[00:00] I have a file called ratings, but it shows copy of rating to me in the taskbar of the pdf viewer. [00:00] asker, like changing "thistitle.pdf" to "a fine title.pdf"? [00:01] in bash, is there a standard way to get the PID of the last-run command? I want to save the PID so that I can terminate it later. There may be multiple instances of this program running, and I not all should be terminated, just the one that this script started. [00:01] sageb1: no... i am thinking of document title in the meta data. [00:01] asker: you'd need an application [00:01] asker, it's more than a pdf? [00:01] Let me try again [00:01] I may have done it wrong the first time [00:01] tmcfulton, please do [00:01] billyguitarhero:that one works? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29 [00:01] silent_: i want to use pdfedit for my purpose, but do not know how to realize that.

[00:02] soundray: thanks for the effort though [00:03] I cannot register my pgp key in launchpad [00:03] sageb1: what do you mean by that? [00:03] anyway i can get round apt-get complaining about a package without a source .deb? [00:03] billyguitarhero:ok..because the restricted driver for broadcom usually dont work for all..4sure [00:03] how can I check the keyserver of ubuntu? [00:03] grrr ... I can not execute Handbreak after extracting the executbale [00:04] kauer: I think $$ is the standard way to get the PID [00:04] asker, ok, i don't understand [00:04] can i take a quick survey? what desktop environment do you guys prefer? (gnome, kde, etc.) [00:04] i don't have an iftab file... [00:04] i have done chmod 777 Handbreakcli or whatever [00:04] dataangel, ok we need to use the ffmpeg method then [00:04] ygorabreu_br_spa: i don't have the iftab file.. what do i do? [00:04] !openpgp ket [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about openpgp ket - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:04] it wont even do the command line completion in the terminal [00:04] jerbear: no surveys here please -- go to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:04] !pgp-key [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about pgp-key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:04] asker: my god... I just installed the application... I see what you mean, good luck [00:05] !pgpkey [00:05] When i type Hand (tab) [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about pgpkey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:05] hmmmm. [00:05] ffmpeg [00:05] soundray: how is that off topic? [00:05] sageb1: when you see a pdf file. it has a certain name. i can change that easily. but if you open that file and click on properties, you see TITLE. I want to change that. [00:05] !gpg [00:05] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [00:05] i think i installed that today ... [00:05] jerbear: this is a support channel. [00:05] why dont i have an iftab file? [00:05] [billyguitarhero]: yeah well..with me, actually i dont have it either..but its going to work anyway [00:05] oh [00:05] okay [00:05] thanks [00:06] sageb1: it didn't work [00:06] dataangel: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DVD_to_MP4 [00:06] soundray: Thanks, but $$ is the PID of the currently executing shell. The more I read about $! the more I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong :-) it looks like exactly what I want. [00:06] does no one know how to change metadata of pdfs (properties)? [00:07] [billyguitarhero]: cat /etc/iftab | grep wlan0 .. thats what u need to do right? well..if this tutorial work for u..ull get connected...but like me, ur wifi connection will be eth1 .. [00:07] hey, im repartioning , I want one windows one linux and another linux, what types do I use. i.e: ext3 ext2 fat16 fat 32 [00:07] whats up guys [00:07] psycoshot: ntfs for windows, and ext3 or reiserfs for linux (and swap for swap partition, which can be shared across linux installs [00:07] asker: try pdftk -- it can do all sorts of things to pdfs [00:07] does no one know how to change metadata of pdfs (properties) or just the TITLE of a file? [00:08] billyguitarhero:but dont worry..cuz im using for 5months gutsy without problems with my wifi. [00:08] how do i install my ati card without conflicting with my onboard graphics [00:08] soundray: have it got a GUI? [00:08] last time i installed both the drivers it crashed my ubuntu [00:08] asker: no [00:08] does anyone know [00:08] wheres the bash file under ubuntu for autostarting apps, im not talking about that gnome app under sys > prefs, id like to know if theres a file [00:09] i havent installed the package for the onboard drivers yet though [00:09] Fryguy: I dont have ntfs option :S is that because linux doesnt partion that? [00:09] shawn__: if you want to switch video cards on an already installed system, you'll probably have to edit xorg.conf yourself to get a somewhat sane environment [00:09] psycoshot: it does [00:09] can ati amd graphics cards be ran on ubuntu [00:09] ? [00:09] psycoshot: windows should already be installed [00:09] shawn__: of course [00:10] ok [00:10] is there a way to disable my onboard graphics [00:10] in ubuntu [00:10] shawn__: do it in bios if you can [00:10] there's no need to, just configure it to use your ati card [00:10] Fryguy: Currently I have one 80gb linux partion, im reformatting the whole HD [00:10] i did do it in bois [00:10] and it messed up [00:11] psycoshot: so then go and install windows, then install linux(es) [00:11] i installed the ati drivers [00:11] then restarted [00:11] shawn__ how did it messup? [00:11] changed my bios to pci [00:11] then booted [00:11] Oh ok thank Fryguy [00:11] and i got the bolank screen [00:11] blank [00:11] does anyone know what i did wrong? [00:11] are their any ip tools for Pidgen messenger [00:11] shawn__: yes, you changed video cards on an already configured system and didn't make the necessary configuration changes [00:12] xb3rt: ? [00:12] ok where do i make those changes? [00:12] xb3rt: wrong channel, join #pidgin [00:12] shawn__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:12] Fryguy--: sorry [00:12] Fryguy--: no such channel [00:12] okay ill check that out [00:12] shawn__: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Select the appropriate driver and pick defaults for the rest. [00:13] xb3rt: i just joined it and there are hundreds of people in there [00:13] how do I tell ubuntu, to rescan for wireless networks? [00:13] so what do i do [00:13] dleate the configurated one and restart? [00:13] shawn__: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Select the appropriate driver and pick defaults for the rest. [00:14] how do i boot in recovery [00:14] billyguitarhero:how's going mate? [00:14] hello [00:14] how can i know my monitor size? [00:14] shawn__: it's an option in the grub menu, the first thing you get during boot after the BIOS messages [00:14] shawn__: reboot and select recovery on the boot menu, or just use your existing boot and switch to a virtual terminal, use a serial console, or ssh [00:14] 1024*? [00:14] it says press esc [00:14] visof: on the manual for the monitor when you bought it [00:14] monitor size? [00:14] or resolution? [00:15] thats the only option [00:15] monitor size can be measured with a tape measure or ruler [00:15] shawn__: hmm, let's think -- maybe you should press Esc then? [00:15] lol [00:15] okay [00:15] shawn__: common sense is helpful [00:15] then there are more optionS? [00:15] Fryguy--: howd you spell it [00:15] sorry it's resolution [00:15] xb3rt: pidgin [00:15] shawn__: go and check it out [00:15] xb3rt: just like the name of the application [00:15] why are some people so stupid, seriously :( [00:16] lol [00:16] Fryguy--: I'll be damned, i spelled it wrong [00:16] breb [00:16] Fryguy--: please be tolerant [00:16] brb [00:16] how can i know the screen resolution? [00:17] soundray: why? I spend a few hours a week in here helping people with the most ridiculous of problems, including lack of spelling and common sense? I'm not allowed to rant every now and then that I don't get more opportunities to help people with true technical problems? [00:17] hey everyone. Posted a question on the forums, no answer. Wondering if i should of posted it in Beginner talk or where it is in general help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725615 [00:17] visof: on the manual when you bought the monitor, or on the spec sheet of the manufacturer's website, available for download [00:17] can i know this with command? [00:18] visof: the monitor might have EDID information stored that you can probe, but probably not [00:18] Fryguy--: I made a suggestion and I said please. Take it or leave it, and do what you want. [00:18] gdm does not load my ~/.zprofile file, but it does load ~/.profile.. what gives? [00:18] billyguitarhero:hey mate, could ya tell me how's going so i could help...or still busy? [00:18] Can i play game "Counter-Strike" on linux in Free??? if yes where can i download. [00:18] soundray: and I did what I wanted, which was respond to you... [00:18] hello all , have sound card not working,lspci give this result" 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) " any help ? [00:18] jerbear: why would you expect it to load that profile? [00:19] Fryguy--: b/c it's supposed to... kdm does [00:19] jerbear: what does another application's choosing to load a file have to do with the current application? [00:20] Fryguy--: this is what is supposed to happen with a display manager... it loads the profile file for your preferred shell [00:20] jerbear: if the problem is really that much of a big deal to you, just symlink one to the other [00:21] Fryguy--: it doesn't work that way... one is zsh, the other is bash, trying to source one with the other doesn't work [00:21] ok i am outies [00:21] quit [00:21] Fryguy--: i've seen forum posts about this exact thing.. i was wondering if anyone else has come up with a solution to this [00:21] jerbear: afaik bash profile is .bash_profile, and using .profile for anything related to bash is a non-standard convention, I could be wrong though [00:22] I have samba setup on ubuntu and there is a pdf printer share. What driver do i use for this on my windows machines? [00:22] hi, where can I find the config files for displayconfig-gtk so that I can purge them? [00:22] I don't use zsh on my ubuntu system, only on other systems, so I can't be of more help to you. I'd expect few people/nobody in here are using anything but the standard shell [00:23] Fryguy--: actually, you're right... ~/.profile is sourced by sh, where bash_profile is sourced by bash [00:23] Fryguy--: it's only standard b/c it's the default... it doesn't make sense that gdm would not work with other shells [00:24] hello,everyone [00:24] jerbear: so file a bug then [00:26] is there a way to make rhythm box minimize to tray? [00:26] i almost got mac4lin ran in vmware>it is a pity it doesn't support 3d [00:26] ronandi: alltray will probably do what you want [00:26] thx! [00:26] steve-uk2: just click on the tray icon [00:27] sorry, I meant icesword: just click on the tray icon [00:27] if U could see the tray icon I would tick it [00:27] tictacaddict, ? [00:28] ffew [00:28] dang. alright maybe I just can't read [00:28] Can i play game "Counter-Strike" on linux in Free??? if yes where can i download. [00:28] hello all [00:28] ronandi is the one asking about rhythmbox [00:28] hello all [00:28] noob here...but i was interested in a PPA? [00:28] further to $! I think there are two problems. When I start (say) tail -f in the background, $! correctly contains the PID of the tail process. When I start the program I want to track, $! contains nothing. Problem 1 is that the program has to be started in the background. Unfortunately the program is a daemon and detaches itself, so bash doesn't know about it. Problem 2 is that it seems to start a subprocess, lettting the original process die. So even if [00:28] how does one start one up? [00:28] i want to play counter strike [00:29] hello everybody. i did set up an apache web server in my home network, with a static adress via dyndns wich converts my non-static ip. this worked great for some days now. after messing around with CUPS (wanted to get that fancy webinterface via network) its down: i still can reach it via its local ip, and i also can reach the router configuration menu (wich i set to port 100 for no problems with http port 80) via dyndns. so dyndns works, [00:29] and direct connection to the webserver works - i thought of the router, maybe he has problems with port forwarding (Zyxel machines are known for like, forgetting the set up things) but the configuration is ok. even when i disable the firewall in the router, no connection from outside is possible (worked before!). so my questions are: can the "server" i set up here notice a difference between connecting to it via dyndns and connecting via L [00:29] AN? is there anything i could have messed up? [00:29] resel, steam>or wine [00:29] resel i also want to play. [00:29] rofl... i was looking for some box taht said min to tray [00:29] thx [00:30] sarthor, you want cs for free,is it free [00:30] sarthor: no... you cannot play for free, legally [00:30] hehehe [00:30] ronandi: your so cool [00:30] ... [00:30] ^^ [00:31] ronandi, i there any way to make legal this illegal move?? [00:31] sarthor: no. [00:31] ronandi, OK. [00:31] ronandi, ..............Weeping........... [00:31] sarthor: The game was originally made by Sierra, and its now run under Valve corporation. You can buy it for $10 and run it using Wine windows emulator [00:32] that is not dear [00:32] ronandi, Wine make slow my computer. i hate that. [00:32] sarthor: that is, the original cs (v. 1.6). The new version of the game is Counter-Strike:Source ($20) [00:32] yeah,it has to [00:32] yeah [00:32] sarthor: computer specs? [00:33] actually, everyone give comp specs [00:33] ronandi, i dont have any CC to buy. financially i m zero.. my pc is 1 GB ram...3.0 p4. 128 vga [00:34] 80 GB Hdd [00:34] it will run windows very well:) [00:34] or try dual boot [00:34] sarthor: go earn some money then instead of playing counterstrike [00:34] hehehe [00:34] icesword, should i move back to windows? [00:35] hmmm.debatable [00:35] why do no title bars appear on my ubuntu? :| [00:35] im pretty sure title bars used to be there... [00:35] anyone know how to bring back my title bars on ubuntu 7.1?

Motherboard: GIGABYTE DS4 [00:36] how do I write a script for irc that says all taht? [00:36] parkinm: if your windows don't have title bars, your window manager is probably not running. Run 'metacity' [00:37] aha that solved it [00:37] teste [00:37] soundray, i use to earn but the ground reality is going against me. [00:37] hi [00:37] soundray: how do i make it always run metacity? [00:37] and its better advice for me to stop desiring of playing CS:) Stoppped [00:37] sarthor: it will continue going against you if you waste your time [00:38] I'm having some mouse problems. Is anyone willing to help? [00:38] sarthor, do you get paid for playing cs [00:38] parkinm: if you played with desktop effects, disable them -- that should restore it to always run metacity [00:39] soundray, hmm i dont think i have played with anything at all, :C [00:39] icesword, No. soundray . i stopped wishing to play CS.... so i am not wasting time.

