[00:00] hi, What kind of graphical assets do i need to install prior to running half-life on UBUNTU through WINE? [00:00] if you try and install someone outside that Ubuntu repo's the dependency problems are on you [00:00] !games | utarpradesh [00:00] utarpradesh: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:00] how do i paste it to pastebin_ [00:00] i need help agian badyl!!!! ok i tryed to reinstall ubuntu and it didnt work i put the disk in the drive and restarted the computer and nothing happend wut do i do plz help!!!:""( [00:00] utarpradesh, nothing, just remember to use the DirectX 8 driver [00:00] !wine | utarpradesh [00:00] utarpradesh: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [00:00] !pastebin | eduardo [00:00] Carbonflux, how do i enable this? [00:00] eduardo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:00] Carbonflux: That's soo true. It makes the difference in the user if the given individual has enough patience and perseverance to get all the pieces together. [00:00] Can someone help please, I'm running the Ubuntu live CD on a dell laptop, no sound. Is this a known problem or would this continue. [00:00] DragonLotus: then the backup you picked wasn't a working one. The earliest one you have is usually best (listed last if you 'ls -lt /etc/X11/xorg.conf*') [00:01] SeanInSeattle: there is no real way around them [00:01] Hiiiiiiiii [00:01] !intelhda | valros [00:01] valros: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [00:01] utarpradesh, one sec, let me look it up, its a command line option... [00:01] This sucks, took me an hour to get lirc working and all day to try to figure out how to blacklist a module that prevents lirc from loading properly. [00:01] can any one help me? [00:01] SeanInSeattle: windows has them too, its just transparent because the libraries come from the same place [00:01] stefg: wow you're taking on a bunch... i'll be here for a while, so just let me know if anything else comes to mind... your input it much appreciated [00:01] is* [00:02] Shai: too bad -- even ubotu knows how to blacklist [00:02] stefg, its pasted. [00:02] Anybody know how to get a Lexmark Z1300 Printer to work with Ubuntu? [00:02] Shai: I've found lirc painful, too, though [00:02] hello!!! i need sum good old help plz!! [00:02] Thanks all. Have a great one! [00:02] Shai, see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* [00:02] soundray and unop: thanks for your help. i reinstalled grub and linux-image and the files are there. hopefully after reboot it will still work. (i restored an older backup of menu.lst too) ttyl! [00:02] thanks soundray I ran dpkg-reconfigure now I'll restart. [00:02] mDemocritus: so you looked at dmesg yourself.... everything that comes to mind is dependant on on what it says [00:02] Soundray - how do you blacklist a module that contiues to load even when it's in the blacklist file and has a blacklist file of its own? [00:03] hello.i have downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 in winrar form..how can i create a live cd out of it? [00:03] can any one hear me? [00:03] semi-newb, let us know if it works ok [00:03] utarpradesh, its: -dxlevel 80 [00:03] stefg: yeah... it looks like it detected fine... did you see my paste? [00:03] eduardo: you got a link in your browsers address-bar... paste that here, so i can find it [00:03] no, XXarmory555XX [00:03] unop: ok [00:03] not unless they have a textreader [00:03] mDemocritus: no [00:03] woo hooo! [00:03] individual_elev, ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:03] stefg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61688/ [00:03] text reader? wut?? [00:03] Shai: that usually means that it's loaded before blacklisting takes an effect, ie. from initramfs [00:03] OK thanks [00:03] eduardo: ok, wait a second [00:04] Soundray, I'll look into initramfs......thanks. [00:04] thanks unop! [00:04] why do i need a text reader for? [00:04] we usually don't hear text [00:04] stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61671/ <-- relevant dmesg lines [00:04] if we wanted to, we would use a text/screenreader [00:04] oh ok lol i get it sorry lol [00:04] Shai, also make sure the module isnt explicitly loaded in /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/* [00:04] it's not, already checked [00:04] tonsofpcs can u help me? [00:04] If I have a SATA drive not mounted, is there a way I can find out what filesystem it has? [00:05] Ubuntu is really neat. Some day I'll figure out how to make this Lexmark Z1300 printer work. [00:05] Shai, how about? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [00:05] Piffer: with the 'file' command [00:05] XXarmory555XX: with what? [00:05] mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd $? [00:05] idk, just heard of initramfs......researching it now. [00:05] mDemocritus: what does that ZOOM mean? is that a ZOOM hd2 or hd 4? [00:05] ok i tryed to reinstall ubuntu and for some reason i cant [00:05] file command... I'll google that [00:06] Shai, if another module is causing your lirc module to fail at loading, you might need to blacklist that module too -- but that means, you have to know the consequences of blacklisting that particular module [00:06] :) [00:06] eduardo: ok, so your installed system should be in /media/hdc1.. is that right? [00:06] stefg: zoom is the brand... it's an HD16 multitrack hdd recorder [00:06] unop, it's irda, smsc_ircc2 and one other....I'm not worried abotu it. [00:06] ?? === silverdawn_ is now known as SilverDawn [00:06] Is there a way to make the dhcp server give me a different ip address? [00:07] Piffer: hold on :) [00:07] release/renew [00:07] Piffer: example: 'sudo file -s /dev/sda1' [00:07] huh? [00:07] Shai, well, hope we've given you enough to get this sorted [00:07] stefg, right. [00:07] mDemocritus: hehe ... funny as the world is, i work for the german zoom distributor. I doubt that it is HID compatible [00:07] One thing Ubuntu has taught me is to have massive amounts of patience. [00:07] unop, it's enough for me to find out if it is ;) [00:07] thanks carbonflux :) [00:07] siundray: thanks! that was easy :-) [00:08] stefg: that's pretty crazy lol [00:08] Odd-rationale, you'll need to tell the DHCP server to give out a different IP address [00:08] unop: woohoo! my system still works! thanks so much for your help! [00:08] :( [00:08] !yay | semi-newb [00:08] semi-newb: Glad you made it! :-) [00:08] Carbonflux: it says command not found [00:08] will ubuntu be faster if i put an le-1640 in? [00:08] semi-newb, cool, glad to know :) [00:08] tonsofpcs r u gunna help me plz [00:08] unop: wow, well done [00:08] XXarmory555XX: with what? [00:08] unop: In other words, you mean I need to do it from the server, not from my laptop? [00:08] soundray, :) [00:08] reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already [00:08] Odd-rationale, pretty much yea, but it depends on your DHCP server tho [00:08] unop, nope, not listed in initramf-tools/modules [00:09] stefg: what makes you think it wouldn't be compatible? does zoom suck at computer interfaces? [00:09] carbonflux: when i do -dxlevel 80 it says command not found [00:09] utarpradesh, you have to put that command line option on the hl2.exe command line, if you are running thru steam you need to set the command line via properties for the game. [00:09] stefg: or just standards compliance :D [00:09] unop: So it *might* be possible to do it from my laptop? [00:09] tonsofpcs reinstalling my ubuntu? i asked u like 4 times already [00:09] Hello, Im trying to get my C-Media CMI8738 working properly under ubuntu linux, For some reason im not getting sound from the central speaker, Yet the card supports 5.1 surround sound and my speakers are a 5.1 system. any ideas? [00:09] i see [00:09] okay thks [00:09] XXarmory555XX: you keep asking and ignoring the replies [00:09] utarpradesh, http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_line [00:09] eduardo: so i need a paste of /media/hdc1/boot/grub/menu.lst in pastebin, along with a listing of 'sudo blkid' [00:09] huh? i dint get any reply? [00:10] XXarmory555XX: yeah, you were just too absorbed [00:10] thank you a lot, friend. [00:10] Shai, well how about doing a grep in /etc/modprobe.d for those rogue modules -- grep -iER "irda|ircc" /etc/modprobe.d/ [00:10] :) [00:10] soundray oh..sry... [00:10] XXarmory555XX: the way to reinstall ubuntu is to boot from an install CD and run the installer [00:10] stefg. can you join nixtutor for just a sec? [00:10] Odd-rationale, as far as i know, there is no way a DHCP client can request that kind of control over a DHCP server, in other words, the DHCP client has to accept the address it is given [00:11] you will lose everything unless you backed it up XXarmory555XX by doing this...as you start with a clean slate. [00:11] mDemocritus: they run a custom OS they run, and they might have found a hackish way to make the device work with win, but this is of course no run-of-the-mill harddisk or mass storage [00:11] soundray ok i tryed that i put the installer cd in the disk drive and booted but nothing any diffrent happend and im aware of that thats wut i want [00:11] unop: ok. what about a static ip? how would I know what numbers to put for a staic ip? [00:11] alan_m: you can do a non-destructive reinstall if you skip the formatting of partitions ( XXarmory555XX) [00:11] XXarmory555XX, just making sure you were aware, ok :) [00:12] stefg: that figures... [00:12] soundray, thats with the alternate install cd though correct? [00:12] XXarmory555XX: I don't follow you. What happens when you boot the installer? [00:12] stefg: i wonder if it'll work through control surface mode with ardour... i haven't tried that yet, but it supposedly can work by emulating mackie control modes.... [00:12] utarpradesh, one more thing, be sure you are really the latest stable version of wine for best results, a lot of people get this working just by installing wine from the ubuntu repos and installing Steam and thats its, the only issue now seems to be using DirectX 8 because DX9 shaders are slow in wine :) [00:13] really using* [00:13] alan_m: no, it works with the ubiquity installer, too, if you uncheck the formatting tickbox [00:13] Odd-rationale, the only thing that diffferentiates a static IP from a dynamic one is the fact that a static one is manually assigned to an interface .. however, if you do assign an IP address to an interface, your DHCP server should take into account that the address is in use and not give that particular one out to other clients [00:13] soundray ok its like puting a cd with nothing on it it does nothing its starts normaly and goes to the login screen and stuff it dose everything it supose to do on regualr boot [00:13] ah, i just do the standard install, i hardly ever do manual soundray, ill have to check that out sometime. [00:14] unop just my blacklisted entries and something for and alias for irda-utils (has been uninstalled). I'm going to try something else first. [00:14] XXarmory555XX: so it's not booting from the CD. You need to give the CD boot priority in your BIOS setup [00:14] unop: hmm. ok let me experiment a bit... Thanks for the help! [00:14] Odd-rationale, but that's only if the machine is on, if the machine is off and the address can't be pinged, then the DHCP server could give out that address [00:14] * Shai gets hammer [00:14] Guys, for some reason any window in ubuntu doesn't start maximized even though I set them all to that before I close them [00:14] unop: ok. I know almost zero about networking lol [00:14] stefg: any idea if zoom has been shipping the newer OS version on the HD16s? [00:14] * soundray throws himself heroically in front of Shai's computer [00:15] soundray o so i eed to go to BIOS got it and wut do i do from there? do i set as boot from cd first? [00:15] * User87971 waves hi to everyone! [00:15] XXarmory555XX: you can also press delete or F12 or F10 (depending on the notice that comes up at boot) to choose what device to boot from on a one-time basis. [00:15] Odd-rationale, ok, well, if you do manually assign an address to an interface, there is a chance that you can get IP address conflicts on your network [00:15] !hi | User87971 [00:15] User87971: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:15] semi-newb: only with Phoenix BIOSs though ;) [00:15] mDemocritus: no, sorry... didn't have the opportunity to actually open one of the boxes [00:15] every computer I've ever used supports this [00:15] semi-newb lol [00:15] What might we help you with today User87971? [00:16] stefg: eh, no prob... it was worth a shot [00:16] Nothing really, just re-installed ubuntu on one of my computers, it's running great. =) [00:16] semi-newb: then all the computers you've ever used had a Phoenix BIOS [00:17] I'm trying to get libpcap for my ubuntu box but tcpdump.org is down... any suggestions? [00:17] So, just testing it out then User87971? I see :) [00:17] soundray ok i just relized how to i enter BIOS on ubuntu is it the same as it would be on any other comp like f2 or sumthing? [00:17] unop: so if on another computer the dhcp server gives me ip address 1.2.3.4 Can I use that as a static ip address on this computer and the dhcp server will have to give another address to the other comp? [00:17] server irc.x10hosting.com [00:17] soundray: i'd assume it's pretty common then. [00:17] XXarmory555XX: the BIOS comes with your computer, it's not part of Ubuntu [00:17] e.g. 1.2.3.5 [00:17] milesmatthias, you can install the libpcap0.8 package [00:17] The very first linux I have used was Red Hat linux back in the 90's. Now the distro is Fedora core I believe. [00:18] semi-newb: indeed, but I have a few machines, including recent ones, with AMI BIOSes [00:18] sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8? [00:18] Nope, I'm out of ideas. [00:18] can some one please help me with my maximizing problem? [00:18] Say, when I do add stuff to blacklist, I don't have to update.modprobe or whatever do I? [00:18] Odd-rationale, the other computer will need to request a new IP address from the DHCP server otherwise a conflict will continue to exist on your network and both computers could get nowhere [00:19] where there any performance improvements from feisty to gutsy? [00:19] mc-george: whats the issue? [00:19] mc-george: you need to look into a package like devilspie for remembering window size settings [00:19] !info devilspie [00:19] milesmatthias, sure [00:19] e16 has that feature [00:19] soundtrayL its because they always appear off the screen [00:20] unop: will the dhcp automatically give a new ip address on the other computer since I'm already using the old on this one? [00:20] mc-george: strange, have you set a correct resolution? [00:20] *dhcp server [00:20] How do you change your defualt program associations? [00:20] unop, it's already installed but it must not be in a normal place because I can't configure snort [00:20] yea, 1680*1050 < --- soundray [00:20] Odd-rationale, no, the DHCP server has no way of knowing you've done what you've done -- the DHCP server only acts when asked to, so the other machine will need to be rebooted or have it's network interface flapped [00:21] is possible change the background image from bash????????????? [00:21] DeadLy_sp_, yes it is, but i forget the command to do it. [00:21] <__mikem> DeadLy_sp_, is it possible to press the ? key only once? [00:21] unop: ok. Thanks a lot! [00:21] unop, do you know where ubuntu installs libpcap? [00:21] milesmatthias, why don't you install snort from the ubuntu repositories? [00:22] i took an image with vmware converter and tried to run it on vmware player... i get errors like cannot connect to ide0 and ide1.. is there something i need to do to make this work? [00:22] hehe alan_m _mikem it's more important for me :) i'm searching on google but i dont find info about ir [00:22] robert___1111: probably better to ask in #vmware [00:22] How do I view system information via the command line (my OS for example)? [00:23] milesmatthias, i'm assuming it saves it's shared libraries in /usr/lib/pcap (or something like that under /usr/lib) [00:23] alan_m, please remember ^^ [00:23] LainIwakura: uname -a [00:23] LainIwakura: lspci, lshw, lsusb... [00:23] LainIwakura: cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:23] soundray: Thanks [00:23] LainIwakura: lsb_release [00:24] unop, thanks. I've already started installing snort from source code - where are the ubuntu repositories if i were to do that? [00:24] milesmatthias: if you have source enabled in your repositories, you could also run sudo apt-get build-dep snort and it should install libcap for you, then you can comnpile as usual.. but i'd use the one in the repos [00:24] milesmatthias, sudo apt-get install snort :) [00:24] milesmatthias: system/admin/synaptic package manager, to view packages you can install in a GUI, add/remove sources, etc [00:24] soundray: Any command to view what OS I'm using? [00:25] DeadLy_sp_, what do you want me to remember? [00:25] LainIwakura: lsb_release -a [00:25] LainIwakura, lsb_release -a [00:25] maybe I'll just write a script to unload and load the modules [00:25] Greetings all, after installing Ubuntu what am I to do next? I didn't turn into doogie howser like I thought I would [00:25] A Ha! Thanks everyone! [00:25] how do you use .m3u with amarok? I tried associating it but it says no suitable input plugin [00:26] can anyone help me set up my camcorder to be seen in ubuntu? [00:26] Tazbobu, you might need to convert the .m3u into a playlist format amarok understands first [00:26] alan_m, the command for change the background image :) [00:26] I created a user using adduser . Using su I can switch to that user from root. But why can I not 'sudo apt-get install ' from the non-root user? Sudo prompts me for the 's pw instead of the root--is this the problem? [00:27] I find that I can only install packages via 'apt-get install ' when I am the root user. [00:27] DeadLy_sp_, I cant, you can definately look it up in google though [00:27] LainIwakura: no, sudo is supposed to ask for the user password [00:27] DeadLy_sp_, gconftool-2 -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/picture [00:27] soundray: Would 'su apt-get install ' work from the non-root user then? [00:27] LainIwakura: for a user to be able to run sudo programs, the user has to be in the admin group. [00:27] soundray: How can I assign that user to the admin group? [00:27] LainIwakura: su -C apt-get...etc is the one [00:28] LainIwakura: or su -c [00:28] just chiming in to say how i love linux [00:28] LainIwakura - you can edit the sudoer's file so it doesn't ask for apassword. [00:28] ;) [00:28] LainIwakura: do a 'adduser username admin' [00:28] LainIwakura, if you used sudo -- yes .. dont use su.. ubuntu has no root password [00:28] LainIwakura: unop_ is right.... nevermind [00:28] unop !!! [00:28] sufi usermod -a -G [00:28] unop_, but i using Xfce4 [00:29] !sudo | nith [00:29] soundray: I get 'adduser: The group 'admin' does not exist.' [00:29] Shai: please don't suggest that, it can lead to all kind of troubles, including locked-out users [00:29] LainIwakura: are you on Ubuntu? Which version? [00:29] soundray: Ubuntu 7.10 [00:29] DeadLy_sp_, err, why didn't you make mention of that? [00:29] soundray - will do [00:30] LainIwakura: if there is no admin group on your system, something is seriously wrong. How did you get to be logged in as root? [00:30] recovery console? [00:31] Lainlwakure: try sudo usermod -a -G [00:31] hello [00:31] soundray: This Ubuntu is on a VPS, so I ssh as root into the shell. [00:31] is there a linux tab editor, similar to Powertab? [00:31] anyone knows a eggdrop tcl script that send a msg when a people join at channel? [00:31] I'm running hardy beta and trying to get my webcam to work. Both ov51x_jpeg and videodev modules are loading just fine, but the /dev/video(x) entrys seems to be missing. Anybody who got a clue what is wrong?

[00:34] :| [00:34] kjdx: I dont understand your question. You want to sintall apache? [00:34] LainIwakura: I don't really know what to suggest when a system has no admin group. It's absolutely standard for Ubuntu to have a locked root account (that wouldn't allow ssh logins) and at least one user who is part of the admin group and thus has sudo privilege [00:34] mattyB_: Oh my, 'man: command not found'.

Test by running '$0 --version' [00:36] hobbitboy, you need to log in at the console and use the startx command [00:36] sarixe : thx :) [00:36] filosofixit : np [00:36] unop_: haha, oh right, thanks [00:37] oops, guess i need xinit [00:37] soundray: GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) [00:37] LainIwakura: not busybox then -- this is a standard shell [00:37] hobbitboy, you mean an .xinitirc file? yes, you need that to mention "startfluxbox" [00:38] Lainlwakura: Are you able to run sudo usermod -a -G admin [00:38] s//$USER/ [00:38] mattyB_: why would he, if there is no admin group? [00:38] unop_: you're assuming sudo -- LainIwakura is logged in as root [00:38] how do I change hostname? (bad connection; I'll read it soon as it gets here :) ) [00:39] soundray: I just installed manpages. It is odd that it wasn't in the installation. [00:39] LainIwakura: this is not the only odd thing. I wouldn't trust this installation at all. [00:39] soundray: I bug out. Came in the conversation late and just adding confusion. [00:39] I'm having a problems. I've installed from the Cd several times, (trying to dual boot with XP pro. 2 times, it said grub couldn't install. Most recently At the last setp before installation, I clicked Advanced and choose HDA5 for grub install, thinking that HD0 the default must have not allowed it being NTFS?? Anyway, then I rebooted and it just went into windows. Where does grub need to be? [00:40] soundray: Alright, thanks for the red flags. I'll send my host an email now. [00:40] q === din_away is now known as din [00:40] LainIwakura: good luck [00:40] soundray, hmm, i wasnt following .. and i was just suggesting an easier way [00:40] soundray: Thanks. [00:41] LainIwakura, are you renting out a machine or something? [00:41] unop_: It's a cheap unmanaged VPS plan that I bought so I could learn how to setup a server. [00:42] LainIwakura, it's not surprising then that everything's not as it should be -- its not that the install is faulty, you just have to know how to workaround all these anomalies [00:42] hey guys.. was wondering if anyone could help me out... i installed ubuntu on my cousins laptop, everything was working fine until i installed the spherecrystal theme... now the APPEARANCE settings won't work properly, and there are not icons of any kind in any of the menus.. is there a way to undo, or reinstall the display settings? [00:42] smick: grub has two parts: one bootloader in the MBR, and the actual program dir in /boot/grub ... you need to write the MBR portion to the ...(duh) MBR [00:42] it says /etc/X11/X doesnt exist (after installing fluxbox and xinit), what else do i need [00:43] !grub | smick [00:43] smick: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:43] unop_: Yes, that's what I've been doing all day. So was the OS installation (via my control panel) some sort of bare minimum Ubuntu installation? [00:43] hello : I'm a newbie, and I have a problem ; I didn't fany any solution in the docs. The problem is each time I'm playing an ogg file or an mp3, the application freezes whatever it is (vlc, rythmbox,...) [00:44] and I have no sound [00:44] hi [00:44] need rapidshare account =( [00:44] hi [00:44] kasi: Have you gave this thread a try? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [00:45] stefg: if I just go with the default settings when installing, grub doesn't load and I can't get to ubuntu. So in the final advanced menu before installation does it's thing? I don't know that I have an MBR option. I'll read the links you guys gave. [00:45] i'm trying to have linux run apps using my xp install natively [00:45] thnaks LainIwakura I'll have a look [00:45] how do I write the ubuntu 7.10 image onto a cd using the standard cd/dvd burner? [00:45] !burniso | JustJaden [00:45] JustJaden: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [00:46] JustJaden, within gnome you should be able to right click the iso and have an option to burn it to CD [00:46] Thanks guys [00:46] JustJaden: Make sure you burn it as an .iso [00:46] smick: installing to MBR means choosing a device (like /dev/sda) not a partition (like (dev/sda5) [00:46] i having trouble with firefox.. keeps closing when i try goto youtube etc... do i alreadyt have flash installed? or what do i need a tar.gz a .tar or a .YUM ? [00:46] LainIwakura, burning the file as-is to CD will not render it bootable :) [00:46] LainIwakura, if thats what you mean [00:46] !flash | Rageon [00:46] Rageon: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:46] swapping a hard drive into a computer with totally different hardware and processor wouldn't work would it? os wise 9ubuntu) [00:47] Can anyone provide a guide to make a RTL8186 wireless card work with Ubuntu? I have followed many guides in the Wiki, but I have not succeded yet. [00:47] would it boot? [00:47] stefg: I think that's what I meant, sda5, rather than HD0 which was the default. [00:47] JustJaden: depending on the burning software you use.. http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm [00:47] Anybody know how to reset the 'baseline' (not sure that's the right word ) for the apple smc accelerometer? I am trying to play neverball by tilting my laptop and it just keeps rolling backwards :) [00:47] aight cheers [00:47] kindofabuzz: that kind of thing works surprisingly well in some cases. Trouble starts mostly when X starts. [00:48] smick: in grub speak you need to install to (hd0) ... in kernel speak that's /dev/hda or sda [00:48] !RTL8681 [00:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about rtl8681 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:48] stefg: I might be good after trying out the Recovering Ubuntu after installing windows help link from ubotu. Even though that's not exactly what happened, might work.

[00:49] I deeply want to install Ubuntu, but I can not get my wireless card to work in the Live CD. [00:49] kindofabuzz: p4/amd won't be a problem [00:49] basically, i got another computer but don't wanna reinstall and reconfigure everything [00:49] unop__: So was the Ubuntu installation on my virtual server likely some sort of bare minimum installation? [00:49] kindofabuzz: it's worth a try. [00:49] yeah i'll try it [00:50] how do I change hostname? [00:50] kindofabuzz: I've done a server install as a vmware guest, imaged it, put it on a hard disk and booted a 'real' machine with it [00:50] help how do i get ubuntu to see my camcorder? I have it hooked through firewire can anybody help me out? [00:50] smick: some BIOS's make trouble .... but resistance is futile (as locutus of grub used to say) [00:50] sixforty: /etc/hostname [00:50] LainIwakura, it does appear to be that way from what you've been telling us .. it's a shame because we can't really support that and even using standard ubuntu documentation would be useless to you [00:51] LainIwakura, not all documentation but some [00:51] soundray: this p4 is 1.5ghz with old sdram, the amd is only 1.2ghz but has ddr, i figure it would be faster [00:51] jtravnick: no specific advice, sorry... but have a look at The Grumpy Editor's Video Journey (http://lwn.net/Articles/261820/) [00:51] and is overclockable [00:52] unop: Okay thanks. [00:52] LainIwakura, if you are not new to linux (ubuntu atleast) it's just a matter of identifying what has changed and working around -- but if you are just learning, it's harder [00:52] kindofabuzz: just edit /etc/hostname? [00:52] sixforty: yup [00:52] kindofabuzz: won't make a big difference [00:52] !hostname | sixforty [00:52] sixforty: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [00:52] how do i install envy?

[01:13] arnath, dont use cat like that -- simply use grep -- grep -inHR keyword files [01:13] Scunizi, I tried that. I tried using the default Google dialog in Evo to put in my username / pass and just got my default calendar... [01:13] 150mb xD [01:13] Then I tried using the webcal with the iCal link from google. [01:13] it this right ? [01:13] Evo complained that it couldn't find that. [01:13] jarlath, you mean the main calendar? do you have more than one cal? [01:13] for a 3d desktop ? [01:14] Scunizi, yes.

[01:26] jarlath, np [01:26] Scunizi: it said i couldnt install it... is it because im in a VM? [01:27] I'm currently working on getting a command line version of xubuntu working, and I have a problem: an installusing dpkg failed halfway through, and now it tries to finish the install every time I use apt-get... is there any way to prevent this?

[01:27] torenhonig: at the final step before installing, there is an "advanced" button to configure where grub is to be installed. by default its (hd0) review the accuracy of this if your using an SCSI drive or something else [01:28] It's 8.04 alpha. [01:28] i need to install fatx filesystem support in my ubuntu, i have the kernel patch and this small guide (http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/How_to_include_FATX_support_in_a_regular_Linux_kernel) but this is my first try, i've never patched a kernel before, can someone give me some hints? [01:28] if i disable my GDM ill get a terminal login right? But after i log in will i stay in a terminal or will X startup (default gutsy install) [01:28] juice_, that's your issue.. you can't run a propitiatory video driver in a VM. VMware uses its own drivers.. Have you installed VMWare tools? [01:28] there is another release, newer then 7.10 ? [01:28] I DL'd the beta last night and my burned CD failed of that, so I went back to my alpha cd. [01:28] brambo: not yet [01:28] LjL: did u think u can help me? [01:28] but 710 also failed the same way with grub. [01:29] im using pidgin for irc... which plugin makes everything colour coded? [01:29] first of all i need to know if the guide "can" work is totally outdated/wrong [01:29] Scunizi: no not yet, can i use VM tools to do it? [01:29] I just tried to install the desktop 7.10 version of ubuntu today, and I can't get it to boot up. In another room, someone told me that the kernel can't see my drive or my controller [01:29] did u try a manual grub install smick [01:29] xenthro, do yourself a favor and install xchat.. [01:29] brambo: type « sudo apt-get -f install » in a terminal and pastebin the output [01:29] Scunizi: would you mind telling me if in your Google Calendars, any of them appear under 'Other Calendars'? That's where the one I'm interested in is at. [01:29] i am in the live cd now, i was trying to do that right now. [01:29] Scunizi: I use it as well, but I am trying to cut down on redundancy [01:29] juice_, don't missunderstand.. you'll never be able to install that driver in ubuntu as long as ubuntu is running in a VM [01:30] what kind of cammands were you using? [01:30] Scunizi: WEAK! [01:30] jarlath, in EVo they appear under "On the Web" [01:30] in terminal I write "setup (hd0) like the "recover windows" help page says and it says "failed ot mount" [01:30] Scunizi: thanks tho [01:30] hi there [01:30] deo [01:30] driver in a VM. VMware uses its own drivers.. Have you installed [01:30] VMWare tools? [01:30] -:- SignOff tenchi21: #ubuntu (Client Quit) [01:30] there is another release, newer then 7.10 ? [01:30] nathan2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows from this page I'm following directions. [01:31] Scunizi, I mean in the actual Google Calendar web page. I think we might be talking about different types of calendars. [01:31] how to add partition in 8.04 installation? [01:31] even though it's not the exact problem. [01:31] !hardy > owen1 (owen1, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:31] juice_, thats a function of VMware.... you can install vmware tools to make everything smother.. [01:31] I thought it was a good way to manual install grub [01:31] LjL: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:31] Scunizi: It's not listed under 'My Calendars' for me, but 'Other Calendars' [01:31] I've tried installing ubuntu twice and I can't get it to boot up. [01:31] brambo: « sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:31] jarlath, ah.. just a sec. [01:31] I've installed ubuntu on an laptop, and would like to know how can I test my harddrive for bad blocks [01:31] Scunizi: Thank you so much. [01:32] jarlath, no they appear under My Calendars.. under Other Calendars I have Phases of the Moon, US Holidays etc. [01:32] nathan2: i dont think so...not yet anyway [01:32] Does ubuntu come with gnome preinstalled or you have to install it manually later? [01:32] it comes with [01:32] LjL: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 13: getopt: not found [01:32] Terminating... [01:32] Scunizi, so the calendars under 'Other Calendars' are not synced with your Evo? [01:32] oh [01:32] ok [01:33] windosor, ubuntu comes with gnome if you dowloaded ubuntu,, kde if you downloaded kubuntu and xfcd4 if you did xubuntu [01:33] brambo: uhm, ouch. i think i need the whole output though, not just that line - use the pastebin [01:33] jarlath, they are.. [01:33] Can someone help me? Ubuntu can't see my hard drive [01:33] windosor, server does not come with a window manager by default also [01:33] jarlath, sorry .. under other calendars.. no.. [01:33] LjL: do u have msn or ne thing? its hard to catch all u say on here [01:33] ok [01:33] okokok [01:33] uh === Joeb454_ is now known as Joeb454 [01:33] Scunizi, ah. Okay. Thanks Scunizi. I guess it's not supported at present. [01:34] brambo, your IRC client should highlight lines that i say mentioning your nickname in a different color. doesn't it? [01:34] jarlath, that would be nice.. It's tough getting holidays into evo.. [01:34] LjL: yea but the room scrolls so fast [01:34] and brambo, IRC allows for private messages (although you need to be registered to this network) [01:34] how do I add sinks to pulse audio? [01:34] my printer is connected properly and ubuntu sees the printer... but i am unable to print... can someone please help? [01:35] I'm installing Ubuntu 7.10 through the alternate install disc, and it seems stuck at Configuring apt (40%), Scanning the mirror. The disc is not running and niether is the wireless or the HDD. [01:35] J^son, what kind of printer and how is it connected? [01:35] osxdude: how long? [01:35] Scunizi: Yes. My band uses it to let everyone know where the gigs are at but only the bass player has access because he set it up. Oh well, I'll try the Sunbird plugin and see how I fair. [01:35] Scunizi: Thanks again! [01:35] Odd-rationale: it's been there for about maybe 3 mins [01:35] jarlath, np :) [01:35] Scunizi, HP Laserjet 1100 connected through a serial port [01:35] osxdude: are you connected to the net? [01:36] Odd-rationale: Honestly, I have no idea. [01:36] J^son, serial meaning usb? or LPT or old fashioned 9pin? [01:36] how do i install realplayer please [01:36] !real | siraj [01:36] siraj: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:36] OOH! Odd-rationale it's just jumped up to 80%! [01:36] Scunizi, OLD LPT [01:36] osxdude: yeah that step can take a while it is normal [01:36] Ok, so it's not frozen. [01:36] Thanks, Odd-rationale [01:36] J^son, did you go to System/Admin/Printing and add it there? [01:36] is there a way to see if a hard disk has bad blocks on ubuntu? fsck does the job? [01:37] how do I add sinks to pulse audio? [01:37] osxdude: it tries to connect to the net. if connection times out, it will continue nonethelesss [01:37] arthurmaciel: there is a command "badblocks" [01:37] Scunizi, it was working before... [01:37] i keep having trouble with connecting to the mysql database mythtv sets up, how can i check if mysql is running? [01:37] J^son, before what.. did anything change? or did it just stop? [01:37] Ward1983: try #ubuntu-mythtv [01:37] it just stopped [01:37] arthurmaciel: have you considered, however, monitoring your HD's state using the SMART sensors? (the "smartmontools" package can be used to query them) [01:38] Scunizi, it just stopped [01:38] J^son, ok.. go to a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart [01:38] hi all, i'm trying to add a drive to a software raide i have and it says: "mdadm: cannot find /dev/sda1: No such file or directory" however /dev/sda exists just not /dev/sda1 [01:38] how can i recreate /dev/sda1? [01:39] Crshman, did you look for sda1 in /media? just an idea.. I don't know anything about raid [01:39] Scunizi, that's done... do i try printing now? === soulrider_ is now known as soulrider [01:39] is there a way to eject the cd and use my drive from within the liveCD? [01:39] J^son, yes.. if it doesn't work we'll go to step 2 [01:39] LjL: I had a registered nick here but i forgot my password...can i just make a new one? n how? [01:39] osxdude, people are all afk or ignore me there [01:40] Scunizi, that did not work [01:40] Ward1983: Ah ok [01:40] I'm trying to exclude paths from backups, but it does not seem to be working http://www.paste2.org/p/18154 [01:40] i still haven't figured out why ubuntu says harddrives are scsi when they are not [01:40] osxdude, and in #mythtv they just say wrong channel [01:40] how do I add sinks to pulse audio? [01:40] elpargo, nope, the liveCD session depends on the contents of the CD, if you were to pop out the CD, the session would probably fail [01:40] J^son, ok.. go to Firefox and in the address bar type http://localhost:631 [01:40] LjL: thanks [01:40] unop_: great... now how I burn a CD :( [01:40] Scunizi, it's not in /media [01:40] why do all the good apps have to be stupidly hard to install and have the most annoying arrogant people to give support [01:40] elmargol: no CD burner? [01:41] Is there a way to rescan the harddrives on my system? [01:41] Crshman, like I said.. just an idea.. [01:41] Scunizi, I'm there [01:41] then they develop mythbunto to make life easyer, and i have the same f***ing problem with it [01:41] Crshman:: restart? [01:41] elpargo, you'll have to use another burner or copy those files to a usb device or the harddrive even and burn them later [01:41] why people always reply to elmargol :) [01:41] hey guys [01:41] osxdude, I can't restart this box it's a server and people are using the array =( [01:41] I have a fresh Ubuntu desktop 7.10 install that hangs when it tries to mount the root filesystem. Apparently it the kernel can't see the hard drive or can controller. Can anyone help? [01:41] J^son, what you're looking at is CUPS.. it's what drives the system for printing. click the printer tab and see if your printer is listed. [01:41] does anyone know of any usb to serial drivers? [01:42] If my wireless is showing when I do lspci, but it's not showing up so that I can use it, how can I fix that? Intel Centrino, ipw2200 [01:42] unop, osxdude: I'm on a laptop and I have only 1 drive, as for the extenal that is what I don't want, I need to get at least 30GB out of this... [01:42] Scunizi, my printer is listed [01:42] Crshman: Oh, wow, i have no idea how to rescan. Start GParted and mount it from there? [01:42] how can i check if mysql-server is running please? [01:42] no offense but i don't get mythbuntu, why would you wanna watch tv on your computer? tv is evil! =) [01:42] J^son, just a sec. I'm trying to install the same printer even though I don't have one. [01:42] elpargo, 30GB wont fit on a CD anyway and there's no way to do magic if something is impossible :) [01:43] Scunizi, Ok.. Thank you [01:43] does anybody know anything obout postfix in here? [01:43] unop_: yes I know but I'll burn several dvds.... [01:43] elpargo, you can't eject the liveCD when it is in use -- simple as. [01:43] J^son, you did say "lasar jet" right? [01:43] unop_: yes thank you. [01:44] Scunizi, HP Laserjet 1100 === brambo is now known as winterwolf [01:44] J^son, is it an all in one.. or the old battle ax of a reliable printer? [01:45] Scunizi, the old battle-ax [01:45] pfff im never helping anyone again [01:45] Scunizi, its like a tank === Snow_ is now known as DenKain [01:45] hi, when i tried to access my wireless network, using the WEP key, i can't connect.. is there a different way to enter wep key without using gui? [01:45] unop_: is there not a way to put all the livecd into ram, so if you only have one burner you can eject it and burn stuff? [01:46] i know with systemrescuecd you can load it all into ram [01:46] why dont u just install it [01:46] J^son, when you did the install which driver did you install? from HPs site it says to use the hplip drivers. [01:46] can someone help me please? I've been burned by windows so many times. I don't want to go back. [01:46] kindofabuzz, i'm sure there is -- but the liveCD would have to be created in that fashion for it to be possible, and the ubuntu liveCD isnt made that way (yet?) [01:46] LjL: what does i need to paste on pastebin again? or are u busy my friend? [01:47] Scunizi, I had downloaded it from HP [01:47] brambo, the output of « sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:48] Greetings all [01:48] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6242/ [01:49] I have read the wikis, but I can not find out how to get Ubuntu working with a RTL8186 wireless card. [01:49] J^son, the link takes you to sourceforge.. hplip is an opensource driver.... did you follow their instructions for installation? You probably should have installed hplip from Synaptic.. its in ther. [01:49] J^son, synaptic is under System/Admin/Synaptic [01:49] Scunizi, I don't remember going to sourceforge [01:50] brambo, you could try this command to help. sudo apt-get install util-linux [01:50] Does anyone know of a guide to my question? [01:50] brambo, and then run LjL's command again [01:50] brambo: you seem to have somehow managed to mess up your system in an original way :) try « sudo apt-get install util-linux » [01:51] J^son, when I looked for the drivers on hp's site it had a link to them.. that link takes you to sourceforge.net.. not really an issue.. you might try installing hplip from synaptic and reinstall the printer giving it a different name. [01:51] unop_: is your dpkg -S much faster than mine, or have you encountered this before? === erichj is now known as janeway_pwn_pica [01:51] I'm trying to run a cron, but it's not working [01:51] LjL: that don't do anything [01:51] LjL, he isn't the first one i've seen with getopt missing .. two or three people have had it missing.. dunno why really === janeway_pwn_pica is now known as erichj [01:51] J^son, unfortunatly I've gotta run.. someone here should be able to help you more. Good luck.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:52] LjL: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I thought maybe getting someone's attention first might help [01:53] brambo: try this: « sudo apt-get --download-only util-linux ; sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux*.deb » [01:53] i cant get my damn thunderbird to send mails from my server to the external world but i can with the terminal..... what is going on?

[02:11] edits to files that belong to root [02:11] LDS_Trooper, it will support it now.. just that you have to install the binary from nvidia.. in the interim he can use the generic nv driver or install the next versions beta download.. it's pretty complete but occationally breaks with updates then gets fixed the next day or so. [02:11] unop__: ok, thx... that's what I thought === static is now known as maximilian [02:11] slim, thats what sudo is for? [02:12] yeah with too much hassle [02:12] slim, if you need to elevate to a super user terminal there are plenty of ways to do that with sudo [02:12] i just log in as root amnd i am good to go [02:12] slim, the ONLY need for "root" is to have a root graphical login which is bad idea no matter what [02:13] slim, sudo -s will give you a superuser terminal [02:13] izinucs, Excellent thanks! I will pass this along [02:13] i installed samba and had my smb network running flawless then restarted and need to start it up again and was pointed here for help with init scripts (i'm really new to linux) [02:13] LDS_Trooper, no problem.. are you using ubuntu?

[02:27] brambo, do they say anything peculiar? errors? [02:27] LjL, thanks [02:27] spork969, if it isn't well behaved, you can just make an icon in the menu for it [02:27] spork969, depends you might have to add it to the menu later [02:27] LjL: no they just don't do nothing...nothing opens [02:27] shnastybiznastic, izinucs, how do i do that?

[03:50] bazhang i try but looks it not works very well :x [03:50] bwlang: the laptop has no bluetooth in it either... [03:51] realcoolguy: bluetooth might be a red herring... to boot to single user mode you need to press escape at the prompt before the screen that's displayed during boot to show the menu, you can chose it from that menu. [03:52] hi, how can i remove the ubuntu logo from gnome-panel? [03:52] realcoolguy: but given your level of expertise i think it might be best for you to just re-install...

