied the ssid and the passphrase [07:34] now it does not ask anymore. [07:34] i managed to let my virtual hosts work. but i still got 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts , someone knows why? i dont have in any file NameVirtualHost btw.. [07:34] mine asks for a key every time but it took so long to get it to work I decided not to play with it further [07:34] AntiUSA: just right click the menu and hit "edit menu" then add a thing for it and in the command part put the path to it (if you compiled it in your home directory, youll have to figure that out yourself, but if when you did "./configure" you didn't set a prefix, just putting the name will work) [07:34] TrustNoOne, vpn and wep are different [07:34] how do you 'clear' the saved WPA key. [07:35] sn00zer, i know, vpn has nothing to do with what im doing, and i hate wep, im trying to get WPA to work [07:35] WEP is a type of encryption [07:35] Hello folks, anyone got a moment for an installation question? [07:35] VPN allows you to access a remote network from another network [07:35] .gf.vbn [07:35] jfvbvc [07:35] jdfgfd [07:35] ,k,ckcvbcv [07:35] jfdgdfgdf [07:35] mjcvb/cv [07:35] TrustNoOne: i think wep and wpa are both wireless encryption protocols. for wired youd need a vpn [07:35] nix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:35] sweeeeeeeeeeet [07:35] ok comrad john [07:35] thanks! [07:35] vpn = virtual private network, that has nothing to do with connecting to a wireless connection [07:36] exactly [07:36] how can i clear the entered password for a wpa connection, so it will ask again? [07:36] z_o-s-o_: how do i choose what extension is opened with what application [07:36] TrustNoOne: right so if you want an encrypted connection regardless of whether you're using wired or wireless, you need to use an encrpted vpn tunnel [07:36] macogw, no, wep is wireless encryption, and so is WPA, but WPA provides wired encryption as well, its more secure than wep [07:36] TrustNoOne, in my setup the school offers unsecured ap's but you can only open one page with directions on using vpn to get full internet access [07:36] comradjohn : whats your question [07:37] doyle: if you install seahorse it should let you delete it from your keyring [07:37] macogw, im talking about encrypted on my home network, not over the internet [07:37] I still have to go to open with Xmms [07:37] ok. let me check; thanks. [07:37] instead of dobule clicking [07:37] I've just installed Ubuntu using a burned copy of the downloaded live DVD [07:37] wired encryption via wpa? ;] [07:37] and I'm trying to install a number of different development suites [07:37] for example, an Erlang package [07:37] tdawgedogg : right click the mp3 and go to the opens with tab [07:37] TrustNoOne, wpa is available and i connect to it with M$ but i haven't found anyone that was able to connect reliably so never tried it myself [07:37] TrustNoOne: why does it need to be encrypted between your box and the router on a wired network? do you usually have crackers, script kiddies, and wardrivers using wired connections within your LAN? [07:37] comradjohn : ok [07:37] getting the source to Erlang was easy enough [07:38] running ./configure like normal it says "you have no curses lib" [07:38] so I go looking for one of those [07:38] find it supported in system->(one moment while I look for the rest of that) [07:38] comradjohn: why not just install it from the repos? [07:38] !dvd [07:38] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [07:38] comradjohn: system -> admin -> synaptic [07:38] what up folks [07:38] yep, synaptic that was it [07:39] so I try and install it [07:39] i installed from the liveCD and it ran right the first time. even picked up my stupid softMAC wifi card. [07:39] ncurses that is [07:39] comradjohn: why dont you just install erlang from synaptic? [07:39] Oh I did [07:39] but we're getting to that [07:39] !info erlang [07:39] erlang (source: erlang): Concurrent, real-time, distributed functional language. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:11.b.5dfsg-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 26 kB, installed size 72 kB [07:39] macogw, thats not it, im trying to connect my wireless adapter to my router using ndiswrapper, but i am having no luck, my router is set to use WPA personal or WPA2 personal with either TKIP or AES encryption, i didnt try WEP but i dont want to use WEP anyways, but everytime i try to connect it just times out and doesnt establish a connection even tho the driver was installed correctly and is recognized [07:39] That's the one [07:39] yea, synaptic does a really good job with making sure you dont get caught up in a dep-hell. [07:39] Except that it didn't work [07:39] Here's the problem [07:40] Just about every other thing I've tried to install from any of the three package managers that have come with ubuntu [07:40] i get it to connect to the WPA/WPA2 , but i can't ping anything -- can't even ping the gateway IP [07:40] TrustNoOne: oo i see... im just not sure ndiswrapper does wpa then... [07:40] has failed [07:40] with this message: [07:40] (one moment finding a copy) [07:40] comradjohn: is it telling you it wants the CD? go to sytem -> admin -> software sources and uncheck the CD [07:40] macogw, according to my device ID and the list on ndiswrapper site, that it should be working, although my specific card is not listed, other cards that are similar and have the same device ID and chipset are supposedly working with WPA [07:40] Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071017)]/pool/main/t/tcl8.4/tcl8.4_8.4.15-1build1_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch [07:40] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [07:41] so yes, sounds like it is telling me it wants the cd rom [07:41] hey guys where do i go to install the cube? [07:41] comradjohn: yeah do what i just said [07:41] !ccsm | brian_ [07:41] brian_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [07:41] thanks [07:41] wait a minute [07:41] ok [07:41] if I'm unchecking this cdrom thing that means it'll download from the internet right? [07:42] macogw, also read on a forum that this guy has the same card as me, installed this distro of linux with ndis already installed and he just installed the inf file for the driver and he said it worked perfectly, he didnt say what encryption method he was using though, but im stumped because I tried all combos of WPA and WPA2 encryption [07:42] comradjohn yes [07:42] See, that's what exactly what I was trying to avoid by using the DVD version [07:42] hey how do i tell .mp3 files to be opened by a certain program? [07:42] But I guess if that's not possible I'll just have to hope the lappy stays good for a year :) [07:43] sorry I can't help doyle, off to sleep. I found my solution in the user documentation eventually I think [07:43] tdawgedogg : right click an mp3.....go to open with......expand command line thing....and type Xmms [07:43] comradjohn: if you disconnect from the internet and what you want is on the disk, it should work from the disk [07:43] right click, properties, open with [07:43] thatll make mp3s open in Xmms [07:43] umm [07:43] comradjohn: but you have to have the disk in teh drive [07:43] now I am confused [07:43] right the disk is in the drive [07:43] that part I got [07:44] it's mounted too [07:44] which command can I use to copy all the .iso images in different directories in my home directory to a directory called Distros? [07:44] no problem biouser . thx anyways. [07:44] How can I run public file server from kde4 in ubuntu?? [07:44] but what you're saying is that I can either be connected to the internet and trying to get apps that way, or have the disc in the drive and try and get apps that way, but not both simultaneously? [07:44] Z_o-s-o_: expand command line thingy...in gutsy? [07:44] i like installing 'base' from the CDROM. [07:44] comradjohn: i usually just install everything from online and take the disk out of my sources because of that error... but if youre offline and run "sudo apt-get update" the internet ones should be ignored and only whats on the DVD will be available [07:44] does anyone know of a program that will automatically download rss feeds of audio/video podcasts to my webserver? [07:44] once fully installed. i pretty much set my repositories to use the online ones. [07:45] so once up, i do a big, online, update. [07:45] Okay good to know then [07:45] then i start installing my custom packages. [07:45] comradjohn: i havent really had any luck being online and using the disk... i think youre supposed to be able to, but i havent really investigated it [07:45] sofiankrt: cp ~/*iso ~/Distros/ [07:45] sofiankrt: after you make the ~/Distros directory [07:45] tdawgedogg : right click an mp3.....and go to properties [07:45] hi folks. am playing a freeware game called "N, the Ninja Platformer". I get an error: ./n_v14: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [07:45] How do i get that libgtk file? [07:45] the idea macogw is to set this thing up so that it can run independent of the internet, to include, if necessary, reformatting/reinstallation of packages, from one of a series of triplicate ubuntu installation dvds [07:46] macogw: will this command work even if the images are in other directories in my home directory? [07:46] ´ó¼ÒºÃ [07:46] hello [07:46] sofiankrt: oh..no [07:46] Specifically, my problem is with the setup of bind. After I install it, the guide on howtoforge says to use it to stop the dns service. But when I do this I get this error: Stopping domain name service... bind. rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused. Any ideas? [07:46] tdawgedogg : then go to open with....click add....and go to use custom command (expand it_ and type XMMS [07:46] The "N Ninja" game is available at http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/n_v1linux.tar.gz [07:46] please help [07:46] bluebanana, Google the package name for it.. I think there is a newer version out.. then do your regular sudo apt-get ... [07:46] sofiankrt: thatd require a somewhat longer script to search through every directory in your home directory recurseively.. [07:47] macogw: that's the problem I faced [07:47] Can someone please tell me if and how I can copy and paste Firefox images into, say, Openoffice writer? Thanks ;) [07:47] tdawgedogg : that'll make all mp3s open in xmms [07:47] ph0rensic: what's the package name? [07:47] Does anyone else experience random freezing in gnome? I've used sawfish and rxvt for years and thought I'd try gnome again but it randomly freezes and hangs. I've tried everything I can think of to make it not do anything automatic but I can't handle this. In so many ways it seems like there is hardly any improvement in gnome in the last 6 years - the basic problems of it being unstable and eating crap whenever I do anything haven't changed [07:47] macogw: I actually have only 3 directories with ISO images [07:47] sofiankrt: are they only in a few or are they literally everywhere? [07:47] bluebanana, I dont know off hand ... [07:47] sofiankrt: ok then just do it in each of those 3 directories [07:47] xubuntu's bad.... [07:47] libgtk-1.2.so.0, ph0rensic? [07:47] Z_o-s-o_: is there any media players that can dock onto the bottom or top bars? [07:48] like to show what song is playing or whatever [07:48] james__: i wont argue as i dont like xfce....but could you explain your reasoning? [07:48] jimlay : I get pausing in gutsy too....you have an nvidia gfx card? [07:48] or to change song without maximizing it [07:48] Z_o-s-o_: yeah. [07:48] tdawgedogg : dunno bout that [07:48] But it doesn't happen with sawfish (no gnome) [07:48] jimlay : apparently its Nvidia casuing it [07:48] wow thats such a popular thing it windows too....you would think linux nerds would be all over that [07:48] macogw: but the actual images are in other directories in those three directories [07:48] sofiankrt: like you can do: cp ~/thing1/*iso ~/Distros/ then cp ~/thing2/*iso ~/Distros/ [07:48] okay this definately appears to be working now [07:48] my xfce always crashed... [07:48] sofiankrt: oh [07:49] than you very much macowg [07:49] macogw: with a mandriva folder, ubuntu folder... [07:49] comradjohn: no problem [07:49] !coc [07:49] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [07:49] i had accelerated X with my old(er) nvidia card on my gentoo-desktop; never tried it with Ubuntu. [07:49] sofiankrt: are they varying levels of depth? [07:49] and Z_o_s-o_ [07:49] np [07:49] hi can someone help to protect against arp caching attacks? [07:49] sorry i couldnt help more [07:49] macogw: I think so, yeah [07:49] sofiankrt: like would ~/thing1/*/*iso work? [07:49] that anything like an AARP cane attack? [07:49] nobody knows how to put music functions like to change songs on either the top or bottom bars? [07:49] macogw: I'll check... [07:49] what tools I need ? [07:50] arpalert? [07:50] sofiankrt: oh wait here's an idea [07:50] i managed to let my virtual hosts work. but i still got 2008] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts , someone knows why? i dont have in any file NameVirtualHost btw.. [07:50] bluefox83, it should be just libgtk1.2 [07:50] bluefox83, so sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 try that [07:50] tdawg, some music programs integrate with an icon there, and there are panel applets to do it too [07:50] How can I run public file server from ubuntu?? [07:51] macogw: they are at the same depth, actually [07:51] survivorman: how would i find something like this for xxms or amarok? [07:51] sofiankrt: if you run "sudo updatedb" your locate db gets updated. then do "locate .iso" to find the isos on your system. send that's output to the new directory, so "cp `locate .iso` ~/Distros" [07:52] any chan talking about security? [07:52] sofiankrt: the backticks (these things ` ) tell it to put the output of that command right there so it just puts those files into the command [07:52] why xfce [07:52] why xfce alway crashed? any matter with compiz? [07:52] LL000: i know a hacking channel on this server... [07:53] sofiankrt: oh, great! Thanks! I'll try it now [07:53] okay, great, it's installed and it's running [07:53] in /usr/bin, how do I set my path to include /usr/bin? [07:53] LL000: i dont know how up for teaching they are since theyre mostly buddies [07:54] comradjohn: echo $PATH [07:55] comradjohn: whats that say? it should say /usr/bin's already in there [07:55] How can i make sure apache2 wont be started at boot althought it is still installed on my system? [07:55] I want to be able to add keyboard shortcuts on gnome anyone can help me? [07:55] it is in there [07:55] hmm [07:55] hey! how do I check my ext3 system for errors and fix 'em? [07:55] oh nevermind [07:55] heh [07:55] it's "erl" not "erlang" [07:56] killown, System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts? [07:56] I had typed "erl" hit tab, didn't even look for the autocompletion hit enter and got erlang :) [07:56] kenade, I dont want change I want add [07:56] macogw: it's giving me a cp: cannot stat `locate .iso': No such file or directory [07:56] gort: you have to check it while not running from it....so from a live cd [07:56] ok [07:56] okay, right on [07:56] sofiankrt: the one after iso is also a backtick [07:56] thanks again [07:56] example I want add a shortcut for amsn [07:56] but what command should I use [07:57] macogw: I used the same keyboard... key [07:57] gort: fsck /dev/sdXY where X is a letter based on the disk (a for first, b for second, c for third) and Y is a number based on partiton (1, 2, 3 etc) [07:57] sofiankrt: did you "sudo updatedb" first? [07:57] macogw: yep [07:57] thank you very much [07:58] sofiankrt: and there's a space between locate and the . ? [07:58] sofiankrt: can you copy and paste exactly what the command you put was? [07:58] macogw: and I also ran locate .iso and it found everything [07:58] I read in the man page for update-rc.d that it is not encouraged for admins to manage runlevels and scripts.. [07:58] what tools would you recommend to use for that? [07:59] macogw: cp 'locate .iso' /home/sofiankrt/Distros [07:59] Is there any program that's similar to netmeeting? [07:59] sofiankrt: those arent backticks [07:59] sofiankrt: use this key ` not this one ' [07:59] sofiankrt: if its an american keyboard, that's the not-shift ~ [07:59] killown, sorry, cant find out how to do that either [07:59] hi i am new at linux, I have installed ubuntu, but after the sistem starts my monitor just shut down, can you help me wit this? [07:59] macogw: `? [07:59] sofiankrt: yes [07:59] kenade, no problem thanks a lot [07:59] macogw: great! thanks! [08:00] killown, maybe this can help: http://www.captain.at/howto-gnome-custom-hotkey-keyboard-shortcut.php [08:00] macogw: I'm entering cp 'locate .iso' /home/sofiankrt/Distros [08:00] ok [08:01] macogw: and I'm getting cp: invalid option -- U [08:01] killown, gconf-editor is run in terminal without sudo [08:01] macogw: and Try `cp --help' for more information. [08:01] yes [08:02] what tools would you recommend to use instead of update-rc.d? [08:02] Hi, What is the best app to transcode some wma to mp3? [08:03] why my monitor shut down, after the sistem loads? [08:03] macogw: still here? [08:04] sofiankrt: U? i wonder if your isos have spaces in the name if that makes a difference... ok try: for file in `locate .iso` ; do cp "$file" ~/Distros/ ; done [08:04] sofiankrt: yes i was experimenting [08:04] can anyone hlep me find blendercad . I install blender and i need scrpit for blender [08:04] <|GaiJin|> sooo,,, anyone know what package I need to reinstallto get all the icons and stuff?? [08:05] is there a way to make a trial driver that the trial has ended on work again? [08:05] ErikR: er well.... updated-rc.d is "the Debian Way" to manage that... "the Red Hat Way" is chkconfig which doesn't exist for Debian because update-rc.d is our version of it [08:06] ErikR: other than that, youd delete the corresponding symlinks manually which seems somewhat more risky than using the provided tools [08:06] okay.. the man page says it's not recommended macogw should I disregard of that? [08:06] yeah.. I can't understand why manual symlinking is recommended above the script.. [08:06] macogw: It's working! Thanks! [08:06] What is the best app to transcode some wma to mp3? [08:06] I have a linux-projects.org webcam trial driver and I bought it, but the guy hasn't mailed me the driver yet. the trial driver stopped functioning. How does it know it's trial is expired? [08:06] I'll read up un update-rc.d then :) [08:07] can anyone hlep me find blendercad . I install blender and i need scrpit for blender [08:07] how can I adjust screen resolution before the sistem starts [08:07] you know of any gui frontends for that macogw? [08:07] perhaps I should install webmin.. :) [08:07] but I have another problem. how do I connect to the internet wirelessly with my bcm94311 wlan card? [08:07] psi, actually [08:07] ErikR: well you can use the tools it suggested. debian's online thing says to use update-rc.d. all the manpage is saying, i think, is that its not highly configurable so other stuff may work better and its just meant as a simple interface for packagers to use when writing post-install scripts for their packages [08:08] ok, i installed all the required packaged, and installed libdvdread3 and i still can't get ANY media player to run a dvd... [08:08] ErikR: bum is gui [08:08] okay.. [08:08] it keeps saying it can't read the NAV [08:08] ErikR: it stands for boot up manager [08:08] cool [08:08] sofiankrt: install bcm43xx-fwcutter to get the firmware [08:09] <_ruben> !webmin [08:09] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [08:09] gxine says Error reading NAV Packet [08:09] macogw: I have the cutter, but what do I do with it? [08:09] any ideas? [08:09] sofiankrt when it installed it shouldve downloaded the firmware for ya [08:09] I have a linux-projects.org webcam trial driver and I bought it, but the guy hasn't mailed me the driver yet. the trial driver stopped functioning. How does it know it's trial is expired? [08:09] macogw: I've also been experimenting with ndiswrapper and other things, and I think I changed a few files. would that make any difference? [08:09] sofiankrt: well it shouldve, technically, downloaded a driver and cut the firmware out for you and then put it in the right place [08:10] sofiankrt: umm if youre using ndiswrapper, then the firmware has no use for ya. if youre still using the bcm43xx driver, you need the firmware [08:10] sofiankrt: if "changed a few files" includes blacklisting bcm43xx, thatd definitely have an effect [08:10] macogw: I might have done that... how do I unblacklist it? [08:11] sofiankrt: if its listed in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, take it out of that file [08:13] Can someone please tell me if and how I can copy and paste Firefox images into Openoffice writer or the GIMP? Thanks ;) [08:14] macogw: hmm, that's weird. I remember blacklisting it, but it's not in the file! [08:14] i had a random reboot yesterday on a new build of gutsy where can i find info that will help me know why it happened [08:16] maybe it's just not blacklisted? [08:19] Can I 'format' Wine, but still use it? [08:19] I think so. [08:20] But I think the best way to format wine is to apt-get remove --purge it and afterwards reinstall it [08:20] BernardB: what do you mean format? [08:21] macogw: actually it's not installed, according to apt-get. I'm installing it right now, it's extracting the firmware. cross your fingers! [08:21] who can help me with an livecd apache image (like pictures) problem? [08:21] Flannel, I mean: I've a lot of programs installed in Wine, but I can't delete them with 'Uninstall Wine Software'. It is taking too much space. Now I would like to delete all the programs at once. [08:22] if I do a find . -name '*.*' how do I exclude a certain filetype from *.*? [08:22] need to fix random reboots on gutsy where can i find more info on why its happening. Can anyone help [08:22] BernardB: everything you have for wine is stored in ~/.wine/drive_c/ removing the contents of that directory, will start you from scratch (except wine configs, if you want to remove those too, just delete the whole ~/.wine folder [08:22] pretender have you looked in your syslog [08:23] pretender, ==> may be you can have a look tot the output of dmesg [08:23] I keep getting Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 833 with my IDE CD drive -- I have a DVD in the drive, and I just burned it, but now it is unable to read it. Any ideas? [08:23] pretender: is your system overclocked? [08:23] no whiclooking at logs now [08:23] looking at logs now [08:23] Flannel, can I still work with it if I delete the whole ~/.wine folder? How can I delete them from Applications → Wine? [08:24] system not overclocked [08:24] BernardB: youre talking about through the menu? I have no idea how wine handles that, sorry. [08:24] bernard, if you want to delete everything uninstall wine/delete its directories. [08:25] dave, then install it again? [08:25] how do i view the output of dmesg [08:25] hello all, having a problem compiling mono develop [08:25] bernard, yeah [08:25] Flannel, thanks, dave, thanks: Will try it now [08:25] getting the following error: The type GLib.SList has two conflicting definitions, [08:25] it goes on to say i have to version of glib-sharp installed. anyone know how I can uninstall one of them? [08:26] leprasmurf, did you try removing through synaptics? [08:26] who can help me with an livecd apache image (like pictures) problem? [08:26] dave: can't find the specific package in synaptic [08:26] are there any people that are really good with grub [08:26] leprasmurf, did apt yield anything? [08:27] cause i cant get windows to load from grub [08:27] dave: no [08:27] jay, is windows on the first partition [08:27] dave: I'm not sure if it's a library from multiple packages, so I'm not having much luck uninstalling it [08:27] pretender: you type "dmesg" in a terminal and hit enter then view (read) the output (what it prints out) [08:28] dave, no its on a second harddrive a sata [08:28] leprasmurf, i would recommend googling for what package glib-sharp comes with [08:28] shit vad värdelöst [08:28] dave, want me to tell you my setup? if so, ill pm you [08:28] dave: I've found one, gtk-sharp, but I don't have it installed [08:28] done that what should i be looking for [08:28] leprasmurf, shoot. [08:28] gått upp 7 på morgonen, med tuppen, åkt genom rusningen från tyresö till kista för att gå på seminarium [08:29] wrt_: vad e värdelöst? att sitta här en fredags morgon? [08:29] dave: it seems to be integrated throughout mono and .net packages [08:30] leprasmuirf, let me drop into a window manager and get some background on mono [08:30] mboman: english only, please [08:30] macogw: sorry [08:30] dave can you help me out [08:30] dave: ty [08:31] mboman: unless you were just directin wrt to the channel for whatever language that was... [08:32] jay-oh-en , windows typicaly doesnt like to boot off of anything but the first partition its finicky like that. [08:32] dave: looks like it might be banshee, I'm going to try uninstalling it and see what happens [08:32] macogw: that was Swedish, and wrt_ said something like "shit what useless" and I replied back "what´s useless?"

