[00:00] Karsyth: where are those gcf files stored? do you have the path? [00:00] Slart: is it possible that my drive "thinks" that there is only 2gb of space? [00:00] cube: look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter?highlight=%28windows%29%7C%28printer%29%7C%28up%29%7C%28setting%29 [00:00] Juan see this nice tutorial http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [00:00] hi,good morning [00:00] gintu: ok well if all regular users have home directorys, maybe you can find them, eg /home/gintu means gintu is a user ? [00:00] amenado, ubuntu wrote the menu.lst and it must be because it boots when i go thru the menu [00:00] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59546/ [00:00] Juan modify it yourself then per your customization needs [00:01] amenado, but is that what causes xp to set itself as default? [00:01] Karsyth: that just means that find can't access the folder.. it doesn't mean there's a file named gcf there [00:02] Slart: i tried running as root and it just went to a new line with no results [00:02] amenado, my temp fix is every time i go off xp, boot the gutsy live cd and remove the boot flag from the xp partition [00:02] gbz: not all users have home directors ex /root, there should be a command to list the users and there doesn't appear to be :( [00:02] Juan i gave you a link to read up.. [00:02] Karsyth: "sudo find / | grep -i gfc" didn't work? [00:02] Juan see this nice tutorial http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [00:02] GIn, try with sudo apt-get install gnome-core ,I think thats wil install all the required dependencies and get you a full desktop withouth the rest of the ubuntu stuff [00:02] sorry, didnt catch that [00:02] gintu: well i am stumped ;) [00:03] gbz: me too, back into windows land for me x_x [00:03] arrow, so i use samba then right? [00:03] Slart: it found 2 things, /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gfceu.desktop and /usr/share/app-install/icons/gfceu.png [00:03] gbz: thanks for your time. [00:03] Karsyth: and those two aren't using up gigabytes of your space.. [00:03] gintu: try google if you cannot find an answer here, must be possible [00:04] Slart: let me double check [00:04] Juan also man update-grub [00:04] Karsyth: so.. we can do this.. "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean" [00:04] gbz: i have a few hours into it already and nothing comes up, i want to know how "users settings" gui does it because that's what i want [00:04] gintu, what is it you are trying to do ? [00:04] cube, never done it myself, just knew that I've seen the page while searching on how to set up my printer. [00:04] Karsyth: and then you can do this "sudo find / | grep -i trash" see what kind of trash folders you can find.. these should be empty [00:05] Pelo: list all the user accounts on a system just like Sys->Admin->Users and Groups [00:05] Pelo: but from the command line [00:05] gintu, man users , you can probably do a users -l or soemting to list the available account [00:05] Slart: holy shit, it found a ton in the trash [00:06] Slart: but its not showing up in my trash bin [00:06] Karsyth: told you to empty your trash =) [00:06] Pelo: i have looked at the man pages for all the user related commands... so man users "users currently logged in" -- i want users not logged in also [00:06] Slart: i download the .deb file ... and the same error apears ... [00:06] Slart: its empty though, it doesnt let me clean it [00:06] Pelo: do you know how to get it to display not logged in users ? [00:06] Karsyth: it doesn't always do that... the trashbin is.. well .. not entirely reliable [00:06] Slart: alright, so how do i clean it out? [00:06] Hello folks.. wrong server :) [00:06] mauro_rioiv: then the package is broken from the source.. you'll have to wait until they fix it.. [00:07] ok, tks [00:07] gintu, ask in ##linux , this can be done, I'M just not 1337 enough to tell you how [00:07] thank you Pelo [00:07] Pelo: apparently google isn't either :) i'll try in linux then, thanks. [00:07] is it possible to uninstall ttthe latest version of kde3 and install an earlier version of KDE 3? [00:07] Karsyth: the easiest and safest way would be to use nautilus... I would run this in a terminal "gksudo nautilus".. but be very careful with that nautilus window.. you can kill your entire system if you drag and drop something by mistake.. or remove the wrong folder === _Casey_ is now known as caseyz [00:08] gintu, search along the line of user permission, or groups [00:08] has anyone successfully gotten webcams to work on stickam? i just saw a guyy do it [00:08] Karsyth: so keep any small children away.. lock up the dog and the cat.. etc etc [00:08] mixed, probably you should ask in #kde [00:08] Pelo: what I found about groups / permissions only relates to those accounts logged in :( [00:08] Can data still be fed to stdin once the program has been started on linux? [00:08] can some teach me about partition ... [00:08] Pelo, thank you, I will [00:08] I'm new and wanted to install ubuntu [00:09] gintu, you just need to get the list of users ? cd /home , ls [00:09] Slart: um, i think i might have possibly put my trash in my trash "?" [00:09] helpmeowh: follow the installer instructions? [00:09] Anyone? [00:09] Slart: im seeing some files that look like they are associated with trash apps [00:09] helpmeowh, what do you need to know [00:09] just moved my HD to a new mobbo, it's an Asus m2n-mx, and now I'm getting a kernel panic: timer not connected to ioapic. I've tried booting with noapic as everyone suggest, but then my keyboard gets disabled... I'm trying to boot from the live cd, and it happens aswell! any thoughts? [00:09] caseyz, you are not being ignored this is just a busy channel , ask your question again periodicaly [00:09] can i switch from video4linuxv2 to v1? [00:09] ok [00:09] hi [00:09] ok i alraeady make a partition with ext3 .... how bout mount point [00:09] Karsyth: ok.. what kind of files? [00:10] Stickam finds my webcam, but it does not turn on, is there some sort of problem? [00:10] helpmeowh: mount point for the linux partition should be / [00:10] msn and skype turn it on [00:10] helpmeowh, usually, you need a / partition and /swap partition [00:10] caseyz, I can't answer your quesiton, try searching in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org , if noone else here can ehlp you [00:10] seb962: Perhaps try usb_handoff as an option along with noapic [00:10] owh [00:10] icesword: swap not /swap. [00:10] they guy i spoke with said he was on 6.10 and his webcam works perfectly [00:10] hmm [00:10] genii I'm going to do some research on that command. Thanks a lot [00:10] Question: I have Ubuntu on an external usb drive, now I changed laptop and the new one has an Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu, should I update the kernel to support the dual core? [00:11] Pelo: so that works if they have a home directory in /home only -- User settings picks up the root account also [00:11] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59547/ [00:11] helpmeowh, if you are using the manual partitionning step of the instaler, you will get asked for what partiton mounts to wath in the next step [00:11] Oh that's it, I'm so stupid. [00:11] ucesword .... do i need to make many partion for every /boot , /home and etc .... one partition for 1 mount point [00:11] The kernel is outdated... This one is a dualcore! [00:11] p221072: I think both use the same kernel.. unless you want to use a 64 bit kernel.. that doesn't really give you much of a performance boost [00:11] gintu, the /home for the root user is /root [00:12] seb962: dual core should not matter, the default kernel is smp enabled [00:12] i already make 2 partition now , one is ext3 and one is swap ... [00:12] ok, but can I know if I'm actually taking advantage of it? [00:12] Pelo: can't users have their home directory in other locations and then listing the home directory in this method would break? [00:12] genii: Good to know. I'm a big big green novice heh. [00:12] helpmeowh, we slightly above average users like to have our /home on a seperate partiton, [00:13] Karsyth: ah.. those aren't deleted files.. that's icons for the trashcan and such.. but check the folder /home/karsyth/.Trash that should be empty [00:13] genii: Mind you both my mouse and keyboard are ps2... Wont that prejudice the solution? [00:13] Slart: yes that folder is empty [00:13] gintu, not sure, on the one computer, all the home should be in one partiton under /home, I don'T think different users can have their /home on differennt partitons, [00:13] Karsyth: it's more a problem when you have more than one hard drive.. then you get one .Trash on each drive [00:13] so Pelo .... how many partition i should create right now ? [00:14] gintu, actualy they probabaly can but they would need to be mounted under /home [00:14] is it 3 ?? [00:14] !fixres | techt0nix [00:14] Pelo: well that's good enough for now I guess, thanks :) I hope to find a better way soon. [00:14] Karsyth: so.. you're still missing about 8GB of free disk space, right? [00:14] Slart: correct [00:14] seb962: That option usb_handoff works often on certain chipsets, even if the mouse or keyboard is ps2 and not usb [00:14] Slart: i havent done anything since you told me to run Nautilus [00:14] helpmeowh, 3 is what I have for basic work , 5-10 gig for / in ext3, 2xRAM ( max 2gig) for swap , the rest for /home in ext3 [00:15] pelo owh occay [00:15] thx ... [00:15] so i will create 3 right [00:15] genii: Well, you gave me something new to try and revolve around. I really appreciate it, thanks!!!! [00:15] helpmeowh, you can always add more partitons later , you are not stuck with any of this [00:15] Slart: i have Nautilus open, where should i go from here? [00:15] hi #ubuntu, i have this problem -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde/+bug/79101 but on ubuntu gutsy; is there by any chance a known solution for this? [00:15] http://pastebin.com/m23468f0d [00:15] seb962: Please report back results, either good or not [00:15] By the way, if I manage to boot the system I already had installed in my HD... Will I be able to run it? Or I'll need to reinstall ubuntu? [00:16] so the remaining or the biggest size of the partition will go to /home [00:16] Genii: I sure will my friend :) [00:16] laz0r, bugs listed in launchpad have fixes posted there as well when they become available [00:16] Karsyth: run this command in a terminal "du /* -sh" and pastebin the result.. [00:17] seb962: If the old install works will depend greatly on the differences in hardware between the old and new system. So impossible to tell [00:17] http://pastebin.com/m23468f0d [00:17] helpmeowh, that is where all your data and settings are saved, and where you actualy work from , the rest is just executables and os stuff [00:17] genii: It'll be fun to try. brb [00:17] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59548/ [00:18] Pelo is swap is needed ..... can i know is swap will maker processing process faster than windows ?? [00:18] I need help getting my java to work in firefox [00:19] helpmeowh, swap is basicaly a memory extension to your hdd, I don'T use much of it myself but it is used by most progs at some points, you don'T need a big one , 2 gig max, if you have a lot of memory you can even go lower [00:19] Karsyth: you're not even close to using all of your 20GB hard drive.. what does df -hl output? [00:19] I can't get the "add photos" applet on facebook (which is a java applet) to work. does anyone know of a fix for this? [00:19] goose, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin [00:19] Pelo ... What is Primary and logical .... which one i should use ?? [00:20] helpmeowh, you can only get up to 4 primairy partitons on a hdd, anymore and it must be 3 primaries and the rest in logical [00:20] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59549/ [00:20] occay [00:20] Pelo, sun-java5-plugin is already the newest version. [00:20] * Pelo corrects helpmeowh 's spelling to okay [00:21] Karsyth: did you do the "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean" ? [00:21] Slart: yes [00:21] owh okay [00:21] goose, check the firefox settings, make sure javascript is enabled, that is mroe likely your issue [00:21] Slart: ill run them again real quickj [00:21] Pelo, that was the first thing I checked [00:22] Slart: still using space [00:22] goose, might try looking this up in the forum , maybe someone posted about it www.ubuntuforums.org [00:22] Karsyth: then run this "du /usr/* -sh" [00:22] * Pelo wonders if GIn managed to get gnome installed [00:22] Pelo, I checked them out, but I was hoping I might get a more immediate response on IRC than I would on the forums. [00:22] Karsyth: to see what's in your /usr folder [00:23] Pelo, got an error when trying to run startx [00:23] Pelo, mmh, there doesn't seem to be any kind of fix on launchpad, so i guess there is none, thanks anyways [00:23] Slart: a few GB in there. all i have installed in there is enemy territory which takes 900mb though [00:23] owh okay .. i will go out first [00:23] thx all [00:23] it says no valid fontpath could be found [00:23] goose, I meant searching, not posting, you could also try asking in #firefox, maybe they know what needs to bedone [00:23] Slart: anything else i didnt touch [00:23] GIn, what is the error ? [00:23] Pelo, it says no valid fontpath could be found [00:23] Karsyth: and "du /home/karsyth/* -sh" ? [00:23] Pelo, thanks for the suggestion [00:24] this webcam issue is making me mad [00:24] Slart: around 500mvb [00:24] GIn, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , use the default answers provided unless you absolutely know better [00:24] Slart: 500mb * === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [00:24] Pelo, I done that already [00:24] anyone know a good vnc server/viewer? [00:24] caseyz, webcam in linux is a pain [00:24] it sure it [00:24] i just want it to work with stickam, my friend plugged his in and bam it works :/ [00:25] GIn, hold on , let me see if I can't find a font pacakge related to gnome [00:25] Slart: what do i do about those files i found in the bin eariler? === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [00:25] Slart: i think those might have been it. [00:26] what is the .conf file called that has my res that my video card trys to run? [00:26] Karsyth: those files weren't in the trash bin.. they were in /usr/lib and such.. [00:26] i been there once i just cant remember [00:26] Pelo, I'm thiking to mount mu home dir over ssh through some program on WIndows so I can edit files in windows [00:26] GIn, if all you need is to edit txt files, why not just use nano ? [00:26] Slart: well can i delete them anyways? they are associated with steam and wine [00:27] Slart: which is what i was trying to do in the first place [00:27] Karsyth: what files are you talking about? [00:27] Slart: ill show you [00:27] Pelo, not only edit files, not also transfer files [00:27] with a mountpoint in windows, I can drag and drop [00:27] does anyoe use audacious on gutsy? [00:27] i've got an annoying issue with equalizer === playya__ is now known as playya [00:28] Cyr4x: sometimes.. yes [00:28] GIn do you mind having the full ubuntu destkop installed ? you can always remove the extra stuff yuou don'T need ? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:28] everytime i start the program equalizer bars change [00:28] just wanted to say thank you for this channel 24 / 7 [00:28] much appreciated !!! [00:29] Is there a way to control "encoding" or any other locale options in "writer"? I wrote a document in Hebrew, and exported it to .doc - I can read it well in openOffice, but my friend has Microsoft Word and she sees everything in Gibberish. Any ideas? [00:29] * Pelo is now realy puzzles has to how to just install basic gnome from the repos [00:29] even if i save my preset [00:29] Cyr4x: I've never used the equalizer.. I just have it as a quick way of playing wav-files or a singe mp3 [00:29] everytime program stars equalizer is changed [00:29] Slark: jesus it took me a long time to JUSt copy it [00:29] peleg: does microsoft word support hewbrew? [00:29] Slark: im pasting now [00:29] Pelo, I'll try that [00:30] Well, it seems that the usb_handoff worked, but now I'm having another concern consequent to the last one heh. [00:30] slart: yes, completely [00:30] so what do you use as a main music/radio player? [00:30] Slark: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59550/ [00:30] Slark: its a big one [00:30] peleg: oh.. then I have no idea.. [00:30] hmmm [00:30] idea [00:30] brb [00:31] slart: thanks. [00:31] need to get 400MB :S [00:31] Slark: thats what comes up when i run sudo find / | grep -i trash [00:31] Whenever I'm booting from the livecd using noapic and usb_jhandoff options, my monitor goes out of frequency (it jumps to 64mhx, my max is 60), so I can't see anything but I hear the system boot. Any ideas?? [00:31] any other ideas buddies? [00:31] * GIn goes get a coffee [00:31] I'm getting spontaneous reboots. If I do "last | grep reboot" they all end at 17:11. I've not created any root or user level cronjobs. [00:31] i've tried also exaile. that's what i want, but the sound quality sux [00:31] Karsyth: ah.. those you can delete.. yes.. /root/.Trash is the trashbin for root.. [00:32] Slart: how do i delete them, through Nautilus? [00:32] Slart: because they dont show up in my trash bin [00:32] Karsyth: use that nautilus window you opened using gksudo [00:32] can noone tell me the conf file with my monitor res? [00:32] Delete the trash and it puts the trash back in the trash. :) [00:32] This is when it pays to learn the shell. [00:32] im on gutsy and after todays update i have no sound [00:32] techt0nix, all of X is confiogured by the xorg.conf file [00:32] GIn, sudo apt-get install gnome is suppose to get you tthe full gnome desktop without the ubuntu extras, I've gettiung this from the packages.ubuntu.com site [00:32] Karsyth: I think you can use.. shift+delete to "delete forever.. I never want it back.. just do it, trust me" [00:32] techt0nix, the moniotor modelines are either in there, or the video drivers get them from the monitor when X starts [00:33] Can Ubuntu handle 2 mouse inputs at the same time? - when I try to run inputattach --mman /dev/ttyS0 I get the error "cannot set line discipline" (Yes I also have the extra mouse in my xorg.conf.. but still only one, the USB one, works. - any suggestions? Or is this not desirable under Ubuntu? [00:33] i have no sound on alsa [00:33] Slart: yep this is definitly it, it says its around 9GB [00:33] Slart: funny how it doesnt show up anywhere else [00:33] Dr_willis: the shell is nice.. but a typo can destroy so much...an extra space and here come mr reinstall for a surprise visit =) [00:34] Slart: maybe because its under a fake C: drive? [00:34] Thurin1, i have several machines with more then 1 mouse. I just got /dev/input/mice for the main inpt [00:34] Dr_willis, i was there before i just cant remember what it was it was not xorg.conf, it didnt have anything in the file but my monitor res if that helps [00:34] Dr_willis: Are they all USB/PS2 mice? [00:34] Karsyth: nope.. it's because it's in the root trashbin.. since you're never logged on as root.. you won't be able to empty it [00:34] Slart: i think that fixed my problem [00:34] Slart: man, you have no idea how much i appreciate your help [00:34] Dr_willis: One of mine is a Serial the other USB - the dual set works well in FreeBSD but ... not here for some reason [00:34] Slart, and with Nautulus running as root.. you have 2 BIGGER isues.. #1 - you may forget WHICH nautulus window is running as root. thus messing up things.. OR a miss-drag can render the system totally messed up. I will stick with the shell. [00:34] Karsyth: yay.. you've got your 10 GB free now? [00:35] Slart: i was about to format [00:35] Slart: im almost positive i got it back [00:35] Karsyth: you're welcome [00:35] hello [00:35] Slart: thank you for being so patient with me and EVERYTHING :D [00:35] Slart, for root type file managment, i sticck with a bright red xterm, running mc. :) [00:35] Dr_willis: indeed.. the cat jumping your mouse-arm.. and once again you're downloading ubuntu install disks =) [00:35] Karsyth: no worries.. nice to be able to help [00:36] Slart, this is why i often reccomend peoplke set up root's gnome themes to be BRIGHT RED> :) [00:36] can anyone help me with that : "intltoolize: 'po/Makefile.in.in' is out of date: use '--force' to overwrite", don t know what to do anymore ? pls [00:36] Dr_willis: that's not so bad.. never thought about that.. [00:36] Dr_willis: A few distro's already do that [00:36] Dr_willis: how do i do that? lol [00:36] Thurin1, a serial mouse would be /dev/input/psaux i belive. I dont even have a ps2 mouse any more. all usb ones seem to use /dev/input/mice for me. [00:36] Well not a "few" but I know at least two that I have tried that were like that - I think one of them was Vector Linux [00:37] Dr_willis: Let me give that a shot.. [00:37] gr1ff1n, use that same command that got you the error msg but put --force at the end [00:37] sound on gutsy stopped working ofr me today, any help? [00:37] I see people in here complaining that the root users themes are not the same as the normal user.. :) I feel they should default to a Huge Flashing RED theme. :) [00:37] pelo: I tried it, but still the same [00:38] I forget how to set the root users gnome themes however.. run some gnome theme tool as root and set it i guess. :) === asdfasdf is now known as RoAkSoAx [00:38] Juan, review what you have done before it stopped working , did you play with alsa settings ? did you play with permissions ? do you still hve a volume icon in your pannel ?

