If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:01] Slart: That was it. Wow. o O Thank you. [00:01] stormze1: wow.. I've learned something as well.. I've never put a space there in my files.. guess I've been lucky so far =) [00:01] !helpersnack | Slart [00:01] Slart: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!

It causes problems for me on my laptop, the work around is to disable it, but I don't want to have to kill it everytime I start the machine again [00:02] Hope Hardy is solid enough... === dermoth is now known as dermoth_ [00:02] Slart, I just ran that script and I got some strange stuff. I'll paste it in pastebin uf ur wiling to check them out [00:02] claudio75 - you learn fast :) [00:03] danand: ciao [00:03] Chewy: try starting it from a terminal.. that way you'll see the errors [00:03] Chewy, open a terminal and give "firefox" to run it from there [00:03] mad_max02: sure.. seems I'm on a roll =) [00:03] Chewy, open a terminal and type firefox then pastebin the error messages (if any) [00:03] * bod_ curses at Slart for beating him to the response [00:03] ok [00:03] ill come back here if i get any [00:03] :) [00:03] im currently on other pc [00:03] finally my gold plated keyboard is paying off... carpal tunnel syndrome.. here I come =) [00:04] Chewy, Did you install flash? and how did you install it? [00:04] Slart: Now that I've read the wiki, I might change my scripts to work differently. (They were kind of slow...) Thanks alot! [00:04] is it possible to see the contents of a locked folder on an OSX hard drive? [00:04] I installed it from the flash website linux version [00:04] Jack_Sparrow, flash wouldnt stop firefox from loading,.,.would it? [00:04] what is a good pice of software i can apt-get that alowes me to do a video capture of my desktop [00:04] stormze1: you're welcome [00:04] Jack_Sparrow, does sygate have a linux firewall [00:04] hi [00:04] Chewy, get it from epo's,.,.more reliable [00:04] repo's* [00:04] What do I need to do to get vlc working with firefox-3.03b? === RB2_ is now known as RB2 [00:04] bod_, There are some poorly written plugins that would.. or corrupt flash [00:05] the problem is, now i cant even access internet, and it worked fine until i updated ubuntu [00:05] Jack_Sparrow, oh, ok,.,.i thought if they were that bad, they wouldnt be released [00:05] how do I open port 8080 on ubuntu server 7.1 [00:05] i have a bcm4318 chipset. It seems to have been disabled somehow, and I screwed around and used different solutions to try to get it to work. The light comes on, and it lists "wlan0_rename" in the network selector applet, but it never works. can someone help me out, please? I'd appreciate it! :D [00:05] fentontravers: it's usually open.. you have to have something listening on the other side though [00:05] fentontravers, are you working on apache [00:06] I've got oracle xe running a webserver on that port...I know it's running cause I can telnet to locally, but I need to access from outside [00:06] so I know the port must be closed off. [00:06] so could it be an update issue? [00:06] bod_, I have seen a few pwople with problems directly related to bad plugins.. not sure where they got them.. that is a whole nother matter. Chewy.. have you installed any other plugins.. and have you ever used automatix or envy scripts [00:06] fentontravers: you might have to tell it specifically to listen on the external network interface.. you have to do that with ssh and apache for example [00:06] Chewy, unlikely,.its your the first case ive seen of this recently,.,. [00:07] del=its ^^ [00:07] slart_how do I do that? [00:07] no other plugins, and niether of those, i am a Ubuntu/linux first timer, so i dont know what im doing, ive been getting help from someoen though [00:07] hmm, I have managed to figure out my x server is NOT working (I havent even touched the configueration) (chrooting through live cd and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with ALL default option didnt to the trick) === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [00:07] hi, stupid question, how do I move the panel back from the side to the top? [00:07] fentontravers: I have no idea.. I've never used oracle [00:07] i have a bcm4318 chipset. It seems to have been disabled somehow, and I screwed around and used different solutions to try to get it to work. The light comes on, and it lists "wlan0_rename" in the network selector applet, but it never works. can someone help me out, please? I'd appreciate it! :D [00:07] drew_: tried dragging it? [00:07] Chewy, in terminal type sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox [00:07] !broadcom [00:07] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [00:07] * danand just spent 10 mins googling ciao to find out what it stood for ... [00:08] Slap_Sti1k, there is no where to click [00:08] oops [00:08] will that reinstall firefox? [00:08] Slart, here it is http://www.pastebin.org/21769 [00:08] Chewy, correct [00:08] No, it was working. Then it got disabled. Now it doesn't anymore. [00:08] Slart, , there is no where to click [00:08] ok [00:08] bod_, I would pull out flash and use the repo version too.. [00:08] * danand - not an acronym ... just italian for bye :) [00:08] Slart, it is all taken up with stuff [00:08] drew_: just click anywhere on the panel.. or you caN't see it? [00:08] and i tried another browser too, but it would load google, and the home page but had trouble otherwise [00:08] Chewy, also uninstall the flash thing you got, then install the correct one from synaptic [00:08] drew_: oh come on.. you can find one little spot to click on.. or you'll have to remove something [00:09] how do i uninstall [00:09] Chewy, sounding more and more like flash [00:09] hmm === jms1989__ is now known as jms1989 [00:09] mad_max02: doesn't it offer to do that for you? [00:09] Slart, I really have to remove something? that strikes me as a bug [00:09] Jack_Sparrow, i was gonna suggest it but i thought maybe see if its a bad install first,.,.but if othe browser has probs then flash may be the prob,.,.;~) [00:09] bod_, You may also find something odd in his sources list... [00:09] drew_, just because its broken doesnt mean its a bug [00:10] drew_: there might be some secret shortcut key voodoo combo.. but I don't know one... dragging is the only way I know of [00:10] !nvidia mobile [00:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia mobile - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:10] Jack_Sparrow, true,. but why would that stop firefox? [00:10] bod_, a feature then ? ;) [00:10] help... i cant get video to work properly. [00:10] bod_, I am thinking a script was used by his friend to try and get him going.. [00:10] Slart, Yeah it asks to add these lines to /etc/modules [00:10] drew_, yer,.,.if you like ;~) [00:10] drew_: you can change it in "properties" too.. but then you have to rightclick on the panel.. [00:10] mad_max02: let it do it's magic [00:10] Slart, you think I should add them ? [00:10] ok, I have discovered that I have the kernel driver loaded. However, it doesn't seem to like me. How can I go about fixing this, and make it work again? [00:10] Jack_Sparrow, what sort of script? [00:10] mad_max02: that's why you ran the program in the first place =) [00:11] Jack_Sparrow, flash downloading script? [00:11] so how would i uninstall flash? [00:11] i need help nvidia driver wont work, and nv just dont cut it. what do i do?? [00:11] Slart, okay lets try [00:11] Hi Jack_Sparrow, my x server that had worked for pass 6 month is now sudenly not workign and I have not even touched the configuration, (I tried chrooting with live cd and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with all the default options (seve selected) and didnt work) . Now I just get a gray screen when I should get a login screen [00:11] Slart, should I reboot after that or something ? [00:11] i mean BeOS have better 3d support for gods sake at this point [00:12] Chewy, not sue, you'd need to know the name of the plugin you donloaded [00:12] judgen: buy a new computer.. if indeed the nvidia driver wont work.. if you want help with the nvidia driver that's another thing of course.. [00:12] judgen, did you use the ubuntu package of the nvidia driver? [00:12] Chewy probably flash [00:12] tinman, what about recovery mode... can you get into that and from there can you startx [00:12] it is flash, just from the FLASH website [00:12] mad_max02: I'm not sure.. can't really remember [00:12] mewshi, yes [00:12] Jack_Sparrow, r u getting my pm replies> [00:12] ? [00:12] Slart, its an mobile chipset that has accelerated 3d in BeOS [00:12] Try using the official driver directly from nvidia [00:12] mad_max02: try running some kind of application that uses those sensors.. [00:12] Jack_Sparrow: Go to recovery mode and manually start x? [00:13] Slart, bod_ I've had to remove the clock and user switcher [00:13] Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe [00:13] when i put in my new external harddrive it says: hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000... Why cant i do anything with it? [00:13] tinman, Just a thought. [00:13] Slart, nforce4 go [00:13] bod.. no [00:13] Slart, I'll just reboot [00:13] judgen: and the restricted driver doesn't work? [00:13] judgen, go get the official nvidia driver from nvidia, and install it [00:14] Slart, as nvidia does not develop any go driver before geforce7, sadly no [00:14] mewshi: wouldn't apt-get install nvidia-glx-new be better? [00:14] mewshi, does not work as nvidia has never made the drivers for nvidia go [00:14] Jack_Sparrow, would sudo apt-get purge flash remove the flash he downloaded ,. or will it scew other things up? [00:14] untill now [00:14] no, because i had a similar experience with the ati driver [00:15] judgen: what chipset does the videocard use? [00:15] the ubuntu package had problems, but the offical driver worked great, and even automatically detected my proper dual-head setup :D [00:15] hello everybody [00:16] wont install flashplayer in fluxbuntu [00:16] mewshi: ati != nvidia [00:16] ? [00:16] miladen-> as soon as you plug in your external hd you get that error? [00:16] expect ati problems, nvidia works a whole lot better. [00:16] as soon as i try to open it yes [00:16] kazehakase [00:16] ? [00:16] Daisuke? O_o [00:16] as soon as i try to open it yes amenado [00:16] howto install flashplayer in kazehakase ? [00:16] Chewy, search Synaptic for Flash, anything that is installed called 'Flash' mark for complete removal [00:17] yes, daisuke, I know they're not the same [00:17] I was just relation an anecdote about the ubuntu package not being 'right' [00:17] miladen-> without opening it, type mount and paste the line for this partition here [00:17] judgen: I think you might be able to see the chipset.. or at least the device id by running "lspci -v" and looking for the videocard part [00:18] amenado this partition? it is just called media [00:18] miladen should be just one line am interested in [00:18] mewshi: understandable. [00:18] miladen well paste the result of mount..specifically just for that problematic partition [00:18] when is the next ubuntu release? are there any screenshots availble? [00:18] april [00:18] boolka: april, and it's going to look about the same [00:18] boolka, 8.04 [00:19] and i'm testing it atm [00:19] mostly under-the-hood improvements [00:19] it's pretty nice so far :D [00:19] there is a big theme change coming in october with the release of 8.10 (or so i've heard) [00:19] amenado in the terminal i type mount and then what? [00:19] interesting [00:19] Daisuke_Laptop, 8.10? [00:19] they should provide girl-friendly themes :P [00:19] miladen paste it here, i can not read your mind, so i can see here [00:19] Daisuke_Laptop, codename? [00:20] but with 8.04 being a long-term support release, it's not happening yet [00:20] bod_: intrepid ibex [00:20] miladen well paste the result of mount..specifically just for that problematic partition [00:20] is there a list of improvements? [00:20] which i hate saying :D [00:20] boolka: not yet [00:20] Daisuke_Laptop, what a stupid name,.,.;~) [00:21] bod_: hence why i hate saying it [00:21] i like ignoble iguana :D [00:21] Daisuke_Laptop, what does ignoble mean? [00:21] miladen have I lost you? [00:22] it means not noble [00:22] oh, ok,. ty === ehird` is now known as kilbot === kilbot is now known as ehird [00:22] Daisuke_Laptop, i agree,.that name is better [00:22] If i have a partition of 50Gb for a fresh install, i want to have: /, /home, /swap - what partion sizes should I pick for each? [00:22] an ibex is a horrible animal. lion snack is all it is [00:22] who's got VLC with Firefox 3.03b working? [00:23] EmmerP: there's no such thing as 3.03b in firefox yet [00:23] nfusco: /swap = size of ram, / = 6-8GiB, /home rest [00:23] nfusco: I'd use 10 GB for everything but home... swap should be about 2GB or so.. twice your memory... and the rest for /home [00:23] 3.0b3 sorry [00:23] probably 3.0b3 [00:23] wow, i'm good. [00:23] combat_, its usually swap = ram *2 [00:23] I see video, but don't see controls... or right-click menu [00:23] bod_, why? [00:24] Anyone good with x servers? :s [00:24] combat_, because swap isnt as good as physical memory,. so you need more,.,. its usually suggested to have twice the amount [00:24] the swap=ram*2 is an ancient rule passed down from our ancestors.. noone knows why.. =) [00:24] combat_: if you have over a gig of ram, it's safe to make it the same size as the ram [00:24] twice meory or same as memory or does it really matter? machine has 3Gb... [00:24] are there any linux programs that can encrypt a cd simular to full drive encryption? [00:24] 3gb memory [00:24] !anyone | tinman [00:24] tinman: 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? [00:24] Got a dvd/ cd drive that plays dvd's but wont recognise cd's [00:24] bod_: I have asked it 10 times hence simplifying the question :\ [00:24] what is the difference betwen server and normal edition? [00:24] server edition is the same tihng only it installs less by default? [00:25] bod_, its an old opinion, i only need swap for hibernate, and therefore it has the same size as my ram [00:25] combat_: it is totall bullshit to "use x2 more swap then you have ram" [00:25] combat_, fair play ;~) [00:25] acee1234: you could create a truecrypt volume and burn that to a cd.. I suppose [00:25] !wtf | LimCore [00:25] LimCore: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:25] LimCore: I think the server version doesn't install gnome/kde/xfce [00:25] the most common number is 1.5x ram [00:25] tinman, well people come and go all the time,. a question that isnt eally your question is unlikely to get you an answer [00:25] Slart: but it is the same distro, only it installs less by default? [00:26] so just match the size of your ram then? [00:26] LimCore: it's the same distro [00:26] LimCore: server version includes apache, mysql and php and no GUI [00:26] it depends on how much ram you have [00:26] Daisuke_Laptop: that is totall bull rainbow as well [00:26] mewshi, 3gb of RAm [00:26] Slart: ill give it a go [00:26] nfusco: the old 2x RAM is a bit old thinking, but if you wan to suspend you will need more than 2x ram [00:26] nfusco then prolly... like... 1GB swap [00:26] swap_size = RAM_SIZE - memory_your_applications_need_at_once * 1.2 + 128 mb [00:26] bod_: Somehow my x server crashed (I havent touched the configs) so i chrooted through a live cd then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and used all teh default options (seve was selected) but the problem still presists [00:26] so basicly, use 2 gb swap. [00:26] or less [00:27] tinman: describe problem [00:27] Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe [00:27] is there a graphical proggy that lets me add boot entries to grub ? [00:27] merde extraordinaire, i see [00:27] tinman, well,. im off in a min, so you should prob address the channel,. not just me [00:27] LimCore: forgive me for offending the almighty swap god. i was just quoting the most common number bandied about [00:27] SimplySeth: like, kate [00:27] Ok, I need help fixing my internet configuration settings [00:27] LimCore: cool .. kate .. thanks [00:27] I A) don't want to see wlan0_rename anymore [00:27] SimplySeth, /boot/grub/menu.lst is self-explaining, u dont need a tool for it [00:27] and for most users, who have 1-2gb ram, 1.5x ram is a perfectly sane amount. [00:27] Daisuke_Laptop: ok you ar forgiven, next time dont quote stupid old superstitions [00:27] Hey guys any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? i can't run azureus because of it, and i dont intend to isntall sun's eithe [00:27] mohbana: on 64bit? [00:28] void^, yes [00:28] I am having problems burning cd's in 7.10. Is anybody else having any issues? [00:28] !elaborate | warriorforgod [00:28] warriorforgod: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [00:28] b) want my bloody wireless to work [00:28] warriorforgod: k3b works fine here. what is the problem [00:28] thanks guys [00:28] combat_: yeah .. I'm a vi master .. but I'm out to show the world that Ubuntu can be as mindlessly easy to configure as the worst OS :) [00:28] mohbana: there seems to be an issue with the build environment, who knows when it will be figured out.. [00:28] LimCore: perhaps you could try not being a dick and sharing this information before calling people and ideas "stupid" [00:28] warriorforgod: I have problems too.. my problem is that I don't have any blank cds.. what is yours? [00:28] i'll let myself out [00:28] !ohmy | Daisuke_Laptop [00:28] Daisuke_Laptop: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:29] void^, it works perfectly fine on fedora 8 64 bit, what seems to be the matter, can't they just resolve it [00:29] SimplySeth, most people in the world dont need to add boot-entries :D [00:29] How do I find out all packages (installed or not) that depend on a package? [00:30] I have been able to burn cd's find up until today. I cannot seem to blank a cd-rw or burn one without gnomebaker, or Write-to-disc saying there was an error in burning. [00:30] a GUI wouldn't be so hard, browse for kernael image, set sane defaults that can be configed with an advanced button, easy really [00:30] Kuwanger: perhaps in synaptic or other gui (or not gui) package manager by browsing dependencies info [00:30] combat_: unless they have a lost boot partition somewhere :-/ [00:30] Kuwanger: if you use synaptic, it will tell you when you right click on a package and select properties [00:30] combat_: but good point [00:30] Kuwanger: there are probably better ways.. but you could try removing it and see what goes with it.. use the -s switch to simulate [00:30] LimCore: thanks for tryin' ta help :) [00:30] mohbana: like i said, an issue with the build environment. if you build it yourself (from ubuntu sources even) it will work just fine. [00:30] Why not set up different channels for different topics? [00:31] mewshi: there are many other channels =) [00:31] there are already [00:31] mewshi: it would be very very confusing for the people trying to help out [00:31] combat_: I'm bloggin' the setup of my Lappy too .. :) [00:32] !elaborate SimplySeth [00:32] hm... well, still, then if someone has, say, a wireless problem, they could go to #ubuntuWireless or something [00:32] instead of this crap here [00:32] its is not crap [00:32] *hands mewshi some TP [00:32] mewshi: this is a good idea which some people try to implement ;) want to help? [00:32] mewshi: and noone would be there.. we'd all be in the general channel [00:33] mewshi: that would be too specific and the helpful folks would have to switch between lots of different channels. horrible idea [00:33] Having so many different topics that it's impossible to keep track IS crap, sorry :\ [00:33] mewshi: what Wireless device are you running ? what is your issue ? have you used KWLan ? [00:33] anyone use firestarter, firewall for ubuntu? [00:33] mewshi-> you have apache issues? visit apache channel, java? java channel [00:33] AtomicSpark: yes ? [00:33] mewshi: if you are down to provide support for the wireless problems, then by all means, go ahead and do it [00:34] yeah, but those channels don't have over 1000 people all talking about DIFFERENT THINGS [00:34] it's REALLY hard to keep track :\ [00:34] erm, whats happened to the hidd tool in the bluez-utils package in hardy? cant connect my bluetooth devices anymore [00:34] mewshi: want to help with such idea? [00:34] imagine that, people complaining about free support [00:34] is there any way to "merge" two ext3 partitions? one is / and the other is /export/home; i'd like these to not be partitioned. [00:34] the beauty of open source, great minds comes together. :P [00:34] mewshi: you can always start by putting the name of the person you're talking to first in the line [00:34] combat_: is it in gnome-bluetooth ? [00:34] (both contain data that i need to preserve) [00:34] SimplySeth: i just installed it and it's blocking TCP connections already from a public ip address (i am behind a firewall) and i dont have port forwarding enabled. this is probably stuff from gaim being blocked correct? i have nothing else running. [00:35] AtomicSpark: that would be a good guess .. yes [00:35] SimplySeth, no it belongs to bluez-utils, but i reinstalled bluez-utils a few times and there appaers no hidd :( [00:35] * AtomicSpark found lookup hostname option [00:35] heh aol [00:35] zeeeee-> not in one shot, save both to a temporary dir, repartition or merge the two, then move the temp over [00:35] amenado, thanks! [00:35] suddenly, hidd disappeared after a bluez-utils update, a few weeks ago [00:36] @zeeeee: copy /export/home to a temporary location in your "/", afterwards use eg. gparted and repartition [00:36] SimplySeth: should i allow or ignore? only thing that works in pidgin is p2p from and to pidgin lol. [00:36] I'm trying to be helpful [00:36] AtomicSpark: disallow unless you really really really know you need it :) [00:36] how to i expand the partition where root is mounted?? it seems i need to unmount a partition to extend it but i cant unmount / [00:36] Hilikus: 'cause / is your c:\ drive ?

That is the same card I have. [01:21] dude I asked for help because I dont know what to do [01:22] not because I'm bored [01:22] Oh -- alpha as in Hardy?

[01:31] maimster: he's trying to use compiz... unfortunately his card requires the binary driver... and he's robably already hosed any chance of getting it to work by using envy [01:32] mad_max02 IndyGunFreak just explained it. Thanks. [01:32] IndyGunFreak: That's a "temporary hose", right? Can't he just uninstall everything he installed? [01:32] Anyone having a problem with download speeds?

Oh well, doesn't sound like it will work for 965 anyway until the next release. [01:33] IndyGunFreak, nope. thats the problem. [01:33] don't know. === LeGreffi3R is now known as LeGreffi3R[Multi === LeGreffi3R[Multi is now known as LeGreffi3R [01:33] con [01:34] IndyGunFreak, I can select custom and use compiz but I cant select extra coz then it asks to enable driver which installs the old 100.xx one [01:34] How I extract a .tar.gz file?

Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:35] Lets try :) [01:35] hmm [01:35] maybe you can install with safe graphics [01:35] and install driverS? [01:35] Dunno yet [01:35] you can boot into safe mode [01:36] Loading. [01:36] I'm just curious. How do i uninstall stuff that I've installed by doing make install? [01:36] IndyGunFreak, ah. Ok. Then I should uninstall it ? I have problem coz I cant install driver manually [01:36] uninstall [01:36] ?

[01:43] hi [01:43] magnetron: there are TONS of troyans, worms, rootkits etc targetet at linux. such fanboi articles do not help by false sense of security [01:44] LimCore: the article is only about VIRUSES. please don't confuse viruses with other malware [01:44] but with linux, if you get a virus you go into Godmode (Use the CLI) and cleanse it [01:44] How do you run commands with a keystroke in the terminal [01:44] magnetron: users confuse it. No viruses (omg omg) ....but rootkits etc. [01:44] I'm a newbie in Linux, plz help me fix the problem [01:44] whatcha need ogre [01:44] ogre_: what problem [01:45] could some please help me take care of this error: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvolume-id0_113-0ubuntu17_amd64.deb: files list file for package `mono-runtime' is missing final newline [01:45] LimCore: go google "rootkit" [01:45] how will ubuntu handle a new dvd drive [01:45] celi0us: and? [01:45] LimCore: so we agree the article is not faulty [01:45] when i run vpnc, it causes my connection to the server to choke, and eventually nautilus freezes. Even cd'ing to the server in a terminal freezes up. Any ideas? [01:45] I just finished reading the article about the virii Awesome read! [01:45] Ecoblue: all you need are the driver and software to run DVDs from it [01:45] how do you open something from the system try without a mouse? [01:45] LimCore: it's just possible to misinterpret... as other texts [01:45] like VLC player [01:45] magnetron: worms, viruses, same thing for end user [01:45] I don't now how to chage xdm to kdm [01:46] Kubuntu 7.10 [01:46] LimCore: no. [01:46] EitheL, will it just detect it and use it? [01:46] also is there a shortcut for switching screens? [01:46] ogre_: Have you installed kdm ? [01:46] yep [01:46] works for me :P [01:46] anyone able to solve that problem [01:46] yes [01:46] magnetron: I got my files deleted by a virus :(((( No... WAIT! it was a WORM not a virus! pheeeew! [01:46] ur comp should be able to detect it even before linux starts up [01:46] ok, so i just got a new dvd drive and installed it, however, gxine wont detect it, and says something about dma mode rad failure from /dev/dvd. the device in question is a brand new lg super multi dvd burner with secure disk capabilities. how should i configure this device? [01:46] thats how ppl install linux anyway :P [01:47] LimCore: worms don't do that, get your facts straight [01:47] magnetron: some do, why not? or cause other damage [01:47] magnetron: he apparentlly likes to imbelish a bit, in case you havent noticed [01:47] * magnetron is imbelished [01:47] it might delete files on a host system (e.g., the ExploreZip worm) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm [01:48] Evening guys.

I work with a hosting company for our corporate [01:48] magnetron: either you, or wikipedia article on Worms, is mistaken. I guess that you [01:48] Teqsun partition for boot , logical or primary ?

[02:06] yeah, i almost fell out of my chair in shock at the graphical install [02:06] lol [02:06] and how sound actually worked out of the box. [02:06] Hey guys. I have a newb ? here. I don't really know what I referring to, but I think it's a DNS thing. Here's my scenario. I have a Dapper box up and running, everything works good. I ahve a static IP, and our router points port 80 to our box. I use a seperate hosting company and would like to have dev.ourcompany.com point to out box. With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME [02:06] hardware support is quite good now days [02:06] Lifeisfunn: http://tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/development.html [02:07] yeah, i just need to figure out this wireless adapter issue. it says i need some proprietary firmware, or something. i [02:07] I guess the reason i can do a namesever thing from my host is because this is a sub-domain- is what I want even possible? [02:07] will have to do some googling. [02:07] Ashnal: Fine, but I still doubt it's the kernel that's the issue. [02:07] wols_: http://pastebin.ca/922867 <- the x log you wanted me to pastebin [02:07] rycole: whats yhour wireless chipset? [02:07] rycole what wireless do you have/ [02:08] well, it's a newer dell laptop, so im sure it'll have some support somewhere. it was telling me the chipset in a notification earlier.. let me see if i can find it again [02:08] rycole: open a terminal, "lspci" no quotes.. see how it identifies your wireless device [02:09] or lsusb depending lol [02:09] tinman: this is not the one when it doesn't work, is it? you get vesa loaded with it. what vga chipset do you use? [02:09] true, well i'm assuming its internal. [02:09] * wols_ bets it's a broadcom. oh joy [02:09] right i did also when i bought this new box [02:09] wols_: umm, inbuilt intel vedio card? [02:09] mine is usb though [02:09] rt73 [02:10] jsteezey: how does it work? [02:10] tinman: so why is acpi and agpgart not working? [02:10] great with the Ralink drivers [02:10] umm.. the output of lspci is at http://dpaste.com/37294/ [02:10] the one is the repo are horrible [02:10] wols_: when it dosent loat it points to something/gdm/defaultXserver or something similar and says too many paramaters on line 47 [02:10] jsteezey: whats the specific make/model of your device? [02:10] also i had to blacklist all the other Ralink modules [02:10] broadcom, you were right wols_ :P [02:10] !error | tinman [02:10] tinman: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

Any ideas what could be the problem? [02:12] jsteezey: what model USB wireless device do you have? [02:12] genbuntu: some other program already uses the port nessus wants to use [02:12] uh its a Ralink rt73 [02:12] genbuntu-> which port your nessus is attempting to use? [02:12] if I have a program that I want to start up automatically how do I do it? [02:12] jsteezey: thats a chipset isn't it? [02:13] wols_: okey, it's /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer and somethign about too many parameters on line 47, that what i get when i try to boot in [02:13] wols, amenado: how to I check which prot nessus or other program is trying? [02:13] IndyGunFreak: ok ill check that link out. that's the thing it was giving me in the notification earlier, btw. the bcm43xx :P [02:13] tinman: you don't get that. I need concrete steps what you do and what the exact error is [02:13] Hey guys. I have a newb ? here. I don't really know what I referring to, but I think it's a DNS thing. Here's my scenario. I have a Dapper box up and running, everything works good. I ahve a static IP, and our router points port 80 to our box.

With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME [02:13] rycole: lol [02:13] IndyGun: I guess [02:14] jsteezey: well i don't think ralink makes a usb device, thats strictly a chipset. [02:14] genbuntu-> look to its manual? readme files? [02:14] does anyone know of any tool which will tell you the bandwidth usage/ total bandwidth used in the past 24 hours, hopefully something like a graph that just sits in my desktop bar [02:14] hang on ill get it [02:14] im on my laptop [02:14] wols_: There is no way i can copy errors during bot up, i boot into ubuntu and when I an supposed to get login screen it tells me X server failed to load and wehter i want to view the error or not, and when I do it gives the aforementioned error [02:14] what is avant window manager called in the repos? [02:15] tinman: then pastebin THAT error [02:15] amenado: hmm.. surprising. when i try to "man nessus" it says "No manual entry for nessus" . [02:15] EXACT error [02:15] Hi all...weird thing happening. I've tried installing DVD playback using the instructions found under "Help and Support" in the menu, and when it didn't work, I went to the Ubuntu Documentation site for Restricted Codecs, but now my DVD-RW doesn't read discs and I get "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" and "end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 4" in messages.

[02:15] wow I finally got this to work, lol [02:15] I want ubuntu to be able to display my battery charge [02:15] tinman: and yes it is possible [02:15] wols_: where can I find that error? [02:15] LimCore: Thanks man [02:15] when you display it [02:15] genbuntu-> maybe you have to google for it [02:15] amenado: btw, i used the .deb package for its installation [02:16] what is awm under in the repos? [02:16] tinman: errors never say "somethign about" so don't try to fool me [02:16] genbuntu-> research what it uses as ports [02:16] hello... [02:16] amenado: do u remember what was the command to view all the internet applications which are using ports ? (something similar to "top" ) ?

Is there anything that I can repartition my drive? [02:21] how do i edit my context menus (ie. right-click menu) in kde? [02:21] amenado, can I manually stop that port's use : tcp 1241? [02:21] jsteezey: never cared for sabayon., are you sure thats the right model number?.. can't find one of that model for belkin [02:21] genbuntu-> those port are not showing in lsof -i ?

[02:22] amenado, lsof -i only shows 5 ports in use : 4 of pidgin and 1 of xchat [02:22] tristanmike, thanx [02:22] on_hiatus i had that problem [02:22] genbuntu-> netstat -aup same? [02:22] how do I change a users password that I've just created? [02:22] & how did you fix it, jahromeo? [02:22] on_hiatus: how much do you have? [02:22] tinman, log in on a terminal CTRL-ALT-F1 and issue the command: sudo modprobe intel-agp [02:22] genbuntu-> netstat -atup same? [02:23] on_hiatus is it a kubuntu or ubuntu install [02:23] any one get a card reader on aspire 3680 working ?

[02:23] installer* [02:23] IndyGunFreak:how can i find out cuz i went to Ralinks website and that was the only one that was listed under RT73 chipset along with one other Linksys device [02:23] amenado, netstat -aup gives a list of only UDP ports, and none of them are 1241. [02:23] tinman, also, you can check if intel-agp is loaded: lsmod |grep intel-agp [02:23] whats a good rss feed program?

[02:24] killerbeesateme, thanks [02:24] ok on_hiatus and 82% is scanning mirrors? [02:24] AutoMatriX: no problem. [02:24] tristanmike: no [02:24] kubuntus 82% is scanning mirrors thats where i got stuck , can fix that [02:24] IndyGunFreak: when i do that it doesnt list a wireless device [02:24] is ubuntu the same? [02:24] killerbeesateme, that gives you a real-time warning ? or can it be configued that way ? [02:24] hmm [02:25] jahromeo: not sure I understand your reply... old noob disease... [02:25] IndyGunFreak:it just list other devices [02:25] hoarycripple: i am on live cd, should i do that in recovery mode [02:25] jsteezey: is your wireless device connected to a USb device? [02:25] on_hiatus when it says 82% what part of the install is it busy doing "scanning mirrors" [02:25] *port [02:25] now im going to ask a bunch of questions and i want you to answer them immediately [02:25] on_hiatus, I'd say if Jahromeo has a solution for you, great, otherwise, I'd suggest doing the text based install and see if you have better luck [02:25] AutoMatriX: Yes, it will place a program in your system tray that will turn red with alerts...if I remember correctly. I havne't used it for a while [02:25] bastid_raZor what are the default permissions given to a user? [02:25] hoarycripple: also, i fond the error using google, the forum said dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg fixed one guys problem but the the other ones [02:25] no... if i understand you... no... I'm working off a cd [02:25] I had this issue with Kubuntu and I fixed it so if ubuntu installer is similar nowdays it might work [02:26] IndyGunFreak:its in the back of the box [02:26] AutoMatriX: it's pretty easy to set up too, it will also monitor active connections too [02:26] ok, tristanmike...thx [02:26] hmm [02:26] yes but during install when it reaches 82% is installer displaying "scanning for mirrors" e.g. does it get stuck when its scanning for repositories? [02:26] IndyGunFreak:all i had to do was srew on the attena [02:26] ok. [02:26] amenado, hmm.. netstat -atup gives some tcp and udp ports . Some tcp ones are like :*:nfs , *:netbios-ssn , localhost:ipp etc.. [02:26] Ashnal: You can download a kernel here: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-image-2.6.22-14-386_2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb [02:26] not that I recall... [02:26] IndyGunFreak:it just said it was usb in network menager [02:26] IndyGunFreak:the one that is in the KDE [02:26] amenado, but none specifically 1241 [02:26] ok [02:26] on kubuntu when it gets stuck at 82% it is a bug with scanning the repo's what I do for that is enable/disable network card [02:26] stupid noob should have written that down... [02:27] and installer carries on [02:27] on_hiatus, out of curiosity, do you get an error telling you you're out of RAM ? or is that an assumption ? [02:27] ... and next time i will [02:27] jsteezey: so its actualy in a PCi lot? [02:27] killerbeesateme, ok, so I will not get into trouble if I plugin a windows machine via ethernet ? [02:27] so if its a mirroring issue disable network card / internet then install [02:27] tristanmike... assumption [02:27] can anyone help me with xcompmgr here please>? [02:27] genbuntu am not familiar with nessus nor what port 1241 is.. [02:27] IndyGunFreak:maybe [02:27] IndyGunFreak:lol i feel like a noob [02:27] hi, When I type shift 2, I get ¨ instead of the usual quote mark... this is a problem as I cant do querys on google and I have a similar problem with apostrophe. How can I put the normal ones on? [02:27] it seems to load slowly... then stop at about 82% [02:27] on_hiatus, have you confirmed the disc is good by doing a check on it ? [02:27] genbuntu-> are you sure those are the port it uses now? [02:27] jarrettgreen; what you give them. [02:28] and wols http://pastebin.ca/922893 that's the EXACT error i am getting [02:28] yes... worked just fine on my friends machine [02:28] is the install direct from the livecd like kubuntu on_hiatus? [02:28] Are there any good GUI video editors available? [02:28] cool [02:28] xcompmgr is giving me a continuous error... someone please help [02:28] IndyGunFreak:i dont even now what device it is but i had to compile the rt73 drivers and it works now lol [02:28] now im going to ask a bunch of questions and i want you to answer them immediately! [02:28] amenado, yes thats what someone posted on the internet [02:28] jsteezey: ok. [02:28] it is a live cd that can also be used for a traditional install [02:28] AutoMatriX: are you using the linux box as a firewall for the windows machine? or are you just on the same network? [02:28] genbunt verify, it proly has a config file, look for it [02:28] alright people...I'm a little desperate and I need some help...I'm trying to rescue my filesever HDD data and temporarily transfer it to a windows machine [02:28] genbuntu verify, it proly has a config file, look for it [02:28] on_hiatus sounds the same as kbuntu install - if it gets stuck on 82% check if installer says "scanning for mirrors" if thats the case go into networking disable and enable network card / internet [02:29] ok, jahromeo... thx [02:29] on_hiatus, yeah, for sure. Um, I still suggest if you still hit a roadblock, to do the text based install and see if you have better luck...however, the upgrade may work too... [02:29] amenado, okie . *runs off to look for more info* [02:29] I have sysrecuecd booted and I'm staring at a command prompt, not quite remembering how to setup the SMB from command prompt [02:29] killerbeesateme, I'd like to 'dowload' some pics to my windowsmachine but I don't trust that thing :D don't know what's been going on with it and if it's contaminated or not [02:29] thx, tristanmike [02:29] How do I supress "gnome-session" 's many debug/warning messages?

[02:30] ugh...okay [02:30] Kuwanger: why are you using xcompmgr? [02:30] err [02:30] i'm starting to think that the sheer size is the problem... you know... the more complex the more likely to break [02:30] KilllerKlown: ^^ [02:30] i'm getting an error 182 when i run xcompmgr [02:30] please help [02:30] Kuwanger: is there any way to fix this without a liveCD?

[02:30] hi, When I type shift 2, I get ¨ instead of the usual quote mark... this is a problem as I cant do querys on google and I have a similar problem with apostrophe. How can I put the normal ones on? [02:30] Ashnal: And once you do, you should put the kernel image into /boot. Now, that may be on the root partition or it may not be. But if it is, you should also see a /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:30] dude i'm running fluxbox ... its the shizzle [02:30] AutoMatriX: well if you're looking to protect your linux box from it, it should work perfectly for you.

I've read it's a problem with the inittab or event.d format is invalid, but a fresh install shouldnt have such bugs. this also happens with 8.04.

I use a seperate hosting company and would like to have dev.ourcompany.com point to out box. With my host I can redirect (which just resovles to the ugly IP but works) or do a CNAME [02:38] Ashnal: Download a tftp server. Download a netboot image to server. Run the tftp server. And then netboot from the other system. [02:38] wols: pardon me, I misread and didn't AGF.

[03:08] have to check manullay to update [03:08] jarrettgreen: well is your domain actually hosted by CNAME too? or is by another company like godaddy or networksolutions? [03:08] tinman: but not before? [03:08] wols, works perfectly [03:08] nickrud: You helped me wiht some vid problems I had :D [03:09] Ashnal: Here's an example for a rescue floppy: http://freshmeat.net/projects/tomsrtbt/ [03:09] Elevator_Hazard: heh.

[03:09] tinman: so X "sorta" works with startx [03:09] wols: can i copy xorg.conf from live cd and some how paste on my root partition [03:09] btw, the answer to my question is GParted. [03:09] Ashnal: I have to go, but I'll hopefully be back later. In any case, you can look for more help by searching for pxelinux. [03:09] purge gdm and reinstall it [03:09] wols, it starts, kinda [03:09] nickrud: also I had problems with my usb audio you said you couldn't help me with. Figured it out, set frequency to something else and the sound is wonderful [03:09] hmm, okey [03:09] tinman: you can try. nothing you can break :) [03:09] in yelp how do i change what the help is? like what if i want to change what it looks like when it starts up?

