[00:00] sMonk: ok now be careful because any changes will affect those partitions [00:00] sMonk: let's look around first and see what happened [00:00] yup, I just tried to use dolphin on my root folder, and it says permission denied [00:00] but I can get my home folder [00:01] Anyone know how to fix TV Time? [00:01] sMonk: ls -ld /mnt/workspace/dev/vboxdrv [00:03] No such file or directory [00:03] sMonk: ok i think what has to be done is to chroot into that partition [00:04] my home folder has a .Virtualbox folder.. no help? [00:04] but Dolphin still says that Access is denied to my /root folder [00:05] sMonk: close dolphin [00:05] ok [00:05] /dev is a virtual filesystem created by the kernel, it won't have anything (useful) unless it's on the real root fs [00:05] stdin:: is this correct now? mount -t proc none /mnt/workspace/proc [00:06] prince_jammys: /dev doesn't really exist [00:06] that would work yeah, also "mount -t proc proc /whatecer" [00:06] stdin I have a pastbin of the problem he's helping me with, do you want to see it? [00:06] stdin: followed by mount -o bind /dev /mnt/workspace/dev [00:06] prince_jammys: /proc doesn't really exist either :) [00:07] daSKreech: right, so we chroot into his / partition [00:07] sMonk: yeah [00:07] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57274/ [00:07] binding or mounting a new proc doesn't matter, same effect there [00:07] sMonk: mount -t proc none /mnt/workspace/proc [00:08] ok [00:08] sMonk: how long ago did you install virtualbox? [00:08] sMonk: mount -o bind /dev /mnt/workspace/dev [00:08] ok [00:08] sMonk: chroot /mnt/workspace /bin/bash [00:09] anyone know which package is libsdl? [00:09] ok [00:09] sMonk: export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" [00:09] sMonk: might want answer stdin :) [00:09] Man, this TV tuner is making me so frustrated. [00:09] karl_: I would assume libsdl [00:10] !find libsdl*.so [00:10] Found: libsdl-sound1.2, libsdl-sound1.2-dev [00:10] daSKreech: what? [00:10] ok [00:10] sMonk: ok now you should be chrooted [00:10] yup [00:11] sMonk: ls -ld /dev/vboxdrv [00:11] no such file or directory [00:11] /dev/vboxdrv won't be there unless the virtualbox driver is loaded [00:11] ah [00:12] stdin: do you have a clue what happened there? [00:12] lol, yeah, can you tell me nicely how I messed up [00:12] not really, but a bit of exploring seems to be in order [00:12] what's the permissions of /sbin/klogd ? [00:12] stdin: he has a separate home partition [00:13] (ls -l /sbin/klogd) [00:13] it's -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22948 2007-09-17 16:54 /sbin/klogd [00:13] stdin: it all probably began because his user is probably not a member of the group vboxsomethingortheother [00:14] sMonk: What are the permission of /tmp? [00:14] maybe probably [00:14] :) [00:14] prince_jammys: that doesn't explain "start-stop-daemon : unable to start /sbin/klogd: permission denied" [00:14] stdin: no it doesnt [00:15] hi [00:15] permissions of /tmp drwxrwxrwt [00:15] good [00:15] after using airsnort, my wifi card stopped working, it is not detected anymore :/ any idea how to fix this? [00:15] sMonk: keep pasting the owners on everything [00:15] permissions of / ? [00:15] sMonk: paste the whole line [00:15] hold on.. I'll give you a pastbin of the whole root [00:16] anyone? [00:16] Isn't airsnort to decrypt wireless network encryption? [00:16] how do you use insmod? [00:16] insmod card=2 [00:16] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57278/ [00:16] Throws out errors. [00:16] Manden: yes it is [00:18] Manden: I'm not using airsnort anymore, but my wifi card doesn't work anymore now, it doesn't even detect other wireless networks [00:18] It probably overwrites the old drivers. [00:19] Manden: I see, any idea what I could do to get it back? :) [00:19] prince_jammys: did you get the pastbin? [00:19] sMonk: the permissions there look alright [00:19] Eek, nearly got this working., [00:19] sMonk: yeah i'm looking at it [00:20] ok [00:20] crashed@crashed-pc:~$ sudo rmmod saa7134_alsa && sudo rmmod saa7134 && sudo modprobe saa7134 [00:20] ERROR: Module saa7134_alsa is in use [00:20] bobesponja: use your distrobutions package manager to reinstall wireless drivers [00:20] btw, thanks stdin, prince & Manden [00:20] It's in use, how to I unload that module? [00:20] sMonk: try "/etc/init.d/klogd start" see if it throws some error [00:21] stdin: I missed it is he chrooted? [00:21] yeah [00:21] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57279/ [00:22] Manden: I have "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG", do you know what's the driver for that? isn't it included in the kernel alreaedy? [00:22] right [00:23] crashed@crashed-pc:~$ sudo rmmod saa7134_alsa [00:23] ERROR: Module saa7134_alsa is in use [00:23] Anyone, how do I stop that module? [00:23] linux needs a "restore" setting for users like me [00:23] bobesponja: They're usually modules. What distrobution are you using? On SuSE a search for "wireless" in YaST finds the rigth driver. [00:24] Manden: I'm on kubuntu [00:24] permission denied, and you're root [00:25] prince_jammys: I don't think the issue is directly with klogd. Permissions must be messed up somewhere else and it waterfalling to klogd [00:25] sMonk: brb, pasta is overcooking [00:26] lol, np [00:26] bobesponja: You can try searching for "wireless" in whatever package manager Ubuntu uses. It might be easier to Google, proset ubuntu drivers [00:26] huh? wifi problems? [00:26] bobesponja: which card? [00:26] bobesponja: and whats the matter [00:26] coreymon77: : I have "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG" [00:26] sMonk: did they already look at the permissions on your home directory? [00:27] the matter is that network card doesn't work at all [00:27] bobesponja: let me guess, mac? [00:27] no, I'll paste them [00:27] coreymon77: intel inspiron 6400 [00:27] oh [00:27] dell [00:27] okay [00:28] coreymon77: it used to work great, but after using airsnort for a while, it just stopped working, nno idea if it's related [00:28] permissions of /home/dale is drwxrwxrwx [00:28] bobesponja: gutsy? [00:28] do you need the files in the home folder? [00:28] coreymon77: yes [00:29] sMonk: Did you run chmod 777 -R /home ? [00:29] bobesponja: what driver were you using before? [00:29] yeah [00:29] sMonk: If so, then I know the permission. As a note, that was not a good thing to do, but it doesn't break anything right now. [00:29] coreymon77: no idea, the one that comes with kubuntu, it was automatically detected like all intel wifi card [00:30] ok [00:31] <-- hangs head in shame [00:31] bobesponja: give this a try, apt-cache search iwlwifi [00:31] It's fixable [00:32] sMonk: My friend did a chown -R smonk / [00:32] bobesponja: that give you anything? [00:32] really really messed up his system [00:32] ouch [00:32] <-- suddenly not feeling so bad [00:32] coreymon77: nothing [00:32] Maybe you could delete the contents of the /tmp directory [00:33] nothing in it [00:33] ok, well that won't work then [00:33] lol [00:33] delete the nothing!! [00:34] On this post you sent to me, the guy did a chmod 755 / , and he said it fixed it. However, it seems like a bad idea, and your permissions were alright on / [00:34] hmm [00:34] coreymon77: there is libiw29 [00:34] !info iwlwifi [00:34] Package iwlwifi does not exist in gutsy [00:34] sMonk performs rm nothing in /tmp [00:34] !find iwlwifi [00:34] Package/file iwlwifi does not exist in gutsy [00:34] !info libiw28 [00:34] Package libiw28 does not exist in gutsy [00:34] not good [00:34] well [00:35] its not that bad [00:35] sMonk: hey [00:35] we just need to find out if the new driver exists on your system [00:35] I'm here [00:35] sMonk: you haven't been doing anything radical? :) [00:35] sMonk: just glanced at the screens and saw some -Rs and rms [00:36] no, nothing as of late [00:36] !info firmware-iwlwifi [00:36] Package firmware-iwlwifi does not exist in gutsy [00:37] the only thing I have been doing is google"ing" my mistake, and sifting through lots of german and italian pages... still the only page that looks promising is the first one I found [00:37] well, there is a new driver [00:37] im not sure if its part of the system [00:38] !find firmware-iwlwifi [00:38] Package/file firmware-iwlwifi does not exist in gutsy [00:39] Do iPods work well w/ k and amarok? [00:39] tekstacy: yes [00:39] sMonk: yeah googling is good here [00:40] bobesponja: i dont want to mess it up even more since im not sure if you have the driver preloaded, so heres the ubuntu wiki page ive been using as refference [00:40] no need for that stupid itunes? [00:40] this is still the only decent site I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629613&page=2 [00:40] on page 1 this person seems to have the same problem as me. [00:41] bobesponja: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy?highlight=%28WifiDocs%29%7C%28AND%29%7C%28ManufacturerModel%29 [00:41] k thanks [00:41] Yeah, but his sollution doesn't seem to work for you. [00:41] oh [00:41] wont I have to do a chmod 755 on my home dir? [00:41] considering I oopsed and did a 777 on it [00:42] You already did a 777 of it, which is more permissive than 755 [00:42] if 755 worked, then so should 777 [00:42] yeah.. but you said I'll have to get it "back" later [00:42] or is that something else? [00:43] Yeah, but you should change it back because now anyone can change stuff in your home folder [00:43] 777 on home folder shouldn't break things. [00:43] ah [00:44] hmm, try ll -d / [00:44] is the "amd64" compatible with intel pentium d processors? [00:44] or ls -ld / [00:44] i find it interesting that the ubuntu disk mentions intel 64 bits, but the kubuntu ones' just mention amd [00:45] matt__: The amd64 kernel? No [00:45] drw-rw-rw- 21 root root [00:45] that's not right [00:45] oh? [00:45] Manden: umm....the disk image for download... [00:45] YAY!! head room [00:45] anyone else who uses Kubuntu, can you ls -ld / ? [00:46] sMonk: umm You mean headway? [00:46] it should have an "x" at the end right? [00:46] matt__: I think that it's referring to the kernel. I don't think the amd64 kernel works with Intel [00:46] Manden: that's what i mean...hold on.. [00:46] ... no.. head room.. I had so much google junk in my head. .now I can loose some of it.. lol [00:46] it should be drwxr-xr-x 21 root root I think [00:46] lose* [00:46] Manden: look: [00:46] http://mirrors.jgi-psf.org/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/ [00:47] that's what I thought [00:47] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [00:47] sMonk: that guy in the link seems to have had the permissions of his mount points wrong [00:47] sMonk: One sec though. Don't want to go too fast. I use SuSE and Kubuntu is a bit differnt [00:47] Manden: see...for ubuntu...it mentions intel as well...but it doesn't for kubuntu...if you catch my drift... [00:47] ok [00:48] prince_jammys: Did you see the permissions of his / directory? I think they're wrong. [00:48] drw-rw-rw- 21 root root [00:48] drw-rw-rw- 21 root root 4096 2008-01-06 15:53 / [00:48] sMonk: that looks like the problem [00:48] sMonk: when you type mount what does it tell you? [00:48] sMonk: same as the problem described in the link [00:49] Manden: you know he's chrooted, right? [00:49] here you go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57280/ [00:49] prince_jammys: ah [00:50] Mandon: he chrooted into / from the live cd [00:50] prince_jammys: what do you mean? [00:50] matt__: I see what you mean. On the Ubuntu page it looks like the amd64 one will work. Kubuntu is based on Ubuntu, so it should work, but you might want to google it to be sure. [00:50] sMonk: in the web link you posted, the person ended up resolving the problem by changing the permissions of his partition mount points, both / and /home [00:51] yeah [00:51] and tmp [00:51] sMonk: now if i do ls -ld / i get: drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2008-01-05 15:10 / [00:51] sMonk: that's 755 [00:51] ok [00:51] sMonk: yours are 666 [00:51] :) [00:52] yeah..... hey.. just like I first said.. you think I typed it wrong when I tried to chage the permisions of the Virtualbox? [00:53] sMonk: maybe [00:53] cause I tried to chage the Vmbox to 666 to let me use it.. (rather than giving myself permission) [00:53] maybe I hit / instead [00:53] sMonk: now before you change this, what are the permissions of your /home [00:53] sMonk: excuse me, your /home/youruser [00:53] drwxrwxrwx 4 root root [00:54] yeah I got what you ment ;) [00:54] lol [00:54] sMonk: ok you don't need to sudo right now, right? you're root [00:54] yeah [00:55] sMonk: here's my home drwxr-xr-x 71 tantalus tantalus 4096 2008-02-24 18:12 /home/tantalus [00:55] sMonk: that's 755, you are 777 and wrong owner [00:55] that's 755 too [00:56] right [00:56] sMonk: 777 shouldn't matter (though it's not good) [00:56] right [00:56] it means come get me [00:56] :) [00:56] damn [00:57] Hi Folks, what is the command to reconfigure xorg (moved HD to a new machine), I thought it was "apt-cache reconfigure xorg" but apparently not. TIA [00:57] sMonk: ok chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser [00:57] ok, so could the / permissions be my problem? [00:57] K`zan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:57] sMonk: both [00:57] sMonk: the / definitely [00:57] so type this then chown dale:dale /home/dale [00:57] yes [00:57] prince_jammys: Thanks very much Sir! [00:58] can't access it.. [00:58] no file or dir [00:58] sMonk: right [00:58] sMonk: just realized [00:58] LiveCD [00:58] lol [00:59] sMonk: ok note that command because after you do your / you're going to type it in the terminal [00:59] ok, so do you think I should try to chmod the / ? [00:59] ok [00:59] I won't close this window [00:59] sMonk: otherwise, we fix your / but your user still won't be able to log in [00:59] ok [00:59] sMonk: no, the command will have to happen after you reboot [00:59] I won't do anything unless told [01:00] sMonk: chmod 755 / [01:00] now [01:00] ? [01:00] yeah [01:00] sMonk: and verify [01:01] ls -ld / [01:01] bingo! drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2008-01-06 15:53 / [01:01] good [01:01] would be nice if we could just mount your home from here [01:01] i think the command should be chown yourname.users It's a perions not a colon, and it's usually owned by users [01:01] period* [01:02] we're not changing the owner, just the permissions [01:02] the owner is fine [01:02] I think he means on the home dir no? [01:02] sMonk: on the home dir you do both [01:02] You're not changing the owners of the homedire? [01:02] yes, but it's not mounted [01:03] ah color or period works, but I think the group should be users [01:03] Hey all, I am trying to make something and am getting this error: http://pastebin.org/21094 [01:03] well, it's mounted under that /mnt/workhome [01:03] sMonk: right [01:03] sMonk: i just don't know how to un-chroot you [01:03] ok, so what's my next step? [01:03] sMonk: hold on [01:03] oh [01:04] sMonk: the next step is see if we can deal with your home right now without rebooting [01:04] ok [01:04] ctr+D should leave chroot [01:05] hi, is anybody able to help me with the installation of the flash player? iam in the right direktory, bit if i type in ./flashplayer-installer, i only see no such file or directory [01:05] should I try chown dale:dale /mnt/workhome [01:06] derdui, to which directory did you download it [01:07] prince_jammys: what about chown dale:dale /mnt/workhome [01:07] desktop^^ [01:07] sMonk: not until you un-chroot [01:07] ok [01:07] sMonk: try control D like Manden said [01:07] ok [01:07] boom [01:07] yup [01:08] now root@ubuntu:~# [01:08] derdui then type : cd desktop ,in the konsole [01:08] can you ls /mnt/workhome [01:08] i think you want to chown /mnt/workhome/username [01:08] yes [01:08] !flash | derdui [01:08] derdui: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:08] are you german blueskaj?

