(sorry for being such a newb) [01:28] I have mounted my windows partition but for some reason I cannot edit or delete any files on it. How can I fix this? [01:28] sasquatch3213213, test all =) [01:28] Is ubuntu more user friendly? [01:28] than what [01:28] !pastebin | nate77af [01:28] nate77af: 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) [01:28] is ubuntu more user friendly then xubuntu or kubuntu? [01:29] no [01:29] ripper666: get the ones you're likely to use. [01:29] i get this error "mount: /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez already mounted or /abc busy" when trying to mount the dvice [01:29] they run off of the same basis of knowledge [01:29] sudo Hi, rsync isn't copying everything in my home directory (i.e. skype files) any suggestions of other software to use? [01:29] sasquatch3213213: not. depends on your tastes [01:29] *not really [01:29] Rooty you put -a options? [01:29] kruqnut, how about umount abc ? [01:29] ok [01:29] any suggestions to where I can go to really find what ubuntu, xubuntu, and kubuntu are really about in terms of architecture and software and user ability? [01:29] sasquatch3213213: Kubuntu=Ubuntu only with the KDE environment Edubuntu=Best for schools UbuntuStudio=For people who wants to do multimedia a lot Xbuntu= Runs nither Gnome or KDE. Best for Old PCs [01:30] sasquatch3213213: due to the nature of linux, if you happen to get into trouble, kubuntu can be complex....... aspecially to a newbe, ubuntu is far less complicated althogh it is more text based, but is much easier to learn from and is more forgiving...... [01:30] i'd say ubuntu and kubuntu are reasonably similar in user friendliness and xubuntu is just a tad bit behind [01:30] sasquatch: ubuntu.com [01:30] Roooty: remember to use the -a option and don't use wild cards [01:30] sasquatch: I believe I came across descriptions and screenshots there at one point. [01:30] umount: abc: not mounted [01:30] I downloaded Compiz Fusion and now whenever I use it instead of Regular (Metacity) With an Internet App or open a window, it acts all weird. [01:30] i got taht when trying to umount [01:30] How can i recover files on an lvm partition? [01:30] kruqnut, then mount again ONCE [01:30] DellbuntuStudio5: How do you mean? [01:31] Hey, how do I disable updatedb? [01:31] amenado-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58047/ here are the results [01:31] DellbuntuStudio5: On which version? [01:31] same error [01:31] kruqnut, and cd abc [01:31] sasquatch3213213: these three types of linux are gaining world wide acceptance very fast, just load up the ubuntu, 1st......... learn [01:31] I never use updatedb/locate/these search facilities, but it slows me down horribly every day [01:31] same thing [01:31] magnetron Thanks, I'll check out the man pages [01:31] kruqnut, hm dunno [01:31] umount: abc: not mounted [01:31] Peaker-> what indications do you have to point towards updatedb ? [01:31] oops === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:31] Trying to get rid of the package containing updatedb yells at me that I must "know what I'm doing" because its an "essential package" [01:32] ubuntu@ubuntu:/abc$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez /abc [01:32] mount: /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez already mounted or /abc busy [01:32] lol can someone write an imwheelrc script for me [01:32] CAN SOME ONE HELP ME WITH VIDEO DRIVERS??? [01:32] amenado: every time my computer gets slow, I run top and see updatedb running, I sudo kill it and its fast again [01:32] Either the window shows the background picture (Window Decoration and border is still there) or the backgound gets messed up. On UbuntuStudio 7.10 Running Compiz 0.6.2 [01:32] <__mikem> !caps | Peaker [01:32] Peaker: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:32] Peaker: it is indeed many things depend on findutils [01:32] __mikem: please direct it to the right person [01:32] Peaker-> top shows updatedb? really? [01:32] will checking and repairing my filesystem make me lose data? [01:32] usser: What depends on it? [01:33] Deuryte: NO NNED TO SHOUT AT US! please wait [01:33] kruqnut: usually it won't [01:33] amenado: why is that surprising? [01:33] I'm rebuilding a machine for a friend, and it detects, but won't use the onboard USB or Ethernet. It turns out that it's an AMD Opteron64 processor. Is using the 64 bit version likely to solve this? [01:33] Either the window shows the background picture (Window Decoration and border is still there) or the backgound gets messed up. On UbuntuStudio 7.10 Running Compiz 0.6.2 [01:33] WHAT DID YOU SAY???????? [01:33] deuryte: what type of video card? [01:33] j/k [01:33] !caps | deuryte [01:33] deuryte: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:33] Peaker-> because i never saw updatedb ever shows up on top ever [01:33] amenado: it runs once a day [01:33] Peaker: its like part of the second tier of linux, first being the kernel [01:33] amenado: for a while, indexing everything [01:33] (instead of indexing changes as they happen :-( ) [01:34] have mounted my windows fat32 partition but for some reason I cannot edit or delete any files on it. How can I fix this? [01:34] nate77af-> those /dev/sda5 and sda6 ? [01:34] i have a ati 9200 se, just loaded ubuntu gutsy..... still running on vesa drivers........ [01:34] this is my fstab http://www.pastebin.org/22032 [01:34] deuryte: What card? Is it ATi or (g)Navida? IS it diffrent? [01:34] brb [01:34] Rael: where did you mount it? [01:34] usser: It should be observing for file system changes instead of scanning the entire thing every day [01:34] Peaker yes i know, but those normally runs at 4:02 AM [01:34] DellbuntuStudio5: ati radeon 9200se [01:34] ./mnt/windows [01:34] Rael: in the add-remove applications, search for ntfs. there's a utility. [01:34] usser: What depends on that part of the tier? apt-get remove here doesn't imply anything else would need to be removed too [01:34] Peaker maybe change your cron to run it while you are asleep? [01:34] amenado: And I'm awake in funny hours :) [01:35] its notntfs [01:35] its fat 32 [01:35] amenado: there's no hour in which I am always asleep [01:35] Peaker then run the cron at non-funny hours [01:35] Rael: It should just read it then... How did you mount it? [01:35] amenado-> yes I noticed when I ran mount the first time that they were actually listed twice... sda5 is working now with bnp but sda6 is not showing... [01:35] Peaker anyhow, there is the /etc/updatedb.conf === Num43 is now known as Num43|Sleep [01:35] hello [01:35] mount -t vfat [01:35] Peaker: set it to run with minimum priority. [01:36] Rael and you ran that as root? [01:36] Rael: try sudo chown -R : /mnt/windows [01:36] tlhonmey: does low priority affect its disk I/O performance, and its making lots of disk noise too? [01:36] nate77af-> umm can you man mount and look at those mask..i cant recall what they signify.. fmask and dmask [01:36] yeah the drive is mounted fine [01:37] Peaker: hmmm... I've never tested that. [01:37] Rael: There are the mount options: uid,gid to specify which uid,gid all the files there have [01:37] nate77af-> those sda5 and sda6 are what external usb drives? [01:37] i'm newer herer [01:37] how to install a Application? [01:37] Rael: you can set those to be your uid,gid [01:37] Rael: sudo -i to root and then see if you can read it. [01:37] forstrongest: use system > administration > synaptic package manager [01:37] usser: So, what bad effects does removing findutils have? Why is it an "essential package"? [01:37] I get an error when i start my Ubuntu 7.10 system like this http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/6513/gnomeerrorbs7.pn [01:37] amenado-> extended logical drives on the primary hard disk [01:38] I get an error when i start my Ubuntu 7.10 system like this http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/6513/gnomeerrorbs7.png [01:38] nate77af-> they are showing up okay on the mount command, so what is the issue? [01:38] ubuntufreak: try sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-control-center [01:39] Peaker: Under System->Preferences->indexing preferences you can just turn it off. [01:39] Starnestommy: Would try it now [01:39] Peaker: of the top of my head im not really sure what depends on it [01:39] tlhonmey: any kubuntu equivalent for my other machine? [01:39] Peaker: and it appears to watch your home directory. [01:40] tlhonmey: appearantly its big enough for it to thrash the disk for quite a while [01:40] amenado-> they wouldn't let me write files to them... but it seems that I've corrected my own problem... many thanks for your input :) I know how to use a pastebin now, lol [01:40] Peaker: I don't know. I don't use kubuntu much. It usually has the same options though, just organised differently. [01:40] tlhonmey: ok, thanks [01:41] Peaker: give me a moment... [01:41] Rael: did you fix your problem? [01:41] So I'd like to get a samba server running for my friends and I to share files easily, but I have no clue where to begin :) I've installed ubuntu server edition on a suitable machine and I've installed gnome and Xchat on it (so that I can look at wikis and ask for help :D ) I also chose "Samba" from the list of apps when installing server edition. anyway, now that I have a basic setup, where do I go from here? do I need to install any m [01:41] ore samba config things? How do I make sure my new network is secure? are there any good guides on this online? [01:41] ok so my titlebars are disappearing, i'm guessing from compiz running. desktop effects are DISABLED. [01:41] nate77af-> i dont know, it seems common, when we do it by ourselves, it dont work, but the moment someone else kind of point out things, suddenly things works..am speaking from experience [01:42] Peaker: the program is named tracker-preferences. try typing that in a shell. [01:42] I'm having trouble printing to a cups server on a mac. When I use the gnome-printer config utility and manually enter my printers network address, jobs are automatically filed as "completed" (according to the cups web page) but the jobs never show up inside the osx print que. However If I select "Detect lan printers" from the gnome-printer utility it first gives me an error about port 631 being opened up on my box but [01:42] it then shortly finds the printer on the mac and by using that printer I can send jobs to the server fine. After reviewing the properties of the 2 entires they're both using nearly identical setup information, the only outstanding differences being that the printer using autodetect has fewer print options. (yes both are using the exact same driver) But I still can't print from the printer I manually added. Could anybod [01:42] y explain what could cause this? [01:42] amenado-> have a great weekend! [01:42] nate77af-> likewise to you [01:42] Starnestommy: Am i suppose to restart the machine after installing it ? [01:42] tlhonmey: its part of tracker-search-tool, appearantly not a part of kubuntu [01:42] "sudo metacity --replace" is the only way to fix it, but adding it to my startup didn't fix the problem after reboot. i have to do that evertime (as root) after reboot or else i have no title bars and no open windows in the taskbar. [01:42] ubuntufreak: just hit ctrl+alt+backspace and it'll restart the desktop manager [01:42] rebooot is goood [01:43] Starnestommy: OK [01:43] ok so im trying to mount a partition(2 hard drives) on an intel softRAID [01:43] anyone here know where I could find a good guide to setting up a samba network? [01:43] i keep getting errors in my path and im not sure what to make of them [01:43] nope not yet [01:44] I am trying to edit my fstab file [01:44] Peaker: dang. I guess kubuntu uses something completely different then. Browse the menu I guess. [01:44] tlhonmey: will do, thanks [01:44] i installed dmraid [01:44] then when i try to mount, i get ubuntu@ubuntu:/abc$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez /abc [01:44] mount: /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez already mounted or /abc busy [01:44] what does under GROUPID and USERID in fstab? [01:45] [Q] How can i control volume with the command line? [01:45] i have to boot ubuntu by passing the 'noapic' paremeter or else it won't boot. is this normal? [01:45] Rael: the user and group id you want the files in mounted directory to be owned by [01:45] melanie: there was an issue w/ that when i tried compiz back with feisty, and its correctable, but i don't remember how.. ask in #compiz-fusions [01:45] Rael come again? [01:45] Starnestommy: Thanks :) Got my GDM working [01:45] back [01:46] decay: depending on your hardware, yes. that's why the option is there. [01:46] IndyGunFreak, the problem is i want to remove compiz and use metacity permanently... how can i do that? compiz seems to be too tightly integrated into 7.10... [01:46] solexious -- try aumix [01:46] so if I set my login in there does that mean I cant edit the mounted partition [01:46] melanie: turn desktop effectsoff? [01:46] tlhonmey: it just doesnt feel right =] [01:46] *off? [01:46] Back to my Problem: I downloaded Compiz Fusion and now whenever I use it instead of Regular (Metacity) With an Internet App or open a window, it acts all weird. Either the window shows the background picture (Window Decoration and border is still there) or the backgound gets messed up. On UbuntuStudio 7.10 Running Compiz 0.6.2 [01:46] ty [01:46] Rael: not sure I understand you [01:46] IndyGunFreak, they are off [01:46] Anyone here got a bcm43xx wireless modem to work? [01:46] melanie: in 7.10 I think it goes to metacity if you turn the desktop effects off. [01:47] melanie: well then if they are off, one would think you shoul have titlebars. [01:47] tlhonmey, the desktop effects are off [01:47] IndyGunFreak, tlhonmey it's the first thing i check after a reboot. [01:47] Melanie: If you have Compiz: Make sure Windows Decorations is turned On. [01:47] hmm, sorry, no logical answer for that one [01:48] Back to my Problem: I downloaded Compiz Fusion and now whenever I use it instead of Regular (Metacity) With an Internet App or open a window, it acts all weird. Either the window shows the background picture (Window Decoration and border is still there) or the backgound gets messed up. On UbuntuStudio 7.10 Running Compiz 0.6.2 [01:48] DellbuntuStudio5, i don't want to use compiz. seems 7.10 doesn't give me a choice tho, i haven't been able to remove it. [01:48] inwheel makes no sense [01:48] K, can't fix this, might as well format [01:48] how do i find out which chipset version my wireless modem has? [01:49] Rael: how you setting uid and gid in fstab? [01:49] decay lspci [01:49] melanie: Press Alt+F2 (Without the +) and type metacity --replace [01:49] oh wait modem i dunno [01:49] probably a silly question... if i install Ubuntu on a HDD on one pc and then move it into another pc, with the hdd being the only one in the pc, on the first master... it will "just work", wont it? [01:49] does this look ok /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 [01:49] silverblade: i believe you have to recompile the kernel [01:49] DellbuntuStudio5, that works (when i run it as root) but i want something that persists past a reboot. if i reboot, titlebars are gone again. [01:49] Rael: yea looks about right [01:49] mrunagi: why would that be necessary? [01:49] need tech support for installing on a crappy laptop without a cd/dvd drive using vmware with full hard disk acess... anyone think they can help? [01:49] mrunagi: thanks! [01:49] cool ty [01:49] silverblade: because the hardware has changed? [01:50] silverblade: i dont really know im just guessing [01:50] Melanie: Did you install Ubuntu using Wubi? [01:50] does anyone else know? [01:50] DellbuntuStudio5, certainly not [01:50] XtatX: can you use a USB CD Drive? [01:50] mrunagi: what about kernel version? [01:50] someone write me an imwheel script to change desktops with the side button =( [01:50] How can I switch from a dynamic DHCP ip adress to a static one? [01:51] im using a mounted image file through vmware [01:51] DellbuntuStudio5, ubuntu 7.10 alternate disc. [01:51] melanie: ok [01:51] basically i want to set up Ubuntu on a HDD in one PC, then travel half way across the country and slip that HDD into a machine. [01:51] Vovk: what do you mean? [01:51] ha [01:51] anyone know the sql command to reset a password? [01:51] i have problems with the graphic installer... is there a text based? [01:51] melanie: are you booting to external HDD? [01:51] XtatX: !alternate [01:51] DellbuntuStudio5, no [01:51] usser: I'm trying to set up a server, but right now my IP address is dynamic... won't this be a problem if people try to connect? [01:51] tnx [01:51] ok....... [01:51] XtatX: yes. choose the alternate when downloading. [01:51] !alternate [01:51] 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 [01:51] shit [01:51] DellbuntuStudio5, P-ATA [01:52] my bad [01:52] ok [01:52] hmm...... [01:52] Vovk: yes, servers are usually set to use static Ip [01:52] DellbuntuStudio5, there's no way to "permanently" replace the wm with metacity? [01:52] usser: when I installed it automatically set to dynamic. is there any way I can change this? [01:52] Vovk: but you have to know your network settings to set it correctly [01:52] jramsey: depends. What kind of sql database? [01:52] Vovk: yea sure [01:52] i'd like to know the underlying problem here, why is this occuring. what does ubuntu use by default (instead of metacity) that is causing this. [01:52] melanie: Are you running a Dell? If you are, did ubuntu come installed on it? and i dont think so. [01:52] usser: I should be able to find what I need [01:52] can i condense all desktop space down to certain dimensions in xorg.conf? i have this broken 24" LCD panel that is busted only on the right 5" or so- can i use only the other portion of it? [01:53] tlhonmey, joomla database when i installed joomla [01:53] DellbuntuStudio5, no, this is not a dell. dude, i didn't get a dell sorry. [01:53] heartsblood, I do not know muc about apparmor, this maybe be causing your issues with cups... [01:53] Vovk: edit /etc/network/interfaces [01:53] ok [01:53] sort of like Xfce4's borders but set in xorg? [01:53] Vovk: to suit your needs, you generally need to specify address, netmask and default gateway [01:53] ok... what do you mean by !alternate [01:53] ? compiz [01:53] jramsey: I have no experience with that. most SQL databases store passwords in one of the system tables. I would try a google search. [01:53] usser: ok thanks :) [01:53] ? xorg [01:54] tlhonmey, ok txs [01:54] ! compiz [01:54] 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 [01:54] alternate cd is cool... it supports encryption [01:54] XtatX: when you download a CD image from the ubuntu site, there is a checkbox to choose the alternate, non-live cd. [01:54] Vovk: something like this http://pastebin.ca/925160 === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [01:54] XtatX: it has lots more options and supports more hardware. [01:54] melanie: So the desktop decrations (Titlebars, theme, etc.) Are gone when you reboot, and after you log in, you have to command metacity --replace. Is this correct? [01:54] k... will get that tnx... gonna chk usenet first === lk is now known as remii [01:55] I uninstalled the package "python", which uninstalled EVERYTHING on my computer, can somebody tell me what to install to get all the core packages back? === remii is now known as remirokosa1 [01:55] DellbuntuStudio5, i have to run that as root. and the theme isn't so much gone... but all titlebars and window borders are gone, and running programs do not appear in the taskbar (where you minimize them to...) [01:55] melanie: Why are you running as root? [01:56] DellbuntuStudio5, i have to run the "metacity --replace" command as root for it to stick for that session. [01:56] Hello, I am Japanese, and I can not wirte English quickly. But please let me ask a question. [01:56] Hi can someone recommend a reinstall guide for gutsy? (I screwed up my packages) [01:56] I uninstalled the package "python", which uninstalled EVERYTHING on my computer, can somebody tell me what to install to get all the core packages back? [01:56] tmcfulton: that's a hard one. try ubuntu-desktop. No promises though. [01:56] okey [01:56] tmcfulton: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:57] !jp | Pasco [01:57] Pasco: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [01:57] dont ever uninstall python lol [01:57] I try to use debian on resolution 1360*768, but I could not. [01:57] don't ever just click ok without reading... [01:57] melanie: There is a problem that I cant help you with on your ubuntu. All I can say is reinstall ubuntu. I dont know anything else to help you. [01:57] There was only 1280*768. [01:58] What can I do to fix the issue, where after installing 7.10 all you get is BusyBox at boot? [01:58] melanie: what's the problem? [01:58] jsteezey, it tells you what packages it's going to remove... for some reason a lot of packages have "ubuntu-desktop" package marked for removal [01:58] BusyBox@Boot lol [01:58] klick [X] if you dont want to read :-) [01:58] Does ubuntu support 1360*768? [01:58] DellbuntuStudio5, reinstall won't fix it. [01:58] lol [01:58] custom res = lolz [01:58] After some reading around, I did the chksum test and the ISO is good... [01:58] usser, my titlebars disappear. "sudo metacity --replace" fixes it. this is only for the session, however. [01:58] I'm having trouble saving my fstab...I did sudo gedit fstab but gedit will not let me save the file....I tried doing su -l but that gives me an authentication error after putting in my password [01:58] did you lose a few rows of pixels? [01:58] hey how can i get apps to start on startup? [01:58] hey all, can someone tell me why this command is not logging to the file I specified " tail -f /var/log/auth.log | grep "Accepted password for root" >> /tmp/test.txt " [01:59] you were just in debian channel [01:59] #ubuntu-jp [01:59] the file is just blank.....

