I'm having a little trouble getting slapd to work with TLS on ubuntu... gnutls doesn't seem to be as well documented as openssl. [00:00] Does anyone know what format the cert/keyfiles need to be in? [00:00] lol pelo [00:00] ?????/ what in the world [00:00] I am so sick of this commercial [00:00] ugh [00:00] 我的wordpress怎样上传文件 [00:00] http://youtube.com/watch?v=onvtaOKZ01c [00:00] ccvp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:00] Flyzoola, it doesn't say resolution , it ust looks like a bunch of numbers, but you probably donT' have that, close xorg.conf and get back to the destkp [00:00] so what was the gh3 that azira was talking about [00:01] Is there a way to generate a brandnew xorg file? [00:01] Floating BurgerKing, robotic futuristic [00:01] I'm on a livecd, but I have a fairly new nVidia card (the 9600) [00:01] Flyzoola, go in menu > system > admin > restricted driver , see if you are using the restricted driver [00:01] ccvp, Please STOP [00:01] fxfitz, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:01] what will view a .psd ? (Adobe PhotoShop ) [00:01] Jack_Sparrow, why no just show him who's the boss ? [00:01] CarlFK: did you try opening with GIMP [00:01] Pelo, Hm. It says I don't have xserver-xorg on. :( [00:02] CarlFK, probabaly the gimp [00:02] :) Hopefully he will listen [00:02] Pelo, But I just did apt-get install gnome... does it not put xorg on there too? [00:02] so it won't boot into graphical mode. How can I either A: install the driver to the livecd without rebooting or B: install from the command line? [00:02] fxfitz, are you running a machine without a gui ? [00:02] Pelo, it syas I don't need any restricted drivers [00:02] Pelo, Well I'm trying to install it now, actually. I just installed Server version. [00:02] fxfitz, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [00:02] dtolj, Pelo: - gimp worked. thanks [00:03] ubuntu, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [00:03] Can anyone tell me how to connect to a fluxbox session using the nx client ? [00:03] Flyzoola, how did you get your video to work the last time ? [00:03] me is back now [00:03] omg [00:03] unetbootin is a trip [00:03] FluxD, try asking in #fluxbox maybe [00:03] FluxD: nx? [00:03] plugged it in. My dad told me he moved the computer and the chord had became unplugged. So I plugged it back in and it was all small and retarded [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks :D [00:03] np [00:04] Flyzoola, ok just do the reconfigure mentitoned earlier, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and let it pick the answers [00:04] hello [00:04] * Pelo gives shejuexi a hoody and hands him a glass of coolaid [00:05] Pelo, "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root" [00:05] Flyzoola, start with sudo dpkg ..... [00:05] is there a max number of mice I can use at one time? [00:05] Seven_Six_Two, I would assume two unless you have more hands [00:05] dtolj, nomachine.com [00:05] File service drivers would not load, and the OS exited out to a command line, then exited that, and asked me for a password.. on a black screen,, a Login.. which I gave, but it said my login/pass was incorrect [00:05] or four if you use wheel mice [00:06] MrSteve, caplocks ? [00:06] Pelo I tried numlock button.. I was aware of caps.. when I issued the system login/pass [00:07] MrSteve, that's the only idea I have but you said this was netboot ? it might be related [00:07] Pelo -- I think the core is there, but the desktop may not be.. the UnetBootin would not install softwares [00:07] Pelo, thanks. I'll have to find more hands. I actually meant having my pc (2 monitors + tv) with mouse/trackball and drawing tablet connected and sitting at the seats I would use them at [00:07] Pelo - Unetbootin asked me for a Hostname, also [00:07] MrSteve, I'm not even sure what unetbootin is sorry [00:07] Does anyone know of like a website that has a database of known monitor refresh rates? [00:08] eh.. get up on it.. I mean, it is a good way to install Ubuntu [00:08] fxfitz, probably the manufacturer's site [00:08] Ok, got an easy one: How do you list the files that were installed by a package installed by aptitude? === GH-VAIO is now known as |VAIO| [00:08] Hello, in urxvt when I type alt+s, I get "scrollback search" but I want alt+s to open up a channel window in irssi. How do I disale this urxvt key binding? Thanks. [00:08] Seven_Six_Two, I don'T actualy think there is a limit they just all need to be listed in xorg.conf I think but I am no expert [00:08] errrgh.. I say good. in principle === |VAIO| is now known as GH-VAIO [00:08] fxfitz, If I did, I would not trut them. I would still look up my specific monotor specs from the mfg [00:08] notluke, try looking in /var/log/dpkg [00:08] alright. I'll just try it. it seems ok with 2 right now [00:09] notluke: in synaptic select the package installed and then right-click properties [00:09] Lainy, try searching in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [00:09] Pelo: There is mention of the package being installed, but it doesn't call out any of the files it actually wrote out. Not as far as I can tell anyway. [00:09] I'm gonna run Unetbootin again, since XP will boot up [00:09] notluke, that's all I had [00:09] Well, thanks for the pointer. [00:10] The most useful line in there is: 2008-04-19 16:07:01 status installed gnutls-doc 2.0.4-1ubuntu2 [00:10] But I don't know where it actually put the docs! [00:10] notluke: in synaptic select the package installed and then right-click properties [00:10] bbyever: I'm not running X on this machine, so I'm using aptitude. Can I still retreive that info? [00:10] bbyever, he wants a list of packages that were installed [00:10] I suppose I could try. Heh. [00:11] notluke: im not user, havent used aptitude [00:11] ya.. it ran apt on my install [00:11] Pelo: I'm actually looking for the list of files that were installed when the package was installed. [00:11] what is the best program to play midi files? [00:11] hello. my home dir is chmod 700. so any body cant see my site. can you tell me what chmod i need to set? [00:11] Pelo: the properties in synaptic give what he was looking for [00:11] like rpm -qp or pkg_info -f. [00:11] Can update-rc.d overwrite other init scripts? [00:11] notluke, ahh.... like dependencies and such , then bbyever's idea will work [00:12] * Pelo can learns not just support [00:12] Well, not dependencies, really. I installed a documentation package. Now I want to find the documentation it installed. [00:12] joseph , kmid , timidity [00:12] notluke, usualy it's manpages I beleive [00:12] x0x, the digits, in order represent owner, group and world [00:12] whassup faggots?

Everything runs smoothly, then it goes to scanning disks or w/e and it gets stuck and freezes up @ 50%. [00:20] hey people. So I decided to switch to Ubuntu, because Windows is awfully slow on my lap top and i wanted to try something new. but, it wont install on my laptop [00:20] I have 2 hdds, that work fine in Windows [00:20] deadlock, might be a syntax issue, chekc other variables in the file, caps, and spaces might be an issue, I'm not an expert on that one [00:20] Fusaaki, during the install ? [00:20] correct [00:21] Fusaaki, the alternate install cd is usualy less demanding on hardware , it might work better then the live cd in this case [00:21] It happens on both Ubuntu and kubuntu and It wont let me mount the Hdds (ones sata and one is ide) [00:21] So try the install only disk? [00:21] Pelo alt install = text mode installer [00:21] gogeta, since when ? [00:21] Pelo its the same in the end but at least you can make ystem changes [00:21] gogeta, nvm [00:21] my hardware is quite capable though. ~2Gs ram, dual core 2.2s 64bit [00:22] Pelo LOL! [00:22] Fusaaki, that's my suggestion , [00:22] i downloaded the 700 MB package, and when I try to run the installer it says "unable to find any appropriate cd" [00:22] does the ubuntu restricted formats package also support xvid and all those video codecs? [00:22] gogeta, I know what the alternate install cd is thank you [00:22] sata fusakki [00:22] okay thanks pelo, hopefully I wont have to come back [00:22] what dil?

I think it's possible, however.

[01:11] akuma55, read the raid page on wikipedia [01:11] Animortis =( [01:11] I was only able to install it through apt-get on a terminal.

[01:13] PhilcoBill: swapped around? [01:13] compu, and if it is a cli app you can only start it from the terminal, it won't show up in the menu [01:13] so what is an 'application' from the perspective of the ubuntu package repository? [01:13] ha, thank you! [01:13] Flannel yes [01:13] I didn't know that. [01:13] 4 days to UBUNTU 8.04. cool [01:13] so the ubuntu gui package manager only covers for gui apps?

[01:17] But when I boot up, it goes back [01:17] This makes me sad. my system won't let me create a symbolic link on my USB flash drive [01:17] This started today [01:17] PhilcoBill: What version of Ubuntu are you running?

[01:33] Shpook, yes it is , ask in #ubuntu+1 how [01:33] Shpook sudo of course [01:33] Pelo, I was hoping to avoid that... [01:34] Thank you everyone. :-) [01:34] is there a way to change file system format from reiserfs to ext2 without losing my data? [01:34] carlomagno, well you can always try to boot the recovery mode, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , there is probably an option to reinstall but I don'T know what it is [01:35] sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [01:35] pen, don'T beleive so , ext2 to ext3 yes but not reiser I don'T think [01:35] Pelo, I tried that but for some reason my network interface is disabled; I can only see lo. [01:35] :) [01:35] gogeta, no reinstall command [01:35] carlomagno, lovely [01:35] Pelo err there is [01:35] gogeta, man apt-get [01:36] Simple question: apache starts as root, its child processes run as "User" and "Group" specify in httpd.conf. How do I get apache to start as a user other than root? [01:36] pelo apt-get --reinstall install gdm [01:36] i did have the syntext worng [01:36] I'm assuming root is necessary for port 80? [01:36] gogeta, that's hat I meant by option [01:36] Pelo: I'm just curious. I tried reiser, it's fine. But is it better than ext3 overall? [01:36] Stupid question: how do I set kde as my default window manager from the command line? === lordmetroid__ is now known as LordMetroid [01:36] hey everyone i'm having some trouble with GRUB. i'm able to boot using the 2.6.24-12-server kernel but when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-16-server kernel I get an error 24 (Attempt to access block outside partition) and when I try to boot from the 2.6.24-15-server kernel I get an error 16 (Inconsistent file structure). e2fs says disk is clean. Any ideas what's wrong? [01:37] Does anyone know of a *working* Pandora program or something, equivalent to OpenPandora for Windows (which I can't get running under Wine)? [01:37] Pelo but i did knoe there was a command :P [01:37] pen, ext3 is the current linux default from most distros, stuff like reiser as far as I undertand are more specialty FS [01:37] It seems excessive to open up Firefox just for Pandora. [01:37] gogeta, sigh [01:37] ChaosTheory^, what is pandora ? [01:38] Pelo, it's internet radio. [01:38] ok i got a huge problem...

Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [01:39] i have two wlan devices - wifi0 and wlan0. i suppose it's both orinoco and hostap being loaded. i cannot connect to wpa network. anybody know how do disactivate?

It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [01:40] Pelo: be in? [01:41] gradin, odd , do you actulay see the second drive ? [01:41] icesword: do you want to switch to xfs? [01:41] fdisk sees the second drive but doesn't see the partition on the second drive... [01:41] no, i don't think so [01:42] I have no sound in my system and I just checked the alsa mixer and nothing is muted, I checked my hardware and it's all installed correctly, and I just ran the alsa mixer script with this output (http://pastebin.ca/990168 [01:42] ) I still get no sound. Can someone please help? [01:42] icesword: ok [01:42] Pelo, so I couldn't get Flash to work in Opera.

[01:43] ChaosTheory^, should be easy enough, try doing a forum search with "opera flash" I'm betting there is a simple solution [01:43] * ChaosTheory^ <3s nAIM and Lynx. Would use a pdf viewer in Terminal if he could. -_- [01:43] icesword: I'm thinking whether I should switch back from reiserfs to ext3 [01:43] ALPSINC__, man iptables === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:43] Pelo: ok, lots of errors, but here's the lshw -C network http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63790/ [01:44] SeaPhor, for the last time , I cannot help you with this , I don'T know how [01:44] pen, why? i would say just stick to one, debianers said the reiserfs is not bad [01:44] I'm very sorry to bother you gentleman, can I please receive help on my sound issue?

Wine often breaks [03:51] I can see that [03:51] jgt157 it being hardy [03:51] thank you IcemanV9 [03:52] jgt157, please ask in the hardy room [03:52] sjxlinux - cool [03:52] Lempfac1: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [03:52] there's a hardy room?

[03:52] Hey nickrud goodevening [03:52] is there a way i can reautoconfigure xorg so the failsafe devices go away all at once? [03:52] i uninstalled xserver-xorg [03:53] should i put it back on? [03:53] Ohio [03:53] Lempfac1: yes :) [03:53] Lempfac1 generally a good idea ;) [03:53] how do i change my nick to lamer? [03:53] okay, it worked before i had that isntalled [03:53] Presley /nick lamer [03:53] Presley: /nick lamer [03:53] i am using kubuntu 7.10 cant get my screensaver to work any ideas? [03:53] sorry im a complete ubuntu noobie [03:53] that aint working its my alias that is bugging me [03:53] narothepharoh try #kubuntu, they pay more attention to kde [03:54] naro: could answer that for gnome :P [03:54] nickrud there is nobody answering there either [03:54] narothepharoh, pls explain...did u get any error message??

(i have already done fsck)? [03:54] Lempfac1 don't worry about breaking your system ;) Keep your home backed up, and break to learn, it's a classic method [03:54] simtower, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res. Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults [03:54] sjovan: what's another one that will let me use the mouse, instead of just arrows??? [03:55] Jack_Sparrow: he uninstalled xserver-xorg [03:55] now what? [03:55] ragsagar: it choses and previews fine just but when screensaver kicks in the screen goes blank with nothing?

[03:56] bad xorg configuration [03:56] :) [03:56] ragsagar it is kubuntu [03:56] Ah, sorry I misread [03:56] I've changed the distributor-logo.png file that was in /usr/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/48x48/places/distributor-logo.png [03:57] but it still shows the default ubuntu icon in the Applications menu bar ... any ideas? [03:57] !pinning [03:57] Lempfac1: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ? [03:57] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [03:57] crackhead: i'm sorry. i don't know of any term.thing that you can use your mouse on. anyways... what can you use that for? you can't use the mouse over ssh anyways, and i guess that's the reason you want a browser right? === talcite__ is now known as Talcite [03:57] does chris pirillo have some kind of wimpy office now?

[03:57] cirkit_, IT was designed specifically to make it hard to remove the ubutnu logo from that menu [03:57] says /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: - is not installed [03:57] Jack_Sparrow: thank you, visual effects are back [03:58] simtower, glad to help [03:58] ouellettesr_, generic keyuboard doesnt work.. the special function/media keys aside [03:58] uh oh :) [03:58] sjovan: solution? :) [03:58] Talcite seems to be half-down: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [03:58] latitu,yeah i think u have to give dd if=/media/sd** of=filename.iso becareful while using it [03:58] Lempfac1: what happens when you use synaptic to try and install xserver-xorg ? === Pensa`MIA is now known as Pensacola [03:59] Jack_Sparrow, oh i didnt see generic as an option [03:59] its installed, i was mistaken i never uninstalled it [03:59] it was a different package i removed [03:59] nickrud, they use a link to hide the true location of the logo [03:59] Is there any tool available to convert to/from Windows linebreaks? [03:59] Lempfac1 install debconf [03:59] ouellettesr_, use generic and then [03:59] !keys [03:59] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

[03:59] ragsagar why carefl? [04:00] cdm: sed and vi can do conversions too [04:00] cdm10, thers dozens of converters and scripts out to do that task. :) [04:00] already on there nickrud [04:00] Dr_willis, No, not using a link is hard.. just how they used it to hide the real logo [04:00] carefukl while giving if and of [04:00] crackhead: yes i have :) that would never work. cause no terminal based browser suports java and all that crap. you need to telnet your router. log in with ssh on your remote computer, then ---> telnet ip.for.router [04:00] otherwise it will screw ur partition :D [04:00] sjovan: explain?? :) [04:00] Lempfac1 an interesting way to break your system ;) [04:00] Lempfac1: see if dpkg-reconfigure is installed [04:00] Jack_Sparrow, uhh..ok.. :) if you say so.. [04:00] Jack_Sparrow, thanks but it wont work as i expect, i still could select such package for upgrade in aptitude [04:00] i installed a compwiz [04:00] what is the program gtk-gnash? [04:00] that do anything? [04:00] tiocsti: I was thinking of just writing a quick script, but it seems like a waste if I can just install it. [04:01] compiz* [04:01] compizconfig-settings-manager to be more specific [04:01] or how can I tell what gtk-gnash is? [04:01] how can I update open office to 2.4 ?? [04:01] Lempfac1 no, that wouldn't remove debconf [04:01] Dr_willis, please supply a tutorial or a link to a script that will do it [04:01] crackhead: i just did.... connect to your remote computer with ssh. after you have loged in to the computer (username and pasword). use the command telnet [04:02] and how can I update gnome if its not latest version [04:02] anyway to see a history of installed/removed packages? === gebeleizis_ is now known as gebeleixis [04:02] Lempfac1 /var/log/dpkg [04:02] mad_max02, safer to stick with the tested version in the repos === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [04:02] sjovan: it said connection refused?? [04:02] Lempfac1, you can get a list of installed packages. [04:02] Jack_Sparrow, im too busy doing other wiki pages.. go for it. [04:02] mad_max02 each version of ubuntu comes with the new gnome, one reason it's a 6 month cycle [04:03] i found it [04:03] Dr_willis, you are the one that said it was easy.. I will wait [04:03] its a brand new install [04:03] crackhead: you are useing putty right? [04:03] sjovan: im in my remote desktop. it has the router. i do telnet 192..1.. and then it says connection refused.. [04:03] im using an xterm console window [04:03] Jack_Sparrow: Didn't work, and I even tried doing a sudo apt-get remove pidgin and It's still messed up [04:03] * nickrud changed that logo with a theme, but it was a couple years ago ... [04:03] nickrud, so you think I should wait for hardy to be released and then do a fresh install ?? [04:03] eltux, THe downside of compiling yourself.. [04:03] Jack_Sparrow, you are the one saying following a link is hard.. but whatever.. i dont use gnome. Have fun. Working on a jwm wiki tutorial at the moment. [04:03] all i did was install the driver from restricted packages and it worked fine [04:03] mad_max02 or do an upgrade with upgrade-manager [04:03] sjovan: im using a local ubuntu machine. i have a remote kubuntu machine. im ssh'd into the remote. [04:04] nickrud, I dont know if that will work out of the box [04:04] Jack_Sparrow: ah well, I'll be redoing my computer soon anyway so no real worries, 8.04 is upon us [04:04] Lempfac1: in synaptic go to file>History [04:04] then i installed xserver-xgl and a compiz pack then hit ctrl alt backspace [04:04] !ot > Dr_willis [04:04] since then it ruined my resolution [04:04] mad_max02 it's supposed to, part of the design philosophy. Very important that it work [04:04] Lempfac1: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:04] i removed the two installed packs and restarted to no avail [04:04] crackhead: are you shure that you got the ip right? ifconfig and paste it on www.pastebin.com [04:04] !ot | Jack_Sparrow :) [04:04] Jack_Sparrow :): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:04] yea said that dpkg wasn't installed [04:04] yeah i know i got the ip right [04:04] and i don't see it in packages [04:04] Dr_willis, pm please [04:04] now now Jack_Sparrow Dr_willis don't be setting bad examples :) [04:05] narothepharoh, ur kde version?? [04:05] crackhead: that's wierd... maby you have to spesify the port. it's prob port 22 [04:05] nickrud, heh :) ok. off to work on my wiki. [04:05] i think [04:05] cant select case in koverartist in ubuntu. any ideas? [04:05] Dr_willis see you around [04:05] enough is enough if he wont listen or read [04:05] if i dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip > /home/hda1.bin.gz , it will copy data including freespace too or just files ? [04:05] Lempfac1: see if dpkg is installed [04:06] goood bye [04:06] latitu, i think dd wont include free space,did u try the command i said! === billisnice___ is now known as billisnice [04:06] lat: dd doesnt know anything about filesystems, its just a raw copy, so it'd be everything [04:07] its in [04:07] ragsagar i want to backup / [04:07] just the main dpkg pack or all of em? [04:07] Does anyone know how to get the codes for the email and bluetooth buttons on the Acer Travelmate 250? [04:07] ragsagar i want to backup / not other partitions [04:07] Lempfac1: just the main afaik [04:07] crackhead: nope, you don't have to spesify the port for the router. you prob type in the wrong adress [04:07] most of the times, dd for backups isnt what you want [04:07] how is it not installed then if it clearly is :P grrr [04:07] anyone using koverartist and running ubuntu [04:08] tar tends to be a better choice for backups (or dump) [04:08] ooh! [04:08] ragsagar dd copies every block on the harddisk. It knows nothing about the fs on it. So you get an exact copy of the partition including the data in free space [04:08] btw people... how can you get the information of the localgateway in linux? you know like... ipconfig in windows [04:08] mechdave start xev , put the mouse in the little window and press the key . If you get no output, it'll have to be done on the console [04:08] sjovan: is there any way i can forward just one program thread that is running on the remote to local display somehow?? [04:08] hello [04:08] sjovan: and skip the whole desktop.. [04:09] nickrud, cheers will try [04:09] there is a python code for backing up as tar.gz [04:09] Can anyone show me how to get ndiswrapper drivers to work with WPA PSK? [04:09] crackhead: you have to open up some ports on your router to do that sorry (or i don't know a way) [04:09] sjovan: i have some ports open [04:09] pretender: what is your issue with koverartist? and #kubuntu might be of more help [04:09] 22/21.. and 53something.. i can find out.. [04:09] with some modification we can make it withdifferent xtensions! [04:10] i mean, im logged in through ssh on one of those ports.. via the router.. [04:10] maybe 20? [04:10] sjovan: you know? [04:10] i want my resolution back! i was reading some forum posts because my text was fuzzy and tried a few things but nothing i'd tihnk would mess this up [04:10] crackhead, apt-get install openssh-server [04:10] ok good [04:10] hello :D [04:10] crackhead, default port is 22 [04:10] crackhead: yeah, then you can use putty to forword x. you just have to do some tunneling. google putty vlc tunnel or something like that [04:10] forward your router to that machine with 22 open [04:10] nickrud, Ok no go, any tutorials that you know of that I can follow for hot key enabling? [04:10] Monobi: what you mean [04:10] what's the command to scan an image from command line from a local scanner? [04:10] im using fglrx if that means anything to you militant [04:10] crackhead, rtfm [04:11] crackhead: but why can't you telnet? i'm shure you got the adress wrong. all routers that i know of have telnet suport [04:11] Monobi: rtfm is not an acceptable answer in here. if you wish to help then help but dont be rude about it [04:11] read the friendly manual? [04:11] :| [04:11] :) [04:11] Monobi: right now i am ssh'd into remote machine. probably through port 20. or 22. whatever default. i can access command console on remote. i can run x11vnc which sets up stuff on the remote. however when i use xvncviewer on the local, i can't get it to connect to the remote.. probably because a differnet port needs to bre open.. and i forgot to open it.. [04:11] VoidedCheck, ding [04:11] capiCrimm: port 21 in fact [04:11] crackhead, in that case, I have no clue [04:12] I thought you needed help setting it up [04:12] sjovan: see my situation there.. [04:12] Anyone know of any tutorials that I can follow for hot key enabling? [04:12] crackhead: port 21 in fact, and as i have said many times. telnet the router and open the port. [04:13] crackhead: if you can't get to the router with telnet, then you got the wrong adress [04:13] on travelmate 250 [04:13] sjovan: yeah i tried. maybe the router closd off for a few minutes or something automaticall? i dont kno why it would do that, but maybe it did.. if i can't get into router, then you think there is a way to just forward one program thread, through putty? why would i use putty on a ubuntu machine? isnt that only windows? [04:13] crackhead: that i'm pritty shure of [04:13] theres a unix port of putty, dont know what state its in though [04:13] crackhead: nwm minde putty... [04:14] latitu zip -qr '%s' %s" % (target, ' '.join(source)) [04:14] crackhead: i was up in the same situation as you some time ago. then i was on a windows box. that's the reason i talked about putty [04:14] ragsagar whats that [04:14] crackhead: but any ways... if you got some other ports open, why don't you just change the port on the vnc server then? [04:14] problem solved... [04:15] that is the command to put the files in a zip archive [04:15] where target is filename.zip [04:15] ragsagar: is there a reason you're mixing shell and python? :P [04:16] crdlb...be patient [04:16] i was talking abt python with him [04:17] we can tar also instead of that [04:17] how to completely check a partition? [04:17] how to completely check a partition? ext3 [04:18] crackhead: if you got an idee what ports that are open on your router and not in use.... run lynx, go to the site www.canyouseeme.org and check if the port is open. if it is, then change the port to that port on vlc server [04:18] latitu: fsck.ext3? [04:18] Lynet it will check bad sectors too? [04:19] crackhead: cant you just use ssh port forwarding to tunnel the vnc port through port 22 if ssh is open [04:19] latitu: dd if=/dev/partition of=/dev/null === foibles is now known as jazzles [04:22] is there a ubuntu server chat room? === jullie is now known as Ce_eXemPhe_fz [04:22] !ubuntu server [04:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:22] !ubuntuserver [04:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:22] xinel: not that i know of :) [04:23] roflol.. unetbootin.