[08:52] ok, i just discovered that my dvdrw has no group or owner defined...how do i go about setting those? [08:52] !hub [08:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hub - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:52] spoja yep [08:52] beacuse i had the same problem [08:52] ah ok [08:52] you'll just have to manually configure your network [08:52] once you get to the desktop as i did [08:52] chgown, gpasswd [08:52] oh hang on, now it thinks its finished [08:52] brb [08:52] restarting [08:52] k [08:52] dave, I have selected the human theme, and no visual effects.

[09:07] i want to use a special routing table for a subnet uning: ip rule add from 192.168.180.144/29 table special // ip route add x.y.0.0/16 via 192.168.10.1 table special [09:07] this is working fine, until reboot, than this routes are lost. how do i make this permanent? [09:07] Buffer I/O Error on device fd0, logical block 0 [09:07] Has anyone of you guys got gtwitter working? I keep getting connection error..

[09:08] nice Macogw [09:08] 1 sec ive been on red hat all week, let me look [09:09] nobody can help me? [09:09] omega42, dave: redhat uses chkconfig, debian uses updated-rc.d [09:09] what exactly is the issue with this error: Buffer I/O Error on device fd0, logical block 0 [09:09] yeah thats what i meant im all messed up right now from using redhat at work all week. [09:09] how do i make it so mounted drives dont automatically make an icon on my desktop [09:10] mboman: worked for me when i used it. dont ask how though since it didnt involve and fiddling [09:10] stupid boss and his anti debianness [09:10] macogw: cool [09:10] fuffalo, did you asign the mount point to somewhere other than your desktop [09:10] Hiya.. what's the first partition on the disk? I mean, where is it located, because I've read that the outside edge has the best read/write times... [09:10] dave: i only know because we use CentOS in my system administration class. all im learning in that class is in what ways RH and Debian are inompatible [09:10] 1st part inside of disk [09:11] dave, they aren't mounted to my desktop - they just automaticlaly get an icon there [09:11] dave so the last partition is the fastest then, if you were using gparted to layout a new partitioning scheme I mean? [09:11] ArthurArchnix: ive been told the first partition is the fastest... [09:11] macogw, yeah my boss is a centos advocate, so ive been playing with bridging and tap interfaces for his virtualization project all week [09:12] ArthurArchnix: it was the reasoning given when putting swap first was suggested to me [09:12] macogw: That was my understanding too, but it makes sense that the outside edge is fastest, since it will be rotating the fastest. [09:12] arthur, if your foing to get into that kind of nitty gritty stuff (negligable speed increase) use fdisk [09:12] ok, thanks [09:12] Can someone help me please? [09:12] macogw: hmm.. for me it keeps saying that it can't connect... [09:12] ArthurArchnix: the inside edge has the shortest distance to travel though because theyre small circles [09:12] i m using linux,and going to configure apache. can i inherit the permissions of parent directory into child directory and files.every time when we create new inside that. if it is possibel than how to do that [09:12] I've got a problem that I dunno how to solve [09:12] Dflamingo: don't ask to ask, just ask [09:12] xD, K [09:13] mboman: i dont have it installed on this computer. maybe something funny's going on at twitter? [09:13] and yeah macogw is right 1st part is fastest, its why i go swap, root, boot, and all the rest on a logical part [09:13] I just installed utorrent on ubuntu [09:13] And I tested the port [09:13] And it's not open [09:13] Anyone know the issue? -- Buffer I/O Error on device fd0, logical block 0 [09:13] How do I open it? [09:13] Dflamingo: are you behind a router? [09:13] Dflamingo: all ports are open [09:13] elcome to the µTorrent Port Checker. [09:13] A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened. [09:13] Checking port 38163 on 165.21.155.73... [09:13] [09:13] Error! Port 38163 does not appear to be open. [09:13] Ok.. thanks for that dave, macogw [09:13] Anybody can help me? [09:13] Dflamingo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:14] I keep getting that error [09:14] Ubuntu doesn't come with a firewall enabled by default. Instead it has very few (none?) network services listening to outside requests [09:14] Dflamingo: all ports are open by default on ubuntu. the entire reason thats secure like that is because nothing listens on any ports by default. if utorrent sets itself up to listen on a port though, itll receive data [09:14] And router = the internet connection thingy right? [09:14] Oooh [09:14] ok, here we go "udevd-event [2335]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [09:14] I tried to print from Dos Windows to Ubuntu [09:14] So basically, I have to use utorrent to open a torrent and it'll work? [09:14] Dflamingo: your router probably has a hardware firewall, right? [09:14] But I don't know how to connect it? [09:14] Dflamingo: no [09:14] Dflamingo: yeah.. usually labeled "linksys" or "d-link" [09:14] ? [09:15] yah, Mine's called a prolink [09:15] And I don't know about a firewall [09:15] ._. [09:15] Dflamingo: check the docs for that and look up "port forwarding" [09:15] Dflamingo: when utorrent starts itll listen on ports *on your computer* but if you're behind a router, the data wont make it past the router to your computer without opening/forwarding ports on the router [09:15] hmm [09:15] can I get back to you? [09:15] Rijoe: you are using dos? [09:15] * dave curse/loves nat [09:15] yup [09:16] in Windows [09:16] Can anyone help me with this error - "udevd-event[2335]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [09:16] dave: it's not that bad.. for most people it is actually pretty good thing... [09:16] Rijoe: any reason not to get something more recent, like xp? [09:16] okay, so one last question, before I call it a night, does anyone know how to get the mozilla that comes with ubuntu to actually go back a page when you hit the backspace key? [09:16] usually i use net use lpt1 to connect to another share printer [09:16] mboman, yeah i know. but it just causes me problems at work ^_^ [09:16] dave: the best thing with all this "home networking" is that people actually get themself a firewall in the form of a broadband router. and most of the time it "just works" [09:17] mbomanyup, good for them actualy [09:17] is there anyone in here? [09:17] my favorite thing is trying to predict all the client ports that my users will be using, so my firewall wont blacklist them. =/ [09:17] Yes [09:18] ahh...first time on an IRC program in ubuntu [09:18] JKalfer: this channel is never ever silent [09:18] i bet [09:18] comradjohn: yes (mozilla, back button) go to about:config and search for 'backspace'. toggle it [09:18] Thanks jakeg [09:19] hi all, has anyone else had problems with the compose key under Hardy?

[09:31] fuffalo: i learned it , :) [09:31] ahh hehe :) [09:31] trying to run a CVS command in a massive script on a computer that didn't have the CVS installed :) [09:31] hi, I am getting an error from sudo saying "unable to lookup via gethostbyname()". this is preventing me from sudo'ing. Any suggestions? Is it Live CD time? [09:31] I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS [09:31] cosmo: yes. HackThisSite did that to me yesterday when i was trying to close quotes and things on a text box and use Perl and all kinds of junk...instead of just entering a ; to end the bash command the textbox was gonna run and throwing my commands in after it [09:32] fuffalo: i see "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux" in my DMESG , but still i don't know how to use my wireless card , do u have any idea about that? [09:32] fuffalo, there's another way of doing that, change the mount points to /mnt instead of /media, that solution also stops any removable usb keys/drives appearing on the desktop - Just thought I'd add that as another solution if you want those to appear [09:32] yeah mine was similar, copying files over but forgot to show hidden files so it was leaving some behind [09:32] Oh [09:32] ghosTM55: you shouldnt have to do anything. that card "just works" on my laptop [09:32] About the wireless card thing [09:32] anyone know how to get rid of that key-repeat bug in gutsy?

[11:45] i dont need to install nvidia drivers from restricted manager and it still works [11:45] or any other drivers [11:45] it just doesnt have all the features [11:45] just change nvidia to nv in /etc/X/xorg.conf [11:45] and restart x [11:46] Anyone know what might be causing -unknown host- for some websites? Can't connect to youtube :x [11:46] restart x with restart x? [11:46] restart x with /etc/init.d/restart gdm [11:46] Lartza_, why dont you want to use them all the time? [11:46] /etc/X/xorg.conf is empty [11:46] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:47] then do dpkg-reconfige xorg and select the nv driver from there [11:47] then do dpkg-reconfigure xorg and select the nv driver from there [11:47] powertop shows it on the top [11:47] 'xcuse me :) [11:47] and i want to save power and my cpu [11:47] how do i configure amsn to have sound? i need to know what command to put in the preferences [11:48] i dont have to dpkg-reconfige xorg if i do the previous thing [11:48] can anyone suggest a good dvd viewer with good deinterlacing ? [11:48] Lartza_, fair point i suppose [11:48] hey all...i just install ubuntu 7.10 ..I did uncomment all the repos and I did apt-get update but is freezing on bzip2 99% [11:48] Lartza_, well, you could just use mesa drivers? [11:48] with dpkg-reconfigure it takes a lot of time because it asks you many other things [11:49] sudo tasksel install lamp-server <<< is that what i have to do to install lamp on the server ed of ubuntu 7.10 [11:49] hmm... dpkg-reconfigure doesnt do anything [11:49] asdf, it might be hanging waiting for a response from one of the repos. how long have you waited? [11:49] lartza@lartza-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg [11:49] lartza@lartza-desktop:~$ [11:50] I found a '.registry' document in my home folder.

[11:51] except that xorg.conf doesnt have any line containing nvidia, but ill look what to add there [11:51] tanath, a long time [11:51] Lartza_, you looked in the wrong place before [11:51] tanath, an hour !! [11:51] ndeah: maybe you use a program like picasa or ie4linux or some other program that is using wine [11:51] tanath: no wine installed. samba server? [11:51] when and where??? [11:51] ndeah, not sure, but i have it to, and i do use wine... [11:51] /etc/X/xorg.conf is empty [11:52] ndeah, has a couple windows registry entries, which i figure wine would use... [11:52] what is ArchLinux ? [11:52] weel someone suggested me that [11:52] tanath: this is weird... [11:52] ndeah: You can allways delete/rename it and see what program chrases :) [11:52] asdf, did you try stopping it, and trying it again? [11:52] just change nvidia to nv in /etc/X/xorg.conf [11:52] it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and the driver you use by default is nv, i think [11:52] asdf, ctrl+c to cancel, then try again [11:52] tanath, did t hat [11:52] lollo_: Archlinux is a distribution of Linux [11:52] Wander_w: wonderful idea :) [11:52] asdf, if it still hangs, check your repos to figure out which is the problem [11:52] Lartza_, yes - oversight on his part - as I said, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:53] uh okz [11:53] i know [11:53] asdf, if you update in synaptic you should be able to see which is the problem [11:54] Lartza_, correct X11 instead of X [11:54] i know it already [11:54] i know you know [11:54] Anyone know what might be causing -unknown host- for some websites? Can't connect to youtube :x [11:54] Lartza_, okay, so you've found the device section in there - what driver is it currentl using? [11:55] Lartza_, ^currently [11:55] nvidia because i have configured it so [11:55] Lartza_, open xorg.conf hit control f for search and enter nvidia [11:55] Lartza_, so - as rod said before, just change it back to 'nv' [11:55] i could make two xorg files and tow scripts that change the files and restart c [11:55] restart x [11:56] are there any commandline/terminal sound apps installed by default? [11:56] Lartza_, ah, you want to be able to switch between them? [11:56] yes! [11:56] tanath, like mp3 players? [11:56] rod, i'm trying to configure amsn to have sound. need a command for prefs [11:56] when i need 3d i use it and when i save power and cpu i use the other [11:56] hi all. how can i autostart a script as a user on boot time? [11:57] rod, mplayer works, but keeps spitting lots of useless info into .xsession-errors [11:57] im not sure how to make scripts(will .sh do it) but im fast to learn [11:57] Hi, is it possible to start an application with a pid of your choice? [11:58] tanath, ah sry... dont know nothing about mplayer [11:58] ; [11:58] rod, there's a tip/example there that says 'esdplay' and i use esd... but there is no esdplay [11:59] does the server edition of ubuntu 7.10 come with lamp [11:59] what do i need to add to the first line of sh script? #/bin/bash? [11:59] Lartza_, well - if you wanted to do it by script, you could - there are probably people far better placed than me to tell you how. but... a quick and dirty method would be to have two xorg.confs, say xorg.conf.nv and xorg.conf.nvidia - nd make a shell script which just does mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf startx but i'll probably get flamed for suggesting somethig so inelegant [11:59] yes native [11:59] Lartza_, !#/bin/bash [11:59] ok, thx [11:59] Lartza_, nearly - #! /bin/bash [11:59] i tried to intall it but it said it couldnt find it [11:59] at unholymarriage [11:59] oops [12:00] tanath ;) [12:00] what to i type [12:00] SleepingSloth, not the first time i've done that :/ [12:00] * xoRock status: [Away: BOT was idle for 60 minute(s) Auto Away] [Since: 17:30-LMJ] [AwayPager: on] [AwayLog: on] [12:00] !#/bin/bash or #! /bin/bash?

[12:02] tanath - i think i always have :S [12:02] SleepingSloth, it works with a space? [12:02] tanath, yep [12:02] SleepingSloth, well, i've never seen one used [12:02] * _ oPP .. PUlang..

[12:03] ndeah, i'm sure there's something useful by default though [12:04] ndeah, there should be something for esd [12:04] but 'esd' doesn't work [12:04] i just want sound in amsn without using mplayer [12:04] was it that using framebuffer uses cpu? [12:05] are there any programs to let you see what's using how much ram? [12:05] does anyone use amsn? [12:05] scraga1: top [12:05] scraga1, there's a system monitor thingy in the menu i believe... [12:06] scraga1: and maybe free and/or gkrellim [12:06] anyone use amsn? and can you tell me how you have your sound configured? [12:06] was it that using framebuffer uses cpu and disabling it reduces cpu usage [12:06] (in amsn prefs) [12:07] is libdvdcss2 broken on amd64 ?