[01:59] melanie: dissapear after you login or after some time of using your comp, does this happen seemengly random? [01:59] melanie: Sorry! Try to use a Live CD instead of an alternate. Are you running a Computer With a PowerPC porcessor? Or a Mac with Intel? [01:59] i am running 7.10 in 100m ram,how to record all process running to a txt file [01:59] GiddyKong, check settings -> sessions [02:00] DellbuntuStudio5, it's some weird processor i've never heard of before [02:00] I take it from your reaction that this whole BusyBox business is not a big deal? [02:00] What's It called [02:00] remirokosa1: still does not work.... [02:00] melanie: What is the processor called? [02:00] usser, after a reboot of the WM. "sudo metacity --replace" fixes it until the user reboots/logs out and back in again. [02:00] thanks :D [02:00] :-D [02:00] hi! [02:00] Pasco: #ubuntu-jp [02:00] DellbuntuStudio5, i remember how to get it in kubuntu, how do you find it in gnome? [02:00] i am running 7.10 in 100m ram,how to record all process running to a txt file [02:00] thank you mr heartsblood [02:00] melanie: you're using Gnome? [02:01] >.> come on guys, at least a hint? [02:01] were i can download WINE 9.56 for ubuntu? [02:01] icesword: ps -aux > filename [02:01] danielvieceli: winehq.org [02:01] melanie: are you sure compiz is not set to run at startup? [02:01] tlhonmey, yes i'm using gnome. plain ubuntu was the only thing that really worked... xubuntu was nice until the config files for the tray got all wonky. [02:01] k [02:01] usser, i've checked in the sessions. is there another place i should check? [02:01] not have in wunehq.org [02:01] that should be in package installer daniel [02:02] ok [02:02] melanie: its usually gets put there [02:02] i from brasil [02:02] melanie: System---->Preferences----->Hardware Infomation [02:02] how do i get ask-ssh-passphrase to work when i log in ? [02:02] icesword: ps -eaf [02:02] :P [02:02] Personally I just redo all of KDM/GDM when I install stuff [02:02] I have all day guys. :P [02:02] melanie: if it's not running compiz in sessions, then what is it running? [02:02] tlhonmey: metacity, mentioned earlier [02:03] DellbuntuStudio5, i don't have that [02:03] Every ubuntu system does!!!!!!!!! [02:03] melanie:=-O [02:03] tlhonmey, i don't know. i always check after reboot if compiz is disabled and it is. "sudo metacity --replace" fixes it. [02:03] hi guys I need some help wrt graphics on my new ubuntu 7.10 install - installed proprietry drivers - the nvidia-glx-new for my card as its nvidia 8400gs [02:03] No, only ones which have ubuntu-desktop properly installed [02:03] melanie: so it says metacity under Sessions-> current session, but is running compiz instead? [02:04] Is there a conifg I missed somewhere during install? Because I kinda need this up and running... [02:04] Jahromeo: and? [02:04] but even tho it tells me drivers installed in the restricted drivers section ubuntu wants to use vesa- i know these drivers work as they worked when i had kubuntu installed [02:04] melanie: something is wrong with your computer. Waht is your computer make and model? [02:04] what gives? [02:04] adaird: usually there is [02:04] What do you think it might be? [02:04] adaird: what seems missing? [02:04] DellbuntuStudio5: melanie: no, nothing wrong with the computer if you don't want graphics accel or etc [02:04] Not sure. I ran MDK5 and it checked out ok, the Live CD runs fine. [02:05] DellbuntuStudio5, this is a custom built box. the hardware is cheapo stuff. the processor bearly needs a fan, it's an 800mhz thing that's designed for embedded applications. [02:05] So I know its not a corrupt file. [02:05] adaird: yeah, but what appears missing. as in what doesn't work? [02:05] melanie: Sorry! I don't know what the problem is! Sorry! [02:05] melanie: :'( [02:05] Oh! Well, when I boot from HDD it shows up as BusyBox. [02:05] Back to my Problem: I downloaded Compiz Fusion and now whenever I use it instead of Regular (Metacity) With an Internet App or open a window, it acts all weird. Either the window shows the background picture (Window Decoration and border is still there) or the backgound gets messed up. On UbuntuStudio 7.10 Running Compiz 0.6.2 [02:05] DellbuntuStudio5, ok, thanks for trying. [02:05] melanie: it's not hardware, just a misconfiguration likely [02:06] Draco, ok. i'd love to figure out the underlying problem. i think it's because 7.10 is set to use compiz/emerald by default [02:06] Ok, something seems to be up: I downloaded 7.10 desktop live CD, and when I try to boot, it just hangs. The MD5SUM is right, but it just hangs. Is it supposed to do this, or is something messed up? [02:06] hi guys I need some help wrt graphics on my new ubuntu 7.10 install - installed proprietry drivers - the nvidia-glx-new for my card as its nvidia 8400gs - but even tho it tells me drivers installed in the restricted drivers section ubuntu wants to use vesa- i know these drivers work as they worked when i had kubuntu installed [02:06] Anyone know which package has the man pages for emmintrin.h? === AHA_ is now known as AHA [02:07] melanie: well /usr/share/gdm etc probably has that. I use kdm, though [02:07] Invisionfree: From what I understand you need to run the cdui-boot prog off the live cd first, which puts an instruction on the boot record to allow boot from Cd. [02:07] Or, it may be that you simply have a damaged CD. [02:07] melanie: except, that when you select none for visual effects, it's supposed to switch to metacity... [02:07] hi, I just installed ubuntu in parallels mac, and for some reason apt-get won't work. something as simple as emacs won't get installed. It says it couldn't find the package. [02:07] adaird, I'm confused, what do you mean? :[ [02:07] ubuntu is not recognizing when i put a USB stick in (its a laptop, i boot with noapic paremeter). what should i do [02:07] Draco: Have any ideas on this whole BusyBox deal? [02:07] nope [02:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712461 please help! [02:07] Invisionfree: I am still learning this, so I am just giving you what I know. [02:08] Invisionfree, it does not hang i guess... just wait 5 mins [02:08] update manager error [02:08] Jahromeo: did you restart after installing them? anyhow sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.back then sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for vesa in the Device section, replace it with nvidia and try to restart x server if it throws you into text mode do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.back /etc/X11/xorg.conf and we will think about it more [02:08] adaird: has it started booting and you get busybox instead of a login prompt? [02:08] Correct. [02:08] adaird: what happens when you exit, ctrl-d it? [02:08] melanie: I'm assuming you've tried turning the visual effects on and then back off again. [02:08] qraebjoa, why? Is it a new feature or something? It usually never used to on my 6.10 [02:08] usser i didnt restart pc but i did restart x via ctrl+alt+bckspace [02:08] Draco: ctrl-d? Sorry, I am a n00b when it comes to this stuff. I just started into Linux cuz I am sick of MS. [02:09] they disabled some framebuffer thingy... dont know exactly [02:09] I am getting an error when trying to install anything which requires kernel-headers, because dpkg is returning an error code. there is a warning that the running kernel version does not match the kernel headers but /usr/src/linux points to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic which is what i am uname -r shows, any help is appreciated [02:09] tlhonmey, uhm... no? i don't think this crappy VIA integrated card can/should handle it [02:09] Draco: Do you mean ctrl-alt-del? [02:09] adaird: ctrl-d is 'end of file', you can use "exit" as well [02:09] Jahromeo: oh I see, in terminal do sudo modprobe nvidia and then restart x agaig [02:09] adaird: or enter, ctrl-d, sometimes it takes enter before. [02:09] I wil try, hand on. [02:09] Whats this wubi-cdboot thing? [02:10] Draco: It acknoledges the command but loops back into BusyBox. [02:10] Jahromeo: check your xorg.conf though too see if it uses nvidia instead of vesa [02:10] Invisionfree, ATi ? [02:10] melanie: it won't run anything the card can't handle. I use it on a crappy intel onboard when I want to show off. Sucks a lot of processor power though. [02:10] ok restarting x usser - lets see if it works thanks [02:10] adaird: what messages appeared? [02:10] hi, I just installed ubuntu, and for some reason apt-get won't work. something as simple as emacs won't get installed. It says it couldn't find the package. [02:10] sudo apt-get install emacs is correct right? [02:11] Draco: "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built in shell (ash)" [02:11] nemesis256: if you have a GUI, just search synaptic, it likely you just have the package name wrong [02:11] adaird: that's IT? [02:11] Yes. :( [02:11] Draco: Well, it also has the initramfs prompt. [02:11] nemesis: your problem is probably that it can't get to where it thinks the package is. Is your network up? [02:11] adaird: I'm thinking a few kernel messages would appear [02:11] qraebjoa, so I should let it try and run while I head to the restroom? [02:11] Draco: Me too, but its totally leaving me in the dark. [02:11] adaird: initramfs _prompt_? [02:11] yeah it is, I mean I can get to google [02:11] My new Ubuntu installation is hanging especially when using large programs like ff, I even when using opera. What could be possibly causing my system to hang? My XP installation never hanged. I have 256ram, 128vram, 1.4Ghz Athlon XP [02:12] Draco: " (initramfs) _ " [02:12] Oh god, it might be something to do with the extremely large fingerprint on my CD too, qraebjoa. :P [02:12] nemesis: do you have a GUI? [02:12] says I have the latest of synaptic [02:12] yes [02:12] Invisionfree, jup, or edit grub (ESC, E, add nosplash to the kernel line) [02:12] Draco: I have it running right now. [02:13] nemesis: sudo synaptic [02:13] My new Ubuntu 7.10 installation is hanging especially when using large programs like ff, I even when using opera. What could be possibly causing my system to hang? My XP installation never hanged. I have 256ram, 128vram, 1.4Ghz Athlon XP [02:13] Draco: A freind of mine mentioned that GRUB should appear. It doesnt. That likely has something to do with it. [02:13] adaird: were there any odd messages which appeared during installation? [02:13] is it possible to connect to my router from outisde my LAN, after i configure the router to forward http to a LAN computer [02:13] Draco: No, everything went off without a hitch. [02:13] Invisionfree, and delete quiet splash, then press b to boot [02:13] nemesis: synaptic's error messages are usually easier to interpret. [02:13] adaird: grub will appear, or else you don't have grub installed, at least properly [02:13] pyrak: to connect to your computer you mean not router? [02:14] how much space should i allocate for swap [02:14] Draco: Maybe its GRUB incognito. Dunno. [02:14] ok i rebooted to start with a fresh boot of live cd [02:14] adaird, make sure that your bios is set to boot hd0 [02:14] adaird: is the disc in the drive? [02:14] FFEMTcJ: 2-2.5x your memory [02:14] i installed dmraid, and ntfs configuration tool [02:14] I'm looking for kfirewall... does anyone know how I can get it? [02:14] hello all, i installed ubuntu server on old pc and adjust it well but when i reboot i get error message " kernel panic - not syncing : vfs : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) " anyone can help me fix this ? [02:14] how do i upgrade kernel? [02:14] !kfirewall [02:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about kfirewall - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:14] i ran partition manager, saw the drive and the name [02:14] pyrak: yes it is possible its just that many ISP's block incoming http(80) traffic [02:14] Draco: Disc? No. Should I have the Live CD on first boot from HDD? [02:14] i went to mount it [02:14] so if i have 2 gb memory, i should do between 4-5 gb? [02:14] adaird: no [02:14] FFEMTcjJ: correct. [02:14] what happens if i allocate too much swap? will my computer slow down or will it just practically never run out of memory? [02:14] ty [02:14] FFEMTcJ: yes [02:14] usser, no, i did in fact mean router. i want to configure port forwarding from outside my LAN [02:15] the list in synaptic is rather small, I don't see emacs. Is that what I have installed or what's available? [02:15] IndyGunFreak, My new Ubuntu 7.10 installation is hanging especially when using large programs like ff, I even when using opera. What could be possibly causing my system to hang? My XP installation never hanged. I have 256ram, 128vram, 1.4Ghz Athlon XP [02:15] lcuk: too much robs you of disk space, but it shouldn't slow things down. This isn't windows. [02:15] My BIOS is set to boot from CD, then HDD 0, then HDD 1, then network. [02:15] adaird: how a kernel is running without grub installed, I don't know [02:15] nemesis256: You probably don't have the right repositories set. [02:16] i still get this error : mount: /dev/mapper/isw_hjdeaacb_Terabytez already mounted or /raid busy [02:16] how do I get them? [02:16] pyrak: if your router supports it then yes, router maintanence port usually set to something other than 80 for linksys its 8080 [02:16] tlhonmey, with 100s of gb in even the cheapest drive nowadays, its not a problem to simply tell people "as much as you want but not less than 2x actual memory" [02:16] Draco: You got me. On start up, it asks me if I want to run Windows or Ubuntu-Linux and it has a timer. I am pretty sure thats not GRUB. [02:16] pyrak: so if u forward 80 port you still should be able to access your router at 8080 [02:16] adaird: oh, that's the default grub setup, so yeah [02:16] nemesis256: under settings in Synaptic choose repositores. [02:16] Draco: So we ruled that out. Good. [02:17] adaird: use e to edit that line and remove quiet or whatever [02:17] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop === cyphr is now known as techographer [02:17] what do I check in the settings? [02:17] Icuk: I do believe I just said something like that... [02:17] usser, perfect. that's the kind of solution i was looking for. it doesn't seem to work right now, but perhaps i need to somehow enable it from the router config [02:17] Draco: Eh? There isnt anyplace to type when in that menu. Do I just highlight the option and hit "e"? [02:17] usser, i'm on a wrt54g (linksys) [02:17] so selecting "normal effects" gave me an error that it couldn't run compiz... and the titlebars came back. i rebooted... and they were still there! magic! [02:17] adaird: yes [02:17] should the root be ext3? [02:18] Draco: Ok, I will reboot and give it a shot. [02:18] yer i just noticed after i posted, my bad - its goin a bit quick in here [02:18] adaird: chances are the install was botched [02:18] pyrak: remote management is turned off by default as its not considered safe with default password not set [02:18] FFEMTcJ, yes [02:18] melanie: probably when you turned it off the first time, it didn't turn it all off. [02:18] ty again [02:18] pyrak: its in administration tab === jms1989__ is now known as jms1989 [02:18] tlhonmey, i guess not. it was always off, i'd go to select it off and it would always be off. [02:18] usser, found it. thanks [02:18] Draco: I am nearly positive this isnt GRUB now. [02:19] nemesis: choose repositories, and just select them all. [02:19] how to install that sysv-rc? [02:19] adaird: also I had a problem where Linux appeared to boot and got to that point, but Linux was not on the boot drive. the Linux drive blew up without me noticing that as the culprit [02:19] whats the terminal command to find my IP address [02:19] IndyGunFreak: ifconfig [02:19] icesword, search in synaptic [02:19] ok, I think that worked [02:19] ip addr [02:19] thanks [02:19] melanie: that's probably an install error then. It knew it couldn't handle it, but didn't turn it all off. [02:19] Starnestommy: thanks [02:19] Draco: Not only did the e thing not work, but "For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for windows, press F8" is at the bottom of my screen. [02:19] jack-desktop, I went to that site after you had disconnected and the "ball" bouncing was not smooth at all - the balls didn't even show some of the time [02:19] adaird: okay, turn off quiet [02:19] IndyGunFreak, try also route.. :-) [02:19] Draco: I would say something didnt install proper. [02:19] adaird: um, yeah, that's the NT bootloader [02:20] tlhonmey, hrm. either way, i'm glad it's off. i'd like to file a bug about it, but i have no idea how to file this kind of bug lol [02:20] I have another question. Is compiz fusion default with gusty? [02:20] i don't really know what the problem is [02:20] Draco: Right. [02:20] adaird: it shouldn't even ask if you want to run Ubuntu. [02:20] (Gutsy) How do I download the Python drivers for Chess in 3D? [02:20] Draco: format partition and reinstall? [02:20] adaird: if it is, it probably can't boot the kernel [02:20] nemesis256: do your windows wobble? [02:20] i installed ubuntu server on old pc and adjust it well but when i reboot i get error message " kernel panic - not syncing : vfs : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) " anyone can help me fix this ? [02:21] nemesis256: if they do, then you're using compiz. [02:21] they're not, that's why I'm asking [02:21] adaird: probably, or well install the boot loader onto disk 1 (where windows is) [02:21] mohamed_-> one time or all the time? if one time, reboot again [02:21] Draco: Boot windows and then run the installer off of the Live CD? [02:21] Pwhdavey, If you install chess with synaptic then you should already have everything it needs. [02:21] adaird: no, don't run the installer in windows [02:21] amenado, all time i can't boot to the system [02:21] nemesis256: it's installed by default, but not turned on. === james_ is now known as lwizardl [02:22] hi [02:22] Draco: @.@ [02:22] ic [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: I have Chess, but it needs Open GL Python stuff to run in 3D view. [02:22] is compiz --replace supposed to start it? [02:22] mohamed_-> what is the specs of your old pc? [02:22] Pwhdavey, How did you install it [02:22] Draco: Is there a way I can clean the HDDs and install Ubuntu standalone? [02:22] nemesis256: it's controlled in system->preferences->appearance [02:22] ah ok [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: I never installed anything! [02:22] anyone know where I can get the mhz-mp3 encoder for ripperX? [02:22] nemesis256: under visual effcts [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: Chess came with 7.10 by default. [02:23] uhm my xchat is beeping everytime i hit a key [02:23] anyone know what is going on [02:23] adaird: might want to ask your friend how to get grub installed. it's not exactly the same for every computer [02:23] Pwhdavey, So you need to get your video drivers correctly installed [02:23] Draco: How would you go about it? [02:23] amenado, is hp vectra p3 733 128 ram, , hdd 40G ubuntu 7.10 server [02:23] nemesis256: if you want more control over what it does, there is a control application available in applications-> add-remove. search for compiz. [02:23] hey [02:23] OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings are what I need.

A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [02:23] ok, thanks [02:24] Draco: I am using a eMachine with a celeron and 768MB ram, 2 40GB HDDs. [02:24] adaird: use repair mode, mount hard drive, chroot in, run grub-install /dev/hda or /dev/sda [02:24] Draco: I dont know what any of that means. :( [02:24] mohamed_-> maybe your install did not complete correctly...just one hard disk right? === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid [02:24] adaird: exactly [02:24] adaird: why I said ask someone who can actually see the system. I can't [02:25] Draco: Ok. Thanks alot for your help.

[02:26] tekteen: you might need to enable the framebuffer [02:26] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah [02:26] tekteen-> the curses program should handle that..nothing you can set outside i believe [02:26] Newbie_Help: just ask here [02:26] That is what I am trying to enable. [02:26] Jack_Sparrow, ive neever been able to get the 3d chess thing to actually be 3d. :) it does play chess nicely in 2d.

Looks good. But I don't know how to play with these effects after enabling them. ;) [02:30] \(and in gnome partition editor) [02:31] Pwhdavey, system pref advanced [02:31] qraebjoa: It didn't work.

[03:38] I dunno I'm running gutsy now from upgrade from fiesty [03:38] If I do that I might as well use the upgrade manager [03:38] hey guys... metacity --replace worked! ... however... every time I restart the machine do I need to do it again all the time? (restart makes it not work again) [03:38] Does anyone know of a good howto to installing kqemu on gutsy? [03:38] And download another 700mb [03:38] no hoarde [03:39] draicone upgrade managers worked fine for me, on the last two upgrades I've done. [03:39] when it happened to me i only had to do it that one time [03:39] If the update manager just updates the packages, can I point the update manager at the mounted ISO and tell it to update using those files? [03:39] <_peter> Hoarde, just set None effects [03:39] draicone: no [03:40] effects is set to "none" [03:40] I think the update manager did more cuz you have to have all the updates inorder to upgrade [03:40] anyone? Tutorial on installing kqemu for gutsy? [03:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo this may help computerex [03:42] I'll try another restart to see if it does it again [03:42] brb [03:43] hai [03:43] Thanks bazhang. I'll check it out [03:43] no worries computerex ;] [03:44] hi [03:44] :) [03:44] hola [03:44] https://saschashideout.de/blog/2007/oct/27/correctly-install-kqemu-on-gutsy-gibbon/ computerex this too ;] [03:44] On Ubuntu... do I just insert the printer USB cord into the computer and Linux will find and install the drivers automatically? [03:44] estoy empezando [03:44] ;P The physical drivers that came on the CD with the printer are lost. [03:45] And although they are on the desktop... I tried putting them on a flash drive and copying them to my laptop, but that didn't work. [03:45] quisiera q me sieran una ayuda de como instalar los paquetes [03:45] *coughs* [03:45] bazhang - Thanks a lot :D [03:45] spanish fairelys? /j #ubuntu-es ;] [03:46] draicone: I think the update manager allows you to add locations with packages you want... so if you mount the ISO, you might be able to point it to that location [03:46] On Ubuntu... do I just insert the printer USB cord into the computer and Linux will find and install the drivers automatically? [03:46] FrostRat: Would that override the default web-based source when I run the update wizard? [03:46] Pwhdavey: Linux will have most of them--what printer [03:47] FrostRat: Or would I have to update all the packages to the 7.10 versions and then let the update wizard take care of the rest? [03:47] bazhang: Canon MP110 [03:47] Hmm... is there any way to convert the normal ISO to an alternate ISO? [03:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289319 Pwhdavey look at entry number six on this thread [03:49] draicone: hmmm... good question. :) I guess you'd have to go through the proper dist-upgrade steps, but that's if this idea would even work. [03:49] so [03:50] is there any programs for ubuntu [03:50] draicone: I've never tried anything like that... I'm lucky enough to have truly unlimited bandwidth. :D [03:50] that makes it look like ur hacking [03:50] kinda like [03:50] cappuichino [03:50] codename: yes [03:50] codename: easy on the enter key [03:50] Sorry. [03:50] FrostRat, do you have any suggestions? [03:50] FrostRat: Well, I'm halfway up a hill five kms from my exchange and barely averaging 48kB/s :( It's not too bad though. I used to be on dialup. [03:52] it took me an hour to update from fiesty to gutsy [03:52] draicone: Ouch! Honestly, if you've got the bandwidth (even without the speed), it might be a good idea to just let it run overnight and not worry that you'll mess stuff up [03:52] Hmm, I suppose [03:53] Bandwidth isn't a problem, it's unmetered from my ISP mirror [03:53] I might just download the ISO overnight [03:53] the alternate would be a good choice draicone [03:53] codename: I've seen something like that, didn't pay much attention to it, though. There's a thread on ubuntuforums where a guy wants to make his desktop look like he's a hardcore hacker. :D Funny stuff. They wrote some scripts that you might like. [03:54] draicone: Good luck! It's late, I'm out. [03:54] I'll just download the alternate overnight then -- or I could just let the update manager do its stuff tonight [03:54] Thanks FrostRat, bazhang, bruenig, cens0red, psychoman [03:55] yw [03:55] hmmm [03:55] np [03:56] quit === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen === qiansancp is now known as qiansan === persib_ is now known as cE-eXeMphe [03:58] what is the Xubuntu package called?

I have an odd problem on my Kubuntu Gutsy laptop. When it has a net connection, the apache server on it (I do development) works fine. If there is no net connection, though, apache shuts down.

[05:02] googling this is his livecd [05:03] hp then check the md5 sum [05:03] yea im on livecd [05:03] if i upgrade my gtk+ version to 2.12.7 will it hurt anything?

[05:04] bazhand: thanks [05:04] hp no worries; I have to run off for a bit, but the fine folks here can help if that does not work out ;] [05:05] bazhang: with the update from ftp.gnome.org [05:05] i'm having serious issues with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/93396 and can't take it anymore [05:05] i was going to upgrade to 2.12.7 rather than wait for hardy heron [05:05] Hi I have to Reinstall Gutsy but the partitioners on the LIve CD / Alt CD just freeze up. What do I do? [05:05] zozobra not sure about that; some would say it is unsafe [05:05] q hay [05:05] hmmm [05:06] kruqnut, I'm not sure ... to see what shares are available you could try smbclient -L \\\\system - this will show if basic connectivity is there [05:06] ok ill try that [05:06] So... how many of you guys have seen all three parts of The Matrix trilogy? [05:06] me...all three ...in a row [05:06] SuperLag: hehe probably most but offtopic here [05:07] whats up folks [05:07] Strawberryjam: how do the second two compare to the first one? [05:07] dont like 2nd...like 3rd [05:07] bazhang: are you kidding? it's the best tech movie of all :) [05:07] !ot | SuperLag [05:07] SuperLag: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:07] does anyone know how to get the dxr3 working for tv-out? [05:07] ^or a howto meant for ubuntu [05:08] trust me, if I can get bitched at for answering a ruby question b/c it's offtopic, a movie is DEFINITELY offtopic [05:08] oops sorry...could not resist answering that...love it too much [05:08] It's okay... you'll all live. [05:08] haha [05:08] Hi I have to Reinstall Gutsy but the partitioners on the LIve CD / Alt CD just freeze up. What do I do? [05:08] regeya: ruby++ [05:08] Roooty, you could try another partitioner [05:08] Roooty, Try the gparted livecd [05:09] !gparted [05:09] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [05:09] Roooty: try cfdisk in the live cd [05:09] when i'm using screen, all of my the colors i use in my bash scripts revert to white. anyone know why? [05:09] hi, I installed wubi (ubuntu 7.04) everything was fine, but now when I boot it says /bin/sh: can't acces tty: job control turned off and won't let me login... what could cause this? [05:09] hey nickrud :-) [05:09] Mega_byte: that's a fairly common problem; you can find threads on it at the ubuntu forums [05:09] Mega_byte, Wubi isnt supported here [05:09] ph0rensic: hi [05:10] ok...does anybody know if Ubuntu has support for EMU 1212 under ALSA? Without the Microdock that is. [05:10] Thanks for the responses. Can I install without partitioning? The drive is ALReady partitioned correctly [05:10] Jack_Sparrow: that is great news ;) [05:10] joh6nn, I already read the threads, it's why I'm here [05:10] nickrud, It is a terrible way to install ubuntu anyhow === eric__ is now known as Monsha [05:10] Jack_Sparrow, Wubi is Ubuntu 7.04, so this problem should be same [05:10] Mega_byte: you tried the kernel boot options and kernel modules? [05:10] Jack_Sparrow: agreed. [05:10] Jack_Sparrow, Yes its worse than running it in a VM [05:10] joh6nn, could you please tell me how to access them? [05:11] Mega_byte, NO it isnt the same as a regular install [05:11] !forums [05:11] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [05:11] Mega_byte: they're in the forum threads to which i referred. [05:11] I'm running 7.10 Studio right now...and cant get my brand new S/Card to work [05:11] !wubi | regeya [05:11] !privmsg [05:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about privmsg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:11] Jack_Sparrow, Isn't the Wubi instalation pretty much a vm anway? I guess it doesn't even have its own partitions etc [05:11] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> !gos [05:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about gos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:12] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> !info gos [05:12] Package gos does not exist in gutsy [05:12] joh6nn, well they ask for a cd... but that computer doesn't have one, so I cannot boot from it.. is there any other way to get access to the boot options in this case? [05:12] privmsg without permission is rude [05:12] !unvestigate [05:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about unvestigate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:12] [Hardy]TuTUXG, what you wanna know about gOS? [05:12] !investigate [05:12] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [05:12] ph0rensic, Yes it is another version of a vm... but has problems of its own that are not due to ubuntu [05:12] does anyone answer anything any more or does everyone just use the bot and tell people to bugger off and look elsewhere [05:12] how do I get the current source of the kernel used in my ubuntu? [05:12] Any of you guys put Ubuntu on an EEEpc? [05:13] !build-essential [05:13] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:13] SuperLag: I have (Kubuntu) [05:13] hi, aMule keeps crashing. I am running ubuntu gutsy 64, the version from synaptic would crash so I have downloaded the 64bit version of amule from getdeb, but it hasnt helped. any suggestions? thanks a lot [05:13] Jack_Sparrow, Yes I definitely would not recommend that installation method to anyone [05:13] Mega_byte: when you turn the computer on, you'll see something that basically says "press a key to see the grub menu". do that, and at the menu, press E to edit the first line of the menu. you can follow the forum instructions from there [05:13] Draco: How well does it work? Any missing functionality? [05:13] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> ph0rensic, not really.. just need their repo [05:13] SuperLag: only problem is the kb is way too small [05:13] triorieel: sudo apt-get install linux-source [05:13] joh6nn, thank you [05:14] Draco: :) [05:14] Mega_byte: : ) good luck [05:14] nickrud: thank you [05:14] nickrud, He may just need build-essential [05:14] triorieel: that does assume you're using the latest kernel version [05:14] Draco: a man has to learn to improvise, when he uses Linux.... a small keyboard is no exception :) [05:14] anyone have any idea what would cause screen to ignore colors in bash? [05:14] [Hardy]TuTUXG, is it deb http://packages.googlepc.com/gos/ painful main ?? [05:14] Jack_Sparrow: he may only need the headers, also. But he did ask for the current source :) [05:15] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> ph0rensic, cool, thanks [05:15] any one here successfully using the integrated camera on the Lenovo T61 with Gutsy? [05:15] [Hardy]TuTUXG, not a problem glad I could help [05:15] nickrud, Agreed, perhaps we should ask him what he is trying to accomplish [05:15] joh6nn, was it bashrc or bash profile that is ignored [05:15] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> is there a channel for dreamlinux? [05:15] [Hardy]TuTUXG, #dreamlinux maybe [05:15] triorieel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#head-18233ed0977bbdf77cd45200af6cd9335b07c030 [05:15] Does anyone know how to fix the bug in kover artist with not being able to select a case in ubuntu [05:16] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Starnestommy, that channel is empty [05:16] Have a newbie question. Im trying to install an ATI driver, its a .run file. but when i try to install it, it says that I need to run the installer as super-user. if thats a sudo command how do i use it for an installer [05:16] I LOVE UBUNTU [05:16] ere4si: screen loads my custom .bashrc, but it doesn't recognize the color settings [05:16] Flannel: ? [05:16] xeenan, can you try to install via restricted driver manager?' [05:16] xeenan, in a terminal, sudo sh /path/to/file.run [05:16] so, as an example, "tput setaf 1" for the color red, isn't being honored [05:16] xeenan, it should work better than installing it via the .run file [05:16] Flannel: sry, the link went ont eh enxt line and didn't notice it [05:16] joh6nn, I've heard it ignores some bash profiles but should use bashrc... [05:16] xeenan: that's not a good way to install the ati driver, a sec [05:17] Starnestommy, it should probably have to be chmod +x too though eh [05:17] xeenan: are you just trying to get 3d running, or are you using the one from the ati site for a particular reason? [05:17] nickrud, I suggested the proprietary driver manager [05:17] well i did it via driver manager but the 3d test failed [05:17] ere4si: yeah, it's loading the bashrc. i can tell, because it puts all the right information in my prompt. it just doesn't set my prompt to the color i've chosen [05:17] triorieel, What are you trying to build or compile [05:17] ph0rensic: good choice [05:18] trying to get the 3d running [05:18] i'll be back in a sec [05:18] is there a way to do that [05:18] xeenan: what video card are you running? [05:18] nickrud, he said he did it that way but the 3d test failed..? ATI... [05:18] 9550 [05:18] fglrx [05:18] Jack_Sparrow: support for a dxr3 card [05:18] Draco: So... no missing functionality though? [05:18] Hi, I'm not a ubuntu user but I need the command that lists services. equivalent of chkconfig --list. thanks [05:18] xeenan, any specific fail message? [05:18] triorieel, WHo makes them.. sorry, never heard of them [05:19] Jack_Sparrow: ati 9550, fglrx is correct? [05:19] yes [05:19] Draco: did you get the camera to work, as well? [05:19] benja22:then ask your distro's channel [05:19] ya let me run the test again really quick [05:19] Jack_Sparrow: heh. I'm not keeping up with scroll well [05:19] Jack_Sparrow: sigmatel IIRC [05:19] erawfish_: I need the ubuntu command to list services. [05:19] Jack_Sparrow: creative (you may have heard of them as hollywood cards). a lot of media players support outputting through them (ie xine) [05:19] benja22: ls /etc/init.d/ [05:19] Your graphics card does not appear to be setup correctly. [05:19] Please check the documentation for your Linux distribution [05:19] and your graphics card drivers to ensure proper installation. [05:20] erawfish_: great. Thank you. [05:20] xeenan: where did you see that? [05:20] xeenan: pastebin your Xorg.0.log [05:20] triorieel, you will need to sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:21] Jack_Sparrow: already done :) [05:21] k [05:21] triorieel: and you'll want linux-headers-$(uname -r) on that apt-get line, you don't need the whole source [05:21] I play the eve-online game and it comes with a hardware tester and the 3d acceleration test failed aand thats the mesage [05:21] xeenan, Is this in linux or under wine [05:21] the driver is from the restricted drivers [05:21] nickrud: the source line given to me earlier is already done [05:21] Jack_Sparrow: it'S wine [05:21] xeenan: are you running compiz? [05:22] linux ver. of the game [05:22] xeenan: isn't that simply a wine built binary? [05:22] a game that finally has a linux download ver. [05:22] 11 [05:23] xeenan: if you're using compiz, you won't be able to run gl games successfully [05:23] how do i know if im running that [05:23] nickrud, I am thinking of writing a bash script that will read current compiz state and flip it on and off for those people.. [05:23] xeenan: if you don't know, you're almost certainly not :) ps -A | grep compiz in a terminal [05:24] Jack_Sparrow: heh. I wouldn't run an bash script from an unknown source [05:25] hey i was wondering how i could allow a desktop user to configure wireless interfaces in ubuntu... can anyone help? [05:25] Jack_Sparrow: you were supposed to laugh [05:25] Can anybody possibly help me with laptop wireless? [05:25] arrrgh [05:25] well i guess i dont have that cause it says command not found [05:25] xeenan: make sure you have the spaces correct [05:25] nickrud, try fglrxinfo [05:25] nickrud: I'm having problems with make menuconfig in the /usr/src/.... directory [05:25] i copied and pasted [05:26] lol [05:26] xeenan: ps -A lists all the processes running on your system. It is on every linux machine in the world [05:26] simplyubuntu: try nm-applet? [05:26] I think the package is called NetworkManager [05:26] it should come by default though [05:26] triorieel: install libqt3-mt , and run make xconfig [05:27] nickrud: libqt3-mt is already the newest version. [05:27] ok worked that time i dont have the program [05:28] do i need that [05:28] can anyone can anyone suggest a good dock? ^^ === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [05:28] xeenan: ok, so far so good. Next , run fglrxinfo in the terminal. Does it say it's using mesa drivers? [05:28] GiddyKong, AWN [05:28] nickrud: * Unable to find the QT3 installation. Please make sure that.......... [05:28] thanks ^^ [05:28] triorieel: I may have the wrong lib, that error tells you what to install [05:28] yeah cyclonut.... i think i its the default applet thingy... however, whenever i try to reset the interface, for example, it asks me for an admin password [05:28] nickrud, apt-get install xserver-xgl then sudo depmod -a [05:29] Jack_Sparrow: don't want compiz, want to run gl game [05:29] simplyubuntu: ah, I dont think you'll get around that... or if you do, I'd like to know how because there are somethings I could use that for [05:29] xeenan@xeenan-desktop:~$ fglrxinfo [05:29] display: :0.0 screen: 0 [05:29] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

So, it's something in your invocation of eve. [05:29] hmm === cHeRrY_ is now known as Handy_K [05:29] xeenan, in the future you should use a pastebin to paste multiple lines [05:30] !pastebin | xeenan [05:30] xeenan: 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) [05:30] ph0rensic: I let floodbot be the arbiter of that these days. The uber-ops set that :) [05:30] ok sry [05:31] nickrud, hehe ;-) [05:31] Floodbots are way faster than we are [05:31] nickrud: will the kernel have the settings used by my kernel already set? [05:31] that program you were asking me about do i need that to run pc games [05:31] Can anybody help me...? [05:31] xeenan: no, you need to not have it running. [05:31] ok [05:31] Can anyone help me? [05:32] Lowkey_, Not unless you ask your question [05:32] Lowkey_, [05:32] xeenan: I checked for that first, since it messes with the output of fglrxinfo . [05:32] I asked a few times [05:32] I need help with installing wireless [05:32] Jack_Sparrow, How many lines before the floodbot kicks in? [05:32] On an HP laptop [05:32] which command can hide the gvim toolbar in .vimrc,thx [05:32] Lowkey_ which HP Laptop?

[05:56] malocite, instead of the symlink you could use the mount rebind option, but I have to refresh my memory on how to use it [05:56] googling: so in fstab insert (sda1 is the drive I am trying to mount) /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [05:57] then do a link from /mnt/sda1 to the /home folder? [05:58] malocite, yes [05:58] hi! when i put my sata drives to sleep using hdparm -y they start spinning again after 5 minutes. i have unmounted the partitions and don't really know what causes this behaviour (i am not accessing the drives) can someone help?

[06:01] :D i broke a pakage how do i remove it? [06:01] malocite, you may prefer: mount --bind /mnt/sda1 /home - instead of the symlink - then it looks like a real top-level directory [06:01] Jack_Sparrow: no, it is not running [06:01] so i can retry [06:01] >< [06:01] hi everyone, when I go to install ubuntu I get a "no common cd-rom drive was detected" message.