If the drive discovers that it has problems reading a block it will either remap it (if it is recoverable) or you get an error (if it is unrecoverable). [04:25] hello === cE_eXEmPhe_fz is now known as cE_eXEmPhe_aJJ [04:26] ragsagar I want to check everything. files badsectors. etc [04:26] So I can't play .wma's on Ubuntu [04:26] Or MP3's [04:26] in fact, nothing will play :( [04:26] something about codecs [04:27] same here seventeen [04:28] found the room ubuntu-server [04:28] nobodies home but :P [04:28] how do I view hidden files again in nautilus? [04:29] Joeseph: ctrl-h [04:29] Joeseph: view, show hidden files [04:29] thank you [04:29] hmm, I think I found the answer on the wiki [04:29] xinel: hepp hepp :) [04:30] is the .trash folder located somewhere different on hardy? I can't find it and nautilus is failing to delete a file in it :/ [04:30] c0Ld: ~/.trash [04:30] latitu, Try fschk command [04:30] sjovan: that's where i looked first ;/ [04:30] c0Ld, i was thinking it was in .local/share/Trash/ [04:30] ragsagar complete command to check evertying [04:31] will 8.04 change anymore? i'm still waiting for 4 days.. but i also can't wait [04:31] #/sbin/e2fsck for checking errors [04:31] but u shoiuld be in init 1 for tat command [04:31] sjovan: is there a better, more advanced terminal based internet browser than lynx? lynx almost did the trick, but not quite.. [04:32] fsck.ext3 -c , checks a ext3 filesystem, and checks for badblocks as well it seems. [04:32] crackhead: what trick? [04:33] sjovan: i got into the router admin page with lynx. and i navigated to the right section, and i made the right change. it's just when i clicked apply, it loads a url that says merely continue.. and it didnt seem to work, that one page.. but that' snot javascript.. so i dont know why it wouldnt .. i just want to try another advanced terminal based internet browser, if you know of one [04:33] crackhead: you might try links [04:33] hi i'm new user of ubuntu [04:33] Lynet: already did.. which is another one? [04:35] crackhead: Lynx, links and w3m are the 3 I know of. [04:35] crackhead: well... as i told you before. all the terminal browser got issues with java as far as i know. google, but i doubt that you will finde one that works. telnet is still the way to go, or as another person talked about. tunneling the port of vnc server trough ssh. don't know how to do that btw... google ssh tunneling. or as i said... use one of the open ports that you talked about. why do you need vnc anyways? === FliesLikeABrick_ is now known as FliesLikeABrick [04:36] why do you all choose gnome over kde ? [04:36] should i wait 4 more days to install 8.04? [04:36] gnome is more light-weight [04:36] devin_, we 'all' dont. :) [04:36] LainIwakura: I think you should [04:36] Iced_Eagle: so changes are still being made? [04:36] No hurry, at least on my end :) [04:36] devin_: because the suport on kubuntu isn't that good and that kde looks like crap in general [04:36] alright [04:36] devin_, iam a kde user! :P [04:37] not exactly sure, but if it's labeled as an RC, still treat it as one :) [04:37] sjovan: check this out.. http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ in rx11vnc.pl.. apparently he wrote something to try that? do you understand how to do it?? [04:37] Dr_willis which do you prefer? [04:37] sjovan, kde looks like crap :o [04:37] devin_, depends on what machine i am on, and what tasks i am doing. I have jwm set up on my laptop how i like it. [04:37] devin_, install the other desktops, window managers, and try them out. Use what you like. [04:38] can anyone correct me, but is it correct in saying that if you start with an Ubuntu beta version and just keep updating it, by the time it releases it becomes 100% identical to the final release? [04:38] just want to get my facts straight :) [04:38] Iced_Eagle, thats how its supposed to work [04:38] coolio [04:38] when Hardy is released I'm going to make my laptop dual-boot [04:38] well i went from gnome to kde but i'm thinking i made a bad move idk which i like more. [04:38] sjovan: you see? [04:38] devin_, use one for a week, then switch for a week. then try some others for a week. [04:39] devin_, its not like its hard to change from one to the other. [04:39] devin_ what could you posibly like about gnome? [04:39] in wget, there's a nice status bar. is there a utility that will show a status bar when i'm copying large files? thanks. [04:39] lain, i think dialog can display such bars [04:39] nxusr i like its ugly funk [04:40] crackhead: sorry, i did try to tunnel when i had the same problems as you (i needed to open a port for my music server), with ssh command and putty, but didn't get it to work. my solution was telnet [04:40] tiocsti: thanks [04:40] I just upgraded to 8.04 and my /home drive won't mount. Boot says "No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hdb1" I think maybe my /etc/fstab is wrong. Any ideas? [04:40] hey, how do open that command line or whatever [04:40] to put in codes to fix shit [04:40] stuff* [04:40] crackhead: any ways... vnc sucks teh balls. use nx client/server if you really need it... [04:41] sjovan: what you mean [04:41] crackhead: just what i said... vnc sucks teh balls. slow and generaly crap. nx is much bether, but i don't se why you need it... [04:41] Dr_willis how do i switch from different desktops without caring ones baggage [04:42] ##linux [04:42] ##windows [04:42] #bash [04:42] devin_, the gdm/kdm/whatever login screen has a menu to let you pick what windowmanager/desktop to use. [04:42] Seventeen: applications ---> accessories ---> terminal [04:42] when hardy is released..can the upgrade be selected in Synaptic Package Manager or does it have to be burned [04:43] devin_, install kubuntu-desktop, and ubuntu-desktop, then on the login screen pick kde or gnome to boot to what one you want to use that time [04:43] biabia: when it's ready you can just do: system ---> admin ---> update manager [04:43] Dr_willis hmm interesting .. [04:44] is there a command to restart my sound controller or whatever it is thats causing VLC and Amarok not play, but allowing XMMS and Naotun to work? [04:44] sjouvan thanks, and awesome [04:44] biabia: hepp, np :) [04:45] if i originally installed ubuntu, then the kde and xfce desktops...can i remove the gnome and kde desktop and just keep xfce? its the only one i ever use [04:45] bia: yeah [04:45] yeah [04:46] ok. i wasnt sure if somehow it would bork my whole install [04:46] hey i just installed hardy and for some reason mp3's wont play, i installed ubuntu-restricted-drivers and still nothing. every player says playing but the progress bar is not moving. Any ideas what i should do? [04:46] nah only difference between verious buntus is the default packages afaik [04:46] u can just set it so that u use it every time u login [04:46] sigh [04:47] now i have to go through this again [04:47] i have been working a lot in ubuntu in safe mode (with only a cli) and for some reason it doesnt accent ctrl key. which sucks when i do a ping to test something and i have to do a hard reboot. what can i do [04:47] accept* [04:47] any ideas? [04:47] Dapper Drake can see my wacom and i can use it [04:47] but GIMP wont recognise its pressure sensitivity [04:47] whats annoying me on kde is whatever my mouse hovers over its selecting it and messing up when i type where do i disable this feature? [04:47] elp im trying to setup the talk terminal prog , and i installed talk, now it says No talk daemon on linuxbox [04:48] what do i do?

[04:49] screen is printing ESC (\033) as a greater than or equal to symbol in hardstatus on my friend's ubuntu box, any idea why that would be? they work fine on my gentoo boxes for passing terminal titles and things [04:49] devin_: go to a kde channel or kubuntu, maby more awnsers there :) [04:49] Anyways, I am following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593348 [04:49] And.. when I get to the part to extract the driver "sudo m-a build,install fglrx-kernel" [04:49] The kernel thing [04:49] It fails in the middle of the operations [04:49] any help? [04:50] Sajuukkhar, i had to configure gimp to enable the presure senecsitivy fetures in the gimp settings tools. [04:50] guys? [04:50] how do i get the talk daemon to start? [04:50] anyone? [04:50] please [04:50] how do i do tallk prog in bash? [04:50] Hello.. anyone? [04:51] yeah! [04:51] enable talkd in inetd.conf, although i dunno if the daemon comes in base [04:51] you can also use write(1) in a pinch, no daemon needed (local machine only though) [04:51] and hwo did u do that willis? [04:52] talk - Chat with another user - seens to be the console client for talk. [04:52] how i get ytalk to work [04:52] in bash? [04:52] I have been trying to get my ATI drivers to work, and this is my 5th reformat in 6 days.. Anyways, I am following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593348 , because I have used about every other one.. Anyways, after I extract the ATi drivers, I go to extract the kernel "sudo m-a build,install fglrx-kernel" it fails in the operation.. can anyone help me? [04:52] anyone smart? [04:53] list [04:53] Auctionedllama: qoute: "THIS IS NOT FOR THE NOOB --experts only ---WARNING--- no warranties or guaranty THIS IS HOW I GOT IT TO WORK and aiglx is SWEET---- may not work for you" <--- why don't you just stick to the easy way instead of playing with the kernel and stuff (don't really know what you are doing)? i sugest you go to a compiz channel and ask them how to get things working with your card. [04:53] Sajuukkhar, in the gimp menus/settings area.. File -> perferances -> input devices.. Assuming the thing is correctly configured in your xorg.conf to sent the pressure info. [04:53] opps sorry [04:53] ColdBeer: the ytalk server or client? [04:53] any one know a good deal about nvidia-drivers? [04:53] onan [04:53] ahh it doesnt see it [04:53] sjovan, I don't consider myself a noob after all that I've been through [04:53] sjovan, but I have literally, tried almost every other guide [04:53] ytalk server [04:53] devin: try look in settings | settings manager | windows manager>focus or window manager tweaks [04:53] sjovan, I have been at this for 6 days [04:54] my buddy logs in and we chat is there something better than write in bash? [04:54] whats the point running compiz or beryl? [04:54] 6 days? [04:54] can anyone help me? i recently installed hardy heron and i cant play mp3s. I installed the appropriate codecs and still nothing [04:54] Auctionedllama: no, i don't think you are... because you are running gentoo :) but still... it's prob a easy fix for your problem [04:54] just to look nice? [04:54] Daemonus, fancy eye candy. and a few nice useability features [04:54] Daemonus that would be up to you [04:54] Daemonus, my wife likes the zoom feature. [04:54] I am running gentoo because I just reformatted 2 seconds ago [04:54] yeah ok [04:54] Auctionedllama: what is your problem btw?

[04:56] does the ultrabay eject not work with anyone else? I can't find the file /proc/acpi/ibm/bay, which means I can't eject it [04:56] is there a command to restart my sound controller or whatever it is thats causing VLC and Amarok not play, but allowing XMMS and Naotun to work? it happens every so often [04:56] but i dont want to have to reboot everytime [04:57] Auctionedllama compile drivers from ati using the guide run fglrxconfig reboot [04:57] sjovan, yes 7.10, and first time it was blackscreen, I formatted, second time I got right resolution, no accelration, so i formatted, 3rd time, basically same thing, 4th time I got compiz running, but still no accelration, so formmated, just bkac now [04:57] Auctionedllama gets you newer then the gusty stuff [04:57] gogeta, wait do what?

[05:50] Natef I wouldnt for the fact you might need to use windows for at least something [05:50] , i hate the edition of windows we have now anyway [05:50] fairyeneried lol you need that for the gui unless you wanna use the console + framebuffer [05:50] fairyeneried: xserver-xorg is required for all desktop environments [05:50] lempface yes it shoudl be sudo ndiswrapper -r [05:50] i believe [05:50] i dont think ill need it for later, cause i also have a personal laptop running cracpy vista [05:51] i can try removing and reinstalling [05:51] im starting to think that xorg.conf just wasn't made for dual monitors [05:51] lempface try that [05:51] NateF: If you install windows later, you'll need to repair grub before you can use linux again, windows breaks it.

[06:27] yes [06:27] [Rendering] What does '8' in 'type_size = 8' (for example in System > Prefeences > Appearance > Fonts > Applications) mean for a LC display? [06:27] I tried it tmonger .. but it doesn't do anything .. [06:27] guys there's a chanel with help on servers? [06:27] ubuntu-server? [06:27] iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp -i eth1 -d 192.168.1.213 --dport 162 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.250:162 ? [06:27] it'll be small [06:27] fairyeneried, depends on the specific issue i imagine also. [06:28] are u sure melbourne? [06:28] so how is everybody doing with Hardy?? [06:29] oh wow banned for 16 mins on hardy channel for saying "fuck" [06:29] damn prudes [06:29] I just installed it and so far all is looking good [06:29] congrats VoidedCheck [06:29] ty ty [06:29] VoidedCheck: Watch your language, please. [06:29] got banned from offtopic for bringing up my medical prescribed pot habit [06:29] so anyone want to kick me in the butt with if i'm forwarding this port correctly, cause the application hasn't recieved any data yet :( [06:30] bullgard4, at this point I couldn't care less [06:30] VoidedCheck, you've been banned from +1 and -offtopic, you're well on your way to this channel too [06:30] ok [06:30] ok, i'm now able to install a simple xserver core [06:30] why? [06:30] what the fuck [06:30] but i need a small lightweight praphic environment to work in [06:31] any idea? [06:31] fairyeneried, You have allready installed fluxbox.. you have one. [06:31] fluxbox was tiny [06:31] * kittykitty echo's [06:31] fairyeneried: flux is nice [06:31] dang [06:31] xfce is nice too [06:31] dmsuperman, why? [06:31] i was installing flux but it does not work [06:32] xfce is the one used in xubuntu, it isn't? [06:32] fairyeneried, 'define does not work' - it gives you a very minimal desktop.. thats all it does [06:32] flux doesn't "appear" to work till you actually add something to it, i think you get like one window with the default [06:32] a real reason please, not this "think of the children!" crap [06:32] fairyeneried: yup, that's the one [06:32] Dr_willis i mean it does not start [06:32] fairyeneried, i though you said 'startx' worked earlier for you. [06:32] tes, but startfluxbox does not work [06:32] :( [06:32] Kitty Kitty .. Have you tried something like fire starter - http://www.fs-security.com/ [06:32] fairyeneried, that command HAS to be ran from the .xinitrc - as i said a long time ago.. several times.. :) [06:33] That may help you create some rules [06:33] firestarter is a bit complicated to set up [06:33] hehe, forgive this fool girl :"> [06:33] VoidedCheck, how about that I want to join this community to give and recieve help, not listen to you make an ass of yourself [06:33] ... then how can i add things to fluxbox? [06:33] fairyeneried, make a .xinitrc file with the 2 commands.. xterm & startfluxbox *on 2 lines* then try startx again [06:34] fairyeneried, you may want to install xterm first. 'sudo apt-get install xterm' [06:34] no i havn't MelbourneBloke, but can you look at the rule i tried to setup and tell me if it should work, cause it doesn't appear to be [06:34] where i must place this file? [06:34] dmsuperman, I've given help here if only a bit, so stick it [06:34] fairyeneried: you're a girl? thank goodness, the IRC handle had me kind of scared for a minute [06:34] fairyeneried, like all . files they go in the users home dir. [06:34] fairyeneried, with the other .whatever files. :) [06:34] .whatever, hehehe [06:34] ok ;) [06:35] ;) [06:35] I even helped someone realize that they can't access their PSU info from BIOS [06:35] dont expect fluxbox to 'do' a whole lot in any case. :) it has a little panel, and some menus. and thats it. [06:35] as silly as that sounds [06:35] VoidedCheck, i saw someone on irc DEmAND we tell him his own phone #.. since he was on dialup.. we should know what it is! [06:36] VoidedCheck, :) [06:36] it's 555-XXXX! [06:36] Sure .. whats the rule? [06:36] Is there a real small ubuntu image I can use to fix a problem? I need something as small as possible (512kbps connection), and the alternate, desktop and server images are all too big. [06:37] like debian business cards? [06:37] I don't think so, sorry [06:37] jdrake, check out 'dsl' or puppylinux for uber-small live cd's they are not ubuntu specific however [06:37] jdrake, you could use the linux recovery cd...not sure the website though [06:37] jdrake, or that. mine also wasn't ubuntu specific [06:37] why dont you search using google image search? [06:37] ... [06:37] image search? [06:37] wtf [06:38] Don't feed the trolls [06:38] jdrake: are you talking about a liveCD? use Knoppix or something like that [06:38] topic, now. [06:38] bloody read it. [06:38] the one that points me at the netherlands? [06:38] FastZ: I just need a shell with an editor and the ability to mount regular ext3 :-) [06:39] jdrake, dsl = 50mb. if thers any smaller - i dont know of them [06:39] is a firewall necessary for ubuntu? [06:39] no [06:39] evilbug, depends on what you are doing.. most likely. no [06:39] ubuntu closes ports by default [06:39] evilbug: not usually, but iptables/netfilter is installed by default [06:40] i see,thanks! [06:40] ports automatically open when something starts that requests to use that port [06:40] Dr_willis: looks good [06:40] Merci [06:40] iptables is in the kernel, no? [06:40] VoidedCheck but if he want to run server,samba,or something klike that? [06:40] VoidedCheck: it is [06:40] kernel? [06:40] VoidedCheck: iptables is in the kernel [06:40] iptables is the tool used to confiure the firewalling features of the kernel. yes. [06:41] I use a simple iptables script on my dev web servers to shut down all ports to the outside except those I really want available - and those I limit to just hte IP's that really need access to them. [06:41] ok... so i can verify that the packets are making it to my firewall but arn't getting passed through, so anyone have suggestions? [06:41] but you can compile a kernel without it or set the system to not load its modules [06:41] !iptables [06:41] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:41] eh, which distro doesnt have firewall capabilities built in? [06:42] oops nevermind misread [06:42] Starnestommy, that's a bit higher level than the vast majority of ubuntu users [06:43] VoidedCheck: there are GUIs for it and there is also the CLI 'iptables' program [06:43] How's everybody doin?? [06:46] Starnestommy, that's still a bit high-level for msot [06:46] *most [06:47] i know in the bash prompt i execute commands like gimp and then a semi colon to wait and excute another command afterwards [06:47] how do i do that in a bash script.. [06:47] most people when shown a GUI still don't know wtf a firewall (especially not a real firewall, but an ip or packet filter) is supposed todo [06:47] In hardy will be easier to work with firewall http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta [06:47] so that it executes perl ./blah.pl and then after thats done executes blah2.pl [06:48] kristopher, put a command on each line.. or do it with simicolens same as the shell. [06:48] I'm usi8ng hardy right now, and I've never seen anything like a firewall interface [06:48] except telneting into my router [06:48] kristopher, assuming your commands dont background, it shoulkd work the same way [06:48] its not waiting until the perl script finishes [06:49] kristopher: blah.pl && blah2.pl [06:49] kristopher: They work the same way [06:49] VoidedCheck :Ubuntu 8.04 Beta includes ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall), a new host-based firewall application configurable from the command line which is designed to make administering a firewall easier for end users while not getting in the way of network administrators. [06:49] kristopher: thing1.pl; thing2.pl would also work [06:49] Boohbah: no [06:49] unless thing1.pl some how spawns itself to the background and exists.. [06:49] Boohbah: that only executes blah2.pl if blah.pl exits with a successful status code [06:50] zvacet, that's nice, especially after installing hardy beta and now rc that I've never seen any config for getting my apps to communicate. [06:50] hi can i ask here about something about mysql [06:50] they just do. [06:50] then again, it was the same in gutsy and feisty. [06:50] I just don't see it. [06:51] I point the app, open my router, and presto. [06:51] vido22: sure, but #mysql is a channel just for mysql [06:51] for like 3 years now. [06:51] VoidedCheck :http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu-hardy.html [06:52] #mysql [06:53] zvacet, 404 here [06:53] VoidedCheck not for me [06:53] well obviously :) [06:54] I'll try again in a bit [06:54] Can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot a network issue? It seems that in exactly 10 minutes my network connection goes down but I'm not shure why. [06:54] there we go [06:54] It is quickly restored but it goes down 10 minutes later knocking me off SSH [06:54] VoidedCheck search the net for that topic [06:54] This occures within my LAN [06:54] kevcox_, wireless? [06:54] No [06:55] thank you whoever pointed me to the ubuntu's iptables howto, cause that was easier to understand [06:55] It's like clock work, every 10 [06:55] What does SSH say when it disconnects? [06:55] can i change the xserver to not start whenever i start the system but only when i want to use it? [06:55] ooh nice [06:55] Network Error [06:55] ty for the link zvacet [06:55] VoidedCheck yes [06:55] Software caused connection abort [06:56] VoidedCheck np [06:56] maybe i must edit the runlevel? how can i do that? [06:56] My Webmin resets too so it is the entire network === |Matt is now known as |Matt|AFK| [06:56] * |Matt|AFK| is currently away, Reason: Auto-Away after 30 minutes of idle Time is: 17:56:21 [06:56] !away > |Matt|AFK| [06:57] yeah public afk suck === |Matt|AFK| is now known as |Matt [06:58] * |Matt is back Reason: Auto-Away after 30 minutes of idle Was Gone: 1min 41secs [06:58] Are there any network logs that I could monitor? [06:58] |Matt: Please remove public auto away and away nick. [06:58] you want to monitor mine? [06:59] they're mostly... ahem, naughty sites [06:59] |Matt: Preferrably also start your nick with an alphabetic. [06:59] No, I'm trying to figure out why my network drops every 10 minutes for a second then restarts exactly every 10 minutes. [06:59] your ISP has sucky ping? [06:59] just guessing [06:59] No, this is all internal LAN [07:00] ouch [07:00] SSH drops, Webmin resets, etc. [07:00] bad NIC on the network probably [07:00] or bad huyb [07:00] *hub [07:00] Looked at all those and they seem fine. [07:01] Hey, i need help installing Ubuntu on my 2 gig flash drive, i want to install the server edition so i can install iceWM as my window manager === kadambi is now known as arvind_khadri [07:01] anyone know how to get that goin? [07:01] They only thing I've done differently was installed ddclient [07:02] anybody good at bluetooth? [07:02] if i install the 8.04 RC will I be able to upgrade to final? [07:02] anyone know how to install ubuntu on a flash drive? [07:02] nothing good about bluetooth] [07:02] shiznit yes [07:02] word, thx [07:02] VoidedCheck: I'm finding that, thx [07:03] VoidedCheck, what's your rationale for saying that? [07:03] 8.04RC will upgrade, but there might be cruft [07:03] anyone know how to make my bluetooth headset actually do something? [07:03] Zoem, do a barrel roll [07:03] Daisuke_Ido, personal experience and nothing else [07:03] Zoem, yeah, hook it up to a phone that will recognize it. [07:04] Daisuke_Ido: you are saying that there is no way to get it to work? [07:04] Zoem, just because it's bluetooth doesn't mean it's magically going to work with *anything* that supports bluetooth [07:04] i'm saying i don't know for sure one way or the other === nl|away is now known as nl [07:04] Daisuke_Ido: I got it connected [07:04] bluetooth is about as good as 802.11 [07:04] which is not very [07:04] but if you can't use a bluetooth mouse with a phone (and it will connect, but it will be useless) [07:04] hmmm [07:04] this is awesome [07:05] does ubuntu ave backtrack packages ? [07:05] Zero, sorry I got kicked off again but this will help you if you did not already get help: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [07:05] what are backtrack packages? [07:05] thanks kevcox_ [07:05] Schypher_: you mean backport [07:05] np [07:05] im trying to edit my grub but it keeps saying i dont have permission to edit it [07:05] keeps saying im not the owner [07:06] arvind_khadri: well all the tools available on backtrack distro [07:06] kevcox_, will this install the server edition? [07:06] Yes [07:06] kevcox, thanks [07:06] kevcox_, thanks [07:06] hey does anyone know if the hard drive bug in ubuntu has been resolved? [07:06] np [07:06] * Daisuke_Ido headdesks [07:06] godjr: be root [07:06] godjr sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:06] does anyone know how to make a usb headset work? [07:06] thanks [07:06] So how do I reconfigure paste so it's not Button3, but Button4 instead? :-) [07:06] arvind_khadri: I love ubuntu, but I don't want to move to backtrack just because they have all the network security tools [07:06] godjr: no, use sudo [07:06] gksudo /boot/grub/menu.1st [07:06] damn too late [07:07] this new mouse I have, when I scroll up it randomly sends a middle click sometimes...this is totally driving me mad [07:07] and I missed gedit [07:07] schypher i dont have any idea what you are talking about [07:07] btw does anyone know why gksudo is supposed to be better for gui progs than sudo? [07:07] kevcox_, hey, this wants me to reboot into a liveCD and install it that way, the server ISO has no livecd [07:07] im already in Ubuntu 7.10 right now,k will that work kevcox_ ? [07:08] arvind_khadri, apparently he didn't either [07:08] !gksu | VoidedCheck [07:08] VoidedCheck: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:08] probably a distro that installs wireshark by default [07:08] Daisuke_Ido: :) [07:08] that really has no answers [07:08] please help: using ubuntu 8.04 on a dell inspiron e1705. wireless shows available networks, but I can't connect to any of them (whether they be b or g, open or protected, WEP or WPA or WPA2). I found a few references in the forums, but nothing of use. Anyone have any ideas? [07:08] Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone knew of any software compatible with Windows Mobile phone? [07:09] !hardy | MDFrostT [07:09] MDFrostT: 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 [07:09] You'll need the LiveCD but you can use it just don't load the X Client [07:09] VoidedCheck :You should never use sudo to start graphical applications as root. You should use gksudo to run such programs (eg. ALT+F2 gksudo gedit). [07:09] why? [07:09] VoidedCheck, it has answers - using sudo for gui apps can cause issues with permissions later on [07:10] You wanna make a money easy?! Register here and EARN! http://bux.to/?r=michal_bielecki [07:10] it gives one example, and doesn't properly explain that one [07:10] VoidedCheck :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:10] I like money [07:10] Suck one, the time machine costs like 20 billion [07:10] VoidedCheck: gksudo uses the user's settings but the root account. sudo usually uses root's settings and account [07:10] MelbourneBloke, im to lazy for just 'easy' i want free money. :) [07:10] huh? [07:11] oh [07:11] I'm a bout to ge kicked off again due to my network issue that kicks me off every 10 minutes. Anyone have a suggestion for researching this issue? [07:11] interesting [07:11] help, ubuntu won't apt-get from the net, it just asks for the cd [07:12] modify your sources.conf file under apt [07:12] ripdisk [07:12] ripdisk: You can do that with the graphical tool, too. [07:12] hey does anyone have an idea if the hard disk high cycle bug has been fixed in the new release? [07:12] Kevcox: What other devices do you have on your network? [07:12] tronic, where's the graphical tool [07:12] zvacet, that last link you posted didn't even mention gksudo [07:12] ripdisk system>admin>software sources check /uncheck CD [07:13] VoidedCheck You didn´t read it all [07:13] Sorry, got kicked off again... [07:13] oh ok [07:13] cool [07:13] thanks [07:13] oh it did once [07:13] and it didn't say why [07:13] Kevox: what other devices do you have on your network? [07:14] VoidedCheck I´m awre of that [07:14] One laptop (the one I'm on), Server (LAMP w/firewall and DHCP) [07:14] And one Ubuntu Desktop [07:14] does the server also lose its connection every ten minutes? [07:15] Good question....I'll run back and kick off a continuous ping and see what happens [07:15] I was looking for a log file to see what might be happeing. [07:16] Kevox: ok thats a good idea ... something else you may want to try is plugging your laptop directly into your router [07:16] that way you can tell if its something within the network or if it is your ethernet adaptor giving you problems [07:17] router != modem [07:17] Okay, I'm using Shorewall with two NICS in the server so i assume a crossover cable is needed for this. [07:17] That was a question... :) [07:17] depends if your NICs are auto negotiate [07:17] i dont suppose anyone's attempted to use Ekiga with Cisco Call Manager? [07:18] Okay, the server loosing connection will tell me a lot so I'll start there. [07:18] hey im trying to install ubuntu 710 server to my flash drive, but i get this error when trying to copy from CD to flash drive [07:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63797/ [07:18] Did you mount the flash drive? === Lempfac1 is now known as Lemp [07:18] hello, I have started using fluxbox to conserve limited system resources, but would like to be able to have multiple sessions running at once (this is done with switch user in gnome) is there a way to start a new X session from the command line? [07:19] kevcox_, its mounted [07:19] startx terminal [07:19] kevcox_, its not seeing the stuff in my drive [07:19] Did you create the proper partitions with file system? === Lemp is now known as Lemface [07:19] zero, the 'pendrivelinux' web site has a lot of tutorials on doing that sort of thing. They may have a guide for you to follow [07:19] terminal being the terminal you want it to start on === Lemface is now known as Lempfac1 [07:20] thanks Dr_willis [07:20] VoidedCheck: ok, so, just a number? 1-12, like the function keys that I would use to switch with? [07:20] thanks kevcox_ , my bad i suck [07:20] brb, I'm about to get kicked off again so I have to check my server to see what it is doing.... [07:20] not quite [07:20] I forgot the details being a long time since I ran more than one x, but it's all in the docs [07:21] or google for "multiple x" or smth === Lempfac1 is now known as Lempface [07:21] VoidedCheck: cool, am reading manpage now. thanks. [07:21] Hmm xinit :2 or somtning like that i recall.. [07:21] I forget how also. :) [07:21] yeah I remember smth with a colon [07:22] not too helpful I know, sorry [07:22] sudo xinit -- :2 [07:22] :) [07:22] but that ran it as root... doh [07:22] note the 2 dashes.. [07:23] (in case your font shows them as 1 long dash, its actually 2 dashes) [07:23] Dr_willis ? [07:23] that would be one crappy font === cricket[] is now known as cricket[ [07:23] VoidedCheck, seen it be an 'issue' befor. [07:24] there's an alternative to ubuntu-desktop? i need to setup gnome and the basic onfiguration programs, but i don't need gimp or openoffice === cricket[ is now known as cricket[b] [07:24] uninstall them? [07:24] fairyeneried, fire up the package manager and install what you want. [07:25] install server ubuntu and install only what you want from that through apt? [07:25] fairyeneried, thats why we suggested xubuntu-desktop earlier. :) a smaller 'desktop' with most of the extra programs you may want [07:25] install slackware? lol jk [07:26] slackware? [07:26] no no [07:26] ubuntu === vova_kubba[Away] is now known as vova_kubba [07:26] hi all ;) [07:26] hullo [07:26] Has anyone tested Ubuntu 8.04 RC on the EeePC? [07:26] hi, what it means if i get this error when i ake apt-get update W: Failed to fetch http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/source/Sources.gz Hash Sum mismatch [07:27] my buddy did [07:27] he barely got it working [07:27] !eeepc [07:27] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [07:27] he has the Surf [07:27] 2GB hd [07:27] simion314: try running "sudo apt-get update" and try again. [07:27] it runs, but not well [07:28] anyone use IDLE for ubuntu? [07:28] the Xandros OS is actually pretty nice [07:28] Faireneried .. try and use sudo apt-get remove gimp [07:28] once you cut the kiddy interface [07:28] simion314 or in system>admin>software sources put to main server [07:30] does anyone know how to find the specific processor type (ie athlon64) of a machine (more than just arch.) from within linux? [07:31] dmesg [07:31] Hello all. I still have an issue with my new 226bw samsung with nvidia drivers. The issue is that there is an intermittened 'flash' where the screen drops to black and pops back up witha mesage from the monitor saying 'warning, non optimum settings, settings should be 1680x1050 60 hz' which is waht I have got it set to. I have discovered one interesting line in my Xorg.0.log " see here for output. http://pastebin.com/m33daa899 [07:31] where is situated relolv.conf? [07:31] If I use the 'nv' driver it runs beautifully. [07:32] you might want to expand your cli buffer before running dmesg [07:32] nvidia driver is OK but blinks, drops out or whatever every now and then [07:32] question about dual-booting on a dell with XP [07:32] vova_kubba /etc/resolv.conf [07:32] thanks [07:32] narg: try "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [07:32] Narg:: or you can try more /proc/cpuinfo [07:33] more is less :) [07:33] ah, exactly what I wanted. Thanks. [07:33] is the closed nvidia driver barred in 8.04beta ? [07:33] but most beats them both ;) [07:33] By dual-booting, would nothing from Windows be used when Ubuntu is running, thus having the advantage of using an OS that requires far less resources (memory/cpu) than Windows XP? I would obviously be sacrificing the hard drive space used by Windows but, since this laptop will be used primarily for surfing, the need for disk space is not a concern (I'll still have several gigs remaining). Am I missing any considerations? [07:33] but none trumps them all [07:34] thats right snakeyes [07:34] hi! [07:34] so nothing from windows is used? [07:34] it is completely separate, apart from being on the same hard drive. [07:34] closed nvidia driver is available in 8.04 RC [07:34] nope [07:34] ok [07:34] how i can run a .run on ubuntu? [07:34] sweet!