[00:43] Pelo can you show me what it should look like [00:43] peleg: difficult questions.. I've changed mine.. don't know what the default is [00:44] u mean like an ipod?? [00:44] Enron, it will look like what you typed but it will be a line in the crontab file for root, which your get with sudo crontab -e [00:44] apecross, or just your basic usb flash drive , [00:44] ok [00:44] apecross, just so you can test that it,s not the usb outlet that is defective === _RoAkSoAx is now known as RoAkSoAx [00:47] * Pelo feels like playing around with conky but he's not sure what else he could add [00:47] Conky? [00:47] :( [00:47] Dr_willis: No psaux and I really do not feel like doing a makedev, not now anyways.. ah well [00:47] Thurin1, conky is an applet that displays system info on your desktop , as part of the background [00:47] Pelo: I know what it is [00:47] Thurin1, you do not like conky ? [00:47] pelo my pen drive is working [00:48] No I do not [00:48] But to each his own I suppose [00:48] apecross, might be specific to that type of device then, in other comps or on other oses, does it mount as a usb drive or does it need a special app ? [00:49] Thurin1, I ust wanted someting with a little less resource consumptuion, I made it look nice [00:49] peleg: add the "keyboard indicator" to the gnome panel.. there you can right click on it.. select "show current layout".. that shows you where your meta keys are.. and super keys etc etc === rgoodkin is now known as DrZaius55 [00:49] Need help getting hellanzb + SSL to work, anyone care to lend a hand? [00:49] Is this an appropriate place to discuss hardy? [00:49] DrZaius55: #ubuntu+1 is [00:49] Fair enough.. thanks [00:49] brb [00:49] pelo it mount as an external hd === rcc is now known as GodFather [00:51] well.. I'm off.. good night everyone [00:51] g'night Slart [00:51] Thurin1, http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturehe2.png [00:52] * Pelo cheers at the arrival of nickrud [00:52] Thurin1, the makdev stuff has been outdated for ages i thought. It may be some modiule aint getting loaded. I havent messed with ps2 devices in ages [00:53] Thurin1, its /dev/psaux it seems . Not /dev/input/psaux - on this machine [00:53] Dr_willis: It's not PS2 :| It's serial that's why I said /dev/ttyS0 [00:53] hi everyone [00:53] Thurin1, crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 1 2008-03-03 13:19 /dev/psaux [00:53] I've installed ubuntu onto a USB stick and I'm using a CD to boot off it, as I usually bring it to friend's houses. I've modified the gdm script in /etc/init.d to automatically reconfigure X each time ubuntu is run. But I've run into a problem. [00:54] Thurin1, ahh.. egads man.. thats... WAY old. :) [00:54] PS2/USB has no problem it's the serial mouse that has a problem [00:54] One of my friends uses an ATI video card, and I use an nVidia video card at home. Whenever I go to install the ATI drivers, though, it wants to uninstall the nVidia drivers. Now I could probably get around that, but will this break anything if I have both drivers installed at once? [00:54] did anyone here ever use lcd4linux? everything works fine, just want some hints =) [00:54] Thurin1, I forget what the serial devices are even called. :) been so long. [00:54] Dr_willis: Yes it is - but by tonight I will have no choice ;D - my USB optical is on it's last legs [00:54] Besides the Ubuntu Forums, where is a good place to ask a question regarding: hellanzb+SSL ? [00:54] nontitle, set it to always use vese that should make it able to run on all cards [00:54] Dr_willis: /dev/ttyS# ? :) [00:54] nontitle, vesa [00:54] Dr_willis: How dare you forget - never forget! XD [00:55] Yes it is /dev/ttyS0 slack had it [00:55] Thurin1, I actually had several serial terminals on my liniux machines years ago. [00:55] yeah, I have that already working [00:55] basskozz, hellanzb forums ? [00:55] back when it was Cua## or somthing. [00:55] Dr_willis: Very cool [00:55] but I want the hardware acceleration with it [00:55] Dr_willis: It still is on MUlinux [00:55] Pelo, where can I find the hellanzb forums? [00:55] Pelo, where can I find the hellanzb forums? [00:55] * nickrud finds it amuzing to have ttyS* without serial ports [00:55] I just need a way to have nvidia-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx installed at the same time [00:55] oops sorry for the double post, finger slipped [00:55] anyone here? [00:55] Thurin1, that new Logitech VX Nano Mouse is nice. :) a micro-usb dongle.. [00:56] anyone want to help me with creation of a vmware image of a small program I made for an opensource project? [00:56] nontitle, that's over my head I'm afraid , there are limitations to live cd , you might want to dl the .deb for the restricted driver and hve it availalbe on your usb stick in the /apt/cache folder [00:56] Hmm.. I think i have some serial to ps2 adaptors somewhere in my big-box-o-old-adaptors somewhere. :) [00:56] basskozz, check on their website [00:56] Ctrl - Alt - delete.... on windows brings up that task thing.... how do i set it up to do the smae on ubuntu? [00:56] Pelo: I'm not using the live cd, I'm running ubuntu off a USB stick [00:56] nontitle: the do conflict at the package level, you'd have to modify the packages themselves. But the nvidia is only an apt-get install away [00:56] nickrud, you have unusual amusements [00:57] xp_prg, a vmware image is normally for a whole OS. Not just a program. There are premade ubuntu and jeos vmware images at the vmware appliance web site. [00:57] Dr_willis: yeah, got one of theese boxes too... DEEP in cellar, but sometimes useful though [00:57] Pelo: you're not the first (today, even) to say that [00:58] nontitle, live enviromeent I mean, such as a usb stick , put the deb for the restreicted drives in the /apt/cache folder or where ever the .deb files are kept that should allow you to isntall the restricted driver when you need it [00:58] Slart: still: I ask what the shortcut M-x means? what meta-key *should* it be? [00:58] Ctrl - Alt - delete.... on windows brings up that task thing.... how do i set it up to do the smae on ubuntu? [00:58] * Pelo is starting to think nickrud is a bit kinky [00:58] okay, I'll try that [00:58] peleg, meta key = alt, or ctrl.. :) alt key i think... [00:58] now that gcc-4.3 is released, will someone build a proper package for it and transfer gcc-snapshot to the gcc 4.4 trunk? [00:58] pelo i found on google some problem with MTP player [00:58] kinky lol\\ [00:58] ^c = control C M-C = alt-c [00:58] xxxx443354, menu > systms> prefs > keyboard shortctus [00:58] Pelo, WHAT? keep 3 feet away from nickrud [00:58] peleg: try windows key... in some funny way it was called "master key" in some distros === basskozz is now known as serve [00:59] peleg: so type [windows]+x [00:59] Dr_willis, I know that, my laptop does not have enough memory to make one though, I need your help === serve is now known as basskozz [00:59] In KDE I think it's called Super L [00:59] nontitle, I prefer half-a-continent away :-) [00:59] lol [00:59] * nickrud sniffs [00:59] xp_prg: if you want to only run a single program, you ought to think about wine [00:59] * Pelo is getting confused by his own off topics [00:59] Pelo where can I find the hellanzb forums, I can't seem to find them on the hellanzb web site, all I find is bug tracker [01:00] * Pelo pats nickrud on the back , with a ten foot pole [01:00] ok, now that I've been trying this for awhile, I'm tired of doing it on my own. 1) LiveCD boot fails. It gives a blank screen and locks up after loading all processes. For 32-bit and 64-bit. 2) I installed using the alternate CD. Trying to boot, both normal and recovery mode, and it fails. I get to a black screen and the laptop locks up. [01:00] damaltor: tried, thanks... didn't work, though. [01:00] basskozz, I 'm not saying there are hellanzb forums, but if you want help iwth that particular app you should see what they can offer [01:00] I'm getting spontaneous reboots. If I do "last | grep reboot" they all end at 17:11. I've not created any root or user level cronjobs. [01:01] Dr_willis: tried alt as well. well, never mind - maybe the tutorial (for texinfo) is not so good... :-) [01:01] peleg: well, then you will have no more real chances... a virtual environment takes up MUCH more memory then a single wine-loaded application === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:01] Lycade: when does that black screen come? [01:01] damaltor: did you mean to talk to someone else there? [01:01] Yashy, anyting that might be interfeering with the power to your computer causing it to restart ? [01:01] damaltor, it comes after all proccesses are loaded (on the liveCD) with an "ok" after them, which is usually a few after the gnome display driver. [01:02] peleg, with emacs the escape key - is also somehow the meta-key [01:02] peleg: yes, sry =) [01:02] On the installed version, it gets to the end of the Ubuntu with the loading bar. [01:02] Dr_willis: thanks [01:02] peleg, whats it a tutorial/docs for anyway? [01:02] texinfo [01:02] http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html [01:02] hi all who use proftp here? [01:03] there are a lot of keys for emacs there, but I can't handle it; it looks so unfriendly... ;-) [01:03] Lycade: had that thing too. a very unusal solution worked for me: just wait a few secs and hit a key, the black screen came always right after boot and seemed to be kinda screensaver [01:03] how can i tell how hot my cpu is? [01:03] revilodraw, read the manual ? [01:03] Slart: whats the command for searching files again? [01:03] peleg: i dont like emacs either... \o/ VI \o/ [01:03] revilodraw, nvm I missread your qwuesitono [01:03] damaltor, I had thought it might be the same thing. However, my laptop gets locked up. I can't even turn caps lock on/off. [01:03] Is vnc over nx any faster than regular vnc? [01:03] !info texinfo [01:03] texinfo (source: texinfo): Documentation system for on-line information and printed output. In component main, is optional. Version 4.8.dfsg.1-6 (gutsy), package size 292 kB, installed size 2116 kB [01:04] revilodraw, in the terminal type sensor , or sensors, I can'T remember which [01:04] ader10, i would be very much spuprised if it was faster [01:04] Lycade: did you change anything in xorg.conf, or installed any drivers like display / nvidia / ati? or does this come directly after fresh install? [01:04] Dr_willis: thanks [01:05] hello, I recently started using ubuntu and i want to get all 3 of my monitors working. i have an ati 1900xt and a geforce 6100 on my motherboard; however i can only get one of them to work at a time. any suggestions? [01:05] Dr_willis: Have you ever won an award for sitting on irc helping people? [01:05] damaltor, I only installed Ubuntu. I haven't gotten it to load at all from there. [01:05] !dualhead | tsmith0 [01:05] tsmith0: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [01:05] !helpersnack | Dr_willis [01:05] Dr_willis: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:05] ader10, ive gotten a lot of creative words tossed at me - does that count? [01:05] Lycade: Uh Oh... try to choose "recovery mode" in GRUB startup menu. does that work? [01:05] ader10: We feed him cookies [01:05] anyone know why i still have wine files installed after removing them? [01:06] Karsyth, removing how ? [01:06] damaltor, No. That froze as well. [01:06] add / remove [01:06] Dr_willis: it doesn't count enough :P You should get canonical to award the most helpful people on #ubuntu somehow :P [01:06] peleg, Im missing somthing here.. what does making a texinfo file. have to do with the meta keys? :) the text editors normally make use of those.. === mia_ is now known as majo [01:06] ader10, perferablay an award with a check, for my housepayment :) [01:06] Karsyth, that just gets rid of the application, not he settings files or the data [01:07] Lycade: that must be a very hard problem. did you try to use same cd in another computer? did you do the "check cd for errors" in cd startup menu? [01:07] Pelo: how do i clean my system of all wine / steam / anything else ive installed in wine related file? [01:07] damaltor, I've done both. The cd was free of errors, and it did load on another computer. [01:07] Dr_willis: it's a part that explains about emacs, a well integrated editor with emacs [01:07] Karsyth, sudo rm -r ~/.wine [01:07] Karsyth: 1. apt-get remove wine 2. apt-get autoremove 3. rm -rf ~/.wine [01:07] Karsyth, is steam a window app or a linux app ? [01:07] anyone know how to get to the harddrive on a dell vostro? It suddenly thinks the hd doesn't exist so I want to make sure it's seated properly. [01:08] peleg, Ok. Your emacs - settings/editor are proberly the issue then. It may be the window manager is grabbing the key sequence also. [01:08] Pelo: wine [01:08] Karsyth, that command I gave you ( as well as damaltor ) should take care of it [01:08] I love how I can ask the simplest questions and get an answer here... I can look like a complete fool and still have my problem solved :P [01:08] peleg, i got a book on emaca and they always use the 'esc-c' type stuff instead of 'meta-c' in their docs.. which is annoying. :) but i perfer vi! [01:08] Lycade: ...what the... is there anything special about that computer? is it a notebook? is there any special hardware? [01:08] Karsyth, you might have to remvoe any menu entries manualy [01:08] Pelo: how do i do that? [01:09] Pelo: when i ran that command it just went to a new line, is that supposed to happen? [01:09] Pelo, still installing :\ [01:09] Karsyth, right click applications > edit menu [01:09] Karsyth: yes [01:09] well bbl. :) [01:09] Karsyth, pretty much [01:09] It is a notebook. An Hp Pavillion dv9009nr Notebook with AMD Turion 64 x2 (dual core processors)... [01:09] Karsyth: no output means no errors =) [01:09] Dr_willis: well, I prefer SciTE... ;-) [01:09] Karsyth, what were you expecting to happen ? [01:09] damaltor, Thats it. Just a standard HP notebook. =/ [01:09] Pelo: not sure, im still new ish to linux [01:10] Lycade: ok... Linux on notebooks is a funny thing, but my 3 notebooks work fine with ubuntu. give me a sec [01:10] Karsyth, that's how decent OSes work, no needless bells and wistles [01:10] Pelo: so wine and steam should now be removeed? [01:11] damaltor, I agree. I've had 3 that didn't have problems as well. This is the first one that did all of this to me. -_- I do know that I have an nVidia Geforce 6150 graphics card. I feel like it might be a display issue with that card. [01:11] Problem: when I hit Ctrl+Alt+F[123456], instead of taking me to the relevant virtual terminal, my monitor enters standby mode. Pressing (Ctrl+)Alt+F7 brings me back to X without any problems, but I like my VTs! Any help as to how to begin fixing this? [01:11] Karsyth, I do understand what you mean tho, there might hve been a > commnad cmplete , line or soemting [01:11] Pelo: yeah [01:11] I'm having a lot of trouble using sacreem is there something better than screem on gusty? [01:11] Also, damaltor, thank you for this assistance. [01:11] screem [01:11] editor [01:11] Karsyth, you removed the app with add /remove, you now removed the data folder with sudo rm -f , and you got rid of any leftover menu entries, yep, that's all of it [01:11] Lycade: think so too... but wait a sec, i maybe have found something [01:11] Lycade: give me a minute [01:11] any Gnome 2.22 debs out yet? [01:12] ironfoot_495, what is screem ? [01:12] kindofabuzz, in #ubuntu+1 [01:12] k thanks [01:12] I'm having a lot of trouble using screem is there something better than screem on gusty? [01:12] Lycade: do you know a bit about HP notebooks? is there another model similar to yours? [01:12] ironfoot_495, what is screem ? [01:12] hello [01:12] having some trouble with gparted [01:12] Pelo: ok so now im set to re-install wine and steam? [01:12] Pelo: ok, thank you :D [01:12] peleg, worked :) [01:13] Pelo: lag.. [01:13] Pelo, worked [01:13] Pelo: html&php editor [01:13] damaltor, I do not have a model here that is similiar. The pavilion 9000 series are all about the same, I believe. [01:13] jimmygoon, what is the issue [01:13] GIn, which one ubuntu-desktop or just gnome ? [01:13] ironfoot_495, gedit [01:13] ubuntu-desktop [01:13] but it still got errors [01:13] although X does start [01:13] Lycade: maybe this helps, did a good job for my old fujitsu notebook: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hp.html [01:13] yeah I think you're right. [01:14] hola [01:14] GIn, cause right after you left , I found the correct package to install just gnome, sudo apt-get install gnome , I'd missed it [01:14] damaltor, I'll look though it. Thank you. [01:14] GIn, what errors ? [01:14] Lycade: if there is a similar one with same graphic adapter, maybe there is a hint about how to solve display problems [01:14] !es | christopher [01:14] christopher: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:15] Lycade, the 6000' nvidia should not have a problerm [01:15] Pelo, can't remeber [01:15] geju, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [01:15] I don't know if this is specific to ubuntu but can someone tell me how to stream the contents of a file to a script? [01:15] GIn, well as long as you got what you wanted, you can always deal with the errors later [01:16] Jack_Sparrow, something is causing problems with my laptop when I'm booting up linux, whether for an install or liveCD. It locks up when trying to display anything. [01:16] Lycade, Ok.. so you cant get to a desltop where it shows the install icon [01:17] Lycade, sorry for the typos.. hands are sore [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, correct. I had to use the alternate to install it. That also fails to load. [01:17] Youve been here all day jack, we expect typo's every now and then bud :) [01:17] * Pelo doesn't want to know why Jack_Sparrow 's hands are sore [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, This is why damaltor and myself believe it might be a display issue. [01:18] heh [01:18] Lycade, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails repeat and add noapic acpi=off before the -- [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, I'll try that. [01:19] is this a know bug? virtual terminals not working with compiz running? [01:19] of you [01:19] kindofabuzz, maybe the ppl in #compiz know [01:19] Lycade, fyi on option two.. you also remove quiet and splash when you add those oter commands [01:19] does anyone know about a graphical user interface for editing texinfo? (besides emacs); I need something that will know how to add, or at least highlight, @ commands. [01:19] gedit [01:20] peleg, have you tried with gedit ? [01:20] kedit [01:20] hundreds probably [01:20] !editors [01:20] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [01:20] nano ftw! [01:20] can anyone tell me what the most efficient way to install wine is? [01:20] there is a deb for wine [01:20] sudo apt-get install wine [01:20] what i mean by that is without compiling and whatnot [01:20] Karsyth, sudo apt-get install wine [01:20] winehq.com [01:20] ok, thanks [01:20] Karsyth, goto www.winehq.org and get the repos [01:20] Karsyth, wine-doors [01:20] karsyth: sudo apt-get install wine [01:21] Karsyth, I stand corrected , .com [01:21] does anyone know how to set the brightness on ubuntu? === ut0mata is now known as aut0mata [01:21] yeah don't at-get it until you add those repos to get the newest version [01:21] Jack_Sparrow, I'm looking at the install that GRUB is using. Do you want me to go ahead and edit that one? It tells me to hit "e" to edit. Should I hit "C" there to go to command line? If so, what do I type in command line? :D [01:21] when i unplug my ubuntu laptop from my charger the brightness decreases and it sucks [01:21] 0.9.57 is very good [01:21] Pelo: yes. it looks like it highlights everything.. === Gopher is now known as Gopher99 [01:21] everything that starts with @ [01:21] yeah 9.57 is very nice [01:22] wow works flawlessly with it =) [01:22] Lycade, Ok.. I think I see, you got it to install with the alt.. but will not come up.. right.. yes E to edit etc [01:22] Chris|: I think it is released to the Power Management. [01:22] peleg, I think you can change the type of highlight from the preference meneues for various type or scrypting [01:22] kindofabuzz, so do utorrent and progecad [01:22] * Chris| checks [01:22] Lycade, going that way you do not get to start or install... not a prob [01:23] Pelo: I have done it; only after that it started to highlight @s... [01:23] Jack_Sparrow, On the edit area, it has the following: root (hd1,1) Kernal /boot/vmlinuz some other stuff, initrd /boot/initrd and some other stuff, and quiet. Should I hit "d" to remove quiet? :x [01:23] * Pelo is so bored he's looking at random pick on icanhascheezburger.com [01:23] Chris|, that's typical of a laptop.. usually "fn" and the corresponding fn key (blue) will increase it.. if that feature is working in [01:23] Hihi [01:23] Chris|: You can change the screen brightness level for both conditions using AC or battery. [01:23] thanks Carenthalas i got it [01:23] i looked at it earlier [01:23] ok, so what exactly is cedega? [01:23] but over looked it [01:24] that helps a lot [01:24] the main purpose of wine for me is steam [01:24] thanks :) [01:24] Karsyth, a commercial version of wine [01:24] Karsyth, wine commercially changed.. on steroids [01:24] Lycade, yes the line that has quiet and splash is the line to edit.. go ahead and add noapic acpi=off rith there before the "--" [01:24] do you guys recommend it for using steam? [01:24] Has anyone come across any weirdness with nm-applet and wireless connections? Mine was working great, but now it won't stop spinning even though I'm connected fine. [01:24] is there a way to use wine to use the Steam already installed on another drive? for instance my mounted windows drive? [01:24] Jack_Sparrow, I'm looking at the line that has quiet. It says grub edit> quiet [01:25] Gopher99, no [01:25] Jack_Sparrow, do I just remove quiet? [01:25] Karsyth: best to check the appdb to see how well steam works in wine [01:25] How many users will use laptop with linux comparing with desktop with linux here? [01:25] because you probly got it watching the wrong eth connection..like if you have wireless and a eth port you will have eth0 and eth1 [01:25] Lycade, One sec.. [01:25] In Gnome-rdp I get the following error: Error during the connection to database. I have reloaded the software and still get the error... ANy ideas? [01:25] Gopher99, wine creates it's own filetree with libs and dlls in it to run apps on , it has it's own regedit with appropriate keys [01:25] Carenthalas: I've got both, but I wouldn't have any hesitations in using Ubuntu for my laptop exclusively. [01:25] Carenthalas: probably a mix of the two; do you have a support question? [01:26] Y-Town, what is gnome-rpd ? [01:26] Lycade, Here is the line I use to boot this system kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=6c6e7857-4174-48b3-8711-463352173b5f ro quiet splash noapic apm=on [01:26] Someone suggests me to use Xbuntu instead of Ubuntu for my old Sony vaio laptop (P3-750/384MB RAM)....any idea? [01:26] hi! [01:26] Pelo: Gnome-rdp sorry [01:26] Carenthalas, not a bad choice for that machine [01:26] Carenthalas: perhaps how much ram what cpu; fluxbuntu might be a better choice if ram is minimal [01:26] Carenthalas, ive ran ubuntu on much LOWER end machines then that.. [01:27] Carenthalas: I've got a Thinkpad e600 that has straight up Ubuntu and it runs ok, but I am also considering Xubuntu for obvious reasons (the e600 is like a 400mhz machine) [01:27] Carenthalas, it depends on what you want to do with the machine. xubuntu will proberly do all you need for most common tasks. [01:27] Carenthalas, xubuntu used xcfe as an envirounement, it uses less recources then gnome and should urn faster on older machines, but you have enough machine t run ubuntu if you which to [01:27] but xubuntu is hardly lightweight [01:27] Pelo: its remote desktop connection [01:27] I think I may have found a bug, Not sure if it is only a problem when compiz is running or not yet, but if I open Firefox, thunderbird won't open and vise versa. they both seem to run " run-mozilla.sh" any ideas were I should report this [01:27] I have both Thinkpad T42 and Vaio PCG-R505JL, seems only Ubuntu LiveCD can work on the sony. The T42 has primary XP and 2nd HDD with Mandriva 2008 [01:27] its lightweight as in memory usage bazhang, not in size lol. [01:28] Y-Town, ic, I can't help with that maybe one fo the other, or you might want to run the error msg in the forum 's search , www.ubuntuforums.org [01:28] Alan_M: with all the gtk stuff not so much [01:28] Carenthalas, I do agree you have enough pc to run Ubuntu... but your hardware is near the low end of that group [01:28] Pelo: will try that [01:28] i use xubuntu on all my stuff, but thats going offtopic so ill stop :) [01:28] Carenthalas: with enough ram even ubuntu might be ok you can check thinkwiki for the T42 [01:29] good evening: I have the following problem: I recently upgraded from feisty to gusty and after that my 2 external usb drives seem to unmount them self after a while. [01:29] can any body help me with a video codec problem I'm having? [01:29] crxyem, uninstall thundebird and then reinstall it , see if it gets better [01:29] gitpik, specifically? [01:29] gitpik, what's the issue ? [01:29] Anyone have any experience unbreaking nm-applet? How would I start from scratch with that (like how do I wipe any state files etc..) [01:29] http://www.thinkwiki.org/ Carenthalas [01:29] gitpik, sure if you tell us what the problem entails (is made of and erros your receiving) [01:29] find /var -name "*log" -a -type f -exec cp {} logs/ [01:29] what's wrong with this? [01:29] Yes, I have checked Thinkwiki before, and I am using Linux under T42 now in IRC. Just a consideration if the old sony would be a bit tough for it to run Ubuntu instad of Xubuntu. [01:29] scarr, did you just try reinstlling it ? [01:30] how much ram on the sony caren [01:30] Hmm, haven't yet, via the package manager? [01:30] oops [01:30] can anyone figure this out? im getting this when i try to install steam... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59552/ [01:30] Carenthalas, YOu can always install both on the same box [01:30] it says that -exec has wrong arguments [01:30] well in vlc certain avi and at one mkv play with a weird color misalignment. Like a green bar across the top. [01:30] 128MB on board + 256MB extra (max. out already). [01:30] Carenthalas, ive ran ubuntu on a Pent 1 - 100mhz befor. :) [01:30] no, that -exec does not have arguments at all [01:30] Karsyth, did you first run winecfg ? [01:30] Pelo, why do you think that would work, the install is still going to put a file run-mozilla.sh in /usr/lib/thunderbird, and the same file exists in /usr/lib/firefox [01:30] Pelo: nope [01:30] Carenthalas: that should run ubuntu or xubuntu okay [01:31] Jack_Sparrow, It has loaded. Thank you! Is there a place in the forums where I can thank both you and damaltor for the assistance you provided to me? [01:31] gitpik, hit "a" repeatedly until it changes [01:31] Jack_Sparrow: I know, just want the simlified the future maintainence if there is any upgrade or reinstall of XP... [01:31] Carenthalas, install xubuntu, and install whatever gnome bits you like.. or install the ubuntu-desktop and try them out - see if gnome is slow or not. if so - use xfce, [01:31] gitpik, there is also a vlc channel [01:31] crxyem, let it , see what happnes [01:31] Lycade, thank you but not needed.. we should now edit grub to make that permenant [01:31] it is easy to get them back i just have to press the button on the right hand side next to the home folder butten in nautilus. But this does not help the programs that depend on the data from this drives when I am away [01:31] Lycade: i didnt listen, what was the problem? what did you change? congratulations" [01:31] xenthro: what does 'a' do in vlc? [01:32] Lycade, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:32] alrighty if that doesn't work were would you post the bug report [01:32] Karsyth, run that first and then , go ask in #winehq about installing steam , they will be able to help [01:32] how can i suspend from the command line [01:32] ? [01:32] damaltor, Jack_sparrow had me edit the config to load it properly by removing splash and stuff. Now he is still helping me. [01:32] The Ubuntu LiveCD on the old Sony is a bit slow due to slow CDROM docking....don't how fast will it run with the new 120GB HD that I just bought for it. [01:32] Jack_Sparrow, ok, I'll do that. === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode[u] [01:32] damaltor, I wanted to thank you for helping as well.. [01:32] crxyem, first I recommend you ask in #firefox and in #thunderbird if anyone has a fix for it === kirby is now known as Charitwo [01:32] xenthro, doesn't work. === jra is now known as jandrusk [01:32] good idea [01:32] thx [01:32] The simplicity setup that I preferred would be similar to my T42. [01:32] gitpik, yea sorry, i confused the command with something else [01:33] Lycade: great thing. note down what he says, you will be happy to have it on next installation ;) [01:33] but whats the address for the vlc channel [01:33] Jack_Sparrow, Lycade: no problem... this channel is great, i had a lot of helpers here when i was new to ubuntu [01:33] gitpik: #videolan [01:33] Carenthalas, is anyone actualy helping you ? please use their names in each line and don'T use the enter key for punctuation [01:33] Jack_Sparrow, I see a blank screen. [01:33] Primary HDD with XP and MBR untouch, 2nd HDD loaded with linux + GRUB (for choosing linux or XP). In case, I have future upgrade , or reformat, re-install OS. It will be much simple. [01:33] I figured it had something to do with ubuntu cause the files work correctly in xp on vlc [01:33] damaltor, We try [01:33] gitpik, irc.videolan.org/videolan [01:34] Starnestommy, tyvm :) [01:34] Lycade, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst that is LST if that helps [01:34] Jack_Sparrow, figures. I'll correct it. [01:34] Pelo: Oh, sorry, how should I do it? [01:34] Jack_Sparrow, it has loaded. [01:34] Lycade, YOu can add shift to ctrl-c or v to paste into a terminal [01:35] and Xenthro too :) [01:35] Lycade, NOw you will make the same edit on that page that you did manually earlier [01:35] anyone knows if there is a hardy specific channel? [01:35] Carenthalas, right now you are just makeing statements and no one knows what you are talkinga bout, if you have aproblem state it and wait for someone to answer back , if they don't be patient and ask again periocicaly, ask in one line don'T stretch it out, this is a busy channel and it makes it difficult to follow [01:35] mosibfu: #ubuntu+1 [01:35] Ubuntu+1 [01:35] Jack_Sparrow: .... i searched for a way to paste ito a terminal for AGES. always used middle mouse key... THX. [01:35] Jack_Sparrow, To the same area as before? I located it already.

