[00:00] !paste > beginner [00:00] zSoilworker, when you say download the .tar.gz do you mean the 32 bit version from adobe.com? or do you see a 64 bit version that I don't? [00:00] beginner, update 7.10 fully, then come back [00:00] Fritzel: the x86 [00:00] alright [00:00] How can I make a launcher that goes to a directory then runs a .jar file? Because if I give the absolute location of the jar, it doesnt start [00:00] Fritzel: I'm trying another solution thou [00:01] linkmaster03: write a small shell script and run that [00:01] !info java [00:01] Package java does not exist in hardy [00:01] !info java-sun [00:01] Package java-sun does not exist in hardy [00:01] ill try this again im using the latest ubuntu 64 bit i installed a win driver in ndiwrap and set that in gedit i restarted and i get login and password once i go past and start up ubuntu i get a error message that states error starting gnome in settings daemon [00:01] :\ [00:01] zSoilworker, alright, is my current progress here going to be a problem? should I undo or finish these steps? [00:01] ah, [00:01] zSoilworker: thhx [00:01] !info sun-java6-jre [00:01] sun-java6-jre (source: sun-java6): Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-06-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6185 kB, installed size 14188 kB [00:01] Fritzel: No, go on [00:01] drivetrax: areu sure? [00:01] gracias [00:01] zSoilworker, alright [00:01] jrib: would I do that by making an empty file, writing the commands, and calling that file? [00:02] linkmaster03: yes, and the first line should be: #!/bin/bash [00:02] hey people... id like to set up a browseable list of files i have located on a home network . what do i need for that ... it would just be so that files could be downloaded .... no need to be extra secure or log in and such ... [00:02] Fritzel: have you tried starting ffox w/aoss? [00:02] jrib: thank you [00:02] What's the command to list all drives in a system again? fdisk -l ? [00:02] zSoilworker, yes it didn't seem to make a difference [00:02] druew, perhaps samba === Bar2 is now known as BartS [00:02] BlueLaguna: yes, sudo fdisk -l [00:02] i've installed python2.4 and i still get a "error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" against an application linked with that library [00:03] linkmaster03: Be sure to make the script executable, i.e. use something like "chmod +x myscript" [00:03] Nehal: Oh right, thanks. I forgot it needs root permissions [00:03] dpowerd: yeah that might be something thanks [00:03] anyone know how to make compiz start on startup? I use fusion icon but it doesn't work [00:03] I still have to right click the icon to enable compiz [00:03] Fritzel: so you've already installed alsa-oss? [00:03] will a ssh pub key become useless if I try to access from a different IP where I generated it? [00:03] yes [00:04] zSoilworker, yes [00:04] Anybody have any luck getting an atheros wireless to work? [00:04] #elitewarez [00:04] can i get 2.6.25 kernel in a ubuntu package or do i need to compile my own kernel? [00:04] Fritzel: and edited /etc/firefox/firefoxrc dsp? [00:04] * emma *smiles* [00:04] zSoilworker, no that I havn't done I tried to aoss firefox, I didn't know about that setting one moment [00:04] Figured out my dual-head problem: Window manager was only drawing background for the size of the larger of the two screens. Restarting the window manager after configuring the dual heads fixed the background. compiz won't handle desktop that big, though (search ubuntu bugs for details) so had to revert to metacity. [00:04] zSoilworker, it should read aoss? [00:05] if I connect to an access point, the bottom light comes on, and the icon just spins for a minute or two, and then disconnects. [00:05] Fritzel: gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [00:05] dpnoid: Have you looked at using "madwifi"? I don't have an Atheros card, but I think madwifi is for Atheros chipsets. [00:05] but if I set an ip address on ath0 _while_ it's spinning, I can ping stuff [00:05] * emma is reporting for duty [00:05] FIREFOX_DSP="none" 2 FIREFOX_DSP="aoss" [00:05] done [00:05] Fritzel: restart ffox [00:05] did testing [00:06] zSoilworker: restart session jincase. [00:06] I think it may have something to do with the wpa on the access point, but I don't have access to change that (work ap) [00:06] hello can anyone assist me on how to fix my gnome settings daemon prob [00:07] Is there any program that tracks the apps you have been working on and gives you stats? [00:07] is there a safe, GUI tool for editing GRUB? [00:07] zSoilworker, hang on let me finish the first steps so I'm sure flash is correctly installed, I'm right in the middle of it [00:07] Fritzel: ok [00:07] Help? I just added 2gbs ram to my system, giving me 3 total in two sticks, now ubuntu is running very very sluggish and the CPU is maxed out all the time. Remove extra ram, problem gone. I get an error in (or after) grub telling me something about being unable to acolatte(?) some PCI bus on sector 1 and 9... I really have no idea whats going on, help? [00:07] YouKnowMe, did you turn off your swapfile? === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso [00:08] dpnoid: no? I don't understand why I'd need to? [00:09] YouKnowMe, just checking, it sounded like you might have [00:09] YouKnowMe, does it still give you problems if you use just the 2gb stick without the 1gb? [00:09] YouKnowMe, (aka, memcheck'ish type stuff) [00:10] Fritzel: brb [00:10] wols: the issue turned out to be (with the flash drive) that the little write protect notch was set to protect it. but, in trying to investigate the issue I made changes to the drive's mount point properties and made a mess of that. luckily i found a launchpad article that explained a similar error and was able to use gconf-editor to correct my issue. thanks for your help, but the answer isn't always that everything in linux is a file [00:10] I'm using an atheros wireless card in my laptop (ar2413). if I connect to an access point, the bottom light comes on, and the icon just spins for a minute or two, and then disconnects. [00:10] how do i set my res through a command prompt????? [00:10] i mean terminal [00:10] Bill lover. [00:11] anyone know any good physics applications for Ubuntu [00:11] dpnoid, should I turn it off? [00:11] dpnoid, no [00:11] :p [00:11] YouKnowMe, no [00:11] YouKnowMe, are the sticks 3gb total, or 1gb each [00:12] YouKnowMe, try taking out the 1gb stick, using only the 2gb stick, and see if you still have problems [00:12] alexman, man xrandr [00:12] Heya. I'm considering a switch to Ubuntu, but I'm wondering if I will be able to use my USB headset for sound output on MULTIPLE programs at the same time. Does anyone know? [00:12] anyone know how to make compiz start on startup? I use fusion icon but it doesn't work [00:12] I still have to right click the icon to enable compiz [00:12] hey is there any way i can get 2.6.25 kernel without compiling it myself? [00:12] dpnoid: Have you verified if you can connect to any other APs? [00:12] Zak, yes, although there's a snaffu with flash right now (adobe knows about the bug and should have a fix at some point) [00:13] drivetrax: 1x 2gb 1x 1Gb [00:13] STSX, I don't have any other ap's to test with [00:13] !info ja [00:13] Package ja does not exist in hardy [00:13] STSX, but my n800 (little nokia tablet that runs linux) connects to it fine [00:13] YouKnowMe, -- did your motherboard say to use three 1gb sticks [00:13] Previous versions of Ubuntu didn't let me use the same soundcard for multiple apps, has 8.10 changed this then? === jarleih is now known as lwejh [00:13] !NX [00:13] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [00:13] I have a very odd question: traditionally /usr/bin/[ and /usr/bin/test were links to the same executable. On RHEL5, Debian Lenny/Sid and on the Hardy I find that they are separate files with different inodes and file sizes. What's up with that? [00:14] Zak, all previous versions have allowed that, unless you turned off sound mixing [00:14] I am looking at this page http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-490800.html and the first command gives a permision denied any one know why? [00:14] dpnoid: Are you using the network-admin to set up the connection? i.e. System > Admin > Network? [00:14] Zak, individual applications might be broken, and demand exclusive rights to the sound card, but anythign reasonably modern shouldn't have that problem (again, flash snaffu not withstanding) [00:14] AnswerGuy, I do not know but that might be a question better for the folks in #ubuntu+1 [00:14] * AnswerGuy is guessing his question probably should be sent to the coreutils maintainers. :( [00:14] STSX, I'm trying to. I can get it working via wpa_supplicant [00:15] Can anybody help me with ssh vulnerabilitys + NX? [00:15] STSX, but there's no equivilent that I can see for any of the options I need to set to get it to work [00:15] zSoilworker, ok after running the steps I started firefox and it chugged along loading then pausing loading then pausing, then I noticed an update to nspluginwrapper available in the repos and verified it as being a newer version so I went ot install it and I got this, does it make any sense? how would you resolve it? http://pastebin.com/d13e3bf99 [00:15] So, let me take for example. Skype and perhapse a media player could output to the same device without problems? [00:15] hi all, i have been trying to get realtime filesystem antivirus scanning to work. i have been able to make clamuko and clamfs work. however, if i copy the eicar.com file, it allows me to copy/create/delete. it properly blocks read access to the file. is there a way to disallow copying/creation also? [00:16] dpnoid: Are you using WPA or WPA2? [00:16] Zak, afaik, yes (although I don't use skype myself, I play movies and mp3's and quake sound all at the same time all the time) [00:16] STSX, wpa [00:16] dpnoid, Thanks for the help. I'll try 8.10 in a moment. [00:17] Zak, if skype gives you trouble, google for 'skype pulseaudio', and that should get you going [00:17] drivetrax: I have an IP-95 with 2x DDR slots and 2X DDR2 slots. I am using only the DDR2 slots, both filled, one with a stick of !gb and the other with a stick of @gb. [00:17] anyone know why ide get a permision denied using sudo? [00:17] zSoilworker, would I be best off removing the downloaded package and installing nspluginwrapper by repo? [00:17] clintchance, played with your sudoers file recently? [00:17] no [00:17] dpnoid: OK, so you tried the "WPA-Personal" option in the network-admin program and it's not letting you connect? What errors do you get? Also try looking at the error log files using "dmesg" [00:17] i havent even touches the file system [00:18] somebody using flash + firefox ibook g4? [00:19] STSX, yep. tail -f /var/log/syslog seems to show normal looking stuff, dhcpd starts up, and then fails to acquire an address [00:20] STSX, (noting again that it works just fine on the n800, dhcp and all) [00:20] i guess nobody knows. oh well il have to go crazy again [00:20] clintchance, new user? [00:20] no [00:20] i just installed this os [00:20] Fritzel: back. [00:20] clintchance: what command exactly? [00:20] zSoilworker, welcome back [00:20] i would have had it a wile back but it didnt like my wifi [00:20] hold on [00:21] Evolution stopped opening.... I just updated ubuntu hardy and now evolution won't open. I checked System Monitor, and evolution is running as a process, but it doesn't have an open window...... [00:21] sudo echo blacklist ath_pci >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:21] Fritzel: Are you done? [00:21] zSoilworker, scroll up a bit I ran into an issue [00:21] Fritzel: if you find issues with it, its the same [00:21] clintchance: because your root privileges do not extend to the second part of that command [00:21] so what do i do [00:21] Fritzel: but i advise you to follow me up from the top [00:22] dpnoid: Is your /etc/hosts file OK? Does it have localhost 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1? [00:22] could anyone help me install ubuntu from a thumb drive? [00:22] STSX, works fine if I'm plugged in [00:22] clintchance: sudo echo 'blacklist ath_pci' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:22] zSoilworker, (recap) ok after running the steps I started firefox and it chugged along loading then pausing loading then pausing, then I noticed an update to nspluginwrapper available in the repos and verified it as being a newer version so I went ot install it and I got this, does it make any sense? how would you resolve it? http://pastebin.com/d13e3bf99 [00:22] STSX, yes, for both [00:22] hello.i need some help please. i need to adjust the border area of my synaptic touchpad. how can i do that? [00:22] sudo echo 'blacklist ath_pci' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:23] tmapj, isn't it the same as starting a live cd? [00:23] emma idk [00:23] ill try that [00:23] Same thing [00:23] dpnoid: For troubleshooting did you say you tried a static address? What happened? [00:23] clintchance, echo foo | sudo tee -a /file/name [00:23] tmapj, it would be my guess. Just stick it in, start the live session and then click on the install icon and follow the steps. [00:23] Evolution stopped opening.... I just updated ubuntu hardy and now evolution won't open. I checked System Monitor, and evolution is running as a process, but it doesn't have an open window...... [00:23] Fritzel: just purge the prior installation [00:23] STSX, how do you set a static address via network manager wireless? [00:24] hello.i need some help please. i need to adjust the border area of my synaptic touchpad. how can i do that? [00:24] Fritzel: somewhere in the middle there was a mistake [00:24] quentusrex, type this in terminal: ps aux | grep evolution [00:24] clintchance: The problem with the command you tried is that the redirection is not run as root--use dpnoid's method. :) [00:24] quentusrex, what does it say? [00:24] would using su help? [00:24] STSX, nvm, found it; one sec [00:24] zSoilworker, purged, what I assume I should reinstall flashplugin-nonfree? [00:24] clintchance, do what I told you :p [00:24] 1000 6826 0.0 0.3 32908 11312 ? S 16:17 0:00 evolution --component=mail [00:24] :P [00:24] clintchance, echo foo | sudo tee -a /file/name [00:25] Fritzel: just clean up the whole thing, and we'll go from the top [00:25] plus alarm-notify, and exchange storage, and data server [00:25] zSoilworker, one moment [00:25] quentusrex, do you want to close it so that you can start it again, is that your aim? [00:25] dpnoid: click "wireless connection", then "properties" and then under connection settings select "static address" instead of DHCP. [00:25] STSX, if I set a static address via ifconfig while network manager was trying to connect, it would work as long as the ping I started was running [00:25] STSX, as soon as I ctrl+c'd the ping, the connection would disconnect [00:26] I have closed it, and opened it again, and closed it. I'm asking why is there a new bug that won't let me 'see' evolution. [00:26] The process is running, but the window isn't open... [00:26] with a single internet connection and one router, is it possible to be connected both through wireless and ethernet for redundancy? (at same time) [00:26] STSX, just tried it, setting it statically via network manager doesn't work [00:26] Sigh ... things keep crashing on my newly installed Ubuntu 8.04. [00:26] ibleed: well yes but it confuses the kernel [00:27] thanks kitche [00:27] anyone know how to make compiz start on startup? I use fusion icon but it doesn't work [00:27] I still have to right click the icon to enable compiz [00:27] STSX, the connection stays up, but nothing gets through (doesn't even look like it's associated actually) [00:27] dpnoid: OK, you sure you also entered the correct gateway? Probably 192.168.1.1 depending on your LAN setup? [00:27] zSoilworker, ok the previous steps and flash should be purged from the system [00:27] STSX, 192.168.0.1, yes, but it's not even pinging hosts on the same subnet [00:28] Fritzel: Now install the flash plugin [00:28] STSX, for instance, I know 192.168.0.130 is up and running [00:28] hello Guys Im having problem since yesterday, when I boot in Ubuntu, It does not boot to the Ubuntu enviroment but in Terminal like fullscreen. Im trying ztrl alt f1 or f7. but It is not responding. I have to restart my computer for a number of times just to boot normally to Ubuntu environment. What can I do? [00:28] quentusrex, how are you closing it if you never see the GUI pop up? [00:28] zSoilworker, installing flashplugin-nonfree [00:28] Tex [00:28] kill -9 pid [00:28] quentusrex, okay. [00:28] hi room [00:28] dpnoid: OK, and what is ifconfig and iwconfig telling you? Can you ping the router? [00:28] hey I just installed some updates and compiz crashed how do I fix it? [00:28] harris, does 'startx' do anything for you ? [00:28] hello Guys Im having problem since yesterday, when I boot in Ubuntu, It does not boot to the Ubuntu enviroment but in Terminal like fullscreen. Im trying ctrl alt f1 or f7. but It is not responding. I have to restart my computer for a number of times just to boot normally to Ubuntu environment. What can I do? [00:29] ibleed: startx? I dont know it what it is? [00:29] zSoilworker, i missed whatever was causing that npviwer.bin error in the last pastebin, would /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin be safe to delete if the package is not installed? [00:29] STSX, (again, this is running with network manager statically configured). Can't ping the router, only localhost [00:29] i just jumped on this program, this is for ubuntu right? [00:29] harris its a command to invoke the xserver if your running in a different runlevel [00:29] ifconfig looks okay [00:29] i am trying compile the ralink driver for my card, and i get an error with make http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/120905-installation-dwl-g122-wireless-adapter.html [00:29] i think im screwed but ill ask anyway. i accidently chmod'ed all the files in the /var folder to 775. is there any way to undo or fix this? [00:30] howdy all. [00:30] Fritzel: yes [00:30] iwconfig shows it connected to the ap (right mac address, etc), not using encryption, 0 link quality, etc though [00:30] !paste [00:30] 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) [00:30] Odd-rationale, thanks for that link btw, the mounted home folder works great... had to add one step but other than that it works great [00:30] i'm having difficulty booting into my Gutsy install, there seems to be a problem with my /etc/rc.local [00:30] Fritzel: once installed http://paste.ubuntu.com/12153/ [00:31] dpnoid: Did you use ndiswrapper/madwifi or what to install your driver? [00:31] aae: good to hear that! [00:31] ibleed: okay i'll try to search in the net what it is....... I really don't know what seems to be the problem... I'ts just started yesterday. [00:31] can someone help me out? [00:31] hello Guys Im having problem since yesterday, when I boot in Ubuntu, It does not boot to the Ubuntu enviroment but in Terminal like fullscreen. Im trying ctrl alt f1 or f7. but It is not responding. I have to restart my computer for a number of times just to boot normally to Ubuntu environment. What can I do? [00:31] STSX, madwifi was the original restricted driver I tried; ndiswrapper doesn't support wpa on this card afaik [00:32] STSX, although I might try that route again (ndiswrapper) [00:32] dpnoid: So are you using madwifi now? [00:32] harris: did you install the server distribution? [00:32] STSX, yes [00:33] dpnoid: Did you blacklist any atheros drivers that came with Ubuntu before using madwifi? [00:33] Vlet: no i dont think so... [00:33] zSoilworker, ok flash succesfully cleaned up and installed verifying it is operational before continuing [00:33] STSX, such as? [00:33] STSX, ath_pci is madwifi [00:34] zSoilworker, and it is [00:34] harris It would help to know what changes you have made to the base install. Added outside repos, installed debs off the web.. changed wm or things like that.. any changes to your source list [00:34] harris: are you logged in now? try executing: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:34] Fritzel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12153/ [00:35] zSoilworker, doublecheck that pastebin, you seem to have an open quote, is it supposed to be blank or is it suppose to have something in there [00:35] * dpnoid wishes ubuntuforums would cease to exist as far as google is concerned. Does nothing but clutter up the search results with pages upon pages of chatter :( [00:35] Fritzel: i'm just lazy [00:35] Fritzel: changed that? [00:35] to aoss? to blank? ot what [00:35] Fritzel: to aoss [00:36] quick question hopefully. I am trying to install a package with apt-get, and its erroring on a package that I already installed. The package works fine, not sure why there is an error, but its blocking my new install. How do I force it to install the other package? [00:36] i was ssh'd into a gutsy box and was running: sudo apptitue update; sudo apptitude dist-upgrade; then accidentally closed the ssh window. now i see: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable); E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? (what should i do? is update still running)? [00:36] lol, I was just Stumbling across the net when I found this page with different commands you could give a unix system to generate funny errors, and wanted to try a few of them myself. I saw this one "% ar m God ar: God does not exist" and tried that one. What I found will change our history, the very foundations of the three middle east religions: "$ ar m God ar: creating God" So Ubuntu Linux created God, how about that? :D [00:36] dpnoid: Are there any atheros drivers in your /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ directory? [00:36] Fritzel: i let it open to your imagination (?) [00:36] Vlet: what's that command for re installing the ubuntu again? [00:36] STSX, hardy [00:36] zSoilworker, I'm a pain when I don't understand what I'm doing I like confirmations ^^ [00:36] !ot | filthpig [00:36] filthpig: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:36] dpnoid: OK, never mind on that. :) [00:37] ;p [00:37] Jack_Sparrow: I really don't know. I dont change anything I think when the its running normally and booting normally. [00:37] harris: I just told you: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:37] Vlet: what's that command for re installing the ubuntu again? [00:37] i need to build binutils 2.17, but it fails with a warning that makeinfo is not found. bit it is there. i'm running hardy. what could be the issue?? [00:37] arooni-mobile the update is probably NOT running if the lock cound not be enabled [00:37] I have both a firefox and firefox-3.0 directory in /etc, I changed both [00:38] Fritzel: check [00:38] Jack_Sparrow, how to fix? [00:38] STSX, heh; just got ahold of a usb wireless (zd1211); which immediately connected :) [00:38] STSX, but I can't keep it :( [00:38] zSoilworker, it's operational, one moment while I check for a hardware lock [00:38] harris@spider:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:38] [sudo] password for harris: [00:38] Reading package lists...

[00:38] ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. [00:38] harris run this.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [00:39] arooni-mobile Can you get back in and see what else is running that would tie up apt.. [00:39] Guys, I am having I/O Error, please help !! [00:39] zSoilworker, nope, flash and wine are still not coexisting [00:39] options>preferences> i/o plugins > alsa plugin | and select audio device(default) [00:39] dpnoid: I'm not familiar with Madwifi because I use ndiswrapper, but ndiswrapper requires that you blacklist any existing drivers in Ubuntu for your card so that it won't interfere with ndiswrapper. Is it similar for madwifi? Did you have to blacklist any atheros drivers? Just checking.

[01:18] thanks ubottu [01:18] Nith, in the repos for Gutsy it only has 6.3, I was trying to get the latest [01:18] Nith, Latest being 6.6 === ubuntu is now known as aarcane === [1]Popcorned is now known as Popcorned [01:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12162/plain/ [01:19] Do you have to be registered to receive an invitation to a channel?

[02:07] i receive error saying i need xp sp2 or later [02:07] kelvin911, open terminal and type winecfg [02:07] reya ps aux and kill the ssh server [02:07] actually before that press w [02:08] reya276: try using a dynamic ip address: go to firefox and type 192.168.1.1 === doncarton is now known as Pic1 [02:08] hi sudobash [02:08] kelvin911, afaik, cs3 is still fairly broken under wine; cs2 currently works best by a huge margin [02:08] hello [02:08] anyone knows about the recent updates? I'm getting prompted about "SSL-CERT", is it safe to update it ???? [02:08] mixed its fine [02:08] mixed, do you use ssh? [02:08] mixed, yes [02:08] dpnoid, no i do not use ssh [02:08] i forgot to change wine to xp wait [02:08] Does anyone know how to use pidgin and Jabber? [02:08] bazhang: my rhythmbox does not star automatically when i plug in my ipod... === ddgoose is now known as ddgoose-AFK [02:09] mixed, then read the part where it says 'if you don't know what this is, then just click yes' :p [02:09] !away > ddgoose-AFK [02:09] linuxiscool277: nothing is happening [02:09] you said you had a router right? [02:09] dpnoid, which brings my next question, how do you know whether the updates are legit or not? I just blindly click on "yes" [02:09] anyone know, how to install mozilla-plugin-vlc for firefox-2, because this plugin only works for me in firefox 3 [02:09] actually if an exploit was successful or the attacker was using root you would see root logged in when you typew [02:09] who [02:09] any known issues with core2 duo speedstepping with 8.04? [02:09] linuxiscool277, hit escape when grub comes up, and remove splash and quiet from the line, the output will give you a better idea what's going on [02:09] but firefox-3 crashes very often [02:10] linuxiscool277: reason why is because I keep my router on another local IP [02:10] mixed, as long as you don't go adding arbitary repositories by hand, every update is legit [02:10] Does anyone know how to use pidgin and Jabber? [02:10] reya are these attempts still happening now? === LeGreffi3R_ is now known as LeGreffi3R [02:10] good idea dpnoid [02:10] i've got some updates to my ssh server from the proposed repo, and now it doesn't recognize my public keys... what's going on? [02:10] come on pidgin is super easy [02:10] Wannabe: Add a new XMPP account with your screenname and use the server's address as the domain [02:10] but the comcast router page should have come up, so in a sense I have two, the main comcast router and my lynksys router [02:11] anyone running emacs-snapshot? [02:11] you mean the comcast modem [02:11] jerbear, reading the prompts is a good idea before clicking on things; is it saying that you have an unrecognized host key, or what? [02:11] dpnoid, that's the problem, for some software you have to add some repos and then I get a message about making sure the sources are trusted, how do know know if they're trusted or not? [02:11] i'm having trouble mounting a partition in Hardy that i could mount in Gutsy. it said something about the mount point, any ideas? [02:11] man my comcast MODEM is an ARRIS and it doesnt have a config page or act like a router [02:11] mixed, they're trusted if you trust them (really, that's all it means) [02:11] sudobash: don't know that is what I'm trying to find out [02:11] Starnestommy, i did that, and no luck [02:11] it has a status page and thats it [02:11] try 192.168.0.1 [02:11] dpnoid: no, i fixed that problem. it will let me login, just not using my public key [02:12] it probably doesnt have a config if it is comcast [02:12] or act like a router either [02:12] Wannabe: what happened? [02:12] Starnestommy, brb [02:12] what happens when you run ./configure ? [02:12] chanes are it is a regular broadband cable modem [02:12] dpnoid, ok well that means im going to have to come in the room every time i add a repo then, thanks for the 411 [02:12] plus the router/modems suck [02:12] My system froze in the middle of gparted and I had to reboot! Is there something I should do to minimize the damage? [02:12] mixed, better to just not get in the habit :p [02:12] Starnestommy, i get Not authroizesd [02:13] + [02:13] dpnoid, it's too late! it's addictive anyway [02:13] Wannabe: did you specify the right screenname and password? [02:13] porpoise make sure your jumpers are set right [02:13] that will cause that every time [02:13] jerbear, there was a fairly serious bug in the code debian's ssh used to generate keys, such that any key matching a blacklist needs to be replaced [02:13] Starnestommy, i belive so [02:13] unlplus drives your not working with also [02:13] and retry [02:13] unplug* [02:13] sudobash: i don't think that's it - i've used gparted successfully. But this time I got bored and tried to listen to some mp3's and probably something in the multiverse drivers buggered it up [02:13] Wannabe: are you using the part of your JID before the @ sign as the screenname? [02:13] dpnoid: ok.. any suggestions? [02:14] but now that it has happened, i'm wondering what i should do to minimize the damage [02:14] yeah gparted needs to have full cpu attention [02:14] dont try to multitask with it [02:14] -_-; [02:14] well was there data lost? [02:14] Starnestommy, Screenname: wannabe Domain: jabber.org Resource: Home [02:14] running gparted with other program is a nice idea to screw up the file system [02:14] jerbear, regenerate any public keys, clear out any authorized_keys files, and re-add the new keys [02:15] yeap [02:15] Wannabe: Did you register the account just now? [02:15] sudobash: i don't know. I can mount it and access most of my files, but gparted considers the partition unreadable [02:15] gparted is a small linux meant for one thing only [02:15] Member for [02:15] 5 weeks 2 days [02:15] I need to boot into a windows machine with a crashed hdd and recover some data, what would be the best way? PXE boot or boot from an external hdd? [02:15] MattJ, sorry for the bad paste job, the answer is no [02:15] Wannabe: That is on the website, it says on the registration page that it is not for the IM service [02:15] SHpook boot up another hd and slave your recovery one and use GETDATABACK [02:15] i have AWN and i want to add more applets to it. how do i? i found a guide on wiki.awn-project.org/ but it is unhelpful [02:16] and dont right to the disk [02:16] shpook: mount from a live cd and store to usb flashdrive? [02:16] write* [02:16] MattJ, i've sued thison IM tho... :( [02:16] Wannabe: Sorry about that confusion, you aren't the only one who got confused [02:16] Wannabe: Come to ##jabber [02:16] MattJ used this on * sorry bad typing [02:16] when I plug my flash drive in it doesnt mount [02:16] sudobash, I was wondering because i saw in a tutorial that you need to input the modes in the screen section of the total area [02:16] sudobash: This is on a laptop, so I won't actually be able to set it to slave. [02:16] actually ubuntu livecd the newest one will let you mount ntfs and recover [02:16] assuming your disk will read [02:16] dmesg references USBCORE [02:17] ;list [02:17] peanut3r: I tried, but all 3 Ubuntu cd's I burned won't boot on the laptop. [02:17] MattJ, how i get there? [02:17] shpook: might i suggest backtrack [02:17] remote-exploit.org [02:17] have you changed the bios? [02:17] to boot from cd? [02:17] Wannabe: Write here: /join ##jabber [02:17] or maybe there is a boot menu [02:17] Shpook: maybe u need to modify the boot sequence in cmos [02:17] peanut3r: backtrack? [02:17] i have AWN and i want to add more applets to it. how do i? i found a guide on wiki.awn-project.org/ but it is unhelpful [02:18] Hey, I have 2 partitions on my HD and they aren't mounted automatically... My musics are there an I must always mount then to listen music. How do I turn automatic mount? [02:18] kelvin911: It boots into the initial install screen, but never gets to the livecd desktop. [02:18] security based live cd which comes with some limited forensic tools you might find handy [02:18] what is dynamic binding ? [02:18] all 3 cds probably are fine you need to boot from one unless you tried burning a bad image 3 times [02:18] peanut3r: It's called backtrack? I'm gonna have to check that out.

[02:19] i have used ubuntu to recovery files also [02:19] Shpook: try other iso [02:19] !mount [02:19] Shpook well have you been prompted to press a key for a boot menu at all?

[02:20] ian_liu88 you will need to edit /etc/fstab [02:20] JDStone: no, but it makes pretty straight forward to install it [02:20] sudobash: Yes [02:20] shpook how much ram and what cpu?

[02:21] oh, cool, thanks [02:21] kelvin911: I booted it on my computer, but never on the laptop [02:21] check your ram bro [02:21] no, but I specifically need ffmpeg with mp3 support complied in [02:21] use the cd ram checker [02:22] sudobash: I ran that also, a couple days ago [02:22] i need help adding the trash can to Avant Window Manager [02:22] I am using cheap cd's though, I bought some higher end memorex that I'm going to try [02:22] thnx for the bot reference ian_liu88 [02:23] memorex sux [02:23] How should I edit fstab?

