[00:38] wish me luck, here i go [00:38] np [00:38] gl :D [00:38] bluefoxx: man mount, cat /etc/fstab [00:38] ringer np [00:38] lol fstab [00:38] wirechief_: ok, thats easy enough[i tried backing up my core system to old TR-1 tapes with no luck] [00:39] caram? [00:39] hmm? [00:39] I read as facestab [00:39] ugh, ringer uses Bell. reformatting his partitions is the least of his problems [00:39] beli: i have no trouble mounting drives XP i run three extra hards plus a raid5 array for music files ^^ [00:39] bluefoxx: yeah, but you should read about sync/async mounts [00:40] mneptok, is there something wrong with Bell? [00:40] beli: ok, i will learn the difference : \ [00:40] beli: thanks [00:40] caram: more than what's right with them. [00:40] np [00:40] oh [00:40] I have a pretty obscure question to ask ... so I'm not sure if someone would prefer to take it into PM with me. I'm trying to create a customized initrd for Hardy (netbooting it) such that I can tickle an internal web server with the busybox wget script (with a ReSTful query like: ?req=register&mac=00-AA-11-BB-22-CC-33&ip=123.45.67.89 [00:41] AnswerGuy: this is *so* the wrong channel for you :) [00:41] AnswerGuy: try a dev ML [00:41] * spass is away: ( while [ $away -eq true ]; do sleep 1s; done ) [00:41] beli: going by name, im deducing so far though, that a sync mount writes the data ASAP while a asinc waits to be unmounted, for the buffer to fill or some other event to happen right/ [00:41] I boot with break=mount and this drops me into the initrd/Busybox shell --- and I can configure the net address, and find the mac and IP addresses (munging them into the right form) [00:41] The only problem I'm having is getting any sort of name resolution to work! :( [00:42] !away > spass (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [00:42] I can't get my linux to recognise my sound card's existance, even though it worked under Windows and is a fairly standard card, circa 1999. [00:42] Catkingdom: ISA? [00:42] Would #ubuntu+1 have any developers in it? [00:42] Catkingdom: is it an ISA card? [00:42] mneptok: No, Sound Blaster [00:42] AnswerGuy there is a bug with booting into a busybox with Gutsy is that your problem ? [00:42] Catkingdom: SB can be ISA, AFAIK [00:43] has anyone here done the ubuntu install within windows? If so, is the performance reduction worth it? [00:43] bluefoxx: thats it...and thats why there is the sync command. and guess what happens if your box crashes? it does not write tha buffered data to log files ;) [00:43] Catkingdom: sudo modprobe snd-sb[hit tab, tab to list more] [00:43] No, wirechief_intel, this is Hardy and I'm able to get to the BB shell with break=mount without any problem. [00:43] beli: ahh...i see. so how do i find out which my drives are using? [00:43] bluefoxx: in common async mode is better, because of the i/o load...but in debug case... [00:43] the only problem I'm having is getting DNS resolution. [00:43] Answer ok [00:44] bluefoxx: it has nothing todo with your drives, but with how you mount them... --> fstab [00:44] bluefoxx: "FATAL: Module snd_sb not found." [00:44] AnswerGuy: well that takes place with the /etc/resolv.conf file [00:44] Tried creating that. [00:44] No go [00:44] I have a full tarred, gzipped Linux filesystem that I want to try and boot in VirtualBox. How can I turn that filesystem into a virtualbox disk? [00:44] Catkingdom: is it an ISA card? [00:44] Catkingdom: get it to list more sound blaster modules by hitting tab key twice [00:45] I suspect that I don't have libnss_dns.so files [00:45] Catkingdom: no one cares about the model name. we want the interface type. :) [00:45] Catkingdom: then choose the one from there and type in the rest [00:45] but something on the system must be able to do it because my nfsroot mount options are by hostname, not by IP addr (I think ... let me check) [00:45] mneptok & bluefoxx: The command returns "FATAL: Module snd_sb not found." [00:46] .back [00:46] need help with getting an external monitor working on laptop. Display wonturks during post, but not in Ubu [00:46] AnswerGuy: nameserver 4.2.2.1 or something like that in the file [00:46] whoops [00:46] Ooops --- that bites! I did have to use IP addr for the nfsroot= argurment! [00:46] how can I see the wireless settings being used through terminal? [00:46] Catkingdom: thats cause thats just the family of coundblaster cards, not a specific module for them [00:46] linkmaster03: iwconfig [00:47] <[GSF]Martin> ifconfig can set the settings [00:47] linkmaster03: iwconfig [00:47] <[GSF]Martin> *w [00:47] hello [00:47] linkmaster03: maybe sudo ifconfig === c is now known as Charitwo [00:47] wirechief_intell: no offense but I can create valid resolv.conf files in my sleep. I've been doing Linux systems administration for 16 years and occasionally teaching it for about 10. [00:47] Catkingdom: you need to find the model of your card. EG a soundblaster AWE series is snd-sbawe [00:47] Thank you guys [00:47] mneptok & bluefoxx: what does "ISA" mean anyway, the type of physical connection that it goes into? (the type of BUS socket)? [00:47] Is there an app that lets me use and login to windows external desktops? [00:47] Catkingdom: yes [00:47] <_Net> Hi I got a problem. No one is able to connect to my computer. I mean I can't remote desktop, I can use lampp only in localhost, no one use gobby (multiplayer text editor), basically anything that involves me running from my computer doesn't work. [00:47] AnswerGuy: sounds like you have all the self-help you need then ;) [00:48] Catkingdom: correct, ISA pre-dates PCI [00:48] Catkingdom: ISA is older, common in pre-/00 machines [00:48] mneptok & bluefoxx: K, its the really old black-kind of socket, not the white one or the brown one. [00:48] It's not a resolv.conf problem; it's more of a library issue (like not having any libnss_dns --- and not having the code linked statically into anything in the initrd image. [00:48] <_Net> I dont know why, before I can go to http:// and it would show me lampp now i can only do it via http://localhost [00:48] Catkingdom: that's ISA, and it will not work. [00:48] <[GSF]Martin> _Net: firewall? [00:48] mneptok & bluefoxx: why not? [00:48] AnswerGuy: its more a design problem.... [00:48] Catkingdom: yes. the white is PCI[current] and brown is AGP[replaced by PCI-E] [00:48] In the shell, how to you cd to a directory with a space in the name? [00:48] <_Net> I doubt it. Ubuntu even has a firewall? [00:48] need help with getting an external monitor working on laptop. Display works during post, but not in Ubuntu [00:48] <_Net> It was working Wonderful 2 days ago [00:48] <_Net> And I didnt change anything [00:49] mneptok: i got a ISA card working in my other machine [00:49] Catkingdom: for the same reason your new Toyota won't react well to shoving coal in the gas tank. times change. :) [00:49] <[GSF]Martin> _Net: router? [00:49] beli: what design problem? [00:49] Imaginal: you need to escape special chars [00:49] Catkingdom: you in the US? [00:49] mneptok: no reason he cant, provided he can find the correct module [00:49] <_Net> I have the ports forwarded too. [00:49] Imaginal: use cd foo\ bar [00:49] mneptok & bluefoxx: no, UK. [00:49] can anyone help with reading dvds in ubuntu 8? [00:49] lol [00:49] Imaginal: or try cd "foo bar" ...it has to do with your shell expansion [00:49] <[GSF]Martin> btfielder: you'll need the restricted drivers [00:49] bluefoxx: feel free to help do that. i'll cut my losses and recommend a 2 quid PCI sound card ;) [00:49] has anyone got the boot freespace error when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04? I'm not sure if i have to resize it or if i can delete files [00:49] ive got them [00:49] beli: Thank you much *_* [00:49] Catkingdom: which model of soundblaster is it? [00:49] * AnswerGuy thinks I'll have to add yet another cmd argument passed by the pxelinux.cfg/* file to give me the registration server address. [00:49] AnswerGuy: that you need to use ip [00:49] trying to read data dvds [00:50] cant mount them [00:50] mneptok & bluefoxx: I'll have to pull it out to find out: I'll go find a screwdriver. [00:50] <[GSF]Martin> oh [00:50] mneptok: i find that the awe64pro i had from my first computer runs very nicely so far :) [00:50] beli: well it is an nfsboot configuration after all. And NFS is generally done over IP [00:50] bluefoxx: cool, my AWE64 refused due to BIOS oddness. [00:50] Catkingdom: you can allways boot he windows and look in the device manager [00:50] bluefoxx: but hey, maybe this guy has your BIOS. ;) [00:51] I can't get wireless to work on my HP dv9235nr. [00:51] bluefoxx: 2 quid soundcard = waaaaaaaay easier [00:51] mneptok: ouch:( you tried PnP? [00:51] with hardy heron. [00:51] bluefoxx: oh yes. [00:51] Do i need to resize my boot to upgrade to hardy or can i delete files? [00:51] (I guess there's some new experimental NFS over RDMA that's being toyed with recently --- but that's not relevant to this) [00:51] mneptok: cheap PCI== fired my mobo T_T [00:51] I have an Intel 3945ABG === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:52] AnswerGuy: right, thats what i guessed.....design problem of nfs [00:52] mneptok & bluefoxx: I've probably got a PCI sound card in the attic, Its just I don't really want to go into thr attic :P. The linux doesn't have windows on it. [00:52] nfs is really old...like ftp *shrug* but both still used widely [00:53] grrr!! ubuntu puts 127.0.1.1 into /etc/hosts and it breaks java's RMI registry! [00:53] how can I get my laptop to see my external monitor? [00:53] Catkingdom: ah. i though i saw you say you had it booting windows and linux, my bad :\ [00:53] kanuha, it should work straight away [00:53] iclebyte: it did during post, but not once Ubuntu starting booting [00:54] are there any files I can delete from my boot in order to upgrade to 8.04? or do i have to resize? [00:54] Catkingdom: so you figure out what kind it is? the creative card usually boast they're model name on them somewear [00:54] kanuha, if it doesnt then make sure you have the right driver for your laptops video card and look in System -> administration -> screens and graphics [00:54] kanuha, I know that some laptops, such as a thinkpad require you to press the fn key + then the f7 key [00:54] Well, my plan is to add dropbear (SSH) support into the initrd --- and make it so I can have machines boot into the initrd and dynamically select their NFS server, register their MAC/IP address, have a server generate a pxelinux.cfg/xx-yy-zz-aa-bb-cc configuration file, and wait for a callback to reboot into that new configuration [00:54] kanuha: try hitting fn + f4 [00:54] kanuha, unless you have an nvidia card in which case use the nvidia control panel [00:54] or that [00:54] mneptok & bluefoxx: Sound Blaster Model CT4180, Circa 1997, Chipset ViBRA 16C. [00:54] what kind of laptop are you using, kanuha? [00:54] * iclebyte just wasted 3 hours because of this host entry [00:55] iclebyte: I feel your pain : / [00:55] thanks [00:55] fn f4 worked [00:55] Does anybody has a clue why with KDE4 Remix on Hardy 8.04 changing screen resolution is not possible. I have a notebook with a intel 915 and an extrenal TFT. Resolution is always identical to the notebooks internal 1024x768. [00:55] Catkingdom: one sec there [00:55] thx all [00:55] yw kahuna [00:55] the display lookes wierd on the external though [00:56] mneptok & bluefoxx: Fairly dusty too, though that shouldn't stop it working :P [00:56] Catkingdom: so long as its not choked by dust, it works [00:56] its funny how many problems are caused either by a) bad default settings or b) people overlook something simple (i.e. volume is all the way down) [00:56] AnswerGuy: evil stuff :) how many boxes do you need this for? [00:56] try going to system, screen resolution kanuha [00:56] and see if that helps [00:56] I have a nvidia video card, should I install the nvidia settings [00:58] brent113: is your birthday january 13th? [00:58] huh [00:58] Catkingdom: try "sudo modprobe snd-sb-common" , then in alsamixer[from command line] check if it sees a sound card [00:59] i wasn't expecting to be auto-connected here [00:59] AnswerGuy: wow dropbear is really small.... [00:59] Is anyone here familiar with Second Life? [00:59] Catkingdom: any luck [01:00] bluefoxx: sudo modprobe snd-sb-common returned nothing, so presumably it worked. Whats an alsamixer? [01:01] hello [01:01] Catkingdom, alsamixer is a commandline program for setting your volume levels [01:01] I can't get wireless to work on Hardy with my Intel PRO 3945ABG, any advice? [01:01] Catkingdom: alsamixer is a program for adjusting sound levels from a terminal [01:01] Veinor|away, which version? === rcsheets is now known as rcsheets` [01:01] Veinor|away: is that a laptop card? [01:01] Which version of what? [01:01] ubuntu [01:01] Hardy. [01:01] Yes it is. [01:02] my card worked out the box no problems [01:02] i have the same chip in my viao [01:02] No driver's showing up in the driver manager, despite the fact that one did in Gutsy [01:02] bluefoxx: Great. How do I use it? [01:02] check out the 'restricted drivers' [01:02] Veinor|away: my card worked out of the box as well [01:02] oh, haha. i didn't know what network i was on. [01:02] that was funny [01:02] I did. Nothing at all is snowhing up there iclebyte. I mean the video card is, but no wireless. [01:02] Veinor|away: I had to restart Ubuntu twice before my laptops card showed up [01:02] Catkingdom: run it from the terminal and if it correctly sees the sound card, then hit escape and type in "sudo gedit /etc/modules", and add a new line to the end of that document, then type in the "snd-sb-common" [01:02] do you have the wireless switch turned on on the laptop? [01:02] =) [01:02] Yeah :P [01:02] do 'iwconfig' on the commandline [01:03] I can find networks but I can't connect. [01:03] Hi, has anyone else had problems with Brasero "creating checksum" indefinitely rather than burning stuff? [01:03] Anyone see this? http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS6736055367.html [01:03] iwconfig works fine [01:03] And now on Linux - Adware [01:03] flannel you here? [01:03] is there a "visual C ++" or C++ software that I can run on linux? [01:03] wtf! [01:03] bluefoxx: I really have no idea how to use alsamixer, just give me the exact command. [01:03] does anyone know how to install 8.04 off the command line? [01:05] it says it's using e1000 drivers [01:05] are these the ones it should be using? [01:05] Catkingdom: that is the command. run it, when it opens if it sees the sound card[should say the name of the sound card] then exit it with escape key and then add the "snd-sb-common" to /etc/modules [01:05] good night folks, need some sleep [01:05] any one here handy with samba? [01:06] or should I get new ones? [01:06] Hi Im having trouble with my resolution i have an ati rage m3 card how do I configure it. [01:06] i need to knoe hoe i can start a command line install on 8.04 [01:06] cottontop: its called g++ you compile C++ files via the command line [01:06] Veinor|away, it should be using the ipw3945d [01:06] bluefoxx: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" [01:06] Hi, has anyone else had problems with Brasero "creating checksum" indefinitely rather than burning stuff? [01:06] Chris_Were: alternate cd [01:06] Catkingdom: then the module isnt the right one... [01:06] see if ipw3945d exists in /etc/init.d/ [01:07] thx brent. where do i access g++? I am running 8.04 ubuntu [01:07] set my tool bar on the top of my desktop.can someone tell me the terminal command. [01:07] Chris_Were: select your language and then press F4 [01:07] Anyone running Nexuiz server? [01:07] what exactly is the 'alternate cd' ? whats the difference? [01:07] cottontop: just type g++ in terminal [01:07] iclebyte: nope [01:07] english [01:07] alternate cd is text based [01:07] iclebyte, its light installer [01:07] no GUI [01:07] cottontop: followed by the program file you want compiled [01:07] How do I set up my repos to get the right drivers for my video card from ATI [01:07] how do I get ipw3945d? [01:07] and more install options [01:07] much nicer and faster [01:07] iclebyte: Alternate CD has a simple installer, instead of the live CD, for computers with > 192mb of RAM [01:08] Catkingdom: did the sound card say anything else on it[i probabally have one of it but its burried somewear amongst a pile of parts] [01:08] Can anybody help me figure out why fonts from msttcorefonts are terribly pixelated? I have tried all combinations, with/without full hinting, with/without subpixel smoothing, reinstalling msttcorefonts, etc. Nothing works, all fonts from that package, in any interface, are extremely pixelated, and this started a few days ago [01:08] that's odd. it's under /etc/modprobe.d [01:08] Veinor|away, do 'sudo modprobe ipw3945' [01:08] how do i select my language [01:08] great! Also, is there a wait to set vim as my editor in the terminal? I am not sure where the configuration files like vimrc exrc [01:08] oh right i got it cheers [01:08] right then do an 'lsmod | grep ipw3945' and see if its listed [01:08] i'm using kubuntu and no one seems to be able to answer my question. has anyone been able to setup external bluetooth speakers? i'd be willing to give gnome a shot, but kde is usually easier with stuf flike this. [01:08] FATAL: Module ipw3945 not found [01:08] is that on the alternative or normal cd? [01:08] how do i disable a module (pcspkr) permanently? [01:08] alternate [01:08] kbluetooth connected to the device, but now i don't get what i need to do to get it working... [01:09] thanx alot i owe u one [01:09] so how do I install it? [01:09] select it from the menu and follow the prompts [01:09] Catkingdom: ok, did it say "CT" on it? [01:10] bluefoxx: It says, "Sound Blaster Model CT4280", Circa 1997, Made in singapore, Chipset ViBRA 16C (Circa 1995), and on the back it says its tested to comply with FCC standards, and theres two serial numbers [01:10] anyone using guest access with samba? [01:10] Catkingdom: then it would be a soundblaster ct...one sec [01:10] i heard it's iwlwifi now [01:10] is there a better chat room for me to be in to learn more about developing on the linux OS when I have been programming in Windows environment? [01:11] using C++/g++ [01:11] Veinor|away:it is i think backtrack's wiki has some stuff on the Intel 3945 cards [01:11] ill see if i cant find it again [01:12] I have a printer connected to my ubuntu computer, I want to share this with another ubuntu computer, can I do this via Linux or do I need to use samba ? [01:12] set my tool bar on the top of my desktop.can someone tell me the terminal command. [01:12] how do i make it so i can write to a mounted drive? [01:12] TaRDy: what filesystem? [01:12] jtaylor13: gnome-terminal ? [01:12] jrib, ntfs [01:13] !ntfs > TaRDy (read the private message from ubottu) [01:13] thank you [01:13] jtaylor13: can't you just drag it with your mouse? [01:13] bluefoxx: any luck? [01:14] what cheap laptop should i buy that works well with ubuntu? both wireless and sound should work. also graphics acceleration have to work... [01:14] alexander_: eee pc? [01:14] veinor:sorry i add panel bar on the top of my desktop.I want to reset it to factory.The problem i am having today is everytime i click the red exit button the entire bar disappears and i have to hold down the power button to exit. [01:14] Catkingdom: ok, so these are the sound blaster modules, try the same thing with each of them until alsamixer shows something >snd-sb16 snd-sb16-dsp snd-sb8-dsp snd-sb-common snd-sb16-csp snd-sb8 snd-sbawe [01:14] Catkingdom: one should work... [01:14] jrib: Does it support graphic effects in ubuntu? [01:14] can someone help me with a broadcom? i have tried !broadcom [01:14] I am dual booting ubuntu with windows xp and would like to know how big the swap,boot should be. [01:15] !laptop > alexander_ (read the private message from ubottu) [01:15] alexander_: I believe so. ubottu has sent you a more complete list [01:15] ill see if i cant find it again [01:15] generally a swap twice the size of your RAM works [01:15] Boot should be a minimum of 5gb [01:15] anyone know if the guest samba account works? [01:15] Catkingdom: a useful pair of tricks in the terminal are after typing the first part of a command and to list more commands[or options] [01:15] alexander_: maybe one of these? http://system76.com/index.php?cPath=28 [01:15] okay so since my ram is 2gb should it be set as 512mb [01:16] can someone help me with a broadcom? i have tried !broadcom [01:16] ubernoobie: it is simple - your swap should be something between 0.5 - 10 GB [01:16] group:here is my problem i add panel bar on the top of my desktop.I want to reset it to factory.The problem i am having today is everytime i click the red exit button the entire bar disappears and i have to hold down the power button to exit. [01:17] ubernoobie: laptop or desktop? [01:17] its a desktop [01:17] i have a question? how do i determine a prossess id to kill. from termanal ?? bash: kill: motion: arguments must be process or job IDs [01:17] sorry, the other way around. But since you have 2gb of ram, a 2-3gb swap partition should be fine [01:17] ubernoobie: with 2GB of RAM yuor swap can be quite small. [01:17] probably will be overkill [01:17] hey everyone :D [01:17] ubernoobie, note that when you install Ubuntu, it automatically generates a SWAP partition [01:17] arthur: "ps aux" will tell you the names and PID numbers of all runing programs [01:17] no BT gurus? [01:18] ubernoobie: just set it to 2xRAM [01:18] !tab | Catkingdom [01:18] Catkingdom: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:18] arrrghhh, whats your question? [01:18] hi, can someone help me for configuring sound card on lenovo Y410 on ubuntu 8.02 [01:18] Catkingdom: a better explaination of what i was trying to say >< [01:18] arrrghhh: what's the question? [01:19] ok getting some weird results from my cups print-server: from my laptop, all ports appear to be closed, while from my file-server, all ports that should be open are open. It does not seem to be a hosts.deny problem. Also, there isn't a firewall between the print-server and my laptop. Any ideas? [01:19] ty [01:19] does anyone here know if photoshop cs3 works well with wine? [01:19] ubernoobie: if you want to save disk space it can be smaller... lets say 1xRAM [01:19] okay alright then I will set my swap for 1024 [01:19] bluefoxx: They all didn't work on Alsamixer, 'cept snd-sb8, who's sudo modprobe failed with the error "FATAL: Error inserting snd_sb8 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/isa/sb/snd-sb8.ko): no such device" [01:19] ubernoobie: more than enough. [01:19] too much is overkill [01:20] does anybody know how to reset my wireless settings?

[02:04] fde: negative, at least from the appearance gnome dealy [02:04] since the guest account doesnt work [02:04] evil_tech: no [02:04] tinker: I had the same issue with the base install of vista. I could not burn the .iso without nero. Not to versed with ubu burn software tho sorry [02:04] fde: OK, I found it under "Adjust Date & Time", thanks. But how am I supposed to know that pH is 12 hour and HH is 24 hour? Totally counter-intuitive to me, but I'm not a programmer either. [02:04] bollocks [02:04] coldopm: thanks [02:04] ttmontoya, what do you know about configuring an X server? [02:04] STSX: I forget where I found that out... I think it is defined if you hit "Help" or something. [02:05] Isn't there a way to use the Ubuntu(or maybe another distro) installation CD to recover a damaged windows HDD? If so, does anyone know where I can find the documentation? [02:05] I think it laughable that I can't make an Ubuntu cd for a friend with ubuntu [02:05] I want to Active Root User on Ubuntu 8.04 [02:05] fde: Ill ask my other questions before trying the logout: 1) I have 1.7 ghz machine and it takes ~6 seconds for the gnome file browser to fire up. Is that normal? 2) Is it safe to go to HH from GG yet? [02:05] I've been searching for docs and cant't find a thing [02:05] holas [02:05] axplus: you don't need to [02:05] axplus: just use sudo [02:05] ive never had much luck with k3b in ubuntu [02:05] tinker: lol...nod [02:05] axplus: with sudo su - [02:05] let me try usenet [02:05] i know [02:05] Anyone know how to reset panel defaults?

[02:06] i know [02:06] hvgotcodes: nah... since 8.04 was released... from 7.10 -> 8.04 there will be like 500 [02:06] hi folks [02:07] * ackstorm has been programming too much, and not socializing enough === pipsqeek_ is now known as pipsqeek [02:07] can somebody help me installing compiz? :s [02:07] I'm trying to get SSH working on my box, but im getting connection refused. Im assuming the port is blocked, is there a gui tool to unblock it? [02:07] newbie_: See if there is a channel for Ubuntu Studio, they are the guys that specialize in such things. [02:07] fde: only 500 people have upgrade to hardy? I would have thought 1000x that [02:07] i cant even ssh in from my local network [02:07] newbie_: Probably #ubuntustudio [02:07] I know (sudo or Su = root) but i wont log with root user [02:07] fde, thanks [02:08] !pdf [02:08] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [02:08] su doesn't work for me anymore :s [02:08] hvgotcodes: No... that is # of packages upgraded.... [02:08] can anyone tell me what the best program is in Linux to CREATE PDF docs? [02:08] pacl: I know Nothing, can you help me [02:08] Oy! Why aren't there directions for makingt the Ubuntu ISO into a bootable CD? Maybe on the page to download them? :) [02:08] fde: oooohhhhh [02:08] ok [02:08] is there any other chat programs that are similar to pidgin but better? [02:09] anabolix: what is wrong with pidgin? [02:09] wow.... Linux really does rock. I don't want to try to imagine building partitions on top of RAID in a Windows environment. [02:09] anabolix, what exactly are you looking for? [02:09] pidgin is probably the best you're going to see for everything cept irc, in which I would reccommend xchat [02:09] ;x [02:09] how do i set one of my network cards at 1/2 duplex 10mb? [02:09] anabolix: maybe kopete [02:09] punzada: im in pidgin for irc now, works fine [02:09] punzada, unless you want video/audio chat, but most of us don't need that [02:09] sCOTTo: Applications > Office > OpenOffice.org Word Processor has a PDF export... also any application can print to PDF file. [02:09] simonft: nothing specif... just looking around for something new and better if there is such a replacement [02:09] nope ;) [02:09] and pidgin handles IRC decent, but XChat is waaay better [02:10] I know (sudo or Su = root) but i wont log with root user [02:10] Gnome Panel. Anyone have any idea how to restore defaults?? [02:10] ttmontoya, reply to the direct chat. I can talk you through it if you want. [02:10] but for the average user, getting in IRC only to get support, pidgin handlesi t just fine [02:10] anabolix: yes but what about OPENING PDF, EDITING and saving ? [02:10] punzada, I was going to try to remake pidgin until I realized they had a CLI version of it. That's precisely what I wanted to make. :P [02:10] Simonft, , it does, but it's not pretty when you're on as many networks as I am :) [02:10] punzada: ah :) === mitchell is now known as mklebel [02:10] axplus: man sudo_root will answer all your questions [02:10] and, yeah, the purple base is amazing MTecknology [02:10] :) [02:10] anybody install 8.04 with raid0?

[02:11] hi, can pm somebody about installing vmware server in ubuntu 8.04 [02:11] punzada, I do wish it had about 4 more years development on it though [02:11] scotto: not sure i know what you mean? [02:11] taquitos, I just did it today [02:11] newbie_, try lingot. Lingot is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy to use, and highly configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars,t can now be used to tune any instrument. [02:11] go for it [02:11] can someone help me with bluetooth? i use kubuntu and i can connect to my speakers, but i can't figure out how to switch the audio to the external speakers. i'd be willing to try gnome if it works better... [02:11] no one knows how to set a network card at 1/2 duplex? === jconnolly_ is now known as johnnybug [02:11] coldopm: there is "Menu Bar" "Notification Area" "Volume Control" "Clock" across the top... then "Show Desktop" "Window List" "Workspace Switcher" and "Trash" across the bottom...

[02:14] taquitos, you need to be registered to services [02:14] pac1: why [02:14] MTecknology, taquitos: PMs from unregistered users are blocked by default [02:15] argh [02:15] k, hold on [02:15] Starnestommy, I allowed them once, but not for long :P [02:15] HardHatPat-> look into using miitool [02:15] went with SciTE! [02:16] kbluetooth connects to my speakers no problem, and keeps the connection. now how do i transfer the audio to the external speakers? [02:16] arrrghhh: audio cable [02:16] I'm in ##pfsense, but it appears to be empty, and this could possibly be a linux issue. I'm trying to get a samba share between 2 interfaces in a pfSense box. I have one PC (actually a PDA) with a debian based OS on it, and I've got my Ubuntu desktop. They're connected to different interfaces on my pfSense Router. Whenever I try to connect to network shares from the PDA to the desktop, it says it fails to mount (i'm using mount [02:16] -t //MYPC /mnt/test) [02:16] just trying out the live cd, pretty neat [02:16] ipodman715: super [02:16] :) [02:16] mtkecknology pm sent [02:17] jsoftw, you're retarded. the whole point of using BT is so i don't need a cable. if i wanted to use an audio cable, i would. [02:17] whose got Xen working? which version do you have running as I can not create initrd.img with 2.6.16 [02:18] arrrghhh: awww, you hurt my feelings. [02:18] arrrghhh-> be nice, no one owes you anything [02:18] amenado, of course not. but i asked for help and he gave me a very rude answer, so i responded with the same respect he gave me. === elkbuntu is now known as elky [02:19] How easy is it to use the Ubuntu install CD to recover information off of a windows HDD? Would I have to compile a special kernel or some type of magic? === Veinor|away is now known as Veinor [02:19] pac1: are you still here [02:20] arrrghhh So his "rude" answer is a good reason to escalate things into an even more hostile more obviously rude level? That'll help. NOT [02:20] Shpook, it's actually pretty easy. i think ntfs-3g is even installed by default so you just need to mount the drive [02:20] yeah [02:20] ttmontoya, yes. [02:20] ttmontoya, do you know how to do a dcc chat? [02:20] I want to try to recover a drive as well [02:20] pac1: no [02:20] pac1: sorry man [02:21] arrrghhh: Sounds good to me....that's if the drive will allow me. From past experience, I would say clicking hard drives aren't a good thing. Thanks :-D [02:21] AnswerGuy, eh. you have to give respect to get it. he gave me no such thing. what do you care anyways? you encourage his arrogance? [02:21] ttmontoya, which chat client are you using? [02:21] Shpook, yea... probably busted. [02:21] X chat Gnome === FaBMak__ is now known as FaBMak [02:21] helllo guys [02:22] hmm I found this in the help: While other file systems (such as NTFS and HFS+) are usable, they may require additional steps to allow you to use them with Ubuntu. If possible, try to use the FAT format for your removable disk. [02:22] the command to install emerald is sudo emerald -- replace right? [02:22] but ntfs should work just fine [02:22] !attitude | arrrghhh [02:22] arrrghhh: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:22] darkcrab: that's just to start it [02:22] um.. ok, so I have setup my 3g modem now.. connected to the net et all.. how do I make ubuntu use that as default for the time being, and how do I switch back to wifi as default when I want to stop using it? :) say the 3g modem is hso0 device, and wifi is wlan0 .. [02:23] ok. find my name over on the left and right click on it select open dialog window. [02:23] fde, if you don't have an answer... simply don't answer. why would you answer with something like "use an audio cable"... sheesh everyone encourages arrogance here. i just asked for some help with BT. [02:23] I already have it installed, I am just trying to replace metacity with emerald [02:23] then select offer dcc chat. [02:23] pac1: was that what you were asking === elky is now known as elkbuntu [02:24] darkcrab, i believe you're very close... "sudo emerald --replace" is it - make sure there's no space between the -- and replace. [02:24] ttmontoya, yeah. two topics at once... x window server and xchat [02:24] What does 'peer-based' mean in the sentence: "Gnutella is a peer-based file-sharing protocol that allows a user running a Gnutella client to search for and download files from other Gnutella users"? [02:24] ttmontoya, can ya handle it? [02:24] x server [02:24] anybody know how to install "Dapper system sounds" in Hardy??.. I heard that you "should" install them to give the classic feel. [02:24] lets see [02:24] bullgard4: it means that instead of connecting to a server, it connects to other users' PCs to share things [02:24] bullgard4: It means that the files are hosted on all the client computers [02:25] arrrghhh: They were attempting to assist you, everyone here is a volunteer, your attitude ensures you won't be getting help form those more knowledgeable... if you'd like to pay us, we'd be far more prompt in answering your questions, until then, please do not be hostile with those attempting to assist you. [02:25] Starnestommy, Shpook: Thank you very much for explaining. [02:25] i'm trying to add a loopback device loop8, but ubuntu doesnt want to accept the fact its there [02:25] im using mknod to create the device [02:26] amen fde [02:26] fde, that was NOT an attempt to assist me, but belittle me. i don't see how you say that was helpful. [02:26] when i sudo losetup /dev/loop8 /xen-images/internal/disk_image.img it says "/dev/loop8: no such device or address" [02:26] arrrghhh: That's not the point. [02:26] and maybe someone would pay you if you were actually helpful. [02:26] bazhang, you about m8? [02:26] does anyone here have any experience in using a graphics tablet with ubuntu? [02:26] ttmontoya, the more information you give us, the better. Try to describe your situation: hardware, what you're running on now, what you're trying to do etc. [02:27] hey bod_ [02:27] fde, whatever. i really don't care. i just wanted some help and was greeted with arrogance and stupidity. that doesn't help anyone. just keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything helpful to say. [02:27] bazhang, hey dude, il just check if bodhi_zazen is around [02:27] arrrghhh: I could have assisted you, but you have created a bad environment in the channel, so you won't be getting help from me. [02:27] bazhang, no he's not -- but il give u a shout if he comes in ;~) [02:27] i cant believe how difficult it is to get more than 8 loopback devices, has anyone ever done anything like this before in ubuntu? [02:27] pwned [02:28] Hello, I'm running 8.04 on a Mac Pro, and the VNC and NX servers bog down the machine. X11 takes alot of the processor. [02:28] fde, ok, thanks. [02:28] in subversion, i get 'PROPFIND request failed' http://paste.ubuntu.com/11765/ [02:28] Its funny because the machine performs worse that a core 2 duo laptop and an iMac running Ubuntu. [02:29] What's the best way to disable "Dansguardian" from loading on startup without uninstalling it? It's set to load in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. [02:29] pac1: ok all I want is to fix the resolution which is 800x600 its too bog i hate it [02:29] STSX: sudo update-rc.d -f dansguardian remove [02:29] pac1: ok all I want is to fix the resolution which is 800x600 its too big i hate it, sorry [02:29] STSX initctl list dansguardian? [02:29] arrrghhh, please refrain from name calling [02:30] bazhang, where did that come from? [02:30] arrrghh, keep the questions and comments technical and you'll be ok. Comment on character flaws and us techies ignore you. We know we have character flaws... [02:30] ttmontoya: Are there any more resolutions available in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution? [02:30] <^Tech-Help^> lol [02:30] Which is better? 64 bits processor or 32?