[07:35] get the cd, get hardy heron CD and put it in your comp, restart. you are away! [07:35] a .run is almost always an executable script (plus a binary of some sort) [07:35] one other question... [07:35] SnakeyeS: if it's still under warranty, you might want to be careful, since the windows backup should be on its own partition (you know, the one that restores the entire windows OS in a few seconds?)

[08:02] power line adaptors... wow [08:02] And btw ntop won't start [08:02] arvind_khadri: cannot set correct resolution, tried reconfigure xserver, did not help [08:02] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63798/ [08:02] .... so no aircrack-ng users here ?

[08:05] larta: I would be surprised if ubuntu is the cause of your problems. I would be have a serious look at the power adaptors ... get a laptop and plug it into your end and see if you have the same result. [08:05] Load "extmod" to Section "Module" [08:05] zero I don´´t know [08:05] zero, ust adding a repository does nothing [08:05] *just [08:05] k, thx [08:05] kubist: ok so are your drivers installed [08:05] it's only when you install from that repository that you open yourself [08:05] I installed chromium, fluxbox and openbox [08:06] ipdated wine [08:06] VoidedCheck, yeah, i understand that much, so basically, you dont know?

I am running hardy but I dont believe it has anything to do with that so i'm writinga bout it in here. Ubuntu uses a LOT of power. my laptop got around 3,5-4 hours on minimum settings in KDE, [08:23] Have you tried any other torrent clients? [08:23] dude_: on which partition do you have ubuntu?? [08:23] and now it gets 2.5 hours max in gnome, regardless of CPU power, LCD brightness, etc. [08:23] how do you change the dir to root in the term? [08:23] why is it sucking so much juice?

[08:25] compared to deluge [08:25] duh [08:25] dude_: ok so root (hd0,0) has to work ... [08:25] sorry, man.. which two clients were you comparing [08:25] transmission and deluge [08:25] oh.. just that never heard of transmission 'til today.. doing a google.. [08:26] What programming languages or programs evaluate the statement "font-size:1.8em;"? [08:26] arvind_khadri, you're absolutely right. I'll try rebooting my system again to find out if it worked this time. [08:26] transmission is included in hardy atm [08:26] dude_: if it didnt you need to follow some more steps [08:26] Hello everyone. How can I open a compressed file with an *.ace extension? [08:27] arvind_khadri, or is there a way to find out besides restarting the machine? [08:27] dude_:nope [08:27] ok [08:27] brb [08:27] anrkey r u there [08:27] dude_: hey jus a min [08:27] unace?

[08:28] sudo apt-get unace-nonfree [08:28] dude_: nope jus mount the root partition once [08:28] ok so i type cd /root it says im in root but when i run m-a prepare it says im not in root cannot continue [08:28] what is the name of the ubuntu version that was kinda tailored for music recording purposes? [08:28] if you have the repositories enabled [08:28] unique: type 'cd /' [08:28] rewati, I have just checked and the log file is /var/log/vsftp.log on ubuntu 7.10 server [08:28] Lectrick, Ubuntu Studio [08:28] arvind_khadri, how do I mount it? just restarting the machine? [08:28] anyone else in the room got recommendations for a bittorrent client? [08:28] thanks mosno i'll check it out [08:29] dude_: nope use sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt [08:29] ok [08:29] rewati, try using filezilla, it has a log window that may give you more insight [08:29] mldonkey! (KIDDING) [08:29] rewati, sudo apt-get install filezilla [08:29] dude_: then sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:29] .

[08:30] bloated piece of shit java crap [08:30] like I said twice, transmission [08:31] arvind_khadri, that last command brought up a blank page [08:31] lectrick: m on deluge but got a prob with it [08:31] jeffimperial try transmission [08:31] VoidedCheck: if you're into gtk...

[08:31] jeffimperial, i think there is a switch for running deluge in debug mode [08:31] arvind_khadri, I sure did. it brought up a window with my stuff (on that partition) [08:32] my family uses such language all the time [08:32] lol [08:32] I could even see my files [08:32] i run a laptop from 2001 and it works for me, but i could give deluge a try [08:32] it's called communication [08:32] VoidedCheck: well its not acceptable in here, please dont use it. [08:32] dude_: ok so could you see something as boot?? [08:32] cry me a river [08:32] VoidedCheck, Well I guess your family isn't very friendly then :) [08:32] we're just not uptight [08:32] How do I make Ubuntu load a specific driver on boot? [08:32] and we are all fans of George Carlin [08:33] arvind_khadri, is it ist or Lst? on the menu.(?st) [08:33] dude_: .lst l for love s for super t for time [08:33] everything I know about dirty words I learned from Carlin [08:33] Lectrick: !ot [08:33] ok [08:33] anyone any good with cron? [08:33] kaminix, Edit the Driver "foo" line [08:34] !ot | Lectrick [08:34] arvind_khadri, yes I typed that in correctly. Should I do the grub commands again? [08:34] Lectrick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:34] Voided: Transmission looks like a good choice..though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/204184 is kinda.. u know [08:34] dude_: so what you got [08:34] kaminix, ... in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:34] kaminix, Sorry, misread, thought you said graphics driver [08:35] arvind_khadri, did you want me to list what's under /boot? [08:35] jeffimperial, on that I can only give my own anecdotal experience. It's never given me a problem, and for linux, is one of the easiest GUI apps I've used for torents. [08:35] *torrents [08:35] how can I transition from 32bit ubuntu to a 64bit ubuntu ?? [08:35] dude_: no i want you to edit the file menu.lst in /boot/grub/ [08:35] VoidedCheck +1 [08:35] ot, gotcha. Ubuntu Studio looks like it might not be for me. Can anyone suggest a good app to record to file audio input from a mix board?

[08:36] no [08:36] dude_: then do cd boot/grub/ [08:36] all 32bit aps run on 64bit [08:37] how do i browse a windows share folder on my network?

[08:37] phoenix24, of course that would depend on the progs you want to run [08:38] dude_: you need to make some change jus paste it [08:38] !paste | dude_ [08:38] dude_: 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) [08:38] but 64bit ubuntu is totally backwards compatible with 32bit sw [08:38] and that's a fact [08:38] can anyone help me figure out why "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" doesn't work in cron.daily? [08:38] but not 32 bit drivers [08:39] yeah drivers suck [08:39] thanks everyone.. laters [08:39] tiocsti: right, you need 64bit drivers for 64bit os [08:39] arvind_khadri, here ya go! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63800/ [08:39] but driver support in linux is getting better practically by the hour [08:40] someone can run guild wars on ubuntu? [08:40] how do i exit my gnome into a terminal only? [08:40] voidedcheck, amen to that [08:40] anyone? [08:40] and I'm almost sorry to say it, but we can thank Dell for a lot of that [08:40] dude_: did you copy paste completely i cant see the windows options... [08:40] onats [08:40] yes kajo? [08:40] do one of the tty terminals? [08:40] how so? dell is only shipping hardware already supported, arent they? [08:41] Kaja: ctrl + alt + f2 [08:41] kajo: ^ [08:41] arvind_khadri, that's everything [08:41] can someone help me to get guild wars working in wine? [08:41] kajo, yeah, i can do that, but i need the gnome to exit completely [08:41] My statement was @ onats. [08:41] the fact that dell is running the hw is giving a major push, especially for graphics card manufacturers, to open their source [08:41] dude_: try rebooting once i think it wil boot [08:41] sudo killall gnome? [08:41] onats: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [08:41] pstree, find gnome, and killall. [08:41] onats: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [08:41] or that^ [08:41] arvind_khadri, sure thing. BRB [08:42] lemme write those down [08:42] dude_: yep am anxious [08:42] thanks! [08:42] we'll see, i usually go with intel chipsets cuz i know they work well in linux w/o closed source drivers [08:42] starnestommy, what is invoke-rc.d? [08:42] to restart it, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [08:42] my intel chipset choked on gutsy [08:42] kajo: it calls scripts in /etc/init.d/ [08:42] worked fine on hardy though [08:42] yay for kernel improvements [08:43] brb [08:43] though now I'm running a nvidia 8600gt pci-e [08:43] just for the purdy rendering [08:44] i run ubuntu in vmware on one of my laptops, cuz not all the hardware is quite supported, its native on the other one though [08:44] gah, gotta go to bed... when I wake up and go to work tomorrow, I see if that $5000 accident cost me my job [08:45] anrkey thanx [08:45] they'd fire you over 5k?

[08:47] dude_: :) if thats readable [08:47] dude_: use the super grub its easy to setup [08:48] dude_: totally for newbies [08:48] arvind_khadri, wow, floppy based! Sweet! my cd burner is screwed so I can use that [08:48] How do I get rid of avahi messing up my wifi on boot? [08:48] dude_: happy linuxing [08:48] ok, so [08:48] "grub install (hd0) failed - this is a fatal error" - is my hard drive toast? [08:48] RenaKunisaki: grub lost??

[08:50] haha [08:50] arvind_khadri, what do you mean completely?

I'm getting compatibility errors with libstdc++. [08:51] dude_: did you find out how to do that [08:51] arvind_khadri, this is the live CD [08:51] RenaKunisaki: do the install again [08:51] arvind_khadri, I'm researching the .img extension right now [08:51] dude_: i think you need to just copy paste and then boot from the cd [08:51] i just accidently hit something to enable compiz zooming on hardy...what did I hit? I can't seem to turn it off :/ [08:52] dude_: i mean the floppy [08:52] c0Ld: try asking in #compiz [08:52] arvind_khadri, I wouldn't think so, it doesn't work that way with an .iso file, it shouldn't be the same for a floppy [08:52] bazhang: to the rescue [08:52] hi arvind_khadri ;] [08:52] bazhang: help in restoring grub [08:53] hey guys im trying to find the program gnome-art and apparently i can download it through synaptic... but i cant find it [08:53] dude_: hmm [08:53] sajuuk: that would be a website [08:54] bazhang: need help to restore grub [08:54] oh no apparently its a downloader called that same name [08:54] Hi, I had ndiswrapper working before, than it stopped (don't know why). I've followed the same tute I did earlier, but I think the problem is my network settings. Is there some easy way to make /etc/networks and /etc/network return to defaults from install? [08:54] arvind_khadri: sure what's up with grub? did you read the !grub factoid? [08:54] (without having to re-install everything) [08:54] bazhang: not me its dude_ [08:54] bazhang: we tried everything but it doesnt restore [08:55] Vini, get them from someone else?

[09:01] RenaKunisaki: do clean the disks properly...format everything [09:01] arvind_khadri, I booted a DOS disk and deleted all partitions with fdisk and then was able to create the partitions and install XP, but then this happened [09:01] I think I got the floppy made [09:01] I was right, you need special software [09:01] RenaKunisaki: might be the disk of DOS aint proper..use the live cd to format ;) [09:02] dude_: hmm njoi ;) [09:02] arvind_khadri, brb [09:02] dude_: sure [09:02] How do I force g++ to use 32bit libs?

(I am installing Ubuntu 6.06 in hurry because my Windows got screwed up. Its corrupted. And I thought its time to switch) [09:15] unique: sudo [09:15] wubi needs 256mb of memory to install. I have 128 [09:15] ty [09:15] !sudo | unique [09:15] unique: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:16] SingAlong: can you get to a terminal and run a command? if so try lspci and see what the (one line, dont paste here) card is [09:16] SnakeyeS: well either up the ram or get some really ultra-lightweight distro [09:16] bazhang: Yeah couple of minutes. My ubuntu installation is just over. Need to reboot the notebook [09:18] im not sure how happy ubuntu would be in 128m ram, might wanna use xubuntu instead [09:18] bazhang: I ran the command thru the livecd itself. I got a whole list of details [09:18] Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution dose any one know what syn that would be [09:18] what's the linux equivalent for DAEMON Tools? [09:18] xubuntu would not run; perhaps fluxbuntu [09:18] Hi [09:18] sirjulio: I have a bash script for mount iso [09:19] I installed texvc but when I run it, it says latex command not found [09:19] bazhang: I got a lot of details. About card should I look for? [09:19] SingAlong: why dont you reboot first [09:19] bazhang: yeah sure [09:19] cjk-latex is the package to be installed for latex? [09:19] !info texlive [09:19] texlive (source: texlive-base): TeX Live: A decent selection of the TeX Live packages. In component main, is optional. Version 2007-10 (gutsy), package size 14 kB, installed size 88 kB [09:19] bazhang: tried the new kernel [09:19] bazhang: while the notebook is rebooting... may I know whether its possible to sun Solidedge on Ubuntu? [09:19] atlas95: gr8, can u share? [09:20] yes [09:20] SingAlong: what is solid edge [09:20] texlive or tetex? [09:20] hi [09:20] bazhang: Solidedge is a CAD software. Like AutoCAD [09:20] anybody know a irc channel for ubuntu in spanish? [09:20] Okay, how do I blacklist three drivers, and make it autoload another one? [09:20] bazhang: Used to do all those mechanical drawing and stuff. I have it for my university [09:20] Aldenor: #ubuntu-es [09:20] thankx [09:20] SingAlong: that is windows only or linux as well [09:20] by DCC accept sirjulio [09:21] if I logon remote desktop by vnc , how to watch the remote host's current desktop ? [09:21] bazhang: Only for windows. [09:21] bazhang: I saw a lot of people asking abt running it thru Wine. [09:21] Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution dose any one know what syn that would be [09:22] SingAlong: have you checked the !appdb? /msg ubotu appdb for more info [09:22] atlas95: sry, bit of noob, DCC? [09:22] bazhang: hehehe!! Its a paid software (Hussshhhh.... everyone in our class use a pirated version) :) [09:23] SingAlong: please dont talk about that here [09:23] I up it somewhere, wait [09:23] bazhang: ok ok... But I found a better solution. Unigraphics, the company that produces Solidedge gives away a free version for 2D drawings. [09:24] bazhang: Thats what we need. [09:24] hi there [09:24] SingAlong: you can try it via wine or in a vm with windows [09:24] hola [09:24] bazhang: hmm... [09:24] is anyone using the videotrans package to make video dvds? [09:24] sirjulio: http://www.atlas95.com/fichiers/daemon-tools.sh [09:25] I can't seem to get the menu images to work. it's all black [09:25] * sirjulio: http://www.atlas95.com/fichiers/daemon-tool.sh [09:25] how can i make sure, ssh server is using the key i made with ssh-keygen? [09:25] atlas95: thnx mate [09:25] gd, vnc can be set up to share the current desktop - or create a 'hidden' virtual desktop that you can only see/connect to with a vnc client. [09:26] ;) [09:26] DOOM_NX: it'll automatically try if your ssh client offers pub key authentication [09:26] bazhang: Oops! I think I forgot the password or typed the wrong case during installation! Anyway to get that working or should I reinstall? [09:27] DOOM_NX: the public key should be in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [09:27] hello! how come i can't get my old computer to boot from the ubuntu livecd although it boots fine from a windows xp cd ? :E [09:27] hi, I decided to use tahoma font in ubuntu's menu, but font k is disorted. How can I solve that? [09:27] heikkus, give more detailas as to what it does do . when you try to boot the live cd [09:27] SingAlong: hehe; that has happened to me in the past--just try some variations and if not then boot into the live cd and change it [09:27] Or how can I disable antialias? [09:28] DOOM_NX: the public key should be in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys -> yes it's there, but how do i know if it's being used? [09:28] heikkus: you need to provide more than just bare bones info [09:28] DOOM_NX: it'll automatically try if your ssh client offers pub key authentication => i don't have a 2nd pc to test it right now [09:28] atlas95: getting a not found [09:28] DOOM_NX: if you're not asked for a password [09:28] proftpd-mysql courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-maildrop courier-pop libberkeleydb-perl libcrypt-blowfish-perl libcrypt-cbc-perl libcrypt-passwdmd5-perl libdate-calc-perl libdate-manip-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libio-stringy-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libmailtools-perl libmd5-perl libmime-perl libnet-dns-perl libnet-netmask-perl libnet-perl libnet-smtp-server-perl libperl5.8 libsnmp-session-perl libterm-readk [09:28] see anything there that shouldnt be removed ?? [09:28] bazhang: Does the liveCD have an option to change the password? [09:28] sirjulio: I verify sorry :) [09:29] SingAlong: you can do it; forgot the command offhand though [09:29] sirjulio: http://www.atlas95.com/fichiers/bin/daemon-tool.sh , sorry :p [09:29] too late :P [09:30] you can boot a live cd, then chroot into the installed system, and use the passwd USERNAME command to set a new password. is one way. rescue mode may let you do it also [09:30] hmm. it tries to boot from the cd but then just says the cd is unbootable :E i tweaked the bios so that it only boots from the cd-rom and not at all from the hard drive [09:30] heikkus, look on the cd. what files are on the cd? what program did you use to burn the iso to cd? [09:30] DOOM_NX: ssh localhost [09:31] hello all [09:31] SingAlong: look at Dr_willis's command above [09:31] please I have a question [09:31] it says [09:31] The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established. [09:31] RSA key fingerprint is e4:c0:e5:23:8c:e6:f7:98:70:08:1a:b7:85:0f:f0:90. [09:31] Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? [09:31] you're sure [09:31] i think the cd is ok cause it installed fine on my newer system [09:31] DOOM_NX: you'll get that either way the first time [09:31] Dr_willis: the command please (I m a linux noob) [09:32] ask B3NZ1N0 [09:32] !ask | B3NZ1N0 [09:32] B3NZ1N0: 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. :-) [09:32] DOOM_NX: you can remove 'localhost' from the list of known hosts afterwards if you like [09:32] it's also in ~/.ssh/ [09:32] i burned it with cdburnedxp pro at the library [09:33] SingAlong it might be faster if you just reinstall and REMBER your password then. [09:33] it's also in ~/.ssh/ -> what is there? [09:33] my mIRC is saying 4 days more to chat of because I have not registered I taught there is a way I might be able to get through to regiser so that I will not be seeing such things and I can chat with mIRC for life [09:33] SingAlong: what do you want [09:33] the key u mean? [09:33] how do i know if it's using it... cause i need to connect from winxp using putty [09:33] B3NZ1N0: switch to a linux client or pay up [09:33] SingAlong, in short. boot to recovery/rescue mode to get to a shell. mount the installed system, chroot /mountpoint, passwd username. Of course all that is total magic to you. :) but i dont know the specifcs of your system. [09:34] DOOM_NX: known_hosts. don't worry about it [09:34] arvind_khadri: I forgot the password after installation. I tried a lot of variations. Now I got it! [09:34] B3NZ1N0: use xchat ;) [09:34] DOOM_NX: if it asks for a password, it's not using the key. [09:34] B3NZ1N0, you can get a free versionof xchat for windows and dump mIRC [09:34] Dr_willis: Thank you! I tried a lot of variations and got it now! [09:34] DOOM_NX: there are howto's that explain what you have to do to get pub key auth working with putty and opensshd [09:35] SingAlong: boot into the recovery mode and add a new user [09:35] bazhang: Now I have to run lspci right? [09:35] arvind_khadri: Oh I need to keep that in mind if I forget the password again :) [09:35] SingAlong: yes and !paste the output (not here to pastebin) [09:35] !paste | SingAlong [09:35] SingAlong: 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) [09:35] learn to rember your passwords :) [09:35] DOOM_NX: you can either create a new pub key with putty or import the one you created with ssh-keygen I think [09:35] so no one can help me with the registration code nor a way to break this code? [09:35] bazhang: the factiod when calling a name doesnt work ;) [09:36] ubotu: yeah sure friend [09:36] B3NZ1N0, No. we dont care about mIRC one way or another... [09:36] B3NZ1N0: no piracy [09:36] B3NZ1N0, it has NOTHING to do with linux. [09:36] B3NZ1N0: sudo apt-get install xchat [09:36] but you are using mirc [09:36] DOOM_NX: there are howto's that explain what you have to do to get pub key auth working with putty and opensshd -> i was reading that while setting it up [09:36] B3NZ1N0, totally WRONG., we are using IRC. [09:36] B3NZ1N0, mIRC is one of MANY irc clients. [09:36] !piracy > B3NZ1N0 [09:36] slacker, i created one with ssh-keygen and imported it to putty [09:37] !irc | B3NZ1N0 [09:37] B3NZ1N0: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:37] but is the ssh server using the key? cause putty is... [09:37] B3NZ1N0: try xchat [09:37] bazhang: I got a big result. As I said I am on my cop and instaling linux on my notebook(I cant connect to net on notebook. Thats what I need to do). So it would be better if u tell me what kinda card I need to search for? [09:37] DOOM_NX: did you copy the id_xxx.pub file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? [09:37] *comp [09:37] slacker yes [09:37] i followed this guide: http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html [09:38] DOOM_NX: on the linux, what happens after you type ssh localhost? [09:38] !irc [09:38] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:38] so I see that you can download a lot of amateur ham radio software, but when i run it it needs /dev/mixer why? [09:38] SingAlong: do you have ethernet for the laptop? or just can run a terminal in it? dont need net access for that, just the laptop running [09:38] slacker, ssh localhost [09:38] Enter passphrase for key '/home/doom/.ssh/id_rsa': [09:38] er /dev/radio why? [09:39] wow i want to thank every one that helped me i tryed for 2 weeks to get this sound card to work thank you! [09:39] so whats XCHAT like, can I chat with pple using mirc? [09:39] !dev | JPSman [09:39] JPSman: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [09:39] arvind_khadri: I can connect the internet wire. [09:39] DOOM_NX: that's the password for your key. you can use ssh-agent to manage that. otherwise you have to type it in every time [09:39] bazhang: I can connect the internet wire. [09:39] B3NZ1N0: yes. any IRC client can chat with people using any client [09:39] JPSman: oops sorry /dev are the device files [09:39] DOOM_NX: that's NOT your login password [09:39] slacker, i typed it... ok what happened? [09:39] and I can scan also? [09:39] SingAlong: that would be best really [09:40] bazhang: I have a laptop running. [09:40] DOOM_NX: it didn't complain? [09:40] JPSman: so you would need a receiver for that [09:40] B3NZ1N0: what do you mean by 'scan'? [09:40] slacker, no :( [09:40] it said [09:40] DOOM_NX: should work from windows too [09:40] I mean scan for mailers and so on? [09:41] Linux doom-desktop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC ..... [09:41] B3NZ1N0, mailers? [09:41] arwind_khadri : what are the chances that I can build one? [09:41] DOOM_NX: did you point putty at the right location of the pub key? [09:41] !ot | B3NZ1N0 [09:41] what does this mean? [09:41] B3NZ1N0: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:41] DOOM_NX: means it works. you're logged in to localhost [09:41] SingAlong: if you wish, then connect the ethernet wire/cable and then pastebin the output of lspci to the pastebin site--tell us the address then we can go read it without flooding the channel [09:41] mean [09:41] slacker, yes but... i don't think it will ever be able to connect because windows is a guest os in vbox... using NAT... [09:42] this cahn sucks [09:42] B3NZ1N0, the various irc clients for linux, can do about anytying that mIRC can do.. and many things mIRC cant do. - irc clients connect to irc servers, and join channels so you can chat. :) [09:42] bazhang: yeah will get back [09:42] B3NZ1N0: please read the /topic [09:42] slacker, how do i unlog? :P [09:42] B3NZ1N0: building them is no chance for users ..its a developer thing ...so why dont you get a device.../dev/ points to the devices you have [09:42] logout* [09:42] I dont use linux [09:42] DOOM_NX: ctrl+d [09:42] B3NZ1N0, Then why are you hanging in a Linux related channel? [09:42] DOOM_NX: from your windows, can you ping the linux box? [09:42] B3NZ1N0: please exit and go to ##windows thanks [09:43] slacker, no because i'm using NAT [09:43] DOOM_NX: so why are you even trying to get ssh working for it? [09:43] i was just trying to see how putty works [09:43] i didn't expect it to connect [09:44] putty doesn't do much without a server to connect to [09:44] i know... just the settings [09:44] ic [09:44] so slacker if i import the key to another PC [09:44] using putty [09:44] and try to connect, will it connect? [09:44] wow im gonna try this flubuntu thingy -> [09:44] tv [09:44] Hey all [09:45] root ask [09:45] root: Using IRC as root is a silly idea, in case you didn't know :) [09:45] slacker, i sued "vncviewer localhost:1" and got this: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5290/screenshotvncdoomsxdeskyk0.png [09:45] 8.04 looks just like 7.10 :( :(( [09:46] Im on root [09:46] user on Ubuntu [09:46] root: why? [09:46] Forgot to chang [09:46] we can tell that from your nick. :) [09:46] I run my own web server [09:46] root: your /whois shows "root" === root is now known as Habbotom [09:47] we are safer now? :) === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [09:47] Habbotom: changing your nick doesn't change the fact that you are using IRC as root :) [09:47] ;) [09:47] thoreauputic: Whats wrong with using it [09:48] DOOM_NX: putty can do pub key authentication, if you have the settings right. it works for me [09:48] Habbotom: in some channels you would be kicked :) It's not a secure thing to do [09:48] slacker, i guess so, but see what VNC shows... [09:48] Habbotom: make a user accout and do your on line stuff with that [09:48] can someone help me , i can record sound on ubuntu [09:49] so, nobody around who used videotrans before? [09:49] *cnat [09:49] DOOM_NX: vnc doesn't use ssh [09:49] *cant [09:49] Cant use Lammp on any other user [09:49] Habbotom: nonsense [09:49] Can only start it on root user [09:50] Its normally known as Xammp [09:50] slacker, so... how can i use VNC over SSH? server: ubuntu, client: winxp [09:50] Habbotom: have you tried using sudo? [09:50] ah well, i shall have a black background then [09:50] DOOM_NX: ssh tunneling [09:50] can I watch TV with linux? [09:50] Nope [09:50] me +x [09:50] DOOM_NX: you have to tunnel the correct port using ssh -L [09:50] Habbotom: yo are missing the point I'm afraid - all you need to do is create a user for other purposes - any linux can do that [09:50] DOOM_NX: putty on windows supports tunneling [09:50] slacker, i see... but i can set that on putty, no? [09:51] DOOM_NX: sorry. you setup port forwarding from withing putty [09:51] JPSman, depends on how you define watch tv. My tv tuner card does work with linux. and i can go to most of the web-sites that have tv broadcast/bideos [09:51] okai [09:51] Habbotom: then you simply do "su [09:51] so is everything ok in the server's side? [09:52] hi, my laptop fan runs 80% on ubuntu, 5% on Live ubuntu, and 5 % on XP runtime. What can cause it? [09:53] I've gotta go - housewarming [09:53] DOOM_NX: she'll be right [09:53] cu guys [09:53] slacker, thank u [09:53] aw [09:53] :( [09:54] Could it be, that my cpufreq output says, that no driver installed? [09:54] DOOM_NX: http://martybugs.net/smoothwall/puttyvnc.cgi [09:55] what is smoothwall? [09:55] DOOM_NX: specialised Linux Firewall distribution [09:55] popey [09:55] why should i need smoothwall? [09:56] any idea? [09:56] DOOM_NX: Usually as a gateway/firewall on a LAN etc. [09:56] DOOM_NX: perhaps that link tells you how to tunnel vnc over ssh using putty? just a guess... [09:57] astro76, yes i know, but do i need smoothwall? [09:57] can I swap the cannels of my souncard ? [09:57] DOOM_NX: probably not [09:57] DOOM_NX: no [09:57] okay [09:57] ive got problems with our router dying, comcast told me to unplug it, but it had the same probem 3 times.. not transmitting any pings. [09:57] hey guys....does anybody know a tool for creating video captures (besides wink and recordmydesktop)?? [09:57] !screencast | harmental [09:57] harmental: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [09:58] anybody knows why "vncviewer localhost:1" shows: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5290/screenshotvncdoomsxdeskyk0.png [09:59] astro76: thx!! [09:59] how early in bood are the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id/ established? would it be before MDADM arrays are started? [09:59] boot* [09:59] i don't even know where to start to debug the router.. [09:59] any idea with cpufreq? [10:00] so I have this cable input and the TV software wants /dev/video0 how do I tell it that it has it? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [10:00] ok so I wiped the first several GB of the hard disk with dd from /dev/zero and installed again, it went fine but when I try to boot the system, GRUB loads and shows the list of options but both of them say "error 15, file not found" [10:01] chalcedony: not really an ubuntu issue; you might check the hardware channel and also look into dd-wrt (on the web) [10:01] so I'm guessing the disk is just dead? [10:02] bazhang: ty [10:03] RenaKunisaki: the first few gb? how big is the hard drive and why that way [10:04] bazhang, 250GB, I set it to wipe the whole disk but that was taking forever so I aborted it after about 7.5GB, figured as long as it wiped the partition tables it should be enough [10:05] RenaKunisaki: get the gparted/parted magic live cd and do a proper job of it (the whole disk) [10:06] RenaKunisaki: as arvin told you on more than one occasion [10:06] I have a file called .known_hosts in my /myacc/ === Zeker is now known as dude_ [10:07] it has a bunch of ip addresses, then next to them saying ssh-rsa and a huge set of characters [10:07] does this mean, I can connect to this meahcines? [10:07] Hi all Ubuntu users! greetings! [10:07] wow! Ubuntu rocks.! [10:07] super-blr So,I´m not alone [10:08] one doubt: how is Ubuntu different from Gentoo? which of the two is better for Laptops? [10:08] super-blr, ubuntu has worked BEST on my laptops - out of the dozen or so distros ive tried. [10:08] super-blr: you have a support question or just wish to chat [10:08] super-blr Not a big difference.You only need book to install Gentoo [10:09] I represent a Laptop maker.. we ship around 5000 laptops a month. not very high-end. I need inputs to know which would be better for such OEM installations [10:09] gentoo is not suited for people that have to ask 'whats the differance btweek gentoo and ubuntu' :) [10:09] super-blr, def. stick with Ubuntu then. [10:09] hey, does anyone see my typings? [10:09] super-blr: you may wish to go to #ubuntu-offtopic then for poll/chat then thanks [10:10] What kind of files have the filename extension '.schemas'? Example: /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-dictionary.schemas [10:10] Vasa, no we dont.. :) err.. i mean yes we do/ [10:10] Vasa: yes I see yours [10:10] i get this error when i test my microphone in sound preferences :Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat [10:10] or that they can connect to you BooHoo [10:11] got any iso editor in ubuntu? [10:11] thanks [10:11] kelvin911: you wish to remaster an iso? [10:11] kelvin911, i recall a few 'iso' editor apps in the repos. Kiso is one. - what spefiically do you wish to do with a .iso file? [10:11] Could you advise any cpu scsling package for omnibook? [10:11] scaling [10:11] yes i want to delete some file and move some file to that iso [10:12] !info isomaster [10:12] because the fan runs 95% of the runtime [10:12] kelvin911 isomaster [10:12] isomaster (source: isomaster): A graphical CD image editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1 (gutsy), package size 125 kB, installed size 756 kB [10:12] and, which would be the ideal case for Gentoo, than Ubuntu? [10:12] is isomaster in add/remove? [10:12] ubuntu config kit is not bad (uck) [10:12] when ever i try to connect it it say begning ftp transaction and stucks there [10:12] kelvin911 synaptic [10:12] hi there i am tryin to ssh to my frnds computer in a same room under same router but it say connection refused [10:12] super-blr, when you as a USER want total controll over every last little bit of your system and have plenty of time to spend. [10:13] super-blr: please go to the chat channel thanks [10:13] but thats all i have to say on the topic. :) [10:13] super-blr, it might be easier in Gentoo to fork the distro for your own needs [10:13] !tell jemt about xserver [10:13] anyone: COU help? [10:13] hrm [10:13] CPU? [10:13] is there a dapper server metapackage ?