[03:53] hey do you guys know of any parental software similar to Net Nanny with a windows and Linux version [03:53] Scunizi there's always xpdf [03:53] nikrud, that's the one I was thinking of.. thanks. [03:53] ToddEDM: dansguardian; also there is a firefox plugin [03:54] hi, how can i remove the ubuntu logo from gnome-panel? [03:54] realcoolguy: you could try sudo update-rc.d -f bluetooth remove [03:55] realcoolguy(after booting to single user mode) [03:55] bwlang: ok thanks, i can get into the root terminal, just wasn't sure what to do from there [03:55] ok im sorry for the cussing but this is pissing me off, i cant get a working curses library [03:55] realcoolguy: but i doubt that will fix your problem. [03:55] bwlang: actually, i tried something and the fix worked, so we're all good now, edited the startup in grub, added --no bluetooth and i'm at the login screen now [03:56] Scunizi, Thx so far. I have the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" enabled and working. If I try to change the "visual effects" a cryptic error message pops up that tells me that it cannot enable it. Is there an error log I can check somewhere? [03:56] some wont install on the basis that i have one, which the terminal says i dont [03:56] bwlang: you'll have to forgive my level of expertise [03:56] ok heres another quick question... when im on my sons computer how do i get add/remove programs?he has no privliges [03:57] ToddEDM: i don't think you'll find something like that under linux..., i guess you could to a tcpdump and log the results to see about network sites... [03:57] hey guys, anyone know how to get unicode support in bash? I'm trying to paste a unicode-type string but any character outside ISO-8859-1 is not displayed? [03:57] ToddEDM there has to be one user that has those privs, the first one made [03:57] hughw, you might need to reboot.. or do this in a terminal and tell me what it says under "driver".. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:58] nikrud: yeah i am the administrator, so i gues i just add it from my account? [03:58] nikrud, xpdf doesn't have a print function that I can find.. I've got a huge 170meg pdf that evince chokes on. [03:58] ToddEDM yes [03:58] but i dont want it on my account nikrud [03:58] Scunizi: you could split the pdf up if you need to [03:58] Scunizi try lpr file.pdf, should work straight out [03:59] btw, if anyone cares, looks like the Xonar D2X does work on Linux if they wanna smash their creative sound cards [03:59] ToddEDM it's system wide, not just for an account [03:59] k [03:59] guys, how do i up the brightness of my screen? [03:59] how can i tell if and what version of libncurses i have [03:59] I turned it down somehow, but it was by mistake and I forgot how. [03:59] ToddEDM: you could remove the icons from your menus if you want to. [03:59] how do I see logs of the chat room? [03:59] or are there any [03:59] bwlang: yeah i gues that would work [03:59] Scunizi, it says "nvidia" [03:59] kumarphilly: i don't think there are any [03:59] ah [03:59] Scunizi, the card is GeForce FX Go5200 ^$M [04:00] Scunizi, 64M [04:00] hughw, reboot.. see what that will do.. do a /exit here though so your nick won't get "ghosted. [04:00] for latex documents, is tetex still the standard or texlive? [04:00] ToddEDM heh, you might like the programs :) [04:00] how do i tell what version if any of libncurses i have [04:01] Scunizi, It's on another machine. I did reboot. [04:01] hughw, and?

[04:16] that works too [04:16] Is there a network that has voice chat room that Linux has a good client for it ? Hopefully that can use voice chat ?

(all are sdX1) I got blanks for all but one (which was ext3 instead of mac) [04:30] Helios: a matter of taste really; you can see some screenshots via distrowatch.com links [04:30] wat's the real duifference in kubuntu and ubuntu...

They should show up as 770 , with group plugdev . [04:33] CarlFK, seems all your ballroom devices are /dev/sd?3; :) use for i in /dev/sd?3; ... [04:33] rockstar_ a sec while I pull out my external [04:33] CarlFK, maybe not all, but quite a few of them [04:33] unop_: doh. how did that happen... :) [04:34] CarlFK, that i wouldnt know :) [04:34] Is this ubuntu beta allready stable to one small linux desktop?!

[05:10] unop_, nope ... ; ( [05:11] Scientus, That will take a long time and ask questions of you by the way [05:11] jappdev: well i got essentially the same result with Transmission, and whatever the default client in Ubuntu 7.10 is [05:11] dimitree, bahh -- gksudo nautilus /home//.Trash [05:11] Is there a code to get the latest Java and have Terminal do it? Excuse a n00b question here please [05:11] oh, well, are you comparing the same torrents? [05:12] unop_, nope again :/ [05:12] dimitree, see also /root/.Trash [05:12] ok [05:12] !java | brambo [05:12] brambo: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:12] which package might be responsible for usb/pci-setup---i though that was part of the kernel?? [05:12] osxdude, same goes for other audio softs i'm running, they error msg me that jack is not set up. [05:12] jappdev: no but all the ones i have tried have had lots and lots of seeds. i.e. close to 1000 for the one i'm trying now and getting 2kB/s [05:12] ! skydome [05:12] dimitree, you've got something really wrong there -- that should work, i've just tested it out [05:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about skydome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:12] ! skydome [05:12] ok [05:13] unop_, maby its 8.04 folt ?

[05:13] btw i have no root/.trash ( show hidden enabled, sudo nautilus) [05:13] Is 'shutdown -r' the same thing as 'telinit 6'? man shutdown seems to say that [05:13] onefunk, hmm... are you sure jack is running? [05:14] dimitree, could be -- maybe you could do this .. sudo -s; cd /home//.Trash; nautilus .; [05:14] unop_, is there a separate trash for the normal user and for root ? [05:14] bcgrown: if your client isn't setting bandwidth limits, and you don't have a firewall blocking the connections, i don't think i can be of much help, sorry. anyone else? [05:14] dimitree, yes, as I mentioned above.. seperate trash [05:14] dimitree, if that wont work - sudo -s; cd /home//.Trash; rm "stubborn file's name"; [05:14] dimitree, yes, indeed [05:14] just installed irssi.. shouldn't it be in my net folder? i had to invoke it with a term. [05:14] which repositories should I add to my ubuntu? [05:15] dimitree, fyi, the above is not one one command but steps you should take [05:15] !gutsysources | Ubunt1 [05:15] Ubunt1: 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). [05:15] Ubunt1, enable all except proposed and backports [05:15] you can do it as one command though with the semicolons [05:16] Scientus, not this one -- because of how sudo is used there [05:16] ahh [05:16] Jordan_U: is there a easy way to install it through terminal? I can't make heads or tails of the link that was sent above... [05:16] > can i build a network in vmware and then deploy it to servers???? and what would i use to do that---would changing them to physical servers kill-them, could they boot off real hardware after configuring/installing on virtual hardware [05:17] Jordan_U: I am on Ubuntu Gutsy 7,10 AMD 64bi [05:17] bit [05:17] brambo, you still trying to sort your problem out?

[05:19] brambo:one sec [05:19] jappdev: okay, ty [05:19] dimitree, i dunno then .. find out where the file is, use the command line and delete it [05:19] dimitree, the dot means hidden so make sure you enable show hidden files etc [05:19] brambo, There should be a utility within Firefox to install it [05:19] bash: cd: /home/dimitree/.Trash: No such file or directory [05:19] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [05:20] is there a ubuntu app that reads .chm files? [05:20] Jordan_U: I did install Java, just some sites I can view on other computers, I cannot view on mine.., [05:20] Jack_Sparrow, yep show hidden enabled, no .Trash or Trash under /root/ and no Trash and .Trash under /home/dimitree/ [05:21] ehc: gnochm [05:21] Jordan_U: Java and Javascript are enabled in my FireFox...

[05:23] Jack_Sparrow, sudo nautilus Trash folder empty , only nautilus Trash folder contains the folder i want to delete [05:23] yep, looking at it now [05:24] oh crap :) [05:24] I have vino-server installed and working, but when I start Ubuntu without a monitor, I can only loggin remotely at 640x480. pls help, [05:24] ooh, onefunk I see the problem. jack is failing to load. use a different audio driver, I would suggest [05:24] dimitree, browsing to trash after "sudo nautilus" isnt going to take you to the user's trash folder, it'll take you to roots === a123456789 is now known as JohnMM [05:24] brambo: you do not have the 'multiverse' repository enabled [05:25] !multiverse |brambo [05:25] brambo: 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 [05:25] alright i'll give it a try, osxdude. i'll let you know how it goes. [05:25] jappdev: and how do i enable it? [05:25] dimitree, whats the name of the file you want to delete -- put it in this command here. find ~ -iname "*filename*" [05:25] dimitree goto a term and type in "cd ~/.Trash" [05:26] then do a ls === cherry is now known as Charitwo [05:26] brambo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources [05:26] nyarly, he claims the directory doesnt exist [05:26] dimitree@dimitree-desktop:~$ cd ~/.Trash bash: cd: /home/dimitree/.Trash: No such file or directory [05:26] if i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a -phigh should i get out of my gui [05:26] fstab: "/dev/md0 /media/md0 ext3 rw,user,auto,exec,defaults 0 0" but "cannot touch `/media/md0/x': Permission denied" [05:27] dimitree, try .trash instead [05:27] and how do i so a terminal-only login with everything else enabled [05:27] unop, when i click on the folder and do propertys in the trash it says Location trash:/// [05:27] dimitree, just run the find command and you should find out where your trash folder is [05:27] what do I need to do to make that writable? (just my one user) [05:27] can some one give me a list of sudo commands? like a site or something [05:27] unop, so the folders location is trash:/// ??? where the hack is that [05:28] unop, is he looking for a file or sumtin? [05:28] jappdev: at that link I see the images, is there something I do not have checked in my Software Sources window? [05:28] unop, so the folders location is trash:/// ??? where the hack is that ? [05:28] Djmack: sudo allows you to run a command as the 'super user' or root, so you can run almost any command with sudo to give it 'admin' rights [05:28] dimitree, man, forget nautilus, it's crazy that way -- "trash://" isnt a real location on the harddrive [05:28] unop, ok i willt ry to search the folder [05:29] just want to know some commands [05:29] dimitree are you looking for a file u searched for in nautilus? [05:29] i understand that sudo is full access [05:29] brambo:yes the bottom item, it has '(multiverse)' out to the side of it, make sure its checked [05:29] u guys looking for the trash loaction in nautilus? [05:29] jappdev: it is checked [05:30] osxdude, wow the things i learn in a day. i tried the driver "dummy" (go figure) and it works thus far. thanks. cheers. [05:30] brambo: then do an update (apt-get update) and try to install it again. btw, your running 7.10 right? [05:30] CarlFK, how were you trying to mount when you got that message? [05:30] pls how to get wvdial in 7.10 cmd line syastem [05:31] jappdev: yeah ill try that...yeah im on 7.10 gutsy 64bit [05:31] rafa_, we know how to get to the trash folder, just that dimitree doesnt seem to have the standard location [05:31] unop: $ mount /media/md0/ [05:31] CarlFK, errm, only root can do that [05:31] mkdir ~/.Trash ??? [05:31] jappdev: just apt-get update ? [05:32] you'll need sudo apt-get update [05:32] CarlFK, if you want users to mount that way, you need pmount [05:32] CarlFK, best thing -- sudo mount -a [05:32] unop, it was in /home/dimitree/.local/share/Trash/files/ lol :) deleted it with sudo nautilus :) thanks a million ! [05:32] dimitree, bahh.. must be a hardy thing this new trash location [05:32] yea >_> [05:33] jappdev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6252/ [05:33] must be with the move to gvfs, this trash thing [05:33] unop: sudo mount /media/md0/ - still "cannot touch `/media/md0/x': Permission denied" [05:34] unop: doesn't the "user" option let a user mount it? [05:34] so is there a list of commands anywhere? [05:34] I have the broadcom43xx wlan chipset and I tried the whole thing where u blacklist it and it started working but it won't pick up some networks [05:34] help? [05:34] why can't ubuntu run multiple instances of aptitude? [05:34] is there a way I can modify it to do so? [05:34] Djmack, commands for what? [05:35] refrax perhaps no database locking? [05:35] jappdev: thats what I see after I did, sudo apt-get update [05:35] sudo [05:35] amenado: what do you mean? [05:35] brambo: i think that your issues is because you're using the 64bit version, i have a x86 and an x86_64 pc, and i just tried to install the plugin on the 64bit version and got the same error, while it works just fine on the 32bit pc. [05:35] refrax you know that dpkg uses a database right? so if you have multiple users trying to modify the database..what will happen? [05:35] Djmack, what are you trying to run? sudo lets you run a command as root [05:36] jappdev: I think I have ran into this problem before, is there anyway to go to 32bit without losing everything? [05:36] !sudo |Djmack [05:36] Djmack: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:36] dimitree, you could change " rw,user,auto,exec,defaults" to "rw,defaults" since defaults includes the others anyway [05:36] CarlFK, ^^ [05:36] sorry dimitree [05:36] npz :) [05:36] amenado: I am only using it, is it possible to allow multiple instances [05:36] CarlFK, what happens when you try -- sudo mount -a [05:36] ? [05:37] refrax you didnt answer my question, what would happen to the database if several process trying to modify it? [05:37] amenado: I don't know [05:37] unop: still "Permission denied" [05:38] refrax and thats the reason why only one access to it at a time should be allowed [05:38] jappdev: basically you can't do as much with 64 bit? [05:38] refrax, how many drivers can a car have? what happens if a car has 2 or more drivers? :) [05:38] brambo:well, some packages are not compiled for 64bit [05:38] like taking a road trip with m,y mother in law [05:38] amenado: I just don't understand why it isn't possible, if windows can run multiple instances of windows installer. [05:38] Any way to get ActiveX stuff to work through Wine? [05:38] CarlFK, does /media/md0 exist? [05:38] unop: yes [05:38] brambo: flash, wine and java are the big problems [05:39] jappdev: hm yes i have had problems with Wine also... [05:39] CarlFK, does it have anything under it? ls /media/md0/* [05:39] refrax why does this matter? just curious, is there a deeper meaning behind all of this? [05:39] unop: before or after I mount /dev/md0? [05:39] brambo: the issue is fixed in hardy, and there are some work arounds, but most are quite involved and rely on using alpha software [05:39] jappdev: flash recently has not been giving me much trouble [05:39] refrax i already told you, only one process can lock the database so it does not get spoiled [05:39] CarlFK, well, it doeant appear that it's mounted .. but before [05:39] nyarly: yes, I can't install anything until updates are done, and they take quite a while. [05:40] jappdev: am I able to upgrade to another version of ubuntu without losing much of my setup here? [05:40] refrax, u just install?? [05:40] refrax i think you have to learn to be patient instead :) [05:40] refrax, windows installer also does not let you run multiple version of the installer, it just depends on what the installer is doing to be liberal enough [05:40] unop: nothing before. it does get mounted, ls /media/md0/ = lost+found [05:40] Kles: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [05:40] i agree be patient man [05:40] unop: I can install skype and photoshop cs3 at the same time? [05:41] I have no problem with ubuntu, or linux at all, I love it, I use it for my servers and some home pc's, this has just been bothering me [05:41] brambo: yes, the safest way to do that is to back up your home directory, and then do a clean install of the version you want, then copy your home directory back [05:41] refrax u can string togehter the whole repository if you wished and it would crunch away to install it all, much like your update that is running right now [05:41] refrax, well, technically you shouldnt do that, and with some new versions of the installer, you cannot do that -- like installing m$ office and wmp at the same time, wont happen [05:41] jappdev: where can I find more info on hardy? is it any different looking etc? [05:41] brambo: and that will keep all of your settings, preferences and files, as long as you've been saving the them in your home directory like you should [05:42] jappdev: oh you mean like write my stuff to a CD etc? [05:42] CarlFK, so there is something under there? [05:42] how do you exclude packages wehen you dpkg-reconfigure [05:42] -a [05:42] unop: once I mount it, yes [05:42] brambo: i've been running the pre-release versions and its ok, it won't be offically released until april though so if your ok living on the edge for a few weeks, you can upgrade [05:42] i cant figure it out with man [05:42] jappdev: I'm pretty new to Linux in general still, I'm not sure where alot of things have been saving...:-S [05:42] CarlFK, so it gets mounted? but where is this permission problem coming from? [05:43] Im trying to make my screen display go vertical. In XP i go properties>settings> etc. How do i do it in Ubuntu? [05:43] brambo: the default is your home directory, so unless you've gone out of your way to put it somehere else, its there, as far as backing up, a CD or a external hard drive is your best bet, depending on how much stuff you have [05:43] unop: as user, I can mount it, (mount shows /dev/md0 on /media/md0 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) ) but I can't write [05:43] (i know i might get yelled at since I use hardy, but..) is it possible to upgrade dell's custom linux-backports-module to allow it to be used in the 2.6.24 kernel? [05:44] i have the ftdi-sio module running (as shown by lsmod) .. how can i unload it? [05:44] jappdev: I see, sounds too involved for me right now...I will just have to stay with what I got for now.. [05:44] how do i access the display options? [05:45] jappdev: my CD drives haven't been working with me and I don't got any other type of storage media.. [05:45] hey nyarly [05:45] hey bud [05:45] need some help [05:45] wuz up? [05:45] having trouble iwth my /ect/fstab [05:46] cause its not pulling up my ntfs drive space [05:46] brambo: yeah, I'd wait until the offical release of Hardy [05:46] and i read the small tut on how to fix it === draven_ is now known as draven [05:46] but it doesnt even look bad [05:46] jappdev: what is the major difference from Gutsy to Hardy? [05:46] it just isn't mounting it or is it giving an error? [05:46] how do i re-run the install hardware configuration files [05:47] spkg-reconfigure xxxxxxxxx ???

[05:59] it will not let me scroll all the way through the license agreement to allow me to select that i agree [05:59] jappdev, will that preserve all my games, programs, files, settings, and stuff? [05:59] amenado: so I tried 'man xranda' and it reads- choose 'left' to rotate the screen but where do i enter 'left'? [06:00] i cd into /media/sdb1 and it came up with a blank [06:00] hello...how secure is it to do banking online with Ubuntu? [06:00] mechanicalchris-> you want to have a stiff neck? [06:00] my guess is real secure... but take one of the admins word [06:00] mechanicalchris-> try xrandr -o left [06:00] Has anyone got a moment to answer a quick question about cron jobs? [06:00] hotmonkeyluv: if you back up your home directory it will keep all of your settings, files and other data, you'll need to reinstall any software you've added, but it will keep all the settings and other personal files [06:01] amenado: no, vertical display is better for viewing web pages I have 2 monitors [06:01] sean-admin: ask and if someone knows they will answer [06:01] Nasra you're using firefox to do it, it's as safe as using firefox in windows [06:01] Djmack, so you cd to /media/sdb1 and then ran ls? [06:01] Nasra, as lot as the security certificate and stuff works with it, just about the same. [06:01] or were you already in it? [06:01] [06:01] Nasra, lot = long [06:01] [06:01] mechanicalchris-> on a terminal xrandr -o 3 just for kicks [06:01] jappdev, ok, thanks~ === RoAkSoAx is now known as roaksoax [06:02] installing sl [06:02] hello [06:02] Ok, so I'm trying to kick off a script to start amarok, load a playlist, and wake me up in the morning. The script works when launched from my user account. [06:02] ok done... [06:02] What do i need to install to avoid needing the DVD ever again for software installs???? [06:02] nikrud / fbc /...you guys answered my question for a better releif..... [06:02] I put the following line in my user crontab via crontab -e [06:02] 30 6 * * 1-5 /home/sean-admin/scripts/cron/wakemeup.sh [06:02] and a train animated across terminal... >+< [06:02] ...and nothing happens. [06:02] >_< === roaksoax is now known as RoAkSoAx === RoAkSoAx is now known as RoAkSoAxX [06:03] amenado: Im placing these commands in the terminal but nothin [06:03] deecver: edit out the dvd from sources.list or place ## in front of that listing [06:03] i edited syslog.conf to try and make sure everything cron related makes it to a log [06:03] Anyone know how to get ActiveX working in programs that need them? [06:03] ..and nothing. [06:03] i've got two ubuntu boxes on a home network, but they are not showing up in each others' "network places" folder. Any suggestions as to why? [06:03] (i.e. not webpages, but actual programs) [06:03] Djmack, sl?? [06:03] type "ls" [06:03] Nasra, I would say even safer because most of the things that exist (exploits) and stuff don't target linux. [06:03] Kles: has MS open-sourced activeX? [06:03] Ok...so the reason it requested the DVD was because it took it as a Repository...Not because I need to install some source or header files it'll occasionally want??? [06:03] egc: do you have samba installed and public shares setup (see system->administration->shared folders) [06:04] hello, i am having issues all the suden. i started cairo-dock, and then all my apps left my gnome task bar. when i close out of the dock, still nothing. i know the apps are still runing, because i can see them with the system monitor. it would be nice if this is fixable without restarting X. [06:04] deecver: right [06:04] yea it told me to "sudo apt-get install sl" [06:04] so i did that [06:04] from my point of view ...everything upon til now....it's working I should better than windows in all aspects ... [06:04] bazhang: you're awesome bro..thanks [06:04] ftc....correct [06:04] and i ran "sl" in /media/sdb1$ [06:04] ummm you type in ls and it told you to install sl [06:04] ? [06:04] bazhang: Probably not [06:04] oh shit [06:05] that is a cool app though, gotta keep that one around [06:05] damnit... i feel like a tard now [06:05] olol [06:05] jappdev: i don't have samba installed. I'm checking the shared folders now [06:05] no biggie man [06:05] k [06:05] i get nothing when i type ls [06:05] fbc: for what I can see even Skype works better with sound and even talking ....just installed it [06:05] Kles: then no idea really; you mean running a windows game in wine? #winehq could help you there [06:05] how do i get cairo-dock in english? [06:06] egc: if you're only networking between linux boxes, you can use nfs, if you need to connect to windows boxes, you'll need samba installed [06:06] Erickj92: what version do you have? === RoAkSoAxX is now known as RoAkSoAx [06:06] refrax, the newest one from the respitories [06:06] Nasra, yes, you do not have the overhead that windows causes on your line...update schedules, and trusted installers.. yuck... I dislike windows. [06:06] jappdev: ok, installing nfs now [06:06] Djmack, type "sudo umount /media/sdb1" [06:06] egc: for nfs: sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server [06:06] anybody want to get a momentary stiff neck.. try on a terminal.. xrandr -o 3 [06:06] !ohmy | Djmack [06:06] Djmack: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:06] thanks [06:07] Erickj92: the latest one I have from here is in english https://developer.berlios.de/projects/cairo-dock/ [06:07] hmmm, okay [06:07] Djmack, then run the previous command i gave you. [06:07] fbc...you know like in Windows thereis a program access my pc from anywhere ....which program do I use for that purpose? [06:07] not mounted [06:07] jappdev: thanks for this suggestion, I wasn't thinking along these lines at all ;) [06:07] vim has a default color scheme if you have it set to on yes? [06:07] it says its not mounted? [06:07] refrax, do you know of any setting to get it in english though? [06:07] Erickj92: not that I know of, sorry [06:08] ok thanks refrax [06:08] Nasra, And god forbid your index service while your on skype... For remote control you can use VNC.. it built in... you just enable the remote desktop... [06:08] well i typed mount this time [06:08] Djmack, ok "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config [06:08] how do i see my kernal version? [06:08] and it gave me 3 options [06:08] Nasra, SYSTEM>>PREFERENCES>>REMOTE DESKTOP [06:08] fbc: VNC? [06:08] ok [06:08] hobbitboy, uname -r [06:08] allo === cat is now known as lastoneever [06:09] thanks [06:09] Djamck what options? [06:09] !away > lastoneever [06:09] fbc: VNC...does it need to be installed? [06:10] 1 is telling me that windows is still using it some how and that i need to 'Safely Remove Hardware' [06:10] Nasra, Yes, The remote desktop system uses the VNC protocol for remote control. so any VNC compatible client will work.. tightVNC is one that I like. [06:10] I'm using huge amount of ram, and I'm not running anything out of the ordinary, any tips on what I can kill to try and free up some of it?(free say's I'm using 911MB, which I can only hope is wrong) [06:10] Does Gnome log any events and where, which file? [06:10] Nasra, no, once you enable the option it's automatically running. [06:10] hi guys, i have a question, if i do a lspci, it is supposed to show my wireless card that is connected to a PCI slot right? [06:10] 2 tells me that i can force the option with the command "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 -o force" [06:10] which is what we did [06:10] or i can add some random command line to my fstab [06:10] Nasra, You do however, need to install the VNC client on the machine you will be controling your ubuntu desktop with.. [06:10] what you gave me forced? [06:11] fbc: I just love Ubuntu / linux....beautiful [06:11] RoAkSoAx: aye it should [06:11] Djmack, should have been yeah [06:11] try the command it gave you [06:11] how do I update my java to version 6? [06:11] with a sudo up front [06:11] tyler_d: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [06:11] system monitor says nothing is using more than 20MB of ram, so where is all my ram going? [06:11] scragar, the kernel uses memory for the file cache too and that can take up some considerable space -- usually you dont want to tweak things, the kernel can automatically allocate or swap memory based on need [06:12] fbc so you saying that I will need to install VNC in the machine...let me just do it right now.....thanks alot [06:12] Nasra, another satisfied consumer. :-) [06:12] djmack@Djmack:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 -o force [06:12] $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [06:12] so [06:12] im guessing [06:12] Djmack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:12] also [06:12] bazhang, what can i do if it doesnt?? NM-Applet shows me the wireless networks but when i try to connect it just wont connect or it closes [06:12] Nasra, yes, that is correct [06:12] go back into windows and shutdown properly? [06:12] I still CANNOT GET this Quake source port to install [06:12] I'm wondering if it'd just be more efficient to run the damn thing through Wine with a Windows port [06:12] jappdev: thank-you [06:12] Djmack, do you have ntfsprogs installed? [06:12] HELL...ow all!!!! [06:12] like? [06:13] or [06:13] is that a program? [06:13] fbc had I known that linux was so great and free .....especially Ubuntu Dist ..would it have done long time ago....oh yup [06:13] Djmack, sudo sh -c "aptitude install ntfsprogs; ntfsfix /dev/sdb1" [06:13] Nasra, for example on the computer in my office I run the TightVNC client (windows version) to control my ubuntu computer @ home. [06:13] amenado got nothing with priority=low [06:13] RoAkSoAx: via gui or cli? [06:13] Djmack, it's possible i suppose. but i have never seen it [06:13] im on 8.04 beta [06:13] > im on 8.04 beta amenado [06:13] #ubuntu+1 Scientus please [06:13] unop: it's not cache, 11MB is cache, the 911MB is unacounted for... [06:13] CC build/nqsw/in_x11.o [06:13] common/in_x11.c:28:36: error: X11/extensions/xf86dga.h: No such file or directory [06:13] I don't understand why it is doing this [06:13] Which file stores my network config?

[06:14] i need help installing a external hard drive for samba? [06:14] mechanicalchris-> on a terminal xrandr -o 3 just for kicks <-- you did not do this? [06:14] bazhang, i also have wireless extension on wlan0 but still won't connect [06:14] well... what it gave me is that my computer shut down bad... cause i was playing a game and it froze so i manually restarted and came straight to ubuntu [06:14] Nasra, the client is so small (500K) you can even run it from a USB memory stick. So you don't need to install it into any computer if you don't want to. [06:14] RoAkSoAx: not much for gui myself; maybe someone else here can help with that [06:14] w0w, sorry. just ran system monitor with root perms, apparantly lot's of process are using large amount of ram(Xorg is using 60MB for example) [06:15] bazhang, thanks though :) [06:15] what folder do you plays .tff fonts in? [06:15] mechanicalchris: I think you have me confused with someone smart like amenado ;] [06:15] Djmack, well i guess try and fix the shutdown issue and then comeback to ubuntu and run that force command i fgave you earlier [06:15] Makuseru: ~/.fonts [06:15] ignore that tut also [06:15] am not smart its the guy bazhang that you need :P [06:16] what do I have to install so that u-server will mount usb drives when I plug them in?

[06:22] I suspect with the network problem, I need to ignore the ubuntu gui tool and look at the config directly, but where is it and whats it called? [06:22] mechanicalchris hm. I'm messing with it here, had it work before ... [06:22] Smegzor: what kind of network are you on that it requires you to change your ip everytime? [06:22] nasra, goodnight I must go..

[06:23] Smegzor-> look in /etc/network/interfaces [06:23] i don't know but simply editing the ip makes it 'wake up' and go online. not touching the network gui means I'm offline [06:23] fbc....great [06:23] do "df -h" to see if wich disks are really mounted [06:23] lxuser, it can't be /dev/sda1 then -- it has to be something else [06:24] thanks [06:24] is there any way to get dell's custom linux-backports-modules working in the 2.6.24 kernel?

Is this a very difficult thing to do? and will I be able to get WebDAV running? [06:51] SpencerStarnes: I believe the common way to implement webdav is through libapache2-svn [06:51] amenado: someone suggested this xrandr --screen 0 -o left --verbose [06:51] tonyyarusso: alright.

Because, this is honestly just for my family and myself. I'm at college, and need a way to remotely back up files. [06:52] SpencerStarnes: Well, there is a bit of a learning curve to anything, but the Ubuntu "Server Install CD" has simple checkboxes for LAMP, FTP, and Samba as far as installation and basic setup, leaving just the additional configuration you want to do.

Saves me lots of money. [06:55] I input 'xrandr --screen 0 -o left' nothing happens [06:55] yea man i dont think it records mic's [06:56] tonyyarusso: Now, unfortunatly, I'm going to be running this from a cable connection, do you think that there are places I can just give the box to, and pay to run it? or not?

[06:57] SpencerStarnes, those are more expensive than you want them to be === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [06:57] mechanicalchris-> are you using compiz? or just a plain desktop metacity? [06:58] tonyyarusso: Eessshh.. yeahhh.... [06:58] SpencerStarnes, its usually better to rent a server directly off them, its usually cheaper because your servers takes too much space [06:58] svenstaro: yeah. I'm wondering now why anyone would do that. [06:59] does the concept of permissions apply to files moved from ext3 to FAT? [06:59] amenado: dont know wut a 'metacity' or 'compiz' is. I have a dell vostro slim tower with a standard intell graphics card [06:59] SpencerStarnes: Running on your home cable connection works for most things though. I was on the digg.com front page once with a server on a home connection, and the failure was I/O due to MySQL and a lack of proper caching, not the network connection. [06:59] egc: no. === r00t_ is now known as DaemonLee [06:59] tonyyarusso: wow. [06:59] mechanicalchris: those are window managers [07:00] tonyyarusso: that would explain the "Operation not permitted." message i get when trying to alter the perms ;) [07:00] Aight folks. First question of the day. Why does FF freeze on flash/YouTube Videos and so forth? [07:00] kindofabuzz: how do I find out which one i use? [07:00] mechanicalchris: you on gnome? if so, metacity [07:00] tonyyarusso: Yeah, basicly the only thing I really want this for is personal remote back up. I have a mac, and WebDAV would be amazingly useful, as I can have that automaticly mount for me. [07:01] !fffc | DaemonLee [07:01] DaemonLee: If Firefox is crashing on sites using Flash try adding "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" to /etc/firefox/firefoxrc (ref: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911 ) === ethan961 is now known as Winklefins [07:01] kindofabuzz: ubuntu 7.10.