[03:10] yes [03:10] under specific domains and subdomains [03:10] nickrud: actually the opposite [03:10] jarrettgreen: ok [03:10] Elevator_Hazard: ah. Well, I'll remember that one [03:10] How do I extract a .zip file in the terminal? [03:10] jarrettgreen: so when you add a cname, is there a spot for a subdomain or hostname and an ip address? [03:10] wols: when i do startx, the screen becomes black for a second, then i get the aformentioned paraller lines, total of about 10-15 lines maybe [03:10] Elevator_Hazard: actually I kinda lied, I might remember that one ;) [03:11] killerbeesateme - i dunno it just asks for an 'alias' [03:11] nickrud: heh, yea. It was a Logitech USB Headset 250 [03:11] dvarg388: Yep. And I have a MAC osX who work without problems. So I assume the router is ok. But in Ubuntu 7.1, something is missing. Is there a way to see if my laptop can see the network (even if not working )? [03:11] Devourer: install unzip [03:11] tinman: what does ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager say? [03:12] Can anyone link me to some good resources for setting up hardware RAID 1? [03:12] Elevator_Hazard: now I remember. Might get one of those, now that I know they work [03:12] steph_: iwconfig if it's wireless [03:12] szx0: depends a bit on the driver iirc [03:12] szx0: what'S your raid card? [03:12] wols: r [03:12] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-01-31 23:33 etc/alternatives/x-window-manager -> /usr/bin/metacity [03:12] killerbeesatme - ok I read the faq and I think that's where I put the other domain, under alias. [03:12] jarrettgreen: in that spot, enter dev [03:12] nickrud: They actually are a little bit fragile, I had another pair and the ear peice thing started to come loose. In the end a wire broke in between those and they stopped working. [03:12] can some one help me with freaking bcm43xx.. i can't believe how messed up this stuff is.. i can't get it to connect.. ive installed bcm43xx cutter, tried ndiswrapper.. nothing worked [03:12] wols: it's built into my MB... Tyan Tomcat K8E S2865 [03:13] nickrud: I had a year warranty though. [03:13] jarrettgreen: does it prompt for an IP address anywhere? [03:13] Elevator_Hazard: good [03:13] wols: i an running the ls in th mounted root partition and not in liveCD's /etc bt [03:13] btw* [03:13] hi [03:13] tinman: update-rc.d x-window-manager and try some other one. or maybe apt-get install fluxbox and checkt he x-window-manager link again [03:13] tinman: good thinking :) [03:13] billy: what chip number [03:13] dvarg388: It gives me information about eth1. But is it the information I wrote/configure or it is a kind of "reply" from the router? [03:13] tinman: go and install irssi on the ubuntu install thn you don't constantly need to reboot and can be in here [03:14] szx0: doesn't say what chip it is [03:14] C3PO: *tweet clack clack whirrrrr* [03:14] killerbeesateme - no specifically, and when i put in the ip it says the top level domain I entered isn't valid [03:14] szx0: but to be fair, I dunno much about hw raid either [03:14] wols: screen through shell [03:14] hi I am using the flashplugin-nonfree on amd64 with nspluginwrapper and I cannot play flash in firefox [03:14] any ideas? [03:14] tinman: what irc client are you running right now? [03:14] irssi [03:15] ssh'ing into a shell then screening into irssi [03:15] jarrettgreen: so you put in the CNAME alias, as dev, or dev.blinkmg.com and then it never asks for an IP address? [03:15] bahadunn: i dont think flash works on 64 bit [03:15] danbhfive: it is suppose to with nspluginwrapper [03:15] hey guys, I've never been able to get my mic working on ubuntu. Off the top of anybody's head, besides things being muted or not plugged in, is there any reason this might happen? [03:15] problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30. wifi devices are not detected after reboot. second reboot fixes problem. ideas? [03:15] danbhfive: with nspluginwrapper it sorta does [03:15] but tricky to setup usually [03:16] wols, just to let you know, I've fixed it... just changed the type of the "dvd" to auto in fstab... [03:16] wols: is there any alternative? [03:16] killerbeesateme http://faq.1and1.com/domains/dns_settings/13.html [03:16] is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)? [03:16] see if you can get to that [03:16] genbuntu-> if you go to init level 1 ? [03:16] bahadunn: mre info would help. e.g. maybe start ffox from a xterm and check the ouput [03:16] wols: The MB chipset is "nVIDIA nForce4 Ultra" with "NVRAID"... hmm ill dig some more [03:16] wols: besides gnash which has never worked for me [03:16] bahadunn: could be flash doesn't get /dev/dsp and gets cranky [03:16] szx0: that is NO hardware raid. [03:16] this may sound stupid, but does anyone know how to find the Linksys WUSB54G 64bit driver? [03:16] szx0: don't use it [03:17] nickrud: sorry got disconnected [03:17] wols: all I did was install flashplugin-nonfree and then run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplugin.so [03:17] Wabbity: what chipset does it use? [03:17] would anyone be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to build an .iso. [03:17] nickrud: any ways, its bcm4311 [03:17] Problem: My monitor cant display the mode upon boot and shutdown that has the graphical display with the orange bar. Is there a conf file to change the resolution it goes to? [03:17] bahadunn: that's not what I talked about [03:17] Any wiz's at ati drivers around? [03:17] its v1... [03:17] wols: oh... hmm... why do you say that? [03:17] Xupiter: use k3b or mkisofs for the commandline [03:18] billy: same as mine, so I at leat know this one [03:18] wols: I realize that but you asked for more info so I am providing it [03:18] ok, thank you very much!! [03:18] nickrud: fo sho [03:18] szx0: bacuse it isn't. not chipset based raid is ever hardware raid. adapter, 3ware they make some (not all) hardware raid cards. tyan puts sometimes their chips on the mobo: hw raid too. but chipset raid is NEVER EVER hardware raid [03:18] nickrud: ive tried everything [03:18] !fakeraid [03:18] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:18] I have a weird issue with Adobe Flash freezing and looping during video or animation even after it has buffered. It just stops moving and the sound stutters for a few seconds, then it resumes a few seconds later (causing you to miss those few seconds of video). It seems to be completely random when it happens. [03:18] billy: I'm reviewing some stuff, a sec [03:19] billy: poor you [03:19] jarrettgreen: so, when you get into that screen, what does it say under the Domain name spot, the first field? [03:19] gibb: you need to change the image size in /etc/usplash.conf [03:19] have to check manullay to update [03:19] wols: you have no idea [03:19] nickrud: ever tried a .24 kernel? [03:19] philphoto, thx [03:19] killerbeesateme - could you read the faq? [03:19] wols: mine works just fine with th3 .22 [03:19] I got it working [03:19] thanks anyways [03:19] jarrettgreen: yea i was able to get into it [03:19] wols: It's WUSB54Gv1 I remember reading somewhere that it isn't the same chipset as the v4. [03:19] gibb: that could be one culprit [03:19] philphoto, is it an image that takes up the whole resolution? what causes it to go that that mode? [03:19] hello ! [03:19] killerbeesateme - ok well check this out I think this is what I need? http://faq.1and1.com/domains/dns_settings/12.html [03:19] Wabbity: find out which one it is [03:19] an A-Name? [03:19] nickrud: i might get disconnected for a minute here, ill tell you when i get back [03:20] Off the top of anyone's head - can you use a remote admin tool on windows to remote admin / use remote desktop in linux? [03:20] wols: so, it would not be acceptable to use the chipset based raid just for mirroring a Hard Disk to another? [03:20] Anyone have some ideas on how to get decent performance with newer flgrx drivers? I need to use one of the catalyst 7.12 drivers or up, because of suspend issues. Except i am getting horrible performance compaired to the flgrx drives that come with ubuntu [03:20] bahadunn: how? [03:20] jarrettgreen: i think you want the a-name [03:20] err a record [03:20] szx0: no. use linux software raid [03:20] gibb: it should be set to the default screen res that you have associated with your graphics card [03:20] szx0: no problem with raid1 anyways: no computation [03:20] jarrettgreen: if you can use an ip address to access your website, then just use an a record [03:20] wols: gotcha! ill read on that, thanks [03:21] philphoto, uh oh. hmm. The screen after grub right? thats the one im talking about. I wonder what its deal is? ill mess with the conf. thx [03:21] bandhfive - I'm guessing this works on subdomains too - I'm just trying to point a dev subdomain to my dapper hox so I can work on Ruby on Rails apps and other things our hos doesn't provide [03:21] cdsboy: ask ati.com: their software. we can only support ubuntu drivers [03:21] gibb: it's just a splash script. what are you wondering about it? [03:22] billy: try running sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [03:22] wols: i was just hoping there was a graphics wiz laying around [03:22] nickrud: theres no internet connection on my ubutu comp at all [03:22] jarrettgreen: yeah, i think it will work. It looks like 1and1 is handling dns for you, so you don't have to worry that it is a subdomain [03:22] nickrud: im on a windows comp in here.. [03:22] Flash freezes up, hiccups, or whatever you want to call it with different video cards and drivers. I tried even different versions of Firefox. it's driving me insane [03:23] danbhfive: how can it work if he isn't the auth domainserver for his domain? [03:23] wols: prisim chipset [03:23] billy: bummer. A sec again [03:23] danbhfive - awesome! Dooes this take long to propogate? Does it even need to propogate? [03:23] nickrud:k [03:23] err propagate [03:23] Wabbity: prism should be supported out of the box [03:23] jarrettgreen: about 24 hours, i think [03:24] jarrettgreen: but i've never seen it take that long [03:24] hi, I was going through the 'Synce on Ubuntu' instructions, and was finally succesful at getting a connection to my pda, but then I noticed that my internet connection wasn't working I had to uninstall ppp to get it to work again. Does anyone know of a workaround? [03:24] danbhfive killerbeesate me thanks guys. I'll see if it takes. [03:24] wols: I'm not totally sure of the question, which may stem from my ignorance on dns, from the link given, it looks like 1and1 takes care of it [03:25] This has been the last step to what was a very enjoyable first time experience setting up a linux box. [03:25] wols: *but from [03:25] jarrettgreen: no problem. i apologize mixing up A record and CNAME. [03:25] billy: ok, it's a really short script. go get http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [03:25] if it does, their server is the only one where he can set his subdomains [03:25] wols: under the hardware manager I get unknown in the usb slot [03:25] killerbeesateme - no prob man, you got me there somehow... [03:25] Wabbity: lsusb [03:25] nickrud: i did thatone already.. used to work not anymore [03:25] billy: used to not work? [03:26] billy: doh, mis read [03:26] nickrud: i had it working, but then it stopped and i totally reinstaled ubuntu [03:26] Occationally when printing from my networked lasar printer, the printing process will hang consuming a huge amount of the processor. Top says it's user "lp" with a GS command. printing hung with an email I wanted to print. Any ideas why this would happen? [03:26] and now i can't get t to work at all [03:26] billy: if it worked once, it'll work again. [03:26] hey guys, I've never been able to get my mic working on ubuntu. Off the top of anybody's head, besides things being muted or not plugged in, is there any reason this might happen? [03:26] nickrud: i tried it again after the install.. its not working at all [03:27] jamesrdorn: in that 1and1 dns webpage, can you set your home IP as the IP for the subdomain? [03:27] anyone have a recommendation for a usb bluetooth dongle. Apparently the one that comes with Microsoft Desktop Entertainment 7000 isn't fully supported, so I'll need to get one. [03:27] nickrud: thats the first thing i tried after the install [03:27] eccentricity, Drivers not being available [03:27] billy: lsmod | grep bcm43xx , is it there? [03:27] Anyone feel like helping me with some FStab stuff? [03:27] d0s4gw: sup? [03:27] I just installed a 250 GB SATA drive [03:27] !hcl > eternalswd [03:27] does anyone use an ipod touch? [03:27] yeah its there [03:28] 1anyone > fevel [03:28] Partitioned it with GParted. Now I want to mount it [03:28] !anyone | fevel [03:28] fevel: 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? [03:28] billy: with a couple of ieee80212 things? [03:28] I tried something but it is only showing up as 94 GB [03:28] !fstab | d0s4gw [03:28] d0s4gw: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:28] nickrud: i have a paste on ubuntu forums.. h/o and yes [03:28] and I can't write to it. [03:28] billy: so far so good. do you have a paste of /lib/firmware ? [03:28] /dev/sda1 /media/sata_drive_1 ext3 defaults 0 0 [03:28] nickrud: h/o [03:29] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57780/ [03:29] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57780/ [03:29] nickrud, Do you know what chipset it is yet? [03:29] naaah im just chatterring and looking for some questions i could anser [03:29] I'm having problems with synaptic... I tried to install ubuntu-restricted, then synaptic froze when it was unpackaging msttcorefonts and quit. When I next launched it, it told me to run dpkg -a, which I did, but now one of the files to download, trebuc32.exe, won't complete. It's stuck at 68%. What should I do? [03:29] hello [03:29] nickrud, More specific than bcm43xx I mean [03:29] jordanu: bcm4311 [03:29] Jordan_U: 4311 [03:29] Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone? [03:29] nickrud: did you ever try a .24 kernel with your wlan? [03:29] Jordan_U you know wireless much better, if you would take that? [03:29] wols: no. Never needed to [03:30] so can i get some help now [03:30] I was wondering thexperiences people had with touch and ubuntu [03:30] Sinnerman: how do you know it's not permission? === puff is now known as jrhammer` [03:30] cheeby: ping google.com [03:30] nickrud, Sure, I probably know less than you think though :) [03:30] can some admin ban the spammers at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/search?ordering=new [03:30] they are screwing up the site [03:30] I have a basic question. Is it possible to tell /etc/fstab to mount a certain disk under /var/foo directory, with my_user & my_group as uid/gid ? [03:30] nickrud: you use the (old) bcm43xx drivers then? === jrhammer` is now known as jrhammer [03:30] wols eh? [03:30] i had pretty bad ones syncing [03:30] wols: yes [03:30] josh13: yes it is [03:30] Sinnerman: srry [03:30] Jordan_U: take a look at my pastebin: this is up to date: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57780/ === jrhammer is now known as puff [03:31] hi everybody [03:31] hi [03:31] nickrud: trying to use the acx patch for .24 right now. awful :) [03:31] Chewy: ping google.com [03:31] wols: heh. I'm lazy. If it works, I don't try the new stuff anymore. [03:31] can I just throw a shell script into my /etc/cron.daily and expect it to run daily? [03:31] hi. when I try to connect to my treo via bluetooth, the bluetooth applet crashes. Is there something else I shold be using? [03:32] billy, can you add the output of "ls /lib/firmware" to that? [03:32] nickrud: want WPA finally [03:32] wols i've looked at the man page..but cannot find what i'm lookin for .. any hints ? [03:32] yeah.. gimme a few mins tho.. [03:32] wols: ah. strange that, I'm using wpa2 no problem [03:32] how do i get a new xorg [03:33] amicrawler, xorg.conf or a new version of X.org the program? [03:33] Ok, I need some help getting a microphone working. Usually my mic Just Works. What, besides muting and not being plugged in, could be wrong? [03:33] well i got kde4 [03:33] and the res is not right [03:33] nickrud: old acx can't use it. the new new803211 can [03:33] amicrawler: is it 800x600? [03:33] xorg.conf [03:33] !xconfig | amicrawler [03:33] amicrawler: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [03:33] nope [03:33] !kde4 | amicrawler [03:33] amicrawler: KDE 4.0.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [03:34] amicrawler: we do not support kde4 here [03:34] amicrawler, But if it only happens in KDE4 it is probably not an xorg.conf problem [03:34] nobody has an idea? [03:34] Hello all. Here to help others again. n.n [03:34] yep it only happends in kde 4 [03:34] not 3 [03:34] hi, I was going through the 'Synce on Ubuntu' instructions, and was finally succesful at getting a connection to my pda, but then I noticed that my internet connection wasn't working I had to uninstall ppp to get it to work again. Does anyone know of a workaround? [03:34] wols: to be honest, not even sure what you're talking about :) I just chose wpa2, plugged in the number on the bottom of the wifi box, and it Works for Me™ [03:34] Which protocal does apt-get use? HTTP? FTP? [03:35] Ok yaro, take a shot, I need some help getting a microphone working. Usually my mic Just Works. What, besides muting and not being plugged in, could be wrong? [03:35] eccentricity: if it's not muting or not plugged in, all I can think of is that your sound card (or mic) has issues [03:35] nickrud: not all drivers support WPA [03:35] like my current one :( [03:35] tried multiple mics [03:35] wols: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1915:2234 rest are 0000:0000 [03:35] eccentricity: what card is it? [03:35] eccentricity: Have you tested from System -> Preferences -> Sounds? [03:35] how can i check to see if a USB wireless mouse I have is dead (like the receiver is messed up)? [03:35] sound card thing brings me to an interesting question [03:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57783/ [03:36] billy, can you add the output of "ls /lib/firmware" to that? [03:36] in GNOME? What's the command for that ap? [03:36] billy, :) [03:36] its all the way at the end [03:36] jordan_U [03:36] eccentricity: it's in the GNOME panel [03:36] wols: I've been incredibly lucky with my hardware over the years. The only thing that didn't just work was a sound card way back when. I bought a driver from oss. [03:36] I don't use GNOME [03:36] =) [03:36] ah [03:36] eccentricity: have you tried alsamixer? [03:36] to see if the mic is muted? [03:36] anyone know how to make my address bar use google's "I'm feeling lucky" again? [03:37] this thing has an onboard soundcard I'm not using. Where are the modules for that, I need to delete them [03:37] and yeah, I'm using alsamixer now [03:37] have you tried alsamixer /dev/dsp1? [03:37] eccentricity: if you know what modules they are, you can modprobe -r them and then remove them from /etc/modules [03:38] Anyone knows how to set surround sound with SigmaTel again? Or maybe without SigmaTel but any way to restore the surround sound again? [03:38] I could probably isolate which they are. Thanks, chris0 [03:38] eccentricity: no prob. [03:38] * eccentricity tries alsamiser /dev/dsp1 [03:38] I love ubuntu, thought i would blurt that out [03:39] Wrec: I'm not sure if that is an Ubuntu support question. [03:39] eccentricity: i have tweo cards on mine as well and I have to set them seperately like that as well [03:39] Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone? [03:39] billy, how did you get the firmware? [03:40] sneakernet [03:40] brb [03:40] doesn't seem to be happening. [03:40] :( [03:40] brb [03:40] eccentricity: i was hoping that would work. sorry it didnt [03:40] brb guys.. [03:40] CrimsonDork: are you using linux-restricted-modules-generic? [03:40] I had a problem installing msttcorefonts. Now, every time I try to remove it, for some reason it goes through the configuration process - connecting to kent.sourceforge.net and downloading all the font files. However, every time it does this, it freezes. What can I do? [03:41] Anyone know if there is any kind of desktop use thing for espeak? === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as CwoJKT_SKCE36B_ [03:41] deadowl: how do you mean? [03:41] is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)? [03:41] And no, I don't mean Orca, I just want to get my computer to read things out loud so i don't have to [03:41] Estesark: How specifically are you trying to remive the fonts? === yyeago is now known as subsume [03:41] deadowl: I see [03:41] I have a problem with the wireless connection working when I start Blackbox windowing manager. When I start gnome, it works fine. Any clues? === CwoJKT_SKCE36B_ is now known as CwoJKT_SKCE36B-u [03:42] AgentHex: Good question. I don't think so, but I can check. *kinda noob here* [03:42] yaro: I've tried two ways - through synaptic (which just freezes) and through dpkg --remove -a === CwoJKT_SKCE36B-u is now known as CR_cwek_Toket_Gd [03:42] tero-, network manager maybe. it's a gnome and kde thing [03:43] CrimsonDork: just search synaptic for that string. [03:43] billy, There are more firmware files, one of which is probably the one you need for your card, you can get them by installing the "bcm43xx-fwcutter" package, or I can give you a link to a zip file with all of them [03:43] xtknight: aha, it's network-admin? [03:43] deadowl: not sure. I guess not surprisingly, gedit | espeak doesn't work... [03:43] Estesark: have you tried --force? [03:43] Estesark: Have you tried sudo apt-get remove --purge msttcorefonts [03:43] problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30. wifi devices are not detected after reboot. second reboot fixes problem. any ideas? [03:43] yaro: Yes, killerbeesateme: No. [03:43] tero-, hmm nope network-manager [03:43] tero-, "nm-applet" is the applet for it. but network-manager is a library kinda.. [03:44] Estesark: Go ahead and try killerbeesateme's thing. [03:44] xtknight: thanks. I'll have a look [03:44] tero-, basically network-manager in some cases can compete with ifconfig/ifup and mess things up [03:44] I get "dpkg: --force option takes a value" === Freecast454450 is now known as iceman_ [03:44] tero-, nm-applet is the network icon in the system tray. use that always to configure network in gnome/kde [03:44] why doesn't ubuntu have a program that converts to ogg? [03:44] gnomeradio not work [03:44] chris0, it would be interesting if I could program a key binding that would send highlighted text to espeak in the same sense it is sent to a clipboard with cut/copy commands [03:44] AgentHex: Lemme try running it. [03:44] I am having a lot of issues, but they've only developed recently. [03:45] jastiv, Because it does? Or do you mean installed by default? [03:45] AgentHex: I have it already. === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_CrCE36B-up [03:45] deadowl: that sounds like it may be a bash project... [03:45] i am nt able to select d line [03:45] CrimsonDork: ok... hmmm... iono then. i'm a bit of a n00b, though i've been using ubuntu for a couple months straight. [03:45] xTheGoat121x: Could you be more specific? [03:45] audacity doesn't seem to have that ability even though the old version did. [03:45] AgentHex: Heh, thanks. I'll keep digging. [03:46] how do I install the multisync syncml plugin in gutsy? there's no gutsy package. The latest one is the edgy package which doesn't work in gusty [03:46] anybody know how to get zeroconf working....and know of any windows like skin/themes that i can use. or MAC like skins/themes that i can use? [03:46] Can anyone help with the driver install for a Belkin F5D7000 Wireless network card? [03:46] lets say i issue this command... **find . -name "jsf-api.jar"** but i want the size of each file to be also stated in the list.. how do i modify it [03:46] yaro: It's bizarre - I seem to have to configure the package before I can get rid of it [03:46] yaro, (1) every time I start the laptop, most of the stuff on the panels freezes... when I restart them, nm-applet never comes back [03:47] iceman_, There are many of both kinds of themes, but I personally think *NIX looks better when it's not trying to be something it's not :) [03:47] Estesark: i had the exact same problem about 6 months ago, and for the life of me, i can't remember what i did [03:47] amazing. my computer fails to boot if i install with the alt cd. [03:47] yaro, (2) I have system sounds, pidgin sounds, but no sounds in games or audacious. [03:47] Ububegin: cd / && ls -R | grep jsf-api.jar [03:47] Hmm... [03:47] Estesark: bear with me here, i'm trying to recreate my google steps [03:47] Ububegin: it'll take a whike tho.... [03:47] xtknight: hmm. nm-applet does not seem to work in Blackbox. is there another interface? [03:48] yaro, (3) and ntos_wq seems to be eating approx. 3-5% of my CPU... [03:48] killerbeesateme: I just tried sudo dpkg --purge -a, and it downloaded all the files succesfully [03:48] tero-, knetwork-manager maybe or something...i think there's a kde one [03:48] Jordan_U: what is the link for all the firmware files? [03:48] killerbeesateme: Perhaps there was a network problem [03:48] Ububegin: if you know that it's in your home directory, just say cd && ls -R etc. Etc. Etc. [03:48] Jordan_u, while i have to agree with u. i need it for ease of function and so i can get the other people in my house to use it by tricking them into thinking its still windows. [03:48] chris0, is it possible to create a key binding that takes some sort of buffer through GNOME? [03:48] jordan: and how do i install them with bcmfwcutter? [03:48] xTheGoat121x: (1) You'll probably have to delete your .gconf and .gconf2 folders and go back to a default GNOME configuration. I'm sure there are other ways, but they're difficult at best. [03:48] tero-, either way im not sure how your supposed to configure it under blackbox [03:48] killerbeesateme: So now I'm going to try removing it again [03:48] xTheGoat121x: (2) Are you using anything like, say, Pulse Audio? [03:48] What would be the best way to use CRON to send an email (from a postgres database) every day? have bash script dump mysql result into a text file, then read it...then....or....? [03:48] Estesark: i think i got it [03:49] am I the only person with terrible skipping in Flash? [03:49] iceman_, I don't recommend tricking people either, especially if it's not your computer [03:49] deadowl: I've been thinking about it. You'd need to copy/paste text to a temporary file, less it and then pipe it to espeak. I'm not sure how you'd do the copy/paste part tho.... [03:49] Estersark: i went thru with this with network manager, and what i did, was go into synaptic [03:49] billy, I will make it in just a second :) [03:49] yaro, (1) OK, I'll do what i can regarding that. (2) No, I use ALSA. And it worked until just yesterday. [03:49] i deleted my user account, i am using a backup account, how can i create a new account with the same name as the first? when I try it does nothing [03:50] chris0: i think u misunderstood me... I issue a find command now...and it returns the location of the files.. But I want the sizes of the files as well as the location [03:50] kk [03:50] xTheGoat121x: (3) I don't know what that is. D: [03:50] Estersark: then clicked the status button, and went into Not-Installed, residual package configuration [03:50] problem with wifi on reboot after installing device (usb, pcmcia) or hotswapping bay on ibm t30. wifi devices are not detected after reboot. second reboot fixes problem. ideas? [03:50] deadowl: the 1337 hax pwnag3 way to do it is to say espeak in gnome-terminal and then Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Shift-V it into the terminal [03:50] persian [03:50] tero-, ifup eth0 doesnt work in blackbox? [03:50] yaro, yeah, most I've talked to have no idea. [03:50] Hi grsync won't write to my vfat drive. As far as I know, it's not permissions, any ideas anyone? [03:50] and it's not on the forums. [03:50] xTheGoat121x: (2) Do you have a lot of things configured to use ESD or OSS? [03:51] normally i wouldn't either, jordan_u but considering all our other pc's with xp and/or mac broke down i have to get them to use this. people are scared of linux because everythingisn't handed to them in one easy package like macs/ or windows apps are [03:51] Estersark: and then find the package, and then mark it for complete removal [03:51] tero-, if networkmanager is not running on blackbox (it isnt) then ifup should interfere [03:51] should not * [03:51] chris0, yea, it would essentially be a script that runs espeak < src [03:51] chris0: u have any idea :? [03:51] yaro, not a thing, actually. [03:51] iran [03:51] persian talking [03:51] because of that people are like no. linux sucks when in fact it doesnt [03:51] Ububegin: oh my bad it would need to be ls -aRh. that would ls recursively and then display your jar file [03:51] xTheGoat121x: So they're all calling ALSA... or should be. [03:51] !compiz [03:51] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [03:51] killerbeesateme: It's not in that list, because like I said, last time I tried to --purge it, it succesfully configured [03:51] Is there google talk > in 8.04 or 7.10??/ [03:51] killerbeesateme: But now I can't remove or purge it - turns out that --purge actually just configured it [03:52] iran [03:52] j__: Pidgin does Google Talk. [03:52] I issue a find command now...and it returns the location of the files.. But I want the sizes of the files as well as the location [03:52] iran [03:52] iran [03:52] j__, you can use pidgin [03:52] xtknight: I tried it but it says ignoring unknown interface eth1 [03:52] Ububegin: so I'd do a cd && ls -aRh (add an l in there if you want) | grep name.of.jar.file.jar [03:52] yaro, yup. If I start, say, Audacious from terminal, I get a message about the device not being available. [03:52] yaro can i talk / speak with a speaker? [03:52] yaro mic ? [03:52] xtknight: I guess I should add a line to /etc/network/interfaces [03:52] xTheGoat121x: Sounds like something is using ALSA that shouldn't be. [03:53] xtknight: it's not going to break anything, right? [03:53] killerbeesateme: Take a look at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1949f532 [03:53] chris0: i dunt wanna seach inside the jar files... lets say its just a text file then.. [03:53] yaro, ugh. That's what I was hoping you wouldn't say. [03:53] are there any mobile devices that you can install ubuntu on? like a palm [03:53] billy, Grrr, the file size limit was changed on google pages [03:54] tero-, hmm i dont think so [03:54] crap.. [03:54] what can i do [03:54] j__: I think so. [03:54] Ububegin: gimme a sec...I'm looking....I thought -r did a recursive search. I'll get back to you in a sec. [03:54] yaro how i set it up [03:54] billy, Do you have another computer? [03:54] is it possible to use suspend2 to instead of the default suspend/hibernate functionality without using a custom kernel (e.g. as a module)? [03:54] tero-, gonna put static ip config in there or something? [03:54] this is another computer [03:54] Estesark: Did you try the steps from above? [03:54] chris0, yea, X apparently runs the selection buffer, i think [03:54] xTheGoat121x: Try to find what else uses ALSA on your system and kill it before using the "offending" applications. [03:55] billy, Actually, there is another way... [03:55] killerbeesateme: It wasn't in that list, because it succesfully configured in the end [03:55] yaro, I will do what I can. [03:55] how? [03:55] killerbeesateme: I just can't uninstall it now [03:55] anyone know of a good open source CAD program for linux? [03:55] j__: Not sure. Refer to the documentation, if there are voice features, chances are they are mentioned thete. [03:55] billy, Go into restricted manager, it should give you a URL to download a file from which the firmware can be extracted [03:55] xtknight: maybe just a definition of the interface, that it exists [03:55] Estesark: so where is it freezing up again? sorry i cleared my scroll log [03:56] killerbeesateme: It's not freezing any more, it just won't uninstall [03:56] deadowl: yeah, that's a little beyond my programming ability..... [03:56] It's exiting with an error [03:56] !beryl [03:56] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged.

[03:57] Ububegin: 1?10?100?1000? etc [03:57] tero-, sure it's called eth1 ?

That'll teach me to flirt with Microsoft. [04:00] Ububegin: here's what I'd use: ls -Rlh | grep -B 20 . if it doesn't show the full path, change 20 to some bigger number. That should show you both the filename, the size, and the path to the file [04:00] !netsplit [04:00] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[04:03] the other is running ubuntu this ones on windows [04:03] both inspiron 1501 laptops [04:04] billy, How desperate are you ? :) [04:04] what application does GNOME Ubuntu use as a clipboard [04:04] ? [04:04] gnome-clip? [04:04] very... [04:05] billy, Actually, did restricted manager give a URL before you grabbed the one you have now in /lib/firmware? [04:05] nope [04:05] never gave a url [04:05] beep [04:05] does anybody know if there is a fluxbuntu for ppc [04:06] billy, You could run the Ubuntu LiveCD in a virtual machine, install bcm43xx-fwcutter on that then save the firmware [04:06] xtknight: pretty sure. eth0 is the wired ethernet interface, eth1 is the wireless one [04:06] how do i run a virtual machine? [04:06] tero-, any luck then in blackbox? [04:07] billy, Or if you know of a place I can host a 10.6 meg file? [04:07] tero-, eth1 simply does not appear in "ifconfig -a"? [04:07] email it to me? [04:07] jordan_u [04:07] wbreslin951@gmail.com [04:07] yousendit.com for big email attachments also [04:08] !fluxbuntu [04:09] xtknight: it's there in the listing of ifconfig but ifup eth1 does not do anything. I'll try to add it in interfaces-file now [04:10] why does screens and graphics crash when i open it? === alan is now known as speeddemon8803 [04:10] it happend after i isntalled the updates [04:10] aghachi, hmm don't know...but filing a bug may be a good idea [04:10] lol im a n00b ubuntu user how do i do that [04:11] !launchpad | aghachi, well you can file bugs here [04:11] http://launchpad.net/ [04:11] rather ^ [04:11] ok [04:11] then what [04:11] click bugs [04:11] Is there any way to get a custom application launcher to run xsel --clipboard | espeak? [04:11] aghachi, click bugs ya [04:12] aghachi, then report a bug [04:12] how can i find the MAC address of a wireless network in Ubuntu? [04:13] join #django [04:13] xtknight: okay, that worked. now it works. I just wondered if there was a fancier way to do it in Blackbox [04:13] tero-, what did u do [04:13] billy, grr, now gmail is being slow [04:13] join #django [04:13] aghachi, and after you report the bug, people will contact you on the bug's page about reproducing the problem or fixing it [04:14] mrpockets-> ap? sudo ip a for your nic, iwconfig [04:14] xtknight: I added line "iface eth1 inet dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces [04:14] tero-, ah, interesting. [04:14] hmm [04:14] So I have serveral files that apparently had their timestamp written as "1961-11-25 17:31." Anyone have ideas on what caused that? and how it's doing dates before 1970? [04:15] xtknight: and then I setup the wireless adapter with iwconfig [04:15] tero-, ah well blackbox is too obscure to have a network UI i guess. im not sure if filing a bug for that would do any good altho im surprised eth1 wasnt there by default. might be a bug higher in the food chain.. [04:17] Ok, so i'm ready now to reinstall feisty on the older box that is incapable of running Gutsy at all, but I want to have the system see the two hd's as one. How do I do this? [04:17] is there way to get a gnome custom application launcher to read one commands output as another's input? [04:18] deadowl what are you trying to ultimately do? [04:18] deadowl, i dont quite understand what u mean [04:18] xtknight: yeah I guess that those who wish to use Blackbox should be able to tackle with something as simple as configuring a network interface [04:18] tero-, hehe [04:18] soreau, I'm trying to essentially do xsel --clipboard | espeak from the panel [04:19] xtknight: it's just that the window manager (compiz, I guess) is too heavy for my poor little laptop with 512 megs of ram [04:19] ok, i have orphaned some files, the account that owned them got deleted. how can i fix? [04:19] deadowl, and u cant craete a launcher for that? [04:19] deadowl, try sh -c "xsel --clipboard | espeak" or something [04:19] i wants to be on bash.org! [04:19] not usre [04:19] famous quote here! [04:19] not sure [04:19] deadowl: hmm .. I wouldn't know, just wait a sec and perhaps someone else can help you here [04:19] do i just state the bug on that site? [04:19] deadowl: Make a script [04:19] THANK YOU xtknight [04:19] tero-, oh yeah? well gnome's WM is metacity. you can disable compiz [04:19] now I can do something really cool [04:20] deadowl, it's cuz sh is a single cmd. i guess launcher doesnt support pipes or sometihng [04:20] Hi guys. Ok, so i'm ready now to reinstall feisty on the older box that is incapable of running Gutsy at all, but I want to have the system see the two hd's as one. How do I do this? [04:20] guess so, I'm no expert with this kind of thing. [04:20] hmm when i uninstalled the unlocked graphics the screnn worked [04:21] soreau, grab the alternate cd and utilize RAID/LVM [04:21] soreau: why is it unable to run it? [04:21] run gutsy that is [04:21] LVM [04:21] ya there really shouldnt be any regressions [04:21] xtknight: How would I do this? The live cd is sitting here loaded right now [04:22] wols: idk [04:22] soreau, you need the alternate cd for raid/lvm installation [04:22] Alt cd [04:22] Ok [04:22] soreau, what does gutsy do when u try to run it [04:22] I guess the one I have just wont do it [04:22] soreau, nope [04:22] billy, got it? [04:22] Hey all, I jus order this motherboard: http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D5400XS/index.htm -- anyone else use it? [04:22] soreau: then your statement is simply worthless [04:22] xtknight: aa that might do the trick. is there a menu for that or would removing compiz-package just do the trick? [04:22] !anyone | fus10nx [04:22] fus10nx: 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? [04:23] xtknight: It freezes with a blinking cursor after loading the kernel and pci probe devices iirc [04:23] tero-, system preferences appearances desktop effects->no effects [04:23] wols: that was my real question :) [04:23] jordan_u lemme check [04:23] fus10nx: that is a BS question [04:23] soreau, ahh..have you filed a bug for this? [04:23] wols you're worthless :) [04:23] and it was NOT your real question [04:23] ya i wanna know if anyone has it [04:23] soreau: don't do an ad hominem please [04:23] in here [04:23] xtknight: No, this is a resurrected dinosaur computer lol [04:23] fus10nx: no one does. you can't buy it yet last I chcked [04:23] xtknight: thanks. I'm from the command line generation, completely lost with the menus [04:24] jordan_u not yet [04:24] wols: ya, its on sale. [04:24] tero-, oh. ya i wonderd. u seemed pretty well versed [04:24] i jus ordered it [04:24] hi [04:24] soreau, oh well..but feisty works right? but gutsy doesn't... so that's a regression...bug filing material! heh [04:24] who is from Singgapore here [04:24] soreau, you dont have to but it would be nice [04:24] Singapore [04:24] * jscinoz is away: I'm busy [04:24] xtknight: Seems gutsy isn't as great as I would think it should be since it is newer release [04:24] hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client? [04:25] http://www.provantage.com/intel-boxd5400xs~7ITEM0F4.htm [04:25] thats where i got it from [04:25] xtknight: Even here on this pc where it does work [04:25] soreau, well ya sometimes it's better in some ways worse than others [04:25] worse in others [04:25] * jscinoz is back (gone 00:00:52) [04:25] im trying to build the highest end system possible [04:25] who is from Singapore here [04:25] super super fast [04:25] xtknight: I usually don't file bug reports, I just wait for the issue to hopefully work itself out in the future [04:26] soreau, lol [04:26] my brother got a macpro... 2 quadcore xeon processors [04:26] The *buntu devs are usually pretty good about this [04:26] Jordan_U: i wont give out ur email lol [04:26] xtknight: Ok, lemme start an alt dl [04:26] fus10nx, so what's your question [04:26] fus10nx, will 8core work on ubuntu? yes , kernel has SMP suppotr [04:26] xtknight: if anyone else here had it and how it runs in ubuntu [04:26] fus10nx: IBM had this one computer.. deep blue I believe it was called ;) [04:26] hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client? [04:26] blue gene [04:26] NickGarvey: ha ha [04:26] or somethin [04:26] hello,who is from Singapore here [04:27] well fastest consumer [04:27] i wish this board had DDR3 [04:27] but ill deal with FBDIMM [04:27] DDR2 [04:27] fbdimm isnt going to be faster though [04:27] its for reliability isnt it? [04:27] might even be slower than ddr2 800 i dunno === jms1989_ is now known as jms1989__ [04:27] jordan_u: what do i do with those files? [04:28] and does Ubuntu support SLI? [04:28] fus10nx, yes through nvidia binary drivers [04:28] billy, extract them to /lib/firmware [04:28] thanks [04:28] * fus10nx is new to Ubuntu [04:28] hey how do i make thunderbird my default mail client? it keeps trying to make me use evolution [04:28] fus10nx, my main concern would be with the new intel 5400 chipset but kernel is usually fast about adding support [04:28] so thanks for the help [04:28] kk [04:28] fus10nx, the new ubuntu release Hardy might support it out of the box [04:28] xtknight: hopefully HH has support [04:28] i dunno if Gutsy would [04:28] yea [04:28] ya [04:29] well HH is next month, right? [04:29] april [04:29] !hardy [04:29] 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 [04:29] Hi [04:29] awww ok [04:29] hey guys has somebody tried skype 2 beta version ... it seems like i can't choose my avater ... isn't it?THANKS [04:29] @lart credible c ya! [04:29] nope [04:29] jordan_u: do you know where outlook express saves its files? [04:30] Does anyone get some information about dccprobe problem ? edidfail, i can reproduce this bug, actualy it happends when you update from feisty to gutsy. If anyone have a workaround/fix, it would be appreceated ! [04:30] outlook express saves email in Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities i think [04:30] or something like that [04:30] from what I remember the 6400 chipset has been available a while. so the kernel might already have support [04:30] it's a bog standard server chipset [04:30] they're .dbx files [04:30] billy, It's all one monolithic file, can't you just get to it from the outlook UI? [04:31] The result of this bug is i can't use my DVI output with the native resolution for the screen [04:31] Dinde, i dont know i havent had the problem [04:31] Anyone knows how to set two different screens using a Nvidia 8400 chipset? [04:31] Jordan_U i think its corrupted.. [04:31] Dinde: handedit the xorg.conf [04:31] billy, Try getting it through the web interface [04:31] CrimsonDork, dual monitor? is 8400 chipset a dual head [04:32] in ubuntu? you sent it to my windows computer.. the ubuntu one isnt on the net [04:32] Tried to do that but it's a plasma display through a DVI -> HDMI adaptator, it worked fine on feisty. I can't get the good Modeline for this screen ... [04:32] Dinde, ahh hmm. [04:32] edidfail [04:32] Dinde, did you install drivers for your video card [04:32] yes i did, fglrx [04:33] suggest me please where information about system language(imean language pack) are stored? [04:33] xtknight: Dual monitor, yes. Dual veiw, not just duplicate. And on Windows it would let me have both but that inside the Nvidia settings, here I don't seem to find this option. [04:33] I've seen on launchpad that i'm not the only one with this bug, no workaround on the board. [04:33] Dinde, so modeline generation thru "gtf 1366 768 60" does not work, or w/e the native res of your plasma is.. [04:33] CrimsonDork, do u have nvidia proprietary restricted drivers installed [04:34] I just want to change this information in my customized livecd [04:34] I tried also, when i supply the information from my manual, and compare, there is some big difference, and display become a real mess [04:34] Dinde, have you tried using a Modeline, though? [04:34] xtknight: I think I do, I can see the settings and make miracles with the main screen, but when I try to set a secondary screen it doesn't let me. [04:34] CrimsonDork, type "gksu nvidia-settings" [04:34] Yes [04:34] any one can help me? [04:35] jordan_U how do i extract it to lib/firmware? [04:35] or see me)? [04:35] Dinde, how about UseEDID false or whatever ATI driver's ignore EDID command is [04:35] !ask|gorbierd [04:35] gorbierd: 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. :-) [04:35] i did it also :( [04:35] Dinde, hmm maybe it's a fglrx bug? [04:35] Bug#94994 [04:35] Dinde, what launchpad [04:35] ok [04:35] ok) [04:35] Does anybody know of a good website for Linux Admin training? [04:35] Dinde, well HDMI might possibly be a problem i dont know [04:35] xtknight: Kk. That is the same windows I saw earlier. [04:36] jordan_u? [04:36] billy, Save it to the desktop then "cd ~/Desktop && unzip firmware.zip && sudo cp firmware/* /lib/firmware" [04:36] CrimsonDork, and you can't summon the second display using that control panel [04:36] CrimsonDork, ? [04:37] CrimsonDork, it will appear as disabled to begin with or something. press Detect Displays [04:37] xtknight: the point is, it was working 1 hour ago before my update to feisty :| [04:37] Dinde, oh really [04:37] As reported at launchpad website ;) [04:37] what about the generic folders? [04:38] hey, what can i use to sync my smartphone on ubuntu? [04:38] i'm getting some weird stuff happening. Every time I get to a GUI boot my window decorations are gone and I have to type "metacity --replace" in a terminal and leave the terminal open for them to stay [04:38] xtknight: Set it as Separate X screen? [04:38] CrimsonDork, depends [04:38] CrimsonDork, do u want span or dualview [04:38] billy, It's not necessary for the firmware to be in each of them as long as it's in the root [04:38] How would I find out what's in my pc card bus? [04:38] where can i enabled phisics in kiba-dock settings? [04:38] it also takes networkmanager about 5 minutes to load after I see the GUI [04:38] xtknight: Dual. [04:39] jordan u do i extract those files as well tho? [04:39] CrimsonDork, separate X screen makes them two different GNOMEs [04:39] xtknight: Right on. The other is just big. K. [04:39] CrimsonDork, otherwise you want twinview.. well twinview is like span mode. but maximizing one window will only use one screen [04:39] billy, Sorry, didn't mean to include those [04:39] any ideas how to fix this? [04:39] anyway, thanks for your concerne ktknight. Gonna install gentoo. [04:39] -e [04:39] k so there not important? now i just restart right? [04:40] Dinde, alrighty then [04:40] where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings? [04:40] billy, instead, to unzip all of them but only copy the firmware "cd ~/Desktop && unzip firmware.zip && sudo cp firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware" [04:40] so how do i undo what i already did? [04:41] How would I find out what's in my pc card bus? [04:41] did a security update to thunderbird just come out? I just apt-get upgraded to it but its taking forever to dl [04:41] brad01: lspci? [04:42] Jordan_U: anything else after restart? [04:42] xtknight: Now it doesn't even detect the second screen. [04:43] StarnesStommy, It says I have a cardbus bridge but It says nothing about the card in it [04:43] billy, Nope, hopefully it will "just work™" [04:43] CrimsonDork, interesting [04:44] should i blacklist any old drivers? [04:44] CrimsonDork, well when you can get it to detect everything, press Save to X config. [04:45] I'm trying to install Ubuntu with Software RAID1, I have two 300GB drives, I configured everything in the partitioner and told it to write it to disk, but now no matter which option I pick from the main menu it just dumps me right back in the partitioner! Is that Ubuntu's way of telling me something isn't right? [04:45] let's try hardy before reinstalling whole os :x [04:45] Dinde, you do realize hardy is still in testing stages right? [04:46] billy, I feel like an idiot now, if I hadn't included the other firmware files for every device for multiple kernel versions it would have been much smaller and uploadable [04:46] I want to get my network card working [04:46] of course i am ... [04:46] !hardy | Dinde [04:46] Dinde: 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 [04:46] lol its cool.. still not working tho.. gonna try one more thing.. whats the command to reload all the drivers? [04:46] This box is a media center, i don't need a lot of stuff [04:47] just X a window manager and my media center ... [04:47] billy, you should just need to "sudo rmmod bcm43xx && sudo modprobe bcm43xx" [04:47] hi guy, how do i search for the available source packages? "aptitude search" doesn't seem to list them, but deb-src is in the sources file [04:48] then restart? jordan u? [04:49] xtknight: Hmm. [04:49] CrimsonDork, so any luck [04:49] ? [04:50] Jordan_U [04:50] billy, That should prevent the need to restart, if restarting didn't work that probably won't either ( but it might be nice to see if it gives any errors ) [04:50] xtknight: Says it's supposed to work, but the screen simply doesn't turn on or shows anything. [04:50] How do I get a cardbus network card to work in ubuntu? [04:51] Jordan_U: its still not working... [04:52] wanted rocketdock for ubuntu [04:52] xtknight: When I do apply, it displays some reason why it might not set it. [04:52] CrimsonDork, ya [04:53] CrimsonDork, u have to use Save to X Config [04:53] How do I get a cardbus network card to work in ubuntu? [04:53] CrimsonDork, apply is a misnomera bit [04:53] misnomer [04:53] hi there. i've installed ubuntu on 4 machines, but i have a question. i'm about to install it on a toshiba laptop. the hdd has four partitions. "TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME", the partition with vista on it, a small 3 gig partition and a hard drive recovery partition. An hdd is only allowed 4 partitions, right? how should I approach this? [04:53] xtknight: Same thing, Save X it and nothing happens. [04:53] CrimsonDork, u have to pres ctrl alt backspace to restart X server.. [04:53] CrimsonDork, logout otherwords [04:54] xtknight: K, lemme check. [04:55] helpppp jordan_u [04:56] hey i have a strange issue... i isntalled ubuntu and now i dont have access to some partitions since they are owned by the root account [04:56] Jordan_U? [04:57] When configuring software RAID... how many HD should I create? [04:57] Jl, you normally dont access them. give yourself su if you wish to [04:57] When configuring software RAID... how many HD (* correction MD) should I create? [04:57] szx0, well in any case make sure your /boot partition is not a raid partition [04:57] billy, I don't know :( I am curious why you were never offered the standard options for broadcom cards from restricted manager though [04:57] szx0, an MD is just a partition [04:57] Jordan_U: yeah.. i dunno.. [04:57] 7.10 [04:58] xtknight, right but how many do I need to make? [04:58] where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings? === jms1989 is now known as jms1989__ [04:58] szx0, well probably one for / and one for /home at maximum [04:58] i hope a restart will fix this s*** [04:58] threefingerpete - not my system partitions or anything. a separate empty partition where i want to save my larger files. only data on it is a folder called "lost and found" (whats that btw?) and i cant access it [04:58] brb [04:58] szx0, you really only need a / [04:58] szx0, but i guess you can use RAID for swap.. i dont know if that's a good idea [04:58] hi [04:58] JlL that should be your garbage can [04:59] xtknight, so I need to make a MD for every partition that I want for the RAID setup ? [04:59] Jl: that should be your garbage [04:59] szx0, correct [04:59] xtknight, ok [04:59] whats the command to change the permissions so i can access that folder? [04:59] szx0, for example md0 can be a partition spanning hd1+hd2 [05:00] xtknight: i didnt know a partition could span two drives [05:00] billy, This is a PCI card, right? [05:00] ThreeFingerPete, yup in a raid config [05:00] xtknight, let me try this now [05:00] or lvm also [05:00] logical volumes [05:00] How can I create an Xserver Window with a program running in it? [05:01] is it possible to reconstruct a raid setup without having the raidtab file? [05:01] lost+found is a directory for recovered chunks from file system checks...i think [05:01] jetsaredim, yup [05:01] jetsaredim, just add the drives to a device with mdadm [05:01] threefingerpete - how can i edit the partition so i can use it without problems? [05:01] xtknight, so I should make another /boot on both Hard Disks, make it bootable but also don't make a MD for it ? [05:01] How do I get a cardbus networking card to work in ubuntu? [05:01] xtknight: do you know where I'd be able to find some docs on that? [05:01] szx0, make only one /boot partition on one hard disk [05:01] whenever I try to use printer, it never prints a page. How do I get printer to work in Ubuntu? [05:01] jetsaredim, i wish i could tell ya.. [05:01] jetsaredim, i dont remember exactly the cmd === jms1989__ is now known as jms1989_ [05:02] jetsaredim, but i do know you need to update your kernel intird afterwards. sudo update-initramfs i belive...that will at least save you some frustration [05:02] jetsaredim, after you do mdadm create on the two hard disks [05:02] !printer [05:02] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:02] How do I make an embedded Xserver? [05:03] xtknight: I'm not using it as a boot device - and I think that when you install mdadm it runs mkinitramfs [05:03] Jl: i am not sure. I am still a little new myself [05:03] How would I install a .ttf font? [05:03] jetsaredim, not after you add a device to raidtab it doesnt automatically [05:03] How do I make an embedded Xserver? [05:03] jetsaredim, i had that trouble [05:03] threefingerpete - ah ok thanks anyway ^_^ [05:03] jetsaredim, i think you mdadm create and then the two partitions, then /dev/md0 or the MDx device... i just dont remember the exact syntax [05:04] How do I make an embedded Xserver? [05:04] Does anyone know? [05:04] Some_Person, Xepher [05:04] its just kinda strange i didnt have this the first time i installd ubuntu. now im having this issue and I dont know why. root is the only one allowed to edit the partitions and i cant login with root, so i have to do sudo every 5 mins [05:04] Jl: if you change your name to more than three letters, people can press tab to auto complete it, and it will show up in color when they respond to you. if you are using xchat anyway [05:05] Jordan_U: Where do I get this "Xepher"? [05:05] j1 - ill do that ^_^ [05:05] my sound is distorted playing flash videos [05:05] i've tried reinstalling flash [05:05] can anyone help? [05:06] Some_Person, Sorry, xephyr [05:06] seems like it might be a bug in flash, 'cause my firefox is using a slightly different version, and it's fine [05:06] Jordan_U: thank you [05:06] tanath - to isntall flash go to applications: add/remove and search for "ubuntu restricted" [05:07] tanath - you will find "ubuntu restricted extras". it comes with mp3, dvd, java, flash and some other stuff [05:07] J1, um, i know that. i have it [05:08] I've got a question about dd. What is the difference in the output fil when I use the operand: bs=1024k [05:08] tanath - and its not working? [05:08] J1, i said the sound is distorted [05:08] Howdy all [05:08] Does anyone know how to install fonts? [05:08] tanath - ah ok i didnt get that part [05:08] hi [05:08] tanath, flash was the one thing that didn't work for me out of the box ... I ended up installing from the tar.gz file from the Adobe site [05:08] J1, i've tried reinstalling [05:08] I have an HP dv2500 with Intel Wireless WifiLink 4965 AGN wireless card, somehow the wireless interface is not showing up after I have restarted the system, the wireless modules are loaded as indicated by lsmod, they are "iwl4965" [05:09] hi, for some reason, my network wireless card can see the available wireless networks, but i can't connect -- i adjust the settings properly.. and then dhclient just goes 255.255.255.255 repeatedly and says no leases persistent.. sleeping.. any help??? [05:09] i have tried doing modeprobe -r iwl4965 and then doing modeprobe iwl4965 again [05:09] !font | r00723r0 [05:09] r00723r0: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

