=== blake`` is now known as blaker [00:00] ArthurArchnix: As soon as I turned off compiz, all my problems went away [00:00] Nith: i found the binary, but the link is broken. where should it go to? [00:00] Nith: Yup. I've uninstalled compiz and use metacity without compositing. === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso [00:01] Hi, I have an ATI 1100 and the problem that happens in Ubuntu is that randomly, the screen turns white and I can't get back to my desktop and am forced to restart my computer. I have looked all around the forums and can't find a fix and it doesn't seem many people have this problem. How can I fix this, it makes Ubuntu unpractical for me because the white screen can come up at any time and there is no cursor, panels [00:01] , etc. [00:01] linkmaster03: mine is linked to /etc/alternatives/java [00:01] kenan__: try fedora [00:01] Nith: same here :( what should I change and how? [00:01] tried installing drivers using the driver manager kenan__ ? [00:01] RickX: if you open up cgonf-editor and go to /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default, what does it say? [00:01] linkmaster03: which java package did you install? [00:02] The kicker is that when I say it locks up.. I mean solid. A hard-reboot is required and there is no information in any logs. Messages.. xlog...dmesg... based on the inability to find any record of an error, I have to think that I'm seeing kernel panics? [00:02] is there a quick way to regenerate all of my keys? [00:02] FooAtari: ive tried installing drivers every possible way with no luck [00:02] I have xp x64 and it is installed on an extended partition, if I install ubuntu 8.04 64 bit will it leave xp bootable? [00:02] RickX: or just execute gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default [00:02] what's the package updater for gnome? [00:02] Nith: i have icedtea and jre6 [00:02] ArthurArchnix: this happened in feisty, gutsy and hardy? thats rough === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette [00:02] hm [00:03] got compiz enabled kenan__ ? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:03] Nith: No.. Feisty and Gutsy ran like champs. Small problems, but all easily fixable. Sound stuff. Sleep stuff. This is new. [00:03] Nith: java worked before upgrading gutsy 7.10 to hardy [00:03] FooAtari: yes but when im on metacity, it still happens, just not as often [00:03] bump... 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? [00:03] FooAtari: and for some odd reason it usually happens when im on firefox [00:03] ArthurArchnix: what graphics card do you have? [00:04] anyone here can help me with ubuntu on the mac? [00:04] yeah bassgoon [00:04] linkmaster03: if you did an upgrade, might wanna try just purge and reinstall [00:04] linkmaster03: might be faster than searching [00:04] does it happen when using flash or java kenan__ ? [00:04] Nith: intel 945 GM. I've tried setting the driver manually in xorg.conf. i810.. intel... i810 with nodri option, intel with that option, ... nothing. [00:04] hey guys, how can i get grub to load an existing, different menu.lst from an existing, different partition as an option in the boot menu? [00:04] Nith: which should I use, the official JRE or IcedTea? [00:05] Still randomly locks up. [00:05] FooAtari: it happens at random [00:05] makkbe, it says metacity now. I think it change back when I saved my sessions and logged out/back in [00:05] not sure im afraid kenan__ tried looking through the logs to see if you see anything useful there? === Aragon|wech is now known as Aragon [00:06] FooAtari: where are the logs? [00:06] linkmaster03: sorry, I'm a coder so I always install the sun bins [00:06] linkmaster03: I've never tried icedtea [00:07] Nith: ok thanks, I found the problem btw. How do I change a symbolic link? [00:07] Erm, I'm running Kubuntu at the moment. In the system menu somewhere. Perhaps someone else can tell you where there are kenan__ . Anyone? [00:07] RickX: then the problem is solved? [00:07] unlink [00:07] makkbe, yep... thanks. [00:07] how can i get grub to load an existing, different menu.lst from an existing, different partition as an option in the boot menu? [00:07] icedtea works ok for me so far linkmaster03 installed it a couple of days ago [00:07] then ln -s /your/proper/path/here /usr/bin/java [00:07] FooAtari: ah found it [00:07] Xorothal: I bet chainload will do it [00:07] Nith: thanks [00:08] linkmaster03: np, you'll have to sudo that too [00:08] ok [00:08] patifa: no, i mean get grub to load a menu.conf from another partition [00:08] ArthurArchnix: I'm sorry, your prob's beyond me [00:08] hi, my webcam is working but the image quality is quite low. any chance i can get better quality? I am on gutsy, video card intel 945, cam is an old logitech quickcam [00:08] Some of my folders left teh places menu, any idea how to control that thing to get them back on there? [00:08] patifa: chailnoad doesn't do that [00:08] this might not be much help kenan__ but the most laptop friendly distro I have used was Linux Mint. I had endless hadware compatibility issues with various distro, but Mint worked from the off. [00:08] Hey all, Question: I have an issue with a hard drive that I am not able to boot to, but I am able to mount it from a live disk to recover my files, but I am getting error messages telling me that I don't have permission. How can I login using my old credentials to get my files? [00:08] ArthurArchnix: freezing w/out any logging happened when I had the gfx card restricted drivers installed [00:09] sorry i meant i am on hardy, 64 [00:09] Yeah... I appreciate you chiming up nith ... I'm not alone in having hard hardy problems with x. But the lack of error messages makes it almost impossible to diagnose and solve. [00:10] how do I make compiz fusion start by default every time I start ubuntu? right now I have to do the "compiz --replace &" command every time I start ubuntu. [00:10] Finiras: version? [00:10] of ubuntu? [00:10] 8.04 [00:10] Nith: when using ln -s what's the first path to? [00:10] Finiras: mine does automatically [00:11] Nith: that you called the proper path? [00:11] linkmaster03: the target of the link [00:11] linkmaster03: you said you found your java binary rite? [00:11] Nith: and the second path is what? /usr/bin/java no matter what? [00:11] Nith: yes [00:11] its that [00:11] ill try it [00:11] Finiras: try installing the tray icon (i forget the package name) [00:11] exit [00:11] ok.. is there any file that I can put a command in that ubuntu runs every time it starts? [00:12] linkmaster03: the first path should be to the location of the java bin [00:12] Finiras: try installing the tray icon (i forget the package name) [00:12] Finiras: if you just go into preferences --> appearance --> desktop effects and enable it from there, does that work? [00:12] Nith: thanks for your time bro, got it working :) [00:12] soilworker: if you knew what the solution was you can give me one word to prove it. Only one is needed.. becouse i solved it baby! In your face you elitist! [00:12] cool [00:13] got a problem with gl screensavers and xwinwrap on 8.04 - sound familiar? [00:13] hi, my webcam is working but the image quality is quite low. any chance i can get better quality? I am on hardy amd64, video card intel 945, cam is an old logitech quickcam [00:13] Xorothal: I think I figured it out [00:13] makkbe, desktop effects isn't compiz fusion [00:13] kk [00:13] Finiras: yes it is [00:13] at least, if i do it, many of the effects don't work anymore [00:13] Finiras: you can choose what level of effects you want in there [00:14] Xorothal: 'configfile file' to load a conf file, even from another drive. [00:14] Finiras: or install compizconfig-settings-manager and control it fully [00:14] patifa: yeah just found that (thx 2 #damnsmalllinux) [00:14] Would anyone be able to tell me what I need to get access to my password-protected files on a mounted hdd. I know the password, I just need a way to give the info. [00:15] ahh, ok Xorothal, but at least I learned something new about GRUB while I was at it :) [00:15] nich01: in what way are they protected? [00:15] lol [00:15] makkbe: When I try to cp or mv them I am getting an error that Operation not Permitted (running livecd) [00:15] titties! gnight === colin_ is now known as Wolv === Wolv is now known as Wolvenhaven [00:15] HI, is there some command I need to use after plugging in a usb hard drive to make ubuntu detect the drive? [00:15] nich01: are they on a ntfs partition? [00:16] Finiras: compiz is not listed in System>preferences>Sessions>current session? is metacity listed? [00:16] makkbe: The files I'm trying to get are on an Ubuntu Partition ext3 /home/use [00:16] r [00:16] ok, on 7.10 there was an option to run wireshark as root, i cant find it for 8.04, can someone please show me where it is? [00:16] nich01, I think thats because you are running on a livecd instead of harddisk. [00:16] hey guys I am about to do rsync for some serious backup purposes across a network. Does anyone know how? Does it matter that one computer's rsync is 2.6.3 and the other one is 2.6.4? [00:16] does anybody know projectM? [00:16] Hi, can anyone confirm if this is a known issue / reported bug? Whenever my computer goes into sleep / hibernation mode, when my laptop wakes up from these modes again, my sound is completely dead. Alsamixer still loads and all levels are UN-muted still ... lsmod still shows my sound modules (snd_hda_intel) loaded .. all sources can play anything with sound but nothing comes out .... any suggestions? [00:16] Wolvenhaven: they seem to have broken wireshark on hardy [00:17] thanks xorothal [00:17] phixxor: that should not matter, no [00:17] I'm having trouble with compiling projectM-libvisual [00:17] makkbe: excellent. [00:17] also, how do i add firestarter to my bootup sequence? [00:17] the current release [00:17] with cmake [00:17] on feisty [00:17] Ever since upgrading to 8.04, certain applications (Firefox 2, Eclipse) have no network connection? What's causing this? [00:17] paulcross: I can't book to Harddisk because of a bad IDE cable (replaced). I have a feeling that it corrupted a little [00:18] anyone here had problems installing ubuntu on a g4 ibook? i can't get the video card to initialize. [00:18] i'm using 8.04 and the release that says it is for g4s [00:19] i don't know much about yaboot but is there at least a boot option for going command-line only mode? i used the alternate installer and that worked fine so i am assuming it is just x trying to start that fails. the livecd does the same thing [00:19] if the usb hard drive wasn't connected when I booted, there's no /dev/sdb. Do I need to create it manually or is there some hotplug program for ubuntu? [00:19] guys. I bought an UPS which is supported by linux. What package should I install so I can see how much time do I have before electricity goes off ? [00:19] nich01: if the cable physically frayed, that can be bad. Do you have a spare hard disk of equal or larger size? [00:19] anybody plays CS on ubuntu (wine)? How can i set resolution? It cant do it trough options-video in CS. Is anybody able to set resolution in options - video ? ? [00:20] frojnd: have you tried nut? [00:21] andrew___: It had exposed copper, I swapped out the cable, but unfortunately it had both HDDs on it so both started having the same issues at the same time. I am about to see the file system ATM, but I can't get in to the files because the were in my home folwer. [00:21] *folder [00:21] makkbe: I didn't try it.. I don't know what exists and what not [00:21] hey can anyone tell me what options I want to use with rsync to make a simple backup? [00:21] makkbe: nut is command line yes ? [00:21] frojnd: do an apt-cache show nut and read about it :) [00:21] makkbe: I will, thanx [00:22] anyone have yaboot experience? [00:22] i have a problem with samba, anyone who can help me? [00:23] yeast: a little from running Debian on System i, yes [00:23] litago, what's the issue? === davide is now known as sidelil [00:23] i can found the folder on the other machine with nautilus and network, but i cant mount them [00:23] nich01: On the command line, could you do `cat some_file_you_would_like_to_copy > /dev/null ; dmesg | tail`, and paste the results into http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/? [00:23] litago, do you get an error message? [00:24] i get an promp screen with username, domain and password [00:24] makkbe, i guess i should learn about it, but how would i boot to command line only using yaboot loader? [00:24] in hardy is it possible to display the name of the mount point of a drive on the desktop instead of the label of the partiton, as it was in gutsy? [00:24] nich01: That will try to read (and throw away) some_file_you_would_like_to_copy, then print any errors that Linux sees. [00:24] Hey guys has anyone had any success with debcreator? [00:24] yeast: there should be a flag... [00:24] litago, you need to enter the username of a user onyour Windows computer, the Domain (or workgroup name) and of course, the password to the user-account [00:25] Anyone, I'm trying to mount a NTFS partition, the disk is /dev/sda and fdisk -l shows the partition as /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda1 doesn't actually exist and when I try to mount it it says not found. Any ideas? [00:25] makkbe, i better go play with it some more. at first i just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar video problem with an ibook g4, which is the real issue [00:25] has anyone here used rsync to do a backup [00:25] Fishscene: i do, but it just promps again [00:25] phixxor:I do rdiff-backup --exclude /dev .... / /dest [00:25] yeast: never tried running linux on macs, so no [00:25] phixxor: yeah, but you might want to look at rsnapshot if you're doing regular backups. [00:26] phixxor: the dots is a long list of excluded dirs [00:26] Lancej, what happens if you type ls /dev/sda1 [00:26] Fishscene: the computer i'm trying to connect to is an ubuntu 7.10 with samba share [00:26] phixxor i used to use a mirror command in debian to do backups over ftp, it was easy [00:26] I need help guys please help [00:26] litago, are you entering the workgroup of the Windows computer? [00:26] Lancej what is the exact command you are typing to mount that drive? [00:26] oh nvm [00:26] anyone help me [00:26] sidelil: ls: cannot access /dev/sda1: No such file or directory [00:26] Hi ... does anyone know if lid.sh is related to the laptop lid closing / opening when putting it in sleep / hibernation? [00:26] anyone ever have any luck setting up a TV card on Linux? [00:26] andrew___: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11953/ [00:26] makkbe: how is that man nut doesn't exist :( do u know where can I get any info how to configure or use nunt ? [00:26] Lancej, and ls /dev/hda1 ? [00:26] nut [00:27] Kworld is the version, I would really like to get it working with Ubuntu [00:27] hollerith, andrew__, yeast, I'm doing it from a mac, which I know has rsync, so I don't want to install any other programs. also this is just a one time thing probably [00:27] litago, are you sure that you have permission to read/write to that share? [00:27] someone know where some up-to-date instructions are to get dual monitors working on my laptop? [00:27] sidelil, same thing. [00:27] anyone have any ideas, or can point me to some guides worth looking at? [00:27] Lancej, have you got gparted installed? [00:27] sidelil, yeah. [00:27] yeast: try adding video=ofonly to the /etc/yaboot.conf [00:27] phixxor: I think rsync is same [00:27] Fishscene: I'm not sure about anything now :P i followed this guide http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 [00:28] * milia akuei thn urania musikh tu zalman anemisthra tu [00:28] makkbe i tried that as it was an example of a flag on the livecd, it didn't help [00:28] litago, are you using Ubuntu 7 or 8? [00:28] Lancej, try having a look at what it says about your partitions. Is it the same as fdisk? [00:28] Fishscene: 8.04 [00:28] and the "server" is 7 [00:28] rdiff-backup uses rsync [00:28] yeast: ok, then i don't know... [00:28] sidelil, yeah it shows the NTFS partition as /dev/sda1 === _Servarium is now known as Servarium [00:29] makkbe, i mean i tried that at the boot prompt. i cannot get into the system to edit etc/yaboot.conf [00:29] So has anyone had luck with debcreator? [00:29] are there any alternatives to gimp, maybe with more features? [00:29] yeast: if you press ctrl+f1 after boot, you should get a console [00:29] Lancej: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [00:29] hey [00:29] litago, that looks complicated. For me, I just created a folder, right-clicked > Sharing options. Enabled it and installed the needed packages. Then restarted my computer. [00:30] Fishscene: maybe i should restart it, hmm... trying it now [00:30] Lancej, does it find any error on that partition? If you doble click it, it might say something [00:30] nich01: Eek... that goes over my head a bit, but it looks to me like either your hard disk, or your motherboard, or both, have been damaged. [00:30] i ask a quenstion is there a channel about how to prepare system requirement spesification ? [00:30] :P [00:30] legend2440, I've done the stuff there, it's not working === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert [00:30] has xwinwrap glmatrix and 8.04? [00:30] anybody [00:30] makkbe, no console. must be locking up completely [00:30] litago, yea, restarting the computer was a necessary step to enable samba filesharing. [00:30] sidelil, it says "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem!" [00:30] how does this command look? rsync -aNHAXx --protect-args --fileflags --force-change / root@remote_address:/Volumes/Backup/MyClient [00:31] Fishscene: i've restarted samba deamon [00:31] andrew___: Well, I thank you for your time. *glare at IDE cable.* I'll get the hammer and the fdisk. :) [00:31] Lancej, is there a windows installation inside? [00:31] is there a channel for preparing system requirement spesification [00:31] nich01: hang on, I'm not quite done :) [00:31] sidelil, yes and I can boot into it so I know it works. [00:31] andrew___: *puts down the hammer* [00:31] * milia sorry for what I 'amed' before. Wrong server :X [00:32] nich01: leave your computer off and unplugged from the wall overnight, then try the live CD again. I've had that work before, but it's unlikely. [00:32] Lancej, did you close windows properly? Did you maybe hibernate it? [00:32] can I ask a question? [00:32] !ask | mollusk [00:32] mollusk: 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. :-) [00:32] sidelil, I shut it down and it finished. [00:32] nich01: After that, if you've got another computer you can use, try putting the disks in it and seeing if they work. If so, it's the motherboard you want to take the hammer to. If not, it's the disks. [00:32] andrew___: When I worked for Earthlink, we used to tell people to do to that too. *sigh* lost cause. :) [00:32] phixxor:that looks okay but I'd have to check the man pages [00:33] Fishscene, I was wondering if anyone could help me using debcreator [00:33] andrew___: I'll try the latter first. Thank you for the suggestions. [00:33] mollusk, I have no idea what that is. sorry =\ [00:33] phixxor:I must admit I started using rdiff-backup because I set up rsyncs and they didn't lways run [00:33] Lancej, try to boot windows and come back to ubuntu, if it still doesnt work, go back to win and try to type in a command promt chkdsk /f C: [00:33] Finiras: did you get compiz problem fixed? [00:33] Somehow I have 506 folders called "desktop" inside one another in my trash can. If I empty the trash, it will not remove it. How would I get rid of this? [00:34] hollerith: eh, that's not that good :/ [00:34] sidelil, okay, BRB [00:34] Fishscene, debcreator allows a person to compile archives into .deb package files [00:34] nich01: it's rare, but I really have seen powering off work. If you know what you're doing, you're probably right about doing the latter first though :) [00:34] how do i configure auto login in kdm [00:34] phixxor: not a bug - my own fault not understanding when it would supercede files [00:34] ah [00:35] worked a treat the first time... [00:35] andrew___: It's always fun being new to an OS and having something go wrong that's TOTALLY unrelated to the OS> :) THanks again! [00:35] nich01: no problem - good luck! :) [00:36] anybody here ever played with freebsd? [00:36] marshal: me [00:36] i have noticed that i can ssh into my box, faster, over the internet, then on my lan. any idea why? their is a long delay before i get asked for the password [00:36] wnat do u think about it? [00:36] Hi [00:36] hollerith: yeah, I completely understand -- moving to a clearer program is good when you're able to but I don't really want to mess with it :) [00:36] gpled: dns [00:36] marshall: i like linux better [00:37] phixxor: quick sanity check - you're running over a trusted network, right? Your home LAN or something? Preferably not wireless? [00:37] yes home lan [00:37] gpled: when you ssh it tries to do a lookup on the ip address you are coming from [00:37] unfortunately part of it is wireless [00:37] but it uses WPA [00:37] because of the tools that it offers or administration utilities? [00:37] If the wireless is doing the backup, you might want to plug it in while copying - wired tends to be faster. [00:37] phixxor:just saying careful not switch, rsync is great if you can grok it [00:38] I'm trying to find someone to help me restore my window manager, I've ended up with an X server with nothing but my background on it .. I'm in terminal using ircII now .. trying to get my desktop back [00:38] I was switcing over to avant-window-manager and AWK [00:38] orangepeelbeef: does this show up in a log somewhere? [00:38] gpled: ya somewhere.. try auth.log [00:39] manzon:sounds like failsafe mode - try ctrl-alt-break to get back to the login manager [00:39] <[GSF]Martin> manzon: restart x? [00:39] orangepeelbeef: also, is their a way to tell sshd not to worry about dns on lan? [00:39] hollerith : I have the login .. no problem [00:39] GFSMartin: X is running fine [00:39] gpled: you can just put a host entry for your machine [00:39] there's just no window manager [00:39] or panels [00:39] andrew__, hollerith, yeast, this is the command I'm going with, do these look like the right options for a backup? rsync -aHx / phix@192.168.1.44:/home/phix/macbackup [00:39] or icons [00:39] manzon: You changed some config file as to watch to launch when you log in right? [00:39] Oh I forgot sudo [00:39] gpled: or configure your dns to know that machine ;) [00:39] it's completely blank .. [00:39] what* [00:39] <[JF]> Hello [00:39] dangermouse right [00:40] just that [00:40] how do i connect to an apple talk server on ubuntu? === chryss_ is now known as chryss [00:40] bsd is a good choice for file server, not a desktop IMO [00:40] last I did .. was to remove the gnome-panel from the sessions .. and add AWK [00:40] manzon: you mean console then startx or graphical login [00:40] <[JF]> Is this the help channel for Ubuntu? [00:41] hollerith: X starts fine by itself .. gives me login screen. I login .. and get my desktop .. but there's nothing ther [00:41] no panels, no windows nothing. [00:41] manzon: I cant for the life of me remember what file it is. Something "." in your home dir. You just to launch gnome session or something [00:41] Dangermouse . but how [00:41] My gnome is crashing on login, what is the text file to manage startup programs? [00:41] I can't start any .. ahh [00:42] manzon: try running "gnome-session" [00:42] orangepeelbeef: hmmm, kind of tricky. im using dhcp to get my ip [00:42] Dangermouse: the session don't resond to anything [00:42] manzon: .. whilst thinking about the importance of backing up config files :p [00:42] phixxor: Have you started the rsync server on 192.168.1.44? [00:42] can I launch things INTO the x-session from another tty in terminal [00:42] manzon: its gnome-session-properties [00:42] legend the file? [00:42] andrew__ no [00:43] manzon: no to start the sessions gui [00:43] orangepeelbeef: thanks for the help [00:43] legend : you don't understand [00:43] phixxor: I always use SSH instead of an rsync daemon, so I'm not sure how you'd start one. [00:43] andrew__ so far it prompted me for my password, 192.168.1.44's password, and hasn't said anything since [00:43] I cant access terminal from that login ! [00:43] <[JF]> Excuse my english [00:43] manzon: oh ok [00:43] gpled: no prob man [00:43] I opend a new tty to be able to go find help [00:44] phixxor: if it's just sitting there staring at you, it's probably trying to connect to the rsync server that isn't there. [00:44] and MAN is ircII something else [00:44] oh... [00:44] <[JF]> I have a question [00:44] andrew__ what's the start command? [00:44] I'm thinking .. that I need to find the FILE that tells x what window manger to use [00:44] <[JF]> How do write text in color with XChat? [00:44] manzon: what file are you looking for? [00:44] but I don't know where? [00:44] <[JF]> How do I* [00:44] legend that's what I don't know [00:44] phixxor: For the rsync server? I dunno. Setting up ssh is generally a better plan, TBH. [00:45] is kde4 in the ubuntu repositories? [00:45] jf you dont [00:45] andrew__ ssh and then scp? I think rsync uses ssh [00:45] yap... [00:45] phixxor: it can, if you tell it to. It doesn't by default. [00:45] jason_1, yes install kubuntu-kde4-desktop in hardy [00:45] how do i get gnome to stop crashing on login? [00:45] I've ran FreeBSD for server for some 10 years tho [00:45] <[JF]> ok. thanks [00:45] andrew__ oh, maybe I should cancel this command and try again [00:46] bazhang, you the MAN, lets hug. [00:46] How do I start a program in a x-session from terminal in another session ? :( [00:46] btw, should i remove kde3 stuff first? [00:46] if that's possible .. [00:46] * manzon sobbs [00:46] jason_1, only if you want to [00:46] phixxor: do you have an SSH server running on your Linux machine? [00:46] <[JF]> In wich Client could I write text in color? [00:47] andrew___: I think so. I'm sshing into it right now [00:47] jf in irc the channel controls that outside of your name being highlighted [00:47] phixxor: then yes :) [00:47] k thx [00:47] in hardy is it possible to display the name of the mount point of a drive on the desktop instead of the label of the partiton, as it was on gutsy? [00:47] where is the kdm config [00:47] <[GSF]Martin> <-- mIRC [00:47] legend : do you know if I can use apt-get to remove the whole shabang .. incl. the settings files .. and then readd it again ? with a clean "out of the box" config [00:47] orangepeelbeef, tp config what [00:47] hey room.. particularly dumb q.. i'm trying to login to my router.. i did ifconfig and got 192.168.1.102 as the inet addr.. so i assumed thats my router.. but all i get is a page that says "it works!" instead of my login page... have i missed a command to get my routers addy right.. cuz i tried -a.. and didn't get anythign extra to try [00:48] Weird. We just updated our home server's ubuntu, and when I try to mount one of the harddrives (it is in fstab), I get: (loosely translated to english, this version is localized): /dev/sdd1 is already mounted, or /the/directory/im/mounting/on is busy [00:48] bazhang: auto login [00:48] phixxor: You should be able to just add "--rsh=ssh" to the command-line (I think). [00:48] andrew___ alrigt I'll give it a try, thanks [00:48] But it is not mounted (according to mount with no params) and that dir is just empty. [00:48] jayde_drag0n, should be 1.1 [00:48] anyone? [00:48] orangepeelbeef, you might want to ask in #kubuntu [00:49] good call thx [00:49] phixxor:on the other box you need to do rsync --daemon [00:49] bazhang: guh.. i'm retarded.. thank you [00:49] i am lost with this program lol [00:49] hollerith: alright [00:49] how do you install a file that you downloaded? [00:50] PCDJ, what file [00:50] sdclone 2.0 [00:50] PCDJ depends on what file that is really [00:50] anyone has xwinwrap? [00:50] it is not part of add/remove [00:50] PCDJ, is it a deb or tar.gz [00:50] hello all [00:50] PCDJ: no I ment .. is it a tar.gz or .dep ? [00:50] <[GSF]Martin> PCDJ: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [00:50] let me check [00:50] phixxor: to be precise, you need to do `rsync --daemon` on the Linux box, or `--rsh=ssh` on the Mac. Doesn't matter which. [00:51] there is a install.sh [00:51] i have a question for you guys [00:51] <[GSF]Martin> PCDJ: read the link above, it's very useful [00:51] alien697: Ask =D [00:51] andrew____: alright. what if I do both? [00:51] <[GSF]Martin> picrures and everything [00:51] <[GSF]Martin> *t [00:51] [GSF]Martin: do you know what file I should look in, to change the window-manager loaded with X ? [00:52] which link? [00:52] <[GSF]Martin> http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [00:52] Hi all, I updated to 8.04 and have the same issue since, my sound card seems to conflict between two programs. I cannot run game with firefox, I need ot run the game wiht no sound. Do I add -nosound to the run command? [00:52] <[GSF]Martin> i can take a browse if you want [00:52] <[GSF]Martin> do you have alternate window managers installed? [00:52] Maring me or PCDJ ? [00:52] martin I ment [00:52] phixxor: it'll use SSH rather than the rsync daemon. Nothing wrong with that, so long as you kill the rsync daemon some time. [00:53] <[GSF]Martin> manzon: booting now [00:53] im just an end user, and was wondering how do you delete files in open office, becouse i dont see a delete command or send to trash. [00:53] ??? [00:53] hello - I tried to install the nvidia beta drivers from the nvidia site, and failed - how do i tell ubuntu to completely revert back to its own set of restricted drivers/modules? [00:53] alien697: What do you mean in-openoffice? [00:53] Hmm ... I suppose I should install lynx and go on a solution hunt ;) [00:53] alien697: you don't delete files in openoffice. [00:53] Martin: thank's [00:53] <[GSF]Martin> alien697: delete open office files in open office? afaik you can't do that in word either [00:54] alien697: you can use your filesystem browser for deleting them [00:54] manzon:its somewhere in XSession.d isn't it? /etc/X11 [00:54] hollerith: I don't know :/ [00:54] alien697, saved where? to desktop or other places use nautilus or just right click on file [00:54] In your gnome menu, at the top-left of the screen, click on "Places" and then open up one of the folders. [00:54] <[GSF]Martin> manzon: i assume you want to change back to metacity? [00:54] I've only used a GUI based *nix for 3 weeks [00:54] Can anybody think of a reason my computer might be swapping like crazy when only 35% of my 1GB of RAM is in use? [00:54] !nvidia | Toktok_ [00:54] Toktok_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:54] Martin any will do right now [00:54] RyanPrior, what does top say [00:55] manzon:you must have just changed it so go huntng with ls -latr? [00:55] open office word processor [00:55] So I turn computer on, I watch a movie on google, I close browser go to open a game, computer hangs after a few seconds, need reboot. I think it is sound conflict, should I use -nosound on the launcher? [00:55] is anyone able to watch their *.3gp cellphone videos with sound? [00:55] alien697, but the file is saved where [00:55] hollerith: what will that help if I don't know what term to serch for [00:55] !3gp [00:55] Factoid 3gp not found [00:55] manzon:the last file changed will be at the bottom of the list. [00:55] !3pg [00:55] Factoid 3pg not found [00:55] hollerith : but yes .. last night [00:56] just a hunch [00:56] bazhang: Top claims that most of my memory is in use, but the System Monitor claims that only 35% is in use., [00:56] I insalled ircII after that .. but nothing more [00:56] RyanPrior, I would trust top more [00:56] bazhang: Mem: 969008k total, 950696k used, 18312k free [00:56] hollerith : can you show me the ls parms again please [00:56] I can't scroll up in this client [00:56] where ever it goes when you save [00:57] i can't find a terminal lol [00:57] PCDJ : it's right besides the any key ;) [00:57] alien697, then go to the place you chose to save it and delete that file [00:57] lol [00:57] Hi [00:57] it says run install in a terminal and i am looking for the icon lol [00:57] PCDJ: APPS, accesories [00:57] PCDJ hit alt+F2 [00:57] Umm.. Anyone know how to install the SpeedTouch 330 on Ubuntu 8.04 Server edition. :S [00:58] write gnome-terminal [00:58] i have a dell e1505 installed 7.10 ndiswrapped the wireless upgraded to 8.04 now wireless doesnt work [00:58] hey i found the anykey!!! wooohooo lol [00:58] what if i didnt choose a place and it just automatically saved it some where [00:58] DonnyOsmond, is it a broadcom wireless card? [00:58] yeah [00:58] RyanPrior: Use < and > in top to change the column that lines are sorted by. For me, hitting > once sorts by the memory column. When you're sorting by memory, what are the top 3 processes? [00:58] bazhang: Top's output still makes no sense though. It lists Firefox as my most memory-using program, yet Firefox is using only 11% of my RAM. [00:58] oh, yea [00:58] How do I delete everything inside of a folder? Like TRUNCATE in MySQL? [00:58] !broadcom > DonnyOsmond [00:58] alien697, what the file name, search for it by name [00:59] q [00:59] how do i get wireless back [00:59] ok 1 sec [00:59] RyanPrior: when you close FF, does it stop swapping? [00:59] andrew___: How do I tell which column top is sorting by? [00:59] Hey .. isn't BitchX a terminal application ? [00:59] <[GSF]Martin> manzon: you have a terminal? does metacity --replace do anything? [00:59] Umm.. Anyone know how to install the SpeedTouch 330 on Ubuntu 8.04 Server edition? I can get it to work on Desktop Editions because of the GUI but am a bit confused with Server. [00:59] I kind of dislike this ircII [00:59] DonnyOsmond, go through the same process or try fwcutter [00:59] Martin [00:59] no [00:59] DonnyOsmond, sorry [00:59] manzon: do you have a terminal you can enter commands into? [01:00] Martin: I can't do anything at all from the tty whit the X session [01:00] went through the same process [01:00] andrew___ alright, I added -v this time, and it says building file list. so far so good I guess [01:00] to no luck [01:00] I had to start another tty to get to a terminal [01:00] DonnyOsmond, did you get the private messege from ubuttu? [01:00] !broadcom [01:00] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [01:00] <-- another successful gutsy to hardy upgrade (that makes 3) [01:00] RyanPrior: there's no marker, so far as I know. Just check which row looks sorted. Should be fairly obvious. [01:00] you know ctrl+alt+shit +F%n [01:00] does anyone know how to fix a windows partition [01:00] err .. minus the shift [01:00] hi every one [01:00] can i use the card without ndiswrapper [01:00] andrew___: Okay. My top memory-users are Firefox, Xorg, and Xorg, with 11.7, 7.7, and 7.7 per cent memory usage, respectively. [01:01] that would be easier [01:01] !ohmy | manzon [01:01] manzon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:01] what did I say ? [01:01] DonnyOsmond, read that link first [01:01] any one knows if any problem will happen if i install the ubuntu with xp and vista same time ? [01:01] andrew___: No way 99% of my memory is in use according to this thing... [01:01] DonnyOsmond, i think you can, put the responce to lspci in pastebin [01:01] manzon: you said SH&T [01:01] OH Sorry [01:01] yaman, install ubuntu last [01:01] i ment shift [01:01] Ever since upgrading this morning, I've been unable to telnet into a server and run an application. Did something change that would break this? [01:01] geez [01:01] phixxor: It'll stay on that line for quite a while, if you're copying your whole filesystem over. Copying everything will probably take many hours, but you'll start getting more interesting messages after a while. [01:01] manzon:never mind dumb bot === _Servarium is now known as Servarium [01:01] hollerith :( [01:01] manzon: i guess the bot doesn't know what you mean : ) [01:02] :) [01:02] man my fingers today [01:02] k [01:02] yaman, yea, install ubuntu last,i learned that the hard way [01:02] is it possible to fix a formatted windows partition [01:02] notjohnf, nope [01:02] j1solutions: they seem to like "hello" on the first date tho [01:02] that was reformatted accidentally [01:02] u serious [01:02] man [01:02] manzon:scratch that idea I had - btw can't find my own [01:02] greetings, i have a question, how do you overide the usb check? my usb card is fried and it is not letting me boot past the error screen that says usb read error [01:02] no way at all [01:02] notjohnf, been there, done that, but nope [01:02] oh I see i had to go to home/username/documents to find it so i can delete it [01:02] notjohnf, fix? completely reformatted? then no [01:02] hollerith : quite A mess I got myself into huh [01:02] bazhang,yaman, i do have the vista and the xp now installed do you thing its safe to install the ubuntu now ?

[01:02] thanks man [01:02] <[GSF]Martin> alien697: just like in windows ;D [01:03] notjohnf: it sucks [01:03] -Broadcom so i formatted it by accident and i cant get it back [01:03] yaman, yes [01:03] hollerith : I have an idea to a different approach .. [01:03] andrew___: I can't close Firefox because I use Chatzilla for IRC.