[07:03] I have a couple of questions about my external hard drive [07:03] mechanicalchris: learn 7.10 first =) [07:03] mechanicalchris: a) it will be 8.04, not 8.0, b) not if you do it right. [07:03] what is the best formatting option for an external drive, ext2 or ext3? [07:04] does anyone know a lot about powernowd? [07:04] kindofabuzz: fair enough. sure wish it was easier to rotate my screen though [07:04] hi [07:05] mechanicalchris do you have the compiz manager installed? [07:05] do i get that from the repository or online? [07:05] repository [07:05] im on it [07:06] Every time I click on the show desktop button on my task bar, gnome-panel freezes up and I can't open gnome-terminal. [07:06] What does it mean? [07:06] hello [07:06] A [07:07] hey all.... going through driver hell... running dell vostro 1500 w/ gutsy. messed up resolution and decided to uninstall/reinstall restricted nvidia driver. only problem is that screens and graphics keeps resetting it to vesa.... can i uninstall/reinstall screens and graphics or anyone have any ideas??? [07:07] kindofabuzz: I want the "Advanced Desktop Setting: Configure Compiz withCompizConfig" download right? [07:07] Josh2, ext3 if you have sufficient space [07:07] I am trying to get tapioca or Telepathy to work for a client. I read tapioca support voice chat with gtalk . So any one know of a client that use either or them ? [07:07] mechanicalchris: yup [07:08] mmm tapioca [07:08] From what I read tapioca is the framework not a client . I think [07:08] my graphics are screwed up too. I have an integrated 845 intel chipset and I cant even get gnome working after I tried setting a new resolution for my new monitor. [07:08] thanks, my drive is currently formatted ntfs but I don't want to lose the data on it. I've made an ext3 partition on the end of the drive, can I move the files directly from one partition to another? [07:08] or do I have to move them to my computer drive, then back to the external? [07:09] kindofabuzz: its installed [07:09] mechanicalchris: ok go to system > preferance > advanced desktop settings [07:09] Josh2, best you copy the data locally first and then do what you have to do .. any data you haven't backed up is data you don't want. [07:10] pwnt [07:10] kindofabuzz: yup [07:10] great.. netsplit.. [07:10] mechanicalchris: ok you want cube? [07:10] hey all.... going through driver hell... running dell vostro 1500 w/ gutsy. messed up resolution and decided to uninstall/reinstall restricted nvidia driver. only problem is that screens and graphics keeps resetting it to vesa.... can i uninstall/reinstall screens and graphics or anyone have any ideas??? [07:10] mechanicalchris: first go to general settings up top there [07:11] Every time I click on the show desktop button on my task bar, gnome-panel freezes up and I can't open gnome-terminal. How do I fix this? [07:11] sirjoebob; start off with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg .. during that you'll be able to select which driver you want to use [07:11] kindofabuzz: yup [07:11] how can i change the umask for an external usb drive formatted with FAT when it automounts? [07:12] mechanicalchris: desktop size =4 [07:12] When is 8.04 going to be out, approx? === Seveaz is now known as Seveas [07:12] mechanicalchris: desktop size > horiz. =4 [07:12] kindofabuzz: im trying to rotate my monitor vertical [07:12] oh sorry [07:12] r00723r0, this is worth a try, at a terminal try this command - sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-panel === xelpud is now known as fduplex [07:13] mechanicalchris: oh i just thought you wante the cube [07:13] Jlalk: 4/24 [07:13] egc, FAT has no concept of permissions, so a umask will always fail on a FAT volume [07:13] mechanicalchris: just play around, you got all your compiz stuff now [07:13] can anyone point me to a primer on customizing my desktop to make it look cool? [07:13] legend2440: I am thinking about changing from Windows to Ubuntu.. Should I just wait on that release , being "so soon" to it? [07:13] unop, I will try that. [07:13] er.. [07:14] kindofabuzz: im trying to rotate. i WENT TO THE ROATATE TABE AND IT HAS THE OPTION BUT NO BUTTON TO HIT [07:14] egc, didnt you just find out that FAT has no permissions? [07:14] sorry bout the caps. [07:14] Jlalk: hard to say there may be bugs for first few months in Hardy [07:14] kindofabuzz: i think its very difficult to do in ubuntu. several pros ive chatted with havent had any luck [07:14] unop: ok, so I'm a little confused. I'm using unison to sync two directories, but one is on an external drive. When unison tries to modify the files on the FAT filesys it fails...so im looking for a workaround. [07:15] Can anyone tell me what gconf-editor is? [07:15] StevenX, its like the registry editor on windows. [07:15] How would i follow this command: In gconf-editor, set apps->avant-window-navigator->bar->bar_angle to -1. [07:15] unop, how do I get to it? [07:15] legend2440: true.. I am finding less and less reasons to keep staying on windows, when it just keeps going slower and slower. [07:15] StevenX an editor for the GConf configuration system [07:15] Hi all, I've got a problem with vnc4server. Every time I try to log in from windows I have to go to my ubuntu machine and click the "allow" button on the dialog that comes up. This somewhat defeats the purpose of a vnc server in the first place. Any ideas how to skip this dialog box so it lets me log right in without confirmation? [07:16] unop, I think it helped. [07:16] egc, I don't know what unison is.. but isnt there a way to tell it to detect that the destination filesystem is a FAT one? [07:16] legend2440:I was told Linux doesn't "tear down" like Windows? [07:17] StevenX, type gconf-editor at a terminal [07:17] unop, thanks. [07:17] hey [07:18] unop: hmm, it seems there's not [07:19] Jlalk: well you could dual boot windows and ubuntu to make sure all your hardware works with ubuntu [07:19] egc, guess you'll have to use nautilus after all [07:19] I am loving ubuntu more and more by the minute. I think the only reason to go back to Vista is to do serious productivity stuff. Linux Office Suites can't really touch what MS can offer, but I love everything else about ubuntu. [07:19] legend2440: i tried, but I kept getting my space going to "Unusable space" and booting from an external USB2 ran VERY slow. [07:19] KrisWood-> did you click on the security settings ask for confirmation? [07:20] unop: nautilus as in drag/drop from one to the other? [07:20] My space going to unusable, before I could make a swap, that is. I would get the ext3 in [07:20] egc, aye [07:20] amenado, no clue what that means :( [07:20] but then I couldn't use the 'unusable space' for swap === cim_pui is now known as rara_jelek_ [07:21] KrisWood-> you look at preference->remote desktop ? [07:21] I currently have 3 partitions, 2 are Dell's system restore, and system utilities, then the main space (NTFS) [07:21] unop: ahh, its many gigs worth of stuff so i'll need to figure out an automated way to do this. I may have to reformat the external drive as ext3, in order to keep them sync'd. [07:21] thanks tho [07:21] After I resized the main space, NTFS, I was able to make ext3 in the new free space, but then , for some reason, all the left over space went to 'unusable' [07:22] amenado, trying that now :) [07:22] egc, you can always run this command.. rsync -av /source/dir /dest/dir [07:22] amenado, that was it! :D thanks! [07:22] In Ubuntu, how do I use CLI to search for where a program is located? (for example, gxine) Is there a way to make a bash command to open a program by just typing its name in? thanks [07:22] applecucumber: whereis [07:22] thanks [07:22] unop: yup, unison is built on top of rsync, to go in both directions. But you're right, that may work for now [07:23] I even tried resizing the new ext3 down even more , to make more room for swap [07:23] But it kept saying "unusable" [07:24] Jlalk: I had a drive once that wouldn't take more than 5 partitions [07:25] Get_A_Fix: Maybe that's the issue? [07:25] hi [07:25] Jlalk:Is it possible to put the Dell stuff on a dvd ? and get rid of thos parts ? [07:25] Get_A_Fix: I don't think so. [07:26] Get_A_Fix: I was thinking about reformating windows soon , with system restore. So, I figured I would give Ubuntu a try first [07:27] Jlalk: If you're going to do that anyway, then try Ubuntu without Windows, see if that works [07:27] Jlalk:you can always put Windows back if you really wanted to [07:27] Get_A_Fix: yeah. My concern seems to only be if printer sharing is going to work right [07:27] I found gxine by typing "whereis gxine". its in /usr/bin. I tried typing "./usr/bin/gxine" and it wouldn't open. instead i had to cd to that directory and type gxine. Is there a way to just open a program while being in a remote folder? thanks! [07:27] Jlalk: works great for me [07:27] Get_A_Fix: I know I could get file sharing to work. [07:27] Get_A_Fix: I did it on my old system before I got this one , with Xubuntu. [07:27] applecucumber: eliminate that leading . [07:28] applecucumber; do gxine by itself [07:28] Get_A_Fix: Even with one XP, and one Ubuntu ? [07:28] Jlalk: you know what - most things just work! [07:28] ok i'll try those ideas. thanks! [07:28] Get_A_Fix: I am a person that wants things to just work. But worry about them not. [07:28] lol [07:28] unop: thanks for the help, i've gotta sign out. [07:28] applecucumber: the path is /usr/bin/gxine, with no "." in front. Of course, /usr/bin/ is already in your path, so just typing "gxine" will work. [07:29] Jlalk:got an ME machine, two Ubuntu machines, one Mac and one Win 200 server box, (about to be history) - and one old HP all in one [07:29] for some reason flash isnt working right in firefox [07:29] wait wait [07:29] you actually run ME on something? [07:29] I can't see anything when I go Places>Network. Can someone please help me? [07:29] it was working before [07:29] punzada: duh, its a toaster driver [07:29] oh ok thanks. I thought "./" means to run a program so i put the "./" at the beginning [07:30] i dont know whats going on now [07:30] Get_A_Fix: today I found an answer to my download manager issues.. wget. I couldn't find any GUI program , or one that ran in windows, to copy the rapidshare cookie over, and have a schedular (spelling) [07:30] Get_A_Fix: now the printer is the only thing left to worry about [07:30] punzada: sadly yeah - I refuse to pay for an OS again - but I have to run NeverWinter Nights Toolset, so I'm stuck [07:31] the only thing different iv done is updated from java5 to java6 but i dont see where that would have any thing with flash not working [07:31] god ... that poor hardware [07:31] just pirated something, if you got caught with that I think even microsoft would understand :| [07:31] lol [07:31] Get_A_Fix; possibly try VMWare to run windows.. i use windows 2k in VMware all the time for the wifes must have 'word perfect' [07:32] vmware is nice [07:32] virtualbox is nice as well [07:32] requires some love though [07:32] Jlalk: what kind of printer is it [07:32] any ideas? [07:32] I use virtualbox for work VMs of XP all the time [07:32] works great [07:32] HI [07:32] Can a file be owned by more than one user or group? [07:33] There are 2 thermal monitors for my CPU available: acpi/cpu and libsensors/core0 [07:33] bastid_raZor:I'll look into that - I'd love to dump you what altogether [07:33] which one is more trustable? [07:33] benanzo, no, but you can use ACL's [07:33] eh, all software ones seem to lie from my experience, get a case with a temp reading ;x [07:33] punzada:I'll look at that too, thanks guys [07:33] though that's not standard in Ubuntu [07:33] punzada: it's a notebook. ;P === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [07:34] Seveas where do I set an ACL for a specific file? [07:34] Can't get another case, heh [07:34] fair enough :P lol [07:34] hmm, my notebook only reads acpi so I have to use that [07:34] I have an 6.06 Ubuntu which came with Firefox 1.5. I ended up downloading Firefox 2.0.12. However, when I type Firefox in CLI, it opens Firefox 1.5. Should I copy the Firefox program from the 2.0.12 folder to /usr/bin/ folder to replace the "firefox" in /usr/bin/ ? thanks! [07:34] benanzo, very good question :) I fear google or searching the ubuntu wiki will help you more than I can [07:34] I don't think it's very accurate though [07:34] Get_A_Fix: the one in the living room , on the XP machine, is a Brother (something or other) fax/printer, and the one attached to this computer is a Dell Photo Printer 540 [07:34] Ok thanks [07:34] if you can pull sensor readings I would suggest going with that [07:34] Get_A_Fix: the one in the living room is a Brother FAX-1860C [07:34] applecucumber; yes [07:35] punzada: libsensors' one is higher [07:35] applecucumber; you could uninstall 1.5FF then copy it over. [07:35] oh ok maybe i should unisntall 1.5. [07:35] I can't see any shares in my Network menu (not even my own computer). I am using Samba. Any help please? [07:35] Jlalk:I'd bet that they both just work [07:35] how much of a difference? what temps are reading? what kind of cpu load are you under right now? [07:36] applecucumber; i currently have 3 different versions of firefox installed.. just named the bin something different .. firefox firefox1 firefox2 [07:36] Get_A_Fix: I know in windows all you do is 'find printer on network' , then it 'installs the drivers' . But I don't see how it's going to install 'the drivers' if this computer is going to Ubuntu ? [07:36] Jlalk:not sure about the fax part though, mine's a copier/scanner/printer and it all works well [07:36] Get_A_Fix: I don't care about the fax mumbo jumbo, I'll go in the living room to do that. I just want to use it for normal paper copies [07:36] Jlalk:you can do a whole lot of forgetting about installing drivers with Ubuntu [07:37] oh ok maybe i should try that (naming it firefox2) [07:37] yup :) [07:37] not sure how to do it though hehe ;-) [07:37] Get_A_Fix: I just want it to be able to print it's photos here, and me to print webpages, notes, etc , to it [07:37] Jlalk:it even picked up the memory card reader in the printer [07:38] Get_A_Fix: interesting. [07:38] Get_A_Fix: I am finding less and less reasons to stay on windows, I found that even Quake3 and 4 will work === miha is now known as MikeS_Bel [07:38] hey how do i get the presets to work in audacous? i tried to load the eq.preset file, but no presets appear :S [07:38] Warcraft III works great in Ubuntu+Wine [07:38] Jlalk:I did have to say that I wanted to add a Network Printer and tell it what kind, I think that was about it [07:39] Jlalk:and NWN and Doom3 [07:39] Even on the Xp machine? [07:39] I've played both WoW and CS 1.6 & Source through wine perfectly [07:39] Ya [07:39] I figure mIRC will run good under Wine, now that I have a fair processor , instead of a p2 450MHz ? [07:39] I mounted an ntfs-3g partition with the force option. Now when I try to mount that disk on a windows box it won't let me mount it. Is there an easy fix? I've been stuck with chkdsk running for +6 hours hoping that might resolve it [07:39] All it did on the p2 was jump around channels, like some kind of dumb chicken , and lag [07:39] Jlalk: why not use a native program? (like pidgin, xchat or some other) [07:40] did you unmount it before trying to mount it in windows Yashy ? [07:40] hischild: cause of all the scripts I put in to mIRC [07:40] no, I didn't unfortunately [07:40] Jlalk:you'll find most things you want are already installed [07:40] You will have to boot back into nix, unmount it [07:40] Jlalk: you can also script in xchat [07:40] hischild: we're talking hours and hours [07:40] How can I obtain a list of the executable programs that belong to the 'GNOME system tools'? [07:40] and then mount it in windows [07:40] #gnome [07:40] i meant to do /join #gnome [07:41] Get_A_Fix: ok [07:41] punzada: I've just tried to unmount it in linux and mount in windows with no luck [07:42] did it cleanly unmount in linux? [07:42] Should I convert my externals to FAT32 , or will NTFS be OK for Ubuntu , and I'm talking not getting correupt my some kind of 'strange oopsy writing' ? [07:42] by some kind* [07:42] I'll try again, brb [07:42] Hello all [07:42] Jlalk, the ntfs-3g driver is stable as hell now [07:42] feel free to use NTFS [07:42] punzada: ok. [07:42] Jlalk:gotta go, thanks people. [07:43] Jlalk; http://www.fs-driver.org/ is the driver for windows to read ext2/3 [07:43] hell ain't stable ;0 [07:43] Anyone willing to give me a hand with an ALSA sound mixer problem on Gutsy? [07:44] I'd love to find out why my soundblaster card will randomly stop working, then after 30 or so reboots, start working again, and then repeat [07:44] ;x [07:44] poorly seated? [07:44] naw it's secure, that's one of the first things I looked at [07:44] I might change the slot it's in [07:44] see if I get better performance [07:44] I've just been lazy ;x [07:45] that would be another option... i'm not a big fan of creative (any more) [07:45] yeah I built the pc back in 03 [07:45] however, i do still have my good ol' SB16 isa card [07:45] I never use my card to the advantage it deserves [07:45] and my oh-lord-i-had-to-have-one roland mt-32 [07:46] I listen to music on a 2.1 setup that any onboard system can do ;x [07:46] lol [07:46] Malachite-m: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [07:46] thanks, bullgard- I'll check that out [07:46] 7.1 surround here, and i only use 2.1 [07:46] not so good. chkdsk on windows seems to have deleted the contents on the 100GB partition [07:46] -.- [07:46] MS or not, chkdsk doesn't delete things [07:46] Hey, how do i find out your wireless cards chipset? === doolz is now known as dooley [07:47] hades_, lspci? [07:47] even with chkdsk /f /r ? [07:47] usb is lsusb? [07:47] I'm pretty sure it did [07:47] if every sector was bad... [07:47] then i guess it's possible === hades_ is now known as Hadeshorn [07:48] Anyone know why if I open a program (eg gxine, firefox) with CLI, i cant close the terminal window without also causing the program to close? Is there a way to leave the program running with the terminal closed? thanks! === dooley is now known as doolz [07:48] but highly unlikely that chkdsk is going to wipe the *entire* contents on a disk [07:48] physically the disk is good, ubuntu mounting it could have altered the full partition table or something [07:48] applecucumber, program & [07:48] the & makes it run as a background process [07:48] could also just be the tables are all wiped, hence why it looks empty [07:48] cool! thank you! [07:48] boss....bosss.. tolong join di xcat gimana? [07:48] plus, you should use exit at the terminal to close it [07:49] rather than the handy little x in the corner [07:49] okay, new question: boot options noapic nolapic will disable ones' USB ports, correct? [07:49] wong indonesia ada ngga [07:49] it shouldn't [07:49] it disables power management [07:49] but i'm not 100% on that [07:49] so don't quote me [07:50] * punzada quotes and publishes [07:50] hmm. well I have an interesting issue: my computer's USB ports do not work, and I had assumed it was because of that. in any case, does anyone have a handy USB troubleshooting link? [07:50] lol "D [07:50] anyone know DevilSpie? [07:50] How do I edit /etc + visudo so that is added to the 'tty' group and has default write permission to the /dev/pts/0 files? [07:50] could someone tell me why the pcnet32 module is loaded by default in jeos 7.10 [07:51] hi to all [07:51] could someone tell me why the pcnet32 module is loaded by default in jeos 7.10 instead of the vmxnet module [07:51] anyone can help me [07:51] I tried typing "gxine &" and it opens gxine put terminal puts out "lirc: cannot initialize - disabling remote control ...." . I cant seem to close the terminal window and keep the program still running either. ideas? thanks! [07:51] *but [07:51] i need to configure ubuntu for tablet pc [07:51] ugh, my entire parition table for the disk is fscked [07:51] not just the ntfs partition [07:51] applecucumber, how did you close the window? [07:52] by clicking on the upper right hand corner X [07:52] that's why [07:52] and I'm pretty sure it's from chkdsk /f /r [07:52] use the exit command [07:52] ok ill try that thanks [07:53] hi [07:53] hey it works :-) [07:53] i ll greatly appreciate if someone can help me install my broadcom wireless [07:54] rahul is it plug and play? [07:54] hello everyone....could some one direct me to where I can find info on locating and installing flash media player for ubuntu? [07:54] no, I am using ethernet now [07:54] jay, flash for firefox? [07:54] VLC can handle flv files if I'm not mistaken [07:54] i tried many things [07:54] yes firefox [07:54] like ndiswrapper and all but didnt work [07:55] oh, are you on 64 or 32 bit ubuntu jay? [07:56] http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [07:57] thanks for the assistance...just getting started in linux...so every bit up help means a lot [07:57] you can download it from that website and look under the tar.gz installation instructions. hope it works :-) [07:57] we all started somewhere :) [07:57] ya installing those plugins took some time hehe [07:57] ?? [07:58] um, wait what? can't you just install flash from the repos? [07:58] thanks again...I am off to work on it now...I will let you know [07:58] cool [07:58] 阿罵 [07:58] so, I have USB music player/flash drive thing, shows up when I probe the USB ports, but it doesn't mount and doesn't seem to be recognized beyond the terminal level in any way. any ideas? [07:58] v、 [07:59] [07:59] ㄇ [07:59] [07:59] wtf [07:59] rahul, see if this website helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174 [07:59] Jay, if installing from the tar.gz becomes complicated or you would like to go the more 'debian' route you can install it by typing 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' in a terminal window [08:00] help..i have installed hardy on my laptop using safe graphics mode,and im stuck with 800x600 resolution [08:01] how can i adjust it? [08:01] <_ruben> !hardy [08:01] 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 [08:01] wow it's coming up in april already [08:01] that's good stuff [08:01] I'm trying to get the mail(); function to work on ubuntu, but I don't think ubuntu has a SMTP server. How do I install one? [08:02] <_ruben> alecwh: sudo apt-get install postfix [08:02] _ruben: is that it? [08:02] <_ruben> alecwh: that'll install a mailserver (postfix) .. not sure if thats enough to make mail() work, though [08:02] Hi All :-) is there some program i can use for overclocking on graphic cards ?! [08:03] I have a problem getting NFS to work. When i mount the /home folder, it defaults to /home/iositd instead of /home. Is this because i'm missing something? [08:04] heh [08:04] x_ found a thread on ubuntu about graphics cards http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175436 [08:05] x_ NVIDIA OR ATI ?? [08:06] that website was Nvidia [08:06] I have a 4-core system but when I run folding at home, it only wants to use about 2.5-3 cores. It runs 4 processes, but they never take up 100% CPU each [08:06] they're all around 50-60% [08:07] _ruben: Ok, I'm installing it, but it's asking me for a configuration. I don't have a domain connected with this server, I just am testing some scripts on localhost. What should I choose? [08:07] xaxxon: can you set the amount of processes higher? like to 5 or 6? [08:07] hey Punzada I l am new..so please tolerate my dumb questions but don't see the debian option..I see tar.gz,yum and rpm [08:07] not in the normal config... [08:08] Jay, you can install from a tar.gz on debian if you wish [08:08] <_ruben> alecwh: not sure what they call it, but there's an option for "sending mail only" [08:08] but I would reccomend you get used to the debian 'apt-get' system [08:08] as it is *much* more beginner friendly [08:08] xaxxon: i've seen that before and the only solution i could find was to manually increase the amount of spawned processes. [08:09] install it by typing 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' in a terminal (without quotes) , it may ask you if the filesize to install is okay, answer yes and it should install it all for you without any further prompting [08:09] hello to all. i have a problem. i can not connect to my access point in wireless because knetworkmanager doesnt show any wireless connection. the strange thing is that i use wlassistant and it connects without any problem (i am using wlassistant now) can anyone help me with this please === KnifeHat_ is now known as KnifeHat [08:09] ok...I will do that now [08:10] snake_: #kubuntu [08:10] _ruben: these are the options: No configuration, Internet site, Internet with smarthost, Satellite system, Local only. [08:10] hischild_: you are right. sorry [08:10] snake_: np [08:10] Hey, my local ubuntu mirror limits connections and tempbans for 5 minutes if you exceed them, is there a way I can limit apt-get's connections? [08:10] How can I obtain a list of the executable programs that belong to the 'GNOME system tools'? [08:11] _ruben: know which one it is? [08:11] Plantain: apt creates multiple connections? afaik it just downloads one file at a time [08:12] bullgard4: check what files are installed in /bin directory, which you can check in synaptic [08:12] I'm trying to create an ssh mount accross the internet to use a server to store stuff on, but am concerned as to the availability of the whole of the hard drive to anyone using the mount. I've googled but am getting more confused in my searches (or just not good at search terms for sucha thing) - could anyone here offer any support? ---a search keyword? [08:12] hischild_: Not from what I can see :/ [08:12] Plantain: can you explain a bit more? [08:12] bullgard4: can you do a dpkg -c on the package ? [08:12] amorphous, the best things for you to do, is change the default port, and use an extremely secure password [08:13] amorphous: if you can use SSH tunnels, you can use NFS shares. [08:13] phita [08:13] I don't think there is much else you can do in the way of further securing an open ssh connection [08:13] punzada ssh keys ? [08:13] punzada: tcp wrappers ? [08:13] hischild_, ssh tunnels? easy to set up, hischild_ ? [08:13] punzada: allowed user list ? [08:13] hischild_: If I visit the mirror in my browser while I'm tempbanned, I just get "IP Connection limit exceeded, tempbanning" [08:13] well allowed user list i figured was without saying [08:14] punzada, hischild_ i'm using 'add network connection' and failtoban & RSA... that not enough? [08:14] amorphous: IMO they're fairly easy to setup. Can you explain to me what you are concerned about? [08:14] Plantain: your banned from using a mirror ? [08:14] I have a large USB drive I want for two functions 1) share files with ubuntu/bsd/macosx 2) backup files those people can't access, recommendations? [08:14] what mirror is it Plantain ??? [08:14] Plantain: odd. Why not use the normal ones [08:14] filearena.net [08:15] Yashy: use samba to share the files out, or NFS [08:15] <_ruben> alecwh: im guessing "local only" or "satelite system" .. depending on if you want to be able to send out mail somewhere other than localhost [08:15] pulseaudio + via audio controller? [08:15] Plantain: filearena.net isn't an ubuntu mirror [08:15] ikonia: "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C dpkg -c /usr/share/doc/gnome-system-tools/; dpkg-deb: error reading version number from file /usr/share/doc/gnome-system-tools/: Is a directory." [08:15] hischild_: Because this is a local mirror, free download [08:15] ikonia: it's via internet. Samba via internet is a bad idea [08:15] ikonia: I mean to portably share files [08:15] _ruben: hmm, let me try both [08:15] ikonia: Maybe not an official one, but it's mirrored there... [08:15] hischild_, the way i'm doing it at the moment it gives access to the root directory. I want them to be sort of 'chroot'ed into a data directory. tunnels the answer? [08:15] hischild_: rsync [08:15] bullgard4: network-admin [08:15] services-admin [08:15] shares-admin [08:15] time-admin [08:15] users-admin [08:15] legend2440: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:15] Plantain: I had no idea [08:16] amorphous: you can use NFS to give them access to a specific directory which will appear as a local directory (that's what i'm using at home now to sync my laptop and main box) [08:16] punzada - i hear that - not default port & RSA [08:16] hischild_: I would suggest things like fuse, but I'm not a fan of that over the internet either [08:17] amorphous: securing that via the internet can be done via SSH tunnels (which is what i do to get access over the internet) [08:17] legend2440: Is this list complete? [08:17] ikonia: i prefer nfs and ssh [08:17] hischild_: I agree, but over the internet, seems a hassle to setup tunneling === RoAkSoAx is now known as roaksoax [08:17] bullgard4: yes === roaksoax is now known as RoAkSoAx [08:18] legend2440: Thank you very much for your help.

[08:18] .wc [08:18] ikonia: just a single command line .... that counts as easy for me =) [08:18] hischild - and with view to the future (after the daunting step 1 ;) - would you have advice on giving them access over the internet from a m$ machine? is that a samba job? only I'm having massive issues with an xp box accessing a home server here (and printer :( ) [08:19] How do I make gnome-terminal open full screen be default? [08:19] amorphous: i'm sorry, i was under the impression you wanted linux to linux file sharing over the internet .... for windows you can use samba yes [08:19] hischild_: the single commands not an issue, but to set it up securly on the server side is a bit over kill. [08:19] Hi, if I use 'yum' it complains about failing import python's cElementTree module, but if I do an 'aptitude install python2.5-celementtree' nothing is installed and the error remains [08:20] Could someone tell me what package provides network-admin, and/or how to find this out myself? [08:20] ikonia: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html <-- which can be combined with key authentication [08:20] hischild_: he said bsd and mac, not windows [08:20] hischild_: his target is changing [08:20] :-D [08:21] ikonia: hm can't find that ... tnx for the reminder [08:21] pulseaudio remove ? [08:21] ikonia: read about 10 lines up, he wants xp? === uChuL is now known as DWI [08:21] hischild_: ughhh, I missed it, intially he wanted BSD and mac [08:22] Hewus: gnome-system-tools [08:22] hischild_, you were right. I got a few machines I want linux-to-linux so all files on a central (linux) server. - once that's done I'm gonna have to make the files available to xp users from the (linux) server. that's where the samba's gonna come in, eh... [08:22] legend2440: thank you [08:22] amorphous: yes. linux to linux is using nfs, for linux to windows you can use samba [08:23] hey guys, i just reinstalled ubuntu, before i reinstalled i had changed something so that the usplash would show detailed messages under the progress bar, but i forgot what it was i changed... how can i get this back? [08:23] ikonia: now we've got it =) [08:23] How does one get the list of partitions by UUID? [08:23] blankthewhattheh: blkid [08:23] hischild_, thanks. good to feel the anxiety's slipping away a bit ;) [08:24] thanks ike_x [08:24] ff ikonia [08:24] amorphous: anxiety? why? it's all fairly easy and you got us to help you ;-) [08:24] how do i get FireFox beta 4 on ubuntu? [08:24] Erickj92: I don't think it's in the repo's [08:24] how do i get it though? [08:25] how do i install enlightenment? [08:25] <--- just installed kubuntu and when i try to access my external usb hard drive it says... hal storage removable mount all options refused uid 1000.... what do i do? [08:25] Erickj92: you'd have to download a pre-compiled binary package or build it your self [08:25] hischild_, is samba good to go in gutsy, do you know? And do you also know if the firefox issues are sorted - I'm having to make a long drive today to re-install gutsy due to endless problems on an upgraded from feisty box. [08:25] MrBarrett: it's trying to mount it as the user with a uid of 1000, look in /etc/passwd to see which user that is [08:25] amorphous: IMO yes [08:25] hischild_, help offer massively appreciated :D [08:26] hischild_, thanks [08:26] amorphous: it's all fairly easy to do (at least easier then in windows) and if you use a bit of logic you'll prevail [08:26] jscinoz: if you install startupmanager in synaptic there is an option to show text during boot [08:26] thanks [08:27] ikonia wheres that? [08:27] MrBarrett: where is what ? [08:27] etc/passwe? [08:27] <_maw> >.< [08:28] hischild_, i'm off to read up on me NFS & tunneling, then my drive to cardiff to start afresh. Thanks for support - gives faith in the breed ;) [08:28] /etc/passwd - is a file called passwd in the /etc direcotry, hence /etc/passwd [08:28] amorphous: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html for ssh [08:28] amorphous: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html for nfs [08:28] amorphous: good luck :-) [08:29] hischild_, and a fine day of all good things to yourself, sir :) [08:29] thanks ikonia, in downlading it now [08:29] im* [08:29] where is etc? [08:29] amorphous: that already happened ;-) === uChuL is now known as dwi [08:29] punzada, thanks for help [08:29] MrBarrett: in your root directory [08:29] anytime [08:30] hischild_, more for tomorrow then :P === dufeeducky is now known as radja_langit [08:30] amorphous: haha thanks :-) [08:31] MrBarrett: ok - forget that, as it's clear your going to struggle to do this [08:31] MrBarrett: open a terminal if you can and type "id" paste the one line response you get into this channel [08:31] do you know what option should I modify in Visual effects - custom preferences to avoid windows borders to get sticky to other windows ? [08:32] id [08:32] toplok: sticky windows should do ;-) [08:32] MrBarrett: no - type that in a terminal, and paste the output into this window [08:32] i.e. if I move a terminal window, I don't want to get "joined" to the bottom border for a while [08:32] toplok, disable in wobbley windows [08:32] sorry [08:33] you can still have the wobble, just uncheck snap inverted or something like that [08:33] ikonia: if you need more text from him, let him install pastebinit and pipe the text into that :-) [08:33] MrBarrett: don't worry [08:33] I need to get gnome-vfs module running so I can use gdesklets - how to install and run it pls [08:33] hischild_: he can't open a file - installing packages at the moment is out of the question [08:34] Another question, where does Ubuntu hide it's fonts folder? [08:34] found passed [08:34] ikonia: give him the correct liek --> sudo aptitude install pastebinit && | pastebinit (Please provice link in channel) [08:34] ericjones_, friction ? [08:34] *link [08:34] found passwd [08:34] MrBarrett: just type id and give us the output [08:35] its snap inverted toplok, at the very top in wobbly windows [08:35] ericjones_: snap windows [08:35] uncheck it [08:35] Oh yeah, one more thing before I make the switch, what is someting to monitor tempetures , like Speedfan in windows [08:35] !sensors [08:35] he wants the wobble without being sticky i believe [08:35] You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [08:35] !sensors [08:35] thats in wobbly windows [08:36] ericjones_, ok, that did it, thanks! :) [08:36] you're welcome [08:36] where do i type id? [08:36] MrBarrett: in a terminal, [08:37] terminal? [08:37] yeah Terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal [08:37] MrBarrett: one moment, let me think about the best way to take you through this [08:37] I'm trying to get my PHP scripts to be able to send mail from my Ubuntu 7.10 machine. I have sendmail installed (via apt-get), and now when I go to a PHP script that sends mail, it takes FOREVER to load, and no mail is sent. Can someone help? [08:38] is it a good idea to use a server for desktop use also. (linux)? [08:38] alecwh look at the apache log and the mail log to find out what's going on, put some debug in the php script [08:38] troofy: not really [08:38] ikonia why not [08:38] ikonia: where are the logs at? I'm fairly new to Ubuntu. [08:38] troofy: it's a fine idea to use the desktop install [08:38] troofy: because the desktop install is better suited to desktop use [08:38] alecwh: /var/log [08:39] ikonia: which logs specifically? [08:39] ikonia you mean i can use desktop install as a server too and as a desktop use too. at same time? [08:39] alecwh: mail and apache (http) I think it's called [08:39] <_maw> troofy: also desktop use could cause unecessary load on the server and affect performance [08:39] troofy: a desktop install will work fine as a server os [08:39] i am having issues installing FF 3 beta 4 [08:39] Erickj92: it's not supported by ubuntu [08:39] <_maw> desktop / server installs of ubuntu can make use of the same packages [08:39] Erickj92: speak to the firefox developers [08:40] _maw: they sure can [08:40] <_maw> ya, I said that as a statement :P [08:40] _maw ikonia but a desktop install can be used as server and as desktop use at same time? [08:40] ikonia, what do you mean its not suported? [08:40] <_maw> troofy: I understand what you're asking and the answer is "yes" [08:40] it is not officially recognized and provided support to [08:40] <_maw> but why would you want to do that? [08:41] Erickj92 it's not in the ubuntu repo's - therefore the version you've got is a pre-compiled binary from an extneral source, therefore nothing to do with the ubuntu community to support it [08:41] Why sometines when login in there a error "Error Gnome setting DEamon etc.." ? [08:41] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m11eb6130 [08:41] that's my mail lo [08:41] g [08:41] <_maw> troofy: whoever is using that server as their "desktop" could impact performance and maybe introduce security issues [08:42] Firefox question on Ubuntu 6.06: 6.06 normally comes with Firefox 1.5. I downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0.12 on my ~/Desktop , and copied and symbolically linked ~/Desktop/firefox/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox. When I type "firefox" in terminal, it says "cannot find mozilla runtime directory. exiting" . any ideas about what to fix? thanks! [08:42] alecwh: are you using a cable/DSL connection [08:42] ikonia: yes [08:42] _maw for example? [08:42] <_maw> a virus? [08:42] <_maw> open email? [08:42] <_maw> virus.. = owned [08:42] <_maw> by by server [08:42] <_maw> *bye [08:42] _maw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:42] applecucumber, it may be expecting the exec dir to be the ffox dir [08:43] alecwh that may be your problem, your trying to use a dynamic/cable address range to talk directly to googles smtp relay [08:43] eno [08:43] ?? [08:43] is it easily fixed? [08:43] alecwh: the line DSN: Service unavailable is a bad sign [08:43] ok so should i try to move the ~/Desktop/firefox file somewhere? hmmm [08:43] Hi all, can anyone help me install flash unsing the tar.gz file pls ? [08:43] alecwh: sendmail also can't qualify your dns hostname which won't help matters [08:43] ok ikonia, it's not important enough to fix then. Thanks anyway! =D [08:44] BlueEyes_Jhb: you don't need to, get the package flashplugin-nonfree [08:44] ikonia the install script keeps failing with error 404 so I downloaded the file myself [08:44] hi [08:45] help! my computer can't play back divx type movies... it used to be able to, but now it doesnt...... ideas? (gutsy) (i can hear audio, but i see green lines and no real video) [08:45] hello, how can I find out if a service is set to boot up or not? Do I just have to check the rc directory manually to see if it's linked to the init.d service? [08:45] i have a new MS sandisk 4gb for my psp but my pc won't mount it :( im using ubuntu 7.10 [08:45] BlueEyes_Jhb: I advise against that so your ubuntu package managment stays in sync. [08:45] troofy, think about how many of the security updates are at server components. _maw: consider how few ports will get opened on public interfaces, and how low profile of a target a home user is [08:45] <_maw> arooni: a codec is broken, I guess divx [08:45] _maw, how do i fix [08:45] anyone?.. :(( [08:45] I mean find out if a service is set to start at boot [08:46] ai3gtmc: what file system is on it ? [08:46] fat32 [08:46] ikonia suggestions then because my synaptic works fine on everything else, I even downloaded the file from the same machine the script gives the script gives 404 error [08:46] ai3gtmc: what does the syslog say [08:46] poppy security updates of server a more than desktop? [08:46] misc--, there is an easier way, 1sec [08:46] troofy, no, far less [08:46] hmm whats syslog? ikonia ? [08:46] poppy: no probs [08:46] BlueEyes_Jhb: if your getting a 404 it means the link on the adobe site is unreachable [08:46] <_maw> poppy: sure, I just would never run server programs on my desktop. [08:46] poppy so i should use desktop install ? [08:46] poppy so what should i do. i have on pc. [08:46] i got it i change it in right click properties [08:47] troofy: a desktop install [08:47] ikonia I copied the link from the script while it was running and downloaded the file so the link is ok [08:47] misc--, aptitude install sysv-rc-conf [08:47] <_maw> arooni: have you installed any new media type packages lately? [08:47] troofy: it's geared towards desktop hardware, and packages such as restricted drivers are not available on the server install [08:47] _maw,not to my knowledge [08:47] BlueEyes_Jhb: then re-try the synaptic package [08:47] poppy: ok... [08:47] ikonia poppy what problems can i get. [08:47] troofy: problems with what ? [08:47] ikonia oh ic [08:48] ikonia mixing server use + desktop [08:48] ikonia, what's syslog? [08:48] troofy, you *can* use a desktop install. It's *possible* there will be a security vuln that will get taken advantage of [08:48] ai3gtmc: /var/log/messages [08:48] <_maw> arooni: I have had issues like that before, I was lazy to troubleshoot so I installed VLC player and that fixed it. I then removed my other player [08:48] troofy: use a desktop install, what "server" packages are you thinking of using ? [08:48] hey...I still cant seem to get this flash media player going. anyone have the link to download it from the repository [08:48] poppy securit vuln like open ports? [08:48] jay: what media player [08:49] ikonia dont know. havnt tried yet [08:49] troofy, however, server apps are just as vulnerable, however they are much more likely to actually be found and fixed ;) [08:49] troofy: use the desktop version. [08:49] flash media player tar.gz [08:49] Mar 31 16:40:39 dave-linuxbox kernel: [ 1829.712425] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 0 ikonia this is the last line [08:49] troofy: make sure to plug your firewall close if you have a desktop. [08:49] troofy, no, as in, someone runs a program and magically has root on your box [08:49] jay: is it available in the ubuntu repo ? - what's it's real name [08:50] ikonia poppy ok... i hope my desktop use will not be slow because of the apache or irc daemon running at background. i have p4 1.8g 1g ram [08:50] troofy, but it's really unlikely unless someone's targetting you [08:50] k [08:50] troofy: it will be no quicker or slower than if you are running the server install [08:50] that I really don't know...someone sent me a link for it earlier...it seemed to be connected [08:50] ok [08:50] troofy: however trying to run an irc daemon on a DSL/Cable line is a bad idea [08:50] ikonia poppy but il be more comfortable with desktop instal [08:50] jay: then we can't help [08:51] troofy, server apps are pretty good at being quiet unless there is traffic... are you planning on running a public website or anything like that? [08:51] ikonia poppy i can install all server apps i need in a desktop install too ? [08:51] troofy: you won't notice a difference. I usually run a gameserver or 2 on my desktop, which use a webserver for additional downloads... still don't experience any downside on it [08:51] troofy: which ones do you need ? [08:51] troofy, you'll most likely be fine with a desktop install. I'm a server software developer and i do it :P [08:51] poppy my websit only . some friends webs too. not much though. one ircd. [08:52] troofy, of course, it's all linux :) [08:52] oh [08:52] hi ubuntu noob here. I just installed a 500gig HD and now I cant see either the new one or one of the old ones [08:52] troofy: check the terms and conditions of your isp [08:52] hischild_ ic [08:52] troofy: running irc on a home connection is not a good idea [08:52] i had an unclean shut down with my external hdd ntfs how do i regulate it? [08:52] ikonia, i was about to say that :) [08:52] well I downloaded flash media player to my desktop but what is the next step...sorry just a newbie [08:52] xp-killer: sudo mount /dev/yourhd -o force [08:52] xp-killer: boot into windows [08:52] what ikonia? Whats wrong with running any server from home really? === uChuL is now known as asti [08:52] hischild_ popey ikonia, but when ill download a file. torrent or direct download. the users of ircd or website will be effected... no? [08:52] no [08:53] troofy: yes they will be effected, they would also be effected if yoru using a server install [08:53] hischild_ popey ikonia, ok [08:53] troofy, how many users are you expecting? [08:53] troofy: thats a limit of your connection - not your OS [08:53] will my wireless usb modem work on kubuntu 7.1 cd version installed?? [08:53] poppy 1000 [08:53] heh [08:53] ikonia: i dont want to go all the way in windows it haracing [08:53] anyone? e. I just installed a 500gig HD and now I cant see either the new one or one of the old ones [08:53] xp-killer: to defrag/checkdisk ntfs - you have to [08:53] Greets.. how can I unpackage a .package in Terminal? [08:54] troofy, that changes things. [08:54] LDS_Trooper: uh, what is it? [08:54] hischild_ popey ikonia, i think a firewall will help if i limit connection speeds to different apps..? any suggestions? [08:54] troofy: your expecting 1000 users ! [08:54] <|ismael|> i cant use ekiga :( [08:54] ikonia ya [08:54] troofy: thats insane [08:54] tonyyarusso, its a game [08:54] i got the usb drive going [08:54] troofy: use iptables [08:54] troofy: on a home connection ? [08:54] LDS_Trooper: what game? [08:54] tonyyarusso, armagetron [08:54] ikonia i already have 625 [08:54] LOL [08:54] hi! what will be the effect if i remove the search domain in my resolv.conf? actually, my server automatically created a search domain in my resolv.conf [08:54] troofy: define "user" [08:54] setting up a dedicated server [08:54] ikonia like this chanel has 1120 users [08:54] ampmaniac: the domain won't be appended [08:55] troofy: oooh irc [08:55] ikonia ya [08:55] troofy, which means you're gonna be a target [08:55] LDS_Trooper: You don't. You 'sudo apt-get install armagetron' [08:55] troofy: never mind, but you're still going to be limited by your connection [08:55] hi all... [08:55] hischild_ iptables can restrict quata or dl ul limits to specific apps? [08:55] How can I tell if my graphics card is working 100%? [08:55] ikonia will my usb wireless modem work on kubuntu 7.1? [08:55] how i configure a pcmcia wifi ( i use smc) [08:55] tonyyarusso, this is on a remote server not my home machine [08:55] poppy target for what? [08:55] MrBarrett: noidea [08:55] troofy, run server... and do you know much about sysadminning? [08:55] i use ubuntu 7.04 [08:55] LDS_Trooper: So? [08:56] troofy, getting pwned [08:56] poppy pwned? [08:56] tonyyarusso, will that give me the dedicated server edition? [08:56] troofy: attacks/exploited on your machine [08:56] poppy, seriously, as if. [08:56] poppy no. iam not a good admin [08:56] !wifi | yo2k MrBarret [08:56] hello! [08:56] yo2k MrBarret: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:56] tonyyarusso, we do have shell access through PuTTY [08:56] troofy, when you invite 1000 people into your house, odds are at least one will be an asshole. [08:56] LDS_Trooper: armagetrond-dedicated then [08:56] hi, is there a command line tool to resize jpegs, which is NOT imagemagick or graphicsmagick? [08:56] ok thank's, go to there [08:56] ikonia poppy for attacks. server install is good. or i can tackle it with destop too? [08:57] LDS_Trooper: either way, you should be installing from the repos, not random files you find online that aren't even for your distro. [08:57] !netsplit [08:57] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:57] troofy: you'll find pretty much zero difference in a server/desktop install [08:57] troofy, no install will save you [08:57] :D === uChuL is now known as asti [08:57] poppy :) k [08:57] popey, stop being a doomsday book [08:57] ikonia hm [08:57] it's no where near that bad [08:57] poppy ikonia thx.. iam geting ddos i gues. gtg. [08:57] ttyl! [08:58] tonyyarusso, one sec [08:58] whdd [08:58] ikonia, what should i do? [08:58] blankthewhattheh, what were you saying now? ;) [08:58] ai3gtmc: is there any errors/warnings in the syslog about your drive [08:58] nope [08:58] ai3gtmc: tail -f /var/log/messages then take out and re-plug in your drive [08:58] yay netsplit [08:59] ride the netsplit [08:59] <_maw> troofy: are you on a new linux install right now? [08:59] <_maw> you might want to get iptables up [08:59] Argh...can anyone help me get macromedia flash installed ? [08:59] !flash | BlueEyes_Jhb [08:59] BlueEyes_Jhb: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:59] ikonia, what do u mean byt that?.. srry im a linux noob.. [09:00] oh snap, there's a popey in here [09:00] tonyyarusso, the .package is from the arma site and its what they offer for linux.. one sec while we try the spt-get option [09:00] ai3gtmc: open a terminal, use the command "tail -f /var/log/messages" then re-insert your usb disk and see what happens in the other window [09:00] poppy: been here a long while [09:00] popey, right, i haven't. i was wondering where the nick completion came from [09:01] you weren't here last time i was around :P [09:01] <_maw> troofy: ftp://anonymous@116.71.188.171 (this is why you want IPTables) [09:01] LOL [09:01] ikonia, here's the output Mar 31 17:01:10 dave-linuxbox kernel: [ 3058.865503] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [09:01] Mar 31 17:01:10 dave-linuxbox kernel: [ 3058.865560] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [09:01] tonyyarusso, the sudo apt-get install armagetron-dedicated says "couldn't find package armagetron-dedicated" [09:01] LDS_Trooper: that's because you mistyped it. There's a d in there. [09:01] ai3gtmc ok, so it's detected it ok [09:02] LDS_Trooper: apt-cache search armegatron [09:02] anyone here use rpm on ubuntu? [09:02] ikonia, yeah but i can't mount it :( [09:02] xp_prg, you mean with alien? [09:02] hey popey the page u sent doesnt support 7.10... [09:02] no ubuntu has rpm [09:02] do apt-get install rpm if you want to see :> [09:02] lol http://www.bbspot.com/News/2000/9/linux_laid.html for all the ubuntu dev's working hard out there! [09:02] xp_prg: but using redhat build rpm's on ubuntu is silly [09:03] xp_prg, does that keep track of conflicts and overwrites tho? [09:03] xp_prg: it exists, but is remarkably foolish. [09:03] not if your trying to make a centos domU [09:03] in xen [09:03] xp_prg: then you don't install it in ubuntu - you install it in the target vm [09:03] hello [09:03] well I have to use the rpm utility to do that! [09:04] xp_prg: no you don't [09:04] xp_prg: when you install centos in the VM it comes with rpm installed [09:04] guys - is it possible that compiz-fusion is that unstable that once i turn it off my machine really works ok ? [09:04] xp_prg, i think you want to use the iso of CentOS to get a vm up [09:04] if i use google earth - i get random hangups [09:04] WilcoJR: yes, though there's probably some other problem then. [09:04] like i slows down till it dies [09:04] WilcoJR, in 7.10 is buggy for me [09:04] ok [09:04] so im not nuts :) [09:05] WilcoJR: it very much depends on your graphics cards and drivers [09:05] * poppy isn't gonna make that judgment call ;) [09:05] well i updaed my latest drivers (nvidia) to 169.12 using envy and the latest compiz-fusion from the repos [09:05] does anyone know how to get ntp to sync time with the server from the command line ? [09:05] Does and one know the cli command for getting free space on a hdd? [09:05] !envy [09:05] any constructive help for installing macromedia flash in 7.10 ? [09:05] 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 » [09:05] WilcoJR: that could be one of the problems [09:05] everything usulay works fine - just using google-earth kills the machine :) [09:05] problem found === hischild_ is now known as hischild [09:05] swilky, df [09:05] !works-for-me [09:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about works-for-me - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:05] ty poppy [09:05] oops [09:05] ikonia, how so ? 169.12 is the latest so far it works wonderfully for me - much better h the built in 100 drivers that came with ubuntu [09:05] !worksforme [09:06] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

(gutsy) (i can hear audio, but i see green lines and no real video) [09:06] lol yeah that's it [09:06] ai3gtmc: mount it manually [09:06] how? [09:06] ikonia, - can you please explain ? [09:06] arooni: disable compiz and try again :-) [09:06] tonyyarusso, just running the commands now.. one sec.. [09:06] hischild, compiz is disabled ! ;p [09:06] tonyyarusso, thanks by the way [09:06] arooni: hmm ... tried a different video player? [09:07] WilcoJR: the versions of the nvidia driver will have different stability / compatability depending ont he version of the kernel you run and the applications it runs with, ubuntu test the versions they support, you've used later drivers that may have issues witht hat version of the kernel/compiz/ubuntu in general [09:07] sudo apt-get install fdclone [09:07] i see [09:07] E: Couldn't find package fdclone [09:07] hischild, yup you'er right; why doesnt totem player play correctly? [09:07] i didnt understand that it of an issue with the kernel [09:07] ai3gtmc: in the syslog what device file does it assign [09:07] WilcoJR, if you want latest and greatest, install 8.04 beta and report bugs :D [09:07] WilcoJR: it's not an issue with the kernel, re-read what I typed [09:08] ikonia, /dev/sdc [09:08] arooni: can be a couple dozen reasons. Try see if any of the settings got screwed up or something, or force a reinstall of it [09:08] ai3gtmc: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt [09:08] ok [09:08] ikonia, is says mount: you must specify the filesystem type [09:08] hischild, i dont have any settings i setup; so i'm comfy blowing them away.................. how do i force reinstall? [09:08] ikonia, let me rephrase kernel/driver compatibilty [09:08] hmm [09:08] ikonia: ! ... why mount a drive at /mnt and not a decent mountpoint? [09:09] how stable is 8.04 beta? [09:09] hischild: to just test his drive is mountable [09:09] WilcoJR: it's because the latest driver isn't perse the best. [09:09] ikonia: i c [09:09] WilcoJR: it's a beta [09:09] uh oh [09:09] guys but why is this that the latest drivers are not suppose to be the best? [09:09] ai3gtmc: ? [09:09] ikonia, is says mount: you must specify the filesystem type [09:09] WilcoJR: re-read what I typed [09:09] acoording to nvidia the 169.12 squshed tons of bugs [09:09] ai3gtmc: what file system is on it [09:09] arooni: sudo apt-get install --reinstall totem totem-common [09:09] ai3gtmc: what file system is on it [09:09] ikonia, fat32 [09:09] omg [09:09] ikonia, i read and understand [09:09] WilcoJR: clearly you don't [09:09] WilcoJR, right, but you could be causing more bugs by not working against the latest kernel version [09:09] ikonia, fat32 [09:09] WilcoJR: please read what we tell you. If you don't read, we can't help you. [09:09] ＃ubuntu [09:10] ai3gtmc: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt [09:10] admin [09:10] so what are you saying is that if i use ubuntu im bound to use only the drivers supplied and tested by ubuntu? [09:10] ken: what do you want [09:10] E: Couldn't find package totem-common [09:10] WilcoJR: if you want support, then use the ones that come from ubuntu [09:10] WilcoJR: only drivers supported by ubuntu (restricted driver manager) [09:10] WilcoJR, if you want sane help, yes :) [09:10] woohooo! file manager can read it now! thanks ikonia ! [09:10] hehehe [09:10] ok [09:10] ai3gtmc: no problem [09:11] ikonia, hischild i'm having a lol on that one. [09:11] there is no package totem-common === ethan961 is now known as TravelodgeBear [09:11] poppy: which one? [09:11] Survivorman: apt-cache search totem [09:11] arooni: sudo apt-get install --reinstall totem [09:11] hischild, the 3 of us saying the same thingat the same second :) [09:11] ok [09:11] ikonia, hmm i can browse but not write on it.. :( [09:11] poppy: oh that =) [09:11] yes, and there is not totem-common [09:11] ai3gtmc: it's mounted read only I'm guessing [09:11] *no [09:12] ai3gtmc: sudo mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt [09:12] Survivorman: i totem-common - Data files for the Totem media player [09:12] ok [09:12] im looking for two solutions: 1 - a tool that will let me disconnect and tell gnome not to reconnect to wireless networks again (autoconnect) [09:12] 2 - something that will let me manage tons of SSH Sessions (SecureCRT like if you know it) [09:12] WilcoJR: rightclick on the network manager and disable netwokring. [09:12] hmm... i just did and got nothing but a list of totem and plugins [09:12] anybody come from china [09:12] hischild, but this kills my wired link :( [09:12] WilcoJR: manage ssh sessions ? [09:12] WilcoJR: disable the wirless card only [09:13] WilcoJR: then just disable the wireless one [09:13] yeah but this is a problem [09:13] i need help to make wlassistant to connect at startup as sudo without writing the password every time i start the pc. can anyone help ? [09:13] m [09:13] ikonia, how do i unmount it? srry.. [09:13] when i boot the machine - the previous wireless link takes precedence over my wired link [09:13] ai3gtmc: sudo umount /mnt [09:13] ok [09:13] WilcoJR: disble the card then [09:13] In Xchat ui i'f lost the right panel with the people online, anyone knows how to bring it back again? [09:13] Survivorman: http://pastebin.com/f71bf625c [09:13] anybody come from china [09:14] is are the ubuntu repo's so far behind? [09:14] isnt there like a panel that lets you mange the wireless connection ? [09:14] ken_: no - people will respond if they did. Do you have a support question [09:14] alexander_: hit ctrl f7 [09:14] ikonia, i get this sudo: unmount: command not found [09:14] netbeans current = 6, repos = 5.5 [09:14] ai3gtmc: use umount, don't use n [09:14] ai3gtmc: umount - not unmount [09:14] hey? [09:14] oh k [09:14] hischild, are you using hardy? [09:14] what are the random beeps that i keep hearing while Pidgin is open? [09:14] Survivorman: yes [09:14] mark[oz]: this is a punishment for an OS release every 6 months, packages tend to not get version updates post release [09:14] ikonia, manage ssh sessiosn = SecureCRT for windows is a terminal/ssh proggy that lets you store and create organized tree of all your server connections [09:14] including X11 tunnels [09:14] need something like that for my ubuntu setup [09:14] WilcoJR: putty [09:15] its not in gutsy [09:15] ikonia, hmm still can't paste on it [09:15] Survivorman: alright, thanks for that then .. [09:15] im trying to get gputty - gnome putty yet cannot find a deb release for it [09:15] ikonia, but aren't the repo's managed idependantly? [09:15] mark[oz]: no [09:15] yay! it took me a while but I finally got DHCP working and now my pc connects to the net automatically on bootup :D [09:15] I have it installed, i was just referring to arooni's comment on not being able to install it. he only needs totem and any plugin he needs. [09:15] can they be ikonia ? [09:15] !yay | Smegzor [09:15] Smegzor: Glad you made it! :-) [09:15] e.g. I want my app in the ubuntu repo, I do something tricky, and bang its there? [09:15] mark[oz]: you can have 3rd party repo's managed by say "me" but they arn't "ubuntu" repo's [09:16] thanks to those that helped me in here :D lol at that ubotu command XD [09:16] Survivorman: he has it installed though probably corrupted it ... thus the reinstall [09:16] mark[oz]: if you want YOUR application in the ubuntu repo's you have to use the submittal process and go through testing/sumission/etc/etc [09:16] ok [09:17] i just wish all these apps could be updated [09:17] thanks ikonia [09:17] mark[oz]: it's the price of an OS release every 6 months, [09:17] I have found a reproducable way to reboot my ubuntu machine by going to a specific website. How can I build a core file to debug upon reboot? [09:17] anyone familiar with building a kernel on ubuntu? [09:17] xp_prg: surly am [09:17] I would like to build the latest xen kernel, is there a tutorial/howto anywhere on that? [09:17] Yashy: corefiles are crashes [09:17] xp_prg: there is a xen package in the repo's [09:17] can i ask something about remote vnc ? i m under a router ... if i write my ip address followed by port i see the router's confpage ... using intranet i can use it great [09:18] ikonia: Where can I find them? [09:18] !xen > xp_prg [09:18] ikonia, but it is not the latest [09:18] ikonia, hmm i tried using the cp in terminal. it works but i can't paste to the mount using the file browser [09:18] Yashy: you can't "find" them an application crash creates them [09:18] !netsplit [09:18] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:18] ai3gtmc: please show me the output of "mount" in the pastebin please. [09:18] I can reproducably crash my ubuntu machine [09:18] ikonia, is there anyway to get the very latest somehow? [09:18] !kernel | xp_prg [09:18] xp_prg: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [09:18] can someone please tell me what is in their /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/smb-module.conf [09:18] ? [09:18] xp_prg: why do you want it [09:18] ikonia, ok [09:18] xp_prg: as in the latest [09:18] what's up with those netsplits all the time [09:18] ／AME hello [09:19] ken_: hi [09:19] because jailtime.org requires the latest xen kernel to work [09:19] I still can't change my desktop wallpaper, but I'm wondering if somehow thats a permissions problem? I did reinstall ubuntu while preserving /home. Thats caused a few problems, but nothing compared to trying the same trick on Windows :D [09:19] xp_prg, you could always use the 8.04 beta! submit bugs! :D [09:19] xp_prg: I'm reading the jailtime size, where does it say that ? [09:19] I can reproducably crash my ubuntu machine, how can I find/create core files to debug? [09:20] ikonia, here http://code.bulix.org/8ev1t8-65981?raw [09:20] !bugs | Yashy [09:20] Yashy: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:20] ikonia it doesn't say that, but I know from trial and error that this is true [09:20] xp_prg: I disagree [09:20] I'm wondering how to create/find core files, not submit a bug. [09:20] ikonia unless you know how to get a centos xen domU on ubuntu feisty, I would love to know how to do it! [09:20] ai3gtmc: ahhhhh it's vfat [09:21] ai3gtmc: it's mounted as "root" [09:21] I was able to boot the jailtime centos but the networking doesn't work [09:21] ikonia, hmm so what shout i do? [09:21] xp_prg: centos domu ? whats wrong with the ubuntu domu ? [09:21] ikonia I need to use rpm and create an rpm repository [09:21] ai3gtmc one moment let me grab the right mount options [09:21] for python stuff [09:21] ok thanks ike_x [09:21] ikonia, * [09:21] lol [09:21] xp_prg: ok - so you need to install centos host to use the centos domu [09:21] I can reproducably crash my ubuntu machine, how can I find/create core files to debug? [09:22] xp_prg that was badley worded [09:22] ikonia I thought I could install a centos domu on an ubuntu host, is that not correct? [09:22] xp_prg: yes that is "correct" technially [09:22] anyone that can help me to get wlassistant to run at startup as sudo ? i tried to add it to rc.local but i had no success. it doesnt show up and it doesnt connect === LDS_Trooper is now known as Rebel_Eclipsed [09:23] this is why i left, i could do this all night :) [09:23] night all!