[06:04] also with a sis 9XX can you get 3d working - not sure there is large website anyone done it ? [06:04] so, I have an external hard drive, but when I plug it in, I can't see it. I can't even see the entry in /media/, can someone plz help me [06:04] leave #ubuntu [06:04] malocite: yep, should be around twice your swap space - that's generally the recommendation [06:05] malocite: sorry, meant twice your RAM size [06:05] thats what installed by default :) [06:05] so I should have like 2000000 for swap then [06:05] malocite: yes, strange it chose that number, but then I always do manual partitioning [06:06] its only a 20 gig drive that the install is on, maybe thats why [06:06] hi, I have the /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off problem in Ubuntu 7.04, I read what was said in forums, but it didn't help, anyone knows how to track exactly the origin of the problem in this case?

I'm gonna reboot and see if my drive mounts on boot :) [06:06] googling: or is there a way to test fstab without rebooting [06:07] malocite: you should be able to just do umount /dev/sda1 and then mount /dev/sda1 to see if your fstab is working [06:07] malocite: are you going to stick with the symlink or change to use the --bind option? [06:08] googling: But that just tells me if I can mount, it doesn't tell me if I made the fstab entry right doesn't it? [06:08] man this is tough...ok, this is my last resort. [06:08] googling: I don't know anything about --bind, only worked with symlinks before [06:08] malocite: that's only entering part of the information - it needs to go to fstab to get the rest of the information [06:08] i am stuck at 576x384 at 30hz rez [06:09] i just installed ubuntu on a PS3 [06:09] How do I get back to graphic mode?

[06:14] malocite: yes it will stay, personally I'd switch to the --bind approach, but it's fine to stay with what you are comfortable doing [06:14] googling: Actually, I think I should.... I seem to be having problems with it as a symlink [06:15] malocite: what you may find when moving around the /home directories is that it will sometimes show up as /mnt/sda1/home and not /home [06:15] Thanks jack-Sparrow [06:15] I think that is happening, whem i try to open the home dir in gnome nothing comes up, so I suspect thats happening [06:15] malocite: so just rm the symlink and then do mount --bind /mnt/sda1 /home [06:16] googling: Will I have to do that on every boot? [06:16] anyone have any thoughts on my resolution issue? === plamo is now known as Timi [06:16] malocite: you can also put that in /etc/fstab, but it needs to be after the /dev/sda1 mount [06:18] hi, i need to setup a network connection for file transferring with a windows computer, i need to backup some files before reformatting the drive in this computer, i am trying to do this from the live cd as i can't install an OS on this computer atm [06:18] how would i go about doing this? [06:18] googling: What would that line look like in fstab?

[06:22] googling: and when I click on HOME FOLDER nothing comes up [06:22] malocite: I would try rebooting so that the home directory is mounted early [06:22] i guess i could unplug the internet wire and run it thru the router and then use the 192.168.1.100 etc ips, but is there a way to do it with a direct connection?

Runs w/ wine nicely [06:24] think it's worth the money for deveopment? [06:24] you can use pidgin [06:24] try it all and choose what fits you best, there is not thing such as "the best", just what suits your needs [06:24] it comes with ubuntu [06:24] krept: I use pidigin for everything else [06:24] and it also does all your IM programs [06:24] kruqnut: yes, for a direct connection you will need to set static IP addresses on both systems - how many ports do you have on the router [06:24] pidgin's irc support is highly incomplete [06:25] when trying to run elisa I get this error *** stack smashing detected ***: python terminated [06:25] I just dont like how it handles irc [06:25] i have 4 ports on the router + it sends a wireless signal [06:25] i could never get irc to work right with pidgin [06:25] googling: Thou art wise in the ways of the linux, the reboot has been successful :) [06:25] i can just unplug the ethernet cable from the modem to router and use that to plug into the other computer [06:25] irssi, free, best available [06:25] malocite: excellent [06:25] Again, I am like 2 secs away from a $20 registration.

[06:26] xchat ftw [06:26] kruqnut: you have the windows machine connected to the router - can you just connect the ubuntu machine to it too? [06:26] * jamesrdorn installs xchat [06:26] jamesdorn irssi, it's text based, out of terminal, but you just can't beat it [06:26] well windows machine isn't connected to anything atm lol [06:27] i only have 2 cables [06:27] I think there was a project to make a GUI for irssi [06:27] kruqnut: [06:27] sladen, I used it a while ago [06:27] and one is connected to modem, and one to this computer [06:27] thats why when i go to try things, i have to disconnect [06:27] kruqnut: what you suggested will work fine, two IPs from the same private subnet [06:27] irssi had gui in windows, i think [06:27] ok [06:27] bitchx if you just gotta chat in a term [06:27] sladigar, it's just a cygwin cmd window [06:27] then after that i should be able to just do smbclient \\\\system\\share?

[07:00] hi i just got this installed [07:00] Lowkey_, ubuntu 7.10 has compiz built in [07:00] Lartza_: ok m8 maybe someone else knows ill have a google for you [07:00] kruqnut: yes [07:00] System>Apearance [07:00] kittykitty: might be as a result of the settings on eth0? try making everything static, if that doesn't cause too much trouble [07:00] actually, I think I have 7.10 [07:00] is webmin same than ispconfig? [07:00] System>Prefs>apearance [07:00] Thanks :D [07:00] Visual Effects tab [07:00] ispconfig? [07:00] it's not as configurable [07:01] if i just setup both networks, then bridge them using the brctl commands, it still breaks the networking [07:01] oh :( [07:01] i mean i dont know anything about ispconfig, but have webmin installed [07:01] but it works as long as you have a supported card/driver [07:01] kittykitty: why bridging? [07:01] jamesrdorn, it is, but you have to install another program... [07:01] try it out [07:01] "None, Normal, Extra" [07:01] Cap_J_L_Picard, right [07:01] cause i have other computers that arn't wireless and i'm borrowing internet from down the street [07:01] let me find it [07:01] Lowkey_, search around for some compiz config apps that might help you out [07:01] when i did echo command it said bash: permission denied [07:02] I'm on the Beryl website [07:02] Lowkey_, my experiance is the config apps can really screw things up [07:02] :-S [07:02] I see aquamarine [07:02] beryl-core [07:02] beryl-manager [07:02] beryl-plugins [07:02] Lowkey_: what version of ubuntu do you run?

[07:02] I believe its 7.10 [07:02] I just installed it tonight [07:02] Hi guys. I have the compiz-fuzion-plugins-extra package installed. Compiz fusion wiki says that 3D windows is part of this package. How can I active it using CCSM? [07:02] from the Ubuntu website [07:02] kittykitty: i would say it would be easier to use ssh as a socks proxy by using the -D option [07:02] Lowkey_: then you don't need beryl -- read the above link for compiz [07:03] Lowkey_, its called "CCSM" [07:03] ok :D [07:03] CCSM? [07:03] kruqnut: yeah, sudo and >> don't play well together ...

I have updated packages but I am unable to get the sound (00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)) or Ethernet NIC (02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp.

[07:04] hmm.. [07:04] jamiefox, Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) can configure that [07:04] just setting up this box as a router from the wireless -> wired network, would be alot easier for the other people, so they don't have to do stupid "login" crap that they're to retarded to do anyways [07:05] !repos | booster__ [07:05] booster__: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [07:05] Hey guys, I installed Wine but it didn't create a ~/.wine/ folder. When I try to run an application with wine, it tells me it fails to create it. The folder is chomodded 777, any suggestions? I've tried reinstalling wine to no avail [07:05] ok i can have a look, i could change the desktop yesterday but its stopped working now, [07:05] ok it's at the bottom of the file now [07:05] kruqnut: another method is to use system->admin->network and add the host specification through the GUI [07:06] Can someone please point me to the right path? I have the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package installed. I would like to activate the 3D windows plug-in, which is part of the package [07:06] omnistegan: I think you need to run wineconfig or some such [07:06] now i shoudl try the "smbclient \\\\system\\share" command? [07:06] alright, time to try adding these settings again... [07:06] kruqnut: you could first try: smbclient -L \\\\system - to check that you can see its shares [07:06] kruqnut: ummm you can use / instead of \\, you do know that right? [07:07] nickrud: When I try to open the wine config it simply doesn't do anything, no error, when I tried it in a terminal it just brought me to the next line without doing anything [07:07] yea i know :P [07:07] winecfg [07:07] brb [07:07] kruqnut: yes, old habits die hard ;) [07:07] omnistegan: I don't even have wine installed. I just remember , did you see Gatton above? [07:08] nussa quanta gente [07:08] Gatton: same failure message as when I tried running an exe. fails to create the directory [07:08] i installed amsn and this irc thing this morning, i had wine installed with automatix [07:08] omnistegan, you ran winecfg and it still didn't create the .wine folder? [07:08] kittykitty: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111972 looks like the sort of thing you want [07:09] Need some help [07:09] Gatton: winecfg won't run, it says "creating config directory" and then "Segmentation fault" [07:10] ouch. wonder if the wine installation is borked somehow [07:10] omnistegan: did you install wine from apt? [07:10] Hi all,Need some help [07:10] !ask | oiboy [07:10] oiboy: 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. :-) [07:10] prince_jammys: yes [07:10] omnistegan: hmm that's disconcerting [07:11] so any wy [07:11] way [07:11] prince_jammys: I actually had a problem with another program creating a directory, I up having to create in manually for the program to work [07:11] hi all. I'm running gutsy on a lenovo Z61m. The laptop have bluetooth, but the OS doesn't seem to detect it. Worked with Feisty. any ideas? [07:12] omnistegan: did you change the permissions of your home dir perchance? [07:12] i still cant see how to get the second desktop working again,, [07:12] I'm a total newbie to Linux and made the "jump" Trying to install a .run package says must be run as root [07:12] ? [07:12] prince_jammys: only when I extended them when the problem started. [07:12] hello all [07:12] oiboy: run the command and sudo command.run it will prompt for password. [07:12] !sudo | oiboy [07:12] oiboy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [07:13] be careful about what you run as root! [07:13] i can only see the three choices of desktop effects. and theres no other settings, [07:13] Hmm, it's created a .wine folder now, somehow.... but when I run winecfg is responds with "Segmentation fault" and fails [07:14] omnistegan: gutsy, right? [07:14] what kernel modules am I likely to need for bluetooth? [07:14] prince_jammys: yes [07:14] i have bcm43xx installed, but when i run lsmod, i dont see it listed. is this a problem? [07:14] Hi all.Need help.I have two ubuntu boxes ,both 7.10 , physically 15 mtrs apart,both connected to Net through adsl modem,and we have wifi enabled in my laptops.Now i want to share files amongst them through wireless.i am pretty naive on this.Help. [07:14] i have never got bluetooth to work on any linux distro. [07:14] Can anyone tell me why I can mount a share from my Windows box to my Ubuntu box using smbfs but not cifs? [07:15] omnistegan: 64 bit? [07:15] prince_jammys: yes, thats correct [07:15] Hello [07:15] levander: I dont' think that windows can make the share available in anything other tham smbfs === co_friendly is now known as co_baik_hati_car [07:15] Hello [07:15] omnistegan: googling ... seems to be an issue there [07:16] ankitj: I know how to do that [07:16] Hello [07:16] How about I keep on saying hello [07:16] Hello is there an easy way to change the default ubuntu icon in the menu to something of my own liking, like the gnome foot for starters? [07:16] phix: Thanks in Aadvance [07:16] omnistegan: while you/we are figuring this out .. google "ubuntu gutsy wine create .wine segmentation fault" [07:16] does anyone know what kernel modules need to be installed for bluetooth? [07:16] hi phix [07:17] ankitj: does ubuntu pick your wireless cards up? can you see it in iwconfig or ifconfig? [07:17] Robbster: Okay, I thought cifs was backwards compatible with smbfs? [07:17] prince_jammys: yup, I'm already on it [07:17] jamiefox: yay! [07:17] some one actually answered me! [07:17] phix:yes [07:17] prince_jammys: you've helped me before! How do I change the default ubuntu icon in the menu bar to something else? [07:17] now lets try this agai, but instead of saying hello, I will ask my question I asked 5 minutes ago [07:17] and hopefully this time I get a response [07:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-220443.html can anybosy help me with this? [07:17] !patience | phix [07:17] phix: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:17] phix:in my office i connect to office wifi [07:17] phix i sometime find it easyier tp get answer on linix geeks group on my space than in these chats [07:18] nickrud: I relise that, you could of at least acknowledged my question :) at least [07:18] levander: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block [07:18] phix: this channel is busy enough without 40 people saying 'no freaking clue' [07:18] luisgmarine: i don't know of an easy way -- the icon is called "start-here". it's either a png or svg file somewhere in your icon theme [07:18] ankitj: OK GREAT [07:18] does exaile has any lastfm plugin? [07:18] phix:now.. [07:19] has anyone gotten their bcm43xx driver to work? [07:19] there is a ubuntu group on facebook,,join up [07:19] ankitj: ifconfig [07:19] ankitj: iwconfig [07:19] or the bcm4311 to be more specific [07:19] I hate face book [07:19] Robbster: That page says that CIFS came into being when Microsoft changed the name from SMB and added features. [07:19] decay: It's worked for years on my 4306es. I don't have a 4311 [07:19] luisgmarine: what icon theme do you use> [07:19] ok so my LAN and Sound isn't working, scroll up for lspci outputs [07:19] cafuego: =[ [07:20] decay: Do you have the firmware? [07:20] well phix it helps if you turn of all the dumb emails you get sent from there and you can chose to do that [07:20] !bcm43xx |decay: I use the 4311 , took about 5 minutes with this page. [07:20] decay: I use the 4311 , took about 5 minutes with this page.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [07:20] ankitj: ok so you want to share files between two Linux computers? or Windows boxes as well? [07:20] phix:what to look into that [07:20] prince_jammys: nuoveXT-1.6 [07:20] phix:right now btw ubuntu only.. [07:20] so I was wrong, but when you mount the share, you tell the client what File system to use. I don't think that CIFS is supported as a file system, although google will tell you for sure. [07:20] ankitj: can you see your wireless card in there :) [07:20] cafuego: yep [07:21] nickrud: what do you get when you type lspci? [07:21] luisgmarine: you know how to view hidden folders in your home dir? [07:21] phix:no [07:21] ankitj: ok well you can use SMB / CIFS, NFS, FTP, AFS, CODA, HTTP, etc. etc., what protocol would you like to use?? [07:21] prince_jammys: yes, going to do a search now for that start-here.* [07:21] phix:what is easy :) [07:21] ankitj: hmmm ok, that is a problem, what type of wireless card you ot? [07:21] ot = got [07:21] nickrud: says here i have BCM94311CG wkab [07:21] wlan [07:21] 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) Decadent [07:21] nickrud: same. but rev 02 [07:22] prince_jammys: nothing :\ [07:22] ankitj: personally I would use SMB / CIFS or NFS. Use SMB / CIFS if you want Windows computers to access it too [07:22] decay: but if you can keep cafuego interested, you got good help [07:22] nickrud: ill follow the page. thanks (althogh i think i already may have) [07:22] cafuego where have you been all my life [07:22] decay: On airplanes [07:22] phix:how do i find what card i use? [07:22] luisgmarine: it's probably inheriting the default one from gnome. is there a dir .icons/nouvext or something? [07:22] ankitj: sudo lspci [07:22] cafuego: likewise. wink next time we cross paths [07:22] prince_jammys: yes there is [07:23] * cafuego sinks back into his steaming kitchen [07:23] luisgmarine: if you copy an icon into the places folder of that dir and name it start-here, it will probably work [07:23] nickrud: i've tried this [07:23] ankitj: If Ubuntu didnt pick it up you may need to use the Windows XP drivers with ndiswrapper [07:23] luisgmarine: otherwise it uses the default [07:23] i'm having a problem with KDE apps [07:23] nickrud: the card's light on my laptop went from red to blue, but when i do iwconfig, the access point is 'invalid' [07:23] it started after the last update to KDE libs i think [07:23] decay: you might be one of those who need a later driver and kernel. A sec [07:23] prince_jammys: what places folder? [07:23] phix: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [07:24] luisgmarine: inside .icons/nuovext [07:24] phix:it works at office [07:24] luisgmarine: is there a places directory somewhere? [07:24] some of them, including amarok and konqueror, exit right when they start [07:24] * delcoyote mornin' [07:24] prince_jammys: yes the one I made under .icons/nouvext/gnome/scalable/places [07:24] but that one doesn't work [07:24] ankitj: oh so it works at the Office in linux? [07:25] luisgmarine: you made it? [07:25] phix:yes [07:25] prince_jammys: yes [07:25] ankitj: you are at home now? [07:25] prince_jammys: I ran into that idea when I was googling but that didn't help much [07:25] ankitj: trying to connect it to another Ubuntu box? [07:25] decay: are you sure about the chip info? I found only one russian page for what you gave me [07:25] * delcoyote buenos dias [07:25] yes [07:25] phix:yes [07:25] ankitj: ok, you have an AP at home? [07:25] ankitj: also, are both computers the same? [07:26] nickrud: one second. it's restarting [07:26] phix:no [07:26] ankitj: do both computers have the same wireless card? [07:26] ankitj: what is in the other one? [07:26] btw: i have to boot with 'noapic' [07:26] ankitj: can you see the wireless card using iwconfig? [07:26] phix:one is compaq nc8430 another is dell [07:26] luisgmarine: I don't see why the gnome developers don't make this much easier to fix, hopefully the guy developing Ubuntu Tweak will add this option to his todo list [07:26] luisgmarine: that won't work unless the dir is mentioned in the file index.desktop or index.theme. you know what, i don't even think it matters what dir you place the icon in -- just put it into one of the dirs that came with the icon set (filesystems, actions, apps ..) try one of those [07:26] decay: one warning: I know very little about wireless, about all I've spend is that 5 minutes [07:26] ankitj: ok, type in lspci on the other (the one you havnt used at the office) [07:26] or have you tested both at the office?

[07:28] <__mikem> Virtual machines are good, but nothing beats a real linux install [07:28] kruqnut: I realise this is painful for you having to switch back and forth ...

[07:28] kruqnut: did you substitute the windows system's name for "system"? [07:28] zero88: yes [07:29] zero88: plus the version of Mac OSX you want to install as the guest OS, it needs to be x86 [07:29] luisgmarine: once you've copied the icon, you have to restart the panel. you can do this with alt F2 and "killall gnome-panel" [07:29] not ppc [07:29] phix for type of OS i mean [07:29] phix oh [07:29] zero88: yes [07:29] prince_jammys: yeah I tried, with no avail === freeman4 is now known as freeman [07:29] nickrud: yes.

[07:30] zero88: so it is x86 based then [07:30] zero88: great [07:30] since osx isn't a versatile os and is only designed for a small set of hardware, it sucks as a vm [07:30] ankitj: hi [07:30] kruqnut: yes [07:30] phix:to make it appear in iwconfig [07:30] lol brb [07:31] ankitj: ok so did both of your laptops work in the office?

I downloaded the Ubuntu .deb from their site and when I clicked to install it said wrong architecture. Anyone know how to get it working on 64bit? [07:31] phix:what we dont know is how to connect to each other.. [07:31] ankitj: ok so you have an AP? [07:32] hey ppl [07:32] nickrud: but it's rev 02 [07:32] luisgmarine: try also copying it as " distributor-logo" [07:32] zero88: you'd need to setup partitions on a virtual disk first, and then install osx [07:32] I'm new to this [07:32] phix:what is an AP? [07:32] ankitj: Access point [07:32] nickrud: also when i do pccardctl ident, the physical ID for it says 0 [07:32] flowOver, oh, thats what that means. ok thanks [07:32] you also need a hacked install disc, not a real one. since a vm isn't official apple hardware [07:32] decay: I got the dell driver off their site, and used bcm43xx-fwcutter on that. [07:32] every other hardware has a number, this for this it says -0 [07:32] ankitj: you could setup ad-hoc mode (computer to computer) but using an AP is better :) [07:32] 0 [07:32] that's not so much illegal as it's against the user agreement [07:32] phix:i have a adsl modem [07:32] how do i enable 3d desktop with beryl ? [07:32] nickrud: you mean ndiswrapper [07:32] decay: it's a pci card, not a pc card [07:32] ? [07:33] flowOver, wht do you mean. now i have to tamper with my .iso? [07:33] ankitj: does your ADSL modem have wireles on it too? [07:33] ?uhm [07:33] zero88: if all you got is a real osx disc i wouldn't pursue it any further [07:33] phix:nn,i have wireless in my laptop only.. [07:33] nickrud: how did you use dell's drivers with fwcutter? [07:33] Decadent: no, fwcutter. It takes the firmware from the windows driver, and sticks into /lib/firmware so the bcm43xx driver can find it [07:33] dannyboy, wny not use compiz-fusion? [07:33] did you mean ndiswrapper? [07:33] flowOver, well a burned iso [07:33] ankitj: oh ok, so how are you going to connect to the other computer then if it doesn't have wireless? [07:34] you need a developer's iso that's been hacked [07:34] flowOver, how do you know about this? [07:34] the internets [07:34] nickrud: i meant 'lchw'. when i run that, it says the physical ID is 0 [07:34] Dr_willis: im using 7.04...plus i like beryl better for reason...

I guess.. read its docs and see how to start it. [07:35] prince_jammys: nope nothing [07:35] zero88: that's olllld style apple osx [07:35] it's a power arch emulator.. and sucks [07:35] woohoo i've moved onto the next error [07:35] flowOver, oh... so theres nothing out there? [07:35] ok so i did the smbclient -L ////BOXMAN [07:36] that returned fine [07:36] I cant get sound or LAN working on my laptop (ASUS F3S, 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev b0), 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03, Ubuntu 07.10, Kernel 2.6.22) [07:36] leopard would run at a snails pace on a g5 and you want to run it on an emulator ;) [07:36] decay: so does mine [07:36] ankitj: ok, so set one as an AP [07:36] zero88: ther's osx86 project [07:36] luisgmarine: hmm "distributor-logo" and "start-here" should work. i've done it myself (with extension .png or .svg, whatever it is. and the same size as your other icons) [07:36] nickrud: thanks. that made me feel better [07:36] kruqnu1: and display the share you are interested in? [07:36] phix:how do i do that? [07:36] but it's grey area with copyright issues [07:36] ankitj: iwconfig $WLAN_NAME mode master [07:36] ankitj: on one of them [07:36] ankitj: replace $WLAN_NAME with the name of your wireless interface [07:36] phix:ok [07:36] prince_jammys: when I changed the start-here it automatically changed the others too [07:37] ankitj: also you need to set a essid and a key [07:37] hello [07:37] ankitj: that will give you basic WEP [07:37] then i did smbclient -L ////BOXMAN//share [07:37] flowOver, cool thanks [07:37] what are all the .wav files in home directory for? [07:37] and i got this error: http://pastebin.com/d1632baf3 [07:37] kruqnu1: use / instead if \\ [07:37] well thats the results [07:37] luisgmarine: try logging back in [07:37] i did [07:37] and even if you get it running, osx is no good at running on any machine that it's not tuned for. this include virtual machines [07:37] phix:how do i find the name of my wireless interface? [07:37] ankitj: iwconfig [07:37] Dr_willis: well theres video of beryl and a matrix theme running with beryl so i wanna know how to enable the 3d desktop [07:37] so, I have an external hard drive, but when I plug it in, I can't see it. I can't even see the entry in /media/ === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [07:38] nickrud: which version and bit of buntu are you running? [07:38] hi there [07:38] can someone plz help [07:38] ankitj: it will tell you that one of the cards in your computer has wireless support [07:38] decay: 7.10 [07:38] flowOver, true i just want to get it up and running at least . i didnt want to get the iso for nuthin [07:38] decay: 64bit also [07:38] it doesnt says so [07:38] which laptop? [07:38] it says [07:38] I checked in synaptic to see which version of gnome my ubuntu is using but gnome isn't installed - lots of gnome apps but not gnome? [07:38] that iso probably won't help you [07:38] decay: gateway 6541 [07:38] eth0 no wireless extensions. [07:39] unless you've got a macbook or some official hardware, then you can install it natively [07:39] dannyboy, beryl became merged into compiz fusion, theres no need to bother with beryl any more [07:39] or 6451 , i can never keep the numbers straight [07:39] phix:eth0 no wireless extensions. [07:39] flowOver, why wont it [07:39] dannyboy, install compiz fusion if you want the fancy 3d desktop [07:39] ok so it isn't eth0 then [07:39] kruqnu1: looks like you need to give it a valid username and password just to see what shares are available - what is the share name you are interested in? [07:39] flowOver, wats the purpose of emulators than [07:39] ankitj: what other interfaces you got there? [07:39] nickrud: you think if i tried the dell drivers, it would work? (since its the same wireless card) [07:39] I upgrade for hardy and so I get a wlan0_rename instead of the good interface name [07:39] Dr_willis how do i install it? [07:39] phix:i think it is eth1 then.. [07:39] a virtual machine isn't an emulator, and a ppc emulator isn't exactly a good solution [07:39] ere4si: the package ubuntu-desktop is gnome [07:39] and so i' ve change the udev rules and the modules loaded [07:39] theres one just named C [07:39] !compiz | dannyboy [07:39] dannyboy: 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 [07:39] it accepted my anonymous login tho [07:40] prince_jammys, thnx [07:40] flowOver, true [07:40] phix:it says eth1 Mode:Managed Frequency=nan kHz Access Point: Not-Associated [07:40] decay: most likely. I'd suggest going to your manufacturer's site, and getting the wireless driver there [07:40] and i get back the good name, but ii have also the master device listed by both iwconfgig and ifconfig [07:40] ankitj: yep, it is eth1 [07:40] ankitj: ok type the command in I told you before [07:40] phix :coolness [07:40] apple also locks out installs on anything other than officially identified hardware [07:40] phix:so both have the it as eth1 [07:40] ere4si: also "about gnome" in your menu should say the version [07:40] phix:ok [07:41] Can we talking aboth ubuntu ? [07:41] kruqnu1: accepted, but didn't display anything, the command needs to be: smbclient //boxman/c - but you will need to add a username option too [07:41] so that is not the main problem but, i get in trouble trying to use aircrack [07:41] prince_jammys, excellent :) [07:41] ankitj: then type in iwconfig eth1 essid YourWirelessName and then iwconfig eth1 key s:ThisIsAGayKey or something with 13 ASCII characters :) [07:41] well i need to access the D drive actually, its shared as (D) Data(at least as i can see from windows) [07:41] nickrud: i still don't understand why you needed dell's driver though. I'm reading the link you sent me, doesnt mention anything [07:41] but windows doesn't have any usernames or passwords setup currently [07:41] ankitj: only one of your laptops is set the mode master, the other one you leave it on the default mode (which is managed) [07:41] hey ppl [07:41] u think i need to set some up? [07:41] decay: I knew it was a dell card I had in this machine [07:42] phix:it says Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : [07:42] SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. [07:42] so is there a way to get the wirelesse device correctly linked or not yet ? [07:42] what's a good desktop manager other than the one that comes with ubuntu ? [07:42] nickrud: it may be a dell card but the chipset is made by someone else. look for the model of chipset it uses [07:42] nickrud: but i mean, it's not needed. we need the fwcutter. if we were using ndiswrapper, then yes, wed need the manufacturer's driver. or maybe im just too lost [07:42] kruqnu1: did you create the share as read/write? [07:43] yes [07:43] it has full permissions [07:43] Hoarde: KDE and gnome are the most popular, but there's others. to install kde, do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:43] flowOver: I'm talking about something that worked here. I knew the chipset and the manufacturer, so I got that manufacturer's driver. I'm suggesting that decay get the driver from the manufacturer of his laptop [07:43] kruqnu1: was there an option for anyone to access it (don't have a windows machine handy right now)? [07:43] !desktop | Hoarde [07:43] Hoarde: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [07:44] nickrud: once you downloaded the driver, how did you use it on linux? [07:44] kruqnu1: then try: smbclient //boxman/d [07:44] !hi [07:44] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:44] phix:it says Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. [07:45] decay: sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -l , made sure the driver version was supported. Then bcm43xx-fwcutter .inf iirc [07:45] prince_jammys: Yeah... I had issues with turning eye candy on where I would lose my top menu bar things... This isnt a strong machine (1800XP+ with GF440MX) but I'd like to have *some* eye candy. [07:45] !ubotu will you marry me? [07:46] e17! :D [07:46] Hoarde: if you want to keep it very light, there's xfce (xubuntu-desktop). to keep it ultra-light, there's fluxbox (which is pretty cool looking, but not that easy to configure) [07:46] nickrud: .inf being dell's window's inf file, right? [07:46] Hi, ho do i upgrade to Hardy? [07:46] ok [07:47] reppel: from? [07:47] reppel: try #ubuntu+1 [07:47] when booting, how do I get rid of the splash screen? [07:47] livecd [07:47] I thought xubuntu was another linux thing? do I need to wipe and reinstall it? [07:47] decay: after I extracted the driver, what I ended up with was all of the *.fw files in the DRIVER subdir of the extracted driver in /lib/firmware. But you need to be sure you get the right driver, so you get the right firmware [07:47] that channel knows more about hardy [07:47] like installing Win98 over winxp ? [07:47] when will 8.04 be out when we talk about upgrading :D [07:48] Hoarde: you don't need to uninstall anything to try the other desktops. you just install them, and select which you want from the login screen (under "sessions") [07:48] april? [07:48] frold: I think it is 24/4 [07:48] frold: when?#ubuntu+1 [07:48] will I break any laws if I install Windows 98 in virtual machine? [07:48] pirated [07:48] yea i had permission set for everyone, with full control [07:48] Hoarde: you can do it without any commitment [07:48] we'd make you walk the plank? [07:48] i added "ANONYMOUS LOGON" maybe that will help [07:49] Hoarde: linux style :) [07:49] nickrud: i'm confused. lol. would you mind guiding me? i believe i have most of it set up here [07:49] SatMan: if it's pirated, you broke the law by obtaining the pirated copy. [07:49] SatMan: possession of 98 pirated is illegal [07:49] ill be back to try again [07:49] brb [07:49] kruqnu1: what version of windows? [07:49] SatMan: but most will turn a blind eye to that [07:49] okay greenmanwitch [07:49] oh [07:49] kruqnu1: ok [07:49] xp pro [07:49] does exaile has any lastfm plugin? [07:49] prince_jammys: kay... I'm in add/remove applications and I cant find a search for xubuntu ? [07:49] not in canada you didn't break any laws [07:49] phix:it gives error; invalid argument [07:49] ;) :D [07:49] how can I purchase windows 98/ME (any cheapest windows version)> [07:49] killown: #exaile, yes [07:49] they don't sell it anymore [07:50] you're only allowed ot buy one of the $300 versions [07:50] Hoarde: mmmm. search using Synaptic instead, or just type::: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop in a terminal [07:50] is there a way to encrypt the content of a virtual machine? =) [07:51] 208 meg [07:51] lol [07:51] How do I get out of the splash screen when booting ubuntu? [07:51] Hoarde: "add/remove" is not as comprehensive as Synaptic (or apt-get) [07:51] prince_jammys: To be honest... I dont know what that means... I just look at the button that says "Add/Remove" and there's a whole lot of stuff that isnt ticked [07:51] which is $300 now? [07:52] Good pm everyone [07:52] decay: looking at some stuff, refreshing my memory [07:52] hello [07:53] decay: do you have bcm43xx-fwcutter installed? [07:53] Hoarde: add/remove is one way of installing software, but it doesn't have all the packages available. there's another app called "synaptic" in your System->Administration menu [07:53] nickrud: yes. (on the link you sent me, i did the top part, i plugged in an ethernet cord and installed the restricted driver, aka fwcutter) [07:54] style ubuntu ? [07:54] greenmanwitch: you were right according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule [07:54] SatMan: that was only a stab at microsofts pricing scheme. [07:54] most of the os's they sell are > $300 [07:54] back [07:54] frold: wow, and I don't even use ubuntu. What's the point of wikipedia when there is me? :D [07:54] Hoarde: another way is from the command line. the way you would do it is to go Applications->Terminal and on the prompt type::: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop hit enter, type your password, and it will install [07:54] decay: ok, we're gonna do the server version. But first, lsmod | grep ndiswrapper , make sure it's not running [07:55] ankitj: hmmmm, set to adhoc mode then [07:55] phix:ok [07:55] yeah I did the terminal one [07:55] I guess greenmanwitch is a wikipedia bot.... [07:55] ankitj: set adhoc on both [07:55] umm ive got a strange problem [07:55] the outside of my windows are gone :S [07:56] frold: hehehe [07:56] nickrud: typed that, nothing happened [07:56] phix:doing [07:56] Hoarde: once, that's done, you can log out and on the login screen click on "session" and change it to "xubuntu" or "xfce" and you'll login with the xubuntu desktop [07:56] GiddyKong: i suppose you installed compiz? [07:56] decay: good. lsmod | grep bcm [07:56] ankitj: which computer is connected to the ADSL modem? [07:56] umm yeah [07:56] quick assumption: you removed decorations [07:56] GiddyKong: alt-f2, type emerald --replace [07:56] whats the best archive extractor for Rar for ubuntu? [07:56] prince_jammys: why is it called "Sessions" ? [07:56] thanks :D [07:56] oh... done...