If you don't have any than take it as a learning experience [01:03] broadcom: i was trying to format my flashdrive [01:03] notjohnf: might be a better question for ##windows [01:03] only retards use chatzilla [01:03] notjohnf, nope, but if you dont mind me asking how do you refpormat it by accident [01:03] hollerith : would it be possible to use apt to completely remove the desktop .. X and all .. [01:03] and then install it again [01:03] is it bad if acpi -V returns 89C [01:03] blaker, no name calling please [01:03] i was formatting my flash drive in terminal [01:03] blaker Please keep it friendly [01:03] It would have to trash the config files too though [01:03] Hi bazhang [01:03] manzon: is it gdm?

[01:04] Jack_Sparrow: did you get your moniker from a disney film? [01:04] manzon: have you tried metacity --replace command? [01:04] very cool indeed [01:04] notjohnf, http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-34639-Recovering-files-after-reformatting.html [01:04] hollerith : now you made me look stupid .. :( what is gdm ?

[01:07] alien697, linux does not make users more wise [01:08] alien697 this is the support room, your questions are more suitable for #Ubuntu-offtopic [01:08] lol [01:08] does anyone run ubuntu on their macbook pro? [01:08] how's the experience? [01:08] RyanPrior: Yes, that makes sense. The only other thing I know to do is to start killing processes until the program goes away. That could destabilise your system enough to require you to reboot, but nothing more so long as you steer clear of sudo.

How do I get it back? [02:04] carlosqueso: Hmmm, I thought it was a dist(ribution)-upgrade [02:04] and guys i have a really big hd that is on if i unmount it can i unplug it [02:04] it is constantly running in linux [02:04] yksittainen: right click on the panel -> add to panel [02:05] Server is running just fine.

[02:06] PMantis: k, then that SHOULD solve it, unless you added all kinds of strange repos [02:07] I have ubuntu and kubuntu on my laptop but if i will upgrade from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu hardy heorn and it didnt boot then will i be able to access the kubuntu [02:07] i_own:did you install on seperate partitions, or did you apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? [02:07] carlosqueso, i did the apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:08] i_own: then no, they'll both be upgraded to hardy [02:08] carlosqueso: LOL, I'm also confused... I was SSH'd to another box.

Sorry for being hard headed ... :dist-upgrade" just meant something different to me, and didn't seem like the "right" way to do it, but rather a hack to get around the right way. [02:10] sounds good. I've done online upgrades before and had them go well... [02:11] wait haha there it is === mike is now known as Nalidixic [02:11] j1solutions, meaning success or failure?

[02:13] heh [02:13] blaker: depends on the provider [02:13] yeah in XP for irc script you type /load -rs to load it [02:13] PCDJ: XP is just 'OK' but 3 months with Vista put me over the edge toward linux (thankfully) [02:13] lol [02:13] tds5016 thats th new ubuntu os thats going to be released [02:13] ubuntu is awesome [02:13] PCDJ: uhm, you mean mIRC ?

[02:14] anyone able to tell me the easy way to use the cd to updatE? [02:14] lol [02:14] carlosqueso: It was for that reason that I avoided an upgrade for a year... but had to keep my laptop safe since it has some client data on it. Now that it's installed the "Ubuntu" way, 8.10 should be an easy upgrade. [02:15] where do i get wine besides the package store? [02:15] tds5016: do you have the alternate cd? [02:15] ah ok thx [02:15] PCDJ: wine is in the repo why use another way ? [02:15] nope. the standard one. [02:15] PCDJ, you from MA?

Samba can work. If you set up sares corectly. the gnome file manager and kde file manager has samba browsing features, or you might want to check out the FuseSmb tool. [02:41] is there a way to boot the 8.04 installer from usb? [02:41] linxeh, when i installed 8.04, i can use all of my devices. all drivers are ok. ubuntu use same drivers on 7.10 too? [02:41] Indeed, NFS is super zippy [02:41] doubledew, if ysing samba a lot - you should install the samba-doc package and read up on the included books the package has. [02:41] the printing section under administration in ubuntu hardy says it sees the printer and named it the same name as it is on the printer all automatically but it wont print [02:42] doubledew, if just doing a few transfers, sshfs is very easy to get going.

[02:44] Dr_willis: alright, i don't konw what that means so Ill read up on it, i was just thinking there'd be a quick way sort of like mounting a drive [02:45] PCDJ, to do what ? [02:45] itlebuda, load sdclone [02:45] ls -lh /etc/ssh/ [02:45] doubledew, its exactly the same as mounting a drive. :) you just use a different filesystem/options [02:45] PCDJ, did you install it ? [02:45] Dr_willis: ummm i'm the common user and i DONT know the techno jargon and whats wrong with the average layman using linux or any OS without knowing what an iso9000 is [02:45] j [02:45] itlebuda, sdclone no but the 2 you told me to yes [02:46] Hi, how can i install gyachi messenger to my hardy (AMD) [02:46] yowshi, ive also noticed that (at least in here) a totally beginner user, will want to try to do some really weird things that they wouldent even attempt in windows. :) but computers are tools.. and it takes skills to learn to use tools. [02:46] Dr_willis: i aint dumb just uneducated in the techno jargon and wording used in the linux man pages and i am VERY insulted that you think just cause i dont know those terms that i am some drooling moron [02:46] litlebuda, sdclone no but the 2 you told me to yes [02:46] PCDJ, then in synaptic install perl and phyton [02:47] litlebuda, ok [02:47] yowshi, you are entirely too sensitive and i dident mean you specifically.

Books/Info on the shell and the core of the OS are worth reading to learn the fundamentals. Linux is all about layers. It pays to learn how the layers work.

[03:20] PCDJ, no problem [03:20] xim: the most common way is to alias ls to ls --color=auto, you can uncomment just such a line in your ~/.bashrc ;) [03:21] i thought i installed 64bit hardy but when trying to install codecs I get " package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)" how can i verify?

[03:21] jesus, that a big command...i'm not going to loose all my libraries i had to install for compling misc stuff,? [03:21] for the record. i just tried installing ubuntu and xubuntu 8.04 on an ibook g4 and they both would not work (the alternate installer worked but the installed system would not boot, the livecd would not boot) but 6.10 worked fine.

[03:22] hey can i iunstall cpanel on ubuntu server? [03:22] bazhang, I did [03:22] the questions raised in this channel are fascinating. cool to hear the things people are trying to do with computers. [03:22] bazhang, same error saying x server can't start [03:22] bazhang, I can't remove that medibuntu [03:22] java: one easy way is to set a disk Label [03:23] Is there a really active open office base channel out there? [03:23] selocol: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-2 is the main source for advice for about the OpenSSH vulnerability. [03:23] andrew___: thanks [03:23] I'm having a problem. When I load up Firefox on Hardy Heron, Ubuntu logs out my user and makes me login again. This happens everytime. Any suggestions? [03:23] astro: i did that, and set it in my fstab, but even though i added the user option it says i can't mount it whenever i stick it in [03:23] ???? [03:23] i just rebooted my Gutsy installation after installing updates with Synaptic and i can't get to the login screen, can someone help me? [03:23] 啊 [03:23] miwachiru, go to software sources and choose another set of mirrors to dl from; that should reset your sources.list, then refresh and try again [03:23] how do i format an external hd on ubuntu? [03:23] etheredge, with gparted [03:24] etheredge: same way you format an internal one [03:24] how would that be? [03:24] there is no right click option in ubuntu heh [03:24] selocol: as I understand it, you should upgrade to the new versions of openssh-client and openssh-server, then create new keys (including ~/.ssh/id_?sa keys) unless you can _prove_ you don't need to. [03:24] java: no fstab entry, with just the Label set it is supposed to mount to /media/Label [03:25] andrew___: ok thank you [03:25] where can i get unetbootin? [03:25] Jordan_U: do you mind me logging in later and receiving your reply? [03:25] thechris, sourceforge.net [03:25] shree_, I doubt I will have one :) [03:25] Problems installing a broadcom "BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PC" driver in ndiswrapper [03:25] bazhang: down. any other places? [03:25] hmmm.... let me reboot and see if it works... [03:25] Jordan_U: hehehe. tell me, what is thde plugin you are using? [03:26] thechris, let me check hang on a sec [03:26] shree_, totem [03:26] Jordan_U: the name i meant, as in firefox-addons [03:26] bazhang, i think i'm going to regret that command, i see alot of software being removed that i use... [03:26] is there another browser for Gnome besides Firefox and Opera? [03:26] Jordan_U: the name you ifnd in firefox add-ons [03:26] Dmadman, google is your friend ;) [03:27] Nautilus Dmadman [03:27] bazhang, do you have any thing to say? [03:27] jason_1, you can add them back (with some kdelibs) later if you wish [03:27] Yes, Google is my friend, but right now Firefox isn't. Everytime I load FF it logs my user out of GNOME. =P [03:27] there are probably thousands, if not millions of web browsers [03:27] pen about what [03:27] bazhang, my problem. Initramfs with xorg [03:27] shree_, totem-mozilla is the name of the package [03:28] pen you never mentioned intramfs until this moment [03:28] bazhang, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup changes initramfs [03:28] bazhang, I did told you about that command I ran [03:28] bazhang, I thought you know it changes initramfs [03:28] pen you mentioned gdm and x nothing about that command [03:28] Okay, I have shared stuff on my windows computer. How do I find them with my linux computer? I can find the Network Group (called YADDA) but no computers inside. [03:29] bazhang, I did mention about that command. ok nvm, maybe I didn't make it clear. [03:29] When i try to login to my Gutsy install, i get to the creamy background screen, and then stuck in a loop between boot and login. Any ideas? [03:29] Dmadman, Are you using gnash by any chance, and do 3D accelerated applications crash X ( causing you to be logged out of gnome ) ? [03:29] actually i found a way to do it with udev [03:30] bazhang, so what should i do to fix it === blaker is now known as blakex [03:30] Hi. I just recently reformatted my USB external to fat32, I changed the fstab (because it uses vfat, not ntfs) - "/dev/sdb1 /home/fluid/library vfat rw,auto,user 0 0" - however, when I go to /home/fluid, "library" is locked, and I can't write files. Anyone know anything? [03:30] dpkg-divert: error checking `/usr/share/apps/dolphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop': No such file or directory [03:30] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198821&package_id=256965 thechris [03:30] is that bad? apt-get crashes all the time now. [03:30] Can anyone give me a little more information on this recent libssl update? [03:30] Does that affect the pubkey I generated w/ GnuPG? [03:30] Errors were encountered while processing: [03:30] kio-umountwrapper [03:30] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1 [03:30] Would someone please point me in the right direction to add a launcher from my desktop into the Applications list? [03:30] what kinds of security measures are in place for shell providers? just chroot jails? [03:31] fixes an ssl vulnerability tje2 [03:31] kio-umounwrapper kde related by any chance? [03:31] jason_1, aye [03:31] good evening everyone [03:31] Jordan_U: could you tell me the minimum plugins that you will need to enable and still make sure that the video is displayed after a firefox rebot [03:31] Would someone please point me in the right direction to add a launcher from my desktop into the Applications list? [03:31] bazhang .. yeah, caught that much from the advisory, that it makes for a better PRNG. Does anyone have any solid info on exactly HOW guessable these keys might be? [03:31] bazhang, is there a way to revert or regenerate a working initramfs ? [03:31] so i need a kde app to run apt-get update? [03:31] doesn't sound correct. [03:32] tje2, the security update is already out [03:32] is there a setting that puts your prompt into a default multicolored look? I know the way i had it before it had different colors in my prompt but i didnt set them manually [03:32] quick question, I just setup 8.04 server, and I need to get the GUI loaded, what is the command for that ? [03:32] egesty, try right clicking [03:32] jason_1, no, but the error with kio is kde related [03:32] bazhang .. yeah, I read it. It's sparse on details. I'm wondering if that affects my pubkey generated w/ GnuPG since it links to libssl. I'd assume so, so I'm wondering exactly HOW guessable these keys may be. I hate generating a revoke key, etc. [03:32] does anyone run tomcat on ubuntu ? [03:32] hmm. [03:32] shree_, I don't know, that video does not display for me ( sorry I can't be of more help ) [03:33] grezer34 .. you can likely do something like "apt-get install x-window-system" [03:33] Jordan_U: thanks for your co-op [03:33] lkthomas: Apache? [03:33] so i nkio-umountwrapper to update with apt? [03:33] tje2, gnupg is NOT affected [03:33] need* [03:33] bazhang .. thanks. [03:33]  hey guys, quick question... can grub have a gui, i would like have a nice graphic to select my OS ...... anyone? [03:33] Scunizi, my question is that why tomcat need to run with apache [03:33] ToddEDM .. yeah, grub will do a splash screen. I know next to nothing about grub (still using lilo here), but I know it's in the docs. Try "man grub" [03:33] bazhang, is there a solution to taht? [03:34] Hi. I just recently reformatted my USB external to fat32, I changed the fstab (because it uses vfat, not ntfs) - "/dev/sdb1 /home/fluid/library vfat rw,auto,user 0 0" - however, when I go to /home/fluid, "library" is locked, and I can't write files. Anyone know anything? [03:34] thx tje2 [03:34] can i use dpkg to fix kio-umountwrapper installation status? [03:34] is there an Ubuntu program that will run windows .exe 's? [03:34] pen best to address the channel; if someone knows they will answer--the more info you give (all at the same time btw) the better the chance you have of getting a response [03:35] lkthomas: tomcat is apache http://tomcat.apache.org/ [03:35] ToddEDM .. when you look at the manpage, search for "splash", I think that will find you what you're looking for. [03:35] fbthpg, wine [03:35] !wine | fbthpg [03:35] fbthpg: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [03:35] fbthpg, wine will run *some* windows exe's [03:35] where can i find a dl for Wine? [03:35] so tomcat = java + apache ? [03:35] fbthpg, ubuntu, no; there is a linux one though [03:35] lkthomas: sorry.. I"m wrong.. there's tomcat and apache tomcat.. [03:35] bazhang, I did provide you the information. I only un the command and then xorg starts to complain [03:35] bazhang, same thing right ;) [03:36] hmm [03:36] * Jordan_U ducks [03:36] lkthomas: actually apache and apache tomcat.. fingers are fat.. mistakes. [03:36] Jordan_U, :) [03:36] haha :) [03:36] bazhang, I thought maybe reinstall nvidia driver would work, but I was wrong [03:36] lkthomas: either way apache is in there. [03:36] ok, hmm [03:36] pen have you checked launchpad? sounds like that might be a pretty serious bug [03:37] bazhang, it is a bug for console-setup. I did search google for that [03:37] apt-get insists kio-umountwrapper is still installed, but it's not, so it keeps crashing when trying to apt-get upgrade, and i blam bazhang [03:37] bazhang, but it seems like no one has that problem yet [03:37] jason_1, you blame me? :) [03:37] lkthomas: ah.. tomcat is the implmentation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer packages.. [03:37] bazhang, they say to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:37] bazhang, I run it and it removes nvidia driver from xorg [03:37] bazhang, then the resolution comes back [03:37] lkthomas: so tomcat is just Java on Apache [03:38] I'm not getting any help in the vbox room. Virtual box will not load my guest os. I'm getting an error to install guest modules so I did, but still no go [03:38] bazhang, yea, that awesome remove all kde broke aptget. [03:38] bazhang, but if I want to add nvidia to the device section the same problem happens again [03:38] hmm [03:38] my mail-notification applet used to open gmail, but now it opens evolution. i didn't change any settings.. how do i fix this? [03:38] is easycrypt broken in 8.04 too? [03:38] Scunizi, I feel jsp slow as hell [03:38] pease, some one help me to connect tu the internet ? === colin_ is now known as Wolvenhaven [03:38] Scunizi, did you notice that ? [03:38] for soem reason it's getting a script to copoy some non-existant files over [03:38] bazhang, so I have no clue what should i do next. that's all the information I know [03:38] Removing `diversion of /usr/share/apps/dolphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop to /usr/share/apps/dolphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop.distrib by kio-umountwrapper' [03:38] Agh. My USB external is being mounted "locked" - in nautilus, it shows a "lock" beside it. "/dev/sdb1 /home/fluid/library vfat user,rw 0 0" is my fstab. Any ideas? [03:39] lkthomas: jsp? java script? sometimes.. slower than xhtml? maybe [03:39] jason_1, sounds like you removed some mounted usb or other unsafely [03:39] pen hang on a sec [03:39] hmm [03:40] Anyone? [03:40] bazhang, i own no such hot removable devices. [03:40] jason_1, you want to pass blame or fix the issue? [03:40] has anyone had this problem with flashplugin-nonfree: I go to a site such as youtube, video starts playing and stops after two seconds. Will not start again. This behavior is exhibited with all flash. [03:40] pen: ask bazhang if "xrandr -s 1280x1024" (or whatever resolution you need) will work [03:41] I have a problem booting my computer. I boot the first time and it says that my hard drive is FAT formatted and to try again. I press ctl-alt-del and it boots just fine! Anything I can do about this? [03:41] Scunizi, it doesn't work me it says can't find the resolution mode [03:41] pen you may have found someone who knows something --->points to S-cunizi [03:41] is easycrypt broken in 8.04 or is it just me? [03:41] bazhang, ok [03:42] how do i reinstall my sound card drivers in ubuntu [03:42] I have a laptop with an ATI mobility X1400, how painful is it to get Desktop Effects with Hardy? [03:42] I've only booted the live CD, which wouldn't let me enable them [03:42] like 4 button clicks victamower [03:42] bazhang: pen .. well.. just my latest experience.. I had another HD so decided to install Hardy fresh.. rez. was all screwy. Someone suggested xrandr -s (resolution) however after enabling the restricted drivers it wasn't neccessary.. just my 2 cents worth. [03:43] bazhang, i think i got it, dunno where it's reading the script to move these files over, so i just quick made the directories and touched the file it wanted [03:43] going to delete them and see if it still complains [03:43] Scunizi, do you know anything about initramfs? [03:43] jason_1, we try to help folks in here; getting upset when something is not fixed right away wont make it happen faster; *you* chose to remove the kde, so blaming others will not resolve or make others more likely to want to help you [03:43] pen: no.. sorry [03:43] victamower: enable restricted drivers, reboot, install desktop effects, then turn on the effects you want [03:43] Scunizi, ok [03:43] Scunizi, thx for the suggestion anyways [03:43] how do i reinstall my sound card drivers . is there something like to reconfigure it? [03:43] I have a mouse with 5 buttons + wheel (the wheel is the middle button too), but only 2 buttons + wheel as wheel are working and there's no relevant options in Preferences - any clues ? [03:44] Wolven: the ATI drivers are using AIGLX instead of xgl now right? [03:44] bazhang, so I'm back to you...:) [03:44] pen: np.. without xorg being implemented.. it's very different for most of us. [03:44] it was supposed to be a joke? sense of humor a bit low? apologize if you found it offensive. [03:44] victamower, Yes [03:44] Scunizi, ok [03:44] i* [03:44] victamower: yes [03:44] jason_1, you were just kidding then? ah okay [03:44] can i get some help mounting an lvm volume? vgscan wont detect it [03:44] I've had problems with video playback with AIGLX in the past [03:44] degrit: what mouse is it? my 5 button is working fine [03:45] Logitech MX310 [03:45] lol, why would i blame you for something someone else wrote? [03:45] can I ask for egrep help here? [03:45] jason_1, okay-->never know in here :) [03:45] Ok, I assume that nobody else has that same problem as mine at the moment. I'll try again at a later date. [03:45] actually it has an additional button on the top which in windows operates like alt+tab [03:45] well, honestly, it was aj oke. [03:45] degrit: lol thats the mouse i have, weird that its not working [03:45] yooo i have a question... ok i have a system monitor screenlet based on conky running on my desktop and it seems every time the cpu usage changes it makes a clicking noise out the speakers... [03:46] bazhang: so, unetbootin does? it seems to be a shell script that doens't do anything. [03:46] I am using feisty if that helps [03:46] bazhang, ubt i think i got it, just faked some directories and the file it was in search for. [03:46] thechris, what distro you got? [03:46] that extra button pisses me off, i hit it while switching sensitivity and it dumps me out of games, i dont know though, cause mine is working [03:46] no I mean gutsy [03:46] jason_1, nicely done [03:46] christel: by screenlet do you mean applet? [03:46] wait, do you have 7.10 or 8.04? [03:46] bazhang: i'm attempting to use it to install xubuntu. [03:47] 7.10 is gutsy right ? how do I make sure ? [03:47] thechris, from what other linux distro if I may ask [03:47] lsb_release -a degrit [03:47] bazhang: gentoo [03:47] raist i guess you can call it that.... im running screenlet manager it allows you to grab the ones off like gnome-look.org and put them to use [03:47] gusty is 7.10, yea the buttons dont work in 7.10, they work in 8.04 though [03:47] but yeah i guess you could say that raistlinmaje7 [03:47] yup it's 7.10 all right [03:48] is there a way to narrow down all the dependencies that are installed with a package? [03:48] thechris, then the .sh file I guess [03:48] I remember I'd managed to make it work in 7.04 though P: [03:48] yea, sorry about that, it didnt work for me in 7.10, but they work in 8.04 [03:48] melter, apt-cache show [03:48] huh, that's odd, it doesn't happen for me [03:48] someone please help me, I'm really upset... I just downloaded and burned the Ubuntu 8.04 .ISO...I'm trying to install it inside windows...it goes through the checksums and then starts creating an image, it gets to about 711MB out of 733MB or something, then it stops and says "Cannot access CD, it may be being used by another program." Which as far as I know, it ain't! Any ideas? [03:48] ive also recently got my desktop cube through fusion going as well lol so the spu is pretty active in comparison to earlier today haha [03:48] is there any cons in pressing that "Update Release" button in my update manager ? [03:48] does the problem go away when you disable the monitor? [03:49] baatii which vm are you using? [03:49] bazhang: but what does it do? it seems to want only the mode of install, and not an iso file or such [03:49] degrit: no [03:49] CPU* [03:49] not that I know of [03:49] also, I can't get it to load as a live CD...it get's to about 3% of the kernel, then it says, Cannot access Boot disc [03:49] thechris, i don't think he's using one [03:49] I mean, does any app stop working or something like that usually [03:49] let me check [03:49] thechris, it dl's from the net the rest [03:49] Baatti Check the wubi site for help with that. [03:49] nope [03:49] baatii: what speed did you burn it at? [03:49] still got it hahaaaa [03:49] Wolvenhaven: none, it says I didn't need to partition or anything [03:49] baatti, try "check cd for errors" when trying to boot from it [03:49] let me see what happens if i play a song [03:50] degrit: I mean its a crap-shoot, usually nothing gets too broken [03:50] Wolvenhaven: using InfraRecorder, at Maximum speed [03:50] :) [03:50] Kohlrak: how do I check a CD for errors? [03:50] it could be broken then [03:50] Baatti: you should burn at the lowest speed [03:50] try reburning at 4x [03:50] ok, I'll try that [03:50] Menu item, Baatti [03:50] Baatti, the cd integrity check [03:50] bazhang: hmm, it that case it doesn't seem to work. i guess it fails silently [03:50] Baatti: You can check if the .iso is corrupt. Did you check the md5sum ? [03:50] I always burn a live CD just to make sure it boots properly and what not, but that's just me [03:50] holy hairballs you can hear it over the music .... [03:51] Baatti: also i think you meant the cd wouldnt boot but you can check it by running as a livecd and click the check cd for errors button [03:51] i wish you could still copy the livecd to a partition and install like back in 6.06 [03:51] but thats been broke for a while. [03:51] thechris: You still can. [03:51] ok guys i feel stupid, where did the partition editor run off to, its not in system-admin anymore [03:51] ok, let me try reburning it at a slower speed, then I'll check for errors at reboot [03:51] thechris, one user here does that with gutsy [03:51] thanks guys [03:51] I'll probably be back soon [03:51] yay for squash tools [03:51] peace [03:51] Wolvenhaven, so in 8.04 that mouse just works, no workarounds needed ? [03:51] Jordan_U, are none of the dependencies optional, for example, if i install imagemagick to manipulate postscript and png images only, i still need to install x11 libs? [03:51] Baatti: good luck [03:51] thanks [03:51] chris_420: are you sure its the system monitor? [03:51] yes degrit [03:51] yay [03:51] well, I'm off to try [03:51] yeah im thinking not so much now lol... [03:51] good luck degrit [03:51] 8.04 is kinda buggy though [03:52] cylux: gusty didn't work that way with amd64. current just doesn't work (no /dev/ram) [03:52] I hope it doesn't mess up compiz and eve online which I just managed to set up right [03:52] hehe [03:52] is anyone here a regex wizard? [03:52] thechris: That can be remedied. [03:52] Strange problem: network drop (from rebooting router, unplug/plug cable, etc...) causes ANY action that requires elevated privileges to hang such as SUDO, SHUTDOWN, viewing network applet, etc. Using HARDY [03:52] hardy isn't that bad, but i'm a bit disappointed w/ the few bugs it has. [03:52] thx for the help [03:52] i really like it [03:52] its just i want wireshark and easycrypt to work [03:53] Wolvenhaven, Applications -> System Tools [03:53] yeah, and I want FF3 to not be a pain in the ass === Jaie__ is now known as Jaie [03:53] hey guys [03:53] FF3 hasn't given me any troubles [03:53] IndyGunFreak Watch the language [03:53] lol [03:53] I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, and now I can't burn audio CDs from flac files [03:53] cylux: how? there seems to be no solutions posted online [03:53] oh shit, i just accidentally removed applications from te panel [03:53] i've had more trouble with an interface item with ff3, but it's a problem wit hardy not ff3 [03:53] I tried serpentine and brasero, both fail to convert the audio [03:53] raist ummm i do have the volume on the volume applet turned all the way up... i shouldn't still be able to hear it should i? [03:54] thechris: SOmething involving symbolic links, i'm sure. [03:54] chris_420: it being? [03:54] qman__, what about gnomebaker [03:54] hey again..another question...which write method should I use? Session-At-Once? [03:54] I don't have gnomebaker installed, but serpentine worked before the upgrade [03:54] pen: did you try xrandr -s ? [03:54] the click from what appears to be cpu action.... [03:54] Scunizi, I did [03:54] cylux: and then how do you continue install? [03:54] pen and did it do anything? [03:55] cylux: because it waits about 5 minutes then drops you to a shell... [03:55] chris_420: have you tried disabling it? [03:55] Scunizi, it says can't find the resolution [03:55] gnome crashes on me during startup, how do i fix it? [03:55] Baatti: write the cd as a RAW/DAO and at the lowest speed as a single session i believe [03:55] guys, i just removed apps, places, and system from my panel by accident, how do i fix it? [03:55] pen: what resoltion were you plugging in? [03:55] hmmm ... whats it? the applet is close as well as the other applet i had and the manager its self... [03:55] !resetpanels | Wolvenhaven [03:55] Wolvenhaven: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [03:55] sn00zer Start by explaining what changes you have made, unsupported repos you may have added etc. [03:55] can anyone help with a network restart hanging all authentication actions until hard reboot? [03:55] thechris: I haven't done it in a while, but I know it can be done. [03:56] Scunizi, 1200x800 [03:56] And to say there is no answer online is a bit presumptious. [03:56] pen and what rez do you think you're at now? [03:56] lol, how do i get to terminal without the menu bar? [03:56] Scunizi, 800x600 [03:56] Jack_Sparrow: i changed the monitor, i tried reconfiguring with dpkg but that didn't fix it [03:56] I have the following options: SAO, TAO, TAO with no pregap, raw96r and raw16 [03:56] alt f2 gnome-terminal Wolvenhaven [03:56] Does anyone know where on the web I can find a tutorial that takes a real life programming project from start to finish that you can follow along with? Preferably a linux project? [03:56] hrmm.. i can't build the qc-usb driver... I keep getting /usr/src/modules/qc-usb-source/qc-driver.c:3009: error: unknown field ‘hardware’ specified in initializer [03:56] Wolvenhaven: alt-f2 [03:56] I'm off for now. [03:56] this is 64-bit 2.6.25.3 [03:56] Be seeing you [03:57] sn00zer That was after the problem... what about before. [03:57] cylux: hmm, i guess. if it always screws up the same way and actually does make a valid /dev/ramXX entry, i guess i could change the kernel line to point to that [03:57] pen, type xrandr -q and it will give you the different resolutions that it thinks it can reproduce using the current setup. [03:57] Where's the directory for Window decorations located? [03:57] Jack_Sparrow: it worked fine until I changed monitors [03:57] chris_420: if the manager is closed, and the applet closed, then your problem is probably not with the applet [03:57] Scunizi, there are only two [03:57] all the ramXX entries were small, but i guess thats just the files in /dev/ and not the actual size. [03:57] pen: what are they? [03:57] Scunizi, 800x600, 640x480 [03:57] interesting..... raistlinmaje7: i disabled the custom special effects under appearnce and it seems to have gone away... [03:57] snowolf k.. sounds like a manual gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:58] pen.. arg.. have you enabled the restricted drivers for your vid card? and what kind of card do you have? [03:58] Scunizi, nvidia [03:58] sn00zer gotta run... good luck with that. [03:58] Scunizi, I did enable the driver [03:58] bazhang: it didnt work, it reloaded the panels, it didnt reload the menu stuff [03:58] Scunizi, I thought you know the situation [03:58] chris_420: I dunno what to tell you, maybe someone else can help [03:58] soldats: I have the following options: SAO, TAO, TAO with no pregap, raw96r and raw16 [03:58] pen, no.. sorry.. came into it late. [03:58] Scunizi, it's something about initramfs [03:58] aight well now.... wait a little while till i can get a little better PC before i mess with desktop cubing again i guess [03:58] Wolvenhaven, add them back right click add to panel [03:59] Scunizi, I suspect it messed up my xorg and nvidia [03:59] haha i can live with that... [03:59] Scunizi, I ran this sudo dpkg-reconfigure cnosole-setup [03:59] console-setup [03:59] hello [03:59] Scunizi, then after reboot xorg can't start [03:59] gnomebaker can't burn either, fails with error: Could not decode stream.gstflacdec.c(800): gst_flac_dec_error_callback (): /gnomebaker-convert-to-wav-pipeline/decoder/flacdec11: [03:59] bad header (1) [03:59] Baatti: i think you need the raw16 most likely not to sure though. what app are you using [04:00] Scunizi, it falls back to failsafe mdoe [04:00] soldats: InfraRecorder [04:00] Scunizi, thats why I'm in 800x600 [04:00] pen, xorg doesn't have much to do with the video in hardy.. have you tried disabling the restricted driver.. rebooting .. then re-enabling? [04:00] okay im outty... ty raistlinmaje7 you have a good night/day [04:00] ttyl [04:00] Baatti: 1 sec [04:00] kk [04:00] I'm new to ubuntu, but not to linux, used slackware redhat fedora suse before [04:00] where is the alsaconfig? [04:00] Scunizi, no, but do you think this will solve it? [04:00] so strange [04:00] Scunizi, it was working before until that console-setup [04:00] hroi: the command-line version? [04:00] pen.. I'm just looking for different options [04:00] hardy hroi ? what about sound prefs [04:01] Scunizi, and console-setup only changes the fonts used in console [04:01] Scunizi, it did changes initramfs [04:01] hroi: are you looking for asoundconf [04:01] yup, the command line alsaconfig ncurses one [04:01] pen, I think there's another tool.. hang on I'm looking. [04:01] Baatti: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto this should have the correct method. it sounded like you did it fine but this gives you examples to check it for errors [04:01] I want to install Hardy Heron. There is a bug (already been reported) where in some cases (mine) the installer (both live and alternative) doesn't detect my partition table. My plan is to do a fresh 7.10 install (which does work) then update to 8.04 from there. My question is, how much different will my resulting install be from a fresh 8.04 install? [04:01] justafigmen, perhaps never heard of asoundconf before [04:01] Wired Network connection and mouse wont work in normal starup [04:01] displayconfig-gtk [04:01] hori: asoundconf is it i believe try the man pages [04:02] Does anyone know where on the web I can find a tutorial that takes a real life programming project from start to finish that you can follow along with? Preferably a linux project? [04:02] soldats: thanks [04:02] damnit, I'm trying to use egrep [04:02] What install log do I need to look at to narrow down whatever did this? [04:02] JustAFigment, why they have to mess up a perfectly good alsa distro [04:02] what file format are themes for ubuntu? === phenom_ is now known as phenom|zZz [04:02] I mean mess around with what is the norm for so long [04:03] but whenever I enclose a regular expression in parantheses bash complains at me, any idea what's wrong? [04:03] pen, displayconfig-gtk might give you something if you haven't tried it yet. [04:03] Scunizi, what is that? [04:03] raistlinmaje7: are you using single quotes? [04:03] hroi: I have never used either. I just ran apropos alsa to find something related [04:03] pen, it has to do with Ubuntu's Bullet Proof X.. failsafe system.. it should pull a gui settings menu up. [04:03] I need to enclose it in quotation marks? [04:04] Scunizi, I have that installed already [04:04] * raistlinmaje7 feels really stupid now [04:04] i do, with grep -e [04:04] raistlinmaje7: what is the regex your trying [04:04] pen: and you ran it? [04:04] (^ii)[:space;]{2} [04:04] Scunizi, same thing [04:04] I dont understand what happend or how to fix it [04:04] that should be a ":" not a ";" [04:04] Scunizi, I can't choose resolution beyond 800x600 [04:04] dmsuperman: it should be identical... if you want to be sure you see any cool new desktop stuff, create a new user after you upgrade [04:05] pen: ah.. was this an upgrade or fresh install? [04:05] hey guys [04:05] ubuntu, is starting to seem like an unusual linux, if they didnt go with the complete alsapackage, they must have trimmed out the alsaconf [04:05] dmsuperman: probably not necessary though [04:05] how can i stop the login sound? [04:05] dragging the mouse along wiht ctrl and alt doesnt move the cube [04:05] Scunizi, upgrade from fresh 7.1 [04:05] I mean I guess it could be that i installed the HP devvice mamanger for my photsmart printer [04:05] hroi: asoundconf did not help? I am not really familar with it [04:05] evilbug: all of them? or the login prompt? [04:05] hroi: well, starting with hardy, ubuntu is changing to pulseaudio, so that might have something to do with it [04:06] when i try to log on my yahoo with pidgin it says invalid screename ? but i have checked and everything is allright ?? [04:06] why ? [04:06] How do I set a program (In this case, Pidgin) to start up when Ubuntu boots? [04:06] raistlinmaje7- just the login prompt for now. [04:06] evilbug: system/pref/sounds/sounds tab.. should be self explanatory from there [04:06] But HOw do i uninstall this damned hp device manager? [04:06] Scunizi, hm. displayconfig-gtk restart x [04:06] Rikard: if u use gnome , in the "preference -> session" [04:06] !startup | Rikard [04:06] Rikard: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [04:06] Thanks [04:06] pen: I still have issues on my production machine (this one) .. it's an upgrade and won't shutdown properly.. I have to hit the button. so I did a fresh install and WAM fixed.. If you have a separate /home partition you might consider 40 minutes to reinstall vs. days trying to figure out the solution. [04:06] JustAFigment, thanks, looks like asoundconf might get me somewhere, but Im a bit boggled by this... I have alsa installed but very very unusual [04:06] Scunizi, when I press the test button [04:06] Scunizi, but it still doesn't work [04:06] Rikard: u'r welcome [04:07] Scunizi, maybe [04:07] evilbug: System->Administration -> Login Window -> Accessibility [04:07] you should see the checkmark there [04:07] Scunizi, I'm only worried about the settings and the programs I install [04:07] Scunizi, how do I move everything I need working to the new instalaltion? [04:07] Thanks guys. [04:07] my pidgin keeps giving me errors ? it says that my yahoo account is invalid ? [04:07] raistlinmaje7: the shell is going to parse the args before they get to egrep, so you have to use single quotes to prevent that. [04:07] Scunizi, or do you mean I have to do everything again? [04:07] raistlinmaje7: i thought he wanted to change the log in tune.. the africans humming [04:07] hroi: glad i MIGHT have been some help :-) [04:07] Scunizi, omg [04:07] IndyGunFreak, raistlinmaje7- thanks. [04:08] rhizmoe: single? not double? [04:08] How do I uninstalll HP device manager for my HP printer? [04:08] I get this error/warning during startup on my system (it's non-fatal, it contiunes to boot) "piix4_smbus 0000:00:f.0: SMB base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr" [04:08] pen.. if you have a separate /home partition all you have to do is name it as the /home for the new install BUT DON'T FORMAT IT.. and it'll all be there. Couple of things you might have to reinstall but the configuration will remain as before and data too. [04:08] Scunizi, ok, I mean config in system folders [04:09] Scunizi, I know all the settings would be in home [04:09] my pidgin messenger keeps given me errors ? [04:09] can anyone help ? [04:09] pen.. can you be more specific about configurations in system folders? [04:09] How do I uninstall HP printerdevice manager [04:09] raistlinmaje7: single, yeah. doubles will still get parsed. [04:09] grimlock838, how installed [04:09] hello [04:09] anybody uses the Listen Media Player ? [04:09] Scunizi, like grub, nvidia, firefox, swiftweasel...etc [04:09] Nevermind, found a fix [04:10] grimlock838: dpkg -r hplip [04:10] Scunizi, I can't rememebr all of them [04:10] damn... anyone use a quickcam web under 2.6.25? [04:10] I switched to my second workspace called "Special" with no programs in that workspace and left for a minute... When I came back, It logged me out. (I had to log in again)... I also have a message saying "System restart required", but that shouldnt log me out like that. [04:10] ok, my burning problem is getting weirder by the minute [04:10] Listen media player wont show my ipod [04:10] Scunizi, besides that there are menu icons the custom icons too.... [04:10] Scunizi, this will be my nightmare [04:10] I copied the files to the local drive to eliminate the nfs share as a problem [04:10] pen: shouldn't effect grub, firefox stuff is actually in /home in a hidden directory, same with swiftweasel. and nvidia you're trying to fix. [04:10] okay, well, I want to match the beginning of a line, two i's, two spaces, and then anything that's not a space [04:10] still didn't work [04:10] My gaim is not starting...segmentation error (core dumped) [04:10] tried them in gnomebaker, still didn't work [04:10] Scunizi, no, about the compiz shadow bug [04:10] Use pidgin instead of gaim [04:10] I moved the first track to the bottom of the list, and it worked [04:10] Scunizi, that's something diff [04:10] cappicard: have you tried cheese? [04:10] pen: don't know what that is. [04:10] so then I moved the first track back to the top of the list, and it worked again [04:11] how do i upgrade my pidgin ? [04:11] eboyjr: hi.. do you use Listen Media player ? [04:11] Scunizi, and the firefox and swiftweaswel is not about /home is about the flash link [04:11] hi [04:11] why does it keep givien me errors ? [04:11] I'm really confused as to why it's working now and wasn't before [04:11] cheese? [04:11] Scunizi, they are all involved system folder [04:11] arbir: No, I don't. [04:11] CAN ANYONE HELP ME!