[09:29] ok [09:29] ai3gtmc: you may also be able to do uid=$username but I don't know if that will work [09:29] i got the UID [09:30] does the new version of rhythmbox comein' with Hardy has support for some kind of mp3 portable player ?? [09:30] hi! should i have to configure first my mail before configuring bind? [09:30] ikonia, i got this again mount: you must specify the filesystem type [09:30] ai3gtmc: I meant use that in additon to the other option [09:31] ai3gtmc: sudo mount -o rw uid=$uid -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt [09:31] ikonia, oh ok [09:31] must dash, [09:31] what's the package that allows me to say "in this directory, build me the entire file system of ubuntun etch, for hte i386 arch" (i'm playing with qemu) [09:31] will bind9 start even i havent configured my mail?

[09:37] hischild - I tried IceWM or something like that (was a while ago), only got a few minutes extra on top of the 4 or so hours use i can get with wifi, so not really worth it [09:37] chazco: i see. I use fluxbox which just does what it needs to do === andi_ is now known as eltigre [09:37] eax_: right-click > create launcher [09:38] Ah, will try it if the battery starts to wear out... for now this should be okay then...

[10:16] poppy ikonia i got a question. i have a dsl connection. but my friends share it with me. i think giving them line from modem is not good idea, as i cant limit their speed. i run ircd + host my web. should i use a third computer as router and server or use my one pc as router to limit there bandwidth + as server? [10:18] if all you have is a modem and not a modem router, probably [10:18] hi everybody!

[10:22] if it's a 2wire it has a lame qos [10:22] troofy: the kernel can do quos [10:22] but it's there [10:22] qos even [10:22] use it through iptables [10:23] so what kind of modemRouter is it [10:23] ikonia iptables will do it. i think you mean i should use lan ips for my frriends. use a second switch like syslink or dlink to give them internet connection and limit their bandwidth by iptables?

[11:09] * kraft__ watches 85Mb or deps slowly download [11:09] its probably cause by many things [11:09] defho: did those ppl who had the same problem happen to show a solution?

[11:10] differentreality: sudo /usr/bin/make-googleearth-package [11:11] even better, follow what hischild said [11:11] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, are you using hardy? [11:11] ;) [11:11] hischild: thanks again [11:11] Svenstaro: yes ... i like it ... and the chopsticks make you eat more slowly so you don't get stomach ache [11:12] Svenstaro: nope [11:12] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: the most usefull of your question was the "some things " try to explain that part please [11:12] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR I suppose you didnt knowingly do anything before that could have broken it? [11:12] i will turn off WEP on my wifi and see if that solves my wlan issue [11:13] Well..looks like gutsy is trying to generate something.. /boot/initdr.img-2.6.22.14-generic.. [11:14] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: please explain the part about "some things" in your question [11:15] hischild: actually i just opned the synaptic to start install a cd repository..only that [11:15] Is there any way to get a cell processor, besides of buying a PS3? [11:15] guillem101, only if you are a big-name industry or an excentric millionaire [11:15] but it came to an dpkg --configure -a tip...i mean, i can open my synaptic.. [11:15] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: hmm can you pastebin the entire output of that command for me please? [11:16] hischild: sure..its on the other pc..but im gonna copy [11:16] Svenstaro, thanks1 [11:16] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: does that other pc have internet access? [11:16] Svenstaro, thanks! [11:16] hischild: nope. :S [11:16] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: i see. That also explains the cd repo [11:17] yea [11:17] guillem101, IBM said 3 years ago that it might be released into some form of PC-comptible piece of hardware in a couple of years but I dont think thats in sony's interest [11:17] Can someone point me to a link of the steps which are needed to configure the wordpress .deb after installation from the repo's with synaptic? [11:17] mzuverink, never install a web application from a deb [11:17] DistroJockey, i get 404 error Could not download Google Earth! (You may need to use --file) [11:17] Svenstaro, I can buy a PS-3, and install linux on it so I can program the cell thing. Is that OK? [11:18] hi, when i connect to my samba server it is slow to give the auth window, after auth everything is fast, i think it has to do with the server being in another subnet [11:18] mzuverink, wordpress just received a major update to 2.5, you should not install the deb because it will give security problems [11:18] guillem101, yes [11:18] Svenstaro, ok, thank you [11:18] differentreality: hmm, I just did it and it worked for me. :( [11:18] guillem101, be aware tho that not only very few binary applications will work, and you will not get the graphics drivers to work [11:19] Svenstaro, Oh, I see there is a PS3Linux channel; I'm going to ask them a couple of questions :). Thank you very much [11:19] Svenstaro, I want to crunch numbers.... he he [11:19] guillem101, thats a very good practice, PS3 make excellent cracking machines [11:19] DistroJockey, you had done sudo apt-get install googleearth-package and then this ? [11:20] differentreality: used Synaptic to install googleearth-package then sudo /usr/bin/make-googleearth-package [11:20] Svenstaro, ahem; scientific crunching. I want to evaluate how difficult is to write scientific software for the PS3.... [11:20] differentreality: so yeah, pretty much [11:20] sorry, for the CELL... [11:20] guillem101, may I suggest the usage of CUDA instead of a ps3? much more comfortable [11:21] DistroJockey, i'm doing it in 2 different laptops :/ any ideas what could be wrong ? [11:21] Svenstaro, you can suggest what you want. I'm willing to get enlightened. What is CUDA? [11:21] differentreality: you have a working Internet on it? [11:21] DistroJockey, yeah [11:22] 7.0.2-4ubuntu2 libgl1-mesa-dri where i can get it? [11:22] differentreality: try and do it again, just to make sure [11:22] How do I change the $PATH that is used when using sudo? I've some binaries in ~/bin that I can't call with sudo [11:22] DistroJockey, yeah i did like 5 times on each lap :p [11:22] any of you ever use avidemux for getting subtitles out .vob files [11:22] Svenstaro, oh, I see, GPU-computing. [11:22] guillem101, its Nvidia way to turn your graphics card into a super computer, works really well for the stuff that you have in mind. Everything that can be massively threaded will look like its being done on a super computer. The catch is that you need a series 8 nvidia card. [11:22] hischild:http://pastebin.com/d54a3916 [11:22] differentreality: :( [11:23] differentreality: I'll try on Gutsy, I'm on Hardy atm.

(cause i dont ... i get 404 error) [11:24] can i limit total bandwidth /s combinely for 2 ips ? by firewall. eg ip1 + ip2 should not exceed 20kb/s ? [11:24] differentreality: I couldn't see the top of the terminal log, heaps of warnings [11:24] DistroJockey, hehe ok :) [11:24] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: i see. what does it give you in general when you do dpkg-reconfigure -a? [11:24] differentreality: but it said completed successfully at the end then I installed the .deb file [11:24] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: correction: [11:24] maybe someone could guide me through installing the bin file of google earth ? [11:24] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: dpkg --configure -a [11:24] Svenstaro, nice!. I've already used the GPU to "compute" radiation view factors via offscreen rendering. This seems to be much more general. [11:25] guillem101, yup :) [11:25] mzuverink: I've far more problems with iwl3945 [11:25] differentreality: will test in Gutsy though [11:25] DistroJockey, i c :/ in my case exactly the oposite happened :p 3 lines last saying that i got an error :P [11:25] hischild:that error... [11:26] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: sorry, i misread it ... [11:26] hischild: ah ok..so thats it..i dont know about that, but i think its about the getopt..or try to put it on usr/bin...? [11:27] can i limit total bandwidth /s combinely for 2 ips ? by firewall. eg ip1 + ip2 should not exceed 20kb/s ?

[11:29] hischild:some lines aboout /usr/lib/python2.5 // usr/lib/ruby // /usr/include/getopt.h ? [11:29] mzuverink, yes, but only if you are very expierenced [11:29] someone... anyone.. [11:29] Svenstaro, thanks again [11:29] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: look for this line ==> /usr/bin/getopt [11:30] just finished installing Hardy. let's see how much there is to sweat this time ;) [11:30] hischild:theres no line like this...doing locate getopt...

But its certainly much better than in feisty [11:39] negative [11:39] it didnt give me anything to click on like 2x did [11:39] Rageon: type fire in terminal, then press tab several times [11:39] Svenstaro :) in feisty it was a killer. took me 3 weeks to get it to properly run. [11:40] hischild:alright...its done. [11:40] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: did it give an output? [11:40] right :) nmap works thank you :) [11:40] ls /var/cache... grep udev ... no...no output [11:40] sidis405, I recently helped a noob to get a dualhead setup running on an evil ATI card, so you might have success [11:40] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR: hmm ... [11:40] Svenstaro so then it's pointless for me to try to fiddle with Desktop effects etc, right? [11:41] algyz, yer now ive got a list of things [11:41] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, say, you didnt, just curiously asked, run this command (DO NOT RUN IT NOW) "sudo rm /" followed by -rf? dont run it [11:41] sidis405: what card do you have? [11:41] sidis405, not at all, give it a go [11:42] imagine being able to browse the internet that would be like supppper [11:42] Rageon, ? [11:42] Rageon: also you can try iceape, seamonkey, swiftfox, they are derivatives of mozilla [11:43] i updated to 7:10 and firefox just crashed koz of flash all the time now ive uninstalled 2x installed 3x and 3x i cant even find where to open [11:43] lol i imagine configuring flash for browsers outside mozilla would be 10x harder than ff itself :s [11:43] Svenstaro: nope... cuz i installed before some packages by aptoncd ... and yes i guess there was a package that aware me about something..but i dont remember what. [11:43] * rootpt is away: almoço [11:43] Rageon: you can add it to menu, also you can create shortcut in desktop. [11:44] and yes ive tried gnash, nofreeblahblah etc [11:44] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, does this give you an output: sudo ls /var/cache ? [11:44] how pls [11:44] what do i type in term to get it open? [11:44] fire does nothing [11:44] lets see [11:44] !squid [11:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:45] in order to connect to a computer via ssh is there some configuration that needs to be done to the computer i want to connect to ? (atm i am interested in ussing ssh for a computer of my lan and i get error 22 connectio refused, when i excecute ssh 192.168.1.4) [11:45] !squide [11:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about squide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:45] Rageon: click right on desktop and you'll find, I hope. command "firefox" is in /usr/bin [11:45] Svenstaro: yep! some directories...app-install apt debconf ... [11:45] differentreality, not by default, but you need to install the openssh-server package on the server [11:45] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, now try sudo ls /var/cache/apt [11:46] Svenstaro, ok i'll try this :) thanks === andi_ is now known as elTigre [11:46] is it possible in linux to have an alias for a user account in /etc/passwd?

[11:47] Svenstaro:lock - partial [11:47] !aptlock [11:47] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [11:48] i'm having problems with two applications. deskbar and evolution. the deskbar won't load at all The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIIDThe panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet". and the evolution mail app makes my desktop restart everytime i try to launch. whats wrong? please help [11:48] firefox isnt in user/bin [11:49] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, run this: wget http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/udev/udev_117-4ubuntu1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_117-4ubuntu1_i386.deb [11:49] Svenstaro: i dont have an internet connection ... :S [11:49] duh [11:49] what is squid [11:50] can i limit total bandwidth /s combinely for 2 ips ? by firewall. eg ip1 + ip2 should not exceed 20kb/s ? [11:50] You were trying to apt-get without internet? [11:50] Tootbatot_: proxyserver [11:50] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR ^ [11:50] Svenstaro: i was installing libs and stuff by aptoncd CD [11:50] Tootbatot_: Try the "shaper" package [11:50] current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz. [11:50] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, that kinda explains why it broke down [11:50] anyidea why cpufreq-info tells that [11:51] lol.. [11:51] max speed should be 1.6Ghz [11:51] this rocks [11:51] mactimes like what package? [11:51] mactimes the name is "shaper"? [11:51] Tootbatot_: shaper [11:51] Tootbatot_: Yup [11:51] mactimes ok. wondershaper will do that too? [11:51] anybody use a sony camcorder with linux? [11:51] Svenstaro: but i can download this deb files and install on the other pc...? cuz i can do it.. [11:51] Tootbatot_: You want to limit bandwidth for computers on the network, right? [11:51] yeah go ahead YgorAbreu_ESP_BR [11:51] alright then [11:52] what's the host key verification when i try to use ssh ip ? i get a message that it has changed.... what exactly do I need to do in order to use the command ssh ip ? [11:52] Rageon: you found how to start FF3? [11:52] mactimes yes [11:52] differentreality: remove the offending key in .ssh/known_hosts [11:52] yes just now [11:52] how is FF3? i havnt got round to trying it yet? [11:52] i'm having problems with two applications. deskbar and evolution. the deskbar won't load at all The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIIDThe panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet". and the evolution mail app makes my desktop restart everytime i try to launch. whats wrong? please help [11:52] seems aight 30 seconds in [11:52] Rageon: In Application - Internet ? [11:52] hehe :P [11:52] mactimes yes [11:53] Tootbatot_: Shaper can control bandwidth for single host ip, entire subnets, ports, etc. [11:53] im just trying to get a broswer that will play FLASH and not crash for goodness sakes :s [11:53] Rageon: heh [11:53] Tootbatot_: sudo apt-get install shaper [11:53] how to set mac address in network/interfaces? I tried adding "hwaddress ether 00:50:C2:80:A8:33" (according to interfaces(5)) but ethernet interface wasn't activated [11:53] axm hischild to i need to erase everything in the known_hosts? cause i dont make much sense out of it :/ [11:53] what platform are you on? [11:53] mactimes it can do the combined ip limiting too?\ [11:53] 7.10 [11:53] Tootbatot_: Yup [11:53] differentreality: you can do that, though it'll ask you every time you connect to a host if you want to add it. It's the easiest way though [11:53] not distro version ^^ [11:53] what processor ? [11:54] mactimes thanks [11:54] Tootbatot_: You're welcome. [11:54] distrojockey, am i attempting a impossible task? or just an annoying time wasting one? [11:54] Rageon: nope, fairly easy in most cases [11:54] mactimes do i need wondershaper or some packet shapper. ? whats the need [11:55] Tootbatot_: Just do a simple: sudo apt-get install shaper [11:55] Rageon: Firefox with flashplugin-nonfree works fine here [11:55] hischild, hmm nice :) [11:55] Tootbatot_: Then you have to define traffic shaping classes under /etc/shaper [11:55] mactimes k [11:56] Rageon: opera 9.26 + r94 flash [11:56] Tootbatot_: That's all. [11:56] how do u get firefox to recognize freenon is even there? [11:56] one more thing... i try to connect to the remote pc via ssh and i am asked for the password of localusername@remoteip why is that ? I tried both my root pass AND the remote pc root pass but none works [11:57] differentreality: normally it tries to auth you as your own user. If you do remoteusername@remoteip you'll be good [11:57] differentreality: remember though: use the remote info [11:57] DistroJockey, how do u get firefox to recognize nonfree is even there? [11:57] Rageon: didn't do anything special [11:57] can anyone help me with two application errors? [11:57] !flash | Rageon [11:57] Rageon: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [11:57] my konqueror doesnt even have a plugins tab lol [11:58] Rageon: try that maybe [11:58] hischild, perfect :) it worked! thank u [11:58] yea i have... [11:58] differentreality: you're welcome [11:58] dead ends with questions knowone will answer [11:58] !ask | j3kyll [11:58] Rageon: you restarted FF? [11:58] j3kyll: 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. :-) [11:59] i dont have it open where can u go that doesnt have flash [11:59] hi, how do i install a new kernel to my installed ubuntu system using a livecd or anything else (the installed kernel wont boot) [11:59] yay @ finding a working sirius script :P [11:59] Rageon: please rephrase? [11:59] * punzada is happy now [11:59] hi room [11:59] Deeps: copy a new kernel into /boot, then chroot into your old env via the live cd, and then update-grub [11:59] i never open FireFox, koz it just crashes, hence no need to restart it (because its not open) [12:00] i have a question... how do i locate the folder where my Apache2 server is installed? [12:00] Svenstaro: weel mate..nevermind..cuz im trying to install this package u told me..but somehow it keeps telling me that im running synaptic or aptitude or update manager... [12:00] Rageon: ahh [12:00] i installed it using Synaptic [12:00] Mzalendo: whereis apache2 =) [12:00] Mzalendo, there is no folder where apache2 is installed into, there are lots of folders for different types of files of apache2, exactly what do you need? [12:00] hischild: thanks [12:00] hischild: that's what i need to find... what is the default location used by Synaptic? [12:00] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, did you wget the package? [12:01] Mzalendo: that's a console command. Try it ==> whereis apache2 [12:01] Svenstaro: i need to install Joomla into the /localhost/ folder, which is where Apache2 serve is installed [12:01] Mzalendo, thats in /var/www [12:01] hey =) [12:01] Svenstaro: nop cuz i dont have internet connection on the other laptop.. i downloaded and try to install... [12:01] e [12:01] Svenstaro: so it's in root then var folder then www? [12:01] Mzalendo, and thats not where apache is installed, thats plain wrong, thats where apache's default web root is at [12:02] i downloaded on a pendriver and tryed to install on the other pc. [12:02] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, how did you try to install? [12:02] Svenstaro: and that's where the Jooma 1.5 files should be extracted? [12:02] Rageon: try renaming ~/.mozilla to something else [12:02] double click on the deb package? [12:02] Mzalendo, yes, create a dir here /var/www/joomla and extract it there [12:02] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, nope thats wrong, hang on the command is this: [12:02] ok, thanks Svenstaro [12:02] will be back [12:02] What is the user-friendly way to file a bug in Ubuntu or one of its packages? [12:03] * punzada still doesn't comprehend why in gods name apache defaults a web root folder in the var directory [12:03] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR sudo dpkg -i --force-all udev_117-4ubuntu1_i386.deb [12:03] Svenstaro:dpkg -i arquivo.deb ? [12:03] ive got 3.0 working, now i just need to somehow tell 3.0 "use nonfree for flash dickface" [12:03] Svenstaro: oops... i cant create... in desktop mode... how do i do that with terminal? [12:03] ping [12:03] hello ; I have a problem with Java on Ubuntu : priinters in Java apps cannot be accesed ! [12:03] !launchpad | Jafet [12:03] Jafet: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [12:03] !language | Rageon [12:03] hey peoples, want to install ubuntu on my notebook Im a new be on linux the install of ubuntu is easy but it is easy to install the usb wlan stick? [12:03] Rageon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:03] Svenstaro: yeah but it keeps telling me i dont have the volumeid package installed..which i have.. [12:03] hey i am back ,, ok i am still having problems getting gtub to work [12:03] so can I rearange the places menu item from the menu bar applet ? [12:03] Mzalendo, extract, you mean? [12:03] Launchpad requires a login. [12:03] That isn't terribly user-friendly. [12:04] hey i am back ,, ok i am still having problems getting grub to work. pols need help [12:04] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, did you run EXACTLY my command? [12:04] Svenstaro: i need to create a directory in /var/www named joomla 1.5 [12:04] Svenstaro: Nope..going to.. [12:04] Svenstaro: i dont have write access at the moment, so i need to use sudo... [12:04] Jafet, how else are you going to lead a discussions if you dont even know who's who? without login there'd be terrible chaos [12:04] anyone know how to stop a module from loading that can't be blacklisted for some reason? [12:04] Svenstaro: what is the command to create a directory? [12:04] Mzalendo, sudo mkdir /var/www/joomla [12:05] Mzalendo, for a more comfortable solution you can open root nautilus, gksudo nautilus, and do it like you would normally [12:05] Jafet: Svenstaro: not too mention the spam [12:05] hardCreation, the system should be able to detect the hardware. If you were using Windows previously, does the stick work without requiring any notices or configuration? [12:05] anyone recommend a distro that has compiz and the internet works on? [12:05] Svenstaro: oops... i created TWO directories, one named "1.5" and another named "joomla" [12:06] ok, i guess not ill try out over on the gnome channel :P [12:06] Rageon, Id recommend Ubuntu [12:06] Svenstaro: how do i remove the unwanted "1.5" directory, and how do i rename the "joomla" to "joomla1.5"? [12:06] Mzalendo, just use gksudo nautilus for now [12:06] Svenstaro:yeah.i guess theres something good going on! haha it appears to b installed now.. [12:06] Mzalendo: rmdir 1.5; mv joomla joomla\ 1.5 [12:06] Well, Distro and Svenstaro, not going to argue this, but I still think it's horrible. That's a lot of bugs that don't get past the barrier. [12:06] Svenstaro, something i can just install and not spend days trying to installed uninstall etc to browse youtube [12:06] Oh well, back to windows. [12:07] Svenstaro: is it a GNOME package? [12:07] Svenstaro: now i run dpkg reconfigure? [12:07] Hi, I've attempted to migrate my ubuntu 6.06 system from physical to virtual (in vmware), i've used partimage to transfer the partitions, marked the primary partition as bootable, installed grub, but when it tries to boot the kernel, it reaches "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." and then stops. any ideas? [12:07] Jafet, those would be bug reports from person who dont even bother how to create an account, those bug reports are usually not wanted anyway. [12:07] thats the mission here, can i watch youtube without crashing, i know i ask alot lol. [12:07] Rageon, you can browse and use compiz WHILE installing on ubuntu, aint that great? [12:08] Mzalendo, yes, and its already installed, just run gksudo nautilus [12:08] thats pretty cool [12:08] Rageon: then get the gutsy live cd and do it =) [12:08] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, now you run whatever failed at first [12:08] shame it doesnt have flash tho [12:08] im running 7.10.. lol [12:08] spent the last 3 days trying to get firefox to work [12:08] Rageon, are we talking x64 here? [12:09] tried everything under !flash [12:09] id say so? [12:09] Rageon, im asking you, x64? [12:09] no idea [12:09] dude [12:09] ahuh? [12:09] Rageon, run this uname -a [12:09] and paste output [12:09] Svenstaro: the same error... [12:10] inux notsureyet 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [12:10] will be back [12:10] I do not install cs 1.6 in ubuntu ;~ [12:10] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, do you have the initramfs tools on yoru cd?

[12:12] cs 1.6 running in ubuntu with video board 64 Mb on board SiS? [12:12] well its being quite a trouble :s [12:12] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, no initramfs-tools ? [12:12] hey, is it possible to run lets say a movie or game and run teamspeak or skype at the same time? [12:12] Beingaware, yes [12:12] its not letting me right now [12:12] Beingaware whats the trouble? [12:12] my konqueror has no Plugins Tab... how do i get Firefox to use Freenon as its Flash player??? [12:12] Beingaware, what sound driver are you using now? [12:13] how do I find out? [12:13] Svenstaro: No. [12:13] cs 1.6 running in ubuntu with video board 64 Mb on board SiS? help please [12:13] Beingaware, 1. use names (aka precede the answers directed at me with my name please. 2. system -> preferences -> sound [12:13] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, your apt on cd is not complete [12:14] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, can you temporarily get the comp youre installing inet access? [12:14] alsa mixser [12:14] Svenstaro: yeah thats just by my side.. [12:14] mixer* [12:14] anyone??? [12:15] hischild, how do I do it figure this one out? [12:15] Beingaware, you could try to use the OSS one to see if it helps ... [12:15] Rageon: sudo cp /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ [12:15] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, k then give it internet now and run sudo apt-get install initramfs-tools [12:15] so everything after sudo i paste into term? [12:15] Rageon, including sudo [12:15] yup k [12:15] Rageon: everything including sudo [12:16] would that work using lets say youtube on firefox, teampeak running and music in the background? [12:16] Rageon: that will get flash into FF3 [12:16] no such file [12:16] or dir [12:16] Beingaware, yes it could. For some reason alsa won't always allow multiple sound streams. It kind of depends on the hardware [12:17] Rageon: ok, search for libflashplayer.so and use what you find [12:17] in bin 3.0 is under firefox-3.0 [12:17] no idea why when the new 3.0 isnt even called firefox anymore.... but anyway [12:17] hi, I want to buy a cheap video card into my girlfriend's computer (600 MHz Celeron, 256MB RAM), I have these options (equally cheap): nvidia vanta 16MB AGP, savage4 32MB AGP, matrox g400 16MB AGP, ati rage128 8MB AGP, which one should I buy?

I use vbox for school when i have to use windows apps [12:20] I just tryed setting teamspeak to oss and vlc to oss [12:20] and it didn't work [12:20] i c :/ [12:20] Sjimmie, ignotus, thats positive, you get full nvidia support using the legacy driver, I actually tested that card using compiz (!!!!) and it works! [12:20] ok so ill try youtube again [12:21] ok how do i create a clickable icon for 3.0 pls?

[12:23] it will most likely destroy the drive [12:23] lol thats like chucking a motor into a running car [12:23] don worry, my motherboard supports it [12:23] *don't [12:23] Svenstaro, sorry should've said along with it: external hd ... [12:23] it's a feature [12:23] Svenstaro: my login is set to the root group, but i cant see the joomla folder (with its contents) from my browser... so i cant access the joomla installation panel [12:23] Armada, only external hd's ... should've been more clear [12:23] what do you guys think of this brainstorm idea? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5390/ [12:23] Armada, it does not, if its an internal drive you cant just plug it in without fireworks [12:23] It's about the installer creating a separate /home by default [12:23] Svenstaro: i see the folder with nautilus, but not from my browser.. i only see the .tar file [12:23] Rageon: Right click on your Desktop and Create a Launcher [12:24] yup and then [12:24] Svenstaro: and even when i try to extract the .tar file, i cant create a directory.. permission denied [12:24] Rageon: then name it and browse for firefox-3.0 in /usr/bin [12:24] I've done it for months, never had problems. [12:24] Mzalendo, run this sudo chown -R www-data /var/www [12:24] Armada, just ... don't do it wiht an internal hd mkay? only external drives [12:24] kk [12:24] on windows [12:24] frandavid100, i alwyas set up a seperate /home anyway. :) [12:24] hischild, ok... in ubuntu i had opened a terminal + a pdf file. in my vm (win xp pro) i opened borland c++ compiler (we use this at uni) and i was looking in the pdf (where i would see what I need to do in excercise i was workin on) and then i would go back to my vm and to borland compiler and writing my code... at some points the vm would just restart (in the first screen of virtual box BEFORE booting the vm it said that the vm [12:24] had aborted) [12:24] then please take a look at the suggested method Dr_willis [12:25] Svenstaro: alright..its on now [12:25] Armada, only special computers support so called hot plugging of internal hardware, as long as you dont have an external drive you will destroy an internal drive by plugging it in mid-run [12:25] I tried to make it easy to newcomers, because I always tell them to use a separate /home but it's so difficult for them [12:25] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, now go ahead, trying what you tried in the first place [12:25] Svenstaro: now i can see the joomla folder, but i cant navigate INTO it [12:25] sata supposedly supports hotplugging, though not all controllers can do it properly. [12:25] my computer supports hot plugging [12:26] void^, only eSATA [12:26] ooer could be working checking youtube [12:26] it's in my motherboard's feature list [12:26] hey guys, has anyone tried hardy with a Rt2500? [12:26] Armada, are you using some super exepnsive server board? [12:26] svenstaro: so i tryed to use synaptic again and tells me to do dpkg reconfigure... [12:26] Svenstaro: i get a message You have chosen to open (nothing shown) which is a: PHTML file... What should Firefox do with this file? [12:26] cs 1.6 running in ubuntu with video board 64 Mb on board SiS? help please [12:26] "Hot Plug support allows users to insert and remove hard disk drives without shutting off power to the system." [12:26] Mzalendo, .tar isnt a directory, you have to extract that too [12:26] Svenstaro: any sata [12:26] frandavid100, i doubt if it will get implemented.. personally i just keep my own /home - and dont even tell the installer where its at. I edit the fstab on the first boot to point to the right home. But good luck. [12:26] thank god... its working cheers guys. [12:26] !yay | Rageon [12:26] void^, only very few do that properly [12:26] Rageon: Glad you made it! :-) [12:26] differentreality, sounds odd ... i don't have borland though .. you using gutsy or hardy? [12:26] I'm using a gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 [12:27] frandavid100, separate /home is a good idea, I think Ubuntu should do it by default. But then again, I haven't thought this so much. It kind of old fashined, just-to-be-sure thinking to have many partitions. [12:27] Svenstaro: i HAD already extracted the joomla .tar file, into a directory... [12:27] hischild,gutsy [12:27] arggg, what is wrong with this stupid ubuntu server of mine... [12:27] Rageon: you're welcome [12:27] Svenstaro: i am having problems navigating INTO that directory [12:27] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, ok then, now run what it tells you to run [12:27] cheers dude [12:27] clamav-daemon will not create the clamd.ctl that it was using... [12:27] Rageon: np :) [12:27] Svenstaro: the same old bloddy error! :S [12:27] Mzalendo, oh alright, can you check the permissions in the folders and make sure theyre all belong to www-data? [12:27] differentreality, never had such a problem myself .... yet i'm using hardy though, might be the reason why [12:27] it's dumb. The file does not exist, it does not create it but it's clearly specified in the clamd.conf file [12:27] * rootpt is back (gone 00:44:05) [12:27] it used to work [12:27] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, im sorry, im clueless henceforth [12:27] hischild, yeah i know it's odd... it happened several times.... sometimes i hadnt even saved my project and i had to do everything all over again :( [12:27] Svenstaro: from nautilus or from the browser? [12:27] anyway, windows supports hot plugging but ubuntu doesn't [12:28] differentreality, hit the save shortcut before unfocussing your vm? [12:28] also, why when I reboot that server does the rc2.d runlevel scripts not start up all the daemons? Nothing started in rc2.d [12:28] any ideas why? [12:28] is there any way I can force ubuntu to mount the drive? [12:28] also, where did inittab go? [12:28] Mzalendo, either use nautilus or run ls -lhw [12:28] differentreality, to help out in the reboots .. try running it from command line and see if it gives an error, alongside check dmesg [12:28] Svenstaro: yeah mate..really thanks for ur effort! anyway u helped ... [12:28] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, well I tried at least [12:28] Svenstaro: i have checked... they were on root... i changed them to www-data [12:29] hischild, or even better hit the save button every 5 secs :P hmm I always run it from terminal (sudo VirtualBox) otherwise it has some problem with the hard disk [12:29] Svenstaro: still the same problem... [12:29] Mzalendo, run this again: sudo chroot -R www-data /var/www/ [12:29] Svenstaro: guess im going to reinstall by only-ubiquity now.. yeah haha! real thanks! [12:29] Svenstaro: chroot or chown? [12:29] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, you should properly set up your system while you have internet access and then pull it out === ikrakid is now known as abe [12:29] anyway i'll just hope it won't be happening all the time.... [12:29] almost fixed, the audio in the flash movies is echoed [12:29] ? [12:30] Deeps, Mzalendo, my bad, dont run chroot, run chown [12:30] Rageon: and thanks to you also. I had never done any of that before, so I too now have a working FF3 with flash :) [12:30] is there some reason why virtualbox only lets you have up to 128mb video memory ? [12:30] Deeps, thanks for noticing [12:30] differentreality, i dunno ... i leave it at default and have no trouble with it .. perhaps hw limits? [12:30] Svenstaro: yeah i can get internet access on the other computer cuz i got an usb wireless device..i need to realize how im going to install it.. but first i need to reinstall gutsy again. [12:30] differentreality, because you cant have real graphics in vbox anyway [12:30] thanks... lemme see [12:30] in windows it will stop all operation for 2 seconds to mount the drive and then it continues as normal [12:30] Svenstaro:cant get... [12:30] differentreality, also, why run it as root? for me works fine as user [12:31] differentreality, its emulating a video card. I doubt if more memory would help. [12:31] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, usb wireless almost always works when just pluggin it in [12:31] Rageon: try messing with muting or lowering different channels in the volume control maybe? [12:31] done that... no changes... still same problem [12:31] Mzalendo, chroot or chown, which did you run? [12:31] hischild: yeah but executing lspci i can get to find it :S [12:31] you dont have echos when u goto youtube? [12:31] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, it's a USB device. Try using lsusb [12:32] chown [12:32] Rageon: sec, checking. Google video is fine for me [12:32] hischild:i mean..lsusb i found Ortek technology, Inc [12:32] i have an astonishing high transfer rate of 7 meg a sec from my external drive. I'm blown away by the high speeds [12:33] Rageon: youtude is fine also here [12:33] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, i have no idea what kind of usb wireless you have. It should autodetect it and you can set up your wireless in the network manager [12:33] youtube^ [12:33] Mzalendo, are you sure your apache2 is properyl set up for php5? [12:33] oic [12:33] :x [12:33] so my motherboard supports hot plug, but ubuntu doesn't? [12:33] Rageon: sorry, can't help ya with that one [12:34] Svenstaro: well, synaptic installed without errors... how do i check otherwise? [12:34] Armada, we're not willing to take the risk of you giving yourself an expensive fireworks show =) if you want to try it, it's your own risk [12:34] Armada, ubuntu does, its baked into the kernel afaik, if you are really sure your board does, try it. [12:34] I've done it for months [12:34] And I take all risk [12:34] hischild: yeah well. its AIRIS brand .. from Spain...on Windows i plugged and its running..but on gutsy i dont know how to set up [12:34] s [12:34] Mzalendo, you need to do some manual configuration bits [12:34] !lamp | Mzalendo [12:34] Mzalendo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [12:34] Rageon: except for maybe checking out alsamixer from a terminal [12:34] I'm testing it with a drive I don't need anymore anyway :P [12:34] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, plug it in, then set it up via network manager top right [12:35] hischild:does not show anything..no networks..guess it dont recognize.. [12:35] hey all [12:35] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, odd .. [12:35] only does it on some of them :s all good for now [12:36] Rageon: ahh, nods, good to hear ;) [12:36] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, whats the name of the exquite piece of hardware of yours? [12:36] hischild:it came with a mini CD with setup info and files... [12:36] exquisite* [12:36] Svenstaro: Hahaha! AIRIS Its a Spanish device.. [12:36] Svenstaro, check your pm [12:37] Armada, didnt get any [12:37] Svenstaro: By lsusb the output is Ortek Technology, Inc. [12:37] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR what exactly is it? [12:38] Svenstaro: Then I'll just ask it here [12:38] Svenstaro: then how can I force ubuntu to mount it? [12:38] I've already plugged it in, but it doesn't detect it [12:38] Hello! I downloaded the last beta Ubuntu's CD. How to upgrade? [12:39] Svenstaro: this is the error message that i got from firefox.... /tmp/r6asv9la-1.phtml could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. [12:39] Armada, in that case ubuntu doesnt detect it at all, but you can always try gparted and see if it comes up [12:39] Sorry Mates..i realize it was not connected.. anyway gutsy dont recognize either..but im gonna lsusb ahain..hang on a sec === tdoggette is now known as tdoggette_ [12:39] !hardy | OsamaK [12:39] OsamaK: 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 [12:39] oh boy, the right click is totally buggered in firefox :( [12:39] Svenstaro: Already tried that [12:39] this is what is stopping me from accessing the /localhost/joomla1.5/ folder from firefox [12:39] arggg, ubuntu doth suck as a server.... [12:40] Svenstaro: How to use the CD? [12:40] why change inittab to event.d. pointless. [12:40] how put Xchat in Systray ? [12:40] and non standard [12:40] on Ubuntu ? [12:40] Mzalendo, you need to properly configure apache2 [12:40] Mzalendo, google for ubuntu lamp, or go to howtoforge [12:40] Svenstaro: Ubuntu just doesn support hotplugging, probably because it doesn't detect internal hard drives [12:40] Armada: does the drive show up in: sudo fdisk -l [12:40] no [12:40] :( [12:41] OsamaK, please go to #hardy for questions about ubuntu beta [12:41] OsamaK, i mean # [12:41] OsamaK, i mean #ubuntu+1 [12:41] so I can't use sudo mount either [12:41] Armada: do you get any [12:41] nods [12:41] Well [12:41] Armada, ill check the ubuntu kernel, hang on [12:41] only drives that were connected on startup [12:41] hischild, sorry for the delay... I dont know why it needs root priviledges... i would get an error for accessing the hard drive and the vm wouldnt start.... So through vm you cannot run programs like autocad that require higher video memory ?!!?!? (that would be a disaster :( ) [12:41] one thing I do notice, when I unplug it it does dissapear from fdisk -l [12:42] Svenstaro: Thx [12:42] Svenstaro: doesnt Synaptic set it up for me? or there are other tweaks i need to run? [12:42] differentreality, direct rendering is not possible AFAIK ... [12:42] if its showing in fdisk -l, then you should be able to mount the thing.. [12:42] it doesn't [12:42] oh god :( [12:42] differentreality, does your normal user have read and write permissions on the HD? [12:42] unles sof course all this pluggingin/out has totally confused things.. [12:42] hischild, i guess [12:42] Mzalendo, when you do server administrations theres a lot of stuff you need to do manually [12:42] differentreality: using vm you can not use direct rendering normally [12:42] Svenstaro: Hischild: theres no lsusb for this junky usb devide :S [12:43] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, then its dead [12:43] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, check dmesg for any errors [12:43] is there a way to resize window to certain exact size? [12:43] so... is there some way for me to install windows in dual boot without formating the linux partition ? cause i've already messed with the partitions once :( === yu_za is now known as co-djail [12:43] Hello, does anyone know if there is a C-interface to the udev-stuff? I'd like to find out information about specific USB-harddrives from my own program so running for example "udevinfo" in command line and parsing it's output from stdout is a bit ugly... [12:44] hi [12:44] who is here [12:44] differentreality, you need to manually install GRUB then [12:44] hischild:[ 8023.188000] usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [12:44] [ 8023.324000] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [12:44] differentreality, i try to keep windows and linux on their own hard drives. You could just run windows inside vmware on linux if you just need a few windows things. [12:44] differentreality, don't know how, I'll look it up [12:44] Armada, yeah i had tried that yesterday that i messed around with it.. but it wouldnt work :/ [12:44] huamn, you could just include the udev source headers call the actual functions [12:45] differentreality, did you install the MBR? [12:45] YgorAbreu_ESP_BR, i'm at a loss as i don't know your card i'm afarid [12:45] *afraid [12:45] Dr_willis, thing is i need to run autocad + google earth + google sketch up (and specifically those windows apps and no some equivalent in linux) [12:45] Armada, you should go ahead and compile your own kernel which does hotplugging [12:45] where can I get vista theme for GNOME the link in gnome.org is dead ? [12:45] Armada, i only did the thing with (hd0,1) [12:45] gnome-look website [12:45] Armada, 2-3 commands i found them on the internet in various tutorials [12:46] Svenstaro, o_O Is there a manual for that? [12:46] differentreality, otherwise you will need to rezise the filesytems, to make space for the windows install. [12:46] differentreality: this may help: http://www.apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [12:46] Svenstaro, I couldn't find any information about them in the man pages; is there any manual regarding the source usage or should I just find them somewhere and look at the headers? [12:46] Armada, you are owner of a hotplugging capable server board and dont know how to compile a kernel? :( === Stargazer is now known as Rezagrats [12:46] hischild: yeah its a junky equipment :s [12:47] huamn, just apt-source udev without compiling gets you the headers [12:47] Svenstaro, it's not a server board, just high-end [12:47] Armada, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [12:47] Armada, whats the board type? [12:48] http://www.gigabyte.eu/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2665&ProductName=GA-X38-DQ6 [12:48] actually - there is googleearth for linux. :) [12:48] wait visit this page [12:48] http://www.gigabyte.eu/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2665&ProductName=GA-X38-DQ6 [12:48] Armada, i can tell you straight that it doesnt do wat ubuntu thinks is "hot plugging" [12:49] OOXML got the ISO ? [12:49] I have onboard sound (currently disabled) and a Creative Audigy Value card. Sound works great, but I have never gotten the microphone to work (they work in XP). Why doesn't my microphone work? I bought the card because onboard didn't like my mic. How hard can microphone support be? [12:49] under "SATA 3Gb/s storage interface" last sentence: "Hot Plug support allows users to insert and remove hard disk drives without shutting off power to the system." [12:49] Armada, thats eSATA [12:49] Smegzor: have you googled an answer? [12:49] yes, a LOT [12:50] He all, I'm a little confused, I setup Exim4, Courier, and SquirrelMail, but all my mail is still going to /var/mail/user, anyone care to fill me in? [12:50] Svenstaro, yes, so? I use eSATA [12:50] Armada why didnt you say so from the beginning :( [12:50] Armada: maybe udev is worth a look? [12:50] Smegzor: have you messed around with the sound settings? a lot of times its a simple matter of changing things until it works [12:50] all of them :/ [12:50] DistroJockey, looks like a nice tutorial, tnx :) I'll see now if my windows cd actually boots (cause it wouldnt recognize the hard driver until yesterday) [12:50] the best I can get is some static === krel is now known as vkrel [12:50] Smegzor: good. let me google some [12:50] Svenstaro, didn't know that it mattered :P [12:50] differentreality: k, good luck [12:51] tnx tnx :) [12:51] differentreality: and you're welcome [12:51] :) [12:51] DistroJockey, naaaaaah :( no luck :( [12:51] differentreality: :( [12:51] Armada, well, as I said, your board doesnt do real hot plugging, eSATA is the trick, search google for ubuntu esata, should give you some resolutions [12:52] anyone know anything about setting up a mail server?