[02:25] TDK is what I was using [02:25] A solution to an issue with a game requires me to install esound, but when I rebooted after installing it, ubuntu would always freeze up if I tried to start anything, forcing me to reinstall hardy.

[03:02] ringer: try toronto then [03:02] kelvin911: about 4h from toronto. actually detroit mi would work [03:02] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [03:02] bite me [03:02] have you checked the manufacturer's website? [03:02] holy crap, random. i kept restarting hal. plugged in my flash drive expecting it now to do anything, and there popped up nautilus with a folder view of Documents, System and LaunchU3.exe :) [03:02] Deags, -- however, with source, a person might try to make and compile.. to get there [03:02] Gwildor, I have tried that before and it still goes to the recover and repair part [03:02] ringer: Depends what time of day you drive :) [03:03] and yes, i would blame the drivers first [03:03] hisingh1, try on the other side of the river, detroit is it ?

[03:04] kelvin911, you like metric ? change your nick [03:04] detroit++ [03:04] there could be open-source drivers out there, but those aren't always on par with the manufacturer-supported windows drivers [03:04] how can i encode videos like in Nero Vision in linux? [03:04] Pelo: i just think using F as temp is stupid [03:04] right airstrike [03:04] kelvin911: okay it says 14 c. im good. yeah i never understood why there are different units. even with money, dollars vs. pounds vs euros [03:04] where on IRC could I find someone that knows a lot about mdadm? [03:04] yoi [03:04] yo [03:05] what do i burn .DAA with in Ubuntu" [03:05] Deags, airstrike - codecs are similar [03:05] ringer: money makes sense because of different country [03:05] phiqtion, there is a very powerful tool called 'transcode'. takes a little bit of getting used to, but it can transcode any formats back and forth [03:05] phiqtion, you can get it with: sudo apt-get install transcode [03:05] ringer: but watching american news, 97 degrees? [03:05] i dont know how hot that is? [03:05] phiqtion, be sure to read the manpages thoroughly (man transcode) after installing [03:05] I have a 7GB tar of my entire disk. I only want to get /var/lib/mysql folder out of it, however when I open it it takes forever to load because it has to load the entire 7GB file. Is there an easier way to get just that folder out? [03:05] ringer: 65 degrees?? [03:05] kelvin911: its fucking melting!!!! [03:05] airstrike: i want to put the HD video of gears of war 2 onto a dvd [03:05] ringer: no they uses F [03:06] kelvin911, roughtly 37°C , [03:06] i know this is prolly been dun i just wish someone would tell me how [03:06] Pelo: what about 60?

[03:06] Pelo: dont even know i just bother find out [03:06] I hate it when shit melts [03:06] kelvin911 i know that 32c is 100f [03:06] kelvin911, I'm not that good, 96 is body temp in F , [03:06] phiqtion, oh, try one of the disc burning apps.. i wouldn't know which one to recommend though [03:06] drivetrax, yeah, but then again codecs can be a pain in windows too [03:06] ringer: no 100F is 37C [03:06] ringer: thats all i knoe [03:06] know [03:07] kelvin911: sorry, yes thats right, my bad [03:07] in anycase , this is a bit off topic [03:07] slt [03:07] later folks [03:07] testing [03:07] ringer: does the trash can icon work for u? [03:07] phiqtion, try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-cinelerra-in-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon.html#%7CLinux [03:07] phiqtion, if none of your current apps will do the trick, that one should [03:07] ringer: i mean trash applet [03:08] airstrike: thx [03:08] tonyyarusso: [03:08] tonyyarusso: I got this tar:/home/sean/Downloads/Internet/frameworks-0.3.7.tar.gz/frameworks-0.3.7 [03:08] damn [03:08] Deags, - well.. I got Mplayer, I got all the gstreamer packages, and I went and loaded an AVI file.. it played a while, then dropped out. As for Non-Linear editors, Kino , for me, is too complicated to make/compile/install, or whatever.. so I go looking for all the editors.. mencoder, ffmpeg, etc.. even odd ball ones, and get back to cinellera.. whatever that is.. [03:08] kelvin911: well it shows up. but there is no trash inside, when really there are 11 items [03:08] tonyyarusso: sec pastebin [03:08] ringer: becasue stupid hardy changes everything [03:08] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ubuntu_8.04.png that's butt-ugly [03:08] no icons anywhere? even in the panel at the top? [03:08] kelvin911: but i can click it and 'wallah' there are my 11 items [03:09] ringer: the light weight trash applet works but the icon wont change to full [03:09] CTho: that's just the background image.. [03:09] is that uploaded by microsoft as a smear campaign, or does someone think their customized setup actually looks nice? [03:09] tonyyarusso: ./configure got me to here: http://pastebin.com/m21ecfbff [03:09] tonyyarusso: the background is fine. i'm complaining about the panel [03:09] tonyyarusso: where's the canonical / ubuntu icon that should be next to applications? [03:09] kelvin911: so it always stays empty no matter what? [03:09] CTho: there are icons. [03:09] ringer: because hardy changes the trash from .Trash to somewhere else [03:09] why does it say "tux" in the top? [03:10] CTho: don't know where that image is from. [03:10] ringer: yes always empty i mean the icon [03:10] ringer: its kinda suck [03:10] CTho: I think the "tux" part is the fast user switcher applet. [03:10] ringer: so i add the trash in gnome panel anyway [03:10] tonyyarusso: i think someone should replace that screenshot with one that actually looks friendly [03:10] CTho: so do it [03:10] i'm still on 7.10 [03:10] and my desktop is a mess [03:10] psyco: check the readme [03:10] kelvin911: yeah, i have both now. ill keep it this way i think. how many lauchers/applets do you have in total? [03:11] tonyyarusso: ok [03:11] ringer: 4 [03:11] does anyone happen to know why dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt give any display options, only keyboard? [03:11] ringer: i have the show desktop, weather, calender, and trash [03:11] When my pc is connected to my LAN it slows everyone else's internet connection to nearly nothing, but does not affect my computer. Any ideas?\ [03:11] tonyyarusso: http://ubuntu.sabza.org/wp-content/ubuntu-hardy-heron-1.png is much nicer, for example. [03:11] ringer: 29 :) [03:11] where do you keep your firefox and pidgin lol [03:11] CTho: why are you telling me? [03:12] 29? [03:12] why do u need so many? [03:12] tonyyarusso: because you replied [03:12] and didn't seem to see why i thought that particular image was bad [03:12] anyone know if it's possible to get 3D acceleration running on an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m in Ubuntu 8.04? [03:12] kelvin911: saves time digging if I can just put them around the perimeter. [03:12] tonyyarusso: README had nothing of use [03:12] CTho: If I had to speculate, I'd guess that the ubuntu and firefox icons have been removed from that screenshot because they are trademarks and the goal was to have a clearly unencumbered image. [03:13] Hammer89: Not likely. If it is, you'll need to use Xgl and fglrx rather than free drivers and aiglx, but even then don't count on it. [03:13] Does anybody know why "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" might _fail_? [03:13] psyco: :( oh well [03:13] yeah 29 is lots haha [03:13] jepler: i see. that didn't cause the Windows screenshots to look ugly though ;) [03:13] alright [03:13] tonyyarusso: alrighty... already running on fglrx [03:13] im using a hadrdy heron live cd to format the hard drive, anyone know why the partition editor will not load? [03:13] kelvin911: what icon set are you using [03:14] lol no idea [03:14] ringer: wait [03:15] CTho: this is much nice look http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshothw9.png [03:15] where do i find other channels? [03:16] ringer: i am using ClearlooksOSX_icons_3.0 [03:16] kelvin911: well, it's not really what the OS looks like out of the box [03:16] cjournell09, look in your clients channel list. and search for Ubuntu. [03:16] kelvin911: boooooring lol [03:16] CTho: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ubuntu_8.04.png#filehistory [03:16] cjournell09: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat [03:16] kelvin911, I don't think that this is the best channel for this sort of thing, you might want to try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:16] jepler: ah. wikidorks. [03:17] kelvin911: jk lol i usually like the light clean stuff. but lately liking the dark [03:17] ringer: any good suggestion? [03:17] Deags, - reading about Mplayer, seems back in 2006 there was a Linux ppc package for it [03:17] ringer: i am tired of the dark stuffs [03:17] ringer: my previous theme is dark === xanaxfoo is now known as slackd00d [03:18] need help with ubuntu it is very slow [03:18] /msg ubottu etiquette [03:18] the alien is on my desktop.. [03:18] kelvin911, #ubuntu is a support channel. I think that talking about screen shots or how you want to decorate it might be more for a socializing channel. [03:18] i am completely new at ubuntu...anything you guys that are experienced have any cool stuff you'd like to share? [03:18] cjournell09, try #ubuntu-offtopic for that. [03:19] Having some problems with suspending/idling. After a while of going idle the screen turns black and freezes up. Ctrl+alt+backspace seems to work, sometimes. [03:19] kelvin911: well im using black-white 2 neon found on deviant art. and i was using on 7.10 Glass icons http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Icons+Theme?content=32146 [03:20] ! bluetooth [03:20] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [03:20] ssh-vulnkey is showing that my client key is compromised... regenerating it does not change this... what do i do?

[03:21] how can i reset my nautilis preferences ? [03:21] Hello all [03:21] *nautilus* [03:21] i need the DE its importanat [03:21] hiya [03:21] I am back [03:21] It got it to run [03:22] Gwildor, I have tried that before and it still goes to the recover and repair part [03:22] it?

[03:22] Is there a firewall in ubuntu already? when im d/l the wow updates it says im behind a firewall but i cant seem to find one any help? [03:22] ringer: polar look too light [03:22] etheredge, yes there is a firewall in Ubuntu already. [03:22] ringer: taking a dump brb [03:22] emma: i am not able to select my default media player. its greyed out [03:22] kelvin911 lol take your time [03:23] emma, how can i disable it?

[03:23] I just installed 8.04 for the second time( the first time X locked up when using the compiz cube and the system corrupted so I guess no pretties for me ) but I was wondering what are some of the must have programs to help me get started. I'm kinda like ok what do I do now that it works [03:23] ssh-vulnkey is showing that my client key is compromised... regenerating it does not change this... what do i do? [03:24] Frogzoo, yes i do dlink [03:24] etheredge, I'm not too familiar with the default firewall. You might try installing firestarter and using that to adjust your settings. Firestarter is a GUI for iptables. [03:24] Frogzoo, are ya sayin its in the router? [03:24] kevin_openworld, your windows OS does not see ext partitions, if you dual boot .. each is it's own OS [03:24] etheredge: you need to forward the bit torrent ports to the pc [03:24] good to know [03:24] hey.. I'm trying to get x11vnc working over to a xp box .. however, for some reason I keep getting "connection closed" any ideas [03:24] also why do i get a fliker [03:25] ssh-vulnkey is showing that my client key is compromised... regenerating it does not change this... what do i do?

[03:25] jerbear: did you upgrade ssh? [03:25] can you give me the command for updating the kernel and where do i get an older version of the gnome or kde desktop [03:25] What is your default media player? [03:25] jrib: yes [03:26] arbir, you mean that you want to change the media player that a certain file is opened with? [03:26] This is a little nice os [03:26] kevin_openworld, - and with vista..possibly XPsp2, run linux under windows [03:26] jerbear: pastebin what you are seeing [03:26] emma: i installed Rhythmbox, bit never showed up in my start menu [03:26] emma: now when i goto Edit - >Preferences - > Media [03:26] I will keep windows and ubtunu by their selfs [03:26] anyoneee? [03:26] emma: mh option to set a media player is gyered out [03:26] arbir, RythmBox should already be in your applications menu. [03:26] hey.. I'm trying to get x11vnc working over to a xp box .. however, for some reason I keep getting "connection closed" any ideas [03:26] I do php and websites with mysql and things [03:27] Is their any good tools for Ubutnu to do this [03:27] can you give me the command for updating the kernel [03:27] does ubuntu not support s-video [03:27] emma: no... i am teling you.. i took out rhythmbox and then re-installed and then it was gone [03:27] yep [03:27] arbir, go to Applications --> Sound&Video [03:27] emma: :-) i added it manually there now [03:27] Anyone know why ubuntu is freezing after long idle times? [03:27] emma: you can give me geek talk.. i understand :-) i am not a beginner.. [03:27] jrib: running ssh-vulnkey is showing that my client key is compromised (~/.ssh/id_rsa)... there is nothing to paste [03:28] monestri_, what type of disk drive, it is not USB is it? [03:28] arbir, so do you want a certain type of file to be opened by RhythmBox by default? [03:28] monestri_: check ur power settings [03:28] emma: here let me explain [03:28] arbir, the trouble is, I am a beginner, I'm just doing my best :) [03:28] god bless LINUX [03:28] jerbear: verify you actually have a new key when you run ssh-keygen [03:28] hello guys ...i'm having a problem on upgrading my gutsy toy hardy... [03:28] emma: open ur Nautilius then Edit - > Preferences - > Media [03:28] jerbear: brb [03:28] Do you prefer to have a larger or a smaller font in terminal? [03:28] emma: do you see a default media player setting in that dropdown ? [03:28] was liunx made to look like macs? [03:28] Do you like to maximize window space or do you require readability? [03:28] what files should i pastebin to you in order to help me? [03:28] In particular, which font and which size do you use? [03:28] whats the command for ubdating linux [03:28] what is the difference between installing Kubuntu-desktop, kde, kde-core and kubuntu-default-settings in Ubuntu? [03:29] monestri_: .. what do you mean freezing? [03:29] might be someone attacking ur box [03:29] does pulse have an independant volume control? [03:29] um, blue or black screen. [03:29] i thought it might be a screensaver [03:29] what is the difference between installing Kubuntu-desktop, kde, kde-core and kubuntu-default-settings in Ubuntu?

Read the link from ubottu [04:21] may be cd, try downloading again? [04:21] and use passwd [04:21] what is GART memory? [04:21] !noroot | monestri_ [04:21] monestri_: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:22] sls wine [04:22] alien984, Thats because its to stop anyone looking over your shoulder when you type it in. [04:22] ooh yes , how can i do that [04:22] sls: try wine [04:22] hisingh1_: cd check came out ok [04:22] well, they can do it at their own risk === doncarton is now known as Pic3 [04:22] riskha [04:22] but i can try redownloading [04:22] Philh-> if the FS you are mounting is not owned by the user, the user usually cannot mount it, therefore root has to mount it for the user [04:22] Philh... i used to be a regular over in irc.debian.net #debian... and there are alot less folks int here but much more attentive..... left debian distro for Ubuntu... havent gotten help in this room not once. [04:22] monestri_: of course [04:22] sudo wis easy enough to break ubuntu with anyway :D [04:22] cd check always says ok, i know cuz i have done it on a runed disc [04:22] how can i get my root password [04:22] kevin911, yeah -- I was hoping for a native client and not having to resort to windows programs again.. [04:22] the disk may have scratches [04:23] alien984: read the link ubottu gave you please, it explains everything to you [04:23] tj83: try #linux [04:23] ahh, interesting. maybe i can try downloading the alternate cd too [04:23] !gart [04:23] Factoid gart not found [04:23] tj83: or even #windows [04:23] tj83-> perhaps you are much more knowledgeable than most of us here, so we are not able to assist..possible? [04:23] tj83: sometimes people there are more friendly [04:23] wich link please? [04:23] Addaone: what version of hard r u using [04:24] Addaone: beta? [04:24] kelvin911... so funny....i killed my win partition for a reason. [04:24] alien984: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:24] LTS, the amd64 version [04:24] tj83: for what reason? [04:24] thanks later all [04:24] my notebook came with vista... stinks... [04:24] Damn, why does this not work x.x [04:24] tj83: u can dual boot, no problem [04:25] !cairo [04:25] Factoid cairo not found [04:25] Addaone: sorry, i am running intel, may be thats why my cd check might not work [04:25] !screenlets [04:25] and I am tired of MS reaching into everyones pockets. [04:25] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [04:25] i was dualbooting [04:25] tj83: keep vista or xp for gaming, that's essential [04:25] untill i realized i never booted windows [04:25] Addaone: what are u running right now?\ [04:25] on the contrary [04:25] people reach into their own pockets [04:25] * slyboots jabs his wireless card with a ICEpick [04:25] tj83: u will somedays [04:25] games are for children [04:25] and give microsoft* money [04:25] * j3ro87 yawns [04:25] hisingh1: right now i'm on vista [04:25] Addaone: i recomend, installing windows and the wubi [04:25] tj83: i never pay a penny to ms [04:26] Addaone: Then get wubi [04:26] that makes you worst of all kelvin... linux if free for a reason [04:26] hisingh1_: is wubi that good? [04:26] basicly lets you do a nice install [04:26] morally [04:26] tj83: i also run private under ubuntu [04:26] yes, and no... depends on how hardcore of a linux user you are [04:26] hisingh1: i considered that...is it safe or is there the underlying threat of my entire windows drive being hosed? === kompi02 is now known as sandhi [04:27] Room... i apologize for getting off-topic... [04:27] Addaone, it is very safe, you can install into a different partition within windows [04:27] Addaone: it is safe, try it on a small partition (maybe 4-8 gigs [04:28] why u want to install ubuntu with wubi? [04:28] ok, it's worth a shot, thanks [04:28] just make some free space and install ubuntu [04:28] kelvin911: why not [04:28] kelvin911: why not [04:28] hisingh1_: why yes? [04:28] anyone know a dopewars game in linux [04:28] kelvin911, most windows users are afraid to make a free space and install, and that's why wubi was born [04:29] i guess if they are afraid then just run the liveCD [04:29] or stay with windows [04:29] messing with windows isnt good idea [04:29] skha [04:30] Does anyone else have issues copying folders via gvfs / ftp? [04:30] kelvin911, installing with wubi != messing with windows [04:30] kelvin911: cuz its safe (you can recover easily), latest version (hardy) intriped in alpha so ya, and best of all, you can do all that you need to do without screwing up ur whole computer [04:30] I can copy files fine, but if i try a folder, if fails with file unavailable [04:30] whats with all the windows talk in here? maybe kelvin911 should heed his own advice on #windows [04:30] lol [04:30] heh [04:30] I've seen other users with the same issue as well [04:30] tj83: we r talking wubi not windows [04:30] ohhh i smell windows hatred!! [04:31] windows isnt that bad [04:31] depends which windows we're talking about [04:31] can someone help me? i'm trying to configure a dial-up connection for my ubuntu laptop (i live in the sticks) what does it mean by "enter your DNS address" ? [04:31] you know, i really can't remember how to check if the drive in my system is a DVD burner or not. which file in /proc do i read to get this information [04:31] windows NT [04:31] well, vista... not my definition of "wow" [04:31] <--- actually agrees with kelvin911.... the software isnt that bad....... its the moral point behind it [04:31] tawd, does your ISP provide you with a DNS? [04:31] tj83: who cares moral? [04:32] techno_freak, no [04:32] tawd, else use 4.2.2.2 [04:32] tj83: as long as it works [04:32] Compiz fusion from git (i mean with freewins, atlantis 2 ... cube addons) that is WOW [04:32] i like to think some of us do [04:32] techno_freak, thanks [04:32] so, i'm trying to shrink my windows partition, it has about 16GiB of unused space, and i'm trying to shrink 10 gigs off the right side in order to install ubuntu there...yet every time i try to shrink it i get an error: "ERROR: Extended record needed (1032 > 1024), not yet supported! [04:32] Please try to free less space." How would I go about fixing that, any ideas? [04:32] hey i just got my internet working in hardy whats a way to get audio and video codecs installed [04:33] taggartbg42, did you defragment your partition? [04:33] taggartbg42: partiton magic [04:33] http://cootwars.sourceforge.net/ [04:33] what software ru talking about...tj83 with all the incompatabilities with visat i dont know [04:33] oh, excellent; i found the info in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info [04:33] taggartbg42: run cclean [04:33] + vist a= mem hog [04:33] taggartbg42: defrag hd [04:33] taggartbg42: then run partition magic [04:33] now, what is the name of a good CLI burning program again? [04:33] Vratha, cdrecord [04:33] if i install kubuntu-desktop, does it to ANYTHING to my gnome at all? [04:33] techno_freak: ah, that's the one; thanks :-D [04:33] kelvin: ok, awesome, so what exactly is the defrag command in linux? [04:34] vista sucks its ture [04:34] true [04:34] hisingh1... ya vista is still very buggy.... as was XP in its first days... i just dump microsoft completely [04:34] jester7, it might change the splash screen to kubuntu one [04:34] jester7: yes, it'll add a bunch of kde apps to your menus === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress [04:34] there is no defrag command in linux [04:34] it is awsome that way [04:34] alright now, before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired [04:34] oh, so just pop into windows and defrag? [04:34] taggartbg42: no need to defrag [04:34] hisingh1_: i think there is defrag in linux [04:34] that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1 [04:34] taggartbg42, there is no ext3 defrag [04:34] no need to defrag [04:34] hisingh1_: but no one uses it [04:34] taggartbg42, use your Windows defragment tool [04:34] fiyawerkin: it's NTFS [04:34] techno_freak: tritium: if i uninstall will it go back to normal? [04:35] i agree microsoft sucks if you dont have the hardware [04:35] everything was going fine [04:35] and what exactly is cclean? [04:35] jester7: it should, yes [04:35] jester7, you can change the splash screen to ubuntu back again [04:35] taggartbg42, ah sorry [04:35] but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" [04:35] does screenlets run under HARDY? [04:35] try running vista with 1 gig ram [04:35] in the middle of installing all the dkpks [04:35] !ubuntu [04:35] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [04:35] !ide [04:35] jester7, its just a couple of commands job [04:35] Factoid ide not found [04:35] anyone know a good widget to show me sys temp in Gnome? [04:35] ext4 includes defrag utility i believe [04:35] what is Ubuntu's equivalent for chkconfig ? [04:35] Please remember that MS bashing is offtopic. [04:35] anyone use anything other than hostapd to turn their Atheros-based system into an AP? [04:35] kelvin911: there is no need then [04:35] someone shows me actually if u have more than 4 GB ram and with killer machine, vista runs faster then XP with same hardware [04:35] I'm sick of running of commanline script to grep it from proc [04:35] taggartbg42..... sorry... xp or vista? vista can shrink a partition in computer management.... [04:35] fffffffffffff, i should probably wait for this chat to die down [04:35] techno_freak: thanks. i just wanted to make sure it didn't go f'ing with my settings where i'd have to fight to get gnome going again [04:35] tj83: xp :-\ [04:35] And my stupid dell 5150 runs SO hot [04:36] kelvin911: how was the deuce? [04:36] anyone else have problems or even try to copy folders via ftp on the new gvfs? [04:36] vista fater than xp? [04:36] jester7, sure you won't what you have will remain untouched, you will just get extra things [04:36] ringer: the deuce is hard solid [04:36] !kernel [04:36] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [04:36] does screenlets run under HARDY? [04:36] phiqtion, yes [04:36] so, two questions really quickly, what exactly is cclean, and why is partition magic better than GParted? [04:36] kelvin911: To get 4 gig plus you need vista ultimate (the biggest mem hog of them all + the ammnt of harddrive space it takes) [04:36] monestri_: yes if u have more than 4GB ram and newest hardware [04:36] ya there is a way , unsure how in linux... but best to do as already said.. defrag in windows and then you can let Ubuntu install shrink it. [04:37] fiyawerkin: what package? [04:37] errpast: i have 5150 too [04:37] kelvin911: lol good to hear. got a QQ for ya. in ff3 you know how when you start typing a url it comes up with suggestions, how do i stop that [04:37] Hi all [04:37] taggartbg42, partition magic is better than gparted? [04:37] errpast: u need to clean the cpu fan like every 2 weeks [04:37] so can anyone tell me why ubuntu hangs after idling for 10+ minutes? [04:37] kelvin911, it makes me crazy. I have cleaned it up. [04:37] techno_freak: people were saying to use partition magic earlier [04:37] thought that 2.6.24-17 was just released.. yea? I'm still using ..16 and I've got the sources enabled in Synaptic.. any ideas? [04:37] ringer: i dont use ff [04:37] and if there's a solution for laptop hibernation/suspend problems. [04:37] phiqtion, i screenlets - Widget-like mini-applications for GNOME [04:37] taggartbg42, they are equally good, i have used both [04:37] kelvin911: opera? [04:37] gentoo or ubuntu, what ya'll think ? [04:37] ringer: opera is the best browser [04:37] the ubuntu install will shrink it for you "using gparted" [04:37] gparted = best partition editor [04:38] ubuntu imo [04:38] ringer, just ask it not to remember urls ie history=0 [04:38] kelvin911, it's really weird. Sometimes it runs cool Sometimes really hot. It doesn't correlate to obvious things. I've tried external fans, different fenting. right now, I have removed the keyboard and flashing, and use usb keyboard [04:38] ok, so, pop into XP, defrag, run this cclean (still not sure what that is) then GParted should be able to shrink the partition? [04:38] kelvin911: opinion [04:38] anyone reed A tale of 2 cities?? [04:38] errpast: u just need to take out the keyboard and blow the dust out every month at least [04:38] I need help. Does anyone have experience running utorrent on ubuntu? [04:38] hisingh1_, am afraid you are going to get an offtopic warning :P [04:39] since the latest security issue regarding openssl i am really disappointed about debian/ubuntu package maintaining :( [04:39] kelvin911, I've got keyboard open. It's not too dusty. But I've never used forced air. I should do that. It really doesn't look too dirty [04:39] walkman79, apt-get install wine [04:39] ok [04:39] hi, can anyone tell me where ff3-beta 5 's plugins are stored in ubuntu? [04:39] Can anyone help with a Firefox question ? I am running firefox 3 on Ubuntu. How do I force it to launch the Quicktime Player plugin instead of Totem ? [04:39] taggartbg42.... all you have to do is defrag from xp put the unbuntu cd in load it and allow the install app to shrink it for you. [04:39] errpast: try to uses something to make your desktop not contacting the table [04:39] I have the ..17 installed via Synaptic.. but uname -a is returning .16... how do I change this? [04:39] tenX, it happens now and then when you are in a huge community [04:39] kelvin911, I think there is an issue with the heat sink and sink grease. Anyway, I've got a hp nc6400 on order. [04:39] hisingh1_: you already know that gparted boot disk? its awesome [04:39] errpast: make more rooms at the bottom of the laptop that helps a lot [04:39] CaptainMorgan, you booted in with the 16 kernel? [04:39] CaptainMorgan: you have to reboot to use a new kernel [04:39] kelvin911, ya, I've got about a 2 inch clearance, WITH an external fan running. [04:40] tj83: awesome, thanks, i'm off [04:40] tenX: too true [04:40] kelvin911: watching videos is crap in opera for me [04:40] * emma *smiles* [04:40] techno_freak: well i think its not that simple to explain. the maintainers got into areas of code they should never have messed with [04:40] see ya. taggartbg42 [04:40] @walkman: I heard utorrent runs well under wine [04:40] ringer: what video? [04:40] GUY WITH FIREFOX problem [04:40] Hi [04:40] How can I rewrite "RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site2.com/~userftp/kv/$1 [P,L]" to mirror the content, (not change url/location bar) [04:40] :) [04:40] ringer: try 9.5 beta [04:40] kelvin911, it's nice and cool now. go figure. With exact same setup a few hours ago, I was at 70C. Now it is 38C. Room temp is maybe 1 or 2 cooler [04:40] kelvin911 any on youtube [04:40] ringer: 9.27 + linux + flash = crappy [04:40] kelvin911, anyway, I cna live with it. [04:40] tritium, I've rebooted many times... they're both installed.. according to synaptic... techno_freak [04:40] kelvin911, do you run a widget that shows temp? [04:41] pidgin freezing [04:41] maybe not.. I'll try it [04:41] Can anyone help with problems involving hibernation/suspend/idling for long periods of time. Symptoms include freezing/hanging, missing mouse pointers. Running 8.04 on a laptop 32bit. [04:41] hey anyone here have experience with openswan and webmin [04:41] CaptainMorgan, when you reboot does it show up in the boot menu list? [04:41] ringer: 9.5beta + newest flash on linux = good [04:41] <_kavOOr_> hi, can anyone like me to the tutorial that teaches how to boot the ubuntu iso from usb ? [04:41] jeez, does this channel ever have a moment of silence? [04:41] yotux, I've had Pidgin problems over the past 6 months. [04:41] <---loves Gkrellm for temps [04:41] Sazpaimon: no [04:41] im trying to learn how to create a l2tp vpn [04:41] errpast: u mean on 5150? [04:41] I can tell [04:41] superdood, I have utorrent running but some of my torrents get this error : "too many files". I've read something about changing the limit with ulimit -n [04:41] techno_freak, it didn't.. but I just checked my uptime and I may have forgotten to reboot.. brb [04:41] hisingh1_: how can distribution related changes mess with a libraries random number generator?? that is f* up [04:41] Sazpaimon, check back after some 4/5 hours from now :P [04:41] kelvin911, yes, I have Dell 5150 [04:41] I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu, is there a good list somewhere that I could consult as far as standard things I want to install? So far I have Xchat, build-essential, and msttcorefonts, but I don't remember the package for things like mp3 playback, and the latest flash, and so on [04:41] errpast: i didnt install ubuntu on my 5150 [04:41] anyone know how to use an older version of a driver? namely the nvidia driver [04:41] errpast: i run xp on it [04:41] I'll just give out my issue again now [04:41] kelvin911, oh. I see. [04:41] errpast -- using xubuntu and trying to figure out where the problem was [04:41] tenX: it didn't. It messed with the *seeding* of it [04:42] errpast: and i install the temp control for 5150 [04:42] Marfi, download the driver, and install it [04:42] wow, I can't read anything [04:42] if i install ubuntu...will that mean that i get rid of my Windows OS for good...or is there some way that i can access it too? [04:42] URGENT: in 8.04 how do i uninstall firefox [04:42] cjournell09, you could dual boot [04:42] cjournell09_: you can dual boot [04:42] yotux, sorry I can't offer anything but moral support there. I just bailed out of pidgin. [04:42] errpast: i constantly moniter the temp of 5150, because if it gets too hot, the computer is slow [04:42] sazpaimon... been asking on my issue for days... no takers yet [04:42] kelvin911 i am using 9.50 beta2 [04:42] !dualboot | cjournell09 [04:42] cjournell09: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:42] sudo apt-get remove firefox? [04:42] linuxiscool277, sudo apt-get remove firefox [04:42] tritium: and _that_ is distro specific?? [04:42] errpast -- thanz [04:42] kelvin911, how hot is hot? I've seen it at 72C [04:42] dmsuperman, tried. had to wipe the whole thing twice. =) [04:42] linxiscool277 system=administration-synaptic package manager [04:42] tenX: yes, it was specific to debian scripts that affected the seeding [04:42] errpast: 70 or above is hot [04:43] dmsuperman: how do you dual boot? [04:43] is that a good idea? [04:43] tj83, welcome to freenode! :P [04:43] tenX, ubuntu gets it from upstream debian and when debian had problem ubuntu might get it too [04:43] cjournell09, if you want to keep windows, yes [04:43] anyway [04:43] before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpks [04:43] ya... i liked the old OFTC better [04:43] errpast: computer starts to lag or slow down once u get over 70 [04:43] kelvin911, ya. the fan screams at that temp. I've no idea now why I'm down at 38 degrees. Same apps. Same room temp. Just weird [04:43] cjournell09, read the above message by ubotu [04:43] Hey man.. I clicked a link to a panorama picture, and the Mozilla I use says install Quicktime.. Okay, I clicked through, and it took me to Apple for QuickTime 7 [04:43] tritium: in that case adjusting the scripts instead of fooling around somewhere you shouldnt should be the choice [04:43] when I type ulimit -n 4096 I get this : "bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted" [04:43] now, when I reoot, it gives me some issue with finding the root device, and then dumps me to a command prompt [04:43] i'm out people... good night good day good morning whatever. [04:43] obviously i messed something up [04:43] kelvin911, ya, and the two copper heat sinks are very hot to touch at that temp [04:43] tenX: hence the fix [04:43] techno_freak: i am aware of the debian/ubuntu relation [04:44] @walkman79: changing the limit with ulimit -n should do the trick. The problem you had is apparently going to be fixed in utorrent 1.8 [04:44] now, I'll be able to mount the drive and such in another OS, even windows [04:44] tritium: hence? can you explain me that word? [04:44] kelvin911, the fan noise really irks me. That's my personal problem, but chaning fan speeds make me nuts [04:44] can I install the Apple version of QuickTime 7 on ubuntu? [04:44] Can anyone help with problems involving hibernation/suspend/idling for long periods of time. Symptoms include freezing/hanging, missing mouse pointers. Running 8.04 on a laptop 32bit. [04:44] is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? [04:44] Hi [04:44] Any idea why/if recent updates hosed my NFS shares? [04:44] kelvin911, I can stand steady white noise, but not intermittent and unpredictable [04:44] errpast: what softwares were u running to get to 70 degrees? [04:44] now time to format that all into 1 line and ask it again later... [04:44] I do not see a Linux version At apple, for QuickTime [04:44] kelvin911, FF, skype, and gvim [04:44] ubottu: thank you for the links...sorry i didnt notice before [04:44] cjournell09_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:44] tritium: i'll look it up quickly w8 [04:45] kelvin911, If I go to FF, and refresh tabs 20 times, I will increase CPU by 20 degrees [04:45] techno_freak, tritium I just rebooted... menu.lst still only shows -16... yet synaptic shows that both -16 and -17 are installed as well as uname -a shows only -16... any ideas ? [04:45] hey [04:45] drivetrax, you have to try with other players, there are plugins to play quicktime movie in them [04:45] tenX: please stay on topic. This is not a grammar channel. [04:45] techi602, why??? [04:45] errpast: maybe your fan isnt spinning? [04:45] CaptainMorgan, what packages are installed for 17 in synaptic? [04:45] er, techno_freak ? [04:45] drivetrax search synaptic package manager for quicktime, i forget the package name sorry, you may need to enable medibuntu as well (google that) [04:45] CaptainMorgan: which -17 packages specifically are installed?