[04:17] JustAFragment, internet on linux, windows, and other x86 computers use "sockets." A socket has to be "bound" to an "ip address." Basically, what it tries to be. If you change the IPs of the outside or things inside the network, it continues to try to be the same IP address, even when it should be something else.

I think many of us learned that just now with Hardy [04:27] how do I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:27] does when you go into maunel config [04:27] kdc, try sudo gedit =p [04:27] CLEARviewF: try it, if it doesn't work, then we know its probably not a problem with X [04:28] ok [04:28] kdc1956: gksudo gedit [04:28] kdc1956: or sudoedit [04:28] dose ... [04:28] go to maunel config ... [04:28] grimlock838 hang on one sec. i managed to see sometihng different, its asking me to create a "Default Keyring" what ever that means [04:28] guys it maybe the pidgin's proxy settings [04:29] its probsbly [04:29] not right [04:29] yeah ... that is so that iit will remmebr your pass word [04:29] grimlock838 btw, did i thank you for your attention to my question :> [04:29] nope ... but no prob. [04:29] Kohlrak: lol, i was hoping to resolve the problem with an update since zap was the only update/build has have done for some time. I did screw when I compiled ztdummy and may have recompiled other things in the process. Is there a make world or rebuild everything that I can do? [04:29] I know how it feesl [04:29] Yatas: do you need a proxy? [04:30] raistlinmaje7: it doesn't work, so, it is not X [04:30] raistlinmaje7: i think it is Compiz [04:30] raistlinmaje7 [04:30] not really [04:30] could be, try going back to metacity and see if the problem still persists [04:30] but i need ur help ? [04:30] JustAFigment, if you want to destroy all, you can reformat. If you want to just recompile, just do that and overwrite. Chances are, if they do nothign for a while then magically start doing something, they might not know what they're doing. [04:31] 'could be a new development team [04:31] what's your current version of pidgin? [04:31] kohlrak: can you point me to a guide to recompile and overwrite? The Ubuntu team discourages this greatly and the info is hard to find. [04:31] Dose is it working? [04:32] raist , its 2.2.1 [04:32] Hi folks. I've been having a very annoying problem on one of my machines. If I hold down a key (an arrow key, for instance), I can't move my USB mouse (internal touchpad isn't affected) until a second after the key I am holding is released. Ideas? :\ [04:32] Did you recently install somehting from outside of synaptic? [04:32] neuon [04:32] okay, that's what I have, describe your problem and the type of network you're on [04:33] grimlock838, Nope, and this problem has occurred across two installs on the same machine. The other machine I have running Ubuntu isn't affected. [04:33] grimlock838 as corny/noobie as it sounds, i'm actually making notes right now. I like to document these things [04:33] well, if you compiled it in the first place, just compile it again, and that's recompiling. I don't know exactly what you're doing, but over writing is as simple as copying new files to the same place as old files, which would cause one to have to get rid of the other, usually the older one goes. [04:33] when i try to long on yahoo , it says invalid screenname ? [04:33] grimlock838, I thought it might be a problem with APIC, but doing 'noapic' on the kernel parameter list doesn't help anything. [04:33] my msn works fine on pidgin [04:34] grimlock838, Even stranger yet, the LiveCD doesn't behave this way. [04:34] kohlrak: I wish to rebuild the kernel, modules and all dependencies not just the last package. [04:34] thats weird [04:34] Yatas: did you muck around in the advanced tab when you created your account? [04:34] grimlock838, Tell me about it. Tried an ubuntu forum post too, and nobody could help. [04:34] no [04:34] i never did [04:34] is one a desktop and the other (problem one) is a laptop [04:35] what are ur settings ? [04:35] JustAFigment, you my as well reformat at that point then =p [04:35] yahoo Options [04:35] I don't use yahoo, so I don't have any [04:35] grimlock838, Both are laptops. One's a MacBook Pro (the one with the issue), and the other is a Sony Vaio. [04:35] someone else here might [04:35] raist [04:35] it doesn't mater [04:35] I got an Ip address, domain and DNS configuration, but could not ping my gateway, IT says Destination Host Ubrreachable, Ehat could be wrong ? [04:35] the ports and everything are set [04:35] in ur pidgin [04:36] so just tell me what they are [04:36] How do I install 32 bit binaries? [04:36] kohlrak: I have considered that, if possible though I need to rebuild the kernel so that I can tweak some settings to boost performance of asterisk. [04:36] there are different advanced settings for different protocols [04:36] JustAFigment, then just deletion the ubuntu partition and rebuild on windows =p [04:36] Zaiden, why? [04:36] I am having difficulties with a tf card, when i delete files from it, the space isn't freed and now its "full" (1gb) with only 165 mb of files on it.... [04:36] however, you can try, under Proxy Options, to set it to Use Gnome Proxy settings [04:37] LOL, thanks for your help [04:37] where do i find rc.local so i can add something to start on bootup? [04:37] i've tried fsck on it, and it doesn't report any errors [04:37] tf card? [04:37] Nostahl: locate rc.local [04:37] hey, looking for a live screencasting tool for ubuntu [04:37] the settings is at use gnome proxy [04:37] grimlock838, any suggestions? :| [04:37] I am thinking [04:37] grimlock838, Okay. [04:37] its a mini shdc thing [04:38] one last question for all. Is there a major difference between the server and desktop versions of ubuntu, from a daily users point of view? [04:38] raist , what is ur "port" for yahoo / at advanced [04:38] Kohlrak: I was told to install them if I'm running the 64 bit version of second life [04:38] is it just have ubuntu or is it a dual boot [04:38] JustAFigment: server has no gui [04:38] kittykitty, try unmounting it then remounting it [04:38] i did [04:38] grimlock838, Dual boot with OS X. [04:38] that would be one heck of a difference :-) [04:38] 10.5.2? [04:38] Yatas: I don't have a yahoo account [04:38] grimlock838, Yep. [04:38] so I can't tell you that [04:39] i unmounted it several times, ejected it, re-inserted it, ran fsck when the disk wasn't mounted, basically screwed with it every way possible [04:39] Zaiden, that's for java and flash, which should be fixed in version 8.04 [04:39] what about your viao is that dual boot? [04:39] it doesn't matter raistlinmaje7 [04:39] i'm about .5 seconds from formatting it [04:39] Zaiden: I have installed SecondLife on an AMD64, let me see if I can find the tutorial I used... [04:39] ok.. i'm back in 2.6.24-16 :) [04:39] kittykitty, may have to. I've always had trouble with removable drives and ubuntu [04:39] grimlock838, No, it's got Ubuntu only. Windows is just horridly slow on it, so I decided it would be my Linux-only box. [04:40] raist , just go on pidgin go add/edit select add -> select yahoo and check advanced [04:40] i've popped it into my windows computer and its having the same results with xp and thier disk checker [04:40] * Yatas pets kittykitty [04:40] kittykitty, might be the device itself then [04:40] ROFLMAO [04:40] I got an Ip address, domain and DNS configuration, but could not ping my gateway, IT says Destination Host Ubrreachable, Ehat could be wrong ? [04:40] * kittykitty purrs [04:41] I see ... wells all i can think of is that when I dual booted ubuntu or any other linux distro with xp tablet edition it did weird things that would come and go [04:41] sortudo_78 is the interface up? [04:41] what do you call the latest version of ubuntu? [04:41] grimlock838 it is asking me to create a password for the keyring, should that be my network key to my wireless network? What exactly is a keyring? [04:41] Hardy Heron [04:41] What could be wrong ? [04:41] Er, should I have installed the 64 bit version of ubutnu if I'm running a AMD 64 X2 dual core? [04:41] yes Zaiden [04:41] ubuntu* [04:41] the 64 bit [04:41] how do I get good ol' hardy heron to be part of my windows workgroup? [04:42] edit your smbd config [04:42] trumpetmic, what do you mean? [04:42] A keyring basically stores all your various passwords so that you can use it with just one [04:42] hi, i'm trying to delete some files, could not succeed, i got the message "Error removing file: Permission denied", how do i resolve it? [04:42] now I'm building the ubuntu kernel for opteron along with the modules. [04:42] * kittykitty finds big hammer to format tf card with [04:42] grimlock838, Hm. Well, I'm pretty certain this is some sort of interrupt conflict, though I haven't been able to figure out how the liveCD handles interrupts any differently than my current install. /proc/interrupts is the same. [04:42] kittykitty, can't you format it in ubuntu? [04:42] alright, here are the settings, pager server: scs.msg.yahoo.com, pager port: 5050; file transfer server: filetransfer.msg.yahoo.com; file transfer port: 80; chat room locale: us; encoding: ISO-8859-1 [04:42] Kohlrak: well, with previous versions of ubuntu, I was able to use a simple GUI to specify the name of the workgroup I wanted to join [04:42] hammer will format it better [04:42] Well the live cd only runs off your ram. [04:43] trumpetmic, should still be the same program [04:43] thank raist [04:43] Zaiden: It is not required though. [04:43] hi, i'm trying to delete some files, could not succeed, i got the message "Error removing file: Permission denied", how do i resolve it? [04:43] Kohlrak: i'm having a hard time finding it [04:43] byonix: are you root? [04:43] grimlock838, yes. [04:43] sudo rm filesnames [04:43] What's the advantages of the 64bit? [04:43] How do I change what text mode a terminal is in? [04:43] i think it used to be under System [04:44] grimlock838, but it should still interface with the mouse and keyboard the same way. [04:44] what do i do to auto start a program on bootup [04:44] trumpetnic, do you remember the name? there's a search command (which i and many others keep forgetting is in ubuntu) [04:44] Nostahl: go to System->Preferences->Sessions [04:44] Nostahl-> man update-rc.d or man invoke-rc.d [04:44] Zaiden, bigger registers [04:44] well, update-rc.d if you want to fool about with init scripts [04:44] byonix [04:44] May as well try it [04:44] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/02/how-to-open-files-as-root-via-a-right-click/ [04:44] Byonix: if you use nautilus (file browser) open a terminal and type sudo nautilus which then it will let you clobber anything you like [04:45] Nostahl: try to use /etc/rd.d/rc.local [04:45] I need quick help with samba shared [04:45] samba shares [04:45] Quick question with regards to xorg.conf: I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it immediately starts at the framebuffer question, and always produces a conf with "Configured Video Device" and "Configured Monitor" [04:45] ty [04:45] this plan suck [04:45] grimlock838 okay, i guess the password its asking me to create is a password for the keyring, so with that password, i have access to all the passwords associated with other wireless networks (or passwords to access various programs too, perhaps??) [04:45] locate is the search command [04:45] if you wanted to locate your smbd config, you could just locate samba [04:45] anyone know what might be up with that? [04:45] Yes. [04:45] Zaiden: Also function args are sent over registers instead of call stack which means more speed for any program made specifically for 64 instead of 32 [04:45] unless there is omething about my screenname that is illegal / to ubuntu ? [04:45] : /etc/rc.d/rc/local [04:46] it tells me that I can't access the share, permission denied [04:46] cool [04:46] How can I tell what version I'm running? [04:46] rhizmoe: success [04:46] it tells me that I can't access the share, permission denied [04:46] Zaiden ? version of what ? [04:46] Zaiden, you mean 64 vs 32 or hardy vs gutsy? [04:47] 64 vs 32 [04:47] How do I change text-mode resolution? [04:47] Is your wireless connection working dose? [04:47] Zaiden, try to run a 64 bit program. If it works it's 64 bit, if it doesn't it complains. [04:48] does anyone know why i cant visit some website with ubuntu firefox (i am at a hotel and it wont open the website for the SSL certificate to get on the free wifi) but in win xp it brings up the certificate and lets me accept the terms of agreeement (any ideas?) [04:48] uname -a [04:48] JustAFigment:where do i find my trash bin, i only find root trash bin, and it's empty [04:48] kittykitty , join ubuntu-ps3 [04:48] so ive got a dead icon for an external drive that is nolonger plugged in and i cant figure out how to delete it. any help? [04:48] the one at the lower right of your desktop should be you trash [04:48] I got an Ip address, domain and DNS configuration, but could not ping my gateway, IT says Destination Host Ubrreachable, Ehat could be wrong ? [04:48] byonix Right click on your bottom panel and add to panel [04:49] What could be wrong ? [04:49] sortudo_78: unless you want to post those IP adresses I don't think anyone can help [04:49] Then find trash toward bottom of list [04:49] grimlock838:what to add? [04:49] Trash [04:49] 192.168.0.1 [04:50] and its on my desktop btw [04:50] I upgraded to Hardy and my sound doesn't work. Is there some sort of magic bullet fix for this? [04:50] i will make a paste [04:50] mike_: can you drag it to the trash? [04:50] Meh, I'll just reinstall anyways :/ [04:50] hey guys/gals/bots, I want to do a dual head ubuntu box, what video card would be best to do this? [04:50] grimlock838:still the message "Error removing file: Permission denied" [04:50] grimlock838 Yay, it worked i have internet. Man.. i have so much to do tonight. I'll prolly need to stay up all night. Install it on my laptop shouldn't take long. I still gotta install ubuntu on my desktop. The sh*tty part is, gutsy doesn't support my wireless network usb adapter, I think that'll take me sometime to figure out [04:50] no [04:50] (pci-e bus) [04:51] hello all [04:51] Gand: .50 cal aspirin.. also ALSA seems to work better than pulseaudio for me [04:51] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/02/how-to-open-files-as-root-via-a-right-click/ [04:51] hardy or the new kernel doesn't like my machine [04:51] lol [04:51] sortudo_78-> your route table is incomplete or pointing to wrong gateway...paste in pastebin your sudo route -n results [04:51] Can somebody help me? I've just installed ubuntu and going to install restricted drivers to enable nvidia gpu, how do i do this? [04:51] Sergeant_Pony, where's Topato? [04:51] follow those directions byonix and then right click on that folder [04:51] you guys know the weird,creepy ,nerd name Ikonia ? [04:51] Gand: go into system > prefs > sound and try out ALSA for your output needs. See if it works better [04:51] bobsomebody, go to newegg.com and restrict search to pcie and look for the most expensive thing [04:51] MikeCulver: no kidding.... i changed to alsa in gstream-properties, is that all? [04:51] JustAFigment: when i drag it to the trash it says "operation not supported by backend" [04:51] and open as root .... but becareful [04:52] does anyone know why i cant visit some website with ubuntu firefox (i am at a hotel and it wont open the website for the SSL certificate to get on the free wifi) but in win xp it brings up the certificate and lets me accept the terms of agreeement (any ideas?) [04:52] I dunno? [04:52] byonix: oops, sorry. navigate to you home directory. using the sudo nautilus then in nautilus click on view > show hidden files then look in .trash i think [04:52] Gand: I didn't even think to change gstreamer separately... that must be why totem hijacks my audio [04:52] MikeCulver: in my tinkering it appears I've already set it to ALSA [04:52] Can somebody help me? I've just installed ubuntu and going to install restricted drivers to enable nvidia gpu, how do i do this? [04:52] doseryder I would jst use hardy ...

This is really dissappointing :( [04:54] email is grimlock838@gmail.com dose [04:54] Gand: kill any app that may be using sound.. then try again [04:54] doesn't look too bad for the price bobsomebody [04:54] snowvei: ktorrent [04:54] Gand: if sound still won't play, I would suggest filing a bug [04:54] Can somebody help me? I've just installed ubuntu and going to install restricted drivers to enable nvidia gpu, how the f*** do i do this? [04:54] Gand-> i dont know how to fix sound, but try running speakertest and if you get any ..

[04:55] test [04:55] amenado: nothing [04:55] so how many of you plays the latest microsoft's games on ur ubuntu ? [04:55] sure ... do you have yahoo messager?

[04:56] do you know the command to view the source of the file [04:56] MikeCulver: man... i've been sitting under a rock. dang [04:56] legend2440: what if there is nothing in there? [04:56] amenado: yeah running it [04:56] is it possible to install directx on ubuntu using wine ? [04:56] bobsomebody, i always thought tiger was a little empty selection wise. [04:56] please, send me a paste site ? [04:56] sudo nautilus has to be the best command of all time [04:56] Hello i was wondering if some one could help me get my webcam working i got it to where it works on msn but when i try to get it to work on anything else it says failed to load /dev/video0 [04:56] Kohlrak, yeah but they got a killer deal on these parts [04:57] !paste | sortudo_78 [04:57] sortudo_78: 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) [04:57] ToddED1: what video card you have? [04:57] thename [04:57] bobsomebody, just remember to keep ati with amd and nvidia with intel, sort of speed gain they say, but never been able to confirm it [04:57] Gand-> are you getting any sound coming out of speaker aftet that test? [04:57] grimlocak838 there is a lunix version of yahoo messanger [04:57] 9800GT [04:57] amenado: nothing [04:57] Yatas, Many DirectX features are supported through wine, I don't think you could use any windows installers to 'install' more though, I think you just have to wait fro the wine devs to reverse-engineer it ( but I may be wrong ) [04:57] oops 9600GT [04:57] It's a pleasure to join everyone in the Ubuntu Community! Consider this MacOS/Solaris user converted. ^ ^ [04:57] Kohlrak, ive never noticed that either [04:57] Gand-> oh well, i dont know then.. [04:58] ToddED1: thers nothing at all in hardware drivers? [04:58] h [04:58] byonix: sorry this is taking so long. I am look for the location [04:58] i used to build pc's in a shop and they always clocked out the same [04:58] how do I change the settings for the users? [04:58] legend2440: nothing listed [04:58] Kohlrak, so you think that vid card would work for 2 CRT's? [04:58] I've got a window that won't close, is there like a task manager in ubuntu where I can force it to close? [04:58] (i havent gotten the LCD's yet) [04:58] grimlocak838 there is a lunix version of yahoo messanger [04:58] bobsomebody, not so much the clock as similar architecture. ATI and AMD especially go well because ati cards use amd processors as the microprocessor [04:59] upgrading this mess will take forever, http://x.jaywebdesigns.com/i_win.avi (sorry its so small) [04:59] Jordan / using direct X 10 ? [04:59] Is anyone else using a Mac Pro and might be able to give me a hand switching from the proprietary drivers to the xorg-radeonhd drivers? I'm having a bit of trouble in finding the right way to go about it. [04:59] HappyHater: you can use xkill [04:59] I dont thikn so but there is a a yahoo messager you can use inside of firefox [04:59] how do I change the settings for the users? [04:59] propietary ATI drivers I meant [04:59] asizemore: system>administration>users and groups [04:59] Anyone else have any idea why my Ubuntu install will ignore USB mouse input while a key is held down and for about a second after (but only in an installation, not on a livecd)? Note that my touchpad isn't affected by this, just any USB mice I plug in. [04:59] Kohlrak, im sure the preformance loss will be minimal at best [04:59] Hello i was wondering if some one could help me get my webcam working i got it to where it works on msn but when i try to get it to work on anything else it says failed to load /dev/video0 [04:59] mike_: text based [04:59] How do I change text mode resolution? [04:59] ToddED1: to install the nvidia proprietary drivers you could try EnvyNG its in synaptic [05:00] besides, im going more for dual screen even with 2d only [05:00] i just need something without all the configurations of trying to build openchrome to work with ati [05:00] Jordan_U / how are ur direct X games on ubuntu ? slow ? [05:00] dosent ubuntu have issues with ati also? [05:00] grimlock838 in that case, i might as well download hardy heron. are you on msn? [05:00] or beryl/compitz (one of the two) [05:01] flip http://webmessenger.yahoo.com/ [05:01] mike_: console only [05:01] MikeCulver-> try consolechars, i have not used it before, man consolechars for additional info [05:01] bobsomebody, many with ATI because ATI neglects linux for some reason [05:01] bob: I've heard that the latest xorg-radeonhd drivers are working great [05:01] bobsomebody: check the drivers site, not drivers for everything [05:01] bobsomebody: new FGLRX seems to behave nice with my thinkpad's FireGL [05:01] Hello. is anyone having weird graphics issues? [05:01] Kohlr: that should change with the new open drivers though?? [05:01] asizemore: just a sec. i always access that thru gui, and im the only user :D [05:02] JustAFigment:ok, my the files are 10Gb [05:02] MikeCulver-> if that dont work try sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [05:02] Yatas, I don't game but direct X is almost inevitably going to be slower in wine than in windows [05:02] no ... the only m$ thing i am on is xboxlive [05:02] mgsArch, when did they make them open? I heard that was a while ago, and my card is still treated like XPress 200 instead of 1150 =( [05:02] will try, amenado [05:02] gotta bounce ...

Apparently 'mouseemu' is the guilty party! [05:13] hiro1000: Firstly, just: mount/dev/sda1 will do nothing.

[05:16] hiro1000: Also if the drive is not native linux filesystem you will need to tell mount command what to try like ntfsor such with -t filesystemnamehere [05:16] neunon: BTW, it may not have a name shown in lsusb. all lines describe a device though. look at the numbers then unplug the mouse and run lsmod again to see what is missing [05:16] hiro1000: Use sudo in front of mount command then and put your usual pasword when asked [05:16] JustAFigment, where'd you get that idea? my mouse wasn't responsive while keys were down, and 'mouseemu' caused it.

The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [07:32] should i use the normal 'compiz-config-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm' ? [07:32] Aah, qt3-dev-tools. [07:32] kil20: if you want any chance of someone helping you then you're gonna have to give a bit more info than that [07:33] tarkus, i will suggest the first one [07:33] tarkus: add/remove Advanced desktop Effects settings [07:34] is there is any way to find free space by cleaning up in ubuntu server?

[07:41] want to hear if there is other who have random ubuntu 8.04 freeze? [07:42] i need help [07:42] somebody talk in spanish? [07:42] login [07:42] !es | PaYiTo [07:42] PaYiTo: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [07:42] PaYiTo: !es [07:43] Hello guys. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 to a friend using the windows-based installation. I mean, I installed Ubuntu from Windows. Everything is allright, but Ubuntu does not have acces to the windows's hard disk partitions. How can I get ubuntu to read the windows partitions? Shoudl I reinstall using the live-cd installatinon? [07:43] oops [07:43] thanks [07:43] does anyone know where i can get drivers for an Intel 537 modem for Ubuntu Hardy [07:43] sure [07:43] Ubuntu 8.04 is very unstable. Anyone who can confirm that? [07:43] simarson: Only a few bits of it. Very stable all-around on my end. [07:43] p858snake: -> /etc/network/interfaces [07:44] simarson: i've not noticed any show stoppers yet [07:44] simarson: Firefox has a lot of bugs to work out, I'd call the Firefox-Flash combo unstable for sure right now. === meer_mortal is now known as jubadaphat [07:44] the + on my numeric keyboard doesn't work anymore in 8.04, some bugs is it [07:44] simarson: most things run ok to me! [07:44] firefox-flash combo has been unstable and broken for atleast 6 mounts now [07:44] use disk usage analyzer to see the host (windows OS) [07:44] Another question: With Windoze, the wise thing is to have one hard drive for the OS, and another hard drive for your files/data/photos/etc., so that when you have to reformat the Windoze hard drive, you don't lose your data. [07:44] Is that necessary in Ubuntu as well? Or does reinstalling not require the hard drive to be formatted? Any blue screens of death in Ubuntu? I'm trying to figure out whether I need to get an extra hard drive... [07:45] Does it exist bluescreens in linux? [07:45] "use disk usage analyzer to see the host (windows OS)" was that for me, simarson? [07:45] Buttercup: we definitely suggest that you do that. However, you don't need multiple hard drives - you can maintain a separate /home partition on the same hard drive. [07:45] Buttercup: you could have a own /home partition [07:45] What i mean with unstable is that it freeze random 6-12 times a day! I have to hardboot it every time [07:45] kimmey2k3: We have "kernel panics", which are like blue screens. I've never seen them except when my motherboard failed a few months ago. [07:45] simarson: never been into that, what does the logs say? [07:46] RyanPrior: true that [07:46] but its not like windows *puh* [07:46] kimmey2k3: I have never seen a blue screen on Ubuntu, nor anything like it [07:46] p858snake: -> /etc/network/interfaces OK, I have a superficial but still unexpected problem. I was playing around with GTK themes -- in my user only -- and now when I use a root-only program like synaptic I see the ugliest GTK theme ever. e Why did it change? Before, I think root programs used the same GTK theme that the user was using... [07:47] p858snake: well you need to configure eth0 or whatever in there [07:47] is there like a guide or something somewhere? [07:47] helloo [07:48] anybody could tell me if i can burn winxp.iso to a DVD instead of a CD [07:48] does anyone have any ideas about my GTK issue? [07:48] hi, how do i install java doc 6? i installed jsdk from the source... [07:48] xaphoo: yes, run sudo gnome-appearance-properties === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:48] xaphoo: and select the same theme [07:48] thank you [07:49] damn, those themes are only in my userland [07:49] xaphoo: doh! [07:49] what a pain [07:49] xaphoo: is this gutsy ? [07:49] hi, how do i install java doc 6? i installed jsdk from source... [07:50] anybody could tell me if i can burn winxp.iso to a DVD instead of a CD :D please someone [07:50] no, hardy [07:50] Hello [07:50] I updated my ubuntu system with openvpn [07:50] hello back [07:50] xaphoo: oh humm, i am prolly imagining things then cos i thought they used the same theme in hardy - might be only if you're using system installed ones thou [07:51] 1260 poeple and no one know ? :( [07:51] how do I make them system-installed? [07:51] poweressen: s.b. fine [07:51] Hello, I need some assistance in getting my PC Card to work. I've already tired http://www.lighty2go.com/linux/29/linux-love-for-the-verizon-evdo-usb720/ and that did not work. http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=607 Was the next thing I tried and it worked perfectly, except for the information I need to get from Verizon Wireless. [07:51] xaphoo: you could copy them to /usr/share/....somewhere [07:51] xaphoo: but i'd just run what i said an reinstall the ones you want :) [07:52] i have hardy heron and it keeps freezing up, it will freeze entirely with no error message or anything, just whatever was on the screen, and i have to hard reboot it [07:52] yeah, sure enough if I use one of the default GTK themes in my user, the root program's themes return [07:52] cornet [07:52] yeah that's a good idea [07:52] !heron [07:52] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [07:53] I read the USN 612-3, and I now whats all about... So when I tail -f /var/log/syslog after the update he says ERROR: 'xxxxxxx.key' is a known vulnerable key. See 'man openssl-vulnkey' for details. but when I do a openssl-vulnkey xxxxxxx.key, he says its _NOT_ blacklisted! Im really confused now, what should I do? [07:53] I have a AirCard 595U and am trying to get on Verizon Wireless's Internet. I would like to know if anyone has the information that's needed to get from verizion in the second tutorial or knows of another way to get my pc card to work under Verizon's Internet. [07:53] does someone know how to ignore the vulnkey ERROR of openvpn. I don't have a way to update my shared key, but i need to connect to the vpn [07:53] Is there an ubuntu security cahnnel? [07:54] !root [07:54] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:54] falstaff_: Not in particular, no. This is the general support channel. [07:54] Hello guys. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 to a friend using the windows-based installation. I mean, I installed Ubuntu from Windows. Everything is allright, but Ubuntu does not have acces to the windows's hard disk partitions. How can I get ubuntu to read the windows partitions? Shoudl I reinstall using the live-cd installatinon? [07:55] your partition is NTFS? [07:55] yeah that worked [07:55] installing the theme with root, and then switching over to it with user fixed it [07:56] sadiel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [07:56] Thanks a lot wirechief :) [07:56] whats the deal with losing internet connection on the web..but irc and everything else works fine? out of no where [07:57] im using Live Ubuntu, what is the command to Burn an iso to my DVD-R [07:57] any compelling reasons to upgrade to heron from gutsy?? [07:57] sadiel i just use mount -t ntfs-3 procedures but maybe you can get even more mileage with that help [07:57] the interface is Crazy :P its easier to install than Vista [07:58] sadiel: Do you mean you used Wubi? [07:58] Yes [07:58] There is no separate Windows partition then. === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [07:58] poweressen: brasero is default iirc a gui-app [07:59] sadiel: You can access your Windows files from the /host filesystem. [07:59] Hello all [08:00] poweressen: You can just right-click the ISO and click "Open with CD/DVD Creator" [08:00] poweressen: Or, in fact, just double-click the ISO and it will open up a burn dialog. [08:00] Thanks a lot RyanPrior :) [08:00] !hi | ninina [08:00] ninina: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:01] sadiel: Enjoy. :-) [08:01] Hi guys, I just installed Hardy on my laptop (A sony vaio). Apparently the sound is not working [08:01] :< [08:01] can someone please help me out? [08:01] hmm i don't use sshkeys so .. i don't have that much to worry about the openssh vulnerabilty, right? [08:01] !sound | doseryder [08:01] doseryder: 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 [08:01] vitasoy: yes [08:01] vitasoy: To be honest, this is a huge catastrophe with the SSH thing. All your passwords, credit card info, etc could be compromised. [08:02] vitasoy: still, if such EPIC FAIL about security is possible, It makes me lost trust in ubuntu's security overall [08:02] vitasoy: I'm changing all my passwords and getting a new credit card. [08:02] RyanPrior: privmsg? [08:02] doseryder: i am doing the same right now, but had sound problems before and got help in the #alsa channel [08:02] Steam Store shows a blank page, how do i fix it? [08:02] ljsoftnet: #winehq ? [08:03] snowolf yes [08:03] snowolf you mean tranfer to #winehq? [08:03] ljsoftnet: I mean, if you're trying to access it for wine, better ask there [08:03] RyanPrior: so, this vuln means people can guess my ssh hash right? they can just replay it to my ssh server? I've had that running on my desktop the past five months. [08:03] can anybody help me struggle with acpi handling-related bug in hardy on laptop? [08:03] snowolf ok [08:03] whats the deal with losing internet connection on the web..but irc and everything else works fine? out of no where [08:03] open through my firewall. [08:03] doseryder: i have a sony pcg-v505ex [08:04] Question, How do i install Ubuntu Live on my USB key , becose the full installation doesnt work well at all, i tryed everything. [08:04] wirechief: you too also experience sound problem on your laptop??? So... did you resolve your problem in #alsa tho? [08:04] Can anyone point me to a url where the stupid behavour of the last openssl upgrade is described? I'd really like to know which of my keys it destroyed. [08:04] wirechief: i have a pcg-tr3ap its da small guy [08:05] wam: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html [08:05] doseryder i have three computers, i worked with the devs on #alsa they gave me a few scripts to use and they were able to fix sound problems [08:05] I'm kinda new to ubuntu and I installed 7.10 but I noticed that 8.04 is now out should I install that before I get settled in? [08:05] ninina: I would [08:05] cornet: thanks, i know the problem. But I can't understand why which keys were automatically destroyed. [08:06] doseryder only one computer I was able to figure out using alsamixer the others were with the commands they gave [08:06] hello [08:06] RyanPrior: also..are you kidding about the credit card change? if you're sufficently paranoid, then why not other stuff too? [08:06] wam: destroyed ?! [08:06] ninina: might be easiest to just install 8.04 from scratch [08:06] RyanPrior: Virtualbox [08:06] cornet: yeah - /etc/ssh/* was regenerated and the old keys are lost. [08:06] cornet: even all my openvpn connections died. [08:06] wirechief bear wit me for one more sec.. At the moment the device selected is "Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa mixer)" [08:06] fairly new to Ubuntu, looking to find information of boot splash settings to see system-log information ... [08:07] I've been looking for a solution to my networking problem, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4950294 however I have no responses, anyone have any suggestions? [08:07] wam: humm [08:07] vitasoy: Other stuff like what? [08:07] My terminal goes gray everytime I open it, anyone have any ideas why this is? [08:08] pretty crazy in here... [08:08] RyanPrior: any/all other accounts you use online [08:08] doseryder: at the momemnt my sony is 87% done with install ;) [08:08] before I run off to do a fresh install are there any must have programs? the installable software list is pretty daunting [08:08] vitasoy: I'm changing my passwords. [08:08] Steam Store shows a blank page, how do i fix it? [08:08] RyanPrior: also, it looks like they'd have to still guess what your hash is right? I've been running denyhosts (it auto denys you if you have failed ssh'ing in 3 or more times) [08:09] hello [08:09] vitasoy: That would be to break into your system, but if people cached your encrypted SSL traffic, now they can break it. [08:09] are there any DNS problems with 8.04? this is the second time that i lost web access but everything else works (irc, aim, etc)..i can ping IP's but not addresses [08:09] doseryder: do you wanna meet on the #alsa channel ? [08:09] LOTS of questions, no answers for me :( i want Liveubuntu on my USB key, i cant find the information, im using the Install Disk of Ubuntu right now and booted as Live [08:10] hi.. should i upgrade to 8.04? [08:10] wirechief: sure... are those ppl friendyly (generally) anyways... i'll talk to you there [08:10] ok, weel, cheers then [08:10] anyone using 8.04 already? [08:10] i do [08:10] wirechief: thx for your attention to my problem :> [08:10] yea [08:10] naruto i'm using it [08:10] its working fine? [08:10] yup [08:10] i am using it to [08:10] no [08:10] Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix a driver problem, with an Intel Wireless WiFi Link card? [08:10] xubuntu [08:11] doseryder: np lets hope we can get if fixed [08:11] Steam Store shows a blank page, how do i fix it? [08:11] i installed emerald theme manager and imported a theme but i don't know how to apply it [08:11] 8.04 is very compatible with my new machine. all the drivers are integrated and the interface is perfect compare to windows [08:11] wam: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [08:12] RyanPrior: no i don't think people can get your ssh login password by caching or analyzing your SSH traffic .. if I understand the vulnerablity correctly. AFAIK - they can precompute the hashes that match your password - and basically do a quick brute force attack on your ssh? [08:12] wam: are the keys that were regenerated [08:12] cornet: and obviously something in /etc/openvpn [08:12] My terminal goes gray everytime I open it, anyone have any ideas why this is? [08:12] What do Linux people mean with "works out of the box"? See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36134. Certainly it is not meant a cardbox box that includes a program on a data medium. [08:13] wam: ls /etc/openvpn/*.broken ? [08:13] re [08:13] cornet: nothing. But I'm currently analyzing... [08:13] vitasoy: It's something like that. [08:13] vitasoy: Basically, I don't trust the interwebs anymore., [08:14] wam: odd, i upgraded using aptitude thou rather than synaptic [08:14] I have one nasty problem with hardy: when I close and open lid on my HP500 laptop, system become unresponsive, vmstat shows about 20% Sys CPU usage, and by using ps I may observe constant spawning of "xrandr --auto" and "/bin/sh -c /etc/acpi/videobtn.sh" and "/bin/bash /etc/acpi/videobtn.sh" processes [08:14] cornet: I used pkgsync. [08:14] cornet: which uses aptitude. [08:14] does anyone know how to apply an emerald theme? [08:15] My terminal no longer works it just goes to grey [08:15] RyanPrior: I think you're relatively safe if you don't have ssh server running [08:15] matrix.dal.net [08:16] Steam Store shows a blank page, how do i fix it? [08:16] Hello people, it seems when I use alt tab it sometimes 'hangs' like it flips to my pages for a while. This is not hardware related. [08:16] Fath[0]m : immediately ? all of them ? always ?