Google is your friend :) [12:54] hi - im setting up sshfs /home directories using pam_mount. Everything works ok except im getting an error from evolution about lockfiles.

[12:55] ubuntu on installation detects the hard drive with no prob... windows should too but they didnt not even before i had installed ubuntu [12:55] differentreality: maybe, I was thinking linux may be writing a weird signature to the disk [12:55] ActionParsnip: I've never found those switches, mic boost etc. [12:55] nevermind, was a configuration issue with exim4 :-P Fixed! :) [12:56] in my switches tab I just have a single tick box and it doesn't help [12:56] Smegzor: hmm [12:56] where i can download the agbot??

[13:07] I have a mate, thats about to blow up due to his sound card is not support more then one sound source at a time [13:07] will* not* [13:07] he wants to run a movie and talk on skype at the same time [13:07] compwiz18: was only on for 5 minutes before it happend the first time, seems to do it every 5 minutes or so when sending lots of data, got about 3GB through the first time [13:08] but of course his pc won't do it in ubuntu [13:08] Beingaware: I hear PulseAudio is good [13:08] Beingaware: make sure that both are using ALSA [13:08] now my pc/laptop does runs 10 sound sources fine but his won't [13:08] run* [13:08] Beingaware: there should be a option in preferences for skype (I assume, never used it) [13:08] if skype is set to OSS, then it will have the described behavior [13:08] hes using a realtek 885 chipset [13:09] hes tryed all that [13:09] its not working [13:09] if one is running the other won't [13:09] Beingaware, instead of keeping talking, try the suggestions, if need be, try them again [13:09] Beingaware: there is probably something running that is using OSS (or both of them are) [13:09] OMG! The plugs on the back of the Creative Audigy card are coloured wrong. On EVERY other card, pink = mic. On this card its blue. I now have a working mic *facepalm* [13:09] hes about go back to Vista haha [13:09] Beingaware: shot in the dark: run killall esd [13:10] Hi, I'm trying to scan an image with xsane using a usb flatbed scanner. When I start xsane, I can select the right device, but after that it gives me the error: "Failed to open device `name': Invalid argument." [13:10] Beingaware: be aware, it may cause loss of sound in one or more programs [13:10] anyone know what is going on? [13:10] Smegzor, i always take the manual for my sound cards and copy/cut/tape out the port diagrams. :) to the back of my cases [13:10] where i write the ip for wired connection [13:11] of all the stupid things to mess up (and I don't think it was my error). Creative need to stick with the standard! [13:11] Smegzor: Creative needs to do a lot of things, according to digg :D [13:11] Smegzor: d'oh [13:11] digg needs to do a lot of things :P [13:11] where does alsa hide? [13:11] yeah I read that. Pity I just bought this card, however I couldn't get the frontside mic working at all so I win in the end. [13:11] Smegzor: well we both learned something :D [13:11] /dev/alsa? [13:11] like with oss? [13:12] Smegzor, thers a IEEE standard on port colors for sound cards? [13:12] or /dev/audio [13:12] Thanks ActionParsnip! One of those threads gave me the idea to look back there. [13:12] Dr_willis: its an audigy LS [13:12] where i write the ip for wired connection [13:12] Beingaware: I don't think so (correct me if I'm wrong someone) ALSA uses /dev/oss, hence hte problems when OSS is being used with ALSA [13:12] I don't know, but I've never seen a mic port that wasn't pink until now. [13:12] ActionParsnip, I do recall that on my sound card brackets theres a little drawing of a 'mic' on the bracket near the port [13:13] Smegzor, i got a card that all theports are 'gold' :) [13:13] my laptop runs it all fine [13:13] so I am confused why he is having issues [13:13] Dr_willis: i just jam it in til it works :) [13:13] ActionParsnip, i WONT type what i just started to......... too easy..... [13:13] Beingaware: did you try the suggestions above, and did they not work? [13:13] If you jam it in too much, you're playing with it. [13:13] Dr_willis: you are filthy [13:13] for him no [13:14] hes getting a bit upset now [13:14] Beingaware, that's nto going to help us out any better. [13:14] Beingaware: are you SURE that Skype is using ALSA? [13:14] hes been trying for 4 hours, and since I am calm, I am trying [13:14] Beingaware: and are you SURE that the movie player is using ALSA too [13:14] Beingaware: and esd isn't running? [13:14] hes now trying teamspeak with vlc/amarok [13:14] and you aren't using any other sound programs [13:14] like amarok [13:15] is amarok using ALSA? [13:15] yes [13:15] everything is set to alsa apart from teamspeak (what he has told me) [13:15] VLC is using alsa? [13:15] is teamspeak running? [13:15] d [13:15] Beingaware: you could install the skype plugin for pidgin :) [13:15] yes [13:16] Would this be worth a look? !pulseaudio [13:16] can he force teamspeak to use alsa? [13:16] !pulseaudio [13:16] Beingaware, please read suggestions. You were told to close down all apps using sound and set them to alsa. If one uses OSS the rest won't work. [13:16] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [13:16] but then you have to configure everything to use pulseaudio don't you? [13:16] anyone know why I can't receive mail on my mail server from outside the local LAN? [13:16] compwiz18: probably [13:17] hes trying two sessions of vlc [13:17] hold on [13:17] DistroJockey: I installed pulse on arch and it give me lots of trouble so i'm rather against it at the moment :P [13:17] I suspect it would work well on Ubuntu though [13:17] because I am terrible at pulse setting up ness [13:17] help! what to do if in X the left arrow 'hangs' ? [13:17] x is unusable :( [13:17] compwiz18: fair enough, I know Hardy is going that way. But I will install it now on Gutsy and see :) [13:17] phaidros: hit ctrl+alt+backspace to reboot x [13:17] phaidros: restart X? [13:18] I'm trying to scan an image with xsane using a usb flatbed scanner. When I start xsane, I can select the right device, but after that it gives me the error: "Failed to open device `name': Invalid argument." what do I do? [13:18] phaidros: WATCH OUT< ctrl alt backspace kills X and you lose everything [13:18] nope, of course without restartinf X :) [13:18] phaidros: failing that, ctrl+alt+f6 and try and repair X [13:18] compwiz18: exactly :) [13:18] phaidros: just warning you, not know your level of expertise [13:18] Na-Fiann: you need to tell xsane where your scanner is. NAME will be a placeholder in a config file [13:18] :) [13:18] well, it seems to be a regular re occuring situation .. [13:18] my X decided to hold down ctrl+alt the other day [13:19] how do you search for files in ubuntu? [13:19] rather irritating [13:19] phaidros: do you use fglrx by chance? [13:19] compwiz18: nope, nvidia [13:19] ActionParsnip: I already selected the right scanner in a dialog [13:19] phaidros: hm [13:19] phaidros: propriatery or the inbuilt ones (nv)? [13:19] anybody on hardy beta here? I believe it could have something to do with scim .. :/ [13:19] scanimage gives the same error [13:20] !hardy | phaidros [13:20] phaidros: 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 [13:20] come join us in #ubuntu+1 [13:20] Na-Fiann: what is the full error message?

[13:23] I've tried everything, and I can't figure out how to set up the thumb buttons correctly [13:23] search for artec and it will give you what you need [13:23] Xstatic, you can explain youri ssue more then I can [13:23] your* issue* [13:23] sound ftl [13:24] everything set to alsa, no sound output from more then 1 application at a time. [13:24] already thrown 1 set of headphones at the wall. :( [13:24] Na-Fiann: you got it ok? [13:24] funny how that you have sound issues. I am running amarok and vlc and youtube without trouble ... [13:24] yeah thanks, reading it now:) [13:24] anyway i have to run .. bbl folks [13:24] multi app sound can be a real hassle dependng on the sound card. [13:25] Na-Fiann: if you search for precise errors you usually get good results. google is your friend [13:25] Dr_willis, is it worth me grabbing my old audigy 2 value and using that? I would have preferred my nice 24bit onboard, though... [13:25] Svenstaro: u still there? do u mind helping me out on PM? [13:25] hehe srry, not so used to copying precise errors... [13:25] xstatic, audigy2 i have - has lasted me the last 4 machines.. It may sound much better then any onboard cards you have.

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [13:27] how to brodcast ping [13:27] ok, time for my first question here: When following this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio at the step where it says "Adding Users to the PulseAudio groups", only the pulse group's permissions stick. Anyone seen this before? [13:28] i tried ping -b 192.168.1.255 ? but my system only replies . other system wont [13:28] sys: are these other systems windows? [13:28] synsand: most systems wont reply to broadcasts like that as far as I'm aware [13:29] because that's normal [13:29] im using the standard remote desktop in ubuntu and xp vnc to connect to the machine within the network any reason why it would be slow ? [13:29] DJ_HaMsTa: any load on the link right now? Is itover LAN or WAN? [13:29] system are windows [13:29] but they replies for normal ping [13:29] like ping 192.168.1.3 [13:29] DJ_HaMsTa, i found gnome under vnc to be a bit sluggish. I tend to use 'vncserver' and set it to run a very very very light window manager. with no eye candy. [13:30] but not for broadcast address [13:30] syssan: yes that's normal [13:30] DJ_HaMsTa, vnc is quite slow [13:30] anything quicker then vnc ? [13:30] DJ_HaMsTa, X11 is much faster but requires higher bandwidth [13:30] well its a 100mb line [13:30] how higher could it be [13:30] gauze : how to get reply from all systems [13:31] DJ_HaMsTa: you canget 1gb or fibre optic but thats a whole different story [13:31] synsand, i use nmap to scan my lan quickly. [13:31] DJ_HaMsTa, in a 100mb line X11 is almost being in front of the remote desktop for all the common tasks (except for games, image processing, ...) but definitvely faster than vnc [13:31] synsand: ping scanning would be the only way [13:31] DJ_HaMsTa: so its on the internal LAN and its slow [13:31] gauze : i tried sequetial pinging all system (255) . it takes around 15 min [13:31] thts two long for me [13:31] synsand: sudo nmap -sP 10.0.1.1/24 [13:31] ^^ what dr_willis is saying [13:31] DJ_HaMsTa: change the compression on the client [13:31] yup internal lan [13:31] where 10.0.1.1/24 is your lan [13:32] nmap -sP '192.168.1.*' [13:32] hello [13:32] i know nmap i used it .it works within 11 seconds [13:32] DJ_HaMsTa, X11 is difficult to setup in the windows box, I guess.... [13:32] but i wanted it using ping only [13:32] how´s everybody [13:32] online game like simcity http://broken-cross.myminicity.es/ind [13:32] Dr_willis: do you use bash, or zsh, or something else?

[13:33] Dr_willis: just curious - I noticed you put the ' ' around the IP === sven_ is now known as spanther [13:33] notsaint, dont expect everyone to pop up every web site people poste either. [13:33] complexity: if you are asking about the * in dr_willis's nmap line it's quoted so the shell doesn't expand it [13:34] if you use zsh, it tries to expand the IP when you have * and it doesn't like it [13:34] er [13:34] compwiz [13:34] compwiz18, nmap can handle the wildcards itself. :) [13:34] compwiz18, without the '' bash would also. [13:34] notsaint: what about the game? [13:34] Dr_willis: I know, but ZSH thinks it can too, which it doesn't liek [13:34] hello [13:34] i need help [13:34] Dr_willis: I'm not having to in bash [13:34] oh boy [13:34] Dr_willis, just for curiosity: does Xming provide GLX extension? (i.e. do openGL Linux apps get accelerated?) [13:34] compwiz18, i imagine zsh has some quoteing to get around it also. [13:34] * gauze always places quotes around shell wildcards, just in case. [13:34] hi [13:34] online game like simcity http://broken-cross.myminicity.es/ind [13:34] hello there is there a way how i can use this theme here ? i do have 7.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/gelatin [13:34] notsaint: give up [13:34] guillem101, never noticed.. I doubt it. [13:34] are there any problems installing a http server on ubuntu desktop edition? or should i intsall server version? what is the difference between them? [13:35] ok [13:35] bye [13:35] theman3: no problem [13:35] ok, thnaks :) [13:35] how to become superuser in ubuntu [13:35] synsand: sudo su [13:35] theman3: they're exactly the same, except that server edtion has less desktop and more server, whereas desktop has less server and more desktop -- IE, server edition doesn't have GNOME, but it can be installed [13:35] if that makes any snse [13:35] sense** [13:35] compwiz18, i can think of 2 programs i normally use the '*' stuff.. one is nmap, other is unzip [13:36] compwiz18: thanks :) [13:36] will isntall desktop =) [13:36] theman3: the difference : server edition installs some other packages as default :) And iirc it have a "server" kernel that isn't optimized for desktop/multimedia :) [13:36] Morning lads [13:37] evening [13:37] does any won know where i can get a ubuntu root file system image? [13:37] :P [13:37] Terrasqu1: theman3: does the server version have X? [13:37] Dr_willis, hmmm, seems that Xming does support OpenGL acceleration unless you explicitly install Xming-mesa instead. Sweet! [13:37] DistroJockey: by default, no. But it can be installed if you want [13:37] Terrasqu1: nods [13:38] What's the way to go when I'd like to create symlinks /dev/usbhd_X for all connected USB hard drives / memory sticks in the system? Is there a way to do this easily with multiple USB drives with udev, as a rule like KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", SYMLINK+="usbhd_%n" maps the second drive over the first one...

[13:40] compwiz18, unless you were in an empty directory perhaps [13:40] DJ_HaMsTa, as suggested by Dr_willis, definitely, Xming deserves giving it a try! [13:40] i am having an annoying problem i dont get any sound from my vlc. but i do from movie player [13:41] compwiz18, in an empty dir. with bash nmap -sP 192.168.1.* works. :) [13:41] Dr_willis: yes, mine works in bash so long as there is no 10.0.1.* matches [13:41] :) [13:41] compwiz18, thats the diff. no matches. bash sends the whole * string, zsh must do it differently [13:42] Dr_willis: zsh apparently tries to expand it regardless, and then dies if it can't [13:42] maybe I can change that... [13:42] Try the fish shell. :) [13:42] Dr_willis: I did, it was pretty nice [13:43] sudo apt-get install fish [13:43] hello all [13:43] !hi [13:43] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

Is there a default assigned then? [13:47] ok [13:47] krang: there is no password assigned until you run passwd [13:48] ActionParsnip: So why is it insecure not to assign one?

