[00:04] yes pelo [00:04] Dr_Willis, about the same for my cannon, but it does 11x17 in bw [00:04] Jack_Sparrow, alright, I was able to get 1680x1050 on both, i received a "Desktop effect could not be enabled" when I tried after that [00:04] rhs: Boohoo :-( `fglrxinfo` says that the renderer is still Mesa indirect [00:04] <_temp> I have installed ubuntu. why doesn't it ask for root password.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [00:05] !root | _temp [00:05] tardy, Correct.. As I said... but if you drop the res to what I showed you you should be able to get effects [00:05] _temp: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:05] wow [00:05] 1280x1024 [00:05] sander_m: what ?

Nothing opens maximized [00:07] shows it as checked that it *should* work [00:07] Y-Town, it's a bit trickier the in windows, you need to use devilspie and writte a little file for it [00:07] Y-Town, right click on the title bar - i think thers some options in there to set stuff like that. [00:07] or was that in KDE. i forget which can do what. [00:07] many window managers can rember such settings. [00:07] hi all. i managet to install ati's latest drivers and needed libraries and all works fine, but "glxinfo | grep direct" returns "Xlib: connection to :1.0 refused by server; Error: unable to open display :1.0". what should i do? [00:08] gretsch, cd usualy mount automaticlay to /media , put a cd in , and browse your way to /media , it mightjust be they are not showing up on your desktop , that is easily fixed [00:08] gretsch: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then insert the CD and look for any errors in the log [00:08] Dr_Willis: I think thats kde [00:08] Y-Town, one of the reasons i perfer kde to gnome. :() [00:08] Dr_Willis, you are killing me [00:08] sander_m: do you have a "Load glx" in the Module Section of your xorg.conf ?

[00:10] TeslaDave, Suggestion.. if you reinstall. set up a second partition for use as /home [00:10] Dr_Willis: yea.. I just decided to try gnome... I was playing on kde for about a week. Just seems that support is better for ubuntu as apposed to kubuntu [00:10] rhs: My module section is empty. No GLX. No DRI (I think that's supposed to be there too?). Nothing [00:10] derdui_, I missed the first part of your query , ip2200 should work with the ip2000 driver [00:10] sander_m: add "Load "glx"" [00:10] Y-Town, ive not noticed 'support' being any better. :) the docs are just always assuming the user is using gnome from what ive seen.

[00:11] i cannot pm you [00:11] TeslaDave: to refine Jack_Sparrow's suggestion, shrink your existing root partition, install to the gained space and turn the 'old' root into your new /home [00:11] Thanks all, don't really care about the data [00:11] Dr_Willis: yep... thats what I mean :o) as a new user it is just easier to follow whats out there :o) [00:11] how large should the / partition be then? [00:11] hmmmm yes, i guess the problem is that i cant change it to a local printer.... the field is grey... [00:11] gretsch: we can meet in #ubuntu-classroom, it's quiet [00:11] Was ust wondering if there was an easier option than trying to dig up or re download the ISO [00:11] TeslaDave, HAving a sep /home will make life easier at a point in the future [00:11] tardy, 5-10 gig is usualy sufficient [00:12] tardy, I have 10 gig but only use 3.5 [00:12] thank you pelo, i almost did this however I was unsure as to a sufficient size [00:12] Y-Town, a 'new' user wouldent even think about automaxamizing things. :) im always telling the wife.. maxamize that window so you can SEE what you are doing!

[00:38] rhs: Mine too. But do the last 3 say "Mesa" or something else?

[00:39] its http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4Lin+ver.0.4+Emerald+Theme?content=71995 that one [00:39] Fruuctis, I'm not very knowledgable of emerald [00:40] rhs: Only 4:30 mins remaining until Nexuiz is installed. That'll be a nice stresstest for the system [00:40] Fruuctis, it should work if you have decorator enabled in the compiz advance settings thingy [00:40] sander_m: I'm going to bed [00:40] sander_m: good luck [00:40] Fruuctis, better ask in #compiz [00:40] rhs: Okay.

Can anyone suggest a program?

[00:42] xq: mencoder installed with no problems [00:42] gribouille: info page probably only contains the same thing as the man page [00:42] xq: im just working on the syntax. im browsing through that link you sent me [00:42] Fruuctis, use tha link I gave you there is an icon pacakge , just drag drop it in the appearance manager from the prefs menu [00:42] spork969: great and the command i gave you -- did you understand it (with or without audio option depending on needs)? [00:43] xq: crystal clear [00:43] spork969: I gave you the correct ;-) hehe Did it give you an error? [00:43] nickrud: thanks! Am i able to save the image to a NTFS drive? [00:43] spork969: correct command* [00:43] frank23, no, it doesn't [00:43] what link? [00:43] spork969: Unless you needed added options [00:43] xq: havent tried it yet, looking through the manual [00:43] what is a good app to pull down an entire website?

There is where you set where your files are saved to. If the variable substitution eludes you, the help system explains it all nicely. [00:44] spork969: Another good manual/Wiki page http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mencoder_Introduction_Guide -- :) Just for your future reference if you like it more, really. [00:44] ...also, I see that my old settings are gone. drat. that's what I get for using abcde ;-) [00:44] Hey guys. Anyone know how to fix the bloody gfxboot in hardy?

[00:45] gribouille: try installing the diff-doc package === LinuxKid is now known as N3bunel [00:45] spork969: You have to rename original.ogg to your filename of your .ogg file -- I.E. if it is called spork969movie.ogg then put that there [00:45] frank23, ok, thanks [00:45] spork969: I just put placeholder file names for you [00:45] xq: i know, i figured it out [00:45] spork969: good deal [00:46] xq: i typed the file name wrong [00:46] gotta go to bed, g'night folks [00:46] and i do see the ripper subtab but i don't see any where to put a save to path [00:46] good night Pelo [00:47] thanks for the help:P [00:47] ^^ [00:47] so i am getting one of these>http://www.positiveesolutions.com/store/product.php?productid=824757&cat=26&page=1 and am going to throw 3x6.4 gig drives into it, what RAID level should i use to have some data loss protection and still use them as at least a 12.5 gig drive? [00:47] anyone here ever look at pclinuxos ? [00:47] !grub [00:47] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:47] crxyem: I am sure people have [00:48] just looking for others opinions on it [00:48] how does one list the available supported filesystem types? [00:48] hi all. is there some way to access thin-client error logs? I'm trying to trace the cause of a failed client startup. [00:48] crxyem: Might want to ask in ubuntu-offtopic ;) [00:48] ah didn't know that existed [00:48] hello, i changed my laptop hdd, is there a way to copy my ubuntu installition from my old hdd to my new one ? [00:49] crxyem: well this is the unofficial ubuntu-offtopic [00:49] =) [00:49] crxyem: Just a seperate channel for non-support things. This is the uno...what subsume said. lol [00:49] you can ask here. but just like the ubuntu forums, you'll probably not get a reply =) [00:49] crxyem: ...but a good place to start is Google and distrowatch.com (.../exits stage left). [00:50] gcg: yes, you need a USB adapter to connect your old disk though [00:50] gcg: you may want to look into partimage [00:50] gcg.. yes you can.. might be easier to burn your /home to a disk.. resinstall ubuntu on the new hdd & then copy over the /home folder [00:51] i boot my lappy with gentoo minimal cd, i copy all files with cp -pR * to my new hdd [00:51] i reinstall grub [00:51] Does anyone know how to fix Hardy's grub gfxboot? It seems to be forever in text mode. :p the link someone gave above didn't help, as it wasn't gfxboot. [00:51] you could just copy the / folder to a disk if it fits & use a ghosting image to put it on the new hdd.. but that would copy over any bad sectors as well [00:51] Toma-: cat /proc/filesystems [00:51] but it does not boot [00:52] nickrud: I'm trying to make an image of the linux system i'm currently running. However, it will not allow me to make the image because the partition is in use (obviously because i'm booted into it)... is there a way to circumvent this, or does this mean that i'll have to install another linux installation on another drive, and then image...? [00:52] ok, here's a weird question: how would i go about converting a video to a gif? [00:52] soundray: cheers :) [00:52] Toma-: this does not include filesystems available as modules that aren't loaded [00:52] nayfly.. boot into the live cd & work from there [00:52] nayfly: try booting into a livecd. [00:53] nayfly: I used ... see sfears above ;) [00:53] hehe. too slow, it seems [00:53] nayfly.. see FrozenFox [00:53] soundray: ahh. im assuming ext3 should be built into the kernel tho right? [00:53] okay, but wouldn't the livecd have to have partimage already installed? [00:53] Toma-: I'm not sure, I think it gets loaded from initramfs [00:53] not necessarily [00:53] ookay...i think i shall use RAID5...now to figure out how to download wikipedia onto my hard disk...that i may read it faster XD [00:53] hello i have suse and and windows and after installing windows it can run windows but after installing grub it can bring up opensuse menu. i am on opensuse right now. how can i load windows instead of suse? [00:53] i've installed and run gparted from a livecd before [00:54] spork969: mencoder can do that [00:54] i dont see why partimage would be any different [00:54] what is the command I can get the web page source, something like wget? [00:54] nayfly: the live cd has gparted [00:54] soundray: ahh rightio [00:54] I'm not sure what I'm talking about but I hope you do :D [00:54] and in the mean time, how can i replace my caps locks key with "compose"? [00:54] hello i have suse and and windows and after installing windows it can run windows but after installing grub it can bring up opensuse menu. i am on opensuse right now. how can i load windows instead of suse? i installed grub from ubuntu live cd [00:54] gparted you say. and that will make an image and write it to an NTFS drive? [00:54] just as a file, that is. [00:54] nayfly: i didnt read the whole thing. its just a partitioner [00:54] bengalikid, i'm not sure this is the proper support channel for you.. i'd say edit your grub file.. but i'm not even sure if SUSE uses grub [00:54] http://www.sysresccd.org/ this liveCD might have partimage on it, im not sure [00:54] nayfly: making a direct, bit-by-bit copy of a drive is possible with dd [00:55] what is the command I can get the web page source, something like wget www.google.com? === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [00:55] I'm not sure what I'm talking about but I hope you do :D [00:55] hi guys. I have a projector hooked up to my computer with an 80 inch screen. My display is a block in the middle of that screen. How can I make it wider and higher with my Nvidia Gforce 6100 card please? [00:55] for virtualizing an OS such as winXP pro, what program proven to be best? [00:55] nayfly: but that wouldnt change the file system...it's an *exact* copy [00:55] soundray: seriously? [00:55] I guess i'm not after a bit for bit copy. Just an image. [00:55] Tardy: its kind of a matter of preference. i prefer virtualbox. but many many prefer vmware [00:55] reikalusikka, are you trying to circumvent opening a browswer & viewing source from there? [00:56] reikalusikka: wget does get the source [00:56] spork969: serious as cancer. man mencoder [00:56] FrozenFox, I was kind of fond of virtualbox myself (partly because sun is trying to acquire them) [00:56] ALright cheers guys. I'll try out your suggestions. [00:57] Indeed. Sun ftw. [00:57] which directory does synaptic pkg mgr download it's files to? [00:57] soundray: how? [00:57] mlLK: /var/cache/apt/archives [00:57] soundray: k ty [00:57] spork969: read 'man mencoder' to find out how [00:58] sfears I'm I can't see php by that way [00:58] ups [00:58] Hi there, I'm having major problems with Ubuntu 7.10 [00:58] soundray: thanks for the advice [00:58] mrgeorge: like? [00:58] ohhh [00:59] how would I switch my default torrent program from bittorrent to azureus? I have azureus installed but firefox wants to open it with bittorrent [00:59] is that how to pick up chicks?? [00:59] soundray: is synaptic pkg mgr = aptitude? [00:59] where does the file save it self? [00:59] I think my vid card and sound card drivers aren't installed [00:59] mlLK: it's a different program, but synaptic and aptitude both manage packages [00:59] mlLK: no. aptitude is a text-mode package manager. All of them use the same directory to cache packages, though [01:00] hello i have suse and and windows and after installing windows it can run windows but after installing grub it can bring up opensuse menu. i am on opensuse right now. how can i load windows instead of suse? [01:00] mrgeorge: please open up a terminal/console/konsole from Accessories, and type glxinfo | grep direct [01:00] mrgeorge, your sound card is more than likely not working becuase the volume levels in a mixer are turned down [01:00] mrgeorge: if that command gives you direct rendering: yes, then your video drivers are installed ok [01:00] so all packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives [01:00] soundray: Where does the .html save it self? [01:00] frozenfox: it says yes [01:01] here is my problem: http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/4/3/10/f_Screenshot1m_3e389ac.png [01:01] mrgeorge: then your video drivers should be fine. why do you think they are working incorrectly? [01:01] reikalusikka: to the present working directory, where you launched wget. Find out the path with 'pwd' [01:01] ok [01:01] Frozenfox: beccause when i boot up, the image is really distorted, the screen appears only as 640*480 [01:02] mrgeorge: have you run nvidia-settings and changed the resolution? and when you say that, do you mean only on bootup or permanently? [01:02] soundray: thanks [01:03] soundray: it won't animate [01:03] only in bootup, and when its booting up, I get a message from my monitor, invalid input or something like that [01:03] and I have an intel gma 3100 vid card === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:03] soundray: this is what i typed "mplayer video.avi -vo gif89a:fps=15:output=gif.gif" [01:04] mrgeorge: hrm, from what i understand, your video drivers (ie nvidia/ati) do not kick in until your system is almost fully loaded. until then, its a sort of default video driver deal. [01:04] spork969: and did you try loading gif.gif in firefox? [01:04] FrozenFox: I don't have nvidia or ATI [01:05] mrgeorge: intel? [01:05] soundray: oh, i just assumed the image viewer would animate it [01:05] FrozenFox: yes, gma 3100 [01:05] spork969: so it worked? [01:05] question [01:06] soundray: fantastically, thank you [01:06] mrgeorge: as long as direct rendering works in-os, they should be working correctly. i dont know why it's doing weird stuff prior to logging in, but it may work the same way as the nvidia/ati drivers and only load the direct rendering stuff just before the login screen. [01:06] answer [01:06] is there any application to do HTML and shit for web like dream weaver, for ubuntu of course. [01:06] mrgeorge: i dont really know how to change the resolution prior to that point, however. [01:06] !language | Decinoge [01:06] Decinoge: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:06] Frozenfox: does this title bar look messed up http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/4/3/10/f_Screenshot1m_3e389ac.png [01:06] its all re-arranged [01:07] is there any application to do HTML and stuff for web like dream weaver, for ubuntu of course. [01:07] !html | Decinoge [01:07] Decinoge: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [01:07] Oo [01:07] mrgeorge: it appears normal to me despite the large gaps in the panels. those should be there. [01:07] mrgeorge: like left of 'bob' and right of the trash bin icon [01:08] anyone out there using wine for guild wars? [01:08] mrgeorge: why? [01:08] FrozenFox: my name should be in the far right? I thought thats where the power button went [01:08] i guess there is not [01:08] not finding .drive_c not there or something [01:08] Decinoge: tried any of those? [01:08] hello, does anyone know if I can adjust 3d settings such as texture quality and mipmapping ect.. from a terminal? [01:08] mrgeorge: you can move any item on the panel anywhere you want, and add/remove panel items at will via right click. [01:08] phoenix: nvidia or ati? [01:09] Decinoge: none of them are comparable to Dreamweaver really, but the output code quality is generally better [01:09] ati [01:09] FrozenFox: do you know why when Ubuntu is both booting up and shutting down, my monitor gives me an invalid input signal for a few seconds? [01:09] a few... not very confortable :\ [01:09] its a matter of user interface i guess :\ [01:09] Decinoge: it's a matter of leaving your comfort zone [01:09] FrozenFox: ati card (Radeon IGP 345M) [01:10] mrgeorge: i really dont know. but as long as it works (with correct resolution in ubuntu) and direct rendering appears to be working, i dont think its something to worry about [01:10] sorry soundray, i'm on the side of design that says "good design is the one that gives less effort/stress to the user" [01:11] FrozenFox: could it be because I have a really old (4 years) 15 inch lcd monitor? [01:11] hey guys, can i ask a question? i've already tried googling and to RTFM and please don't eat me. [01:11] mrgeorge: but you may want to post your question on the ubuntu forums, if it is of concern. [01:11] kerin: just ask :) [01:11] FrozenFox: I'm using the Open source drivers for ati. and there is no catalyst control center or ati control panel or anything so i have no way to modify the settings. [01:11] mrgeorge: i am using a 4+ year old crt monitor. it shouldnt be an issue. [01:11] !ask | kerin, not hungry :P [01:11] kerin, not hungry :P: 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. :-) [01:11] can any one please make me a scrip that checks is totem is running if found runing it should be stopped or ended [01:11] thanks! will do. [01:11] FrozenFox: is 15 inch a problem? [01:11] phoenix5002: hmm.. one second. let me see here. one sec [01:11] FrozenFox: I wouldn't mind downloading a third party program or something if it would help [01:11] timo: 'killall totem' ? [01:11] Decinoge: I'm one of the kind that willingly sacrifices a bit of comfort to gain more control [01:12] phoenix5002: how did you install the drivers? restricted manager? [01:12] tonyyarussoif found running [01:12] timo: well it sure won't do much if it's not. [01:12] no I don't have anything in restricted manager but "atheros hardware access layer (HAL)" [01:12] nautilus won't open the links on my desktop. "desktop entry" filetype, i think. when i try it says it can't display [whatever] and "There is no application installed for this file type" [01:12] mrgeorge: no, the size should not be a problem. [01:12] one should not sacrifice the other, that's what it is smart design [01:12] FrozenFox: I'm using the default open source drivers Ubuntu gave me when I installed [01:12] Decinoge: I guess among Linux users I am in the (if somewhat diminishing) majority [01:12] interface design* [01:12] tonyyarusso: its hard to explain [01:13] FrozenFox:ok, one other thing, do you know why my computer is beeping all the time? [01:13] phoenix5002: ah. well, unless you have a specific reason to use those, i'd suggest using the ATI ones. [01:13] Decinoge: well, Dreamweaver is not exactly an example of that [01:13] there's not much better [01:13] hey all [01:13] FrozenFox: I tried the ATI drivers, but then I had no "direct rendering" so I switched back [01:13] tonyyarusso: if its not running it must run it but if its running it must top it :P [01:13] phoenix5002: which you can install from the restricted drivers manager or download "Envy" and install your drivers that way (the former case is better if possible) [01:13] phoenix5002: hmm. you may want to try envy, and see if you have better luck [01:14] does openoffice have conectors for the flowcharts....because all i can see are the shapes ? [01:14] FrozenFox: envy isn't supported or recommended [01:14] all the fonts in openoffice are zeros what should I do ??? [01:14] !envy | FrozenFox phoenix5002 [01:14] FrozenFox phoenix5002: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:14] timo: ah. maybe something like if(pidof totem) then. [01:14] I also tried envy It said my card wasn't supported and I said "install anyway" and it messed up my comp [01:14] phoenix5002: hrmm. i see. [01:14] however, the links in the "places" window work fine. i've even tried making NEW shortcuts on the offchance that the specification changed or something and they still don't work. my other thought was that i would have to set the program to "open" desktop entry files. but nautilus doesn't give me the option, I assume to keep me from screwing anything up. [01:15] tonyyarusso: so it should be #bin/bash [01:15] ceej_: the 8th symbol in the bar on the bottom gives you connectors [01:15] pidof totem [01:15] dont get it :P [01:15] FrozenFox: I'm happy with the driver I have now more or less, I just want to reduce some of the graphics to get a few more FPS in games [01:15] phoenix5002: sorries, i really dont know how to edit anything about the drivers outside of the official ones. >< have you tried perhaps manually installing them then? [01:15] phoenix5002, you may not want to use envy to install the drivers.. it might break the upgrade coming out next month.. Wait until Hardy is out. It may have better support for ati... [01:15] however, i didn't knew KompoZer, only Amaya and Iceape Composer [01:15] this looks nice [01:15] Scunizi: he said he's already tried, and it failed [01:16] Scunizi: ya I already tried envy and it did mess stuff up, I'm not trying it again [01:16] FrozenFox, ah.. ok.. same thing with automatix phoenix5002 .. [01:16] !automatix [01:16] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [01:16] but are there any third party apps that can edit my graphics quality settings? [01:16] RequinB4, that's what I just said... :/ [01:16] I want to learn how to write programs that interact with a devices (eventually using a GUI). I'm thinking of learning python or C++. Does anyone have recommendations as to which language to use and a good development platform/program to use that is supported by ubuntu? [01:17] Scunizi: hehe. i never suggest automatix to anyone for well-discussed reasons, but i've never seen issues with envy. :) [01:17] boy Scunizi your 2 for 2 for bad advice.. [01:17] Scunizi - never fails to hit home if not from a bot [01:17] I've seen plenty of people come here because automatix screwed their box [01:17] hi everyone [01:17] hello themike [01:17] IndyGunFreak, I suggested not using automatix.. don't know how you could imply otherwise.. it's like envy. might break things. [01:17] RequinB4: same here, PLENTY.. same on Envy [01:18] I've been away from linux for a while and I guess I need some help configuring my network... [01:18] yeh. i've seen it messed up for plenty of automatix users, though i've never encountered someone with envy trouble who -doesn't- otherwise have trouble installing the drivers anyway [01:18] hey does someone know a good channel i should go into to ask about some usenet stuff? [01:18] OH, perhaps I can edit some settings for wine? the game I want to edit the quality settings for uses wine [01:18] so i always suggest it only as a last resort :0 [01:18] :)* [01:18] what command is it to ind out what my partitions are in linux? [01:18] any good joox-like sites? [01:18] bengalikid, sudo fdisk -l is one way [01:18] from the graphic interface, it looks like my onboard realtek 8100 is not detecded, but from the lshw [01:19] Emilian, Not any more - that ive seen. veoh.com is ok. [01:19] bengalikid, blkid is another for mounted partitions. [01:19] general question that's been bugging me, what is fstab? [01:19] !fstab | RequinB4 [01:19] RequinB4: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:19] what dose if(pidof totem) then . do? [01:19] okay well i've found a workaround for my problem for the moment, sort of [01:19] RequinB4, file system table - I guess. :) is what it stands for. [01:19] ah, so like if you had /home on a different file system [01:19] well that sucks [01:19] parition( [01:19] mrgeorge: if youre still here, i have no idea regarding the beeps. it would be more helpful perhaps to find out when specifically it beeps, recreate it, and then we might be able to help. [01:19] RequinB4, it defines where the various filesystems get mounted. [01:19] if anyone else has desktop links that don't work you can replace them with program launchers that run "naurilus [uri to open" [01:20] thanks for at least listening, guys [01:20] anyone can help me get some help on getting up and running with usenet [01:20] not sure if this is the right channel for that kind of stuff [01:21] damn, so many people talking at the same time, any way anyone can help me with the basic networking in a private window? I know networking very well in windows, I wont need anyone to explain what an ip adress is, just how to enable my network card in ubuntu [01:22] themike: depends on the type of networking card. [01:22] anyone out there using wine for guild wars?? [01:22] is my script ok ? http://pastebin.ca/937553 [01:22] can anyone read what i'm typing or am i muted or something [01:22] Rizzla: we can see you [01:22] is amarok any good? [01:22] i installed vbox [01:22] TaRDy, yep [01:22] but still cant run farcry [01:23] snypzz: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 no, but people don't seem to have too many issues. do you have a problem in general? [01:23] A86, you are trying to run farcry in side windows inside virtualbox? [01:23] Rizzla: you are muted [01:23] yes [01:23] lshw -C network shows my network card, but system administration network tools dosent let me configure the eth0 interface [01:23] yes [01:23] A86, GOOD LUCK with that... [01:23] soundray, if i'm muted than how did you read what i wrote [01:23] A86, any 3d game will proerly not run very well. [01:23] can you suggest how i can run farcry? [01:23] A86, use wine/cedega [01:23] everything (including ther hardware address) is "not available" [01:24] Rizzla: now I can read you, but faintly. Strike your keys harder. [01:24] haha [01:24] good one [01:24] when i use wine i get error [01:24] and the realtek website says driver is built in the kernel [01:24] would like to know if I need to create a folder to find windows apps wile using wine [01:24] !appdb | A86 [01:24] A86: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [01:24] I'm installing ubuntu on a partition, to dual boot it with xp pro. Getting failure with grub loading. It says it can't write. [01:24] anyone use usenet or giganews? [01:24] general folder [01:24] i didnt have luck with wine [01:24] or something [01:24] snypzz: wine apps install to /home/yourname/.wine/drive_c [01:24] I need help with setting up my Realtek RTL8187B wireless card.. I'd like to enable wireless functionality of my laptop, currently wired in. [01:24] i was told to use vbox [01:25] i'm just looking for some help or advice with getting usenet up and running [01:25] A86, may want to try a newer wine, or cedega. You are not going to get good 3d game play from virtualbox or vmware - [01:25] no one can help about enabling that network card? [01:25] Rizzla: if you don't get an answer straight away, it usually means the expert you're looking for is not logged on. Try again after a while (10+ min) [01:25] A86, espicially a game thas as gfx intensive as farcry [01:25] Rizzla, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/evolution-and-usenet-598559/ [01:25] how do i install wine cvs? [01:25] what do you do if grub fails, use lilo? [01:25] or cedega? [01:25] A86: you won't get farcry to work with virtualbox/vmware. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2348&iTestingId=13379 [01:25] A86, there is some up to date wine repository. or go to the cedega homepage and try the demo [01:26] join #ubuntu-us-in [01:26] !wine [01:26] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:26] smick, reinstall grub typically.. if you have multiple drives it might have been placed on the wrong drive. [01:26] demo? [01:26] A86: far cry is officially supported by cedega http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/view.mhtml?game_id=3297 [01:26] whats the limits? [01:26] A86, go to the home page and find out. [01:26] thanks sunizi, but i guess my question was more general in the sense that i'm looking to sign up to one of the premium services, but wanted to know which would be best [01:26] Scunizi: it recognizes the other windows partition, and tries to write to boot loader then fails. [01:26] as far as linux compatibility with their software [01:26] I've retried it in the main menu, it lets me go there. still failing. [01:26] i know giganews has an accelorator, but its win only. [01:27] What tool do I need to convert a .daa to an .iso [01:27] so, any ideas why I see 100% processor usage, and coming out of standby, the screen res drops to 800x 600 and I need to restart my session to fix it [01:27] smick, using the live cd check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [01:28] howto install [01:28] i went to the homepage [01:28] no info [01:28] scunizi: if I'm using the alterative text installer will I be able to do anything at the moment? [01:28] A86: cedega or wine? [01:28] A86, you are a fast reader then.. they have downloads you install [01:28] hey [01:28] cegega [01:28] !cedega [01:28] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [01:28] smick, probably not.. unfortunatly.. [01:28] A86: cedega is not free like wine. [01:29] cedega had a 30 day or somthing demo last i looked. [01:29] what is free that i can use for farcry? [01:29] smick, unless you reinstall and choose lilo. I've never used lilo [01:29] can anyone just tell me how to set my eth0 interface to 192.168.1.2? in network tools, on eth0, the "configure" button is grayed, but the lshw -C network command shows my ethernet adapter and driver and all [01:29] A86: it is ~5$ a month for a min of 3 months last i checked (a long time ago) for lifetime program use, but 3-month updates. Wine can run farcry so-so according to wine's appdb. [01:29] A86: and wine is free.. cedega is not. [01:30] can you help me get it to run on wine? [01:30] Scunizi: so the live CD will let me get around this error. Seems like the same thing will happen. [01:30] hey when i was installing Ubuntu it said this "the secuity updates at ubuntu.com could not be accessed, those updates will be made available to you at a later time, the commented out entires can be seen here etc/apt/sources.list [01:30] smick, probably.. do you have multiple drives? [01:30] i have wine 0.9.46 [01:30] why do you guys ignore me, am I doing something wrong? [01:30] A86: that is VERY old. [01:31] how do i upgrade? [01:31] A86: are you on feisty or gutsy? [01:31] themike: lol they do that sometimes [01:31] im running ubuntu gusty [01:31] themike ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 [01:31] A86, for the 'latest' wine - check --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624644 [01:31] A86: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [01:31] smick, the live cd will give you an environment that will allow you to reinstall grub.. [01:31] Scunizi: I'm running a 3 partition sata 300 GB. I used the last 90GB for linux, or tried to. [01:32] A86, that forum shows how to add the latest wine repos to the package listing. [01:32] anyone running ms office with wine -? [01:32] Scunizi: if I continue without grub, I can't boot into linux, then I can use the live CD and create grub listing? [01:32] hey when i was installing Ubuntu it said this "the secuity updates at ubuntu.com could not be accessed, those updates will be made available to you at a later time, the commented out entires can be seen here etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] fabio: which version? [01:32] scunizi, I'm not even sure if I continue with this install if I can boot back into windows. [01:32] smick, try the live cd.. that will probably fix it all for you.. don't reinstall just follow the instructions on the link I gave you. You can't boot into linux unless grub installs. [01:32] hmmm, ifconfig [...] tells me permission denied and I'm using the only account I created during setup :( [01:33] 2003 [01:33] bradley during your install, internet access was not available, so it deferred [01:33] is there a way to run linux terminal commands in mirc? [01:33] amenado: how do i fix this? [01:33] themike sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 [01:33] sudo ifconfig? [01:33] fabio: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3214 [01:33] crap, treed [01:33] Itaku: not in mirc, but I know xchat and irssi can run some terminal commands [01:33] Itaku, if you mean in your IRC client - most in linux support the /exec command [01:33] scunizi: thanks, I'll continue with this install where grub failed I guess, and if my computer doesn't boot, I'll make sure and get the Live CD going and correct the problem. That's what you mean? [01:34] is there a way to generate a list of all installed packages so after I do a fresh install I can do a diff between the fresh install and what I had installed ? [01:34] bradley-> sudo apt-get upgrade once you have an establish internet access [01:34] error fetching interface information: device not found [01:34] smick, yep [01:34] Itaku, try /exec fortune [01:34] amenado . what about the commented out stuff [01:34] /j #trivia [01:34] so I need a driver? [01:34] scunizi, cool thanks [01:34] any way to fix the security updates disabled during install? [01:34] smick, did you also create a seperate /home partition when installing? [01:34] has anyone seen the occurrence of their drive enumerations changing after install? sda is now, sdc, etc. [01:34] setting up mySQL question [01:34] bradley what about them? [01:35] amenado: how do i uncomment them out??? [01:35] herky its possible, if you have mixed sata and pata [01:35] ok im installing wine 9.57 [01:35] herky, yes.. depends on where the drives are plugged into the mother board vs. boot order. [01:35] FrozenFox thankx: http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/01/running-ms-office-2003-under-linux-with.html seems it's ossible [01:35] ok installed [01:35] bradley you use an editor [01:35] i know... but how??? [01:35] openoffice is too bad for my purposes [01:35] herky, and what A86 said :) [01:36] hey [01:36] fabio: you may also want to look into wine-doors. i think they have ms office working in it too, but im not sure. but it is unsupported and beta quality. [01:36] amenado: i know but how, because now i cant use the add remove application thing [01:36] hmm, i would only expect that if i had changed any of the above [01:36] so what do i do next? [01:36] which i haven't [01:36] does any1 here have experience in apache? I'm trying to use authentication and wondering how to implement sll or some serious secure system. [01:36] ssl* [01:36] any can help me to do work a broadcom 4311, in 7.10 ! Please .... [01:36] sudo ifconfig 192.168.1.2 tells me "192.168.1.2: error fetching interface information: Device not found", does that mean I dont have the driver even though the realtek website says its built into the kernel?? [01:36] bradley what thingy? where are you at? what command? === lunks is now known as Lunks [01:37] KompoZer enjoyed [01:37] ok i got wine 0/9/57 installed [01:37] reikalusikka: http://cacert.com does site certs for authentication...if that helps [01:37] hello everyone. I'm having some trouble with kmail and I don't know if this has something to do with it but I'm running it under GNOME [01:37] what do i do next? [01:37] i did the sudo apt get upgrade [01:37] easy to work with tables, and i like tables [01:37] reikalusikka: for ssl...i think there's a mod_openssl [01:37] macogw: thanks I'll try that [01:37] no need for hardcore stuff... just to look good [01:37] and it rad some stuff and it said 0 upgrades 0 newly installed 0 remove and 0 not upgrade amenado [01:37] themike-> may i suggest a tutorial on network with linux? the very basic [01:38] A86: run your far cry setup exe w/ wine and see if you have any better luck than before, first off.. [01:38] bradley you are not answering my questions, [01:38] ok [01:38] brb [01:38] bradley what thingy? where are you at? what command? [01:38] amenado: i am trying to get the add remove programs to work, and get the updates as normal and i think that those commented out entires are the key... what do you mean??? [01:38] please, yes, suggest one because those I can find all suppose that you already have the driver working at 1st boot [01:39] amenado: i just did the sudo apt-get upgrade [01:39] any can help me to do work a broadcom 4311, in 7.10 ! Please .... [01:39] Is it normal for two machines using smb to take about 10 minutes to be able to see what directories are shared? [01:39] bradley and i already explained to you the cause of error [01:39] amenado: which was? [01:40] mauro_rioiv: I have a bcm4311 and 7.10 64bit, what kind of problems you have? bcms suck a lot.... [01:40] bradley scroll back and read what i posted [01:40] i done my script :) [01:40] Haldo - all of my USB ports have stopped working. Any suggestions? [01:40] I am not able to login through console but able to login through putty. please help me [01:40] so, any ideas why I see 100% processor usage, and coming out of standby, the screen res drops to 800x 600 and I need to restart my session to fix it [01:40] amenado: right and i DID the sudo apt-get upgrade like you told me, and it didnt fix the add/remove programs [01:40] i have start the BCM43XX by hand ... this not start auto... [01:41] crxyem, have you tried to run the system monitor to watch what is goning on? [01:41] and this is the dmesg ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59212/ [01:41] bradley read again, what did i mention about internet access ? [01:41] amenado: right and I HAVE internet access now! [01:41] * netopalis is sad... [01:41] amenado: am i supposed to reinstall??? [01:42] bradley nope, your upgrade can be done with that command [01:42] Whoops, command-not-found has crashed! Please file a bug report at: [01:42] how do I fix that? [01:42] amenado: and it didnt fix anything! [01:43] Anyone mind helping me with my lack of USB? [01:43] bradley you can uncomment what ever is security related source.. or do it via gui...system ->adming->synaptic choose source and then update [01:43] gregbrady, yes, I have all looks normal [01:43] which man page package as the documentation for pthread? [01:44] has* [01:44] crxyem, hmmmm [01:44] Optimus55: you copy that ? [01:44] do I need a separate home partition when installing ubuntiu? [01:44] bradley what i meant source was settings and a window or sources should pop [01:44] it's a good idea to smick [01:44] i made my spare partition the / root and that's it. [01:44] smick: no, if you don't, it uses space from the / partition [01:44] hello! [01:44] ok, scunizi asked me that and I wondered if it might have affected grub failure [01:45] bradley what i meant source was settings ->(repositories) and a window or sources should pop [01:45] mauro_rioiv: with that card i've tried a lot, but haven't had success with the native driver in ubuntu. i get the same XMIT error, MAC suspend failed [01:45] amenado: no, nothing happened... screw this im just going to reinstall UBUNTU YET AGAIN!!!! prob. the 4th time [01:45] my fingers are quick on the enter [01:45] I'm thinking it's something strange from doing an upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 [01:45] crxyem, so how do you know your processor is used 100%? Won't that indicator tell you what is sucking up the processor time? [01:45] I used the text installer, grub failed, I continued anyway, now i'm going to go back with a live cd and maybe fix and get grub to actually write itself [01:45] mauro_rioiv: could just be my hp laptop because i know othe ppl have done it. but for me only ndiswrapper works in the current ubuntu [01:45] bradley if you do that, well see you here the 5th asking same.. [01:46] is there a way to check the downloaded iso to see if it's all there. I made a coaster and I don't know if it was the CD burn or the iso. [01:46] smick mount it [01:46] before I try downloading again.. I want to check the iso. [01:46] In Hardy, is there a way to disable scim without uninstalling it? [01:46] md5 sum? [01:46] For a single user? [01:46] mauro_rioiv: although the latest kernel has might better support for bcm4311 and it works flawlessly when i tried it on fedora 9 alpha [01:46] !verify [01:46] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:46] amenado: can I mount in windows xp? I've never done that. [01:46] much* [01:46] smick ahh then you must be in linux to mount it [01:46] I'll check that.. never used md5 before either. [01:46] a superkaramba script that is running cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'cpu MHz' | sed -e 's/.*: //'| sed -e 's/\..../ MHz/'" every so often [01:47] amenado: yes the first CD burned failed, failed the check I mean. before I waste another CD, I thought, maybe I shoudl check the ISO. [01:47] smick next time tell us the background story, i told you i guess wrong [01:48] quick question; do the nvidia drivers work for PNY cards? [01:48] that's cool. I'll check md5 matching or whatever it's called. [01:48] anonusr: if they have nvidia chipsets [01:48] they should work for anything with an nvidia chipset [01:48] guys,rise up rise up,tell me where does xp hides its logs? [01:49] icesword: ##windows [01:49] come on,they don't know [01:49] can't get stupid flash plugin installed.. [01:49] well, I thik I'm going to try a fresh install [01:49] what does this mean: resident set size [01:49] So, if the card was a PNY geforce, than it is probably comparable to the nvidia geforce? [01:50] crxyem, a fresh install seems kind of radical! [01:50] hi guys is there any reason i cant see any skype contacts listed in ubuntu [01:50] all my contact show up fine in windows [01:50] for that same username [01:50] anyone know if it would be possible to write gnome do plugins in boo? [01:50] * regeya has used neither c# nor boo, so it's not a huge deal; boo just looks more python-like, and c# looks like pushing rope...just personal preference [01:51] for those interested in X windows, the new book "X power Tools" by Chris Tyler publ- Oreilly can be read online at.. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101954/toc.html [01:51] anonusr: nvidia makes chipsets, other companies use the chipsets to make cards. your PNY card should have some nvidia certification or something [01:52] hi guys is there any reason i cant see any skype contacts listed in ubuntu - windows box is fine with same username - any ideas? === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude|overhere [01:52] a good book to read..neat little tricks.. === Wahaya is now known as Neskaya [01:53] does anyone know why the clock in ubuntu does not automatically adjust for daylights saving time? [01:53] trev mine did [01:53] so did mine [01:53] gregbrady: radical yes, but maybe necessary, as nothing else has seemed to wrok [01:53] as did my clock [01:53] as did mine, trev; make sure you have your timezone set correctly [01:53] mySQL is not myFRIEND [01:53] trev: sounds like you're not using the right timezone [01:54] Optimus55: i have the latest kernel, or not ? [01:54] ok ill look it up thx [01:54] mauro_rioiv: which kernel are you using? [01:54] I'm having a problem running kmail/kontakt in gnome. I've set up a gmail imap account and i can see entries for my gmail folders but they're all blank and I can't seem to find a way to change them [01:54] uname -r ???? [01:54] crxyem, ok, just thought we could save you from that. [01:55] ask for more than you want [01:55] then people will make offers [01:55] checked the card, it has what looks like a very small nvidia symbol on the back. thanks for the help. [01:55] Optimus55: uname -r = 2.6.22-14-386 [01:55] trev: assuming you're using gnome, System -> Preferences -> Date & Time [01:55] so nobody has any issues or input wrt skype not showing contacts? [01:55] by latest, i meant the 2.6.24 kernel === cory__ is now known as CineScope [01:56] regeya:yeah its set for New York which is where i am but im thinking ill just adjust it forward an hour [01:56] trev, what release of ubuntu are you using [01:56] Any G3 Mac users here? [01:56] help.. which gstreamer plugin is for DVD? [01:56] 6.11 [01:56] #ubuntu-powerpc seems dead. [01:56] i believe [01:56] mauro_rioiv: although technically the latest is 2.6.25. check www.kernel.org [01:56] 6.11? That's an interesting release. [01:56] Do you mean 6.10? [01:56] regeya: yes [01:57] im a nowie.. can enyone help me configure my dual boot... i cant get my windows xp runing from my grub.. i get a filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 [01:57] regeya: my harddrive is almost full so i never updated it [01:57] Is there a way to make an alias that applies for the whole xsession, not just for bash? [01:57] whoops...somehow I screwed up MY timezone. [01:57] anyone know which gstreamer is for dvd? [01:57] xyblor: Er, how do you mean? [01:57] regeya:i just set it forward one hour [01:57] You mean something that everyone could use by executing from a terminal? [01:57] SeveredCross, one g4 powermac user. [01:57] man can someone please please let me know if skype has issues with regards to showing contacts - none of mine appear on this box but theyre available on my windows box [01:57] SeveredCross: I want an alias that I can run from my window manager, which is before bash has begun [01:58] regeya:tempory but funtional, do you think its worth updating to the newest version of ubuntu? [01:58] trev: well...there may be a better fix, but sure [01:58] xyblor: Write a shell script, place it in /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable? [01:58] anonusr: Do you run a dual boot or just Ubuntu? [01:58] which Gstreamer plugin is for DVD? [01:58] SeveredCross: you having an ubuntu ppc issue? I use debian ppc at work, used to use ubuntu lts, what's the issue... [01:58] SeveredCross: but it's a command that already exists ("urxvt") [01:59] dual boot, I've found it helps to have a small mac partition in the even you kill the yaboot partition (pram reset) [01:59] regeya: Just problems with actually getting it to boot. [01:59] I have OS X installed on the 2nd channel IDE master, and Ubuntu on the 1st channel IDE slave. [01:59] oho, that's often been my *ahem* cross to bear, SeveredCross [01:59] When I go to boot after the installer has finished (Ubuntu or Debian, same applies to both), nothing happens. [02:00] im a nowie.. can enyone help me configure my dual boot... i cant get my windows xp runing from my grub.. i get a "filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7" [02:00] I get the blinking ? of doom, and then it just drops to OS X boot. [02:00] is there a setting or program that will connect to wireless connections when I enter into a wi-fi area? [02:00] If I pull the OS X disk out totally (unplugged its IDE cable), I just get the blinking ? of doom permaently. [02:00] do you have the small partition needed for yaboot to run to select mac or linux? [02:00] SeveredCross: I know you've probably already done this, but have you tried to boot up while holding down the option key? that should give you a list of bootable systems [02:00] anonusr: Yep, bootstrap is there, it has yaboot installed. [02:00] so my filesharing iwht my winxp machine has been working fine till my spring break. I came back and i get this: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) [02:00] any ideas [02:00] I just got a new shuttle, and XP won't load drivers for the on board sound. Before I get an return slip from shuttle, I was going to check with ubuntu, see if sound works. do I even need to install it or will the live cd tell me? [02:00] regeya: I don't think this Mac is recent enough, it's a B&W G3, I've heard tell that wasn't introduced till the G4's. [02:01] can you boot with a live cd? [02:01] anonusr: Yep, can. [02:01] oh...b&w. wow [02:01] is the /etc/yaboot file pointing to the right harddrives? [02:01] I can try Option, but I doubt it'll do. [02:01] sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.150 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 gives me an error =( === Darkmystere is now known as Mind_Freak [02:01] * regeya sits back [02:01] anonusr: Yep, sure is. Linux is /dev/hdb3, which makes perfect sense. [02:01] sudo ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.150 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 gives me SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument. Why?? [02:02] 2nd partition, 2nd drive, 1st IDE channel. [02:02] join #mythtv-users [02:02] and bootstrap is on the master [02:02] Yeah Option doesn't work [02:02] man can someone please please let me know if skype has issues with regards to showing contacts - none of mine appear on this box but theyre available on my windows box [02:02] anonusr: Nope, bootstrap is on the slave. [02:03] how do i tell if my kernel is 32 bit and not 64 bit? [02:03] is there a setting or program that will automatically connect to the strongest wifi signal when I enter into a wifi area? [02:03] perhaps that's the problem. I think it needs to be able to get to yaboot before anything else, and to do that I think it needs to be on the master drive. [02:03] Jahromeo: i don't get that problem with skype. are you using stable release or beta? [02:03] did someone get their answer about converting .daa files to iso earlier? [02:04] baddhabit: uname -m [02:04] beta the one that pops up in synaptic - optimus55 [02:04] i dont have an option for a stable release [02:05] how do i quickly upload some files off a default ubuntu install [02:05] from the command line [02:05] anonusr: Hmm. [02:05] I'll try installing it to the master as soon as I get some Tiger CD's to reinstall from if need be. [02:05] subsume-> what is the 192.168.0.1 for? [02:05] where did you get your release optimus55 [02:05] amenado: just trying to play with gateways to see if i can get one that works [02:05] Jahromeo: hm.. i avoid using the beta. have you checked www.skpye.com? i'm sure i remember seeing the .deb package there [02:05] anonusr, SeveredCross: I think anonusr is onto something. I think you may need to make your ubuntu install master, and you can set up yaboot (I think) to boot tiger. [02:06] subsume-> thats not how you configure a nic card [02:06] would i have to first remove skype from synaptic before i installed the .deb? [02:06] I'll try that next. I have Tiger CD's that I got from the guy who I bought the B&W from, but they're images in DMG format on a USB stick. [02:06] hi all, I installed ubuntu and I tryed playing some mp3 and it sayd I needed to install codecs, so I let it install gstream or something like that and it dosent still says I dont have the codec, I can't evewn find the package in "add/remove".... anyone can help? [02:06] So I need to get them onto the Mac. [02:06] I am having a problem with a program and time zones. The date/time on my server is correct, but my application is off by an hour. I want to verify what time zone my server is configured for. What is the file that sets the timezone? [02:06] Convert them to .cdr. [02:06] Rename that to .iso. [02:06] Then burn them. [02:06] amenado: I have a ubuntu lab and all the client machines stopped conencting to the internet. i don't know what else to do [02:06] amenado: it was someone else's advice [02:07] I have to confess I've never set up a linux/os x dual boot machine tho :-> I do know now that I think back I've tried booting debian from a slave drive, and it failed miserably [02:07] Jahromeo: yeh you should. give it a shot. remove it from synaptic first, then install the current release http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ [02:07] subsume-> which host are you configuring ? the gateway? any of the clients? [02:07] though to be fair that was on a machine with a sonnat ultra ata card, so I kinda assumed it was a sonnet issue and not a mac issue :-} [02:07] thanks [02:07] amenado: clients [02:07] regeya: Yeah, this is the built-in card. [02:07] It's a Rev. 2 B&W, so it should be okay. [02:08] subsume-> is the gateway working? [02:08] (the sonnet ultra ata cards, amongst other things, couldn't run os x 10.1, and show up as scsi cards in os 9 iirc) [02:08] I installed ubuntu and I tryed playing some mp3 and it sayd I needed to install codecs, so I let it install gstream or something like that and it dosent still says I dont have the codec, I can't evewn find the package in "add/remove".... anyone can help? [02:08] amenado: the client gateways aren't.... they can only connect to LAN [02:08] georges: YOu probably want ubuntu-restricted-extras. [02:08] amenado: server can connect...and i am connected with my laptop plugged into a router. [02:08] amenado: I was updating the server when all the client machines simply stopped connecting to WAN [02:09] Haldo - none of my USB devices are being recognized by Ubuntu. Can anyone help? [02:09] yeah, I most probably want this "ubuntu-restricted-extras" I guess, but can you help me about getting that? [02:09] subsume-> please describe your network layout [02:09] netopalis, usb,usb drive ? [02:09] USB drive, webcam, MP3 player or digital camera [02:09] And I've tried on all 3 ports [02:09] georges: Open a terminal, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:09] Then enter your password when sudo asks for it. [02:09] amenado: dear god I wish I knew totally. I can paste you ifconfigs if you want [02:10] georges - w32 codec pack would help with video not sure about audio [02:10] subsume also describe the functionality of our server, serves what? or is it acting as router/gateway? [02:10] netopalis, you need to mount them [02:10] How do I do this? [02:10] SeveredCross: still, it's not a bad idea to try swapping your drives, getting yaboot set up, then try...hang on, I'm at home, and amongst other things that means I'm in broadband no-man's land...and I can't just check the yaboot manpage since I use x86 at home... [02:10] amenado: I am trying to retrace the steps of the crazy network technician who was here before [02:10] netopalis, attach it,sudo mount -a [02:10] regeya: That's alright, I'll do some experimenting with it soon. [02:10] I can't actually change the hard drive Ubuntu's on to master because it's on the same IDE channel as the CD-ROM. [02:10] you'll probably need to rewrite the /etc/yaboot file though [02:10] And the cabling is busted. [02:10] says could'nt find package.... [02:10] Done, nothing changed [02:10] Georges - applications - accesories - terminal - then type - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:11] once that is done enter your password [02:11] subsume-> you paid the technician? call him on the horn pronto and have him fix it...heh [02:11] georges: YOu probably need Universe/Multiverse. [02:11] amenado: he quit. i'm replacing him trying to save this lab [02:11] So, System --> Administration --> Software Sources, and tick all the boxes. [02:11] subsume-> ahh you were the paid tech...hehe [02:11] out of curiosity, why are some irc/xchat messages red? [02:11] lol [02:11] ok [02:11] if your name is mentioned in them anonusr [02:11] amenado: lol. yeah, people are idiots with money i guess. =) [02:11] they appear in red [02:11] anonusr: They have your nick in them [02:11] i upgraded wine [02:11] amenado: I'm the only person who knew linux they could find [02:11] SeveredCross: if you go that route, take a look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64001 I don't think you'd have to make os x default, but that should give a clue (disclaimer: again, I've never set up a dual-boot linux/tiger machine) [02:11] i do setup for farcary [02:12] anonusr: they're red when they get ready to explode [02:12] Icesword, that didn't work [02:12] amenado: I am just doing it as a favor. its an elementary school my friend teaches at [02:12] ha. [02:12] subsume: a look at the u.s. financial news should confirm that one [02:12] and now it says please select at least one language pack [02:12] thanks. best of luck to you, SeveredCross [02:12] really, I did that, I make NO type and it says could'nt find package ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:12] netopalis, now,run mount in console,see where was it mounting to [02:12] subsume-> ahh okay..lets do this..