[10:01] unformat ? [10:02] You expect the pc company to take a machine and try to 'unformat' the hd to prove you had linux on it?

I'm having problems with my ubuntu 7.10 server. I've got an ftp server and teamspeak server running on it, but noone can connect. I've tried opening the ports in iptables, but that did not help. I can connect from within my LAN. Also the computer was running ftp and ts server before on windows os, but I guess upnp may have managed the forwarding of ports on my modem/router. Is there a UPnP module for linux/ubuntu? [10:31] np invitado [10:32] Tachdelan [10:32] Tachdelan: upnp is a security desaster, so you may prefer to make manual port forwards :) [10:32] Tachdelan: your behind a router right? [10:33] On a new Ubuntu install I'm looking to keep /home on a seperate partition, is 10GB enough for /? or should I go with 15? [10:33] Tachdelan: are the ports forwarded on teh router? [10:33] andi5: ok. [10:33] voltxion: yes [10:33] tyler-wylie: Depends what you depend on doing I guess [10:33] tyler-wylie, 10 will be plenty [10:33] tyler-wylie: do you plan to keep /var and /usr on the same partition as /? [10:33] andi5: yes [10:34] tyler-wylie: 10 would not suffice for me :) [10:34] hmm [10:34] invitado could you find a way to d/l the entire copy? [10:34] I guess I'll go with 15 [10:34] tyler-wylie: Just depends on what YOU intend to install [10:34] Hey all. Anyone know how to find out which display mgr is being used with X? (xdm, gdm, kdm, etc) [10:35] What are you using the system for? Will you be gaming? hosting web stuff?

[10:35] tyler-wylie: i guess the biggest variable here is the size of /var, because its growth depends on your usage patterns :) [10:35] wined_lips, why do you need beryl? its been replaced by compiz-fusion [10:35] !beryl | wined_lips [10:35] wined_lips: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [10:35] andi5: yea I should be fine with 15 I think [10:36] andi5: I can always grow/shrink if needed.

This is a feature on the router and I assumed that this is the same as DMZ. [10:36] tyler-wylie: if you can affort those 5 gigs, then i would say: do it :-D [10:36] wined_lips: compiz comes with 7.10 [10:36] Anyone *not* use default wm that comes w/ Ubuntu? [10:36] s,affort,afford, [10:36] wined_lips: you just have to turn desktop effects on [10:36] Ok thnx.. [10:36] SeanInSeattle: not gnome you mean? [10:37] Yes. [10:37] and do you guys usually put swap at the end or beginning of your hard drive(I do not count on needing it with 4GB of RAM) [10:37] SeanInSeattle: or rather metacity? [10:37] SeanInSeattle: if you're using kde or xfce you should probably ask in #kubuntu or #xubuntu [10:37] andi5: i'm trying to switch wm to icewm [10:37] tyler-wylie: you definitely need it, at least a few megs... there is some technical discussion about that in the net [10:37] I've got ubuntu 64bit installed [10:37] w/ gnome === xipietotec_ is now known as xipietotec [10:37] how can I figure out what type of memory I have in my PC, without opening it, in ubuntu...

[10:38] tyler-wylie: does that matter? [10:38] i always put swap at the end. on all my hd's :) every hd gets a little-bit-o-swap :) [10:38] andi5: swap is usually faster at the front, but if I don't need it or don't plan on swapping it might be better at the end [10:38] alright end it is [10:38] just in case i boot a system with a livecd - it has some swap to find/use. Even if its a windows box. [10:38] * Lycus hugs his 64bit linux install [10:39] a [10:39] I'd love some tips as to things I can check... I'm pretty new to linux you see...

[10:39] Lycus: 64 bit ftw === realmer is now known as realmerx [10:39] I feel you Lycus [10:39] tyler-wylie: swap is slow anyway... be orders of magnitude slower than ram, and you will notice that instantly :) [10:39] even got youtube working =x [10:39] how did you do that Lycus? [10:39] andi5: yes, and I don't plan on swapping at all [10:40] Strawberryjam: err, dunno, using hardy, installed both gnash and flash player non-free [10:40] and it works in firefox [10:40] * Lycus shrugs [10:40] How would I add a choice to my Grub loader to make my windows install be there. [10:40] oh ok...guess have to wait then [10:40] DJViper: How to switch to diff windows mgr (icewm) ?? [10:40] SeanInSeattle: check forums [10:41] voltxion, the installer should add one allready. [10:41] voltxion, or you can edit the menu.lst to add one. [10:41] SeanInSeattle: install the necessary packages, then choose the session in the gdm (login screen) [10:41] andi5: Thanks!@ [10:41] voltxion: you'll need to know the partition it's on if it didn't automatically detect it (which it should have) [10:42] Dr_willis: I installed Ubuntu onto a seperate HD(IDE) and my windows is on a Sata HD and didnt find it. [10:42] will update-grub find newly installed windowses? i guess no, right? what about dpkg-reconfigure ? [10:42] Lycus: how would I find that information out? [10:42] Can anyone give me som pointers as to where my server might be blocking external connections(i.e. from outside my LAN)? [10:42] voltxion: type sudo fdisk -l [10:42] voltxion, odd. it found it here. i got ide+sata [10:43] how can I figure out what type of memory I have in my PC, without opening it, in ubuntu... [10:43] it should list it [10:43] Tachdelan: what do you mean by "where"? [10:43] update-grub does not rescan and add new/other OS's as far as ive seen [10:43] hello [10:43] do i need hplip and hpijs if i dont have any hp printers? [10:43] If windows is on hda1 theres an example grub entry in the menu.lst for windows. [10:43] andi5: configs and whatnot... or commands to see what connections are allowed [10:44] andi5: iptables should be ok though [10:44] Tachdelan: by default i suppose your router only passes segments which belong to a connection started from inside .... have you tried to telnet or firefox the routers ip? [10:45] Lycus: Ok, it listed it /dev/sda1, now how would I add that to grub? [10:45] do i need hplip and hpijs if i dont have any hp printers? [10:45] tyler-wylie, I've been using feisty for nearly a year and have 2.4G on the root partition with a seperate /home - if that helps [10:45] ere4si: nice [10:46] tyler-wylie, so I thought that 10G would be plenty... [10:46] ere4si: on my gentoo install usually just keep /, /usr/portage, and /home on seperate partitions and it keeps things clean, fedora do just / and /home, same with ubuntu and opensuse [10:46] andi5: I am unsure what you mean... I can connect to my router (using it's web interface) using it's LAN ip, but it does not have an WAN ip as it is forwarded to the server. [10:47] DjViper: with decode-dimms from ic2-tools [10:47] tyler-wylie, that way the / partition doesn't have to be huge at all :) [10:47] voltxion: hmm one sec [10:47] Lycus: np, Im very grateful for the help. [10:48] Tachdelan: you mean you can not connect to outside sites or others can not connect your servers? [10:48] Tachdelan: i am sorry? your router's wan ip should be the same you see when you contact www.whatismyip.com... what do you mean by "forwarded _to_ the server"? port forwarding means to me: forward incoming segments to the router with port $port to a configured internal ip $mygaminghost [10:49] hi all [10:49] hi [10:49] new to ubuntu [10:49] realmerx: others can't connect to my server [10:49] seems gr8 [10:49] I was just trying to netinstall Hardy for amd64.

[10:49] ubuntu takes ages to boot if I have freebsd installed [10:49] ere4si: huh? :) inkscape may help [10:49] voltxion: Not entirely sure here, so CAN SOMEONE ELSE VERIFY, but I think you'd add these lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:49] http://pastebin.org/22052 [10:50] assuming it's sda1 [10:50] andi5, thnx [10:50] hey [10:50] david__, thunderbird [10:50] I've installed ubuntu as dual boot with XP and the install went fine. But when I try and boot into XP i get the Windows logo then BSOD ! [10:50] you may have to tinker with it [10:50] andi5: My router(which is my dsl modem) "gives" the wan ip to the server(I did this intentionally). [10:50] what package contains the kde ? [10:50] !kde | clusty [10:50] clusty: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [10:50] how do i navigate to my dekstop in terminal please? :P thnx ^_^ [10:50] clusty, i install kubuntu-desktop for the full kde system [10:50] lycus: Thank you, I will mess around with it. [10:50] KojiroS, its the Desktop directory. [10:50] andi5: So when I check the ip on the server it prints the WAN ip and not a LAN ip [10:51] thanks a lot [10:51] Tachdelan: does that mean that you forward every port to your internal server? [10:51] voltxion: I had to go through hell this evening getting my triple boot to work [10:51] OS X/Ubuntu/XP [10:51] does anyone have any suggestions? [10:51] whats the command in terminal for that?] [10:51] it was OS X's fault tho =x [10:51] KojiroS: cd ~/Desktop [10:51] andi5: thnx :) === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [10:51] darren__: Safe mode? [10:51] Lycus: heh, I attempted that on my Macbook pro... never again will I dual boot that god forsaken thing. [10:52] tried that as well. Still get the BSOD [10:52] andi5: I am unsure of that, so I added a separate forwarding for the ports I needed. [10:52] andi5: It didn't help though [10:52] voltxion: Just run VMWare. ^_^ [10:52] XP starts to load then BSOD for around 1/2 second then back to boot menu [10:52] Tachdelan: what kind of server is it? [10:53] andi5: So I am wondering if there is something in the default configuration or ubuntu server that blocks incoming connections from WAN ips [10:53] Tachdelan: well... fire up wireshark (or tcpdump) and check whether anything comes in at your port... or check whether your application is listening on the correct device and port (netstat -tlnp) [10:53] Lycus: heh, too poor... [10:53] Tachdelan: for example ftp server forwarding is not that simple [10:53] Tachdelan: try http server first [10:53] voltxion: you have a macbook pro and you are too poor? o_o [10:53] did you win it in a contest or something? [10:53] Tachdelan: or even better ssh first [10:53] realmerx: I'm running ubuntu 7.10 server with a 3rd party ftp and a teamspeak server [10:54] Tachdelan: does ssh connections to your box from outside work? [10:54] realmerx: no [10:54] Lycus: my college gave it to me included in tuition [10:54] Tachdelan: by default i think ubuntu's firewall rules are rather... lax :) [10:54] Tachdelan: you are behind NAT? [10:54] voltxion: ahh [10:54] Tachdelan: so your box can ping your router? [10:55] Tachdelan: and itables rules are all ALLOW? [10:55] Tachdelan: (sudo iptables -L) [10:56] ok... just to clarify a few things... I'm currently not sitting at the server, but at my other computer. Both are connected to the same router, but this one has a LAN ip while the server has the WAN ip [10:56] iptables are all ALLOW [10:56] Tachdelan: even better do /etc/init.d/iptables stop to be sure [10:56] Tachdelan: but your server has only one network device connected to the router, right? [10:57] andi5: yes [10:57] any tips anyone? [10:57] -bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory [10:58] Tachdelan: "has the wan ip" ... i am sorry, that does not sound correct... when you execute "ifconfig" on your server, i suppose you will not see any wan ip [10:58] I do [10:59] though I will not post it here for security reasons... [10:59] inet addr: 88.*.*.* [11:00] Tachdelan: so does your server sit in the same ip network as your pc? [11:00] which is the same as if I checked www.whatsmyip.org from _this_ computer which has ip: 10.0.0.1 [11:00] Tachdelan: you mean your server has an ip that should be directly accessible from internet? [11:00] hiya [11:00] andi5: yes [11:00] realmerx: yes [11:00] why cannot i apt-get install skype [11:00] Tachdelan: can you ping your server from your pc? [11:00] I was reading the chapter about mounting partitions in http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/ but... I cant mount my new hard disk. Somebody knows another link about this? [11:00] Tachdelan: can you reach your router ip from internet? [11:00] Im trying to install nfs with apt but no luck, can someone please take a look on it http://pastebin.com/m1b7ee9b6 [11:01] Tachdelan: ping [11:01] the modem/router should in fact be working as in bridged mode as far as the server is concerned [11:01] andi5 & realmerx: I can ssh, connect to ftp and teamspeak from this computer without problems. [11:01] why cannot i apt-get install skype，it said cannot find it [11:02] Tachdelan: no I mean can you ping your router ip from outside your network [11:02] ping works fine too [11:02] realmerx: your router WAN ip that is [11:03] realmerx: Talking to yourself now? [11:03] why cannot i apt-get install skype，it said cannot find it [11:03] hello, i have just installed ubuntu on my windows xp pc and have a grub error 22 error. I have followed the the guide for error 22 from the ubuntu forums. The thing is i have ubuntu on partition hd1,6 but i boot from hd0...and the find command in grub dont find those files.. [11:03] why cannot i apt-get install skype，it said cannot find it [11:03] . [11:03] realmerx: But, yes! I can't be sure whether it is the modem/router or the server responding. [11:04] icesword, we saw you the first time [11:04] icesword, sudo apt-get update [11:04] jamesrdorn, ?? [11:04] jamesrdorn, thx for attention,it seems it is repo issue [11:04] realmerx: I am, however, using a no-ip hostname to connect. [11:04] icesword, it's very early for everyone this morning [11:05] since it has no static LAN ip [11:05] icesword, 5am CST [11:05] Trondern, you google grub load error 22 === Bosan is now known as aLien [11:05] jamesrdorn, thx for your time [11:05] yes, but none of the solutions i get works..thats why i am here..:) [11:05] 1105 zulu [11:05] Tachdelan: sorry maybe it is a language problem :) === aLien is now known as aLine [11:05] Tachdelan: but I am little confused [11:06] realmerx: could be [11:06] i haqve tried the google thing first ofc === aLine is now known as aLien [11:06] hi [11:06] Trondern, if you have livecd ,why not reinstall [11:06] Tachdelan: your router should have WAN ip different from your server ip [11:06] i have tried that too icesword [11:06] realmerx: Well... it hasn't [11:06] Trondern, ok,wait a min [11:06] realmerx: i lost my connection.. what did you say, could you repeat once for me? :) [11:07] realmerx: I know it's strange, but that's the way it is [11:07] join #ubuntu-de [11:07] felix: prepend a slash and you are right there :) [11:07] as I understand Tachdelan has router that has wan ip [11:07] the real question is ..how do i access grub files on a partition that is not mounted by the live cd and thu is not found by find in grub.. [11:08] now his server machine has also WAN ip [11:08] Trondern: normally grub will mount block devices once you try to access them within grub [11:08] realmerx: My router is by all purposes NO WAN ip and is inaccessible from outside this LAN [11:08] also he is sitting behind different machine that is connected to the router but is in NAT-ed network [11:08] is=has [11:08] Trondern: well, interpret them for itself [11:09] which is a good command line mail client to be used to automate some email processing [11:09] i mean i wanna use commands of this mail client and then write shell scripts [11:09] andi6: i have tried to root that partition but get error when doing the setup command [11:09] Trondern, what about fdisk /mbr [11:10] so router has two networks routed - NAT-ed internal network (where the machine he is sitting behind is) and WAN network where his router and server machines are [11:10] hmm, i can try that [11:10] or am I confused? [11:10] I am trying to make virtual users work with vsftpd and pam, but for some reason, my db with the virtual users is ignored. Local system users *are* allowed login, but the virtual users are not. My /etc/vsftpd.conf is here : http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1077.html, I /etc/pam.d/ftp a symbolic link to /etc/vsftpd.pam, which can be seen here: http://thomasdamgaard.dk/paste/P1078.html. [11:10] i have not tried that yet [11:10] realmerx: that is what i thought as well, but it seems to me that Tachdelan did some bridging tricks [11:10] Trondern, then your linux won't boot [11:10] Is there an Ubuntu Server IRC channel? [11:11] doh...well the goal is to have grub loading so i can have both ofc [11:11] what kind of "bridging tricks"? [11:11] realmerx: I don't think the router is routing anything as long as the server is concerned other when connecting from this computer [11:12] I could give you the ip in pm if you wanna ping... [11:12] well time to test to see if my Grub changes worked... [11:13] i have tried to mount the windows partition and itworks but the guide to access grub on a disk not found at first fail after that step since the guide assumes the lost partition are a linux partition.. [11:13] Tachdelan: you can connect internet behind your NAT-ed network right? [11:13] Tachdelan: then it is routing === andi6 is now known as andi5|ill [11:13] Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device <--- it what I used on the router/modem [11:14] Tachdelan: ever thought about unsetting that one and instead use a few specific port forwarding rules? [11:14] realmerx: I can connect from this computer which has LAN ip, and I can download with the server from http (to get packages or something) === andi5|ill is now known as andi6 [11:15] Does anyone have the time to help me set up vsftpd with virtual users? [11:15] is there an easy way to port .dmg? anyone? [11:15] I am trying to make virtual users work with vsftpd and pam, but for some reason, my db with the virtual users is ignored. Local system users *are* allowed login, but the virtual users are not.

[11:15] hello [11:16] Terrasqu1: are you behind LAN? [11:16] juice_, no. [11:16] tolecnal: are you behind a NAT [11:16] andi6: I have, but I would prefer not to since port forwarding is tricky for ftp [11:16] juice_, use Ubuntu .deb packages. [11:16] Tachdelan: to clarify once more your - the machine you are sitting right now - what ip it gives when you do ifconfig [11:16] is there something for Ubuntu like Rollback Rx/AyRecovery/Roxio GoBack/Norton GoBack for windows? [11:16] and I believe that the issue is within the server setup [11:16] tolecnal: if your ubuntu has a non routable private IP it's the only way [11:16] hi [11:16] Tachdelan: it isn't [11:16] is the anybody from chicago? [11:17] hello everybody [11:17] realmerx: I'm sitting on my gaming computer running vista and has ip: 10.0.0.1 [11:17] ;) [11:17] Tachdelan: and your ubuntu has what IP? [11:17] leave [11:17] erawfish_: the wan ip [11:17] hi [11:17] boc [11:17] how [11:17] I've a problem with ubuntu [11:17] Tachdelan: and it does ipmasq for you? [11:17] Tachdelan: and that vista machine is connected directly to router? [11:17] Tachdelan: i am no expert, but is not it enough for passive ftp to forward port 21? [11:18] andi6: not enough by far [11:18] erawfish_: I do not know what ipmasq is [11:18] realmerx: yes [11:18] ipmasquerade [11:18] Tachdelan: run "/sbin/ifconfig" on the ubuntu machine. what IP(s)? [11:18] andi6: the ftp is not on port 21 [11:18] Tachdelan: what ip you get when you access whatismyipaddress.com from vista machine [11:18] erawfish_: why not? [11:19] erawfish_: I'm not displaying my wan ip in a public channel [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] http://silver-reality.uv.ro/ [11:19] How to unmount a partition which is mounted in /var ?

[11:21] ok i just installed open arena...and for some reason i cant get any servers to load when i choose multi player [11:22] Tachdelan: it requires a login/pass still when the IP is known. what you do is security by obscurity and you should know that is futile and never ever works [11:22] andi6: router forwarding doesn't negate that [11:22] Tachdelan: and you have no proxies active? [11:22] Tachdelan: you can get a vhost on freenode. [11:22] realmerx: no [11:22] void^: ok [11:22] i've a problem with my ubuntu startup: if i start normally the system stops in a blackscree, instead if i press ctrl+shift+f1 the system starts normally [11:23] pietro: what X drivers and viodecard? [11:23] Tachdelan: you would profit from the router's firewalling rules and forward only ports you know "secure" servers are listening on [11:23] Can we please stop bickering about the security of my server and resume the solving of my problem? [11:23] Tachdelan: either you can answer our questions or we cannot help you you don#t want to answer them: solve your own problems. goodbye and goodluck [11:23] noone can connect to my server from WAN ips atm anyway [11:23] Tachdelan: you simply waste our time [11:24] Tachdelan: so somehow your server and router are sharing the same ip? [11:24] erawfish_: Which questions have I not answered? [11:24] erawish: i've no idea [11:24] erawish:how can i see them [11:25] realmerx: In a way yes. However, this worked beautifully when running XP with ftp and ts server [11:25] realmerx: but as I stated earlier that could be upnp [11:25] Tachdelan: i am sorry, i would not call it beautiful, but a nasty hack at best, sorry [11:25] Tachdelan: the problem is that I do not understand how your network works ant all :) [11:25] *at [11:25] realmerx: cause he doesn't tell [11:25] apparently i need OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings to play 3D chess. can someone point me? [11:26] erawfish_: Which questions have I not answered? [11:26] about your IPs, about NAT, etc [11:26] Tachdelan: wait a moment :) [11:26] as void^ stated, you can see my public ip by doing whois [11:26] Tachdelan: mayge I got you wrong - your server machine - what it shows when you ifconfig it?

Version 3.0.0~a6-4ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 397 kB, installed size 4536 kB [11:27] Tachdelan: maybe you should also try to dig a little deeper and see whether you can telnet your router and issue iptables and route commands there [11:27] realmerx: inet addr:88.90.227.78 [11:27] erawfish_: i've no idea how to find what you asked me before [11:27] Tachdelan: I don't care about your public IP. I want the local IPs of your ubuntu [11:27] pietro: lspci, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.~ [11:28] Tachdelan: is it the same address that you get when you whatismyipaddress.com from your server machine and your local machine? [11:28] erawfish_: s,do not care,knew that already, ;-) [11:28] erawfish_: that IS the ONLY ip on my ubuntu other than the loopback [11:28] realmerx: yes === vix|away is now known as vix85 === mohadib__ is now known as mohadib [11:28] Tachdelan: how do you do NAT? [11:29] Tachdelan: do yourself a favor, deactivate upnp, put your server into the natted net and forward the necessary ports.... that is my last statement :) [11:29] Tachdelan: outpuit of /sbin/iptables -L [11:29] ciao [11:29] andi6: his ubuntu seems to act as NAT router.

[11:33] Tachdelan: your iptables makes not much sense [11:33] Eds, you dont need one to mount iso image files. [11:33] erawfish_: Ok. What's wrong?