Ive resorted to reinstalling windows and using it and ive grown to HATE Windows...so can someone help Card is Atheros AR5006EG [00:41] While it worked before, for the last 2 days, Arch is not detecting my touchpad on boot. I have to manually modprobe psmouse for the mouse to work. Synaptics in xorg still does not detect it. So, I have limited functionality. I'm not sure what went wrong. [00:41] black_magic is that a wireless card? [00:41] SpookyET: this is not Arch support [00:42] tux97: Yea [00:42] question! [00:42] my router is detecting a lot of ping of death attacks [00:42] anyone using ubuntu on an eeepc please pm me i need some help [00:42] and every 4 or 5 days my server will freeze [00:42] what could be wrong when i cant start "alsamixer" but get the error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" [00:42] soundray: I meant ubuntu. I got 2 boxes. one arch one ubuntu [00:42] what can I do? [00:43] ok for mine i did for my broadcom wifi card was go to google.com and searched for ubuntu then my wifi card it told me to get ndiswrapper and use the windows driver [00:43] Has anyone try ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1021? [00:43] no: inform your internet service provider [00:43] If i Can Just get Wireless working in Ubuntu ill be happy thats been my problem for about a month and im really not wanting to do a reinstallation [00:43] QUick question...when enabling restricted drivers on a 3d accelrator, what needs to be kept in mind to prevent having to reconf xorg? [00:43] I ment 1721 [00:43] not me bshoey i'm running a 1521 with gutsy [00:44] soundray: the pings of death come from a variety of ip addresses which are forged probably [00:44] Mooo... [00:44] how do i add to /etc/resolv.conf properly? [00:44] does the 1521 have the ATI 1250? [00:44] black_magic did i help you? [00:44] ati 1250 what? [00:45] no: you've got a contract with an ISP to provide your connection. Now if someone interferes with that service provision, it's their responsibility to solve that problem. It's not a Ubuntu support issue. [00:45] Dmole: just add ip addresses, one per line, or search domains if you have them [00:45] tux97: Radeon xpress [00:46] it has ati stuff in here [00:46] I have an odd situation going on with my Ubuntu gutsy. Nautilus is acting up. As in, my desktop icons cannot be clicked, I can dive down into some directories in nautilus, but certain ones I hit will show nothing in the folder (even though there are items there and it reports the correct amount in the status bar) and then it pretty much locks up solid from that point on to where I have to killall nautilus. Any clues as to where to start looking for a [00:46] video and sound [00:46] "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN" [00:46] Fryguy--: the changes go away each boot [00:47] I tried my ISP already - they said there is nothing they can do - their service is operational......I agree with them [00:47] tux97: I got pore performance with compize and opengl games with mine on Hardy. [00:47] it isn't a transport problem [00:47] it's a hacker problem [00:47] Dmole: only if you are using dhcp or some other mechanism that is going to overwrite your dns settings [00:47] I believe this is a firewall/hacking issue [00:47] oh ok compize isn't installed on this one [00:47] can someone else advise me? [00:47] Hi [00:47] no: What's the malfunction? [00:48] I'am br user hahaha [00:48] no speak english [00:48] bshosey do you know why i can't access my ubuntu desktop from my laptop? [00:48] wait [00:48] binary: the server will freeze completely - even if I press the power button nothing will happen - my router logs show repeated pings of death attempts [00:48] Hi--new to Ubuntu. Sound card appears to be installed, but not playing audio. Mute is off, volume is up. Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum. Help? [00:48] no: even if you can't get your ISP to help, that doesn't make it a ubuntu support issue [00:48] tux97: Huh? its a wireless card is basically all you said... [00:48] soundray it is an ubuntu issue [00:49] well i tried cat5 as well and nothing [00:49] ubuntu software is accepting these malformed pings [00:49] no: DDOS attacks aren't [00:49] my sound card function good [00:49] yes, if the software accepts malformed pings [00:49] Fryguy--: well i'm not sure how to deal with that but i might just change em back with /etc/rc3.d/S99local [00:49] tux97: are you just browsing samba? [00:49] ubuntu autodetection sound card [00:49] no: Sounds like perhaps you need to get more strict with your denials in iftables. I'd suggest trying Firestarter, and making sure to deny ICMP etc. and then remove the denials one at a time until you run into the problem, then you know which to protect from. [00:49] yea for my shares [00:49] hi [00:49] hi [00:49] and when i click on my network it times out [00:49] any one lookin for a good bunny.... [00:50] Tux97 both machines are running ubuntu? [00:50] yep [00:50] I just installed the new firefox beta and I can't get flash to work, any suggestions? [00:50] my laptop and desktop where my samba shares are [00:50] MirrorImage: go back to a stable version of firefox [00:50] I just installed linux and my sound card does not seem to work, any hints? [00:50] Besides that : p [00:50] windows pcs work fine to browse samba but not my ubuntu laptop [00:50] same here, no sound [00:50] Bunny_of_Death: Only if the bunny could help me figure out what the hell Nautilus' problem is on my boxen. :) [00:51] MirrorImage: you are asking for help with beta software in a channel that has nothing directly to do with the software. What kind of answer are you looking for ? [00:51] tux97: that is what I was thinking. OK. I have not done much with samba but on my server I had to put on all clients same username and passords on the system to work. [00:51] binary: today I started to try that: however I allow icmp pings for source quenching and no response - is that wise? [00:51] preor, theres a lot of new sound cards that dont have full linux support yet. some are supported. but ubuntu hasdnt the proper updated drivers yet. The next release may support them [00:51] i need some help with video settings [00:51] my server works fine for users and so forth [00:51] I was just wondering if you could help, I don't think I'm doing anything crazy by asking, Fryguy-- [00:51] no: Personally, I've found very little use for ICMP to be allowed...ever. So, it's denied by default on my box. [00:51] Dr_willis: a very old sound card actually Audigy Platinum [00:51] but i just can't access it by wifi or cat5 [00:52] MirrorImage: this is completely the wrong forum to be asking that sort of question [00:52] no: but then, I also have it silently drop pings, which might be useful for you if you're remote administering the box. [00:52] hi [00:52] Binary: I am a newbie - I operate a tor/freenet/and soon a mixmaster remailer server - do you agree that I don't need ICMP for any of these? what is ICMP used for anyway? [00:52] does anyone know an easy traffic shaping method? i need to prioritize p2p traffic [00:52] preor, I have same problem with my SB audigy platinum [00:52] randy do u have sound or is there a mark to ur sound saying no sound device installed? [00:52] preor, my audigy cards are working fine. ive had several of them. If using the digital output on them. Some times that needs to get selected, it may just be your mixer settings have the volumes down. Try playing a sound file, and see if they 'play' or error out. [00:52] tux97: can you ping and ssh to the server from the laptop? [00:52] Ive used Audigy, and now have an Audigy2zs in my main machine. [00:53] mmmm is pinging the same in ubuntu as windows? [00:53] tux97: just no sound. No errors. [00:53] oh ok [00:53] tux97, ping whatever.machine.ip.or.name [00:53] :) [00:53] no: ICMP is mainly used to see if a host is up, how long it takes to respond to pings, and what route messages take from your computer to another [00:53] Fryguy--, is this an applicable question, I'm pretty sure I didn't replace firefox and still have the stable version around somewhere on here, do you know where I can go about finding it? [00:53] i had errors and i did some stuff and it worked fine now [00:53] no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol that will give you a quick education on ICMP and it's uses...most of which, I consider pointless. :) [00:53] ok ty dr_willis [00:53] * icmp sighs [00:53] tux97: use the network tools under system>administration [00:54] I see,thank you both! [00:54] windows has a ping command also i belive. [00:54] pointless am I! [00:54] i'm having a terrible time getting a WPA2 Personal wireless cxn set up on my friend's laptop. is there a trick to this? [00:54] Dr_willis: did play an mp3 no errors and I downloaded a codec, did adjust the picture of speakers beside the clock to the highest volume also youtube videos with no sound [00:54] ok i pinged it [00:54] no: very welcome. Hope it helped. [00:54] lol, do you just make that name? icmp? [00:54] Dr_willis: is there a specific installation for audigy perha[s [00:54] but when i go to places and network then my network it times out [00:55] icmp: Don't feel that way...I'm sure the script kiddies still luv you! [00:55] MirrorImage: i have no idea. I build a sandbox virtual machine whenever I start screwing around with beta software that i have stable versions of laying around [00:55] I've had this name since the internet was young. [00:55] If you ever want to find me, just put your ear to the ground [00:55] Alright then === BinaryFu is now known as DDOS [00:55] preor, ive never had to do anything for my audigy cards other then perhaps check the mixer controlls. try the alsamixer tools, you may need to install them, instead of the gnome mixer. [00:55] try to add the server in you host in the network setting and see if you can access it. [00:55] Hey, we still love ya ICMP! === DDOS is now known as BinaryFu [00:55] all kidding aside, icmp does it exactly what it was designed to [00:55] considering icmp is partly responsible for running the internet, i'd say it's pretty important [00:55] indeed [00:56] is there a good room to go to for assistance with display issues or someone i can query? [00:56] gonna go play CS lol. cya [00:56] how do i uninstall the alsa drivers ? [00:56] preor, last i rember i could see the player play the sound, the little 'volume bars and stuff would jump around' showing it was playing, but i had no sound out. I had to use the alsamixer to enable the digital out. mess with some other sliders to get the volume actually up. [00:56] e345: just ask your question in here, we'll either answer it, ignore you if we dont' know, or point you in the right direction [00:56] !find alsa [00:56] tux97: are you systems DHCP or Static ip's [00:56] Found: alsa-base, alsa-utils, gstreamer0.10-alsa, libesd-alsa0, libsdl1.2debian-alsa (and 37 others) [00:56] !find mixer [00:56] Found: alsa-utils, kmix, libsdl-mixer1.2, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev, xfce4-mixer (and 11 others) [00:56] But it has it's uses...and a lot of times, it's not as necessary to have reception of it. [00:56] icmp is simply for computers to check if others are on the net? [00:56] dhcp [00:57] i had working sound, but then i messed it up and i want to uninstall and reinstall whatever was working in the first place :P [00:57] no: it does quite a bit more than that [00:57] ok, i was trying to get my projector to display sidelong with my laptop, now i have restarted my laptop and am stuck in 640x480 and the S&G preferences wont let me change it [00:57] tux97: OK. do you have DNS running on the server? [00:57] does WPA2 Personal wireless work under 7.07? The ESSID is not broadcast on this network. [00:57] i dont know [00:57] boselecta: yes it works fine [00:58] Fryguy--: is there a trick to it, because I can't get it to connect. === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:58] boselecta: nope, it just works. make sure you are using the correct settings [00:58] fryguy : wikipedia says it's for error messages for routers and hosts [00:58] OK. I am going to assume you do not. I belive that you do not. I would just add the server name and IP in you hosts file. [00:58] how is it useful otherwise? [00:58] Fryguy--: it(init.d) worked but i'm sure there is a proper way [00:58] no: and other things [00:59] wikipedia doesn't elaborate: could you summarize :P [00:59] Fryguy--: the ESSID is set correctly, I have set it to DHCP, and I have typed in the password several times. It never connects. All I get is the "Changing interface configuration" dialog. [01:00] basically I want to operate a free speech/anonymizing service server [01:00] bshosey i can ssh to it using putty [01:00] boselecta: is it a Ralink chipset? [01:01] no, i think it's Intel Pro Wireless (on a laptop) [01:01] Yes! I just used Alsa Mixer, to change my audio settings, and it worked--make sure "Front" channel is turned up [01:02] boselecta: is it actually 7.04 or 7.10? [01:03] preor: do what I did, install Alsa Mixer and play with the sliders. See if it gets your sound to play. [01:03] thanks for help, all--goodbye [01:03] soundray: 7.10 [01:03] lol... im back.... cs crashed after I played for like 2 min [01:03] Dr_willis: where can I get alsa mixer from [01:04] bshosey wheres my host file on witch pc? [01:04] thanks all bye [01:04] boselecta: do you get the problem on the live CD? [01:04] my engineer friend is complaining about the lack of features in the "solver" in openoffice spreadsheet VS Excel. is there a plugin or something that will make it better? [01:04] how do I configure a USB device? [01:04] soundray: i couldn't tell you, but it is a relatively fresh install from scratch (new HD). [01:05] preor, look in the packjage manager, thers several variants of it. [01:05] xenthro: if a decision of Windows vs. Ubuntu is hinging on Calc vs. Excel, I'm pessimistic... [01:06] soundray, he was actually very impressed with OOO, he just needs a better solver [01:06] need help.. have a fresh install of xubuntu. but everytime i restart or shutdown, it hangs, makes a never ending "tooot" sound. never experienced this from gnome etc.. [01:06] in gnome in 8.04, where do you set the default player to open when an ipod is connected? It seems to have changed places since 7.10 [01:06] boselecta: if you could test your wireless from a live CD environment, you could narrow the issue down to one with your hard disk installation if it works [01:06] !hardy | tgm4883 [01:06] tgm4883: wrong channel [01:06] tgm4883: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [01:06] I don't get why kde4 are reinventing compiz-fusion. Not only that I get less than half the frame rate and artifacts all over the place, the effects are crappy. [01:07] Dr_willis: installed it, yet no sounds :S [01:07] my bad, thanks [01:07] does IPW2100 support WPA2? [01:07] can i ask about problems in here? [01:07] SpookyET: the kde developers posted a huge article about why they did what they did a while back, can probably find it on google [01:07] dodimar20: have you tried shuting it down from a terminal to see what error it gives you? [01:07] hmn.. not yet... [01:08] i'll try it.. will post the result here.. [01:08] bshosey wheres my host file on witch puter to add the info? [01:08] tux97: /etc/hosts [01:08] xenthro: have you seen the development project that deals with this issue? http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Optimization_Solver [01:08] preor, you did RUN the mixer protgram and mess with the sliders? [01:09] how do I configure USB devices on Linux? [01:09] fryguy witch puter ? [01:09] jordan: too vague [01:09] tux97: ? [01:09] soundray, thanks for the link, checking it now [01:09] the one you want to connect from... [01:09] jordan: what do you mean by 'configure', and what kind of device is it? [01:09] im having trouble with flash, I install gnash after I installed the non-free flash and my flash sound stopped working so I uninstalled both and installed flash just itself and still getting no sound. The rest of the system has sound ;( [01:09] fryguy--: a logitech microphone then? [01:09] witch pc to add to the hostfile for my server and ip addy stuff that bshosey was telling me to do [01:09] jordan: what do you mean configure? [01:09] tux97: the one you want to connect to [01:10] ok [01:10] fryguy--: maybe it's the wrong word. I'm trying to figure out how to get my laptop to detect that it's there [01:10] Dr_willis: yeah, which Sound Capture shall I choose btw? [01:10] sutabi: look into using the alsa-oss wrapper in your browser http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&hs=lYO&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=firefox+flash+alsa+oss&spell=1 [01:10] hey guys, how do i authenticate in gamesurge with pidgin? /authserv AUTH XXXX XXXX does not work. Let me know. Thanks [01:10] so in /etc/hosts how do i put the server name and the ip addy in that file? [01:10] jordan: what kind of device? [01:10] i can't see the videos embedded in this page http://hem.spray.se/sammorling/bodyworm.html What do I do to viev them in Firefox?? I should have all the quicktime codecs already! :( [01:10] fryguy--: USB [01:10] Dr_willis: Asla Advanced Linux Sound Architect? [01:11] preor, i only had to slide the sliders around. Ubuntu uses alsa as its sound drivers. [01:11] tux97: you edit the file and put the information in, just like the examples and other entries that are in there [01:11] soundray: when i do a sudo ifup -v eth1, it seems like the issue is "No DHCPOFFERS received." [01:11] soundray: USB [01:11] jordan: what kind of USB device? [01:12] soundray: what do you mean? [01:12] Hey guys. I'm having some serious trouble getting Ubuntu installed. Every type of install I try freezes shorty after I select the install type. Problem seems to be my SiS Mirage 3 Card according to other techies I've asked. So far I've tried about 7 distros: Ubuntu, Knoppix, Redhat, Fedora, openSuse and a couple more I can't remember. I've also tried installing in text mode, used the alternate cd. Even tried installing from mounted .iso in case it was my [01:12] boselecta: have you tried setting a static ip? [01:12] Any ideas on a next step? [01:12] boselecta: are you connecting to a network that doesn't use dhcp? [01:12] jordan: a mouse? a keyboard? a memory stick? a scanner? a printer? a GPS? a vibrator? a mug warmer? [01:12] fryguy its confusing with all this stuff 127.0.0.1 localhost [01:12] 127.0.1.1 tux-laptop.hackers [01:12] # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [01:12] ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [01:12] fe00::0 ip6-localnet [01:12] ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix [01:12] tux97: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] ff02::1 ip6-allnodes [01:13] So, any ideas on why Nautilus might suddenly decide to have lockup issues in Gutsy? [01:13] clearzen, Fryguy--: no, it's a DHCP network. i don't control the network router. [01:13] MidnighToker: sounds like you have to make a hardware change to have a usable system in linux then [01:13] soundray: oh! sorry. I used the wrong word in my question. I meant how do I get my computer to detect that my USB microphone is connected? [01:13] BinaryFu: too vague [01:13] jordan, Do you know that there exist linux drivers for your microphone? [01:13] Not really an option for me as computer is a laptop and changing graphics chips is fiddly and expensive. [01:14] jordan: do a 'lsmod | grep usbaudio'. If that generates output, it is detected and configured. [01:14] boselecta: you can set a static ip on your machine and connect to the network [01:14] Looks like I might be doomed to a life with microshite [01:14] M1dn1ght: then you are probably out of luck [01:14] clearzen: will that play nice with the router? [01:14] M1dn1ght: what kernel options have you tried? What errors does it give you in text mode [01:14] jordan_U: eh? [01:14] boselecta: if you configure it correctly, yes [01:14] boselecta:yes [01:15] soundray: just paste it into the terminal? [01:15] jordan: yes === Thoth is now known as chowder [01:15] soundray: nothing happened. And also, nothing gets detected when I plug it in. When I plug in my iphone to charge it doesn't charge or anything [01:16] Often I do not get any errors unfortunately. With Ubuntu for example, it says it's loading kernal, reaches 100% and then goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Can't Ctrl+C, Alt-F2, CTRL-ALT_DEL. [01:16] anyone have any experience with OpenGEU (formerly known as Gebuntu)? [01:16] jordan, If there are no drivers available for your USB microphone then it might be 'detected' just fine, it just can't be made to work ( not saying that is the case, just wondering if you can rule out that possibility ) [01:16] soundray: except for the computer charger [01:16] As for the options I've used...I'll see if I can find them on a reference page. Don't remember them all off the top of my head [01:16] when i start and install ubuntu 6.06(64AMD) after a while i get the xserver error so i try to reconfigure with [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg]. After that, what should i do to start my install? [01:16] Jordan_U: how do I find out? [01:17] rawrbert: startx [01:17] why hey guys, if "authserv AUTH USERNAME PASSWORD" does not work to authenticate (replies unknown command) with pidgin, what does? I know this is not the #pidgin support channel but let me know if you guys know how to auth with pidgin [01:17] is there a way to have all usb keys mounted at the same mountpoint all the time? [01:17] automonted i mean [01:17] anyone have any experience with OpenGEU (formerly known as Gebuntu)? I just installed it and it's running a tad slow in terms of graphics [01:17] I have one ? about comileren under Ubuntu? [01:18] thank you will give it a try now [01:18] how can i know my hardware information? [01:18] M1dn1ght: I'm at work hang on [01:18] visof: lspci [01:19] Hey guys, pretty new to linux, just downloaded the Ubuntu alternate setup cd for the third time now. I seem to have trouble getting a working cd, when I check for defects something is always corrupt. I'm using cdburner xp pro, and the ubuntu version is the latest for AMD 64 cpus [01:19] visik7: sudo lshw [01:19] DnOberon: buy higher quality cd media, get a better burner, or burn at a slower speed [01:19] I've been burning at 24x, go lower than that? [01:19] sure [01:19] and can it be burnt to a dvd? [01:20] yes [01:20] Alright, thanks for the help, hope it works, I'm excited about switching =P [01:20] acpi=off is one I've tried, [01:20] eromero: if you right click a mounted stick, select properties and then the volume tab, you can open the settings and give the device a name, like Stick1 , then Stick2 etc. [01:20] hello i need some advice as to why the ipod icon for my 3rd gen nano won't mount/show up on my desktop. i am using kubuntu 7.10 wtih libgpod 6.0 and amarok 1.4.8.. i know that there is no problem with amarok, so it has to be the ipod. if either the os/software/music player is the problem, which one is it and is there an alternative that works better with amarok/linux [01:20] how do i figure out my dns servers? [01:20] varsendaggr, cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:20] jordan, First try to figure out exactly what model USB microphone it is ( "lsusb" might help in that ), but looking at your other posts it seems like this is a general problem with your USB controller, can you mount USB pen drives or use USB keyboards? [01:20] midnight, thats an option I enter in the advanced options on the first menu right? [01:20] M1dn1ght: try noapic as a kernel option [01:21] varsendaggr: they are provided to your by your isp via dhcp. If this is not the case, then just pick some to use. I personally use verizon's root level dns servers because they are fater for me [01:21] M1dn1ght: also edit boot options and remove quiet from boot options [01:21] nikrud: how about in xubuntu [01:21] Jordan_U: So far no USB devices have worked. So I don't think so [01:21] eromero: you'd need to write some udev rules [01:21] Dn0beron - I wasn't giving you advice there mate :) I probably know a lot less than you === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [01:22] I figured that out afterwards +P [01:22] Thanks clearzen. I will need to quit out while I reboot. [01:22] got a lot of people asking and helping, didn't expect it [01:22] hello i need some advice as to why the ipod icon for my 3rd gen nano won't mount/show up on my desktop. i am using kubuntu 7.10 wtih libgpod 6.0 and amarok 1.4.8.. i know that there is no problem with amarok, so it has to be the ipod. if either the os/software/music player is the problem, which one is it and is there an alternative that works better with amarok/linux [01:22] !repeat | jeremy_ [01:22] jeremy_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:23] * M1dn1ght slaps DnOberon around a bit with a large trout [01:23] how do i configure eth0? [01:23] Strange problem, my caps,num,scroll lock light doesn't work anymore. Any one have any ideas? [01:23] varsendaggr: edit /etc/network/interfaces [01:23] ok sorry first time [01:23] eromero: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [01:23] thanks! [01:23] I think I found the main reason mine wouldn't work, the ISO files are 710 megs on my machine, I only have 700mb discs 0.o [01:24] jordan, Do you get any output from "lspci | grep USB" ? ( Do NOT paste it in the channel if you do ) [01:24] Fryguy--: what do i put [01:24] n/m i will google it [01:24] hey [01:24] holy crap! [01:24] it's a miracle! [01:25] somebody figured out what google was, all by themself [01:25] varsendaggr: you are my hero! [01:25] okee - hopefully next time I log in it will be from a linux OS. Thanks for the help [01:25] Jordan_U: Two, actually [01:25] whats a good channel to download shit on [01:25] ghfreak51: ? [01:25] ghfreak51: ? [01:26] ghfreak51: inappropriate for this channel [01:26] Jordan_U: But it says the same thing even when I unplug it [01:26] ghfreak51: www.riaa.com [01:26] um sry? just wondering where i could get some music [01:26] ghfreak51: wrong channel [01:26] obviously [01:26] ghfreak51: not this channel, ubuntu support here only. No support for potentially illegal activities [01:27] btw hi nikrud [01:27] jordan, when you unplug the USB controller or USB devices? what is listed there should be the controller itself [01:27] Fryguy--: howwwdy! [01:27] what is the extension of a "bath" file on linux? [01:27] script? [01:28] kenzo: ? [01:28] Jordan_U: Nope. It says something about nVidia Co [01:28] kenade, Batch you mean? [01:28] kenzo: they are not identified by extension [01:28] linux doesn't actually pay attention to extensions [01:28] gnome does though [01:28] kenzo: a script in linux has a flag set, the exectuable one [01:28] there are several languages available that are suitable for batch scripting in linux, namely python, ruby, perl, bash, and probably a few others are common as well [01:28] Yea, I need to make a script to set my wireless network up [01:29] clearzen: iirc gnome uses the usual magic to identify files [01:29] exit [01:29] guys i'm asking this for a friend he occasionally experiences problems with wireless, he sometimes can't connect with wireless and has to restart the computer he also runs windows === obvio171_ is now known as obvio [01:29] kenzo, Just make a text file with "#!/bin/bash" as the first line and make it executable [01:30] I'm at the end of my rope: Running 'xrandr -o left' freezes my system within seconds. [01:30] What should I do to diagnose or fix this? [01:30] I'm using an ATI Radeon 9200, with the open-source drivers. [01:30] nikrud, But it will warn you if the magic number does not match the extention to help prevent wetware attacks :) [01:31] Jordan_U: ah, I didn't think it would say ah, it says .sh, therefore I'll run :) [01:31] man, wading through documentation and comparisons between various backup systems is annoying :/ [01:32] Fryguy--: indeed. let me know when you find the right one. ;P [01:32] networking: hey the lo interface seemes to be communicating but i need the ethernet card to be setup, can someone give me a pointer or two? [01:32] thank's [01:32] skarface: I probably have vastly different needs from you [01:32] varsendaggr: static or dhcp? [01:32] I am trying to use spanish accents with alt and my numpad but nothing it isn't working. Can I enable this somehow? [01:32] Fryguy--: possibly [01:32] i also get no DHCPOFFERS received [01:32] nikrud: DHCP [01:32] Fryguy--: but you've probably highlighted the problem there [01:33] varsendaggr: wireless? If so, ill just wander back into the woodwork [01:33] varsendaggr, 'lo' is the loopback interface [01:33] 127.0.0.1 = lo [01:33] skarface: I have a centralized file server already that is serving files to my machines over nfs, with the backup drives already set up on the main server, so I'm not doing any client/server stuff, simply replicating from 1 raid array to another [01:33] varsendaggr: the config for networking devices is located at /etc/network/interfaces [01:33] Fryguy--: yeah that's not what I want ;) [01:33] varsendaggr: You can set it up in that file [01:34] no it is wired... i am setting up a computer at my house and i will then send it to my friends house [01:34] clearzen: thanks [01:36] my applications.menu has gone missing. how do you recreate it [01:36] varsendaggr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59885/ , you can use this as a template for a static interface in that file [01:37] any idea why my wireless interface would show an IPv6 address in Network Tools, but not IPv4? i have been having trouble with setting up the WPA2 connection. [01:37] my resolution displays improperly on my l222wt widescreen lcd. 1680x1050 is the resolution for the monitor and I have it set in xorg.conf. im using the intel driver for VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 02). the screen appears to be normal height, but much wider than my screen [01:38] any ideas? [01:38] stretch screen with clamps [01:39] ehc, Try ctrl+shift [01:39] mabus: ? [01:39] what do you mean much wider [01:40] jordan_, ctrl+shift doesn't work. I am running kde. could that have an effect on it? [01:40] i tried [startx] after [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] and i still get an error... === jordan_ is now known as Jordan_U [01:41] rawrbert what is the error? [01:41] i didn't write it down =\ ...it was fatal 10 or soemthing [01:41] hi there... anyone familiar with CUPS? i am wanting to install a printer with that webinterface on a pc in LAN. i can open the webinterface, and it works fine. if i wanted to add a printer, it redirected me to a https:// page, wich didnt load. i opened the cups.conf and commented "Encryption required". now i could do following steps: add printer - choose printer - select driver. if i now klick on ok, it redirects me to a ssl page again - a [01:41] nd it still doesnt load. what can i do? [01:42] rawrbert: what kind of video card do you have? [01:42] Hi, I need to install Oracle 10 Express on Ubuntu 7.10 [01:42] rawrbert: we can't help you unless you tell us what is wrong [01:42] nvidia geforce 8600 GTS [01:42] Does anyone knows how to do it? [01:42] "fatal 10 or something" isn't exactly helpful [01:42] Nunes: run the installer or whatever, just like you would on any other linux system [01:42] heh sorry i'll write it down [01:43] I cannot download it from Oracle page [01:43] rawrbert: I would say without spefics run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and try again [01:43] I need to be logged in, wget does not allows me to do that [01:43] Nunes, Why can't you use a browser to get the download? [01:43] alright ty, and ill write it down if it happens. [01:44] I can on Mac, but I cannot pass it to my Ubuntu machine [01:44] it is a server, only command line [01:44] Nunes: ? [01:45] I am using Ubuntu 7.10 server [01:45] I have only command line, cannot browse a page [01:45] Nunes, You can use scp [01:45] Nunes: so then download it using command line tools such as wget, or transfer it from one machine to another using 1 of dozens of protocols designed for that purpose [01:45] intersting [01:45] I will try it [01:45] Nunes: wget http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle10g/xe/10201/oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb [01:46] Nunes:actually that won't work [01:46] Nunes: haha, you'd better use a browser [01:46] nikrud: where do you come up with dns nameserver or the static ip info? [01:47] varsendaggr: that's OpenDNS.org [01:48] Nunes: maybe use a usb drive [01:48] derelicked: thanks, I will try scp [01:49] I was wondering if anyone knew of a app like dvdshrink for ubuntu?

[01:53] vladanian: ah, sorry, didn't see the 4... have you tried the comman "qtconfig-qt4" ? [01:53] I printed something to the wrong printer, and the document is gone and I don't have access to it. It's still in my printer queue though, how can I change my printer job in the queue to another printer that does work? [01:53] M1dn1ght, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [01:53] derelicked: Yes, and there's an option to set fonts in there, but my settings there are not applying [01:54] M1dn1ght, Is that what you did already [01:54] Fryguy--: .deb are ok with Ubuntu, correct? [01:54] Nunes: that is the package format of dpkg which is what ubuntu uses [01:54] whether a specific deb is ok is dependent on it [01:54] ok ,thanks! [01:54] derelicked: The font setting works for qtconfig-qt4 itself, but not for any other kde4 apps [01:55] bruenig: ok, thanks [01:56] can someone help me get my sound working again? it just randomly went out and i get this error "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found". ive already tried installing from the ALSA's website instructions and they didnt work [01:56] !restricted > rahduke (read the private message from ubotu) [01:56] Karsyth Try rebooting your computer [01:57] vladanian: what if you go into KDE4 and change it there?

Have you changed or added repos.. installed things using scripts like envy or automatix.. (Both bad ideas [02:03] :) [02:03] tbwnoob: it should run some Windows games that use OpenGL for graphics, like Half Life or Unreal [02:03] okay [02:03] tbwnoob: depends on the game [02:04] how do i parttion my drive with parted [02:04] [Q] How can i view a list of all packages installed in synaptic pacakage manager? *reword* [02:04] it says it cant find the drive even when im in root [02:04] jack_sparrow, i did install envy (since i am using an nvidia graphics card), but honestly i'm a total ubuntu noob, so i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing sometimes. [02:04] tbwnoob: use gparted. much more simple [02:04] !envy [02:04] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

[02:10] macabro22: ok well I don't understand what you mean is all: a cd is just a medium with a fixed filesystem [02:10] macabro22: what do you mean, cdroms look the same as any regular folder anyways [02:11] bruenig, sorry.. I lagged [02:11] macabro22: so a cd *does* look like a directory so long as the filesystem is being interpreted correctly [02:11] total newbie question...

[02:15] bruenig: thanks [02:15] is there a way to tell the automounter to mount usb keys always at the same place [02:15] I checked for updates, and it claimed everything is up to date! [02:15] tbwnoob, Before resizing ntfs partitions, defrag (Twice) seriously [02:15] iom trying to edit my parttins for more saving space and im in gparted with the drives up which do i edit [02:16] ok [02:16] how do i defrag [02:16] do not edit mounted drives [02:16] defrag in Windows [02:16] really [02:16] damn [02:16] CJS3141: OK, then first click system>>administration>>software-sources, and make sure there is a good server under "Download From" [02:16] hello [02:16] i dont have windows [02:16] I have a trouble printing on a Windows networked printer... in booting windows it's second nature right there...but on nix with samba i can't even find it [02:17] !defrag [02:17] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [02:17] i have wine [02:17] okay [02:17] so i dont need to defrag? [02:17] tbwnoob: thats the just of it. [02:17] tbwnoob: not with ext3 filesystems [02:17] tbwnoob: your windows drive, maybe, not w/ ext3 [02:17] okay [02:17] I've just downgraded to Edgy so that I can get the right ATI driver (install on 7.10 didn't work) and now would like to upgrade again; any ideas whether the driver will be kept? [02:17] so what do i do now [02:18] tbwnoob: what are you tryikng to do? [02:18] ha, got pidgin to work with this. i know, impressive huh? [02:18] make more saving space [02:18] aks_: if you change versions, of course you will lose the old driver [02:18] aks_: maybe.., [02:18] thanks derelicked... hang on... [02:18] Hi, I justed installed ubuntu and the apps are start slowly. So I ran hdparm to verify my hard disk speed: Timing buffered disk reads: 10 MB in 3.05 seconds = 3.28 MB/sec is this fast enought? [02:18] so, once again, just to make sure i'm in the right place, there's no "new user" channel is there? [02:18] crotte: that is very very slow [02:18] Grrr... anyone know why firestarter is running even after I uninstalled it? (I uninstalled it... then pressed ctrl-alt-backspace... logged in... but it was still ruining my ability to SSH into my laptop from my iPod [don't ask :P]) [02:19] derelicked: but in fact it's the newest driver that supports my card (Mob. Radeon 9000) [02:19] fryguy: this is my problem? [02:19] crotte: possibly [02:19] ? [02:19] tbwnoob: what is the filesystem of the drive you wish to make larger? what is the filsystem of the drive you are taking from? [02:19] ntfs [02:19] ? [02:19] thats the biggest one [02:19] tbwnoob: use Windows to defrag the drive if you feel the need, then use gparted to partition the drive. [02:19] in dev/sda [02:19] but it wont let me now [02:20] the resize option isnt there [02:20] fryguy: what is today's standard? [02:20] aks_: I know, you're probably "Alexander_" and I'm int_main. And if you want the 8.28 driver, you have to be using ubuntu 6.10 ... there is no way around it, and if you upgrade the distro, everything else, including the driver, will have tto upgrade as well [02:20] crotte, Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. [02:20] I don't know if any of you remember me but I had trouble with my cd iso. I tried burning it slower, way slower and on diffrent media. Tried downloading again just to make sure that the ISO's weren't corrupt from the start. At the beginning of the text install it gives me about 10 IO errors on my cd drive, would this contribute to the disc not reading well? [02:20] and they are all locked [02:20] crotte: my drive does read speeds of around 250MB/s [02:20] Hammer89: sudo kill all firestater && /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:20] Hammer89: sudo kill all firestater && sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:20] clearzen: it wont bug me at all after that?