I dont like user@computer [05:09] tanath - my mozilla was kinda slow and laggy with flash first time i installed, somehow it fixed after i reinstalled... so no idea [05:09] That's your computers name [05:09] anybody know if there's anywhere I can download nicer voices for espeak? [05:09] crackhead100, do you know if you card associates with an access point? you can check this using iwconfig [05:10] i know it has to do with the bashrc file but Im not sure beyond that [05:10] deadowl, I doubt any exist :( [05:10] nixbox, it's associated with the right access point.. [05:10] xtknight: I was able to use mdadm --assemble to get the setup back [05:10] or seems to be.. [05:10] jetsaredim, ahh ya assemble [05:10] jetsaredim, good to know [05:10] Does anyone know how to set up a network card via cardbus on linux? [05:11] crackhead100, is that access point under your control? Do you know it is running DHCP ? [05:11] where can i enable phisics feature in kiba-dock settings? [05:11] power788, you need to set the PS1 variable - you can see the options in "man bash" [05:11] xtknight: do i need to re-create the raidtab? [05:11] i accidently deleted my etc/modules file ... any idea how i can rebuild it? [05:11] nixbox: it's a d-link wireless router, very simple, and yes, i think it uses dhcp.. dont know why it wouldnt.. it's connected fine before to othe rlaptops runnign windows and whatever else.. [05:11] jetsaredim, not sure. i thought assemble did that automatically [05:11] googlingtingwana: thank you very much [05:11] xtknight, I'm trying to install setup RAID1, I have two 300GB drives, I configured everything in the partitioner like u described...and told it to write it to disk, but now no matter which option I pick from the main menu it just dumps me right back in the partitioner! Is that Ubuntu's way of telling me something isn't right? [05:11] jetsaredim, do update initramfs after assemble i think? i dont know [05:12] jetsaredim, i think initramfs needs something in raidtab [05:12] szx0, did you mount a partition as / [05:12] which wireless security mode does the wireless router use? [05:12] szx0, and /boot and swap [05:12] crackhead100, see above... [05:13] nixbox: see what above? [05:13] why cant i mount/unmount partitions since i reinstalld ubuntu? [05:13] JJ1, need sudo? [05:13] jetsaredim, I've recently setup raid-1 using mdadm, but there was no raidtab file - I thought that was for an "older" tool [05:13] <__mikem> How long does it take to change the size of an NTFS partition from 110 GB to 100 GB? [05:13] nixbox: it's a dlink wireless router, veyr simple.. other comps running windows and ubuntu have connected fine to it, using dhcp.. [05:13] __mikem: It could take awhile [05:13] googlingtingwana: I'm just rebooting now to see if it comes back up [05:14] __mikem: depends on the contents and the free space u have [05:14] xtknight - yeah, since i reinstalled root is the owner and I have only read access [05:14] xtknight, well when i goto partion the disks it is asking me what I am going use the partition as... so i change it from ext3 to "physical volume for raid"... but once that option is chosen the mount point (i.e., "/") is gone and I have no where to define that now [05:14] my sound is distorted playing flash videos. i've tried reinstalling it. can anyone help? [05:14] xtknight - and i dunno how to change it [05:14] crackhead100, oh I mean, which security mode does the wireless router use? WPA, WEP etc? [05:14] tanath, maybe alsa needs a rule for flash, or something, i dont know. im thinking different Hz .. 44000hz vs 22000 or something causing distortion? [05:14] it's using wpa 40 bit or something right now.. 0000000000.. a form of that [05:15] do you have wpasupplicant? [05:15] szx0, ok well that's fine. you should designate two partitions as phys vol for RAID [05:15] szx0, then you use the RAID partitioner that appears at the top. [05:15] szx0, the raid partition has u create an MD device. this md device's mountpoint can be set [05:16] xtknight, sounds like a possibility. sounds like what i imagine that might sound like [05:16] nixbox: you get that? [05:16] xtknight, i seem to have two versions of flash though. my firefox install is pointing to a different revision number and it works fine [05:16] xtknight, ahh yes yes I see now!! [05:16] nixbox: i can't change the encryption or anyting.. [05:17] is it safe to delete the recovery partitions for vista after i make disks, so that i can install ubuntu? [05:17] nixbox: others are using it set as is.. [05:17] crackhead100, how have you specified the security key using ubuntu? [05:17] tanath, what do you mean... [05:17] tanath, which one doesnt work ? [05:18] well, i was using wireless assistant.. but it doesn't work.. i try iwconfig and it sets fine.. but then i try to get a lease from the router and get a connection, and it doesnt.. just 255.255.255.255 during dhcpdiscover or whatever.. and then no leases.. sleeping.. [05:18] nixbox: [05:18] xtknight, the one firefox points to works fine. the installed one from ubuntu, which is used by epiphany doesn't [05:18] tanath, ahh i see [05:18] xtknight, i generally use epiphany though [05:18] tanath, well i say just upgrade them both [05:18] tanath, epiphany uses mozilla plugin architecture does it not [05:18] crackhead100: have you tried manually setting the IP info? [05:18] xtknight, it's the latest version [05:18] xtknight, the firefox one is slightly older, but works [05:18] Hey guys what can I use to increase the hard drive space since I only allowed 10 gig for the installation of ubuntu. Is there anything that I can repartition my drive? [05:18] tanath, ah well i hate to say it but u could use the older one for epiphany also. are they both flash 9 a? [05:18] flash 9* [05:18] xtknight, firefox is a dependency of it... [05:19] xtknight, both flash 9... [05:19] prettyricky: qtparted, or gparted [05:19] crackhead100, how have you specified the security key using ubuntu? [05:19] any of those work? [05:19] tanath, weird. how did you end up with two revisions [05:19] where do I get them at? [05:19] prettyricky: if there's space at the end of the partition, you can boot a live cd, and use gparted to grow the fs [05:19] xtknight, y'know, i'm not even sure why firefox is using an older version, or where it is, lol [05:19] nixbox: what do you mean? i set it in the iwconfig and then also i tried it in the wirelessassistant program.. [05:19] xtknight, dunno. i obviously installed it a while ago and forgot [05:19] tanath, heh im thinking maybe u downloaded a flash from adobe..but then wouldnt that be newer [05:19] prettyricky: apt-get install, or through synaptic [05:20] is it user friendly? [05:20] hello [05:20] xtknight, i'd like to know why it doesn't work as it should though. epiphany and the flash it's using are both from the repos [05:20] prettyricky: depends on the user === RawnPaw is now known as JoseGosdin [05:20] tanath, yeah i dont know honestly [05:21] xtknight, er, well, it's the nonfree flash, so it downloads it, but still came from the repo package [05:21] is there a driver for Ubuntu for the NVidia 8600 GT? [05:21] tanath, all i can think of is asound.conf (alsa configuration) needs something for flash [05:21] ZAHUYARENSHENPIZDROCHERESPLECHOYEBANISCHENKO [05:21] lol [05:21] tanath, mine worked out of box though [05:21] xtknight, yeah, i know nothing about that [05:21] I've got a question about dd. If I make a "dd if=input of=output_file" and "dd if=input of=output_file bs=1024k"... will the output file will be the same or it will be affected by the "bs" operand? [05:21] xtknight, well then mine should too... only it doesn't [05:21] thanks guys! [05:21] Varanger: same file, 2nd command will be quicker is all [05:22] what's default bs === JoseGosdin is now known as josegosdin_ [05:22] 1 byte? [05:22] 4k? [05:22] i think that's bs [05:22] :) [05:22] xtknight: According man, the default is 512 [05:22] nixbox: hello? what do you mean?? [05:22] rug----> which one do you prefer? qtparted or gparted? [05:23] is there a driver for Ubuntu for the NVidia 8600 GT? [05:23] Hi !

[05:34] nixor: if you ship it to me I'll experiment [05:35] when i try to install the drivers [05:35] they askme for configure the xconfig [05:35] googlingtingwana: no there is not === mrking is now known as whoami [05:35] and when try to install i get an error [05:35] hello [05:36] anyone? would ip6v cause problems with my wireless? its bcm4311 so im sure it would.. [05:36] anyone can help me out with a external cdrom ? [05:36] maybe I should clear it from my interface.conf and retry the vui [05:37] jamesrdorn, hmm - yes, I was going to suggest deleting and re-adding [05:37] billy: bcm4311 will cause problems with your wireless. maybe ip6v too. [05:38] automat.. i had it working before... then it stopped.. ive done everything that i did to make it work and its still not working.. === whoami is now known as icesword [05:38] griffi1: that sounds like a hardware question--could you be more precise please? [05:39] so whenver I suspend or hibernate I have to shut the laptop off to get back into the OS because it doesn't wake up when I do something [05:39] billy: i went with ndiswrapper and windows drivers on gutsy. what version are you running? [05:39] gutsy [05:39] ndiswrapper didn't work [05:39] unless i used it wrong [05:39] how'd you do it? [05:39] spinman suspend and hibernate have long been serious problems for linux on laptops--there are numerous bugs on launchpad about it [05:40] automat? [05:40] yeah, suspend has gone past frustrating to ridiculous [05:40] bazhang: yep, the hardware is Welland 5.25 external cd drive, it is recognized when I plug it ( ID 067b:3507 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL3507 ATAPI6 Bridge) but I can't mount it [05:40] hardy drops the bcm* module in favor of b43 and b43legacy. i've had better luck with them. on gutsy, i had to download the working win driver from my win partition---it came with the thinkpad i'm using. [05:40] so is there anything I can do to get it working right? [05:40] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ spinman you can add ideas you have about improving ubuntu here [05:41] how come when i boot the live cd the gnome menus do not expand all the way [05:42] spinman you can check the bugs at launchpad and see what ubuntuforums has to say but it is a case by case thing if it works or not--never been able to get it working myself [05:42] Why is it that I cant find gparted after I installed it?? Where does it go [05:42] billy: I haven't really looked into it, but see if there's a way to force the b43legacy driver in gutsy. get rid of bcm43xx [05:42] I ve got: device not accepting address 7, error -71 AND reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 as errors few time AND FINALLY : scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [05:42] prettyricky: system > administration > partition editor [05:43] i've a new question: when I installed mysql-server he didn't ask me for set up my password, anybody know why ? [05:43] walla@! Thanks! [05:43] billy: if you think you have the right windows *.inf file, try blacklisting bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist after you install ndiswrapper. [05:43] thanks bhazang [05:43] bazhang* [05:43] sorry not to be more helpful spinman [05:44] billy: then go through the normal ndiswrapper config. [05:45] it's not your fault bazhang, I've read most of ubuntu-forums after an exhausting google search [05:45] xtknight: here's the compilation error with vmware: http://ham.space.umn.edu/~kkersten/vmware.error [05:45] spinman just out of curiousity what make and model of laptop [05:46] lenovo t60p [05:46] brb. smoke.

[05:55] xtknight: i've heard of the vmware-any-any patch, but i'm hesitant. i get the same error trying to compile the cisco vpn client. i suppose i could dig into the patch and see how vmware fixes it. might shed some light on the cisco client. [05:55] Bidou, just "apt-get purge mysql-server" should do it [05:55] for some reason sudo chown will not change anything, can anyone help me, uh, change that? [05:55] thanks bazhang [05:56] automat, i dont know why it's not working for you. you use a ubuntu kernel right? [05:56] spinman no worries hope you get it working [05:56] automat, probably older verison of vmware that doesnt support the kernel. i dont see a relation between the cisco vpn and vmware failures though [05:56] automat, the vmware-any-any patches have been very reliable for years; for me anyway [05:57] googlingtingwana: ok, i do what you said, but whan i reinstall it, i had the same problem, it didn't ask me for set up my root password, and it automatically shut down [05:57] does mounting something lock it exclusively for root/sudo users? [05:58] Bidou, shut down the mysql server, I hope, not the whole computer? [05:58] anyone?

"here you go"?

[06:47] hardware related question: are tv tuner cards and dvb cards different or same ? [06:48] j_: you can try to find an online checker.. or just learn to write properly without software to aid you =) [06:48] #users.openoffice.org can likely answer j_ [06:48] Kasra_ubuntu, write and someone will try help u [06:48] mip: Different [06:48] OK!

[06:50] ThreeFingerPete: what about the generic [06:50] Kasra_ubuntu, wait a moment [06:50] OK! [06:50] When will the Pudgy Penguin release be out? [06:51] bazhang: i had whatever installs with the livecd [06:51] uname -r in the terminal ThreeFingerPete [06:51] bazhang: So how do I turn compiz back on? [06:51] Slart: man xserver says: " '-query hostname' enables XDMCP and sends Query packets to the specified hostname." What is 'XDMCP'? [06:51] diegosouza: goto the adobe website, download the tar.gz file and install that... it will fix the problem [06:51] Meshezabeel: funny but offtopic [06:51] DrBanzai: alt f2 compiz --replace [06:51] dan_, no thanks [06:51] 2.6.22-14-386 [06:51] bazhang, so was that [06:52] bazhang: 2.6.22-14-386 [06:52] bazhang: Thanks [06:52] Waiting for response!

It is giving me an error when I try to change appearance, saying "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'" - could one of the updates be causing this? === cva_ is now known as cva [07:02] Kasra_ubuntu, why don't you answer me?

[07:04] Domevlo: tnx anyway [07:04] dan__: thanks for the link [07:05] rajaji, i think u just need the correct xen kernel image to boot, no one special hardware config [07:05] which tftpd show i install? there are couple in apt-cache [07:05] bazhang: do you know what the replacement file for /etc/iftab is?

[07:08] why'd they get rid of iftab? strangely it made sense, instead of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [07:08] yeah [07:08] :xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae, xen-ioemu-3.0.3-1, xen-linux-system-2.6.20-1-xen-686,xen-utils-3.0.3-1 [07:08] Kasra_ubuntu, i can if u talk to me [07:09] I was wondering how to triple boot between Vista XP and ubuntu [07:09] I already have Vista and Ubuntu running fine [07:09] skull-DT: what do you have installed already [07:09] I want to add XP as a third [07:10] I think you just have to install xp and add it to grub config [07:10] but if I install XP wont it take over the boot system [07:10] (if you use it as boot manager) [07:10] skull-DT: then you should ask in windows; it really is better to have both the windows systems first here is a link http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/hack-attack-how-to-tripleboot-windows-xp-vista-and-ubuntu-193474.php [07:10] rajaji, does was it installed through apt-get or aptitude?

[07:15] SimplySeth: keep in mind I dont use ##windows ;] [07:16] bazhang, hey... by the way have u ever read about the half open source m$ products ? [07:17] hiffy, when I click on icon show desktop my screelets hide . . do anyone know why it happen? [07:17] pstree did not show tftpd, what's the matter? sysvconfig says, it's ON. and i rebooted system [07:17] xTheGoat121x: what is your problem with Pulseaudio? I dont know much about sound but perhaps others here can help if you state your problem clearly [07:17] : i am trying but not getting proper answer [07:17] Hold that thought, bazhang [07:17] rajaji, ok [07:18] diegosouza: ;] [07:19] xen-hypervisor package is require for running guest os?

[07:23] thanks [07:24] hello everyone [07:24] ZXC314, hello [07:25] I have a question for anyone who is willing to help [07:25] I am a really new ubuntu user [07:25] Shoot [07:25] Zxc4314, please ask your question :) [07:25] trying to do a fresh install on a Dell Dimension 2400 [07:25] does anyone know much about the bcm43xx issues? [07:25] ZXC314, ok [07:25] (always love the open source community so helpful) [07:25] anyway [07:25] xTheGoat121x, what is your audio problem? I also have audio problems. [07:26] i go to the start or install option once the gui comes up [07:26] billy: I really hope you get that fixed, you're persistent, so good for you man. I hope the new Ubuntu has that stuff built right in for ya [07:26] then it pulls up the Ubuntu thing and loading screen [07:26] ZXC314, ok, go more specific [07:26] anyway after the orange bar goes back and forth for a while and we start loading from left to right [07:26] Dritzen: yeah.. im an "autodidact" if thats how you spell it.. [07:27] it gets about 75% of the way [07:27] then stops [07:27] (cd drive stops totally) [07:27] just sits there [07:27] Dritzen: anyways, when i do iwconfig, everything pops up, the only thing wrong is that no wireless networks show up... [07:27] any ideas? [07:27] ZXC314, dell dimension 2400 is a notebook ? [07:27] i have that same issue, except mine doesnt even get that far zxv314....oh wait...um...not that bad. [07:27] Well... what happens is that when I boot, I get system sounds, and things like pidgin IM sounds, but if I try to play music or games, terminal informs me that the device is unavailable. [07:27] it's a desktop [07:27] Hm.. to be honest, I don't even use a wireless card in Ubuntu, so I don't have much experience with it [07:28] When I play audio in a java program it usually clips off the first half second and last half second of the audio file. [07:28] I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it? [07:28] I've noticed a call from sh to pulseaudio in my running processes, and if i kill it, I get my sound card back. [07:28] anyone else? [07:28] hm, I think I need to know where find a config file that runs gnome apps at login [07:28] ZXC314, have u ever took a look about parameters to boot? [07:28] so I can comment/remove gnome-panels [07:28] diegosouza, no i haven't [07:29] diegosouza, not even sure what that is [07:29] ZXC314: how much RAM ? [07:29] anyone? [07:29] xTheGoat121x: I wonder if you are using OSS drivers instead of ALSA? The old OSS drivers could only have one audio source at a time, so anything using sound would cause other programs to not be able to access your soundcard [07:29] billy try to bring the card up with sudo dhclient eth1 (this may disconnect your ethernet though) [07:29] whatam i looking for bahzang? [07:30] ZXC314, before u start u can press the Function keys (F1, F2, F3...) to read some interesting things [07:30] ZXC314: i've seen this problem before online, specifically with Dell Dimension. I think I even had this problem myself installing Ubuntu on one of those [07:30] 1024mb [07:30] also known as a GB [07:30] haha [07:30] prince_jammys, ive had it [07:30] yeah [07:30] hehehe [07:30] xTheGoat121x: do you know the name of your soundcard in /etc/ ? Is it /etc/dsp or what is it referenced as? You can type fuser /etc/nameofyoursoundcard and it'll show what programs are using it at the time (same goes for fuser /media/cdrom to see what is using your cdrom, etc) [07:30] Dritzen, nope. I'm using ALSA, I know this for a fact. It's that sh call that's killing me, and I don't know how to trace it down. [07:30] so any suggestions [07:30] bahzang: it said no working leases in persistent database - sleeping [07:30] prince_jammys, i think we have all eventually ran into that at one time or another, could be wrong. [07:31] ZXC314, to do as a geek, google it and find the reason :-p [07:31] not sure where to start though that's the problem I guess [07:31] ZXC314: you can try with the acpi=off boot parameter or try booting in safe mode [07:31] ZXC314, there are a lot of blogs solving that king of problem [07:31] firefox crashed ubuntu, I rebooted, started firefox, restored my session, it crashed again. Anybody know how I could just list the open URLs from the shell, and then start firefox fresh? [07:31] bahzang: it said no working leases in persistent database - sleeping [07:31] ZXC314: i second that, unless someone here knows. there's also the alternate CD [07:31] puff: Don't restore your session then [07:32] billy are there any wireless hotspots where you are [07:32] puff: Ah, didn't see that second part.. not sure about that [07:32] somene else here has possible solutions ZXC314, i would try them before going to google. [07:32] bazhang:im connected to wireless on this comp right now [07:32] google is if here fails [07:32] all good points [07:32] bazhang: but the ubuntu comp wont find anything.. [07:32] like I said just not sure where to start I guess [07:32] trying to listen to streaming radio and only have a choice of win media player or real player - what can I use in ubuntu for this? [07:32] exactly [07:32] I also have a Xubuntu question [07:33] Dritzen, how would I figure out which one is my sound card? [07:33] being that I basically have no prior linux knowledge [07:33] bazhang: and its a totally unsecured network... [07:33] I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it? [07:33] i tried other distros [07:33] mandriva, xubuntu, and even linspire [07:33] all booted to a live cd just fine [07:33] skull-DT, there is a #xubuntu too if you like [07:33] ZXC314: it looks from what i'm seeing online that the alternate CD will do it [07:33] ere4si: for shoutcast and the like? [07:33] !alternate | ZXC314 [07:33] bazhang: im totally stuck.. i don't know what to do from here... [07:33] ZXC314: 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 [07:34] bazhang: it should be working [07:34] i get verry low sound with my intel-hda on gutsy [07:34] bazhang, it is the abc radio in aus... [07:34] asla mixer master is at 00 and wont budge [07:35] ubotu, that is so weird though, live cd works on my dell laptop (inspiron 8500) and the dimension is just a P4 with a gig of ram nothing special or odd [07:35] bazhang: any ideas? [07:35] ZXC314: ubotu is a robot. [07:35] bazhang, Choose a stream from below and click on the link. The media player of your choice should pop up and begin to play the stream. - and the choices are wmp or real [07:35] I'm gonna have to back up all of my user files and do a fresh ubuntu install, sometime RSN. [07:35] !ubotu | zxc314 [07:35] zxc314: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:35] how do i find out if there is a driver installed for it? [07:35] billy you were talking about downgrading from your updates--I hope you did not try to do that [07:35] ZXC314: i'd say that unless you get a specific answer here, the alternate CD is a good solution [07:36] oh weird (about ubotu) [07:36] bazhang: i did a total reinstall, then didn't install the upgrades [07:36] I second that prince_jammys [07:36] does the alternate solve a lot of odd issues? [07:36] speeddemon8803: :) [07:36] ZXC314, yes [07:36] ryzka [07:36] xTheGoat121x: If you go to System, Preferences, Hardware information, then find your soundcard and go to Advanced, it will show you the device name. For example, mine is called /etc/snd/seq [07:36] ere4si: have you tried rhythmbox or amarok for that? [07:36] interesting [07:36] ZXC314, talk to ubotu... he's a cool bot hehehe [07:36] I'll have to read about the alternate cd then [07:36] quick question :s Where would I find the gedit program on my hard drive? I am trying to modify the registry setting so that in wine I can use that to bring up my text files instead of having the wine version of notepad to see if that can be done [07:36] puff: take a look at ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/sessionstore.js [07:36] hmmm riiiiiiight [07:37] ZXC314: yeah the bot has the answers to certain FAQs and is invoked by keywords. i did !alternate and he told you the message [07:37] if your computer has less than the recommended ammount of ram for ubuntu, the alternative cd is your best friend...or xubuntu. [07:37] alt f2 gedit Elda [07:37] bazhang, r/box and vlc and nothing happens after they open [07:37] ok thanx evil [07:37] But WHERE on the hd is it located? [07:37] can anyone help me? [07:37] bazhang: i started from complete scratch, reinstalled from livecd and everything, installed the drivers like i did before, and it didn't work.. [07:37] I know how to run it, lol [07:37] crow, did you tell us what you needed help with before? [07:37] low sound on my laptop under kubuntu 7.10? anyone? [07:37] Im trying to find where it is located though so I can edit the registry of wine to point to there when I open txt files [07:37] I got 3 partitions on my disc. 1 ubuntu, 1 xp(fat32), and one neutral(fat32). my windows reads the two fat32 partitions, but my ubuntu reads only it's own partition, and the one windows is installed. how do I mount the neutral one, so ubuntu could read it? [07:37] does anyone know any good small channels to chat with people about unbuntu [07:37] ZXC314: it's also not necessarily a RAM issue. I have had the same problem with a Dell Dimension, using the Live CD. But the alternate CD should work [07:37] bazhang: ubuntu completely recognizes the card and the drivers are running, but i just cant connect to the internet or see any networks [07:37] I did 2 times, this is 3th time [07:38] Elda: which gedit [07:38] xTheGoat121x: Actually, I found some other devices in /dev/snd [07:38] ZXC314: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-386920.html [07:38] the gedit that comes up when you use the command line [07:38] ... [07:38] whereis gedit [07:38] IE gedit .... [07:38] heh [07:38] Crow, patience friend. [07:38] Elda: 'which gedit' [07:38] k k [07:38] ah okey [07:38] We will eventually get to you. [07:38] prince_jammys, thanks I appreciate all the help, what you are doing really is what makes the open source community great [07:38] ZXC314, ubuntu-br, but in portuguese ;-) [07:38] bazhang? [07:38] thanks :) [07:38] your welcome ZXC314 [07:38] ZXC314: you're welcome, and come back and let us know [07:38] you're welcome Elda [07:39] Dritzen, all right, hold on a second. [07:39] So basically when specifying it in the registry it would be Z:/usr/bin/gedit [07:39] Daisuke_Ido: [07:39] Daisuke_Ido: domo. [07:39] billy no real experience with that card first hand--if the wiki does not help and you have blacklisted the driver and completely followed the ndiswrapper steps then not sure what to tell you [07:40] ZXC314: as for the other chat question: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:40] Dritzen, only strings I get are /sys/devices/ strings [07:40] xTheGoat121x: I went to /dev/snd and typed: fuser * and it showed me that pcmC0D0p: 8495m I'm running Exaile and playing audio through it, and I did ps aux | grep exaile and 8495 is the process ID, so that's how I can tell that exaile is using my audio [07:40] !log | ArthurA [07:40] ArthurA: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » [07:40] ok the #xubuntu channel is dead... [07:40] bazhang: i blacklisted the ndiswrapper and activated the bcm43xx drivers cuz thats what i know works, but it obviously doesn't now lol [07:40] thanks prince_jammys [07:40] ZXC314: that deals with general ubuntu-related (but not support related) stuff [07:40] alright well i need to get to bed.. gnight all [07:40] any idea how to add people as "friends" with irc (I'm new to that too) [07:40] billy I meant the reverse [07:41] guys [07:41] nnvm [07:41] Dritzen, aha, got it. However, the problem still arises that I [07:41] puff: was that what you were looking for? [07:41] don't know how to stop said process from running. [07:41] ZXC314: that probably depends on the IRC app you're using. check the help page for that app or specify which IRC client you use and someone might know [07:42] that seems fair [07:42] ZXC314: the best way is to choose who is *not* a friend and put them on /ignore ;] [07:42] xTheGoat121x: The people that made fuser were clever. It shows you what is accessing the device you inquire about. However, you can use fuser -k devicename and it'll KILL (stop) the process that is accessing it. so for my example, if I typed fuser -k /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p it will kill whatever program is accessing my soundcard [07:43] Dritzen, that's pretty cool. I never knew about that prog. [07:43] xTheGoat121x: To be honest, I just learned about it recently myself :) [07:44] ZXC314, first of all register your user, so u can chat private messages [07:44] Daisuke_Ido: Yeah, now I just need to figure out how to parse it. [07:44] diegosouza, don't know how to register your user? [07:44] !register [07:44] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [07:44] Daisuke_Ido: Actually I'm thinking about taking a quick swack at writing a script (preferably perl) to extract the URLs from it,. [07:44] (I know I know I'm hopeless) [07:45] bazhang, youre quick ;-) [07:45] xTheGoat121x: You could always write a simple bash script as well, to do that command before running your game, for example. [07:45] hello there everyone... i am having problem mounting my windows partition.. any idea how to mount it again.. ? [07:45] Dritzen, that's exactly what I'm doing right now, actually... LMAO! [07:45] xTheGoat121x: Personally, I use a script for all of my games to turn off compiz before I run them, then turn it back on 30 seconds after the game is finished :) [07:45] oh crap I definatley just registered myself as "nickname" [07:46] hi [07:46] zxc314, you probably didnt [07:46] well poo [07:46] jorel, hi [07:46] ZXC314: no worries just type /nick newnick [07:46] It now tells me "gedit cannot handle z: locations [07:46] !register | zxc314 [07:46] zxc314: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

However, when I run an apt get for something else, apt wants to remove nspluginwrapper which will break the flash install. How can I tell apt to ignore this? [07:57] prince_jammy: heres the result >>grep: ntfs: No such file or directory [07:57] jtslade: could you describe your issue with some precision please [07:57] Jigs: sorry, i said it upside down: grep ntfs /etc/fstab [07:57] bazhang, Yes I will do so thanks.

[07:58] Jigs: you're getting that after:: grep ntfs /etc/fstab ?? [07:58] Dear Ubuntu gurus, how do I connect to an IRC when Im on a VPN connection at a college. When I was using Vista I managed to do this but it the client I was using (mIRC) had to try(or retry) many different ports(or times) before it would conenct whichever it was, I am not sure. But I know it was possible, Im just wondering how I do it now [07:59] so when i am in the server how do I register, pick a nicknae and a pass? [07:59] then I can talk to people idividually? [07:59] prince_jammy: well i repeat it again by pasting the grep to the terminal and theres no result [07:59] allorder: yes should be [07:59] do i need to install print drivers in Ubuntu? [08:00] mrpockets: depends on the printer--some are well supported out of the box [08:00] mrpockets: One of the nice features of Ubuntu 7.10 is the ability to auto detect printers [08:00] its a dell :( [08:00] it comes up [08:00] but says error when printing [08:00] Jigs: ok type:: sudo fdisk -l and paste the line with NTFS here [08:00] hey all im trying to install ubuntu on a sony vaio but i cant boot the live cd i get a message about leading the kernal then the screen goes blank it does this with bot ubuntu and mint [08:01] Flyerfye, I'm sorry i don't know abour vpn [08:01] meh [08:01] Cew27: have you tried with acpi=off boot parameter?

[08:04] is it possible to assign the Scale Compiz-fusion effect to a mouse button instead of the weird keyboard combinations?? [08:04] prince_jammy: k [08:04] Jigs: like this:: mkdir /media/windows [08:04] Jigs: sudo mkdir /media/windows [08:04] yeh [08:05] skull-DT: not sure about that; I always just assign a screen corner (eg top right) for that [08:05] bazhang: no wait all i see is start ubuntu there is no install option [08:05] skull-dt: I use the corners of my screen [08:05] ohh good idea [08:05] how do I do that? [08:05] Cew27: there should be some options at the bottom of the screen f2 etc do you see them? [08:05] prince_jammy: ok windows dir created, i can see it now in the media dir where i was now mean am in the filesystem [08:06] skull-dt: Press alt-f2 and type ccsm [08:06] skull-DT: go to the plugin click it in the ccsm and then assign the screen corner you want under keybindings [08:06] Jigs ok now:: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and a text editor should pop up with the fstab file [08:06] ok let me try that [08:06] bazhang, the info you gave me the link to tells me stuff but not how to actually register the name [08:06] just the password and my e-mail and stuff [08:07] prince_jammy: yeah its open now [08:07] Jigs: any particular permissions you want to set? read-write, etc? [08:07] i want to use the Guided disk space partition option, but I want to format as reiserfs, not ext3 ... is there any way to simply change this without having to manually setup all the partitions? [08:07] bazhang: im not on the live cd now but im sure i will be able to what do i do from there can you type a little list of instructions [08:07] skull-dt: Once CCSM is open, go to scale, Actions, General, and you can set the screen corner settings there. I use bottom right for window picker for all windows, and then I use the bottomleft corner for the plugin called "expo", it works well [08:08] prince_jammy: this is the place where i have to put the partition of windows? [08:08] nice it worked! [08:08] thanks I lke it like this [08:08] its nice [08:08] ZXC314: try this: /msg nickserv register [08:08] thank you guys [08:08] Jigs: yes, i'll paste the line for you after you answer a couple of questions [08:08] is that for my actual nick name not "you-password" as it would suggest? [08:08] Jigs: do you want to read and write to the partition or just read? [08:08] ZXC314: then this /msg nickserv set hide email on [08:08] prince_jammy: do i have to answer the first question? [08:09] skull-dt: This guy wrote a pretty nice compiz guide, check it out http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion [08:09] ZXC314: no choose a password [08:09] Jigs: huh? [08:09] prince_jammy: oh well nvm [08:09] got it got it [08:09] so now that i fucked that up [08:09] prince_jammy: just go ahead, whats next? [08:09] ok Dritzen I'll check it out thx [08:09] so i can make my password something else how do i do that [08:09] ZXC314: then finally this [08:09] # [08:09] /msg nickserv set email [08:10] Jigs: type in a different terminal:: echo $UID [08:10] Jigs: probably 1000 [08:10] hello all [08:10] Hey unimatrix9 [08:10] prince_jammys: yup ur ryt [08:10] where can i add for more sources for nvidia graphics card [08:10] ZXC314: then last do /msg nickserv identify (the password you chose here) [08:10] prince_jammys: i got 1000 [08:10] i have an older ubuntu version wich does not have lstree, is there an way to get it installed? [08:11] Jigs: ok, now i missed whether you want to be able to write to this partition [08:11] prince_jammys: just wanna used the windows partition in normal way [08:11] unimatrix9: I'm running 7.10 and I don't seem to have lstree either, let's see [08:12] Jigs: ok after the last line in the fstab file you opened, paste the line i'm about to post [08:12] i treid apt-get install lstree, but that did not work , either [08:12] Cew27: you still around? the boot parameters (cant remember the exact one atm) are listed at the bottom of that screen and one of the choices is boot apci=off choose that then try continuing [08:12] Jigs:/dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 0 [08:12] unimatrix9: which version of ubuntu [08:13] edgy [08:13] bazhang, did you get that message [08:13] I believe i am all registered up! [08:13] ZXC314: aye [08:13] i know its old, but rock solid...:) [08:13] by the way, whats a splash screen? [08:13] unimatrix9: I didn't find any reference to lstree by using apt-cache search lstree , nor did I find it in synaptic. I found a page on sun's website, http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/jsp/descFile.jsp?url=descAll/lstree_print_direct however, I haven't used this, not sure how much I'd trust it [08:13] prince_jammys: ok done, but what is umask=002? [08:13] bazhang: ok will do what does that change/do ? === Elda is now known as Elda|SleepBubble [08:14] are there any problems with solid state drives in linux? I am thinking of getting a toshiba r500-126 [08:14] Jigs: it means your user and your group can read, write and execute files in there. other users can only read and execute [08:14] i thought lstree to be standerd in any linux distro, but i guess i am wrong [08:14] Is there a key to push to active the "Start" menu -- I am on LinuxMint (Gnome). I tried the Windows key, no go. [08:14] prince_jammys: ok nice ncie [08:14] unimatrix9: I know pstree is installed by default for sure :) [08:14] ah , okey, that good too [08:14] thanks for the tip [08:14] Jigs, umask is the oposite of chmod, see: 777 - 002 [08:15] Jigs: make sure the last line in fstab is blank (ie there is one empty line at the very end) [08:15] Cew27: that may solve the issue you are having, though just as a failsafe you may want to check out the alternate cd and stay away from Mint (its slow) ;] [08:15] cool, yeah thats it... [08:15] thanks again [08:15] bazhang, mint is slow? [08:15] unimatrix9: no problem [08:15] Jigs: make sure the line is exactly like the one i pasted, and save the file [08:15] hrm [08:15] prince_jammys: already check, same as the last line b4 i put the new string.. [08:15] i didn't find mint any slower than ubuntu [08:15] bazhang: mint is slow?! all teh reviews i have heard say its faster than ubuntu [08:16] Is there a key to push to active the "Start" menu -- I am on LinuxMint (Gnome). I tried the Windows key, no go. [08:16] vawksel: yes, afraid so; why have mint when you can get the original? ;] [08:16] bazhang: mint is slow? [08:16] bazhang: hrm [08:16] vawksel: Press alt-f1 [08:16] bye all [08:16] vawksel, exchange the windows key with a linux key ;) [08:16] Jigs: ok you can close the editor and go to a terminal and type::: sudo mount /media/windows [08:16] prince_jammys: already checked, no emptry line there [08:16] original? heh you mean Debian? ;-) [08:17] Jigs: if there's no empty line, hit enter after the last line so you have a blank line at the bottom [08:17] hrm, Alt-F1 seems to mostly do the trick. [08:17] vawksel: Alt-F1 is the Gnome shortcut to get the applications menu open. You could go into the gnome keyboard shortcuts section and rebind it I suppose [08:17] vawksel: and Cew27 from long personal experience it is slower but this is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic ;] [08:17] Dritzen, i wouldn't do that, is the standard key for most compiz operations [08:18] DASPRiD: I was thinking that it would be a major pain in the butt, personally but who knows if he's using compiz at all [08:18] Well, Alt-F1 launches the app menu, but not the same functionality. I want the search box, so I can type "net" and see NetBeans appear... I tried using Alt-F1, it doesn't go to NetBeans, but typing "Calc" does show the calculator [08:18] prince_jammys: Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: [08:18] Jigs: so it's already mounted? [08:19] Jigs: wait [08:19] Jigs: type:: pwd [08:19] vawksel: The run command is Alt-F2 but I don't think it autocompletes commands for you [08:19] Dritzen: maybe this is a linux mint thing? In the main "menu", there is a search box, you type and the results on the right in real time whittle down. [08:19] !mint | vawksel [08:19] vawksel: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [08:20] Jigs: or if you browsed to /media/windows from the file browser, get out of that directory [08:20] hello mates, is there no linux support for the nvidia 8800 GS card? [08:20] prince_jammys: i can see the drive but like what ive said recently theres an error , "cannot mount volume" [08:20] ArthurArchnix: true -- I was thinking this was universal for gnome/ubuntu though [08:20] vawksel: I think it's Linuxmint, it doesn't look anything like that in Ubuntu, at least not for me personally [08:20] ArthurArchnix: maybe i'll uninstall linux mint then and go straight ubuntu. [08:20] Dritzen: ah ok, that makes more sense then. [08:20] Jigs: if you have any file browser that is presently inside that directory, move out of it. if you have any terminal inside that directory, type :: cd [08:21] Dritzen: well, it's a really slick feature, ubuntu dev's should copy it ;-) [08:21] Jigs: it can' [08:21] Dritzen: its kinda like QuickSilver (OS X) if you know what im talking about [08:21] Jigs: it can't be mounted while that folder is open [08:21] vawksel: Sure. Sounds like a useful feature, I hope they do copy it [08:21] vawksel, yep it's a neat feature. i'm using gnome-do to get similar functionality [08:21] prince_jammys: o ic, i'll check it [08:22] Gatton: gnome-do? I haven'e heard of that. [08:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo [08:22] vawksel, it's a launcher like quicksilver. very basic but it does the trick [08:22] Gatton: oh wow, do.davebsd.com (gnome-do) looks fantastic. [08:22] magret, the 8800 series is supported by the nVidia binary driver, you can get at it using the restricted drivers manger in system->settings->administration [08:22] yeah it looks great [08:22] thats what I want [08:22] i just installed it today. i'm liking it [08:22] Jigs: on the console try something like "sudo lsof | grep " you should see what processes have the open handle [08:23] prince_jammys: ok [08:23] Gatton: sweet, im going to do the same right now. [08:23] Gnome DO: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22GNOME+Do%22+launchpad.net%20gc+OR+davebsd.com&num=10&so=4&start=0#2242004396426427605 [08:23] Jigs: success? [08:23] does anyone know any good websites to learn linux from scratch (as in how it works and all?) [08:23] prince_jammys: not yet pls w8 [08:23] vawksel, cool. have fun it's a pretty neat app [08:23] karuna_bdc, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [08:23] karuna_bdc: their home page [08:24] wow, didnt know that page existed... [08:24] doggone it i've been saying i'm gonna do LFS for years! one day :-) [08:24] magret: I just looked on nvidia's site and they have the 8800 GS listed, looks like it is supported [08:24] i found out why my vbox was crashing constantly [08:24] uhhh... that's some horrible screencast work. I'm having to repress my gag relfex to see how cool gnome do is... [08:24] karuna_bdc, download the LFS book, you'll love it [08:24] in xp, you need show windows while dragging turned on, or else it's buggy [08:25] flowOver, gnome-do for winxp? [08:25] prince_jammys: sir i used the command like this > sudo lsof | grep /media/windows no result [08:25] in winxp you want launchy for that kinda thing :-) [08:25] Jigs: try mounting again with:: sudo mount /media/windows [08:26] * Gatton got hooked on the launcher thing with LaunchBar on OSX [08:26] takes all day to go through menus! :-) [08:26] gnome wha? I'm a newbie linux desktop user. most experience in command line linux. i only just made the switch to ubuntu after having crossed paths with it a few times with good experiences... kind of [08:26] prince_jammys: already did, same result, i better restart my pc then i'll come back here [08:26] Jigs: ok come back and let me know [08:26] Night all [08:27] anyone know of a macdrive equivalent for ubuntu [08:27] cya [08:27] !goodbye | bazhang [08:27] what is macdrive onefunk [08:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about goodbye - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:27] oh [08:27] :( [08:28] * DASPRiD pats ArthurArchnix [08:28] bazhang: it's a prog that allows me acces my mac formatted drive on pc [08:29] really, who wants to access a mac? :P [08:29] when I change graphics card driver under system-->administration-->screens and graphics, it doesnt save the settings - how do I fix this? [08:29] how do i get the update manager to start using the internet and stop using the cdrom? for example when i do sudo apt-get update it does "Ign cdrom:// ....." [08:29] onefunk: hfs+ not sure there [08:29] hah... i have tones of media that i need off it and we work cross platform with my project [08:29] gnychis: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add a # in front of any deb.cdrom [08:29] prince_jammys: sir same error [08:29] Jigs: any luck? if not, you should paste the contents of fstab here [08:29] Hi people. I'm trying to run compiz on Ubuntu gutsy. It does it's usual checks, succeeds, but then fails to find compiz. this is the error message: /usr/bin/compiz: 378: /usr/local/bin/compiz: not found <-- how can i fix that one? [08:30] prince_jammys: ok [08:30] Hello [08:30] Gnome-Do is great, I got it up and running and it works really well [08:30] Jigs: do :: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and paste in the paste bin [08:30] prince_jammys: w8 [08:30] !paste | Jigs [08:30] Jigs: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:30] Arelis: You can try reinstalling compiz [08:30] I just upgraded to Gutsy, and...kdm starts up..but i get a shell screen, saying "No Screens Found"..how do I fix this? [08:30] onefunk, this page might have some useful info? http://fosswire.com/2007/09/12/dealing-with-mac-formatted-drives-on-linux/ [08:30] prince_jammys: heres the result of the mount > Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: [08:30] ArthurArchnix: what packages? [08:30] Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by [08:30] clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows [08:30] taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. [08:30] Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for [08:30] your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: [08:30] Jigs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:31] is it quicker to install packages from terminal? [08:31] ^_° [08:31] karuna_bdc, yes [08:31] Arelis: that /usr/bin/compiz script trys to start compiz from wrong place, locate compiz executable and modify script [08:31] karuna_bdc, once you are used to typing it synaptic seems dog slow [08:32] o boi [08:32] Did anyone see my post? [08:32] Arelis: I think it would be: sudo apt-get --reinstall compiz* --purge but wait a tic and see if someone corrects me. === nox-Hand is now known as Dunce [08:32] * DASPRiD is too lazy to correct ArthurArchnix [08:32] DASPRiD: ah no wonder. the package manager takes forever, Time to fire up the terminal! [08:33] karuna_bdc, hehe === max164 is now known as max` [08:33] why the heck isn't gnome-do in the repos btw? [08:33] gatton: thanks cheers === Dunce is now known as nox-Hand [08:33] Arelis: reinstal does what it says, compiz* means reinstall everything with compiz in its name, and --purge means ignore all my old settings, restore to default. [08:34] Jigs: hold on, i'm seeing what this message is about [08:34] hello [08:34] Arelis: You may need to restart x to take effect. Either logout and back in or hti ctrl alt backspace [08:35] htt [08:35] I keep getting errors from apt-get and synaptic, "Unable to copy the user's Xautorization file." what have I done wrong? [08:35] Jigs: ok first let's double-check by pasting in the pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org ) the entire contents of the fstab file. you can open it with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab === cva_ is now known as cva [08:36] how do i change mirrors for my repository access?