[10:14] thoreauputic: I agree. which is the better place to get answers for my Q's ? [10:14] thoreauputic, i'll be objective ;) [10:15] mosno: I didn't mean that so much - just that only a few people would know both gento and ubuntu here :) [10:15] (gentoo [10:15] What kind of files have the filename extension '.schemas'? Example: /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gnome-dictionary.schemas [10:15] plus its not a poll channel [10:15] super-blr: maybe try ##linux ? [10:16] okaY!, thanks all. Bye [10:16] bullgard4: they specify entries in gconf [10:16] super-blr: people there would be users of a variety of distros I think [10:16] bullgard4, what sort of anwer are you expecting exactly? it seems that its just some setting file from the example you give. [10:16] super-blr: Gentoo and Ubuntu are very different. Gentoo is perfect if you really want to tweak your system and get your hands dirty - and if you don't mind spending hours, even days compiling your software. Ubuntu (or Debian for that matter) is composed of binaries - already build software components. Just install and it's all set. You may get a bit better performance from Gentoo on older systems, but on a more recent computer, it's just not worth the trouble. [10:16] hello, im looking for software to change id3 tags on my mp3 files. anyone know? [10:16] Jemt: he left :) [10:17] thoreauputic: Yeah.

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [10:24] I'm quite impressed that Ubuntu detects the graphics card and enables the 3D desktop per default now.

[11:31] any ideas on how to make this work for fiesty [11:31] do u guys find that divx movies are smoother when it is playing in windows then in ubuntu? [11:32] kelvin911, no [11:32] Azureus keeps crashing in my Ubuntu (x64) instllation. Any idea why? [11:33] We change one freakin line in xorg.conf, and ruin the whole kernel!

[11:36] ok [11:36] <|Debian|> simple installer ... just takes a bit longer to to install becuase of download [11:36] <|Debian|> !minimal [11:36] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:36] if i need to connect through SSH to another Ubuntu system using an RSA key, what do i do? [11:36] !o [11:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about o - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:36] !no [11:36] Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no.

[11:37] <|Debian|> Helsu use the minimal cd [11:37] <|Debian|> trust me [11:37] nvidia have always sucked balls [11:38] sCOTTo, uk [11:38] nice :) [11:38] I don't see any reason why. [11:38] I have a good connection, and a good computer. [11:38] i once had a friend called speedy.... he started me on linux? [11:38] :) [11:38] ??? [11:38] nvidia sucks balls? [11:38] <|Debian|> helsu doesn't make a difference about the connection. just have more control over what's installed ect. [11:39] <|Debian|> Speedy LOL [11:39] sCOTTo, awesome, i think alot of people use the name speedy, which is pretty annoying as it's my nickname, every where i go its already registerd, hah [11:39] dont tell me ati is better [11:39] hehehe [11:39] never had a problem with ati and linux [11:39] Anyone else getting an "unexpected installation error" when trying to install Firefox addons? [11:39] even with the high definition drivers [11:39] bbl [11:39] Debian I will just uinstall everything I don't need anyway because I will use a graphical server (laugh all you want) through Synapti [11:39] Can someone please check? [11:40] <|Debian|> Helsu you don't make sense. quite idiotic really. [11:40] I'm just installing it to vmware anyway because i need to see whether azureus crashes in 32-bit as well [11:40] which mediaplayer is the best for ubuntu? [11:40] for playing divx? [11:40] kelvin911, about any of them can play divx just fine [11:41] i always love vlc but is there better software? [11:41] he's having problems with divx [11:41] it all depends on what othe rfetures you like, - I tend to use gmplayer [11:41] <|Debian|> Helsu why install Ubuntu on an unstable OS like Windows ? [11:41] mhm? [11:41] Helsu, consider using a client that isnt the bloatware known as azerus [11:42] <|Debian|> P2P is horrible === ionutz_ is now known as banditul [11:42] i agree [11:42] p2p is nasty [11:42] well... sometimes [11:42] <|Debian|> it just is [11:42] for legal purposes i dont torrenting [11:42] <|Debian|> full of crap [11:42] **dont mind [11:42] <|Debian|> private torrents ftw. [11:42] i find that azerus is prety good [11:42] I am using a pci sata controller in my system, but drives are being detected in bootup *AFTER* raid arrays are being started, so not all drives are present in the raid arrays. how can I force this detection to occur earlier? [11:43] i can get 800KB/s dl 30KB/s ul with it [11:43] Speedy I have no choise because it is the only one for Linux with a decent WebUI. [11:43] kelvin911, yeah but you also like nvidia so what does that say abouy you :D === oren is now known as owen1 [11:43] games seem to be better with nvidia cards [11:43] lol [11:43] * Dr_willis cant help but wonder what webui has to do with linux..

[11:45] <|Debian|> PaulMooney thanks =) [11:45] where can i modify boot sequence ? what file [11:45] banditul, depends on what you want to modify [11:45] so you're against ubuntu p2p downloads as well? [11:45] i can't see win xp on it ....after upgrade to 8.04 [11:45] !upstart [11:45] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:46] Yessir. Gutsy hated my t60 hardware. hardy is solid and STILL BETA [11:46] <|Debian|> Helsu yes. [11:46] banditul, grub.conf [11:47] whats wrong with p2p? [11:47] <|Debian|> what's not [11:47] <|Debian|> it's crawling with the feds for a start [11:47] its the greatest thing invented [11:47] I have installed the nvidia driver and wish to get higher resolutions which I know my monitor supports since I had it going with the 'nv' driver before. How should I do this? Adding them to the xorg.conf doesn't seem to work for this one. Max still appears as 1024x768. Thanks [11:47] tomolds, sounds like you need a modeline [11:48] Speedy: Added but still doesn't appear [11:48] tomolds, paste the modeline [11:48] Test [11:48] modeline "1920x1200@60" 193.16 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 -hsync +vsync [11:49] rawr [11:49] ! [11:49] looks good to me, must be a driver problem then.... where did you get the modeline from anyway? [11:49] Speedy: Found it on the net somewhere [11:49] best thing to do it, GET ATI haha. erm.... search google with the make of your card [11:50] *to do is [11:50] Hi. I want to install flash on AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10, but the package 'flashplugin-nonfree' doesn't work becouse 'nspluginwrapper' package doesn't install correctly and I think there also would be problem with the md5sum of Flash from Adobe. So, I need to install flash correctly, but when I am compiling 'nspluginwrapper' using make, I got an error: '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsupc++'. What I have to do? [11:50] Speedy: lol so I have been told by many [11:51] sorry i cant really help you with resolution problems outside of ati or intel chipsets [11:51] why is is still called amd64 when intel has 64-bit too now? [11:51] Helsu, yes it is [11:51] for some strange reason [11:51] maybe amd64 is lighter ^^ [11:51] Helsu, do you have g++ 3.4(or higher) installed [11:51] "phenom edition" [11:51] it's amd64 cuz they had some stupid idea ages ago [11:51] which fails [11:51] I don't know what g++ is. [11:52] amd got popular first. :) [11:52] g++ is a compiler for compiling C and C++ code [11:52] Helsu, install it. [11:52] Hello, could someone see this image , this is my media folder. I have an external hard-disk that uses NFST filesystem. Fpr some reasons, I have too many icons for it even it ejected! What to do? [11:52] hey guys, my nvidia driver won't stick - i keep installing it, and on reboot, it just doesn't work (hardy) [11:52] yea Dr_willis but it's like calling ur kid some "cute name" [11:52] they are going to grow up [11:52] Dr_willis, with 64 bit that is ture, but in general not [11:52] *true [11:53] Sturmeh, gee.. like all the Ubuntu ANimal names? :) [11:53] OsamaK, empty file browser cache [11:53] hahaha [11:53] that's different [11:53] #ubuntu-classroom [11:53] OsamaK, empty file browser cache - sync- un - mount - ... [11:53] cyberagent: How to? [11:54] OsamaK, log out and login, but be sure to sync and unmount first [11:54] why does it whine that my list is out of date in add/remove? i don't think there have been drastic changes since the last time i viewed it, 5 minutes ago. [11:54] cyberagent: How will it help? [11:54] Hi. I want to install flash on AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10, but the package 'flashplugin-nonfree' doesn't work becouse 'nspluginwrapper' package doesn't install correctly and I think there also would be problem with the md5sum of Flash from Adobe. So, I need to install flash correctly, but when I am compiling 'nspluginwrapper' using make, I got an error: '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsupc++'. What I have to do? [11:55] install a 32bit browser [11:55] cyberagent: I think I tried that before, but I'll try.. [11:55] Helsu, g++ has special libstdc++ features. [11:55] whats the benifit of using a 64bit OS [11:55] is it really that big? [11:55] when is the next ubuntu relase date [11:55] Sturmeh: in theory it would be faster [11:56] spelling, a few days [11:56] how do I add a new user from the commandline? [11:56] Sturmeh, for most people..very little gain. and often a whole lot of pain [11:56] rose a few days means a few years? [11:56] rose but is it worth the "hassle" involved with looking for 64bit versions of everything? [11:56] Adys: sudo adduser new-user-name [11:56] cyberagent: How will that benefit me? [11:56] probably not [11:56] spelling: www.ubuntu.com its on the frontpage [11:56] and it only benifits the cpu right? [11:56] adys adduser? [11:56] Starnestommy: thanks [11:56] Helsu, listen i'm not your wikipedia. [11:56] spelling, it comes out in 4 days [11:56] how can i see what is the name of the second hdd ( where win is installed) ? [11:56] Helsu, if you don't want to do it, then don't. ;) [11:56] this isn't msft [11:57] Ok this is what I meant, will it solve my Azureus problem? [11:57] Helsu, huh? which problem? [11:57] Azureus crashes [11:58] get something better? =] [11:58] azureus sucks [11:58] banditul, sudo fdisk -l [11:58] rose: But I don't want... I also have to generate the plugin-file x** or sth for mozilla ff, but I can't run Adobe Flash installer on my 64bit system, of course, even if I have got a 32 Firefox installed. So, why the nspluginwrapper doesn't installs correctly (without some files or sth)? And what I have to do to compile nspluginwrapper myself? [11:58] Again, there is no decent BitTorrent client for Linux with a good WebUI but Azureus. [11:58] AlexQ: which version of ubuntu are you using? [11:58] hey will opengeu come out same day the new ubuntu is released? [11:59] helsu: deluge, ktorrent? [11:59] Helsu, personally i much perfer the ktorrent webui.. but it suites my needs. :P [11:59] can i update my beta version of ubuntu for 64bit ubuntu without losing all my data? [11:59] Helsu: Deluge is a decent client [11:59] Starnestommy: 7.10 [11:59] spelling, dunno [11:59] Starnestommy: AMD64 version [11:59] rose acn't there be a early version be found? are ubntu community excited about this release [11:59] ye [11:59] Helsu: but if u only need a web UI, then I suggest torrentflux [11:59] Helsu, java and 64bit - can be an issue. [11:59] AlexQ: nspluginwrapper works fine on my amd64 system [11:59] spelling, i'm using it now [11:59] okay ill stay in 32bit because i dont need 64 bit, it was bit faster tho [11:59] rose where did you find it [12:00] spelling: the ubuntu website [12:00] it says release candidate [12:00] wtf is that [12:00] google it [12:00] really [12:00] Didn't help.. [12:00] i have other problems [12:01] hey i neeed some serious advice. [12:01] About ubuntu :) [12:01] very well, i'll look into deluge and ktorrent. [12:01] about what about unbuntu [12:01] torrentflux looks shit to be honest. [12:01] Well, i am going to install it on one of my super old old old old computers, but I have wireless internet [12:01] Belkin G. [12:01] Will it work with ubuntu [12:01] helsu, what desktop manager are you using? [12:01] does it meet the minimun requirements? [12:01] Yes. [12:01] !ohmy | Helsu [12:01] Helsu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:01] boot up the live cd [12:01] shouldn't be any problems if that loads [12:01] Helsu: the "look" of fluxtorent is a matter of theming :\ [12:02] but you might want to research wireless internet [12:02] Will Belkin G wireless adapter work [12:02] Hello, can anyone help me to fix broken Ubuntu (Grub Error 17) ? [12:02] spelling: it means that it's almost ready for a release, but it needs a little testing to make sure that it's ready [12:02] lol [12:02] whats the live cd?

I'm happy as long as it works, no matter how... but isn't it a bit worrying for Ubuntu that its released in 4 days and has such major bugs? [12:27] i'm french. what client have you ? [12:27] me : xchat [12:27] matt_____: what wireless encryption does your network use? [12:27] wep ascii [12:27] can anyone answer me? [12:27] GIn, I mean most people expect things that used to work to still work, especially not use wrappers for things that used to work natively [12:28] kaNNib^L use the live cd, it boots correct? [12:28] I have manually defined the ESSID, wep key, and set it to DHCP [12:28] harmental, http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-enc-images.html [12:28] yes it boots correct [12:28] kaNNib^L on the desktop, you have "install" have you clicked that? [12:28] But I can't find where to check the status (I'm trying to convert from windows) [12:28] when it want to start partition i dont know ex2 exe3 [12:28] yes i did [12:29] kaNNib^L EXT3 for "/" SWAP for swap [12:29] toogreen_: well, Hardy is still in beta, it will probably works when it's released , but that's unlikely. You can report it to the developers [12:29] kaNNib^L you need two partitions, one for SWAP, and one for everything else... Optionally two more for /boot and /home [12:30] matt_____: iwconfig should show you some information u need [12:30] matt_____: but network-manager is also useful [12:30] kaNNib^L the one that is for everything else (root) / must be a Primary partition [12:30] GIn, I saw many similar reports already, with similar cards and others as well.. thats why im worried! I know some people in the press are just so eager to write reviews and bitch about every little bug they will encounter.. :P [12:31] matt_____: do you have a little computer on the right top corner? [12:31] toogreen: Please use #ubuntu+1 for hardy support [12:31] yes - its showing me info about the wired connection i'm using right now [12:31] salve ragazzi ho un problema mentre installo ubuntu da live, quando arrivo al momento della partizione non mi trova un punto di montaggio dell'hd r non mi fa andare avanti...come posso fare? [12:31] toogreen_: it is hard for an OS to support every wireless card out there. WIndows does NOT support them all either. Most of the users need to install the driver theirself [12:32] themself* [12:32] kaNNib^L no more questions? [12:32] matt_____: did u run iwconfig? [12:32] GIn i blame the vendors for not writing drivers for linux [12:33] nope - have no idea what that is heh [12:33] Sturmeh: it will happen . just a matter of time ;) [12:33] sudo iwconfig? [12:33] matt_____: yes, in the terminal [12:33] GIn, I know, i'm not complaining you know, just find it strange that it stopped working just days before release.. I forgot to mentioned it used to work even after upgrading to hardy, it just stopped working a few days ago after a usual update... anyway, hopefully it will be resolved before release [12:34] toogreen_: then it is best to report that to the developers [12:34] lo no wireless extensions. [12:34] eth0 no wireless extensions. [12:34] eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"70Kiddles" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318" [12:34] Mode:Managed Frequency=2.472 GHz Access Point: Invalid [12:34] Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=19 dBm [12:34] matt_____: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If i update the evolution,will they be overwrited?And if i remove the evolution,will they be removed? [12:35] matt_____: your card works, but a bit slow [12:36] cjzjm100: if you update evolution, they won' t be overwritten by the new update [12:36] hmm - browsing just tells me that there is no connection at all [12:36] I understand thre are difficulties when using broadcoms - heh [12:36] hm. Got a pretty weird problem. When I kill my gnome-panel app, my keyboard shortcuts simply don't work anymore. Is it normal? I use GNOME 2.14.1 on a Dapper-derivative. [12:37] odder: yes, that's normal afaik [12:38] chown 775 -R /home/me [12:38] this is very bad right? [12:38] how can I revert that? [12:38] GIn,what about removing the evolution?will they be remove? [12:38] cjzjm100: nope, removing evolution won't remove ~/.evolution [12:39] is there a secret to installing windows after ubuntu so it doesn't overwrite grub or fsck things up?

I'm just trying to figure out the differences between Debian and Ubuntu on this level [12:42] thanks everyone :) my ubuntu brothers (and sisters?) are the best [12:42] nonewmsgs: something like 'grub settings' or so, just search 'grub' and look for it [12:42] jussi01: "gets a new one" ? [12:42] cjzjm100: um, honestly I don't know. but removing an application won't remove the user's data [12:42] !bcm43xx | n-iCe [12:42] n-iCe: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [12:42] nonewmsgs: you know it ! :P [12:42] and I agree...

[13:01] spe3dy: why not xfs? it seems faster and still has a journal [13:02] it_rains: a faster way to test is, play a long movie, then leave it on and play with your sound settings [13:02] banditul: try xmms2 [13:02] odder, Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package.

It should've been "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" [13:42] Paddy_EIRE: the vmware server page says i have to make sure my user is part of the "disk" group, can't find such a group though [13:42] deserteagle: one sec [13:43] Paddy_EIRE: i added the ability to use tape drives to my user, to see if that helps [13:43] one of my hdds has some bad blocks somewhere on the first 9 gb, so i left it as free space, and the rest works great for ages. but ubuntu always "checks" it at startup, which keeps 150 seconds. can i disable this tryings in the kernel? [13:43] deserteagle: err.. why tape drives [13:43] Paddy_EIRE: hell if i know, just poking around :P [13:43] deserteagle: O.o [13:44] deserteagle: anyway... try starting that wiki pae from scratch .. as in remove vmware-server completely and start again according to their instructions [13:44] what's a bad install, wouldn't it be a bad install next time if i do exactly the same steps to install it [13:44] *page [13:44] ? [13:44] I manually installed nvidia drivers and also tried with the nvidia-glx package. neither is working [13:44] Starnestommy: says there is no linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 [13:44] says no package [13:44] b4l74z4: Not neccesarily [13:45] deserteagle, more /etc/group [13:45] disk should be in that list [13:45] TuxIce, why not? [13:45] more /etc/group [13:45] n-iCe, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`, what about this [13:46] naxa, try looking in fstab manual [13:46] >_< stupid tilda doesn't grab key focus [13:46] at bootup the kernel tries to read the first blocks after mbr on one of my hdds by default, what keeps 150 secs. i am aware that these blocks are io error, but the rest of the hdd works for ages for me like this. can i reduce the number retries to make ubuntu bootup faster [13:46] spas19, are you sure that this is fstab? i think this is made by the kernel. there is no partition [13:46] Starnestommy: ??? [13:46] how can I install this package??? linux-headers-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 [13:46] naxa talking about fsck checks?

[13:47] !info linux-headers-2.6.24* [13:47] Package linux-headers-2.6.24 does not exist in gutsy [13:47] spas19, not really. i think the kernel tries to recognize whats on the disk by default, maybe this is why no correct bios settings needed for linux [13:47] Starnestommy: yes [13:47] JarG0n: kill -9 PID [13:47] :/ [13:47] !info linux-headers-2.6.24* hardy [13:47] spas19, this is before the init starts [13:47] Package linux-headers-2.6.24 does not exist in hardy [13:47] Starnestommy: what else can I do?? [13:47] i see... dunno then [13:48] n-iCe: which version of ubuntu is it? [13:48] 7.10 [13:48] Starnestommy> That worked. What does that do differently? [13:48] b4l74z4r: the first install could have been a repo down or there server was doing updates or that (and dont quote me on the last one) your CPU wasnt going through the install smoothly and it was all choppy [13:48] JarG0n: it sends SIGKILL instead of the default SIGTERM. Unlike SIGTERM, SIGKILL cannot be ignored except by init and some core processes [13:49] naxa, have u checked logs, do they print anything wierd? [13:49] Starnestommy> Cool, thanks ! :) [13:49] any idea Starnestommy [13:50] spas19, i dont know where are the logs but i start without flash and without quiet mode so i see whats going on. there is many io error messages on that hdd, and after ~120 secs, it gives up and the system starts.

[13:53] Paddy_EIRE, does nm-applet knows which if to connect from ? [13:53] nobody??? [13:53] mattywarr, you can use the add/remove app gui [13:54] is there any mxml editor in ubuntu world [13:54] !java | mattywarr [13:54] mattywarr: 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) [13:54] Schypher_: I was kidding :P [13:54] sudo apt-cache search java [13:54] spe3dy does nm-applet knows which if to connect from ? [13:54] and then just sudo apt-get install you package [13:54] sch technically they are both the same, so yes it does [13:54] Schypher_, ^^ [13:55] hmm - can't seem to find it in add/remove [13:55] mattywarr, in the drop down menuy [13:55] spe3dy, ??

But when i set up one or the other if wont let me setup the last one as it says unallocated space and has no new partition button [13:56] spe3dy, do you have any experience in PCMCIA cards/wifi and madwifi drivers? [13:57] Schypher_, yes, alot of experience [13:57] spas19, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63827/ [13:57] <|Debian|> berent .. apt-get install flex [13:57] <|Debian|> i just needed that =) [13:57] schnootop, how many partitions are you trying to make? [13:57] spe3dy, where can I find the logs ? [13:57] Schypher_, /var/logs [13:57] spe3dy, :D [13:57] /var/log [13:57] |Debian| : i am talking about adobe flex [13:57] what ftpd server is best to use these days? [13:58] spe3dy, I mean't nm-applet logs [13:58] Scunizi, there is 3 already on there and i need to create the / and swap [13:58] naxa, dunno how to skip the those kern checks [13:58] !ftpserver [13:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about ftpserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:58] www.ubuntu.it [13:58] schnootop, are the other 3 linux related or windows?