[02:21] if I'm making an exact copy of my running linux to an other partition so that i can run it later, what folder should NOT be copied? [02:21] derelicked: then I guess this is really the highest version this laptop will be able to run [02:21] metaljim: where does it freeze? [02:21] jack_sparrow: are these windows effets? [02:21] dpt: none [02:21] how can i get these drives to unlock [02:21] aks_: pretty much, yes, if you want any video acceleration... [02:21] that means i can copy proc, dev? [02:22] crotte, I thought you were slow to boot.. [02:22] the content of those folders should also be copied? [02:22] dpt: you can, yes [02:22] ok, thanks! [02:22] anyone know of any problems where 8.04 gnome does not show window borders at all? i.e. can't resize/move windows. Config is geforce4 mx 420 with an IBM L200P monitor. Any ideas? I'm using the nvidia restricted drivers [02:22] derelicked: I guess I'll have to live with that - thanks again [02:22] tbwnoob: are they mounted? [02:22] is there a way to force a prompt before control+alt+backspace is executed? [02:22] dsprague: wrong channel, join #ubuntu+1 for hardy issuees [02:22] if I make a usb drive bootable, and extract the ubuntu iso to it, could I use that to install ? [02:22] yea [02:22] except one [02:22] aks_: it's ATI's fault! *shakes fist* [02:22] tanner: no [02:22] that is ntfs [02:22] I have a trouble printing on a Windows networked printer... in booting windows it's second nature right there...but on nix with samba i can't even find it [02:22] fryguy: anywhere. it always freezes if firefox or opera tries to play a youtube video, but it will randomly freeze as well, either when totally idle, or when opening a juk window, etc. that's what is confusing me. [02:22] should i format that one to fat [02:22] dsprague: 8.04 in #ubuntu+1 please [02:23] metaljim: so it boots fine? [02:23] !install > DnOberon [02:23] help [02:23] should i format the ntfs drive to fat [02:23] tbwnoob: you cannot resize a ntfs partition in linux. as far as I know [02:23] dsprague: you have to add a couple if lines in your xorg.conf file [02:23] ? [02:23] metaljim: anything in /var/log that might lead to the problem? has the hardware been tested? [02:23] fryguy: yes. it boots fine (pretty quickly too). [02:23] thx...my first IRC experience :-) [02:23] jack_sparrow: I really think that my hard disk is too slow... the apps take ages to load... ubuntu ran faster from the live boot CD [02:23] fryguy: sorry, but i really don't know what you mean there! [02:23] but i can format it to fat [02:24] will that help [02:24] what is the best way to check password in ubuntu using C language?? === jimmygoon_ is now known as jimmygoon [02:24] crotte, odd not sure [02:24] metaljim: look in /var/log for useful messages in your logs. If you dont' find anything that suggests a problem, test your hardware (notably your memory, using memtest86), as it sounds like a hardware issue [02:24] tbwnoob: You can resize you NTFS drive to have two partitions, one for windows, one for linux [02:24] metanil, What do you mean by check password [02:24] Anyone know how to get a "godaddy" certificate in Ubuntu? [02:24] metanil: what password?

[02:25] one in /etc/shadow [02:25] metanil: there is no "system password" in ubuntu. You'll have to be more specific [02:25] ubotu doesn't seem to have any pointeres [02:25] tbwnoob: fat you can work with but not ntfs [02:25] tbwnoob: Then you can just use the entire disk, under install go to Guided Install -> Use entire disk [02:25] i know [02:25] please help. I'm trying to mount a samba share and i cannot get it to mount with write permissions. I have writeable=yes in smb.conf and i've mounted with using cifs using dir_mode=0777 and file_mode=0777 and that still does not work. What am i missing? [02:25] hi guys [02:25] but i didn [02:25] t so im in gparttion [02:26] there should be some function like getspnam to check the shadow password.. isn't it? [02:26] I would prefer if my friend cannot read all my config files, how do I limit the user? [02:26] I tried enabling DMA and putting UltraDMA to mode2 on my dvd device, but when I try to mplayer dvd:// I'm getting chopy video that cuts in and out and is sometimes scrambled [02:26] im going to format it to fat32 [02:26] Fryguy, there should be some function like getspnam to check the shadow password.. isn't it? [02:26] metanil: passwords in /etc/shadow are stored using md5 hash I think in ubuntu (varies from distro to distro). just ask for password, hash it, and compare to result in shadow [02:26] then use it [02:26] I'm on gutsy [02:26] metanil: yes. And this is the wrong channel to be asking questions like this. This is an ubuntu specific help channel [02:26] maybe format to ext 3? [02:26] and when I play the video I get "a52: CRC check failed!" [02:26] octoberdan, sounds like you have an ati card and composite enabled in the xorg.conf === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [02:26] aks_: when you hibernate, you system crashes?

[02:27] fryguy: i'm looking in /var/log and i'm a bit lost! what should i be looking at/for? thank you! [02:28] metaljim: anything out of the ordinary [02:28] errors, etc [02:28] aks_: yeah, fglrx is famous for that. sorry :( [02:28] Jack_Sparrow: I do have an ati card. So I should just disable composite in xorg.conf and restart X? [02:28] metaljim: most things in there are going to be timestamped, so look through the logs at or around the time your system freezes [02:28] derelicked: heh [02:28] octoberdan, yes, that will fix video but lose effects until you install one other xgl [02:28] derelicked: I've heard that there are altenrative programs for that [02:28] I can't copy files onto my mp3 player even though I have full write permission on the drive [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think I have any effects to lose... and if I did I wouldn't care. [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: How do I disable it? [02:29] aks_: alternatives for what? [02:29] derelicked: suspend to disk [02:29] octoberdan, gksudo gedit /etc/X11xorg.conf [02:29] wow, this is all greek to me. i'll try the memtest86 first. thanks man. [02:29] any ideas? [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: sudo emacs ;-). I'm there, not seeing a composite option [02:30] octoberdan, If you need more help do this sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [02:30] I created a user with useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser, but the user can read everything in /*, how can I make a very limited user that's restricted to their home dir? [02:30] seismicmike, do you get any error messages? [02:30] Oh, awesome program [02:30] nope [02:30] it just hangs [02:30] and kinda freezes [02:30] it's really weird [02:31] Sandra24: without doing jails or chroot stuff, that wouldn't be very useful (they wouldn't be able to run programs) [02:31] !enter > seismicmike [02:31] Anyone use Openoffice and attach it to mysql.. if so How easy was it? [02:31] how can i update my fiesty to a new ubuntu distro [02:31] Scunizi-> its not overly difficult, make sure you have the jdbc for mysql [02:31] sorry? [02:32] aks_: you did try the "radeon" driver, right? [02:32] np [02:32] I'd try doing it in the terminal, something like cp /home/seismicmike/music/x.mp3 /media/mp3mountpoint [02:32] ramseize: just google upgrading ubuntu to gutsy, the first like 5 results should be useful and provide step by step directions [02:32] http://paste.stgraber.org/1620 [02:32] does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"? [02:32] Fryguy: I want something more like commondity web hosts do, maybe I'm going about it wrong [02:32] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/1620 [02:32] ramseize, download gutsy alternate cd , [02:32] derelicked: I did on 7.10, though I don't know if I tried suspending while it was running [02:32] amenado, what's jdbc? really new at database's and such.. I thought using OOo would be easier for data entry form development. am I right? [02:32] I tried it from a terminal and it seemed to work, but when I went to eject the drive, it asked me if I wanted to empty the trash, which I did, and then the files weren't on the player [02:33] hi! everytime my girlfriend visit me I need to reset all my configurations to hide my secret files, clear my navigation history and recent documents... Is there a easy solution to me? Which files I can't forget to delete??? [02:33] aks_: what was bad about the "radeon" driver? [02:33] Sandra24: i'd imagine most of those sites are doing chrooted environments, bsd jails, or virtual machines. Ubuntu wasn't really designed to be run this way [02:33] derelicked: no acceleration [02:33] gaucho, hahahah,why do you need to do that [02:33] aks_: ah, it seemed laggy? [02:33] Scunizi-> JDBC java data base connector.. each database has its own version to connect to the respective db engine [02:33] gaucho, you work for CIA? [02:34] amenado, ah.. ok.. that makes sense.. thanks. [02:34] derelicked: yes, and I can only guess that hibernation would not work for it [02:34] !upgrade |ram [02:34] ram: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:34] no.. but I see some files that she don't like.. [02:34] !upgrade | ramseize [02:34] ramseize: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:34] seismicmike, hmm, I'd try copying, and then after a while check the output of dmesg in a terminal to see if any error messages turns up [02:34] gaucho: truecrypt is your friend [02:34] gaucho: Breakup with your psycho controling needy insecure girlfriend [02:34] gaucho: That's a quick fix [02:34] gaucho, delete them [02:34] ramseize: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [02:34] gaucho: sudo apt-get remove girlfriend [02:34] Fryguy: ahhhh. Maybe what I want isn't a user, just more like an ftp setup that's limited to one directory. But I'd prefer scp, if possible. Can I do that? [02:34] ;-) [02:35] hehhehe [02:35] gaucho: encrypt your secret files [02:35] hahahaha [02:35] hmm anyone familiar with s2disk? [02:35] hmm.. good! [02:35] Sandra24: yes, fairly easy [02:35] Jack_Sparrow: Anything stick out? [02:35] Jack_Sparrow: What should I change? [02:35] and what about xchat, pidgin, firefox, nautilus and another programs logs.. is there a easy way? [02:35] i say why creat a hidden partition ,stores all secrets there [02:35] gaucho give her another account she can toy with if she can not toy with yours [02:35] octoberdan, http://paste.stgraber.org/1622 Make a backup.. log out and in If you dont know how to change it back if it does not work.. just ask [02:36] ok, stupid question: i just DL'd memtest86 and extracted it, but i can't find it! think i did something wrong? or am i not looking hard enough? [02:36] metaljim: probably in your home directory [02:36] Jack_Sparrow: I do, thank you. [02:36] gaucho: you could make a script that removes all the log files [02:36] clearzen: Oh, that's excellent, can you help me get started please or point me in the right direction? [02:36] can anyone tell me what i need todo in order to mount a samba share with write permissions? I've tried smbfs and cifs [02:36] octoberdan, Lets see how it goes [02:36] gaucho: just find what the files are and "rm" [02:37] not really,recover is possible [02:37] wget http://paste.stgraber.org/download/1622 :-) [02:37] ok, I just tried it from terminal and the process hung [02:37] prince_jammys, what about create a hidden partition [02:37] icesword: heh, overkill [02:38] I don't get it... the drive has all the exact same settings as my USB thumb drive which works perfectly fine [02:38] hnmmm?i don't get it [02:38] aks_: I wonder if you've read the following thread from 4 days ago... Rocket2DMn claims he got your exact card working great with the "ati" driver on the newest ubuntu... and he posts his xorg.conf as an example...: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721661 [02:38] Alright, I'll be right back [02:38] How can I get an application to display on a different X display? [02:38] icesword: not necessary [02:38] ok [02:38] Sandra24: you want to use ssh right [02:38] I can't find truecrypt on synaptic.. using all the repositories for gutsy amd64 [02:39] does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"? [02:39] seismicmike, what if you open another terminal for the dmesg command? [02:39] !info mcrypt | gaucho [02:39] gaucho: mcrypt (source: mcrypt): Replacement for old unix crypt(1). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.4-3.2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 64 kB, installed size 264 kB [02:39] Sandra24: do you want them to have shell access or just access to files? [02:39] http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php gaucho [02:39] cool! [02:40] is it crackable [02:40] if she can crack it, she's talented [02:40] clearzen: just to let the user upload/alter files via something like winscp is enough, but I gather that means ssh [02:40] Anyone heard of a godaddy certificate? [02:40] is there a general hardware test i can try to make sure i'm not having any other problems with my PC vs. Ubuntu? [02:40] icesword: yeah if you have phyiscal access and some liquid nitrogen [02:40] hold on....... [02:41] Sandra24: yes it does, one sec [02:41] if I type tail dmesg it'll give me a running update, right? [02:41] truecrypt is crackable only if quantum computers become readily available, or p=np gets proven, or you use insecure practices. Truecrypt in itself is very secure. How you choose to implement it might not be [02:41] seismicmike: tail -f for that [02:41] gaucho: would these secret files be, for example, movies? [02:41] heh [02:42] hi, I accidentally deleted my Pictures folder and it got removed from the Places menu. How do I get it back? [02:42] because encrypting big files is pretty annoying [02:42] rohit, drag it [02:42] prince_jammys, hehhe,i got what you mean [02:42] prince_jammys: i'd be surprised if you noticed you were using truecrypt for doing encryption [02:42] hello, does anyone knows if there are any dependencies error in Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn mysql package? [02:42] thx Jordan_U you were right, disabled compiz, all working well. [02:42] rohit, that is, find it where it lies with nautilus, and drag the folder to the places space to the left [02:43] rohit: in the file explorer, make a folder called Pictures, and then go in it, and go to bookmarks>>add-bookmark [02:43] RoAkSoAx: no there isn't [02:43] Fryguy-- do you know if there is anyproblem with the package? [02:43] RoAkSoAx: there isn't [02:43] ok I'm going to do $ sudo cp fame.mp3 /media/mp3/fame.mp3 and see what happens [02:43] any why aren't you using the latest version of ubuntu [02:44] Does Audacity crash for anyone else loading large wave files on Gutsy/AMD64? [02:44] Fryguy--: so why do i get this error wen trying to install it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59889/ [02:44] hello where do you go to browse networks in here at? [02:44] derelicked: judging by the xorg.conf, Rocket2DMn's card is actually slightly different: it is the FireGL R250, the Mobiity Radeon 9000 is RS300M (the one I have at least) [02:44] are there any links to make a NAS our of ubuntu? [02:45] derelicked: its adding it to places in nautilus but not to the Places Menu in gnome panel [02:45] process hung.... dmesg says: [02:45] derelicked: don't know how significant the differences are; by newest ubuntu do you mean 7.10?

[02:45] Fryguy--: ok thanks [02:45] i have a printer shared on my network on a windows computer on the network, and ubuntu isn't picking anything up [02:45] oops.... sorry about that guys.... [02:46] new to the process and all... [02:46] however on windows its blatantly shared across the whole thing [02:46] fryguy: i DL'd it, found it, but i really don't know how to run it. sorry if i'm bothering you [02:46] you burn it to a CD and boot from the CD [02:46] oh [02:46] or just reboot your computer and select memtest86 from the options in the menu [02:46] since it's already set up to be available [02:46] ah [02:46] ok. thank you!

It's acting like I have stuck keys or lag, but I don't have this problem in Windows, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. [02:47] it's an inspiron laptop [02:47] clearzen: yes, has to work on windows [02:47] the documentation made no sense to me. jsut figured i'd ask [02:47] Gadis lugu [02:47] derelicked: any ideas?

That could take time. I could provide you with a link or two if you wanted. [02:48] aks_: ah, now that you mention it, hee seems to be using hardy (the one that will be used in April). Unlike the official proprietary drivers, the open source ones get BETTER support with time, rather than removing it.... [02:48] what I tried to paste is here (I think): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59891/ [02:48] Hey, I'm hitting a wierd bug when trying to install the propriatary nvidia drivers - anyone have any experiance with them? [02:48] Kanja: whats the bug? [02:48] Kanja: be more specific [02:49] clearzen: I have to go, thank you for your help. I'll leave this up, if you have something link or info that would help get me started, or even just a name of the technology involved like sshfs, please post it to me here, I'll read it when I return.

[02:50] Yeah, clean install [02:50] wiped the drive [02:50] Kanja: why would you do that? ubuntu upgrades in place just fine [02:50] Kanja: so its just a clean install [02:50] aks_: yeah, fair enough. [02:50] yeah [02:50] does anyone know what package provides the program "makeinfo"?

I've tried installing directly from the nvidia site, from envy and using the restricted drivers manager [02:53] is there a way to rename the usb key when it's mounted... right now the name under /mount/ is the same as the name of the key is there a way to make it always /mount/usbkey [02:53] Kanja: sorry, i dont know myself, I would make sure you are uptodate before enabling the drivers [02:53] boselecta: it's better with WPA but still not 100% unfortunatly [02:53] aks_: it's ATI's fault! *shakes fist again* [02:53] yeah... everythings updated [02:53] mzide: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+flash+opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [02:53] eromero: use fstab and UUIDs i believe [02:53] tanx [02:53] ill try [02:54] clearzen: if the router is set to WPA2, can you configure the clients as WPA? [02:54] mzide: opera and flash were broken a few weeks ago, dont know what the current status is [02:54] but using fstab makes it not automount it when you connect and re-connect only at reboot [02:54] boselecta: nope, you would have to set the router to WPA [02:55] eromero: are you sure? it does it for cd-roms and such [02:55] flash in my firefox is ok but running it in opera is not working.. ill try the workaround from Fryguy [02:56] what does the ubuntu.seed file do [02:56] I just looked in my terminal and in the one I typed the command it still has hung (hasn't returned to the prompt). I just did an ls in another terminal on the player and it lists the file. But Nautilus won't list the contents of the drive and I cannot unmount the volume because "an application (terminal)" is using it.

Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [02:59] I try to install this printer on my linux box. every windows computer on the entire network is picking it up, yet they dont even recognize the ubuntu box. "Supposedly" the Ubuntu box is in the same workgroup. However it also does not recognize the printer. [03:00] thanks Jack_Sparrow [03:00] It's not responding... and even if I could is there anywhere I can check to see if there's some setting that's messed up? It just doesn't make sense to me that this works fine with windows but just won't work in Ubuntu - even though it has the same exact settings as my mp3 player.... Does anyone know of an possibilities? I refuse to beleive that there just isn't an explanation of this. It should just treat it like a USB drive. [03:00] bmac2, Just a place to start [03:00] My conclusion is that the Ubuntu box is not in the workgroup, and i have trouble putting it there [03:00] i have a question :how to fix bad point on a u disk? [03:01] So grub boots the kernel and the initrd, but it's failing to find the root device, or progress past finding the cdrom drive when I boot from my thumbdrive [03:01] er.. sorry... it has the same exact settings as my mp3 player because it is my mp3 player. It also has the same exact settings as my USB flash drive that works perfectly with no problems whatsoever. [03:01] any idea?

[03:02] Samsung YP-U3 [03:02] TrueNme, i think you need to mount it with a virtual drive [03:02] really how do i do that [03:02] Anybody can help me clean up the mess compiz left after I disabled it from my Gusty machine? [03:02] danbhfive: yep i just tried it [03:03] icesword how do i do that on linux [03:03] it doesn't seem to read that from fstab but from some place else [03:03] I've read all over the forums of people having trouble getting write access to it, but that's not my problem. I *should* have write access - at least it says I do and doesn't complain about it when I try to copy files.

You may just be formating the fstab file incorrectly [03:05] yep mount -a works === [agatha] is now known as No_Ta [03:05] but automount at connect doesnt [03:05] I'm implementing LTPS on it..

[03:06] when login from client... system says login incorret... [03:06] eromero: well, i dont think fstab creates the folders, in my experience, you have to create the folder first, then you can use them as mount points [03:06] anyone would like to help? [03:06] seismicmike, go to www.google.com/linux and type in yp-u3 and you'll see the link [03:06] danbhfive: yep, that's the problem i want to fix [03:07] seismicmike, should be the 3rd link down [03:07] eromero: can't you just create the folders beforehand?

[03:18] i am trying to install my dlink wireless usb card on ubuntu, it is being detected but none of the lights are coming on on the adapter. do i need to be doing something? [03:18] irishwhistle, version 9 [03:18] irishwhistle, are desktop effects turned on? [03:18] ei dunno im still a bit of noob but when my wireless nic is pluggin in on boot it freezes, if i plug the card in while the pc is on the system becomes unstable, and if i reboot i get the wpa-supplicant error, which requires a hard boot then a host of network errors [03:18] no desktop fx [03:18] and it's the latest flash [03:18] hm well certainly i've done the googling and the best i could come up with in here was that most of the wireless drivers don't support WPA2, and the situation is only marginally better with WPA. [03:18] hmmm... well I apparently already have libmtp preinstalled.... [03:19] Scunizi: I'll try that if gnomad doesn't work. I'll have to get more details too. [03:19] how do you install .bin files ? [03:19] I have 256MB of ram, but that can't be it because it doesn't even wok in failsafe, but it does in Xubuntu [03:19] TrueNme, trust me,this time,i got it [03:19] TrueNme: is this an application you downloaded? [03:19] TrueNme: if you truly have an install program that is a .bin, just run it [03:20] JohnPhys, no desktop fx [03:20] boselecta_ built in network, pcmcia card? usb? [03:20] TrueNme, chomod 755 .bin file [03:20] Without X running, the terminal's text is huge and the bottom half of it is off the screen [03:20] ar0nic: it's built-in. it uses ipw2100 [03:20] icesword, it's the latest flash version [03:20] TrueNme, then ./.bin file [03:20] How can I adress this? [03:20] irishwhistle, sorry, that's my only idea. I know cpu% goes through the roof when watching flash with compiz enabled. [03:20] prince_jammmys yes i downloaded a .bin file for the client of my game [03:20] TrueNme, trust me [03:21] let it go [03:21] try it,trueme [03:21] johnphy, strange thanks for trying to help anyway [03:21] icesword i dont understand what your telling me to do [03:22] TrueNme: yes, if you're going to run it, you go to the directory where the file is in a terminal, then you chmod +x filename.bin, and then you execute with: ./filename.bin [03:22] TrueNme, in a terminal move to the director with the .bin file. Then type ./ [03:22] wish i could help, it recognized my card on the first time the machine booted, then froze and hasnt worked since [03:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120449 <-- solution to the terminal problem [03:22] TrueNme: what game? [03:22] Pooky: Better late than never, but jabberd2 works for me [03:22] prince_jammys what is chmod +x [03:22] hrg... I have to use JuK I think.... I prefer Amarok... [03:23] TrueNme,open a terminal,type chomod 755 .bin file [03:23] Pooky: But I use bdb backend [03:23] JohnPhys, do you think it would be worth a shot in another browser? [03:23] TrueNme: it's the command you type [03:23] TrueNme, it make the file executable [03:23] TrueNme: chmod +x filename.bin && ./filename.bin [03:23] scunizi thank you [03:23] anyone know why my samba linux share would be writable when hit from windows but not after being mounted in linux? [03:23] irishwhistle, it's always worht a shot, but it's odd that it works in Xubuntu and not gnome [03:24] TrueNme, np.. simple answers are sometimes better.. what game is it? [03:24] TrueNme, after that,./.bin file [03:24] JohnPhys, ok... that's the part that annoys me because I hate XFCE [03:24] ngabriel, what is the configuration of the share in /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:24] i tried both writeable=yes and read only = no [03:24] scunizi planet shift [03:25] JohnPhys, is that what you mean? [03:25] MattJ: I was trying to use the jabberd2 documentation, but I can't find the binary to run [03:25] mattj: just to test, and the init.d script didn't seem to make much sense either [03:25] Pooky: sudo /etc/init.d/jabberd2 start [03:25] (re)start [03:25] ngabriel, possibly what do you want the share to behave like? (writable by all, some, none, etc.) [03:25] when in a folder is there a way to open a terminal at that location ? [03:25] Pooky: jabberd2 is a handfull of programs that work together [03:26] JohnPhys, writeable to user ngabriel [03:26] Pooky: It should say something like: Starting resolver... sm... c2s... etc. [03:26] ngabriel, do you want it browsable by anyone? readable? [03:26] TrueNme, where did you download the file to? [03:26] anyone know where i can get an iso of an old linux distro? old meaning older then ~2002 [03:26] MattJ: yeah, it doesn't say anything like that :/ [03:26] TrueNme, app>accessory>termianl [03:27] cyphase: what are you trying to accomplish? [03:27] Pooky: Hmm, does it say anything at all? (also, what version of Ubuntu?) [03:27] MattJ: sudo /etc/init.d/jabberd2-ldap-mysql restart, and then it just says starting, fand then stops [03:27] bazhang: nothing.. i just want to see what it's like :) [03:27] Hmm [03:27] JohnPhys, yes. I should add that I also have: available=yes and browsable=yes in smb.conf [03:27] Pooky: Check /var/log/jabbersomething [03:28] ngabriel: so you want everyone to read it, but only you to be able to write to it? [03:28] MattJ: ubuntu 7.10 [03:28] JohnPhys: yes [03:28] MattJ: nothing in the log dirs, I have a jabberd2 and a jabber directory [03:28] er... maybe not... it says "No jukeboxes found on USB bus." What does that mean? [03:29] Pooky: Ok, I have it on 7.04 [03:29] ngabriel: .....hmm.........I don't know if I know how to do that, actually. It depends on how "available", "browsable" and "public" all behave together. I think you want public = no, browsable = yes, and earlier in teh file, security = user [03:29] I'm considering isntalling from source at this point, --with-mysql might be easier :P [03:29] Thank you everyone for the .bin install help [03:29] Well this doesn't seem to be working at all.... What's this changing the rom thing? [03:29] nitromaster: sup? [03:30] ngabriel: if you set writable = no, then noone at all can write to it, so don't do that if you intend to write to the drive as user ngabriel [03:30] ccarey, not much [03:30] seismicmike, read the link.. but be very careful === soldats_ is now known as soldats [03:30] Pooky: :P [03:30] MattJ: I've been googling for a bit, but do you know of any jabber howtos ont he ubuntu site that I might have missed? [03:30] Pooky: If you want to run manually, start with jabberd2-router, then the others [03:30] hey nitromaster, why'd my unrar being retarded? [03:30] which link? I think I missed it. Sorry I'm kinda spacey right now I'm also at work. [03:31] MattJ: why is it on the jabberd2 site, they say just start jabberd, is it just a startup script of some kind? [03:31] ccarey, i don't know. describe the situation please [03:31] trying to install this game it wants to install to /opt which isnt writable to me how do i fix this ? [03:31] seismicmike, the 3rd on down on www.google.com/linux after entering the model number of your samsung [03:31] Pooky: I don't know, jabberd2 is lacking good docs :/ [03:31] Pooky: I have only ever used it as an Ubuntu package [03:31] JohnPhys, at the end of the day, all i'm interested is user ngabriel. my security is currently = user, public = no, writable=yes, browsable=yes, available=yes, valid users=ngabriel... One weird thing is that if i access the share from a windows box (as ngabriel), everything works. Its only a problem when mounting the share from another linux box (using smbfs or cifs) [03:32] http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/mandrake/old/iso/ cyphase old enough for you? [03:32] JohnPhys, sorry, correction. i dont have any setting for writeable. [03:32] ngabriel: when mounting *nix to *nix, look at using nfs instead, it's faster [03:32] nitromaster, well i did a sudo apt-get install unrar-free as usual, and well it got a segmentation fault when trying to unpack a rar for d2x-xl, descent 2 and i really want to play, any suggestions? you're an unrar master right? [03:33] can i run this .bin file so that it can install to default dir.? [03:33] TrueNme: run it as root [03:33] MattJ: Oh yeah, I ran into this earlier, all the jabberd2-resolver, etc binaries, point to /etc/jabberd, though the package installed configs were installed in /etc/jabberd2 [03:33] ccarey, this seems like a classic problem. do dpkg --purge unrar to fix any and all problems you have [03:33] I guess I could just symlink it or something :/ [03:33] fryguy what about as su ? [03:33] ngabriel: when you mount it on the linux box, are you making sure to not mount it read-only? [03:33] bazhang: close enough :P [03:33] Pooky: Ah, use -c [03:33] TrueNme: use sudo [03:33] i'm so disappointed [03:33] Pooky: jabberd2-router -c /etc/jabberd2/router.xml [03:34] i've asked the same question 5 times in here, once in #samba, and no help in 2 hours [03:34] ccarey, actually, first do dkpg -l urar and tell me your output [03:34] TrueNme: su is root [03:34] Gopher99: two hours? heh that is not long [03:34] OH ok... sorry... I'm going to follow this and be very careful... especially since I have the YP-U3 and not the YP-U3J.... don't know if there's a significant difference, but hopefully not. [03:34] nitromaster: bash: dkpg: command not found [03:34] ccarey: it's dpkg [03:34] ccarey, sorry, it's dpkg [03:34] seismicmike, good luck [03:34] I'm also going to go get lunch b/c I'm so spacey :) [03:34] bazhang, it's long to be sitting in a chatroom trying to get a printer to install so that i can print a report and get some sleep [03:34] JohnPhys: no i'm not *sure*. Here is my mount command: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=ngabriel,password=blah,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //server/foo /mnt/bar [03:34] MattJ: since this seems like it'll at least get me started for testing, do you know if there's any particular order these daemons have to be started outside of the resolver being first? [03:35] Gopher99: Maybe the forums if IRC isn't working out for you [03:35] JohnPhys, I also tried setting /mnt/bar as 777 [03:35] Gopher99: please restate your problem [03:35] I try to install this printer on my linux box. every windows computer on the entire network is picking it up, yet they dont even recognize the ubuntu box. "Supposedly" the Ubuntu box is in the same workgroup. However it also does not recognize the printer. [03:35] My conclusion is that the Ubuntu box is not in the workgroup, and i have trouble putting it there [03:35] MattJ: sorry to ask what are probably basic questions, but the documentation, and the package, have left me a little confused... [03:35] Pooky: I think as long as the resolver is up, it doesn't matter [03:35] How can i have a sure-fire guarantee that it's in the workgroup [03:35] sorry... [03:35] MattJ: thanks much! [03:35] nitromaster, No packages found matching urar. i think urar is misspelled, let me try using unrar instead [03:35] Gopher99, install avahi [03:35] ubuntu comes default with gnome right ? [03:35] TrueNme: yes. [03:36] ty [03:36] Gopher99: what printer, is samba working otherwise, any error messages you are getting [03:36] ngabriel: should it be -t smbfs rather than -t cifs? [03:36] it's an hp photosmart 7550 [03:36] Pooky: Yes, I know :) Thankfully develop with Jabber, so I know a bit about the different server already [03:36] *servers [03:36] TrueNme, ok? [03:36] JohnPhys, i've tried both. I can mount using both commands, but can't write using either [03:36] Gopher99: my question had three parts [03:36] nitromaster, i think the problem might be the rar file and not unrar. i'll try redownloading and unpackaging [03:37] ccarey, good idea. just come again if it doesn't work [03:37] how do i find out what group my user is in ? [03:37] bazhang, earlier i tried sharing a folder on it, it gave me an error "255" i believe, saying user share was disabled [03:37] JohnPhys: Here is my smbfs mount command: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=ngabriel,password=blah,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 //server/foo /mnt/bar [03:37] (on samba) [03:37] Does anybody in here know a little bit of C++? [03:37] What is the best way (performance, security, easy admin) to encrypt my home partition? [03:37] TrueNme: type:: id [03:37] zero88, i know a little [03:37] zero88: Yes, but is it related to Ubuntu? [03:38] Gopher99, would you happen to know how to make a library? [03:38] nope [03:38] MattJ, no but i cant seem to get ANY help with his in /C++ [03:38] not quite that [03:38] k [03:38] ngabriel: Sorry, I don't know much more than that about samba. Have you tried mounting without sudo? I can't remember if that's allowed for samba mounts. Also, check /mnt/bar and make sure you have write access to it [03:39] what permisions should i install ? [03:39] JohnPhys, from the client side (where i'm mounting and writing), I do everything using sudo [03:39] Gopher99: you might try restating your problem to one of samba then; hp printers are very well supported in Linux this thread may help with error 255 http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=ba1c24e9851b4998ced88db3a2f94e0d&p=3781751&postcount=3 [03:39] zero88: it is mostly just a matter of passing the right options to the compiler (gcc or g++). A google search should bring up some instructions. [03:39] thank you bazhang [03:40] what is 777? [03:40] TrueNme: anyone can read, write, or run it [03:40] Gopher99: often getting help here is an issue of how you state things--the more clarity the better; if you have trouble running those commands then come back [03:40] alright [03:40] JohnPhys, i also tried creating a directory in my home directory and mounting there (not using sudo) and i still cannot write to it [03:40] starnestommy thank you [03:41] zero88: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/cpp/gcc/create_lib.html [03:41] grr, making a usb bootable install thumbdrive is a pain in the ass if you don't want to use syslinux [03:41] is NFS a good file server type to use over the internet?