It seems about 3 fan speeds. You could be onto something. Maybe I need to get to the higher speed quicker [04:46] 22:43 < Sazpaimon> obviously i messed something up [04:46] wat [04:47] maybe [04:47] kelvin911, ya, it has different speeds. seems to switch L, M and H at 55, 60, 65 degrees [04:47] oops... didn't mean to say "maybe" [04:47] tenX: excuse you? [04:47] I dunno.. but, seems to me.. others would benefit by making their software run on Linux as well as Windows [04:47] alrtight let me try that again [04:47] Maybe I need High sooner. I've no idea how I would change that. I suspect it's a bios function [04:47] before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpkgs. now, when I reoot, it gives me some issue with finding the r [04:47] oot device, and then dumps me to a command prompt, is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? [04:47] techno_freak, tritium the exact same as 16... linux-headers-2.6.24-16 and -generic, linux-headers-2.6.24-17 and -generic, as well as linux-headers-generic [04:47] errpast: set them lower [04:48] CaptainMorgan: those are only header packages. No linux-image package? [04:48] kelvin911, in bios? [04:48] CaptainMorgan, only the linux-headers ? [04:48] hi [04:48] kelvin911, interesting idea. [04:48] basically, booting a livecd, unmounting /, then mounting the /dev/hda1 as / [04:48] magyarok vagytok? [04:48] then running apt-get blah blah blah [04:48] errpast: set L 50 M 55 H 60 [04:48] will THAT work? [04:48] kelvin911, let me google fan speed, 5150 and ubuntu [04:48] kelvin911, brb [04:48] tritium: you do not seem to be aware of the dimension of that security hole. i dont know if you're only responsible of your own little system [04:48] out of morbid curiosity [04:48] errpast: my 5150 screen is blackout broken so i cant install ubuntu [04:48] CaptainMorgan, no linux-image package?

[04:49] tritium: i was simply asking politely for translation its unkind to dis me on that [04:49] Im new to kde environment, is it easy to install drivers for graphics cards so they'll work? [04:49] is it possible to get help with hibernation/suspend problems with ubuntu on laptops?

[04:49] Who asked about installing Ubuntu from a USB? [04:49] tenX: it was no dis. It was a reminder to stay on topic. [04:49] Hey, guys. I was wondering if someone could help me out with a partition issue really quick. I've formatted my old windows partition to add space to my fairly small Linux part... I really don't need to merge the two partitions, it would be nice but not needed. However, when I go to copy anything into the new partition, it says that I don't have permission to do so. I formatted the new partition in ext3 (not sure why, i remember hea [04:49] sup [04:49] i m bak [04:50] hey, is there a way to change screensaver preferences like, say, number of fish in Atlantis through gnome-screensaver?

[04:50] I installed Ubuntu using a usb cdrom worked fine [04:50] tritium: and that indeed is a dis regarding the circumstances [04:50] If anyone can help me with a icon question please pm me. [04:50] fish in atlantis.. screensaver.. man, this is Ubuntu help.. [04:50] Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a new way of opening ports? [04:50] sigh, too many people to get help here [04:50] tritium: sounds like i was talking off topic nonsense [04:50] cycom: does your screen saver actuall display the fish?? How did you do that [04:50] tenX: no, it's not. The channel is too busy for offtopic like that. Please drop the subject. [04:50] CaptainMorgan, run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, if a kernel update is found it should install it [04:50] tritium, techno_freak I'm using 64-bit arch... do I need linux-image-amd64 too ? [04:51] tritium: whatever... [04:51] monestri_ the ubuntuforums.org is often a good place to look as well [04:51] hisingh1_: well, ok, sharks and dolphins [04:51] hisingh1_: not really fish [04:51] don't get me started on the forums [04:51] the search feature is terrible [04:51] Hello. I tried connect to the Internet using wireless, but the Internet was not working. I have advent 7204 and Ubuntu 8.04 [04:51] can someone help me? i ran wvdialconf to determine my modem, but it said "Sorry, no modem was detected!" I know i can connect on my windows partition. [04:51] easier to search for what your looking for in google and + ubuntu forums [04:51] monestri_ the forums are very useful for troubleshooting ... I've solved many problems there [04:51] EdijusXP: the internet is not working? uah thats shocking [04:51] cycom: to add sharks and dolphins go to ccsm [04:51] tawd_: is is winmodem?

[04:52] I've been having hibernation/suspend problems since fiesty and have never found a working solution there [04:52] ringer: maybe u can turn off autocomplete? [04:52] monestri_, start your google search word with ubuntuforums, it will be more useful [04:52] LOL [04:52] cycom: then go to the atlantic 2 icon and [04:52] ;) [04:52] EdijusXP what? [04:52] ringer: i dont know [04:52] hisingh1_: screensaver, not the desktop cube junk [04:52] tenX: yes. Ubuntu shows I'm connected, but i cant use the internet. it asks and asks for password.

[04:52] monestri_ sorry didn't know it wasn't working out, I have had great results myself, google a term followed with ubuntu, say for instance: nvidia ubuntu that will often times bring up forum results, you can do advanced google searches and tell it to return only ubuntuforum.org results as well if you prefer a different search engine [04:52] Okay.. Uh, I got kismet working.. sort of x.x [04:52] If someone can help me out with a simple icon question please pm me. [04:52] techno_freak, yes [04:53] It runs for about 6 seconds befre the system locks up with a kernel panic [04:53] Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a new firewall app that would allow me to open a port? [04:53] CaptainMorgan, then you need amd64 version for 17 [04:53] cycom: you need the desktop cube junk to do it [04:53] ...No one cares to help me? :( [04:53] Ediferious, what's your problem? [04:53] Ypu just need to wait. [04:53] You* [04:53] monestri_ whats yoru question? I'll help if I can, it is busy here tonight for sure [04:53] techno_freak, that doesn't explain why it's not found using apt-get...... ? [04:53] hisingh1_: no, you don't. [04:53] "Answer me this (I've already perused the forums and not found anything successful) How do I get VLC to ignore region codes in 8.04" [04:54] Ediferious: your intro was inappropriate. [04:54] Fine. [04:54] hisingh1_: Atlantis is also a standard screensaver. I can use the XScreensaver package to do it, but it doesn't work as nicely as the gnome stuff. [04:54] Basically in previous versions I couldn't suspend without rewaking back to a a screen with a missing mouse. [04:54] I'm sorry for humor. [04:54] CaptainMorgan, having an upgrade for i386 doesn't mean there is an upgrade for amd64 as well.. synaptic is a front end for apt, thats all [04:54] Hi folks [04:54] techno_freak, which should I iinstall? linux-headers-amd64-generic which shows .17 description: Upgrade dummy package. Can be removed. ?

[04:55] does anyone know why this won't work http://pastebin.com/d1976b3de [04:55] Does anyone knows about connecting to the internet using wireless? please pm me [04:55] Total newbie question, if I may. I'm trying to switch to Ubuntu. I've created several installation CDs, using 2 different drives, and I checked that the md5 was correct - yet no install CD gets more than halfway without erroring out as an unreadable CD. I have created a new ext3 partition that's 850 mb - is there some way I can put the install image on there, then use that to install? [04:55] EdijusXP, that's where i found the wvdialconf comand [04:55] bye everybody [04:55] tenX, not much, just in the bug squad [04:55] EdijusXP, look in the forums about ndiswrapper [04:55] hw... man that sucks [04:55] !wireless | EdijusXP [04:55] EdijusXP, wvdialconf gave me "no modem was detected" [04:55] EdijusXP: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:55] monestri_ oi sorry i'm no good on suspend resume, your problem sounds usb related though, and I have read things about that here and there but i'm useless.. [04:55] Right now I am running from the CD image, which seems fine... I just can'tget any CD to finish the install [04:55] brianfreud, -- look up Unetbootin [04:55] techno_freak, ? [04:55] usb related?? [04:56] Was someone in here asking about booting Ubuntu from a USB? [04:56] where do you get that? [04:56] that's funny [04:56] Newbie question: I'm running Ubuntu via VirtualBox on a Windows XP box. I'm trying to set up sshd to allow me to ssh from xp to ubuntu. Does anyone have expertise in this area? [04:56] tawd_: I had the same problem some time ago. I guess u will not be able to use it. [04:56] how can i get the latest drivers for my video card [04:56] mrstevegross: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:56] brianfreud, or, unetbutin.. [04:56] because my usb ports don't work either. [04:56] mrstevegross: should be able to just apt-get install ssh [04:56] emma: yeah please help me [04:56] CaptainMorgan, in synaptic there is a mark all upgrades? click it [04:56] Devices work if they're connected from boot, but hotswapping doesn't work. [04:56] EdijusXP, ok. i'll look around a little more before giving up [04:56] tritium: Yeah, I've gone through that, and configured sshd_config. [04:56] im trying to get wow to run and i need to update my drivers i think [04:56] mrstevegross: great [04:56] Still, however, I get "connection refused" when I run putty on xp. [04:56] techno_freak: one thing - i'd like to emphasize that i'am really thankful for the communities works and love debian specific distributions. not to get me wrong. but you have to admit that it was a severe incident, really critical [04:56] Is there a new way of opening a port in Hardy? I'm trying to get Deluge to receive incoming connections but no luck so far.... [04:56] And there's no dmesg response to usb devices being plugged in (hotswapping) [04:56] If anyone can help me out with a simple icon question, please say so. [04:56] huawei, try this out -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [04:56] so it's not an automount issue. [04:57] RainMaker ? [04:57] tenX: nobody is downplaying the severity [04:57] tawd_: It's very hard task.. [04:57] techno_freak, that didn't do anything... "Apply" didn't go bold... [04:57] monestri_ i was assuming the mouse is a usb mouse, that or I got your post mixed with another, it is goingby fast and i'm on an asus eee, and your tone is less than pleasant, i'm going back to answer questions in the forums, this place is wack tonight [04:57] tenX, am not running away from saying it wasn't a fault, am saying that it happens once in a while and people learn from it [04:57] Anyone - Region codes on DVDs? [04:57] EdijusXP, yeah. i wonder how they coped with it in the past! [04:57] emma: I want the ubuntu iso to boot from usb instead of burning a CD always [04:57] Ediferious: yes, there are [04:57] CaptainMorgan, then there might not be an upgrade to your installed packages, which includes the kernel as well [04:57] ... [04:58] ok, you could just say you don't know [04:58] no need to blame me [04:58] tritium: how do I get vlc to ignore them? [04:58] Ediferious: don't know, but that's a better-worded question. [04:58] huawei, that's what this link is explaining how to do -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [04:58] anyone help me? [04:58] i need to get the new drivers for my video card [04:58] tritium: It was my 3rd attempt, so I dropped teh words. [04:58] techno_freak, what does "Upgrade dummy package...." mean ? [04:58] techno_freak: yes in a way we agree. but the incident made me loose trust in something i was standing for. it was hard for me personally since i sell debianish services a lot [04:59] should I attempt it ?

[05:00] techno_freak: i am just afraid there may be other distro specific modifications :( [05:00] Ediferious, the card is GM965/GL960 [05:00] CaptainMorgan, dummy package is not the original package, it's just a name which might point to the latest package. you can try changing the mirror and check if an upgrade is available [05:00] To install firefox2, I would uninstall firefox3, then download firefox2, and install it [05:01] Ediferious I thought VLC ignored region codes [05:01] if everything is identical in synaptic for both versions.... it should be a simple reconfig [05:01] or simple pointer to [05:01] etheredge: Do A google for " Ubuntu driver" [05:01] seamus7, me too [05:01] tenX: it was *not* a modification to code.

[05:09] legend2440, lol. right after that it gives the command wvdialconf, which said i have no modem [05:09] tritium: keep up the good work. i'd love to get involved some day to give sth back [05:09] yes [05:10] tenX: you too! [05:10] drivetraxa: So is it not possible to ssh from the XP box to the ubuntu-within-virtualbox then? [05:10] Marfi: did you get that? [05:10] tritium: but those question must be allowed because they are fundamental [05:10] Ediferious, np. this is a clean install, so there is nothing to roll back to [05:10] I have the boot splash screen disabled so when I boot up, I see messages scroll by. But some of the messages go by too fast to read. I looked at all the logs in /var/logs but cannot find some of those initial boot messages. I know because I can see some message that says "FATAL ERROR" and then something about a battery. Are those messages I am seeing on boot up logged anywhere? If so, where can I find it? [05:10] Ediferious, yes, just found that link a few min before [05:10] mrstevegross, try telnet [05:10] Oh... [05:10] hmmm. [05:10] Marfi: Not sure on a clean install. Dang. [05:10] Well. [05:11] Question: On the LiveCD, is there a way to keep it from trying to access the hdd? I want to boot into livecd to see if I can extract information off of a defective hd, but it stops loading when it tries to access the hd. [05:11] tenX: definitely [05:11] Now that I browse for my icon it doesn't show my icon for me to choose.. [05:11] Marfi: Could you google what the previous version was, install it, then uninstall the old? [05:11] drivetrax: It tells me "could not open connection on port 23: connect failed" [05:11] sooo the machine is a dell precision m4300. I had the sound working in debian testing. I cant seem to get it to work in ubuntu and the nvidia driver it wants to install causes it to turn the screen all white with a black.grey lint down the middle? [05:11] chris256: dmesg [05:11] tritium: i regard it all as a chance to improve further. especially ubuntu has a great chance to expand as a desktop system [05:11] any advice on this thing would be great [05:11] mrstevegross, this is kinda off-topic [05:11] tritium: though i mostly use it as a server system [05:12] mrstevegross, however.. both ports in windows and Ubuntu should be open.. to telnet to.. and if there is windows firewall.. it should also be open on that port [05:12] tenX: I agree. [05:12] tritium: I get back "E: Invalid operation linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic" [05:12] seamus7, now that I browse for the icon I want, it doesn't show the icon for me to choose. [05:13] drivetrax: Is it possible that the IP is wrong? I got it from the general network settings on Ubuntu. Ping replies positively to it. [05:13] also i was wondering..when i install the perpriatory drivers for nvidia..how to i back that out later. Im use to using aptitude (which seems to be installed) but i dont know what the package is that i need to remove === rignes_ is now known as rignes [05:13] tritium: when i remember back to the days i started off with debian 2.0 in 1998 with no graphic support and even less idea about what i was doing we've come a long way ;) [05:13] RainMaker it's not intuitive ... once you find the folder you know the icon is in choose Open ... it should then open a new window which will display thumbnails of all the icons in that folder [05:13] superkuh, I think you're looking for sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic [05:13] MrStevegross - sure [05:14] not sudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic [05:14] That's what I did, I have the icons in a folder, and I choose the folder but it doesn't show the thumbnails. [05:14] how large should i make my swap space for hardy? [05:14] drivetrax: I've got firestarter installed now. I don't see a section for opening / closing specific ports though. [05:14] Or, better yet, what would be the best way to extract information off of a bad hd? It's in a laptop, and I've tried BackTrack with no success, and booting from an external drive. Everything tries to access the internal HDD and freezes the boot up. [05:14] RainMaker choose the folder and then Open it [05:15] tenX: it has come along way since I started in 1993 [05:15] anyone know how to get Java support for MonoDevelop in Hardy? [05:15] Ahadiel: Yes, I was. But I was already up to date. [05:15] Shpook, live cd it. :-) [05:15] its for a laptop with 2gb of ram but iv'e got a 250gb hdd so plenty of spare space [05:15] quick question. does anyone know the easiest programming language to learn to build GUI programs? [05:15] general question: are most of you ubuntu users stick to using sudo? first thing i do after a system install is "sudo passwd root" and eliminating the basic user [05:15] tenX: sudo everything i never use su [05:16] tenX: i'm happy with sudo [05:16] tenX, eliminating the basic user? [05:16] NastyAccident: That's what I've been trying to do, but livecd is trying to access the hard drive. [05:16] tenX: what do u mean? [05:16] tenX: yes, we strongly encourage the use of sudo, and discourage enabling the root account [05:16] tritium: you must be older than my grandpa [05:16] tenX: I stick with Sudo [05:16] mrstevegross - policy, and events tabs [05:16] tenX: 34 [05:16] basic user meaning the initial one [05:16] Shpook, what is your boot order? [05:16] ~sigh~ I open the folder where the icon I want is, but no thumbnails. [05:16] drivetrax: Ok, I've allowed telnet and ssh policies from "anyone" and "applied policy". Still no luck--do the changes apply immediately? [05:16] CDROM, HD1, HD2? [05:16] tenX, you mean the non root user also created, why would you do that, do you do everything as root? [05:16] RainMaker you click the Firefox icon in Properties and then Browse to the folder .. the folder will be empty ... then click Open and a new window will open displaying its content .... are your icons in proper formats [05:16] i see sudo as a help for windows users to differ accounts [05:17] tenX: what i did is make the password of su the same as password for my login [05:17] Make sure it is booting into the CDROM before HDs! [05:17] Change it in the bios. [05:17] anyone "how large should i make my swap space for hardy?" [05:17] Not sure, I believe it's usb-hdd, cd-rom, hdd1, pxe [05:17] Philh: yes especially surfing the net and downloading pr0n [05:17] :p [05:17] i sometimes sudo su to get a root shell, sudo this, sudo that gets boring after a while, but i don't run a gui as root === slyboots_ is now known as SlyChocobo [05:17] what's the bash command to create, say, an openoffice wordprocessor file? [05:17] of course i only use root for administrative tasks [05:17] !sudo | tenX [05:17] tenX: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:17] tenX: u need to be root to download porn?? [05:17] !ot [05:17] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:17] kelvin911, totally [05:17] tenX: that's for informational background on why we recommend it [05:18] tawd_, dont think u can do that from the commandline [05:18] Oh, okay, I got it now, I thought it was supposed to show it automatically, thanks a lot I owe you! [05:18] kelvin911: yes only as root i can really enjoy it [05:18] Starnestommy: ? [05:18] ubottu: mmmm of course of course... [05:18] tenX: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:18] obviously tenX needs a root [05:18] NastyAccident: Sorry, I think it's usb-hd, cd-rom, hd, pxe [05:18] usser, i'm sure you can, because the GUI is built on top of bash. right? [05:18] mrstevegross, now windows..set the firewall.. and any installed other firewall you have [05:18] * zak2 is sorry, he couldn't help it :) [05:18] ubottu: you didnt give me a reason yet to doubt that [05:18] tenX: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:18] boot cdrom first. [05:18] Philh: use sudo -i rather than sudo su [05:18] greetings everyone! I have a quick question-which dvd shrinking program can efficiently shrink a 5.6gb dvd game file so that I can burn it to a DVD5 disc? I selected most of the dvd programs what were available in the packages so I just wanted to know which program could do it. Thanks for your time! [05:19] My computer locked up again and had to restart it. I'm trying to figure out what those messages that are shown on boot up. I looked all over dmesg reading line for line and greping for "FATAL ERROR" and cannot find that message there. [05:19] so you type in sudo before every "root" command? [05:19] drivetrax: I have fully disabled my firewall. Still get "connection refused". [05:19] you have an alias for that? === tawd_ is now known as tawd [05:20] tawd_, thats not true for all applications, im looking thru command line options for openoffice cant find one [05:20] mrstevegross - there is no router involved? [05:20] tritium, i knew i'd seen something like that, thanks for the reminder [05:20] NastyAccident: Will boot order affect LiveCD? I just looked and it boots the hd before cd. I've been over-riding the boot order each boot. [05:20] !kiba-dock [05:20] Factoid kiba-dock not found [05:20] usser, hmm that's odd. how did people in the first days of bash/terminal create files? [05:20] I looked in the debug log, the syslog, kernel log, and just about every other log and cannot find that fatal error message anywhere. [05:20] Philh: no problem :) [05:21] drivetrax: Well, it's just a laptop. However, I am using a wireless router for my internet connection. [05:21] Shpook, it tries to boot the external drive. [05:21] chris256_ vi [05:21] which repo is kiba-dock in? [05:21] mrstevegross, perhaps you might use shares.. and.. that is "talking" between the two [05:21] anyone know? [05:21] Just switch it to the CDROM and you'll be able to get into the LiveCD. [05:21] imho sudo in ubuntu is only a way for users new to linux to seperate user rights [05:21] Easy data transfer. [05:21] drivetrax: "shares" ? [05:21] if you know what you're doin.. its a waste [05:21] tawd, oh i thought u meant for openoffice specifically, creating files is easy [05:21] vi the text editor? [05:21] tawd, touch filename [05:21] tenX: no, it's not just for new users [05:21] usser, that's it? [05:21] tritium: but? [05:21] mrstevegross, yes, when you share a windows directory, with people, and Samba an Ubuntu directory with windows.. [05:22] chris256_ sorry mate getting the people and their questions mixed up [05:22] tawd, that will create an empty file [05:22] chris256_ ignore me [05:22] Which repo is kiba-dock in, anyone know? [05:22] tenX: it enhances security. [05:22] drivetrax: Fair enough, but I am interesting in setting up a variety of services on my linux box that would be used from a windows client. ssh is just the first. [05:22] o.k. no problem. [05:22] fongkwan: it's not [05:22] Any oen got experince with Openbox? [05:22] NastyAccident: Right, I have it set like that purposely. Each boot I have the option to override the boot order, and I select cd. I choose the option to enter LiveCD, and when it tries loading LiveCD, it tries to access the HD. [05:22] tritium: it doesnt. it doesnt make a difference if you use sudo or execute commands as root [05:23] What LiveCD are you using? [05:23] usser, awesome! thanks. i'm one step closer to being able to use bash as well as the GUI [05:23] tritium: IFFF the sudoers file gives you the same powers as root of course [05:23] tenX: it does. Consider that you run gentoo, so I know that you have a root account. All I have to guess is the root password. I run ubuntu. You'll have to guess two things: my user account, *and* my password [05:23] tritium: and in ubuntu it dows [05:23] drivetrax: I see that firestarter reports connection attempts. It does not appear to show any, though. This is odd, given that I have tried a number of times to connect. Any ideas? [05:24] I just find it hard to understand that in Linux a message is displayed on the screen during boot so fast that it's unreadable but yet it is not put into a log somewhere. [05:24] NastyAccident: I tried both Ubuntu Hardy normal install and BackTrack [05:24] I have a weird problem with Hardy - I run Gutsy on my Thinkpad T60 with ATI Mobility X1400 using the proprietry driver (fglrx), I use a Dell 2407 monitor through the external VGA port -- under Hardy I get constant little flickers or jitters on the external monitor only, whether Desktop Effects are enabled or disabled [05:24] greetings everyone! I have a quick question-which dvd shrinking program can efficiently shrink a 5.6gb dvd game file so that I can burn it to a DVD5 disc? I selected most of the dvd programs what were available in the packages so I just wanted to know which program could do it. Thanks for your time! [05:24] Any one here uses Openbox? [05:25] Shpook, the default action of a LiveCD should be to write to the memory. [05:25] like a row of pixels moves 10 pixels or so so the side, then a row of pixels a few pixels below does it half a second later, kind of thing [05:25] tritium: well but if i seperate accounts i have 2 pwds - as a sudo user with all privileges there's only one [05:25] anyone got any clues? [05:25] hi, i wanted to create some tutorial, i use gtk-recordmydesktop, i have a headphone with microphone on it, how do i record my voice in the tutorial? [05:25] I'm not sure why you're crashing on a boot, if you have it set up to read the cdrom drive first. [05:25] NastyAccident, i think it goes looking for local swap partitions just incase [05:25] mrstevegross, - http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Advanced_Networking_Linux [05:25] I'm sure it's related to the fglrx version, because I installed the latest drivers from the ATI website under Gutsy and got the same problem [05:26] NastyAccident: Okay, I wasn't sure. I think this laptop is cursed. :-) [05:26] tenX: yes, but you don't know the user account name. [05:26] Perhaps, try a different LiveCD? === ce_celcius is now known as co_katrox [05:26] Sorry, I'm a linux noob (just changed over), I've been finding it impossibly difficult to find a RMVB to Ipod video converter [05:26] does anyone know of any? [05:26] drivetrax: Thanks! [05:26] ls [05:27] hi every one need some help here i v been working on starting my modem work and can't get it work after i downloaded the drivers from linuxant my sound card stop working and i can't get my modem work my modem card is "conexant hda" laptop dell inspiron 6400 any help plz ? [05:27] tritium: i don't think it makes a difference mathmatically using strong pwds - and for services like ssh you can disallow root logins [05:27] sai just download mp4 [05:27] but then, if just accessing the drive to look for swap space will hang the machine then mounting the partition once the livecd has booted in order to get at the data sounds like it'll do the same [05:27] right, so what's yous guys opinion: an external hdd, fat32 or ext2 [05:27] NastyAccident: lol I'm on 4 different downloads and 6 different burns, all with md5 verified. Unless you mean a different distro. [05:27] Try KillBill. >.> [05:27] rooly: ntfs [05:27] I would expect that under Windows things wouldn't be logged but not Linux. [05:27] tenX: fine, I'm not too interested in debating it [05:27] tritium: finding out local usernames shouldnt be that hard [05:28] rooly: or ext3 [05:28] tritium: yeah because you're losing ;) [05:28] rooly: i hear bad thing about ext2 [05:28] tenX: no, I'm not at all [05:28] rooly, as long as you remember to change ownership of the filesystem's root then ext3 is good... [05:28] Does anyone know how to convert RMVB to Ipod? [05:28] tritium: well who cares [05:28] ok, so ext3 or ntfs [05:28] I am trying to add a new user with ftp rights and it isnt working.. keeps saying login info not correct [05:28] hi, i wanted to create some tutorial, i use gtk-recordmydesktop, i have a headphone with microphone on it, how do i record my voice in the tutorial? [05:28] rooly: but ntfs is the best for external because u can read it in windows and mac [05:29] hmm, i'm not particularly worried about windows usage, and mac usage is effectively non-existent [05:29] tritium: for me it's a nice way to introduce new users to a more secure OS usage - for you its a stupid command you always have to type in before being allowed to change anything :p [05:29] rooly: then ext3 [05:29] rooly, there are a few questions to ask, drive type, solid state or magnetic, target use, external backup or portable storage [05:29] My computer keeps locking up. It did it sometimes in Gutsy but it does it frequently now with Hardy. I'm probably am going to have to try another distro. That's a shame because I like Ubuntu. [05:29] tenX: no, I use sudo -i [05:30] chris256_: maybe ur hardware [05:30] chris256_: try memtest [05:30] Anybody have any recommendations of other distros to try? [05:30] tritium: do i have to confront the man page or will you introduce me to your magic [05:30] lets see, sata 7200, magnetic, and both backup and portable [05:30] I did memtest overnight and no problems. [05:30] chris256_: puppylinux [05:30] NastyAccident: So, I just took the hd out of the laptop, and it booted right up into livecd. [05:30] tenX: try it ;) [05:30] tenX, similar to sudo su but retaining the current user's session, or something like that [05:31] chris256_: or try clean install ubuntu 7.10 [05:31] I've heard good things about Puppy. [05:31] Philh: thx :) [05:31] Philh: right ;) [05:31] chris256_: hardy did lock up on me 3 times already [05:31] tritium: :p [05:31] tenX: thus, I type sudo once, just as I'd type su once, so it's no less efficient, [05:31] thats conform to su - isnt it.. [05:32] tritium: well su is muuuch shorter [05:32] tritium: and i win :) [05:32] I thought abuot that downgrading to 7.10. This 8.04 is a clean install. [05:32] tenX: nah, you still have an enabled root account, with one less thing to guess [05:32] Btw I don't have any Nvidia drivers or hardware. [05:32] tritium: thats assuming one has sshd running [05:32] among other things [05:33] what would be the fastest-access fs for an external via usb drive [05:33] hydrogen: or local access [05:33] tritium: my password is longer than route 66 so i dont feel less secure [05:33] chris256_: ? [05:33] I need help please. I'm running utorrent on ubuntu. I'm getting this error in some torrents: "too many files" [05:33] I tried ulimit -n but I get this : bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted [05:33] rooly, you will never notice a difference, unless your working with large files, like in the multi gb and up [05:33] tenX: cool, I live right off of Route 66 [05:33] chris256_: u have nvidia card? [05:33] usually do, macd [05:34] tritium: damn stay off the road [05:34] rooly, i've just set one up using ext3 with a tiny vfat partition just for emergencies, seems pretty fast [05:34] rooly, well, if they're all big, you cant beat xfs. [05:34] No, I do not have an nvidia nard. === SplinTer061662 is now known as SplinTer0616 [05:34] xfs + vfat it is [05:34] tritium: if you managed to get a program running locally to bruteforce than it could just as easily bruteforce sudo [05:34] That is what I was saying that I don't have one. Because I have heard of a lot of lock-ups with nvidia cards. [05:34] gotta check some windoze systems, brb ;) [05:34] rooly, how did you settle on xfs? [05:35] speed, since i often carry very large files [05:35] what hapepned to the jre-1.4-mozilla-plugin? how do I get java applets working inside of mozilla? (other than the gcj packge -- that did not work for me) === Jaie___ is now known as Jaie [05:35] unless there's something faster [05:36] rooly: watch out for vfat if you gonna use nfs :D [05:36] chris256_: nvidia cards are fine in ubuntu [05:36] Does anyone know how to keep LiveCD from accessing the HD? [05:36] rooly, do you expect the filesystem type to be a limiting factor when using a usb interface? [05:36] * rooly agrees with kelvin911. no issues with an nvidia 8800 since i got it [05:37] hey guys [05:37] chris256_: most people reports locks up are because they are using beta OS or beta drivers [05:37] I used mv to move a blog from one users public_html directory to another, and now images aren't working.. any ideas on how to chown/chmod it to get it running again? [05:37] im trying to install java 2 SDK and I downloaded .bin file. but i dont know how to install this bin file [05:37] m3ltd0wn123: probly the paths to the imaages are broken [05:37] Hello, I'm trying to get a Broadcom 4306 wireless card working in Hardy Heron. I've download b43-fwcutter, and now I can see wireless APs, but I can't connect. I keep getting authentication with AP timed out. Any suggestions? [05:37] yeonhoo: use the ubuntu packages instead [05:38] m3ltd0wn123: chown -R user blog [05:38] Philh, I just tell them what they want to know and dont worry about explaining such things ;) [05:38] not sure, Philh. i was only getting around 10MB/s using a fat32 interface [05:38] Really, o.k. I've been googling Ubuntu with lock-up issues and find nvidia cards everywhere. But I'm have the same problems and am not using nvidia. [05:38] tritium, how? could you tell me detail? [05:38] rooly, fat32 filesysystem, USB interface [05:38] !java | yeonhoo [05:38] yeonhoo: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:38] govno? [05:39] rooly, i'm getting around 11MB/s using ext3, i think that's the usb limiting the speed more than anything, you filesystem choice shouldn't be based around speed [05:39] macd: what is the problem using usb storage devices with fat32 fs on them if i may ask? [05:39] gavno!!!! [05:39] chris256_, has anyone asked you to post some logs from /var/log ? [05:39] rooly: uses NTFS [05:39] tritium, I already install and removed several times the package sun-java6-jre [05:39] RUSSIAN [05:39] !ru | biG_mC [05:39] biG_mC: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [05:39] tenX, I never said there was a problem, I matched a filesystem to a storage demand [05:39] i dont' want ntfs, kelvin911 [05:39] rooly: if u just uses external for storage of your movies [05:39] tritium, im actually trying to launch topcoder app. but no success.. [05:39] tenX, fat32 can get flakey if it's not unmounted properly [05:39] macd: okay i got you wrong [05:39] rooly: then ext3 [05:40] ok, it starts out flakey and get flakier [05:40] rooly: why is it so tough to choose? [05:40] anyone knows how to launch this after u make install -- http://smack.berlios.de/ [05:40] rooly: fat32 cant store big files [05:40] macd: No, I haven't posted any logs and haven't really asked for any advice anywhere. I've just searched the forums. [05:40] just wanted to know what the people in the know know [05:40] Philh: everything should be unmounted properly. and fat32 usage is another pain [05:40] rooly: and the smallest filesize probably will be 32KB [05:40] tenX, just because everything should be doesn't mean it always is [05:41] d[X_X]b: Does just running "smack" not work? Shame that they wouldn't put it on your path... [05:41] rooly: fat32 isnt efficient [05:41] chris256_, why dont you pastebin your /var/log/lastlog /var/log/kern.log /var/log/dmesg /var/log/syslog (just the time when it locked up) [05:41] kelvin911: fat32 is efficient. It fragments, but it does it efficiently. [05:41] Philh: and just because i want to it doesnt mean i will ;) [05:41] ryanprior no it doesnt...but i traced it to /usr/local/share/smack/ === maco_ is now known as maco [05:41] dont know what to do next [05:42] RyanPrior: fat32 is efficient?? [05:42] right-o then. ext3 + 4gb vfat it is [05:42] RyanPrior: u crazy? [05:42] quit [05:42] RyanPrior, it's really good at fragmenting, best around [05:42] d[X_X]b, did you try typing "smack" [05:42] Philh: It totally is. [05:42] Philh: unmounting is important because you tell your OS to definitely write the buffered date to the device to be disconnected. if you just pull the plug you might be missing stuff [05:42] is there any way to get stop the vfat from automounting? [05:42] macd yes [05:42] tenX, this i know [05:43] kelvin911: I use fat32 for my ~/Video partition, which I mount read-only unless I'm adding a new file to it. [05:43] rooly: external? [05:43] d[X_X]b, how about 'locate smack' [05:43] yes, Frogzoo [05:43] macd, O.k. what is pastebin? How many lines back from the time my system locked up from each log should be pastebinned? [05:43] RyanPrior: why fat32 and not ntfs? [05:43] macd do no...shoild i type in terminal...hold [05:43] kelvin911: Because fat32 is well understood and doesn't require a userland driver. [05:44] RyanPrior: but fat32 cant store large files [05:44] kelvin911: is ntfs usage _really_ a safe *nix option nowadays? [05:44] kelvin911: I don't have any, so no big. [05:44] tenX: yes, with ntfs-3g [05:44] macd nothing but pointing to trashcan files [05:44] i think ntfs is pretty safe now [05:44] tenX: Depends on what angle you're coming at. If you're running a data center, I wouldn't suggest it. For home use, yeah it's pretty safe. [05:44] tritium: reallyreallyreally? productive? ;) [05:44] i wanted to strat away from fat32 anyway, as its been giving me a little trouble [05:44] chris256_, about 5 minutes before, on syslog [05:44] RyanPrior: thats exactly my point :) [05:44] !pastebin | chris256_ [05:44] tenX: productive? What are you asking? [05:45] chris256_: 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) [05:45] can some one help me set up et sound [05:45] RyanPrior: in private usage there is no ntfs [05:45] If I have an Intel Core 2 duo, which version should I be downloading of ubunt 8.04? the Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) or the 64bit AMD and Intel computers === RootMR_ is now known as RootMR [05:45] are the w32codecs in the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [05:45] d[X_X]b, goto the directory you compiled smack in, and read the INSTALL file, see if it names the binary you need to run [05:45] ogun: how much ram do you have? [05:45] 2 gig [05:45] emma: they are a dependency of that meta-package, yes [05:45] ogun: 32 bit for desktop use is best [05:45] tritium: try to awake your brain for somewhat strange sounding words [05:45] ogun: I'd say 32bit then [05:45] ogun: Just download the regular ix86 desktop distro, 32 bit. [05:45] ok thanks! [05:45] bye! [05:45] tenX: you're failing to make sense [05:45] ogun: unless you have >3GB of RAM. [05:46] can some one help me set up et sound [05:46] 64bits dont have that many applications [05:46] For some reason I'm not able to play .asf in firefox right now. [05:46] tritium: you must be from texas [05:46] alright, thanks for the replies! c ya [05:46] tenX: no [05:46] !offtopic | tritium, tenX [05:46] tritium, tenX: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:46] robert__: enemy territory? [05:46] I changed my hardware a few times... [05:46] yes [05:46] robert__: wait [05:46] macd lemme ask you how would i remove if i dont see a uninstall script there? [05:46] old nic's take eth0 eth1 [05:46] tritium: i meant in commercial use, not for yourself [05:46] tritium, i think tenX is succeeding at being tenX, this may be unfortunate for the rest of us [05:46] how do I remove that ? [05:46] d[X_X]b: make uninstall might remove it [05:46] ok [05:46] k [05:47] hi, i wanted to create some tutorial, i use gtk-recordmydesktop, i have a headphone with microphone on it, how do i record my voice in the tutorial? [05:47] Philh: I'll take care of it, if necessary [05:47] d[X_X]b: No guarantees when you use an installer that's not tracked by the package manager, though. [05:47] via the sound-recorder or applications like audacity, byonix [05:47] Philh: so what is that damn tenX b* like [05:47] d[X_X]b, if you compiled it, chance are 'make uninstall' in addition to [05:47] tenX: really, that comment about TX was inappropriate. No need for prejudice here, pleas.e [05:47] in case the makefile contains that target.. [05:48] d[X_X]b, 'make clean' also remove any junk it threw in share [05:48] make uninstall worked thanks guys but oddly enough it left empty folders [05:48] d[X_X]b: yeah, sometimes uninstallers are a little messy. [05:48] so i gues manually delete should be safe [05:48] tritium: i would have put all my money on it [05:48] rooly:are there any sound recorder apps in hardy, how do i do that? [05:48] tenX: because? [05:48] d[X_X]b, be safe and know what your deleteing also ;) [05:49] man i tell you this linux can leave a bad taste in your mouth sometimes...thanmk god it all worked out [05:49] tritium: your intolerance towards non native speakers [05:49] tenX: I was asking for clarification. That's not intolerance. [05:49] d[X_X]b, just install things you find in add/remove and synaptic, and you wont have headaches :) [05:49] thanks a lot guys [05:49] tenX and tritium, this really is not the place for your conversation. #ubuntu-offtopic is our social channel - please, come join us there. :-) [05:49] byonix, "applications->sound & video->sound recorder" is an included application. you have to install any others [05:49] yea true that [05:49] byonix, you could record the video first then use audacity to record the voiceover while watching it later,even if the desktop recorder can record voice to the video you'll have more time to think about your commentary [05:49] RyanPrior: you need people like us there to get it really goin on there i guess ;) [05:50] tritium: lets skip that its all good [05:50] tenX: no, I've asked you to drop it [05:50] rooly:i have tried that part, i accomplish nothing [05:50] RyanPrior: addressing and stopping prejudices in the channel is sometimes required [05:51] robert__: still there? [05:51] philh:how do i use audacity? [05:51] robert__: wget -q -O - http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz | gzip -d > et-sdl-sound && chmod a+x et-sdl-sound [05:51] robert__: run that command [05:51] byonix, sudo apt-get install audacity first, i suspect [05:51] then ./et-sdl-sound to play [05:51] byonix, ubuntu-studio might be a perfect match for you http://ubuntustudio.org/ , as well you can install its packages ontop on a "normal" ubuntu install [05:52] tritium: Not really - if somebody is out of line, just kick. The channel is unreadable enough without ops trying to argue with people... [05:52] how do i copy that [05:52] tritium: And I'd love to discuss the mater with you in offtopic if you'd be interested. :-) [05:52] How can I add server to my xchat ?? [05:52] RyanPrior: I detest the offtopic channel [05:52] detest? [05:52] copy that et-sdl-sound file to enemy-territory dir [05:53] what is the equivalent of cd\ in terminal (not cd ..) [05:53] robert__: cp et-sdl-sound /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [05:53] d[X_X]b, "cd /" [05:53] hello :) [05:53] ok kewl.....i typed cd\ and it leaves a weird prompt > [05:53] !hi | deserteagle [05:53] deserteagle: Hi!