[08:26] many times [08:26] "I've never had any problems with my Dell Laptop and Ubuntu, using wireless" [08:26] Have you tried reinstalling or launching it from the terminal? [08:26] Congratulations, that does nothing for me. [08:26] I should find another solution, not using firefox [08:26] Neuron: if nothing else, it means it's not a problem for everyone, and therefore fixable [08:26] yeah get internet explorer [08:26] It's stupid to blame the program if it just doesn't work for you [08:27] ghindo, eh, it wasn't directed at you, I was annoyed at the forum post I'm reading where literally 4 people said that [08:27] I dont see the run command [08:27] About a similar problem that I'm having, with my wireless [08:28] hmm, anyone know why firebug is rendering strange for me in ubuntu 8.04 ?? it worked fine in 7.10 and Fedora 9.. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5602/screenshotzs5.png [08:28] Neuron: What problem are you having? do you have one of the dells with ubuntu preinstalled?

[08:37] clusty, I have no attitude of "I don't know, I don't care" you're reading into some subtext of what I say, that isn't there...I'm frusterated, considering I've been trying to find a solution and haven't had one all day, and yet people constantly tell me how amazing linux is :P It's not "I don't know, I don't care", it's "I don't understand, so why don't people provide solutions?" [08:38] linux is realy cool, i cant make a livecd installation on my usb key, and i cant open my cdrom drive to burn a iso [08:38] Neuron, my bad then [08:38] Neuron, type "dmesg > blah" [08:38] ghindo, yeah, I'm in Windows right now, I'd have to plug the computer directly into the router to test anything, so if you give me a minute I'll switch over, just need to finish this db entry :) [08:39] and paste the contents inside pastebin.com [08:39] or whats the site [08:39] does anyone here have any good references for getting bridged networking to work with Virtual Box and Hardy ?

[08:39] clusty, it's fine, I'm probably sounding standoffish because of my annoyance, and there is no one person's fault when dealing with other people, so I'm sure I came across that way, sorry about that. [08:39] Well, where I use the command Sudo apt-get install, where does it put what it gest [08:39] when I use* [08:40] Fath[0]m: the deb files are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:40] where is there a generic linux kernel image with version 2.6.24-17, BUT not restricted modules for that kernel? [08:41] Fath[0]m in the Terminal ! [08:41] Phlogi__, ubuntu kernel or vanilla? [08:41] clusty I removed br0 as it was listed in interfaces however if I do a ifconfig vbox0 still exists which does not show in interfaces [08:41] clusty: the normal kernel shipped with ubuntu [08:41] DracoZA, did you restart? [08:41] i dont restart tspc [08:41] * root slaps clusty [08:41] clusty yes sir [08:42] I mean why do the release a newer kernel than modules available, that sucks!

(prior to FF 3.5?) [08:43] hes gone anyway, but why sudo -i [08:44] which file is responsible for starting the service , when the system boots [08:44] and does anyone know of a good ip hider for Firefox? [08:45] sup [08:45] poweressen, not entirely sure, but someone on this channel told me so last night [08:45] What do Linux people mean with "works out of the box"? See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36134. Certainly it is not meant a cardbox box that includes a program on a data medium. [08:45] poweressen it does the same thing, so it doesn't really matter [08:45] ghindo, back, on ubuntu, so what am I doing? And thank you in advance for the help [08:46] ok [08:46] what has just happened with ssh server? [08:46] neuron, first describe to me what problem you are having with your wireless. What happens when you try to connect to a wireless network? [08:46] i cant use keys no more [08:46] clusty: you have to regenerate your keys [08:47] ghindo, there is no attempt to connect unforunately :( I can't even try that, it doesn't read the essid, or that there's even a network in range [08:47] dystopianray, so all previous keys are buggered? [08:47] clusty: yes, since about 2005, an openssl security flaw has been patched [08:47] neuron, could you open up the terminal for me and type iwconfig [08:47] I'm getting this error: [08:47] Unable to mount the volume 'Windows'.

[08:47] I have a hard drive I can dump the files on, but I need to get access to the messed up disk first. I don't care what happens to Windows, I just want my files. Anyone know how I can get access to them? It says I can force a mount, but I don't know if that's a good idea or not. [08:47] Buttercup: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:48] ghindo, alright, what part of this are you interested in? [08:48] neuron what does it say under eth1? [08:48] Buttercup: are you unable to use windos to chkdsk the partition?

This is not hardware related. [08:50] what is the thing u want to run [08:50] Buttercup: photorec is one great program for recovering files [08:51] Buttercup: it's possible that the partition is damaged beyond the point of repair [08:51] <[Lowkey]> ghindo: is there a way to maybe emulate windows the same as you can with VMWare? [08:51] [Lowkey], virtualbox [08:51] <[Lowkey]> WINE doesn't really run anything [08:51] <[Lowkey]> Okay [08:51] neuron Have you checked to make sure it's not a restricted driver that needs to be installed? And I know this is a stupid question, but have you checked to make sure that the hardware switch is on? [08:51] [Lowkey], it's a similar construction as VMware is. [08:51] [Lowkey] virtualbox [08:51] does an upgrade automagically fix the ssh vulnerability for the whole system?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:28] neuron...is yoru network enabled? is it even on at all? [09:28] bazhang, I'm still unable to bind the superL key.. [09:28] sorry [09:28] sirhcjw: What seems to be the problem? === ST1M_ is now known as _ST1M_ [09:28] gumpontheweb, yep [09:29] without issues its not linux :P [09:29] it is enabled? do you have a driver/ [09:29] neuron, you have a live wifi spot to test on? [09:29] ghindo: when i try to install updates it says 24 updates but then when i click install it asks for the root password but then nothing happens [09:30] sirhcjw: Try opening the terminal and typing "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" and tell me what happens [09:30] bazhang, ah indeed... 64 bits ;) [09:31] bazhang, yeah, the network is on [09:31] <_tribu_> ////quit [09:32] apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by apt-get) [09:32] neuron, is it open? can you open the router encryption for the test? === Peppery` is now known as Peppery [09:32] bazhang, yep, it is open [09:32] i just install last updates and now my system is broken [09:32] neuron, what does sudo dhclient wlan0 return [09:32] apt-get: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by apt-get) [09:33] any clue? [09:34] bazhang, no offers, and then something sleeping [09:34] neuron, open network manager and set the essid there === CapaH_ is now known as CapaH [09:35] does anyone else have anything to tell me, I have upgraded to 8.04 and dont have the list of my wireless networks. I dont think the thing is enabled and ifup doesnt work, it says eth isn't there or available? [09:35] why i cannot run acdacious and mplayer in the same time? [09:35] bazhang, ok, done, now what? [09:36] neuron, does iwconfig show that essid [09:36] bazhang, yep [09:36] try the sudo dhclient wlan0 again neuron [09:37] i have a hard drive with a windows partition and an ubuntu partition, but i just got another hard drive so i want to install ubuntu on that and extend my windows partition to take up the whole drive. when i try to delete the windows partition from the like cd it says: Unable to delete /dev/sda5! Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5 [09:37] ghindo: it is like i cant open anything as root in the gui? [09:37] bazhang, same :( No DHCPOFFERS received. [09:37] No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [09:38] charlie_, So you're trying to delete the Windows partition? Have you tried gparted yet? [09:38] neuron, run it a couple more times [09:38] sirhcjw: So you've tried other programs as root and it won't allow you to run them? How did the command I suggested work out? Were you able to update correctly? [09:38] Hey does anyone know why my wireless card (when set to monitor mode, using wlanconfig), disapears from ifconfig, while it is still within the iwconfig list [09:39] neuron, also try grabbing it from the nm-applet drop down menu [09:39] ghindo: no i want to delete the ubuntu partition and extend windows to the whole hard drive. when i try to delete the ubuntu partition in gparted it says "Unable to delete /dev/sda5! Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" [09:39] charlie simple, do it with the install disk of windows? [09:39] charlie_, are you running this off a live CD, or within Ubuntu itself? [09:40] which openssl package is secure? Is 0.9.8-5ubuntu3.2 ok? Does 0.9.8-5ubuntu3 contain the bug? [09:40] ghindo: live CD [09:40] i am trying to connect to my ssh sever using keys, i generated the key pairs and copied over the pub keys, but when i try to connect it still asks for password what i am doing wrong [09:40] could someone please help me getting why my network won't work, when it always has? [09:40] ghindo: yes no probs except then the downloads time out [09:40] charlie_, Have you tried doing it with the install disk of Windows, like poweressen recommended? [09:40] Hello? Anyone with some wireless help? [09:41] no i haven't tried that [09:41] LoL [09:41] i have windows installed already though, [09:41] gronne,chapai, is it because you just upgraded? [09:41] bazhang, both of those provided nothing :( I've done it 3 more times, and there's nothing on the "dropdown" list there [09:41] i feel you neuron [09:41] you cannot with linux, try using the lastest partition magic if u want to keep your data [09:42] no, actually not... I can't remember doing anything special at all, it just refused to run [09:42] do you mean the openssh server or ubuntu gumpontheweb [09:42] poweressen, you can delete the LInux partition with a Windows Install cd, right? [09:42] gumpontheweb: thanks. [09:42] poweressen, you can with ubuntu/linux; what you said is not correct [09:43] you simply delete the partition, but i think what she need is to resize his ntfs and its not possible with linux to kee your data [09:43] what if i want to just use my new hard drive as NTFS so i can access it from windows and ubuntu, i can do that in gparted right? [09:43] Is there something I need to do, to re-create a wireless interface, so it will be recognized as a normal interface (ifconfig) [09:43] i just updated and lost my wireless connection spots on the drop down & cant connect [09:43] why is it so hard to bind the winkey?? [09:43] hm, is the openssl bug still not fixed? [09:43] gumpontheweb: My xbox can't get access to my pc's hdd anymore, that's my problem [09:43] icewaterman, yes it is ; just update [09:43] icewaterman: it's fixed in gutsy, i don't know about others [09:43] bazhang: didnt get an update on hardy lately [09:43] icewaterman: sorry i mean hardy, not gutsy [09:44] dystopianray: i updated but openssl was not among the updated packages [09:44] it is fixed for all supported versions of ubuntu [09:44] gronne, i got no clue, sorry! [09:44] if i want to format a secondary hard drive do i set it as primary partition or extended partition [09:44] Ntfs works well with linux but for resizing you will lose data, only partition magic or something like that would work and good luck cracking it without having viruses [09:44] wow [09:44] ah, now it seems available [09:44] icewaterman: your mirror may be slow to update, what version of openssl are you running? [09:45] poweressen: you can resize ntfs without losing data [09:45] dystopianray: dunno, but its updateing right now. [09:45] poweressen, you are mistaken [09:45] i heard its a risk, but ok [09:45] dystopianray: openssl_0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.1 [09:45] poweressen, please stop offering wrong info [09:46] bazhang, the page you gave me helped none, i dont have my device enabled and when i ifup it says eth1 unrecognized(or something) [09:46] icewaterman: ok, that is the latest version [09:46] Well I'm headed back to Windows, Thanks to everyone who helped [09:46] ok, i am off generating new certificates [09:46] I'll bump my thread on the ubuntu forums, and hope that I'm not screwed when it comes to Linux on this laptop :( [09:46] neuron good luck [09:47] gumpontheweb: Thanks mate :) You too! [09:47] well, i read that some people lost data trying to resize Ntfs partitions with linux, i have proof lol [09:47] i am installing a new hard drive as NTFS, should i create the partition as primary partition, or extended partition? [09:47] :) [09:47] poweressen: what proof? [09:47] poweressen, please stop with the FUD [09:48] ? [09:48] can anyone help with this issue http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=636847 ?

[10:23] the trouble with both tar and zip is they would get up to one particular file, then crash [10:23] AussieGuy: why would they crash? [10:23] jrib: thanks [10:23] hiptobecubic: well, your command is wrong... though it still should be working. You want cp -vuR ipod/blah/blah/Music/* ~/Music [10:24] not sure...zip crashes with a code, tar claims to put everything in the archive while only putting in half [10:24] im backing up an entire drive [10:24] jrib, i'll try.... [10:24] AussieGuy: what half doesn't it put in? [10:24] into a single file so its easy to transfer over a network [10:24] AussieGuy: do you have read access to every file?

I want to back up an entire drive so I can put ubuntu there. [10:27] gordonjcp: Yes looks like that is the case unfortunately for me [10:27] jatt: it's most likely that you simply don't have wifi [10:28] AussieGuy: this is not the place for cygwin help [10:28] jatt: no problem, that's actually a good thing in some ways ;-) [10:28] dystopianray: so I will give up and tell the admin of my company to find me a wifi card [10:28] dammit ies4linux python installer dumps core [10:28] jatt: this means you can go and find a wifi card that's likely to work in Linux, rather than being stuck with one of those frankly *awful* Broadcom on-board things [10:28] gordonjcp: yes could be. Actually I wanted to learn how to configure wifi in GNU/Linux. [10:29] I would like to know, if accurate record a CD of ubunto or get it right by installing windows and getting the two together? [10:29] well anyway thats my plan, to back up a whole drive on windows then put ubuntu on that drive [10:29] gordonjcp: are usb wifi cards good? [10:29] gordonjcp: or should I worry about the performance [10:30] AussieGuy: try #cygwin [10:30] jatt: I haven't really used them [10:30] hello? any1 can help me? [10:30] jatt: wifi itself is so slow that usb/pci will make no difference [10:30] jatt: one of the good things is that you can stick them on a long USB extension and move the stick to where the signaal is best ;-) [10:30] dystopianray: unless it's USB1.1 [10:31] oh yeah [10:31] jatt: does your laptop support usb 2.0? [10:31] dystopianray: no idea. I doubt it since it looks like a very old laptop [10:32] jatt: your lspci output suggests that you do not have usb 2.0 [10:32] XUBUNTU RULEZ [10:32] anyone here got ssh-vulnkey in hardy, apparently it comes with the security update for ssh, but i dont have it [10:33] how do i stop my partitions from getting mounted automatically? i already have them set to mount elsewhere [10:33] igravious, is there a way to use "touch" recursively to make an entire tree have the same timestamp? [10:33] thefish: perform a package update [10:33] dystopianray, just did mate [10:33] is there a way to use "touch" recursively to make an entire tree have the same timestamp? [10:33] thefish: your package server may be slow in getting updates [10:33] dystopianray, you mean a dist-upgrade? [10:33] dystopianray: I don't know, it's fairly new [10:34] thefish: an update and that, yes [10:34] gordonjcp: what's new? [10:34] :) [10:34] dystopianray: that laptop that jatt is talking about [10:35] dystopianray: not *new* new, but reasonably recent [10:35] gordonjcp: not really, it's quite old [10:35] dystopianray: it's a P4, I haven't seen USB1.1 on anything that recent [10:35] is ther any download manager with resume [10:35] when is transmission getting updated? It's heavily outdated now. Hardy shipped with v.1.0.6 and the current version is 1.20. [10:36] napster: wget -c http://...... [10:36] i second blame's question [10:36] any one plz [10:36] ok [10:36] gordonjcp: I've seen plenty of P4s without usb 2.0 [10:37] there is no link [10:37] i have dell laptop p4 with usb 1.1 .. [10:37] napster: no link? [10:37] blame: no link [10:37] napster: link to what? [10:37] I'm dying here, trying to install my first program from source... there was no config file, but it looks like they listed what the needed files are in the readme, but I can't find them. [10:37] the url u gave to me [10:38] napster: it was an example [10:38] napster: you're supposed to change that to what you're downloading [10:38] blame: ok [10:38] can anyone help me acquire libgt 4.2+ [10:38] !compile | kajo [10:38] kajo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:38] napster: wget -c is the option allowing you to resume downloads via http and ftp protocols [10:39] joaopinto: I have looked at both that one and the easy to read one. [10:39] kajo, apt-cache search packagename [10:39] I have searched in aptitude, and I cannot find it. [10:39] Kaja, please pastebin your error, I am not aware of any libgt, do you mean libgtk 2 ? [10:39] erm, was kajo [10:40] Transmission transfer rates balloon to impossible speeds [UP=27MiB/s, DL=22MiB/s] how do i fix this? [10:40] I have no idea. xD Should I paste the short list of files that were in the readme? [10:40] @joaopinto [10:41] kajo, no, what software is it ? I will check the source package myself [10:41] So I just used update manager to go from 7.10 -> 8.04 and for some reason the new kernel won't finish loading. [10:41] jatt: i just did some research and it's highly unlikely that you have USB 2.0 [10:42] it's called "anki", if you type that into firefox's address bar, google's I"m feeling lucky will bring you to the homepage. [10:42] jatt: as your laptop has an ICH3-M chipset and USB 2.0 support was introduced with ICH4 [10:42] When I boot in rescue mode, kernel text zooms by until it hits usb stuff and then... stops [10:42] is there any software to resume download [10:42] http://www.ichi2.net/anki/download/index.html [10:42] previously, it stopped right after firewire so i turned that off [10:42] That is a link [10:42] pause and resume it [10:42] the *old* kernel still boots the system however :/ [10:43] The .deb has python dependency problems, so I tried to use the source. [10:43] when the kernel stops booting, it is *still* responding though. [10:43] any one ??? [10:43] i can press enter, hit ctrl-alt-del, plug/unplug usb devices and see them detected on the screen [10:43] last 3 @ joaopinto [10:43] i have nfi what is wrong :/ [10:43] any software to pause and resume the download.. [10:44] napster: how about firefox? [10:44] will someone please look at http://imagebin.ca/view/BojFtiL.html [10:44] napster: or wget with the --continue options [10:44] napster: look into wget plugins for ff [10:44] Kaja, erm, you mean't libqt, [10:44] when i lose my conneston download starts from again zero> [10:44] kajo, right. [10:45] I thought I said libqt? [10:45] joaopinto@ [10:45] kajo, apt-cache search libqt dev [10:45] <[chr0n0s]> napster, rtfm [10:45] Hi all. Would anyone know how I can prevent piix4_smbus from being loaded? [10:45] kajo, I have read libgt, sorry, may had been my eyes :P [10:45] fryfrog:when i lose my connecton download starts from again zero> [10:45] the package you are looking for is libqt4-dev [10:46] kajo: the debian package doesn't work? [10:46] babolat: use alt-printscrn to make screen shots [10:46] sudo aptitude install libqt4-dev? [10:46] @void, no, the .deb has python dependency problems, best I could tell. [10:46] blame: i was actually asking you to look because of a Transmission problem. speeds get so impossibly high but the download is stalled [10:46] napster: i guess you are screwed, the internet doesn't support this "resume" stuff [10:47] dystopianray: thanks for your research :). Regarding USB I've used it with this laptop with an external sound card to be able to hear my mp3 in my hifi system. That card supports USB 1 and 2 I think. But for WIFI USB1 would be too slow I guess. [10:47] where can i set the resolution of the ubuntu splash while booting? [10:47] kajo, I will try to build a .deb myself, but don't wait for it :P [10:47] Ok, thanks. [10:47] What about the other several files needed? [10:47] look at the Transmission dialog blame [10:47] For instance, will I have a recent enough python? === foka_ is now known as foka [10:47] @joaopinto [10:48] blame: then just look at those speeds [10:48] jatt: you may be able to get a pcmcia or mini-pci card instead [10:48] babolat: I did, and? [10:48] kajo: i've just installed the debian package, seems to work fine [10:48] is there a way to just boot into the command line with the live cd? [10:48] kajo, btw, that package provides .deb building rules [10:48] @void, could you give me a step by step? I don't know where I went wrong. [10:48] @joaopinto, I don't know exactly what that means. [10:49] Bryan, have you tried CTRL-ALT-F1 ? [10:49] I noticed the file called debian, but I haven't seen that before. [10:49] blame: it's impossible to get those speeds. at least with my connection. the download does not progress forward, and the speed just keeps building up! [10:49] kajo: gdebi-gtk anki_0.9.5.7-1_all.de [10:49] This is my first source file. [10:49] +b [10:49] Kaja, it means, you can use a command which builds the .deb package for you, also it should teell you what packages are required for the building process [10:49] joaopinto, I just want it to boot into the command line. [10:49] babolat: then pause and restart transmission [10:49] I don't even want it to go through the GUI. [10:49] Bryan, the live cd will always try to start X [10:50] blame: it just goes back to building up until it gets silly [10:50] but like i said, you may able to switch to a text console [10:50] joaopinto, is there a way for it to not boot up the hardrives? [10:50] babolat: silly? [10:50] babolat: limit transimission's speed [10:50] blame: silly as in those very high download and upload speeds are silly [10:51] @void, I actually downloaded the .deb and tried to open it with some built in gui manager it reccomended. [10:51] bah, so easy... /dev/hda -> /dev/sda [10:51] How did you find some repository it was on? [10:51] blame: i tried that but it ignores the limits [10:52] babolat: remove this torrent and start over [10:52] yesterday there was an error for gutsy users with open ssh client. Has this been fix? I just received the update notice. [10:53] blame: not exactly a solution. but heck. i already did that [10:53] kajo: repository? i just downloaded the .deb and installed it. gdebi pulled in the dependencies from the repo, no problems. this on hardy. [10:53] anyone know of a script that examines your hardware and can generate you a optimised kernel .config [10:53] kajo, if you have some minutes to wait a may provide a .deb built for hardy [10:53] babolat: you may have to remove the downloaed file as well and not just the .torrent file [10:54] I'm not using hardy, I'm using feisty. :\ [10:54] yes, blame i did that. [10:54] hi everyone. [10:54] i just finally gave up the download blame [10:54] void, I ran that line, and it just opened some program called "Package Installer", and it's gray. Nothing is happening. [10:54] :\ [10:54] ah, I am not sure you have all the required dependencies on Feisty [10:55] babolat: very odd problems, never encountered similar issues, obviously a bug. [10:55] [C] What is the English name of '->'? "Let p be a pointer to a structure, then 'p->component-of-a-structure' points to the given component." [10:55] babolat: what is connection speed suppose to be? [10:55] joaopinto, I downloaded autoconf (which took forever,) but couldn't get it to generate a config file (my error or program's error, I do not know?), so that I could just download the dependencies. [10:55] blame: the guys at #transmission are as clueless as you and i [10:56] * your [10:56] blame: with my line, it's usually arounf 1MiB/s [10:56] kajo, that software is python based, it does not use autoconf [10:56] Brown-CRMGuest 10:50 -!- Danie2 [n=danic@92.83.85.137] has joined #ubuntu [10:56] kajo: well, on feisty you're probably missing some dependencies. using the source package might not help you either if it actually requires the versions the deb asks for. [10:56] Kaja, install the devscripts package, and run "debuild" from the source [10:56] how to get my ip address commandline so I can use it in another command? [10:57] babolat: try different bt client [10:57] esperegu, type: ifconfing [10:57] "using the source package might not help you either if it actually requires the versions the deb asks for." Why can't I just upgrade? I'm going batty here. [10:57] blame: i will. but first i'll try updating T === playya__ is now known as playya [10:57] joaopinto, what is the debscripts package, and what will that do? [10:58] babolat: let me know how that progresses [10:58] * emma *smiles* [10:58] sure blame [10:58] vemon: that gives everything. I need to have the ip only of the current interface used with the default gateway (internet) [10:59] joaopinto, you keep spelling my name wrong. xD [10:59] it's the auto complete :P [10:59] kajo: sure you can update the dependencies manually, it's just a lot of work [11:00] This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be [11:00] an appropriate original tar file in the parent directory; [11:00] (expected anki_0.9.5.6.orig.tar.gz) [11:00] Continue? [11:00] yes [11:00] A quck question, I configuring an hardy server and I want to use mydns but it seem that it is not anymore in hardy, by doing a search http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=mydns [11:00] I saw that is supported till gusty [11:00] dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 5) python-dev (>= 2.4-1) python-qt4 (>= 4.2) python-sip4 (>= 4.6) python-setuptools (>= 0.6c5) [11:00] debuild: fatal error at line 983: [11:00] You do not appear to have all build dependencies properly met, aborting.

[11:01] kajo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:01] Bobonov, how about using dnsmasq? it's pretty light and does the job [11:01] how to get my ip address commandline so I can use it in another command? ( I need to have the ip only of the current interface used with the default gateway (internet)) [11:02] esperegu: ifconfig [11:02] I want to install ispconfig 3 (it has virtual support finally) but it support only mydns at the moment [11:02] joaopinto, did you see the above pasted? [11:02] Hiya. I'm using Hardy 64bit 2.6.24-17-generic and I'm having some internet problems on both wireless and ethernet in that my connection keeps dropping at random intervals. I've set a static IP to the wireless but am still having the same bother. Various outputs can be seen here http://pastebin.com/m492e292f - unless i totally restart networking, then i get a dhclient eth0/1 response of "sleeping". I am a new linux user so it's probably best to speak [11:02] slowly at me with any response/help. Thanks. [11:02] esperegu, ifconfig eth0 [11:03] pvh_sa|wrk: eth0 isn't necesarily the interface handling the default gateway [11:03] I need only the IP and don't know which interface it is. [11:03] dystopianray, yeah i just realised that after replying [11:03] might change (since I need it in a command( [11:03] esperegu, netstat -nr will tell you what your IP of the default gateay is... [11:04] pvh_sa|wrk: I need it in one line so it will print the ip of the interface that is used for the current default gateway [11:04] esperegu: you'd need to use 'route' to determine which interface the default gateway is on, then use 'ifconfig' to find its ip address [11:04] Did mydns moved in some external repository? In debian repository is still there.... [11:04] any chance someone knows how? [11:05] Kaja, sudo /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends [11:05] esperegu: what sort of ip address are you looking for? you want your external internet ip? [11:05] anyway, if the required depencies are not available, is game over, forget it [11:05] kajo: you'd have to manually upgrade python-qt4 and python-sip4 since feisty has older versions of those. the easy fix is to upgrade your distro. [11:05] joaopinto, I'd like that .deb anyways when you are done, I have hardy on my desktop (this is my older laptop) [11:06] esperegu, if you're need the external ip you can just use www.whatismyip.com [11:06] dystopianray: no the ip of the interface [11:06] it will noy work on feisty [11:06] forget it [11:06] esperegu, ifconfig [11:06] vemon: I prefer http://www.whatismyip.org/ in that case ;-) [11:06] joaopinto, command not found. :( [11:06] when i try to install ubuntu on my athlon 64 desktop, it freezes after it starts up the partition manager. i never see the manager, it just does the loading for it, that disappears, and im leave with a freeze until i do a manual reboot. i checked the cd for errors, no problems. any idea? [11:07] esperegu, well here goes: ifconfig `netstat -nr |grep 0.0.0.0|head -1 | awk '{print $8}'` | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} {print $2}' [11:07] i need a command that will only print the Ip currently used [11:07] that looks like samething! [11:07] joaopinto, it won't work on feisty, period? [11:07] hey my usb flash drive somehow became corrupted, and wont mount. is there a linux way to format/fix it [11:07] pvh_sa|wrk: u ta bomb [11:07] No one using mydns on hardy? [11:07] yes, it wont work, period :P [11:07] joaopinto, did you make that .deb for hardy? [11:08] esperegu, pipes, grep, sed and awk are your friends ;) [11:08] no, since you had no use for it, i have removed it [11:08] pvh_sa|wrk: If u master them ;-) [11:08] kajo: their official .deb works on hardy. [11:08] void^, thanks. [11:08] ciao, thanks for bearing with me. [11:08] oh, [11:08] hello im from germany and i have a question for the visuall effects desktop effects... I cannont activate it... when i click on normal or extra then cames a window with The Composite extension is not available... but iu have installed the extensions... what make i wrong?? [11:09] What is that simple two letter command to see how much space is available on your hardrive? [11:09] kajo, df [11:09] kajo: df [11:09] kajo, or df -h for easy human readable goodness [11:09] Hi! I've been trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my HP Pavilion desktop. It won't work unless I deactivate ACPI. But when I do deactivate it from the installation console the USB-ports are shut down making me unable to access my mouse or my keyboard. I've checked BIOS but cannot find anything related to Power Management or ACPI. Any ideas? [11:09] I was just about to ask, fish, thanks. [11:10] kajo, no prob :) [11:10] Zyndrof: you'll probably need to use an older version [11:10] suddendeatz, does : ps -U `id -un` |grep compiz [11:10] Wouldn't a newer version have better support? [11:10] yesterday there was an error for gutsy users with open ssh client. Has this been fixed? I just received the update notice. [11:10] suddendeatz, show that you have compiz running? or maybe ps -U `id -un` |grep metacity [11:11] suddendeatz, shows that you have metacity running :P [11:11] how can i check it that this running [11:11] Zyndrof, why did you have to deactivate that. What trouble were you having? === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal === sean_ is now known as solarnexus [11:12] suddendeatz, those commands i sent you - esp the first one - if it doesn't show "compiz.real", compiz isn't running [11:12] hej guys: If I wanna check if my ssh keys are voularable I must run this checker: ssh-vulnkey yes ? [11:12] emma: I don't really now, but I have debugged with a list of commands and my conclusion is that the installation won't continue if I don't turn off ACPI. When I don't it shows a bunch of errors and locks in console mode. [11:12] Zyndrof, hmm. [11:12] Zyndrof, did you try putting it in safe graphics mode? [11:13] Or I'll ask otherwise, how can I change generator for fingerprints for ssh ? [11:13] I had a problem with my instalation until I put it in safe graphics mode to enter into the live CD [11:13] When i try to install ubuntu on my athlon 64 desktop, it freezes after it starts up the partition manager. i never see the manager, it just does the loading for it, that disappears, and im left with a freeze until i do a manual reboot. i checked the cd for errors, no problems. any ideas? [11:13] emma: No, haven't tried that. But I did try both the Live CD and the Alternate one. [11:13] frojnd: it's fixed [11:14] void^: from when? I've installed ubuntu server yesterday [11:14] frojnd: just make sure it's up to date. [11:14] hi all [11:14] Is there a way to use the *-blacklist packages for debian?