[03:46] bazhang, neh the command is to make a directory inside another directory(assuming it's already there), the problem is that there is no samba folder there [03:46] JohnPhys: me either. this is driving me crazy.

[03:54] bazhang, time for lunch,don't forget [03:55] Anyone use wireshark? [03:55] Tonren: probably f-spot [03:55] I'm in Kubuntu, so maybe it's not default, but I can't even find it in an apt-cache search. [03:55] prince_jammys: ah, I didn't have the dash. Thanks [03:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615641 Gopher99 this suggests using cups; Scunizi also has suggest avahi as a possible solution [03:55] bazhang, :) [03:55] Tonren: yes, but it's not part of kubuntu. it's a gnomish app [03:55] JohnPhys: no dice with uid [03:56] prince_jammys: I'm okay with installing some GTK stuff [03:56] JohnPhys: should i try guid=1000 too? [03:56] doesnt seem to have changed anything [03:56] JohnPhys: btw, where did you get 1000 from?\ [03:56] Tonren: there's kde stuff for that also [03:56] is it possible for me to play .iso file (audio files) on ubuntu?? [03:56] prince_jammys: I'm asking in KDE [03:56] ahh well.. im happy with smb://192.168.etc.etc for now [03:56] until it stops working [03:56] prince_jammys: Err, #kubuntu [03:56] chewd, sorry.. not sure why it works for me and not you..

Version 4:3.5.7-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 473 kB, installed size 936 kB [03:56] Anyone have a solution to getting Intel audio working in Gutsy? I have tried basically every method I can find with no success, I'm going crazy. [03:57] ngabriel: dang, I could have sworn that would have worked [03:57] prince_jammys: That doesn't fetch images from subfolders. [03:57] is it possible for me to play .iso file (audio files) on ubuntu??pls help [03:57] JohnPhys, i saw that only too, but i didnt know what value to set, thats why i asked you where 1000 came from [03:57] boss iso are not audio files [03:57] JohnPhys, only=online [03:57] If I do kill my player for good, does anyone have any recommendations for linux friendly mp3 players? [03:57] .iso is a cd image [03:58] seismicmike, sansa works for me.. also an older creative [03:58] except on my system, in which case it's more normally a DVD image. [03:58] seismic cowon but offtopic here [03:58] how can i partition the exstended form unallocated? [03:58] bazhang: i am downloading data (i mean audio file from torrent)but it is showing as .iso file ..is it fake?? [03:59] lol now my sound doesnt work [03:59] boss this is not the channel for that thanks [03:59] ngabriel: make sure that before mounting, your user has read and write access to /mnt/bar, and that the stuff on the server is readable and writable by user ngabriel. The 1000 is your user id (assuming you're the first user listed on the machine). You can find your user id by going to the "Users and Groups" program in System -> Administration. The UID is greyed out in the "Advanced" tab. [03:59] seems to be the norm on ubuntu for me [03:59] if the network works, no sound [03:59] & vice versa [03:59] twistage: http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2007/10/19/getting-intel-ich8-family-rev-3-sound-card-to-work-in-gutsy/ [03:59] can somone helo me to get my parttion linux swap [04:00] i cant get it any higher and its only 274 mb [04:00] boss, join me on #linuxhelp or #linuxtalk. [04:00] Oh, rats, he left. [04:00] JohnPhys, you could be on to something [04:00] legend2240: thanks, i'll give it a shot [04:00] hi [04:00] Tonren: check out digikam (installed by default in kubuntu, i think) [04:00] maybe pulseaudio can fix it [04:01] twistage: yw [04:01] JohnPhys, my usernames diff between the two machines [04:01] it did the trick on one of my reinstalls a week or so ago [04:01] chewd, coming with the next version [04:01] ngabriel: maybe mounting with the 0777 or 777 masks will help then [04:01] where yall from [04:01] oh yea? [04:02] brb.. rebooting again [04:02] try adding uid=1000,gid=1000 (if that is indeed your user id) to your original smbfs mount line [04:02] JohnPhys, thats in my mount string. I'm adding a new user to my server just to see if thats the problem [04:02] bazhang, thanks [04:02] codex hi; this is the ubuntu support channel; do you have a support question? [04:02] partition swap help [04:02] i have a question [04:02] !avahi [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:03] shawn__: how much ram on that machine [04:03] too many questions but i-m not good at english so i guess i-ma take off [04:03] 1 gig [04:03] see ya [04:03] i gib [04:03] 1 [04:03] Hello all from Stockton! [04:04] redips1, hi from san diego [04:04] still no sound lol [04:04] is there a config screen for pulse somewhere? [04:04] I used to live Santee ElCajon [04:04] do you have a onboard sound or a pci card [04:05] both [04:05] onboard sound is allegedly disabled [04:05] Chewd do you have the right codecs? [04:05] but has caused me no end of linux grief [04:05] redips1, ramona [04:05] thats why im wondering if theres a config screen [04:05] so i can point it at my pci card [04:05] I almost moved there. Went to Phoenix Instead. [04:06] chewd, no idea [04:06] chewed maybe in your bios [04:06] its probably trying to output to the onboard sound [04:06] yea its disabled in bios [04:06] ok [04:06] but that doesnt stop it from showing up [04:06] the onboard [04:06] ? [04:06] wish i could just burn the damn chip off the board [04:06] lol [04:06] Does anyone know how to upgrade Gnome from 2.20 to 2.22? [04:06] shawn__: using the gparted livecd will let you resize the swap [04:06] anyone play eve online? it reboots my ubuntu when i try to start it. [04:07] id use the onboard sound if it actually did 4.1 sound like it claims to do [04:07] the drives are unlocked [04:07] chewd, are you sure you've got the right modules loaded? [04:07] bazhag [04:07] modules? [04:07] aha [04:07] shawn__: but swap is not [04:07] i am running another abuntu form another drive with the one im parttioning as a secondary [04:07] sound was working up until a few min ago [04:07] ubuntu does this to me all the time [04:07] like "drivers", but in linux [04:07] yes it is [04:07] ill reinstall & sound will work for the first 3 or 4 boots [04:08] mm... weird [04:08] sometimes i can get it to work in totem [04:08] Sounds like a driver problem. [04:08] but are you sure you don't *do something* in between the fourth and fifth boot? [04:08] bazhag i am running gparted form a main an dthe one im parttioning is set as secondary drive [04:08] yea.. i dont think ubuntu likes turtle beach [04:08] so none of the drives are locked [04:08] http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php?n=PartedMagic.Downloads shawn__ though I prefer parted magic live cd [04:09] but windows hates creative labs [04:10] Does anyone know how to upgrade gnome without reinstalling ? [04:10] what PCI sound card do you have? [04:10] reacuna: turtle beach catalina [04:10] redips1, upgrading to the next version should be pretty painless.. there'll be a prompt. [04:11] linux thinks its a c-media [04:11] redips1, upgrading OOo is more difficult.. I've never done it. [04:11] must have a c-media chipset driving it [04:11] where can I go to find out how to enable the root user? the ubuntu docs just tell me not to do it [04:11] Ubuntu will let me now? [04:11] Know? [04:11] redips1, yep.. [04:11] smehmood: why do you want to do it [04:12] redips1, new version comes out next month sometime. [04:12] bazhang: I have an account that I want to be shared across multiple people to work on a single project so I don't have to deal with file permissions. I will routinely be logged in as that user, and would like an easy way to do actions as root, without using sudo. [04:12] hi, is it possible to mount an ftp server using Places/Connect to a server... dialog in ubuntu [04:12] chewd, maybe this link will help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86827 [04:13] Ok..I just saw a magazine article that said it was out. [04:13] checking it out.. thanks [04:13] smehmood: and this is connected to the net and to irc as well? not a good idea to do it that way imo [04:13] bazhang: also, ubuntu is the first distro I've used that used sudo, and so I'm more used to just su'ing and I have good enough security habits. [04:13] can someone help me find 2 files that are named something like alsa-1.sh and alsa-2.sh ? [04:13] i remember i had an alsa problem before and those 2 files fixed it, and i deleted them since [04:13] bazhang, Am I missing something or is 'visparted' just a rebranded gparted? Why not use the official gparted LiveCD? [04:13] bazhang: it is a web server, and it isn't connected to IRC. also... most production systems have root passwords. sudo is mostly designed to promote good user habits of not using an interactive root shell. [04:14] ive been through COUNTLESS guides, google searched, alsa official and un-official faqs, re-installations, drivers, #alsa, you name it ive tried it and i CANNOT get this sound to work [04:14] Jordan_U: iirc parted magic is a fork [04:14] prince_jammys: Gah...! DigiKam would be great, but it doesn't randomize them! By the time one client's event photos are done, the day will be over. [04:14] Jordan_U: very shiny UI ;] [04:15] there we go [04:15] Tonren: try f-spot [04:15] just had to go to prefs>sound & point it at the right card [04:15] no sound in xine tho lol [04:15] back to what it was doing last install [04:15] sound works ONLY in totem [04:15] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html use at your own risk smehmood [04:16] er um... movie player [04:16] the default player [04:16] i need some serious help with my laptop and will be oh so gracious to anyone who can help [04:16] bazhang: thanks, :-).

[04:21] intelsdog: please clarify; play nice does not register [04:22] JohnPhys, no nothing [04:22] well the more i fiddle with stuff, the less stuff works [04:22] JohnPhys, uid and gid are not helping [04:22] time to go to bed [04:22] ngabriel: dang, sorry [04:22] MrKeuner, go to www.google.com/linux and search on ftp mount in ubuntu [04:22] any help? anyone? the changes to acpi-support about half way doen the page are what I did... now when I press power all i get is a black screen! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellLatitudeD620 [04:22] bazhand Vista offers computername/userid and linux only accepts userid all lower case or numbers [04:22] hey guys how do I change the boot screen on 7.10? [04:23] JohnPhys, i trying to add a new user to the server w/the same name as the user i'm mounting with. Then i creating a group for that user and changing the group permissions for the share to be owned by that group [04:23] intelsdog: you want to make ubuntu more like vista? is that the gist of it? [04:23] JohnsPhys, its the only thing i can think to try [04:23] no [04:23] Scunizi: I guess I cannot do it using nautilus, right? [04:23] I want to get Vista to send a userID that Linux can read [04:23] MrKeuner, no I think you can.. I'm just not sure how [04:24] ngabriel: aha, yeah that might be it. I had success in doing a samba mount, but I had hte same username on the server and client [04:24] is it possible to mount an existing windows software raid 5 array in linux while preserving data? [04:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 MrKeuner [04:24] JohnPhys, do you know the command to list all the groups on a machine and the users in the group?

[04:24] intelsdog: not sure how we can help what vista does [04:25] is there wine support [04:25] Scunizi: I do that but it does not work for non anonymous users [04:25] ngabriel: not off the top of my head, sorry [04:25] i swear to god i'll pay someone $50 if they can get my laptop to boot [04:25] JohnPhys, ok, i'm looking it up [04:25] Durandal: try the live cd [04:25] i'm booting from a live usb, isn't that the same effect? [04:26] Scunizi: does your work? [04:26] bazhang I know there must be a patch to allow for Vista verbose IDs [04:26] I mean... it doesn't even post [04:26] MrKeuner, ah..only for anonymous users? there should be a way to change that.. you might try asking in #ubuntu-california or #ubuntu-server.. [04:26] it's like it's trying to resume from suspend (when I really shut down) and I get get it to just hard reboot [04:26] intelsdog: vista questions? try ##windows [04:26] MrKeuner, I just looked at it but haven't tried it. [04:27] bazhang no linux question [04:27] is there an update to smb libs [04:27] hey guys how do I change the boot screen on 7.10? [04:27] MrKeuner: if you use the public ftp (login) it works, just tested it [04:27] that allow handling verbvose ids? [04:27] Scunizi: I use ssh and webdav without problems but ftp(with login) does not seem to work [04:27] how do i zoom out of the 3d cube [04:27] i want to see the cube from far away [04:27] nikrud: yeah with login does not work [04:27] its too close [04:27] MrKeuner, try ftp without login and see if it prompts you === bazhang is now known as bazgang [04:28] MrKeuner: strange. I usually use ssh but tested it just now. Does any other ftp program (like gftp) work? [04:28] nikrud: everything else works [04:28] why doesn't my ndiswrapper drivers load every time i reboot? [04:28] baz is givin' a gang of help tonight [04:28] nikrud: does your nautilus open ftp://user@domain [04:28] moss---> just go to system---preference-----and advance desktop settings. [04:28] mine does not [04:29] moss-----> go to the cube effects and hit zoom in or out.. [04:29] hope that helps [04:29] MrKeuner: yes [04:29] Hi there guys, when im trying to run "make" to install an aplication from source im getting this make error message, what do i have to do? http://pastebin.com/m151f1539 [04:29] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto prettyricky [04:29] i tried that though ricky hold on [04:29] nikrud: it works? what nautilus version are you running? [04:30] MrKeuner: nautilus --version: GNOME nautilus 2.20.0 [04:30] nikrud: same here, I do not know why mine does not [04:30] cocox_: stuff generally requires you to run ./configure before running make [04:30] and that will normally fail...but it'll give you a hint as to why [04:31] nikrud can it be passive ftp or stuff like that? [04:31] cocox_-> says there Install the appropriate db*-devel package first. [04:31] like 'missing x11' or something, you'd apt-get install x11_dev or what not [04:31] thanks bazgang! [04:31] hey what is the super key binding? === rommelhc-Away is now known as rommelhc [04:31] amenado, right but im trying to figured out how to do it? [04:31] MrKeuner: possibly. a sec [04:31] bazhang or anyone else listening: you know and I know Vista (MS) will not change anything to accommodate nux so any help or change with be on the nux side. [04:31] moss: windows [04:31] amenado, i should apt-cache search for that? [04:32] cocox_-> you have to read the README file that came with the source [04:32] JohnRobert, ya but in the cbt that im watching they say that for this app i should just run make.. weird [04:32] and in any large netwrok there will be Vista box that need to pass user ids to nux [04:32] amenado, ok ill check thnx [04:32] why don't my ndiswrapper drivers load every time i reboot? [04:33] not sure, but all I did was go to the cube effects and zoomed it out. also check the rotation effects that might help.. [04:33] ^^ quick question ftw === jimmygoon__ is now known as jimmygoon [04:34] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/curlftpfs MrKeuner is this what you need? [04:35] does anyone have any ideas on how to force a Dell Latitude D620 to hard reset? I press the power button and I just get a black screen (no POST). I think it's trying to resume from suspend... removing the battery doesn't help [04:35] JohnPhys, the user i was logging in with did not have write permissions to that directory [04:35] JohnPhys, i had to add the user to some group and give that group write privledges [04:35] JohnPhys, grrrr [04:35] MrKeuner: can I pm you? [04:35] ngabriel: sweet [04:35] nikrud: sure [04:35] JohnPhys, i still dont understand why i could do it from windows [04:36] JohnPhys, i mean, i logged on using the same info [04:36] bazgang: do you know by any chance if it supports mount on demand? [04:36] ngabriel: windows always lets you do more stuff than it's supposed to, but that is odd [04:36] MrKeuner: no idea really; just throwing that out as a possible solution [04:36] i found a hacked version of windows thats perty good [04:36] hhhahaha [04:36] Durandal-> most dell i came across with, you press the off/on swith for a few secs [04:36] oops wrong window [04:36] JohnPhys, yeah, it screwed my up. because it allowed me to write, i just figured the server was setup properly [04:36] bazgang, [04:37] icesword: yes? [04:37] bazgang, have you had lunch [04:37] alright, here we go ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59899/ [04:37] offtopic icesword [04:37] ngabriel: yeah....that is definitely odd. There may be a difference in the "smbusers" vs teh system users, so that might be wehre things are going wrong [04:37] lalalala [04:37] pressing and holding power button doesn't do it. one quick press turns it "off" again. holding it down to turn it back "on" doesn't do anything special either [04:38] JohnPhys, maybe, but man, that sucks [04:38] JohnPhys, so much wasted time. I have to take some blame though, that was kinda dumb [04:38] Durandal: what about trying to start from a livecd? disconnect the usb hard drive and try it that way [04:38] ngabriel: definitely, but oh well. [04:39] aff [04:39] onde q vai ubuntu br [04:39] i don't have a live cd with me (nor means to burn one). I have windows installed... this is my work laptop and if I don't get it booting by morning i'm soooo screwed [04:40] bazgang, i just regards to you in a chinese way,if you don't like ,let it pass,nerver mind [04:40] durandal, do you have a usb stick at hand? [04:40] I don't see how a live cd would help anything anyway... i press the power button and literally nothing happens. [04:40] my update isnt working [04:40] yeah i have the stick with my persistant ubuntu install [04:40] does anyone know how to fx your update [04:40] can anyone figure this out? ive tried basically every guide associated with it on google... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59899/ [04:40] but when i power on with the stick in, the activity light never flashes [04:41] i see... [04:41] JohnPhys, thanks a lot, your questions made me think to check the permissions [04:41] ngabriel: no problem, glad to help [04:41] Durandal: the laptop will not boot at all? even the windows partition? [04:41] can somone help me fix my updates [04:42] tbwnoob, ? [04:42] any music player apps with simple interface and lighter than amarok? [04:42] tbwnood did you check your sources list? [04:42] when i press the power button, the power led and the HD led come on. the hd led goes off after a second and then nothing. all black screen. no Dell splash screen. [04:42] Durandal: hardware issue then? [04:43] crashhandler: try exaile, rhythmbox, listen, or banshee [04:43] tq [04:43] crashhandler: anything is lighter than amarok ;] [04:43] i wouldn't think so, unless messing with ubuntu's acpi-support settings then shutting down would fry my hardware [04:43] installed xmms but when i click the shortvut via xfce menu,nothing happened! [04:44] hey all - is there a way to submit a password to pam_cracklib.so at the commandline to check for complexity compliance before commiting the password change? [04:44] I followed the instructions half way down this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellLatitudeD620 [04:44] Durandal: your laptop will not boot under any condition? is that correct? [04:44] the source list is messed up [04:44] correct [04:44] is says the doctype is unknown [04:45] is it possible to select someone in particular on chat? [04:45] Durandal: then that is a definite hardware situation [04:45] icesword [04:45] but i only did steps 1 and 2 since i don't have grub installed [04:45] tbwnoob, shooot [04:45] Meneertje: type three or so letters then hit tab key and their nick will appear then type your message [04:46] hi all, how can i make my ndiswrapper drivers load at startup?