It works okay but after some time it gives error and wont print [12:27] kn4rF, maybe there is an ubuntu-studio channel that can help? [12:27] is there anyone here who administers the mailing lists? it seems that a Gentoo guy gets BCC'ed on everything that goes to ubuntu-users and yet he never subscribed. [12:28] itai-michaelson, ty [12:28] ubuntu-studio has forums too i am sure [12:28] :) [12:28] he's like his address to be forcefully unsubscribed from ubuntu-users@ list. [12:29] does framebuffer use cpu? should i enable or disable it? [12:29] which sql server is most closely related to micro soft sql server? [12:29] Lartza_: yesterdya i was told when configuring my nvidia card to disable it ... and it hasn't had any trouble for me [12:31] lartza - from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [12:31] whats the device port of mouse? [12:31] Q-FUNK, this page should help, its got a contact email, although the user would probably need to request the removal from the address receiving the emails https://lists.ubuntu.com/ [12:31] The use of the framebuffer functionality is more or less optional since, in Xorg, many video card drivers communicate with the video card hardware directly in order to provide you with accelerated graphics, correct resolutions, etc. [12:32] kn4rf - #ubuntustudio, #ubuntustudio-es and #ubuntustudio-fr on irc.freenode.net [12:32] i updated ALSA and now i have no sound. it says no gstreamer plugin found. what should i do? [12:32] dgjones: my understanding i that he tried that already and got no response [12:33] Q-FUNK: let him subscribe, then unsubscribe? [12:33] i have framebuffer disabled now... [12:33] Q-FUNK, try this https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users there's another couple of contact emails at the bottom of that page [12:33] unholymarriage, i'm just there, thanks [12:33] is that good or bad? [12:33] gothy: he tried that already too [12:34] i updated ALSA and now i have no sound. it says no gstreamer plugin found. what should i do? [12:35] hi my javascript files seems to have a "text/matlab" mimetype in their properties, I haven't edit anything, how can i fix this? [12:35] hello [12:36] lartza, according to the wiki it shouldn't make a difference in most cases once X is loaded [12:36] you might not get a graphical bootup screen though [12:36] hi guys. i updated ALSA and now i have no sound. it says no gstreamer plugin found. what should i do? [12:36] is there any other xorg configuration than xserver-xorg that asks only resolutions used and driver or something like that, not about mouse and keyboard etc. [12:37] I'm trying to get my monitor (HP w1907 19inch LCD Monitor) to work properly with ubuntu and i can't find anything for it [12:37] mb892387 [12:37] hey [12:37] Lartza_: xorg requires to know also about your keyboard and mouse to function properly. [12:38] but if i dont everytime want to configure whole xorg, oonly the resolutions etc. [12:38] does anyone know why, when visual effects are enabled, some windows can only be resized on some corners? [12:38] and what does framebuffer affect, tell me simply [12:38] for example, I can only resize xine video on the top left corner [12:38] Lartza_: most of the settings are good on default ones. For framebuffer, someone gave you a link. Also google? [12:38] Hello, everyone. Have anyone with a compatible (AMD x2 64) processor ever had the "could not load kvm-amd: Operation not permitted" error ? [12:39] and not in the (ocidental obvious) bottom right [12:39] I just yesterday installed ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop [12:39] i didnt understand text on that link :S [12:39] and searched google [12:39] it did work until i used the nvidia unopen source. [12:39] Now the laptop freeze after just used it a little bit [12:39] hey cooling have you tried to install said plug ins ?? [12:39] Why Does this happend ? [12:39] then restrict your driver raid [12:39] nsna: something problems with the restrict drivers for nvidia ? [12:40] so nobody knows simply where framebuffer is used? === s_unix is now known as karron [12:40] not in finnish channel either [12:40] raidghost: if i'm not mistaken if you restrict the driver it'll only use driver from the proprietary vendor [12:41] nsna: so that can be the problem why it locks up [12:41] And doesnt do anything? [12:41] does restarting x take you back to login screen? [12:41] hey all. is there an ubuntu room for beginners looking for help? [12:41] yes [12:41] jarrettgreen, this is it [12:41] jarrettgreen: yes, this? [12:41] I'm a total newb with linux [12:41] please help digg my this item: "Cross-platform RAD tools critical to Linux's desktop future": http://digg.com/linux_unix/Cross_platform_RAD_tools_critical_to_Linux_s_desktop_future [12:41] okey nsna. then i try to remove the nvidia driver [12:42] I own a design firm, and we wanted to get a simple lamp server up and running for in house development and testing [12:42] and see if the laptop works better without [12:42] jarrettgreen: we all started like newbs :-) just ask and we'll try and help [12:42] so I dl'd dapper drake [12:42] gothy: Could there be some bugs in the nvidia closed driver code? [12:42] jarrettgreen: why not gutsy gibbon? [12:42] and followed this tut http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06 [12:43] raidghost: there are always bugs in any complex program [12:43] 6.06 [12:43] dunno. I liked the idea of the lts i guess [12:43] ok [12:43] is 7.10 bad then? [12:43] no [12:43] anyway the tut has leaves off with installing ispconfig [12:43] I don't know if we need these [12:43] and I can't get it to work anyway [12:43] I just wanna say thanks for great information. [12:44] have a nice day. I gonna kill a microsoft computer [12:44] hehe [12:44] <|Dreams|> has any one got a good sources list for kubuntu gutsy x64 please [12:44] hi [12:44] -_- I have a problem [12:44] Anyone have any idea why a svm-compatible processor can not load kvm-amd module ? [12:44] where can I find icons for shortcuts ?? I made bottom bar for shortcuts. [12:44] I'm afraid once the server is up and running I'm going to need a web based admin program to get around [12:44] and I thought ispconfig would be that [12:44] mad_max02, you can use any picture i think [12:44] nvm [12:45] jarrettgreen, there's always webmin... let me see if it is packaged... [12:45] raid: ya get that working now? [12:45] yeah png but where to find some nice icons ? [12:45] I read about webmin [12:45] !webmin [12:45] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [12:45] webmin is not in the repos. but its easy to install from source [12:45] i have a tft with: dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (524x321 millimeters); resolution: 93x95 dots per inch [12:45] thanks dgjones , I didn't know aobut that one. [12:45] what should i choose for the dpi in gnome-appearance? [12:46] 93? 95? or 94? [12:46] jarrettgreen: i would be more comfortable to help with gutsy or even feisty [12:46] alarmo, thought it was worth putting that one up for you [12:46] dae galera [12:46] bom dia [12:46] whatever work for you lartza ;) [12:47] I downloaded a login theme from Art Manager, but how do I set it up?

I haven't had a problem with ubuntu [12:48] it's dealing with all of this over stuff I don't know about [12:48] jarrettgreen: so what was the problem? [12:49] jarrettgreen: what you want to do? [12:49] omazone, system>admin>login window>local [12:49] I'm guessing I need to look at a less compicated tut [12:49] lie the one you just linked [12:49] like [12:49] I'm looking over it now [12:49] hi my javascript files seems to have a "text/matlab" mimetype in their properties, I haven't edit anything, how can i fix this?

[12:50] cafka: type df and see which ones your / is mounted from [12:50] I've got lamp installed [12:50] Hi - I'm new to Ubuntu, but I've used Linux for a few years. This is the first time I've set up Compiz Fusion, since I just got a new PC with a 3D-capable graphics card. It seems to work correctly, and I'm trying to use the Cube plugin. However, I only seem to have two desktops. This means I can't have the cube. Instead, I get a flat square with a desktop on both sides. How do I add two more workspaces? Thanks for your help, and for creating the best [12:50] how do I reconfigure my xorg.conf file? [12:50] jarrettgreen: you confuse me, what doesnt work [12:50] need the shell command [12:50] what I want to do is a. set up a web based interface for admining ftp accounts, myql db etc [12:51] reiner: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

[12:51] anonymous111: in the first settings option of compiz you can seleect how many desktops you need. It's currently set at 2 by default, so you have to increate that to 4. [12:51] anonymous111, click on the desktop switching icon and add 2 more desktops [12:51] and b. ultimately put this server live by forwarding out 80 port to it [12:51] jarrettgreen: oh wait, no i dont [12:51] it's under advanced desktop settings. [12:51] thanks - i'll give that a try now [12:51] gothy, /dev/sda3 64649380 3011900 58353396 5% / .. here it is.. when i type fdisk /dev/sda3 it says unable to open :S [12:52] thanks a lot [12:52] cya [12:52] so is webmin compatible?

[12:52] cafka: you can't fdisk a partition as user. what are you trying to do? [12:52] i have a usb flash drive that has two built-in partitions (one 1.44M which shows in windows as a floppy drive), i want to remove the 1.44mb partition and merge the two as one, how do i do this in ubuntu? [12:52] and webserver running [12:52] hi, i am seeing hidden files/folders in the gtkFileFinder (open dialog) how do i turn this off? This is not in the file browser edit->preferences-> show hidden and backup files [12:52] right? [12:52] I guess my issues are specific to the tut I was following [12:52] http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06 [12:53] jarrettgreen: have you gotten the !webmin warning yet? ;] [12:53] gothy, i want to install slax backtrack and i am patitioning the space.. [12:53] Hello. I'm new to linux, and I'm trying to append some sources to the sources list file from a file. This command fails: cat moresources >> /etc/apt/sources.list . What am I doing wrong? [12:53] ubuntu_, use gparted [12:53] Sorry, that would be sudo, and then the command [12:53] jarrettgreen: ??? whats the problem? or do you want new features? [12:53] the ispconfig never worked [12:53] itai-michaelson: i did, it still shows as two different drives [12:53] ubuntu_, system>admin>partition editor [12:53] brofeldt: this is on server? any reason not to use synaptic? [12:53] cafka: you can use parted for that. It needs root permissions, so type sudo parted in console for that [12:53] good luck with the backtrack thing...that was kicking my butt last week... :( [12:54] ok - i increased it to 4 desktops, and I now have 4 desktops to choose from in the workspace switcher on the gnome panel. However, when I do Ctrl+Alt+Dragthemouse, it still has the same problem. I'll do a Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [12:54] bazhang: Yes, it's a headless computer. [12:54] i never got it to boot... [12:54] i have a dual boot (xp and xp 64bit) when i install ubuntu (grub error 22) [12:54] i'm having trouble getting ubuntu to recognise my monitor [12:54] you installed it with sudo apt-get install ispconfig? [12:54] ubuntu_, what did you do? [12:54] or form site? [12:54] bazhang: I get the error cat: moresources >> /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory [12:54] anyone - how to turn off hidden files in gtkFileFinder (open dialog) -- not file browser [12:54] how to check if i have compiz-fusion installed? i am running gutsy [12:55] from site [12:55] itai-michaelson: gparted shows the devices as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc [12:55] brofeldt: the 'arguments' on each side of your IO redirection operator are technically two different commands, so while you are catting with sudo, you are not sending that info into your sources.list with sudo. This would be a proper way to do it: cat moresources | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list [12:55] gold44: it is installed by default [12:55] and it all worked fine up until this point Please enter your MySQL server: E.G. localhost [12:55] Please enter your MySQL user: E.G. root [12:55] Please enter your MySQL password: Your MySQL password [12:55] Please enter a name for the ISPConfig database: E.g. ispconfigdb [12:55] Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: E.g. 192.168.0.1 [12:55] Please enter the host name: E.g. www [12:55] Please enter the domain: E.g. xyz.de [12:55] Please select the protocol (http or https (SSL encryption)) to use to access the ISPConfig system: If you want to use your control panel with SSL, select 1. You can then access it under https://www.xyz.de:81. If you want to access it under http://www.xyz.de:81, choose 2. [12:55] jarrettgreen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:55] ubuntu_, oh i get it , sorry i'm afriad i cant help you [12:55] Pici: Ahaaa, I see. There's no way to actually make sudo work on both sides on the IO operator with paranthesis or whatnot? [12:55] erUSUL: dpkg -l shows 'compiz' not 'compiz-fusion', i thought they are different [12:56] Anyway I didn't know what to put in for hostname, domain etc [12:56] jarrettgreen: that looked just fine [12:56] as it was all local [12:56] anyone know if there is an equivalent to gentoo's env-update in ubuntu? [12:56] brofeldt: theres a switch to sudo, but I forget what it is. [12:56] Pici: I'll go trawl the man page, thank you for your help! [12:56] in my mind, I would want to access ispcofig through the system ip on port 81 [12:56] anyone know how to get hp w1907 to be recognized by ubuntu [12:56] jarrettgreen: put nothing to where www comes and ip to domain [12:56] pbne04: What does env-update do? [12:57] rather than an actual ww address with it wanted [12:57] gold44: the name of the project has changed but the packages are nemed compiz afaik [12:57] leave it blank? [12:57] yup [12:57] and ip to the place of domain [12:57] are you familiar with ispconfig? [12:57] nope [12:57] I think I tried that [12:57] never heard of it :D [12:57] erUSUL: how to run it? ./compiz or ./compiz-gnome? [12:57] lol great that's not good news [12:57] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list brofeldt and then uncomment (remove the hashes #) then you are good to go [12:57] Pici: updates the environment variables [12:57] what would you recommend as a good web based admin program [12:58] does anybody know anything about adding windows workstations to a samba domaincontroller [12:58] for administering ftp accounts, etc. [12:58] jarrettgreen: Webmin [12:58] jarrettgreen: i haven't used them, but i search some for you [12:58] back in a minute [12:58] try cpanel ... i think thats the name... [12:58] thats what i have heard of, but not used [12:58] webmin [12:58] does someone have an idea? [12:58] pbne04: I'm not sure, perhaps someone else here has a clue though. [12:59] Anyone has any idea about my "not being able to load kvm-amd problem" posted above ? :( [12:59] soc: Whatever looks good. [12:59] where can i find how to set up my linux to linux network? all i can seam to find is how to do linux to windows [12:59] I'm tired of googling and googling for the same thing and nothing comes up.

[13:00] I think for cpanel I'd hae to install fedora or something [13:00] alarmo: does your cpu support kvm? have you tried to disable/enable it in your bios [13:00] jtravnick, google for NFS [13:00] ? [13:00] ahhh brilliant [13:00] soc: I don't know :/ [13:00] gothy, yes it supports, and no, I couldn't find any option in my bios regarding SVM [13:00] alarmo, yes for now want to be able to share files [13:01] jarrettgreen: or http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2006/06/19/howto-install-webmin-ubuntu-dapper-drake-606/ [13:01] i would recommend the first [13:01] my desktop is running ubuntu 7.10 while the wife has fedora8 on it [13:01] jtravnick, you can use NFS, although I never tried to learn it... what I commonly use (and this is not "The Right Way", I guess) is to configure ssh and use sshfs on both [13:01] Does anyone know why I may not be able to connect to some websites (e.g. youtube)? Some IPs just wont respond !!

I'm starting to think my motherboard manufacturer screwed things up and has no bios that enables svm :( [13:02] alarmo: what error are you getting precisely? i'll try and see what i can find. [13:02] k [13:02] your right jarrett cpanel does not support debian distros it seems [13:03] which release of ubuntu should I go with?

[13:06] erUSUL: right [13:06] it's on a gigabyte GA-m61PM-s2 ... and I'm starting to think they have a bios that does not enable svm support on the processor... :( [13:06] I'll try that - and use the install lamp server option?