[11:28] pvh_sa|wrk: probably a stupid question but how can I include the line you gave me in another command? [11:28] Zyndrof, what kind of system do you run? [11:28] I am running gutsy. Yesterday I was watching this channel for a while and saw that there were errors for some users who updated ssl auto update. I have an update for this package in the auto update [11:29] esperegu, if you want to put that value in a variable, enclose the whole thing in ` ` - so e.g. MYIP=`` [11:29] now. is it safe to upgrade this yet?

(like xmms) [11:32] Don64, i see no reports of errors in the update [11:33] alexandremrj: thank you : ) [11:33] Don64, and besides, it's a biggest security flaw if you don't update [11:34] Thanks agin [11:34] again* [11:34] what's the best way to run a command at boot? [11:35] session manager [11:35] Zyndrof, what about running it in noapic pci=routeirq [11:35] esperegu: at boot or when you log in? [11:35] esperegu: system > prefs > sessions [11:35] esperegu, you can use /etc/rc.local ? [11:35] alexandremrj: boot [11:35] before loggin in [11:35] my bad [11:36] esperegu, at login time? then add it to your session with System -> Preferences -> Sessions [11:36] pvh_sa|wrk: that file has an exit 0. so I can't just add to it. is there an easier way? (I want people to be able to just paste it into a terminal) [11:37] esperegu: that will have to be by editing text files but i'm not an expert in that so can't help you, sorry [11:37] pvh_sa|wrk: no. before loggin in. so even if they don't login [11:37] kling0n: how do i list the devices to find the devicename [11:37] emma: noapic has proven to make no difference... But I'll try that combination. Any other tips? It's not fun restartin the computer over and over when it doesn't work :P [11:37] esperegu, add your commands to /etc/rc.local [11:37] esperegu, then /etc/rc.local runs at boot time, so you'd want to use that [11:38] pvh_sa|wrk: I was hoping that an echo 'command' >> /etc/rc.local [11:38] biabia: you could simply try typing dmesg' [11:38] ok [11:38] pvh_sa|wrk: but the exit 0 is preventing that right? [11:38] esperegu, and add it before the exit 0 ;) [11:38] to get the output from the device load [11:38] hola [11:38] biabia: otherwise, you could 'ls /dev/' [11:38] comoestan [11:38] !es | kasco [11:38] kasco: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

I don't really have any other ideas though. [11:39] i want to restrict what a user is able to do on my system.. i want to set up a machine as a "info kiosk", meaning they can only use the computer for web surfing purposes.. how can i easily set up something like this based on ubuntu? [11:39] pvh_sa|wrk: is there a way to do that on a commandline that one can just paste in a terminal then? ( like the: echo 'command' >> /etc/rc.local ) [11:39] alguien espanol [11:39] but than that it is placed before the exit 0 [11:39] esperegu, no, i'd recommend editing /etc/rc.local with gedit or maybe vi ;) [11:40] hi [11:40] emma: Ok, thanks... I'll try it in a minute and we'll see how it goes. [11:40] how would I start a python script as a linux service? [11:40] esperegu, there *is* a way, but why complicate things? i mean, you could simply delete echo 'command' >/etc/rc.local (and overwrite the file) [11:40] pvh_sa|wrk: hm... the people that have to do this are really noobs... pasting in a terminal is aready hard. editing is a little to much I think [11:40] can i get german help here ?

[11:41] esperegu, so echo 'command' > /etc/rc.local - no need to save that exit 0, is there? [11:41] pvh_sa|wrk: yeah. but my local file here has already something in it for example. you never certain right? [11:41] joaopinto: for example apache, starts up as a linux service. [11:41] esperegu, *sigh* ok, then write your command to file.sh, and cat file.sh /etc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local - that will append the existing rc.local at the end of your commands [11:41] pvh_sa|wrk: I don't wanna mess up a workin rc.local [11:41] idefine, well, running it a startup is easy, you just need to add it to /etc/rc.local [11:41] esperegu: why not create a user that logs in automatically and has no permissions so you can create that kiosk mode? [11:41] running it as a service implies creating a start/stop script and the respective links [11:42] alexandremrj: others should install the pc.

[11:55] kelvin911: i once had to finger paint in 7th grade, can you believe it. [11:55] i think force grade 4 to learn linux command is to much [11:55] but it is good idea to teach them how to uses linux x windows [11:55] kelvin911: just the basics, runing and play with stuff, [11:55] i start using x windows when i am in first year university [11:56] back then win2k looks way better than solaris x windows [11:56] so i keep using windows [11:56] probably i am also a gamer so i keep using windows i didnt switch [11:57] Radit: System, keyboard, Layouts, Layout Options(in the button on the bottom), there you have a window where to customise win key [11:58] How to compiler "mysql-server.tar.gz"? === Ce_iMoEt is now known as Ce_LutCuW_NgETzZ === Ce_LutCuW_NgETzZ is now known as cE_LutCUw_nGEtz [11:59] hey all, every night i get this "update your stuff" little triangle, and every night i try to find this tor repository and try again and every night i get this error Failed to fetch http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found and Failed to fetch http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/dists/hardy/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [11:59] how do i fix [11:59] ps sorry for flooding [11:59] try other mirror?

[12:01] moDumass: http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/dists/ - only stops in other dists [12:01] moDumass: there is no hardy, so it can't find it [12:02] virtuald according to the tor channel the tor in hardy is way old [12:02] (((((( moDumass )))))) [12:02] ok [12:02] there is experimental-0.2.0.x-hardy/ in that dir [12:02] kelvin911: yes [12:02] alexandermrj ok, cool, i think the site said "replace dist with your distro as in gutsy or feisty" [12:03] so i did [12:03] moDumass: its in ubuntu repos [12:03] hows it goin [12:03] moDumass: try if the gutsy package works [12:03] tor - anonymizing overlay network for TCP [12:03] !info tor hardy | moDumass [12:03] modumass: tor (source: tor): anonymizing overlay network for TCP.

During the installation, whenever I write anything in the console that turns of ACPI, I get to the settings window, no matter if i use the alternate CD or the Live CD. What happens then is that USB-ports shut down and I'm stuck since I cannot use my mouse nor my keyboard. I have tried starting in safe graphics mode and all of the following boot commands: noacpi, nolacpi, noirqpoll, irqpoll, nosmp, acpi=off, noa [12:04] moDumass: the version in hardy is up to date [12:04] alexandremrj: tor is stable in hardy and hardy is stable [12:05] moDumass: what ubuntu version ar eyou running?

Will this break anything? [12:06] moDumass: than just install tor :) its version 0.1.2.19-2 [12:06] gnomefreak: i said i didn't recomend the experimental package in the link he supplied although he could try it [12:06] hmm, yeh but the tor that is in repos is old according to the admin on the channel "tor" [12:06] it's always best from the repos [12:06] alexandremrj: oh from the unofficial repos you mean [12:06] hello [12:06] um, so how do i remove the repos in that list [12:06] im looking for it, i dont think its in sources.list [12:07] gnomefreak: is it save to not have ubuntu-desktop package?

[12:07] moDumass, that is intentional. The repos are supposed to be stable versions of software. You don't want to mess with your sources.list [12:07] kelvin911: yes safe [12:07] moDumass: see if you have it in the third-party lists [12:07] gnomefreak: how to make it so i have the ubuntu-desktop package installed without pulseaudio? [12:07] jenda: on stable releases not as important [12:07] is it possible somehow to boot from the ubuntu livecd and from that run something that checks that all packages on the ubuntu-installation on the harddisk is correct? [12:08] because the pulseaudio is creating problem here [12:08] is it? [12:08] kelvin911: ubuntu-desktop being removed is not a bad thing its only the package not everything [12:08] kelvin911: no sound with flash problem? [12:08] gnomefreak: then what is the point of ubuntu-desktop package? [12:09] Does anyone know the apt-get or dpkg command to print all installed packages? I looked in the help and didn't locate it [12:09] hi, when i try to connect to my gumstix minicomputer via bluetooth applet i get "couldnt disply device obex://[MAC]", i have obex-vfs package installed. i need it as a serial cvconnection to shh to the minicomputer. no authentification is required [12:09] when i have pulseaudio i cant play sound in more than one app [12:09] kelvin911: installing it brings in tons of packages but its an empty meta package [12:09] kelvin911, you still asking about ubuntu-desktop package? [12:09] kelvin911: ubuntu-desktop package simply helps glue everything together for the dist upgrades [12:09] so it lists everything that isn't on the installationcd or in ubuntus servers sort of... [12:09] for example when i play mp3 in rhythmbox then i cant have sound in games [12:09] kelvin911: ah yes there was a work around for htat [12:09] that [12:09] kelvin911: sure those apps are setup to use pulse? [12:09] or vice versa === cE_LutCUw_nGEtz is now known as cE_pHeN_CybEr_nI [12:09] kelvin911, that was all explained to you yesterday [12:09] also the mp3 song in vlc is skipping and having poping sound [12:10] now i dont have system sound [12:10] weaseal, the dpkg -l command [12:10] weasel -- dpkg --get-selections > installed-software.txt [12:10] if I unmark something in adept and apply it, will it be COMPLETELY removed from the system? [12:10] i know it is not a big deal but do i need to install maybe esound package so i can have system sound? [12:10] kelvin911: i cant remember if the fix hit or the workarounds. crimsun was PA every fixed concerning multiple sound apps at a time? [12:11] Question: if my eth0 is set to roaming where do I set the DNS server ? (non dhcp) [12:11] kelvin911, you have gone from pulse to alsa to pulse; with all the installing and reinstalling and so on it is a wonder you have sound at all [12:11] Hi, Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between virtual desktops?? I find it really annoying having to grab the mouse to do it. [12:11] weasel: Open a terminal and type: dpkg --get-selections > installed-software.txt [12:11] ctrl+alt+arrowkey [12:11] @becker [12:11] bazhang: i didnt go from pulseaudio to alsa [12:11] kora gottcha thanks :) [12:11] then you should find a file called installed-software.txt has been made with all your installed packages [12:11] what's dpkg? [12:12] kelvin911: I know this sounds stupid but when i installed pulse the first thing the pc did to me was mute my sistem, but not in the general [12:12] killall pulseaudio fix all problem [12:12] spaceninja, what works to make apt get the job done :) [12:12] spaceninja debian package sumthin [12:12] !info dpkg [12:12] dpkg (source: dpkg): package maintenance system for Debian.

[12:14] 7 differerent package managers?! [12:14] spacemoose, synaptic package manager is the GUI for the apt-get tools. dpkg is the workhorse under all of them. [12:14] emma, I have never made a seperate /home . I always just let the installer do the partitioning [12:15] spaceninja: relax, apt-get, synaptics and add/remove are the same [12:15] kelvin911, what about setting system sound to 'on' in sound prefs [12:15] spaceninja: just guis [12:15] ok [12:15] IdelOne - Yeah so when I made my /home partition it was by doing a manual install. [12:15] good [12:15] bazhang: to on?

Apt is still wanting to install the older package (I've run apt-get update already) [12:40] zoobox: but if someone have changes some important parts of my ubuntu-installation (either directly using my computer, or some evil soft that accesses my ext3-partition from windows, or stupid myself that installed that cute game that had to be run with sudo of some reason) ... then I can't know if there is backdoors in my system now? [12:40] exot, just a summary would been sufficnet. :) Try a 'sudo apt-get update, and upgrade' then try again?

OR it may be the server you are using has some issues. You could try installing libc-dev manually, or g++ manually. [12:41] its compiz and default hardy [12:41] <_adriaan> anyone else having problems with firefox (3) on hardy? (Every page seems to stop loading halfway, images don't render properly) [12:41] well now this is something.

[12:42] Flynsarmy, you did backup your xorg.conf beforhand? and you did run the tool as root? [12:42] bazhang, Np :) [12:42] Thank YOU for the help :D [12:42] and guess what version of firefox ubuntu pushed on us?

[12:43] Flynsarmy, gksudo or whatever the gnome sudo command is. [12:43] DOOM_NX: i got font problem, sound problem, randomly crash [12:43] Dr_willis, yes they broke it with the include of the FF3 beta. [12:43] i see :/ [12:43] !gksueo [12:43] Factoid gksueo not found [12:43] <_adriaan> oh [12:43] !gksudo [12:43] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[13:11] livingdaylight: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_%28web_browser%29 "The Epiphany team intends to drop the Gecko back-end and continue forward only with the WebKit engine". I assume.

Compare versions to make sure you aren't getting something too fragile and untested.

[13:14] tdawgedogg, for syngery i was thinkign that config was /etc/synergy.conf - Your user should have permissions to write to their own home directory. If not you got some issues.

[13:16] why not just put the one epiphany? caramba [13:16] livingdaylight: No idea, probably to give people a choice :) [13:16] livingdaylight: because it reflects the current state of epiphany upstream.

[13:19] bazhang, yes :) [13:19] I've just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy, and I'm seeing the "black window bug" when I use compiz. I have an NVidia GeForce FX 5700 Ultra graphics card, and I'm using the restricted driver. Anyone else seen this? [13:19] livingdaylight, I consider Firefox and Opera to be quite good browsers [13:19] neuron, well, successful attempts to connect will do that; best to have a back up box while you do this if at all possible [13:20] livingdaylight, Por favor, utilice #ubuntu-offtopic para seguir discutiendo. :D [13:20] bazhang, I can come on here with my room mate's laptop, would that help? [13:20] by the "black window bug" I mean that when I open a window, it is completely black, though it responds to mouse clicks. Googling suggests these symptoms match a bug in the NVidia driver that was fixed long ago. [13:20] neuron, that would be more suitable [13:20] bazhang, ok, give me one minute to get it then!

[13:25] is there a way to use two RSA keys for 2 servers? [13:25] bazhang, alright :) IRC is connecting on that side, shall we go on? [13:25] (I removed the 2 samba mounts, as they might be regarded as confidential at work ;) ) [13:25] and how do I make SSH aware of them?

[14:37] bazhang: I think I am talking about Samba [14:37] zetheroo, samba or nfs or what [14:37] sortudo_78, this is a dual boot [14:38] hello [14:38] <\`slushpuppy`\> Hiya, could anyone please message me a list of fonts which you like. Thanks. [14:38] is it possible to delete some of the gnome games but not all? [14:38] bazhank, yes it is a notebook with dual boot, windows xp and ubuntu 8.4 [14:38] !fonts |\`slushpuppy`\ [14:38] \`slushpuppy`\: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [14:38] bazhang: all I would do in Gutsy is right-click on a folder and share it on the network .... and I think samba would be installed automatically from the first time on..... [14:38] hello Rafase282 [14:39] knaaa, If you want to remove the CONFIG_IEEE80211 from the kernel I think you will need to recompile the kernel. That will take you quite some time as it is not a straight forward procedure [14:39] bazhang: but in Hardy I cannot share my own folders in the Home area in the same way [14:39] sortudo_78, when in windows make sure that that nic is not shut down by windows--seen it happen with that before [14:39] if i boot a debian live cd the internet works fine !!! [14:39] i'm still not having much luck in getting internet sharing to work, despite having used the guide from !ics and the links. Firestarter won't work as it complains that eth0 isn't ready, despite that it is. [14:39] sortudo_78, try creating a nother user [14:39] bazhang: I have to instead open gksudo nautilus and share the folder through there..... any idea why this is? [14:39] knaaa, you need to know exactly what hardware you have. [14:39] How are you zoobox?, Do you know how to join a office network with windows xp machines? [14:39] ok i will try [14:40] I used to have that OS now I changed to Ubuntu Hardy Heron and want to join my network again [14:40] hischild: have you verified that eth0 is the correct interface? [14:40] zoobox: I don't think it is. they appear to all be in one package [14:40] Rafase282, from an ubuntu box or what [14:40] Rafase282: you need Samba [14:40] sipior, eth0 is the correct device, connecting to the router which leads to the local network. Wlan0 is the wireless device which leads to the other network which has internet access. [14:40] Rafase282: what is an "office network" ? (a lan?) and what do you want to do... share files with smb/samba? [14:40] it is wifi [14:40] wireless [14:41] Rafase282: you can manually edit the smb.conf file to join a workgroup already present on your Windows network [14:41] yes i want to share files, mostly like open their files [14:41] sortudo_78, create another user and see if that works [14:41] On ubuntu server 6.06, how do I enable dapper-updates? (that is, what do I put in sources.list?) [14:41] Vlet: how bad... half of the games are nice, but the other half is poo. and my game-submenu is full [14:41] mechdave that is ok ... [14:41] since my laptop is not officially part of the office, but since is "my" network and i work with it i need to sometimes open files form one of the pcs here [14:41] Can I register a domain name, and use a dynamic DNS service to point to it? (Have you done this?) [14:42] can i use this explaination? http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Kernel_Upgrade [14:42] Hi everyone... I'm wondering if someone can help me with a dual video problem. I have an onboard Video Device, and a PCI-E Video device in the machine. The PCI-E Device has priority, but the system becomes unbootable with the device installed. [14:42] <[chr0n0s]> hi, are there any replacements for alt+f2 run application dialogue box?? [14:42] [chr0n0s]: gmrun [14:42] hon offtopic for here thanks [14:42] zoobox: use the 'main menu' control panel to remove them from the menu [14:42] hon: you can get a free sub-domain using dyndns.org .. if that's what you meant... [14:42] or please, explain me how to substitute the module, may i try it out first? [14:42] hon: but this is a support channel.. ask in #ubuntu-offtopic instead [14:43] <[chr0n0s]> dennda, thanks a lot [14:43] the only package i found was 8021q.ko [14:43] an other user got the same message for ping 192.168.0.1 ; destination host unreachable !!! :( [14:43] Slart: thanks, sorry for the noise (and channel abuse). [14:43] I have nothing downloading. But something is taking all my harddrive space really fast (you can watch it sinking lower and lower by the second) Can anyone help me find out what it is? [14:43] hon: no worries [14:43] sortudo_78, try and listen-->please create another user or use the live cd to test [14:43] hischild: there are two networks here, the external one has access to the general internet, and you're trying to forward a connection from an inner, protected network through to this external one? do i have that right? [14:43] I have DVD playback working in Ubuntu 8.04 but the video seems unnatural and player settings don't fix it, I hear it's because linux checks video packets before playing them or something. [14:44] I would like to dual boot fedora and ubuntu, how should I partition my system? I want to have a common home. [14:44] ok i will use a debian live cd to test [14:44] ok? [14:44] knaaa, ok then if you add it to the blacklist file then it won't load [14:44] sortudo_78, no use ubuntu cd [14:44] crazy_bus: logs? look in /var/log.. or use the disk usage analyzer [14:44] how should I partition my system ? [14:44] sipior, you're close. there's an external network which has internet access, which comes in via wlan0 on ubuntu. I have a local network to which ubuntu connects via eth0. I'm trying to share internet from wlan0 to eth0, so that others on my network can access it as well. [14:45] bloops, with a partitioner ;) [14:45] gparted or with the installer bloops [14:45] mechdave yes its ok, please give me a line, how i can blacklist the module with substitute [14:45] ... [14:45] bloops: you would essentially duplicate the /boot, /usr, /var and /tmp for Fedora and Ubuntu and keep the /home the same.. [14:45] how to use RESUME ON ALARM in BIOS [14:45] bloops: create 4 partitions, one for each system's "/", one for /home, and one for swap [14:45] Nikunj93, set in BIOS [14:45] hischild: have you tried using iptables directly? [14:46] bazhang i ahve set time in BIOS [14:46] sipior, my knowledge of iptables isn't sufficient to know how. Also, it would appear that things are more complicated due to a router being in the middle on the local end. [14:46] bazhang: but system not waking up [14:46] mechdave how to "knaaa, then substitute the grep argument for CONFIG_IEEE80211" [14:46] Can I host a server without a domain name but still the people would able to browse the website? [14:46] bazhang: i tryed with ubuntu live cd, the same ocurs destination host unreachable [14:46] Slart: which sort of logs should I be looking at there? [14:46] Hi everyone... I'm wondering if someone can help me with a dual video problem. I have an onboard Video Device, and a PCI-E Video device in the machine. The PCI-E Device has priority, but the system becomes unbootable with the PCI-E device installed. With the Onboard video device, it works fine, with minimal 3D Accelleration. [14:46] Nelson_Apart: yes [14:47] Ok, is there a need for a separate /boot ? [14:47] knaaa, open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [14:47] crazy_bus: anything growing.. [14:47] Nikunj93, you got hibernate working or not [14:47] apart from the two / partitions? [14:47] hischild: where is the router? are the wireless clients not connecting to the nexus ubuntu machine directly? [14:47] Hey guys is the ubuntu repos still broken? [14:47] crazy_bus: it's the only think I know of that just keeps increasing in size [14:47] bazhang: i have dual boot both XP and ubuntu [14:47] !repomirror | vbabiy-laptop [14:47] vbabiy-laptop: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [14:47] <[chr0n0s]> how do set alt+f2 to run gmrun [14:47] Slart: my logs and system files are on a separate partition [14:48] Nikunj93, you got hibernate in ubuntu working? [14:48] bazhang: I know that I have and I still get the error [14:48] crazy_bus: which partition is slowly growing out of free space then? [14:48] bloops: if you really wanted to keep it simple you'd create just 4 partitions in total..a / for Fedora, a / for Ubuntu, a /home and SWAP partiion..both of the last two would be shared.. [14:48] vbabiy-laptop, then choose another [14:48] knaaa, then add the ko file you found to it and it will not load the module next reboot [14:48] bazhang: also when i i click on Hibernate in UBUNTU a black screen comes with a line written and at the end of that line its written activation failed but then after 15 secs the pc goes off [14:48] bazhang: I have chosen like 10 [14:48] mechdave ok, and when i want to add the module, how can i be sure that it will be installed when i emege a new version? [14:48] bazhang: so is this u call hibernate working? [14:48] Slart: /home and not slowly either, way faster than my internet [14:48] Nikunj93, then ubuntu does not work? [14:49] Please! some one give me a ligth, i dont imagine what is hapennig here, i have no idea :(((( [14:49] bazhang: [14:49] and what do i write? 80211 or 8021q ??? [14:49] knaaa, just delete the line you added in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [14:49] sortudo_78, what is that hardy or gutsy live cd [14:49] sipior, they are not. Assuming nexus ubuntu machine means the ubuntu server (call it server for the ease of mind), they are not. Both connect to the router on the internal lan. The server connects to both routers, internal and external lan. [14:49] after getting that blank screen the power off the pc goes off [14:49] sortudo_78: What network carD? [14:49] mechdave and what do i write? 80211 or 8021q ??? [14:49] crazy_bus: hmm.. any special folder? use the disk usage analyzer and tell it to scan your home folder === hischild_ is now known as hischild [14:50] i am many days with this problem, i am quite forgoting ubuntu, but i loved it :( [14:50] realtek 8139 Pici [14:50] <[chr0n0s]> how do set alt+f2 to run gmrun, using gconf-editor...

[14:53] hischild: if you try "sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.1", does it work? replace the ip address with the ip address of your ubuntu box that faces the external network.

I want to book directly in to the Advmenu program. I am trying to save as much of the system resources as I can for this. Any suggestions?

[15:08] sipior, the main connection is about 10 meters away, 2 stories high, no ground in between to run it. I am the most central person, and it comes in on wlan on his room, not mine. [15:08] It's hard too dude, I mean it's a subjective thing. [15:08] Slart I was going to use TWM just to boot into Advmenu for my arcade machine. Not for the family. [15:08] Under the session options tab there is only remember current appliactions and automatically remember when logging ouy [15:08] I'm explaining to you how it looks [15:08] hischild: ah well [15:08] Viden: no admin group? What group is defined in /etc/sudoers? sudo cat /etc/sudoers [15:09] miickee: perhaps you could try using VLC and playing around with the interlacing settings [15:09] whileimhere: ah.. then twm might work.. and I don't think you have to worry about memory consumption and such.. not even if you only have 128Mb of memory [15:09] I have tried. [15:09] Slart: Just curious but will I be able to use my wireless in TWM if I try it on this desktop? [15:09] Vlet: Can I talk to you in another window? [15:09] Vlet: i installed 8.04 amd64 and have two wlan cards in it, rt2561/rt61 , rev 2 & rev3. it seems they cant conect to AP with speed more then 2Mb/s and they show max up to 11Mb/s , they both should work up to 54Mb/s. any tips how to fix this ? [15:09] miickee: no [15:10] Damn. [15:10] Vlet: Elaborate on deinterlacing settings. [15:10] whileimhere: oh.. I have no idea... no clue at all.. I guess it would depend on the drivers for your wireless chip.. [15:10] m1r: How did you know your connection rate is currently 2mbps? [15:11] Because this "weirdness' in video is consistent in all my video players [15:11] language miickee [15:11] slart: BRB going to give it a try [15:11] rutgermasi: network manager [15:11] can anyone help me configure samba? [15:11] I am having problems getting remote syslog'ing to work. I have set SYSLOGD="-r" and restarted but no luck (port 514 still reports closed). Anyone help? [15:11] m1r: Network manager gives you 2mbps? [15:11] miickee: play the dvd using vlc, and in the video > Deinterlave menu, try out the different settings [15:11] In my notebook I have 512 ram. Since a while it was very slow and now I recoginzed that ubuntu shows me only 256 now. what can this cause? is there a memory test program that I can run? [15:11] dropbear: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [15:11] sipior, also a direct cable to the server won't work :( [15:12] rutgermasi: network information>2Mb/s , both card conected to same AP [15:12] dropbear: but i have no admin group ... just administrator [15:12] Vlet: This is just great, I used to have sound playing dvds and now I don't. [15:12] Slart: TWM does not show up in the GDM sessions [15:12] Greetings. I'm playing WoW with 2 different characters at the same time (same computer, just separate workspaces), but I'd like to be able to steer both (with different keys of course) at the same time. How would you go around solving this? [15:12] m1r: Could u try a speedtest on the internet? Like speedtest.net of .org, dont know which [15:12] miickee: well what did you do to break it? [15:13] Well I don't know, seeing as the video was stuffy it's not like I used it all too often. [15:13] PythonMan_: do you have two videocards/monitors/mice/keyboards? [15:13] I installed some updates and maybe that might be it. [15:13] whileimhere: hmm..I've never actually used it ... at least not since I went to college.. did you restart X ? [15:13] PythonMan_, that is offtopic for here [15:13] can someone please tell me how to update my portage tree? [15:13] rutgermasi: internet works without problem, it is connection from PC to AP that is slow [15:13] knaaa: portage tree? gentoo? [15:13] knaaa, go to #gentoo [15:13] I just logged out and then looked at the sessions. I did not reboot. [15:13] bazhang: not if he wants to do it under ubuntu [15:13] Viden: try grep admin /etc/group in a terminal [15:13] Vlet: Any idea on how to check what is causing the non-sound and to recover it? Sound works in all apps but this [15:13] knaaa: apt-ge update [15:13] m1r: I know, but i want to test your connection from pc to internet [15:13] knaaa: apt-get update [15:14] can i use network-manager-vpnc when i am connected throu CDMA? [15:14] rutgermasi: i check now [15:14] miickee: which app is it not working in? [15:14] Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu Studio comes with any video and audio codecs? [15:14] Um vlc. [15:14] And let me check the other movie players [15:14] yotsuba_, no non-free ones [15:14] can someone please tell me how to update my portage tree? [15:14] Slart: Do you think re-booting would put it into the sessions menu? [15:14] Ok sound works in movie player. [15:14] whileimhere: it is a windows solution.. but I'd at least try restarting X.. [15:14] can someone please tell me how to update my portage tree? [15:14] But video is the worst in movie player [15:14] bazhang: I'm talking about it in an gnome environment [15:14] Slart: okay be back in a few min [15:15] whileimhere: ok [15:15] knaaa, please stop [15:15] m1r: im brb right now [15:15] Any one here having problems with Miro and Compiz? [15:15] hi all [15:15] knaaa: read what people are telling you... [15:15] knaaa: ubuntu doesn't have portage, it uses apt-get [15:15] im on gentoo, how can i update it thereß [15:15] rutgermasi: ok, checking line [15:15] ß [15:15] ? [15:15] Crap. I'm having a hard time getting any proprietary codecs onto a ubuntu system that is in no way connected to the internet, and never will be [15:15] knaaa: ask the gentoo people? this is an ubuntu support channel [15:15] Anybody have experience mapping keys on their keyboard? My "standby" key doesn't do anything, even though it seems to be mapped according to "xmodmap -pke". I can also run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and prove the suspend function works on my computer. So how do I map my standby key to work? [15:15] Slart: Umm actully I am going to wait a few minutes. I am ripping one of my cds to my mp3 player. Do you think that a cd rip would go faster in a wm like twm? [15:15] hi, i am running ubuntu 8.04 and i have a problem with sound. first i hear something and after trying to open other files or anything like that =>>>> NO SOUND [15:15] I'm on a live cd. How do I get access to root? [15:16] dropbear: ok that is weird, there is an admin group showing there, just not in the gui and not listed when you do groups. [15:16] !root | Buttercup [15:16] Buttercup: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:16] helpppppp [15:16] Buttercup: Why do you need such access? [15:16] whileimhere: I doubt it.. it doesn't really use the wm, afaik. unless it's opening, closing, resizing windows while it's ripping =) [15:16] Vlet: movie player has very very limited video settings to change, which makes me think I will not use it. [15:16] m1r: im back [15:16] Iraklis: hi, i am running ubuntu 8.04 and i have a problem with sound. first i hear something and after trying to open other files or anything like that =>>>> NO SOUND [15:16] helpppppp [15:16] rutgermasi: To forcibly mount my hard drive. [15:16] !helpme | Iraklis [15:17] Iraklis: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[15:17] rutgermasi: http://www.speedtest.net/result/271261974.png [15:17] Slart: Ah I see. I did not know that. I just want a really really really light desktop when I work on my graphics and stuff as well. [15:17] !helpme | Iraklis [15:17] tnx [15:17] Viden: that is weird. so if the gui fails...add the user2 via command line: sudo adduser user2 admin [15:17] m1r: What is your internet connection speed (give me upload and download please)? [15:17] how to enter suspend mode? [15:17] whileimhere: the wm is just the top layer.. sure.. things might be a bit faster since you have more memory available for your other apps.. but it's still the same system underneath [15:17] So I guess my next question would be: Is there an easy way to install many audio and video codecs to a non-internet connected system? [15:18] dropbear: thanks thats what i have done now. thanks again [15:18] I'm setting up a high-load samba server. Is there a particular file system that I should use or is ext3 the best? [15:18] Slart: Any websites on how to improve this? [15:18] rutgermasi: 2mbit dsl, i dont know exactly , 220kib/s max for download [15:18] yotsuba_, check out uck [15:18] thanks [15:18] whileimhere: you mean cd-ripping? or just linux apps in general? [15:18] Slart: Just in general [15:18] Slart: rebooting to see if that fixes it [15:19] rutgermasi: oh, sry, this line is 1 Mbit [15:19] !uck | yotsuba_ [15:19] yotsuba_: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs.