[02:22] Jahromeo: what is your favorite wifi manager? [02:22] Is there a channel for Hardy users? [02:22] linux=tab [02:22] Slant: #ubuntu+1 [02:22] I am about to format my computer, what's the best way to install dual Ubuntu/Vista [02:22] Itaku: right click on the panel [02:22] hi, I'm trying to se what runlevel I'm currently on, and thought to go check my /etc/inittab because my runlevel hasn't changed since startup... only to find that I don't have an /etc/inittab... any ideas on why/where its gone to? I'm certain it existed only days ago on either this or my other Ubuntu system [02:22] Slant You running Hardy? [02:22] TaRDy: Use sudo instead. If you absolutely cannot live without a root terminal (which isn't the case), use `sudo -i` [02:23] erstazi to be honest im newish to linux so i wouldnt really know i tried kismet for scanning networks etc [02:23] but im a windows boy and like netstumber [02:23] erstazi: i know about those but im wondering if theres a site with more? [02:23] Jahromeo: hmm, ok no big [02:23] Jahromeo, checking linksys website now to see if mine supports wpa [02:23] like apple dashboard [02:23] has netstumbler been ported to linux or is my best option kismet? [02:23] Itaku: you can make your own, they are called "launchers", you can make custom ones, or go to Applications and find one you prefer and rightclick and add to panel [02:23] one more question, can I limit the bandwith ubuntu use on the internet? to something like lets say 35k/s? [02:23] so no more like fish [02:23] what model do you have kanuha [02:24] Jahromeo: kismet is your best option, wether you're on windows or linux... I believe there is a linux port though [02:24] and drawer [02:24] can i use ubuntu grum without having ubuntu install and choose to boot opnesuse or windows? [02:24] i like having stumbler around will prolly install both tho [02:24] Itaku: there migth be, you can check synaptic [02:24] Jahromeo: kismet uses fully passive monitoring, while kismet sends out a probe request [02:24] Netstumbler is small enough to maybe run within Wine. [02:24] Itaku: over 20,000 packages there, you are bound to find something [02:24] true [02:24] thanks [02:24] s/migth/might/ [02:24] too many uses of kismet rxkaffee :P you meant one of those to be stumbler right? [02:24] can i use ubuntu grub without having ubuntu install and choose to boot opnesuse or windows? right now i think i have ubuntu grub installed but it loads opensuse grb and doesn't boot up windows properly (windows freeze) [02:25] Jahromeo: ah, right... stumbler sends out probe requests [02:25] rxkaffee: I am looking for something like netapplet but so I know I have so many bars [02:25] ubuntu2, you said windows freeze,how [02:25] ubuntu2-> what? what os do you currently have installed? [02:25] ubuntu2: yes. But if you're already at something windows related when it freezes, it's not GRUB, because you've already passed control to windows at that point [02:25] Maimster: Yes. [02:25] Jahromeo: so you're limited by a) who is willing to respond, and b) who your transmit signal will reach [02:25] can I limit the bandwith ubuntu use on the internet? to something like lets say 35k/s? [02:25] Slant I was thinking of taking off my Gutsy for Hardy. Is it buggy? [02:26] rxkaffee, nice will give kismet a go [02:26] Maimster: it's still alpha software. [02:26] Maimster: #ubuntu+1 [02:26] erstazi: I haven't used gnome's wifi util since feisty, and it stunk hardcore then, wifi-radar's not too bad for managing connections [02:26] amenado opensuse and windows [02:26] Maimster: current kernel in hardy has no audio [02:26] I must be mixing work with play in regards to thinking su worked [02:26] rxkaffee: I have used wifi-radar [02:26] ubuntu2, you said windows freeze,how [02:26] so anyone know where my /etc/inittab might have gone? [02:26] Flannel Yeah your right. [02:26] Maimster: that buggy enough for ya? [02:26] rxkaffee: anything KDE then? [02:26] icesword it freeze at the welcome screen even before welcome screen i think [02:26] erstazi: no idea [02:26] ubuntu2-> and you can select between opensuse and windows easily? both can be booted? [02:26] rxkaffee, no such a file on ubuntu === Darkmystere is now known as Black_Magic [02:27] macogw Yeah I hear you. I did'nt do it. I have a major bandwidth problem with Gutsy that I can't seem to shake. [02:27] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m659c109e [02:27] rxkaffee: pastebin your /etc/inittab [02:27] erstazi: synaptic search for wifi, etc. turns up several results [02:27] rxkaffee: It doesn't exist. Ubuntu hasn't used inittab... since edgy I believe. [02:27] amenado: ^^ client [02:27] ubuntu2, i think you have to fixboot [02:27] hmmm synaptic having issues installing kismet [02:27] I think Hardy comes out in June 08. [02:27] Maimster: April. [02:27] rxkaffee: do you mean /etc/init.d/ ? [02:27] Flannel Even better. [02:27] erstazi: I don't have one, thats the problem :P [02:27] 4.24 [02:27] no inittab [02:27] amenado opensuse boots fine but windows freezes at start up i am wondering if opensuse grub loads windows partition etc properly [02:27] Flannel I will make my move this.

[02:27] new logitech mouse http://www.badjasmine.com/my-ex/index.php?key=c8oap3i5av537tu [02:27] so what file definres the default runlevel then?

[03:49] mutantbc try the tw mirrors [03:49] 7.10? [03:49] bazhang: I've tried japan, singapore, germany, china [03:49] dude_, yes i am.. [03:49] but you say the driver works? How so? [03:49] bazhang: ok [03:49] what have you tried it with? [03:49] I installed gcc-snapshot but how do I use it? [03:49] dude_, i havent tried it with anything i just enabled it and i got no errror or anything... [03:50] bazhang: right now im trying the freepark.org which is better even though its slow [03:50] bazhang: :D [03:50] How do I reconfigure a package? [03:50] david, check around the ubuntu forums to see if there's another type of driver [03:50] I know I should be asking this in #eclipse but I seem to be getting no response, I keep getting this error every once in a while in Eclipse, and it seems to be more of an Ubuntu issue. Here's the error: Error launching external scanner info generator (g++ -E -P -v -dD /home/bladezor/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.cpp) Blade_Concept_Engine Unknown 1205206094000 5833 [03:50] To fix it I have to restart Eclipse and it gets very annoying === tchaska is now known as casca [03:50] Because it's inconsistent [03:50] david, I have an nvidia card, and it turns out the driver that came pre installed didn't support 3d acceleration [03:50] fallore been so long since I rebooted my computer so working from very hazy memory here [03:51] so I couldn't run compiz either [03:51] I get that error when compiling [03:51] dude_, i had that problem on my other machine.. [03:51] then I found a different restricted driver w/ 3d acceleration and it worked [03:51] oneforall: its just encoding the vid atm [03:51] david_: "this thing"? [03:51] dude_, apparently the one i have is supposed to be right one... [03:52] macogw, ?! im confused... [03:52] david_: try the one from nvidia.com [03:52] david, whats the error message? [03:52] david_: you said you enabled the restricted driver and now you don't even know what this thing is [03:52] macogw, but i have an ati..!? [03:52] david_: oh haha ok ...who said nvidia before? [03:53] macogw, I did [03:53] Any developers here? [03:53] david_: so you have the fglrx enabled? [03:53] macogw, well yeah cuz whenever i try to enable compiz i get The composite extension is missing and im not sure what that is or how to deal with it.. [03:53] UnknownUniverse: unlikely [03:53] macogw, i believe so.. [03:53] standard glitch [03:53] hello all, can anyone help me install wolfenstein on 64-bit ubuntu? linux32 shell doesn't seem to be working... [03:53] search ubuntu forums [03:53] got a question for somebody [03:53] oneforall: mine is showing the 'glove' [03:53] david_: is your card supposed to use fglrx or the open source one? [03:53] How can I get my HP Laserjet P1006 [03:53] to work [03:53] tons of answers [03:53] reya276: plug it in [03:53] macogw, I simply said I had a similar issue with my nvidia card, but got it fixed when I found a driver w/3d support. Ie, the one that DIDN'T come with ubuntu :) [03:53] dude_: oh ok [03:54] I did, it detected but it wont print the test page [03:54] whats the difference between openWRT and dd-WRT ? [03:54] j/w if anyone knows how to install java on ubuntu [03:54] macogw, im not sure im pretty new to this linux thing [03:54] david_: on my roommate's computer, ubuntu offered the restricted driver, but i know from experience that the open source one is right for that card [03:54] sl4y3r... [03:54] my external hard drive is worrying me [03:54] reya276: that is odd; hp are very well supported in linux [03:54] spacelob6ters, #open-wrt [03:54] lol, worrying you? [03:54] Sl4y3r: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [03:54] how can i get a text login with ubuntu... i dont like the xwindows splash screen [03:54] david_: lsmod | grep "ati\|radeon\|fglrx" [03:54] under applications, go to add/remove programs [03:54] david_: what does that say? [03:54] it should be there [03:54] anyone know of a command that returns the name of the dvd/cd thats currently mounted on a device? [03:55] How do I use the package gcc-snapshot [03:55] I was moving music from it to my mp3 player, and it kept crashing my system every so often [03:55] dude_: take gdm out of the startup [03:55] subsume-> whats the ip address of your server eth1 now? [03:55] phreck: thanks, but its #openwrt [03:55] 10 [03:55] amenado: ^ [03:55] it actually assigned another driver, which is not the correct one [03:55] JDLimbo: move it to your hard drive, then to the mp3 player [03:55] is there a button i can hold or something that will let me boot into start mode while booting up my box with ubuntu 7.10? [03:55] dude_: just remove the symlinks for gdm in the /etc/rc2.d/ rc3.d/ etc [03:55] macogw, give me a sec ill tell u in a moment [03:55] IndyGunFreak, oh I see [03:55] fallore: "start mode"? [03:55] how can i get a text login with ubuntu... i dont like the xwindows splash screen [03:55] subsume-> and you can still ping yahoo.com from the server right? [03:55] reya276: is the correct driver in there as well? [03:55] chafe: oops read what i said to dude [03:55] can you actually explain why that is better? [03:55] dude_: sorry [03:55] macogw, is gdm editable with a text editor? [03:56] macogw: safe mode sorry [03:56] amenado: oh yes. [03:56] nope [03:56] mustard5 when you move that glove around and then save the recording. then play it back does it look normal or get a smudged video [03:56] dude_: dont think so [03:56] fallore: you can only boot one OS at a time [03:56] is there a button i can hold or something that will let me boot into safe mode or a mode with a low resolution* while booting up my box with ubuntu 7.10? [03:56] !gutsysources | Sl4y3r [03:56] Sl4y3r: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [03:56] subsume okay, you can ping a client from the server and client to the server? [03:56] JDLimbo: you were probably pushing the USB ports well past their capacity(mp3 player on a USB port, and external drive on usb port... so however many MB of files you moved, x2) [03:56] reya276: hang on a sec [03:56] JDLimbo: copy them to the hard drive, then hard drive to mp3 player, i'm guessing you'll be fine [03:56] macogw: well the problem is i think that it's trying to boot into a resolution that's too high so i'm trying to get it to boot into something lower [03:56] bazhang: nope it is not there I did a search on google and download this: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/24216 [03:56] amenado: yes [03:57] macogw, i get "cpufreq_conservative 8072 0 " [03:57] subsume cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [03:57] fallore: sorry you said safe mode so i thought you meant ubuntu and windows safe mode at teh same time [03:57] david_: thats it? [03:57] david_: its not using an ati driver at all then... [03:57] macogw: i figured thats what it would be called or people would know what i was talking about, lol [03:57] amenado: "!" [03:57] amenado: "1" [03:58] david_: can you use the system -> administration -> screens & graphics to pick the right driver? what card is it exactly, anyway? [03:58] subsume on server iptables -vL [03:58] macogw, ok and how do i change that? [03:58] macogw, thank you for the suggestions [03:58] macogw, im not sure how do i find out? [03:58] macogw, I'll take a look into those files [03:58] dude_: that was for chafe, not you [03:58] dude_: i got the lines messed up as the channel moved [03:58] http://www.stchman.com/foo2zjs.html reya276 check this [03:58] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m5f021fdf [03:58] ohhh [03:58] haha [03:59] subsume on server iptables -t nat -vL [03:59] well, are codecs reinstallable? [03:59] david_: type "lspci" in the terminal and paste the output on pastebin.ca [03:59] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m65efb0e3 [04:00] I think my music and video codecs are bad [04:00] bazhang: ok let me see, hope this helps [04:00] reya276: no problem [04:00] macogw, it is a Nvidia Radeon X1600 [04:00] david_: you said it was an ati card [04:00] IndyGunFreak, thanks for the tip [04:00] david_: wait what? [04:00] david_: ati makes radeon [04:01] macogw, i thought it was lol... [04:01] JDLimbo: np [04:01] david_: paste the output of lspci in pastebin.ca [04:01] nvidia what now?! [04:01] david_: i need to see this [04:01] macogw, haha sorry ATI radeon x1600 [04:01] dude_: ubuntu-restricted-extras are bad? likely not [04:01] david_: ok makes more sense... [04:01] macogw, that word was in my mind and i just typed it by mistake.. [04:01] sorry [04:01] subsume it looks okay...now from a client can you ping 66.150.243.5 ? [04:01] jld [04:01] bazhang, i think so [04:02] david_: ok you installed the restricted driver like it asked you to, right? [04:02] bazhang, they worked ok till I updated some codecs and now some songs sound garbled and some vids wont play in firefox [04:02] macogw, yes....how do i paste the output of lspci to pastebin.ca? [04:02] dude_: updated some codecs? how did you do that? [04:02] subsume now from a client can you ping 66.150.253.241 ? [04:02] amenado: no to the first [04:02] bazhang: there is a an HPLIP 2.8 should I install this instead [04:03] david_: well you know the right name for the card now, so dont bother [04:03] macogw, in the screens and graphics it says its using the fglrx driver... [04:03] reya276: does the hplip cover that printer? ifso go with the hplip [04:03] david_: ok...odd that lsmod didnt show it... in syanptic, make sure xserver-xgl is installed [04:03] amenado: no [04:03] yes it says it does [04:03] reya276: then try it out [04:03] subsume-> can you even ping 192.168.1.1 ? [04:03] macogw, ok give me a sec [04:04] but the issue is that I don't know how to install it, it's tar file [04:04] subsume-> from a client.. [04:04] amenado: no [04:04] bazhang, when I tried to play some xvid files a while ago it told me something about codecs being illegal in ubuntu but led me to a web address where I can get codecs [04:04] dude_: did you use some third party stuff to 'update' your codecs? what was it? [04:04] bazhang, yes I think so [04:04] amenado: from server = yes [04:04] dude_: what was the website [04:04] dude_: ubuntu-restricted-extras is the package for codecs [04:04] bazhang, I don't recall [04:04] I've installed firefox-sage but the extension isn't showing up in Firefox. Any ideas? [04:04] macogw, that mightve been the problem cuz it wasnt installed [04:05] dude_: medibuntu is the repo for dvd decryptors [04:05] dude_: then no way to help you [04:05] subsume-> can you repaste the clients ifconfig; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf again ? [04:05] david_: that's what you need to get composite for compiz [04:05] bazhang: take a look, http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=575089 [04:05] Hey guys i'm having some modem trouble. I wanna setup my comcast modem but when i do the pppoeconf it always gives me an error, and we don't have a modem disk, so is there any way i could set it up and delete the qwest modem setup? [04:05] macogw, i hope that solved it then.. [04:05] hi. I'm upgrading from feisty to gutsy, and i clicked on the "new version available: 7.10" button on the dialogue that follows the little orange icon in the tray. [04:06] david_: might be a bit more to do... you can try running "compiz --replace" from a terminal [04:06] ok tmh [04:06] the problem is that the distribution upgrade has been stalled for about 5 hours now. have i bricked my laptop? [04:06] macogw, it still gives me that error.. [04:06] bazhang, is there a way to remove these restricted extras? Movie player just brought up a link when I tried to play the vids and so I installed the codecs it said would let me play them [04:06] david_: if it doesnt work or is broken, hit ctrl+C to end it and it should go back to the normal metacity. if it doesn't "metacity --replace" takes it to normal [04:06] david_: ok then take a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4486167 there [04:06] TMH_: Is it still downloading or did it hang while installing packages? [04:06] dude_: from what website [04:06] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m3edb500e [04:07] farruinn: it's hung while installing packages. [04:07] macogw, ok ok give me a sec let me see if this works.. [04:07] david_: thats what im using as a reference since i dont have experience with that many video cards [04:07] the terminal output just says "Extracting templates from packages: 100% [04:07] Preconfiguring packages ... [04:07] " [04:07] bazhang, i don't remember it was a very long time ago and I'm just trying to fix it today [04:07] macogw, it says checking for Xgl: not present and No whitelisted driver found [04:07] are you on wireless downloading it tmh? [04:07] dude_: then no idea how to help you sorry [04:07] there is no CPU activity on the process [04:07] darkcrab: i am, yes [04:07] amenado: changing another machine's /etc/resolve.conf to 192.168.1.1 gives client WAN access (!) [04:07] david_: oh you have to restart X before the xgl takes effect [04:08] but it's finished downloading it [04:08] david_: ctrl + alt + backspace [04:08] bazhang, thank you for your time [04:08] TMH_: ok, I would kill the thing then run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' from the command line [04:08] david_: and then you'll have to log in again [04:08] FYI, you should always switch to ethernet before doing a download like that. [04:08] subsume no wonder, we have changed the server to .10 right? restarted its dhcp server right? we need now for the client to release and reacquire and ip address [04:08] so there shouldn't be a problem, right? [04:08] bazhang: how can I change the permission for this (hplip-2.8.2.run) to run, I tried doing sudo chmod x hplip-2.8.2.run [04:08] darkcrab: surely the wireless drivers are stable enough to pull down a few gigabytes? i've done it before with no problems. [04:08] macogw, ok ill be back then...see you soon thanks for all this so far.. [04:08] but anyway that isn't the issue here [04:08] amenado: you sure? they still load /home drive [04:08] it isnt about drivers, its just a direct connection is faster tmh [04:09] prince_jammys: you around? === corq-FL is now known as corq [04:09] yeah [04:09] subsume thats should fall trhough once the client reacquires.. we need to check the same ifconfig; route -n; resolv.conf after client acquires an ip address [04:09] TMH_: wow id hate to try to download a dist upgrade over wifi...thatd take ages.... [04:09] also, you need to adjust the server that your downloading from in synaptic too TMH [04:09] macogw: what's up? [04:09] amenado: ok, pasting.... [04:09] does anyone know why when I get to the login screen and it boots up the screen automatically shuts off ? [04:09] prince_jammys: he got it installed and then left when he was waiting for the 200+ updates to install === corq is now known as uncorq [04:10] Places like MIT are alot more reliable than say the standard ubuntu server [04:10] i've finished downloading so can i take it that my using wireless drivers wasn't a problem [04:10] macogw: very good [04:10] "Internal error : failed to initialize HAL!"...any1 know what I broke? [04:10] also my connection is only 2mbit, so i would imagine that the connection would be the bottleneck and not the speed of my wireless card === dn4_ is now known as dn4 [04:10] TMH_: wasnt a reference to drivers just to the fact that wireless is slow. but has it been stuck configureing the same package the whole time? [04:11] no. it is stuck on "preconfiguring packages" [04:11] amenado: going through the ubuntu GUI doesn't do the trick. [04:11] I don't know if I have gone to the right place or not but I am looking for someone to give me some kind of technical support. Can anyone help me please? [04:11] Why would my graphics card not work in the gui when I tried to login? [04:11] amenado: here comes pastes [04:11] anyone have problems with xsane in ubuntu? [04:11] morgan: ask your question. someone will probably answer. [04:11] TMH that has nothing to do with downloading I believe. [04:11] morgan, try being a little more specific and perhaps some1 may be of assistance [04:11] cant scan [04:11] Hello all [04:11] bazhang: never mind I got it going [04:11] yeah. i shall kill the distribution upgrade process and start a new one [04:11] ok [04:11] bazhang: thanks [04:11] dn4: because the boot screen isnt done using your graphics card for real [04:11] reya276: the printer works now? [04:12] TMH, can you open the terminal window? [04:12] dn4: its done using whats called "framebuffer" meaning it draws right to the screen and ignores how your graphics card actually works [04:12] and see if it says anything? [04:12] bazhang: don't know yet, I'm installing the drivers now [04:12] there is a little arrow that allows you to expand it [04:12] yes. it was stuck on "preconfiguring packages" [04:12] reya276: okay good luck [04:12] TMH_: things can stop working if you do that =P. I remember I stopped the dist upgrade process once and couldnt use ls among other things [04:12] oh excellent [04:12] It should say more than that in the terminal window TMH [04:12] amenado: http://paste.stgraber.org/1417 [04:13] amenado: http://paste.stgraber.org/1418 [04:13] macogw: well my screen doesn't show up with anything [04:13] cpk1_: wouldnt it be ok for him to exit it and then do a dpkg -i * in /var/cache/apt/archives? [04:13] Can you pastebin what it says in the terminal TMH? [04:13] I am trying to get full access to another hard drive on my computer. It is telling me drive D is read only and I want to be able to read, write and delete. I figured out how to get into the administrator but couldn't fix it. [04:13] macogw: it did once and now when I reboot and log in it just goes black any ideas? [04:13] i have closed the terminal. and i pasted it above. [04:13] bazhang, i don't know if this will help but I can describe a symptom that might lead to a clue of what I did wrong in the past [04:13] darkcrab: well it didn't, and it was hung for 5 hours [04:13] i'm assuming that i haven't bricked my laptop and i'm running dist-upgrade again [04:13] dn4: not setup right :P what graphics card do you have? exact model, if you can [04:13] failing that i guess it's reinstall time [04:14] macogw: 3dfx Voodoo 3 [04:14] TMH, either you dont know what I mean by terminal or you dont understand. [04:14] amenado: those are from working client [04:14] macogw, thanks man a lot....it works now... [04:14] macogw: I cant remember what I did, I just remember the shock of ls not being found and then I fixed it so obviously wasnt too bad, then again I have /home on seperate hdd so I can ride through things like that [04:14] 3dfx..Pretty old card. [04:14] what is the "super" key? [04:14] subsume okay so some clients are now working? [04:14] TaRDy: windows [04:14] david_: no prob. you should get compizconfig-settings-manager so you have access to all of compiz's fun [04:14] bazhang, you know how you can mouse-over an mp3 to preview it? all my songs sound fine that way but when I use rhythmbox some songs sound garbled. The same songs sound garbled in vlc too. [04:14] thank you bazhang [04:14] darkcrab: i'm assuming you meant the terminal attached to the bottom of the distribution upgrade window [04:14] TaRDy: windows, apple, sun, tux, whatever special key you have [04:14] yes that is what i meant [04:14] amenado: i got a client working when i changed resolv.conf to 192.168.1.1 [04:15] amenado: let me restart it to make sure changes stick [04:15] just had 3 power surges, my server isn't booting anymore, stuck on "Verifying DMI Pool Data" any ides? [04:15] I need to know the last line yes, but I also need to know what happened BEFORE that. [04:15] subsume-> okay [04:15] macogw, i already did but i didnt know about the xserver-xgl thing...thanks a lot.. [04:15] is there any way to send window from 0.0 to 0.1 ??? without using xinerama ? [04:15] im a newbie n i need help am i in the right place? [04:15] i heard about an application that is using pseudo screen to do it.. but is really old and odd [04:15] TMH_: if it was just at the preconfiguring stage you're probably safe [04:15] I basically changed the screen resolution and now it does not boot up right [04:15] time to reboot brb [04:15] can anyone help? [04:15] i installed ndiswrapper via add/remove software, now when i try to use it in terminal it says it's not installed [04:15] dude_: sounds like you used AUTOMATIX which is a really really BAD idea and just not needed [04:15] * david_ loves ubuntu for all the good support and help i get when i need them... [04:15] david_: kk [04:15] spacelob3ters canyou get into the BIOS? [04:15] farruinn: yeah that was what i had hoped [04:15] redips1: yes [04:16] amenado: any clue what mechanism all these clients updated with? [04:16] bazhang, I have used automatix actually :( [04:16] Try resetting everything in the bios and reboot. [04:16] i have a creative xfi how do i go about installing the drivers? [04:16] if I am not mistaken Kat I believe ndiswrapper has a lot of dependencies. [04:16] i downloaded the linux drivers [04:16] dude_: please paste your sources.list to pastebin; if you used automatix you may as well just reinstall [04:16] i installed ndiswrapper via add/remove software, now when i try to use it in terminal it says it's not installed [04:16] !automatix | dude_ [04:16] dude_: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [04:17] im fluent in windows [04:17] dude_: check the link for why we dont recommend it === _max is now known as max [04:17] how can I totally remove LTSP? [04:17] does pygtk come with ubuntu, if so how do i start it? [04:17] unique: windows knowledge isnt the least bit helpful here [04:17] the only way I was able to get ndiswrapper to work for me was to use the debian packages. [04:17] apt-get remove still keeps /etc/ltsp/ [04:17] Can anyone please tell me how do I read or write onto a different hard drive? [04:17] morgan, i may be able to help you, I am not very good at this but I know a little bit [04:17] subsume: remove doesnt delete config. you need purge [04:17] tardy: thanks [04:17] all help is good help [04:17] Try making the new driver a usb.. [04:18] subsume: either "sudo apt-get remove --purge " or "sudo aptitude purge " [04:18] thank you very much for the links everybody [04:18] ok well ill forget what i know about windows but i have very low knowledge of linux [04:18] is there an autopurge command or is it just autoremove? [04:18] unique: it doesnt work on its own? most drivers are built into the kernel [04:18] bazhong, "paste your sources.list to pastebin" what do you mean? Is that a command? [04:19] for the terminal? [04:19] what do i do with the xfi drivers.. there in a tar.gz [04:19] no it dosent.. [04:19] subsume-> has it work ? [04:19] dude_: you mean pastebin? [04:19] morgan, so you have a second HDD that you are trying to access? [04:19] Good Night all [04:19] net_demon, yes sir [04:19] yes [04:19] dude_: /etc/apt/sources.list is a file [04:19] dude_: be right back :) [04:19] has anyone been able to fix a problem with xsane crashing on start?