[08:40] DASPRiD: nay [08:40] good :) [08:40] Cew27: can u paste ur /boot/grub/menu.lst first for me to see?

[08:43] how do i change my gnome language within terminal? [08:43] Cew27: comment out line 12 to line 21, by adding a # infront [08:43] Cew27: reboot and voila [08:45] bazhang this is what i'm geting: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [08:45] panosru: you could try booting up in cli mode and try to continue the dist-upgrade from there [08:45] anyone oc with ubuntu? [08:46] the 'taskbar' or whatever it's called at the bottom. how can i style that like i can window borders [08:46] does CD require executable bit also set? [08:46] speart you have an actual question? [08:47] bazhang i boot in recovery mode and from there i tried "dpkg --conficure -a" but didn't work i tried "apt-get install -f" but this didn't work to neither "aptitude disk-upgrade" worked... :( [08:47] bazhang, done :) [08:47] bazhang, just wanted to compare results, or get to know new tools [08:47] bazhang, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1136/ you surely vote yes for it? ;) [08:47] boohoo: yes [08:48] idyllic: ok done that, now is there anyway to speedup boot time at the moemtn it is about 30 seconds to login screen and then 10 after that [08:48] DASPRiD: of course ;] [08:48] prince_jammys: ahh explains it [08:48] boohoo: :) [08:49] i was pulling my hair off [08:49] Cew27: okay, my laptop also boot in about 30 secons [08:49] boohoo: yeah, x has special meaning when it comes to dirs [08:49] speart: u mean overclock? [08:49] mkquist, yeah [08:49] Cew27: there are several links floating around for you to reduce boot times, i didnt bookmark those. You should google urself, cos i need to go off. [08:49] bazhang, bah you voted it down, didnt you? :P [08:50] DASPRiD: not voted yet ;] [08:50] hm, ok, then the brainstorm users are quite active ;) [08:50] idyllic: ok [08:50] prince_jammys: but, shouldn't i be able to vi a file in that directory? [08:51] any tools for measuring system temps? [08:51] speart: cause thats a whole new set of problems... you can create all sorts of probs w/oc'ing, but if your willing to do that you can't blame the OS, you just pushing things and I doubt you'll get much help w/that.. just my opinion... [08:51] even if the directory is not executable [08:51] !lm-sensors [08:51] You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [08:52] i'm downloading the current hardy daily [08:52] boohoo: mmm good question. i don't know. you could make a couple of test dirs and see :) [08:52] has anyone tried it out yet here? [08:52] speart: btw, ive done that in the past, but w/the proc speeds as they are now, I just don't see much point... [08:52] boohoo: you're right, i would think you could access the file directly [08:52] mkquist: getting a 3GHz cpu for 60EUR [08:53] mkquist, I know what to do, I run mem test and my motherboard bios is quite extensive. I run boinc and various java ides, there is a great speed boost for a 500MHZ dual core oc. [08:53] wols: well, uno your trying to cheat, now... idk... past me i think (speed is sooo cheap i think) [08:53] mkquist: my wallet of course! [08:53] prince_jammys: but if a file in a non-readable directory is world-readable, is it really world readable? [08:53] or only by the people who can enter the directory? [08:53] it's nice to have desktop tools for tracking the system [08:53] boohoo: it could have to do with conflicting permissions in your user/group (a guess) [08:54] speart: last time i bothered it was like and amd k6-2 350, ran at like 550, but I just don't see the need anymore... so g/l with that.. IMHO it's just easier to upgrade [08:54] boohoo: my understanding was that you could access it directly, even if the parent dir is not readable. but i definitely could be wrong on that [08:54] mkquist, but that's not fun [08:55] . [08:55] !dvd | Wobbo [08:56] goniochromism: you should check #ubuntu+1 [08:56] I need the terminal command to remove a directory [08:56] and just for the record, my system is more stable with overclocking [08:56] please [08:56] hi there [08:56] LDS_Trooper: rm -r dir_name [08:56] wols: just seems like speed is soo cheap that the downsides now don't justifye the returns. I'm of the opion that the OC's from the past made it clear to the proc companies that they had more to get. so now they (the companies themselves) are pushing so hard its lucky to get much out of an OC [08:57] LDS_Trooper, #rm -Rf dir [08:57] prince_jammys thanks [08:57] cd #ubuntu+1 [08:57] oops [08:57] wols: but i could be wrong of course [08:57] haha [08:57] goniochromism: too much time in the terminal ;] /join [08:58] wols: its like by the time u spend to make a system OC u can just spen almost the same to upgrade w/o the headaches [08:58] spend* sry [08:58] !ot [08:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:59] wols: just my opinion at this point... returns not being justified anymore... unless its just for fun.. [08:59] ok dropping this topic, but it took me just 15 minutes to tweak the system [08:59] mkquist: see above [09:00] bazhang: above? which.. now im curious... not like i wouldtnt like to cheat some speed myself... [09:00] the offtopic part ;] [09:00] the !ot? [09:00] yes [09:01] i'm there fellow ocers [09:01] speart: have you seen the factoid? [09:01] so ubuntu+1? [09:01] #ubuntu-offtopic [09:01] mkquist: your babble is OT on any channel [09:01] you can annyo ##hardware if you insist tho [09:01] of course, but.. [09:01] please drop it already [09:02] wols: i wasnt babbling about OC'ing.. someone else was... I was just thowing my 2 cents in.. [09:02] the other guy was sorta on topic. you weren [09:02] t [09:02] ic ok [09:02] speart: did you see the factoid? [09:03] wols: wait how was i off? wasnt trying to be i assure. [09:03] yeah wols [09:03] sry if i got that wrong. not intentional to be sure [09:04] mkquist: go finally away. please [09:04] please [09:04] dont be rude [09:04] you are still OT ffs! [09:04] fine done then [09:05] if i copy my partitions to a second drive; and later copy it back, will it be functional? [09:06] ThreeFingerPete: your /home? [09:08] bazhang: dont you ever leave chat? :) no, i got full compiz working with 7.10 and a radeon 9600 card. but my game needs the opengl resources. I dont want to go through that config nightmare. I've been doing it since i got the dual core working again [09:09] join #ot [09:09] does it possible to restart server(restart the computer) from romote access via terminal ? [09:09] sry [09:09] why ubuntu doesnt have an integrated firewall ? [09:09] cerberus: sudo shutdown -r now [09:09] allorder: what do you need one for? [09:09] cerberus: sudo reboot [09:09] ThreeFingerPete: yes, but watch user rights [09:09] and it does btw [09:09] allorder: it doesnt need it [09:09] allorder iptables is it; you can use firestarter as a gui [09:09] allorder: it dosn't need it [09:10] !firewall | allorder [09:10] allorder: 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). [09:10] allorder: and iptbles is there [09:10] allorder: would be nice to have, but there is no real pressure to do it, as Ubuntu follow zero ports open policy by default [09:10] iptables isnt user friendly [09:10] allorder: try firestarter [09:10] allorder: a firewall is not for users? [09:10] allorder: install Firestarter [09:10] allorder: firewall settings shouldn't be something that users config [09:10] sudo apt-get install firestarter allorder ;] [09:11] thx but why it doesnt need it [09:11] allorder: no open ports as default [09:12] allorder: some users might open ports and then need a firewall [09:12] allorder: because there is no open ports by default and all security issues, if there are any, aren't related to firewall. [09:12] does ipw2200 on ubuntu support injection ? or do I have to patch it ? [09:13] ya but unknown security issue will be protected with firewall.. [09:13] allorder: firewall is part of linux, so u don't need to worry about it unless u need to manually configure.. It's called iptables [09:13] nighters [09:13] allorder this is not ##windows ;] [09:13] allorder: says who? with no ports open, there is nothing for firewall to protect [09:14] allorder: uknown security problem can be only local user root exploit, DoS, etc. [09:14] allorder: using user locally [09:14] if a program open a port without my permission, firewall will block it by default.. ? [09:14] !lnw [09:14] Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [09:14] see above allorder [09:15] guys, linux firewall (netfilter, with usrespace tools iptables) is set to allow all connections by default with ubuntu [09:15] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> but bittorrent opens some ports right? [09:15] allorder: aha, that is valid issue, but so far no official repository apps won't open _unknown_ ports [09:15] hi [09:15] question: does wine suffer from windows virii? [09:16] allorder: you cant open ports under 1000 without root permissions, and even if "user" installs some program that allows access, attacker would have only users permissions [09:16] allorder: Ubuntu justs respects user whishes and don't control it because it "thinks" that user knows what to do [09:16] i am asking if anyone tried master shaper with ubuntu server [09:16] ??? [09:16] ThreeFingerPete, you can actualy find some good articles on that online, where people have tried to intentionaly infect themselves, with mixed results [09:16] or any other bandwidth controller [09:16] ThreeFingerPete: on very limited basis [09:17] abujana: kernel + iputils2 when using gentoo, probably same packages are in ubuntu [09:17] this is getting waaaay offtopic ;] [09:17] in fact, there was very nice idea to allow clamav scan exe before running it on wine [09:17] simplexio, whats the scenario here, wherever there is software thats buggy there are ways into a system [09:18] Squawk: well my opinion is that if computer has users, game is allreadyd lost when talking about 100% security === bascule_ is now known as bascule [09:18] simplexio, if a computer is connected to hte internet security is lost, firewall or not [09:18] does ubuntu have an RDP client by default ?

[09:20] firefox abujana? [09:20] abujana, web interfeace? firefox? [09:20] no [09:21] like webmin [09:21] ?? [09:21] hmm [09:21] where is /etc/inetd.conf ? [09:21] ubuntu don't have it [09:21] ebox is what you want abujana [09:21] Squawk: ... i mean, if you dont use that computer at all, have no services, and you dont update assuming that your installed programs are good ,there is no real risk [09:21] !webmin | abujana [09:21] abujana: 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. [09:21] simplexio, minimal maybe, but there is a risk. gold44 what exactly are you trying to do? [09:21] gold44: propably it is xinetd? [09:21] thanks [09:22] does it support squid [09:22] ?

[09:28] crackhead100_, simple answer, run "sudo iptables -vnL" and see if there is a firewall as such [09:29] ok, one sec. will pastebin result. [09:29] gold44, well if you are still interested, punsh me ;P [09:29] checked it!!!! now help! [09:29] punsh? [09:29] Squawk: they all appear to be blank.. input.. nothing listed.. forward nothing listed.. output nothing listed.. [09:29] hm dunno [09:29] crackhead100_: what is your wireless card? [09:29] crow, put my name when you type, I nearly missed it. partid will be something like /dev/hda3 [09:29] crackhead100_, ok its not firewall, so have to look elsewhere [09:29] pecisk_: a belkin usb wireless adapter. very simple. [09:30] crackhead100_: what chipset? [09:30] crackhead100_, can you do iwlist interfacename scan? [09:30] Squawk: i'm all ears.. [09:30] DASPRiD: last q, before install. will proftpd let me change port?not use 69 as defaul [09:30] hey [09:30] thanks [09:30] crackhead100_, basicaly that should see if you can see the connection === josh_ is now known as Joshyboy [09:30] gold44, you mean not use 21 as default, dont you? [09:30] how do i install themes in ubuntu? [09:30] i love ubuntu [09:30] Squawk, how do I see the partid? [09:31] Squawk: i can see the proper network essid with the scan. [09:31] DASPRiD: no, 69 T ftpd, not ftpd. [09:31] gold44, now i'm confused, thanks [09:31] crackhead100_, check wep password, nothing wrong then that I can think of immediately [09:31] Squawk, u said somth like /dev/hda3, how can I know for sure? [09:31] gold44: about xinetd, if you have installed it - which I doubt now - then you should have /etc/xinetd.conf which is general config and /etc/xinet.d/ which is seperated config files for each of services. It would be better to keep it that way :) [09:31] DASPRiD: TFTPD not FTPD [09:31] crow, can you do "sudo fdisk" and then press "p", and show me the results ina pm (probably about 5 lines of text) [09:32] how do i install themes in ubuntu? [09:32] Squawk: i know the password is correct [09:32] gold44, ok nvm, understood it wrong, stay with tftpd :) [09:32] pecisk buntu default install, never gave me xinetd [09:32] noe, have u tried system/pref/appearance? [09:32] neo: sry last for u... [09:32] gold44: exactly, because xinetd by default would be very huge security issue :) [09:32] gold44: install it [09:33] neo: check system/preferences/appearance [09:33] gold44: sudo apt-get install xinetd [09:33] hi, im in network manager, and i hit unlock then change some stuff, then when it should reload it says "The configuration could not be saved You are not allowed to modify the system configuration ()" even though i have sudo privliges, could it be my write access to the config file was removed somehow? how do i find out where it is and fix that? [09:33] today is a good day to fry [09:33] gold44: but first check if you really really need it [09:33] crackhead100_, do you have dhcp server configured correctly in your net config? tbh I havnt done this under ubuntu (only gentoo) so not sure where the config is kept [09:33] Squawk: the server is a router. where else is my server configured? I dont kno what you mean [09:33] pecisk_: no i don't. i just found a link for tftpd. let me try that first [09:33] Squawk, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57799/ [09:33] gold44: wait, just install it with apt-get [09:34] where do i download the themes from??/ in which format ???? i downloaded a theme and it said that format was invalid [09:34] crackhead100_, I mean where did you configure your wireless? YOu must have config file, can you show me it? [09:34] Squawk: i can actually get a connection from another ubuntu machine, a laptop, through nm-applet [09:34] You guys/girls know any good links for settings up a basic hosts file? I want to ease up the load on adblock and I read that the hosts file is even better than adblock (makes browsing faster, etc) [09:34] Squawk: which config file do you want to see? [09:34] crackhead100_, sorry man, should have been more specific. I need you to run "fdisk /dev/hda", or "fdisk /dev/sda" one will give output, one wont [09:34] where do i download the themes from??/ in which format ???? i downloaded a theme and it said that format was invalid [09:34] Hi there. Can anybody help me with a complicated problem with my PC that goes further than only Ubuntu? It's about segmentation faults and random crashes in every distribution [09:34] crackhead100_, anything to do with wireless [09:35] Squawk: i didnt do any manual file configs, except for /etc/net*/networkinterfaces.. i added "auto eth1.. iface inet eth1 dhcp" [09:35] or whatever properly [09:35] neo: check www.gnome-look.org [09:35] And if so, can you please join #helparelis to avoid the overhead of this channel? [09:35] crackhead100_, ok, hmm [09:35] i just tried something and it worked so well i wanted to tell everyone. sudo gedit /etc/make_it_all_work_perfect.conf [09:35] !hosts [09:35] pecisk_: xinetd vs inetd ? one for x i supposed. but other than that, is one newer than the other? [09:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:35] !host [09:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about host - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:35] gold44: of course xinetd, because it is more secure [09:36] Hi there. Can anybody help me with a complicated problem with my PC that goes further than only Ubuntu? It's about segmentation faults and random crashes in every distribution, and more weird stuff. If so, can you please join #helparelis to help me? [09:36] hello everyone [09:36] crackhead100_, what does ifconfig interfacename give? [09:36] pecisk_: ok, usually, i prefer to install non X stuff. that's ONE dependence less [09:36] gold44: by the way, you can install tftpd by apt-get install tftpd [09:36] Arelis, seg faults accross distributions suggest bad RAM, check your RAM with memtest [09:36] pecisk_: am already running tftpd-hpa [09:36] gold44: that name is confusing, it has no way any connection with Xorg or X-Windows [09:36] Squawk: i already did that. Also spinrite, so it's not the harddisk either [09:37] gold44: nice, so why do you need xinetd then? [09:37] gtk1.0 or gtk2.0 or should i download special theme for compiz????? and will ordinary theme work with compiz?????? [09:37] pecisk_: u told me to install it. and i am hesitant to do so. [09:37] Arelis: random segfault usually mean that you have broken hardware [09:37] neo: ordinary theme will work with compiz and of course gtk2.0 [09:37] hi [09:37] crackhead100_, have you tried setting an ip manualy, and checking that the problem is infact dhcp? [09:38] gold44: ok, then I misunderstood you [09:38] gold44: what do you want to achieve? tftpd is up and running, yes? [09:38] crow, you having problems? [09:38] pecisk_: yes. where's the folder when i can put iso and bin images? [09:38] Arelis: run memtest for 2days, if no errors then it isnt in your memory [09:38] Squawk: what do you mean? how do i set it manually? [09:38] pecisk_: iam getting to that right now. [09:39] Squawk, I think I can handle it now.. thanks [09:39] does anyone know how to tell apt-build that it should continue to build world and not to restart the whole process from the first package on? [09:39] crackhead100_: I am very sure that either firmware is lacking (and if it is Belkin USB wifi, then I guess it is Broadcom there), or some settings aren't right, try to tweak them using iwconfig [09:39] simplexio: i ran it for 5 hours. but please join #helparelis if you want to help me [09:39] i allready have 20 channels in mut irssi [09:39] pecisk_: that's not helpful unless you can be a LOT more specific.. [09:39] hi, im in network manager, and i hit unlock then change some stuff, then when it should reload it says "The configuration could not be saved You are not allowed to modify the system configuration" [09:39] Squawk: how do i set it up manually? what do you mean? [09:40] crackhead100_, go to "system, administration, network", click on the wireless interface, and select properties [09:40] sarah__ run networkmanager as sudo [09:40] crackhead100_, I can't because I don't know nor your chipset nor your network settings. I am not magician :) [09:40] crackhead100_, and then give it an ip address on the right subnet, along with the correct netmask and default gw, and see if you can connect that way [09:40] gold44: I will check it, wait a sec [09:40] crackhead100_: thx, but then it wont even let me hit the unlock button :( [09:41] sarah__, what are you trying to change? [09:41] sarah__: it is hardy? this is official stable releases support channel, and yes, I know that bug and it is very nasty [09:41] sarah__: then you dont need to unlock it, you have then right yo use it [09:41] sarah__, if you cant use the gui, open up the config file iteself and change it by hand [09:41] does anyone know how to tell apt-build that it should continue to build world and not to restart the whole process from the first package on? [09:41] he is using hardy with policykit stuff [09:42] i downloaded a file in tar format and it said that file format was not valid ....... files are in which format?????? [09:42] Squawk: put in the password for my wireless [09:42] Squawk: how do i know what the right "subnet" or "Netmask" is, and aren't they the same?? [09:42] neo, tar or tar.gz? [09:42] pecisk: yeah hardy [09:42] Squawk: how do i kno what my gateaway address is, or is that the ip address of the router, as i know it? [09:42] crackhead100_, do you know hte ip address of the router? [09:42] crackhead100_: if you have default its 255.255.255.0 [09:43] simplexio: it wont let me unlock it [09:43] simplexio: yeah, i assume it's all default.. [09:43] how can i install additional desklets??? [09:43] Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or another one? [09:43] sarah__, ok gimme one sec, not quite sure where ubuntu stores the wep password [09:43] sarah__: noidea, i dont have hardy [09:43] neo, get screenlets instead of desklets [09:43] Squawk: thanks [09:43] Squawk: i dont thinkm it worked. was the gateway address the ip of the router? [09:44] how can i get them??? [09:44] it worked before i rebooted [09:44] Squawk: i put 192.168.0.1 which is the ip of the router, but it didn't work.. just tried to ping www.google.com.. unknonw.. nothing.. [09:44] crackhead100_: you dont need it [09:44] neo: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Home [09:44] gateway is hte ip of the router (192.168.1.1 probably), dns server should be the same, netmaks probably 255.255.255.0, and ip address something like 192.168.1.5 [09:44] crackhead100_: you can est if network work pinging your other computer [09:44] crackhead100_: try 192.168.1.1? [09:44] crackhead100_: assuming that you dont have any idiotic firewall isntalled which block icmp [09:44] does anybody know how to import an sql database , [09:44] crackhead100_, if hte router is 192.168.0.1, put your ip address as 192.168.0.5 [09:45] KnightWse, import it into what? [09:45] KnightWse: depends [09:45] simplexio: there's no firewall at all [09:45] crackhead100_, the gateway/dns server both need to be set to your router [09:45] Squawk: I put my pi as ....100... and the router is....1 [09:45] i installed ¨art manager ¨ it starts and exits without any error how can i solve it???? [09:46] squawk : I have an SQL database (LAMP) that holds all of my Joomla records , I would like to move servers and import this SQL database into mysql so i can use it again with Joomla [09:46] Squawk: what about "hosts'? [09:46] KnightWse: mysql or postgresql as db server ? [09:46] sarah__, have a look in /etc/network/interfaces, and see if there is mention of WEP [09:46] simplexio : Mysql [09:46] crackhead100_, you need nothing in hosts [09:47] you need, in the first tab, ip address, netmask and gateway, and in the dns tab, you need a dns server, which is your router ip [09:47] Squawk: yes there is thanks =p [09:47] KnightWse: sudo apt-get install mysql-admin, and you have nice gui for it [09:47] crackhead100_, after that it should work. If it doesnt there is a problem that is not dhcp related but actualy network related [09:47] Squawk: i added the router ip to the dns as well.. [09:47] but I have no gui on that machine [09:47] how do i test if it worked? [09:47] DASPRiD, i installed ¨art manager ¨ it starts and exits without any error how can i solve it???? [09:47] crackhead100_, ping 192.168.0.1 [09:48] if i install a extended partition on a drive, do all partitions have to be in it? [09:48] KnightWse: then install it machine which has GUI, then tell mysql-admin to connect machine whre you have db [09:48] if Ubuntu a BugWare? [09:48] ok :) i'll look [09:48] Squawk: it says desitnation host unreachable.. [09:48] ThreeFingerPete, all partitions after the first 3 [09:48] I daily find serious bugs in any application, wth?

[09:50] the kernel ip routing table is not taking the right destination or gateway info.. it should be 192.168.0.1 or something.. wtf? [09:50] Thanxs Simplecia , Thanx Swuack [09:50] (last time worked after i selected the network from network-admin) Squawk [09:50] when ubutnu will catch up with windows in terms on stability of its programs? [09:50] Squawk: an entry default where?? [09:50] KnightWse: http://www.modwest.com/help/kb6-241.html there, first hit in google [09:51] Thank you :) [09:51] LimCore: :) [09:51] crackhead100_, in route. Ok, try "route add default gw 192.168.0.1" [09:51] simplexio: seriously, how long can one wait :( [09:51] Squawk: and then?

[09:51] meow [09:51] LimCore: can be more specific? :) [09:51] crackhead100_, try pinging it again. If that fails, try restarting the interface [09:51] LimCore: you mean those nice gui progs that help ypu configure system [09:52] Squawk: ping failed. how do i restart? what's the command? [09:52] sarah__, same as crackhead, try restarting the interface [09:52] pecisk_: ubuntu is riddled with tons of bugs. I find bugs daily at least, and I report usually a few weekly. what the .... , windows programs where far more stable [09:52] pecisk_: ok, trivail ftpd is up running on server. on client side, how do i connect to it and download files? [09:52] pecisk_: for specyfic examples, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/ [09:52] crackhead100_, try a go with ifconfig eth1 down, then ifconfig eth1 up (for now) [09:53] pecisk_: sorry, do you mind change your nick to pecisk2 ? underscore give me trouble [09:53] Squawk: ok, restarted. now what? [09:53] ping it again [09:53] crackhead100_: try make broadcast ping, and see if anyone answers [09:53] sarah__, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [09:54] crackhead100_, if that doesnt work, try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" You will lose internet possibly [09:54] did, all it does is says *Reconfiguring network interfaces... [OK] [09:54] LimCore: sounds like theme for #ubuntu-offtopic, but answering you, I report and debug bugs for Ubuntu for three years. Most of platform is very stable. Yes, there are lot of small bugs. But they appear in very strange configurations and situations. There is no Launchpad for WIndows and OS X, and so any comparing is very speculative at best :) [09:54] * domas cries at https://bugs.launchapad.net/ubuntu/+source/findutils/+bug/164484 [09:54] simplexio: i really need the directions to be letter specific. i dont kno how to do that.. [09:54] sarah__, see if it now works? === pecisk_ is now known as pecisk2 [09:54] gold44: sure :) [09:54] connect: Network in unreachable [09:54] crackhead100_: ifconfig, check bcast address then ping -b that address [09:54] sarah__: do you use Hardy? [09:55] Squawk: networking restart doesnt try to dhcp discover [09:55] Squawk: reconfrigured network interfaces.. now what? [09:55] pecisk sure do was the only one i could get to actually run hehe [09:55] sarah__, do you have "dhcp" as part of your /etc/network/interfaces? [09:55] crackhead100_, ping again [09:55] LimCore: well Opera9.5beta2 is only program that i have "problems" [09:55] pecisk2: crash is no small bug [09:55] crackhead100_, always ping, its the best test [09:55] Squawk: still ping fail on 192 168 0 1.. the router ip.. [09:55] unreachable [09:56] simplexio: I have problems with any program I run. and they are often confirmed, so its not my error or hardware problem [09:56] anyone know if lastest stable opera supports flash ? [09:56] sarah__: then please support this bug with comment that you have it too https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193661. It is similar, I have that error message that I can't save settings too, but after that everything I change network-admin drops. [09:56] LimCore: could be more specific? [09:57] Squawk: yes -> audo lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n iface wlan0 inet dhcp \n wireless-key STUFF \n wireless essid linux [09:57] Squawk: you get that? still ping failure. [09:57] pecisk2: today kmail crapped out on me - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/196926 [09:57] crackhead100_, well since we gave your computer an ip address on the right subnet, it has the correct braodcast, you have gateway configured and a dns server (not actualy necessary to ping the touer), and no firewall, then the problem is not in your network settings. So look at your hardware somehow, or double check your settings [09:57] ok, it is KDE [09:57] pecisk2: in last weeks kmail presentet an EPIC FAILURE several other times, mainly when using imap or pgp [09:57] Squawk: "look at my hardware"? i don't kno what to do [09:57] LimCore: that's is not ubuntu problem it's kmail bug, even if ubuntu tracks them [09:57] simplexio: I know [09:57] pecisk ah ok ill try to help that one after i fix mine =p [09:57] crackhead100_, neither do I, we exhuasted all networking possibilities [09:58] LimCore: I very rarely expierence crash on Ubuntu/Gnome these days, can't say anything about KDE or Kmail [09:58] simplexio: I didnt said who fault it was, still Ubuntu is riddled with bugs. as most other distros probably; Therefore my question, when ubuntu/linux world will catch up to windows finally [09:58] sarah__, put "auto" infront of the interface? is audo a typo in here or in the config? [09:58] Squawk: anyone else in here know how to troubleshoot a wireless card? [09:58] simplexio: for end user it makes small difference is it ubuntu project or upstream or pizza guy to be balemed :) [09:58] blamed [09:58] crackhead100_, no clue, im nothing to do with ubuntu devs, I just know my way around linux [09:58] LimCore: such bugs are on Windows, and they aren't main reason for user to decide use or not to use Ubuntu [09:59] pecisk2: no, they are not [09:59] Squawk: if it can see the list of wireless networks avilable in the area, though, shouldnt that mean the card is working??? [09:59] LimCore: dunno are just unlucky, but like i said only annoying bug that i have is opera 9.50beta2 + flash [09:59] LimCore: I would like to see overall Ubuntu quality rise too, but it is matter of doing, than talking [09:59] pecisk2: somehow windows program show much lower amount of bugs in most applications [09:59] LimCore: and i run gnome desktop version [09:59] (except for applications written my M$ itself, like IE) [09:59] LimCore: yes, they are. I am 10 years support guy and I know what I am talking about [09:59] crackhead100_, yes, and since we have established that your network settings are correct, then there is no reason for you not to connect? essid wrong maybe? [09:59] LimCore: then you propably haven't used Windows seriously [10:00] pecisk2: care to show me such epic failure in windows email client? [10:00] LimCore: sure, Outlook Express have been a joke for most of it's existence. Ok, this is offtopic already :) [10:00] Squawk: ah thx might be problem :) should i add audo wlan0 \n before the iface wlan0 inet.... one?> [10:00] pecisk2: TheBat email client showed any bug ZERO times over using it for 2-3 years DAILY. kmail crashed 3 times and show other problems 5 times in last 2 months. [10:00] LimCore: he probably can't, usually those just silently destroy your mail archives and claim everything ok [10:00] pecisk2: I said, except programs by M$ itself [10:00] or just auto on the same line? [10:01] sarah__, yes, but its "auto", not audo [10:01] how about starting by haveing a program that changes wav and midi into ogg in the repositories! [10:01] simplexio: TheBat email client showed any bug ZERO times over using it for 2-3 years DAILY. and I was often using archive it was as it should be. While kmail crashed 3 times and show other problems 5 times in last 2 months. [10:01] LimCore: so why you want use buggy development soft, i have no problems with evolution [10:01] exactly [10:01] sarah__, crackhead100_, I have to go, dentist appointment ;(. pm me ifyou still havnt fixed it, il be back later [10:02] hi, I just updated my computer, and now postgres is not working? do i have to install it again or what ? [10:02] hey all, I installed a LAMP stack in 7.04 to use PHP Point of sale system, but since then I can't enter my gmail account...anyone has an idea of why? [10:02] DASPRiD, i installed ¨art manager ¨ it starts and exits without any error how can i solve it???? [10:02] well I like kmail better [10:02] if kmail is such an epic failure, it should be kicked out of ubuntu [10:02] or ubuntu should ask: this software is a frigging epic FAILURE with not QA team at all, are you shure you want to install this crap [ ]yes [x]no [10:02] LimCore: ding ding. you are using ubuntu linux distro now, you can choose ewhat you use, dont like evolution, try kmail, it's buggy, fix it, wait someone to fix it, or change to another client [10:03] Squawk: omg THANKS SO MUCH worked [10:03] Is somebody here known with multi duo videocards? [10:03] your amazing [10:03] LimCore: maybe then just go out and report those bugs, pressure devs, etc. to fix those bugs which irrigate you? You are geek (I presume), so improve quality of Kmail and Ubuntu. Don't bitch. Don't moan. It won't help anyone :) [10:03] pecisk2: I do it [10:03] sarah__: what did you do to get things to work?? [10:03] LimCore: nice then :) [10:04] perhaps I should make a page about crappy programs. [10:04] like... krap.org [10:04] why? ;) [10:04] I've got an USB hard drive (Seagate FreeAgent), and it keeps dying on me with the dmesg output found here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57802/ (basically, IO errors and device D/C) -- anyone have any idea why and any suggestions on how to fix it? [10:04] most bugs seem to be in K applications somehow [10:04] LimCore: you can complain that M$ dosenät fix problems, you can whine that adobe dosn't fix bug in their products, after all you have paid for them [10:04] but then I use K apps the most [10:04] sarah__: what did you do to get things to work?? [10:04] LimCore: which version of Ubuntu you use? [10:04] LimCore: Kde3.5 or 4 in use ? [10:04] simplexio: for the last time, EXCEPT programs by M$ [10:04] simplexio: current 7.10 amd64 [10:04] amd64? [10:04] yes [10:04] crackhead100_: i didnt fix the GUI problem, but i manually edited /etc/network/interfaces and then did the /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:04] 64-bit version? [10:04] yeees [10:05] i run 32bit on amd64 and no problems [10:05] it is known to be much less stable as 32bit [10:05] i added auto wlan0 before the iface wlan0 line [10:05] well i run 64bit and lots of [10:05] i installed ¨art manager ¨ it starts and exits without any error how can i solve it???? [10:05] !nick [10:05] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [10:05] LimCore: you have more that 4G RAM [10:05] simplexio: not yet [10:05] sarah__: that's even more complicated.. can you pastebin.ca.. what your interfaces document looks like?? [10:06] 32bit is so 1990's [10:06] LimCore: then it should be pretty much same to run it much more stable 32-bit [10:06] 64 bit is so immature === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [10:06] 48-bit? [10:06] 64b may run faster as it uses all registers [10:06] he [10:06] afair, no? [10:06] not really that much faster [10:07] x2 more registers can be epic speedup probably [10:07] yes, it should. But it is more error prone, because lot of apps use 32-bit way of thinking [10:07] Is there a way to make the archive manager open .ace files? ;o [10:07] apps need to be 64 bit written [10:07] LimCore: or calculate it this way 32-bit no problems, 64-bit bit faster, but you gonna have come problems [10:07] ere4si: only if the developers where brain dead [10:07] bonjour y'a til un français s'il vous plait [10:07] it's the kiss principle [10:07] LimCore: unfortunately, not all devs are that perfect [10:08] phh... what's up with windows live? I block cookies by default and add exceptions to sites I choose. But windows live is demanding that I enable cookies globally. It must be using some hidden urls or something? In addition to just being 'windowsish'. [10:08] like we saw when local root exlpoit hit linux kernel .17->.24 were affected [10:08] ArthurArchnix: it uses shit domains like passport.net and such probably [10:09] Can anyone help me get my wireless network card working??? [10:09] wols: Yeah... ok, well, I'm gonna go ask in the windows forum. I'll try to blend in.. :) [10:09] pecisk2: strange, somehow my code doesnt care 32 or 64b [10:09] "detlef@MD97600:~$ echo "All your bases are belong to us" | festival --tts; WARNING; No default voice found in ("/usr/share/festival/voices/") either no voices unpacked or voice-path is wrong; Scheme interpreter will work, but there is no voice to speak with. WARNING: EST Error: {FND} Feature Token_Method not defined." How can I unpack 'voices'? [10:09] LimCore: what you code ? [10:09] 64b \o/ [10:09] LimCore: well, how complex it is? Because mail client IS complex code [10:10] pecisk2: simmilar level of complexity, just x50 times less. but the principle is same [10:10] LimCore: mail clients is one of those apps for which user expects them to load gigabytes information in matter of secs, index in matter of secs, show all headers, scroll faster, etc. [10:10] pecisk2: other programs are bugridden too [10:11] even psi, a trivial jabber IM is broken [10:11] I would use other IM client... but they are all broken [10:11] LimCore: it is officially supported? [10:11] pecisk2: ? [10:11] LimCore: Pidgin, Gossip are broken? [10:11] which command can I use to rename all my .JPG files to .jpg? [10:11] LimCore: it is supported by Cannonical? [10:11] pecisk2: gossip is not really usable yet, pidgin is broken [10:11] pecisk2: dunno, how to check [10:11] hi all. I did an apt-get upgrade on feisty, and now the update manager no longer says there's a new release available. Any idea how to get it back so I can do the automatic upgrade? [10:11] LimCore: Pidgin is broken, in what way? [10:11] bullgard4: you install one of the festvox-* packages [10:12] my sources.list is all feisty... [10:12] pecisk2: it crashed time or two, and it fails to support openpgp [10:12] how do i install a theme? [10:12] is there a ftp client for gnome that doesn't crash? gftp just dies on me half way through a copy operation [10:13] simmerz: filezilla? [10:13] simmerz: no [10:13] simmerz: ubuntu is bugridden [10:13] LimCore: thanks for your amazingly insightful help === paniang is now known as cim_pui [10:13] simmerz: for real software, buy something written by real developers, that work for money [10:13] LimCore: o_O. Never had problems with pgp or crashing. Using Pidgin all the time [10:13] Am looking for a program that can check SHA checksum on files. Please advice [10:13] alot of ubuntu developers are paid money [10:14] canonical has inhouse staff [10:14] simmerz: I had the same problem. gftp->crashing junk (is that way since 2 years), krusader->crashing [10:14] LimCore: gFTP != Ubuntu [10:14] because I can't change the caps for the compiz cube if I don't have .jpg files. So how do I mass-rename my .JPG files? [10:14] remember that [10:14] pecisk2: so how do you enable pgp in pidgin exacly? [10:14] simmerz: ok let me take notes [10:14] * LimCore notes that groundbraking information [10:15] groundbreaking even [10:15] grüessed euch [10:16] Blinkiz: sha1sum filename in console [10:16] sofiankr1: man rename [10:16] LimCore: Thank you [10:16] pecisk2: so how do you enable pgp in pidgin exacly then? [10:17] LimCore: if you want that kmail just work send few thousand euros to dev and ask politely :) then they probably have more time to work with your problems [10:17] simplexio: any command to use with mv? something like mv *.JPG *.jpg (although it doesn't work!) [10:17] LimCore: checking it on another box, wait a sec [10:17] having feisty there [10:17] rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * [10:17] simplexio: in communist russia, 1 person pays 10000 usd [10:17] in capitalism, 10000 people pay 1 usd [10:17] I think ubuntu may need simmilar model [10:17] Hehe.. so I ask in #windows about why I can't whitelist windowslive, why it requires cookies to be enabled globally to use, first and only response so far is classic windows mentality: (12:11:20) Uatec: i don't get why people get so up tight about cookies. cookies never hurt anyone. [10:18] I would surly pay 1 usd.. or 5 usd for working kmail... not 5000 ;) [10:18] LimCore: it's happening right now. ibm and other big linux users pay devs to implement stuff that they need [10:18] eh, #ubuntu is the top channel of freenode :D [10:18] LimCore: just supporting bug with nice backtraces would be fine [10:18] http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode [10:18] pecisk2: I do all the time [10:18] pecisk2: then I wait and waaaaaaaaaait... and nothing [10:18] stdin: I installed festvox-kallpc16k. Ubuntu utters now the sentence "All your bases are belonging to us" with an long-lasting echo so that is is barely comprehnsible. [10:18] LimCore: you're welcome to donate [10:19] sofiankr1: that rename i paste changes all files to lower case [10:19] ArthurArchnix: if you want to get rid of your cookies, send them to me! My nickname is the 'Cookies Monster' [10:19] #wireless-fr [10:19] sofiankr1: you can offcourse try rename 's/\.JPG/\.jpg/' *.JPG [10:19] i installed ¨art manager ¨ it starts and exits without any error how can i solve it???? [10:19] Is there a way for me to password a folder so that I have to type in the access code/pwd just like when I update the pc before the folder is viewable/accessible ? [10:19] Squawk, could you tell me again what I needed to write to mount my disc partition? ..I lost the log [10:19] simplexio: thanks! [10:20] sofiankr1: also try FAQ from #bash on file renaming. also mmv (not mv) program [10:20] hello [10:20] sofiankr1: also krusader file command have rename tool [10:20] i have a question regarding using ubuntu 7.10 with an HP Compaq 8510w and an external monitor [10:20] sofiankr1: also try man perlfaq6, you can doo allkinds fun stuff with regexp [10:21] LimCore: and I'm also looking for a way to say... rename all my pictures from whatever they are currently to "Picture 1.jpg" "Picture 2.jpg" etc... [10:21] anyone ? [10:21] sofiankr1: ask #bash [10:21] Ximal: yes [10:21] LimCore: I didn't realize they had a channel! Thanks! [10:21] Ximal: make a LUCAS encrypted filesystem and mount it [10:21] happy linuxing! [10:21] bye [10:21] how might i go about putting password access to view or use/operate within a folder ? [10:21] when i'm closing the lid the laptop just hangs [10:22] Ximal: make a LUCAS encrypted filesystem and mount it [10:22] sofiankr1: that command i gived changes all ooo.JPG -> ooo.jpg etc [10:22] umm.... dunno how to do that limcore .. mind showing/teaching me ? pls sir ? [10:22] rares_ubuntu: ubuntu is bug ridden, it may be a bug related to power managmnet, report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug [10:23] ok, LimCore, i'll fill in a bug [10:23] Ximal: I will write article about it soon. what is your email? [10:23] rares_ubuntu: sounds like acpi problem [10:23] Ximal: or just check limcore.com/learn/ around tommorow or so [10:24] it's very interesting that if i'm using the laptop without the external monitor [10:24] i have no problem [10:24] anyone know of a useful tool that will tell you what files are duplicated on your filesystem? I need to do some pruning... [10:24] oh ok... thank u much limcore [10:24] ndlovu: in one dir? [10:24] ndlovu: writting bash script that would use sha1sums seems quite easy [10:24] i can close and reopen the lid and it's still working [10:24] LimCore, well, within subdirectories at least [10:25] rares_ubuntu: include that to bug report [10:26] i'm filling the bug report right now [10:26] rares_ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/21440 [10:26] Finally got here. lol. [10:26] rares_ubuntu: meybe that helps [10:26] Anyone know how to get my sound working? I'm on an acer aspire. === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [10:29] rares_ubuntu: one way to "fix" problem is add acpi=off to kernel boot parameters [10:29] what do you mean by "fix"? [10:30] rares_ubuntu: http://magicrobotmonkey.blogspot.com/2007/10/gutsy-laptop-lid-tweak.html theres another fix [10:32] simplexio, i'm trying the fix now [10:33] why does the resolution changer in gnome not use the resolutions i put into my xorg.conf? [10:34] aca, how did you put the resolutions into the xorg.conf? [10:35] combat: the right way, i've been using the same one xorg.conf for a few years [10:35] i had the same problem and i've only added the maximum resolution to xorg.conf (1680x1050) [10:36] how can i use my internet connection as a hub so that i can wire it to another computer and share the internet through this first connected computer??? === flowOver is now known as flowIdle [10:36] but in gnome i can choose very much resolutions up to 1024x768 [10:37] combat: it actually sets the right res, the refresh rate what's wrong [10:37] !ops stdin | narc [10:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ops stdin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:37] crackhead100, I use a four port router for that [10:37] LongKat: ?