[02:30] pac1, didn't realize i was. [02:30] pac1: only the 640x? [02:30] fde, ttmontoya, that 's the first thing to check. [02:30] ian_liu88: a 64-bit processor is usually better [02:30] I did [02:31] pac1: Hence my first reply to him :P [02:31] ian_liu88: aside from being able to hold idiotic amounts of ram, they're basically the same [02:31] ttmontoya, I had the same problem yesterday. [02:31] Starnestommy: But, isn't it known to have more bugs? [02:31] Why would Xorg be really slow when running VNC? === bod_ is now known as Bodsda [02:31] Starnestommy, amenado: Thanks much, and is there by chance a way to do it from the GUI? [02:31] ian_liu88: but the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, which works on 64-bit processors, has less bugs [02:31] I have only two options [02:31] hi all, what's the correct way to invoke an xterm from udev rules? [02:31] i'm glad everyone defends arrogance. that's the linux way! [02:31] did you fix it [02:31] arrrghhh, please stop [02:31] ttmontoya: Unfortunately experience tells me that the new Xserver doesn't like manual configuration. [02:31] ttmontoya, you need to do a bit of figuring out how x is configured on your laptop. You may be able to increase the resolution without changing the driver. [02:31] What are you so wired up about arrrghhh [02:32] bazhang: Could you please +b him for 10 mins so he can relax? [02:32] bazhang, i'm done [02:32] For some reason, my sounds sounds like crap now. [02:32] jsoftw, it's not even worth it. [02:32] google.com [02:32] HOW? [02:32] can anyone help me set up my graphics tablet on ubuntu? D: [02:32] does anyone know the correct way to invoke a terminal from udev rules? [02:32] #ubuntu-es [02:32] well it was a pretty stupid answer :) [02:32] !ask | Jburrke [02:32] Jburrke: 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. :-) [02:33] ttmontoya, ah... you may need to go poking about in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:33] grockit, vnc is a bit slow - in how its done. Theres a few tweaks you can do to speed it up dependong on exactly which vncserver you are using. [02:33] >< [02:33] chats going so fast, figured it may have been over looked [02:33] Weirdly, it only does it when stuff like music is playing. Pure tones sound fine. [02:33] my video driver as ATI [02:33] ttmontoya, its easy to mess things up, but if you have a backup of that file as it is right now, you can always get back to where you want it. [02:33] Dr_willis: Both VNC and NX really bog the machine down [02:33] usually if someone doesnt know they would say so >__> [02:33] i know this is a repetition.. but please, have a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11765/ it's a difficulty im having with SVN [02:33] and run the glest straategy game] [02:34] Dr_willis: Its like I'm working remotely [02:34] Jburrke: Many here are used to it, and all you need to worry about is text that is highlighted like this :) [02:34] ttmontoya, use the cp command to copy the file to your home directory [02:34] Dr_willis: What sort of tweaks do you usually do with Ubuntu's standard vnc server? [02:34] not highlited.. using pidgin to get here XD [02:34] grockit, try a much lighter desktopp/window manager. I guess. check to be sure only the vnc process you want to run are running. I normally DONT share the 'current/visible' desktop - that can bog things down. I dont use the gnome 'share desktop' feature. [02:34] but, i hear you [02:35] how do I make X not start by default? [02:35] and when i click to mouse close the window, do you undertand my problem ??? [02:35] grockit, reducing the # of colors, res can help [02:35] Starnestommy: Is there a difference between a 'peer-based' protocol and a 'peer-to-peer' protocol? (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) [02:35] This seems to happen no matter what sound driver I use :/ === Az__ is now known as atomsk === atomsk is now known as zxo [02:35] newish question [02:35] Dr_willis: Thanks [02:35] if i link to a page that has directions on how to install my devices drivers, could one of you help me through it? [02:35] oh well.. thanks anyway :) [02:36] like i said, the terminal makes no sense to me XD [02:36] i have to run gutsy and it has the older version of lirc 0.8.2, if i do a upgrade will that allow me to get the newest version of lirc 0.8.3? [02:36] grockit, i've heard x11vnc is much more efficient if your connection is slow. [02:36] i keep putting emerald --replace in the terminal, and it starts emerald, but when I reset the computer, I am back to metacity, any ideas? [02:36] bullgard4: they're pretty much the same [02:36] Starnestommy: ok. [02:36] Jburrke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom might be of some assistance... what does 'lspci | grep -i graphics' return though? [02:37] Jburrke: Tablets are just a different input method, graphics aren't part of that ;) [02:37] arrrghhh: Thanks. I actually have a T1 connection. Its processing the screen thats slow for me. [02:37] help, can anyone tell me if you can overlay a Clock while a screensaver is active? [02:37] grockit, normally when i vnc into a machine i use vnc4server and have it run as minimal of a desktop as i can in a 'virtual vnc only' desktop. Ive heard that FreeNX is much faster. but ive not iused freenx. [02:37] fde: nah, i know.. they're just called a "graphics tablet" usually.. [02:37] fde: do you want me to just run that code through a terminal? [02:38] Im using Konqueror, and about:plugins says there's a java plugin, but java doesn't work .. Why? [02:38] grockit: Many report FreeNX to have good performance, of course X11 will take up a lot of resources, it's the parent of every GUI on the system. [02:38] Jburrke: yes please. [02:38] What ever you do don't use Remote Desktop Viewer to view your own desktop.. you'll play havoc trying to get out. It's like looking into a mirror that has a mirror behind you.. interesting actually [02:38] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [02:38] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [02:38] what i got >__> [02:38] ttmontoya, and you get logged out like i just did. Don't panic it's just a logout and log back in. Should happen in a few seconds. [02:38] Jburrke: What issues are you having with that card? [02:39] not sure of any issues Oo [02:39] fde: Its weird that NX is *much* slower on a 8-core than a 2-core. [02:39] Jburrke: It _should_ be one of the best supported cards. [02:39] put emerald --replace where it says "command" in the window decoration section of compiz settings [02:39] Jburrke: Then what did you need assistance with with it? [02:39] i'm simply trying to get my tablet to work.. it's recognized when i plug it in but i cant move the mouse and a click = "backspace" on firefox [02:40] pac1: ok [02:40] hi everybody :) [02:40] ttmontoya, if you've made changes to your xorg.conf, the server may not like them. It will crash on startup. You'll be left with a terminal window. Again... don't panic. You have your backup file right in your home directory so you can copy it back and try again. [02:40] Im using Konqueror, and about:plugins says there's a java plugin, but java doesn't work .. Why? Anyone? Highlight me please!

[02:40] Jburrke: Great... but what isn't working that you need assistance with? [02:41] Jburrke: From what you've said, it should just work by default? [02:41] Veinor, have you tried turning the volume on the input side down? [02:41] ttmontoya, it helps if you have another computer you can log in and get to xchat with, in case you muck up something bad and need help getting things straightened out. [02:41] fde: it's not though.. i plug it in and all that works is the click button which is read by the computer as "backspace" on firefox [02:41] anyone hear of installing dapper system sounds? [02:41] Flannel you here? [02:41] ttmontoya, you'll also probably have to do some rtfm'ing [02:41] i cant move the mouse at all.. so i cant test to see if pressure/tilt even work [02:42] oh, fixed it! [02:42] your welcome lol [02:42] I'd suggest looking at a wikipedia article on the x server for starters, then try reading about the various options for ati drivers. [02:42] FreshUbuntu anyone??? [02:42] Jburrke: try installing wacom-tools ? [02:42] pac1: rtfm'ing what is this [02:42] Hi i just installed 8.04 and im wondering is there a way to run dual monitor? [02:42] to manage my drives, i need to be using gparted from the livecd correct? [02:42] okay.. is there a guide to walk me through that? [02:43] rtfm stands for "read the fine manual" [02:43] like i said, ultimate linux nabb [02:43] someone know a guide in C/C++ for an open source project for a beginner ? [02:43] Jburrke: via 'sudo aptitude install wacom-tools' ... it recommends something vital :) [02:43] pac1: lol fine [02:43] o [02:43] s/fine/ f word of your choice/ [02:43] pac1: XD [02:44] fde: thanks, it's installing.. [02:44] XD? [02:44] I have to download about 180 MB worth of stuff in Synaptic, and I'm wondering if I can start it now, quit in a while, and continue with it tomorrow? Is this possible? [02:44] in case anyone was curious, you have to put this in /etc/modprobe.d/loop.local: [02:44] options loop max_loop=255 [02:44] what should i use to edit css website in ubuntu? [02:44] then rmmod and modprobe loop [02:44] fde: when it's done shal i just plug it in and see if it works, or is there a bit of configuring i should do? [02:44] pac1: it's a smiley.. like :) but a bit of a laughing one.. XD [02:44] pac1: :P [02:45] Jburrke: That is a tool to configure things... but it might "Just Work(tm)" when that's installed, we'll see [02:45] I'm trying to make my multimedia keys (so, XF86AudioRaiseVolume) to control PCM volume instead of Master... don't even know where to start, though [02:45] minus 'to' [02:45] fde: nope.. same effect [02:45] anyone in here know how to get a clock that displays inside a screensaver [02:45] ttmontoya, another thing to do is simply print out the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and take a look at it. You can also find samples of it on the web. Maybe even one that can be used with your particular laptop. [02:45] any1 here have folding@home running properly? [02:45] Jburrke: Is there a new entry in System > Preferences or System > Administration now? [02:46] WIDESPREADpanic: did you try bluefish editor? [02:46] I know this is not #svn, but I was told it was not possible. I probably asked the wrong way though :)... How do I convert a SVN snapshot (say, a tarball with no .svn dirs) to a SVN checkout so that I can update it? [02:46] pdfedit is rubbish [02:46] fde: not sure [02:46] andresj: Ubuntu directly forked SVN for Bazaar, so you're really asking the wrong place ;) [02:46] fde: do you have any idea what it would be named? [02:46] ttmontoya, when I'm struggling with something, I'm never afraid of breaking anything. (its mine, I get to keep the pieces and put them back together anyway) [02:47] Jburrke: Something about Tablets I'd assume [02:47] iXneonXi, check the package manager for other screensavers. I recall one or 2 with clocks in there. [02:47] fde: nope, dont see anything =/ [02:47] hi. Have problems with printer setup. CUPS recognize printer and test page is ok. CAnnot print with any program [02:47] does hardy use more system ressources than gutsy cuz on package of hardy it says 386mb ram and on gutsy and below it says 256mb [02:47] Dr_willis: i'm looking for something that works with all screensavers - I enjoy my Flurry, I just wish I could have a clock somewhere [02:48] iXneonXi, all screensavers? Never noticed a tool that can put a clock on top of EVERY screensaver. There are clock-screensavers however. [02:48] Does anybody use dia? Can it export to pdf? [02:49] Jburrke: dpkg -L wacom-tools | grep bin ? [02:49] fde: i have no idea what you just said.. you want me to run that? Oo [02:49] prakriti: Every application that can print can export to PDF. [02:49] D-Unit, 384 is 'recommended' for live-cd usage. even on gutsy (as i recall) [02:49] * sCOTTo just needs a proper pdf editing tool! [02:49] Jburrke: yup [02:49] Dr_willis: I'll try looking at the Flurry source and I'll post a question on the mailing list or forum [02:50] iXneonXi, never heard of flurry.

[02:50] Jburrke: try running xsetwacom [02:50] If nobody knows how to interrupt then continue a download in Synaptic, is it possible with apt-get or something similar? Or if I could get a direct link to the files I'm downloading, I could use a download manager. [02:51] fde: got a lot of junk [02:51] TokenBad, boot in safe mode; then down the screen res/fix the drivers [02:51] iXneonXi, there is flury for linux at the flury home page i just googled. :) [02:51] does anyone have the intel 950GMA video card?

[02:54] ttmontoya, sorry I can't be more specific, Its been a few years since used the r128 driver. [02:54] bazhang: i wont, was an accident.. sorry [02:54] I'm having a strange issue with my wireless configuration. [02:55] Hi I am trying to install do the alternate encrypted kubuntu intstall, and I'm having some trouble with the partitioner. It will let me set a partition as 'encrypted disk' but won't let me mount / on it. How can I set this HD up with encrypted kubuntu? [02:55] Jburrke: I'd recommend 'xsetwacom -x' probably, as I don't think the rest will be enlightening to you... ensure the tablet is connected to the machine though... [02:55] hi could anyone tell me how to setup dual monitors with an nvidia 8800gts gpu [02:55] ttmontoya, Aha! the permissions problem. I ran into that on Saturday when I was getting my xorg.conf up to speed. Here's what you do... [02:56] fde: i think the problem is that i do not have a wacom tablet.. take a look at this link [02:56] martin_, install and run the 2 not installed by default nvidia config tools. [02:56] pacl: ok you told me to modified the xorg.conf file but it dont let me , do I have to login in root [02:56] fde: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen [02:56] !lamp [02:56] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [02:56] ttmontoya, No, use sudo [02:56] all of the parameters look correct in /etc/network/interfaces [02:56] martin_, theres one that does NOT have a X in the name. it has a gui to set up the monitors/layout. , the othe is what i use to enable twinview support in the xorg.conf file. [02:56] what should i use to edit css website in ubuntu? [02:56] ttmontoya, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:57] ttmontoya, First go read about file permissions on linux if you haven't already. You want to be able to set the permissions on the xorg.conf files and on the directory above them so you can do what you want from your login, without using sudo all the time. [02:57] dr_willis install what and how, ive got about 1hr experience on this OS [02:57] but ifup ath0 fails unless I do an "iwconfig ath0 essid networkname" 1st [02:57] Jburrke: Do you see your device in that list? [02:57] WIDESPREADpanic: your favorite text editor? [02:57] WIDESPREADpanic: emacs or vim :-p [02:57] fde: yes [02:57] WIDESPREADpanic, a text editor, yes. [02:57] this means that the cmputer won't boot and joing the network on its own - which is exactly what I want [02:57] Jburrke: Ok, then follow the guide there, and tell me whether it gets it working :) [02:57] ttmontoya, but first note what the permissions are before you start. Be sure to reset them that way when you're done. Leaving config files with open permissions is not such a good thing. [02:57] fde: but i dont understand that guide =/ [02:58] quick question: Hardy by default sets the inactive window decorations to be transparent, which I don't like, but I can't find the option to disable it in the Compiz Settings Manager... anyone know where I can find it? [02:58] martin_, one of the commands to do is lilke ' sudo nvidia-config --twinview' (that may not be the right command name),, then restart the X server that should make both moniotrs start working. then run the OTHER tool to tweak the monitors. [02:58] Okay, I rebooted my computer looking for directions in how to get into my bios. There weren't any, just "ESC" to get out of grub. [02:58] martin_, not on a Linux box - so i cant verify the proper commands. [02:58] Jburrke: everything in the boxes is stuff to type, and requires no thinking... everything explains what you're doing at that point. [02:58] HALLO -- Have problems with printer setup. CUPS recognizes printer and test page is ok but cannot print with any program === mike is now known as Nalid [02:58] dr_willis sorry you really lost me, and how do i do that [02:58] martin_, the gotcha in this is if you have a kvm... [02:58] fde: i'll give it a shot.. where it says "general info" though i dont have any of those ubuntu versions [02:58] cathartia-> paste in pastebin your interfaces file [02:58] ttmontoya, pac1: that's not the proper way to edit system-wide config files really. You want to use sudo [02:58] i've got 8.04 or whatever [02:58] where do you set the number of desktops? [02:59] Jburrke: It looks complicated, but I promise it's really not, just follow that guide please. [02:59] martin_, from the shell. If you are lost in shell ussage. You may want to spend an hr reading a few shell/bash tutorials. === Nalid is now known as nalid [02:59] cathartia: you could consider putting the lines you want in the /etc/rc.local file [02:59] Hi, how do I delete a mysql databaseÉ [02:59] !twinview | martin_ [02:59] martin_: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead === nalid is now known as Nalidixic [02:59] tinker, Usually you have to hit something like the delete key *before* you see GRUB [02:59] What I mean to say is: /etc/network/interfaces correctly specifies the network name - but it doesn't get used unless I manually use iwconfig [02:59] Jburrke: The guide needs to be updated is all... [02:59] fde: sure, but what about my ubuntu version.. >< [02:59] fde: so just follow it to the letter? [02:59] Jordan_U: which key should I hit? [02:59] if i have a python app that tries to mount a filesystem, and i do 'sudo python', and manually call the function, would this be enough to mount the fs? it doesn't appear to be mounting anything. [02:59] Jburrke: yup [02:59] ok, thx guys ill check that out [02:59] what is /etc/rc.local ? [02:59] good evening everyone. question about apt-get.. if there are programs I want to get but don't know the name of the package, is there a place to search? [02:59] cathartia-> paste in pastebin your interfaces file..lets see if anything we can spot [02:59] fde: okay, give me a minute and i'll be back.. thanks :D [02:59] jrib, ttmontoya, jrib is right, but I always break the rules. As long as everyting is set back to the right permissions, would you be ok with it jrib? [02:59] tinker, Depends on your BIOS unfortunately [02:59] tinker, try a bunch - f2, del, any of the f keys. [02:59] amenado: what is paste-bin ? [02:59] ugh [02:59] cathartia: it is a file that runs on boot [03:00] !apt > Nalidixic (read the private message from ubottu) [03:00] !paste | cathartia [03:00] cathartia: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:00] tinker, It will usually flash quickly across the screen when you boot [03:00] Nalidixic: use Synaptic or Add/Remove if you want a gui [03:00] tinker, that's why i said look for the message. they almost always say *something* like "hit del to enter setup" [03:00] tinker, hold down any key, then when you get the key stuck message it should say like f2 to enter setup [03:00] odd: so I can just do an iwconfig in there - problem solved [03:00] Nalidixic, packages.ubuntu.com [03:00] Nalidixic, packages.ubuntu.com or apt-cache search keyword [03:00] cathartia: you could try... [03:00] pac1: no, I don't really see the point to be honest [03:00] fiyawerx: okay I will try that [03:00] ty [03:00] tinker, what kind ofm achine? [03:00] he could have just googled :-\ [03:01] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11771/ [03:01] dells are usually like f12 [03:01] jrib, maybe I'm making this too hard... I just hate typing my password over and over. [03:01] pac1: you would need to sudo to change permissions anyway and the likelihood you mess something up increases [03:01] anyone know how to set extra desktops? [03:01] odd: I need the command to be SUDOd [03:01] jrib, ttmontoya, listen to jrib. [03:01] fiyawerx, in ubuntu or compiz for cube [03:01] cathartia: that is ok. rc.local runs as root on boot up [03:01] pac1: you shouldn't be editing files that often that it becomes a burden. In any case, you can get a root shell with 'sudo -i' for those special occasions [03:01] bazhang, both, actually, i only have 2 [03:01] odd: that sounds like a good hack for this [03:02] amenado: do you see anything wrong with my interfaces file? [03:02] bazhang, might actually switch over to kde soon tho, gnome is gettign on my nerves again [03:02] jrib, thanks. I didn't know that. [03:02] I am trying to run the 8.04 live cd and once i get past hte options i get "out of range" on my monitor. after attempting to change the vga settigns manually, i've come to ask for suggestions [03:02] fde: i'm at the part where it says to note the product of the tablet [03:02] i really like how gvfs handles remote locations but eh [03:02] like I said - it has the network name in there but when I do an iwconfig after an ifup the network name is blank until I manually set it with iwconfig [03:02] cathartia-> you are using static, am not sure even with auth ath0 would initiate an association to AP [03:02] then all is well [03:02] MTecknology : still there? [03:02] fiyawerx, cube is in general virtual horizontal desktops set to 4 (in ccsm) in ubuntu right click on workplace switcher and up the number [03:02] fde: mine's the exact same as his.. so do those commands just go into the same terminal? [03:02] is there an application like netlimiter for linux? [03:03] taquitos, you're back now? [03:03] rickJames: what all have you done? [03:03] yes [03:03] taquitos, I PM'd you [03:03] amenado: I don't understand - please explain [03:03] when at command prompt in live cd..how you start gui? [03:03] hmm [03:03] thingfish, other than the vga (f4) option nothing. i'm at a loss [03:03] Whats the kernel boot command to disable sda from probing the CD-ROM in ubuntu? [03:03] fde: are you there? [03:04] TokenBad, startx [03:04] amenado: I don't know what you mean [03:04] jrib, ttmontoya, I dont' normally go around changing config files. In this case it was a brand new box with an old xorg.conf on it from the box i ripped the disk drive from. A certain amount of tinkering was needed to go from 640x480 on one screen to 1280x1024 on two screens with a kvm thrown in for more fun. [03:04] i just pm'ed you [03:04] so does anyone know how to transfer audio to bluetooth connected speakers? [03:04] cathartia-> having you set it as static, i dont believe it will initiate a process to associate with your AP [03:04] pac1, jrib, that's exactly what ttmontoya wants to do. [03:04] cathartia: put the commands that you usually execute to start your network in teh rc.local file... reboot and see if it worked. [03:04] taquitos, register to services [03:04] amenado: what do you mean by "associate" [03:04] how can i combine two boot disk ISOs? i want to combine a sisela boot disk with a super grub disk[to save CDs] [03:04] amenado: what do you mean by "AP" [03:05] ttmontoya, jrib, gotta go. bedtime for bonzo. [03:05] argh [03:05] pac1: night [03:05] bazhang, thanks...did that and get an error saying server is already active for display 0...and to remove /tmp/.xo-lock and start again [03:05] command line is prefered... [03:05] whats the command to get root again? [03:05] cathartia: ap == access point [03:05] amenado: what do you mean by "it" [03:05] i have the speakers connected, but now i don't know how to transfer the audio from the computer to the speakers [03:05] !sudo > fips (read the private message from ubottu) [03:05] TokenBad, try ctrl alt f7 [03:05] hi eveyone [03:05] !sudo [03:05] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:05] ttmontoya, good luck with this. I hang out here sometimes, look me up and let me know how you make out. [03:05] cathartia: gtg, good luck! [03:05] fips: sudo is single command, su is log into root [03:05] amenado: I want to use static IPs - do you think it will work with dhcp? [03:05] anybody ever get his error when trying access screen resolution under preferences with 8.04 "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." [03:05] bazhang get signal out of range [03:05] odd: thanks for the idea [03:05] how can I run a script when I insert a usb disk? [03:06] m_tadeu: research udev [03:06] bluefoxx, no - su is switch user [03:06] cathartia may i suggest you read up on some tutorials on wireless networking [03:06] Im trying to use vlc as my media player in firefox and when I try to view a steaming quicktime video the link to it says "no video" and I can't even click on it.. [03:06] TokenBad, what res you have it set to [03:06] MTecknology: but it also lets you log on as root if you use it alone [03:06] 800x600 60hz [03:06] but had to reset in the xorg stuff..so like need to restart it with those settings [03:06] amenado: I've read some already. The problem seems to be the network name not getting set right. [03:07] how do i disable automount? [03:07] fde: you there? >< [03:07] TokenBad, that is out of range? what card and drivers and how installed [03:07] porpoise, edit /etc/fstab [03:07] rickJames: 8.04 doesn't make it easy on us. They took away our prime tool for configuring display. [03:07] anyone with a clue about PDF editing programs? [03:07] amenado: As I said, as soon as I manually set it with iwconfig - all is well [03:07] bazhang its an old hp..just bought it today..has a Intel 82865G card in it..and used vesa driver [03:07] hi, can somebody help me with sound problem? i updated my ubuntu 8.04 and i have no sound output but headphones are still detected [03:07] set what with iwconfig [03:07] sCOTTo, pdfeditor [03:08] thingfish : it appears tokenbad (who i was helping too) has found some one who is working on it with him. thank you for your time :) [03:08] amenado: And when I run "ifup atho -va" I see the correct network name in the output. [03:08] catharia, then be happy with it, its not such an issue [03:08] sCOTTo, there aren't really any that are *good*. [03:08] gosh I loved shared keys [03:08] you mean displayconfig-gtk [03:08] TokenBad, what res do you want to get with that [03:08] is it dangerous that ubuntu keeps automount my drive while I resize it with gparted? [03:08] rickJames: what tools are available, require a gui. Which of course you don't have. :) [03:08] where did that go? [03:08] so... can anybody explain to me how to set up IPsec? [03:08] bazhang whatever it allows... [03:08] arrrghhh: yeah tell me about it - I found pdfedit in ubuntu - but it didnt DO anything really... i need one for an end user :( [03:08] arrrghhh [03:08] amenado: It is a show stopper for me because I want to run this computer headless in the garage - it must be able to join the network at boot time [03:08] TokenBad, that is something you need to fiddle with then--is this hardy or gutsy [03:08] !pdfeditor [03:08] Factoid pdfeditor not found [03:09] bazhang but once get it set..how restart x with those settings [03:09] paulcross: do you mean pdfedit or pdfeditor ? [03:09] sCOTTo, there's not any good windows solutions either unless you want to pay for adobe reader pro [03:09] amenado: I can't login to the machine to do iwconfig if the machine won't join the net [03:09] hey, how can I see what's running a specific port? [03:09] bazhang its 7.04 to be honest..thats the disk I have [03:09] how can i combine two boot disk ISOs? i want to combine a sisela boot disk with a super grub disk[to save CDs] command line is easier for me[though if i need programs i can do that /sigh] [03:09] arrrghhh: i wonder why... [03:09] #irc.overthewire.org [03:09] running on* [03:09] amenado: If this were a laptop - there would be no issue [03:09] sCOTTo, it's a proprietary format... [03:09] ahhh [03:09] amenado: But it is a Desktop running headless [03:09] Caram, netstat [03:09] Im trying to use vlc as my media player in firefox and when I try to view a steaming quicktime video the link to it says "no video" and I can't even click on it.. sometimes firefox will crash [03:09] thanks [03:10] sCOTTo, what about foxit? [03:10] sCOTTo, same thing. the package called pdfedit. but the programe named pdfeditor. [03:10] fiyawerx: whats that like? [03:10] cathartia-> you can try dhcp [03:10] Does ubuntu have anything similar to partimage? [03:10] arrrghhh, is there a way for me to look at a specific port? [03:10] sCOTTo, never tried their editor, but i always use it for just pdf reading, very nice, lightweight too [03:10] amenado: I'll give that a go [03:10] Caram, look at the man page for netstat, there may be. [03:10] amenado: thanks [03:10] fiyawerx: is it for linux? [03:10] HALLO -- Have problems with printer setup. CUPS recognizes printer and test page is ok but cannot print with any program [03:10] sCOTTo, might have to use the editor in wine tho, i see they do offer 6 month free licenses, worth a shot [03:11] kk [03:11] porpoise: how about partimage? [03:11] cathartia-> you're welcome [03:11] yeah thought so [03:11] noone knows how to combine bootable ISO disks? [03:11] sCOTTo, they have reader for linux, editor prob. won't be too long in coming linux side [03:11] amenado: I do need the IPs to be unchanging though [03:11] I need an python IDE with code auto completing feature? Is there an one? [03:11] jrib: i don't think it's in ubuntu's repositories [03:11] bluefoxx, cannot be done [03:11] !info partimage | porpoise [03:11] sCOTTo, what i do is take a screenshot of the pdf and edit what i want to lol then print to pdf. [03:11] porpoise: partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.7-1 (hardy), package size 271 kB, installed size 960 kB [03:11] porpoise: it is... in universe probably. [03:11] amenado: I guess if I were to set the lease time to infinite that would be almost static [03:11] bluefoxx, you could burn both to one cd and make your own bootloader script to load one or hte other, but you would need to know where on the disk the second bootscript is [03:11] arrrghhh, can just use imagemagick for that, convert foo.pdf foo.jpg [03:11] lol [03:11] cathartia-> again, may I suggest reading tutorials on networking, and dhcp please.. [03:12] fde: i got to the colibration part [03:12] amenado: I'm pretty knowledgeable already - I'm a proffessional [03:12] sCOTTo, do you need to actually change pdf forms? or just like fill in forms that are pdf? [03:12] fiyawerx, eh either way it's not a *good* way to do it. [03:12] cathartia-> based on mac address..you can have the dhcp assign... [03:12] fde: got to where it says "make" and it said [03:12] fiyawerx: my customer wants to open a pdf, edit it and save it... i guess they are STUCK with Adobe huh... [03:12] fde: "nothing to be done for 'build'." [03:12] arrrghhh, I have never done it but I can suggest some things to try [03:13] rickJames: any how-tos on that?[@bazhang i know it's do-able cause i saw someone do this with ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu cds and the alt installers on a dvd once] [03:13] Jburrke: Can you provide the output in full to paste.ubuntu.com please? [03:13] i wonder if there is a util to IMPORT PDF to openoffice [03:13] fde: which output? [03:13] hello i am currently in vista (hd0) i want to boot up ubuntu 8.04 in vmware (hd1), i can get to grub bootloader, but then i am notified by vmware bios that Error 21: Slected disk does not exit, what should i do? [03:13] amenado: my network has few machines on it so I really want to assign static IPs [03:13] bluefoxx, then why ask if you know [03:13] fiyawerx, i use open office [03:13] Can I have the ff2 package installed alongside the ff3 package? [03:13] Jburrke: Everything that make said. [03:13] amenado: I try to avoid DHCP whenever possible [03:14] sCOTTo, i think the good folks at sun are working on one for OOo 3. [03:14] fde: all it said was "make: Nothing to be done for 'build'." [03:14] cathartia once more, read up a liltle bit more about dhcp, and mac address.. [03:14] RB2, yes [03:14] Hossam, unless your setup is unique, tell grub to use hd0 [03:14] Bodsda, thanks [03:14] arrrghhh: good stuff [03:14] arrrghhh, Worst. Lag. Ever ( that was a response to your question about bluetooth speakers ) [03:14] RB2, no probs [03:14] Hossam, it sees ubuntu's disk image as its own primary drive [03:14] bazhang: because i dont know how to, but i figured someone in here might[i trolled the internet the past hour for this, to no avail :(] [03:14] Jordan_U, ok? [03:14] bluefoxx, try uck [03:14] amenado: ok - thanks again [03:14] bazhang: uck? [03:15] amenado: gtg [03:15] mshade: i am trying to run off a physical disk hd1 [03:15] arrrghhh, Do you see the bluetooth icon in the top left panel? [03:15] !uck | bluefoxx or remastersys/reconstructor [03:15] bluefoxx or remastersys/reconstructor: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [03:15] cathartia-> and as suggested by the other gentleman, you can put a script in init.d but i would rather do it in if--pre-up.d [03:15] bazhang: ah, interesting...i will look into that one, thanks [03:15] Jordan_U, the speakers are connected currently. [03:15] mshade: vista is on hd0, and ubuntu hd1, i instructed the vmware vmdk that is should use hd1 (full disk access), grub starts in vmware but i get the error 21: slected disk does not exist [03:16] I some how lost my top and bottom bars... Is there a way to get them back besides restarting? [03:16] how would I go about getting the keycode of the multimedia keys on my laptop if xev doesn't display them? [03:16] Jordan_U, paired, whatever you want to call it. [03:16] billenium: maybe ctrl+alt+backspace [03:16] bluefoxx, theoretically -- u could use sgd's menu to boot the sisela when choosen [03:16] !resetpanels | billenium [03:16] billenium: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:16] Hossam, so you have two physical drives and you are giving vmware full access to one of them [03:16] what is the lightest windowmanager that also has compositing? [03:16] Thats evil Starnestommy... [03:16] arrrghhh, Is the audio service running? [03:16] Jburrke: See where it says "Calibrate output (If calibrate for some reason doesn't work for you) below there? try skipping to that bit... [03:16] Bodsda: O.o? any clue how? [03:17] Hossam, correct? [03:17] bluefoxx, erm,.,. no [03:17] billenium: or enter "gnome-panel" in the Alt+F2 dialog [03:17] mshade: think i understand you now about hd0 [03:17] Jordan_U, well this is a laptop and sound works out of the internal speakers. i just want to transfer the audio output to the bluetooth speakers. [03:17] hotmonkeyluv: I think it's xfce [03:17] bluefoxx, but in theory its doable [03:17] mshade: that is correct [03:17] fde: do i paste everything from my tablet into there? Oo [03:17] Starnestommy : i dot know if i want to take suggestions from you anymore... [03:17] Starnestommy: thanks [03:17] nevermind [03:17] Bodsda: ah, well thanks for telling me :) i will do some more research into GRUB then[bout time i did anyways :\] [03:17] :( my monitor is dying.... just as i get everything working great (software wise) [03:17] bluefoxx, i suppose youd have to find ut what code is used to boot the disk, then duplicate that code into a menu item that gets redirected to a section on the disk [03:18] Hossam, the traiditional way is to create a hd image file on your main OS's drive and use that. since you're giving vmware its own disk, there is an extra step i think [03:18] don´t* [03:18] I'm working in the ubuntu live CD playing around with my 9600GT. I have the drivers installed and now I'm trying to configure dual screen. [03:18] By any chance, can I kill wineserver if I'm not running any apps? IE for linux was running before (for testing) and now it's developed a wicked memory leak [03:18] Hossam, did it install fine? is this the first time you're booting the ubuntu guest? [03:18] arrrghhh, I think that if you enable the audio service that you will see a new sink in padevchooser ( pulseaudio ) which you can re-rout any ( or all ) applications you want too [03:18] RB2, yes [03:18] Bodsda: simple enough, in theory at least >. > [03:18] mshade: i edited the grub boot option to boot from (hd0,0) instead of hd(1.0) still same error [03:18] arrrghhh, If you are using Hardy that is [03:18] I have successfully setup my 24inch at 1920x1200 and my 20.1 inch at 1600x1200 in dualview mode and in seperate X servers mode but neither is satisfactory. === bluefoxx is now known as bluefoxx|away [03:19] mshade: i installed both of these operating systems without the use of vmware, now im just trying to run each in vmware through full physical disk access [03:19] I'd like to be able to drag between X servers but if I run something in full screen I want it to go into full screen on only that one monitor. [03:19] Jordan_U, i am... but kubuntu. i'd be willing to give gnome a shot but i really have grown fond of kde. and kbluetooth is connected to the speakers. [03:19] bluefoxx, lol, or ,.,.just thinkin on my feet here,.,. somehow partition a cd into two partitions then grub could detect and run each one [03:19] Bodsda, thanks again! It decided that it wanted 1.5GB all to itself and growing hehe [03:19] DigitalisAkujin, ok, you're just braggin' [03:19] If I run in dualview it treets both monitors as one. [03:19] Hossam, ahhhh [03:19] Jburrke: You said there was nothing returned? You can copy and paste the section that is applicable to your tablet though from the section I pointed out, yes [03:19] lol no i'm trying to figure shit out XD [03:19] mshade: yes this is the first time im booting ubuntu as a guest within vista, but not the first time booting vanilla [03:19] RB2, yeah, those things need to be killed -- you can kill any process, just may need a reboot to fix it [03:20] language DigitalisAkujin [03:20] DigitalisAkujin, j/k thats a sweet setup [03:20] is network manager with ubuntu the same thing as wpa_suppicant? [03:20] !language [03:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:20] Hossam, OK -- it's still going to be hd0,0 as to ubuntu, that is the only disk it has [03:20] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11773/ [03:20] Hossam, but we might need to add a kernel option or something... is the ubuntu drive all a single partition? [03:20] Jordan_U, i am using hardy tho. [03:20] fde: that's what i got back for pasting all the info under my tablet.. [03:20] mshade: ill try to edit grub again [03:20] eisenhower, no [03:20] Jburrke: No... into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:21] here's a picture, http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/4163/P1010006.JPG [03:21] can someone help me out finding what is the udev rule for usb memory sticks? [03:21] but seriously, any solutions? [03:21] fde: explain that.. i have no idea what you just said lol [03:21] mshade: i selected guided use the whole disk when i installed ubuntu 8.04 [03:21] bazhang: alright well i need help connecting to m y universitys wireless internet [03:21] How do i rename a folder from a terminal? [03:21] can you help me out? === bluefoxx|away is now known as bluefoxx [03:21] Bodsda, usually I don't hesitate to kill a process if need be, but wine is a finicky thing I try to stay away from as much as possible. [03:21] DigitalisAkujin, talk to the #compiz-fusion guys, they might know [03:21] hey... someone knows if the integrated vga from intel x3100 is now compatible with compiz fusion in ubuntu 804!?!? [03:21] Jburrke: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf <-- type that, then paste it at the bottom. [03:21] PaRruDoO: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 382, column 84 [03:21] RB2, yeah,. its fine to kill it though,.,.;~) [03:21] eisenhower, ask your question (with plenty of info) and if someone knows they will answer thanks [03:22] fde: okay, do i type that then press enter, then paste the other info? [03:22] Bodsda, it's a pleasure actually. :) [03:22] ;~) [03:22] PaRruDoO, best to ask that in #compiz-fusion [03:22] mshade: i dont have to change the uuid of the disk or anything do i? [03:22] Bodsda: still wont be that easy >. > [03:22] Jburrke: It will bring up a text editor where you will paste what you just pasted to terminal! [03:22] Jordan u: Can you wriet me the command you gave me for the permissions problem sudo ??? [03:22] bazhang ok thanks [03:22] PaRruDoO, id ask the #compiz-fusion guys if i were you [03:22] fde: i see.. [03:22] Hossam, you might need to get rid of the uuid all together [03:22] bluefoxx, nope ;~) thats half the fun [03:22] fde: so i type the info off of that page into the text editor? Oo [03:23] Hossam, but UUID is something i'm really not fluent with. [03:23] ttmontoya, sudo chmod ?? [03:23] Hossam, i can see that being the issue though [03:23] mshade: ok, perhaps i should boot with livecd under vmware and reinstall grub through sudo grub? [03:23] Jburrke: Yes... because it'll open an important text file that knows what to do with that info :) [03:23] Bodsda: >D [03:23] ;~) [03:23] Hossam, you can probably regen it, yes [03:23] fde: okay.. there are two tabs on that text editor, one named "xorg.confSection" & one named "InputDevice" [03:24] Hossam, give that a shot -- but then it may not boot natively! [03:24] fde: i paste it into the confsection one, right? [03:24] Can anyone guide me on how to install JAI in ubuntu.. thanks [03:24] PaRruDoO: My Dell D830 said in the marketing information that it was X3100. lspci calls it Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. It works with compiz, but compiz + opengl apps don't work well together. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/96991 [03:24] Launchpad bug 96991 in xorg-server "3D stuff breaks with Compiz: Redirected Direct Rendering is needed in DRI" [Wishlist,Triaged] [03:24] mshade: i think i will try that, then force my pc's bios to boot off of the vista hdd (hd0) which also has a grub bootloader! [03:24] Hossam, i think removing use of UUID might be the final course of action needed. try doing grub-install from liveCD within ubuntu though [03:24] mshade: Nothing to be fluid about... ls -l /etc/device/by-uuid ... they are symlinks to regular devices via hash tables... [03:24] mshade: ok ill try both, thanks for your help [03:25] mshade: this project is becoming a pain d=]... [03:25] How to obtain the sourcecode of Tracker? [03:25] Jburrke: Just paste it to the bottom of the file please. [03:25] Hossam, it's a pain to be able to boot VM and native for sure :) [03:25] bullgard4, if its in repo's sudo apt-get source tracker [03:25] Hossam, you probably won't be able to get windows to do it. perhaps with some funky hardware profile thing, but iv'e never been succesful being able to bop back and forth [03:25] fde: okay, moving on to "setting up X" [03:25] Is there a way to get Active X plug-ins working under Firefox? [03:25] fde, thanks -- i was unaware that's how it worked [03:26] mshade: gargh, ill see if i have luck thanks! [03:26] fde, i need to read an article or something. UUIDs have always thrown me off. i don't see the point :) [03:26] twistage: I think you might need IE in wine to use ActiveX [03:26] fde, coming from slackware anyway ;) [03:26] Does anyone here know how to get the pen on a tablet toshiba laptop to work??? [03:26] mshade: It adds security as it's harder to locate a hash table than a simple '/dev/sda1' [03:26] Starnestommy: Eh, thats what I thought. Real flaky. Thanks. [03:27] mshade: Slackers are notoriously bad at adjusting to new technology, it's ok :) [03:27] alright here is the universities set up page. But everyone says to connect using wpa_supplicant. can someone help me do this? http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/cats/network/wlan/8021x/linux.html [03:27] mshade: New technology generally makes things easier, less work for you... this is simply a bad example... nothing wrong with knowing the old ways though :) [03:28] how do I reduce the timout in sudo ? [03:28] fde, i agree about slack being behind the curve of course :) where is the hash table located, how do i find those symlinks [03:28] twistage, What do you need that requires active X? Is it really worth that dirty feeling? :) [03:28] Pelo, you can reset with sudo -k maybe man sudo has answers [03:28] what does "nice" mean on a process? [03:29] !pastebin > taquitos [03:29] * Pelo agrees with fde , he'll have none of those new fangled electric shaving things [03:29] Bodsda, man sudo was a nightmare, that's why I was asking [03:29] eisenhower, better to tell us what card chipset you have, what you have tried and what errors you have gotten-->network is presumably wpa/wpa2 [03:29] mshade: I told you where you find the symlinks ... I'm not entirely sure what you mean by where the hash table is located... it's generated automatically... [03:29] Jordan_U: Heh, yeah. Unfortunately one of my economics classes online components requires Active X, it half-way works under Wine, but it's pretty bunk [03:30] HALLO -- Have problems with printer setup.