[13:50] mavi- mhhh, just download it with that synapsis thing? [13:50] nipzor: yea [13:50] ^Crash^: What is 'this server'? [13:50] <^Crash^> /links [13:50] ^Crash^: aint that a bit of a subjective question? [13:50] Dflamingo - can you paste me the link again - i already forgot what was your problem in the first place... [13:50] mavi- k i'll try to find that [13:50] elber [13:50] ^Crash^: being that we're all in different locations ald all :P [13:50] nipzor: you *might* have to add it to your xorg.conf to [13:50] elbermungsterses: What is the problem? [13:50] <^Crash^> i from israel [13:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=477108 [13:51] itai-michaelson: he wants to have wine as an app link in the menu or panel, forgot which [13:51] auauauuuauauauau [13:51] i created a PPPoE connection with the usual settings and when i rebooted the wireless option on nm-applet disappeared [13:51] mavi-, yeah my buddy already tried to help me, i changed some 0 in that conf to a 1, he thought that coudl solve the problem [13:51] <^Crash^> (15:51:13) ^Crash^ connected to anthony.freenode.net Irvine, CA, US = slowly [13:51] <^Crash^> -=( EnvoyRising )=- [13:51] elbermungsterses: Hmm [13:51] <^Crash^> what is your link ? [13:51] lollo_: dont. [13:51] how can i remove the whole content of a folder ? the cmd is RM, and then ? [13:51] ^Crash^: really just luck; sometimes I get in after one try and others not so [13:52] hey nipzor what type o ati card you have? [13:52] ( sry ... ) [13:52] nipzor: its in the section 'module', a row should go "Load 'xgl'" [13:52] why does my system not recognize my soundcard any more after ALSA update? [13:52] Dflamingo, in the new text editor that opens up look for this line: wine-wine [13:52] [13:52] nsa-, erm, radeon 850 or something liek that [13:52] wait [13:52] what do I type? [13:53] why is /media used instead of /mnt on Ubuntu? [13:53] mavi-, im a newbie to this, where is that section? [13:53] how do i change the default window manager in ubuntu? i want compiz to start instead of metacity. and i dont want to use compiz --replace [13:53] Dflamingo, you dont type , you just look for that line - did you find it? [13:53] nipzor: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:53] ctothej: Makes more sense to noobs [13:53] nope [13:53] ctothej: I would assume [13:53] it's an empty page [13:53] oh [13:53] nipzor: you need to be root and edit that one, if the synaptic doesnt add it for you [13:53] mavi- am i supposed to enter that int he terminal? [13:53] Dflamingo, close the application [13:54] done [13:54] badpenguin86: so its just a change for the name itself? [13:54] Hi there, is there a program that will kill a process and then recursively kill all of its child processes? [13:54] nipzor, Have a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl/simple - It refers to ATI Radeon and how to get desktop effect working [13:54] ctothej: Yes, there is nothing different, just the name [13:54] what about it badpenguin86? [13:54] dgjones, okay ty :] [13:54] nipzor: alt-f3 type "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [13:54] badpenguin86: is it the same on debian? or is this an ubuntu specific thing? [13:54] nipzor, basically, run "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and restart your computer [13:55] nipzor: but try just to install the package and reboot first [13:55] Dflamingo, before we proceed lets try something else, right-click on "applications" in the top panle and choose "edit menu" [13:55] elbermungsterses: Honestly, i have no clue. Sorry [13:55] okay, done [13:55] ctothej: when they're in /media they usually tend to automatically go to your desktop. so ya, its a user experience thing [13:55] ctothej: I believe it is specific to Ubuntu, but I could be wrong [13:55] Dflamingo, do you see "wine" there? [13:55] no [13:55] E: Konnte Lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock nicht bekommen - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [13:56] but I see a list of stuff that relates to wine [13:56] C&C icons and EA icons [13:56] nipzor: sudo apt-get clean in a terminal [13:56] Dflamingo maybe you need to scroll down a bit , look on the left tab [13:56] nope, nothing [13:56] akumu: oh ok, so being in the /media directory causes the system to possibly perform other actions to make those devices available to the user? [13:56] nipzor: Are you running any other package managers or not running the command with sudo? [13:57] nipzor, have you got Synpatic open? [13:57] bazhang, any ideas then? [13:57] What is an 'uevent'? [13:57] badpenguin86, okay i did that, nothing happened o_o [13:57] ctothej: precisely [13:57] Dflamingo, in the new meno that just opened click on "applications" (left tab) [13:57] pici, i put these comman ds in the terminal and enter my pw [13:57] dgjones, yes [13:57] done [13:57] nipzor: Did you make sure that synaptic, automatix, update manager, and any terminal using apt are closed? [13:58] Dflamingo, do you now see wine on the main windows? [13:58] nope [13:58] nothing, and I know I have wine installed [13:58] nipzor, either close synaptic and rerun the command, or use synaptic to search for the command and install that way, you can do one or the other, but not both at the same time [13:58] what do i have to do that ALSA recognizes my soundcard?! [13:58] badpenguin86, so i close everything exept fr x chat and terminal and enter what? [13:58] !sound > co0lingFir3 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [13:58] Having trouble starting Ubuntu from Live CD [13:58] akumu: very cool thanks. [13:58] Dflamingo, run winecfg from the terminal === ^Santri_Cowo^ is now known as ferrYY [13:59] nipzor: Apt is used by those programs, when they are closed, use the command I gave you, and that should solve it. [13:59] brought up wine config [13:59] badpenguin, so i have to close xchat aswell? [13:59] nipzor: No, just the programs I listed [13:59] sup [13:59] is there a way to set up fstab to immediately write to certain flash-drives or external devices immediately instead of caching and writing to those files on dismount? [13:59] pici: if i double click the vol control it says that the soundcard is not detectet [13:59] Dflamingo, ok run this : sudo gedit ~/.config/menus/applications.menu [13:59] nipzor: Basically anything that installs programs [14:00] !italian [14:00] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:00] badpenguin86, yeah i ran the command again but i dont get any responses [14:00] co0lingFir3: The links that ubotu gave you should run you through what is needed to troubleshoot your sound issues. [14:00] Dflamingo, copy-paste the command i wrote [14:00] nothing is going on [14:00] Pici: ill have a look at them [14:00] nothing happened [14:00] nipzor: you should not get a repsonse using that command. try to open synaptic then, and see if it will let you. [14:01] oh wait [14:01] badpenguin86 yeah i opened synaptic [14:01] Dflamingo, nothing happened after you clicked enter? [14:01] a new page with loads of text came up [14:01] just took time to load up [14:01] The splash screen opens, but whether I select run or run in safe graphics mode, it immediately hangs on a black screen [14:01] nipzor: Then the lock is gone [14:01] Dflamingo, good look for " wine-wine" [14:01] I see it [14:02] badpenguin86, o_O wich lock? i could run it before, semms like nothing has changed [14:02] LargeMike: Not all hardware configurations are compatible with the LiveCD, if you are attempting an install then you should try to use the Alternate CD. [14:02] !alt | LargeMike [14:02] LargeMike: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [14:02] Dflamingo, does it say under it? [14:02] what do I do now? [14:02] everytime i hibernate my laptop and come back, i have no sound until i restart. is there a way to manually renitialize the audio drivers, or better, to just make it work? [14:02] yes [14:02] Dflamingo, Remove the tag [14:03] nipzor: What were you trying to do before you got the error? [14:03] press ctrl + S [14:03] Okay, done [14:03] what do I do now? [14:03] !aptfix | nipzor [14:03] nipzor: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:03] im trying to connect using a 56k modem [14:03] nipzor, using synaptic to search, look for xserver-xgl and install that package, then you need to restart the computer [14:03] Dflamingo, the wine menu should reappear in your applications menu [14:03] anyone in here know about ispconfig [14:04] !info ispconfig [14:04] YES! [14:04] Package ispconfig does not exist in gutsy [14:04] badpenguin86, i treid to egt steam running, so i had to use the ati drivers but now as i said my visuals dont work anymore [14:04] thank you so much! [14:04] I'll give that a try. I assume the site has instructions for what to enter in the command line interface to get started. [14:04] Dflamingo, glad it worked! [14:04] dgjones, i cant find anything ;_; [14:04] z5000man: not really what does it do and from which distro [14:04] wait, itai! [14:04] ping google.com <- doesn't work ping ubuntuforums.org <- works. I can't access all websites, help! [14:04] I have a few more questions [14:04] heh [14:04] Dflamingo, yes,,,, [14:04] you have to install it from a whole bunch of different sources [14:05] remember I said there were the C&C icons? [14:05] i've installed it [14:05] How do I remove them? [14:05] dgjones, well okay i found it >_< [14:05] they are in app panel [14:05] under 'others' [14:05] but i have like 3 more files to edit on my server [14:05] and after i rebooted [14:05] it won't let me login [14:05] I can stop them showing up but is it possible to remove them forever? [14:05] Dflamingo, you should be able to do that by right-clicking on the applications in the top panel and then "edit menus" [14:06] nipzor, install that and then restart, thats what https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl/simple suggests for you to get desktop effects working [14:06] So i cant use ispconfig and i cant log in to fix it [14:06] Hello :> Anyone here with an onboard Intel HDA-based sound chipset have choppy audio in some apps/games? [14:06] (Seems to be the problem I'm having at the moment :>) [14:06] Dflamingo, you can uninstall them i guess [14:06] dgjones, okay i will reboot now, cya in a minute [14:06] orochi_: i'll tell you as soon as i can get a game to work >_> [14:06] I recently enabled gutsy-backports updates because of this one package I was trying to get running. When I enabled it though, it was marked with a - instead of a checkmark and I can't un-enable it. This is bothering me because now my updates notification keeps showing me all these compvis updates and other things I don't want to muck with. How can I disable these updates? [14:07] * DEinspanjer goes searching for why he is called "Freenode" [14:07] DEinspanjer: You are connected to the Freenode IRC servers [14:07] DEinspanjer, you can disable it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list [14:08] Hi I have some trouble with my keyboard.

[14:11] bazhang: started some updates to gutsy/feisty (?) [14:11] nope, but doesn't it mean something is wrong if I can't remove them from the pc?

But now only the keyboard is what is not working properly [14:13] Yes you can use pdfedit [14:13] Dflamingo, it means these programmes are installed on your computer. deleting an icon is not the same as uninstalling [14:13] nipzor, you're welcome [14:13] Gnome only starts in "safe mode" [14:13] AuraithX: try google ubuntu linux keylogger and see how many results; why trust us? ;] [14:13] What should I do?

This can mean that you have bad ram, the application may be sitting on bad secors, etc. [14:33] How do I repair XFCE? I started today and i get a blank desktop no icons nor an applications menu... I have had to default to failsafe terminal to load xchat [14:34] i think someone is overflowing it but I need people experienced with the program to explain the errror [14:34] iTF|Prometheus: iconfig up/down does no good, neither does /etc/init.d/networking script. That would have been my solutions in the old days, but now it seems the new graphical wireless network managers and their icons run the show... === th3_lyon is now known as arcad3 [14:35] ForzaPalermo: there's a tool coming with putty that works as sshd and in which you can set up public/private keys.

[14:51] IndyGunFreak: At the bottom of the page it lists 64 and 32 versions. [14:51] DEinspanjer: so download and install it. [14:52] I guess I could download the .deb and try to install that, I just didn't know if there was a way using apt-get [14:52] xrestassuredx: to what end? [14:52] how do I downgrade a package?

[14:53] zubuntu: thats probably gonna be slower than christmas... tried it. [14:53] DEinspanjer: well, if its not in the package manager, the you don't have a choice.

I'm trying to add the "Disk Mounter" icon and it just doesn't do anything when I click Add or drag it onto the panel. I can add other ones fine.. [15:43] roddersg, to open my disk drive in nautilus form livecd [15:43] CVD-PR, use a terminal window, then ln -s ~/Desktop/name-u-want === chiriri is now known as Elda [15:43] i don't have a display any more, i picked my graphics card drivers from the 'screen & display' menu and rebooted, and it comes back to the console login with no gui === forgotten is now known as f0rg0tt3n [15:43] gortint, you might have to mount the drive first, don't think it mounts automatically [15:43] quick question... how do I start the partition program in here? :s [15:44] Elda fdisk ?

[15:44] elda: type gparted into terminal [15:44] Elda in a terminal window [15:44] erUSUL: just tested that file counting question ... ls | wc -l counts a file "my file" (space in the file name) as two files [15:44] Hi. [15:44] how do i assign graphics drivers from a command line [15:44] ok, thanx a lot i'll try it now [15:44] prince_jammys, you should use ls -l for line-by-line [15:45] prince_jammys: doesn't here [15:45] hello... im not happy about manual... i need to install hamachi.They say - run " make install" what the f..that must mean! at least it would be written "make install hamachi" or smth.. [15:45] xrestassuredx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:45] roddersg: uhm no, when invoked not on stdout, ls automatically reverts to that behavior normally [15:45] difference bettween hard and simbolic links?

I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend Ubuntu, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. Help? [15:46] sorry, i did with ls, not ls -l [15:46] prince_jammys: The -1 means "one file per line in just one column" [15:46] CVD-PR: a hard link is simply another name for a file, and when you create on, there is no concept of the "original filename" versus the "link". they're just two equivalent names for the same piece of data. a symlink is a file that points to another file. [15:46] LjL you're right, however if your filename has spaces in it, your're screwed ls -l is better [15:46] or ls -C1 [15:46] damn i mean ls -l returns wrong output, ls works [15:46] Anyone had problems with kino like writing to video filter? [15:47] how to install hamachi.. im very upset [15:47] well bbl, have to reinstall winblows vista on my other partition since XP doesnt have any of the working drivers I need ;_; [15:47] Hello, I have a desktop with 2 ati video crad that has each 2 vga port.

So far with xrandr i have been able to get the 2 left screen to be like a big one and the 3 right screen to be like a big one! I would like to have 4 different screen... Thanks in advance [15:47] roddersg, why link dont work form nautilus but it work in the erminal? [15:47] prince_jammys, you're right ls -l returns 1 more [15:47] Have gone to lengths though ot keep my ubuntu partition good though :D [15:47] roddersg, i don't see the difference in case of spaces in the filename... === sorena|awaaay is now known as sorena [15:47] so bbl :s [15:48] peace: "make install" is a real command. It is usually used when you have downloaded a source package. "make" is a program that runs a Makefile script. "make install" tells make to run the commands listed under the install action. [15:48] hi everybody [15:48] CVD-PR, not too sure about nautilus, but I do my links using the terminal mode [15:48] a regular user do not need to be added to "admin" group to have a limited sudo access for command like shutdown ? or all sudo'ers need to be added to admin group for allowing any system commands? [15:49] LjL ls -l gives one more count because first line shows total of files (ls is better, spaces don't matter) [15:49] why doesn't my umask setting in "/etc/apache2/envvars" get applied? ("umask ") [15:49] roddersg: yup, that's true [15:49] Hi. I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend Ubuntu, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. Help? [15:49] this is ridiculious.. make install.. how the computer knows i need to install hamachi.. lol stupid manuals.. i read manual before.it writes."make install" i can even "sudo make install" [15:50] roddersg, LjL: ls -1 is a format specifically suited to piping the results through filters. [15:50] hey, im new here.. just finished with all this installation and programs :) how are you guys? [15:50] touch "file with spaces"; array=(*); echo "there are ${#array[*]} files"; echo "and now ...." ; ls -l | wc -l; echo "and finally..."; ls | wc -l [15:50] amenado, with the default setup, you need to be in "admin" for using sudo. always. [15:50] DEinspanjer, that's what I thought [15:50] אפשר לכתוב כאן בעברית? [15:51] DEinspanjer: yes, but i think that behavior is triggered automatically on Ubuntu when you actually pipe [15:51] !il | NiSoOo [15:51] NiSoOo: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [15:51] /join #ubuntu-il [15:51] LjL i added a user, with shutdown priviledge only, but I have not added the user to admin group, so it would not work?

" make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop." [15:52] amenado: that should work without the user being in admin [15:52] hey, anyone knows how to set the volume label of a disk? [15:53] peace: What directory are you in when you run that? [15:53] roddersg: for ext2/3 , sudo e2lable [15:53] roddersg: erm e2label that is [15:53] no directory.. i go to terminal..it opens in new window.. [15:54] thanks [15:54] LjL but it is getting an error, user usernam is not allowed to execute /sbin/shutdown -r now as root [15:54] peace: Then you are in your home directory. You need to go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the files. [15:54] this is ridiculious..a person who knows how to change directory, for sure will know how to install the program without manual.. [15:55] nomen [15:55] nomen [15:55] nickrud, how about vfat/fat disks [15:56] amenado: i'm not particularly familiar with the sudoers syntax, but i guess there's something wrong there. but if you do it properly, the user won't need to be in admin.

[15:56] much efforts needed :| [15:56] roddersg: mlabel [15:56] roddersg: for ntfs , install ntfsprogs and use ntfslabels [15:56] LjL i thought i knew sudo also, lil thing like this caught me offguard..

[16:39] lol [16:39] im hoping the updates will fix my dual monitors [16:39] crhylove: please join #compiz-fusion [16:39] Question, I am using Emerald however the only way theme settings work for it is when i run "sudo emerald-theme-manger" and then "sudo emerald --replace" [16:39] ok. [16:39] Any idea why that may be? === FrancoGG_ is now known as FrancoGG [16:40] yeah me too and it completely corrupted my gdm so now it corrupts nvidia driver and Xorg [16:40] lol [16:40] cidco: don't run emerald as root [16:40] i saved 30gb for a windows partition after installing ubuntu, what should be next step? [16:40] what will be the proper way to install winblows? [16:40] credible, when i run it as my normal user, i cant get the list of themes [16:40] heres a thought... back up your data on HDD or DVD and then install 7.04 or 7.10 and dont do updates [16:40] why does epiphany and firefox use about 100% of my CPU?? [16:40] cidco, you need to select the desktop manager from the ccsm program [16:40] cidco: there are no themes for emerald in gutsy, you have to get them yourself [16:41] then your drivers will work [16:41] cidco, then you will have the desktop manager set as emerald [16:41] Are there any ways to make NFSv4 more "low bandwidth friendly"? I've currently got some NFSv4 mounts going over a VPN which is going over a 768 Kbps DSL line and it is painfully slow (much slower than sftp, for example) [16:41] and maybe they will fix it in a month or so [16:41] and "Don't use NFS" replies would be more helpful if they had a suggestion of what TO use : ) [16:42] or maybe if you reinstall and do updates immediatly and then install drivers and everything and it will work [16:42] bthornton, i just arrived -- what are you trying to accomplish???? [16:42] RickJones, where is the setting in ccsm ? [16:42] cidco, is says select window manager [16:43] W8TAH: I've got an NFSv4 mount through a VPN which is running over 768 Kbps DSL lines. All file transfers over the NFS mount are significantly slower than, say, sftp. [16:43] but apparently if you install 7.04 or 7.10 and have video drivers installed and then update or upgrade and can screw things up [16:43] cidco, do you have the package for the compiz icon ? [16:43] RickJones: are you behind a router?? [16:43] it* [16:43] bthornton, are you looking for MOUNTS or just file transfers? [16:43] RickJones: that's not going to fix his issue :) [16:43] erUSUL, yes [16:43] RickJones, Compiz Icon? [16:43] credible, it will if his emerald isn't selected in the window manager [16:44] W8TAH: Must be something that lets me mount filesystems and respects file ownership. [16:44] splendidjim: what does 'ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/lock' say? 'ls -dl /var/cache/apt'? 'mount'? 'dmesg'? [16:44] RickJones: maybe is the router the one reporting that open port?? or a server in the DMZ ?? [16:44] bthornton, ouch -- not my area of expertise -- all my remote mounts come via smb cuz my domain is active directlry [16:44] void^ -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2008-02-22 17:33 /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [16:44] RickJones: his problem is that his themes are installed in /root/.emerald/ [16:45] the only reason to have DMZ enabled is if you are hacking into a router or you are using bittorrent.. [16:45] How can I enter the channel of ubuntu-cn? [16:45] W8TAH: Well, I do have Samba set up on the remote machine (i.e. the one serving the NFS mounts). How are you mounting things on the client ends? [16:45] yuanjin: /join #ubuntu-cn [16:45] ubuntu won't atuomaticaly mount my usb drives how can i fix it? [16:45] erUSUL, no dmz ips in the router [16:45] void^ ls -dl /var/cache/apt says drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-02-22 17:38 /var/cache/apt [16:45] i've installed ubuntu from usb [16:45] by typing: /join #ubuntu-cn [16:46] does anyone know how to stop absolute path informatio from being saved in an archive when i `tar zcf myfile.tar.gz /path/to/some/files/`? [16:46] why epiphany and firefox use up to 100% of my CPU... [16:46] credible, then can he not simply move the folder to his home directory ? [16:46] Thanks sudobash [16:46] from linux to windows - -i dont do any linux to linux mounts [16:46] RickJones: and chown it [16:46] jimpy: cd /path/to && tar cf /some/where/myfile.tar.gz some/files [16:46] although i THINK you can do mounts through nautilus - but ive never tried it [16:46] credible, would that not work? [16:46] W8TAH: gotcha. That's basically the role Samba plays on my setup as well. [16:47] sorry i cant help more [16:47] credible, and would he still not need the ccsm package and the icon for managing the compiz ? [16:47] void thanks. [16:47] W8TAH: no problem; thanks [16:47] void^ dmesg : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56965/ [16:47] RickJones: ccsm yes, fusion-icon no [16:47] can anyone tell me how can i get updates in gutsy?

[16:49] splendidjim: that's very much not good.. better boot a livecd and fix your root filesystem [16:49] sudobash: it just shows done [16:49] credible, would he not need root access to move a root folder? [16:50] RickJones: good luck [16:50] void^ what happened?

If I start it up and I leave it for 24 hours, will it still be running after 24 hours? [17:06] sudobash, that isnt necessary [17:06] How can I have a permission denied error with root access ? [17:06] sudobash: sorry, I was using Kopete and that crashed [17:06] now I'm on irssi [17:06] what are you doing Hamtaro [17:06] yeah i had to work with XP for years and i hated it [17:06] i am trying to install this software Hydra [17:06] I try to install wxHaskell [17:06] its supposed to work with Cywin [17:07] paste the error and command that made it Hamtaro [17:07] anyone heard cywin?

Here is what I am trying to follow -> "I re-ran the Ubuntu installer until I had the network configuration set up, but I stopped before the step where the disk is partitioned and formatted. I dropped out of the installer into a shell (this is one of the options provided by the installer's menu).