[10:38] stdin called ops on him before and he did that same thing [10:40] crackhead100_: google transparent bridge, ubuntu internet conenction sharing, ubuntu NAT, and so on [10:41] Hello. I want to install ubuntu on desktop, but I don't want neither gnome, kde and xfce. === visi_ is now known as visik7 [10:41] crackhead100_: there is so many ways to do it [10:41] rush2: use the !alternate CD, and select "install a command line system" [10:41] Is there some true way to install ubuntu with openbox desktop for example ? [10:42] !alternate CD [10:42] 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 [10:42] rush2: then install openbox afterwards [10:42] ok [10:42] whate to get Alternate CD ? [10:42] !minimal [10:42] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:42] ok [10:42] crackhead100_: firestarter had place to put cross if you want to share connection [10:43] Hm, not really closely Ubuntu-related, but has got to do with me wanting a dual-boot system (XP/Ubuntu) [10:43] Could someone recommend a Ext2 or ext3 driver for WinXP? [10:43] I found several on Wikipedia already [10:43] cornixx: fs-driver.org works okay. Closed-source though. [10:44] but don't know which one is the best :D [10:44] ok, thx :D [10:44] Isn't there any ext3 driver? [10:44] or will it work with ext3? :O [10:45] cornixx: why you want access to linux partiotions ? [10:45] lol [10:45] it will work with ext3, but as if it were ext2, I think. (ie, you won't journal from Windows) [10:45] yeah, just read that [10:45] cornixx: ext2-fs [10:45] simplexio: Just the /home dir [10:45] not the system itself [10:45] so I can access files from one another [10:47] Wondering how much I'll use Ubuntu on my Desktop. On my laptop i haven't used WinXP in ages [10:47] :D [10:48] I got sick of climbing through windows - linux = doors :) [10:49] well, it's a gaming machine and Linux isn't the best gaming platform (yet) [10:49] well, half gaming half work [10:50] What I really like about Ubuntu is that I don't have to google for the software I need most of the time [10:50] I just pull it from the repository and it works fine [10:50] lots of games are ported to linux [10:51] on my last machine it ran slow as hell [10:51] ere4si, but not enough yet [10:51] indeed [10:51] we need native linux games [10:51] Due to lagging sales, Microsoft is cutting the price of Vista by 48% [10:51] :) [10:51] patcience - they'll come :) [10:51] also: For my Core 2 Quad I need the 64 bit Ubuntu, right? :O [10:51] nope [10:52] how ,uch visva costs now ? [10:52] too much ! [10:52] cornixx: you dont need 64bit , but you can install 64bit [10:52] !ot [10:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:52] Hi [10:52] cornixx: thought 32bit is more stable, and if you try wine it's probably better option [10:52] 299 euro for business full [10:52] ok [10:52] so I'l halting the download [10:53] So, I've pretty much got gutsy setup to my liking now. What I want to do is create a new user account that I can use sudo with, in case I need to make changes or something, and then remove sudo from my user account so that I become just a normal everyday kinda guy, with no hidden superpowers or anything. Like in Superman II (though, Clark came to regret it I think). Anyway, I'm creating the new user now, what's the differenc [10:53] I've got a problem under Xubuntu, with quodlibet (and dbus hotkeys) [10:53] 64 bit is more for mem management over 4g [10:53] just got 2 Gig :D [10:53] it worked, but i uninstalled a few packages, without any problem in dependencies, and now Quodlibet doesn't recognize my hotkeys anymore [10:53] ArthurArchnix, remove current user from the admin group [10:53] "DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service file" [10:54] hi, is 8.04 stable for desktop use? [10:54] ArthurArchnix: system->admin->users&groups [10:54] ere4si: Yeah... I will, but not before I setup a second account that has admin group privelages. :) [10:54] unfortunately, i don't know which package is supposed to interact with the dbus system, in xfce [10:54] simplexio, i tried the script for the laptop lid, but it doesn't work. I have this problem only when i have an external monitor connected to my laptop, through VGA [10:54] I need at least one. [10:54] great ArthurArchnix [10:54] I just don't want to run it on a daily basis. [10:54] Anyone has a clue ? [10:54] ere4si, if that is the case, what is special about 64 bit cpus? that they can address more ram? that seems a bit shaky, doesn't it? [10:54] ArthurArchnix, that's how I run the os [10:54] rares_ubuntu: how about nmi_watchdog=0 to kernel boot parameters ? [10:55] ere4si: I found my answer. I want to create a new administrator account. Then change mine to a desktop user. [10:55] trying right now [10:55] SleepingSloth, until the devs start writing the apps with 64 bit in mind there's not much point [10:56] ArthurArchnix, I used the first user setup for admin then created a new one with limited rights - similar [10:57] time to log into the new sudo account and see if it works. Then, remove my super powers from my daily account. ere4si yeah... I've never done this before... but I just finished reinstalling after borking my system by editing files with gksudo nautilus. [10:58] ere4si, what about the different instruction set - only useful when an app is written to take advantage of it? [10:58] ArthurArchnix, the power is intoxicating - care is needed! [10:58] ArthurArachnix: You mean gksudo Kryptonite? :D [10:59] how do I send emails using my gmail account on thunderbird? [10:59] i'm trying to use smtp but I never manage to send emails [11:00] SleepingSloth: until enough people are using 64 bit the apps won't be written 64 bit - until there are enough users on 64 bit the apps won't be written 64 bit [11:00] wers: dunno about thunderbird, but there is howto about evolution and google mail, not sure was toy client mentioned there [11:01] hi [11:01] hello [11:01] i need some help === Num43|Sleep is now known as Num43 [11:01] i thnk, i'm not using the right port or secure connection [11:01] i'm totaly new to the unbuto [11:01] SleepingSloth, * reverse that last comment :) [11:01] anyway i installed it to my laptop [11:02] wers: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13285&disablechatbrowsercheck=1 [11:02] the thing is that im having problems with booting [11:02] the ftp accounts give access to the whole file system from / even though the passwd file states the home dir for the users are /home/ [11:02] it's wont open [11:03] simplexio, followed that but I still cant send [11:03] any ideas [11:03] ikaro: you need to chroot your ftp then somehow [11:03] i'm on gutsy, btw [11:03] simplexio, where i can find the file for kernel boot parameters? [11:04] ere4si: I feel... different. I just ran, sudo apt-get update and nothing happened. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf too, did nothing. I feel.. free. :) [11:04] wers: port 587 is the only for delivery to gmail [11:04] rares_ubuntu: is on the grub manu.lst file [11:04] wols, is it necessary to chroot the accounts by defaults? im using puire-ftpd ... never experienced this before on other distros...

[11:06] yep. mine works fine with evolution too. i just want to use thunderbird instead [11:06] nevermind .. i remember its called repository ---- [11:07] sound like something you put in your but [11:07] crackhead100_: are you sure that dhclient works with your dhcp server? I've had problems with it in the past [11:07] crackhead100_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-343667.html [11:07] ahh ppp connections and the like. ok. All is well [11:07] gcj: dhclient as opposed to what? [11:07] :-D [11:07] crackhead100_: pump or dhcpcd [11:07] hi [11:07] why are there so many crackheads in this forum? [11:08] makes nick completion difficult [11:08] gcj: and which do you recommend, and what's the differnece, and what was your problem, and how should i go about doing this? [11:08] simplexio: i read that forum thread. it didn't help. [11:08] is it safe to upgrade the linux kernel on ubuntu 7.10 ? (2.6.22- to 2.6.24) [11:08] crackhead100_: i can't recommend one or the other, just that not all of them work with all dhcp servers [11:08] has anyone been using the those huawei or vodafone usb modem? === cornixx is now known as cornix [11:08] pnngl: if you know howto compile kernel right :) [11:08] but networkmanager may restrict your choices to whatever supports DBUS [11:09] BadRobot: i used a huawei one with edgy, worked for me [11:09] wers: gmail has a nice tutorial how to configure thunderbird. follow it [11:09] pnngl: It's safe to apply the updates from Ubuntu. As long as you haven't added any other repositories, or ubuntu backports, you should think of updates just like you used to think of windows updates. Which is to say, install them when they're available. [11:09] simplexio: not really, no. but I have some VPN issues that seem to need the latest kernel. [11:09] ikaro, you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file and put a # (called a comment) in front of the line with the cd in it [11:09] hi all, when i install the nagios-nrpe-server package on dapper, I don't get any config files or initscript, even though they're listed in the package with dpkg -L they simply don't exist on the filesystem. what gives? [11:09] wols. followed it. i just dont know what went wrong [11:09] gcj: i just tried to run synaptic, and it said.. cannot load.. failed to run xauthorization.. do you kno how to fix this?? [11:09] pnngl: If you're talking about upgrading it yourself, then no. It's not safe. [11:09] crackhead100_, no [11:10] crackhead100_: run it under sudp. use gksu [11:10] ArthurArchnix: didn't know I could do that in an automated way. does synaptic takes care of it? [11:10] pnngl: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu , i make and install ubuntu kernel that way. work fine [11:10] Is it a bad idea to cancel a partition resize? My 500GB ext hdd will take another 93 hours to complete!? [11:10] is there any light pps wiever avaiable? [11:11] hi, I just got postgres 8.3, noticed that it connects only on port 5433 and not 5432 like the other ones, anyway all is fine except that php is trying to connect to it at 5432 and not 5433? how to solve that? [11:11] pnngl: Sure. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade applies all available updates. Ubuntu is configured to apply them or notify you by default. [11:12] mono: just leave it on... u can do stuff while it's sizing.. just not everything.. [11:12] pale-yafa: edit postgresql.conf [11:12] mono : or you can make 4 or 5 multiples ... 100 each and then merge them later when you have time ;) [11:12] monomaniacpat, I wouldn't risk it - must be an old comp? [11:12] simplexio: to 5432?? [11:12] simplexio: can't go to your link for now, my vpn is going mad. ArthurArchnix: thanks a lot, I'll do that. [11:12] Ximal: just worried about a power outage or something [11:13] The comp is about 1.5ghz [11:13] ere4si, yes thank you, i found it on google after I remembered that its called repository [11:13] are they frequent .. the power outage ? [11:13] k [11:13] :> [11:13] Occassional. once a month or two, maybe [11:13] ikaro, still sounds funny :) [11:13] can someone please help me for a few minutes? [11:13] then it should be safe... worse case.. u have to start over.. [11:13] pale-yafa: ye. if it's free [11:13] what's up inverse ? [11:14] pale-yafa: or you can configure php to coonect 5433 [11:14] I was just using windows xp pro and I got a bsod, first time in 10 years [11:14] then why are you here , sir ? [11:14] !windows [11:14] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [11:14] we're linux.. not windows.. [11:14] Ximal: when you say "worst case I'll have to start over" does that mean that cancelling or power out would not damage the hdd? [11:14] windows wont boot and i had to mess around to get ubuntu to boot from another drive [11:14] won't damage if u use the live cd mono... but there's a chance it could hurt it.. but i've never had it hurt it.. [11:15] now ALL my 500GB SATA drives are showing as 59.6GB and containing NOTHING [11:15] Like I said.. do the safe thing.. format 100 gigs at a time... then you'll be safe to merge them later.. [11:15] thx gcj [11:15] anyone? [11:15] thanks [11:16] ere4si, any suggestion to have an ftp up and running in 10 seconds? [11:16] simplexio: have they changed the port in 8.3? or what is the deal? [11:16] ere4si, this pure-ftpd configuration its nuts .. why cant i have a conf file like everywhere else.. [11:17] ikaro, never done an ftp server/client/anything - sorry [11:17] please anyone? it looks like 2TB of data has vanished [11:17] is there any light pps wiever avaiable? [11:18] dreamscene for ubuntu [11:18] inversekinetix, try mounting them with the live cd and seeing how they read [11:18] OR ROCKETDOCK FOR UBUNTU [11:18] !caps | pawan [11:18] pawan: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [11:18] how can i remount them from the installation I have now? [11:19] ere4si [11:20] gorski : pptview ? [11:20] gorski : Have you tried pptview? [11:20] no [11:20] can I have a source that reads "deb ftp://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse" or do they need to be on separate lines? [11:20] inversekinetix: aren't they showing as 59G and empty in ubuntu? [11:20] gorski : it is available in the multiverse repository.. [11:21] so there is maybe and doc and xls wievers also? gopodge [11:21] did you need to install anything? or it just worked out-of-box? [11:21] gcj [11:23] gorski : it looks like they are using Wine to provide pptview functionality. [11:23] gorski : Will OpenOffice not work for you? [11:24] it works, but it tooks long to load [11:24] Is 'Festival' the major Ubuntu text to speech program, or is there another one? [11:25] gorski : abiword can open .doc files.. [11:26] ok, but i thought it would be nice just to view them, not to edit them! [11:26] goski : quite a few requests like yours on the internet.. [11:27] gorski : maybe you can load the Microsoft DOC,XLS,PPT viewers into Wine.. and view that way? [11:28] is there way to limit firefox bandwithd? [11:28] we have two comps in our house and when i play and other computer surfs my ping is sky high [11:29] mostly when beeing on flash site with firefox [11:29] Lartza_: maybe. i know only way to limit specified port speed [11:29] on winblows [11:29] yes maybe, but ppsview is enough for now, thank you! [11:29] in firefox? [11:29] then i could limit port 80 [11:29] Lartza_: no. not from firefox : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7990.html [11:30] it wont work then [11:30] *Lartza_* i m not sure about this... try to find some extensions :) [11:30] ere4si: yes thats what theyre showing in ubuntu [11:30] Search in extensions section [11:31] Lartza_: but you need ubuntu(or generic linux distro) as router with that solution [11:31] what's the shotrcut for redo if ctrl+what? [11:31] Lartza : Try using Trickle.. http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle [11:31] inversekinetix, then you may have altered the partitions with the bsod - the ubuntu live cd is a check only [11:32] i need to limit windows computers bandwithd and thought that could be easily done form firefox(for firefox only of coures) but it seems hrad [11:33] gopodge: Trickle for windows? [11:33] Lartza_: What about Firefox Throttle for Windows? http://www.uselessapplications.com/en/Application/FirefoxThrottle.aspx [11:33] thx ill try [11:36] is that throttle safe gopodge / [11:36] ?

[11:55] kalatian: Ahh, thank you [11:55] though, agreed, flash sucks on amd64 [11:55] is there a way to install the ubuntu theme into say a different linux distro? [11:55] ere4si: thanks for replying earlier, I have managed to get access to my data [11:55] achilles616: you can use sabayon and then steal the compressed archive it creates and uncompress it on your target system [11:56] inversekinetix, how did you do it pls - may help others :) [11:56] i know it sounds complicated, but sabayon runs a mini-gnome for you, so what you see _is_ what you get :) [11:56] inversekinetix : backup your data on flash ... disc of some kind... be it bluray or dvd r ... and another hd for firm backing up of your data.. [11:56] i forgot the specifics of where the archive is kept, i want to say it's in /tmp or /var/tmp [11:56] else be it lose like that again..

[12:37] i know you smart linux ppl can answer that one [12:37] lakeoftea, it depends on a number of factors [12:37] *how come . . . [12:37] Squawk: ok. well i will not run ubuntu. but gentoo. but i will do it from a ubuntu cd :) thanks for the help :) [12:37] squawk : shoot [12:37] lakeoftea, that's easy. The further a packet goes, the harder it becomes to get back. So then it might get lost. (in a nutshell ... it's rather complicated to explain it all) [12:37] lakeoftea, some routers/servers on the router will be actively setup to block pings. Others run operating systems that send the ping back but with a ttl of 1, which means it never reaches you. In both cases, you get no response [12:38] only ubuntu can support compiz-fusion ? ? ? [12:38] duckly, gentoo is the same [12:38] "it might get lost" ? that must be the worst explanation yet ;) [12:38] ahhhhhhhhhhh [12:38] LoLLo: no [12:38] duckly, I run gentoo also (why are you asking this in #ubuntu), and I know the gentoo livecd is perfectly capable of a grub re-install [12:38] Slart, yeah ... it's far from perfect ... but i couldn't think of a better one :p besides, it's not certain it'll get lost :-) [12:38] so people deliberately set their servers up so they won't return pings [12:38] Squawk, you know supergrub can do that as well? [12:39] never heard of supergrub [12:39] so that's probably why my traceroute to some asian sountry got shot down early, b.c. of that damn firewall of china ??? [12:39] they censored my ass ?? [12:39] lakeoftea, can be many reasons [12:39] lakeoftea, of traceroute bbc.co.uk, you will not get a complete result [12:39] do they do that to protect themselves maybe? [12:39] Squawk, it's a 3 meg cd image that can you boot of ... can restore windows mbr, linux mbr, combinations ... basically every possibility for grub is in there ... and it even contains screen to screen help texts [12:40] newbie can do it :-) [12:40] Squawk: gentoo livecd crashes on my hardware, but ubuntu works :) [12:40] lakeoftea, put my name in posts if you want me to see it, so my nick gets highlighted. And not protection, just the way some routers work [12:40] does my launchpad account not work for ubuntu brainstrorm? [12:40] duckly, lol.

[12:45] the modem is detected dials but connection isn't not established squawk [12:45] lakeoftea, if you wanna run irc remotely, use a combination of ssh, screen and irssi [12:45] end [12:45] bella, configuration (username password etc) correct?

[13:07] ere4si, putting a $ infront of any set of letters means you are accessing a variable. So think of your $PATH as being a variable and you will remember. To understand, try a=1; echo "$a" [13:07] Agion, you need to be much more verbose than that [13:08] Dr_willis: what is casper. so toram doesnt work :-\ [13:08] Squawk, it was a matter of lack of use and being awake for 22 hrs :) [13:09] hi guys.

[13:10] LoLLo - i like :) [13:10] Agion, you need to define lagging more clearly [13:10] yeee thx ! [13:10] the whole system i think [13:11] There might be a way to have a portion of the disk dedicated to livecd ? is there? [13:11] Agion, run "top", and see whats using your resources [13:11] its y'now, like when I open a window it takes 30 secs from it to open.. [13:11] yea... just install ubuntu [13:11] I think there is such a think in Knoppix [13:11] top at console? [13:11] Squawk: i think u are wrong...

What you are after is 2 different bits of software [13:20] Squawk: I believe Exchange SBS does it ;P [13:20] Magilla, you want something like fetchmail to get mail off a pop serer, and then something like qmail or sendmail to act as another mail server [13:21] squawk how can i know the required codec>? [13:21] ah [13:21] pico and squawk... and idee how can this possible...? [13:21] alsadk, google im afraid [13:21] th x [13:21] alsadk: what file format [13:21] Lightmans, eitehr you recompiled a kernel and missed something in the config, or else got the wrong file when you installed [13:21] for kafeine [13:21] for watching tv [13:22] alsadk you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed ?

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [13:23] Magilla, there may well be software out there that does that function taht I am not aware of, but if there is then it is more than just a mail server. I never used exchange [13:23] as i configured the .config in activate the athlon64/opteron/k8 [13:23] Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 [13:24] is this not the right processior family for a AMD cpu x2 4800+ ?

[13:24] Magilla: squawk is right. the fetchmail is the place to start since it gets from a pop server, but you still need an imapd server. It does involve a little bit of work. If you just want to use imap instead of pop you could consider a gmail account. [13:24] ts saying it cant open wacom [13:25] hi, is anyone here to whom I can report a problem with website?

[13:32] Tu13es, yes, /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:32] :P [13:33] Tu13es, not as far as i know, but you can use the command line *points at PriceChild* or get one via synaptic [13:33] I installed another distro and am trying to figure out the easiest way to add that distro to my grub conf [13:33] !ubotu | Squawk [13:33] Tu13es, copy the entries from that distro's grub configuration file into ubutnu's [13:34] PriceChild doesn't grub have option for autodetection of those?

Tu13es you might find that useful. [13:38] Tu13esm, mount the partioin on which your old grub resides, and copy the info? [13:38] Tu13es, man mount [13:38] PriceChild: gotcha. [13:38] yep [13:39] Gizmo431: you could try stopping gdm and starting X manually from a virtual terminal.

However the login screen's res is STILL too high. Is there a way I can set the res of that login screen? [13:40] short of installing the tool one would use to "skin" GNOME? [13:40] test3r, you can set resolution in xorg.conf, which should sort it [13:41] test3r: you could remove modes you don't want from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

[13:49] kah0s: then install xserver-xgl [13:50] !yay | __mikem [13:50] __mikem: Glad you made it! :-) [13:50] Blice: using samba? [13:50] Because I've been trying to join this windows domain for the past couple of days, and to make matters worse, I can't use my root password anymore... [13:50] Yeah, bazhang. === co_hUjaN is now known as cover [13:51] ,l [13:51] nk, [13:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently Blice have you seen this? [13:51] PriceChild: I copied the line from my other distro's menu.lst, but when I boot to it I get disk not found, hrm [13:52] cover you have a support question? [13:52] Meh, I don't need the shared folders. I just need to be a part of the local domain here. [13:52] !flash > mohbana [13:52] poo [13:52] And I don't know how I messed up my root password with this [13:52] bazhang: will do that now thx [13:52] Blice, can't use root password? [13:52] Yeah [13:52] Blice, use sudo? [13:52] Nope. [13:52] Won't work. [13:52] should be sudo [13:53] The password is wrong for some reason [13:53] ~flash [13:53] how do i install flash [13:53] for firefox mb_? [13:53] Blice, you do log in as your user with a password ... and when you type sudo ls it just ... tells you it's wrong? you do know you have to type your password right?

[13:54] I know, hischild. I can't use synaptic, I can't use root terminal, I can't user sudo; [13:54] mb_: install the flash plugin nonfree [13:54] Blice, well first things first : your password :p [13:54] When it asks me for my password, it says it's wrong. [13:54] Hi, Iève this problem : when I open synaptic it asks to run dpkg --configure -a , I I do this (with sudo) I get an error [13:54] esox: you need to pastebin the error you receive [13:54] esox what error [13:54] Blice, alright ... [13:55] :( [13:55] "Sorry, try again" [13:55] >:( [13:55] Blice, you can use sudo without password ... after you edit the file that handles permissions ... [13:55] Sigh. But can I edit that file without root access? [13:56] Blice, please tell me you didn't disable recovery mode? [13:56] I should still have recovery mode. [13:56] jrib: bazhang : http://pastebin.com/m79759687 [13:56] Blice: single user mode or with a livecd you should be able to edit the sudoers file. [13:57] Blice, then boot into recovery mode, when you get your prompt type visudo ... you ahve to add a new line ... Blice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD (mind the blanks, there's 2 total) [13:57] Blice, if your user is named blice ofcourse :-) [13:57] It is :] [13:57] Blice, .... woops ... forgot the brackets [13:57] Blice, nvm ... ti's correct ... [13:57] So I put.... [13:58] what is needed by the box to send mails? [13:58] Blice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD [13:58] ? [13:58] brice NOPASSWD=NOPASSWD: ALL [13:58] sorry .. missed that last one .. had to check it [13:58] I would think you'd put Blice ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [13:58] waylandbill, yeah ... i did that of the top of my head ... and missed the last one [13:59] Okay, so, "blice ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" [13:59] Got it. [13:59] Blice, correct [13:59] test3r: sorry sorry [13:59] I'll do this in a minute, but before I do, do you have any suggestions for joining the domain? [13:59] Are there any errors in the conf files I pasted? [13:59] test3r: i gave you a wrong instruction [13:59] no idea ? [13:59] Blice, atm no ... [13:59] Blice, but i'll look around :-) [13:59] :( [13:59] Arg [14:00] So, the file I need to edit, is sudoers? [14:00] hischild bazhang tell me what is missing? [14:00] hi [14:00] last question, when i enable my ati x700 driver and try to enable desktop effects my pc freezes after a while and i can't hibernate the laptop. please help [14:00] Where's that file located? [14:00] hischild bazhang tell me what is missing? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57811/ [14:00] idyllic > s'OK I wanted that LoadBar changed too ! :D BUT I changed XORG.CONF and the lines went away. No More Res Problem! Now I have a slick-as-greased-lard box to use. [14:00] even if it doesnt have 'the cube', i can still do a lot with this. it's basically a workhorse box anyway. [14:00] alsadk, run ./configure, not autogen [14:01] hischild bazhang but autogen on instructions [14:01] test3r: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under Section "Screen", SubSection "Display" , set Modes "1024x768" as the first entry.. so ur login screen will use 1024x768 [14:01] alsadk, what are you trying to compile? [14:02] idyllic > yes thats basically what i did. i just removed the "too large" of setting that was the first setting [14:02] So, how do I get into recovery mode? [14:02] test3r: glad to hear, sorry for the wrong info also >.< [14:02] hischild bazhang gyachi [14:02] =) *Kodak Moment* I love u guys. =D [14:02] hahahahaha I love the SCENE. [14:03] .mg. [14:03] While using GG, when I open a window that I usually have maximized, it will open with the right-hand part of the window about 20 pixels or so off the workspace. Anyone know why that is? [14:03] hello [14:03] bluewraith > do you have compizfusion Enabled (up and going?) [14:03] somebody can help me ? [14:04] test3r, yes [14:04] alsadk, did you notice that bazhang isn't responding? you can stop adding his name. [14:04] bluewraith > just "pull & shake" the window down, then maximize it. and dont touch its "min,norm,max" controls at that point [14:04] OH [14:04] hischild did u know gyachi? [14:04] after that then too [14:05] alsadk, no i'll take a look [14:05] goto Save Session if its an app that comes up on startup [14:05] hischild its like pidgin but for yahoo i think [14:06] alsadk, go to their sourceforge website and download the .deb. You can install it by double clicking it [14:06] test3r, yes, i do that... but it gets a little annoying when half the "X" button is off on the next workspace at times. [14:06] i'd like to change this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d59ecfe82 and i am unaware of what is causing apt to desire "bash" i have a personal build of bash installed and don't want it overwriten. can anyone shed light on this for me ? [14:07] where/when does ubuntu detect/load the kernel modules [14:07] blue > OK so it's not an app you just "leave" up, then? its not a program you leave up to come up once you log in (kinda auto- but in HERE- we can do a "manual auto")? [14:07] hischild figured you had it covered ;] [14:07] Mythor most in the initramfs.img [14:07] bazhang, yeah ... pointed him at their sourceforge site ... they supply .deb's for it ... why compile if you don't know how and you can get a deb [14:07] hischild look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57813/ [14:07] Mythor but it will read /etc/modules too [14:07] !ask | oldred [14:07] hi all [14:07] oldred: 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. :-) [14:08] hello! what is needed by ubuntu to send mails? [14:08] hischild excellent call ;] [14:08] hi J_P [14:08] people, what package I need instal to have file /etc/hosts.deny and hosts.allow ? [14:08] alsadk, didn't i just point you at their sourceforge site? do you want me to give you a link as well? [14:08] rhineheart_m: a mailclient? [14:08] blue > if it's Not, than its the size of the window the application is making itSelf I think. you may/maynot be able to change that? I am unsure Hopefully someone is watching with a better answer [14:08] !info denyhosts [14:08] alsadk, don't bother compiling unless you have a real reason for it. ... and they HAVE a .deb for you [14:08] J_P: you create them with a text editor [14:08] denyhosts (source: denyhosts): an utility to help sys admins thwart ssh hackers. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6-2.1 (gutsy), package size 61 kB, installed size 416 kB [14:08] test3r, its pretty much any app that I use maximized. When I have it max, and close it, the next time I open it it won't be max anymore (but close) and the right side will be slightly over on workspace 2 [14:09] J_P are they not there already ? [14:09] erUSUL: thatnks.. do you use one? [14:09] denyhosts J_P [14:09] blue > check the CONF of the program itself - see if you can set a smaller res for the window to spawn at? [14:09] rhineheart_m: i use evolution (instaled by default) and acasionally claws mail [14:10] blue > OOOOhhh so Thats how it Happens? OK. I've had that happen. Best workaround I have is the annoying loop of "re-maximize" the app. sry. [14:10] hischild give me a direct link [14:10] bluewraith, as a really weird suggestion, have a go at moving the application to where you want it, and then save it as a gnome session. Dunno if it will help, but certainly my terminal always appears at startup just where I put it [14:10] heh [14:10] squak > yes thats what I said first [14:10] J_P - you should already have those files as part of a standard installation - try ls /etc/ | grep hosts [14:10] I`ve installed a psyBNc on my 7.10 and at reboot it don`t start... what can I do ? [14:10] erUSUL: I've been trying to configure postfix but until now.. I still can't send message over the internet [14:10] alsadk, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490 [14:10] hello, I've troubles with synaptics : http://pastebin.com/me756a83 [14:10] squak > but then it comes up at start up every time [14:10] Ok, thats it, im having squak on highlight [14:11] Squawk, haha you made my day <3 [14:11] or shall i just make that squak as well :p [14:11] rhineheart_m: so you are trying to set up a mail server not just "send mail"... [14:11] just a TAD of traffic in the room. [14:11] ... [14:11] danand ls /etc/host* why two processes and a pipe ? [14:11] !postfix | rhineheart_m [14:11] rhineheart_m: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [14:11] Squawk, i'm joking :-) i'll use your full name [14:11] J_P - my understanding is that you just add the various host/network listings to those files as required. [14:11] hello, my wireless will disconnect after a couple of minutes especially if i leave my pc idle. any idea to solve my problem? [14:11] I'm in recovery mode right now, it seems the password for my normal account has changed too. [14:11] I changed visudo though, so that's fine. [14:11] hischild, I know, hence the elipses [14:11] rhineheart_m: your question should be more clear [14:11] What file is the password for my user account kept in? :( [14:11] Hi! How do i get rid of the hard-drive icons on the desktop? [14:12] Blice, /etc/shadow, and its encrypted [14:12] Gah [14:12] Agent_bob - yeah - thats better :) [14:12] erUSUL: why? can I ask about postfix problems here? [14:12] esox: does "tickless" mean anything to you? [14:12] blowfish is ur friend [14:12] Blice /etc/shadow [14:12] So what's the command to change my root/user password in terminal? === njpatel is now known as njpatel_lunch [14:12] test3r, yeah... guess i'll just have to live with it. Its not like its a problem... just a couple extra clicks each time i open firefox or xchat === kLownish_ is now known as kLownish [14:12] Blice, su to root and run passwd, or else sudo passwd [14:12] jrib: yes it was an old kernel I tried to compile without success [14:12] anyone here knows where I can find help with Vista installation (its not for me, I'm trying to help a friend ) [14:12] Blice: passwd. It is not necessary to set a root password. Use sudo instead [14:12] Blice you should read up on sudo if you don't know about it. but to answer your question sudo passwd [14:12] !sudo > blice (read the private message from ubotu) [14:12] mad_max02, /join #windows [14:12] !sudo [14:12] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [14:13] has anyone compiled syslinux before with mingw? I know nothing about programming and it lost me. I tried to figure it out anyway and just got a bunch of errors and crud. Not even sure how to use MingGW, the documentation assumes you know about programming [14:13] hello [14:13] no .. wrong one ... [14:13] !root | Blice [14:13] Blice: 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 [14:13] blue > hey i have idea i know what i did to not have it happen . Blue - just un-maximize before you close the app. then next time you bring it up, it is only the ONE click to maximize it instead of the full workaround. [14:13] Squawk, thanks dude [14:13] esox: that's causing the trouble, get rid of it [14:13] Okay, I'll use passwd. [14:13] anyone can help me to solve the mentioned problem? [14:13] Also, you guys should get Irssi as an IRC client ;x [14:13] anyone know about package management ? [14:13] jrib: I thought I got rid of it [14:13] !anyone | Agent_bob [14:13] I bet you guys can't use IRC in recovery terminal like this :DDD [14:14] kingamok, "mentioned problem" isn't very describtive ... [14:14] Agent_bob: 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? [14:14] !gq [14:14] Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. [14:14] anyone can help me ? [14:14] hello, my wireless will disconnect after a couple of minutes especially if i leave my pc idle. any idea to solve my problem? [14:14] jrib: what could I do ? [14:14] quit [14:14] .. [14:14] test3r, my workaround is just doubleclicking on the titlebar. no need to make the window dance [14:14] Agent_bob: what is your issue? [14:14] rofl [14:14] Blice failed [14:14] rhineheart_m: yes you can; i mean « < rhineheart_m> hello! what is needed by ubuntu to send mails? » doesn't get to the point on setting up postfix. a better question would have been: «i'm configuring postfix and it doesn't send any mail » [14:14] jrib do you know about package management ? [14:14] !ask | oldred [14:14] oldred: 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. :-) [14:14] Agent_bob: ask a specific question [14:14] kingamok, when it drops, if you run ifconfig, does it still show your wireless with an ip address etc? [14:14] jrib then ignore me. i posted my question. [14:15] erUSUL: yeah.. you got what I meant.. [14:15] i'd like to change this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d59ecfe82 and i am unaware of what is causing apt to desire "bash" i have a personal build of bash installed and don't want it overwriten. can anyone shed light on this for me ? [14:15] Hi I'm running 7.10, is there a repo where I can get g++4.3 ? Thanks! [14:15] jrib: I cant access synaptic and apt returns errors [14:15] squawk; i havent do ifconfig yet , will do it later and come back again once it drop. ok [14:15] esox: get rid of the tickless kernel and then run dpkg --configure -a again [14:15] do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down. [14:16] kingamok, if it still shows an ip address and what not then its not an ubuntu issue but rather a wireless issue (ie losing signal or something) [14:16] erUSUL:I've read already the basic configuration for postfix..but I guess there must be something wrong the way it has been configured [14:16] blue > Yeah I guess that's the price we deal with for having 'the cube' and the most efficient computer workspace known to man [14:16] ok squawk tq for ur respond [14:16] jrib: I dont have it anymore but I have some small files related to it, I just erase them "by hand" ? [14:16] Agent_bob: a package you have installed depends on bash [14:17] jrib no. [14:17] Agent_bob: and if there are no modules loaded automaticly, is there a way to autodetect them ? [14:17] Agent_bob: ubuntu-minimal depends on bash, do you not have that installed? [14:18] rhineheart_m: i'm afraid i can not help you further (other than pinting you to the official help) becouse never set up a mail server myself [14:18] jrib not installed. [14:18] brb [14:18] do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down. [14:18] erUSUL: okay.. thanks anyway.. [14:18] ubotu tell rhineheart_m about postfix | rhineheart_m see priv msg from ubotu [14:18] jrib it's not a dependancy thing. it's a deb priority "thang" [14:18] hi [14:18] jrib but i don't know how or where to change it. [14:19] Agent_bob: what do you mean by "deb proirity" thing? [14:19] Agent_bob - think you can use aptitude. press ctrl-t to access the menu. from there you should be able to specify required behaviour for given packages ie hold, keep etc [14:19] i want to know if it its possible somehow to run Adobe Creative Suite 3 under Linux??? [14:19] rhineheart_m, sorry to jump in in mid conversation, but what exactly are you tyring to do? If you actualy want to set up a mail server you would probably be better getting help from the devs of the given mail server (sendmail, postfix etc) than from #ubuntu, which is more for ubuntu issues [14:19] !wine | Sword_ [14:19] Sword_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [14:19] Agent_bob: is your custom bash installed through a package? [14:19] i know but for CS§? [14:19] 3 [14:19] test3r, haha, yeah. i keep trying to switch workspaces when i'm at work. booted dos a few weeks ago and was completly lost as to why my commands weren't working. Had to sit down and actually think about what I was trying to do [14:20] Sword_: currently no [14:20] :( [14:20] danand if i only had aptitude.... i'll see about that. [14:20] and this crossover program? [14:20] doeas that work? [14:20] Sword_: you can check their appdb for more info or visit #winehq [14:20] Squawk: thanks for the notice.. I been there already..but I guess people there are sleeping..nobody responded.. [14:20] Agent_bob - think you can also use dpkg - see man dpkg --> package flags [14:21] thx guys [14:21] I`ve installed a psyBNc on my 7.10 and at reboot it don`t start... what can I do ? [14:21] oldred how did you install it [14:21] blue > i H8 dos now. i learned WinXP terminal has a lame version of auto-complete though [14:21] rhineheart_m, yeah you get that a fair bit on irc, just leave the channel open and evntualy someone will turn up. I would certainly say that a full mailserver config is well beyond the limits of this channel [14:22] Okay, so, I tried "passwd blice", changed the password, but when I reboot and go into the Ubuntu log-in screen, it still tells me it's wrong?! [14:22] :( [14:22] Blice, caps lock? [14:22] Nope [14:22] blice > did you 'SUDO' the commend? [14:22] No need to sudo, I was logged in as root. [14:22] This is recovery mode [14:22] Blice: what are you trying to do? logging to your box as superadmin? [14:22] Hello. I installed network-manager-openvpn. When I connect to an OpenVPN server my default route is set to the tun device. Why? How to avoid this? [14:23] ./psybnc [14:23] i didnt think recovery even put u in as ROOT root [14:23] No, try just "logging into your box", rhineheart. [14:23] Somehow my password got changed [14:23] Blice, unless you explicitly changed it, you might have real problems. I would suggest installing chkrootkit as a minimum [14:23] Right now I'm using IRC in recovery mode, still. Thank god for Irssi or I'd be boned right now. [14:24] installing chkrootkit? [14:24] What's that? [14:24] Hm, seems like my new machine doesn't like Ubuntu [14:24] it is [14:24] change [14:24] root [14:24] you learn how to do that with Slack [14:24] do you know how to solve the problem of ralink wireless driver (rt61)? my connection is always coming down. [14:24] chkrootkit is a bit of softare to check for rootkits and what not on your sytem, basicaly nasties that mgiht ahve got in [14:24] Live version doesn't load completely [14:24] cornix could you be more precise please [14:24] oh chK [14:24] Netinstall doesn't recognize my SATA HD [14:25] Blice, if something other than you changed your user password then you have aproblem [14:25] its the damn K. everytime. ;p [14:25] as a user, I`ve made make menuconf, make and ./psybnc [14:25] I must do this as a root ? [14:25] Hello there [14:25] in ubuntu server, how do i get apache2 to serve java content [14:25] So, I do 'apt-get install chkrootkit'? [14:25] Same DVD I tried to use now worked fine on my last machine [14:25] danand danand would you be refering to "forbid version" in the aptitude menu ? === sybarite1 is now known as sybariten [14:26] hischild i install it but its not appered on applications>internet [14:26] hi, im downloading Hardy Heron from distrowatch but is it stable to run yet or shall i take 7.10? [14:26] gutsy Rimfrost [14:26] How do I get gcc-4.3? Anyone? [14:26] I have connected my *sound system with my toshiba satellite but the sound output is still form the internal speakers of the laptop not from the sound system [14:26] what should i do? [14:26] Gutsy got problems with SATA? [14:26] *andy_* from synaptic [14:26] No clue what else it could be [14:26] Does it make sense to install chrootkit on a possibly compromised machine? [14:26] ...So I do "apt-get install chkrootkit", right? I need an answer before I exit IRC :x [14:26] alsadk, if it doesn't show up, that means that either you installed the wrong one or the program doesn't use shortcuts and you have to create them [14:27] does build-essential have that version of gcc andy_? not sure about the version number let me see [14:27] ok [14:27] dennda: install apt-get tcpd ;-) [14:27] chemical, I have the same problem. I havn't been able to find *anything* that can fix it yet. google searched for like, 2 hours. [14:27] Netinstall is recognizing my small IDE HD and even my external drive [14:27] Blice, atl-f2 gets you a new login [14:27] Blice > that will get you that pak [14:27] vlt, not really, but its the best hes gonna do [14:27] Agent_bob - no, i was looking at the Hold option - Cancels any action on the selected package, and protect from future upgrades [14:27] hi [14:27] Okay [14:27] well someone send me this. watch me [14:27] no its ch K [14:27] K [14:27] Squawk: Shouldn't he rather check the hard drive from a voot disk?

To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [14:29] Lectus: double clicking usually does it [14:29] but i can't test it in my system cause the laptop is of a friend of mine and he just left [14:29] Lectus: double click on them (gedebi will take care of them) [14:29] hischild thx [14:29] Blice > r u still there >? u donthaave a root kit problem on your TUX BOX? what r u STORING?