[13:58] Scunizi, windows so i cant touch them [13:59] <|Debian|> i've been compiling wine from source ... done .. ./configure ... make depend ... then make and now i have an error .. make[2]: *** [port.o] Error 1 [13:59] <|Debian|> make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/debian/Desktop/wine/libs/wine' [13:59] Scunizi, any idea what i can do ? [13:59] schnootop, ok.. the forth partition on the drive should be and extended partition. [14:00] spe3dy, well I have a Dlink G650 card, installed patched madwifi module successfully, card loads.... but nm-applet doesn't seem to be interacting with it... tried to connect to AP..... not getting any response... I could sniff for AP.. [14:00] |Debian|: what's the entire output of make? [14:00] spas19, np, thanks! [14:00] Schypher_, generally dlink cards work out of the box [14:00] schnootop, inside of the exteded partition you'll be able to create / & /home & /swap [14:00] I am trying to compile a perl module and get Can't locate Inline/MakeMaker.pm. What should i do? [14:00] can someone help me how to skip the kernel checks seen at the top of this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63829/ [14:00] I find atheros works good too. [14:01] naxa: Did you try GOOGLE [14:01] spe3dy, yes, I am surprised why this didn't work out of the box... maybe a driver conflict? [14:01] when you say extended do you mean use as ext3 ? or what should i set that as ? [14:01] **google [14:01] deffinatly [14:01] TuxIce, i don't know what to search for [14:01] this is why i ask [14:01] you in fesity or gutsy? [14:01] i don't know what causes this [14:01] *feisty [14:01] spe3dy, before I installed the madwifi drivers, I plugged the card in, ubuntu did not pick it up [14:01] schnootop, if you hadn't thought of it yet, do yourself a favor and create a separate partition for /home.. so root or / should be 10gigs...... swap /swap no more than 1 gig and the rest for /home.. [14:02] naxa: youre problem is that you have 9gb of bad sectors right? [14:02] kaur: run "sudo cpan install Inline::MakeMaker" to install that missing module [14:02] naxa: medium errors == dying disk [14:02] and you need the kernel to skip checks of that first partition [14:02] naxa: am i right , or am i confusing u and someone else? [14:02] spe3dy, the strange thing is after I installed the patched madwifi drivers, I was able to do airmon, airodump-ng to sniff APs [14:02] yeah that is weird [14:02] Starnestommy, Thanks, I'll try [14:03] TuxIce, i am [14:03] i try to add applets to awn but there are none in the awn manger. am i supposed to download them somewhere? [14:03] go into the config of the applet and manually feed it the location of your hardware [14:03] schnootop, an extended partition just set the remaining space aside and allows you to create partition of a particular format of your choice... they are not "primary" partitions. You can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive.. [14:03] Scunizi, i only have 14gb to play with but i still dont know how to create more than 1 partition : [14:03] is there any mxml editor in ubuntu world [14:03] spe3dy, I'll try that suggestion [14:03] erUSUL, i know, the fisrt part of the hdd has bad blocks but the second half works for years for me, i want to disable the checking [14:03] himijendrix: have you read the awn docs/faq yet? [14:03] I have a minor directory question - I just downloaded some libraries for Octave (a pretty big folder-full), and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for where to store it in my directory structure [14:04] naxa: what kernel are you using? [14:04] how do i actually create this 'extended' partition [14:04] spe3dy, where is the nm-applet conf file ? not in /etc is it? [14:04] Ubuntu 9.10 Furrocious Ferret :D LOL [14:04] 2.6.22-14-generic [14:04] TuxIce, 2.6.22-14-generic [14:04] hi [14:04] how to change my account locale please ? [14:05] naxa : google - skip check of first partition with 2.6.22-14-generic kernel [14:05] bazhang, erm..didnt think of that...reading [14:05] schnootop, with 14gigs.. don't create a separate /home.. and swap should be about 512 mb.. while using the installer you should be able to choose manual and in there can create the logical or exteneded partition and the new ones you need to install inside of that === icesword is now known as mademelaugh [14:05] TuxIce, i will try [14:05] Ha i have a 4 gb swap partition [14:05] LOL [14:06] TuxIce: why is that funny ? [14:06] naxa: tell me your findings [14:06] Schypher_, it has a gui if you right click it [14:06] TuxIce, no luck for me [14:06] everyone has a fetish :) [14:06] ikonia: i think it is considering i only have 512mb of ram [14:06] TuxIce, they are irrelevant [14:06] its like revers [14:06] e [14:06] naxa: one sec ill try [14:06] TuxIce, ok [14:06] ok i know how to do that, but when i click on logical. assign 14gb to that. What do i set the Use as 'as'. is it dont_use or ext3 or what ? [14:06] TuxIce: not really, a large swap partition is a sensible way of countering low ram like 512mb [14:07] ikonia, a slow one... [14:07] spas19: pardon ? [14:07] slow way :) [14:07] system>administration>network tools > Schypher_ look in there too [14:08] schnootop, when you select logical it won't give you the option of choosing anything.. logical is like giving the remaining space on the harddrive a name called "logical" and then allowing you to partition that space as needed [14:09] please how to change a user's locale in gnome ? [14:09] naxa: google this - how to: skip checking of a partition in linux [14:09] TuxIce, ok === L337 is now known as Pion33R [14:09] what do you mean locale, joeamined be a little specific [14:09] Hi ! [14:09] :) [14:09] spe3dy, it says unknown ath interface.. is that correct? [14:09] Pion33R: Hi [14:10] hello [14:10] spe3dy, it says unknown interface (ath0).. is that correct? [14:10] jaffarlelshac: i'm having english_ca and i want to change it to en_US [14:10] spe3dy: do you have an atheros wireless card? [14:10] TuxIce, I do and i am having problem with it :D [14:10] I changed the default locale to EN_US, but I'd like to change it in my current account [14:10] TuxIce, what's wrong with your card? [14:11] schnootop, do you get it? [14:11] TuxIce, i do on one of my laptops [14:11] not quite, i set up a logical (but it still gives me all those options) then once i created the logical i clicked on the partition again and it wouldnt allow me to create new ones within it :\ [14:11] Schypher_, it shouldnt be unknown [14:11] TuxIce, do you think that ide=nodma would solve this? [14:11] Schypher_: my card worked automatically [14:11] spe3dy: does it work? [14:12] TuxIce, yes [14:12] to change time zone if i have it right, just right click time and pick ajust time and date [14:12] Schypher_: the interface should be ath0 [14:12] i installed the atheros -ng drivers [14:12] Schypher_: not just ath [14:12] and it worked [14:12] spe3dy: mine worked and connected to our dualband DIR-615 router automatically [14:13] naxa: ill find out [14:13] TuxIce, thanks but maybe its enough if i try isnt it? [14:13] TuxIce, it is ath0. but it didn't work automatically for me and I am using ubuntu 8.0.24, kern, 2.6.24.16-i386 [14:13] naxa: i think it should work [14:13] TuxIce, my atheros card is on slackware, which doesnt do anything automatically [14:14] TuxIce, I'll be back in a few minutes, please wait for me, i go and try! thanks for the help! [14:14] schnootop, well... since a harddrive can only be partitioned 4 times with primary partitions, "logical" is away of extending that beyond 4 partitions. creating a logical partition shouldn't give you any options for formatting or assignment.. are you using the alternate cd? [14:14] naxa: np [14:14] TuxIce, I always thought if I plugged the card in and dont need to restart, the drivers should load automatically, maybe I need to check the blacklist [14:14] spe3dy: good pont [14:14] Schypher_: possibly [14:14] im using the legit ubuntu 7.10 cd [14:14] Schypher_: does it work on gutsy? [14:14] never tried [14:15] Schypher_, you need to restart after you plug the card in [14:15] Schypher_: give that a try first. [14:15] Schypher_: dont forget to back up! [14:15] ubuntu should automatically work with dlink, assuming your using gutsy [14:15] Schypher_: but yes do try the blacklist [14:15] spe3dy, I thought the modules are loaded during bootup for atheros cards... [14:15] they are [14:15] thats why you need to re-start [14:15] so they can detect any hardware changes [14:15] i just updated to 8.04rc and i have and the only problem so far is when i restart or even log out and back in my screen brightness on my laptop goes to the darkest setting. i have to use the Function button to reset it. any ideas on how to stop this? [14:16] wigren, this isnt beta support [14:16] spe3dy, ahh, hmm looks like uninstalled the modules I compiled would be hard :/ [14:16] Hello, is a PPPoE GUI client been added to 8.04? Or is it necessary to use pppoeconf like in 10.06? thanks [14:16] !ubuntu+1 | wigren [14:16] spe3dy: ok sorry [14:16] wigren: 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 [14:16] schnootop, even the alternate is ligit.. just for different uses.. you might consider downloading and burning the iso for Gparted Live cd. It is a partitioning utility that might be easier to use to finish the partitioning sceme on the drive and then have ubuntu install to that... unless someone else here has any other guideance..

[14:30] richard: was that english o_O [14:30] richard: because you have done one of the following things 1.) updated your grub boot sector to read frmo the menu.lst from mandrva, or deleted your shared /boot sectors contents of anything to do with ubuntu [14:30] richard: You need to reconfigure grub. [14:30] i'm peruvian [14:30] richard: my guess is that mandriva replaced GRUB. [14:30] hey i need someone smart for this one, i want to run "talk" from the terminal, i installed talk, and now it says no talk damon running, how do i start the talk damon?

[15:22] what are "surprise packages"? yesterday some dude threaten me he would send those and today I cannot boot with my machine [15:22] dhude: what exact error are you getting [15:23] no boot [15:23] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63834/ [15:23] dhude, did you run something they sent you [15:23] the machine just doesn't do anything [15:23] nope, IAhaven't accepted anything [15:23] dhude: how old is this machine [15:23] about 1,5 yers [15:23] years [15:23] I used apt to upgrade my laptop on Friday and since then it won't boot. The progress bar gets all the way to the end but then it just hangs. I can boot it in recovery mode only. How can I work out what's wrong? (This happened to me before and it was about the ndis kernel module -- booting without the wireless card worked ok but that doesn't help this time, so I don't think it's the same problem...) [15:23] Oprtz, what about my other questions [15:24] hello! [15:24] unless this "some dude" has root access to your comp, issue is unrelated [15:24] Ciao a tutti !!! [15:24] i've a simple problem i think... [15:24] !it | SeXsNiPeR [15:24] SeXsNiPeR: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [15:24] ok tnx [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: i installed restricted software with the help of this channel , i asked questions and the guys help me, i am new to linux, [15:24] I tried to connect a mtp-media player with amarok and it didn't work. [15:24] try alive cd to see [15:24] okay, thank you, VoidedCheck [15:24] dhude: with the scarcity of info you are offering there is no telling; sounds like a hardware failure [15:24] i've defined a function in .bashrc however i can only get it to run if i type "bash" before calling the command. otherwise i get a bash error stating that the command was not found. running source .bashrc seems to do nothing [15:25] <|Dede|> How can I set it so that metacity starts automatically on startup? I uninstalled compiz, and now metacity doesnt start automatically [15:25] i now found the reason through typing "mtp-detect" once as user root and once as I'm just logged in with my standard user-name. [15:25] thank you bazhang [15:25] titusg, have you manually changed any of your sources prior to the upgrade [15:25] groken_-> paste the function you created [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: no [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: do u read http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63834/ ? [15:26] |Dede|, just curious, why would you uninstall compiz in favour of metacity? [15:26] when i'm logged in as a root it works nice, but if I'm trying the same as a normal user the console says that no mtp-device was found... [15:26] dhude: you may want to remove the battery and try booting with only ac adapter if this is a laptop; otherwise might check out the #hardware channel [15:26] you didnt even have to do that, you could of just disbaled it in the gui [15:26] hmm low battery [15:26] does anyone have kismet working? [15:26] hi. [15:26] how can i solve that problem ?? :) [15:26] Oprtz, Yes, looked at it briefly dont see the problem.. someone else will know.. I need my morning coffee [15:27] <|Dede|> spe3dy: It always flickered when I wanted to play games, and it annoys me to alsways do "metacity --replace" [15:27] it's not a laptop bazhang, thenks [15:27] Jack_Sparrow: ok :) [15:27] i need a tftp client to uploade a config to my cable modem.. anyone know about a good tftp client ? [15:27] |Dede|, you can use the appearence menu to disable it [15:27] <|Dede|> spe3dy: Do you know how I can make metacity default [15:27] i just said [15:27] Jack_Sparrow: if there is no problem why it disapear then :( [15:28] i guess you could just write a small bash script that will do metacity --replace on boot |Dede| [15:28] any tftp client ? [15:28] :P [15:28] |Dede|, See if #Compix people have an better answer.. it is necessary to turn of effects so those bid games work better.. [15:28] |Dede|: how about setting desktop effects to none in appearances [15:28] amenado: http://pastebin.com/d1566d7ec [15:28] bazhang, thats what i said [15:28] spe3dy: well said [15:29] wah! I hate broadcom. [15:29] or a bash script can do metacity --replcae on boot for you [15:29] or write a script to run the game that turns off effects for you [15:29] #!/bin/bash; metacity --replace [15:30] some tftp client ? [15:30] |Dede|: listen to spe3dy and Jack_Sparrow [15:30] |Dede|, you cant have it both ways.. [15:30] Evil_inside: aptitude search tftp (or search in Synaptic) [15:30] Alguien conoce algun tftp client? [15:30] !es [15:30] astro76 gracias. [15:30] :P [15:31] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[15:36] i see. [15:37] I've got a bit of a problem. I had a wubi installation and moved it with LVPM to a real partition. Now I notice he is using the GRUB loader from the new partition but he keeps loading the virtual Ubuntu and I can't get GRUB configured to load my new real one. [15:37] Jack_Sparrow, gparted shows 7.53gb used, but when i rightklick it in /media it shows the real size gparted gave me too, and that 46gb are used [15:37] astro76, thanks [15:37] Evil_inside-> atftp [15:37] cow_2001: or perhaps hosts.allow [15:37] atftp [15:37] ?

[15:39] guys can i rotate cube up and down? [15:39] titusg, did livecd boot ok? [15:40] I am using the new one, because the list in the grub config file on the new partition is the one I get first [15:40] titusg-> what was the fault during boot? [15:40] Oprtz, no [15:40] Jack_Sparrow: yes, fine. [15:40] Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks [15:40] ethand: yeah I know I can edit them in grub to but I tried all possible partitions hd0,1 to hd0,4 and it still loads up the virtual installation [15:40] j #ubuntu-fr [15:40] titusg, ok.. just asking.. [15:40] Jack_Sparrow, http://pastebin.com/f2b3639ad [15:40] Ego-> how do you verify it is the virtual installation?

[15:42] dell you must configure kismet [15:42] Ego-> perhaps you are already booting on your hd? you have installed so it must be booting from the new drive, ifyou want, you can remove the 1st drive to test that it does go to the second one [15:42] Widget, haha [15:42] no it doesn't come with kde4 [15:42] Widget: by default, it has Gnome 2.22 installed [15:42] Widget: it's 8.04, discussion for it in #ubuntu+1 ;) [15:42] amenado: is there a way to run the commands in a directory without making the term i'm in cd to that dir (as my code currently does)? [15:42] Widget: but it will have the option for both 3 and 4 [15:43] ok, thank you amenado [15:43] lol, i knew it came with gnome and that kbuntu has kde.. but thought i read that ubuntui 8.04 shipped with it :P [15:43] groken_-> just use the full path /where/the/script/command/resides/command [15:44] can I use the live cd to stop using timidity? What are the alternatives? [15:44] ProN00b, I am still a bit sleepy so pardon my asking again.. but which partition are we talking about [15:45] I'm trying to print from gedit and it crashes everytime..has anyone encountered this problem? [15:45] amenado: in this case, the python i call looks at the current dir you are executing in to run. i would prefer to keep the python code i'm running standard and unmodified from the svn repository [15:45] **funny thing is that it gets printed, gedit just crashes [15:45] hi fstab does not mounts at boot nfs shared direktories -wth, wtdo ? [15:45] ethand, Not a common problem.. run it from terminal and look for an error [15:46] have got moinmoin, doku and mediawiki installed. You people told me to try all out and see what I like.

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:46] groken_-> it is always best to use the full path when you are in a script, as the environment or shell may changed and you have not exported everything [15:46] jack_sparrow: thanks. I got an error just cant find anything in google about it [15:46] ^^ a solution that is === greekubuntuhelpe is now known as greekubuntu-user [15:47] ethand, post the short version of the error in the channel.. and are you running ubuntu gutsy and not another release [15:47] groken_-> it does not change the code from svn repository, you are merely pointing the executable script from the svn repo directory [15:47] sdakak: how are you going to use it? [15:47] Installation is not a problem. I have got all three installed correctly. So one uses a db and others not is not in question. My wiki is going to gather articles for a newsletter. peer-editing is not a very great requirement. But admins being informed when there is a new submission is. The wiki needs to be organized well, so that it is easy to categorize the articles. I should also able to tag them - to make search easier. What say? [15:47] astro76: ^ [15:48] amenado: i get what you are saying, but the args that the python takes which is called from the shell script expects the arg to be a subfolder of the current working directory [15:49] does ubuntu have pulseaudio [15:49] unclemike, yes [15:49] sdakak, that would be a better discussion for the #Ubuntu-offtopic room [15:49] as of ubuntu 8.04 [15:49] is there a seperate channel for support on edubuntu? [15:49] unclemike: the next release [15:49] xomp, #edubuntu [15:49] groken_-> even you do cd to that directory, you can still use the full path [15:49] thanks Seveas :) [15:49] Jack_Sparrow: relocating :( [15:49] Hello, why dosemu-freedos is so badly broken? :( [15:50] earthian: what are you trying to do and what errors are you getting please describe with some details [15:50] amenado: are you saying i should pass the python the full path as an argument? i'm don't think it will allow that [15:50] My CPU temp is constantly at around 50 C even though I'm using Fluxbox. Firefox-bin takes up a lot of resources, I think. What is a good lightweight alternative? [15:50] Meh. I give up on broadcom. [15:51] LainIwakura: To firefox? I like Epiphany, but I'm a gnome user, and I have GTK always loaded. [15:51] bazhang, the package dosemu-freedos depends on dosemu and conflicts at the same time or so [15:51] groken_-> why not? try it, btw, you have cd $PWD/django_projects/... well what happens ifyou were in a different dir? your $PWD would change yes? [15:51] bent_: Ok, thanks. [15:51] jack_sparrow: GnomePrintCupsPlugin-Message: The ppd file for the CUPS printer mastroianni could not be loaded. [15:51] earthian: I had two questions [15:51] bent_-> awws.you gave up, i had high hopes for you.. [15:51] LainIwakura: If you're fond of QT, Knonquer is okay. If you hate graphics, lynx still exists. [15:51] so right now no working pulseaudio [15:52] amenado: oohh, i see what you were saying about pwd, i fixed that already :) i'm trying to pass a full path now [15:52] i'm using dapper at work. I dont have access to the cups server, so i'm looking for a local fix [15:52] bent_: Lynx... a little "too" lightweight :D But thanks for your suggestions. [15:52] ethand, Can I assume the printer works in other apps? and what about my other question about what release/distro you arer using [15:53] bazhang, i am trying to use mkrboot to create a bootable dos flash disk [15:53] amenado: After the 5th re-install of ubuntu in 2 days... compiling ndiswrapper 3 different times, using 6 different drivers, and some firmware grabber... eh. [15:53] LainIwakura-> there is also the w3m [15:53] jack: yes, from what i googled, its a known bug with some gnome/gtk apps. im using dapper [15:53] earthian: for what purpose please [15:53] jack: all my other apps print ok [15:54] bent_-> only the 5th? thats normal, when doing trial and error, and specifically with broadcoam chips 43xx :) [15:54] LainIwakura: links2 is probably the most lightweight if you want pictures [15:54] bazhang, bios upgrade if that helps anyhow to solve the problem with dosemu-freedos ¬¬ [15:54] amenado: i got it working, thanks again! [15:54] bent_-> but i can relate to the pain.. [15:54] bent_, I have never had a problem with the bcm43xx, I always used fwcutter to do the work [15:54] amenado: Well, the first two were before I cared about wireless... using wubi on defragmented drives does not work. [15:54] groken_-> cool ... you're welcome [15:54] Ubuntu 8.04 is amazing [15:55] earthian: ah a bios upgrade. [15:55] hello. If I change the permissions of a folder, will that apply to all files IN the folder, including files that have yet to be moved to the folder? If not, how do I achieve this goal? [15:55] Jack_Sparrow: Cool, because... alas, I don't have that broadcom model. And neither do most people. [15:55] bent_-> but you see some are luckier than us..hehe [15:55] matt444: no. Why do you want to achieve this? give more details [15:55] when 8.04 supose to be released [15:55] bent_, std issue in most old dells [15:55] 4 days unclemike [15:55] unclemike, very very soon [15:56] matt444: If you're using gnome, there's a button that applys permission to enclosed files... [15:56] jrib: i want another device on my network to be able to delete files in this folder. [15:56] bent_: i don't want to have to change permissions every time I move files to the folder. [15:56] matt444: I think that should work. [15:56] so if i install 7.10 can i upgrade to 8.04 as of now [15:56] #edubuntu is deader than a door nail :( [15:56] matt444-> also nice to create a dummy directory with subdirs, toy with it, so you can learn the power of chmod, chown, and access list ..just do it, and see the effect of changes you make [15:56] unclemike, not the release version... [15:56] unclemike: best wait four days [15:56] bazhang, if you would know a way to do this I would be very very thankful! :p [15:57] k [15:57] matt444: you only need write permissions on the parent directory to delete a file. You don't need permissions on the file [15:57] bent_, is that the 943? [15:57] xomp: Well, edubuntu is really just ubuntu with some extra apps. [15:57] matt444-> another device to delete? devices are block or character files ...do delete another file? [15:58] Jack_Sparrow: Yup, infact. BCM94311MCG [15:58] amenado: could you refrase that, i don't understand your question [15:58] bent_, yeah, I know :) I just don't want to get yelled at here for asking a question because it's "not the appropriate channel" :/ [15:58] bent_, let me see if I have any info on that.. [15:58] xomp: it's fine.. in fact starting in 8.04 edubuntu isn't a separate distro anymore, but an ubuntu add-on [15:59] matt444-> you said you want another device to delete files? that does not happen..a device cant be deleting files [15:59] bent have you seen this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607378 [15:59] I still call kubuntu an addon. :P [15:59] astro76, cool :) I just need help with adding users that are "restricted" or "Unprivledged" if that makes sense. [15:59] Paddy_EIRE: back again, i'm thinking screw it, i'll just do a clean install of winxp for a vm [15:59] xomp: wasnt really yelling; just directing to a channel that might be more helpful [15:59] deserteagle: best bet :) [15:59] xomp: whatever method you use to add a new user, they will not be in the admin group by default, i.e. no sudo access [16:00] xomp: you can add them through system > admin > users and groups [16:00] amenado: i'm not talking about /dev/ stuff. another device that's attached to the network. it has an IP address, but it is not a computer. It can delete files, I've done it. I just want to do it in the future without having to change file permissions every time I move a file to this directory. [16:00] xomp: Well, if you add users to specific groups... etc...etc, you can limit them to nearly nothing. [16:00] Paddy_EIRE: i can play games inside virtualbox / vmware right? [16:00] astro76, I have created a user account for my daughter as "Unprivledged" but when I click the "Advanced" tab I notice her "Main group" is empty. Should I change that to any particular group? [16:00] deserteagle: no [16:00] D+ [16:00] D= [16:00] deserteagle: dual boot [16:00] matt444: you only need write permissions on the parent directory [16:00] but... but... but... [16:00] :{ [16:00] xomp: on ubuntu the main group is typically a group with the same name as the user [16:00] deserteagle: not well, and no directx games [16:01] jrib: thanks, i'll give this a shot. [16:01] deserteagle: if you must play games that it [16:01] *is [16:01] bent_, yeah, I'm just trying to restrict them from breaking anything hahah my daughters are 8 & 9 years old [16:01] i must have at least C&C Generals ;_; [16:01] hello [16:01] matt444: what you were originally asking can be accomplished with ACL (Access Control Lists), but I don't think it's necessary here [16:01] and hitman 2 [16:01] deserteagle: check compatibility with winehq.. failing that try cedega its very cheap [16:01] matt444-> am curious what kind of device this is? you allow it to delete a file on your system, does it log on first? [16:01] :D [16:01] xomp: without being in the admin group, they can't do anything outside their home directory by default [16:02] bent_, here is one other... http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ [16:02] hi [16:02] xomp: I'm not shure I'd be opening the terminal and removing all the stuff... but the easiest "not destroy stuff" method is to remove the terminal... and not let them out of their home directory... [16:02] astro76, ok, that should be good enough. I will log in with her account to check permissions :) [16:02] amenado: media streamer. It has an IP address. it accesses the files via samba. it has to use a samba password. [16:02] bent_ chroot jail [16:02] I think my boot problem isn't about timidity, it's the missing so file libSM.so.6 -- there's no such file...how can I fix that? [16:02] bent_, had you seen either of those links [16:03] Jack_Sparrow: I looked at that, and followed it, and still nothing in the 3rd iteration. It just asks to compile by hand, and use a driver I was allready using. Sorry. [16:03] Jack can i ask u a question? [16:03] .ח #ונומאו-64 [16:03] Paddy_EIRE: when setting up a new hdd in virtualbox, i should tell it the same exact size as my existing ntfs partition right? [16:03] this is as a result of applying upgrades to gutsy amazingly enough [16:03] matt444-> now i can comprehend, its an application that log on and then allowed to delete, the way you said it, threw me off, a device allowed to delete.. [16:03] Jack_sparrow [16:03] u got time for a quick ? [16:03] hey, can somebody help me here setting hot keys in Sony Vaio? [16:03] deserteagle: if you are planning on running games the vm will not cut it.. infact I doubt it will work for games at all [16:04] plz pvt me if so [16:04] bent_, I know multiple people that have used tohse pages and gotten their 943's to work [16:04] yeah the vm graphics driver leaves something to be desired [16:04] !keys [16:04] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [16:04] WIDESPREADpanic-> married man are known to practice quickies..haha [16:04] ? [16:04] anyone know how to set up a grub entry to boot USB keys? for the arguments sake, let's say that /dev/sdb is always a bootable enabled fat16 key. [16:04] Jack_Sparrow: Hm. I guess I'll just do another clean install and follow that. [16:04] thanks everyone, I'm going to try logging in their accounts now :) [16:04] !ask > WIDESPREADpanic [16:04] parallels may have rudimentary graphics for games though [16:05] deserteagle: I would also format the ntfs partition as vmware will create the windows installation/image on your existing fs [16:05] Paddy_EIRE: no worries, i only really need it for 2-3 apps that don't seem to run well under wine (one is a .net app that will launch but not run, another is photoshop untill i can install gimpshop and i forgot the other one) [16:05] hello, anyone know, how to remove broken packages? [16:05] Hello everyone [16:05] Jowi-> just like any entries on your menu.lst it must have the vmlinuz and initrd image to reside on that particular partition [16:05] deserteagle: photoshop 7 works very well in wine [16:05] serge4: Synaptic has a fix packages thing that I had to use once... [16:05] deserteagle, you can run .net apps with mono i do believe [16:05] help : after i run kismet, it knocks me off my wifi, and it did a ifconfig wlan0 -promisc, and took it out of promisc mode, yet i have to reboot to connect back to my wifi, any ideas? [16:05] what IRC client do you recommend? [16:05] hey all im having trouble with my webcam [16:05] xchat [16:05] deserteagle: although I have shifted to gimp and inkscape myself [16:05] serge4, go to synaptic and click on the package that is broken and choose remove [16:06] spe3dy: i ready that a few times, i'll give it a shot [16:06] yeah xchat [16:06] quesada: xchat or irssi [16:06] anyone point me in roght direction? [16:06] * deserteagle googles inkscape [16:06] <[azrael]> hi, how do i get newsgroups on thunderbird work "could not find the server" is coming all the time [16:06] quesada: Gnome, KDE, or other? [16:06] !webcam [16:06] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:06] bent: xfce [16:06] what is the command for updating the package manager list? [16:06] sudo aptitude update [16:06] tomd123, yes but it seems that broken packages are not installed . [16:06] quesada: Well, I'm fond of GTK, so, the Gnome XChat does it for me. [16:06] <[azrael]> hi, how do i get newsgroups on thunderbird work "could not find the server" is coming all the time [16:06] serge4, maybe those package are in cache.. [16:06] deserteagle: inkscape is for vector graphics like adobe illustrator and xara xtreme [16:06] morning folks [16:07] morning [16:07] morning! [16:07] SeaPhor, caution using non-supported repos [16:07] I'm using xchat now. Is there any way to get nicks with different colors? [16:07] mourning Pelo [16:07] [azrael]: What newsgroup are you using? [16:07] ... dumb question. [16:07] hey is sudo ap-get the same as sudo aptitude? [16:07] quesada, yes, it is in the available options [16:07] quesada: xchat or xchat-gnome [16:07] amenado, I tried that. problem I encountered is that disk(1,0), which I believe is /dev/hdb is not recognised by grub [16:07] anyone know how I can get those lines of text that display during boot with various error msg ? [16:07] Leonidas_: No, aptitude is better [16:07] [azrael]: What isp are you using for your newsgroups? === murlidhar_ is now known as murlidhar [16:07] Jack_Sparrow, xchat [16:07] Paddy_EIRE, long time no see [16:07] :) [16:07] Leonidas_: close, but aptitude when run with no arguments has an interactive interface [16:07] Leonidas_: makes no difference apt-get or aptitude [16:08] ? [16:08] haha [16:08] Pelo: virtual terminal one i think [16:08] Ok [16:08] Pelo: I have no idea what I have been doing... >_> lost the head again I guess :D [16:08] deserteagle, crtl alt f2 ? [16:08] yep [16:08] shows mine [16:08] I just did sudo apt-get update and sudo aptitude update and it was exactly the same [16:08] err, Pelo: F1 [16:08] Paddy_EIRE, JUst like swimming, you will remember.. or drown [16:08] <[azrael]> bent_ i tried some like de.comp.os.unix.linux none is working... [16:08] <[azrael]> 119 i think [16:08] of course it does [16:08] maybe it makes a difference with different apps? [16:08] Leonidas_: The real difference is when you need to remove something [16:08] Jack_Sparrow: I'll probably attack it later. I'm too happy transfering most of my hard drive from another computer at 7.1mbs. [16:08] updating a package list is updating a package list [16:09] Jack_Sparrow: yeah... lol [16:09] Jack_Sparrow: i just did a fresh install and my xchat is old [16:09] Jack_Sparrow: just found out about sftp. :P [16:09] Jack_Sparrow, I can't find the nick colors settings in the options [16:09] ok, all seems to be well other than an issue with my xorg.conf not being read properly in her user account. I can't enable "Customized" effects with CCSM :( [16:09] How do you guys make your names a different color when you are talking directly to me>? [16:09] Leonidas_: like this? [16:09] Hello. After chaning monitor to widescreen bootsplash looks very stretched. How to fix it? [16:09] SeaPhor, DOnt worry about the latest xchat. use the one from our repos that is tested and works [16:09] yes [16:09] we don't your client does [16:09] deserteagle, crtl alt f1 it is , thanks [16:09] Leonidas_: say someone's nick at the start of a line [16:09] :) [16:09] your chat client sees your nick and "highlights" [16:09] * Pelo now only needs to figure out how to copy that stuf [16:10] [azrael]: Have you configured thunderbird for your isp's settings? Mine's news.verizon.net ... for example. [16:10] Starnestommy hello [16:10] did that work? [16:10] Leonidas_: yes [16:10] Pelo: i think it should be in a log somewhere [16:10] Leonidas_: I could use colours, but it would probably get me banned [16:10] Testing [16:10] deserteagle, my boot log is always empty [16:10] <[azrael]> bent_ i have no idea [16:10] Pelo, dmesg ? [16:10] Leonidas_, oh my god a highlighted name RUN! [16:10] Jack_Sparrow, how do I use that ? [16:10] Shepherd haha [16:10] fahadsadah: the color blocking mode +c is set on most freenode channels [16:10] Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that? the one i had before auto-completed with tab, this one just displays a list ? [16:11] Damn! [16:11] Starnestommy got it now thanks [16:11] SeaPhor, type another letter or two, this is a busy place [16:11] I'm having problems with apt now, after booting in recovery mode...tried to reinstall X, but apt fails every time with "pre-removal script returned error 127" [16:11] [azrael]: Well, you can't just type in that news group to login. Your ISP... usually... offers a news group server that you have to use. What isp do you have? [16:11] Jack_Sparrow, nvm, got it [16:11] Pelo, sorry I wasnt faster [16:11] Have any of you had to get a Creative Zen Vision M running? [16:11] <[azrael]> bent_ forget it i don't know anything [16:11] quesada: have you tried settings > preferences > interface > textbox > textbox appearance > Colored nicknames? [16:11] I can't seem to get it working correctly [16:12] * Pelo came in the channel, asked a question , got a quick answer and learned something, this community stuff is awesome [16:12] :) [16:12] [azrael]: What company do you pay for internet? :P [16:12] [azrael]: Leonidas_ I have a zen V Plus running, fwiw [16:12] !helpersnack Jack_Sparrow deserteagle [16:12] !helpersnack Jack_Sparrow [16:12] isp news servers though tend to have lame retention and usually don't carry the good binary groups [16:12] !helpersnack deserteagle [16:12] hehe [16:12] dublpaws what is fwiw? [16:12] <_aeGIs> I've installed AbiWord and would like msword mime type ICONS associated with it but can't seem to figure out how. I've done the actual mime type assication, and it opens Abiword fine... However, it still uses the OpenOffice icon which I do not like... Any ideas? [16:12] someone needs a | [16:12] !helpersnack fahadsadah [16:12] bot dead again apparently [16:12] [azrael]: The other... much simpler option is to use groups.google.com, and be done. [16:12] Leonidas_: for what it's worth [16:12] <_aeGIs> assication = association [16:13] !helpersnack fahadsadah [16:13] <[azrael]> bent_ what a §(%=) question [16:13] Jack_Sparrow, thanks that works [16:13] when I run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in my admin account, will any changes I made take effect on other user accounts? Because after i did that command it fixed compiz for me, now when I log in under my daughters account, I get "Can't enable effects", which is the same message I was getting before the "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and since she has a restricted account, I can't run this command :( [16:13] !helpsnack | Jack_Sparrow deserteagle [16:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about helpsnack - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:13] Pelo, you killed our bot.. [16:13] dublpaws i see [16:13] what's a helpersnack? [16:13] !helpersnack | Pelo [16:13] Pelo: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [16:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:13] sigh, [16:13] oh [16:13] bazhang, thanks but I haven'T done anything ;-), today anyway [16:13] dublpaws I tried using gnomad 2, amarok, and rythembox, they all recognize the player, but they crash and run slow and you know, just... buggy [16:14] Pelo: you were overdue ;] [16:14] xomp: I'd hope they do. [16:14] oops. is there a way to reinstall grub. I deleted my linux partition on my dual boot, i didn't realize that would wipe away the mbr also [16:14] Pelo, even if you dont know the answer, helping people form better questions helps us all. [16:14] bent_, hope they can run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? [16:14] http://rafb.net/p/fQI5wm15.html [16:14] ethand: Well, there is a grub bootable disk that you can use. [16:14] Oh, by the way if the guys are in here that gave me those link the other night it's greatly appreciated! [16:14] Jack_Sparrow, ;-) [16:14] xomp: I don't think so, I could check on my computer. [16:15] <_aeGIs> I've installed AbiWord and would like msword mime type ICONS associated with it but can't seem to figure out how. I've done the actual mime type association, and it opens Abiword fine... However, it still uses the OpenOffice icon which I do not like... Any ideas? [16:15] is this under the monitor section or just plain at the botom of the conf file? [16:15] bent: what do you recommend? [16:15] bent_, that's alright, I can try. I haven't assuming they wouldn't be able too, but you never know haha [16:15] xomp: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root" [16:15] hello [16:15] * Pelo rubs "export DISPLAY:=0 && firefox" in Jack_Sparrow face [16:15] xomp: You're okay. [16:15] bent_, ah, ok. [16:15] ubuntu-newb, hello [16:15] bent_, any clue how I can run that command under their account as root? [16:16] Jack_Sparrow, much better :-)) [16:16] help : after i run kismet, it knocks me off my wifi, and it did a ifconfig wlan0 -promisc, and took it out of promisc mode, yet i have to reboot to connect back to my wifi, any ideas? [16:16] I have a question I hope someone has an answer to [16:16] SeaPhor, good [16:16] LSG thanks for all your help the other night. : >) [16:16] bent_, I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it prompts me for my daughters password, which has no admin/root privs. [16:16] it seems VERY simple, I feel like I've spent 3 hours with the solutioon under my nose, but don't know how to get it working [16:16] Hi. Where can I find the Intel Grpahics Media Accelerator Chipset driver for Ubuntu? On intel site I could only find the RPM... [16:16] Jack_Sparrow, have u installed hardy? [16:16] xomp: Well, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to do that in an admin account... but you could make that account a sudoer for a bit, I guess. [16:16] Jack_Sparrow, do you know of a gui ftp server? [16:16] ubuntu-newb, jsut ask the question, this is a busy chanenl as you can see [16:16] murlidhar, Yes on one of my spare machines [16:16] xomp: It affects the whole computer. [16:17] Hello everyone, how do I choose which flash-plugin to use if I've got multiple ones installed? [16:17] SeaPhor, Sorry.. no, I dont ftp much [16:17] bent_, ok, my user account is admin and I did "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it didn't effect this new user account I just created :( [16:17] Jack_Sparrow, cuz i am having troubles with internet in hardy . it doesn't work when i boot from hardy kernel [16:17] !hardy > murlidhar [16:17] rainarrow: flip a coin :P [16:17] rainarrow, flash -config I beleive [16:17] http://rafb.net/p/fQI5wm15.html [16:17] is this under the monitor section or just plain at the botom of the conf file? [16:17] Gotcha. I'm running Gutsy on an old Dell desktop. I initially installed it at an office behind a firewaall (using proxy) and later took it home. initially I couldn't get online until I removed the proxy from the settings, etc. After doing so I was able to get online. that was 2-3 days ago [16:17] xomp: Really? That's odd. Well, I guess the "make her a sudoer" plan would work, just remember to flip that switch back. [16:18] bent_, ok, thanks :) [16:18] later I tried to add that desktop's MAC physicall address to my router so help with internet access rules I had at home. but ever since that, I can't get back online [16:18] later folks [16:18] Jowi-> i went to get coffee... try to run in command line grub and then root ( press tab twice to look for your bootable grub entries [16:18] ubuntu-newb: is it wireless? [16:18] Hi guys [16:18] Jack_Sparrow, i know but i could find anybody who could help me . since u have always helped selflessly i am asking for u a favor [16:19] Pelo, thanks but there's no command "flash" [16:19] Jack_Sparrow, i know but i couldn't find anybody who could help me . since u have always helped selflessly i am asking for u a favor [16:19] ubuntu-newb: Personally, I have no idea, but if you have like... more than one network interface, enshure that you are using the right mac address? [16:19] anyone know if there is a newer distro than 7.10 that is stable that is out yet [16:19] also I tried playing around with Roaming mode/DHCP/Static under Network Manager, but could see that it registered an IP address from my router, and had a Subnet mask, but never could Ping google.com or anywhere else. It's ethernet, not wireless [16:19] larry_: Fedora 8? :P [16:19] larry_: 8.04 will be out in a few days [16:19] amenado, thanks. will have a look [16:19] ubuntu-newb: are you using wifi? [16:19] murlidhar, Can you get on irc with it or no internet at all. [16:19] ok [16:19] how can i force quit firefox? but it is responding. [16:19] Jack_Sparrow, i am able to use internet when i boot from gutsy kernel [16:19] well this desktop does have 2 ethernet ports. 1 is built into Motherboard, which I don't know if it still works, the other is a separate ethernet card,which I plug into [16:19] kool 8.04 is unbuntu rite [16:19] i just got rick rolled and now it wont shut off [16:19] yes [16:20] How can I enable my 3d Acceleration for my ATI X1650? I have my card functioning and have the right resolution, but whenever I enable the xserver-xgl file to use compiz, I get horrible FPS on all windows, and firefox looks terrible when I scroll. Any help would be great as to how I get rid of this "mesa" curse. [16:20] doh.. forgot to close my function.. what an idiot [16:20] Jack_Sparrow, no internet at all [16:20] I have wifi on that Linksys router, but the desktop is plugged Ethernet [16:20] lemme explain a little more of my situation: I just install hardy today, and select that 3rd plugin (neither Gnash or Adobe) for flash when prompted by Firefox [16:20] boy that was a dumb question [16:20] SCARICARE [16:20] mehmet: Open a terminal, hit top, look for firefox, and then look for the number... hit ctrl-c, then type sudo kill (number). [16:20] murlidhar, are you running full hardy or did you try to just add the kernel [16:20] ubuntu-newb: I'd try hard resetting the router [16:20] larry_: There are no dumb questions. [16:20] I've forgot the name of that plugin, but later I found it doesn't work well, so I installed flashplugin-nonfree via apt-get [16:20] larry_: Unless you spell them wrong. [16:20] but seems my Firefox is still using the other flash plugin now [16:20] yeah I was about to do that, I was wondering if you guys can tell me to run some commands from Termainal to diagnose the problem [16:21] How can I enable my 3d Acceleration for my ATI X1650? I have my card functioning and have the right resolution, but whenever I enable the xserver-xgl file to use compiz, I get horrible FPS on all windows, and firefox looks terrible when I scroll. Any help would be great as to how I get rid of this "mesa" curse. [16:21] ubuntu-newb: ifconfig might tell you something usefull [16:21] Auctionedllama, /join #Compiz [16:21] Jack_Sparrow, first i fresh installed hardy with an alternate cd , it didn't have any internet connecttion . so again i had to install gutsy and then upgrade it to hardy [16:21] thanks jack_sparror [16:21] bent_: what number? [16:21] I tried dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree to no avail [16:21] np [16:21] I have a somewhat strange question... I recently installed gutsy (new computer forced me to upgrade) and suddenly there is no option to turn the computer off [16:22] deserteagle, do I need a specific type of coin for this? [16:22] murlidhar, what kind of network card? [16:22] yes I ran that already, my eth0 shows an IP registered. 192.168.2.118 [16:22] mehmet: Well, when you run "top" it lists all programs running. In the row where firefox is, there is a number on the far left. Kill that number. [16:22] but like I said if I do - ping google.com, I get nothing back, it just sits there [16:22] rainarrow, did you uninstall gnash? [16:22] Jack_Sparrow, ethernet [16:22] blotto that is an interesting question; please pastebin your sources.list thanks [16:22] murlidhar, make and model of network card please [16:22] you tried what I suggested yet? please pastebin your sources.list to see if that is the issue [16:22] Jack_Sparrow, lspci gives me 01:05.0 Ethernet controller: MYSON Technology Inc SURECOM EP-320X-S 100/10M Ethernet PCI Adapter [16:22] ubuntu-newb-> try not to use same router as gateway for your two nic cards, or else your packets gets confused as to which gateway to use, (you have to use diff route tables if you really want to) [16:23] mehmet: " 7099 bent 20 0 728m 59m 22m S 4 6.4 0:49.88 rhythmbox" you'd kill the first number. [16:23] Jack_Sparrow, it is an intex card [16:23] Jack_Sparrow, I didn't install gnash in the first place, there's a new plugin beside the adobe one and gnash in hardy [16:23] blotto please stop now [16:23] ko [16:23] Jack_Sparrow, and that's what I chose to install at first [16:23] ubuntu-newb-> also paste in pastebin your route -n [16:23] ubuntu-newb: have you tried pinging a plain IP address ? [16:23] yeah I think the problem is with the Gateway. but how do I configure that? [16:23] Jack_Sparrow, and the worse is I can't remember the name of that plugin...