[01:10] dale.users [01:11] that's the chroot problem [01:11] There's no group dale [01:11] _installer:9_linux it doesnt work [01:11] -: [01:11] nor user, because he's on live cd [01:11] and not chrooted [01:11] ok.. so now try what Manden said... chown dale.users /mnt..... [01:11] help me [01:12] Manden what are the owner and group of your home dir [01:12] I'll wait [01:12] justin.users [01:12] ah [01:12] he should be able to set the UID directly [01:12] mine are both the same [01:12] 1000? [01:12] ah, Kubuntu thing maybe. [01:12] where can i get gcc ? [01:12] But he should be able to force it to change, or use the UID [01:13] derdui, first, cd /home/yourusername/desktop , then type, ./flashplayer-installer [01:13] !build-essential | quocdai [01:13] quocdai: Compiling software from source?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [01:21] prince_jammys: Is Kubuntu chown different? Can you set ownership using UID? [01:22] I'm not using Kubuntu [01:22] Manden: i've never done it [01:22] Manden: ubuntu? [01:22] sMonk started in a different channel and moved here. [01:22] No SuSE. I've thought about trying Kubuntu though. SuSE is getting to be unstable. [01:22] Manden: the kde desktop wouldn't matter [01:23] I know, that's where he asked the question though, and I was in it trying to help him. [01:23] well let me try it [01:23] i'll chown something [01:23] i'll do my homedir [01:23] joke [01:23] lol [01:23] derdui, I repeat , cd /home/derdui/desktop , then type, ./flashplayer-installer [01:23] i did touch test [01:23] hi all [01:23] sudo chown etc.. [01:23] worked [01:24] русские тут е? =) [01:24] strange [01:24] !ru [01:24] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:24] Someone told me today that you can't login as root on Kubuntu, is that true? [01:25] you CAN but not by default [01:25] it comes with no root passwd [01:25] Thank you guys!!!! [01:25] the preferred way is with sudo [01:25] I'm in my system [01:25] sMonk: success? [01:25] Manden, you can , but you shouldn't [01:25] *high 5* [01:25] there is also virtually NO reason that you would or should EVER need to. [01:25] You know what. I just checked back. He did ls on /mnt/workhome not /mnt/workhome/dale. It probabl worked [01:25] good [01:26] Manden: yeah that whole mounted home thing might have messed it up [01:26] sMonk: sweet. Now you should change the permissions on your /home/dale files [01:26] Manden Prince if you're ever in Ontario Canada, I owe ya a beer [01:26] ok, how do I do that [01:26] Manden: i don't think he did anything recursive [01:26] chmod 755 /home [01:26] he did ;( [01:27] ? [01:27] Someone suggested that he do chmod -R 755 /home/dale, which was bad in the first place. He did chmod 777 -R /home. [01:27] ls -ld /home [01:27] drwxrwxrwx 4 dale dale 4096 2007-12-01 19:32 /home [01:28] it doesnt work blueskaj [01:28] sudo chown 755 /home [01:28] chown? not chmod? [01:28] prince_jammys: it is chmod [01:28] chmod, sorry yeah [01:28] needs to chown root.root too [01:28] yes [01:29] drwxr-xr-x 4 dale dale 4096 2007-12-01 19:32 /home [01:29] sudo chown root:root /home [01:29] sMonk, where in ontario ? [01:29] Simcoe [01:29] prince_jammys: you just got me to change it to dale.dale tho [01:29] !flashissues | derdui [01:29] Suse is getting unstable !? and i wonder why [01:29] derdui: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [01:29] no, that should be your users home [01:30] sMonk: You should have changed /home/dale to dale:dale [01:30] Ahmuck: Because they add a bunch of unstable junk to it. [01:30] sMonk: your /home should be root:root and your /home/dale should be dale:dale [01:30] sMonk: which i bet it is, if you're logged in as dale [01:30] you mean since ms has got their hand in the pie [01:30] just west of sudbury here, sMonk [01:31] i think xfce is going to be my new DE for a while [01:31] drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-12-01 19:32 /home [01:31] i just... can't get used to kde again :( [01:31] Novell owns SuSE. MS supports Novell. MS has nothing to do with it's development. [01:31] sMonk: good [01:31] drwxrwxrwx 63 dale dale 4096 2008-02-24 20:24 /home/dale [01:31] sMonk: sudo chmod 755 /home/dale [01:31] drwxr-xr-x 63 dale dale 4096 2008-02-24 20:24 /home/dale [01:32] good [01:32] does ubuntu have any language learning software namely german? [01:32] sMonk: now ls -l ~ [01:32] so is there a /home/dale/gribble/aka/rusty/shackleford ? [01:32] BluesKaj: almost brothers.. lol [01:32] He did a -R do /home/dale. You can use find to recursively find directories and files and give them different permissions, but as long as /home/dale is 755 I think it should be ok. [01:32] ok i tried it with apt-get purge ..... what should i type to install the flashplayer nonfree? [01:32] sMonk: are all your user's files rwxrwxrwx ? [01:32] sorry, i'm tired, i'm walking away with my head hung in shame now [01:32] !flash|derdui [01:32] derdui: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:32] yes [01:32] parents lived in simcoe for a while , sMonk ...nice town [01:33] ?

