[00:01] jtravnick, yes I beleive so [00:01] oh great i bite at cli [00:01] jtravnick, you are better off compiling from the source then converting from a rpm to a deb [00:01] Hi, My freind is looking for a good (& simple) program that will Convert mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .ogm, .mp4, .vob . . . . . etc. to .avi . Any suggestions? [00:02] I can't change my wallpaper in gnome. I suspect a bug, but does gnome log this sort of thing? Where do I look to find out why I can't change my wallpaper? [00:02] sap, go in the forum and do a search for convertit , www.ubuntuforums.org [00:02] My solution is just to use the terminal [00:02] Pelo, have no idea how to do that plus the program didnt have a source [00:02] Smegzor, what happens exactly, descrive your steps and when it goes wrong [00:02] Pelo, is convertit a program? [00:03] sap, yes [00:03] Pelo, k [00:03] system/appearance click on a pic in the wallpaper tab, watch nothing change [00:03] double click, click furiously, still nothing :( [00:03] sap, do a search in the forum there is a full how-to to install it , it's not in the repos === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:04] Smegzor, ok , can you add a new pic ? [00:04] I'm about to try it in kde to see if kde can do it [00:04] 1 sec [00:04] ? [00:04] Pelo, but its good eh? i was thinkin of recommending him vlc player but not sure of its capabilities? [00:04] Smegzor, you can do it in gnome , usualy, your situation is unuual [00:04] yes I can add pics [00:04] I just installed openoffice 2.4 from their site, I'm running a64, my question is why is openoffice not listed under synaptic, and if its not there how do I uninstall them if I ever want to go back to the supported openoffice version? [00:04] sap, vlc will play all those file types, but you asked about converting [00:04] still can't change the wallpaper :( [00:05] Has anyone had any degree of success with gnump3d and LIVE audio feeds? I have done a few searches via google and the general suggestion seems to be no... [00:05] brb trying stuff [00:05] Smegzor, and can that pic be selected as a wall paper ? [00:05] Smegzor have you updated lately? [00:05] holy crap [00:05] Pelo, I thought we could convert also via vlc [00:05] jc: Did you intall a .deb? [00:05] sap, I don'T know about that, I don'T think so I beleive vlc is just a player, [00:05] Odd-rationale, yes I installed a .deb [00:06] patryk996, let me assure you crap is rarely holy, it is very much of this earth [00:06] Pelo, k will look into it. thx [00:06] jc: Open synaptic and in the bottom left go to status. Then go to local/oboslete and see if it is there [00:06] yep updated. but I wanted to know if there was anything general I could look for. Its possible that something in hardy is broken just for me. Its working for others in ubuntu+1 [00:06] bascule, can we help you ? [00:06] Pelo: holy epiphany ... ? [00:06] heh [00:06] Smegzor, if you are using hardy go and ask about yoru problem in #ubuntu+1 [00:07] I did :P [00:07] andash: I did apt-get update and then it installed without a security warning. [00:07] Pelo: I am here participating, I have no real issue [00:07] now I'm looking for gnome specific things [00:07] Hey, just installed Ubuntu on a presario, for some reason Booting up takes for ever. It should take me straight to Gnome on boot-up, however, if i do CTRL+ALT+F1, it'll take me there in no time. [00:07] What exactly would be required to return to a windows default installed operationg system from ubuntu [00:07] Odd-rationale, nope only an entry for the debian-menus [00:07] Smegzor, try this, open a pic using the default viewer there is an option in tools or in windows , in one of the menus anyway that lets you use the pick as wallpaper, see if that works [00:08] k [00:08] Smegzor, the logs are in /var/log , you can check the out , the current ones don'T have anything appended to the names , start with system or sys I cna'T remember the exact name [00:08] !imap [00:08] IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [00:08] jc: debian-menus? is that a package you installed manually? [00:08] that adds it to the list of pics in system/appearance but fails to put it on the desktop === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ [00:09] the desktop wallpaper only changes when i boot up [00:09] Gnutella is the same network as OpenWire uses? [00:09] thanks. thats what I needed to know [00:09] Smegzor, how about when you restart X ? [00:09] wich command should I use to put a file on-line throught shell (ftp protocol) [00:09] Have any of you ever used dvd::rip? [00:09] Odd-rationlae, sorry yes its one of several deb packages that you install when you install openoffice from their binaries [00:09] i'm still a bit new. how do I do that in console? [00:09] * Pelo is so bored , he's actualy intalling games [00:10] what is the difference between compiz and gnome? [00:10] How can I hide some mounted volumes from my desktop, but not all? I saw "gconf-editor" then apps -> nautilus -> desktop, then deselect volumes, but I want some drives showing up, just not my network ones, any ideas? [00:10] Smegzor, ctrl alt backspace [00:10] ah of course! brb [00:10] How do I make sure Ubuntu is using the latest nVidia drivers (proprietary)? [00:10] bobbob1016, volumes mounted to /media show on the desktop, those moutned in /mnt don'T [00:10] What exactly would be required to return to a windows default installed operationg system from ubuntu [00:11] Pelo, Oh, ok. Thanks. [00:11] Odd-rational, the other odd thing is that all the packages are listed if if use dpkg -l to list them [00:11] hello [00:11] wich command should I use to put a file on-line throught shell (ftp protocol) [00:11] Guest716, check the windows website do a search , they have a page to tell you how to do that [00:11] I can't install kdelive, when I try ubuntu freeze [00:11] hello gnumd_eeepc_8G [00:11] ty pelo [00:11] restarting x did change the wallpaper. well its now the default brown [00:12] anyone use seahorse (GPG) ?

I can have any wallpaper, so long as I restart x :/ [00:13] jc: how did you install the deb? [00:13] time to check logs [00:14] Smegzor, still a bug , check in launchpad to see if it is listed [00:14] I want to get hardy's human gtk theme for my gutsy. how do I do it? :) (i dont want to switch to hardy yet) [00:14] !dpkg [00:14] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [00:14] ok [00:14] My ubuntu laptop has a REALLLY slow boot-up. After the grub screen it turns black and it will take 10 minutes to boot if I leave it, however if I press CTRL+ALT+F1, it'll resume booting and boot up smoothly. ANy way to rctify this? [00:14] jc: btw might help you autocomplete my nick. e.g. odd [00:14] heh launchpad is down for maintenance [00:15] Odd-rationale, went to the folder with all the debs and did sudo dpkg --force-architectrue *.deb [00:15] does anyone use GNUPG (GPG) encryption? Was going to try to use seahorse but having some issues [00:16] Odd-rationale: Cool thanks for the I was wondering about that [00:16] jc: well I really don't know. sorry. stick around though, if dpkg lists it, the there should be a way... [00:16] gnumd_eeepc_8G, you might have better luck looking for a gnupg channel , or for their website if they have one, try google [00:16] ok thank you pelo [00:17] Odd-rationale: Thanks I'll keep poking around [00:17] ho [00:17] ho [00:17] ho [00:17] icesword: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:17] 3 very short quick lines, that is why icesword [00:17] heheh [00:17] none [00:18] i see [00:18] icesword: you should know better, then. [00:18] !offtopic [00:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:18] offtopic is silent [00:19] sixpence [00:19] i am sorry,:(, [00:19] :( [00:20] has anyone upgraded to Hardy yet? [00:20] and how stable is it [00:20] jaffarkelshac; all kinds of people have in #ubuntu+1 [00:21] I am running hardy, and 100% of everything is working perfectly for me now, on a Lenovo T60 [00:21] Serway: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.

[00:25] I get an error saying desktop effects could not be enabled when I try to enable desktop effects [00:25] how do i find out the drivers installed for my devices [00:25] lsmod [00:25] cool [00:26] tyranis: you probably have ati or nvidia? It needs the binary drivers if so [00:26] bascule: I am using the opensource ati driver [00:27] that is why then, I am pretty sure you need the ATI ones [00:28] Hey, I am having slow boot times, it should boot straight to X11, but after the grub screen it hangs for 5 minutes. However, if I press CTRL+ALT+F1 during the waiting time, booting up continues as it should. Any ideas? [00:29] sixpence: Are you using DHCP? [00:29] Any idea what to do to enable visual effects? Getting "The composite extension is not available" and no dice, using proprietary ati drivers [00:29] Flannel: Well, it's for a wifi card, yes. I changed time timeout to 5 seconds instead, no difference in boot-up time. [00:29] sixpence: I'd suggest installing bootchart, and then taking a look at whats using all that time [00:30] Flannel: Sounds good. [00:30] does anyone know what emerald is, is it a part of compiz? [00:30] emerald does/did the window decorations, it is something that was folded together in compiz-fusion [00:31] ok thanks bascule [00:31] Flannel: What's the command for bootchart? === NigelS_ is now known as NigelS [00:31] ubuntu pwns [00:31] !javascript [00:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about javascript - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:31] fux0rz: you are preaching to the converted ... [00:31] does anyone have problem where their lcd brightness cant be lowered [00:32] sixpence: Once you install it, it does it's thing automagically, I believe. [00:32] hehe [00:32] is there a group thing on apt-get just as fedora has ? [00:32] xjkx: group? [00:32] Flannel: Cool. [00:32] i cant find any nice themes for compiz [00:32] what is beryl and how do I switch to it [00:33] MagoonD; compiz is beryl [00:33] lol really [00:33] MagoonD; have you tried any emerald themes? [00:33] MagoonD: beryl was a fork of compiz but now they form only one project: compix-fusion [00:33] no i havent where can i get emerald themes [00:33] I can't get my laptop speakers to turn off when using my headphones [00:34] there is no seperate volume control in the volume control [00:34] kisori: in the sound mixer look if there is a switch for that [00:34] MagoonD; install emerald and go from there [00:34] anyone know specifically what package to install to enable javascript in firefox on gutsy? [00:34] frank23, the problem is there is no switch [00:34] bastid_raZor, i already installed emerald but how do I run/open it up? [00:34] java? [00:35] only PCM & master [00:35] my wireless is broken [00:35] kisori: I don't know then... ;- [00:35] and it WAS working in an older ubuntu [00:35] ok [00:35] i think i installed icedtea to get java working [00:35] hey, random question, but does anybody know of anyone who's ever ported IcedTea to SPARC? [00:35] !themes [00:35] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [00:35] where are the ubuntu kernels [00:35] and headers [00:36] I want to try a newer kernel [00:36] MagoonD; in system>preferences do you have emerald theme manager? [00:36] yes [00:36] thanks you bastid_raZor === jpw27 is now known as jpw27_ [00:37] Flannel: So i'm taking a look at my chart how do I break this down? [00:38] MagoonD; once you figure out which theme you want to use .. alt + f2 and type emerald --replace .. that will tell compiz to use the emerald theme [00:38] sixpence: Uh, its a timeline at the bottom of what process is doing what (and at what time) with disk/CPU stuff at the top (usage percentages) [00:38] ok thanks bastid_raZor [00:38] DMJC: why? compiling a new kernel is more trouble than it's worth unless you absolutely need a specific feature [00:38] sixpence: Assuming it takes a long time at some point, it should be somewhat obvious as to what the holdup is [00:39] Flannel: Oh yes. The thing that takes like 85% of the time is something called s01readahead and beneath it is readahead-list [00:39] i had 2 instance of ubuntu installed and i deleted the other partition but there are 2 swap partitions left now, how do i know which one i am using so i can delete the used one [00:39] sixpence: the s01 are just link warts for the init stuff. readahead is the thing. No idea what that does. [00:39] i dont understand the different themes on gnome-look, which is right for me? [00:39] Flannel: And then there are all these k-applications at the bottom. Like kthreadd and khelper and knodmrgd [00:40] MagoonD; and #compiz-fusion has more experienced people with compiz to help. [00:40] ok thanks [00:40] plz help... i lost the nvidia settings editing cthe Xconf...after i replaced it..but still it's in low graphic mode...i cant come back...first time ti detected automatically at installation..how to fix? [00:40] hi everyone!!!!! [00:40] anyone know why when i write a document in OpenOffice with “these speechmarks” in it, and export to PDF, they aren't displayed in the PDF? [00:41] morning [00:41] im havin truble with azureus. it crashes on start up givin me errors [00:41] my laptop brightness is stuck any assistance? [00:42] i have log file if anyone needs it to help me out [00:42] i am using gutsy amd64bit i think that may be the prob;lem [00:42] sixpence: the K things are also just warts. So that'd be threadd and helper and nodmrgd, etc. [00:42] sun java is pissin me off [00:42] im running an ubuntu iso with virtualbox on windows.. when i select boot from disk it just hangs for a while.. is this not gonna work should I just install it? [00:42] Flannel, yea, they group packages, l dont remember a group now, but its like a list of packages inside a name, you do yum install groupX and it installs all the group has [00:42] How do I zip up a folder? [00:42] ripper666; ktorrent or deluge or transmission (in my opinion) are far better than azureus [00:43] Flannel, nothing like that on ubuntu right ? [00:43] xjkx: metapackages? yes, we have many of them. [00:43] xjkx: Thats handled by metapackages in apt- and yeah, we have them. [00:43] * Geowany is away: cagar > banho > comer === Geowany is now known as Geowany[away] [00:43] #debian [00:43] hows that [00:43] !away > Geowany[away] [00:43] bastid_raZor: ripper666: agreed [00:43] bastid_raZor: is ktorrent in resportories [00:43] asm-: sounds like a vbox or windows question [00:43] apt-get what to see the groups ? [00:43] anyone know how to import stuff from outlook express 5? [00:43] what type of themes can i install from gnome look? [00:44] devo__: zip -r folder.zip folder [00:44] ripper666; yes it is a KDE app but that doesn't bother me.. yes ktorrent is the package name [00:44] bazhang: i selected 'boot from disk' in the Ubuntu menu after VB ran the iso. [00:44] bastid_raZor: will it work with gnome [00:45] ripper666: there is an option in ktorrent to defeat ISP throttling that worked for me [00:45] ripper666; yes, i am using it now [00:45] anyone have an idea about how to set up a remote usb dac on my stereo with ubuntu?? [00:45] asm-: still sounds like a vbox issue; why not try the livecd and see how that fares--burn the iso to cd and then check it out [00:45] Pici, Flannel i am not familiarized with this term, but can i list some names, and use them to install lots of software that is inside that "name", like a group ? How ? [00:45] kool [00:45] ripper666: protocol encryption [00:45] xjkx: metapackages are just regular packages. What are you looking for exactly? And, is there a reason you're not using Synaptic to search/browse? [00:45] xjkx: For example, the ubuntu-desktop metapackage depends on all the components of an Ubuntu Desktop and pulls those packages in via dependenceis. [00:47] hey every one [00:47] I'm getting fed up with being told off for using Ubuntu - each time I start the computer, this loud blaring sound chopped into about three segments issues from the speakers, ignoring the volume control and waking the house up. [00:47] Flannel, i am a fedora user, seeing whats there on ubuntu and whats not, because i am maybe going for ubuntu. Pici yea, but ubuntu-desktop (and the others -desktop) is the only example, if not, they are very few anyway, am i right ? [00:47] what would be the best dhcp to install for a cluster computer with diskless clients to it has to support pxe? [00:48] xjkx: There aren't that many, but there are a few. education-astronomy for example pulls in all astronomy related applications [00:48] xjkx: no, theres actually a whole bunch. But, I'd still use synaptic (System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager) to browse instead of CLI stuff, especially if you're just looking for *whatever* [00:48] thanks guys [00:50] The other thing I'm not keen on is having to enter all my details all over again, each time I use Ubuntu, from having to tell it to set the mouse left-handed each time, then set up the wireless all over again each time, and so on [00:50] anyone have a usb soundcard??? [00:52] Isn't there any way I can get Ubuntu to at least remember some of the repetitive things I keep having to type each time? [00:53] Rods_Tiger: of course Ubuntu allows for these things; what cant you figure out? [00:53] hy all [00:54] Rods_Tiger: Are you running off the LiveCD? or have you done an install? [00:54] I can't figure out why it forgets that I'm left handed, forgets all the details of the wireless setup, etc [00:54] yes, it's the Live CD [00:54] the install won't work [00:54] Rods_Tiger: you need to install; the live cd is just that; when you reboot all the previous session info is lost [00:54] both of my /-s superblock have died (jfs), but I can mount it, how can I repair it? [00:55] well the install won't work - I've spent about two days trying, and it doesn't. It gives me the option of totally wiping the hard drive and using it all, or nothing. There's no option to share or split the disk space [00:56] Rods_Tiger: what version of Ubuntu is this? you better get a more recent version that can do all those things [00:56] so I can't keep the 'session info' somewhere? [00:57] this is 7.10 - which version do I need? [00:57] Recently to my Main Menu>Applications>Other the following three items were added [00:57] How I install Windows media player in UBUNTU? [00:57] "Input Actions", Keyboard and keyboard layout, how can i fully remove these [00:57] 7.10 allows to dual boot in the installer Rods_Tiger; you need to look a bit more carefully [00:58] I've spent two whole days wasted on this - I think I know how carefully I've looked thank you [00:58] Johnes: why would you want to do that? [00:58] there simply is no option to dual boot [00:58] To listen a soccer match! =D [00:58] it lets me use the whole disk drive, and that's it [00:58] Rods_Tiger: well you are stating something I know not to be the case; I have set up dozens of dual boots with that very same disk [00:58] I am from Brazil [00:58] I used to be able to use backspace in GNOME terminal (with screen)> I'm using x terminal emulator now and I cannot use backspace. How do I enable it? Thanks. [00:59] well that's ridiculous - I know what I can see - there's no option [00:59] Recently to my Main Menu> Applications> Other 3 item "Input Options" "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Layout" I would like to know how I can fully remove these. By that I mean find the source and delete it not just hide it from the menu cause i know how to do that [00:59] I'll start up the install yet again and prove it [01:00] woah [01:00] rods_tiger: I seem to remember the option your looking for is called something like "manual" [01:00] Stepa1; right click applications and edit menus.. you'll be able to uncheck them and they will not show up anymore === stevendemorez_ is now known as stevendemorez [01:00] I just logged into fluxbox and it was mixed with gnome O.o [01:00] Rods_Tiger: What system is currently on your computer? How much free disk space do you have? [01:00] Rods_Tiger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall it's right there! [01:01] I'm not sure how much disk space there is but there was over 70% free space on a 40GB drive [01:01] now that is different [01:01] bastid_raZor: but as I said, i would like to remove them from my computer. I dont want those items filling up extra space. i want to remove from computer, not just menu [01:01] can someone help me out wiht my install? (7.10 is not detecting my hd) [01:01] if anyone can troubleshoot my wifi issues please help; I have the proper madwifi drivers and patches for my hardware, I can connect to my network, yet am unable to connect to the internet, my dns name is correct and matches with the other four computers on the network and they all connect to the web without a hitch, also connecting to a public wifi hotspot I still get no access to the web [01:02] Stepa1; i'm unsure if that is a good idea.. you'll have to get other advice.

[01:02] Can I use partitions having FAT32 and NTFS file systems for read and write purpose in Ubuntu? [01:02] bastid_raZor: okay, but would you happen to know the directory of the menu items, i forgot it [01:02] yes, that page departs from reality - there's no 'resize' button or option at all [01:02] bmharsha: yes, but not for the install itself. [01:03] the first option is 'Guided - use entire disk' [01:03] then === helder is now known as foojunkie [01:04] then if you click on the next one down, 'guided use largest continuous free space' it chucks you back at 'guided use whole disk' again [01:04] using ndiswrapper to install a radeon driver (c2_43154.inf). console keeps telling me that it is an invalid driver once complete - also it is not seeing the .sys and .xml files it needs. am i pointing it at the right file to start with?

[01:06] No [01:06] goob: ndiswrapper only works with network drivers [01:06] goob: there's fglrx (proprietory ATI driver) - the very latest version (8.3) actually is quite good. then there's also open-source radeon (proabbly what you're using by default) [01:06] to be honest, I'd be fine running off the Live CD if it could save the settings somewhere - isn't this possible? [01:06] !ati | goob [01:06] goob: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:06] nothing shows up in restricted drivers manager for graphics === booh_ is now known as Boohbah [01:06] Rods_Tiger: Try defragmenting the hd. [01:06] goob: exactly what card is it? [01:07] radeon 7500 fire gl mobility [01:07] I've defragmented over and over and over - about a day and most of the night [01:07] Rods_Tiger: run it off a usb key or defrag the disk in ##windows [01:07] i can't get accelerated graphics at the moment but i have seen it done on this same system [01:07] goobL odd, something that old should be handled by restricted manager :/ In any case, the binary ATI/AMD driver should work for you [01:07] okay guys [01:07] you can run it off a USB key? I've got one of those - a 64MB one, but it has some space on it [01:07] thinkpad T30 [01:08] Rods_Tiger: not that tiny of a usb key [01:08] how big are the settings then? [01:08] so i should find info on that at the ubuntu birary driver howto page? [01:08] Rods_Tiger, at least a 1 GB USB dive [01:08] So Im using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbons and when I leave on my computer long enough it seems to always have the connection fail at some point or another, its like it suddenly tries to reconnect but it cant so it says it detects no networks, any ideas? [01:09] 1GB just to tell it to remember I'm left handed and what my wireless setting are each time? [01:09] hi, I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive [01:09] Can anyone help me remove files from my menu that were still left behind (after a wine uninstall of programs). The link i provided (last post) says what you should do, but i dont understand, can anyone lead me through it. http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=4224969#post4224969 [01:09] www.pendrivelinux.com Rods_Tiger take a read [01:09] when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full [01:09] Flyerfye: it may be the hibernate or suspend which disconnects wireless, but doesnt resolve the sddress correctly [01:09] when there is like 250 gigs left [01:10] surely it must be possible to save that information across usages? [01:10] Rods_tiger: The 1 GB will holsd the entire system plus space for files and settings [01:10] Stepa1 just right click your menu and choose edit, then untick what you want to hide [01:10] but the entire system is already on a CD [01:10] Svenstaro: The files were left behind after an uninstall, i do not want to hide them, i want to remove them [01:10] 1GB usb keys are about $5 dollars now? [01:11] but the screensaver doesnt come on r anything, the wireless network just cuts out [01:11] Rods_Tiger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [01:11] I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive, when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full and there is plenty of space left on it [01:11] Stepa1, well then right click them in the menu and choose remove :) [01:11] Svenstaro: right, but will that make sure that all the files are removed from the system? [01:12] hello my naughty monkeys [01:12] Stepa1, nope it wont, uninstall something and completely remove everything it installed, type "sudo ap-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME" [01:12] Flyerfye: it may also be your router or modem [01:12] flannel - yes, that looks useful - thanks [01:12] Stepa1, tho you can be sure that the menu entry is the only thing left [01:12] ok next queston - is there a generic driver for a second monitor? [01:12] well its happened from 3 different locations: friends house, school and another school [01:13] and home as well [01:13] screens and graphics asks me to specify driver location [01:13] Svenstaro: unfortunatly i think these came from uninstalling programs with Wine and thats how they got left behind [01:13] I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive, when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full when there is plenty of space left on it [01:13] hanns-g HW191-D 1440x900 lcd [01:13] barslow: do you have write permission for the folder? [01:14] yes [01:14] Stepa1, ah, now youre talking :) Yes uninstalling wine programs can be a hassle. You should dive into your ~/.wine/drive_c and physicially remove the files, sadly [01:14] soldats: well its happened from 3 different locations: friends house, school and another school and even at home [01:14] Stepa1: the command should be:sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME [01:14] dose any one know a TFTP server that understands the TSIZE option [01:15] stepa1: The programs you name are, I think, KDE preference things. They appeared on my computer as well, and yes I think it was something to do with Wine. But I don't think you can remove the program itself (all three entries run kcmshell with a different option, check them out) if you use any kde stuff [01:15] frank23: i cant figure out whats wrong with it [01:15] barslow: I don't know... [01:16] gtg bye [01:16] Hmm, I have an issue. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. When I try to boot from the DVD drive (F12 -> Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive), it gives some error. I have the DVD in the DVD drive, not the CD drive. [01:16] Splatter20: im not really sure if i use KDE stuff (not really sure that it means) the only thing i do recall is when i use Kooka it says KDE Scanning [01:16] what's the command to pick alternatives? [01:16] In the BIOS Setup, it finds the DVD drive just fine. Why is the onboard or usb cd drive option not picking up my DVD drive? [01:16] Flyerfye: strange, im sure its set to dhcp, i wonder if its resolving correctly [01:16] is there a package to record all network traffic and display bandwidth usage?? [01:17] AlexHoover: how about setting it in the bios or using the cd drive [01:17] mouseboyx, iptraf [01:17] thanks Svenstaro !! [01:17] banshee won't recognize my ipod anymore. it used to, but now for no apparent reason, it just stopped [01:18] anyone here know alot about evolution? [01:19] what should i do to install a .deb package or do i have the wrong one? [01:19] stepa1: Just searched, the program is in the package "kdelibs". I really doubt that you could remove that without breaking something, but if you want to try it in Synaptic, and then look at the list of other packages it will have to remove. Be cautious, I wouldn't worry myself, just remove the menu entrys (Preferences->Main Menu). There is a bug about a similar problem here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/14 [01:19] TaRDy: what package [01:19] TaRDy: doubleclick ?

I tried that but I cant find any shares on network from windows machine [01:42] Can anyone help with this problem i've been having.

[01:57] Chris|: yes, you would need an account for any user. [01:57] Chris|; man adduser will help you out quiet a bit [01:57] wimpies: You make my head hurt...the security implications of that are pretty icky, don't you think? [01:58] mad_max02: can you ping from windows? what ports are open? do you have a firewall? [01:58] ah ok [01:58] depends on how much you trust your friend :) [01:58] i trust him a bit [01:58] mad_max02, i always just manually install the samba package. its HIGHLY likely it needs to be installed. i NEVER use that gui-user-method.

[02:17] nickrud: is there a way to reinstall grub in the x32 environment? [02:17] nerdygirl_ellie and don't use a common /boot partition, since the kernel names are the same for 32bit and 64bit [02:17] nickrud: if /home isn't mounted at boot? my /home isn't on a seperate partition though? [02:17] tyler_d: do you mean preferences cause i dont see those in the admin [02:18] nerdygirl_ellie you already have the 32bit installed? Then once you've installed 64bit, boot into 32bit and run sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/ [02:18] Stepa1:system-administration-hardware drivers [02:18] next question..

[02:18] Ralph are you trying to be kicked out? [02:19] tyler_d: no, 700 [02:19] hey, if I have a .tar.gz file and it has a folder that says "GAME" and a file that says BLAH.sh how do I install it? [02:19] is there an irc channel for linuxwireless.org ? [02:19] nerdygirl_ellie: ty [02:19] ralph, what do you want to do with those kernels? do you want to remove it from boot menu? [02:19] nordland-iv: first check and see if it is in the repositories. Then, failing that, expand it with file-roller and double-click the .sh file. [02:20] nordland-iv: is it second life?

[02:40] some just lurk [02:41] so , no more ideas? i have ndiswrapper, i have wpasupplicant, i have the essid and key in, the right driver shows in lshw -C network,,, what am i missing? [02:41] * nickrud returns to reading his book (aka lurking) [02:41] Thanks for your help I am going to reboot now [02:41] vlambert: good luck [02:41] maxwell888: there are a couple of tickets open like that in launchpad. I think the solution is to do something like coredevice something in the x11.conf. search launchpad. === atoponce is now known as encryptz [02:41] how do I tell xchat not to be a prat and overlap my timestamp with the user names? [02:42] thanks nerdygirl [02:42] Bsims, drag the gray line to the right [02:42] maxwell888: anytime. [02:42] maxwell888, try sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse [02:42] maxwell888: a solution as of now as im currently feeling like crap and cant think youcan save all progress and only restart X vis ctrl+alt+bckspc [02:42] I know then if a longer name shows up it covers it [02:42] so drag it more [02:42] :) [02:42] is #debian gone? [02:42] no [02:42] oh good [02:42] bookmark: highly unlikely [02:43] maxwell888: well whoops go woth Jack_Sparrow 's answer as its what i was tinking but couldnt remember [02:43] Bsims, try #xchat [02:43] bookmark: umm well their official irc channel is not on freenode [02:43] k [02:43] where it is? [02:43] u sure about that/ [02:43] I am trying there too but well this has more folks in it [02:43] bookmark: #debian has over 700 people at it [02:43] yikes [02:43] bookmark: "/join #debian".. no quotes, there's plenty of people there [02:43] ill bbl [02:43] bookmark: yeah, but i bet about 20 of them are actually there [02:43] IndyGunFreak: yeah think they have the two channels linked though really [02:44] kitche: hmm, could be i gues [02:44] Bsims: can you be more clear as the problem [02:44] so , no more ideas? i have ndiswrapper, i have wpasupplicant, i have the essid and key in, the right driver shows in lshw -C network,,, what am i missing? [02:44] soldats, longer names over lap my time stamp in xchat, it looks nasty [02:45] I can manually resize it but I shouldn't have to [02:45] i dont have any keybinding tabs in compiz ? why??? [02:45] SeaPhor: take a step back, start from the beginning. [02:45] SeaPhor: sudo iwlist scan [02:45] josh_, they are on a different page.. I had the same issue [02:45] SeaPhor: can it see any wireless networks? [02:45] I have an on-going problem, and so far no one has been able to help me, I'm having to live at my INLAW's home and they have wireless, I have a rtl8185 PCI wireless card, and a linksys wusb54gsc, cannot get either to work, the home net is using wpa2 psk, tkip... please help [02:46] what do you mean "different page" [02:46] i have 2 network icons in toolbar, one is my wired, which runs all over the house-but works fine, and the othe rhas a warning symbol in it, and a signal-strength bar next to it half full, the rtl8185 shows in lshw -C network [02:46] SeaPhor: has your wireless ever worked, anywhere, in linux? [02:46] josh_, general options.. actions..commands [02:46] SeaPhor: whats the chipset on the rtl?.. open a temrinal and type "lspci" [02:46] rtl8185 [02:46] Bsims: i believe you can state how long a nick can be in some confis for xchat, firstly id suggest looking at the xchat hopepage and look for documentation. see if you can find nick-max-length or something like that, i havent used it in a long while but i know it can be done. maybe set it for 8 or 9 characters [02:46] VLC refuses to play DVDs, i just click play then choose disk. it worked on my old machine, but now it won't? im going to be gone for a while, but any help would be greatly appreciated. [02:47] nerdygirl_ellie: well, that didn't help. crappers. [02:47] IndyGunFreak: he has it enabled with the ndiswrapper driver, and it looks like it can see wireless networks, but not connect wpa. [02:47] Hrm Ok soldats I generaly prefer irssi though [02:47] nerdygirl_ellie: oh ok.. [02:47] nerdygirl, no wireless has not [02:47] well he needs to read up on wpa_supplicant [02:47] mrpoundsign: I didn't think it would, you have to fix the busted tables. === icesword is now known as erftg111 [02:47] mrpoundsign: mysql.org has some good resources.... Sorry I can't help more. [02:48] SeaPhor: [02:48] Bsims: well ok irssi is a llot easier both homepages have description on how to configure it. irssi is fairly easy but just check there and come back if you cant find it [02:48] SeaPhor: That's okay. if you run sudo iwlist scan, does it show any wireless networks? [02:48] iwlist scan =no scan results [02:48] nerdygirl_ellie: indeed. But everything I have found had to do with setting changes to my.cnf that I never did... and the my.cnf in the mysql-common 5.0.38 is exactly the same. repair table throws up the same error. [02:48] not there i have general option then commands but that's something different [02:48] * Bsims grins not that big of a deal, but was annoying [02:48] josh_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61306/ === jjm is now known as joeythesaint [02:48] * Bsims cackles you want confusing try mirc [02:49] runs just fine in wine BTW [02:49] lol Bsims [02:49] * thiemster wishes that konversation was as good as xchat, even thought he knows it's offtopic [02:49] give me plain text anyday [02:49] josh_, actions tab.. far right [02:49] never tried konversation [02:49] * Bsims can't wait for touch over TCP/IP [02:49] SeaPhor: ok, that means your wireless nic isn't working. [02:49] Bsims: it sucks. [02:49] sorry not there [02:50] Bsims: well lok into those sites and let me know, there are configs you can set for each [02:50] Yeah that was my opinion eons ago when I tried it [02:50] josh_, /join #Compiz [02:50] SeaPhor: let's check ndiswrapper next. 'lsmod | grep ndis' is it in there? [02:50] josh_, are you running hardy? [02:51] no [02:51] no [02:51] no [02:51] seaphor: Ok, let's try loading it. 'modprobe ndiswrapper' [02:51] josh_, what does lsb_release -a show [02:52] SeaPhor: did that throw any errors? [02:52] no === Max is now known as Maxdamantus === max` is now known as max [02:52] (lenny(debian)) [02:53] josh_, Please /join #Debian [02:53] hello! [02:53] SeaPhor: good. now run 'lsmod | grep ndis' and see if it is in there. [02:53] hiya fish2shoes [02:53] josh_, No Debian and Ubuntu are NOT the same. [02:53] hi! [02:54] are you sure? [02:54] hello fish2shoes [02:54] Hi all [02:54] Ubuntu is derrived from Debian. [02:54] josh_: they aren't the same. [02:54] SeaPhor: if it is, then the next step is to 'sudo ndiswrapper -l' and see what (if any) wireless drivers it says are loaded. [02:54] !debian [02:54] But it works in quite similar ways. [02:54] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [02:54] someone have isntall a ateros wireless card sucessfully? [02:54] nerdygirl_ellie: no not there [02:55] SeaPhor: interesting. try again? 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' [02:55] Ape is to Man, as Debian is to Ubuntu. [02:55] !ot > Maxdamantus [02:55] Maxdamantus: not really, more of homo erectus to homo sapiens. Most of the dna is the same. [02:55] nothing [02:55] don't be dissing the Debian its been around forever for a reason [02:56] I was describing the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu. [02:56] someone have install a atheros wireless card sucessfully over X64?