[06:28] monestri: specify your problems [06:28] Ok, only major problem left is the usb. Devices work at boot but I can't even manually mount if I hotswap. [06:28] monestri: we're all as smart as hell what do you expect [06:28] Like, nothing shows up in dmesg and nothing shows up in /dev [06:28] !info xlib6 [06:28] Package xlib6 does not exist in hardy [06:29] monestri: at boot? bios? [06:29] tenX: is hell smart? [06:29] byonix: look in settings tab i use regular xchat if i use a gui.gnome-xchats pretty well dumbed down [06:29] zChris: who the hell is that hell guy [06:29] usb works fine at boot [06:29] when i'm in the os hotswapping does not work [06:29] tenX: you said we are as smart as hell [06:29] if it didn't work b4 the os i wouldn't be complaining in the ubuntu channel :D [06:30] zChris: said we all were. dont turn it on me now [06:30] monestri, what kind of devices are you swapping? [06:30] does .xinitrc still exist? if so, where is it? [06:30] any kind [06:30] usb pen drives [06:30] usb hard drives [06:30] usb printers [06:30] monestri: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:30] usb ipod [06:30] what is hotswapping? [06:30] pulling in and out [06:30] monestri: and dmesg doesnt show changes? [06:30] how can I reinstall the ubuntu grub? [06:30] not a good idea [06:31] kelvin911: pulling in and out generally is.. a good idea :) [06:31] nope tenX [06:31] kelvin911, presumably hotswapping is swapping when the machine is powered on, i think it still counts as hotswapping if you unmount first [06:31] tenX: depends on what [06:31] oh woe is me! is there some means of forcing a wireless adapter to go "heeey loookit me, i'm alive! and i'll let you go online because you're awesome'. :( [i have a usb wifi adapter and it works fine. every now and then, i'll boot into windows, and it will not work in ubuntu. i can bring it up, bring it down, and restart networking to my heart's content but it's just like "sorry, i stepped out for lunch!" :( [06:31] tenX: on a chick yes [06:31] how can I reinstall the ubuntu grub? [06:31] dmesg showws no love [06:31] kelvin911: of course :) [06:32] cpet when devices are plugged in at boot [06:32] then it shows when they're disconnected [06:32] riotkittie: are the settings correct? :< [06:32] and sometiems I can even plug them back in [06:32] if i'm lucky that is [06:32] but if they're not plugged in at boot [06:32] no such luck [06:32] I need to revert to VESA display drivers, how do I do that? [06:32] monestri: unplug without unmount usually create problem [06:32] !enter | monestri [06:32] monestri: look in /etc/fstab its probly set noauto [06:32] riotkittie, do you have one that makes you load firmware? [06:32] monestri: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:32] kelvin911, not the issue [06:33] monestri: so if you boot up the devices are detected? is your hardware working correctly? [06:33] zChris: yes the settings are fine. it's just, every once in a while after booting into windows, shutting down and booting back into ubuntu, it goes into a coma. for the most part, 2 reboots and it'll be fine but i've done like ten, and it's been like this for 3 hours. :| === t808490 is now known as stoked [06:33] Rat409, not the problem [06:33] macd: no. [06:33] fstab is for automounting [06:33] I can't even manually mount [06:33] riotkittie: and it works if you boot into windows again? [06:33] riotkittie, maybe intermittent hardware failure then, it sounds wierd to me [06:33] tenX, devices work fine in windows [06:33] zChris: yeah [06:33] okay - I have gone to system>admin>users and clicked UNLOCK, putin my pw, gone to my username, selected User Privliges, and checked Share files wiht the local network, I have done this over and over, it never 'stays'. All I want to do is share a folder on my lan..... [06:33] and various other 'nix distros [06:34] monestri: tried a live distro like knoppix? [06:34] and maybe.. gutsy [06:34] riotkittie: when booting into linux , have you tried take it out w8 30s then plugged it in? [06:34] i have even loged out and back in after each change.... [06:34] monestri: try lsmod is usbcore loaded and usb-storage? [06:34] no idea what those are [06:34] Rat409: should be if everything works on boot [06:34] kernel-modules [06:34] k, still have no idea what do do with them [06:34] can I log into x as root? [06:34] monestri: what is the prob? [06:35] macd: it is weird but i dont think that its hardware failure, and i've seen others with similar adapters mention the same issue but never seen a fix [06:35] zChris: yes [06:35] n00b: yeah but why ? [06:35] dont forget when your helping people, try to make sure they know its a command, and if/where they need to type it in at, and what they should expect to see coming out of it [06:35] hola [06:35] kelvin911, devices don't turn up in dmesg when plugged in [06:35] usb that is [06:35] zChris, how else can I share a folder? Been trying for hours. Ready to pull remaining hair out... [06:35] riotkittie, I had a similar issue with an atheros card a while back, I ent up stomping it one night and buying a new one [06:35] riotkittie: what does dmesg say when you plug it in ? perhaps it loads the wrong module or something [06:35] n00b: why do you want to share a folder as root? isit over samba or nfs? [06:36] monestri: did u just unplug them from windows? [06:36] zChris - new install, I believe samba. I want to share with widows [06:36] no..... [06:36] n00b, you could always install proftpd and share that way, it's simple but it's not terribly safe [06:36] zChris: nothing in dmesg looks out of place at all . [06:36] this has been a problem since fiesty [06:36] not a problem since yesterday [06:36] :d [06:36] I installed ubuntu-server with samba [06:36] riotkittie, have you tried stopping network-manager and doing it manually? [06:36] not anything to do with unplugging before unmounting [06:36] Philh: why proftpd not safe? [06:36] need to access var/www from other pcs [06:36] macd: i always do it manually. [06:37] riotkittie: check what module it uses and google and see if that is the correct one [06:37] dmesg doesn't even acknowledge if I plug in usb devices unless they were present from boot [06:37] in ubuntu server is it possible to run firefox through ssh, and having the display forwarded to me, even though I don't have know installed on the ubuntu server/ [06:37] ? [06:37] riotkittie, recompile your kern module with the debug symbols, then start debuggin ;) [06:37] kelvin911, because it's an ftp server that by default offers up your entire filesystem to be read via ftp, or that's been my experience [06:37] monestri: just recommend to give knoppix a shot to clear up things [06:37] macd: OR you can do it for her/him :D [06:37] it's almost as if the usb isn't activated unless it's plugged in at boot, but thena gain I know nothing about usb. So that's why i'm here [06:37] I am using wvdial. Is there an applet available for the system tray that I can see if the connection is still up or the speed maybe. [06:37] I will do via samba, ftp, whatever. Just need to access www/var for php testing. I can browse it, and edit files locally. PHP works, but cannot get files to it from pther pcs [06:37] blah. :| [06:37] i don't have gnome installed on ubuntu* [06:37] macd, hey, found how to get it all.. however i'm missing the .gnome2_private/Evolution file on the account. the password is stored, just need to know where.... [06:38] Philh: really? [06:38] maybe i'll just suck it up and go wired for a while. :( [06:38] zChris, pfffft, if they know enough to not use network-manager they can do it themselves [06:38] macd: not likly :P [06:38] kelvin911, on an old installation of ubuntu, 5.10, yes, haven't tried recently [06:38] riotkittie: go wired for awhile and try to google or something [06:38] idefine, yeah, just use X forwarding (ssh -Y) [06:38] Philh: i am sure the new one isnt [06:38] jgraham_, oh yeah I just looked there myself, looks like its hashed for sure [06:39] kelvin911, it's still ftp and not ssh, so less than secure [06:39] Philh: i am using it, i always change the default dir to somewhere i want to share [06:39] timedroid: not sure but wasnt that the -X switch? [06:39] can anyone help with this usb problem? [06:39] n00b: is ssh installed? [06:39] hi [06:39] jgraham_, so you'll prolly have to put the encrypted part in a textfile and use gpg to un-encrypt it [06:39] macd, base64.. easy, but.. it's missing on the account i need.. so i found /.gnome2/keyrings but i'm unsure how to decrypt it. [06:40] macd, syntax? [06:40] sigh. google. because it's not like i'd have, oh, i don't know done research for myself at some point before asking elsewhere. :nod: [06:40] gah. [06:40] timedroid: i am doing that, but i get no display specified [06:40] idefine, what OS are you running the client on? It has a working X server? [06:40] jgraham_, if its not in that .gnome2_private/evolution file, then its not there [06:40] zChris, how can I tell? [06:41] can anyone help with this usb problem? === foka_ is now known as foka [06:41] n00b: well it isint then ;) ou have to do it yourself [06:41] jgraham_, as in they didnt save the pass or something possibly [06:41] monestri: i think your usb problem u need to ask expert in #linux [06:41] timedroid: yep, i can do it when i ssh to other machines. [06:41] timedroid: machine is windows [06:41] tenX, -Y doesn't apply the security extension. Not sure exactly what that does, but I know I had to use it to get forwarding working on cygwin. [06:42] i'll try, thanks, i just thought this was an ubuntu specif problem [06:42] anyone know exactly why on a lot of webpages that have flash content and a dhtml menu that is supposed to expand on top of it.. either all or a lot of the time the menus will in fact go behind the flash content... is it just bad css... ?? [06:42] I just installed proftpd - when I try to start it, i get this:ubuntu-server - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket [06:42] macd, i think it might be in .gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring [06:42] timedroid: interesting. you dont happen to know what that security option is about? [06:42] monestri: there are also many ubuntu guys in #linux or #windows [06:42] jgraham_, I think thats whats used to access the stored keys elsewhere [06:42] help! ff3b5 is not launching on ubuntu hardy.... i launch it but it seems to crash before i can do anything... ideaz? [06:42] monestri: well you dont want to be helped.. [06:42] <__Alex__> I have this really weird issue when using shell... I can't type the lowercase letter x? [06:42] <__Alex__> terminal even [06:43] tenX, oh I don't want to be helped/ [06:43] monestri: just so that sometimes the admin here are so annoying that no one wanna chat in here [06:43] kelvin911, uh, what? [06:43] monestri: why dont you try a live distro, i'd recommend knoppix [06:43] tenX, and do what? [06:43] monestri: go to system>administration>users and groups click on your username hit properties and check user priveleges make sure access external storage devices is checked [06:43] kelvin911: this channel aint for chatting. It is for troubleshooting and helping ppl that have problems with ubuntu [06:43] see [06:44] macd, but besides login, there would only be that password, nothing else has been done on the account.. [06:44] people get piss off by this kinda msg [06:44] monestri: from that way you can most likely tell if its a general "linux" problem [06:44] before I begin, let me first say I honeslty dont care what happens to the OS on the hard drive if it cannot be repaired, that said, so i was attempting to convert a debian install to ubuntu, problem number 1. everything was going fine, but in my rush, i accidently pressed up on the terminal too many times, and selected "reboot" in the middle of installing all the dkpkgs. now, when I reboot, it gives me some issue with finding the [06:44] root device, and then dumps me to a command prompt, is there a way I can mount the drive on an ubuntu livecd, then finish the conversion? [06:44] <__Alex__> anyone? I find it bizarre that I can't type the letter 'x' in my terminal sessions [06:44] !ot | kelvin911 [06:44] kelvin911: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:44] see [06:44] kelvin911: #ubuntu-offtopic is for general "chatting" [06:44] people in #linux dont do that [06:44] kelvin911: this channel is, and has always been, for support only [06:44] in ichat how do i switch to a different network? [06:44] kelvin911: you dont understand WHY this channel exists [06:44] tenX, looks like they do the same thing with Debian distros, see the ForwardX11Trusted section in the manpage for ssh_config [06:44] is he asking for support? [06:45] jgraham_, yeah, I just tried a lil test, deleted a account in that file, then restarted evolution, and it asks for that accounts pass now, so it must be in that specific file [06:45] its a network that doesnt exist and i need to add it to the network list [06:45] but i dont see anywhere where i cna add it [06:45] legend2440, yes it's checked [06:45] tyler, you dont have a add button with a big red plus sign on it like everyone else? [06:45] legend2440, though that wouldn't matter [06:45] kelvin911: you're being deliberately dense, i find it impossible that you could be completely lost to the difference between "support channel" and "chat channel" [06:45] automatically vs. manually? [06:45] I can't even do manually [06:45] I cannot seem to get Hardy / Firefox to play a radio stream .asf that I used to listen to with Gutsy. Any ideas? [06:45] macd, that's what i'm thinking, but i've no idea how to decode... Should be easy.. [06:46] hallo all [06:46] okay, I can ssh in. How can I transfer files to the box if I can access it via ssh? [06:46] emma: try the Firefox version yopu used on hardy ? :) [06:46] idefine, what error do you get? Can you launch xeyes? [06:46] jgraham_, I thought you said it wasnt in .gnome2_private/evolution ? [06:46] timedroid: not meaning to be unkind nor lazy.. but the reading job i can do for myself. i was just asking for some basic info if it was at hand by someone [06:46] n00b: google scp [06:46] monestri: maybe something here will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbFlashDrives#head-94161db8cc46a2b668f1f4a4ac3a2d7b1e34959c [06:46] !scp | n00b [06:46] n00b: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH.

I've changed changed my character encoding from utf-8 to western and I still can't type the letter 'x'?!?!

[06:47] can I tell if there is a ftp server also running? [06:47] __Alex__: check your keybindings [06:47] monestri: well in that case you might try compiling your own kernel [06:47] timedroid: you think that could be the problem [06:47] jgraham_, its not in there for me, its only in that evolution file. [06:47] <__Alex__> Daisuke_Ido: Thanks, just realized it was somehow mapped to paste... no idea how that happened [06:48] macd, weird.. i'm lost... thanks for the help. [06:48] tenX, sounds like pita [06:48] Hello. I am writing a report on Linux being used as a primary Workstation in modern use.

Connecting via dreamweaver, and those are the only options [06:49] macd: Thanks I'll have a look. [06:49] idefine, I'm not sure. It should work as long as there's a X server on the client side, but you might be missing GUI libraries the program uses. [06:49] monestri: not neccessarily - maybe you have g* hardware ;) [06:49] __Alex__: thx [06:49] they're jsut freakin usb [06:49] if i can ssh in, surely I can enable ftp or samba. I selected both (i think) in the ubuntu-server install [06:50] monestri: do you have another usb device you can try just to make sure its not the usb port or some other hardware problem?