[01:34] Directories need execute permission to be listed [01:34] adept gibin errorrs [01:34] oh right, because the group is restricted [01:34] thanks tekteen [01:34] giving errors [01:34] derdui: np [01:34] sMonk: you're logged in as dale, right?

What are you doing that tells you that ? [01:37] sMonk: cuz of sudo [01:37] ok [01:37] who owns those files?

[01:38] If it were me, I would just remove RealPlayer ;) [01:38] sMonk: can you view the contents of one of your dirs? [01:38] of course you can 777 [01:39] yeah realplayer ? who needs it anyway [01:39] ive turned javascript of.....

I think RealPlayer maybe install with root as owner. I don't have it installed so I don't know [01:41] prince_jammys» oh.. thats easy to fix [01:41] sMonk: looks good [01:41] whats the home dir, and what user does he want it to be owned by? [01:41] nosrednaekim: you're coming in at the tail end of the mess [01:42] it's done [01:42] ah ok:) [01:42] thanks tho nosred [01:42] Anyone have RealPlayer that can tell me the default permissions of /home/user/RealPlayer? [01:42] sMonk: ok now you want to be in the group vbox or whataver [01:42] playstation3: try "bash /opt/firefox/firefox-bin" instead [01:42] yes [01:42] please [01:42] well, lets skip that for right now.

[01:43] night all [01:43] if there is any problems with my permissions, is that why Firefox won't display flash stuff properly? It puts things behind it and doesn't play the flash all the time.. yet sometimes it does [01:43] actually wait [01:43] ERROR " /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: cannot execute binary file " [01:43] Manden: what if he has executable files? [01:43] yeah, that's why I said wait [01:43] Manden» chmod does have a recursive flag.... [01:44] nosrednaekim: yes, and it will mess up his directories [01:44] chmod +x [01:44] I already did it [01:44] do this find -type f -exec chmod o-w \{\} \; [01:44] you already set it to 600 ?