I have two printers, neither of which work [17:14] I'm not sure which key did it. [17:14] sinbox: what is that software/ [17:14] Maybe F12.

[17:17] During install, if I make into a shell, how can I ftp? netkit-ftp says command not found [17:17] ahorriblemess, if you don't have an ftp server I don't think it'll be reachable, then again, I am no authority on security, rather far from it in fact :) (more the careless idiot type) [17:18] Hi. Does anyone know how to shut down and restart the sound system? [17:18] sudobash: but my mp3 is not working [17:18] what linux distros are installable form usb to hd?

[17:19] Xman2007 you have to install LAME I think for mp3s [17:19] go to synaptic and enable all the repos [17:19] I've ran those two programs to check for rootkits - nothing found, anything else I can use to check the security of my system or if its infected with something? [17:19] Crembo: If you want to inspect a printer's queue when not printing something then it's a little bit cumbersome. From the panel's "System" menu choose "Administration->Printers", then right-click on your printer and choose "Jobs". [17:19] gothy : did you get it? [17:20] sinbox: it's actually pretty cool, it's good to know what these ports do [17:20] nios: You may be able to install it in Wine, but I've never done that.

I have a new gutsy system that I'm getting configured and having problems with the sun java plugin. apt-get install sun-java6-plugin tells me it's not available. I have both universe and multiverse repos enabled. Any thoughts? [17:26] I am trying to install GNUpod on a remote server but I only have write permission to my home directory. Thankfully all the dependencies are satisfied. I do './configure=/home/me/LocalGnupod' but when I run 'make install' it fails because it tries to make /etc/perl/GNUpod === f4lt3r_futtern is now known as f4lt3r [17:27] Huffalump: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_ftp.htm is a barebones way [17:27] how can i resize my linux partition to give me more space on a dual boot windows/ubuntu machine? gparted doesnt give me the option to resize [17:27] benanz1: hrm? that's an add looking configure line [17:27] benanz1: odd* [17:27] Can I change that to be in something like ~/Local/etc/perl? or do I need to install my own version of perl [17:27] sorry [17:27] ./configure --prefix=/home/me/Local [17:27] that's better [17:27] forgot a bit there [17:28] ejer, it says ftp command not found. i also tried pftp and netkit-ftp [17:28] benanz1: see ./configure --help, if there is an option you will probably find it there [17:28] Huffalump: if it is ubuntu livecd, you could install it, but I thought it should be tehre [17:28] I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. The sound works again once I restart. But when I shut down it says: "Vortex: AC'97 Codec stuck busy". Vortex is the new card I installed, and AC'97 is the integrated one. Help? [17:29] ejer, it's not a livecd. it's xubuntu alt [17:29] i'm trying to move multiple folders at once at a command line.. what do i use to separate them and still have the tab completion work?

[17:29] does anyone know what tdbsam backend is? [17:30] ejer: Ok, how can I fix this problem?

It's apparently not available for 64 bit. Thanks for the help [17:30] ahhh [17:31] ejer, thanks for the response. I had been following some instructions which said to use netkit-ftp but thats where I stumbled. [17:31] nicholas_: this is a very old card, right [17:32] ejer: From 1999. [17:32] nicholas_: you may be better off with internal sound card [17:33] ejer: No, the Vortex is nicer. the integrated one hisses very loudly. [17:33] ejer: It was expensive, too. [17:34] well there is not much I can find about it, so you are going to be pretty much on your own I think nicholas_ [17:34] nicholas_: you can check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [17:34] When I run './configure --prefix=/home/me/LocalGnupod' I get this warning: "config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting" [17:35] is that a problem with why it still tries to install stuff in /etc?

[18:13] Ajmal, use apt-cache search mplayer ........

[19:02] Hi all. I apologize for the many times some of you have heard my problem. The thing is, I was a happy suse user until it unfortunately occurred to me to upgrade my BIOS. After that, my music (sound card hda) sounded like "scratched cds" and my wireless card is detected but it doesn't recognize my wireless network. This coincided with a suse update, so some of you suggested me to make a clean install. I have made 3 clean installs [19:02] (in this last one the system recognized two wireless cards, but I only have one) and I've also tried three other distros. All of them had the aforementioned problem (the installation process was even hung in ubuntu). The thing is, after every clean installed I've made in the past, suse was perfect. So the only thing that have changed is the BIOS... and I don't think the issue is a defective harware because everything still works [19:02] perfect in windows... so I don't know what to do guys. Please I'd really appreciate any help. Now I want to install ubuntu, but the installlation cd (7.04) doesn't seem to work and the media check says it is just fine. Just right after getting to the desktop, I can't pass an orange-pink screen... it just stays in there... and I can't move the cursor, but in a totally orange pink screen....

[19:14] lordleemo: i've done that but it says i don't have permissions to save it... [19:14] bluefoxx: just so many things to test, is it hardware or software? you need to isolate variables a bit [19:14] jexmex - this problem may be caused by the kernel not having frame buffer support at boot time. Check you have the lines vesafb and fbcon in your /etc/initramfs/modules file. Also check you have the line "blacklist vesafb" commented out in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer. After that you need to update your initramfs with the command sudo update-initramfs -u. No guarentees though && certainly no warranties with this advice :) [19:14] mysterycool: basically, if you have any terminal or file browser working in the cdrom directory, it will be "busy" [19:15] prince_jammys: i have the konsole opened with 2 sessions [19:15] ejer, is which the hardware or software [19:15] cheesypieces: sudo [19:15] im using bitchx right now as my irc client. in some rooms (specifically thundercity.net #exp-trivia), instead of spaces, i get strange characters (represented by the terminal's unknown character) when there should be spaces in the questions. However, normal user chat works fine. I'm thinking that because these question prompts are read from a text file, there might be a different character encoding. how can get gnome terminal to understand t [19:15] mysterycool: and the "pwd" of the other session?

'file system error'... and it fix it automaticly i guess.. but after some reboot, it detect d same error again.. [19:28] which is kindof a retarded way to write 0.94 * a = .... [19:28] Creationist: another nicer way is to set grub to boot windows by default, but leave ubuntu as an option for when he gets sick of windows again [19:28] optimus_, yes the issue is I can figure loan amount with PV function in spreadsheet and I have a known interest rate value and needed to reverse calculate for an offer price on a home. Say the downpmt was 3%, 3% of the loan_amt is not the same as 3% of offer price.

[19:43] my dvd works pretty bad on ubuntu 7.10. it plays a while then freezes (it keeps reading something from the DVD unit), and after one minute it continues playing. what can be done? [19:43] PhilcoBill: i sent you the link to ssh, that is what you want [19:43] ejer: great example for me its an unrecognizable blob of dots that are not moving [19:43] denand_: ok, that's pretty much what I did. I'm trying to make a bootable linux harddrive for a laptop without a cd-rom. So I copied the files and did a grub-install on it, but the laptop won't boot with the drive I created [19:43] sladen, I am not sure actually [19:43] ejer, I will check it out. [19:43] Life is complex, it has both real and imaginary parts. [19:43] anyone know that port 44482 is used for ?? [19:43] acee1234: interesting... can you screenshot it [19:43] danand_, I have not checked that yet [19:43] * Slart has to find this sladen guy one day... perhaps ask him nicely to change nick =) [19:43] ejer - PhilcoBill wants to view his desktop remotely i think [19:44] jexmex - ok [19:44] I did a change to the splash resolution, and updated the splash, after I reboot I will see if that worked [19:44] ejer: sure [19:44] danand_: yup, but he needs to be able to go in and either start vncserver or x11vnc [19:44] another question for you all, what port does phpMyadmin use ?? [19:44] Grezer: 80, normal web port, but it goes in /phpmyadmin [19:44] ejer - ahh ok. i see where your coming from. thought you might have meant ssh -X [19:44] right now I have realvnc running on my laptop while viewing the ubuntu deskstop [19:45] join #medibuntu === Compaq_Administr is now known as jon_high9000 [19:45] ejer, I am not sure when the vnc server starts [19:45] PhilcoBill: to make this work, you ssh to remote box, you run vncserver, then you connect to vnc from other box [19:45] ejer - wonder if startx would work under ssh -X ?? [19:45] PhilcoBill: vncserver does not run as a service unless you set it up manually [19:45] ok, what about a ssh client [19:46] jon_high9000 Jupiter512 [19:46] i come seeking sage advice... I updated Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.latest using the built-in update facility on a 2-drive dual boot system (Linux & Windows) and now Linux no longer boots. what would be the safest and easiest way to recover given that I now have the Ubuntu 7.x CD without harming the still working Windows installation? [19:46] what is the best to use? [19:46] danand_: no, since you have an x session running, but gnome-session can work [19:46] ejer I am confused then [19:46] how do you turn off a port ?? I have no idea what port 44482 [19:46] DrX, super grub boot floppy [19:46] I did not start the vnc server for my session now [19:46] jexmex: ssh is the client [19:46] ejer: printscreen button doesnt work [19:46] If I know the name of a wireless network, how do I make Ubuntu connect to it? [19:46] bluefoxx: how's that work conceptually and does it imply NO reinstall but just a boot repair? [19:47] It was running after I logged it [19:47] in [19:47] PhilcoBill: you are probably using the 'desktop sharing' in gnome, which starts after you login [19:47] what I mean is a gnome client [19:47] for sssh [19:47] jexmex, you just run ssh from a terminal [19:47] err ssh [19:47] there is more than one type of vnc server PhilcoBill [19:47] hi there. is ther a way to operate ubuntu with a usb dsl modem [19:47] Guys am on Gutsy 7.10, i tried the apt-get update today and I got GPG error onhttp://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates [19:47] ejer, then how can I start it before logging in That is the question [19:47] jexmex: the terminal isn't gnome enough for you? =) [19:47] DrX, on a dual boot system, it works for me, though it was when i removed an operating system and it wouldnt boot [19:47] PhilcoBill: to make this work, you ssh to remote box, you run vncserver, then you connect to vnc from other box [19:47] or can I [19:47] i want to be able to save server info, etc [19:47] okay [19:47] DrX, google it [19:47] I will try that [19:47] if you want to do file stransfer or something like that, you can use sftp or filezille if you need a client [19:48] !hcl | jon_high9000 [19:48] jon_high9000: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:48] DrX, doesnt even have to be a floppy, could be usb stick or cd [19:48] bluefoxx, so you think the LInux upgrade went OK but the Grub loader configuration got wacked? [19:48] ejer: ok got it where do i dump the pic? [19:48] DrX, basically... [19:48] jexmex: something like putty perhaps? [19:48] Hello. I have installed StarDict on both Linux and Windows. On windows word scan and recognition works by only hovering the mouse over it, but on linux you have to select the whole word. Can it be used like on windows? My other problem on win that it doesn work inside firefox. It cant recognize the word well. (sorry for this latter question but i dont know anybody who could help in this) [19:48] yup works just found it [19:48] I like putty in windows, should be good in linux [19:48] acee1234: flickr? there are many services.. but not sure I can help really anyways, i'll try :) [19:49] Guys am on Gutsy 7.10, i tried the apt-get update today and I got GPG error onhttp://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates .. Any ideas? [19:49] ejer: hmm interesting... toggling TOR fixed the problem [19:49] Does anybody here have experience with gfax or efax-gtk? [19:49] leblinux - i have had that error on Debian. you need to update your gpg keys. can't remember how to do it now.... try a google. if i remember rightly there are loads of links telling you how to correct that [19:49] acee1234: :) [19:50] bluefoxx, let's assume that Linux got hosed, then I would probably have to reinstall. would you disconnect the Windows drive and install Ubuntu 7 from the CD and then work out the boot loaders later? Or would you just leave the drives (Windows is on sda0 and Linux on sda1) and reinstall and is it safe to assume Ubuntu 7 won't hose the Windows drive? [19:50] ejer: how does a proxy kill animations? [19:50] OK, lemme ask this way - running 7.10. If I add the hardy heron repository, apt-get update, install alsa, remove the repository, then update again - any problems? [19:50] acee1234: pretty well it seems, not sure [19:50] acee1234: violently, I hope.. hate the darn things =) [19:50] that is a question for tor guys acee1234 [19:50] edju: yes [19:51] edju: more than you want, I think [19:52] Slart: just sux because the school blocks everything and the only way even to access a dictionary online is with a proxy [19:52] dennda, k thanks [19:52] ubotu: thanks [19:52] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [19:52] acee1234: go tell your teacher you want to use the online dictionary... or ask the network admin.. nicely [19:52] Slart, OK -that kills that, then. I'd compile alsa from source, but can't remove alsa w/o removing ubuntu-minimal. [19:52] hey all, this the place to ask about getting my vid drivers working? [19:52] DrX, disconnect the windows drive if you are unsure, leave it in if your lazy/sure of youself, linux shouldnt wipe it unless you tell it to, if drives are different brands find out which you want to put linux on and choose that one in the installation wizard[i have a comp that dual booted win/00 and ubuntu{though i dropped the win/00}and it installed fine] [19:53] edju: ubuntu-minimal? isn't that just a meta-package? [19:53] !ask | saff [19:53] saff: 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. :-) [19:53] saff: if you're using ubuntu, sure [19:53] Slart, Dunno - but the description makes it sound scary. [19:54] Slart, boot, hdware recognition, etc. [19:54] thanks Slart, yea I am [19:54] fliegenderfrosch, not quite what I was doing, was it? [19:54] edju: I don't know about ubuntu-minimal.. but ubuntu-desktop is a meta package.. it means it just pulls in other packages.. so even if you remove it, it won't remove all the stuff it has pulled in [19:54] ok. Proftp. LAMP is up and running. Connecting to the server via it's ip in the browser takes me to where I need to go. I just need to figure out how to set up 1 ftp login to point to the root of the apache server, so I can test some files [19:54] and I'll be done [19:54] hey looking for help with ubuntu? new user here [19:54] Hello. I have installed StarDict on both Linux and Windows. On windows word scan and recognition works by only hovering the mouse over it, but on linux you have to select the whole word.

(sorry for this latter question but i dont know anybody who could help in this) [19:55] bluefoxx: the drives are identical, sounds like safest thing is to pull them [19:55] hello [19:55] skyline05: fire away with the question [19:55] guys where do i download 64bit version of Ubuntu for Intel chips ? [19:55] edju: but give it a try.. but use the "simulate" switch.. just in case [19:55] Can someone answer a question about gedit? [19:55] ok so I've tried installing the drivers with the nvidia installer, envy, and the ubuntu restricted manager [19:55] tomvolek_: use the amd64 one [19:55] relaxedirc.net [19:55] ok I'm having trouble installing my video drivers [19:55] !envy | saff [19:55] saff: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [19:55] they all have various problems.... mostly I just can't start X [19:55] slart, why does teh file name is called amd64 ? [19:55] !ask | adaminla [19:55] adaminla: 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. :-) [19:55] that is confusing as heck [19:55] bluefox: also, I think I had to change some crazy bios setting related to the drives (32 vs 64 bit transfers maybe?) to get one of the OS to install and then put it back to get them both booting... [19:56] adaminla: my telepathy is a bit weak so I say.. perhaps =) [19:56] DrX, thats what i would do then...then reconfigure grub after using the super grub disk[both drives in and boot from grub disk] [19:56] i need some help with my mogul 6800 as far as updating my software i just got the phone [19:56] Slart, Any easier waqy to get alsa 1.0.16? [19:56] anybody can help me [19:56] +waqy+way [19:56] tomvolek_: to honour amd for being open and creative I think.. [19:56] my understanding is that ubuntu only supports a few USB DSL Modems. [19:56] edju: not that I know of [19:56] ok, so if i download teh amd64 , i can install on intel core 2 dup with no problem then ? [19:57] tomvolek_: yes.. no problem.. that's what it's designed for.. amd 64 and intel 64bit [19:57] dennda, i went to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/ and downloaded the GPG key but when trying to add it i get: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. [19:57] !hcl | jon_ [19:57] Slart, would the amd64 support raid0 ? [19:57] can anyone help me with installing drivers? [19:57] tor is a mute channel.... [19:57] jon_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:57] Do i need to save changes to /etc/usplash and then close it to sudo reconfigure usplash? [19:57] tomvolek_: I don't know but I'd be very very surprised if it didn't [19:57] Slart, yes thanks, but restricted manager isn't working for me either [19:57] edju - you could try downloading the .deb package of alsa 1.0.16 and installing it with dpkg perhaps? [19:57] anybody has setup hardware raid with Ubuntu ? [19:57] tomvolek_: use the alternate install cd for raid [19:58] for some reason only 2d nvidia gets enabled [19:58] does anybody have the mogul 680 phone in here === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [19:58] danand_, Yeah - if I can find A DEB FOR IT. [19:58] tomvolek_: I have .. once.. . on debian.. 5 years ago.. =) [19:58] 1 sec [19:58] damn caps lock key [19:58] what do u mean alternate install cd ? :) [19:58] edju: it is in hardy backports accoring to google [19:58] !alternate [19:58] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [19:58] I have a kind of long post re: restoring a laptop; can someone give me connex directions to pastebin please? thanks [19:58] edju - you could try removing alsa 1.0.15 first with dpkg too. [19:58] god bless Slart , u brave [19:58] !pastebin [19:58] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined text so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [19:59] edju - is it not in the hardy repositories? [19:59] i guess not [19:59] Slart what do u mean alternative cd install ? [19:59] !tell DrX about grub [19:59] tomvolek_: just make sure you get a real hardware raid setup.. not one of those on board fake raid thingies [19:59] /server irc.rizon.net [19:59] tomvolek_: ah.. the alternate [20:00] tomvolek_: the alternate install cd lets you install to a raid partition.. the live CD doesn't let you do that [20:00] danand_, will the hardy deb live comfortably in this 7.10 world? [20:00] Slart, can u be more specific about "real hardware" as this is the frist time i am looking at this ... [20:00] Slart on alternate cd , ok tx. So I download an alternate Cd 64 bit ... [20:00] ok so thusfar only using the nvidia installer seems to work... but even then i get mod conflicts between the installer and the restricated manager version.... i use envy to clean the slate, but when i get the nvidia installer drivers in, i only get 2d support, and no DR [20:01] edju - ?? dont know.... but at least if you install with dpkg you can safely remove it if it doesn't work [20:01] Hey fellas, is it possible to install ubuntu while booted into gentoo. Id like to the the install while still using the pc, and wondered if there is a "howto" on how to install ubuntu from another linux distro? Setting it up to get my family onto linux [20:01] installing with restricted manager means i can't boot X... X log just says "no screens found" without any other EEs [20:01] danand, ok -will give it a try. Thanks. [20:01] tomvolek_: fakeraid is what many motherboards have these days.. you don't gain a lot of speed and if your motherboard dies your files might as well be.. well.. gone.. if you want raid either a) buy a real raid hardware card... costs about $400 and up.. or b) use software raid [20:01] hey guys, I have a problem... the ubuntu USplash does Not appear when I shut down my machine just a black screen... how can I fix this??? help me please! [20:02] ok, thanks very much Slart [20:02] Squawk: google for debootstrap [20:02] edju - think you can mix repositories - know you can do this on debian - ie have the equivalent on a debian system of a mixed gutsy/hardy system. [20:02] can i ask something [20:02] when I install Ubuntu 7 from 32-bit CD onto the now failed update hosed 6.1, will it retain my programs or will it overwrite everything? [20:02] tomvolek_: do a little googling for raid linux ubuntu etc before you start.. you'll get an easier ride if you're prepared [20:03] hello can u tell me how to fine locate mysqli.so [20:03] just ask, kafros [20:03] where can find lost season 4?