[04:07] Jburrke: uhh... sudo that [04:07] etheredge, please double check [04:07] anybody know how to scroll up the window in ircii? ^^ [04:07] fde: sudo mount /dev/hda1/mnt [04:07] fde: type that? [04:08] joanki: nickserv password? [04:08] cant see it on the box as lame as that sounds [04:08] Jburrke: space between 1 and / [04:08] joanki: stop asking the same question i told you how to do it [04:08] nullboy, calm down [04:08] Turns out Realtek makes audio drivers for linux [04:08] thanks [04:08] nullboy, please be civil [04:08] fde: "mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist" [04:08] etheredge: There should be a logo somewhere. Ether the classic DVD logo, or one of the new HDDVD/Blu-Ray logos. [04:08] it worked [04:09] Jburrke: doh... sda1 sorry [04:09] Bodsda: but they are repeating after help, that's not against your rules? [04:09] nullboy: lmao [04:09] Jburrke, do sudo fdisk -l to make sure its /dev/sda1 you want [04:09] nullboy, some are very new here [04:09] Bodsda bazhang: how about one of you picks on me instead of both mm k? [04:09] regular dvd [04:09] nullboy, the problem was the way you said it not what you said [04:10] nullboy, continue discussion in ##discussion plz [04:10] lmao [04:10] so.. anybody have any idea on how to recover grub's boot paramters after a hardy upgrade gone awry? [04:10] etheredge, you have libdvdread3 installed? [04:10] if you want to continue it [04:10] bodsda: okay, but what am i looking at Oo [04:10] etheredge: Then I'm not sure why it wouldn't be playing the dvd. I had the same problem before I installed the libdvdcss2 package, but afterwards, everything worked fine. This would be a good question for the forums. [04:10] The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss [04:10] Jburrke, it should give u a list of all your drives, find the one you want to mount and find the corresponding /dev/??? [04:11] Bodsda: It's Windows, which generally only uses one partition, so I'm guessing it's /dev/sda1 . [04:11] perhaps i could find just that package [04:11] Hi [04:11] i thought i already had it installed [04:11] how do i tell which is which? Oo [04:11] etheredge, make sure that you correctly installed libdvdcss2 then-->check in synaptic [04:11] er.. sorry [04:11] fde, if its his primary hdd yes [04:11] Jburrke: did you type 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' yet? [04:11] bodsda: hwo do i tell whcich is which [04:11] How can I sync my Nokia N73 and Evolution calendar [04:11] Jburrke, pastebin it and tell me what size the drive is [04:12] shows nothing [04:12] Bodsda: Apparently it's his only... as he's got Ubuntu on an external, which won't be sdx# [04:12] .... [04:12] fde: yes, it said "mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist" [04:12] argh [04:12] evolution :/ [04:12] Bodsda: (mass USB storage) [04:12] Anyone else find that crashes all the time? [04:12] alright how do i get that then.... [04:12] Jburrke: sda1 not hda1 [04:12] etheredge, that would be the problem then [04:12] can anyone help me with a partitioning problem? [04:12] argh sorry i thought i had it [04:12] HI all [04:12] fde, ok, so why its a *special* drive and why it wont mount is a new problem ;~) [04:12] perhaps i instlaled livedvdread3 [04:12] fde: oh, duh.. what was the command again? [04:13] !paste [04:13] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:13] Bodsda: No, the internal should be sda1... external is fine, he's booted to it to run Ubuntu. [04:13] neither of those are shoring up [04:13] showing* [04:13] Jburrke: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' [04:13] anyone knows how to power on PC via any application === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [04:13] fde, ok, i still need to see fdisk to be sure ;~) otherwise the mount shoud have worked [04:13] www.medibuntu.org etheredge and follow the instructions carefully [04:13] fde: okay, i did it but nothing happened lol [04:13] Bodsda: nah, I told him hda1 by mistake... [04:14] Nikunj93: you can use a magic packet tool if your NIC supports WOL (wake on lan) [04:14] fde, so whats his problem? [04:14] Jburrke: cd /mnt & ls ... stuff there? [04:14] Nikunj93, that is not possible unless it is sleeping [04:14] Bodsda: None now. [04:14] Nikunj93: or the bios of your system night support a wake up time [04:14] fde, oh, il shut up then ;~) [04:14] bazhang: i can make it sleep [04:14] bazhang: it certainly is possible with wake on lan [04:14] fde: yes.. a few things [04:14] anyone good with iptables? [04:14] nullboy: i checked my bios power managment system what option to choose there [04:14] ? [04:15] gpled: try #iptables or man ufw [04:15] Nikunj93, the follow nullboy 's instructions [04:15] gpled, no - but I'm experienced and bored [04:15] fde: i'll be right back.. have to wash the dishes [04:15] guys, how do i bring up usplash-switcher? I don't see in applications menu. [04:15] fde: thanks for all the help, if you're not here when i get back..

[04:15] http://pastebin.com/dda1b6df [04:15] Nikunj93: if the bios supports it, it will be listed somewhere as "automatic power on" or "scheduled power on" (something to that effect) [04:15] not sure if that is correct [04:15] i messed up my partitioning big time, can anyone help me sort it out? [04:15] bazhang: how to check whether my lan card support WOL [04:15] Bodsda: Why did you recommend '_sudo_ apt-get source tracker'? [04:16] Nikunj93: but if your NIC supports wake on lan you can enable that in the bios or the NIC's bios and use a magic packet tool to turn the system on [04:16] Nikunj93: look up the NIC specs [04:16] nullboy: my bios has something like alarm is it the thing? [04:16] does ubuntu have a built in firewall or do i need to get one? [04:16] has one cute_bettong [04:16] Bodsda: When he gets back, do me a favor and ensure it looks like a Windows partition? (just have him paste ls /mnt or something, and see if it looks right) ... he's not particularly technical, so I'm trying to do the thinking for him :) [04:16] Nikunj93: it may be, but look up the motherboard manual and or nic specs to be sure [04:16] gpled, way beyond me [04:16] sorry [04:16] Bodsda: I'm going in search of food. [04:16] bullgard1, dunno ,. lol,. i use sudo for all apt things -- but you would need it if you were in / [04:16] but I'm provoked to learnign more about iptables [04:16] How to check, in terminal, what hardware I have [04:17] nullboy: i dunno what motherboard or NIC i have so how to check the specs? [04:17] fde, kk, no probs [04:17] Finnish: sudo lshw [04:17] Nikunj93: you start by figuring out which hardware you have ;) [04:17] fde, I installed starup-manager, but I don't know how to bring it up. [04:17] bazhang: well one of my roomates is screwing around with the house network and is port scanning my computer and yakking that one of the ports responds 3127 on udp how do i make my computer not respond to pings so he will shut the heck up? [04:17] hi room! has any1 here experienced the "ata1.01: qc timeout" error that causes the desktop to freeze for a few seconds?

[04:17] !firestarter | cute_bettong [04:17] cute_bettong: 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). [04:18] is it possible for someone to help me out with partitioning? [04:18] StevenX: dpkg -L startup-manager | grep bin ... one of those :P I'm leaving for a bit though.

[05:19] mine is about 30 [05:19] Marfi: Audacity? [05:19] RaWkuSs, no forgiveness? maybe you should do the google as well [05:19] Not for a desktop [05:19] MikeCulver, looking for something more powerful [05:19] Marfi: How so? [05:20] MikeCulver, audacity always seemed not to have many features [05:20] hola, alguien que hable español que pueda ayudarme con el sonido [05:20] damian__: 62 degrees is hot [05:21] kelvin911: my laptop ran at 82f before cooling [05:21] Navop: wget wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ispconfig/ISPConfig-2.2.23.tar.gz?download [05:21] damian__: only my laptop can get that hiot [05:21] Then you won't like a macbook pro [05:21] nadie que hable español? [05:21] Marfi: True. It has the basics though. I don't know about other multi-channel editors. You should probably ask in Ubuntu-offtopic though. [05:21] damian__: u mean celcius right? [05:21] I can't get sound to play in flash. It works fine everywhere else. [05:22] MikeCulver, kk, ty =) [05:22] when overlocking the processors heatup depending on your bios [05:22] i found out what it is, finally after 3 days , if anyone is interested https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/80900 [05:22] Launchpad bug 80900 in avahi "problems resolving fully qualified domain names on Kubuntu feisty" [Medium,Confirmed] [05:23] kelvin911: no my friend fahrenheit [05:23] rahul_kumar: i found out what it is, its a conflict with avahi-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/80900 [05:23] damian__: u must be american [05:24] chetnick:thanks..sorry for conf u [05:24] Quarter pound burgers [05:24] damian__: only dumb american uses fuhrenheit or miles [05:24] damian__: most BIOS's report temp in C. Even American releases [05:24] in America most people use C for computer temps :-) [05:24] kelvin911, ok bro, you're up [05:24] I use conversion [05:24] sue me [05:25] 62f is very cool [05:25] and actually, 62f is abnormally cool [05:25] why cant u uses standard so everybody know what u r talking about? [05:25] average room temp is 70-75f [05:25] MikeCulver: thks mike [05:25] kelvin911: he can do conversions, and so can you :) [05:25] kelvin911 says damian__: only dumb american uses fuhrenheit or miles [05:25] why is swiftweasel slow on scrolling in some sites? It is happening the same thing in firefox too. I'm using hardy, what should I do to fix this? [05:26] is having a separate home partition from the root easy toconfigure? [05:26] whenever I run a sudo command, I get the message "sudo: unable to resolve host ninja" ninja is the hostname of this computer [05:26] and can it be done from an already made partition? [05:26] the command seems to run fine however [05:26] damian__: no prob. I get the feeling that if your temp reads 62f then you are getting a bad reading or a reading from something that isn't under thermal load. [05:27] damian__: where is this reading coming from? [05:27] MikeCulver: you may be right, overclocking is experimental for me. === benzs_s is now known as benzss [05:27] peepsalot: what type of command are you trying to do? [05:27] liquid cool couldnt get that cold? [05:27] what is 62f? [05:27] moobyseviltwin: unless you're refridgerating the liquid, no. [05:27] i know 100f = 37 degrees [05:28] J-_, any command that involves sudo. i usually use it for apt-get/aptitude commands, but it happens for any sudo command [05:28] 62f... i have a graphing calc that can do it.. [05:28] just a sec [05:28] so 62f = 24 degrees? [05:28] kelvin911, how is this relevant to ubuntu [05:28] peepsalot, probably because you dont have an entry in /etc/hosts like this 127.0.0.1 ninja [05:28] qalculator can also do conversion but i am too lazy to do it [05:29] 62f = 16.667c [05:29] peepsalot, use a tab after 127.0.0.1 [05:29] MikeCulver: That's right, we started about the systems we were running [05:29] bazhang: we were talking about overclocking the ubuntu [05:29] MikeCulver, kelvin911 please take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [05:29] what about 0f ? [05:29] is 0f = 0 degrees? [05:29] kelvin911: that's not part of the issue [05:29] kelvin911: 32f [05:29] Kelvin911: we were taking about gaming [05:29] jtisme, ok, i will try that. I wonder why it wasn't a problem in gutsy [05:29] damian__: what is the problem we're trying to address? [05:30] peepsalot: okay. I can't really help you then, sorry. =) I was figuring you were trying to sudo a program with a GTK/QT interface. In other words, you'd have to gksu the program. :) [05:30] we were tallking about doom3 not working in hardy [05:30] it runs fine in gutsy [05:30] MikeCulver: it was small talk, nothing more [05:30] peepsalot, may need to be 127.0.1.1 ninja I have both 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.1.1 mynodename [05:30] Not to offend anyone [05:30] damian__: oh.. sorry if i blew it out of perportion. i thought it was part of the problem. [05:30] actually everything almost everything breaks in hardy thats what i am talking about [05:30] How can I turn off compiz without running GDM (logging in)? [05:30] How can I turn off compiz without running GDM (logging in)? [05:31] jtisme, 127.0.0.1 worked [05:31] sorry :S [05:31] what would be the command line command to see your hard drives? [05:31] eboyjr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] peepsalot, good [05:31] kelvin911: speaking of stuff breaking in hardy, I can't get sound to work in flash [05:31] hehm... problems everywhere [05:31] MikeCulver: did u have an app using the sound at the same time? [05:31] kelvin911: strangely enough, I can't even get the windows standalone flash player to play audio under wine [05:31] eboyjr, don't be so in hurry, just use one of the consoles then you can turn off compiz without logging with gdm [05:31] kelvin911: no.. [05:31] ?/server irc.icq.com 6666? [05:32] MikeCulver: i find that when i am playing music in rhymbox, i cant play audio in flash [05:32] MikeCulver: or vice versa [05:32] I still have the problem with slow scrolling in swiftweasel (firefox), anyone know how to solve this? [05:32] MikeCulver: have you tried installing libflashsupport? [05:32] MikeCulver: when i am playing a movie in mplayer, the movie in vlc has no sound [05:32] MikeCulver: Are you trying to get flash to work in your browser or the program? [05:32] legend2440, is the one in repo the fixed one? [05:32] very strange [05:32] legend2440: it's not a matter of lack of playback support [05:32] pen: Consoles? Like Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] ? [05:32] eboyjr, yes [05:33] Hey guys, does GTK have an applications similar to Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer and mspaint? [05:33] eboyjr, you can do that in the logging screen [05:33] damian__: I tried the linux flash player in firefox, as well as the standalone windows flash player under wine. same result [05:33] i thnk it didnt happen in gutsy [05:33] or even boot up screen I think [05:33] but I can play audio in totem.. [05:33] I am having a similar/same issue with sound. I can't get things like youtube to play [05:33] Catcheeto_away: which browser u use? [05:33] fragged: do you mean Gnome? [05:33] whose got Xen working? which version do you have running as I can not even create initrd.img with 2.6.16 [05:33] MikeCulver: You need to download mp3, and flash updates in ubuntu thru the apps [05:33] Catcheeto_away: i am using opera9.27, flash sucks === Catcheeto_away is now known as Catcheeto [05:33] pen: So, I run... "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &" .. arent compiz settings for each user? [05:33] seaphor: you there/ [05:33] fragged: there is a picture viewer in gnome, yes. [05:33] ? [05:34] I am using FF [05:34] i LOVE firefox [05:34] ok thats it,,, i ve seen alot here that i didnt agree with based on my own ignorance and the fact that the mods are here to mod, but this is too much, and all bazhang has to say is whats goin on !!! kelvin911 step up and be recognized [05:34] MikeCulver, yeah, well I thought Gnome was the Window Manager / DE whereas GTK was what most applications were called (ie gtk based mplayer frontend) [05:34] i LOVE opera [05:34] lol [05:34] MikeCulver: under add/remove [05:34] SeaPhor, what is the issue [05:34] I had similar issue with Gutsy, ran through 6-7 sites to try a fix and never did. Now updated to Hardy and same issue. I am using USB headset though, so not sure where that might add extra issues [05:34] GTK stands for GIMP Toolkit [05:35] fragged: mostly correct. but yes, the apps bundled with gnome was what I was refering to. there's also f-spot photo manager. [05:35] I accidentally moved my /home/ben/Desktop to /home/ben/Desktop.bak but when I try to change it back it always regenerates as Desktop.bak, so then I have both Desktop and Desktop.bak [05:35] MikeCulver: type in plugin, or flash then search [05:35] bazhang, damian__: only dumb american uses fuhrenheit or miles [05:35] eboyjr, I am not sure. I am the only user on my laptop. I don't know much about compiz settings effects to users [05:35] Desktop.bak is always the actual desktop [05:35] SeaPhor: what? [05:35] damian__: I have flashplayer-nonfree already [05:35] why is swiftweasel slow on scrolling in some sites? It is happening the same thing in firefox too. I'm using hardy, what should I do to fix this? [05:35] eboyjr: what exactly are you trying to do? [05:35] pen: Okay, thanks for your help :) [05:35] MikeCulver, what about a tool for cropping images / basic modifications etc? GIMP is too complex for the basic things I want to do [05:35] SeaPhor, thanks did not see that; kelvin911 refrain from name calling in channel please [05:36] what? [05:36] f-spot does cropping [05:36] eboyjr, np [05:36] seaphor has someone on this channel insulted you?

[05:39] is having a separate home partition from the root easy toconfigure? [05:39] bazhang, i was talking to seaphor and his topic [05:39] Hello. Can someone tell me what the default links are in the rc#.d directories for rc.local? I was messing with mine, changed a couple of things, and didn't write the default down and I'd like to put it back if possible. [05:39] TaRDy: yes. Just do it in the installation dialog when setting up partitions. Easy as cake for me :) [05:39] I'd like to get the ubuntu boot messages to look like gentoo's or suse's...they are pretty (I'm talking the text boot). Does anyone have experience with doing anything similar? [05:39] jtisme, i am from Houston, Texas USA [05:39] I have an onboard soundcard (Realtek ALC888) and I can't figure out how to get it working properly with a certain program. When it works, the sound lags for a secound. When it doesn't, the sound doesnt lag, but the sound is choppy and static like. ANyone know what I could do? [05:40] Zaiden: what program? [05:40] I think it was linked in runlevels 2,3,4,5 at priority 99 (run last) but don't remember the K and S of the links. :( [05:40] do people in US really uses fehrenheuit? [05:40] kelvin911: yes [05:40] SeaPhor, i doubt that, end of conversation!!! [05:40] tgelter remove quiet and splash from your kernel boot line in /boot/grub/menu.list [05:40] Second Life. [05:40] MikeCulver, would i do one partion mounted at / and the other /home/tardy (for usr tardy) [05:40] Greetz all! [05:40] Kelvin911: Most people do [05:40] that will show all text -- same as hitting ctrl-alt-f1 during boot [05:41] TaRDy: When I did it, the most complex I got was assigning a separate /home. I believe that would be the /home for all users. [05:41] bennna: yeah, I've done that, I'm wanting to make the text boot colorful [05:41] TaRDy: but of course each user had a folder inside that [05:41] jtisme, i am in a suburb, called Richmond [05:41] does anyone know how to set what dir nautilus thinks is $HOME/Desktop? [05:41] tgelter -- can [05:41] TaRDy: so yes, you would end up with /home/tardy or what have you. [05:41] 'cant help you there sry [05:41] bennna: huh?

It is happening the same thing in firefox too. I'm using hardy, what should I do to fix this? [05:42] bennna: How do I set it? [05:42] Zaiden: I know I had issues with SL audio. I found several people had as well. Not sure of any details sadly as the graphic card in this PC is crappy and can't keep up [05:42] does somebody have the code to create 2d (mathematic) graphics, like plot, in c++? [05:43] TaRDy: good luck there. I upgraded my 7.10 to 8.04. it had a similar config. no problems so far. [05:43] man gconftool gives the options, I forget exactly [05:43] bennna: Thanks [05:43] jtisme, on the border of rosenberg,,, i assure you, i grew up in Ft.

[05:58] bazhang, thanks, I am considering seeing if a triple boot could occure [05:58] 1,265 members?! [05:58] hroi: What I did was download the kernel headers.. and module source for HDAPSD [05:58] MikeCulver, but I love the purity and speed of Slackware... [05:58] TaRDy, with solaris? [05:58] MikeCulver, yup... I think I know what you did, so you compiled a new kearnel with a patch for this driver [05:58] bazhang, correct, ubuntu 8.04, opensolaris 2008.05 and vista [05:59] hroi: then I compiled it all together following some arcade web recipe.. and I ended up with a new kernel.. and the kernel logs on boot talking about HDAPS and inital reading and the like. [05:59] bazhang, if triple booting even is possible [05:59] hroi: yes.. that sounds about like what the instructions said.