[11:36] Thats fine. Iv got my laptop running hardy and my second work machine running 7.10 atm, try to see if I like the OS. Its very nice so far :) [11:36] no prblem ;) [11:36] hey guys...in pigdin...when logged on to AIM i cant send any files to my friend...but i can recieve...any help? [11:37] i have the same problem in icq and msn [11:37] dont know what to do^^ [11:37] firewall problem perhaps? [11:37] Tachdelan: actually I am curious now, how can it be possible that two boxes have the same WAN ip address? [11:38] where can i edit my firewall setiings? [11:38] realmerx: they don't? ;) [11:39] realmerx: Actually, I think you just solved my problem! [11:39] Tachdelan: well if you say that your server box is connected to your router and has the same ip as your router has? [11:39] and andi6 that is [11:39] huh? ... i am sorry for that ;-) [11:39] I installed VirtualBox on ubuntu and put in Windows in the VM. Everything was working fine, I could access internet inside on windows in my VM. Just suddenly the internet has stopped working in it ? [11:40] anyone can help me please? [11:41] realmerx & andi6: I think it may have to do with the fact that my router is using upnp and the server using the routers WAN ip. Upon connecting from this computer to the server, could it be that the router redirects incoming connections to this computer and not the server? [11:41] any idea why my install just won't boot now? I changed my grub, well added to it but grub loaded fine. [11:41] If you have a router your server cant use the WAN IP, it would have ports fowarded too it [11:42] Tachdelan: yeah but I do not understand how your server machine can access internet from [11:42] neither do I [11:42] i'm using ndiswrapper for my wireless access; how do i temporarily shutdown ndis and up the native patched driver? [11:42] how do i delete an every occurance of a file in a directory and sub dirs? [11:42] Tachdelan: that is dangerous, i hope you know that... :-) [11:43] Tachdelan: if it has only external ip address? [11:43] how do i delete an every occurance of a file in the current directory and sub dirs? [11:43] but I guess I'll try switching to "normal" mode and give the router back it's WAN ip [11:43] thirdy; rm -r /directory [11:43] i wan't do inject packets; with ndis it's not possible... [11:43] hey guys...in pigdin...when logged on to AIM i cant send any files to my friend...but i can recieve...any help? [11:43] andi6: what is? [11:43] thirdy: a file can appear only once in a given directory... [11:43] Tachdelan: I would like to know about that technology that makes that happen, sounds interesting :) [11:43] realmerx: hehehe [11:43] zoidberg_: try asking in #pidgin. They might know more about it [11:43] any idea why my install just won't boot now? I changed my grub, well added to it but grub loaded fine. [11:44] http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=-Gs8sYe4uqM [11:44] hmm does ifconfig shows WAP addresses as well? [11:44] realmerx: WAP? [11:44] LoLLo: is there a support question attached to that? [11:44] Tachdelan: well, sounds like 'inverse security by obscurity' : you do not know what sorts of stuff your router activated for you and the bots outside :-) ... [silent again] [11:45] andi6, I want to do "del .*exe /s" command in windows, this command deletes every .exe in the current dir and sub dirs, how do I do this in linux? [11:45] Tachdelan: sorry scratch that :p [11:45] hello baaaaz! uhm ... no :P [11:45] Eds, I want to do "del .*exe /s" command in windows, this command deletes every .exe in the current dir and sub dirs, how do I do this in linux? [11:45] andi6: well... seeing how noone can actually connect to my server, well... [11:45] Tachdelan: I meant does it show WIFI interface addresses [11:45] LoLLo: then best post it in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks ;] [11:45] anyone ? [11:45] thirdy: find . -name '*.exe' -exec echo rm {} \; .... if you feel comfortable, remove the echo [11:45] Tachdelan: and yes it does [11:45] can anyone tell me how to open ports on ubuntu 7.10 ??? is their a gui interface i can get ??? [11:45] thirdy: find . -name \*.exe | xargs rm -f [11:45] tabman what is your issue? [11:46] realmerx: I guess so, but my server doesn't have wireless [11:46] booster_: yes, add/remove software or software updates or synaptic [11:46] lycus: hello, are you there? [11:46] booster_: if you mean the internet kid of ports install firestarter [11:46] okz .... guys a question : who is a member of the Community Council ? someone knows the irc channel of it ? [11:47] andi6: do you understand how can his server machine access internet if it has the same ip address as the router has? [11:47] bazhang: I installed VirtualBox on ubuntu and put in Windows in the VM. Everything was working fine, I could access internet inside on windows in my VM. Just suddenly the internet has stopped working in it ? [11:47] realmerx: easy. it does NAT for his desktop [11:47] LoLLo: you can /msg ubotu irc for a link of channels [11:47] mavi-, i need to open ports for open arena game...for some reason i cant see any servers in multi player [11:47] realmerx: I asked him how he does it but he still hasn't ansdwered [11:47] erawfish_: what does? [11:47] tabman bridged or nat? [11:47] erawfish_: which machine? [11:47] realmerx: how his ubuntu does NAT [11:47] bazhang: NAT [11:48] his ubuntu/ftp server is doing NAT for his windows machine [11:48] erawfish_: his local machine, server or router? [11:48] erawfish_: is not [11:48] realmerx: it is the same [11:48] realmerx: well, it sounds as if it still does not work correctly, so i will not say anything about it :) [11:48] !msg [11:48] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [11:48] Tachdelan: then you didn't tell the truth [11:48] erawfish_: oh [11:48] tabman and the internet is fine on your ubuntu box still? [11:48] erawfish_: excuse me? [11:48] Tachdelan: your ubuntu/ftp cannot have the same local IP as your rouer's public IP. not possible [11:48] !irc > LoLLo read the pm from the bot [11:48] bazhang: I'm on Ubuntu right now using that same internet connection, my VM is just not accessing the internet [11:48] boot problem... anyone please? [11:49] erawfish_: but that would mean that the server machine should have two different addresses? [11:49] erawfish_: that's why I said that my router HAS NO WAN IP [11:49] realmerx: yes. another thing he denied. any way you slice it: some time he didn't tell the truth [11:49] Tachdelan: a router ALWAYS has a WAN IP or it cannot work [11:49] erawfish_: Please don't call me a liar [11:49] then don't lie [11:49] tabman not used vbox much I prefer vmware--have you tried restarting the guest os or shutting it down restarting in vbox? [11:49] thx baz always a gentlemen [11:50] hi ppl [11:50] hi nuno_nunes [11:50] erawfish_: if it does, then it doesn't tell me what it is or I would have told you [11:50] hey guys calm down [11:50] Tachdelan: do you have a router or a (dsl)modem? [11:50] bazhang: I tried every damn thing, restarted VM, restarted Ubuntu, it was working 2 hours back, it just suddenly stopped working and I did not even install anything or change anything [11:50] i still wonder why you do not take a more standard path, so that people could actually help you? [11:50] erawfish_: could it be possible that his router is bridged to some kind of ISP internal network [11:50] Tachdelan, www.whatismyip.com <--- that will give you the WAN IP that your router haz [11:50] Tachdelan: if your ubunt7ftp has a public IP then it is a modem and your ubuntu is a router [11:50] erawfish_: DSL modem built in router [11:51] tabman that is very odd--not sure what to say let me check the forums,,hold on a sec [11:51] boot problem, anyone can help me please? [11:51] baz have u ever partecipate (only see obviously) to a discussion of the Community Council in the IRC channel ^ [11:51] realmerx: then he hasn't the same IP on desktop via whatismyip.org and ubuntu [11:51] ?* [11:51] Can anyone tell me how can i play AMR audio file [11:51] pietro, be mroe specific please [11:51] I have a new hard drive and I don't know what format i should you use to format it (partition). Should I take ext2 or ext3 [11:51] ? [11:51] iositd: That ip is the same as the server BEHIND the modem/router has [11:51] Tachdelan, then your modem isn't functioning as a router, merely as a bridge [11:52] realmerx: a public IP is unique on this world. no other way or the interwerbs don't work. but since he is unable to tell us his IPs and does a lot of handwaving by claiming "security" we'll never know [11:52] erawfish_: I can turn off the ubuntu without loosing connectivity on this computer [11:52] Nereos: do not take ext2... ext3 or xfs (my default) i would say [11:52] Tachdelan: then your ubuntu cannot have the same IP as your desktop via whatismyip.org [11:52] AMR audio on ubuntu, can't find program for opening it [11:52] iositd_: is that a standard mode for ubuntu 7.10 server install? [11:52] iositd_: at the startup, if i leave the system starts normally i got black screen, if i press ctrl+alt+f1 the system starts normally. i've an ati radeon x1600 and i'm using vesa driver [11:52] iositd_: but that would mean that his router and server could not have the same ip? [11:52] erawfish_: well, it does [11:53] Tachdelan: and your ubuntu must have a nonroutable IP like your vista (10.0.0.1) [11:53] apparently i need OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings to play 3D chess. can someone point me? [11:53] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> how could i change the output driver for quod libet? [11:53] Tachdelan: pastbein the ifconfig output on ubuntu then [11:53] AMR audio [11:53] I am not saying that he lies about his network but I am curious how this kind of network is possible [11:53] juice_: I already told you [11:53] juice_, ive not seen that ever work - in the last 3 releases of ubuntu. Tried installing every gtk/gl thing i could find. none worked [11:54] realmerx: it is not. he maybe doesn't lie deliberately but he does lie [11:54] andi6: Gparted don't let me use xfs so it'll be ext3 :) what is is difference b/t ext2 and ext3 ? [11:54] erawfish o ic sry. [11:54] journaling [11:54] journal === mohadib__ is now known as mohadib [11:54] Nereos: ext3 writes a journal... well... see atlef [11:54] Tachdelan, i haven't followed the whole discussion, but it comes down to this: you can only one _ONE_ computer with an ip on a network. Using a router you can have multiple computers on the same world ip yet internally they all have a different ip. If you type ifconfig or ipconfig (if you're running windows) on your server and your current box you will get 2 different ip's. The wold ip WILL be assigned to a router. [11:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58086/ <-- ifconfig on server [11:54] Tachdelan, it can NOT be assigned to more then a single NIC [11:54] !ext3 [11:54] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [11:54] oki thx :) [11:55] good nite all [11:55] Your IP Address is 88.90.227.78 <--- from whatsmyip [11:55] tabman is this a static ip for the guest os or dynamic? is the xp system trying to get dns automatically or are you assigning it--two issues that I have seen others in the forums with--if you cannot find an answer they also have a channel #vbox [11:55] Nereos, here is night too [11:55] Tachdelan: ok. and what is the ubuntu IP? check with ifconfig [11:55] and I'm using a speedtouch modem/router [11:55] Tachdelan, your modem isn't functioning as a router. It's bridging [11:55] bazhang, hello [11:55] bazhang, good night [11:55] * andi6 wonders about the switch from (no ip addresses to the public at all) to (look maa -> here is my ip) ;-) [11:55] can anyone tell me how to attempt to repair a dual boot ubuntu / XP configuration as when trying to boot into XP I get the Windows XP Logo quickly followed by a BSOD for 1/2 second then back into the boot menu. [11:55] bazhang: I don't know what type IP it is [11:55] hello guys, i need the source code of the program ps, i've got the source code of procps but it is not there, there are just source codes like top or uptime, but i can't find the ps code, anyone knows where it is or where i can get it from? [11:56] pietro, is it possible that it is missing the correct video settings for your screen? that it tries to go to high for your mode? [11:56] iositd_: is that a standard mode for ubuntu 7.10 server install? (serving as a router that is?) [11:56] darren_: ask ##windows [11:56] How do i burn ubuntu to a disc, making it bootable? [11:56] Tachdelan, it is possible for it to do so. [11:56] tabman well you can take a look and set it in the preferences if I recall correctly may be worth a look [11:56] bazhang: but I'm not specially giving anything to xp, I just setup using the "home network" thing [11:56] Tachdelan: no it'S not. can you pleas tell us its IP?

[11:58] Tachdelan: and your windows box gets assigned its IP 10.0.0.1 via DHCP too?

[12:10] realmerx: I installed lynx... runing it now [12:10] Tachdelan: great [12:10] What's My IP Address? Your IP is 88.90.227.78 (p1 of 4) <--- from lynx [12:10] h4L1m: seems like it is the objects in po/ linked together [12:11] thks for you IP adress [12:11] erawfish_: get anything useful from that printout? [12:11] Tachdelan: and it is the same address as your vista and router have? [12:11] realmerx: yes [12:11] andi6, you mean it has not it's own source code? [12:11] hello all, can anyone recommend a decent headless torrent client thats not azurues of fluxbox [12:11] h4L1m, Well, it doesn't get that far, it just goes "Unknown suffix -- unchanged". [12:11] !hello [12:11] h4L1m: no, it is source could consists of the *.c files in ps/, main() is in display.c [12:12] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:12] rtorrent sbox [12:12] evilofisho, hmm don't know it allways worked without problems for me [12:12] Tachdelan: are you running the ubuntu via ethernet and the vista via usb connection to the speedtouch? [12:12] evilofisho, ask the channel :) [12:12] h4L1m, Alright, thanks anyway. : P [12:12] erawfish_: No. Both use wired ethernet [12:12] realmerx: is the problem solved now? [12:12] cause even if the speedtouch acts as a brige it still doesn't really make sense [12:13] andi6, well i'll take a look at that, thx for that man [12:13] What would you all suggest? Installing windows XP then Ubuntu onto a seperate partition? or the other way around then reinstalling grub ? [12:13] a trnasparent bridge that is [12:13] Voltxion, first xp, then ubuntu [12:13] andi6: well I still do not understand how network like this could work [12:13] hehe [12:13] andi6: how can it be that his server (ubuntu) only gets WAN ip? [12:14] erawfish_: well... I don't know HOW it works, but I know it DID work just fine while running XP on the same computer. [12:14] realmerx, i've been thinking ... in theory it's possible that his router is splitting it all up ... and acts like a proxy ... [12:14] realmerx: via bridging this is easy. the trouble comes when you think how the vista PC gets a ANT IP too at the same time [12:14] realmerx, thus giving out only the external ip to the inside [12:15] iositd_: could I read about this kind of configuration somewhere? [12:15] iositd_: Could this be why noone can connect to my server? [12:15] iositd_: sounds interesting [12:15] Tachdelan, yes. in theory it's possible. [12:15] iositd_: it can act as a transparent bridge for ubuntu fine, but hwo can it provide NAT at the same time with the same public IP for windows? either one of the things is OK, together they make no sense [12:15] realmerx, uhm i just thought of the possibility, never really read about it [12:15] erawfish_, iositd_: ok, we agree that this might be possible somehow... but what is the gain? [12:16] Heya all [12:16] andi6, none ... other then that the router would just provide a bridge / split function' [12:16] andi6: I doN#t agree it's possible. either one thing is, together no [12:16] and even when one says it works, I cn't see a gain. a pure NAT is a LOT simpler [12:16] can any 1 help with oracle installation? [12:16] ok :) [12:16] erawfish_: you mean the router shouldn't be able to provide the server with a WAN ip and this one with a LAN ip? [12:16] erawfish_, it can't. If it is bridging it should only do so for one IP. There is no gain in having such a configuration. NAT would make much more sense [12:17] Tachdelan: yes [12:17] Tachdelan: the WAN IP for ubuntu si bridging and the NAT IP for Vista is ANT. it cannot do both [12:17] Tachdelan, did you set the server in the dmz zone or what? [12:17] Anyone play world of warcraft on Ubuntu [12:17] hey all - have a slight problem here.

[12:20] error in oracle installation...can any 1 help? [12:20] * LukeLC cannot help [12:20] OiPenguin: these files are not on a local drive, are not they? [12:20] is there a forum for discussion on/suggestions for ubuntu? [12:20] iositd_: I'm not sure that would do you any good... [12:21] andi6: They are on a local drive. [12:21] hello. amarok wont play radios saying no decoder is found [12:21] what decoders must I install [12:21] iositd_: Not much info on that page [12:21] Tachdelan, i'm fairly sure it would. They have a rather complicated config panel and they do have these options [12:21] Tachdelan, i have a speedtouch as well [12:21] iositd_: Then I am unsure which page you'd like to see... [12:22] Tachdelan, just the main page [12:22] hmm Speedtouch 546 - Residential ADSL gateway [12:22] OiPenguin: are that real jpeg files or do they only end on .jpg? ;-) ... if you wanted you could check by running `file $somefile` [12:22] andi6 under each of the applets in xsession-errors, it has an error like this http://pastebin.com/m585dbc12 [12:23] Anyone feel like like giving advice on dualbooting XP with ubuntu? [12:23] andi6: They are real. Imported from my digital camera. It's been a problem for while, but wasn't a problem initially. I'm unable to identify anything I've done which may have caused this problem. [12:23] Do you know any repository for wxGTK 2.7.8? [12:23] hmm just looking though /etc/groups and was wondering if i should add my user to the group "users" there's nothing about this in the install guide. also i just added my user to games :D [12:23] OiPenguin: what does `file` say? and what about `ls -l $file`? [12:24] Can I create a ~/ partition? [12:24] OiPenguin: have you run a compositing manager before? [12:24] Voltxion: there are many good, and thorough guides available online if you search for "dual boot windows ubuntu" [12:24] Can I create a ~/ partition or does it have to be a /home partition? [12:24] andi76? [12:24] andi6? [12:24] simplyubuntu: have you run a compositing manager before? [12:24] OiPenguin: sorry [12:24] andi6: I believe I've tried compiz, but I never got the hang of it. [12:24] well ok can someone check there /etc/groups and see if there under the "users" group [12:25] of course... compiz running right now [12:25] their* [12:25] they're* [12:25] simplyubuntu: are you brave? then try `killall gnome-panel` :) [12:25] hehe [12:25] was just about to ;) [12:26] iositd_: http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.bbc8a2ada6.jpg [12:26] andi6: lars@LITE-U:~/Skrivebord/2008-03-02--11.10.46$ file 00001.jpg [12:26] 00001.jpg: JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.2 [12:26] iositd_: sorry... hang on [12:26] Tachdelan, yeah you have almost the same router i have and they do have settings related to this [12:27] Tachdelan, ( i can make that out of that small pic :P ) [12:27] andi6 no luck [12:27] iositd_: not bad :) [12:27] iositd_: try this one... http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/bbc8a2ada6.jpg [12:28] Tachdelan, yeah ... you can set the NAT settings under the Game & Application Sharing [12:28] can anyone help me with connecting to my wireless network? [12:28] hi :) [12:28] simplyubuntu: can you delete and readd applets? [12:28] iositd_: But could it be that the server itself is blocking incoming connections? anything other than iptables I can check? [12:28] andi6: lars@LITE-U:~/Skrivebord/2008-03-02--11.10.46$ ls -l 00001.jpg [12:28] -rw-rw-r-- 1 lars lars 907455 2008-03-02 11:10 00001.jpg [12:28] simplyubuntu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel gnome-applets then try a reboot might work. [12:28] iositd_: I know, but not DMZ [12:28] Tachdelan, i'm not a master on that ( i spend 3 hours getting my own fw up) [12:28] should I be under the group "users" in etc/groups? [12:29] iositd_: ha, i know that jpeg file, just by the file size ;-) [12:29] Tachdelan, speedtouch routers don't have dmz, you have to set ports manually) [12:29] andi6, hmm? [12:29] I've configured my kernel now and it's compiling. I started the compile with make-kpkg binary. Is that Ok? Sry for bad english :) [12:29] erawfish_, realmerx: could it be that the server itself is blocking incoming connections? anything other than iptables I can check? [12:29] can anyone help me with connecting to my wireless network? [12:29] iositd_: but I shouldn't need to with my current setup [12:30] iositd_: well, please just ignore me [12:30] OiPenguin: any warning when you run `display $file`? [12:30] does anyone use compiz? [12:31] should I be under the group "users" in etc/groups? [12:31] andi6, lordleemo, done the reinstall, will reboot and be back shortly. [12:31] simplyubuntu: ok m8 i had a similar thing worked for me [12:31] andi6: display opens the file instantly without warning [12:31] Breakage: not necessarily, i am neither [12:31] Tachdelan, yes you should forward the ports unless you disabled your router entirely. Try to forward the ports you want in the correct section [12:32] Have anyone installed globus in ubuntu? [12:32] andi6: ok thanks alot :) [12:32] iositd_: Sorry, I forgot you didn't follow the conversation from the start... I have forwarded the ports already. [12:33] good morning [12:33] Tachdelan, try and read the questions more carefully next time ... i asked if you had any section on your router that did have info on this ... obviously this section did ... [12:33] ezra1964: morning [12:33] pleeeeaas help me^^ [12:33] erawfish_: btw, you did not tell me why forwarding 21 for passive ftp does not suffice yet [12:33] iositd_: I apologize [12:33] Did the latest kernel update break Nvidia/X for anyone else (Hardy)? [12:33] Tachdelan, no problem. [12:33] where do i get kernel-2.6.8.1.tar.gz from? [12:34] anyone use globus with ubuntu? [12:34] kernel.org [12:34] KojiroSoma: better even a mirror thereof [12:34] Tachdelan, as it appears you're not running the dhcp server on your router. ... correct? [12:34] andi6: huh? [12:34] KojiroSoma: kernel.org [12:34] does anyone know what scheduler 7.04 uses? I dropped a script in cron.daily but it didnt run, and I see crontab is empty [12:34] KojiroSoma: http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/ [12:35] im trying to follow the install modem guide but it goes Go to your downloaded kernel folder and it never told me how to do that step :/ [12:35] iositd_: I am [12:35] !find linux-image-2.6.8.1 [12:35] iositd_: At least I'm pretty sure I am... Can't seem to find the right page atm. :S [12:35] Package/file linux-image-2.6.8.1 does not exist in gutsy [12:35] Tachdelan, if you would then you'd get an internal ip (c class?) starting with 192.168.1.* on default settings [12:35] ezra1964: i doubt these script will appear in crontab [12:36] could be 182,168.0.* [12:36] w00t [12:36] iositd_: DHCP Server: Enabled [12:36] I got sound working! [12:36] er 192 [12:36] andi6, lordleemo it worked! [12:36] well usually there are commands to run the scripts in cron.daily etc [12:36] rambo3, speedtouch starts on 192.168.1.* usually afaik [12:36] but when i do a crontab -e [12:36] this one uses 10.0.0.x series [12:36] simplyubuntu: what did you reinstall, btw? [12:36] ASUS F3SV requires the latest alsa stuff plus it needs to be modprobed as model=hp [12:36] there are no commands at all [12:37] for any one who is interested [12:37] iositd_: internal router ip is 10.0.0.138 [12:37] Tachdelan, .... now you've got me 100% confused ... how many routers / servers / boxes / anything else are you running? [12:37] ezra1964: so does /usr/sbin/cron run? [12:37] good question [12:38] is there a way to install modem drivers throguh mdprobe? [12:38] andu6, gnome-panel, gnome-panel-applets [12:38] iositd_: 1 modem/router, 1 ubuntu 7.10 server install pc and 1 vista gaming computer [12:38] iositd_: that's all [12:38] simplyubuntu: did you have a kernel oops or update recently? [12:38] Tachdelan, then where does your router fit in? [12:38] Tachdelan: I am currently reading about bridges :) [12:38] iositd_: my router is my modem and vice versa [12:38] according to ps it is running, its just that its config is empty [12:39] I am use to always adding things by vim in to the fstab, is there a way to doit from the command? for exsample "mount -addtofstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/winblows" [12:39] andi6: i had an update last week caused the same problem [12:39] is there a way to install modem drivers throguh mdprobe? [12:39] Tachdelan: because I have no idea how your internet works :p [12:39] i've noticed this before and was wondering if ubuntu uses a different scheduler [12:39] andi6 not that I know of... I did install cairo dock, though [12:39] lordleemo: you are updating gutsy? [12:39] Tachdelan, humor me and check what your router tells you what the ip is of the connected devices [12:39] iositd_: the speedtouch 546T2 is a modem with built-in router (1 WAN, 4 LAN) [12:39] andi6: yes m8 [12:39] Tachdelan, alright... i get it [12:40] lordleemo: strange... no problems on another machine... maybe one needs to run compiz for that [12:40] also is there a way to install kernel-2.6.8.1.tar.gz via terminal? [12:40] andi6: i run compiz m8 i got an update and that caused my problem [12:40] w00t [12:40] Morning all. Overnight, my machine crashed for some reason. When I come to reboot it, it gets to the Waiting for root file system" part and then stops. After a few minutes it gives "ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". So presumably something in my LVM has gone awry. How do I find out what it is? [12:41] lordleemo: thanks :) [12:41] andi6: welcome [12:41] iositd_: http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/c87dbb5905.jpg [12:42] hey, is there a way to make ubuntu boot up really fast? [12:43] can anyone help finishing installing ndiswrapper-common. my last command was sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [12:43] karuna_bdc: sure, replace /bin/init by /bin/bash as init process... somehow i doubt you will like it though === Legion_ is now known as nichlas [12:43] !preload | karuna_bdc: [12:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about preload - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:43] hi [12:44] hi [12:44] hi [12:44] hi [12:44] hi [12:44] hi [12:44] cHeRrY_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:44] iositd_: confused yet? ;) [12:45] Tachdelan, getting close ... [12:45] karuna_bdc: sorry wrong, this is for faster app loading [12:45] iositd_: =P [12:45] ok I never bothered to understand bridges before :p [12:45] creature, first thing i'd do would be go in to the grub menu and boot without the quiet and splash flags [12:45] so bridge is basically Layer2 routing [12:45] atlef: thts ok [12:45] Tachdelan, one more screenshot ... the details of the server that gets your wan ip [12:46] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/384/ I was looking at this idea on the brainstorm board, but it doesn't really give any specific information about what they're looking for from the artists. anyone know/know how to contact author(s)? [12:46] does ubuntu work in virtual windows? [12:46] ks3: I've taken out the quiet flag, and I've hit Alt+F1 so I'm looking at a console now. [12:46] but that still would need different ip addresses [12:46] can anyone help finishing installing ndiswrapper-common. my last command was sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [12:46] whitekidney: do you mean on Virtual PC? [12:46] Coffie: it should be installed now [12:46] creature, well... "lvm pvdisplay" -- does your disk show up? [12:46] st0n3cutt3r, thhey are prolly on ubuntuforums [12:47] nDuff: Erm, given that it can't mount the root file system, I probably won't have lvm available to me, will I? [12:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 [12:47] rambo3: think I should just search the topic? (I'm not at all familiar with the forums) [12:47] I will check and see if it's on the initramfs. [12:47] creature, it's in the initrd [12:47] st0n3cutt3r, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 [12:47] does ubuntu work in virtual windows?

[12:47] hey is there a way to automount drives on startup? like whats the commad to put in sessions? [12:47] Sigh. [12:47] iositd_: please clarify... you want ifconfig of the ubuntu server I've got?

[12:49] Tachdelan, http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/2916/screenshotzr3.png [12:49] yeah, a OS inside a OS [12:49] iositd_: oh... you mean from the speedtouch... one sec [12:49] why does it say this> E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.12-9-386 whitekidney: yes [12:49] !find linux-headers-2.6.12-9 [12:49] Package/file linux-headers-2.6.12-9 does not exist in gutsy [12:49] um, it doesnt load. [12:49] KojiroSoma: 2.6.12 is rather old [12:50] whitekidney, what virtualization software are you using [12:50] whitekidney: you can emulate ubuntu on windows using virtual pc 2007 [12:50] Windows Virtual PC [12:50] what should i use to install modem drivers then? [12:50] iositd_: http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/47fe43f665.jpg [12:50] KojiroSoma, headers dont have 386 at the end [12:50] whitekidney: [12:50] http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/installing-ubuntu-710-under-virtual-pc-2007/ [12:50] whitekidney, when i tried that, i had to add 'clock=pit' to the boot options [12:50] the menu loads, it says Start or Install ubuntu [12:50] Tachdelan, .... [12:50] Tachdelan, now i am ... [12:50] thats what it says in the installmodem guide :/ [12:51] im only trying to follow the guide :( [12:51] Tachdelan, the only thing i can possibly think of ... is that your server is telling your router to give it a specific ip ... [12:51] ks3: how do i do that? [12:51] is there a way to reset all desktop configurations for all users at commandline ? [12:51] iositd_: hehehhe... But I'm still not convinced that the problem is the router [12:51] nDuff:"OUI-10036:could not locate the inventory location.you may not have the permission to write to that location" [12:52] iositd_: the server is using dhcp client to get ip [12:52] KojiroSoma, my bad they have , what ubuntu version are you running? [12:52] whitekidney: follow this guide! http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/installing-ubuntu-710-under-virtual-pc-2007/ [12:52] Tachdelan, you tried to release the ip and using dhclient to gain a new? [12:52] one [12:52] stone, thanks ill try that. [12:52] iositd_: but the router know that the nic (mac addresse) on the server shall get the wan ip [12:52] stone : the page is blank [12:53] rambo3: i have gutsy gibbon 7.10 the laest version [12:53] ganu, does /etc/oraInventory.loc exist? [12:53] whitekidney: as long as you follow the instructions, you should have no problems. I'm emulating ubuntu right now with it. [12:53] Tachdelan, release it, tell ur router to forget this nic, then reconnect [12:53] iositd_: the server has already switched ips a couple of times [12:53] whitekidney: try reloading the page? [12:53] stone : the page is blank, 100% white [12:53] i did. [12:53] use a different browser? [12:53] iositd_: then it will get a private ip [12:53] ill try [12:53] hi, this might be a bit off topic, but whenever i install amarok, it keeps getting wrong CD cover and adding it to all albums, for example, all albums will have the same cover [12:53] Tachdelan, the whole point ... then you can use the NAT to forward traffic [12:53] KojiroSoma, why dont you just use current kernel, can you oist guide link? [12:54] oist/post [12:54] iositd_: Oh man! I was trying to avoid that... :( [12:54] iositd_: but ok.. [12:54] Tachdelan, why were you tryin to avoid it? [12:54] rambo3: i would love to but i dont know how :( [12:54] Tachdelan, it's the most secure way of forwarding traffic ...

It will ask you to download the codecs on the first time playing htem [12:57] whitekidney: near the end of that guide it tells you to edit menu.lst. while you're editing it, the guide doesn't mention this, but you'll want to add ' -- i8042.noloop' to the automatic boot options as well. it's about half-way down the page under ## ##Start Default Options ## [12:57] *them [12:57] thanks [12:57] iositd_: indeed... but I forgot the commands to release/renew ip in linux...