Thank you again for all of your help. [01:37] sFEARs, it's on the live cd , [01:37] Lycade, I have another favor to ask..

[01:39] Lycade, not a problem... One of the first things you will want to do is enable the extra repos.. system...admin...software sources.. enable everything.. disable the cdrom as a source [01:39] ok.. there's a bunch of files in there.. so if i save that dir with all the deb files in it.. do i have to double click on every one of those files... or is there more of an automatic way to do it? [01:40] Mookie, totem won'T play dvds, you need ogm or something, xine will play dvds nicely enough [01:40] isn't there a way to export packages & dependecies? [01:40] sFEARs, just look for the ndis/... that you wanted.. [01:40] how do i get 3gp files to have sound?

[01:59] Pelo: this is how it looks like... http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9866/screenshotpb4.jpg [01:59] 1200 people and nobody has helped for the past 12 hours lol [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: all right thanks. i'd rather have a potentially unstable system with git 1.5.4.2, than a definitely outdated and annoying system with git 1.5.2.5 [01:59] ltcabral, hld on , I think you need one of the gtk engines [01:59] cable, 10 down 1 up. started this morning [02:00] latency 14ms [02:00] i'm lovin ubuntu support ;) [02:00] ouch [02:00] smatt: have you already run through standard sound checking procedures? [02:00] smatt what does flash plugin have to do with sound? [02:00] how would i go about changing dns settings in ubuntu [02:00] Gnea: yeah i just explained everything a sec ago [02:00] lydgate, Please discontinue the discussion and opinions or take it to offtopic [02:00] smatt: those weren't standard. [02:00] wimpies? [02:00] !sound [02:00] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [02:01] smatt: please check the URLs that ubotu just spit out [02:01] bazhang: well, because it's flash that' should be playing the sound in firefox right? [02:01] sz90 ; yes ? [02:01] i was wondering whether virtual box or wining games would be faster [02:01] ltcabral, sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-xfce [02:01] smatt: if the system itself can't play sounds, then none of the apps will. [02:01] anybody have a data evolution dectop here? [02:02] smatt: sounds like a different issue; when did sound stop working? what did you do or add to your system [02:02] smatt: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp if it sounds like static, then perhaps the site is a flash without sound [02:02] !sound [02:02] Gnea: the system plays the test tones fine [02:02] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

I launch firefox and install the flash player inside firefox, but i get no sound. i checked the sound properties and selected "usb" for everything and clicked test to make sure i heard something. i drop to shell and apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and then install it again. still no sound. [02:02] botabuse! [02:02] kes0: you can /msg ubotu for fun if you wish thanks [02:02] Pelo: ok im dling... thx very much [02:02] smatt: well, you want help, so i'm giving it now. if you're unwilling to follow through on it, then no one will want to help you. [02:03] ltcabral, no promises [02:03] bazhang: sry [02:03] I love ubuntu. [02:03] omg this is really making me upset [02:03] anyone here use a virtual machine or wine for games and which is better [02:03] wimpies, did you try resetting the mappings from withing xine? [02:03] Gnea: I was answering bazhang's question [02:03] how do i reset my DNS?? [02:03] ltcabral, actualy I'M an idiot, this has noting to do with fluxbox, try jsut gtk2-engines that might work [02:04] smatt: oh, didn't see a direction or a direct answer to the direct question. [02:04] Gnea: but to answer your question, i'm using sites like youtube for testing [02:04] niko_: it depends on the game. wine/cedega work pretty well. [02:04] Gnea: the system test sounds work properly [02:04] smatt indeed try to follow what Gnea is asking instead of just posting your original long question === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [02:04] whats with all the ban removal? [02:05] i shall use that then. thank you [02:05] smatt: but that wasn't my question. you assumed incorrectly. i can see why you haven't solved the problem yet. are you familiar with the lsof command? [02:05] fdsjkalf: from the netsplit [02:05] sz90 : i do not think it is a mapping problem. I ran xine in verbose mode and notice propper 'skip' efforts (i.e. the keypress does what it is supposed to but the frames do not move) [02:05] hey guys i have the java_ee_sdk-5_04-linux.bin how do i install it? [02:05] Gnea: not really, but i'm reading now [02:05] how does a split cause people to get banned [02:05] fdsjkalf: unregged people === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [02:05] i have 3 HDs and each has a swap space. i want to make the primary swap file on a disk other than the one i'm using. is editing the /etc/fstab and adding pri=5 or something the best way or is something else better? what should the priorities be for the 3 drives? === Yasumoto is now known as [CA]Yasumoto [02:06] my internet is freaking killing me [02:06] smatt: sounds good, it's pretty cool [02:06] ill br back [02:06] genii: I can't find anything in apache2.conf that needs to be changed. Can you point me in the right direction? [02:06] Gnea: list processes of the app right? [02:06] Gnea: want me to check processes of firefox? [02:06] smatt: negative. [02:06] wimpies, are all the proper decoders installed? === tritium is now known as [NM]tritium [02:06] genii: I can't find anything in apache2.conf that needs to be changed. Can you point me in the right direction? [02:07] smatt: type this in a terminal: man lsof [02:07] scall: Please say again what it is you wish to configure/do, I missed it previously [02:07] reading the man now [02:07] ... [02:07] sz90 : yes I think so, the movie does all else perfectly (speed up slow down skip more than 7 seconds, go back etc) [02:07] * genii slides cryonix a coffee [02:08] Gnea: list files open... but i'm not sure where you're going with ti === chuckf is now known as [MD]chuckf [02:08] genii: I want to set up virtual hosts. My domain name resolves to the IP Address of my server but in the browser I just get /var/www instead of /var/www/mydomainname. [02:09] genii: I have created the necessary config files in sites-available and sites-enabled but it is not working still. [02:09] what type of movie file is it? [02:09] scall: Did you reload/restart apache2 ? [02:09] Yes. [02:09] smatt: it really helps to have a basic knowledge of how the system works. lsof lists open files, not files open (there's a difference.) and how they're linked to each other beyond just a normal process list, in greater detail, with things that you never knew existed. anyway, if you type this command: lsof | grep libasound [02:10] genii: Yes and there were no errors. [02:10] smatt: it will show you all of the processes that are running that have some sort of access to the soundcard currently. btw, is that a half-duplex or full-duplex soundcard? [02:10] scall: I don't understand what you mean by seeing /var/www in the browser. If you point a web browser to the ip/name you should see all BELOW that directory [02:10] Gnea: only an output i believe, it's a usb soundcard [02:11] there are no inputs [02:11] most of the time my ubuntu freezes. could that be due to the o/s itself? or is it my computer? [02:11] smatt: half-duplex means that only 1 application can use the soundcard at a time, full-duplex means that multiple applications can pump sound out of your speakers simultaneously. it has nothing to do with the jacks on the card. [02:12] cryonix, could be the configureation or your hardware or combination.. [02:12] if someone gave me some perl code for an IRC bot, how do I compile it? [02:12] genii: Yes but I am trying to set it up so that domainone.com goes to one folder and domaintwo.com goes to another. They all go to /var/www instead of them each going to /var/www/domainone and /var/www/domaintwo [02:12] goose: it should say in the README or INSTALL file [02:12] wimpies, have you tired using a different program? [02:12] Gnea: oh, in that case it's full. opensuse let me play multiple things at once [02:12] cryonix, how fresh is the install.. has it been upgraded, is it a laptop or desktop, what video card and how was the driver installed [02:12] scall: If you have an alias/virtual host entry in 000-default for example, there will not be a directory which is named /var/www/virtualname unless the alias/virtualhost dir is ALSO in /var/www [02:12] Gnea, all I have is the bare code. I just need to know how to turn the code into the bot. [02:12] goose, you don'T compile it , you put it in the ~/.xchat floder and open in from xchat [02:13] pelo, thanks [02:13] again [02:13] Gnea: i have the output of the lsof command, shall i pastebin for you? [02:13] pelo, is there a specific file format I need to save it as in gedit? [02:13] Jack_Sparrow: freshly installed [02:13] okay i have another problem [02:13] and? [02:13] smatt: there's another issue with that, though - if opensuse is using a software mixer of some kind to emulate that on a half-duplex card, you might be fooled into thinking that it's full-duplex. do you have some sort of mp3 player on your desktop? [02:13] goose, don't think so , it's been a while, let em have a look [02:13] genii: I am trying so hard to understand that sentence but it went over my head. [02:13] when i create a user in the 'user & accounts manager' and when i try to connect to my computer via Putty. it says Authorization Failure [02:14] but im sure i've spelt the user/pass correctly [02:14] hello everyone [02:14] Gnea: it's a fresh install, i should! just a sec. [02:14] cryonix: could you give fuller info please? [02:14] smatt: ok [02:14] goose, .pl I beleive, and it's the ~/.xchat2 folder [02:14] Can someone tell me how to get the same kind of menu in 7.10 like the one in 8.04? [02:14] newbie question, What do you do if a program locks down (freezes) while on the gnome desktop? [02:14] sz90 : it is a xine specific problem. of course not all programs have the same features but skipping generally works (vlc, kmplayer ) [02:14] i'm using ssh and i wonder if there's any way to view images (png, jpeg) i tried zgv and fbi but neither works. [02:15] hi everyone [02:15] hey redheat [02:15] steph_, what kind of menu aer you talking about ? [02:15] hey redheat [02:15] sorry for bothering you all but I need some urgent help round here [02:15] of course, I hope you all in best of health [02:15] bazhang: i went to system -> administration -> User & Groups. and I've added an account. but when i try to connect to that account via Putty (My Windows Box) it says Authorization Failure [02:15] jgonick: click on the 'x' a few times until a window pops up asking if you want to 'force quit' the app or not [02:15] hey [02:15] steph_, Since we are running 7.10 most of us do not know what that menu looks like. Perhaps you should ask in #Ubuntu+1 about how to add hardy menu to 7.10 [02:15] I have a Creative X-Fi Platinum Sound Card, and I was wondering if there's a 32 Linux Driver for it [02:15] ? === demon_spork is now known as demonspork [02:15] <[TX]Strongbow> cryonix: did you give the account a password? [02:16] wimpies: do you have another program that uses xine's engine (like totem) to check if its the xine program or the engine? === [NM]tritium is now known as tritium[NM] [02:16] redheat, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [02:16] Gnea: Thanks.. [02:16] [TX]Strongbow: i'm sure i did [02:16] scall: What did you put for DocumentRoot when you made alterations to the 000-default or apache2.conf file? [02:16] Pelo, where is the xchat folder? [02:16] goose /home/username/.xchat2 === [TX]Strongbow is now known as Strongbow[TX] [02:16] leo_rockw: it won't do it remotely, zgv and fbi are reserved for the *actual* console of the system itself. there is no app that will do it remotely... you can use scp to copy the images to your system and use zgv locally [02:16] goose, that,s assuming you are using xchat for an irc client [02:17] Pelo: in 8.04, there is only the application menu (I think it is name that way) while there is Application/Shortcuts/System in 7.1. === Taggard is now known as bunny [02:17] leo_rockw: if it's a website or ftp site, you could use feh to do remote viewing locally [02:17] ubuntu was cool but i think i might go back to fedora, these nvidia drivers lock up my computer at random intervals [02:17] steph_, right click the pannel , select add to pannel , from the list select main menu I beleive , [02:17] pelo, I use xchat, but it's not there. I used apt-get to install it [02:17] cryonix: ah sorry I meant answering Jack_Sparrow's original question in full--what card how driver was installed etc [02:17] Gnea: i thought feh needed X [02:18] leo_rockw: it does. didn't know if you had X or not. [02:18] Gnea: i'm using dslinux, no X and no extra apps (ie, zgv). [02:18] Pelo: you're right. thanks [02:18] goose, you do know that a . before the name means it is hidden right ? hit crtl_h do dislply hidden files [02:18] cronix: and a valid shell? [02:18] Gnea: i connect with ssh to my laptop. no biggie, just wanted to know if there was a way. thank you. [02:18] pelo, I feel like an idiot right now [02:19] Pelo, unfortunately, they don't have one for the X-Fi card, those geniuses over at Creative won't release the source code for their new cards [02:19] goose, you should [02:19] :) [02:19] anyhow..thank you so much for your help guys.. [02:19] strong what do mean by a valid shell? [02:19] haha [02:19] Hey Jack Sparrow, how are you my friend, hope you're doing well [02:19] redheat, Much better thanks [02:19] redheat, you might also look up your model in the forum see if anyone else had issues and a solution www.ubuntuforums.org [02:19] leo_rockw: i have no idea if zgv works on the DS or not - all i know is that, for the console with zgv, the files need to be local, that's it. :) [02:20] The user has to have a shell. It has to be one listed in /etc/shells. If you used the gui tool, then one of the dropdowns / form fields would be for the shell... [02:20] genii: I searched for DocumentRoot in apache2.conf and found nothing. [02:20] ok I wll, thank you so much Pelo, truly appreciate your help my friend.. [02:20] i see [02:20] I'll go there now.. thank you all, take care and have a nice day [02:20] pelo, don't worry about it. :D I saved it to the xchat dir, do I need to restart xchat? and how do I load the bot? [02:20] it will only list valid shells and probably defaulted to Bash, but it's worth checking [02:20] it says /bin/bash [02:20] Is there an alternative to gdesklets? [02:20] Hi, i've installed a hard disk with a pci serail ata host card. Ubuntu dosn't see it ?? [02:20] Open a terminal window and do "finger user" where "user" is the user you added. [02:21] Look for "Shell:" [02:21] ok let me try [02:21] Gnea: with dslinux you can only use the apps that come by default (which is the basics... it's only like a 3mb image). thanks for your help. i just wanted to know if there was a way to do it, now that i know there isn't i won't keep trying lol [02:21] goose, no need to restart xchat, look in hte xchat menu , in windows, script and plugins [02:21] what is LTS in layman's term? [02:21] Shell: bin/bash [02:21] qcjn, that card most likely requires special drivers.. even in windows that we dont have in ubuntu [02:21] oboy03: long term service [02:21] leo_rockw, You can install other apps with DSL [02:21] oboy03: "Long Term Support". Support for 3 years for desktop versions, 5 for server versions. [02:21] Jordan_U: oh really? how so? [02:22] !eol [02:22] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle [02:22] cryonix: "bin/bash" or "/bin/bash"? [02:22] leo_rockw, apt-get [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: so you think it won't work with that card ? [02:22] Jordan_U: i read the wiki, and didn't find anything about that. === bunny is now known as Taggard [02:22] it says Shell: /bin/bash [02:22] scall: Perhaps take a look at the virtual host entry the person here made, it's the 7th greyish panel down the page, and compare it with whatever you put: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-apache-virtual-sites.html [02:22] Jordan_U: oh, it's not damn small linux, it's ds linux (for the nintendo DS) [02:22] qcjn, I have my doubts.. did it come with a driver for windows? [02:22] cryonix: OK, unless you've done somethign weird, the user has a valid shell. [02:23] leo_rockw, Oh :) [02:23] leo_rockw: nintendo DS linux? NICE [02:23] what would happen if the support to one ubuntu version expirse? [02:23] strongbow; i'm trying to login via Putty. it says Access Denied [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: yes [02:23] cryonix: yup... i can use irssi, finch, links2... all with ssh, pretty cool huh? [02:23] lleo_rockw thats crazy [02:23] scall: Adjust directories accordingly, of course [02:23] pelo, does xchat already have the perl extensions? I got 'Unknown file type /home/goose/.xchat2/RokerBot. Maybe you need to install the Perl or Python plugin? Usage: LOAD [-e] , loads a plugin or script' [02:24] Can someone help me setup my wireless on ubuntu 7.10 gutsy [02:24] cryonix: next thing to check is the home directory. Does it exist? Look for "Directory:" in the output above and see if you can do "cd directory" (replacing directory with what it says in the finger output) [02:24] cryonix, Do you have openssh-server installed? [02:24] cryonix: yes, crazy, but awesome. [02:24] what deb contains Acrobat Reader? [02:24] EDinNY: it's part of the medibuntu archive [02:24] qcjn, It seems unlike;y to me that it will work if it is not autodetected [02:24] !medibuntu | EDinNY [02:24] EDinNY: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:24] loe_rockw: that's a good question actually. [02:24] Jordan_U: no i dont [02:24] Gnea: do you know the name of the deb? [02:25] goose, it's been a while, but I don'T think I needed to install any specific extension to run perl scripts in xchat ,not on linux anyway, let me see what perl packages I have installed and make you a short list [02:25] Jack_Sparrow: well i had the same problem wiht an ide hrad drive === [MD]chuckf is now known as chuckf [02:25] Gnea: I'm getting the following errors when I run firefox in the console and watch output: [02:25] ALSA lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device [02:25] ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default [02:25] ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1351:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card [02:25] xb3rt: cli or gui? [02:25] qcjn, Is that with an onboard ide controller.. what mb? [02:25] Chat check, 1.....2.....3................ [02:25] wimpies, any luck with another program with the xine engine? [02:25] Jordan_U: but i can connect to the box via Putty.. but it just says Access Denied when i try to login [02:26] bazhang: gui, wifi-radar preferable [02:26] EDinNY: well if you add it and then do a search for acroread with apt-cache, it should show up [02:26] yes onboard...what is mb? [02:26] bazhang: although either will work [02:26] xb3rt: here is a great guide though cli http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 [02:26] qcjn, mb = motherboard make and model? [02:26] cryonix: have you looked at your logs to see what it says? Have a look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure [02:26] bazhang: what do you do it with [02:26] xb3rt: take a look and come back with questions ;] [02:26] goose, what is this script for anyway ? were you made an op to ? [02:26] xb3rt: cli [02:27] Jack_Sparrow: I don't know ? [02:27] Gnea: it just scrolls over and over those 3 things [02:27] smatt: anything more than 1 line should really be pastebin'd === Waffles385 is now known as sigriror [02:27] bazhang: does it scan the area [02:27] hi all, my box spits out "Disabling IRQ #7" every now and then, from the boot i see that IRQ#7 belongs to a sata card in my system....when it disables IRQ#7 the drives connected to it go down [02:27] qcjn, did the livecd boot to a desktop? === sigriror is now known as waffles385 [02:27] cryonix, You need openssh-server to connect via ssh, I don't know what putty is reporting as a 'connection' "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [02:27] any idea's why the system is doing this? [02:27] Pelo, it's for a bot that gives the weather to any city when you ask for it [02:27] jordan_u let me try [02:27] what live cd ? [02:28] qcjn, The ubuntu disk you were using to install the os [02:28] cryonix: your system sounds screwy - IRQ7 is usually parallel. could be a bad SATA cable though [02:28] if i still openssh-server. would i be more vulnerable of attacks/ [02:28] qcjn: how did you install ubuntu? [02:28] Gnea: it is a bit screwy [02:28] cryonix: only slightly. The bigger danger is using weak passwords. [02:28] Gnea, agreed irq 7 is usually lpt1 [02:28] cryonix: do you have any other sata cables to test with? only time i've seen that is when there's a problem with it [02:29] goose, I'm gonna dcc send you a perl script a freind made for me (I don't code) you can load it to see if it works and you can also check your own script against it , how is that ? [02:29] Gnea: i dont run any SATA cables :( [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: nod [02:29] okay guys i've installed openssh-server [02:29] hi everybody, anyone have bluetooth experiance ... [02:29] from a cd , and installed it directly. I've installed 6.02 and upgraded up to 7.10 [02:29] Pelo, I don't code either, someone gave me this script, but I'll take anything I can get [02:29] cryonix: but you just said you've got a SATA card in the system. are you using IDE drives? [02:30] Gnea: i'm using IDE drives [02:30] Gnea: I think you have him confused with someone else. cryonix is talking about an ssh issue. [02:30] cryonix: then why is the SATA chip turned on? [02:30] qcjn, Ok.. we call those live cd's as you can boot up and test drive them. Why do you say it had a problem with your ide [02:30] Jordan_U: ive installed openssh-server [02:30] er [02:30] Gnea: where did u see SATA? [02:30] lol [02:30] to hell with it, i'm going back to opensuse. thanks for (trying to) help Gnea [02:30] goose, that script is to block ppl from pm ing you with /msg , let me know whjen you loaded it I'll give it a try [02:30] any1 ever used a jetway MiniQ Twin + his Remote with ubuntu / linux ? [02:30] crshman: sorry [02:30] crshman, Gnea [02:30] pelo, I loaded it [02:30] cryonix: sorry about that :( [02:30] *headdesk* [02:31] Gnea: no prob :P [02:31] cryonix, Is putty working now? [02:31] Pelo, it worked [02:31] crshman: uhm, did you catch all of that? :) [02:31] Jordan_U: putty can connect to my computer via SSH. but when i put the login details ive added. it says Access Denied [02:31] goose, so that is working, there must be a problem with your other script [02:31] how do i print a command to a txt file [02:31] because i installed an ide before..When i installed it, Ubuntu didn't see it [02:31] cryonix: did you check the home directory for the user exists? [02:31] how do I deactive it? [02:31] Gnea, disable lpt1 in the bios for testing, leave it that way if he isnt using parallel printer [02:32] xb3rt: "command > filename.txt" [02:32] Pelo, how do I deactivate the script so people can PM me again? [02:32] Strongbow[TX]: i can see the user folder there in /home/ [02:32] ok got that [02:32] cryonix: ok, next, did you look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure? [02:32] goose, use the same menu you used to load the script to unload it [02:32] irq7 is parallel, but i disabled it in bios because i don't use it [02:32] Strongbow[TX]: does that just put the .txt into the working directory [02:32] strongbow let me have a look [02:32] xb3rt, yes [02:32] qcjn, Ok.. but when did it not see it.. did you get to a gui desktop and the installer failed? [02:33] xb3rt: it dumps whatever would have gone to the screen in the given file instead... [02:33] crshman: how many SATA drives do you have hooked up? [02:33] Pelo, XChat > Load Plugin Or Script [02:33] goose, yes [02:33] xb3rt, if you want to put it somewhere, just list that explicit directory, like (command) > /home/username/blah.txt [02:33] 4 onboard and 3 on the card [02:33] Pelo, it doesn't give me an option to unload it [02:33] which package contain dot command? [02:33] goose, no actualy , windows > pluggin and script [02:33] crshman, I hope you verified you have enough power supply to run all of those [02:34] i do, it's a 700W [02:34] just checking [02:34] crshman: sounds like one of the SATA cables on the card could be bad. do you have any spares? [02:34] tengulre: what do you mean "dot command"? [02:34] anyone with ati mobility radeon installed in ubuntu ... [02:34] yeah i do, sata cable eh....never had one of those go bad... [02:34] didn't know they could =) [02:34] Gopher99: thank you [02:34] anytime meng [02:34] bbl, I need to go eat dinner [02:34] Jordan_U: i've checked var/logs/messages. what am i suppose to be looking for? [02:34] Jack_Sparrow: first it was a used hd ide... so i ve tried to put it in ext3 with qparted and then with gparted, but it didn't see it ? [02:34] Pelo, thanks. Any idea where I can get some advice on programming a bot? [02:34] one_matthias: I had one in my work laptop. It worked great. Don't work at that job anymore though. [02:35] crshman: heh, i have. it SUCKED! :) try switching the drives out one by one and see if it occurs again, if you can [02:35] goose: eggheads.org [02:35] goose, techincaly those aren'T bots, they're just scripts , but you can always try and ask in #xchat [02:35] qcjn, gparted livecd or gparted from the ubuntu livecd [02:35] well i only have 1 drive running on it right now [02:35] cryonix: that was me actually. Anyway, look for anything about that user. More likely the message you want is going to be in /var/log/secure though. [02:35] is there any way to vnc into a computer that's at the login screen? i can ssh in, but x11vnc says it can't find a suitable display. [02:35] and i've tested all 3 individually and it still shuts off [02:35] all 3 drives or all 3 cables? [02:35] drives [02:36] but i'll try the cable [02:36] is there any way to keep the same resolution but change the display "size" maybe, the panels are going way off the edge of my monitor, is anyone familiar with xrandr ? [02:36] arrrghh: make sure you have DISPLAY environment variable set, and it's valid. [02:36] Strongbow[TX]: i dont have /var/log/secure but i've got /var/logs/messages [02:36] Jack_Sparrow: not from a live cd..I've installed it apt-get...? [02:36] crshman: if it's not the cables, it could be the way that linux is routing the IRQs.... have you tried pci=routeirq at boot? [02:36] Strongbow[TX], can you explain that more in-depth? i didn't do anything to configure x11vnc, it just worked... [02:36] what's a glob that matches all hidden files that doesn't include '.' and '..'? [02:36] qcjn, we have a command line modifier for the livecd called all_generic_ide that sometimes helps.. but I need food, so see you later [02:37] have not (writing all these things down though!) === xq is now known as xq[SC] [02:37] orion2012: * [02:37] arrrghhh: is X running on the server you're trying to connect to?