[02:07] set it to chmod 700 /home/lost+found [02:07] therealpxc» use apt-get so we can gett a better error message [02:07] so should it be sudo chmod -R 700 /home/lost [02:07] nosredaekim: of course [02:07] do use -R, there shouldn't be anything in it anyhow [02:07] therealpxc» what packages are these anyway? kde4?

[03:10] oh i guess so [03:10] didnt change for me either [03:10] still nothing [03:11] looks like spyd3r is about to get his first lesson on editing xorg.conf [03:11] ok [03:11] spyd3r: what is the current resolutio [03:11] im ready [03:11] but do it slow === pelle is now known as _Bart_ [03:11] lol [03:11] i will [03:11] but answer me [03:11] lol [03:11] spyd3r: is the resolution done?

I'm going to have to boot into windows to read an ext2 drive [03:13] ok i did it [03:13] but nothing happened [03:13] what do you mean nothing happened [03:13] you didnt get a text editor?

[03:14] no [03:14] and when it does [03:14] it usually just does the same thing [03:14] same thing as what [03:14] like itll just say spyd3r@spyd3r [03:14] with my cursor [03:14] maybe try just sudo kate blah blah [03:14] should i try to restart?? [03:14] no [03:15] spyd3r: what are you doing? === brad__ is now known as some_dude [03:15] trying to get it so this isnt hurting my eyes [03:15] how do you unignore someone [03:15] spyd3r: did sudo work [03:15] can someone answer me? its a yes or no... [03:15] you ignored me?

[03:16] just didnt know if it was accepting it or not [03:16] spyd3r: so no one can see how long your password is [03:16] spyd3r_ it does it blindly [03:16] oh that [03:16] nothing is open besides this and terminaal [03:17] prince_jammys: fwiw, man dpkg revealed I wanted dpkg -S [03:17] spyd3r: well then i dunno whats going on [03:17] ok let me retry [03:17] go to K menu > utilities > kate [03:17] im going to exit terminal [03:17] and try over [03:17] joe2370: yeah i have that open too, in one of my fifteen windows :) === liberveesco is now known as libervisco [03:17] prince_jammys: :-) [03:17] ok its open [03:17] does kubuntu support my Nvidia BFG 8800GT OC? anyone know?

[03:21] hold on phone [03:21] ok tell me when ur back [03:21] ubuntu why do you need envy, whats wrong with restricted drivers [03:21] pierrot: are you the pierrot that did promise raid hacking? [03:22] ok sorry about that [03:22] mrunagi: i have a 8800 gt and i cant find any linux distro that will support it... plus i have dual monitors [03:22] ok did you open a terminal? [03:22] yes its open [03:22] spyd3r: type sudo apt-get install irssi [03:22] ok hold on while i type it [03:23] ubuntu if ubuntu is going to support it then its going to, envy doesnt make or break support [03:23] !envy | ubuntu [03:23] ubuntu: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:23] ok? [03:23] it didnt do anything [03:23] is it installing? [03:23] what the heck did you do spyd3r [03:23] no [03:24] i just typed it in [03:24] my KDE 3 session wont load. but KDE4 will and Gnome will. any ideas? [03:24] hol don ill copy paste tp show ya [03:24] we are talking about the konsole here right? [03:24] !paste [03:24] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [03:24] spyd3r@SpYd3R:~$ sudo apt-get install irssi [03:24] [sudo] password for spyd3r: [03:24] spyd3r@SpYd3R:~$ [03:24] yea [03:24] well im stumped [03:24] shell console === joe2369 is now known as joe2370 [03:25] anyone know why no command run in the konsole does anything for spyd3r === joe2370 is now known as not|root [03:25] * not|root blinks [03:25] maybe permission settings? [03:25] i dont know [03:25] sudo gives you root priv [03:25] it would say permission denied [03:26] it just did as i copy pasted it [03:26] huh? [03:26] should i try reinstalling kubuntu again? [03:26] shouldnt need to [03:26] i cant imagine why itd do this [03:27] if it d/led itd show up in terminal right? [03:27] yea [03:27] how long will u be here mrunagi? [03:27] till i leave [03:28] im going to reinstall it [03:28] again............ [03:28] then come back [03:28] if you wish but if its like this on a fresh install it will be this way next time [03:28] will u be here in say 30 minutes? [03:28] looks like I've upgraded to 2.6.22-14. Has the local root bug been patched out of that one? [03:28] ive heard alot about this local root bug but havent experienced it [03:29] i thought it was only a problem on a public access computer [03:29] ill be right back mrunagi plz dont go anywhere [03:29] it is a problem anywhere you have an untrusted user [03:29] im the only one on my pc so i guess its not a problem for me [03:29] español [03:29] !es | cristian [03:29] cristian: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:30] But I can imagine it would be possible for a malicious website to exploit the bug, but I haven't heard anyone else saying this. [03:30] not|root: thats what im saying, my understanding is that it cant be exploited remotely [03:30] my KDE 3 session wont load. but KDE4 will and Gnome will. any ideas? [03:31] you can run kde 3 and 4 side by side? [03:31] yah [03:31] interesting [03:31] i might give that a try [03:31] >.> [03:31] I smell...newb [03:31] xD [03:31] where?! [03:31] just clutters your menus [03:31] mrunagi: what I mean is that if there is a bug in flash or acroread or firefox that lets arbitrary code run, then the first code they'll try is the local root exploit. [03:31] i run gnome, KDE 4 and KDE 3 together [03:31] what's a good hard disk diagnostic app that I can run on an external usb drive? [03:31] How can i solve this error ? ??? "" dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): """ [03:32] not|root: how can i see if i have this bug [03:32] Stoffer: for ntfs? [03:32] ext2 [03:32] mrunagi: you can try running the exploit code. [03:32] how would i do that not|root [03:33] mrunagi: it was linked to slashdot. though I'm sure a quick google search will turn it up. just compile and run as user. works like sudo -s === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_ [03:33] but with no password required === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__ === ubuntu__ is now known as spyd3r [03:34] mrunagi [03:34] whats up [03:34] before i reinstall what file format should i use? [03:34] ext3 [03:34] ok [03:34] Heh, go ReiserFS [03:34] be a man [03:35] hold on [03:35] ext3 is not a file format. It is a filesystem. [03:35] im installing now [03:35] im sure thats what he meant not|root [03:35] ok lemme install it again....... [03:35] if you wish spyd3r [03:36] i need this to work [03:36] lol [03:36] i know but you arent listening to me [03:36] this is a freshly installed kubuntu right? [03:36] Is there a compelling reason not to just run `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` in a cron job? [03:37] no i had been screwin with it for a few hours [03:37] so im going to give myself a fresh one [03:37] pl [03:37] ok [03:37] Not|Root: Not really. [03:37] be back in a few [03:38] I guess sometimes package updates have interactive portions. Maybe that's the reason. [03:38] Maybe I should use packages more often. [03:39] heh heh. `apt-get update && yes | apt-get upgrade` [03:39] Something about compiling makes me feel...manly. [03:39] XD [03:40] saki: tried gentoo? [03:40] if e2fsck returns "Resize inode not valid. Recreate?" what does that mean? [03:40] Stoffer: it means you have filesystem corruption and it is offering to fix it. [03:40] not|root: Actually thats what I run on my server. [03:41] not|root, how would that happen, and will I lose any data by allowing it? [03:42] Stoffer: if there was any data loss, it has already happened. e2fsck is pretty good about knowing what it is doing. If you want to do a dd backup of the filesystem before attempting to fix, now would be the time. But minor errors are normal like when a program closed abnormally with open files. [03:43] not|root, how would I do that backup, just in case? [03:43] not|root, I have this 80gb drive filled with stuff I don't want to lose [03:43] Stoffer: if it were a production server, you would restore from backups. but if it is a desktop, just apply the fix. [03:43] * mrunagi laughs at people that backup when there is a problem [03:43] muahahahahhahahaha [03:43] well i figured id get kicked out by now lol [03:43] * mrunagi sits back in his corner [03:43] but its 61% [03:43] 61% of what spyd3r [03:44] Stoffer: what command did you run to get this message? [03:44] installing system [03:44] lol compile kde4 from svn...4 hours [03:44] im on my live cd at the moment [03:44] not|root, e2fsck -v [03:44] not|root, /dev/sda1 [03:44] were u on the live cd the whole time? [03:44] USB 2.0 transfer rate is no more than 700 kB/s (low-mid 600s average). How do I find what's causing this lag? [03:44] when i logged out b4 [03:44] Miki: What proc? [03:44] yes ive been on it for about 5 minutes now [03:44] i never saw you log out [03:44] ? [03:45] i was on the actual os for a bit there [03:45] What processor are you running? [03:45] but i logged out to reinstall remember [03:45] Still no sound [03:45] 9009 [03:45] any ideas? [03:45] whe i came back [03:45] 1.8 amd [03:45] intel 9009 [03:45] Stoffer: an inode refers to a single file, IIRC. So at worst you will lose one file. But the resize is ominous IIF you recently resized the fs. [03:45] i was on live cd [03:45] :) [03:45] XD [03:45] I wonder how long it would take on mine >.> [03:45] not|root, ok i'll just let it go and see what happens [03:45] 2.66Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad [03:46] but i can tell that kde4 looks great ....works realy fast [03:46] xD [03:46] Sound [03:46] but you can help me get the compiz-fusion to work right? [03:46] Kubuntu- Intel HDA [03:46] Still feels...off to me.