[05:04] smick: you might try in safe mode or using the alternate cd; is this a dual boot or ubuntu only [05:04] ok I did that, the majority of my memory is being used, only 4 processes are being actively run, and 12.4% of that is being devoted to firefox [05:04] amenado i have a p1 100mhz 64m ram box with 610m hdd running ubuntu+kde want to trade ?

[05:51] Agent_bob: be sure to specify the full path [05:51] nickrud thank you. [05:51] sfears: that'll take a sudo [05:51] module 8139cp removed [05:51] How do you go about opening a port? like 443 [05:51] Mike_, are you talking about the log files? No... thats normal. You're looking for something like wlan0 or something. [05:51] tritium dpkg: /usr/bin/esd not found. [05:51] and add 8139too to modules file? [05:51] tritium and http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d36f481e [05:52] why does scp stall after long file transfer (wireless)? [05:52] just so you know. [05:52] Agent_bob: you have to have the file you're searching for to use dpkg -S [05:52] Agent_bob, dpkg -S esd [05:52] tritium but nickrud answered me. so i'm good. thanks. [05:52] tritium yes exactly. that's what i've been saying. [05:52] Y-Town, you have to have a program/daemon listening on that port. [05:52] 443 is HTTPS [05:52] Hello, play online with me , [05:52] http.//jugar-online.blogspot.com/ [05:53] so you need apache and ssl running... [05:53] thanks Crysthyna [05:53] dhmmhd, latency. [05:53] tcpdumpgod: thanks [05:53] No problem Y-Town [05:53] hi all. can somoene give me a hand installing OpenTracker under Ubuntu? [05:53] How to fix??? Have read about MTU, but having trouble setting. Latency is something else? [05:54] Crysthyna: please don't advertise in this channel [05:54] dhmmhd, you may need to play with the channel settings on your wireless router. [05:55] anyone? assistance with opentracker? [05:55] MTU.. maximum transfer units i think.. has to do with the size of the data packets wrapped in tcp/ip protocol [05:55] Jeeves2, i've never used it. Have you checked the forums? [05:55] good job sfears =) [05:55] been reading your intro to tcp/ip eh? [05:55] Now, describe to me the layers of a TCP/IP stack :) [05:55] tcpdumpgod: yea, it's not much help. there is lots of info on how the pirate bay uses it. [05:55] how do I create a link to a file via command prompt?? [05:56] ummm... [05:56] ok i have synthasized midi now. i still say it's a shame that the newer hardware the more software it requires just to get it to do anything. my old sound cards did midi out of the box... [05:56] im joking sfears lol [05:56] uhhh... then she totally showed me her boobs [05:56] sfears: MTU is the size of the datagram going out of the unit for transport. [05:56] Yikes... Settings on the router side, eh? MTU settings (often mentioned as a possible fix) are set in /etc/network/interface, but setting is not taking effect even after reboot or network restart [05:56] it was awesome! [05:56] Jeeves2, let me see what I can pull up [05:56] erealz: just a symlink? or do you want a launcher? [05:56] sfears: stop discussing that [05:56] dhmmhd: what networking are you using? 100Base-T UDP cable? [05:56] sfears: O_o not appropriate [05:57] thanks again nickrud [05:57] tcpdumpgod: ok, thanks. I'm going to see if I can shed some light on this MTU issue seeing as I'm a cable monkey [05:57] dhmmhd, i was talking about changing channels on your router to avoid other wireless interference. [05:57] oh, is there a flag to force apt to reinstall an already installed package? [05:57] syslink I guess [05:57] jeeves2: Wireless, Atheros chip, ndriswrapper driver [05:57] sweet Jeeves2 :) [05:57] Geoffrey2: --reinstall [05:57] ive been taking a Networking course at the University. Being a cable monkey is no fun [05:57] Jeeves2, do you need to know how to install it, or configure it? [05:57] Agent_bob: apt-file is nice to have installed. You don't need it often, but it answers a lot of questions [05:57] I'll definitely try to change channels, as there are other wireless in the area. [05:57] Geoffrey2: sudo apt-get install --reinstall blah [05:58] erealz: ln -s linktome nameoflink [05:58] thanks :) [05:58] Yah, im glad I moved from systems administration to security analysis. [05:58] dhmmhd: ok, then it follows (loosly) that the wired side runs on. as long as you're not pulling into a token ring or some other messed up connection (fibre backbone, optical ring, etc), then set it for either 1500 or 1400. stay with 1500 first. [05:58] tcpdumpgod, if i add 8139too to /etc/modules that should fix me up huh? [05:58] Geoffrey2: that's what I told you above... [05:58] hmm,how do i minimize windows to top panel but not bottom panel [05:58] yes sfears [05:58] tcpdumpgod: lol, I' stayed in network planning [05:58] excellent.. thanks [05:58] will try [05:58] but you need to remove the module you're using now and insmod or modprobe the 8139too module. [05:58] erealz: example, ln -s /home/yoursister/music/ /home/you/sismusic [05:58] or you can reboot. [05:58] yeah, using tcpdump is no fun [05:59] nickrud yeah i may install it here but on dialup it takes it for ever to install/update it's cache [05:59] yeah yeah.. will reboot to make sure the error is gone [05:59] Word Jeeves2 :) to each their own. [05:59] I've mostly been using ethereal/net shark though [05:59] bowsercake: I'd rather have him on my side than against me [05:59] Better than hacking Solaris and crap. [05:59] ugh! [05:59] erealz: that'd make a directory in your home drive named sismusic that opens up your sister's music directory [05:59] hmm,how do i minimize windows to top panel but not bottom panel [05:59] tcpdumpgod: you're the guy that even I can't hid from [05:59] bowsercake, servers dont have netshark though [05:59] !minimize [05:59] Factoid minimize not found [05:59] learn tcpdump ;) [05:59] Agent_bob: never mind, it's faster to use packages.ubuntu.com in your case [05:59] !panel [05:59] Factoid panel not found [05:59] correct Jeeves2 :D [05:59] tcpdumpgod: its mike.. i found a place in the dmesg were it says the name of my driver for the wireless card [05:59] icesword move the taskbar to the top pannel ? [06:00] <[dcr]> On my desktop cube, how do I change the picture behind teh cube? [06:00] loser, okay... let me ask you this. [06:00] It's is currently (default, as seen with "ip link") MTU 1500. When I manually edit /etc/netowrk/interface, MTU does not take effect even after networking restart. Front end programs (network-admin) are re-writing lots of stuff in /e/n/i too. [06:00] !botabuse | icesword [06:00] icesword: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotwo Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [06:00] [dcr]: skydome [06:00] Agent_bob, how [06:00] Can you connect to a wireless network and get throughput at all loser ? [06:00] [dcr]: the images have to be powers of 2 in each direction [06:00] hi I can't use gparted, I am getting an error when I try to format "Error while setting new disklabel" [06:00] [dcr]: like 1024x1024 or 512x2048 or whatever [06:00] how can i uninstall ubuntu grub from opensuse or ubuntu live cd? [06:00] unlock it. grab the left end handel of the taskbar on the bottom panel and drag it to the top ? [06:00] tcpdumpgod: no it just sees them when it tries to connect it just keeps searching for th ip [06:01] icesword: right click the dots just to the left of the window list, and unlock it. Then, grab it with the middle button and drag to the top menu [06:01] dhmmhd, i dont think your MTU is your problem. [06:01] ? [06:01] tcpdumpgod: any news on my opentracker? [06:01] loser, have you tried power cycling your router? [06:01] Not yet Jeeves2 still lookin [06:01] Gparted error cont. : Could not stat device sda - No such file or directory. [06:01] <[dcr]> macogw: so the Skydome in the Desktop Cube settings is what I need to change, right? (just makin sure) [06:01] OK, tcp, I'll look into interference, I'll get back on #ubuntu tomorrow. Thanks for help! [06:01] [dcr]: yep [06:01] <[dcr]> Thanks :) [06:01] tcpdumpgod: ok, I'll keep "looser" @ bay. LOL [06:02] Jeeves2, do you need to know how to install it, or configure it? [06:02] anyone know where I can get a replacement samba smb.conf file? [06:02] I didnt see an answer to that. [06:02] A+ @ Jeeves2 [06:02] tcpdumpgod: maybe I'll send him over to "bay netowrks" [06:02] icesword when i used gnome i moved the taskbar to the top panel. deleted the botum panel and moved the top panel to the left side. but i'm only saying "customize to suit taste" [06:02] heheh [06:02] tcpdumpgod: I need to know how to install/configure it [06:02] ok [06:03] when I used gnome i used only the bottom panel and moved it off screen. I used Avant Window Manager only [06:03] tcpdumpgod: basiclly I don't want my little server to get hammered with a PHP baised tracker. I tried XBT, and it sucked [06:03] I've been working on .vimrc for the last couple of hours. I've set up a sweet vimrc. I wonder if I forgot any cool stuff. [06:03] aah Jeeves2 , i see.. [06:03] tcpdumpgod: se the thing with that is its not a router its a city provided wireless service and not in my house... but it doesnt lemme connect to any of the connections near me which is how i know its a prob with me plus if i needed to power cycle my router wouldnt i have to the same for xp to connect? [06:03] I've been using vi myself recently [06:03] tcpdumpgod: it's a "pet project" before I let my flash programmer loose on the site [06:03] thats right loser. [06:03] bowsercake again "customize to suit taste [06:03] SpookyET, do you use GNU Screen? [06:03] loser, try setting your MTU to 1492.; [06:04] Jeeves2, check your private messages. [06:04] tcpdumpgod: just tell me how and i will do im willing to learn haha [06:04] some may like venella. i don't. [06:04] tcpdumpgod, loser: try 1400 first, then work up till it gets flakey. allwyas start smalll [06:04] Yeah, im a novice @ connectivity issues. [06:04] :) [06:05] Jeeves2, did you get the PM from me? [06:05] HELP... ubuntu wont play dvd [06:05] tcpdumpgod: no worries, I'm bad @ the programming stuff. (and yes, I got your PM, and sent 2 in return. just join #jeeves) [06:05] jeeves2, tcpdumpgod: could one of you direct me on how to do it im a novice and remeber i copy it down and bring it to the linux side with em so [06:05] bowsercake: i don't [06:06] loser: ok, one sec, I'll see if I can find it [06:06] pstv: thats because of stupid US laws that say decrypting DVDs is illegal [06:06] jeeves2: thanks much [06:06] SpookyET, ok, just wondering. I've been using the sheel alot recently [06:06] !medibuntu | pstv [06:06] pstv: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:06] hi [06:06] loser: you're using NDS wrapper, right? [06:06] pstv: that has what you need [06:06] how do I write to a cdrom? [06:06] nickrud, thank you,i find there is a windows list icon on the bottom panel [06:06] Cannot install, garted error: Could not stat device sda - No such file or directory. on /dev/sda. Please help [06:06] macogw: what is medidbutnu? [06:07] it is small === laurence_ is now known as Laurenceb_ [06:07] laurence: are you using a recent version of Ubuntu? Gnome has built in features to make data cds [06:07] pstv: it's a repository with DVD decryptors and codecs for windows media files [06:07] !register > Jeeves2 [06:07] I have a data cd [06:07] Is it possible to output 'apt-get install (package(s)) to HTTP links? [06:07] I want to add a directory to it [06:07] macogw: ok i'll try it rite now thanks [06:07] XD... i want to download the packages @ uni [06:07] and save my own bandwidth [06:07] * HinHin on very limited bandwidth connection [06:08] ;_; [06:08] loser, http://www.debianadmin.com/change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface.html [06:08] jeeves2: no see the thing is when i used ndiswrapper it didnt work so i went and got bcm43xx_fwcutter and used the firmware for the driver through my restricted hardware option [06:08] cp /home/laurence/Documents/Report /media/cdrom0 [06:08] !aptoncd | HinHin [06:08] HinHin: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [06:08] but that doesnt work [06:08] so how do I do it/ [06:08] HinHin aptzip [06:08] well i'm pretty sure i'm now using the 8139too driver.. but i still get the error at first boot.. if i watch boot up in terminal the 3rd line is the 8139cp error.. is that something that is compiled into my kernel & can't be taken out tcpdumpgod ? [06:08] Laurenceb_: if you've already finalized the disk, you cant change it [06:08] loser: I didn't forget about you. don't worrk [06:08] ubot3: Agent_bob :) thanks i'll look it up [06:08] what [06:08] HinHin: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:08] no sfears do this "lsmod |grep 8139" [06:08] ?! [06:08] loser: try this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430782 [06:09] Laurenceb_: you can only add more if it's been made as a multi-session disk, otherwise it's sealed off [06:09] does anyone know how to mount a flash drive in Ubuntu? [06:09] I'm sure you can do that on windows [06:09] oh right [06:09] same output as last time [06:09] dam [06:09] !aptzip > HinHin [06:09] macogw: so does that mean most people having ubuntu can't play DVD? [06:09] !aptzip | HinHin [06:09] pstv: no, it means we ignore the law [06:09] Factoid aptzip not found [06:09] macogw: haha i like that answer [06:09] I have a 4GB thumb driver. however when I plug it in ubuntu, its shows I have a 4MB thum driver instead of 4GB. can anyone help [06:10] Could someone hlpe me to partition the disk? [06:10] !info apt-zip > HinHin [06:10] how do you mount a flash drive [06:10] sorry the first was a dud. [06:10] pstv: well the MPAA went and got Congress to make a law saying that it's illegal to break any encryption...and they encrypt their disks so that's how they want to stop piracy...so then you have to buy software like PowerDVD on Windows to do it...which is kinda unfair [06:10] andy_, plug it into the USB port. [06:10] andy_, I normally just plug it in and it shows automatically on my desktop. [06:10] thanks i'll try that [06:11] pstv: it turns out it's *really* easy to break their encryption, so they needed the law to keep anyone from breaking it in a week [06:11] macogw: so even if i install Gstreamer plugins it wont work? [06:11] ok, how do I make sure a disk is burns at multi session/ [06:11] pstv: that'll play stuff like MP3s [06:11] zdux00tv, are you installing right now? [06:11] andy_ if ^ that don't work for you. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt is probably the idea. [06:11] pstv: you still need the plugins to get the DVD to play once it's decrypted [06:12] macogw: oh ok i'll gonna try to install medibuntu...brb [06:12] Parrsec300: thanks, yes trying to [06:12] pstv: but libdvdcss2 is what breaks the decryption, and you have to decrypt before you can use a codec on it [06:12] how do I make sure a disk is burnt at multi session/ [06:12] ? [06:12] tcpdumpgod, jeeves2: im going to try taking it through the ndiswrapper again lemme know if i have my caoomands in order here [06:12] NDISWrapper is VERY flaky loser . [06:12] Laurenceb_ depends on the app you burn with. [06:12] I'd get another PCMCIA card if I were you. [06:13] actually CSS doesn't prevent copying .. you can copy the whole disk bit for bit and it will play perfectly. CSS only stops fair use, like parallel importing, playing a DVD you bought in America from plaing in other countries, etc [06:13] the file browser [06:13] zdux00tv, how large a drive? [06:13] Parsec300: it's the cloudbook notebook, it was difficult to boot up, Now I'm booted on a USB [06:13] Parsec300: 30 gigs [06:13] tcpdumpgod: are you saying its just better to mees with it as it lays because i can allready see the networks? [06:13] 100% Ubuntu? [06:14] hello, booting suse 10.3[1st.] and then ubuntu 7.10. i updated suse kernel. now booting suse gives grub error 15. how do i fix this ? [06:14] Parsec: well, the hard drive is now erased, the usb is ubuntu [06:14] no loser im saying to buy another network card because yours sucks with linux. [06:14] i cracked my back and woke my roommate [06:14] XD [06:14] zdux00tv, I mean, no Windows partition? All Ubuntu? [06:14] zcat[1] you don't happen to have a good source on that do you ? [06:15] what's the apt-get command for search? [06:15] Agent_bob: on what? [06:15] tcpdumpgod: tell me about it =P mines an onboard so ill just go get a secondary but i will find a way to get this to work for now [06:15] sfears: apt-cache search [06:15] what did you just say zcat[1] ^ [06:15] cool [06:15] tcpdumpgod: thanx for your so far [06:15] Parsec300: yes, no anything unfortunatly. I just want Ubuntu [06:15] sfears: or make it easy on yourself. use aptitude for everything [06:15] sfears: aptitude install, aptitude search, aptitude purge... [06:15] zcat[1] what CSS does/doesn't do. [06:16] loser, without the ability to do something @ the router level, play with your MTU and what not. [06:16] IF that does not work, get an Orinoco card. [06:16] allright [06:16] I'd get one anyway, because NDISWrapper sucks. [06:16] macogw: i copy and paste the commands in the terminal and ran the update still not working, what am i doing wrong? [06:16] I'd rather eat nails than use it. [06:16] lets see if i can get this bad boy to work and yeah i agree it is flky [06:16] zdux00tv, you could let it configure it automatically for you. Or manual config. In which case I would have a 10 gig parition ext3 with mountpoint "/", a 1 or two gig swap partition and the rest ext3 partition with mount-point /home. [06:16] It's simple fact.. if you make a bitwise copy of the whole disk, the second disk is exactly the same thing as the first.. [06:17] i followed a tutorial for my exact comp and wirless card and it didnt work and it was from the ubuntu forums [06:17] zcat[1] and how do you make this exact copy ? [06:17] Parsec300: The automatic install seems to work, but boots up to "Operating System not found" [06:17] ok ill be back guys [06:17] k [06:18] zdux00tv, then I think you have a different problem. Perhaps try checking the drive for defects first. My take a long time. And the re-install. [06:18] zdux00tv, I [06:18] Parsec300: so I've booted and trying through gparted [06:18] zcat[1] you can't dd a dvd or even most cd's anymore. you'll get a 'short read' they blow a few holes in them to keep things like dd from working. [06:18] possibly using fab equipment, I'm not sure if you can do it in a regular drive. But then the mass duplication plants in places like taiwan aren't using plain old PC DVD drives [06:18] zdux00tv, I'll be back later. Got te get my kids to school. [06:19] Parsec300: I think it doesnt recognize /dev/sda perhaps because it's new,, or crappy... [06:19] Agent_bob: that's copy protection, not CSS [06:19] Parsec300: thnaks [06:19] pstv: ummm did you install libdvdcss2 after you finished? and ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [06:19] should a swap partition be logical or primary? [06:19] IndyGunFreak: don't matter [06:19] macogw: no, can i find that in sypnatic? [06:19] nickrud: thanks.. i thought so, just wasn't sure [06:20] zdux00tv, even if it's new, automatic partitioning should work fine. [06:20] anyhow.. gtg, night launch in a few minutes [06:20] Parsec300: I'lll keep trying thanks for your help [06:20] macogw: i'm install it rite now brb [06:20] any gnomebaker users?

(i am putty to ssh) [06:29] macogw: i re install the ubunt-restricted-extra and is working now thank i appreciate the help [06:29] neo_ sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts [06:30] Agent_bob: i need to download the packages on a windows computer @ uni [06:30] neo_ or +a if you prefer [06:30] HinHin_1: you're on the right track with apt-zip , using a usb stick as the device/drive works well [06:30] tcpdumpgod, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59223/ [06:30] wow [06:30] thats surprising [06:31] nickrud: unfortunely i can't run it on a windows box @ uni :( [06:31] sfears, "dmesg |grep -i /dev/hda |more" [06:31] i don't have bandwidth @ home... [06:31] agent_bob : it should be like that no program should be able to change ,,, only i can [06:31] HinHin_1: the box doesn't have wget ? you can adapt the script easily to a batch file [06:31] neo_ ? [06:32] neo_ sudo echo boo [06:32] [ 46.675709] Adding 1951888k swap on /dev/hda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1951 [06:32] 888k [06:32] nickrud: nope... :) but i can run it off a usb stick [06:32] agent_bob : it should be like that no program should be able to change /etc/hosts,,, only i can [06:32] neo_ cause if sudo is not working then nothing you call with sudo will work either [06:33] neo_ sudo echo boo [06:33] anyone seen this problem before? HUGE GDM login and GTK window title fonts? but only when compiz is started up first http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10124327/BUG.png [06:33] sudo works it output ¨boo¨ [06:33] neo_, if no program should be able to change /etc/hosts... how can the Gnome GUI do network configuration? [06:33] DrWho_989898: why would you start compiz before gdm? It should be run on a per user basis [06:33] ok then sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts [06:33] neo_ and then lsattr /etc/hosts [06:34] Agent_bob, are you sure he wants to do that? [06:34] macogw: it is working now but the movie doesn't look too sharp..any idea? [06:34] tcpdumpgod that's what he thinks he wants. and i can't see it hurting anything. [06:34] not sure why he would want to do that, but fixing his box after he breaks it should make a nice learning experience :) [06:34] nickrud: I mean to say, only when compiz is loaded when the x session is started on first boot. if i change to metacity the fonts are fine. [06:35] Agent_bob, gnome-network-settings isn't going to be able to change it. [06:35] question: how do you add something to autoboot? [06:35] tcpdumpgod that's exactly what he requested [06:35] stringCheese, add it to /etc/rc2.d/ and all other proper runlevels. [06:35] thanks [06:35] DrWho_989898: hm. On my machine, compiz is started only after I log in, and is stopped when I exit. It's never running when the login screen is visible [06:35] i know Agent_bob but as advanced users we have to think for the n00bs sometimes. [06:36] Explain to him why programs can change it. [06:36] DrWho_989898: unless I'm totally missing your point [06:37] nickrud: It is loaded after i login... the gdm issue doesn't go away if im running in metacity as it is also loaded after login... but the problem seems to be related. [06:37] !autostart stringCheese [06:37] nickrud: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:37] silly bot [06:37] tcpdumpgod heh i'm of the mind that if we take all the warning labels off everything, the population and idiocy problems will solve themslevs === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [06:37] selves [06:37] lol Agent_bob.... natural selection. [06:37] agent_bob : prblm is that when some program changes the first line of file program starts very slow [06:37] hm, DrWho_989898 then the track I was going down is not the right one, sorry [06:37] agent_bob : prblm is that when some program changes the first line of file,, program starts very slow [06:37] neo_: just for the record, no program will change /etc/hosts unless there is a very good reason.. and if there is a very good reason and it can't be changed, it might cause important programs to fail when /etc/hosts is 'wrong' (not changed as it was supposed to be) [06:38] lots of dead children. But making warning labels invisible to adults .... [06:38] i think mozzila fire fox do it [06:39] firefox should be running as a normal user (you) and should not have access to write /etc/hosts at any time [06:39] zl3cat:i think mozzila fire fox do it [06:39] nickrud OT but i would think there to be a differance in parents teaching their children and children having to read warnings for themselves. [06:39] neo_: I think you are wrong. It should not be possible for firefox to change the contents of /etc/hosts. Ever. [06:40] Agent_bob: ot true. [06:40] so what is the reason p startlong torograms taking to [06:40] so what is the reason pr ograms taking to long to start [06:40] neo_ no will to engrish ! [06:41] neo_: perhaps in the past you have done some other action which is equally inadvisable and are now suffering the consequences of that? [06:41] when i edit the file it seems fine [06:41] neo_: well, your box.. don't say we didn't warn you.. [06:42] neo_ did you lsattr /etc/hosts ? [06:42] ----i------------- /etc/hosts is the output [06:42] ok it wont change. [06:43] hey neo_ what seems to be the problem your having? [06:43] Let me say this: I cant tell you folks, (and volunteers), of the gratitude that we, fervent Ubuntu followers, how glad and gratuitous we are for your patients and knowledge base in helping us who are in the learning curve, A (Mighty) thanks is in order, (Thanks). [06:43] what is the edit command for xorg.conf if not "edit xorg.conf" while I am in the X11 folder? [06:43] how do i takle network configrations?

[07:16] Is it possible (without breaking much) to forgo the ubuntu and debian manual kernel compilation styles and just do a -normal- kernel install, with make and make install && make modules_install? For what reasons (besides the lack of package management for it) would i not want to do this? [07:16] technokrated1: i'll have old compaq video adapter, and this has only 64 mb of memory, it isn't enough for special effects [07:16] mike_: I don't use a webcam so I can't help you there, but I would imagine that you would be able to find programs in Linux that use it. As for wine, I can certainly give you some pointers there. [07:16] <_2> vox i'd file a bug on mplayer. [07:16] or better yet, is there another interpreter for javascript i can get? [07:16] geo125: and when you said you had already installed the driver and it was using it which driver are you referring to? [07:16] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> linuxboy, however i won't change my answer for that question unless it's official confirmed [07:16] DrWho_989898_: ati it sais that is installed [07:17] _2: i dont think it's an mplayer bug, i have a feeling it's something to do with how nautilus handballs the request off to mplayer [07:17] <_2> vox ??? terminal test it.

[07:38] <_2> can i assign it to ctrl+c and ctrl+v ?

For example, I'd like to run ffmpeg2theora on one file, then run it on another when the first is finished, etc. [07:38] ere4si: what label would a usb disk get besides the /dev/sd? ones? [07:39] <_2> Lartza_ yes that's fluxbox's default. are you asking how to configure fluxbox ? [07:39] mdemocritus, mine is in mtab as sdb1... [07:39] I don't see my Desktop (/home/lartza/Desktop). Maybe yes [07:40] hey there.. who has the time and the nerves to answer me some questions about Ubuntu? :) [07:40] ere4si: every time i've hooked up a usb drive to ubuntu or gentoo, it's on /dev/sd-something [07:40] Alareus: Me [07:40] !ask > Alaerus [07:40] Alareus: If I know the answer [07:40] Hi. I'm really struggling with environment variables and ssh. When I remotely connect to an Ubuntu 7.10 server, echo ${JAVA_HOME} shows /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun, but when I use ${JAVA_HOME} in a bash script it isn't set. Any ideas? [07:40] <_2> Lartza_ it sounds like you are asking about configuring fluxbox rather than getting it running. and i can't really help with that. read the documentation on the site ? [07:40] mdemocritus, it should be from my experience [07:40] I've set JAVA_HOME in both /etc/environment and /etc/profile and rebooted [07:40] Ill try that [07:40] ere4si: is there any more involved usb diagnostic tools that you know of? [07:40] i notice in almost everyone's screenshots, theyre running sonata. Id like to get it running myself but mpd is being pretty difficult. can anybody point me to a (recent) howto or walk me through setting up mpd? [07:41] marshall: repeating won't really help [07:41] I feel really weird asking this, but does any one know of any documentation on wubi that is GFDL or creative commons? [07:41] mdemocritus, a check that hal is running as a service is what I'd do first [07:41] <_2> Alaerus can't answer what you don't ask... well we could.... but that helps nothing. [07:42] steve176: put it in .bashrc [07:42] ere4si: i'm pretty sure it is... a regular usb drive works [07:42] i gave sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts command to /etc/hosts file how can i revert back the permisions [07:42] steve176: or in /etc/bash.bashrc [07:42] <_2> ere4si pidof hald ? [07:43] I am using fujitsu-siemens amilo pro v3505 .. it uses dual processors Intel centrion duo.. but not 2 o will it automatically reduces the frequency of the second processor like Windows does? [07:43] i gave sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts command to /etc/hosts file how can i revert back the permisions [07:43] another question.. when I install Ubuntu will it automatically recognize my Intel pro wireless 3945ABG adapter and will I be able to use my wi-fi button :) [07:43] How do I configure Fluxbox? [07:43] Alaerus: yes, ipw is well supported [07:43] Alaerus: yes, and probably [07:43] <_2> neo_ -i [07:43] mdemocritus, if a regular usb stick automounts but your particular one doesn't then I'm not sure what to suggest except manul mount - sorry :) [07:43] Alaerus: yes [07:43] <_2> neo_ man chattr would have told you that [07:43] wubi, a.k.a. the windows installer.exe for ubuntu? [07:44] Alaerus: Ubuntu should automatically use frequency scaling [07:44] SuperQ: OK, rebooting now [07:44] steve176: you don't need to reboot [07:44] w3lshrarebit: i'd think the documentation for wubi would be some open source licence [07:44] How do I configure Fluxbox? [07:44] steve176: you almost never need to reboot Ubuntu [07:44] ere4si: rats.... thanks for the effort though [07:44] k [07:44] You'd think, but no :( [07:44] thanks .. if I have more question I will just ask [07:44] SuperQ: I added it and re-ran my script, but still now output. I hadn't sourced /etc/bash.bashrc though [07:45] it [07:45] SuperQ: Environment variables seem really odd on the server platform. I have no problem if I just add them to /etc/envrionment on my desktop [07:45] yes, source /etc/bash.bashrc should work [07:45] 's owned by cononical [07:45] steve176: there really isn't a difference [07:45] odd [07:45] Lartza_: google is your friend... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+configure+fluxbox&btnG=Google+Search [07:45] steve176: I'm not sure why you're having problems with server [07:46] * faileas thought wubi was a independant project [07:46] SuperQ: Also if I log on locally to the server the scripts work fine. It's only when I log on via ssh there's a problem [07:46] steve176: server and desktop are basically identical in Ubuntu [07:46] steve176: that's not normal [07:46] SuperQ: It's a clean install, re-installed several times [07:46] atleast, I don't think it's normal [07:46] SuperQ: It's driving me up the wall! [07:46] heh [07:46] mdemocritus: I just seeked Fluxboc documentation :D [07:46] are you using export? [07:47] Lartza_: also, that question is WAY too open ended... probably why you weren't getting any responses [07:47] SuperQ: didn't work [07:47] yeah! That's why I'm looking for a blog post or such [07:47] is there some documentation how to prepare my hdd for the installation? [07:47] steve176: sorry, not sure what the deal is [07:48] Hello, does anybody have a few minutes to help me with what I think is an xorg.conf issue? [07:48] steve176: ~/.bashrc always works for me [07:48] mdeomcritus: I just see the bottom panel with clock and workspace cahnging ability when using fulxbox [07:48] steve176: oh! [07:48] the .org page is copyrighted too [07:48] SuperQ: was NAME=VALUE OK or should I have put export NAME=VALUE [07:48] steve176: are you using #!/bin/sh? [07:48] steve176: in your script? === ch40s|laptop is now known as h40|laptop [07:48] SuperQ: yes [07:48] sh != bash [07:48] sh == dash [07:48] use #!/bin/bash [07:48] <_2> Alaerus are you installing beside another os ? or clean disk ? [07:49] SuperQ: sorry, I meant I'm using #!/bin/bash [07:49] arg [07:49] _2, clean but maybe I might install XP later [07:49] and I want to keep the D partition of my hdd [07:50] steve176, I set up my flux desktop with google for each issue - there's lots on the net - what's your present issue [07:50] ubuntu is lots of fun [07:50] lartza_, nothing else? that's pretty strange... as i haven't played with fluxbox, i wouldn't really know where to start, but try right clicking on the desktop or the bottom panel, or kill and restart X with the combination ctrl+alt+backspace... if that doesn't get you anywhere, i'm out of ideas [07:50] Ive just installed ubuntu 7.10, did all the updates, am using the restricted nvidia drivers, and made my second screen a 'twin view'.... But as soon as I saved the changes to xorg.conf and rebooted, my system halts on boot until I hit 'ctrl+alt+del'... It then boots into Gnome, but it didnt mount my other 2 drives as it had before... Any ideas? Im thinking taking xorg.conf back will do the trick. [07:51] <_2> Alaerus ummm i would sujest making a partition for the M$ install first. giving M$ the first primary partition or it will cry you a river. also the installer (ubiquity) will run gparted for you durring install allowing you to repartition the disk. [07:51] quicksilver_, did you try writing to xorg from nvidia settings? [07:51] mdemocritus: there is problem with the gutsy fluxbox that the rightclick menu doesnt work :D thats why i searched help. I have used fluxbox previously with DSL [07:51] ere4si: Environment variables don't work when I log in via ssh to my Ubuntu 7.10 server - same problem as this guy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586993 [07:51] I have a series of commands I need to execute using a on a schedule... I understand I will use a cron job to execute the schedule... what do I do about the commands? [07:51] coz_: Yeah, thats how I made it the twin view in the first place. [07:52] I know in windows it would be something like a Batch file [07:52] just need to run sudo update-menus in gnome, kde or xfce [07:52] coz_: I think thats how this problem started. [07:52] steve176: there's a difference on how you run the script. If you run it locally, you run it in an interactive shell. If you run it with ssh like "ssh foo@host command" It's non-interactive and won't read the same config-files [07:52] Lartza_: well then... alt-f2 do anything? [07:52] quicksilver_, I have never had luck with nvidia settings writing to xorg but then I always enable twinview manually after logging in just incase I have an application or game that doesn like twinview [07:52] Hi. Does anyone know how I can copy a package from one machine to another? I am trying to install sun-java5-jre but one of the packages wont download. I get the error message "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libj/libjgoodies-forms-java/libjgoodies-forms-java_1.0.5-5_all.deb Size mismatch". Thing is I have already installed this on my other PC so if I could just copy it, it should work. Any ideas please? [07:52] <_2> Alaerus there are as many sujestion on how to set up your hd space as their users. but most will agree that a seperate / (root) and /home (user_space) partitions are a good idea. [07:52] quicksilver_, I prefer haveing choices === sourcode is now known as sourcode[u] [07:53] can i install new scrrensavers for linux [07:53] has anyone ever done FireWire to FireWire ad-hoc networking in Ubuntu? Is is managable with network-manager? What kind of cable is required? [07:53] mdeomcritus: It doesn't! WHy are everyone saying it???(I'm on gnome now [07:53] neo_, ubuntu? [07:53] steve176: your best bet is probably to source the file that contains the export JAVA_HOME line. You do that with dot-space. I.e. ". ~/.bashrc" [07:53] on me its ctrl+alt+f2 [07:53] coz_: So any ideas on how to take it back to how I had it before? [07:54] I found good tut how to configure fluxbox, thanks to you. [07:54] quicksilver_, did you check in the xorg.conf to see if indeed nvidia wrote anything there? [07:54] steve176, Am I right in the assumption that you want the environmentals from your box to be used on the one you ssh to? === aryo is now known as uswa [07:54] I have a series of commands I need to execute using a on a schedule... I understand I will use a cron job to execute the schedule... what do I do about the commands? I know in windows it would be something like a Batch file. Any ideas? [07:54] Lartza_: i'm glad... best of luck to you [07:54] any new scrreensaver for ubuntu? if yes whre can i found it and how to install??? [07:54] ere4si no [07:54] How much does ubuntu install take? [07:54] neo_: What is wrong with in built ones? [07:55] coz_: I see that there is a .backup file, but Im not sure if I should try to rename it..... The backup file is also made by nvidia settings. [07:55] And what would be good hdd format when ubuntu windows shared? === aryo is now known as uswa [07:55] <_2> neo_ the 300 installed screensavers aren't enough ? [07:55] ToastGuy_: a simple shell script does the same thing as a batch file... [07:55] Lartza_: depends on what set of packages you pick [07:55] steve176, then simply - what do you want that most don't seem to? [07:55] It there somewhere that I can find the xorg.conf file that was default on install? [07:55] faileas: clean install [07:55] i like the dog liking screensaver can i obtain same for ubuntu????? [07:55] Hi! I need to setup a Linux router with external 195.146.149.73 but with transport layer Ip 87.197.249.46. How to do this? [07:55] mdemocritus: ah, Shell Script... I've heard that term before... thanks [07:55] quicksilver_, you could try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as a last resort but check again in xorg to see what was changes first [07:55] ere4si: I have a remote server. I want to set up some environment variables on the remote server. Usually I would do this be adding them to the remote servers /etc/environment file. This doesn't work... [07:55] Lartza_: i'd go for FAT32 or NTFS. Linux has better support for those than windows for ext3 [07:55] Lartza_: default desktop install is around 2 GB. You should find requirements in the documentation on CD [07:55] Hi, does anyone have some experience with the OEM installer? [07:55] ere4si: By doesn't work i mean... [07:56] Lartza_: i would use ext3 since there's a program for windows that supports ext3 [07:56] mdemocritus: are there a GUI for creating a cron job in ubuntu? [07:56] <_2> neo_ i personally like setting up a slide_show of all my pictures. [07:56] is there* [07:56] coz_: what does that do? Im really new to xorg.conf, and I dont think I could notice what changed. [07:56] WHich does linux and win support better together? fat32 or ntfs [07:56] i know linux supports ntfs but better than fat32? [07:56] <_2> neo_ that's native and simple to do. [07:56] fat32 [07:56] ere4si: If I physically log onto the box, the variables are set from both the shell and when I run scripts. If I log on remotely they are only set in the shell [07:56] Lartza_: the program is called ext2fsd, the first link on a google search [07:57] Lartza_: please don't install Ubuntu on fat32. You will face problems later [07:57] quicksilver_, ok go to http://pastebin.ca paste the contents of /etc/ X11/xorg.conf hit the submit button and paste the link it gives you here === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:57] ere4si: It's basically presenting me from starting my app server remotely [07:57] ere4si: presenting -> preventing [07:57] Ok :) [07:57] <_2> Lartza_ vfat but there is a file size limit there 2g [07:57] fat32 support under linux was stable long before ntfs support [07:57] steve176, I can only suggest the best place for that would be asking in #ubuntu-server [07:57] ToastGuy_: i would imagine there's several, but i don't know any off the top of my head === LinuxKid is now known as N3bunel [07:57] _2:: any help??? [07:57] ere4si: didn't know about that forum. Will do. thx [07:57] for linux itself use a linux file system [07:57] I will install windows to ntfs fat32 partition and have one fat32 or ntfs empty partiton and install linux to different hd with ext3 [07:58] steve176, lots of luck with it :) [07:58] for data storage I use fat32, so it can be accessed by different OSes [07:58] Where would i look? [07:58] the empty partiton is my concern [07:58] bbl [07:58] neo_: If you are looking for linux version of a particular screensaver then you should ask the person who created it. [07:58] coz_: http://pastebin.ca/937862 [07:58] So I will use fat32 for shared hd? [07:58] ok [07:58] quicksilver_, ok looking hold on [07:58] ToastGuy_: try searching in the synaptic package manager or add/remove for cron [07:58] Lartza_: yes, fat32 is always better as shared hd [07:58] it has no rights management though [07:58] Lartza_: personally i go EXT3 for linux, NTFS for windows, and either NTFS or FAT32 for shared. my windows systems always have a ext driver installed as well tho, in case [07:58] ok thanks [07:59] steve176: add this to the start of the script: . /etc/environment [07:59] ext2fsd had become really mature [07:59] Hi. Does anyone know how I can copy a package from one machine to another? I am trying to install sun-java5-jre but one of the packages wont download. I get the error message "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libj/libjgoodies-forms-java/libjgoodies-forms-java_1.0.5-5_all.deb Size mismatch". Thing is I have already installed this on my other PC so if I could just copy it, it should work. Any ideas please? [07:59] neo_, if you are on ubuntu open synaptic pacakge manager and search for xscreensaver there will be extra screensaver packages there [07:59] I found using google that people had problems with their intel wireless 3945ABG adapter :( [07:59] And windows should be installed before ubuntu, thats what ive heard [07:59] don't know about performance, but I'd wager it's one of the fastest [07:59] and then you need to configure grub to boot windows [07:59] because of its simplicity [07:59] <_2> !info cron [07:59] Alaerus: i'm on one now, no real problem [07:59] cron: management of regular background processing.