[02:37] orion2012: .[A-Za-z0-9]* sorry [02:37] Strongbow[TX], normally yes, but since i rebooted it's probably just sitting at the login screen.... so i'm guessing X hasn't started yet? [02:37] Gnea: Thanks, I was afraid of that [02:37] Gnea: hoping it'd be something easy to type [02:38] orion2012: it is :) [02:38] arrrghhh: try "service gdm restart" (or if you don't have "service" installed, "/etc/init.d/gdm restart") [02:38] orion2012: just remember: ever uppercase, lowercase and number === dthomasdigital is now known as dthomasdigital[N === dthomasdigital[N is now known as dthomasdigit[NM] [02:39] crshman: try the pci=routeirq thing first, could prevent stress :) [02:39] orion2012: is this something you need to do in a script? [02:39] arrrghhh: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC the part about gdm and vnc [02:39] just booted like that =) [02:39] Strongbow[TX]: no, just on cmd line [02:39] kewl [02:39] Strongbow[TX]: moving files arround [02:40] folks how long should java take to build from source in a athlon64 3 gb processor 4 gb ram in average?

[02:41] ToddEDM: kind of an all-encompassing question. Do you have something specific you need help with? [02:42] ToddEDM: for linux support grforce is much better imho [02:42] Frederick: Especialy Ubuntu. [02:42] ToddEDM, if you donT' need any extra fancy graphics , get an asus board with all intel chipset, saveyourself some pain [02:43] Pelo: he wants games he needs at leasts a geforce 8600 :p [02:43] genii, that's some good info that i've read thru, but the login screen stuff seems to only apply to ubuntu because they keep talking about gdm and not kdm. will those instructions work for kde? [02:43] ToddEDM: cod4 has platinum rating in wine btw :) [02:43] when i type: su and it asks for my password. i placed my password and it says incorrect password?

"sudo" asks for your password. [02:43] im happy with myne 8800 gts [02:43] lol [02:43] rsk: sweet [02:44] i see [02:44] arrrghhh: The port 5901 yes, thats remote X login. the gdm.conf stuff you may need to look up kdm equivelent [02:44] because when i try to install java runtime player. it says your not logged in as a root account [02:44] cryonix: sudo might not even ask.

[03:16] i can't connect to the net untill i load the drivers [03:17] sFEARs, then you have to transfer the .deb for ndiswrapper, along with any dependencies you don't have manually [03:17] with a usb drive or something [03:17] sFEARs: are you not on the net now? [03:17] FFEMTcJ, try this in a terminal sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB1 [03:17] unless i can figure out how to use my other laptop & a cross over cable.. i'm connected using a different computer [03:17] Lord_Nightmare: by default - you cannot receive private messages from people who are not registered [03:17] but you can change that [03:17] Jack_Sparrow: it doesnt do anything [03:17] dsofiesfw, sorry mixed up for a sec [03:17] TheRedBaron: ah. well i just realized *I* wasn't logged in [03:18] so no wonder i couldn't reciece private messages [03:18] What do you see in the window [03:18] Anyone have a suggestion for a file syncronizing and back up application? I am looking to back up my data regularly to my web host server and have the web host server updated not just replaced.. [03:18] Jack_Sparrow: a blank window [03:18] dsofiesfw, You should now be in a Modem terminal window so type "ATZ" then return... It should respond with OK [03:18] Y-Town: rsync [03:18] Y-Town: rsync should do it [03:18] sFEARs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202546 [03:18] that's a topic on creating a network bridge [03:18] (with a crossover of course) [03:18] will look [03:18] FFEMTcJ, You should now be in a Modem terminal window so type "ATZ" then return... It should respond with OK [03:18] thanks guys I will look into it [03:18] sorry guys [03:18] haha [03:19] behave... :) [03:19] hi, i compiled and installed the newest version of v4l. after that my webcam stopped working. v4l must have replaced several of the original drivers in /lib/modules. is there a way to restore the original ones that came with gutsy? thanks [03:19] I use ubuntu [03:19] Jack_Sparrow: yes, it does [03:19] bazhang, I started my day in here about 15 hours ago [03:19] !yay | manatatas [03:19] manatatas: Glad you made it! :-) [03:19] voici, you can revert back to the old packages and their files [03:19] Jack_Sparrow: get some rest ;] [03:20] i don't have linux installed on this machine so that option doesn't work [03:20] Jack_Sparrow, get off the computer and goto bed, you're no use to anyone in this state [03:20] but i'll try to find out how to do it in windows [03:20] FFEMTcJ, great... so now you want to connect it to a dialer etc.. correct... [03:20] lord: did I miss the link? [03:20] yes [03:20] apt-get is giving the following message "trying to overwrite `.../module.so', which is also in package libevas0-engine-buffer". Any suggestions how to fix this? [03:20] yes, I'ts pretty cool with compiz+fusion.. my friends are amazed by it [03:20] Greenbox: how would i do that? [03:20] sFEARs, then it's even easier to create a bridge with windows [03:20] Jack_Sparrow: Pelo will answer all the questions ;] [03:20] if you search for how to do that, then you can figure it out pretty easily [03:20] with google [03:20] looking [03:20] voici, use the synaptic package manager is the easiest way [03:21] is there an anonymous surfing tool for ubuntu? [03:21] RDProg: no [03:21] i reinstalled the kernel-modules and the restricted-kernel modules but it didn't fix my problem [03:21] Waffle: such as? [03:21] lord: ok [03:21] i'm still finding it, got distracted [03:21] Waffle, tor / privoxy [03:21] * Pelo will try to fill Jack_Sparrow 's shoes, which shouldn't be so hard since they use to be his shoes, but Jack_Sparrow probably streched them [03:21] FFEMTcJ, Use ctrl-A then K to kill the modem terminal... Now that we know the modem is working we need to make a symlink to connect ttyS5 to the modem... Again in terminal type sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/modem and enter your password when prompted... [03:21] lord: no problem [03:22] Pelo, np.. almost done, not many of us around that actually used dialup.. [03:22] man, been banned so long, going on like 3 months. [03:22] Pelo, correct that ttyS5 to ttyUSB1 [03:22] anybody using 3gp files [03:22] ? [03:22] Jack_Sparrow: done.. $ [03:22] RDProg: the main site is http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [03:22] if I compile my own kernel, I will have to compile all of the restricted modules myself as well, right? [03:22] Jack_Sparrow, erre, not sure how [03:22] Hamled: aye [03:22] dsofiesfw, Please do NOT discuss it in here [03:23] why not? [03:23] alright, thanks [03:23] !admin | dsofiesfw [03:23] dsofiesfw: Meddle not in the affairs of sysadmins for they are mysterious and quick to anger. [03:23] dsofiesfw, offtopic, you'll get banned again [03:23] RDProg: scroll down on that page and check the links under the 'using testdisk' bullet point [03:23] more then one network in the world ;) [03:23] lord: ok [03:23] dsofiesfw: #ubuntu-ops ;) Maybe they will listen to you ...

[03:24] two things, how do I shutdown X from ssh session in ubuntu and also is there any known issues with ubuntu and ati radeon 9500pro cards resulting in a blank screen [03:24] did this in 32 and 64 bit ubuntu [03:24] RDProg: getting any nearer a solution? [03:24] dsofiesfw: don't start [03:24] have to run in graphics safe mode off the livecd [03:24] but i'm sure they have a couple more ban slots reserved for me [03:24] RDProg: i used testdisk on the laptop i'm having trouble with right now and found out the mbr, partition table and boot sector are all in fine shape, its just the hdd itself thats hosed when you access a bad sector [03:25] How do I check to see if a program is using my sound card? [03:25] !ot | dsofiesfw [03:25] dsofiesfw: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:25] how do i use kde as my desktop [03:25] ? [03:25] while trying to configure the static IP & subnet in the network connections i'm getting an invalid subnet mask error no matter what i do. it has to be somewhere in the /home folder because this is the second fresh install and i was getting this same error last time. any ideas? [03:25] ban me now. [03:25] manatatas: install kubuntu-desktop [03:25] haha [03:25] manatatas, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:25] ban ubuntu [03:25] Devourer: What sotftware do you want to use? [03:25] atlef: playing with tesdisk now [03:25] tritium: you are quick [03:25] nickrud: scripts help :) [03:26] Jack_Sparrow: i did the symlink.. is that all? [03:26] got it, but still :) [03:26] minimec, I'm trying to play Quake 3 but no sound comes from it. Sound is coming from FireFox, Pidgin, and VLC though. [03:26] RDProg: hope you get it up and running again [03:26] lord: this comp was doing fine, I jsut set it all up, had 3 partitions for the 3 OSes [03:26] sFEARs--> what did you type as subnet? what is the ip address? [03:26] ran XP for a few days, then went to install ubuntu and grub didnt auto configue [03:26] hi all, i have a coupla quick questions. Firstly: does ubuntu come with iptables running? how would i check this for myself? [03:26] so i tried to to the find thing and then grub through errors at the OS selection screen [03:26] RDProg, did you get the grub super cd as suggested ? [03:27] sohum: Yes, you can use iptables, there is nothing in them by default [03:27] RDProg: did you check the hdd to be sure its working ok other than the partition stuff? [03:27] I just rescued a borked hardy heron install, so i am pretty proud [03:27] sohum: sudo iptables -L -v [03:27] RDProg, make that supergrub cd [03:27] sohum--> sudo iptables -vL [03:27] pelo, I have not yet, but i have the window open [03:27] 192.168.1.131 & 255.255.255.128.. but i get the same error if i set it to auto.. or 192.168.1.1 & 255.255.255.0 [03:27] i will try it if a cnat figure testdisk out [03:27] trying to install cjson and it is complaining about no Pyhon.h tried looking for Python.h on packages.ubuntu.com but no joy. how can I find locate the right package? [03:27] atlef tell the people in #ubuntu+1 ;] [03:27] i have [03:27] RDProg, dosn'T matter, dl it , burn it , boot it , use it to fix the boot menu and grub stage 1 [03:27] just needed to brag [03:27] :-) [03:28] haha [03:28] FFEMTcJ, You got the symlink right [03:28] minimec, yeah. [03:28] Jack_Sparrow: yes [03:28] RDProg: if you're dealing with a linux boot, the grub cd is likely a better idea [03:28] Do you have a dialer program in place or a network manager [03:28] gnomeppp, but im willing to use whatever.. i have no preferences [03:28] testdisk CAN work for linux stuff [03:28] Greetings Channel, again. [03:28] ugh [03:29] cool, Cpudan80 and n8tuser, thanks. [03:29] sohum: you can install firestarter (gtk) or guarddog (qt) [03:29] sorry, is greeting also offtopic? [03:29] Devourer: Have a look at the settings of Quake. See if it uses 'alsa' [03:29] is ubuntu "debian" [03:29] sohum: frontends for iptables (in case you need them) [03:29] is there anything offtopic? [03:29] FFEMTcJ, bring up gnomeppp [03:29] its up [03:29] Wrathtide, anytinng not troubleshooting related, [03:29] second question: if I do any local routing, such as forcing all traffic to a particular domain to route through a particular interface, does NetworkManager interefere with that? [03:29] FFEMTcJ, I am not familiar with it.. but it should work now [03:29] is ubuntu "debian"? [03:30] Wrathtide, freindly banter is allowed as long as it doesn't interfere [03:30] Waffle: no [03:30] waffle no [03:30] Waffle, ubuntu is debian based [03:30] Pelo: lol, i was in the wrong channel, sorry [03:30] but no, not the same as debian [03:30] Waffle, debian based [03:30] lord: pelo: ok, let me try the CD [03:30] minimec, I'm not sure it has that capability to select... but I'll look. [03:30] greenbox: thats what i meant [03:30] Jack_Sparrow: is there something else you'd suggest? [03:31] anyone know a good apt-get for the sound devices, including alsa [03:31] FFEMTcJ, One sec while I read up on gnomeppp [03:31] Jack_Sparrow: it's still not working.. its using pppd, but not working [03:31] xb3rt, you mean a repos ? [03:31] are there and good dock apps for linux? [03:31] Devourer: You need the alsa-oss package I guess, as Quake 3 doesn't use alsa ;) [03:31] sFEARs--> you type those in the boxes? [03:31] Pelo: yea [03:31] xb3rt: have you visited #alsa yet? [03:31] bazhang: sure havnt, but im going to [03:31] FFEMTcJ--> where is it failing? what error? [03:32] JoCo: i use ksmoothdock myself [03:32] xb3rt, main repos should have everythin you need, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, easy way to search [03:32] JoCo: but i guess you're looking for awn [03:32] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.be/9754 [03:32] One more sec, then off to bed [03:32] joco avant-window-navigator seems to be the hot one right now [03:32] leoI dont see awn under synaptic though [03:32] how do i get privoxy and tor to work for me? are they always on, or do i need to type some sort of code to turn them on? [03:32] joco you need to add their repos [03:33] JoCo: or kiba dock... [03:33] has anyone hit a problem with scim and getting package updates? [03:33] JoCo: yeah, i don't think they are in the repos === Pelo is now known as pi11ow [03:33] bazhang: what are repos? [03:33] JoCo: there are some guides to awn on the forums. there's a particular repo for it. [03:33] Jack_Sparrow, come to me [03:33] has anyone hit a problem with scim and getting package updates? [03:33] RDProg: if you're dealing with a dell, avoiding or intentionally blowing away the dell restore stuff may be advised... see http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/ === pi11ow is now known as Pelo [03:33] JoCo: the place you get your "synaptic" apps from [03:33] alright thanks guys ill look into it [03:33] Jack_Sparrow: the log for the connect isn't getting an error.. but the 10.64.64.64 is the "default" ip for the remote ip as far as i can tell [03:33] yes, goodells, ONE D [03:33] http://awn.wetpaint.com/ JoCo [03:33] second question: if I do any local routing, such as forcing all traffic to a particular domain to route through a particular interface, does NetworkManager interefere with that? [03:33] minimec, is that in the repos? [03:33] Devourer: Yep... [03:34] bazhang: Thanks! [03:34] FFEMTcJ--> you got a handshake and ip addresses are assigned at both ends, so what is missing? [03:34] FFEMTcJ, I must run wife is locked out of her car.. you are really close on that.. [03:34] RDProg: but as i said boot xp cd, repair console fixboot and fixmbr, reboot in to win xp insert vista dvd http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 then boot the live cd to install grub [03:34] Jack_Sparrow: ty. [03:34] anyone have any exp with tor and privoxy? [03:34] xteddy - a cuddly teddy bear (or other image) for your X desktop [03:35] :3 [03:35] n8tuser: well, for one i cant get online.. [03:35] ViperH, some , what do you need to know [03:35] n8tuser: no websites pull up [03:35] atlef: will try that is the supergrub disc doesnt work [03:35] ViperH: yes, what's the problem? [03:35] ViperH, http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en [03:35] FFEMTcJ--> check your route -n and paste it in pastebin [03:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10825&highlight=torbutton a how to ViperH [03:35] lord: its not a dell, and yes, the restore stuff is crap [03:35] thanks [03:36] n8tuser: two, the window still says connecting [03:36] FFEMTcJ--> i dont know if you have added default route in your ppp chat script [03:36] ViperH, all the packages from the link i giave you are in the repos, no need to build the source , execpt for the torbutton which you get from the FF extension page [03:36] I've run into a rather odd problem... I installed a new video card, and now when I try to load any OS, it locks up completely. I had Ubuntu & XP on the machine, and they both lock up, as do the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and OpenSUSE liveCDs, and the XP installer. The only thing that does work is the Knoppix LiveCD, which worked perfectly fine for several hours [03:36] RDProg: and you need to do this in sequence, as explained [03:36] FFEMTcJ--> check your route -n and paste it in pastebin <--- do this please [03:36] as far as i know [03:36] minimec, the sound is still not working. :| [03:36] ok [03:36] yup [03:36] http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/13/browse-anonymously-in-thirty-seconds-and-three-easy-steps-in-ubuntu/ ViperH [03:36] AZ, boot the recovery mode , then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:37] minimec, I think there is a config file where I can change what sound device it uses, let me try that. [03:37] help ! my sound goes bad when i send a line with Pigin. [03:37] now my question.. Its considered bad manners to download via bit-torrent via tor. Now is there a way to block only the tracker of bit torrent and maintain anonyminity but still download the files not through tor/privoxy? [03:37] Devourer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17490 [03:37] ng0n, check the pidgin settings [03:37] n8tuser: http://pastebin.be/9755 [03:37] ViperH: not for this channel sorry [03:37] pelo. ok [03:37] Pelo, unfortunately, recovery mode hangs too. I get to the desktop, just before the icons & taskbars appear, and then it locks up. Can't even move the mouse [03:38] minimec, that's what I'm reading. Lol. [03:38] Devourer: ;) [03:38] AZ, recovery mode you get from the grub menu, should be text mode [03:38] Right on.. its for legit purposes, Do you know what channel I need to go to? [03:38] anyone with ati mobility radeon graphics card ... [03:38] ViperH: no idea sorry [03:38] alright thanks for the links fellas. [03:38] anybody have a web-site suggestion on troubleshooting mysterious lock-ups with Ubuntu? [03:39] ViperH, try on the p2p-irc network [03:39] EnK: more info please [03:39] FFEMTcJ--> you have not added a default route on your ppp chat..thats why the result of your route -n does not show a gateway..you can also add it manually [03:39] ok [03:39] EnK, not realy what do you have running and when doess his happen ? [03:39] n8tuser: how might i do that [03:40] It's a fresh install, and I've not installed anything outside the norm. [03:40] * Pelo is starting to suspect that mystirious cronjobs might be responsible for system lockup on some comps, sendmail seems to take a lot of resources and starts for no apparent reasons [03:40] FFEMTcJ--> route add command if done manually [03:40] The system freezes instantly and there doesn't seem to be any consistency (software, webpage open, etc.) [03:40] ok.. turned off sounds in Pigin. [03:41] !enter | EnK [03:41] EnK: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:41] ng0n, test and let us know [03:41] Pelo there's a lot of programs that call sendmail directly [03:41] sound test [03:41] Greenbox, but I wonder why [03:41] ok. GOOD. thanks PELO [03:41] why is it when I try and compile a script and type "make" in terminal, I get "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." [03:41] turning off sounds worked. [03:42] goose, "compile a script" ? [03:42] Pelo, when I chose recovery mode, it tried to load a graphical interface. Bit of a moot point now, I'm afraid, since I decided to nuke the whole drive and reinstall windows first, but I only got as far as deleting the partitions before the XP installer went splat [03:42] there are other choices. ALSA, etc. I'll mess with them some time. [03:42] goose, scripts should be interpreted, not compiled [03:42] EnK: if you give such sparse info it is really hard to diagnose the problem; what system are you running, what cpu how much ram etc [03:42] goo, what language? [03:42] Pelo, try replacing sendmail with a debug executable that just writes everything to output files [03:42] er [03:42] to see what calls it, and for what purpose [03:42] goose* [03:42] goose, did you ./configure first? [03:42] AZ, consider that you might be having hdd trouble [03:42] LiraNuna, I guess the better way of putting it would be saying: I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just following a tutorial [03:42] FFEMTcJ--> got it? [03:42] n8tuser: I'm sorry, but your going to have to give me more guidance on the route add. I am very new to ubunto/linux... [03:42] goose, what are you trying to do [03:42] compile something [03:42] I have absolutely no idea what to do. [03:43] install inspIRCd [03:43] did you check if it's in the repos?