[04:46] Durandal: I would really like to see you get this fixed; but not sure as you yourself have said that your laptop will not boot under any conditions whatsoever. [04:46] bazgang: it would be real easy to dismiss it as hardware, but i don't have that luxury right now... considering the last thing i did before shutting down was mess with acpi settings (hibernate/suspend/etc) it seems much more likely that the computer is trying to come out of some suspended state [04:47] legend2440: nope, desktop with integrated sound Biostar p4m900-m4 [04:47] tbwnood, you really need to include wine?

I installed windows on a sata disk to test something, then put that disk as sata2 and put my debian disk back as sata1. Now debian doesn't seem to be detecting sata2 at all (in gparted or fdisk), but it's detected in the bios settings. I'm guessing the windows installation did something wierd to it. Is there some way to completely blank out the disk or atleast get it detected by gparted or fdisk? === bazgang is now known as bazhang [04:49] hmm [04:49] how do i deleate it [04:49] sudo gedit (and then that address) [04:49] darn, the baz has given up on the gang of help tonight ;( [04:50] tbwnoob: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [04:50] i m going to deleate it from root [04:50] nikrud: haha [04:50] exactly [04:50] but save it first somewhere just in case [04:50] okay [04:50] just delete that particular line mentioned while updating [04:50] done [04:50] its up [04:50] what do i do now [04:50] deleted it already?

Hope I'm not in over my head with learning this new system, because it looks and runs way cooler than windows. [05:26] spunkloaf: there are servers which hold thousands of packages. the system is called APT. it downloads and installs the packages and keeps track of versions, etc. Apt-get is a command that lets you install and remove packages installed this way. you can also do it through GUI with "Synaptic" [05:26] spunkloaf: avoid getting stuff from the internet unless you have to [05:27] prince: I see, so most everything I need I can get from within ubuntu? [05:27] spunkloaf: yes [05:27] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training spunkloaf this may help as well [05:28] spunkload: once you get the hang of it, it's not difficult. it's easier. imagine you could just install stuff that way in windows [05:28] hey guys, I installed the ext3drives on windows to access the ubuntu partition. it was working fine until recently now windows wants to format it. any ideas how to fix this?

The other 2 work in the camera, but Dapper says they aren't initialized? They are all Sandisk 32m cards. [05:37] prince_jammys: I did, but it seems to describe a training program or something? What exactly is this? [05:37] spunkloaf: i have no idea [05:37] prince_jammys: lol [05:37] Hi.... Is there any way to change widget styles i GNOME how you do it in KDE? [05:37] anyone know why ubuntu 'cp' does not support -g but the gentoo version does? [05:37] spunkloaf: that is a basic intro to ubuntu [05:38] bazhang: that's great, but how do I use it? I'm a little lost [05:38] evening. anyone know owt about running ubuntu from a ramdisk? getting 2gig ram for my eee soon and id like to take a load off the hdd [05:39] http://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides rybotsky [05:39] spunkloaf: it doesn't look like a program, i think it's just a pdf file [05:39] spunkloaf: it is a pdf file; put on your glasses and read it ;] [05:39] aaahhh [05:39] Would it be at all reasonable to believe that my graphics card is causing freezing if everything works fine for countless hours on the shell, but when I go into GNOME and open firefox, it freezes, hard. [05:39] spunkloaf: download the PDFs and read them. [05:40] I was confused, looked like it was describing a training program or something [05:40] use the fore. [05:40] osmosis [05:40] i dont get why ubuntu and gentoo could use different versions of 'cp'. they both get cp from coreutils [05:40] anyone available [05:40] spunkloaf: It is, how to use Ubuntu. [05:40] I mean a program as in executable [05:41] ngabriel: how different are they? [05:41] spunkloaf: They aren't executables, they are PDFs, Portable Document Format. [05:41] pygmymath: you seen their channel yet? they have a wiki for that as well [05:41] I see that now [05:42] pygmymath: gentoo cp support -g (which i want) and ubuntu cp does not. -g shows a progress bar (like wget and scp) [05:43] bazhang: nice to know, cheers for that! [05:43] hey. i use : find /var/www/k/ | cpio -padm /var/www/dev/k , but im having a problem, its creates the full directory so when i run it its creates inside /k/ a folder /var/www/k/ and there the content... how can i tell him to copy only whats after and not make full paht? [05:43] pygmymath: #eeepc and www.eeeuser.com [05:43] ngabriel: aah.. that would be nice heh. compile the gentoo one? [05:43] pygmymath: maybe [05:43] pygmymath: dunno how to get it [05:43] bazhang: visitedthere but thought it'd be better to ask here first heh [05:44] Hi.... Is there any way to change widget styles i GNOME how you do it in KDE? [05:44] lancerocke: how did you do it in kubuntu and with what app? [05:44] bazhang: its a KDE feature [05:44] ngabriel: is -v any good? or you copying large single files [05:45] bazhang: not an app [05:45] pygmymath: big files [05:45] How could i know which is the command that can't be found from this output http://pastebin.com/ma53643f ?? [05:45] lancerocke that is kinda vague; what feature do you speak of? [05:45] ngabriel: split em up into smaller zips and copy with -v? [05:45] I bought 10 SD cards, 8 of them work in my camera, and I can read/copy them to my Dapper box. The other 2 work in the camera, but Dapper says they aren't initialized? They are all Sandisk 32m cards. [05:45] bazhang: but thats the only thing i like on KDE so.... [05:45] cocox_: it;s gcc [05:45] pygmymath: hehe [05:45] cocox_: install build-essential [05:45] n2diy: still with dapper? [05:46] cocox_: do you have build-essential installed? [05:46] <_c> what's the non-interactive equivalent of starting aptitude and doing uUgg? [05:46] lancerock you mean that stuff with a fancy clock. cpu meters and such? [05:46] ngabriel: not perfect mind [05:46] pygmymath: yes. [05:46] bazhang: settings>appearance>styles>dekorator, domino, etc. [05:46] Starnestommy, nikrud let me check thnx [05:46] aha lancerocke; sorry but I am on kubuntu ;] [05:46] pygmymath: ha: i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2061158 [05:47] bazhang: ok [05:47] bazhang: are you a K person?

[05:48] Meneertje: brb [05:48] gnome screenlets asin gdesklets? [05:49] pygmymath: nay; gdesklets are for those without compiz; screenlets are for with compiz [05:49] Anyone use thin-clients? [05:49] bazhang: always used desklets with compiz heh [05:49] ... oh yeah, forgot... to aks [05:49] _c: yeah, update and upgrade ( I usually use shift_ on upgradeable packages, had forgotten U [05:49] subsume: define thin client :) [05:50] pygmymath: a net booting client.

[05:53] woodwizzle: if you have ff that much use opera :P [05:53] woodwizzle: why would you want to do that? [05:53] bazhang: that was the irst question in my head heh [05:53] pygmymath: Yeah, I've used ie4linux before which is basically ie wraped in wine, but It doesn't look like it has been updated for gutsy and I'm not sure about the 64-bit support either [05:53] pygmymath: haha [05:54] bazhang: I'm a web developer, I gotta be able to test my pages in IE [05:54] woodwizzle: never hurts to give it a shot heh [05:54] woodwizzle: ietab for firefox [05:54] woodwizzle: uses the ie rendering engine [05:54] woodwizzle: what about running it in wine or using windows in a vm? [05:54] pygmymath: only in windows, sadly [05:54] nikrud: burn :< [05:55] shame ie8 isnt out so that you wont have to bother :P [05:55] woodwizzle: the vm is the best way to go, really. [05:56] nikrud: No doubt, but I don't have a valid windows key or windows disc to use [05:56] could use virtualbox to run windows [05:56] but thats a little painful [05:56] Is there an instant messenger that can send an IM with a command?

Well, maybe running a 32bit chroot to run wine to run ie6 . echh [05:58] nikrud: virtual box would be easier :P [05:58] pygmymath: like he said, he doesn't have a legal license for windows [05:59] nikrud: not even 98? :P hmm [06:00] Meneertje: oh bro i didnt mean this kind of widget [06:00] anyone gotten eclipe php to work? [06:00] I mean widget styles like buttons for GNOME [06:01] Hi.... Does anyone know if there is there any way to change widget styles i GNOME how you do it in KDE? [06:01] lancerocke: if you want pretty then gnome is perhaps not the best choice ;] [06:01] looks like ie4linux may work [06:01] lancerocke: system->prefs->appearance ? [06:02] woodwizzle: good news.. im gonna love changing to 64 by the sounds of things === rat32 is now known as Palace [06:02] linuxac [06:02] nikrud: no because there isnt widget control by default [06:02] lancerocke: I think you need to explain in more detail what you mean by widget, apparently it's not translating [06:02] bazhang: does that answer my question though? i dont mean to be rude, but.... i dont think it answers my question [06:03] bowwowadmin: if you mean the pdt plugin for eclipse, yes [06:03] Hello all, I am still having trouble with installing both vlc and irssi is I am using all the right commands with apt-get etc etc and it keeps saying 'No candidate version for irssi' it is doing the same for a vlc download. Why is this happening? [06:04] nikrud: ok so in KDE you can control the kinds of buttons you see universally easily by going to settings>appearance>styles and just controlling that one aspect of the UI [06:04] lancerocke: system?preferences>appearance>customize>icons is that what you mean? [06:04] !gutsysources | GCtoday (probably don't have all the repos enabled) [06:04] GCtoday (probably don't have all the repos enabled): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [06:04] GCtoday: What version of ubuntu are you using? and what tweaking have you done to your sources.list? (you don't have main enabled) [06:04] nikrud: http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=14 [06:04] lancerocke: ah. No. You can't do that in gnome [06:04] love ubotu [06:04] lancerocke: system>preferences>appearance>customize>icons is that what you mean? [06:05] Is there an instant messenger that can send an IM with a command in terminal? [06:05] legend2440: not icons, but buttons and radio buttons and scrolbar and gradients [06:05] irssi [06:05] steve__: centerim [06:05] there's the ncurses version of pidgin as well [06:05] nikrud: thanks [06:05] and there's fama [06:06] legend2440: thats another aspect all on its own [06:06] can anyone give me a pointer as to how to fix this compile error (when compiling coreutils): In file included from utimecmp.c:33: [06:06] utimens.h:2: error: conflicting types for 'futimens' [06:06] //usr/include/sys/stat.h:370: error: previous declaration of 'futimens' was here [06:06] http://linuxfud.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/gnome-panel-color-changes.png like this lancerocke? [06:06] Dangermike: i know thats a terminal messenger, but are there commands rather than the interface? like..i want to be able to send an instant message from a widget or something, so i need a program i could do that with [06:06] how do you remove the graphical login screen? [06:06] nikrud: do u think there is an app that will allow that? [06:06] i want to use the terminal to login [06:06] what is the diffrent btween commands with | and ; ? like ls -l; who and ls -l | who .... ? [06:06] steve__: eh its just a cli im AFAIK [06:06] banhang: no.. i will show you [06:06] finch = terminal pidgin [06:06] lancerocke: no, the theme building/control is limited in gnome. Mostly done by hand in text files [06:06] also tmsnc = terminal msn [06:07] cameron theres a start up screen editor [06:07] bazhang: http://www.kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre3/67383-3.jpg [06:07] pygmymath: interfaced or can you type for example finch screenname msg, and it will send the message? [06:07] hi, does somebody know if it's possible to set up rsync in order to obtain an update files on date-time comparison between source/destination? Thank you, [06:07] steve__: never used it heh so im in the dark [06:07] nikrud: ok i will go back to KDE [06:07] thanks for all ur help guys [06:07] I have ubuntu 7.10 [06:08] i really appreciate it [06:08] l8r [06:08] lancerocke: yeah, gnome is for users, kde for tweakers ;P [06:08] what is the diffrent btween commands with | and ; ? like ls -l; who and ls -l | who .... ? [06:08] steve__: apt-getting now for the day my laptop resorts to terminals heh [06:08] umm lancerocke that is kde4 [06:09] oops [06:09] martzipAN^: the ; simply separates two commands on one line, executing them in sequence. the | sends the output of the first command into the second command [06:09] martzipAN^: ; runs the commands one after the other. | pipes the output of the first command to the input of the other. && will run a second command if the first is successful (; does it regardless) and || will run the second if the first one fails [06:10] pygmymath: lol i used centerim when i was using only terminal [06:10] steve__: doesnt seem to work that way im afraid. i know tmsnc doesnt [06:10] pygmymath: but i need something that can open an IM and send it all in one command [06:10] ok thanks [06:10] steve__: best finch has is auto login, but thats pretty good, onsidering how good pidgin is at that [06:11] oh ok [06:11] lol [06:11] is there a way to restart xkb from the commandline? [06:11] so i do [06:11] cp dir/www/ && chmod 664 files [06:11] and if the copy success it will runs chmod? [06:12] martzipAN^: yes [06:12] what i want to do is write a program that will ping a server periodically, and if it goes down, i want it to send an SMS or IM or Email [06:12] in that order, sms, im, then email if i can't find the other options [06:13] where is the kernel located in ubuntu? [06:13] how do i logout from root? [06:13] exit ? [06:13] That worked a treat for irssi thanks again. [06:13] martzipAN^: exit yes [06:13] cameron: /boot and /lib/modules/ [06:14] ty nikrud [06:17] martinhrvn, yes, exit (from terminal anyway) [06:17] anyone here experienced with fluxbox? [06:17] I have a question. when running compiz fusion.. and playing a movie, i get blue colors (in the "movie section") whenever I move that section... anyone knows how to solve this? [06:17] nordland-iv: touched it a bit but didnt get great results [06:18] Meneertje: do you have double bufferiing on? [06:18] where is that setting? [06:18] Meneertje: i think it might just be one of those things as you're moving a movie. [06:18] Hello, is it possible to concatenate two audio files that have a small overlap without editing manually with audacity? Or does audacity come with a cross-correlation calculator software? [06:18] Meneertje: any advantages/reasons to keep compiz during that 2hour period? [06:18] Meneertje: setting & the effect depends on the player i believe [06:19] how do you become root in gedit because i can't save the file [06:19] sudo gedit filename [06:19] sudo gedit [06:19] rybotsky: sudo gedtit filename [06:19] chiming in: Meneertje video and compiz is problematic [06:19] no, but i looks fancy.. and just because it can work, I would like to figure it out [06:19] no, no, no! gksudo gedit never sudo gedit [06:19] just for the fun of it.. [06:19] mneptok: heh nice [06:19] nikrud: ive not had problems before.. [06:19] Meneertje: you got wobbly windows on? [06:19] !gksudo [06:19] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:20] yes [06:20] also when moving the cube it becomes blue [06:20] Meneertje: hmmmmm [06:20] thats new actually, never did that for me [06:20] Meneertje: which program to display video? [06:20] all [06:20] vlc etc etc [06:20] all the same result [06:21] why never sudo gedit, I do it all the time... [06:21] nordland-iv: read the link [06:21] like i said, it is not serious but just would to like to have it fixed [06:21] theres a link there to read nordland-iv [06:21] Meneertje: not sure... which video driver? i think having a look through the video players options for double buffering might help [06:22] gstreamer i guess [06:22] how do you configure the kernel? in gentoo i would cd /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig [06:23] тут є хтось з України?

[06:32] i asked a question and then 10 minutes later i asked again [06:32] whats it called rather... [06:32] and some dude told me to stop spamming my question :-p [06:32] bullgard4: I dont know about this i'm afraid.

[06:32] haha [06:32] yeah it was kind of annoying [06:32] hehe [06:32] nordland-iv: then : then q to quit [06:33] however [06:33] Chipsa964: yeah I remember that; he was out of line [06:33] haha you do? [06:33] sure [06:34] it was like a week or so ago [06:34] good memory [06:34] good memory of a bad memory [06:34] haha [06:34] how do i get the ath5k drivers with 8.04? My atheros 5211 wireless card works with fedora 8 and now with the new kernel of ubuntu 8.04 i was thinking it would work also, but it doesn't [06:35] im guessing it was something that most people didnt know anything about [06:35] wshaddix: #ubuntu+1 please [06:35] wshaddix: the guys in #ubuntu+1 field the hardy questions for now [06:35] Chipsa964: did you ever get that sorted? [06:35] yeah [06:36] i ended up figuring that it was because i needed to do a full install rather than run from livecd [06:36] and i did, and tried everything from the forums [06:36] and now everything works [06:36] banshee encountered fatal error--no player engines were found \\ how to fix this?

[06:37] but whatever [06:37] lol, I don't need a help file it tells me nothing about where to find the config file [06:37] question.. i installed (wubi) ubuntu here at work... but can't connect to the network... is this caused perhaps by the router here at work? [06:37] nordland-iv: somewhere in ~/.xchat2 [06:38] crashhandler: did the error give more info or was that it [06:38] sorry with network i mean the internet [06:38] wubi won't be supported until 8.04, that doesn't come out for another month, check #ubuntu+1 [06:38] Meneertje: is it usually windows network login? [06:38] that too [06:38] yes [06:38] bazhang, are you chinese? [06:39] Meneertje: methinks so then. probly uses the windows login for authentication [06:39] thats how it rolls at my uni [06:39] bazhang: 'please be sure banshee has cleanly installed' \ other than that,it gives 5 -6 lines of error info [06:39] ic [06:40] Daisuke_Ido: wubi will have official support with hardy? [06:40] i tried first all the usual stuff... normal connect... use all the static details etc.. but no such luck [06:40] crashhandler: can you reproduce this error and pastebin the error message in its entirety please? [06:40] that's my understanding [06:40] wah,can paste here? [06:40] ok itry [06:40] which seems like an absolutely astonishingly bad idea [06:40] crashhandler: not here but to pastebin [06:40] anyway not important... [06:40] I was gonna say bummer, but you said it much better [06:41] hi, is firestarter fully featured or is another firewall better? [06:41] Meneertje: had a similar experience. [06:41] firestarter is the front end for iptables no [06:41] firestarter is only the graphical interface [06:41] to make it difficult i dunno what the heck is pastebin ^_^ [06:42] !pastebin [06:42] 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) [06:42] err [06:42] Its there a guide to disable unnecessary services? [06:42] no firestarter is a front end to setting iptables, but doesn't give you complete control. shorewall is more functional, but setting the iptables rules directly is most complete [06:42] ok, sorry you are right; I meant are the iptables included with linux fully featured? :P [06:42] not sure how to cat and pipe that to pastebinit sorry [06:42] ok thanks [06:42] since 8.04 the code has been merged within Ubuntu and since 8.04-alpha5, Wubi can also be found in the Ubuntu Live CD. [06:42] but does shorewall have a gui?

[06:52] no great loss considering i barely use titlebars [06:52] Kyro_: heh.. gnome all the way. sec and ill check out cube proper [06:53] thanks ^_^ [06:53] pygmymath: yeah there is that but for what I use if for no real reason to have compiz ;] [06:53] HELP! when i try to install awn i get this message Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [06:53] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [06:53] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [06:53] or been moved out of Incoming. [06:53] Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that [06:53] the package is simply not installable and a bug report against [06:53] that package should be filed. [06:53] The following information may help resolve the situation: [06:53] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [06:53] avant-window-navigator: Depends: libawn0 (>= 0.2.1) [06:53] E: Broken packages [06:54] bazhang: mostly use terminal apps heh.. mocp for great justice! [06:54] rybotsky, i *JUST* told you what to do [06:55] lol Daisuke_Ido [06:55] avant-window-navigator-bzr [06:55] Kyro_: ok never mind the cube is beautiful [06:55] the versions are conflicting, you CANNOT install the other version of AWN [06:55] pygmymath, really?!!? I was hoping it would be, I have a box here with 8mb onboard graphics and the cube works great on that [06:55] now to figure out why xv doesn't work for me [06:55] Kyro_: lemme run benchmark [06:55] tanner it is supported if you have it, but the rollout of that protocol is very sparse afaik [06:56] people will drewl seeing cube on eeepc ^_^ [06:56] rybotsky, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/libs/libawn0 [06:56] im using the ubuntu logo for cube caps [06:56] Kyro_: get a 4 gigger though, disable logs or set them up to log to a ramdisk [06:56] :) [06:56] yea i was looking earlier id definatelly want the better one [06:56] Kyro_: oh and if you can get the ramupgrade dont forget osx :P [06:57] Kyro_: I dont want the 9" screen though.. power consumptionheh [06:57] lolz ubuntu is all I need :) [06:57] ere4si, that isn't going to work either, he's trying to get the applets from the bzr repo working [06:57] k [06:57] jeez louise [06:58] 80 fps looking at irssi which is transparent [06:58] i have no clue what i'm doing here :D [06:58] haha [06:58] 100 + looking a normal window [06:58] I know a guy who bought (the more expensive) windows installed eeepc... and it runs slllloooowww... especially Office. Then I showed him a youtube with compiz stuff and such... hehe. [06:58] I bought 10 SD cards, 8 of them work in my camera, and I can read/copy them to my Dapper box. The other 2 work in the camera, but Dapper says they aren't initialized? They are all Sandisk 32m cards. Solved? I accidentally unplugged my USB hub, and when I plugged it in, the 2 cards now work! [06:58] pygmymath, http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_image_products.php?input[category_id]=1611 those are the 4 they have listed [06:58] back to #kubuntu! [06:58] xv works when set to NV05 video bliitter [06:58] but not when set to NV17 video texture :\ [06:59] pygmymath, the only difference I can see in those is black or white, 4gb sd card included or not [06:59] I have a laptop. Acer Aspire 3103WMLi, with ATIn Radeon Xpress 1100 [06:59] bazhang: my 4965 is a 11n capable card, and the intel firmware supports 11n, yet i cannot tune to 11n, any idea? [06:59] no 9" screen option [06:59] Can I install Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 on it? [06:59] tanner: what about your router? [06:59] tanner, probably because the driver doesn't do 11n yet. [06:59] Kyro_: 9" is later this year. go black.. ive got the white and its nice.. but black'd be nicer [06:59] black looks more durable [07:00] bought a black ps3.. hehe [07:00] Kyro_: got mine second hand from a friend (no delivery and ram on it's way (woo!) [07:00] bazhang: router is 11n. [07:00] pygmymath, thanks for the heads up, hopefully they make an improved 7" because id rather the smaller screen actuall - to conserve power [07:00] Daisuke_Ido: which driver do you speak of? iwl4965 supports 11n [07:00] is there a way to reboot xkb (or maybe x) from terminal? [07:00] tanner, doesn't on my laptop [07:00] in HK (where I live) these things sell like hotcakes. [07:00] * Daisuke_Ido shrugs [07:01] Why wouldn't I be able to access/mount my ftp server using nautlius's connect to server feature? [07:01] Meneertje, HK always loves those kinds of things, id love to visit HK [07:01] Kyro_: theres some awesome sites out there, including an install script that'll set gnome up sweetly [07:01] those ppl love these gadgets [07:01] but i am not chinese, i am dutch.. but live in hk [07:01] pygmymath, The Ubuntu folks should consider a EEEbuntu version ^_^ [07:02] ubuntu-eee.tuxfamily.org [07:02] Kyro_: eeeXubuntu is already out :P [07:02] I can access my server with other clients, and I can access to some other servers using nautilus but not to some servers. What may be the difference between them. [07:02] LOL really !! LOL [07:02] Kyro_: but you can install ubuntu standard style and then mod it quite nicely - it's what i've got atm :P [07:02] in hk there are really nice pc shopping malls... you know a few floors with lots and lots of pc suppliers and related stuff. [07:02] Daisuke_Ido: it is in >2.6.24 wireless-experimental (linuxwireless.org) has the driver which supports it. also compat-wireless supports it [07:03] ah ha [07:03] so we just don't have it yet? [07:03] Daisuke_Ido: ubuntu is a bit slow to catch up, likely wont be available in 8.10 either [07:03] Meneertje, thatd be so fun ^_^ pygmymath, how do you install ubuntu - theres no disc drive is there? [07:03] i would expect it by 8.10 surely [07:04] external drive [07:04] Daisuke_Ido: unfortunately documentation on getting it to work is non-existent [07:04] it's *already* in 2.6.24, that's hardy's kernel [07:04] Kyro_: usb cdrom, ootable usb or netboot - take yer pick ;) [07:04] nice [07:05] Daisuke_Ido: according to the channel topic in #ipw2100, LED and .n support is disabled [07:05] (in 2.6.24) [07:05] pity [07:05] Kyro_: if you're going with ubuntu either get the sd card or go with a minimal install of ubuntu though.. 3 gig is alot for an os when you only have 4 heh [07:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [07:05] pygmymath, very true [07:05] Meneertje, thanks :) [07:06] its a shame [07:06] www.eeeuser.com has a wiki as well for getting a full ubuntu on there [07:06] Kyro_: mind you 2gig sd cards are a quid off amazon :D [07:06] bazhang: good site [07:07] pygmymath, how many usb ports does the eee have? [07:07] hard to stream HD tv over 11g with WPA2 and multiple devices :( [07:07] Happy St. Patrics day, all. Sorry for OT, but hey, hi. :P [07:07] like 2-3 [07:07] I have a 4gb usb dongle - I can use that to install ubuntu [07:07] thats 12gb right there Javid [07:07] just get 3 x 4 GB dongles [07:08] raided thumbdrives [07:08] I like it [07:08] Kyro_: 3x [07:08] Kyro_: how many drives do you want sticking out the side really? :P [07:08] personally i don't really like the eeepc... but its good though that its so popular. [07:09] Meneertje: it takes some getting used to. but its one damn sweet piece of hardware. [07:09] pygmymath, I was just thinking that lol [07:10] the eee pc is the non pov version of the olpc [07:10] :p [07:10] Kyro_: small keyboard took me about a day.. one key still gets me but im fine if i concentrate a little [07:10] Kyro_: love having an overclock button though :D === [NNUser] is now known as ike_x [07:10] pygmymath, heheheheh reminds me of back in the day on my old 486 - it had an overclock button too [07:11] maybe because i unconsiously compare it with my regular (lenovo) laptop.. that looks like a soviet tank. (which I like, indestructible haha). The eeepc is like a lady while mine laptop is like a wrestler.. haha. [07:11] turbo! [07:11] lenovos are awesome [07:11] turbo thats the one [07:11] Meneertje: its tougher than you think quite well built - feels sturdy.. no tank though :P [07:11] I want to find a USB hub with all the ports on the same side, plug a bunch of cheap flashdrives into them, then ducttape them together and raid them [07:11] lolz Meneertje nice comparison [07:11] ghetto external hd [07:11] hate acers when the screen bends n shit [07:11] pardon my french [07:12] lol javid === Azer_ is now known as Azer [07:12] how do i shot dead flash memory [07:12] I wonder if they CAN be raided.. [07:12] Javid, you can get some very fast Corsair flash drives [07:12] I mostly want capacity [07:12] obviously, a real external drive would be cheaper and better, but this line of thought amuses me [07:12] Javid, you can get them up to 8GB I think ,maybe even 16GB let me check [07:12] Javid: you can get any drive and get LVM [07:13] !ot [07:13] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[07:14] £1* [07:14] oh god, an offtopic chat, let's shit ourselves in rage [07:14] hehe [07:14] Javid: this is a support channel [07:14] I asked a support question. See?