[02:57] sorry, thought looking for rtl8185 [02:57] josh_: define stability [02:57] it's all subjective [02:57] no, 'demsg' [02:58] some body can helpme with a at5007 over ubuntu 64X?

[02:58] Hello all, am totally newbie with any linux and need help with installing java [02:58] SeaPhor: ok, good. now try 'sudo ndiswrapper -l' ... what does it say?

[02:59] can't get it to work sudo where do i type it [02:59] cameo357: in a temrinal [02:59] josh_: If you want stability, go with slackware linux. Ubuntu cannot hold a candle to it in the stability area. That's mostly because ubuntu packages modern versions of applications, whereas Slackware packages stable versions of applications. Modern and stable are opposites. Software takes time to make stable.

[03:02] not likely to get any help that wau [03:02] way [03:02] !repeat > vnieto [03:02] I have a pidgin termiona, ad this is the full scroll:D [03:02] some body can helpme with a at5007 over ubuntu 64X? [03:03] <.< [03:03] evening [03:03] vnieto: to start, you should elaborate, what is an at5007? [03:03] mrpoundsign: would you be willing to let me ssh into your server? I may be able to help. [03:03] nerdygirl_ellie: fraid not :) [03:03] nerdygirl_ellie: such offers are not good policy. please refrain. [03:03] the at5007 is a atheros wireless card [03:03] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61307/ [03:04] vnieto: maybe madwifi would work [03:04] madwifi don't work for 64 [03:04] vnieto: then install i386 [03:04] any dvd player displays "closed captions" that appear on TV [03:04] vnieto: MadWifi *is* Atheros on Linux. if they don;t support your platform/chipset, it's game over. [03:04] any dvd player displays "closed captions" that appear on TV? [03:05] !repeat > Drod [03:05] vnieto: and what about ndiswrapper [03:05] mrpoundsign: understood. If I were you, I would stop mysql, copy the /var/lib/mysql files somewhere else, and then copy your tables back in one at a time until you get to the one that doesn't work. Then that one table you can plod around with and you know you'll have a minimally broken version as a backup to fall back to if you really broke it. [03:05] FR500: I have install ndiswrapper, work fine for a time, and later and now "see" the access point , but don't connect [03:05] u5q4rtj[ [03:06] i am new to ubuntu and may i say i'm quite impressed thus far [03:06] mneptok, I am new here, did you mean to give me an answer? [03:06] SeaPhor: Good, that means your ndiswrapper is installed and working. Now run 'sudo iwlist scan' and see if it finds any networks. [03:06] whats the best way to access another machine across a network. I know vnc, possibly telnet. but I'm checking other options out. mostly just need a command prompt. Any suggestions? [03:06] nerdygirl_ellie: yeah, I can get a list of busted tables. I think it's all the innodb ones rt created. [03:06] mneptok, sorry for repeating, I forgot the question mark! LOL [03:07] Drod: The "closed captions" are called subtitles, and several dvd applications support them. [03:07] or iwconfig and see if it says anything [03:07] vnieto: 64 bit windows drivers? [03:07] Drod: i meant to tell you to stop repeating, which i did. :) [03:07] Can any one help me with Desklets/screenlets? [03:07] no scan results [03:07] nerdygirl_ellie, thanks, but why is that on tv I can hit CC and they appear, but they do not appear as sutbitles on mplayer or VLC? [03:07] fr500: I use winxp 64 drivers [03:07] SeaPhor: does your laptop have a switch that disables the radio? [03:08] desktop [03:08] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61308/ [03:08] Ubuntu is based of debian, right? [03:08] mneptok..thanks...I meant to include the question mark only...sorry [03:08] vnieto: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/77521 spanish though [03:08] /usr/bin/gdm [03:08] there is none [03:09] is ubuntu based of debian? [03:09] Let's say I removed myself from /etc/passwd for my own fun [03:09] Drod: It's complex. Closed captions are transmitted in band with a television signal, and are intended to allow hearing impaired users to enjoy tv. Subtitles are embedded in a DVD in a different way and have a lot more capabilities. If I remember correctly, VLC has an option for subtitles. [03:09] dsync, debian derivative.. yes.. but very diiferent at the same time... [03:09] do you know why KDE is slow ? [03:09] !debian [03:09] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [03:09] and consumes too much ram! [03:09] fr500Let me try again [03:09] Let's say I removed myself from /etc/passwd for my own fun and I need to add myself back in. what to do? [03:10] but this is 5006 driver, not 5007 [03:10] I want to use /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono.ttf [03:10] I want to use /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono.ttf for my font for xterm/rxvt via 'rxvt -fn' ... how do I do that? [03:10] nerdygirl_ellie, thanks...I thought there should be a difference, on VLC and other players even in Windows, they accept subtitles but for the DVD I am playing there is none available....arent the closed captions somewhere on the DVD? only a tv has a decoder? [03:11] SeaPhor: the lshw just shows you that you can configure the interface. If you can't scan for networks, it isn't working. You can try another version of ndiswrapper, but it may just not work for you. [03:11] Drod: on a DVD they are typically called subtitles. [03:11] Drod: no. Closed captions can only be embedded in an analog signal. If your DVD doesn't have subtitles, they just aren't there. [03:12] Drod: A lot of my old black and white dvd's don't have any subtitles. [03:12] nerdygirl_ellie: Totem will display subtitles with a .txt extensions in the same dir as the movie and with the same named prefix [03:12] Drod: but they were only $1, so I'm not complaining. [03:13] nerdygirl_ellie: thanks, I learnt something today.....I am just trying to wash some english detective shows and the accent is tough for me... [03:13] nerdygirl_ellie, ok,,, i even put in 'wpa_passphrase linksys_SES_30119 83da16hb19634721' [03:13] Drod: LOL.. Is it Inspector cruseau(sp).. wait, he is french, nevermind. [03:13] nerdygril_ellie, I guess that if I have an analog converter connected to the laptop and get the TV signal in, I would be able to get the closed captios... [03:13] nerdygirl_ellie...very close, Detective Lynley [03:15] nerdygirl_ellie...thanks...back to guess the words ...hopefully I can learn fast... [03:15] I can see the meter bar showing signal strength,,, has to be seeing something?? [03:15] Jack_Sparrow: I just reboot my computer, and the sound works now.. thx tho [03:15] SeaPhor: nope, not going to happen. if it can't scan, then something is broken in communication with the wireless nic. Which kind of sucks. Some people have had success trying newer versions of ndiswrapper, but that means compiling from source, and very quickly moves out of the realm of irc-ability. [03:15] SeaPhor: one sec... === kevin_ is now known as kevin_121 [03:16] SeaPhor: if you run iwconfig, what interfaces does it list? === stephen is now known as saj0577 [03:16] SeaPhor: l0, eth0, and....? [03:16] <_2> hmmm what package provides iwconfig ? [03:17] 0_o [03:17] <_2> -root: iwconfig: command not found [03:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61309/ [03:18] Hi. I was playing around with /etc/font config files.. made the mistake of not backing them up first. Was wondering how I can replace them with the default configuration that comes with ubuntu? [03:19] SeaPhor: wireless-tools [03:19] Can I boot the live CD? and copy the 4 .conf files over? [03:19] <_2> geektasticgirl reinstall the package that provides them ? [03:19] not sure which package that is [03:19] ??? [03:19] SeaPhor: sorr... [03:19] why would a driver not show up in restricted driver manager after i installed it [03:19] it IS in lspci [03:19] _2: wireless-tools [03:20] it= card [03:20] <_2> geektasticgirl grep "/etc/font" /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list [03:20] 10 minutes of battery life remaining, any open questions I am ignoring? [03:20] thanks _2 [03:20] <_2> geektasticgirl or leave off the /*.list maybe. [03:20] Hello I am new to ubuntu and was just wondering if there is any way to speed it up...I am using a pentium II 400 mhz with 380mbs of ram. [03:21] <_2> nerdygirl_ellie thank you. [03:21] My motherboard does not accept any more ram... === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [03:21] Dam778: Hi! Welcome to ubuntu. Xubuntu is a "light" version of ubuntu with the xfce window manager, and will help some. [03:22] <_2> Dam778 also not running un-needed services helps. [03:22] Thank you ellie. [03:22] did you see the iwlist? [03:22] Dam778: what do you want to use it for? [03:22] dan_: you may optionally use a different window manager such as twm, dwm, fluxbox, enlightenment, fvwm or others to reduce the clutter on slower systems [03:23] Internet word proccessing and some photo editing. [03:23] very minor photo editing as I am limited by speed. [03:23] Vnieto [03:24] Dam778: id suggest running fluxbox or enlightenment as they both are very fast and will run whatever you want [03:24] thank for the help [03:24] Dam778: abiword is a lighter word processor than openoffice, and Opera is lighter than firefox. Gimp is the photo editing ap, and it will be slow. [03:24] reale help me [03:24] <_2> Dam778 yeah fluxbox/blackbox or even kde if you trim the fat... [03:24] is the compiz icon in the gutsy repos? [03:24] nerdygirl_ellie: did you see the iwconfig? [03:24] whats fluxbox and enlightenment? [03:25] SeaPhor: I did see it, but I don't see any way I can help. iwlist has always worked for my wireless nic's, so it is outside of my experience. [03:25] <_2> Dam778 window managers like gnome. [03:25] OK thanks [03:25] da778 xubuntu will definitely speed things up, but i would really recomend a faster linux like puppy and damn small linux. they are both wonderful [03:25] Dam778: google them the homepages will show up, they are bloth very lightweight window managewrs that use very little memory and CPU, so your computer should be pretty quick [03:25] Do I have to reinstall everything? [03:26] Dam778: if you use enlightewnment or fluxbox no [03:26] <_2> Dam778 no. just add what you want. [03:26] [GNOME] English help wanted. What is the English name of the 'alsa-utils' service in System > Preferences > Services ? [03:26] Ok [03:26] dam778 also epiphany-browser is excellant and very light [03:26] dam778 sudo-apt get install xubuntu-desktop [03:26] Dam778: They are window managers, the "engines" that let you move windows around on the screen. for a person that is new to linux, the variety of options are overwhelming. It isn't like windows, there are thousands of options you can try. If I were me, I would stick with what you have now for at least a week or two so you can get used to the basics. Then we can work through speeding it up some [03:27] Dam778: if you wish its a very small learning curver bbut will hel p you out a lot [03:27] <_2> nonewmsgs move dash ---> [03:27] nerdygirl_ellie: well i want to thank you for trying, i'm new to all this and haven't been getting much help, but you have at least tried, and I am grateful [03:27] sorry it's late and im going to bed right now [03:27] battery dying, goodnight all.

[04:41] i'm running 7.10 on a thinkpad t60. almost every time i boot i need to do an "/etc/init.d/networking stop" and then start it again before the wireless works. what's up with that? [04:41] IcemanV9: i would imagine that dpkg-reconfigure would have an option, but i'm not seeing it [04:42] IcemanV9: however, if you set the LANG variable in /etc/bashrc, then everyone using bash will get the appropriate language [04:42] encryptz: okay. thanks for ur help. [04:42] hi, just upgraded from feisty to gutsy, when I run gitk, a tcl program all the text is two or three times as large as it should be, same with firefox-3.0 [04:43] IcemanV9: /usr/share/doc/language-selector/ might have some useful docs [04:43] vee_: I think they're all fine choices. shutdown with -h will turn off the computer, although I believe on most systems it will as well, even without the -h [04:44] I have a sound problem...could somebody help, all relevant info is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61313/ [04:44] Flannel the only reason Im asking is that they all do the same.... but one or two give error messages on the screen.... i have to see if I can find one as an example [04:45] any1 here willing to help? [04:45] is there anyone knowledgeable to the reason why scandetd contains an empty directory on every server and there are no source packages available for it? [04:46] andrzej101: that's just a screenshot of your drives and sizes. what's the problem with the install? [04:46] Gnea: there's no binary package for it either. Are oyu sure thats the package name? [04:46] Flannel: 100% [04:47] Gnea: and what version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:47] encryptz: give ma a sec i'll show you a screenshot [04:47] Flannel .... the one I could catch says.... libhal shutdown failed [04:47] andrzej101: just characterize the problem. tell me symptoms [04:47] http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/3097/screenshotgitkwinexm6.png - as you can see the fonts are too large [04:47] Flannel: gutsy. try doing a google search, there are probably over 100 ubuntu repo servers with the same empty directory. [04:47] Sound doesn't work on my machine, all the relevant troubleshooting info is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61313/ [04:48] this is driving me up the wall... there's no reason why it shouldn't be included. [04:48] well, it wants to erase the whole nvidia stripe, and than it says it can't install swap [04:48] SIRavecavec: what version are u using? [04:48] encryptz, i use a czech version of edubuntu and i cannot find a way to change my language cause i do not know czech language [04:48] andrzej101: nvidia swipe? [04:48] iceman now i make complete the upgrade from 6.06 to 7... [04:49] Gnea: it's not in Ubuntu, but it appears to eb in debian. If you're loking for the source package, debian's should work. [04:49] nvidia stripe: main logical drive with 3xntfs partitions [04:49] 7.04? [04:49] yes IcemanV9 [04:49] andrzej101: so, you're trying to erase those partitions and install ubuntu over them? [04:49] SIRavecavec: You can't go from 6.06 to 7.04 directly. You have to go from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10. Or if you wait a month, you can go from 6.06 to 8.04 directly. [04:50] Flannel: i can find no discussion on it either. massively disturbing. [04:50] SIRavecavec: do you have ~/.scim directory? [04:50] Flannel: well, you *could*, but it may mean some fun times. ツ [04:50] Flannel, this is not important to me important is to change the language [04:50] you serious you cant go from 6.06 to 8.04? [04:50] IcemanV9, wait a few minutes untill i complete upgrade [04:50] Gnea: looks like it used to be in debian (sarge) but not anymore. So, they could be vestigal direcotries. You try asking in -motu? [04:51] /usr/local/lib/codecs/ what dose this mean [04:51] nope, I got 3xNTFS partitions, 1 ex3 12Gb and 1xswap for linux 512 MB. That is all based on 2x250GB RAID 0 drives [04:51] jimiridge: it's not recommended. serious package breakage could occur. of coures you *can*, however [04:51] jimiridge: You CAN go from 6.06 to 8.04 [04:51] * encryptz looks forward to the lts-to-lts upgrade patch [04:51] s/patch/path/ [04:51] encryptz: It already works! [04:51] anyone? [04:52] jimiridge: you can't skip versions while upgrading. LTS to LTS is supported however. [04:52] encryptz: nope, I got 3xNTFS partitions, 1 ex3 12Gb and 1xswap for linux 512 MB. That is all based on 2x250GB RAID 0 drives [04:52] Flannel: mine did not work :-/ [04:52] IcemanV9: Hardy is still beta. Did you file bugs about it? [04:52] gcc error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldyn, does it mean something for you ? [04:52] yep [04:53] Flannel: i was meaning upgrading from 6.06 to 7.10 [04:53] /msg nickserv Thespian Thespian_ [04:53] encryptz: Right, I think he may have meant 6.06 to 7.04. [04:54] /msg nickserv link Thespian Thespian_ [04:54] Thespian: don't put a space before /msg [04:55] SIRavecavec: if you have .scim directory, then you might have a chance to change the language. I cannot promise though, but ... in the terminal, nano ~/.scim/global and look for this line, /SupportedUnicodeLocales = [04:56] SIRavecavec: what language are you trying to change from czech to ?? [04:57] encryptz: here's how i got it set when trying to install: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5851/zrzutekranu1pd5.png and what error i get: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7969/zrzutekranu2mh0.png it says that the mount points are the same, but i dunno if i should change it [04:57] Hey, I'm trying to install a webcam onto my computer, however, I couldn't find any sort of driver on the maker's website, is there an open source alternative, such that I can broadcast on stickam and the like?

[05:10] i am about to install linux ubuntu/windows xp on my mothers computer [05:10] kelvin911: you can also play alot of windows games in linux using wine. [05:11] im a bit confused about the partitions though [05:11] how? [05:11] ubuntu needs 3 partitions right? [05:11] i have an issue.. Everytime i get pasts GRUB and ubuntu loads, my CPU fan stops(thus overheating quickly..) and according ubuntu controlling my cpu isn't supported.. so how would i get the fan to start spinning like normal again?.. [05:11] using wine? [05:11] boot, swap and for linux [05:11] right? [05:11] i use Cedega [05:11] white wine , red wine ?? [05:11] crackerjackz: you don't need a separate boot [05:11] just kidding :) [05:11] hello [05:11] kelvin911: install wine, than you can just install alot of windows games [05:12] anyone can help me installing dwl g132 usb wireless adapter, please? [05:12] astro76 so i only need the 2 partitions for ubuntu? [05:12] can i install wine and just run the game off my c:\ (ntfs) [05:12] so any idea how to get 4 speakers working with a Sound Blaster Live? [05:12] crackerjackz: all that's required is /. swap, /boot, /home, /etc/, blah blah is all optional [05:12] iceman i try to change from czech to english [05:12] so how many partitions do i need to make? [05:12] and im at version 6.06 yet [05:12] crackerjackz: that's up to you [05:12] well how many are required for ubuntu to work [05:13] kelvin911: probably with games that don't use the registry and wright to disk [05:13] i use Cedega and i play City of heroes, Deus Ex, Star Wars Jedi Academy, Delta force 3, etc [05:13] and how do i make my quickcam messenger working?? [05:13] crackerjackz: i told you. just / [05:13] i cant find nothing online [05:13] sorry encryptz im new to linux [05:13] if I just spent a few hours configuring my Ubuntu laptop with packages I want, and setting up various applications.... is there a way I can take a snapshot and burn it to DVD so I can restore it easier if I screw it up? [05:14] but you can install alot of games by just using the regular install program [05:14] you can see online which games are supported under wine:http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php?iCatId=2 [05:14] encryptz "just /" [05:14] * crackerjackz is confused [05:14] Anyone here know how to make DWL G132 work ? [05:14] you can get a lot of the best old schoo games running fine in wine [05:14] like Diablo2 and Fallout [05:14] the holy Fallout [05:14] whoop, because i sometimes boot into winxp so i want to install the game in xp and be able to just run it off c:\ in ubuntu [05:14] Curse Bathesda's name. [05:14] is it possible? [05:14] crackerjackz, You need a swap partition and a / ( root ) partition [05:14] anyone use charles? [05:14] crackerjackz: the filesystem in its entirety exists under the '/' directory [05:15] hey is there A .deb package for the avant window navigator? [05:15] o [05:15] So anyone know if switching to KDE4 is worth it at this point? [05:15] crackerjackz: as such, that's the only partition you *need* [05:15] any productivity increases? [05:15] SIRavecavec: wait. you're at 6.06? then you don't have .scim directory. go to system (3rd menu) > admin (2nd down) > language support (3rd down) [05:15] just 1 partition? [05:15] boot? [05:15] blankthemuffin: he doesn't need a swap [05:15] crackerjackz: no, /. not /boot [05:15] Why not encryptz ? [05:15] ghost: not sure [05:15] crackerjackz: there's an automatic option in the installer so you don't have to worry about this [05:15] ghost: like to find out though [05:15] i know [05:15] encryptz, you run without a swap? [05:15] kelvin911: you will then need wine and it won't work for all games I think. I can't answer you'r question because I don't run windows [05:15] but i need to do it manually [05:15] because im also installing windows xp [05:15] blankthemuffin: swap is only if your ram fills, which you may have a lot of and not fill [05:16] its on my moms computer [05:16] ghost: of course you can [05:16] Midnight Commander Internal File Viewer in a Gnome terminal: How can I copy a string to the clipboard? [05:16] im tired of formatting her windblowz box all the time [05:16] what about webcam? [05:16] Swap has more use than that encryptz [05:16] crackerjackz: install windows first, then ubuntu [05:16] im using linux gentoo [05:16] have only been using it for about 5 months [05:16] how to install my logitech quickcam messenger? [05:16] (i didnt instal it) [05:16] I have no experience with webcam [05:16] tyler_d I want to find out ill put it on my older test notebook but she runs XFC, i would hate to put a monster like kde on it unless kde4 has the performance boost they where talking about [05:16] i had help [05:16] anyone knows to get the rear channels of a Sound Blaster Live to work? [05:16] I mean, unless you have about 8Gb of ram you could easy fill it with a few apps. [05:16] thx whoop [05:16] IcemanV9, not working [05:16] blankthemuffin: not really. swap is only for temporary storage when ram fills [05:16] oo [05:17] guise guise [05:17] is there any equivalent for the package krb5-libs with ubuntu ? [05:17] I am so frustrated. :( [05:17] encryptz I assume it would function like a windows box without swa-er, page file, but do any common apps depend on swapspace or is that all managed by the kernel? [05:17] logitech quickcam messenger: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111225 [05:17] ;( [05:17] ghost: managed by the kernel. don't confuse swap with tmpfs [05:17] Why is websurfing so drastically slower in Ubuntu than in Windows? [05:17] can ubuntu write to NTFS? [05:18] I /routinely/ get timeouts because it takes so long for a page to resolve. [05:18] encryptz, unless you can somehow make sure that your ram is not going to fill, you really should have it. Yes crackerjackz [05:18] SIRavecavec: hm. language support have two flags (US & German) icon .... look for that! i don't know what else to tell you. sorry. [05:18] blankthemuffin: sure. swap is recommended, but not needed [05:18] encryptz, will you experience the reasonable performance boost of eliminating the diskwrites? [05:18] Anyone know the relative stability of Hardy beta? [05:18] f0x: your question makes it sound like that's the case for everyone, which it very much is not. [05:18] is not in there [05:18] what is the best way to take a snapshot of my ubuntu system for easier restore later if I mess it up later? [05:18] so if i make windows on an NTFS i will be able to write to it? [05:18] ghost: you mean running and installing the whole os in ram? [05:18] so there is no way i can change it from cli [05:18] I was under the impression that out the box linux (well depending on how you set it up) avoids writing to the disk as much as it can [05:18] tritium: My apologies! I didn't intend for it to sound like that. [05:19] encryptz, Then why the hell are you telling a linux noob that he doesn't need it with out adding that little bit in there.. :/ [05:19] sound blaster live + 4 speakers ... any takers for the question ? :P [05:19] encryptz, can you assist me a bit? [05:19] f0x: no need to apologize :) [05:19] ghost: not really. [05:19] Yes you can read and write from ntfs crackerjackz [05:19] encryptz no not the whole thing in bubble, just no swapspace [05:19] so can you not install xorg-driver-fglrx on a system that has nvidia-glx-new? [05:19] tritium: Let me rephrase: What is so perversely wrong with my setup that my normal websurfing is snailed to a halt? [05:19] kelvin911: so it seems to be possible to run your webcam [05:19] on my 2 gig box, i NEVER see swap getting used [05:19] blankthemuffin: because he asked what was needed. and i have yet to see swap used, even on 512MB systems [05:19] i can't turn on accelerated graphics effects in Gutsy [05:20] quentusrex: I'm running the kubuntu beta on my desktop ( a few program crashes nothing major) and the Xubuntu beta on my laptop which seems more stable I can't speak for vanilla ubuntu though [05:20] f0x: I do agree that it's likely something with your setup. Anything more you can tell us? [05:20] ghost: linux uses the disk whenever it needs it. in fact, due to atime, it writes to the disk far more than it should [05:20] can some one send me some documentation on how to set up ubuntus partions manually [05:20] seaphor i cant send private message it said i am not register [05:20] tritium: Well, I believe it's 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon - I experience the same problem when booted into SuSE. Would there be any reason that my router wouldn't like linux-like network traffic? [05:20] i think i asked that question in a way that didnt make sense [05:20] I thought there was a kernel config option to limit that? [05:21] last time i messed with all this was when i tried Gentoo [05:21] tritium: I am certainly connected though - I am chatting to you through my Ubuntu. [05:21] ghost: noatime, but that presents problems. relatime will be a better fix [05:21] since then i have gotten lazy and just use the ubuntu [05:21] Everytime i get past GRUB and ubuntu loads, my CPU fan stops, i've tried setting it back on, but it says it's unsupported.. any idea how i could fix this? [05:21] whoop how do u send that message i forgot irc command [05:21] Presea... don't boot that up anymore [05:21] Hey, I'm having trouble with my intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN.