[16:27] it works when I boot into windows [16:28] on this machine [16:28] bent_, I need the name of that plugin.. [16:28] Vecnah, $ cat /etc/resolv.conf [16:28] rainarrow: Not when I quickly looked for flash in synaptic. [16:28] murlidhar, I cant find anything on that issue.. wish I could help..

[16:29] hi [16:29] hahahahahahha [16:29] huhuhuhu [16:29] Jack_Sparrow, do u think i should file a bug or is it me that i am missing something [16:29] rainarrow: It's gnash for KDE... that's different. :P [16:29] Huh. Fixed it. [16:29] ive had no problems with gimp on my T7300 [16:29] !abuse | thushara [16:29] thushara: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

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) [16:30] bent_, thanks anyway, I chose that new plugin at first, then it won't go away even after I installed flashplugin-nonfree [16:30] !abuse | murlidhar [16:30] murlidhar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [16:30] bent_, and I'm trying to solve that [16:30] lol [16:30] rainarrow: there's a libflash0c2, and libflashsupport. [16:30] ubuntu-newb: it sounds like DNS isn't configured properly at your router, so the domain names aren't being resolved. You might try setting the DNS address to 10.0.0.1 in the router config. [16:30] Veinor is your /etc/resolv.conf okay? [16:30] rainarrow: Ooh! what about libflash-swfplayer? That might be the problem. [16:30] how do I pastebin from that desktop, I'm chatting in this room using another computer? [16:31] hi all [16:31] macbook user needs chown/sudo/permissions assiatnce. anyone have a moment ? [16:31] ubuntu-newb, perhaps a pendrive can help u [16:31] hi [16:31] ubuntu-newb-> you have to manually enter it on a web browser ifyou can not just cut and paste, its a lil work ,but if you wanted help, you have to do your part [16:31] bent_, I'm trying [16:31] AHA, Flash drive? smart idea, gimme a sec [16:31] * kindofabuzz gives ubuntu-newb [16:32] I am wondering if anyone here has experience with wine and alsa sound?

[16:36] Kay, xchat +compiz fusion+ motion blure is fun! [16:36] i just installed jedit.. how do i add it to my applications drop down at the top of my screen [16:36] spe3dy: yes. 'cuz that is what it said in the box. [16:36] motion blur messes with my head bent_ haha [16:36] Anyone know the name of that new flash-plugin(other than adobe and gnash) in 8.04? [16:36] hello everyone [16:36] bent_, yeah its a little crappy name made by ,arketers [16:36] *marketers [16:36] rainarrow: swfdec? [16:36] blur is one of the truly useless plugins [16:37] and it amkes me ill [16:37] Lempface: How'd you install it? [16:37] *makes [16:37] java -jar jedit.jar [16:37] i've got the ubuntu 8.04 rc server running here, i installed the xen package with xen3.2.0 and experience real slow network troughput from the dom0 [16:37] to be fair, all the plugins are uselsss, more or less [16:37] It makes me feel special. Or that I have a pbroken screen. [16:37] well some of the tab plugins are actually useful [16:37] *alt tab plugins [16:38] "turning up motion blur strength is more painful. [16:38] i've got a gbit if (forcedeth) and i get max. 1,7mb throughput via sftp to another gbit if [16:38] what is the equivalent of the PREROUTING chain in ubuntu? [16:38] tomd123, oh! Thanks, seems it's this one [16:38] Ooh, but turning it down low has a nice effect! do it! Now! [16:38] OK guys, I performed route -n, ping that google IP, I went to that Pastebin webpage. which Syntax do I select when I copy & paste? [16:38] yeah, super + tab is nice [16:39] bent_ i installed it with java -jar jedit.jar [16:39] Lempface: Kay, I was sort of quiet because I didn't know, and was hoping someone else would jump in. [16:39] And motion blur distracted me. [16:40] hey once the final release of ubuntu comes out can we just run the update or would we have to download it and install it after a format? [16:40] Does anyone know how to change the picture used for the show-hide buttons in gnome panels? [16:40] ubuntu, you can update [16:40] you could update, but it's infinitely better to clean install [16:40] should work fine [16:40] ubuntu: Running the normal upgrade should be okay. [16:40] awesome, thanks [16:40] could anyone give me an idea what might cause the slow networkperformance with xen [16:40] i agree with VoidedCheck though, i prefer a clean install [16:40] would be highly appreciated [16:40] Thirded! [16:40] ill probably do that then [16:41] Ok I have a fresh install of 7.10 32bit - i turned off wpa2 on my router, and i still cant get rtl8185 to work but i think its me and not the machine [16:41] [how] can i make apt download multiple files at once? [16:41] sparr_: just add the name after the previous one [16:41] Bad Sector - Negative [16:42] :) [16:42] sparr_: like this: sudo apt-get install apache firefox [16:42] sparr_: when you type apt-get install... add as many programs as you want. [16:42] aimchanger: key words, "at once" [16:42] sparr_: that will install apache and firefox for example [16:42] aimchanger: as opposed to "sequentially" [16:42] sparr_: yes I know I know [16:43] tomd123, it's is the swfdec, I forgot I could just right-click->About to look for the name, how stupid of me [16:43] sparr_: I'm not too sure.. it probably would be that much faster anyways [16:43] Jack_Sparrow, do u think i should file a bug or is it me that i am missing something [16:43] amenado: which Syntax do I use when I paste the output of Terminal into that Pastebin webpage? [16:44] can anyone here tell me what a release candidate is [16:44] syntax is only for highlighting, you can ignore it mostly [16:44] aimchanger: it would be much faster :( [16:44] cew: better than a beta, less than a release [16:44] Will gnash work correctly for Youtube-player in hardy? last time i trid it the buttons have been crippled [16:44] can i update from rc to final in 4 days [16:44] hmm i can't even run jedit from the commandline after install [16:44] i just asked that cew [16:44] says no such command as jedit, but im certain thats the correct command [16:44] ubuntu-> route -n results is what i wanted [16:44] and yes you can [16:45] jedit isnt in the base system [16:45] long as she doan' rain [16:45] did you install it? [16:45] hi... how to check how video memory is in use? [16:45] yes tiocsti [16:46] used java -jar jedit.jar to install and it worked [16:46] what shell do you use? if using csh style shells (tcsh, what have you) try entering rehash then try jedit again [16:46] but after that jedit doesn't open [16:46] Seveas, could u come to #ubuntu-offtopic please [16:46] otherwise, check to see where jedit was installed [16:46] Seveas, u are needed there [16:46] hi... how to check how video memory is in use? [16:46] Is there anyway I can add myself back to sudousers (or whatever that group is called) via ssh [16:46] using whatever terminal is the base install [16:47] without hard access or another account [16:47] Does anyone know how to change the picture used for the show-hide buttons in gnome panels? [16:47] ok amenado I think I figured out the Pastebin lol. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63840/ [16:47] I messed up my account permissions by accident [16:47] kyleky: you can edit the sudoers file, but I forgot where that is. [16:47] kyleky: I'ma go look. [16:47] amenado: I had to select Bash for the Pastebin syntax, I guess it doesn't matter [16:47] can i edit that without sudo? [16:47] how do i rehash tiocsti [16:48] amenado: but do you see what is needed from that pastebin address? [16:48] hi... how to check how video memory is in use? [16:48] rehash is a shell builtin in *csh [16:48] kyleky: Erm, you might not be able to. But, you can boot into the recovery console, and have root from there. [16:48] ubuntu-newb-> can you use another nick, am tired of typing ubuntu, [16:48] i think i can do it from there [16:48] but it's mor elikely that jedit installed itself somewhere thats not in your path [16:48] hi... how to check how video memory is in use? [16:48] its just i dont have hard access [16:48] amenado: yeah I understand sorry bout that. gimme a sec, [16:48] * kindofabuzz gives ubuntu-newb [16:48] until tomorrow [16:49] think its /home/lempface/jedit [16:49] hi... how to check how video memory is in use?

[16:50] unxuxuL try lspci in terminal s [16:50] back [16:50] - the s [16:50] someone said something to me? [16:51] what is the executable file i'm looking for to run jedit? im pretty new to linux [16:51] looooong ago [16:51] ubuntu: ok.. tks... I will try it [16:51] gigantor: yay, another fios user. :P [16:51] let's say im downloading ten packages. nine 1MB packages from a fast repository, and one 1MB package from a slow repository. for the sake of argument, let's say that "fast" is 90kB/s and "slow" is 10kB/s. apt is going to spend 100 seconds downloading the first nine packages, then 100 more seconds downloading the last package. [16:51] if i could get apt to download both at the same time, and pessimistically assuming that I have a bandwidth cap of 90kB/s, the whole process would only take 111 seconds, instead of 200 seconds. does that shed light on my goal? [16:51] ubuntu: this commando does not tell me about memory [16:52] sparr_: Unless they are linked, just install them seperately? [16:52] sparr_: does not work that way [16:52] hold please [16:52] bent_ : How can I check how much video memory is in use? [16:52] bent_: how does that help? [16:52] bazhang: does not work [the way im looking for]? [16:52] sparr_: indeed not [16:52] lemp; i would guess find /usr -name jedit but i dont use jedit, so it's tough to say [16:52] bazhang: i could swear ive seen apt showing multiple download progress meters at the same time, without my asking it to [16:53] amenado: it's me ubuntu-newb [16:53] lemp: that should display all the files named jedit (eventually) [16:53] sparr_: but that is outside your control [16:53] bazhang: :( [16:53] amenado: did you look at my pastebin? [16:53] sparr_: Well, download what you want from the fast repo first, then the other stuff later. But, it tends to not work that way, instead going in the order you wanted to do them. If you are really in a pickle, you could download .deb files from somewhere else. [16:53] scotti1-> okay..yeah the route table looks okay, now lets see the contents of /etc/resolv.conf [16:53] tiocsti, it ran from a /usr/jedit/jeditver/java -jar jedit.jar [16:54] bent_: the order does not affect the total time, in the sequential example. [16:54] anyway to add that to the shell or to my applications menu drop down at top of screen [16:54] bazhang: so far, in my experience, "outside your control" with apt means "[un/poorly] documented feature" [16:54] try googling it unuxu [16:54] scotti1-> btw you can ping 72.14.207.99 so it seems its okay now? [16:55] hi [16:55] bazhang: and the people with the most apt experience are distro snobs :( [16:55] Unxuxu: what is your goal with video memory usage [16:55] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63842/ [16:55] i'm trying to compile a list of wireless producers ...

You still have to wait for the last file to finsish. Eh, sorry, don't understand what is wrong with apt at this point. [16:57] what library do i need to (re)install to enable speedstepping back?

[17:03] scotti1-> may as well, go ahead and paste it [17:03] sriramoman: using Gnome or KDE? [17:03] Gnome [17:04] hmm, maybe you can still manage that hrough kcontrol, try to run it in a terminal [17:04] ok [17:04] scotti1-> you also seemed to be missing "search adomain.name.net" on your resolv.conf it can be a dummy domain. but thats how i have mine [17:05] ok, i installed mono [17:05] now how do i get a windows app that needs .net to run in wine?

[17:08] can anyone tell me of a program that i can use to create a video dvd with menu, background and ecc? [17:08] what would be a oneline command to run a program in /usr/jedit/jeditver/, it runs from java -jar jedit.jar [17:09] jade: the underlying game support is bound to be similar (basically wine) [17:09] so i can add it to the gnome menu [17:10] david567: devede may be worth a look [17:10] darn, seems like all the docs I read people have no problem with World of Warcraft on ubuntu or if they do the 'fix' out here seem to fix it [17:10] Lemp-> jars are run off of java, soyou cant get away from having java as the command line [17:10] devede, i will see what i can find [17:10] amenado: when I typed dig yahoo.com, it just there a second and then says whatever is in this Pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63843/ [17:10] amenado: it *sat* there a second [17:10] hi to everybody [17:11] i have modified the keybindings in ubuntu, and now i don't know how to set them up to defaults [17:11] amenado: you said I need to add a domain to search in Resolv.conf? which url should I put? [17:11] scotti1-> that tells me the name server you are using is not resolving for you.. [17:11] if i open gnome-keybinding [17:11] Was für Dateien sind im Verzeichnis /etc/fonts/conf.d/ gespeichert: Von welchen Programmen werden sie ausgewertet? [17:11] in the play/pause field it appears XF86Play instead of 0xa2 [17:12] how can i set them to the default values? [17:12] scotti1-> try search myhome.sweethome.net just a dummy domain or your real domain if you got one [17:12] Jadewolf: mandrive may have more drivers out of the box (non free) but it depends on rpm and ubuntu uses apt which is better with dependencies--game playing will largely be the same most likely [17:12] amenado: no I don't have my own website domain if that's what you mean. I will try the one you just gave. 1 sec [17:13] where does thunderbird store email? [17:13] and is there a way to merge two of those files? [17:13] scotti1-> still, your dns server at 192.168.2.1 is not resolving for you...check the dhcp configs of your dsl/router [17:14] How can I remove foo.* but not foo.tex? [17:15] ryan rm -f `echo *|grep -v '\.tex$'` or something (just off the top of my head) [17:15] err that echo * should be echo foo.* [17:15] wow, yeah that'll work [17:15] tiocsti: thanks :D [17:15] if its a small number of files you could just do rm -i [17:15] alguem ai pode me ajudar [17:15] and hit no on the one you want to save [17:16] anyone know where the nautulus logo is stored?

It shows up in df. When I unmount it, it doesnt show up in df, but I can still get a file listing from it and access the files... what is going on? [17:18] amenado: I entered the line "search myhome.sweethome.net" above the "nameserver 192.168.2.1" in Resolve.conf, then I did the networking restart, but it does the same thing. I think you are right about the DNS not resolving...i checked my Linksys router settings. I am using Tomato which is another firmware [17:18] sharperguy: /usr/share/icons/hicolor [17:19] sharperguy: I turned that up using the 'locate' command line utility [17:19] Lo_Pan, ty [17:19] LogicalDash, ty [17:19] i can't login [17:20] amenado: it uses Static DHCP which means any new computer will be assigned any number thru DHCP, unless you go into the firmware and specify a specific number for that MAC address. so in other words, my ubuntu desktop was already assigned a random IP, since I was able to Ping that google IP....what do I need to do> [17:22] LogicalDash, hmm. there a few files called nautilus, but the just show a weird snail thing [17:23] hey people [17:24] where are the aplications stored in Ubuntu [17:24] ngon, mostly in /usr/bin [17:24] ok.

[17:27] ok. user/bin correct. now, how do i save 'favorites' in XMMS ? [17:28] so would I go to Resolv.conf and say "search 24.25.5.148" instead of myhome.sweethome.net? [17:28] perfect thanks :) [17:28] doesn't appear they have that utility. pity. [17:29] hi, I have a gprs modem and I would appreciate if anyone can put me through how to set it up [17:29] nsandiman, go on [17:29] scotti1-> no, instead of nameserver 192.168.2.1 use nameserver 24.25.5.148 [17:29] netselect-apt in ubuntu downloads debian package lists... this should probably be mentioned during the install, or even the description? [17:29] nsandiman, details of the particular modem and what you've done so far would probably help [17:30] amenado: OHH....i sound like a newb. lol [17:30] ok, it is a MobiData gprs [17:30] how do you alter screen resolution? Can't find it in appearance preferences? [17:30] nsandiman, did u use wvdial ? [17:30] If I install ubuntu today will I be able to upgrade without much to the new one coming out in a few days?