Came with windows, got rid of it within 5 minutes, installed feisty on it.. (is still feisty right now, because its runny nicely, don't want to ruin that)... had some issues with sound and wireless at first, but fixed that. Now all is working perfectly. Fun [07:15] Javid: great, please limit your discussion to that [07:15] fr500: im waiting for questions :) [07:15] I'm waiting for an answer [07:15] and it is about ubbuntu on an eee [07:15] ^^ [07:15] and also raiding flashes in ubuntu .. hmm [07:16] im trying to figure out how to install ubuntu from usb flash drives lol [07:16] Javid: please repeat your question, the offtopic chat took it away from my scroll back [07:16] from that guide I was linked earlier :) [07:16] !install | Kyro_ [07:16] Kyro_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[07:39] chris062689, sorry but there may not be a solution to give [07:39] !br | ZehRique [07:39] ZehRique: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [07:39] hello I have a problem with installing ubuntu 7.10 [07:39] By empty space I mean unpartitioned space [07:39] Could anyone tell me how to get "Active Python" installed on my computer? [07:40] when i do apt-get install mplayer, there are a list of suggested packages that i'd like apt to install as well.. is there a command to get the suggested packages? [07:40] Thanks! [07:40] TomBond: whats wrong? [07:40] cameron, just copy the list and apt-get install it [07:40] Kyro_:I'll probably just use Gutsy then. [07:41] you can add multiple package names in the command like that [07:41] whe i start the install form the livecd it says loadin linux kerrnal, goes to 100% and then freezs [07:41] TomBond: What Ubuntu version are you using? [07:41] 7.10 [07:41] chris062689, check back later on :) thats what id do [07:41] Javid: ah, so simple :P [07:41] :) [07:41] TomBond: Try out Hardy, that may fix the problem your having. [07:41] ok [07:41] which version is that again [07:41] TomBond: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha6 [07:42] ok thanks a bunch [07:42] ]/leave uni time [07:42] TomBond: it's the newer version, 8.04 [07:42] TomBond: Warning, still testing software, shouldn't use production machines, bla bla bla [07:42] TomBond: Thouh I do hear the new filesystem may sometimes be unstable, so play it safe. [07:42] ok [07:42] TomBond: Remember to back up anything you need before installing. [07:42] chris062689, agreed [07:42] ill give it a shot [07:43] Helping people is fun! :D [07:43] Especially when I know what I'm talking about :) [07:43] Well, kind of.. [07:44] :(( [07:44] I'm trying to debug why it takes so long for my computer to wake up... based on the log messages the longest gaps (6seconds and 8 seconds) have to do with trying to bring up eth0 (lan) then after it bring up (eth1) wireless it says, ok eth1 has the connection, I'll switch now. Does anyone know how to wake the computer first, then try to bring up the networks, and change the default network to eth1? I think this would improve [07:45] I need help trying to add space to my ntfs partition via gnome partition manager [07:45] !ro | cristian [07:45] cristian: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [07:45] ArthurArchnix: is this wake up from suspend to ram, hibernate or shutdown? [07:45] ;jlkjljljklj [07:46] Ziroda1: Suspend to RAM. No changes made from a defaut Gutsy install yet. [07:47] I was reading the Debian wiki and it says to use swsusp and pm-utils, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to have gone in that direction. I think it's still using acpi and config files under acpi/events.d or soem such. [07:47] ArthurArchnix: ah then can't help you on that sorry [07:47] What does the option "round to cylinders" mean? [07:48] no problems. Thanks anyway Ziroda1 [07:49] hey guys, can i link a file to show its contents on the desktop the same way that home/usr/Desktop does? [07:50] Can anyone help me with a partitioning question? [07:51] !ask | scone [07:51] scone: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:51] Maybe. [07:51] hey guys. I thought you might get a kick out of this. Hit up google and search for "ubuntu logo" take a look at the 3rd pic at the top :) [07:51] How can I determine the version number of my graphics driver 'intel' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [07:51] can I see nautilus messages in verbose [07:51] xD nice response [07:51] I don't think that's very work safe magik :P [07:51] (I already know what it is) [07:51] If it's what I'm thinking of. [07:51] back [07:51] I wanted to look for an ubuntu logo for the top of my cube and i got that :P [07:51] 5 girls [07:51] it probably is.. NSFW :P [07:52] Nothing on google is anymore. [07:52] scone, do you know what a cylinder is? [07:52] not exactly [07:52] Sauvin so basically no haha [07:52] Hi everyone. I'm going to buy a dell computer, is it better to buy it with ubuntu or windows and then get rid of windows and install ubuntu. The second option would work out cheaper, but would the computer be set up best for the ubuntu installation ? [07:52] scone, you know that a disk is divided up into tracks and sectors, yes? Tracks are concentric paths along which data are written? [07:53] Sauvin yeah [07:54] Mmkay, a hard drive may consist of one or more platters, each of which may (or may not) be double-sided. A cylinder is a set of tracks, all of which are the same distance from the spindle. [07:55] pidgin causes sh: jackd: not found to occur a lot.. how do I fix that? [07:55] Harveysgw1: what wireless card does it have? or is this a desktop [07:56] its a desktop [07:56] I think I understand. [07:56] its just a 530 desktop [07:56] Harveysgw1: what about the video card? do you know that by chance? nvidia/ati/intel and what number === xero is now known as tanner [07:56] nvidia [07:57] i dont know, i think i can choose === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:57] can anyone tell me how to get windows messenger onto my ubuntu pc [07:57] Harveysgw1: just a sec let me check something [07:57] thankyou [07:57] Sauvin, if say we look at the track on the outer edge. A cylinder would be the outer track on every platter. Right? [07:58] scone, yes. [07:58] hey guys, because of windows improper shutdowns, sometimes ubuntu has trouble mounting my ntfs drive, i have to manually mount it with this command -- sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/disk-1 -o force -- how can i make the drive automount with a force parameter? fstab or script run at login? === blue-frog__ is now known as blue-frog [07:59] Sauvin, awesome. Good explaination thanks. So what does rounding the cylinders mean? [07:59] smallfry: you cannot get windows messenger on Ubuntu, however you can talk to your MSN friends through MSN using the program called pidgin [07:59] pidgin or amsn [07:59] Ziroda1, does msn not run through wine? [07:59] bod_: not the latest version [08:00] smallfry, amsn works great [08:00] ok ty ;~) [08:00] i know its possible to get windows messenger [08:00] better than the official client :p [08:00] hello how to copy the deb (updates) in ubuntu 7.10 desktop? i would like to copy the updates to my usb. thanks. [08:00] i second amsn [08:00] Rounding to cylinder boundaries means starting partitions on even cylinder boundaries - in other words, starting a partition on track 0, sector 0, head 0 of a given cylinder. This makes for simplified seek operations. [08:00] but u cant play games like checkers in it [08:00] Thanks. [08:00] drafts!!!! [08:00] Kalamansi: look at AptOnCd [08:01] bod_, maybe your drive has some data corruption - i would suggest buying and running SpinRite 6 over it [08:01] Erm, forget "track 0" (I'm still used to thinking in 2d).. just 'sector 0, head 0', but you get what I was trying to say. [08:01] you can get it from grc.com [08:01] hey guys, what channel should I go to if I want to learn more about gnome internals, particularly with a view to eventually contributing to fixes to ubuntu? [08:02] chrome I don't think there is a channel [08:02] Kyro_, i no what the problem is, when windows crashes and i have to 'power off' it is still linked to the hard drive, then ubuntu thinks something else is using my drive,.,. if windows is shut down properly there is no problem,. but it frequently crashes so i need the force mount [08:02] hi I want to ask about configuring gnome [08:02] Harveysgw1: if you go for the nvidia card it should not be an issue; is this intel or amd cpu? 32bit or 64bit--not really important unless you want to watch flash as that can be a pain to setup with 64bit [08:02] bod_, ohhhh okay [08:02] ask away no [08:02] Ziroda1 : i want to copy it. whats the command again? gkpsudo? i want to be a root. coz when i use my user i cannot copy all the updates [08:02] it is 32 bit [08:02] Kalamansi: gksudo? [08:02] I'm looking at my partitions in the gnome partition manager and I have two unallocated spaces. I want to make them into one space so I can partition the whole thing. How would I do that? [08:02] Kalamansi, gksudo or sudo or su [08:03] you know how OS X has that finder window that has 3 panes with progressive subfolders as you move right? [08:03] Hi, I was just wondering if I upgrade my operating system, will all my software be overridden? [08:03] and intel [08:03] scone, gparted [08:03] Kyro_: bugger :) === artenius is now known as noble- [08:03] I know enlightenment E17 has them also [08:03] chrome: you can talk to gnome developers on #gnome on gimp.net You can talk to ubuntu developers on #ubuntu-dev . You learn how to participate at wiki.ubuntu.com [08:03] how can I get them in Gnome? [08:03] bod_ that's what I'm using [08:03] would wifi work on it you think, or should i add a modem aswell? [08:03] scone, oh,.,. not sure how it works ,.,.;~) === Kyro_ is now known as Kyro [08:03] Cool! just got ventrilo client working!

[08:04] oh [08:04] Starnestommy bod_ : still i cannot copy the file.it needs a root. how to login as root in desktop ubuntu 7.10? so that i could copy all the updates [08:04] !root | Kalamansi [08:04] Kalamansi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:04] Ziroda1: thanks [08:04] so does anyone know how to make the folders display as they do in OSX and enlightenment e17? [08:05] scone: had to copy a file from system32 windows though [08:05] wow... the manpage on networkmanager blows. It doesn't even say where to find the config files. [08:05] chrome: No Problem [08:05] Anyone know where to find them? [08:05] Kalamansi, to become root in a terminal session type sudo -s [08:05] ubotu, LOL [08:05] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.

Just wanted to hear it from here. Thank you once again. [08:07] weird [08:07] bless you [08:07] haha no worries Harveysgw1 ;] [08:08] there is a way to display folder/subfolders/files/programs from left to right in 3 or 4 panes using one window - this is how OS X works as well as Enlightenment E17......can this be done in Gnomre???????? [08:08] bazhang, hey dude,.,. im well nervous, i have a GCSE exam in 1 hour ,.,.,.,. [08:08] can ubuntu get viruses?

[08:08] thanks bazhang ;~) [08:08] Kalamansi: try sudo apt-get [08:08] smallfry: not really no [08:08] Kalamansi, what is the exact command your using? [08:09] i am unable to install bin files on my PC... ubuntu7.10... i made them executable by chmod and when i execute it with "./filename.bin" it says no such file or directory...

[08:09] for linux that is [08:09] cool [08:09] I even identified to nickserv as artenius [08:09] smallfry: ubuntu would need you to pretty much want to get a virus. t [08:09] dishayu: make sure you're in the directory where that file is [08:09] yet it's showing another nick to all of you [08:09] dishayu: chmod +x filename.bin [08:09] smallfry, google tarbomb [08:09] i was wondering cause viruses fucked over my windows pc [08:09] Starnestommy : did [08:09] !language | smallfry [08:09] qzio : did that already [08:09] smallfry: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[08:12] Kalamansi, actually i think u can do it with the mouse, if you open nautilus as root,.,. in terminal type sudo nautilus then try it [08:13] Is there a chm viewer in ubuntu besides GnoCHM?

[08:18] googlah|sleepy, not sure,. but its definately a default thing in the text installer,.,. you might be able to choose VESA after the gui install by doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:18] ok thanks all [08:19] bod_ : i click file system, var, cache,apt,archives.. and my usb name is kalamansi [08:19] hi there, i'm getting "rndc connect failed: 127.0.0.1# 953 timed out" on reboot/shutdown how do i open up the local loop back for the port 953 in my iptables config? [08:19] yeah, of course. thing is, the gui installer chooses wrong driver, and the screen goes blank at start up. meaning i can't do anything. so i think i will have to try the alternative. bod_. [08:20] Kalamansi, try and give me the info in this syntax /var/cache/apt/archive/packagename /media/devicename [08:20] bod_ i am trying to copy all the packages [08:21] googlah|sleepy, after the gui install, reboot, et to grub, then choose the second line, the single user boot,. that will give u a command prompt then run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then choose your settings then reboot choose first line,.,.voila [08:21] where is Apache's proxy_balancer for ubuntu 6.10 ?

[08:39] michael__: That happens if you uninstall the human theme for openoffice. Confirm that you still have it installed.

[08:42] bod_: I thought that .xsession should be run on login if it existed [08:42] bod_: ion [08:42] *ion3 [08:42] bod_ its archives not archive hehehe [08:43] i dont no about that sorry [08:43] ArthurArchnix: The terminal says "Status: installed" [08:43] Kalamansi, change the comand i gave you,,. the cp one to the correct path name [08:43] michael__: Ok... well, maybe something simpler then. Open up openoffice. [08:43] bod_ but still operation not permitted [08:43] Kalamansi, what command sudo cp? [08:43] ArthurArchnix: Alright === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:44] michael__: then go >tools >options >view and make sure that under Menu there is a checkmark in the box that says show icons [08:44] bod_ sudo cp -rp /var/cache/apt/archives/* /media/KALAMANSI/ [08:44] Kalamansi, you are doing all this through terminal yer?

[08:47] no damn [08:47] sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archives/* /media/KALAMANSI/ [08:47] michael__: it's just about making sure you have the right theme installed I think... try this...

Why, is it causing you problems? [08:48] ArthurArchnix: I seem to get it a lot [08:49] Kalamansi, did it work?

[08:51] :) === blue-frog__ is now known as blue-frog [08:51] michael__: Sorry. That was my best guess. At least, that's what the problem was when I had problems. Remember where you were when you checked for the icons in menu? Try changing those icons to something else. There's default. Human. Chrystal. Try changing it then restarting writer. Failing that, all I can think is to try reinstalling office. [08:51] lesshaste: Under >tools >preferences >sounds have you tried changing it from auto to alsa? [08:52] ArthurArchnix: trying that now [08:52] ! supybot [08:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about supybot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:53] Is there any command to sync installation of packages with a distro ? thanks [08:53] xdpyinfo reports a line " dimensions: 1280x800 pixels (289x21 millimeters)" in error.

How can I troubleshoot this? === killvador is now known as gautierh [08:53] ArthurArchnix: Tried and failed. I'll try reinstalling Office after I'm done using it. Thanks for the help! [08:54] michael__: wait [08:54] cheesebob: it copies stderr(where error messages usually go) to stdout(standard output). try this command: prince_jammys 2&>foo and then open the new file "foo" [08:54] michael__: what might be easier, at least, if you're going to reinstall, is to try this first.

[08:59] MeatPopsicle : can i ask something? [08:59] Javid, dpkg -l [09:00] thanks [09:00] Kalamansi: You may, though I doubt I can offer much help [09:00] MeatPopsicle : where is more secure? ubuntu server 7.10 or openbsd? [09:00] hi all [09:00] Kalamansi: And correct I was, I haven't a clue... [09:01] Kalamansi, I'd bet on openbsd [09:02] Hello, do I have to have gnome installed for ubuntu to work? [09:02] Kalamansi: That's easy. Both have no open ports by default, so after a default install, they are the same. But since it's impossible to just use a default install, and some configuration is necessary, the answer is it depends on the system administrator. IF that happens to be you, then I would say the more secure system will be the one you can get the most help with. [09:02] Kalamansi: My initial feeling is to agree with Javid, but I have no specific reason for it aside from a couple of my more IT-centric friends use it [09:02] Kalamansi, maybe openbsd, but it depend's of the administrator skills := [09:02] :) [09:02] of course, a user who's too dumb for his smarts can make anything insecure [09:02] * MeatPopsicle steps down from the microphone in a pwned state of being [09:03] ArthurArchnix : i see. im running both server openbsd and ubuntu 7.10 and my dekstop ubuntu i like it [09:03] jescis, don't you know kubuntu? xubuntu? ubuntu-server? [09:03] Kalamansi: If the question is, if a super-awesome-talented system administrator configured both openbsd and ubuntuserver which would be more secure, I'd go with openbsd like everyone else. === matysecek is now known as matysek [09:04] ArthurArchnix : im still experimenting it. i wanna try to run some windows applications to ubuntu desktop [09:05] ArthurArchnix : currently my servers works pretty well. but i dont have policies yet. are you running server ubuntu too?

Try this link http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/ [09:53] tnx [09:53] no does anyone know the answer [09:53] let me check it out [09:53] ah... been there [09:53] did not quite understand [09:53] but let me go through it again [09:53] any fluxbox/blackbox usrz here? [09:54] eh eh? [09:54] i am a problem [09:54] ^^ because i dont want type in "sudo touch /fastboot" every single time [09:54] u should use "gksudo" [09:54] just list "gksudo touch /fastboot"? [09:54] *like [09:54] lol [09:55] well its not going to help you [09:55] hr|Starbucks: no. Don't do that. gksudo is sudo for graphical apps. Touch is command line. [09:55] hahaha (lol) [09:55] xD [09:55] i love messing around with peoples heads [09:55] (LOL) [09:55] ^^ im not very talented in ubuntu [09:55] ArthurArchnix, thanks for trying to help... I'll try to look through this in detail [09:56] nor am I dude, nor am I. [09:56] buddha: Good luck. I'm no good at anything but default grub installs myself, or else I'd take a closer look at your issue. [09:56] I think anyone talented with Ubuntu would gopher Debian, Ubuntu holds ur hand like you're a baby [09:56] buddha: If you end up reinstalling, use the alternate cd. It lets you choose where to install grub. [09:56] htg thanks for your help .. i will come back later .. ^^ because i didnt get it so far [09:57] oh np... the URL u gave me should help [09:57] last time... I guess I overlooked some of the info [09:57] oh ok [09:57] that's awesome [09:57] that's good to know [09:57] awesome [09:57] byebye see ya [09:57] thanks [09:57] usually I figure out my problems by googling and backing up because often things screw you over [09:57] especially with Ubuntu Wifi w/ Ndiswrapper compatibilities... [09:58] I intended to ask about that alternate CD.... but, it had slipped my mind... thanks for reminding me and answering the question about the alternate cd [09:59] is anyone here knowledgable about kernel params and the intel 845 chipset? [09:59] maybe [10:00] I cant boot the ubuntu graphical install, as it trys to load agpgart and intel_agp modules even though I have disabled the onboard graphics in bios, this causes a kernel oops [10:01] I managed to get ubuntu installed using the alt install, but i have to edit the modprobe blacklist before the fresh install will boot [10:01] hey guys, the other day i plugged my ipod in while rhythmbox and tried to add music to my ipod, but once i took my ipod out it stoped working, its as if i have no music on my ipod and in windows i cant do anything but update [10:01] Yon i think the ipod firmware changed how it stores music and older ipod tools will wipe the misic databse [10:02] but dont quote me on that [10:02] Yon: this is why you have "safely remove USB hardware" in windows, don't know how to apply it in Ubuntu though. Had my MP3-player corrupted this way once. [10:02] something to do with needing a key from your ipod was the fix i think [10:03] yon: some times it more time to add the music than what the computer tells you and remember to unmount the ipod before unplugging it [10:03] en4rab: so what's the question [10:03] ok, so rhythmbox shouldnt break my ipod? [10:03] has anyone tried running a binary made by installjammer on ubuntu 7.10-server ? [10:04] yon: no way mans [10:04] i run the binary file in shell and nothing happens. [10:04] Yon: not really [10:04] the thing is if i plug it in now, rhythmbox sees the ipod normally and all the music thats on it [10:04] Is there a proper way to disable loading the intel video modules from the boot prompt? or do i have to use alt install then edit the blacklist if i want to reinstall [10:05] hello can anyone help me [10:05] Yon the ipod uses a database of music for its track listing, it doesnt scan the filesystem [10:05] do we cant sorry, you're going to have to go somewhere else [10:05] dakkyLAP: describe your problem instead. [10:05] *no [10:05] anyone ? [10:05] i just installed ubuntu desktop 7.10 to a hdd and now it ask me for a username when it booted off the hdd [10:05] yon: dont use rymthmbox to load music, either use the terminal and copy paste it or dont use the terminal [10:06] what username and password to enter? [10:06] no duh it asks for a username [10:06] but with an ipod i cant copy paste [10:06] the ones YOU entered before? [10:06] i've entered a password before, not a username ? [10:06] it was booted off the cd [10:06] dakkyLAP: Didn't you set a username and password during the install? [10:07] hah wtf [10:07] lol [10:07] i thought i entered organisation [10:07] not username [10:07] smallfry, in windows i have to use itunes, if i copy paste it doesnt play the music, it stores it like an external hdd stores data [10:08] yon: you should be able to. go to the settings on the ipod. there should be usb modes, one used as a thumb drive and the other for a mp3 player [10:08] dude, there are two different "username" like things you enter [10:08] thanks anyway [10:08] en4rab: I can't think of a better way than the way you've done it. Alt, then blacklist. Do you think it's possible to force a video driver at boot though? [10:08] one is how you show up on LAN and one is your username... [10:08] if you cant remember those things well you'll have to re-install I'm afraid ubuntu doesn't have a password recovery for those kinda stupid mistakes... [10:08] or maybe they do..hm [10:09] dakkyLAP: Did you set up a username when you installed? [10:09] linux is cool and flexible however you need to do things in terminal , and if not then get some scripts which are available on the net . and i hope the new ubuntu will have those scripts configured in by default that will persua more people into linux [10:09] ArthurArchnix: im not sure i saw reference to a brokenmodules= kernel param that seems to no longer exist [10:09] you have to set up a username when u instal it doesent give u a choice [10:09] smallfry, im looking but i cant find any kind of usb settings on my ipod [10:09] has anyone tried running a binary made by installjammer on ubuntu 7.10-server ? [10:10] i run the binary file in shell and nothing happens. [10:10] and there is aparently an i810= param that isnt documented apart from its existence [10:10] en4rab: take a look here.. maybe there is something? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [10:11] alromaithi: I'll agree with you there, I've been using the tux on and off for a couple of years now, but even as a pc geek, and licenced tech, I fint myseld getting impatient with having to repeat the same long console commands [10:11] yon: the other thing is get a program called wine. wine makes it so u can install windows programs on linux [10:11] en4rab: Maybe disable the framebuffer? [10:11] en4rab: Or set the vesa mode? [10:11] smallfry, u saying i should install itunes on wine? [10:12] yon: maybe that may be ur only choice left [10:12] hello! could someone help me to compile HTK? probably it misses the X headers, but I am not sure. [10:12] <|2-bits|> iTunes doesn't work too well on wine [10:12] <|2-bits|> in my experience [10:12] ya [10:12] ArthurArchnix: I thought about both of those things, which might work for a headless install, but i wanted to have the PCI nvidia working, I got it going in the end but it wasnt an elegant install [10:13] i hate itunes so much :s [10:13] sounds like you're two and three steps ahead en4rab [10:13] the only way to fix my hdd is by updateing my firmware right? [10:13] hi [10:13] hello [10:13] yon: if all else fails get a new mp3 player [10:14] Ideally id have liked to disable agpgart and intel_agp from the boot prompt so the normal install dick would boot [10:14] MeatPopsicle: , i think we are good hearted clever people :) , we can predict what consumers really want , the system market gets 40 % , and we know how to get the other 40% , however sadly we are lazy to write a shoutcast or a thread poll which can get votes and advertise it to recieve great number of vote sso these Homicidal Geeks can see t hat we are saying the truth then work on what the 40 % of w hat we know people want in th [10:14] eir Ubuntu System. [10:14] disk even oops [10:14] smallfry, lol [10:14] <|2-bits|> don't ipods work with rhythmbox [10:14] <|2-bits|> Works for me [10:15] alromaithi: This isn' t the best place for that. Type /join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss it [10:15] yon is having problems with it 2-bits. [10:15] I think this is probably a bug in the intel 810 graphics drivers in that they dont recognise the case where onboard graphics have been disabled in bios so they still try to init the now disabled card [10:15] |2-bits|, can i update my firmware from rhythmbox? [10:16] ArthurArchnix: no more discussions about it , im lazy for that aswel [10:16] <|2-bits|> Yon: Oh. I don't think so, no [10:16] peace everyone [10:16] hello to everyone.. :) [10:17] I' trying to voice-chat through gtalk.. [10:17] any idea? [10:17] Yon: Im sure i read a while ago that apple changed the ipod firmware so the music database needed a key from the Ipod or the ipod wouldnt read the updated database, so copying music to the ipod would result in your situation, ie the music is there but the ipod doesnt see it [10:18] I am facing a strange problem is linux :(. I have created a group master. Then I did adduser user master. I created a directory in root's directory (that is root is owner). then I did chown :master ./new-dir; chmod g+w ./new-dir; but then when I do 'touch a.txt' using the 'user' who is added to the group I get permission denied :( [10:18] ny idea where and what I am doing wrong?