[08:03] *phpmyadmin [08:03] sudo apt-get purge kiba-dock [08:03] like this [08:03] kokito: you don't install stuff via apt-get purge [08:03] so then it's "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" [08:03] right? [08:03] hey all [08:03] kokito, do locate kiba-dock | grep desktop does it return any file paths? [08:03] guiest: yes [08:03] I have a question if anyone up to it [08:03] check into this... FreeWRL [08:03] thankyou [08:03] nop [08:03] !ask > mysticdarkhack [08:03] zyx386: how did you install phpmyadmin? [08:03] HOW CAN I DETERMINED THAT MY PC HAS A VIRUS? [08:04] buntu: windows or linux PC? [08:04] Starnestommy, sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin [08:04] does anyone know a way to to use a shortcut keyboard to open and close dvd or cd drive? [08:04] zyx386: it should work right as soon as it's installed after you restart apache [08:04] this would be cool to have [08:05] i installed ubuntu for the first time in ~2 years yesterday. Wireless didn't work, i had lots of icons in the menus not working(for programs not installed), and i had this funny Glipper error on startup. No panels, and a black desktop background. [08:05] how can restart apach Starnestommy [08:05] How's that for "user friendly"?^^ [08:05] mysticdarkhack: man eject [08:05] zyx386: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [08:05] linux_user400354,no [08:05] gejr, sound like your installed got borked [08:05] zyx386: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [08:05] Bodsda: i tried reinstalling.. [08:05] gejr, reinstall or reburn cd at a lower speed then reinstall alternatively try the alternative cd [08:06] Bodsda: yea, that's true. I might try reburning.. [08:06] man eject? yeah eject shortcut [08:06] eject is a command [08:06] will the apps i use with gnome be useable with fluxbox [08:06] ? [08:06] mysticdarkhack, create a hotkey in System--> Pref-->Keyboard shortcuts [08:06] guiest: yes [08:06] hi, someone help me add a user that already has a home folder? [08:07] ok [08:07] thank you [08:07] Starnestommy, wols_ dont worked phpmyadmin :( [08:07] I could do it in KDE but gnome won't let me [08:07] zyx386: what happens when you try to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin ? [08:07] xbj9000: rename the home folder, create a user then rename the old one to the new username [08:08] ah, good idea, thanks wols [08:08] Starnestommy, the browser as "whao can save the file" [08:08] *ask for save [08:08] is there a tutorial somewhere and if not how? [08:08] thx [08:09] mysticdarkhack, hang on 1 sec [08:09] ooh, another side effect of gvfs that i hadn't noticed: when copying a directory to a location where there is already a directory of the same name, you don't have just skip or overwrite. there's a merge option, which has been missing from every OS i've ever used. awesome that it finally exists. [08:09] Starnestommy, thanx i remove the cache and now worked fine [08:09] :) [08:10] mysticdarkhack, not sure-- lemme google it [08:10] guys that didnt work i saw xchat for a second then it dissappeared again [08:10] I just upgraded openssh on 8.04 server earlier today and everything seemed to be working, but now the computer refuses to respond to anything over TCP. ICMP pings and port closed messages work, but any attempt to connect via SSH or access the webserver on port 80 returns no response. Any ideas? [08:10] where did it go [08:10] hi everyone [08:10] How can I get my laptop volume buttons to adjust the master sound rather than turn up and down the Mic???????? [08:10] like xchat is running but i dont know where it is [08:10] mysticdarkhack, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42404 [08:10] Starnestommy, thanx again [08:10] and the little x thing doesnt appear up in the system tray thingy [08:10] !mediabuttons [08:10] i dont know what to do [08:10] Factoid mediabuttons not found [08:10] blah === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:10] Saint`Dia`: rightclick on volume then properties [08:11] !wireless [08:11] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:11] tdawgedogg: Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal, type in "xchat", and see what happens in the terminal window [08:11] thx I'll check it out [08:12] mysticdarkhack, read the replies theres a bit of controversy and read the updated link at the top of the page [08:12] starnestommy: it shows up for about 2 seconds and then dissappears [08:12] is someone able to help me set up a shell script to wget files listed in a textfile? i cant seem to get that at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347151 to work [08:12] like even the tab shows up on the bottom bar [08:12] but then it just goes away [08:12] like someone closed it [08:12] mohamed_: Nope. [08:12] i saw the networks list [08:12] hi guys [08:13] tdawgedogg: it sounds like a bug of some sort [08:13] anyone else have any ideas [08:13] mohamed_: No matter what I change, the keyboard layout and whatnot. It is dead set on only changing the mic. [08:13] tdawgedogg: open an xterm and start xchat there [08:13] might print out some errors or such [08:13] whats an xterm? [08:13] just terminal? [08:13] hai [08:14] tdawgedogg: it's a graphical terminal [08:14] what else do I install besides fluxbox [08:14] vols_: how do i do that [08:14] to make it work [08:14] pakabar [08:14] how is ubuntu server different from debian [08:14] why there is a virus guard for ubuntu eventhough there are no viruses for ubuntu? [08:14] is it simply different package names? === Mr_SpOOn[nonciso is now known as Mr_SpOOn [08:14] fine [08:14] and you [08:14] TuxOne: clamav is used to scan for windows viruses to avoid spreading them [08:14] TuxOne: linux sometimes runs as server for windows and it's nice to do central virus checking on the mail server for example [08:14] Saint`Dia`: volume > properties > select the device that u want to control , at this window you choose master volume [08:14] the command for eject dvd is eject but what about closing, do you know the command for it? [08:14] so clamav mainly scans for windows viruses [08:15] Saint`Dia`: at least this is what appear mine [08:15] how do i open an xterm? [08:15] just feel laze here [08:15] mohamed_: Already tried that. [08:15] thanks wols_ [08:15] tdawgedogg: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [08:15] hai [08:15] Saint`Dia`: you want to adjust volume button on keyboard ? [08:15] Must say I'm pretty darn impressed with the changes from 7.04 to 8.04... Everything, and I mean everything in my Thinkpad R61i works... [08:15] ah thats what i was doing and then i type xchat and it goes away [08:15] Starnestommy> linux [08:15] ipi [08:15] how do i clear xchats program files or whatever [08:15] mohamed_: Yeah. [08:15] all the config files [08:15] do I uninstall gnome [08:16] so i can reinstall it [08:16] mysticdarkhack, id shoot at close but check man eject at the bottom there might be a reference to the command or man page needed [08:16] without the old shit coming into effect [08:16] to make fluxbox work [08:16] buntu: you could use clamav [08:16] Saint`Dia`: then i understand wrong :) i look how this working here [08:16] ive been messing with noapic for a couple hours now, and i still cant get gutsy to boot, but i dont get the noapic error or a splash screen [08:16] what do i do [08:17] CppD: use alternaitve install CD. how far do you get? [08:17] how do i clean config files for a program like xchat [08:17] [08:17] tdawgedogg: with purge as I told you and by looking at your home dir's dotfiles [08:17] ive installed gutsy, and it opens ok in safe mode, but hangs right after booting in normal mode [08:17] Saint`Dia`: from menu System > Preferences > keyboard shortcut [08:17] I'm trying to restore grub through a liveCD.. i have windows on one hard drive and ubuntu on another.. when I "find /boot/grub/stage1" it says Error 15: File not found.. and trying root (hd0,1) or any other such number says "eror 21: selected disk does not exist" [08:17] tdawgedogg: in a terminal, "rm -r ~/.xchat2" [08:18] torsan219: cat /boot/grub/device.map [08:18] torsan219: did you sudo grub? [08:18] dopievoli: no [08:18] try that [08:18] wols_: it says "invalid device" [08:18] mohamed_: Already did that. I got my keys set. The problem is, that when I use the volume up and down keys. It changing the mics volume, instead of master. [08:19] kk [08:19] torsan219: I don't beleive you, /boot/grub/device.map is a simple file [08:19] wols_: I'm sure it is === ivan__ is now known as visf [08:19] then "invalid device" makes no sense since as we agree it is no device [08:20] starnestommy: dude that command worked [08:20] dopievoli: thanks, guess I should have tried that [08:20] starnestommy: what did that command do? [08:20] wols_: don't worry, problem solved ;) [08:20] torsan219: it worked than [08:20] glad [08:20] tdawgedogg: it deleted a xchat config file in your homedir [08:20] a dotfile [08:20] tdawgedogg: it deletes xchat configuration files [08:20] Saint`Dia`: keyboad layout is correct ? [08:21] mohamed_: Yes. [08:21] hi guys, anyone able to tell me how do i apply a .diff file? or a command might do just as well =) [08:21] thanks a lot....hey is there an ubuntu for dummies book or something....how do u learn all this stuff [08:22] Saint`Dia`: my info stop here :) [08:22] tdawgedogg: when there's a question ask mother google [08:22] mohamed_: Thanks anyway. [08:22] tdawgedogg: https://help.ubuntu.com/ start here [08:22] phishie: patch [08:22] Saint`Dia`: if you want to adjust volume as temp solution you can use alsamixer from command line till you solve it [08:22] Does anyone know of a package for streaming 3GPP through RTSP? (i.e. something like m.youtube.com) [08:22] i mean as far as starting with the very simple stuff.....like the basic commands and stuff [08:22] wols_, ooh thanks!

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [08:25] no! [08:25] ? [08:26] drivetrax: what do you want to know from the bot ? [08:26] drivetrax, if thats a response to my factoid use ,.,.why? [08:26] Hi. How do I change the default runlevel in Hardy? I tried creating an /etc/inittab with the following content: "id:3:initdefault", rebooted, but I'm still in runlevel 2 (the runlevel commands says "N 2"). [08:26] drivetrax, please head to #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat thanks [08:26] hey bazhang ;~) how u been doin? [08:28] hello [08:28] hi [08:28] ubuntu fails about security, the ssh fix is wrong [08:28] LimCore: no!? [08:28] hey everyone [08:28] LimCore, thats a big statement [08:28] LimCore: source?? [08:28] hi charlie === ce_imoet_ is now known as m30 [08:29] hi, anybody can help me to see the hidden file in command line? [08:29] visf: ls -a [08:29] Does anyone know how to change the default runlevel in Hardy? [08:29] visf: ls -a [08:29] tenx: thanks [08:30] LimCore: you trying to break our necks here, right? [08:30] please stay on topic tenx [08:30] * Bodsda woot 1300!!! [08:30] how do I make fluxbox start when I login in [08:30] hello [08:30] bazhang: that _is_ on topic! [08:30] tenX: no [08:30] Bodsda: it is big, and true, sadly [08:31] Bodsda: http://pastebin.ca/1018778 [08:31] draft for bug report [08:31] LimCore, im not to savy with ssh so tenX is your friend for now [08:32] covidiu: this tool maybe help try to install it sysv-rc-conf [08:32] I don't have the .xinitrc file ... should I create it [08:32] guiest: yes [08:32] guiest: put /path/to/startfluxbox into it [08:32] mohamed_: I got it, I had to focus it in the main sound dialog. [08:33] guiest: you have to login with that user launching everything via startx then [08:33] LimCore, thats not really a bug report [08:33] when u install the update, it warns you already to recreate any keys created on a deb based machine [08:33] mohamed_: I know the tool. It's not what I need. You can only use it to determine what to run on each runlevel. You can't change the default runlevel with it. [08:33] getting java 5.0 errors when installing updates on 8.04, have java 6.0, do i need to delete java 5.0? [08:33] ok after reading the patch command istill have no idea how to patch a .diff file lol [08:34] Saint`Dia`: good that it work [08:34] GibbaTheHutt: still users do not do it. why its not a bug report? [08:34] anyone can give me a lil more clue about it? [08:34] covidiu, not meaning to be rude but google really is your friend [08:34] GibbaTheHutt: so the report is about what? instructions for the update? [08:34] Bodsda: already tried that. [08:34] you cant raise a bug report for something which people have been told to do and don't [08:34] phishie: patch -Np1 LimCore, its not a bug report because they know of the bug -- its more of a warning [08:35] covidiu: what are you looking for [08:35] ikonia, thanks, will try that now [08:35] Bodsda: users are not warned eniough about the full consequences of the bug, and what actions are mendatory to fix it [08:35] covidiu, i very much doubt that or you dont know how to use google [08:35] what bug is it?? [08:35] again, i need help with the noapic booting...it hangs when i boot it that way. [08:35] LimCore: may want to discussion this in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:35] ikonia: if thats not straightly on topic i dont know.. [08:35] LimCore, then make them aware -- put a warning on the forumsor something a bug report wont help users find out [08:35] ikonia: #ubuntu-bugs if at all [08:36] tenX: discussing a users awareness of bugs [08:36] LimCore: maybe [08:36] ikonia: so its just about users awareness? not about the actual fix? [08:36] Bodsda: care to show off your google skills? The thing is, I already tried creating an /etc/inittab and it didn't work on Hardy. It used to work on previous Ubuntu releases. And that's the only thing you'll find with Google. [08:36] tenX: yes, hence why I said you may want to look at ubuntu-offtopic to progress the discussion [08:37] ikonia: puh, thx [08:37] covidiu: upstart.ubuntu.com [08:37] tenX: puh ? [08:37] covidiu, i got loadsa hits with "howto change default run level ubuntu" and if its something changed in this release why not ask in #ubuntu-devs [08:37] Bodsda, what are you trying to achieve ? [08:37] Bodsda: it's been a change scince 6.10 with upstart [08:38] sorry covidiu [08:38] GibbaTheHutt, not me covidiu -- change default run level [08:38] ikonia: in my mind i was recreating certs and host keys on severeal systems another time [08:38] ikonia, see my post to GibbaTheHutt ;~) [08:38] tenX: yup, thats totally support, but the ongoing dicussion about "how to alert users" wasn't [08:39] ikonia: totally support? [08:39] tenX: as in relevant to this channel [08:39] tenX, it is support [08:39] please continue elsewhere tenX thanks [08:39] getting java 5.0 errors when installing updates on 8.04, have java 6.0, do i need to delete java 5.0? [08:39] to make that CLEAR - that bug doesnt refer to implementation but to user information [08:39] tenX: I think this chan is only for support, and discussion on development of ubuntu is on for example #ubuntu-bugs or ubuntu brainstorm www [08:40] sorry guys [08:40] so then do I reboot or just log back in? [08:40] covidiu, still not sure why u want to change the default runlevel, what you are trying to achieve as there may be a better alternative [08:40] it just bothers me so much :/ [08:40] i'll move [08:40] tenX: Im discussing it a bit in #ubuntu-bugs and will report to proper place on www so that devels may do that :) [08:40] GibbaTheHutt: I want to move X to runlevel 3 (and make it default) and leave 2 as an X-less multiuser console. [08:41] LimCore: thx for your information :) [08:41] covidiu, editing run levels is different from changing the default and probably quite difficult [08:41] not to mention, runlevels don't mean a whole lot in ubuntu [08:42] Daisuke_Ido, not to ubuntu but to the kernel [08:42] just upgraded to heron - nice speed bump, and no problems - very nice! [08:42] Bodsda: once I make 3 the default, it's just a matter of removing gdm from 2. So it's not all that difficult. [08:42] covidiu, why would you want to change them? [08:43] So then I log back in to use fluxbox [08:43] covidiu: look at /etc/event.d/rc-default [08:44] covidiu: you'll see it wants to see the inittab, and if none is found or usable it will default to 2 [08:44] Ok, I'll have a look. [08:44] covidiu: I picked that up from about 2 minutes reading tha man page and say 2 minutes reading the URL I posted you [08:45] does anyone know how to go about getting audio working in hardy server? [08:45] mattster: what do you want to do [08:45] does anyone have half life 2 or portal working in wine with hardy? [08:45] ikonia: Yeah, I'm sure you did. So what is this channel for then? "Stay on topic" and "google is your friend"? I thought the Ubuntu community was supposed to be helpful. [08:46] ikonia: use my headphones [08:46] hey, i have no CD drive, i want to install xubuntu using a boot floppy and a usb 1.1 disk, is this possible? [08:46] I can't the path or startfluxbox [08:46] of* [08:46] covidiu: no, I posted the URL and suggested you read it, it was the ubuntu-specific-upstart info [08:46] i'd like to buy new laptop that is 100% ubuntu compatible, can you give me suggestion what to buy ? [08:46] covidiu: I was highlighting that if you'd read it your understand it [08:46] !topic | covidiu [08:46] covidiu: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [08:46] .topic [08:46] covidiu: this is also community support - it's the middle of the night, and you're lucky that there was someone here that actually had the answer you were looking for. [08:46] covidiu: I didn't tell you to "google" I provided you with a solid link information which you chose not to read yet [08:47] hey, i have no CD drive, i want to install xubuntu using a boot floppy and a usb 1.1 disk, is this possible? [08:47] only here is the moorning :) [08:47] ikonia: just not sure where pulseaudio, alsa, etc fit into wanting basic audio support for vlc and mplayer [08:47] ikonia, it was me who told him to google [08:47] mattster: and this is on a server install ? [08:47] mohamed_: same here. it's uggly and warm [08:48] hi [08:48] mohamed_: yeah, it's not the middle of the night a lot of places, but it's a lot less active right now than normal [08:48] i'd like to buy new laptop that is 100% ubuntu compatible, can you give me suggestion what to buy ? [08:48] ikonia: yeah. i like a minimal development environment, with a few extras, all of which i have working except audio [08:48] ofcourse Daisuke_Ido [08:48] mattster: so what does alsamixer show as the status of your audio devices [08:48] i just want to say that im new using ubuntu linux and im very very happy with it..the only problem i have until now is my wireless support on my notebook [08:48] there's no need for sound mattster [08:48] !hcl | obta1n also check system76.com [08:48] obta1n also check system76.com: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [08:49] obta1n, dell ship laptops with ubuntu pre-installed they would be 'compatible' === BrokenShadow is now known as Effex [08:49] tenX: he "wanted" sound [08:49] obta1n: pick up a dell laptop with ubuntu preinstalled, or check out system76, i hear good things about s76, and own a dellbuntu [08:50] hi [08:50] ikonia: sry for spamming :-s [08:50] I can't the path of startfluxbox [08:50] hi @ all [08:50] can anyone help me installing my wlan card? on my hp notebook? [08:50] guiest: there might be an additional package? just a guess [08:50] guiest: thats a script, I'm not shure that ships with fluxbox, I thought that was part of distro packaging (I could be wrong - thats not fact) [08:50] where did the menu for selecting the monitor go? can i reinstall it? i dont want to configure 5 CRT monitors manually...

[08:59] ikonia: it's a server ikonia [09:00] babolat: well, it should be on the CD then, but as a secondary quesiton, is there a specific reason your using a server install ?

[09:35] icewaterman: in the repo's or the description in synaptic [09:35] Uda: are you trying to do killall wget in a shell script, or direct from cron [09:35] Uda: tried running it as "gnome-terminal -x killall wget" .. not sure about the -x switch [09:36] gnuskool: 2.4.1 [09:36] i still can't make my DNS changes permanent.. nameservers simply ignore the edits i did in dhclient.conf.. is there a way to override my ISP's useless nameservers in favor of OpenDNS?

[09:41] Ububegin: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-generic this will install virtualbox for you [09:41] what exactly that is?

[09:42] i am root user and trying to access a folder, /etc/shells i get a permision denied how come ? [09:42] SmokeyD: Vista has something.. working with usb drives.. usb ready boot or similar [09:42] debugging-debs! [09:42] ikonia: the problem is, that openssl stuff and apps using it were generating keys that are highly predictable. and after the openssl update is create all keys again, now i am unsure whether i have to start that all over again or not [09:42] nm ;) [09:42] because the original fix might not have been a fix at all [09:42] Slart: yeah, that is what I heard and then somebody said that you can already use this since a long time on linux [09:42] SmokeyD: sounds interesting.. let us know if you find anything [09:42] ok, sure [09:42] :) [09:42] Ububegin: i'm sorry wasn't concentrate here made some work [09:43] SmokeyD: not possible on linux so far, and stupid to do imho too [09:43] you can never fake RAM [09:43] adred: consult mohamed_ , seems like he's quite knowledgeable in virtualbox... cheers [09:44] is a BIN file like a DEB file? im downloading Google Earth right now, and am unsure if it needs compilimg [09:44] wols_: u can buy it in chinatown [09:44] wols_: well, yeah I agree. I know someone who has an old laptop which he wants to use with Xubuntu. Expanding RAM there is not an option (to old/expensive) so I was wondering if I could fire it up with an usb pen drive [09:44] Ububegin: is not much knowledge but at least it working here [09:44] I have a package installed in my system but I want to download the .deb file, as well. sudo apt-get -d install packagename does not work, because the package is already installed.