[05:24] SIRavecavec: it's okay ... it's just a warning message [05:24] encryptz [05:24] i tried that, then the PC complained about booting without a fan [05:24] im still confused =[ [05:24] crackerjackz: about... [05:24] hi, i'm having a problem. I'm trying to transcode a WAV to AC3 or MP2 so that I can get it on a DVD menu, but I'm getting this error message: "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51: undefined symbol: NeAACDecDecode". What does that mean? [05:24] tritium: most certainly not :D. i will...what is /etc/resolv.conf <-- linux n00b [05:24] how many partitions i need for ubuntu to work [05:24] no i dont mean private chat session [05:24] and what file system do they need to be [05:24] f0x: it lists your nameservers [05:24] crackerjackz: ext3 is recommended [05:24] Man your Comp is whiny, Presea XD [05:24] i mean like send message to someone to see here [05:24] encryptz, continuing from our conversation, can I expect then a performance boost nixing the swap and using the realtime patch you where talking about on the kernel? and if thats so, how does default debian/ubuntu kernel do it? [05:25] i don't get it [05:25] ya most emachines are i guess [05:25] crackerjackz, Reccomended: 1 Swap partition and 1 ext3 "/" partition [05:25] tritium: ah, i see. Theres a 'search' and then 'nameserver 192.168.0.1' (which is my router) [05:25] so 2 patitions all together [05:25] how big does swap need to be [05:25] tritium: What is this 'search' buisness/ [05:25] I am a bit of a ricer when it comes to my computer [05:25] crackerjackz: how much ram do you have? [05:25] Yes, that's recomended crackerjackz [05:25] Should I try commenting it out? [05:25] 1 gig [05:25] 300 gig HD [05:25] Anyone know if there has been a Beta ISO released for Hardy Heron on PowerPC? [05:25] crackerjackz, a 1Gb swap partition should do then. [05:25] f0x: no, don't comment it out [05:25] well, it seems to stop while it's loading up devices [05:26] intel core 2 duo process 2.6ghz [05:26] ghost: you won't see a performance boost if you're not using swap. you will if you use noatime, however [05:26] ghost: disk performance, that is [05:26] which requires swap? [05:26] ghost: not sure if relatime is supported in the kernel yet [05:26] ghost: no [05:26] noatime stops it from writing driver states or something right? [05:26] encryptz: there is a real-time kernel [05:27] !info linux-image-rt [05:27] i think i read some article about that on /. [05:27] ghost: noatime keeps the kernel from writing to the disk for every read of a file/directory [05:27] ghost: atime has nothing to do with swap [05:27] tritium: is it in gutsy or hardy? [05:27] Hi Guys, Is there a better Terminal than the standard gnome-terminal? I am finding it hard on the eyes to program with this font and such. Is there that supports cleartype fonts perhaps? [05:27] why does it write to disk to read filestats? [05:27] how do i scroll up in BitchX with the keyboard my scrollwheel is broken [05:27] encryptz: both [05:27] guys i need help installing a package im trying to do install ia32-libs but it says E: couldnt find the package so whats wrong? [05:27] it writes them down to parse? [05:27] Hey all! [05:27] tritium: relatime is? really? [05:28] * encryptz did not know that [05:28] !info ia32-libs [05:28] crackerjackz, page up / down? no idea really. [05:28] nope [05:28] ghost: it writes to the disk to update the timestamp in the inode [05:28] encryptz: yes, apt-cache show linux-image-rt, and see for yourself [05:28] when i tried to install the x64 version of ubuntu on my friends PC, the monitor turns off right after it says "kernel loading" [05:28] tdela zsh [05:28] please help [05:28] ghost: zsh is a shekk [05:28] and the up and down arrow keys just show my previous statements [05:28] Hey, I'm having trouble with my intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN. It keeps dropping out with the error: "kernel: [ 3869.844000] wlan0: No ProbeResp from current AP 00:08:a1:a1:00:56 - assume out of range" I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 Ideas? Anything? [05:28] shell* [05:28] tritium: np. i believe you. just goot news is all. ツ [05:28] encryptz: :) [05:28] s/goot/good/ [05:28] tdela what are you looking for? [05:28] iSplicer, how much ram does it have, or alternately, turn the monitor back on :) [05:28] iSplicer: wait a minute or two after that happens [05:29] ghost: I mean terminal, such as aterm, or something with better font support [05:29] encryptz 1 gig of ram how big did you say that swap needs to be again? [05:29] h [05:29] Is anyone currently running Hardy? [05:29] there is no signal, the monitor goes to standby; he has 4GB of DDR2-1066 RAM [05:29] quentusrex: #ubuntu+1, please [05:29] ghost: im addicted to my iTerm on mac, something similar perhaps? [05:29] I'm running Hardy Kubuntu and Xubuntu [05:29] crackerjackz: if you have 1 GB, i would do at least that, but no more than 2GB [05:29] !hardy [05:29] thanks tritium [05:29] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [05:29] crackerjackz: how big is the hdd? [05:29] i tried installing hardy but could not login on livecd [05:29] is there a way to have networked LVM?? like 2 servers with 4 1TB disks networked and all added into one LVM volume? [05:29] encryptz its 300 GB [05:30] goob: It should login automatically on a livecd [05:30] crackerjackz: than 2GB is sufficient [05:30] SO, it will work after I wait 2 minutes while there is no display? [05:30] just for curiosity sake [05:30] any swap more than 2GB is just a waste of hdd space, imo [05:30] yeah but since it is a beta i think there is an issue [05:30] what do I use to unzip files ? [05:30] Would anyone know why my sound isn't working it was working fine yesterday and only sound now that works is the pc beep ? [05:30] what would happen if you made it under 1 gig or over 2 gig [05:30] tdela oh i see. I just use zsh with gnome-terminal :) [05:30] goob: check your md5 against the one posted on the site [05:30] For some reason, my computer keeps freezing, and won't work at all. I was wondering if there was a way to cure this symptom, until the disease is found, so to speak... Anyone? [05:30] im sure they have fancy ones with more font support [05:30] crackerjackz: nothing. 1GB is recommended, if you want to suspend to ram. [05:30] hmm good point [05:31] crackerjackz: more than 2GB is a horrible waste of hdd space [05:31] ahhh [05:31] tdela I used to use a cool one that functioned like the quake termenal, when you hit ` it would bring a terminal down [05:31] so if i make swap 2 gig will it perform better? [05:31] crackerjackz: no [05:31] sorry for being such a n00b [05:31] crackerjackz: not likely [05:31] ghost: ah :) never played quake. [05:31] ok [05:31] goob: alternately you can try burning the image at a slower speed (less likely to get errors while burning) [05:31] crackerjackz: swap is just temporary storage space for applications when ram fills up [05:31] !help [05:31] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:31] well im about to go upstairs and start the windows install first like you said [05:31] crackerjackz: think virtual ram in the windows world [05:32] so when i do my partitions i guess make C:\ on hda 1 [05:32] think of a transparent terminal window sliding down to about halfway [05:32] Something similar to the standby ctrl+alt+del in windows... [05:32] never hit page - ever, [05:32] its there a way to change language from czech to english via terminal? [05:32] swap and etc3 on hda2 and 3? [05:32] hit the ` button again and it will slide up out of sight [05:32] then hda4 for storage? [05:32] tdela, you've *never* played quake? [05:32] * Daisuke_Ido checks for fever [05:32] crackerjackz: that works [05:32] are you sure you're human? [05:32] Daisuke_Ido: not everyone plays, or has time for, games [05:32] encryptz, ah, so i need a good gig or swap for suspend to work? did not know it used swap for suspend [05:32] !pm [05:32] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [05:33] i love ubotu [05:33] ghost: not necessarily. suspend works fine on my laptop, and i'm not using swap at all [05:33] ubotu? [05:33] encryptz and any one else that has answered my questions [05:33] ghost: hibernate on the other hand... [05:33] i thank you very much [05:33] I'm crashing randomly, can anyone help? [05:33] crackerjackz: np [05:33] Is there a way to maybe reload my default sound settings ? [05:33] i don't use hibernate, i can't think of any reason to use it [05:33] same [05:34] what application can just be started again [05:34] lol [05:34] the help bot that just layed the etiquitte smackdown on some poor fool [05:34] Artfullylost I was crashing randomly too so i just got rid of vista today [05:34] No power consumption and faster boot time when you power back on. [05:34] rama_su : See, I'm crashing in linux.... that's the difference. [05:34] and really, you could set up a session save that would do damn near the same thing won't it? [05:34] uhoh what distro you using? [05:34] is it just a frozen screen or a full kernel panic? [05:34] ghost: never played with session save, so dunno [05:35] rama_su : Urm... ubuntu. [05:35] just the standard one or a beta? [05:35] tritium: http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-slow-internet/ [05:35] Something interesting here. [05:35] encryptz, i don't really use it, i find if i screw something up i want to be able to restart session and unload whatever was wonky [05:35] Daisuke_Ido: no, never heh. [05:36] Standard... [05:36] tdela, it's okay, like tritium said, not everyone has time for games (or even likes them) [05:36] is it a new installation? [05:36] ! Brasero | me [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:36] rama_su : Relatively, yes. [05:36] what was the last application you installed before the crashes started [05:36] forsaken: interesting. We don't see many complaints in here, as that article would suggest [05:37] Daisuke_Ido: I like games but as he said, i have zero time for games, zero time for anything :( [05:37] ! tell Nasra about Brasero [05:37] hey what do you all use for antivirus on your linux machines? [05:37] games are great as long as you have a hacked resource stripped copy of windows xp behind the curtain but use it for "nothing" else haha [05:37] i have two more questions [05:38] in before 'don't need it' [05:38] ghost: nothing [05:38] does anyone know if mIRC runs in wine? [05:38] ghost, the invisible av program [05:38] rama_su : Firefox. [05:38] what filesystem does swap need to be on and how big does ext3 need to be [05:38] ethan961, it does, but wouldn't you rather use something *good*? [05:38] yes it does === Fenris_Ulf is now known as FenrisUlf [05:38] is it firefox 2.0 or the new beta 3.0? [05:38] crackerjackz: swap is it's own fs type [05:38] thanks [05:38] Is anyone pretty familiar with sounds and how to troubleshoot it ? [05:38] crackerjackz: swap is it's own filesystem [05:38] oh [05:38] tritium can you recommend a non-live av program? [05:38] crackerjackz: the rest, ext3 [05:38] 2.0.0.6. [05:38] like something i can cron to run once a year or something [05:39] ghost: sorry, I've never had need of one, so I have no experience upon which to draw to make a recommendation [05:39] It seems a lot like using it is part of the problem, though. [05:39] well first thing I'd do is try to completely uninstall it then reinstall [05:39] so like what 10gb for the ext 3? [05:39] I just want to figure out how to get the computer de-crashed without rebooting. [05:39] ext3** [05:39] tritium, yeah, i mean i guess with security patches every week there isn't a need [05:39] crackerjackz: however you want to partition it, is up to you [05:39] Silencedbear: I find this post quite useful for sound problems - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:39] ahh without formatting you mean [05:39] ok ty mkquist :) [05:39] No, without rebooting the computer. [05:39] Silencedbear: np [05:39] encryptz if you were me how big would you make it? [05:39] Silencedbear: g/l [05:39] ohh [05:40] I can't get JAVA work. I downloaded the jre.bin rom sun.com and installed, but firefox keeps saying that it needs plugins. [05:40] crazy [05:40] ghost: it goes beyond that, really [05:40] no need to wait for the once a month when you're forced to install patches and reboot even when the patches were for apps that could just be restarted [05:40] crackerjackz: you're halfing the drive between win xp and ubuntu? [05:40] encryptz yes [05:40] lartza_, install it from the repos. [05:40] it didn't work with some applet's [05:40] Yea it worked fine than my java messed up someone helped me fix that and my sound died on me. Not sure why but im not really good with linux at all I'm trying to learn would be nice if i could hear somethings though :P [05:41] Is there a way? [05:41] well i'm screwed no BIOS updates, and i can't figure out how to get the fan running >_> [05:41] Said "Unable to load applet" or something like that, [05:41] i'll just forget i ever installed this OS [05:42] Has anyone found a fix to enable visual effects (compiz-fuxion) with xinerama duel monitors? ^^ [05:42] crackerjackz: partitioning drives takes a lot of planning. if this is for your mother, as you say, then 1GB swap and the rest to / is sufficient [05:42] can't win them all... the people predisposed to hate it will, regardless of how much one tries to convince them [05:42] rama_su: you mean "dual" monitors? (I doubt they're fighting...) [05:42] well linux goes on EXT3 right? [05:42] right [05:42] oh yea sorry I grew up in video games :p [05:43] I can't get java work, firefox asks plugins if it's the offical and applet's say "Unable to load the applet" if it's from repo's [05:43] haha, good excuse, rama_su :) [05:43] Is anyone using avant window navigator? And where did you get it from>>>>>? [05:43] lartza_, what package did you isntall? [05:43] how much space does ubuntu take up on EXT3? [05:43] crackerjackz: only about 2GB for a default intsall [05:43] install* [05:43] ok [05:43] crackerjackz: only a couple GB [05:43] thank you =] [05:44] I doubt there's a fix for it its just ram is so cheap now a days figured I'd play with the eye-candy [05:44] where to download osx theme for ubuntu? [05:44] go to sanaptic amd ista;; java jre6 [05:44] i want to make my desktop look like a mac [05:44] Daisuke_Ido:When? I tried GCJ and Sun-Java from repo's and gcj didn't work at all. THen i installed the jre bin package from sun [05:45] well downloading it straight from sun isn't going to help if you don't know how to install it, install sun-java6-plugin and sun-java6-jre (i do believe the latter is a dependency of the former) [05:45] kelevn9111 gnome-look.org [05:45] and are you using firefox?

[05:53] so i dont need a boot partition? [05:53] you'll need to install that [05:54] and how to make a wallpaper in background when i rotate the cube? [05:54] which one is fire effect? [05:54] you're better asking in #compiz-fusion [05:54] * Daisuke_Ido facepalms [05:54] kelvin911: you have compizconfig-settings-manager? [05:54] read the docs. i HATE when people tell me that, but you really should at least browse their site for a couple minutes to get an idea of how to enable plugins [05:55] yes i do, odd-rationale [05:55] crackerjackz: no you dont *need* a /boot partition [05:55] thank you odd so just swap and ext3 [05:55] kelvin911: the compiz manager has all those settings [05:55] kelvin911: go to animation --> close effect [05:55] no joy,,, cant find sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list [05:56] kate command not found [05:56] anyone know how to install avant window manager I'm getting these source list errors [05:56] kelvin911: then double click the current effect to edit [05:56] kelvin911: "burn" is the fire effect [05:56] <|david|> prettyricky: replace kate with gedit [05:56] oh [05:57] <|david|> kate is kde, gedit is gnome, ubuntu is gnome [05:57] crackerjackz: just swap and / [05:57] * Daisuke_Ido refacepalms [05:57] close animation?

[05:57] yes [05:57] crackerjackz: / == root [05:57] i cant find burn [05:58] oooo [05:58] and it needs to be on EXT3 right? [05:58] crackerjackz: yes. preferably [05:58] it has glide 2 and fade [05:58] ok thank you [05:58] i think i got it now [05:58] did you install the plugins? [05:58] kelvin911: go to the "close" tab === |david| is now known as davenull [05:59] wait [05:59] i got it [05:59] yes [05:59] can firefox3 be installed alongside firefox2? [05:59] thx [05:59] kelvin911: ok great [05:59] peepsalot, yep [06:00] kelvin911: now for the shydome, go to the desktop cube --> appearance --> skydome [06:00] Yeah, I'm leaving ubuntu. Too crashy. [06:00] artfullylost: must be your hardware [06:00] Daisuke_Ido, ok, attempting noe [06:00] tritium : Doubtful. [06:00] peepsalot: yes [06:00] now [06:00] artfullylost, probably [06:01] tritium : It runs windows for months on end without crashing or slowing down. [06:01] artfullylost: not doubtful, as it's not "crashy" for the majority of its users [06:01] artfullylost, LNW [06:01] !offtopic [06:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:01] linux is not windows [06:01] the fire effect is cool [06:01] Odd-rationale: ? [06:01] artfullylost: i have had one crash, currently at 152 day uptime [06:01] what else is cool? [06:01] what causes it to crash?? [06:01] tritium: I smelled a flame war... [06:01] last crash i had was a dead ancient hard drive better than 50 days ago [06:02] kelvin911: ring switcher is cool - super+tab [06:02] old hdd will get ya [06:02] if he doesn't want ubuntu then he doesn't have to have ubuntu [06:02] <---yet to crash [06:02] kelvin911: that is after you enable it [06:02] whats that? super+tab ?? [06:02] super tab is pretty cool [06:02] kelvin911: windows key = super [06:02] kelvin, super = the windows key [06:02] Odd-rationale: true, but not everyone has a "crashy" install [06:02] a better looking alt-tab [06:03] davenull: Like me! :) [06:03] oh, i didnt know that thanks [06:03] well that didn;t work for AWN. that sucks [06:03] i had a lot of problems when i first installed, but they have all been easier to fix then i thought [06:03] this channel right here is a small subset of ubuntu users [06:03] true enough, the only box i have with better uptime is my ipcop box [06:03] the forum as well [06:03] that means a whole lot of users are having no problems [06:03] I get broken package [06:03] how to make background when i rotate cube [06:04] kelvin911: the skydome [06:04] and whats the hot key for rotating background [06:04] i mean cube [06:04] ive been using ubuntu since 7.04, every day, 5 boxen [06:04] ctrl+alt+leftmouse button click and hold [06:04] kelvin911: ^ [06:04] and move around [06:05] is there a way to see exactly what file is being used for a currently installed kernel module? [06:05] kelvin911: read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/ConfiguringCompiz [06:05] anyone have a dell laptop with ubuntu? [06:05] davenull, 6.10 here (and believe me, edgy almost drove me to homicide) [06:05] what is this>>>Depends: libawn0 but it is not going to be installed [06:05] Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.18.3) but 1.18.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [06:05] davenull: preinstalled, you mean? [06:05] Hamled: yes, modinfo [06:05] davenull, as a matter of fact i do [06:06] thanks [06:06] prettyricky, you need to install libawn0 from that same repo. [06:06] assuming it's there [06:06] Daisuke_Ido: did you have to add a kernel module to get the fan working? [06:06] nope [06:06] do I just sudo libawn0? [06:06] but i'm on a 1420, could be different [06:07] lm-sensor package makes sensor setup easy [06:07] I have a latitude d620, the bios reports acpi info, but doesnt accept, took me 7 months to dig up a fix, 38kb module. good bye cooler pad [06:07] hi i get this error when i try to add remove applications === l is now known as Emo_6urL [06:08] MercZero: wouldnt give the fan trip points to the bios [06:08] sucked [06:08] ya - acpi / fan control haunts laptops [06:08] so you did get it fixed? [06:09] i love the 1420, kicks in properly, and most importantly, processor scaling works wonderfully [06:09] Daisuke_Ido: a module called 18k, available in the repo!!!!!! youd think it would be easier to find. apparently alot of dells have a weird bios [06:09] if i'm away from home, i keep it throttled to 800mhz, especially if all i'm doing is browsing or writing [06:09] and the core duo scales wonderfully [06:10] (gnome-app-install:4466): HtmlUtil-CRITICAL **: html_stream_cancel: assertion `stream->cancel_func != NULL' failed [06:10] what is this? [06:10] when I go to install libawn0 it says I need libpango1.0-0 but this is already installed? [06:10] Gutsy offers three services: mysql, mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm. What does 'ndb' and 'mgm'stand for? [06:10] the airplane effect is cool [06:11] Daisuke_Ido: on mine, its dynamic on ac and batt, but i set it to scale up a lttle later on battery [06:11] i use ondemand for ac, conservative for abttery [06:12] i get about 4-4.5 hours, so i'm okay with that [06:12] Daisuke_Ido: bout the same here [06:14] see you all later! have a good night. [06:14] <|lilox|> #ubuntu-es [06:15] hey guys I'm trying to back up my hdd. Which folders do I need to backup? In particular, I would like to install linux on another box and import all the desktop customizations and configurations I have on my primary box. Which folder would my configurations be in? [06:15] ~ [06:16] fismoll8: most would be in your home folder .. they're usually hidden files [06:17] a friend of mine has just installed Ubuntu, and when executing pppoeconf command to configure his ADSL (which works fine from Windows on the same PC) he gets the following message: "Sorry, I scanned 1 interface(s), but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not erspond.

[06:23] davenull: I haven't touched it since install, so it's whatever Ubuntu came with [06:23] I've tried xvncviewer, vncviewer, and xvnc4viewer and none of them are logging in to any vnc servers, I do like, vncviewer 192.168.0.99:0 and it acts like it's logging in, and no screen ever pops up asking for a password. but in windows using realvnc I login just fine [06:23] Kungo: should all work fine, why not just test them [06:24] MrSkittle: that is the fun part, dont know, but i do know you NEED version 3 on that . google "ipw2200 firmware upgrade" [06:24] a friend of mine has just installed Ubuntu, and when executing pppoeconf command to configure his ADSL (which works fine from Windows on the same PC) he gets the following message: "Sorry, I scanned 1 interface(s), but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not erspond.

[06:26] That was sort of redundant, sorry, I'm tired [06:26] whelp, it looks like it connections, but there is no screen, like the monitor of the target pc lights back up but nothing happens [06:26] Captain-Murphy: pm me and i [06:26] ill send you the code for menu.lst [06:26] CConn: connected to host 192.168.0.16 port 5900 [06:27] captain murphy: look up windows xp boot.ini and copy to grub [06:27] but no x window to play with :( [06:27] is it possible to give my terminal windows a name [06:27] google [06:27] so that i dont get so confused [06:27] RabidWeezle: what is the full command you enter?

[06:31] title Windows XP Professional ; root (hd0,0) ; makeactive ; chainloader +1 ; boot [06:31] MrSkittle: then if no one there points to a solution and you can't find one in the forums you might try switching to an older encryption perhaps ... WEP? [06:31] I did it with no 0 davenull [06:31] replace ; with carriage return [06:31] it's not asking for my password === Memphis{away} is now known as Memphis{desktop} [06:31] seamus7: WEP is insecure though... [06:32] basically useless... [06:32] RabidWeezle: the vnc server might not be configured correctly [06:32] on 3 machines? and 2 os'es? [06:32] and they can all see each other? [06:32] and they all work, but this viewer don't... [06:32] i don't use any wireless security, just use MAC blocking [06:32] Well thanks for your help [06:32] MrSkittle: if you truly need perfect security then yeah I guess you have a problem ... WEP though is fine for most people [06:33] RabidWeezle: then that is the little bit of info we needed , huh? [06:33] MrSkittle who just want to prevent a neighbor from easy access to their network [06:33] Ubuntu (and probably Debian) offers three services: mysql, mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm. What does 'ndb' and 'mgm' stand for? [06:33] davenull, this machine is the one with the messed up viewer, hence why I'm asking about it [06:33] kindofabuzz makes a good suggestion [06:34] I didn't ask about the server on the other end, I know it works [06:34] I tested it on 2 other machines [06:34] anyone know of an app that will put rss headlines on your desktop? [06:34] RabidWeezle: didnt know if you had others, the viewer doesnt really have any config to mess up, thats why I thought it was the server. [06:35] Captain-Murphy: did 'sudo update-grub' work? [06:35] chrionix, i think there is a screenlet tthat does that [06:35] davenull: next question, how is the box connected to the net? [06:35] seamus7: well earlier today somebody broke into my network (then unsecured) and called me on SIP. [06:35] maybe there is a svn I can get a reliable new version of the viewer... [06:35] their SIP address: [06:35] wifi or wired? [06:35] ubuntu@192.168.x.x [06:35] RabidWeezle: is the server listed in your /etc/hosts? [06:35] RabidWeezle: next question, how is the box connected to the net? [06:36] wired to wireless [06:36] MrSkittle: have tried the blocking MAC addresses idea? [06:36] They called me and breathed into the mic, and made strange noises [06:36] RabidWeezle: and the xbox? [06:36] seamus7: you can easily change a MAC address [06:36] they are all connected to a hub [06:36] wait, stupid question, [06:36] I can ftp to it, and all that business [06:36] But I should go to bed now [06:37] MrSkittle: i doubt your neighbor is gonna do MAC spoofing to get in your network [06:37] g'night [06:37] kindofabuzz: Maybe they're determined to annoy people... [06:37] Anyway, I'm off to bed [06:37] g'night [06:37] MrSkittle: I've kinda remember reading that once ... changing MAC addresses .. hmmm sorry that's a bummer [06:38] if they can mac spoof, they know how to get into WEP also [06:38] that's an easy fix, setup your router to ban all mac's except yours [06:38] i'm sure [06:38] kindofabuzz true [06:38] wep is easy to crack [06:38] :/ [06:38] i think MAC spoofing is probably harder than cracking WEP [06:39] not in windows [06:39] 1 app will do iteasily [06:39] wow [06:39] i wanna leant how to get into my neighbors, my router ses him but my box's card doesn't [06:40] not asking for info here, just saying [06:40] =) [06:40] RabidWeezle: fun, well there isnt any conf file for the viewer [06:40] then it sounds like your neighbor's in yours. [06:40] and it's totally open [06:40] no he's not, MAC'd out [06:40] I've seen some routers that only stop DHCP from working with MAC addresses that are filtered out. All you have to do is connect with a static IP and you're in lol [06:41] :( [06:41] hrlr: i bet those companies didn't last long lol [06:42] RabidWeezle: all i can say is pop in the live cd and try it on that, if it works, its your viewer install, if not, network issues [06:42] dd-wrt ftw! [06:42] dd-wrt is pretty good... [06:42] RabidWeezle: could be a firewall issue though, you have firestarter? [06:42] might be? [06:42] what is dd-wrt? [06:43] on this I don't, lemme see [06:43] damo22: firmware for routers, open source [06:43] kindofabuzz: ok cool [06:43] turn a %60 router into a $600 router [06:43] RabidWeezle: then the live cd is the test [06:43] feature wise [06:44] * RabidWeezle loads up firestarter [06:44] kindofabuzz: or a brick. depending how your flashing goes. :) [06:44] hrlr: hehe yeah [06:44] hi. i need help. i think i destroyed a luks/dm-crypt-partition with ubuntu 7.10 installer [06:44] i got lucky my first time doing it [06:44] haveint touched it since [06:44] dd-wrt is win [06:45] well no i did do one rc update [06:45] right now i have my router overclocked to the fullest [06:45] is someone able to help me? [06:45] RabidWeezle: with firstarter running, connect the viewer and look for the icon to turn red [06:45] i can't oc mine, just a linksys wrt54gs [06:45] which has given me no noticable improvments [06:45] save a hotter router [06:45] lol [06:45] k [06:45] mine only handles the mini firmware [06:45] Ubuntu (and probably Debian) offers three services: mysql, mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm. What does 'ndb' and 'mgm' stand for? [06:45] RabidWeezle: if it turns red, it is blocking the request [06:46] it's not blocking [06:46] :/ [06:46] kindofabuss: I have standard loaded. Runs like a dream. [06:46] hi - i am trying to enable a direct rendering in glxinfo (direct rendering: yes) [06:46] kindofabuzz: what will the open source router firmware allow you to do? [06:46] i think i got the v24 rc6, running very stable [06:47] RabidWeezle: well then, live cd it is [06:47] if i run: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" i get: direct rendering: no [06:47] seamus7: alot of the stuff from dd-wrt i don't really need, but it basically turns a home router into a business class router? [06:47] i tried to set it up using the partition tool from textmode installer (alternate cd) and was asked for a passphrase twice(!). i think the installer then called luksformat and destroyed the luks-partjtion by creating a new encryption key [06:47] mainly i just put dd-wrt in just to boost the Tx power [06:48] santai aja ce [06:48] [A[A[B[B[B[A[A[B/quit [06:48] and now i just wanna know if all my data is lost === windo_ is now known as cinta [06:49] Kindofabuzz: what is the advatage of turning it into business class router.. [06:49] is someone here familiar with Ubuntu and DD-WRT using a jtag to reset the NVRAM? [06:49] http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [06:49] seria-mau: yes [06:49] belkinhelp2: mine can't do the whole jtag thing =( [06:49] lol....turning a business class router...thats exactly what im trying to do [06:50] davenull, can you elaborate? [06:50] kindofabuzz....do you have extensive jtag knowledge? Im wondering why the Dairymaid program cant automatically detect the flash chip [06:50] belkinhelp2: no man sorry i don't, haven't had the chance to learn that yet [06:50] seria-mau: if the partition is re keyed, it has to format it first, youll have to try to pray to all of the gods on this one [06:51] kindofabuzz....ive been at it for a bout a week now with help from someone with a bit of soldering experience [06:51] we just got it up and running late last night [06:51] belkinhelp2: cool, gl with that [06:51] thanks [06:51] anybody familiar with glxinfo settings? [06:51] davenull, damn. looks to me like the data is lost [06:52] seria-mau: most likely, sorry to hear it. backup is the word of the day [06:54] davenull, yeah :/ sad thing: no backup, 180gb data i hadnt room elsewhere to backup [06:54] goob: what kind of video card do you have?