[20:03] evening all, have a display resolution problem on ubuntu, sony vaio laptop monitor is 1280x800 on xp but max of 1024x768 on ubuntu [20:03] Is it generally the consensus that the odds of hosing Windows when installing Ubuntu 7.x from the mfg 32-bit CD is zero (on a two drive dual boot ASUS/Intel P4 dual core system)? [20:04] DrX: if you do it right, certainly [20:04] how can i run a virtual computer on ubuntu? [20:04] DrX - you should be fine [20:04] DrX: a little bit over zero [20:04] asathoor: virtualbox.org is very good, as is vmware [20:04] ejer >> thanx [20:04] thanks, brothers [20:04] asathoor - i like using virtualbox, but others are available [20:05] DrX: but so are the chances of you *not* having a backup, right?... righht??? [20:05] as a hint to helpers, bookmarking https://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi helps with bot stuff [20:05] hello [20:05] asathoor - sudo apt-get install virtualbox [20:05] DrX, when you put a fresh install on your system you lose all your files, if you want to try to save youself try to boot into recovery mode and i think there should be a dpkg-reconfigure type command [20:05] question; I installed LILO but when I do /sbin/lilo, it says "cant find /etc/lilo.conf [20:05] can anyone tell me how locate mysqli.so [20:06] on ubuntu [20:06] Slart, backups are for the people that can afford a backup drive ; [20:06] \ [20:06] NativeAngels: "sudo updatedb" and then "locate mysqli.so" [20:06] Native: "#find / -iname mysqli.so" [20:06] danand >> i'll try that [20:06] no ideas about lilo? [20:06] bluefoxx: and you think that might recover even tho Ubuntu 7.x never worked? [20:07] bluefoxx: backups are for people who like keeping their data :) [20:07] For those who have set up encrypted LVM, can you set it up via a live cd in partition manager? or can you only do it when installing ubuntu? What I did for my current install is partition with live cd, installed vista, then went back to live cd and installed ubuntu. Basically I made my partitions using ubuntu but still installed vista first (this prevents a lot of things). Can I do the same thing with encrypted LVM so that the windows part [20:07] NativeAngels: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/mysqli.so [20:07] bluefoxx: we'll taunt you mercilessly if you come back with your windows drive gone and no backups... ;) [20:07] Anyone know how to use gfax or efax? [20:07] can ayone suggest how i can fix my screen resolution? xfree86 conf I think but am a bit lost [20:07] Slart: it's Windows Vista Home Premium: there is no built in backup software anymore [20:07] lsmobrian: you have to convert your documents into images [20:08] its a long process and you need to read MAN EFAX [20:08] Whats the best processor out of this list?

[20:08] !pastebin me [20:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:08] linux_trojan... pdf work? [20:08] Slart: you can backup the data but not the programs and OS [20:08] no, and jesus I cant remember the name right now [20:08] uh uh [20:08] (I'm SO mad about that!) [20:08] whats that other image type? [20:08] Slart, what windows drive ;)if i can't afford a extra hard drive thats brand new and big enough to backup my 250gig i saved 5 monthes for how can i afford windows XP [20:08] postscript? [20:08] yes [20:09] lsmobrian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupAndFax [20:09] I think thats it [20:09] Whats the best processor out of this list? Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T2330 or AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TK-57 or Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Mobile T7250 Dual-Core Processor? [20:09] ejer, read that, didnt help so much [20:09] Is there any way to check if a wireless card is working when the only network in range isn't mine so I can't connect to it? [20:09] efax is all from command line [20:09] DrX: programs you can install again.. even if it costs money.. photo's, phd papers and such stuff is harder to get back.. those norweigan guys are really really expensive [20:09] Ok here is my pastbin URL for help with restoring a tar back up thanks to anyone who is willing to help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56988/ [20:09] Whats the best processor out of this list?

[20:09] well, what is the problem lsmobrian [20:09] !repeat | ocha [20:09] ocha: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:09] ouch ocha [20:09] !ot | ocha [20:09] ocha: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:09] anyone know how to shut off those stupid drums whin GRUB starts up? [20:10] :( [20:10] *when Grub [20:10] slart, yeah we plan to burn the data to DVD first... but the Windows OS took days to configure & that would hurt! [20:10] just need some help, no one has any ideas? [20:10] DrX, yes, it may work if your able to find the right command...sudo apt-get fix-missing mayhaphs... [20:10] hi Im trying to run a software, it shows this error. error while loading shared libraries: libglitz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:10] ocha: first you come here and ask us to do your homework for you.. and when we don't answer immediately you keep spamming us every 30 secs??? go away [20:11] gmachine_24: hmm this is not a great backup system.. well, it is ok for backing up, but restoring from this is not so good [20:11] what Slart said [20:11] ocha: ask in #hardware [20:11] making progess. Still need to figure out how to create a proftpd user who's login points to /var/www/ [20:11] hey guys, I have a problem... the ubuntu USplash does Not appear when I shut down my machine just a black screen... how can I fix this??? help me please! [20:11] seems like this should be cake [20:11] ejer: ok ejer why is that [20:11] anyone know how to shut off those stupid drums when GRUB starts up? [20:11] but I'm having a hell of a time with it [20:11] DrX: that counts as a backup in my world... I don't backup my os or application files.. just the stuff I can't get somewhere else [20:11] ocha: In my opinion, the Intel Core2 Duo Mobile is the best on your list, but don't know what a Cyber PC is so I would get that CPU in an IBM Thinkpad or a Panasonic Toughbook [20:11] ejer: is there anything I can do? [20:11] gmachine_24: I mean, are you sure you are getting everything when you backup? are permissions right when you retore? [20:11] linux_trojan, turn your speakers off :D [20:11] linux_trojan: when grub starts? [20:11] hi im having an issue with a bin image. i have the bin file but there is no cue file. is there a way i can still burn the image? [20:12] fliegenderfrosch: yes [20:12] hi Im trying to run a software, it shows this error. error while loading shared libraries: libglitz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:12] DrX: and the install isn't that bad.. I've seen a few cases here where people have had their windows partitions trashed.. but those are far apart.. I wouldn't worry.. but do those backups anyway.. just in case.. [20:12] sorry, didn't realize I was helping someone cheat on their homework [20:12] ejer: yes, i believe so. as i said in the pastebin, i have done this on other comps with ubuntu and everything has worked out ok. [20:12] linux_trojan: i hear them only when gdm starts and after login [20:12] how do I turn it off? [20:13] Slart, well, apparantly Microsoft no longer wants you backing up your OS without buying OneCare or maybe a Home Server [20:13] ejer: ok let's say this just blows. What do you recommend to do a back up? [20:13] all the drums [20:13] gmachine_24: well, obviously something went wrong... need some error messages or we have no idea [20:13] Slart, I'm SOOOO mad about that [20:13] ejer: yeah, i understand. [20:13] is there a way to burn a bin/cue image without the cue file? or a way to get the cue file? [20:13] hi, i'm having a problem with rythmbox crashing in alpha5, it says "rhythmbox: undefined symbol: rb_uri_could_be_podcast" when i try to check for new shows [20:13] those drums are driving me crazy [20:13] DrX: of course they don't want to *give* that to you.. they want to sell it to you instead =) [20:13] gmachine_24: this will help, http://wiki.ubuntuhomeserver.org/index.php?title=Backup, i use backuppc but it may be overkill for you... [20:13] ejer: i was just wondering if what i did SHOULD work or if i messed up the commands. [20:13] hello [20:13] Slart: it was free in XP [20:13] linux_trojan: isn't that just the startup sound?.. [20:14] DrX: they've gotten greedier =) [20:14] Slart: well, I've gotten madder [20:14] linux_trojan: i don't know about grub, as i'm not aware there is a sound when grub starts, but the drums just before login can be turned of in system>system administration>login (or something similar) [20:14] yes start up, at login [20:14] DrX: in ubuntu it's free.. it might be text based.. and maddening to configure.. but it's free =) [20:14] gmachine_24: it COULD work... but in general I would not restore entire system... you should have /home seperate and back that up, and maybe /etc [20:14] has anyone tried to install glitz or libglitz ? I cant apt-get install it [20:14] linux_trojan: i don't know about the exact name, as i'm not using an english system [20:15] lastelement0, look for another .cue file on your system, they are pretty easy to create (just copy another one, change the .bin file name) [20:15] I already tried system>pref>sound but that didnt work [20:15] linux_trojan: isn't there some kind of setting for the startup sound.. settings sound? [20:15] hes talking about the sound when the logon window pops up [20:15] linux_trojan: it is in the login manager settings [20:15] ahh.. the login theme thingy [20:15] I've got a question. I'm trying to write a shell script to convert all m4a files in a directory tree to mp3. I think i have to conversion thing right, but bash is breaking each file in pieces at spaces. How can i have bash only break the filenames at newlines? [20:15] DrX thanks for the reply. I always go towards Intel. But this is not my laptop [20:15] Is there any way to check if a wireless card is working when the only network in range isn't mine so I can't connect to it? [20:15] Hi just a quick question. Where can i find the bootfile in 7.10? Need to add my windows installation to, it just dissapered. :( [20:15] ejer: ok i understand a lot of people back up that way. one reason i wanted to bu the entire system was because getting the broadcom to work was such a pain in the rear. [20:15] system - pref - sounds linux_trojan - login select "no sound" [20:16] bokonon01, this is a #bash, for bash related questions/scripting [20:16] ok [20:16] gmachine_24: I don't know anyone who does it like that, there are awesome backup tools available [20:16] ejer: and, of course, i did NOT bookmark the Ubuntu forum post that I used for directions as a "howto" [20:16] ejer: ok, man, thanks for your time. it might be an old skool thing, who knows. [20:17] bokonon01: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/internalvariables.html look at IFS section [20:17] gmachine_24: it is old skool [20:17] haha [20:17] ejer: you use rsync? [20:17] ep1 - sudo apt-get -s install libglitz1 - check if thats the package you want though ie search in aptitude for example to check the description [20:17] backuppc gmachine_24 but yes, rsync is behind most backup systems [20:18] Creationist: if you can see a network in range, the card is working [20:18] ejer: i use rsync to back up entire drives, such as my music library. [20:18] Xorothal: Well, I can't see it. [20:18] hello everyone, im a new ubuntu user, and am very happy with it, i have managed to take care of all my issues except for this one, and was wondering if anyone had any advice [20:18] Hi all, I have installed EclipseFP for Haskell, but now, how to compile with Haskell ? (compiler and ghci are installed too) [20:18] Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration im gettin this error now ive installed phpmyadmin [20:18] can anyon help [20:18] gmachine_24: sure, works great [20:18] Creationist: "when the only network in range" implies there is a network in range [20:19] compiling on gutsy IS THERE a bug: if you install fakeroot, debhelper, build-essential, lintian, dh-make, devscripts IS IT supposed to try and install from the CD? [20:19] Xorothal: I can see and connect to it with Windows... not Linux. [20:19] is it WPA? [20:19] vircon: you'd have a much better chance of getting help if you actually told us what the problem is.. [20:19] NativeAngels: you probably need to install php5-mysql [20:19] ejer: yep. it's so versatile it's amazing. anyway, thanks again for your help. I'll attempt one more restore and then just bag it. Does 7.0X have better support for Broadcom wireless, do you know? [20:19] jessejazza: system>admin>software sources, untick cdrom, close [20:20] I would appreciate any help with my problem [20:20] gmachine_24: 7.10? every new version gets better drivers... [20:20] macd: I just wanted to thank you for your help yesterday with the RAID. It's working wonderfully now. === phoenix24_ is now known as phoenix24 [20:20] ejer: yes, sorry, gutsy. [20:21] ejer: i don't think 6.xx had any broadcom drivers. [20:21] ejer: it looks for a CD when installing from synaptic [20:21] try the livecd and see... gmachine_24 [20:21] jessejazza: i know, i just posted your answer [20:21] sorry, i just bought a new cell phone, and want to use it to connect to the internet, i have researched alot, its a krzr k1m on the verizon network, and when i connect it to the computer the logs show there is a new device attatched, and cdc-acm is loaded, but it wont give me a /dev driver to link any programs to [20:21] I have a hp laptop with and my processors are amd turion64 X2 Mobile and i can't get any version of ubuntu to start [20:21] ejer: oooh..........excellent idea. [20:21] jessejazza, you can also edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out any lines that have "cdrom" in it. [20:21] it boots up to the loading screen and hangs [20:22] ejer: ok, off to d/l gutsy and see if it flies. thanks again man. [20:22] leeping2008 beat me to it [20:22] Xorothal: I believe in Windows it is WPA... but Windows never asks for a password to connect to it. [20:22] k gmachine_24 good luck [20:22] Corwin, after the install, or during ? [20:22] ejer: ok thanks but why? [20:22] why what [20:23] neverblue: while it is trying to start the live cd [20:23] gmachine_24 - I'm having trouble with a Broadcom card because there are no drivers. [20:23] Creationist: that is because it cache's it. You can likely do the same in linux. [20:23] why is it trying to install from the CD instead of downloading [20:23] Corwin, try the Alt. CD then [20:23] Creationist: the encryption of the network doesn't depend on the operatinf system of a client... [20:23] k [20:23] thnks [20:23] achandrashekar: Ah... I don't know the key for it. [20:23] !sources | jessejazza [20:23] jessejazza: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:24] Xorothal: No, I know... I meant that Windows reported it as WPA, I believe. This is my neighbor's laptop and I assume his network too. [20:24] neverblue: which iso should i use the i386 or the 64amd [20:24] jessejazza: it tries to install anything from cdrom first by default, to save bandwidth etc [20:24] thanks folks [20:24] Corwin: have over 2GB of RAM and a 64bit CPU? [20:24] Creationist: ah ok. Linux and WPA don't mix well (though it's getting better) [20:25] wpa is fine on linux, perfect [20:25] some APs I guess may give problems... [20:25] my dvd works pretty bad on ubuntu 7.10. it plays a while then freezes (it keeps reading something from the DVD unit), and after one minute it continues playing. what can be done? [20:25] i was able to get peap to work in linux so i would assume wpa is ok [20:25] ejer: i have 2g ram and i my processors are capable of 64 bit but i would rather use 32 if i could [20:25] Xorothal: The situation is this: My neighbor's laptop had a ton of spyware. He gave it to me to clean, which I did. But I want him to try Linux... save ME headaches... But it will be u seless unless I get his wireless to work. [20:25] use 32 Corwin [20:26] Creationist: have u checked if it is supported? [20:26] Creationist: then switch to wep to avoid a week-long headache [20:26] ejer: I think it said it was... [20:26] Corwin, do you have a 64bit system, and would like to use it, else, get the i386 [20:27] Creationist: i was not following, what is prob exactly [20:27] Xorothal: I'm booting into Windows to see what other info I can get. Is there a way to view the cached key? [20:27] neverblue;thnks a ton bye [20:27] use cain & able [20:27] ejer: The wireless card doesn't work in Linux... won't even see the network. [20:28] Creationist: checked this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [20:28] Creationist: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html [20:28] and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [20:29] does anyone have any suggestions with my cell phone problem? [20:29] could anyone tell me why is that Gutsy takes years to boot on my sony Vio as oppose to fiesty and hardy alpha which boot right away [20:29] reya276, compiz fusion possibly? [20:30] where can i find terminal commands? [20:30] hola a todos [20:30] list of terminal commands.. * [20:30] is there something I can disable because it literally takes about 5-6 mins to boot to the GDM screen [20:30] Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration can anyone help me with that [20:31] NiSoOo: google should list hundreds [20:31] oh, that's not compiz then [20:31] NiSoOo: there are thousands of terminal commands we can not list them all [20:31] http://www.ss64.com/bash/ [20:31] tnx [20:31] NativeAngels: check your php.ini file it's all in there... and it's not server support channel as far as i know [20:31] yet Hardy alpha 4 took seconds on the same laptop [20:32] how do i setup dual monitors on gutsy with a ATI x800? I've tried most of the howto's online but I can't get it to work... [20:32] Does anyone know how to modify user's home folders in proftd? [20:32] Hi there, my keyboard bindings are incorrect when I log into a remote computer using ssh. How do I edit the keyboard bindings? [20:32] in dapper [20:32] * johnc4510 has alpha not not been release yet?? [20:32] alpha 5 [20:33] Xorothal: Okay, that shows the network as WPA-PSK [20:33] where is the alpha 5 download? [20:33] johnc4510: doesn't seem so [20:33] fliegenderfrosch: ty [20:33] Creationist: as I said, wep is your easiest option [20:33] johnc4510: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/ still contains alpha4 only [20:33] what's the correct command line input, if i want mencoder to make an mp3 out of a wma?? [20:33] how to setup wi-fi from console with wpa key? [20:33] when I login to ftp, it send me to my home directory, rather than /var/www/apche2-default [20:33] NativeAngels: you probably need to install php5-mysql (or php4-mysql) - second time now [20:33] no it can't be compiz I was using it with feisty [20:33] Xorothal: Okay... I'm probably just going to have to abandon the linux idea for him, then.... way too much work for him if something goes wrong. [20:33] fliegenderfrosch: thx [20:34] they are installed [20:34] php5 is [20:34] Xorothal: He travels a lot and I'm sure he's not going to be able to reconfigure every router he comes across :) [20:34] Xorothal: Thanks for your help anyway. [20:34] Creationist: yeah... that's linux's only problem [20:34] johnc4510: and the release schedule says it was delayed from yesterday to today [20:34] np [20:34] reload apache NativeAngels, and I did not say php5, reread my comment [20:34] Xorothal: Well, wireless, gaming, and video editing are my angers for Linux. [20:34] Guys, when I use gparted to delete my previous home directory to extend my current one, the following error shows up: "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 7", what should I do? [20:34] fliegenderfrosch: yeah i saw that, i was hoping it would be up on the server by now though === ^SteVie^ is now known as |Stevie| [20:36] loaded [20:36] omazone: is the partition still mounted? [20:36] would a chroot change my default folder after authentication in proftd? [20:36] hi all [20:36] fliegenderfroschL no I unmounted it [20:36] anyone good with software raid? [20:37] bluefoxx: almost forgot to ask, should I run the the dpkg-reconfigure from the Ubuntu 6.1 or 7.x CD? [20:37] hey anyone have any thoughts on my prob? cant get direct rendering=yes, no matter if i install by hand or by the restricted-manager [20:37] Hi all, anyone know if there's a tool to convert the opeoffice presentations into a video file? [20:37] Hi all, I need to get gutsy netinstall working with a proxy [20:37] with an nvidia 7600 [20:38] but the alternate installer no longer has a proxy settings option [20:38] how might I do this? [20:38] i have 2 80gb scsi drives that I want to mirror (raid 1). I already have data on /dev/sda1, so i really want to just mirror my existing data to the other 80gb drive [20:38] i've tried to use mdadm, but it won't create the array because /dev/sda is mounted [20:38] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=598580 [20:39] Guys, when I use gparted to delete my previous home directory to extend my current one, the following error shows up: "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 7", what should I do? [20:39] I can't lose the data that i have on my current drive though [20:39] the x log file doesn't really say anything to me, ditto dmesg [20:39] kenpotf: you need to use fdisk, make both disks raid disks (don't do this to a disk with data on it), then you need to tell mdadm to initialize right raid level on them, then copy data on once raid construction complete [20:39] kenpotf: use a livecd. [20:39] and it happens with my xorg.conf, and the nvidia one [20:39] Howdy all. Is there a way to rerun the xorg configuration now that I have hooked up my external LCD monitor to my laptop? === scott_ is now known as arrrghhh [20:40] Windows Vista is better than Gutsy [20:40] :o [20:40] is there not a way to just add both disks to a raid without losing my data? [20:40] Hi all, I need to get gutsy alternate netinstall working with a proxy, but the option no longer exists in the ubuntu-installer. How can I do this? [20:40] kenpotf: a non-raid way to mirror the data would be using rsync [20:40] Hi huston i got a prob. How to i get my windows boot back?? Now i just can boot ubuntu, and Startup manager can't fint the windoes bootfile. :/ [20:40] ah [20:40] is that easy enough? [20:40] hello [20:40] sdsheeks: you mean something like "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?