Welcome! [14:30] also [14:31] Has Gutsy got problems with SATA? [14:31] Netinstall is recognizing my small IDE HD and even my external drive [14:31] *cornell* nop [14:31] Live CD is not booting at all [14:31] cornix, no, all my sata stuff working fine [14:31] I ve installed @ sata [14:31] the load-bar is showing, then it hangs with just a cursor in the top left corner [14:31] cornix try the alternate cd then [14:31] !alternate [14:31] 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 [14:31] *cornix* purple cursor? [14:32] white [14:32] Graphics is ok ? [14:32] The cursor looks normal [14:32] hey guys, any way to make a vnc session from windows to linux through ssh tunneling run faster? [14:32] :D [14:32] text cursor [14:32] Ok :) [14:32] wow... google works fast. Its already parsed some pages that are less then an hour old. [14:32] ForzaPalermo, use a lighter desktop, reduce the # of colors of the display. lower the res. [14:33] ForzaPalermo, disable wallpaper and any extra effects. [14:33] hmpf, then I really will have to dl [14:33] Dr_willis, i am already runningi at the lowest [14:33] Wait [14:33] using tightvnc [14:33] Alternate CD is just for install? [14:33] I think I tried that already [14:33] aye [14:33] chemical, i'll test that code out and let you know if it solved it for me. What model satellite is it? [14:33] ForzaPalermo, for a windows vnc server - i tend to use 'ultravnc' it may have more tweaks. [14:33] *cornix* only install [14:33] yeah, blue-ish background and all [14:34] that one didn't recognize my SATA :( [14:34] Gb? [14:34] 750 [14:34] Hmmmm [14:34] sata no worries here cornix [14:34] Dunno :/ [14:34] Okay, so, I did chkrootkit. It didn't find anything. [14:34] @bluewraith Toshiba Sattelite Pro A120 [14:34] I tried using passwd -u blice [14:34] And then changing the password again, [14:34] For both blice and root. [14:35] Meh. What else can I do here? [14:35] Dr_willis, even when running on my home network it runs the same as how it runs here at work [14:35] ForzaPalermo, vnc can be sluggish. I agree [14:36] Anyone? :( [14:36] Blice, make a new user and try logging in, see if that works? [14:36] What's the command to make a new user? [14:36] adduser [14:36] are there any better alternatives [14:36] Meh, I'll try the install cd again [14:36] Blice, useradd [14:36] Thanks. I'll see how it goes [14:37] but I even ran HD recognition twice and it didn't recognize the install HD [14:37] hischild, why does he keep quitting. I presume hes on command line, so why not just alt-f#? [14:37] I COULD move all shizzle off my IDE HD though and just put Ubuntu on that one :D [14:38] Squawk, he's in recovery mode ... i'm not sure wether it supports multiple terminals ... [14:38] hischild, i think it does. :) its just like no-X running, and some services not going. [14:38] Dr_willis, any better alternatives than vnc? [14:38] ForzaPalermo, I only use vnc. freenx i hear works great for linux to linux.. but i dont do that. [14:39] Hm, might running Linux and Windows from 2 different physical HDs cause any problems? [14:39] ForzaPalermo, i use the ultravnc server for windows. It may have some addational speed up tweaks. [14:39] chemical, that didn't do anything for me. I still get sound from the laptop speakers [14:39] u can always gain ROOT to a drive from a LiveCD , yes? [14:39] Or will the bootloader work fine with it? [14:39] should he try a command from after booting to That? [14:39] cornix, thats how i always do it. [14:39] okies, so it should work [14:39] Dr_willis, hmm ... it might ... you know what, i'll just try :p [14:39] cornix, of course. :) [14:39] I'm googling too so i'keep you informed if anything positive happens [14:39] ForzaPalermo, what do you want, access to the whole desktop or just to the command line. If just command line, ssh? [14:40] hischild, or teach him to use screen :) [14:40] no gui desktop [14:40] so i can download movies while im at work and IM [14:40] hey guys whats the difference between multiverse and universe repositories? [14:40] Dr_willis, hmm ... yeah would also be an option ... my second box is bootin in to recovery now ... let's see [14:40] ForzaPalermo, you can do that from command line you know ;) irssi has IM plugins, wget to download files from the interweb ;) [14:40] Squawk > is there command he can run from LiveCD to r-instate root & reset his pass on his main account on the drive? [14:41] Dr_willis, nope ... you can't ... it'll just give you a blank screen [14:41] Squawk, i have no clue how to do that lol [14:41] hischild, never noticed. :) odd that it disables that. [14:41] Squawk, any tight vnc alternatives that run faster? [14:41] test3r, I would think so, but not sure.... [14:41] ForzaPalermo, no idea im afriad, never used it [14:41] хмм [14:41] :( [14:41] ForzaPalermo, ultravnc, vnc4server, theres proberly a dozen vnc variants out. [14:41] Squawk > ive read that bfore. i dont know what it would b. ima google it on box next to me [14:42] test3r, I know it should be easy, since I have done it in the past (forgot root password...) [14:42] Dr_willis, neither did i, although i can assume that it does that so it doesn't have to load another program that might do something bad [14:42] ForzaPalermo: it's not hard to learn the CLI. Just have to read and comprehend. :) [14:42] waylandbill, no time for that lol [14:42] hischild, any other program? its allready ran the login program on the first console. :) so why not more. [14:42] hischild, actually waiut.. it auto logins in dont it.. no LOGIN: [14:43] while im at it guys, with tightvnc, to x11vnc i cannot get filee transfers going, anthing i can do to fix that.... alternatives... non command line alternatives preferably :) [14:43] hischild, the extend ive used recovery mode is to fsck some disks. :) thats about it. Other then that i always use livecd's [14:43] ForzaPalermo: you should make time to learn at least one new thing a day is my thoughts. [14:43] OK [14:43] is here [14:43] back? [14:43] its hard when ur working all day [14:43] ForzaPalermo, ive found x11vnc to be VERY sluggish compared to the other 'vncservers' [14:43] Dr_willis, i can imagine that if something bad does something on let's say the 5th screen ... it can't do that if that screen is disabled ... and yeah it auto logs in [14:44] Dr_willis, yeah but its the only thing i can run that i KNOW of that runs my CURRENT display :0 [14:44] Squawk > I know u tell him to run 'passwd' but did u tell him to run it like 'passwd HisNormalUserName' ??? [14:44] not display 1 [14:44] which is a different session [14:44] @bluewraith check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=457453 [14:44] ForzaPalermo, i dont share current displays that makes it MUCH more sluggish also. :) [14:44] Squawk he just set the root=s pass on his box lol [14:44] ForzaPalermo: i suppose ... although I count the learning as working as well. :-D [14:44] ForzaPalermo, i keep my torrent/im/whatever in a nice littke session thats using jwm, for me to remote access [14:44] hi, i just read this article and the comments http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/132891.asp and if you have the time you should read it and post a comment to suport Ubuntu. I do not want to spam just i want to increase ubuntu popularity [14:44] test3r, ok I knjow how to do it [14:44] =D [14:45] ForzaPalermo, i find it decently quick when doing it that way. [14:45] Dr_willis, jwm? [14:45] !info jwm | ForzaPalermo [14:45] forzapalermo: jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5-1 (gutsy), package size 82 kB, installed size 268 kB [14:45] http://paste.debian.net/50172 <- any ideas? [14:45] test3r, err, hmm, cant remember [14:45] ForzaPalermo, as i suggested earlier - use a very light window manager. [14:45] speed isnt that bad for me, but its just a little choppy, ive heard of people watching movies no problem through ssh [14:45] Squawk > you found re-root from LiveCD process? link , yes? [14:46] ForzaPalermo, one has to wonder how they get sound... [14:46] chemical, my problem isn't a lack of speakers... but an overuse. they still work when i try to use headphones. my solution was to just deal with it, since i dont use headphones that often. [14:46] test3r, its gentoo, but it will work [14:46] test3r: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Reset_a_Lost_Root_Password [14:46] hey all. I'm trying to get hold of git-core >= 1.5.3 for gutsy. even dapper has it (via backports) [14:46] Dr_willis: pulseaudio is nice for that purpose [14:46] yes they say recovery console then to just use passwd but THAT dood wants to set it to his normal acc not root itself id imagine [14:46] oh sorry [14:46] ForzaPalermo, You could alwasys run xming, and have the x apps appear locally. [14:47] Okay, so, I tried making a new user. [14:47] Corty: those modules compiled against the current running kernel? [14:47] And then I used passwd to change it's password [14:47] test3r, he said hes locked out of root and normal [14:47] And I can't log in with it, either. Says wrong password. [14:47] so runnging jwm runs a different session>? [14:47] So... What the hell :( [14:47] u have info on ming [14:47] xming [14:47] Blice, can you tail /var/log/auth.log [14:47] tail it? [14:47] waylandbill, ehm, yes? [14:48] tail is a command that ouputs hte last 10 lines (and it might be a slight variation on auth.log) [14:48] <_Oz_> Hello, Ubuntu friends. [14:48] Blice > what on earth. You might want to try to re-root from a LiveCD [14:48] What will I be looking for on that, Squawk? [14:48] waylandbill, 8999329 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 22 2008-02-28 21:56 linux -> linux-headers-2.6.24.3 [14:48] Blice, no idea, read it and see if something interesting crops up [14:48] I have to exit IRC to do this, since it's only one terminal here in recovery, so give me everything I need to know before I exit :( [14:48] Eh. [14:49] Well alright. If there's nothing interesting, what do I try after that? [14:49] hello [14:49] Blice, no idea [14:49] This sucks man [14:49] hi lubse [14:49] instead o tail can he pipe that into a TXT file [14:49] so it creates a type of log he can read [14:49] could someone help me find out what processor I have? [14:49] Blice, it sounds like you have successfully borked your login stuff [14:49] its not showing up in lspci [14:50] lubse: cat /proc/cpuinfo [14:50] Blice, im hoping auth.log will give us a clue as to where [14:50] lol yeah nice job Blice whatever u did Dont Do That next time [14:50] is there a "select all" function in gnome-terminal, like notepad ??? [14:50] Well, remember Squawk, it was when I was editing the conf files for winbind, samba, and krb that this happened. [14:50] Also pam.d [14:50] lol [14:50] Blice, learn to use 'screen ' so yoyu dont have to exit irc [14:50] Blice, problem is pam.d [14:50] hello [14:50] Problem is pam.d, eh? [14:50] Corty: 2.6.24? you using hardy or backports? [14:50] hi [14:51] Hello. I installed network-manager-openvpn. When I connect to an OpenVPN server using NetworkManager instead of conf files my default route is set to the tun device. Why? How to avoid this? [14:51] Blice, and I have literaly no experience playing with pam.d, im not brave enough ;) [14:51] Gee ive not had to mess with pam in... well... ever... I know better. :) [14:51] never needed to. [14:51] Blice, weren't you trying to hang your ubuntu box in an AD domain? [14:51] waylandbill, compiled myself [14:51] Blice, pam = plugable authentication modules, ie, logins [14:51] Yes, hischild [14:51] Dr Willis > o can u throw irc onto terminal (F3) by a 'irssi screen 0.3' command or the such? [14:51] Blice, have you tried to login using the AD details? [14:51] hischild, hang his box seems appropriate :( [14:51] Squawk i'm back [14:51] is there a "select all" function in gnome-terminal, like notepad ??? [14:51] bluewraith , [14:51] waylandbill, but as i read that... would be a better idea to use a hardy package? [14:52] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_make_sound_work_with_Intel_Integrated_Sound_Cards [14:52] Squawk, i apologize ... *removes ubuntu from the line* [14:52] hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid) [14:52] Hrmmm [14:52] test3r, possibially. - but i havent had to do that in ages.. [14:52] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz [14:52] chemical, using gutsy and 2.6.24, so alsa is built in my kernel. [14:52] when i do ifconfig i see this wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:9A:D0:BD:02 [14:52] inet addr:192.168.0.10 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [14:52] chemical, yes? [14:52] test3r, id just install screen, or twin. :) and get multi terms that way [14:52] Dr willis > hey how comes it on my Compizfusion box the F terminals r brok after I boot up and log in? [14:52] what is that means, problem with my router/adaptor or ubuntu itself? [14:52] what about this link :http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_make_sound_work_with_Intel_Integrated_Sound_Cards [14:53] lubse: that's nice but why do we care? [14:53] Corty: should be okay as long as the kernel and modules were built from the same code and headers. [14:53] Well, alright, so, what I think we should do.... Squawk, can you go on the Ubuntu forums for me? In the network section, I have a thread in there. Can you paste in the text from each file in your pam.d so I can edit mine back to how it was? [14:53] kingamok, that means your card is still configured. That being the case, not sure what the problem is [14:53] test3r, most likely its the framebuffer fighting with the X server. [14:53] kingamok: why should htere be a problem? [14:53] waylandbill, ok. :) [14:53] test3r, as a test. disable the framebuffer. I think the framebuffer wiki ubuntu page has info on that. [14:53] Blice, link, and tell me what files you have [14:53] oooooooo OK so kill that framebufer in the card setup OK kewl [14:53] Hi all, somebody knows how to set a shortcut to open the gimmie menu? [14:53] my wireless disconnect if idle a few minutes [14:53] test3r, i disable the framebuffer from the grub menu.lst file [14:53] Arg... I can't link.. I have no browser here. [14:53] My ubuntu system is feisty an i'm thinking of upgrading it [14:54] but... [14:54] test3r, Not siure what/where you are refering to. [14:54] Corty: you may try building both again. [14:54] Now am I running the right ubuntu? I think I installed the i86 ubuntu [14:54] waylandbill, got the vanilla sources, and built my own .deb packages for headers and image [14:54] kingamok, when the network drops, is it the internet thats inaccessible? can you still ping the router (ie, are you certain the problem is wireless?). When it does drop, try running iwlist wlan0 scan, and see if wifi is still running [14:54] i have 769 Mb RAM does it worthit? [14:54] waylandbill, ok, just startet with that [14:54] but its an x64 cpu [14:54] But, I need uhm... common-auth, common-sesson, sudo, and common-account [14:54] In the pam.d folder [14:54] 786 sorry [14:54] lubse, you proberly have no real need to use the 64 bit version of ubuntu. Most people dont. [14:54] chemical, your amount of memory is good enough [14:54] Blice, oh christ you havnt been hilighting me, no clue how many lines I missed [14:55] internet inaccessible [14:55] Blice, you can browse the net with lynx [14:55] waylandbill, what else, if that will not solve it? [14:55] Dr Willis > yes im sure that's it. ty ill try fussing with that all [14:55] chemical: I don't think memory requirements of gutsy are that different from those of feisty [14:55] chemical sure no worries [14:55] lubse: i386 will run on x64, but wont support all the x64 features. [14:55] moreover hardy seems pretty more efficient than gutsy [14:55] kingamok, so you can still see the router? that being the case the problem is not your wifi, its your internet connection [14:55] x64 ubuntu - has issues with some areas also.. [14:55] Blice, how do I find the thread? [14:55] waylandbill, i did that yesterday and forgot to deactivate a few conflicting modules, so i could not insert the module. but today it's throwing other errors, as you can see at the pastebin [14:55] Squawk: I need sudo, common-account, common-auth, and common-session from the pam.d folder; My thread is in the "Networking and wireless" section of the Ubuntu forums, it should still be on the first page in there. My username is Blice. [14:56] the main reason of becoming linux user is attractive usability [14:56] Blice, I found the thread, one sec [14:56] Squawk: Thanks so much, man. [14:56] Corty: I saw the errors. The missing symbols suggest code not in the kernel that the headers say there are. [14:56] chemical: until ubuntu many people believed it was the countrary :) [14:56] chemical: sure you're not talking about apple? [14:56] so i don't what? [14:57] what?? [14:57] if i click my AWN showdesktop applet, conky is getting minimized to. Is there a way to disable this? [14:57] waylandbill, ok [14:57] Corty: you may want to see if someone in #linux would know more about it. [14:57] why you say that? [14:57] waylandbill, ok, thanks :) [14:57] chemical: put the name of who you're talking to before the msg [14:58] how do I enable 'universe' ?

[15:00] the thing is that ubuntu dosen't set the JAVA_HOME var by default [15:00] kingamok, then your problem is wifi coverage, your wireless signal is dropping for some reason [15:00] Ok Squawk, let me go take a look. [15:00] kingamok, move the router closer to your computer to check [15:00] chemical: depends what you're upgrading?

[15:26] ok, andi can go back and forth from windows to linux and vice versa? [15:26] the one u connect WITH you could turn the active directory OFF [15:26] ForzaPalermo, use winscp, it's fast.

[15:27] i have samba installed [15:27] ForzaPalermo, hischild, or install something like cygwin and use rsync ;) [15:27] ForzaPalermo, create a shared folder on windows, on linux click on network and then windows network. it'll find it there.

[15:32] hischild: Why not scp? [15:32] ForzaPalermo, you can use scp wherever [15:32] ok, now i just downlaoded winscp [15:32] Pici, i'm unaware of scp capable servers for windows ... [15:32] ForzaPalermo, i use scp to transfer files to my web host, and lord alone knows where that is [15:32] i can run this in accordance iwth putty [15:32] or that is sepearte [15:32] hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable.

[16:46] `paul: the only restriction is on who can writte on the top level of the filesystem [16:46] DRebellion, there is... [16:46] paul, what do you have as the line in your /etc/fstab for this disk? [16:46] i have X enabled, what to do now? [16:46] hey guys what the difference between multiverse and reistricted repos? [16:47] liberion: afaik there is no restricted section on the repos [16:47] <`paul> ok its working now [16:47] <`paul> thanks a lot.... [16:47] erUSUL, ok thanx [16:47] paul: I use this line in my /etc/fstab for my ext3 external hard drives. /dev/sdb1 /media/mybook ext3 user,noauto,rw 0 0 I did sudo chown -R myuser.myuser /media/mybook [16:47] cool [16:47] hi [16:47] Hi! Im having a little problem. Yesterday I downloaded and installed ubuntu 7.10. I have downloaded the updates, but heres the problems: the terminal window is completly white, and there is no sound, and i can't move the windows. I have a Intel Pentium 4 processor, intel 850e Max chipset, geforce ti 4600 and 512 MB of RAM. I got X enabled. Somebody got a solution for my problems? [16:47] Whatsinaname, well, i don't know much about WoL or the hardware aspects of standby, but i would doubt you could do that. However, i could be wrong. [16:48] Sinnerman, =/ what did you put on the kernel line in menu.lst? [16:48] DRebellion: Wake on LAN is the first thing I thought of as well, though I haven't used it much myself [16:48] Half the fun is trying to figure this stuff out. If all the answers were easy it would be not fun DRebillion. [16:48] <`paul> thanks guys [16:48] carl: Did you make many changes to your appearance? [16:48] DRebellion vga=352, which was meant to give me 1280x800. [16:49] i figured out, that i have X on, and visual effects on medium [16:49] I do send a magic packet to wake my box, but now I am just trying to fine tune it so I can just hide it under some dust bunnies :) [16:49] carl: X is always on, otherwise you don't get a GUI, as for your visual effects, do you have the restricted nVidia driver installed? === leonel_ is now known as leonel [16:50] hi everyone, I desperately need help to install ubuntu. My problem is this: [16:50] I boot from the install CD, in the menu I choose the first option -start/install ubuntu, then i see the ubuntu logo. After some time i get a blank screen with 10 lines: Permission denied [16:50] The lastest ubuntu could find [16:50] DRebellion i don't know what the ubuntu liveCD uses, but that looks brilliant. my goal is to have no splash, verbose, wide enough to display most kernel messages without odd placement on the screen. i can understand wrapping, but some new lines are starting about 10 characters from the right, and that just looks odd. [16:50] bored [16:50] carl: The one that the repository provides through the restricted driver manager? [16:50] Yup. [16:51] Sinnerman, perhaps you got a bad number. its pretty hard to dig these codes out of google... [16:51] He guys, I am new to linux and i really need some help [16:51] I boot from the install CD, in the menu I choose the first option -start/install ubuntu, then i see the ubuntu logo. After some time i get a blank screen with 10 lines: Permission denied [16:52] anyone knows what the problem is ? [16:52] carl: I recommend trying the system without visual effects. My experience with 512 GB of emory on nVideo chipsets with Compiz Fusion tend to act a little strange or not work at all. It *could* be ou're suffering from the freeze bug. [16:52] DRebellion argh. ive got another issue here goes: [16:52] Okay, thanks yaro, i'll try that now. [16:52] bye [16:52] 512 GB of emory?! ;-) [16:52] let's forget the verbose boot thing for now, i have another issue. I have a working ubuntu install on this hard disk on my laptop, and would very much like to keep it running this way. However, I've now bought myself a bigger hard disk. how do i migrate everything from the first hard disk to the second? they are both SATA devices. I want to add a third partition however, for dual booting windows, when i really badly need something in there i can't do [16:52] in ubuntu/VM/wine. [16:53] whitman: I am a skilled typist... maybe. [16:53] j vmware [16:53] hehe [16:53] !webmin [16:53] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[16:56] Sinnerman, I read it as you wanted an exact copy, just re-read it [16:56] Sword_: I wouldn't recommend doing any sort of virtualization with anything less than a few GiB of space left.

[16:56] hi everyone, I desperately need help to install ubuntu. My problem is this: [16:56] I boot from the install CD, in the menu I choose the first option -start/install ubuntu, then i see the ubuntu logo. After some time i get a blank screen with 10 lines: Permission denied [16:56] I really need some help with this [16:57] i'm goin to assume that ubuntu also support output via svideo correct? [16:57] srv oltreirc.net [16:57] yaro: can i make a new partition?? or does it always use the ubuntu partition [16:57] Squawk sorry, my mistake. I want the same _functionality_ on the second hard disk, with all my data in place, without having to go through the hassle or reinstalling and hunting for the packages i wanted installed. [16:57] Sinnerman, I was under the impression from your post that you basicaly wanted to copy the first hard disk to the second, that's not what you want? [16:57] Sinnerman, ok [16:57] Squawk eh :) just as i clarified, no. [16:57] Sword_: Sure, you can make a new partition, I recommend Gparted, but that won't increase available disk space any. [16:57] i'm having a problem when i try to suspend/hibernate... my computer just shuts down and if i turn it back on, it boots from scratch [16:58] Sinnerman,that being the case.... I dunno ;( [16:58] imnew: I'm not sure why it is doing that. You could consider trying the new Ubuntu alpha version that is out, it's got a new installer and the final version is coming in April [16:58] quick sftp or scp question - i'd like to transfer files from my computer to computer2, which connects to the internet through computer1. all the info i've read for sftp/scp describes how to go from one computer to a second computer. how do i send files from my computer to computer2 in this case? [16:58] Dritzen, thanks, where do i find it ? [16:58] Anyone else finding that Brainstorm isn't allowing the editing of ideas? [16:58] yaro: i chose "dynamic size" does it even matter how big ich make it [16:58] Squawk i guess i could partimage, then i'd have to have both hard disks out of the laptop, booted into a livecd... hmm. i think that's my best option. i had problems connecting drives via USB. [16:58] Sinnerman, its probably possible to get a list of all applications that you have installed/working using apt. and put them all in a file somewhere. Then, once you have the new install, write a short shell script to run though the list [16:59] imnew, i've already given you some options on what you can do to be more helpfull on the #ubuntu-nl channel. Please follow those first [16:59] Squawk yes, someone once told me how to do that with dpkg. [16:59] imnew: strange. You could also try installing ubuntu from the "alternate" cd instead of the"desktop" cd. It is the same except that the alternat is dedicated ton install (and.. in text mode) [16:59] mroc: That's easy. scp /path/to/file user@host:/path/to/destination [16:59] Sinnerman, its something ive never done or looked into, so im guessing tbh [16:59] thannoy: I didn't think of that, that would work too [16:59] Squawk and that's probably a good idea too, clean install. but i had some manual tweaks that were tedious and don't want repeating :P. [16:59] Sword_: No, but the thing is it will probably go over a few GiB fairly quickly. [17:00] Sinnerman, copy the config files accross? thats easy enough [17:00] yaro: but i can't connect directly to user@computer2 since it's not directly exposed to the internet...it sits behind computer1 [17:00] mroc, you need sshd running on one of the computers for scp to work like that [17:00] Squawk i think i'll go the partimage way. but i need to find out if 2.5" SATA drive connector == 3.5" SATA drive connector. [17:00] Sinnerman, for that I have no clue [17:00] Squawk true. [17:00] yaro: ok thx === dfletcher_ is now known as dfletcher [17:01] Squawk eh. what google is for :P i'll be on it. well, thanks anyway. [17:01] mroc, presumably even though your are using some form of connection sharing, both computers must still have an ip on the same subnet, so you should easily be able to transfer files, unless you have a really funky iptables script [17:01] now, erm, has anyone used partimage here? [17:01] Sinnerman: I saw something recently, where you could make a cd or dvd of all of the packages that you currently have installed [17:02] Dritzen apt-on-cd? [17:02] That may have been it [17:02] Are you looking for a partitioning program? [17:02] Why does nautlius ask me for a freaking password to login to my windows samba shares to xfer some files, I have NO passwords on that machine what so ever [17:03] Not strictly ubuntu, but... is user@googlemail.com the same as user@gmail.com?? [17:03] DRebellion: yes [17:03] DRebellion, no [17:03] .... [17:03] Squawk: i can connect to the router (dd-wrt w/ ssh enabled, not port forwarding) then ssh from the router to the computer i'm interested in. the router is exposed to the internet. what i was calling computer 2 is behind it. i don't know what the syntax would have to be to scp files to that computer though. [17:03] =/ [17:03] You can use both email addresses [17:03] DRebellion, rly? [17:03] will the wiubi.exe work with viksta x64 [17:03] DRebellion, one quick way to check [17:03] DRebellion: I'm going to go email myself, I just read that they both work last night though [17:04] Dritzen, ok [17:04] ubunt84: I can't say for x86_64, but it did run fine for me on x86. [17:04] DRebellion, Dritzen, i just emailed myself, give it 30 seconds [17:04] Dritzen no, not particularly. i can partition fine. partimage is supposed to make backups of your partition. i was hoping someone would tell me if it could back it up to another partition, of a different size, rather than to an image. a bit like norton ghost. apt-on-cd allows me to make downloaded (cached) .deb files into another mini CD repository. it's not that useful to me now, as i discovered you get pretty much the same functionality if you just [17:04] copy the files to the cache manually. [17:04] It worked [17:04] Hey [17:04] DRebellion, Dritzen, you both can put me on ignore, it seems I was wrong [17:04] haha, np [17:05] Squawk, Dritzen, excellent :) [17:05] i need help, i need this video downloaded, can anyone help?? http://www.wtov9.com/video/7814675/index.html?taf=steu [17:05] I only knew about it because I read an article, suggesting using your @googlemail.com address for anti-spam purposes [17:05] yaro: i will give it a try thanks [17:05] Nayone that could suggest a usb wireless device that will work out of the box on ubuntu 64bit [17:05] noodleesgc: I don't think that's within the scope of this channel.

[17:07] hey guys is \ a character or a symbol?? [17:08] Grab: Both? [17:08] yaro Grab: It depends on where it is being used. [17:08] Yeah, it is both, you can use \ to write extra lines in a really long command [17:08] yaro: Or what Dritzen said. XD [17:08] Sinnerman: There has to be a way to do a 1 to 1 copy onto another partition, though I doubt you'd be able to do it unless both drives were hooked up to the same machine at once === Jeriath is now known as Jeriath|Springbr === Jeriath|Springbr is now known as Jeriath|springbr === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [17:10] can someone help me recover Ubuntu following failed update? [17:10] Dritzen yeah, hehe. i'm hoping 2.5 and 3.5 inch drive connectors are the same. they looked the same, but i didn't have them side by side at the time. if that's the case, then it should be a lot easier. i seem to remember an option during ubuntu install (manual, textmode) that asked you if you wanted to copy data from a partition at partioning time, or slightly later. [17:10] Dritzen partimage makes an image :(, so i might have to do with the second option above. [17:10] I went out of my way to move myself out of MSHOME and ubuntu still has me listed there [17:10] DrX: we're here to help; no need to ask to ask [17:10] Sinnerman: I'm writing that get-selections command in my list of interesting commands [17:10] #oltreirc.net [17:11] Sinnerman, 2.5 laptop hdd connector vs. 3.5 desktop hdd?

[17:27] Youtube videos are messed up [17:27] jmdc, I had a working Ubuntu 6.06 (with updates) and ran the updater and it completed and restarted and reports "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" when u try to start Linux (Live CD d/n run either, says "The drive appears confused" but WIndows is OK [17:27] Youtube videos are messed up using gnash.

[17:29] Valas: component output is an analog HD type of connection (with 3 cables). [17:29] hey. how do i disable some modules from being loaded during the kernel. do i just delete the .ko file or is there another way? [17:29] fraujansen: Boot into a LiveCD and setup GRUB from there. [17:29] yaro: gnash is my only choice, i have a mac.and i cant even get close to watching iplayer or youtube. [17:29] DrX: how exactly is the drive partitioned? [17:29] jmdc: how about installing from the Ubuntu 7.x CD? [17:29] yaro, no, am trying to find correct spelling on google [17:29] frank232: oh. I have it, but don't have the cable. so i'm using the s-video. [17:29] ghost: Seek the modules from Synaptic and remove them from there.

[17:30] RootyRootRootW00: Might be easier to search Synaptic, first. [17:30] DrX: that would work, but I would only do that as a last resort. If we can fix the problem you won't lose data [17:30] erUSUL, sudo -i I mean [17:30] is there a bash command to repeat another command every 2 seconds or so? [17:30] fraujansen: Hang on, I'll go search out a useful HOWTO. [17:30] DrX - might not lose data [17:30] Valas: ok. I was just thinking maybe the video card thinks it's connected with component [17:30] Pici: thanks that's exactly what i wanted [17:30] jmdc: I'd love to fix the problem, I'd love to save the configuration [17:30] Slart: cron [17:30] Slart, script a short loop?

[17:31] frank232: how can i be sure? BTW, maybe it using NTSC and i need pal? [17:31] Squawk: I just want to run a couple of lines of bash commands every second.. [17:31] what does /facepalm mean [17:31] hischild: i'm here cause nobody has been able to solve my problem in ubuntu-it [17:32] yaro: cool I look [17:32] Is there a way to get ubuntu-brainstorm to actually save edits to an idea? [17:32] claudio75, if ubuntu is unable to turn your pc off, then you have turned off acpi in your bios most likely. Also you shouldn't disable acpi then. [17:32] Slart: use the sleep command in a loop [17:32] Valas: not sure about that. if you connect Pal to NTSC, I think you get a lot of flickering in the image too [17:33] waylandbill: hmm.. I guess I'll do that.. I seem to recall there was something else though.. very annoying [17:33] Slart, as someone suggested, either put both commands in a text file (shell script) and run it from cron, or else write a short script to execute every 2 seconds. Slart, wahat are the commands? [17:33] frank232: no flickering here. so probably it's not it. [17:33] jmdc: also, note this system has a BIOS setting that affected ability to setup stuff related to drives called "Enhanced Mode Support On" and it's currently SATA+PATA and remember having some trouble with OS install & had to play around with these (SATA, PATA ar eteh other 2 options) [17:33] DrX: boot the problem machine to the live disk but don't install, just use the tools on the live disk to diagnose the problem [17:33] Slart: what's the purpose of every few seconds? trying to poll something? [17:34] hischild: uh? but i can't turn acpi off from bios......i didn't try but i think i can't.....and anyway do you think that i can disable it without any risk? acpi controls fans too... [17:34] jmdc: Ubuntu 6 or 7 CD? [17:34] fraujansen: This is a better HOWTO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [17:34] DrX - the newest one you have should be fine [17:34] Squawk, waylandbill: I simply do a ps -A.. compare it to the process list I got the last time and print the diff between the files.. [17:34] fraujansen: It works even if you didn't install Windows. [17:34] DrX - but on second thought, your bios might be causing this problem [17:35] Squawk, waylandbill: just to see if any new processes pop up.. [17:35] claudio75, your fans are controlled by your motherboard. ACPI does not control your fans (at least it does not for me). the reason it can't turn it off is because it is currently most likely disabled so try and enable it. [17:35] Valas: on the back of the card is there only one port for component/composite/s-video ? [17:35] frank232: exactly - one for each. [17:35] hischild: ah...ok.....let me try [17:35] guys [17:36] I want to mount remote host, but I got this error: mount: RPC: Program not registered [17:36] Slart, then your choices are either to script a quick loop with sleep, or else to run it from crontab [17:36] Slart, personaly I would use a loop with sleep [17:36] Valas: yeah it probably thinks it's in cmponent but I am not sure how to set it for s-video [17:36] can somebody tell me where under gnome i can change the system sounds?? [17:36] Squawk: I just thought I had seen a command to do this in bash === kLownish_ is now known as kLownish [17:36] jmdc: Ubuntu 7 CD boots to blank screen [17:37] frank232: oh. thanks. so I need to change xorg.conf ? [17:37] Slart, pretty much impossible, since the command will presumably be executed mid script, meaning that it cant be every 2 seconds. You need something to execute the script every 2 seconds,not something in the script that waits 2 seconds (if you want it on the money every 2 seconds) [17:37] frank232: and tell it to use s-video [17:37] DrX: sometimes it takes a minute [17:37] jmdc: Ubuntu 6 CD reports "the drive appears to be confused" [17:37] jmdc: yeah, the CD just started up again [17:37] Valas: yeah I gues... [17:38] Squawk: my script already works nicely with the sleep command.. but now I feel the need to find that other command.. [17:38] vlt: seems like it works as a charm....

When I ./configure it still tells me that it is missing the two above packages [17:40] Slart: yes. watch would work, although it's not a bash command per se. You could use the -d switch to show differences in output even. [17:40] jmdc: desktop [17:40] Slart, ahh ok [17:40] DrX: try running gparted [17:40] yaro: I'm now installed gtk 2.0 as this address: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2004-May/msg00189.html [17:40] Slart, havnt actualy come accross that, might be useful [17:40] DrX: it might automagically find the problem [17:41] automagically lol [17:41] cadefy_: yeah.. old programming term ;-) [17:41] :P [17:41] hischild: so...i'm in BIOS...i have two options: S1=system resumes more quickly from sleep mode........S3=Systemconserves more power when not in use .....S3 is selected now.....so i select S1!?!?!? [17:42] Hi fellas [17:42] claudio75, look for ACPI... [17:42] claudio75, and disable it [17:42] claudio75, if you wish to know what S1 and S3 means, go look it up on google.

[17:50] RootyRootRootW00: As for that second library, I don't think that's int he Gutsy repos, you'll have to hunt them down somewhere on the web, I think. [17:50] yaro: am doing so [17:50] jmdc: yeah, earlier [17:50] Impy, does he just want to try it out? or is he going to install it?

[17:51] DrX: well I guess I missed it [17:51] kilrae_, the old convention was for 1.5 times RAM, but in modern day computing thats a waste of disk space. Go for a gb [17:51] DrX: anyhow this is good, the partition table is still there [17:51] I have 1gb ram and only 666 swap, is it small? [17:51] =P [17:51] jmdc: should I disconnect the Windows drive just in case? or just go on? [17:51] swap 2x RAM used to be the norm, but that's pretty much overkill with the large amount of RAM these days [17:52] has anyone tried zfs-fuse on hardy alpa 5? [17:52] DrX: I wouldn't worry [17:52] hischild he wants to install it :) [17:52] RootyRootRootW00: And you installed GTK+ 2.0 and its dev files? [17:52] lunks, you can have both if they are on different subnets, or you can use a network bridge if they are on the same subnet [17:52] g evening [17:52] jmdc: so what now? [17:52] Impy, probably easier then trying to fix his mouse and keyboard is to download the alternate cd and install from there [17:52] Squawk, But if I choose a network on nm-applet, it disconnects me [17:52] linduxed: try wget 'http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/iron_man/iron_man-30sec_sb_h720p.mov' [17:52] Squawk: hibernate copies the contents of RAM into swap, so I think you need more swap than RAM for it to work [17:53] yaro: I've been trying to find it in synaptic. am looking as we talk, hadn'tseen it yet, lots of related packages though [17:53] lunks, I never use guis for network config, so can't help with that [17:53] RootyRootRootW00: Okay. Gimme a sec,. [17:53] jmdc: install and see what happens or recovery mode and i think there should be a dpkg-reconfigure type command? [17:53] Squawk, hmm what do you use to setup wifi? =) [17:53] kilrae_, that assumes RAM is fully in use, but hmm you might have apoint [17:53] hi [17:53] it's possible that it could be fully in use sometime [17:53] RootyRootRootW00: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [17:54] lunks, I configure my network by hand (in /etc/network/). Though to be honest I havnt done wifi in ubuntu, only in gentoo. I connect using ethernet now [17:54] is there anyone having troubles with movies ?

[17:54] Impy, alright let me check [17:54] RootyRootRootW00: Since that second library you're having trouble installing is a dependency for GTK, it should install along with all you need. [17:55] yaro: ok, am doing it [17:55] thannoy: worked, was it the apostrophees? [17:55] DrX - why not try to mount it in the live cd, if it works pull any data you want to save - then you have it for sure [17:55] fabio, if someone else is having the problem what use is that. Ask how to solve that problem, provide deatilas of anything you have already tried, the application you are using, information you found in the logs etc [17:55] i know how to solve it [17:56] there is an unaswered question on the forum.. [17:56] hischild one second he made a mistake he's not tried the alternative cd yet! i'll get him to try it now sorry [17:56] jmdc: only need configuration, not the data [17:56] Impy, no problem, i've got the tim [17:56] *time [17:56] yaro: Broken packages: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57846/ [17:57] jmdc: there's WINE that took a while to setup [17:57] DrX - I haven't ever done it myself, but I googled and found dpkg-reconfigure lilo, you might try that [17:57] my nice programs running as root are still not nice enough to let normal user programs interrupt it. I have set the nice of the root run programs to the nice 20 and running top I see that the program's PRI is 39 and its NICE is 19, but my normal user programs are still running too far below that to interrupt it?

Because when you tell GRUB to do the things on that HOWOT, it will repair the menu.lst and get things to work. [18:05] The_PHP_Jedi, thanks but i speak spanish... a few english... [18:05] yaro: and it won't hose Windows? [18:05] DrX: You might have to manually add Vista back onto the menu.lst, but that's easy. [18:06] grub should detect vista, mine did [18:06] yaro: ok, here's goes nothing... [18:06] ubotu, Pici gracias a los dos... voy a intentar por ahi [18:06] bluefox83 DrX: Well okay then.

[18:12] bluefox83: :| [18:12] erUSUL: the only proprietry one released is 64 bit only [18:13] Anyone else have some ideas on DrX's problem? [18:13] right now i'm not even using a kernel that takes advantage of both cores, let alone 64 bit dual core.. [18:13] bluefox83: ndiswrapper is on the propietary category... you may need the 64 bit windows driver [18:13] joff: that's what i said [18:13] what's DrX's issue? [18:13] joff: < erUSUL> joff: exist for 64 bits afaik [18:13] erUSUL, oy, tracking that down is not gonna be easy..lol [18:14] erUSUL: ignore me, i missed that :) [18:14] yaro: 1: root (hd1,0) 2: kernel /bootvmlinuz-2.6.17-12-generic root=/dev/sdb1 ro quite splas-> 3: initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic 4: quiet 5: savedefault 6: boot [18:14] Okay, fishy problem here: Gusty Gibbon, 'sudo ifconfig eth1' works just fine, 'sudo ifconfig eth1 up' returns "No such file or directory." [18:14] joff: :) [18:14] not to mention, will my nvidia driver work in 64 bit? [18:14] don't use initrd if you can ! [18:14] bluefox84: Yes. [18:14] cool [18:15] bluefox84: I am on a 64-bit Ubuntu, it works excellently. [18:15] BRB. I need to take a break [18:15] burkmat: I don't know if it's related but I always use sudo ifup eth1 instead [18:15] ok, so i just need to track down my wireless driver, and then pick out the right kernel... [18:15] I'm wondering if anyone could help me with my problem [18:16] john, which is? [18:16] !ask [18:16] 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. :-) [18:16] jmdc: still getting "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" after repairing grub [18:16] Slart, Tried. It says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1". [18:16] Anyone know a good program for converting .ogg to .mp3? [18:16] burkmat: and your example works on my computer here.. [18:16] my CPU fan will not work on my Toshiba Satellite A105 [18:16] burkmat: do you have a network interface called eth1? [18:16] Slart, Yeah, I know... Works just fine for me aswell, but my friend on the phone is having this strange issue. [18:16] ffmpeg [18:17] faintofhearts: oggdec command to gat a wav and lame to get a mp3 .. [18:17] Alright [18:17] sox can also convert it [18:17] Slart, Yeah, 100% sure it works, but I just found out the "No file or dir" error was prefixed by "SCIOSS" something, so problem isn't with bash not finding command... I think I'll find abit more googling now. :) [18:17] Hello, has anyone any experience with ProMagic Plus? === dIpEsH is now known as waone [18:17] jmdc: should I try installing from the CD now?

[18:18] whats program accepts input from a capture card? ie, where i can watch cable on my PC [18:18] yaro: do you think the Ubuntu 7.10 CD will retain my prior Ubuntu 6.06 programs & settings? [18:18] what package would be a kid of qeuivalent of movie maker? [18:18] I actually have the same problem as johnquinn85, my Dell D820 fav is not operating in Ubuntu, anyone got any tips? [18:18] Hello together. My screen resolution goes to 640x480 after each restart of the X system. I'm running the newest nvidia driver (downloaded with envy). My xorg.conf looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57852/ [18:18] I've already tried removing the unwanted screen modes (as can be seen in the pastebin), but without success. I'd be glad if someone could help me out here, as I've run out of ideas. [18:18] DrX: don't think so. I suggest doing a backup. [18:19] yaro: and what does Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition mean? [18:19] !tv > Marfi (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:19] I have a question about OEM drives and linux [18:19] DrX you're trying to update to 7.10?

I can't use a keyboard... [18:20] thannoy: lame made .ogg.mp3 [18:20] XD [18:20] burkmat: can he do sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 up? [18:20] solexious, i can't really see how that would work... [18:20] harushimo - you shouldn't have a problem with that - just use gparted or qtparted to format the disk for you. [18:20] ZaphodBeeblebrox: are you still there? [18:20] I'm running 7.10 on a Toshiba Satellite A105, and I can't get the fan to work, so in return my laptop overheats. [18:21] DRebellion: I want to get it setup so i can ssh or vnc in to it [18:21] minimec, Nah, but figured it out abit. She's got a Broadcom 43xx card, so the issue is with the drivers, gonna have to use ndiswrapper. [18:21] does anyone have a solution? [18:21] joff: Yes [18:21] joff: I'm here [18:21] burkmat: ok === tgm4883 is now known as gardengnome [18:21] ZaphodBeeblebrox: what gfx card do you have, and what driver are you using?

[18:23] joff: NVidia 6440 if I'm not mistaken... I'm using Ubuntu's restricted drives. It works with every game but this one [18:23] johnquinn85 - type lsmod | grep tosh and see if you get any output. I'm fairly sure that there are kernel modules available for controlling acpi stuff ie fans etc [18:23] linduxed, perhaps Cinelerra http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinelerra [18:23] what kernel do i install for 64 bit dual core support? [18:23] jmdc: so why not try changing it to root (hd0,0)? [18:23] is it possible to increase my network buffer? [18:23] Hello. I'm installing Ubuntu for a friend. He already has Windows installed and wanted to dual-boot. I noticed, as soon as I booted up the computer, a program called ProMagic Plus (from www.wasay.com). It's one of those backup/recovery programs for Windows. Promagic Plus even has its own fat partition that's hidden in Windows. [18:23] hi, I need to increase the debugging/verbosity level of acpid into syslog and I edit the /etc/defaults/acpid file and add -d to OPTIONS variable. However, when I restart /etc/init.d/acpid I get all the log in the stdout/stderr(which is also a documented feature). How can I make acpid log these into /var/log/acpid as well? (-l option does not work either, neither does 2>&1 >> /var/log/acpid) === dIpS is now known as dips28 === dips28 is now known as dips [18:24] jmdc: now it's starting to boot! [18:24] What I want to know is, will Ubuntu be able to handle ProMagic Plus? Is it safe to install grub? (can I access Windows afterwards?) [18:24] ZaphodBeeblebrox: check in your synaptic and see if libc6 is installed [18:24] i have 7.10 installed.. there is an /etc/apache and /etc/apache2 dir.... how can i just use apache2 and delete the /etc/apache dir? [18:24] joff: k, hold on please [18:24] !ask [18:24] 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. :-) [18:24] joff: Yes, it is [18:25] Jadd799, probably, if it uses a fat partition, ubuntu wont destroy the partition unless you tell it to [18:25] hello, i'm attempting to setup vmware; however the installer needs linux-headers to build off of for one of the modules. Problem: linux-headers-2.6.24-8-server is not in the apt repo [18:25] erUSUL, please take a look on http://pastebin.ca/923612 [18:25] Hello together.

[18:25] jron enable all sources? === dips is now known as dipe [18:25] Buyydee, change your settings with nvidia-settings, and be sure to tell it to write settings to your config file [18:25] anyone know why 2.6.24-8-server is missing? [18:25] ZaphodBeeblebrox: sorry, i cant help you then, that was the only thing i know of, when i had a similar problem [18:25] johnquinn85 - if that command does not return any output, you will need to insert the required kernel modules using modprobe [18:26] bluefox83: That's what I've done, nvidia-settings as su of course. === dipe is now known as dips28 [18:26] beautifulsnow: yeah, 2.6.24-10 is there.... *-6 is not though [18:26] joff: Ok. Thanks for trying tho :) [18:26] John: cpu fans are normal controlled by the bios, does it work under any other os, windows for examle, its mostlikely to be a broken fan rather than ubuntu...

[18:27] congrats DrX [18:27] danand I am having the same problem as johnquinn85 regarding the laptop fan: so i used lsmod | grep dell, got snothing, tried lsmod |grep fan, got a number... waht about it? :p [18:27] btw, isn't this glitch something that should be reported to the dev team? [18:27] ah, thank you, jmdc =) assuming you are not a bot as well! =) [18:27] DrX what glitch [18:28] beautifulsnow - do you have a toshiba laptop too? [18:28] jron: that would be funny, a bot that tells people they're talking to bots [18:28] danand it's a dell d820, but my fan doesnt work etiher [18:28] how do i keep a module from being loaded at boot?

[18:29] DrX: a bug report is always useful [18:29] Buyydee, did you sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ? [18:29] bluefox83: but will I still be able to boot Windows? [18:29] beautifulsnow: when upgrading Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.10 (online) it errorneously changed root(0,0) in GRUB to root (0,1) (the latter being a second drive with Vista) [18:29] oh thanks [18:30] jmdc: how? where? [18:30] DrX: how did you solve the problem in the end? did you have grub pointing at the windows hard drive? [18:30] Jadd799, yeah, unless you tell it to destroy the windows partition...otherwise there's no reason why it shouldn't work [18:30] hello there! anyone around who knows how to setup a tftpd on ubuntu 7.10 ? [18:30] Buyydee, did you sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?