[08:18] tw2113: , no this is ubuntu support [08:18] fedora? lol [08:18] tw2113 [08:20] geirha / ikonia when i go to the 'computer' thingie when i gksu nautilus, theres nothing there but the main filesystem, no other media shows up [08:21] why was i banned? [08:21] I guess nautilus only sees the media when its ran by the user [08:21] i will leave just wana know why === Svenstaro__ is now known as Svenstaro [08:22] We are using Anjuta for a trivial Makefile based project, but the Build/Execute does nothing? Why? [08:22] was cuz i used the F word? or cuz i left with a negative attitude? [08:23] crackerjackz_, You'll need to ask in #ubuntu-ops about bans [08:23] Lymies, you just have to know where everything is mounted, usually under /media [08:23] type /join #ubuntu-ops ? [08:23] yes [08:23] thanks [08:27] lol [08:27] jari [08:27] Ok what is the standard set of mount options? [08:28] hey, if i removed my two hdd's running a xp/linux dual boot and put another drive in as master to install some form of ubuntu on my dual boot would be ok when i switched back right? [08:29] test [08:29] work? [08:29] anyone here use thunderbird and enigmail? === student106 is now known as gorilla [08:30] student_x_: yes, we can see [08:30] Can anyone supply me with a standard set of mount options? [08:30] hey, if i removed my two hdd's running a xp/linux dual boot and put another drive in as master to install some form of ubuntu on my dual boot would be ok when i switched back right? [08:31] Lymies: there is no standard set, yo what do you want to mount [08:31] i wonder if it's possible to put ipcop on ubuntu server? [08:31] Lymies: drives are usually mounted under /media or /mnt [08:31] Its a USB external HD [08:31] Breakage: how do you plan to switch back [08:31] Lymies: ok, so mount /dev/$disk /$mnt/$point [08:31] ikonia: by setting up the hdd's as it was before and removing new master ubuntu hdd. [08:32] they* [08:32] Where is the archive of this channel? [08:32] whenever I try to use thunderbird and enigmail, I get this error: http://pastebin.com/d61c22ac4 [08:32] ikonia, im trying to do it with nautilus and im putting it under the setting of the volume [08:32] would anyone know why I get that error? [08:32] Breakage: that should be fine as you're taking the hard disks out, so nothing can change them [08:32] or how I can fix it? [08:32] ikonia: ok thanks :) [08:32] Lymies: don't put any mount options [08:32] ok, thank you [08:33] can anyone read me? [08:33] latt: sure [08:34] anyone know what could be the problem/solution? [08:34] latt: start by checking through gpg, do someone test encyption/unencyption === icesword is now known as inokia [08:35] ok so i think ive fucked something up because when i try to mount the drive it gives me an error saying 'mountpoint cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPERATOR (usually /)' [08:35] May I switch off the Ubuntu service (database service) 'mysql-ndb'? Wikipedia: "MySQL Cluster is implemented through an additional storage engine available within MySQL called NDB or NDBCLUSTER ("NDB" stands for Network Database)." and "MySQL Cluster is a technology which provides shared-nothing clustering capabilities for the MySQL database management system." [08:35] Lymies, language [08:35] excuse me [08:35] gpg works in the console [08:35] bullgard4: what are you talking about [08:35] I don't know why it wouldn't work in thunderbird [08:35] thunderbird's not even prompting me for a password [08:36] Lymies, can you paste the command youre trying? [08:36] latt: thats because the agent isn't working [08:36] ikonia: I am talking about what I wrote. [08:36] Svenstaro, im using nautilus [08:36] do I need to configure the agent? [08:36] Lymies, that is bad, what exactly are you trying to make it pop the error? [08:36] if i offended any one in here earlier im sorry [08:36] bullgard4: yes, but it doesnt make sense [08:37] latt: it's saying there is a problem using the agent [08:37] Svenstaro, just trying to mount the drive [08:37] ikonia: Please elaborate. [08:37] well, I'll try logging out then in [08:37] see if that works [08:37] Lymies, hardyß [08:37] bullgard4: the problem your describing doesn't make sense [08:37] it looks like the agent is started when I log in? [08:37] Svenstaro, the thing that i did before that was happening was i changed the permissions of the folder that it was mounting the drive to, so that it was no longer root owned [08:38] Lymies, fair enough, does that folder have enough permissions so you make do operations on it without root? [08:38] Svenstaro, but then when i unmounted the drive the folder got deleted [08:38] Lymies: try: sudo mkdir /mnt/test && mount /dev/sd?? /mnt/test (replace the ?? with your device) [08:38] Lymies: you can only access teh drive while it's mounted [08:38] Lymies: however the mountpoint will remain [08:38] manis [08:38] ikonia: It must be your sense which cannot make it out. I have already got a response that found my question intelligible. [08:38] Greetings Svenstaro [08:39] :) [08:39] ohh heh DistroJockey [08:39] bullgard4: your asking may you shut down a database service ? [08:40] ikonia: yes. [08:40] DistroJockey, that works but i want this to happen automatically every time it boots up [08:41] which database though as your asking to shut down teh service, which databases it runs will depend on how it effects the system, you'v enot said what databases you are running [08:41] hiya, does anyone know if FBreader has bookmarking support? [08:41] Lymies, the fstab is your friend, see if you can convert DistroJockey's command to conform with fstab syntax [08:41] :) [08:41] I'm trying to find a nice program to read books with [08:41] (something like Ybook reader would be nice) [08:41] hey people. Anyone knows if it is possible to turn of focus stealing prevention in metacity? [08:42] svenstaro: update tghe rc levels for that [08:42] Svenstaro, what should I use for the mount options in fstab? [08:43] mitchell, why do that? we want to mount something automatically, we'll use fstab to do so [08:43] Svenstaro: ohh sorry I didn't catch the argument from the beggining [08:43] Lymies: something like this maybe: /media/sda2 ext3 defaults 0 2 [08:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604092 [08:43] I had to install another package [08:44] works perfectly now :) [08:44] DistroJockey, you fogot the mountpoint [08:44] ikonia: Please read more carefully. I mentioned the database: It is mysql. [08:44] you can also use the mount option this will automatically write in the fstab file [08:44] Svenstaro: yes, because I have UID's in mine and don't know the sytax ;P [08:44] :P [08:45] but yeah youre right, using static names and running udev sucks :( [08:45] w00t [08:45] Svenstaro: and options were asked for :) [08:45] everything works, thank you guys [08:45] Lymies: sweet, np :) [08:45] DistroJockey, why are you putting 2 in the pass column? [08:46] DistroJockeys probably you need something like this UUID=0E6CF3E86CF3C88B /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 [08:46] Lymies: that's what I had by default [08:46] Is it needed? [08:46] bullgard4: thats not a database [08:46] eg... [08:46] # /dev/sda2 [08:46] UUID=30a30af0-a2ce-4321-94f0-cb19255cd295 /media/sda2 ext3 defaults 0 2 [08:46] # /dev/sda5 [08:46] UUID=8961167b-3a95-419b-b68a-35fb7a05b20a /media/sda5 ext3 defaults 0 2 [08:46] DistroJockey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:46] sorry for the spam [08:46] :( [08:46] bullgard4: the databases are that mysql is hosting [08:46] haha [08:47] got to go [08:47] bye for now [08:47] bullgard4: so don't tell me to "read more carefully" [08:47] damo22: i booted just fine! [08:47] awesome [08:47] How do you find the UUID of a disk? [08:47] Lymies: blkid [08:48] damo22: it's been a pleasure, thank you for your help! [08:48] HinHin, I don't of a linux/ubuntu ebook reader, but according to winehq, you can run ybook reader under wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4915 although its an old test review [08:48] Lymies: UUID's can can though if you change the partition table [08:48] archman: np [08:48] damo22: btw: so swap cannot be resized? [08:48] dgjones, ah yea i've had problems using ybook reader under wine [08:48] for some strange reason :\ [08:48] Lymies: can change^ [08:48] archman: it can but youd need to rearrange your partitions [08:48] i get a black screen... [08:49] Oh well thanks anyway dgjones ;) [08:49] DistroJockey, i didnt mess with the partition table, its just one solid partition. [08:49] damo22: ok, it's good now, np [08:49] damo22: bye [08:49] archman: for example, split sda1 into 2 extended partitions [08:49] bye guys [08:49] hey [08:49] ikonia: Wikipedia: "MySQL (pronounced /maɪˌɛskjuːˈɛl/) is a multithreaded, multi-user SQL database management system." [08:49] is there vnc program? [08:49] Lymies: should be fine, but if you change it later, the UUID may change [08:49] ikonia, thanks for pointing me in the right direction [08:49] I got it working now [08:49] i control my gf's computer using tightVNC in windowsXP [08:50] now i am in ubuntu how do i control her computer? [08:50] latt: well done [08:50] Hi, I'm trying to install "pidgin-otr-3.1.0" but at "./configure" it gives errors "No package 'pidgin' found & No package 'purple' found" . However, i do have Pidgin installed in perhaps "/opt" directory. How do I make it to recognize the installation? [08:50] is there any VNC viewer in ubuntu? [08:50] bullgard4: correct - so it's not a database [08:50] kelvin911: keep using vnc [08:50] So if its in /etc/fstab, it will be mounted at boot? [08:50] where in ubuntu is kdm config? [08:50] how? [08:50] Lymies, yes [08:50] And what happens if the drive isn't there? [08:50] bullgard4: hence why I'm telling you that shutting down the mysql service may cause you issues if it's hosting a database that something wants [08:50] Lymies, then it doesnt get mounted [08:50] kelvin911: applications > internet > terminal server client [08:50] Because its an external HD and I may forget to turn it on. [08:50] But it doesn't cause any real problems? [08:51] Lymies, no [08:51] kelvin, vinagre for vnc, I preferr ssh to control a remote computer though [08:51] kelvin911: vncviewer [08:51] can it connect to tightVNC server? [08:51] Svenstaro, thank you ery much =] [08:51] kelvin911: yes. [08:51] hey all, does anyone knows some sort of ventrilo open source alternative where it is possible to connect on with a ventrilo client? [08:51] no i dont want command line control [08:51] i want to control the screen too [08:51] kelvin, then use vinagre [08:51] just like tightVNC [08:51] ikonia: Tautology. [08:51] bullgard4: pardon ? [08:51] Lymies, np, if you forget to turn it on and want to mount it afterwards, run "sudo mount -a" [08:52] kelvin911: use the terminal server client. it's plain old common graphical VNC [08:52] can terminal server client work like tightVNC? [08:52] kelvin911: terminal server client IS a TightVNC client!!! [08:52] ok [08:52] bullgard4: why are you arguing this with me ???? I'm trying to offer you advise that will stop you having problems ???? you've had a history of not asking questions clearly I was just asking you to clarify what your asking === benplaut_ is now known as benplaut [08:54] does anyone knows some sort of ventrilo open source alternative where it is possible to connect on with a ventrilo client? [08:54] Anubis_be, there is non, you need to use ventrilo [08:54] Svenstaro damn, so I am limited to 8 connections :( [08:55] Anubis_be, tried teamspeak? [08:55] is the quality good now? [08:55] Anubis_be sadly not [08:56] Anubis_be: the details of how to connect to a ventrilo server is secret, so it would be very hard to make an alternative client. i can recommend mumble, excellent quality [08:56] magnetron, mumble keeps segfaulting for me :( [08:56] mmm think I will go mumble then, [08:56] hi, how can i figure out when the system started? [08:56] Anubis_be, if mumble works, its absolutely great [08:56] arnab, be more specifiv [08:57] hi, how can i figure out the time when linux was booted? [08:57] arnab: uptime [08:57] for the current session?

[09:00] is there a way to fix it? [09:00] hey could someone help me?, ive been expierenced velocitu problems with compizz fussion but its reallyyy slow, how can i install it so its on a normal velocity [09:00] is there anything that i can do on the server to keep it alive? [09:01] kelvin911: yes, just set VNC to a higher color bit depth before you connect [09:01] oo is crashing with a "Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ..." - what's the fix for that? [09:02] arnab: what kind of network link are you connecting through? WLAN? === LappyJay is now known as Jaymac === inokia is now known as nokiababy [09:03] magnetron: i am connecting through internet from work using Putty, my server is behind a router which forwards the port [09:03] color still screw up [09:04] no matter i choose 16 bit or 32 bit [09:04] kelvin911: did you make sure to set the color on the client side?

[09:16] in fact on one partition [09:16] kelvin911: tightvnc in winxp, and you're trying to connect from ubuntu? [09:16] yes [09:16] someone just said i can here 5 min ago [09:17] kelvin911: connection timeouts may be caused by a firewall [09:17] not sure if i've tried vnc on windows before [09:17] but i can connect her in windows XP with tightVNC viewer [09:17] nucc2: it's not connection timeouts, ti's the color: http://i30.tinypic.com/34pf5gp.jpg [09:17] kelvin911: for colours, i think the connecting client usually has options, and sometimes its auto-selected based on network performance [09:18] but now i cant even connect her with terminal server client [09:18] kelvin911: why not? what happened? [09:18] nothing happen when i click connect [09:22] kelvin911: to be certain, temporarily disable any firewall you may have on the winxp box [09:22] i have problem with enabling eth0 on ubuntu 7.10 jeos.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:23] hi [09:23] thank you [09:23] so any idea??? [09:23] is there any alternative? [09:23] hello friends [09:23] how can i make ubuntu run faster??? [09:23] or is there tightVNC for ubuntu? [09:23] kelvin911: there's a program called gnome-rdp [09:23] akatsuki: what do you mean? [09:23] akatsuki: what are your system specs? ram cpu etc [09:23] kelvin911: it supports RDP, which is windows XP's native remote desktop protocol. [09:23] whats that how to get gnome-rdp [09:23] odder: run faster.. i mean start faster and turn off f [09:23] faster [09:24] 1 gb ram [09:24] how does it work? [09:24] and turion amd cpu [09:24] kelvin911: look in synaptic package manager for a program called "gnome-rdp" [09:24] kelvin911: you already have it. in terminal server client, choose "RDP" for protocol [09:24] magnetron: gnome-rdp provides a nice GUI [09:24] then what does the other side have to do so i can connect? [09:25] akatsuki: there's a tutorial on our ubuntuforums, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 [09:25] my gf completely dont know how to use computer [09:25] kelvin911: i think you have to enable remote desktop in winxp, then from ubuntu, use gnome-rdp. its a GUI [09:25] kelvin911: also, on the XP machine, you need to enable "Remote Desktop" [09:25] ok then what she has to do? [09:25] kelvin911: it only works in Win XP Pro [09:25] just give me the IP and i connect thats it? [09:25] yeah [09:26] i think she has XP media edition [09:26] too bad [09:26] thank you ooder [09:26] joost_op SAY HI TO EVERYONE [09:26] i try windows remote control b4 [09:26] is there a vnc server for windows? [09:26] connection keeps dropping [09:27] kelvin911: what do you mean by connecion keeps dropping? [09:27] disconnect [09:27] akatsuki: and if that won't work for you, there's another one: http://its-about-amoena.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-to-start-faster.html [09:27] kelvin911: with an error message? what's it? [09:27] http://i29.tinypic.com/2a98vav.png nucc2 [09:28] patience, slow link here :) [09:28] nucc2: he posted it 5 minutes ago [09:30] can anyone tell me the code for installing art manager? [09:30] kelvin911: what program are you using for connecting? i think the issue with colours can be fixed with an option to the client [09:30] linuxjuicer: use synaptic [09:30] i use the terminal server client in ubuntu [09:30] linuxjuicer: or, sudo apt-get install package_name [09:31] i choose 16bits or even 24bits no help [09:31] nucc2: yeah but what is the package name... i cant find it in synaptic [09:31] nucc2: he's using terminal server client. it's a frontend for xvncviewer . he changed the setting to 16bit and 24bit, without result [09:31] kelvin911: check the tightvnc configuration on windows. [09:32] what to check? [09:32] kelvin911: are you behind a router? [09:32] last time i connect in windowsXP is fine [09:32] linuxjuicer: gnome-art [09:32] no i am not behind a router [09:32] nucc2: thanx [09:32] is terminal server part of a default install, can't find it on my system [09:33] nucc2: applications > internet > terminal server client [09:33] terminal server client [09:34] magnetron: ok. and he's specifiying the protocol as VNC? while trying to connect to windows? [09:34] yes [09:34] i choose VNC [09:34] because i tell her to run tightVNC server on her side [09:35] if the server doesn't have any specific config issues, then the only culprit is network performance. [09:35] ok [09:35] so the client in ubuntu will automatically adjust? [09:35] is there a way to get tightVNC in ubuntu? [09:35] well holy crap, I'm running the hardy heron beta live cd and my cpu doesn't shut off, OH and I can get to the desktop now! [09:36] cpu fan* [09:36] i don't think so, kelvin911, the client in ubuntu do NOT lower the color setting [09:36] kelvin911: usually tightvnc has a tendency to adjust. unfortunately i haven't got an xp machine around atm [09:36] I am having a very annoying my laptop, i cant adjust the lcd brightness its stuck [09:36] kelvin911: you could try another VNC server. RealVNC perhaps? [09:37] but it works fine in windowsXP [09:37] ok [09:37] May I switch off the Ubuntu service (database service) 'mysql-ndb'? Wikipedia: "MySQL Cluster is implemented through an additional storage engine available within MySQL called NDB or NDBCLUSTER ("NDB" stands for Network Database)." and "MySQL Cluster is a technology which provides shared-nothing clustering capabilities for the MySQL database management system." [09:37] which VNC is the best? [09:37] tightVNC, RealVNC, UltraVNC, ?? [09:37] real [09:37] :P [09:37] i use real anyway [09:37] are you using it between xp and ubuntu? [09:37] imon [09:37] kelvin911: i prefer tightvnc ironically, it makes more efficient use of network bandwidth in my experience [09:37] same shit :P [09:37] kelvin911: play with them, and find out which you like [09:38] oops [09:38] wrong keyboard [09:38] !ohmy | DOOM_NX [09:38] DOOM_NX: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:38] between XP and Ubuntu i use RealVNC on ubuntu side and UltraVNC 1-click on XP side [09:38] sorry ubotu [09:39] :) [09:39] Hey I need some help with adept updater. [09:40] Nevermind. it's working. [09:40] zeke: adept is kubuntu, probably best to ask in #kubuntu [09:40] Then may I ask about javac. How do I set it up so it uses the latest javac? [09:40] my lcd brightness s stuck and suggestions [09:41] haha [09:41] too hungry [09:43] jaffarkelshac: what system model? [09:44] mcc2 my laptop is fu-si amilo li 1705 [09:44] ncc2 my laptop is fu-si amilo li 1705 [09:45] had to edit my xorg.conf to get the screen to 1200x800 [09:45] jaffarkelshac: :) you can use tab completion. does it use the "fn+ some_key" to set brightness? [09:46] nucc2, yeah [09:46] jaffarkelshac: you can use tab completion to spell people's names. [09:46] nucc2, oh yeah. fn+f2 [09:47] hi everyone [09:47] jaffarkelshac: do the volume keys work? [09:47] anyone good with NFS mount options? [09:47] otherwise, asalaam aleykum! [09:47] nucc2, all of them work except for the brightness buttons [09:47] Mzalendo: just speak on... :) [09:48] nucc2: thanks... i have 3 main questions, 1 is a very small problem, but potentially hazardous... [09:49] jaffarkelshac: i woulda thought it was a wrong keyboard layout, but now i'm not certain [09:49] nucc2: i have a process that has halted, and there is no way to stop it from the desktop... how do i use the terminal to stop it? [09:49] Mzalendo: is your desktop frozen? === benplaut_ is now known as benplaut [09:49] i have problem with enabling eth0 on ubuntu 7.10 jeos. I already edited the vmx file to ethernet address static but wont help [09:50] i guess other than the color screw up i can stand it [09:50] nucc2: no... just one application... specifically, Limewire... [09:50] nucc2, i did edit my xorg.conf to 1200x800 i am reverting to the default to check if it fixes it [09:50] hey guys can anyone help me out with SSH ? [09:50] Piet44: what's vmx? usually its /etc/network/interfaces you edit [09:50] i have a NFS share mounted to this client. when the server is down i cannot open nautilus at all. anyone got a solution? [09:50] jaffarkelshac: that won't cause the trouble [09:50] other than unmounting it [09:51] jaffarkelshac: you may run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" if you are not a complete newbie. may fix it. [09:51] nucc2, well it will just make my res back to normal. [09:51] Mzalendo: use system monitor and look for a process with a suitable name, and kill it. [09:51] nucc2: i mean the main ubuntu.vmx file what should i have to edit in the interfaces file [09:52] nucc2: am still a newbie on Ubuntu... where do i find the system monitor? [09:52] hey is servU a trojan virus? [09:52] Piet44: you normally don't even need to edit that file. use the gui network configuratio tool [09:52] someone's anti-virus detected servU as trojan virus [09:52] nucc2: found it... thanks [09:52] Hi. i have problems with Setting my screen resolution.. It is now 800x600, but it needs to be 1024 x768. But, when i open the Screens & Graphics, 1024x768 isn't in that list, but 1400x1050 is. [09:52] Mzalendo: add an applet to the panel. [09:52] then click on it. [09:52] Piet44: system > administration > network [09:53] I have installed and started OpenSSH on a custom port, but when I try to connect locally via putty I get connection refused. Aside from installing, setting a port, and starting ssh, are there any other steps to allow ssh connections? [09:53] nucc2: found system monitor, found limewire, stopped the process, but limewire is still on the desktop, but halted [09:53] hello ppl, sudo getlibs -32 libXext.so.6 [09:53] Smegzor: i don't think you can connect to localhost... [09:53] getlibs command not found ? [09:54] Hi. i have problems with Setting my screen resolution.. It is now 800x600, but it needs to be 1024 x768. But, when i open the Screens & Graphics, 1024x768 isn't in that list, but 1400x1050 is. (sorry for re-asking.. but i really need it) [09:54] i have a NFS share mounted to this client. when the server is down i cannot open nautilus at all. anyone got a solution? [09:54] K-4U: was it ok before? [09:55] kindofabuzz: set nfs timeout lower or unmount the file system before you take the NFS server down [09:55] nucc2: Yes, it was... When i started my box this morning, the resolution just changed... [09:55] kindofabuzz: thats one of the pains of NFS [09:55] is there FTP server for ubuntu? [09:55] kelvin911: many [09:55] Mzalendo: use "end process" if "kill process" isn't working. Also, i think limewire doesn't play too nice with ubuntu 7.10. [09:55] kelvin911: use synaptic to search [09:55] which one is best? [09:55] kelvin911: sudo apt-get install filezilla-server [09:55] is filezilla server good? [09:55] K-4U: probably using the wrong drivers. [09:55] nucc2: the process doesnt show as being active on system monitor... [09:55] i try in winxp, its kinda not great [09:55] kelvin911: thats jubjective, try them and se which one suits your needs [09:55] ikonia: i have no timeout specified [09:55] ncc2 i am about to restart, do you know why it takes soo long to connect to chat.freenode.net [09:55] nucc2: it's an compaq server... [09:55] kelvin911: I'm fan of vsftp [09:56] kindofabuzz: maybe worth seting one [09:56] i dont wanna try them dont have time [09:56] K-4U: I was able to do it before I reinstalled Ubuntu, but I've had to reinstall ssh and something's missing. [09:56] ikonia: just set to 0? [09:56] kelvin911: Then i'd go fot filezilla, not much setting up required [09:56] nucc2: it could be something to do with the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 driver i installed yesterday... it is restricted and not supported in Ubuntu [09:56] kelvin911: thats not going to give you time to get an opinion then, just pick one and run with it [09:56] kindofabuzz: try 30 something like that [09:56] jaffarkelshac: your network connection isn't so good, that's why. [09:56] Smegzor: hmm, i never could do it... weird.. can you connect from another box? [09:57] ikonia: timeo=30 in fstab? [09:57] K-4U: what is ur graphics card? have u checked ur xorg.conf file? [09:57] should i use add/remove or synaptic? [09:57] kindofabuzz: ahhh no, you need it in the NFS cient and/or server settings [09:57] kelvin911: just use one that has a GUI, and enables you accomplish what you want. its the quickest way [09:57] kindofabuzz: I don't have them to hand [09:57] kelvin911: open synaptic and search for ftp [09:57] Mzalendo: If i choose the 1400x1050 reso, it changes the resolution, but i need to scroll across the screen [09:57] nucc2: what is a better alternative to limewire? [09:57] ikonia:oh ok, so basically nothing i can do until server is up or i reboot the client? [09:57] Mzalendo: don't quite understand you on the GeForce... [09:58] g on what the default time out is, it's normally quite high [09:58] Mzalendo: not exactly an alternative, but bittorrent allows you to accomplish essentially the same thing. ever heard of tpb? [09:58] Mzalendo: It's nothing big.. From an Compaq Server, Proliant ML310 Onboard [09:58] is gFTP a client or server? [09:58] kindofabuzz: you can try to force an unmount from the shell [09:58] kelvin911: client [09:58] kelvin911: the descrption should tell you [09:58] nucc2: i know deluge... [09:58] ikonia: umount -f i'm guessing? [09:58] K-4U: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:58] kindofabuzz: you got it [09:59] Smegzor: Why would you actually want to connect with putty trough your local pc, just use terminal [09:59] nucc2: my graphics card in NVIDIA GeForce 6800.... its drivers are restricted and not supported by Ubuntu, however they work [09:59] K-4U: but you gotta make sure you chose the right options, usually defaults are fine, except resolution, cos you're sure of what it should be. [09:59] I don't but thats how I test that its working [09:59] nucc2: okay, let's try [09:59] K-4U: and what is the graphics card? [09:59] Mzalendo: then you don't have any problems. [10:00] Mzalendo, it's an onboard thingie... don't know the chipset [10:00] Mzalendo: limewire doesn't play nice cos its closed-source, and probably not written properly [10:00] nucc2: well, yea, but Limewire wont stop... how do i kill it from the Terminal? [10:00] Mzalendo: first type 'top' [10:00] Mzalendo: you used system monitor, and used "end process" and it still won't stop? [10:00] ikonia: would it be sudo umount -f ? [10:00] should be a java process [10:00] !frostwire | nucc2 [10:00] nucc2: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [10:00] is filezilla server a gui base software? [10:00] Mzalendo: Find the id of limewire, then type 'xkill ' [10:00] yes [10:00] or command prompt?> [10:00] kindofabuzz: yup [10:01] kelvin911: gui based, there is an control panel [10:01] erUSUL: that should be for Mzalendo [10:01] exactly like the on in xp? [10:01] ikonia: that doesn't work, it's looking for my server [10:01] kelvin911: Yes, thought so [10:01] kindofabuzz: thats to be expected, I said "try it" [10:01] E: Couldn't find package filezilla-server [10:01] kindofabuzz: you can try removing your server from the mtab file [10:02] kindofabuzz: but thats dirty [10:02] i cant find the id from system monitor, as it is not there... [10:02] ikonia: yeah, yeah i was just reporting the results for referance =) [10:02] kelvin911: if you simply want to share files, i think Samba is ok, next ssh if its ubuntu-to-ubuntu [10:02] sudo apt-get install filezilla-server doesnt work [10:02] erUSUL: hi... what did u say? i didnt see... please retype [10:02] no biggie, i'll just reboot [10:02] what? [10:02] kelvin911: what does it say [10:02] samba? [10:02] kelvin911: no - what does the apt-get error say [10:02] kelvin911: samba allows ubuntu to share files with windows systems. [10:03] i need to setup FTP server so my gf and her sister can download file from me [10:03] they dont know how to use computer [10:03] kelvin911: then a webserver may be better than ftp [10:03] kelvin911 there is no filezilla server in reps [10:03] kelvin911: then you should use samba if your gf is using windows. much simpler than ftp. [10:03] just filezilla and filezilla-common [10:03] the error is E: Couldn't find package filezilla-server [10:03] kelvin911: that package doesn't exist [10:03] hello.. any sftp server you can recommend?

[10:04] rhineheart_m: yes [10:04] hi all. i have a problem with my wirelesscard. when i start my computer it says that there is no wireless card. The thing is that on xp my wireless worked properly and i couldn't remove my wireless because it's a notebook. How to solve? [10:04] jason@bonghits:~/Desktop$ apt-cache search filezilla [10:04] kelvin911: just install samba from synaptic, then right-click the folder you want to share, and select share. the windows people can find it in network places.

[10:04] R0nr0n: [esc] :wq [10:04] she is not here [10:05] she is in other country [10:05] rhineheart_m: ssh server with scp will be a solid option for you [10:05] we are not in lan [10:05] kelvin911: either pick an ftp server, or use a webserver [10:05] K-4U: u know what graphics card you got? [10:05] R0nr0n: i suggest nano, alot easier [10:05] nucc2: Ati Rage [10:05] *XL [10:05] thats why i need VNC to fix her problem and stuffs [10:05] K-4U: the driver should be "ati" [10:05] nucc2: yes, had that [10:05] kelvin911: that means your earlier issues with colour were network performance. [10:05] K-4U: how do i find the process id when system monitor doesnt find the process? [10:05] and i want to send her movies [10:06] Boohbah : thanx [10:06] i have servU installed on her side b4 [10:06] Mzalendo: you could try 'top' but if system monitor doesn't find it, i don't think 'top' wil find it [10:06] kelvin911: a webserver will be the easy way to share stuff to her, or as you've said, use an ftp user [10:06] can ssh server handle and transfers files? [10:06] how about nano [10:06] server [10:06] but today her virus scan pick up as virus [10:06] Mzalendo: ps -e [10:06] nucc2: I dont have a graphical interface becouse i have the server version [10:06] rhineheart_m: yes, it can [10:06] K-4U: you can try manually editing xorg.conf and putting the correct resolution. i normally stay clear of that screens and graphics tool. seems to be erratic [10:07] DistroJockey: hi... in Terminal? [10:07] Mzalendo: yep [10:07] cant find filezilla server in synaptic [10:07] like putty?

[10:07] howcome Terminal doesn't have color? like dir and file colors? [10:07] lol [10:07] kelvin911: synaptic to search and install an ftp server [10:07] <[nrx]> Hi folks. I've recently upgraded my box with apt-get upgrade and my sound no longer works. Anyone fancy lending me a hand? :) [10:08] i search ftp server nothing come up [10:08] kindofabuzz: try 'ls' in stead of 'dir' [10:08] hello.. can ssh server be an ftp? [10:08] kindofabuzz: not a login shell so your .login stuff doesn't get setup [10:08] Piet44: pls remind me what we were talking about... [10:08] kelvin911: I told you to search for ftp [10:08] Mzalendo: so you can't see limewire in ps -e ? [10:08] kelvin911: not ftp server [10:08] oh yeah it does, i don't know what i was thinking [10:08] rhineheart_m: yes, i told you.. [10:08] K-4U: I fixed my ssh and I can now ssh into my localhost :D I just had to delete my keys and allow ssh to recreate them. [10:08] my bad it did come up [10:08] DistroJockey: yes... but it is there on my desktop... frozen solid!

[10:08] kelvin911: so pick one [10:08] K-4U, how about putty? [10:09] does a .so file equal a windows .exe file? [10:09] kelvin911: thats YOUR choice, either try some or pick one at random [10:09] <_ruben> .so is more like .dll [10:09] rhineheart_m: putty won't.. you could try winscp [10:09] Mzalendo: try in terminal: killall limewire (if that's it's name) [10:09] cameo357: no, [10:09] ty === as is now known as Angel-SL [10:09] you don't need putty, you can ssh in term [10:09] then which one is good? any experience user here? [10:09] Mzalendo: might need sudo killall limewire [10:09] kelvin911: I like vsftp [10:09] kelvin911: www.filezilla.org, download and install manually ;) [10:09] kelvin911: but whats good for one is poor for another pick one, try some [10:09] cameo357: linux executables do not usually have a filename extension [10:10] DistroJockey: no process killed [10:10] lol [10:10] Mzalendo: :( [10:10] how to execute d4x in ubuntu i can't find in application-internet after i installed [10:10] K-4U, I have ssh server up.. how to set it up to accept files? [10:10] DistroJockey: btw, my nickname means - literally - A Patriot, in Kiswahili [10:11] K-4U: you can manage using alt+drag to move the window around. do that to the screens and graphics window, then select the correct aspect-ratio and driver for your card [10:11] rhineheart_m: use a client for scp, like putty's pscp [10:11] Mzalendo: nice :) Mine means I use lots of distrobutions ;) [10:11] rhineheart_m: you don't need to set it up to accept files. use nautilus to connect to server, and select ssh as protocol [10:11] is vsftpd gui based? [10:11] kelvin911: no [10:11] or command base? [10:11] ikonia: you good with bash? i have a history problem [10:11] Mzalendo: didtributions even :) [10:11] kelvin911: not gui [10:11] kindofabuzz: ask [10:11] Mzalendo: ohh, forget it ;P [10:11] so how to setup user and stuffs? [10:11] kelvin911: read the docs [10:12] what? [10:12] kelvin911: there is a good man page on it [10:12] K-4U: or if you look in /etc/X11 [10:12] kelvin911: read the docs [10:12] lol [10:12] Mzalendo: can't spell, need another beer [10:12] i want something quick and fast and easy [10:12] DistroJockey: i guess i will have to reboot... this is really strange... a BUG! or a FEATURE? [10:12] K-4U: sorry for the breakage, you may be able to restore a previously working xorg.conf and take it from there [10:12] kelvin911: then pay someone to set it up [10:12] i dont wanna read not even 2 pages manual [10:12] DistroJockey: depends... what time of day is it there where u are? [10:12] ikonia: ok i do a history, then !-344, which should do #344 in list, but it doesn't, it does whatever [10:12] Mzalendo: 8:12pm [10:12] is there anything like servU? [10:13] nucc2, where can I donwload it? [10:13] Mzalendo: :) [10:13] or bulletproof ftp server? [10:13] kindofabuzz: try !344 [10:13] like 344 is just history again [10:13] Mzalendo: on a Friday ;) [10:13] kelvin911: no [10:13] DistroJockey: u in india? [10:13] Mzalendo: reboot, and remove limewire, and try frostwire. limewire is not good on ubuntu [10:13] Mzalendo: Australia [10:13] rhineheart_m: if you're using ubuntu, just click Places > Connect to server [10:13] nucc2: will frostwire recognise the limewire incomplete files and continue with the downloads? [10:13] kindofabuzz: thats odd behaviour [10:13] nucc2: here's something even weirder... when i choose another reso, i click 'TEST', then 'keep configuration' and then it just returns it... [10:14] returns to the old resolution... [10:14] ikonia [10:14] Mzalendo: never used it before :) [10:14] ikonia: yeah that worked =) [10:14] DistroJockey: cool... dar es salaam, tanzania here [10:14] lol [10:14] Mzalendo: yeah, not sure why you can't kill limewire (never used it) [10:14] nucc2, ows.. m using ubuntu server.. m connecting to the box through ssh alone [10:14] i thought it had to have a - [10:14] kindofabuzz: mines a pint of beer ;) [10:14] kindofabuzz: nah, [10:14] nucc2: well, wont hurt to try [10:14] Mzalendo: nice to meet you :) [10:14] DistroJockey: likewise... [10:14] K-4U: nothing new to me, i told you that tool is botched. just focus on gettin ur resolution back, then ditch it. usually a certain combination of actions will work. [10:15] and great to meet all of you here... this is now my number 1 Ubuntu online classroom [10:15] now the directory i want to share is not my harddisk [10:15] rhineheart_m: you are using only command-line? [10:15] nucc2: well, please tell me how to then.. i'm not really that good at ubuntu :$ [10:15] yeah [10:15] it is the USB external one [10:15] is it possible to setup thru vsftpd? [10:15] kelvin911: sure [10:15] ikonia: i wonder what the !- is actaully doing then [10:15] seems random [10:15] kindofabuzz: let me remember [10:15] Mzalendo: umm... [10:15] Question: Is there a Linux professional vector graphics software out there that acts and feels exactly like Adobe Illustrator? (I'll take any version) [10:15] nucc2: I dont have a graphical interface becouse i have the server version, we were talking about the eth0 interface [10:15] or has anyone worked on a port? [10:16] Mzalendo: inkscape [10:16] i installed vsftpd [10:16] Mzalendo: maybe try an X server restart (ctrl-alt-backspace) ? [10:16] K-4U: first set the driver, then the aspect ratio. try applying, then try settin resolution [10:16] waht do i need to do? [10:16] kelvin911: read the docs as I've suggested [10:16] Mzalendo: inkscape or xara [10:16] !repos [10:16] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [10:16] nucc2: where? from out of that tool or somewhere else? [10:16] where is the doc? [10:16] Piet44: you want to setup your network interface to use what IPs? i'll tell you what to put in the file.