Would that detect my external monitor? [20:41] sdsheeks: btw: if your graphics driver supports it, xrandr is just great for setting up external displays [20:41] perfect! thanks ejer!!

How can I do this? [20:44] sdsheeks: afaik dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should recognize all monitors [20:44] ejer: if I change on the laptop monitor it changes on the external [20:44] fliegenderfrosch: okay thanks i'll give that a try [20:44] sdsheeks: but i haven't tried it myself [20:44] sdsheeks: it should show up in nvidia-settings then [20:44] ejer: that is what iw as thinking but it just has "screen 0" [20:45] so as i see it ubuntu only supports one type of USB modem [20:45] fliegenderfrosch: okay nvidia-settings see is and wants to know if I want - seperate x screen or twinview === Kaz is now known as Kaz` [20:45] hello all [20:45] ***where i have to put modules if i want to modprobe it? ,i got Module sis7019.ko not found.

[20:46] johnny2008: it is read only [20:46] sdsheeks: twinview = one big desktop, seperate X means two seperate desktops [20:46] sdsheeks: with twinview the desktop is extended and you can move windows between the screens [20:46] johnny2008: it does not [20:46] Anyone familiar with PROFTPD [20:46] ejer: okay thanks guys i want a seperate x screen then..i have my laptop lid closed and don't plan on using the screen [20:46] so I cant run livecd and use firefox? [20:46] yep sdsheeks [20:46] johnny2008: you can but don't expect it to save anything to disk... [20:46] johnny2008: you can, but all changes are thrown out when you reboot [20:46] omazone: type mount, then umount the devices above 7 [20:47] ejer: okay here goes :) [20:47] johnny2008: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [20:47] omazone: make sure no files are in use first [20:47] if you want to save settings johnny2008 [20:47] ejer: so it does make changes, how?? [20:48] ? johnny2008 what is question [20:48] sdsheeks: just plugging in the screen and rebooting doesn't help? [20:48] DrX, but the only devisec above 7 are my current devices, so they can't be unmounted. [20:48] devices** [20:48] omazone: you need to boot into livecd to do this, not from a running disk [20:49] johnny2008: it does only save cookies & co in RAM, so after a reboot they are gone [20:49] I don't understand how changing a table can be such a prolonged and difficult task. I'd have it done yesterday if this was php ... [20:49] fliegenderfrosch: ok sounds secure :) [20:49] <_AuRyN> hi everybody [20:49] Will KDE 4 be implemented in the next Kubuntu releases? (8.04 or 8.10) [20:50] is there some one who can help me on some network issues [20:50] Parsec300: yes it will [20:50] Should I set up virtual users in proftd? or really on already created system users [20:50] okay seems to be working now [20:50] it will be installable, but not by default afaik Parsec300 [20:50] seems like this is my problem [20:50] what you got zero coo [20:50] I'm going crazy with this [20:50] Hi, Where i have to put modules if i want to modprobe it? ,i got Module sis7019.ko not found.

[20:51] jarrettgreen: http://archiv.debianhowto.de/en/proftpd/c_proftpd.html [20:51] i put in /lib/modules/'kernel version'/kernel/sound/ [20:51] Ok, so can I install it already on 8.04 and have it start by default? I've installed the beta in VMware [20:51] i'm using the last ubuntu release, and it seems that the del key is disabled when running a screen [20:51] sdsheeks: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:51] any idea why?

After that no more updates? [20:54] how to install mythbuntu [20:54] jarrettgreen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer more ways to do it [20:54] Parsec300: i think so. however, by then ubuntu 8.10 will be available [20:54] Parsec300: sorry, i didn't see the "why" [20:55] fliegenderfrosch: which will have KDE 4 by default? [20:55] !lts [20:55] When is 8.10 scheduled for official release anyway? [20:55] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[20:55] plen0x_: the versioning is . :) [20:55] Parsec300, plen0x_: the ubuntu version number stands for year.month of the release [20:56] please how can i install mythubntu [20:56] Aha, that makes more sense then.

[21:06] luisa: delete ~/.wine [21:06] luisa: winecfg [21:06] >_> lol thanks [21:07] luisa: deleting .wine will delete all your windows apps as well, so be careful [21:07] Oh poo [21:07] Its because... [21:07] luisa: either of the above from odd-rationale or ejer work :) [21:07] what does ltsp-update-image? [21:07] Oh my god it worked [21:07] I cant even change the desktop picture [21:07] All the apps work fine, but the text shows the same color as the background of the apps, so I cant read anything [21:07] luisa: rm ~/.wine set wine to how you were when you first installed it. [21:08] luisa: did you change themes? [21:08] devong: it will reset all your gnome settings, but deleting .gnome* and .gconf* will reset stuff [21:08] so...what odd just said is what you want luisa :) [21:08] I dont even know how to change themes, prince_jammys :P [21:08] hi there, [21:08] delete /.wine [21:08] luisa: check winecfg, it's possible that there's a problem there [21:08] exit [21:08] Hey all. How do i add a directory to my path === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [21:09] luisa: rm -f ~/.wine/*.reg should reset stuff and leave your programs intact [21:09] speeddemon8803: but that will delete the apps as well, wouldn't it? [21:09] fliegenderfrosch: works awesome after a reboot [21:09] but just running winecfg you should be able to change stuff [21:09] why not check if there's something less radical than deleting the whole directory and the installed programs? [21:09] Prince_Jammys thing is, I cant even read whats on that winecfg because the text is the same color as the background of the window [21:09] is there a centralized software management tool for networks?

[21:17] ejer: yep [21:17] chazco: look at the font settings in the application, sometimes sizes or kerning gets changed [21:17] anyone have a good ubuntu theme they would like to share? [21:17] ejer / cobolfoo: Thank you, will look into [21:17] alison: blubuntu [21:18] ejer - Cant find anything obvious, its the same app as im using on Windows, but renders wrong on Ubuntu. Afaiks the only thing it could be is the fonts... [21:18] Hey guys, the shortcut on my keyboard to change volume changes the "Speaker" channels volume, but i want it to change the "Volume" channels volume, how can i change it? [21:18] alison_oxo: look at http://art.gnome.org/ under top rated... [21:18] @alison_oxo didn't you found something on www.gnome-look.org? [21:18] i found "some" at gnome-look === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [21:18] not a lot to my taste :) [21:18] chazco: could be lots of stuff, including bugs... it is not uncommon for rendering to be different across two platforms, web pages will look different, etc... [21:19] alison_oxo: have a look at kims-area.com [21:19] ejer: Will that work if this machine is only ever connected to over SSH? The file had to be created, so it seems like it wont work [21:19] when i do apt-get remove pidgin all files with pdigin doesnt get removed. ist possible to do with purge or something?

[21:19] ejer: it looks like it suits my needs, thanks, I will give it a shot [21:19] ejer - As I understand the application it is the same code base. It uses their own file format filters and so on. The only aspect that seems to be OS dependant is OLE (not used here) and fonts... [21:19] does anyone knows about sysvinit? i get errors while dist-upgrade [21:19] esteth: should do, bash_profile should be sourced from ssh login [21:19] alison_oxo, blubuntu is a pretty simple one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Blubuntu , nothing fancy but better than the default orange/brown one [21:20] Just trying to avoid switching back to Windows [21:20] :( [21:20] thanx all helper , [21:20] im using bluejoy theme atm [21:20] and overglossed [21:20] Hey guys, the shortcut on my keyboard to change volume changes the "Speaker" channels volume, but i want it to change the "Volume" channels volume, how can i change it?

If not, is there a better place to ask? [21:21] lucid, that sounds like a hardware issue...hmmm [21:21] luciddr34m3r: what does 'not work' mean? when you unplug from power it dies? [21:21] ejer - The documents dont display as the do on Windows. Without the msfonts the app uses the best it can find, which comes close to rendering correctly, but not quite. With the msfonts the document renders badly (fonts visibly not padded out) and can end up losing over a page (but not losing it if that makes sense) [21:21] how can umonth my sda1 disc lebel from desktop [21:22] Err, I was here uyesturday about network manager yea i installed the vpn plugin and it came back..then u upgraded and rebooted and its the same as it was again [21:22] Yeah, it doesnt charge when I boot with it in. If the laptop is on and I remove it and put it back in, my keyboard and mouse lock up, but it starts charging. [21:22] chazco: you could try copying the fonts into the fonts folder inside wine [21:22] prince_jammys - Im not using Wine, it has a native Linux version [21:22] chazco: very possible problem is within document itself.. i have never even heard of the app you are using, have you considered using OO or pdf? [21:22] chazco: oh ok, sorry [21:22] so here's a question: when I usermod my own home directory, does that take place immediately or on relogin - the reason I ask, is when I ftp'd in right after doing that, it didn't work, but then I relogged in to see if it took on the shell and then it worked [21:22] ejer: one last question; on the faq of puppet they continuously mention "server", can I read "client" here? [21:22] bulkah: you mean that the partition is still mouted, but the icon doesn't show up anymore? [21:22] Me and maybe 10 other classmates have the same exact laptop with ubuntu on it, and they don't have a problem... but I've tested with their batteries with no luck. [21:22] s/mention/mentions/ [21:22] jarrettgreen, relogin needed [21:23] ejer - Happens with mutliple documents... OO gets it worse than Textmaker (its fairly popular). PDF isnt accepted at uni :( [21:23] twosouls82: i think it needs a 'server', a central place you control clients from, this would be your workstation I suppose in some setups [21:23] ejer - PDF also doesnt solve the problem if i need to download a .doc and print it here [21:23] well OO handles .doc fine [21:23] hello, didn't someone made a distro-upgrade and get problems with sysvinit? [21:23] Oddly enough, the power manager claims I have two battery bays, both at 0%. But I have only 1 bay.

[21:24] twosouls82: clients can be servers... clients are machines accepting patches etc.... they are puppet clients altho they may be mail servers etc.. [21:24] <_mug> hail to the toast :P [21:24] ejer - I would agree - except when converted to .odt or even .tmd (the Textmaker) format it still happens. I'm 99% sure its something to do with the MS fonts [21:25] my laptop was opening i take an err massge that is : [21:25] If only because installing them has such a drastic (and oddly, bad) effect on the apperance [21:25] chazco: as long as MS fonts are installed, what other problem do you think it could be then [21:25] pci bug # 81 what is this [21:25] ejer - I was thinking something preventing the usual padding/spacing or something [21:25] and what i must must do [21:25] if you want to send me an example I will look chazco [21:25] chazco, you have reset the font size etc? [21:26] ejer, speeddemon8803: any of that batter info help at all, or ring any bells? i couldnt find any info on a similar problem online, and already looked in the help forum [21:26] ejer - Tried everything that seems obvious (although the solution probably will be simple)... am trying a few last ideas. If I dont make progress i'll send you an example [21:26] hey all, need a hand getting my vid card drivers working (nvidia 7600gt, on gutsy). when drivers install with restricted manager, X won't start at all after reboot ("no screens found"), when installing by hand the drivers work, but direct rendering is off [21:26] luciddr34m3r: I just bought a new battery about a week ago. [21:26] didn't no one has problems with sysvinit? [21:26] ok, after a horrible surprise system crash and rebooting a few times, i got into the scsi bios util[usb was screwed up for some reason] and did a low level format on the scsi drive, it works fine and just formatted it to ext3. also got sata working again, cable was shorting itself out inside somehow, twisted it around and rebooted a bunch of times and now its back in hope of not having to reboot until absoulutely needed> [21:27] i've tried switching up the xorg.conf a few times, no dice [21:27] that is a hardware problem luciddr34m3r IMO, try cleaning the battery contacts in laptop with pencil eraser [21:27] Hey guys, the shortcut on my keyboard to change volume changes the "Speaker" channels volume, but i want it to change the "Volume" channels volume, how can i change it?

[21:28] this device kinda works but when booting up, the device cause ubuntu to stall for about 2 minutes [21:28] my only problem is that for some reason i can't seem to get past either "waiting for root file system" or "loading hardware drivers" when booting normally sometimes. taking out the un-used wi-fi card has taken care of the latter, but the former still persists D: any suggestions? [21:28] so boot up time is very lengthy [21:28] does anyone know how to properly install this device? [21:29] and im also wondering how hot plugging workss in linux, as at the store i go to the hot plug both saa and scsi drives w/o rebooting theyr comps, which run linux [21:30] So I'm home for the weekend, which means my normal nfs share isn't available [21:30] Whenever automount is running, it seems like nautilus won't start and I have some problems logging in sometimes [21:30] and i hope to get some more scsi drives and hot plug them into the system, mount them/configure them as some sort of RAID setup, and backup my system across them [21:30] however, stopping automount gives me Couldn't stop automount for /net [21:30] Any idea?

[21:53] chase_: they are free, look for clamav [21:54] !firewall | chase_ [21:54] chase_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

You can install it by typing: [21:55] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [21:55] yeah i did that [21:56] chase_: iptables is the firewall. its built into the kernel [21:56] chase get a spare pc and run OpenBSD on it [21:56] maco - haha nice! good wi-fi in class? [21:56] chase_: you are a million times safer on ubuntu :) [21:56] alison_oxo: you did what? [21:56] ejer - I here :) [21:56] chase_: you can modify its rules manually using the iptables command or use a graphical one like firestarter [21:56] approximately [21:56] installed that manager [21:56] Anyone know why the Ubuntu Server 7.1 Image is so slow. I've tried many different CDs and CD-Drives and they all are SO SLOW [21:56] is there an easyway to change the mount path and name of an usb connected storage device like a usbdrive? [21:56] compizconfig-settings-manager [21:56] maco - excellent, I see! thanks [21:56] you guys are helpful [21:56] when i run gnome-obex-server I get "unable to initialize OBEX source" and "coulnd't initialise OBEX listener" [21:56] alison_oxo: follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [21:56] I appreciate it [21:56] WhiteNerd try the DVD [21:56] this is my new channel :) [21:56] chase_: all ports are technically open by default, but nothing listens on any of them by default. if you start a service like sshd, itll listen on its port and the rest will reject all data [21:56] and more RAM [21:56] How could I partition the HD of a notebook with 32 of ram? [21:57] maco - -- I see! [21:57] ok "ccsm" opens up advanced desktop effects [21:57] Sudobash: Does the DVD run any faster? [21:57] tinin fdisk [21:57] yes [21:57] I will retrieve "Firestarter" [21:57] alison_oxo: good [21:57] installs much quicker also [21:57] chase_, you don't need it [21:57] alison_oxo: look around there for "video plugin" [21:57] ompaul--- hmmm ok... [21:57] does anyone know of a way to send an email from cli, and attach a file? [21:58] chase_: nothing listens on any ports by default, so nothing can get in [21:58] does any one know how to fully uninstall compiz from ubuntu including all config files from the home folder for it [21:58] sudobash I mean, do I need live cd with fdisk? [21:58] ok wait prince_jammys [21:58] riddlebox: there must be lots of mail-clients for command line out there.. tried google? [21:58] Thanks [21:58] alison_oxo: luck? [21:58] !virus > chase_ (check the message from the bot - might help understand that this is not the same as the platform you are most likely moving from) [21:58] it can run off of floppy [21:58] julabask: why not just turn it off [21:58] Just to test it out, I purchased a DVD media kit on the Sun website [21:58] riddlebox: you're going to use it in a script? [21:58] anyone know a channel where i can ask questions on general-hardware issues? [21:58] it says i have "blur" effect enabled, but it isnt working [21:58] do i need to restart x ? [21:58] does any one know how to fully uninstall compiz from ubuntu including all config files from the home folder for it or old config files that could be hiding. [21:58] you can make one with a 2000 installation i think [21:58] Slart, yes [21:58] riddlebox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailx [21:58] or you can download a fdisk boot image [21:58] alison_oxo, the best thing wuold be to enable wobbly windows and test if your windows when you drag them move wobbly :-) [21:59] thanks [21:59] and use rawrite to write it to floppy [21:59] that is the easiest to check [21:59] alison_oxo: try it. or you could do metacity --replace and then compiz --replace [21:59] does anyone experience preference windows that aren't big enough for the content their meant to display? [21:59] julabask, sounds like your missing a step in the install, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and then restart, that normally solves the problem with ati radeon or ati radeon xpress cards [21:59] chase_: if someone was already in there...somehow...like if you installed a trojan or something and it's phoning home... it could send info, but nobody can get in unless there's a service listening (like ssh) and they get in through that service (and ssh is about the only one that's going to let htem execute commands on your box) but by default there's no ssh server installed anyway. you're 100% secure by default [21:59] sometimes videos are just displayed as pink and greenish lines. what could be going wrong? [21:59] chase_: at least as far as remote is concerned... [21:59] fiddybux: yes.. usually I just resize them [21:59] chase_: with physical access, there's no such thing as security [21:59] rinaldi_: can be encrypted video [21:59] ejer: because i installed my ubuntu with a home folder from another version of 7.10 ubuntu but ubuntu seems to have held on to olde config files from my other version and is getting confuse [21:59] slart: yes i resize all the time [22:00] ejer: because i installed my ubuntu with a home folder from another version of 7.10 ubuntu but ubuntu seems to have held on to olde config files from my other version and is getting confused [22:00] maco - yeah [22:00] slart: it's annoying [22:00] macogw, i disagree. If you can overflow a buffer and fill it with shellcode, you could, if the program you've exploited had root, get a rootshell ;-) [22:00] julabask: sudo aptitude purge compiz [22:00] i dont understand why my my desktop effects are not working [22:00] yep [22:00] slart: firefox is a bugger for it [22:00] ejer: well it happens to all my videos for a while, but a reboot or simply waiting then trying again will do the trick.... [22:00] iositd: ok fine, you're 99% secure :P [22:00] can someone walk me through how to install and compile my first ubuntu program via terminal [22:00] its installed, i enabled the effects, but i dont get the wobbly effect or blur [22:00] macogw, yeah that's more like it :p [22:00] macogw, compare that to the 1% secure from m$ [22:00] rinaldi_: see if it happens when you are running an opengl prog like google earth [22:00] tdawgedogg: what program is it? [22:00] hamachi [22:01] iositd: thats not something a firewall has any effect on though...well, except the phone home part...in which case you block outgoing ports, not incoming ones [22:01] yeah, physical is physical :) [22:01] i didnt see it on the respitories [22:01] i did the purge and then reinstall seemed to not help i am going to try the xgl install package someone recomended above [22:01] then I can call the cops [22:01] tdawgedogg: never heard of it.. better ask someone that has worked with it before [22:01] macogw, if it's a smart firewall it'll filter out the shellcode and thus preventing the overflow ;-) [22:01] ejer: also if i disable/enable compiz (depending on what its on in the first place) it works too, but il give google earth a try [22:01] its not hard i just have to follow the wiki [22:02] rinaldi_: i am not sure why, but it happens when using compiz and an opengl app [22:02] i know how to run the program....just getting it installed and where to put it is hard for me [22:02] im a linux nub [22:02] tdawgedogg: ok.. lemme check the wiki.. you have the source downloaded? [22:02] tdawgedogg: i install hamachi all the time [22:02] yeah heres link' [22:02] won't it just work with checkinstall?