[13:55] woot fixed my sound issues... with playback [13:55] <|Dede|> seems like I've already upgraded/updated, b/c it does not install any new packages === co-djali is now known as paniang [13:55] |Dede|: try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [13:55] stephans: you can, but like you said it'll try and downgrade it for you with ones that are in the repos [13:55] installed other sound card. :P [13:55] <|Dede|> I have [13:55] |Dede|: ok cool [13:55] stephans: double check those repos, not sure if they are official [13:55] compwiz18: ok :) thanks [13:55] |Dede|: pastebin of lsusb [13:55] Hello, i would like to run perl script in the terminal & to capture the terminal output (process of the script) - for now i use this command : scripts.pl > log.txt , on the terminal i can see the all process but in the log file i get only part of the process (i think becouse the script calling other scripts) how i can save the exact lines as the terminal shows? can someone help me please ? [13:55] |Dede|: please [13:55] <|Dede|> all right, just hold on a sec [13:55] kate_mins: use perl scripts.pl > log.txt [13:55] stephans: or you could try uninstalling openoffice and just compile it from source [13:56] stephans: that would stop apt-get from bugging you :P [13:56] <|Dede|> http://pastebin.com/d5b17ce9c [13:56] Waistless: yikes :) === co-djali is now known as paniang [13:56] Waistless, they have a install.sh as well... [13:56] |Dede|: does this thing have a usb port adapter for 2 standard audio plugs? [13:56] hello... [13:56] this is my first time here [13:57] !rahu [13:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about rahu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:57] !hi | rahu1 [13:57] rahu1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:57] took me 15 min to come here!! [13:57] <|Dede|> How can I find out, because I don't know [13:57] thank you [13:57] rahu1, why? [13:57] !ldap [13:57] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [13:57] |Dede|: unplug it and look at it [13:57] |Dede|: do the wires come out of the usb thingy? [13:57] most of the time I get my problems solved through forums on the net [13:57] ActionParsnip: still the same ? how i can capture the terminal screen lines into file? [13:58] but I have a problem and couldn't find the sol. on net === _snewp is now known as snewp [13:58] kate_mins: the > should redirect the output to the file. make sure you are in a place you can write to (like ~/) [13:58] <|Dede|> what do you mean, it looks like this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:USB_Male_Plug_Type_A.jpg [13:58] marlun: mine is a texas instruments, bu tnot the same model [13:58] I started DOOM 3 and I can see the light 'object' is on but everything is dark.. can't see anything [13:58] mine works fine though [13:59] kate_mins: e.g. ls *.mp3 > listofmp3s.txt [13:59] I am using Ubuntu 7.04 on G965 chipset having X3000 [13:59] rahu1: did you install it correctly? [13:59] rahu1: and do you have your graphics drivers installed? [14:00] I think so... meaning.. I can see the startup videos and all.... this only occurs during gameplay [14:00] how do i do multiple commands in 1 launcher [14:00] Hi all, I'm after some help getting my Vodafone wireless internet to work, I have it saying it is connected but there is no data being sent or received, any ideas? using ubuntu 7.10 [14:00] <|Dede|> You read it? Action [14:00] rahu1: what graphics card do you have? [14:00] sounds a bit like a shader issue, rahul [14:00] like if i want a launcher to do hamachi start, hamachi login [14:00] how do you re install the nvidia driver? [14:00] I am using the drivers which came with Ubuntu 7.04 .. don't know how to upgrade graphic driver in linux :( [14:00] numus, a shell script [14:00] compwiz18: ok, and it works for you? [14:00] anyone know why i dont have any sound on my vlc [14:01] osama i mean is it hamachi start, hamachi login in the commands? [14:01] I am using Integrated X3000 [14:01] marlun: yeah [14:01] that came with G965 [14:01] jaffarkelshac do you get any sounds from your system at all or just in VLC? [14:01] !ati | rahu1 [14:01] rahu1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:01] i get it from movie player but not from vlc when i tryto play .divx files [14:01] I could use some help. [14:01] <|Dede|> ActionParsnip, what that the thing you wanted to know? [14:01] rahul, check the specs for that chipset, see if all the proper shaders are supported [14:01] <|Dede|> *was [14:01] jaffarkelshac it could be a codec issue [14:01] shaders??? [14:02] I just created an install cd with my own repo and preseed with FAI. [14:02] numus, I thikn you can use a semicolon ; or && to execute only after success of the first command [14:02] do you get sound on other video files? [14:02] first time, vlc has never failed [14:02] nope [14:02] |Dede|: if you look at tyhe bit that connects to your pc, is it simply 2 standard audio jacks going into a usb connector? [14:02] But the cd says that the Release file is not readable [14:02] I can only give you info regarding things like glxinfo and stuff.. whatever you need [14:02] jaffarkelshac have you had a look at the audio settings in VLC? and have you tried another player (totem, kaffeine etc.)? [14:03] kate_mins: perl scripts.pl &> file.txt [14:03] ActionParsnip:i used : perl scripts.pl > log.txt - still the same - the problem caused in the lines when the script calling other perl scripts - so i the command not capture the lines that created by the external scripts? [14:03] Terrasqu1: i will try this now .. [14:04] kate_mins, could be sending the lines to stderr instead of stdout [14:04] kate_mins, perl scripts.pl 2> log.txt [14:04] kate_mins: I suspect that some of them write something to stderr, and that will not be redirected to file [14:04] i have not restarted for a while, i will see if that fixees it [14:04] osama: that will only redirect stderr :) [14:05] kate_mins: should do. maybe you could code your scripts to outut to files as well as the screen :) === RaceKondition is now known as RaceCondition [14:05] Anybody here tried the PulseAudio guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio ? [14:06] |Dede|: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599306 [14:07] rahul, looks like your chipset should support shader model 3, so that's not the problem [14:07] My specific issue is with the group permissions not sticking with the pulse-access and pulse-rt groups === RaceCondition is now known as RaceKondition === RaceKondition is now known as RaceCondition [14:07] !nickspam > RaceCondition (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [14:07] <|Dede|> I only can see one wire on my whole headset.. then going into 2 for the 2 speakers [14:08] can anyone help me get my mobile internet working correctly? [14:08] Terrasqu1: thanks its working :) [14:08] Pici: sorry [14:08] |Dede|: ok so the wires don't come out [14:08] ActionParsnip: thanks for your help [14:08] kate_mins: great :) [14:08] |Dede|: check the post i pasted [14:08] osama: thanks for your help [14:08] <|Dede|> no actually it's just one plain black wire [14:08] <|Dede|> okay [14:08] thats' why after searching for that prb. on the net I came here [14:08] kate_mins, you're welcome [14:09] <|Dede|> *with some thingy on it to control the volume === atif_ is now known as atif [14:10] hey all. my screens and graphics manager keeps defaulting to the VESA driver even though xorg tells it to use nvidia and i have uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia restricted driver that i know works on my machine. any ideas? === atif is now known as atif_ [14:11] rahul, try http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org [14:11] I could use some help. [14:11] I just created an install cd with my own repo and preseed with FAI. [14:11] But the cd says that the Release file is not readable [14:12] hmm.. have been there many a times but I am not confident enough to do all that.... what will happen if I mess it up... this is the longest running distro... I have at my home! [14:13] and shouldn't the driver be already with my distro ubuntu 7.04 as it is free [14:13] i want to run a command in sessions but it requires admin previlages.. how would i set it up [14:14] compwiz18: Sorry, was away for a while. How do you test that your card reader works? A mount is created when you insert a card? [14:14] ? [14:14] purwokerto [14:14] marlun: yeah, the card should be mounted [14:14] numus_: add "sudo" in the front of that command [14:15] hi, i wrote a new udev rule but if i restart udevd to apply it udev consumes 100%cpu without any error-message; the udev-rule syntax was taken from a tutorial from ubuntuforums.org - any udev experienced people in here? [14:15] paavi2_0 did that but it didnt load teh command on startup [14:15] Hi guys - I'm a linux newb. I'm running fiesty fawn. I'm trying to copy and paste a file into the folder usr/lib but it says I dont have permission to do this. I'm the only one that uses this computer, can someone please tell me how I can get access rights to paste to this folder? [14:15] rahul, it probably should already be in the ubuntu repo, but this is the best I can come up with, sorry [14:15] marlun: I have to go, but good luck :) other people here will be happy to help you too :) [14:16] !rootsudo | Bren1 [14:16] Bren1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [14:16] numus_: which command? have you added that command to a start-up-script? [14:16] thank you :) [14:16] hey all. my screens and graphics manager keeps defaulting to the VESA driver even though xorg tells it to use nvidia and i have uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia restricted driver that i know works on my machine. anyone know how to uninstall/reinstall the screens and graphics menu or have any idea why i cant use the driver again? [14:16] pavvi2_0 it is tuncfg command [14:16] my sound problem fixed itself [14:17] <|Dede|> unselecting enable ESD does not work [14:17] ! list [14:17] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:17] guys how do I uninstall nero linux ?? I installed it by just unpacking tar to / [14:17] !list [14:17] anyone know how to mount a ntfs drive on a vpn? [14:18] how do I change permissions for a drive? [14:18] mad_max02, First of all, why on Earth would you unpack it to /?? [14:18] Creationist, because thats what it said in the nfo [14:18] Creationist, there are folders in tar and it copies properly [14:19] Hi i've been waiting for ubuntu to install for 30min now and seems to be stuck @ 15% (detecting filesystems) is that normal? [14:19] mad_max02, I understand that it will copy properly, but the / directory is definitely not a good place for you to manually install software to. It should go in your home folder to keep things safe. [14:19] I've seen it struggle with some raid controllers, windosor, but 30 mins is a bit extreme [14:19] windosor: no, its not normal. Is the HDD led blinking? [14:19] no [14:20] mad_max02, but since all you really did was extract an archive, you can "uninstall" nero by simply deleting that directory. [14:20] what should i do than? [14:20] Creationist, its not only one dir but ok I'll open tar file and locate all files from it [14:20] no prb. [14:20] windosor: you could start a terminal and run "dmesg" to see if it was any errors there. But you'll probably have to reboot and try again. [14:20] mad_max02, Just delete the top-level directory for it. [14:20] ok [14:21] windosor: what ubuntu version is it? [14:21] Creationist, and I thing that nero has to be installed with root permissions [14:21] hi folks... am back [14:21] mad_max02, That will delete all files/directories within it. [14:21] Creationist, delete /usr ???? [14:21] Success: I managed to install apache2 server, mysql5 and php5 [14:21] mad_max02, Uhm, word of advice... if you don't know how to manually install software, don't do it again. [14:21] i now have the phpmyadmin console running [14:21] mad_max02, No.... delete /Nero (or whatever it's called) [14:21] <|Dede|> ActionParsnip, unselecting ESD does not work and "asoundconf list" only shows the options "ICH" and "default" for my available sound cards [14:21] how do i set up Joomla, because i still cant access the folder from my browser... phpmyadmin is running from the browser [14:22] I am trying to enable to nvidia restricted driver but the screens and graphics settings keeps somehow changing it back to VESA- even though xorg tells it to use nvidia [14:22] Creationist, thing is that its what it said in nfo and when I installed it as user it didnt work but when I installed it as root worked as a charm [14:22] HI [14:22] I am trying to enable to nvidia restricted driver but the screens and graphics settings keeps somehow changing it back to VESA- even though xorg tells it to use nvidia... anyone have any ideas [14:22] ---sorry for spam post, forgot a line === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [14:22] i have liblame0 and stuff installed for ripping, but i cant seem to find where to change the setting off of 128... how do i set sound juicer to VBR or 320? or do i need a different app for that? [14:22] anyone knowing their way around bash shell? [14:23] niles_ somewhat, what do you need? [14:23] how can I change read/write permissions for a disk-partition? [14:23] niels_ somewhat, what do you need? [14:23] Terrasqu1 latest but not beta 7.10 [14:23] mad_max02, well, once you figure out what you're doing to get rid of Nero, look into installing K3b.... it works better than Nero and is MUCH easier to install. [14:23] brasero is nice too if you're using gnome [14:23] I'm trying to set up some enviromentals inorder to download a liscense file from a server each time I start the program [14:24] Creationist, what? easier to install? i find that typing "sudo aptitude install k3b" is very difficult ... [14:24] Creationist, K3b is like retarded nero and I dont like it [14:24] it does the nice mp3>cda conversion on the fly ala itunes [14:24] windosor: ok. It can be something with the partitions on the disk. What install method did you use? manual, free space, resize, whole disk? [14:24] manual [14:24] hischild, sure, and when you manage to type down the line, it asks you for a password!!!!! [14:24] mad_max02: try brasero, it's similar to nero [14:24] <|Dede|> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but I just can't get my USB Headset work properly (strangely sound works in pidgin and banshee music player, but does not for java applets, UT 2004, or even the login sound) [14:24] nice and simple [14:24] 1root 1swap [14:25] guillem101, oh no! not the password! oh wait ... it doesn't! oh halp me! it doesn't ask for a password! [14:25] niels__ probably would not be the one to ask then.... lol [14:25] bhsx, why would I change nero when its the best ??? [14:25] hischild: u back? i need help bro === paniang is now known as p_mbalap [14:25] Mzalendo, i'm back, 'sup? [14:25] windosor: it might be something there its having issues with. Hard to tell, as that install isn't chatty. You could try alternate install cd [14:25] niels__: Try asking in #bash, that channel is more suited to your question :) [14:25] mad_max02, Well, you're getting rid of Nero - what do you plan on using instead? [14:25] SIrjoebob thx [14:25] because nero is a hog and rather ugly... and doesn't do everything by default without paying for it [14:25] hischild: i need help setting up Joomla 1.5 on my station... can we PM? [14:25] bhsx, I just asked is there any easier way of uninstalling it them doing it manually just because I'm installing newer version from deb [14:25] hischild, try "password", or "12345678" or "nonenone" [14:25] brasero is free, and comes default with everything [14:25] niels__ np.. and echo what pici said [14:26] <|Dede|> anybody knows what to do? [14:26] Creationist, newer version of nero ofc [14:26] ah ok, nvm then [14:26] guillem101, hehe .. i edited my sudo file to not ask me a password while i'm setting up this system ... :P [14:26] hischild, :P [14:26] bhsx, well nero is free too [14:26] Mzalendo, i'm afraid i have 0% experience in setting up joomla. Perhaps someone in this channel knows how to do it. [14:26] mad_max02, well, I told you the only way to "uninstall" nero is to delete the folder you copied it to. You never actually "installed" anything if all you did was extract the .tar. [14:27] I wanna install ubuntu first and then install xp what method do you suggest? [14:27] <|Dede|> Could somebody help me with my USB headset problem, please? [14:27] Creationist, yeah I'm doing it now. When I install deb I'll be able to upgrade it without deleting it [14:27] hischild: nobody answered so far... do u know how to setup apache2 server, php5 and mysql5? [14:27] |Dede|, maybe if you ask the question [14:27] Mzalendo, i only know the very basics. Google it with howto should get you pretty far [14:27] !lamp | Mzalendo [14:27] Mzalendo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [14:27] <|Dede|> I already have, but here is it again: [14:27] windosor, dont install win :D [14:27] <|Dede|> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but I just can't get my USB Headset work properly (strangely sound works in pidgin and banshee music player, but does not for java applets, UT 2004, or even the login sound) [14:27] does anyone know of a gnome (preferably) or kde cd>mp3 ripper that has different bitrate options? [14:28] windosor, I suggest not to install xp at all. But that is not what you want.... he he. [14:28] |Dede|, did you check what output are they set to ?? [14:28] windosor, just do it normally.... install Ubuntu, then Windows, then search Google for info on getting the GRUB boot loader back. [14:28] Creationist: i have already followed steps suggested under Ubuntu LAMP.... i have phpmyadmin running at the moment... so it means apache2 server and mysql5 are correctly installed... [14:28] windosor: if your machine can handle it, innotek virtualbox is a great option to have windoze functionality within a linux session [14:29] <|Dede|> you mean system -> sound? I set it to USB-Audio, and the test sond works [14:29] ok [14:29] Creationist: my main problem is to get the Joomla installation console running from the browser, which is the easiest way to install it [14:29] <|Dede|> that's why my problem is so strange... some sounds work, others do not [14:29] Mzalendo, so php apache mysql work ... [14:29] then google for a howto on joomla and you're done [14:29] <|Dede|> when I log in... I cannot here a login sound etc. [14:29] sirjoebob, well, for me, the only reason I keep Windows installed is for gaming... and VirtualBox and vmware are both completely useless for that. [14:29] <|Dede|> but Banshee can play music [14:29] |Dede|, then set programs to use that output [14:30] Mzalendo, I don't know anything about servers... I just know that LAMP is what you were asking about ;) Sorry. [14:30] <|Dede|> how can I set my system to use it [14:30] Hi - I'm new to linux - I'm still confused at what to do - I'm trying to paste a file into usr/lib. I'm running fiesty fawn. Could somebody please walk me through what I have to do? [14:30] bhsx: sound-juicer can do it, but you have to modify g-streamer pipes [14:30] hischild: i did that, but one process doesnt work... Joomla is already extracted on the /var/www/ folder... but i cant access it from the brower... [14:30] Creationist, that's also my only reason for keeping it. Yet i'm currently looking into linux games [14:30] Creationist, i use wine for all of my games and use vbox for running MS office and other windoze progams that wine does not like [14:30] Bren1, First of all, figure out why you want to paste a file there.... doing so could damage your system. [14:30] |Dede|, System/Prefferences/Multimedia System Selector [14:31] its for installing an ipod... loader thing [14:31] Paavi2_0: yeah, thanks, i'm reading that guide right now... guess i should google before asking huh? :) [14:31] |Dede|, but try to set programs manually to use USB-Audio [14:31] Mzalendo, hmm .. perhaps it doesn't have the right permissions? [14:31] hischild, wine has come a long way. i run hl2, counterstrike, GTA:vice city, and oblivion without many problems [14:31] <|Dede|> what if a program (or game like UT 2004) does not provide this option [14:31] hischild: all the permissions are set up ok... i got the following error when trying to open the joomla 1.5 folder [14:31] hischild: /tmp/r6asv9la-1.phtml could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. [14:31] sirjoebob, really? I have tried getting those same games to run with absolutely no success. [14:31] bhsx: i usually only use abcde, which is actually a script that uses lame, flac, cddb etc. for actually getting things done [14:31] Creationist, It's for installing ipod software [14:31] i've been a KDE'r for the last 9 years or so... i've always hated gnome, but i'm finding it very useful... just wierd that everything's hidden [14:31] sirjoebob, sourceforts (my main game, mod on hl2dm) will _NOT_ run correctly under wine. === Alan_ is now known as Alan [14:32] Bren1, what iPod software? You shouldn't need to install anything to use your iPod with Linux. [14:32] Mzalendo, oh that ... you have to edit your httpd.conf and add phtml as executed by php [14:32] Creationist.... wine has the suppt, but the big issue is video drivers... mine is the nvidia driver and seems to work amazing [14:32] Hallo [14:32] How do i convert TeX to DVI in Ubuntu? It appears "latex" is symlinked to pdftex... [14:32] hischild: how? can u show me? [14:33] Creationist, It's an ipod classic 6th generation 80gig. I've tried everything, nothing has worked so far because of compatibility problems. This app im looking at now says it works with classics. website is here: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/install_linux.php [14:33] sirjoebob, Yeah, I use nvidia too... but with Oblivion, for example, I seem to remember it either crashing right when I ran it, or graphics being completely screwed up. [14:33] hischild, odd, i have not had an issue with _any_ hl2 mod i have tried.... and i have ZPS, zombie master, and zombie stress [14:33] Bren1, isn't the 6th generation the one that they completely locked the iPod? [14:33] sirjoebob, compared to sourceforts they're all lightweight ... they don't use a lot of physics objects which wine apparently hates [14:33] Creationist, sorry I don't understand what you mean [14:33] Creationist, there are some winereg tweaks for oblivion... I think without tweaking it freaks out... i found a nice tut on it real quick with a googlesearch [14:34] Mzalendo, try to locate the httpd.conf file. Then open it and look for the line where it defines the .php file [14:34] hischild, i will have to try it out... i have yet to run into any game of mine i cant force to run in wine [14:34] Bren1, I believe that Apple decided with it's newest iPods to completely lock it down so that it will not work with Linux. Only works with iTunes. [14:34] Paavi2_0: hey, would changing the vbr-quality setting from 6 to 10 pretty much accomplish what i need, or should i manually set a bitrate, do you think? [14:34] sirjoebob, it runs in wine, but it won't go over 40 fps on all turned down and just feels laggy. Windows runs it maxed out with 100+. [14:35] the entire disk option seems to work during the installation already got to 22% in 3minutes [14:35] Creationist, erm, AFAIK someone cracked that in less than 48 hours [14:35] Creationist, that is true, but the software I am looking at is new and has fixed the problem. I just need to know how to copy and paste an audio library into usr/lib. It says i need root priviledges. I don't know what to do. [14:35] Alan, that's what I heard too... but I don't believe that ability has made it into the mainstream Linux distros yet. [14:35] Bren1, just use the terminal [14:35] <|Dede|> i cannot find the multimedia system selector [14:35] <|Dede|> is it hidden? [14:35] Mzalendo, still trouble? === Nuru1wai is now known as Nurulwai [14:35] hischild: i did a 'whereis httpd.conf' search and got 'httpd:' reply.... what does this mean? [14:35] bdmm, I'm new to linux and dont know how to use terminla [14:36] terminal* [14:36] Bren1, If you're absolutely positive you want to do it, add "sudo" before the command that requires root priviledges. [14:36] hischild, that sucks.... i never seem to have any framerate issues.... have you tried it with the most recent build? [14:36] sirjoebob, yes. [14:36] Mzalendo, use locate [14:36] Bren1, Oh... you're trying to do it with the file manager? [14:36] Svenstaro: apache2, php5 and mysql5 are installed... [14:36] Creationist, yes, because I don't know how to any other way [14:36] !terminal | Bren1 [14:36] Bren1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [14:36] Bren1, well, you're going to have to use the terminal to do that. [14:36] Mzalendo, now wheres the trouble thenß [14:36] hischild, that blows.... I dont know a whole lot about the meat of wine.... it has worked great for me. [14:37] yea bren, try do everything when ure installing stuff via terminal dude.. lots less headache mate (my noobie opinion :) [14:37] hischild, whats the trouble? [14:37] Svenstaro: but i need to edit the httpd,conf file to recognise the .phtml extensions [14:37] sirjoebob, for the rest it's a great tool, it just won't run with sourceforts [14:37] Mzalendo thats in /etc/apache2 [14:37] bhsx: highest quality is what you want? yes. but i'd advice you to first rip to flac and then convert to mp3. why? because you then have "real cd-quality" file-set and later on, if you need ogg or sumthin', you can convert with less loss of quality :) [14:37] Svenstaro, we were having a discussion about wine and sourceforts (my game, a hl2dm mod) [14:37] Svenstaro: finding the httpd.conf file IS the trouble now [14:37] lol [14:37] Mzalendo you can only use whereis on binary files [14:37] Creationist & ubotu, thank you I will read about terminal. I just don't know yet how to copy and paste files using terminal [14:37] hischild, sourceforts owns, thats about it [14:37] hischild, huh.... thats weird. maybe soon... thanks to some help from google, wine seems to be progressing pretty fast [14:37] use Edit mate [14:37] !cp | bren1 [14:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about cp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:37] Edit > Paste/Copy [14:37] Bren1, you don't copy/paste with the terminal... you type commands into it :) [14:37] is a .conf file a binary one? [14:37] hm, no cp? [14:38] Mzalendo, no [14:38] where is the httpd.conf file located? [14:38] Mzalendo, nowhere [14:38] Mzalendo, ==> locate httpd.conf [14:38] Creationist, yes sorry thats what i meant - i dont know the command to copy & paste [14:38] Mzalendo: you probably want /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [14:38] Mzalendo still at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, but apache2 doesnt use that file anymore [14:38] Bren1, the terminal is very similar in nature to the "Command Prompt" in windows or the old MS-DOS. [14:38] <|Dede|> mad_max02, is the multimedia system selector hidden? [14:38] Svenstaro, yes it does ... just won't run properly under linux [14:38] hischild, as in? [14:38] Bren1, open a terminal and type 'man cp' for info [14:38] actually... the default settings aren't very good... according to the lame docs, they should be set to '--preset medium|standard|extreme|insane' [14:39] thank you bdmm [14:39] Svenstaro: so which system recognises the .phtml extenstion? [14:39] Svenstaro, as in, 40 max fps on all turned down, while windows has 100+ on max [14:39] i think i'll do --preset fast extreme which should be VBR at ~320 [14:39] hischild, are you running compiz? [14:39] Svenstaro, tried it on a metacity one without any extra stuff running .. [14:40] Svenstaro, it's no big deal as i dualboot anyway [14:40] Bren1: ubotu's link tells you about cp [14:40] Is it possible for totem to play DVD's? [14:40] hischild, that should give you double the fps because compiz rerenders everything effectively halfing your fps [14:40] Bren1, keep in mind you'll need to use sudo if you want to copy to /usr/lib/ [14:40] Svenstaro, didn't notice a difference ... [14:40] Svenstaro, perhaps, somewhere, sometime, in the future... i'll try it again [14:40] hmm hi I can't enable extra effects :( === Trevi is now known as Trevinho [14:41] Bren1: you are going to break your system if you did not know how to copy and want to copy to /usr/lib/ [14:41] well, obviously, you need to be very sure of what you're doing when using sudo [14:42] bhsx: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/nautilus-script-audio-convert is then the package to install when you need to convert some audio files [14:42] How do i convert TeX to DVI in Ubuntu? It appears "latex" is symlinked to pdftex... [14:42] <|Dede|> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but I just can't get my USB Headset work properly (strangely sound works in pidgin and banshee music player, but does not for java applets, UT 2004, or even the login sound) Thanks in advance [14:42] railcrazy.blogspot.com [14:42] http://railcrazy.blogspot.com [14:42] Alan: are you using tetex or texlive? [14:42] jrib, texlive AFAIK [14:42] !offtopic | da [14:42] da: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:43] da not here please [14:43] Alan: hmm, I know 'latex' would create dvi files just fine on gutsy [14:43] How can I use the -generic kernel instead of the -server kernel? [14:43] jrib, that's what I'm on... [14:43] fiXXXerMet, did you install the server version of ubuntu? [14:44] jrib, actually, i appear to have both tetex and texlive installed [14:44] unop: yes [14:44] Hello. [14:44] Is there a screen saver that would show a web page? [14:44] Alan: hmm, on hardy now I see latex is a link to pdftex, let me try [14:44] fiXXXerMet, then the '-server' kernel is better suited for it, why do you want to change? [14:44] jrib, thanks :) [14:45] unop: I get Bus errors when I upgrade the system (apt-get upgrade) and am using the server version. [14:45] Alan: it still creates a dvi when I do 'latex file.tex' [14:45] (of the kernel) [14:45] jrib, pdftex does? === krystal_ is now known as andreus [14:46] Alan: no, 'latex' does. pdftex must check how you call it and do the appropriate thing [14:46] fiXXXerMet, that's probably down to some other error? can you !pastebin (do not paste in here) the errors you get? sudo apt-get install pastebinit && apt-get install -a | pastebinit [14:47] jrib, probably. Check the name of the executable is a common trick.... [14:47] Alan: if argv[0] == "latex": blah :) [14:47] anyone know what /etc/shadow- is? is it a backup of /etc/shadow ? [14:47] jrib, right... i'm just doing latex myfile.tex and it's running pdftex and creating a pdf, no dvi anywhere... [14:48] how do i install realplayer [14:48] fiXXXerMet, i forgot to put sudo with the second apt-get there .. === chtp_ is now known as ctp [14:48] <|Dede|> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but I just can't get my USB Headset work properly (strangely sound works in pidgin and banshee music player, but does not for java applets, UT 2004, or even the login sound) [14:49] unop: All I get is "Bus error" when using certain commands. I really don't want to have to reinstall my server again because once I start getting those Bus errors, the only way I see to fix is by reinstalling. [14:50] hello everybody [14:50] <|Dede|> Anybody can help me please? [14:50] anyone knows server side solution for image storage and search? [14:50] what is it dedel [14:50] <|Dede|> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but I just can't get my USB Headset work properly (strangely sound works in pidgin and banshee music player, but does not for java applets, UT 2004, or even the login sound) [14:50] fiXXXerMet, it's harder to pin down the source of the problem without the exact error message [14:50] is it logitech or ordinary usb headset [14:50] Alan: what about: latex --output-format dvi file.tex [14:51] <|Dede|> only ordinary [14:51] thanks Paavi2_0 [14:51] than it wont work [14:51] Alan, I prefer pdftex over latex->dvi ... but in my case my final output is a pdf anyway.... [14:51] unop: I promise that the only error I see is exactly "Bus error". If I knew how to get better errors, I'd post them, but the logs/dmesg everything is empty. [14:51] <|Dede|> how do you know?.. [14:51] try using ordinary non usb head set it works great [14:51] good === Alan___ is now known as Alan [14:52] <|Dede|> are you sure it wont work, or do you just not have a solution? [14:52] any pointers to doc on how to install windows dual-boot, if I've /already/ installed ubuntu? [14:52] jrib, sorry, if you said something in the last 2 mins i missed it - something broke my computer :( [14:52] fiXXXerMet, ahh well, i'm trying to help the best i can -- but you can do this. sudo apt-get install --reinstall dbus [14:52] i bought it myself from walmart skype compatible very good and works great on all communication [14:52] what's that do, unop? [14:52] dwhsix, install windows on free space and then use supergrub to fix it [14:53] Alan: what about: latex --output-format dvi file.tex [14:53] http://www.4front-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Applications_for_OSSv4 <-- have anyone followed these steps to get sound in flash videos using oss? [14:53] hischild: ok, let me try that -- maybe tonight when I actually have some free time... [14:53] fiXXXerMet, reinstall the dbus package and hopefully correct any misconfiguration. [14:53] jrib, still a dvi [14:53] yes i am sure it wont work i myself bought it for 10 dollars from radio shack and did not work [14:53] jrib, sorry, i mean still a pdf [14:54] is there a way to install ubuntu from the gos live usb [14:54] <|Dede|> mine was ~ 30 € [14:54] Alan, I prefer pdftex over latex->dvi ... but in my case my final output is a pdf anyway.... [14:54] if logitech would work but non logitech hard to work [14:54] and logitech cost around 35 dollars [14:54] guillem101, i'm experimenting - this is only going to be printed, not distributed, so i'm looking for something at a stage before PDF if possible [14:55] skimy, it's probably possible if the live CD has a connection to the internet - but it's not officially supported and you should be advised against doing that [14:55] guillem101, doesn't change the fact 'latex foo.tex' should make a dvi [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:55] yeah how to do using the internet [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:55] 006285885782258 [14:56] jrib, i'll check my laptop and see if it works correctly there [14:56] jrib: Thanks [14:56] gos is ubuntu based [14:56] any one has the solution for yahoo messenger [14:56] i mean other than pidgins [14:57] Alan: k, also try a simpler file to make sure it's not some directive in the file: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61750/ [14:57] Anyone know how to install the nonfree flash plugin in Firefox 3? [14:57] yes i know flash how to install [14:57] Creationist: what version of ubuntu? === andrei_ is now known as andreus [14:57] Alan, you are right. I was just saying that pdflatex is more comfortable and since it is able to embed alpha-channeled images, perhaps it is worth to switch to it. Your mileage may vary, of course. [14:57] jrib, It's Hardy (yes, I'm asking in #ubuntu+1 but no one knows) [14:57] probably possib = i tought his also. there are net install that reauire to drop two files on the usb stick and the setup starts trough internet but i couldn"t get it all [14:58] install non restricted ubuntu from add and remove and u will get flash non-free [14:58] hischild: there is a way to find out info about php.... [14:58] jrib, interesting.... must be something in the file then :| [14:58] flashplugin-nonfree installs it for FF2, not 3 [14:58] siraj: http://messenger.yahoo.com/unix.php [14:58] Creationist: people are answering your question there [14:58] Mzalendo, did you check out that file? (apache2.conf) [14:58] jrib, heh, how confusing :( [14:58] skimy, yes, but it doesn't contain the same package lists as the regular ubuntu CD .. so you'll end up with half the packages and some of them configured wrong [14:58] Alan: can you pastebin it? [14:58] hischild: i created a file named info.php on my localhost, but when i access it from my browser it opens in Gedit... why? [14:58] thanks genii i will try it out [14:58] guillem101, i'm using pdftex at the moment :P [14:59] if i don't get sound in flash soon, i will have a temper tantrum bordering on a seizure [14:59] Mzalendo, because apache isn't configured to use the php engine to open up php files [14:59] jrib, i have some \usepackage[pdftex]{foo} stuff... probably that? [14:59] for some reason in KDE if I scroll over a window, the cursor enlarges, what could be causing this [14:59] skimy, why don't you look into the !minimal and !netinstall CDs .. they're quite small [14:59] Alan: well you can try a binary search [15:00] hischild: am checking out the apache2.conf file... where do i look to set up .phtml files and .php files? [15:00] can i install gos then xubuntu over it or ubuntu gnome - usb only unop [15:00] #timisoara [15:01] genii dependencies not satisfiable [15:01] skimy, you can try but send me a PM where we can continue the discussion [15:01] genii i just tried the link downloaded and dependencies not satisfiable [15:01] hischild: is there any way i can send u my apache2.conf file so that u can see where it is that i need to set it up? [15:02] can someone tell me the room to join for Evolution mail client? [15:02] Mzalendo, you can always use pastebin, though i won't be of help since i have no experience. You can however look at this guide ==> http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies [15:02] im not haveing any luck with google on my error [15:02] how do I completely prevent gnome-panel from launching in ubuntu? I have installed kiba-dock and don't want any gnome panels [15:02] jrib, looks like i don't have much choice - importing my images isn't working without [pdftex] for graphicx, and using [pdftex] results in pdf output [15:03] hischild: i think i found something... hold on [15:03] jrib, oh well :) Thanks for your help anyway! [15:03] Alan: no problem [15:03] hello, i just upgrade awn using the "launchpad.net/reacocard-awn" repo, after the upgrade i couldn't seem to open the preferences .. any idea ? [15:03] when i try and send mail in evolution mail i get this : Error while performing operation. [15:03] MAIL FROM command failed: Syntax error in parameters or arguments [15:04] uhoh we're missing a bot === Rozza5 is now known as Rozza|Away [15:04] !away > Rozza|Away (Rozza|Away, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:04] siraj: Ah, too bad then. Any particular one it's complaining of? gdk-pixbuf or so? [15:04] Paladine, you need to go into your Gnome session preferences and remove gnome-panel (on the Current session tab), then `killall gnome-panel`, and it shouldn't come back [15:05] Alan, what about next time I log in? [15:05] Paladine, not even then [15:05] I already removed it from the current session [15:05] ok thanks [15:05] oh.... [15:05] heh [15:05] I haven't logged out since I removed it in the current session so I wasn't sure if it would come back or not [15:05] thanks Alan === akafurious|schoo is now known as akafurious [15:06] Paladine, no problem :) [15:06] join #debian [15:06] NEVER! [15:06] :) [15:06] Rageon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:06] if evolution mail cant send mail why preinstall it? [15:06] hischild: the configuration has been done in a file named php5.conf which is in the /etc/apache2/mods-available/ folder [15:07] hello, has anyone ever met a problem when "alt" stops working in ubuntu? alt+(f1,f2,f4,etc) combinations just don't work [15:07] are u using compiz at all? [15:07] though when i press both alts + f1,f2,f4 it works [15:07] Mzalendo, you still seem to be under the impression that i'm able to help you with setting up a lamp server. To clarify: I do not [15:07] let me reboot, maybe i need to do that... lol [15:07] now im going to get calls from all kinds of customers because evolution mail errors on sending mail [15:07] oh dont know about that mate [15:07] Rageon, yes, i am pretty use it is because of that but don't know how to fix it [15:07] . o 0 ( fight, fight, fight!! ) [15:07] Mzalendo: did you restart apache after installing php? [15:07] hischild: lol [15:07] when i switch back to metacity it works fine.. but not with compiz [15:08] jake2point0, you have to set it up properly ofcourse. I can just send emails via the smtp server from my isp. [15:08] Small question, I'm able to extract zip files by opening them with file-roller, but is there a way to assign them in contextual menu, like other archive types? [15:08] Does anyone know if there's a difference between putting ntfs or ntfs-2g as the FS type in fstab? [15:08] Rageon, have you met with it? [15:08] no idea mate, still learning myself.. never heard of that before :O be interested to hear how u solved it... sounds like ure keyboard to me tho.. [15:08] solve* [15:08] :) [15:09] josh04, different drivers used .. better you use ntfs-3g [15:09] MAIL FROM command failed: Syntax error in parameters or arguments -- what does that mean. where do i troubleshoot. [15:09] but i try lend a hand to anyone learning like myself for stuff ive spent hours in here over to save some time, sorry can't help ya champ :( [15:09] hello, having a problem mounting windows network shares [15:09] unop: thanks. I knew ntfs-3g was better, but it put ntfs by default so I was confused :P thanks [15:09] hi sorry this might be the wrong place but any power pc ubuntu people here? [15:10] i'm running a live disk of 6.06 but before i install i have noticed you can get 7.04 and 7.10 [15:10] hello, having a problem mounting windows network shares. I have had this working in the past, however on a system reboot it has now came up with a permissions error. my fstab file is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61751 [15:10] jake2point0: evolution has it's own IRC channel on a different server, you could try there, but I'd look at the FAQ, it's very helpful. Sounds like a net/firewall problem tho [15:10] but the ubuntu home page says it only supports 6.06 [15:11] !ppc | eoin09 [15:11] eoin09: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [15:12] is it possible to suspend a process and resume it later, possibly over a reboot? [15:13] unop: It looks like that dbus trick fixed my problem! [15:13] hmmm that FAQ isnt much use i am afraid [15:13] fiXXXerMet, that's good to know :) [15:13] eoin09: what is your question? [15:13] Can anyone link me to some tutorials/guides for making source tarball's from apps using autogen, and then making a debian binary package from that? [15:13] i know that ubuntu officially supports 6.06 for PPC, but i can find images on their site for 7.04/10 [15:13] !motu | sharperguy [15:13] sharperguy: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [15:14] hischild: wouldn't think so [15:14] are these as stable? [15:14] sharperguy: see the documentation there [15:14] hello, having a problem mounting windows network shares. I have had this working in the past, however on a system reboot it has now came up with a permissions error. my fstab file is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61751 [15:14] jrib, I think I've looked there but I need a way to build a tarball from my app first [15:14] LjL, alright, guess i'm stuck having to do my conversion during the night then. [15:14] hischild: can't you use hibernation? [15:15] hello all. i need serious help with my video drivers. I changed resolution last night and could not get it to go back to the 1280x800 res i am used to. i reinstalled the nvidia restricted driver and now i cant get the ubuntu screens and graphics manager to use the nvidia driver. it defaults to vesa. i am utterly lost and my xorg looks correct- it points to the nvidia driver but the S+G manager will only use the vesa driver... i ha [15:15] ve scoured forums and google and come up empty handed. PLEASE someone help me. [15:15] basically i am confused by the fact that the ubuntu homepage makes no mention of version 7 compatability and yet it is still available, and even on their servers [15:15] sharperguy: oh, you want to learn to use the autotools stuff? [15:16] is there something wrong with the 7 releases? [15:16] LjL, what i was looking for, was a way to temporary suspend the conversion from dvd to avi. Sometimes it just uses to much power or i need the cpu power for something else, and sometimes i would like to hybernate. However, hybernation doesn't always come back on hardy i'm afraid :( [15:16] sirjoebob: just to make sure the drivers are actually installed, what does « apt-cache policy nvidia-glx | grep Inst » say? [15:16] jrib, Well I wrote the app in anjuta so it already used autoconf etc [15:16] sharperguy: so I'm not sure what you want to know [15:16] hischild: hibernation doesn't always come back in general. but you *can* suspend the conversion when you need CPU power, just not over a reboot [15:17] sirjoebob@WINXP:~$ apt-cache policy nvidia-glx | grep Inst [15:17] Installed: (none) [15:17] sharperguy: a tarball is just what you get when you use tar to group all your files together into one file [15:17] sirjoebob: « apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-new | grep Inst » ? [15:17] LjL, how can you suspend it then? and i'm going to assume there is no fix for that? [15:18] LjL, Installed: 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10 [15:18] eoin09: for ppc, it is community supported, not supported by canonical [15:18] my keyboards autorepeat is off [15:18] jrib, oh, ok [15:18] !who | eoin09 [15:18] how can i switch it on agian? [15:18] eoin09: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:18] hey [15:18] hischild: for hibernation? who knows, i've given up on it. to suspend a process, send it a SIGSTOP, and then a SIGCONT to resume it [15:18] when hardy will be full..? [15:18] april 19 [15:19] april 28 i think [15:19] jrib, Well I'll look at the motu documentation to see about building a binary package from that then, thanks [15:19] LjL, this might sound noobish, but how to send it a signal? [15:19] late april [15:19] late april..? [15:19] hischild, man kill :) [15:19] 24 days to go [15:19] hischild: kill -SIGwhatever process-number [15:19] so, 24th april [15:19] sharperguy: no problem, #ubuntu-motu is helpful if you get stuck on building a package too [15:19] so i can book for the CD from now right? [15:19] check the website [15:19] jrib, ok cheers [15:19] unop, i didn't even know what program to use for it :P besides, ljl is very helpful today ;-) [15:19] LjL, thanks [15:19] Is it possible to have two instances of a web browser open with each one surfing from a different IP address (so that they appear to be running on different computers)? [15:19] how come autorepeat of my keyboard automatically switched off? [15:20] hischild: besides, you can always do « renice 10 process-number » to tell the system that you want to give that process a pretty low priority, so that anything else you're doing takes precedence [15:20] i mean i go to sleep, i get up and no repeat anymore [15:20] anyone able to help on permissions for windows mounts? [15:20] use two different kind of web browser with 2 different kind of setting creationist [15:20] Ward1983: did you check in System>Preferences>Keyboard there is a box to check for repeat [15:20] !jrib are the community supported, newer versions of ubuntu for ppc as stable as the older, officially supported 6.06 edition? [15:20] LjL, i see. that has to be done using the nice command i assume? [15:20] legend2440, thanx i will check now [15:21] hischild: no, renice [15:21] hischild, man renice :) [15:21] anyone know if ubuntu server streams to xbmc well? [15:21] hischild: nice is used when you start a program, renice can be used to change the priority *after* you've started it [15:21] LjL, unop, thanks :-) [15:21] eoin09: I've never used them [15:21] legend2440, it was on, but i switched it on and off and all was fine [15:21] Ward1983, autorepeat is a "global setting": if an app disables auto-repeat, all the apps get that behaviour... Games sometimes do that and restore the setting but if the game dies.... [15:21] if i install the 8.04 beta now, when it hits final can i upgrade to the final release just by hitting upgrade in synaptic? [15:21] biotrox, but how do I make one of them appear to come from a different ip address? [15:21] LjL, do you have any suggestions or is there anything I can try? [15:21] eoin09: feel free to ask the channel though, there's probably someone here who has [15:21] guillem101, then i suspect x11vnc lol [15:22] only none standard thing i did last night [15:22] Ward1983, hmm a good candidate, yes [15:22] just buil a ssh tunneling to an ssh server in another machine [15:22] LjL, right i see. I still have some windows things in the back of my head i'm afraid ... ubuntu is think logical [15:22] jrib: in any your experience have you found unofficial derivatives of OS's to be generally ok? [15:22] guillem101, thanx for the explanation [15:22] I'm having trouble accessing other computers on my network. I used to be able to access them, and now I can't. Any idea why I might not be able to anymore? [15:22] so one browser use proxy another browser use direct connect [15:22] Ward1983, i saw it in a programming book (GTK 1.2 era) [15:22] hello [15:22] look at my blog for ssh tunneling [15:22] http://biotrox.blogspot.com [15:22] sirjoebob: there was, i recall, a problem when one installed nvidia-glx and then later nvidia-glx-new and then went back to the other, or vice versa... with a file being left that shouldn't be there. someone else may recall better though [15:23] LjL, sirjoebob yes, let me dig my files... [15:23] anyone able to help on permissions for windows mounts? === iowahc_ is now known as iowahc [15:23] my resolution is very low after I plugged in a second monitor on my laptop and now I cant raise the resolution. It only gives me low options. Can someone help me? [15:23] guillem101, alright. i can wait as long as needed. i have spent about 8 hrs on this. lol [15:24] sirjoebob, /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed [15:24] fevel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver [15:24] sirjoebob, this file is wrongly left when you uninstall .nvidia-glx-new; just remove it [15:25] we live? [15:25] sirjoebob, simmilar file when what you uninstall is nvidia-glx [15:25] there's some title bar issues in 8.04 with visual effects set to normal on a geforce 8800gt card [15:25] eoin09: it really varies with each project. If I were in your shoes, I would go with the most recent release. If you see it is not what you want, then fall back to dapper. You still have a team of people working on the project, it's just not official. If you want recent versions of software, then I would definitely go with 7.10 [15:25] sirjoebob, just do a "ls -al" at /lib/linux-restricted-modules [15:26] unop: Nevermind.... "root@tvivrt01:/usr/src# dig mx fixertec.net" "Bus error" [15:26] it says xorg-xserver isnt installed [15:26] guillem101, i removed that file you told me to and now all the ls shows is 2.6.22-14-generic [15:26] fevel, use xserver-xorg [15:26] eoin09: seems there is a #ubuntu-powerpc channel on freenode you can try as well [15:26] hischild, how? [15:27] jrib: thanks for all your help, much appreciated [15:27] Hi there [15:27] fevel, instead of dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:27] is there a keyboard shortcut to switch to the alternative desktop? [15:27] guillem101, what do i need to do now? [15:27] sirjoebob, but, but, you have nvidia-glx-new installed or nvidia-glx installed? [15:28] sirjoebob, right now, I mean [15:28] guillem101, i am not sure. let me check [15:29] sirjoebob, you shouldn't have removed the file if you were unsure.... we will have to restore the right behaviour depending on your current state [15:29] anyone able to help on permissions for windows mounts? [15:30] shortcut to switch to alternative desktop?

I have had this working in the past, however on a system reboot it has now came up with a permissions error. my fstab file is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61751 [15:31] bazhang: when I spin the scroll wheel i can be on analternate desktop screen. I m in class so id like to be able to do that via keyboard [15:31] wenas [15:31] sirjoebob, in that case you need such that file. Create an empty one or reinstall the nvidia-glx-new package. [15:31] mechanicalchri1: you mean in compiz? control alt left does not do it? [15:32] Hey! I'm trying to get Numlock to default to ON at system startup. Following this guide here at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Enabling_NUM_LOCK_at_boot... I install "numlockx" but when i'm gonna edit "/etc/gdm/Init/Default" there is no such file or directory.. Did anything change? like they moved it to another dir or something *confused* [15:32] Can some one please help me figure out why I always have high CPU wait times.

Info @ http://pastebin.ca/964736 [15:33] sirjoebob, check the file exists... [15:33] when I run top, I usually have wa values in the 80% range [15:33] bazhang: thanks dude. ur crazy. u were on helping me with my screen before i went to bed 7 hours ago [15:33] frozenskunk: becouse on modern computers (for a long time) the cpu spent much of his time iddle waiting for i/o events to complete [15:33] computer runs slow (as would expect) [15:33] guillem101, this is what the ls -a shows there 2.6.22-14-generic .nvidia_new_installed [15:34] bazhang: when i manually add the share it works fine, can't find where the issue is in the fstab though! [15:34] right, but mine seems to always be waiting, constantly accessing the hard drive, rrunning quite slowly as aresult [15:34] frozenskunk; in top you should be seeing what is taking up so much of your CPU [15:34] frozenskunk: oops sorry i confused iddle with waiting... :| [15:34] the process cpu %'s are relativly low (maybe 10-20% typically) but wait will be constantly high [15:34] bazhang: when i manually add the share it works fine, can't find where the issue is in the fstab though! [15:35] sirjoebob, in that case, you are not facing the file-left issue LjL was suggesting [15:35] Hi, i have a question.. Does anyone uses hardy on a laptop here? Because do any of you laptop users know how to fix the battery indicator? [15:35] bazhang: sorry for double post, wrong button! [15:35] osteenbergen, what do you mean? the indicator works just fine [15:35] osteenbergen: please /j #ubuntu+1 thanks [15:35] osteenbergen, join the hardy channel, we'll discuss there [15:35] okee [15:35] sirjoebob, your problem was that the resolution was not OK?

[15:37] jpatrick: i killed it, of course [15:37] umm.. I made a .font folder on desktop, and it vanished :s [15:38] ghandi: . makes it hidden ;) [15:38] guillem101, that is what it gives under the screens and graphics manager and will not allow the nvidia driver to work- it wont let me set any resolution. [15:38] gandhi; directories made with a . in from of them means hidden [15:38] how to "unhide" it [15:38] ls -a [15:38] gandhi, in nautilus, hit ctrl h [15:38] eie [15:38] can't update it online..? [15:39] ubotu.. where r you.. miss u like crazy.. [15:39] :P [15:39] can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo which is supported under gutsy? [15:39] sirjoebob, I'm and old-school: paste your xorg.conf file at pastebin or else... [15:39] an [15:39] sometimes when i call a terminal it takes like 10 seconds for it to load? [15:39] mouse just use cordless logitech vseries [15:39] keyboard don't have any idea [15:39] !test [15:40] biotrox, i need a combo not seperate items [15:40] owh... [15:40] biotrox, must be bluetooth [15:40] don't know then [15:40] !hcl [15:40] nixnoob, why the need for bluetooth? [15:40] ya [15:40] bazhang, it's still dead :( [15:40] ;[ [15:40] why bluetooth..? [15:40] guillem101, this will be noobish.... how do i use pastebin? [15:40] I'm getting "Bus error"s on my system... Did a gdb and it looks like the problem is with /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Pastebin @ http://pastebin.ca/964736. Any ideas? [15:41] hischild, because i need it to be wireless and i have built in bluetooth on the lappy so i dont need any external connector/reciever [15:42] !paste | sirjoebob [15:42] jussio1: ubotu = dead [15:42] hi im having problems deleting file on my PSP in ubuntu 7.10 whenever i delete some files it just creates a folder caller .Trash001 then move the deleted files there. [15:42] aye [15:42] sirjoebob, for instance, goto http://pastebin.com/, paste the file there and you'll get a ticket that you show me here [15:42] or install pastebinit [15:43] gah [15:43] nixnoob ya i get it u need wireless but why bluetooth? [15:43] ai3gtmc; you could browse it in a terminal then rm -f file .. i do this to my PSP [15:43] is the code to change nickname "/nick " ? [15:43] biotrox, again its because the lappy has it built in and there is no need to waste a usb port for some ugly external reciever [15:43] there's horizontal tering in videos played in totem when compiz is enabled [15:43] tearing [15:43] bastid_raZor, did that but the same thing happens [15:44] guillem101, http://pastebin.com/d2d079211 [15:44] owh.. [15:44] mechanicalchri1, yes [15:44] bastid_raZor, i always have to delete it in pspfiler [15:44] you want to spare the usb port for else thing [15:44] :P [15:44] ai3gtmc; odd.. i move music and movies almost daily on my psp with no issues [15:45] biotrox, yes that and the external reciever is ugly and this will be a htpc [15:45] Dear All, just wondering can i install Smoothwall version 3 on a ubuntu system ? [15:45] Hi. My computer went mute. Doing '/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' doesn't seem to work, and there must be a more elegant way to solve this problem than to reboot. Any ideas? Thanks. [15:45] bdmm: thanks [15:46] QKC, isn't smoothwall it's own distro? [15:46] bdmm, i do not know that as is still new [15:46] so wanted try out [15:47] therefore is here to ask [15:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> hi there... anyone that knows how i can change the modulation on my wlan to 11b (or auto), i can't get iwconfig wlan0 modu 11b to work [15:47] !bot [15:47] guillem101, the only problem is that ubuntu keeps overwriting my xorg. [15:47] QKC, I don't personally know Smoothwall, but I know its sister project IPcop should be installed on a bare machine [15:47] 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 [15:48] bdmm, thanks [15:48] sirjoebob, but it modifies that xorg.conf??? [15:49] guillem101, yea. the screens and graphics manager does and i cant change anything without going into it [15:49] sirjoebob, because you may experiencing a foolish issue: you may have changed the resolution via preferences->Resolution [15:49] whats the command to show processes? [15:50] Greetings, I have a question regarding bootloaders. I have 2 physical hard drives, one for windows, one for trying out linux distros. The windows drive has two primary partitions, the other HDD has 4 primary partitions. Question is do I need to use LILO or GRUB if I have windows and linux on two separate drives? I imagine I would need Grub on the Linux drive to choose which distro to boot into. [15:50] guillem101, Resolution only gives me 640x480 and 800x600 b.c of the driver hell i am having [15:50] erUSUL: sorry for delay, it is a serial modem [15:50] sirjoebob, gutsy? [15:51] guillem101, yup [15:52] RsjH: then you do not need any drivers or anythin just acces it through the serial port dev file /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 etc.. [15:52] hischild, it is working fine from gutsy live, [15:53] sirjoebob, hmmm. Backup the xorg.conf file you have shown me, logout, go to console (ctrl+f1), login at console, disable gdm via "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", check the xorg.conf and use the backup if something has changed it to the vesa version, and try "startx" to see if it starts correctly the nvidia server... [15:53] damn wrong room [15:53] sry [15:53] :P [15:53] osteenbergen, then i'm at a loss as to why ... [15:53] everybody.. ciao.. [15:53] guillem101, will try and report back if i still have issues. thanks for your help [15:53] sirjoebob, I'll be right here for a while... [15:54] whats the command for showing processes?

I need to flash the bios & cant get to a system without it. want it to be upgraded because I'm scared of the bios flash... :/ [15:55] hell all. I'm having problems with slapd starting up on reboot. I can'tlog into the server after a reboot unless I go to recovery mode, then /etc/init.d/slapd restart. Then exit recovery mode. everything is fine then. what could be the problem? [15:57] LjL, that worked, but i cant use any commands at the current screen [15:57] jaffarkelshac: what do you mean can't use any commands? [15:57] Anyone know how to relabel a partition?

[16:03] jaffarkelshac: did you try the "restricted drivers manager" to install the nvidia driver? [16:03] jaffarkelshac: it's easier than doing it manually [16:03] whats the name of the package [16:03] name of what package? [16:04] the restricted drivers manager [16:04] jaffarkelshac: It comes standard with Ubuntu. Just go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager menu. [16:04] ok - another q. will the i386 install to an AMD64 machine? [16:05] amorphous: yes [16:05] i should say i am using hardy [16:05] amorphous: But, you won't be using any CPU features newer than what came with the i386 processor. [16:05] guillem101, can you resend me your last message. i tried to copy it into a file and lost it... lol...i am sorry for being such a pain [16:05] jaffarkelshac: Is that menu item gone from hardy? I haven't tried hardy yet. [16:05] I have installed Hardy Heron, what the best option for running Gutsy? [16:05] Quemu? === levander` is now known as levander [16:06] its not there [16:06] sirjoebob, hmmm. Backup the xorg.conf file you have shown me, logout, go to console (ctrl+f1), login at console, disable gdm via "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", check the xorg.conf and use the backup if something has changed it to the vesa version, and try "startx" to see if it starts correctly the nvidia server...

[16:07] levander, they did add, hardware drivers. [16:07] <^NighT^WalkeR^> yes [16:07] jaffarkelshac: Try that one. [16:07] <^NighT^WalkeR^> but it wont chage [16:07] <^NighT^WalkeR^> change* [16:07] amorphous: Ubuntu typically uses grub as a boot manager, not lilo. Just use grub unless you have a specific reason. [16:07] <^NighT^WalkeR^> i tried iwconfig wlan0 modulation 11b (and auto) [16:08] How to can i Enable my OP in chanserv ? [16:08] amorphous: I usually research whatever hardware I'm buying to make sure it runs with Linux before I purchase it. That said, in vast majority of cases (except things like WiFi cards) the stuff does work. [16:08] its wokring now [16:08] MohammadBoozary: I think you have to be given permissions to be a channel operator by someone who can give it to you. [16:09] jaffarkelshac: You got the nvidia driver to work? [16:09] MohammadBoozary: ask in #freenode if you have questions about using the network or about chanserv. [16:10] levander, yeah... i did try, but it was a whole ago. Dell optiplex systems have a bios bug. they won't run grub :(... they also sieze up if the usb is plugged into a KVM switch... and i cant flash the bios 'cause i dont have an up to date system :((( === Shoaibi_ is now known as ^root^ [16:11] Has anyone seen what this medibuntu thing is all about?

[16:30] genii, I saw that... its not a requirement. Its the version they support. I don't see why it wouldn't execute on a newer version. Maybe so... =\ [16:31] Invisionfree, that would be a problem, yes [16:31] genii, That does mean that I can't go to them for support... [16:31] am getting the message "software index is broken" in updates how do i fix this any one help? [16:31] bdmm: How can I check if the .ISO is corrupt? [16:31] lnxnwbe, clear the apt cache [16:32] bdmm:how? [16:32] Invisionfree, the installer should have a media verification check === lmr is now known as lmr[lunch] [16:32] Check CD-ROM integrity?

I have on physical disk with windows and another one for linux. I created 4 primary parts on the linux disk but ubuntu only sees the windows part on the first disk and the first three partitions on the other hdd [16:42] Invisionfree: The MD5SUM of the CD matches that off the Ubuntu website? [16:42] Pici: Yes. [16:42] Invisionfree: What version of Ubuntu? [16:42] 7.10 server is what I'm installing, I'm on 7.10 desktop right now [16:42] |Dede|: what happens if you run ./services as a normal user? [16:42] Meatgrinder: I could be wrong but I thought it was 3 primary partitions per HD [16:43] TheFool, it's 4 primary, one of which can be extended.

[16:43] |Dede|, CHMOD services.log? [16:43] |Dede|: run it with sudo then. [16:43] How can I change my kernel from -server to -generic? [16:43] |Dede|: where is services.log? [16:44] Yazan-, generally, if it doesn't work on the livecd, it won't work with a full install. [16:44] hischild: thats explains it I am not thinking that the extended partition where I have all my other stuff is a primary partition in and of itself [16:44] wait wait... so you can't launch it with OR without sudo? [16:44] Invisionfree: I'd make sure that the cd is clean, perhaps try burning at a slower speed.

[16:49] |Dede|: where *username* is your username [16:49] Meatgrinder, is there data on the partitions? if not, may i suggest you recreate it so that the last partitions are in an extended one? [16:49] I shit it down DRebellion, now? [16:49] hischild: nope, no data on it yet, i'm doing this from live cd. If I make last one extended than ubuntu should see it? Guess it's worth a try!

[17:19] <|Dede|> okay I do now know why, but the chown command does not do what it should! all the files in /logs/ are root [17:19] err wait the hdd that I meed to fix isnt] [17:19] <|Dede|> (2 files) [17:19] <|Dede|> although I ran chown unreal:unreal * [17:19] zcat[1]: if you do chown natbet:natbet -R /home/natbet/testing/.* that will only go back on level right?

Still being supported alongside? [17:21] <|Dede|> user = group? [17:21] |Dede|: you might want to look in the logrotate config, it defines ownership and permission of the new logfiles after it rotates the old ones [17:22] |Dede|, for your case -- you could use chown $USER:$USER .. [17:22] is there like a test versioin after gibbon out? [17:22] artfullylost: sure, just like 6.10 is still supported for another month [17:22] !hardy | sileni [17:22] sileni: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [17:22] artfullylost: 6.06 will be supported until it hits EOL. You will be able to upgrade right from Dapper to Hardy though, no need to go through the other versions. [17:22] thank you unop appreciate it [17:22] Pici: you can?!! [17:23] zcat[1], yes, LTS to LTS [17:23] zcat[1]: yes. [17:23] cool! [17:23] that is awesome [17:23] That I didn't know.. [17:23] I am using lm-sensors an when i type sensors i get more than one temperature for the cpu. Which one is the correct one? [17:24] <|Dede|> omg... i tried to do "chown" for each file now [17:24] <|Dede|> but there's still "root" when doin ls -l [17:24] I have some dapper installs around the place, I was expecting a 6-step upgrade :) [17:24] I switched to gnome [17:24] and noticed [17:24] anyone kno of a firefox3 deb for gutsy?

[17:25] <|Dede|> that's pretty much beating me up... ubuntu just does not do what it is supposed to [17:25] |Dede|, you aren't chownng right [17:25] DRebellion, will it overwrite all the old stuff? i dont have to uninstall my current firefox? [17:25] anybody know how to compile a c++ using ncurses? [17:25] i think I have a copy of 4.* somewhere.

[17:26] |Dede|, just do - chown -R $USER:$USER /directory # replace $USER as necessary [17:26] DRebellion, just a binary? [17:26] #timisoara [17:26] nixnoob, yeh, and some extra files it needs [17:26] <|Dede|> no sudo? [17:26] DRebellion, sweet thanks [17:26] hardy heron is just gusty + more so it would be good for me to try it out ? [17:26] hmmm [17:26] http://pastebin.com/m4dce9add [17:26] can anyone check this statement for me ? [17:26] i cant find the error [17:27] sileni, depends how confident you are with fixing it when it goes wrong [17:27] |Dede|: sudo chown -R user:group /directory -- no /* [17:27] sileni: I suggest waiting until it is released if you aren't sure. [17:27] ok thank you pici [17:27] umm wrong channel sorry [17:27] and Dragnslcr thanks [17:27] DRebellion, what dir am i dumping this in?

[17:28] DRebellion, or /usr/lib/firefox [17:28] <|Dede|> well wanna see ls -l? [17:28] sileni, perhaps ask in ##windows [17:28] |Dede|: is the directory 'logs' in the current directory, or actually /logs off the root directory? [17:28] rebooting time and again trying all these accounts is getting difficult & i have no graphics using chrot :( [17:28] Does anyone know anything about ncurses? [17:28] |Dede|: Are you sure that the name of the directory is /logs ? Thats a bit weird.

[17:29] Hi [17:29] DRebellion, yea but all the automatic stuff like links in IRC for instance will go thru the old binary [17:29] an sql statement was wrong , and pasted here in wrong channel ^_^ [17:29] Hello everyone [17:29] Could you give me the location of ubuntu-fr? [17:29] nixnoob, *shrug* [17:29] stromber1, you need the libncurses-dev package for the ncurses headers [17:29] Bya: /join #ubuntu-fr [17:30] thank you =) [17:30] thanks unop [17:30] can someone please tell me the command for package manager in gnome [17:30] how can i remote desktop into my hardy box from a work windowsxp box?

[17:31] DanglyBits, use tsclient [17:31] |Dede|: yes [17:31] come on gents... pretty please - someone must know the command for adding a root capable user.... [17:31] hey all [17:31] amorphous: add a user and stick them in the admin group. [17:31] <|Dede|> they remain marked as "root" [17:31] amorphous: edit /etc/group, add then to the sys group iirc.. [17:31] <|Dede|> omg.. [17:31] does hardy run a server that I need to start or load before I use remote in? [17:31] amorphous, whats the first step you are having problems with? the chroot or adding users? [17:31] <|Dede|> Why isn't ubuntu doing it...? [17:31] |Dede|: [17:32] i have a quick question [17:32] |Dede|: What is the *exact* command that you are writing? [17:32] !hardy | DanglyBits [17:32] DanglyBits: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.