[03:48] Pelo - Nothing [03:48] Pelo, ok, that'd make sense... Though I'm not sure why Knoppix didn't have any difficulties, unless it's the fact that it doesn't seem to mount the drives until the OS is completely loaded. Although I'm baffled as to why it would work once the OS was loaded and not before [03:48] hello,,I was wondering if someone can point me to the direction creating a raid 1 within the installation wizard? [03:48] EnK: when does this generally happen? using firefox with a bunch of tabs? running compiz? etc etc [03:48] EnK, desktop effects enalbled ? [03:48] leo_rockw i mean here in x chat.. unless you guys can help [03:48] FFEMTcJ--> let me ask you, why are you using dial-up ppp? its a fairly complex config setup.. [03:49] only desktop effects (if that's what it's called) is multiple desktops. [03:49] brandonc503: doesn't matter normally... [03:49] pelo: are there any good walkthroughs for the supergrub disk? [03:49] AZ, bad hdd might mount sometimes and not others, that's why they are bad, they are just plain unrelaiable [03:49] n8tuser: I have a cingular/AT&T wireless card that I want to run using linux so I don't have to use windows.. There is no software to run it "out of the box" like windows [03:49] minimec what dosent matter? the channel i chat in? [03:49] brandonc503: oh, i thought you meant router channel... ok lol [03:49] EnK: disable that and perhaps try a lighter weight browser and see if that helps [03:49] bazhang - I answered that question already. There's no consistency. Software running, applications open, etc. [03:50] a lighter weight browser than Mozilla? [03:50] FFEMTcJ--> have you read up on ppp tutorial yet? ever? they fairly much similar, can you try that first? [03:50] hihi [03:50] Hi, how do I remove the gui from my ubuntu 7.10 install? [03:50] EnK: it probably is a ram issue when you get down to it--compiz, firefox, flash etc take up a lot of memory and you have only 512; you might consider fluxbuntu instead [03:51] RDProg, the menues are pretty self explanatories, if you take the time to figure them out, basicaly grub is in two parts, stage 1 in on the boot sector and direct to the menu onthe /boot foldr of the ubuntu partition if you are currently booting into vista you want to make fix stage 1 [03:51] n8tuser: I was following other tutorials that I found, none of which have included most of the stuff we've been doing... [03:51] Roy_M, google for sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [03:51] brandonc503: Misunderstood your question... sorry. Try to have a look in the forums of linksys, as there is probably no #chatroom === reconnect is now known as recon [03:51] thanks Pelo [03:51] Pelo, makes sense. Although I did load Knoppix quite a few times, and it worked every time without a hitch. I suppose maybe whatever it uses to mount the drives is a little more tolerant of bad drives. Or something... I'm quite sure I'm talking out my behind at this point [03:52] AZ, you'll figure it out eventualy [03:52] FFEMTcJ--> you have to understand the basics, and walking you through the steps is too costly, i'd like you to read up a lil bit how to setup ppp, then we can discuss [03:52] ok.. do you have any particular reading you'd suggest? [03:53] Pelo, probably, though doubtless there'll be a few more head-shaped dents in my wall before I do [03:53] anyone ever hear of RAM that limits how much is in the system? i have a pair of 64 sticks that wont let the system have anymore than 128 mb...even though i have 4x 64 mb sticks in there... [03:53] pelo: ok, thx, i'll let you know what happens [03:53] i'm trying to connect my laptop's external VGA to my monitor. When i enable the 2nd monitor in System > admin > screens & graphics, and manually look it up (model), it asks me for a driver?! Where do i get it? - - see, i don't wanna auto-detect my ext. monitor because it will eff-up my xorg.conf. I want to be able to have 2 monitors defined as clones. (poor man's docking station). [03:53] AZ, :-) [03:53] FFEMTcJ--> not on top of my head, but i'd use google to search for setting up ppp link and also basics of tcp/ip [03:53] ok [03:53] bluefox__ what kind of mobo? mem? be specific [03:53] RDProg, best of luck, grub isnt all taht difficult, it's just a little odd to figure out at first [03:54] Polishpaul, just use the generic one [03:54] Pelo: i'll try [03:55] it still asks for a driver [03:55] Polishpaul, hmmm, [03:55] Hey Everyone I am having some trouble with VLC, all of my videos that used to work before are... I can't really describe it, the frames are hopping around. [03:55] FFEMTcJ--> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html [03:55] Polishpaul, did you try the forum on this, I don't mean post I mean search, I'm pretty sure it is covered, www.ubuntuforums.org [03:55] asdfjkl: you have compiz running? [03:55] Polishpaul, I'm not trying to get rid of you , I just don'T know [03:56] ty [03:56] no. [03:56] thanks all! [03:56] Polishpaul: its a asus 1997 slot one p2b-f, capable of up to 1 gig, it has usually 256 in it in a comination of two matching 64 mb sticks and two other 64 mb sticks, i tried to swap the mis-matched ones for a pair of 64 sticks that match, but they limit it to 128 for some reason... [03:56] enkbest of luk [03:56] asdfjkl: before what? before an upgrade? when did this go south? [03:56] Hey everyone trying to install latest version on an older machine getting "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" [03:57] Rayston, the alternate install cd is often more forgiving [03:57] Rayston: what system specs please [03:57] Thats very odd... I will tell you what happened. But I just fixed it so you don't have to think of a fix. [03:59] Is there any way to output a message onto a logged in users screen using zenity? [03:59] pelo: I cannot get to the menus [03:59] I have just installed 7.10, I do not have compiz, just gnome. I had put Visual Effects settings at none, and all my videos frames would jump forward, I put the Effects at normal, and it works fine. [03:59] RDProg, on the supergrub cd ? [03:59] bluefoxx__: what slocket/slot is it? [03:59] pelo: it just goes the the first screen that tells me what tab would do [03:59] pelo: yes [03:59] hey i need help [04:00] thechitowncubs--> what is zenity? in command line you can try write or wall [04:00] RDProg, the super grub cd is jsut a series of text menus, type enter or someting , try with the arrows and the tab key, I don'T remember excatly how to get around in it , I haven't used it in a while , but it can be figured out [04:00] thechitowncubs: try reading in "man zenity" [04:00] can anyone help me with an error message [04:01] 'E:Type 'echo' is not known on line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' [04:01] RDProg, you can also ask in #grub but it is not terribly busy [04:01] rybotsky, did you try and edit the /etc/apt/sources.lst file ? [04:01] yeah [04:01] bluefoxx__: i'd need to look up documentation on it. I'd try running mem test first! that usually catches bum slots or ram [04:02] how do i do that [04:02] rybotsky: You seem to have an error in line 60 of you /etc/apt/sources.list [04:02] ya i do [04:02] how do i fix it [04:02] ok, I downloaded eggdrop via synaptic, where is it and how can I use it?

[04:55] ~~nickrud~~i like most of the apps but it seems there are more avail. for kde [04:55] TaRDy: ah. Well, I'd suggest booting back into windows, let windows fix the disk.

If you still have the dependency problem you could try to force the install (see man dpkg). [05:04] bob42: Hmm. Must be because that package is from a debian repo...

I can connect to one wireless network, but not another one.

[05:21] mine have gone missing during a recent update [05:21] saikor: I can select it, but it prompts me to enable the restricted drivers, and when I select yes, it overwrites the custom-compiled ones with stock ones for a different kernel (2.6.22-14) that don't work at all, and x falls back to vesa [05:21] Daisuke_Ido: Yes.

[05:39] bullgard4, are you familiar with the term "kung-fu"? the mastering of a martial art? google-fu is wordplay on that, if you have good google-fu you are the master of google [05:39] hopefully that narrows it down enough for you [05:39] TrustNoOne: Thank you for explaining. [05:39] Is there a way to set the "from" address in evolution? (perhaps through a plugin) [05:40] :) [05:40] Hi People [05:40] bullgard4: it's about time you started regurgitating all this knowledge you've been sucking up :) [05:40] hey guys [05:40] lol @ nickrud [05:40] * RedHeron is away: afk, 20 minutes, tops... or not [05:41] Hey all, having a bit of trouble with my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN wireless running Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1520. It seems to drop out with this error: "wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:08:a1:a1:00:56 - assume out of range" every few minutes, following which it reconnects. [05:41] nickrud, sponges don't "regurgitate" unless they are squeezed 0.o [05:41] brb eating [05:41] taco bell [05:41] lol [05:41] brb [05:41] Can you Smell the Bell [05:41] taco bell = night on the toilet [05:42] my back and forward mouse buttons don't work in epiphany [05:42] use firefox then [05:42] T-T [05:42] TrustNoOne: that's no help at all [05:42] well i'm already using ff but i prefer epiphany :/ === olegb_ is now known as olegb [05:43] and when I installed epiphany those buttons now don't work in ff either [05:43] nickrud, your right, i guess i am picking up bad habbits from some of the help i received from some people in here ^_^ [05:43] how would epiphany affect firefox? [05:43] l815: have you tried enabling mouse gestures in epiphany? they work pretty well [05:43] How do I install a gnome theme? I open up the theme manager, click install theme, and pointed it at the archive, at each individual file... i can't figure it out [05:43] how can i logout using command-line? [05:43] TheNewAndy: There is one, certainly. Either you have set it when you set up your Epiphany or Epiphany took it from another configuration file. A grep over all files for your entry will tell you. [05:43] sixpence: not sure, I play with Synaptic, check out man apt-get? GL. [05:44] nickrud, no i haven't, but i'm so used to those buttons, that i find myself clicking them and nothing happens lol [05:44] manatatas: logout [05:44] blind: try just dragging the tar ball you downloaded onto the window , that should install it [05:44] n2diy: Alright. [05:44] alright, i'll try it [05:44] where do i enable mouse gestures? [05:44] blind, download the theme, extract contents to /home/user/.themes and go to System>Preferences>Appearance [05:44] bind: bash: logout: not login shell: use `exit' [05:44] Thanks, nickrud [05:44] ? [05:44] manatatas: type 'exit' [05:45] I can't get amarok to have mp3 support. When I click the prompt to install mp3 support in amarok it doesn't do anything. [05:45] lol nickrud... such a simplistic answer vs mine [05:45] blind: typing exit, just closes the command-line.. [05:45] Good Question how do we get different mouse themes [05:45] voidmage, it should take a little while and then give you a password prompt. [05:46] blankthemuffin: it doesn't do that. it instantly gives me a restart amarok message. [05:46] nickrud, where is the option for mouse gestures? i don't see it [05:46] manatatas: are you trying to logout via a terminal emulator? [05:46] blind: yes.. [05:46] MagicMoonLight, extract mouse theme to /home/user/.icons and go to System>Preferences>Appearance and click on customize button and go to Pointer tab [05:46] manatatas: I'm not sure if you can do that.. If you can, I'm not sure how. [05:47] l815: tools->extensions [05:47] That I know how to do I kust don't know where to get new themes [05:47] for the mouse [05:47] nickrud, there's no tools menu! ;o [05:48] blankthemuffin: oh, i found it [05:48] l815: what version of ubuntu? and, do you have the epiphany-extensions package installed? [05:48] manatatas: /etc/init.d/gdm restart may do your job in a round about way [05:48] MagicMoonLight, http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=36&PHPSESSID=5ea53b57d81d34da6c6e7cb8e7c1ca5e [05:48] hello. I can ping google/my router, until I try to do anything substantial on my wireless connection, at which point I can't even ping my router (MAC not in ARP cache). It works fine on another wireless network. [05:48] blankthemuffin: it wasn't sudo'ing right but it thought it finished, or something [05:48] nickrud, i don't have the extensions installed, and i'm using hardy [05:48] found the package i needed to install anyway [05:48] Thx TrustNoOne I will look over there [05:48] blind, thanks for trying to help [05:48] voidmage, cool, it's pretty touch and go. [05:48] nickrud, thanks [05:49] it looks like there's an open bug on this [05:49] AndrewB: I'll try that, thanks.. [05:49] or it was fixed. [05:49] and my install is acting up again, or something [05:50] hello,I need help please , how i can disable software from running on starting at startup ? [05:50] Nah it's not fixed that's for sure, it took me ages too get it too work the other day. [05:50] Werdna, could be your router in that case, wireless signals can be disturbed with microwaves and wireless phones and cell phones etc... if you have problems try changing the type of encryption your wireless is using (IE: WPA instead of WEP) and change the wireless channel it is broadcasting on [05:50] TrustNoOne: Works for two other devices, but it is substantially further away. I'll try that, thanks. [05:51] k... back [05:51] cerberus__, System > Preferences > Sessions [05:52] * Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [ OK ] [05:52] * Starting GNOME Display Manager... [05:52] I got serious probs with my pc and ubuntu [05:52] I am installing linux-image-2/6/22-14 generic, linux-ubuntu-modules...-generic, linux-restricted-modules...-generic [05:52] AndrewB: it doesn't work.. [05:52] Will that work with a Dual Core? [05:52] I got the official disc and I still cant get a gui!!! [05:52] manatatas: when you say log out do you mean out of gnome yeah? [05:52] what a strange thing. [05:53] tezzie23, Do you have a GeForce6800 GS perchance? [05:53] AndrewB: yes, I'm on gnome.. I would like to know if i could logout and logbackin through command-line.. [05:53] I need to reboot [05:54] hello [05:54] manatatas, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:54] manatatas, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [05:54] Are there any MPD controllers (play/pause/stop/etc buttons) that fit into gnome-panel? I don't even know what to search for. [05:54] blankthemuffin: thanks, I'll try that.. [05:55] blankthemuffin: can't you just do 'restart' ? [05:55] blind: sonata will put an icon in your system tray, and you could create a cluster of panel launchers which run 'mpc next', etc [05:55] can anyone help me pls, I can t find anything on the internet. When I run module-assistant auto-install alsa, I get an error the CFLAGS was changed, what can I do ?? [05:55] oh, very true. [05:55] how do I make sendmail work on ubuntu? [05:55] try the command gnome-panel-logout [05:55] oh he is gone [05:56] crdlb: would i be able to change the size of those launchers? or would they be as big as everything else? [05:56] blankthemuffin, I have geforce, but I dont know which one [05:56] blind: are you using a really tall panel? [05:56] blankthemuffin, does dat matter, by any chance [05:56] ? [05:57] blankthemuffin: it worked, thanks.. [05:57] blind: if so, you could put them in a "Launchers List" [05:57] AndrewB: i forgot sudo, thnaks [05:57] oh manatatas np [05:57] Yeah it could tezzie23, I know for a fact that my 6800 GS only works with the restricted nvidia drivers or the vesa drivers. [05:58] I'm having a bit of trouble with my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN wireless running Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1520. It seems to drop out with this error: "wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:08:a1:a1:00:56 - assume out of range" every few minutes, following which it reconnects. [05:58] crdlb: no, one line panel. [05:58] Hello [05:58] I had my firest crash with XCHat [05:58] five extra icons takes up a bit more space. [05:58] bullgard4: I'm not sure I follow. I'm asking about evolution, and I don't know what my "entry" is. [05:58] sorry, first [05:58] blankthemuffin, but I couldnt even install the older version... [05:59] I added another server (reaper-chat), and next time I launched XChat it wouldn't launch [05:59] blind: then use sonata's tray icon? [05:59] tezzie23, it's nothing too do with what version, mine fails with all the linux distros I have tried until I get the Nvidia drivers on there. [06:00] blankthemuffin, so u just gottaa get the drivers? not a whole-nother card? [06:00] I have been trying to apply a acpi kernel patch for my system PD 3ghz [06:00] tezzie23, yeah, but it involves installing them via the command line. [06:01] That is if it's the problem. [06:01] blankthemuffin, ubuntu's on it doesnt matter? [06:01] but i get the error Could not find file to patch in line 3 [06:01] TrustNoOne: had a go at changing the channel, etc - but link quality is still 4/70 according to iwconfig. [06:01] signal -87dB, noise -91 [06:01] /join #coder [06:02] tezzie23, not sure what you mean there, but mine has not worked on any version of ubuntu from 6.04 to 7.04 [06:02] I am doing this on /usr/src/linux-headers 2.6.22-14/drivers/acpi [06:03] Werdna, other than moving farther away (closer to the devices that work) i can only think that maybe its the driver not fully compatible with your card? [06:03] blankthemuffin, u said command line.... ubuntu's or windows? [06:03] hello,ubuntu people I have debian insalled and was wondering how to swich over without useing a live cd? [06:03] or a installation c [06:03] whitehat, network installation? [06:04] tezzie23, ubuntu's [06:04] you have too put a driver exe from the nvidia site on a flash disk or similar, then run it from the command line, you also need too have the internet on the PC in question. [06:04] by exe I mean executable, not an actual .exe file :P [06:04] ok that works [06:04] TrustNoOne: well, perhaps there's a better driver for it? [06:04] but would it format my debian partian [06:05] Werdna, unfortunately i wouldnt be too sure [06:05] TrustNoOne: I'm using whatever came with ubuntu. It's a fairly old laptop [06:05] blankthemuffin, so, start the ubuntu disc and then install the driver from the (sudo) command line? [06:05] apache is messing up so I thought It'd go with ubuntu [06:06] what is the ubuntu website? [06:06] Is an athlon x2 1.8Ghz, 512MB ram, and 7200GS good enough for HD? (front/backend) [06:06] yeah that should work tezzie23 [06:06] when my machine wakes up after hibernating, network manager needs my password to reconnect to my wireless network. This always happens, even though I check the box that says to remember the password. [06:06] Werdna, i know for a fact that some cards just dont like to work right, like i have an intel card, it works perfect, and i have a wireless N card and it doesnt work unless the network is unencrypted... (using ndiswrapper) since the manufacture doesnt support linux (only windows) so unfortunately there are some limitations [06:06] trying to figure out if my HD firewire problems are firewire related, or my computer sucking [06:06] Hello, does it possible to compile package from i386 to amd64 ? [06:07] or it might be easier too test it by switching too the vesa driver on the live CD, and then if that fixes it, install ubuntu, and then install the nvidia driver. [06:07] tezzie23, ^ [06:07] blankthemuffin, how do I find da drivers, and how are your letters showin up in red when u talkin to me? [06:07] TrustNoOne: mmm.. I wanted to use WPA on this, but it's an old-school wireless card that doesn't support WPA. [06:07] It worked perfectly fine for the other network, though.. [06:09] how do you make it do network install can't find option on website [06:09] tezzie23, the letters show up in red because I had you name in the message that I sent. [06:09] blankthemuffin, is mine doin the same? [06:09] Werdna, yeah so if it works on the other network and it uses WPA, make sure its the same type of encryption (IE TKIP or TES) and using the same method of key IE passphrase or hex [06:09] tezzie23, yeah. [06:10] blankthemuffin, cool [06:10] Werdna, because WPA TKIP might not work and WPA AES might work so [06:10] fine, I guess I'm stuck with debian [06:10] blankthemuffin, can others see it? [06:10] TrustNoOne: It was unencrypted on the other one. Now I've been trying to use just WEP [06:10] felips shiuahsaiu [06:10] [bladinho]: :o) [06:10] Werdna, if it was unencrypted on the other one, make yours unencrypted just to "test" it, if it works perfectly, you know its the encryption that is throwing you off [06:11] cerberus__: if you have a i386 package, you probably just have the binary. If you want to compile, you need to get the source package instead, but you probably just want to get the amd64 package that's already compiled [06:11] TrustNoOne: moment [06:11] blankthemuffin, brb... please still be here [06:11] i am getting error , when i run the livecd through qemu " unable to find a medium containing live filesystem " [06:13] tezzie23, http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=785996&postcount=2 < this is probably the best way for you too get it working.

I'm running Ubuntu, and I've got a question about my external HD. Occasionally, every few hours or so, my external hd will temporarily unmount. If I click on the volume, it remounts no problem. Is this a problem? I ask because I'm wary, my internal HD died this weekend and I'd rather not lose any more data. [07:01] how do I add something to the main menu? where do I put the .desktop file? [07:01] My internal hd had been locking up like after an hour previously for about a month and I just didn't realize it was the disc going, so I want to make sure it's not my external hd dying. [07:02] sorry, went AFK, Blank and eres4si. I installed them by trying to set up my desktop, and i clicked on the Desktop Effects, set it to Normal instead of none. [07:02] It asked if i wanted to enable them, and told me for it to take effect i'd need to reboot [07:02] #linuxac [07:03] I rebooted, and it now just gives me that. My resolution is set to 1280x1024, could enabling those drivers change it to something my monitor couldn't handle? [07:04] my graphics card is a Geforce 6200 LE, if that helps. [07:04] I wonder if anyone can help me with this: I'm installing Kino 1.3.0 on gutsy amd64 and I get this message when entering "sudo make install": make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cyberfin/Desktop/kino-1.3.0/ffmpeg' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 [07:04] Arcor, the restricted drivers manager should set that up right [07:05] I'm having a problem with Apache, but ##apache is dead.

[09:00] this is such a noob question but [09:00] prince_jammys, if i opened a text from cat, i was just wondering if that text is ever recorded in the bash history or somewhere besides the file that it grabbed it from? [09:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx here is a wiki for that card xgreenoughx [09:00] odder, dunno, i have only tried double clicking on it in nautilus,.,.

[09:01] would anybody else have an idea or is it never recorded in history? [09:01] genuser: as far as I can read from wikipedia, it's not recorder in your bash history [09:01] genuser: cat just prints you a file on your terminal, and that's all [09:02] *recorded [09:02] odder, ok thanks. [09:02] cat is nice together with pipe and pastebinit ;] [09:02] hey is there anyone here who could help me get my ubuntu box to see my windows server 2003 box?

[09:04] hello, I need help please with a sound card problem [09:04] !elaborate [09:04] Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [09:05] hi all! Is there a possibility to install ubuntu 7.10 from console (X on live cd doesn't like my geforce 9600gt)? [09:05] the problem is, I have no sound. I have a asrock AliveNF5sli MB [09:05] !alternate | mcystems [09:05] mcystems: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [09:05] mcystems, alternate installer [09:05] bod_: you should probably run fdisk -l as a superuser, or using sudo, there's a great tutorial on the Web: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux [09:05] thx [09:05] ty odder,.,. ;~) [09:05] Background info: When I run the "Screen and Graphics" tool to change my screen resolution to 640x480, it allows me to select a refresh rate of 52 Hz or 56Hz. Both of these are bogus since I'm using the LCD panel in a laptop. When I select 56Hz, it works as expected. When I select 52Hz, the screen appears stretched vertically. The top edge of the screen is where it should be, but the bottom 1/4 of the desktop has been stretched off of the bott [09:05] om of the display panel. [09:05] The problem: When I run StarCraft in wine, it resizes the display to 640x480 but it chooses the 52Hz option apparently, because the display appears stretched and I can't see the bottom of the game's interface. [09:06] How can I force StarCraft to choose the proper video mode? [09:06] <_KAMI_> Hi! [09:06] when I go to sytem/sound and click on the test button, I get this error = audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.

[09:06] thank you ubotu, bod_ [09:06] erpo, have a look in xorg.conf and see if there is a section showing possible refresh rates. It may be that you can comment out the 52hz option [09:06] On xfce, I made the mistake of re-organizing the menu myself, is there somewhere where I can get the default menu.xml file? [09:06] bye [09:07] <_KAMI_> I found that IcedTea 7 crashes when I want to surf to Java ebabled webpage [09:07] Squawk: There are no modelines in xorg.conf.

[09:09] bod_ : what is it called in Ubuntu [09:09] Ububegin: yes, that's what's ssh designed for, for instance [09:10] odder, i dont understand,. why do i need to make a directory on my ntfs drive? [09:10] Ububegin, i believe a vnc client ,.,.but that might be something entirely different,,.,. there is one however pre installed on ubuntu 7.10 [09:10] odder: but ssh allows GUI also.. or just the termimal [09:10] bod_: not on your ntfs drive, on your / or /home, to have an access through nautilus, for example [09:11] Ububegin: there *is* a possibility to use X through ssh connection. I haven't used it, though. [09:11] Ububegin: You almost certainly want vnc. [09:11] hey anybody has idea how to export the DISPLAY from an SSH server to ur comp [09:11] odder, would ntfs-3g be easier?

[09:13] sergevn, i dont understand your question [09:13] bod_: I have never used that, I always use mount to gain access to my windows partitions, and everything works great [09:13] Please help. I followed countless guides to install flash player plugin on firefox ubuntu x64 and nothing works [09:14] bod_: in home folder, you have the Desktop folder. the mapping to Desktop is gone [09:14] bod_: if i view my gnome desktop, i see contents of my home dir and not my Desktop [09:14] lancerocke: there are huge problems with flash on 64-bit ubuntu, you'd need to install 32-bit firefox version afaik [09:14] odder, but im not understanding why i have to make a folder?? what command do you use?

I know the server is listening on that port but it wont connect, so i assume its a firewall issue. Any ideas how I can find out whats going on? [09:23] i don't know [09:23] Ububegin: You probably should read up on how VNC works. If you're using Ubuntu, your VNC server is probably called vino.

I'm currently trying to run a flavour of ubuntu from a CF-disk (CF>IDE bridge) and I keep getting problems with the disk, such as read/write errors. The odd thing is that I ran a similar system last weekend without any problems at all. The only difference between the two systems is that instead of using ext3 like the working system i now use ext2 (because it is supposed to save my CF-card from unecssary writes). [09:26] chafe what exact card and how did you install driver and which one did you install please [09:26] system-preferences-advanced desktop effects [09:27] makkan: what flavour are you trying to run [09:27] bazhang, nvidia installed with ubuntu screen and graphics gui manager extravaganza [09:27] oddalot: under desktop cube?