Version 3.0pl1-100ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 88 kB, installed size 316 kB [07:59] now the only problem is to get winxp pro install cd :D [07:59] Lartza_: install linux after windows, and there will be no problem [08:00] ToastGuy_: simple shell scripting is really easy... create a file, add the commands, one per line, and make sure the file has execute permissions [08:00] faileas: will grub auto recognize windows partition and put it to the list? [08:00] Lartza_: sure will [08:00] ToastGuy: check gcrontab if you must use GUI. But it uses old version of GTK wo will look out of place in current GNOME desktop [08:00] mdemocritus: lol.. almost too easy... any convensions I should know about? [08:00] faileas, but does it worked right away when you installed Ubuntu? [08:00] RoadHazard: no [08:00] Lartza_: yes [08:00] did it* [08:00] Nice! [08:00] ToastGuy_: add "#!/bin/bash" or "#!/bin/sh" to the top of the file (without quotes) [08:00] Now only the windows cd [08:00] dirkg3nt1y: no? [08:01] I don't want to install 98 [08:01] hi gang [08:01] ToastGuy_: you can use regular expressions and logic and all that complicated bs, but if you just want to run a few commands at once, there's nothing special to do [08:01] Alaerus: as far as I know it works out of box [08:01] Should I first upgrade ram or cpu on my computer? Ram 256 and cpu 800mhz [08:01] Alaerus: yup [08:02] Lartza_: CPU IMHO [08:02] Lartza_: that is enough for Ubuntu. I will not talk about XP. :-P [08:02] slytherin: I must use GUI because I have too many things I'm learning right now unless you can give me a line command or a website you would recommend on setting up a cron job [08:02] ToastGuy, mdemocritus: #!/bin/bash, NOT #!/bin/sh ... they are not identical [08:02] quicksilver_, well it looks like nvidia settings indeed wrote to the xorg in the last section Section "Screen" you can most likely comment that section with # and restart x to see if it goes to normal single monitor use if not you wil have to remove the # you place there in text console if it doesn boot and y ou do that with sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf do you know how to do t hat/ [08:02] IMHO? [08:02] in my humble opinion [08:02] 256 mb is sufficient [08:02] 800 MHZ is rather slow [08:02] geirha: what would I use that for? [08:02] geirha, i'm aware, but if you're just using explicit commands, there's pretty much equivalent [08:03] coz_: Yeah, I can do that. [08:03] I have and starnge comp :D 800mhz cpu 256ram and 128mb gfx :D [08:03] Thanks for the help! [08:03] ToastGuy: I haven't set up many cron jobs, so can't recommend any site. But I believe 'man crontab' is good as startup resource [08:03] Hopefully it works. [08:03] quicksilver_, you know how to do the nano in text console? [08:03] faileas: well i still have one 500mhz ibm comp [08:03] I use vi, but its accomplishes the same thing. [08:03] slytherin: .. of course... [08:03] thanks [08:03] ToastGuy: if you intend to create a shell script, that should be the first line. It tells ubuntu what interpreter to use [08:03] Lartza_: i have a dual PII 350 mhz ;p [08:04] quicksilver_, ok just go slow with it and test that commented section to see if that works [08:04] mdemocritus: Yes, but it saves you from surprises when you suddenly use some bash-specific syntax [08:04] wow [08:04] oi [08:04] ToastGuy_: here's a really nice guide for shell scripting http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html [08:04] I installed debian to he 500mhz but havent got it work yet [08:04] geirha: so use #!/bin/bash? [08:04] geirha: indeed [08:04] ubuntu livecd didnt boot :P [08:04] 512 mb ram, i also have a 1 GHZ PIII with 1.5 gigs ram, running kubuntu [08:04] Ok :) Ill be back soon to tell you if it worked. :) [08:04] Lartza_: for older systems, you want to use the alternate installer CD [08:05] faileas: Nah, i used debian netinstall [08:05] Lartza_: yes, don't use livecd for old systems. use alternate cd. [08:05] lol [08:05] with floppies :) [08:05] ToastGuy_: yes, as long as the systems you'll be running it on all have bash... nearly all linux distros have it [08:05] netinstalls tend to be slow [08:05] * faileas dosen't like em [08:05] Lartza_ : did u try alternate version of Ubuntu? [08:05] Minimal install without desktop it took 3 hours [08:05] Lartza_: and you may also want to try xfce desktop in case gnome is too slow on your machine [08:05] mdemocritus: ya... I have bash [08:05] riton: I don't have one [08:05] ToastGuy: yes, on the first line [08:05] speaking of which [08:05] slytherin: I installed fluxbox to it [08:06] but havent got x running because of my noobiness(no i know its startx) [08:06] geirha: almost like a cgi-script [08:06] Lartza_: you installed fluxbox and you call yourself noob? [08:06] will I be able to use my wi-fi switch to turn it on and off and will Ubunti recognize my flash cards.. and my Nokia in data mode? :) [08:06] slytherin:How do you mean? [08:07] Well I'm not that n00b [08:07] Alaerus: yes, probably, no idea [08:07] I have almost full apache server running :D [08:07] ToastGuy_: check out that link i gave if you want to do more complicated stuff than just run explicit commands... bash is very powerful at scripting... cgi uses perl, which is another scripting language, hence the similarities [08:07] Alaerus: 1. yes 1. depends on if your card reader is supported. Texas Instruments are usually supported. 3. Yes. [08:07] mdemocritus: there are cgi modules for python as well [08:08] ricoh card readers work as well [08:08] mdemocritus: Ya... I already worked on the command... It's just like executing a command from the terminal right? [08:08] d'oh... there i go with my assumptions... [08:08] ToastGuy_: right [08:08] okay, I am using intel 945gm video card.. is it easy to connect external monitor or a projector? [08:08] Alaerus: in a month, yes [08:08] Lartza_: what I mean is 'noobs don't know what fluxbox is'. :-) And since you have used Debian at some point of time Ubuntu should not be too difficult to you [08:09] Alaerus: the new release supports it instantly [08:09] I haven't used debian [08:09] Ubuntu two years [08:09] Alaerus: Not that easy, but in a month it will be [08:09] Alaerus: using the intel driver (instead of i810) on the current one... ummm...probably [08:09] and DSL as SUB and qemu on windows a month [08:09] Didn't get fluxbox run on debian [08:09] Lartza_: Oh, Since you were asking about dual boot Ithought it was your first time [08:09] ToastGuy_: if you're not using bash syntax, technically you don't need the bang at the top (#!/bin/bash), but get in the habit of it, as it is good practive [08:09] slytherin: First time with dualboot :D [08:09] geirha: thx. I'd really like to avoid doing things on a script by script basis. There surely has to be a way to get scripts to pick up environment variables. [08:09] practice* [08:10] I have thought about installing windows and reinstallin gubuntu to this comp [08:10] If I wanna user reiserfs as filesystem type, chall I choose any mount options then? [08:11] mdemocritus: ya... i'm so used to using bash commands... that i wouldn't know when I wasn't using one [08:11] hi, i'm trying to download latest version of x-chat but in synptic allways shows an outdated version. i want the one with "yellow" ِِicon [08:11] eifzon: if you don't know by now, then you probably shouldn't use it. :-) [08:12] hfmls: What version numbers? [08:12] slytherin: do I even need mount options :P [08:12] hfmls: I'm using apt-get xchat now [08:12] steve176: i'm not sure if there's a nicer way, but piping echo $VARIABLE to another command or something should work [08:12] i have 1.0.18 [08:12] i want the latest [08:12] eifzon: probably not but Ihave never used reiserfs [08:12] hi, i ve a bug with my ubuntu python IDLE for python 2.5 can't use open file -->crash [08:12] how much disk space is needed for all-dirs-but-home these days? [08:12] I have 2.8.4 [08:12] ok, brb gonna try apt-get [08:12] Install xchat [08:12] dont install xchat-gnome [08:13] or gnome-xchat [08:13] i have xchat [08:13] hfmls: Not every version of application is packaged in Ubuntu. If you are using old version of Ubuntu. It is better to upgrade to newer version. [08:13] how do i do a search ? [08:13] You have gutsy? [08:13] hfmls: apt-cache search foo [08:13] in command [08:13] ok [08:14] then if you find something interesting its sudo apt-get install [08:14] go sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome xchat-gnome-common [08:14] and then sudo apt-get install xchat [08:14] do not go [08:15] brb [08:15] gutsy has 2.8.4 and newest is 2.8.5 [08:15] oh [08:15] i thught xchat wasn't free [08:15] on windows [08:15] mjohn: it really depends on how bloated you're going to allow the system to get [08:15] yeah, that's the one :) [08:15] tx [08:16] Lartza_: it is Free but not free AFAIK [08:16] does anyone know how to modify the oem-config startup script so the end user won't need to choose a language anymore, but instead it defaults to one specified by the maker? [08:16] Oh it isnt free === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_cR_TTM_36B [08:16] [Hardy]TuTUXG: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head-e7f287c730b93116f89de7ea7e05efbe95fa6dd1 [08:16] does anybody opneed youtube linki paste here? i want to know pls who can i use that theme, colors, etc .. [08:16] Does anyone here know why :set ruler wouldn't be turning the ruler on in vim? [08:16] [Hardy]TuTUXG: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTSUpgradesHowto [08:16] Google doesn't seem to know [08:17] hfmls: i did... [08:17] http://youtube.com/watch?v=o01m7uLaoHg how can i use this colors, theme ? [08:17] hfmls: no sms speak please. please plain english [08:17] mdemocritus, do u know how ? [08:17] steve176: I actually wasn't aware of /etc/environment untill now. I've done a little search, and /etc/environment is not read in any part of the login process. It's read by gdm, and inherited to the xsession from there, so that file you really need to source yourself [08:17] wyattc: probably you have vim-tiny installed. you need vim-full [08:17] hfmls: are you talking about compiz or just the colors? [08:17] aww... xchat produces mainly the windows version >:I [08:17] slytherin: Is vim-tiny default on Gutsy? [08:17] that colors and dockbar, etc [08:18] hfmls: compiz is the pretty cube effects [08:18] no, i don't want the cube. [08:18] wyattc: yes, duw to space constraint on CD [08:18] hfmls: serch google for chrome look or try http://www.gnome-look.org/ [08:18] Ah! Excellent. Thank you greatly. === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_cR_TTM_36B [08:18] i hate my system [08:18] i have messd it up :( [08:18] how so [08:19] cant use themes the way they are meant to [08:19] i have icewm as wm [08:19] ah [08:19] and gnome as panel [08:19] hfmls: ah... the dock is some package... i forget which... check synaptic or add/remove, search for "mac program dock" or something [08:19] Hi. Does anyone know how I can copy a package from one machine to another? I am trying to install sun-java5-jre but one of the packages wont download. I get the error message "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libj/libjgoodies-forms-java/libjgoodies-forms-java_1.0.5-5_all.deb Size mismatch". Thing is I have already installed this on my other PC so if I could just copy it, it should work. Any ideas please? [08:19] and dont know ho wto switch back to metacity :( [08:19] Hi, how can i add a use to volume group.. Coz i am unable to hear volume on my existing user.. While on root i can! [08:19] lartza metacity --replace [08:19] Unable to open X display. [08:20] And I want it full time back to meatacity [08:20] what file contains the used gnome wm? [08:20] JonathanEllis: There is no reason why Sun JRE should install jgoodies package. I think you have some other package marked for installation. [08:21] or where i can configure the thinsg that start after login? nautilus etc. [08:21] Lartza_: system -> preferences -> sessions [08:21] geirha: That makes sense. I've been using /etc/environment for my desktop and it worked fine, but was completely ignored by server. With /etc/environment you don't use 'export'. When I tried adding the variables to /etc/profile I didn't realise I should also have been exporting them. Now everything works fine. thx [08:21] Hi, how can i add a use to volume group.. Coz i am unable to hear volume on my existing user.. While on root i can! [08:22] mdemocritus: how do you execute a shell script? [08:22] jonasbjork: apart from that, the downloaded packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory. So you can copy them from one PC to another. [08:22] a^^nnnn: Is it possible you just have some issue with your permissions somewhere? [08:22] ToastGuy_: cd to the directory and run ./script.bash or whatever, or run it with the absolute path [08:23] What file contains the gnome wm preference? [08:23] Like with your audio driver or device permissions? [08:23] mdemocritus, i've download a theme, if i tell wich files i have can u tell me pls how can i manually install it ? [08:23] a^^nnnn: volume or sound? I don't think you need to specifically add user to group for listening to songs. Check if in case the speaker is mute. Check the speaker icon in panel. [08:23] ToastGuy: if you haven't made it executable, you can run it with: bash script.bash [08:24] wyattc, slytherin i am not able to open that icon.. its giving the error. [08:24] geirha: Actually I think I got it... I ran it using..... SH myscript [08:24] a^^nnnn: what error? [08:24] what error does it give [08:24] hfmls: unfortunately i haven't messed with themes, and besides it's different for gnome... i'm running kubuntu these days, so i don't even have the same interface as you... try googling ubuntu theme install [08:24] and last i added my new user in that group, then iwas able to listen.. let me tell you ther eror [08:25] ok, tx [08:25] hfmls: avant windows navigator or awn is the dock see here https://launchpad.net/awn [08:25] I found it! [08:25] Lartza_: you metacity's configuration? you don't want to edit those files manually. Run gconf-editor and edit it from there [08:25] slytherin, No volume control GStreamer plugin found. [08:25] ~/.gnome2/session [08:25] lordleemo: he is asking about themes why are you telling him about awn? [08:26] 0,RestartCommand=icewm [08:26] is anyone of you into networking at all? (ip, zeroconf and wireless, not seccesarily ubuntu only) [08:26] err, i don't even know where can i change themes in ubuntu [08:26] lo [08:26] ToastGuy_: to make it executable, the command is chmod u+x /path/to/file.bash [08:26] slytherin, error "No volume control GStreamer plugin found" [08:26] whats what i cahnged when installed icewm [08:26] slytherin: he wants the chrome theme and awn [08:26] hfmls: ARe you afraid of clicking on menus? [08:26] lalready did. can't find it, or i am blind [08:26] slytherin: as shown on his google video link [08:26] slytherin, ech and every thing is installed. coz i am able to listen music on the other users. but not on this new user. [08:26] a^^nnnn: Strange. never heard of that error before. [08:27] hfmls, check under the "appearance" menu ;-) [08:27] forget it.... it says appearence. :S [08:27] a^^nnnn have you googled that? [08:27] Can't find the configuration in gconf-editor [08:27] slytherin, can you please tell me the group for volume? [08:27] hfmls: i think its in themes or windows or something like that... in the prefrences or system menu [08:27] hfmls: aha [08:27] wyattc, Yes. [08:27] wyattc, No success for that. [08:27] stefano: what's the problem [08:27] a^^nnnn: is it ok if I tell you GUImethod? [08:28] done, wii theme black or something. [08:28] slytherin, Yes [08:28] geirha: window manager can't be changed from gconf-editor [08:28] a^^nnnn: Indeed, I just googled, very obscure [08:28] stefano: i actually work networking tech support, as it happens :D [08:28] a^^nnnn: System -> Administration -> User And Groups. Select the user, click on properties and then user privileges [08:28] mdemocritus, i want to host a fairly large network for about a week (ad hoc). it consists of linux, windows, mac machines, connected via wireless and wired networks. and i want to use zeroconf for that, i wonder if that would be a good idea. any thoughts? [08:29] huh [08:29] slytherin, there is no user group in administrator.... Using gutsy [08:29] Lartza_: I probably misinterpreted your previous question, thought you meant the configuration of the current window manager, not which window manager to use [08:29] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OrangeLiNstaBlackPlastic?content=62434 this one is really nice [08:29] okl [08:29] stefano: how large are we talking? like 50 or 500 machines? [08:29] mdemocritus, more like 50 [08:30] a^^nnnn: Can you tell me what all menus you have in System->Administration? [08:30] stefano: hmmm... your best bet would probably get a decent wireless router with a fast cpu clock, and slap one of the small versions of dd-wrt on it [08:31] slytherin, "key ringmanager, partition tool, network tool , printing. system log, system monitor, update manager" [08:31] Lartza_: you should make a .desktop-file that runs the other window manager, and put it in /usr/share/xsessions . You will then be able to choose it as a session on the login screen [08:31] stefano: well, try it with the stock firmware first, but those tend to lock up with a bunch of clients [08:32] a^^nnnn: in terminal type gksudo users-admin [08:32] mdemocritus, would i be able to benefit from zeroconf? does windows even support it? because i want to avoid all the ip confusion and possible harm by people assigning themseves ips of servers or something like that thus bringign those servers down [08:32] stefano: but i wouldn't use zeroconfig... no real reason, but some things just don't seem to work right with it [08:32] a^^nnnn: can you try command 'users-admin'? [08:32] Anybody have problem with Python IDLE ? [08:32] a^^nnnn: in terminal type gksudo users-admin [08:33] stefano: windows supports it... set it to obtain ip automatically and let it time out [08:33] slytherin, legend2440 typed.. i am there in user conf gui mode interface file [08:33] geirha: That was not realated in my situation [08:33] hi guys. i just installed gutsy and used "safe graphics" mode on the live cd, but now i want to install the nvidia proprietaary driver, but the proprietarey driver manager says i don't need any prop. drivers [08:33] stefano: but you'd probably be better off using a router with the dhcp server enabled [08:33] The .desktop file thing [08:33] anyone knows how to fix this? [08:33] mjohn: i'll bet you have an integrated graphics card on your mobo [08:34] nope... brand new nvidia geforce 8800 [08:34] mjohn: If your card is newer than your version of Ubuntu, you'll need to manually install from the Nvidia website [08:34] mdemocritus, instead of using dhcp, wouldnt it be better to just give them a little piece of paper with an ip that they have to use and then trust them on this (i imagine dhcp is quite a heavy process) [08:34] hi all. can anyone help with a few problems I have with linux mint? [08:34] mjohn: or I believe the program "Envy" will install it for you [08:35] shuki: Fire away - don't ask to ask, just ask :-) [08:35] chrislees: ah, i knew i should have gone iwth the heron alpha instead [08:35] chrislees: please don't suggest programs outside of repositories [08:35] stefano: if you used dhcp for the clients and set the servers to statics, you should't have any issues... dhcp isn't too big of a load once the addresses are all assigned [08:35] mjohn: if the driver manager says you don't need then then it is probably correct [08:35] can anyone here recommend a good professional services company who can help me with NFS tuning, general server administration and sanity checking my systems? [08:36] mshadle: how about canonical. They provide support services. :-) [08:36] stefano: you could give the lusers their ip, but that's asking for problems [08:36] if my shell script is in my home directory where Desktop folder is... what do you call that directory... something like ~ when telling where the CRON JOB will find the script? [08:36] they won't login to the servers, they don't support that [08:36] mdemocritus, allrighty, thank you very much for your help i will just do that, i was just afraid of the thought of setting up such a big network on dhcp, [08:36] with snd_hda_intel what should gconf-editor key value /desktop/gnome/sound/default_mixer_device read? [08:36] first off all. I switched to mint be-cause Ubuntu 7.10 didn't work properlly with my wifi card. for some reason mint does... [08:36] slytherin: there are no open drivers (with 3d) for geforce 8800 as far as i know [08:36] ToastGuy: ~username/script [08:37] ToastGuy, $HOME/script? or are you saying your script is in $HOME/Desktop? [08:37] ToastGuy ~/script is sufficient [08:37] ok [08:37] thanks [08:37] You guys are awesome.... [08:37] I'm using an acount I used on ubuntu and I played a little to much with compiz definition, is there any way to reset them? [08:37] I thought maybe it was because I used "safe graphics" that the proprietary driver manager thinks my graphics card is VESA [08:38] mjohn: Open up the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what is listed under "driver". [08:38] stefano: join #private142 so we can continue... this is pretty off-topic lol [08:38] * sCOTTo is feeling sheepish.... just wiped my backup drive, then without thinking about another backup the next day I installed a fresh pratition with ubuntu - lost everything :( [08:39] mjohn: in that case you may want to do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [08:39] chrislees: yeah, its "vesa".. [08:39] shuki: switching to "Normal" or "Extra" visual effects should switch to some sane values [08:39] mjohn: Then run the command that slytherin just said :-) [08:40] what's wrong with this? why didn't it run at 1:41am? [08:40] 41 01 * * * ~/maketorrent [08:40] slytherin, yeah, im about to :) [08:40] I edited with: crontab -e [08:40] ToastGuy: Does that script have execute permission? [08:41] and the file: File: /tmp/crontab.dYiIys/crontab [08:41] geirha: That's what I thought but it didn't work. I tried running gnome-compiz-preferences but I didn't have any effect on my machine. I even deleted some of the folders at my home directories with no effect [08:41] slytherin: yes I chmod it to 777 [08:41] shuki: there is a button in ccsm to reset all your compiz settings [08:41] ToastGuy: Did you save and exit the file you were editing with 'crontab -e'? [08:42] shuki: hm, ok. The configuration is stored in ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig I beleive, so removing or moving away that dir should reset things I think [08:42] can i run directx games with the nv driver instead? [08:42] geirha: by default, it's stored in gconf [08:42] slytherin: Yes... then I opened it back up and the line that I gave you was still there [08:42] ToastGuy: does this list your cron-job? crontab -l [08:43] geirha: ya... [08:43] crdlb: ok, I stand corrected :) [08:43] flowOver: directx is for windows, not for linux. You will need 'wine' installed to emulate windows. That also means that your game may not run as expected or run at all [08:43] It was that file in my base directory... [08:43] 41 01 * * * ~/maketorrent [08:44] ToastGuy: I'm not entirely sure the ~ will be expanded, so change it to $HOME instead, just to be sure. [08:44] Slytherin: Yes I do have other packages marked for installation. They are: freemind, freemind-plugins-help, freemind-plugins-svg, freemind-plugins-svg, freemind-plugins-time and libjgoodies-forms-java. I am not sure why libj is marked [08:44] slytherin: i got that far thanks. the nvidia driver is just buggy as hell. i'm asking if i can do games without it [08:44] ToastGuy: 41 1 * * * $HOME/maketorrent [08:44] ok [08:44] I'm on LAN Cable User How Can I Use Internet on Ubuntu ? [08:44] While I'm Using Internet On WindowsXP On The Same Local Area NetWork [08:45] Just plug in your ethernet cable. [08:45] That should do it, if DHCP is enabled. [08:45] geirha: well, now I can't activate it. I got a msg "desktop effect couldn't be eneabled" [08:45] I'm selling an old computer of mine and I want to securely wipe the disk. Perhaps something a little better than just deleting the partitions. Does anyone know of a good LiveCD to perform this? [08:45] slytherin, chrislees: dpkg-reconfigure xorg suggested the "nv" driver, but that didn't work. i guess the card is too new [08:45] But The Server Is ISA Server [08:45] hmm. --excludes-fron doesn't seem to be working with rsync. /home/backup/excludes_remote includes the line /home/backup/current/home/remotebackup, but the command $ rsync -avz /home/backup/ andrew@epstone.net:~/backup/laptop1/ --exclude-from=/home/backup/excludes_remote still seems to back up these files: [08:45] current/home/remotebackup/vista1/Users/NewUser/ [08:46] mjohn: no. you have to restart x server. which means, logout and then press Ctrl + Alt + backspace [08:46] i am trying to setup a ubuntu local mirror using apt-mirror somehow everything is not being mirrored is there a way to make sure it mirrors everything to the last date [08:46] mjohn: I know Slytherin doesn't like me suggesting this, but in order to get 3D acceleration on it you'll need the Nvidia driver from the Nvidia website [08:47] rameez: Please don't make first letter of every word capital. Please use plain english and try to explain your problem again [08:47] I'm on local area network and my server is ISA server [08:47] slytherin, did that [08:47] shuki: hm, I tried it myself, and compiz still started ... odd [08:47] bluej774: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page has program called wipe [08:47] i have one system at my home and i'm using dual os (winxp and ubuntu) [08:48] on winxp i'm using internet mirc,msn,yahoo,firefox [08:48] but [08:48] legend2440: I'm assuming I'd use that with the ubuntu live cd? [08:48] chrislees, yeah. and i do need it, 3d shader programming project at uni coming up. [08:48] on ubuntu i can't access these things because i don't have internet on ubuntu [08:48] ToastGuy: if a cron command fails it will tell you about it btw, through a local mail system. If you type mail in a terminal you can read it and see what it said [08:49] bluej774: no you burn systemrescuecd from iso and then boot that [08:49] for example i was trying to install ubntu over network nad the installer is looking for acpi-modules-2.6.22-14-getneric-di_2.6.22-14.52_i386.udeb while my server only has acpi-modules-2.6.22-14-getneric-di_2.6.22-14.46_i386.udeb even after doing manual mirror a few times it seems the package files got updated but not the binary files [08:49] hey does anyone know a good partition recovery program to find a deleted NTFS partition in linux? [08:49] geirha: where do I find that... I just think I'm not pulling the correct directory [08:49] geirha: I tried it a second time and it worked. thanks. [08:49] rameez: Do you know settings like proxy, DNS, whether DHCP is enabled or now? [08:49] rameez: What sort of network is it? Your home network, or a work one? [08:49] i don't think ubuntu is using the driver it used to use in 7.10 version, maxime and minimize windows is slower. where can i check ifare update to my intel vga onboard? [08:49] legend2440: Oops. I see that now. Thanks for the tip. [08:50] if there are updates* [08:50] ToastGuy: open a terminal and run: mail [08:50] chrislees, that is work one [08:50] hfmls: which version of Ubuntu are you running currently? [08:50] bluej774: i don't know if ubuntu livecd has program wipe on it. it might [08:50] gnome-sound-properties doesn't have any device in it's drop down list. Yet I am able to play sound via other apps. Any suggestions on how to config it or reset it? [08:50] slytherin, actually i'm using linux 1st time [08:50] latest alpha 6 [08:50] geirha: l didn't do anything [08:50] lol [08:50] slytherin, i really don't know how to configure that dns dhcp and others [08:50] rameez: You should ask the network administrator if there is a proxy server you need to tell Firefox to use [08:51] geirha: lol.... I hate this insert... on my keyboard.... MAIL didn't do anything [08:51] geirha:Is there any compiz manager apart then gnome-compiz-preferences? [08:51] rameez: it is not ubuntu specific? Who set the network for you? [08:51] chrislees, i told him but he don't know how to configure the ubuntu settings for local area network [08:51] rameez: And if there isn't, you might need to tell Ubuntu the address of the gateway [08:51] ToastGuy: did it give you a message saying no mail? [08:51] 8.04 willl need 512 m to run smoothly,i dare say [08:51] hfmls: and which card? [08:51] !ccsm | shuki [08:51] shuki: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [08:51] geirha: nope.... COMMAND NOT FOUND [08:52] compizconfig-settings-manager [08:52] shuki: package compizconfig-settings-manager [08:52] What's your preference? Clonezilla or Partimage? [08:52] ToastGuy: it must be written with lowercase letters. linux is case sensitive in general [08:52] chrislees, yeah the point is this i want to know the gateway to put in ubuntu right? once i put gateway then i can use irc,msn,yahoo,firefox all the things ? [08:52] ToastGuy: MAIL != mail [08:52] geirha: same for both [08:52] slytherin, my network administrator don't know anything about linux,ubuntu [08:52] rameez: yes. so you need to ask the network admin [08:52] Thanks, apt-get is downloading it. [08:53] rameez: just ask him what are the settings for dhcp, gateway, dns [08:53] bluej774: i thought clonezilla used partimage to backup [08:53] Is there anyway to lock the top menu ? or password it ? [08:53] wait a second please [08:53] hfmls: which card? [08:53] legend2440: Does it? Let me check. [08:53] Duckstar: What do you mean by lock ? [08:53] other problem I have is Liferea, the damn thing won't remember feeds I already read, any idea? [08:53] slytherin, 1 mnt [08:54] rameez: Try going to the terminal and typing "ping 192.168.0.1" [08:54] slytherin: Make it so users can not click the menu / use it. [08:54] slytherin, i can find the gate, dhcp, dns and my ip address in windows xp i know all the things but i don't know where to put in ubuntu [08:54] slytherin: or better yet, not see it [08:54] legend2440: looks like you're right again. [08:54] slytherin, Mobile Intel 965GM [08:54] chrislees, i already checked ping with my server's ip and that was working good [08:55] darn, now my mouse is dieing again [08:55] but before i proceed i want to tell you guys that the server is not linux based that is windows based Isa server [08:55] Duckstar: I don't know why you want to do that, but there are some admin tools in gnome that should allow that. I don't remember the name exactly but it is either sabayon or pessulus [08:55] rameez: So you've put the gateway IP address into the Networking panel? [08:55] i use firewall client to run internet on my windows xp [08:55] hfmls: have you applied all the updates? [08:55] bluej774: i use partimage it is on that system rescue cd i mentioned earlier [08:55] slytherin: Thanks mate, its for a kiosk desk :) [08:55] ToastGuy: oh, thought it was installed by default. Guess I was wrong. Anyway, $HOME didn't work either? [08:55] chrislees, yes i checked [08:56] yes [08:56] legend2440: There is also this: http://clonezilla-sysresccd.hellug.gr/ [08:56] Duckstar: those tools may not be available in default install so you will have to install some package [08:56] Yeah thats cool, i will find them :) [08:56] geirha: I think it was /home/insupport [08:56] slytherin, yes [08:57] bluej774: yes i know but system rescue cd has a lot more programs for recovery on it [08:57] hello anyone who know what to do when the mouse dies , have wired usb mouse.. [08:57] Duckstar: check - apt-cache show pessulus :-) [08:57] rameez: If you have a wireless card, is this properly disabled? [08:58] i don't have any wireless card [08:58] geirha: any idea about the liferead problem? [08:58] i just use plug and play pci lan card [08:58] slytherin: I just found it in the Add/Remove Applications, under Lockdown Editor :). Thanks again [08:58] hfmls: what is version of xserver-xorg-video-intel ? [08:58] sorry, how i check it [08:58] can i [08:59] rameez: I'm not sure what to try now, except a good old-fashioned Windows-style reboot [08:59] ToastGuy: what do you mean? [08:59] anyone happen to know a right click context modification to allow VLC to open a DVD on the desktop?

[09:02] geirha and slytherin, thanks [09:02] shuki: liferea, blam [09:02] rameez: It means, the problem is unlikely to be caused by the server running Windows [09:03] ToastGuy: it should have worked with $HOME/maketorrent too, granted that you ran crontab as your user and not root (with sudo) [09:03] slytherin, where can i get the latest ? [09:03] slytherin: as I told earlier, I have a problem with liferea, perhaps you can help me [09:03] hello anyone who know what to do when the mouse dies , have wired usb mouse..