[12:58] yeah [12:58] KojiroSoma, you didn't read the manual ? You start at this line : "For Dapper Drake (6.06) and thereafter," so you don't need that kernel . type uname -r [12:58] iositd_: I know, but I want to release and renew to avoid screwups with the router [12:58] Tachdelan, unjack from the router? [12:58] ganu, I'm pondering that. I've done a number of Oracle installs, but all of those have been Gentoo, SLES or RHEL; you might be best off trying to follow an existing installation guide such as that at http://www.spazidigitali.com/media/Oracle_su_ubuntu.pdf [12:58] rambo3: even the other official guide is kinda outdated :( i dont know what to do :/ [12:58] iositd_: lol... ok, ok... bbiab [12:58] its showing the path "/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory" and if click ok the error appearing [12:58] KojiroSoma, there is no more -386 , what kernel are you running. type uname -r in terminal [12:59] aww, i cant PM, stone, but can you join #whitekidney?

It seems that compiling is a lot easier than I thought it would be. =D [14:20] Well, I mean to say, it look simple enough. [14:20] *looks [14:20] ubuntu-n00b - when you resize you ntfs partition it will only allow you to resize to the minimum ammount that will keep all of your data intact on the partition - ie it will not allow a resize that would wipe data off of you disk [14:20] my missus needs XP and all the music/pics etc so I need to make sure it dont get wiped [14:20] Fersure: Yeah.

[14:21] ubuntu-n00b: ;D [14:22] ye, ive only got 73GB on my HD left [14:22] out of?

[15:48] Jack_Sparrow, wait.. i recompiled the kernel [15:48] the reason it needs that is so it can chmod some files [15:48] i know this is off topic but trying to add memory to my laptop so I can install ubuntu7.10 on it is 4096MB the same as 2 gig? [15:48] i would do it manualy but it wont tell me what files need chmodding [15:48] Haru, To help clarify, you do not see the letters you type, just some odd characters or graphic correct [15:48] :@ very annoying [15:48] Jack_Sparrow, and most of xorg packages etc [15:48] Jack_Sparrow, yes [15:49] jtravnick: 4096 = 4GiB [15:49] Haru, You have your answer... you recompiled the kernel.. [15:49] hyder - that module has been loaded ok. try running lspci and lshw now to see if your wifi card shows up. [15:49] i'm using a glassfish application server, at one point the servers stops acception connection with message connection refused, in #glassfish i was told that it is a "new connection / second" problem of the os. [15:49] is it possible to boot ubuntu from a partition (primary), /dev/hda3, starting at 100gb of a 250gb hd?? [15:49] Jack_Sparrow, so is there a fix to this? [15:49] has ubuntu a default rule for "new connections / second" ? [15:49] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nibblyn, very possible [15:50] danand, nope doesn't show up [15:50] stephan nope, those that advised you of that may be wrong [15:50] lonran Welcome [15:50] erUSUL, ok didnt think this laptop could handel 4 gig but been seeing things saying it could handel 2 [15:50] Haru, Without knowing where you went wrong recompiling your kernel or most of the xorg.. no..

[15:50] Haru, DOnt bother [15:50] :( [15:51] amenado: glassfish is java app server like jboss or the like [15:51] hyder - if not restart udev - sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart and then restart networking - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - No warranties implied in that :) [15:51] can I get compiz-fusion from there aswell danand? [15:51] Nibblyn-> have you done what I asked? boot from liveCD so we can recover?

[15:53] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nibblyn, try to flush the bios? if it's possible [15:53] jus looking at all my drives [15:54] GunnerKes - you should have compiz-fusion installed by default - look at system -> preferences -> appearance. click on last tab -- visual effects. to configure how compiz runs you'll want the compizconfig-settings-manager package - in a terminal type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager or install from synaptics [15:54] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nibblyn, or use a smaller hd [15:54] stephan i assume it has a log file? you configured it to log? check there? [15:54] stephan: dunno. when i said limit by hardware i mean cpu power etc [15:54] hello [15:54] Does anyone need help on dual booting?

[16:41] athlon - rar a file.rar folder/file_to_add1 folder/file_to_add2 folder/file_to_add3 etc [16:41] Thanks, I'll try winehq first. [16:42] rachael_-> just for kicks, what if you do /etc/init.d/network restart does that wifi awakens? [16:42] does anybody how can I use wget so it has a logfile about where I went each time & updates it. I want a way where this is done autoamatically, without user intervention === evandavis is now known as EvanDavis [16:42] shirish: pipe the output of wget -v to a file [16:43] good morning [16:43] mr.danand if my file is relase01.rar how to do it i have relase02.rar relase03.rar etc [16:43] adaptr: I want to configure wget in such a way so that this is done silently in the background each time, I can refer back the log as to where from I downloaded the files is ready to me. [16:43] wow, 1200 users :/ [16:43] i created a folder beginning with "." and it disappears in Dolphin. how do i find it and rename it? [16:44] shirish: so man wget, all the options are there [16:44] this is not some esoteric usage [16:44] know now [16:44] it's fairly standard behaviour [16:44] I'm having an audio issue with ubuntu 7.04, I can get sound from everything BUT web based video. mp3's, microphone, wav, and everything else works. But no web based sound. Any suggestions anyone? :| [16:44] shirish-> there is the new events style being pushed on Ubuntu, its likely to replace inittab, cron and other services, take a look at events as this seems to meet your needs, your wget creates the events -- you create a task to write the url to a file [16:44] adaptr: saw that, mostly it has cmd line options, I'm looking to set if there is some sort of configuration file on which I can do. [16:45] yes, .wgetrc, per user [16:45] *man wget* [16:45] seriously [16:45] does anyone know if there is an equivalent to OpenBSD's pf firewall in linux? I'm not just looking for a firewall, pf provides other functionalities such as load balancing and packet routing which i'm after.. [16:45] shirish its kind of advance, but these features are now available since 7.04, just that many of us are relearning linux of these new features [16:45] jabalsad: netfilter/iptables [16:45] jabalsad: shorewall [16:45] Audio has stopped working in my Ubuntu, and it works fine on liveCD, so I wonder how I can restore it to how it would run on the liveCD easily? [16:46] amenado: http://rafb.net/p/WyVVJA22.html [16:46] jabalsad-> yes iptables can do as much as pf [16:46] athlon - just type unrar e release01.rar - the rest should get done automatically. the first file will hold the instructions necessary for unrar to extract all the files etc from the other rar files [16:46] amenado: I know what u are talking about, you're talking about upstart. [16:46] What is the easiest way to keep up to date with the most recently released beta of FF 3? Currently, I've only found beta 3 pre in the repositories.. [16:46] all: i am looking for an easy tool that converts text files to PDF (or PostScript I suppose)... is there an easy command line tool for this? [16:46] unrar e release01.rar shows the file allready exists [16:46] hi, when I print something, there is a margin (empty space) added automatically on the sides of my page, while i need the print to take the entire page, how do i prevent these blank space margins ? [16:47] rachael thats a tuff one...somehow the drivers are not loaded to activate the wifi.. hang on, let me look around [16:47] for example: say i have two connections (ppp0 and ppp1), can i route traffic incoming on le0 to either ppp0 or ppp1 depending on their source/destination and ports? [16:47] tim167: what printer? [16:47] shirish yes..upstart and udev and events [16:47] anyone here good at piping and such? i want a single row to 1. list a folder (musik) recursively for all files ending with .flac and 2. encode them to mp3 and then 3. move them to the folder ftp/asd [16:47] tim167: Are you trying to print on A4 or Letter paper? [16:47] SuperQ Hp PSC1510 [16:47] SuperQ, A4, and i made settings accordingly [16:47] i'll have a look at those mentioned thanks :) [16:47] amenado: thanks, i really appreciate it. i've been working on this for the past two weeks over three different distros, i'm grateful for any help you can give me [16:47] jabalsad-> yes its possible, but its fairly advance for most of us to do dynamic routing [16:48] athlon - try unrar x release01.rar instead then - that will extract preserving full paths [16:48] Can someone please help me with my opera and flash? I cannot get the two to work together for the life of me! [16:48] endo: someone already said they don't work together [16:48] endo: 32 or 64 bit [16:48] jim55 Welcome, what time zone are you it's early evening inthe United Kingdom [16:48] tim167: Sorry, only quick fix I know is when people try and print on letter but Ubuntu is setup for A4 [16:49] realmerx: 32 bit [16:49] hello [16:49] Macki welcome [16:49] endo: and what is the problem? [16:49] rachael work with me, canyou ls -la /sys/module and see if your iwlXXX is somehow listed there? [16:49] endo, Getting opera to work with flash was one of the main reasons flash was pulled from the repos.. I still see people having issuse [16:49] SuperQ, what is the quick fix for letter paper ? [16:49] Hi allm does anyone know the command for adding proftpd users in ubuntu gutsy? [16:49] realmerx: flash just will not work. I've tried following the instructions from the opera page but no luck [16:49] Jack_Sparrow: so, there is no fix? [16:50] SuperQ, it adds a margin of almost a centimeter, and i need that space for my image to fit... [16:50] endo, THere must be.. but I do not know it. [16:50] amenado: http://rafb.net/p/PfuU0A98.html [16:50] Jack_Sparrow: hmm what is the problem with flash and opera, not heard of it [16:50] I have got it working [16:50] Jack_Sparrow: alright, thanks bro [16:50] but under opensuse [16:51] ls [16:51] Mackie do you need help? [16:51] hi i'm trying to use vmware and it's very slow [16:51] What is the easiest way to keep up to date with the most recently released beta of FF 3? Currently, I've only found beta 3 pre in the repositories.. [16:51] i have only 1 gb ... will it help to upgrade to 2 gb? [16:51] 2gb is the max on my machine [16:51] how do iconfigure a static ip? [16:52] rachael_-> cat /sys/modules/iwl3945/initstate if there is any [16:52] realmerx, the flash update caused havoc for weeks. firefox users have no problems... [16:52] ok thanx mr.danand [16:52] Jack_Sparrow: ok [16:52] user01 via ifconfig... [16:52] amenado: no such directory [16:52] Jack_Sparrow: that is also with non package version of flash? [16:52] amenado, not by interfaces in etc ? [16:53] rachael_-> cat /sys/module/iwl3945/initstate if there is any i mistyped earlier..module not modules [16:53] user01-> via the gui too yes.. [16:53] user01-> or that interfaces file [16:53] Any way to reset the alsa setup to how it was at install? [16:53] athlon - no problem - no need for the mr by the way - if you add that i don't see your messages very easily :) [16:53] amenado: there's one: live [16:54] rachael okay..its a good sign.. [16:54] sure [16:54] amenado, i changed the interfaces file, restarted networking but is giving me the same ip address from dhcp before i restarted networking [16:54] realmerx, It is no longer an issue..

[17:24] i dont think so [17:25] AJF355: could you point me to the manual page [17:25] tehbatz: I think you need a new driver. Google [instert driver name here] for lniux.

I burned Ubuntu 7.10 to a CD-R; should I use it? Or should I try to upgrade through the Update Manager as recommended on the website? [18:07] cool, thank you [18:07] Wobbley: gaim, pidgin, or amsn, i suppose. [18:07] @Wobbley - Pidgin [18:07] Wobbley: or if you need only msn and no other protocols then amsn [18:08] Wobbley: for monitoring gkrellm [18:08] amsn also does webcam support [18:08] Nam2 Did that help you? [18:08] ethereality-> you already have the cdrom so may as well use that to install instead of upgrade [18:08] Rgem, make the file executable, and then ./filename should do it [18:08] hi again amenado I understood that I have to retype the complete file again because my mistake is not possible to solve I take note and I will back up my next scripts thank you [18:08] amenado: there's no significant difference? Do they recommend people use the Update Manager simply to save the CD-R?

[18:09] empty_tin_can: no [18:09] realmerx: I cant find the software in the list under Add/remove [18:09] ethereality-> much faster to install from a cdrom than downloading stuff from the net ifyour connection is slow [18:09] the gkrellm [18:09] realmerx, what type of network/hardware monitoring do you want.

[18:31] cya don16140 [18:31] PriceChild: Hi. don16140, download the Live CD, boot to it, and you can try Ubuntu without installing. [18:31] What the hell? [18:31] I did however install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, so I would have the flash plugin that is within that package.. still it almost reliably crashes every time. [18:31] don16140: good luck [18:31] Anyone have any insight? [18:31] OK,,,thanks again. Bye [18:31] cya don [18:32] hi, this may be a silly question, but when i install something in ubuntu, other packages get installed along with it. If I then want to uninstall it, those extra packages aren't removed. Is there a way to make this happen? [18:32] Oh dear: If you do not agree to the DLJ license terms you cannot install this software. The installation of this package will be canceled. [18:32] ajbrun: within Synaptic Package Manager, find what you want to remove and click "Completely Remove". [18:32] can anyone tell me why after 5-10 minutes of inactivity my screen shuts off. I don't have the screen saver turned on. [18:32] ajbrun: sudo apt-get auto-remove [18:32] drK_avNgr What is your question? [18:32] ajbrun: sudo apt-get autoremove [18:32] ajbrun: sudo apt-get autoreomve "packagename" [18:32] It'll remove all the other programs, which are "Dependencies". [18:32] I don't believe it, I just hit enter at the wrong time .. Bad luck for me .. [18:33] ah right - i thought that still left the other packages, but dropped the program settings [18:33] after every 2 hours(or so) the sound goes off on my comp. it comes back after restart.. anyone!!!

[20:20] simplexio, i alredy that [20:20] zulerdongle: Ah, that was your issue with the cdrom upgrade previously? Alright. Why are you using external DVD instead of internal CD? (The DVD drive is your issue, not an upgrading issue), so you need to troubleshoot it (and I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to external drives) [20:21] in some places i've read to set proto=RSN for wpa2, in others proto=WPA2, bot none of both works [20:21] simplexio, do i only add my account or also root? [20:21] Anyone knows where can I download the Now Playing screenlet? I searched in google but I can't find, It seems like that screenlet is installed by default but, there's not there in my screenlets folder :S [20:21] D-Unit: you need to re-log or reboot [20:21] D-Unit: works for me without sudo [20:21] flannel because my internal one is damaged [20:21] hi i need help with visudo [20:21] and firestarter [20:22] one_matthias: Why are you using visudo with firestarter? [20:22] simplexio, k brb [20:22] how comei cant "sudo nautilus"....it doesnt give an error, but it doenst work either [20:22] x89x - you still there?? [20:22] Fink: You need to use gksu with graphical programs instead of sudo [20:22] i need to enter path so firestarter start automatically upon startup without asking for password ... [20:22] hey guys, im trying to change my default sound card and having a hard time. [20:22] oh [20:22] i am refering to the sudoer file ... [20:22] well it worked before >_< [20:23] hi guyz [20:23] Should I install the "Restricted Drivers" for ATI Acceleerated graphics driver (I have ati radeon x1950 pro) [20:23] ? [20:24] i want know the name of view webcam conversation with pidgin [20:24] still dont work >_< [20:24] Darkness89 Welcome do you have a question? [20:24] flannel do u know how ?, i have followed an instruction but something is missing.. [20:24] baegle: yes. But I use the driver that ubuntu installs by default, not the 3d accelerated one [20:24] one_matthias: You are aware that firestarter starts automatically, but you just want to start the gui, right? [20:24] nickrud: I use the "restricted" driver, is that what you mean? [20:24] is there a way to have both kde and gnome installed and not have apps from both in the menus? i want gnome's in gnome and kde's in kde, thats it [20:24] where can I download the Now Playing screenlet? :s [20:24] hmmm [20:24] th3count: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=366662 , and im nice now. its second hit with your question from google [20:25] just did "sudo nautilus" again [20:25] baegle: yes, that's the one I don't use. Too flaky [20:25] hi, im desperate to update from 7.04 to 7.10 to get my wifi to work. i have the alternate cd but i cant get the upgrade with the cd to work...any ideas on how to do it? thanks [20:25] and it said "fink is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" [20:25] fink == me [20:25] nickrud: do you play 3d games and watch video without issues? [20:25] Fink: nautilus as root is a Bad Idea, but not using gksu nautilus is also bad [20:25] th3count: remeber that volume level maybe 0 as default [20:25] baegle: no 3d games, videos fine. [20:25] sorry but my irc behaced strangely ... [20:25] but sudo anything does the same [20:25] danand : did you reply just now ?? [20:25] Fink,no it does not [20:26] in my case it does not since i can not see the firestarter icon on the desptop ... [20:26] no [20:26] Fink, root and nautilus - quick route to broken box [20:26] Fabi: whats up [20:26] Fink: gksu sets up the environment differently [20:26] have to start it manually ... [20:26] i mean gives me the error "fink is not in the sudoers file..." [20:26] x89x - yes - thought you had disapeared :) [20:26] sturmtief nothing [20:26] Fink, so here is a clue - you are not the first user who installed the box become that user if you want to progress [20:26] Fink: you should be in the admin group. groups in a terminal lists your groups. Should be a bunch [20:26] Tortured: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/18/removing-kde-icons-in-gnome-remove-gnome-icons-in-kde/ [20:27] one_matthias: Yes. The firestarter Icon will not dispaly in the icon tray but if you configured it, it should start automatically. [20:27] i was fiddling my openchrome drivers danand [20:27] i am in the first user i made when i installed it >_< [20:27] actually i installed fiesty just now [20:27] how can i verify that _ [20:27] x89x - think i've found solution ... type asoundconf list in a terminal - both your soundcards should be listed [20:27] Fink: What do you get when you type "groups"? [20:27] one_matthias: You can edit your sudoers file to start the firestarter gui, if you want. [20:27] one_matthias: See the list of running processes. [20:27] hm, i wonder, will using this 17555 lines long /etc/hosts file i found on the net slow down something? :D [20:27] ya both are there danand [20:28] VT82xx Live [20:28] spupy: probably go light speed, why else would it be on the net? [20:28] Hey guys, I have recently installed Ubuntu on one of my PC's and cannot get the internet to work on it for some odd reason. Do you think i'd have to manually set up my internet on there or could I just download some software and put it on a disk and have ubuntu read it? [20:28] so it is not really necesary to start the gui [20:28] Spunky: wireless or ethernet? [20:28] Ethernet [20:29] x89x - ok now type asoundconf set-default-card CARDNAME where CARDNAME is the name of the sb_live card output by the previous command you just run [20:29] one_matthias: No. only if you wanted to: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=549139 [20:29] Fink, do this command here >> id << and tell me what you see [20:29] Spunky: that's weird unless it doesn't have the firmware it should work [20:29] tell me where do i found running processes ???, ps -aux ... [20:29] Well it's a really old PC that i bummed from my school, so i'm guessing it doesn't [20:29] nickrud: it's one of these files which redirects (?) ad sites to localhost.. which sounds good, but its freaking 17k lines long!! [20:30] one_matthias: As you can see, I had the same question you did when I first installed firestarter :) [20:30] Spunky: what kind of card? [20:30] danand : i wrote asoundconf set-default-card Live [20:30] and it didnt give any output [20:30] Spunky: brand name as in [20:30] in synaptic i installed the LAMP server in gutsy...i got mysql, but no php, why's that+ [20:30] You mean like a network connection card? [20:30] uid=1000(fink) gid=1000(fink) groups=60(games),1000(fink) [20:30] hey i did the same as they tell me to .elt me check ... [20:31] Spunky: no like realtek or broadcom, etc. [20:31] could this be the doing of my recent "sudo usermod -G games fink" [20:31] x89x - ok - try your sound now though with cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio [20:31] >_< [20:31] Fink, well done you borked your box [20:31] Fink: absolutely. you forgot -m [20:31] in synaptic i installed the LAMP server in gutsy...i got mysql, but no php, why's that [20:31] Ah well i don't exactly know, but I know this PC uses realtek. [20:31] * ompaul cries for fink [20:31] hurm [20:31] cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio or at /dev/urandom > file.wav ??? [20:31] one_matthias: My advice: configure firestarter and don't worry about starting the gui [20:31] danand [20:31] Fink: boot in recovery mode, do sudo adduser fink admin , then type exit. You're back to sudo [20:31] simplexio, were were we? [20:31] Fink, not all is lost if you have a live CD [20:31] but once i issued sudo /firestart after adding this to the sudoer it still asks me for password .... [20:31] Hi, I have a nub question. When I named my user profile after installing Ubuntu, I made a spelling error. Can I change this? [20:32] Spunky: can you bring a terminal now? [20:32] good thing this is a fresh install :D [20:32] ok, thanks ... [20:32] another thing do you use ktorrent ? [20:32] D-Unit: trying to get usbusers work [20:32] ompaul: which i does [20:32] hi im really new.... i have a huge problem i cant logonto my ubuntu after i accidently did fsck on a running system [20:32] x89x - just cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio [20:32] one_matthias: Yes I do [20:32] now all i get is Busybox [20:32] in synaptic i installed the LAMP server in gutsy...i got mysql, but no php, why's that [20:32] simplexio, ok well i alredy had done that previously so now wat? [20:32] Fink: erm, drop the sudo on the adduser command ;) [20:32] !repeat | gnuskool [20:32] gnuskool: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:32] I can bring up terminal, I currently don't have a monitor for it or an extra one for that matter, but if you could give me like some commands, I could try them out and get back to you. [20:32] D-Unit: well does it allow you bit cross there enable usb subsystem [20:33] x89x - either that or aplay file.wav [20:33] danand : nope [20:33] simplexio, i dont need usb to be seen if u cant do that, im fine with a shared folder if that would be easier [20:33] but when i boot up from cd it still finds my system configuration [20:33] hello [20:33] Fink, so fire it up and join here again - - mind you, if you did other stuff at the same time then perhaps a fresh and clean isntall is a good idea [20:33] again its outputting at that onbaord device [20:33] in rescue mode that is [20:33] nickrud: as in sudo useradd... [20:33] im here on my desktop [20:33] Spunky: lspci I need the output of that [20:33] Fink: yes, just adduser fink admin . recovery mode is a root console [20:33] i tired to add old torrent files and so i share the old files i have with others so i added scanfolders program to ktorrent but everytime i start it ,the prgoram tells me that the movie is already there and will be merged with something else ... [20:33] have you got that kind of strange things ... [20:34] Alright could you PM me the whole command for terminal, or is that the whole command? [20:34] nickrud, so I was going the hard way about it ;-) [20:34] Spunky: that is the entire command: lspci [20:34] nickrud, look at the lack of groups there [20:34] is there any way i could do anything through this "BusyBox" ? [20:34] Spunky: that will tell me a few things I need to know [20:34] Alright thank you sir, i'll get back to you shortly [20:34] newbiiee: yes [20:34] Spunky: no problem [20:34] simplexio, how do i go to enable usb system? [20:34] D-Unit: i dont use shared folders from vbox, i have samba server running [20:34] Spunky: just let me know, or email it to me or something [20:34] ompaul: Saw that. I'm constructing the addgroup command, doing the adduser admin thing gave me time :) [20:34] simplexio, wats samba/ [20:35] D-Unit: setting->usb [20:35] !samba | D-Unit [20:35] D-Unit: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[20:35] does anyone here know how to bypass the login screen after resuming from standby? [20:35] one_matthias: You should get the original .torrent file, open it with ktorrent, and when it asks you for which folder to put the download in, point it to the folder where the download is already. It should find that the download is complete and start seeding. [20:35] Spunky: can I PM? [20:35] of course [20:35] windows networks folders open source implementation name [20:35] but there is no editor in this BusyBox as far as i can see [20:35] x89x - try running alsamixer again and see what card its using [20:35] I crashed my ubuntu install after switching my video drivers from Radeon(flgrx) to Radeon(vesa).