[10:36] magnetron, I'm just afraid since it really looks like I got all the access to all files in my server [10:36] kelvin911: I've sent you guides now [10:37] kelvin911: please READ the guides [10:37] i got a LAMP but have yet to figure out a simple apache server lol [10:37] rhineheart_m: why is that a problem? [10:37] the guide? [10:37] where? [10:37] kelvin911: I sent you 4 URLS each with a guide on [10:38] best guie in the world: www.google.com [10:38] guide [10:38] magnetron, no.. any idea how would I secure my server with access by winscp? [10:38] rhineheart_m: scp is controlled by file systems permissions [10:38] ikonia, what do you mean with that? [10:38] rhineheart_m, winscp is a win32 utility right? [10:39] rhineheart_m: yes, but your server is linux [10:39] unop_, yeah [10:39] rhineheart_m: thats what's important [10:39] ikonia, to be using linux? [10:39] rhineheart_m: no, the permissions are controlled on the server file systems, your using linux so thats what's important [10:39] rhineheart_m: it doesn't matter what your client is [10:40] ikonia, like ubuntu.. that guarantees that my box is safe? [10:40] dont understand ur guide [10:40] any gui base? [10:40] kelvin911: what don't you understnad [10:40] kelvin911: no [10:40] kelvin911: and which guide do you not understand [10:40] ikonia, does it mean that filesystems... files being used for the server to run cannot be altered by any client? [10:41] what could be the problem if a ls command hangs on certain dirs? [10:41] rhineheart_m: no, it means if the user your connecting as, has write permission to that directory, then it can write, if it has read onl,y then it can only read [10:41] i have no idea how to set it up [10:42] now..m using the user I set up like administrator.. [10:42] kelvin911: READ the guides I've taken the time to send through to you [10:42] rhineheart_m, do you know what SCP is and what it does? [10:42] is it fine? using that user in accessing the box [10:42] where ? [10:42] unop, h0nestly.. nope.. [10:42] can u send again/ [10:42] idefix: what filesystem? [10:42] kelvin911: in the 4 urls I sent to you [10:43] kelvin911: how can you "not understand the guides" if you don't know the URL's I sent you [10:43] kelvin911: I think your telling me lies and wasting me time and your not reading the guides [10:43] sercure copy (SCP) right? [10:43] rhineheart_m, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol [10:43] i read them but dont really understand [10:43] i need gui base software [10:43] kelvin911: if you read them, why are you asking me for the URLS ? [10:44] rhineheart_m, right, all scp and winscp do in life are copy files across from machine to machine, thats all, how those files behave after being copied is not their business [10:44] i cant believe there is not ftp server in gui for linux [10:45] kelvin911: well dodged teh question [10:45] unop, how about the protocol it is using? can't it be intercepted by others... and by doing so they could then have access to the server? [10:45] I would like to make my root drive RAID1+0. I will have the drive backed up, but I am not sure how to get grub to boot the drive when it is not pure ext3. Googling doesn't appear to be working for me today, does anyone have any advice? [10:45] Kelvin911: I came in on this one late, what are you looking for? [10:46] Benjie: it is pure ext3 [10:46] ftp server [10:46] Benjie: it just boots grub from a meta device [10:46] kelvin911: yes, we know ftp server [10:46] i look for ftpserver with gui [10:46] not completely command line [10:46] kelvin911: how can you tell me you don't understand the guides, yet you keep asking me for the URLS for the guides [10:46] kelvin, why do you want a gui for the server? [10:46] rhineheart_m, scp uses ssh to encrypt any traffic -- traffic can be intercepted but not be deciphered [10:46] ikonia, so how would I be able to boot from a RAID1+0 drive? [10:47] do u understand euclid algorithm? [10:47] it is very basic [10:47] eh? [10:47] what's up Svenstaro ? [10:47] Benjie: you don't grub boots from teh boot sector of a disk, you put a seperate none-raid1 boot partition then put / on your raaid [10:47] heho kindofabuzz [10:47] kelvin911: no, I don't understand it [10:47] kelvin911: but I'm not in a support channel asking abotu it [10:47] unop_, okay.. is there any other means to secure the logins to the ssh server? m using right now password and username [10:47] yes just like i dont understand the guide [10:47] kelvin911: exaplin how you can have "read the guides" I sent you, but not know the URLS for the guides I sent you [10:48] dont understand what the guide is trying to do [10:48] kelvin911: i doubt euclid algorithm is very basic, but following directions and copying and pasting you leanr in kindergarten =) [10:48] rhineheart_m, ssh is secure by design, just make sure you dont use weak passwords [10:48] kelvin911: how can you not understand the guide when you don't have the URL (you keep asking me for the URL) [10:48] kelvin, do you understand the fibonacci number? :P now THAT is basic [10:49] I typed ^\ ty my program and it said core dumped, but where is that core??? [10:49] euclid algorithm is really basic stuff [10:49] ikonia, so /boot will be plain ext3 (fine by me), and / will be RAID10. But what do I put as boot device? It won't be (hd0) any more... will it? [10:49] tthe angle of the dangle is proportionate to the... [10:49] lol [10:49] just like u think setting up everything in command line is easy [10:49] because u r into computer [10:49] i am not [10:49] i never said that [10:49] i am math major [10:49] hey, how do i find out which parition is my swap partions. i want to delete the used ones [10:49] unop_ this pass is already strong right (15letters plus 2 numbers) [10:50] i'm learning too, but i'm sue the guides tell you exactly what to do. copy and paste [10:50] fibonacci yes [10:50] kelvin911, just cool down a bit man, we're trying to HELP you. let's be rational and at least try to understand the CLI, yoo will find it immensely helpful :) [10:50] is there ftp server that is like servU? [10:50] Benjie: /boot will be (hd0,X) and thats where you boot from [10:50] gui base [10:50] kelvin, use the "proftpd admin" tool, it's a gui - http://www.debianadmin.com/images/admin/1.png [10:50] kelvin911, ^^^ [10:50] kelvin911: please show me the guide your using that doesn't make sense and I'll walk you through it [10:51] kelvin911: i thought you wanted filezilla? that's gui [10:51] hi, kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich bei comipz einstelle, dass wenn ich mit der mause in eine ecke gehe zB. alle Fenster aufgelistet werden? [10:51] ups wrong channel, sorry [10:51] !de micsch [10:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about de micsch - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:51] !de | micsch [10:51] micsch: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [10:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91887.html [10:51] how to install filezilla server? [10:51] ikonia, ah, because thats where the kernel and initramfs are? Cool. What do I tell the kernel to boot (root=/dev/md...?). Do I need to re-make the initramfs with any extra modules? (I'm on gutsy.) [10:52] Hi. I've got a gutsy installed next to xp, using a non-default grub. If I use wubi to install the hardy beta for a few days will grub be restored identically to its current state? [10:52] i cant find it in synaptic or add/remove [10:52] Benjie: you got it, root=/dev/md1 [10:52] only the client i found there [10:52] kelvin911: ok, what part of that are you not understanding ? [10:52] i told you 3 times, apt-cache search filezilla [10:52] from the beginning [10:53] kelvin911: you have installed vstpd yes/no ? [10:53] yes [10:53] kelvin911: ok, have you looked at the file /etc/vsftpd.conf as the guide says [10:53] how to setup so my gf can download movie from my external harddisk? [10:53] ikonia, thanks very much, especially for your patience :) [10:53] yes [10:53] Benjie: no problem [10:53] gksudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf [10:53] they are in scrpt or code [10:54] kelvin911: they are not scripts or code - they are plain text config files [10:54] i know [10:54] kelvin911: then why did you say they are script / code ? [10:54] then what should i modify? [10:54] those lines it says to modify [10:54] "what lines" [10:55] dont want anonymous login [10:55] Svenstaro: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91887.html [10:55] what should i change? [10:55] kelvin: stick with windows and vun ubuntu in vmware just until you get used to it [10:55] its a big jump [10:55] kindofabuzz, yeah I kind of knew that, I only tried to guess kelvin's next answer :) [10:55] kelvin, First try yourself ... If you have any doubts we can clarify u .. [10:56] I've got a gutsy installed next to xp, using a non-default grub. If I use wubi to install the hardy beta for a few days will grub be restored identically to its current state? [10:56] kelvin911: is this gonna be a ftp server just on your network or accross the internet? [10:56] buenas alguien sabe q hace el comando AXO? [10:56] someone offer me some help, how do i identify the partiton that is my swap partition. i had 2 installations so there are 2 [10:56] i found that playing et in ubuntu is faster [10:56] no [10:56] i am at home no network here [10:57] tuntun, if i understand wubi right, it makes no changes to partitions, and if thats the case, grub is not affected in a wubi install [10:57] so ftp server to internet users? [10:57] kelvin911, there's a subtle difference between et and vsftpd [10:57] and internet is faster in ubuntu so i decide to run ubuntu instead of xp [10:57] i know [10:57] how to install filezilla server? [10:57] kelvin911, as for installing filezilla, the following works for me: sudo apt-get install filezilla [10:57] * Svenstaro has had enough [10:57] filezilla just a lient [10:58] need server not client [10:58] use sftp - if you are too impatient to setup your ftp server properly you are just inviting trouble anyway [10:58] unop, that's what is said but how would they put a boot menu in without changing the mbr/grub? [10:59] there;s proftpd also [10:59] tuntun, i'm assuming that wubi places an entry in windows's boot.ini [10:59] kelvin, have you seen this yet? http://www.debianadmin.com/images/admin/1.png [10:59] kelvin911, err ^^ [10:59] ok thanks [11:00] hi everybody [11:00] i am looking for a smith chart program diferent from linsmith, any idea? [11:00] do i need to uninstall vsftpd? [11:00] lol i clicked on nautilus to open my home folder over an hour ago and it's just now popping up, it wouldn't open cause my nfs share is down, but for some reason it popped up [11:00] unop, that sounds like a good guess :) [11:00] kelvin911: If you just want to share a file now and then, maybe your ISP gives you a web site? (mine gives me 50MB for free) [11:00] kelvin, if you do decide to go with proftpd and gproftpd, then uninstalling vsftpd would be a good idea [11:01] i need to share movies [11:01] at least like 300MB to 1GB [11:01] for 1 file [11:01] kelvin911, it is in your good interest not to share those publicly [11:01] after upgrade I do have two versions of linux installed it's safe to remove the older one?: linux-image-2.6.15-29-386 and linux-image-2.6.15-51-386 [11:01] there's gftp also, it has a gui [11:02] jatt, yes, if youre booted into the more recent one [11:02] dont wanna share those publically [11:02] kindofabuzz, he wants a gui SERVER [11:02] is gftp a server? [11:02] kelvin911, its not [11:02] i have 2 500 GB external need to setup server so my friends can download [11:02] Svenstaro: thanks, yes booted with 2.6.15-51-386, I will remove linux-image-2.6.15-29-386 then [11:03] kelvin911: I told you earlier gftp is a client only [11:03] CrossFTP Server [11:03] jatt, I like keeping a backup kernel of which I know that it worked [11:03] is there a system restore feature for ubuntu [11:03] Svenstaro: that's a good approach. I use the newer kernel since ages though but I saw that the old packages waste some space on my laptop (which has an small HD). [11:04] jatt, then totally go for it :) [11:04] :) [11:04] ubotu, hello [11:04] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:04] ubotu, system restore [11:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about system restore - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:05] hello.. what's the correct permission to module directory? is it www-data? [11:05] ubotu, lcd brightness [11:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about lcd brightness - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:05] what is inetd or standalone? [11:05] i have a question. if you upgrade to hardy beta now, and you use it until the stable release comes out, can you upgrade from beta to stable? [11:05] will you have alot of connections? [11:06] elbermungsterses: yes [11:06] kelvin911, choose standalone [11:06] if not use inetd i think [11:06] oh ok [11:06] !cloning | jaffarkelshac [11:06] how do i lower my lcd brightness it is stuck on high [11:06] jaffarkelshac: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [11:06] kindofabuzz, it's to do with whether you want the daemon to run all the time or just when a connection is made to the listening port [11:06] elbermungsterses: I you want to double check or ask questions about Hardy, try #ubuntu+1 [11:07] elbermungsterses: If you^ [11:07] okay, DistroJockey [11:07] Svenstaro, cheers, how do you do that [11:07] jaffarkelshac, you mean the bot? [11:08] unop__: yeah that's why i was saying, if you don't have alot of connections use inetd, i guess if you have the ram, use standalone [11:08] Svenstaro, i have been trying to ask it a question but nothing [11:08] Where's a good place to paste large files? [11:08] jaffarkelshac, it only knows this many predefined ones [11:08] !backup [11:08] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [11:08] kindofabuzz, i suggested he use the standalone setup as it's probably easier for him to setup and have running [11:08] hi@ll [11:08] yeah [11:09] jaffarkelshac, ubuntu has no system restore -- if thats what you are asking [11:09] unop, that was it [11:10] kelvin911: do you have a static ip for that server? [11:10] I've installed ubuntu gutsy on my girlfriend pc but ethernet and wifi drop down too many times [11:10] static [11:10] is this a common bug? [11:10] just checkin' [11:10] poccy never had that, you sure the wifi connection isnt physcially interrupted? [11:10] Svenstaro, how do i find out the list that ubontu has help on ie cloning, backup.... [11:11] Svenstaro: wifi works well on windows [11:11] !help [11:11] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[11:13] is the version I obtained from canonical the same I can download now from the server? [11:13] coderXx: what version of ubuntu are you using [11:13] kindofabuzz, i think its | not > or did > work [11:13] coderXx: it's installed by default on Ubuntu [11:13] gusty 7.10 [11:13] coderXx: it's already installed [11:13] coderXx, cmon, they wiki is full with guides on how to do that:( [11:13] !test | jaffarkelshac [11:13] or the image is updated along with the programs, drivers and kernel? [11:13] jaffarkelshac, with > you send a pm [11:13] !test > jaffarkelshac [11:13] i see [11:13] jaffarkelshac: > name sends that tequest to that person privatly [11:13] i try to run it but it gives error [11:14] coderXx: then it's installed and not configured [11:14] there must be a list of all these commands somewhere [11:14] Checking for Xgl: not present. [11:14] Blacklisted PCIID '1002:4153' found [11:14] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [11:14] jaffarkelshac, you arent paying attention to what we've been telling you :) [11:14] do a compiz --replace [11:14] !ubotu > jaffarkelshac [11:14] coderXx: your kernel module for your card (intel ?) has been blacklisted [11:14] ok then i m changing my question - does anyone help me to configure compiz ? [11:14] jaffarkelshac, /query ubotu -- and then use terms like "search backup" or "search cloning" [11:14] coderXx: your hardware is blacklisted you can not use compiz (reliabily) [11:15] ahhh [11:15] unop__ i dont mean for ubuntu i mean, irc operators [11:15] jaffarkelshac: do a /commands [11:15] erUSUL: but i was using it last year on this pc ... [11:15] irc in general? [11:15] thank you [11:16] for default home directory go i enter /media/[name]/ ?? [11:16] jaffarkelshac, it varies from channel to channel and bot to bot [11:16] the /commands i think is just for your client i think, just google irc commands i'm sure for a bigger list [11:16] kelvin911, simply enter "cd" it brings you to your home [11:16] no i mean the ftp server [11:17] Can I add a whole folder to rhythmbox Play Queue? I would like to be able to right click on a folder and tell it to be opened with rhythmbox? [11:17] how do I reset the default keyring password [11:17] should i replace /var/ftp ?? [11:17] completely forgot it [11:17] with my external hd path [11:17] kelvin911: is that the folder you wanna share? [11:17] i wanna share the external HD [11:17] kindofabuzz: I can confirm that /commands does not work in Pidgin :) [11:17] kelvin911, yes, in that case, its the mount point -- probably /media/name [11:17] DistroJockey: oh, it works in chatzilla [11:18] it does not work in xchat either [11:18] kindofabuzz: something Pidgin should get me thinks [11:18] default upload do i leave it blank? [11:18] Hi guys, when trying a apt-get update I get this error: 'Failed to fetch http://repository.debuntu.org/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [11:18] '. I tried /etc/apt/sources.list and deleting that line, but it doesn't seem to be there, how can I resolve this error? [11:19] whe do i have a ~/.kde? form installing kopete? i use gnome [11:19] El1, didnt we have that yesterday? [11:19] yes, but I didn't manage to solve it [11:20] how to set download upload speed to unlimited? [11:20] El1 that usually happens when you runa proxy [11:20] El1, find the file first: grep -inr debuntu /etc/apt/ [11:20] Is it possible to create a new Ubuntu Live DVD/CD that has all the updates included up to that point? Like you can do with XP? [11:20] kelvin911, it is unlimited [11:21] Unop, what should I do next? [11:21] how do I reset the default keyring password? [11:21] Comment out those lines in sources.list? [11:21] Parsec300, you can try remastersys [11:21] El1, well, did the command return? [11:21] yes, it returned 4 lines [11:21] http://i27.tinypic.com/xe04d5.png [11:21] it said 30 and 40 [11:21] Svenstaro: i got NFS share mounted on this client from server. when server is down, nautilus will not open, how can i fix that? well nautilus did open, an hour later [11:22] kindofabuzz: just the timeout [11:22] fixed now, thanks unop_ [11:22] question: Do drivers for mice excist for ubuntu 7.10? My mouse works more or less perfectly, but the 4th and 5th button (those at the side) don't do a thing when I click them. I've just started with ubuntu, so I don't have any experience. My mouse is a 'microsoft laser mouse 6000 v1.0'. [11:22] El1, well, you'd have to edit those files then and comment them out [11:22] kindofabuzz, that indeed is kind of strange, I dont know, mabye set the timeout a lot more aggressively? [11:23] ikonia, was it timeo=#? [11:23] on both right? in the exports and fstab on client? [11:23] kindofabuzz, kopette might save some configuration data or chat data under ~/.kde/ somewhere [11:24] kindofabuzz: no, it's a server config [11:24] rEvo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [11:24] ikonia: so in /etc/exports? [11:24] ok, thanks [11:24] no [11:25] wait, what good would it do on the server if server is down? [11:26] did i lose connection or did it just get quite in here? [11:27] hello? [11:27] many ppl left it seems [11:27] guys can i set macchanger to automatically change my mac on ubuntu startup? [11:27] there it goes [11:27] kindofabuzz, i think you might need to explicitly set timeo to something .. and it's in 1/10 of a second, so 14 would be 1.4 second, i'd try something like 100 maybe [11:28] unop__ on server right? exports? [11:28] what exactly is that timeout? [11:28] kindofabuzz, errm no, this is a mount point option [11:29] ok some say do it server side some client [11:29] kindofabuzz, timeo is a value for the kernel to detect when the filesystem is unavailable [11:29] my fstab options, defaults,soft, timeo=100? [11:30] kindofabuzz, yep [11:30] how to make bash script to run instantly on startup? [11:30] what's the command to remount everything? [11:30] kindofabuzz: sudo mount -a (pulls in everything from fstab) [11:30] kindofabuzz, mount -a [11:30] k [11:31] kindofabuzz, http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_network/x-087-2-nfs.mountd.html [11:31] cool [11:31] Svenstaro, thanks. === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [11:31] np [11:32] maybe /etc/init.d/ ? [11:32] sudo mount -a i get a shell blinking cursor, it's trying to find that server nfs [11:33] archman, depends, do you want to run the script as a user or as root? [11:33] kindofabuzz, must be [11:33] i figured soft would take care of that [11:34] ohhh i need intr === tdoggette is now known as tdoggette_ [11:34] unop_: as user. [11:34] Is ur sudo password the same as ur log in password? And how come i can't type a thing when they ask me to type it? [11:35] I have a fat32 partition which I want to reformat to ntfs, but GParted won't let me (ntfs is greyed out) - any idea what the problem is? [11:35] nope intr didn't work either [11:35] anyone knows about the default way to configure x in hardy? [11:35] I just upgraded [11:35] Joth, have u unmounted the fat32 partition [11:35] maybe i will try to learn to setup ftp server with vsftpd later [11:35] Yeah [11:35] I had a working custom made xorg.conf before [11:36] markvandenborre: better to ask in #ubuntu+1 [11:36] rEvo, sudo does not echo characters back to the screen .. but its still accepting input [11:36] ah [11:36] Joth, just restart the gparted and see if it works [11:36] ok [11:36] DistroJockey: k, thx [11:36] markvandenborre: np [11:36] archman, you'll need to edit the gnome-session properties and include this script [11:37] No, still won't let - I could reformat to ext2, ext3, fat16, fat32, linux-swap, reiserfs, but not ntfs [11:37] Joth, you can format a filesystem as ntfs if you have ntfsprogs installed (which probably already are) [11:37] unop_: on Sessions->Startup Programs add new? [11:38] Joth, if this returns something, you can? which mkfs.ntfs [11:38] archman, i should imagine, i dont use gnome, but that look right, yes [11:38] hmm [11:39] That returns /sbin/mkfs.ntfs [11:39] unop_ ok tnx [11:39] What should I do to reformat it then? [11:39] hey could any1 give me a quick tutorial on changing colors on vim, coz I got this error with "syntax on". please [11:39] Joth, man mkfs.ntfs :) [11:39] Thanks!

[11:55] pici Kismet 2007.01.R1 on gusty [11:55] and even enabled it but i cannot XDMCP from server to client, jut takes me to reg login, but i can see it [11:56] read that it's a known bug [11:56] unop_: I am logged in by terminal. and I want to enable vnc [11:56] in gutsy [11:56] e66, you dont need xdcmp to use vnc [11:56] unop_: so that I can login graphically. Its a gutsy box [11:56] kindofabuzz, when i used xdmcp, i enaled it on the 'server' then on the client. the kdm/gdm login screen had a option to scan for xdmcp servers. [11:56] unop_: are you sure ?? [11:56] e66, yes [11:56] e66, VNC does NOT NOT NOT need xdmcp at all. :) [11:57] everyone says I need it [11:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596190 [11:57] Dr_willis: I am logged in with hamachi [11:57] e66, did you install a vnc server or are you hoping to use vino (the built in one) ? [11:57] Dr_willis: yeah i can see the server when chosing XDMCP, i hit connet, it flashes screen like it's doing something, then just back to client login [11:57] e66, vnc is designed as a alterantive way of doing it. I got no idea what hamachi is. I use vncserver, and vnc client. [11:57] kindofabuzz, i would check the logs on the server. It may be some setting is blocking it. [11:57] damnit, know my nfs on client isn't seeing nothing! [11:58] unop_: I installed vnc4server by apt-get [11:58] xdmcp is not secure [11:58] Dr_willis: hamachi is VPN solution. [11:58] kindofabuzz, heh -- now my wireless isent working! Your bugs are spreading! [11:58] i don't need seurity, just me and the server [11:58] e66, all you need to do now is probably install a vnc viewer on the client machine and try and connect upto the server [11:58] Dr_willis: Both PCs are in private network [11:58] when i enable xdmcp i set it to ONLY allow the 3 pcs that i have on my lan. [11:58] well others on network but it's still just me [11:59] unop_: yes, I installed a vncviewer in my machine and trying to connect [11:59] vnc i gt error 111 [11:59] kindofabuzz, vnc does not need xdmcp. you can either use vnc or xdmcp for the thing you are trying to achieve. [11:59] It says, "failed to conect to server (5.x.x.x)" [11:59] unop_: It says, "failed to conect to server (5.x.x.x)" [11:59] e66, make sure the vnc server is running on the server tho first -- netstat -antp | grep -i "vnc|590" [12:00] i know but neither works [12:00] Hello all, i have problem with gstreamer(i think). Sometimes audio and video just stop playing(no sound,video goes to green screen with black pixels), where is problem?

[12:30] kindofabuzz: can't find the .deb [12:31] Do all Gnome programs use GTK? [12:31] some use wxwidgets nomopofomo [12:31] Coops is the de still on the computer? [12:31] deb [12:31] Svenstaro, iirc wxwidgets uses gtk [12:32] unop__ you positive on that? [12:32] kindofabuzz: aye, should I dpkg and force it? [12:32] Ok, here's my question. I am currently using Kubuntu. I know when I am using Ubuntu and want to install a KDE program, I have to install a couple of KDE libs. Is the same true for when I want to install a GTK program on KDE or is GTK not as tightly integrated with Gnome as I thought? [12:32] sry bluejak phone... im back now [12:32] unop_: doesn't that exclude all dirs? [12:32] yeah try that [12:32] :) ok [12:32] nomopofomo, its kinda the same way around, why are you scared of installing a few extra libs? [12:32] did you look in you alsa mixer settings? [12:33] im using vino on my ubuntu pc and accessing through my windows xp laptop using tightvnc viewer.. it works most of the time, but every few seconds it slows down and the viewer closes with a socket error (this is on a LAN) what could be the reason?

[12:33] :/ [12:33] Svenstaro, well, from what i understand wx* tries to be platform independant by using the widget libraries of the local platform, so on windows it uses GDI on gnome gtk on kde qt, etc -- i might very well be wrong if the architecure of wx has changed [12:33] My friend can [12:33] hm... installaing a different flash plugin maybe? [12:34] yes, i did [12:34] but nothing! [12:34] which one?

[12:37] took like 15 minutes to get a pic [12:37] I just installed linux on my computer and did 4 partitions to the disk (plus one that was already there and I didn't touch). The partitions are as follows: swap, /, /home and /media/data. Still, when I try to create a folder inside media/data, I get an error message saying I got no permissions. There is only one user created, the user I logged in as. What am I doing wrong?