[09:17] ToastGuy: it's not in path. crontab only has /usr/bin and /bin in path. Do you know where createtorrent is located? [09:18] geirha: oh crap.... I though I could.... cd /usr/local/bin/ [09:18] geirha: that's where [09:18] Everytime I try to update I get "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. , what is this? [09:18] ToastGuy: if it is in /usr/local/bin, then call that command with /usr/local/bin/createtorrent ... [09:18] amr: any particular reason why you are using amsn? [09:18] please anyone ? i configured my pppoe but it doesn't start [09:18] joobaby: pretty much what it says. a package operation was interrupted at some point [09:19] Lifted: what do you mean by doesn't start? [09:19] joobaby: just type what it says but with sudo on the front [09:19] no just chatting :) [09:19] service is started but in X it doesn't show me the appropriate menus :/ [09:20] geirha: You're Awesome! It did it!!!!! [09:20] slytherin : it tells me that it can't find "modem" [09:20] !yay | ToastGuy [09:20] ToastGuy: Glad you made it! :-) [09:20] geirha: thanks for sticking it out with me! [09:21] thanks soooo much [09:21] ok nevermined about Amsn how can i optimize system fonts and determine default fonts for system and firefox [09:21] Lifted: I am not able to under stand. What menus are you talking about? [09:21] wow mergeant sucks more than you could imagine [09:21] geirha: Ya, got to love rookie mistakes... [09:21] ToastGuy: best way to learn ;) [09:22] geirha: I was thinking to much like windows.... I would CD into the directory and to my work there.... [09:22] slytherin : in network connections i get drop down menu for "adsl conn" ...and when i click there instead of starting pppoe and log in i get "modem is not present" ...i don't use modem...my ethernet adapter is ok ..but it doesn't work :/ [09:22] hello anyone who know what to do when the mouse dies , have wired usb mouse.. [09:23] amr: Actually I can't help with fonts much because I think arabic would come under non-latin scripts and don't have much experience with that. You may want to try asking #indlinux which is channel for l10n for Indian languages. At least someone will know. [09:23] slytherin : where can i get more info on PPPoE ?\ [09:23] Lifted: Have you tried command 'pon dsl-provider'? [09:23] is it possible to install 7.10 over latest alpha 6 [09:23] hfmls: no [09:23] chrislees: thanks for your help, i used envy, works great now [09:23] ok, well have to do it mnual. [09:23] slytherin : yes...and it says that it's started...and that's all [09:24] there os a command for pron? [09:24] oh - misread.. sry ;) [09:24] brb slytherin thanks anyway. [09:24] kes0: maybe it's an irq-conflict? [09:24] Lifted: if it says it started then you should simply start browsing [09:24] kes0: does it work on other computers/OSes [09:25] slytherin : if you can just point me to docs or website where i can read more i'll manage....the basic info on PPPoE is not enough on ubuntu site [09:26] Lifted: right there is not much info available on pppoe. for me it was just pppoeconf command and then 'pon dsl-provider' whenever i wanted to start the connection [09:26] slytherin : thanks for your help ..i'll find a way :) [09:27] I'm sorry to bother but I'm still hoping for some help. does anyone know how to handle resulotion problem? compiz problems? [09:27] shuki, what exactly is happening? [09:27] polter: hm, dont know [09:28] geirha: yes it work fine in windows, and it works in ubuntu to but dies sometimes so i have to pull the cable and put it back in so it start again [09:29] shuki: what do you mean? [09:30] I need help with my sudoers file. I need to give permission to every user to do this: sudo modprobe -r psmouse and sudo modprobe psmouse [09:30] And I don't want them to be prompted for a password === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:30] ArthurArchnix: why? [09:30] kes0: do you remember the time when it last died? if so, open /var/log/syslog in an editor, browse down to that time and see if there's any messages about your mouse or usb in general [09:30] slytherin: Because then I can assign it a shortcut key and they can enable and disable the touchpad. [09:30] ArthurArchnix: I mean why give permision to every user to load module? [09:31] slytherin: And it's just that module. [09:31] shuki: you may need to add all the users to the video group [09:31] shuki: also if you are using compiz by default, and using fast user switching, only one user can run compiz at a time I think [09:31] stefano,polter thanks, I have to users on this machine. on my user I have to problem working at 1024x768 resolution but the other is only 640X480 [09:32] does anyone here know a substitude for WordPad / TextEdit.app for ubuntu? [09:32] how do I add return chacters in my command line... [09:32] ArthurArchnix: I don't think that is possible. Instead you should look for other ways to enable/disable touchpad. something like gsynaptics [09:32] Vspike, how do i do the first? I'm sorry but I didn't understand the second part [09:32] stefano: gedit, mousepad, kate [09:32] something like this: \n ?? [09:32] shuki, do you know what kind of graphics card you have in the system? [09:32] stefano: what formats do you want to edit? [09:33] ToastGuy: echo -e "\n' [09:33] stefano: what is wrong with the text editor? Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor? [09:33] shuki: for each other user, do "sudo adduser pete vide", replacing pete with actual user name [09:33] Anyone has Ubuntu hardy on A Compaq Pressario C700 [09:33] stefano, radeon 200m [09:33] shuki: "sudo adduser pete video" sorry [09:33] slytherin: I can do it that way, in fact, I used to have it setup so that when a mouse when plugged in the touchpad was disabeld and when unplugged re-enabled. However, the synaptics driver causes too many wakeup/interrupts (150/second) draining battery life. So I'm trying to do it this way. [09:33] akshay: that didn't work [09:34] ArthurArchnix, VSpike, slytherin, i want to write some kind of file with some sort of rich text, just basic things like bold, italics, underline, font and font-size, html or tex would do, but it has to be easy and very leightweight [09:34] geirha: cant find it , gonna check next time it die [09:34] shuki: Do your users tend to all log in at the same time and switch between sessions? [09:34] ArthurArchnix: I don't think it is possible to do the way you want [09:34] dies* [09:34] shuki: and do you have effects enabled? [09:34] ToastGuy: what do you need the return characters for? [09:34] stefano: Use abiword. [09:34] shuki, i'm sorry i don't have a clue about ATI cards [09:34] kes0: it's probably a good idea to make a post about it in the forums, with the log from around that time pasted [09:34] geirha: I need to include some text into a command... [09:35] geirha: It's asking me include names of urls [09:35] stefano: abiword in that case [09:35] my does x-server support dual monitors that are not running the same resolution yet? [09:35] geriha: okey [09:35] @ToastGuy echo -ne "\n" [09:35] ArthurArchnix, i was kind of hoping to find something more leightweight, that maybe uses native cairo rendering [09:35] Vspike, some times both are logged on togather [09:35] prints a newline [09:35] I have effects enabled [09:35] stefano: thanks anyway [09:35] ToastGuy: on the command line, or does it prompt you for questions after you've typed the command and pressed enter? [09:36] geriha: had this problem before , and then someone in here helped me and it have work just fine untill i installed updates for phyton today [09:36] akshay: but it's a list of urls.... under one command.... like createtorrent -a "url1 (next line should go here) url2 ... and so on) [09:36] geirha: no ... not really [09:37] stefano: look for extensions or plugins for gedit, mousepad or kate then. [09:37] does anyone know why xrandr sometime will not change resolutions? If i restart Xorg, it works again but it's kind of annoying [09:37] ArthurArchnix, slytherin, i know that's a bit geeky, but if you look at the about dialog in abiword, the text is all messed up with improper kerning and no anti alaising. [09:38] stefano: Yeah... cuz you spend a lot of time reading the about box right? [09:38] :P [09:38] :-) [09:38] ArthurArchnix, i wanted to program it myself, but it turns out that gtk doesnt come with a rich text control [09:39] ArthurArchnix, so there may be a point to there not being a nice rich text editor that builds upon cairo [09:39] <_julian> hi all, I just did a clean kubuntu 7.10 install and on running adept-updater it stopped at libqt-mt and since then adept is not working anymore. any ideas [09:39] <_julian> ? [09:40] ToastGuy: I doubt the command can take more than one url like that ... [09:40] geirha: I'll write it off as a limitation of the application... [09:41] stefano: if you're that keen, download the source of abiword and build it yourself. The ubuntu version comes "bloated" with loads of plugins. [09:41] ArthurArchnix, and if i would program one, no one would be intrested in it because there is abiword, which is so much better (since there aren't many people that care about properly hardware accelerated anti aliasing and high quality text presentation) that's kind of a non issue i guess, but i'm sort of onto it for a month now :O === Cyclops is now known as Syklops [09:41] <_julian> now I even can't boot anymore.. [09:42] ArthurArchnix, well that brings me to an idea: i could just download the sources for abiword and rip away all it's goodness until there's nothing more than a rich text editor [09:42] that'd be nice [09:42] geirha: maybe I'll just separate them with commans... maybe that will work [09:42] i will get myself some coffee and get right on it, see all you guys later [09:42] ToastGuy: perhaps, the documentation for the command should specify it though [09:42] stefano: good luck [09:42] stefano: happy hacking [09:42] thanks :-) [09:43] I'm having an issue with hdparm, I'm wanting to set the option for my drive to be 32 bit, when I try to it says HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument [09:43] geirha: lol.... what documentation... that really doesn't exist here [09:43] I need help with my sudoers file. I need to give permission to every user to do this: sudo modprobe -r psmouse and sudo modprobe psmouse [09:43] And I don't want them to be prompted for a password [09:44] I have read online that other users with my laptop (Dell Inspiron 8200) have been able to successfully do this with other linux distro's, but in all cases the system calls it /dev/hda but in mine it calls it /dev/sda [09:44] can anyone help? === co_manies is now known as sosro_cute [09:45] ToastGuy: If it is the prog from createtorrent.com, I just looked at the source code. It can only handle one url [09:45] Vspike: thanks, it worked, the other user can now watch some resonable resolution [09:45] Syklops: that's becouse new ubuntu kernels use the new libata pata drivers for some chipsets [09:45] trying to update ubuntu 6.2 to 7.10 but there is some connection problem and i get a error message when i ask it to check for updates. [09:46] geirha: lol .... okay [09:46] Syklops: and the disks are now named sdxx [09:46] Vspike do you have any idea why I can't modify my compiz settings? [09:46] geirha: ya that's the application [09:46] How can I spoof my MAC address? I've tried sudo ifconfig eth0 hw xx:xx:xx... but I get an error saying eth0: Unknown host [09:46] morgan: yu have to go through all intermediate version when upgrading [09:46] geirha: maybe I should program the ability to add more urls.... [09:46] erUSUL: Ok, should this impact the use of hdparm and if it does, how do I switch it so I can set the drive parameters? [09:46] geirha: what is it written in? [09:47] stefano: there is an editor called ted in synaptics which looks good http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ [09:47] morgan: 6.04>6.10>7.04>7.10 [09:47] ok do you know where i get them \ === co_manies is now known as sosro_cute [09:47] Syklops: afaik libata should set up the driver at full capabilities [09:47] ToastGuy: c ... and a bit sloppy c I might add [09:47] thanks [09:48] is it possible to load a wubi image with qemu? [09:48] !upgrade | morgan [09:48] morgan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:48] erUSUL: Do you know any reason that I wouldn't be able to set any drive parameters via hdparm? [09:48] thanks guys [09:48] Syklops: the new nodes do not have the apropiate ioctls you can try sdparm but i never used it [09:49] ok [09:49] geirha: Ya, I kinda got the idea that this was written in about a day... It's an application that fit a void... I'm guessing someone is working on a better command line application as we speak [09:49] Syklops, from man hdparm you need the "-c" option - or enable it in /etc/hdparm.conf [09:50] ere4si: Thank you, I was using it though, I only wish it was that simple. [09:50] k [09:51] Why cant I add any themes to kdm? do I need a plugin? [09:52] is it possible to load a wubi image with qemu? [09:53] morning everyone [09:54] hey do you people think that ubuntu could run an old windows game from 1995? [09:54] eifzon: you need the KDM Theme Manager [09:54] with wine maybe glick [09:54] lordleemo: how to ge tit [09:54] anyone have any clue how to fix packages that are marked as broken? (apt-get install -f doesnt work) [09:55] I did not know that I am having problems running wine [09:55] eifzon: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22120 [09:55] glick: search for the game at appdb.winehq.org . it will give you an indication of how well it works with wine, and possible tweaks to get it working [09:56] think it would run on a windows xp computer with some sort of emulator or something? [09:56] I can launch guild wars but unable to get the game running [09:57] it starts and then the window pops up [09:57] im trying to get the original civnet [09:57] and then the window and program goes away [09:57] cpk1: I am trying to find your answer [09:57] Hang in there [09:58] glick: isn't that a dos game? if so, it might run in dosbox [09:58] and are there any AMIGA users out there [09:58] geirha, nah civilization was a dos game, civnet was the multiplayer windows version [09:58] cpk1: what package? [09:59] apt-get instal --reinstall [09:59] maybe?

[10:01] glick: some do. some prefer to retain them [10:01] cpk1: tried launching vlc-nox and see what error-message you get? [10:01] flowOver, like who? [10:02] i noticed the other day when ogg wasnt working and I checked to see I had the right libs that I had a broken package and then aptitude search ~b gave me 4 broken ones [10:02] glick: well, you can try to run it with wine. Seems no one has added test results for it for years, so it's hard to tell if it will work or not [10:02] vlx-nox command not found polter [10:02] glick: if you have a windows 95 cd, you can try installing windows 95 in a virtual machine [10:03] simcity is open. transport tycoon. quake. plenty more [10:03] these packages are all installed but marked as broken [10:03] geirha, heh wish i did [10:03] cpk1: Im new at this so bear with me [10:03] openttd has questionable legality I think [10:03] Cpk1: did you try using synpatic [10:03] I dont have synaptic [10:03] cpk1: under snaptic [10:03] What is a good IDE to use if you have never programmed and wanted to start programing? [10:04] glick: have you tried freeciv btw? [10:04] yeah they still own the content i believe. it's a retarded licencing issue that sawyer doesn't really care about so much to enforce [10:04] Cpk1: there is a status option which will show yapps "Not iNstalled (residual config) [10:04] Found it: There's a cron.daily/ entry for syslog.

[10:05] k [10:05] and I am pretty sure these are installed, but they are marked as broken and I want to know why [10:06] cpk1: you might try to install apt-build and build those packages for yourself [10:06] cpk1: or maybe a dpkg --configure -a helps [10:07] hmm I guess I could try apt-build, not sure if that will fix it though [10:08] .net [10:08] its just perplexing, because they seem to be installed and dont seem to be affecting anything, except I can listen to oggs which is silly [10:08] cpk1: well, it's hard to say. strange problem [10:08] thanks for your help guys [10:09] i cant* listen to oggs [10:09] cpk1: have you got any third-party repos enabled that could screw it up?

I am using spdif out with no problems here... [10:54] hey people. I am trying to install Windows Xp next to my Ubuntu install. The ubuntu isntall is on /dev/sda1 and I would like to install windows on /dev/sdb1 [10:54] so, please. is there a preemtive kernel in the gutsy repository? someone? [10:55] the problem is that windows does not want to be installed on the primary slave drive [10:55] dolf, its not good to install windows after linux [10:55] So I want to start the windows CD through grub so I can map hd0 to hd1 and hd1 to hd0 [10:55] that will messup your mbr [10:55] Dolf: windows is pretty picky that way, when you do get it to install it will overwrite the mbr and mess up your linux boot too. [10:55] that way the windows install cd thinks it is being installed on the primary disk [10:55] pajamian: I know [10:55] is this live cd installing right now as I work on the desktop? [10:56] I can reinstall Grub in the MBR [10:56] that doesn't matter [10:56] Dolf: easiest thing might be to stick it in a VirtualBox or vmware can. Unless you want it to speak to a Windows network, that is... [10:56] The thing is I have to put an entry inGRUB telling it to start from the Windows CD [10:56] Dolf: I would pull out the linux drive, make the windows drive hda and install windows, then put it back and do the grub mapping thing. I can't say for sure it will work, though. [10:56] pajamian: [10:56] that is a good ide [10:56] *idea [10:56] hardy heron rocks, it came up and understood all my new hardware. [10:56] I' ll do that [10:57] cpk1, there are three mini-jacks connected to my Audigy soundcard. [10:57] then I can map the hd' s in grub after the install was succesfull [10:57] let' s try [10:57] Dolf: yeah, that's what I would figure and since the linux drive won't be in the box when you isntall windows it can't possibly be messed up. [10:57] alguem do Brasil [10:57] that's true [10:58] Dolf: good luck [10:58] anyone know the Gimp comand for bringing the windows in front?

The wireless interface seems to take precedence over her wired interface and so she gets connected to a random wireless network rather than her home wired broadband. The wireless network appears to be broken (gets an IP address but no further connectivity), so she can't use that. We can't seem to disable the wireless network interface in ANY WAY AT ALL, from [10:59] knetworkmanager. Any ideas? [11:00] cpk1, could you tell me something more about your configuration?

[11:21] <__doc__> hi. A question, I want to package a proprietary device driver in a .deb, it requires usbfs to be mounted and it should be started as a deamon on system startup. is it philosophically correct to add both things to the install script of that package? (i.e. mount -t usb and fiddling with rc.d) [11:22] hello [11:22] morning [11:23] please, i need some help, im just a ubuntu newbie [11:27] c'è qualcuno?

[11:39] hello how i can remove package absolute without leftovers from the terminal ? [11:39] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Glock7, ubuntu has released some text for learning ubuntu linux for free [11:40] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Glock7, it's all pdf files [11:40] thats fine. where would i get them? [11:40] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kate_mins, aptitude purge [11:41] [Hardy]TuTUXG: sorry i am new to Ubuntu , can you write me the full command line ? [11:41] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kate_mins, which pkg u wanna remove? [11:41] nessus === Frogzoo_ is now known as Frogzoo [11:41] [Hardy]TuTUXG: nessus [11:42] hello. I am on 64 bit ubuntu, and youtube does not show any videos although I installed the flashplayer [11:42] what must i dot [11:42] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kate_mins, sudo aptitude purge nessus [11:42] purging can still leave some files around, can it not? [11:43] pp.mnfu.com [11:43] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> musikgoat, u mean user configuration files ? yes [11:43] [Hardy]TuTUXG: thanks [11:43] cambazz: did you restart the browser? [11:43] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> kate_mins, np [11:45] cambazz: there is no 64bit flash, that's why you're best off running 32 bit [11:45] well yes, i restarted the browser. [11:45] frogzoe: yes it must be a 64 bit problem [11:46] frogzoe: is there 32bit version of the flash [11:46] well it did install something [11:46] that works and it can display some flash [11:46] cambazz: flash runs fine on 32bit, you won't get flash to run on 64bit [11:46] !flash [11:46] 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 [11:47] !flash64 [11:47] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [11:47] cambazz: read the ubot3 link - it seems to have a solution [11:49] Hi, I'm setting up dual-screening fine on an 8800GTS, right up until the point right after rebooting my computer after perfectly setting it up. [11:49] thanx for help guys [11:49] It reverts to "low graphics mode" [11:49] And any option I select makes it die. So I launch into recovery console and do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go through the whole processs. [11:49] It was fun the first time, but this is now the 6th. [11:50] Radar: don't think you'll get dual screen working that way, you need to hand edit xorg.conf afaik [11:50] Frogzoo: I use nvidia-settings for the final touch. [11:51] Which has an option to write to the xorg.conf, and it does. [11:51] how do i make sure apt-mirror creates full mirror and not partial mirror [11:51] and howabout ubuntu and amarok? it wont play internet radio, i think the codec is missing. how do i install restricted codecs [11:51] Radar: you might do best googling for a working config [11:51] !restricted | cambazz [11:51] cambazz: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:52] Yeah, I might. [11:52] I don't think it's the config however... the first time it restarts x it's fine, I can restart X a bazillion times. [11:52] It's just when I restart the *computer* it fails. [11:53] asjfklasjdk [11:53] sean, I fully agree. [11:53] Better to use tar or rsync to backup my HD? I have an external HD (400GB) with plenty of space as well as access to a server with lots of extra space. [11:56] rsync will be faster [11:57] Can I use rsync on the HD if I am using it? [11:57] It is my laptop and it is only on and connected to my external HD or server while I am at work and using it. [11:58] Im concerned about open files === lipsinOffline is now known as lipsin [11:59] JuJuBee: surely there's some time where you can leave it on to rsync, like overnight? [11:59] I bring my laptop home every night. [11:59] It is my personal equip [11:59] ok, seriously noob question ... but 7 = rwx right ? so 4=read, 2=write 1=execute ? [12:00] hey guys, how can I autostart something ? e..g runlevel3? [12:00] for some reason i thought write = 3 [12:00] JuJuBee: rsync now to try to get everything, then give yourself 15-20 minutes at the end of work day(after you are done accessing the files) to run it again to get open files you were using [12:00] ok got it [12:01] 1 read 2 write 3 execute? [12:01] Where is the startup file located ??? (the one where you insert program to run at system's startup)??? [12:01] 4 execute sorry [12:01] 4 read 2 write 1 exec [12:01] Will rsync fail on open files? or is there a switch to tell it not to? [12:02] hi [12:02] stream media to xbox360, what can i use ? [12:03] babo: read=1 write=2 execute=4 [12:03] yeah got ti thanks [12:04] Can someone help me install these wireless drivers before I up and install Vista to have a working wireless adapter? I run tired of old devices not working on Gutsy... [12:04] NattyTux_; System>Administration>Services [12:04] that is wrong [12:04] hi [12:04] I mean this laptop is years old and linux hasn't got a solution yet? [12:05] Hi, whenever I start compiz my window decorations dissapear [12:05] xomp whats your problem? [12:05] xomp what laptop/drivers? [12:05] xomp: not all wireless devices have linux drivers.. [12:05] I do have emerald --replace running, but i get no window borders! :( [12:05] Sjimmie: do you hav ccsm? [12:05] anyway an idea to look at this? [12:05] babo: 4 = read, 2 = write, 1 = exec [12:05] heymr: what is ccsm? [12:06] compiz configuration setting manager [12:06] heymr, I have a wireless adapter that requires orinoco drivers and it doesn't appear that anyone has been able to get them to work in Gutsy [12:06] I see, let me install [12:06] sjimmie.. might be an old fix but look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the bit DefaultDepth... it should be 24 I think [12:06] heymr, http://www.nongnu.org/orinoco/news/ [12:06] that fixed the border problem for me a couple of releases back [12:06] xomp: go to the archlinux wiki and read the part about wireless drivers [12:06] thanks Jaymac I'll check [12:06] anyonuses fuppes ? [12:06] backup your xorg.conf first! [12:07] where can I report about that one file is absent in http://cl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tzdata/ ?? [12:07] ramrebol_: bugs.ubuntu.com [12:07] xomp: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#Drivers [12:08] Jaymac: alright, there is one line in there with DefaultDepth and that says 24 [12:08] ramrebol_; launchpad.net [12:08] Sjimmie: ok that isn;t your problem then [12:08] more specifically xomp: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#orinoco [12:08] I got a bit of a problem, checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [12:08] , i have GCC installed isn't that a C compiler ? [12:08] heymr: I have ccsm now, any idea where I can set the window manager? [12:08] workserver1: install the build-essential metapackage [12:08] Sjimmie: check windows decorations [12:08] and then... [12:08] heymr, thanks, I'll give that a try first. [12:08] apt-get install build-essential ? [12:09] anyone with xbox360 ? [12:09] workserver1: yes [12:09] workserver1: yes :) [12:09] ty [12:09] guys [12:09] =) [12:09] I enabled window decorations and that worked heymr ! [12:09] off to get the vehicle worked on. :\ [12:09] thanks dude! [12:09] HI I have this error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [12:09] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [12:09] xomp: archlinux is cutting edge and will have your driver i bet [12:10] Sjimmie: no prob! glad that worked [12:10] when i try to install a program [12:10] check here if you have any more questions: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-Feisty---tutorial-for-advanced-andor-KDE-as-well-as-Xfce-users [12:10] somebody may help me [12:10] please [12:10] heogen: whats up? [12:10] heymr, I can't believe that Gutsy doesn't have it to begin with. I mean this laptop is 5 years old at least. [12:10] heogen: did you try running the suggested command? [12:11] xomp: i don't think age is an issue... its repositories. [12:11] heogen: so run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' like it says... [12:11] heymr i have a a problem man [12:11] did you try downloading from the site? (the link you gave me?) [12:11] heogen: thats what i was refering to.. ;) [12:11] I dont know how can run it [12:11] heogen: open a terminal [12:11] heogen: open a terminal and paste that command in [12:11] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> xomp, if the hardware venders dont offer their spec, there are really much linux could do [12:11] heogen: applications / accessories / terminal, then type it in. [12:12] heymr, this looks like I need some windows files to tie in with the linux ones :( I'm not sure how to understand this wiki article :/ [12:12] ok [12:12] i will do right now [12:12] xomp: ndiswrapper?] [12:12] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> xomp, if the hardware venders dont offer their spec, there are really *not so* much linux could do [12:12] hold on [12:12] heymr, so I need ndiswrapper then? [12:12] [Hardy]TuTUXG: thats why that made ndiswrapper and opensourse or reverse engeneered drivers ;) [12:13] xomp: if thats what the wiki says i suppose so [12:13] i have all intel. lucky me [12:13] i now get this error : E: Couldn't find package libpcap [12:13] .... bit i have libpcap0.8 installed =/ [12:13] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> heymr, that's right, but with open spec hw it would be much easier [12:13] but* [12:13] wait, it says orinco is in the kernel [12:13] workserver1: what gives you that error? [12:13] [Hardy]TuTUXG: you got that right1 :] [12:13] honeyd [12:13] heymr, ok, I guess I got lost because it's mentioning archlinux specific things first, but if you get down to brass tacks it does look like it's what I need. [12:14] Hey guys [12:14] workserver1: what exactly do you type to get the error? [12:14] !who | workserver1 [12:14] workserver1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:14] look when a write the command [12:14] jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip [12:14] (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation). [12:14] Please visit [12:14] http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ [12:14] now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied [12:14] heogen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:14] xomp: run this in the terminal: uname 'r [12:14] er wait [12:14] jrib: ./configure [12:14] uname `r [12:14] workserver1: honeyd looks like its in the repositories to me. [12:14] !info honeyd | workserver1 [12:14] xomp: check if u have the latest kernel [12:14] ok [12:14] workserver1: honeyd: Small daemon that creates virtual hosts simulating their services and behaviour.

[12:15] Pici: S**t ... i didn't think of that -.- [12:15] xomp try it with the ` [12:15] uname `r [12:15] i think? [12:15] heymr: you want: uname -r [12:15] uname -r [12:15] xomp: ` [12:15] ok, thanls [12:16] sorry! my bad === mouser_ is now known as mouser [12:16] 2.6.22-14-generic [12:16] xomp: ctrl-c to get back to the normal prompt [12:16] xomp: ok, the recent one is .. .24 i think [12:16] kernel.org... [12:17] heymr: There should be no reason to install a custom built kernel for a new user. [12:17] 2.6.24.3 <-- latest, you have [12:17] heymr, I just installed a grip of updates yesterday. I'm not privy to linux kernels and all. I couldn't build my own if my life depended on it lol [12:17] Can anybody tell me here if nagios can significantly create congestion to LAN? [12:18] heymr: 2.6.24 is only supported in Hardy currently, and that is not yet publically released. [12:18] Pici: well... it would cut down on furture software difficulties... [12:18] kris_ph: is it not too bad, but it does generate quite a bit of traffic [12:18] will "ps" bring up background processes too ? [12:18] workserver1: yes [12:18] odd [12:18] Pici: publically, as in the ubuntu community? [12:18] jrib: it says honeyd is running as a background process ... yet i don't see it [12:18] Pici: caseu its the latest at kernel.org... [12:18] heymr: As in its still in alpha and not yet 'released' [12:19] Pici: oh ok [12:19] wei [12:19] rd [12:19] heymr: I'm speaking about the Ubuntu version, not the kernel. [12:19] workserver1: how are you looking? [12:19] just typing ps [12:19] Pici: ok... [12:19] workserver1: try: ps -ef | grep honey [12:19] v3ctor: ah.. really? Okay.. if that would be the case...I will not be installing it anymore.. [12:19] well, the latest stable version is as said at kernel.org... [12:19] jrib: ty [12:20] wouldn't you know that ndiswrapper wants my gutsy cd? I have no clue where that is lolol [12:20] workserver1: easiest way to see background process is with `jobs` command [12:20] xomp: disable the cd repository in your Software Sources [12:20] xomp: you can disable the cd repository, then it will get it off the net. [12:20] jrib, ahh okey. [12:21] I've installed Ubuntu! and the wi-fi is working :).. always working.. I don't know how to switch it off but if I do will I be able ti switch it on again.. so.. how to instal Gaim.. or Pidgen on Ubuntu? [12:22] Alaerus: the same way you install everything else: apt-get install thing [12:22] Alaerus: pidgin is already installed. Check you Internet menu [12:22] ok, ndiswrapper is installed.. lol [12:22] hi all [12:22] oh! [12:22] hi does anyone know of a system administrator based Ubuntu distro almost like Ubuntu Ultimate [12:22] yes [12:22] thanj you :) [12:22] Alaerus: Accesories > Add/Remove .. lol [12:22] Is there a way to determine what causes reboot/shutdown to ubuntu server? [12:23] vinnir: what exactly do you mean by a "system administrator based ubuntu distro" [12:23] Have someone an X-fi xtreme audio soundcard installed on his ubuntu? [12:23] one that would have administrative utlities and toolkits [12:23] (whats a good channel for video editing?) [12:23] vinnir: ubuntu [12:23] Balrok^^, dude check ubuntuforums. I think that some people got it working. [12:24] hahaha ubuntu yes but there would be a lot of padding [12:24] Can anyone help me with my external disk? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59230/ [12:24] ok, after installing ndiswrapper I don't see any change. Am I to do something? lol [12:24] !wifi > xomp (read the private message from ubotu) [12:24] xomp: ndiswrapper wraps around a windows driver [12:25] you need a windows driver [12:25] I think the bot is broken. I got 2 messages lol [12:25] which program could i use to open pdf files ? [12:25] hi! why there's no prompt for root password during install? [12:25] xomp: which bots sent you messages? [12:25] !root | lng [12:25] lng: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:25] jrib, ubot3 and ubotu [12:25] xomp: thanks, I'll look into it [12:26] Vegardjj: what kernel you have? [12:26] which program could i use to open pdf files ? [12:26] LollinopiL: evince [12:26] LollinopiL: xpdf, kpdf, acroread...

[12:28] jrib, the part of that wiki that says "Some Wi-Fi Cards work out of the box, specifically the ones with the Orinoko, Prism2 or Atheros chipsets (some Prism cards may not work out of the box)." is all LIES!!! haha :) [12:28] !aptitude [12:28] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies).

I am vexed!!! [12:31] lng: some other 'apt' process is running [12:31] scorpion032: you cannot squeeze down the space within ubuntu, ext3 will be mounted [12:32] xomp: loads ok here [12:32] heymr: ok can i also not squeeze it from within vista [12:32] my problem was with Java, now that ok. [12:32] xomp: what version of ubuntu? [12:32] that clearly indicates to me that I must stay with windows :( I don't have the cognitive capacity to keep up with linux lol [12:32] hi [12:32] jrib, it's Gutsy Gibbon [12:32] v3ctor: tnx [12:32] does this error configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [12:32] means i have t installg++ ?

[12:33] hfmls: what are you compiling?

[12:33] !compile > hfmls (read the private message from ubotu) [12:33] jrib, reloaded and now it's working :/ [12:33] hfmls: you need to install the build-essential package [12:33] I hate the interwebs at times [12:33] coolfir1: whats up? [12:34] xomp works here ;] [12:34] hello how do I install sun-jdk-docs with apt get [12:34] heymr: Yes indeed, i see that as unallocated partition in vista... so if i change may be i'll lose ubuntu entirely [12:34] can you could search synaptic or read the manuel for package search with apt-get [12:34] ok, installed g++ and it worked. anyone using fuppes? to stream media ? [12:34] scorpion032: vista can't read everything [12:35] how do i boot into vista from within ubuntu? [12:35] jrib, I believe I have an Intel wireless adapter and not a broadcom. [12:35] Tick the box under Enabled to enable the firmware in System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager xomp [12:35] can, either sudo apt-get install sun-jdk-docs or look for it in synaptic [12:35] which VMwares do i need to use [12:35] xomp: so look for it in the original wifi page [12:35] scorpion032: vmware-server [12:36] bazhang, in restricked driver manager it tells me I don't need any restricted drivers :s [12:36] xomp: what does lspci tell you [12:36] xomp dont paste here just tell the card name [12:36] bazhang: i guess there are many which one is good and stable [12:36] 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VM (KM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) [12:36] xomp: that's the wired controller [12:36] scorpion032: the one I just told you [12:37] ConstyXIV: problem is that I dont know the package name, not that i dont know how to use synaptic. [12:37] both aptget and synaptic can not find sun-jdk-docs [12:37] pajamian, I don't see any other network controllers listed in lspci :( [12:37] xomp: paste the entire output of lspci in the pastebin [12:38] xomp - also see if sudo lshw gives any more info [12:38] I wish pastebinit came by default ;[ [12:38] pajamian, http://pastebin.com/m39df7791 [12:39] pajamian, I threw in a iwconfig in there too for good measure :P (it was an accident) [12:39] xomp: reboot and go into the CMOS setup, check that the wireless adapter is properly enabled. [12:39] Is it possible to tell gdm to not ask for password for a certain user(guest)? [12:39] danand, that lshw is a lot like dmesg that I used yesterday heh [12:39] is there kind of use flags in Ubuntu? [12:39] pajamian, ok, I'll do that now. Thanks :) [12:40] I swear if it's something that simple I will cry [12:40] brb [12:40] hi, i have xubuntu feitsy gibon 7.04, how can i upgrade it to xubuntu gutsy gibons? [12:40] I need help editing sudoers ... I want all users to be able to run the command "modprobe -r psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse". I'd like to bind these to keyboard shortcuts for them. And I don't want them to be asked for a password. I can't get it to work. [12:41] ArthurArchnix: still working on that? [12:41] ghetto[kernel]: open the upgrade manager and click on the button that is in there for upgrading. [12:42] i have installed acrobat from the repository of MEDIBUNTU, how can i run it now? in application - office there's not the icon ! [12:43] pajamian, thx im on it now, i did that a few mins ago but didnt showed me anything, maybe cause i changed ftp repository :) [12:43] LollinopiL: acroread from the terminal. I will tell you now that I used to use it and it's buggy, has used up all my RAM with some memory leak while browsing a logn PDF file. [12:43] v3ctor: Yeah. Thought I had it solved yesterday night, but then I turned the machine off, and when i woke up it didn't work. So I was probably tired, entered sudo a few times, then didn't enter it once and figured I'd solved it. [12:43] and u removed it paja ? [12:44] ArthurArchnix: I'm just guessing here.. but can't you create a script that contains the command and use the setuid-bit with root as owner.. there are probably some very big security concerns with this.. it's an idea though [12:44] LollinopiL: nah, I stopped using it, and eventually changed from Fedora Core to ubuntu and didn't bother installing it again. [12:45] groupadd modprb ; then add: %modprb ALL = [12:45] groupadd modprb ; then add: %modprb ALL = 08:36 < pajamian> xomp: that's the wired controller [12:45] okz thx [12:45] wtf [12:45] hate laptop touchpads [12:45] I've given up with the script... it should be possible to give the command "modprobe -r" an alias like UNLOAD in sudoers then allow ALL ALL: NOPASSWD: UNLOAD but that's not working. [12:45] v3ctor: hehehe [12:45] Slart: Sorry, typed that before I saw your comment. [12:46] paja is there a way to create a desktop icon ? ? ? [12:46] hehe...sudo rmmod psmouse too car of that [12:46] LollinopiL: right click on desktop and select create launcher. [12:46] Slart: I did create a script, owned by root:root, executable by everyone, with the command modprobe -r psmouse .. but it still demanded a password [12:47] ArthurArchnix: with the setuid bit set? [12:47] ArthurArchnix: did you chown the script 4755? [12:47] ArthurArchnix: just found some interesting info on how easy it is to exploit these kinds of scripts.. some nice reading here.. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part4/section-7.html [12:47] Slart: pajamian no, the cript was chowned 755 and put into a directory that /etc/sudoers was supposed to allow everyone to execute commands without entering a password. [12:47] ...at least I think suid is 4 [12:48] pajamian: it is [12:48] paja YEAH [12:48] ArthurArchnix: chown it to 4755 and try [12:48] v3ctor: coll, that was from memory, hehehe [12:48] did they change something, suid doesn't work with scripts [12:48] pajamian: suid won't work on scripts [12:48] ArthurArchnix: right click on the script in nautilus, look at the permissions tab and set the "setuid" thingy.. that way the script will be run as if the owner had run it.. ie root [12:48] bah [12:48] nm, then [12:48] oh.. it doesn't?.. figures.. [12:49] Balrok^^: My kernel is 2.6.20-16-386 [12:49] heh, you could write a program in C and compile it, LoL [12:49] Slart: If i read that link correctly, it suggests that this setuid thing is opening up a security hole. And I'd be better off trying to get sudo to execute this for me. [12:50] But I'll give it a try anyway. At this point I just want to see something work. [12:50] can somebody tell me if exist linux driver for XDpicture build in laptop Ricoh card reader [12:50] ArthurArchnix: suid can have security risks if you don't know what you're doing with it. But sometimes you just need to use it to solve problems like these. [12:51] ArthurArchnix: indeed... that's why I warned you.. but if it's a computer standing in your cellar without a network connection.. with only your only son using it.. and you standing next to him with a bat.. it might be worth the risk =) [12:51] ArthurArchnix: but as others have pointed out it won't work anyways. [12:51] a [12:52] Im trying to install a plug-in on eclipse but there is a proxy then I can update. Where can I find proxy configuration like mozilla does? [12:52] a'm interested too how to get to work finger print reader on lenovo R61i, lspci don't show any such device in the output [12:53] can I log in as another users in a window whithout logging out? [12:53] jerzy, try thinkwiki.org [12:53] is it poseble to download and play css in ubuntu? [12:53] yes zod_ [12:53] aoupi: yes, pass some switches to gdmflexiserver [12:53] *s [12:53] zod_: see the entry in winehq's appdb [12:53] css and cs [12:53] jrib: ok, thanks [12:53] good thx ppls [12:54] tutuxg you mean first or second question [12:54] Hi Im trying to update wine and the public key is the available give me this error NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [12:54] [12:54] ArthurArchnix: add a group like modprb, then add the line "%modprb ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/modprobe" to /etc/sudoers, then add the users to modprb group [12:54] is not available [12:54] aoupi: gdmflexiserver -nl is what I do [12:54] pajamian, I didn't see an option to enable the wireless in my BIOS [12:54] someone can help me please [12:55] pajamian, I have an compaq evo n610c and the wireless card is screwed into the top cover of the laptop. [12:55] someone read my mind please [12:55] !enter | heogen [12:55] heogen: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:55] rsk: eww..you sicko [12:55] right on [12:57] somebody knows what can i do [12:57] heogen: you're trying to use the winehq repositories? [12:58] no [12:58] v3ctor: current the line reads %powerdev ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/modprobe -r psmouse but only because I was experimenting. Previously it pointed to /usr/bin/script/tpad_unload.sh and all that script did was do: sudo modprobe -r psmouse [12:58] I try to update wine [12:58] thanks to everyone who has helped me, I have no other choice but to go back to windows because it's imperative to get my wireless working and I don't see that happening in the future with this laptop. [12:58] heogen: really? pastebin what 'apt-cache policy wine' returns please [12:58] and say me the public key is the available [12:58] keep up the good work on linux though. I was impressed :) [12:58] Slart: I've only got a ping pong paddle, so that means no suid. [12:58] ArthurArchnix: you don't want the -r in sudoers file [12:58] ok [12:58] !who | heogen [12:58] heogen: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:58] thank you jrib [12:58] xomp seems you have no wireless in that computer [12:59] xomp: well, the fact that it didn't show in lspci seems to indicate that the wireless adapter is not there or is not functioning. [12:59] ArthurArchnix: =).. I'm googling for more info on this.. some sites suggest writing a small c program.. but there has to be an easier way [12:59] v3ctor: I thought I had to specify the full command with options, otherwise my users could modprobe -r everything, which would be... less than ideal. [12:59] ubot3 ok. Im sorry man [12:59] heogen: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:59] how to control compile options? [13:00] v3ctor: the man page says something about doing that, or else adding "" to the end to prevent users from specifying any command options. [13:00] lng: pass switches to gcc. Can you be more specific as to what you want to do? [13:01] ArthurArchnix: my fault, i didn;t see the psmouse on the next line [13:01] jrib: just in general... in Gentoo i might set USE flags telling portage what to get [13:02] hi [13:02] ArthurArchnix: that entry did not work? [13:02] lng: deb packages are binaries, you don't compile them when you install stuff with apt [13:02] The one I pasted? [13:02] yes [13:02] Besides /dev /mnt /proc /media, what other dirs should I exclude from a backup? [13:02] JuJuBee, /tmp ? [13:03] v3ctor: 'fraid not [13:03] Oh yea, thanks for reminding me. [13:03] jrib: i need to control it [13:03] lng: what is "it"? [13:03] JuJuBee, /var/cache/apt perhaps also [13:03] lng: it's already compiled, there's nothign to control [13:04] ArthurArchnix: it may be a syntax issue, try adding spaces between 'ALL = NOPASSWD' [13:04] JuJuBee: /lost+found/ perhaps [13:04] jrib: probably i need to get it from sources? [13:04] /var/tmp ? [13:04] lng: what's "it"? [13:04] hi I am using gutsy under gnome and whenever i plugin my usb disk it does not show up on the desktop or under /disk/media, any idea why is this happening? [13:04] I need help. when i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i dont get to choose the video driver. It worked in gutsy but not now [13:05] Dr_willis : how about all of /var/cache ? [13:05] judgen: It worked in Gutsy... what are you running now? [13:05] lng: you are probably looking for something like apt-build, but I don't really see the point [13:05] judgen: what version are you running now? [13:05] JuJuBee, Possibially [13:05] Pici, hardy [13:05] pajamian, hardy [13:05] judgen: #ubuntu+1 please [13:05] !hardy | judgen [13:05] judgen: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [13:05] anyone using ldap in gutsy? [13:05] v3ctor: ok [13:06] lol i thought hardy was released [13:06] I'm just switching back and ofrther between users here [13:06] i have a chroot environment in ubuntu i want to display x applications, how do i do that? when i do export DISPLAY=locahost:1 and xcalc it just doesn't display. outside of chroot i have done Xhost -ac :1 [13:06] judgen: next month [13:06] ok [13:06] judgen: Nope. [13:06] it seems gutsy kernel has problems with my NIC so im forced to use hardy, as it seems to work there [13:07] ArthurArchnix: have you tried creating a script with the exact command you want and running it under sudo? then if it works you can add sudo permissions just for that script to the sudoers file? [13:07] hi, i have 150MB of free space on my / partition and I need more, is there anything I can do? [13:07] How can I make a USB bootable stick with a LiveCD environment? [13:07] is there a WoW channel? [13:07] romulobr, check /var/cache/apt and remove old packages there. [13:07] judgen: that's fine but you need to get support in #ubuntu+1 for it. [13:08] Wow, big channel. [13:08] So, anyone know how to use debtorrent? [13:08] how can I know wich is old and new packages? [13:08] hello [13:09] i have recently install [13:09] pajamian: the first thing I tried. If the command contains sudo you can call it from the terminal and not get asked for sudo password. If you call it from gnome, however, you get prompted for password. I think the script has to hook into xinit in some way to check permissions in order to work with sudo and sudoers... I'm afraid that is beyond me. So I thought I'd try this command alias route. [13:09] XAMPP [13:09] but the i type [13:09] localhost [13:09] in browser [13:09] romulobr, that dir keeps a copy of all the packages you have downloaded/isntalled - it can get quite big with old unneeded .deb files [13:09] it shows me [13:09] Index of / [13:09] [ICO] Name Last modified Size Description [13:09] [DIR] apache2-default/ 20-Nov-2004 22:16 - [13:09] [DIR] ppc.setup/ 06-Mar-2008 21:30 - [13:09] Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 Server at localhost Port 80 [13:09] suxxor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:09] of apache documents [13:10] ArthurArchnix: what if you do something like: sh -c 'sudo myscript' from gnome? [13:10] my question is how to turn of apache [13:10] suxxor: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [13:11] thanks a lot, now I have 360 MB of free space, still not enough... any way? [13:11] Hi how can open this program pidgin-2.3.0.tar.bz2 [13:11] romulobr, remove junk :) [13:11] heogen: why did you get a tarball for pidgin? [13:11] when I download a program from Internet i can run it [13:12] did that... [13:12] heogen: pidgen comes with ubuntu installed by default, you don't need to download it from the internet. [13:12] pajamian from internet [13:12] heogen, you downloaded the SOURCE for a program. with that file. [13:12] help [13:12] heogen: did you not find pidgin when you went to your menu: Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin ? [13:12] ops [13:12] <]Spectre[> hello [13:12] pajamian: what does sh -c do? [13:12] no [13:12] jrib no [13:12] ArthurArchnix: launches a shell (bash) and runs the corresponding command in it. [13:13] I miscalculated the space I would use... actually, ubuntu was my second system and now it is my first. [13:13] heogen: what ubuntu are you running? [13:13] jrib 6.10 [13:13] pajamian: I did something similar, i did xterm -e *.sh then xterm would pop up and prompt for a password [13:13] heogen: is this a fresh install? [13:13] heogen: that's an old version, it's called gaim in that version. [13:13] Anyone installing Hardy?