[17:32] szabiakanich: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [17:32] |Dede|: user and group 'unreal' exists? [17:32] amorphous, what command did you use to add the users? [17:33] Pici, ok - i'll give it a go... thanks.. [17:33] <|Dede|> i am logged in as unreal [17:33] |Dede|: And logs is a directory in ~/ircservices/ ? [17:33] <|Dede|> with the terminal [17:33] <|Dede|> at least [17:33] <|Dede|> yes it is [17:33] unop, adduser --system username [17:33] szabiakanich: xmms has been dropped from a lot of repos for various reasons [17:33] unop, then passwd username [17:33] <|Dede|> unreal@langley:~/ircservices$ ls -l logs [17:33] <|Dede|> total 20 [17:33] <|Dede|> -rw------- 1 root root 12439 2008-03-30 23:26 services.log.20080330 [17:33] <|Dede|> -rw------- 1 root root 3022 2008-03-31 17:52 services.log.20080331 [17:33] |Dede|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:33] unop, that right? [17:34] Hello, I have a question about Edubuntu but nobody is answering it at #edubuntu. It seems like there is nobody at that channel. Can I ask it here? [17:34] <|Dede|> is the group always the same as the username? [17:34] |Dede|: it doesn't have to be [17:34] <|Dede|> because "unreal" is not the onyl user on this box [17:34] <|Dede|> well maybe the group is wrong? [17:34] Muhammad_Saad: sure, have at it [17:34] What is the difference between Edu, Ku, and Ubuntu? [17:34] |Dede|: No, the default user's group is the same as the user. [17:34] |Dede|: try changing just the owner: sudo chown -R unreal logs [17:34] amorphous, system users are not placed in groups (or rather they are placed in the nogroup group) and thats not what you need if you need the user to be able to logon [17:35] <|Dede|> nothing.. [17:35] <|Dede|> root root [17:35] amorphous, might i suggest you create a normal user? [17:35] nothing [17:35] <|Dede|> something is pretty wrong here [17:35] Invisionfree ubuntu uses GNOME kubuntu uses KDE and edubuntu is for kids [17:35] How is Edubuntu for kids? [17:35] I am a student [17:35] Edubuntu is for teachers! [17:35] I had requested Edubuntu CDs from the free shipping service. But after I have installed it, I cannot see any educational application installed. What is the reason? [17:35] Invisionfree: well the web pages would spell that out quite clearly... Edu is packed with stuff for education Ku uses KDE and Ubuntu uses gnome and is what the rest are based on [17:35] unop, that right? --- what's the best group to put them in --- i have a normal user - but no admin rights :( [17:36] HAHA, Y E S YES YES. My CD-ROM WORKS. [17:36] amorphous, create a user who is a member of the admin group [17:36] amorphous, see the adduser and useradd manpages [17:36] Muhammad_Saad: well, what sort of things were you expecting to find? perhaps the default install doesn't include what you were looking for [17:36] How do I access the files on my windows partition? [17:36] unop, i've been confusing myself with them for ages :/ [17:36] <|Dede|> i guess you, too, dont know what to do now :( it's still refusing the chown [17:36] I mean, aside from booting into it. [17:36] You can install education apps through synaptics package manger on all ubuntu distros [17:36] unop, getting there though... it's the admin [17:37] Invisionfree it has the gcompris package [17:37] group, y? [17:37] <|Dede|> any way I can see "why" it does not run the chown properly? [17:37] |Dede|: Is services currently running? [17:37] brian_: so if edubuntu doesn't include educational software by default, what's the point of it? [17:37] is it possible to use nautilus to open up just one specific folder without opening up a full desktop? I'm attempting to do this on fluxbox. [17:37] |Dede|, add the -v option to chown, it should spit out some extra info [17:37] sipior: I looked for gperiodic, tuxpaint and some other packages about which I had once read that they are included in Edubuntu. [17:37] hischild, use the --no-desktop option [17:38] <|Dede|> Pici, it was, but before I did all the chown command (musta been like 20 :S) I killed the process [17:38] hischild, man nautilus :) [17:38] hello [17:38] hi [17:39] i am trying to make my ubuntu a gateway for a small network, tried reading docs and i would really, *really* need a hand. Anyone ? [17:39] Muhammad_Saad: you could just try "sudo apt-get install gperiodic tuxpaint" and that should fetch them [17:39] unop: tried it and then it just doesn't do anything [17:39] |Dede|, sudo chown -Rv unreal:unreal unrealdirectory # make sure you have the right directory there, full path name -- if that still doesnt work, use the pastebin and show us what you have -- do not paste in here [17:39] i was hoping someone could help me with wolfenstein enemy territory [17:39] sipior: I was just wondering why they are not included on CD. [17:39] hischild, errm, nautilus --no-desktop /path/to/dir/ # works a charm here [17:39] unop: odd ... [17:39] Muhammad_Saad: they may in fact be there, but are simply not installed by default [17:39] unop: i'll try to see why it is refusing here then [17:39] anyone ? [17:40] hischild, maybe add --browser too .. nautilus --browser --no-desktop /path/ [17:40] anyone for wolfenstein help? [17:40] <|Dede|> no extra info coming up? omg... my box musta been ****** up [17:40] Hi all. Can anyone help me with some LTSP problems [17:40] are there files or dirs, which a normal user (without sudo and co) even cant see ? [17:40] sipior: I also searched the CD but could not find them. [17:40] unop: alright, let me try it [17:40] <|Dede|> it executes without telling me anything [17:40] |Dede|, i suspect you arent using the right path here [17:40] * sipior shrugs [17:40] |Dede|, infact i'll bet on it :) [17:41] <|Dede|> /home/unreal/ircservices/logs <- im currently in that folder with my file browser [17:41] <|Dede|> it's there [17:41] Anyone can provide a girl with a little help over here ? [17:41] <|Dede|> unreal@langley:~/ircservices$ sudo chown -Rv unreal:unreal /home/unreal/ircservices/logs [17:41] |Dede|: is 'logs' a directory, or a link to some other place? [17:41] i cannot seem to load any levels on enemy territory does not download updates before map [17:41] (18:40:24) KEBA: are there files or dirs, which a normal user (without sudo and co) even cant see ? [17:42] |Dede|, what does ls -ld logs say? [17:42] * Cezara looks for a geek to provide a hand for a girl.. [17:42] Cezara, ask a question to the room :) [17:42] <|Dede|> drwxr-xr-x 2 unreal unreal 4096 2008-03-31 17:40 logs [17:42] hi there! does anyone knows how to import mails from entourage to thunderbird? [17:42] Cezara: don't believe you.. girls don't run linux! [17:42] unop, i did, a little bit earlier. I [17:42] ack* [17:42] unop: thing i found a problem which is why it doesn't do anything ... it just won't do anything, even without options at all [17:42] <|Dede|> while the files IN the folder are still root root [17:43] zcat[1]: That kind of attitude is not welcome here. [17:43] zcat[1], hush! Thats crap - we do [17:43] i'm noob at ubuntu :) i had a question, i have been typed sudo apt-get install azereus, and then : "e:Couldn't find packages azerus". whats the problem ? [17:43] unop, i've tried all sorts, but it still tells me the account has been disabled by admin - am i missing something? [17:43] sorry.. :) [17:43] xalewcik: typo? [17:43] unop, i am trying to make my ubuntu as a gateway for my computers..i am unable to... [17:43] amorphous, remove the user and recreate it -- make sure you passwd it afterwards [17:43] <|Dede|> *azureus? [17:43] xalewcik: May be you have not activated the repository. [17:44] Cezara: easiest way is install firestarter and choose 'share my connection' [17:44] <|Dede|> - not azereus [17:44] Hi [17:44] i will try that ;) [17:44] |Dede|: If you dont *need* those log files, I suggest deleting them and letting the file get re-created when you run the services program again. [17:44] Does anyone know how I can change the position where subtitles are displayed in VLC? [17:44] zcat[1], actually the ISP provided me with some IPs and i am trying to use them... [17:44] unop, Pici have added users to admin, and to root, but no joy... [17:44] Cezara: routing. Yay! Count me out.. :) [17:45] Hi all - I have a prob with LTPS and mixed architectures (I think!). Does anyone have any knowledge on that? [17:45] amorphous: Were the users logged in when you added them to the group/? [17:45] MattyOv: you mean LTSP? [17:45] sipior - ah yeah I do :) [17:46] unop - i've done that - and created new users. the passwordsd seem accepted - but the 'disabled account' error comes in still. no users logged in. chroot from live disk. [17:46] MattyOv: good, i was worried i had another acronym to remember :-) [17:46] |Dede|, ok, one last try, try this command. find logs/ -exec sudo chown unreal:unreal {} \; [17:46] im thinking of doing a dual boot setup with ubuntu on my laptop.. [17:46] is there any way the two partitions can see each other? [17:46] * Cezara frowns [17:46] amorphous, where are you using this user now? within the live CD session? [17:46] so i can keep files on one, ubuntu on the other? [17:46] <|Dede|> with ;? [17:47] im running XP now, i want to do a dual boot setup with ubuntu [17:47] i am unable to type 'g' character if i enable desktop effects [17:47] unop: I'm starting to think some clever person has replaced 'chown' with 'true' on that box.. [17:47] what may b d problem? [17:47] i am trying to install compiz fusion but there is a lot of packages which should i install [17:47] |Dede|, copy and paste that command out [17:47] plz help me out [17:47] Serveck, perhaps a fat partition? [17:47] i have been tiped "AzEreus" :)))) [17:47] i cant change the file format after its been installed [17:47] Serveck, but then you hit the 4gb file size limit [17:47] cnu_; #compiz-fusion would be the best place for desktop effects help [17:47] * artfullylost_ stabs gedit. [17:47] Serveck: in principle that can be done, but ntfs write support is still somewhat dodgy under linux, i understand [17:47] im thinking setting ubuntu to a 8gb partition, [17:47] |Dede|, actually. find logs/ -exec sudo chown -v unreal:unreal {} \; [17:48] i am running linux on ntfs format on my desktop now [17:48] but they are separate hard drives [17:48] |dede| where r u from ?

[17:48] <|Dede|> find: sudo terminated by signal 13 [17:48] hmm.. ill check the forums [17:49] zcat[1], well, if that were the case he'd get many "operation not permitted" errors [17:49] |Dede|: Do you need those logs? [17:49] MattyOv: Use the dhcp server conf to set specific IP for specific computer. Then in the tftpboot part, load whatever platform-dependent version you need based on the IP [17:49] no - the live session is default. the user(s) ive tried to add are marsh, marshcast, m, etc.... but they're all claiming they've been disabled by admin..:/ if i try to su whilst in chroot they seem to exist - but then i'm root, so don't know if that's a valid test... [17:49] <|Dede|> No but when I delete them, the next file would be services.conf [17:49] <|Dede|> with the same problem [17:49] livedisk bootup again now.... [17:49] bastid_raZor:whats d network mirror for compiz? [17:49] unop: true.. I'd go with the "ln -s /bin/true /bin/chmod" theory..

[17:52] hola pici [17:52] ke os contais [17:52] draga: /join #ubuntu-es [17:52] Hello :) Can anyone tell me how to Launch OpenTTD after I installed it? [17:52] genii - do you have any pointers? [17:52] Lainy, did you install irssi from source? [17:52] Lainy: How did you install irssi? [17:52] unop: Yes [17:52] <|Dede|> running from one to the next prob, eh? [17:52] hablais alguno español === elmargol_ is now known as elmargol [17:52] Lainy, do you still have the source folder? [17:52] draga: escribe /join #ubuntu-es [17:53] <|Dede|> unop, got any idea why I cannot open nautilus [17:53] Lainy, err, directory** [17:53] draga: espanol se habla en #ubuntu-es [17:53] what could cause nautilus to stop working, unless called by gksudo? [17:53] eax: from the games menu... but it won't run if you haven't installed all the assets as well [17:53] <|Dede|> ? [17:53] Pici: ./configure -> make -> su -> make install [17:53] unop: I don't remember deleting it. [17:53] Lainy, you must install packages with *.deb files, source installing "by hands" can make damage to your system. [17:53] |Dede|, your box is behaving bad -- reboot and see if that helps [17:53] LjL: you scared him off [17:53] unop: Is the source folder the tar I untarred? [17:53] <|Dede|> yup. [17:53] Lainy, yes [17:53] <|Dede|> brb [17:53] zcat[1]: Well I can't see it :( Assets? The original files from TTD? [17:53] MattyOv: What site/tutotial did you work from? [17:53] unop: Oh no, I deleted that [17:53] *tutorial [17:54] unop: How do I manually uninstall it, or is it safe to reinstall it via apt-get (I just found a source link to install it via apt-get)? [17:54] eax: yes, there's some instructions somewhere.. I nstalled it a few months ago and I can't really remember what I did [17:54] Lainy, well, then the only way to attempt a make install is to download the source again, compile it but dont install it (via 'make install'), then issue a 'make uninstall' === skord is now known as sk0rd [17:54] Lainy, download the source tarball again and run make uninstall. ensure it is the same version [17:54] zcat[1]: Any clues/instructions? :) [17:55] unop, DRebellion: Okay, thanks. === sk0rd is now known as MrBumblebee [17:55] Lainy, if you ever compile from source, you must build a .deb file so apt can remove it later .. otherwise it's a headache [17:55] unop, i get into marsh@ubuntu - a move forward :)? [17:55] unop: Okay, I will look into that, thanks. [17:55] eax: apt-get install --reinstall the package in a terminal, I think it tells you what else you need to do there [17:55] ok, i know how to do a dual boot setup, but will the separate partitions be able to read/write to each other? [17:56] Lainy: or make sure it is installed in /usr/local: no headache :-) [17:56] zcat[1]: Okay, thanks a lot :) [17:56] Bye [17:56] ok, i know how to do a dual boot setup, but will the separate partitions be able to read/write to each other? [17:56] sipior: Thanks for the tip! [17:56] Getting "Bus error" when using the "dig" command. Backtrace @ http://pastebin.ca/964881. Any ideas? [17:56] genii - just did the standard 7.10 install [17:56] amorphous, what does 'groups' or 'id' give you? [17:56] I should not be up at 5am... [17:57] I think my Ubuntu server install just hung .. It's been installing the kernel - retreiving and installing linux-server .. How long does this normally take? [17:57] fiXXXerMet, pastebin.ca times out for me, can you use another pastebin? [17:58] ok so I have vista installed on sda1 foresight installed on sda2 swap on sda3 and ubuntu installed on sda4 now everything boots but foresight [17:58] I talked to the foresight people and they seam to think it is a bug in the ubuntu grub [17:58] the error I'm getting is error 2 bad file or directory what does everyone here think of this ??? [17:58] <|Dede|> wow... after the reboot the "chown" command works! [17:58] <|Dede|> Wtf? Why didnt it work before [17:58] unop groups = nogroup admin ------- id = uid=109(marsh) ::: gid = nogroup ::: groups = nogroup & admin. [17:58] I think my Ubuntu server install just hung .. It's been installing the kernel - retreiving and installing linux-server .. How long does this normally take?? [17:58] sure [17:58] unop should the gid be admin? [17:59] perchance...? (without wanting to jump in and mess things up further...) [17:59] unop: http://pastebin.com/m118b0e1a [17:59] amorphous, well, you didnt add marsh to any groups (i suspect you created a system user still like i said before), so obviously it wont logon :) [18:00] I think my Ubuntu server install just hung .. It's been installing the kernel - retreiving and installing linux-server .. How long does this normally take??? [18:00] unop - but it says marsh is a member of nogroup and admin (110) [18:00] Invisionfree: how long have you been waiting? [18:00] sipior: I'd hazard a guess at around 10 minutes :x [18:00] sorry - - maybe it's my anxiety getting to me... [18:00] i'll try again.. [18:01] Invisionfree: it's a big package [18:01] amorphous, nogroup - no login - remove him from that group [18:01] <|Dede|> thanks to everyone (about 5 people) who helped me with that problem, seems to be solved ;) [18:02] i'll remove him altogether, unop. [18:02] back [18:03] I have the custom desktop setttings turned pm [18:03] *on [18:03] think i must have put him in as system - i dont remember the user details questions... sorry *cringe* [18:03] unop ^^ - am rebooting... [18:03] it's working [18:03] unop: Is there any other way to uninstall the program? I unpacked the same .tar in the same directory, but I cannot make uninstall (make: *** No rule to make target 'uninstall'. Stop.). Thanks. [18:03] thanks guys === Mabus is now known as thedanof87 === Ghoster is now known as xoRock [18:04] fiXXXerMet, hard to say what happened there exactly, but it seems that ld might be having trouble with shared libraries. maybe this helps. sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | grep -i avahi | cut -c 3-30) dbus [18:04] Lainy, perhaps make remove? it depends on the makefile [18:04] DRebellion: That doesn't work. Actually, I installed this program on two computers. On one I kept the source folder, and I was able to successfully uninstall via 'make uninstall'. [18:05] DRebellion: During 'make uninstall', it shows me all the files that are removed. Could I manually remove those files on the other comp? Would that be a clean manual uninstall? [18:05] Lainy, take a look at the Makefile, and rm the files listed. [18:05] hello [18:05] Lainy, you probably need to run ./configure (and whatever else README/INSTALL tells you to do) and make before the uninstall target can be used -- again, there is no guarantee that you can run a 'make uninstall' not all makefiles support it [18:05] unop: Same problem. Weird thing is that I've reinstalled Ubuntu on this server twice. last time, I couldn't ssh in because the http daemon (?) was dieing with Bus Error, and the tiem before, wget and apt-get and dpkg would Bus error. [18:05] Advice me please - how I can create dvd or video cd from avi | mpg | etc file ? [18:05] hey guys good morning [18:05] I've reproduced this problem on 2 different servers as well. [18:06] i like to ask for your help i am very new on kubuntu [18:06] luis__: howdy [18:06] luis__, it is 20:05 here ) [18:06] hello [18:06] goodhabit: apt-get install devede [18:06] Hi Ive just installed oracle 10g express edition [18:06] unop: Thank you, that worked! [18:06] hi sipior [18:06] fiXXXerMet, how were you able to reproduce this condition? [18:06] SlayerFaith, thanks. [18:06] but it is not working properly [18:06] DRebellion: Thanks. After running ./configure again, I was able to 'make uninstall'. [18:06] here is 1106 am [18:06] it could be due to installing not as root?? [18:06] ok [18:06] Lainy, NEVER install from source again ;) [18:06] unop: If I install ubuntu on either of these servers, things are OK. As soon as I apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, after reboot, Bus error starts showing up [18:06] DRebellion: Yup! [18:06] is there somenoe that can help me [18:07] i really ned help [18:07] Lainy, try and not build from source unless absolutely necessary -- if ever you do, use the ubuntu sources and always build a .deb [18:07] unop: Alright, thanks again. [18:07] unop, am in. Am very sorry. am also very grateful. ---- am now going to flash the bios - wish me luck... [18:07] Is anyone else having screen resolution issues with nvidia in ubuntu 8.04 ? [18:07] any one??? [18:07] ok i decided on doing a dual boot with my laptop, but can the 2 partitions see each other? [18:07] oddchild, /join #ubuntu+1 [18:07] luis__: it is customary to explain what your problem is, first [18:08] amorphous, flash the bios?? all because you can't get a user created? :o [18:08] Serveck yes they can [18:08] ok here is the problem [18:08] i have intalled kubuntu several times [18:08] Serveck, i doubt you'll be able to see ubuntu from windows. ubuntu will see windows, but it is buggy from what i hear. [18:08] fiXXXerMet, what version of ubuntu? [18:08] why use older versions of ubuntu? [18:08] ok, theres one more question, does linux support my wireless card? [18:08] is there a list of supported wireless cards? [18:08] Serveck, boot off the livecd and see [18:08] because everytime i try tu do the upgrades [18:08] unop: 7.10 [18:08] something goes wrong and then when i restart de pc it just cont work [18:09] Serveck from windows you can use explore2fs to see the linux partition [18:09] then i have to reinstall it [18:09] ok thanks [18:09] should conky be using ~2-3 % cpu all the time? [18:09] i really like to know how to do the upgrades [18:09] because i already installed ubuntu on my desktop [18:09] and the 2 hard drives could see each other === snowolf_ is now known as Snowolf [18:09] luis__: is any error given? what precisely happens when the machine reboots? === Kamus_H_Zwisch is now known as Zwisch_Bot [18:09] nothing [18:09] black screen [18:09] aske me to press any key [18:09] my xp partition will have all my files, the linux part. will be just linux related [18:10] and then takes me to three options [18:10] luis__: sounds okay so far [18:10] and any of them does not work either way [18:10] Hi all, How do i get real root account/user and not this sudo thing... how to stop sudo [18:10] luis__: and how do they fail? [18:10] If I don't have X on my server, is there a way that I remotely login to my shell so that I see the already running programs? === Zwisch_Bot is now known as Kamus_H_Zwisch [18:10] cause none of them work [18:11] khussein, ssh ? === Kamus_H_Zwisch is now known as Zwisch_Bot [18:11] Lets say that there is a program running on bash. How can I remotely login to my computer and login to my session where I can see that program [18:11] so then i have to reinstall again the kubuntu cde [18:11] luis__: well, but do they give some sort of error when they fail? [18:11] khussein, screen [18:11] FFighter, SSH doesn't do the exact functionality I am interested in. [18:11] fiXXXerMet, beats me, i would go browsing through the bugzilla to see if anything can be done [18:11] It will give me a different session [18:11] unop, no... I have a Dell (optiplex) - they have lots of bios bugs. I upgraded from feisty & the system fell apart... no prn, no firefox, lots of probs... wanted a solid system to flash bios so system stops freezing on startup if i'm using usb KVM. have to update for it. Dell refuse (obviously) to support anything but m$ for bios upgrade & I'm bloody stubborn. hance gutsy bios flashing and the wish for as many luck-giving t [18:11] houghts as possible ;) [18:11] khussein: you might be interested in the "screen", if i understand you correctly [18:11] khussein, ssh + screen === Snowolf is now known as snowolf [18:12] not sure where that extra "the" came from... === Zwisch_Bot is now known as Kamus_H_Zwisch [18:12] Anyone here a cifs guru?

[18:12] the last one i took note was as follow [18:12] amorphous, good luck :) [18:12] luis__: kindly use a pastebin service if it's a long bit of text [18:13] starting up... loadging, please wait... (kernel panic-not syncing: attempted to kill init!!! [18:13] So do I SSH to the server and then run screen? Doesn't this start a new screen on my session? [18:13] thanks unop. and thanks for your patience. gives ubuntu its community (and its growing momentum). appreciated ;) [18:13] thansk, yw [18:13] khussein: the idea is that you start a screen session on the machine you were working on, then attach to that session later from a remote machine [18:13] and the rest like the one just happen only says that there has been an unknown error [18:14] khussein, you run the program initially under screen. then you connect over ssh and reconnect using screen. [18:14] khussein, all the programs you had running have to be in a screen session before you can attach to that session [18:14] when i am trying to actualized the systemn [18:14] what can i do?? [18:14] luis__: hmm...and you say it was working fine until an update? [18:14] yes === jack__ is now known as Kodge [18:14] Ahuh got it.

[18:23] Kurbz, it depends on your gateway to the internet -- most have problems with this -- but you may not always need NAT, a simple IP forwarding router should do [18:23] nope [18:23] Keigo-kun, thats real easy, just remove ubuntu-desktop [18:23] <|Dede|> is there something similar to an autostart list in ubuntu?

( an now installing it) [19:09] guys when i try to enable any visual effects i get: 'Desktop effects could not be enabled' do i have to have a good graphics card? (this makes me wonder cuz peoplerun it on the eee pc) [19:09] unop, many thanks for your help :) [19:09] Jwyanze, ubuntu uses ext3 default [19:09] lxuser, as for setting permissions -- see the manpages for chmod, chown and umask [19:10] will do. [19:10] Allrighty, I have two problems. 1. My monitor is shifted greatly to the right. 2. Windows leave artifacts when I drag them around, even though compiz effects are turned off. [19:10] IdieOne would my windows partitionbe able to read from it [19:10] Trey: Sounds like your gfx card might not be up to it. Or maybe you have agood gfx card but there are no good linux drivers for it. [19:10] trey, desktop effects doesn't need a recent graphics card, it just depends what card you've got, say what card you've got [19:10] are there better drivers for ubuntu for an ATI RADEON 8500 other than what unbunt installs by default? Compiz effects dog out my machine? [19:10] Jwyanze, should be yeah [19:10] Jwyanze, use ext3 and the ext2/ext3 driver for windows [19:10] trey, or, it wasn't properly autoidentified and you have to override the id. [19:11] does anyone know anything about a pogram called anyremote? [19:11] !info anyremote [19:11] IdleOne: thanks alot [19:11] Hi all - can someone help me with a problem. My thin clients hang with LTSP and Ubuntu 8.04 [19:11] Package anyremote does not exist in gutsy [19:11] dgjones: its intergrated... [19:11] Jwyanze: no. But there are no partition types that Linux works on that Windows *can* read natively. there's a third party ext3 driver that is pretty decent though. On the flipside, Linux can read/write NTFS and fat32 (both windows filesystems) [19:11] trey, i can run desktop effects on a 8 year old graphics nvidia geforce2 go, but i had to install additional packages [19:11] If it wasn't for linux problems with ALL my computers in the graphics department, I would really love linux ^ [19:11] MattOv: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks [19:11] trey, doesn't matter. lspci will show it, integrated or separate [19:11] cheers - apologies [19:12] !info [19:12] How should I know?

It may be that some of those should actually be dependencies, and so since you don't have them, you're getting errors. I'd see if installing those helps. (Elisa vs Eliza, finding information works so much better when I spell it properly) [19:35] _maw, what can be said about multi processor performance? [19:35] i have 7.10 installed [19:35] come back if there is a prob [19:35] _maw: Ah well.

[19:43] i know linux is a program [19:43] not windows [19:43] jeremy_, Linux is a Kernel [19:43] jeremy_: What are you doing when it shows black?

Ask your question and wait for an answer. [19:48] MeatGrinder: you don't specify a mount point for SWAP partitions [19:48] Loler use axel (apt-get install axel [19:48] Flannel: ok, doesn't matter. Thank you very much for what you did. [19:48] and then axel http.... [19:48] Loler: you have downloaded it with wget. Now you need to play it. Just hit the file or open it with any player. [19:48] Svenstaro: actually with that solution you can extend it if you need very easily [19:48] Can someone please help me figure out what is causing me to have high cpu wait times (in top), and my computer to be VERY slow. [19:48] simplexio, you still got the overhead on that, and on 8core machines you have to run 8 instances of vbox? that would be quite a hassle [19:48] Loler axel is a download accelerator if the download is realy your problem [19:48] malsyned, oh, so I just set the / mount point and then proceed? I'm doing it manually since I didn't like where Ubuntu wanted to put itself by default [19:49] Svenstaro: im assuming that your programs support somehing like 3dmax server client render systems [19:49] simplexio, exactly [19:49] jeremy_ did you see what bod_ asked you? that might help [19:49] ;~) [19:49] Flannel i was kidding mate... sorry if i was rood in any way :D [19:49] emacs: i used #include and i compiled [19:49] where should I go to give feed back on Hardy? [19:49] !hardy | cppmonkey [19:49] maarten_: check out this page: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_Devices [19:49] malnilion, Actually now that I'm at it...do I need to create a separate partition for the swap? [19:49] cppmoneky #ubuntu+1 [19:49] Svenstaro: actually that could be even faster way to do it, because vmware hasnt io speed [19:49] whos bod [19:50] guys i am using 7 10, i was not able to record sound with my mic.i installed qarecord and was fine.i could use skype since after.today i got an update from skype and installed but it was broken.i had to go to terminal to sort it out.the sound recorder is off again.can any one helppls [19:50] jeremy_, me [19:50] gligorhoria: pastebin the output of : `sudo apt-get update` and, no worries. It's busy in here, hard to keep the S/N ratio up. [19:50] frozenskunk: Could you post output of top to a pastebin or at least try monitoring your load with htop. [19:50] what about u [19:50] Flannel i have a RO distro, u wouldn-t understand a thing... [19:50] jeremy_, have u installed wine and typed winecfg in a terminal? [19:50] im trying a diff game hold on [19:50] simplexio, I considered what you are saying, but consider this, I need to update a plugin. Id be sitting there and zipping through all my virtual machines doing the same thing ove and over [19:50] Flannel RO as in romanian [19:50] not sure about pastebin? not used it before, but tell me how/where and I can [19:50] !paste [19:51] emacsgccproblem: u there? [19:51] bod_ the bot is down... [19:51] ok, is the bot dead? [19:51] oh [19:51] gligorhoria: That's fine, pastebin it anyway [19:51] Svenstaro: thats why you you make one install which you just copy to other intances [19:51] Does anyone know if I have to create a separate swap partition during an unbuntu install? I'm configuring it manually [19:51] oh oh and i can't select text in synaptic btw :D [19:51] frozenskunk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ paste your stuff there, hit submit, then grab the URL it gives you and give it to us [19:51] wheres ubot3? and all the others? they dead aswell? [19:51] hi... I am not sure this is the right channel... but i got the following prob: Due to some unsolved problems involving not being able to iinstall windows xp on a laptop i decided to use the windows I have installed on my virtual machine (in ubuntu 7.10) and use ghost for the windows in the vm and then copy (somehow) the ghost image on the other laptop in which i cannot finish the windows installation. so i was wondering if sb [19:51] could guide me through first of all creating the ghost image from the vm [19:51] bod_ yup that-s anoyng [19:51] guys quick random question if i want to have a banner on my site .. who do i use ? what are the services called . i want to google it [19:51] ok, i was writing a.out instead of ./a.out [19:52] thanks [19:52] Svenstaro: and vbox has that nice snapshit feature to rollback, when your windows gets virus [19:52] simplexio, how would that work? like a couple of thin client and same shared storage? [19:52] hey guys. i need some help on installing ubuntu on a macbook. [19:52] will do. thanks. [19:52] emacsgccproblem: ohh u got it then? [19:52] gligorhoria, too right,. must be a virus about ;~) [19:52] simplexio, my windows' dont get viri [19:52] Svenstaro: pretty muhc like that [19:52] bozza, a banner?? make a picture in gimp then sling it in ur html code [19:52] romeo0569: feel welcome to just ask your questions right out. if somebody knows, they will answer. [19:52] Svenstaro: same her, but 95% windows users get [19:52] no i mean pay per click banners [19:52] emacs: lol i forget that all the time also [19:53] simplexio, mhh worth a consideration, still I dont feel comfortable with that hearing that vbox has cpu affinity problemms [19:53] bozza, google ads i believe do a similar service [19:53] hp lap. wireless works, atheros chipset w/ ndiswrapper - just that the led doesn't turn on - on the off chance that someone has one of these beasts, any pointers? google's turned up nothing usable. [19:53] _maw, you still there? [19:53] i thought i have to pay google ads for me to advertise on google .. but i want someone elses banner on my site .. what is that call .. so they pay me per click [19:53] extremus: the problem (well, the issue) was because your current directory (./) isn't included in the path, so you need to tell the command line that you want to use the a.out thats in your current directory [19:54] #ubuntu.pl [19:54] Svenstaro: i dont have anyproblems. i use vbox for symbian dev enviroment and it moust of time faster thatn native windows [19:54] #winehp [19:54] magnetron: thank you! my question is the following. i have a macbook that i purchased a few days before leopard came out. im trying to install ubuntu using vmware fusion. on the download page there are so many download options for ubuntu. which ones do i pick for my macbook? im a little confused and new at this. any help would be appreciated [19:54] #winehq [19:54] bozza, bit of topic, aint it? its called adsense [19:54] simplexio, yes but youre not trying to build a render farm where cpu is an important thing [19:54] bozza, no, google put adds on your site, and you get a slice of the takings from the adds, if you want to put your adds on other websites u will have to have convo's with the owner or pay people [19:55] * DOOM_NX helloooo [19:55] Svenstaro: can you say what program you use [19:55] ok guys i am having trouble seting the visual efects to custom i have a: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller (rev 03) and i get this when i try to set it: 'Desktop effects could not be enabled' can anyone help? [19:55] hi DOOM_NX [19:55] DOOM_NX :P [19:55] romeo0569: i think the 32-bit desktop version is the one you are looking for. [19:55] simplexio, 3ds max as you correctly guessed [19:55] differentreality :) [19:55] still working on it [19:56] bod_ what is it called though ? this advertising thing [19:56] jeremy_ ok, hope it works [19:56] bozza: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:56] bozza, search google for gogle adds or type something psuedolike "pay per click adds" [19:57] ok thanks [19:57] i wish i can go 2 the store and buy games for the program [19:57] bozza, ITS called adsense [19:57] magnetron: thanks for the reply! now do i get the "LTS" desktop version or standard? and the options below that, do i pick standard personal computer (x86, etc..) or do i pick "64bit amd or intel computers" [19:57] what is the command to close ssh connections from remote computers to this computer? [19:57] thanks Svenstaro [19:57] jeremy_, the joy of freeware is you can download them for free ,. no store no price [19:57] KalEl, "exit" [19:57] freeware games only [19:57] romeo0569: LTS is quite old. just get the x86 standard one [19:57] is it possible to stop the prompt for a password when first logging in to connect to the Wifi? [19:58] romeo0569: the LTS version is 6.06, which was released two years ago. (June of 06) You're probably looking for the new one (7.10). You probably want x86. [19:58] my cousin said i can get them free online but i tryed that and dont work [19:58] hey, we are trying to mount /home as part of a bootup script. The problem is that it seems to hang the kernel logger for some reason. [19:58] magnetron: thank you so much!!! [19:58] is there any way to get dell's custom linux-backports-modules working in the 2.6.24 kernel? [19:58] Flannel: thanx so much! i appreciate it! [19:58] sorry i meant command to disconnect all ssh connections to the server, but from the server - not the client [19:58] jeremy_ did your cousin give you a link to go for the freeware to d/l [19:58] jeremy_, search synaptic for 'Sauerbraten' [19:58] KalEl, sudo /etc/init.d/openssh-server stop [19:59] aint that a demo game [19:59] romeo0569: if that one doesn't work, just come back and ask again. [19:59] ok thanks! [19:59] no [19:59] cppmonkey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#head-92c70cd59ecb39c8645a88a26134115395c7d904 [19:59] k [19:59] jeremy_, no its a ful free online fps aka Cube2 [19:59] what is it again [20:00] magnetron: thanx! im using vmware fusion to create a virtual machine..i hope it works fine lol thanx again! [20:00] read the post [20:00] Flannel: Cheers man [20:00] jeremy_: http://teeworlds.com/ might also bring some fun to you [20:00] whats the website called tho [20:00] Hello everyone :) Can anyone tell me how to write an external harddrive formatted with NTFS? [20:00] jeremy_, what website? u dont need a website to download Sauerbraten just apt-get it [20:01] eax, ntfs3g might help you [20:01] jeremy_, sudo aptitude install sauerbraten [20:02] jeremy_, open synaptic from the System menu and search for Sauerbraten, tick the box to install and click apply, or use the command neverblue gave you in a terminal window [20:02] bod_ Thanks a lot :) [20:02] eax, no probs [20:02] its in my system?? [20:02] Im new to ubuntu, and linux, and Ive been trying to install some new apps on my laptop. every time i try though it tells me that "the list of applications is not available" and it tells me to refresh, and says i need to be on the internet, and since it wont let me connect to wireless i had to run a hardwire, but it still wont update [20:03] jeremy_, 'System' is a drop down menu usually at the top of your screen [20:03] Kyn: You are connected though? pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` [20:03] ok i see it [20:03] then where do i go [20:03] Kyn: are you having problems connecting to apt-get, that is why I am here. [20:04] can someone plz link me to some info on cli pastebin service (i want to know how to use it) [20:04] !pastebin [20:04] bot_, simply pipe something into pastebininit [20:04] bod_: pastebinit is a program that you can cat stuff to, and it'll pastebin [20:04] bod_, simply pipe something into pastebininit [20:04] paws u talking to me [20:04] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [20:04] ty guys [20:04] All, one question regarding soundcards. I am running an ubuntu on vmware (that shouldn't matter I guess). I have a conexant soundcard and it is not recognized by the system. I wanted to check if it is just ubuntu that has this problem, or if other distro's also have a similar problem. [20:05] i am running 2.6.20.16, ubuntu feisty; and the lspci doesn't show the soundcard ( i guess it is not even recognized) [20:05] is 980MB enough for swap if i i have 896MB ram???? [20:05] gangz, your ubuntu is in the vmware? [20:05] where do i go from systems? [20:06] MONKEYMAN490328, id say 2 gig for swap [20:06] yes, I have installed it over vmware. ubuntu is my guest-os [20:06] /last Svenstaro [20:06] !amd [20:06] MONKEYMAN490328: yes. You /can/ run without swap. If you want to hibernate, you need as much as your ram (plus a little overhead) and Im not sure how much is good (so not sure if that'll work) [20:06] I have been trying to install 7.10 on one of my PCs and when it reboots to boot from the HD it wont, the drive is on IDE3 (Secondary Slave) with 2 other HD's on the VIA southbridge. [20:06] jeremy_, open synaptic from the System menu and search for Sauerbraten, tick the box to install and click apply, or use the command neverblue gave you in a terminal window [20:06] gangz, then it matters a lot, hardware detection in your guest os doesnt matter at all. ITs all about your host [20:07] where in systems do i find sauerbraten? [20:07] so i should resize my /home by a gig or so then expand the swap? [20:07] jeremy_, System-->admin-->Synaptic [20:07] Svenstaro, agreed; but i did search for the conexant soundcards and looks like it is not a supported hardware [20:07] gangz, let me have a look [20:07] Is apt-get not working for anyone else today? I tried apt-get update but I cannot get a connection to any ubuntu.com servers. here is a pastebin of whats happening. http://pastebin.com/d36fcd811 [20:08] gangz, whats the exact name? [20:08] also, vmware allows the guest OS to have access to the hardware, albeit via its own drivers, but nevertheless it is possible; else the scsi disk on my machine wouldn't have been detected [20:08] its not in there [20:08] Svenstaro, exact name for what ? [20:08] the soundcard ? [20:08] jeremy_, do u know how to open a terminal? [20:09] jeremy_ sudo aptitude install sauerbraten [20:09] can i use norton ghost (through hiren's boot) on a windows virtual machine that exists on ubuntu 7.10 ? and will it work, keeping a backup of the windows vm ? so that i can use the back up to install windows on another pc ? [20:09] gangz, vmware is fully dependant on the host OS drivers, hardware access doesnt mean it can its own drivers. The full sound card name [20:09] when I run avant window navigator at startup, sometimes I get a weird distorted dock and I have to restart it. It works fine then. I guess it has something to do with running XGL. Would making a custom start script like: sleep 5 && avant-window-navigator work? [20:09] macrobad: I don' [20:09] i give up [20:09] don't seem to be able to connect to paste that for you, is there another way? [20:10] jeremy_ you said you were gonna try another game. did that one work? [20:10] crackintosh: That is indeed not connecting. You could try changing mirrors (security has no mirrors, but the us. ones do). [20:10] #winehq [20:10] nope need a diff sound card i think [20:10] Flannel: what is strange is that it wont connect to either of those. [20:10] jeremy_ ahhhh ok [20:11] frozenskunk: Uh? Try http://www.paste2.org/new-paste [20:11] is creating a separate partition for /home a good idea? Or is there an easy to backup /home in case I hose something? [20:11] i give up tho thanks ppl bye [20:11] Svenstaro, from the windows device manager i see it as conexant high definition smart audio [20:11] crackintosh: Also strange, is that I can. By IP that is. Let me check by URL [20:11] gangz if thats true then it is supported by the default driver [20:11] MeatGrinder: It is a good idea. [20:11] crackintosh: yeah, they work both ways. Can you view them in a web browser? [20:11] I repeat -.- : My internet connection is behaving poorly on Ubuntu compared to Windows XP, and I've already disabled IPv6. What might be wrong? [20:12] Svenstaro, is there anyway i can check if there are some modules missing or something [20:12] guys i am using 7 10, i was not able to record sound with my mic.i installed qarecord and was fine.i could use skype since after.today i got an update from skype and installed but it was broken.i had to go to terminal to sort it out.the sound recorder is off again.can any one helppls [20:12] Flannel: yes [20:12] differentreality, I am not sure it will work, are the processors on the two machine the same family? [20:12] gangz, why dont you just put in the livecd and see for yourself? [20:12] family, yeah [20:12] macrobad, I already installed unbuntu, is there a way to create a new parition and move the /home directory to it? [20:12] crackintosh: So, you can connect to security.ubuntu.com in a browser, but not via apt. That's odd. Do you have any proxys setup? [20:12] im trying to install the rtl8180 driver for my WPC11v4, and it seems like there was something already there and now im getting generally confused. can someone inform as to whats going on? [20:12] Svenstaro, see whether the sound is detected ? Is that what you mean ? [20:12] gangz yup [20:12] meatgrinder, you can do it with gparted [20:12] MeatGrinder: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [20:13] awesome guys. Thanks! [20:13] Svenstaro, ok I can check that [20:13] Svenstaro, thanks for your help [20:13] Flannel: none. I cannot think of anything that would be hindering its ability to connect [20:13] differentreality, then it "might" work, never tried that but you can always give it a whirl [20:13] MeatGrinder: In this case, perhaps, it is easier to backup the data. But if you wish, gparted is also an option. [20:14] heh yeah sinbox ... [20:14] i just installed ubuntu so i'm not too worried about messing it up. Just wish I knew about it before I installed it [20:14] Svenstaro, which of course will mean i will need to reboot the machine (the host OS too). Will check that and join the channel later if it doesn't work. [20:14] useful for installing different distros [20:14] gangz, aye, good luck [20:14] Flannel: does this source list look correct? http://pastebin.com/m33cac9e7 [20:15] Svenstaro, thank you and bye [20:16] crackintosh: yeah, that looks fine [20:16] here you go: http://www.paste2.org/p/18254 [20:16] hey guys, the man pastebinit isvery brief so could you tell me if ive got this right,.,. lspci | pastebinit ?? [20:17] okay, have vmware and virtual machine running just fine. the vm is configured to power on when opened. i created a link to it (running latest ubuntu release) on the desktop, then it asked for the location of the disk file and when booted, creates additional runtime files on the desktop. is there a cleaner way to shortcut to the vmx file? [20:17] how do I find out if i'm using the 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu? [20:17] * hotmonkeyluv forgets stuff easily [20:17] hotmonkeyluv, uname -a [20:17] Svenstaro: thanks [20:18] what's the ideal size for the / partition and /home partition? I assume most of the meat will be in /home right? That would mean I need a minimal partition for / [20:19] MeatGrinder: The base install is about 2G, so thats the absolute minimum for /. I think 10G is a good size, 20G would be plenty. You're right, all of the users stuff goes in /home, so for most people, / is reasonably small, with /home having most of the stuff [20:19] Thank you Flannel [20:19] Flannel: I changed my repositories to uk and I am still having the same problem. However I can ping and connect to them. very odd. === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [20:20] MeatGrinder: You should read this article http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/starting.htm However, remember that it is a tiny bit outdated already regarding the sizes. [20:20] will do thanks [20:20] crackintosh: right, the fact that you can get to them in a browser means its a problem with the repos (and I wouldn't expect mirror changing to help). But, I'm at a loss as to what it migt be (besides a proxy setting for apt, I guess) -- I'm checking launchpad right now. [20:21] Flannel: are you suggesting the problem is beyond my control at this point? [20:22] can pastebinit paste to -- paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ -- the man page doesnt say its supported [20:22] how do i enable the runing of perl commands without perl x??? it was automatic before but somehow it is not now and it is messing up my programs [20:22] macrobad, Some good advice on that link! [20:24] MeatGrinder: Yep. The guy is good. Kudoz to him. :) [20:25] crackintosh: No, I'm saying I'm not sure what the problem is. [20:25] how do i remove drivers? [20:25] hey, I had ubuntu and vista dual booting, and decided to reinstall vista. I told it to install onto the previous vista partition, but now it boots straight into vista skiping the grub menu, so I can't get into ubuntu! how do I restore it? [20:27] hallo [20:28] and i do'nt just mean rmmod, i mean i want to completey remove the module [20:29] hobbitboy: rmmod does remove the module [20:29] im at work and i really want to go home! [20:29] can anyone help me with wolfenstein enemy territory [20:30] anyine [20:30] razorback, i can try, what's your prob [20:30] ? [20:30] g'day [20:30] AmirB: That's a common problem with windows reinstallation. You'd have to load from a live cd and rerun grub configuration. Unfortunately, I cannot tell what exact commands you have to run, but wait for someone else to elaborate on it or google for "recreate grub partition after windows installation" [20:31] i installed it and when it comes to loadong levels it doesnt seem to download anything or enter mapo [20:31] ok, cool [20:31] is it relatively simple? [20:31] razorback, are you sure you're running the latest version ? afaik it was 2.6b [20:32] ill check [20:32] AmirB: yep. It is quite straightforward. [20:32] awesome, thanks [20:32] hi everyone [20:33] just little help if possible [20:33] ciao [20:33] #winehq [20:33] is it possible to link commands? so like atm i have to type lspci | pastebinit can i change something so i can type lspci | paste and have it actually perform lspci | pastebinit ?? [20:33] if i were to install ubuntu on my other computer, will my linksys wireless card work? [20:33] I have two operating systems running on my desktop, windows xp pro and windwos vista business on the same harddisk, the remaining of the harddrive is an extended partition... [20:33] hi! i can login to ubuntu graphically, but it never makes it to get desktop... no blank screen. my mouse isnt waiting. i can move my mouse and the desktop is all orange. it just never makes it to show my desktop icons or navbar. [20:33] ok i intalled 2.6 ...but i dont know about 2.6b [20:34] leafit http://www.bnf.org/bnf/bnf/55/4580.htm?q=%22depo%22#_hit [20:34] err ignore [20:34] bod_, its called bash aliases, read about it on google [20:34] Svenstaro, cheers dude [20:34] in that extended partition is a number of logical drives, which I intend to be the habitat for a number of linux distributions including ubuntu.. [20:34] razorback, it's a small patch but most servers run it [20:34] do you think thats the prob [20:34] I have a silly question, does linux distributions run from logical partitions, or do they have to be located in primary partitions [20:34] ? [20:35] if i were to install ubuntu on my other computer, will my linksys wireless card work? [20:35] ill give it a go [20:35] anyone? [20:35] Erickj92, boot a livecd on the computer and check [20:35] is there such thing as a virus or spyware in linux? [20:35] Issue: I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but FireFox still won't play YouTube videos - am I missing something? [20:35] Jake2point0, not really [20:35] DRebellion, it doesnt work in livecd. that is why i was wondering [20:35] any ssh port forwarding experts here? I need to keep an ssh process alive through dhcp changing addresses, or have it reconnect, or avoid the close_wait delays. any takers? [20:35] hwilde: yeah. [20:36] Erickj92, may need some tinkering then [20:36] Toznoshio: flash [20:36] How can I get my desktop to have the trash bin/computer folder/home folder on it? [20:36] Someone who can help me? I got a Linksys wirless adapter "rt2500 drivers" and for some reason my download speed drops to 100kb/sec, normaly i got 400kb/sec at same server, i have testet it for weeks, and it most be something with the driver/ubuntu [20:36] DRebellion, its a USB Linksys wireless card, so will it take a lot of tinkering? [20:36] hwilde, not very sure, you can do that from your router's page [20:36] Erickj92, no idea [20:36] located at 192.168.2.1 [20:37] redheat, not nessecarily at that ip address [20:37] can some one confirm if i can get my Linksys USB wireless adaptor to work with Ubuntu, and how hard it will be? [20:37] after removing all the evolution dependencys from synaptic then reinstalling it, my pc decided that it needed to do a file check after 26 mounts. After that happened i no longer can get to my desktop after logging in. any suggestions? [20:37] Svenstaro, i found online a tuto on how to use aliases -- it says to put the alias something="somecommand" and put that line into ~/.bash_profile only problem is that file doesnt exist,.,.any thoughts? [20:37] eth01, I have two devices, wired server and wireless roamer. the wireless roamer changes IPs via dhcp when it goes through floor or buildings. It establishes ssh -N -R to the wired server. how can I keep this alive while the roamer changes via dhcp, or have it re-establish fast? [20:37] go back to Windows, where there is such thing as System Restore? [20:37] bod, just make the file and make it executable and paste in the aliases [20:38] bod_: ~/.bashrc [20:38] bod_ that file DOES exist [20:38] macrobad: hmm, I also have a system rescueCD (can't remember what it's called specifically) but it is a command line. Could I also do it from there? (it boots MUCH faster than the live cd) [20:38] How can I get my desktop to have the trash bin/computer folder/home folder on it? [20:38] bod_, how about create it [20:38] can some one confirm if i can get my Linksys USB wireless adaptor to work with Ubuntu, and how hard it will be? [20:38] hwilde: crontab [20:38] anyone create a centos domU on ubuntu with xen? [20:38] eth01, sub one minute delay? [20:38] Svenstaro, not on my machine -- DRebellion, good plan -- Flannel, cheers dude -- thanks uys ;~) [20:39] eth01, the other problem is the port and sshd on the server go into state CLOSE_WAIT for 2 minutes and the roamer cannot re-establish [20:39] uys=guys [20:39] after removing all the evolution dependencys from synaptic then reinstalling it, my pc decided that it needed to do a file check after 26 mounts. After that happened i no longer can get to my desktop after logging in. any suggestions? [20:39] xp_prg: not quite. but, it will be slow, regardless. [20:39] hwilde: yes, thats what i was going to suggest. [20:39] bod_, goto cd ~ and type ls -lha, you should see that file somewhere [20:39] hwilde: SIGHUP once killed? [20:39] crackintosh: pastebin /etc/apt/apt.conf [20:39] where is system restore for ubuntu? [20:40] Hi guys I have a sms modem, Is there a tool for sending and receiving sms. I try using smstools but it didn't work [20:40] Flannel: one sec. [20:40] Jake2point0: whay do you need restore, whats happened? [20:40] what is a good ftp server program for ubuntu dapper server? [20:40] after removing all the evolution dependencys from synaptic then reinstalling it, my pc decided that it needed to do a file check after 26 mounts. After that happened i no longer can get to my desktop after logging in. any suggestions? [20:40] w3rd_, I use proftpd [20:40] easy to install? [20:40] eth01, can I make the sshd exit immediately instead of the closewait state? the roamer knows when it gets a new dhcp and tries to re-establish, but sometimes it cannot bind to the port on the server until it lets go [20:40] apt-get install proftpd? [20:41] w3rd_, everything is usually easy to install, its the configuration that takes some time [20:41] yah [20:41] i got over 10 gigs of stuff and dont want to just whack it and reinstall [20:41] hwilde: what kernel are you running btw? [20:41] so i take it thats not an up outta the box type of thing [20:41] w3rd_, read the documentation, and it has its own channel #proftpd [20:41] koo [20:41] can some one confirm if i can get my Linksys USB wireless adaptor to work with Ubuntu, and how hard it will be? [20:41] Jake2point0: what do the boot logs say? [20:41] hi all [20:41] Svenstaro, im afraid ur still wrong -- http://pastebin.com/f6e9f009e [20:41] Flannel: I do not have an apt.conf i only have a directory called apt.conf.d [20:42] w3rd_, someone has to direct any FTPd to where the files are, so nope, no 'running by itself out of the box' :) [20:42] erick you have to just find out if it works or not if it dont then use the windows drivers for xp and use ndiswrapper [20:42] Jake2point0: don't repeat. rather boot to recovery and add a test user with 'adduser test' (you will be root in recovery mode). Then 'init 2' to get back to normal, and try if you can log in as the test user [20:42] k [20:42] bod_, i spotted the file there on first glance :) [20:42] ok Jake2point0 [20:42] thanks [20:42] bod_ in your pastebin, that is [20:42] how can i change the permissions on an external usb drive? I.e., I get "You do not have permissions to write to this folder" when trying to drag and drop to it. [20:42] Svenstaro, line no.? [20:43] 12. bod [20:43] !permissions | egc [20:43] ubuntu will probably detect your wireless card but it wont work.. you have to blacklist the card first then snag windows drivers and use them in ndiswrapper. [20:43] crackintosh: er... no apt.conf? Interesting. What's in apt.conf.d? [20:43] Flannel: here is a pastebin of 'cat apt.conf.d/' [20:43] http://pastebin.com/m1a317844 [20:43] Svenstaro, where u commenting on flannels sugestion,.,. i thought u said ~/.bash_profile existed ,.,. my bad ;~) [20:44] eth01, a handful of different kernels from 6.10 through 8.04 [20:44] * Triggerhapp waves randomly [20:44] bod_ so you found it? :P [20:44] * mewt waves back [20:44] stefg: actually it looks like i need to change the owner...owner == root and group == root [20:44] Svenstaro, found bashrc yer,.,. not the profile,.,.lol,.,. cheers [20:45] crackintosh: Alright, I don't know if its because I've got an older version or whatnot, but try making an apt.conf, and put in it this: Acquire::http::Proxy "false"; [20:45] egc: it seems a common issue these days.... btw, hardy support is in #ubuntu+1 [20:45] bod_, bashrc is run for every instance of bash, whilst bash_profile is run once when you login iirc [20:45] DRebellion, iirc?? [20:45] I've got a small question. [20:45] shhot [20:45] shoot [20:46] !iirc | bod_ [20:46] stefg: im running gutsy...?