[18:31] beautifulsnow: i used that tutorial, but it does not work with ubuntu 7.10 for me [18:31] bluefox83: So it seems that the X11 itself is ok, as in the login screen, there is the correct resolution, but when I login, the resolution changes (under system>preferences>resolution there's 1680x1050 as well). [18:31] jquery [18:32] xobius: Not yet, what will this do? [18:32] Is it possible to run dual display without using proprietary drivers for an X3000 Intel chip and the nv driver? [18:32] Buyydee, i already told you how to fix it. theres nothing else to be done [18:33] ( in gutsy -- sorry ) [18:33] beautifulsnow - have you tried using the i8k utils. this is written mainly for inspiron laptops, but it can be used for others. the i8kutils package is the user space stuff. you can install this by doing an sudo apt-get install i8kutils. you will also require the i8k kernel module - so sudo modprobe i8k. [18:33] Buyydee, because I saw some thing incorrect "BoardName "vesa" and Modes "640x480@60" "1600x1200@60" [18:33] is there a yum repos for ubuntu? [18:33] buntTO then you should ask for help with the problem you had while installing [18:33] bluefox83: I might have missed that, as I ctrl-alt-backspaced to check what I just told you. Would you please repeat that? [18:33] xobius: OK, I'll try that. [18:34] beautifulsnow - to see info about that package type apt-cache show i8kutils [18:34] me again.. :( [18:34] is anyone having problems with gmail.com for me it not letting me in the standerd view? [18:34] DrX: I'm not sure how useful of a bug report can be filed in this case, because I think that bios setting you mentioned might be involved but we don't really know whats going on [18:34] thanks danand, will try :) [18:34] hinoma, I 'm using screenlets and when I click on show desktop icon it hide all screenlets can anyone help me? [18:34] DrX: Here is were to file a bug report in case you're curios: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/+login [18:34] ereal1: Don't know. I use it's IMAP feature now.

[18:34] Hi, I've seen the ubuntu brainstorm site [18:34] looks pretty cool [18:35] do me a favor login to your account and let me know [18:35] in fact I would like to participate. I already am an user of launchpad and signed the ubuntu code of conduct, how do I become a member of QA if possible at all? [18:35] thanks danand, that package should work, D820 is a latitude :D [18:35] Buyydee, make sure you tell nvidia-settings to write to the config file, don't just hit "ok" [18:35] DrX: but its really cool to think of filing bug reports! It helps ubuntu get better for sure [18:36] ereal1: What do you mean by "standard view" ? [18:36] ok wll I guess it look like 1.0 web best I can discribe [18:36] I could take a screenshot and send it your way [18:36] now how do i load a module at boot? [18:36] so danand, I should install, and then make sure the mod runs at boot? [18:37] beautifulsnow - i use that package on my dell latitude c400 :) - just let me know if you get stuck. By the way, i8kutils _should_ also mean all your fn+blah buttons work :) [18:37] when im lognig in it take a long time [18:37] you are not clicking on link to try to get "standard view" ? [18:37] whats a quick terminal command to empty a txt/log file? [18:37] Fn works for me danand, so do volume buttons and such [18:37] dirtyhand: Empty? rm ?

[18:40] can I safely upgrade 6.x to 7.10 without losing my programs & settings?

I have no idea what to do at this point, and no matter where I turn I can't get help. If none of you know anything about joining a windows domain, can any of you direct me to somewhere that I might be able to find help? :((( [18:43] danand, I got the D820 at dell refurbished, so cheap :-3, so good, so good, so good! [18:43] Pici: how do I know what version I had? [18:43] MasterShrak, yep [18:43] If someone could just explain to me what i need to do [18:43] DrX: lsb_release -a on the terminal should tell you [18:43] Pici: and why can't you go from 6x to 7.1 directly? [18:43] blice, samba? [18:43] how do i tell aptitude not ro treat recommendations as dependencies? i added Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; to .aptitude/config, but it's ignored [18:43] *to [18:43] DrX: Because its not designed to do that. [18:43] bluefox83 you wont be able to use a 64 bit kernel with that i dont believe, youll have to reinstall with 64 bit ubuntu [18:43] sorry, i what i mean is when you log on to a wireless network, you enter a password and ubuntu stores that information so i do not have to enter it again, i was wondering what directory that information is stored in so i can prevent my computer from auto logging on to a network i do not want it to [18:44] I have virtualbox-ose but need USB support so might install virtualbox instead. Will I lose my settings/images etc? [18:44] notdarkyet a shot in the dark-- /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [18:44] beautifulsnow: Yeah, samba. Samba, winbind, and uhm... krb.

[18:44] what exactly do i need to do to make ndiswrapper load at boot? [18:44] bluefox83 yes, i think synaptic can export some things though, so you can get them back, but you should save any valuable information somewhere else [18:44] nope...

To my understanding a distro upgrade will not work in your situation, as there are newer versions of the os available. As far as i know the transitional upgrades are removed from the default repositorys.

[19:37] Buenas tardes a todos desde MEXICO [19:37] frank23, yeah have that in there ... didn't make much of a change whether it's in or out, both give the same (black and white) output [19:37] sudo apt-get upgrade [19:37] !es | DJNOS [19:37] DJNOS: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

[19:38] DrX: Did you run apt-get update before you upgraded? [19:38] Gracias ubotu solo queria pasar a saludar. [19:38] Pici: yes, that installed 4 updates and then I restarted [19:38] kavit - do you mean Userspace firmware loading support? [19:38] hischild: one RCA cable (often uses a s-video to rca adapter) [19:38] Pici: i am running a process that converts mp2 to mp4 in the background as root, because the content is being added to the server as several users, so root is the only one who can effectively chmod, chown, etc. I can tell it is cheating because the multimedia skips and because I have been monitoring the usage of nice via top. As I increase nice of the root, the process automatically gets more PRI. [19:38] I am having problems logging into my Ubuntu machine via SSH. Even though I put in the right user name and password, I keep getting "Permission denied." [19:38] DrX: So What version of Ubuntu are yoy running now?

[19:40] Pici: yes, but gksudo didn't work for this command [19:40] frank23, i'm not sure whether it is an RCA cable so i'll explain what i do know ... i've got an SVIDEO output from my laptop, which goes to a SCART plug in the back of my tv alongside of the SVIDEO plug is a 3,5mm sound plug (the normal headset connector) for the sound.

[19:40] would someone help me with vbox ? [19:40] someone earlier said you can enable root login for GNOME -- how? [19:41] deadlyallance335, what's up with your vbox?

[19:41] hischild: i don't know what a SCART plug is... [19:41] kavit - if you do that module is called FW_LOADER i think. if you cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep FW you should see the options your kernel uses [19:41] I am having problems logging into my Ubuntu machine via SSH. Even though I put in the right user name and password, I keep getting "Permission denied."

[19:43] deadlyallance335, depends on which direction you wish to go ... if you want data from outside your vbox available inside your vbox, i'm suggesting to use shared folders ... [19:43] where can I find someone to help me with chat room scripts [19:44] jpatrick: nope, still same error message. [19:44] Pici: thanks [19:44] kavit - if you do that module is called FW_LOADER i think. if you cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep FW you should see the options your kernel uses [19:44] yaro: interesting. try "sudo aptitude reinstall openssh-server" on your server [19:44] hischild if i share my folders how do i set it up to access them from inside vbox [19:44] eeepcsx66, sudo nano to edit or gksudo gedit [19:44] k [19:44] deadlyallance335, do you know how to use a network share on xp?

[19:45] DrX, Running gnome as root is not a good idea... [19:45] hischild: did you try the s-video instead of composite in your xorg.conf [19:45] danand: ah ok. so its compiled into the kernel? [19:45] hischild yes [19:45] deadlyallance335, you can use a vbox share the same way ... only you have to use the vbox sharing option (somewhere in the menu) to set them [19:46] how can I switch out of a full screen terminal server client window?

[19:46] Jack_Sparrow: Well, Captain Jack, if you've got a better idea on how to get 6.10 upgraded to 7.04, I'm all ears [19:46] frank232, i think i did that in the first place ... let me check without it [19:46] hischild thanks ill take a look [19:46] !upgrade [19:46] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [19:46] Jack_Sparrow: I typed that in the terminal and nothing popped up...besides editing on the bottom...I need the notepad thing to edit...then save? [19:46] Yasumoto: Reinstalling it didn't work. [19:46] sizzle - yes. on my system that option is compiled in rather than being a loadable module. i just use a stock kernel - 2.6.22-14-generic [19:46] danand: thanks for your help [19:46] DrX: None of the instructions require you to login to Gnome as root.

But, say, for example, I'm tunneling from another machine, it says permission denied after I put in the exact same info. [19:47] anyone know the url for the latest backports for gutys? I need a newer libc6 than 2.6.1 [19:47] frank232, unfortunately still a no :( [19:48] Wanderer: we would never backport something like that (afaik) [19:48] wow, that's alot [19:48] Can anyone help with pidgin ?

I feel like a complete newbie asking that, but since it's my first amd64 install, I'm stumped.... compiling a vanilla 2.6.24.3 kernel on a kubuntu hardy alpha 5 install (gcc 4.2) gives me a kernel package that's nearly 200MB in size. in comparison to the ubuntu kernel, all the module files are 2-3 times the size. any ideas/pointers/rtfm hints? [19:59] xobius: It disabled the drivers and I was only able to use the shell.

[20:02] i also get a bunch of #If division by 0 [20:02] yes i did [20:02] xobius: No, it's the same as before, but I'm a little tired now, I'll try it again tomorrow.

[20:17] DrHala1: why do you want to remove update-manager? [20:17] Anyone know how to get "network manager" to recognize my wireless? iwconfig recognizes both eth1 and eth0. And yes unfortunately it is a Broadcom chipset. [20:17] or use the alien system to convert the rpm? [20:17] Flannel, cause its borken and apt-get cant fix it [20:18] Yasumoto: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57868/ [20:18] DrHala1: well, you can remove it, and yes, you'll need to remove ubuntu-desktop, but that's not the end of the world (its just a metapackage). What's broken about update-manager though? [20:18] Flannel did you upgrade it via iso or onlide update?

[20:19] Flannel, E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [20:19] flannel Dapper is the previous one release? [20:19] DrHala1: Oh, that's not an issue with update-manager, that's just a general apt issue. removing update-manager won't do anything to affect that [20:20] hello, how can I give access to directory which is owned by another user, I want to create a symlink in another users dir or something like that [20:20] Flannel, so wheres the prob [20:20] chemicalgr: Its from June of 2006, so three releases ago. === |muelli| is now known as Muelli [20:20] Hello, is there an utility that I can right click, and say "mount my USB Drive now, kthnxbai"? Because right now, I have to unplug/plug my drive to make ubuntu mount it [20:20] DrHala1: It depends on what the error actually is. Do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [20:21] Flannel, reinstalling fixed it though ;) (im using 8.4 btw think something went wrong during the update) [20:21] apt-get install vmware-server ---> E: Couldn't find package vmware-server [20:21] depinko, you can add the the two users to the same group and then give read/write permisisons to that group to that directory [20:22] flannel, why is that seems that you don't help community to develop (lol just kitting) [20:22] DrHala1: ah, well, there may indeed still be bugs with Hardy, it is alpha software afterall. Furhter issues should be asked in #ubuntu+1 [20:22] chemicalgr: What? [20:22] is there a command for lamp to make it go live? right now, I have my port forwarding enabled but can still only access the site from my local network [20:22] Tor33: so lets assume they are both in users group, now I need just to give them permissions, right? [20:23] bluewraith: It is "live" by default. Are you sure your port forwarding is working properly? [20:23] yaro: have you been able to ssh into the remote machine before? [20:23] depinko, right with the right permissions to the directory [20:23] woops. wrong key combination :/. [20:23] Tor33: which would be best? [20:24] Flannel, forwarding from 80 to my servers port 80.. thats how it should be right? [20:24] Yasumoto: Yeah, on a previous install of Ubuntu on the target machine. [20:24] how do i find out what the parent of a process is? [20:24] bluewraith: Yes, and your sure the IP your connecting to is the proper one? [20:24] flannel, a freind here answered in the question why should i upgrade my feisty to gutsy and he answered that by upgrading feisty push along the open source project (it was a good answer) [20:25] Flannel, yes. even confirmed it from the router [20:25] depinko, not sure I follow you, which would be best between what? [20:25] sorry for my english [20:25] yaro: on the remote machine, type out your password in vi or the terminal or something, just to make sure that it's correct [20:25] yaro: (like the keyboard hasn't been mapped differently, for instance) [20:26] Yasumoto: By remote machine, you mean the one that is attempting to tunnel?

I have mounted the image at /media/image, and gotten apt-cdrom to recognize it using "apt-cdrom -m -d /media/image add" (it said "This disc is called: 'Ubuntu-Server 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Release i386 (20070415)'"). however, when I run "apt-get clean" then "apt-get update", I see "Ign cdrom://Ubuntu-Server 7.04 ...".. why is the cdrom ignored? [20:27] chemicalgr: Ah. Well, Dapper is still a current version, and can upgrade straight to Hardy too. I've still filed my fair share of bug reports as well. [20:27] eigma, it might be older then your current system? [20:27] depinko, I would give read/write permission to the parent directory to the gourp [20:27] hischild: I'm almost certain this is the exact CD I installed the system from [20:28] Yasumoto: The password is correct. [20:28] hischild: how can I find out? [20:28] yaro: brutal.. I can't think of what it could be :/ [20:28] eigma, there was a command to find out ... [20:28] i forgot it though :( [20:28] eigma: Do you have no other sources? (internet ones) [20:28] Flannel look me I'm happy with feisty but newer is better than the oldies [20:28] I hadn't done a "sudo apt-get update" since ticking the box in Synaptic [20:29] Flannel: I do, but I want to use the cdron whenever possible for speed [20:29] eigma; you should edit your configuration to allow the cdrom to act as a repo, i believe what you are describing is something in the direction of >apt-on-cd [20:29] * beautifulsnow asks: What's your favorite file manager and why --- feel free to PM me, so you don't flood the channel :) [20:29] yaro: this might help: https://lists.sdsc.edu/pipermail/npaci-rocks-discussion/2006-August/020152.html [20:29] !poll [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about poll - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:29] eigma: apt-get seems to ignore package lists that are already up-to-date [20:29] obfusco: that is why I did "apt-get clean" beforehand [20:29] is there a way to roll back the sound card drivers? [20:29] eigma: The CD rom will be older than any internet source (because it doesn't have any updates), so apt will use the newer ones preferentially. [20:29] is there a hardware testing program that runs on linux? I would like to find out if certain hardware might have problems working on Linux. I tried applying all the tests in IBM's PC Doctor Software but that runs on PCDOS. actually the laptop is freezing randomly, and I am looking for a way to find out what's wrong [20:29] Flannel: it's possible that there have been no updates to a particular package, no? [20:30] apt-get should remind the user if they got no results. [20:30] I'm going to try to install a package for which I know the cdrom has the latest version [20:30] try googling your last command w. reste to defaults [20:30] ok so when i setup dual monitor, the two monitor start to become scrolly, as if the desktop is bigger than the screen. it scrolls up and down side to side to [20:30] is there a way i can install the sound card drivers and such that came on the CD-rom? [20:30] all:try googling your last command w. reste to defaults [20:31] yaro: have you tried rebooting? [20:31] eigma: Yeah, I'm not sure how that works though apt-cache wise. You can verify your CDrom has been added by vieweing your sources.list, and if you want to make sure it's working properly, you can remove your othre sources temporarily [20:31] all: you can try using ndiswrapper for windoze drivers [20:31] Yasumoto: It is persistant. [20:31] eigma: clean only removes packages, not package lists [20:32] is there any fix to scrolly desktops? [20:32] ofusco: my next question is obvious: how do I flush the cached package lists/ [20:32] Yasumoto: Here's my config: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57871/ [20:33] I would like to have the default file creation privileges allow group write access, for everyone in my www group. any suggestions on where to start? === anthony is now known as speel [20:34] yaro: uncomment line 50 [20:34] yaro: that might be it [20:34] hi antone know where to fiond the brainstorm developers ? === erle64- is now known as erle- [20:34] hi anyone know where to find the brainstorm developers ? [20:34] Yasumoto: K. set it. How do I restart the Daemon? [20:34] ace_suares: Looking to file bugs? or what? [20:35] mikejoconnor: umask [20:35] Flannel, I can file bugs in launchpad ? [20:35] >ctrl>alt>backspace [20:35] eigma: not sure, why do you need to? [20:35] ace_suares: Yeah, that's where you'd file them. Against the -website if you can't find a brainstorms specific thing. [20:35] Just a small issue with the voting. [20:35] yaro: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:36] so if there's an IRC for them it would be quicker. === brandon__ is now known as bsquizz === kLownish_ is now known as kLownish [20:37] ace_suares: bug resolution is usually pretty quick when dealing with the website [20:37] Yasumoto: No go. [20:37] i'm running ubuntu 7.10 on a dell inspiron 600m, and i can't get my sound working. i tried doing the series of module-assistant commands i've seen on a couple forums, but i've still got no sound. anyone dealt w/ this before? [20:38] yaro: yaro would you mind re-pasting your config? [20:38] sorry for the double yaro ~_~ [20:38] The modified onbe? [20:38] yaro: yes please [20:38] hi guys, running ubuntu 7.10 with samba here, i can copy files from XP computers just fine, but I can't copy files from Vista computers. the copy starts, then after a few megs stalls. anyone know why? [20:38] If you want to enable automatic login on Ubuntu Server (no graphical) [20:39] I mean, I want to enable automatic login on Ubuntu Server (no graphical), how can I do this? [20:39] Yasumoto: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57872/ [20:39] komputes: Automatic login for... what? === bort_ is now known as nclife [20:39] Flannel: for the computer [20:39] I just did a fresh install of gutsy due to some issues, and i cant seem to get compiz working.... it keeps telling me "Desktop effects could not be enabled."... any help would be greatly appreciated [20:39] thanks wols [20:39] does anyone know how to tunnel http traffic through ssh? [20:39] that's exactly what I needed [20:39] Praticle: Do you have your driver installed? [20:39] komputes: Right, but what are you ultimately trying to accomplish? [20:40] Flannel: automatic login [20:40] Hello, I could use a hand, I've been foolin with ubuntu-mobile and somehow wrecked my login. X crashes on login and so I'm force to use failsafe gnome. Can anyone give me a hand?? [20:40] yaro: i believe i do [20:40] say im booting off a livecd, and have just copied /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1 (new hard disk), and have now put /dev/sdb1 as the only drive in my laptop (and it now becomes /dev/sda1) how do i install a bootloader there? i have the OS on the device, but no bootloader. [20:40] tomd123: to one server or many? [20:40] tomd123: look at the -L command line option, like "-L80:example.com:80" or the "-D" option [20:40] Praticle: Check your restricted drivers manager [20:40] obfusco one [20:40] yaro: I'm going to diff yours with mine [20:40] Hi, does anybody have a good resource for fighting random lockups/freeze? [20:40] komputes: just so you can have an open terminal sitting around? Are you trying to run something at boot? or what? [20:40] any idea why my spdif doesn't work? [20:40] Flannel: just the login is all [20:40] tomd123: as eigma said, -L [20:41] yaro: i had it selected but it seems to have been disabled somehow, thx alot [20:41] !doesntwork | sorsis [20:41] sorsis: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [20:41] obfusco and eigma thankyou [20:41] * squarebracket laughs [20:42] sorsis: motherboard spdif or a seperate sound card? [20:42] Flannel: I know if graphical mode I can do System => Administration => Login Screen Setup and select auto login but I don't know how to do that on server [20:42] komputes: Right. I'm just wondering what you're hoping to accomplish/gain/whatever through it. [20:43] Flannel: I'm trying to accomplish auto-login [20:43] Can anyone have a look at my .xsession-errors file and tell me what I broke? [20:43] Flannel: do you know how to do it? [20:43] siema [20:43] komputes, i think Flannel is trying to find out 'why' you want to auto login [20:43] eigma: to clear the cache of a package list, comment to repo (the deb-cd entry in this case), run apt-get update, uncomment, and update again. Refetches package file for me [20:44] bod_: I understand, so you think he doesn't know... [20:44] I think it was using the cdrom all along - I uninstalled a trial package and reinstalled it (with clean's in between) and it went very fast, whicih leads me to believe it was off the cdrom [20:44] why is my desktop scrolly when i have dual monitors and both at a resolution of 1280x1240? [20:44] komputes, i think i dont know, what can you gain from auto login? apart from a few more seconds [20:45] komputes: He's trying to find out *why* so he can perhaps suggest alternatives, because it seems random. You literally just want a box that always has an open terminal? For what purpose really? [20:45] bod_: there is no keyboard [20:45] komputes, then what good does an autologin do? [20:45] Flannel: there is no keyboard [20:45] yaro: darn. no luck. apparently you can re-comment that password line, since that was the only difference between our config files [20:45] im a bit closer now, the driver is enabled but now its saying "The composite extension is not available." [20:45] aghachi: probably the resolution is two high, two monitors may be contributing. Do both monitors display something? [20:45] hischild: you can't very well login with no keyboard [20:45] hi there is any mode to play yoube videos on totem? [20:46] Yasumoto: Maybe something else is conflicting with it. [20:46] komputes, you cant do anything either without a login can you [20:46] killown: downloaded flv diles? [20:46] killown, you can fetch youtube vid's with some plugins .. which you can play back later [20:46] komputes: What are you going to be doing after terminal login, with no keyboard? [20:46] yaro: yeah, must be.. [20:46] Flannel: auto-run x [20:46] I've gotta get going, but if you figure out what's wrong, send me a pm [20:47] obfusco, search and browse YouTube.com video files all within Totem [20:47] komputes: Why don't you just run X to begin with? [20:47] yaro: I'll search around google too [20:47] yes no the res works if i have 1 monitor [20:47] hischild, hmm [20:47] Flannel: I have all my scripts in place, but I need to know how to auto-login in server [20:47] but when i put two they both become scrolly obfusco [20:47] komputes: You're suffering from NIH. We're trying to help you. [20:47] I'm trying to connect to my LAMP server, but can only do so using my local ip address. I have port forwarding set up to go from port 80 to my server ip port 80. any idea why? [20:48] yaro: im a bit closer now, the driver is enabled but now its saying "The composite extension is not available." [20:48] bluewraith: do you know if your isp is blocking port 80?? [20:48] aghachi: do both monitors support the resolution? [20:48] yes [20:48] hi, i took out a network card from my ubuntu box as i just want to use the onboard 10/100 intel nic. I rebooted the box and it's not finding anything. lspci shows the card. how would i make it work? [20:48] i ran it like this in win xp [20:48] komputes: http://linuxgazette.net/issue69/henderson.html scroll down to "Automating Login", Ubuntu doesn't use inittab, but it does something similar (in a different file). Depending on the version you're using, it'll be different (upstart or not). With upstart, it's somewhere in /etc/event.d/ [20:48] kevi1, i dont know. i tried to forward 8090 to 90, and connect to that port, but it still didnt work [20:49] they both support 1280x1240 [20:49] Buzzons: It will be eth1 now and not eth0 === duniamasak is now known as GodWing [20:49] ifconfig doesn't find anything for eht0,eth1 or eth2 [20:49] ugh, where do I get the sysconfig package? [20:49] komputes: But again, you're going about this in an entirely backwards and roundabout way. And we're just trying to help you get your setup working as efficiently as possible. Rube Goldberg setups aren't ever good. [20:50] kevi1, sorry, 8090 to 80. [20:50] humm seems it's on eth3 maybe [20:50] Buzzons: Is the onboard nic enabled in bios? [20:50] wtf [20:50] genii, aye [20:50] Flannel: just simply say you don't need to login automatically to start x, i understand that [20:50] bluewraith: if you are trying be an internal connection to your switch.. many ISP switch does only forward external incomming connection, no one comming from the internal network. [20:50] is there a way to set it to be eth0? [20:50] Flannel: but let's just say I wanted a dead shell with no keyboard, what would I need to do [20:50] hi [20:50] aghachi: do you get scrolly with a lower res? [20:50] Buzzons, you tried to run dhclient? [20:50] obfusco whats my condition called so i search google? [20:51] bluewraith: does it work on other computers on the local network or only the server? [20:51] obfusco lemme check [20:51] Praticle: Try reinstalling XGL [20:51] killown: looks like it is possible http://tecnocode.co.uk/2007/10/12/totem-youtube-plugin/ though it requires compiling from SVN source [20:51] yaro: how would i go about that? [20:51] what would happen if i used NTFSclone and tried to unpack an image onto a bigger destination partition? [20:51] bluewraith: try using an external proxy so the connection will come from the internet and will be more likely to be rerouted by your switch [20:51] kevi1, i'm not quite sure on that one [20:52] thannoy, i'll give that a shot. got a good one to try? [20:52] praticle: Uh, check for the packages in Synaptic? [20:52] Buzzons: If it's the only one now in the box, edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and comment out/remove the old entries for eth0,eth1 etc [20:52] yaro: ok [20:52] obfusco it becomes even more scrolly! its like using zoom!!!!! [20:52] * beautifulsnow asks: I can watch youtube videos, so that means I have flash installed, right? Though when I go online to watch Lost, it says I dont have flash 8 installed [20:52] obfusco, I had see it [20:53] Anyone know how to make the msttcorefonts display correctly when editing documents? [20:53] Bo^Dick: You get a partition the same size as original and then spare space after [20:53] genii : fair play. next qwuestion, i edited /etc/network/interfaces and changed the eth0 settings to eth3 [20:53] aghachi: more scrolly at lower res?! [20:53] then did an ifconfig eth2 down eth2 up [20:53] ethtool reports link is up, but no ip etc has been given [20:54] Buzzons: Changes in that file won't take effect unless you reboot or restart udev [20:54] thannoy, i cant connect via proxy, either. the shieldsup scan report all ports as stealthed [20:54] beautifulsnow: are you using firefox? [20:54] obfusco: yes i am [20:54] Would anyone be able to help me out with x crashing imediatley upon longin, I have a .xsession-errors file ready to go?? [20:54] obfusco yea! it like the zoom in xp u know? how it scrolls around when it zoomed in??? its like 800x600 but streached to fit 19 inch as well as my 17inch but one more thing also get sdisabled my extra effects :( [20:55] beautifulsnow: go to about:plugins and look under shockwave flash for the version number [20:55] obfusco when i mirror the 2 screens it ok [20:55] obfusco: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 [20:55] aghachi: ok mirrored at the higher res? [20:55] genii: unpartitioned spare space then? [20:56] i think any res [20:56] when the 2 screen do the same thing [20:56] <^-Super_Treje-^> sera a tutti [20:56] Bo^Dick: Yes [20:56] beautifulsnow: yeah, looks like you have flash.. try using a different site? [20:56] aghachi: what video devce are you running dual screens with? [20:57] nvdia 7900... i think it may be the drivers [20:57] genii: that would imply that NTFSclone would be capable of modifying the partition table (the last 64 bytes of the first 512) [20:57] beautifulsnow - Does Firefox say you dont have Flash (yellow bar) or does the website show its own message? [20:57] aghachi: hmm.. my Pc is at home and i can't remember hat card i have, but i think its a 7900 [20:57] how do i manuelly install the linux x64 ver i downloaded at the site [20:57] like it says restriced [20:58] obfusco and chazco, I have flash installed, I can see you tube, you tube video, SFIR text, those annoying flash ads, those annoying flash navigations... [20:58] in my driver settings [20:58] beautifulsnow: what is the website you are having trouble with? [20:58] beautifulsnow - Then my guess would be the site has some sort of script to check for Flash, that probably checks for Windows or checks in some windows specific way [20:58] aghachi: i just use restricted driver manager, then install nvidia-settings-manager i think., and use it to setup dual screens how i want ti [20:58] indygunfreak do u no how i can do it in ubuntu? [20:58] aghachi: uh, cuz i run dual screens [20:59] 32bit though, so that may be your issue... 64bit is to much freakin hassle right now. [20:59] hmmm ill try that my prob is that it scrolly when i put dual; [20:59] the site had 64 bit ubuntu [20:59] genii: have you used ntfsclone yourself? [20:59] aghachi: what site? [21:00] how do i connect epson projector to my laptop [21:00] Anyone know how to make the msttcorefonts display correctly when editing documents? They appear to have their spacing/padding missed out [21:00] obfusco, http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing [21:00] ubuntu [21:00] I switched to a different monitor, that won't let me use the high rez my gui is set to, so now when I reboot, I cant get even as far as the login screen. I have to use a command line for everything. [21:00] obfusco, nevermind,ill watch on virtual box [21:00] beautifulsnow: ok [21:00] obfusco, thanks [21:00] So I need to know how to command line reset it to 800x640 or w/e. [21:00] twiztr: you need to reconfigure x [21:00] indugunfreak http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [21:00] i dled the first one it didnt even install [21:01] so i dled the second one and it installed [21:01] Bo^Dick: That prgram specifically I don't know. But if you image any drive on a bit by bit basis with whichever program then restore it to a partition larger than it ws originally, it only occupies it's original space and the tail end is free. dd works this way for instance [21:01] IndyGunFreak:apt reconfigure ? [21:01] aghachi: well i know they hve a 64bit version, that doesn't mean you have tod ownload it. [21:01] IndyGunFreak: What's the full command I would know. [21:01] indygunfreak now ur telling me i need 32bit? errr [21:01] twiztr: hold on a sec.. i'll find it for you [21:01] how do i connect my epson projector to my laptop [21:01] IndyGunFreak: Thanks. :) [21:01] genii: ok, thanks [21:01] aghachi: i didn't tell you to download 64bit, i'm just telling you 64bit has a lot of hassles involved that i don't like. [21:01] indygunfreak my windows was 32 bit [21:02] aghachi: ok.. and? [21:02] hello is there anyone that can help me [21:02] I need some help. Each time I log into my system my Icon Theme and My Background revert back to Ubuntu default. I have to go into Appearance and Customize my custom theme. [21:02] Bo^Dick: np [21:02] DanceAddict: Just as your question. :)_ [21:02] indygunfreak i kno lol my friend told me, so i didnt kno theres a 32 bit ver..... where can i find that [21:02] i would think the site would have it [21:02] My metacity theme stays the same just my Background and Icons revert [21:02] aghachi: 32 bit version of what? [21:02] I need to connect my projector to my lap top and I dont know how?? [21:02] ubuntu [21:02] i like to use the ghost philosophy when backing up stuff (it's so incredibly much faster) [21:02] aghachi: On the site. [21:03] twiztr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg run the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command, take generic defaults, to get back to the GUI, then configure it how you want it [21:03] Just select the downoad thing [21:03] twiztr http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [21:03] that site? [21:03] however, if the source is very fragmented so will the copy be [21:03] aghachi: yes, 32bit is on the ubuntu site..look at the name of the iso.. i386 is 32bit [21:03] aghachi: Yea. Just select i386 instead of the amd64 install. [21:03] DanceAddict: cable-wise or configuration-wise? [21:04] IndyGunFreak: Beat me to it. :) [21:04] both Im a complete novice [21:04] twiztr: did you get what i said above? [21:04] the one that says sndard personal? [21:04] I have connected the cables but it will not recognise the computer [21:04] IndyGunFreak: Yea I did. I'm going to switch ttys, and try it out. [21:05] i dled that and it wouldnt install, find kernals etc. [21:05] Flannel: I enjoy making machines that are extremely complicated apparatuses that perform a very simple, easy task in an indirect and convoluted way. Just kidding, now that I know how to do the auto login, how would you startx and applications within it, just by pressing the power button? === ehird` is now known as ehird [21:05] I have have also tried pressing Fn F7 [21:05] twiztr: just remember, generic defaults.. doesn't hagve to be perfect, just get you back to the GUI, then you can fix things [21:06] indygunfreak: twiztr: i tried to isntal that first one but it wouldnt install [21:06] aghachi: wouldn't install, bre a bit more specific. [21:06] anybody know of an IRC server/chan for rhythmbox? [21:06] aghachi: and second, if you ot 64bit to install, 32bit will install. [21:06] i need to find out how to repair a corrupted ipod [21:06] egc: #rhythmbox [21:06] komputes: You'd need to have it execute that command whenever you login. Which means it'd have to go in your bashrc, which also means you'll be restarting a new X process every time you start a new terminal. Not a good setup. [21:06] question can anyone answer when packages in the repositeries will be updated? its all good and dandy bringing out new versions every 6 months ,but whats the point when nobody seems to bother updating packages [21:06] egc: do you need to save the music thats on it? [21:06] nope [21:07] just open it like a hard drive, delete everything, unmount, then remount and rewrite everything. [21:07] i believe thats what i done. [21:07] ere4si: tried that...guess it either isnt used or im the only one currently in it [21:07] egc: does gtkpod have a tool to do that? [21:07] Flannel: except I don't want the user to see a login prompt [21:07] indygunfreak: when i was in the boot menu the countdown didnt install and pushing enter wouldnt isntall either, i went into text mode and typed the install command and it wouldnt install then it would give kernal errors, so my friend suggested installing the second one and it worked. [21:08] DanceAddict: are you running the latest version (7.10 aka gutsy) ? [21:08] What is the /opt/ directory for? [21:08] egc: yep - you're right [21:08] aghachi: that suggests a bad burn, more than it "wouldnt install" [21:08] obfusco: thansk for asking... its the config that wont work. The proj will not recognise the computer and I have tried Fn F7 [21:08] IndyGunFreak: yeah I browsed to it with nautilus, and deleted a file that was probably needed, and now it's crashing rhythmbox [21:08] IndyGunFreak: good idea with gtkpod though, ill try that too [21:09] indygunfreak.... really!?!? hmm i went through freakn 3 cds for it lol. maybe it could be [21:09] komputes: Like I said. *don't* do it that way. [21:09] egc: #rhythmbox IRC channel on irc.gimp.net. [21:09] Devourer: see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES for an explanation [21:09] ere4si: thx! [21:09] Yes I have just been informed that I am running Gutsy 7.10 [21:09] k [21:09] I need a simple answer from you guys, then I'll not bother you. I just need to enable myself to allow mount/unmount and write access to my other hard drives [21:09] Flannel: so when you say " you'll be restarting a new X process every time you start a new terminal", even ctrl alt F1 will restart an X session [21:09] aghachi: well, if it failed on you 3x, its either you, or the iso file.. i'd download an iso from a different server, and when you burn it, burn it slow... 2-4x is best. [21:09] Thanks everyone, well I'm going to be off. [21:09] DanceAddict: what is your screen resolution? [21:09] indygunfreak: so 32bit will help out my graphics problem [21:09] DanceAddict: use System->Administration->Screens and Graphics [21:09] Anyone available to help with some iptables configuration questions? I'm trying to set up a home server using Ubuntu so I can stream music to my other PCs, and I want to set it up so requests from outside my internal network are forbidden. [21:09] aghachi: all i can say, is dual screens run perfectly for me..

[21:10] bazhang, hello! my wireless is working!!! could you tell me, why cant i set my resolution higher than 800x600? :S pls help! [21:10] DanceAddict: the projector should show up as screen 2 [21:10] aghachi: well, thats not definitely your problem, but for burning iso's, slower is usually better === leopoldina is now known as asdfkhlljo [21:10] i accidently removed nm-applet from my top panel, how do i re-add it? [21:10] do the newer linux ghost softwares support features like adjusting the partition size to a new destination if its bigger or smaller? [21:10] rinaldi_, have you installed samba to the running live cd? === asdfkhlljo is now known as dasdfhjwieu [21:10] indygunfreak i burend it at 48x... ill make one more cd at 4x... [21:10] hello, could someone help me with my ubuntu desktops please. They don't seem to be linked up. If I move a window half way out, it doesn't show the other half in the next desktop. [21:10] komputes: Setup your server to start X automatically (well GDM), and automatically login with your user. [21:10] ere4si: yep, it prompted me to when i went to "shared folders" [21:11] indygunfreak thanx for ur help! [21:11] k [21:11] aghachi: certainly worth a try..... might consider another ISO [21:11] brb.. just updated and half to restart [21:11] could anybody tell me, why cant i set my resolution higher than 800x600 ? [21:11] ajbrun: is compiz enabled? [21:11] yes [21:11] indygunfreak i got it off the website though... u mean i should torrent another 1? [21:11] DaveEngland, what kind of graphics card you got? [21:11] Flannel: I know, i'm asking how [21:11] ere4si: woah, now its up nevermind. seemed it needed 10 mins === [p4u]ChampS is now known as ChampS_ [21:12] err....What kind do you have? [21:12] rinaldi_, hehe :) [21:12] ajbrun: do you have the cube turned on? [21:12] favoritefood0, i have a nVidia GeForce 6200 [21:12] i accidently removed nm-applet from my top panel, how do i re-add it? [21:12] howdy [21:12] yes, but it still happens with compiz off [21:12] it's like each desktop is it's own and not linked to any of the others [21:12] hello, I am trying to figure out what AHCI is. Is that the software RAID provided by the mobo? [21:13] update to 7.04 is asking "replace the customized configuration file '/etc/login.defs'? You will lose any changes you hae made to this configuration file if you choose to replace it..." implications? [21:13] ajbrun: that's normal w/o compiz on, i think [21:13] gnychis, right click the panel and select add [21:13] DaveEngland; Does it require an extra power source, like instead of just plugging it in, it requires an extra plug? [21:13] favoritefood0, no, no extra plug! [21:13] komputes: Install ubuntu-desktop metapackage, and it will setup GDM to starting by default (just like regular desktop systems) [21:13] DaveEngland, you can try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you are not able to set the resolution via the gui [21:13] ah ok - well i've turned it back on now and it's still happening [21:13] ere4si: and then what? I tried adding "network monitor" but it seems that its not the same [21:13] i installed linux vserver by compiling a deb package using make-kpkg. but now apt-get dist upgrade is failing because it cant find the pkg [21:13] DaveEngland; So it has no extra connectors on the inside of your case for anything? Only plugins externally? [21:13] Carbonflux, favoritefood0 i am also using compiz! [21:13] DaveEngland: i think you might need a driver for it [21:14] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg * [21:14] is there a way i can pin it to say dont remove it [21:14] DaveEngland: what card do you have? [21:14] favoritefood0, no, i only need to put it in the AGP slot! [21:14] DanceAddict: if your screen resolution is high (>120x780 for example), you could try to change it to 1024x780. To to that, use "xrandr" command. [21:14] Flannel: footprint too big, i use xdm, i just want the startx command to run - no login prompt [21:14] That was my second idea, DaveEngland; do you have the drivers? [21:14] when i move a window to the next desktop, it still uses number one, but it's like there's 4 different desktop #1's [21:14] favoritefood0, no :S [21:14] Can someone help me get some firewall settings correct? I'm trying to set up a home server using mp3act, but I want to set up some firewall rules before I do so users outside my network will not be able to access my files. [21:14] gnychis, add that then right click it - you can change the appearance to suit [21:14] [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling [21:14] DaveEngland; Install the Nvidia Drivers [21:14] how to install java? [21:14] favoritefood0, can i find them in sinaptyc? [21:14] gnychis, with the properties [21:14] anyone knows? [21:14] DaveEngland: what card do you have? [21:15] DaveEngland, Go to System -> Administrator -> Restricted Drivers Manager [21:15] yes, i have enabled those drivers! [21:15] I'll check and see which one they are in Synaptic [21:15] DaveEngland, the gui for setting resolution is bugged in with nVidia in Ubuntu 7.10, its something in the driver that is not detecting the monitors correctly [21:15] ajbrun: dunno, that's strange [21:15] i have a pachkage *.bin [21:15] ah k - i'll have a play about then [21:15] Carbonflux, so what can i do? [21:15] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:15] can anyone tell me how to get a file off of a remote network? i know you put it in with scp? [21:15] ere4si: whenever i right click and hit properties it takes me to an interface's properties, not to the properties of the panel item [21:15] don't know how to install it [21:15] thanks [21:15] !java | elonole === OSUKid7` is now known as osukid7 [21:15] elonole: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [21:15] Carbonflux, Do you know how I can give myself permission to mount and unmount hard drives? [21:16] actually - it is a compiz thing - i just set everything back to default [21:16] Carbonflux, i get this -> Package `xserver-xor' is not installed and no info is availabl [21:16] komputes: Then put xdm in your init.d [21:16] Carbonflux, I just re-installed for the first time in a few months, and I don't have auto-permission to mount all my hard drives [21:16] joanki: what is the remote machine [21:16] [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling [21:16] DaveEngland, that command will work or use: sudo nividia-settings [21:16] gnychis, sorry - that's the limit of my knowledge on that - I don't use :) [21:16] i can't change my system volume control someone help... [21:16] i'm using eniac? [21:16] ere4si: no problem, thank you [21:16] k [21:16] i'm trying to get a copy of my file to my local machine [21:16] almostdvs; Do you have an integrated sound card? [21:16] how do i use scp to do that? [21:16] Flannel: then once in x, how do I auto startup apps? [21:17] joanki: have you used ftp before? [21:17] favoritefood0 [21:17] yes [21:17] solexious1, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:17] DaveEngland: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <---- try the whole command [21:17] obfusco, no [21:17] anyone know what vino-session process is? [21:17] almostdvs, What kind? [21:17] obfusco: have done that but it is not recognised as screen2 [21:17] obfusco: :o( [21:17] joanki; log in to your box via ssh then scp file username@host:~/ and the file will be saved in your home directory .. that is if both machines are running *nix [21:17] joanki: what kind of access to you have to the other computer? ssh? [21:18] obfusco, to get the file on there i used scp [nameoffile] my login address [21:18] why do i have over 100 processes when i type "ps -e"? [21:18] ssh [21:18] hey [21:18] can you install kubuntu through ubuntu live cd? [21:18] favoritefood0 iono i have a presario c304nr laptop my system sound used to work i believe. [21:18] peepsalot: I think it's something like remote desktop.. not sure though [21:18] peepsalot: not sure at all, but "vino" reminds me a VNC-like remote control [21:18] DanceAddict: this on a laptop? [21:18] obfusco, i want the file OFF of the remote server (bastid_raZor) [21:18] my windows partition only has like 26 processes [21:18] Carbonflux; Could ya spare some time to tell me how to enable my profile to have read/write and mount/unmount privilages? [21:18] obfusco: yep its on an ibm thinkpad [21:18] favoritefood0, I am not sure what you mean, you can put them in /etc/fstab if thats what you mean but you should be able to use the sudo mount command [21:18] how do you get to the compiz-fusion settings in gnome? [21:19] so obfusco i would type scp [filename] ??????????? [21:19] thannoy, Slart, is that something that comes enabled by default? I don't remember installing something like that [21:19] joanki: easiest would probably be filezilla [21:19] peepsalot: yes.. I think it's installed by default [21:19] anyway to install kubuntu through ubuntu live cd === roald is now known as qzyR` [21:19] Carbonflux; on my XFS partitions, I don't have read and write, and I can't mount and unmount, or change who has access to files or anything [21:19] Slart, how do you connect to it? with a regular vnc client? [21:19] Is .msi a linux file extension? [21:19] I have a new monitor that and i dont think X detected it how can i recenfigure X to pick up my new monitor [21:19] DanceAddict: are you using a vga cable (it's got 15 pins) or some other kind of cable [21:19] bastid_raZor, how do i get it OFF of there? other direction [21:19] peepsalot: I have no idea... I've never used it [21:19] komputes: However you autostart apps in X already [21:19] favoritefood0, take a look at: man sudoers [21:19] a1fa_; no, you'll need the kubuntu cd or install kubuntu afterwards [21:19] Shinjin: no [21:19] what is the name of my host? [21:19] whats the package name? [21:20] joanki; can you ssh into the remote server? [21:20] Carbonflux, Website or linky? [21:20] yes bastic [21:20] bastid [21:20] obfusco: yep its gots 15pins 3x5 [21:20] favoritefood0, just type it in a command shell on your box [21:20] genii: So the program that I downloaded is made for windows? [21:20] i can get a file ON, but i dunno how to get it off [21:20] Carbonflux, just "man sudo"? [21:20] favoritefood0 more clearly it works.. it thinks it is changed when i press the volume up+- mute buttons or do it through the gui but nothing changes actually [21:20] [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling [21:20] alfa_: you can install ubuntu then install kubuntu desktop - that will work like a kde install [21:20] Shinjin: it is a windows insaller package, you may be able to use it with msiexec <- a wine program [21:20] almostdvs; rightclick on your sound adjuster [21:20] favoritefood0, if its really just a permission thing you can set up the sudoers file to give yourself permissions to do various things. [21:21] joanki; then log in via ssh .. get to the directory the file is in.. scp filename yourusername@yourhost:~/ and the file will be saved in your /home [21:21] Flannel: i have no clue, I want to set them in a text interface though (without the need to download more utilities) [21:21] ere4si : whats the package name ? kubuntu [21:21] and there should be a little pop up window and scroll down to "Speaker 1" [21:21] DanceAddict: that should show up... try reeboting with it attached [21:21] whats the X startup script? [21:21] bastic_raZor, but... how do i find the "yourhost" portion of that? [21:21] alfa_: kubuntu-desktop [21:21] Shinjin: Microsoft Software Installer.. [21:21] cool [21:21] thanks [21:21] joanki; your ip address will do [21:21] Well, I want somethign made for linux. Does anyone know a remote access program that runs fast, is cross platform, and Is made for linux? [21:21] cooool [21:21] obfusco: OK Ill try that... thanks :o) [21:22] Shinjin: Yes. msi file extension is Microsoft Software Installer file [21:22] That I can access from a website or something easy so I don't have to download anything on the other computer. [21:22] Carbonflux; So, to give myself RW/Mount and Unmount privilages, then how exactly would I set it up? Also, how would I have this start every time? Does it automatically start on my computer when it boots? [21:22] Shinjin: remote desktop access? [21:22] Hi, considering downloading ubuntu, and trying it - is it a liveCD as well, in the standard CD package, or is there a seperate live distro? [21:22] alfa_: all kubuntu apps are in ubuntu's synaptic package manager [21:22] obfusco: Yeah [21:23] favoritefood0, when you modify the sudoers file you don't have to do it again [21:23] [Q]How do i change a ubuntu server into being like ubuntu desktop with out reinstalling [21:23] K`Tetch: the main cd is a livecd [21:23] obfusco: So I can get on my coputer from any other computer. [21:23] solexious1; you've been told already.. apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:23] bastid_raZor, umm... doesn't seem to be working.... [21:23] Shinjin: are both linux or not? [21:23] Carbonflux; So when I modify it once, every time I go to mount/umount or anything I looks at my said permissions? [21:23] solexious1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [21:23] scp [fileName] username@ipaddy: [21:23] does that look right? [21:23] ok, thanks obfusco - also, does the desktop version have server-hardware support? i've got an older dell server i want to use as a backup desktop [21:23] bastid: Sorry, didnot spot it [21:23] i would file that stuff in btw [21:23] is there a quick way to count the number of lines in a simple text file? [21:23] obfusco: No, I want it for school where I use both windows and mac. [21:23] joanki; is port 22 or 23 blocked on your end? possibly your ip is blocking 23.. mine does [21:23] komputes: That'll depend on whatever WM you're using. [21:24] is there another way, bastic? [21:24] how can i test to see if my firewire card is detected (i cannot capture from camera and want to debug) [21:24] bastid_raZor, [21:24] ? [21:24] favoritefood0, if that is the problem, I am not sure what you problem is tho, it seems like by default you should have those permissions, these drives were setup with a different user account or something ? the other thing you could do is recursivily take ownership of them [21:24] another @host i can type? [21:24] K`Tetch: the geneic kernel should support almost all of the HW (and more) that the server kernel supports. If you don't have exotic server hardware, you should be fine. [21:24] joanki; if you change that then you're not sending it to you [21:24] dell poweredge 1650 - not that exotic [21:24] Hmm, I have a wee question, am I right to assume that the 8800 GTS has the same problems as the 8800 GT? [21:24] i don't know why it isn't working [21:24] joanki; what error is it giving you? [21:25] Shinjin: vnc has the best cross-platform support, are you only trying to control linux? [21:25] nothing [21:25] it just waits [21:25] and waits [21:25] and waits [21:25] Flannel: none [21:25] anyone can tell me how i can pin a package that i compiled from src (into a deb) so it does not get removed ? [21:25] Carbonflux; The problem is I installed it, I had to do it manually (Weird partitions, overwriting and replacing old ones etc.), and I didn't select anything on the import manager, and so I made my main account, and I didn't have my permissions [21:25] obfusco: Yeah, so where can I get that? [21:25] is it wwaiting for something, bastid_raZor ? [21:25] joanki; what are you typing? are you sure the ip is correct? it basically should be near instant connecting and starting to send [21:25] how do you get to the compiz-fusion settings in gnome? [21:26] is it natural that over 100 processes are running in the background? [21:26] i looked up my ip on whatismyip.com, bastid_raZor [21:26] !ccsm | gnychis [21:26] gnychis: 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 [21:26] favoritefood0, so you can't mount them using sudo mount /dev/drive ? [21:26] how many do you see with the command "ps -e"? [21:26] how do i get x to detect a new monitor? [21:26] joanki; do you have a router on your home network? [21:26] yes [21:26] Slart: thanks! [21:26] Bo^Dick, I have 85 [21:26] is there a command i can type to get my ip on my computer, bastid_raZor ? [21:26] Bo^Dick: I have about 150 [21:27] Shinjin: vnc is installed in ubuntu be default, howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [21:27] joanki; ifconfig will tell you the ip your router gave it [21:27] to me it appears as a waste of performance [21:27] komputes: You're using straight X? Then you'll need to start programs however X does. I'm not familiar with graphical programs in general though. [21:27] obfusco: I'm not actually on Ubuntu. I usually come here cause the Xubuntu channel is always dead. [21:27] Bo^Dick: been using linux for long? [21:27] Carbonflux; I can mount/unmount with sudo u/mount /media/drive but I can't change permissions (I just don't know how via command line), and I kinda want to be able to just right click and do it [21:27] Bo^Dick, most are sleeping [21:27] Slart: not very [21:27] Carbonflux; I also can't change the name or mount point of my drives [21:27] is there a way to edit my resolution so it doesnt scroll around the desktop? [21:28] favoritefood0 sry urgent distraction [21:28] obfusco: Will it still work> [21:28] Shinjin: xubuntu should also have vnc installed, the wiki page info should still be valid [21:28] Flannel: ok, i'll figure it out... when you said to add xdm (or the startx command) to init.d, /etc/init.d is a directory, any file in particular I should edit? [21:28] almostdvs; Yes, what? [21:28] bastid_raZor, which one is it? [21:28] favoritefood0, sudo chown -R /mnt/mountpoint [21:28] aghachi; you need to do sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg to have it reconfigure for your monitor [21:28] obfuscu: thanks I'll look at it. [21:28] inet addr? [21:28] ere4si: is it faster to wake up a sleeping process rather than add the process instead? [21:28] favoritefood0 i had one. u were helping me with sound problems [21:28] favoritefood0, sudo chown -R /mnt/mountpoint/* might have to add the * [21:29] joanki; eth0 is probably it unless you have wireless [21:29] i could mention that it takes longer to boot ubuntu than windows xp for example [21:29] Carbonflux; does that give me permission to do everything through the neat GUI? [21:29] favoritefood0, do a: man chown [21:29] Shinjin: just do the part under 'xfce', that is the window manager for xubuntu [21:29] bastid_raZor, i have wireless [21:29] Bo^Dick, I think so [21:29] komputes: you'll be creating your own.