Thanks [21:19] solexious: sure.. thx Seveas [21:19] how do I do a dist upgrade via command line? [21:19] I'd like to install a server on a veeery old machine... (1997, amd K6 / 200 something..) is there an ubuntu server edition with a syslinux kernel? (for old configs.. :) [21:19] solexious: yesa c+ will work with 'any' distro !cool! but python has been most popular recently (@linuxquestions.org userchoice poll) [21:19] zulerdongle, no, I'd say one would need much more than that [21:19] danand : which one ?? [21:19] kasi: give vlc a chance it is not a pluggin for firexox but might work ... [21:19] arakthor, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:19] had to clear Chatzilla I'm back for more [21:19] x89xx - just thinking, it may be an idea to prevent that other sound card from loading its drivers at all... maybe worth blacklisting them [21:19] Plz help... Firefox giving error that application gecko has crashed [21:20] Seveas: can I use it to jump to 8.04? [21:20] hey how do I competely remove bind and reinstall [21:20] Plz help... Firefox giving error that application gecko has crashed [21:20] zulerdongle: yes, there's a bunch of stuff that's not on the cd, if you don't get them your install will break [21:20] !repeat | kranny [21:20] kranny: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:20] kasi: i sam out of ideas, sorry ... [21:20] how do i go that danand [21:20] arakthor, only if you know what you're doing [21:20] seveas : how come? I mean i have the alternate cd with all the files and dont want to install any online updates.. [21:20] zulerdongle: the update for 7.10 is about that size yes (excluding the 7.04 to 7.10 update) [21:20] one_matthias: ok thanks [21:20] Seveas:sorry [21:20] zulerdongle, the online updates contain critical bugfixes [21:20] PeP`, I have installed debian on a machine not too far from that in the past (though was an intel something or other I think). Might be an idea to look at devian over ubuntu [21:20] i dint get you [21:21] it's very recommended to install them [21:21] kasi: your spanish ? [21:21] seveas and hspass : thanks guys just wanted to make sure [21:21] kranny have you asked your question on Mozilla forums? [21:21] one_matthias: no norwegian :P [21:21] Antkin:Yes [21:21] hihihi!!!! [21:21] Squawk: ok, thanks for the advice... [21:21] do you know what kasi means ? [21:21] kasi, well, that's nextdoor to spain ;) [21:21] I need a little bit of help please. [21:21] no [21:21] I was advised to deactivate plugins [21:21] 'sup Nub9001 [21:21] kasi: do you know what kasi means ? [21:21] one_matthias: no [21:21] kasi: almoast ... [21:21] !ask | Nub9001 [21:22] Nub9001: 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. :-) [21:22] zulerdongle: for example, libc6 in gutsy is newer in gutsy; if an app you have installed requires that newer libc , it'll break unless you upgrade that as well. [21:22] I renamed my user thingy due to a spelling mistake and it said I coiuld change the name of the home folder too but i did and now i can't login to gnome D: [21:22] Antkin:But it crashes when i start firefox [21:22] x89x - in a terminal type cat /proc/asound/modules - you should get two modules listed - one of them should be snd_emu10k1. that is for your sb_live card. the other will be for your onboard sound. if you can find out that we can stop the kernel from loading it [21:22] kasi I like Norwegians they gave me a lot of help about Opera for my new Web Site [21:22] kasi: in spanish [21:22] Antkin:so its not a problem of website loading [21:22] !ot | one_matthias [21:22] one_matthias: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:22] Nub9001, user thingy? [21:22] gravemind: What was the error again? [21:23] zossso: submission failed too many times (seen in the plugin menu) [21:23] Squak, yeah, something like usermod blah blah [21:23] kasi: but typed different well good luck .. [21:23] Antkin: bluetooth ... [21:23] danand the two are : 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_emu10k1 [21:23] zossso: and "handshake failed" seen at teh bottom left corner of the rhythmbox main window when I'm at the last.fm streams screen [21:23] kranny what version of Firefox do you have? [21:23] Antkin: have experiance with bluetooth ? [21:23] Antkin:2.0.0.8 [21:24] Squawk. It still had my home folder listed with /misspelledname/home, so I just changed it :D [21:24] Nub9001, you used usermod to change a users home dir, or something else. Need to know exactly what you did before we can get a fix [21:24] what is the terminal version of irc called. isnt it something like iics or something? [21:24] zero88, irssi [21:24] what's wrong with this fstab line I can't get access to my bloody fat32 partiton UUID=47CA-9533 /home/jean/Partage vfat defaults,utf8,uid=jean,gid=jean,umask=007 [21:24] zero88: irssi [21:24] seveas Squawk thanks [21:24] anyone have experiance with bluetooth ? [21:24] Pelo: use numbers for uid and gid [21:24] Pelo, uid/gid should be numbers (probably 1000) [21:24] [q] Is there a development enviroment for gnome i can use in windows? [21:24] kranny Firefox is upto 2.0.0.12 now [21:24] Seveas, , prince_jammys thanks [21:25] squawk, it was a simple mistake, I just guess I need to change the name back to how it was before right? But how do I do that from a terminal? [21:25] x89x - ok. first lets create a backup copy of your blacklist file. do cp /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ~/blacklist.old [21:25] Pelo: if you are jean, then type in terminal:: echo $UID to verify your id (which is probably 1000) [21:25] Nub9001, if its a simple name change of a directory mv olddir newdir [21:25] one_matthias No not a bluetooth user [21:25] Antkin:Yes But can i know the reason n what is gecko [21:25] gravemind: Seen this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/190383 [21:25] Antkin: okey, thank you [21:25] Squawk, I was under the impression that mv moved the folder...? [21:25] I really really really hope someone can help me. I somehow managed to mess up my permissions. Everything got set to 777 and now I can't boot into the system other than in recovery mode. Is there a script or something that I can run to set all file permissions to what they should be? [21:26] done danand [21:26] Nub9001, mv is the same as rename (essentialy). If you specify a name that already exists, it will get overwridden [21:26] prince_jammys, I am jean and 1000 is correct, let me remount [21:26] Nub9001, overwitten [21:26] MasterAslan: did you mess with permissions only, or also with ownership? [21:26] But that would overwrite everything I have in said folder? [21:27] x89x - then we need to add a single line containing the text snd_hda_intel to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. you must do this as root ie gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then add snd_hda_intel at the end of the file [21:27] kranny gecko is the power behind firefox, please go to Mozilla and search gecko there [21:27] no [21:27] used chmod [21:27] does that modify both? [21:27] Nub9001, if the newname already exists then it will probably throw up an error actually, but since you say you already moved it to the wrong name, surely teh right name doesnt exist? [21:27] what is a good network print server hardware that works good with ubuntu and windows? [21:27] MasterAslan: no, when you say "everything" you mean your home dir? [21:28] zossso: no, how did you find that? but I guess that makes sense. looks like there's nothing I can do about it then [21:28] snd_hda_intel or 0 snd_hda_intel [21:28] Squawk, there is no longer a folder called /usernaem/home. I changed it to /username/home. [21:28] danand : do i have to put that 0 ? [21:28] x89x - after you've done that just save the file. that should prevent the kernel from loading that module at boot [21:28] Nub9001, it should be /home/username you know [21:28] embarassingly no...to try to get access again I hit chmod 777 /* -R so that will screw everything up [21:28] x89x - no ... just snd_hda_intel [21:28] stupid thing to do I know [21:28] Squawk, my mistake D: [21:28] /SET print_active_channel ON [21:28] Nub9001, if hte newdirectory doesnt exist, then just change it, [21:28] computer09809 I use a HP 3180 all in one for my network [21:28] gravemind: googled `last.fm ubuntu "submission failed too many times"` Might try to change password like they suggest. It seems to work for me though. [21:28] danand : there is no save option !!!!! [21:29] danand : its grayed out [21:29] Nub9001, cd to /home and "mv usernaem username" [21:29] MasterAslan: big mess [21:29] i need to migrate an ubuntu install from one hard drive to another... any suggestions for the best way to go? [21:29] Squawk, so I type mv /home/usernaem and it will work again without losing anything i previously had right? [21:29] zossso: does it mean change the password on the last.fm site? [21:30] x89x - did you edit that file as root? type gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist then enter your password to edit that as root [21:30] gravemind: Yeah, both places [21:30] hey guys...i need some help with firestarter. for some reason when i first turn the pc on...i cant connect to the net. only after i start the firestarter and then stop it, theni can connect, [21:30] i might just tgz up the home dirs and /etc, grab a list of the installed packages, reinstall from scratch, install the missing packages, and fix up the UUID-based stuff in /etc... but i'm wondering if anyone knows a better way. [21:30] what is the best way to make ubuntu look better than it already does...withought completety ruining computer resources? [21:31] stevecasper: you can probably do a lot with GTK themes... [21:31] used ubuntu 7.04 on a p3hp >a bug (treating the ata as a sata with recurring boot errors) that made booting a 20+min affair stopped me (even live) >how would I know if 7.10 has fixed the bug? (i'm new to searching ubuntu resources) [21:31] Nub9001, no, type "mv /home/usernaem /home/username" and it will move the directory to the right name. This may not solve the issue of course, it just does that you asked me to tell you what to do (namely rename the directory) [21:31] zossso: ok I'll see if I can duplicate their results [21:31] danand : Dont i didnt know about that root thing [21:31] booster: how you checked your firewall rules to see if its blocking port 80? [21:31] !themes | stevecasper [21:31] stevecasper: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:31] booster I tried Firestarter the other day and ended up removing it [21:31] gravemind: It seems like the banshee app might work better for you though [21:31] done danand [21:31] Can some one help please it doesnt seem like my thing is getting real internet everything says its connected but nothing with internet works here's my Ifconfig iwconfig resolv.conf and a ping http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58169/ [21:31] Squawk, that seems promising. Thank you. I may be back in a few moments though needing more help :} [21:31] hey what does this error mean rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused [21:31] * o7andrew watches stevecasper's v. closely and thinks to gnome-look.org also [21:31] gravemind: I read something about banshee working better with last.fm anyway [21:32] oooh wow..lasts of replies...thanks [21:32] now I'm just wishing I hadn't done this as LVM otherwise I would repartition with gparted and save all my gigs of files to a new partition and reinstall [21:32] zossso: alright, I'll give it a shot if this doesn't work [21:32] x89x - ok that should do it. that entry in that file will stop the kernel from loading that module :) [21:32] gravemind: good luck [21:32] Darkmystere, can you ping your router? [21:32] zossso: thanks [21:32] Seveas, prince_jammys ok my permisson stuff is sorted out but I'm now told the disk is read only , it's a partiton on my hdd [21:32] stevecasper: my answer was just a subset of what the bot provided, it gave you concrete information for where to look for the themes i vaguely referred to. :) [21:32] danand : i am trying to use virtualbox. what the hard disk image thing ? [21:33] Pelo: you can probably do without the "defaults" option [21:33] never mind about the firstarter question i had...i just figured it out..lol [21:33] Ok guys lil help getting my laptop to boot -.- I was trying to get a background image for GRUB so I made the resolution 800x600, the colors 24bit, and used a program to set the image to grub background. Now when i boot recovery i get: VFSL: cannot open root device "(long string" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions: (next line) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to root [21:33] how do i update java? [21:33] prince_jammys, thanks [21:33] thanks every1 ~~~~~ [21:33] Pelo: here's the line i use for mine:/dev/sda3 /mnt/share vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077 0 0 [21:34] Seveas: apt-get dist-upgrade does not upgrade my 6.06 server to anything beyond a new kernel for 6.06. I also tried using update-manager-core, however that had to effect (found no new versions). Any suggestions? [21:34] prince_jammys, let me have a go [21:34] Pelo: you can adjust the permissions, of course [21:34] DOES ANYONE know how to update java? [21:34] arakthor, yeah, edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to edgy. Then dist-upgrade. Then do the same to get to feisty and then to gutsy [21:35] Seveas: thanks [21:35] arakthor, or wait 2 months, direct upgrading from dapper to hardy will be supported [21:35] Ok guys lil help getting my laptop to boot -.- I was trying to get a background image for GRUB so I made the resolution 800x600, the colors 24bit, and used a program to set the image to grub background. Now when i boot recovery i get: VFSL: cannot open root device "(long string" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions: (next line) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to root [21:35] x89x - virtualbox emulates a hard disk by using a file it creates on your system ... very clever stuff.... the files or disk images can get quite big though. what OS are you trying to install in virtualbox? [21:35] Seveas: I unforunately need to upgrade to get a new version of autoconf so it supports some of the work I am doing [21:35] box A and B are behind different NATs. How to ssh from A to B ? [21:35] does the blue background in video playback in mplayer and vlc only occur if you're running compiz or beryl? [21:36] arakthor, err, why not just install the newer autoconf? [21:36] LimCore: get B's NAT to forward port 22 to the box behind it [21:36] windows open office uses java it did all the update during the last upgrade [21:36] danand : i want to run Microsoft Visual studio [21:36] windows_: are you using Sun's Java [21:36] yeah i am [21:36] prince_jammys, getting better, I have now have full permission for the folder but i can't mess with any of the files in it [21:36] Starnestommy: can't set up forwards on NAT [21:36] x89x, then install windows [21:37] Seveas: I feel it is more work to update all the packages it depends (which is lot, since all the libraries need upgrading) [21:37] Squawk, it seems to have done what I wanted :} Thanks. I just wasn't sure how to go about changing it =/ [21:37] LimCore - you need to set up your boxes with NAT to forward the ssh stuff to the correct hosts [21:37] prince_jammys, this is what my line looks like now UUID=47CA-9533 /home/jean/Partage vfat utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 [21:37] LimCore, then you're screwed [21:37] I have windows [21:37] whats the difference between a x86 and 4 arch? [21:37] 64* [21:37] you need a forward to the server [21:37] x89x, we are very sorry for you [21:37] you mwan windows in virtaul box danand ?? [21:37] windows_: Have you tried System->Administration->Update Manager [21:37] yeah it syas no updates [21:37] x89x - yuck :P - what programming language are you using that for? [21:37] Nub9001, research "linux basics, or bash basics, or command line basics", just to get aquainted with linux simple operations [21:37] i have java 1.4 i need 1.5 for frostwire [21:38] Pelo: make sure there's a space after umask=000. also check the permissions of the mount point [21:38] danand : Visual C# and am trying to learn XNA and have to learn C++ and JAVA in next semester [21:38] You can do visual basic in Wine [21:38] Has anyone got an idea why 'crontab: command not found'? [21:39] danand : CAn i get NTFS write access in ubuntu?> [21:39] windows_: What version of ubuntu? [21:39] prince_jammys, when I try to sudo rm a file in it I'm told the FS is read only [21:39] x89x - you may want to look at the kdevelop package - that supports loads of languages and is really quite good. [21:39] when i'm using screen, bash color codes seem to be ignored. googling indicates this is probably due to a lack of termcap info for screen. anyone know how i can fix this? [21:39] danand : is it ! gotta check it out [21:40] zossso: seems like it submitted my queued tracks [21:40] used ubuntu 7.04 on a p3hp >a bug (treating the ata as a sata with recurring boot errors) that made booting a 20+min affair stopped me (even live) >how would I know if 7.10 has fixed the bug? (i'm new to searching ubuntu resources) [21:40] Pelo: you remounted it after changing fstab, correct? [21:40] gravemind: cool then it works? [21:40] x89x - i think ntfs write is enabled by default nowadays - not entirely sure though - i don't use windows at all anymore :) [21:40] mopped, is you user in the cron group? [21:40] prince_jammys, several times [21:40] it turns out im not Squawk! :P [21:40] prince_jammys, mount -a right ? [21:40] hi all [21:40] zossso: it submitted the queued ones, but it's not submitting the ones I listen to now [21:41] you know how applications go gray when they stop responding? [21:41] well, pidgin went gray and it's responding fine now, but it's won't "ungray" itself [21:41] brunner Welcome do you have a problem? [21:41] windows_: what does `sudo update-java-alternatives --list` output? [21:41] or rather, the window manager won't return it to normal [21:41] Pelo: strange. you shouldn't even have to sudo. do sudo umount /home/jean/Partage and then just sudo mount /home/jean/Partage [21:41] Antkin: yes, I just stated it [21:41] empty_tin_can: still there? [21:41] gravemind: strange. is it the same error, or just stall at `Connecting...` [21:42] empty_tin_can: had to be away :) [21:42] danand: thats great >me2 ,I'm only using wolvix and I'm loving xfce,youtube,showmedo and waiting v.patiently for ubuntu to work well on this defective box arrgh" [21:42] how do I restart my window manager? [21:42] empty_tin_can: you got ftp server working? [21:42] zossso: it was a different error, but actually right now it says "OK" [21:42] brunner ctrl+alt+backspace [21:42] brunner your a faster typer than me sorry [21:42] brunner: ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE will restart X-Server [21:42] prince_jammys, it sort of takes a few seconds for the padlock emblem to appear on the files when I open the folder [21:42] Ok guys lil help getting my laptop to boot -.- I was trying to get a background image for GRUB so I made the resolution 800x600, the colors 24bit, and used a program to set the image to grub background. Now when i boot recovery i get: VFSL: cannot open root device "(long string" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions: (next line) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to root [21:43] danand : I cant copy or create a flder in my NTFS partition [21:43] brunner - /etc/init.d/gdm restart should work too [21:43] zossso it syas this java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun [21:43] java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [21:43] danand: wouldn't that log me out? [21:43] prince_jammys, and the files properties all show that I have read/write access to those fies [21:43] gravemind: kind of flaky i think. Mine just says connecting... [21:43] I don't want to restart X [21:43] I just want to kill my window manager and restart it [21:43] brunner, can yo unot just kill pidgin and restart it? [21:43] brunner, you want to kill metacity ? [21:44] I'm running with desktop effects, and I'm not sure if that's called compiz or beryl [21:44] brunner, compiz-fusion [21:44] Pelo: isn't it compiz that's making it go gray? [21:44] zossso: yeah. I'm waiting to see if the songs end up on my last.fm profile [21:44] and not metacity? [21:44] brunner: beryl doesnt exist enymore [21:44] okay [21:44] windows_: `sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun` should work [21:44] so can I not just restart compiz-fusion? [21:44] brunner - yes that would - same sort of thing. Save all your work before you do that === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [21:44] brunner, should be a beryl icon in the icon tray. right click on it and select reload window manager. [21:44] brunner, not sure what therest of the problem is I was jsut trying to help you identify the window manager [21:44] gravemind: let me check mine too [21:44] lates" [21:45] zossso: it's working for me now [21:45] does anyone know if it's possible to have screenlets in dapper? [21:45] gravemind: excellent! [21:45] brunner, right click the desktop , select change wallpaper, sselect the last tab and check the no - desktop effect box , or waht ever it it called [21:45] brunner: metacity --replace [21:45] zossso: how about yours? [21:45] lo [21:45] o7andrew Do you have a problem? [21:46] brunner: that will set windows handler back to metacity [21:46] gravemind: yup. it stays on connecting, but it does scrobble [21:46] Pelo: do this:: mount | grep vfat and paste the line here [21:46] x89x - check the contents of your /etc/fstab file... check that the filesystem is mounted rw (ie read write) also check that you have permission to write to the filesystem [21:46] does anyone know if it's possible to have screenlets in dapper? [21:46] prince_jammys, /dev/sda3 on /home/jean/Partage type vfat (rw,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000) [21:47] zossso: cool -- [21:47] Pelo: excellent. that did the trick! thank you so much [21:47] x89x - check the output of ls -l /ntfs_mountpoint to see who owns that [21:47] zossso: I [21:47] K guys i really need to get this computer to boot -.- I was trying to get a background image for GRUB so I made the resolution 800x600, the colors 24bit, and used a program to set the image to grub background.

[21:48] wrath144 it is a good place to start with questions [21:48] danand : the second ls -l /ntfs_mountpoint gioves an error saying No such file or directory [21:49] antkin: and this isn't? [21:49] anyone tried the BootToRAM thing seen here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [21:49] wrath144 this is my second choice [21:50] x89x - you need to replace /ntfs_mountpoint with the actual mountpoint of the disk/partition ie /media/hda1 or whatever it is?? [21:50] x89x - :) [21:50] Tu13es: nice. haven't yet, but I'll have to try that sometime [21:50] Hello im trying to soft link something and using first: su .

So i type: su . but it asks for a password, what should i type? :o [21:52] Pelo: ok so the only difference i can see between yours and mine is the utf8 option you used.

[21:58] icanhasadmin: whichever one is called ati [21:58] wait, does it just run gnome-keyboardshortcuts? [21:58] icanhasadmin: modinfo ati [21:58] zugu - there is one installed by default but you can easily add others by using the synaptics package manager [21:58] synaptic* [21:58] zugu: there is. gnome-bittorrent is default [21:58] seanochoa, I thnk so [21:58] bruenig: could not find module ati [21:59] zugu: i find transmission is a good bittorrent client [21:59] icanhasadmin: hmmm [21:59] zugu, deluge-torrent is in the repos and a few of us ( like a lot) like to run utorrent on wine [21:59] rtorrent is good [21:59] there was something called Alacarte in ubuntu dapper, how can I edit menus in ubuntu 7.10? there's no Alacarte [21:59] that is what I use === ubuntu is now known as random3 [21:59] bruenig: Exactly. and XORG is eating my CPU, even irc is slow! i can't figure it what it is but i suspect video driver issue [21:59] brobostigon, transmission will be default in 8.04 as I understand [21:59] zugu: edit .desktop files in /usr/share/applications [21:59] zugu: At the bottom of your menu, there's "Menu Editor" which is alacarte [22:00] hi, using grub you can easily change the sources mirror with a drop down. Is there any way to change the mirror to say the virginmedia.com mirror from the command line other than manually editing the sources.list? [22:00] what's the best distro to install on a p4? [22:00] bruenig: alacarte was more straightforward for me [22:00] pelo: i would agree [22:00] ok [22:00] o [22:00] zugu: right click on the menus and select "Edit" === p3t3r_ is now known as p3t3r__ [22:00] zossso:, ah, interesting, I'll have a look [22:00] zugu: alacarte is not straight forward as it is abstracted, I am just telling you one way you can go about it [22:00] we're setting up an old computer at the pizza shop for an internet surfer. should i go fiesty or is there something lighter?

[22:04] flowOver - you might consider xubuntu. that runs well on older hardware. if the comuter is really low on ram etc you could consider using damn_small_linux (DSL), feather linux, puppy linux.... they work very well on older hardware [22:04] khaotik I am a web designer what help do you need exactly? [22:04] seanochoa, I know it can be done, but I don't know how, I would recommend you check in the forum , www.ubuntuforums.org [22:04] yeah xfce is nice looking. was checking that out last night [22:05] DSL might be enough === zosso is now known as zossso [22:05] maybe then without all the bloat, flash won't crash X [22:05] i need to update my companys "instant update scrolling bar on our main page and i cant find where our webmaster keeps that file [22:05] * Pelo thought xcfe looked nice too but was disapointed by how not simple it was for his newbie aunt [22:05] I find kde to work better on older hardware, at least like 500mhz, 500MB ram [22:05] khaotik, try asking in #htm or #html [22:05] anyone know how to change the default window size of xterm?

[22:07] can anyone help i tried different methods to get nvidia drivers installed but it doesnt enable 3d [22:07] khaotik what is the URL? Do you have ftp acces? [22:07] Draco, I might go back and install puppy linux on her box , seemed simple enough [22:08] RequinB4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-616e8477b76f70cdd317812fef0ac88b248e25b4 [22:08] flowOver: so you need something very light then [22:08] Antkin: do you mind if i send u a PM?

Thats just for a splash. [22:08] evenfor just the games? [22:08] I guess nowadays XForms stands for something else entirely, but 10 years ago it was a light, proprietary toolkit, and xfce wasn't much more than a toolbar. The windowmanager was a mildly modified fvwm. [22:08] RequinB4: er, no wait, that's right. that howto will let you do it.

[22:17] ok thanks, can i ask for help? im tryin o set up a wireless internet connection from a d-link dwl-g122 usb wireless adapter running on a simplymepis live cd but so far i've had no luck. i read a lot of forums but i'm very confused. iwconfig only shows eth0 (im connecting by ethernet adsl modem now) and says no wireless extension. ndiswrapper -l shows a list of drivers but no one with a nearby "hardware detected" line, lsusb - [22:17] !envy is a terrible idea [22:18] later folks [22:18] jack_sparrow he said his mouse wasn't working as well so he had to change it to a usb one to get it working [22:18] Hi, i downloaded a daily ppc build of hardy and i was expecting it to be a live cd, but then it started walking me through installation. am i doing something wrong? [22:18] arig: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks [22:18] RomeReactor, envy has never beeen suggested or supported here [22:18] !envy [22:18] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [22:18] Flannel: Not really. The kernel in question is a) my default kernel and b) is custom patched (but has been working for months) [22:19] Jack_Sparrow: Although I don't use it presonally, I don't think it's 'terrible' [22:19] Jack_Sparrow: and he alresdy said the restricted drivers manager did not install the drivers [22:19] jack_sparrow my friend said it's like it;'s not recongising the ps2 ports cause he had a ps2 mouse and that wouldnt work either so he got a usb on and it worked [22:20] can i ask for help? im tryin to set up a wireless internet connection from a d-link dwl-g122 usb wireless adapter running on a simplymepis live cd but so far i've had no luck. i read a lot of forums but i'm very confused. iwconfig only shows eth0 (im connecting by ethernet adsl modem now) and says no wireless extension. ndiswrapper -l shows a list of drivers but no one with a nearby "hardware detected" line, lsusb --vv shows [22:20] RomeReactor, Still is not something to be suggested to users here [22:20] !repeat | azel [22:20] azel: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:22] Hey guys i'm trying to get internet on Ubuntu 7.10 with a Quest modem but it doesn't seem to want to connect with ethernet. [22:22] tim167: try links also [22:22] Flannel: any further ideas? I'm pretty perplexed because the error seems to occurr after grub [22:22] Squawk: but lsusb -vv shows the usb wifi adaptor attached to the usb bus [22:22] how do i host domains on ubuntu??????????????????????????????????/ [22:22] wow, many options to try, thanks all :) [22:23] RequinB4: Its bad kernel params, GRUB has passed stuff off to said kernel, and then the kernel is choking. Pastebin your menu.lst, we'll see whats going on [22:23] does ssh use port 22? [22:23] pyrak: by default, yes [22:23] Impy^, I cant see how a ps2 keyboard is the problem. I would lose the usb mouse and try any other ps2 mouse [22:23] Flannel: ok, but let me try something real quick first - saw a (probably nothing) inconsistant setting in that program i used [22:23] i installed ubuntu 7.10 seems to me that didn't found my sound card, anyway to fix it? [22:23] jack_sparrow he had a ps2 mouse and it wouldn't recongise that either [22:24] Flannel, how do you make it use a different port? [22:24] Dr_House: what doe dmesg and lspci and lshw return?? [22:24] Flannel, on both the host and the client [22:24] how do i host domains on ubuntu?????????????????????????????????????????????? [22:24] Impy^, he has some sort of other hardware issue [22:24] question: what to diagnose when nothing happens after upsplash ? [22:24] brobostigon, translate [22:24] Itaku, please stop that.

Any of you guys know of anyway to try and fix this issue? [22:25] Dr_House: run dmesg, and lshw in terminal, and pastebin the results [22:25] ok [22:25] Flannel, is it necessary to use the same port on the client as on the host? [22:25] !pastebin | Dr_House [22:25] Dr_House: 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) [22:25] Hi there,i have problem on the MSN messenger network where I appear offline to certain contacts when I am online. I am using Pidgin but it happened on kmess and aMSN as well. The contacts who I appear offline to are always the same, and the same on all clients. Can anyone help? :) [22:25] pyrak: You don't "use" a port on the client, you connect to a specific port. and yes, the port you connect to has to be the same as the one that's being listened to [22:26] Hey... I installed bastille and ran it, but now I can't login with one of my accounts.

I tried adding the root= lineto no avail [22:28] vox: loading hangs after upsplash [22:28] roffles: #ubuntuforums [22:28] ty [22:28] Dr_House: got it, one minute, i need to read it [22:28] azel, Didnt Warren move away from using ubuntu as his base setup? [22:29] hey guys Im getting no sound at all.... It was working before, any help would be appreciated. [22:29] volvos: when you get to the grub menu, edit "quiet usplash" from the second line and then boot [22:29] Flannel: i also think its quite a generic issue this one im talkin about [22:29] azel, try the web for Mepislovers [22:29] im experiencing a minor bug with a compiz animation. the when windows change focus, they fade windows in and out. sometimes a window while it has focus will just fade out though, then i have to change focus then go back. [22:29] Flannel, so is it good practice to use a port other than 22 for ssh, to avoid random traffic, or does it not matter? [22:30] flowOver, /j #Compiz for the latest fixes [22:30] ... can i ask for help? im tryin to set up a wireless internet connection from a d-link dwl-g122 usb wireless adapter but so far i've had no luck. i read a lot of forums but i'm very confused. iwconfig only shows eth0 (im connecting by ethernet adsl modem now) and says no wireless extension. ndiswrapper -l shows a list of drivers but no one with a nearby "hardware detected" line, lsusb --vv shows the d-link dwl-g122 and its c [22:30] pyrak: you can, that's one of the easiest ways to get away from so much spam in your logs. you can also use something like DenyHosts to block spammers.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:30] prettyricky, Sounds like you need to recompile alsa.. and use ver 15 not 16 [22:30] Flannel, so what port would you recommend? [22:31] pyrak: It doesn't matter as long as it's not something used for something else. [22:31] azel, And no this is not the place for you to ask for help, there are differences [22:31] pyrak: something you can remember is usually a good thing. [22:31] Dr_House: its showing loads of pci errors, thats probebly why it not working, i am not sure how to interpret those errors. [22:31] Jack Sparrow----> how do I do that??? [22:31] brobostigon, any advice? [22:31] Dr_House: as i have never seen those kind of errors before [22:31] hello to everyone! [22:31] Jack_Sparrow: you have an odd definition of 'support' [22:31] Flannel, that's the thing, i don't know what other things use :/ how about 33? [22:32] ok [22:32] "sounds like you need to recompile" << now on the list of reasons why linux is not ready for the desktop [22:32] regeya, We do not support Mepis... [22:32] thx anyway brobostigon [22:32] how do i fix this [22:32] sudo: cd: command not found [22:32] cd is a shell built in [22:32] Itaku: why would you need to sudo cd [22:32] permission denied [22:32] Dr_House: sorry i couldnt help [22:32] Itaku: `sudo cd` doesn't actually do anything productive [22:32] brobostigon, :) [22:33] Itaku: I think what you really want to do is allow your user to access the directory [22:33] Tu13es: I get pretty far, it stalls at mounting root filesystem [22:33] maybe sudo bash -c "cd" [22:33] probably fail though [22:33] oh heh...sorry, Jack_Sparrow [22:33] Hey Ho [22:33] i am trying to modify the Places/ option in the Gnome Panel of Ubuntu 7.10.Can anybody tell me which file i have to change?. [22:33] zossso: hm [22:33] because it opens a subshell to do that, then closes it afterwards [22:33] though I do see you spend a great deal of time telling people to go elsewhere...sorry. [22:33] nvm [22:33] i used sudo su [22:33] ok then lets try to be generic, i have a wifi usb adapter but i cant bring it up coz i have no interface for it . there is no wifi0 if i type iwconfig. i only have eth0 because right now i-m connecting through a etherned adsl modem. the usb wifi adapter is correctly plugged in and if i type lsusb -v it shows me its information (model etc) and it says its connected to the usb bus. [22:33] :) [22:34] Tu13es: Rather, Waiting for root filesystem... [22:34] Itaku, what are you trying to do.. sudo su is not a good idea [22:34] Itaku: Don't use sudo su. Use `sudo -i` to get a root prompt. But, why do you want a root prompt anyway? [22:34] so what should i do [22:34] Jack_Sparrow do you know any good news reader for ubuntu (except nzb i have already tried it)? [22:34] Jack_Sparrow, trying to get into /root [22:34] leniwy: knode [22:34] Itaku, use sudo command..... [22:34] sudo: cd: command not found [22:34] azel: S.M. is based on debian, not ubuntu. But still, try an Ubuntu CD, see if it works. [22:35] Itaku, cd ..