I installed asla mixer tools increased all volumes yet no sounds :S [10:20] bullgard4, I doubt it [10:20] en4rab, Yeah ok i understand that but i put music on from itunes and it was working, then i pluged it into linux and i saw that rhythmbox can read my ipod so i tried adding a few albums through rhythmbox and after i ejected from rhythmbox i took my ipod out and it acted as if i have no music at all [10:21] @bullgard.. i don't think so... [10:21] imyousuf: have you logged out since you have added your user to the master group? [10:21] nope [10:21] imyousuf: what's the output of: ls -l / | grep new-dir [10:21] hello... is anybody else having problems with a skype update in ubuntu?

[10:21] imyousuf: replace new-dir of course [10:22] Yon when you tried tto add music to the ipod under linux it probably tried to update the database and broke the sha1 hash of the database [10:22] there is a fix for this im sure [10:22] may skype burn in hell.. LOL.. ;) [10:22] i think i read how to extrack your ipods keys so you can resign the database [10:22] imyousuf: so log out/log in. the new group membership will become effective [10:22] im trying to find a link now [10:23] Hi, I was hoping to get some technical advice [10:23] all that is needed to fix you song list is to resign the database [10:23] Hi, how do I get the the install-size of all packages installed in my system ?

Any logs or so, i could check? [10:24] the #git helped me with it :) [10:24] en4rab, ok how do i do this? [10:24] sybariten: compare which groups you're a part of and which you friend is a part of. [10:24] uh.. this channel is reaaaally busy!! :| [10:24] sybariten: groups username1 username2 [10:25] Yon: im looking for details now [10:26] anyone succeded in voice-talking with gtalk network? [10:26] en4rab, ok thank you :) [10:26] i am thinking of substituting my onboard sound card with a proper one. Since i have never done this in linux in general, is there something else i need to do? I mean other than pointin alsa to that card [10:27] antrik: Ich werde Deinem Rat folgen und auf Hardy warten. Jetzt scheint ja wieder alles zu funktionieren. -- In /etc/X11/xorg.conf eine Zeile in die Sektion 'Monitor' mit dem Text "DisplaySizeWidth_in_millimeters 330" ist nicht wirksam, so wie das bei FreeBSD wohl geht?

[10:33] that is a messy way to fix the problem but im unsure if gtkpod or any other linux ipod managers have integrated this functionality into the software [10:33] hi, please tell me what is the command to delete a file from a shell, and how t delete all files from the curent directory [10:33] en4rab, thanks :) [10:34] first of all id check to see if gtkpod has sorted this [10:34] smaila:http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [10:34] odd; tnx i try that [10:35] hi, please tell me what is the command to delete a file from a shell, and how t delete all files from the curent directory [10:35] simion314: rm filename and rm * to delete all files, but _be careful_ [10:35] simion314: rm filename will remove a file [10:36] thx to all [10:36] simion314: very carful [10:36] simion314: But as jpatrick points out, exercise care, particularly if you're doing this as root! [10:37] Yon that info is from september last year, id be surprised if gtkpod hasnt added hashing the database to its code [10:37] rm will not delete folders? [10:37] simion314: rm -r for folders [10:37] simion rm -rf [10:37] simion314: or just rmdir folderName [10:37] thx [10:39] simion314: again, be careful ;) [10:39] yes i am not root [10:39] i just delete some configuration files [10:42] Yon: are you still there? you might have a bit more luck ot the #gtkpod channel, ask to see if they have sorted the database hash problem [10:42] hey.. I'm trying to (voice) talk with my friends throught GTalk.. any idea? [10:44] en4rab, ok thanks ill try [10:45] en4rab, so i think if i use gtkpod to put music on my ipod i wont get this problem? [10:46] if gtkpod has updated their software to has the databse properly [10:46] hash even [10:46] if the ipod detects an invalid hash it will report no songs on the ipod [10:46] im looking to see if gtkpod have fixed this [10:48] Yon: Im fairly sure the latest gtkpod / libgpod should fix this problem [10:48] anyone know of any good mmorpgs for linux? [10:48] has anyone tried running a binary made by installjammer on ubuntu 7.10-server ? [10:48] the changelog for libgpod suggest they added the firewireid hash function [10:48] i run the binary file in shell and nothing happens. [10:49] caoo [10:49] en4rab, ill get it now, thanks for helping :) [10:50] in future avoid apple products, they might be shiney but apple are evil lol :) [10:50] en4rab: I don't think we have the right to tell users what not to spend their money on *glares* [10:50] could someone help me to compile HTK? probably it misses the X headers, but I am not sure. I've already installed libx11-dev, but it didn't help [10:50] odd: try www.ogame.org its not graphical but its as addictive as crack [10:51] cool thx man [10:51] its like a sort of space based civilisation [10:52] en4rab, lol, i dont know any other mp3 player that compares to the new nano that i can actally get here in South Africa :P [10:52] hi there [10:52] am a newcomer to ubuntu and was just wondering if someone could answer my question [10:52] SNuxoll: You are probably right but since apple introduced this sha1 hash just to break the aftermarket software I stand by my comments they are evil [10:53] en4rab: eh, my iPod's working just fine, 'though I'm using hardy [10:53] !ask | meyellow [10:53] meyellow: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[10:56] Yon it should do, if you want to be sure check on #gtkpod on freenode [10:57] they will know better [10:57] hehe its worth a try :P [10:57] en4rab: to be honest though, I don't really use Ubuntu to sync my iPod anymore, I just boot XP and use iTunes, less hassle [10:57] but the libgpod library changelog certaily indicates they added support to rehash the database [10:58] im *guessing* just adding another song with gtkpod should trigger a rehashing of the DB === iamlegend is now known as icesword [10:58] but you might want to backup your songs first [10:59] Could not open "iTunesDB.ext" for reading extended info.

[11:12] kLe: tried telepathy? [11:12] yes i know that [11:13] there is that . "Checking file systems..." [11:13] why not to use it ? it isnt good? [11:13] geo125: not all packages from 7.10 are availlable in 8.04 [11:13] geo125: because it isn't stable and released yet [11:13] geo125: No, it is not good. It is alpha. [11:13] geo125 and you will want an app that there is not packaged yet [11:14] ok thank u [11:14] kLe, I don't think there is a real great solution out there at the moment. Ekiga? I use Asterisk, but that requires you to set up an Asterisk server - it's a little overkill possibly. [11:14] @Myrtti: I tried to.. but I didn't achieve the result.. but I've only installed some stuff from the rep.. and from what I've read telepathy is only a framework, I'd need an app like ereseva to use it. but.. I can't find it! [11:14] geo125: i tried it, but the missing packages made me to use 7.10 [11:14] (ArthurArchnix): there is that . "Checking file systems..." [11:15] hr|Starbucks: Well, it could take a very long time. Depends on size of hard-drive. But it should only happen after every 30 mounts if you're using ext3 [11:15] @TH: yeh.. it seems that there's no plenty of solution.. the problem is that I would have to tell all my contact to move platform.. that's not a good news.. :( [11:15] hi, is there any way to know when I installed a program using aptitude or apt-get ?

But you know... you should probably stick with defaults. [11:17] but i just cant make the partitions on the c: for ubuntu in the manual mode, and in auto mode, he selects the entire drive, wich i don't want [11:18] SaddamBea: delete the c: partition, then create 2 new partitions for swap and file system [11:19] hi all [11:19] ok, no solution.. I'll try to open a thread on the forum.. thanks for your help.. [11:19] SaddamBea, and at the same time you should be able to mount your D: drive as an ntfs or fat partition under /dos or /windows or similar. [11:20] simion314 gotta do this in "manual" mode?

[11:23] my keyboard layout randomly changed to US, and I can't run terminals any more [11:23] hr|Starbucks: One way is to check out man fstab you'll learn how to turn off fstab for certain disks. [11:24] (ArthurArchnix): ok ^^ but i could use "sudo touch /fastboot" in the live cd and then .. i couild start up ubuntu without checking .. and then i could change the settings [11:25] spike_, I didn't have much luck on Google, I'm just going to live without hibernate for a while. I hope you figure it out. [11:26] TroubleHelix: Thank you . [11:26] hr|Starbucks: are you not able to boot your system?

ALSA? [11:29] ALSA\ [11:29] yes [11:30] Blou_Aap, Maybe a frequency / sample rate mismatch... You might want to Google search your audio chipset and see if others have problems with it. [11:30] (ArthurArchnix): brb [11:31] its onboard sound on my work pc [11:31] whit what software can i look up the hardware of my pc? [11:31] hr|Starbucks: in the amount of time you've spent trying to find away around this auto fsck you could have already completed the check. [11:33] Blou_Aap, Word, I'm just saying - find out the chipset, and google that, there may be some info you can learn from other's detective work. I usually just use the commandline tool 'alsamixer' to identify my card if I know ALSA is installed properly.

[12:46] typhox, sudo shutdown -r now [12:46] wow i never knew about wine [12:46] www.winhq.org [12:46] ok, thx [12:46] typhox type sudo shutdown -r now and enter your password when prompted to restart from console [12:46] typhox, $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart I think... it is early [12:47] Jack_Sparrow, using shutdown is way easier dude [12:47] Well MohammadBoozary, doesn't Thunderbird support header download only? [12:48] gdm restart doesn't reboot the box, only restarts X. shutdown is the way to go. [12:48] my video's wont display, sound works fine tosh tecra m1 correc`t codecs installed etc display card problem? card is a trident cyberblade XP4m32 [12:49] ActionParsnip, His question was restart... so that was what I gave him.. typing reboot is fewer characters to type than shutdown.. if that is an issue [12:49] Solaris444: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/XUbuntu [12:49] timfromtang, what players have you tried? [12:49] How do I restart a process from console? [12:49] Is there a way to use a proxy with apt-get? Thanks! [12:49] gxine and totem [12:49] with dvd's [12:49] Odd-rationale, set the http_proxy enviroment variable [12:49] have libcss2 etc installed [12:49] will not play any video formats it sems [12:49] typhox, I'd use ps -ef | grep [12:50] blank screen [12:50] Is there a way to make the progress bar for copying files only be at 100% when it's safe to unmount (ex: you copy a file from your hard drive to your usb flash drive and the copy dialog says complete, but the file isn't completely written) [12:50] X-Java, did you check your MD5s? [12:50] are you sure you have a good burn [12:50] what do u mean? [12:50] Are you sure your download is not corrupted. [12:50] tobi: Which file would I find that? [12:50] Or that your burn did not work. [12:50] typhox, the most left hand value is the pid. use sudo kill [12:50] by the way everyone: [12:50] Let's say I have a file that is solaris:user rwxrw-rw- [12:51] !enter | timfromtang, [12:51] timfromtang,: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:51] and i copy it to a folder that is solaris:user drw------- [12:51] timfromtang, you got win32codecs ? [12:51] I want the file I copied to automatically assume the permissions of the parent folder. [12:51] ok will do from now on thanks [12:51] ActionParsnip, I will look into it... So far the info I have been able to get from the net is that no one has been able to make it run... Maybe I am looking in the wrong places [12:51] timfromtang, thanks [12:52] thx for the lead [12:52] yes i have the win32 codecs installed I think that it is probably a display adapter problem accelleration issue? [12:52] hi [12:53] Odd-rationale, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto#head-09fab4df311ef78d0376d13547043811307c49fa [12:53] X-Java, When you get to the black screen.. can you hit clrt-alt F and get a cli login prompt? [12:53] when I test the video card on screen and graphics preferences it fails [12:53] tobi: Thanks! [12:53] F1 [12:53] hi [12:54] does any of you have any experiences with geforce 6100? [12:54] xipi, in what way? [12:54] timfromtang, try running glxgears [12:55] ActionParsnip: regarding compatibility issues [12:55] Jack_Sparrow: I can try it [12:55] xipi, compatible wth what? [12:55] xipi, 6000's should not be hard.. 6600 in this box [12:55] ? [12:55] i am looking at buying a new pc [12:55] wtf ? [12:55] and want to make sure, it will work well with ubuntu [12:56] melfardi, PLease stop.. that is not acceptable [12:56] xipi, how are you going to get a 6100? [12:56] isn't that an IGP? [12:56] xipi, yes, nvidia is great with ubuntu. get it in [12:56] ActionParsnip, not so fast. [12:56] sure [12:56] The 6100IGP might not be supported. [12:56] xipi: 6100 is integrated on motherboard? if that's the case i woulg get a intel based mobo instead of nvidia [12:56] Solaris444: it is on board an ECS [12:57] oh dude, don't you dare get an ecs mainboard. [12:57] erUSUL: why? [12:57] Solaris444: why not? [12:57] They are bottom bottom bottom of the barrel stuff. [12:57] Y a t'il des français ? [12:57] You can forget about that lasting more than 2 years. [12:57] !fr | melfardi [12:57] melfardi: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [12:58] Solaris444: any better idea? [12:58] Intel, MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS. [12:58] Any of those brands should be fine. [12:58] thank jack sparrow & wtf [12:58] xipi, I agree with Solaris444 [12:58] Solaris444: ok [12:58] i'll have a look [12:58] ctrl+alt+f1 has no effect === zMooTh__ is now known as zMooTh [12:59] Hello all [12:59] just watch out for anything with Realtek Gigabit LAN. Support for the 8168B is broken in kernels 2.6.21 to 2.6.23 [12:59] X-Java, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [12:59] X-Java, Wait.. did you say livecd worked? [13:00] Solaris444: but 10/100 Lan should be right, shouldn't it? [13:00] shure [13:00] Jack-Sparrow: life CD of debian and dsl worked but live CD of XUbuntu gets black screen after booting [13:00] should be fine [13:00] ok === Guest252 is now known as skunkworks_ [13:01] Solaris444: i'll get back and look for another board [13:01] only 10/100 chipset i have ever found that didn't work was this bizarre atheros one. [13:01] only ever seen one of those. [13:01] in 5 years. [13:01] glxgears behaves oddly reports an increasing frame rate over time starts at 1161 frames in 5.5 seconds 209fps and has increased to 1921 frames in the same time but the gear display is just slwly and jerkily turning [13:01] sure thing. [13:01] I am having problem with sound in my compaq presario v3000 laptop as it stopped working suddenly, help needed [13:01] Solaris444: the machine, i am using right now, has an atheros lan [13:02] Solaris444: it works great [13:02] \join #españa [13:02] anybody knows how to check the owner of a gnuppg encrypted file? [13:02] well that's good to know. it was some atheros chipset I had never heard of. [13:02] *gnupg [13:02] ecs is bad and that is a fact? [13:02] yes [13:03] Solaris444: anyway, thanks a lot [13:03] no problem xipi. [13:03] how can i view the status of my battery on my laptop in ubuntu?? [13:03] can I at least install files and apps on live CD of ubuntu 7.10 (I have burned it on DVD and it's not my personal computer but I like linux) [13:04] has the hardy beta been released yet? [13:05] bod_ no [13:05] X-Java: if you have enough ram [13:05] <[chr0n0s]> bod_, alpha5 i think [13:05] alpha 6 actually [13:05] anyone know if there have been any recent updates to wine .9.57? i had to downgrade and was kind of wondering when i can try upgrading that again [13:05] by recent i mean in the last 7 days [13:06] rsk: I mean burn apps on live cd so that they will be always on cd [13:06] X-Java: um sure you have to master a new one then [13:06] hi, how can i reload xorg without restarting everything? i mean with the cmd 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' it works but generates a backup file, i want to ignore this backup file, there is another cmd or a way to not generate this backup file? [13:06] X-Java: afaik there are instructions on the gentoo wiki [13:06] rsk: can I do it on windows? [13:07] akan01n, press ctrl+alt+backspace [13:07] X-Java: probably, but it will be a mess [13:07] akan01n, the backup file has no influence on your new configuration [13:07] action i think he means when his xserver fucks up like mine does on occasion and i have to reset and then reinstall my drivers [13:08] stupid nvidia graphics card [13:08] Lamego: i know, but im trying to find a hack for my touchscreen, rotating the screen, so everytime i rotate im going to generate a backup, end of the year i'll have 10milions of backup files.. hehehe [13:08] just go in sudo and delete them [13:08] hi [13:08] I have a problem [13:09] whats the problem [13:09] hi [13:09] rsk: and can I install ubuntu and windows on same hd? [13:09] akan01n, you can delete them at the end of the day :) [13:10] java you need to make 2 partitions to do that [13:10] is there a way to disable the user password prompt (for things that require root privileges)? [13:10] before I was having Ubuntu and Windows Vista [13:10] yowshi: yeah, but every backup is created with timestap at the end, xorg.conf.200803173872873 [13:10] yes [13:10] so thats what those numbers are [13:10] X-Java: install windows first then ubuntu and then you can dualboot [13:10] you can still just delete em akan [13:11] and I want to install windows XP... but after I install it my ubuntu and vista is gone and now I have only XP [13:11] yowshi: auto? i dont want to delete them manually, i dont know how to do it [13:11] yup Ein36 [13:11] is there way to get back my ubuntu and vista? [13:11] that is exactly what should have happened [13:11] don't suppose its possible to update from 32 bit gutsy to 64 bit gutsy without completely reinstalling? [13:11] nope [13:11] Anyone know of a simple/secure web proxy I can run on a shell account temporarily? Need to buy something from a site not accessible here [13:11] i would use sudo pcmanfm [13:11] rsk: and is it possible to create a linux partition instde windows partition so that it won't be bigger than 5 gb? [13:11] nope Rel1k [13:11] XP overwrites the MBR with NTLDR [13:11] then just use pcman gui and do it that way [13:11] ReL1K, it's not [13:11] timfromtan1: this article mentions toshset but don't know if that helps video problems http://org.against.org/ubuntu-on-tecra-m1/ [13:11] doesn't ask permission. [13:12] sure X-Java [13:12] hehe k [13:12] and how? [13:12] thanks legend [13:12] anyone got 64 bit gutsy running? run into any issues vs 32 bit? [13:12] X-Java: use a partition program. :) [13:12] timfromtan1: yw good luck [13:12] which? [13:12] hi [13:12] X-Java: one of your liking [13:12] is there way to get back my ubuntu and vista? [13:12] I mean create a virtual hd [13:13] virtual hd? [13:13] rel1k i just switched from 32 to 64bit. Only problem is java but I hardly use that anyway [13:13] why would you want vista? [13:13] putti, can't get java working on it? [13:13] ReL1K, I have no issues [13:13] or its flaky? [13:13] rsk, [chr0n0s],.,.sorry was miles away,. cheers,. i read something online that said "With the hardy beta release this week...." but it had no date stamp,.,. im gonna inquire as to the stableness in +1 [13:14] i have a new hdd i want to install ubuntu on from the live cd. the automatic proces is failing to create the partitions on the drive. is there any terminal commands i can use to force it to partition or clear whast on it presently...(an old xbox hdd) [13:14] Anyone know what to use on windows to get into a sshfs server? [13:14] so far I have not been able to get it to work. But I'm using hardy. I have not investigated much though. There might be a fix [13:14] hi i have a question; i have a dell laptop with a docking station, but don't seem to get both screens working (and the sound neither) [13:14] tekstacy, you mean an ssh server mounted as a fs on windows ? [13:14] tekstacy, last I checked sshfs is not supported under winddows [13:14] rsk: can I install ubuntu in an specific folder? [13:15] Yeah, that's what I mean. [13:15] hi ^^ I've got a thinkpad and would like to know if there's a linux version of ThinkVantage (e.g. for BIOS updates), or what's the alternative? [13:15] I don't want to format hd [13:15] I need a way to do something like encrypted ftp that will work on Win and linux [13:15] X-Java: with wubi i think you can [13:15] wubi? [13:16] jobanjo, what dell do you have? [13:16] tekstacy, do you only need to transfer files? [13:16] again, wubi: the worst idea since greedo shooting first [13:16] Ein36: I already answered. The answer is no. [13:17] You overwrote the master boot record. [13:17] Jupp, yeah. [13:17] latitude D610 [13:17] tekstacy, try scp, it uses ssh [13:18] isn't it possible without wubi? [13:18] jobanjo, ok so you cant get vga from the dock [13:18] Jupp, I built a "home media server". I kicks a**, but my win-tarded friends can't access it. :) [13:18] Thanks, I'll check out scp [13:18] tekstacy, so a samba share [13:18] when i boot docked, it gives a blank screen for a long time, then starts in low graphics mode [13:19] X-Java, 8.04 will officially support wubi, a completely pointless method of installing linux to a hard disk image file contained within your windows drive that virtually guarantees that the end user will never make the switch to linux. (just my thoughts on it) [13:19] Lamego: is it a pain to get 32 bit apps to work? [13:19] tekstacy, *do a samba share [13:19] I have a 2nd hd in my system and i want to have it mounted on startup and be accessible for all users. This is the current line in /etc/fstab: UUID=blabla /media/disk_a ext3 user,exec,auto,rw 0 1. Now the normal user cant mount the volume and also cant write to it. What am i doing wrong? [13:19] and then i can "recognise" my laptop lcd, and switch between both with the Fn-f8 [13:19] will Hardy Heron be released on April 1st, or just any time any april? [13:19] wubi wtf? [13:19] but the other screen gets the same screenres as my laptoplcd [13:19] jobanjo, xorg.conf probably has only one display. You may need to play with it [13:19] Jupp, damn, should have thought of that....... [13:20] ha 1april, great release date :) [13:20] * tekstacy slams more coffee [13:20] jobanjo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103084 [13:20] ReL1K, well, not really, you can use a 32 bits schroot for them, but there aren't much 32 bit apps that you should need [13:20] and how does it virtually garauntee that the end user will never switch? [13:20] ? [13:20] ? [13:21] Jupp, is that relativly safe to set up to access remotely? [13:21] one thing i wouldnt mind though is the ability to install while already booted in windows. not into the windows partition but into it's own [13:21] yowshi: cause it's slower than normal ubuntu afaik, gives of a bad vibe [13:21] so i could kind of install while being online and able to get help [13:21] yowshi, when it's contained entirely within the windows partition, and therefore dependent on windows being there to even exist, what incentive is there for the end user NOT to use windows? [13:21] tekstacy, I would do SAMBA outside of your LAN [13:21] yowshi, try virtualbox then. you can run any OS from within wndows with it [13:21] tekstacy, I *wouldn't do SAMBA outside of your LAN [13:21] Daisuke_Ido: iI have already linux on xbox and I've just tried ubuntu 7.10 desktop CD and it looks great, but I will get a PC at my birthday and then I can install whatever I want on it (and I want a stable linux and Ububtu seems to be stable) [13:21] i dont want virtual box. and i already have ubuntu here being used heh [13:22] no not virtual box a full and actual install [13:22] I have installed Ubuntu on an external disk and configured it to swap to a partition on the internal disk. However, when memory usage goes up, it doesn't seem to do that, but instead freezes up and initiates a flurry of activity on the external disk until I pull the plug. [13:22] yowshi, so what is your issue? [13:22] just i had problems when i was trying to install ubuntu in the first place [13:22] yowshi, thats very common [13:22] so it would have been nice if i could have installed while booted into windows [13:22] So, should I expect Ubuntu to be able to swap to a partition on a different disk? [13:22] that way help would have been easy to access [13:23] Jafet, of course, wherever you set the swap to be [13:23] yowshi, so you mean install to a different partition from within windows? [13:23] yes [13:23] I dont understand what you said rsk :) [13:23] yowshi, you can run the install disk in a virtualizer and grant it access to the partition, no? [13:23] yowshi, you could suggest it to the ubuntu team and it might get implemented. [13:23] i have no idea nor did i back then how to do that [13:23] I have an external usb hd (ext3) and I want it to always mount to the same location (if I let the system pick the name then it will always change depending on how many other hds I have at the time). Is the only way out to edit my fstab and add an entry for that specific UUID? [13:24] um, hello, I am really having trouble with compiz-fusion. I actually installed the latest fglrx drivers and I get all the nice effects I want... until I open firefox [13:24] yowshi, but you need a virtualizer. Qemu might work but I'm not sure. VMWare would definitely work. [13:24] any ideas? [13:24] Daisuke_Ido, well it doesn't seem to be doing that, is it... [13:24] but if you could install while from inside windows to a blank hdd it would help switching over [13:24] yowshi, the problem is, I suspect, that none of the Ubuntu developers want to code for Windows... [13:24] yowshi: you can, it would just suck setting up [13:24] i knowe [13:24] yowshi, get it suggested [13:25] Jafet, if you use the guided or resize method, no, it creates swap on the same partition [13:25] will wubi install Ubuntu from cd or internet? [13:25] ak5 you can but to do it you need to know enough that you wouldnt NEED to have easy access to help [13:25] you'll have to do manual === No_Ta is now known as [agatha] [13:25] yowshi: exactly [13:25] Hello Guys..ive been reading and i realize that Feisty its better for HP laptops/notebooks than Gutsy...right? [13:25] where do i make a suggestion [13:25] Daisuke_Ido, hmm, I'll check /etc/fstab to see if the correct partitions are specified. [13:25] yowshi, I suggested an install to usb stick as an install option [13:25] on what part of the site [13:25] yowshi: but the ubuntu install cd is ridiculously easy these days [13:26] AK5 it aint trust me [13:26] yowshi: what do you mean? [13:26] last year when i installed i couldnt use the default live cd [13:26] i had to install from the secondary [13:26] yowshi: get the alternative text based cd [13:26] yowshi, what kind of box are you putting it on? [13:26] and it isnt as easy [13:26] the text based cd isnt as easy to use [13:26] I have a 2nd hd in my system and i want to have it mounted on startup and be accessible for all users. This is the current line in /etc/fstab: UUID=blabla /media/disk_a ext3 user,exec,auto,rw 0 1. Now the normal user cant mount the volume and also cant write to it. What am i doing wrong? [13:26] yowshi: it isn't as *pretty* [13:26] it aint as easy either i think [13:26] it is still incredibly simple [13:26] yowshi, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [13:27] The alternate cd can be used, using the normal live cd, writing f6 and then only.ubiquity [13:27] yowshi, try there [13:27] the live cd worked but always froze when it started formatting [13:27] the makers of that did an awesome job imo === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [13:27] KenSentMe, is it formatted ext3? [13:27] Daisuke_Ido, hah. /etc/fstab specifies the correct UUID but it's not detected somehow. [13:27] ActionParsnip, i think it is [13:27] yowshi: the normal ubuntu live cd can be used as a alternate cd by writing only.ubiquity on the command live F6 [13:27] so i actually tried 5 times when i first installed [13:27] Jafet, that could be a problem then... [13:28] anyone had trouble with compiz effects and firefox before? [13:28] yeah well with the text based it took me 5 tries to get an install that worked [13:28] KenSentMe, I'd check with sudo fdisk -l [13:28] yowshi: that way wont freeze! [13:28] ActionParsnip, it is [13:28] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, completely useless info if the livecd won't even get that far. [13:28] Daisuke_Ido, swap locations are completely determined at boot time, right? [13:28] Jafet, i don't know [13:28] yowshi: are you very new to linux? [13:28] theres just options and shit in the install that i had never heard of as a first time linux user [13:28] Bleh, I'll just change this and reboot. [13:29] Daisuke_Ido: woot do u mean by wont even get that far? [13:29] * Jafet needs a memory upgrade soon [13:29] i'm still a relative newbie (started with edgy) [13:29] yowshi: sry, didn't occur to me that that is a possiblility :/ [13:29] LOL [13:29] LMAO [13:29] i think thats the problem [13:30] these sorts of issues dont really occur to the dev team either [13:30] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, a lot of people that have problems with the livecd can't get it to go that far (to where they can actually enter boot options) [13:30] Jafet, i just put 4gb in this lappy. :) I reccomend the upgrade [13:30] ActionParsnip, it is ext3 and root can create folders etc [13:30] KenSentMe, i'd google fstab to check you have the right stuff. Can you also give a pastebin of your /etc/fstab [13:30] yowshi: I just helped someone install ubuntu the other day, he said the only thing confusing was the partitioning if you want to keep your windows [13:30] tekstacy, heh, this Vaio supports only 2 and I only have a quarter of that. [13:30] ActionParsnip, i pasted the line in my question already [13:30] * tekstacy cringes [13:31] i was trying to setup a raid setup and stuff and i had never done a raid before or anything otgher then a basic press here to install windows before [13:31] KenSentMe, do the whole thing dude [13:31] so EVERYTHING was like new and i didnt know jack from crap [13:31] tekstacy, but all my apps except Firefox only use 640K of memory! [13:31] yowshi: well, I started linux with gentoo [13:31] yowshi: not pretty either [13:31] i truied gentoo first [13:31] ak5, good for you! [13:31] it couldnt get online [13:32] it took me 6 tries to get a working raided gentoo 64 instakll [13:32] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59919/ [13:32] yowshi: the thing is, as a first time user, I wouldn't recommend going for all the bells and whistles [13:32] hi...did anyone configure Atheros AR5006EG wireless card ? [13:32] yeah well i wanted what i wanted [13:32] which was an optimal setup for the harddrives i had [13:32] Gentoo sounds like religion to me. Suffer very hard to install to obtain dubious benefits later. [13:32] well have [13:32] yowshi: so advanced hardware stuff aside, the ubuntu installer is very nice [13:32] Jafet, honestly, the only time I ever used all four was when I watched a movie while running XP, and Vista AND Plan9 in virtual box and copying files [13:33] KenSentMe, which mount point is the drive using? [13:33] see if i went with the basic i would have 2 unused hard drives right now imnstead of 1 [13:33] and i didnt want to waste 250 gigs [13:33] ActionParsnip, /media/disk_a [13:33] Jafet: it's not really suffering, I find an ubuntu is easily and quickly installed, but will get slower over time, where as gentoo won't [13:33] both have advantages === O`cens0red is now known as cens0red [13:34] yowshi: what raid? [13:34] KenSentMe, there is no instance of "_a" in that pastebin [13:34] i wanted let me think no raid on the boot and raid 1 on the rest [13:35] ActionParsnip, line 13 [13:35] KenSentMe, is it this UUID=47BD-4A90 /media/disk_a_win [13:35] i wound up not using raid in the end :( [13:35] yowshi: ah, well, is the boot a seperate harddive or just a partition? [13:35] ActionParsnip, no, the other one [13:35] KenSentMe, yeah, notepad knows nothig :S [13:35] seperate partition [13:35] yowshi: that makes it difficult XD [13:35] i have boot log usr and home partitions [13:35] KenSentMe, got [13:35] oh and swap [13:36] yowshi: oooohh software raid? [13:36] yeah sk5 [13:36] ak5 [13:36] KenSentMe, why are you using UUIDs? [13:36] yowshi: hehe, I was thinking: is this guy stupid? [13:36] yowshi: yeah, that's hard to setup [13:37] i started with my hardware in a hardware raid [13:37] use /dev/sdb1 or whatever it is. You could use some spacing in there [13:37] which i had asked for when i built this computer [13:37] ActionParsnip, because it's a swappable bay, and i want to use a different mountpoint if there is another disk in the bay. And uuid are ubuntu default [13:37] but that seemed to be interfereing with telling my installs to use a raid [13:37] only i didnt know it [13:37] Daisuke_Ido: well mate..if some1 can just boot the cd and enter by normal boot and get froozed..the only-ubiquity is the best solution cuz everything will be commando line.. dont ya think? [13:37] mhm [13:37] KenSentMe, back it up and give /dev/ a go [13:37] top o' the mornin' [13:38] I keep getting "Bus error" when trying to apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.22-14-server or dpkg-reconfigure. This has happened on two different servers with different hardware... Think the code for dpkg might be broken? [13:39] KenSentMe: What are you trying to do?I've taken a look at your fstab [13:39] ArthurArchnix, mount a 2nd harddrive rw accessible for all users [13:39] http://pastebin.ca/946122 is a paste of what is happening [13:39] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, they can't initialize the framebuffer to even GET to that point, what are you not understanding here? [13:39] will Hardy Heron be released on April 1st, or just any time any april? [13:39] KenSentMe: sdb? [13:40] x3on, don't repeat, and ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:40] x3on, probably towards the end of april, i think i've seen 28th april mentioned [13:40] ArthurArchnix, sdb1 right [13:40] Daisuke_Ido, nobody answered [13:41] KenSentMe: sdb1 is the first partition on device sdb ... is that the only one you're having trouble with? [13:41] Daisuke_Ido:well dude nevermind..ok [13:41] thanks dgjones [13:41] ArthurArchnix, the partition mounts fine and root can create folders etc. Only normal users cant [13:41] hi [13:42] i've mounted my floppy drive [13:42] KenSentMe: Well, that's nothing to do with fstab then [13:42] but how do i make sure the content of /media/floppy0 really gets copied down to the floppy? [13:42] KenSentMe: Here's how I'd layout your fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59922/ [13:43] anyone [13:43] hey i am getting the GRUB error what can i do? [13:43] /join #ubuntu-ops [13:43] ArthurArchnix, thanks, but i need the uuid. sdb is in a swappable bay and i want another mountpoint if another disk is entered [13:43] "the grub error" [13:43] try being more specific? [13:43] anyone [13:43] when booting [13:44] i dont know what it is [13:44] * Daisuke_Ido facepalms [13:44] KenSentMe: Assuming it mounted and ran everything fine, then I'd just chmod the drive. If you decide to use the fstab I provided you may have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the UUID there to /dev/sda4 [13:44] can someone help me with getting rid of this dcopserver errors. i cant run any kde apps. [13:44] there's an error number [13:44] http://pix.test.at/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=39 === blue-frog__ is now known as blue-frog [13:44] error 22 [13:44] http://www.sound-man.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html [13:44] how do i make sure the content of /media/floppy0 really gets copied down to the floppy? it is mounted already [13:44] :) [13:44] hello, anyone ever tried to use the shared internet connection of a (bluetooth access point) smartphone with linux ? i found tons of howtos doing the opposite, but this, none .. [13:44] test me [13:44] ArthurArchnix, i chmodded the folder /media/disk_a to 777, but still no luck in creating folders [13:44] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636593 [13:44] i find mention of "pand" but it was deprecated in ubuntu and i don't know what replaces it now [13:45] man i like idea number 19 [13:45] itsme, looks like the partition it's looking for isn't there. [13:45] KenSentMe: Oh. Ok, finally someone with a legitimate need for UUIDs. Good to know someone out there has benefited from this UUID mess. :) [13:45] ArthurArchnix, hehe [13:45] KenSentMe: Have you created a udev rule to recognize the drive and assign it a fixed mount point? [13:45] how can boot on windows? [13:45] while i fix it [13:45] ArthurArchnix, dont think so [13:46] you can't boot to either windows or linux right now? [13:46] still being afraid of os updates(thx to microsoft) - i am thinking whether i should update from gutsy or hardy alpha6 or 3 days later hardy beta to hardy final - or whether i should wait. need to install ubuntu the next days(best would be today) - but with windows i would definitly wait one month for the final release to perform a full install and NEVER would first install win98 and then use xp update. should i be worried the same way with [13:46] ubuntu? [13:46] that error comes up [13:46] I keep getting "Bus [13:46] KenSentMe: Fstab alone might not get you there. lemme find you a link to a thread I think is relevant to your interests. [13:46] hey guys, (pre warning: im lagging 15-30 secs so may be a while for a reply) can i use gparted to make a 10gig partition say /hardy/ then install hardy on it?