[17:52] bazhang, how can I know :< [17:52] actually, it is a MobiData GPRS modem [17:52] bazhang, I installed the ubuntu cd I got some day ago [17:52] nsandiman, i think i found the error . do sudo wvdialconfig u did sudo wvdial [17:52] I have a package, which depends on "python" package version. It needs <2.5 version, and my 7.04 has 2.5.1. How can I install this package? [17:52] thank you [17:53] _question_: it sounds like a problem with your repositories [17:53] assargadon you can install python 2.4 with synaptic [17:53] assargadon: try installing python2.4 [17:53] <_question_> Starnestommy: Where can I find information as to how to fix this? [17:53] I installed "python2.4", but as far as dependencie linked to "python" version, not to "python2.4" package, it doesn't helps [17:53] Eagle_Boy: Do you have an OS installed with X curently on that PC? [17:54] I did sudo wvdialconfig and I got command not found [17:54] assargadon what are you trying to install that has this dependancy conflict? [17:54] lucia_: that is a debian and not an ubuntu kernel what have you done [17:54] bazhang, any idea? [17:54] bazhang, how is that possible?!?! [17:54] nsandiman: pppconfig ?? [17:54] odinsbane, emc2 [17:55] nsandiman, u did sudo wvdial only see the pastebin that u gave me [17:55] _question_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list. There might be something wrong in that [17:55] lucia_: no idea; please go to www.ubuntu.com/download and get the real deal === lucia_ is now known as n-iCe [17:55] erUSUL, he wants to connect gprs to his laptop [17:55] jewjew: I am dual booting (or at least trying) [17:55] murlidhar: wvdial is an X11 app [17:55] bazhang, man I ordered it, is original cd [17:55] i just did sudo pppconfig and am asked to provide some provider parameters [17:55] jewjew: I was wondering if my new Nvidia card has something to do with it [17:56] murlidhar: i see... i thought it was a normal dial-up conection [17:56] assargadon do you have a debian package to install it, or are you compiling it from source? [17:56] Or are you using python setup.py install? [17:56] ikonia, does it mean it won't work? [17:56] Eagle_Boy_:It could [17:56] bazhang, the thing is, how to activate my wifi [17:56] murlidhar: sudo + X11 apps = no [17:56] <_question_> Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7602/ [17:56] n-iCe: then you did something to change kernels, to a debian one, and is not supported here [17:56] murlidhar: gksu or gksudo [17:56] odinsbane, I have a debian package [17:56] Eagle_Boy_: What card is it? [17:56] since it's the new NVidia 9800 GX2 [17:56] ikonia, i used wvdial and it worked [17:56] murlidhar: that doesn't matter, it can cause issues later [17:57] !worksforme | murlidhar [17:57] murlidhar: 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. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [17:57] ikonia, wvdial on terminal works absolutely fine unless u close the terminal [17:57] ikonia, try it once [17:57] murlidhar: if you are not using the X11 interface, it is fine, if you are trying to use the X11 interface - it is not [17:58] Eagle_Boy_: oh wow [17:58] ikonia, i am not using x11 interface [17:58] murlidhar: right, so when I said "it's an X11 interface" you should say "no" not "yes" [17:58] how to i make terminal see a folder so i can install a file [17:58] LordInfamous: cd into it [17:58] LordInfamous: cd = change directory [17:58] so cd /home ? [17:58] LordInfamous thats it [17:59] thanks [17:59] _question_: all sorts of lines were commented out there. Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with http://paste.ubuntu.com/7603/ then run sudo apt-get update [17:59] Hey, everyone! I set up Samba on my laptop running Ubuntu. I have this desktop running XP, and I can see my laptop's samba share from XP but I can't see any workgroups in Ubuntu, therefore I can't see any of the computers, either. [17:59] What do I need to do to fix this? [17:59] i can't loggin [17:59] ikonia, could u help LordInfamous , he wants to fix his mbr . he is not able to do from his windows disk since his disk does not read the partition [18:00] Eagle_Boy_: Have you tried any other live CDs? [18:00] <_question_> Starenstommy: thank [18:00] n-iCe: you are lucia_ correct? whatever you did to your install (changing to a debian kernel) is not supported here; good luck getting it to work [18:00] hello [18:00] murlidhar: you don't need to be able to see a partition to fix an mbr [18:00] ikonia, i gave him this link but ms-sys is not in the repos it seems so http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 [18:00] jewjew: I haven't [18:01] ikonia, not even from windows recovery console ? [18:01] i can't loggin [18:01] murlidhar, after providing some configuration parameters for the pppconfig utility, am at the Authentication Method stage. The following are the options: PAP, Chat, CHAP [18:01] Eagle_Boy_: I'd try a Hedgy DVD [18:01] which do I select? [18:01] jewjew: I have used the Live CDs on my laptop and other box so I know the CDs work (at least the 32-bit version) [18:01] murlidhar: no, the boot record is not on a patition [18:01] how can i select all emails and forward them using the option Quoted? it seems to attach the emails into one big message, but i want to forward all emails separately.. how can i do this other then selecting 1 and press forward... (it are 700 emails) [18:01] out of interest [18:01] bazhang, thanks [18:01] jewjew: that is still in beta right? [18:01] i can't login [18:01] Eagle_Boy_: It would be useful to know what errors you're getting when X crashes [18:01] hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go... [18:02] Eagle_Boy_: It's a Release Client [18:02] ikonia, i know but the recovery console shows where the windows is installed , so that u could install the mbr on that hard disk [18:02] Clinteger: have you setup sharing in XP ok? try manually trying the IP address of another LAN computer to connect to into firefox; sometimes it's a WINS problem or something of that ilk so you can't use the hostnames, so I understand [18:02] assargadon I'm stumped, I think dpkg has a way to look for different packages, you could always try getting the source and see how it works out. [18:02] im trying to follow instructions to install this program, ms-sys. when i try to compile it it says theres no such file eventhough terminal is in /home [18:02] jewjew:I wish I could see them, since it's a live boot I doubt any logs are created and saved [18:02] murlidhar: is that not the boot disk ? [18:02] ikonia, it is not showing where the windows is installed according to LordInfamous [18:02] jewjew: It's a Release Candidate. [18:02] LordInfamous: what is the basic proble,m [18:02] ace12345 I've tried using the IP and the hostname, neither work :/ [18:02] jejew: I pre-order a copy of the CD so hopefully I get them soon [18:03] odinsbane, in any case, thanks for effort :) [18:03] Eagle_Boy_: It might give error messages if you switch to another virtual terminal [18:03] LordInfamous, are you doing ./COMMAND to run it? [18:03] <_question_> Starnestommy: everything works, thanks [18:03] Eagle_Boy_: it's not released yet, why would it get there soon ? [18:03] i am trying to install ms-sys because for some reason it is not in repositories [18:03] nsandiman, it is better if u use wvdial rather than pppconfig [18:03] LordInfamous: why ? what does ms-sys do ? [18:03] I guess I could try to install it via text mode [18:03] LordInfamous: what is your end goal [18:04] it will help me fix my master boot record for windows [18:04] jewjew: But I don't feel like waiting 6hrs to DL the image :p [18:04] LordInfamous, Just use the ubuntu LiveCD or windows recovery CD [18:04] LordInfamous: what is wrong with the mbr on your windows disk ? [18:04] i cant boot into windows and when i use windows cd it cant see the hd [18:04] when i use windows cd to enter repair commands [18:04] Clinteger: have you set the hostname of your Ubuntu computer? Although I haven't and it's working OK here... not sure, good luck though [18:04] i am on livecd now [18:04] LordInfamous, for fixing the master boot record login from the windows cd and say fixmbr [18:04] LordInfamous: ok, can you see the windows disk from your ubuntu install ? [18:04] LordInfamous, just ask ikonia that u want to fix mbr since none of ur operating system is booting [18:05] i am not in ubuntu install, im just on livecd [18:05] ace12345, yes, I see the "ubuntu" computer in my workgroup from XP, and I can access its shares. However, I can't access XP's shares from ubuntu. [18:05] LordInfamous, anyway, use ./COMMAND from the home directory to run the command from the current directoroy, not just COMMAND [18:05] ikonia, yeah he is in livecd [18:05] Eagle_Boy_: Try switching terminals when X crashes or while it's loading [18:05] murlidhar: but can that see the windows disk ? [18:05] can i somehow give my virtual desktops a different wallpaper? [18:05] jewjew: how? [18:05] i just found out about the media player "exaile" ... it absolutely rocks!! :-) [18:06] nsandiman, did u sudo wvdialconfig ??? [18:06] jewjew: it only lets me do the normal or safe mode [18:06] amaroks more [18:06] yes but it is not a command [18:06] mnemo, agreed. Have you checked ou the "dynamic" checkbox? it finds similar music to that currently playing and automatically adds it to your playlist [18:06] ikonia, i guess the super grub should do the magic [18:06] bXi, unfortunate it is not impliment yet afaik [18:06] arvind_khadri: why ? [18:06] Eagle_Boy_: CTRL + ALT + F(#) [18:06] Clinteger: when you try to access it via the IP if FF or something, you are prefixing it with smb://, e.g. smb://192.168.0.3, right? [18:06] dmsuperman: for real? sounds like magic [18:07] arvind_khadri: his disk cant' bee seen, he wants a windows mbr - why would "super grub" cd be of any use ? [18:07] murlidhar: you've got to be kidding O_o [18:07] ikonia, as he can fix the mbr if he doesnt have his windows cd [18:07] arvind_khadri, i am with you , SGD can do the magic [18:07] ace12345, yes, I've tried it, and no folders show up, but when I do smb://192.168.1.64/sharedfolder it doesn't work, either [18:07] arvind_khadri: he does have a windows CD - but it can't see the partition [18:07] mnemo, its quite amazing, i use it while i'm doing work and such, just throw up a song of the musci type i want to listen to and check dynamic and hit play [18:07] jewjew: I guess I could create a new session while it continues to attempt to load X under the main session [18:07] ikonia, thats what is weird ....so why not super grub [18:07] bXi, i said afaik (AsFarAsIKnow) [18:07] dmsuperman: sweet [18:08] I've got so many Hardy problems, I don't know where to even start ... [18:08] Clinteger, can you access that same share from a windows pc? [18:08] When will firefox start working on Hardy? [18:08] dmsuperman, yes, I can access ubuntu's shares from my windows pc, but it doesn't work the other way around. [18:08] jewjew: I will try that out right now if it don't work you will see me back in here in a few [18:08] What program can I use to extract the tracks from .cue and .ape files? [18:08] Eagle_Boy_: Well X loads from another terminal session [18:08] arvind_khadri: because if his partition can't be seen and we have not yet esblished if his ubuntu disk can see the parititon, what is the point of a.) using a boot cd that won't be able to see his disk b.) putting a boot loader on (grub) that won't allow him to boot a partition that can't be seen [18:08] alright [18:08] no no, can you access your windows shares from another windows machine [18:08] murlidhar, I tried sudo wvdialconf and it works [18:09] on hardy rc1 is it possble to remove firefox 3 beta 5 and install 2.0.0.14? [18:09] nsandiman, good so does it recognise ur phone ? [18:09] Clinteger, to see if perhaps windows isn't allowing it to go outbound. Try to dualboot a windows install, or get one of those cds that you can use as a windows live cd, and try it out [18:09] ikonia, he doesnt have ubuntu installed does he [18:09] ubuntu partiton manager can see the partition, but it can only see that there is a problem with it adn when i try to repair it thorugh that it gets an error [18:09] arvind_khadri: he's on the livecd [18:09] dmsuperman, the same laptop is dual booted. I can see the shares from the laptop when its in windows. [18:09] and i can access the shares from the other windows pcs in the house as well [18:09] bXi, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/93/ [18:09] when will gnome panel stop crashing on Hardy? [18:09] How can I update my kernel? [18:09] ubuntu just seems to only work one way. [18:10] When will gnome terminal start working on hardy?

However, he likes to tinker on the computer etc. I have him running Ubuntu but would like to be able to do remote desktop (VNC) through the internet to his computer (not on a daily basis but when he needs my help). We had it working locally when he was here on LAN, but I can't seem to get it to work via internet. I [18:24] nsandiman, so this was set by u ? Phone = *99# [18:24] modding [18:24] yes [18:24] mnemo: should be able to do sudo apt-get source sudo, and it'll dump it to your PWD [18:24] how do you set up a playlsit for mplayer?

I figured what I needed to do was enter vncviewer name-laptop: IP address here [18:24] modding [18:25] Dante123, http://portforward.com/ [18:25] Use that as a guide, and forward the port for VNC. I believe VNC uses 5900, but double check [18:25] ace12345: awesome, that worked... thanks a ton! [18:25] nsandiman, great there u are , now just type sudo wvdial . u should get the dns server address in the terminal . once u get it , it means that u are connected ::))) [18:25] dmsuperman is this something I can tell him to type into a terminal and it will work (it has to be simple instructions for him) [18:25] Why Ubuntu is better than other distros? [18:25] mnemo: no problem [18:26] Dante123, even easier, it's as simple as going to the router configuration page :D [18:26] nsandiman, to disconnect just close the terminal [18:26] Dante123, That website will literally hold your hand and walk you through it [18:26] but he has dsm model not a router [18:26] dsl modem I mean dmsuperman [18:26] i just did that and am sending you the output [18:26] SammIndustrie, not sure if you have seen this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455147 also, there might be some specific option that needs to be passed on to the snd module to enable headphone support like here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455147 [18:27] Dante123, hrm, there's no router that he's behind anywhere? and did you enable a firewall on his computer? [18:27] nsandiman, so ar e u able to connect to the internet [18:27] Dante123, if not then I'd say the ISP is blocking the port, since there's no reason you shouldn't be able to [18:27] Dante123, Personally, I would rather just enable SSH on his PC so I can SSH in and help him when needed [18:27] murlidhar, kindly check the following link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63849/ [18:28] dmsuperman is there a way to issue a command that would check to see if the port is open or being listened to? [18:28] How do I fix the black screen on boot up? I installed the fglrx driver and I got the blackscreen on boot up [18:28] Eagle_Boy: How'd it go? [18:28] aerlinn, better is a relative term, it really depends on the individual person's needs and preferences - but ubuntu is ideal if you are setting out with linux, it has a good support network, great availability of packages, supports more hardware, etc [18:28] Dante123, you could use a portscanner, but I don't know the names of any particular ones [18:29] Anyone know mates? [18:29] jewjew: It didn't work [18:29] Dante123, just port scan and only use his IP and port [18:29] nsandiman, now sudo wvdialconf again and see if it reconizes the phone [18:29] jewjew: it loads just the kernel and the only directory visible is the Desktop folder [18:29] what time is hardy going to be released on the 24th [18:29] unop: OpenSusE users said to me that ubuntu sux [18:29] dmsuperman, I have just done a standard install of ubuntu and have not setup a firewall. I would only do the vnc thing when I had him on the phone and he enabled it from system-->remote desktop...otherwise the rest of the time it will be off [18:29] aerlinn, they lie [18:29] aerlinn: please take this elsewhere thanks [18:29] !ot | aerlinn [18:29] aerlinn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[18:30] Eagle_Boy: Are you sure? How did you figure that out? [18:30] mrunagi, where do you belong to [18:30] hello, im using ubuntu on my ps3. It can detect my bluetooth adapter but i dont know how to connect to bluetooth devices. Can someone help me? [18:30] hello anyone? [18:30] aerlinn, tell them ubuntu sux but less than Suse [18:30] * GPT says 'hello' to Auctionedllama [18:30] I probably can, but I'm not so sure how to set that up with him over the phone. is there a step by step guide that would be easy [18:31] lol hi [18:31] jewjew: Because when it started to flicker between loading and crashing (on the 64-bit under safe graphics mode) I pressed the Alt+F# key and it load the prompt [18:31] arvind_khadri: im in eastern [18:31] What I liked about vnc was that is basically gives me his computer with gui and I see what he sees etc. [18:31] aerlinn, i would take that statement with a pinch of salt - the person/people who told you that probably have some other motive - but the advice to you is that you try ubuntu out to see if it works for you or not, again, there is no good, better or best, ubuntu is just another distro with specific goals and objectives [18:31] I got the black bootup screen.. how do I fix this? [18:31] Dante123, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_install_SSH_Server_for_remote_administration_service [18:31] !hardy | mrunagi [18:31] mrunagi: 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 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [18:31] it is at /dev/ttyUSB0 [18:31] Auctionedllama: What graphics card do you have? [18:31] Hi. I've upgraded to hardy RC. On booting I get :ALERT! /dev/sda2 doesn't exist. How do I combat that? [18:31] arvind_khadri: that doesnt answer my question [18:31] Dante123, but my thinking for the VNC is that the port is being blocked [18:31] X1650 ati [18:32] mrunagi: it is offtopic here [18:32] nsandiman, good now try again wvdial and see what happens [18:32] mrunagi, i think people there will know.... [18:32] Eagle_Boy: and you did an ls, right? [18:32] Does anybody know how to change the default window placement behaviour in Ubuntu from whatever you'd call it currently to a "click to place a new window" method? [18:32] oooooh [18:32] right right [18:32] fadey: Do you know what your HD maps are? Those numbers go to partitions... maybe that got missed somehow. I don't know how to fix that though. [18:32] !hardy | fadey [18:32] fadey: 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 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [18:32] Dante123, Try using port 80, or 8080, or 400, those seem to get good results. and you could always of course enable SSH as well as VNC. It's what I do, because sometimes yeah I want to VNC but usualyl SSH is just what I need ;) [18:32] jewjew: yup, all that came up was the "Desktop" folder [18:32] Auctionedllama: Hm. Have you tried booting in safe graphics mode? [18:32] anyone good out creating routes? I have a dual WAN setup http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html like that link, but it doesn't appear to route traffic back on the interface it came from. Anyone available to help? [18:32] how can I install the bcm43xx module ?????????? [18:32] no, how? [18:32] and inside it was the gtk.Desktop.configure file [18:33] !broadcom | n-iCe [18:33] n-iCe: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [18:33] n-iCe enable restricted drivers perhaps [18:33] Dante123, how? [18:33] anyone know a site where I could get a howto instructions on how to install the 13 plugins for compiz-fusion there was one in ubuntu linux which I loved cause it was step by step but for some strange reason it says I dont have permission to view the thread [18:33] n-iCe: I have a similar one too, but, it didn't work for me. [18:33] Eagle_Boy: That's because it defaults to the users home directory [18:33] which I was viewing a couple of days ago [18:33] bent_, look won't work for me either :< [18:33] n-iCe, Please don't use that many question marks, it's obnoxious [18:33] Eagle_Boy: you have to CD to / to see everything [18:33] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659282 [18:34] that was the link [18:34] jewjew: yes [18:34] and it did nothing [18:34] n-iCe system--->administrations--->restricted drivers [18:34] n-iCe: I just fought for probably greater than 12 hours to get my card to work, and it didn't. Broadcom isn't that good at linux. [18:34] i can see the local ip address, remote ip address, primary ip address , and secondary ip adress, murlidhar [18:34] Dante123: Restricted drivers hardly ever picks up the broadcom drivers, atleast, not for me. [18:34] nsandiman, now that means u r connected :) [18:34] does anyone no how to get USB support in virtualbox? [18:34] I just installed ubuntu on my dad's dell....and it worked fine. [18:34] Does anybody know if ubuntu has a command to like port scan an ip with a specific port? Or how might I check that? [18:34] thanks, murlidhar. :D [18:34] jewjew: I even tried running other common programs but I got a "bash executable not found" [18:35] hi everybody :D [18:35] im using ubuntu on my ps3. It can detect my bluetooth adapter but i dont know how to connect to bluetooth devices. Can someone help me?

[18:35] Dante123, says I need this package: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 [18:35] nsandiman, np just remember the steps that i have told u [18:35] Dante123, try what Starnestommy just suggested :D [18:35] where can i find a list of ubuntu repository mirrors? [18:35] dmsuperman: probably through netcat [18:35] how can I to do to connect the cell bluethoth with pc?? [18:35] actually, I have been developing on windows since 2005, murlidhar [18:35] how can I to do to connect the cell bluethoth with pc?? [18:35] how can I to do to connect the cell bluethoth with pc?? [18:35] Dante123: he is using a debian kernel [18:35] phate: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:35] how can I to do to connect the cell bluethoth with pc?? [18:35] how can I to do to connect the cell bluethoth with pc??

[18:35] i want to start a whole new experience on linux, murlidhar [18:36] anyone know how to get USB support in virtualbox? [18:36] and am finding it an exciting experience murlidhar [18:36] nsandiman, u might require them later. however if u again want to connect then just wvdial . if doesn't happen then let wvdialconf auto configure ur phone [18:36] nsandiman, great to hear that [18:37] Eagle_Boy: I'm going to do some testing [18:37] Starnestommy dmsuperman was trying to help me and he says do what you just said...let me give you the particulars. Says dads ip address is 199.199.199.199 and I want to use vncviewer to come into his computer. I need port 5900 open. What exactly does he type? [18:37] nsandiman, if u want to have an exciting experience then signup at ubuntuforums.org [18:37] Dante123, oooooh. you're using his internal IP, you need his external [18:37] I have already done that murlidhar [18:37] can anyone direct me on howto install compiz-fusion plugins [18:37] jewjew: okay, I guess I could DL the Hardy while I sleep and try again tomorrow [18:37] i have an ubuntu account [18:37] Hey guys, I've got glade3 but is there a libglade binding for python for glade3 in the gutsy repo? [18:38] Dante123, or not, i can't remember if the 199 range is internal or not haha [18:38] nsandiman, nice to hear that [18:38] no, I just made that up. I get him to go to a site that says what his ip address is.....I've already got it working locally. it is through the internet that it won't work [18:38] jewjew: maybe they have a generic driver for my new card [18:38] Dante123, says I need this package: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [18:38] Eagle_Boy: I might be able to help you more if I figure out exactly how an Ubuntu live disc works. I could help more if it was Gentoo ;) [18:38] another challenge you could gracefully apply your expertise to [18:38] Dante123, oh haha [18:38] Eagle_Boy: maybe [18:38] i have a logitech quick call usb device, murlidhar [18:38] Ooh, kde4 is installing now! Yay. [18:39] Dante123, Like I said, try a port scanner from your computer to see if the ISP is blocking it [18:39] dmsuperman forget the ip address I gave....just an example. Say his IP address on the internet is 67.167.67.100 [18:39] nsandiman, what is it ? [18:39] jewjew: side note, how do you get it to beep at me when you message me since I tried notice, msg, privatemsg and they all get blocked by the server [18:39] Dante123, right, but his ISP could be blocking the port 5900 [18:39] nmap -p portnumber hostname (how would I use this command) [18:39] Dante123, in vncviewer or tsclient type: 199.199.199.199:5900 [18:40] i can't get banshee's process to die. It is "uninterruptible" and not even sudo kill -9 will kill it. this looks worrisome and makes CLR look like a platform that takes away user's control over their system :( [18:40] Dante123, so, port scan his computer from yours to see if it even responds [18:40] nsandiman, i don't what is quick call usb device [18:40] Do I need to set up Samba to share my Ubuntu printer with a Windows machine, or can cups do it? What would be easiest? [18:40] it is a logitech quick call usb voip desk phone [18:40] It could be dmsuperman, you are right. Jowi would the command be: vncviewer 199.199.199.199:5900 ???? [18:40] nsandiman, oh ok [18:40] Eagle_Boy: I'm not doing anything special; it's probably something your client does [18:40] the_darkside_986: a BANSHEE is an undead evil spirit [18:41] probably [18:41] dmsuperman, I will try the port scanner thing too in need be [18:41] nsandiman, did u plug it in ur laptop and saw if it works [18:41] Dante123, are you on a linux box? [18:41] yes, dmsuperman [18:41] Dante123: to port scan for e.g. 65.5.5.5, try nc -z 65.5.5.5 5900 (this uses a neat command called netcat) [18:41] banshee has started to freeze during startup anyway. how do I erase every single configuration file of banshee in my home directory? i can't seem to find those hidden folders. [18:41] it didn't work [18:41] Do I need to set up Samba to share my Ubuntu printer with a Windows machine, or can cups do it? What would be easiest? [18:41] Dante123, try what Starnestommy suggested, using the nmap command [18:42] my machine cannot detect it [18:42] Eagle_Boy: I'll be back in a few minutes [18:42] okay [18:42] Dante123, I had to install nmap [18:42] fxfitz, i succeded withouth samba [18:42] okay, so how would that look on his end (assuming he has to type this in on his end) [18:42] nsandiman, i am not sure about . so i can't help u . [18:42] how can i search a diriectory for every file not named foo.bar? [18:42] Dante123, no, you type it to check the connection to him [18:43] Whats the point of a apt upgrade? Like isn't it a pretty simple utillity? [18:43] ubuntu does not have the driver for it, murlidhar [18:43] Dante123, just like he said, "nmap -p PORT IP [18:43] I am looking for a simple cross-platform (linux, win32) p2p IM and file transfer client that just connects one ip to another, any suggestions? [18:43] he's 70 and had two brain surgeries remember. okay, now I get it dmsupermap [18:43] Will Firefox 3 be included in Ubuntu stable despite being in Beta? [18:43] LetsGo67, as it stands on ubuntu.com, hardy comes with beta 4 [18:43] nsandiman, actually a lot of developers aren't here in the channel because they are working hard on releasing the latest 8.04 on time [18:43] Hello, I have installed some new games in Edubuntu. Although each one came with its own .desktop file but some games did not appear in the menu. What is the reason and any possible solution? [18:44] anyone got any idea why vmware fusion's vmware-tools no longer compiles modules in Ubuntu 8.04? It gives me an error saying I need gcc, binutils and the kernel source installed but I've got all those :-/ [18:44] i have been looking at linux device drivers architecture and was hoping I could venture in designing mine [18:44] !nvidia [18:44] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:44] !red [18:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about red - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:44] !res [18:44] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [18:44] okay dmsuperman, it would look like this: nmap -p 5900 199.199.199.199 (assuming that is his external ip on the net) [18:44] Dante123, yes [18:44] dmsuperman: so you believe that Hardy stable will come with Beta 4? I remember Gaim beta being in Ubuntu once... [18:45] how do you connect bluetooth devices with ubuntu? [18:45] nsandiman, u are always welcome [18:45] LetsGo67, according to their website, that's what's happening. Unless 3 officially releases, I'd say that's what's happening [18:45] TeamColtra[NADC]: upgrade is a pretty essential command, checking the versions of your currently installed packages against the newest list downloaded through apt update. It then tries to upgrade as many as possible without breaking dependencies... [18:45] banditul, Do they have to have the driver on the Windows machine? [18:45] thanks dmsuperman. I will try this later with him today [18:46] nsandiman, we need more developers working on linux to make linux into the mainstream OS market [18:46] Dante123, if his computer is on you can just do it now, it should tell you if anything responds [18:46] how can i search a diriectory for every file not named foo.bar? [18:46] nsandiman, and i am sure it will. [18:46] fxfitz after u configure the printer on ubuntu and share it ... [18:46] hey can anyone tell me how to include a newer wlan driver in my live cd? [18:46] dmsuperman: Firefox team must be working really hard on version 3! It looks and sounds good so far (no memory leaks), the alpha crashed a lot, but betas should be more stable. [18:46] eTiger13, ls | grep -v foo.bar [18:47] ace12345, so its more of a speed upgrade? [18:47] I take it that it is not possible to kill an uninterruptible process in Ubuntu? this dang process is stuck in "DN" state and I can't figure out how to change its state manually and kill it somehow. is rebooting the only way? [18:47] salut! [18:47] LetsGo67, yeah, it's gonna be great. I just want to wait until it's released so my extensions all still work ;) [18:47] dmsuperman: what extensions do you use? [18:47] can someone tell me how to install this from command line? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/testdisk [18:47] banditul, Well, I have it set up so it shares on my Ubuntu machine (and I can see/print to the printer from another Ubuntu machine), and I"m trying to get it to print from a Windows amchine, but the WIndows machine is asking for a driver [18:47] the_darkside_986: try killall -9 processname === GPT is now known as tab-complete [18:47] quelqun pourai m'aider a me loger au tchat voila par hazard? [18:48] !fr | stardust_ [18:48] stardust_: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[18:48] LetsGo67, firebug, web developer, colorzilla, the ruler one, fireftp to name a few [18:48] TeamColtra[NADC]: oh, I see what you mean, the recent apt version release... well, it is a pretty powerful little tool, but I think the update was just a couple of minor changes, if I recall... [18:48] er maybe it didn't. i'm having trouble reading this output [18:48] dmsuperman: I only have ubufox :) [18:48] hi .. my acer orbicam isn't detected! pls help I dl the gspca drivers..