[13:14] Ah, handy to know. [13:14] pajamiam yeah is an old version gaim [13:14] i'm having some playback issues.. it is flickering in Ubuntu 7.10.. is there anyone that can help?

I'm sorry, it was all beyond me. Ok, well, I'm going to give it a try. :) [13:15] heogen: you can compile pidgin in 6.10 but I wouldn't recommend it. Either use gaim or upgrade to 7.10 (gutsy gibbon) which comes with pidgin. [13:15] hello! [13:15] heogen: gaim definatly does yahoo [13:15] agreed [13:15] it does indeed. [13:15] pajamian I did update to 7.10 [13:16] heogen they changed name from gaim to pidgin because of legal issues, essentially its the same program just new name [13:16] and i cant to use pidgin [13:16] nod [13:16] heogen: then if you're running 7.10 you can install pidgin with: apt-get install pidgin [13:16] ...from the terminal [13:16] errrr [13:16] Hi Jack_Sparrow I misinformed you last night when I claimed I go the script working without entering sudo. Please disregard everything I said if you took it to heart. [13:16] heogen: what is the output of the command 'lsb_release -c'? [13:16] prefix with sudo [13:16] sudo apt-get install pidgin [13:16] isn't pidgin installed by default? [13:16] right [13:17] xphisher: it is, but I'm not sure it would be installed after an upgrade. [13:17] pajamian give me error [13:17] whan a trying to do it [13:17] heogen: what error?

Framebuffer seems to work with the live-cd, so I'm not sure what might be wrong. Any ideas?

I need to make a lot of drives and we do not need the persistence [13:19] heogen: get 7.10. it has pidgin by default, [13:20] anyone: what's the command that tells you what version of ubuntu you're running again?

[13:24] brobostigon im now update to ubuntu 6.10 to 7.10 [13:24] But progress is being made! [13:24] ArthurArchnix: any luck? [13:24] puppetmaster: Thats not an appropriate question for this channel, try ##networking or perhaps even #ubuntu-offtopic [13:24] Gatestone: wikipedia [13:24] puppetmaster: you are supposed to do your homework on your own [13:24] that's not a homework [13:24] heogen: ok. [13:24] ArthurArchnix: i just tested the steps i gave you, and it worked here [13:25] it's a question === Willem is now known as teq [13:25] that i want to know [13:25] pajamian Codename: feisty [13:25] my standard user can now in a terminal "sudo modprobe -r psmouse" and "sudo modprobe psmouse" He cannot modprobe any other modules... very good. [13:25] keren [13:25] pajamian this is the information when a wrote the command [13:25] Codename: feisty [13:25] heogen, Are you doing a fresh install? or are you going directly from 610 to 710 [13:25] also, I can create a launcher on the desktop that calls gksudo modprobe psmouse and that works as well. [13:26] heogen: you need to upgrade one more time, you're on 7.04 which is still on gaim. Again, either use gaim, or upgrade to gutsy. [13:26] all that remains, is gksudo modprobe -r psmouse does not work. I think it isn't getting the -r through. I wonder if I should change the command in /etc/sudoers to rmmod [13:26] jack_sparrow i went to the update inside the system [13:26] heogen, great.. [13:26] !upgrade | heogen [13:26] heogen: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:26] v3ctor: I think you were right about there being a syntax error. Because I've made no other changes. [13:27] ok [13:27] ArthurArchnix: don't know, but it does look like you're making progress.

Thanks much. I'm gonna change modprobe -r in my /etc/sudoers to rmmod and I think I'll have this problem licked. [13:28] heogen: if you were on 6.10 before then it makes sense, the upgrade button upgrades by one version which would have brought you to 7.04 (fiesty) you need to do the upgrade again to get to gutsy. [13:28] ubot3 lolololol dont worry you are intelligent [13:28] heogen: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:28] ArthurArchnix: sounds good [13:28] ArthurArchnix: cool [13:29] pajamian ok thank you [13:29] i will do [13:29] heogen: also get ready, there will be another upgrade in about a month's time when hardy is released.

[13:47] Jack coffee and chocclate in one Cup [13:47] ?? [13:47] bloupotlood; try the alternate cd instead.. it is meant for older/low end systems [13:47] bloupotlood, at the start or install menu press F6 then remove splash and quiet to be able to see the progress or not [13:47] ah ok thanks [13:47] ill try that now, F6 [13:48] bloupotlood, one more thing [13:48] bloupotlood, if that fails, try noapic acpi=off right before the -- on the command line [13:49] Where should I get archive.ubuntu.com signing keys?

[13:52] jack_Sparrow, I guess the point is that you don't really know, if you don't verify... you may be DNS/ARP spoofed on your LAN, e.g. [13:52] in the accesslog everywhere i can read Get-Jobs successfull-ok geirha [13:52] Jack_Sparrow, :) thanks [13:52] derdui_: hm, how nice that it didn't specify the name of the device file it can't find [13:52] Jack_Sparrow: thank you [13:52] Gatestone, Understood... [13:52] does anybody over here knows how to get to the kernel source directory [13:52] sybariten, oui [13:52] sorry, i didnt understand you geirha [13:53] derdui_: the paste you did, it says it can't find the usb device, which seems to be the problem, but it doesn't specify what the device is called :/ [13:54] arvind_khadri, /usr/src ? [13:54] bloupotlood, just for info, I installed ubuntu on an old laptop with a pre 2000 bios, it brought up the error message about the bios being old, but the alternate install cd did work and install, although I've installed xfce to replace gnome because the laptop only had 128Mb of memory [13:54] xobius, am using a emulator pack on amd64 [13:54] arvind_khadri, You did install the source correct? [13:55] ok, where i cant find it out? geirha [13:55] derdui_: edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and set LogLevel to debug, restart cups with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart, then see if it prints some more useful messages in the error_log [13:55] Jack_Sparrow, no i didnt [13:55] arvind_khadri, Then that may make it harder to find.. :) [13:56] arvind_khadri, Open synaptic and get the source you want [13:56] Jack_Sparrow, :) thanks a lot [13:56] hi i want to use windows xp only to use hdmi, so i can see my movies, what do i have to do to install xp in ubuntu?

As far as I know I have no packages from there installed, and now I removed the repo. [14:13] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

The NTFS partion was created using "fast" formatting (i.e. only the partition table was erased) [14:26] Gatestone: then report it to launchpad maybe when people there tell you to install yelp you will do it. I will not say it a fourth time [14:26] smokeyd, you can rebuild a partition table.. brb [14:27] smokeyd: i think youre stuffed [14:27] Jack_Sparrow: is that possible? How?

[14:38] will Gutsy upgrade its self like the other apps when something higher than 7.10 is released? [14:39] RainbowOnyx, only when you select upgrade to newer release [14:39] Do you understand DHCP/Ubuntu/Firefox? Proxy settings via DHCP server? Have some questions... [14:39] ArthurArchnix: yes, i have an hoary running on a serveur, and i don't want to upgrade it because of the software changes [14:39] Sinbox: did you get that ? [14:39] ok thats easy enough was worried i would have to reinstall it all [14:40] jeansch, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hoary/+source/less/382-2 [14:40] can someone tell me where apt stores the files its downloaded? [14:40] faileas: /var/cache/apt/archives [14:40] faileas, /var/cache/apt/archives [14:41] thanks [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: i cannot build it, i need libncurses-dev,...

[14:44] erUSUL: thats exactly what i'm trying to do [14:44] or... [14:44] Hi, have a Problem, if i go to my calendar there is set Sunday at begining of the Week, how to change it to Monday? [14:44] wait. i can compile the driver here and move it [14:45] i'm an idiot [14:45] Yeah, but a discerning one :P [14:45] neville_: yeah but its so obvious. [14:46] faileas: make sure the kernel and header versions are the same on both computers (both are current with updates) if you are going to compile on one computer and use it in the other [14:47] is there any way to check ram speed without having to shutdown? [14:47] erUSUL: they are, one is kubuntu, one is ubuntu, both gutsy. i don't think there's been a kernel update for em [14:47] hi [14:47] just got that mike_ will try it now [14:47] what KDE version does kubuntu use [14:48] KDE4 [14:48] no [14:48] sinbox: try using -H instead of -h [14:48] 7.10 uses 3.5.8 [14:48] Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) uses KDE 3.5 (currently 3.5.9), with experimental KDE4 packages available [14:48] i've uploaded a file to an ftp server but now i can't delete it cause i don't have the permission and i can't change the permission [14:48] how do i get rid of the file ? [14:48] sorry, was looking at kubuntu hardy [14:49] babo? [14:49] .... [14:49] lol? [14:49] the hell? [14:49] Korean? [14:49] there's no make file [14:49] neville_, not exactly [14:49] anyone any ideas on getting rid of my file ? [14:49] turns out that running ntpdate from a preseed script causes debconf or something to stall at "finishing installation 31%". how do i get around this? [14:50] ok...i'm TOTALLY lost [14:50] i can't run cfengine with clocks too far off [14:50] it looks like they have a binary driver, and instrutions for compilation [14:50] faileas: is there a configure or configure.sh file? [14:50] scragar: no [14:51] How can I regenerate the default /etc/fstab? [14:51] only a bunch of .ko files [14:51] faileas: what is this that you want to compile? [14:51] mike_, it still shuts down, tried with -h -H -hold [14:51] faileas: *.ko are kernel modules [14:51] mneptok: well, i'm trying to install drivers for a rt73 based wireless network card [14:52] sinbox: how are do you have it written to execute show me your commands [14:52] box said it has drivers for ubuntu. cd's got debian drivers, but their idiots ;p [14:52] jstrunk: there is no default "fstab" each system has its own tailored to its disks/partitions configuration [14:52] faileas: Debian drivers should work. have you tried them? [14:53] i have a laptop (vista), i installed ubuntu on it. if i install xp on it now, what do i have to do to restore GRUB (without reinstallinh ubuntu completely)? [14:53] mneptok: they are kernel modules. i was under the impression they are supposed to be compliled against mt kernel? [14:53] erusul, right. the installer generates one at install time. I'd like to know how it does that. [14:53] hello , i need help , can someone give me an example how i can use "iconv" to convert file to UTF-8 ? (i already looked at the manual but i cant understand how its been done) [14:53] hi, does anyone know something about the german repository de.archive.ubuntu.com ?? is it down ? [14:53] !grub | joricj [14:53] faileas: you are correct [14:53] joricj: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:53] faileas: what kind of card is this? PCI? Cardbus? [14:53] mneptok: USB [14:54] thx, i really like the help system btw [14:54] mike_, : it stays open now I put -H at the start of the line but I've now got an "error creating child process" the line in the launcher is: -H /usr/local/bin/oddcastv3 -c ~/usr/local/bin/oddcast_LAME.cfg xmms_0:out_1 xmms_0:out_1 [14:54] faileas: personally, with the hassle you will face, i'd get a supported adapter [14:54] jstrunk: maybe you can generate one parsing the output of "fdisk -l" or using some more elaborated techniches [14:54] is ubot3's KB also online somewhere? [14:54] faileas: *every* time Ubuntu updates your kernel you'll need to recompile the drivers. [14:54] mneptok: i got it cause i thought it was supported [14:54] !bot | joricj [14:54] joricj: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:54] mneptok: i'm fine with that, actually [14:55] faileas: does it need to be USB, or is PCI(Express) or Cardbus or PCMCIA OK? [14:55] i prefer USB, that case is a pain to work with [14:55] faileas: k [14:55] * faileas is cool with compiling drivers, as long as it'll work [14:56] * faileas REALLY should avoid ralinks in future [14:56] kate_mins-> what was your sample commands that failed? or errored? [14:57] Do you understand DHCP/Ubuntu/Firefox? Proxy settings via DHCP server? Have some questions... [14:57] hello [14:57] hi [14:57] sinbox: try it this way /usr/local/bin/oddcastv3 -terminal -H [plus whatever other commands] [14:58] faileas: ralinks are one (together with intel) of the most supported cards on linux. They provide a driver after all. Your card happens to be too recent my ralink 2500 works very well [14:59] erUSUL: lol, i've been having that problem a lot lately [14:59] * faileas is gonna download the source and try compiling it [14:59] mike_, termianl window flashed open-close again with that [14:59] hi [15:00] I should buy a new notebook with a blu-ray unit. Can I see blu ray films on linux (ubuntu)? thank you! [15:00] faileas: the USB sticks will be tricky. they are made with lowest common denominator hardware, which usuallt means Broadcom. [15:00] meridian: no [15:00] amenado: iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 inputfile [15:00] sinbox: /usr/local/bin/oddcastv3 -H -e ls [15:00] say i would like to use http://packages.debian.org/sid/asterisk , is there an easy way to make an package for ubuntu ?

[15:00] ops, wc [15:00] mneptok: ubuntu detects it as a ralink, and it has drivers for linux on the [15:00] er [15:01] mneptok: it has drivers for linux on the disk. obviously compiled by someone clueless ;p [15:02] kate_mins-> were you getting an error? [15:02] hmm [15:02] can I play the BlyRay with a win emulator? [15:02] thanks legend2440 [15:03] hey im completely new to linux and ubunto.. [15:03] anyone good w/ java? [15:03] I will start with making a dd image of the disk.

[15:03] faileas: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [15:04] sinbox: try it out lemme know if that works [15:04] I know more or less what sizes the partitions were [15:04] erUSUL: got it.

I know I need to learn the ropes but, I want to get this to [15:07] from my point of view i would just ignore it, but i am not that used to ubuntu [15:07] work first, so that I can learn a few things everyday. Thanks for reading. [15:07] kate_mins-> i dont know how a utf-8 looks like to begin with nor the iso8559 maybe try something like a chinese or japanese text to western? [15:07] erUSUL: it dosen't seem to connect [15:08] Odd-rationale: i did run apt-get update in front of it [15:08] How do I unrar an archive thats split into 38 pieces ? [15:08] kate_mins the command is okay though [15:08] faileas: are you working with wireless drivers ? [15:08] odb|fide1_: Well, it should be okay. I get that too, sometimes [15:08] ThRixXx: unrar x file.r00 [15:08] could anyone guide me in private how to start up ubuntu?

[15:09] ace08: From livecd? [15:09] how do i start up ubuntu? [15:09] Hi! I would like to use http://packages.debian.org/sid/asterisk , is there an easy way to make an package for ubuntu ? [15:09] from a iso-cd [15:09] burned with iso [15:09] aantn-> is the ubuntu side running sshd ? it has to be running an sshd server to allow remote access from windows [15:10] ubuntu server edition 7.1 [15:10] faileas: then i recomend that you use this drivers http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download [15:10] amenado, I can boot from it, but am not sure how to mount the root because my installation failed quite a few times and I've got lots of partitions [15:10] !ssh | aantn [15:10] aantn: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [15:10] I ftp'd an application into a folder and installed the app. Then i decided to get rid of the app and tried to delete all the folders. It told me though that I don't have permission to remove some of the settings files. How is that possible ? How did the ownership of those files change ? [15:10] does anyone know of an up to date list of wireless nic cards taht just work? looking to get one and would like to avoid some of the issues i've read people have (with ndiswrapper etc) [15:10] ace08: Are you certain you burned the contents of the iso not the iso itself?

[15:11] ok i just installed ubuntu 2.6.15-51 server on a virtual machine (vitualbox) and I go to boot it for the first time and it says uncompressing linux... ok , booting the kernel and it just hangs there, can anyone help me out? [15:11] and i think it is installed [15:11] ace08: What happens when you boot up the cd? [15:11] mike_: universal drivers? o0 [15:11] amenado, oh ok, but what happens to my hard disk space? [15:11] ODD:but think i didnt get the lamp installed.. [15:11] hmm [15:11] faileas: what did you use to install the driver.. [15:11] i get to a menu like dos [15:11] * faileas thinks he has a workaround [15:11] mcquaid: i can vote for a ralink 2500pci based one because it is what i use and works well [15:12] sudo command and stuff [15:12] NarayanS-> it is still there, you can re-coup by reformatted that partition, [15:12] thx erUSUL brobostigon [15:12] reformatting* [15:12] mike_: whatever ubuntu comes with for that [15:12] it it unix enviroment ? [15:12] as asterisk packages are ported from debian to ubuntu as far as i can tell, is there a way to find out when a certain version will be ported (estimate) ? [15:12] Is there some way I can format the thing first and then installing? [15:12] erUSUL, is it just install the hardware and it works automagically? or do you have to muck a bit? [15:12] ODD:how do i get into Ubunto like windows [15:12] ace08: You mean the text install mode? You have a blue background? [15:13] my friend is looking for one too and he's new to linux. would like to recommend one that's the easiest to setup [15:13] faileas: i was having the same problem with mine last night i had to use ndiswrapper [dont know if you gave windows drivers for your wireless card] and i just messed with from there and its working now [15:13] its more black and its text mode [15:13] my top and bottom gnome panels are gone. i rebooted but they didn't come back. how do i get them back? i right click up where its supposed to be but i don't get add panel option [15:13] mcquaid: automagically after a fresh 64 bit gutsy install. Just click on network manager provide password (i use wpa2) and connect [15:13] i think the installation is done [15:13] ace08: You have a prompt? This is running off the cd right?

[15:15] NarayanS yes go ahead do that, just make sure you know which partition. [15:15] ace08: Are you trying to install the server? [15:15] What cam I use to edit binary files? [15:15] hi there everybody [15:16] kamikaze so the package is in hardy, just an older version? im not 100% sure the correct methodology but maybe post a wishlist bug against the older version , hopefully someone more knowledge able can help :) [15:16] sn0: did try to do it myselve, but am not quite sure it is the way to go about it, so was hoping on getting some pointers [15:16] skarface: that worked ty [15:16] HELOO .... where can I find Appereance Themes for Ubuntu?

I setup up a friends new computer with ubuntu, and he wanted the front usb ports working on his pc case. I looked inside and the usb wires leading from the front of the case are 5 pin. [15:31] Fat-head-> you want something that work or dont work? try running SELinux and see if it meets your malware criteria [15:31] amenado, the cahnge I made was in users and groups btw. That caused me the error last time [15:31] konis: yeah..is it sudo apt-get install ubuntu-lamp that i should write then?

There are partitions from other OSes as well [16:02] I think dd | gzip | nc might be the best.

[16:03] i wanted to upgrade from 6.1 to 7.0.4, so i went looking for some details, which turned out to be "run do-release-upgrade". now i have a system that "cannot find any devices listed in mdadm.conf"...

[16:04] use the alternate install disk [16:04] where can i get it? [16:04] i am getting through the install but it freezes when booting from hard disc [16:04] Karacho2: live cd or alternate cd [16:04] live cd [16:04] Karacho2: You can look on the forums to see if someone has a boot option that helps. It's worth a look before downloading another cd. [16:04] alternate cd is a much faster install [16:04] Karacho2: www.ubuntu.com [16:05] I haven't found anyting in the forum, though [16:05] Karacho2: But the alternate is the most sure-fire way to fix it. [16:05] k [16:05] Karacho2: stuff like noapic [16:05] Narayans_: if you installed GRUB, it's listed there.. other than that, I can't :) [16:05] i'll give it a try then [16:05] Karacho2: the boot param acpi=off sometimes works [16:05] Karacho2: There are others.

[18:16] strabes: you should know it because you are going to apply the patch to something, aren't you?

[18:54] aka poor mans install lol [18:54] killme: if suspend is a feature you want, you should go to launchpad.net and search for your model, or report a new bug if there's no bug allready. Someone will eventually get it fixed [18:55] can amule be used anonymously? [18:55] ^4nDr3s: I would rather not reinstall, there should be a way for me to rebuild the kernel like in gentoo I am hoping [18:55] <_Oz_> Mikey: ubuntu is "crapping out" on you? something is definitely not right. I install ubuntu once and can months without rebooting. [18:55] conb123, try downloading the iso and checking the md5. an error could have occurred when you netbooted it [18:55] no i did an install using these files one second [18:55] geirha: I don't need that as a feature, I just want to avoid suspending [18:55] !kernel | Mikey [18:55] Mikey: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [18:56] _Oz_: I'm not sure if VMserver is just way to unstable on ubuntu. But I use many different linux distros and ubuntu has just not been playing nice with me [18:56] ItchyHobo: I don't think so. it has traffic shaping protection but that's it [18:56] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: aas i said, im not experienced with kernels, but i do know that you can install other kernles using apt-get... maybe you can reinstall it. i think it is something like: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image... [18:56] killme: the the power management settings is what you want to change [18:56] http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ [18:56] <_Oz_> Mikey: you're using it in vmware? I'd try vbox... I think vbox is far superior. [18:56] ever try Virtualbox? [18:56] and ubuntu for dos [18:56] I'm having some trouble with X in 7.10 with an ATI All-in-wonder 9200. I just get a black screen when X starts. My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/mfb0509a and my server log is here: http://rafb.net/p/JKv1IP76.html [18:56] so there was no iso involved [18:56] <_Oz_> Gary_inNYC has the right idea, Mikey. VirtualBox. Do it. [18:56] ^4nDr3s: I had already thought about that, but I would need to reinstall that kernel in a chroot envireonment [18:56] geirha: sorry for the n00b question, but which file is the one I should touch? [18:56] conb123, what is your internet service provider? [18:56] <_Oz_> I use virtualbox. It is awesome. [18:57] frank_, so u cant use it via tor; how is privacy on the eD2k networks? [18:57] <_Oz_> Mikey: recommend you join the channel #vbox [18:57] and also i have various i386 copies of ubuntu and one was actually delivered to me and that does it aswell [18:57] errr bulldog [18:57] why [18:57] ? [18:57] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading makes a distinction between Ubuntu desktops and Ubuntu servers. It is a server I want to upgrade... but what is the difference between do-release-upgrade and Update Manager? [18:57] is that high speed? [18:57] ItchyHobo: oh yeah maybe you can use tor. I've never used it though [18:57] about 2mb i spose [18:57] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: i've changed kernel versions by just doing a sudo apt-get install kernel... and it worked fine for me [18:57] i need help with ati drivers.. i have a laptop with an hd2600, i installed envy all is well, except the video flickers during play back and screensave [18:58] r [18:58] _Oz_: I wouldn't join #vbox quite yet. FIrst I will have to fix the linux kernel on my ubuntu machine [18:58] <_Oz_> fix it? [18:58] ^4nDr3s: on livecd? [18:58] <_Oz_> what are you doing, modding the thing? [18:58] WOAH [18:58] This is the 3rd time I try to install Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Vostro 1000.. the installation reaches %55 and then gives an I/O error message saying fault CD or CD drive.. did anyone come across the same problem ? [18:58] ItchyHobo: well ed2k has a bunch of fake servers you have to steer clear from. [18:58] _Oz_: Yes, I have a kernel panic [18:58] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: nope... you can have various kernels installed at the same time [18:58] <_Oz_> Mikey: well if you're modifying the kernel, all bets are off [18:58] I just rebooted my computer and flash works flawlessly :D [18:58] and grub is pointed to the right kernel image [18:58] <_Oz_> mikey: you're on your own there [18:58] join #debian [18:58] I don't know what to say. I don't have problems during installation. I normally download the ISO image, check the md5sum, and make a copy. I've never had a distro fail me like that. [18:59] xphisher, dude ATI has problems with video playback and other stuff [18:59] killme: on the top panel, go to System -> Preferences -> Power Management [18:59] me neither until now [18:59] frank_, c i wanna know if the governement can getya if u download pirated stuff/ is there someway to track ed2k users? [18:59] Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open any IMA ADPCM file. What can I do to solve it? [18:59] _Oz_: what I would really like to do is just get a working kernel and switch it with my current kernel\ [18:59] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: for example, when there was a kernel update, and i didn't use synaptic to upodate it, i just install it by using apt-get and then, it automatically added a new entry for that kernel on grub [18:59] everything works perfectly in xp [18:59] Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open any IMA ADPCM file. What can I do to solve it? [19:00] ^4nDr3s: Unfortunately ZI can't at all get into ubuntu in command line. ALl I can use is the livecd [19:00] I need a user friendly back up files to DVD type of tool. ( May be duplicating up to 30 Gigs of data, so it would be nice if it could span disks. ) Anyone know of anything? [19:00] don't know what to say. are you dual booting?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:00] i have suspicions that my hard drive may have gone bad though [19:00] _Oz_: I know on Gentoo, when I make changes to my system I use chroot [19:00] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: yeah try using livecd [19:00] conb123, well dude if you have hardware problems that has nothing to do with system :) [19:00] conb123, prefer a hard disk check [19:01] ItchyHobo: well if you download a file you can see the IPs of everyone else who has it. but then again it's the same with bittorrent and the others [19:01] i did do one there was nothing so my suspicions are probably wrong [19:01] <^4nDr3s> !kernel [19:01] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [19:01] ^4nDr3s: Well If it installs a kernel on the livecd somewhere, I will move it on to my root partition for my ubuntu system, and make sure grub is pointing to it [19:01] it might just be an error during installing file copying [19:01] <^4nDr3s> Mikey: try here, it may help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [19:01] no it does it when booting from the hard drive as well [19:02] thats what i mean. [19:02] anyone know what the difference between firefox 3 and firefox 2008 is? [19:02] frank_, i think i'll feed my amule some tor onions to see if it still works... [19:02] oh so it would be copying bad files [19:02] kind of [19:02] !piracy | ItchyHobo [19:02] ItchyHobo: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[19:03] Jeriath: Firefox 2008 is not official, and probably a spyware/adware vector [19:03] can somebody help me.. I cannon switch on my Intel wireless pro 3945ABG adapter on :((( the button doesn't work [19:03] alright [19:03] thanks [19:03] conb123, it might be. i do things the old fashioned way, so its hard to tell. [19:03] ill stick with the beta then [19:03] geirha: thanks, I changed "sleep time" to never, I hope it will be the solution [19:03] _Oz_: That's not eaxctly what I want to do [19:04] Firefox 2008 sounds like it is from microsoft; me, i never heard of it [19:04] i would have just installed from the cd but it kept freezing so i did a poor mans install [19:04] anyway ill be back soon bye [19:04] _Oz_: What I am wanting to do is just update the kernel from livecd. (Was thinking about how I should say what I want) [19:04] somebody?

[19:10] .org, sorry [19:10] ooo....firefox 3 beta 4 is out [19:10] Alaerus might have special buttons on his keyboard to enable/disable wireless for security purposes.. these are not standard buttons and therefore need special drivers to function.

I'd just redownload the .iso, check the md5 sum and burn the image on a new cd. start fresh and clean [19:20] I've searched google, there are several bugs with similar issues, but they appear to be for different chipsets. [19:20] cannon could it be my graphics card i have an ati raedon x1950 pro 256mb i used envy to install the drivers any problems ever been reported with that [19:21] hmm, does 7.0.4 use the 2.6.17 kernel? i don't have multiple kernel versions in my grub menu, and 2.6.17 is what's listed. [19:21] sdaugherty: Change line 65 to read radeon instead of ati [19:21] fwiw, I'm pretty sure it was working in 7.04 [19:21] genii: ok. [19:21] Does anyone know how to rebuil your initrd image [19:22] how to change the gnome menu style? like an other shape and other icons [19:22] conb123, could be. but then again, i've been lucky and never had any problems with ubuntu i couldnt fix. the only time i've had a graphic card problem was back in the slackware 8.1 days on a HP Pavilion [19:22] genii: thanks, I'll give that a try, brb hopefully [19:24] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [19:24] bash: mkinitrd: command not found [19:24] damn this sucks i really want ubuntu [19:24] how to disable privileged user warning when login as root GUI [19:24] ill keep googling [19:24] thanks for all your help [19:24] Mikey-> if you run upgrade-grub it will run the mkinitrd to recreate the initrd file [19:25] amenado: Will this work form the live cd? [19:25] conb123, i suggest not booting ubuntu live. it varies on performance depending on your specs. if you are going to boot a live cd, i suggest it running a watered down wm such as fluxbox or blackbox, etc. [19:25] Mikey I believe it does, you may have to chroot to / not sure.. [19:25] conb123, most probably u have a faulty download [19:26] conb123, by freeze, do you mean u see a tan screen for a while? [19:26] amenado: Thats my problem I can't figure out how to get chroot to work on ubuntu [19:26] amenado: I know how to do it on gentoo linux [19:26] lunaphyte_: 7.04 used 2.6.20 iirc [19:27] Mikey-> are you booted not on livecd ?

[19:27] Question: If I am a Ubuntu user looking at a new laptop, should I choose the 64 bit processor or stick with 32 bits? What is the 64bit compatibility for Ubuntu and are there really issues?

[19:36] i ve got a problem with resolution of my desktop [19:36] NoFX_SBC: for gutsy probably the best option is to dwonload the deb of the hardy kernel from packages.ubuntu.com and install it (if possible never tried i build my own kernels) [19:36] how install drivers to nvidia 8800 gt? [19:36] ? [19:36] shyboy: they should show up in the restricted drivers manager [19:36] it works correctly with the vesa drivers, obviously that's not a route I want to go though :) [19:36] erUSUL u recommend a older version of kernel? [19:37] i ve nothing to my graphic card [19:37] shyboy: ? [19:37] sdaugherty: I would try installing the proprietary ati-driver. xorg-driver-fglrx, just to see if that works at least [19:37] in the system manager to nvidia 8800 [19:37] NoFX_SBC: you can try with the edgy kernel too [19:37] erUSUL ok [19:37] May anyone help with a simple script please.

[19:38] "no devices detected" [19:38] steveo_: reinstall [19:38] deviank: virtualbox [19:39] NoFX_SBC: the only way to know for sure is to try another kernel [19:39] IIRC the fglrx drivers removed support for older cards a while back [19:39] puplin, is it better you reckon? [19:39] uggg...if I reinstall do I lose everything I had installed ? [19:39] Edgy works great, I just installed Nvidia drivers with it (8400GS) [19:39] amenado: Chroot is what I wanted, I didn't know it was as easy as typing chroot /mnt/ubuntu [19:39] deviank: depends what you want to install on it === mwti_ is now known as mwti [19:39] Mikey-> as easy as that [19:39] you mean envy Zen_ ?

What is it for apt-get [19:40] geirha: I'm thinking so too, especially as only 2 resolutions in there [19:40] May anyone have the time to help me with a simple script please? [19:40] jerbear, are you there? I thought I had it working, but it's still asking me for the passphrase when I open a new session. The passphrase is the same as the server's password that is initiating the ssh communication. Am I supposed to use that libpam-ssh now? [19:40] !anyone | karlrhs [19:40] karlrhs: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[19:41] puplin, i'll give it a shot if vmware stays a resource hog like it is now just installing xp D: [19:41] Is there a way to extend the ppp negotiation time in ubuntu? This modem takes longer than usual to connect, leaving not enough time to negotiate ppp .. "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" [19:41] deviank: yeah i found that virtualbox uses less resources [19:41] gavi: compiz-fusion is newer version result of the "fusion-merge" with beryl [19:41] deviank: it's open source, too, so that's an added benefit [19:42] !medibuntu | Linux_Fresher [19:42] erUSUL, so if i wanted to make my pc all fancy pants i would look at compiz-fusion? [19:42] sdaugherty: the VertRefresh and HorizSync settings, did you input those? If you search for specs and your monitor's model, you should find those values. They really need to be correct [19:42] amenado: That didn't work, I mean is there a way to reinstall all the packages? [19:42] geez i have 143 updates today [19:42] lile 82 yesterday [19:42] amenado: through upgrade [19:42] puplin, sweet. /crossfingers it can magicly support already created virtual box made in vmware :P [19:42] wrong channel [19:42] lol [19:42] dont really want to install again lol [19:42] hardy with a broadcom wireless ? I have to run FWcutter on every reboot ! === Decoy|UA-IX is now known as jsz [19:43] gavi: with apt/aptitude, it automatically selects compiz-fusion instead of compiz [19:43] checked them, they are within the monitor's supported range [19:43] puplin, is it easy to install? apt-get install compiz-fusion? [19:43] yes [19:43] genii: well, 1024x768 should work on any monitor bought in this millenium I should think [19:43] I just pulled a previously working xorg.conf from backups, and it's not working [19:44] Does anyone/anybody know how to take this script and tell it what directory to send the output files to "transcode -i /dev/dvd1 -x null,dvd -U file -N 0×1 -T 1,-1 -a 0 -y wav" thank you so very much. [19:44] if you're using gnome, make sure it also gets compiz-gnome [19:44] hello! where can I talk to bug-wranglers?

[19:48] karlrhs: adding ' -o "$1/output.avi" ' to the end of that line, and running the script with ' ./the_script /tmp/foo ' should save the output as /tmp/foo/output.avi [19:48] puplin: okies, i have blind faith on this channel, so if u say its ok to say that in terminal, i will do so [19:48] W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com gutsy/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_partner_binary-i386_Packages) [19:48] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [19:48] yeah [19:48] hey, the tops of my windows disappeared, I think something crashed, what do I have to restart to get it back?

[19:49] genii: that seems to be the correct specs indeed, and the horizsync and vertrefresh values are correct, so that configuration should work ... [19:49] folks whats the most efficent way to clean my computer from unnecessary things installed from the default install. [19:49] puplin: i have burnt my fingers bad on windows with those things [19:49] ks3, I had it up and working yesterday but then my network went down and now there's no route to host. [19:49] !apt | Linux_Fresher [19:49] Linux_Fresher: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [19:50] there are not really spywares/viruses in linux [19:50] especially in the repos [19:50] puplin: okies .. i trust you .. [ i guess ] [19:50] you just trust it :) [19:50] Barko: no route to host? that may not be nfs related... are you able to ping the host? [19:50] Linux_Fresher: lol [19:50] sdaugherty: do you have any other monitors you can test with? just to rule out whether it is a problem with the monitor or not [19:50] DigitalNinja: Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122057 re: mime magic [19:51] I let dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg taxe the values from DPMS, so they should be correct. [19:51] how can i get dd to write to the end of the file? [19:51] ks3, I just found my problem. The IP changed from .106 to .102 for some reason. [19:51] linux_fresher: dont worry too much about viruses but dont use pirated versions of things like crossover office [19:51] puplin, thats because linux is better than windows. :P [19:51] Is there anyway to have it adapt or no? [19:51] hola alguien habla español? [19:51] help i cant add the "system hardware" modules to my gnome menu panel i get strange stripes [19:51] well on linux viruses are very very rare but they are some [19:51] Cann0n: of course! [19:51] I have other monitors, this one is working if I set the driver to vesa though. [19:51] sharkos: Thanks [19:51] so I don't think it's the monitor. [19:51] my freaking windows box keeps bsoding me during arb things like firefox/skype but my ubuntu partition doesnt with same hardware, thats a first :P [19:51] Barko: Only if you can refer to it by hostname. Do you have an internal DNS server? [19:51] I just swapped my ide dvd rom for a sata dvd rom and now i can play dvd's it says missing plug ins [19:51] realistically & practically speaking linux is virus free [19:51] queria saber varias cosas antes de instalar ubuntu [19:52] puplin: erm !! there is some open office thing that came with this live cd .. i did install the live cd to hard drive though .. so now i am kinda screwed already ? =/ [19:52] ks3, I'm not sure. I'm only mounting a directory from another computer. [19:52] Linux_Fresher: ? [19:52] what's the problem? [19:52] Linux_Fresher, ive seen two viruses in 8 yeas of linux useage.... and they where just scripts you had to run. you know, like a batch file for windows... and the only reason i found then was because i was interested and went looking for then... [19:52] pixael: what can be happenz whit thoose stuffs [19:52] Barko: Probably not then. If you control the DHCP server, you could create a reservation for you NFS server so it always gets the same IP address. [19:52] Carlos1308: #ubuntu-es [19:52] pixael: like crossover :) [19:53] sorry thanks [19:53] Linux_Fresher: open office is the open source office suite that comes with ubuntu. crossover office is a proprietary program that allows you to run microsoft office in ubuntu. Open Office is GOOD ;) [19:53] maybe it is though, I'll lug the other one over here to test. [19:53] ks3, Okay, I'll try working on the hostname then. [19:53] Cann0n, can a virus be really made to take down a linux system, or linux is just too robust? [19:53] geirha, it's not good at least at startup... [19:53] puplin: .. i dont know what u r taking about .. u said something about cross over linux .. i am turning to linux coz i am pi$$ed at windowz and its viruses .. now i installed linux and it automatically installed some open office thing with it .. so is that the cross over thing u r saying [19:53] bicz: any pirated versions of commercial software can contain backdoors [19:54] no [19:54] geirha: aaah !! okies ..thanks for that one .. so i am safe till now i guess :) [19:54] ItchyHobo: If you're running as root, yes. Other wise it can only damage you home directory. [19:54] its just a rule of thumb, pirated software has to pay its bills somewhere [19:54] openoffice is the open source office suite for linux, windows, etc. [19:54] pixael, any commercial software can have backdoors [19:54] Linux_Fresher: no, Open Office is the good one; it's free but can handle Office files etc. etc. [19:54] way better than M$ office [19:54] lunaphyte does this match with your problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/67256 [19:54] Malone bug 67256 in initramfs-tools "Failure to mount root filesystem, cause unknown" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:54] bardyr: yeah for sure but pirated stuff is likely to have a bit of Russian Business Network action ;) [19:54] ItchyHobo, the two i've seen were just... delete commands that crippled linux kernels, bin directories, etc. you'd have to be digging somewhere you really shouldnt be to get one. === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer [19:55] Odd-rationale: or takes some data? maybe? [19:55] ks3, I tried to unmount using the hostname but it won't work.