I searched the forums and this seems to be a known bug [22:35] Itaku: "sudo cd ~" [22:35] you can cd into any folder. no super user privaledges needed [22:35] sudo cd is useless [22:35] Itaku, or cd / [22:35] Itaku: why are you trying to get into /root? sudo cd does nothing. [22:35] thanx vox & psychoman [22:35] cuz i got permission denied [22:35] flowOver, not if he has restricted permissions (personaly I lock down /root) [22:35] Could anybody tell me how i add link to the gnome Planel/Places folder? [22:36] wow, I love konversation a lot better then gnome xchat === justin__ is now known as endo [22:36] Itaku: Just because you've been denied doesn't mean you need to go there. Please, tell us what you're trying to ultimately accomplish. [22:36] how do i kno if i have compiz or compiz-fusion.. or are they the same [22:36] aghachi: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:36] Flannel: ubuntu is based on debian [22:36] 7.10 gusty [22:36] aghachi: You have -fusion [22:37] Flannel: also when u login on mepis it says: Debian and Ubuntu help power the magic of Mepis.......... . [22:37] but thats not the point [22:37] azel: Simply put, this is not the correct place for your support requests. Please ask the Simply Mepis people. If they refuse to help, then maybe you should try a distro with a community that will help. [22:37] im just askin for some geniric help about configuring a wifi usb adapter! gosh [22:37] yay! so now my question is how do i get the cool effects when they close the programs... like ones i see on youtube, do i have to download more effects? [22:37] aghachi what about gutsy 7.10 do you have a problem? [22:38] 1250 ppl in the chat nobody can help? === endo is now known as joint [22:38] Hey! I'm trying to install Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in wine, and I'd like to create an ISO out of the dvd so I don't always have to have the disk... how can I do this? [22:38] azel, and we are telling you this is the wrong place to ask [22:38] antkin: no, thanx tho i was just telling some1 my ver so they tell me wat ver of compiz i have [22:38] Antkin: Are you still ready to help me out...? [22:38] i dont think this is the wrong place since im askin help about a debian and ubuntu based distro. [22:39] azel, Please stop, this is also not a discussion room [22:39] how do i make ubuntu do a fake resolution? ie. how can i install ubuntu with 640x480 resolution? [22:39] Nedrah Yes but you were not sending messages that I could read [22:39] Vovk: You can create the ISO simply (just dd to an iso file: dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso) but I'm unsure as to how wine deals with that. You might try asking in #winehq [22:40] I want to install a ATI-Driver on Ubuntu 7.10 manually (for compiz). If I change the driver at xorg.conf and reboot, the screen stay black, after starting the X-Server. Why? [22:40] Flannel: thanks [22:40] Does anyone have a handy guide on How-To get steam working in ubuntu 7.10? [22:40] Antkin: Strange, must have something to do with me using mirc right now? [22:40] wtf is the yes command for? [22:40] Itaku: it returns 'yes' over and over [22:40] Itaku: it returns true [22:40] i know whats the point of it though [22:40] Nedrah I use Chatzilla [22:41] soderqvist: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games [22:41] Antkin: Anyways... The installation crashes when I try to install ubuntu or verify cd integrity from that boot menu. I was able to install Ubuntu on my laptop without any problems. [22:42] Antkin: I am pretty sure it has something to do with my Nvidia 8800gt, but I am not sure how to solve the problem [22:42] psychoman pan newsreader has limited connection to 4 and my provider has 8 which is a pity to lose 4 connections [22:42] how coem my animations plugins doesnt work its checked but no animation [22:43] Nedrah have you asked your question on the Ubuntu forum? [22:44] Nedrah, if the cd integrity check on the start or install menu crashes you have a bad download or a bad burn [22:44] I want to install a ATI-Driver on Ubuntu 7.10 manually (for compiz). If I change the driver at xorg.conf and reboot, the screen stay black, after starting the X-Server. Why? [22:44] Antkin: Nope, I just did a quick search there and it seems this is a known bug with Nvidia 8xxx cards and 64bit Ubuntu. [22:44] wrong driver [22:45] I don't think so, sladigar. [22:45] Morg, It must not be detecting your monitor v/h correctly [22:45] Jack_Sparrow: I am pretty sure that's not it. There seems to be a solution that has something to do with deleting some "splash" line [22:45] It's the newest Linux-driver from the ATI-Site, for x86_64. [22:46] i am getting a Xlib extension GLX missing on display ":0.0" [22:46] try reducing the res to 1280x786 [22:46] Nedrah, you can hit esc on boot. e to edit e agin to edit the boot line then remove splash and quiet [22:46] usser: im new to ubuntu and finding it difficult to install steam:S [22:46] Nedrah can you change the card? [22:47] soderqvist: under Wine, i assume? [22:47] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, great. What will happen after that, do I still get to install just like on my laptop? I am doing a dual-boot setup here, so I need to be able to configure my partitions [22:47] Antkin: Nope, unfortunately that's not an option. But as I said, it installed great on my laptop, which has a Nvidia 6600go [22:47] anyone know how to make irssi work with tor? [22:47] RequinB4: yes I have Wine [22:48] Nedrah, my 6600 is fine as well. [22:48] soderqvist: steam should install perfectly under wine, just do 'wine /directory/path/whatever/setup.exe' [22:48] is there a way....of getting more to fit onto my dektop....running 1024*768...could it be possible to make it more like 1280*1024? [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: What will I be missing if I disable "splash" and "quiet"? Do I still get the normal installer` [22:48] ? [22:48] Nedrah, hit F6 at start or install.. remove splash and quiet and it will not effect the install [22:48] Nedrah have you read my guide to dual booting on ubuntu forums? [22:49] how do i make my screen a virtual 800x600? so when i move mouse down the desktop scrolls down? [22:49] Antkin: Yes, it's great, that's how I did a dual-boot setup on the laptop, and it's working like a charm. Thanks for that one :) [22:49] Antkin, his problem is not the dual boot but the installer [22:49] tripppy: No idea, but i'm curiuos why you would want to do that? [22:49] what it do? I'm having some windows conversion problems. this website needs me to install some files in the 'font' folder of my browser. I have firefox running on my 7.10. where would I extract the files to? [22:50] free1, look for hidden folder .mozilla [22:50] free1, try extracting it to /home/username/.font or /.fonts I never remember [22:50] RequinB4, im trying to install ubuntu but i can't see the buttons along the bottum of the wizard. [22:50] Tu13es: Did you get it to boot yet? I might now the problem [22:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/147623 [22:51] tripppy: use the alternative cd [22:51] zossso: nope, i haven't been fiddling right nnow though [22:51] That's my issue. I just was not sure what would happen if I followed the advise there [22:51] trippy: or it may be just a resolution problem [22:51] Jack_Sparrow I never had any problems with the installer it worked first time for me on four computers [22:51] i know i can make it think its a 800x600 rez. [22:51] trippy: first try making your moniter auto-center the picture [22:51] ive done it before. [22:51] yeah its a eeepc [22:51] does any1 know how i can "trick" my laptop into running a higher res..so thats everything is smaller, and i can put more on my screen? [22:52] Antkin, There are many ways the installer can fail. [22:52] tripppy: the nvidia restricted drivers are needed on my box to do that kind of resolution emulation [22:52] Antkin: It's 64bit and Nvidia8*** specific [22:52] flowOver, kk [22:52] stevecasper, what res are you wanting to use [22:53] anyone know what I have installed or somthing if mplayer suddenly after installing som programs goes out of sync? (Got ati radeon x1250 and done aticonfig --ovt.... that worked before) [22:53] Jack_Sparrow: I found the .mozilla folder, but there was no font subfolder. any ideas? [22:53] Jack_Sparrow I'll bow down on that one [22:53] Nedrah, I have gotten it to work on 64bit with nvidia, but it was a pain [22:53] Pelo: I only have a .fontconfig folder. does that count? [22:53] if you've installed a 3rd-party version of a package, what's the command to revert to the gutsy version? [22:53] free1, look at what is in it , anyother fonts ? [22:53] free1, No idea, was just trying to point you to the firefox folder [22:53] i think i fixed my flash crashing firefox problem. i added a line to the firefox ini script and changed all my sound mixers to alsa [22:54] Jack_Sparrow: Should I download the 32bit version instead? looks like a waste when I have a 64bit cpu [22:54] i've now watched a dozen flash videos on youtube without a hitch [22:54] Nedrah, You will find there is very little difference is speed [22:54] running 1024*768....but everything is just soo big...i any res really that would make more space on my screen [22:54] stevecasper, what video card do you have [22:54] Pelo: actually some weird alphanumeric . cache2 files [22:54] free1, maybe the ppl in #firefox would know exactly what you need to do [22:54] unno === VD is now known as VanDyke [22:55] anyone know how to five ubuntu a vista look [22:55] Delta, I have returned from my shell spelunking.

[23:01] stevecasper: in my opinion [23:01] RaverWild, Sounds like you have a network card that is not supported or supported well with linux. [23:01] !LAMP [23:01] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:01] Jack_Sparrow, detAILs: i have pppoe connection to my provider which i setuped once to run pon at startup with my password so i dont have to type it everytime. so i put the windows to sleep and boot ubuntu. sometimes i have connection at startup, sometimes not.right now as it seems i have internet connection. by the way another fact that may not be linked to all this is sometimes on boot time i got my wifi switched on (i default leave it off) [23:01] RequinB4 Do you have a problem? [23:02] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Complete+Vista+Aero+theme+%28automated%29?content=72318 [23:02] u think i should give it a try? [23:02] Antkin - what? [23:02] that is wat im trying to install [23:02] I tried "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and it just .. Did nothing. [23:02] stevecasper: yea why not, [23:02] Hey guys. [23:02] joomlaNEWBIE, this is a theme ? just drag drop the tar.gz file into the theme manager [23:02] joomlaNEWBIE, Is that link working again? [23:02] oh [23:02] RequinB4 you have doutbs about this channel? [23:02] Does anyone know a player that will play .VOB files? [23:02] Jack_Sparrow, what i tried to fix it: 1) sometimes when i disable then enable the connection via nm-applet 0.6.5 as it appears graphical on the screen - it gets connected and i am happy ||||2) when 1) does not work, i pulled out the lan cable and put it back on --noticed that nm-applet does not detect the cable was pulled out at all [23:02] So anybody? [23:02] Invisionfree: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-server [23:03] jodde: vlc [23:03] !vlc [23:03] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[23:03] Jack_Sparrow, 3) did a "ps aux | grep ppp" in case something was loaded that conflicts with my pon, but got nothing - so this is useless||||4) according to 1) and 2) it seemed to me that maybe nm-applet does not work properly - so i killed it and ran it again with the option it was previously ran "nm-applet --sm-disable" - this does not helps and is useless also|||| [23:03] I can't play DVD files. [23:03] I mean, I could play a DVD disk, but not files. [23:03] Jack_Sparrow: wat link [23:03] Pelo, thanks for the tips. but none of them seem to be dealing with my specific problem. what is interesting is that if i reboot my computer now, it will work. but after i turn it off and on again, it won't :S then if i reboot, it works again [23:03] danand : you there ??

[23:23] Jack_Sparrow: yes i understand that, but i can not find one that is easy for a newbie like me to install [23:23] it's a pain in the ass, and bill gates' attempt to fuck up linux users. I don't know if there is a way to stop it or not [23:24] 'cause, after it has done that his laptop is nonfunctional until he restores from live CD [23:24] protip: serious? this could keep happening? [23:24] nemo install vista first then Linux [23:24] I don't think there is a way to prevent vista from overwriting the MBR [23:24] joomlaNEWBIE, there is no easy solution to give you what you want it to look like.

Is there any way to change this behaviour? [23:24] what horizontal and vertical for ?? [23:25] madmaxmad, try searching in the forum . www.ubuntuforums.org [23:25] Antkin: he had vista on there, then he installed ubuntu. for a while life was good, then poof, no more grub, no more booting [23:25] Tu13es: which version of Ubuntu are you trying? [23:25] asking most soldiers to not swear is like asking most people to type with their toes. [23:25] Antkin: we restore grub. works for a couple of boots. then bang. again [23:25] Pelo, I did and no luck. I can mount it when I boot with eSata hdd on but I cant hotplug it [23:25] protip, well, you'll have tro try anyway [23:25] x89x, h and v on the label at the back of your monitor, Horiz is usualy the one that is the problem [23:25] Thanks a lot, Pelo! It worked. [23:25] i want to configure graphics only in xorg [23:25] syl [23:25] I need help if someone is available :) [23:25] zossso: Gutsy. [23:25] jodde, which bit ? [23:25] I'm real new to Ubuntu. I pointed my mozilla at a YouTube address and the entire thing locked up. Suggestions? [23:25] The DVD info. [23:25] Lowke1: just toss your question out there [23:26] ;-) [23:26] but yeah, vista doesn't like installing on any but the primary partition, and usually demands it's partition to be flagged as MBR [23:26] I need help installing Java/Flash [23:26] !java [23:26] !flash [23:26] you and EnK. [23:26] 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) [23:26] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:26] nemo no booting at all? No Vista no Linux [23:26] protip: um.... partition to be flagged as mbr? wha? [23:26] Lowke1, install them from synaptic, make sure allt he repos are enabled first [23:26] Antkin: yes. 'sactly. [23:26] okay thanks Pelo [23:26] and Jack [23:26] Antkin: is like the boot loader vanishes. [23:26] run parted some time [23:26] Is Tor + Privoxy the best anonymizer setup native to Ubuntu? [23:27] if you are dual booting, one will be flagged as boot === gopp is now known as gopp_ === gopp_ is now known as gopp__ [23:27] libng2 it still asks me for that one usser [23:27] * Pelo waves hello to Dr_willis [23:27] nemo sorry to hear that I think you have to install Vista again [23:27] Tu13es: same here. only changes I made were using kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, and updated the /dev/hd? to match mine. [23:27] what program can i use to play dvd movies? [23:27] I'm stuck on trying to get linux to see a windows network [23:28] Antkin: no vista install disc - vista preinstall [23:28] and then getting a windows network to see my linux box [23:28] Installing, thanks Pelo [23:28] Lowke1, always look in synaptic [23:28] that's why they invented bittorrent, nemo [23:28] okay :) [23:28] Antkin: there has to be a way to make it stop it from doing this [23:28] thepiratebay is your friend. [23:28] *sigh* [23:28] !dvd | dannyboy [23:28] I was surpirsed I found VLC and Winrar in there [23:28] dannyboy: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [23:28] as long as you have a valid vista install key, it's legal [23:28] Jack_Sparrow: its not about wat i want it to look like its about installing it... thats the problem [23:28] you'll want the OEM install disk download. [23:29] Lowke1, you mean rar and unrar? :) not winrar? [23:29] Tu13es: noticed the casper dir is 2GB. don't know if that is a prob [23:29] my printer install file still asks for libng2 [23:29] yeah sorry [23:29] I was trying to install winrar and read a forum to just install rar unrar [23:29] bella: come again? [23:29] nemo did you buy the computer from new? [23:29] Lowke1, thats because the 3 are different. :) You can run winrar.exe with wine [23:29] Rarlabs does make Winrar for Linux but I couldn't figure out how to install it [23:29] bella: libpng2 maybe? [23:29] anyone know where the xchat-GNOME .conf file is stashed? [23:29] Antkin: I believe he did. he's 4000 miles away [23:29] lowkel: rar and unrar are the best things to use [23:29] protip, (lowke1): i suggest you do NOT give legal advice here [23:29] okay :D [23:30] joomlaNEWBIE, sometimes the tar.gz files from gnomelook are repackaged to include instructions, extract once and if there is another tar.gz in it put that in the theme manager [23:30] ...what? [23:30] legal advice? [23:30] they allow fileroller to access rarfiles [23:30] hmm [23:30] ok [23:30] Lowke1: rar is propriatary. [23:30] oh yes usser sorry [23:30] oh? [23:30] libpng2 [23:30] there are some interesting legal problems with the open-source versions. [23:30] bella: sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev [23:30] Lowke1: or maybe i was talking about nemo. anyway, what protip said about obtaining Vista [23:31] what in security.conf sets the number of file descriptors ? (aka ulimit -n ) [23:31] nemo he needs to contact the seller and explain Vista needs re installing [23:31] ok [23:31] Okay, he wasn't talking to me lol [23:31] I find that most of the time i can install that gnome-theme-manager tool, and drag/drop the various theme files to it - and it will install them for the current user. [23:31] Antkin: that will not be feasible [23:31] I cant get steam to work.. I have installed it and when i start steam it connects to my account but when its done connection I get an error "wine gecko"-something. And it quits? [23:31] Antkin: he is 1 day's drive from nearest town [23:31] Lowke1, this is a very busy channel, that's why it is important to use the nick of the person you are talkign to in every sentence , to avoid confusion , [23:31] Pelo: yes sir [23:32] Pelo: thanks [23:32] * Pelo feels old now [23:32] lmao [23:32] everyone shuts up as soon as I start addressing [23:32] rofl [23:32] I was wondering why everyone was calling me Lowke1 [23:32] soderqvist: it needs an html engine to render steam store page...and it prompts you to install it clikc install [23:32] nemo can he buy Vista on Amazon or manage without it totally and just have a Linux box [23:32] <-- supposed to say Lowkey [23:33] Antkin: there has to be a way to make Vista stop !@#$ with the MBR [23:33] Lowke1, auto complete on the nicks, first couple of letters then the tab key [23:33] Pelo: thanks [23:33] nemo: what are you trying to do? [23:33] Nemo: Get out your credit card, call your local computer store, and get ready to be F'd in the A by one windows vista [23:33] nemo, bitch to MS about it , or ask in ##windows [23:33] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> nemo, remove it? kidding [23:34] hey guys, why is it that sometimes, and only sometimes...my usb drive will automount and all, but will not let me write to it ? [23:34] nemo it's a microsoft market dominace thing sorry [23:34] if you already have a license for vista, it will be printed on the bottom of your laptop [23:34] like, it'll open up nautilus, but there will be a little lock next to all the folders in it [23:34] wubrgamer: permission problems [23:34] wubrgamer, what FS ? [23:34] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> wubrgamer, ntfs? [23:34] wubrgamer: that used to happen to me -- eventually I reformated it to fat32 and that fixed it [23:34] tinman: well. just was hoping people here knew more. but basically stop Vista from breaking the MBR [23:34] and you won't have to buy it. all you need to do is obtain a backup cd for the installation [23:34] usser: It just shows me the error message then quits I cant install it because it quits immidiately [23:35] package installer still calls for libpng2 after installing thje other things [23:35] nemo: it will over wrote the mbr, but the fix is easy anyways [23:35] soderqvist: type in terminal wine --version [23:35] tinman: but dropping it for now [23:35] fat32 [23:35] soderqvist: what version you got? [23:35] of wine? [23:35] it's a flash stick/drive etc etc not a spinning platter [23:35] soderqvist: yes [23:35] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> nemo, u wouldnt know more than ppl from ms since they wont open the code [23:35] wubrgamer: permission problems [23:35] yes, permission problems [23:36] wubrgamer, they are occasionnaly formated ntfs , but fat32 is more common [23:36] how do I make it AUTOMATICALLY mount with proper permissions [23:36] usser: 09.46 [23:36] i'm having problems when compiling some wifi drivers, says /usr/src/kernelversion/build directory is missing. this is a FRESH clean install of 7.10 server. [23:36] why is stuff already missing? [23:36] soderqvist: get the latest one from winehq.com [23:36] ok i just downloaded a .zip [23:36] oh ,I thought fat32 was the standard, to maintain mac compatibility [23:36] wubrgamer: edit fstab and add appropriate options [23:36] theni unziped it [23:36] soderqvist: makes a big difference [23:36] So does anyone here know how to get microsoft windows networking to see linux, and vice versa [23:36] there are a bunch folders inside of it [23:36] sdfwofs, sudo apt-get install build-essential ? [23:36] but it gets unplugged/replugged all the times [23:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sdfwofs, install linux-source? [23:36] Pelo, kick me [23:36] shouldn't the permissions be set properly by the mounting apparatus automatically ? [23:37] usser: it seems to work now:D:D [23:37] Does anyone know how to enable ssh logging of failed logins in lastb? (/var/log/btmp) [23:37] joomlaNEWBIE, check in each to see what is in them , there might be some instructions, if it is too complicated, try another theme [23:37] wubrgamer: you'll have to edit /etc/fstab and add apprpriate options [23:37] * Pelo kicks sdfwofs hard [23:37] is there another way ? [23:37] it's not in fstab, it's in mtab [23:37] protip does Samba help? [23:37] soderqvist: you still have to get the latest one, cause it improves significantly with every little realease [23:37] I'm trying to compile something from source, but the instructions aren't that clear, it says it needs Python 2.5, Qt 4+ and PyQt 4+ -- which packages do I need to satisfy these requirements? [23:37] wubrgamer: you can still ask fstab to do it, which i am doing [23:37] no still calls for the libpng2 [23:37] usser ok [23:37] I installed samba. it still doesn't see the computers on workgroup [23:38] just FYI ubuntu dev's...this is a MAJOR userfriendlyness issue [23:38] Pelo: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [23:38] no instructions [23:38] peace... [23:38] Pelo, I installed it from Syn [23:38] usser: do I need to go through installation again?

[23:38] ? [23:38] lemme look [23:38] bella: ha weird sudo apt-get install libpng12-0 [23:38] sdfwofs, no idea [23:39] soderqvist: no just install new wine deb your fake windows installation remains untouched [23:39] pelo; 9.0.48 flash ver [23:39] soderqvist: just follow the instructions for gutsy on winehq.com and you'll be fine [23:39] Lowke1, I thought java was the problem ?

[23:45] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> is there a ps2 emulator exists? [23:45] Pelo: don't rely on it too much :\ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources [23:45] Markgrafen Welcome [23:45] LjL, rely on wht ? [23:46] i think the default sound manager for ubuntu gutsy is buggy with nforce4. as soon as i changed it to alsa mixer, most of the bug's i've been experienceing have dissapeared [23:46] Pelo: on a "backports" label being there in software sources [23:46] i haven't tried running anything java yet today though [23:46] sun-java6-jre, right pelo? [23:46] LjL, ah [23:46] Lowke1, yes [23:46] [Hardy]TuTUXG: yes but it barely runs [23:46] applying :) [23:47] Could someone with working btmp logging from SSH please post their ls -l /var/log/btmp? :) Much appreciated. [23:47] out of curiosity, are there any ARM-based laptops, and is there a ARM port of ubuntu? [23:47] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> flowOver, nice [23:47] which would you buy: system76 darter ultra, or dell xps m1330 ubuntu? [23:48] Okay, I'll settle for ANY ls -l /var/log/btmp *grins* [23:48] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> pyrak, same spec? [23:48] [Hardy]TuTUXG, yeah, the're actually about the same price for about same specs [23:48] why doens't find sort files alfabethichaly? have i set something? [23:48] How do I find and replace with wildcards like " * *" with "" ? I don't care how I just need to know. [23:48] pyrak, system76 has been selling linux ready comps for a while, dell is fairly new at it, encourage them both [23:49] i use computers people leave next to dumpster and on the side of the road. never had any problems. [23:49] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> pyrak, i thought xps has smaller screen, isnt it? [23:49] i predict dell will abandon support for their linux desktops sooner than later [23:49] [Hardy]TuTUXG, could be. the dimensions of the whole computers are quite similar [23:49] you people spend hundreds and thousands, i'm just out the gas money. [23:50] sdfwofs, i'm out of grocery money, I win, sort of [23:50] Does anyone know? [23:50] is there a way to restart the sound service in ubuntu ? (without rebooting) [23:50] Pelo, that's the thing. i don't know if i want to encourage the underdog who sticks with linux, or encourage the big guy who's just starting to get the idea [23:50] the sound server .. or whatever. i really don't know much about this [23:50] Pelo, I still cant watch youtube videos :( [23:50] How do I find and replace with wildcards like " * *" with "" ? I don't care how I just need to know. [23:50] i guess when it comes down to it, the xps is a little sexier looking [23:50] but at the same time, might be more common [23:50] flowOver I've been a sub contractor to Dell I would not be so sure [23:50] haah, i asked my room mate to front me a loaf of bread to go with my sandwitch meat. [23:50] pelo, flashplugin-nonfree is installed [23:50] pyrak, what do you want to do , encouraging dell will help spread the word faster , [23:51] why doens't find sort files alfabethichaly? have i set something? [23:51] Pelo, that's probably true [23:51] Lowke1, restart ff [23:51] ok :D [23:52] is there a way to restart the sound service in ubuntu ? (without rebooting) [23:52] amjad: try /etc/init.d/alsa restart [23:52] Pelo, Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [23:52] hi, got a slight networking problem with ubuntu - i dont get an ip address via dhcp, and when i configure it as static, i still cant ping etc... the net itself works fine, got 3 other boxes with dhcp in here...

[23:53] pelo, java-nonfree is installed, sun java is installed, and ff was retarded [23:53] Lowke1, you currently have the latest flash, check in the FF preferences to enable javascript [23:53] How do I find and replace with wildcards like " * *" with "" ? I don't care how I just need to know. [23:53] okay pelo [23:53] Lowke1, java and javascript are not the same [23:53] ok [23:53] usser, command not found [23:53] mouseboyx: error, question doesn't make sense [23:53] one programd eneds it and the other program is deleting, how am i goingto win? [23:53] hello. I would like to know how can i open port 4672. Thanks [23:53] jessid: why would it be closed? [23:53] amjad: put sudo in front [23:53] mouseboyx: In a terminal? In an editor? Check man awk, man grep, man sed, (man vi :-)) [23:53] mouseboyx Have you posted on the Ubuntu forum? [23:54] ~keys [23:54] !keys [23:54] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [23:54] done that usser .. same result [23:54] Yes AntiSpamMeta [23:54] no gpg keys [23:54] i can turn off the login sound in system->prefs->sound but I can't turn off that dumdumdum sound that plays when the login screen loads... any ideas? [23:54] and how it's printing 'find /lib/firmware/2.6.22/ no such file or directory' about 10 times [23:54] !gpg [23:54] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [23:54] !gpg keys [23:54] Lowke1, in firefox, edit > pref > content , 3rd chckbox from the top , activate javascript [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpg keys - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:54] pelo, how do i install javascript? its enabled in ff [23:54] pelo it is enabled [23:54] LjL i dont know why, but i am using the network tools that comes with ubuntu, and it only shows 2 open ports [23:54] inertial: system->preferences->sound ? [23:54] What are the ubuntu gpg keys? [23:55] hey guys. sorry for bringing up Vista's evil in here repeatedly, but my brother just told me he *does* have a Vista DVD - if he reinstalls Vista or some rot, might it stop this insanity? [23:55] I just need to know what to put into sed 's/ What do i put for wildcard in sed?? / stuff/' file [23:55] Sarah: not there.. that's only the login sound.. i want the sound before that [23:55] inertial: In the sound tab there is a "login" bit, just change it to no sound [23:55] mouseboyx - to replace all instances of "*" with "" in the file file.txt do - cat file.txt | sed 's/\*//g' [23:55] amjad: hm I don't know [23:55] inertial: Oh you mean the GDM sound? [23:55] is there a version of ubuntu to boot from usb? [23:55] directed at Antkin I guess... [23:55] Sarah: ah, yes, the GDM sound [23:55] Lowke1, it's a FF thing , not someting you install in ubuntu I think , did you install any firefox extension to block scripts and such ? [23:55] jessid, that must be because there's only two services installed on your machine... if nothing is listening on port 4672, then any network scanning program will not show it as open [23:55] oh you have to use \* thank you [23:55] also, discovering other people with similar issue http://codylogan.net/?akst_action=share-this&p=156 for example [23:55] could i reip hardy 8.04 from disck and load on usb to boot? [23:55] is like some apps in Vista trigger it [23:55] mouseboyx - np [23:56] no pelo [23:56] no extentions at all [23:56] Lowke1, hold on, let me check [23:56] ok [23:56] inertial: in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf you will find #SoundOnLogin=true [23:56] SoundOnLoginFile=/usr/share/sounds/question.wav [23:56] inertial: Uncomment the first line and set it to false [23:56] Sarah: thanks [23:56] i saw a program pcsx2.net but i don't know how it work [23:56] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kditty, use the alternative cd to install it [23:56] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kditty, and with some tweaks i guess [23:56] nemo ask him to wipe his drive using a free data destruction program and get rid of the MBR befor he starts [23:56] Sarah: i think this should be easier to do.. where can i suggest it as something to fix? [23:56] LjL mmm i understand... so if i have amule open and it says kad is off, this is the reason the port is "closed" and not the inverse way: because de port is closed, kad is off ??? [23:57] danand, it still doesnt work 's/\*a/ /' does not do anything to the file === FFEMTcJ[away] is now known as FFEMTcJ [23:57] how can i make a cd image to pc? [23:57] Lowke1, try sudo apt-get install libmozjs0d , in a terminal [23:57] inertial: There probably is an easier way. But in the ubuntu bug thingy [23:57] ok [23:57] [Hardy]TuTUXG: i dont want to install it, just show it to some people without carrying a disc around [23:57] inertial: I found the easier way [23:57] jessid, it could indeed be because kad is off that the port shows up as closed. however, if you are connected to your ISP through a router, it is the *router* you need to instruct to open the port, in order for Kad to work. [23:57] inertial: system->administration->login window->Accesibility (god knows why) [23:58] mouseboyx - what is the exact command you are using? [23:58] I want to replace " 660 480" where the numbers are wildcards with "" null [23:58] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kditty, if ur bios support boot from usb, swap out the internal hd and use it as an ext hd would work as well [23:58] Antkin: so. your suggestion is to wipe it completely, reinstall Vista, and try again? [23:58] Sarah: ah.. thanks.. yeah maybe that's not the right spot for that [23:58] Antkin: actually, you said you had a guide? [23:58] sed 's/ \* \*/ /' Gamelist [23:58] inertial: I guess that would be a feature request to file with the Gnome team. [23:58] oops sorry i made a mistake good night everybody [23:58] Sarah: yup.. gtg to a meeting bbl [23:59] nemo yes I'll get the link [23:59] Hi Im in then ubuntu livecd enviroment.