[06:05] how can i optimize the startup of ubuntu to make it start faster? [06:05] adred, not the same; it is broken down into several components [06:05] adred, i dont know about those ones, but from what i know kde has a control centre. gnome doesnt (not in the same way atleast [06:05] I'm a noob. I installed ubuntu 8.04 to my thinkpad's harddrive. When it goes to grub and I choose ubuntu, it gives me "error 21: device not found" I edit the command line and have it choose hd0, and not hd1, and it boots. How do I make this change permanent? [06:06] Thanatos___, you have to adjust it in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file [06:06] I just notices something weird... I cannot change my password ! [06:06] im having a problem keeping ubuntu working, i had it set up to dual boot (twice) with XP, but if i let my computer idle on ubuntu over night, i wake up to a black screen, and ubuntu will no longer load [06:06] is handbrake for ubuntu? [06:06] adred, if you want the same interface you had on kde, you should try kubuntu [06:06] the command just gets stuck [06:07] adred there is a control center app you can get.. but things are all accessible from the system admin (for global settings) and system preferences (for per-user settings) [06:07] when u r playing mp3, can u watch youtube with sound? [06:07] MikeCulver, gconfeditor? [06:07] jtisme: 7.10, I went to 8.10 but it totally broke Sun Java (I'm on a VM machine, so I rolled back to 7.10) [06:07] kelvin911: i can, yes.. pulseaudio seems to solve things [06:07] etheredge: #handbrake may be of more help [06:07] devilsadvocate: no.. another one.. [06:08] anyone know where the config file is for gnome-main-menu is located under gnome 2.22? was previously in .icons [06:08] kelvin911, is that a question or a comment? [06:08] I installed 8.04 [06:08] devilsadvocate: linuxmint has and it uses gnome. bazhang says ubuntu doesnt have.. thanks! :) [06:08] question [06:08] devilsadvocate: I think it's was just called control center.. I'll hunt in synaptic for it [06:08] jtisme: speciffically, it broke JAVA_HOME [06:08] because i cant [06:08] oh, yea [06:08] adred: gnome-control-center in terminal [06:08] LinuxTryer, ok just wondered thanks [06:08] and you can adjust the volume on the youtube applet too [06:08] Hwy the hell the eject button od the dvdrom dont work i always has to unmount? [06:08] Thanks ackstorm, I think i'm almost all the way to resolving this issue. What is the default text editor program, similar to edit in DOS? I think I will need to change permissions, so use sudo? [06:08] adred, you can add the mint one or something similar if you wish but it is not recommended nor supported [06:09] ackstorm: when i am playng sound in some other app, youtube has no sound and vice versa [06:09] hrm no way to get k9copy to work huh [06:09] cvd-pr: because sudden disconnection of a mounted filesystem can cause problems. unmounting is safer. [06:09] Thanatos___, nano is a simple editor, but when you want be really l33t learn vi [06:10] Thanatos___: gksudo gedit /bbot/grub/menu.lst [06:10] hey how do delete /etc/network/interfaces and make a new one via terminal? [06:10] a dvdrom is a filesystem? [06:10] Thanatos___: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:10] anyone know where the config file is for gnome-main-menu is located under gnome 2.22? was previously in .icons [06:10] kelvin911, working for me, I'm not sure why your sound wouldn't be mixing.. are you using kde or gnome? [06:10] gnome [06:10] bazhang, devilsadvocate & and all: alright..thanks for the tip.:) [06:10] cvd-pr: an data storage device usually has a filesystem on it. and a dvd is such a type of media which has a filesystem on it. [06:10] thanks legend, i'm trying that now [06:10] after upgrading to hardy i cant have more than 1 app using the sound [06:11] !filesystem | cvd-pr [06:11] cvd-pr: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [06:11] kelvin911: try pulseaudio [06:11] i used to webcaming and watch youtube and even playing mp3 at the same time in gutsy [06:11] kelvin, some people have fixed that by turning off integrated sound inside their bios [06:11] ehh, if you like the graphical way out [06:11] i dont think that is the right solution tho [06:12] stevemcc: how does that fix the matter? then we'd have no sound unless we have a separate device. [06:12] what is pulseaudio? [06:12] do i need tio install that? [06:12] Hello, I'm trying to redirect kernel output from tty1 to tty7. I set in grub to have console=tty7 and it's working, but there are still two lines that show up on tty1 on boot. the [06:12] damian__: only dumb american uses fuhrenheit or miles [06:12] kelvin911, it should be installed already [06:12] [sda] assuming drive cache: write through part [06:12] kelvin911: pulseaudio is selectable in the sound preferences... it's pre-installed for me. [06:12] im having a problem keeping ubuntu(8.04) working, i had it set up to dual boot (twice) with XP, but if i let my computer idle on ubuntu over night, i wake up to a black screen, and ubuntu will no longer load [06:12] and piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: Host SMBus Controller not enabled part [06:13] mike: thats exactly why i said i figured its the wrong fix. with some the card can be detected anyway [06:13] How would I go about sharing an HP Deskjet 1455 on a Windows Network? [06:13] otherwise all other parts show up on tt7 [06:13] ArrowLance: what state is the system left in? [06:13] dont know why the mp3 song is skipping now [06:13] Anyone know how to redirect those 2 last kernel messages to another tty? [06:13] ArrowLance, try hitting Alt-s [06:13] a black screen [06:14] askstorm, i've been trying to edit the file specified, but it seems to be empty, or doesn't exist [06:14] im guessing my file issues has to do with me havting to turn off hard [06:14] I can't change my passwd, any idea why ? [06:14] ArrowLance: I meant, what things was the system doing when you left it functioning properly? [06:14] nothing [06:14] just idleing [06:14] i fell asleep [06:14] I have a server with two 2 ide devices (harddrive, atapi cdrom). Ubuntu 8.04 and 7.10 both have locked up when installing the scsi driver over the attached CD-Rom device. Any boot command to ignore this device? [06:14] legend2440, i copied and pasted your command and gedit stopped responding and had to be force quit [06:14] Thanatos___, it might be /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:15] ArrowLance: are you saying the system won't boot up again when powered-on? or has the system gone into suspend but won't come out? [06:15] when i select ubuntu, i get error 15 stating the menu.lst can't be found. When i check on the files in windows, they are no longer there [06:15] Anyone know how to redirect kernel messages to another tty? [06:16] Gestapospank: found out if the scsi device is builtin or not, if it's a moduleyou can blacklist it [06:16] ArrowLance: wow... that isn't normal at all. Are Windows and Ubuntu on the same hard drive? [06:16] Gestapospank: s/scsi device/scsi driver/ [06:16] yes [06:16] why no more than 1 application can play the sound? [06:16] Thanatos___: you could try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst if gedit isn't working [06:16] ArrowLance: how are you getting it to boot into windows? [06:16] is it hardy bugs? [06:16] This is on install, I don't have ubuntu installed yet to blacklist the driver === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [06:17] kelvin911: by default only one app can access an OSS sound device [06:17] ArrowLance, is this the first time you rebooted? [06:17] im dual booting, i just have to select which OS to use when i boot up [06:17] no [06:17] kelvin911: afaik if you use alsa for sound more can be done [06:17] in nano, do I save by "writeout"? [06:17] kelvin911: but then you have to enable software mixing [06:17] i use alsa [06:17] kelvin911: or your soundcard should support it in hw [06:17] Thanatos___: yes [06:17] ArrowLance: if menu.lst isn't found, then I'm kinda confused... [06:17] in gutsy i can have more than 1 app uses the sound [06:17] kelvin911, make sure mixer kernel module is loaded [06:17] ArrowLance, so it comes till the grub menu, lets you pick, and you get error 15 when you select ubuntu? [06:17] devilsadvocate: is it possible he has two grubs? [06:17] yes [06:18] kelvin911: this is th reason most desktop environments use an audio manager (pulse, artsd, ...) [06:18] ackstorm: how? [06:18] actually, im checking and none of the ubuntu file are there [06:18] kelvin911, pm my copy of lsmod [06:18] but it works in gutsy b4 [06:18] thanks to both legend2440 and ackstorm! [06:18] MikeCulver, ArrowLance , im not entirely certain but it definitely sounds that way [06:18] ArrowLance, you wont be able to see the ubuntu files from windows unless you have etx2fs [06:19] ArrowLance: it sounds like you might have two copies of grub installed.. probably from both attempts at install [06:19] ah ok, but i checked once and it said the ubuntu file was 6 gb [06:19] now its like 1.5 [06:19] ArrowLance: that's possible. You could just be seeing the swap or maybe just the home [06:19] well the same problem happened last time i installed [06:19] http://www.pastebin.ca/1016642 [06:20] ArrowLance: Windows isn't very good at seeing filesystems it doesn't know how to read. [06:20] umm, ArrowLance , where are you seeing this 1.5 gb and 5 gb? how did you install ubuntu [06:20] ArrowLance, wubi? [06:20] i used wubi [06:20] ArrowLance: Part of the boot process for Ubuntu involves a UUID for root being sent to the kernel.. That UUID being sent may be the wrong one if you have two grubs [06:20] Please help me... I put a DVD into my DVD rom and it trys to play the movie in Totem movie player and it tells me .. An error has occured... You might not have permission to open the file.... What should I do or what program should I use to play a DVD? Thank you [06:21] hi .. how do i register a nickname on irc ? [06:21] ArrowLance, ah [06:21] if i reinstall it will work again [06:21] vego [06:21] !register | Vegombrei [06:21] Vegombrei: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [06:21] nvm [06:21] ArrowLance, the ubuntu file shrunk from 6 gb to 1.5 gb? [06:21] Vegombrei: /msg nickserv register (pass) (email) [06:21] ArrowLance, try installing from the boot CD for best resules [06:21] yes, after the problem [06:21] friedtofu_: the email isn't part of it [06:21] !dvd | LaneLimited [06:21] LaneLimited: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:21] Question: If I lock my session, will the thing Im downloading via WGET keep downloading all night? Or will it not download because I "Locked" the session? [06:22] ArrowLance, then there is a good chance youve lost data. i dont know how it could have happened though [06:22] Stamestommy: oh. meh - it is on some servers [06:22] ok, its annoy because now i have to go hook up to a hard wired internet to reinstall my wireless drivers [06:22] Mimi, not unless it suspends or hibernates [06:22] well i did have to poweroff in an unorderly fashion devil [06:22] devilsadvocate: how should he clean out his other grubs? or will the install handle that? [06:22] ackstorm, cool, thanks a lot =) [06:22] Good night! [06:22] ackstorm: http://www.pastebin.ca/1016642 [06:23] MikeCulver, it might not be different grubs. imnot entirely familiar with the wubi way of things [06:23] ArrowLance: devilsadvocate: It's also possible that an EISA partition and BIOS masking of such would cause problems with loading GRUB [06:23] would me using a cd image work better? [06:23] ArrowLance: significantly [06:24] friedtofu_: how do i know when its done ? [06:24] bazhang: why did you boot Seaphor as why he got booted but not somone who insulted an Entire Country? [06:24] i read somwhere on the forums that it has problems with handling poweroffs like i did, might that be the problem? [06:24] MikeCulver, ArrowLance i think what happened is that th main grub points to some sort of grub inside the ubuntu ´partitiion´ which is basically a file on windows partition that is loopmounted. ArrowLance i _think_ reinstalling should fix the problem. i would suggest you also ask on a wibu support channel (is there a #wubi?) [06:24] cyntek, you may PM me if you wish [06:24] ArrowLance, its possible [06:24] ArrowLance: I have encountered one power-off problem with Ubuntu, but it's never caused a problem like that. [06:25] ArrowLance: that's not to say it's impossible, just highly unlikely [06:25] Vegombrei: all the information you need should be in your status window - the one with the server and such... afterwards you just do "/msg nickserv identify (password)" or you can set it up in your IRC client to do it automatically [06:25] is this a dual boot issue y'all are discussing [06:25] well, eitherway, both times i installed the same problem occured [06:25] MikeCulver, he does not have a traditional ubuntu install [06:25] jim_beam: yes sit [06:25] *sir [06:25] so i dont think it is an issue with grub [06:25] yes sir [06:25] :) [06:25] I thought I was banned [06:26] Vegombrei: well. if "/msg nickserv ..." doesnt work try "/nickserv ..." [06:26] ot try /ns [06:26] usually /ns works too [06:26] ArrowLance, you could reinstall, but if its happened twice it will happen again [06:26] how do i pm? [06:26] thats why im hesitant to do so [06:26] click on my name cyntek [06:27] i did [06:27] Wubi is used to dualboot? I thought it was used to install Ubuntu on top of Windows. Or, provide a simple installation/ transition between both. [06:27] ArrowLance: just don't use wubi this time. try it pure from CD [06:27] id like to figure out the problem and avoid it if possible before i reinstall [06:27] ArrowLance: alternate if you're really paranoid [06:27] your not there [06:27] ArrowLance, if youve got an empty partition lying around i suggest a normal ubuntu install [06:28] ArrowLance, that is probably much more tolerant to unclean shutdowns and stuff [06:28] devilsadvocate: and gparted can resize an NTFS part for you. just remember to cross all your fingers and toes [06:28] J-_ apparently wubi installs Ubuntu as an Image file on the Windows partition and sets up the boot menu for the comptuer to boot into linux (but this is just from reading articles) [06:28] would anyone know where shutdown errors are stored [06:28] MikeCulver, :) [06:28] how can i set up another partition, if i can [06:28] cyntek, check for a PM [06:29] if you set up a crontab command to > toThisFile, where would it drop the file? [06:29] !dualboot | ArrowLance [06:29] ArrowLance: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:29] ArrowLance: might be easier just to do it without wubi no? [06:29] ya [06:29] ArrowLance: hi [06:29] Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg ) [06:30] I'm trying to find an app to display keystrokes in my screencasts. Something similar to KeyCastr on OS X. I found Key Status Monitor but couldn't get it running on Hardy. Can anyone recommend alternatives? [06:31] if you set up a crontab command to > toThisFile, where would it drop the file? [06:31] hi ..how do i set irssi to auto connect to this server with my nick as default ? [06:31] ArrowLance, isn't that what I said? no? =P [06:31] lol [06:31] how do i know if i am using alsa or pulseaudio? [06:31] i dont think i have any black cds [06:31] kelvin911, pulseaudio should work with alsa [06:31] blank [06:31] ArrowLance, the general overview is to first defrag the partition you want to resize, then reboot using the live cd, use gparted to resize the partiotion (i suggest atleast 10 gb, but ive used 6gb without any problem before) and then install as usual [06:31] kelvin911: i believe you'll be using pulseaudio if you're in 8.04, in 7.10 it should be alsa [06:31] ArrowLance: do you have a spare computer on your network? [06:32] yes [06:32] ArrowLance, well, if you are feeling brave you dont need a blank cd. [06:32] but when i am playing mp3, i cant have sound in other applications [06:32] ArrowLance: you could set up a server to do RPL or PXE and load the setup that way [06:32] probably pulseaudio? :/ [06:32] I've never used wubi before. And, I can say that dualbooting following the correct tutorial. It went pretty well when I first started using Ubuntu, ArrowLance. I don't dualboot now though. [06:32] how to switch back to gutsy setting? [06:32] kelvin911, what client are you using? [06:32] ArrowLance, get the alternate install cd and use that. its much easier [06:32] J-_ meh too. i triple boot. haha. [06:32] and the mp3 playback has poping sound now [06:33] ArrowLance: listen to devilsadvocate.. [06:33] ackstorm: what do u mean what client? [06:33] what music player [06:33] ArrowLance, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows : CD ISO approach [06:33] vlc or rhythmbox [06:33] heh [06:33] hi ..how do i set irssi to auto connect to this server with my nick as default ? [06:33] nither work? hmm [06:33] in vlc, the mp3 song is skipping and poping [06:33] ArrowLance: there's also install from a flash drive [06:33] in rhythmbox the sound is nice [06:33] what are they newest for ubuntu ? [06:33] !install [06:33] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[06:34] ArrowLance, just make sure you defrag the partition you are going to resize first. itĺl make the resizing later signifincalty safer [06:34] but when i am playing mp3 in either player, i cant have sound in youtube or in games [06:34] I'm trying to build virtualbox from source, after running configure, I sourced the env.sh file, and ran kmk...do I still need to make and make install after kmk, or does that perform some of those steps? [06:34] What is the right way to get audio working in DosBox in hardy? [06:34] or if i am watch youtube, the player doesnt have sound [06:34] ArrowLance: repeated defragging can help and my be necessary. but free up as much space as you can before defrag [06:35] kelvin911: system>preferences>sound>music and movies select alsa [06:36] if you set up a crontab command to > toThisFile, where would it drop the file? I've even tired specifying a full path but it doesn't seem to be outputting the file [06:36] i close vlc but the mp3 still keep plauying [06:36] hwo to stop that? [06:36] kelvin911: killall vlc possibly. I've never used vlc before though. [06:37] vlc is killed [06:37] i love vlc. be nice to it! [06:37] wait [06:37] so in sound i dont use auto detect? [06:37] pick alsa?

People said that yellow dog worked well [06:41] or computer? [06:41] because this didnt solve my sound problem [06:41] Neo_The_User: I would guess it's something specific necessary to support the system that's missing.

[07:21] arooni, even now? [07:21] can i just copy the data back from the ext3 formated system to the xfs system, just change the bootloader? [07:21] ok. i'll deal with not having a second monitor... still... i'd like to have my games folder seperate from other. any idea how to get it back? [07:21] xen_: If modprobe works... just throw it into /etc/modules and you should be all set. [07:21] dabbill, dont think so i think its now somewhere else,. 1 sec [07:22] xen_: (just the module on a new line...) [07:22] devilsadvocate, even now :( [07:22] maybe i format the new array to xfs and build the os new [07:22] konbon, open up appearancse and then install themes and go to where you save them [07:22] ok im trying to download a software and its asking me to put the cd in, so i put it in, ubuntu sees the cd it even makes a shortcut on my desktop "ubuntu 7.10 i386" but when i press ok that the cd is inserted it doesnt do anything.. whats wrong? [07:22] arooni, pastebin the error [07:22] xen_: Once loaded, you should be able to configure it via NetworkManager in the panel.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:38] braille displays are expensive.. [07:38] so it makes little bumps on the screen? [07:38] pwnguin: Did you already install ubuntu-restricted-extras? If so, remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin first... then sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin. [07:38] lol [07:38] Thanks again all - later! [07:38] bye [07:39] ScreaminIk1: sure... via screenshots or what? [07:39] Interesting...I log on for help and the place is being spammed [07:39] braille displays are a kind of board with dots that are mechanically raised or lowered.. making it possible for a windowing system to be represented to a blind person. [07:39] Basically like a matrix of wired that can be pushed up and down.. really low-res though and usually just one line [07:39] Phanto1: Ask your question please, rather than adding to the noise :) [07:39] zcat[1]: newer ones can represent a full screen [07:39] fde, already did that, but this install dates back quite a long ways [07:39] i know that mike but how the heck would you make braille on a regular computer? [07:39] fde: i was wondering what the alternatives name was for it [07:40] yikes.. that would cost... [07:40] looks like my locale isn't being set properly: http://pastie.caboo.se/195926 ... on ubuntu hardy... any ideas on how to fix?

[07:40] Funny you're talking about this, 'cause my highschool invention team was producing a graphing calculator for the blind [07:40] i accept shell commands ;) [07:40] tmapj: you need special hardware for it.. [07:40] ok [07:40] I was thinking about fitting a small braille display into a mouse and making a 'virtual fullscreen' display... never got too far with it though [07:40] give me a moment please [07:40] ScreaminIk1: does it still exist for a new user? [07:41] new users get it [07:41] just not me [07:41] anyone here that can help me with a boot issue i am having [07:41] 'cos with a fullscreen display, the only part that matters is what's under a fingertip at any point in time..

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:42] fde: something id never guess in a million years [07:42] oh thats cook [07:42] zcat[1]: that would be difficult to interpret.. especially if the mouse tracked in the slightest way poorly [07:42] cool [07:42] pwnguin: Currently, all plugins go into /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins rather than /usr/lib/firefox like they always did. [07:42] I am having trouble in two different ares and was wondering if I could get assistance. First, I can not get ubuntu to connect to our router. [07:42] i am not able to make avant window navigator to stay behind the open window. plz help......

Have installed tetex; however, vim won't compile my code. No errors, nothing; just doesn't do anything when i run make. What is goin on? [07:42] MikeCulver: might work better with a tablet perhaps.. [07:42] what version of FF does hardy have? [07:42] looks like my locale isn't being set properly: http://pastie.caboo.se/195926 ... on ubuntu hardy... any ideas on how to fix? [07:42] pwnguin: haha, seriously... I just dpkg -L sun-java6-plugin though, because it put the plugin there ;) [07:42] when i try loading Ubuntu i get grub loading and it never does or i get /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off [07:43] It keep asking me over and over for the WEP key, and I keep entering it exactly as it shows on the router's configuration page [07:43] can anyone tell me what the beagle search daemon is?

[07:43] but anyhow.. verne doesn't know braille so wasn't really interested :) [07:43] franzrebs, search google for 'pastebin' andusea different site [07:43] Hi...! [07:43] pwnguin: Most things on a Linux box aren't entirely intuitive... I'd be lost if I didn't know the package tools so well :) === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [07:43] hello [07:43]  i am not able to make avant window navigator to stay behind the open window. plz help...... [07:44] okay [07:44] ScreaminIk1, synaptic search 'games' makesurethetwo either side of gnome-gamesare installed [07:44] how can i disable directory index in apache on ubuntu ? [07:44] fde: im not exactly a novice, but i cant say i know all the dpkg options [07:44]  i am not able to make avant window navigator to stay behind the open window. plz help...... [07:44] ok, screen - I just pressed ctrl-a but I didn't want to... how do I cancel 'ctrl-a mode? [07:44] can anyone tell me what the beagle search daemon is? [07:44] It connects to our neighbor's router just fine, but the difference between ours and theirs is that theirs is not secure >_< [07:44] the page has loaded. what should i choose as syntax, just plain text? [07:45] yeah [07:45] !alsa [07:45] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:45] napster u checked all options n preferences section?

[07:45] yes [07:45] tmapj: http://beagle-project.org/Main_Page although why it's installed on your box is beyond me if you didn't install it first. [07:45] Seveas around? [07:45] jgoo__: screen -d -r [07:45] WHY did they choose ctrl-a when ctrl-a is used ALL THE TIME [07:45] might be an option box for that issue.napster [07:45] serif: yes i have. but they r not working as desired [07:46] pwnguin, ok... I am in ctrl-a mode... do I just type that? screen -d -r? [07:46] what? [07:46] ares=napster but better [07:46] and free'er [07:46] jgoo__: you arne't detached yet then [07:46] pwnguin, I hit ctrl-a... I don't want to detach... [07:46] Bodsda here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/11808/ [07:46] sudo apt-get install awn awn-manager n other needed dependencies [07:46] jgoo: so hit escape [07:46] Aaaaah :)) [07:46] re install with command [07:46] thanks [07:46] jgoo: or control-a ? [07:47] jgoo__: I usually just press it three more times so that it toggles to the previous screen, then back [07:47] This is my mom's laptop, and I am trying to get it all set up for her, and this is keeping me from getting it configured right [07:47] pwnguin, gah! now it is in copy mode... fffffff [07:47] Escape doesn't work; it enters copy mode [07:47] could anyone tell me what PulseAudio session management is? [07:47] franzrebs, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [07:47] crdlb, ok, how to get out of copy mode? :p damn pwnguin - I trusted you! ;-) [07:47] serif: it's avant-window-navigator , not awn... awn-manager works though. [07:47] shoot [07:47] jgoo: just hit escape again [07:48] we do not want to be connecting to the neighbor's connection [07:48] i know enough of screen to change screens and start new ones ;) [07:48] What happened to ubuntu-nl.org [07:48] so, what should I do? [07:48] fde ,awn i think its abbrev [07:48] serif: If you install awn-manager ... it depends avant-window-navigator, probably easier to remember just one :) [07:48] okay, done. what next? [07:48] Avant Window Nav [07:48] What happened to ubuntu-nl.org?????????? [07:48] Phanto1: maybe you could try another network manager - like wicd [07:49] wicd [07:49] serif: i already have awn manager [07:49] franzrebs, nothing -- go to /mnt innautilus andcopy filesover [07:49] was ubuntu-nl run by the ubotu guy? [07:49] Invisionfree: It's probably just down for maintanence.... [07:49] ok averted disaster. thanks crdlb and pwnguin . Question: I just apt-get iptables... and then added a route... surely I need to restart or something for this to work? [07:49] could anyone tell me what PulseAudio session management is? [07:49] yes napster checked its optons [07:49] Whatever happened to Seveas? [07:49] i'm quite new to linux... [07:49] tmapj: It is the sound server ... you want to keep it. [07:49] jgoo__: if you added the route, it's there. in fact, rebooting will probably delete it [07:49] oh okay, thank you! so much :) [07:49] thnx again fde [07:49] also, to anyone, how can I dinstinguish between all 4 of my screens? I'd like a different color bar or something... [07:49] Invisionfree, offtopic here [07:49] how do i unmount? [07:50] pwnguin, iptables is too cool [07:50] jgoo__: its a bit confusing [07:50] What happened to Seveas?? [07:50] franzrebs: umount /where/you/put/it ... or umount /dev/whatever ... both work [07:50] cool? [07:50] fde: how about tracker and tracker applet? [07:50] okay thanks [07:50] !repeat Invisionfree [07:50] fde: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:50] Invisionfree, please join #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [07:50] LOL I opened two xchats because I am such a multiscreen newb [07:50] !repeat | Invisionfree [07:50] Invisionfree: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[07:52] yes, im here [07:52] jussi01: Yay! PM please? [07:52] tmapj: Tracker was created because Beagle is written in C# ... it is C, and thus fits better with Gnome.

[08:10] fde, pulseaudio=problems what does pulseaudio do better? apart from screw up [08:10] any idea on how to get a HP P1005 printer to print properly? It won't work with the default drivers, and HPLIP manages to get one page out before hitting an error. Any ideas? [08:10] so what can i do? [08:11] lewwy, tell us what the error is [08:11] SDL = OpenGL and OpenAL amongst other things... there is no reason using a Pulse plugin for SDL wouldn't work with such a game... (that I know uses SDL) [08:11] Can someone who knows more than I do about GPG tell me why both gpg --list-{public,secret}-keys say I have two keys? [08:11] Bodsda, it gets stuck on processing, and then nothing [08:11] Bodsda: Lets more than one process access /dev/dsp ? [08:11] fde: can i install back libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio ? [08:11] sorry [08:11] kelvin911: install it. [08:11] fde: libsdl1.2debian-alsa [08:11] what? [08:12] sdl!=opengl [08:12] kelvin911: Remove that, and install the pulseaudio one. [08:12] fde, i suppose but its a pain to get working probperly,.,. i dont think it should be introduced untill it "works" so to speak [08:12] fde: but with libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio ET has no sound [08:12] fde: and also pulseaudio didnt solve my problem here [08:12] pwnguin: Umm, then just OpenAL... but I could have sworn it was both. [08:12] fde: i still got no sound when playing mp3 and youtube togehter [08:12] Bodsda: It's just a horrible implementation by default. [08:12] i'm not even gonna think about dualbooting my xp laptop with ubuntu anymore if it is this grouchy [08:13] kelvin911: I told you how to fix that... install libflashsupport!!! [08:13] fde: im not even sure its openal [08:13] fde, too true -- intrepid should only include it if its is integrated better [08:13] pwnguin: I am 100% sure it is OpenAL. [08:13] Bodsda: It will include it, and they better integrate it better. [08:13] ;~)amen [08:13] hi [08:13] anyway ,. school calls -- c u guys in a few hours [08:14] Phanto1: Who is grouchy? [08:14] WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! [08:14] aRMX, dont worry bout that [08:14] aRMX_: What archive? [08:14] everytime i try to install something the folloing error comes out [08:14] oh [08:14] worry bout that [08:14] every single application give the same message. [08:14] owh ok.. [08:14] but what's that means? [08:15] any takers on my p1005 issue? [08:15] fde: thanks [08:15] aRMX_: Please answer me, what archive? If you can tell me, I can fix it for you. [08:15] aRMX, means you dont have the certificate i think [08:15] fde, he did answer you -- all of them [08:15] fde: but how to make the sound work if i want to play mp3 and play games? [08:15] apt-get dist-upgrade give the error messages [08:15] aRMX_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-keyring [08:15] and every i try to apt-get something [08:16] kelvin911: It should be working with libsdl1.2-debian-pulseaudio ... [08:16] aRMX_: We understand the issue, check to see if ubuntu-keyring is installed please. [08:16] its enemy territory [08:16] i'm on ubuntu 7.10 [08:17] kelvin911: Yes... you said that. [08:17] if i install pulseaudio et has no sound [08:17] ok [08:17] Phanto1, 7.10 is better then 8.04 imho [08:17] but in gutsy i can play mp3 and play et together [08:18] actually, i'm beginning to consider just slapping winxp back on this laptop right now [08:18] Phanto1: Why do you keep threatening that? [08:18] Phanto1: You want us to bed you to keep Ubuntu on it or something? [08:18] beg* [08:18] 7.10 is definitely better than 8.04 [08:19] kelvin911, there are plus sides to both [08:19] hardy is like win ME [08:19] one thing stopping me though [08:19] 98% fragmented [08:19] yes that's rite, depend on our need [08:19] takes a month to defrag [08:19] where is the plus? [08:19] we didn't get the xpmc install disc with this thing [08:19] ganjaman: Linux performs better when it's fragmented. [08:19] kelvin911, that cant be true if 7.10 is better then 8.04 because win me = better then xp [08:20] win me better than xp ?? [08:20] Phanto1: Are you having a particular issue? If not, please moan in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:20] This message is for everyone: if anyone has any artwork requests please message me :) (ubuntu Related --All Flavors) [08:20] are you crazy? [08:20] no [08:20] ehehehe [08:20] im off [08:20] bye [08:20] !ot | kelvin911 [08:20] kelvin911: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:20] why hardy takes 30 seconds longer to load then gutsy? [08:21] am i missing some lib? [08:21] because hardy is already stiffy [08:21] !enter | kelvin911 [08:21] kelvin911: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:21] this hard drive was so infected i just up and low-level formatted it and put ubuntu on it [08:21] low level format [08:21] lol [08:21] !ot | Phanto1 [08:21] Phanto1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:21] hmm... [08:21] low level format is not just format C: or whateer [08:22] you need tools from hd manufacturer [08:22] ganjaman: It's certainly not a support question either. [08:22] ganjaman, please stay ontopic thanks [08:23] yeah i stay ontopig [08:23] does anyone know the command to view what pkg u have installed? [08:24] dpkg -l hardon [08:24] hey all, quick question on a problem I'm having with hardy [08:24] ok [08:24] i can't get the thing to connect to our router and i also can't install anything for my mom [08:24] that easy [08:24] Phanto1, this is wired or wireless [08:24] ran it from cd, and had wired network hooked up. ubuntu found my host computer running windows, but couldn't 'see' anything in it [08:24] what does an arch have to to with installing things? [08:24] wireless [08:25] Phanto1, what chipset [08:25] intel pro/set [08:25] hardon: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | less [08:25] does ifconfig show three entries or two Phanto1 [08:25] anyone have this problem / know why it couldn't see anything shared on the windows network? === Handra_18 is now known as co_ckp_kehabisan [08:26] hardon: It'll structure the output a little better, and run it through less so it doesn't fly by [08:26] How do i know if my updated desktop pc (gutsy->hardy) actually uses pulseaudio or alsa? [08:26] Rastem: Apparently hardy only wants to view/share via samba if you're in the workgroup "WORKGROUP"... [08:26] it shows three [08:26] I had Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 with full disk encryption and did the update manager upgrade to Gutsy [08:26] Phanto1, what is the encryption [08:27] fde: hmm, but doesn't hardy come with samba set up? [08:27] which one is better between virtualbox and qemu? [08:27] last version I toyed with was 7.04 [08:27] 128-bit WEP (darn nintendo ds) [08:27] and that worked ok [08:27] Rastem: no... it comes with smbclient ... samba is required to share anything yourself. [08:27] now my grub menu has the 8.04 kernel entries and they kernl panic [08:28] Phanto1, wep is worthless; best to use wpa/mac filering [08:28] fde: how to make skype sound working if i am playing mp3? [08:28] Phanto1, please set to open for test [08:28] ah [08:28] * fde wonders why simple passwords is better than encryption? [08:28] you need to smoke a skygar [08:28] because it's simple :) [08:28] k brb [08:29] lemme go grab other laptop and do that [08:29] * fde uses 128bit WEP+MAC filtering [08:29] i just went to try to play isketch www.isketch.net and it said I needed a plugin, but when I clicked ot install it, it said no suitable plugin was found [08:29] what do I need to do to get isketch working? [08:29] so i guess i'm looking for some grub foo to get the system booting [08:30] ariqs: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport <-- copy and paste that into a terminal [08:30] thanks, fde [08:31] fde: what do you recommend to let the laptop see the windows shared folders [08:31] I am assuming there is a fundamental amount of knowledge you need to learn and then all of this becomes obvious. What book do I need to read to get to that point? [08:31] oh crap [08:31] i search a pplayer to play .HSC files [08:31] i can't do this tonight [08:32] Phanto1, okay, well come back when you can [08:32] i just realized that it is 1:23 AM [08:32] fde: I pated exactly what you said into a terminal [08:32] ariqs, just idle in this channel; no books needed :) [08:32] Rastem: right click a folder > "Sharing Options" ... make sure your user is in sambausers group [08:32] ariqs: did you hit enter? [08:32] fde: and I'm still getting a plugin required message [08:32] yes [08:33] ariqs: restart Firefox [08:33] I did [08:33] and i have have a meeting at work at 8:00 am [08:33] ariqs: remove swfdec and/or gnash via synaptic ... then restart firefox and try again. [08:33] well, it's to take place between 8 and noon, so i gotta be there early [08:34] fde: many thanks for the help. Seems a little clunky, wonder why it doesn't work right off... [08:34] Phanto1: Please stay on topic or /j #ubuntu-offtopic [08:34] darn meetings... [08:34] fde: i am using libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio now but the game in wine dont have sound if i am playing mp3 [08:34] dfe: I don't have either installed [08:34] fde: I don't have either installed [08:34] well, thank you anyway, i'll come back when i have plenty of time to work with this laptop [08:34] bye [08:34] ariqs: then it should be working. [08:35] fde: actually games in wine dont have sound with libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio installed [08:35] I have installed hylafax, the howto says to use 'faxsetup' to configure it, but this doesn't seem to be installed :( what do I do ? [08:35] join ubuntu-pl [08:35] i am trying to make some cron schedules, i put in 36 9 * * * /usr/bin/firefox to test if firefox will run at 9:36am but it does not, what am i doing wrong [08:36] fde: he first flash screen works. It's when I click on "play now" that it gives me a plugins thing.. and now firefox just crashed on me at the login screen [08:36] tc all thanks again [08:36] kelvin911: run 'winecfg' ... go to 'audio' tab ... hit "Test Sound" ... do you hear anything? [08:36] i have a concern that my gmail/google password has been intercepted over wireless... currently my network is unencrypted and mac filtered... even though gmail is https:// ... could someone have sniffed my password? [08:37] fde: actually because i have dosbox running ... [08:37] arooni: your password isn encrypted with ssl when gmail uses https [08:37] i am trying to make some cron schedules, i put in 36 9 * * * /usr/bin/firefox to test if firefox will run at 9:36am but it does not, what am i doing wrong [08:37] fde: the problem of one app using the sound the other app cant have sound [08:37] ariqs, you need shockwave for that site [08:37] where do gnome save it "per user" screen resolution? [08:37] problem still not solved by installing libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio [08:37] what are the commands to view a file [08:37] ? [08:37] jaffarkelshac: thats because cron dosent know about your X enviroment [08:38] hardon: depends... you want to see a textfile: less {file} [08:38] jaffarkelshac: cron is meant to be used with commandline programs [08:38] bazhang: is there a shockwave library I need to get? [08:38] well no I no about nano [08:38] kelvin911: Click on 'EsounD Driver' and hit Test Sound in wine please. [08:38] hello? [08:38] ariqs, no shockwave for linux [08:38] !hi iesmila [08:38] Factoid hi iesmila not found [08:38] !hi ! iesmila [08:38] Factoid hi ! iesmila not found [08:38] meh [08:39] !hi | iesmila [08:39] iesmila: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:39] so it cant launch any gui apps? simplexio but can it launch a script that launches a gui app? [08:39] say if I have a .html file could I view it threw terminal [08:39] * fde needs to go to bed soon [08:39] or threw ssh [08:39] jaffarkelshac: try with mplayer or mpg123 to play mp3 and it should work [08:39] fde: yes it has sound [08:39] how can linux not have something so commonly used? [08:39] jaffarkelshac: you need to pass the "DISPLAY" to it, and it works in cron [08:39] anyone else know of a way i can connect my iPod without having rhythmbox launching automatically? [08:39] kelvin911: Then there is no reason your game doesn't. [08:39] jaffarkelshac: far as i know you cant do that easily, there is work around for it probably [08:40] the sound doesnt have problem until i have other program using it fisrt [08:40] jaffarkelshac: but no gui apps which require that gui is started [08:40] BoltClock: yes, we know, wait a sec [08:40] for example if i am running quake1 in dosbox then wine dotn have sound [08:40] and vice versa [08:40] ariqs, shockwave is not commonly used [08:40] kelvin911: If you make it use esound, it should be able to have other apps playing sound just fine. [08:40] anyone know how I can fix my logon screen? It doesn't show the users that have access to the system. [08:40] fde: let me try that now [08:41] Sergeant_Pony: That is currently broken in hardy. [08:41] ok simplexio [08:41] there's a bug in the gstreamer-extra plugins [08:41] whats a good pkg for ftp? [08:41] jaffarkelshac: and what blippe sayd about DISPLAY.. that could work [08:41] fde ahh, ok, did it have to do with some updates? I ask because it worked til a few day's ago [08:41] Sergeant_Pony: If you're not using hardy... go to System > Administration > Login Window [08:41] or the thing that installs them, I don't know which [08:41] BoltClock: check the settings for nautilus (that is the filebrowser) it has a tab called media, change it there [08:41] Sergeant_Pony: Yup, sorry [08:42] does anyone know where the bit that causes the "restricted plugins" dialogue to pop up when you add the gstreamer-extra plugins to Totem is? [08:42] fde: ok, no problem.. that would explain the black box next to the login window [08:42] fde: but the sound's timing is off [08:42] Sergeant_Pony: Someone reported it first a few days ago... should be fixed soon. [08:42] because, it pops up to warn me that it's trying to install restricted codecs when it isn't [08:42] fde: ok, cool and thanks for the heads up. [08:43] * delcoyote hi [08:43] fde: maybe i restart my computer to see [08:43] fde: because the sound in mplayer is also off by like 1 or 2 sec [08:43] blippe: ah found it and it works. did they move that from System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media? heard the settings used to be there before hardy [08:43] Hi, Since I installed ubuntu hardy I can't run my firebug extension , either on ff3 or ff2, any suggestions? [08:43] is wine 1.0 now capable to do DDE? [08:44] ganjaman: DDE? [08:44] or drag&drop? [08:44] ask in #winehq ganjaman [08:44] dynamic data exchange [08:44] ganjaman: [08:44] Hi can someone help me? Apparantly I installed XGL and Compiz on xfce 4.4.2 and now my windows border are gone. So I went and uninstall XGL and Compiz but how do I get my windows border back? [08:44] as bazhang says, maybe #winehq would be better [08:44] ganjaman: is have you tried installing DDE? [08:44] s/is // [08:45] i have dcombulator installed [08:45] dcom native [08:45] AimLXJ have you tried restarting x? [08:45] ctrl+alt+backspace [08:45] press alt+f4 to continue [08:45] AimLXJ: xfwm --replace ... then compiz --replace (might be fvwm4 I forget) [08:46] This message is for everyone: if anyone has any artwork requests please message me :) [08:46] oops wrong message [08:46] was gonna say fde, he got disconnected :( [08:46] how do I setup a hylafax server ? there doesn't appear to be the 'faxsetup' program [08:46] is this keyboard compatible to linux? [08:46] ganjaman: ? [08:47] o0Chris0o: Cuz of what you told him probably... that is a dirty way to do things... should only be used if X locks up. [08:47] ganjaman: no [08:47] http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/new-keyboard.jpg [08:47] ganjaman: yes, i use it quite often, it doesn't do anything, but it "works" [08:47] ganjaman: should be, but not very useful [08:48] it has being sold with voice regconiton [08:48] o0Chris0o: Yes, I have restarted X about 5 times already [08:48] hello can someone help me with a corrupted source.list [08:48] you didn't just do it right? [08:48] AimLXJ: xfwm --replace ... then compiz --replace (might be fvwm4 I forget) <-- try this [08:48] :) [08:48] Hi, Since I installed ubuntu hardy I can't run my firebug extension , either on ff3 or ff2, any suggestions? [08:48] AimLXJ: If the compiz part makes the borders go away again... do the xfwm --replace again... [08:49] apparenly I am a dirty person, so I go with what fde says, I am new [08:49] its not corrupted but i messed it up [08:49] fde: Is there a button to bring up the terminal since tit's being covered up by Opera and I can't move it [08:50] o0Chris0o: I didn't say you're a dirty person... heh... just that that is a dirty way to restart X... should never be needed... either log out and back in, or restart the process itself... [08:50] after installing that esound in wine, the game's sound is off timing [08:50] AimLXJ: heh... alt+f2 ... although I forget what terminal xfce uses [08:51] hello i screwed up my source.list for hardy and i cant install updates [08:51] AimLXJ: maybe xfterminal?