To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org [19:55] ItchyHobo: only with user stupidity can anything bad happen with Linux ^^ [19:55] Odd-rationale, did u have any virus attack that damages ur personal files, cuz i have been kinda preaching the virtues of linux at my office and they decided to keep email and file backups on linux systems [19:56] booxter: what do you mean? [19:56] specifically ubuntu [19:56] pixael, depends on where and how you get the pirated software, most pirated software have never even been in Russia [19:56] ItchyHobo: Not that I know of. [19:56] ItchyHobo, you dont have to worry about viruses... more people die of ants a year than users get linux viruses [19:56] sdaugherty: Please do: sudo apt-get install read-edid then put into pastebin results of command: sudo get-edid|parse-edid [19:57] geirha, I mean OpenOffice is as "quick" as my great-grandma [19:57] constant virus attacks played havoc with windows users and last time we lost some really important files [19:57] bicz: True. Spyware can effects any interent user. [19:57] puplin: so crossover office is some kind of addon to open office ? to may be look more like actually m$ office ? [19:57] :) [19:57] fire ants can kill me :\ [19:57] Barko: Then you'll have to go by IP address. You could possibly setup a local DNS server, but it probably wouldn't be worth the effort unless this happens regularly. [19:57] Linux_Fresher: no [19:57] ItchyHobo, you can't port a windows virus to linux like that [19:57] puplin: >.< [19:57] Linux_Fresher, crossover office is a commercial wine edition [19:57] ks3, the router craps out every few weeks at random [19:57] crossover office is a tool that lets you run M$ office in linux [19:57] (and itunes, etc., etc.) [19:57] bardyr: ooh !! ok .. nice explaination !! i get it now :) [19:57] Cann0n, can wine read windows viruses [19:57] ? [19:57] doomsday this is the end of the world 14 mar super movie [19:58] Barko: what kind of router is it? [19:58] Windows == viruses, and spyware. Why one might ask. Well, mabye companies like Trendmicro make money on it and it allows microsoft to spread FUD. [19:58] ks3, linksys [19:58] Odd-rationale: now i got a problem :) [19:58] !suspend [19:58] Factoid suspend not found [19:58] booxter: ah, I might have to agree there, though I don't know your great-grandma, I assume she's slow. But it's good in the sense that it's open source :) [19:58] ItchyHobo, good question. i was thinking testing that, but this system doenst have and emulators. i dual boot [19:58] People are afraid of using their computers unless they buy more software.

[19:59] booxter: great for fairy tales :) [19:59] bardyr: in the past 4 years most malware has been traced back to an organisation called RBN, russian business network :D [19:59] hmm.. [19:59] platinumblack: it looks very familiar... [19:59] all the major botnets etc [19:59] ItchyHobo, give me 10 minutes and i'll tell u [19:59] opensource is not a silver bullet for such a huge project as OpenOffice I think [19:59] !sleep [19:59] Factoid sleep not found [19:59] Linux_Fresher, man if u really wanna learn linux experiment and play with it; but before u do that create a backup... [20:00] puplin: hell yes to that .. plus there is NOT a single help channel for windows which can even think of coming close to the level of coolness and support of people here... amen to that [20:00] lol [20:00] yeah try ##windows :P [20:00] meh...

NOT WINDOZ [20:00] LordOfThePigs: For me too: sleep/hibernate == shutdown/restart [20:01] Linux_Fresher, linux is free... and ive seen maybe 10 applications you have to pay before in 8 years [20:01] Linux_Fresher: lol [20:01] i suggest using linux, not using linux to run windows programs [20:01] Linux_Fresher: regarding viruses and the likes, have a read at this: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [20:01] salut tout le monde [20:01] Cann0n: ... and most of those 10 were viruses anyway!

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:04] Cann0n, guess u r right; wine can be used as a sandbox to test viruses though... [20:04] Hi there, last night when I went to bed, my resolution was 1024*768, this morning when I woke up i got a message saying there were errors with my monitor (Acer 15 inch, 4 years old) and graphics card (intel gma x3100 ), now when ever I boot up and shut down my monitor displays a message saying "input not supported" and the resolution only stays at 800*600, please could somebody help [20:04] geirha: nice doc .. basically puts me at peace =) [20:04] Is there any wiki page giving pointers on how to get suspend to work won gutsy? [20:04] geirha: btw .. geirha: btw i have done following things .. 1) installed and updated ubuntu .. rebooted 2) installed and rebooted 'restricted drivers' .. only nVidia stuff in there .. worked perfectly, things look [20:04] yeah it could, but out of all the crazy places i find myself on the web, using spybot and avg on windows xp, along with firefox, i'm pretty safe. [20:04] a5 is still pretty buggy.. broken firefox link on the start bar? nobody noticed that in alpha4 ?!! [20:04] mine always uses 800x600 too. no matter what i do, and i'm using matrox g200 16mb [20:05] geirha: amazingly good .. so now what next ? [20:05] Cann0n, anyway the virus threat via wine doesn't look serious cuz the only apps i use wine for are games; and u have to be pretty evil to design viruses to target specific games [20:05] especially when i've built a security database of trojans and virus code. not one has escaped my control [20:05] geirha: also, updated syanptic and 'add remove' from start menu and rebooted [20:05] Linux_Fresher: now you can have fun! [20:05] Linux_Fresher: you almost never need to reboot [20:05] I'm in linux and using the newest beta, how can I change the pitch of a track I've imported by a half step with audacity? [20:05] puplin: but .. still i cant seem to find fish swimming on my cube [20:05] what is the unix command to like chkdsk? [20:06] any one here gotten Dual heads to work with the open source ATI drivers? [20:06] puplin: oh .. thats the windows part .. i am trying to lose that mentality !! [20:06] Would you consider 1 gigabyte for /boot to be overkill? [20:06] Linux_Fresher: now you learn bash scripting like any good linux geek does ;) [20:06] yeah. most viruses arent geared toward games, just general over all destruction and aggravation. i dont blame folks making viruses for windows [20:06] Linux_Fresher: alt+f2 --> compiz --replace [20:06] geirha: okies .. gimmi some book name for it [20:06] Cann0n: I had a collection of over 2000 unique viruses back in the dos/bbs days.. never caused me any problems, just files in a directory. [20:06] i mean shit, if it wasnt for viruses and black hat hackers, our technology would still be less advanced on the security end [20:06] Laruft, fsck [20:06] !fsck [20:06] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [20:06] puplin: alt + F2 gave some window called run application [20:07] !ohmy Cann0n [20:07] yeah [20:07] Factoid ohmy cann0n not found [20:07] type in compiz --replace [20:07] lol [20:07] Linux_Fresher: alt+f2 is like win+r or Start --> Run [20:07] !grub [20:07] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[20:07] puplin: it just kind of closed and restarted the whole screen [20:07] yeah [20:08] now compiz is running [20:08] !mp3 | mihkel [20:08] mihkel: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:08] thx [20:08] puplin: but still there arent fish swimming [20:08] ok... putting in the frequency values rather than having DPMS autodetect them worked, even though it's showing the same values detected as I'm manually specifying [20:08] sdaugherty: Were you able to install the read-edid utility and find out the modes of your monitor yet? [20:08] why doesn't Ubuntu use a nice graphical boot loader like lilo since it is suppose to be the User friendly Linux? [20:08] seisen, am i right? look at linux compared to windows. [20:08] what is up with ubotu still.. we're a linux help channel and there's nobody around who knows how to fix up a bot?!!

[20:10] Cann0n: wouldn't be that hard actually.. have a process sit in background, wait for the .sudo_as_admin_successful flag to come up, then ride that to root. [20:10] Linux_Fresher: aahhh, well it looks like compiz, but, a little different [20:10] zcat[1], Please note.. offtopic [20:10] Linux_Fresher: start with compiz [20:10] puplin: i have already played with that cmss pakage !! :) .. but i couldnt find fish in there lol [20:11] puplin: my screen now rotates like a cube ^^ [20:11] yeah that's cool... [20:11] keep adding plugins :) [20:11] I googled the frequencies and put them in manually [20:11] teh gnome compiz prefs app SUCKS [20:11] Linux_Fresher, I linked you three times to the addons that need to be compiled and at least one other person linked them to you as well [20:11] but i don't know of fish... [20:11] Wavesonics: yeah [20:11] lemme jump back inside X [20:11] Wavesonics: i use compiz-settings-manager [20:12] puplin: yeah and wobbly windows rock !! i am trying to find some disney cartoon theme for it !! these wobbles will go very well with a cartoon theme .. btw does linux has theme concept like windoz ? [20:12] yeah [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: :):):):):):):):):) [20:12] pulpin: is that in the normal repos? [20:12] Linux_Fresher: gnome-look.org has a lot of themes and backgrounds [20:12] i didn't know windows did :) [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: u r back !! [20:12] Wavesonics: yeah [20:12] when i'm adding an option like "all_generic_ide" to grub at the grub menu during boot, where exactly does this go? [20:12] Linux_Fresher, u have no idea how much u can customize the linux look ;) [20:12] the default choices (off, some 3d, more 3d) are pretty slack.. they should include the advanced settings as well, by default.. [20:12] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:12] I just searched for compiz-settings-manager in synaptic and nothing came up [20:12] Linux_Fresher, u will be VERY pleasantly surprised.. [20:12] yeh soz it's compizconfig-settings-manager [20:12] lunaphyte_: right after where it says something like quiet splash === Dr`Maison is now known as fraiddo [20:13] !universe [20:13] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[20:13] Cann0n: we were offtopic :( [20:14] !offtopic [20:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:14] lunaphyte: look in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/* you'll find that all those are scripts run at boot time [20:14] Cann0n, It is offtopic.. it belongs in offtopic and not in support [20:14] ubot3: i love you :) [20:14] Factoid i love you :) not found [20:14] aahhhh [20:14] When did ubotu become ubot3? [20:14] lol [20:14] wow thats anal. [20:14] pianoboy3333, Bots are in for tuneups [20:14] ubotu broke down :( [20:14] pianoboy3333: after ubotu and ubotwo both broke [20:14] pianoboy3333: when it crashed twice [20:14] lol ubot3 [20:15] pianoboy3333: he didn't. ubot3 is a third bot. There's also ubotwo [20:15] hahaha [20:15] sure wish CodeBlocks would get added to an official repo [20:15] Jack_Sparrow: how is viruses off topic? [20:15] is is a help forum [20:15] puplin, It has nothing to do with support.. [20:15] then dont ban the people who ask the questions relating to viruses on ubuntu [20:16] Jack_Sparrow: it sort of did [20:16] puplin it might be better to discuss viruses in #ubuntu-offtopic more general chat than a help room :) [20:16] sometimes @s just feel some topic is .. people have to realise that chat channel entry is a privilege , not a right [20:16] Linux_Fresher: This migth help you install compiz plugins the easy way; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620000 :) [20:16] Cann0n, Take it to offtopic [20:16] puplin: oh my god this settings manager is SSOOO mcuh better! [20:16] Cann0n: where to find clamav package or why you don't need it is ontopic.. how you might write a linux virus is offtopic :) [20:16] it was in response to questions/comments about worry about viruses in ubuntu [20:16] zcat[1]-> did you get you ppp modem issue resolved? [20:16] Wavesonics: lol [20:16] yeah yeah i know. but i didnt ask the questions on linux viruses. i guess to help you havent to turn a def ear [20:17] Cann0n: discussion of viruses on ubuntu specifically is a valid topic. [20:17] !rootkit [20:17] Factoid rootkit not found [20:17] lunaphyte: maybe i misunderstood your question, at grub menu select an option and press e, then select the 2nd line (the one with root=...) and press e add the option all_generic_ide then press enter then press b to boot [20:17] puplin, it went way beyond that to the point of how one might go about writing one.. [20:17] tritium, dont tell me that, i didnt ban myself [20:17] amenado: yeah, I think 'passive' might fix it. Modem's not here tho, have emailed the person with the suggestion tho. [20:17] Cann0n: I'm just clarifying for you, friend [20:17] there's no factoid for rootkit? [20:17] zcat[1]-> i would not think lcp would start until one gets a "connect" status from a modem [20:18] tritium, thank you. [20:18] Cann0n: i would say if one is infected and is having problems, it would become a topic in this channel, but just discussing linux viruses may be off topic for some @s .. again, being here is a privilege .. not a right [20:18] platinumblack: yeah, that was what i was wondering, thanks. [20:18] amenado: by default pppd sends 10 attempts, one second apart then hangs up... the other end hasn't caught up after we connected.. passive, it will send ten attempts and then wait and see what comes back [20:19] so I think that will work [20:19] Cann0n: like me very newbie in linux being guided by many and especially Jack_Sparrow .. i wasnt knowing he is @ here till he morphed into one a few lines above !! but if he feels discussing fish on cube is offtopic, he has right to warn me [20:19] i guess im in the wrong then. sigh... i just recall some people being paranoid about linux viruses. i was just emphasizing on that. [20:19] zcat[1]-> still, til the status of connect from modem handshake, lcp should never start [20:19] Cann0n: you're not wrong [20:20] i have a mx700 mouse and when i use the scollup button it goes back a page, can anyone help? [20:20] amenado: connect yes.. .but other end has to spawn pppd and apparently that's taking them some time.. overloaded dialup server I think [20:20] Cann0n: yup .. its just mis understanding m8, no one is wrong or right !! but arguing over the matter sure makes it wrong in the eyes of some @s .. after all, they are the sledge hammer !! [20:20] tritium, didn't think so. [20:20] Cann0n: doesn't pay to argue with the @'s .. [20:20] zcat[1]-> yep good possibility [20:21] eatatjoes2 did you try dpkg-reconfigure? [20:21] Cann0n: i would even say that discussing whats right and wrong for this channel is fathoms away from ubuntu issues .. this general discussion totally is #ubuntu-offtopic thing [20:21] hello [20:21] how do i plse disable X starting by default [20:21] amenado: and if that fails, perhaps more request attempts, or make them further apart... but we'll see how passive goes [20:21] i want to always start from the console [20:21] when i boot [20:22] it does Linux_Fresher. so i say what is my business mine, and leave be what happened. [20:22] egoleo: mv /etc/rc2.d/S20gdm /etc/rc2.d/K20gdm [20:22] Cann0n: good call m8 .. cheers n peace out [20:22] how can I get my external hd and my flash drive to automount on Gutsy 7.10 please? [20:23] olskolirc, you need drivers [20:23] egoleo: sorry "sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm /etc/rc2.d/K30gdm" [20:23] hey, is there a legitimate reason i have 2 instances (2 versions) of python running simultaneously? [20:23] puplin: the settings Im chaing in the compiz manager dont seem to take [20:23] egoleo: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [20:23] what kind of driers Cann0n [20:23] hi [20:23] thnx [20:23] geirha: oh.. there's an easier way?! [20:23] olskolirc: Cann0n: Drives should automount by default when you plug them in. [20:24] Jack_Sparrow: the forum line says --> Just download the tar and untar it to your desktop or home folder. Then do the following command .. now i have the cube .. so i take it as that tar gz whatever has been already done ? [20:24] yes it loads when I plug it in PriceChild but I want it to automount when i bootup [20:24] zcat[1]: yeah, wasn't aware of it either untill someone in this channel mentioned it a few days ago [20:24] Wavesonics: you need to go to the compiz settings in appearance and set them on custom [20:24] hello youbuntu [20:24] !fstab | olskolirc [20:24] olskolirc: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:24] Can I tell Ubuntu not to perform automatic updates of a certain package? [20:24] PriceChild, yeah but if its not auto mounting, he will have to modprobe the usb drivers to mount a filesystem to enable him to browse a usb hd [20:24] !pin [20:24] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [20:25] i just got a recent security update for python 2.4 and 2.5... is there a reason for this? [20:25] xif: !pin was for you..

[20:26] Okay none of the documentation explains this. When setting up an ssh key and using ssh-add does one need to be on the "main session" of the server to allow it not to use a passphrase or password when authenticating itself with another server.

[20:29] Odd-rationale: Jack_Sparrow gave me some BIG command to type in terminal .. that gave me the sweet cube and super cool effects [20:30] bonsoir [20:30] Linux_Fresher, what are you trying to do? install something you downloaded? [20:30] Brandon_: key based authentication with ssh-agent or host based authentication [20:30] Brandon_, what I do is this have sshd running on the server -- on the local box that will be connecting to it ssh-keygen -t rsa (and other options if that is what you want) but anyway .. then you can add passwords -- then I scp id_rsa.pub to .ssh on other box as machine.name.source.pub and then when there I do this cat machine.name.source.pub >> authorized_keys as the user you want to log on as .. game over ssh -C box.that.you.want.to.log.ont [20:30] o.with.the.same.username (or ssh -C user@farbox) if you used a password earlier you need to remember it if not you just ssh no pass [20:30] Cann0n: trying to make fish swim on that cube .. its some plugin for the cube [20:30] hi, if i want to try out firefox 3 beta 4, is there anything i should do? perhaps backup my ~/.mozilla directory? [20:31] hmmm. out of my league. i go for performance instead of visual effects. [20:31] Linux_Fresher: Are you currently trying to follow the steps in that link I gave you? [20:31] Brandon_, sorry are you asking to run just a single command then a password anywhere would be silly if you wanted to be automagic [20:31] Odd-rationale: yup [20:31] Odd-rationale: got stuck at cd plugins .. it says no such file or directory coz there isnt one [20:32] Linux_Fresher: Log into the forum and download the plugins.tar.gz file at the bottom of the first post. Put that file on your desktop or something. [20:32] hi everyone.... i got quite a challenging problem on a 7.10 laptop having an intel gm965 graphics chip [20:32] Linux_Fresher, Last and final time I link these special addons to you http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 [20:32] Odd-rationale: kk [20:32] ompaul, yeah a single command. I already set up the keys. It seemsl ike the ssh-add stuff is session specific [20:32] ? [20:32] Brandon_, in the case you want to do something far end ssh -C user@farbox FooBar [20:32] Jack_Sparrow: FINE !! THANKS !! :P [20:32] Linux_Fresher: Now right-click the plugins.tar.gz file and select "Extract Here" [20:33] alright [20:33] so, I installed FireFox [20:33] I'm used to press backspace to go back [20:33] and?

I usually dont, and im sorry. [20:36] the intel problem is pretty hard to explain, but you can see it here: http://narishah.at/resolution.png (if you notice how the gnome panels are cut off too soon and the lower one is offset from the bottom) [20:36] Linux_Fresher, I dont do wine.. you are on your own.. [20:36] Brandon_, you need to access the server at some stage and even putty does that -- but I don't jknow how it does options [20:37] Jack_Sparrow: 0.o .. fine !! i will find out something else in ubuntu which needs your help mewhhahahahahaha [20:37] sorry for bothering you, but i tried google, changed settings in both xorg and gnome to no avail, and i feel a bit out of my depth here [20:37] Jack_Sparrow: though hard rum is always better than wine !! ever thought of being a sailor ? its 350$s a day ;) [20:38] hello [20:38] ompaul, okay I'm gonna log onto the main server and do the ssh-add.

[20:39] Linux_Fresher, if you are installing wine through the add/remove problems, once it installs, you most likely need to set up a vdrive for it.

[20:41] Jack_Sparrow: but how to find out if i am the root atm or i am not one ? though i know the password to put in everytime when i want to install something, i am not sure that till i enter the password i am the root [20:41] Brandon_, ssh -C me@target command [20:41] Brandon_: please don't get smart [20:41] i installed wine, uninstalled it, saw that wine was still in my menus, removed that as well. Now that i reinstalled wine, the original menus don't come back [20:41] Linux_Fresher: Type: whoami [20:42] Linux_Fresher, once you finish determining if you're all set up properly, install it using a command screen. cd to the path of the install file and type wine install.exe or what ever the setup program is named. [20:42] ompaul, that asks for a passphrase [20:42] Flare183, that was real question [20:42] whoami [20:42] Brandon_, you did not use keys which was what I explained in the first case [20:42] ubuntu@ubuntu-desktop:~$ whoami [20:42] ubuntu [20:42] what's happened to my wine menus in gnome panel?

[21:14] zcat[1]: didn't get it. do you mean that when you enter a location and press enter, the file dialog goes to that location? [21:14] geirha: are you here? [21:15] Viden: never done that myself yet.. but I'm sure there's someone here that knows how to do it [21:15] hon: the gnome browser one does, yes [21:15] [21:15] slart: bug was reported and fixed about 4 revisions ago .. thus my desire to update [21:15] Hanz, check out some configuration options in Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [21:15] How do I change the icon for an entire file type? [21:15] or create new file types? [21:15] Viden: or you could compile evolution yourself.. I don't know how complicated it is.. most stuff is pretty easy once you've got the dependencies fixed [21:15] is the a way to switch the fade on the menus off then? [21:15] hon: not sure about the file dialog in various programs.. not sure if that is a consistend thing or per-program [21:16] I've had a look and cant fine the option [21:16] Hanz: compizconfig-manager lets you control all the effects [21:16] slart: yeah compilng isnt a big deal for me, but the reqs are all next version ubuntu file that will probably hose 7.10 if i tryed to install them ... so i will just deal for now [21:16] Help! does anyone know what I can use to create a blog in ubuntu?

I can never remember [21:20] DeanGrobler: Blogging software is pretty limited in ubuntu. Some people like scribefire http://www.scribefire.com/ [21:20] kestir: eh. it's a matter of transcoding to put on a phone, not of replacing flac by mp3...

I'm wondering if it's easy to modify this code and re-install over the application I previously installed? [21:23] How do I create a new file type? [21:23] tritium: ubuntu 6.06.3 possible, with other last kernel ? 2.6.24 ? [21:23] ?? [21:23] kestir: looks good. thanks :-) [21:23] arooni: you need to be more specific. A lot of python stuff is already installed by default. [21:23] tritium, to code in python and to use the python imaging library [21:23] slipttees: I don't know. [21:24] hum [21:24] ok question i think is ok here are there any cool "non window type" games for linux without having to use wine. and that are "stable" or at least semi stable? [21:24] arooni: python is installed for you already. Just install the python-imaging package for the imaging library [21:25] RainbowOnyx: urban terror is pretty good [21:25] arooni, hint: apt-cache search python | grep imaging [21:25] it does not come up in my "add / remove" programs [21:25] arooni: that will list some packages you can look into installing. === ConstyXVI is now known as ConstyXIV [21:25] RainbowOnyx: unfortunately, no [21:26] so is it safe?

[21:27] Nexuis / alien arena / open arena are all on add/remove but I find them pretty tedious [21:27] kestir: apt-cache show [21:27] RainbowOnyx: Any program is actually very safe, its scripts you must watch out for :) [21:27] RainbowOnyx: all installable via apt-get / synaptic :) [21:27] frozen buble i have seen when i add all in add / remove but that semi flash gamy [21:27] hey new at this,how do i get root access so i can save a test.php file in var/ww dir?

[21:31] backtracker, i was afk. i never use apt-get or anything along those lines. i always download via web browser [21:31] Alan_M: all the games discussion [21:31] zcat, you werent though, surprisingly. [21:31] all non support stuff [21:32] and discussion is offtopic [21:32] Cann0n: through packages.ubuntu.com? [21:32] Cann0n: why do you do that?

[21:32] I have everything i need for AWN, but now I can't actually find the AWN download [21:33] Cann0n: not use apt-get, and instead download through your browser.

[21:33] Ayabara, ^^ [21:34] Cann0n: correct [21:34] Cann0n, the easier way to install materials on ubuntu is to use apt-get or synaptic - [21:34] Cann0n; i have never used a browser for updates to ubuntu.. apt-get or aptitude [21:34] anyone? [21:34] hello someone can call with skype to luca_blln75? [21:34] why is it that new files in ubuntu are not created with the permissions i have set in umask. [21:34] i did try a fps the other day and it worked great but when "time" in zone ended it minimised and frozen my system i could no get anything to free it up === aleksandar is now known as novica [21:35] was a quake "port thing [21:35] ompaul, there are many ways to download things in linux... [21:35] at least add /remove said so lo [21:35] xb3rt you check that out yet? [21:35] bastid_raZor, im not talking about updating ubuntu [21:35] Cann0n: to use the browser doesn't take advantage of apt-get/aptitude/synaptic's dependency handling, etc. === mick_home__ is now known as mick_home [21:35] someone thought i told them to install apache via get-apt, when i didnt tell them that. [21:36] let me know when you can install urban terror, padman, stepmania, alice, scratch .. via apt [21:36] Cann0n; well for that matter.. installing any app in ubuntu [21:36] what program should I use in hardy to transfer music to my iPod? [21:36] Cann0n: apache *should* be installed via apt-get [21:36] * Alan_M looks around [21:36] jordioriol amarok [21:36] it's for KDE but works under GNOME aswell [21:36] Sjimmie, thanks [21:36] tritium, not if you want to compile it yourself. ubuntu isn't the only version of linux. [21:36] For gnome to tale into account settings you must create in your home directory a file called ".gnomerc" and put the umask command in it. [21:36] Of course you can also use any other shell command. [21:36] Nautilus, etc... will now use the new value (after re-login of course) [21:36] is this true [21:37] hello [21:37] alternatively -> gtkpod [21:37] java help please [21:37] ya'll leave me alone. i dont use get-apt to install things... may things aren't on get-apt. [21:37] Cann0n: I never said it was. There are source packages as well, that are also apt-gettable [21:37] hello everyone [21:37] no luck with wine far cry [21:37] tritium, and that is what i mean. source packs. you know make, make install... ./configure. i dont use get-apt to download those [21:38] Cann0n: no, I'm suggesting: apt-get source apache2, for example [21:38] Cann0n: as a general rule, it's a good idea to do as much as possible via apt, that keeps dependencies and future updates all sorted out for you.. [21:38] in windows i used xillo soft dvd ripper to back my movies up it was an all in one thing ....1 click done thing....is there something link that for linux beause i have used dvd::ripbut it is rather confusing and does not give me at least from what i can see options for the divx codec [21:38] hey guys, quick question... when i am in nautilus and play mp3s from a directory individually, it eventually locks up and tells me i have too many files open. but even if i close each file when i am done playing the song, it still happens.. any way around this? [21:38] How can i set my screen resolution to 1400 * 900. Its not in the options on the System -> Preferences bit [21:38] RainbowOnyx: k9copy !! [21:38] tritium, and i was suggesting to the person who asked about apache to check out #apache or goign to the website and do things their way.

That's what they're for. [21:39] Cann0n: I suggest reading about with what was in mind when ubuntu was created [21:39] evel vlc can rip and transcode dvd's .. but that's a bit trickier [21:39] *even [21:39] I've tried that ompaul [21:39] Cann0n, you don't need to - if you are that level then looking for help in this channel is not really on your agenda ;-) and we don't support those methods [21:39] is it possible to password protect a external drive [21:39] ? [21:39] Cann0n: I think you might be happier in gentoo or slackware :) [21:40] Gary_inNYC: i have it installed into my system menu now, but when I click the manager to load it, nothing happens [21:40] zcat[1], im from 6 years experience in slackware === u^A is now known as u^A_ [21:40] Cann0n: ubuntu uses repositories to store packages they have tested and approve of...to install only those stable packages ubuntu has their stamp of approval on, you use apt-get [21:40] VLC? [21:40] how can i see wich gtk i use? [21:40] im not a linux noob. each user has their own way of doing things. i dont like people dogging me cuz i PREFER NOT to use get-apt [21:40] cause vlc is my fav player [21:40] Cann0n: ubuntu is not slackware .. [21:40] even in windows [21:40] anyone now why my java would not work [21:40] ? [21:40] Do you need to be able to use this on windows [21:40] !java [21:40] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [21:40] Cann0n: then you should understand how different ditros use packages and how they manage them [21:40] xb3rt: go to applications, accessories, avant window navigator [21:40] GrantMynott; possibly try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select that resolution when that option comes around.. normally though if it isn't listed already your monitor or video don't support it [21:40] Cann0n: that's fine, but please don't tell othere here to _not_ use the repositories. [21:40] solar_george, no going to be used from ubuntu & mythtv only [21:40] kestir, debian packages are supported in ubuntu why? [21:41] xb3rt, the manager is the "preferences" for AWN [21:41] Gary_inNYC how do i get rid of the windows looking window bar [21:41] Cann0n, they are not [21:41] Cann0n: wrong [21:41] Cann0n, the abi may be broken [21:41] tritium, i was correcting him. he said I told him to do it. i told him to go to apache chat or website for apache help. [21:41] Cann0n: coincidence .. ubuntu doesn't aim to be binary-compatable with debian but sometimes it just is [21:41] you could try encfs that encrypts a directory [21:41] ompaul: I smell a troll [21:41] i know a ditros is a "release" i guess of linux but what does the name mean? anything cool? [21:41] Cann0n, please drop the subject [21:41] kestir: +1 [21:41] xb3rt, i take it you want to get rid of the gnome taskbar on the bottom am i correct? [21:42] me drop the subject, read up ompaul i asked ya'll to leave me along 3 scrolls up [21:42] How do I change the icon of a whole file type? [21:42] Gary yes [21:42] i do things my way, you do yours. [21:42] xb3rt, right click the bar at the bottom, and hit delete panel [21:42] can someone help or point me in the right direction for configuring bugzilla with ubuntu 7.10? [21:42] solar_george, but how would that work in mythtv? [21:42] Cann0n: you're missing the point. For support purposes, we don't tell people to go compile apache themselves. We tell them to use the packages in the repositories. [21:42] Gary: you the man :) [21:42] how do i install xmms on ubuntu? [21:43] np, glad to help [21:43] Futher, there is no nick "ya'all" in this channel. [21:43] tritium, i didnt tell him to compile his own. i told him to go to #apache or check out the website for configuration support. [21:43] ah you would have to mount the encfs from a command line then access a directory [21:43] What is the best way to send a large file, 300 MB, between two computers over the internet? I'd like to do it via a chat program, or something simple like that. [21:43] achandrashekar: go to add/remove programs, find xmms, tick the box, clock ok/apply (whatever) and wait [21:43] *click [21:43] !best way | gregbrady [21:43] Factoid best way not found [21:43] OR if you wanted to get real technical, dont use ubuntu-desktop for a server... install Ubuntu-Server [21:44] gregbrady; scp would work if both have ssh installed.. [21:44] xmms i found in the add / remove option [21:44] gregbrady: I'd use scp.. ymmv [21:44] don't know if mythtv can do anything like that from the front end [21:44] anyone now why my java would not work [21:44] Cann0n, fyi, it's "apt-get". and please don't use packages from unverified sources when there are supported packages in the repositories. [21:45] One machine is pclos, the other ubuntu....will scp still work on both? [21:45] hiya all anyone use puredata in here? [21:45] gregbrady: you could also install apache2, drop the file in /var/www and the other person can download it with firefox [21:45] i wish that steamtuner edited commercials and what not [21:45] gregbrady; just make sure both have openssh installed.. then you're good to go [21:45] hello all, I am in some deep crap and would really appreicate some help, are there any ext3 filesystem experts around? I have a copy gone wrong that has left me without the source files, but the free space on the drive hasn't changed and I need to recover the data [21:45] oh...is this a channel that its ok to make comment? ot is this a 100% q&a? [21:45] gregbrady: PClos will have ssh .. one of the machines needs sshd .. in ubuntu apt-get install ssh will give you the server (sshd) [21:46] #ubuntu-mobile [21:46] !ot tsmithe [21:46] Factoid ot tsmithe not found [21:46] 100+% q/a [21:46] is umask supposed to control the permissions of new files or not [21:46] ok ty [21:46] zcat[1], thanks, let me check that out. [21:46] how can i update Xorg? [21:46] Cann0n, ehh please drop it - and ANYONE ELSE who considers commenting to Cann0n please drop it also [21:46] Question: I am trying to ssh into a computer running ubuntu 7.10 from a computer running windows xp, I have openssh-server installed on the ubuntu computer and I am using putty on windows, I put in the ip address of the ubuntu computer and I get a network error from putty. Do I have to configure openssh-server at all? what is going wrong? [21:46] RainbowOnyx; feel free to express yourself in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:47] Cit, ext3 deletes file handles, so you'll have a hard time, unless you can remember the location on disk of the files. alternatively, you can dump a disc image and grep through it [21:47] thank you bastid_raZor [21:47] norty; you'll need putty to do that from the windows side [21:47] yeah i told ya'll to leave me alone. take it to off-topic if you want to keep bashing me. [21:47] I'm trying to do this maybe someone here knows of a way. I have a 160gb usb drive currently its ext3 partitioned. I want to make this drive require a password before i will be mounted onto a system (does not need to be readable on windows) [21:47] tsmithe: location as in path? yes, I can remeber that...

[21:47] is umask supposed to control the permissions of new files or not [21:48] norty: can you ping the linux box from windows? can you "ssh localhost" and connect to the linux box from the linux box? [21:48] hi, I'm trying to get onto ubuntu mobile (installed the packages) but it doesn't seem to work [21:48] anyone now why my java would not work [21:48] Can anyone here help me with bugzilla configuration, or point me to the proper resource?? [21:48] can someone help me with that ? [21:48] hi how can i update XORG? [21:48] norty; some isp's block port 22 and 23.. possibly that is the case? [21:48] Sl4y3r did you install java from the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" metapackage? [21:48] gregbrady: man scp .. typically just like cp except one of the filenames is in the form user@host:/path/filename [21:48] norty; are you behind a router on either machine? [21:48] yes [21:49] yes im behind a router on both [21:49] tried that and manually installing [21:49] bastid_raZor, yes both are behind a router [21:49] zcat[1], sorry you lost me totally.....I'm a simple person.... [21:49] norty: did you forward port 22 "pinhole" through the router [21:49] i try and change permission to a user from meny admin user settings but cant find Executing system administration tasks [21:49] Cit, no, as in a sector on disc. i read a blog article about it the other day, but i've lost the link [21:49] which version of Java are you running? [21:49] bastid_raZor, I can access the ubuntu computer through another computer connected to the network, would i still need to forward the port if this is the case? [21:50] i mean the Java Runtime that is [21:50] when I powered up normally I get grub 'error18' I am booting from a live CD at the moment [21:50] 6.0 [21:50] zcat: i also tryied !sudo but it only restarted apache, how come? [21:50] has anyone here go any experience with ubuntu mobile ??? [21:50] i believe [21:50] tsmithe: it was 160GB of data ... [21:50] erm, Cit, alternatively, are any files open that still have reference to the lost files? [21:50] norty; what is the error putty gives you? [21:50] Cit, :s === JohnRobert__ is now known as JohnRobert [21:50] afkbrb [21:50] bastid_raZor, It just says Network error [21:50] tsmithe: no, it was a vmware image of an sbs box, with the vm powered down [21:51] bastid_raZor, Network error: connectiong refused [21:51] is umask supposed to control the permissions of new files or not [21:51] in firefox, did you check that both Java & Javascript are enabled? [21:51] tsmithe: although VMware is still open but obviously it can't launch the machine [21:51] norty; are they all on a LAN or outside of the network? [21:51] is there any free software like adobe flash ???????????????????????? [21:51] bastid_raZor, the one I need to get working is outside the network [21:51] how do i do so i can get permission to save file [21:51] how can I reboot and tell fsck to do an unattended check? (remote machine) [21:51] how can i update Xorg? [21:51] Cit, how did you lose the file? (i'm not sure about the force-fsck. i think you create a /forcefsck file, but i'm not sure) [21:52] Sl4y3r, for me I got java and various plugins and codecs running from the restricted extras metapackage, although performance in certain pages like break.com is spotty [21:52] ghetto[kernel]: How do you mean? [21:52] zcat[1], no worries, I'll use a dvd and sneakernet. [21:52] norty; the ubuntu computer is outside the network and has been connected to by another box?