[10:05] not much at the moment [10:05] morpheus, nagios [10:06] my graphics act up when I enable compiz [10:06] with ATI driver [10:07] anyone know a posible workaround or hack? [10:07] hey ç [10:07] someone nows about php ? [10:07] hi again [10:07] menganito: a little. [10:07] * Xp-Away (Q-Stats : on AHA () ... : hat 0 mal Op , 0 mal Voice , 0 mal BAN , 0 mal Master , 0 mal Owner und 0 mal Topic ) [10:08] got the manual right here. === Verichip__ is now known as Verichip [10:08] no need manual thx [10:08] some issues or dudes [10:08] manuals will help sometimes [10:08] Seveas: is it part of the repo's? I'm running lamp server, some of the users PC's are hitting 100% CPU, which is strange because the page is PHP and I thought thats all server side proccessing so I need to see what the server is up to [10:08] i made it with apt-get update && upgrade && dist-upgrade ( i remove my running kernel i couldnt do it with other way), (from breezy to dapper) now i have a hp proliant ml370 which kernel to install ? [10:09] i show on synaptic linux-image=26-15-23-386 and a server edition [10:09] menganito: got a URL for me? [10:10] why does evince take over the audio device? [10:10] morpheus, it is but it won't show you which php page is acting up [10:10] salut [10:10] seems like a PDF viewer wouldn't even use the audio device... [10:10] I would try compiling and installing Apache W/PHP manually then run the same page in it. [10:11] seveas: it's more to see if the server is maxxing out trying to deliver the pages or if I've got a network issue [10:11] morpheus, that it can help you with [10:11] morpheus, nagios is for monitoring/alerting, to keep an eye on trends you could use cacti [10:11] http://www.apache.org/ download the source. [10:11] need help with mount. the documentation says, that ubuntu automounts an external harddrive. but if i plug it in during a running system i istn mounted. but if i boot with it its automounted. what do i have do to, that it automounts on "hotplug"? [10:12] seveas: cheers, I'll give it a blasd [10:12] any idea when firefox 3.0b4 will hit gutsy backports? [10:12] blast* [10:12] Hi, I have a laptop (192.168.1.66) and a PC (192.168.1.65) connected via a router to the internet but when I do nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24, I get (6 hosts up), where are they came from!!! [10:14] no idea? [10:14] hey people. mv "somedir" "someotherdir" does that remove a file inside somedir as soon as it is copied to someotherdir or does it only start removing somedir after everything has been copied to someotherdir? [10:16] smokeyd: if the two directories are on the same filesystem it simply changes the location of the directory entry and doesn't touch anything inside it. [10:16] edgy: well 2 + router are 3 not 6 that's for sure... [10:16] no. pumatertion. "cut somedir somotherdir" will do what you say. [10:16] pajamian: they are on different filesystems [10:17] smokeyd, if the directories are on other filesystem the journaling of your file system kicks in i think [10:17] erUSUL: the point is it's from a different network! 0.0/24 not 1.0/24 [10:17] portaenteff, i dont need a copy command. i need a mount help =) [10:18] the other filesystem will be undr "media" of the one your system is in" [10:18] smokeyd, if you want to know what happens if you have a power surge while copying a large file: if you have ext3 and journaling enabled your files are relatively safe [10:18] stefano: ok, but does mv give the remove command only after everything has been copied to the new filesystem or does it give the remove command as soon as a single file is copied to the new filesystem [10:18] does anyone know how to install lucas deskoplet [10:18] ext3 creates a tmp of all transfers [10:19] smokeyd: in that case I'm not sure. I think it does one file at a time, but not sure. [10:19] your ok. [10:19] smokeyd, if you copy a folder with a number of files it does mv for every single file, that is called recursion and it means that every file is deleted as soon as the copying is finishend [10:19] look in tmp I think [10:19] the thing is, my mv command takes a long time (many files) and I want to know if the original dir still contains all files untill the mv command was completed or if gradually files start disappearing from the original dir [10:19] "/tmp" [10:20] ok portamenteff [10:20] smokeyd, just do cp instead of mv, that way you are certain that if anything goes wrong, no data will be lost [10:20] stefano: :) that is the easy way indeed [10:20] could have though of that myself [10:20] help [10:20] oh you mean if a reboot uccurs, or a crash. try it out. look in "/tmp" it's usually where i find my lost files [10:20] smokeyd, if anything goes wrong, have a look into the directory lost+found on the mount point directory of your drive. but normally that is not nessecarry [10:21] does anyone have lukas deskoplet [10:21] rybotsky: no but it sounds cool. :) [10:22] as far as I can see now, all files are kept in the original dir untill mv completed copying everything to the new dir [10:22] so mv is also pretty safe [10:22] it would be safe regardless === freeman__ is now known as freeman [10:23] i think mv -r removes them as they go if i remember. i could be wrong. [10:23] does anyone know how to get the program bar across the bottom of the screen like in mac os [10:24] rybotsky: i got that in Kubuntu but not gnome. [10:24] Hi, is the standard GNOME keyring called "login" [10:24] ? [10:24] it may be possible though. [10:24] what is it called [10:24] I seem unable to access mine [10:24] even though I have logged in [10:25] portamenteff what is it called [10:26] "panels" are you using gnome? [10:26] ya i think [10:26] you can configure and shape and size the panels [10:26] not panels [10:26] is the button at the bottom right corner have a "K"? [10:26] u know the thing at the bottom of the screen in mac os x [10:27] if not your using gnome [10:27] rybotsky, there are a number of how-tos on the forum to get a macos-like toolbar [10:27] that has the program shortcuts on it [10:27] Yes rybotsky. [10:27] how do u get it [10:28] let me check the gui. i'll find it. [10:28] k thnx [10:29] rybotsky, try right-clicking on the existing menubar/toolbar and looking at the toolbar properties [10:29] heya guys any one here know why my shout cast server wont start in ubuntu 7.10 server it keeps saying "no such file or directory" and yes i spellt the file name right [10:29] (i'm not using gnome so I'm going from memory) [10:30] rybotsky: i can't seem to find the panel manger. i'll get back on that. I KNOW you can change the shape and size of panels though. [10:30] hey people. Another question. Is it not allowed to execute bash scripts in nfs mounted directories? [10:31] portamenteff, rybotsky: right click on the panel and choose "properties" [10:31] I think [10:31] I am running Xubuntu now though, so I can't check [10:32] duh. lol [10:32] i should have known [10:32] heh [10:32] thats what I said! [10:33] :) [10:33] should it be possible to restrict directories to UserAliases in proftpd? or does it have to be a system user? [10:33] it just worked in gnome too though. [10:34] sebrock: not the answer you want, but i'll say it anyway: don't use ftp. it is unsafe. Rather use sftp (ssh file transfer). Abouth your question, I don't know, sorry [10:35] ftpd is also a PITA to get working properly behind a firewall or NAT [10:35] hello [10:36] in my dmesg i get this text: [10:36] x88[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver. You can [10:36] your talking about transfering files between users on one system? [10:36] cx88[0]: try to pick one of the existing card configs vi [10:36] cx88[0]: card= insmod option. Updating to the latest [10:36] anyone know what insmod is? [10:36] or how to select it? [10:36] coz i see my card in the list [10:39] insmod is to insert modules into the kernel. i don't know it well enough to help. [10:39] smokeyd: hehe, FTP is way faster than sftp and is a more common standard than sftp aswell. Also if set up correctly it is perfectly safe. Specially proFTPd. [10:39] :) [10:40] ok you thought it through [10:40] :) [10:46] I removed the following file: rm -rf .gconfd/ .gnome2* .local/ [10:46] But gnome still remember for my wallpaper settings. [10:46] How is it possible? [10:47] i just ran "man mv" the option "mv -b" will create a backup. [10:47] on a new install, there's this repo in the sources.list, well a bunch of them, and the comments say these are major bugfixes after a release. Once you've updated after the initial install, can these repos be removed? [10:47] I can't find where gnome store some settings. Wallpaper, number of desktops... [10:48] I would like to reconfigure my gnome desktop from scratch. [10:48] portamenteff: I think that -b creates a backup of a file in the target location before overwriting it. [10:49] for example: deb ...ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted & /gutsy-updates main restricted [10:49] sahin-h: click "preferences" then "appearance" [10:49] its a tab in there [10:50] portamenteff: I know that way. I would like to clean all of my settings. [10:50] portamenteff: I would like to use gnome as a newly created user. [10:51] "defaults" then [10:51] it comes out of the box that way [10:51] /etc/inittab disappead in hardy . WTH is it gone ? Is this related the new init system upstart ? [10:51] sahin_h: off the top of my head, ~/.gconf/ ~/.gnome/ and possibly ~/.gnome2/ are the directories gnome stores configuration [10:51] sahin_h: did you rm -f those directories while in a gnome session that is logged into the user that you want to clear out? [10:51] geirha: I took the same. [10:52] pajamian: Nope. I logget out first. [10:52] in terminal "sudo adduser" [10:52] pajamian: After from the console I erased these files. [10:52] sahin_h: ok. [10:52] sahin_h: I don't believe your list included .gnome [10:53] pajamian: I don't have .gnome direcory. [10:53] sahin_h: hm, then it's probably easiest to rename your homedir, remove your user with deluser, and recreate your user with adduser (using the same uid and gid), then selectively copying the files from your old home to your new one [10:53] In Software Sources of the Administration menu I turned on ubuntu-security and ubuntu-recommended, is that ok? [10:54] geirha: Yes, I think this is the only and painful way what is left for me. [10:54] wait- you gotto go "su" (root password) then adduser. sorry [10:55] portamenteff, pajamian, geirha! Thanks anyway! [10:55] portamenteff: ubuntu doesn't give root a password by default, and it shouldn't have one, so sudo is the way to go [10:56] I'm having a problem with Mplayer hue/contrast: "having adjusted the hue/contrast previously, what's an easy way to set them all back to neutral? [10:56] use xvattr" [10:56] What values in xvattr do I use to reset? [10:57] i tried sudo adduser and got "only one or two names allowed" [10:57] i tried su (i am root) and it worked. [10:58] portamenteff: works for me, you can get a root shell with sudo though, just use sudo -i or sudo -s [10:58] hmmm. didn't knwo that [10:59] its past my bedtime. [11:00] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 and it comes with Pidgin 2.2.1, but I want to upgrade to 2.4.0... Is there something I can type, or can I just download and install from the Pidgin website? [11:01] you should be able to get the updated installer from getdeb.net [11:01] http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [11:02] BubblegumTate, Rhodetrem: Thanks, I'll bookmark that for future referencee. [11:02] BubblegumTate, Rhodetrem: So should I uninstall the old one first or just install the package I get from getdeb.net? [11:03] the package should install over it [11:03] using magics [11:04] yeah you should be fine to install over, but when you upgrade again from getdeb I would uninstall/install "Note please remove your current version before installing the new version." [11:05] you might want to check the first comment here: http://www.getdeb.net/comment.php?rel_id=2259 [11:05] Rhodetrem: Oh yah, just saw that. So I'll uninstall Pidgin... Oh man, it's in 3 different pieces, how confusing. >_< [11:06] welcome to Linux :P [11:07] I'm having a real fun time trying to install onto a compaq presario I just got second hand [11:07] it keeps ding at 40% while copying files [11:08] I've just written a third disk [11:08] i've tried downloading some torrents - i tried two completely different torrents with [completely legal, of course :)] mp3 content, and both times the mp3's i've opened have been a random mix of bits and pieces of the other ones.. this is just opening the files while the torrent is still downloading though - but i don't see why this would occur in any case... anyone know if this is just some strangeness of the half-downloaded files, or if the torrent program i [11:08] and I'm running hard drive diagnostics [11:08] that's weird [11:08] BubblegumTate: have you run the CD-check too? [11:09] yeah [11:09] what package do I install to make with g++ ? [11:09] it came up with one file borked [11:09] jimcooncat: build-essential [11:09] build-essential [11:09] thanks! [11:09] that's wh I burnt another [11:10] is anyone familiar with this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/32963/+index but with (S)MPlayer? [11:12] <|linderox|> i have a problem with a network... ping to any site works well,but traceroute doesn't only to my local proxy server... [11:12] llama32: it's just how bittorrent work. It downloads random bits of the files, not sequentially. So the files are basically a big mess untill they're 100% complete [11:12] llama32: Uh, torrents are downloaded in slices and pieces. They aren't downloaded starting at the beginningof the song, so you are hearing the bits and pieces that have been downloaded so far... Just wait for it to finish. =_= [11:14] Shoopuf: but each file is bits from a different song.. i just don't see why the program would save them like that as it's downloading, is all :) [11:14] this disk seems to have the same thing wrong! Checking the disk for defects came back with one file off again [11:14] I have Ubunto installed on my laptop and it goes crazy anyone know where i can find a driver for it? [11:15] anyone know about wireless security settings? like here ssid is disabled. using wpa2-psk. is that pretty good? [11:15] I have Ubunto installed on my laptop and my mouse goes crazy anyone know where i can find a driver for it? [11:15] xgreenoughx: what do you mean by crazy [11:15] thanks geirha & Shoopuf :) [11:15] my mouse [11:15] im sorry forgot to add that lol [11:15] weird.. synaptics touhpad? [11:15] yes [11:15] !mouse | xgreenoughx [11:15] xgreenoughx: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [11:15] my synaptics touchpad stopped working for some reason [11:16] im not on my computer with linux [11:16] xgreenoughx: aye, but is it a touchpad or a mouse? [11:16] touch [11:16] !touchpad | xgreenoughx, This might help you diagnose the problem with the touchpad [11:16] xgreenoughx, This might help you diagnose the problem with the touchpad: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [11:16] what the botsaid [11:17] so, if I've burnt two copies of an iso and each has failed the disk check in the same way [11:17] what are the odds that the iso is faulty? [11:17] Anyone else's "Volume Slider" really sluggish when moving it up and down? It's reacting abnormally. [11:17] is there a md5sum for it [11:18] BubblegumTate: check the md5sum [11:18] !md5sum | BubblegumTate [11:18] BubblegumTate: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [11:19] BubblegumTate, what speed are you burning at? if its the ubuntu install iso's its normally recommended to burn at a slower speed [11:19] im picking up this linux stuff. very slowly. slow like the way sand accumulates on a snails butt as it crawls across a rock [11:20] hello there [11:20] I'm using the apple disk utility, I'm not really sure [11:20] Hello [11:20] is it relevant that I'm burning it onto dvds? [11:20] I've just installed ubuntu 48 hours ago [11:21] Can not get the LCD TV to work [11:21] Using an S-Video cable [11:21] geirha... the md5 is totally different [11:22] BubblegumTate: check the md5sum first. You need to open a terminal and run the command 'md5 file.iso' on Mac OS X [11:22] I just checked it [11:22] hi all [11:22] BubblegumTate: did you compare it with the published one? [11:22] I just installed gproftpd and i cant seem to get it to work any help for this [11:22] yeah [11:22] hi tpfennig [11:22] 7194503820926a495163fec7646cb972 ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [11:23] BubblegumTate: then you should re-download [11:23] that's why one [11:23] *my [11:23] xchat-gnome doesnt have an icon? [11:23] yeah, I'm doing that now === vix is now known as vix85 [11:28] does " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" fix so i can see DVD???? [11:28] anyone know anything about Atom/RSS feed generation? I'd like to find a command-line tool that will manipulate an XML file [11:28] It seems like one of my computer at home have changed IP address from my DHCP. I want to find out what the new IP number can be. [11:28] Am looking for a ping utility that can ping a subnet i specify. Please advice. [11:28] Hello. When I press ctrl-k in rhytmbox, where does the playlist go? =) [11:28] Blinkiz: did you try ping? [11:29] advice is a noun, you mean "please advise" [11:29] kennethr: Oh, can "normal" ping handle subnet as argument? [11:29] Blinkiz: yes, with -b (broadcast) [11:29] Blinkiz: use the -b [11:29] hello, I'd like to ask whether we will have an update for the gnome desktop [11:30] Blinkiz: but a firewall might stop a system from responding [11:30] Is there a way for me to ssh into a remote machine and cause it to hibernate? [11:30] ciphergoth: an ubuntu machine? [11:30] Zvezdichko, Eventually yes, but the current focus is the next release [11:31] the new ati driver officially rocks [11:31] hmmm... [11:31] Sooo, how do I use this -b argument? Should I write something like "ping 192.168.2.255 -b"? [11:31] new? how new? [11:31] kennethr: yews [11:31] I know that some day I'll have to upgrade to hardy [11:31] 8.42.3 [11:31] but it's even not in beta status [11:31] kennethr: an Ubuntu Gutsy laptop [11:31] Blinkiz: man ping [11:31] Zvezdichko, Assuming you meant the new gnome and not ubuntu-desktop [11:32] soundray: Already done that [11:32] hi, does anyone know a command to search recursively through a directory for a file that contains a certain string? [11:32] vircuser: find [11:32] and grep [11:33] Blinkiz: ping -b [11:33] vircuser: You can always use the find command. Like "find mydir/ -iname *thestring*" [11:33] kennethr: never mind - turns out I haven't installed openssh-server on that machine anyway. [11:33] does -iname mean it searches inside the file? [11:34] can someone please help me [11:34] vircuser: no [11:34] my internet doesn't start in recovery mod [11:34] mode* [11:34] vircuser: use grep [11:34] kennethr: I am on a different subnet that the computer I want to ping. Will it still work? [11:34] Maybe someone know a program that can ping a subnet instead? [11:34] ok will try with grep [11:34] vircuser: grep -r to recurse through subdirectories [11:34] thx [11:34] Blinkiz: what are you really attempting to do? [11:34] !de [11:34] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [11:34] It seems like one of my computer at home have changed IP address from my DHCP.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [11:35] !kernel [11:35] 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 [11:35] Blinkiz: do you administrate the DHCP server? [11:35] Blinkiz: why don't you just go ahead and ping the broadcast address from the subnet, wherever you are [11:36] can someone please help me .... i've curently messed up my system and i'm trying to install the desktop file again but in text mode my pc has no net [11:36] soundray: So will that be "ping -b 192.168.2.255" on my 192.168.2.0 network? I am currently on the network 172.27.213.0. [11:36] Blinkiz: ping!!! see above [11:36] ForsakenSoul, messed up in what way [11:36] Blinkiz: TRY! [11:36] Jack_sparrow doesn't want to load the gui [11:36] soundray: Nothing answered when I did that [11:37] it doesn't even want to load the GDM in the beggining [11:37] Blinkiz: ping. see above [11:37] so I deleted the desktop file and was trying to install it again but ... i have no net [11:37] ForsakenSoul: what is the "desktop file"? [11:37] kennethr: What do you mean? I have runned "ping -b 192.168.2.255" without any good result [11:37] well [11:38] ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop [11:38] these files [11:38] i mean [11:38] ForsakenSoul, You mean something like this rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [11:38] only kubuntu-desktop because i'm using kubuntu but no one is actually answering there [11:38] ForsakenSoul: those are packages, and they aren't strictly necessary. [11:39] Blinkiz: do you run the DHCP server? Is the DHCP server a linux box or is it your router? or is it a DHCP server from your Internet Service PRovider? [11:39] ForsakenSoul: to reinstall a package, run 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename'. You don't have to be connected if the package is still in the cache. [11:39] Blinkiz: what (physically) is the DHCP server? [11:39] ForsakenSoul, ah But you can get to recovery mode cli? [11:40] yeah i can get to recovery mode [11:40] Morning Soundray [11:40] kennethr: Yes, I can login to the DHCP server and see what IP number that my stationary computer has. But I feel that writing a line in a prompt is far more faster. [11:40] Jack_Sparrow: Captain! [11:40] an overeager admin deleted /etc/init.d/mysql; i'm trying to reinstall it, but none of the mysql packages seem to reinstall it (for instance, mysql-server-5.0 claims to own it, but reinstalling it doesn't recover the file, nor purging, etc) [11:40] Is there a "Notepad++" or "EditPlus" equivelant for Ubuntu text editors? [11:40] nevermind who the overeager admin was :p [11:40] ForsakenSoul, sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop does nothing? [11:41] soundray i've already removed the package and can't installed it i tryed apt-get install pacakge [11:41] Blinkiz: you can set the DHCP server to always assign the same address to your computer. Just assign by MAC address [11:41] Jack_sparrow shows me that it can't fetch the repository [11:41] ForsakenSoul: read carefully! You need to use the --reinstall option [11:41] add install to that line [11:41] yep.. [11:41] Blinkiz: does that make sense [11:41] Listen to soundray.. he is awake.. [11:41] kennethr: I know, but that is NOT my question today! [11:42] soundray .. so if i already have autoremoved the package ? [11:42] Jack_Sparrow: only just [11:42] shoopuf - what's wrong with gedit? [11:42] 4am here..brb gonna grab my coffee [11:42] ForsakenSoul: it's still in the cache [11:42] Blinkiz: OK, what is your objective and what is your question and what is your favorite color. ;) [11:42] kennethr: Whatever. Found the program "nmap" that will do what am looking for. "nmap -sP 192.168.2.0/24" [11:42] i kinda like it ;) Got all those flashy colors in the code [11:43] kennethr: Blue is a nice color :-) [11:43] does anyone know where to get a driver for LG Widescreen L192WS ...... absolute beginner here........ [11:43] * ross isn't getting anyone's attention :p [11:44] tried googling......... [11:44] iso does ubuntu install? [11:44] isotropicspin, no driver needed, just the right v/h settings put into the xorg [11:44] there is a change screen resolution utility [11:44] yeah and everything makes it go crazy [11:45] isotropicspin, please type this in a term sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [11:45] Add shift to the ctrl-v to paste into a term [11:46] what pastbinit? [11:46] isotropicspin, It will give you a link to give to use so we can help you [11:46] what's [11:46] !pastebin | vircuser [11:46] vircuser: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:46] ah [11:46] erm..