[09:07] i tryed what you said to do and my updater just crashed. [09:07] neil_d, you done apt-cache search fax for that yet [09:07] WS: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup I believe is what you want. [09:07] fde: okey ill try that out :) [09:07] fde: "This apititude does not have Super Cow powers" [09:08] bazhang: no. [09:08] AimLXJ: The heck? You typed sudo in front right? [09:08] I've run 5.10 through gutsy but hardy keeps looking for sata drives on startup [09:08] fde: Yea [09:08] neil_d, could you give me a pointer on what errors you are getting? [09:08] then won't install.... [09:08] how to add internal partition /dev/sda4 to automount on startup and external disk to not be mounted on startup [09:08] is there a way i can replace my gusty source.list with a hardy source.list [09:09] dare: Comment out that line in /etc/fstab ... (stick a # in front of the line) [09:09] SkinnYPup, this is a fresh install or not installed yet [09:09] bazhang: none, I haven't set anything up yet. [09:09] fde: Well if we can't fix it, let's try putting gnome, how do I do that? [09:09] what "link-pruning" means? [09:09] AimLXJ: ahh... cuz that's an apt-get command... my bad... [09:09] AimLXJ: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg .... try that :) [09:09] fde: Okay [09:10] aptitude has just 'reinstall' also [09:10] fde, ok, i will try out, but any way to do it by gui [09:10] « /msg ubottu etiquette » [09:10] neil_d, okay; best to try something first-->you checked the forums yet? what does ubuntu hardy hylafax return for you [09:10] bazhang: would be fresh install. Whether from cd or inside a vmware it keeps scaning for sata's and then the install icon doesn't launch === vagothcpp is now known as vagoth|freind === vagoth|freind is now known as vagoth|friend [09:10] dare: Currently no, I hear they are going to create such a tool for Gnome 2.24 though [09:10] fde: Okay it's done, do I restart X? [09:10] SkinnYPup, this dual boot or no [09:11] fde, ok thanks [09:11] Hi, I'm supposed to install the ia32-libs package but I can't find it in any of the repositories for 7.10 ? Does anybody have any idea (need to install VMWare server on Xeon X3210 cpu) [09:11] I have several ubuntu versions on here [09:11] dare: you can 'gksudo gedit /etc/fstab ... that's sort of a GUI :) [09:11] #join ubuntu-pl [09:11] 6.06 fiesty and gutsy [09:11] AimLXJ: Yup... [09:11] #join ubuntu.pl [09:11] SkinnYPup, any non-ubuntu? [09:11] fde, yeah I know :) [09:11] Would anyone mind answering a few questions about a dual boot install? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [09:11] Fath[0]m, ask away [09:12] was messin with debian but needed some hdd space back :o) [09:12] Fath[0]m: Would you mind asking them? :P [09:12] Ok well its kinda complicated [09:12] I have 127 gb hard drive with XP [09:12] SkinnYPup, you might try the minimal installer or unetbootin [09:12] I have 60 gb of unused HD space [09:12] I partitioned the drive when I first installed XP [09:12] Fath[0]m, no worries; the ubuntu installer will it for you [09:13] fde, but everythime I do something not by gui Im afraid to mess something, cus only one misstake in letters might be catastropfic, I had bad expiriance with it :D [09:13] bazhang: what is unetbootin btw... lots of people make reference to it... got a link? [09:13] Right but I have been reading that you need Grub or something [09:13] silent 'do' [09:13] to make sure it will boot both ubuntu and Xp [09:13] Fath[0]m, it will do that too [09:13] dare: mv file file.backup ... no need to fear anymore :) [09:13] And this will keep my original XP partition safe? [09:13] thanks for the tips , I didn't poke at it much , wondered if it was common for ata only systems to scan through sata on boot [09:13] dare: if you mess up... you just do the opposite ... mv file.backup file and you're back where you started :) [09:14] Fath[0]m, yes :) [09:14] and also hwo do I make a swap partition [09:14] fde, in beggining I didnt knew it, now every week I backup whole my sistem drive with g4l [09:14] since that seems to be needed [09:14] in all the tutorials I read [09:14] Fath[0]m, it will do it for you or you can do yourself [09:14] hi i have a strange problem .. its a lot to explain .. is anyone free to help me [09:14] How will it know what to partition? [09:14] fde: No luck :( [09:14] Fath[0]m: It's all in the installer ... choose 'custom' and don't overwrite your existing XP partition. [09:15] Fath[0]m, it is magic :) [09:15] AimLXJ: sudo aptitude reinstall xfwm4 [09:15] So would I just use the swap partition before I install on the 60 gb partition [09:15] woudl I make the swap partition I mean [09:15] it's a kinda magic magic magic. [09:15] fde: Aptitude or apt-get? :P [09:15] Fath[0]m, best to let the installer do it for you [09:15] So it willmake a swap automatically? [09:16] Fath[0]m, aye [09:16] Fath[0]m: No... you make the swap partition during install for the installed Linux system... I think you're over thinking things... docs are more confusing when you're not going along with them. [09:16] AimLXJ: aptitude ... heh... [09:16] AimLXJ, apt-get :) [09:16] :O [09:16] "aye" and a "no" lol [09:16] Vegombrei, please ask away [09:17] Fath[0]m, dont listen to that f-de guy :) [09:17] Fath[0]m: I recommend choosing 'custom' partitioning... and making a / of 5120 mb (5 gigs) ... and a swap of 2048mb (2gigs) ... then whatever is left for /home ... you'll see "mount point" where you set swap or /home or / ... it's pretty simple really. [09:17] Fath[0]m, that works too :) [09:17] bazhang: >:( [09:18] fde just kidding :) [09:18] whats / [09:18] i have windows xp on another partition , i thought i'd have it around since i am new to unix and ubuntu .. anyways i hear there's a way to make xp run virtually thru ubuntu , could you help me sort this out ? [09:18] root Fath[0]m [09:18] fde: Nope :( [09:18] bazhang: I don't recommend doing the 'guided' partitioning... it sets up everything on / which is a pain... if you don't do guided, it won't do it automatically. [09:18] simplexio: after digging around i found it, export Display=:0 [09:18] fde what is the keystroke with the up arrow [09:19] jaffarkelshac: yeah. something like that [09:19] AimLXJ: I have no idea what you did then... you messed something up bad... we've reset XFce to defaults... we've reinstalled Xorg, and we've reinstalled the correct Window manager... I dunno what else there is to try... [09:19] Vegombrei, you want a virtual machine for that or using wubi [09:19] jaffarkelshac: if you dont have several user logged in X [09:19] bazhang: ^ you mean? [09:19] fde: All I did was install XGL and Compiz :\ [09:20] fde aye [09:20] bazhang: here it's just ctrl+6 === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [09:20] thanks fde [09:20] I am completely noob to the whole / thing. I will make a 5120 partition and then swap partition of 4 gigs (double my ram) and then another partition /home? [09:20] HOLA [09:20] AimLXJ: XGL is evil and dead... maybe 'sudo aptitude purge xserver-xgl' as last thing? [09:20] !es | FREDDY18 [09:20] FREDDY18: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [09:20] I am confused [09:21] Fath[0]m, that is best; that way if anything screws up /home will be protected [09:21] fde: Oh wow didn't know that, ill give that command a try [09:21] bazhang: how do i set up a virtual machine ?? ive been reading up on software like vmware and parallels desktop .. do they have that for ubuntu ? [09:21] Fath[0]m: It is just what you pick from "Mount Point" options in the installer... it is the root partition... like C:\ in Windows. [09:21] Vegombrei, sure do; there is also virtualbox; you got gutsy or hardy [09:21] bazhang: im not sure .. how do i check what i have ?> [09:22] lsb_release -a Vegombrei [09:22] AimLXJ: XGL was a nasty hack for a proof of concept of XGLX - a full replacement Xserver - however it was a nasty hack on top of Xorg, and is no longer supported... Xorg uses AIGLX to accomplish the same thing, and this is enabled in Ubuntu by default. [09:22] Ok so why woudl i want to make / only 5 gigs? [09:22] fde she is gone [09:22] hardy [09:23] bazhang: i got hardy [09:23] doh [09:23] instead of the full 60 gb? [09:23] I know no one will probably be able to help me with this, but I'm having some problems with a shoutcast server... [09:23] Fath[0]m, more is better of course [09:23] bazhang: I don't see how you follow this channel with join/parts on... heh [09:23] fde no choice :( [09:23] Fath[0]m: I'd recommend using most for /home as that's where your files will be... [09:23] It keeps not accepting my passwords, even though I know they're right... [09:23] fde: Doesn't work but hey I do remember that when XGL was installed, it says that it would take over something and it will automaticly start when I login [09:23] Vegombrei, sudo apt-get install virtualbox [09:24] AimLXJ: Removing it should have taken it out of such scripts though. [09:24] bazhang: XChat? [09:24] fde aye [09:24] How can I read the mail when I get a message you'got mail in /home/username? [09:24] fde: Well incase it doesn't, where is the XGL folder located? [09:25] bazhang: Right click the channel name > Uncheck "Show Join/Part Messages" ... voila :) [09:25] Balachmar_, what app gives this message [09:25] hi guys and galls [09:25] fde nay, have to watch for the troublemakers :) [09:25] need help with soft button on an intel wifi card 4965 [09:25] AimLXJ: Did I have you purge or remove xserver-xgl [09:25] Oh goodness, I am going to try and install [09:25] wish me luck [09:25] fde: Purge [09:25] it is stuck on kill switch on [09:25] bazhang: Floodbot takes care of that? [09:25] Fath[0]m, come back if you have troubles [09:25] AimLXJ: then the conf files are gone. [09:26] fde: :\, okay then how do I install gnome? :D [09:26] AimLXJ: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [09:26] Would it be better for me to install ubuntu in its own partition or install it inside windows? [09:27] (technically gnome-desktop-environment but this is #ubuntu :P ) [09:27] Fath[0]m, its own [09:27] I've installed a desktop environment, but how do I chance it from how it looks now? [09:27] BUGabundo_work, well set kill swtich off [09:27] espham: Install a new theme? Which desktop manager? [09:27] aþlfkladfkadfl ..

[09:30] tehk, well you want to boot through livecd or what [09:30] gradin: so you can install vncserver via repos, then configure it using nano etc [09:30] but i can't figure out how to enable vnc to login to the local session [09:30] TooFly, check BIOS [09:30] really? it's not a ubuntu option? [09:30] Hey there, I'm trying to share files on the network so a XP computer can download it from me but Nautilus just says "Could not change permissions" what's up?

[09:56] Fath[0]m: I wouldn't use more than 768MB [09:56] I actually saw it use 64mb earlier... it was amazing. [09:56] Fath[0]m: but that's just me...

[10:00] brb [10:00] redondos: okay i will seek into that thank you [10:00] so maybe go with 20k to start? [10:00] manoff: that's quite simple, just `mount -t smbfs //laptop/share /mnt/laptop' [10:00] redondos: aha [10:00] This is really just so I can learn Linux and mess around, my windows HD is my main one [10:00] err windows partition [10:01] Fath[0]m: 20480 ... sure... that's a good number... you can use /home on all distros... so that leaves you like 40gigs to play with other stuff in...

[10:03] im trying to share a folder in hardy using the "guest" option (so i dont have to enter a password), but from windows it asks for a username and passwd still. any ideas? [10:03] Ok so now I have my 4 partitions I click forward right? [10:03] redondos, it wasn't me with the windows / samba problem i was wondering out of curiosity if i share things from my ubuntu computer with my home network what might ports need to be open (so the other way around) [10:03] maek, I don't know ) I install ubuntu 8.04 at all [10:03] Fath[0]m: No, that is all your files... apps go into /usr which is part of the / partition.

[10:49] Myrtti -> virtual PC 2007 is an emulation for old microsoft's OS's, and is able also to put Linux systems [10:49] fluxbuntu r2r [10:49] ArmyMan007: You're using VirtualPC? Have you tried VMware instead? It has a free version also. [10:49] Myrtti -> (such as Ubuntu) [10:50] how do i edit my vidoes captured with recordmydesktop, its in ogg and i cant find any editor that works with this format [10:50] kelvin911: have you done as i told you twice now " sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove " [10:50] thankyou very much [10:50] fde -> any diffrence between the two? [10:50] jaffarkelshac, have you tried avidemux or lives ? [10:50] ArmyMan007: Other than better performance, and wider support? Nothing at all. [10:50] ArmyMan007: one is free the other is not [10:50] ubuntunoob, what about in lshw [10:50] i did sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove [10:50] ArmyMan007: there's also virtualbox, qemu (with or without frontends) ... [10:50] i have tried avidemux, but not lives [10:50] erUSUL: Nah, both are free beer... neither is free speech. [10:50] erUSUL -> the microsoft's one is free [10:51] erUSUL -> the vmware is not [10:51] i did sudo update-rc.d -f pulseaudio remove [10:51] fde: VB is libre <> free speech [10:51] joaopinto: lives in not in the repos is it? [10:51] ArmyMan007: VMware has a free version. [10:51] hi [10:51] ArmyMan007, the vmware is also free [10:51] so? i ask you: any diffrence? [10:51] im new to ubuntu, how do i start ms office [10:51] the VMWare _PLAYER_ is free [10:51] ? [10:51] jaffarkelshac, no, but you can grab it from getdeb [10:51] ArmyMan007, virtual pc is sadly lacking [10:51] as in gratis [10:51] the server is also free [10:51] try VMware insted? [10:51] bazhang, looking, but somehow I think the problem is deeper than the card itself [10:51] erUSUL: do i need to remove pulseaudio in sessions too? [10:51] ArmyMan007: Performance and support... like I said. [10:52] i see pulseaudio session manager in sessions [10:52] kelvin911: wouldn't hurt [10:52] suppport and performance better on VMware? [10:52] ArmyMan007: VMware is vastly superior.

[10:55] kakoonia: can you paste the output of "lspci | grep -i net" [10:55] How do you stop pinging an ip? [10:55] ctrl +c [10:55] Fath[0]m: crtl + c [10:55] fde: earlier as today? [10:55] hey all, flash is causing my computer to totally freeze. im using heron, firefox2 or 3 and non-free adobe flash. i have tried the nswrapper 'fix' but it doesn't help [10:55] kakoonia: Yup. [10:55] does hardy not come with any games by default? or is something funny with my install? [10:55] bazhang, no broadcom detected with lshw [10:55] pulseaudio is still there [10:55] k [10:56] do i have to manually end task pulseaudio everytime i reboot my computer? [10:56] erUSUL: sec.. [10:56] bazhang, I know what you -want- to tell me, my wireless card is fried, but I would have to fight you to th e grave on that one [10:56] rebecca: It won't it'll just cause Firefox to not crash when Flash crashes... there is no fix really, Flash on linux just is poor. [10:56] xim: i had some games on my defualt install [10:56] erUSUL: ima paste it here.. not too long. [10:56] 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [10:57] 05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) [10:57] uuugh i wonder what that means [10:57] rebecca: Hopefully that'll improve when Gnash or SwfDec mature more... but for now, we're stuck. [10:57] xim: did you check the disk before installing? [10:57] vallhalla81: Kubuntu doesn't include games by default... did you install Kubuntu? [10:57] kakoonia: "lsmod | grep 8139" please use a pastebin [10:57] adobe released the flash specification recently [10:57] fde: yeah, i know what it's supposed to do.. but it still completely freezes it(?). i have flash working fine on gibbon which confuses me.. [10:58] check it for what, you mean the cd not my HD right? [10:58] Any help ? I just installed virtual box and my display/sound are no longer working please ? [10:58] fde: xim: has the problem i am just helping but thank you [10:58] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11818/ [10:58] xim: yes you need to check the cd for erors [10:58] fde: no its regular ubuntu hardy [10:58] fde: oops, i meant feisty. flash works fine on my feisty laptop. [10:59] like with chkdisk [10:59] kakoonia: the drivers are loaded and still you do not get eth0 ?? [10:59] rebecca: It hasn't gotten any better/worse for me since warty... since flash 9 was first released for Linux, it has been poor. [11:00] fde: is it possible to roll back the flash version to fix the problem? [11:00] bazhang? [11:00] erusul: sec.. im gonna pastebin soething more informative.. [11:00] xim: i believe when you start from the disk one of the start options is to check the disk [11:01] If Adobe really released the specs, then hopefully Gnash/SwfDec will replace Adobe's Flash and the issue will not be applicable anymore. [11:01] rebecca: no; flashplugin-nonfree just dl whatever is aviable at adobe site [11:01] rebecca: It's not the flash version. [11:03] vallhalla81: ah i see, ill try that [11:04] fde: do you know of any work arounds? [11:04] Problem: Broadcom wireless card is not detected under Windows XP, Possible lead: XP does not have a functioning high precision event timer, and ubuntu doesn't detect that system device!!! [11:04] rebecca: No, other than don't use flash more than you have to. [11:05] ubuntunoob winsows needs your cards drivers to use it properly [11:05] fde: hehe. okay [11:05] rebecca: 90% of Flash on the internet is used for ads anyways... [11:05] * emma *smiles* [11:06] Shadow420, I most definitely have reinstalled drivers upon drivers trying to get this thing to work [11:06] how do I get the restricted drivers back in the list for my nvidia card, it's no longer displayed there and my graphics are screwy ? [11:06] Shadow420, with some unknown chain of events including driver uninstall/reinstalls and resetting the CMOS I can get it to turn on periodically on XP [11:06] rebecca: Recommend adblock and noscript for such sites... then allow sites like youtube that you actually want to use, and bare with the bad performance... [11:06] ubuntunoob plus my sis had a laptop with XP and a wireless card and it worked I think maybe because it's a linksys [11:07] fde: yeah, those are what usually cause the freezes.. oh well, i might give the FOSS alternatives a try.

[11:47] Installing something like Amarok gives me a pile of dependencies, becuase it's a KDE app, and i'm running gnome, does that hurt my system performance much? or is it pretty trivial generally? [11:48] simplexio, is there a way to search through the terminal for specific terms/phrases? [11:48] anyone know why gedit won't allow a save as dialog without crashing? [11:48] ubuntunoob: dmesg | grep net [11:48] Nevern: sure they will, you should be using System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to install them. In any case, all the runlevels (2-5) in ubuntu/debian are identical by default and 2 is the default runlevel [11:49] when I do "sudo chroot /media/disk" i can't do anything with my network (ping, apt-get, wget, etc) -- how can i restore network traffic?

[12:37] by playing around i mean installing. [12:37] Prefix: ill check Tovid's website [12:37] ArrowLance: aha we are talking windows xp?

[14:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11845/ [14:02] hi all [14:02] !swap [14:02] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:02] ubnoob: 2xRAM as usual [14:03] ubnoob: typically people say twice as much swap as RAM [14:03] boys, i've a toshiba l30-114 and iv'e troubles with my audio card, it look like recognized but i cannot hear nothing... and i cannot change the volume in the mixer [14:03] mine is 8.4GiBs [14:03] any info? [14:03] I have 4GiBs of RAM [14:03] ubnoob: this is kind of "received wisdom" though, which made sense 20 years ago [14:03] mgolisch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11845/ [14:03] it is here. [14:03] Wow, well, I'm sporting 4 gigs of RAM on this laptop...That's a lot of space for memory, hmm? [14:03] pls help me. [14:03] anyone here able to help me out with minicom? [14:03] Hote1: What exactly are you trying to do? [14:04] I just installed a fresh 8.04, ran setup with a USB to Serial device /dev/ttyUSB0 [14:04] ubnoob: incidentally with 2GB of RAM I basically can't see a difference between swap being on and swap being off [14:04] and I get this when starting up [14:04] minicom: ../iconv/loop.c:430: internal_utf8_loop_single: Assertion `inptr - bytebuf > (state->__count & 7)' failed. [14:04] Aborted [14:04] Hote1: pastebin [14:04] ah, it's only one line [14:04] Hote1: weird [14:04] yeah, that is what I thought [14:05] HELP Please I keep getting " Desktop effects could not be enabled " when I try and run compiz.. But if I do a compiz --replace it gives me an error about my screen being too big.. 2560 X 1024 . If I shrink it . and run compiz --replace I get the white screen of DEATH!!! help please... [14:05] iconv is to do with utf8 conversion [14:05] gordonjcp, so do you suggest skipping this step all together? I'm planning on using Ubuntu almost exclusively for college and work, so I wont NEED a lot of ram, but there was a deal on the dell website *Shrug* I figured, the more the merrier. [14:05] it was working for a while on my 7.10 upgrade to 8.04, I screwed something up royally and decided to re-install yesterday when I noticed this message on that system [14:05] heyyyy guyss,, how can I delete a program? [14:05] harris: applications > add/remove [14:06] harris how installed [14:06] harris: go into synaptic.. select the package for deletion [14:06] harris, sudo apt-get remove [14:06] look like the audit some limited. [14:06] ubnoob: set it up anyway, it can't hurt [14:06] ubnoob: have swap, a bit more than you have ram [14:06] ubnoob: you would love swap if you like to use suspend or hibernate [14:06] if cups does not autodetect my printer, how do I install the necessary driver? [14:06] Hote1: try googling for just the bit about "internal_utf8_loop_single" [14:06] gordonjcp, do you think I might be missing some sort of package? [14:07] Hote1: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423017 [14:07] Debian bug 423017 in minicom "internal_utf8_loop_single: Assertion" [Normal,Open] [14:07] Tm_T, oh! Is that it's main purpose? I'm a huge fan of hibernates and suspends on Windows [14:07] mgolisch? [14:07] Hote1: also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413934 [14:07] are you here now? [14:07] Debian bug 413934 in minicom "minicom crashes if LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 is set - with LANG=POSIX it works fine" [Normal,Open] [14:07] So much easier than worrying about wasting battery power between classes, shutting down and starting up each time [14:08] ubnoob: no, but it is used to that too [14:08] after I upgraded to hardy, sound won`t work with zsnes. I have tried all the "zsnes -ad" commands [14:08] ubnoob: swap is "extend" to your ram [14:09] gordonjcp, so it is a sit and wait situation? [14:09] Tm_T, alright, thanks, and just allocate the rest to the root mount point? Or are there any other linux "kernals" of wisdom (Pun-tastic) I should know about partitioning? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [14:09] bona [14:10] hi [14:10] is anyone here have an Inspiron 1525 ?

[14:11] Skyowner, I do :) [14:11] Currently installing Ubuntu on her right now :) [14:11] ubnoob: it's probably a good idea to make /home a separate partition, so when you need to reinstall you don't need to blow away your existing data [14:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11847/ <-- what lsmod, lspci and aplay tell about my audio card [14:11] gordonjcp, so how much room should I use for root, do you think?

I'm runnign a ATI X1950 card [14:13] ubnoob: you perhaps like to have /home in separate partition [14:13] gordonjcp http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [14:13] my ubuntu hardy doesn't append mshome.net dns suffix that is served from a winxp sp3 pro ICS. the hostname of ubuntu is Kubuntu. so I need whole network should recognise it by Kubuntu.mshome.net. how can I achieve that?

[14:14] Tm_T, eep...Really? I don't have that much space, I only left about 30 gigs for Linux out of the 120 gig hard drive, because I wasn't putting anything heavy duty into it [14:14] how to add "sudo conky" to be launched at startup?

[14:16] ubnoob: heh, prolly even 4 is enough [14:16] ubnoob: but put just one partition, with that small space you might lose flexibility [14:16] Min somewhere like 2.6 [14:17] ubnoob I have run as little as 4 [14:17] Andycas: hm, you might be looking for something like suid [14:17] Tm_T, great :) Thank you, and you too Gordonjcp, for your help! :) [14:17] Andycas: maybe googling for something like "run conky as root" [14:17] ubnoob: good luck ;-) [14:18] ubnoob: FYI, my / uses only ~4 G and I have "huge" install, sorta, getting bigger soon actually :-P [14:18] salve a tutti [14:18] my ubuntu hardy doesn't append mshome.net dns suffix. how can I make it append? and the full host address will be Kubuntu.mshome.net [14:18] !it | greg__ [14:18] greg__: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

I ran update-rc.d to remove it from the startup scripts, and it seemed to work since I don't see any reference to dansguardian in any of the /etc/rcX.d folders, but dansguardian still ends up somehow being loaded on startup. What am I missing? [14:34] gmplayer? [14:35] does anyone know how to dump what is in swap? [14:35] lartza_, try Audacious. use synaptic to install [14:35] lartza_: yeah [14:35] shadowjack: Audacious wont play videos... [14:35] MEDIA player [14:35] but gmplayers playlist thing sucks [14:35] its a pain in the ass [14:36] thats why i dont use gmplayer [14:36] :( [14:36] lartza_, being a jerk wont get you anywhere [14:36] mgolisch Watch the language.. thanks [14:36] hello may I ask a question? what's the comand to open the writer? [14:36] so no good media players in ubuntu or linux === phenom|zZz is now known as phenom_ [14:36] i use some shellscripts instead which start mplayer in fulscreen mdoe in a loop over the given files [14:36] shadowjack: How am I a jerk? [14:36] i know how to upgrade tar,but don't know how to downgrade it [14:36] Does anyone know if it is possible to use finger print scanner for all password control? [14:37] Jakoo: oowriter [14:37] does anyone know about swap??? [14:37] ty [14:37] I want to be able to login, and send e-mails with evolution(I have the DSA signature in the keyring) all with just a touch of my finger? [14:37] if i want to use ndiswrapper for my wireless network card on a dell latitude d531, does anyone know which inf-file i need? [14:37] shane2peru: what do you want to know? [14:37] my network supports many encryption types, how do i create multiple profiles for wpa_supplicant.conf? [14:37] ben_underscore, why 1.5GB of swap is being used when nothing is running. [14:38] jberg: Do you know the chipset your wireless card uses? [14:38] ben_underscore, I have 3GB of swap and 1.5GB or ram [14:38] Is there a changelog of some sort for 8.04? [14:38] ben_underscore, nothing running and half of swap used. [14:38] jberg-: Why not download the 2000 or XP driver from Dell for your model and use the inf file in there? [14:38] ben_underscore it's ok but indeed gives me this :javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! [14:39] ben_underscore, I think something got stuck in swap, is there a way to dump swap? without restarting? [14:39] Jakoo: hmm...what does the system monitor say? it sounds like you have a process in the background chewing up ram [14:39] Hi, ever since I installed Gutsy about 6 weeks ago, I've never had so much trouble with my disk partitions. (1) after the initial install, the disks were all changed from /dev/hdAN to /dev/sdAN, but after any boot-up, they can be *anywhere*. (2) But what is upsetting me hourly, is that USB memory-stick mounts are totally inconsistent: various wrong permissions, various wrong mount points, or just not mounting. What changed? Why is [14:39] it so screwed up? Can anybody help with a URL or HOWTO to fix this mess? [14:39] all sleeping [14:40] LOWER_CASE: with gutsy? [14:40] !uuid | LOWER_CASE [14:40] LOWER_CASE: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:40] LOWER_CASE: why do you care about the devicenames for your drives? [14:40] use uuid [14:40] lartza_, miro plays videos, what did you need specifically? [14:40] LOWER_CASE, is there any reason you didn't install Hardy? [14:40] LOWER_CASE, each computer setup has so many variables, its hard to tell. if youre not finding anyting in a google search you may have a rare problem [14:41] mgolisch, it is nice to have devices named, for consistency, I use mslables for my usb stick and disk [14:41] ben_underscore : it may be the awn [14:41] Jakoo: it could be anything. try installing atop and then run it on the command line, then type m to see the memory usage. that is quite good [14:41] LOWER_CASE: Use UUIDs in the files instead of dev names, if you put USB stick A in first one day it's sdc or so, if you ut USB stick B in by itself next day, it becomes sdc instead, even if totally different size or filesystem. UUIDs make sure you have that specific device. [14:41] Jakoo: and if they're sleeping that is only cpu, they would be still in ram [14:41] LOWER_CASE try this.. it may help us.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [14:41] LOWER_CASE, the usb things can be named so that they are always consistent, let me find the link on setting that up [14:42] yes true [14:42] shane2peru !uuid [14:42] does anyone have this error in their xorg log file? I've commented it out but was wondering if there is a way to fix it (EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) [14:43] jakoo: do you run avant window nav? [14:43] yes [14:43] awn [14:43] thats the problem then [14:43] Jack_Sparrow, is that a uuid issue? I always hate uuid, and delete them, and switch to device names. :) in my fstab and menu.lst at least [14:43] Yes, with Gutsy. After all users could no longer long on (because /home had moved from /hdAN to /sdAN and fstab was not updated by the upgrade) I got a bit disillusioned, and do not want to go to later releases just to get burnt again. [14:44] Sorry, "After all users could no longer log on". [14:44] shane2peru if he locks down the devices with uuid then he wont have a problem. in some cases a dd copy will cause problems with uuid. [14:44] Jakoo: best of luck, i have to split [14:44] awn is flaky [14:44] thank you ben [14:44] Jack_Sparrow, ahh, I know uuid has it's uses, but for me, it is just more of a headache. :) [14:45] shane2peru: why? [14:45] its easy [14:45] shane2peru agreed, but it is nice for usb devices [14:45] you can rearange the disks and stuff [14:45] it wouldnt matter [14:45] mgolisch, mostly because of backing up and restoring, then restoring grub, and the uuid's don't line up, won't boot, etc! My system works great with /dev/sda# [14:46] hello friends!!! [14:46] hello bazhang [14:46] shane2peru: Also the method for changing volume name for a drive varies greatly depending on the filesystem, etc [14:46] facilitador, hi :) [14:46] how are you? [14:46] mgolisch, I just swapped everything over to a bigger hdd, and then changed the booting order, and presto, worked like a charm, it is probably because of my ignorance to uuid. :) [14:47] you guys know about dslreport.com , does anyone know an ap or a script that I could run for 24hrs that would give me the same kind of results, testing my connection speed every 30 min or so and putting out a log or a graph ? [14:47] how can i make awn run at startup?????? [14:47] hmm is there a setting somewhere that lets me play audio in firefox while its playing somewhere else, even when i pause my mp3 player, firefox wont play audio... if that makes sense [14:47] Can anyone help me? I can't figure out how "dansguardian" still gets loaded on startup, even though I removed it's startup scripts via update-rc.d (or at least I think it worked--there's no reference to dansguardian in any of my /etc/rcX.d folders). I could uninstall it as a last resort, but I want to just disable it for now. Any ideas? [14:47] genii, correct, but it isn't too hard in ubuntu now. :) Granted in M$ it is still a bit easier, I'll live with the hardships for a better OS [14:47] how can i make awn run at startup?????? [14:47] visual basic need for ubuntu, or something similar [14:47] napster: go to system->prefs->sessions and add AWN [14:47] visual basic need for ubuntu, or something similar [14:48] Sarah, it's related to pulseaudio I beleive, there is a libsupportmozilla or someting like that but it cause flash to crash FF3, [14:48] napster: I thought you must add an startup item with some name (eg AWN) and command avant-window-navigator [14:48] facilitador, that is c or c++ [14:48] does anyone know why half of my 3GB swap space is used, when nothing is running?