[15:19] my usb flash drive somehow became corrupted, and wont mount. is there a linux way to format/fix it? (also I cant seem to figure out the device name for it) [15:19] m1r: You ened not a better connection between your access point and your pc, or do you want to use file sharing within your internal network or do you care about few ms? [15:19] Is there a way to add a menu item, via file (NOT gui) where the other help buttons are under system? [15:20] biabia, fdisk [15:20] whileimhere: well.. I would say that adding memory will speed things up much more than tweaking your system can.. kind of like putting stripes on an old Ford.. =) but sure.. there are lots of pages about tweaking your linux system out there [15:20] sivel: don't think you can [15:20] Hi, I can't seem to view/delete sessions from gnome-session-properties [15:20] How can I map a key on my keyboard to run a script/command? [15:20] rutgermasi: file sharing on netwrok, but is imposible with this speed [15:20] I can only save the current session [15:20] running ubuntu 8.04 and i have problem with sound [15:20] Vlet: yeah that is what I have found so far [15:20] Vlet: think I may just remove the icon [15:20] !sound | Iraklis [15:20] Iraklis: 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 [15:20] Hi. when trying to go to smb://10.0.0.20/C$ it says 'failed to mount windows share'. I've been doing this for days and this is the first time i've gotten the error. Any ideas? [15:20] Slart: I used DSL on one system and it was great but wouldnt recognize the wireless card just the etho card [15:20] whileimhere: you can chose a file system that's more suitable for your usage.... you can remove modules you don't need from the kernel.. or even compile a kernel of your own [15:21] How can I restore the default session like on a fresh install [15:21] Rampage, create a new user [15:21] whileimhere: mm.. did the wireless work with ubuntu? [15:21] thanks bazhang [15:21] i dont have a problem with playing audio and all that stuff [15:22] Hi. Is it usual for the contents or /usr to have root permissions only? I have just upgraded to Hardy Heron so I wonder if this is as a result of that or should it be that way? [15:22] Flynsarmy: I also have problems with the C$ share, its actually a special share. Can you access other shares? [15:22] Slart: Perfectly! [15:22] m1r: I dont think its your ubuntu, try searching on google or tweaking your access point by broadcasting it on a different channel [15:22] i am using alsa mixer [15:22] i think that its a bug [15:22] JonathanEllis: sounds normal to me [15:22] immesys: No. I tried F$ aswell but no dice. theyre just the drive letters on my PC [15:22] I'm looking at perhaps putting a thin client setup into place at home. But I'm not completely sure I understand how it will work, I just want to verify a few things with someone before I start to put the legwork into this. My understanding is that if I take my fastest PC and set it up as the "host" or server for this, that when logging in from a slower machine the programs I'm running will actually be running on the faster machine, and the displa [15:22] y of them simply sent to the thin client machine, is this correct? [15:22] because if i log out and relogin sound will work fine [15:23] Flynsarmy: avoid the shares with $ signs in them, all those are special shares [15:23] bazhang: it says failed to mount, cant read superblock [15:23] !bugs | Iraklis [15:23] Iraklis: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:23] Flynsarmy: did you change the password on the windows box? is 10.0.0.20 a dynamic or static ip? [15:23] rutgermasi: i have 2x AP , both works same, so cant be AP's [15:23] JonathanEllis: I have rwxr-xr-x on my stuff in /usr [15:23] biabia, that sounds bad [15:23] Flynsarmy: create your own share of a folder or of your C drive but give it a name [15:23] Slart: There are versions of ubuntu that for some reason work spotty like the 8.04 has some issues with the wireless dropping but the 7.10 is perfect. [15:23] dropbear: Didn't change password, 10.0.0.20 is static IP. I installed hardy updates today which might be the cause of it. [15:23] bazhang: is there a way i can format it? its a 4gb flash drive [15:23] i will try to understand first what i do and it lags and then i will submit it [15:23] thnaks [15:24] hi... i've got problem with frostwire on hardy: http://wklej.org/id/fb45314c8c [15:24] immesys: Don't know how. Default config is $ so that's hwat i've always used [15:24] biabia, you can do so with cfdisk in the terminal [15:24] whileimhere: ah.. well.. seems there is hope then.. perhaps in the next version =) [15:24] yeah that would be it. I won't bother with 8.04 [15:24] m1r: have you tried another operating system as windows? [15:24] Flynsarmy: :) i seem to be having the same problem, just updated a few minutes ago ! [15:25] Slart: And /usr/share/doc? After upgrading to Hardy xsane will only work as root. I am trying to figure out where to change permissions and there is a readme.debian.gz file in /usr/share/doc/libsane but it only has root permissions and I dont know how to extract it at the command line [15:25] Slart: I think I will be able to re-boot soon. I will tell you when I do. [15:25] rutgermasi: yes [15:25] bazhang: thanks i'll try that [15:25] I'm trying to get sounds to play for gnome events, like login, logout, clicks, etc... but they're not working. Sound works fine. I can also play the wav files directly through nautilus. It's only when I try to play them through the sound preferences dialog in gnome, or let gnome try to play them on logout that they don't work. [15:25] m1r: because i havent a solution for ubuntu [15:25] Flynsarmy: the problem with those shares is that windows creats them with a different kind of authentication. [15:25] dropbear: I can still remove desktop in and use the telnet server. its just samba that seems to be broken [15:25] biabia, be sure to choose the right disk :) [15:25] anyone know how to disable forward/back mouse button actions in FF3? [15:25] Has the openssh-blacklist package been removed from the repo's? apt-cache search openssh-blacklist doesn't seem to find it [15:25] rutgermasi: no problem m8, tnx for help, i look further on [15:26] and a simple apt-get install openssh-blacklist doesn't find it either [15:26] Can someone reccomend a file system for a samba server? [15:26] bazhang: ok [15:26] JonathanEllis: same thing.. [15:26] cifs immesys [15:26] whileimhere: do that [15:26] immesys: ext3 :D [15:26] yes ^ [15:27] cyris|: it's in my apt-cache [15:27] Can anyone help with wubi? It's not seeing an iso in the same dir. [15:27] bazhang: Is it a matter of preference or are there differences [15:27] immesys, ext3 has always worked fine for me for samba [15:27] JonathanEllis: gz is gzip.. just sudo gunzip filename.gz should do it [15:27] immesys, as opposed to smbfs? cifs seems to be the norm now [15:27] Flynsarmy, hrm ok. Am I typing the package name incorrectly? [15:27] Slart: Thanks [15:28] cyris|: openssh-blacklist [15:28] Slart: Is there a stripped down secure version of Firefox? I am of course looking for secure but speedy replacements for lighter desktops.

[15:28] cyris|, just try aptitude search openssh [15:28] immesys, you mean the hard drive for the server; my mistake is ext3; I was thinking of file shares [15:28] gronne: whats the problem [15:28] bazhang: its ok!

But I'm not completely sure I understand how it will work, I just want to verify a few things with someone before I start to put the legwork into this. My understanding is that if I take my fastest PC and set it up as the "host" or server for this, that when logging in from a slower machine the programs I'm running will actually be running on the faster machine, and the displa [15:43] y of them simply sent to the thin client machine, is this correct? [15:43] adrian15, see if the folks in #ubuntu-offtopic can help [15:43] bazhang: ok, thank you [15:44] MrBill: sounds right.. X can do this..or so I've heard [15:44] I dont even rember the differance between hibernate and suspend. - One is to ram, other is to swap. andyou need to have a lot of swap for that to work. - of course Ive never had either one work very well.

" [16:29] MrObvious: thats my problem, the factoid doesn't have anything on it [16:29] Sivik: sudo apt-get install pam should do it.

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [16:30] whileimhere: you're on your own there.. it should be some kind of config file somewhere.. or a man page [16:30] Shadu: do apt-get (aptitude) remove nvidia-glx and then install nvidia-glx-new [16:30] Slart: Yep thanks for the assist! I can take the time to look now for the rest. [16:31] whileimhere: you're welcome.. hope your project works out for you [16:31] ksbalaji, i won't say that you can't force it...but that is not the way to do it [16:31] Sivik: channel #bcm43xx-users is empty [16:31] can somebody please help me at installing ubuntu server in a chroot?

[16:32] Zdes yest ruuusean pipel [16:32] aptitude and apt-get are pretty much the same thing, just an alternative of sort [16:32] i use aptitude install of apt-get [16:33] sivik: ah well, its already installed it says and im running the newest version of it..

[16:34] !smbfs [16:34] Factoid smbfs not found [16:34] does anyone know some application to crate User's Manual in Linux ? [16:34] Gullstad Please stop that [16:34] Goetmet: what format? [16:34] arakthor: try checking if it's cron not running them.. or your scripts failing.. [16:34] arakthor, they will either run or not....perhaps a mis-configuration of time/day? [16:34] Jack_Sparrow: What? [16:34] Fishing [16:34] any one have an idea how to find the file open by firefox profile [16:34] sivik: k its reinstalled [16:34] Goetmet: you can use openoffice or abiword or any text editing program to created user manuals [16:34] Sivik: PDF?

[16:39] Jack_Sparrow: i mean the memory used.. i have 512.. and i have 120 MB used.. and i want to know how much of that is used by the kernel itslf [16:39] psychoholic: Try sudo apt-get auto-remove [16:39] r: yes you can [16:39] nice thanks [16:39] r with wine.. you would do a 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' i dont know of any native linxu half life engines. yet.

[16:40] tactikalnuke: sure and thanks for going thru it. [16:40] ok [16:40] whileimhere, i use it under Puppylinux, and Ubuntu for my laptop. [16:41] Dr_willis: is it in synaptic? [16:41] Tyczek: make sure you have the repo available and then you can install it the same way [16:41] Sivik: No clue man. [16:41] whileimhere, Yes. :) of course [16:41] If i install ubuntu on a powerbook (powerpc cpur) will all the applications work? [16:41] !info jwm [16:41] jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-1.1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB [16:41] MrObvious: thanks [16:41] niki most people that ask that question have 4 gigs and want to know where the missing ram is [16:41] lol got it not - in it.... [16:41] Going to give it a shot. [16:41] Sivik, ok, i'll try [16:41] whileimhere, id perfer it to Twm. :) [16:41] thanks MrObvious [16:41] is it nearly as light? [16:41] ok so currently i have hardy live cd so i need a live cd with fluxbox can do something like this?? [16:41] any one had problems with firefox profies in use [16:42] psychoholic: You're welcome. [16:42] with the cd i have [16:42] whileimhere, to get a twm entry in your sessions, you could just find gnome.desktop and copy/edit it to launch twm. OR you could just not use gdm, and edit your .xinitrc to launch exactly what you want when you do 'startx' [16:42] ron: just create a new profile or make sure firefox is still not running via ps aux [16:42] Sivik: Sorry I'm not up on pam. lol [16:42] i dont get any sound from www.youtube.com [16:42] r: no, you cannot install packages onto a live running os, you have to install before installing things like wine [16:43] Jack_Sparrow: i see. but what has the amount of ram that the kernel sees and can use... with the amount.. tht is actuaaly used by the kernel itseld.. not thhe programs... but ok :) i have seen this 4 gig question in a lot of forums to [16:43] i really cant install ubuntu because i have boot loader other than the normal vesrions [16:43] niki: the kernel is probably not using a sig amount of ram and if you have 4 gb, don't worry about it [16:43] Dr_willis will I need to also create one for the JWM? [16:43] done that but cannot find any firefox in use [16:43] whileimhere, if you are worrying about the size diff between those 2 tiny window managers... You really need to get to the junk yard and find a better machine. :) both are about as Minimal as they can get. twm MIGHT be a little smaller.. but jwm is about as tiny as one can get and be easially useable. [16:43] r: why do you need fluxbox? [16:43] whileimhere, i dident have to. [16:43] r: what boot loader? [16:43] ksbalaji, go ahead and type "sudo kill 5542" and "sudo kill 5911" [16:43] only 256mb ram :-( [16:43] Sivik.. i have 512... so i care a lot :) [16:43] okay I have installed it and will log out in a moment and try it. :) [16:43] any ideas what to do to have sound in youtube at the same time as a mp3-song? [16:44] niki: then where did 4 gb come from? [16:44] r: oh... then running halflife might be... interesting [16:44] whileimhere, you do know that the .desktop files for the GDM sessions ONLY get read when GDM starts up (i think) you would need to restart GDM to get it to see any new sessions added. (I think, i may be wrong) === picca_ is now known as picca [16:44] its called "secure server boot" [16:44] Sivik: i didnt ask about this 4 Gig... i got it as an answer.. some misunderstanding on my question [16:44] does ubuntu desktop come with postgres installed by default? [16:44] <[Lowkey]> Could someone possibly help me install shoutcast? [16:44] i have 3 profiles that are in use and cannot find clear them [16:44] whileimhere, i customize/make all sorts of custom gdm sessions. :) its rather easy [16:44] picca: i doubt it [16:44] ksbalaji, after that you should be able to go ahead and type "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [16:45] Dr_willis I will reboot then? [16:45] Slart: perhaps the server edition [16:45] niki: ok, you want to know how much ram the actual kernel is using, right [16:45] picca: perhaps... but it's easy to install [16:45] whoops [16:45] Sivik: hom much memory is used by the kernel bythaway.. becouse with 512Mb i do wory.. becouse i dont have any swap.. couse i have Solid State Disk .. not a hard disk [16:45] okay thanks [16:45] Sivik: yep.. [16:45] whileimhere, or just alt-ctrl-backspace to force X to restart. or just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [16:45] wasn't there a FAQ about having no sound in Flash? [16:46] pf: are you using hardy? [16:46] niki: i don't think the kernel uses RAM persay like another application [16:46] In my Main Menu I lost the applications part and cannot get it back, I tried right clicking on it and choosing 'edit menu' but nothing happens, any Ideas? [16:46] when you've helped him inform me [16:46] brb [16:46] ksbalaji, you could also just do "sudo kill -9 5542 5911" [16:46] Slart: yeah but my sound is fine, someone else had a problem with sound in youtube [16:47] pf: ah.. nevermind then =) [16:47] ksbalaji, if the above two do not work [16:47] Sivik.. then what uses 120MB of memory.. if i ad together al that used by the programs.. i dont even get 60 [16:47] Dr_willis thanks I will see what happens and report back [16:47] MB [16:47] what does top say [16:47] tactikalnuke ! Great It has started moving. Now I get ..... a lot of stuff .....and=Need to get 12.4MB/524MB of archives. [16:47] After unpacking 301MB of additional disk space will be used. [16:47] Do you want to continue [Y/n]? =what to choose please? [16:47] niki: so you have 512 MB and currently only 120MB are being used? [16:48] ksbalaji: Y [16:48] ksbalaji, answer "Y" with a capitol [16:48] <[Lowkey]> Could someone please help me install ShoutCast? [16:48] ksbalaji, that will say "yes" to all [16:48] i have a problem startinf openldap on hardy heron /etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 64: invalid path: Permission denied [16:48] ksbalaji, just make sure that you have the freespace ;) [16:48] patty: change permissions on the file or run the command as root [16:48] !shoutcast [16:48] Factoid shoutcast not found [16:48] !find icecast [16:48] Found: icecast-server, icecast2 [16:49] !find iceweasel [16:49] Found: iceweasel-scrapbook [16:49] sivik slapd.conf ? [16:49] I have not done this =sudo kill -9 5542 5911 =can I stop the terminal and do it? [16:49] Sivik: yes [16:49] are you trying to edit the file or what? [16:49] no just start it [16:49] ksbalaji, nope...no need to do it; that was only if the two kill commands didn't work right [16:49] and the programs use about 60MB in total [16:49] niki: then i wouldn't worry about it as you still have a nice percentage available [16:49] ksbalaji, but you should be on the right road now :) will there be anything else?

On all my other linux partitions there are this after: "SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"". On my faulty UUID partition there's only "TYPE="ext3" and not the sec_type... [17:05] You know, I have absolutely no idea. I'm trying to use a program through Wine which uses midi, that's all I know. [17:05] That was to zpzzlz [17:05] Sivik: i also swapped gdm to wdm... to have smaller memory footprint [17:05] eml, oh which program. midi worked for me automatically in wine [17:06] LimCore: if you want to get more advanced, you should just learn to control iptables from the commandline [17:06] how do i make a partition 'active' ?

Thanks for your help so far! brb, rs :) [17:15] eml, if you have an external synth you can plug a midi cable into that. otherwise maybe using jack or something you can route the midi to a software synth [17:15] Gaudi, BaudXP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_edge ;) [17:15] eml, i haven't really tried it myself [17:15] i'll try it, sal25 [17:15] my problem was that it took forever to start the shutdown down GUI, but give it a shot [17:15] LVM. Do you have to create partitions *first*, then add them to LVM? [17:15] Hey guys - When I run wbinfo -t when setting up pptp I get "Could not check secret" error - anybody know why?

[17:15] Hmm.. someone today was trying to update his 'transmission' and i just noticed there is a update to it in the repos. :0 [17:16] I thought you had to say you wanted to use the entire physical disk for LVM, then create LVs on it [17:16] but if I say I want to use guided, and use the entire disk for LVM, it creates one large partition [17:16] SuperLag: for lvm using the entire disk is better than partitions [17:17] ikonia: right, but how do I then keep /var and /home separate? [17:17] SuperLag: seperate from what ? [17:17] from / [17:17] superego, has to partition the various folders.. /swap.. must be there [17:17] SuperLag: (I only picked up half your question - sorry) [17:18] Vlet we talk about a stable release!!!

[17:21] Shadu, nope [17:21] !virus [17:21] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [17:22] rinaldi_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2457090&postcount=8 [17:22] node357: ah found it, but didnt kill it :/ [17:22] (i already know it's for someone else) :P [17:22] rinaldi_: follow that post and it will fix it [17:22] If I do a fresh install of hardy, and my home is on another disk/partition, can I preserve that? [17:22] Shadu, :( no idea then [17:22] yaman - give a look on ubuntu forums.. about apt-get from.. [17:22] ikonia: :) [17:22] node357, ah now its closed, thx :) [17:22] yay [17:22] eml, oh i guess that would use Windows built-in midi synthesizer [17:22] zpzzlz, I see [17:22] now to fix my other problem :P [17:23] Greetings [17:23] eml, i suppose Wine doesn't have that [17:23] quick question [17:23] So what I need to do is "just" set up a software synthesizer [17:23] Damn [17:23] how do I remove all the packages as part of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage? [17:23] eml, i heard of one called timidity but never got to work [17:23] Kay, thanks [17:23] drivetrax: another qustion plz how can i update to 7 ? [17:23] ikonia: ok, for some reason kdm is being used instead of gdm. how would I change it back?

Not the .netbeans the actual application etc.. [17:25] drivetrax: now i have the 6 edge [17:25] anyone got a good site for rolling ff3 back to ff2 on hardy? [17:25] rinaldi_: can't find it, but ir you go "system --> administation --> login window" you should be able to select it to that [17:25] L2L: you don't need a site, just install the firefox2 package from synatpci [17:25] synaptic [17:26] over 3? [17:26] what is a good manager for the ubuntu platform that will enable me to edit system esentials such as ftp, apache, mysql ? [17:26] L2L: id doesn't do it over 3 [17:26] how do I uninstall all of ubuntu-desktop? [17:26] kk [17:26] dj_hamsta: what do you mean "edit them" [17:26] Does anybody know how to install the Realtek driver for RTL8187 b card, I got ubunutu 8.04 64 bit [17:26] Fenix|work: remove the package ubuntu-desktop [17:26] ikonia: it sinply says gdm isn't running so I can't change the setup [17:26] rinaldi_: ah, thats annoying [17:26] rinaldi_: there is a config for that, one moment [17:26] ikonia, that just is removing the metapackage... not all of the packages as part of the metapackage [17:26] Is 752Kbps decent download speed for DSL? Is 126 Kbps decent upload speed for DSL? [17:26] ikonia: configure/edit i rember i had one installed previously but unable to remember the name, accessible via http on port 1000 i believe [17:26] autoremove does nothing either [17:27] yaman, from dege .... update it with regular way.. all the way... You will have to read about the Ubuntu update process.. to be able to then UPgrade for gutsy.. or to Hardy [17:27] Fenix|work: yes, correct, he didn't say he wanted everything else [17:27] er.. from Edgey [17:27] If I do a fresh install of hardy, and my home is on another disk/partition, can I preserve that? [17:27] hey i shared a drive on a server computer....how do i mount this on my client computer....i can see my smb windows shares but not the nfs share [17:27] ikonia, actually I did ;) I said all of ... [17:27] hehe [17:27] dj_hamsta: you mean things like cpanel [17:27] zpzzlz, I installed tidimity, worked out of the box :) [17:27] Fenix|work: I didn't see that, apologies [17:27] ah there we go [17:27] cpanel [17:27] drivetrax: thanx [17:27] thats it [17:27] thanks [17:27] dj_hamsta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:27] anybody want to help me with a driver problem? [17:27] Fenix|work: remove something that gnome depends on and it will remove gnome [17:27] eml, cool! [17:28] grr wait its not cpanel, it was something else that was free [17:28] zpzzlz, Yep :) thanks! [17:28] I want to remove gnome, x, everything. I just want a console [17:28] dj_hamsta: you don't want to use tools like that [17:28] Jeruvy yes... [17:28] dj_hamsta: things like that are security issues and mess up your system [17:28] !ask | ms1989 [17:28] ms1989: 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. :-) [17:28] where do i find my nfs shares? [17:28] dj_hamsta: I don't recommmend any, but ebox is the one that ubuntu is pushing [17:28] yaman, -- all in Ubuntu forums.. ubuntu community " updating, or ' upgrade from (your current) distro [17:28] tyler: what do you mean, where do you find them ? [17:29] hey guys i'm on 8.04 and i have a wifi problem, its sort of like the one where everyone seems to have the card showing up at 1m speed, i sorted that out now i have 54m speed but still my downloads seem to be extremly slow [17:29] I have a realtek RTL 8187b card and it doesn't work can anybody help me? [17:29] well one computer on my network...i typed shares-admin and then shared a drive via nfs....now i wanna acess that drive on a different computer....i can see the smb shares but not nfs [17:29] 8.04 is the DEVIL! [17:29] fblade1987: maybe the host, maybe the source, maybe your isp, maybe a limitation of the driver [17:29] mrpockets: please don't make nonsense comments like that [17:29] mrpockets Not appreciated.. [17:30] hola, alguien habla eapañol? [17:30] is a hard firewall necessary when running linux and a single computer? [17:30] I need some GUI tool for web design, so... [17:30] rinaldi_: [17:30] !es | Yulo [17:30] Yulo: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [17:30] rinaldi_: [17:30] oops [17:30] !es | Yulo [17:30] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:30] !firewall [17:30] 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). [17:30] for example downloading of rapidshare some files for uni, which are d/l at round 24kbs when if im on window i get around 200kbs [17:30] rinaldi_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95275&highlight=gdm+default [17:30] necesito conectar a irc.cl [17:30] y no pasa nada [17:30] maybe even 1 mg [17:30] ikonia: thanks [17:30] ikonia: u know what im talking about [17:30] I am on a 10m connection [17:30] tyler: I'm sorry I don't [17:31] is it posible to run 2 screen on ubunto [17:31] fblade1987: maybe a limitaton of the driver [17:31] ikonia: I JUST WANNA SHARE FILES... [17:31] tyler: typing in caps won't help you share files [17:31] lol [17:31] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [17:31] ms1989: well what exactly is the problem? [17:31] np [17:31] can anybody help me here [17:31] Where is firmware in ubuntu stored? [17:31] is there a way to resolve it then? i have a rt500 wifi [17:31] Dvyjones: firmware for what [17:31] I can't connect to a wifi network [17:31] fblade1987: as I said it could be one of many things [17:31] ikonia: Wireless [17:32] tyler repeating, using caps and lol shorthand will NOT get you a quicker answer [17:32] LOL [17:32] ah! its webmin [17:32] WOW [17:32] sry [17:32] i was looking for webmin [17:32] haha sorry [17:32] !webmin [17:32] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [17:32] How can i make nm-applet auto start? (tried adding /usr/bin/nm-applet to rc.local but doesnt work) [17:32] Dvyjones: firmware is the software that lives on your hardware. it's not stored anywhere in ubuntu. [17:32] frustered [17:32] dj_hamsta: webmin is not a good idea [17:32] hi [17:32] but i love webmin.. [17:32] ms1989: well does it find any networks at all, is your wireless card detected? [17:32] why bad ? [17:32] Dvyjones: lisr/firmware normally [17:32] Shadu: look at your 'session' control panel [17:32] dj_hamsta: for the reasons I said earlier [17:33] meh [17:33] where can i access my nfs shares [17:33] I don't really know [17:33] is there a more comprehensive firewall gui than firestarter? [17:33] how do i switch between windows in retawq? [17:33] tyler: you can mount them [17:33] VHCS? [17:33] tyler: from a remote server [17:33] vlet: ah thx it should work now [17:33] Jeruvy firestarter is not a firewall.. it is an iptable manager. [17:33] how can i find out what's causing it then? is there any debugging tools that will tell me [17:33] I have a Acer Ferrari 4005 and the card reader is not working but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerFerrari4005WLMi say it does! am I missing something ? [17:33] tyler: you want to find your nfs shares? [17:33] ikonia: yes i understand that...where can i access them on my client pc....i go to network under computer and i dont see them [17:34] ms1989: ok, check if your card is finding any access points by clicking on the network icon on the top right panel. [17:34] This is weird: Since updating ubuntu, samba is no longer turning symlinks into actual links; instead I get a file on os x. I checked smb.conf and there's no follow symlinks = no. Is there something else that might cause this? I checked - the directory linked to is rwxr-xr-x. [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: I understand that, but is there anything better? [17:34] vlet: yes i can find my smb windows shares but not the nfs ones [17:34] tyler: places --> connect to [17:34] tyler: what do you mean by 'find them'? [17:34] how do i switch between windows in retawq? [17:34] my /dev/input/mouse0 resets the group i set it to when i restart my computer [17:34] Jeruvy guarddog perhaps, or just learn how to setup iptable manually [17:35] Larrxi: how are you changing the group [17:35] Hi there - I have Sun Java 1.7.0 installed on my system, but it seems I need to have 1.6.0 in order to run an application (Aptana) properly. Could anyone advise me about how to 'downgrade' my Java? Will 1.6.0 be listed in Synaptic, or how do I install it? [17:35] vlet: like if u go to networks it will show what drives on other machines in ur network are shared [17:35] ms1989: is it a usb wireless card? [17:35] Jeruvy are you trying to do something specific, or is this a Windows HAngover.. [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: I've used lokkit. I can also use iptables directly via python. But its not for me :) [17:35] tyler: nfs does not advertise it's self like samba [17:35] hi [17:35] I have a little problem [17:35] is MPX going into the next Xorg? [17:35] tyler: you have to tell it where to connect [17:35] My windows says it's that but it's build in [17:35] ikonia: i go to connect to server and nfs is not an option in the service type [17:36] tyler: then install nfs-client package [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: I have a desktop to give out and they didn't like firestarter. I don't think my choices are very good so I'm seeking alternates [17:36] Draggin: I'm not 100% sure but multiple versions of java should be able to co-exist. There is also no java7, there's 'the latest openjdk alpha' which is closer to 7 to 6. But the feature set for java7 hasn't even been decided yet. [17:36] when I start Ubuntu 8.04, GDM appears. I insert the username and password, and X server restarts [17:36] I have a Acer Ferrari 4005 and the card reader is not working but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerFerrari4005WLMi say it does! am I missing something ? do i need to aticvate something ? [17:36] Hi, Why when I try to install ubuntu on a 40 gig partition, it says run out of space? how much space does ubuntu need? [17:36] I insert again username and password and the system is starting [17:36] tyler: nfs-common package sorry [17:36] why is happening that? [17:36] any one can help me whit gettin my 2 screen to work [17:36] ms1989: type "lspci" into terminal. do you see your card? [17:36] hi all, question: do I have to change my launchpad keys because the recent security advisory? [17:37] surial - okay, that's actually great, since I like to have the latest versions of software, but if I can have an old and a new one in order to make my app work, that's super. But again - I'm not 100% sure how to go about installing 1.6.0... [17:37] Jeruvy Perhaps you are not explaining it to them well enough . Most new users are less safe with firestarter or any iptable manager than if they just let the system take care of things by itself [17:37] HOW MUCH SPACE DOES UBUNTU NEED TO INSTALL???????? [17:37] ikonia: its alread y installed [17:37] Well, java7 is not 'the latest version'. It's an alpha that might or might not even work. [17:37] HOW MUCH SPACE DOES UBUNTU NEED TO INSTALL???????? [17:37] HOW MUCH SPACE DOES UBUNTU NEED TO INSTALL???????? [17:37] klepto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:37] !repeat | klepto [17:37] klepto: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:37] haha, there's a kick. [17:37] !caps | klepto [17:37] klepto: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:37] klepto: best way to get your self ignored, well done. Tyry asking your question in clear english without caps lock [17:37] can someone help me mount an iso in hardy ive gone through several tutorials and none are working [17:38] !stfu | Pici [17:38] Pici: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [17:38] surial - okay... Perhaps I should get rid of it then? [17:38] ha [17:38] hello channel [17:38] pici won [17:38] Draggin: Actually it's a bit more complex than that. java6 is not open source, because e.g. the font renderer and such is licensed from some company that does not let sun licence it for open source. java7 WILL be open source, and the current 'open source' java version is actually the latest java7 (which is a work in progress, not finished), downgraded to java6. [17:38] nope Only my wired [17:38] ikonia: said jack won on mine ;) [17:38] tyler: I'll be with you in a minute [17:38] klepto: my bare system is using 2.3 gigs [17:38] Pici: so it did, my eyes failed [17:38] i upgraded my ubuntu box, but the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers were not installed and now i have no gui [17:38] can someone tell me how to startup and application on my second desktop not my first one? [17:39] Draggin: Now, the problem is, I don't actually know what this java7-turned-into-6 version is called. I'd guess its called OpenJDK java6, but perhaps they call it java7. Which would be a misnomer, but I can see how that would happen. [17:39] surial... =-O ummm... okay... [17:39] Draggin: so, first things first: where'd you get that java7 from? [17:39] can someone tell me how to startup and application on my second desktop not my first one? [17:39] ikonia: i do "sudo chgrp input /dev/input/mouse0" [17:39] when i try to install nvidia-glx-legacy i receive the error from apt: no candidate.... [17:39] can't backup/restore in evolution. there's no restore option under the file menu in evolution. any suggestions please? running heron after uninstalling and then reinstalling evolution [17:39] Larrxi: udev is restting your rules on boot up [17:39] phoenix5002 Please hold off on repeating.. someone will answer if they know [17:39] surial... To be honest... I think the '7' version of Java that I have may have been installed as part of IcedTea === roxahris_ is now known as roxandSLEEP [17:40] !away > roxandSLEEP [17:40] Yet, my error log in the application reports that Sun is the vendor of the Java 1.7.0 running on my system [17:40] ah. So anyone's guess then. There should be an opensource jdk6 version in the ubuntu apt-get universe. [17:40] hi everybody!!!! [17:40] I converted from Windows to Ubuntu yesterday. All went well. But earlier today several Ubuntu windows greyed out and froze and the whole system became irresponsible so I had to hard power off. Now the icons in the top right and left of windows (the ones used for maximising etc.) have disappeared. What's up with that? [17:40] surial - apparently, according to what I've read, I need the Sun version though [17:41] ms1989: ok before we do anything you need to install ndiswrapper. type "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [17:41] ok [17:41] Draggin: It is the sun version. Just with the few remaining non-open source bits replaced with their open source equivalents or just stripped out entirely. [17:41] is it posible to run 2 screen [17:41] pinnerup those are window decorations /join #Compiz or compiz --replace in a term [17:41] Draggin, -- in windows, I had three versions of sun java. Just go to Sun website, and see if the java is there [17:41] there's someone that knows how to mount "documents and settings" vista's folder on ubuntu???? [17:41] leif_: yes [17:42] surial - okay. Do you know what that is called then? The naming conventions confuse the living crap out of me [17:42] Draggin: you're not the only one :) [17:42] fede____: look in your 'places' menu - there may be a drive in there for your windows system [17:42] Draggin: There's openjdk-6-jre [17:42] there's also sun-java6-bin. [17:42] I got an error [17:43] fede____, if you have root in ubuntu.. you should be able to go to local disk.. of the ubuntu file system, and browse directly to your vista [17:43] surial - because when I go into Add/Remove Programs and search for JDK, what comes up is Sun Java 5.0 Runtime... [17:43] but I use a 64-bit system maybe that's of any importance to you? [17:43] yeah...that's ok...but everithing is mounted...but i cannot see the things into my vista's forlder... [17:43]  can someone help me mount an iso in hardy ive gone through several tutorials and none are working. if this is not the right channel whichh is [17:43] Draggin: and use sudo update-java-alternatives to see/set the version of java, out of the many installed, to use as a default. [17:43] surial - but if I install openjdk-6-jre, will Aptana automatically know where to find the appropriate runtime? Do I need to get rid of my 1.7.0 Java or how do I set it up? [17:43] ms1989: what was the error about? [17:44] surial... Cool - I think I should write that down quickly... [17:44] couldn't find the package I think [17:44] is it posible to run 2 screens on 8.04 [17:44] Draggin: Depends on which method Aptana uses. If it uses webstart, webstart finds javas and follows version restrictions. If Aptana just goes for /usr/bin/java, then you'd have to fiddle with update-java-alternatives. You should set default to java6 anyway, no reason to stick with 5. [17:44] leif_: I told you, yes [17:44] hi. [17:44] in dutch it said "E: Kon pakket ndiswrapper niet vinden" [17:45] even root cannot seen the folder!! [17:45] ms1989: oh sorry its ndiswrapper-common [17:45] Draggin: My experience of using java on linux is a bit lacking. I'd be more specific if I could :) [17:45] ok [17:45] is it just clone screen or [17:45] I'll try again [17:45] fede____, -- are you in terminal? [17:45] yeah [17:45] when i try to start slapd i got in log (/etc/ldap/slapd.conf: line 64: invalid path: Permission denied) in slapd.conf i got (line 64 (directory "/ldap_db") and /ldap_db is own by openldap/openldap and i put the whole dir to 777, anyone can help [17:45] leif_: twinview, xinerama, clone [17:45] how could i connect to ubuntu over the network using ssh [17:45] arc_shmoo Start by making a mount point... sudo mkdir /media/mydrive ... sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/jack/Desktop/KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-EN.iso /media/mydrive [17:45] surial - thanks a lot anyway :) You've been more help than I've been ab;e to find up till now [17:45] fede____, use the desktop way.. places [17:45] It's working [17:45] ms1989: while you're at it do "lsusb" and check if your wireless card is there [17:46] drivetrax, i've already tryed it...but it doesn't work [17:46] Ramasdf: you need to have openssh-server installed [17:46] is there a command-line version upgrade code? [17:46] tried [17:46] Draggin: In this limbo time of java almost but not quite being open source, things are confusing. It's not you. When java7 is the official latest version, ubuntu should just install the one and only java that is relevant. [17:46] aliosha: to upgrade what? [17:46] Hello people, I'm trying to debug firefox 3 on hardy last update I have made all steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-cb617c5a868b29305181e55fafb049e9fcf89e83 and when i try to debug i receive no debug symbols find [17:47] things about realtek, but i'm not sure if it's my wireless card [17:47] im connected to a gb switch and cat 6 cable and im only sharing files over my network at 40MB/s i dont understand [17:47] Vlet: versions from gutsy to hardy [17:47] surial - can I ask you something else - is there a way for me to make sure that if I remove say the icedtea package, that all the related packages are also removed? I just don't like sitting around with loose ends... [17:47] ms1989: paste the line with realtek [17:47] are there any wikis i can look at for ssl [17:47] ok [17:47] aliosha: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:47] Now back to my issue: When distupdating my ubuntu, samba stopped following symlinks. Instead I get link files which os x is trying to interpret as links to the local filesystem, obviously doesn't work. I checked permissions: that doesn't seem to be the problem. There's no 'follow symlinks = no' in smb.conf, and ubuntu's smb configurator has a checkbox for allow symlinks. [17:47] "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. " and"Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. " [17:47] i'm ok... [17:47] thanks very much!!! [17:47] Vlet: does that retain data? [17:47] bye bye guys!!! [17:48] aliosha: yes, it does not wipe your system [17:48] Vlet: thanks! [17:48] Draggin: You'd have to ask an apt-get veteran. You can of course ask apt about icedtea's dependencies and -s up a view of what might happen if you uninstalled some of those. If nothing else is removed, it was a dead end. [17:48] surial, because update-java-alternatives reports that I have java-1.5.0-sun and java-7-icedtea installed [17:48] ms1989: yep thats the one [17:48] so what should I do now? [17:48] Guys I need help getting libpng 1.2.8 installed onto Hardy, I don't know where to get it for it so that Savage works.. [17:48] should it work? [17:49] Draggin: Well, that's good news, seems like the system that lets multiple javas co-exist, and e.g. webstart find whatever java seems the best fit, work. Installing openjdk6 or sun jdk6 should mean you can run aptana, no problem. [17:49] ms1989: no, go to http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true and get the 64bit driver [17:49] ms1989: who are you talking to? [17:49] on one machine the openssl/ssh updates haven't shown up - Im pretty sure they aren't installed though becuase the key hasnt changed and ssh-vulnkey isnt availabke [17:49] to Rinaldi_ [17:49] ms1989: it's a good idea to put "personsname:" in front of posts :) [17:49] je vous aime toute y a t il quelqu un pour me repondre ?