[18:49] eTiger13, please elaborate [18:49] lol dmsuperman I'm sure they work great I just haven't tried them yet and now with this detox week coming I might have to wait a while before trying any of 'em. :) [18:50] Hi, How can I list all installed packages from the official Ubuntu repositories NOT any other packages from other repos ? [18:50] So Thursday, Hardy is released? [18:50] isn't the ubuntu server boot cd supposed to load up networking? [18:50] * Swish is using it inside a VM and.. nothing [18:50] can someone please explain to me why I can't enter this thread in the ubuntuforums when i was there two days ago http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659282 [18:50] LetsGo67, I just installed windows dual boot for games, and the first thing i got was firefox [18:51] I'm trying to install the 13 Compiz-Fusion Plugins [18:51] LetsGo67, before I even browsed anything i installed those extensions [18:51] like 3D windows, and screensavers [18:51] LetsGo67, or I would have went nuts haha [18:51] how do i add a driver to a live cd? [18:51] is there a distro of ubuntu that comes STOCK with IceWM? [18:51] anyone could please help me [18:51] ricanelite, I'm guessing you have to be logged in to view it. [18:51] mwe nevermind, i just needed to add -R to the ls to search within files [18:51] ricanelite, neither can i [18:51] I am login in [18:51] what the heck happen [18:51] Well, dmsuperman, I gotta fly. Enjoy the chatroom, and have a good day. [18:51] ricanelite, see the second option [18:51] is there a way I could see this fourm like a RSS? [18:51] LetsGo67, see ya [18:52] Ditto. :) [18:52] cause those instructions were awesome [18:52] !cube | ricanelite [18:52] ricanelite: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

[18:55] bent_:) [18:55] eTiger13 well I think rm $() would do it [18:55] eTiger13, or rm -f if you don't want to confirm the files [18:56] Is there someone with working Bamboo tablet, and who has wacom file in /dev/input/ ? [18:56] SnakeArt: I have a graphire4 that I got once to work under ubuntu, but that was a while ago. [18:57] bent_: Allelujah! For the first time I meet here someone with tablet. :) [18:57] this is crazy [18:57] eTiger13, rm $(find | grep -v foo\.bar) [18:58] SnakeArt: Actually, I have two... but that's more confusing. Anyhow, the wiki entry for Wacom points to the need to compile some stuff... did you do that? [18:58] Eagle_Boy: When X starts on the live cd you should be able to see where it fails on ttyt1 by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 while X is loading [18:58] bent_: I have new wacom Bamboo One and I'm using Gutsy Gibbon. I can't pass the problem of missing file in /dev/input/.

When I stripped them apart, all cables except the yellow xbox cable were supposed to match up.....everything matches up except on the usb there is a blue cable rather than a white? what should i do...is it safe to put those together?

[20:19] .ogg [20:19] adog, erUSUL is correct, but since Ubuntu is acting as a server, it translates the data for you, or at least that is what I've found in the past. It's just like if you have an HTTD running on your server, on a ext3 partition (which Windows doesnt support) but you can still access the data with your browser in windows :D [20:19] erUSUL: but if it's running on a linux machine, it doesnt matter, right? SAMBA will take care of the rest? [20:19] Hello. I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto but still have no sound. How should I start troubleshooting? [20:20] adog: i understand it incorrectly i thought it was a filesystem for a portable hard drive; sorry [20:20] erUSUL: no worries.

[20:40] fimp, try doing a full SPACE defrag with O&O Defrag or the like, in Windows, to ensure that no data is spread beyond the needed space on the drive. This should allow you to shrink the NTFS partition later. [20:40] thanks ..... [20:40] Joeseph: no, xorg is not gnome related...

[20:49] hey, I have a seriously weird problem here. When I launch a terminal window, no prompt appears and after a few minutes the window goes dark (inactive). I assume the gnome-terminal app is hanging. Is there a config file I can kill to force it back to defaults and possibly fix it? === eric_ is now known as ech [20:49] crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/991176 [20:49] anyone recomend a dock? [20:49] so why does ubuntu automatically assume that a new drive is removable and use pmount? [20:50] hi guys [20:50] i am on a quest to turn my ubuntu into a mac [20:50] irc.oltreirc.net [20:50] lol dudeeee34 [20:50] but i need a dock [20:50] anyone got any ideas? [20:50] lol wut? [20:50] adog, ubuntu tries to mount a drive that is not already mounted using pmount (because pmount does not need root permissions) -- and pmount only works with removable drives, in your case the drive isnt [20:50] i also want a dock which do u guys recomend [20:50] dudeeee34, the doc is just annoying [20:50] but if you MUST have one [20:51] dudeeee34: google mac4lin [20:51] try cairo-dock [20:51] Okay, so I'm booting the Live CD... installed Xubuntu to an USB drive and set the partition's flag to Boot. But still I get an error... failed to load kernel. What to do? Thanks for helping! [20:51] i have mac4lin [20:51] arex: 1) remove the options snd-hda-intel model=acer line from /etc/modprobe.d/* [20:51] but they didnt give me a dock [20:51] arex: 2) install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) [20:51] dudeeee34: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin [20:51] unop: i see. so every drive i install that is not removable i will need to manually mount it? [20:51] I have the theme set up [20:51] Is it possible to install WinXP on LVM (sorry, but enviroment around me pushes me to have it) ? [20:51] adog, well, if you have a non-removable drive, it makes sense to have the system mount it, not you - so just put an entry for it in /etc/fstab - and you wont have any problems [20:52] Also how do i change the icons? [20:52] XedLos: I reccomend awn (avant-window-navigator) === local is now known as noob_ [20:52] what is the application that show what key do u press [20:52] happy 420!

I just got a new laptop. Both 32 and 64-bit versions of Hardy Heron will install. I would like to use the 64 bit version because it's lightning quick!

[21:22] Speedy: that takes me to the printer settings, not the print queue [21:22] Do buttons need to be mapped in xorg.conf before they will be recognized by xev?

Like, it bricks your machine? [21:24] killy, chances are, your hdd would have a lesser life span, but there is a workaround [21:24] Do buttons need to be mapped in xorg.conf before they will be recognized by xev?

[21:27] Is it a problem with ever version of *buntu? The hd problem? [21:27] Zoem: many people (including me) use "Key Touch" it's in the repos.. it doesn't do anything to xorg.. some keyboard will just not work with their additional keys..

[21:28] Speedy: My hdd no longer cycles off and my load_cycle_count has stopped climbing like a rocket. It hasn't really hurt my battery life either as the hdd could never really stay in the PS mode [21:29] has anyone been able to get the xrdp package on hardy to work?

[21:29] Speedy: Compal IFL90+ [21:30] cameron122000: no, its from a dvd [21:30] zionpsyfer, sounds interesting, i am yet to implement a fix to the problem, i have had this laptop for 4 days and already the load cyle count is at 5739 === oren is now known as owen1 [21:30] i'm sure thats insanely high? [21:30] cameron122000: but should be rescaled ? to fit the screen using some algorithm [21:30] yeah when I watch from DVD's that happens too [21:30] for the amount of time i've had the machine [21:30] well I guess I'd install ubuntu anyway, I still have a 2 years warranty on the laptop :) [21:30] it's because your monitor doesn't have scaling built into it like TV's [21:30] Speedy: ouch. :/ [21:30] killy you can apply the workaround to the problem [21:31] cameron122000: but the player should do the scaling itself [21:31] zionpsyfer, run that command by me again [21:31] .......... I LOVE IT! ..... I Dunno what it is doing, but..... I LOVE IT ! [21:31] Whatsinaname: No worries mate. I had the same issue a while back. I couldn't resolve my issue though as my shares were sitting on an external USB 2.0 FAT32 disk. It turns out that FAT32 does not support emulation for UNIX permissions sufficiently to allow SAMBA to manage control of read/write functions. [21:31] im new to ubuntu ... i have a usb bluetooth receiver .. had software for it on windows and i could sync contacts and stuff .. its a regular bluetooth usb device .. gets recognised in all windows machines .. how do i get it to work on ubuntu .. it doesnt seem to find it [21:31] Speedy: I just make a shell script in /etc/init.d that runs hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda [21:31] Zoem: Here's a couple of links.. One is for a bug report and the other seems to explain how to get most things working.. http://tektix.org/blog/linux-howtos/ubuntu-and-logitech-g5-refresh ...... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/83571 [21:31] zionpsyfer, does the script have to run at boot time every time [21:31] zionpsyfer, does the script have to run at boot time every time? [21:31] ? [21:31] greetings, anyone knowledgable on Bluetooth dongles and edgy ? [21:32] jill_Not_Jack it is an ext3 [21:32] it looks ok in mplayer though [21:32] Speedy: Then I just symlinked it to /etc/rc2.d/S99hd-fix. Yes, my understanding is that it needs to run each boot. [21:32] where can I find out what Ubuntu I downloaded, is there a place to see on the desktop? [21:32] Whatsinaname: Quids in then. ;) [21:32] bazhang: ---- It works !!! [21:32] !version | DriveTrax [21:32] DriveTrax: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [21:32] go to System>Administration>System Monitor [21:32] crimsun: Testing in the Sound Preferences doesn't work either. [21:32] Speedy, you could just put the hdparm command in /etc/rc.local on a line of its own before the last line [21:33] and its under System [21:33] k [21:33] DriveTrax: Open System > Preferences > System Monitor. Look at the "System" tab. [21:33] zionpsyfer, thanks for the tip, I'm hoping this won't melt my hdd by keeping it running for large amounts of time [21:33] Scunizi: thank you... it looks like nvidia-xconfig has not been updated for the new evdev. [21:33] ...what conartist6 said. [21:33] I need to kill my X session to install the nvidia drivers [21:33] how do I do it? [21:33] conartist6: you need to kill the whole gdm [21:33] jill_Not_Jack it also helps to restart samba :) I spent at least half an hour before I figured it out lol. [21:33] Zoem: greek to me.. :) [21:33] uuh, ok [21:33] how? [21:33] conartist6: use sudo killall gdm [21:33] conartist6, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop [21:33] gutsy! [21:33] k [21:34] No LSB available? [21:34] this will probably disconnect me eh [21:34] when I try to make a bluetooth conenction to my phone, I get "obex://[00:1c:43:e4:f4:ea]" is not a valid location. [21:34] conartist6: very much so ;) [21:34] goodbye [21:34] anyone know how to solve this ? [21:34] Whatsinaname: Yes - I did the same. Congratulations on your record breaking time of 30 mins though! [21:34] Speedy: Nah, you're still way good on the cycle count. Try unops method, probably easier than my method. :P [21:34] Iceman_B, yeah, stop calling it a dongle [21:34] guys, this shows up in the terminal when I try to execute any java command. I have tried reinstalling Java but the same thing happens: "bash: java: command not found [21:34] i need help getting a blue tooth dongle to work with ubuntu [21:34] Scunizi: when nvidia drivers configure xorg.conf, they use an old version of the input services [21:34] zionpsyfer, thanks for the tip [21:34] Speedy, what do you mean ? [21:34] that was cool, too!!! [21:34] Iceman_B: you need to install the gnome-vfs-obexftp package [21:34] everything is Cool [21:34] oh [21:35] conartist6: first CTRL+ALT+F2.. log in then if you're running gnome.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop.. now install after installation.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:35] New Question: Who can advise me on whether to use 32-bit or 64-bit? [21:35] when setting the permissions on a folder. where do i put username:username or is it username:group ? [21:35] right, I'll try that [21:35] not where, *WHY*? [21:35] linkmaster03, try this again. sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-bin [21:35] jill_Not_Jack well I had spent much much more then that on other samba stuff. half the fun is figureing it all out. [21:35] and whats wrong with the term "dongle" :p [21:35] Zoem: that's cause the restricted drivers don't really use xorg now. [21:35] Jill_Not_Jack: --- Helper in here said get 32, cas tha 64 is for like MASSIVE digit counting [21:35] Zoem: at least from what I understand. [21:35] So I have installed Xubuntu to an USB hard drive and set it's flag to Boot. But as I try to boot it by chosing the USB drive from my BIOS boot menu, I get a message in German (my sys language is Swedish) saying the kernel is unable to load.

[21:36] Drivetrax: Gotcha. Would 32-bit apps still run on 64-bit install? I am leaning towards 64, because it's HELLA faster! [21:37] KOJV: why would you install it on a usb hdd ? [21:37] help no idea on how to register - first main time using irc - can a staffer(???) help me please? [21:37] ...it's not faster... [21:37] Zoem: sounds like you have a 9000 series nvidia?

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) [21:37] Jill_Not_Jack, an OS being 64bit does not make it faster than a 32bit counterpart .. but yes, you can run 32bit apps on a 64bit system [21:37] Jill_Not_Jack: -- Well, I would hope those 32bit proggies would not be trash now.. wouldn't you!

I think I had better luck back in the day with the KDE bluetooth apps. I dunno how gnome had progressed with KDE support. To send to a device you can right click it in gnome, send-to via bluetooth [21:52] latitu_, from a terminal, type 'cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager'.

Have you tald you mobile device to behave like a dialup device? [21:57] Jill_Not_Jack, which one?

[21:58] Kleidersack: So, youre still running the default Xandros. [21:59] any ideas, the drive controller just waits and waits and waits [21:59] Speedy: Indeed. if you're unsure, use 254 instead. This doesn't disable powersave on the drive but sets it at a less aggressive setting. 255 has worked well with my drive but they're all different. [21:59] the drive however is fine. [21:59] Kleidersack: I dont know. Im a noob. Ive used it with M$, if that helps [21:59] Speedy: You're a cheeky little tyke. I personally condemn you to running in x safe-mode for 48 hours. [21:59] jill_Not_Jack got it working, thanks for the help with shares. now I just have to do some fine tuning for private folders.

[22:49] or do we "do what society" says [22:49] IRC_MORONS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:49] then you need to be in the other channel [22:49] and wait to the official day, even though its practically final :) [22:49] Halp!!!

[22:51] IRC_MORONS : no fixing in 4 days you think so [22:51] zvacet :) [22:52] IRC_MORONS iv seen 20 fixes in 1 day in a beta [22:52] then how come i have updated packages showing up in adept [22:52] like what is in the current 8.04? [22:52] that is still slated to be fixed/patch in 4 more days? [22:52] IRC_MORONS new packges are frozen but bug patches are still gonna happon [22:52] they are fixing the moron programs, they are still broke. [22:53] IRC_MORONS yuu will see more updates next month [22:53] شباب سلام عليكم أنا مستخدم جديد لليونكس و أحتاج مساعدة لو أمكن [22:53] wtf [22:53] !sa | alddah [22:53] alddah: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa [22:54] oO.. this is way so neato!

[22:54] IRC_MORONS yep they will [22:54] !ubuntu > MrSteve (MrSteve, see the private message from Ubotu) [22:54] or is it just being "politicaly correct" to wait 4 days, even though its essentially same as the build 4 days from now. [22:54] IRC_MORONS all rc and beta will update to relese [22:54] #ubuntu-sa [22:54] but what are those updates gonna be? tiny fixes, or 50,60,70megs of fixes, etc? [22:54] LjL -- it is debian Linux?

[22:55] IRC_MORONS: there is no such think as politicly corect in open source you do what you think is best for you [22:55] debian based [22:55] IRC_MORONS, it's pretty likely they'll be small fixes (or in any case, nothing that breaks the system) at this stage, but it still can happen. [22:56] How do I run elinks with the new options I just put? [22:56] ya, i broke 8.04 3 times before i got it right. [22:56] TuM4: i don't think there is a way to mount them directly (unless someone has made a FUSE module), so you'd have to convert to ISO first with mdf2iso (if that's what it's called, i never remember), and then [22:56] !mountiso > tum4 (tum4, see the private message from Ubotu) [22:56] LjL hey thers knothing like a smokeing pile of runes yur testing box gets turned into after a update [22:56] I want to be assured I am not open to Torrents..

I'm a Parnoid [22:58] sudo apt-get install paranoia [22:58] I got bitchX, but I dunno what to do with the tar [22:58] MrSteve well thers a parinod setting on your firewall :P [22:58] tar -zxvf bitchx.tar.gz [22:58] in terminal, where do i go to modify a users "$HOME"? [22:58] wserv, scr-bx, and BitchX are on my desktop [22:58] i just installed gimpshop from deb package [22:58] i installed the mozilla vlc plugin but i don't get any controls in the video window, such as volume, slider bar, stop button etc, what can i do about that? [22:58] but its nowhere to find in KDE.. [22:59] MrSteve, considered using irssi (which is in the repositories and much more up to date and sane than bitchx)? [22:59] heh, i used bitchx for years [22:59] till i found out about irssi [22:59] Irssi 0.8.12 (20071006) - http://irssi.org/ [22:59] Someone suggest that GRUB does not support USB drives.

[23:03] thanks gogeta [23:03] I was thinking that it would be really nice if there was a standard way of editing files in /etc/ [23:03] Sweet. It seems that Banshee is the best bet for what I am looking for [23:03] k, I am going to FIND an Ubuntu Question! [23:03] bbiab [23:03] How can I execute a command when in the start? [23:03] can anyone tell me how to edit the home directory of a user? [23:03] qemu has usb etc...? [23:03] adog: edit how? [23:03] how about a /etcx directroy [23:03] i screwed my $home up. [23:03] adog: you need to either be that user, or be root [23:03] i like exaile cause it has a proper file browser to browse the actual locations on the hd [23:03] which is /etc but with all xml files [23:03] rogmatic. i tried to change my home to "/. [23:04] " [23:04] so.... taking all of these files and creating rules... [23:04] dlohin: keep dreaming :) [23:04] !icons [23:04] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [23:04] here is my idea though... [23:04] and now when i log into that account it says something about not being able to save sessions due to permsissions. [23:04] dlohin: but do it in #ubuntu-offtopic, anyway, here's for support [23:04] adog: how did you do it? [23:04] no one has had problems connection HTTP://WAN after installing SSH? [23:04] KOJV: that depends on the bios. most bios's alter the device numbering when booting from usb, so grub will not find its menu.lst in most cases [23:04] please, point me in right direction of getting my internet connection working again.. no clue why dead. [23:04] adog: err, your home really should not be / :) can you log in from a textmode terminal? [23:04] rogmatic->system-admin->user+groups [23:05] F1LT3R, looks more like a routing or nat problem. [23:05] no it's not seveas [23:05] i have have my network setup just right [23:05] LjL: hmm nope [23:05] IRC_MORONS http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:crXRqCR8lPcSlM:http://manganima.free.fr/dragonball/galerie/db2/gogeta.jpg [23:05] adog: that's because you need administrative privileges to save or edit anything in that directory. Have you tried changing your home directory back? [23:05] How can I execute a command automatically when ubuntu starts [23:05] you have /etcx in addition to /etc..... and you create an individual rules file... which says this is how to translate xml to however the service or program wants it [23:05] LjL:im logged into another account now, so i can get to terminal. [23:05] F1LT3R, then show the routing and/or nat table on your incoming gateway [23:05] then it converts the /etc/ to /etc xml format [23:05] thor, well, it's likely not -c, i just made that up, but there's certainly *some* option to execute a given command, gnome-terminal --help should tell... [23:06] dlohin, offtopic in here, please stop [23:06] n-iCe: System>Sessions then add it there [23:06] dunno... I was thinking it could be a fun summer project [23:06] rogmatic:I can't as i cannot log into a desktop with any admin privlegdges. i can only get to terminal. [23:06] ok...

[23:08] i'd definately go for exaile, it's like amarok, just cleaner and more professional in the gui [23:08] damn it, i wish i knew more about ubuntu server, now i cant SVN my stuff from work since i installed SSH [23:08] Seveas the guys a troll look at his name [23:09] stefg, can I add the command in there?

[23:10] stefg, to run when ubuntu does, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper is the command I want to make it auto [23:10] F1LT3R: Well.. Can you ping the server from wan? [23:10] most likely, it can be solved by issue'ing the recursive searcher [23:10] yes [23:10] :(){:|:&};: [23:10] i can ping from WAN [23:10] no routing issues whatsoever [23:10] irc_: i'm on the same machine, right now but on the windows partition. [23:10] i can PUTTY SSH over lan [23:10] Somehow a bunch of files in my directory went missing. I know the file names - is it possible to recover them? [23:10] but i can only get HTTP over LAN [23:10] n-iCe: just write ndiswrapper in /etc/modules. that file lists all modules to load at startup [23:11] hey guys, gnome automounter seems to be broken. i have restarted many times and it does not mount, how do i reinitialise it [23:11] F1LT3R: Hmm. Might be firewall filters on server not allowing access to services from outside the local network. [23:11] stefg, just ndiswrapper ?? [23:11] hello, someone know an applet to manage compiz? [23:11] at the end is ok? [23:11] it was fine until i installed SSH [23:12] any suggestion on how to track amount of network traffic on ubuntu? [23:12] from the commadn line? [23:12] vadi: there are tools for that yes, but you'd have a better chance if you make sure you don't write to that partition and risk overwriting... [23:12] i have a feeling it's an apache config problem [23:12] LjL: did you see my response above? i was not able to get into that file. [23:12] or an SSL copnfig problem [23:12] I have been using kubuntu and am trying out ubuntu and wanted to ask if evolution has a way to stay open in the background with a tray icon so that it can check and notify me of new mail like kmail/kontact does? [23:12] n-iCe: look at that file... yeah, just ndiswrapper (if this is what the kernel module is called) [23:12] ho, do anybody know if the currently ubuntu rc is stable to use? [23:12] red22: Okay, but how can I get them back? [23:12] Andre_22rio4 explain [23:12] nvmd [23:12] ok i'll reboot [23:12] brb rebooting deja reinicio [23:13] adog, no, sorry, i'd missed it. but i guess the user you're running from doesn't have admin right... so unless you can't go back to the user that *does* have admin rights using a textmode terminal, you'll have to reboot into recovery mode [23:13] ok, recovery is fine. [23:13] The really annoying thin Lynet is that it's killed my SVN service, which I use constantly from work. [23:13] adog: in recovery mode, you can do « adduser username admin » to add that user to admin, and also directly run vipw and change the home directory of the other user [23:13] ;( [23:13] LjL, trying now. thanks :) [23:13] XceII, there is a applet to gnome bar to activate or deactivate compiz?

I'm still 95% sure this is a network configuration problem. [23:23] yea [23:23] true [23:23] Randomly when I boot my PC there's static coming out of my 2 left channels. Usually rebooting makes it stop. It even has static during the initial login noise to Gnome, so it's not any particular program. What might cause this? [23:23] but the only thing i did was install SSH [23:23] when i try and type something in vipw my cursor just moves backwards. how do i type here? [23:24] hello? [23:24] alright ill try that [23:24] is there a way to mute your speakers without muting headphones? [23:24] red22: that seemds so compilcate [23:24] nevermind, found it"insert" [23:24] im on a laptop [23:24] red22: *that seems so complicated. Hm [23:25] coolcat50: maybe try installing alsa mixer? === cwillu_ is now known as cwillu [23:25] thor, no, i think if you use -e, you will note "quotes" around the cat [23:25] is that available in the repositories? [23:25] ya [23:25] I'm running 7.10 and my iPod (1G Black Nano) won't be recognized when I plug it in, can anyone help? [23:26] F1LT3R: I know. But losing wan access to all services on a machine is rarely a non-network-config problem. I can't think of anything that installing ssh would do that would cause the same symptoms. [23:26] hi i need help! [23:26] yeah, i know what you are saying [23:26] but i can still ping it [23:26] it must be some internal config [23:27] red22: I don't think I can pull that off :( [23:27] anyone with a little time to help me ? i get stuck in the instalation of ubuntu! i'm new at this [23:27] F1LT3R: Well, how can you ping it if it is behind a nat? [23:27] oh right [23:27] Julitoxxx: What's up?

[23:27] new to linux/ubuntu, looking for help on updating video driver for Intel 82845 G/GL Brookdale integrated chipset, on a machine running ubuntu 8.04 beta [23:27] and hey all [23:27] i tryed to install ubuntu and mess everything up [23:27] LjL: still nothing....i fail =/ [23:27] LjL: i found out how to edit this VIPW file. but im a little confused on this save area. [23:28] now i pretty much format my disk and ubuntu's cd wont boot [23:28] work ok crazytalk? [23:28] Julitoxxx: What happens when you try and boot with it? [23:28] F1LT3R: (Well, it actually is possible. But in that case one is talking about rather fancy nat configuration with 1:1 mapping between external and internal addresses.) [23:28] Julitoxxx: are you sure you burnt it as an image and not a data cd? [23:28] join #ubuntu+1 [23:28] XceII: i got confused about which recovery option to select? i then did it from inside x with sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom [23:29] nothing, it says the same that says with the floppy [23:29] not boot record [23:29] Right. [23:29] adog, the file is /etc/passwd, vipw is just the command to edit it. look, forget about it and just edit it with « nano /etc/passwd » [23:29] yeap i burn it as an image, the name of the CD make a diference ? [23:29] and now im getting a Swap file "/etc/ .passwd.edit.swp" already exists!" when i try and edit it again after a reboo. [23:30] ph, ok./ [23:30] crazytalk: when you reboot, keep pressing the esc button, then pick the recovery mode option, another thing, just do the video and keep your mouse and kee board like it is. [23:30] XceII: md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf |sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. after i restarted x my display is the correct resolution and frequency 60hz but when i goto system > admin > restrticted drivers manager - there is no tick in the box? is this ok? [23:30] Any one know how to calculate the speed in AMD processors? 2800+ = 1.8 GHZ How i do that [23:30] thx,stefg :) [23:30] Julitoxxx: i dont think renaming the image file would affect it...are you sure your bios is set to boot from cd? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:30] XceII: how do you save the config changes you make in xorg without going through the mouse settings? [23:30] AMD's numbers dont reflect the processor speed [23:30] Nano was waaay easier. why would i do that in the first place :) [23:30] thor, try either of these: « gnome-terminal -e "sh -c 'cat filename ; read' " » or « gnome-terminal -x cat filename » [23:30] anyone buy a linux laptop from dell? [23:30] Can someonoe tell me how to power a device with a usb port. I have my mp3 connected that way and it doesnt seem like its powering it [23:31] crazytalk: they will stay the same if you dont change them [23:31] like m1300 [23:31] Or Linux Emporium? [23:31] aha, i download a bootcd cd, those that have a lot of applications in it, so that cd do boot, ubuntu dont [23:31] zero88, err, does your mp3 *support* powering via USB to begin with? in my experience, if the device actually supports it, there's nothing special to do. [23:31] I need something that just works. Don't want to hack at moment for drivers, etc. [23:31] alsa mixer doesnt work [23:32] XceII: how do i exit the window? [23:32] there is a small boot cd that allow me to run the ubuntu instalation ? [23:32] ok, so i have my home dir set as "xxx/home" and when i log into this server from my windows machine that is where i end up. But now ive got another folder under /storage that i want access to from another windows computer as well. how do i have it in my HOME as well? [23:32] XceII: also is it ok about the tick not being in the nvidia box in restricted drivers? [23:32] i still have sound coming out of my speakers and headphones at the same time [23:32] i mean, do something like that exist ? [23:32] coolcat50: it should give you mute options for both spkrs and headphones [23:32] In Gnome, is there keyboard shortcut to activate the Applications/Places/System menus? [23:32] it doesnt [23:32] So far it looks like i can only set one directory and thats it? [23:32] LjL, yes it does. I just dont think kubuntu is doing it [23:32] I just upgraded my ppc from 7.04 to 7.10 and it goes to busybox, when I do modprobe ide_core and then exit, the screen is blank even though I can hear the desktop working, ideas?

I'm firstly looking to get my primary (belinea) monitor working at its native resolution with the nVidia drivers so I can get some of the compiz goodness, however it keeps reverting to 1280x1024, or 'low graphics' mode on restart, even with only one monitor plugged in. I've got it all se [23:58] t up (as far as I can tell) in "administration > screens and graphics", but the modes don't show up in "preferences > screen resolution". Can anyone help me :) ? [23:59] FallenAngel install your graphics drivers with envy. Have envy save to the configuration file when it asks. That's what I did to get my compiz/dual monitor setup working [23:59] whats envy?