[12:41] i might located the problem bu thow to fix? i have dnsmasq so how could i owerwrite certain sites info? [12:41] bluejak working now?! [12:41] lartza_: it does have a slow response time on my end [12:41] :/ i dont know [12:42] Hi! I'm trying to get my Creative SB Audigy 2 soundcard working. I can play sounds without any problems, but I can't record anything through the aux-in.. I've tried maxing everything in alsamixer but there's no reaction when I plug or unplugg the guitar cord.. what more can I try? [12:42] I install hardy using wubi, did 100MB of udpates, restarted and then got "initramfs" prompt. whats gone wrong? [12:42] I hve old info on dnsmasq [12:42] ?! [12:42] it needs to be overwritten [12:42] have you tried the solution or do you not know how to do it? [12:42] larmeh, also, if i understand right, thats how pptp works- it just connects subnets up, so clients using it, use an ip address in the range of the local ip of the pptp server [12:42] how to give write access to user with sudo power? [12:42] unop__: okay, but i guess this won't help my pptp server to assign adresses outside the 192.168.0.x subnet... [12:43] hi [12:43] does vino keep a log? [12:43] How do I owerwrite info that dnsmasq has? [12:43] My multimedia keys (volume) are not working. How do I enable them? [12:43] rhineheart_m, sudo chmod OPTINS or chown the file to be owned by the user you want. [12:43] rhineheart_m, You may want to clarify exactly what you want to do. [12:44] SpookyET: look for the programs xbindkeys, alsa-utils [12:44] I have an external drive formatted to ext3 (mybook 500GB) and it is pretty consistent in halting data flow, be in copying files, playing music/video. the blue light that rotates to indicate data transfer just stops - translating to HDD idle. Is there a reason gutsy keeps dropping out with this??? [12:44] ubuntu web site lists minicom in the "universe" repository for gutsy I have probably not added that source [12:44] LeFish-Xubuntu i tried but i dont know what i did and know : Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Playe [12:44] larmeh, is this what you are hoping to achive [local subnet]==>[pptpserver]<=={tunnel}==>[pptpserver]==>[remote subnet] ? [12:44] :| [12:44] unop__: hm so in order for pptp to assign addresses from the 172.16.x.x subnet, my server must be on it? sounds logical... [12:44] Dr_willis, this is my case.. I am trying to write files/folders to my server using winscp... but it gives me permission error. I'm using the username I set up the box.. the one with sudo power [12:45] so now you dont even see the videos?! [12:45] now not [12:45] rhineheart_m, write them to the users home dir, then ssh in, and copy them where needed with sudo cp whatever.... is one way [12:45] no [12:45] LeFish-Xubuntu: I don't need those. It used to work. Now, It doesn't. It's a gnome-setting [12:45] before one hour yes! [12:45] :P === chaky_ is now known as chaky [12:45] Dr_willis, sorry.. I can't get what you meant.. can you please make it a little clearer? [12:46] unop__: no: local subnet <=> pptpserver <=> tunnel <=> remote subnet... i'm not sure if this isn't equivalent to yours, though [12:46] does vino keep a log? [12:46] larmeh, errm, i'm not sure thats how pptp works, it should just connect subnets up not assign ip addresses to clients (i could be so wrong) -- if it connects subnets up, then the pptp server is just another gateway for the local subnet [12:46] how can i clear one site from dnsmasq cache? [12:46] rhineheart_m, use winscp copy the files to the users home dir. then using putty, ssh intot he box getting a terminal/shell, and use the sudo command to copy them where need3ed [12:46] SpookeyET if you use these two progs thou, it is more "stable"... it might take some minutes to set up but will work! [12:46] larmeh, dont you need a pptp server at both ends of the tunnel? [12:47] or off course you take a look into your gnome settings... [12:47] tuntun: sorry, #ubuntu+1, didn't see that you were using Hardy at first. [12:47] Dr_willis, got what you meant.. is there a way to do it automatically? I mean.. without using putty? [12:47] gyyytytt [12:47] larmeh, because if i understand your setup right, looks like you just need a simple router instead of a tunneling server [12:47] rhineheart_m, no idea. I dont use winscp. You could enable the root account and connect that way.. but thats a big security risk. [12:47] unop__: nope, the tunnel is between the first subnet and the second, while the pptp server is on both subnets and routes packages between them... (at least thats what i thought) [12:48] bluejak, im sorry but to help you there REMOTELY is quite hard [12:48] how can i clear one site from dnsmasq cache? [12:48] ilmi [12:48] cuz it could be anything and nothing... [12:48] i know,, [12:48] --clear-on-reload deletes whole cache [12:48] is there a way to make USB connected devices produce more reliable results in terms of connectivity [12:48] larmeh, from what you are describing to me, thats a job of a router :) [12:48] no problem my friend [12:48] :) [12:48] Dr_willis, thanks.. I will just use option A. :) [12:49] unop__: well yes, but i don't want both subnets to be fully connected and each package being passed through [12:49] Spookey I had the same problems... and i got rid of them this way! [12:49] unop__: and thats where pptp kicks in [12:49] larmeh, are the subnets physically seperated by another network (the internet for example)? or are they physically next to each other? [12:50] EXCEPT! (and now to my problem): [12:50] the comand amixer set Master toggle doesnt do anything... could anyone give me a hint how to fix it? [12:50] unop__: well sort of both, i want vpn connections from both sides, the local subnet and the internet [12:51] hello [12:51] i have some problems with my cd burner [12:51] larmeh, but where does the vpn terminate? [12:51] i have to burn an iso dvd image on a dvd +rw and brasero crashes, for info all other programs crashes such as gnomebaker, graveman and even k3b [12:52] can someone help me? here's the error from brasero: http://pastebin.com/m56ef3a8f [12:52] what would be the easiest way to resize / partition and add space to /home one [12:52] LeFish-Xubuntu!! its now working ! [12:52] thank you [12:52] !! [12:52] youre welcome... thought so... [12:52] unop__: at my server which connects to the internet and is reachable from the inside as well as from the outside [12:53] This may be off-topic, but I'm looking for a free shell account with SSH forwarding capabilities - any idea where to ask this question? [12:53] Toznoshio: It is offtopic. Try #ubuntu-offtopic... [12:54] I just forgot.. how to copy directory to another location... [12:55] rhineheart_m: cp -i dir /where/you/want [12:56] larmeh, sounds like you want the vpn tunnel to terminate at a client which connects up to the server from outside the network? in that case, the external client should get an IP address that is part of the network the pptp server is connected to i.e. probably 192.168.0.x [12:57] I got this error: cp: omitting directory `****l' [12:58] rhineheart_m, you want to do a cp -r [12:58] !french | Xang [12:58] ! french | Xang [12:58] !fr | Xang [12:58] unop__: yes... well thats exactly whats happening when i connect right now [12:58] Xang: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[13:03] unop__: yes i know. its used the same way as i described in my university's network and i was trying to replicate this implementation on my local network because i was curious about it... [13:03] busan, about the current release.. not the beta release.. [13:03] jaffarkelshac, you run sudo freshclam, but it does that on its own periodicially if properly configured [13:04] larmeh, so you use a pptp client on your machine outside university, and that gives you access to the university network as if you were inside it? [13:05] thank you [13:05] Svenstaro, it saids its oudated [13:05] how about to remove directory? [13:05] jaffarkelshac, well run freshclam [13:05] rhineheart_m, rmdir [13:05] rhineheart_m: rm -r [13:05] rhineheart_m, rm -rf /directory (use with caution) [13:06] err s/\// [13:06] dont people usually get kicked if they say "rm -rf" ? :P [13:06] Svenstaro: not if someone is asking to remove a directory.... [13:06] Svenstaro, depends on context and intent [13:06] unop__: no, you connect to the university's wireless lan and get an ip adress of subnet A. on this subnet, you can ping all other wlan clients but cant really get inside of the network unless you log on to its pptp server and authenticate yourself. after that you get an ip adress of subnet B and this is the subnet, all hosts (e.g. mail server etc) are on. plus you can get your packages out on the internet but thats another story [13:07] so.. is this the one? sudo rm -r /var/ww/*** ? if I want *** to be remove? [13:08] unop__: i think while explaining this, i just figured out what to do^^ [13:08] rhineheart_m, yeah should do [13:08] rhineheart_m: in "" then I think [13:08] larmeh, right, that's kinda what i mean, -- what you need to do is configure the pptp-server on your edge-router -- clients connect to it and recive IP addresses of the internal network, quite simple [13:09] larmeh, although, it might be much easier if you use ssh and ssh's tunnelling facilities [13:10] unop__: yes, thats the case when you connect from the outside... e.g. the internet... quite simple indeed but if you wanna connect from a different subnet on the inside, there's some more subtlety to it [13:11] unop__: yes thats what i've been doing up to now, but thats not what i want anymore [13:11] i have 2 coputers on is p4 HT and anther is amd x2 64bit have i download two different version of ubuntu or there is one version for both? === xkill is now known as riot [13:12] Dark, you can use the 386 release for both just fine. [13:12] Dark, you may want to set up a apt cacheing server on one machine also. save on downloads. [13:12] larmeh, even if you connect to it from another subnet inside, it should still work the same way, you just have to make sure that the pptp server is reachable from the connecting subnet -- but you will also have to make sure that the pptp server is the default gateway for that subnet into this one, if you know what i mean [13:13] dr_willis what apt caching server for? [13:13] the p4ht is a 64bit cpu also isent it? if so the 64but release works.. [13:13] hey, i have ubuntu running from a live CD and i want to connect to the internet, but it seems that the speedtouch connection icon(.lnk) doesn't open with ubuntu, so i want to download WINE and try openning the speedtouch from there [13:13] no [13:13] Dark, it caches your apt downloads.. so you dont have to download the things twice.. :) [13:13] 32bit sir [13:13] will it work? [13:13] Dark, stick with 32bit then. :) thats what i do for all my machines. [13:13] wow greate [13:14] :) [13:14] unop__: yes i know what you mean... and this can be done easily via dhcp [13:14] i very new to linux i used anther distrubute for one week but now i know ubuntu is best so i wanna install [13:14] Yazan- you need to configure network settings then you dont need a speedtouch.lnk [13:14] I'm trying to suspend with pm-suspend, but when I try to resume the system hangs up immediately [13:14] My ctrl alt + zoom ist stuck, and wont zoom out to the propper size [13:15] it is killing my soul [13:15] any ideas? [13:15] hey, everyone help me? [13:15] !ask simara [13:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask simara - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:15] !ask | simara [13:15] simara: 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. :-) [13:15] larmeh, errm, sure, but if the pptp server is dishing out ip addresses, it should be configuring that route for the client -- anyway, i'll let you get on, you shouldn't need any more confusion :) [13:16] How I enter in another Server? [13:16] hi every one, i'm trying to backup my ubuntu installation and when i try to test my iso image in virtualbox, it shows me error that /dev/sda does not exist. any idea [13:16] Piet44: I am running ubuntu from a live CD and I haven't fully installed it. I want to connect to the internet but it seems I can't [13:16] How I enter in another Server? [13:16] Yazan-, you will not have success emulating a driver in wine [13:16] simara, in irc? [13:16] How I enter in another Server? in ubunto-br [13:16] My desktop is perma zoomed. I cant zoom out. This happened after pressing ¨ctrl alt +¨ can anyone help? [13:17] Svenstaro: Then how would I go on about connecting to the internet when I'm on ubuntu running from a CD? [13:17] simara, you want to type /join #ubuntu-br === recon_etc is now known as recon [13:17] Svenstaro, was it you who i was having the discussion about wxwidgets with? [13:17] what I need to write [13:17] ? [13:17] Yazan-, doesnt your speedtouch have a rj45 connector? [13:17] unop__ yes [13:17] simara write this "/join #ubuntu-br" [13:18] hey, thanks svenstaro... I get! =] [13:18] Svenstaro, yea, it appears wxwidgets is just a layer on top of the native widget library - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WxWidgets [13:18] Svenstaro: The internet speedtouch needs to be installed from a CD [13:18] Yazan-, ah I get what you are saying, no it needs not, ubuntu has built in PPPOE support [13:18] Yazan-, you got userlogin info right? [13:19] yes [13:19] hi all... am back === sigit is now known as painem [13:19] Yazan-, well, just enter that in the ubuntu network configuration and youre all set, no need for some strange software [13:19] does anyone know if there are any flash authoring tools that run natively on Ubuntu? [13:19] My desktop is perma zoomed. I cant zoom out to the normal size. This happened after pressing ¨ctrl alt +¨ can anyone help? [13:19] I'm trying to suspend with pm-suspend, but when I try to resume the system hangs up immediately [13:19] Mzalendo, there's no real alternative to flash 8, which you can run quite well on ubuntu using wine [13:19] Svenstaro: I'm all new, I will go and check what configuration you're talking about [13:20] swam, you did the magic altctrl-NUMPAD + thing. :) use alt-ctrl-numpad - now (minus key) [13:20] argghh..brb [13:20] panas [13:20] Yazan-, its quite obvious [13:20] Svenstaro: how much ram do i need to run Flash 8, under Wine [13:20] Dr_willis . it wont zoom out all the way [13:20] Mzalendo, probably 256 are enough to *run* it but to really work with it you need at the very least 768 [13:20] hi, is there a USB fingerprint reader that works with ubuntu ? [13:21] I'm trying to suspend with pm-suspend, but when I try to resume the system hangs up immediately. I have Fujitsu-siemens amilo l1310g. I do have fglrx installed but the module isn't loaded [13:21] unop__, interesting, thanks :) [13:21] Svenstaro: The network config is shown from the drop down menu in the top part of the screen [13:21] right? === luke__ is now known as Kazaed [13:21] Dr_willis that is what I am talking about though, the magic numpad thing. Do you see what I am saying? ctl alt - wont return to the propper size === Kazaed is now known as Kazade [13:21] Yazan-, well that one only connect to auto-detected connection, you want to use the connection wizard from the menu [13:21] swam, you can disable that whole numpad + and - thing with some xorg.conf options. [13:22] Svenstaro: is Flash 8 the same as Macromedia Flash MX (now bought by Adobe)? is it free, or i have to buy it somewhere? [13:22] swam, I havent messed with that in ages. I normally set 1 res in the xorg.conf and thats it. [13:22] Mzalendo, you will have to buy it [13:22] Dr_willis I am scanning that file as we speak [13:22] how do you change a partition from bootable to unbootable? [13:22] Mzalendo, or acuire it using methods im not going to mention :P [13:23] Bryan_sierra, use gparted, rightclick, and set the boot flag [13:23] Svenstaro: lol [13:23] How do I go about turning on SSH access to my fresh installed Ubuntu box? [13:23] !ssh > RandoCal (read the private message from ubotu) [13:23] RandoCal, server? [13:23] Svenstaro: u still havent clarified whether Flash 8 is the same as Macromedia Flash MX [13:23] no, not server, just desktop [13:24] RandoCal, client? [13:24] RandoCal: do you want to ssh into you new ubuntu box? [13:24] I think he means vnc [13:24] yes, i would like to be able to SSH over from my Windows box [13:24] RandoCal: he means, do you want the SSH Server (let people connect to you) or SSH Client (connect to other people) [13:25] RandoCal: install openssh-server [13:25] Svenstaro, is there an easier way ? [13:25] Bryan_sierra, well there always is the way using fdisk, cfdisk, parted, which I dont recommend you attempt or you could break stuff in horrible ways === praveenr is now known as semanticpc [13:27] Anyone: Does SwishMax2 run natively on Ubuntu or it has to run under Wine? [13:27] most printers will accept any kind of A4 paper right ? I need to print out a gift voucher. I'd prefer not to use regular paper, but rather something a little stiffer ... [13:27] anyone have any ideas ? [13:27] anyone able yo help me? i am not being assigned an IP address from my DHCP, yet my GF's pc does [13:27] Awesome, works perfect. [13:27] hello [13:28] how i make vlc as a default player [13:28] is it possible to assign more ram to a process [13:28] ? [13:28] I'm brand new to using Ubuntu (or any linux for that matter) as a desktop OS, and I've gotta say, i'm finding it a very smooth pleasant process. [13:29] Chinaski1: you can change its 'nice' value, giving it more cpu attention. as such, the cpu may call for more ram. but it's up to the application to manage ram resources [13:29] I need help with recording things in Ubuntu. I have a Creative SB Audigy 2 soundcard with a guitar plug on the front of the computer. I can play sounds without any problems, but I can't get any sound from the guitar. I've tried maxing out volumes in alsamixer. What else can I try? [13:29] anyone? [13:29] how i make vlc as a default player [13:29] what is nice value? [13:30] Chinaski1: it's the priority that a process gets with the cpu [13:30] i want to play all music n video in vlc after simply double click on file [13:30] When my monitors fade out from inactivity, i can move the mouse. This stops the fade out on the left monitor, but it stays semi-faded out until X-Restart. The rightmost monitor does what is expected (reverts to full brightness) Anyone know what is wrong? [13:30] Chinaski1: valid valus are -20 to 19 [13:31] chdst: with smaller numbers getting more priority, and larger numbers getting less priority [13:31] !defaultapp > terminal (read the private message from ubotu) [13:32] chdst: wrong tab complete. sorry. meant for Chinaski1, but he/she left [13:32] is the instalation of ubuntu on playstation 3 is amater of impossible [13:32] ? [13:33] Dark, I didnt get the english there but I think you want to know if an installation of ubuntu on ps3 is possible? well, it is. [13:33] yes [13:33] Dark, just way more roughly than you will want it to be [13:34] thanx jrib [13:34] thx i will give it try [13:34] dark, dont attempt it [13:34] why? [13:34] Dark, theres a linux distro just for ps3 linux, try that one, you will fail at installing ubuntu on ps3 [13:35] its neither for cell architecture nor does ubuntu have all the kernel modules [13:35] there is ubuntu for ps3 [13:35] dark, there is? [13:35] yes [13:35] How can i turn off fading out monitors after inactivity? [13:35] http://psubuntu.com/installation-instructions/ [13:36] Svenstaro: someone advised me to uninstall Limewire and install Frostwire... because Limewire is closed-source and Frostwire isnt... [13:36] Dark, ow thats great, i didnt know that, still you might want to try the special ps3 distro first [13:36] I still want the X "DPMS" or whatever it's called. I don't want ubuntu's fade out [13:36] Mzalendo, uhm, yes, so? good decision [13:36] Svenstaro: but Frostwire is behaving exactly the same way that Limewire did... freezing up cold, for no apparent reason [13:36] such as?/ [13:37] Mzalendo, ironic, looking at the name, isnt it? :P Why dont you just use torrent for all your ... special needs? [13:37] Dark, please google for that one, google for "playstation 3 linux distribution" [13:37] lol [13:37] torrent over ubuntu :) [13:38] Svenstaro: how do i stop and re-start the halted Frostwire process... is there a single terminal command? or a combination of two commands? [13:38] Anyone know if I have a 32-bit ubuntu system currentley install can i "upgrade" to 64-bit without any issues? [13:38] Mzalendo, wait, you mean kill a frozen up command or actually purposefully freeze it? [13:38] which would be a good room to ask about APT? [13:38] foebrian, no you cant, it will fail, you will have to reinstall x64 [13:39] rgrig, probably this one [13:39] Svenstaro: kill a frozen up process... and unkill it [13:39] i get this [13:39] 5911 ? 00:00:00 frostwire [13:39] 5912 ? 00:00:00 runFrostwire.sh [13:39] foebrian: I don't beleive you can "upgrade" from 32 to 64 bit. You'd probably need to reformat and install the 64 bit OS from scratch. There is almost no advantage to a 64 bit OS though, and many disadvantages [13:39] Mzalendo, well, type kill 5911 5912 [13:39] esteth: disagreed. 64 provides many benifits over 32 [13:39] so the procid for frostwire is 5911 and the other process (which i dont understand) is 5912 [13:39] esteth: even thought the drivers are in the kernel and the file systems are the same? [13:40] encryptz, there also are a few issues, you gotta give him that [13:40] where can i find some docs about the format used for apt listings? [13:40] I have 7.10 and Apache server installed on my computer and now i want to put the little site i have made into the server.I dont know where to start.Can anyone help please. [13:40] Debian[6], Fedora 8[7], Gentoo[8], OpenSuSE and Ubuntu[9] can be run on the PlayStation 3 but i choose ubuntu [13:40] Svenstaro: flash in a 64-browser... that's about it [13:40] s/64-browser/64-bit browser/ [13:40] ntorido, the standard webroot is /var/www [13:40] anyone else cannot connect to ircnet? [13:41] for example "package: x\n conflicts: y" doe NOT mean that x and y can't be installed at the same time, since many packages have "package:x\n conflicts: x" [13:41] encryptz: I have no personal experience of a 64 bit OS, but i tend to see many complaints about it [13:41] encryptz, there are some package unavailible as well, so some more compiling from source, x64 is not for the newcomer, and provides many benefits for the power user [13:41] esteth: "back in the day", there were problems with not enough packages available. today, that's a non-issue [13:41] esteth, those complaints are for windows [13:41] very strange... ran the kill command in terminal, but the darned thing remains frozen right there [13:42] Svenstaro: those packages that are not available, will not be sought out my a new comer [13:42] Mzalendo, try this one, kill -s 9 5111 or whatever the number was [13:42] Question: Which is a better CMS? Datalife or Joomla? And why? [13:42] encryptz, that, indeed, is true [13:42] Mzalendo, drupal :) [13:43] Svenstaro: drupal? what's that? [13:43] Svenstaro: esteth: all packages that a "noob" will be after, are available in 64-bit. plus, with the wider bus, hd content is more smooth, games are more responsive, and compiling from source is a dream come true [13:43] I'm trying to suspend with pm-suspend, but when I try to resume the system hangs up immediately. I have Fujitsu-siemens amilo l1310g. I do have fglrx installed but the module isn't loaded [13:43] Mzalendo, have a look at it, its a web 2.0 cms [13:44] am looking... :-) [13:44] encryptz, dont overhype x64, rarely all applications that work in it are optimized for it, I run x64 myself but its not like its a quantum leap [13:44] Svenstaro: so, what's the best torrent client for Ubuntu? [13:44] Mzalendo, well you can try utorrent through wine, deluge, azureus [13:44] transmission is the superior client [13:44] or transmissions, right [13:45] just have a look at htem [13:45] for Ill be afk now [13:45] afk? please translate... i dont know that one [13:45] away from keyboard [13:45] ok [13:46] understood.. lol :-) [13:46] Svenstaro: do u have the URL for transmission(s)? [13:46] anyone else getting lots of sigsegv errors in hardy? [13:46] never mind... found it [13:46] sudo apt-get install transmission Mzalendo [13:46] lol [13:47] i made a custom icon set, and replaced my logout icons with some from another set. they now appear really really small in the logout window... what causes this? they are scalable icons.

I can connect to networks fine, but the card will not go above 1mb. Can someone please help me? [13:49] indenial: the thing is; it really is different so advice offered here could screw up your machine [13:49] anyone knows where i can get debian packages for Transmission? am not comfortable compiling sources yet... lol [13:49] bazhang: ok.. get it.. [13:49] why would my logout action icons shrink when i replaced them? [13:49] Mzalendo: it is in the repos no need to compile [13:49] When I try to bind windows+ as a key in Gnmoe's "Keyboard shortcuts", it just shows 'Super L' when I press the windows key, and I can't do anything else. How do I get it to work as a meta-button? [13:49] bazhang: ok, how do i install? [13:50] how do i install from source is it not (./configure make make install)? [13:50] sudo apt-get install transmission Mzalendo [13:50] ok... thanks bazhang [13:50] jaffarkelshac: is there not a readme with that? that is often the case but sometimes might vary [13:51] need help installing flying windows plug in for compiz fusion [13:51] bazhang, saids exactly that [13:51] but the make is not working [13:51] !info transmission [13:51] dgjones: !info is broken [13:51] jaffarkelshac: pastebin your errors and maybe someone here will have the answer [13:52] jpatrick, thanks for the heads up, i wasn't aware of that [13:52] ok. [13:52] Hi, is there a more elegant way to upgrade than find /etc/apt/sources.list | xargs sudo sed -i s/gutsy/hardy ? GUI-based?

[13:53] Peaker: update-manager [13:53] bazhang: which is better... to use torrent clients or *wire apps? which one poses a heavier demand on bandwidth? [13:53] why would my session logout icons be shrunken? anyone know what causes this? [13:53] peaker: update-manager -d [13:53] torrent clients, Mzalendo [13:53] Mzalendo: the torrent is more suited to modern day internet but kinda offtopic here [13:54] Anyone running Beta on a Dell Inspiron 1501? [13:54] #ubuntu+1 please balgarath [13:54] bazhang, will do [13:54] osxdude|laptop: so torrent clients pose a heavier demand on bandwidth?

[13:55] ooh, i've done that before [13:56] I really could use some help with a wireless card (Broadcom chipset). I can connect to networks fine, but the card will not go above 1mb. Can someone please help me? [13:56] vix85, have you tried using sudo?

(my hosting provider has only DapperDrake in the Ubuntu category) [13:59] osxdude|laptop: the swf is embed into the html . [13:59] gorilla please dont [14:00] yacc, it's pretty complicated... you have to go through Edgy and Feisty. why don't you wait for Hardy? being an LTS release, there will be a direct upgrade path from Dapper to it [14:00] vix85 there might be another executable that is required to be open. I forget what that excutable is for TeamSpeak [14:00] why are my logout icons shrunken? look here: http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotga0.png [14:00] 11GB free! [14:00] yay!

[14:02] LjL: well, I'd like to take new server into production in the near future. That means I'll have to setup this box as Etch ;( [14:02] exit [14:02] osxdude|laptop: Then how am i going to incorporate that with the other content in the html page i have? [14:03] Hi, does anyone know a program that convert sony .arw image files to jpeg or tiff? [14:03] ntorido Does it work accessing it singularly? If so, then that means that there is an error in the HTML [14:03] also I have another user but how do i give him all privileges?

[14:06] tamie1 hmmmm [14:06] i went here http://linuxmini.blogspot.com/2007/10/virtualbox-usb-setting-on-ubuntu-and.html but no luck [14:06] LjL: The LTS part I guess. [14:07] Well, I must go, see y'all laters [14:07] cya [14:07] LjL: As crazy as this sounds I like to have relative fresh revisions even on a server. [14:07] I'm away [14:07] yacc: and LTS is bad? for a server? i suspect that is *why* your host provides Dapper to begin with [14:07] LjL: yeah, I had one woody box, and it become quite a pain to get new/experimental software to run on it ;( [14:08] LjL: so in your opinion Dapper is fine? [14:08] yacc, you can always *try* upgrading to Gutsy. it's not "impossible", just lengthy... but especially on a just-installed system, it should work [14:08] so nobody knows how to help me with virtual box [14:08] yacc, in my opinion it all depends on the situation, just saying it definitely does target servers [14:08] Corky_: Try asking in #vbox if you are not getting answers here. [14:09] ok [14:09] didnt know that existed [14:09] thx [14:09] Corky_, i think the open-source edition doesn't support USB at all [14:09] oh [14:10] Guys, when I was on ubuntu which is running from a CD, I didn't have any idea of how to connect to the internet [14:10] some guy said just enter the login info and it will connect [14:10] Yazan-, wired or wireless networking? [14:10] although there isn't any place that tells me to enter the info [14:10] Yazan-: this is wireless or wired [14:10] wired [14:11] live cd should use any dhcp server it finds on the network and connect. [14:11] Yazan-, if you have a router with DHCP and all the things that DSL routers normally have enabled, then it "should" connect automatically [14:11] Yazan-: does ifconfig show eth0 [14:11] yes [14:11] bazhang [14:11] bazhang: yeah [14:11] I think i saw eth0 [14:11] or something similar there [14:11] sudo dhclient eth0 Yazan- [14:11] what? [14:12] bazhang: You mean i should type that in a shell? [14:12] or what? [14:12] Yazan-: aye [14:12] 'ifconfig eth0' should show an ip if its connected try 'ping google.com' if it replies then you are connected. :) [14:12] !enter | Yazan- [14:12] Yazan-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[14:58] indian_munnda, what kind of package do you have?

[15:06] switchcat: directory, files, file types, permissions [15:06] eth01: they do green --> executable red --> archive blue --> directory etc [15:07] kelvin911, type the following in a terminal: "sudo ln -s /home/[your username]/.themes /root/.themes" and "sudo ln -s /home/[Your username]/.icons /root/.icons" That'll give root applications the same theme as you're using [15:07] the live cd don't boot with initial settings, and get stuck at boot scripts, and only the resolution makes a difference and I get an error on my monitor about unsupoorted refresh rate [15:07] what about dark green on blue background?

[16:58] SpookyET, indeed ubuntu comes with a backup user -- but like i said, it's probably only for use with any backup programs that need it [16:58] <[azrael]> Vlet i heard it's working better than previous release [16:58] Am I supposed to pick America/Monterrey for the time zone if I'm in Texas?

[16:59] SpookyET, pay no attention to the backup user, just focus on getting your backup software to work, that'll take care of everything else [16:59] unblivius, same time zone [16:59] uhblivius: he was kidding [16:59] nyarly_ what do you mean ?

I'm trying to write a startup script for a program, however it saves a config file in the user's home dir ~/.something/ and it appears not to have a user set when it's run on boot. Is there a way of giving it the root user's details from a system variable or something? [17:07] JediMaster, use the gnome session properties to add this startup script for the current user [17:07] unop_: needs to be run as root [17:07] JediMaster, write it as root [17:07] unop_: and there's no GUI installed =) [17:07] fourthdimension, i'm using Transmission and there's nothing in prefs [17:08] ah.