Which site does it post to by default? [11:48] soundray, the authors "Stacy" but you can point it to others (NOt all) with -b option [11:49] sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit -b http://pastebin.ca I think os the format... [11:49] is [11:49] Jack_Sparrow: doesn't work with the ubuntu-nl one -- still neat [11:49] typed it in what do you need from it? [11:49] fat fingers sorry [11:50] soundray, she had trouble with the java code on the site.. but I am trying to modify the canoe code and edit her source.. in my spare time :) [11:50] isotropicspin, just the link it gives you web address [11:52] the web address for????????.......... [11:52] isotropicspin, I can follow you now while things are slow.. but when we are busy type a few letters of my name then hit tab to complete it.. [11:52] I just downloaded ANOTHER 7.10 iso and it's got yet another different md5 hash! [11:52] W TF? [11:52] Jack_Sparrow: that's great, keep it up :) [11:52] Jack... ok. The web address for what? To get drivers? [11:53] isotropicspin, that command I gave when typed in a term returns a number that we need in order to help you [11:53] jack .... 1517 [11:53] isotropicspin, the entire thing please [11:54] hello [11:54] jack... paste.stgrabber.org/1517 [11:54] isotropicspin, Highlight in your terminal using the mouse then shift ctrl c to copy then ctrl-v to paste into your irc clientthank you [11:54] how do I prevent some files in /usr/bin from updating or ever changing automagically? [11:54] http://paste.stgraber.org/1517 [11:55] to be more exact I mean symlinks like gcc g++ etc. [11:55] hey my sudo doesn't work anymore [11:55] i get .aliases: command not found [11:55] any ideas? [11:55] jack my IRC client doesn't let me paste !!!!!!!!!1 but the address is the same as soundray and I gave [11:55] see above [11:56] mitch_: what did you do to bring this about? [11:56] isotropicspin, np... you can go there and see that your setup has no resolutions defined.. [11:56] sound ray nothing [11:57] jack, ok what does that mean (Linux n00b here!!!!!!!!! ) [11:57] I had it yesterday and then I put my computer to sleep [11:57] and today I was messing with themes [11:57] Hi all. Where is the Firefox Bookmarks file? I backup it up a while back and forgot where it was [11:57] hi all === david_ is now known as djones [11:58] i'm having problem seeing an ipod in linux what can i do? === djones is now known as dave [11:58] mitch_: did you quote the exact error message above? [11:58] djones.... freaky man you have the same initial as me === dave is now known as dtj [11:58] isotropicspin, http://paste.stgraber.org/1518 is my edited version with my widescreen basic res included SOundray.. double check that please [11:58] yes [11:59] lancerocke, you can use the search, find or locate toold to oddly enough find or locate it :) [11:59] wow found anick that is not owned [11:59] can ipod work without iTunes? [12:00] Jack_Sparrow: they aren't widescreen modes. I'd have advised to use dpkg-reconfigure [12:00] hmm [12:00] Jack_Sparrow: search never finds anything for me [12:00] I create a launcher in desktop, but I need sudo to run the program. I don't know how to combine the password in the command line [12:00] is it possible to launch a scan on default config from bash with SANE? === elmo__ is now known as dee_ === dee_ is now known as _dee_ [12:00] it should work without itunes [12:00] jack, soundary, is it possible to solve this problem by installing a driver in "restricted drivers manager" thats there? [12:00] lancerocke, default is /home/yourusername [12:01] soundray, 1280x960 is this systems default wide.... [12:01] <_dee_> i've created a user account on my ubuntu system. I've tried connecting to my ubuntu computer via my windows computer (using PuttY). When i enter the login details. it gives me Access Denied message. And i dont know why? [12:01] Jack_Sparrow: ~/Bookmarks.html? [12:02] lancerocke, it could have been named anything [12:02] Jack_Sparrow: that's 4:3 though. Wide is either 16:9 or 16:10 [12:02] isotropicspin, no a driver would not help this [12:03] soundary, jack, I have a feeling default for screen is 1440 X 900 [12:03] _dee_: you need to 'sudo apt-get install ssh' on the ubuntu system [12:03] <_dee_> i did sudo apt-get openssh-server [12:03] soundray, This is a common resolution for a mid range widescreen display. A standard 4:3 LCD monitor will display a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 [12:03] hi, is there a german support channel? [12:04] isotropicspin, we can add that one as well [12:04] !german [12:04] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [12:04] Jack_Sparrow: no, 1280x1024 is 5:4 [12:05] any ideas? [12:05] jack, soundray, where do i post that file. do i edit xorg.conf? [12:05] isotropicspin, http://paste.stgraber.org/1519 [12:05] <_dee_> soundray : it says Setting up ssh [12:06] _dee_: when it's done, you'll be able to connect through putty [12:06] <_dee_> soundray : how do i know when its done? [12:06] <_dee_> i'm sorry i'm a complete newb to linux [12:06] _dee_: the $ prompt comes back [12:06] I made a new computer for my sister and Ubuntu now freezes very early in the boot process (right at the beginning of the task bar). Is there any way to get more info about what's going on? Alt-F1 gives only, "Starting up... Loading, please wait..." [12:06] <_dee_> yeah.. its done that [12:07] soundray, there is also a 1280x800 [12:07] <_dee_> soundray : still doesnt work. When i use Putty. it connects to my computer. But refuses entry. Says access Denied [12:07] Jack_Sparrow: that's 16:10 (=wide) [12:07] <_dee_> like i'm entering the incorrect username/password. But i'm not [12:08] _dee_: try if you can ssh from your ubuntu box to itself: 'ssh localhost' [12:08] mitch_: I haven't got any specific advice. Maybe boot in recovery mode and run 'apt-get --reinstall install sudo' [12:08] isotropicspin, Yes use gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf confirm soundray as he seems to trust you more [12:09] <_dee_> soundray : it says: Linux Home 2.6 blah blah [12:09] <_dee_> soundray : it looks like it works thru the shell [12:10] _dee_: can you ping your Ubuntu box from the Windows one? [12:10] <_dee_> let me try [12:10] isotropicspin: confirm :) [12:10] isotropicspin, write this down sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max rex. Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults [12:10] dgj [12:10] soundray, i just dropped in ... what'd he do? break sudo? [12:10] <_dee_> soundray : yep pings fine. its got to do something with the login . i just dnot understand [12:11] hi all [12:11] _dee_, try sudo iptables -L [12:11] isotropicspin, If you ever get locked out after editing that file, you can use that command to reset things and get back basic gui desktop [12:11] has anyone tried ffx 3 b4? [12:11] hischild: it seems so, although he claims to not have done anything. The error was '.aliases: command not found' [12:12] s One letter nicks will get old with highlighting [12:12] <_dee_> dtj: this is what i get http://pastebin.com/m1dfe814b [12:12] soundray, can he use sudo in general? [12:12] i wanna know bt non-vistaish ffx3b4 in ubuntu???????? [12:12] _dee_, its not that then [12:12] s Yes people have used it.. some had problems but seemed minor [12:12] <_dee_> dtj: i know :( its weird as. [12:13] <_dee_> someone said it had to do with sshd_config [12:13] hischild: no... [11:55] hey my sudo doesn't work anymore [12:13] who doesnt ubotu know anything about netbeans :( [12:13] Anyone able to tell me what the 'power up in standby' jumper pins on the back of sata2 hdd's are used for? whether or not i should jumper them [12:13] soundray, i c .... [12:13] woo hhooo [12:14] i just installed gutsy server, and whenever i run apt-get install, it demands i put in a cd. i've fixed that in sources.list, but is that typical behavior? [12:14] Or the channel i SHOULD be using for this question? :$ [12:14] Flynsarmy, I never jumper any sata's [12:14] Shoopuf, what do you want to know about netbeans? [12:14] lunaphyte_, if you install without a network connection at the time, yes. [12:14] Flynsarmy: sounds like something that decides wether the drive keeps spinning in standby or not.. but I'm just guessing [12:14] lunaphyte_: if u installed from cd the cd remains as source in the sources.list [12:14] lunaphyte_: simply remove it (should be at the top of the file) and run "apt-get update" [12:14] kane77: Can I easily install and run the latest NetBeans version? [12:15] <_dee_> should sshd normally work ? [12:15] the wiki seems to be out of date, or doesnt work [12:15] <_dee_> without much configuration? [12:15] _dee_: your sshd is working. You've proven that. [12:15] Shoopuf, it is not in the repository afaik, but it is not hard to install it... [12:15] hmm sudo not working, did he get removed from the admin group, or did something happen with visudo? [12:15] _dee_: sshd normally works.. there's some stuff to configure.. but it's not that hard [12:15] oops [12:15] soundray, you probably already checked this ... but did he pastebin his sudo file? [12:15] Shoopuf, the "repos" will always be a bit behind.. but will be stable and tested [12:15] CaBa|: yeah i did, i was just curious. how would someone not install from a cd? [12:15] <_dee_> then i wonder why the login isnt working [12:15] <_dee_> >_< [12:15] _dee_: where did you get the output you pastebinned? [12:15] lunaphyte_: using debootstrap for example [12:16] _dee_: trying to login to another computer where sshd is running? [12:16] _dee_: any errors? [12:16] <_dee_> soundray : by typing sudo iptables -L [12:16] CaBa|: hmm. [12:16] i wanna know bt non-vistaish ffx3b4 in ubuntu???????? [12:16] lunaphyte_: i also dont know why the source remains in sources.list when you install the server from cd, but not if you install the workstation from cd [12:16] Shoopuf, you just need to download the archive, extract it and run the instalation file... [12:16] <_dee_> Slart i've only got 1 SSHD computer. (My Ubuntu system). and i've got a windows xp system [12:16] Jack, soundray...I trust you both equally!.... ok i did that.... what next? [12:17] CaBa|: yeah. well, i guess you get what you pay or ;) [12:17] lunaphyte_: maybe they considered that more useful for servers... whatever :P [12:17] *pay for. [12:17] s: you want to know what? bt? non-vistaish? ffx3b4 = firefox 3 beta 4?.. electrons are cheap.. use more of them [12:17] isotropicspin, cross fingers, log out and back in.. with that other command written down and handy [12:17] lunaphyte_: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list go down about 3 or 4 lines and put a # in front of the deb that says cdrom in it [12:17] _dee_: sounds like a normal setup... what happens when you try to login? [12:17] then it will not annoy you anymore [12:17] electrons? [12:17] jack, ooooooo... i already did that command.... is that bad? [12:17] _dee_: you did remember that usernames are case-sensitive? [12:18] RoadHazard: we are beyond that since longer ;) [12:18] RoadHazard: he simply wants to complain that it _was_ there [12:18] ;) [12:18] isotropicspin, the sudo dpkg one ? [12:18] s: elaborate.. type more stuff.. explain more [12:18] bah [12:18] <_dee_> soundray : Yes [12:18] <_dee_> Slart : Keeps giving me a Access Denied [12:18] s: I can hardly understand what you asked for [12:18] <_dee_> and i promise you i'm typing it correctly. case sensetive [12:18] yy [12:18] hayy [12:18] _dee_: are you using putty on the xp machine? [12:19] <_dee_> Slart Yes [12:19] jack... yes [12:19] slart,i installed ffx3b4 but i cant see its vistaish icons on toolbar? [12:19] isotropicspin, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit so I can look at it [12:19] jack.... i am silly? did i only need to do the first one then log out? [12:19] but in xp i see them [12:19] _dee_, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is there PasswordAuthentication variable set to no? [12:19] jack.... ok will do. [12:19] _dee_: and you've configured sshd to listen on an external interface.. I think it just listens to localhost by default [12:19] isotropicspin, That was a failsafe setting just in case... [12:20] Can anyone help me get an apple2 emulator working? I've installed apple][ and xapple2 neither work. I googled and found out about kegs but I can't even get that to make. Any ideas? [12:20] slart,u used ffx3b4? [12:20] so is grub 2 really grub version 1.95..? [12:20] jack... ok well i will just redo what you first suggested and then log out [12:20] _dee_: does it really say 'access denied' or is it 'connection refused'? [12:20] s: ah.. I just tried the firefox beta.. I didn't get any vistaish icons either.. it might be a windows thing [12:20] jack is that a good idea? [12:20] Slart, no, if you're talking about openssh-server, it also listens to internet connections if they're forwarded [12:20] <_dee_> soundray : Access Denied [12:20] no offer now? [12:21] anyone know how to get usb devices to automatically mount at startup? they automount any other time just fine... [12:21] hischild: huh? you route the connection from the external interface to localhost? is that some kind of security thing? [12:21] _dee_: is that in the putty terminal, or does it come up as a dialog? [12:21] _dee_, Slart: i don't think sshd listens to localhost only by default. is there an 'AllowedUsers' directive in sshd_config, maybe? [12:21] isotropicspin, we need to make sure your xorg still looks like this http://paste.stgraber.org/1519 [12:21] * Slart hasn't installed sshd in a long time.. hard to remember the defaults =) [12:21] <_dee_> soundray : Putty terminal [12:21] Slart, no, sshd listens to both local and external connections by default (it did for me ... ) [12:22] _dee_: ah. [12:22] isotropicspin, from term gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:22] Slart: i opened up my freshly-installed config, too ;-) [12:22] <_dee_> ok take a look at my sshd_config [12:22] <_dee_> hold on [12:22] _dee_: I think you've used sudo to change something in your $HOME/.ssh -- do a 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME/.ssh' to fix that [12:22] jack.... i can check [12:23] jack... if its the same should i go ahead and then relogin and cross fingers? [12:23] _dee_: can you pastebin your /etc/ssh/sshd_config .. so we can stop worrying about what is default or not =) [12:23] isotropicspin, if it matches.. yes [12:24] take a look at this guys: http://pastebin.com/m1bb5408b [12:24] jack.... ok thanks ALOT! if its the same I will probably not be back...... so if i am not THANKS!!!!!!! [12:24] dee_, Please dont post a link without a description of the problem [12:24] what is the comand to rename file by terminal [12:24] isotropicspin, we will be here [12:24] suxxor: mv [12:24] Jack_Sparrow: it's been discussed extensively [12:25] soundray, ok.. missed it [12:25] !flash [12:25] 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 [12:25] dee sorry [12:25] dee_: looks pretty OK. dumb question: the sshd is running, isn't it? [12:25] I was just installing some updates - and my compiz froze on me, I had to hard reboot.. My question is, how do i continue those updates?.. I've disabled compiz for now [12:25] soundray, I just saw the join and then the paste [12:25] gnome power manager things my laptop is plugged into the mains when it isn't [12:25] tobiwan_, he can connect from locahost [12:25] any idea how to fix that? [12:25] richard sudo dpkg --configure -a [12:25] ah [12:26] !gnash | drugon [12:26] :< [12:26] tobiwan_: using the loopback interface? or the external ip? [12:26] sorry [12:26] i was also a bit surprised to see gutsy insisted on installing lilo as the bootloader. [12:26] tobiwan_ : the sshd is running yes [12:26] Slart: sorry? [12:26] RoadHazard: I had to install xchat to get here, but does the installation pick up - if I had any aborted ones, then install the application? [12:26] anyone have any idea how to get usb devices and cdroms to mount at startup? I have the cdrom drive in the fstab but no dice [12:26] dee_: what does /var/log/auth.log say about the failed login? [12:26] dtj, tobiwan_, _dee_: "he can connect from localhost" ... using the loopback interface? or the external ip? [12:27] lunaphyte_, what file system did you specify for /boot? [12:27] lunaphyte_, that gutsy was not our gutsy.. must be one of the variations [12:27] Someone mentioned once that there was a script that could be run to install libdvdcss support... after you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras that is. Does anyone know the name of the script to run? I'm aware of medibuntu, I want to try to find this script. [12:27] jeff, Soundray.xactly the same........ ok cross fingers...... thanks ALOT! [12:27] richard: yes if you installed something after the crash it should pick up where it left off in dpkg [12:27] !medibuntu | ArthurArchnix [12:27] ArthurArchnix: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:27] RoadHazard: ah, okey, thanks [12:27] !css | ArthurArchnix [12:27] ArthurArchnix: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [12:27] tobiwan_, Slart, hischild: let's summarize dee_'s problem: sshd is running (can connect from localhost), it's NOT refusing the connection from Windows (says 'access denied' in the terminal rather than Connection refused in a dialog). That to me points to a file ownership problem, probably in ~/.ssh [12:28] hischild: i did a single partition for / , on lvm, on md. [12:28] soundray: have we eliminated a firewall issue? [12:28] lunaphyte_, with what file system? [12:28] dee_: is your home directory world-writeable? [12:28] RoadHazard: yes [12:28] soundray: telnet to port 22, you should get some text [12:28] ArthurArchnix, Please avoid using a script to do that [12:28] soundray, and have you also suggested to try and login via pub/priv key? [12:28] thanks erawfish this is the link I was looking for... sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville [12:29] Jack_Sparrow: it was on official install disc from ubuntu.com [12:29] ArthurArchnix: afaik this won't work and will hose you. your call tho [12:29] hischild: oh, sorry - ext3. [12:29] erawfish: suggest it to dee_ please [12:29] soundray, and what program? putty? did he select ssh from the 4 radio buttons? [12:29] hischild: no [12:29] hi [12:29] soundray: was distracted by your summary [12:29] Really? Why would this method be suggested by ubotu if it could hose my system? [12:29] hischild: ah, good one. dee_, did you see that? ^^ [12:30] erawfish: ^^ [12:30] lunaphyte_, If you were surprised that it installed lilo then you obiviously did not specifically tell it to setup lilo.. was it the alternate cd? [12:30] Werdna: i'm not too sure [12:30] soundray, dee_: well, strictly speaking you can use ssh without having a .ssh directory at the server.... [12:30] yes i did select SSH from the 4 buttons [12:31] Jack_Sparrow: no, the regular one. i'm looking at the iso file sitting on my computer - the file name is ubuntu-7.10-server-i386. [12:31] soundray, a less elegant approach .... use nmap to scan his linux box to see if it is actually open [12:31] hello, I just installed an ubuntu 7.10 + xmms + xmms-mp4 + faad etc but I can't get some aacplus streams to play..is there any workaround for this ? (I don't want another player); a stream example woudl be: http://deea.duras.ro:8000. Thanks [12:31] i just dont understand why this is happening [12:31] dee_: did you try to telnet? [12:31] ill try telnet hold on [12:31] is this a corect command apt-file search libglib-2.0-0.dll? i am searching the package that contains this file [12:31] soundray: you might try having him change the "PasswordAuthentication" variable from no to yes then /etc/init.d/ssh restart [12:31] dee_: have you checked the logs? [12:32] simion314: sounds correct to me [12:32] simion314: there is no such package. linux has no "DLLs" [12:32] lunaphyte_, server is the key... grub is the default for livecd desktop... server has both available last time I checked [12:32] faq [12:32] simion314: well.. apart from the dll thingy.. that is =) [12:32] erawfish : i did telnet. it connects. still says incorrect login [12:32] Jack_Sparrow, you sure? i think that if you specify xfs as filesystem it'll go to lilo as boot loader ... [12:32] dee_: it says "ssh " ? [12:33] * soundray stands back... too much help won't help [12:33] hischild: grub can do xfs just fine [12:33] i need to find the package that contains that file, i belive that is in some package [12:33] erawfish, if you specify it on the alternate it'll give you a red screen saying it fails most of the time during install [12:33] erawfish it says "busybox on (none) login:" [12:33] Hey guys - Ubuntu just choked on a package, it won't finish installing nor can I remove it. Dpkg -r won't get rid of it either, how do I force this thing to die? [12:33] is there a way to find out in which package a file is placed? [12:33] hey, i want to run a java application in 7.10, but it say: Engine "ubuntulooks" is unsupported, ignoring [12:33] dee_: huh? on port 22? [12:33] familiar sudo dpkg --configure -a [12:34] hischild: I ran linux from XFS with debian myself before. was fine [12:34] erawfish : did u want me to telnet or ssh? [12:34] telnet to port 22 [12:34] familiar: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and 'sudo apt-get -f install' [12:34] erawfish, with /boot on xfs? [12:34] hischild, xfs ... yes... [12:34] and if you have in.telnetd running: stop it NOW! === obvio171_ is now known as obvio [12:34] hischild: with / and /boot on xfs yes [12:34] ok let me try [12:35] Jack_Sparrow, erawfish, last time i've tried to use xfs as / without a /boot, it would just fail for me during install ... though it might be different now [12:35] soundray: thanks. I knew there was a way, I'm just really not used to apt. :) [12:35] rblst: do you have the jre or jdk installed? [12:35] see /boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5 [12:35] erawfish : SSH-2.0openSSH_3.6p1 [12:35] _dee_, i think it is worth uncommenting PasswordAuthentication field in sshd_config and setting to yes [12:35] RoadHazard: yes, i guess so [12:36] dtj : okay let me try [12:36] ok, it'S the login. ssh files permissions are a likely cuplrit [12:36] dee_, u need to restart sshd after [12:36] rblst: try this in terminal sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [12:37] ok and to restart is: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart ? [12:37] yes [12:37] RoadHazard: hmm, it seems java6 is not installed, thanks [12:37] erawfish, i'm not saying i don't believe you, it's just that from my experience it didn't work [12:37] sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd: command not found [12:37] soundray: wow, the package is still stuck. [12:37] dee_, sorry /etc/init.d/ssh [12:38] * moses is back [12:38] I've just downloaded my third ubuntu iso [12:38] !aptfix [12:38] 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 » [12:38] and had my third unique md5sum [12:38] done [12:38] ok let me try [12:38] and none of them are the same as on the md5 sum page [12:38] familiar: please pastebin the output from 'sudo apt-get -f install' (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org) [12:38] I think that's a win for the rng [12:38] Hi, can I ask a horribly stupid and ridiculous question? [12:38] BubblegumTate, Is comcast your provider.. :) [12:38] dtj erawfish : nope still says Access Denied [12:38] gnome power manager things my laptop is plugged into the mains when it isn't [12:38] vampiregirl, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers [12:39] any idea how to fix that? [12:39] Jack: no [12:39] vampiregirl: we're waiting with bated breath [12:39] vampiregirl, There are no stupiid questions.. just ask [12:39] any ideas anyone? [12:39] Jack_Sparrow: don't tempt me! [12:39] erawfish, I'll smack you [12:39] * hischild tempts erawfish [12:39] hischild, Jack_Sparrow: you've been here long enough to know that there are plenty of stupid questions :) [12:39] i just dont get it [12:39] It must be Friday.. we are all a bit punchy [12:40] maybe i should just reinstall ubuntu linux and start from scratch? [12:40] Jack_Sparrow: stop telling people that.. every year I get students asking the most inane questions.. there are lots of stupid questions.. ;) [12:40] soundray, well i' [12:40] dee_: no. if anything purge and reinstall ssh server [12:40] soundray, i'm still a bit in doubt whether there really are stupid question s.... :P [12:40] dee_: something went wrong in your install if busybox responds on port 22 [12:40] Slart, it is the polite response.. and yes there are some really dumb questions [12:40] i see [12:40] I'm attempting to download ubuntu, but each time I do, after about five hours of download time, it gets to the end at it wants to do something with Sonic Record Now which doesn't work over here, so right now Sonic wants me to choose a path for something, which I have no idea what, and that was a huge run-on sentance. [12:40] soundray: here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59576/ [12:40] seems to be after resuming from hibernate [12:40] so i should just sudo apt-get openssh-server again? [12:40] there isn't stupid questions, but there are lazy questions [12:41] Jack_Sparrow: =) [12:41] vampiregirl, aah i see .... you're trying to open the iso directly after you download it? [12:41] vampiregirl, You are on windows.. do you have the iso on your desktop [12:41] dee_: busybox only runs if the system is in rescue mode basically [12:41] jack..... now my screen is skewed and wide........ but at least its fitting the monitor now [12:41] dee_: so something is fishy [12:41] yeah thats weird [12:41] I don't think I have it on my desktop.... [12:41] jack....I think its in 1024x... [12:41] isotropicspin, welcome back.. [12:41] hmm.. sonic record.. might be a iso burning program of some sort.. [12:41] so what do u guys recommend me to do? [12:41] vampiregirl: do you have the ISO file anywhere on your disk? [12:41] vampiregirl, if you try and download the iso, you want to click on save, and then select your desktop to save it to. [12:41] jack.... is there anywhere i can read about this and I won't waste your time any longer.... its best to learn.... [12:41] Slart, yes, that's a burning program [12:42] vampiregirl: when you download the file.. do you select "open this file" or "save this file" [12:42] isotropicspin, you are in vsea mode and your xorg did not match what we had.. [12:42] dee_: step one, purge and tehn reinstal openssh-server [12:42] vesa [12:42] familiar: could you also pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/interchange-ui.postrm pls [12:42] how do i purge? [12:42] I belive I did save. [12:42] vampiregirl, do you happen to remember where you put it? [12:42] jack.... ok [12:42] dee_: with apt-get [12:42] I mean, no I did open. Sorry. [12:42] erawfish: if you select "open".. doesn't the file save to a temp folder somewhere? [12:42] i see [12:42] Sorry, I just got up. [12:42] goblog [12:42] Like five miuntes ago. :) [12:43] vampiregirl, ok. Then you will have to download it again. No problem, i'm still very sleepy (thus wierd sentence constructions ... )_ [12:43] Slart: it does [12:43] vampiregirl: what you need to do is figure out where you downloaded it to and then burn it to a cd with whatever burning software you use [12:43] So this time I save it, right? [12:43] vampiregirl, but be sure to select save and not open this time. Yes [12:43] isotropicspin, Look at lines 64 and 65 in gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:43] depending on internet browser [12:43] gnome power manager thinks my laptop is plugged into the mains when it isn't. Any ideas how to deal with this? [12:44] isotropicspin, compare to the same lines in http://paste.stgraber.org/1519 [12:44] Okay, I'll go download again, thanks. Does I need to burn something, or am I able to skip that bit? [12:44] vampiregirl: it also wouldn't be a bad idea to check it it with md5sum prior to burning [12:44] how do you add user accounts via terminal? [12:44] vampiregirl, you will need to burn it. That's something we'll do after you're finished downloading [12:44] adduser? [12:44] vampiregirl: you will need to burn it. cdburnerxp or such [12:44] dee_: adduser [12:44] simion314: dpkg --search [12:44] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59577/ [12:44] Okay, thanks. I'll go attempt to redownload. [12:45] Thanks. [12:45] vampiregirl, and that was not a stupid question [12:45] for all who are following my saga with great interest, I'm now wgetting the iso in the hope that it will result in a working iso with a correct md5 === _Lokii- is now known as Lokii- [12:45] There are no stupid questions, just stupid people [12:46] wander.... and never let school get in the way of a good education..... [12:46] lol [12:46] hmm, i thought /boot couldn't be on lvm? [12:46] isotropicspin, How are you doing with that xorg [12:47] jack..... in the section "Monitor" there is all this extra crap now..... is that what you were refering to? [12:48] Hi all [12:48] nope. i've purged, re-installed. still doesn't work. Access Denied [12:48] isotropicspin, no what lines did I mention..? [12:48] thats it [12:48] i give up [12:48] I have setup a http server [12:48] and its working fine [12:48] 64-65 [12:48] hello, is my Lenovo 8943-DJG Laptop FULLY compatible to ubuntu? where can i get such informations? [12:48] but its pointing to my /var/www how to do it? [12:48] Muha: try the live-CD [12:48] Do they match the pastebin [12:48] i dont have the laptop [12:48] How can I change the location?? [12:48] i would buy one if its compatible [12:49] isotropicspin, You wanted a resource... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [12:49] take a Live CD to the store [12:49] Muha, unless your laptop has some uberduperhightechnotreallyreleased hardware it's compatible 99% of the time in my opinion ... and do what BubblegumTate says [12:49] Muha: ah, I see.. what hardware are you worried about then? [12:49] if it has broadcomm wireless, run [12:49] familiar: I suggest you replace /var/lib/dpkg/info/interchange-ui.postrm with these contents: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59578/ [12:49] jack.... those lines are exactly the same except just below it there is an extra one that says Driver "nv" [12:49] familiar: then re-run sudo apt-get -f install [12:49] jack... thanks will look at soon [12:49] RoadHazard: Broadcom wireless works most of the time... at least for me it does [12:49] soundray: cool, I'll give it a go and hopefully my package goes away. I don't even need it anymore. [12:50] isotropicspin, that is the one.. that is your video driver [12:50] But Intel or Atheros based wireless would be better ofcourse :) [12:50] jack..... ok what does that mean? [12:50] RoadHazard: i installed java6, but doesn't make any difference: /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:71: Engine "ubuntulooks" is unsupported, ignoring [12:50] Wander_w, my atheros 5007EG was a pain to install tbh ... [12:50] some one please help me, I have setup a http server on my PC, others are able to access it through my browser, But they can access only /var/www of my system. How can I change it to access other folders?? [12:50] isotropicspin, add that line to your xorg [12:50] and remove one that says vesa if it is in there [12:51] hischild: really? I thought they had fully opensource drivers? well, thanks for the tip, I'll put Intel card on the top of my list as of now [12:51] yay it removed! Thanks soundray! [12:51] jack there is no vesa.... but under driver it says "wacom" alot [12:52] isotropicspin, please run this again and give me a link when you are done sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [12:52] mad_max02, an http server is not commonly used for system wide contents sharing, if you want to share a particular folder, you can create an alias for it [12:52] Mazus: edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf or /etc/apache2/apache.conf [12:52] isotropicspin, dont worry abot wacom [12:52] Wander_w, the 5007EG is sometimes recognized as the 5006 which doesn't work for it ... i had to recompile one specific version for it, and then it worked [12:52] rblst: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-149161.html [12:53] hischild: Oh, so it's just one card? Let's put Atheros back on my list then :) [12:53] Wander_w, it's the only card i've used so far, as well as a sitecom one ... so i can't say much for the others [12:53] Wander_w, they do have a shitty range though .. [12:54] jack.... paste.stgraber.org/1525 [12:54] hischild: sitecom doesn't make their own chips now do they? [12:54] k [12:54] RoadHazard: i've read this before, it's from 2006 and it doesn't solve my problem :( [12:54] Wander_w, i dunno ... the brand on it says sitecom, but if they have their own chips? ... i'm not sure ... [12:54] Wander_w, easy way to check by any chance? [12:54] ok, I'm no more help, java aint really my forte, sorry [12:54] familiar: good. What we did is to shortcut the clean-up process. I don't expect that it will cause any problems, but if you do find any remnants of the package, that will have been the reason. [12:55] RoadHazard: thanks anyway :) [12:55] hischild: I've tested an Intel IPW2100 (good, good range) a Ralink2500 USB dongle (good, bad range) and a Broadcom BCM43xx (so-so, good range) [12:55] isotropicspin, not good... [12:55] hischild: look at which driver Ubuntu is loading for it [12:56] jack...... really? [12:56] which repository contains skype2.0 64 bit? [12:56] jack..... thats poo! [12:56] a!skype [12:56] jack... why? [12:56] !skype [12:56] isotropicspin, http://paste.stgraber.org/1519 is what you want copy and paste the entire thing from the web (without line numbers) into gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:56] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [12:56] jack ok will do again! [12:56] isotropicspin, it does not have any of the resolutions we added earlier === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [12:57] jack.... i don't know what happened maybe i didn't save [12:57] jack will give it a go [12:57] Wander_w, i'm currently on my laptop with the atheros card ... i'll check once my main box fully booted of my external drive ... [12:57] isotropicspin, copy the lower window not the upper one with line numbers [12:57] soundray: thanks. [12:57] jack... ok i thought i did [12:57] let me try again. [12:57] jack thanks alot [12:58] isotropicspin, np [12:58] Hi! Is there any C++ config parser on ubuntu? (except of boost dev. which has 30MB). [12:58] !install [12:58] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:58] isotropicspin, after you save it.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and give me a link so I can double check it [12:59] So now that I've downloaded it, (and come back), I need to burn a CD of it? [12:59] vampiregirl, yes [12:59] Yay! Okay, cool. One problem solved!. [13:00] vampiregirl, google up a copy of isorecorder or one of the others mentioned.. and we can go from there [13:00] if it's a .iso file, you need to burn it as an image [13:00] k [13:00] jack.... ok [13:01] As far as I know, I've found it. [13:01] Wander_w, That is why I tell people to use the free isorecorder or (2) as that is all it does, not file vs image issues [13:01] i just created a swap partition which works (after a mkswap and swapon) on the shut down when i chose hibernate. The problem is that my system boot normaly on reboot (do not resume). Can anyone help ? [13:01] vampiregirl, make sure you get the right one for your service pack [13:01] Hi people, i would like to have a howto link for the freeradius server please ! [13:01] Jack_Sparrow: ah, great idea, I didn't know that was all it did [13:01] zoli2k, you mean, a C/C++ library for config files parsing ? There are several libraries for that, don't ask me the names [13:01] and then download that too, right? [13:02] Wander_w, it adds a right click burn to cd just like we have in ubuntu [13:02] #linuxac [13:02] jack........ paste.stgraber.org/1526 [13:02] isotropicspin, let me know when you have the link ready for me [13:02] ibou: did you edit /etc/fstab? [13:02] ibou: you need to specify which partition to use as the resume partion on the kernel command line [13:02] k [13:03] khalid http://wiki.freeradius.org/SQL_HOWTO [13:03] thanks a lot. [13:03] welcome [13:03] isotropicspin, looks good [13:03] Jack_Sparrow: wow, that sounds really easy, maybe windows is ready for mainstream use then ;-) [13:03] isotropicspin, time to test it .... [13:03] jack... this is going to come in use for the future by the way because I am actually going to try to use this box for VJing.... [13:04] jack..... thanks alot i will give it a go!!!!!!!!!!! [13:04] np [13:04] so I am in PuTTY, SSHing to my home computer. I am using BitchX via screen. Is there any way for me to also run a gAIM client in the same session and kind of... halve the BitchX window to get both going or should I just open up another PuTTY session? [13:04] Jack_Sparrow: budz gud am again i just some info what apps should i use to run a exe file on ubuntu [13:04] RoadHazard thanks a lot...... [13:04] quite welcome [13:04] Lamego: I already found some, but I want to be sure that the library will be actively maintained in future distributions. [13:05] Okay, I've now accomplished downloading the isorecorder. [13:05] Lamego: in linux distributions. [13:05] AudioSenseCD: as in a windows exe? wine [13:05] marx2k: in screen: Ctrl-A S [13:06] zoli2k, the best option it to use a library known to be used by other packages, that increases the changes that it will kept maintaned [13:06] AudioSenseCD, HI.. So you want to run windows apps.. which ones [13:06] RoadHazard: yes sir can i run the game in wine [13:06] !appdb [13:06] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [13:07] AudioSenseCD: check their database here http://appdb.winehq.org/ [13:07] what is the package for dual core kernel? I have a dv6000 with core 2 duo [13:07] Lamego: Sure [13:07] Jack_Sparrow: like games windows flasher like (NSpro flasher, Griffin, Power Flasher... etc.) [13:07] Is there a way to move a process from one part of the process tree to another? For instance, I have apt-get running under a terminal in X but I want to restart X so I'd like to move the apt-get process so that instead, it is a child of init. Is there a way to do this? [13:07] twoshadetod: I think they use the same kernel for all modern processors [13:07] twoshadetod: there is no such thing. Ubuntu will make use of both cores automatically [13:07] !smp | twoshadetod [13:07] twoshadetod: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [13:07] AudioSenseCD, read the db [13:07] Jack_Sparrow: I've downloaded the isorecorder, but at this point I'm not totally sure what to do with it. [13:07] twoshadetod, the generic kernel supports dual core systems [13:08] dang [13:08] i reformatted and my computer is crawling now [13:08] when i am in multiple tabs on my browser [13:08] i waas hoping that was the reason :( [13:08] Jack_Sparrow: sure thx [13:08] vampiregirl, did you run the isorecorder download yet [13:08] I think so; it's installed at any rate. [13:08] is there a good diagnostic program ? [13:08] twoshadetod: One possiblity is that DMA got turned off on your hard drive. That happened to me once when I had similar symptoms. [13:09] I swear to god [13:09] what do the lba flags stand for in parted? [13:09] vampiregirl, right click the ubuntu iso and you should now have an option for burning the image [13:09] Combatjuan: how would I check that? is that in bios or in the os? [13:09] I have yet to get two isos with the same md5 [13:09] twoshadetod: hdparm -a I think [13:09] and I've downloaded 5 from 3 different mirrors [13:09] jack..... back where i started.... the screen isn't filling up to widescreen [13:09] BubblegumTate, use the torrent, it has built-in hash checking, which would allow you to get a good iso [13:10] twoshadetod: Sorry, hdparm /dev/xda -i [13:10] jack.... could it have something to do with HorizSync? [13:10] twoshadetod: (where "xda" is your device for example "sda1") [13:10] hischild: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing [13:10] jack...... it seems to me 30 - 70 is wrong [13:10] Wander_w, thank you [13:10] god, but the torrents take so LONG [13:10] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, I've done that and the nice blue window popped up, and I've selected the source, what do I put in the "recorder" box? [13:10] isotropicspin, go to system... pref..screen res.. and see what it shows now [13:10] thank you I'm checking now to see which mine is listed as [13:10] Ok, I do Ctrl-a S in screen and it splits the window into two, but when I go into the second (new) screen window, I dont get a shell prompt or anything. it's a blank window [13:10] I guess I don't have much alternative [13:10] what is that lspci? [13:11] twoshadetod: lspci is a program that shows installed PCI devices on your system [13:11] BubblegumTate, in my opinion they are usually faster ... the normal mirrors i only get around 500, but the torrent reaches almost double that [13:11] jack.... shows 1440X 900 which is manufacturers rec. [13:11] I get really bad times with torrents [13:11] whats the hardy heron channel? [13:11] I think it's my evil ISP [13:11] ubuntu+1 [13:11] ahh [13:11] thanks [13:11] vampiregirl, it should be self explanatory... one sec [13:11] saw motd sorry [13:11] np [13:11] ReL1K: #ubuntu+1 [13:11] how do i find out what my hard drive is listed as? [13:12] isotropicspin, is that the current res? [13:12] Jack_Sparrow: There's only one option: e:/no media. [13:12] ok found it [13:12] vampiregirl, is there a cd in the drive? [13:12] jack.... I assume not, although I can't measure every pixle there is a 2inch black band on the left hand side of my screen [13:12] There is now. I'm sorry, it's a bit early for me. [13:12] By like three hours. [13:12] BubblegumTate: for torrents to go fast, you need to make sure that your computer can be contacted directly, so not behind a firewall or router (you can (and should) keep those, but instruct them to forward the bittorrentports to your computer) [13:13] does anybody know if AMD HD3850 AGP works well with Ubuntu? [13:13] Okay, that was stupid of me. Thanks. [13:13] vampiregirl, we all have those times :-) [13:13] vampiregirl, that should just be your drive letter and blank..writeable..useable [13:13] oh je suis ici [13:14] et je suis ne pas ici [13:14] vampiregirl, Sorry.. I didnt think to ask if you had inserted a bland cd yet [13:14] generally speaking, how are ATI drivers working with ubuntu? [13:14] hischild, thanks [13:15] Sorry, it's a bit early. I'm really not this blonde as the day goes on. [13:15] DOOM_NX: usually they're ok [13:15] Thank you. [13:15] DOOM_NX: though not as good as NVidia ones [13:15] Jack_Sparrow, you're welcome [13:15] Can someone name a good ncurses-based client? [13:15] jack.... so its like it was when I initially started up..... on some of the screen is being used..... [13:15] vampiregirl, you should see me when i'm sleepy ... [13:15] let me try logging in again [13:15] hischild, I just drew a blank... but not as in blank cd.. [13:15] Wander_w, u mean i won't have 3D acceleration? [13:16] DOOM_NX: which ati card do you have? [13:16] Combatjuan: will you check out a pastebin for a sec? [13:16] how about DVD acceleration, or Blu-Ray? [13:16] ok [13:16] i want to buy 3850 AGP [13:16] DOOM_NX, the ati ones are capable of 3d acc, but they're not as good as the nvidia ones ... they have a general better support [13:16] DOOM_NX: No, you probably will have 3D acceleration, but it probably is slower a bit than in Windows, as opposed to NVidia card who are faster in Linux than they are in Windows [13:16] DOOM_NX: there is no video acceleration for either ati or nvidia under linux unfortunately [13:16] DOOM_NX: I'd say if youre going to run ubuntu and you havent bought it yet, go nvidia [13:17] erawfish: sorry? [13:17] Jack_Sparrow, hehe .. coffee helps a lot on this end .. [13:17] twoshadetod: Sure.