[03:50] spyd3r: that may be a small part of the course, but graphics design is mainly 2d work [03:50] mrunagi: what can i put in gigabyte p-35 dq 6 ati 9200? [03:50] not what im gettin into [03:50] lol [03:50] mrunagi: Umm...no it isn't.

[03:54] the associate was 32 [03:54] so 16 a year [03:54] Ah [03:54] i took out way too much for living =( [03:55] Yeah, when I go back to college this Fall I should be paying 8k a year.

[04:05] how do i do that? [04:05] not|root, Deleted inode 7841 has zero dtime. Fix? [04:05] !automatix [04:05] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

[07:37] is anyone there who can help??? [07:38] is anything using the cpu ?crackhead100 [07:38] how can i check? i think there are a list of processes running.. i tried manually killing the x server from the remote login commandline, but it won't die.. [07:39] crackhead100, type top in the terminal - press k - then enter the pid for x [07:39] one sec [07:40] yeah it looks like xorg is using 95% of cpu [07:40] should i kill it? or can i pause it somehow? [07:41] ? [07:41] I'd kill it then type startx [07:42] is there any way to save the xsession, the windows open, so that i can have them restart upon the restart of startx? [07:42] from the commandline? - that I don't know... [07:43] it said kill with signal 15.. then i hit enter.. then it said kill failed.. operation not permitted... ??? [07:43] did i have to type yes when it said "kill with sig 15"? [07:43] try this - press q to stop top - then type sudo top and retry [07:45] it didn't give an error, but top still shows xorg running...??? [07:46] all I can suggest is a reboot [07:47] sudo shutdown -r now for the command [07:47] anyone else know how to stop/kill/restart X without rebooting the whole machine, if top, kill pid doesn't kill it? [07:48] ere4si: this keeps happening. everytime i use open office, and i use the mouse to click the topline menu dropdown, it freezes up the xorg, and i have to restart.. i tried searching for why this happens, but i can't find it. do you, or could you find out anything? is this common??

[08:29] Gavo: really easy to install/reinstall grub [08:29] mkquist: had no luck with the command prompt ones... entering my partition # caused all kinds of trouble before... messy drive [08:29] thanks though [08:29] cheers [08:30] Gavo: Did you read the --root-directory=DIR section of the manpage? [08:30] Gavo: make sure ur picking the right drive to install too then, thats the only thing thats messed me up [08:31] guys do you know a channel at freenode to discuss PVR DVR TV ? [08:31] how to disalbe the intalled kate-kde4, that kate for kde3 will run under kde3? [08:31] Gavo: make sure ur clear in ur head as to where u are installing it, ive had no probs on a dual (triple) boot system once i thought it through. Usually I was the problem. G/L though [08:31] cntb: try searcing in google.. [08:33] noaXess OK [08:33] yeppers your spot on me too... problem was I had an extended partition in the middle with unallocated space in 3 different places and somehow partition manager in windows put a partition on it [08:38] hey guys...i have a serious issue with kded after upgrading to kde 3.5.9....When i plug an usb drive, it is mounted automatically, but no icon is showed on desktop and kded starts eating up to 90% of the processor...also kmail halts (or at least the icon the systray dissapears...) [08:39] i tried to find my way through google...But it didnt help......any ideas??? its really bothering me since I have to reboot ... [08:43] hi all.. i had installed baghira to make kde look like mac os but now i just want to go back to th earlier setup... how can i do that without having to reinstall kubuntu? pls help === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:49] ah there must be some way to go back to the default k settings [08:51] walmik: If nothing else helps, you can move away your ~/.kde [08:51] still no news about kde4 hardy iso? how come? [08:52] (if kubuntu hardy will indeed come with kde4 cd also then it's about time to release it for testing) [08:52] kristjan_: #kubuntu-dev might know better [08:52] Lynoure: i m sorry but i did not understand it [08:52] Lynoure: that's wrong channel [08:53] #kubuntu-devel is right one [08:53] kristjan_: oh, anyway, meant the Kubuntu devel channel... or even #ubuntu+1 [08:53] is there no >kde-3.5.7 for feisty? [08:54] walmik: If there is no Restore to default button for the appereance settings, and you don't have lots of custom kde settings, you can restore full default settings by mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old and logging out and back in [08:55] walmik: it moves all your kde settings to a backup location, new default settings get created automatically. Later if you wish you can pick and choose between the old custom and new default ones [08:56] walmik: But settings your own unique appereance settings can be whole fun too. I recommend playing with them first :) [08:57] Lynoure: I d love to but these settings havent turned out the way i thought they would... [08:57] Lynoure: Maybe i ve goofed upsomewhere [08:58] Lynoure: I wanted it to look like Mac OS and it does to a large extent but there are lot of glitches [08:58] walmik: I think it's just that the system is not really an OS X... much more satisfying at least for me was to make it look like OS Lynoure ;) [08:59] Lynoure: yea.. that makes more sense [08:59] Took a leasurely weekend day of tweaking. [08:59] Lynoure: so u suggest i do mv ~/.kde thingy [09:00] does any body speak Chinese [09:00] !cn | cheney [09:00] cheney: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:00] Lynoure: i had installed compiz and it was fine till then.. but then when i installed baghira.. things started to turn sour [09:00] walmik: only if you are ok with restoring all of Kde default settings. I think I recommend that only as a second choice, if you cannot tweak a look you are as ok with as you were with the default [09:01] walmik: oh, I'm not a compiz expert, so far have happily avoided it. [09:02] Lynoure: ok... i ll take ur advice,, i ll tweak for some more time and then if its still not smooth, then i guess i ll mv [09:02] Lynoure: thanks [09:02] maybe this is wrong channel... I'm looking for newer KDE packages for feisty [09:03] kolla: sounds like about as right channel as there is. How new? [09:03] kolla: One way is to upgrade to gutsy, that has about as new as one can get (even kde4) [09:03] well, 3.5.9 would be great :) [09:04] Lynoure: yes, I was hoping to avoid that [09:04] cheney ? [09:04] yes [09:06] kolla: I have not searched for other alternatives yet... [09:06] you from PRC? [09:06] what problem [09:06] yes [09:06] good [09:06] cheney, beijing [09:06] PM maybe ? [09:06] how about you? [09:06] Lynoure: ok, thanks [09:06] PM [09:06] I just switch to kubuntu [09:06] kolla: I'm pretty sure there is no official 3.5.9 for Feisty. And did not find unofficial packages for that either. [09:06] me neither [09:07] good cheney [09:07] but , i meet some problems [09:07] ok, I'll see if I can be bothered enough to upgrade, or just wait for 8.04 [09:07] kolla: Why the gutsy-avoidance? (my occasional feisty-nostalgia is because of not having hibernation in gutsy on this laptop) [09:08] I install kubuntu in my laptop [09:08] Lynoure: lazyness... not my job etc :) [09:08] cheney what laptop? [09:08] kolla: if you'll eventually want 8.04, you'll probably be safer to go through 7.10 anyway. I think skipping a release is not officially supported for non-LTS releases [09:08] haier [09:08] not popular [09:08] Haier [09:09] not the H/W issue [09:09] some problem about the input method of chinese [09:09] yes they have portable dvd players [09:09] Lynoure: true.. ok, guess I can just as well do it [09:09] Lynoure: eagerly awaiting 8.04 in order to have long standing ldap/ssl annoyances fixed [09:09] cheney what did you try? [09:10] 2nd market share between chine PC manufactor [09:10] Hello. When I copy and paste something from Konqueror into an OpenOffice document all UTF-8 chars are interpreted as ISO.