[18:17] any suggestions of a google talk client on linux...preferably a console based [18:17] macrobad: hehe === StoneANewt is now known as StoneNewt [18:17] am thinking of getting back to programing in c++ or c# but i was wondering if i was to make code under linux would it work under say windows or mac or something? [18:17] ext2 or ext3 ? [18:17] magnetron: and I have no idea why it was not running... anyway, thanx [18:18] SuperSayjin: Oh, ive got a quad too. Was having problems getting 100% on windows lol. === king is now known as ArmedKing-Laptop [18:18] when i first start up ubuntu on my laptop, the speakers do not work. at all. (microphone works fine). if i plug in headphones, i can get sound through them, and when i unplug them again, audio kicks in from my laptop speakers. has anyone heard of this before? if so, is there a known fix available? [18:18] sunny: purple is the text based client pidgin uses ... I think [18:19] DreamersDelight: ext3 [18:19] ronandi: the windows 100% issue is easly fiaxble [18:19] dark_senses: that sounds like a problem with bad ACPI support. it's hard for Ubuntu to keep up with that, but most users find their laptop is better supported in the next version of ubuntu [18:19] seamus7: no, that's finch [18:19] seamus7, thanks [18:19] sjovan: oops that's what I meant [18:19] i was just wondering how to fix it on ubuntu [18:19] sunny: it's finch ... not purple [18:20] ^magnetron, it's just weird though that it works fine after i plug in and unplug my headphones.. almost like it's a false default audio output or something but for the life of me i cant find out where or how i'd change that [18:20] dark_senses: all the different laptop manufacturers use ACPI differently [18:20] dark_senses: which version of Ubuntu do you use? [18:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#check <-----------quality [18:20] 7.10 right now [18:21] dark_senses: ok. i've heard the sound system in Ubuntu 8.04 works better, you might want to try that when it's released in a month [18:21] SuperSayjin: yeah, I just didnt do it since I was switching to linux anyway [18:21] jälleen kerran todistetaan koodarien kirjoittamaton sääntö. Kehitä open sourcena, todenäköistä on että sinun ei tarvitse keksiä pyörää yhä uudelleen ja uudelleen vaan se on jo valmiiksi keksitty. [18:21] oops [18:21] !fi [18:21] Suomenkielinen keskustelu (K)Ubuntusta kanavilla #ubuntu-fi ja #kubuntu-fi [18:21] ronandi: thats cool [18:22] yeah I noticed. [18:22] demize, depends on what you are programming, if you want something portable, then you might want to explore using portable APIs, like gtk or wxwidgets [18:22] magnetron- yeah i heard that this new version is supposed to work better, i just wasnt sure if there was a temp. fix for it or something- i cant find a single person that has the same problem as me [18:22] seamus7: googled for finch but its just an IM client and doesn't support voice calls to other gtalk users...correct me if I am wrong [18:23] irc://irc.abjects.net/mp3q8 [18:23] sunny: that's right and mine bugs out when i try to send a file. no problem reciving though [18:23] dark_senses: the support for such things often depends on the version of Linux used and there's little to do about it besides wait for a newer version. [18:24] how do i get sound out of my computer through my minijack? the sound can play allright on the labtop speakers, but not in my headphones or through my amp.. [18:24] sunny: and of course it doesn't suport sound. it's for the terminal and ssh use :) [18:24] magnetron- alright, guess that's what i'll do then :-P ty for your help [18:24] SuperSayjin: are you ocing? [18:24] dark_senses: cheers [18:24] sunny: sorry thought you were just looking for a CLI IM [18:25] Hey, is it possible to upgrade my filesystem from reiser3.6 to reiser4 without losing any data? [18:25] sjovan: any idea of clients on linux to make voice calls to other gtalk users....its some jingle protocol that gtalk uses [18:25] ronandi: right now ocing is pointless because g@h isnt using all 100% [18:25] Serway: no [18:25] seamus7: no problem [18:25] if i can get f@h to use all 100% [18:25] ill oc [18:25] sunny: have you done a search in synaptic [18:25] hi how i can disable who commands in ubuntu? [18:25] Serway: you need to back the files up and reformat the filesystem [18:25] so users cant see anything when using who [18:25] seamus7: synaptic? [18:26] erUSUL: you still around?? [18:26] rodel - change permissions, remove the link from /usr/sbin etc [18:26] SuperSayjin: I didnt mean OC for f@h, just was asking if you have already oced your comp. perhaps for fun, or for better gaming performance (if you dual boot) [18:26] smileypaul: alright ty === vistalite is now known as Piero_Scaruffi [18:26] rodel-, sudo chmod a-x $(which who) # but i wouldnt recommend you doing it [18:26] sunny: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29 There's a few in that list [18:27] sunny: nope, sorry. I have never used gtalk. doesn't pidgen suport it? found this pack, but know what it is ---> gtalk - plug-in replacement for standard talk [18:27] Flannel: checking it out [18:27] sunny: System/Admin/SynapticPackageManager ..... it lists all the programs/packages available for install or uninstall ... all the ones found in the repositories, that is, that you have in your software sources. [18:27] hey has anyone an idea why he unloads the modul http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/139258/ [18:28] ok, so getting the inf file from a windows driver provided by hp didnt work [18:28] sjovan: sorry but I dont use pidgin either...centericq is my choice ...kind of command line junkie :-) [18:28] unop_ : what is the best way? [18:28] sunny, right with ya there [18:28] sunny: same as me huh? irssi and finch ftw (if you ask me) :D [18:28] because users is annoying or some illegals when they not see the admin [18:28] Hi, anyone experienced in harddisk encryption (especially root partiton). i reinstalled ubuntu today on my new computer and it doesnt work anymore :(( on reboot it hangs at 'Starting, please wait....' i get no error message :(( [18:28] seamus7: oh I see [18:28] ronandi: this is a new pc so ive tryed once so far but i havnt really tryed my 1st prority was to get f@h running beofre ocing [18:29] can anyone help me set up my ssh server??? [18:29] pranith: ssh is enabled by default [18:29] SuperSayjin: oh. did you build it? specs? [18:30] sjovan, let me see [18:30] is the difference between ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server,the GUI and which packages get installed?? [18:30] different kernel package also [18:30] unop_ : what is the best way? , because users is annoying or some illegals when they not see the admin [18:30] and its optimized for server usage [18:30] hello [18:30] rodel-: You just want them to not see people, right? make /var/run/utmp not readable [18:31] bieb, for the short answer, yes [18:31] Hello friendly friends! [18:31] i mean people not see anyone using who [18:31] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/139258/ anyone an idea why he unloads fglrx module [18:31] rodel-: make that file not readable [18:31] reloop: is there a way to offer the GUI in ubuntu-server? I wont be the only person doing admin things on this machine [18:31] please how can i remove the last four chars of a $cvar using grep? [18:31] bieb: The difference is in the default packages installed, yes. [18:31] ronandi: specs q6600 at stock atm 2gb 1066mhz ram(sli) an old nvidia 6600gt oc [18:31] bieb: I'd install the desktop, then add the server stuff to it. [18:31] sjovan, i like centericq beeter than finch, plays nicer with screen [18:31] rodel-, also revoke permissions on /var/run/wtmp [18:31] ok, nyarly_, any ideas? [18:32] Flannel: thanks [18:32] the mobo is a msi p7n diamon [18:32] Does anyone know how to input characters with umlauts? On Windows I was used to inputting Unicode characters with a combination of Alt and keypad numbers. [18:32] bieb, you need gui for admin things? [18:32] pranith: or maby i'm comfuseing it with something els. anyways, if it's not working then sudo apt-get isntall openssh-server [18:32] Flannel full commands only users cannot see and root/admin can see only [18:32] bieb, gui means lots more packages installed means lots more security holes could be opened. [18:32] rodel-, so only give root/admins read permissions [18:32] nyarly_: what are you thinking about? i'm running finch in a screen right now [18:33] reloop: not for me.. one of the other people that will have to check things on the server, is not a CLI person [18:33] bieb, else you could work in a minimal environment too? [18:33] sjovan, lol! myabe its my screen but finch just doesn't look as good [18:33] yep [18:33] yes unop_ [18:33] what will i do? [18:34] is the only decent way to get the new gnome is to wait until ubuntu includes it on a newer version? [18:34] hi guys im trying to install winXP as a second boot option, my first option is Ubuntu where im right now. Would i have any issue with my boot partition or MBR table?? which tool could you suggest me to back up my mbr and boot partition ? [18:34] nyarly_: screen, like a computer screen, or the command SCREEN? === Positronic_ is now known as Positronic [18:34] sjovan, SCREEN at cli [18:34] bieb, then you just need to install needed packages. [18:34] bieb: Is it going to run as a server mainly? Local usage is just for admin? I'd use the -server kernel probably. [18:34] cocox_: you'll have to reinstall grub after you install XP [18:34] SuperSayjin: You built a new computer with a 6600gt?? or do you mean 88000? [18:34] !grub > cocox_ [18:34] rodel-, sudo chmod 750 /var/run/{utmp,wtmp} # should do [18:35] cocox_: why dual boot when you can install XP in a Virtual Box inside Ubuntu? [18:35] nyarly_: if you are useing it over ssh, then you need to alt+l sometimes to refresh the look [18:35] magnetron, so i asume after installing XP my pc is going to boot to windows without asking [18:35] Flannel: what is the kernel difference in desktop vs server? [18:35] unop_, rodel-, no, 660 [18:35] [root@express ~]# sudo chmod 750 /var/run/{utmp,wtmp} [18:35] chmod: cannot access `/var/run/wtmp': No such file or directory [18:35] [root@express ~]# [18:35] cocox_: yes [18:35] nyarly_: could you take a screen-shot and put it up on smallpix or something so i can have a look [18:35] nope [18:35] it has [18:35] bieb, i already did that but is slower and doesnt have usb support [18:35] #ubuntu+1 [18:36] Flannel full commands? [18:36] a nvidia gforce bfg 6600gt oc [18:36] bieb: thebiggest difference betwen server and generic is that server has PREEMPT disabled [18:36] its 2 years old ^.^ [18:36] rodel-: sudo chmod 660 /var/run/utmp && sudo chmod 660 /var/log/wtmp [18:36] SuperSayjin: oh, nvm, you said an old card. who makes the ram? [18:36] Flannel: what does PREEMPT do? [18:37] coursair dominator [18:37] nice [18:37] coursair dominator ddr 8500 at 1067 mhz atm [18:37] sjovan, yeah hang on [18:37] thanks alot Flannel [18:38] ive got ballistix @ 1066 [18:38] i didnt build it for games sonce i have a games machine i got this for playing with and experinetns with ubuntu [18:38] bieb: Its a scheme (one of two, I believe) for scheduling interrupts. Basically without it (server kernel) stuff runs for longer chunks (less checks for interrupts) of time. But some people have issues with the mouse appearing laggy with it (because it still registers the mouse movement, but it takes a few ns longer to update) [18:38] Flannel, thanks for 660 -- his "error" was that wtmp wasnt found which is normal [18:38] yea i had a choice of ballistic or dominator [18:38] Flannel: thanks for the info [18:38] unop_: right, but not-writable causes problems (see the man page) [18:38] Allow me to rephrase: How can I enter umlauts with the keyboard? [18:38] with doninator i can use sli memory for extra performance lolz [18:38] SuperSayjin: gfx card on ur gaming rig? [18:38] magnetron, which tool could i use to back up my MBR table just in case? [18:39] my gaming rig has 1 ati 1900xtx [18:39] magnetron i understand that for backing up grub and my boot partition i should just use TAR and save it in other partition [18:39] cocox_: GRUB on the boot partition won't go away, its the half of grub (stage 1) that sits in the MBR that is the one that gets overwritten [18:40] cocox_: i've seen someone doing a raw copy with the use of dd, but i do not recommend it [18:40] sjovan, http://i28.tinypic.com/34pxpjl.jpg [18:40] has any one here had any experience with getting broadcom wireless cards to work? [18:40] Flannel, right and i didnt ask him to make it unwritable, infact my permissions were too liberal -- but when he chmodded /var/run/{utmp,wtmp} -- he got an error saying /var/run/wtmp not found, which is normal [18:40] chains_ [18:40] cool [18:40] i have, i needed to use ndiswrapper [18:40] guys anyone nows what else can I use instead of WINE? [18:41] nyarly_: you need to set putty to use UTF-8 [18:41] mitchell - vmware [18:41] haha [18:41] mitchell - or qemu [18:41] ill be back later cya peeps [18:41] unop_: you made it unwritable for group (750). I never said anything about the error [18:41] and instead of vmware [18:41] mitchell, crossover [18:41] mitchell: you could buy a copy of crossover [18:41] Flannel, magnetron ok, which tool would you recommend me to back up my mbr? besides dd [18:41] mitchell crossover and cedega, but they are proprietary [18:41] yes thats what I wanted [18:41] mitchell, openbox is good [18:41] magnetron, oh dang i bet you're right [18:41] Hello. I am running ubuntu-gutsy, and for some reason, after a mysql upgrade, innodb is disabled. The strange thing is that it's not disabled in the config file (skip-innodb is commented out) -- has anyone else seen this problem? [18:41] nyarly_: that looks just like finch to me... how did you get that screen bar down in the left corner? i wan't that too :) [18:41] which is the best? [18:42] !best [18:42] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [18:42] cocox_: i don't know any other way. i would just reinstall grub with a live cd after the XP install [18:42] magnetron ok thank yu [18:42] mitchell, I prefer vmware and openbox, but as the bot said, its personal preference [18:42] magnetron, you are my new diety of the minute man!! [18:43] but vmware is for a whole OS [18:43] Flannel if i want to enable it what is the commands? [18:43] i just need 2 progs to run from windows [18:43] smileypaul, im having problems getting ndiswrapper to work [18:43] Anyone here use HellaNzb??????? [18:43] sjovan, add this to your .screenrc "hardstatus alwayslastline "%{=b}%{G} Screen(s): %{b}%w %=%{kG}%C%A %D, %M/%d/%Y " [18:44] " [18:44] mitchell, wine or crossover then [18:44] nyarly_: take it easy. i just had the same problem as you [18:44] ok THANKS [18:44] well, those are the only options short of virtualization which you don't want [18:44] magnetron, lol thanks anyway man [18:45] nyarly_: cheers [18:45] Hi, how could I setup an static ip address in my pc? I've got kde 4 and I can not see an option to change from dhcp to an static ip, Is it possible via command line? [18:45] sjovan, here man, http://themurfman.is-a-geek.com/screen.php [18:45] lol Every webbrowser I use will take up 700+MB of memory over time; Opera,Firefox,Seamonkey,Epiphany. lol Can someone help with this issue? It's really annoying. [18:45] im using crossover for the first time today...im very impressed so far [18:45] Flannel: if i want to enable it what is the commands? [18:45] is-a-geek, that's dyndns! [18:45] rathel, use elinks [18:46] were can I get crossover from? [18:46] nyarly_: spanks allot :) but you showed me a screen of finch right? anyways... you know that you can alt+m to move windows. alt+r to re-size and stuff? [18:46] google crossover [18:46] ohh thats help [18:46] mitchell: codeweavers.com iirc. [18:46] nyarly_: thanx for that link. didn't know you could do stuff like that with screen. now i understand the point with nameing sessions :) [18:46] 69 bucks [18:46] sjovan, oh yeah the utf-8 thing really makes a difference though i might use finch now as well lol [18:46] for the proversion [18:47] i need to get a linksys wmp54g v4.1 wireless adapter working with ubuntu [18:47] any ideas? [18:47] smileypaul, do you remember what you had to do for ndiswrapper? becuase its not helping [18:47] !wifi [18:47] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:47] does anyone know how to make java work in firefox 3? I have it working fine in firefox 2, the plugins are installed, etc.; any thoughts? [18:47] you need to blacklist your wireless driver first [18:48] nyarly_: hehe... but how does that other prog look like? remember alt+l (if i remember correctly. haven't used it on putty for a while...) to refresh the look [18:48] then install the windows xp drivers in ndiswrapper and then modprobe it [18:49] irc://irc.eu.azzurra.org/dreamboxonline [18:49] anyone knows a link to a good howto for root encryption on Ubuntu 7.10?

Did not mean to patronize, just ask why you are willing to pay a big performance penalty by running the core system encrypted, too. But, sure, Tht's your choice [19:01] this is my cabel boot [19:01] er, windows [19:01] windows boot :-p [19:01] ayampanggang_: no I cant configure the buttons in that [19:01] KofiAnon, got a floppy or usb stick you can copy the text to?

I have a quick question regarding my video card. I have a NVidia 6200. It came up stating i needed to use restricted drivers. My question is if i use restricted drivers are these the most up to date drivers or am i better to download straight from Nvidia? [19:24] if it offers to give them to you via restricted drivers... there up to date [19:24] what is the command to view the arp cache? [19:24] Goose1984, i would d/l them straight from NVIDIA [19:25] Goose1984, you're better off using the restricted drivers.. much less of a pain and they work fine for the 6000 series card.. I have a 6600gt and it's great [19:25] Goose1984, up to you and your comfort level, [19:25] for Nvidia/ATI, I've found that EnvyNG works great [19:25] Goose1984, r u going to be running games and such? [19:25] !envy [19:25] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [19:25] Goose1984, if your new then use restricted until you get more comfortable [19:25] No but i will be running a media centre [19:26] Goose1984, now you have two different opinions.. as a first time user use the restriced drivers and later when you're comfortable you might attempt the binary from Nvidia [19:26] off topic... has enyone used the deluge torrent client? [19:26] Goose1984, h2os beat me to it. [19:26] if i do use NVidia do i just download them and go to a terminal and type sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run [19:26] Goose1984, just use the restricted drivers in the repository then [19:26] !ask [19:26] 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. :-) [19:26] Goose1984, the restriced drivers are nvidia drivers just not the latest and greatest for the newer cards. [19:27] Scunizi, 1333 clients, all blasting at once [19:27] :) [19:27] Goose1984, yeah switch to a termCTRL+ALT+F2 and then kill gdm and then run the installer [19:27] h2os> ?? what do you mean [19:27] h2os, just trying to increase my typing skills :) [19:28] lol [19:28] nyarly_, he just installed ubuntu and it's his first look at the operating system.. he has no idea what you're talking about. [19:28] <_maw> does anyone know if laptop button support is built into gnome/kde/xfce or is it an alsa feature or something? [19:28] how do you kill gdm [19:28] sudo killall gdm [19:28] you mean like brightness keys and mute/high/lower volume keys? [19:29] <_maw> lime_R0ll: yes [19:29] can anyone help me how to share using samba? [19:29] Scunizi, good point, Goose1984 use the restricted it will be fine [19:29] Goose1984, hit clt-alt-f2, login. run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed [19:29] <_maw> I had kubuntu installed, and the buttons automatically worked, I just installed xubuntu and the buttons dont work [19:29] Goose1984, back to square 1.. use the restricted drivers. later kill gdm and try installing the newest.. you won't miss anything with the restricted drivers and that video card.. all the special effects will work once they are turned on. [19:29] ethan961, why do you killall on gdm? i always stopped it through init.d [19:30] Either way [19:30] Im lazy sometimes [19:30] there is some basic support, and if you bttns arent found you can always map them with the keyboad shotcuts utility [19:30] I switched to the vga out on my laptop and now I have a big virtual screen but 640x480. can someone help me get the resolution higher? [19:30] ethan961, yours is quicker! ;) [19:30] Hi. I've always been able to see my windows machines fine in Nautilus, but I just installed samba to share a directory on the ubuntu machine. This worked - I can see the ubuntu machine from windows, but I can no longer see my windows shares in nautilus? Any ideas? Thanks [19:30] ok thanks i will have a go [19:31] Goose1984, welcome to the operating system of many options.. there's lots of ways to do everything [19:31] <_maw> lime_R0ll: ok thanks, I was just curious as KDE was "smart" and did it all for me [19:31] what file is it I need to edit to change dependencies of an installed program?

[19:34] how strange [19:34] I wonder why it worked without samba installed... [19:34] no but i believe there will be an option for secondary har disk or something and it will ind the key [19:35] chri1, Most but not all will allow you to boot from usb drive [19:35] or use syslinux [19:35] just checked and the windows machine is already DHCP [19:35] hhhmm maybe wait for the disk because i dont what format it would need to be on the disk\ [19:35] idk then [19:36] chri1, you could also load up vmware server for windows and then load a downloaded iso from there.. [19:36] Ubuntu is not recognizing my external hard drive [19:36] <_maw> lime_R0ll: do you know what the key utility package is called?

[19:46] ok, so after more investigation, it seems that I can connect to the windows shares if I use the IP address (smb://192.168.1.3), but not if I use the Windows name of the computer [19:46] the qt lib that has been replaced in the switch from an older debian/ubuntu version to the newer ones [19:47] stevendemorez, you mean when you compiled it? I'm assuming you compiled it. is that right? [19:48] How do i connect to my ubuntu machine via a windows machine.

[19:49] but I just had to re-install ubuntu and all types of grief due to other problems [19:49] stevendemorez, You know it is not a good idea to use debian repos for ubuntu.. correct?

[20:27] in nvidia-settings, there's a switch to turn the logo on [20:27] I ant find it [20:27] It froze for ages at various points... libpng was one and a few others [20:27] Tex-Twil: let me know if you need help findong th line [20:27] System monitor showed little activity on the CPUs. RAM was all over the place though... [20:28] Tex-Twil: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:28] yes [20:28] and then ?

Currently used the restore CD to go to Windows to run tests so i think all Linux stuff is gone.

[20:31] amenado - The install goes okay, but its all the updates afterwards. By limit i mean in the UK almost every ISP has a limit on your connection, e.g. 10GB a month [20:32] So cant download it here, but could at uni [20:32] chazco-> really? am glad am not in UK, all the pr0n downloads would surely hit limit in no time..hehe [20:33] amenado - Yep, so I'm trying to find out the issue beforehand [20:34] Does the Asus EEE come with UBUNTU? [20:34] chazco-> AOL limits you to 10gb each month eh? === jamesmk2003 is now known as orient2000 [20:34] j: no [20:34] which linux [20:35] ?

[21:13] linxeh, oh right, i was just going to suggest have a look in /etc/bash-completion < bradly , maybe you can draw from there [21:13] DefineKyleThyne, if that is in fact what's going on. [21:13] bradly, via tab completion? [21:14] unop: i'll check it out [21:14] yeah [21:14] Does anyone happen to know the command that is used when you are in gnome, and goto the power button - it brings up the menu with options to log off or reboot, shut down, etc?

[21:15] Does anyone happen to know the command that is used when you are in gnome, and goto the power button - it brings up the menu with options to log off or reboot, shut down, etc? [21:15] propdude, yes, i have tried open file > disk and then tried every file path imaginable [21:15] Are there any ubuntu distros that come with WINE and SAMBA pre-configured to work with windows apps and networks? [21:15] DefineKyleThyne, that is 20.4 megs resident and 133k x server memory [21:15] schmidt_, ask the guys in #ubuntu+1 [21:15] Scunizi: yeah mines sitting around there mmkay. [21:15] captainm, see in SUSE,which is what i'm using right now,there is IRC and a seperate kopete messenger,i can chat using kopete and IRC in different windows.you understand what i mean? [21:15] i mean, its sacrilidge but it'd be extremely popular sacrilidge if somebody would just get their butts out of their mouths and do it [21:16] oap_: Do you just want to shutdown and reboot? At command line it's #shutdown -Fr now [21:16] well i want the menu [21:16] propdude2000, http://limulus.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/playing-dvds-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ i think i found it [21:16] Nerd42, not all windows apps work under wine, and samba works out of the box (on ubuntu atleast) with windows networks [21:16] ah. ok [21:16] can anyone tell me how to fix my sound i hate having to use windows :( [21:16] spork969 oh [21:16] tole, you looking for different windows for each channel? in xchat? if so right click channel tab and choose "Detach" [21:16] language Nerd42 [21:16] unop so samba does come by default [21:16] cool. i didnt konw that [21:16] oap_: ok, sorry, dont' run gnome, so I dont' have anything to look at here ... [21:16] Nerd42, yes [21:16] *know [21:16] propdude2000, ill let you know if it works or not [21:17] what about WINE? [21:17] Nerd42 there is a distro based on wine. its called ReactOS [21:17] tole, I see. I personally use xchat for IRC and pidgin (the default messenger in gnome) for IM stuff but Pidgin can handle IRC too. [21:17] NickBurnsSNL, what about reboot, just sudo reboot? [21:17] Last I heard reactOS wasn't finished [21:17] has that changed? [21:17] Nerd42 no, it hasn't [21:17] Nerd42, wine isnt afaik, but it can be installed with the click of a few buttons [21:17] Nerd42: it is still in alpoha [21:17] oap_: yep, that will do it as well .. [21:17] *alpha [21:17] some knoppix distros come with wime and samba perconfigured [21:18] cant think of any ubuntu distro [21:18] oap_: or, for yet *another* command sudo init 6 ;) [21:18] man i want reatOS. it'll prolly overshadow ubuntu in terms of popularity if it ever gets anywhere as far as working [21:18] :> [21:18] how do i do the fire effect? [21:18] oap_: init 6 = reboot, init 0 = shutdown, and this is very fast ... [21:18] with a lighter [21:18] i did alt+windows and it did some weird thing [21:18] halt [21:19] NickBurnsSNL, well im running fluxbox/idesk and im trying to make the reboot button point to a command to reboot. [21:19] Nerd42, if you really want all your windows applications to run, you can run them under vmware [21:19] gev: try shift-windows [21:19] NickBurnsSNL, so just command sudo init 6? [21:19] oap_: gotcha .. well, that command will do it for sure [21:19] unop_, *bleh* huge waste of system resources to virtualize when you can just support [21:20] captainm,en how does one install xchat? [21:20] anyway i havent got a good enough computer ot be doin that all the time [21:20] psychocat doesnt work [21:20] Server FreeNode [21:20] tole, applications > Add/ Remove... [21:20] captainm, xchat will be there? [21:21] Nerd42, that might be so, but it DOESN'T support atm, so it's effectively not as good as VM [21:21] Hey people,, type =GAME("StarWars") in OpenOffice Datasheet.. [21:21] Nerd42, if you want guaranteed operation for your windows applications, the only way is to run windows :) [21:21] Nerd42: I doubt ReactOS will ever get that far. :/ [21:21] phenom: dude! thats' awesome ... [21:21] NickBurnsSNL, Isn't it? [21:22] tole, jup [21:22] phenom: hehe ... *just* after Easter too, cool! [21:22] phenom WOW [21:22] Afternoon. anyone had problemns with the theme selector? It's maxingmy cpu and the customise dialog is blank. [21:22] unop_: Not all Windows programs will run under vmware, afaik. [21:22] unop_ yeah I don't expect that. I just expect to be able to run Halo and most popular regular stuff [21:22] captainm, thanks alot [21:22] oap_, you could put this command in one of your fluxbox/idesk launchers -- gksudo $(zenity --list --column "action" "poweroff" "reboot") [21:23] zenity? [21:23] i'm not here to flame really i'm just kinda thinking out loud [21:23] Kuwanger, and why would an app not run under vmware? [21:23] so sorry if it seems like i'm being rude [21:23] Nerd42: Perhaps when X and ReactOS can share the same driver code. [21:23] phenom: ! now, copy it to another cell .. see what you get ;) [21:24] oap_, run this to see what it does -- zenity --list --column "action" "poweroff" "reboot" [21:24] heh [21:24] :P [21:24] Hi all [21:24] Where can I go to find a bunch of open source linux projects to help out with?

I've tried to do a clean install several times, and each time the system has been destroyed when attempting to install the massive amount of updates Gusty requires after a clean install. And on the latest attempt, the installer crashes when i try to create the partitions! I've check the CD and the hardware and all seem to be fine... any ideas? [21:53] Great. Thanks guys. Now my wife's account is running flash just like mine. I just moved my plugins folder out to /usr/local/share, and created a symbolic link for both of us. I also adjusted the group, so we both have edit power. === miip_ is now known as miip [21:53] I don't know about that flashplugin-nonfree package, but it doesn't install correctly. It fails on download at the stage of md5 checksum.

[21:55] Hardy is released, not a beta, right? does it use a firefox beta by default on purpose? [21:55] what?

[21:55] oh, I thought Hardy was released already [21:55] Nah, not yet [21:55] Mid April is the target [21:55] err [21:56] Wasn't there a Slashdot article about that? Or was that April fools? [21:56] June [21:56] so what happens if FF3 isnt out of beta when Hardy comes out of beta? Do they go back to 2.x FF? [21:56] pastebinit the ubuntu CLI pastebin?

[21:58] not a GUI [21:58] Since Gusty has broken for no obvious reason i may try Hardy, but am wary of running it on a live machine.

[22:24] oh ok cool.. i actually like being beeped because then i know if someone is replying (i can read something else in the meantime) hehe thanks [22:24] Kuwanger: software updates only go into HArdy [22:24] jpatrick: Um, this is a security update. [22:24] still says the same thing even after that command [22:24] Kuwanger: ah, right [22:24] mneptok: nop [22:24] unop_: is it supposed to take a really long time ?? [22:24] anyone know how i can set a user/pw in pureftpd? [22:24] jpatrick: backports and proposed (the last one sometimes dangerous) ?? [22:25] crackerjackz: Were there any error messages? [22:25] erUSUL: proposed is testing updates, yes [22:25] no [22:25] it went straight back to the command line [22:25] crackerjackz: whats the original problem? Is Adept frozen? Is it still running? [22:25] mneptok: Just think the firefox 2 should leave officially for the dapper! [22:25] Teoz, oh yes, you can go out for a couple of hours atleast [22:25] Teoz, how man gigabytes of data? [22:25] many* [22:25] hi all-I tried reinstalling ubuntu, now i have two ubuntu's at startup... how can i erase the old one easily?

[22:26] unop something like 6000 [22:26] erUSUL: we'd new put new releases in -proposed [22:26] i opened up add/remove programs and searched for audacious it began downloading packages and it was right at the end 2 of them failed i pressed ok and add/remove had hourglass over it but wasent responding so i did xkill on it [22:26] maybe it wasnt the best idea I had to checksum that big of a thing :P [22:26] erUSUL: and I am an Ubuntu Backporter [22:26] crackerjackz: ok, then what? [22:26] what does /ctcp do? [22:26] then i opened add/remove programs back up and searched audacious again and it gives me the error [22:26] Teoz, yea, i'd say atleast a couple of hours [22:26] applecucumber: DON'T do it [22:27] another synaptic is runinng [22:27] oh ok [22:27] i was just reading a list of irc commands-- didnt know what it did [22:27] anyone know how i can set a user/pw in pureftpd? [22:27] jpatrick: I specifically speaking of this: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2008/02/14/9-26-coming-soon [22:27] unop: craaaaaaaaaaazy duuuuuuuude... all right then.. well, I am guessing there is no other shorter way.. oh yeah, do you have any of where Ubuntu stores the commands it accepts in the Terminal ? [22:27] applecucumber if you wanna see what /ctcp does test it on your self [22:27] Teoz, well, maybe it wasnt a good idea, but errm, if it has to be verified, it has to be [22:27] applecucumber: well, I really don't recommend it at all [22:27] ?? [22:28] !guidelines > applecucumber [22:28] unop: like, the "cat" command or the "md5sum" command ? [22:28] crackerjackz, did you try killall synaptic [22:28] wow [22:28] Teoz, there are faster ways, but less reliable -- command history is in ~/.bash_history [22:28] i need some serious help oplease [22:28] |am [22:28] Does anyone know if there has been any enhancements to the install time disk encryption from 7.10 to 8.04? [22:28] err, +am [22:28] thesurvivorman no i have no [22:28] i will try that [22:28] just installed ubuntu 5.2 [22:28] or some crap [22:28] oh god, irssi on #ubuntu for 4 hours [22:28] and i cant install nothing [22:28] SO MUCH SCROLLING [22:28] unop: that does, tell size ? [22:28] PGUP [22:28] Teoz, you could use md5sum in place of sha1sum and the command will still work, it will only be marginally faster tho and could be less reliable [22:29] anyone help me please [22:29] hey guys, I'm trying to import my /home/username folder with all my desktop settings onto a new computer. I'm able to import it fine; however, when gdm loads, it loads the default desktop, and not the one with all my customizations. Anyone know why? [22:29] Kuwanger: I see. [22:29] i think that worked [22:29] Teoz, errm, tell size?? [22:29] thesurvivorman thanks =] [22:29] YO I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP [22:29] EAT IT [22:29] np crackerjackz [22:29] unop: I mean, does it only confirm the size of the folder/files it wrote down ? I am just wondering what the history stores [22:30] how do i install thigns? [22:30] i have a alienware 7500 and i need my drivers installed [22:30] upgraded from vista [22:30] hi , any roboform alternative for ubuntu ? [22:30] why is internet so slow on ubuntu [22:30] does anybody know how you would make a shell script to shutdown your computer after dpkg finishes after a apt upgrade [22:30] Teoz, it computes the sha1 sum of the file .. the output is destined to /tmp/source and /tmp/dest [22:31] sanzanric: dpkg ... && shutdown -h now? [22:31] grinder what "things" do you need to install? [22:31] unop: cool good to know, thanks, also I am still curious :P, where does Ubuntu store the commands that Terminal accepts ? [22:32] Teoz: /usr/bin [22:32] sanzanric, sudo sh -c "dpkg ... && poweroff" [22:32] ;p [22:32] Teoz, if you use bash (which is default) history goes in ~/.bash_history [22:32] Kuwanger, while that works on the cmd line, what if did some updates thru synaptic [22:33] rawr [22:33] im going insane [22:33] please hlpe [22:33] sanzanric: Then..not much can be done, since I don't think synaptic can be set to close after applying updates. :/ [22:33] i need help ... how can i write bin file direct to dvd [22:33] i need help ... how can i write bin file direct to dvd [22:33] ugh for fuck sakes. [22:33] language grinder [22:34] Kuwanger: what about upstart, isn't it able to do something like this [22:34] grinder, ask a question to the room . [22:34] unop: thanks for the answer ! [22:34] sanzanric: Hmm? [22:34] jeffMASTERflex: thanks also ! [22:34] can anyone tell me what the correct location is for configuring system wide environment variables? equiv of /etc/profile.d/ on RH and derivatives [22:34] anteaya- Hey i fixed i changed to oss mixer then added mic select and selected mic 2 it works great in teamspeak now [22:34] emja, /etc/profile [22:34] Noname: beaut. well done [22:35] sanzanric: How would upstart help? [22:35] unop: dang. so no *.d dir. [22:35] anteaya: Hey i fixed i changed to oss mixer then added mic select and selected mic 2 it works great in teamspeak now [22:35] I'm confused - am I supposed to use the drivers that come in synaptics or should I download drivers directly from NVidia for my GeForce? [22:35] (or are they the same?) [22:35] ALGUEM BRASILEIRO AQUI? [22:35] unop: thx [22:35] just wanted to make sure he/she sees it [22:35] Noname: thank you for sharing that [22:35] emja, /etc/profile is a file, it's used across many shells -- you can put bash specific ones in /etc/bash.bashrc [22:35] mobodo: synaptic [22:35] no prob good luck [22:35] mobodo, i used the ones from synatic [22:35] mobodo: i'd do it via synaptic [22:36] Kuwanger: i don't really know anything about upstart, but i've read this linux.com article on how you could specify events on other events [22:36] Noname: I saw and thank you [22:36] ALGUEM DO BRASIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLL AKI? [22:36] mobodo: or you can use the restricted drivers manager [22:36] using upstart [22:36] Noname: and to you [22:36] i need help ... how can i write bin file direct to dvd ? [22:36] sanzanric: Right, but that means generating events. [22:36] islandex: #ubuntu-br / #ubuntu-pt [22:36] ok, and then I have the normal drivers and the "new" drivers...? [22:36] unop: yep, understood. I was hoping that I didn't have to plonk everything in the same file though. ;-) [22:36] islandex: opa [22:36] sanzanric: The issue is, synaptic doesn't generate events (AFAIK). So, you'd have to modify synaptic to generate events. [22:36] gmenelau, can you copy the files to the dvd and burn it? [22:36] islandex: vai para o #ubuntu-br [22:36] mobodo: no idea [22:36] Hi, I have installed Xfce on my Ubuntu (Gnome) machine but when I choose "Xfce" session then it creates a new (empty) desktop. How can I transfer my files (desktop also) exactly onto the Xfce session ? [22:37] Kuwanger: so would that require modifying dpkg to send a event [22:37] isn't there a nero for linux [22:37] Hello, does anyone randomly receive the "gdm[5427]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0" when running Firefox? [22:37] sap: did you install xubuntu? [22:37] hi...when i boot my computer x wont start, i just get an error that says "no devices found" can someone please help me trouble shoot this? [22:37] applecucumber yes [22:37] sanzanric: No, it'd require modifying synaptic. [22:37] under the places tab, there is also a cd/dvd creator [22:37] Kuwanger: ah, well thanks! [22:37] sap, it should have transferred, but maybe xfce doesn't show icons on the desktop by default [22:37] applecucumber no i cant do that [22:37] emja, no . I've been using ubuntu (gnome) but I installed just the xfce desktop now [22:38] sanzanric: Although you could modify dpkg instead.. But, if you're using dpkg, you could just use the && poweroff. [22:38] emja, i suspect RH uses a /etc/profile (since its standard) .. and uses that to source files from /etc/profile.d/ .. you can do the same on ubuntu, sure -- just include this into /etc/profile - for i in /etc/profile.d/*; do source $i; done [22:38] sap: I would have installed xubuntu-desktop *on* ubuntu, integration might be better [22:38] what happens when you try burning the file? === [NNUser] is now known as ike_x [22:38] thesurvivorman, so how do i transfer or make it show? [22:38] use sudo apt-get install bchunk to burn a BIN file [22:38] unop: of course. simple, and efective solution. many thanks! [22:38] sanzanric: The simplest answer, btw, would be to add an option to synaptic to allow you to make it auto-close when it's done. [22:38] it'll convert the bin to an iso file [22:38] is there an app I can use to convert and burn a video file to a dvd readable in a dvd player? === paul__ is now known as qwazz [22:39] sanzanric: Then you could use synaptic in the same form. [22:39] Kuwanger: i was thinking if you modified dpkg, synaptic would automatically get the benefits from it, since it uses it as a sub-process [22:39] i got disconnected. Could someone help me troubleshoot the "no devices found" error when trying to startx? [22:39] !dvd [22:39] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [22:39] rinaldi: convertXtoDVD works under wine [22:39] applecucumber there is a big ? in the icon [22:39] Kuwanger: or am i wrong here [22:39] emja, so is xubuntu-desktop different that installing xfce-desktop? I'm not sure which one I installed but the desktop in xfce session is empty / [22:39] found a website for bchunk: http://he.fi/bchunk/ .. bout burning bin to cd [22:40] sanzanric: Well, are you planning this modification for just your benefit? [22:40] what I don't understand is that when I try to install the nvidia-settings package, it wants to uninstall the nvidia-glx package and vice-versa [22:40] sap: ok, sorry. we might be talking about the same pkg. === Piffer_ is now known as Piffer [22:40] emja, yeah it was in the repos [22:41] sap: beaut, then you're on the right track. someone else said your problem migth be that icons are simply not displaying. it could be a config option in xfce to enable such [22:41] Kuwanger: no, well maybe, if i could learn more C in order to hack dpkg a little === b0xxy is now known as b0x [22:41] sap: sorry, can't help further. I don't use xfce [22:41] sanzanric: Well, upstart isn't used by all distros that use dpkg. [22:41] i got disconnected. Could someone help me troubleshoot the "no devices found" error when trying to startx? [22:42] emja, no probs.. think thesurvivorman may have something .. he's checkin :) === Piffer_ is now known as Piffer [22:42] sanzanric: Nor is synpatic, but synaptic is more ubuntu-oriented. [22:42] unop: genius. worked a treat [22:42] Kuwanger: i've heard that debian is going to be using upstart [22:42] sanzanric: More importantly, there are a lot of tools that use dpkg. The lower down you make the modification, the more work you're going to have to make sure things don't break with various tools. [22:43] Is there an equivalent to CTRL-TAB (in firefox) for gnome-terminal? CTRL-TAB just goes to the next tab. [22:43] I have a novel problem. I had a dual boot set up on a HP laptop with Vista and Ubuntu. Somehow Vista got deleted/re-installed badly. Here is the problem I cannot re-install Vista while there is a Linux partition but I cannot boot the HP recovery partition without GRUB which can only be found in a Linux partition Linux partition. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. Thanks.