[09:47] wols_: Yea but what does it do? [09:47] babolat: i've run the last couple of versions of ubuntu without trouble, it freezes and requires a hard reboot [09:47] it creates a kernel .deb [09:47] umm i think i made a mistake, i entered "apt-get install gedit" and it did a whole bunch of things, what did i just do ? [09:47] apt-cache show kernel-package [09:47] smokeyD: what should i look for in that? [09:47] dj_hamsta: you installed gedit and all its needed dependencies [09:47] the last entry [09:47] wols_: Yea but I can do that anyway through "make-kpkg --initrd --revision=386 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image" [09:47] SmokeyD: there won't be any about the crash [09:48] mohamed_ : yup. but i dont how to acces my linux folders from guest OS. i needs some configuration but i dont know how... [09:48] if the machine has crashed how would it write a log entry about it? [09:48] wols_: ok, hmm, of course, after you reboot old stuff is gone I guess [09:48] adred: either guest extensions/additions or via network shares like samba [09:48] everything freezes as it is [09:48] SmokeyD: no was never there [09:48] ok? [09:48] and the old stuff still exists since it has been written to disk [09:49] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4110 [09:49] alex_: sorry, then I don't know :) [09:49] adred: read this if you find what you search for http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_HOWTOS [09:49] i tried guest addtions it didn't work. when i click guest addtion nothing happens [09:49] I just made a backup of a DVD i own. It plays fine in linux, but my windows PC sees it as a blank disk. Any idea what might be causeing this? [09:49] everybody [09:49] help me out [09:50] SmokeyD: ok, thanks anyway. is there no way i can determine the cause, or any remedies i could try? [09:50] dabbill: wrong filesystem maybe? [09:50] mohamed_i tried guest addtions it didn't work. when i click guest addtion nothing happens [09:50] mohamed_ ok thanks [09:50] hello..any one understand dhcp/pxe to help out with an issue with delay related to dhcpoffers? [09:50] anyone know how to setup a 3d on a ati video card [09:50] aircrack is making my laptop crash [09:50] what can I do [09:50] alex_:see the link from babolat: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4110 [09:50] is there a way to recover a deleted file from ext3 filesystem ? a guy in my company accidently did "rm -fr /" [09:50] guys, if NFS server accidently shutdown, does NFS client would hang ? [09:50] wols_: about the BIN file question. it says i ain't got an app to work the file with [09:51] SmokeyD, babolat, thanks [09:51] wols_, useing dvd95, dont look like there is an option for changing the filesystem === lkthomas_ is now known as lkthomas [09:51] why is ubottu not catching launchpad links' info anymore? [09:51] !recover | avi_me [09:51] avi_me: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [09:52] babolat: I told you you have to make it executable [09:52] wols_: i did [09:52] stdin, thanks [09:52] babolat: it never did answers.l.n links [09:52] babolat: then you simply start it "file.bin" [09:52] how did you set it executable? [09:52] even when it freezes, ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing [09:53] alex_: your CPU is frozen, it won't do anything anymore until you reboot [09:53] wols_: Properties > Permissions tab > allow executing file as program [09:53] In a panel, how do I add the "running in the background" icon bar? [09:53] (I deleted the default ubuntu panel) [09:53] babolat: check if +x is set with ls -al [09:53] very frustrating, keen for any suggestions [09:54] hello everyone [09:54] wols_: +x ? [09:54] alex_: try different kernel parameters, check temperatures of hardware, try another OS (Live CD) and stress test it [09:54] babolat: yes [09:54] !permissions | babolat [09:54] babolat: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [09:54] wols_: hate to be the newbie here. i dunno what that is [09:54] a google search for this particular card reader unveils nothing, apart from the fact it sports a badge saying "designed for win xp/vista" [09:54] wols_, the system type for the disk is udf .. [09:55] dabbill: that's the proper one for DVD [09:55] but hey, everything's got a sticker like that on the box [09:55] babolat: "-rwxr-xr-x 12 klingens klingens 448 2007-12-28 20:23 file.bin" [09:55] babolat: see the x there? [09:55] wols_ sorry i don't really understand, how do i try different kernel parameters, i know the hardware itsself is ok from running other versions of ubuntu and running windows [09:55] hi, I'm running irssi trough a screen. I'm at work at the moment and useing putty. for somereason all the act (window list): is in the same color so i can't se where new msg are added. what could be the problem? the themirssi theme or maby putty? [09:55] degrit: lsusb. [09:56] wols_: ? ? ? [09:56] wols_ ? [09:56] alex_: thing like noacpi noapic etc. set via kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:56] how can i change the password for a user in proftpd ? [09:56] avi_me: I used some tool the other day but I forgot which. I will look it up [09:56] degrit: to check the device. also check your kernel.logs (dmesg) [09:56] in the mean time: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [09:57] dj_hamsta: depends how proftpd does its auth. by default: system accounts [09:57] SmokeyD, I saw this link but it looks very complicated... [09:57] avi_me: it might be indeed [09:57] i installed ubuntu via wubi. how do i put my ubuntu on a real partition? [09:57] yit41: reinstall [09:58] wols_, the dvd wont play in a DVD player or on windows, but linux reads it just fine. Any other ideas what might be going on. Just a few days ago it was burning them just fine. [09:58] wols_: everything looks quite relevant, albeit I don't know what it all means :) [09:58] avi_me: but I had an easier tool which I am search for now [09:58] SmokeyD, did you try foremost ? [09:58] SmokeyD, k thks [09:58] that was it [09:58] :) [09:58] foremost [09:58] :) [09:58] SmokeyD: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:58] that work perfectly [09:58] wols_: other than that? is there any way that i could just keep everything? [09:58] the only thing was that it doesn't restore filenames and stuff [09:58] but it did restore a lot [09:59] i'm back, in crashed just then, sometimes when it crashes the screen isn't frozen as it was, but goes completely white [09:59] I accidentally formatted a whole ext3 partition (quick format so only partition entry was removed in the partition table) [09:59] it recovered many GB of data [09:59] yit41: make a backup and restore it again [10:00] SmokeyD: since ext3 zeroes inodes, you can't undelete [10:00] wols_: dragging the bin and dropping the darn thing into a terminal WORKED [10:00] wols_: hmmm... fair enough. how can i improve my ubuntu's boot time/startup time? [10:01] wols_: ok, that is with the rm command. I guess it worked for me since I just formatted the drive [10:01] yit41, first run the kernel in profiling mode once [10:01] yit41, did? [10:01] only the partition table was b0rked, not the actual data [10:01] clusty: err.. i dont know what is profiling mode [10:01] and kernel.. [10:01] yit41: make it load less crap when booting :) [10:02] how do i make that? [10:02] What ip should i use in the virtual box if i want to connect to my ftp server running on the same machine ? [10:02] yit41, when grub is booting press "e" to edit the boot line [10:02] douye: depends how you did the networking [10:03] yit41, where you see some stuff like splash add "profile" (without "") [10:03] wols_: how ya mean? what network card or.. ? [10:03] so in my case it wouldnt work , since it was rm -rf [10:03] there are several ways to do networking with VMs [10:03] yit41, then press b to really boot. this will grind disk and figure out what files are being loaded and they get precached [10:03] NAT, bridged, etc [10:04] yit41, once you reach the login screen reboot [10:04] and boot normally [10:04] wols_: ah NAT i thought [10:04] clusty: that seems very complicated [10:04] yit41, dud you are dealing with linux [10:04] yit41, its a g33k OS [10:04] douye: nat gets its IP via dhcp iirc [10:04] yit41, you can't make it faster without know what you are doing [10:05] clusty: it'S the same for windosw or any OS [10:05] wols_, Brasero for some reason wont read it as well, when tryin to make a ISO of the burned copy it says Status: the medium is not writable for the source to copy. [10:05] yit41, bear with it, learn the ropes and then fiddle with it [10:05] wols_: so its not a static ip ? [10:05] clusty: lol guess i'm not geek enough. is there anyway like linux version of msconfig or something? [10:05] douye: usually not with NAT [10:05] yit41, you get lots of that stuff in gnome [10:06] wols_: atm im just using my ip ubuntu gets from the network to connect.. but that means i cant do it locally [10:06] wols_: if I understand http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html correctly, you can undelete files on ext3, you just can't recover the filenames, file structure and such, but the actual data can still be recovered with grep if the blocks are not overwritten in the mean time [10:06] how can i remove a pacakge without dependecy check ? [10:06] yit41, funny_circle->system->administration [10:06] and that is what foremost does as far as I know [10:06] yit41, just make sure you aint borking everything. google around to see what does each thing do [10:07] ok [10:07] it scans all the blocks for specific patterns which correspond to know file types. [10:07] wols_: so i should use a other networking method ? (mostlikely bridge ?) then it will have a static ip i can use to locally connect to it ? [10:08] avi_me: I would indeed try foremost and http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [10:08] gparted [10:08] who farted? [10:08] haha [10:08] douye: you can already set a static IP probably, but why? [10:09] wols_ : sorry to bother but could you look if you can make anything of this ? http://pastebin.org/36072 [10:09] just make it in the same subnet as the current host and guest ips [10:09] how can i remove a package without dependency check ? [10:09] ok , thanks , i am just backing up the partition now before files are overwritten... [10:10] degrit: not really. not all card readers always work :( [10:10] wols_: that works aswell i guess, aslong as i can acces my ftp locally :) [10:10] HOw come dpkg-configure xserver-xorg doesnt have resolution options?? [10:10] adughep: you can use dpkg, but it's not good to do so. cause from then on every apt based program you will run will complain and not work anymore [10:10] Quintin: try -plow [10:10] wols_: but how can i check then what ip my ubuntu uses locally with the virtualbox ? [10:11] wols_: -plow? :S [10:11] douye: ifconfig [10:11] Quintin: it's a dpkg-reconfigure option, read the manpage [10:11] wols_: is it then the vent0 addapter ? [10:11] avi_me: good plan. I made an image of the harddrive with dd and did all the recovery on that image. I left the original harddrive alone in case I messed things up (any more than I already had) [10:11] wols_, yes i want with dpkg and i know what i am doing :) ..is just removing open-ssh client removes ubuntu-desktop too [10:11] douye: probably. never ran vbox under a linux host [10:11] Quintin i think after 7.04 it changed...whatever u add in xorg doesnt acctually affect xserver [10:11] adughep: irrelevant. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package [10:11] and i am better off with this bad dependenci [10:12] and ssh is always good [10:12] so is 804 like absolute complete and total utter CRAP? [10:12] hey guys [10:12] adughep: you will have to remove ubuntu-desktop if you want it or not [10:12] http://www.dasdeutschlandspiel.de/index.php?page=beg.php&id=4410 [10:12] !ops please remove halloman [10:12] Hey I don't know if this is the right place to ask but: [10:12] wols_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:12] cause I just spent about 3 hours installing it on a latitude C600 , and nothing works [10:13] wols_: ah cool it works, thx :) [10:13] my window decorations have no close, max, minimize [10:13] yea same here [10:13] wols_, i know i always like to remove the package as i want ... i prefer to fix broken dependencies then to remove something i dont want to [10:13] is not always ubuntu-desktop [10:13] only 7.04 and less works [10:13] i just forgot the dpkg --nodeps option [10:14] I downloaded GParted Live from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and burned it to a disc. Then when I booted off it I couldn't access GParted from whatever booted up. [10:14] deltaslaya: maybe ask gparted people about their software, not us? [10:14] wols_, strange in many articles on debian packages none says about removing it with no dependency check [10:15] anyone using webmin here with Hardy? [10:15] adughep: cause it's a quite bad thing to do [10:15] !webmin [10:15] 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. [10:15] Yea I know but there is noone in the GParted channel, thought someone here might know how to use it. [10:15] wols_: that didn't give me option to fix resolution [10:15] gparted comes in live cd ubuntu [10:15] wols_, eh neah i dont think so ..if i know exactly what package can do [10:15] wols - thanks [10:15] !ebox [10:15] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [10:15] avi_me: I don't know if it is usefull in your case but you could also look at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [10:16] omg [10:16] So I can boot off the Live CD and get GParted? How do I do that? [10:16] ships with a beta web browser [10:16] it gets better and better [10:16] quintin im telling you u cant....it want you to use aticonfig or some crap of that nature.. xorg conf wont do sheat [10:16] wols_, so what was it dpkg -P --no-deps or ? [10:16] someone had problems with installation of mysql in ubuntu 8.04? [10:16] adughep: that or some --force option [10:17] i can't start mysql using /etc/init.d/mysql start [10:17] there is a root user now?! [10:17] hydra__: what do logs say? [10:17] !root [10:17] 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 [10:17] if I try manually, I get The file /usr/sbin/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable [10:17] hydra__: dpkg -l |grep mysql |grep server [10:18] !gparted | deltaslaya [10:18] deltaslaya: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [10:18] avi_me: one mor tip (I just found the bookmarks I made last time): http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-recovery/ [10:18] mysql-server 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 [10:18] wols_: why does root have a homedir then? [10:18] mysql-server-5.0 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 [10:18] installed. [10:18] Oh is the tuxfamily version different to the one on sourceforge? [10:18] hey, for some reason on my fresh install gnome is acting odd when i open any application it takes over the main top window i.e. the application / system etc menu at the top changes to the file, edit etc window of the application i haev to close the application as i can't actually move it or anything even though it's not fully expanded [10:18] Quintin: cause programs who run under root maybe need one? [10:19] deltaslaya: It shouldn't be, why? [10:19] Well I can't do anything on the one I got from sourceforge [10:19] SmokeyD, thanks - that last one looks interesting... [10:19] so someone please tell me if 804 release is supposed to even work [10:19] deltaslaya: Does the LiveCD not work? [10:19] Quintin: 8.04 has worked great for me...why? [10:20] from sourceforge, not well for me [10:20] wols_: ? [10:20] ghindo: it's useless so far for me. all kinds of bugs [10:20] avi_me: yeah it does but I don't know how good it is. I am a little sceptic since it claims to recover all your files while the point of wols_ that the inodes are deleted in ext3 makes me doubt that it can actually recover files deleted with rm [10:20] It is version 0.3.6-7, the one I downloaded and the linked one on tuxfamily are 0.3.4-10 [10:20] hydra__: what you gave is not the exact output [10:21] when i use my lcd via DVI it seems to keep it at 640x480 for some reason [10:21] and scale the res within it [10:21] deltaslaya: Maybe it was a bad burn? [10:21] No it happened twice. [10:21] It boots into X or something and then says no monitor is found? [10:22] ? [10:22] It's not actually called LiveCD when you download it, its just Live. [10:22] Can anyone suggest an ultra small linux distro that can play commercial DVDs? [10:22] But the one on the other site looks more promising. [10:22] How to get ip from particular DHCP server? We have more than one DHCP servers running in our network. [10:22] deltaslaya: it doesn't matter. it'S not ubuntu so OT here [10:22] mip_: dhclient might have an option for it [10:23] I'm using it for Ubuntu partitions? [10:23] mip_: but you are not supposed to have more than one unless the servers work together [10:23] SmokeyD, ok , i'm done backing up , will try foremost and then revert to harder possibilities.. [10:23] greets gents. i have two servers which dont have ftp on them. i need to copy a folder via SCP from one to the other. the folder unfortunately has symbolik links which recersively reference itself. [10:23] deltaslaya: but your problem is with a gparted live cd, NOT ubuntu [10:23] avi_me: good luck [10:23] deltaslaya: You might not have to use the liveCD, then...have you tried using one within Ubuntu? [10:23] has any1 got a one-liner for me to do this? [10:24] Quintin: Pretty much any linux distro can play commercial DVDs... [10:24] Yes, the GParted package within Ubuntu doesn't let me change any existing, or mounted partitions. [10:24] deltaslaya: Okay, gotcha [10:24] The one suggested by the ubuntu bot has a file called gparted in the iso the last one didn't? [10:25] mip_: I think that is something that should probably be taken care of serverside... you could have them serving on different ports and then tell dhclient to use whichever port the server you want is using... [10:26] Hi is the SSH advisory fully sorted out now? The openssl related updates that came through the other didn't seem to mention the advisory explicitly in the changes. [10:28] Hello , I have installed latest driver and ubuntu 8.04 . I would like to switch powerstate automatic when change the power source battery or AC. I configured /etc/default/fglrx file and automatic switch between powerstates are working. The problem is If I start my laptop on Battery power , power state looks default mode, not low power. IS there any way or script for that on boot?? [10:28] munckfish: use ssh-vulnkey and replace offending keys. [10:28] hi, where can i find apache2 conf file in ubuntu? [10:28] void^: thx [10:28] visf: /etc/apache2/ [10:29] visf /etc/apache2/apache.con /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, etc [10:29] *apache.conf [10:29] hydra__: don't PM. check your logfiles, syslog and mysql logs [10:29] Has anyone really NOT liked the 804 release? [10:29] Quintin: usually tons of people don't when a new release comes out [10:29] Quintin: no :) [10:29] hi can someone help me create a ftp or web server where people can connect and download files directly from my computer instead of me burning dvds ? [10:29] wols & smokeyD: thanks [10:30] penegaul: setup a webserver (Apache) [10:30] my experience is it always takes the ubuntu folks a bit to fix various (small) problems when a new release comes out [10:30] usually takes a month or two [10:30] wols_: man, are you ok? i already told you the error I was getting. [10:30] penegaul: apt-get install apache2 [10:30] wols_: examples of things people are upset with? [10:30] and I suppose you're not suggesting a copy/paste in the channel... [10:31] !pastebin [10:31] 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) [10:31] I'm burning an alternate install image now [10:31] last try before I say screw it [10:31] hardy heron (or maybe newest samba) has a bug. when i try to overwrite a file on samba share, it errors network permission denied, i have to delete first the file then paste the file [10:31] I just want a laptop that plays DVDs for my girlfriend to take on her trip :\ [10:31] Quintin: dunno about hardy in particular. I just remember how it was with pretty much all ubuntu versions before now [10:32] penegaul: see http://www.lullabot.com/node/289/play http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch20_:_The_Apache_Web_Server [10:34] wols_: are you using 804? [10:34] Hi, what's the best way to persist iptables/firewall settings on ubuntu server? [10:34] SmokeyD: im new to linux and ubuntu .. i dont understand most of the stuff there :( [10:34] HI, does anyone know an alternative way of creating a PPTP network connection without using NetworkManager? [10:34] Quintin, what actual problem are you getting ? [10:35] penegaul: see the first link [10:35] that one is really simple [10:35] GibbaTheHutt: wayyyyy too many [10:35] like what ? [10:35] penegaul: it is a movie that takes you through every step of setting up a website, including mysql and drupal (which two you don't need to just host files) [10:35] just hard for people to help without specific errors etc [10:36] Quintin: no [10:36] HI, does anyone know an alternative way of creating a PPTP VPN connection without using NetworkManager? [10:36] can somebody tell me what the gfxboot package does? [10:36] Radit: there is a description of it in the repo [10:36] Radit: high light it in synaptic and clicke "description" [10:37] ikonia: bootlogo creator for gfxboot compliant boot loaders [10:37] This package is needed to create the graphical boot logos for gfxboot, [10:37] introduced and developed by SuSE, it is suitable for grub, lilo and syslinux. [10:38] is there any relation between the kernel & casper package [10:38] TimothyP: I created a script /etc/firewall which contains all the iptables configuration. Then in /etc/interfaces I added pre-up /etc/firewall to the external network interface [10:38] Banshee whenever it is Syncing with my ipod to load all the songs from my libary to the ipod it crashes.. [10:38] TimothyP: see "man interfaces" [10:38] ikonia: I installed it and it does nothing [10:39] ? [10:39] penegaul: what? Be specific and as a question please. [10:39] *aks [10:40] SmokeyD thnx :) [10:40] *ask [10:40] TimothyP: np [10:40] so. And now I am off [10:40] :) [10:40] good luck everyone [10:40] :) [10:41] SmokeyD: im new to linux and ubuntu .. i dont understand most of the stuff there :( [10:42] penegaul what is the problem? [10:42] does anyone at what time 8.04 will support vmware-server again? [10:42] hi [10:42] brb [10:42] is there any method to make the movies to not be played in overlay mode? [10:42] something went wrong with the installation [10:42] When i try syncing my ipod to banshee,Banshee crashes [10:42] on an Intel graphic card [10:43] tenX the only solution seems to be using vmware-any-to-any patch but I haven't tried it, certainly not on a emt64 version [10:43] ovidiu: why don't you want to? [10:43] because when I am moving a window with compiz [10:43] the movie image doesn't move [10:43] TimothyP: i have that running but i want distro support [10:43] hello [10:44] or when I rotate the cube [10:44] the movie image doesn't "rotate" with the cube [10:44] hi - is there a good irc channel somewhere for some help with avidemux or dvd authoring? [10:44] hello ubuntu user [10:44] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I am trying to set up my Wirless Modem. it is HUAWEI ETS1001 Wirless modem but everytime I get a fail error. also, why is that when I use dmesg -c i get nothing? [10:44] is there any relation between the kernel & casper package [10:44] oh like that [10:45] man, the dutch mirrors are damn slow [10:47] hmmz, any one? [10:47] My server can kickstart the Ubuntu installation process via PXE now :D [10:47] kernel is running on live-initramfs-tools, now i installed casper it is not working ., why === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [10:48] ok, so when i boot ubuntu, and get into the GUI, its stuck on an orange screen with a wait cursor [10:48] what gives? [10:48] im havign an issue switching from VGA to DVI, it seems to set my resolution to 640x480 and make the x session scrollable to access the whole 1650x1080 [10:49] Sazpaimon: Have you tried booting into an older kernel or recovery mode from GRUB? [10:49] Never mind i got it working i just have to wipe my ipod before syncing [10:50] ghindo, those options arent available for me in GRUB [10:50] HI, does anyone know an alternative way of creating a PPTP VPN connection without using NetworkManager? [10:50] only Ubuntu and single user mode [10:50] Oh NOES! [10:50] I cant CTRL+ALT+F1 into a console to make changes and stuff [10:50] anything I can take a look at? [10:51] Sazpaimon: to be honest, I'm not really sure :/ [10:51] k [10:51] hmmz, i'm sorry for repeating my question, but why when I use dmesg -c i get nothing? [10:52] dman__ which video card? reconfigure your X. [10:54] i just tried switching to ubuntu from xp x64 and i'm really lost [10:54] IcE_^: -c clears the buffer. if there are no new messages since the last time you ran it, you won't get anything. [10:54] Gantz, What are you trying to do? [10:55] i'm trying to get comfortable with ubuntu, other than that i'm trying to get everything running correctly starting with my sound [10:55] The Trash Bin icon on my panel went missing. Adding it back via Right click > Add to Panel doesn't add it back. Nothing happens. How do I bring it back? [10:56] morning folks, is there a tool to let me migrate a live physical ubuntu server to another physical server? [10:56] void^: oh, i understand now.. I am tryng to set up my modem by configuring the USB in /etc/udev/rules.d.. how do I know that it was identified correctly since dmesg -c doesn't give anything? [10:59] hey. i've just got my broadcom chipset working with apt-get install b43-fwcutter; modprobe -r b43; modprobe b43 but i heard the new b43 module only works okay with 2.4.25 kernel otherwise i'd get transfer errors [11:00] i'm trying to mount a volume using the GUI from Nautilus [11:00] I guess i'll try kubuntu and see if I have any luck with that [11:00] I'm at the location Computer [11:00] so now when i do apt-get i get a lot of transfer errors because of incorrect hash sums and stuff [11:00] and I enter the path correctly [11:00] do i need kernel 2.6.25? [11:01] i get this error when mounting : mount_point cannot contain the following: G_DIR seperator (/) [11:01] when i try to mount using GUI [11:01] jberg- nop, you can add kernel modules by hand to any version. just compile [11:01] abhi: start gconf-editor in a terminal [11:02] abhi: go to system, storage, volumes [11:02] ok [11:02] kuri0s, yes i know. but b43 apparently doesnt work with 2.6.24 because i get transfer erros [11:02] errors [11:02] i just installed ubuntu and can't get audio through spdif [11:02] so i think i need 2.6.25 which is supposed to fix it [11:02] Slart: went [11:02] abhi: you've got a couple of folders there.. named _org_free...blablabla [11:02] hi, anyone know how use spell file in vim? [11:02] yea [11:03] but is there an easy way to get 2.6.25? can i use a config file which was used to compile 2.6.24? [11:03] Slart: yea [11:03] when I add zg it tell me"e764 option 'spellfile' is not set" [11:03] abhi: if you click on those you see they key "mountpoint" on the right hand side, right? [11:03] in vim [11:03] Slart: correct [11:03] Gantz: use alsamixer and make sure pcm is turned up [11:03] Slart: key documentation gives an error [11:03] abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys /mountpoint [11:03] abhi: I'm betting at least one of those keys (mountpoint) contain a / or something else [11:04] jberg-: weird, I normally have problems whith newer kernels because they come with newer features which driver developers don't use to expect... [11:04] abhi: might be called /media/mydisk or something like that.. right? [11:04] Slart: ok then how do i specify the mount point if not with /s? [11:04] Gantz: also if alsamixer has an iec958 device(s) play around with those [11:04] Slart: yea correct [11:04] Hi all [11:04] abhi: the gnome volume automounter doesn't want the whole path.. just the stuff after /media/ [11:04] When is 8.04 being released? [11:04] Slart: oh :) and what if i want to mount it else where? [11:05] abhi: so if the mountpoint is "bigdisk" it will be mounted in "/media/bigdisk" [11:05] TB`, its out [11:05] abhi: you can't.. afaik [11:05] cpk1: not entirely sure how to do any of that tbqh [11:05] Slart: then i'll have to change /etc/fstab correct? :) [11:05] abhi: of course you can mount your drive manually wherever you want.. but the gnome auto mounter thingy works like this === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [11:06] Gantz: open up a terminal and then run "alsamixer" left right selects which device to change, up and down lowers/raises volume or changes an option [11:06] could someone please help, ive been using google but no luck, i used to have a progy that let me access ext2 drives under xp, but i cant find it again, only a bunch of other progrs that i tried and found were, uh, .. undesireable, and deleteworthy [11:06] Gantz: pressing escape twice quits [11:06] abhi: what does your fstab look like? can you pastebin it? [11:06] !paste | abhi [11:06] abhi: 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) [11:06] cpk1: ok cool i'll try that [11:07] bouma: search for ext2fs, I'll see if i can find the link though [11:07] Slart: i think i'll just do an automount in media won't make a difference :) [11:07] Slart: thx for explaining Gnome automount to me :) [11:07] abhi: ok.. just change the mountpoint key.. just one word.. not /\., etc.. and try clicking on the drive in nautilus [11:07] bouma: http://www.fs-driver.org/ This should do it [11:07] lets say i installed proftpd and no longer like it, how can i remove it ? [11:07] Hello, I just put a DVD in my drive, and totem movie player was unable to play it. It said: "An Error Occurred: Could not read from resource" [11:07] any ideas? [11:08] Does the netboot iso contain madwifi? [11:08] Gantz: if you do have iec958 devices, mine are set to ac-link and the other 2 are at 0 volume but unmuted [11:08] DJones, right, i would rather not an installable driver, just a simple standalone exe like the last one [11:08] Ollie: installed the dvd css thingy? [11:08] nope... where do I get it? [11:08] !dvd [11:08] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [11:08] Ollie: medibuntu repos [11:08] jberg-: if you need to keep the older version for any reason, try googling for a patch [11:08] Keep getting a blue screen error, what shall I do? [11:09] Ollie: look at those links.. or try typing "!medibuntu" here in the channel.. ubotu will help you [11:09] DJones, the last one i had was something like e2fs?*? and had support for files over 2gig [11:09] TB`: blue screen error? in ubuntu? neat.. never seen that [11:09] bouma: I've not seen anything like that, I always used this, which gave the ext2 partition of drive letter [11:09] lol [11:10] Does the netboot iso contain madwifi? [11:10] Well, I've downgraded to gutsy and I'm much happier. The only thing I miss is openoffice 2.4 On the forums it doesn't seem like people have much happiness trying to get it working. Will it find it's way into backports do you think? Or should I try and install it some other way? [11:10] cpk1: doesn't seem to be doing anything [11:10] !medibuntu [11:10] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:10] judgen: I am fairly certain the kernel hardy uses has madwifi built in [11:11] DJones, right, well ive had bad experiences with drive letters that werent valid, and being offered to format them under xp, and severe stress when i let someone else use my computer lest they click yes, yes, i would like to format this ext2fs drive with all my music on it [11:11] cpk1: nice, as i prefer to do manual install of packages rather than using a full distro [11:12] hizzzzzzz [11:12] bouma: isn't there an ext2/ext3 fs driver for windows? don't know if it keeps windows from wanting to format it though [11:12] Can't do it [11:12] Slart: there was a tiny tool for that.. accessing ext fs [11:12] i seem to still be having network qos problems in ubuntu - a slowish download and some package downloads via synaptic are preventing me from using the web at all [11:13] ext2fs [11:13] Slart, ok is sounds like there is, i am just looking for a single exe standalone progy that does 2gig files, i used to have one, and im still regoogling for it [11:13] judgen: ath5k is supposed to be in 2.6, BUT it might be only in the wireless GIT so I cant be 100% sure that the hardy kernel has it [11:14] Slart: that was the link I suggested to bouma, I've not seen anything that was just an exe to access the partition [11:14] Slart, ah ok, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs [11:14] DJones, bouma: I used something when I dualbooted.. some kind of file explorer that you could use to access your ext2 driver from XP.... can't remember the name.. shareware or something [11:15] Gantz: well, it is too late for me to try to trouble shoot sound, but I remember getting my spdif to work I had to play with the iec958 devices and pcm volume [11:15] DJones, i like this, i found it again, http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs [11:15] cpk1: how would i do that then/ [11:15] bouma: thats it :) [11:16] does anyone know if i can use some config files which was used to compile the default kernel in ubuntu to compile the latest 2.6.25 kernel? [11:16] Slart: Do I need to restart the pc after installing livdvdcss2? It's installed, but totem is still giving the same error [11:16] so i dont need to configure anything, just download, load config and compile [11:16] bouma: I hadn't seen/heard of that, looks useful [11:16] Gantz: alsamixer should show all your sound devices, also whatever gnome uses for controlling sound (I dont use gnome) probably has an advanced option or something to change sound settings [11:17] Ollie: I'm not sure.. don't think so [11:17] Ollie: might be some other problem though.. you are sure the DVD is intact? no weird DRM, no scratches? [11:18] anyone know how to exit nano mode in termial? [11:18] mysticdarkhack: ctrl+x? [11:18] mysticdarkhack: I'm not sure I run the proper nano.. I think it's symlinked to something else.. perhaps pico [11:19] What's the command to upgrade just one package (+ what it needs)? [11:20] apt-get upgrade seems to try to upgrade every package [11:20] Lr5: just sudo apt-get install [11:20] Lr5: that should upgrade that single package [11:20] what I'm trying to do is exit when I was viewing man eject where is show some command back to termial [11:20] m0u5e: ok, thanks [11:20] Lr5: or if you just go into synaptic you can manually do it [11:20] Lr5: why not just upgrade all the packages? is there a bug / break? [11:20] mysticdarkhack: ah.. just 'q' then [11:21] Lr5: I suggest installing and using aptitude instead of apt-get [11:21] Lr5: updating just one package rarely works.. apt is meant to update everything.. [11:21] Lr5: why don't you want to run a regular update? [11:22] thx, still learning here and been on linux for two years now [11:22] cpk1: ive burnt it now, hope it works [11:22] mysticdarkhack: mm.. I learn new stuff every day.. been using linux for.. 4 years or so [11:22] Slart: the computer is quite old and has not enough hard disk space for all [11:23] Lr5: ouch... remove some stuff you don't need? openoffice or other big packages.. ? [11:23] Lr5: it should automatically overwrite the old packages [11:23] Slart: Lr5: with aptitude you can select and install packages individually. It also makes a good dependecies check [11:23] lr5: type sudo apt-get --purge clean to clean old packages [11:23] Lr5: also, go into package settings and set it to auto delete old packages that have been downloaded [11:23] I probably catch up and there other thing I'm learn like starting to compile kernel [11:23] Uninstalling openoffice sounds like a good idea [11:24] Lr5: how much space do you have? N:X [11:24] where can i find details about configureing a kernel? [11:24] now I hoping to remember some or most command line in linux [11:24] kuri0s: I've never understood why people prefer aptitude over apt-get.. I've never found anything I couldn't do with apt that aptitude does.. [11:24] hi [11:24] okay, firefox is being a pita [11:24] guys can i know a website for ubuntu softs [11:25] mysticdarkhack: there are some good sites out there for bash and linux command line.. [11:25] aptitude or apt it really doesn't matter [11:25] both work fine [11:25] !repos | zaffry007 [11:25] zaffry007: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[11:26] I know right, and I like linuxcommand.org if that right [11:26] Slart: I like the dependencies checking, package filtering and its efficient UI [11:26] !vm [11:26] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [11:26] !VMWare [11:27] !vmware [11:27] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[11:28] what kernel version are you using? [11:28] Hi, from time to time I hit a key combo by accident which causes Compiz to move my mouse each time I switch windows with alt tab; does someone know which combo it is? [11:29] 2.6.24-17-generic [11:29] vallhalla81: you can but if i was to setup a new server i'd still stick to 7.10 [11:29] vallhalla81: it works but you have to fool around [11:29] and there are no packages yet [11:29] what version of virtualbox are you using? [11:29] tenX: i gues i will just have to w8 [11:30] audio issues using spdif [11:30] mysticdarkhack: do you work with it alot? I never tryed, so Im curious about it... [11:30] mysticdarkhack: i tryed all the ones in the ubuntu repos [11:30] vallhalla81: thats what i'd do [11:30] anyone exprience gzip cpu usage in Hardy ? [11:30] just a remind to all, virtualbox 1.5.6 doesn't work hardy kernel but the newer version 1.6.0 does [11:31] open [11:31] go to virtualbox.org for the latest version [11:31] exit [11:31] U: (FILE, >file) [11:32] ; [11:32] does alternate install take longer than regular install? [11:32] Slart: In case anyone else asks... you need to eject + reinsert the DVD after installing libdvdcss2 for it to work! [11:32] Quintin: yeah, 5 mins and 36 secs [11:32] mysticdarkhack: will do thank you [11:32] Quintin: what a waste of time :( [11:32] Ollie: ahh.. that actually makes sense.. thanks for letting us know [11:32] hi [11:32] Ollie: it works alright now?

For example wich ethernet cards do you have inside a vmachine? [11:34] kuri0s: what is that important for? its emulation anyway [11:34] ubottu: wlasnie z nimi sie dogadac nie idzie, obracaja kota ogonem [11:34] jaki: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:35] jaki: ubottu is a bot..

[11:37] lol i se [11:38] i am using catalyst, and i enable big desktop (for dual monitors) but everytime i restart it goes back to normal mode. do i need to edit xorg.conf or something? [11:38] <_moro_bana_> i have an aver media card and want to watch tv on ubuntu, help [11:39] i think so - got into contact with dual monitors once but cant supply details [11:39] it going to be awhile that I can help everyone in here and I'm still learning here myself [11:39] _moro_bana_ i have been using a program called 'me tv' which seems to work pretty well [11:39] google for it alex_ [11:39] how do i get a list of programs that are installed ? [11:39] hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for [11:39] browse to that folder [11:39] <_moro_bana_> alex_: with the same card as mine> [11:40] I'd need some assistance. I'd have to use Audacity, and some effects are missing. Particulary the "Change pitch" effect also. I'd found out, that the problem is related to a configuration script problem. It doesn't recognize the libsndfile package as installed, so it disables the effects. I could install from CVS or source, but I don't want to break out from apt. [11:40] _moro_bana_: which card you have ? [11:40] _moro_bana_ no, sorry different card [11:40] mysticdarkhack: virtualization is expanding very fast, Im vmware professional ;) [11:40] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_L avertv hybrid +fm pci [11:41] its ok, i found an option in the main avahi config [11:41] hey guys - can anyone tell me how to unrar multi-part archives? I installed the unrar package so the Ubuntu archive manager will open rars, but it doesn't appear to be opening all the files as it's saying the size is only 300mb when it should be closer to 4.5gig [11:41] hi i am trying to install hadoop on an edgy server. hadoop requires ssh access to itself. i generated a public/private key with a blank password to allow hadoop to access ssh without me having to intervene to enter the password. i tried it on my gutsy workstation but on my edgy server it's not happening. why? [11:41] there is 1.3.5 in CVS now, in the apt tree it's 1.3.4, but some guys say that 1.3.3 also works fine. The package it problems with is installed, but is's name is not the same. [11:41] hey everyone, im setting up a home server. does anyone know if its possible to set "shared" files via http instead of smb .... if so what should i look for (edit) the point would be to allow file transfers via wget .... [11:41] Holyhandgrenade: apache will do it [11:41] Holyhandgrenade: That would be a one-direction file transfer. [11:42] hi [11:42] hi, i'm tring an application "fwtools" http://fwtools.maptools.org/ (binary package 32bit) on ubuntu server 7.10 64bit [11:42] tring gdalinfo (a coomandline of the fwtools lbrary) on a ecw file (image file), i've these message : http://rafb.net/p/c8gw7G56.html [11:42] locate libgcc_s.so.1 , give me that it is in : /lib/ [11:42] i tried : export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib but do not sove my problem [11:42] okay thanks guys [11:42] epifanio_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:42] how can i use fwtools on a 64 bit machine, i'm wrong something or i need to install otherer libraries ? [11:42] when restarting my ssh server i get "Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd " but im using ubuntu! is that ok? === fdd-0 is now known as fdd [11:42] _moro_bana_: this is DVB card ? [11:42] dj_hamsta: yes [11:42] Does anyone know how to install DC++ on Ubuntu ? [11:42] Hi termitor [11:43] dj_hamsta: openssh is part of the openbsd project [11:43] apt-get install dc++ ? [11:43] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: DVB? [11:43] epifanio_: check if it's linked against it [11:43] I tried this but it doesn't work [11:43] have to go, cul8r [11:43] Ovispain: Look for a DC client [11:43] how do i stop edgy from asking a password when i'm running hadoop? [11:44] Ovispain: open synaptic and search for dc++ there is a linux client version [11:44] newb: hadoop ? [11:44] ikonia: how can i check it? [11:44] _moro_bana_: TV standerd here different than yours, DVB is european standerd [11:44] epifanio_: ldd it i [11:44] it [11:44] ok [11:44] ikonia: yea hadoop [11:44] _moro_bana_: if this i'm using VDR for it [11:44] Could someone tell me please which apt tree is the more up-to date? Stability doesn't matters for me. [11:44] newb: I've no idea what hadoop is [11:44] ikonia: Thanks. I am going to try it right now. Be right back. [11:44] ikonia: it's a DFS [11:45] (hardy) [11:45] f1re: hardy is the most current [11:45] ikonia: never mind what hadoop is [11:45] And there aren't branches? [11:45] _moro_bana_: this card you have ?... http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/products_digitvtuner_hybridPCI.asp [11:45] I mean some tree, where [11:45] most recent (could not be tested) stuff sits. [11:45] newb: ahh it's a clueter [11:45] ikonia: but i want to know how can i prevent a shell script from requiring my intervention everytime to enter a SSH password? [11:45] f1re: hardy is the current [11:45] newb: use ssh keys [11:45] newb: ssh certs [11:45] ikonia: ok [11:46] tenX: it's keys not certs [11:46] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: well im in russia, that has to be european, but under windows i get to choose the country , the software got preconfigurations [11:46] ikonia: how could i :/ [11:46] tenX ikonia: ok so i did this ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" where i left the password blank so that i don't require to enter the password everytime [11:46] tenX: how could you what ? [11:46] then again: How could I (even low level) get Audacity to recognize libsndfile az installed? I need those effects. [11:46] ikonia: ldd libgcc_s.so.1 ? give me No such file or directory [11:46] newb: you also need the "allownullpassword" option set in the sshd_config file [11:46] ikonia: fail like that [11:46] ok [11:47] tenX: it's a simple wording error [11:47] ikonia ok [11:47] epifanio_: nah, ldd the binary [11:47] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: yes its the one [11:48] where do i find the files that i've sent to trash?

I installed the unrar package so the Ubuntu archive manager will open rars, but it doesn't appear to be opening all the files as it's saying the size is only 300mb when it should be closer to 4.5gig [11:52] babolat: I checked all the options in the preferences, don't find anything relevant on starting automatically [11:52] epifanio_: check what fwtools_env.sh does [11:52] babolat: make sure to look at hidden files as will ls -a [11:52] tenX: no - it's moved in hardy [11:52] can't anybody help me please? :( [11:53] ikonia: but a trash folder is user related?

[11:53] m1dn1ght: *gui [11:53] so I edit a file, save, compile with gcc, run it, fine. copy the source to a new name, edit it, try to compile, and get "/opt/gnu/bin/gcc: No such device or address" ...what's going on?

[11:56] epifanio_: the libaries it wants are 32bit.....you don't have them [11:56] can i install some 32 bit libraries? [11:56] Gantz: try audacious [11:56] audacious Gantz [11:56] _moro_bana_: i think there is some application also that you can access the card faster to see if it work [11:56] thanks [11:56] bazhang: jinx :D [11:56] ;] [11:56] rhythmbox in gutsy doesn't show album art anymore?

[11:58] p1: solved your problem yet? [11:58] _moro_bana_: is vdr hauppauge is my card [11:58] _moro_bana_: you search for vdr [11:58] p1: read up -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574345 and do the instructions in reverse [11:59] anybody able to help here with X11 crashing due to Fglrx? [11:59] epifanio_: no, your only using the 64bit repo's so apt won't work [11:59] epifanio_: the 32bit lib's would conflict [12:00] epifanio_: as I said, ubuntu is'n't multi-lib [12:00] ikonia: what os is? [12:00] tenX: windows [12:00] tenX: a few linux distros [12:00] ikonia: like? [12:00] tenX: most corperate unix's [12:00] ok so i can't use it (fwtools 32 bit binary) [12:00] epifanio_: thats the sort version, yes [12:00] short [12:00] could someone suggest a good room for printing problems?