[09:10] I still dont grasp why linking against ancient libldap 2.1 was such a clever idea [09:10] I configure the skim, but I donot restart KDE and OS [09:11] do MS windows pinyin methods work the same in ubuntu cheney, Iam asking myself [09:11] I used ubuntu before. But I want to try KDE4, so I switch to kubuntu. [09:12] was ubuntu OK for input method of chinese ? [09:12] Yes. I used scim under gnome, and can input chinese using PINYIN [09:12] the ubuntu has no problem, everything is OK. [09:13] and skim is the parallel similar in konqueror [09:13] sorry KDE cheney [09:13] yes, it may be a configuration problem. [09:13] 3 years ago, I used KDE under SUSE 8.0 [09:14] NOT 3 years, it is 6 years ago.

On the same machine? [09:27] Z3U5: Wouldn't that put you past the stage where you are using the kubuntu installer to install kubuntu? [09:27] Lynoure: yep, i even ran check install disc which is on the install menu results were fine, im right now takling to you on the live dvd, yes, it has put me past that stage [09:29] Lynoure: this stage happenes right after spanning for mirror [09:34] Z3U5: It seems some people have managed past it by brutally restarting the computer, and then installing some needed driver after the reboot. What display card you have? [09:34] Lynoure: nvidia geforce 6200 [09:35] Z3U5: hmm. not sure. If you are daring you could try removing the install cd, and rebooting from the stuckness. [09:37] Lynoure: do i install needed drivers from adept manager, i tried to do that yesterday, all it showed was error in booting [09:38] Z3U5: or you could try the alternate install cd [09:38] Lynoure: i am not aware of this [09:38] Lynoure: do i need to dload this [09:40] Z3U5: It could help, yes. [09:41] Lynoure: is there a way for kubuntu to check install and dload whatever is not [09:41] Z3U5: It's downloadable through the normal kubuntu download page, but the installing experience is a bit different [09:42] Z3U5: that depends on what error you get... You'll need it to get to at least a command line to do anything. [09:44] Lynoure: "checking for programs to remove" thats where it gets stuck no error and it is still stuck there right now [09:45] Z3U5: I got that. But you said you tried booting without cd from that, and got an error in the boot. Which error? [09:46] Lynoure: lemme restart and try ill come and let you know [10:00] hey guys...kubuntu-desktop is making the kded to eat the processor up each time a usb device is plugged.....

If I was physically there, I'd boot with a rescue cd to see if I can boot Linux at all from the harddisk, but I think the alternate install cd might be the best bet nevertheless [10:13] Lynoure: can you give the url to download this [10:14] Z3U5: where are you located? (So that I can give you the one to the closest mirror) [10:15] Lynoure: india [10:18] Z3U5: it was an amd64, right? This might be from the closest mirror: http://ubuntu.indika.net.id/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/kubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64.iso [10:18] hey guys...if a remove --purge kubuntu-desktop...And then reinstall it....will i recover all my kde settings, kontact files, etc....? [10:18] in order words...is it safe? [10:18] harmental: it wond do anything [10:18] wont [10:19] harmental: kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage [10:19] jussi01: sorry..i forgot to tell that ill do remove --purge kubuntu-desktop and autoremove afterwards.... [10:19] harmental: there is a chance it can break things === icewater1an is now known as icewaterman [10:21] jussi01: mmm....ok...so lets try another thing....i've upgraded to kde 3.5.9 last week...and i've been experiencing serious problems since: each time i plug an USB drive kded goes to roof (90% and counting) there is no icon on the desktop and i have to use dolphin for the drive to be automounted...also it hungs up kontact.... [10:22] i've tried purging kdm and kubuntu-desktop...the installing only kdm and things seem to work fine....the moment i install kubuntu-desktop the problem comes back.... [10:22] ouch [10:22] jussi01: i really dont know what to do...and google hasnt been of any help..... [10:23] there has been similar reports but no solution whatsoever.... [10:23] harmental: apart from a regress to 3.5.8 ... [10:23] what i dont get is why kubuntu-desktop is responsible for that kind of behavior.... [10:24] jussi01: i think ill do that and pray... [10:24] how can i roll back smoothly? [10:24] harmental: you dont need the meta package, so dont install it :) [10:24] Lynoure: thanks later [10:25] also (and this is a minor problem) the login screen is not the one i've set in the kdm manager...its not even the kubuntu login....i think is the default kde login... [10:25] harmental: where did you get the 3.5.9 packages? [10:26] Hello. Will KDE 3.5.x still be availbale in Kubuntu 8.04?

Or something specific? I can make find find most things, but I bet there are some I'd have trouble with. Could help you better if you told a bit more on what you want to find... [10:40] i just want it to find my files on my usb-pen etc [10:46] philipp_: all the files on the usb-pen? [10:46] philipp_: or files by certain name, or some other criteria on the usb-pen? [10:47] maybee music files, whatever, just as the usual windows-search-funktion [10:47] of course filtering by name ^^ [10:48] philipp_: http://www.linux.com/articles/55377 is an excellent intro to using find === ubuntu is now known as kidanger [10:51] philipp_: e.g. find /media/usb-pen -name "*.ogg" would find all your ogg music files under /media/usb-pen [10:56] jussi01: im done! how can i roll back smoothly to kde 3.5.9? [10:56] ah, i finally succeeded, thanks! [10:57] harmental: you mean to 3.5.8 ?