[21:53] ok thanks [21:53] Oh, ok, just going through basics because i didnt know where you started :) [21:53] well issam's negative behavior got him noticed and got his answer [21:53] norty; possibly your school is blocking port 22.. i know my isp blocks 22 so i have to forward 22 to another port. [21:53] issam: There is also a linux version of Adobe Flash [21:53] how can i make dd read from a file and write it to the end of another file? [21:54] Achoth, xorg dont recognize my monitor so i want to update it to see if in the new release they added it [21:54] ANyone have any input on what runs better on Kubuntu/Ubuntu of either VM Ware or Virtual Box? I need to install one of them on a server [21:54] the only problem with gnash is it still is very buggy [21:54] Y-Town, i have no problems with Virtualnox [21:54] box* [21:54] Y-Town: VMWare is the better software, imo [21:54] in key mapping, there is "Key" and "Button" what is button? [21:54] seconded on the gnash bugosity [21:54] Y-Town i've had decent results with Virtualbox [21:54] and how do i set it? [21:54] as you can see, it's a matter of prefernce [21:55] :o) [21:55] thanks !!! [21:55] I tried gnash once.. couldn't do even the most simple flash stuff with it, went back to adobe flash.. perhaps in a year it will be useable, but not yet.. [21:55] kestir: very much so [21:55] zcat, its semi-usable now if you do the fix from the ubuntu forums. [21:55] i try and type in terminal sudo adduser $user admin to get permission to save file test.php in www dir but it says im already member of admin, why cant i save the file [21:55] so there is no easy way to share large files over the net then.....just an assumption here. [21:56] gregbrady, how large are you meaning? [21:56] anyone can help? [21:56] Alan_M: my kids play on gaia and stuff, it has to be really good or they'll whine at me. [21:56] kestir: would yopu say VM Ware is stable to run 24/7 for a critical business application? [21:56] adobe flash as in a wine thing or does macro...err adobe have a linux version? [21:56] alan_m 300-400 MB [21:56] zcat : it doesnt work:( [21:56] adobe make a linux version of flash [21:56] wow..um..gregbrady im not sure then bud [21:56] how can I see a java applet in a web page in Ubunt u 64 bits? [21:56] norty; possibly change the port in your windows(school box) to port 2222 and forward 2222 to 22 in your router. [21:57] alan_m, today that is not big [21:57] sureshot: are you using the editor with sudo? [21:57] How can I force a webpage to ask for a password before any access in apache2? I've tried .htaccess and generated a .htpasswd file, still no luck. [21:57] Y-Town: yes, i use it in a production environment daily [21:57] bastid_raZor, how do I forward port 2222 to 22 in my router? [21:57] nice thank you [21:57] greetings [21:57] sureshot: holding three conversations here.. what doesn't work? [21:57] kestir: thanks [21:57] norty; that would get around the blockage if your school is blocking port 22.. which i would think they are. [21:57] tsmithe: I don't nknow why it's missing, I did a cp -r , got errors from the destination, then the files disappeared from the source (I know it shouldn't do anything but it bloody well has!) [21:57] bastid_raZor, I can open ports in my router, i dont know how to forward though [21:57] an odd thing about Virtualbox is that in fullscreen mode, it doesn't (stretch) to fill up the screen. [21:57] norty; what type of router do you have? [21:57] Starnes: how do you mean using the editor with sudo? [21:57] quit [21:58] sureshot: what command are you running to edit that file? [21:58] bastid_raZor: most schools forward www through a proxy (and dansdguardian) and block everything else.. [21:58] Y-Town: lots of people are moving to virtualization of servers now instead of physical machines [21:58] bastid_raZor, linksys wireless-G [21:58] when will the cacti package be updated to 0.8.6k from 0.8.6.j to deal with the latest vulnerability? === qmario_ is now known as QMario [21:58] is umask supposed to control the permissions of new files or not [21:58] Y-Town: so it's very much a dependable solution [21:58] s/most/at least some [21:58] another thing that bothered me about Virtualbox was that usb devices like my Zen Vision M behaved awkwardly since the usb bus was being shared by the host and virtual system [21:59] kestir: nice to hear. I have a customer database management software I use for my business that is Microshaft dependant [21:59] norty; model #? [21:59] starnes: im new to this, i just tried to save it into www directory and it said i didnt have permission [21:59] I cant bind keys in CCSM :( im retarded [21:59] starnees: then in terminal i wrote sudo adduser $user admin [21:59] Y-Town: shouldn't be a problem. For example, I have a centos machine running vmware with an ms server 2003 machine running [21:59] sureshot: sudo nano /var/www/test.php might help [21:59] is there anyway to make it so anything I activate in the desktop menu is run as root? [21:59] single user mode I think it's called [22:00] is umask supposed to control the permissions of new files or not [22:00] stevendemorez: that would not be wise [22:00] sureshot: try running "gksudo nautilus &" then try again with the nautilus window that opens [22:00] quaal: I thought so.. is it not working? [22:00] zcat[1]; true.. in which case not much can get out unless you find a port open.. which if the IT is good you won't [22:00] Y-Town: on which nearly all of my client's mission critical stuff is running [22:00] do you know any software to call for free ??? [22:00] zcat[1], no it doesnt seem to be working. i have umask 0002 when files are created with 644 permissions. they should be 775 [22:00] zcat: cant i get permissions to do all things with that account? [22:00] >tritium could you tell me how to edit my menu so it runs particular programs as root? [22:01] I just need one to do so so I can receive the hid data from objects [22:01] stevendemorez: no, I'd not advise that [22:01] Y-Town: so...have no fear, you can trust it fully === Charitwo is now known as kirby [22:01] sureshot: more or less.. [22:01] kestir: is it possible to do remote login to the system running within vm ware? [22:01] Y-Town: yes...what I do is install Logmein on the ms machine [22:02] kestir: Perfect... thats how I do it now :o) [22:02] Y-Town: yep...then just putty to the linux side if you need to [22:02] anyone else with an easy way to transport a 300 MB file between two Linux machines over the net? [22:02] gregbrady: scp? [22:02] gregbrady: rsync [22:02] sureshot: didn't see if somebody responded, but is admin supposed to be the group? options need to come before username [22:03] i am trying to figure out why my printer does not have a envelope 10 option when i change the print settings from letter to something else i need to print a envelope 10 envelope?? [22:03] hey all [22:03] bastid_raZor: I saw once a technique to tunnel IP through DNS requests .. not very efficient, but very good at getting around firewalls :) [22:03] kestir: thanks bud :o) [22:03] >tritium aside from the inherent risk of me mangling my machine by say deleting something or editing my xorg improper what are the risks [22:03] Y-Town: No problem at all man [22:03] hello [22:03] hi what's the commandline to run a gnome program with sudo credentials, like kdesu does in kde??????? [22:03] Starnestommy: I have no idea how to use scp....it has to be simple on both the sending and receiving ends.... [22:03] How do i make it so i can create dirs through the UI in ubuntu 7.10 do i need to change all the dirs owners from root to my username ? [22:03] crackhead25: gksudo [22:03] how do i install new hardware? is there a gui for auto detect and such [22:03] could someone please tell me what the function of umask is? i thought it changed the permissions of newly created files. this does not seem to be the case. my umask is 0002. this means that new files should have 775 permissions. but when i touch a file it has 664. when i unrar files they have 644. what is the deal [22:03] gregbrady; you don't like the scp idea? [22:04] gregbrady: scp is simple [22:04] crackhead25: gksudo [22:04] gregbrady: scp file remote.machine.ip [22:04] gregbrady; you can't get anymore simple than scp === tony_ is now known as qwizzard [22:04] I want to be able to like edit files in /usr/lib dirs [22:04] Gary_inNYC: why does adept not work in ubuntu? [22:04] what is the ismilar program? [22:04] kestir: you left off : [22:04] ok, let me try! [22:04] crackhead25: synaptic? [22:04] zcat[1]: oh right! :) [22:04] crackhead25: does synaptic work? [22:04] zcat: i tried both in adminstrative meny to check Executing system administration tasks but it wasnt there to find and terminal said that my user already was a part of member [22:04] but, what if the remote is behind a firewall? [22:05] And I'm behind a router/firewall? [22:05] gregbrady: if you have a login with the same name on the remove machine, scp file_here ip.add.re.ss: [22:05] elnetd: All network ports in use. <- any idea how to fix? [22:05] that's telnetd* [22:05] jourdan, what option do you mean? [22:05] gregbrady; for example you are in the directory of the file you want to send .. scp filename(300megsbig) username@hostIP:~/ .. that will put it in the usernames home directory [22:06] gregbrady: ahh, if you're both behine firewalls or NAT, you are going to need to pinhole on end or the other.... or find a file storage site you can use [22:06] when I try to switch users on feisty 7.04, my screen goes black and I have to restart the computer manually. I can only switch users by log out, then logging in as a different user. Anybody know what's wrong with the switch user option? [22:06] zcat[1], ok, then it is too complicated for a schmo like me then. [22:06] gregbrady: mailing a CD is pretty reliable :) [22:06] could someone please tell me what the function of umask is? i thought it changed the permissions of newly created files. this does not seem to be the case. my umask is 0002. this means that new files should have 775 permissions. but when i touch a file it has 664. when i unrar files they have 644. what is the deal [22:07] zcat[1]; heh,that is funny [22:07] sureshot: you typed "adduser $user admin" iirc, if you wanted to add a user to the admin group you would put that in with a flag before the username, unless i'm misunderstanding what you were asking [22:07] zcat[1], yeah, I'm getting that idea now..... [22:07] funny, perhaps. Practical, absolutely. [22:07] anybody know a program for gutsy that one should use to import cellphone contacts via bluetooth (from a cellphone with bluetooth)???? [22:07] gregbrady: just upload it to some filestorage website [22:07] zcat[1] I'm not sure about the funny part though.... [22:08] do you know any software to call for free ??? [22:08] also, someone used the "sudo chown -R [username]. *" and "sudo chown -R [username]. ." on the home folder, but inadvertently locked me out of my account. How can I undo this command and get back to my account? [22:08] you could both get on irc and dcc it I think .. even with both behind firewalls? [22:08] kestir, I thought it would be easier tody.....not a problem though [22:08] Bax; you'll need to be able to use sudo [22:08] crackhead25: yeah, use Bitpim [22:09] oops i may be mistaken [22:09] Bax: sudo chown -R username * and sudo chown -R username . [22:09] does dcc woth if both users are behind NAT? [22:09] *work [22:09] bastid_raZor: I can use sudo for now [22:09] Gary_inNYC: confused about bitpim????? [22:09] Bax; do Starnestommy's fix.. that will give you permissions back === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude|overhere [22:10] Hey, anyone able to help me with a problem im having with tilda? I currently use Devilspie to run a terminal on my desktop, but when i open tilde, it goes behind it === ZarroBoogs is now known as Pici [22:10] Starnestommy and bastid_raZor: the same command but without "."? or you're suggesting I use my own user name this time? [22:10] crackhead25: i can only tell you things from personal experience. i connect my phone through a serial-usb adapter [22:10] not sure about bluetooth sry [22:10] Bax: with your own user name [22:10] Bax; heh.. if you want ownership use your username [22:11] Anybody have recommendation for a good Gutsy program to use via bluetooth to import my contacts from a simple motorola bluetooth-enabled cellphone???? [22:11] jourdan; oki you mean by flag, the $ before my username? [22:11] Starnestommy and bastid_raZor: will the home user still be able to log on? [22:11] Bax: if you do this correctly, it should be able to log on [22:12] quaal: umask 0002 subtracted from default perms of host dir of 6666 gives 6664 if default perm there is 7777 then would be 7775 as you expected [22:12] ps3gen.fr [22:12] oups [22:12] Starnestommy: but both users, me and the home user, will still be able to log on right? Also, can this command be reversed? [22:12] genii, hmm. so umask doesnt make the new files 775 no matter what? [22:12] I tried to setup a VNC once.....holy cow, what a nightmare.....just no easy solutions. [22:12] youtube video will not play in gusty [22:13] brb testing some session changes [22:13] Bax: it should, and yes [22:13] genii, this doesnt make sense to me. how do i set it so that all files have 775 permissions? [22:13] cant play streaming audio or video in gusty === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [22:13] Starnestommy: what's the reverse command? [22:13] quaal: No, umask is subtracted from permissions of directory they are made in. If you want 775 then chmod 7777 the host directory [22:14] I do not have a #10 envelope option for my printer [22:14] Bax; i think i see what you're saying.. home itself isn't the problem then.. your username inside home is.. [22:14] Bax: I'm not sure, but it can be undone if you know what it was previously set to [22:14] Starnestommy: the person you mean? the username used? [22:14] I just unpacked a new login splash screen, but where do I go to unpack it at [22:15] bastid_raZor: yep [22:15] genii, but i dont want the host directory to have 7777 [22:15] i mean where do i go to install it [22:16] xb3rt system - preferences- login window - local [22:16] man nothings working [22:16] Bax; then just change your username directory.. if Bax is your username then just change permissions and ownership of that directory.. [22:16] quaal: Then umask is not the proper method to do what you require in this case. Perhaps hard set the directory to 750 or so and make ppl who can write there in the group which it belongs to (unless root or so) [22:17] Bax; my home is owned by root my username(my user account) is owned by me [22:17] how do i install new hardware on an Ubuntu OS [22:17] i tried sudo nano /var/www/test.php how do i get commands to work below the ^X wont work [22:18] cant play streaming audio or video in gusty [22:18] lilg111111_, its gutsy. [22:18] tsmithe: thanks [22:18] quaal, yes [22:19] sureshot: i may just not understand what you are trying to do. Are you just trying to add a new user? [22:19] and give more info than that. [22:19] ok, so the final verdict is no easy way and sneakernet is the best. [22:19] Starnestommy and bastid_raZor: it seems the directory that each username is fighting over is .dmre. Could I just say "sudo chown -R username .dmre" instead of *? [22:19] penti [22:19] Bax: try that [22:19] gregbrady; i transfer about 2 gig a week via scp.. it is beyond simple [22:20] quaal, i am running gusty and i have just about every codec i could find installed [22:20] bastid_raZor, not behind firewalls. [22:20] GUTSY [22:20] gregbrady; i've port forwarded my way out.. and yes i transfer from DC to kentucky nearly every day [22:21] bastid_raZor, remember I said easy....for the average user. === Gary is now known as GazzaK [22:21] Hello everybody! What's happen? I'm using Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine; Sometimes it lost the setup values, and I need to turn off the guest Operating System, restart the host system and turn on the guest Operating System again, in order to have the setup values working... What's happen?? [22:21] jourdan: i just installed unbutu and want to set up apache and mysql to get a webserver to run and i tried with texteditor to save a php-file to www directory but it said i dont have permission,so how do i get permission? [22:22] mplayer -rootwin plays 'behind' gnome's wallpaper or background color. Is there any way I can set a video as my desktop? [22:22] gregbrady; i guess i'm an advanced user since i know how to port forward and scp.. i'm not trying to be smart.. just knowing simple networking and beginner *nix commands [22:23] there's a website 'portforward.com' or something that explains how to forward ports for just about every router made.. [22:23] genii, this is the problem. umask has successfully changed the settings for new created folders. they have 775 permissions. the files within these 775 folders are not correct. they have 644 instead. [22:23] bastid_raZor, no problem.....I'm afraid that I cannot explain to my wife, or myself,how to do that. [22:23] ;o [22:23] genii, is there a special umask for new created files? [22:23] gregbrady; now you're being funny.. my wife is /still/ mad at me for getting rid of her precious windows [22:24] bastid_raZor, we are two computer users, not administrators....simple.... [22:24] bastid_raZor, so is my son! [22:24] got a bunch of jpg to join in a pdf. how to do it the easiest way? [22:24] gregbrady; i soothed her by installing vmware and giving her a little bit of M$ with no internet access [22:24] quaal: Use fmask for files [22:25] genii, so i dont think it makes sense that umask subtracts from the permissions of the parent directory. my parent dirs are 775 and the files are being made 644. umask 0002 [22:25] bastid_raZor: my wife is used to ubuntu now and hates windows (and she hasn't even seen vista yet :) [22:25] bastid_raZor, I've managed to use native Linux ware to solve all problems! Even accounting and website editing! [22:25] gregbrady; in the long run Ubuntu will amaze you.. i do more now than i ever imagined.. there is little learning to be done but it is well worth it [22:25] zcat[1], min as well! [22:26] genii, -bash: fmask: command not found [22:26] bastid_raZor, yup.....we are all happy! We even prefer Gnome over KDE [22:26] Whats the best media player for linux [22:26] !offtopic [22:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[22:27] great it worked now [22:27] funny part is she does all her email through google and mostly just does stuff on the web, so windows shouldn't make that much difference anyhow.. :) [22:27] hi, i was wondering if anyone here has any experience dealing with configuring ppp servers, for dial up access to a linux server [22:27] hey all anyone know what this means ? sudo: must be setuid root [22:27] where'd you get it? [22:27] gregbrady; i know this guide isn't supported here.. just double check against the community forums to be sure you're doing it correct.. : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [22:27] zcat[1], exactly! most people don't realize that everything they do is os independant [22:27] or how? [22:28] quaal: manpage for mount has some info on it. Apparently mask of the process you use plays a role. [22:28] sureshot: ah i see. You need to run it either as root, or with sudo. If you are using a command line editor like vi you would do sudo vi [22:28] jourdan, what does the vi mean? [22:28] Ummm.. that error sounds like it's complaining that sudo itself is not setuid root.. [22:28] mrpockets: no idea. just the sound of the editor [22:28] What's with all these emacs haters? I love the program. Vim is so masochistic. You can insert and edit at the same time. It's bloody brilliant! [22:28] ceej, are you trying to sudo from a user account without admin rights? [22:29] *name not sound [22:30] bastid_raZor, I'm not sure what you are trying to show me with that link [22:30] jourdan: im not to home with those command as you can see:) i wrote sudo gedit the /var/www/test.php and it worked [22:30] -the [22:30] gregbrady; it is a how-to guide for gutsy.. [22:31] bastid_raZor, yes, but it does not address large file transfers..... [22:32] sureshot, That should work :) [22:32] gregbrady; in that guide it suggests filezilla .. which i still suggest scp. [22:32] anybody know how to make irssi not show joins/quits? [22:33] I'd suggest gksudo if you're running a GUI editor but otherwise that should work [22:33] does anybody know "linux-DVT" [22:33] bastid_raZor, yes but I still cannot figure out how to use scp. [22:33] jourdan: I think /ignore #ubuntu joins quits parts [22:34] gregbrady; try to read the man pages : man scp .. and what is stopping you from using scp? are you not getting out of your network to the other? what are the errors you're getting when you actually try to use scp? [22:35] hello! [22:35] bastid_raZor: both ends are behind NAT and he doesn't know how to forward ports... [22:35] Even though I am mounting it with sudo mount -w /dev/sdk2 /media/ipod, gtkpod still can't write to my ipod, and therefore cannot create the ipod file structure... has anyone ran into this problem before?

[22:38] gregbrady: ok, first step go to portforward.com and find out how to configure your router to forward port 22 to the linux box. [22:38] jourdan: in case you decide to turn them back on, /unignore #ubuntu [22:38] right [22:38] gregbrady: the far end is running windows? [22:38] channel this big, gets to be too much [22:38] zcat[1] pretty much [22:39] Wavesonics_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [22:39] hi, can someone help me using a usb cardbus, it uses a via chipset, I can use a mouse with it, but not a usb memory stick [22:39] cool.. there's a nice windows program called 'winSCP that will make this easier! [22:39] Anyone knows what file replaces libmotif3? [22:39] Wavesonics_: or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI if you decide to switch to binary [22:39] zcat[1] cool, I'll check that out [22:40] quaal, im back [22:40] gregbrady: but you still need to figure out port forwarding aka 'pinholing' your router to open port 22 up. [22:40] usb cardbus (pcmcia), detected as hub, but memory sticks don't work on it /dev/sd** isn't made [22:40] compbrain: checking it out, but u wanna some something weird?

[22:40] lilg111111, congratulations [22:40] hello [22:41] i have one issue with mythubuntu [22:41] zcat[1] so why would you suggest something in Windows that is as easy as Linux......I would prefer to stay in Linux! [22:41] hi guys, why would one use the source repos vs regular ones? [22:41] i have a problem [22:41] i am using mplayer to see xvid movies on mythtv [22:41] but when i hit 'esc' key it exits mplayer and mythtv ?!?!?!? [22:41] where does ubuntu put it's libjvm.so from Suns Java? [22:41] gregbrady: the far end is running linux or windows? [22:41] gregbrady; the site zcat[1] suggested earlier portforward.com will tell you how to forward for your routers on both ends .. you'll need to have someone on the windows side do port forwarding too if they are behind a router as well [22:41] (anyone mind doing find / -name libjvm.so for me?) [22:41] RabidLockerGnome, enable the repos in the source list that have src in the line [22:42] Jack_Sparrow, WHY would I do that is what im asking, whats the benefit [22:42] can someone tell me why i do not have the print size for option 10 envelope i am confused [22:42] bastid_raZor: not at all, they can just use winscp from the windows end, drag and drop the file.. [22:42] bastid_raZor: only one end needs to figure out port forwarding [22:42] zcat[1]; winscp forwards itself? [22:42] zcat[1], I've spent all this time and effort on switching my family over to Linux, why would I change back? I'm not sure I understand here..... [22:43] RabidLockerGnome, NO beneift... Unless you want to edit or compil;e things yourself [22:43] gregbrady: are both ends running linux? [22:43] gregbrady; you said the remote computer was runnign windows? or were you confused on that question? [22:43] channel: anyone know something easy and GUI like winscp for linux? [22:43] hi [22:43] zcat[1], as stated......one is pclinuxos and one is ubuntu. I never said windows [22:43] k thx [22:43] help me [22:43] !aptfix [22:43] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [22:43] gregbrady: ok, confused with another conversation sorry [22:44] unless I made a mistake [22:44] cant play streaming audio or video in gusty, i have codecs installed [22:44] i do not have a #10 option envelope print size for my printer [22:44] gregbrady; filezilla has a decent GUI .. [22:44] Riis what are u looking for with the find cmd ? [22:44] sorry, thinking of guy who wanted to conect from windows at his school I think [22:44] lilg111111: have you tried vlc? [22:44] i need to say friends [22:44] I need someone familiar with conky to correct a set of lines for me [22:44] bastid_raZor: filezilla can do scp? [22:44] gregbrady; it walks you thu the set up. [22:45] i am live in brasil peoples [22:45] bastid_raZor, I just thought there was an easier, Linux based way. [22:45] zcat[1]; filezilla can transfer files.. that is what he wants to do. since both are nix boxes.. [22:45] Hello :) [22:45] you can use nautilus i think [22:45] benedito: try #ubuntu-br [22:45] zcat[1]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47350 [22:46] bastid_raZor: just that ftp is more complex than scp.. passive vs active mode, etc.. [22:46] gregbrady; honestly.. you keep asking for an easier way.. scp is the easiest. filezilla one GUI way for linux [22:46] I have a problem in installing ubuntu on an optiplex 320 (dell) [22:46] aryr100: where the Sun java libjvm.so file is installed [22:46] it makes an error like "pci cannot alocate" [22:46] Does anyone know if there's a way to request Backports other than Launchpad? [22:46] zcat[1]; he isn't going to try scp so what not a GUI based app.. [22:46] aryr100: I don't have an ubuntu box to search on myself [22:46] can all normal pc users use Ubuntu as main os (not dual boot)?? [22:46] Riis: in a terminal, run locate libjvm.so [22:46] I have to type pci=nomsi acpi=off, do you know why? [22:46] bastid_raZor, ok, thanks for the help! I see the options now...! [22:47] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1. [22:47] can someone help me install the GStreamer plugins required to play mp3's === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [22:47] any one knows?? [22:47] ç [22:47] Starnestommy: like I said, I don't have an ubuntu box [22:47] SNuxoll: tell me about it.... [22:47] Kud, at start or install screen, press F6 and remove splash and quiet, if that does not work do it again but now also add noapic acpi=off before the -- on the command line [22:47] gtkpod is having trouble writing things to my ipod. I have the ipod mounted with read/write access though... any ideas? [22:48] aryr100: can you get me the complete path to the client version of the .so file? [22:48] Riis did u see the post ? [22:48] gregbrady: at some point, no matter what program you use under what OS, you _are_ going to have to forward at least one port on at least one end to get a connection between the two machines. [22:48] yeah I tried acpi=off and pci=nomsi, it works [22:48] zod_: how do you mean? [22:48] so as an 22 old normal pc user, can i use ubuntu as main os with out dual boot?? [22:48] okay, so does anyone know how to solve the issue with icedtea on amd64? [22:48] hello gentlemen :) [22:48] but i'd like to know it doesn't work if i don't type it [22:48] neeto: try using banshee? ;) [22:48] Riis /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so [22:48] hello [22:48] i starnesttommy [22:48] aryr100: thanks! [22:48] hey all [22:48] zod_: yes you do [22:48] jourdan: will it create the filestructure and things for me using libgpod? [22:48] like doing normal writhing progs, games, dvd, mp3, divX? [22:49] np [22:49] zcat[1] I understand now....I will have to learn and setup both machines [22:49] neeto: you know i'm not sure. I've never bothered, all i know is that it will let me drag and drop files out of my library and also sync if i wanted to [22:49] zod_: everything you want [22:49] im wondering what would be better a 2.66 ghz with 256 ddr ram, orr a 2ghz with 1.25 gig ddr ram? [22:49] zod_: yes, but some of those things need 'nonfree' or 'restricted' extras which are usually quite easy to add.. we can help you with playing DVD etc.. [22:49] zcat[1] no easy solution [22:50] zod_; notice though.. most games on the market aren't written for linux.. you'll have to do workarounds like wine or cedega [22:50] sweet how to play dvd then? [22:50] brandonc503: probably the one with more ram [22:50] Starnestommy, i have it [22:50] gregbrady: port forwarding is _easy_ .. everyone who wants decent p2p speeds learns how to do that. [22:50] zod_: games will be the biggest problem there, but the rest will be no problem. Games are fine, too, as long as you want to play games written for Linux. If you have specific Windows games in mind, you should look into whether they can be run through Wine (appdb.winehq.org) [22:50] i am trying to install enemy teritory with : sudo sh ./et-... , then it ask mefor directory to be installed and it says u dont have permision to write to /usr/local/bin , how should i proceed ? as root or ? [22:50] zod_: just install drivers [22:50] * jourdan detaches [22:50] Any idea why the Update Manager would insist on listing three up-to-date packages, which don't go away when I 'update' them, because they're staying at the same version? [22:51] ah tnx all for the great support [22:51] zcat[1] I tried before with no luck on my router.... [22:51] gregbrady: also many games (windows or linux) need ports forwarded to work. [22:51] ie, I'm already at the latest version, but update-manager is asking me to 'update' to the version I already have [22:51] Starnestommy, im trying to play youtube video and streaming audio from pandora.com [22:51] seb1; it just trying to add the binary to your /bin .. yes run as sudo [22:51] which is irritating, because it means I never know when there's an update I actually *do* need to install [22:51] so how long must i use Linux to be comfortble with it? [22:51] what do i have to compare to see if i can move the 2.66 ghz processor to my other machine using the 2 ghz? [22:51] lilg111111: do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed? [22:51] Does anyone know if there's a way to request Backports of packages other than through Launchpad? [22:52] bastid_raZor: but it wont allow me to write at /usr/local/bin with sudo [22:52] year? month, weeks or days to get used to the Linux world? [22:52] zod_: between a week and 20 years, depending on your mental flexibility [22:52] by mental flexibility u mean? [22:52] zod_, Not a question anyone can answer... [22:52] zod_: I have had people come over, use my machine, and think it's windows with a different theme :) [22:52] roro [22:52] qui est francais , [22:53] thx for the info on that ppls [22:53] seb1; does your user have sudo ability? if you used sudo ./whatever and it asked for a password then it should work [22:53] zod_: the ability to give up old ideas and concepts and adopt new ones [22:53] xrandr doesnt seem to be modifying my settings [22:53] zod_: once stuff is set up, linux is very easy to use, things are in obvious places .. OpenOffice works just like msoffice, etc.. [22:53] ah sweet [22:53] jumeaux, si tu veux de l'aide en francais , /join #ubuntu-fr [22:53] bastid_raZor: yes my user has sudo but it didnt ask for password [22:53] Starnestommy, yes [22:53] zod, in planet houston, one's relative comfort level with a new depends on the individual... can't say sry [22:53] Hi, does anybody know how to install linux-DVT files? [22:54] I want to code a driver for an interactive whiteboard (essentially a big graphics tablet) - does this happen at a kernel level or at the Xwindows level? [22:54] derdui_: deep vein thrombosis? [22:54] well what is the big difference from the windows World and the Linux world, any one who can tell me that? [22:54] if i have a machine with 64 mb onboard vid then is that 64 being taken from the ram to be used as vid ? [22:54] zod_: Try it in #offtopic [22:54] zod_: Freedom :) [22:54] no soundray:) [22:55] brandonc503: if it is 'shared' memory then yes [22:55] zod come to the ubuntu-offtopic channel and discuss it over there [22:55] zod_, you don't need money to be part of the linux world we welcome everybody [22:55] seb1; if you're able to use sudo and it isn't allowing you to write to /usr/local/bin then i don't know what to tell you [22:55] squidinkc how can i tell if it shared? [22:55] bastid_raZor: ok thx m8 [22:55] zcat[1] yes? [22:55] ah freedom, like Microsoft spy on u??? [22:55] and how can i find he FSB speed of my system? [22:56] zod_: BTW, I hear D2 runs well through Wine. [22:56] brandonc503: is there an option in your BIOS to change the amount of vid memory? [22:56] no freedom means freedom to distribute, modify, and distribute === BiriX is now known as sickflame [22:56] zod_: Exactly. [22:56] hi all [22:56] zod_: Ubuntu emulates most of the concepts that Windows uses (like windows, desktops, drop-down menus etc.) -- so it's easy to get started. To make full use of Linux's advantages, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with dialog interfaces, though. An example would be the bash shell in a terminal window. [22:56] And does the amount of memory at startup differ (by 64 MB) from the amount you thought you had in the systeM,? [22:56] how do i get rid of the network icon in the notificatio area? === Drunktard is now known as BadHorsie [22:57] lol i pulled a dodgeball acronym just ignore me [22:57] lekremyelsew; should be right click the icon then remove from panel [22:57] derdui_: what is a DVT file then, and where did you get it? [22:57] Can anyone help me figure out how to get my SoundBlaster Live Value card to work? [22:57] squidinkc yea [22:57] bastid_raZor: not so simple ... it's a notification icon [22:58] bastid_raZor: its not a launcher, its in the notification tray [22:58] there is also an onchip frame buffer size [22:58] i do not have a #10 option envelope print size for my printer [22:59] Can anyone help me get my sound card to work on Ubuntu? [22:59] Starnestommy and bastid_raZor: okay this is Bax, but know I've got the same problem as before but in reverse, the root user can't log in [22:59] i dont know, thats why i ask soundray, and i dont have any file like that, i just wanna lern more, you often find that in the www, for virus-scanners etc... [22:59] lekremyelsew: you could remove network-manager from your session and that icon won't appear. [22:59] could I get some help with xrandr? [23:00] !sound > JaxJagsfan, please read the private message and follow the advice. If you hit problems, come back here and ask more specifically [23:00] zcat[1]: will it come back on startup? [23:00] hey all, anyone here administer Ubuntu in the corporate environment? [23:00] zcat[1]: nvm thats a stupid question [23:00] lekremyelsew: no, next login network-manager won't run and you won't see he icon.. if you need it back, eg for connecting to a wireless network, you an press F2 and run it manually [23:01] anyone dual booting windows vista and ubuntu? [23:01] lets say i have 1 gig of ram and i set my bios setting for AGP Aperture Size to 512... but i dont use the on board vid, i use a card... does that 512 i set for AGP get wasted... or is that 512 what im alowing for the vid card to use? [23:01] derdui_: no, you don't often find DVT files on the web. And, note, you don't need a virus scanner if you're running only Linux. [23:01] how can i add user to be able to write to /usr/local/bin ? Enemy teritory wants to write data there but my user dont have rights. when i start install with sudo sh ./et-... it dont ask me for pasword. [23:01] Integration: ask the real question please [23:01] zcat[1]: i dont even have a wireless receiver, so ill just delete it from the startup menu [23:02] TheBadTax; honestly the person who chown'ed your /home is a retard.. my best guess chown /home as root then chown each username inside /home to their username [23:02] but what is that? soundray [23:02] zcat[1]: thx btw [23:02] derdui_: http://www.whatextension.com/DVT [23:02] any issues with dual booting ubuntu and vista? or is it painless? [23:02] I'm using xrandr to set up dual head, and I'm getting the following: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1920x1200 (desired size 3840x1200) [23:02] thanks soundray [23:02] any ideas how to fix this? [23:02] Integration, should be painless [23:02] Integration: afaik painless (other than the pain of still having Vista installed) [23:02] whohaa [23:02] !dual [23:02] Factoid dual not found [23:02] !dualboot | Integration [23:02] Integration: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:03] TheBadTax; ex. /home/razor ,. chown -R razor:razor /home/razor .. then /home/bax .. chown -R bax /home/bax [23:03] and what temp should my CPU be runing at to be safe? [23:03] when i type in ubuntu the courser jumps around to previous words i typed [23:03] sounds good because i'm going to install it today on my laptop :D [23:03] brandonc503, dependding on your CPU [23:03] i lovre all the praise I have read about miro...only problem... it ceashes on launch..lol [23:03] Integration, you should do it without any problem [23:03] brandonc503: you will have to look that up in the specifications of your CPU (on the manufacturer's web site) [23:04] k [23:04] dualboot vista installs are pretty similar to dual-boot XP installs .. some vista laptops are packed with Linux-hostile hardware though, which can be a problem. [23:04] hi, does anybody know if ubuntu can work with raid-1 over nvidia NF4 ultra chipset? Thank you... [23:04] brandonc503, usually, till 70 C [23:04] okay then im fine [23:04] david_: yeah miro is not that stable. did it work at first? [23:04] Where can i get a desktop video recording program to make some youtube videos with [23:04] frank23, nope === sickflame is now known as BIRIX [23:05] and if i have 1 gig of ram and i set my bios setting for AGP Aperture Size to 512... but i dont use the on board vid, i use a card... does that 512 i set for AGP get wasted... or is that 512 what im alowing for the vid card to use?

I cant paste stuff inside there :/ [23:06] need some serious help, I installed this CUPS update for an HP P1006 printer (hplip-2.8.2) but now the printer won't work, is there a way to wipe out the tool it installed called "HP Device Manager" as it installed two instances of this app [23:06] Paul_UK, omg [23:06] Does anyone here know how i can just find a channel just for regual chatting?

I took the laptop of the network and need to remount it, but when i try to umount the /mnt/laptop_folder i get "device is busy". Anyone know howto to unmount this ? [23:09] zcat[1]: right [23:10] nilse: I think it configures the character set globally [23:10] Zergiu: Perfect. So do this instead, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then comment out the line with cd (put a # in front of it), then save and close, then sudo apt-get update [23:10] soundray: ok, Ill test it, thanks! [23:10] Zergiu: Then install [23:10] hello, could anyone help me with my monitor and video card? [23:10] ArthurArchnix: alright thanks [23:11] nilse: are you sure that this is what you want, though? Going back from utf-8 is kind of, well, backwards [23:11] Zergiu: np [23:11] I installed "wine" using "sudo apt-get install wine" then downloaded utorrent and right clicked it and said install with wine. Where in my harddrive should it be located?

[23:13] arrow: it's probably a good idea to run winecfg before you go ahead with everything else [23:14] frank23, it crashes when its loading the miro guide [23:15] I'll try that soundray, thanks zcat[1] [23:15] I can install the nvidia drivers fine and get X to dual-screen using nvidia-settings (writing to the config file as root) but when I reboot the computer it loads up in low graphics mode.

[23:17] nilse: System-Administration-Language Support then [23:17] zcat[1]: I run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and then the binary file I got from the nvidia website then load up x, set up the dual screens using nvidia-settings and that's all peachy. [23:17] Radar: There's an autoconfiguration package you have to uninstall 'cos it gets confused (package management doesn't tell it you have nvidia installed) I'll try and find the name for you [23:18] I can reboot X as many times as I want, rebooting the computer somehow screws the whole setup. [23:18] david_: did you try running it in a terminal? [23:18] ok, that would make sense if something else is toying with it. [23:18] guys, lets say im making a batch/shell thing yeah, i want the shell to restart my pc so i need the command "sudo reboot" to run. However in terminal this command, being sudo, asks for my password input, how do i add my password to be filled in via a shell? [23:18] soundray: nothing there about utf-8 or iso-8859-15 [23:18] Can I pm anyone who can help me with my sound card problem? [23:18] frank23, whats the command? [23:18] Prefix: echo "password" | sudo -S command? [23:18] can anyone *please* help me with this locales madness? [23:18] david_: just miro [23:19] frank23, brb [23:19] hey i have two ostensibly identical ubuntu 7.1 installs open scribus documents differently [23:19] what Starnestommy? [23:19] is it echo "my password"? [23:19] Prefix: yes [23:19] what does sudo -S do? [23:19] I am having a small problem with DVD playback. Whe I try to play back the audio and video are all broken up. I have tried VLC and mplayer but no joy. I think it might a problem with the speed of my DVD drive.

[23:57] soundray: i ran that and got http_proxy=http://localhost:4001 [23:57] JaxJagsfan: everything between the 'single quote marks' [23:57] Any idea why the Update Manager would insist on listing three up-to-date packages, which don't go away when I 'update' them, because they're staying at the same version? [23:57] pelo, I can't do anything, the screen is so messed up [23:57] ie, I'm already at the latest version, but update-manager is asking me to 'update' to the version I already have [23:57] which is irritating, because it means I never know when there's an update I actually *do* need to install [23:57] JaxJagsfan: 'ls -l /etc/modules' [23:58] mc-george, reboot the computer, from the grub boot menu, select the recovery mode, usualy the second menu option, if you don'T usualy get the boot menu at startup , type the esc key right after the bios stuff [23:58] an0n: tell it to install the complete set of X11 servers, you can always prune the ones you don't use later. [23:58] iRRVi do you do it in the bios? [23:58] mc-george, recocovery mode is text based [23:58] starshine: much appreciated, shall go try it [23:58] an0n: also even if you can't see your X you can ctrl-alt-F1 and login on the text mode [23:58] xb3rt: that's the problem. Did you install squid or wwwoffle or similar? [23:58] l33: i didnt see any options for it last time i was in there [23:58] dmesg | grep aperture [23:58] I'll remember that [23:58] pelo, I think the problem is I deselected plug and play and selected my monitor, which messed everything up [23:59] iRRVi: dmesg | grep aperture [23:59] hi [23:59] soundray: it says, JaxJagsfan: 'ls -l /etc/modules' [23:59] http://rafb.net/p/O30CDL66.html [23:59] [ 13.980000] agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000 [23:59] damn [23:59] soundray: the other night i tried setting up an anonymizer, which i installed and never saw again [23:59] heh, I can run rings around X, but I never get the easy questions myself [23:59] mc-george, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg should fix that, more easily then editing xorg.conf, just select your video card and for the rest just use the default provided unless you know better [23:59] As I'm about to install ubuntu I found something weird i was checking my laptop with vista in it and it's showing only 25gb out of 100gb of space left when I have used around 30 gb in files only. Is it possible that Vista takes 40 gb to run lol? [23:59] iRRVi: whats your gfx card lspci