[21:30] gksu nautilus --no-desktop --browser %U [21:30] joanki; what other options do you have? i'm not 100% on what the wireless would be called [21:30] Carbonflux; That will let me do the neat GUI options?

The wifi button doesn't work [21:35] indyfunfreak: my sound doesn't work any longer due to ALSA update [21:35] joanki; okay then.. look up the info for port forwards for your router. [21:35] almostdvs; right click on volume control, click on preferences.

[21:36] atonalpanic: a failure after update sounds hauntingly familiar [21:36] Carbonflux; I typed in "sudo chown -R cody (my user name) /mnt/mountpoint/* and it said "chown: cannot access /mnt/mountpoint/: no such file or directory [21:36] atonalpanic: i had a lot of problems myself [21:37] Can anyone hear my musik? [21:37] almostdvs; just click through those and adjust the volume until you have it [21:37] favoritefood0, you need to replace /mnt/mountpoint with your mount point [21:37] pipcoke: why?? [21:37] just asking [21:37] favoritefood0, the location you used when mounting the drive [21:37] Carbonflux; Oooh, sorry, my bad! [21:37] pipcoke, nope [21:37] IndyGunFreak: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [21:37] pipcoke: no [21:37] pandora.com [21:37] atonalpanic: soundblaster and nvidia are known to be open source unfriendly, and i can say i had problems making my graphics card and soundcard to work decently [21:37] gnychis: Make sure that roaming mode is selected. Go to >system >admin >network, click properties on your wireless, and confirm its roaming. [21:37] favoritefood0, sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser %U might work from the command line [21:38] favoritefood0 clicking them doesnt do anything [21:38] bo^dick: its funny how a sound problem broke the os. [21:38] Carbonflux; do I put anything in for %u? [21:38] no [21:38] Can anyone help me with an FTP server question? [21:38] you can remove it in fact [21:38] atonalpanic: what model is your pc/laptop? [21:38] favoritefood0, sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser should work [21:38] Ubuntu 7.10 X wont detect new monitor. Help [21:38] atonalpanic: to make hardware work in linux is one of the hardest thing to me [21:38] ArthurArchnix: roaming is enabled, but whenever i add "network monitor" to my panel it only shows me ath0 stats and not the list of wireless networks [21:39] hello, i am trying to figure out why i get this message when trying to up eth0:1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address [21:39] pretender_, monitor detection through the GUI is bugged right now [21:39] I have an ftp server set up, I just need to know how I can direct everyone to the same folder to share files? [21:39] IndyGunFreak: Toshiba Satellite A205 - S5823 [21:39] so you see the nm-applet, it's just not showing you the info you want? Perhaps it's considering your wired connection default. Is it plugged in right now? [21:39] gnychis: [21:39] atonalpanic: maybe you should go to the soundcards homepage and read up on linux compability and drivers [21:39] bo^dick: im starting to see that. Everything else is great I love it...well except for my wireless artheros but thats for another day [21:40] 'evening all [21:40] pretender_, you need to either edit your xorg.conf file by hand, use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or use sudo nvidia-settings [21:40] atonalpanic: have you tried recompiling alsa? [21:40] how can i get X to detect a new wide screen monitor that i have just connected [21:40] ubuntu 7.04 works perfectly [21:40] this monitor detect issue is a well know bug, is there a factoid for it ? [21:40] thanks [21:40] atonalpanic: good news is, i downloaded Hardy yesterday, and this Intel HDA mess is fixed in it. [21:40] ArthurArchnix: no wired connection plugged in, it shows me ath0 stats which is my wireless, but it used to show a little signal bar that i could click on and select a wireless network [21:40] Carbonflux, It said something like "%u doesn't exist" and opened up a root folder with "desktop" in it, my terminal said "initializing gnome-mount extension" "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [21:40] indygunfreak right now i have my second monitor disabled... and my 1st screnn is normal and i can enable effects, but when i throw in the 2nd monitor is when it does that scrolly stuff. so is there a way for me to edit stuff or no becuase the driver is restricted. [21:40] IndyGunFreak: I'll that but I know its at least somewhat compatible, it work before [21:40] <_Oz_> should it take me 15 minutes to copy a 2.5gb file from one computer to another on a wired 100mbit network? [21:40] gnychis: Ok. Well, if you right click on it are both networking and wireless checked? [21:41] IndyGunFreak: oops sorry, that was meant for bo^dick [21:41] _Oz_: definitely [21:41] Carbonflux, I also still can't mount/unmount from the GUI [21:41] aghachi: how are you disabling the other monitor? [21:41] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: so that's not too long? my network's not "slow"? [21:41] atonalpanic: what soundcard do you have? [21:41] ArthurArchnix: i don't get those options when i right click, i get "Properties, Help, About ... etc" [21:41] Go Pakistan [21:41] favoritefood0, I think if you understood the issues a bit better you could. :) [21:41] * _Oz_ is frustrated by the low speed of networks in general [21:42] _Oz_: it is a bit slow but not out of the normal [21:42] in the screen and graphics menu [21:42] Carbonflux; No doubt [21:42] favoritefood0, did the chown command do anything ? [21:42] aghachi: are yo on a live CD now, or still using 64bit? [21:42] cod? [21:42] Carbonflux; I don't remember, but i'll try again [21:42] can anyone help me with vsftpd? [21:42] bo^dick: intel HD audio controller [21:42] _Oz_: whats the infrastructure of your network? [21:42] o im still on 64bit... :/ [21:42] gnychis: I think I understand what's going on. I think you have the wrong network applet in there. Gnome has one too, called network something, so it's confusing. [21:42] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: is there a new higher-speed protocol in the works? if I wanted a "fast" network, how would I get one? [21:42] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: a few PCs... netgear router... cable modem [21:42] gnychis: Remove it. Then make sure you have a notification area. [21:43] aghachi: well, you can try installing nvidia-settings (sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings), then run it and set up your screens that way,t hst how i always do it [21:43] _Oz_: clearly the netgear router its not built for that [21:43] favoritefood0, the problem seems to be that you set up the drives with a old user account and when you reinstalled you are now using a different account so all the permissions are different [21:43] hi all [21:43] ArthurArchnix: perfect! thank you! [21:43] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: how's that? [21:43] gnychis: No worries. [21:43] aghachi: cuz again, compiz works fine for me. [21:43] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: it's a wireless + wired network router [21:43] Carbonflux, so is there like a file I can just pull up to modify my permissions? Or no luck there? :P [21:43] _Oz_: if you want to speed up you net a switch and of course gigabit lan dies a great job... [21:43] does anybody installed Sun ONE ASP ? [21:43] atonalpanic: onboard audio that is [21:43] yea [21:43] <_Oz_> the router is slowing me down? [21:43] _Oz_: router!=switch [21:44] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: what does the switch do for me? [21:44] What is Linus Pauling [21:44] favoritefood0, its linux, each file has its own permissions [21:44] atonalpanic: what bitdepth and samplerate capabilities? [21:44] _Oz_: well its an educated, yes [21:44] gnychis: It's easy to mess up the gnome panel. My girlfriend does all the time. That's why when I get it setup the way I like it, I lock it down. So that only I can change it. [21:44] favoritefood0, what is the name of the mount point for the drive ? [21:44] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: what's the difference between a router and a switch? [21:44] could someone help me set up tftpd-hpa for pxe [21:44] bo^dick: I would love to tell, but how do i find out? [21:44] _Oz_, I copy a 700mb file from my server to a usb stick connected to my main pc in 1min20sec with 10/100 [21:44] _Oz_: basically a switch is used to connect a network internally === nemo_ is now known as Rizzen [21:45] Carbonflux; One of my partitions mounts to /media/sda1 another partition on that disk mounts to /media/sda2 Do I want to do this at Disk or Volume level? [21:45] atonalpanic: have you read this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [21:45] _Oz_: as a difference to a router that is used to route to the outworld as the name mimplies [21:45] <_Oz_> ere4si: that seems faster than me [21:45] my neice is 14 she has been on computer since she was 3 she can screw up my computer anyway she likes [21:45] _Oz_, that's through a netgear router [21:45] uhuh.. [21:45] <_Oz_> fx|RabBit: so what would I buy and how would I deploy it in my home network? I have 4 desktops PCs and 2 laptops (wireless) [21:46] Carbonflux; Also, chown didn't do a thing [21:46] well in that case you need at least a 7 port switch [21:46] favoritefood0, ok so you would do: sudo chown -R /media/sda1/* [21:46] _Oz_, is it wireless you're doing that with? [21:46] linuxgoober: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install IS FAIRLY COMPREHENSIVE [21:46] chmod [21:46] <_Oz_> ere4si: no [21:46] bah, capslock [21:46] k [21:46] _Oz_: best switchhub if cou can afford:) [21:46] Carbonflux, do I need to do the <> or just put in "cody" for my username? [21:47] favoritefood0, say your username is food, it would be: sudo chown -R food /media/sda1/* [21:47] I have an external hardrive, but it wont mount, i tried using the command that is in the error window but it just gave me the help stuff... can anyone help? [21:47] indygunfreak; i think i found my problem... maybe my primary monitor doesn't support 60hz for refresh rate because when i disable the 2nd monitor, the refresh rate goes to 50hz.. nothing else can be selected, but when i bring in my 2nd monitor it goes to 60hz with nothing being able to be selected, do i have to run both monitors at same refresh rates? this is why i think it zooms in... [21:47] is there a package out there I can use to manage my business? [21:48] bo^dick: I never had any of those problems listed for toshiba. [21:48] aghachi: now hat i don't know.. not sure on that... i would imagine yes. === fredrik is now known as branstrom [21:48] indygunfreak: is there a file i can edit to test 2 different refresh rates? [21:48] Carbonflux; When I run in terminal, it just drops down to a new line, but doesn't put in my user or anything so I can run a new command, then a few seconds later my name pops back up (in this case cody@cody) and nothing happens [21:49] could someone help me set up tftpd-hpa for pxe [21:49] something happened [21:49] aghachi: probably xorg.conf, but i'm not sure how you'd go about that... did you try installing nvidia-settings? [21:49] bo^dick: like i said, it worked before perfectly. I tried to update ALSA because sound was comming out of both the headphones and the speakers...then my OS crashed. I reinstalled and here I am with no sound lol [21:49] Carbonflux; Nothing shows up in the terminal... [21:49] Carbonflux; Do I want to do it to the DRIVE? [21:49] Carbonflux; or the partition on that drive? [21:49] bo^dick: I've done a few things to try to get it back to the original configuration but everything I read doesn't work for me [21:49] eegore: manage your business? supply chain software? stock management software? bonds and other finance software? programming software? [21:50] indygunfreak: nvidia settings no... how do i do that i have the drivers slected from the settings tho but not a settings seprate for nvidia [21:50] favoritefood0, I can't see what you are doing really, these are basic unix/linux commands tho [21:50] aghachi: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [21:50] atonalpanic: just installs everything from scratch then [21:50] Specificaly the error im getting is "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" [21:50] Slart: basic repair and sales software [21:50] Carbonflux; That is for my NTFS file systems (which, thanks to NTFSG, I have R/W privilages), but when I try it on my partitions, it says "chown: cannot access '/media/sdb2/*': No such file or directory" [21:50] Carbonflux; So should I run this command on my drive instead of partition? [21:51] 0o0o cool [21:51] not on a NTFS drive no [21:51] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty? [21:51] favoritefood0: are these file systems mounted? [21:51] ~paste [21:51] bo^dick: the only problem with that is I will need to get my speakers/headphone fix [21:51] some real action in the termnal [21:51] eegore: not that I know of... but much in that category runs off a webserver anyway.. so it shouldn't be dependant on what os you run [21:51] NTFS drives don't have permissions iirc [21:51] prince_jammys; Yes. I'm guessing this ruins the CHOWN command? [21:51] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? [21:51] bo^dick: which will cause my to try to update it again...big vicious cylce lol [21:51] !paste | mortal1 [21:51] indygunfreak: [21:51] mortal1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:51] favoritefood0: you can edit your fstab file to change the permissions [21:51] indygunfreak: where do i acess the settings now [21:51] aghachi: open a terminal, gksudo nvidia-settings [21:51] atonalpanic: oh [21:51] Carbonflux; Whenever I try to unmount my NTFS drives via GUI, it says "Only root has permission to unmount [21:52] favoritefood0: type this and paste output here:: grep ntfs /etc/fstab [21:52] Slart: so i need a sql db and a server to acces it? [21:52] Carbonflux they do have permissions just not linux permissions [21:52] atonalpanic: so it wants to update in order to get all features working correctly [21:52] indygunfreak: wher do u learn all these commmands lol... where can i learn? [21:52] atonalpanic: with the consequense that it stalls [21:52] favoritefood0 try putting sudo before the command ie sudo mount args [21:52] prince_jammys; Would I substitute xfs for NTFS? [21:52] favoritefood0, with gui you are using normal user permissions, try sudo umount /media/dir [21:52] aghachi: sitting in here and watching smart people solve problems [21:52] atonalpanic: sounds really inconvenient [21:52] lol [21:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57878/ <-- my cd burner failed to write a ubuntu iso... someone help? [21:52] eegore: it depends on what kind of software you want to run.. but yes.. most use some kind of database backend.. mysql might work [21:52] favoritefood0: type it literally [21:52] !apparmor [21:52] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [21:53] aghachi: but that one, i learned when i followed a wiki somewhere for setting up dual screens [21:53] Hello, I have problem when I'm symlinking to another directory in another user dirs, when the user enters the dir and then goes out, he gets to the parent directory of the "original" user, no to his where he should be - how I can solve that problem? [21:53] What is the best method to enable a computer to remotely run a desktop on another machine....like a terminal/mainframe setup? [21:53] bo^dick: Well basically the options are: I reinstall...and sound blares out of both headphones and speakers. or I don't and have no sound. [21:53] I never worked with a database in my life before, I am a little confused as to where to start [21:53] prince_jammys; it said " [21:53] Hi there, does anyone know how to connect a Epsom projector to a Linux 7.10 IBM laptop computer??? [21:54] "This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config" then it lists the mount point and UUID of my NTFS partitions [21:54] favoritefood0, I think you might need to study a bit more about the linux command line and mounting, permissions and sudo and stuff, there are ways you can fix that, you can modify the sudoers file to give yourself permissions to mount and unmount via the gui or you can prefex the gui command with gksu on the launcher properties [21:54] I wouldn't think it would be that hard to fix a broken driver or what ever is wrong. probably one line someone was erase and I just need to type it back. I just don't know where [21:54] eegore: unless you want to write your software yourself you won't have to.. [21:54] depinko, how are you making the sym links, because that shouldnt happen [21:54] how do i draw an ellipse in gimp? [21:54] favoritefood0: paste the relevant lines here for your ntfs partition [21:54] indygunfreak: cool! ok so how do i reset x server? [21:54] aghachi: did you apply the changes? [21:54] I just tried to burn a cd in ubuntu, but it failed. I dunno why... [21:54] such a simple thing. why must it be difficult [21:54] Squawk: ln -s /dir linkdir [21:55] ouput http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57878/ [21:55] and save them? [21:55] googled but I didn't see any solutions [21:55] indygunfreak: it says i need to restart xserver yea i did save [21:55] anyone know how to draw a simple ellipse in gimp? [21:55] is it legit to repartition a system, basically I just want to make /home a lot smaller than it is (it is 99.99999% empty) this is a brand new install. can i just repartition it and go?

[21:55] depinko, not copying links propelry? [21:55] favoritefood0: ok now type literally and paste here:: echo $UID [21:56] i can get it to select an elliptical area, but i just want to draw one [21:56] aghachi: control alt backpace will restart x, but save anything you're working on [21:56] indygunfreak: should i log out and log back in? [21:56] Squawk: how you think - not copying properly? [21:56] see above [21:56] Hi there, does anyone know how to connect a Epsom projector to a Linux 7.10 IBM laptop computer??? [21:56] Once you select the elipse, you can draw from path, tanath [21:56] echo $UID [21:56] ArthurArchnix, how's that work? [21:56] Synaptic package manager is no longer on System-Administration at 7.04 -- how do you start it?

[21:58] favoritefood0, $UID is your personal user id, ie the user id of the user issuing the "echo" command, it has no relevance to directories [21:58] tanath: but I would say Gimp is more suited for photo editing.. there are other tools available for drawing stuff.. inkscape and krita comes to mind [21:58] aghachi: any joy? [21:58] best im for ubuntu? tell me because i can get mercury to work [21:58] favoritefood0: it should open a window with the fstab file that we're about to edit. what are the permissions you want to set?

To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative.

[22:37] !ask | KyleSloderbeck [22:37] levander: you can't do that ndiswrapper is for wireless stuff [22:37] KyleSloderbeck: 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. :-) [22:38] Slart: Well, that's probably true [22:38] * bluewraith is feeling sorry for an overworked bot tonight [22:38] LjL-Temp, i know... i got the (In the future, please use a private message to investigate) [22:38] cambazz: I don't use it myself.. and I almost never listen to streaming music .. those were just general tips for trying to find out what might be wrong [22:38] sudo dpkg --configure -a is supposed to work for my error in the synaptic package manager.

[22:42] You mean what is [22:42] Guys believe this or not, but ubuntu w/lan card drivers gives me a longer range than window xp's, also xp d/c alot and linux never did sicne instalaltion, same location, exact same location. [22:42] i installed frostwire and its on applications>>internet but when i click it it dont open. whys that? [22:43] Is this possible or am I crazy [22:43] CorruptTerrorist: you can't i don't think, It's your Power Supply [22:43] Beric: Nevermind. You just need to add the right option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-conf in all liklihood. For me it was options snd-hda-intel model=laptop but that could seriously mess up your sound. You need to find the right line, like that, but for your audio card. Mine is, as you can see, an intel card.

You will have to log out to tkae effect [22:45] nickrud thank you [22:45] pak: you need to log out completely for it to take effect [22:45] CorruptTerrorist: You could try looking around "acpi", google it up. But As it was said before, it is not perfectly supported [22:45] hi - i have a question, is it safe to run higher resolution then your monitor support, like, my monitor says it support 1024 x 768 16,7 mil colors, 24 bit intern support... i'm on laptop and i think thats quite small, is it safe to increase the resolution you run? [22:45] how do you get common icons on the desktop? like drives, trash, home directory... etc [22:45] pak, click on groups, scroll down to virtualbox, click properties, make sure that it's ticked next to yourname [22:45] thannoy, i don't think it acpi [22:45] Beric: I've found people that say that line works for your card too. So, you can try it. Restart, see if it works. If it doesn'twork after restart, go back in that file and remove that line, restart, back to square one. [22:45] pignu: no, you don't want to overdrive your monitor [22:45] is it possible to make the desktop look like a giant cube and make it move around? [22:45] jk_, it's called compiz-fusion [22:45] ok :( [22:46] pignu: you can, it just acts weird. your screen becomes like a little scrolly window, like the screen magnifier [22:46] !compiz > jk_ [22:46] pignu: youll likely just get an 'out of range' error [22:46] it wasn't ticked!

[22:47] pak, logout [22:47] pak, otherwise it won't recognize the new settings [22:47] pak: you could try using wine, it will deffinitly give you better run time [22:47] has anyone else had problems using compiz fusion.

I have a problem with playing videos sometimes [22:49] ere4si: executing it should make warsow run. === eagle is now known as eagle-101 [22:49] I noticed that running XP in vbox uses less memory resources than running ie6 under wine. I am really impressed with vbox! [22:50] occasionally, my videos stop working and only show a green screen. The audio still works. I've tried different applications, but I have the same problems [22:50] pak: if your using 7.10 then wine from the add remove appshould work flawlessly [22:50] i suspect gstreamer is the culprit [22:50] ere4si: A game i played when i had windows but then i found out the zip has linux files too [22:50] gnychis: to to the terminal and type gconf-editor. In there, you can tell it to display home/Computer/etc. on the Desktop [22:50] Photocopy, if it wants to interact with the system and you own it that won't work - see if you can find out if it should be somewhere other than your /home folder [22:50] Daisuke_Ido: the crash is from a complaint about incompatible version numbers [22:50] guys i need help if u can help me [22:50] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ :) [22:50] pignu, it depends on your monitor.

[22:52] jk_ use tor (firefox addon) [22:52] to run windows xp [22:52] jk_: *sob*... just don't worry about it.. please.. trust me.. you .. do.. not.. have .. to ... worry.. about.. it [22:52] jk_, you cant make your ip invisible, otherwise how would they know hwere to send the data to [22:52] pak: depends [22:52] jk_, Your IP is like your home address. Without it, you'd never get bills, or pizza, or visits from distant relatives. [22:52] Photocopy, there you go - try the good folks at #winehq - I don't do wine [22:52] ere4si: They just include teh stuff, they dont have guides on running it in linux.. besides i figure it would have been the same as running a bat in winblows [22:52] bluewraith: yeah really [22:52] Viper111: if you're still running 5.04, you may as well install 7.10 fresh [22:53] bluewraith: hehe [22:53] Flare - what is the benefit of either or? [22:53] ere4si: Im not running warsow in wine [22:53] I use the show desktop function a lot and everytime i use it, the screenlets minimize too. theres a way to keep them always in the desktop? [22:53] oh i thought they could hack me with knowing my ip [22:53] Anyone have any ideas to get my mouse working? [22:53] jpatrick, you mean my submission? I just figured it fitted better than the "ask" output for a lot of situations [22:53] i'm new at this but i do need windows so which is the best way to go? [22:53] ere4si: so wine has nothing to do with this at all [22:53] k [22:53] pak, wine is not a virtual machine like virtual box is. Vbox can run basically every app, where wine cannot. Wine can run games, where vbox is not that good. It depends on the apps you're trying to run. So enlighten us, what apps do you want to run? [22:53] because the upgrade process is going to be fraught with peril [22:53] jk_: depends.. [22:53] Daisuke_Ido: Do you imagine a reinstall of nvidia might be in order? [22:53] Flare183, Only one of those are welcome most of the time, though. :) [22:53] jk_, every website you ever visit knows your ip (unless you connect through a proxy) [22:53] ere4si: It has linux crap in there. [22:53] bluewraith: your port 80 is open [22:53] pak: ok if you are like playing games then wine, but for like big things that is different [22:53] hischild - i would like to run office xp, vpn connection, basic office stuff [22:53] using windows :) [22:53] pak: like for example autodesk inventor [22:53] Woa.. this is a huge room!!!!! [22:54] thannoy, thanks. were you able to connect to the apache server then? [22:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ has my problem on it.!!. [22:54] the guy who was helping me install java [22:54] bluewraith: ops, error, skip my previoous msg [22:54] GirlConfused: yeap [22:54] thannoy, blarg [22:54] :) [22:54] jacobian__: possibly, but i don't know enough about the situation to know for sure [22:54] pak, why do you want m$ office when you got open office? and there are vpn solutions for linux ... but yeah, for that you need vbox ... [22:54] xt hard drive (usb) 80 gib and it wont let me mount anyone kno why [22:54] now its saying package configuration what do i d? [22:54] lol GirlConfused it is a HUGE room and FRIENDLY people [22:54] jk_ what version are you using of ubuntu? [22:54] just installed Ubuntu... [22:54] P:) [22:54] i seem to have a theme problem [22:54] GirlConfused: and a huge community [22:54] im using 7.10 [22:54] that's rather rare.. [22:54] :) [22:54] GirlConfused, who are helpfull ;-) [22:54] Have you been to a website with flash? [22:54] friendly is rare.. [22:54] i changed to a dark theme and back, and now certain text is invisible (due to being white) [22:54] hischild - I'm just more comfortable using office, i'm trying open office but it's still lacking things I'm used to in office. [22:54] i have [22:54] very much so [22:54] i can't seem to change the colour [22:55] GirlConfused: yeah well welcome to the world of Ubuntu [22:55] So..girlconfused, welcome to ubuntu, we are happy you decided to check us out :) [22:55] GirlConfused: Dont think thats entirely true, alot of people here have given me alot of ignorant crap. [22:55] hischild - gona restart, hopefully i can install windows afterwards ;0 [22:55] Photocopy, you own it but are getting permission probs and it looks like it wants to access the system - that won't work - someone else may know a workaround but I'm at the limit of my knowledge now - sorry [22:55] Jk : there is a way to stay invisible, ( your pc wont respond to pingings ) however these things are needed to compute. your computer also has a mac adress this does not change, however your network id (ip address) does change. it is assigned to you every time you connect to your router [22:55] Photocopy: well we don't try to do that [22:55] but when i go to youtube the page starts going black and video goes really slow [22:55] can anyone help me fix this? [22:55] i have an external hard drive (USB) 80 gig and it says it unable to mount anyone know why [22:55] !anyone | tanath [22:55] tanath: 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? [22:55] Photocopy: nevermind me.. I'm the black sheep of the community [22:55] Thank you! :) I am updating .. the beast.. [22:55] ere4si: That sucks cause now ill have to go over all this first stuff all over again [22:55] Flare183, learn to read :P [22:55] not you slart [22:55] pak, i understand. I've heard about office running in wine, but it would be more usefull to run it in vbox in that case. Alongside your requirement for vpn, i suggest vbox [22:55] tanath: not me [22:56] I wanted to edit, etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base , but it says I have no permission to save the edited file. How can I log in as root on Ubuntu? [22:56] Flare183, hm? [22:56] !sudo | Beric [22:56] Beric: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [22:56] lart slart [22:56] !root | Beric [22:56] Beric: 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 [22:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/ help would be gratly appreciated. [22:56] @lart Slart [22:56] Flare183, you're the one who directed the 'anyone' thing at me [22:56] I was trying to fix x server after it suddenly stopped workig, i have finally fixed a few of the things but can't get the mouse to work, any ideas? [22:56] yea yea.. sticks and stones ... etc [22:56] Thanks all! :) [22:56] tanath: oh yeah sorry wrong nick [22:57] Beric: no problem [22:57] Hopefully when the update is done you guys can help me get my Nvidia drivers up and happy [22:57] Flare183, you sure?

[22:57] !caps | jk_ [22:57] Beric: edit the file using "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" . That way the editor runs as root and can save the file [22:57] ere4si: Its in the repos, but its incredibly out of date version [22:57] does anyone kno why an external hardrive will not mount [22:57] windows is installing :0 [22:57] GirlConfused, i'm fairly sure we can do that ... [22:57] it was caps sorry [22:57] pak, told you :-) [22:57] can anyone help me fix this font colour issue? [22:57] Beric: note.. gksu for gui apps.. sudo for command line stuff [22:57] yay thanks Hischild [22:58] hischild - you're great dude [22:58] i will PM you in a while [22:58] My problems with synaptic package manager http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57888/plain/.

[23:06] jk_: Like, canonical or something [23:06] GirlConfused: that wont be very hard, it will be in system preferances [23:06] hischild - so when you install something how do you choose where to go? [23:06] Photocopy, do that to make it executable [23:06] why did he make it free? [23:06] tanath: Idk what a shell is.. Errors like permission denied [23:06] jk_, ubuntu has no proper owner, anyway ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only [23:07] pak, it goes on the virtual disk that you created for windows [23:07] tanath: I made it executable from the properties window [23:07] it'll automatically know?

[23:11] hey can someone help me. i put and external hardrive on and it said it cannot mount. [23:11] HangukMiguk, you can, in synaptic, select the package and go to Package -> force version, and chose the repo you want. [23:11] Hmm, any way to make the mouse protocol be auto detected? i am reading about somethin regarding editing xorg.conf to "Protocol" "auto" but the exact instructions are not given.

[23:16] jk_, there's an autologin feature [23:16] Is there a guide to beginners with Ubuntu installing XP using virtual machine, this way I can pretty much avoid all the questions please? [23:16] Viper111, the reason why there is no upgrade path for you is because 5.04 support ended in late 2006 and the version after that ended in 2007. so you can't upgrade easily. [23:16] Slart, I have a problem with my usplash not displaying and a forum post said to check your symlinks [23:16] jk_, System > Admin > Login window [23:16] Viper111: your system is outdated, you could add repositories for the newer versions [23:17] binaries-AP1, Viper111 won't help. no way to upgrade 5.04 [23:17] where i can get these repositories to put them [23:17] I struggling with Cisco VPN on my freshly installed Ubuntu - is it possible that Cisco VPN just doesn't work with the amd64 version or is it completely unrelated ?

[23:22] can someone tell me why on a live cd i can see my network with smbtree but n ot with the network menu? [23:22] Gibb: can you paste the line that starts with # defoptions [23:22] going to try disabling the floppy in bios [23:22] it says that installation was interupted and to manually run gpkh? [23:22] Slart, yeah defoptions=quiet splash [23:22] # defoptions=quiet splash [23:22] Gibb: ok.. just remove the "splash" part.. and voila.. no more splash [23:23] Is it possible to make a shortcut for XP using VirtualBox, instead of always having to go through virtual box and selecting it from there? [23:23] Slart, cool, so the line should be # defoptions=quiet? the # stays in front?

[23:30] CorruptTerrorist: try sudo htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup admin [23:30] mrunagi: the easest way for me to do this is to copy a files location ( right click > copy ) and type cd and paste the location in the terminal [23:30] binaries-AP1: thats my question..........how do you cd to a network folder [23:30] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[23:33] how do i do that? [23:33] jk_: sudo.. [23:33] oic it thx [23:34] So when GRUB runs, I cannot select which OS I want, because it's blank.

[23:35] twiztr: try editing /etc/usplash.conf to a res your monitor knows [23:35] binaries-AP1: what do you mean [23:35] mrunagi: since if you just want to share cumputer folders then its alot easyer to usy samba [23:35] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [23:35] iljaz@iljaz-desktop:~$ [23:35] what do i do now?

[23:38] i can't access any of my samba shares from my windows pc as my ubuntu box isn't even shown in my windows network folder...

[23:40] How do i set the default umask for sftp transfers? [23:40] mrunagi: well you should look to see that which ever windows system your running (gnome) or (kde) has such file sharing capabilitys. for myself samba does the trick [23:41] slart now it gave this blue screen saying configure sun-java [23:41] david_: first, your relayhost is localhost.

[23:48] hischild, nickrud: I'm not sure if starting nautilus as root is better.. at least you can avoid the typos [23:48] hischild: a good point for here. That's why I asked about the dir for one ;) [23:48] where is my php.ini file? [23:48] Lokian, just ask your question be specific. If someone knows the answer they will put your name in the line so it beeps or highlights on your end. [23:48] nickrud, good point. I'm not saying that it's incorrect :-) [23:48] hischild: better step away from the computer. there's electricity in it. [23:48] Slart: I always advocate against nautilus as root, it's too darn easy to move stuff around (been there, done that) [23:48] no on ubuntu itself, not running IE with vm [23:49] Can anyone help me out with an issue installing ubuntu on a mac? [23:49] Slart, true there. But even then you can accidentily move a file or 2 that should've stayed [23:49] CorruptTerrorist: use "sudo find / -name php.ini" [23:49] jeremy_ oh yes i can [23:49] comfiz config? [23:49] nickrud: this is my problem do u know what i have to do before i test erasing that file because im not 100% on erasing that folder :) [23:49] whats the command to install the effects and stuff [23:49] Slart: especially with a touchy touchpad [23:49] for cubes [23:49] nickrud: perhaps there should be a "delete as root" in the context menu in nautilus.. [23:49] pak: yes [23:49] nickrud: Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [23:49] pak: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:49] Ok, it's a slightly older one. The mac iBook a1005, its a g3, currently running os x 10.1.5 [23:50] DRX - how? [23:50] For some reason, I can get it to boot to the cd [23:50] nickrud, good morning [23:50] Jeremy_ :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [23:50] the only way to protect against idiot mistakes that could happen is don't be an idiot. not using common commands because they could delete something important is retarded imo [23:50] !ccsm > pak [23:50] Thanks [23:50] aghachi: cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf.backup-pre-nvidia-install , something like that is what I usually do [23:50] aghachi, sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [23:50] icesword: good evening ;) [23:51] pak: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [23:51] do i have to do that everytime the settings wants to save over? [23:51] pak: just know that (1) not all features work and (2) it's not as stable (shuts down randomly) [23:51] aghachi, you don't have to delete it at all.. [23:51] flowOver: mm.. accidents happen.. even to the best... running with scissors is never a good idea.. no matter how good you are at running =) [23:51] How do I set up my ubuntu server between my router and my network so that I can run moblock on it? [23:51] I have a server running Dapper LTS that I'd like to install a set of apache 2.2 packages that were backported from Fiesty. The architecture of the server is am64, but the packages are i386. would it be a Bad Idea to install them? [23:52] Jeremy_: osx wont let you do that by default, it really depends on the cpu your running, try and get refit and install it, it works wonders i tell you [23:52] scunizi it wont replace it when i save settings [23:52] what softeare is there to make a vid of your system ? [23:52] DrX, ies4linux is not a good idea... just ask #Winehq how they feel about using that [23:52] flowOver: and typing rm -rf / home/username/myolduselessfiles is an easy mistake to do [23:52] pak: in general, running Windows programs on Linux tends to be overblown by those advocating such practice (and the newer the versions of the Windows software the less well this tends to work) [23:52] aghachi, anytime you modify xorg.conf it automatically creates a backup.. not a big issue. [23:52] scunizi it used to i duno wat happend i think when i put dual monitor the other monitor is using the file as well maybe? [23:52] Ok, Ill give that a shot [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: good afternoon. [23:53] Lokian, have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock [23:53] hwo do i know if my CD is the server edition? nothing diffferent in the / of cd [23:53] aghachi, there can only be one xorg running at a time. [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: running any windows program under Linux probably isn't a good idea [23:53] drx have you tryed vbox ? [23:53] ha, naswered my own question, suppose i could md5 it. [23:53] nickrud, Howdy... just stopped in for a few. [23:53] my word there are NO kubntu cd labels [23:53] scunizi o ok [23:53] DrX, That is something I can agree with [23:53] cjones_: no, i use Xen [23:53] Ok thanks OMPAUL [23:53] Xp isn't being able to find my networked printer even though i made sure it's on the right workgroup [23:53] Anyone know the link to the Ubuntu help on partitioning? [23:53] DrX: +1000 ;) [23:54] !partition > Sindacious [23:54] i have no problem running win games in linux [23:54] Sindacious: google gparted [23:54] cjones_, wow? [23:54] I already have moblock installed ompaul, I just need to set up my unbuntu server so that all my network traffic passes thru it [23:54] Sindacious: google gparted/ wiki [23:55] Lokian, read that page - I have not done it and am not interested in it - just passed on the link [23:55] scunizi: now it says Unable to %C8create %C1new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. after running the sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup command [23:55] Uh, thanks? [23:56] OK - dumb question of the month - if I dwload and compile an alsa snapshot, must I first remove all the alsa that ubuntu brought down on the install? [23:56] aghachi, what are you running that is trying to create a backup? [23:56] Lokian, all the info is there - read it [23:56] nvidia x server settings [23:56] scunizi: [23:56] edju, it is usualy a good idea to remove the oldone before instlling the newone [23:57] edju, unless you are upgrading from a pre-compiled package [23:57] aghachi are you running nvidia-settings? from a command line? [23:57] edju, and your question was not dumb , not in the least [23:57] nickrud, stdin there is now an mblock factoid [23:57] Pelo, ^^ [23:57] no application system settings and then the program [23:57] i can't find this compfiz thing? [23:58] ompaul, mblock ? [23:58] can you apt-get xfce desktop ? [23:58] !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot) [23:58] ompaul: you have it as mblock, not moblock [23:58] cjones_, yes , sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [23:58] wooopppp [23:58] woooppps [23:58] pelo thanks [23:58] * Pelo is very disapointed in ompaul [23:59] what is moblock anyway ? [23:59] * nickrud thinks Pelo better be nice to ompaul [23:59] ompaul can you send me the bot again [23:59] aghachi, ok.. to reverse it type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup .. that will recreate it if it needs it there to save to. [23:59] !compiz > pal (read the message from the bot) [23:59] Pelo, some iptables peer to peer stuff [23:59] I left a message on my friends ubuntu computer thats cool you can leave a message if you dont know the password to boot the system thats all I think is cool with ubuntu [23:59] ic