[22:03] storbeck: I'm trying to avoid having to do this manually (non-gui) because my neighbor is NOT going to be okay having to do that. [22:03] You're setting this up for your neighbor? [22:03] storbeck: Last time I started the system it just listed the three networks in range, I picked one, it asked for the key and I was good to go. [22:03] Yes. [22:03] It's his laptop. [22:05] You tried going to knetwork-manager? [22:05] storbeck: Right... but even manually entering my ESSID and key don't work. [22:06] Hm, is there a wireless switch on the laptop? [22:06] There's been a few times where I accidently switched it off. [22:07] lol yes, there is... one sec [22:08] Hmm... now it's showing me connected at 86% but I can't ping google.com. There is no connection. [22:09] Is it encrypted? [22:09] storbeck: Well, it hasn't asked me for the passphrase yet. [22:09] any way to undo changes made with e2fsck while it's still running? [22:09] Is there a way to completely reset it all? [22:10] I suppose you could uninstall the drivers, uninstall eth1. Then reinstall [22:11] I'd suggest you set it to ath0 or wifi0 ;) [22:11] storbeck: It actually is connected to my network, but I don't want my neighbor to be able to do that without having my passphrase... [22:11] storbeck: Could it have somehow been stored in Ubuntu? [22:12] storbeck: And I guess my last question would be, how do I set it up so that it automatically connects to HIS wireless network every time he logs in? [22:12] how do you install flash? [22:12] System -> Administration -> Keyring Manager [22:13] loggins: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:13] Creationist: When he first chooses the wireless network, that will be his default. [22:13] storbeck: But does that mean the MY network is now HIS default? ;) [22:14] cool. thx [22:14] Eh, at first. But he will change it [22:15] ok... and he won't be able to go back to mine without knowing the password, correct? [22:15] anyone know how to manually undo a few e2fsck changes (I recorded the original values)? [22:15] As long as you didn't save it, and he doesn't know how to crack, yes. [22:16] hmm... I don't remember intentionally saving it... don't remember seeing that option. But okay. Thanks for your help. [22:16] np === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [22:18] hi [22:18] anyone there for hel? [22:18] p [22:18] ? [22:19] ubuntu, we're here [22:19] ok [22:19] i want to ask something [22:19] ubuntu, shoot [22:19] i installed kubuntu now [22:19] and [22:19] have problems === rovyer_ is now known as rovyer [22:20] when open ubuntu and waiting for login === mkquist is now known as mkquist__ [22:20] the screen looks like broken tv :S === ubuntu_ is now known as Exilant === ubuntu is now known as Prodin [22:21] nick? [22:21] Prodin, so you're having graphical problems (distorted display)? [22:22] Hi, I just encrypted my usb drive (cryptsetup), works so far fine with mount, however i cant mount it from konquis media:/ [22:23] YES [22:23] there i get shown it as encrzpted device, clicking produces an errorbox: Could not mount device. The reported error was: The drive is encrypted. [22:23] i see login screen like a tv have problems with anntene [22:23] anzone knows how to mazbe solve this? [22:23] happens in gutsy and in hardy === ubuntu is now known as Absurdi [22:24] nick? === Absurdi is now known as Absurdo [22:24] Prodin, do you know which graphics card you have? [22:24] i have a onboard card === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [22:24] on biostar u8668 d [22:25] 16mb [22:25] anyone know how to manually undo a few e2fsck changes (I recorded the original values)? [22:25] i heard kubuntu7.10 have problems about graphic? [22:26] Prodin, have you ever had a non-distorted display? [22:26] nope [22:26] when i try log in after install [22:26] first time [22:27] i see a screen distorted [22:27] any many copy [22:27] like a analog tv [22:27] Prodin, it sounds like you need to reconfigure your display server. Have you ever used the command line before? [22:28] i know only basic server commannds about linux [22:28] like ls or cd wget [22:28] Wow [22:28] what will i write? [22:28] What has happened to linux.... people doesn't even know how to use a command line. [22:29] don't* [22:29] i use linux at my desktop firstly [22:29] sorry :S [22:29] does e2fsck commit changes dynamically or at the end? if you committed changes accidently made to a raw disk image, will that image be suspect/unreliable/unstable or do the changes not affect the raw data? [22:29] Prodin, when you get to that distorted screen, press Control + Alt + F1. That should bring you to a tty. Login and such. Then, issue this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg === andrew_ is now known as Shadon [22:30] Prodin, follow the instructions (the default values are fine for the most part) but when you choose your display driver, choose vesa. [22:30] vesa [22:30] ok [22:30] this is my display servr? [22:31] Prodin, you can actually use which you think will work (be it 'nv' for nvidia, 'ati' for ati, etc). Vesa usually works everywhere [22:31] thanks nick i will come after try this:=) [22:31] i am on live cd of ubuntu now [22:31] ok thanks [22:31] Prodin, wait [22:32] ok [22:32] open up a Konsole on the livecd and type in: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:32] Prodin, see which driver you're currently using (there should be things like 'kbd', 'mouse', 'etc). Type them out here (the values of the Driver line) [22:33] driver: kbd [22:34] driver: mouse [22:34] driver:savage [22:34] Prodin, so the 'savage' driver on the LiveCD work for you (obviously). I would select that driver when you reconfigure your display server. It should work. [22:34] thanks nick :) [22:35] byby === krwk is now known as krawek [22:35] bye [22:36] i want to know the differ between sun jdk & icedtea which of thm is better and faster [22:36] i have a macbook pro and i followed the instructions on the wiki ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro ) and after i added the startup command for the touchpad,i get a black screen from ubuntu.nothing will load and i can't go into terminal either. === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist_ [22:38] Anas, as far as I understand it, IcedTea is trying to make OpeenJDK (the free software Sun released recently) usable without relying on non-free components. As for which is better, I would assume the official sun jdk functions better, but I don't have any personal experience with icedtea [22:39] evilbug, Welcome to a macbook. [22:40] storbeck- thanks. [22:41] nice ok i want to know is there repos for eclipse? i installed it from synaptic but its old version not the last version and it didnt updated by synaptic update === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [22:43] No, Eclipse has it's own update system. [22:43] It should be somewhere in the help menu. [22:43] i have to update it from eclipse options?? [22:44] Yes. [22:44] ok i get it thanks [22:44] how do I avoid magnetic border screen in kde ? (no compiz) [22:44] Magnetic border screen? [22:45] it won't let me move the window above the top screen limit [22:45] System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Moving [22:45] Is probably what you want === ubuntu is now known as Absurdo [22:47] zes, set border snap yone to none [22:48] it's set to none but it won't let me move the window above top screen limit either === HydrogonalPrism is now known as msirPlanogordyH [22:49] anyone able to help me troubleshoot why my ntfs drives arent on my desktop anymore [22:50] or rather they arent when i first load ubuntu [22:52] mrunagi: zou can choose which devices to show [22:52] i never understand the default choices there, too [22:53] omg.......... [22:53] Is there any possible chance to resize partiions even if they are mounted at the same time? :D [22:53] kubuntu just dropped a bunch of data [22:53] i drag and dropped data from one folder to the other and said move......... [22:53] but it disappeared! [22:54] hmm [22:54] omg this is not funny [22:54] where is it [22:54] did you drop it into /dev/null [22:54] ? [22:54] i dont have a dev null [22:54] im gonna hyperventilate here in a second [22:54] cool. [22:54] not cool [22:54] how do i undo [22:55] where is that data??? [22:55] whoever is running root and then logged into irc should probably remove themselves from root.:P [22:55] * eddieftw points to the userlist [22:55] did i just lose all that date? [22:56] mrunagi, open konsole and type sudo updatedb && locate "filename" [22:56] mazbe better use find or kfind [22:57] updatedb will eventuallz overwrite data [22:57] * msirPlanogordyH points out that people wayy overexagerate the danger of ircing as root [22:57] find: Rigs: No such file or directory [22:58] sonofa!