[20:48] Hey guys, how do i get into /(filesystem) in the terminal, I'm trying to delete the CD shortcut using, sudo rm cdrom [20:48] crackintosh: eh, I wouldn't call it strangely. Everyone else with this problem is because of a proxy configuration. Of course, they also have the telltail 127.0.0.1 being the IP they can't connect to. [20:48] ifconfig eth0 up? [20:48] Domitor_Invictus: my scroll wheel works without configuration [20:48] ah [20:48] I'll see what I can do then. [20:48] Domitor_Invictus, it should work out of the box [20:48] Flannel: since you are the only one in ubuntu-doc can I ask you a question? [20:49] Domitor_Invictus: i have a logitech cordless optical mouse, works out of the box [20:49] oh, sorry, you may have misunderstood. [20:50] Domitor_Invictus, you could add this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf: [20:50] Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" [20:50] what I meant was, when I press the middle button, it should produce a small logo signaling up and down. [20:50] Domitor_Invictus, oh,.,. but it works with scrolling non-theless? [20:50] i have managed to install firefox 32 under my gutsy 64. how can i make it the default browser? [20:50] yes. [20:50] well i ran recovery, adduser test then init2 and still cannot get into desktop [20:50] I was wondering about pressing it. [20:50] not surwe then im afraid [20:50] Flannel: would you be able to pastebin your sources.list [20:50] Does the terminal recognize /(File System) I from it i can go into directories but it cant find the cdrom shortcut in, sudo rm cdrom [20:50] or is that Windows exclusive? [20:51] Domitor_Invictus: i misunderstood indeed [20:51] valros, thats because unless u have an alias cdrom is just a word not a dir,. [20:51] But its a file im trying to delete. dont want a cdrom shortcut [20:52] valros, where is the shortcut? [20:52] crackintosh: Sure. It's not the sources.list though, yours is normal. [20:52] Filesystem, / [20:52] Flannel: yeah on second thought, forget about it. [20:52] Can i get sudo permissions in the GUI? === haxax is now known as Ax-Ax [20:52] valros, if its there then the command would be sudo rm /cdrom [20:53] valros, yes o to synaptic and search for sudo-nautilus i believe [20:53] stefg: if i used GPartEd to format this external disk, is it normal for the owner to be set to root?

[20:56] helloo [20:56] w3rd_: depends on the program, what program are you looking for? [20:56] w3rd_, if you don't find it in the repo... you get what on CD or FTP? [20:56] !midi | foolz [20:56] foolz: Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [20:56] ljl... is that a command to enter into IRC? sorry, I'm a bit of a newb [20:56] http://www.snortsam.net/download.html [20:56] Ok, I have one... Anyone know a fair bit on configuring Wine?

The server has no GUI by default, but if you wanted to add one (for synaptic) you could. [20:58] this is a plug for snort [20:58] im not running a gui [20:58] egc - np :) [20:58] !gui [20:58] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [20:58] !enter | w3rd_ [20:58] w3rd_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

How can tell if Ubuntu set all these directories correctly during install? I only see "File System" in the left panel of Nautilus. I can see the directories in File System but I cannot tell if these directories were actually placed in the partitions I created.

[21:57] Thanks for the link, but the Ubuntu wiki only mentions how to install FROM a USB stick, not TO a USB stick... any other docs around? [21:57] hyper_ch, ok ill ck that.

[22:00] hyper_ch, everything seems to have been installed correctly then. the mounted on portion for each reflects a different partition I wanted it in [22:00] hyper_ch, Daisuke_Ido: why suggest proprietary programs that are not even in the repositories, when there are open-source alternatives based on open protocols? :) [22:00] hyper_ch, ok ill check that link [22:00] i've never used ekiga, not sure what it's like [22:01] i know and use skype [22:01] hi all i have plugged in my tvout cables when i restart ubuntu i see how ubuntu loads on my tv screen but then when it comes to login screen my tv switches to blue screen any ideas [22:01] <[agatha]> erm... i've messed my audio settings. i don't know what i've done... is there any way to get them back to default? [22:01] hi, i am trying to get a screen recorder that can record compiz, cube. xvidcap keeps crashing [22:01] LjL: skype is just a lot more common and it's a great program... it's free but not open source and installing it is no problem [22:02] Daisuke_Ido, the point is not Ekiga itself. Ekiga is just one of many SIP clients - if you don't like Ekiga, you can use any other SIP client. the point is that SIP is an open protocol, so you have choice and are not tied to one proprietary vendor. do you know that there are even sites (google, i'm not advertizing) that let you set up SIP account that can call landlines in many nations for free? [22:02] hyper_ch, see above as well [22:02] are any of these hard to setup? I need something fast and easy as I'm in a bit of a bind (no minutes on phone and have to make a near emergency phone call) [22:02] LjL, i had no idea, but thanks for the info :) [22:02] quit [22:03] LjL: I just know nobody using ekiga...all I know are using skype and skype does an excellent job [22:03] hi all i have plugged in my tvout cables when i restart ubuntu i see how ubuntu loads on my tv screen but then when it comes to login screen my tv switches to blue screen any ideas [22:03] #quit [22:03] aww, no one likes a quitter!

[22:04] hyper_ch, you don't have to know of someone using *Ekiga* specifically - it can be any other SIP client, and they will be compatible with each other. there are many for Windows, Linux, MacOS, and just about every system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software#SIP_clients [22:04] is there any way for me to locate files that were lost on their way to the trash bin? [22:04] LjL: even if there are many clients - if I know nobody who uses it, it's of no use for me [22:05] easilydistrac: please rephrase [22:05] hyper_ch: done.

[22:06] <[agatha]> any way of getting ALSA back to its default settings after mess it all up?? the sound settings won't even open when i try [22:06] because themes affect the current user [22:06] when you run an application as root, your user themes don't affect it [22:06] hi all i have plugged in my tvout cables when i restart ubuntu i see how ubuntu loads on my tv screen but then when it comes to login screen my tv switches to blue screen any ideas [22:06] how come when its installed from the repository it works when running apps as root?

[22:08] Thats great.. thanks! [22:08] hyper_ch, i only split made all these partitions because I want to try additional distros [22:08] RoAkSoAx: because it has a rt2561 chip in it? [22:09] Mark_: I have it because I have many harddisks ;) [22:09] hyper_ch, didn't know that, and do you know why nm-applet keeps closing when i try to connect to a wireless network? [22:09] RoAkSoAx: it was a guess... I don't konw for sure [22:09] RoAkSoAx: what does lspci | grep rt say? [22:10] hyper_ch, :) I have one too many, this partitioning business starts to get confusing [22:11] hyper_ch, still can't figure out why Nautilus won't let me rename my windows drive [22:11] what exactly is Mono? [22:11] is there a way to turn a shell-script into a daemon or to detach it from the shell? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [22:11] Mark_: rename=? [22:11] hyper_ch, yeah it's greyed out [22:11] Crema10: cooties [22:11] ochosi: just run it with a "&" at the end [22:11] hyper_ch, thought i might try e2label [22:11] hyper_ch, that is a rt2561 [22:11] ochosi: e.g. ./script.sh & [22:11] RoAkSoAx: then it seems they use that chip on that model [22:12] I'm looking for a screencasting utility that can broadcast over the network live [22:12] hyper_ch: well, that usually works, but i'd like to run the command via a udev-rule and the trick with the ampersand doesn't seem to work there [22:12] Mark_: but rename for? [22:12] ochosi, disown script [22:12] I've tried vlc and it looks like vlc doesn't work [22:12] ochosi: you could keep it running in a screen session [22:12] hyper_ch: why does it act like it's charging money? it said $0.021 per minute when I test called my friend./ [22:12] anyone know any good screencasting software for use over the network? [22:12] hyper_ch, seems like, but do you have any idea why it creates errors on NM-applet? [22:12] noble-: for calls on normal phones it cost [22:12] hyper_ch, rename it to "windows" [22:12] unOp , hyper_ch : thanks, i'll those two a try [22:12] noble-: skypt - skype is free [22:13] Mark_: why= [22:13] hyper_ch, stupid huh? i dunno, it has a weird name now [22:13] Mark_: ok...

[22:16] neverblue: no. [22:16] hyper_ch: thanks man - sounds great, i'll give it a shot right away! [22:16] ochosi: and if you intend to run multiple screen, use the -S option to name the session [22:16] ochosi: e.g. screen -S bash_script.sh [22:17] ochosi: that makes it easier to "find" the right one instead of guessing the pid [22:18] hello, i needed check my ethernet ids [22:18] howto make ? [22:19] hyper_ch: great, i'll check how that behaves together with udev and report back as soon as i have results [22:19] * hyper_ch wonders what happened to Ubotu... and Seveas [22:19] <[agatha]> well... okay i have just found out that i need to reinstall the whole ALSA drivers and get them back to defaults, how to do it?? i cannot figure it out [22:20] ochosi: you can leave the script running in screen and then detach the screen session with ctrl-a d [22:20] ochosi: and it will keep running [22:21] <[FT]alex> agatha - I think the alsa drivers are in the synaptic package manager. maybe that's the easiest way to do it? just mark everything for reinstallation [22:22] <[agatha]> will that get them back to default [FT]alex ?? [22:22] anyone know how to adjust the scrolling speed(i.e. in firefox)? it goes FLYING and becomes unresponive... [22:22] <[agatha]> because i think the problem is that i've messed up something, so when i try to open any sound control everything freezes [22:22] slipttees: if you are talking about your MACs run /sbin/ifconfig , HWaddr (first line) [22:23] <[FT]alex> should do, agatha. if not you can completely remove it first [22:23] hyper_ch: but with udev i don't have the chance to use a keyboard-shortcut, i can only run one command/script (that fires e.g. when i plug in my usb-stick) [22:23] <[agatha]> ok i'm gonna try just to reinstall thanks a lot [22:24] Hi all. What is the command so that even "sudo rm" will not remove a file? [22:24] ochosi: easy, you can simply close the actual terminal window [22:24] ochosi: the screen session will continue [22:24] ochosi: so is it enough to run screen -S script.sh to detach the script? [22:24] i've got problems with my wlan, soundcard and wine sucks. if there won't be solutions for my problems i will change back to xp:( [22:24] what do i do if hardy is unable to detect mmy monitor resolution correctly?

[23:06] Robbie_Crash: why not? If the rest doesn't run properly... [23:06] firemanx, hmm just around the cut but it could possible not qualify ... i think acpi is disabled for bioses older than 1999. Try disabling it [23:06] Mark_, they are different versions, hardy would have newer versions to most packages [23:07] how can I "renew" superusers please? [23:07] Robbie_Crash: use hardy since alpha3 on my production system [23:07] orb: will look into it, thanks orb [23:07] reaktae, what does 'renew' mean there?

[23:08] Mark_: no, as each release is 6month there will only be security releases and bug fixes [23:08] i just bought two little dwarf frogs and just realised i made a huge mistake and im tryin to figure out how to fix the mistake without killin the poor guys [23:08] Mark_: but not new versions [23:09] Mark_, some packages won't be bleeding edge in a fully updated gutsy - this might be because of some odd dependencies that only the setup in hardy can get around [23:09] what kind of mistake? [23:09] hyper_ch, ah i c [23:09] Didnt wash the gravel [23:09] So the waters all murkey [23:09] pen: have you used sound capture in Windows yet? [23:09] ; [23:09] soundray: it works of course with the 3rd parties apps [23:09] what's wrong with taking the frogs ut and washing the gravel? [23:09] reaktae, you'll need to drop down into the recovery mode (via 'telinit 1' perhaps) and add your user back into the admin group [23:09] soundray: I just bought this a few weeks ago [23:09] hyper_ch, i suppose i can find upgrade information when hardy is release in the forums then. [23:10] silverdawn: it probably wont matter anyway, the gravel dust will settle [23:10] shouldnt hurt the frogs [23:10] m0wbray, Ph level took two days to get right and the temp needs to be almost right on 78 [23:10] yeah but i read its important to wash the gravel, ytou hould be fine with it tohugh [23:10] hyper_ch, hopefully installing /home on it's own partition will help with the upgrade process [23:10] unop: telinit 1? no idea here... i can grub into recovery... do i telinit 1 then? what does that do? [23:11] pen: okay, then checking the BIOS setup won't help. Have you looked at all the mixer settings? Sometimes capture channels are muted. [23:11] 1. wie kann ich meine ip herausfinden? 2. und wie kann ich nachschauen, welche ip andere von mir im netz sehen? [23:11] OK......Did a checksum verify...Checksum is correct......Did a CD defect verify....checks Good. Tried starting safe graphics mode...got the command line screen....not sure what to do from here (All of this is in reference to my PC freezing after getting to the Gnome desktop on initial install attempt). [23:11] can you gravel vac it or is there not enough water for that? [23:11] reaktae, forget telinit 1 here, thats only if you have already booted up into normal mode -- just continue on from grub [23:11] Mark_: it might not as it might keep config files from outdated stuff [23:11] soundray: I have already checked that althought there is no recording tab, the device for recording is in the master, I unmuted all === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [23:12] asker: try an online service like heise.de Browsercheck [23:12] unop: but grub won't let me do anything... [23:12] reaktae, can you boot up normally ? [23:12] hyper_ch, oh, so i have to lose everything to do the upgrade? like all my settings etc? [23:12] out of curioisity, what irc client are you guys using? [23:12] pen: perhaps you can enable extra sliders/tickboxes through Edit-Preferences [23:13] soundray: only master presented [23:13] Root-raid5: get dropped to the initrd prompt, "root disk not found" sort of thing. Start the array manually ('mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2') and exit the initrd prompt, everything boots and works. What am I missing? It looks like the udev rules are on the ramdisk, as well as a valid /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on the initrd image (but it appears to get overwritten by the time I get into the initrd shell). Thoughts? [23:13] soundray: only one there [23:13] Mark_: you don't have to but it might be a better choice (sometimes) [23:13] reaktae, actually forget i asked that, what's happening at the grub screen? [23:13] unop: yes but like i said - everything is locked. i used the kde admin tool and removed the user from all the admin groups.. [23:14] hyper_ch, guess i'll cross that bridge end of the month. I'm sure there will be plenty of forums posts on the subject [23:14] pen: sorry, I have no further suggestions [23:15] Anybody use an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS with ubuntu? [23:15] unop: it's as usual. i have the option to use the recovery mode but then i can only login as User1 (the actual name) and that's it. i can sudo but the commands do not get processed... [23:16] Would i be better off trying to get help for Flash sound in firefox here, or on the Ubuntu forums? Just a quick question. [23:16] free'/cls [23:16] hauk: try us, if nobody knows, nobody will reply [23:17] any1 no how i can make a key on the keyboard (or key combos) show the desktop? cuz id like a faster way than clicking "show desktop" [23:18] reaktae, you should be taken to a root shell in recovery mode? does that not happen? if not, what does sudo -s do there? does that take you to a root shell? [23:18] deniz__: ctrl + alt + D does that on my laptop [23:18] deniz__: try gnome-keybinding-properties [23:19] unop: sudo -i gives you a saner environment than sudo -s (compare e.g. echo $HOME) [23:19] MrKeuner, that works :D thanks! ill check the keyboard shortcut place if i can change it to 1 key tho (its nice to do that wen u have 2 keys that r same on keyboard) like i have 1 windows key for 3d flippin of windows and other for terminal window ;) [23:20] Hello, does anyone know how I can add a non-sudo admin user to the 'tty' group for default write access to /dev/pts/X?

[23:24] starnestommy, kitche, thanks! i got it... [23:24] unop: btw, if you start a graphical program from a sudo -s shell, you get the !gksu problem [23:24] soundray, yes, but that can upset quite a few things, it changes your PWD, so files you were working on before you sudoed are no longer in $PWD and all your env. vars. are unset, thats a real pain [23:24] !gksu [23:24] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[23:32] Reflex: do *not* set a root password [23:32] !rootshell | damaltor [23:32] damaltor: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances.

[23:33] slart: but then i would have to restart my computer for it to take effect and then the livecd runs and forgets everything [23:33] Hmm... [23:33] Sinistrad: Hmm, I think I might know what the problem is... The thing is, I always ssh to this server with root@hostname. The problem occurs when I su and try to run screen. I'm thinking now if I ssh as the username, that user should have /dev/pts/ write access. Let me try. [23:33] LjL, so I shouldn't concern on that, uh? [23:33] Reflex: well it's ubuntu's policy really to use sudo over root account [23:33] damaltor: read ubotu's factoid ^^. The way to get a root shell is sudo -i (not sudo -s or sudo su or sudo bash or whatever) [23:33] Lainy, I think you've nailed it [23:33] Would i be able to boot the ubuntu installer off an external harddrive [23:33] brainiac8008: you only have to restart X.. not reboot [23:33] hey guys, how would I recheck a mounted HDD? I have all these random things popup in the HDD when I restart the computer but when I attempt to remove them it says they don't exist [23:34] shjordan, if you really need it to work... you can try following the instructions on the forum, but it's probably not too easy. [23:34] most Irc channels boot you if you are logged in as root [23:34] Lainy: try su - username (instead of just su username) [23:34] brainiac8008: you can restart x by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace [23:34] slart: okay will try it. and it's nvidia-glx-new. is this right? [23:34] kitche: I'm just trying to locate my default apache install or where to edit my default site. [23:34] ;p [23:34] Sinistrad: Yes, it works! [23:34] I tried the sudo get-apt upgrade [23:34] soundray: Okay, let me try that now. [23:34] brainiac8008: all gui programs will terminate when you do that [23:34] idk [23:34] brainiac8008: yes [23:34] did not work [23:34] slart: k brb [23:34] soundray: well, i never needed -i. i usually dont need a root shell though, but if i do, i use sudo su. no need to make it harder then needed i think... [23:34] Reflex: /etc/http.d/ I believe have not really looked at Ubuntu in a while myself [23:34] it did not upgrade anything [23:34] mrkeishii: then your OpenOffice is up to date [23:34] !doesntwork | mrkeishii [23:34] mrkeishii: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:34] ahh [23:34] Reflex: you dont need to log in as root to do that [23:35] LjL, On forum, no one have been able to make it work... [23:35] soundray: I can post a link to the output of aplay -l, lspci -v, and lsmod | grep snd, if you'd like? [23:35] I was trying to touch index.html to see if I had the right dir [23:35] ahh [23:35] soundray: Hm, that doesn't work if I ssh'd as root. What's the difference between su - and su ? [23:35] it does not [23:35] Lainy, it's better to be a user and need root, than to be root and not need it....or something like that ;) Root is bad, use it when you need and never any other time. [23:35] mrkeishii: you're trying to update to 2.4.0, right? [23:35] thats why i encountered my problem [23:35] ;p [23:35] upgrade [23:35] and [23:35] mrkeishii: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:35] Reflex: /var/www is the apache root [23:35] damaltor: do make sure you understand the difference, though. sudo su can get you in trouble (and others if you advise them to use it) [23:35] now OpenOffice has 2.04 [23:35] now [23:35] and I want to upgrade to that [23:35] Reflex: you just need to be part of www-data group to have write access to it [23:35] Lainy: it sets a wider variety of environment variables to the target user [23:35] Thanks guys for the help. [23:35] mrkeishii: either build openoffice yourself or grab the binary [23:36] I have installed xfce4 from apt-get; how do I get it to work now? If I try to log into the session nothing happens [23:36] mrkeishii: irc is a much nicer place if you think a second before you type.. try writing all you want to say on one line.. and start the line with the nick of the person you're talking to [23:36] Sinistrad: Yeah, haha. It's just that since I'm configuring this server all the time, it's convenient to be root. [23:36] Buonanotte! [23:36] idk how to do that [23:36] soundray: Okay, let me check that out.. [23:36] I'm new to Linux [23:36] Qualcuno può aiutarmi? [23:36] Lainy, See what your convenience gets you? ;) [23:36] !it | Puccy [23:36] Puccy: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:36] ops! [23:36] mrkeishii: how to do what? [23:36] My printer is connected properly and the driver is installed... ubuntu recognizes the printer... but I am unable to print... can someone please help? [23:36] soundray: of course. you should know what you are doing. but to make it complete: Reflex, you CAN do as i said. but you should only if you are really sure what you are doing and why. usually, it is better to type "sudo" in frint of the command you want to use. this is MUCH mor secure. [23:37] Sinistrad: Yes, thanks for the red flag. I'll try to avoid ssh'ing as root now. [23:37] mrkeishii: wait for the new ubuntu release. It's due on 24 April [23:37] Damaltor: Last time I ran linux was like slackware 1.09 or something [23:37] ;p [23:37] oh alright [23:37] you mean 8.04 [23:37] right [23:37] mrkeishii: please stop using as punctuation [23:37] alright [23:38] damaltor: will you refrain from recommending sudo su then? [23:38] Lainy, Many serves disable remote root logins as a general policy. [23:38] thanks every one [23:38] Reflex: dmab [23:38] I gtg [23:38] here's an odd question- my friends using an ubuntu live cd when it boots up it has horizontal lines across the screen. windows doesnt, and its not appared until ubuntu boots, bios is fine. [23:38] no physical cracks or anything [23:38] soundray: well.. if someone asks how to get an unrestrictd root shell, ill tell him. but i will recommend not to use that shell but use sudo in front of a single command, yes [23:39] Sinistrad: Yeah, my server is unmanaged, so I get full root access. [23:39] soundray: I can post a link to the output of aplay -l, lspci -v, and lsmod | grep snd, if you'd like? [23:39] Is there an IRC client installed by default with Ubuntu? Can't seem to find it. I'm used to Xchat but all I see in Synaptic is some ripoff called "xchat-gnome" [23:39] Mark_: xchat-gnome is installed by default [23:39] Does anyone know how to convert a .daa to a .iso? Or to play a .daa in a media player? [23:39] Mark_: in Kubuntu, there is konversation. otherwise, xchat should do the job... [23:40] why dont you use pidgin [23:40] hey guys, does anyone know how to add stock symbols to "invest" for ubuntu? [23:40] you can download konversation from synaptic [23:40] pidgin is good for idling ;-p [23:40] Lainy, I mean, most admins, evne if they have it, disable remote root. It's better (speaking of best practice sorts of things) to login as a regular user, and gain root if you need it. A lot of corporate infosec policies demand it. [23:40] Mark_: you can install the regular xchat.. sudo apt-get install xchat [23:40] kitche, can't find xchat in the applications menu [23:40] hauk: I'm no sound expert (don't be fooled by my nick, it dates back to a time when I was involved in ultrasound imaging), but I'm sure that information will help someone else help you. [23:40] Slart, roger that slart [23:40] Mark_: you might need to enable the universe repository [23:40] Lainy, And forbid others to succeed logging in as root. [23:40] gtg [23:40] Mark_: xchat-gnome not xchat it's just called IRC client I believe [23:40] bye [23:41] Mark_: sometimes it can be better to use apt-get instead of graphical tools. but xchat ought to be in the list though [23:41] any1 here use imagemagick? [23:41] soundray: Okay, I'll paste it somewhere. Should I go and post on the forum? I'm trying to avoid it after the savagry my last(and only) thread received :P [23:41] !anyone | deniz__ [23:41] deniz__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:41] i meant i couldn't find out where to run IRC from the GUI [23:41] hauk: why, were they rude to you? [23:41] I want to install VMWare-Player but when I type aptitude vmware-player i get "No candidate version found for vmware-player" and nothing is installed. Any idea why it isn't installing from repositories? [23:42] anyone know anything about Coova? is it well supported and reliable? [23:42] Mark_: xchat should be in the "Applications" menu.. under "Internet" [23:42] All: Is there any way to stop IRC info msgs logging to the channel window? [23:42] does the "invest" applet for ubuntu work? [23:42] dek do you have the commerical repo? [23:42] Slart, not there, checked [23:42] I just want to see the channel chat [23:42] Mark_: what are you useing irc for [23:42] anyone got experience with dhcp3-server ? woul appreciate bit of help [23:42] Sinistrad: Didn't really know that before. I kind of neglected the warning that using root is bad on the assumption that I wouldn't mess things up. But now I'll heed your advice and login as a regular user. Safer and more convenient. :) [23:42] Mark_: hmm.. well.. try pressing alt+f2 then.. write "xchat" there [23:42] I am using Pidgin [23:42] kitche: yes, multiverse [23:42] Mark_: icons get lost sometimes.. [23:42] dek: umm commerical is not multiverse [23:42] Slart, file could not be found [23:43] soundray: Nah, it was the classic firefox and flash problem. I created a thread in the wrong forum by mistake, it was then moved and then got subsequently locked :( [23:43] Mark_: im useing pidgin [23:43] !anyone | zx-cell [23:43] zx-cell: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:43] Ok, why is Compiz not allowing me to enable 3d desktop effects? I manually installed the driver, but it thinks it's not installed. However when I do glxinfo | grep direct it says direct rending: Yes. and 3d Games work? [23:43] sarah____: generally, you configure applets by right-clicking and selecting Properties [23:43] Mark_: did you install xchat?

But Compiz thinks it's not installed, however direct rendering = yes and I can run 3d games [23:45] zx-cell: I need player, its for a University assignment [23:45] Slart: it didn't work. i went into low-graphics mode, selected continue, and then i got command line with nothing coming up, so a did a forced shut down [23:45] sarah____: you have to rightclick on the right of the applet icon, in the grey area [23:45] Starnestommy: true just to chat its good [23:45] joebob777as7, it won't allow me to enable 3d desktop effects without "enabling the driver" but it tries to install the old 100.14 drivers [23:45] dek : under linux ? the windows one is free i think, or trial [23:45] wehen i click configure in network tools-->it tells me the interface does not exist, whem i am getting internet through it right now???????????????

[23:47] sarah____: click on GOOG and replace it with the ticker symbol of your choice [23:47] what the command to reset your xorg-server to default? [23:47] Slart, installing now [23:47] dek: ok then :) try to refresh then try installing the player [23:47] brainiac8008: nah.. I think nvidia uses the same driver for all cards.. but I'm not entirely sure.. it might be old enough that you need the legacy driver.. [23:47] kitche: refresh how? I do an update but it is still the same [23:48] ah oh i see now soundray [23:48] thanks [23:48] Slart, BTW I cannot do SU -l in my terminal, it's not accepting the same password i use for sudo. What's up with that? Is there a default SU password? [23:48] rdoes someone know more about dhcpd3-server ? [23:48] Mark_: don't use su.. use sudo [23:48] Mark_: sudo and su is different [23:48] slart: i'm pretty sure i don't need the legacy. i got it w/ my computer about 6 months ago. i will check ubuntu forums. [23:48] su is bad? [23:49] Mark_: other way around [23:49] I'm still trying to figure out the difference between su and sudo [23:49] Mark, su is different [23:49] Mark_: su is safer than sudo. su uses your root password [23:49] ok ubunt never asked me for a root password on install [23:49] so I don't know it [23:49] wehen i click configure in network tools-->it tells me the interface does not exist, whem i am getting internet through it right now??????????????? [23:49] i need to configure ------no zx-cell it doesnt work [23:49] su is being used in other distributions ... su -super user ... ubuntu uses SUDO [23:49] Mark_: well.. since ubuntu doesn't really use the root password.. su is bad.. [23:49] that;s because there is no root password. [23:49] hello [23:49] * infinitycircuit forgot he was in #ubuntu lol [23:49] root doesn't have a password.. [23:49] why dosent ubuntu detect my second core CPU???????? [23:49] infinitycircuit: that's not correct (Mark_) [23:49] Mark_, there is no need for a root password since you can use sudo [23:49] infinitycircuit, if you consider actually having a root password as 'safer' than not having one... ;) [23:49] ...by default.. [23:50] how can i get a right-click open terminal command in nautilus [23:50] understood, no SU, thank you [23:50] So I don't know what happened but my keys stopped being able to repeat if I held a key down, this just suddenly happened (I have had my computer on for about a week straight) [23:50] kitche: it seems there is a bug with 7.10: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-player/+bug/135358 - vmware-player package is not installable, so I will have to get .tar.gz from VMWare page.

[23:50] Launchpad bug 135358 in vmware-player "vmware-player not installable" [High,In progress] [23:50] Mark_: if you really really really (and even if you get this far, think again) need su.. you can use "sudo -i" [23:50] yeah [23:50] slart: the geforce 6150 and 6150 LE are supported by nvidia-glx-new. it does not mention my 6150se but that should be close enough, right? [23:50] Mark_: su can be used but for root power use sudo instead [23:50] how can i get my wireless to work with linux? === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette [23:50] Hey guys. Does anyone know an nzb downloader that does automatic unrars? I have heard of nzbperl, but I was wondering what else is out there. [23:50] hi can two linux OS on a system share a single swap??? [23:51] I guess I can screw less stuff up using sudo then [23:51] arvind_khadri: yep [23:51] arvind_khadri: yes [23:51] brainiac8008: well.. I would think so.. have you tried googling for "+6150se +ubuntu" ? [23:51] kitche, thank you [23:51] arvind_khadri, not at the same time. [23:51] I have freshly installed Ubuntu 7.10 and kacpid uses 90% of my CPU, how do i get rid of this [23:51] c1x does it work by default? [23:51] nope [23:51] Slart, xchat engaged! [23:51] slart: i'm way ahead of you lol. ;-) [23:51] arvind_khadri: yes but if you suspend or hibernate one system then it's not a good thing [23:51] i have a 250gb usb hard drive which is partitioned, i want to format it but gparted recognizes only an 80gb device, what am i doing wrong?

[23:53] does any1 no a guide for imagemagick that states EVERYTHING (even the most basic things such as cd to directory stuff) [23:53] ciao a tutti [23:53] sarah____: what's the problem now with the Invest applet? [23:53] do you really need ftp? Why not use samba or scp? [23:53] Reflex, repositories [23:53] Root-raid5: get dropped to the initrd prompt, "root disk not found" sort of thing. Start the array manually ('mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2') and exit the initrd prompt, everything boots and works. What am I missing? It looks like the udev rules are on the ramdisk, as well as a valid /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on the initrd image (but it appears to get overwritten by the time I get into the initrd shell). Thoughts? [23:53] just want s nicer theme one thats all [23:53] I did a apt-get and it was trying to get proftpd 1.3.0 and on the site the later version is 1.3.1 [23:53] IdleOne: well you still need to download it Reflex ftpd and such is more opinion then fact [23:54] j === MeatGrinder2 is now known as Martk [23:54] d === Martk is now known as Mark_ [23:54] Reflex...Instead of ftp, why do you use samba or scp?

[23:55] slart: that was on ubuntu forums [23:55] taskbar buttons not window buttons [23:55] Reflex: version 1.3.0 is the one that's tested and proven with Ubuntu. It's not always good to have the highest version of something [23:55] nikitis enable them in restricted drivers manager [23:55] nikitis what version of ubuntu are you using? [23:55] Ah I see [23:55] i have a vista theme but the folders and buttons look like "human" still, i want it to look like vista icons, wat do i download and how do i make it happen for me? (taskbar buttons not window buttons) [23:56] zx-cell, how do I do that, when I do that it goes to install the old 100.14 nvidia drivers. I installed manually the new 169.13 drivers which work fine.

[23:59] Reflex, it will tell you if you already have the latest version [23:59] valros: you have to replace with your login name (see it by entering 'whoami') [23:59] nikitis: it wants the one from the restricted manager since that's how it's setup you could always install the one from the restricted manager and then install the one that you have to make it so ubuntu thinks it has the older version [23:59] well i ve got ubuntu 7.10 installed at my server with gforce2 mx400 64mb, 700mhz p3 and 384 ram .. .. it works just fine, so the ati drvers must be kinda .. ..