I want to start a server application through ssh, but want it to keep running after i logout. [22:03] assuming you have sudo apt-get build-essential installed [22:03] tdawgedogg: you just do 'tar zxvf hamachi-0.9.tar,gz', cd hamachi, sudo make install, sudo tuncfg [22:03] I know that here is about ubuntu... Id like to know what package to install to have sound themes playing in gnome!!! === madmaxmad is now known as mad_max02 [22:03] from what directory === serkan_cetin_ is now known as serkan_cetin [22:03] tdawgedogg: ok.. you have the source.. in a tar.gz file? [22:03] where do i download hamachi too [22:03] desktop [22:03] tdawgedogg: but that only gives you a cli application, no gui... you have to then install hamachi-gui which takes all sorts of dependencies [22:03] esteth: 'program &' or use screen [22:03] tdawgedogg: desktop is fine [22:04] tdawgedogg: unless you are pretty comfortable installing stuff, this is gonna be a harder one for ya [22:04] shit i want hamachi like windows version [22:04] help! running gnome-obex-server gives me this: couldn't initialise OBEX listener [22:04] shit...why isnt this one on the respitories [22:04] xserve-xgl did not fix it [22:04] void^: I'll need screen then, unfortunately. & doesn't detach the process, only lets you keep using the terminal [22:04] its a popular as hell program [22:04] !language | tdawgedogg [22:04] tdawgedogg: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[22:07] is there a command to upgrade pidgin through terminal? [22:07] argh! this is sooo frustrating. ubuntu installs nicely, I do a 'aptitude update' and 'aptitude safe-upgrade', install the restricted drivers set including nvidia into xorg and set up compiz (flat file). everything works fine and speedy, until I reboot. then the machine just halts and init of either ssh or cupsd, but I can still go to another console and log in as a normal user. using sudo doens't work, nor do 'su -' (have set a root passwd).

[22:07] Hey, can some one help me it seems everytime i reboot network-manager is removed....like if i rebooted right now id have to put CD in and reinstall network-manager to be able to connect to wireless.. [22:07] because when i reboot it doesnt hav enable roaming and the applet doesnt load even if i did nm-applet [22:07] why safe-upgrade tolecnal [22:07] fiddybux, any ideas? [22:08] iKap >> perhaps # sudo apt-get upgrade [22:08] tushyd...check PM [22:08] ejer: because when I use 'aptitude upgrade' it tells me to use 'safe-upgrade' instead [22:08] fiddybux, how do I?

From Flash website it doesnt work, from Add/Remove it doesn't work. [22:09] ASTURIAS: not unless you tell us what it is [22:09] ejer: and yes, I use aptitude instead of apt-get, but that really shouldn't matter should it [22:09] nope [22:09] luisa: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:09] tushyd: do you have the following installed? gnome-vfs-obexftp, libopenobex1, openobex-apps [22:09] ejer: videos work ok like that, with or without an opengl app running [22:10] rinaldi_: yup, so edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and change default video device [22:10] I need to add some ram to this notebook. It has a pc66 sdram sodimm slot. Would a pc100 or pc133 work too? [22:10] tolecnal: flash is already the newest version, but firefox keeps telling me i need flash to see vids [22:10] does a swap partition have to be right next to the ext3 partition [22:10] or can it be on the other side of the drive [22:10] tinin: should be backward compatible, as long as the pins line up [22:10] I have Ubuntu in one of my laptops, but now I'mtrying to install it with the Live CD on another laptop and it is extremely slow,so, I downloaded the Alternate version and since my CD Rom does not work, I used an USB, the installation loads but it stops with this eror:An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive., Is that a bug?, because I go back and nothing happens!!! [22:11] fiddybux, i'm not sure about libopenobex1 but the others i do [22:11] ubuntu it can be anywhere [22:11] luisa: start by removing it and then reinstall it.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge flash-plugin-nonfree". [22:11] fiddybux, actually i do [22:11] tushyd: install that...I'm sure I had the same problem and that fixed it [22:11] ASTURIAS: it means your network is not up usually [22:11] cool [22:11] luisa: start by removing it and then reinstall it.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree"... then "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [22:11] fiddybux thanx [22:11] ejer: the strange thing is, the system does not halt when booting into single user. and all commands work fine without a hitch, but as soon as I boot into a normal boot it hangs. [22:11] can i specify ubuntu to use a partition already made? [22:11] fiddybux, says i already have it [22:12] oh wait nevermind i thought this partition was 2 gigs its 2 megs [22:12] tushyd: ok...well what was the error you get? [22:12] I have done sudo chown root somefile, how do I make it so noone but root can open it? [22:12] if it is compatible and healthy [22:12] luisa: they've been updating that flash plugin so many times now..

[22:32] ejer: then i wouldnt get the grub error message when i took it out [22:32] LHX2: the only other install of Ubuntu is the alternate but its not small enough [22:32] WhiteNerd: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/7.10/release/xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso is 566M [22:32] Can this error message : An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive, while installing Ubuntu occurs because the network is not configured correctly? [22:32] why is my /var directory telling me its read-only when mount says it isnt? [22:32] Is Xubuntu just a good and up-to-date? [22:33] Well, you could always go from a pervious version of Ubuntu that has a smaller ISO, and then update it from that version to the next. [22:33] aladdinsane: it is easy to fix, follow instructions from link I posted back up a bit, or type !grub [22:33] anyone know what file systems LVM supports? [22:33] WhiteNerd: I believe the only difference is it uses XFCE4 instead of gnome [22:33] WhiteNerd: yes, comes with dif window manager, but you can install gnome after [22:33] ASTURIAS, yes when you get stuck on that screen you just have to choose to not configure the network and manually configure it after you get to the desktop [22:33] Well it works for now anyways [22:33] thanks [22:33] ejer: yeah im trying to find it right now [22:33] AtomicSpark: all regular linux ones at least [22:33] Welcome [22:34] So, who here is experienced at writing scripts? [22:34] Yes, but it wont let me proceed with the installation if it cannot connect to a mirror... How can I skip it if I'm using the Alternate 7.10 Gutsy [22:34] ejer: what about FAT? i know ubuntu's partition manager can make a FAT partition, if i could have that on a LVM too that would be great. mm system wide encryption. [22:34] why would you want that AtomicSpark [22:35] since windows won't read LVM that I know of [22:35] I'm trying to share the speakers on my XP machine with my Ubuntu system over my network. I got PulseAudio for Ubuntu and Windows, but the version for Windows doesn't work. Are there any alternatives? [22:35] ejer: There are programs available for Windows to allow it to read other formats. [22:35] hey. I'm trying to compile alsa from the source, but I get "Please specify the correct location via ALSAKERNELDIR environment variable". Any ideas? [22:35] ejer: oh it wont? darn. [22:35] draigfaol: LVM? [22:35] Yep. [22:36] Ayabara: Is there a particular reason you need to install from source and not just use a binary? [22:36] I have it on this desktop. [22:36] ejer: I wanted to duel boot and have encrypted LVM underneeth it all. guess I cant do that. :\ [22:36] hello, where can i download the network installer for ubuntu? (it's a small iso file, 30mb or so) [22:36] hello all. [22:36] I'll be back. [22:36] <[chr0n0s]> hi, i want to connect to both wifi and ethernet at the same time, how do i go about doing that ? [22:36] Dinner time. [22:36] anyone here familiar w/ Virtual Box and configuring Host Network Interface? [22:36] chr0n0s: Network Settings. === draigfaol is now known as Draigfaol-away [22:36] how can i completely remove kde from my comp? i installed with> "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and i tried removing it via "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" but didn't remove much of anything. [22:36] LHX2: yep. there's a bug in alsa for my laptop (dell xps m1530), and I'm helping the alsa-devels to test a fix [22:36] AtomicSpark: i think you can do it if you have a separate /boot partition [22:37] AtomicSpark: i guess you can read LVM http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs but it is new and I would not trust it at all, and I am sure the encryption would be nearly impossible to do properly [22:37] does installing the kubuntu package auto-remove gnome? [22:37] ejer: HUH?? [22:37] you may be able to just change the windows manager [22:37] Whenever I try to run fglrxinfo or glxinfo --display :0 it kills X. Where can I look for error messages/output? [22:37] ejer: its not super new and its encryption is just fine... [22:37] **(Anyone familiar with Virtualbox and Host Interface Networking setup - tap/br/tun ??? [22:38] macogw: you think he could set up a reliable LVM container with encrypted filesystem and dual boot on it? [22:38] ejer: VM as in Virtual Machine extensions for the kernel is new, but the Volume Manager isnt [22:38] Ayabara: I understand... it sounds like either ./configure isn't picking up where the alsa kernel is... maybe find the directory where the alsakernal is and specifiy with with a "setevn XXXXXX XXXXXX" [22:38] macogw: we are talking about a windows LVM driver [22:38] which is new [22:38] Ayabara: oops I meant "setenv VARIABLE /foo/bar/" [22:38] ejer: ooo i thought just the linux was supposed to be encrypted [22:39] macogw: :) "A beta version of Virtual Volumes is now available. This is a technology preview for Explore2fs 2. Virtual Volumes also has the ability to read ReiserFS and many other filesystems." [22:39] I'm trying to share the speakers on my XP machine with my Ubuntu system over my network. I got PulseAudio for Ubuntu and Windows, but the version for Windows doesn't work. Are there any alternatives? [22:39] TheDoyle: NAT wont work? [22:39] how can i change the system's main font? [22:39] LHX2: ok. there's no ./configure, so I tried the ./hgcompile. that's the one giving the error [22:39] NiSoOo: for the GUI stuff? system -> preferences -> appearance [22:39] How can I skip the "Choose a mirror to download files from the archive" if I click that I do not want to configure the network and it takes me back, using Ubuntu-alternate-7.10-Gutsy.iso [22:39] and is there a diffrence between windows & linux font [22:40] tnx macogw [22:41] I <3 this OS [22:41] can anyone help me setup a ssh tunnel on my linux machine so i can vnc in from any windows machine?

[22:43] ForzaPalermo: same thing, but you need ports opened, and you would use IP instead of remotemachine [22:43] How can I skip the "Choose a mirror to download files from the archive" if I click that I do not want to configure the network and it takes me back, using Ubuntu-alternate-7.10-Gutsy.iso [22:43] bzaks: Huh?

[22:45] i ave a port open already for when i vnc in [22:45] eg 5900 [22:45] i just want to use secure tunneling [22:45] that is bad [22:45] close that, open port 22 [22:45] then do what I said [22:46] i hear port 22 is the worst one to open [22:46] LOL [22:46] hehe [22:46] you hear wrong [22:46] no kidding. the only thing that goes through there is encrypted traffic [22:46] you can run ssh on any port, this is the default [22:46] ok, so help me out here [22:46] having port 5900 open and vncserver running is about the worst thing I have heard of :) [22:46] i dl and install ssh... or open ssh?

[22:59] besides compiling it to my system [22:59] evilbug: system administration login window local for more themes sudo apt-get install gdm-themes [23:00] from what i understand, vista replaces boot.ini with BRE or something to that effect, so i can't boot into my other OSs at will, i have to go through Vista's POS boot manager to get into XP... [23:00] thanks lordleemo [23:00] shr00mie: i would think grub could handle this [23:00] what would be really nice is if i could bypass that with grub and simply allow grub to manage them all for me and allow me to boot into each one individually... [23:00] you could just get rid of vista and make the world a happier place. [23:00] shr00mie follow the guide to get grub back after installing windoes [23:00] right...;) [23:00] lol, just kidding [23:00] !grub | shr00mie [23:00] shr00mie: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

You're going to need to download the *.debs and burn them to cd [23:04] Squawk: who said that ???

[23:54] For some reason I can't click on anything on my desktop [23:54] ForzaPalermo: Looks like standard setup - except the port [23:55] AntiUSA: maybe you are looking for: chmod +x the_file [23:55] AntiUSA, nice nick [23:55] LHX2: please? :P [23:55] AntiUSA: what kind on execuatable ??? ubuntu executable .deb file ?? [23:55] I cant'y open home folder, recycling bin or any other folder as a matter of fact. [23:55] icanhasadmin: if I can sure, unfortunantely mine worked just fine out of the box... do you have multiple soundcards in your computer? [23:55] skaflem, read my IM, i dont want to get banned for flooding [23:55] no [23:56] edd24, R U doubleclicking? [23:56] icanhasadmin: do you have a soundcard Plus motherboard soundcard? [23:56] ForzaPalermo: ssh is running :) [23:56] i want women in málaga [23:56] No, laptop, built in sound [23:56] ATI HDA SB450 ALC861 [23:56] hi edd24: press ctrl alt and back space....by doing this you will restart your xserver...do that [23:56] and it will work [23:56] icanhasadmin: do you know your laptops hardward sound card and what alsa driver it uses? heheh there we go [23:56] Yes indeed. [23:56] Yes, I have tried nearly everything along those lines [23:56] skaflem, do i want a passphrase? [23:57] lucas__, wrong channel [23:57] icanhasadmin: are you installing binary? is alsa installed and just won't work? [23:57] I've gotten to the point where i decompiled my DSDT to see if maybe the problem was there. [23:57] ForzaPalermo: Yes, you do :) [23:57] icanhasadmin: which laptop... [23:57] Alsa installed fine, it even recognizes, just no sound [23:57] ok [23:57] this is what i use from putty? [23:57] I tried ctrl alt backspace, no different when I log Back in. [23:57] Technoid_India: you can probably guess the laptop, Toshiba a105 series [23:57] hi [23:57] icanhasadmin: have you used alsaconf to make sure the mixer levels aren't 0? [23:57] anyone installed ubuntu on a mac [23:57] icanhasadmin: k... [23:57] does ubuntu have ppc support? [23:58] !ppc | cathya [23:58] cathya: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [23:58] LHX2: thank you for suggestions like that, it's probabaly something stupid i missed, i'll check now [23:58] no cathya [23:58] then you might have to edit u r xorg.conf file /etc/X11 folder... [23:58] I ought to probably be focusing on getting one thing working at a time - but I'm having trouble with the following three things: 1. I'm running 2x 6600GT in SLI, and 7.10 doesn't seem to like the second adaptor much, changing its driver to the generic nvidia driver. 2. OpenGL seems to be buggered either as a result, or in general, and I've checked all the modules I can think of... 3. I can't get my wired 360 controller to work :< [23:58] ok so it should work on my mac? [23:58] When I'm starting up, at the boot medu when it is loadin, it takes about 5 minutes for the NFS daemon to load, I'm not quite sure if thta means anything. [23:58] icanhasadmin: I know this isn't Ubuntu related, but checking out www.archlinux.org 's wiki on alsa is great for manual configuration informaiton [23:58] skaflem, i still get connection refused [23:59] and you may have to add manually some of the setting in xorg.conf file, do google for xorg description, you will get some idea how to do that.. [23:59] I will, I think I have, and I will continue to. If I recompile one more cust version of alsa only not to work, i will pull my hair out [23:59] ForzaPalermo, did you accept the key? [23:59] About a week ago I tried to make a static ip address, for some reason it didn't work, it seems like every since then its been happening. [23:59] I'm having a glx issue of when i open glxgears instead of having gears up there, the gears are scattered accross that level of screen [23:59] Jupp2, i think i messed up there [23:59] ForzaPalermo: connection refused when you try putty ? Remeber to change the port from 22 to 5900 in putty before connecting [23:59] yes putty [23:59] icanhasadmin: have you read somewhere the your hardware needs a custom compile?