[22:58] im not able to configure my webcam [22:58] top [22:58] or ps aux [22:59] how do i remove a installed program and all of its dependencies? [22:59] sudo apt-get remove program [22:59] openoffice doesn't have any Icons on the toolbars, it's all text, is there some extra package I need to install? [22:59] abortd: rephrase that [22:59] i dont feel there is a way to rephrase it [22:59] zou don|t want to remove all its dependencies [23:00] hmm [23:00] i do when it is leaving conf files scattered [23:00] git-svn: Depends: git-core (< 1:1.5.2.5-.) but 1:1.5.3~rc7-1 is to be installed [23:00] that doesn't look right.. [23:00] considdering that I had git-svn installed until just recently [23:00] when ubuntu decided that I wanted to uninstall a bunch of packages without asking me [23:01] abortd, zou can relz on logs of sznaptic and/or aptitude, or mazbe use deborpan [23:01] deborphan [23:01] uhh [23:01] I take it your 'y' doesn't work, Exilant? [23:01] english please? [23:01] hey [23:02] Being a debian user myself, but not too keen on doing all the configuration, I was thinking of putting the latest kubuntu on my friend's laptop. I have two questions though [23:02] lol [23:02] chairmeleon: Ask away [23:03] hi nick? [23:03] Is there any significant performance difference between debian /w KDE and Kubuntu, if anyone knows? And, perhaps most importantly, will there be a clean upgrade path from Gutsy to Hardy? [23:03] how do i see all the processes in the terminal? [23:03] storbeck: in fact it works... just using the hardy so y and z are swapped [23:04] Ah [23:04] Im running photoshop in wine and it has frozen how do i close it? [23:04] chairmeleon: I'm not sure between Debian/KDE and Kubuntu. I've never used Debian. As for a clean upgrade, there should be. [23:05] im not able to configure my webcam [23:05] miladen> use top or ps aux. then close with kill or killall [23:05] Haha hola, still trying to get it to work? [23:05] how do i use top or ps aux? just write it in? [23:05] zes [23:06] storbeck: i dont what to do ....im tried all [23:06] top lists those processes demanding most cpu time on top [23:06] hola> what cam? [23:06] nick [23:06] storbeck: I mean, there shouldn [23:06] Nick Presta? [23:06] Haha shouldn't* [23:06] My mistake. [23:07] *there shouldn't be a major difference since (K)ubuntu is built on debian [23:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333416 [23:07] this is like my problem [23:07] Right Ubuntu is built from Debian. [23:07] i have the same card [23:07] But there's some differences. [23:07] NickPresta [23:07] what do you guys reckon is the best? building a debian system or tearing a Kubuntu one down ? :D [23:07] Exilant: 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. [23:07] anyone there for help m eabout graphics card? [23:08] chairmeleon: It all depends on what the person wants. [23:08] Hey, is "preload" a good thing to use on a laptop? http://www.techthrob.com/tech/preload.php [23:08] hey? [23:08] From what I've heard of Debian, it requires more configuring than (K)ubuntu [23:08] s/Hey/All/ [23:08] Is it possible to send a signal to badblocks (like SIGUSR1) to find out how far it is? [23:08] storbeck: well he, the intended end user, wants a windows-environment equivalent [23:09] and I figured Ubuntu might be very well suited for that, I haven't ran it since 5.10 [23:09] I'd go for Kubuntu then. Or rather Ubuntu [23:09] Why rather Ubuntu? [23:09] NickPresta [23:09] I just installed Kubuntu and am having trouble with wifi where may I go to get help? Its a bcm4311 I have had it working in the past. [23:09] Personally, I think Gnome is more closely related to Windows. Although many will disagree. [23:09] MrJoey: doesn|t it tell zou that anywaz? [23:09] I have some things i can't quite come to terms with in gnome [23:09] As opposed to KDE of course. [23:09] No [23:10] It's just blank [23:10] and apart from that, it can take a long time. [23:10] ibkanat: sudo restricted-manager-kde [23:10] just recentlz waited 7 hours or so [23:10] storbeck: the inability to change the desktop icon text color via gui..that drives me nuts [23:10] otherwise I really like gnome, I prefer GTK looks to QT [23:10] Exilant: do you know what can i do? === sven_oostenbrink is now known as phoenixz [23:11] hmm restricted-manager-kde: command not found [23:11] Ah, well I use Fluxbox anyway. :D [23:11] ibkanat: drop the "-kde" and try [23:11] storbeck: oh wow, too manly for me :D [23:11] Haha [23:11] Since you are a fluxbox user, I have a hard time imagining *buntu was your first distro? Am I right? [23:12] <^jason> hi can anyone help me? [23:12] !help > ^jason [23:12] hola, sorrz, i am vaguelz familiar with the uvc/drivers, not with that camera [23:12] You're right. [23:12] <^jason> ive got kubuntu but cant get on the internet with it [23:12] hey someone type my name [23:12] hmm same..... in the hardware drivers manager I turned it on [23:12] npurciful, [23:12] Crud, I sent SIGUSR1 to badblocks and lost the terminal program, but badblocks is still running. How do I find out what it is putting out? [23:13] ibkanat: doesn't it ask you to fetch the firmware? [23:13] I've been using Linux for years. Went from RedHat to Slackware to Gentoo to Ubuntu [23:13] storbeck: so, what did you start out with, or at least use prior to Ubuntu? [23:13] heh, another Gentoo -> Ubuntu person :D [23:13] it did fetch.... and the wlan0 shows in the kdenetwork manager [23:13] but the the wireless light wont come on [23:13] <^jason> can anyone share any light on this? [23:14] storbeck: oh, that's a funny upgrade path [23:14] Heh, yeah [23:14] I've always been a very no-frills kinda guy, from the first moment I settled in Linux, rather..freaked out by preconfiguration [23:14] so what made you choose Ubuntu rather than the pretty unconfigured Gentoo? [23:15] <^jason> anyone? [23:15] Eh, I like trying them all out. [23:15] ^jason: run 'sudo kcmshell kcm_knetworkconfmodule" [23:15] is there a guide to setting up my own apt repository? [23:16] storbeck: Alright..well..haven't Ubuntu felt sluggish compared to other distros? [23:16] sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [23:16] I kinda got that impression when trying it over at a friend === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [23:16] <^jason> nareshov: what does that do? [23:16] chairmeleon: Not really. I use fluxbox though [23:16] It's rather minimal. [23:16] errr [23:16] Fluxbuntu* [23:16] ^jason: opens up the network configuration dialogue [23:16] Is there a way to get the stdout/stderr of a running program when the terminal has been lost? [23:17] storbeck: well I suppose I'll give dear old *buntu a run for it's money :D [23:17] (the program is still running) [23:17] (K)buntu is pretty plug-n-play [23:17] nareshov is open the network interfaces but when I click on wlan0 enable it goes on then off real fast [23:18] If it doesn't work out of the box, there's probably a GUI to set it up. Heh [23:18] storbeck: yeah, I sometimes miss that...I feel a bit schizophrenic [23:18] NickPresta [23:18] nareshov; wont enable [23:19] I'm thrilled both by minutious control over everything, and lazy plug-and-play [23:19] anyone can help me about graphic problems [23:19] ibkanat: when did you feed the firmware? [23:19] before the last reboot [23:19] hmm [23:19] i must use xp i think... [23:20] bcause [23:20] this is a piece of work.. AMD turion x2 [23:20] I remember doing the same on my friends laptop and it worked peacefully >_> [23:20] PRODIM: what happened? [23:20] they just fixed some of the bugs in the 2.6.24 [23:20] hey [23:20] thanks [23:20] ibkanat: you're using hardy? [23:20] i have problems about kubuntu [23:20] yeah [23:20] I installed it [23:20] and than when reboot and see firstly login screen [23:21] I tried the ndiswrapper earlier but messed things up pretty good [23:21] a distorted windows [23:21] than ask at here [23:21] ibkanat: not sure about hardy + bcm thing, might have to google a bit or better yet, post on the forums/mailing-lists [23:21] nickpresta says reconfigure your graphics server [23:21] i tried savage [23:21] than tried vesa [23:21] ibkanat: hardy support in #ubuntu+1 [23:22] ok thanks for your help.... is there anything I could grep to find out if its installed right? [23:22] when use savage every thing is same [23:22] and try vesa i see only a black screen [23:22] and can you help me nareshow [23:22] and can you help me nareshov [23:22] i dont understand strigi search [23:22] PRODIM: what does 'lspci | grep -i graph" say?