[13:24] Uh oh hes back [13:24] jack..... thanks alot! [13:24] np [13:24] RoadHazard: Apache 2 [13:24] madrazr, dns does not point to a directory, it points to an IP address, you must configure the web server to poing to the expected directory [13:25] isotropicspin, now for the fun.. setup effects [13:25] Lamego: sorry [13:25] I have one more question, hopefully not involving more black CDs: When I go into VMware and attempt to edit my vm settings, and get into that window, and then into the CD (here we go again) category, and then set it to use ISO image, and it wants me to browse, I see several ubuntu thingys, all with equally nice pictures. Which one should I select? [13:25] madrazr: one moment [13:25] jack.... so it must have been graphics card right? [13:25] Lamego: I meant that [13:25] RoadHazard: ok [13:25] Jack_Sparrow, ... that sounded rather funny.. [13:25] isotropicspin, combination [13:25] RoAkSoAx: success [13:25] jack... set up effect? [13:25] RoAkSoAx: thanks for your help [13:25] how do I get thunderbird to stop asking me if I Want to send in plaintext or html everytime I send an email? [13:25] this morning [13:25] isotropicspin, system pref appearance far right tab [13:25] vampiregirl, you can also select a real drive, the one that you have the cd in, isntead of the iso. However, if you select the iso, you have to select the file that you downloaded before. [13:26] RoAkSoAx: thanks a lot [13:26] isotropicspin, pick the bottom option [13:26] If I do use iso, which of the equally nice file names should I click? [13:27] vampiregirl, remember that file that you downloaded before? that file :-) [13:27] jack..... ahh ok...... yum i just made the fonts less gross..... what do vis effects do? [13:27] jack...... ahhhh i see! ooo!! [13:27] youll see [13:27] ahhh!!! [13:28] madrazr: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default then change DocumentRoot to your desired directory and Directory /var/www to your directory of choice [13:28] lol ... [13:28] jack..... fuck vista has nothing on this ....... it can't even make the fonts look good [13:28] It wants me to choose between ubuntu.vmdk, ubuntu.vmsd, and ubuntu.vmx. [13:28] isotropicspin, language [13:28] isotropicspin, Do you have a wheel on your mouse.. point to the top bar of an open window and roll the wheel [13:28] lamego.... sorry [13:29] isotropicspin, G rating in here thanks [13:29] Hi all! Does someone know of gnome-volume-manager alternative for the commandline? [13:29] hi [13:29] alsaconf [13:29] !alsaconf [13:29] vampiregirl, those aren't the files you've downloaded before. The file that you burned to the cd, that is the one you need to select. [13:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about alsaconf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:29] is it ok upgrade libc6 now? [13:29] jack... that doesn't do anything maybe i should go back into xorg hey [13:29] !alsaconfig [13:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about alsaconfig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:29] nope [13:29] LBo: alsamixer [13:29] damnit [13:29] thats the one [13:29] isotropicspin, now we are going to install ccsm [13:29] alsaconf isnt packaged in ubuntu [13:29] !ccsm [13:29] 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 [13:29] and it's a shame. [13:29] jack.... wow! man i just pulled the window around! that rocks!!! [13:29] hischild: Wow. That was totally obvious. I'm not really sure why I didn't realize that..... [13:29] I'm using ivman now, but you have to configure it for automatically mount known disks. I want something to do it automatically [13:29] hischild: Thanks. [13:30] madrazr: that work for you? [13:30] isotropicspin: try Windows-tab [13:30] isotropicspin, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [13:30] rsk: not volume -> disks [13:30] aha hm [13:30] vampiregirl, you're welcome [13:30] hi, all [13:30] RoadHazard: 2 mins, checking [13:30] the ubuntu installer is also a liveCD right? what could be wrong if it freezes after boot? [13:30] madrazr: you'll need to do sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart after that [13:31] SamuraiDio, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails repeat and add noapic acpi=off before the -- [13:31] RoadHazard: Ya I have done that [13:31] hischild: So on using our wonderful cd from before, I click physical drive for that, right? [13:31] madrazr: should work then [13:31] SamuraiDio: there's tons of stuff that can be wrong.. CD with errors (try the check option) dodgy hardware... [13:32] vampiregirl, that is correct. And then you select the drive that you put the cd in. [13:32] SamuraiDio: ACPI hangs (try noacpi) [13:32] jack ok will do [13:32] RoadHazard: Ya its working one more question, [13:32] madrazr: shoot [13:32] RoadHazard: I want this localhost settins for my local development and setup another location to be accessible by others as we do in Virtual Servers for our local machine [13:32] how do we do that?? [13:33] hischild, I have an option of E: or auto detect? I'm thinking auto detect, since E: is blank... [13:33] hischild, that makes me probably wrong, right? [13:33] Wander_w, sure i haven't tested acpioff. [13:33] madrazr: I'm not real clear on what you wanna do there [13:33] vampiregirl, then select autoselect and see if it can find the drive :-) if not, we'll continue from there. If it does, then it's good :-) [13:33] i see that other liveCDs (other distros) dont work also [13:34] RoadHazard: Say when setting up Virtual Server we create another copy of the default file with some other name say madrazr and then change the Document Root for this file, and enable this site also keeping the old one enabled [13:34] another doubt... what partition editor does ubuntu installer uses? can it safely resize fat32 and ntfs partitions? [13:34] SamuraiDio: what kind of computer are you using it on? (Laptop? old/new?) [13:34] RoadHazard: and in Network->Hosts we add one more entry with say 127.0.0.2 and the new name say madrazr.com [13:35] Laptop, brand new [13:35] so when I can use both madrazr.com and localhost on my browser [13:35] hischild: And then for the location above that...? I have a choice between host and client...I'm assuming client because there's a picture of a computer with that one. :) [13:35] RoadHazard: got it? [13:35] anybody could help me? i dont know how to install my webcam driver [13:35] jack ok i got that [13:35] isotropicspin, Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general settings up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom [13:35] madrazr: k what you'll need to do is an include in the apache2.conf for the new virtual server [13:35] !webcam > irwing (read the private message from ubotu) [13:35] SamuraiDio: what brand? [13:36] vampiregirl, can you make a screenshot of that? i don't have the screen in front of me [13:36] ok [13:36] is there a way to force a chkdisk ? [13:36] Wander_w, its a laptop, very new, but i dont think ubuntu will have problems with modules, maybe with the cam and finger print device [13:36] RoadHazard: Can you please tell me how to do it?? and where to include apache2.conf and what must be its content [13:36] madrazr: one moment [13:36] RoadHazard: sure [13:37] !fsck [13:37] hischild: It would be really cool if I knew how to give it to you now. [13:37] 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 [13:37] vampiregirl, you can upload it on http://imageshack.us and give me the link :-) [13:37] jack.... ok i did that [13:37] SamuraiDio: I'm afraid I can't help you any further, sorry [13:37] isotropicspin, Hold your breath and go for it.. ctrl-alt (Left Mouse Button) and move mouse [13:38] Jack_Sparrow Ty! [13:38] Hi [13:38] Wander_w, ok. tnx [13:38] jack..... that.... is..... wicked [13:38] jack those developers have design sense too man [13:38] isotropicspin, So much for ubuntu 101 [13:38] madrazr: may I pm you? [13:39] isotropicspin, you can even make it walk if you have 2 desktops .... [13:39] jack.... thanks [13:39] walk? [13:39] yeah, walk [13:39] isotropicspin, go play, we are here when you need us, or just hang and learn when you have time [13:39] heh? [13:39] isotropicspin: ok, now try this: hold the windows key, scroll up and down with you mouse [13:39] i'll make you a vid of it [13:39] how can i configure my desktop cube to have 3d window? [13:39] is there some good guide on installing ubuntu on laptops? [13:39] isotropicspin, ctrl alt down arrow [13:39] hischild: [URL=http://img337.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotim9.png][IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1088/screenshotim9.th.png[/IMG][/URL] [13:39] wander.... that is cool [13:39] RoadHazard: sure [13:40] hischild: Whoops. How'd all that crap get in there...oh well. [13:40] isotropicspin: yeah :D also try with alt and scroll :) [13:40] RoadHazard: whats there to ask?? [13:40] hey [13:40] How can I format a drive [13:40] in Ubuntu [13:40] its not the same drive that the os is running on [13:40] s-h-a-k-a: mkfs [13:40] wander...... ahhhhhhhh! awesome! === edgy__ is now known as edgy [13:40] s-h-a-k-a: Gparted would be the easiest way [13:40] s-h-a-k-a, look into gparted [13:40] ok [13:41] isotropicspin: lol... one more: try windows-key + tab [13:41] vampiregirl, aah that one ... uhm to be hones,t i'm not sure what's the difference between them ... but i think you can just leave it at default [13:41] s-h-a-k-a, this is if ou want to change the fs, if just want to erase it, just delete [13:41] hischild: Thank you. I'll come back and work on this later; I've gotta go somewhere. [13:41] Wander_w, I have 3d windows floating off the cube and fishies inside the cube.. way cool [13:41] Hello peoples of Ubuntu! I have a question. What is the system path and what is it for? [13:42] ahhh! god mode.... ctrl alt down arrow [13:42] Jack_Sparrow: hey, how did you do THAT? [13:42] is it possible to get my ufs partition to mount? [13:42] Wander_w, one sec [13:42] ... What's today's date? (USA eastern time) [13:42] windows key + tab = awesome [13:42] hey guys, this is going to sound weird, I have 2 LiveCDs, Kubuntu 7.04 and Ubuntu 7.10, when I run Kubuntu, I can connect to my router and have internet connection automatically, when I run Ubuntu, I can connect to router but I cant get interner conection at all... does anyone know how to get internet connection on Ubuntu? I tried everything, including WICD... same result always, connected to network, no internet..... [13:42] * Wander_w wants fishies in his cube too!! [13:42] !ufs [13:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:43] !3d window [13:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d window - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:43] hi all, does anybody have problems with evolution and ipv6? [13:43] arcticpenguin380: it should just be a point-and-click thing [13:44] oooo! alt + tab [13:44] ... [13:44] bei18: This is going to sound silly too, but did you notice how the internet taskbar applets look and behave diferently? Did you try pressing left click instead of right, (or vice versa) to see if it shows you the available connections? (Is this wireless btw?) [13:44] my bad its zfs [13:44] Wander_w, http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/49177/2006389838261953518_rs.jpg [13:44]