[17:49] rinaldi : wich version [17:50] ms1989: windows [17:50] are there any wikis i can look at for ssl? [17:50] Ramasdf, wikipedia? [17:50] Is there a command to see packages which are removed, but not completly removed, i'm trying to save space, and does an upgrade leave any files around which I could remove? [17:50] thrope: the official servers have been slow lately [17:50] wow. that latest ubuntu bug really really sucks [17:51] anyone know why tracker doesn't index my evolution email? it's checked in the box... [17:51] ms1989: make sure its the 8187B card, not 8187L [17:51] rinaldi_: o wait i'll check === bpgoldsb|lunch is now known as bpgoldsb [17:51] vlet: ah ok - I dont mean slow to download - I mean the updates arent listed yet (my system shows as up to date) === ddgoose is now known as ddgoose-AFK [17:52] thrope: oh... did you get the ssh updates yesterday? === ajonat__ is now known as ajonat [17:53] Vlet: no thats the point [17:53] thrope: weird - hmm, try a mirror [17:53] Hello people, I'm trying to debug firefox 3 on hardy last update I have made all steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-cb617c5a868b29305181e55fafb049e9fcf89e83 and when i try to debug i "receive no debug symbols found" [17:53] Jack_Sparrow: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [17:53] rinaldi_: there is no bit version? [17:53] i have a headless ubuntu server and having the following problems: every now and then (now for ex) i cannot connect to the server. all services are timing out, but i can ping the machine [17:53] ms1989: its at the bottom of the page. that zip file contains the 64bit version as well so get it [17:53] any clue what is preventing serv from staring properly? [17:53] sorry, I was d/cd did anyone reply [17:54] rinaldi_: got what should i do with it? [17:54] When I click the logout (top right) icon on hardy heron, my system locks up for a solid minute before it appears. I can't click anything, switch windows, etc. Oddly, nothing is pegged (cpu,ram,net,load,hdd,etc). Any ideas?

I can't find a Hardy howto. [17:57] i could swear there used to be a shared folder (smb) gui in gutsy. i can't find it in hardy. is there a gui to manage shares (besides the one in nautilus)?

[18:06] cheers ikonia [18:07] jamiejackson: In it's documentation / common sense. [18:07] what do you mean when you say desktop change tool leif_ [18:07] jamiejackson: swat can give someone full access to your system, if you enable it make sure you enable as much security as possible [18:07] opps [18:07] ok so what woumld the command be to see which wifi card I got ? [18:07] !ldap [18:07] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [18:07] as85: lspci [18:07] as85: Or just yank it out and read the label. [18:07] rinaldi_: "couldn't create /etc/ndiswrapper/net8187b: Toegang geweigerd at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 194.", sorry that it's dutch [18:07] i want to try kde so how do i change gnome for kde [18:07] okay, i'll play with it, ikonia. tacit, maybe it will be common sense once installed ;-) [18:08] rinaldi_: I think I should be root or something [18:08] ms1989: yeh do sudo before the ndiswrapper -i [18:08] anyone know what keys I need to press to get out of X and to a console-only setting [18:08] Greets... is there a tool to find fast mirrors? [18:08] leif_: you would install kubuntu-desktop and log off and logon, but choose kde in session [18:08] rinaldi_: I'll try [18:08] how to do that udev do not reset my group settings? [18:08] (from the CLI) [18:08] Thanks, the problem was that I wasn't running compiz fusion, it's working now. :) [18:08] Okay... So where do I set path variables in Ubuntu? I have both java 1.5 and 6 installed now, but neither seems to be available to applications... [18:08] <_paradox_> hi all [18:09] Draggin: sudo update-alternatives --config java [18:09] Where is a good manual for mencoder? [18:09] Thanks very much. [18:09] leif_: it downloads a few packages that natively comes with kde so you are looking at 100mb + [18:09] Pici - thanks :) [18:09] TuxPWNZ, You should try running things in terminal if they don't run, so you can see errors. [18:09] <_paradox_> i was just wondering in comparison to windows with defraging and compressing old files etc how do i keep my ubuntu box clean? [18:09] But one more thing, I can't seem to be able to add any applets to it. Why is that? [18:10] rinaldi_: and what next? [18:10] <_paradox_> and is it ok to clear out temp files in the java 6 control panel? [18:10] there thanx [18:10] ms1989: does ndiswrapper -l say hardware present? [18:10] TuxPWNZ, You MIGHT need to restart awn (avant-window-navigator), but you're in the "applets" setup, right? [18:10] how to do that udev do not reset my files group settings that i have manually assigned? [18:10] Hi I'm trying to instal hardy on a new pc and install always fail at thje end : cant install grub on hd0 [18:10] please help [18:10] is there a mirror configuration utility?

[18:11] TuxPWNZ, You click the one you want then click activate, you can drag them on the bottom of the setup page to select where they go [18:11] I can't even find the AWN Manager in the preferences menu. [18:11] rinaldi_: "net8187b : driver installed [18:11] device (0BDA:8189) present" is what he said [18:12] esox, Do you have Vista installed on the same machine by any chance? [18:12] hi everybody! i've got a problem mounting my ipod so i can write mp3s on it with amarok. when i plug it in, nautilus says, it can't be mounted correctly, since some folder name contains illegal characters (like "/" or something, but the device name is "IPOD"). when i try "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/ipod" it works, but i have to start amarok with root-rights to write on the player. can anyone help? thanks. [18:12] bobbob1016: no, XP pro [18:12] he said the V word [18:12] and now the X word [18:12] eww [18:12] TuxPWNZ, Right click the dock (awn) and you should get the preferences there [18:12] ms1989: ok good, now do "sudo depmod -a" and then "sudo depmod ndiswrapper" this will activate the driver modules [18:13] I tried that, it doesn't start === Juhaz__ is now known as Juhaz === AdC|JuAn is now known as JuAnXT [18:13] ikonia, do i need to reboot to get to swat? i hit the local url, but firefox "can't connect..." [18:13] ms1989: sorry the second one I mean "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" [18:13] esox, Not sure then, Vista locks the mbr (master boot record) sometimes, and that could have been it. I have no idea now though, sorry. [18:13] <_paradox_> plz help [18:13] Btw. who came up with this stupid idea to use sudo for everything? [18:14] in a mail client using .mailrc, what should i chmod .mailrc? [18:14] tacit: saner and wiser people than you [18:14] wols: I doubt it. [18:14] linkmaster03: the user it belongs to [18:14] and his standard perms [18:14] TuxPWNZ, Try closing awn, then avant-window-navigator in the terminal again, and try right clicking the dock, the error might be in the terminal [18:14] tacit: people who want to keep their computer stable [18:14] wols: but should it be +x? [18:15] rinaldi_: ok did it, but didn't get any output on my terminal [18:15] test [18:15] linkmaster03: it's a config file. who'd want to run it? [18:15] TuxPWNZ, Try "awn-manager" [18:15] dont know [18:15] thanks wols [18:15] rinaldi_: This is a quite generic statement, with a generic term. [18:15] ms1989: thats a good sign, now do "iwconfig" [18:15] Okay, it started now. === amblin_ is now known as amblin [18:16] rinaldi_ : ok he's doing something [18:16] But in the "Applets" section, the only applet I can see here is the Taskmanager applet. [18:16] nobody has an idea to solve this grub issue on install ? [18:16] ms1989: is wlan0 got a load of things under it? [18:17] TuxPWNZ, Is that on the top part, or the bottom? [18:17] what method are you using to install esox [18:17] rinaldi_ : is it shows nothing on my terminal [18:17] AvK, lspci -vvnn or gnome-device-manager [18:17] Both [18:17] jaffarkelshac: I put kbuntu 64 in the drive and I install manually the partitions (my HD is already parted) [18:17] Both [18:17] TuxPWNZ, You might need to install awn applets, it should be in synaptic, assuming you installed via synaptic [18:17] rinaldi_: even "maikel@maikel-laptop" is away [18:18] lyzium thanks [18:18] have you tried using wubi [18:18] have you tried using wubi esox [18:18] ms1989: iwconfig gives you nothing at all?

[18:18] Hi i installed a 32bit firefox on a 64bit system in /opt . The manually installed firefox does not connect to internet the default 64bit firefox does. Can anybody tell me wahts the problem? [18:19] rinaldi_: it shows me a blank line with a flashing typ-thing on it [18:19] jaffarkelshac: but this installs hardy in a windows partition no ? [18:19] ms1989: does ifconfig give anything? [18:19] btw anyone here used ArchLinux ? [18:20] it creates virtual disk in windows partitions and install there, esox [18:20] hi all, we recently purchased a Handycam (dcr-sr55). I kind of hoped that it'd show up as a usb-disk (with mpegs) when I put it in the hardy box... no luck so far. Any ideas how to copy footage of the handycam? [18:20] rinaldi_: nothing at all [18:20] try Kino [18:20] If system restart is required for an update and the icon is there saying this, Can you get rid of the icon without restarting? [18:20] besides downloading the gutsy version and burning to disk, is there anyway to install gutsy from hardy? [18:20] rinaldi_: So how is "sudo" related to stability in your point? [18:20] jaffarkelshac: I'm not sure its a good solution to make HD recording for mudic... [18:20] music [18:20] ms1989: ok.... try sudo with it just for good measure [18:21] basvg: try to install Kino... [18:21] hi everybody! i've got a problem mounting my ipod so i can write mp3s on it with amarok. when i plug it in, nautilus says, it can't be mounted correctly, since some folder name contains illegal characters (like "/" or something, but the device name is "IPOD"). when i try "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/ipod" it works, but i have to start amarok with root-rights to write on the player. can anyone help? thanks. [18:21] markf: kino is an editor right? but also suitable of copying footage of the camera? [18:21] L2L: do n upgrade [18:21] L2L: do an upgrade [18:21] esox: probably not [18:21] basvg: yes, i did it two days ago [18:21] rinaldi_: both nothing [18:21] tacit: well I only allow things higher privileges if I want it to, otherwise any app I install could be messing with things I don't want it to [18:22] ikonia i am on hardy i want to go back to gutsy [18:22] jaffarkelshac: well it doesnt solve my install issue [18:22] rmnboss: set options like your umask=, uid= and gid= correctly when mounting from commandline [18:22] rinaldi_: This is what the root account is for. [18:22] L2L: reinstall [18:22] L2L: then you need to do a re-install [18:22] L2L: thats the only way [18:22] !sudo | tacit [18:22] tacit: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [18:22] wols: uid=my id? and what is umask? [18:22] k so burn to disk is only way to reinstall? [18:22] basvg: tell me if you can't get your footage on ur handdisk with Kino [18:22] L2L: its the most staight forward [18:22] #purwokerto [18:22] kk [18:22] umask is the default chmod set. see the man mountpage for it [18:22] thanks [18:23] rinaldi_: nothing with iwconfig and ifconfig [18:23] wols: thanks. [18:23] Well sudo certainly moves the security boundary to the desktop. Sad. [18:23] rinaldi_ : with sudo before it ofcourse [18:23] hi all , how do u open a .bin archived? [18:23] tacit: Do you have a support question? Or anything constructive to contribute here? [18:23] Yet another program not used for it's intended purpose. [18:23] markf: allright, thanks I'll give it a go [18:23] no7up4u2: you find out what file it actually is. ".bin" is utterly meaningless [18:23] Hello Ubuntu community :D, I am having a little noobish problem with updating and was wondering if someone would be able to answer a couple questions? [18:24] rinaldi_: os what now? [18:24] no7up4u2: file file.bin [18:24] ms1989: ok, right click on the network icon and make sure wireless is checked, then click once on it and see if it searches any points [18:24] ms1989: /sbin/ifconfig WILL ALWAYS output something or you have an utterly broken system [18:24] bobboy: !ask [18:24] bobboy: Just ask ;) [18:24] basvg: good luck. you can also export your footage as mp4 in Kino which is cool... [18:24] ok lol [18:24] here goes [18:25] wols : I don' t now [18:25] Hello everyone :) Just a quick question, which version of gnome does Ubuntu 8.04 use? [18:25] markf: sounds like what I want... mp4, and the flashy stuff that youtube also uses. [18:25] i dont think the file name is relevant, i just want to know what app can open it [18:25] ms1989: ^pastebin your full written command and ALL output that eappears then [18:25] nekkidtruth: Distrowatch has a nice listing of versions. [18:25] hi, i followed the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent but it doesnt work, i slected 'removeable device' in bios boot sequence...can anyone help ? [18:26] nekkidtruth: 2.22 [18:26] no7up4u2: I told you: no one can know what a "bin" file actually is since that extension is meaningless. both CD isos and BIOS firmware upgrades have it for example [18:26] Hello people, I'm trying to debug firefox 3 on hardy last update I have made all steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-cb617c5a868b29305181e55fafb049e9fcf89e83 and when i try to debug i "receive no debug symbols found". Can you help me ? How to make this debug ? [18:26] jayson: the binary has been stripped [18:26] wols : a second first i'll try something runaldi has said to me [18:26] Hi, can someone please point me in the right direction solving an mdadm problem? I have two USB HDDs used in an mdadm config. Everything works fine if these are the only two discs plugged in at boot. If I have a third USB HDD plugged in during boot mdadm fails. I assume my answer lies somewhere in udev, but I'm not sure how to configure mdadm to use this. Can anyone help? [18:26] no7up4u2: and I told you a way to find out what kind of file it is [18:26] basvg: yes, you can also export it also a flv file. i've made a youtube file but youtube compressed it. i think, i have to use the right relolution so youtube won't touch it. [18:26] ikonia: I'm using gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3*/firefox 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gdb-firefox.txt [18:26] Thanks Pici :) [18:26] <_paradox_> ok can i get a little help now? [18:26] ah k mistread that wols [18:27] my bad [18:27] :) [18:27] I wasn't able to find it on the website. Or I'm blind ;) [18:27] hi ppl....guys i messed my gnome-power manager ...there is no restart button or shutdown button ....can anyone help me please [18:27] rinaldi_: where do I check this box [18:27] ms1989: wols knows more about ifconfig than me. it won't work. I decided to ignore for now but it is rather strange ifconfig gives nothing [18:27] jayson: that doesn't change the fact the binary has been stripped [18:27] Rachel84: what is the error [18:27] ms1989: try ifconfig -a [18:27] Rachel84: what level raid, what version of ubuntu [18:27] ikonia: What can I do to debug ? [18:27] i want to get used to the command line so i looked up some instructions on upgrading packages with apt.. so i did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrate.. my problem is i am getting different outputs using apt and using the GUI Update Manager.. apt says i need to upgrade 6 packages and is holding back on ssl-cert, gets 13.5MB and after the operation 4096B disk space will be freed. UpdateManager says i need to ins [18:27] markf: I've fired up kino, hooked up my handycam.... err... now what ;-) I don't see an 'import' button or anything [18:27] jayson: install deubgging symbols package on the binary (assuming there is one) [18:27] ihcus, run gcnof-editor and search for restart would be my guess [18:28] The disc doesn't mount; when I try to manually mount it with mount -a, it tells me wrong fs type. If I then unplug the third USB disc and reboot, everything comes up just fine. [18:28] hi people, which settings do you recommend to use for ffmpeg to make the "perfect looking" youtube file (MP4 H.264 codec) [18:28] wols : nothing [18:28] bobboy apt-get dist-upgrade [18:28] m1r: do i have to run it in terminal? [18:28] Rachel84: well, none of that is what I asked [18:28] ms1989: I asked you for a pastebin.

[18:29] bobboy , try this command> apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [18:29] jayson: that looks good [18:29] Why why why not?

[18:31] I'm not after performance. What I need is a filesystem that provides a single mount point and which I can extend by adding other USB discs when needed. [18:31] markf: i have it on usb [18:31] I have something weird with sound on my laptop (running 8.04). Example: Flash locks sound (eitehr flash can play sounds or XMMS). Currently, Miro somehow killed all the sound (nothing makes no sounds at all)- two questions: 1) any idea what causes this (suspicion- different sound managers used by different programs, and locking out dsp or something like that) , 2) how can I analyze why sound is gone now (so that I at least don't have to reboot every time)? [18:31] I dont know what happens with ... but GDM can start any session, when i try with startx i have permision problem with dev/null, to make it works i give permisions to null random and u random , but not all works fine , and this permissions change again at boot, what can i do [18:31] hi^^ [18:31] ikonia: that make a new binary /usr/lib/debug/firefox*/firefox [18:31] Hi!

[18:32] palbuddy: I'm sure nautilus can look at it but I dunno how since I don't use it [18:32] Okay, the other problem is I have 1TB of stuff already on the RAID0 and nowhere else to put it while I move things around. :-/ [18:32] m1r:i found only shutdown and dont know what to do with it [18:32] m1r: k they both give the same package results and vary in size only by about 800kb.. one other problem is why is it trying to install an update for transmission when i uninstalled it and am using qBitTorrent? [18:32] basvg: i used a firewire cable to import the footage though... [18:32] What did the new new OpenSSH changes on Hardy, err, change?

[19:13] oh yeah [19:13] tds5016, not too sure what expose is... is that the one where it shoes all the current open windows? [19:13] cape town [19:13] tds5016: super + E even sorry!

[19:14] tds5016: its under scale you need to set the binding. [19:14] but the solution is a bad one yes (ndiswrapper) [19:14] tds5016, it's called scale and is installed by default.

[19:36] hello I am having a lot of trouble installing the PDFlib, I tried some sites but it simply doesn't work, anyone know how to apt-get it somehow? [19:36] Thanks Pici [19:36] timboy: ttf's have to be installed in a certain way as opposed to installing the msttcorefonts package. I'd be dubious about putting them on my system and would expect some anomalies from doing so :/ [19:36] mcphail: really? [19:36] timboy - It seems to be really random... Hardy on one machine had fonts really screwed up, another machine no issues. Same istall method. [19:36] anyone running openfire out there? Which version to install on Ubuntu, Debian or Red Hat? [19:36] ErickGhint: in GNOME, yes [19:37] I'm really starting not to miss windows at all. [19:37] ErickGhint: godd ;) [19:37] hi people someone help with Nvidia drivers 8600 Gt ubuntu 8.04??

I've installed before, but this new install for 8.04 seems different and I'm not sure how to partition correctly. [19:39] Pici: how do I do that on terminal? [19:39] sa125: spell ubuntu correctly in /etc/apt/sources.list ! [19:39] Help? I can see the printers on my linux box with samba using windows, but no folders. After coutless googles and restarts, can someone help? [19:39] Comp: it's already starting to feel that way. I'm actually about to format my windows partition. [19:39] Pici, what would that do [19:39] it seemed to work [19:40] or to not give an error [19:40] How i installed drivers nvidia, 8600GT [19:40] ?? [19:40] imterro: Thats another way of starting/stopping/restarting services [19:40] alas...not giving and error and working are 2 differant things :) [19:40] Pici, so my ssh is up and running? [19:40] guys, I cant get FGLRX working at all on Hardy, with Kernel 2.6.24-17. fglrxinfo always returns mesa. Restricted Manager says it is enabled but not in use. Xorg.conf is configured to use fglrx. Anyone able to help? [19:40] ErickGhint: I've removed Windows XP on all of my 4 machines. Just one left and that machine has enough hard drive space that keeping it there is not harming anything. [19:40] imterro: does ps aux | grep ssh show it? [19:40] Hi, WRT USN-612-2; I don't see much mention of OpenVPN, but it is mentioned. Should I regenerate all of my OpenVPN keys?

[19:41] mcphail: I just typed that in here to show the error -- forgive my misspelling [19:42] 8.04 [19:42] timboy: try _removing_them_ or assigning different system defaults ;) [19:42] Comp: heh, i bought a prefab laptop the day Vista came out. Not that I wanted vista, it's just they wouldn't sell me a computer with XP on it. So I finally got fed up with it after about a year of crap. [19:42] I would really appreciate it if someone could privately message me to assist me with setting up proper partitions. Thanks in advance. [19:42] sa125: ahh. Sorry!

I have an Apache2 server (actually, full LAMP) but need 'original' lib-gd - not the Ubuntu version because some commands are missing (imagerotate). I have successfully compiled lib-gd from scratch and wondered if it is possible to get Apache2 to see it as a module. Cannot use a2enmod because the filetypes are not in the .load and .conf format (loads of .c files etc). Is it easy to... [20:06] ...encourage Apache to read these modules or does it need a full recompile of Apache? :-( [20:06] hello [20:06] PCDJ, if your likely to be about in an hour or so i can give you a couple of hours tuition -- im not sure why you need a script? what do you want this script to do?

[20:49] wols: actually it isn't [20:49] kingair_six: no problem with the driver per se. I can't d/l it since I need it to download it . . . :) it worked in gutsy fine but in the upgrade to heron it didn't download it _before_ it removed the old driver hence I couldn't get it. major oversight on the ubuntu team IMHO [20:49] LogiTech: record your audio channel [20:49] LogiTech, that's hard [20:49] sudobash: Dd'nt work~ [20:49] jimdb: for ubuntu it is: everytzhing is a file. repeat until you understand it [20:50] im looking for easy and fast way =) thank you [20:50] Safety0ff, probably your volume is too high [20:50] parvix try this: sudo aptitude update before you try the other commands i gave you [20:50] gfxboot? anyone?

[20:54] parvix: man interfaces [20:54] sudobash: AptOnCD is a wonderful tool for sneakernet. But yeah, apt-cdrom will add it for you (and you need to, since it does some other stuff too, besides sources.list) [20:54] Is there download "accelerator" programs for ubuntu???? [20:54] LogiTech: you can try ecasound or Audacity...but audacity needs also oss module...take care [20:54] LogiTech: axel-gtk [20:54] i'll try to connect it.. how to enter ip addresses using command line? [20:55] lol [20:55] #ubuntu os great [20:55] LogiTech the best type of "accelerator" is a high-speed proxy [20:55] stoneDJay: sysinfo? /exec uptime -a [20:55] fogobogo: Tring to connect to *what*?

[20:55] LogiTech: axel-gtk is used for downloading files fast [20:55] aguitel: SSH allows you to log in remotely [20:55] aguitel: ssh server [20:56] other than that all an accelerator does it put the info right there by cacheing or just having an insanely fast connection [20:56] beli: doesnt work for me... [20:56] stoneDJay: /exec uptime [20:56] sudobash: fasterfox is good [20:56] so really accelerators work for all OS's that support proxy servers [20:56] Thank you all ...got axel-gtk [20:56] Flannel: i don't use this ,how uninstall ?

[20:58] tmapj: thta will install ubuntu studio on your box, and keep Ubuntu as well [20:58] flannel: that doesn't install everything ubuntu studio has to offer [20:58] Unknown512: a command is always an app [20:58] tmapj: Yes it does [20:58] oh damn irc script kiddies.. [20:59] no it doesnt [20:59] tmapj: That's identical to installing Ubuntu studio from the CD [20:59] i downloaded java but i cannot install it [20:59] I'm curious, is it necessary for me to go to nvidia.com and install the Linux driver for my card? [20:59] there is a utility that will allow you to make a flash drive bootable.... and then you simply have to get your bios to allow you to boot from it whether thats from a boot menu or from boot device order is up to you....

[21:00] LogiTech, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, that's the big manager, you can usualy install most apps from add/remove in the applicatiion menu [21:01] tmapj: you *do* *not* need a thumb drive. You have an Ubuntu install, install the packages from the internet. [21:01] Anyone know of an application that will do voice to voice without the next of a third party? I'm looking for just computer to computer. [21:01] j #gnome [21:01] stnkyminky: if you give an error message/desc maybe [21:01] tmapj-> which one is it? usb key or from hd?

[21:01] wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120/ [21:02] tuna: fdisk -l [21:02] I just wasn't sure if it was better to use the one directly from nvidia. [21:02] sudobash: the drivers are called "restricted" cause they are binary only... [21:02] i'm trying to use twinview for dual screens on a GeForce 8800GTX but X detects the monitors the wrong way round? What can I do about this? [21:02] flannel i dont want to have to iinstall all the programs that come with ubuntu separately, also, there may be some that i dont even know about [21:02] tmapj: There are -audio and -video metapackages as well. the -audio one contains ardour, sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio [21:02] i see [21:02] rconan, i reccomend envy [21:02] amenado: how do i make the thubdrive bootable [21:02] wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120/ [21:02] rconan: change DFP and CRT in the xorg.conf [21:02] its wonderful [21:02] tmapj: you don't have to [21:02] rconan: move the monitors? [21:02] dpowerd: how is envy going to solve the monitors being displayed the wrong way around [21:02] !envy | dpowerd [21:02] dpowerd: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [21:03] you dont have to fsck with xorg.conf [21:03] tmapj: and if you have a ISO file downloaded of some CD you can always mount said ISO file and use it like a CD [21:03] tmapj-> do you have another linux running? [21:03] dpowerd: your not listening to what he's said [21:03] tmapj: ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-video ubuntu-studio-graphics, if you install all three of those along with -desktop, you'll have everyhting it has to offer. [21:03] ikonia: EEEK! [21:03] beli - i'm using it with an app and it says no suitable driver but the jar file is there. I set the classpath? but the terminal says : isn't a valid identifier [21:03] its been a while but isnt there a way to reidentify twin view monitors? [21:03] dpowerd: his monitors are being detected the wrong way around, how is changing the drivers going to change that [21:03] wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12120/ [21:03] in the xorg.conf [21:03] ikonia, they are both CRT as far as X is concerned [21:03] Unknown512: I don't care. I told you what to do [21:03] well envy also provided me with a very nice gui for configuring x [21:03] tmapj: you could probably just install ubuntustudio-desktop and get everything [21:03] sudobash: yes, exactly what I was saying [21:03] not sure what he currently has in place [21:03] and I didn't tell you to paste me the incomplete stuff you got [21:03] dpowerd: no it didn't [21:03] Any way to get the LiveCD to NOT start X? [21:03] ikonia, but the one which displays console text isn't the one which X detects first [21:03] stnkyminky: hmm ok...cant help you with that...too special [21:03] dpowerd: thats nothing to do with envy [21:03] yes im running normal ubuntu studio but none of the programs that come with it are here [21:03] orly? [21:04] Элэктротрансформатор. [21:04] wols: no you didn't you told me to see if their on, and i did. I don't know any further [21:04] i had to do it once and realign the screens [21:04] tmapj: apt-get install [21:04] tmapj: and install it with all the recommends too [21:04] tmapj: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-video [21:04] sudobash: exactly, [21:04] but i forgot how i did it... it was a good 1 1/2 - 2 years ago [21:04] Unknown512: they are loaded as the paste proves. are you blind? [21:04] beli - what about ensuring classpath is set properly? anything is helpful [21:04] "nvidia x server settings" [21:04] stnkyminky: how did you set it? [21:04] wherever it came from, i like it ;] [21:04] tmapj: that'll get you everything ubuntu studio has to offer [21:05] Unknown512: but of course yon only pasted a very small part [21:05] wols i dont know what the names are of all themissing programs [21:05] tmapj: otherwise if you feel like you *must* do a fresh install this link has ways you can do it without a cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [21:05] pastebin your xorg and i will look at it and see if i can remember [21:05] tmapj: somebody just told you [21:05] i wont try to realign for you though cause thats to risky [21:05] tmapj: magic of apt dependencies will get you the rest [21:05] wols: No need to be a jerk, your in a HELP channel, which will mostly contain linux noobies [21:05] dpowerd, i suspect this is actually a bug... X should surely treat the one which the kernel output and consoles appear on as CRT-0 not the other way round [21:05] Unknown512: have a good day, goodbye [21:05] wols: and you only told me to check for that [21:05] Unknown512: please don't lie as you did before [21:06] rconan: the options are "TwinViewOrientation" and "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" [21:06] Since when did i lie? [21:06] Is there a tool to control fan speed, like a speedfan for windows??? [21:06] Andycas: the bios/apm will deal with that for you [21:06] its TwinViewOrientation i think [21:06] 21:53 < Unknown512> wols: it only told me "Motherboard" < Unknown512> didnt help much [21:06] sudobash: need both really if your using acceleration [21:06] not positive though [21:06] tmapj: And then additional plugins can be found at ubuntustudio-audio-plugins, which most people use, so you may want to install that as well. [21:06] in the bashrc file | classpath = $classpath:/ export classpath on the next line [21:06] Im serious thats all it told me [21:06] Unknown512: but now please ask someone else if you don't like my answers. good day [21:07] well it will let you reidentify right? [21:07] well i mean for my motherboard [21:07] or does it change itself back? [21:07] How can i make nm-applet work as sarted by normal user? i can only start it as root now... or what do i have to set for NetworkManager ? [21:07] stnkyminky: classpath=.... [21:07] where can i find those flannel [21:07] stnkyminky: no blanks [21:07] ikonia: my fan is on too low, i would prefer if it would be 40% all the time, instead it keeps switching the fan on and off, which annoys me [21:07] ikonia, TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder might be the one I want... what does that do? [21:07] sudobash: you need the two optionbs I've just said [21:07] rconan: it sets the order of the screens [21:07] nikin: suid bits. but being only able to run it as root is a good thing [21:07] oh ok cool [21:07] <_paradox_> i need some help getting java to work in galeon browser [21:07] stnkyminky: do source ~/.bashrc after editing the file....to make changes loaded....then do echo $classpath and check if its ok [21:07] nikin: no one else really has business to run it [21:07] ikonia, will it set which one the applications menu and such appear on? [21:07] tmapj: They're in the repository. type this at a terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt [21:08] rconan: should do, but that will depend on your desktop orientation also [21:08] yeah i dont think i was doing acceleration at that time so i only used the orientation i think [21:08] wols: nm-applet ??? [21:08] rconan: eg: span/clone/twin [21:08] ikonia, what is the syntax for that option? [21:08] rconan: for which one ? [21:08] i run NetworkManager as root.. but i want the user to be able to use nm-applet [21:08] beli: loc echod fine but should the : be in the path? [21:08] Andycas: use "cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/state" to check if fans are running [21:08] ikonia: again, thank you! [21:09] nikin: run nm-applet in a terminal and check for any output [21:09] Larrxi: ?? for what ? [21:09] flannel that didnt work [21:09] stnkyminky: loc echod? [21:09] Hello! Does anyone know how to force the Sun Java runtime to use ALSA for sound output? I think it uses OSS, which blocks all other sound applications. [21:09] ikonia, TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder [21:09] ikonia: helping me with the dbus rules configuring [21:09] tmapj: What error did it give you? [21:09] Larrxi: your welcome [21:09] i forgot [21:09] stnkyminky: paste the result of "echo $classpath" pls [21:09] beli - path defined in the filed echoed to the screen [21:09] rconan: TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder "monitor-ref1, monitor-ref2" [21:09] wols: the output says that ** (nm-applet:5791): WARNING **: nma_dbus_init(): could not acquire its service. dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.20" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file' [21:09] tmapj: do it again, give me the error [21:10] * Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation...

Its just that they keep switching on and off because of temperatures.. Im on a laptop... [21:10] there were a bunch of errors when i installed ubuntu studio as well [21:10] stnkyminky: so you classpath var is clean....and you add :/path/to/foo [21:10] tmapj: dont your sound card support midi? [21:10] nikin: so you probably need a dbus config change. ":1.20" is a weird X session btw. 2nd session? [21:11] wols: i edited the file.. copied the section for root, and changed the name ther for the user [21:11] somebody has created a custom cd installation? [21:11] tmapj: ah, well, the installation worked, Ubuntu studio didn't. You may want to ask them, as I'm less familiar with most of tose programs, #ubuntustudio [21:11] napo: sure, what's up [21:11] beli: ex- :/home//Desktop/folder/..... [21:11] napo: i am right now [21:11] I'm looking for a command line tool to use for converting an EPS to a PDF (that I'll use in Lyx). Can anyone suggest a good tool for this (that will maintain the details of the vector graphics) and, hopefully, what package it might be in? [21:11] wols: not that i know of... sstartx after a login [21:11] tmapj: But, you have successfully installed Ubuntu Studio [21:11] stnkyminky: thats the problem..... : is a separator...but as there is nothing....just edit your bashrc to: $classpath=/path/to/whatever [21:11] nikin: stuff like that is not wise. read docs first before you do stuff like this [21:11] yes flannel but all the programs are missing [21:11] wols: what docs? [21:11] napo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization :) [21:12] Taking away the moments that make up the dull day... [21:12] nikin: it will depend on ghostscript which does the actual converting [21:12] i was googling an hour with this problem [21:12] How to go easyly by "paste"-ing /usr/local/sbin/ to "sbin" folder? [21:12] nikin: for dbus [21:12] tmapj: Did you do what I just told you? sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt [21:12] LogiTech: what do you want to do that ?

Which is why I suggest you go ask in #ubuntustudio [21:14] catphish: ... another problem is that i not need the network configuration [21:14] how does xubuntu or ubuntu perform that it works? [21:14] anyone here knows how to use gfxboot in repo? [21:14] <_paradox_> anyone can help?

[21:29] yeah xchat for windows is a fail [21:29] stnkyminky: then do the following: "echo CLASSPATH=/home/user/Desktop/mirthrxt/mirth-1.7.0.3285/lib/custom/ >> ~/.bashrc" [21:30] LogiTech: ubuntu is a lot easier than windows actually [21:30] LogiTech: Its not, fire up the package manager, install. [21:30] k [21:30] luckily I don't use windows [21:30] LogiTech nothing easier than apt-get install IMHO [21:30] maslowbeer you have limited choices.. yes the restricted driver worked fine in gutsy.. but finding a hard line for internet just isnt a big deal for most people. or aptoncd etc [21:30] LogiTech: but you maybe should first read something, and not use programs from outside the repos which you rarely if ever need [21:30] Gutsy upgrades knock out my tvtuner card [21:30] TomB_: I use windows, lol [21:30] ieuw :-p [21:30] wols, i always use programs outside the repos..