[22:45] sanzanric: I see. I'm not sure how events work with upstart, btw. [22:45] I NEED SOME HELP [22:45] sanzanric: From the description, "Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running."

[22:45] i new to ubuntu [22:45] How do i give a user access to everything (like root has) ? :) [22:45] i dont know how to isntall at all [22:45] Kuwanger: you see, if i install twenty packages before i go a sleep i would like my computer to turn off automatically afterwards [22:46] sanzanric: I'm not sure exactly what this "supervising" entails. [22:46] i had to change my hardware, specificaly the motherboard, and i've a full installation of ubuntu but for the original motherboard, i have to do again all the installation steps from the beginning, or i just have to recompile the kernel?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:46] sanzanric: One really cheap idea would involve using cron and a script. [22:47] what isn't working grinder. you more than likely will not use the install disk for anything, maybe wireless drivers. [22:47] Kuwanger: yes, thats what got me started, cron [22:47] What isn't working? [22:47] sanzanric: Once a minute, the script would run and check if dpkg is running. If it isn't, it'd delete itself and shutdown. [22:47] grinder: ah, Linux doesn't use .exe. We have many free and open source equivalents to the Windows programs. If you absolutely need to run a .exe, You'll want !wine [22:47] no sound [22:47] i need my nvidia drivers towork [22:47] also [22:47] thesurvivorman, hmm.. weird.. all the desktop icons are available now.. but all jumbled up . .

Things seem slow [22:48] #ubuntu+1 [22:48] thanks [22:48] sanzanric: I mean, what happens if the update fails? [22:48] grinder: Is the download complete? Are you currently running Windows or Ubuntu? [22:49] couldnt you just look for a error return code of 0 or nonzero? [22:49] Kuwanger: yes, and dpkg never starts [22:49] ubuntu I hate windows [22:49] FFVV, you shouldnt really do that, hows that for a rephrase? :) [22:49] i want to upgrade from 5.10 to 7.10 i have dl it. and it completed [22:49] sitting on the desktop [22:49] anyone know what happened to the compiz snow plugin? [22:49] and i cant seem to open it.. cuz its a .bin file [22:49] it's spring [22:49] but its snowing outside [22:49] sanzanric: I was thinking much worse, like you setting it up to ignore errors downloading and it grabbing a new kernel but not new modules. [22:49] grinder: ok, wait. Did you download the ubuntu 7.10 iso? [22:50] yes [22:50] ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [22:50] then burn it to a disk [22:50] grinder: ok, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#head-41d485cd1f4a2902492b7e5dcc1991af2ec8f564 [22:50] Oo. [22:50] and boot with that disk [22:50] i cant brun nothing [22:50] cant read no drivers.

[22:51] yeah of course. [22:51] why can you not burn then? [22:51] does you cd drive have writer ? [22:51] Is there a way to get each chan its own window using Pidgin? [22:51] i installed ubuntu from a disk but when i tried it said use the acpi [22:51] [22:49:17] FFVV, you shouldnt really do that, hows that for a rephrase? :) <-- I need to upload some files to some folders only root has access to, pureftp wont let u login as root.. so what else can i do? [22:51] sanzanric: Well, have fun learning about upstart and dpkg. [22:51] Kuwanger: hum, yes that does sound bad. OTOH a user should never have it ignore errors === max` is now known as max [22:52] sanzanric: Yes, but then most users don't want their machine to not shutdown, either. :/ [22:52] hda intel gutsy ? [22:52] so i just want to update from 5.10 to 7.10 i cant use a image mounter? [22:52] FFW, did you try running it in the terminal: sudo pureftp? [22:52] FFVV: ouch, don't do that. change the group ownership of that directory to say "uploaders", make it group writeable, and add the uploading user to the "uploaders" group [22:52] FFVV, modify the permissions on the folder so you have write access in? or add yourself to the same group that the pureftp's user is member of [22:52] like power iso [22:52] sanzanric: And sometimes, not shutting down is the best course of action. [22:52] ubotu hda intel [22:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:52] Kuwanger: Thanks, but before you leave i think you should read http://www.linux.com/articles/57213 [22:52] ubotu hda [22:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:53] grinder did you try sudo apt-get update in a terminal? [22:53] ubotu hda_intel [22:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda_intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:53] thesurvivorman, i don't thin pureftpd needs to be run as sudo [22:53] thibk* [22:53] no [22:53] grinder then sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal? [22:53] let me try that [22:53] think* arrgh [22:53] grinder: The quickest thing is probably to completely reinstall, otherwise you'd have to run 4 seperate upgrades. [22:53] Kuwanger: actually, what would be best is if my computer suspended [22:53] Administrador: he wants to go from 5.10 to 7.10, not going to work [22:53] hi [22:53] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:53] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [22:54] how do i open a folder with root so i can copy files over to it? [22:54] sudo apt-get upgrade [22:54] anybody know the command to open the working terminal directory up in a file browser [22:54] grinder: close synaptic / Add/Remove programs [22:54] xb3rt: probably "nautilus `pwd`" [22:54] sanzanric: My computer doesn't seem to support suspend (or at least, I don't know how to make it suspend)...

[22:55] grinder: Do you have any documents/music/files you want to keep on the computer at the moment? [22:56] no nothing [22:56] jtravnick, in a terminal type in sudo nautilus [22:56] i lost everything last night [22:56] so nothing to lose. [22:56] nael thanks will write that down [22:56] grinder: ok. Then what you should do is completely reinstall, except using the 7.10 CD. Its as quick and painless as it gets [22:56] Kuwanger: But linux isn't very predictable when it comes to actually suspending, so making a public program like that would kinda be stupid [22:56] wowo [22:56] i dont have the 7.10 [22:56] cd [22:56] so i cant just run it. [22:57] hi all [22:57] i just dl power iso [22:57] jtravnick, no problem man [22:57] if i can get that installed. [22:57] sanzanric: Well, you just have to wait for some distro (hopefully Ubuntu) to nail software based suspend and you're set. [22:57] ok i open the poweriso-1.2.tar.gz (what ever that is) [22:57] anyone know how I can figure what is wrong with my usb-serial port [22:58] grinder: take the iso, burn it to a blank CD by following the link I gave you. Reboot and follow the instructions from !install. PowerISO will *not* work [22:58] and poweriso is in there [22:58] i double click [22:58] and a open files gui pops up what do i do from there? [22:58] ugh [22:58] ok [22:58] install from cd [22:58] grinder go to a friend house to burn that iso [22:58] it doesn't do what you need it to. Please follow the instructions I just gave you.. [22:58] time to go upstairs [22:58] Administrador: he has a CD burner, he just doesn't want to burn it from the looks of it [22:58] brb [22:58] bbl [22:59] Any tricks to get Karma to compile on Ubuntu 7.10? (Karma wireless tool) [22:59] hi everyone [22:59] grinder, whatever it is you are trying to say. It will be better understood by others if you keep it on one line [22:59] grinder: ok, have fun. Poke me if you have any more issues [22:59] Does anyone have some good links for begginer programing in linux? [22:59] Kuwanger: yes, hopefully ubuntu devs can someday do that. Personally, the single biggest issue with linux is hw support. If linux could support all my hardware automagically better than windows i wouldn't even think about using windows. [23:00] xb3rt, what kind of programming tho? [23:00] xb3rt-> which language? [23:00] * sixforty 'd like a few suggestions for good IRC client [23:00] hi, can anyone help me figuring out a problem related to realtime scheduling? It's driving me crazy... [23:00] ryanakca mmm :S [23:00] sixforty: irssi if you're more advanced, Konversation under KDE, X-Chat under GNOME [23:00] you can use Chatzilla for firefox [23:00] unop: amenado: just scripts for the terminal basically [23:00] sanzanric, buy hardware that is supported... [23:00] is there an app in ubuntu that can play .mov files? [23:00] sixforty: irssi is my personal favorite. But that discussion is probably best suited for #ubuntu-offtopic [23:00] sanzanric, that is a function of the hardware vendors and thier closed source drivers. It takes time to reverse engineer them [23:00] sixforty: pidgin seems to work fine [23:01] xb3rt, tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html [23:01] unop: amenado: what would i use to make my own software?

[23:01] Jack_Sparrow: NO, build software that works with my hardware [23:01] sanzanric: how do I get chans in seperate windows? (and thx 2 all) [23:01] xb3rt it depends ... free books http://tldp.org/guides.html [23:01] unop: Vb [23:01] sanzanric, that isnt how it works.. do you have a support question. [23:02] Any good FTP applications for Ubuntu? [23:02] xb3rt, you'll probably like programming in mono -- its like c# [23:02] but then I do 'chrt -f 99 bash' and get permission denied [23:02] it works as root, but not as 'efti' [23:02] xb3rt software to do what for you? [23:02] xb3rt, http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2007/09/05/68-linux-related-free-e-books/ [23:02] salah, lftp [23:02] sixforty try dragging it out of the tabbed window [23:02] salah, I tried http://filezilla-project.org/ its working great for me [23:02] amenado: i just want something to play around with [23:03] nyarly_, does it have GUI? [23:03] nagappan, thanks, i'll take a look [23:03] salah, nope cli [23:03] Jack_Sparrow: No i don't have a support question, but you see the only way to get users is to make Software that supports the Users Hardware [23:03] salah, sure [23:03] I second filezilla [23:03] sanzanric, then please take your discussion to the offtopic room thanks [23:04] salah, filezilla is nice [23:04] talked to a linux guru onthe phone [23:04] he said for me to use isobuster. [23:04] a linux program [23:04] SixForty: i think you can pull off the tabs to make new windows [23:04] xb3rt, i'd say get acquainted with mono first - and then pick up on doing the more mundane stuff [23:04] xb3rt thats pretty broad, if you want sys admin functionality, use bash or python, python has similarities to vb in terms of object oriented [23:05] ah! thx [23:05] everytime a change some hardware piece such as a NIC, graphic card, Memory show i recompile kernel? [23:05] *should [23:05] can i run the iso from my external hdd? [23:05] allo [23:06] grinder-> do you currently have linux installed? which version and distro? [23:06] !iso | grinder [23:06] grinder: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [23:06] grinder the iso must be run from a cd or dvd as the computer boots in order to install ubuntu [23:06] 5.10 want to goto 7.10 === WildcatVKR is now known as CorbenDallas [23:06] byte_slave, that shouldnt be necessary as long as you can load modules for the various hardware [23:07] grinder ahh i got a solution for you.. you can make a copy of that liveCD iso unto a hd and boot it from hd.. [23:07] hi [23:07] are you able to reach www.google.com [23:07] ok [23:07] u have msn or anything? [23:07] grinder then you can add entries to your current menu.lst to point to your copy of livecd in the hd [23:08] or pm me please [23:08] hello does anyone know of an encryption toll in ubuntu that is capable of encrypting the whole Hard drive but obviously be able to boot up i had one in windows that had a special password protected boot loader that encrypted the whole hard drive. [23:08] google seems down [23:08] grinder nope, do it here on the main [23:08] Guilo: it's not, check your connection [23:08] ugh ok. [23:08] google is up [23:08] unop, the "load modules"" should be automaticaaly or should i do something? [23:08] google is up [23:08] I like my grinder toasted...you?

[23:08] thankyou nyarly_ [23:08] lol [23:09] grilled...that's a panni [23:09] grinder take notes...which iso do you have? alternate or the livecd 7.10 ? [23:09] or you could just request an install disk from ubuntu, or wait for the next version out next month. [23:09] byte_slave, it's standard - why are you recompiling the kernel anyway? [23:09] i dl it [23:09] i have 5.10 [23:09] right now [23:09] grinder: you need to burn an iso? [23:09] well thats the problem [23:09] i just installed it. [23:09] cuz im tired of windows. [23:09] and none of my drivers work [23:09] grinder ahh, so you have 5.10 installed? very good [23:09] ahh [23:09] being im on a alienware 7500 [23:10] yes [23:10] im on 5.10 [23:10] where would I find the post-config script for a package I installed thru apt? [23:10] wanting to update to 7.10 [23:10] I haven't ran linux since slackware...Ubuntu is a breeze compared to slack [23:10] when installing linux-headers, the uname -r, do I enter that, or do I replace uname with something else? [23:10] grinder, were you able to download the 7.10 iso, and burn it to a cd? [23:10] ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [23:10] grinder you must download the 7.10 iso, dont go through the upgrade process...too many steps.. [23:10] no [23:10] i cant burn to a cd [23:10] is what is dl [23:10] do you have a cd burner? [23:11] and on my desktop [23:11] ahh...you're cd drivers are dead, right? [23:11] idk [23:11] it read my cd rom [23:11] and has all my alienware drivers on it. [23:11] i feel like sucha noob again [23:11] ok I have a free iso burner app if you want it [23:11] im a IT tech to :( [23:11] brett_h, post-install script you mean? [23:11] does your cd drive have cd r+w? [23:11] yes [23:11] unop: yeah, sorry [23:11] its a dvd burner [23:11] ehem.. no need to burn the iso to a cd, one can boot from an existing linux..making a copy of the iso into an ext2 partition or fat16 [23:11] unop: like whatever would initialize a cluster for postgres, etc [23:12] and it wont burn the iso to cd? [23:12] unop, i'm newbie i didn't know if i should or not recompile it. And how about a major hardware change, such as a motherboard ? what should i do, because linux won't start in a good manel, lots of problems with irqs [23:12] http://www.photoshop.com/express [23:12] i can try [23:12] let me go get blank cd [23:12] try burning iso to cd.. see if it works [23:12] brett_h, /var/lib/dpkg/info [23:12] unop: thanks [23:12] worst case grinder, you can get free disks shipped to you here: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [23:12] applecucumber-> there are ways to boot an iso from a hard disk, assuming ones has an existing linux working.. [23:13] cool [23:13] byte_slave, if you've just changed a motherboard, you could probably just reinstall the kernel package from within a liveCD [23:13] worst case, download DSL, put it on a 2 gig USB drive, boot into it and use it to burn the ISO :D [23:13] kk [23:13] igot blank cd [23:13] unop, and the whole already setup system stills working? apache, mysql, etc?

[23:23] no im still on that stage. i draged the image iso file onto the disk and pressed write to disk and this option came up. [23:24] you need to burn it from image [23:24] create disk containing a single disk image file? it appears that the dis when created will contain a single disk image file do you want to continue and write it to the disk as a file? [23:24] how do I tell a package to run it's install scripts as if it were just installed? [23:24] yes image [23:24] and the options are Create From Image, Cancel, Create With File [23:24] create from image [23:24] i got a error [23:25] no such file or directory [23:25] does http://macbook.gotdns.org:82 work ?

[23:38] ader10_: I should think: xrandr -s 1152x864 -r 60 [23:38] Positronic:how do i do that? [23:38] geirha: Thank you. [23:38] meaning you have your virtual diks gziped? - << Kuwanger < [23:38] ichat: No, no. Although I probably could do that. [23:38] TheKiNGMike: the 'kill' command [23:38] to kill process, type top, then press k, and enter the number [23:38] ry [23:38] *ty [23:38] nael okay, then you can assist someone else. [23:38] than what DID you gzip> [23:38] of the process [23:38] pharoh: You should see the desktop manager in the bottom right corner of your screen (it will look like 2 orange squares). Right click, choose preferences, and change to "4" (no quotes [23:39] I have, and I will help anyone I can [23:39] ichat: I have a directory full of gzipped files, becase zlibc can be used as a library preload under linux to access gzipped as non-gzipped files. [23:39] geirha: It works, but it sends me to the login screen. When I log in, the resolution is automatically reset too high again [23:39] Positronic:whoa!!!!cool. [23:39] :) [23:39] nael cool, and nice [23:40] If you like, you can experiment and change it to other numbers [23:40] geirha: Is there a way I can do it and keep my current gnome session? [23:40] anyone knows what is the installation directory of firefox? [23:40] ichat: With wine, it's as easy as "LD_PRELOAD=uncompress.so wine ". But, "LD_PRELOAD=uncompress.so virtualbox" won't work. [23:40] whoa..even better! [23:40] Kuwanger: - how do they relate to virtuabox ??? than - [23:41] ader10_: system -> preferences -> resolution, you should be able to set the default resolution there. Alternatively, you can remove the modes that are too high from xorg.conf [23:41] ichat: However, "LD_PRELOAD=uncompress.so rofs dir_full_of_gzips dir_full_of_ungzipped_files" then using the second dir... [23:41] geirha: No, I did system>pref>resolution and accidentally set it too high, I have no gui right now [23:41] niceeeee [23:41] amenado, Ubuntu has been very kind to me over all I want to give what I can back [23:42] ichat: Virtualbox is one of the few apps that seems to use system calls instead of library calls that zlibc can override. [23:42] abo, /etc/firefox I think thts it [23:42] Positronic:how do i get my ubuntu to play video and mp3? [23:42] thanks nael [23:42] ader10_: Log in to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1) and run: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s... [23:42] For an easy way to install codecs and plugins you may consider using Automatix2 [23:42] ichat: So, I tricked a fuse filesystem to decompress files for me so even system-call running apps works. [23:42] abo, your welcome [23:43] ader10_: then go back with CTRL+ALT+F7 or 8 or 9 or whichever console your X is running on [23:43] geirha: I tried something similar but not the exact same thing. Hold on one minute. [23:43] hi how do I install with CPan this =>> WWW::Mechanize [23:43] pharoh: Type: sudo apt-get install automatix2 [23:43] In terminal [23:43] And then access it in Applicans > System Tools > Automatix [23:43] geirha: just fyi I'm already in virtual terminal f1 on irssi :) [23:43] !automatix [23:43] Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [23:44] that can sirriously trim down the size of your virtualbox v-disks :P [23:44] Sometimes when I boot fsck says that my root partition was not cleanly unmounted, even though I restarted/shut down with the normal way in gnome, what logs should I look at to see what could be causing that? [23:44] ichat: Yea..that could..but that's pretty crazy. :) [23:44] ubotu:so wat do u suugest i do? [23:45] true [23:45] Whats the configuration app for compiz [23:45] ichat: You'd be better off using one of the fuse filesystem tools that offers a custom compression to allow at least some semblance of random access. [23:45] hahahahha [23:45] can you install psybnc on ubuntu? [23:45] amenado:so wat player can i use? [23:45] ichat: Far as I'm aware, at least a few use a form of block compression. [23:46] it is completed [23:46] ok [23:46] ..... [23:46] so just restart my pc [23:46] and it should install it? [23:46] REDLiNE: you might need to build it from source if it isn't in the repositiories [23:46] how can load the script to show my hardware/os? [23:46] pharoh-> i dont know, im just pointing out that usage of automatix may get your system unstable and unsupported [23:46] Starnestommy how can i tell if it is? [23:46] REDLiNE: aptitude search psybnc [23:47] :~/psybnc$ ./configure [23:47] esd_vm-> you wrote your own? just execute it then [23:47] ok [23:47] maybe beter to minimize disk needance instead of max the crompression :P [23:47] hemm [23:47] -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [23:47] so i had this problem [23:47] nah i want the default [23:47] thats what i get [23:47] when i was installing [23:47] geirha: :( Every time I run that command and log in again the resolution gets reset back to the bad resolution [23:47] the acpi=off [23:47] grinder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:47] i had to run that [23:47] amenado:what do you use,i just wanna be able to play video and mp3,i don't care what player it is lond as its stable [23:47] REDLiNE: could you please pastebin the output of "ls ~/psybnc"? [23:47] ichat: Btw, the directory in question has 738MB worth of gzip files. That's why I didn't just decompress them. [23:47] esd_vm-> several tools, lshw lspci lsusb [23:47] apple u still around? [23:47] ya [23:47] does a fresh install of ubuntu have a firewall already installed? [23:47] ok [23:47] pharoh-> i dont have sound so i cant say mine works [23:48] Yikes [23:48] ader10_: yes, but after changing the res with xrandr, are you not able to go to system-prefs-resolution to set it to a better value? [23:48] its one line [23:48] when i was installing yesterday [23:48] i had a problem that was acpi [23:48] amenado:ahh.ok [23:48] Starnestommy: -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [23:48] is ubuntu based on windows? [23:48] amenado that default that os/cpu/mem etc,, [23:48] = off [23:48] no ubuntu is based on linux [23:48] REDLiNE: what files are in ~/psybnc? [23:48] how do i start the widget factory? [23:48] pharoh: ubuntu-restricted-extras for a start; automatix is a huge mistake [23:48] geirha: I get the graphical login prompt, but as soon as it starts logging in, the resolution is set back to the very high one that my monitor won't display [23:48] Starnestommy the ones that you get off the site [23:48] bazhang:how about vlc? [23:48] i heard windows is more secure than ubuntu [23:48] a website says: Iptables is a firewall, installed by default on all official Ubuntu distributions (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu). When you install Ubuntu, iptables is there, but it allows all traffic by default.. Whats that mean? [23:48] geirha: I can't see anything on it, I just have to pop back to the f2 virtual terminal [23:49] ader10_: when that happens, you go to a console and run DISPLAY=:0 xrandr again [23:49] windows = garabage [23:49] eriktdebi, Ubuntu is based on Linux whis is simmilar to UNIX. It has absolutly nothing to do with windows [23:49] can i adjust my lcd brightness in terminal, i have been asking for a while and nothing so far [23:49] ader10_: then when you pop back, you should be able to navigate [23:49] !ubuntu > eriktdebi === lincolnlad_ is now known as lincolnlad [23:49] what is acpi apple? [23:49] pharoh: vlc is fine, but you still need the codecs; perhaps also add win32codecs from medibuntu [23:49] i see [23:49] firefox in gutsy keeps freezing on dailymotion and youtbe [23:49] bazhang:can you give me the link? [23:50] http://www.acpi.info has info about acpi [23:50] geirha: It doesn't work [23:50] kk [23:50] thanks [23:50] REDLiNE: the readme file says to run "make menuconfig" then "make" [23:50] gonna run reinstall [23:50] bbl [23:50] <3 <3 [23:50] jaffarkelshac: perhaps you need a flash player [23:50] vlc can play them but has an awkward interface for mp3s. rhythmbox is a good player. and as said before, ubuntu-restricted-drivers will fix your problems with codecs. [23:50] how to shut down linux? [23:50] ubuntu [23:50] thats not it [23:50] ader10_: hm, then your best bet is probably editing your xorg.conf [23:50] it freeses whilst watching [23:50] johnny2008: What it sounds like? [23:51] pharoh sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras then go to www.medibuntu.org for instructions on how to install libdvdcss2 and win32codecs [23:51] will try opera [23:51] I'll renamee it for now and hope xorg 7.3 comes in handy [23:51] grinder: you could always type sudo shutdown... if the shutdown button doesnt work [23:51] you don't need win32codecs if you install the restricted drivers do you? [23:51] m0u5e, grinder: to shutdown entirely use sudo shutdown -P now [23:51] johnny2008: iptables is the kernel firewall. It can be compiled built-in or as a module. Most distros include it as a module, installed by default. Some will include some default rules. Ubuntu doesn't include any. [23:51] hey guys I entered this command, " PATH="/usr/pkg/sbin:$PATH" [23:51] " how do I undo this? [23:52] that will shutdown the PC straight awawy [23:52] away* [23:52] the restriced drivers includes those codecs i believe. [23:52] ader10_: if you find the vertical and horizontal sync rates for the monitor, and put them in xorg.conf, you shouldn't be able to set an invalid mode [23:52] thesurvivorman: never know; sometimes do [23:52] no, i installed the restricted codecs using synaptic.. works fine [23:52] how would i make an alias for a root command that automatically entered the password after the command was issued [23:52] techqbert the easiest is close that terminal and open another [23:52] geirha: Thank god for bulletproof X, deleting xorg.conf worked [23:52] xb3rt: Could you give an example of what you mean? [23:53] ader10_: hehe, yeah. It autodetects the config. /var/log/Xorg.0.log will contain the xorg.conf it uses now [23:53] i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu a few days ago after testing mandriva, and the restricted drivers does the job. [23:53] Kuwanger:I just made an alias for 'sudo apt-get update' although I still have to type my password [23:53] nickrud: so PATH is temporary? [23:53] xb3rt: Um, of course. [23:53] geirha: Thank you, that's very helpful to know! It's fixed now :) [23:53] thesurvivorman extras doesn't include w32codecs, but other ways to run that media [23:53] xb3rt, how do you do that the alias think [23:54] Again, thanks! Bye. [23:54] jaffarkelshac: type alias example=example command [23:54] techqbert yes, if you alter the path in a terminal. [23:54] xb3rt, cool [23:54] xb3rt: What's the problem with that, exactly? [23:54] bazhang:theh command you gave me,its returning an error sayin E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:54] thanks nickrud! oh, and pharoh, if you have all the repos enabled, you can get libdvdcss2 by sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [23:54] techqbert bash comes with no path, then reads /etc/environment to get a path [23:54] There is a command in ubuntu to remove all the programs that are not in ubuntu-desktop? [23:55] esd_vm-> what do you meant default? [23:55] Kuwanger: with what entering the password? [23:55] pharoh: then enable the repos in synaptic hit refresh and then try again [23:55] you need to enable the repos. gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [23:55] thesurvivorman no, he can only do that if he adds medibuntu as a repo [23:55] xb3rt: Yea. [23:55] sliptees no, you dont want to remove everything that is not show on the desktop [23:55] Nothing, just wondered if it was possible [23:55] nickrud, is that one of the restricted repos in sources.list? [23:55] thesurvivorman no, it's a third party repo, at medibuntu.org [23:56] xb3rt: If you're asking if it's possible to run a command as root without entering a password, the answer is yes. [23:56] xb3rt: Generally it's a bad idea, though. [23:56] ah, well I can install all of those without adding the medibuntu repo. [23:56] yea, it defeats the purpose of root security [23:56] !gutsysources | thesurvivorman (this is a simpler method to enable useful sources from ubuntu) [23:56] thesurvivorman (this is a simpler method to enable useful sources from ubuntu): 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). [23:56] Have any command in ubuntu, which remove all programs that aren't in ubuntu-desktop archive ? [23:56] slipttees no [23:57] xb3rt: So, I guess I'm curious, why do you want to defeat root security? [23:57] :'-( [23:57] Kuwanger: In my effort towards world domination [23:57] Hello. How do I run a disk check in Ubuntu? I dont have any desktop environment, only the terminal. [23:57] thanks nickrud. I've always just uncommented all of the repos in sources.list. Same difference I guess. [23:57] would you agree with this: the firewall is actually called Netfilter, and it lives in the kernel. iptables is just a text-based application to view and update the Netfilter configuration. Firestarter, Guarddog, etc., could very well manipulate the Netfilter configuration directly as well, without using iptables. ? [23:57] nickrud: gambiarras ? [23:57] xb3rt: I see. Well, if you're that curious, try "man visudo". [23:57] thesurvivorman yup :) So did I but dang this is easy ;) [23:58] slipttees ?? [23:58] Kuwanger: I just made an alias for my update command to cut down on typing but then i had to type out the password, so i was wondering if I could fix that [23:58] zylstra555 on an _unmounted_ partition, sudo fsck /dev/ [23:58] nickrud: Patch [23:59] nickrud: Hello again. Its mounted. Is it possible to have it scan right before the OS boots? [23:59] bazhang:it worked...working actually:) [23:59] xb3rt: Then it's merely a matter of making a script that runs "apt-get update", make it so only root can modify it (placing it in /usr/local/bin, for example, and make it owned by root with permission 700, for example), and altering visudo to not require a password to run the script for certain users (or all users). [23:59] pharoh: nicely done ;] [23:59] zylstra555 yes, sudo touch /forcefsck will force a disk check