[13:47] Error 22 [13:47] orkun: re worried about stability. check #ubuntu+1 for hardy stuff. [13:47] bod_: You can chroot it or use QEMU (Which you wouldn't need a separate partition for). [13:47] ty [13:47] how do I set a label to a ext3 partition (on an external hd) so that it's automounted to the same location (in /media) all the time? [13:47] im solely worried about stability in 2 months :> not right now :) [13:48] how do i make sure the content of /media/floppy0 really gets copied down to the floppy? it is mounted already [13:48] i've got this line is fstab, /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 [13:48] i can read from floppy [13:48] Bo^Dick: Unmount it, or execute the shell command 'sync'. [13:48] Polarina, could you link me to some relevent information regarding the two plz,.,.;~) [13:48] ArthurArchnix, I found out that if i create folders with root on that partition and chmod those to 777, the user can access those, so i think my problem is solved by that [13:48] Daisuke_Ido do you think it will work if i install ubuntu again? [13:48] itsme, check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [13:49] orkun: probably once the final is released upgrading will work fine. I usually do a clean reinstall, personally, but I do some funny things with my systems. reinstalling is a way to get back to vanilla ubuntu. [13:49] ok [13:49] if that doesn't work, then a reinstall *may* be in order [13:49] bod_: QEMU is an CPU emulator. If your CPU supports virtalization, the emulation would run at almost native speed. [13:49] ok thx [13:49] ty ccharles`, thats what i will probably do [13:50] bjr [13:51] Polarina: that didn't sort it out [13:51] orkun: np :-)., [13:51] Polarina, like vbox ??

[13:52] Polarina, evern with the kqemu module [13:52] What is the best flash program for ubuntu ? [13:52] #ubuntu-fr [13:52] Lamego: The CPU has to support virtualization to take advantage of it.

(i.e., something like alt-sysrq-z). Switching to another [13:54] virtual console (ALT+Fn) and then back again should also help.

[14:19] gligorhoria: ##c o ##cpp [14:19] gligorhoria: ##c++* [14:19] ty [14:19] Yeah. Router. They're not touching your machine unless you're pretending to be an AP. Most router software I've seen isn't sophisticated enough to montior sites and such. But it's possible there's config files that will mail you reports. Then you wouldn't need to log in. [14:19] that's treigh forward :D [14:20] <_Scooter> bazhang: most routers will allow you to enter the mac addresses that you want to allow to connect. some will even forward syslog to another system... makes it easier to monitor with a simple tail -f /var/log/syslog :) [14:20] bazhang: ^^ [14:20] streight* [14:20] aar [14:20] ah thanks ArthurArchnix [14:20] _Scooter: will check it out thanks!

[14:24] lasivian: GUI, easy to use, looks clean. [14:24] <_Scooter> lasivian: check out xchat, it can do everything that mirc can do, if not more [14:24] heartsblood: It will run under Gnome. [14:24] running xchat now [14:24] oh? [14:24] lasivian: I really *really* like irssi (console), but if you need a GUI client X-Chat is quite popular. Also Konversation. [14:24] slightly underwhelmed [14:25] <_Scooter> lasivian: so hook some scripts up to it [14:25] lasivian: Windows replacement... what does that mean? You'll never get Ubuntu to act like Windows. You'll be able to replace much of the functionality, but replace is not the same as replicate. [14:27] ArthurArchnix: : I would like 80-90% similar functionality [14:27] Can anyone help me with my Nautilus issue?

[14:33] <_Scooter> nixnoob: no idea === Jader is now known as fhasdjfhjsdlkhfs === fhasdjfhjsdlkhfs is now known as Jader [14:34] <_Scooter> steel_lady: feh might work === ce_bra36 is now known as oo [14:34] hey ppl. this is prolly not the correct channel to ask, but does freenode.net have any servers that support ssl ? [14:34] nixnoob: this is firefox or youtube videos you have downloaded? miro has that capability [14:34] hi, what application should I use to burn a .img CD image to a CD ? [14:34] fixxlet: #freenode would be the correct channel, and no they dont. [14:34] <_Scooter> fixxlet: try #freenode [14:35] thanks [14:35] ok scooter and bahzang [14:35] thanks sin [14:35] bazhang, i havent downloaded them im viewing them on the web [14:35] <_Scooter> bertvdp: k3b [14:35] bazhang: I didn't want to install 2.5 billion files, so I just tried it with claw4, and it works with zero issues. [14:35] _Scooter, are there also gnome apps ? [14:35] nixnoob: not sure about firefox; but miro does that very well [14:35] _Scooter: any idea? === teabag is now known as rooibos === rooibos is now known as earlgrey [14:36] So, it appears the issue is very Nautilus specific. === earlgrey is now known as teapot [14:36] <_Scooter> !burn | bertvdp [14:36] bertvdp: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [14:36] BinaryFu: how about launching nautilus from the terminal? you may have permission issues--did you run it as root or something like that? === teapot is now known as teabag4 [14:36] <_Scooter> Pilantra: no, i don't know when the error occurs [14:36] _Scooter, it's not an ISO but an IMG [14:36] <_Scooter> bertvdp: same thing [14:37] :( [14:37] _Scooter: so I can rename it to .iso and just burn it ? [14:37] bazhang: I can replicate the error using sudo or normal call of Nautilus in bash. [14:37] <_Scooter> bertvdp: it should understand .img on its own [14:37] _Scooter: worked perfectly [14:37] ty [14:37] <_Scooter> bertvdp: if it doesn't, the program blows [14:37] I just wish I could find an actual error. :) [14:37] <_Scooter> camero1: :) [14:37] Hi everyone. Is there a fix yet for the dark screens associated with Compiz please? [14:38] Pilantra: you need to give quite a bit more info if you really want help; just saying what you have is not enough--you were running windows in a vm? what the situation etc etc [14:38] _Scooter, it doesn't, but it could be a corrupt file [14:38] BinaryFu: and no error messages? [14:38] <_Scooter> bertvdp: can you mount the .img on a loop device? [14:38] teabag4: best to ask in #compiz-fusion [14:39] should I use the same command as for a .iso ? [14:39] thanks bazhang [14:40] guys need assistance bout my router [14:40] <_Scooter> bertvdp: yeah [14:40] bazhang: sorry, well, the vmware-server is run in CentOS and authenticate in pam, so when service restart, the service it's not up. the clients is ubuntu! [14:40] <_Scooter> AudioSenseCD: what router? [14:40] bazhang: No, it hangs when you get to a folder that has files not folders. For example, in my music collection, if I go to ~/toons/a/ it's fine and I can keep clicking on folders with 100% response. If I go into /acdc for example, it will not show the files, but it will show how many are in that folder in the status bar, and it just hangs indefinitely. (I've been patient enough to wait a full minute for it to respond before, with zero r [14:40] Pilantra: sounds like a cent os issue [14:41] _Scooter, I can mount it perfectly [14:41] and it looks alright [14:41] <_Scooter> bertvdp: then it will burn like an .iso will [14:41] _Scooter: edimax 6104k [14:41] AudioSenseCD: please specify; give us all the pertinent info [14:41] when I install the tomcat what port does it run on by default? [14:41] <_Scooter> AudioSenseCD: so what's the problem, exactly? [14:41] hi everyone, i am looking for help. i have recently installed hary heron 64 bit. i am trying to install the graphic card driver for a nvidia geforge 8400gs i also tryed envy... but it doesnt work. [14:41] tomasso: i think 8000 [14:42] BinaryFu: how big is your music collection? [14:42] <_Scooter> tomasso: sudo netstat -nap <-- that should tell you [14:42] bazhang: Also, if you open a folder that has files/folders mixed, it will show the icons for the files usually, but nothing can be clicked on. This is also effecting my desktop apparently, as any icon on the desktop is not able to be clicked. [14:42] !hardy | darksachiel [14:42] darksachiel: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [14:42] _Scooter, sorry but how do I force it to burn it then, the gnome burning progrem isn't in the open with dialoge [14:42] !hardy | darksachiel [14:42] bazhang: when i'm sending a file got error in DCC (unable to connect) [14:42] fixxlet, thank, _Scooter thanx [14:42] does anyone know why flash content is jerky in my browser? [14:42] <_Scooter> bertvdp: just install k3b, it'll run just fine [14:42] salut est ce quil y a des francais j'ai une question [14:42] !fr | mickey [14:42] mickey: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. === AutoMatriX_ is now known as AutoMatriX [14:43] bazhang: i dont't like centos, but my boss like it =[ [14:43] _Scooter: okey, thanks for your help man [14:43] <_Scooter> bertvdp: good luck [14:43] _Scooter: when i'm sending a file got error in DCC (unable to connect) [14:43] jordan you need to give alot more info thanks [14:44] bazhang: I don't think the size of a collection is causing an issue on the desktop where there's 2 files and 1 folder...this isn't a restricted issue. This is anywhere I browse in the system. [14:44] <_Scooter> AudioSenseCD: does the file send just fine when you hook your computer up directly, bypassing the router? [14:44] BinaryFu: that is odd; could it be a ram issue or perhaps a corrupt directory [14:44] bazhang, I'm using the latest version of flash and it happens in FF and Epiphany. The strange thing is, it doesn't happen in Xubuntu [14:44] mmmm, i see you can also hot hide your hostname on this network [14:44] bazhang: Every single directory? [14:45] bazhang: And I can access every single one of them via bash without an issue, and interact with all files that way, as well as doing so using claw4, which I just tested. [14:45] BinaryFu: well I cant see your computer and what you have there or what you have done, what do you think the issue is? [14:45] how do i use openbox just installed it but the instructions from the site are quite vague and i have no clue how to use it, can someone explain it to me? [14:46] Pirate_Hunter: [14:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75471 [14:46] _Scooter: how, whem i'm not using my router it sends but when i connect it fails recieving a file thus work but sending errr [14:47] BinaryFu: what about uninstalling and reinstalling nautilus [14:47] bazhang: That's where my frustration is - I don't know. It's fairly obvious it's linked to Nautilus, yet killing my ~/.nautilus directory has not helped at all, I even attempted removing ~/.gnome2 in hopes that might resolve the problem, and still no fix. [14:47] bazhang: That is about the only other thing I *can* do, and it's a bit daunting considering it will probably want to uninstall EVERYTHING in gnome since it's a linked program in Ubuntu's core. [14:48] ArthurArchnix: i found that link myself but the option obconf i cant seem to find it in menu or even when i choose to start session with gnome [14:48] Pirate_Hunter: and this one too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [14:48] <_Scooter> AudioSenseCD: you need to setup port forwarding for the DCC ports - http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Edimax/BR-6104K/default.htm [14:48] hi . can some one help me setup grub so i can bot my win hdd from grub boot [14:49] Hmmm....it's only trying to kill two things (one of them the ubuntu-desktop >_<) I think I'll give it a shot and see if it becomes hopelessly borked or not. [14:49] BBIAB [14:49] Pirate_Hunter: Is obconf installed? sudo aptitude show obconf [14:49] BinaryFu: that first one is a metapackage [14:49] hols [14:50] ArthurArchnix: well it shows if i start openbox on its own but not when running with gnome like im doing now [14:50] _Scooter: thx i have to try it but neways thx a lot [14:50] jordan: when you are in xubuntu what browser do you use? [14:51] ArthurArchnix: it states that it is not installed yet if i run it on its own i cna see obconf but it doesnt do anything what do you suggest [14:52] nexius: you are dual booting? which was installed first xp or ubuntu? you need to add xp to your grub menu is that it? [14:52] hey all [14:53] ArthurArchnix: you still here? [14:53] how's everybody doin? [14:53] all 8 million of you? lol [14:53] bazhang : Yeah . i installed xp first [14:54] BluesDrive: wanna flood your connection? :) [14:54] I think I just did [14:54] lol [14:54] I needed a break from trying to install ubuntu [14:54] so I thought I'd pop in here [14:54] how are you all doCONNECTION RESET BY PEER [14:54] I may have just walked into a enter/exit hell though... [14:54] Pirate_Hunter: If sudo aptitude show obconf | grep State returns not installed, I'd do sudo aptitude install obconf [14:54] scratch that [14:54] ola [14:54] I DID!