[21:30] it's the way I connect to my spiffy buntu server [21:31] jason_1: fine for you [21:31] wols, you just said never to use [21:31] Hardy can be a bitch sometimes [21:31] pwd [21:31] but so can any new release...

[21:32] wols, well [21:32] wols, I still have no idea of how to use it [21:32] wols, where can I switch from grub to gfxboot?

Welcome! === papna_ is now known as papna [21:33] Jack_Sparrow, i figured this was ubuntu related? [21:33] sudobash, I did. Google only tells me grub-gfxboot from a deb not from the repo [21:33] apt-get is ubuntu related, no? [21:33] jason_1 but not support related [21:33] sudobash, I believe they are differernt [21:34] i can copy things to somewhere with "terminal commands" ? is that possible [21:34] pen: gfxboot is at most a grub fork === xyxyxw is now known as mojo___ [21:34] wols can I use apt-zip from a mounted windows partition?

[21:35] :P [21:35] wols, I know [21:35] Jack_Sparrow, according to discussion in ubuntu-offtopic using software outside of the repos will not break my system. [21:35] pen: you should have googled http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 for example [21:35] i have to skip apt-get sometimes to get stuff that people aren't maintaining, like aircrack [21:35] 1. copy apt-axel to /usr/local/sbin/ [21:35] cp apt-axel /usr/local/sbin/apt-axel that cp apt-axel /usr/local/sbin/apt-axel is command what i need to paste to "terminal" is that right?? === davi_ is now known as davi [21:36] tds5016: because they work whenever they want [21:36] you know, i actually have legitimate uses for aircrack, i'm one of the few [21:36] jason_1 you are very wrong [21:36] ikonia, right... i have the monitors the right way around now but I can't get the second one to use the right resolution [21:36] wols, I told the other guy about that page.

[21:37] just packaged differently. the 2what to do is very clear" tho [21:37] dunno, it's what they said, not me [21:37] jason_1 Please stop this line of discussion... thanks [21:37] the lichking in all seriousness though... where can I find up to date icon sets that will work with ubuntu?

[21:52] Jack_Sparrow: flame on! [21:52] hey my wireless card isnt in that list [21:52] ntfs is more prone to fragmentation [21:52] does that mean its unsupported? [21:53] how to get the default smb.conf file back? tried "sudo dpkg --configure samba" but that didn't work (obviously, or i wouldn't be here) [21:53] ext3 gets fragmentated mainly when the drive is nearly full and if you are in that type situtaion you wont have the diskspace to defrag anyways [21:53] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [21:53] Haikaido it means they dont support linux with drivers or info on their hardware allowing others to create drivers [21:53] What does that mean? [21:53] sudobash: guess it's too complicated to elaborate, but I found it weird as ext3 isn't commercial, and it seems better [21:53] I need help getting my wireless card to work [21:53] why does emerald break on 8.04? [21:53] crap...so theres no hope [21:54] what's the cared Master_Z [21:54] haikaido try ndiswrapper [21:54] Haikaido Cards are cheap... [21:54] Its a realtek 8185L.

[22:12] Fishscene, like nothing shows on it anymore and i cant click anything ever since i did an update [22:12] Master_Z: Have you tried NDISWrapper? [22:12] sarthor: don't repeat your question to often.. once every 5 minutes is enough [22:12] J-Unit: hit CTRL and R [22:12] Slart: Mistake, pardon [22:12] zsoilworker: no. I dont know how [22:12] sarthor: no worries =) [22:12] Alright dudes. Trying to upgrade server 6.06 LTS to 8.04 from command line. Done updates with apt-get and upgrade and dist-upgrade but just says I am up-to-date. On typing lsb_release -a it reports I am still with 6.06.02. Any suggestions? [22:13] Master_Z, were do i do that"? [22:13] martyn: you've not done it exactly the right way [22:13] !upgrade | martyn [22:13] martyn: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:13] martyn: don't know if there is anything about command line upgrades there.. worth a look though [22:13] Is there a way to check if vgetty is actually running and does my modem need to show that it is connected? [22:13] J-Unit: desktop [22:13] Is there good Antivirus software that runs in ubuntu? So I can scan my Windows backups before restoring them? [22:13] martyn: "sudo aptitude install update-manager-core" [22:13] Master_Z: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482&package_id=99148&release_id=573476 [22:13] martyn I thought it was... The proper way to upgrade to Hardy, use sudo do-release upgrade [22:14] Master_Z, doesnt do anything again since it would need for me to click on desktop but it doesnt "see the clicks" [22:14] martyn: "sudo do-release-upgrade" [22:14] apple-gunkies: I don't know if it's good.. but there are some [22:14] Gparted says that it can't read the contents of my ntfs filesystem [22:14] apple-gunkies: clamav is one it also has a windows port as well [22:14] ideas on whats wrong? [22:14] !antivirus | apple-gunkies [22:14] apple-gunkies: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [22:14] does adobe flash have a configuration file for sound? [22:14] is there some issue with ubuntu and video,or is it just me noobness?i've used gutsy and hardy on my pc and macbook pro and i keep having video lag. [22:14] Fritzel: nope [22:14] Cheers guys - just came from there! Thanks all responders - will try all above (but think I have already tried all of those suggested). Will report back... [22:14] Fritzel: No, just install the libraries again [22:14] Fritzel: it uses some kind of default sound.. it's not working for you? [22:14] Fritzel: adobe uses alsa for sound at least 9 does [22:15] zsoilworker: Okay, thanks. Now I need the windows driver correct? What format would that bae? [22:15] i installed ubuntu ona usb stick, i get the login window but then an empty desktop, what's wrong ? [22:15] it uses alsa but it uses it wrong, because it is locking down my sound card [22:15] !sound [22:15] 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 [22:15] Master_Z: You don't need the driver [22:15] Fritzel: you're running hardy? [22:15] Slart, yes [22:15] When I open up GParted, I get "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. [22:15] zsoilworker? Really? [22:15] tim167- usb stick?an 8gb one? [22:15] Anyone have any ideas? [22:15] Thanks Slart, kitche [22:16] Master_z: Not at this point, i meant [22:16] why does firefox look great on winxp but looks CRAPPY on ubuntu? [22:16] When I use various applications in Ubuntu (I installed & switched to kde after the fact), all text is very large. In firefox, java applications, etc. I've tried changing font settings to no avail [22:16] Master_Z: for feisty but gives the general idea http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-atheros-ar5007eg-wireless-on-feisty-fawn-with-ndiswrapper.html [22:16] Fritzel: try installing the pulseaudio tools.. and see if you can redirect it [22:16] evilbug: no a 4 gig one [22:16] Any suggestions? [22:16] Slart, I'm not using pulse [22:16] zsoilworker: okay [22:16] Fritzel: oh.. tried asoundconf ? [22:16] I've already googled, but I can't seem to find the reason behind Hardy not being able to display the contents of a USB harddrive [22:16] Master_Z: That manual rat gave is quite usefull [22:16] Copter possibly how your video card is setup or it does not have drivers for linux [22:16] tim167- ah.sorry,can't help. [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: I mean, they look "ok" but like BOLDY compared to winxp. I did install msttcore fonts, but everything looks off! [22:17] zsoilworker: yeah, I'm lookin at it [22:17] jwprox is it a passport drive? [22:17] Has anyone else had issues with Hardy not being able to mount USB hard drives> [22:17] can either powernowd or hotkey-management services by disabled for everyday use ? [22:17] Fritzel: just have to ask this.. you're really sure you're not running pulseaudio? you've uninstalled it/deactivated it manually? [22:17] When I open up GParted, I get "Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: No, just a typical external ide [22:17] Fritzel [22:17] thoughts?

[22:17] Fritzel: sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [22:17] Slart, well I'm not sure what good configuring alsa itself will do, every thing works 100% except when flash decides to lock down the card, which happens quite often expecially when I'm attempting to use wine, which is also configured for alsa, they both just don't cooperate [22:17] Copter: try playing with the font hinting and anti-aliasing [22:18] zSoilworker, my sound is not going through pulse [22:18] martyn, from which version ? [22:18] Fritzel: So? [22:18] I have alsa set on all devices in system > preferences > sound [22:18] Fritzel: you could always try running everything through dmix.. it will be software mixing but at least it might make it work.. [22:18] Fritzel: Are you trying with ffox? [22:18] ViCam-based USB Camera" has no release callback.

[22:21] Some_Person: try press caps lock and see if it does opposite [22:21] Some_Person: based on what you said, I would argue your caps lock is still on :-> [22:21] martyn, then you have to do one step at a time version to version - easier to get cd at this point [22:21] Fath[0]m: also you could grab IDLE from the repos [22:21] Rat - huh ?

[22:29] Some_Person, i think i confused you with somone else: oops [22:29] zSoilworker, it always played sound that wasn't the question, the question was why is it locking the sound card so that wine won't play sound, whenever npviewer.bin is running as a process (which I was told was part of flash) wine has no sound, if I kill npviewer.bin any application I start from that point have sound [22:29] Master_Z: ubuntu package search is your friend,i may have used a gutsy pkg,i forget [22:30] [0][1][beli@jalapeno] sudo apt-get update [22:30] zsh: segmentation fault sudo apt-get update [22:30] [139][2][beli@jalapeno] [22:30] g' day [22:30] nice ;] [22:30] aae: take a look at thie: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:30] Odd-rationale, thanks [22:30] how i can to registered my nick? :) [22:30] !register [22:30] 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.

(for me, on my laptop. My server runs MUCH better with 8.04...and in fact, I need 8.04 for the tape drive to work) [22:36] yaman, it is not better, just not compleatly bug free it seems [22:36] LogiTech: crontab is a way to schedule commands in linux..it's used for all kinds of stuff... google for crontab or run "man crontab" in a terminal [22:36] Hello guys. I'm about to buy a sound card in order to sort out the problems I got with my integrated sound card. The only card available to me seems to be the Creative Labs Audigy SE. The matrix vender at alsa project says about this card "no 96khz 24 bit support". What does that mean? Should I avoid this card because of that? I want to card to have MIDI playback, soundfont support and semi profesional audio recording. I'm running 8.04 [22:37] yaman, almost everybody is runnning it though, you should be fine [22:37] how can i stop ubuntu from asking for my friggin' password all the time? please? [22:37] Fritzel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12130/ [22:37] WFT is is with all of the sound card problems [22:37] ... [22:37] yaman if your hardware is supported than i recommend hardy. lot of people have issues with broadcom wireless chips so i'd make sure you can at least get online for help (etherner) if thats the case. also sometimes sound breaks, i'm not sure what the fix is for that. but i've seen people say, go ahead and do it. its much better to do a fresh install though [22:37] sten_ , Broadcom : so what should install now ? the 7 or the 8 ? [22:37] I am getting so upset here [22:37] I'm having issues with the webpage export of Fspot actually displaying pics on my joomla server. Works great statically from a directory on my machine.. anyone else have experience with this or know of what I need to do to get it working? [22:37] Master_Z: What's the deal?

[22:38] yaman, see ibleed's comment [22:38] zSoilworker, can you give me a quick rundown on what this does? few words are fine [22:38] How can i manually kill a process? (it's wine and i can't see it running anywhere besides in the terminal when i do "top" ) [22:38] no its not >.> [22:38] Rhythmbox opens automatically when i plug my ipod in. How can i disable this "feature"? [22:38] I've been here for almost 2 months and no one has helped! [22:38] BadMAx: the audigy2 cards work nicely.. but I think support for x-fi isn't stable [22:38] Master_Z: Please, read the howto on the website [22:38] I did >.> [22:38] I want it to have the same behavior as in windows [22:38] douye, killall -9 wine [22:38] douye: use the system manager [22:38] !patience | master_z [22:38] master_z: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:38] I've downloaded ndiswrapper and the windows driver [22:38] Broadcom: I have ubuntu on a thumbdrive, but I don't have a CDROM drive [22:38] Since Ubuntu does not have inittab, where would I add a line to enable a COM port? [22:38] Broadcom : thanx [22:38] where i can push like windows key + d to show the desktop and windows key + l to lock the computer [22:39] Today I updated to hardy. when I try to logon in gdm, after entering the user name the X server restarts. does anyone know of this issue? Maybe it has to do with the thinkfinger... [22:39] I've had patience for 2 monhts [22:39] its gotten nowhere [22:39] drewby, can you get it on a cdrom? [22:39] When I try to set my resolution to 1024x768, my screen shuts off and forces me to restart my PC. [22:39] Master_Z, what is the probles [22:39] need some help with Wine, guys [22:39] Broadcom: it crashes after reading first line of the file...

If neither works better, than you might as well go with 8.04 [22:39] beli: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to install my realtek 8185 [22:40] drewby, google it [22:40] Master_Z, sorry [22:40] When I use various applications in Ubuntu (I installed & switched to kde after the fact), all text is very large. In firefox, java applications, etc. I've tried changing font settings to no avail. Any suggestions? [22:40] Broadcom: problem with those solutions is I don't want to corrupt my thumbdrive [22:40] refresh my memory... i haven't used irc in almost 10 years (don't remember commands either) if i double click someone's user name on the right (i'm using pidgin) it will open a direct chat with them yes? [22:40] master_z, you searched if the card is supported ? [22:40] zSoilworker, alright I'll see how it works out and let you know [22:40] Phantal-: check the dpi setting for your monitor? [22:40] lo :) [22:40] gretsch6151: if you're registered, yes. [22:40] im lost [22:40] good nidht [22:41] Fritzel: k [22:41] Slart, it's on a laptop. Resolution is set at 1920x1080 or somesuch [22:41] douye: it is [22:41] maybe i'll try tomorrow. if they did update signing key , maybe they'll release somethiing soon [22:41] thought so. thanx Z [22:41] zSoilworker, one quick question though [22:41] what would output of "ls -l /usr/lib/libcups.so.2" mean, if it returns a line like ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? libcups.so.2 [22:41] izinucs: Well, 1024x768 runs at a lower refresh rate, but when I try to run Half life 2 via wine, the screen always switches to 1024x768. It works after waiting for about 30 seconds, but if I set the game to run in a window, then restart HL2, the game won't run after the intro [22:41] zSoilworker, the url at the top am I supposed to grab something from there or is that simple reference? [22:41] Oyasumi irc ↖o↗ [22:41] master_z, k i will try to help figure things out.. but cant promise anything (just started with ubuntu myself.. but got wireless working tho) [22:41] Phantal-: check system, preferences, appearance... fonts tab.. and press "details".. there's a number at the top.. mine is 96.. it affects how large fonts are [22:42] Fritzel: it's for downloading the plugin and the viewer [22:42] supaneko:do you mean for a serial console? How many, and what kind of serial ports do you have? [22:42] Fritzel: Sorry, i assume you'll see it [22:42] maynards-girl: maynard fergusons? [22:42] Slart: for what I've seen at the wiki, every audigy migh work differently. That's why I want to know what "no 96khz 24bit support" means [22:42] Fritzel: Are you in a x64 arch? [22:42] Master_Z http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95879 i assume you have tried this? [22:42] sten_, I am trying to setup a voicemail server. I have an external serial modem attached. Dialing out seems to work but it is not answering calls. [22:42] ok Broadcom did the lspci thing, it gave me some stuff [22:42] zSoilworker, I see it I'm just don't fully understand what I'm about to do and I am double checking [22:42] My guess is that I need to somehow enable vgetty or the COM port at startup. [22:43] hey, everyone. How do you remove/change the little disclaimer ("the programs included with ubuntu.... no warranty... ") thing from login prompts? [22:43] sten_: don't mean to bother you but how did you get your usb nic to work? [22:43] Fritzel: That's ok. [22:43] zSoilworker, yes I'm on x64 [22:43] BadMAx: 96Khz, 24bit seems like a very very high quality to be using.. a CD is what.. 44,1 kHz, 16 bit.. [22:43] Zaiden, sounds like I came into your issue late. I thought you had overall resolution issues. not issues with HL [22:43] bye guys [22:43] undecim, edit /etc/motd [22:43] thanks for your help [22:43] ty [22:43] Fritzel: So i deducted, try that, you can check it with anyone here. [22:43] !shortcut [22:43] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [22:43] Slart, i don't see a details button, but there's a 'force fonts dpi' option that was previously disabled that has an option for 96DPI ...

[22:43] I'm trying to make a terminal open in my second workspace on startup. Is there anyway to do this with a script? OR, is there anyway to switch between active workspaces with the terminal? because then I could activate the second workspace run the terminal wait a bit and then switch back to the first. any ideas? [22:43] sten_: i am [22:43] izinucs: s'okay, I should've been more specific [22:44] master_z: did you install the ndiswrapper and all ? [22:44] gretsch6151: ok. That's where I'm debugging your NIC issue [22:44] does anyone use multiget with ubuntu 7.10? [22:44] Phantal-: no details button?? you're running hardy? [22:44] In other news, I can run sound with second life and firefox at the same time, but the sound lags for a second :< [22:44] douye: yes, I did via synaptics manager [22:44] Slart, changing that setting fixed it, thank you.

[22:45] Slart, eh, i don't remember how to check. but, problem is fixed [22:45] when you share a folder with nautilus, where does it store that share information? (where's the text configuration file it writes to?) [22:45] zSoilworker, would starting firefox with aoss make this whole problem alot simpler? [22:45] douye: awesome! no I didnt! okay. so how do I redirect my terminal to the folder on my desktop? [22:45] Fritzel: incredible. [22:46] jamiejackson: I'm guessing somewhere in that gnome config database.. gconf-editor will let you look around in it [22:46] Fritzel: you could use esd also [22:46] master_z: you dont have to, just run those commands [22:46] WIth the new SSL vulnerability, what can I do to patch my system so I don't have problems?

[22:47] k ty [22:47] Finiras: gFTP [22:47] ChosenOne: alrighty. at any rate, if bash tells you "no such file or directory", odds are pretty good there's no such file or directory [22:47] zSoilworker, I know that was mentioned earlier if you were the one who made the suggestion I appologize ^^ [22:47] Mathman: it started with apt failing to unpack a libcups-update to the path /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 - and `ls` says "cannot access, no such file for direcotry" [22:47] master_z: its with cd /home//desktop/ [22:47] here Broadcom, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12136/ [22:47] anyone experiencing a problem with the screensaver in 8.04 ? after a length of time, - it *occasionally* logs me out of my system... wtf? why is this happening?

[22:50] douye: no such directory [22:50] MrObvious: Its been patched [22:50] Slart, blank is boring... :) I have the minimal effects set... I think the max would be too much and I wanted something more than no effects... the power saving settings should be at default [22:51] master_z: ah little shortcut: go to your desktop by using a file explorer and copy the url [22:51] MrObvious: Do you have your OS uptodate? [22:51] CaptainMorgan: ati graphics? [22:51] zSoilworker: As of yesterday or today. [22:51] i have something i think and admin might want to see....

[22:51] MrObvious if not yet, the patch will be delivered between today and saturday [22:51] gretsch6151: I think that the private chat would be either a tab in your chatting window, or else it will show up as an entry in your buddy list [22:51] what is the best program language to learn for stand-along programs? [22:52] *stand-alone [22:52] CaptainMorgan: well.. I'm guessing the 3d stuff does something bad to your system.. [22:52] zSoilworker: Ahh there it is. libssl0.9.8 is gonna be upgraded. [22:52] tawd: there is none, and dont ask it here, ubuntu only :) [22:52] tawd: as a first language? [22:52] MrObvious: Go wild [22:52] http://pastie.caboo.se/197142 @ Mathman [22:52] MrObvious: any SSH keys you have generated may be compromised, despite the patch. [22:52] tawd: perl is often quick to learn. [22:52] zSoilworker: Upgrading dude! [22:52] douye: sigh, I dont understand. perhaps its -cd and not cd? [22:52] MrObvious: mcphail is right [22:52] thanks Broadcom, never used unbuntu before, where is sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [22:52] *cough*... did you just recommend perl as a starter language????.. [22:52] zSoilworker, ok I always hate asking these questions but as of yet I have no idea how to find the proper location yet [22:52] master_z: nah its cd, but uhm are you using the english version of ubuntu ? [22:52] never mind [22:53] sten_: found it got the auto reply.. heh :) [22:53] mcphail: Yeah that's scary! I use SSH all the time for online banking. I do it on Linux because of the lack of spyware/viruses on Windows. But this is huge. [22:53] douye: yep [22:53] Slart, i know basic, and python looks easy, but i'm looking for good solid stand alones [22:53] slart: yep. print "hello world";' [22:53] can't get much easier then that [22:53] Mister_Death, go to terminal, under acessories and put it in [22:53] master_z: hmm k, then it should be cd /home/username/Desktop [22:53] peanut3r, ok, thanks [22:53] tawd: no language is really stand alone.. but this is offtopic here.. [22:53] mcphail: armadill0: zSoilworker: What can I do to patch Firefox against this? Most of my SSL stuff is either the occasional SSH or Firefox SSL needs or Thunderbird. [22:53] douye: username is zach, so it would be: cd /home/zach/Desktop right? [22:53] i did thanks Broadcom [22:53] tawd: go with java or python.. that's what the schools are using [22:54] I seem to have an error with libaoss.so how do I find out which package contains this file http://pastebin.com/d48b4581a for the full output [22:54] ChosenOne: so run fsck [22:54] Master_z: yep [22:54] Mister_Death, does it work? [22:54] zSoilworker, ^^^ [22:54] !info aoss [22:54] Hey guys, what is the file format extension for an mpeg2 file? [22:54] Package aoss does not exist in hardy [22:54] any ideas why my apt-get update is segfaulting? [22:54] MrObvious: you don't need to patch firefox. Sites that have SSL certificates created or signed by debian boxes are the problem [22:54] douye: worked. [22:54] using an empty sources.list it just doesnt crash [22:54] master_z: nice :) [22:54] its gave alot of extracting thing [22:54] mcphail: Oh, it's servers. Ok. [22:54] Broadcom: [22:54] start, ok, then i need to search for how to create gui for python [22:54] beli: bad memory? hard drive problems? drunken people hex editing?.. it's not a normal thing [22:54] Mathman: so my guess seems right? it's a "virtual server", gonna contact my provider then. [22:55] slart, ok, then i deed to search for how to create gui for python [22:55] douye: the folder on the desktop is called rtl8185, how would I redirect it to that? [22:55] master_z: now the next step, lemme figure it out :P [22:55] Slart: what is normal? ;) [22:55] douye: ok. [22:55] MrObvious: Basically, you can't trust https at the moment [22:55] beli, that has only happened to me in the past when i had faulty hardware [22:55] master_z: ah you need to go inside that folder uhm [22:55] Mister_Death, ?? [22:55] tawd: ask in #python, they might be able to help you find something good [22:55] master_z: lets see.. [22:55] Broadcom do you want me to put it in a paste bin to see what it say [22:55] slart, thanks [22:55] Mister_Death, no, just try wirelss [22:55] mcphail: Crap that is scary. What can you tell me so that I don't have to worry? Just wait a while or what? [22:55] ok [22:56] beli: hehe.. well.. firefox crashing, pulseaudio hating me.. that's all normal.. apt-get segfaulting isn't =) [22:56] For some reason, if I try to use ncmpc, or mpc or mplayer or mpg123 to play a track, even rhythmbox, It will freeze up or won't play but in firefox, flash player works fine. [22:56] Slart, ibleed: this is indeed an old box....so lemme do what we never do: reboot [22:56] MrObvious: probably best to remain scared/careful for the timebeing [22:56] * mcphail puts on his tinfoil hat [22:56] beli: have you tried "sudo apt-get install reinstall apt" ? perhaps use a cd-rom as source if you can't make it play nice with the internet repos [22:57] master_z: cd /home/zach/Desktop/rtl8185 [22:57] mcphail: Great. :\ I guess I'll stay off my online banking and e-mail until then. [22:57] i have problem with the flash player on firefox,it doesn't play the music on videos.... [22:57] Hi, my laptop was connected to the TV but now the TV isn't there anymore and i didn't clone the screen, how can i reset it? [22:57] anyone help? [22:57] thx Mathman. [22:57] I've switched to XFCE desktop, removed ubuntu-*, removed gnome-*, and installed Xubuntu-* wich installed some gnome features, how do i make it so the gnome desktop doesn't keep popping up as primary desktop? [22:57] ir1: don't use flash :P [22:57] dang, i thought i put irc, aim, msn, yahoo, etc behind me years ago... who would've thought [22:57] ir1: many people have asked that question.. I don't have a good answer.. perhaps someone else knows [22:58] ir1, installing libflashsupport fixed that problem for me in hardy [22:58] and what should i use? [22:58] D3RGPS31, when you login, choose KDE [22:58] jo4, what type, is it ibm? [22:58] can anyone help me with some "mounting" problems...? [22:58] Broadcom: i don't have KDE [22:58] eww didn't like kde [22:58] irl: is it a ppc? [22:58] nothing, Broadcom [22:58] ir1: something sane. HTML has great support for embedding media [22:58] For some reason, if I try to use ncmpc, or mpc or mplayer or mpg123 to play a track, even rhythmbox, It will freeze up or won't play but in firefox, flash player works fine. [22:58] D3RGPS31, but you have xuubntu, right? [22:58] Mister [22:58] Broadcom: yes [22:59] master_z: are you in the right folder now ? [22:59] Mister_Death, sorry, hit enter, not tab [22:59] sea_wolf: hmm... if you promise never to put "mounting" in quotes like that... it looks.. naughty.. =) [22:59] ir1: if you want to use flash, however, you might want to try swfdec as a free alternative. [22:59] douye: I installed ndisgtk earlier, and if you scroll down, someone says thry installed it by going to adminstration, windows wireless drivers, and browsed for the wireless file. I did so, and now its saying hardware present [22:59] D3RGPS31, that comes with kde [22:59] thanks man === sooty is now known as Bodsda [22:59] can't mount certain drives, they're there, but it says there's a naming problem, "probably a / " [22:59] master_z: hah, so your wireless card is working? [22:59] gnuskool_, it's some sort of Eurosomething, cheap thing.. I tried regenerating xorg.conf, but obviously, gnome's using something else.. I i can just make the xserver send to the laptop's screen again [22:59] douye: its showing my wireless network!! [22:59] Broadcom: through synaptic, it never said anything about KDE, it just used gnome packages [22:59] master_z: nice ^^ [22:59] D3RGPS31, im an idiot, sorry, ignore me, thinking about Kubuntu [22:59] nn [22:59] haha [22:59] sea_wolf: naming problem..hmm.. have you got the exact error messages? [22:59] master_z: now get it to connect :P [22:59] douye: this is awesome. brb gonna connect using it [23:00] nothing, Broadcom [23:00] Slart....yes, I do....hold on, let me pull it up. [23:00] < need to get myself a laptop soon to test out the wireless [23:00] Broadcom, from what i hear the kubuntu 4 is very cool even though it still needs alot of work. i'm happy with gnome [23:00] Hey there, grub complains about not finding stage2 or not reading correctly (depends on whether manually setting up or using grub-install), but it's definitely where it should be (/boot/grub/stage2) [23:00] so what lappy is everyone using? [23:01] [0][6][beli@jalapeno] sudo apt-get update > /dev/null && echo $? [23:01] 0 [23:01] mysticdarkhack: acer 8291 [23:01] thanks guys... [23:01] reboot helped ;) [23:01] thinkpad t60 [23:01] mysticdarkhack, its not fair to ask that question in a channel of 1300+ people [23:01] I've installed XFCE with Xubuntu, removing Ubuntu and Gnome. Gnome's desktop takes over sometimes, how do i stop that? [23:01] "mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) " [23:01] mysticdarkhack: and I actually think everything works on it.. without any extra work [23:01] what does that mean?? [23:01] * beli detex: need to do a memory check :) [23:01] thx [23:02] how can I find out which package contains a file? [23:02] really.. and why not? [23:02] sea_wolf: ok.. when do you get this message? [23:02] hello folks [23:02] jo4, on my ibm, i press the Fn +F7 key on startup and that alternates screens [23:02] hi all, where can I find a list of options for launching firefox like %s? I'm trying to get links to launch in the background [23:02] sea_wolf: when double-clicking on the drive in a nautilus window? [23:02] when I try and open the drive, click on it, it's not on me desktop either anymore! [23:03] Today I updated to hardy. when I try to logon in gdm, after entering the user name the X server restarts. does anyone know of this issue? Maybe it has to do with the thinkfinger... [23:03] i see and I was thinking of getting a sony vaio with the webcam built in. So I probably be testing the wireless and webcam [23:03] anyone know how to view a tiff image within mozilla? Every program I have tried failed ie. Plugger, Imagemagik etc [23:03] I'm trying to make a terminal open in my second workspace on startup. Is there anyway to do this with a script? OR, is there anyway to switch between active workspaces with the terminal? because then I could activate the second workspace run the terminal wait a bit and then switch back to the first. any ideas? [23:03] sea_wolf: ok.. have you tried setting mountpoints by right-clicking on the drive and going to properties? [23:03] mysticdarkhack, because of the volume of people. if your laptop shopping a better question might be what laptop works well with ubuntu/linux. just my opinion [23:03] gnuskool_, oh, that's really nice. but does the 'Screen Resolution' settings save in a .gnomesomething file? Cause replacing xorg.conf didn't do squat.. I'll check if i have a button [23:03] won't let me mount the bloody drive....it doesn't give me "mountpoints" option. [23:03] mysticdarkhack: get a live cd and bring it to the store.. ask if you can try it before you buy it.. just to see if things work [23:04] I need to compile madwifi drivers from source for a laptop. In the past I would use module-assistant to achieve this, which also keeps the module recompiled whenever a kernel update happens. Is this still the preferred method or are there other means? [23:04] sea_wolf: ok.. start gconf-editor from a terminal.. or alt+f2.. it doesn't matter [23:04] how can i log into my dads computer (VNC) ive enabled settings and things in System--> Preferences--> Remote Login but dont know what to do next [23:04] true enough, but it good to experiment and see if ubuntu will work on all laptop [23:04] Mister_Death, one sec [23:04] !broadcom [23:04] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [23:04] Mister_Death, sorry, lost wireless for a sec [23:04] oh, its cool [23:05] mysticdarkhack, yes though its good to ask good questions :) that way everyone learns. [23:05] bodsda, use remote connection [23:05] Blahz, is that a program? from terminal?? [23:05] jo4, nah it saves in xoeg.conf, you need to have the right parameters in it though, check ubuntuforums.org, lots of resolution and screen info on there [23:05] no, it is an app [23:05] true but I'll be ordering my lappy online [23:05] now what Slart? [23:05] Blahz, how do i run the app [23:05] it uses UDP for windows remote desktop [23:06] Bodsda: It's under Applications -> Internet [23:06] sea_wolf: go to system, storage, volumes [23:06] owh, using module assistant to compile madwifi where it doesn't break during a kernel update sounds like a winning situation [23:06] right on the money there [23:06] gnuskool_, ok, i'll just make another temp user.. but the button was cool, ty ;D [23:06] roger...and then? [23:06] sea_wolf: any folders there? [23:06] owh, cheers dude -- i set things up just didnt know how to actually log in -- lol,. cheers ;~) [23:06] ibleed: Yeah, I was just checking to see if a new method had evolved that I wasn't aware of :) [23:06] yes, the two I'm looking to mount. [23:07] Interesting. Why is VNC disabled on the Terminal Server Client? [23:07] Fishscene: Because you need to install the bits. [23:07] sea_wolf: if you click on the volumes you might see the key "mount point" on the right half [23:07] trying to compile a newer kernel is a pain when it ubuntu specification [23:07] Fishscene: It's like a plug-in from memory. [23:07] owh, Understood. Where might I get the packages? [23:07] what should I be changing them to Slart? [23:07] how do i close a channel in ksirc, and where can i find the channel list? [23:07] sea_wolf: the mountpoint should only be one word.. no / \ etc [23:07] Fishscene: One mo [23:07] anything imparticular I DON'T want to do? [23:07] sea_wolf: see any ones that contain bad characters? [23:08] sea_wolf: nah.. if you have to, you can just remove these folders.. and recreate them.. no big deal [23:08] anyway, i'm off [23:09] later all [23:09] I changed the "/media/Backup" to just " Backup " [23:09] sea_wolf: correct.. it adds the media part by itself [23:09] where do i find the channel list on ksirc [23:09] sea_wolf: I don't know if you have to restart for this to take effect.. but try mounting the drive now [23:09] right then. let's see. [23:10] where is the file which says which modules to load? i need to uncomment the lines that load the ssb module [23:10] jberg: /etc/modprobe.d/ somewhere in there perhaps [23:10] Fishscene: If I recall correctly you also need to install vncviewer. [23:10] douye: it worked! I am connected, and I have internet. Thanks so much. [23:10] ahok [23:11] Fishscene: That will enable the pop-up. [23:11] ok Thanks [23:11] worked. spot on dude!! thanks. [23:11] sea_wolf: you're welcome [23:11] master_1: heh glad you got it working now :) (fixed my inet on school today aswell, they didnt like linux :( ) [23:11] Slart: is it the alias file? [23:11] can i make an application execute a bash command that isn't related to the application everytime i run it? [23:12] douye: Linux rocks. Because of my suggestion of wubi, all the lab computers in my school are dual booting xp and hardy heron :P [23:12] jberg: I'm not sure..but there are blacklist files and such in there.. seems like a logical place for it to be [23:12] master_1: haha :P dont think they will do that as my school gets all the software from microsoft [23:13] can anyone tell me how to fix my display with xfce from a terminal? [23:13] douye: lol. my IT teacher loves open source. anyway, g2g. thanks again. [23:13] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt work [23:13] anyways, im trying to get ndiswrapper to work with the windows drivers for my network card. i do ndiswrapper -i to insert them, but when i do ndiswrapper -l to list it says driver installed but, alternate driver: ssb [23:13] Hey, how do I disablew indow borders around gterm?

Can someone instruct me as to how I can get my system to a good state? [23:15] Fritzel: 9r48 or some weird number like that it's 9 though [23:15] TelnetManta, reboot-->grub choose recovery-->choose fix x-->let it do its thing-->reboot as normal [23:15] disposable, so I noticed, it's 9? bah there goes that theory [23:15] no luck Broadcom [23:15] Fritzel: yes, as kitche pointed out [23:15] disposable, kitch -nod- [23:15] how can I route audio to the microphone so I can play an audio file over a VoIP client?

[23:20] cylux, mpg I think. Or mpeg? [23:20] Anyone have any idea why Gnome would be showing a window filled with boxes (instead of text) at login?