[14:50] I need visual programming in Ubuntu [14:50] i'm with a prob here [14:50] skyowner, gutsy has networking issues as well. i work around is to use OpenDNS [14:51] STSX, where is it set? in the dansguardian settings or in startup session [14:51] i have to install vista on a pc that has ubuntu [14:51] Pelo, right, but when I run: free I get the same results, no the system is running fine. [14:51] Why does my brothers laptop overheat with ubuntu 8.04 all the time ? [14:51] FlashWolf: just a sec, ill look for a howto [14:51] facilitador: what are you aiming at? [14:51] well thanx evry1, i did it by adding [14:51] Pelo, just bothers me to see the swap graph half full. :) [14:51] i have 4 partitions, ubuntu, swap, files and a new partition for windows [14:51] Pelo, on system monitor that is. [14:51] facilitador: there are interface desigenrs for both gtk and qt [14:51] Why does my brothers laptop overheat with ubuntu 8.04 all the time ? [14:52] skyowner, unfortunately there is no indications that the networking issues will be resolved as these bugs are supposed to be "features" [14:52] yes [14:52] FlashWolf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76652&highlight=restore+grub [14:52] shane2peru, I beleive the swap just doesn'T get updated unless new room is needed, don'T worry about it to much , I get more or less the same [14:52] bazhang: I believe it's set to load via the /etc/init.d folder, but I used "update-rc.d" to remove it; still loads on startup tho.

[14:52] is it possible to mount a drive at startup???? [14:52] STSX, does it have some kind of settings or gui? never used it before [14:52] FlashWolf: just resize your ubuntu ext3 partition and install windows on a new partition (resize your current partition using ubuntu live cd!) [14:52] i began to install windows in the 4th partition, but when it restarts to resume the installation, the pc doenst boot [14:53] Pelo, ahh, because it is swap space, it just stays written there until overwritten?

[14:54] neither windows detects a init error [14:54] clusty You are on the right track. video drivers seem to be the number one culprit [14:54] shane2peru, you can expect that if swap was being treated the same way as memory the write/erase would probably ware the hdd down [14:54] I speak spanish [14:54] shadowjack can u explain to me [14:54] :-D [14:54] shane2peru: np [14:54] bazhang: If it is not listed in /etc/rc.local, or any of the /etc/rcX.d/ folders, where else would I look to figure out how it is loading?

[14:55] Jack_Sparrow, in 7.10 it was workingm uch better [14:55] It just overheats and shuts down. [14:55] Spzatt: it is probably your laptop, it cant be ubuntu [14:55] The fan runs constantly and the CPU goes to around 70 degrees celcius. [14:55] Nope, 7.10 worked smoothly.

This was a quick fix to get "/home" and "/home/dosc" working again. [15:08] ripplepay: try echo "brightness: 8" |sudo tee /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd [15:08] or something [15:09] Hello World [15:09] ? [15:09] ray_ use ndiswrapper [15:09] frytek im on ubuntu 7.10 [15:09] bazhang, assuming that's a terminal command, it's just kicked me back to bash [15:09] installed the driver like a charm === top_itlhox is now known as topapa [15:09] frytek do i need any fixed for my dell laptop? [15:10] LOWER_CASE: how does that have any relevance to what I said ? [15:10] i was figting 3 days with mine, there is program that allow use of winxp NT drivers in linux called ndiswrapper [15:10] frytek see my q? [15:11] neuron, yeah I got that too; could either be not drivers needed or in linux-restricted-modules--what does ifconfig show two entries or three [15:11] LOWER_CASE, did you upgrade or do a clean install? [15:11] bazhang, 4, it looks like. [15:11] Is there a way to use an Ubuntu CD to get to a command-line only system? (low ram machine) [15:11] wlan0 and wmaster0 neuron ? [15:12] *ubuntu live cd [15:12] What's the word on http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html ? [15:12] ray_I do not exactly uderstand your q, i am only telling you there is option to install windows drivers for linux if linux ones are not working for you [15:12] bazhang, yes, those two are at the bottom [15:12] rrittenhouse, sure do the minimal install (9mb iso) [15:12] sgtd, someone pointed me to here https://edge.launchpad.net/bugs/cve/2008-0166 [15:12] frytek how i do this? [15:12] neuron, you got an open wifi spot to test on? [15:12] i never did it [15:12] bazhang, I just need to analyze a drive [15:13] bazhang, I'm in range of my home network [15:13] sgtd, but havent seen anything yet [15:13] rrittenhouse, then a rescue cd [15:13] hmm ok [15:13] would dl the drivers fdrom dell before i upgrated [15:13] sgtd, also http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1 [15:13] rrittenhouse, like backtrack, knoppix, or similar for real analyzing and other things [15:14] rexy_: heh @ https://edge.launchpad.net/.... [15:14] frytek how i do install of windows driver i never did it [15:14] httpS <-- [15:14] ? [15:14] neuron, does iwconfig show the essid [15:14] can anyone tell me why the gfax virtual printer doesn't show up? in any print dialogs! === adante__ is now known as adante [15:14] bazhang, Nope :( Just two quotes. [15:14] sgtd, :) [15:14] How do I edit files under /proc/acpi? ..... echo "brightness: 8" |sudo tee /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd [15:14] brightness: 8 [15:14] tee: /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd: Invalid argument [15:15] I'm trying to get my laptop display brighter. [15:15] bazhang: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:"" [15:15] ciao [15:15] <|chiz|> Does anyone know of a replacement for the standard gnome app menu? [15:15] neuron, you know the cli at all? I got a how to guide if you want [15:15] sgtd, seems judging from the usn that an update has been released, so either check the main mirror or wait for the patches to propagate i suppose [15:15] !lista [15:15] shadowjack: upgrade from Feisty. [15:15] Factoid lista not found [15:15] when I try to edit via sudo emacs I get this weird behavior where it keeps trying to revert the buffer [15:15] ikonia: I'm not sure: I fixed: /dev/sda2 to /boot /dev/sda7 to /home /dev/sda1 to /home/dosc [15:15] I don't know why there are three /media/ALFREDO_2GB in there, or why CD is where it is. I *did* fix the permissions on the very last ALFREDO_2GB in http://paste.stgraber.org/3639 because I couldn't set timestamps. [15:15] i think i found the prob [15:15] ripplepay: editing what? [15:16] bazhang, I have no idea what a CLI is lol, so No :( [15:16] How can I find out what my default root password is? [15:16] ripplepay: you cant edit the stuff in /proc [15:16] LOWER_CASE, upgrades are messy. its much better to do clean installs [15:16] mgolisch: /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd [15:16] LOWER_CASE: again, totally nothing to do with what I said to you [15:16] ripplepay: why didnt you do what i told you to? [15:16] rexy_: thanks. [15:16] rutgermasi: i think the prob is a partition that has data [15:16] I did, and pasted the error message. [15:16] neuron, the terminal where you typed ifconfig etc [15:17] i have 4: ubuntu's, swap, some data and a a partition to windows [15:17] flash in ubuntu 8 how i install the win dows driver never did it going to once dl them on 7.10 [15:17] ? [15:17] ray_ i am afraid you have to check ndiswrapper documentation for more details [15:17] bazhang, yes, what about it? (Sorry, I'm a total Ubuntu noob here) O_O [15:17] mgolisch: "Invalid argument" if I do what you suggested with tee. [15:17] frytek o ok how i get this [15:17] In KDE 3.5, when I add a program to the bottom panel, how can I change it's icon? I right-click it, choose "configure button" and I don't see that option anywhere. Any ideas? [15:17] frytek is it easy in ubuntu 8] [15:17] ? [15:17] i partitioned my hard drive wrong, and i dont know what to do to fix it. can someone help me with it? [15:18] neuron, that is the cli (command line interface) the gui is the shiny buttons we click :) [15:18] ripplepay: oh maybe i had a typo in that [15:18] ripplepay: do cat on it again to see what that value actualy is named [15:18] bazhang, OH! LOL I know a few basic commands, sudo, apt, etc etc [15:18] <|chiz|> ringer: what do you do wrong? [15:18] neuron, let me get you the link-->is the network open? [15:18] root@thartman-laptop:/proc/acpi/toshiba>cat lcd [15:18] brightness: 0 [15:18] brightness_levels: 8 [15:18] maybe it's a whitespace thing? [15:18] mgo how i install the windows driver in 8 once upgrade to it [15:19] i never did it [15:19] dont want to mess it up and lost what i have [15:19] anybody know where I can get of the newest nvidia card that will work on linux? [15:19] ripplepay: yeah try that or only try echo 8 [15:20] now that I know what to google on I found: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748641 [15:20] i am almost fresh in linux & ubuntu so it took me a while, read ndiswrapper docs for more details. and google your wireless card and check how other ppl dealt with the problem [15:20] |chiz| i tried to upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 and i was told to delete 7.10 with the manual partitioner on install, and when i tried to create new partitions i did it all wrong. i have the wrong sizes for the wrong parts, also i tried to resize them loading the livecd but i cannot since i have my /home inside my extended [15:20] codecain: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [15:20] bazhang, yes it is :) [15:21] neuron, try sudo dhclient wlan0 in the terminal [15:21] Is the administrative password different from the root password? [15:21] after updating I can't insert png images in an openoffice document any longer. It says the the filter is missing [15:21] mikez0r, no root use sudo [15:21] mikez0r: root doesnt have a password in ubuntu, the root account is locked [15:21] mikearr, it's the same as your password, by default there is no root password [15:22] !sudo [15:22] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [15:22] sigh [15:22] ok [15:22] bazhang, if this is relevant, at the beginning it said: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 [15:22] you can set one if you like [15:22] i have a question about stopping and starting services [15:22] <|chiz|> ringer: can you just delete the new partitions and then try it again? rather than tring to resize? [15:22] neuron, yeah no worries-->any dhcpoffers? [15:23] !ask | platinum [15:23] platinum: 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. :-) [15:23] why does can i not /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [15:23] platinum: you need to use sudo [15:23] ikonia: you said: (1) LOWER_CASE: that fstab is a mess, it's hard to see what's what (2) it also makes no sense that /dev/sdb is listed as a cdrom, yet there is also partitions in /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 [15:23] bazhang: No DHCPOFFERS received :( [15:23] |chiz| you mean completely reformat and do it a clean install again? [15:23] sup all [15:23] ubottu: 10/4 [15:23] Factoid 10/4 not found [15:23] ikonia: (1) Yes, it's hard to see what's what: it's just gotten worse in the last few weeks. (2) *I* didn't put the CDROM in there. [15:23] |chiz| you should know i am dual booting xp [15:24] Here's a question: Where can I find what the installer does when installing to a new, clean system? Then I can copy this to fstab, and touch-wood, I'll be saved from going mad(der). [15:24] neuron, you need to set the essid either in network manager or via the command line--try in network manager first [15:24] vlet: thanks, that make's sense [15:24] I cant get sudoers to work: I added this to my file - "andy ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hddtemp". And when i do "/usr/sbin/hddtemp /dev/sda" it gives me permission denied?? [15:24] mgo: the echo stuff ain't working, but the ubuntu forum thread looks promising. Shifting to that. Thanks for your help. [15:24] LOWER_CASE: the install puts the partitons you told him about into the fstab file+the cdrom drive [15:24] hello [15:24] hi [15:24] I' [15:24] Andycas: did you use visudo to edit the file? [15:25] bazhang, isnt there a wireless.opt that can be set also? [15:25] <|chiz|> ringer: well you said that you made some new ones when you upgraded or tried to upgrade [15:25] !enter | Devistator [15:25] Andycas: did you type sudo before that? [15:25] Devistator: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:25] i have a q, how do i autostart efficiently software in ubuntu like skype, messenger and other, i am sure there is many ways to do that but i am looking for the best one ;p [15:25] anybody know a good video card for hardy? thats nvidia I want to upgrade [15:25] bazhang, ok, under network settings, wireless, you want me to put the ID in there? [15:25] hello, i have installed ubuntu to the laptop of a friend, and he loves it except two things, the first one is that wireless is not working. I suspect that the card is not supported, because that dropdown menu on gnome that i can activate wireless in my computer, on his just sais wired. How can be assured? his laptop model is HP G7000 [15:25] mgolisch: but I didn't do an *install* ----- I did an *upgrade* [15:25] frytek: use the session management of gnome [15:25] mgolisch: yeah, then it prompts for pswd [15:25] the router name (essid) yes whatever you named it [15:25] LOWER_CASE: to a tidy up, clear out as much as possibly, then work forward [15:25] LOWER_CASE: "do" a tidy up that should read [15:25] plutonas, you have to check what card it is and then see how you have to configure it [15:25] Andycas: maybe the line you have there is invalid [15:26] :-) [15:26] vlet: it still dos not wor [15:26] |chiz| can i show you what my partitions look like on a private chat thing? [15:26] k [15:26] !wireless | plutonas [15:26] plutonas: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:26] Andycas: did you use visudo to edit the file? [15:26] mgolisch: ill try rebooting [15:26] neuron, so if the name is homewifi that would be your essid [15:26] The Gutsy *upgrade* changed things from /dev/hdAN to /dev/sdAN, and that was just the start of my disk problems. [15:26] rexy_: its broadcom i think [15:26] dooftart? lol [15:26] LOWER_CASE: use uuid [15:26] Vlet: no, i couldnt understand how it worked. It actually corrupted my file, i just used nano [15:26] plutonas, they are notorious, think the wiki deals with installing those though [15:26] LOWER_CASE: thats been said multiple times [15:26] <|chiz|> ringer: sure or you could pastebin them [15:27] Devistator, this is ubuntu support do you have a support question [15:27] How to send pm like ubotu messages for someone? [15:27] bazhang, yeah, I've entered it, now what? :) [15:27] what does logwatch do if invoked without arguments? [15:27] neuron, try the sudo dhclient wlan0 again [15:27] anyone was able to patch rt73 wireless driver in hardy ? [15:27] Andycas: did you use visudo to edit the file? [15:27] sdx: try it! === hwilde_ is now known as hwilde [15:28] Vlet: no [15:28] Vlet: i used nano [15:28] Andycas: you have to@ [15:28] LOWER_CASE, in a perfect world, linux upgrades would work fine. but they dont. back up your important files and do a clean install. it will be faster than and cheaper than the hair club for men after you tear all your hair out [15:28] mgolisch, i tried. i can't figure out [15:28] hey [15:28] sdx: what does happen? [15:28] penis [15:28] l [15:28] l [15:28] rutgermasi: someway windows recorded boot file in the 3rd partition [15:28] l [15:28] Devistator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:28] Vlet: But it doesnt display characters correct, also i cant use arrows to move...... [15:28] sdfgdf, not here please [15:28] soory [15:28] and then copied the install files to the 4th [15:28] mgolisch, i just get back to the shell [15:29] i cant understand [15:29] I wanna donwnload free cedega [15:29] muted? [15:29] moon_: it is not free [15:29] moon_, it's commerical software [15:29] moon_, it is not free [15:29] fdghd [15:29] |chiz| i think i will just reload and delete my existing partitions, thanks for your help sir [15:29] there is "free" cedega too [15:29] <|chiz|> ringer: ok [15:29] i think? [15:29] i have cedega source [15:29] bazhang, same, no offers :( [15:29] wine lartza_ [15:29] lartza_, there is wine [15:29] cedega cvs [15:30] There is no way to use free ?? [15:30] sdx: i guess it will read its config file [15:30] lartza_, yeah transgaming makes a cvs tree availeable [15:30] uhm, trying to get my iSight working here, but ift-extract complains about the firmware not having the right length [15:30] lartza_, but that also has certain features missing [15:30] !piracy | moon_ [15:30] moon_: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [15:30] Andycas: execute this first: export EDITOR=nano [15:30] anyone else has had this problem with iSight? [15:30] What are some cool hacks I can do easily? [15:30] bazhang, it's a legit question, but offtopic for ubunti. but there is a somewhat freely licensed cvs version availeable [15:30] neuron, what does iwconfig show for essid [15:30] penis [15:30] Devistator: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:30] okey [15:30] tnx all [15:31] ^^^ lol [15:31] lartza_, ikonia, rutgermasi: i'm trying to install vista in the 3rd partition, now with the 4th deleted [15:31] node.net [15:31] rexy_, yeah, but he seemed to be in the piracy category [15:31] bazhang, that shows the correct name for the network! \o/ [15:31] Vlet: what does it do? [15:31] neuron, try the command again then--sometimes takes a couple [15:32] neuron and other thing u can do is set ur network manager in roaming mode and select ur network from the drop down menu [15:32] Andycas: it changes the editor that visudo uses to nano (a more 'normal' editor) [15:32] why would I get a "-bash: bind9: command not found" when trying to stop the service. it is in the dir tough???? [15:32] though === chamunks is now known as weix [15:32] Andycas: if you don't use visudo, the changes you make don't take effect until you restart [15:32] platinum, prefix with ./ [15:32] platinum, and make sure it's executeable [15:32] Vlet: Well when i use visudo after that command, it still looks the same... [15:33] platinum: sudo chmod +x [file] [15:33] Andycas: okay fine, save it and NOW it will take effect [15:33] platinum, if a directory is not in the search path you have to specify the full path or the path relative to your current location, so if you're in the dir that's ./, if you are in the root thats /dir/to/binary/bind9 [15:33] platinum: and then ./[file] [15:33] I've been having troubles with my audio playback and capture since hardy is this something thats been coming up alot lately would someone be able to give me an idea as to why its happening? [15:33] Andycas: visudo is a script that launches the editor, but THEN updates the system after you close the editor [15:34] this guy is back? [15:34] any body have book about wine [15:34] flashwolf:rexy_: awesome, thanks [15:34] #winehq can help moon_ [15:34] np [15:35] moon_: http://winehq.org/site/howto [15:35] Hey I need some suggestions: Im buying a new laptop and I need to transfer a Massive load of data into it, (from backup files).

[15:37] Hello, I was wondering if it was possible / ethically correct to register a project on launchpad.net for translations [15:37] i had to delete the 3rd [15:37] My project is *not* open source [15:37] Andycas: that means you're still using vi as your editor, not nano [15:37] FlashWolf, ok :) [15:37] Andycas: did you "export EDITOR=nano"? [15:37] Elvanor, not OSS? seems doubtful and ot here [15:38] ubuntu 8.04 : is there a way to find out how many tabs are open in one FF window? [15:38] hello. ive got a problem. ubuntu cant control sound with software [15:38] FlashWolf, but now is your files-partition gone? [15:38] It's rather a proprietary website, but I need to find some OSS translation tools [15:38] i got what may be a stupid question...how do i allow my user access to bind port 80? [15:38] i understand that only root users can normally bind ports <1000 [15:38] bazhang: yes, although underneath my whole software stack is OSS [15:38] Vlet: Yes [15:38] m1r: maybe there's an addons.mozilla.org [15:38] ivaynberg_, only root can [15:38] bazhang: and I only use OSS software [15:38] rutgermasi: cuz windows was recording boot data in the 3rd and installation files in the 4th [15:38] rexy_, there is absolutely no way around it? [15:38] Vlet: tnx , i recheck [15:38] rutgermasi: yah, i had to delete it... [15:38] gordonjcp, Hotei again [15:38] has anyone installed the _alsa pulse_ plugin?

[15:41] <_adriaan> white_eagle: first of all, type "ls -l /home" in your terminal [15:41] before launching minicom $LANG=posix [15:41] vahid /join #winehq thanks [15:41] minicom [15:41] how do I change the screen brightness? I am using Ubuntu 8.04. [15:41] laeg, apt-cache policy [15:41] laeg: dpkg -l|grep searchstring [15:41] and i get the above garbage [15:41] any ideas? [15:41] laeg: Yes there is, sudo apt-get install [15:41] _adriaan: I have 3 folders there (3 users) [15:41] Hote1, yes, pastebin next time :) [15:42] _adriaan: I am the user 'whiteeagle' [15:42] laeg, sorry, didnt read your last messages [15:42] rutgermasi: nps ty [15:42] rexy_, mgolisch: ty guys [15:42] ok, so you want me to put it to the paste bin [15:42] phoenix5002, do your laptop brightness keys work? [15:42] i have to start writing these things down on a cheat sheet :) [15:42] I got that, sorry second time I have been in the channel [15:42] laeg: use solution rexy gave u [15:42] <_adriaan> white_eagle: okay, the line should start with something like drwxr-xr-x [15:42] can I talk now? [15:42] yup [15:42] cool [15:42] Devistator, if you are on topic [15:42] laeg: you ll get used to if you use debian based distros for a while [15:42] I was wondering if anybody had any insight concerning progress with Realtek wireless drivers; specificially for a Realtek card in a Toshiba A215 [15:42] ds [15:43] <_adriaan> white_eagle: what does it say for your folder? [15:43] rexy_: no. it used to use the "Fn" key when I had windows but now that key combination doesn't do anything. [15:43] oh, got it [15:43] !msg laeg you will learn when you use it enough [15:43] lartza_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:43] _adriaan: it starts with drwxrwxrwx [15:43] <_adriaan> okay [15:43] what is the topic? [15:43] lartza_: ty :) [15:43] /topic [15:43] Vlet: But how to change editor to nano then? export command doesnt seem to work [15:43] how do i burn .wmv to cd-r so that it will play in a cd-r compatable dvd player? [15:43] ubuntu support Devistator [15:43] <_adriaan> type the command: sudo go-w /home/whiteeagle [15:43] Vlet: Doesnt give any output in my terminal atleast.. [15:43] chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Devistator [15:43] hey all, I am trying to setup key authentication for ssh on ubuntu...and I am getting "server refused our key"...can someone help [15:43] Hello ! I m trying to get a Matrox "Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400/G450 (rev 85)" working on xorg 7.3 with dual-screen. The man page of the driver seems to be outdated. Is this working with randr ? Do I need the binary lib of Maxtrox (HALLib) ?? [15:43] k20a, burn it as vcd [15:44] phoenix5002, did you check if the laptop is supported? google for the name in the ubuntu wiki [15:44] rexy_, mgolisch, rutgermasi: i prefer dpkg 0l|grep string than apt-cache policy because the latter doesn't seem to allow me to use a string and wants the entire package name [15:44] <_adriaan> white_eagle: because you should be the only user with write access to your home directory [15:44] Andycas: I don't know, so either you google for it, or you wait for me to do it for you [15:44] laeg, yeah that way is easier [15:44] :D [15:44] _adriaan: I get sudo: go-w: command not found [15:44] <_adriaan> oh [15:44] <_adriaan> -_- [15:44] _adriaan: Error: "_-" is not a valid command. [15:44] laeg, or quicker at least to check if it's installed [15:44] Vlet: ill wait :) [15:44] <_adriaan> white_eagle: sudo chmod go-w /home/whiteeagle [15:44] <_adriaan> sorry [15:44] Andycas: no, you'll learn to find your own info [15:45] rexy_: should I also include the model number in my search? or is "sony vaio laptop" good enough? [15:45] ikonia, mgolisch, shadowjack: thanks: I will try the tools described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks. Next time, a big red label would be nice: "Warning: Your /dev/hd** disks will be subjugated and now be called /dev/sd**." Thanks for putting up with my newbie questions. BFN [15:45] ahoy all [15:45] laeg, dpkg -l | grep name | xargs apt-cache policy :P? [15:45] _adriaan: should it be ok now? [15:45] no7up4u2 i can't seem to find a way to do that in k3b what app do i use to make a vcd? [15:45] _adriaan: or should I do something else [15:45] <_adriaan> white_eagle: I would think so... [15:45] Andycas: hint: run "man sudo" [15:45] #Xubuntu [15:45] _adriaan: ok, I will restart the x server now [15:45] bye [15:45] Is there a rule against unauthorized bots in this channel? [15:45] phoenix5002, no you need to include especially the model number [15:45] Followed the Perfect Server Setup to a tee, and when I try to install ISPConfig, I get the following error ---> http://pastebin.com/db8f0350 can someone help me out plz [15:45] <_adriaan> white_eagle: at least your permission are set up correctly now [15:45] phoenix5002, they make a lot of laptops ;) [15:45] k20a, never done one in ubuntu yet but im sure google can help u on that [15:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11856/ [15:46] yeah thanks for vcd atleast :) [15:46] adam7: effectively, yes. if they speak, or make any noise at all, both the bot and bot owner will be removed from the channel. [15:46] k20a, yeah thats all i got for you srrry [15:46] Anybody have any good news about Realtek wireless driver progress being made for linux?? [15:46] rexy_: ok I did both, and my model isn't in there. but there is one model number that is close. mine is "PCG-K45" and there is an entry for "PCG-K23" [15:47] does anyone has a good doc on sshd...I generate a key using putty-keygen [15:47] I just switched over from Fedora. How do I get apt to fetch and install all packages that have been updated? [15:47] import it and it not working [15:47] I just pasted the problem, what I have found, what I did and what my output was to http://paste.ubuntu.com/11856/. Anyone help me out with this? [15:47] djohngo: apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will do it i think [15:47] rexy_: RAWR! :) [15:48] djohngo, either synaptic add/remove or apt-get [15:48] phoenix5002, im not really up to speed on how backlights work, but if you have an ati card you can also set the brightness through atitool or aticonfig something [15:48] Hote1: sure you don't want to set $LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or something like that? [15:48] Is there a way to make a restore dvd in ubuntu? [15:48] how i use ESD? [15:48] !uck | no7 [15:48] no7: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [15:48] the problem is that there is a bug in minicom and it pukes on UTF settings [15:48] bazhang: thx! [15:48] Roshan-> do not forget that windows have extra chars on an ascii file, compare to an ascii text generated from linux [15:48] vahid, the sound daemon? [15:48] thk [15:48] Hote1: so then how about $LANG=en_US [15:49] oops no7up4u2 that was for you [15:49] is there a way I can run nautilus as Root so I can set up a share on a file? Right now I'm getting permission denied. [15:49] help me, im noob [15:49] akibono-> google is your friend [15:49] i want use esd [15:49] and I'd rather not exit X (and root has no passwd by default iirc) [15:49] bazhang, I figured god bless nick completion hehe [15:49] akibono, what is your question [15:49] rexy_: I do have ati, but I don't use their proprietary driver because I have problems with it, so I don't think aticonfig works [15:49] Trae: I dont recommend it but run in terminal: 'sudo nautilus' [15:49] I will try that [15:49] Trae: alt-F2 and type: gksu nautilus [15:49] phoenix5002, there's also another tool that works with the opensource drivers [15:49] rutgermasi: gksudo [15:50] Trae, gksudo nautilus [15:50] When I'm using normal Ubuntu 7.10 w/ Gnome, I can "suspend" my computer fine using the special suspend key on my keyboard. When I use my KDE 3.5 environment, the button doesn't do anything. Any ideas how to get it working? [15:50] phoenix5002, named something similarly [15:50] so the next question is, where is the lock file for /dev/ttyUSB0? [15:50] I need to open a .lit file [15:50] How to see what xorg is in use? [15:50] can somebody tell me what the default settings for system > prefs > sound are? [15:50] gksudo isnt necessary [15:50] locked me out [15:50] rexy_: would it be installed already or do I have to manually get it? [15:50] STSX, did you install kubuntu-desktop or just some kde packages? [15:50] laeg: These are all automatic and I think its different for each hardware configuration [15:50] tx guys! [15:50] #ubuntu++ [15:50] phoenix5002, dont think it comes installed by default, but it's in the repo i think [15:51] how i can disable pulseaudio [15:51] I've the program but it requires something called libtommath and I don't know how to install that :G [15:51] ? [15:51] I have a problem with hardy heron, sometimes applications, maybe just x apps, stop loading. Notably gnome-terminal, firefox and most importantly, the shutdown dialouge. Applications which were already running seem to work okay, but nothing new will load. [15:51] anybody know if this wil fun on hardy? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130286 [15:51] so I set the variable to LANG=en_US and I get the same garbage I did with POSIX [15:51] !sound | vahid [15:51] vahid: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:52] I have been working from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413934 provided by gordonjcp [15:52] vahid, in the sound settings you can select what sound subsystem to use. it is probably currently set to pulseaudio, you can change it to esd there and reboot, then it should use esd [15:52] Debian bug 413934 in minicom "minicom crashes if LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 is set - with LANG=POSIX it works fine" [Normal,Open] [15:52] hi all [15:52] and this is a fresh install [15:52] rexy_: well how does brightness changing normally work... I don't see a shortcut for it in the "keyboard shortcuts" for my system. [15:52] hi, are there any apps like Adobe Dreamweaver that will be able to open the same files? [15:52] When u upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 is ther a way to keep ur previous config intact (exemple: previously patch driver for wireless)? [15:52] codecain yes it will but you might want to get ati instead of nvidia because of the open source ati [15:52] amenado -> I did a compare and the keys are the same [15:53] I'm getting busybox at bootup, and they're mount errors .. I was being assisted by someone at UbuntuForums but it's been a week and I haven't gotten a reply, can someone please see my thread and help me out? [15:53] nvidia always been better open source then ati [15:53] rutgermasi: nps i am reinstalling later anyway ty [15:53] from the past ati its up there now? [15:53] Roshan-> are you sure? no extra carriage return? [15:53] yep [15:53] phoenix5002, it's a system function iirc, which is why it's not bound to normal keys. I dont think you can bind to FN-keys either [15:53] codecain ati has open source...nvidia is not [15:53] I even gen a local key [15:53] and same [15:53] no7up4u2: the driver probably won't survive a kernel upgrade, so you'll have to recompile it anyway [15:53] can you recommend a card that wil work with hdtv [15:53] Vlet: I cant seem to change the editor, every site gives the same editor=nano command [15:54] Does anyone know why gnome apps would suddenly stop loading? [15:54] !who [15:54] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:54] no7up4u2: unless it's provided by an ubuntu package, in which case it will probably be upgraded properly like everything else. [15:54] vahid: allegedly you just have to go into system > prefs > sound and select alsa from the list rather than pulse audio but that didn't work for me so i am now pursuing a different avenue === solexious1 is now known as solexious [15:54] Chousuke, yeah last time i tryed to updgrade my rt73 driver coulndt be patch in 8.04 same with ipwraw [15:54] no7up4u2: your settings won't be touched though. [15:55] so i downgraded back to 7.10 [15:55] codecain1 there is a motherboard with hdmi output its a biostar ta690g [15:55] no7up4u2: that's probably because the kernel is new. [15:55] i have 6 of them [15:55] no7up4u2: you need a new version of the driver too [15:55] I don't want to replace my motherboard though :/ [15:55] just upgraded my video card [15:55] well i dunno [15:55] rexy_: well is there any way to change screen brightness without using the keyboard? it seems like there should be a way, because if my laptop switches to battery power the screen dims the brightness, so it is capable, I think. [15:55] ubottu yes I have seen that, maybe I am not setting the language correctly. Before launching minicom, I am just entering LANG=POSIX on command line, then running minicom and I get the garbage posted to http://paste.ubuntu.com/11856/ [15:56] what is the correct way to set the language for minicom? [15:56] <|chiz|> codecain1: I'd look into nvidia stuff, then ati but I have a feeling nvidia will have better support for hdmi, at the moment anyways [15:56] phoenix5002, well at least that is working, the dimming is performed by the gnome-power-manager, you can fiddle with that by right clicking on the battery icon in the taskbar [15:56] I was thinking that to chiz [15:56] Andycas: does anything show up if you execute: echo $VISUAL [15:56] or the power cord, depending if you're plugged in or not [15:56] I want a nvidia card with hdtv support [15:57] amenado -> do you have a doc, I want to make sure I did not miss anything [15:57] I'm getting busybox at bootup, and they're mount errors .. I was being assisted by someone at UbuntuForums but it's been a week and I haven't gotten a reply, can someone please see my thread and help me out? [15:57] amenado -> I am using SSH2-RSA [15:57] Vlet: no [15:57] :) [15:57] <|chiz|> Danish989: can you link us? [15:57] rexy_: under gutsy that's how I used to change the brightness, but it seems in hardy that they removed the brightness slider.. :( [15:57] Andycas: well, I dunoh man - time to learn vi :) [15:57] [chiz] : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784592&page=2 [15:58] rexy: I installed all the KDE packages I thought I needed, but obviously not. :) So do I need anything else other than kubuntu-desktop? === KaragandineOFF is now known as Karagandinec [15:58] phoenix5002, well you can disable the dimming [15:58] rexy_: true, I guess that will have to do. Thank you for your help [15:58] phoenix5002, but other then adjusting it through the console tool i have no idea to how to get the fn keys working [15:59] 'ssh user@server' works with ssh keys but 'sudo ssh user@server' asks for a non-exsistant password for user.. is there any way around this? [15:59] jdavies, sudo asks for your password [15:59] jdavies, but ssh'ing somewhere as root is generally a bad idea [15:59] jdehlin_: why would you run ssh through sudo? [16:00] jdavies, also when you sudo you run as root, so you would have to setup keys for root to autologon [16:00] yes it asks for my password for the user on the machine but it should be asking for the password of the user I'm sshing in as [16:00] Vlet: I dont understand, i must be doing something wrong then? [16:00] Roshan-> sorry i have to attend to a task right now [16:00] rexy: Is the kubuntu-desktop compatible with KDE 3.5, or only 4.0? [16:00] ok, i may catch hell for this... but i'm in the process of switching from windows to linux. i've been trying my damnedest to install a game for my wife, and we can't figure out what we're doing wrong. there is no entry in the package mngr, and the terminal ends up giving me a segmentation fault. i would really appreciate any help. === bamed is now known as bamed|away [16:00] Which is more popular with Ubuntu, wired or wireless stuff? [16:00] STSX, dunno, think hardy by default does not use kde4.0 [16:00] Thats not the goal.. just a demonstration of whats not working.. I need to get apt sources using ssh so my keys can be used [16:01] Andycas: what does "export | grep SHELL" print out? [16:01] you can't sudo apt-get update without sudo [16:01] I'm getting busybox at bootup, and they're mount errors .. I was being assisted by someone at UbuntuForums but it's been a week and I haven't gotten a reply, can someone please see my thread and help me out? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784592&page=2 [16:01] msg amenado thans [16:01] jdavies, if you want to sudo to another user then root you have to specify the user with -u user, is that what you mean? [16:01] why is the drop down box in system > prefs > sound > not large enough to list the options? the text runs outside of the box and i cannot discern what each one is [16:02] jdehlin_: if you run anything with 'sudo' at the beginning, it's going to ask for your password, so if you run "sudo ssh user@host.com" it's going to first ask for YOUR username to get past 'sudo' then for the password of 'user' on the machine 'host.com' [16:02] laeg, on 800x600 resolution? [16:02] rexy_: 1280x1024 [16:02] so close no matter how far oO.. does anyone know when a new hal-update is being released_ [16:02] odd should be big enough [16:02] i will take a screenie for your viewing pleasure! [16:02] hello [16:02] is there a Wubi channel ? [16:03] Vlet: declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" [16:03] cya [16:03] is there any bug that ubuntu can't exec the cdroms (hda and hdb)? [16:03] hello bazhang [16:03] Vlet, it asks for the first one for the local user which is fine.. the second user (the one I'm sshing in as) should be handled with ssh keys though [16:03] facilitador, hi ") [16:03] I found the language he needed [16:04] jdehlin, hmm maybe paths arent set correctly so it cant find the keys perhaps? [16:04] nice going facilitador :) [16:04] for visual programming is "gambas" [16:04] thanks for you help [16:04] jdehlin_: no, if you're using sudo to run the command then it's no longer using the keys your set up - it's likely looking in /root/.ssh/ for keys instead of /home/you/.ssh/ [16:04] rexy_, the keys work fine if I do 'ssh user@server'.. logs in without password prompt [16:04] Any wireless nic users here? [16:05] Vlet, ohhh.. genius [16:05] i am newair [16:05] jdehlin_: :) ... why run ssh as sudo anyway? [16:05] rexy_: http://i27.tinypic.com/2yno2mp.jpg - it wouldn't allow me to take the screenie with the drop down box open [16:05] newair, please ask [16:06] must be a big question hehe [16:06] is there a Wubi channel ? [16:06] :) [16:06] no7, Is it just me or is there just a handful of compatible nics for ubuntu? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [16:06] jdehlin_: if you want to 'be root' on the server into which you are ssh-ing, you need to wait for the connection, then run sudo ON the server, not beforehand [16:06] Vlet, it's not ssh that I need to run as sudo.. I changed my sources.list sources to use ssh://user@mirror instead of http.. so when I run 'sudo apt-get update' it doesn't use my keys as it does when I just 'ssh user@mirror' [16:06] nah most of them are compatiple at some extend [16:07] jdehlin_: ahh :) [16:07] Danish989: best wubi info I found was on the web [16:07] !wubi | Danish989 [16:07] Danish989: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [16:07] Vlet: declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" [16:07] How can i connect to a wireless 802.1x connection? (the connection uses wep or wpa) [16:07] Vlet, I was just using ssh as an example of how it wasn't working.. just showing that when throwing sudo in the keys don't work.. I think your suggestion should help me out a lot though.. thanks [16:07] Andycas: yep, same as mine. Not sure why it's not working. Just use vi [16:08] shadu theres a way but not so legal so i wont say [16:08] Hi, Just a quick question. I'm running 8.04 on a laptop, and when I tell i to shutdown - after it's finished doing all it's stuff and it would /normally/ power off the machine, the screen goes bright white, and starts to fade in random patterns. Also it doesn't power off afterwards. [16:08] jdehlin_: yeah, I see... perhaps: sudo ln -s /home/you/.ssh /root/.ssh would solve the problem :) [16:08] no7up4u2: lol just tell me, i need it for my school.. or i gotta boot vista :( [16:08] What brands have been known to work wireless nics? [16:08] I've got a commandline comp, how do I upgrade it? [16:08] ubottu, !paste [16:08] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [16:09] Ollie: pyschadelic - i had a similar problem but only with 7.04 - which version are you running? [16:09] hi everyone - I'm having a problem with php files - my browser is deciding to tryin and open with rather than process the file [16:09] 8.04 [16:09] shadu ::cough::boycottwep.org:: may help but i do not think its right to invade some's wireless network [16:09] majikins: on several websites? [16:09] majikins, you have to tell apache to process php files probably [16:09] local [16:09] laeg: it doesn't even look like something the screen would normally be capable of displaying... I'm not even sure what I'm seeing... I hope it doesn't damage the LCD? [16:09] majikins: that's not a problemw with php. it's a problem with your apache config not treating .php files as scripts [16:09] Danish989, no. if you need assistance with wubi ask in here [16:09] yes - it was kinda working before [16:09] majikins, yeah you probably need to edit your .htacces file [16:10] majikins: then you probably don't have php installed in apache [16:10] another web browser??? Firefox 3 beta probably shouldn't have been the main Hardy browser [16:10] no7up4u2: lol its your site :P [16:10] where do I find that? [16:10] newair, i use wusb54gc and wg511t and the build in centrino and all work smoothly [16:10] <[T]an2> could anyone recommend a good pptp client for gnome? [16:10] DShepherd: I'm getting busybox at bootup, and they're mount errors .. I was being assisted by someone at UbuntuForums but it's been a week and I haven't gotten a reply, can someone please see my thread and help me out? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784592&page=2 [16:10] any recommendations for web browsers? [16:10] yess [16:10] oh, on 64bit. :) [16:11] majikins: sudo apt-get install php5 [16:11] shane2peru: firefox.... 2? [16:11] on 64bit? [16:11] I have installed php5 apache2 libapche2-mod-php5 [16:11] Ephiany?