Can anyone help [12:02] caitlin: same as x86 - 2.6.24-16 is current [12:02] but I want the best os with the best gui apps for system configuration and package management [12:02] ikonia: the standard kernel fails to load. it panics. [12:02] spaceninja: you'll miss encryption and key generation tools, wubi and a few other things. [12:03] caitlin: why ? [12:03] CatCheeto: what is the exact error [12:03] how much better is ubuntu compared with opensuse and fedora?

I closed the terminal it was running in, and now I have no audio. Any ideas? [12:05] caitlin: ok, so the installer runs ok, but the installed system fails to boot ? [12:05] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: its the second in the list i suppose looking at the inputs stated there [12:06] spaceninja: ubuntu, mint, pclinuxos, mepis, fedora.. they're all good choices really. Just get a virtual machine ready and try them all. [12:06] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i have audio, svideo, antenna, fm inputs [12:06] !mint [12:06] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [12:06] YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: I have a post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4933232#post4933232, re: Drive /dev/hdg does not contain audio files. Can anyone help? [12:06] yep thanks [12:07] _moro_bana_: antenna for analog TV or digital ? [12:07] labinnsw: typing in caps is more likley to get you ignored that get attention [12:07] actually #linuxmint isn't the support channel for mint. It's on irc.spotchat.org. [12:07] labinnsw: also, you've posted on the forum, if no-one in here can help, wait for someone to respond to the forum post [12:08] hi [12:08] I just installed ubuntu from an old live cd I have, version 4.01 - I need the root password so I can get root access. I have looked on the documentation but I think it may be out of date [12:08] passwd is not working [12:08] any help? [12:08] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: is that german, antenna for analog, but the manual showed the same input for analog and digital [12:08] designerman: ubuntu doesn't use a root password [12:08] hello [12:08] Hello everybody. [12:08] !root > designerman check out the pm from ubottu [12:09] _moro_bana_: yes is German and there is english version [12:09] hmmm... can't find any bug reports. I wonder if the site it gets the album art from is just temporarily down [12:09] Which is good IDE for Ubuntu? [12:09] ikonia: Your responses might not be pleasant or in the ubuntu spirit or philosophy, but it is the only ones I have received till now. [12:09] rabspd: for what languages [12:09] rabspd: depends what you want to do [12:09] Hi, i set the resolution on the tv out to high, so my tv says out of range. The thing is that i managed to press keep settings. Can i manually edit what resolution the TV uses? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but no result [12:09] Has anyone learned anything about audio suddenly ceasing to work in Hardy after closing mplayer? [12:09] C/C++/PHP etc [12:09] labinnsw: my responses are in the ubuntu spirit of politly telling you the answer [12:10] ikonia: ye mine does have a password as when I try nothing I get told I can't authenticate [12:10] rabspd: eclipse seems to be the standard [12:10] ikonia: for C/C++ [12:10] rabspd: C/C++ and PHP are very differentIDEs [12:10] emma: ctrl+alt+backspace :) [12:10] designerman: the password is not "nothing" [12:10] hey designerman >>>. [12:10] are still here [12:10] for php I'd say eclipse PDT [12:10] snowolf, not helpful [12:10] ikonia: what is it then? [12:10] designerman: there is no root password [12:10] designerman: you use sudo, nothing else [12:10] wols_> is it different from eclipse? [12:10] designerman: did you read the pm ubottu sent you [12:10] ikonia: how do I log in as root, I type su and press enter [12:10] ikonia: there is. there just is no root account you can log into :) [12:10] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: oh i forgot , thats wikipedia, silly me,im setting up vdr , what is terrestial(dvb card type) [12:10] ikonia: Sorry, just realised I need to go look up the meaning of polite [12:11] !root | designerman [12:11] designerman: 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 [12:11] designerman: no, did you read the pm ubottu sent you [12:11] rabspd: yes. PDT is a eclipse plugin [12:11] wols_: pardon ? [12:11] ikonia: grep root /etc/shadow. there you see your root pw :P [12:11] wols_: ha ha. [12:11] _moro_bana_: terrestial is DVB-T this is i think what you have [12:11] wols_: I know there is a root password [12:11] wols_: thats not what i have read, i have read that there is a root account but no password [12:12] zChris: it's a play on words [12:12] !ot [12:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:12] zChris: there is no "known" root password [12:12] * emma *smiles* [12:12] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i can also try satellite, my friend got a cable here [12:12] root simply has no shell, that's all [12:12] _moro_bana_: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page this is the english wiki [12:12] which IDE is best for C/C++? [12:12] a while ago, switching virtual terminals stopped working for me. now when I type ctrl-[1..6] i just get a black screen. i tried googling it and found some stuff about removing vga=791 from my menu.lst but I don't have it anyway. can this be fixed? [12:13] some like eclipse, some kdevelop, some rawhide, etc [12:13] rabspd: eclipse [12:13] wols_: it certainly does have a shell (root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash) [12:13] wols_: back at you for picking up on my wording ;) [12:13] ikonia, i thought i read the root password was ! as no password wouldnt be acceptable but ! is an unexceptable charcter or summit stupid like that [12:13] ikonia: then why can't you log in as root? [12:13] wols_: you don't know the root password [12:13] wpk: does eclipse have WYSIWYG plugin for HTML? [12:13] wols_: you can if you change the root password [12:13] wols_, you can if you define the root password [12:13] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: thanks a lot for the info, im getting to work now [12:13] _moro_bana_: the steps is to be sure that driver already installed then install vdr and scann channels to have the correct channels.conf then you can try vdr but maybe this is the complex method , the simple way is to try it with kaffiene or vlc [12:13] Bodsda: :D [12:14] ikonia: I should sleep more. mea culpa [12:14] lol [12:14] hi there, why isn't my CAcert root CA available in firefox although i enabled it through the package ca-certificates? [12:14] wols_: I was only picking on you to get you back [12:14] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: oh, ok [12:14] !offtopic [12:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:14] ikonia: no, I'm a moron and talked crap. I need a nap [12:14] wols_, ikonia, elsewhere. :-D [12:14] can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart [12:15] Is there a way of editing the files 'gnome-display-properties' uses manually? Or just change them in a terminal way? [12:15] jo4: thats a bit of a tricky question [12:15] display would mean xorg [12:15] jo4: xorg.conf controls the xserver info, gnome controls the desktop setup based on partly what xorg does and part use config, it's not really held in a config file for gnome [12:15] but im sure the app uses many other conf files aswell [12:16] isn't firefox using the certificate storage of ubuntu? [12:16] ikonia, not even the actual resolution? [12:16] jo4: the resolution is set via xorg at boot time, gnome allows you to interact with it to configure it on the fly [12:17] I had issues with my network due to ufw all along... how can I use ufw and allow a certain ip to run? [12:17] jo4: gnome actually doesn't control the resolution [12:17] jo4: I appricaite I'm explaining it, in on the most straight forward way [12:17] gronne: ufw ? [12:18] uncomplicated firewall [12:18] how do I get devilspie to open a window in the lower right hand corner? it seems to only move them to the upper left [12:18] gronne: ufw is just a front end to iptables [12:18] ikonia, yeah, your doing a good job ;D but each user has a resolution setting, right? cause when i log into my own user at this laptop i get the right resolution at the right screen [12:18] gronne: you just need to make accept rules for the firewall, thats it [12:18] can anyone help me, when i enable 'big-desktop' mode in ati's catalyst program when it restarts it changes back to clone desktop every time i restart [12:18] jo4: the resoution should be global, unless a user made changes to his GNOME (not X) session [12:18] does hardy have builtin firewall? [12:18] ikonia: yeah, sure... but isn't it only for ports? well, I try then... [12:19] rabspd: no, it has iptables built in, but not enabled, you have to configure it [12:19] gronne: no, iptables deals with much more than ports [12:19] ikonia, so i should go to #gnome and ask? cause it's set in the 'Screen Resolution' thingy [12:19] <_moro_bana_> mohamed_: i have kaffeine installed, its a music player [12:19] ok... so I will try to write ufw allow 192.168.0.3 and it should work I hope... [12:19] ikonia how to configure, is there any tutorial? [12:20] jo4: system --> preferences --> screen resolution will set it on a per user bassis [12:20] rabspd: www.netfilter.org [12:20] ikonia: thanks [12:20] _moro_bana_: we can talk in side talking , to not make the room here crowded :) [12:20] Love is in the air [12:20] hi all! [12:21] ikonia: I did as I wrote... but It said ERROR:Bad port [12:21] ikonia: what about firestarter? [12:21] zChris, not in here please [12:21] !info firestarter > emma [12:21] rabspd: thats just another front end [12:21] ikonia, yeah, maybe should have mentioned that when i asked, sorry :p but i mean, it has to save settings in a file. cause the setting persists over reboots [12:21] what's the X geometery for the lower right hand corner? [12:21] jo4: those settings are in memory, but should be stored in the gconf database [12:21] !ot > bazhang [12:21] rabspd, there is a really good gui for configuring your firewall called Firestarter [12:21] rabspd - type: sudo apt-get install firestarter [12:22] emma: I have done it. [12:22] rabspd, okay good :) [12:22] Then just start firestarter [12:22] emma: but still unknown how to configure it? [12:23] emma: started [12:23] emma: then? [12:23] rabspd: be very careful what you do, as this is just an interface to iptables, so any crashes mid configuration will leave you in a unusable / locked out state [12:23] ikonia: It said Bad port when I entered "ufw allow 192.168.0.3" [12:23] ikonia, any way to run gconf-editor on ssh? :p or can you tell me where the data bases are located? [12:23] jo4: use gconftool-2 [12:23] rabspd, you wish to read some info in iptables first [12:23] jrib: thank you [12:23] jo4: ssh -X user@server , then launch gconf-editor [12:23] yah [12:24] gronne: you need to specify a port [12:24] gronne: I don't know if ufw will allow wildcards [12:24] gronne: or "ALL" [12:24] rabspd, the wizard will walk you through most of it when you start it. [12:24] rabspd you might want to log out of ubuntu and back in so that firestarter can update everything though. [12:24] jrib, says cannot open display [12:24] emma: it is telling network device setup. [12:24] why do you need to log out and back in [12:24] ikonia: Ok, is there anyway to find out what port I need it to allow? [12:25] firestarter is dynamic [12:25] gronne: what do you want to allow ? [12:25] rabspd then when you get through the wizard check the box that says "IP adress is assigned via DHCP box (unless you are using an old dial up modem) [12:25] yah. There was just three step. [12:25] jo4: what did you type exactly? [12:25] I am using internet via LAN [12:26] why ubuntu fails agai? [12:26] * again [12:26] rabspd, if you use any bittorent then you will want to set some inbound rules. In the firestarter main window click the Policy Tab. Seclect inbound traffic policy in the editing drop down list. [12:26] LimCore: with what ? [12:26] ikonia: Well, you said I needed to specify a port... All I want is for it to run 192.168.0.3.. but I guess it needs a port as well then [12:26] ikonia: with good job, http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html [12:26] ikonia: with http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html [12:26] jrib, uhm.. i should maybe have done like ssh -X first, i just did 'gconftool-2' [12:26] gronne: thats right [12:26] emma: then what to do? [12:26] hm wait, this is not #ubuntu-bugs [12:26] * LimCore moves to other chanel [12:26] jo4: weird, I unset DISPLAY and gconftool-2 still worked for me [12:26] ikonia: is tere a way to find out what that port would be [12:26] LimCore: why are you showing this graph ? [12:27] LimCore: what has that got to do with ubuntu fails comments ? [12:27] rabspd, Right click in the second box on the Policy Tab. And then select Add Rule. To allow use of a Bittorent select the Bittorent choice. [12:27] gronne: but what do you want to allow them to do ? [12:27] jrib, oh, that's weird [12:27] rabspd, then click add and click Apply Policy. [12:27] ikonia: ubuntu still dont warn users to secure servers used with weak key - and hackers already take advantage :/ [12:27] rabspd, that should do it. [12:27] LimCore: you've been asked multiple times to stop going on about this [12:27] LimCore: this is not a support issue - it doesn't need warning, it auto updates [12:27] I need to fly or I'll be late to work. I hope that helps rabspd [12:27] ikonia: so I can ftp into my pc from my xbox(xbmc) in order to watch videos.. I'm really a newbie :) [12:28] see everyone later on today. [12:28] LimCore: please stop going on about this [12:28] ikonia: well just twice including this one but ok [12:28] gronne: ports 21 and 22 [12:28] emma: thank did. [12:28] hi all [12:28] ok.. thanks I'll try! [12:28] LimCore: and you where told earlier to stop dicussing it [12:28] emma: then. [12:28] can someone help me out with input language support? [12:28] good luck rabspd -- Enjoy your Ubuntu ♥ [12:28] emma: thanks. [12:28] i had scim/anthy working perfectly in gutsy [12:28] rabspd: why do you need a firewall if your on a lan ? [12:29] does compiz-fusion come with Hardy Heron when installed? [12:29] but when i try the same in hardy, it scim doesn;t seem to activate at all for some reason [12:29] rabspd: surly the lan will have network firewall on it ? [12:29] overdose: it does [12:29] ikonia: No. [12:29] ikonia: there is not any network firewall [12:29] rabspd: your network has no security devices on it at all ? [12:29] my firefox doesn't seem to trust the CAs from the ca-certificate packet on ubuntu. is this default behavior? can i set up firefox to do so? [12:29] freakabck: what happened? [12:30] ikonia: no? [12:30] rabspd, ctrl-Space activates nothing [12:30] rabspd: odd. [12:30] so, what am i looking for? i tried searching for resolution and the actual resolution it self, but no ciger [12:30] rabspd: unusual I should say sorry [12:30] ikonia: weird.. I opened both ports, but it still didn't allow me to enter my pc [12:30] although i have scim running on the panel and have setup the right combo in the scim setup dialog [12:30] gronne: is ftp running on your server ? [12:30] gronne: sorry, ports 20 and 21, typo on my part, sorry [12:30] freakabcd, for irc or firefox [12:31] u can change keyboard layout using mouse also. [12:31] ikonia: ok, I'll try again [12:31] ikonia: hi there. First i like to thank you for your attention to my question. How come i don't have the cube tho? [12:31] bazhang, err.. for all apps no? [12:31] hello all, does ubuntu have any tool similar to SaX2 in SuSE for configuring the desktop? [12:31] gronne: sorry, my misdtake [12:31] bazhang, scim/anthy is supposed to work for all apps [12:31] overdose: it's install,ed you have to set it up and configure it [12:31] not just firefox/irc [12:31] freakabcd, best to change system language then === ToygarTR is now known as toygartr [12:31] bazhang, what? [12:31] overdose: install the simple-ccsm package to configure it [12:31] bazhang, NO. i want to use english everywhere. but be able to type in japanese whenever i want === toygartr is now known as toygarTR [12:31] does anyone know how to configure the broadcast frequency for SSDP [12:32] not have everything shown in japanese [12:32] freakabcd, hmm; works here-->do you have the trigger keys set correctly [12:32] bazhang, yes. [12:32] ctrl-space, ctrl-shift-space [12:32] What do i need to share internet connection in ubuntu server? [12:32] ikonia: mmm... its been a while since i last used ubuntu. I had beryl installed on ubuntu 6.10 before. oH okay, so if i do a simple apt-get install simple-ccsm, it'll do the trick right? [12:32] rabspd: iptables [12:32] rabspd: or proxy services like squick and socks5 [12:33] bazhang, i have even setup the hotkey in the anthy subitem in the scim setup [12:33] Hi, is there anyone who could help? [12:33] overdose: that gets you the package, then launch ccsm and it will help you configure compiz [12:33] Hello all has anyone installed artwiz fonts on Ubuntu hardy and get it to work. I cant seem to get those fonts to work with my system. [12:33] alzamabar_: with what ? [12:33] freakabcd, did scim tell you to re-launch [12:33] ikonia: will you give me some idea, how to share internet connection through server? [12:33] ikonia, I've just installed the latest version and two weird things happened [12:33] bazhang, i have logged out a few times, and even did a reboot! [12:33] rabspd: NAT. you will need 2 network interfaces [12:33] ikonia: i'll give that a try. thx [12:33] ikonia: Don't worry, I'm just glad someone helps me :) anyway, the bad part is that it still doesn't work.. maybe it isn't ftp'ing it's doing.. it uses samba to view files I've shared [12:33] rabspd: well, you can either do it at a firewall level with iptables, or install services like squid and socks 5 [12:33] rabspd: ipmasq and dnsmasq are the packages [12:33] ikonia, the first is that apparently my network details have gone lost [12:34] rabspd: if they are on the same lan as you though, surly they will just use the same setup you are [12:34] freakabcd, what I meant was relaunch the scim itself not reboot etc [12:34] which one is easy? [12:34] gronne: ahhh ok, samba is a different thing [12:34] rabspd: squid is probably easier for web browsing [12:34] Raptelan: but it's up to you [12:34] bazhang, huh? logging out and logging back in relaunches scim. rebooting achieves the same [12:34] hey, i've just upgraded to hardy, and it broke my network drivers. I need to know how to fix them, but i dont really know where to start. [12:34] ikonia: you think? no config file editing? [12:34] dont tell me you think i didn;t restart scim! [12:34] rabspd: but if they are on the same lan as you, why do you need it [12:35] The second is that I had to partitions hd which are not being recognised [12:35] daver_au: what network card? [12:35] ikonia: would it be a different port for samba then? [12:35] wols_: squid - couple of lines, iptables for someone who doesn't understand it....touch call [12:35] Can somebody help pls? [12:35] gronne: surly would [12:35] freakabcd, how about right clicking in xchat window [12:35] alzamabar_: what do you mean "gone" [12:35] wols_: will just check. realtek i think [12:35] ikonia: my server is using windows currently, i want to replace it by ubuntu server [12:35] ikonia: I try and google to see what port it is [12:35] ikonia, that basically now the localhost name is not recognised [12:35] gronne: I was just doing that, well done for doing it [12:35] alzamabar_: where does it say that, what are you doing when it says that [12:35] bazhang, right click in xchat window and? [12:36] ikonia: I can't be lazy ALL the time :) [12:36] If I type ping jemoslinux, it says that it doesn't recognise the host name [12:36] alzamabar_: thats probably your dns not being available [12:36] あふや freakabcd [12:36] alzamabar_: look in /etc/resolv.conf and do an ifconfig -a make sure you have ipaddresses [12:36] choose scim bridge freakabcd [12:36] ikonia, thanks I'll look into that [12:37] 万歳 [12:37] wols_: Realtek 8111/8169 LAN [12:37] i think it wasn't setting up my environ properly [12:37] after i did that it seems to work for xchat alone [12:37] ikonia, I've got the following [12:37] domain JEMOSGROUP [12:37] nameserver 212.69.36.3 [12:37] nameserver 212.69.40.3 [12:37] alzamabar_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:37] wols_: it was working before, but i remember i updated the driver because of some weird issue [12:37] bazhang, i do have a line in my ~/.bashrc [12:37] Thank you very much. bye everybody. [12:38] Would I need anything else in there? [12:38] Hi y'all, im trying to set up the ubuntu on virtualbox but when i do start it i get this error: COuld not find kernel image: linux. Any idea ? [12:38] alzamabar_: you may need to use a fully qualified domain name, or put it in your host file, or use the "Search" option in /etc/resolv.conf [12:39] Hello, I need help please, how i can remove package from my Ubuntu without any traces ? [12:39] (from the terminal) [12:39] hello ! i've used iptables -A FORWARD .... -j ACCEPT do do a port forward ; but now i need to stop it and i run the same command but with -j DROP [12:39] kate_mins: apt-get remove --purge $name [12:39] bazhang, i have this in my ~/.bashrc: export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" [12:39] and its not working [12:39] ikonia, do you mean in /etc/hosts [12:39] pls help [12:39] is not enough? [12:39] hi [12:40] Dani_: iptables -F [12:40] Dani_: then re-apply [12:40] alzamabar_: /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf [12:40] ikonia L but i have a lot of rules i need to keep [12:40] Dani_: also #iptables and #netfilter [12:40] hi [12:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=587eb85dfee661d06b531c2f6f156e0f&p=4444724&postcount=8 see this freakabcd [12:40] Dani_: you can do iptables -F $rule" [12:40] lemme read [12:40] ikonia, in /etc/hosts the name of my local host is there, and it hasn't changed as compared as before [12:40] alzamabar_: I didn't say anything about that [12:40] ikonia, what shall I put in /etc/resolv.conf [12:41] i have a problem with my hsf modem [12:41] Hello, when i boot with the 2.6.24 Kernel i can't connect to the unsecured WLAN at my university, but my WPA network at home works with the 2.6.24 kernel. [12:41] alzamabar_: I said "you'll need to use a fully qualified domain, OR put it in your host file OR use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf" [12:41] ikonia, how do I use the Search string in /etc/resolv.conf [12:41] /join #OSC2008Nagoya [12:41] alzamabar_: search $domain [12:42] wols_: i think i know where to start... [12:42] ikonia: god damnit... how hard could it be, I opened port 139 and 445, which they say smb uses, but still no go... only if I disable ufw will it work... do I really need ufw? [12:42] wols_: i'll just redownload and reinstall the drivers from the realtek site [12:42] ikonia, do I need to restart anything after adding this string? [12:42] daver_au: wlan? [12:42] gronne: my personal opinion is that tools like ufw, firestarter, and the like are not good tools for interfacing with iptables, I'd drop all rules, and learn to add some basic iptables rules [12:42] gronne: thats only my personal view though [12:42] alzamabar_: no [12:43] wols_: nope, just normal internal on-motherboard cabled lan [12:43] ok - i have problems printing on a HP1020. I have tried a lot. - have re-instaled hotplug stuff as openprinting stuff suggests, but the printer does not print [12:43] ikonia, if my domain was named JEMOSGROUP and my localhost was named jemoslinux, would the following string be correct in /etc/resolv.conf? search JEMOSGROUP [12:43] ikonia: ok... I think I'll do that :) but is there a real need for a firewall when you have it in the router already? [12:44] alzamabar_: what type of domain is that, it's not a dns domain [12:44] gronne: if you have a router setup with an ok rule set, I don't see a need, depends how paranoid you are [12:44] daver_au: those are supported by ubuntu usually [12:44] amorphous__: hot plug died a long time ago, not sure what your installing [12:44] ikonia, in /etc/resolv.conf I've got the configuration of two nameserver entries [12:45] ikonia, with their IP addresses [12:45] alzamabar_: why do you not answer the questions I've asked [12:45] alzamabar_: I didn't ask anything about IP addresses [12:45] ikonia: ok, I'm not very paranoid, so it should be alright :) thanks a lot for the help, you're really helpful! [12:45] wols_: yeah, i know, but i think me installing a custom driver in gutsy might have borked the upgrade [12:45] alzamabar_: do you confuse windows workgroups with dns? [12:45] alzamabar_: I asked "what kind of domain is that" [12:45] gronne: welcome [12:45] gronne: if you're behind NAT and you're really just using a normal Linux desktop (ie. you're not running any servers) then basically you don't need to do any more [12:45] slm [12:45] hi [12:45] ikonia, I don't know. How should I answer? [12:45] i have problem with my hsf modem [12:45] can anyone help me [12:46] Pedram: buy a real modem, ditch this winmodem stuff [12:46] yes [12:46] gordonjcp: I'm not using NAT though, but is it really a problem? [12:46] winmodems are cheap though [12:46] i have a laptop [12:46] ikonia, how could I find out? [12:46] alzamabar_: "what kind of a domain is that, it's not a dns domain" should be responded with "it's a windows Activce directory, or a samba domain, or an LDAP schema", not "I have 2 ipaddresses" [12:46] alzamabar_: you set it up, you should know === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [12:46] gronne: it's not a huge problem [12:46] gronne: ifconfig. what IP Addresses do you have? [12:46] finding a real modem these days can be a chore. :) [12:46] i could work with my modem on 7.10 [12:46] winmodems are ok, I had one and worked perfectly with linux [12:47] but i have problem with my modem on 8.04 [12:47] ikonia, I've set it up previously through the network settings tool, I didn't manipulate the file automatically [12:47] i use dell driver [12:47] !enter | Pedram [12:47] Pedram: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:47] alzamabar_: lets cut to the chase - you want to be able to ping your hosts, yes/no? [12:47] but i don't know why it dowesn't work [12:48] Pedram: which driver? from where? [12:48] Pedram: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php [12:48] wols_: you want the 192.168.0.2.. ifconfig doesn't give out my ip adress. should I see at whatsmyip.com? [12:48] ikonia, I want my PC to assign a static IP address from my DNS server and I want this IP address to be bound to the name jemoslinux [12:48] Pedram: that suggests that you need to install "alsa-driver-linuxant' [12:48] hi, anybody know where i can find beginner info to setup a mail server? [12:48] gronne: no, ifconfig. if it gives you 192.168.0.2 you use NAT [12:48] http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/hardy/modem-drivers/hsf/?C=M;O=A === Co_cr_teman is now known as putri [12:49] i installed it too [12:49] ikonia, I've got a wireless router which assigns IP addresses to my PC based on its MAC address [12:49] !mailserver | visf [12:49] visf: Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [12:49] visf: look for a dovecot howto [12:49] alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup a DHCP server on your host, assign an IP address to it via pattern matching mac address from your PC, then you need to setup 2 dns servers, with dynamic dns and use a DNS update tool to update dns with your hostname and IP address [12:49] wols_: ok... Was pretty sure I didn't. how could you know it's nat because of that ip? [12:49] Pedram: did you install the alsa-driver-linuxant package? === KaiForce_ is now known as KaiForce [12:50] yes [12:50] gronne: cause it's a non routable IP, typically used for the hosts behind NAT [12:50] i have some dvds that are Mac/PC. on xp no problems to access the disks. when i try from kubuntu i'm denied access unless i access them as root ? [12:50] hey guys thanks ill looking into it [12:50] wols_: well, this doesnt work. "sudo make clean modules" fails [12:50] ikonia, I've already got a DHCP server, it's my wireless router, and it's also setup to assign a static IP address to my PC based on its MAC address [12:50] daver_au: what NIC? [12:50] alzamabar_: ok, so you need to setup dynamic dns servers and dynamic dns clients on your PC [12:50] ikonia: not really. he should set up dyndns on the router if possible. nmost can do it [12:51] wols_: whe wants to do it on his dns server, and register clients behind the router [12:51] alzamabar_: how is your DNS set up? [12:51] wols_: Realtek 8111B-GR nic [12:51] wols_: Ok, I take your word for it... Now I'll disable ufw :) [12:52] ikonia: depends who/what resolves DNS for him [12:52] wols, my PC is connected via Ethernet cable to the router, so it should already get an IP address. It was working before the upgrade to 8.04 and after the upgrade this is not working anymore [12:52] Ok... turns out cover art retrieval in Rythymbox for Gutsy is broken. If you've already got local art it will display that, but the page (amazon I think it was) that it downloaded new art from changed its protocols. It's been fixed upstream and in Hardy... but will not be made available in Gutsy. So... if you want cover art you either have to download it and place it in "covers" under the rhythmbox config files under ~/, or [12:52] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [12:52] tricky with routers since they usually contain a DNS server which is not configurable [12:52] Pedram: maybe there's some clues here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4762328 [12:52] alzamabar_: what isn't? the dhcp? [12:52] Btw, is anyone here being paid to help us newbies? [12:52] wols_: he said it was his internal dns - but he could be wrong [12:53] this is not a callcenter dude [12:53] bazhang, using the method of scim-bridge, i will be able to use ja input language for gtk and qt apps [12:53] bazhang, what about plain old X apps? [12:53] Hello. I have an openssl vulnerability question: Could an attacker log in after sniffing ssh traffic when all logins to the machine with a compromised host key were done using not compromised pubkey auth? [12:53] daver_au: modpobr r8168 or so [12:53] Modprobe r8168 [12:53] bazhang, iirc with my previous method i was able to use ja language input even on xterm for example [12:53] I'm using a laptop and seemingly randomly my mouse cursor will start going down and to the left and will be stuck there... what is problem?? [12:53] freakabcd, from reading the scim wiki most are supported under hardy [12:54] daver_au: vanilla linux kernel already supports this chip [12:54] bazhang, where is this page? [12:54] bazhang, also i can input ja in xterm? [12:54] have you tried input your language in xterm, does it work?