I'm running 8.04 on a laptop, and when I tell i to shutdown - after it's finished doing all it's stuff and it would /normally/ power off the machine, the screen goes bright white, and starts to fade in random patterns. Also it doesn't power off afterwards. [16:12] shadu that would be the right thing to do [16:13] i need wine IRC [16:13] mgolisch, I guess I'm too simple minded, ff2, has memory problems, and ff3 just stops responding and I have to give it a few minutes to catch up with me, just minor annoyances. :) [16:13] weix: #samba maybe?

It boots up just enough to show the BG, and then hangs there forever (or at least overnight, which is forever-enough). Anybody have an idea what the problem might be? [16:50] Znuff, but he's open the video, and the player not xD [16:50] laeg, http://www.pulseaudio.org/ [16:50] ShadowBelmolve, like I said, try with mplayer or xine :) [16:50] hola a todos [16:50] doktoreas, yup [16:50] yeah mplayer ftw.

The specific question I have is, what has changed between versions which would affect how the keyboard functions?

[16:59] it has all its cache files open [16:59] benanzo, if you dont need it, why not remove it? apt [16:59] i also disabled tracker in session and indexing prefs, and it's still starting [16:59] benanzo: check your session startup programs perhaps [16:59] makkbe: ah... it's giving errors about templates in /tmp/openssh-server.template.* so maybe I should delete those [16:59] because it's depended on by ubuntu-desktop -- I'd like to keep a sane system but just disable it [16:59] nope they're clean [16:59] Vlet: yes I've done that [16:59] Evilyn, I had a similar problem with an old K6-2, but I guess you have something more modern ;) [16:59] osfameron, please be specific as to which errors -- pastebin if needed [17:00] Hi [17:00] hi === Norrisl^College is now known as Norrisl [17:00] i need help [17:00] Bodsda: it's one long line [17:00] serengeti: Sadly, some random piece of junk Dell desktop, since it's a work system [17:00] Bodsda: openssh-server Template parse error: Template #4 in /tmp/openssh-server.template.127120 has a duplicate field "template" with new value "ssh/vulnerable_host_keys".

It installs them all except openssh-server and openssh-client, these are "held back"? How can I get these installed? I beliebe apt-get dist-upgrade might work, but I don't want to try it if there is any risk that it will actually try to upgrade my distro from feisty! [17:00] osfameron, so chek the file for this 'duplicate field' [17:01] I've guess I have to resort to killing it via a script at login.

[17:48] what about removing gnome-panel fyrfry [17:48] Jack_Sparrow: yes, the clutter repo =D [17:48] i'm just learning html, i just finished the tutorial in w3schools, should i go on to learn xhtml ? or learn css? [17:48] jaffarkelshac I've thought about that, but was wanting a different method [17:49] jaffarkeshac quite dangerous [17:49] noodles12: ask in #web [17:49] warmx I could just killall gnome-panel [17:49] warmx but I'd have to do that everytime I boot, no? [17:49] it restarts fyrfry [17:49] oh well, I'll just leave the little stump of a panel there just in case [17:49] fyrfry no you can manage it in session manager [17:49] thanks for the suggestions anyways [17:50] Hey there guys, how can I setup a mounted drive to be writable?

[17:50] anyone know of any streaming applications, like shoutcast that have an intuitive way to configure the sound properties? [17:50] seb962: is it NTFS? [17:50] no you can do pkill gnome-panel [17:50] seb962: windows? [17:50] How do I make my panel at the top look like this: http://images.howtoforge.com/images/mac4lin/Mac4Lin%20Documentation_html_m2ad3b0cf.jpg [17:50] majikins you mean linke in windows? [17:50] ie when I click on the file it opens a specfic file and in a specific location [17:50] nope ubuntu [17:50] The file system appears to be Vfat [17:51] Is anyone having trouble with a recent update to openssh-server packeage?? [17:51] windmill: What sort of trouble? [17:51] But It should be Nfts, it's my linux / windows swap drive. [17:51] majikins... maybe a launcher [17:51] Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11884/ [17:51] That kind of... :P [17:51] ah [17:51] At least I have that kind of problem.

[17:52] Pici, apt tells me about broken package [17:52] Vlet: I have followed that guide and got everything working except theres no instructions on how to change the panel. === ifconfig is now known as Fallos_XXL [17:52] smb://ip works for me nubunt2 [17:52] its already possible to undelete from a shift+delete in the ext3? [17:52] let me try [17:52] majikins answer in private chat [17:53] warmx: getting error of private message [17:53] windmill: You mean that openssh-server is broken package? [17:53] Ubuntu r0cks... [17:53] And it is not problem only for me? === ifconfig is now known as Fallos_XXL [17:53] majikins ok [17:53] majikins [17:53] majikins however [17:53] Stargazers, yes [17:53] no workie [17:53] majikins right click your desktop, the click create launcher [17:53] Oh, great. Well, actually, not great, but I just thoght that I'm just too stupid to make it work somehow :D [17:53] *thought [17:53] its xubuntu [17:53] Stargazers, Pici the update manager tells me software index is broken now [17:53] hi [17:53] i can't get googleearth to start on kubuntu 8.04 amd64. no matter the version or how it installed, it segfaults [17:54] Stargazers, i have that exact problem, in hardy the upgrade works just fine tho [17:54] Well can someone tell me how to get Avant Window Manager to launch on startup? [17:54] and I can't - only get a set menu! [17:54] its already possible to undelete from a shift+delete in the ext3 file format? [17:54] Stargazers, Pici : It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first. [17:54] windmill: Didn't help. [17:54] you entered that in nautilus not in terminal right? nubunt2 [17:54] Surely, it let me install other softwares. [17:54] (I'll rephrase the question) I'm running a dual boot computer, with 1 partition for linux, other for windows, and a common ntfs partition which I use to store files from both instalations. However, when trying to access this partition from windows, it comes up as " read only " and I can't disable it. Any thoughts? [17:54] But not that package I need (openssh-server [17:54] not here either [17:55] seb962 try formatting the partition [17:55] Stargazers: windmill : Are you both on Gutsy? [17:55] And I don't want upgrade this computer to hardy because it's wlan it much worser than hardy in same usb-stick :S [17:55] Pici: At least I am. [17:55] Pici, yes [17:55] does anyone else has a serious problem with 2d-things with an ati hd3850 or higher with the proprietary drivers? Or does anyone know a solution? I'm on 8.04.. Desktop effects are superfast, but if theres just a progress bar or a firefox window or whatever it'S really really slow. Suggestions? [17:55] Can someone help with launching Avant Window Manager on startup? [17:56] nubunt2: what do you get when you do enter smb://ip-address in the address bar [17:56] Andre1: go to System->Preferences->Sessions [17:56] Andre1: just add it to your session [17:56] andrew___: you own a HILTI too? ;) [17:56] So, it seems that I can't fix that package problem anyway? [17:57] ok this sucks - I'm trying to open a file via a specific location in firefox [17:57] Does anyone know of an FTP client that works well with Ubuntu that also supports editing files directly over the FTP connection with an editor of choice? [17:57] Stargazers: windmill: Looks like its a known issue and the devs are working to resolve it, I dont have any other information than that. [17:57] file only opens if it has http://localhost and path to file [17:57] Ok... [17:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11891/ [17:57] Andre1: then click "add", and in the "command" field just type in avant-window-navigator [17:57] Well, then I thinkj that I just have to upgrade to hardy and wish best that it won't crash my wlan working... [17:57] beli: no, but now I want one :) [17:57] when I add the full path to laucher, it says file does not exist [17:57] Andre1 follow the guide in private message [17:57] :S [17:57] Thanks. [17:58] andrew___: very nice tool :) === konsumer is now known as konbon [17:58] ;-) andre1 [17:58] Stargazers: windmill: let me see if I can get a link to the bug report so you two can see when its fixed [17:58] Is there a way i can change the ubuntu log in screen? [17:58] Well, I think I just upgrade to hardy because I have to make this computer work today :P [17:58] is there a way to create a link that puts in the http://localhost/path in firefox? [17:58] But thanks for the help! [17:58] Stargazers: Its working fine in Hardy :) [17:59] Goid to know that it is global problem. [17:59] konbon gdm themes [17:59] Does anyone know how to skin the panel of Ubuntu to look like OSx'x one. The Mac4lin guide doesn't. [17:59] Thanks [17:59] Any hardware/kernel geeks out there? I seem to have some problem with CPU frequency scaling. According to dmesg, the CPU is 4 core, 2.5GHz, 8 throttling states, yet according to cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies, it only supports 2.0 and 2.3 GHz. Any ideas? [17:59] ofcourse konbon system administrator login windows [17:59] Vlet: Any thoughts? [17:59] i just tried to install the updated openssh-server onto a gutsy system, but i'm getting an error about template parse error. anyone got any ideas? [17:59] anyone else having problems upgrading to the latest openssh-server? I'm getting errors about a template from dpkg [17:59] so, the package 4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3_all.deb is broken, yes? [17:59] Oh, very nice. Thanks. (ububtu #1) [17:59] konbon: its under local tab in the login window [17:59] JediMaster: yep [17:59] jibel: same here [18:00] knewt, on gutsy? I'm having the same issue [18:00] gumpish: good, not just me then [18:00] JediMaster: seems alot of people on gusty are [18:00] gumpish: 4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb here [18:00] JediMaster that was just covered, it is a known problem and they are now working on it [18:00] does anyone know if there's a way I can stop evdev from unloading when my BT mouse goes to sleep? [18:00] Jack_Sparrow: ta, just panicing a bit that if I log out I won't get my ssh session back (and the connection tends to drop the ssh session) [18:01] so really noone else with a nonworking hd3850? Well, 2d problems. [18:01] Does anyone know of an FTP client that works well with Ubuntu that also supports editing files directly over the FTP connection with an editor of choice? [18:01] aurel42: iirc some machines have settings for native throtteling in the bios....maybe you can expand the ranges there..just a guess [18:01] JediMaster ok [18:01] when upgrading openssh-server on gutsy, i get the error message; Template #4 in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/templates has a duplicate field "template" with new value "ssh/vulnerable_host_keys". Probably two templates are not properly separated by a lone newline. [18:01] AmishNinja: if you go Places->Connect to Server, you can browse an FTP share just like it's a folder on your desktop [18:01] jeremy_: is it gutsy only? this machine could do with upgrading to hardy anyhow [18:02] * knewt thinks someone should put the openssh-server template problem into the /topic *g* [18:02] JediMaster: my server is upgrading to hardy right now, my desktop which is gutsy got the upgrade just fine [18:02] We need ssh factoid === Pici changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Important: type « /msg ubottu etiquette » | Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | Gutsy openssh-server upgrade is broken, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/230003 [18:02] JediMaster: i meant hardy [18:02] Amish, either the client uses gvfs, or a workaround to edit files "directly" [18:02] does anyone know when the OpenSSH vulnerability is going to be added to the updates in the main repositories? [18:02] jeremy_: are you running ssh-server on the desktop, or just the client? [18:02] jeremy_: ta, just trying it on a hardy box now [18:03] I would think that would be a pretty big priority [18:03] SomeGuy: Its already there [18:03] Pici well done [18:03] Someguy, it is, are you using a mirror? [18:03] SomeGuy: already done, although there's a problem with the gutsy openssh-server [18:03] hmm, maybe it didn't push to all mirrors yet [18:03] yeah I am [18:03] By "directly" I just mean being able to edit the file on the server using my own programs... [18:03] knewt: srry meant the desktop is hardy and upgraded just fine [18:03] SomeGuy: wait a few hours if you're on 7.10 [18:03] jeremy_: ah [18:03] I'm on 8.04 [18:03] perhaps info about ubuntu being ownable should be in /topic so ppl will update? [18:03] 8.04 is fine? [18:03] jeremy_: yeah, openssh-server installs fine on hardy [18:03] there is fixed version for 8.04 amd64 yet? [18:03] The packages are being held back, and nobody wonders why? [18:03] AmishNinja: yep, the files on the FTP share will show up just like they're on your hard drive, and then you can use whatever program you want (gedit, etc) [18:04] gotcha. thanks! [18:04] beli, I don't remember seeing anything in the BIOS, but I'm planning a BIOS update as soon as I can get hold of a FLOPPY DISK. Damn, this is SO 20th century. [18:04] Kl4m: I thought the held-back was due to it being a new version with new functionality, not because it was "stopped" [18:04] oh well, I'll worry about it more when I get home [18:04] thanks guys [18:04] Kl4m: for a moment, sure. but the strength of the security problem overrides that [18:04] aurel42 :) biosupgrades should be done by flash devices nowadays ;) [18:04] hello [18:05] beli: I don't follow? [18:05] other than changing sources.list to hardy, and apt-get dist-upgrading, is there anything else I should do before a gutsy=>hardy upgrade, or any other way (no gui, running on a remote server) [18:05] beli: the problem is that dos doesnt support that proly [18:05] !upgrade [18:05] aurel42: floppy is sooooooo outdated [18:05] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:05] JediMaster: Thats not the proper way to upgrade, use sudo do-release upgrade instead. [18:05] Kl4m: ta [18:05] mgolisch: does isnt needed.....you just need a bios that supports it [18:05] its ok for that, and you can get bios updates on cd too, dos should boot fine from cd [18:05] s/does/DOS/ [18:05] biosflash is better imo [18:06] beli: indeed, but I'm not sure if there's another way. Perhaps a bootable USB stick or a DOS partition, but both is non-trivial to set up. [18:06] Hello, I already have a working bootloader, but I have no CD-ROM drive and I want to install ubuntu to a given partition. [18:06] Apparently, ASUS will nowadays allow you to flash the BIOS directly from Windows. That would be easy, I actually have a Wintendo partition on the machine. [18:06] aurel42: or buy a EEPROM burning toolkit and do it right from your shell :) [18:07] BUT... it's not an ASUS board. :) === Pici changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Important: type « /msg ubottu etiquette » | Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | Gutsy openssh-server upgrade is fixed, but may take a while to mirror [18:07] is skype 2.0.0.68-1 the latest version for ubuntu?

[18:52] InvisiblePinkUni: desktop [18:52] InvisiblePinkUni: I think to be honest with you, that many Ubuntu users don't really care, they just want good software that isn't meant to be paid for [18:52] I can't get the nvidia beta driver working under hardy amd64. GDM logs say that the glx module can't be loaded because it doesn't exist. I've tried commenting out/deleting the load modules section, yet X still attempts to load the module. Any ideas? [18:52] i dont know what to tell you cathartia i'm limited in my wireless experience [18:52] tgelter: don't use packages [18:52] wakka-wakka: Try "sudo shutdown -h now" in the terminal. It's a command line way of shutting down.

That's why I want them to taste "more" freedom. [18:53] well Debian [18:53] KomiaPoika: I installed via the NVIDIA-setup* script [18:53] I don't see why it would work manually but not at boot time.

[18:57] dury: do you have synaptic or something like it open? [18:57] after the progress bar turns black it just stays there.. all i have to do is touch the power off button, but other then that [18:57] it weont go itself [18:58] or is it possible to have custom resolution for framebuffer? [18:58] babolat, Ok. [18:58] KindOne: interesting - untouched hardy install, and I do [18:58] !fb | pen [18:58] pen: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [18:58] KomiaPoika: I'm not done reading yet, but I don't think this is relevant to my issue. I can install the driver just fine, the nvidia kernel module gets loaded just fine, just X won't load and it complains that the glx module can't be found [18:58] wakka-wakka: Do you have a live CD?

I tried to set RealTimeIsUniversal in XP to 1. But that doesn't seem to work. I checked that my BIOS is storing time in UTC, but windows seem not to adjust time according to my timezone. It displays UTC directly [18:58] dury: Another package manager program is open somewhere. [18:58] Pici, I have a widescreen, I want a different resolution than 1024x768 or 1280x1024 [18:58] wakka-wakka: Then we can see if its BIOS settings problem.

[19:00] hello randall [19:00] What I can't say that ubuntu stinks like a cunt? [19:00] wakka-wakka: Do complete update with synaptic, to make sure everything is OK first. [19:00] babolat, No match found [19:00] wy: one moment. i've done this before [19:00] Pici, but does it provide the function to use widescreen resolution? [19:00] babolat: thanks. you have dual boot? [19:00] pen: that was the problem i had, tried everything in the world, then went to change the resolution back and found the widescreen option. gave me all the correct resolution choices after that [19:00] R4ND4ll: Why do you want to troll?

[19:03] Pici: it's doing something, done it, and now [19:04] jaffarkelshac: try disabling it just to see if it fixes the problems you are having, and then turn it back on. then you know where to focus your attention [19:04] babolat: It doesn't give much info. I think it's not a ntp problem [19:04] wakka-wakka: Go to synaptic, click on "mark all upgrades" and then "apply" [19:04] i cant move my mouse slackpipe [19:04] Anyone knows how ubuntu/nautilus comes up with the names for your hard drives in the "places, removable media" menu..

I keep asking dumb questions all the time. dont worry :-) [19:05] InvisiblePinkUni: word ty =].. i marked them all, it said they marked, but the apply is still darkened [19:05] wy: why do you think it's not ntp? My timezone doesn't change. It just increments itself every after shutdown (by 3 hours each time i think) [19:05] hey guys, i'm trying to setup so that i can share internet(eth1) over my wifi, i followed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=335465 but when i type "sudo ifdown ath0 (name of card)" it tells me that "interface ath0 is not configured" [19:05] what do i need to do? [19:05] how do i logoff with terminal, i cant move my mouse [19:05] Andycas: you can get some info by running "sudo blkid" in a terminal.. or "cat /etc/mtab" [19:05] jaffarkelshac: that's a problem. is FoF still running? [19:06] no [19:06] helvete: is ath0 configured using /etc/network/interfaces? [19:06] I have updated from gutsy to hardy.

[19:07] Slart: thanks! [19:07] helvete: do you use networkmanager? then it isnt [19:07] Pici: rifgt [19:07] wy: it should be right even after loss of Internet connection.

All I get are the sizes as names.. I want something a bit more useful.. especially since the drives aren't really removable.. they are regular hard drives [19:08] wy: with that off the list, i dunno what to say but ntpdate worked for me. sorry ;) [19:08] Slart, I was hoping to do it through wget, but I suppose that will suffice.. thanks :) [19:09] hi gang [19:09] Slart: You can rename some of them. [19:09] It is `./configure && make && checkinstall` or `./configure && checkinstall`? [19:09] Slart: You can bookmark a few folders which then appear in the Places. Then you can rename them. [19:09] babolat: Oh... This stupid OS can't even get the time right [19:09] i'm trying to telnet to an address, but can't connect [19:09] wobblywu: well.. it's a workaround.. but I think it works.. there might be some wget voodoo you can do to make wget do it for you.. that program has so many switches and parameters it scares me =) [19:10] all other addresses work fine [19:10] wy: I think it's the other way around [19:10] what could be the reason for this? [19:10] amikrop: Follow the INSTALL directions and replace make install with check install [19:10] Vlet: What's that? [19:10] Soopa: May be it doesn't have telnet. [19:10] helvete: how did you setup the connecten then? [19:10] hi all [19:10] InvisiblePinkUni: well, it's a MUD, and I can get to it on my windows machine [19:10] but not linux [19:10] InvisiblePinkUni: I can't rename my drives.. I've tried that.. I guess I can bookmark them but then I'd still have all the drives AND my own bookmarks..

GDM logs say that the glx module can't be loaded because it doesn't exist. I've tried commenting out/deleting the load modules section, yet X still attempts to load the module. Any ideas?

Can ANYONE bring up a network alias without assigning an IP to it? [19:12] ciro: you can mount them as user readable by changing the line in /etc/fstab.. I don't know the syntax by heart.. do a "man mount" or "man fstab".. or you can change the drive permissions when it's mounted using chmod -R and chown -R [19:12] i.e. ifconfig eth0:0 up [19:12] InvisiblePinkUni: yes [19:12] Soopa: Where are machine A and ubuntu located? [19:12] Pici: ok suddenly [19:12] http://pastebin.com/m674d19dd [19:13] helvete: maybe its because ath0 is not up, try what happens if you do sudo ifup ath0 [19:13] Soopa: Within your internal network or anywhere else on internet?

FIrefox hung on something, so I tried to close it, but it didn't close completely, so I kept clicking the System Monitor trying to end/kill the Firefox process, which eventually caused the system monitor to hang. I managed to close the system monitor, did the same thing again, and the System Monitor and whole computer froze. [19:24] I rebooted, so far Firefox is working ok, but I tired opening the system monitor to take a look at it, and in the task bar it says it's opening, but then it just disappears.

[19:27] wakka-wakka: did you use the "-h" option with shutdown? [19:27] Slart: Just not a total noob is all. Know roughly where things are stored, just not how to fix things yet.

[19:41] tuxx: I just confirmed that installing Java from the repos does indeed work with Java programs embedded in Firefox [19:41] zytar77, mtab? h/o a sec [19:41] Slart: Before I do that, I might have made the gtk configuration method work. Would you suggest just adding the lines or attempt the GTK way? [19:41] wakka-wakka: But if you do daily work, etc, i dont suggest it. [19:41] the official Sun java [19:41] wakka-wakka: :-) [19:41] Hey there.. Anyone around here knows a good resource to learn about fstabs and whatever other things related to it?

[19:42] cool [19:42] InvisiblePinkUni: it is, and worse comes to worse i'll just reinstall.. i'm thinking of throwing 8.04 on it... while i have you, is there a way i could start 8.04 with my windows drive mounted like in 7.1 [19:42] niadh: try the gtk way first if you want.. if that fails you can always try this one later [19:42] djhash: tldp.org has good resources on almost all things linux. [19:42] zytar77, so the mtab file resets itself? [19:42] Slart: Right ok then, I'll apply these, restart X11 and see where we are after that. [19:42] InvisiblePinkUni: haha nah, i hear you.. this is a play toy, only thing i'll lose is music [19:42] InvisiblePinkUni: Thanks [19:42] hey people [19:43] tehdave, yeah mtab lists your currently mounted mounts [19:43] /server irc.embedded.ufcg.edu.br 6667 [19:43] hy [19:43] Is this where I can get some help regarding driver installation or ubuntu?

[19:45] correct [19:45] lol im having trouble installing a driver for my network card on my laptop [19:45] wakka-wakka: I think it can be done, but need to look around. [19:45] tuxx: I just remembered that I tried to compile a java program for class, and installed some of the recommended programs after running javac something.java [19:45] tehdave, yes [19:46] fluffman: ok :) [19:46] zytar77, Thanks :3 [19:46] soopaman: are you using a mirror for security updates?

[19:47] i'm noob at IRC too.. >_< [19:47] UbuntuNuub: yes [19:47] Ok, how do I group windows? [19:47] Christ, there are a whole lot of people in here. [19:47] UbuntuNuub: Are you /msg'ing me? [19:47] hello [19:48] I need some help for something really easy... [19:48] UbuntuNuub: I dont get any private msg's [19:48] ok Im in my Ubuntu terminal wanting to open a file so i type cd /boot/grub; ls and when it list the files i type ./menu.lst and it says permission denied [19:48] well...i clicked your nameand got a separate window aaah [19:48] mocamoca: just ask [19:48] My irssi can't handle this many people. >.< [19:48] i see. [19:48] Anyone here run multiple versions of firefox? [19:48] UbuntuNuub: you need to be registered to send msg's [19:48] i have downloaded a 'linux executable' dynamips-0.2.7-x86.bin - how do i correctly install it? there are no instructions [19:48] InvisiblePinkUni: He probs isnt regged with nick, so pms dont go through [19:48] oh, i see [19:48] Without intention I've deleted the folder "Documents" from my home directory [19:48] Prefix: Yes, most probably. [19:48] soopaman: I guess you should probably make sure you're using security.ubuntu.com for *-security repos [19:48] theaber: that would be you trying to run menu.lst. which is not what you do with that file. edit it instead. [19:48] UbuntuNuub: Just ask here. [19:48] I downloaded the binary, but when I run it, it says it can't find libmosjs.so, but it is in the current directory, and /usr/lib [19:48] okii [19:49] Slart: It's only partially worked, I've had to move my xorg.conf file in order to get a useable desktop again [19:49] thename.. you cant run menu.lst .. to edit it type..: sudo nano ./menu.lst [19:49] soopaman: the bug we were seeing was in 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3 as far as I can tell, and the very latest is 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.4 [19:49] laeg: make it executable first.. then just double click it.. or "./dynamips-0.2... etc" [19:49] the problem is that it's in the Trash but Ubuntu doesn't allow me neither delete it forever nor move the folder, just copy [19:49] UbuntuNuub: someone else might have had the same problem, or they might have solved it. More chance of getting it solved :-) [19:49] Well, Ive been wanting ubuntu on my Gateway mx6960 for the longest [19:49] niadh: move it? that sounds weird [19:49] UbuntuNuub: ok. [19:49] UbuntuNuub: Did you install ubuntu? [19:49] hey guys, pls somebody help me get firefox back running! it cant create a new profile but under sudo it runs fine? [19:50] but I always get driver issues, like now, I'm having difiulty installing a network driver for it., yeah its installed on top of XP. [19:50] laeg INstalling a bin file from someone you dont know and with no instructions is probably not a good idea [19:50] Slart: how do i make it an executable please/ [19:50] Jack_Sparrow: it's safe [19:50] What can I do at startup on 8.04 live cd to get it to NOT scan for sata drives? It cycles from sda to sdzz looking for sata drives, I only have ata [19:50] Slart: The graphical application messed something up, and I could not use the desktop to any degree to undo it, so I moved to a console and moved the file and allowed X11 to create a barebones one so I could bring the desktop back [19:50] Jack_Sparrow: cisco engineers everywhere use it [19:50] UbuntuNuub: Did you use Wubi to install? [19:50] yah [19:50] laeg: right click the file.. check the permissions-tab [19:50] the_corona: try killing all firefox: "killall firefox" or "killall firefox-bin" [19:50] hello everybody, does anybody know if there's any complication with the wireless card pcchips a530? [19:50] Slart: should i place it somewhere? [19:50] UbuntuNuub: Ok. [19:50] laeg: (sudo?) chmod +x file.bin [19:50] laeg then if that many people are using it there must be plenty of documentation on how to install it [19:51] thnx....tells me: firefox-bin: Kein Prozess beendet [19:51] UbuntuNuub: So you are unable to use the network card now. [19:51] niadh: ah.. so you're back with the almost empty xorg? [19:51] What I shall need is to open Trash as root, but I tried to do that and I failed... Because I couldn't find the Trash folder with nautilus [19:51] means no process was ended [19:51] Slart: Yeah [19:51] thanks nikin [19:51] UbuntuNuub: are you chatting from windows now? [19:51] i get error [19:51] Jack_Sparrow: see for yourself http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator#Download [19:51] directions say i have to log into root to unpack and install my driver, im using my macbook for IRC [19:51] i lost my ubuntu 7.10 installation cd. but have it installed on my machine. Would like to recreate the cd from the installed cd.

[19:51] hey question for you all, every time I try ./configure and it calls gcc I get error message C compiler cannot create executables - anyideas why [19:51] Slart: where is a logical place to locate it? [19:51] typhoon07: Install the build-essential package [19:52] Slart: Can try running it now [19:52] laeg: well.. you saved it somewhere when you downloaded it.. or?

[19:52] typhoon07: Yes [19:52] Slart: ya but that's just a dir i use for all downloads and is supposed to be temporary [19:52] UbuntuNuub: For root, in ubuntu you can do sudo. [19:52] Slart: where are other executables installed? [19:52] When anyone has a second, I was wondering if anyone has had issues with HTTP transfers after upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I currently cannot get any of my browsers (Firefox 3 Beta 5/Epiphany/Lynx) to load any web pages, but I can connect to IRC and other types of protocols. [19:52] fci_bobo: you cant read your windows partition with ubuntu? [19:52] UbuntuNuub: Can you give me the link for the directions? [19:52] laeg: it will probably install itself somewhere else [19:52] ubuntu-ers! what procedure should I use to get latest eclipse version (synaptic is giving older version)? [19:52] does someone know any vloopback replacement? [19:52] its a txt that came with my driver [19:53] laeg: if this isn't the case.. put it in /opt or something [19:53] lemme see if its viewable onlne [19:53] IkariShinju: wget www.ubuntu.com works or lynx ubuntu.com? [19:53] Neither do. [19:53] thorny_sun: mark all upgrades in synaptic and apply them. [19:53] Would like to recreate the .iso image from the installed OS on my PC. [19:53] rutgermasi you cant read your windows partition with ubuntu? no i mean that i can't login [19:53] Without intention I've deleted the folder "Documents" from my home directory. The problem is that it's in the Trash but Ubuntu doesn't allow me neither delete it forever nor move the folder, just copy. What I shall need is to open Trash as root, but I tried to do that and I failed... Because I couldn't find the Trash folder with nautilus, someone could help me...? [19:53] IkariShinji: no problems here.. clean hardy install [19:53] Slart: when i try to run it it says there is no application installed for this file type [19:53] is there a way to make ssh not wait around for child processes to finish, that is make something like echo 'sleep 5 &' | ssh localhost exit immediately? [19:53] Well, wget works. [19:53] UbuntuNuub: Otherwise post them in pastebin.com and give me a link. [19:53] !trash | mocamoca [19:53] mocamoca: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [19:53] Hrm. [19:53] I upgraded from Feisty. [19:53] anybody? pcchips a530 in ubuntu? works? [19:53] fci_bodo: you can, but what does windows say [19:53] Slart: i think it can only be used to open os images - i'll look into it - for now i will place it in opt - ty [19:53] okay [19:54] What can I do at startup on 8.04 live cd to get it to NOT scan for sata drives? It cycles from sda to sdzz looking for sata drives, I only have ata. After 30 mins of scanning drives , the install icon doesn't launch. [19:54] does anyone kno if i can get a voice synth to read me a block of text like in M$Office? [19:54] But I've been browsing for a few days, and this just happened today. [19:54] just a moment, and i appreciate your patience in all this. [19:54] InvisiblePinkUni: the problem is that synaptic is showing older version-- won't let me install latest version from eclipse [19:54] UbuntuNuub: No problemo. [19:54] laeg: it is an executable file.. binary.. right? [19:54] any one [19:54] if i run sudo firefox it starts normally [19:54] ?? [19:54] laeg: what happens if you open a terminal and run it from there? [19:54] thorny_sun: Oh ok. probably ubuntu repositories don't support new version yet. [19:55] i am running live cd right now and want to delete my old 7.10 partitions to install 8.04, how do i do this [19:55] 'ullo [19:55] rutgermasi nothin but starting up and nothin happen you know i added rootnoverify and chain loader with the wright partition and nothin happen [19:55] ringer: Don't you want anything from your old 7.10? [19:55] InvisiblePinkUni: so in that case-- what is the best way to pull in a version that ubuntu doesn't support yet? seems like there are several ways-- just wondering which is best [19:55] Slart: Right gotten xorg.conf reconfigured changed vesa for nvidia so I'll fling those lines into the monitor section and hope, if you have them again? [19:55] hey peeps anyone use NX here? [19:55] niadh: sure.. hang on [19:55] how do we regnerate a compormised ssh key from NX? [19:55] InvisiblePinkUni no i dont need anything from that. [19:55] niadh: and here's one for 1024x768 .... Modeline "1024x768" 65 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync [19:55] thorny_sun: Not sure myself, this happened for firefox in previous versions. [19:55] Anyone successfully running 8.04 on a ATA only no sata machine? [19:56] niadh: here's a modeline you can try Modeline "1280x1024" 108 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync [19:56] thorny_sun, its not the best i think, but i get that test packages from http://packages.debian.org or from vendor itself (compile it by myself) [19:56] do i have to enable java in my broswer somehow before I can use it? [19:56] skinnypup: i am [19:56] thorny_sun: check out wiki.ubuntu.com and search for eclipse page.

[19:56] boot [19:56] InvisiblePinkUni: Yup i am === dholbert_afk is now known as dholbert [19:56] InvisiblePinkUni: yeah-- already looked there -- it doesn't say [19:56] does going from 2gb to 4gb of memory cause the preload application to speed things up? like does the extra 2gb make a difference? [19:56] ringer: Then after you boot in the livecd, go to the partition editor, and you can delete the partition. [19:56] fci_bodo, sorry i have to go, please repeat your question here [19:56] slackpipe: were you haveing problems with it scanning for sata drives sda -sdzz on bootup of the install cd? [19:56] thorny_sun: Oh ok. [19:57] dholbert: Cool. [19:57] InvisiblePinkUni: yup :) [19:57] Uni: the plot just thickend [19:57] InvisiblePinkUni: i am trying, but my swap and extended partitions are locked or something and cannot be deleted [19:57] I have java installed, I have it enabled. Why can't I play yahoo games? [19:57] Sort of [19:57] ringer: Or reformat it to ext3 again. [19:57] skinnYPup: nope. picked them up fine, but it recognizes them as sda and sdb [19:57] ibleed: not noticable... you get more buffers and cache, and some lost ram on a 32 bit machine with 4 gb [19:57] Slart: This is my xorg.conf file now: http://pastebin.com/m7551fe0c [19:57] ringer: dont touch swap and extended partitions. [19:57] anyone use remastersys here? [19:57] slackpipe: thanks [19:58] hi i need help making my pc an ftp [19:58] ringer: Why do you want to delete the whole thing and install fresh? [19:58] i added the lines of windows in grub.conf but i can't login windows he just say starting up and hang on [19:58] dholbert: What language do you program in? [19:58] I'm using an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [19:58] I have java installed, I have it enabled. Why can't I play yahoo games? [19:58] niadh: looks right.. give it a try.. if it doesn't work, pastebin that log file again.. /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:58] InvisiblePinkUni: C++ mostly [19:58] -and I don't see a linux folder for that driver for that card. [19:58] UbuntuNuub: ok, what happened. === dholbert is now known as dholbert_lunch [19:58] Slart: Okies, here goes nothing.... again. [19:59] InvisiblePinkUni: because i was having sound problems and figured this was the best way to solve it. i was running 8.04 last night and it worked perfectly, i just messed up all my partitions and now i dont know what i am doing. [19:59] dholbert_lunch: great work. [19:59] hello, how do i set an environment variable so that it's picked up by applications started under gnome? Thanks. [19:59] Well, in a nutshell, where an I get a driver that will support that card, and how would I go about installing it? [19:59] skinnYPup: what exactly does yours say when it's doing that? [19:59] InvisiblePinkUni: so i would like to just reinstall and correct all of my partitions. [19:59] The other was just the ethernet card, and thats trivial. [20:00] ringer: Normally, you do all the partition stuff first and then install ubuntu. [20:00] Slart: Nope, am back down to 640 again now. :( [20:00] niadh: and the log file? [20:00] I have java installed, I have it enabled. Why can't I play yahoo games? [20:00] UbuntuNuub: Normally ubuntu supports Network cards out of the box. [20:00] ubottu: thanks a lot! it worked ;) [20:00] mocamoca: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:00] hello .. how do i configure my machine to be an ftp place so i can share files online [20:00] HOW TO create a .iso image of your installed linux distro? [20:00] InvisiblePinkUni: yeah i know, i was actually doing it manually with the partition editor while installing, but i messed it up through there [20:00] !clone | earthling_: perhaps there is something here... [20:00] earthling_: perhaps there is something here...: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [20:01] InsiviblePinkUni: I've ran into this problem before, it doesn't seem to recognize this one, and its a popular one for Gateway laptops.. [20:01] ringer: If you use liveCD you should be able to delete all partitions. [20:01] Slart: Log file is here: http://pastebin.com/m7cd5074f [20:01] UbuntuNuub: Oh ok. [20:01] hey, how can I remove prompting of sudo password? hardy [20:01] aiduciukas: That's a really bad idea. [20:01] maybe [20:01] Why would you want to remove prompting for the password? [20:02] UbuntuNuub: try connecting to a wired network. You should be notified of new drivers that can be automatically installed [20:02] slackpipe: rejecting I/O to offline device 6 times in a row, then Asking for cache datafailed, Assuming the drive cache: write through. I could deal with that on boot but the install script not runing ... same on U X and K 8.04 [20:02] but whatever, how? [20:02] Ah, ok, lemme try that now. [20:02] UbuntuNuub: Is it wireless? [20:02] Aye, it is. [20:02] UbuntuNuub: ok. [20:02] hey what's the name of the beginners channel? [20:02] aiduciukas: I don't know how, but I know if you removed it it's not likely you'd be able to achieve the tasks you set out to perform [20:02] slackpipe: it repeates those three messages for sda-sdzz every drive designation [20:03] I'll connect with a cat5 to my router now, to see if it will work. [20:03] aiduciukas: A better idea might be to just extend the sudo expire time, so it prompts less often. [20:03] Jburrke: We answer all types of questions here. [20:03] UbuntuNuub: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=705266 [20:03] patifa, how? [20:03] supp, i check, and I am usng the appropriate security repos, but i'm still unable to fix the ssh on that machine [20:03] UbuntuNuub: There's a link that might help. [20:04] InvisiblePinkUni: i have my xp partition and an extended and swap partitions, what should i do during installation [20:04] Pici: i know, but i assumed that one may be a bit less packed so i could actually read my answers XD [20:04] hi [20:04] is there a command to rebuild fstab automatically? [20:04] Pici: this ones so full it's just hard to read XD [20:04] skinnYPup: I had a similiar issue installing to a laptop a while back with fiesty. IIRC, it was because there was an SD card in the card reader. [20:04] Jburrke: Theres always the forums ;) [20:04] can anyone prefer me a distubution? [20:04] Uni: thanks for all your help, ill look into it from here, see if I can update with a hardline, can I come back to you if I get stuck again? [20:04] Pici: replies take forever D: [20:04] is anyone else having ubuntu SSH issues? [20:05] aiduciukas: Changing the timestamp_timeout in /etc/sudoers will extend the time frame at which all sudo commands remember that you entered a password before. [20:05] Soopaman: When was the last time you did an aptitude update? [20:05] Slart: I dont want to clone the installation, but want to get back the original cd from which i actually installed the system [20:05] today [20:05] can anyone help me install a .tar.gz? [20:05] slackpipe: Desktop 2.4 amd with 1G nothing special nor extra . Have 6.06 fiesty and gutsy partitions. Would hate not to get hardy going. [20:05] i've got no idea what to do with it.. >< [20:05] ringer: Do you want to keep your XP? [20:05] hi .. i need help installing an ftp client [20:06] InvisiblePinkUni: yes, for a little while longer anyways [20:06] I have java installed, I have it enabled. Why can't I play yahoo games? [20:06] Soopaman: Try it again, there was a patch released today due to a vulnerability. [20:06] which Linux Distrubution you prefer? [20:06] vegombrei: A specific one, or do you just want an FTP client? [20:06] hi. I updated my server with xen from 7.10 to 8.04 (and xen 3.1 to 3.2). I see packets from internet via xen0 going into the vif for the xenU, but ifconfig on xenU shows no packets being received. maybe anyone saw a problem like this before? [20:06] skinnypup: you've already got fiesty and gutsy running on it? [20:06] Soopaman: Rather, the first patch release was a little flawed. [20:06] HEY???? [20:06] masterblaster: If you expect any answer other than Ubuntu, try asking in ##linux [20:06] ah ok thaks [20:06] n [20:07] Pici: could you help me out? [20:07] Jburrke: What are you trying to install? [20:07] slackpipe: sure do ... not really a noob [20:07] patifa: i wanna make my pc an ftp place where my friends can connect and download stuff from it directly instead of me burning dvds for em [20:07] Pici, would yo mind walking me through the fix? [20:07] Pici: er.. bittorrent xD [20:07] ringer: Ok, boot liveCD, go to partition editor, delete extended and swap (hoping you dont need them). Then reformat available space as ext3, and then 2*RAM size as swap. [20:07] oh, you want an FTP server. [20:07] Jburrke: There are many bittorent clients already in the Package repositories. [20:07] Pici: i see a .tar.gz & a .deb.. which would be better to install? [20:07] * Soopaman is walking over to the server as we speak [20:07] Soopaman: Sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get full-upgrade [20:07] there a ubuntu installer for servers? [20:07] vegombrei: I'd recommend making it a web server as opposed to ftp server [20:07] Jburrke: .deb .deb .deb .deb ;) [20:07] ringer: After that is done, then proceed to installing ubuntu. [20:07] Pici: oh, i guess i should have looked there first [20:08] Jburrke: Preferable from the repos, if not a .deb [20:08] Pici, will that upgrade my dist? [20:08] cheeseboy: yes.. check out the link at www.ubuntu.com [20:08] Pici: let me take a look.. thanks :D [20:08] Mathman: how do i make it a web server ? [20:08] Soopaman: No [20:08] Jburrke: Use synaptic and install. [20:08] Jburrke: If in doubt use synaptic package manager. [20:08] :-) [20:08] !torrent | Jburrke [20:08] Jburrke: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [20:08] vegombrei: same way youd turn it into an ftp server basically. install a web server and configure it [20:08] InvisiblePinkUni: synaptic = the add/remove thing under applications? Oo [20:09] How do I install a font into openoffice? [20:09] Jburrke: System->Administration->Synaptic [20:09] Mathman: i'm new to linux and ubuntu dude .. could you walk me thru it ? [20:09] Add remove thing, under applications is confusing. [20:09] InvisiblePinkUni: what's the difference between this and the add/remove thing? [20:09] niadh: hmm.. I was kind of hoping for something in the log file about "rejecting mode bla bla bla.. because of bla bla bla".. it seems it doesn't really even try those modelines you inserted.. strange [20:10] In reference to vegombrei issue: Do we have anything simplier than apache for making a simple web server? [20:10] Pici, sudo apt-get full-upgrade wasn't recognized [20:10] Slart: Uhm.... ok. [20:10] vegombrei: not I. it's not really a simple little thing. but it would be something along the lines of: apt-get install apache; vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf; cp some_junk /var/www/html/ [20:10] patifa, php's nanoweb? [20:10] slackpipe: It is the same with live cd , or VMware creating vm from .iso. I've also noticed the newest debian and fedora are the same on boot, but their install scripts do run. [20:10] Jburrke: I think they are related, Both of them use apt, but Add/Remove is supposed to be Friendlier to use for Windoze users. [20:10] I have java installed, I have it enabled. Why can't I play yahoo games? [20:11] Soopaman dist-upgrade ? [20:11] ringer: Is the swap size ok now? like is it double your RAM? [20:11] InvisiblePinkUni: lmfao windoze.. synaptic is confusing.. there are so many things here [20:11] i don't want to upgrade my distribution [20:11] Soopaman: dist-upgrade should work [20:11] Anyone know how to install fonts in openoffice? [20:11] Soopaman: vegombrei's looking for a simple way to share files to his friends and apache's a full blown web server with all the trimmings. [20:11] ariqs: sun java 6 plugin instaleld that? [20:11] i just want to fix the ssh issues [20:11] its a little smaller but not by much [20:11] ringer: If it is, then just leave it as it is. [20:11] patifa: so should i just apt get apache for starters and then take it from there what say mathman [20:11] hey guys, i'm having a problem trying to install mythvideo and i'm getting unresolvable package dependencies http://pastebin.com/m65a9befd [20:11] ringer: just reformat extended. delete it and make it ext3 [20:11] hello! [20:11] yes [20:11] Configuring apache is a bit more work than you'd want for something so simple. [20:12] Jburrke: :-) [20:12] Jburrke: Synaptic is the best in my opinion. [20:12] Pici, but i don't want to upgrade my distribution, i just want to fix the openssh issues [20:12] Jburrke: I don't use it much, but its very easy to use. [20:12] Soopaman: An apt-get upgrade might do it. [20:12] InvisiblePinkUni: lol, but i have no idea what to do from here XD.. there are so many results under bittorrent >< [20:12] Jburrke: I use apt-get a lot. [20:12] Pici, k trying now [20:13] Jburrke: Just click on the one you like and install. [20:13] vegombrei: I may have a found a simple web server, 'boa' is in the World Wide Web (universe) repository section in synaptic, and it's website is http://www.boa.org [20:13] IkariShinji: I dunno. redhat for instance has some pretty sane defaults. there's not a whole lot to configure as far as apache goes if you just want to share files. ubuntu...couldn't tell you about that. [20:13] thank goodness [20:13] InvisiblePinkUni: okay >< [20:13] that worked [20:13] much appreciated [20:13] SebNaitsabes, other java applets work fine for me, but I can't get on yahoo games [20:14] I don't know [20:14] what to install to have java in my firefox64 (amd64 ubuntu 8.04) [20:14] patifa: thanks im checking it out now [20:14] go to java.com and check your java version [20:14] i am seeing two keys next to my extended and swap and i cannot change anything. i cant delete resize move or format [20:14] hey, any good mindmapping progie? [20:14] LimCore: is there a 64bit Java for Linux? [20:14] Slart: So what further can be done? [20:14] LimCore: for example there is no 64bit Flash [20:14] for any OS [20:14] SebNaitsabes: I think I use 64 bit flash [20:15] InvisiblePinkUni: where did it install.. i dont see it under apps [20:15] I have normal firefox, and flash runs in it [20:15] there is no 64bit Flash for any OS [20:15] can run the 32bit version though in a 32bit browser [20:15] niadh: have you checked the forums? perhaps search for "nvidia 6600" ... or ask the room again.. there must be someone better than me here =) [20:15] strange.. so perhaps default firefox in 8.04 amd64 is 32 bit? [20:15] Can't easily navigate forums atm :P [20:15] yeah maybe [20:15] anyone know what i can do to resolve these errors with libxml-libxml-perl and libxml-sax-expat-perl ? http://pastebin.com/m65a9befd [20:16] Anyone any good with X11 I have a resolution stuck on 640 using the nvidia driver on a 6600?

[20:16] im trying to use apt-build to install applications... i tried for example apt-build install gftp.

[20:38] rathel: Ahh... it should have removed it due to nothing being wanted from there anymore... you can try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' see if it knows you don't want that stuff... [20:38] rathel: yeah it's just a container package like ubuntu-desktop [20:38] orangepeelbeef: beat me to it [20:39] sorry i had to reboot [20:39] fde: I don't have time to do that, will just install it, If have problems will blame you :-)) [20:39] how do i install a web server boa ? [20:39] fde, autoremove didn't do anything, remove 0 packages. [20:39] anyone have a good source for hardy freenx-server i keep getting unresolvable depends [20:39] SebNaitsabes: Aptitude ought to know that the other stuff weren't explicitly installed though, and know that if you remove kubuntu-desktop it'll remove everything else... that's how it's _supposed_ to work. [20:39] rathel: then apt-get remove kde === helvete is now known as imterro [20:40] rathel: seb is prolly right, it's just a container package [20:40] how do i install a web server boa ? [20:40] So, i've just installed Microsoft Hardy Heron. [20:40] orangepeelbeef, remove kde also removed 0 packages. [20:40] !lamp [20:40] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

(its installed if im right, and i installed lottanzb but when i add a nzb file the file goes away and no files are added) [20:41] SebNaitsabes: i think it froze. its sitting at 100% on the progress bar and not doing anything, i cant quit either [20:41] EVA00 won't fly? [20:41] i am here with the live cd i have installed ubuntu 8.04 with the aternate cd everything worked but i cannot access gnome what have i done wrong?? [20:42] how much RAM? [20:42] Anyone have any idea as to why I am unable to get any website to load in any web browser? (On the computer I am currently connected to IRC with) [20:42] fde, lol again 0 packages removed, I know it' still installed. [20:42] newuserr: Instaling ubuntu in the first place. [20:42] shadu: i use hellanzb but i don't use lottanzb is hellanzb running daemonized [20:42] Starnestommy: says ive already got the newest version but it wont show in applications [20:42] I even just installed Firefox2, to see if that would work. [20:42] rathel: dpkg -l | grep kde [20:42] IkariShinji: What's your issue? [20:42] Vegombrei: it's a command-line service, not an application [20:43] ringer: re boot [20:43] rathel: does that return items? [20:43] orangepeelbeef, alotta stuff pops up want me to pastebin it? or no need? [20:43] i need which command to access gnome?? [20:43] Starnestommy: oh ok .. so i just type BOa ? [20:43] SebNaitsabes: into the live cd then try again? [20:43] ringer: will have to install qtparted again if you do that [20:43] rathel: try apt-get remove kdebase-bin [20:43] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and I can't get any webpage to load in Firefox (3 or 2), Epiphany, or Lynx. I have tried rebooting, reinstalling firefox, and even multiple networks. [20:43] rathel: ahh aptitude doesn't wanna take wildcards... sudo aptitude purge kdelibs4c2a [20:43] But other protocols such as IRC and IM work just fine. [20:43] And I can download through aptitude and such. [20:43] ringer: since your running from a Live CD and the stuff only goes into your RAM [20:43] Vegombrei: probably just "boa", but it may have been launched automatically when it was installed [20:43] orangepeelbeef: how can i check that? [20:43] SebNaitsabes: ok [20:44] rathel: but you can just pick one of those and start whackin em, they should all come out from deps [20:44] IkariShinji: It's just a browser failure? [20:44] shadu: ps -aux | grep hellanzb [20:44] This issue just appeared today, and I have no idea what it could be. [20:44] i am here with the live cd i have installed ubuntu 8.04 with the aternate cd everything worked but i cannot access gnome what have i done wrong?? [20:44] orangepeelbeef: (i've got no clue about how hellanzb works, just wanted to download with usenet again :P) [20:44] i need which command to access gnome?? [20:44] Not sure really. All the browsers do the same thing. Attempt to load, and then load nothing. [20:44] Did anyone resolve the openssh-server problem from earlier? [20:44] ringer: re boot whole computer and back on the live CD. turn it off and on again even to save time. [20:44] shadu: hella works by monitoring a directory for .nzb files [20:44] newuserr: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [20:44] IkariShinji: I mean, any other connection works? [20:45] As far as I've tried. [20:45] shadu: but make sure you have hellanzb -D running somewhere otherwise no go [20:45] THANKS [20:45] SebNaitsabes: okay, ill be back then [20:45] orangepeelbeef: if i run that command i get somekind of a error :/ [20:45] shadu: you are using a pipe right ? | [20:45] orangepeelbeef, Okay, I'll just browse through synaptic picking them off one by one, thanks, I thought there was an easier way. lol [20:45] orangepeelbeef: yeah a | [20:46] shadu: what error are you getting [20:46] rathel: we can go lower if you want to get rid of everything related to kde in any way: aptitude remove libqt3c-mt [20:46] Okay, scratch that. It seems like my connection to AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo don't work either. [20:46] hi, I don't know where to ask this question. I have gnome-terminal using the font "Monospace 10". how do I figure out the font string name for that font suitable for passing to xterm or rxvt? [20:46] IkariShinji [20:46] But IRC and a MUD I play do. (The MUD uses port 4000) [20:46] yo [20:46] my openssh-server package is still broken [20:46] rathel: I'm not sure the base package for qt4 though... it's more modular... [20:46] orangepeelbeef: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [20:46] IkariShinji: do you have any other operative system? [20:46] Starnestommy: im new to linux .. could you help me set it up ? [20:46] Not on this computer. [20:46] rathel: nm... throw libqt4-core on the end of the last command too :) [20:46] orangepeelbeef: but now i also get a line with "douye 1427 0.0 0.0 3004 748 pts/1 R+ 22:10 0:00 grep hellanzb" [20:46] Vegombrei: I don't know anything about boa [20:46] shadu: but that's all you get? [20:46] IkariShinji: It the other computer in a nat/lan? [20:47] I've been running Ubuntu for a year, and I've never encountered this problem. [20:47] shadu: ok it's not runnign then [20:47] Yeah it is. [20:47] anyone knows how to put a ubuntu installer on a usb stick, google didnt really help [20:47] shadu: try typing /usr/bin/hellanzb -D [20:47] IkariShinji: If its the same as that pc, do the other has connectivity? [20:47] Yes it does. [20:47] Complete connectivity. [20:47] fde, Okay thanks. [20:47] IkariShinji [20:47] ronny: Ubuntu dosan't really run on a USB stick unless it's big enough, but there are other distros that will [20:47] orangepeelbeef: Cannot continue program, required executable not found: 'unrar' :/ [20:48] You should first discard wire issues [20:48] ronny: how big is your USB stick? [20:48] shadu: interestingly enough, hellanzb doesn't have a startup script [20:48] i run ubuntu off a 4gig memory stick [20:48] Starnestommy: you think there's a #boa ? [20:48] runs just fine [20:48] Hi, has someone working VirtualBox seamless mode xp guest Hardy host, without overlaping taskbar issues ?

[20:49] shadu: yes [20:49] ignoramus: Norton Ghost maybe [20:49] Starnestommy: nah theres no #boa [20:49] my custom error page for dansguardian doesn't display images in the HTML, is there a special way i'm supposed to call them? [20:49] or does that not copy Linux paritiosn hummm [20:49] IkariShinji: It's most possible that you have a router problem then. [20:49] SebNaitsabes: FOSS, please [20:49] ronny: how big a usb key you have? [20:49] ignoramus: ubuntu + dd and nc :) [20:49] SebNaitsabes: and it needs to copy an ntfs filesystem [20:49] orangepeelbeef: hellanzb v0.13 (config = /etc/hellanzb.conf, daemonized) [20:49] fde: you still around? [20:49] Even if this problem occurs on different wireless networks? With different routers? [20:50] ronny : try penbuntu maybe? [20:50] IkariShinji: Of course, not.

[20:50] ronny: and what exactly are you doing with ubuntu on the usb key?

[20:58] Right now, I have a wireless router and a wireless card in my ubuntu box. The card joins the net just fine.

[20:58] ok zephyr :) [20:58] jaggy: hardy heron has a firewall [20:58] jagggy: iptables is installed by default, but I think ufw and firestarter are good frontends to it [20:59] pickett: let me check [20:59] is 7gb for / enough space for server ? [20:59] Good evening - is there a specific channel where I can ask questions about web design on Linux? [20:59] Draggin: maybe #web [20:59] firestarter is easy to use gui for firewall [20:59] you have a link or 2? [20:59] frojnd: for a server that is more than enough I expect depending on what server it is [20:59] pickett: you can. [20:59] Starnestommy - would that be specifically Linux web though? [20:59] I would like to spped up ubuntu boot by removing the login so it automatically logs me in. How to do that? [20:59] after issueing "sudo apt-get update", what is the apt command to apply all upgrades?

[21:00] orangepeelbeef: k great :D [21:00] shadu: check your /etc/hellanzb.conf file to figure out where everything is going. I think the default is your home directory [21:00] ronny: if there is I dont know about it [21:00] Despite my being able to boot fine and despite fdisk seeing them? [21:01] <_sourcemaker> I have the problem... that the wlan card (Realtek) is not detected with the current installation of hardy (without the last updates installed)... are this problem solved after I have installed all the lastest available updates?

[21:03] too* [21:03] lartza_: unfortunately I'm not at my ubuntu machine so I can't check the exact name of the option [21:03] lartza_: (to automatically log in a specific user at boot time) [21:03] frojnd: yeah 6GB should be fine. ,but you can run Apahce on a normal computer [21:03] Vegombrei: I couldn't find anything other than the official documentation page. [21:03] ronny:http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ [21:03] frojnd: you don't need a special server computer for Apache [21:03] with the openssl patch it is recommended to regenerate ssh_host keys. Typically just deleting the keys and rebooting will cause new ones to be generated, how can it be done without restarting? [21:03] ronny: just follow that and you should be good [21:03] SebNaitsabes: I know that only that on this comp I have all my music , movies... pages... [21:04] I haveing a problem with my mp3 player in harty could someone help me [21:04] IkariShinji: Have you tried disabling ipv6 [21:04] frojnd: so they can only access the server [21:04] Starnestommy: how about apache ? is that easy to configure ? [21:04] Slart: I have fixed most of the issue now. Somehow, I need a quick bit of advise if you can, the only thing that's not working now is GDM, it's TOO big, everything else is at a decent enough resolution, it's just scaling GDM back down. [21:04] frojnd: if your firewall is good enough [21:04] Vegombrei: it [21:04] Vegombrei: er, it's a bit hard, but there are several tutorials and guides for it on the internet [21:04] I installed the latest updates and now I can't get my mp3 player to mount what could be the problem [21:05] maw_: remove keys and restart openssl-server? [21:05] SebNaitsabes: I own the firewall... it's good to have enetrtainent on one server [21:05] I am having struggles installing a network printer in hardy. I know the ipp address, but it is not connecting. Can someone point me to a resource? [21:05] but most of the update was for ssh [21:05] lartza_: don't ask in private. [21:05] hmm ..so there's no ftp or web server i could easily install ? [21:05] soilworker: No. I shall try that. [21:05] ronny: you'll have to mount the Ubuntu iso in loop and as such some of the directories you need to pull from will be different but it should work [21:05] thing is im new to unix i dont understand [21:06] How do I remove login? No autologin cause it still loads the rpocess. [21:06] hey can someone help me out here.... ever since i upgraded to hardy heron my gdm login screens have been real blown out..i can only see a portion of my gdm login and i cant see what im inputitn for usernmae and password when i sign in..is there anyway i can fix this or change the resolution im looking in login windows preferences but i see no option to change size [21:06] and even the doccumentation doesnt make sense heheheh [21:06] lartza_: there may be a way to do what you want, but you would have to do it yourself. there's not a facility built into ubuntu to automatically log into X without starting gdm. [21:06] what can I do to get my mp3 player to mount it was work fine before I did any updates [21:06] niadh: gdm? you mean the login window? [21:07] ronny: alternativley you could turn your linux box into a boot and install server and install over the network [21:07] slart: yes i mean my login window [21:07] Slart: Yeah, is that not GDM? [21:07] hello, ive got a problem with evolution... i cant click at the receive/send button in my evolution! could it be because i use thunderbird too? [21:07] soilworker: Where would I find the setting to disable IPv6? Or is there a way I can do it through the terminal/ [21:07] hi all, is there an open source equivalent to adobe illustrator than runs on ubuntu? [21:07] niadh: thats gdm as well [21:07] Does the cloning thing work from an old to a new laptop with different hardware? -Just want the apps, not the hardware specific things.. [21:07] Is there any commandline burning tool ? that supports DVD/CD data, DVD/CD iso ? === Namapoos is now known as Soopaman [21:07] niadh: indeed it is.. just checking.. hmm.. I kind of thought that gdm used the same settings as X... [21:07] so I won't have to install any fluxbox or so.. [21:07] IkariShinji: in firefox [21:08] Slart: It would have been my assumption too. [21:08] Ah! [21:08] frojnd: wodim [21:08] What is difference between this ftp://anonymous@archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu/ and this ftp://anonymous@security.ubuntu.com//ubuntu/ mirrors? [21:08] hi! how can i get sound workin on flash videos, like youtube. My sounds work exept the flash! Im using hardyheron [21:08] frojnd: wodim --data some.iso for instance will burn an ISO [21:08] do i need to regenerate my apache ssl certificates? [21:08] ok then can someone tell me how I can go back to the prevuse updates [21:08] niadh: the only settings for gdm that I know of are in the system, administration, login dialog.. but there's nothing there about graphics mode..

[21:11] ding! [21:11] change it to true? [21:11] Slart: That sounds JUST like the issue.

[21:31] sebnaitsabes: im just getting facts straight so i dont have to ask again... basically purge does what autoremove does... but also gets rid off all unwanted config files etc... while sometimes the hidden file might still be left behind.. in which case i manually remove?

[21:33] ok what do I want then [21:33] where is transmission? you said you could open it [21:33] does the package maanger say it's installed? [21:33] fde: ... still... this is a definate bug...

[23:57] yes I will do that. thanks again and bye :D [23:57] I cannot use "java" as a command in my terminal, even though I have JRE installed... Java applets in Firefox work fine, what's wrong? [23:57] over network [23:57] makario, OK... metacity --replace restarted metacity, and my previous settings. Saving the sessions made things permanent. [23:57] makario: swap files are always recomended unless you've got a massive amount of ram [23:58] linkmaster03: prolly your path, check if the binarys are in your path [23:58] Slart: Thank you. I guess I will just live with it for now. Got to go [23:58] I've installed some metacity themes yet it does not show, is there a fix? [23:58] its so hard to part after this long stucle :D ok il go il go :D [23:58] can some one here help me with wgetpaste [23:58] newair: bye [23:59] harder.better.faster.stronger [23:59] hmmm. I just setup a share when I was accessing music from my windows PC. Other than that I use mediatomb to stream to my PS3 [23:59] is there any utility that applies gtk themes to KDE apps in Gnome? [23:59] Anyone know why fdisk -l would list /dev/sda1 as a partition but it wouldn't actually show up in ls /dev and couldn't be mounted? (/dev/sda should have a NTFS partition on it) [23:59] Well, I've just reinstalled and it hasn't fixed my problem of random lockups/freezes/x-restarts. I'm on all intel hardware that's been really well supported since feisty. Anyone come across something similar? [23:59] Hello. There are various ways to install Ubuntu. I'm ssh connected to a netbooted Debian with an empty hard disk and the install dvd iso mounted. Any chance to run the installer from the dvd (w/o sitting in front of the machine)? [23:59] Goodmorning! Since a few days ago, I get the error message at login that it fails to initialize HAL. Sucks, because it means that my power management on my lappy doesn't work. Tried googling but can't seem to find anything newer than Dapper. Does anyone know what might be up?