[13:08] !usb | Radit [13:08] Radit: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:08] thats the trick i donno :) [13:08] :-P [13:09] mount | grep /dev > bla.txt - that would help in some degree ;) [13:09] sorry, I will have to ask that again. I want to install /boot, / and swap to 3 primary partitions and 1 lvm partition with /home and /backup, can anyone give me a link that explains how to do this on the ubuntu livecd or the alternative? [13:09] because, I do not need all DEVICES, but only HDD's :) [13:09] grep /dev/h? [13:10] my qsynaptics does not work [13:10] (if devices hda etc) [13:10] mount | grep /dev/h > bla.txt - like this? [13:10] I have set SHMConfig to true alr. [13:10] wols_ I've solved the problem. the entry in the /etc/hosts was wrong. It should have been 192.168.0.4 jemoslinux instead of 192.168.0.4 jemoslinux.JEMOSGROUP [13:10] yes [13:10] thanks [13:10] does anyone have half life 2 working on gutsy with an nvidia video card? [13:10] works? [13:10] lemmy try... :) [13:10] wols_ Now when I ping jemoslinux I correctly get 192.168.0.4 which is my local machine [13:11] alzamabar_, this is twice now ive seen someone with a hostname.SAMBAGROUPNAME in their hosts file. [13:11] alzamabar_, we never did figure out where that SambaHostname Line came from [13:11] Dr_willis, this was automatically set up by GG 7.10 [13:11] alzamabar_: thats exactly what I told you to do in the first line [13:11] alzamabar_: I told you to search use a search domain in your /etc/resolv.conf OR put the hostname in your /etc/hosts file [13:11] ikonia, thanks, but as I've said, this was working with 7.10 GG and it was automatically set up by the network utility [13:12] There is nothing in the file? :)) [13:12] alzamabar_, ive never seen that befor. In all my ages of samba ussage. :) and so on. Im wondering if theres a bug going on somewhere. [13:12] I want to install /boot, / and swap to 3 primary partitions and 1 lvm partition with /home and /backup, can anyone give me a link that explains how to do this on the ubuntu livecd or the alternative? [13:12] ikonia - you still there? [13:12] try /dev/s then [13:12] amorphous__: I am now [13:12] ahhhhhh, yes [13:12] its sd... [13:12] dystopianray, i hear most of the halflife games work very well with Wine. [13:12] anyone know how to make gemplus smart card reader to function on ubuntu? [13:12] :)) [13:12] Dr_willis, after the upgrade I got another problem. Could you help? [13:12] Dr_willis: apparently not [13:13] anyone know how to get an eMobile working under Ubuntu? It is a kind of modem but I don't know where the modem settings are [13:13] European-African, you should be able to do that on the live cd choosing Manual Paratition when you get to the partitioning portion. should be pretty straight forward. [13:13] dystopianray, check the wine and !appdb app database. I dont mess with wine and those games. [13:13] !appdb [13:13] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [13:13] ikonia, with hp 1020 - hotplug stuff. I've googled 'till i'm blue in the face (and red too) -- the error log says i don't have auth to print (or similar), the only suggestion is hotplug. it doesn't work. [13:13] Dr_willis, ikonia, before the upgrade I had 1 HD partitioned in two partitions with entry in the /etc/fstab file and everything was working fine [13:13] Dr_willis: yeah I know what appdb is [13:14] izinucs: and on the alternative? [13:14] ikonia, to get to the printer is over 100mile [13:14] Okay, I have a Edgy Eft (6.10) server, should I upgrade directly to Hardy Heron (8.04), or should I go via Feisty (7.04) -> Gutsy (7.10) -> Hardy (8.04)? [13:14] European-African, should be the same.. in fact the alternative is the only way to get lvm on install [13:14] hmmm - still gives me something thats not HDD =devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [13:14] :)) [13:14] I need to reconfigure my X server - I am trying to use dpkg-reconfigure but I do not know the name of the package on ubuntu for x, I tried the obvious xserver-xorg but the error was that xserver is not installed ... [13:14] Dr_willis, ikonia, now the two partitions are unrecognised (although the entries are still there in the /etc/fstab file, but the system in 'places' shows me the two partitions with another name [13:14] designerman: xserver-xorg [13:15] Ah, I found the wikipage about it. [13:15] ikonia, and i've tried the hotplug thing loadsd of times, with reboots etc. Machine printed ok 'till 2 weeks ago (so they say), you have any ideas? [13:15] Seems I should go in increments. :) [13:15] andatche: hot plug died quite a while ago [13:15] help me please i just installed virtual box from synaptic and it requested a restart i did so and now have lost my graphics card config and all sound [13:15] amorphous__: hotplug died quite a qhile ago [13:15] alzamabar_: "mount" which two partitions are it? [13:15] wols_: I get the error xserver-xorg is not installed... [13:15] Hello, What would be the command to copy (not move) one directory on root including all subdirs to another one? [13:15] designerman: are you using a server install ? [13:15] izinucs: ok, thanx, I was actually looking for a guide somewhere that gave a step by step. [13:15] wols_: startx runs but there is an error - i need to reconfigure it does not recognise my graphics card driver [13:15] alzamabar_, a bit over my head. I always do clean installs. Sounds like mount point confusiion., [13:15] MidasWS: sudo cp [13:15] janMD - /dev/sda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,relatime,notail), devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) - I DON"T want the other one! :) [13:16] ikonia: Straight from a ubuntu live cd [13:16] MidasWS: sudo cp -R [13:16] jorgen> I only went as far as 7.10. Hardy does not like my laptop at all for some odd reason [13:16] designerman: apt-get install xorg [13:16] designerman, cp -a source_dir target_path [13:16] wols_ shall I run the mount command? [13:16] Kernel-1: which one you don't want? [13:16] designerman: your running on the livecd, with a desktop and it says you don't have xserver-xorg installed ? [13:16] alzamabar_: yes [13:16] the other one [13:16] I WANT just HDD's [13:16] (partitions) [13:16] ikinoia, like this ? sudo cp -R asdsadf.com/ uytu.com/ [13:16] ikonia: sorry I installed from the install cd out of the live cd pack [13:16] Hmm, any way to make xine dump the stream? [13:16] Kernel-1: you must have /dev/shm or your libc will blow up in your face [13:16] ikonia: havn't been able to start x yet [13:17] Kernel-1: well, grep for "/dev/sd" then... [13:17] I know that [13:17] DJones: thanks :-) [13:17] wols_ I suspect that are these two: [13:17] wols_ /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [13:17] ikonia, yr a bit busy now... maybe i best to ask later. [13:17] wols_ /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [13:18] alzamabar_: and what are the entries in your /etc/fstab? [13:18] ikonia, cheers [13:18] - /sd(x) should be only HDD devices? - thats very important for me [13:18] Hello~ [13:18] wols_ /dev/hdb1 /media/disk1 ext3 async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 [13:18] Kernel-1: not possible. usb flash is also /sda [13:18] amorphous__: I'm off to do a little work now, I'll be back in 30- minutes or so, I'll spend some serious time with you then [13:18] wols_ /dev/hdb2 /media/disk2 ext3 async,auto,exec,nosuid,nodev,group,owner,rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 [13:18] cos' I need only THEM FILTERED! (thats tricjy) [13:18] alzamabar_: edit your fstab. change /dev/hdb1 to /dev/sdb1 [13:18] help me please i just installed virtual box from synaptic and it requested a restart i did so and now have lost my graphics card config and all sound [13:19] wols_ thanks. Just out of curiosity, any reasons why this happened? [13:19] Kernel-1: you can also rename them via udev somehow. so they still exist but are called /dev/hda or such [13:19] alzamabar_: yes. around 2.6.18 or so, all disks are using scsi subsystem. before that IDE disks usd /dev/hdX [13:20] hmmm - the reason I need this is to have my own comand to have a quick insight in which HDD;s are on a particular machine [13:20] but that must be an OLD install: ubuntu uses UUIDs in fstab for ages === lucky__ is now known as whyu [13:20] What's the easiest way to rename a bunch of jpg's in bulk so the names end up something like 1-.jpg? [13:20] wols_, well.. in theory. :) i still have a few odd machines that stll give me /dev/hd## not sure why that one machine does not use the /dev/sd## method. [13:20] izinucs: the rename command [13:20] wols_ your help has been gr8. Thanks also to ikonia and Dr_willis. Is there a way I can restart the mount without having to restart the system? [13:20] Dr_willis: depends a bit on the driver and how it'S written [13:21] alzamabar_, you got a lot of odd options in that fstab line.. why the 'exec' option? [13:21] alzamabar_: after you changed it, unmount the two things and remount [13:21] izinucs: `find ... -exec mv {} 1-{}.jpg ;\` for example (there a much more ways ;) [13:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4964100#post4964100 [13:21] troxor, I figured that.. :( but what's the syntax.. I need the number to cascade up like 1-.jpg 2-.jpg [13:22] is there any way that I know that some device is a HDD, regardles if it's sd(x) or hd(x)? - actually I need this [13:22] wols_, yea - i think its due to that machine haveing ide + sata controller and it being one of the first MB's out with both. [13:22] izinucs: Ok, you didn't tell that first ... [13:22] vlt, thanks.. can I substitute cp for mv? [13:22] wols_ it works now, thanks!!! [13:22] vlt, new option? [13:23] izinucs: try rename *.jpg 1-*.jpg [13:23] Dr_willis: no. it's only a function of what driver it uses [13:24] mohamed_, ah.. much easier... that's what I was thinking. .. one more twist. the name is static and the number progresses up numerically with each pic. [13:24] izinucs: You could use a loop: `i=1; find ... | while read FILE; do mv "$FILE" "$i-$FILE"; i=$(($i+1)); done` ... but there must be a dozen tools already for this task ;) [13:25] izinucs: thunar has a bulk rename functionality too [13:25] o arhiva .rar o pot deskide in linux ? [13:26] izinucs, theres sevearel rename tools in the package manager also. I use 'qmv' in the renametools package a lot [13:26] !es | Ovispain [13:26] Ovispain: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

When I write large amounts of data to it (seems to be 2gb or more), the transfer stops, the raid does not store any more data, and load goes way up, slowly rising, and peaking around 30-40.. XFS filesystem, if I try to reboot, it just says "umount2: device or resource busy" and hangs [13:35] hello [13:36] Terrasque: bad driver? [13:36] how can i list installed packaged?

I suppose you'll have to go googling with your kernel version [13:38] Terrasque: Try asking in #ubuntu-server as well [13:38] wols_: yes, and it's not telling what's wrong. It could be .. xfs file system, the raid5 part, or the hdd part.. I have no idea [13:39] Hello. I installed Ubuntu using the CD installer. In the partitioning part I accepted the suggested option that shrinks existing NTFS on /dev/hda1. GRUB installed fine and I can boot Ubuntu (from hda5/hd(0,4)).

I upgraded from tiny to full cuz i wanted highlighting and the left-right-up-down keys to work in vim. Now, i'm guessing that i really didn't have to make the upgrade eh? Also, if i wanted to enable left-right-up-down keys in vim, would that be done in the vimrc too? [13:39] vallhalla81: check your xorg.0.log [13:40] wols_: how do i do that?

[13:45] designerman --> synaptic --> envyNG for installation of proprietary driver, tried that ? [13:46] Virtue: you likely damaged your grub loader, you may have to boot from live cd to investigate the problem [13:47] wols_: If I'm right the first 512 Byte is MBR including Partition table, then comes, hmmm, GRUB? What was there before? I made backups of first 63 sectors, so I could restore it. The NTFS should still be smaller and reside on a larger partition now. Any idea how to fix it? [13:48] vlt: usually, I just beat it over the head with the `grub-install /dev/hda` stick until it gives up [13:48] visik7: i've been away from ubuntu for 6 months. prior to that i had 10 months of experience in it [13:48] blame I did... nevermind, I'll just google again [13:48] hi everybody, anyone can help me? i'm using ubuntu 8.04. Im trying my pcmcia modem. my laptop have got the ip address, gateway and dns from my ISP. but i can't browsing or ping web site.but if i'm using other OS my connection is normal. anyone can resolve my problem? [13:48] The problem I am having is that sometimes a page or area will display an annoying grey on white background (instead of black on white) and is difficult to read [13:49] Virtue: what did you find out when you booted from live cd? [13:49] troxor: I'll try to re-restore the partitioned MBR again (first sector) and then run `grub-install` ... Does that make sense to you/anyone? [13:50] vlt: sounds good, so long as the grub configurations are sane [13:50] whats up? [13:50] Anyone got soem sweet themes ?? [13:50] blame I found out that partition, linux files and everything are okay.. I don't know what else to find out, that's why I'm asking [13:50] LukeL_? [13:50] I tried changing some of the fonts in the preferences but this didn't fix the problem [13:51] GhostFish: try in #ubuntu-offtopic, maybe?

[13:53] strange i cant register my nick on a other irc sever and it is not taken [13:53] BonezAU: you need to specify your vpn options in /etc/ppp/peers/ your authentication information in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and then run pon to connect [13:54] Is anybody even able to read my messages? [13:54] bridean: yeah, we can see them [13:54] bridean, no [13:55] bridean: which you dont like? firefox? [13:55] I should be able to fix the problem by changing some preference somewhere, but I can't find which one. [13:55] bridean: try System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Theme -> Customize -> Colors , and change all the gray to white [13:55] anyone know if there is any way to get around the password on encrypted .rar files? [13:55] Blame: This font appears in some web pages under firefox, the chat window of freeciv, as well as other places [13:55] adam7: it's not there! [13:56] BVBBQ: why don't you know the password? [13:56] adam7: I really like Exaile. Thanks. :P [13:56] afternoon all. does Ubtunu locally cache DNS lookup data? [13:56] hi everybody, anyone can help me? i'm using ubuntu 8.04.

[13:57] bridean: try apt-get install msttcorefonts to add some spice and change your fonts [13:57] hey all [13:57] Quintin: you are indeed right, sorry :/ Totem opens when you put a dvd in, right? [13:57] adam7: yes [13:58] noob-africa_, try some other players like gmplayer, or vlc? i havent tried a SVCD in years..,. [13:58] wols_ ah, so if my server is not getting the right DNS for a domain yet, all i can do is wait for my hosts's own DNS lookup to update? [13:58] it would be great if the devs could not screw everything up so on new release. that's what beta testers are for [13:58] adam7: I'd like vlc, since it can actually show menus etc [13:58] x [13:58] Quintin: yeah, totem can do that too, IIRC [13:58] Dr_willis: hey... thanks... but GNOME doesnt mount the disc... why? [13:58] Good morning all, how do you register a nick? [13:58] steve_j: check who your DNS server is [13:58] Quintin: I use vlc too though ;) [13:58] !register | WBC_c4u [13:58] WBC_c4u: 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. [13:58] Anyone here help me get my hercules dualpix chat and show webcam working, I have followed the destructions for the hercules webcam classic but no joy, kopete lights up the cam but no image, any help would be appreciated [13:58] adam7: no, it can't. I've been trying. at least it can't with the 2 DVDs I've tried so far [13:58] noob-africa_, no idea. It may not need tobe mounted to be played by vlc./gmplayer. I aint seen one of those kinds of disks in ages [13:58] blame: I have all of those fonts as well as about 4000 different truetype fonts that I could try. That's not my problem. My problem is getting certain windows to display a decent font. [13:58] oh well, ill try my more important problem. the drivers for my videocard are running crazy. like 10hrz refresh rate or something, [13:59] Dr_willis: and i have just lost my maximize, minimize and close buttons on Firefox... cant see the Title bar also... [13:59] blame: Maybe if I sent you a few screen shots you would understand what I am talking about [13:59] i think compiz is messing up Firefox, somehow... lol [13:59] noob-africa_, if all windows have lost their 'decorations' then thats sounds like compiz crashing, or whatever window-decorator you are using. [13:59] bridean: some times its theme problem, try switching your theme [13:59] BVBBQ: do you have your video drivers installed? [14:00] Quintin: ok, well, the DVD play back *used* to be under System -> Prefs -> Removable stuff -> Multimedia, but it seems to have vanished [14:00] wols_ how can i do that? my *nix is patchy :) [14:00] Dr_willis: am using compiz [14:00] blame: What theme do you recommend I try first? [14:00] adam7 i saw a blog with that info on it the other day. its gotten moved to some weird spot. :) [14:00] ubuntu-it [14:00] adam7: like I said.. that's what beta testers are for :| [14:00] ActionParsnip, when i booted up after installing 8.04 it asked me to use the restricted driver so it installed it and poof its like this [14:01] blame: Also, why didn't they put it in system -> preferences -> appearence? [14:01] Dr_willis: oh goody, a treasure hunt :D [14:01] Dr_willis: desktop cube is working fine... but the decorators have failed only on Firefox... all other windows open normally [14:01] how do i get remote access to windows computer? what do i have to install there and to ubuntu? [14:01] BVBBQ: id uninstall it and switch to vesa then find a walkthrough to install a different driver [14:01] BVBBQ: or check your xorg.conf to see if you can hike your refresh [14:01] BVBBQ: what video card do you use? [14:01] Quintin: Totem is the default program for DVD-playback in Hardy, and the is no obvious way to change it <--- not looking good [14:02] troxor: No, that didn't work. When I boot from the "new" MBR but with sectors 2-63 from before the install I only get infinitely scrolling "GRUB" on the screen. [14:02] lartza_: u don't need to install anything, there is already terminal server client [14:02] Quintin: try this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_make_VLC_open_when_you_insert_a_DVD [14:02] hmm, i have a radion X1300 or something like that, and how would i check the xorg.config or what to look for [14:02] BVBBQ: let me websearch first [14:03] adam7: ok this is so stupid [14:03] lartza_: Applications > internet > terminal server client [14:03] adam7: nautilus > edit > prefs > media tab [14:03] ActionParsnip, thanks dude [14:03] To be honest, I much prefer mplayer to totem. In the past, I always regarded totem to be a "not play movies" program whereas mplayer is a "play movies even if the file is broken" kind of program. [14:03] hi, is this common with a fresh hardy install? [ 451.440105] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [14:03] mohamed_: I need graphical, but got help already [14:03] I have a 17" LCD at home, when i try to connect it to my laptop, it just becomes a duplicate of the one on the laptop. How can i use it as an extension to the screen? I.e. when i move my mouse left it goes to the other screen?

Some `sfdik` magic? [14:03] * adam7 updates Ubuntu Guide [14:04] bridean, the best video playing program i know of is VLC, if it cant play it, its probly not a video file. [14:04] adam7 so logical eh! :) [14:04] brb... [14:04] BVBBQ: if you run fglrxinfo do you get anyting [14:04] Dr_willis: definitely. I never would have found that [14:04] * yacc is happy, at last, a player that understands dvdnav and that can rip the stream. That's for the nasties from Sony. [14:05] adam7, now was that a gnome change? or did ubuntu change it in gnome? No idea :) we need a 'search for the settings tool!' [14:05] Quintin: gotta love it though, you *still* can't change to VLC from there xD [14:05] Are there any other GUI's available for PPTP VPN connections than NetworkManager? [14:05] ActionParsnip, i get OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org [14:05] BVBBQ: follow this guide, seems quite thorough: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide [14:06] hi ActionParsnip [14:06] Dr_willis: [14:06] hi noob-africa_ [14:06] adam7, last time i tried to change a default program on gnome.. (from totem to gmplayer) it had hissy fits with spaces in the filenames/paths. :( [14:06] Dr_willis: yeah, it appears that gnome likes gnome apps, and no others [14:06] BVBBQ: just dont run sudo gedit if the walkthrough says === IgorLinux is now known as SW0RDF15H [14:06] noob-africa_, i perfer to NOT use compiz at all.. just because its so flakey [14:06] BVBBQ: use gksudo gedit [14:07] thanks [14:07] BVBBQ: Yeah, and Totem is a "can't play the movie even if the file will play with any other movie player" kind of movie playing program. It baffles me as to why it's set as the automatic default movie player when there are so many obvious better choices out there. It's actually easier to reboot to windows and play it with Windows Media player sometimes than to try to play it with totem.

[14:13] d_rea: I think sudo apt-get install set-of-packages can do it [14:14] d_rea: second time I hear that question today... why do you only want to update a specific set of packages? [14:14] noob-africa_, no idea on the commands, just use the menus to set the settings level to none. or run 'metacity --replace' [14:14] bridean: the email the problem?

[14:16] d_rea: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox [14:16] bridean: I think its in the firefox preference [14:16] d_rea: for example ^ [14:16] I don't want to change it in just firefox. Other programs use this annoying font as well. [14:16] d_rea: I thought the whole idea of using separate version of a distro was to prevent it from changing to much.. [14:16] bridean: yeah, prefs -> content -> fonts and colors / advanced -> monospace [14:17] d_rea: but well.. I won't tell you how to do your thing... I don't know if apt can update just a couple of packages.. you might want to look into aptitude as well.. it might do things differently [14:17] Slart: if you just try to install the package it willupdateonly that one [14:17] Slart: True, but i've been bitten by upgrades before. I don't have time and a separate system to vet everything on first before I do it. I've ended up with a broken system more than once.

What about in freeciv? [14:21] I dunno how to use sdparm, the man page is so vague. [14:21] I need to know which parameters to change [14:21] Are there any other GUI's available for PPTP VPN connections than NetworkManager? [14:21] d_rea: ah.. I have no idea how hard it is to setup.. well.. this worked too [14:21] adam7: Where is the system wide monospace font setting at? [14:21] bridean: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Fonts and change the monospace front [14:21] bridean: ideally, you'd choose another monspace font to replace it, but doesn't need to be if having a monospace font isn't important to you [14:22] how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????

[14:24] adam7 linux doesnt use drivers? [14:24] Adam7: Under system -> appearence -> preferences -> fonts which one do I change? Application font? The only one that is monospace is the "fixed width" font which I have set to monospace bold. That controls the font that is used when I run a terminal so I know that one doesn't need to be changed. [14:24] adam7, It does use drivers, just differently. [14:24] miickee: are you sure the drive isn't just inherently slow? [14:24] how to repair grub on a harddisk that used recover vista from vista dvd? [14:24] d_rea: hehe.. ok.. whatever makes you a happy productive dev =) [14:24] Na, it isn't normally slow mate. [14:24] bobbob1016: modules, and they should be automatically loaded, yes? [14:24] darren_ i doubt it mate, not unless your hardware is really odd and then in that case it shouldnt still freeze up [14:24] userlol: modules, and it should load them automatically [14:24] adam7 ah ok, i see [14:25] k [14:25] Radit, vista installed first or second [14:25] adam7 isnt module just a buzz word for driver?

[14:25] bridean: yeah, the monospace bold, I think -- also, try switching off the subpixel smoothing to monochrome and see if that makes the font look better [14:25] how do you speed up ubuntu booting...its hangs at kinit: No resume image, during normal boot... for like 5 min....????

[14:26] how can i check [14:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows radit this may give some info [14:26] Adam7: I know it's not the monospace bold because I tried changing that once. The only thing that one controls is the font that is used if I run a terminal. [14:26] darren_ duno mate, maybe try run heaps of videos or games at the same time?

[14:39] Adam7: Over to the right side of the screen [14:39] drash: i have it at opening the subs automatically. how do you mean naming conventions? [14:40] bridean: use ubuntu live, goto terminal, then type sudo grub-install; is that correct? [14:40] ~karma amarok [14:40] be back [14:40] SRT file has to have identical filename for it to work babolat [14:40] Dr_willis: i am back... compiz is stopped... i have another problem [14:40] i just went to 100% ubuntu no more ntfs partition [14:40] besides the extension itself that is [14:40] bridean: yeah, try the option above "Best contrast" [14:40] what is an obselete software? [14:41] Radix: Pretty much. You might have to try something like sudo grub-install /dev/hda or something like that. But that's the basic idea [14:41] movie.avi = movie.srt right drash ? well i did that. still nothing [14:41] christoz, one no longer made [14:41] hi, do anybody know why can i not see my Genre icon on mi Collection in Amarok over Ubuntu Gnome? i installed kdebase-data but, after that i just can see Artist and Album icon but still not the Genre icon. [14:41] hi ppl [14:41] ok babolat .. did you check the encoding of the SRT file ? [14:41] PCDJ: did you do that manually, or did you use LVPM? [14:42] drash: how do i do that? [14:42] with add/remove [14:42] stbain, with add/remove [14:42] bridean: ok, thanks :-) [14:42] open it in one of the many subtitle editors babolat [14:43] PCDJ: Should have asked first... "were you using Wubi?" [14:43] stbain, wubi? [14:43] !wubi | PCDJ [14:43] PCDJ: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [14:43] Adam7: If I switch to monocrome that fixes the color problem. But now the font is kind of "blurry" (don't know how else to describe it). It's black instead of that annoying grey or whatever though. [14:43] it looks fine drash. wanna see a pastebin of it? [14:43] I have recently gotten a old server with two Pentium 2 (233mhz) cpu's, it has Four 8 gig SCSI hard drive's... Should I get a 32bit or 64 bit Ubuntu server for it ?? \ [14:43] hello people, what does the trocker search tool does? it is useful? [14:43] tracker* [14:43] sure, paste away [14:44] KindOne: 32bit, Pentium 2s are not 64bit processors [14:44] Dr_willis: there is a USB flash disk that has a lot of windows viruses, which i want to clean out... i havent tried clamav, yet, but isnt there a way to delete these manually from Nautilus? [14:44] bridean, if anti-aliasing worries you so much just switch it off completely, things will look horrible but at least there's no "blurry" [14:44] pici, thank you =) \ [14:44] stbain, all i want to do is share 2 drives with the other XP computer [14:44] PCDJ: ahh ok [14:44] anyone? mod_php4 on hardy heron [14:44] ? [14:44] hi, do anybody know why can i not see my Genre icon on mi Collection in Amarok over Ubuntu Gnome? i installed kdebase-data but, after that i just can see Artist and Album icon but still not the Genre icon. [14:44] noob-africa_, delete viruses? you need a virus tool for that. [14:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12236/ drash [14:45] is the tracker search tool not the same as deskbar applet? [14:45] hi all i have downloaded a windows program (band in a box) that i know works very well with wine. The file is a rar with 2 parts (part1iso.bin e part2iso.bin) anyone knows how to mount them and install? thank u quite alot :D [14:45] thx, i'll take a look, brb [14:45] what does tracker search exactly does? [14:45] Rippofunk: PHP4 is no longer supported by the PHP team. End of life was December of last year. [14:45] upstart: on started mysql does not work on ubuntu? [14:45] Dr_willis: i installed (get-apt install) clamav, it is in the /etc/clamav/ directory... [14:46] !info tracker [14:46] tracker (source: tracker): metadata database, indexer and search tool. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.6-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 285 kB, installed size 2008 kB [14:46] stbain, is there a way to share folders through network without samba? [14:46] Dr_willis: but the ls shows only the following files... clamd.conf freshclam.conf onerrorexecute.d onupdateexecute.d [14:46] danny_, i wouldn't be surprised if they both consult the same database for their indexes [14:46] PCDJ: yeah, you can use sshfs, or NFS, I think [14:46] indices, sorry [14:46] Philh: Anti-aliasing? [14:46] Dr_willis: what is the command syntax to run it? [14:46] stbain you must mean ubuntu php team? [14:47] PCDJ: for sharing with Windows boxes, Samba is probably your best bet. [14:47] bridean, the smudgy smooth edges you're experiencing around onscreen fonts is as a result of anti-aliasing, it's intended to make text more pleasant to read at low resolutions === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [14:47] stbain: you must mean ubuntu php team? [14:47] Rippofunk: No, the PHP team at php.net. Give me a sec and let me see if I can find the announcement. [14:47] stbain, but it doesn't work lol just my luck too [14:47] disconnect [14:47] im trying to figure out something, and i hope one of you can help me out, i got two screens, 1: Laptop screen with 1280x800 preferred resolution , 2: Philips 22" LCD screen with 1600x1050 preferred resolution, im trying to set a twin view that each one of my two screens will be set in its own resolution 1600x1050 and 1280x800 but still that ill see the whole screen on the smaller screen, anyone got me? and know what to do maybe? [14:47] woops [14:48] stbain: Rippofunk: the release chart on wikipedia has it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP [14:48] i installed ssfhs [14:48] babolat, what setting are you using in totem for the encoding scheme ? [14:48] stbain: i see announcement on the front page of an update jan 2008 4.4.8 [14:48] stbain, i installed the sshshs or whatever initials are lol [14:48] Philh: Ok, how do I turn it off? I assume that I can turn it back on if that doesn't fix the problem? [14:48] Rippofunk: security releases only [14:48] co_dezta [14:49] drash: i don't remember setting anything [14:49] Rippofunk: stbain: http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/8235 [14:49] bridean, oh, i seem to recall someone already mentioning using the monochrome setting, that turns it off [14:49] anyone here know if 8.04 would work with PERC controllers? [14:49] babolat, try "utf-8" or one of the other western types in the dropdown menu [14:49] that's the one [14:49] update manager crashes when i try to view the preferences [14:49] Philh: Ok [14:50] Hi all. Hey, does xorg support 32 bit colour? and if so, how can i change my xorg.conf to make it happy with my Nvidia GTS 8800 at 1600x res ? [14:50] drash: i just checked. it's currently in Unicode UTF-8 [14:50] sorry, googling .. [14:51] davelee: 32bit usually means 24bit actual color and 32bit used for mem usage only (easier to program) [14:51] That really is an annoying problem. Is there anybody that actually likes the grey on white color for reading? [14:51] trying to run games and 24 bit doesnt quite cut it [14:51] hey the folder shared wooohooo [14:51] Rippofunk: that article Pici linked... as you can see, 4.4 will be getting critical security updates only, but that will be going away in three months. I would look to migrate to php5 as quickly as possible. [14:51] Here's what it looks like now. [URL=http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2qr9.png][IMG]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4526/screenshot2qr9.th.png[/IMG][/URL] [14:51] wols - well it looks crap. you know if i can change it ? [14:51] oké babolat, it's a wild guess, but try setting it to western(iso-8859-1) [14:51] stbain: thanks, I guess i will have to change distros to one that supports 4 [14:52] Rippofunk: PHP itself doesnt support 4 anymore. [14:52] stbain, TY now i have to boot the other gates infected PC and see if it shared [14:52] i did that drash but still no change.. i think i'm just gonna go with MPlayer [14:52] Also, is it worthwhile for me to try upgrading to 8.04? I am running 7.10 [14:52] wol - the greater problem is i'm trying to run eve online [14:52] davelee: ALL games on all platforms use 24bit only [14:52] Rippofunk: only if you want your PHP application to be open to any hacker in the world who manages to find a vulnerability after August 8th. [14:52] i am getting paid to develop on php4 not 5, and obviously have no controlon update [14:52] all the best babolat [14:52] and it works fine but looks a bit gradienty [14:52] belive i know [14:52] thanks anyway drash [14:52] if you know what i mean ... banded [14:53] anyone knows what to do about my screens problem? [14:53] Rippofunk: try Dapper, it might have PHP4... [14:53] some high end graphics stuff uses more (10 bit per color usually) but normally you monitor cannot display more than 24bit [14:53] stbain: belive me i know!!! [14:53] wols - so it's not a color depth issue? [14:53] Rippofunk: Yes, Dapper has v4 and is supported for another 3 years [14:53] bridean: beautiful :) I'd suggest you undo whatever that change as :P [14:53] s/as/was/ [14:53] davelee: 24bit you only see banding in gradients in blue and green. maybe [14:53] wols - i found some other guys on the intertubes saying exactly what you are, on forum threads etc, so i expect you're right [14:53] stbain: I use GEntoo on my laptop and that worksfine with php4, but they gave me an old desktop that would take years to install gentoo [14:53] Rippofunk: php4 is officially deal and buried [14:54] but i still think it looks funny [14:54] davelee: you sure it's using 24bit? [14:54] stbain: thanks for the help [14:54] *dead [14:54] im trying to figure out something, and i hope one of you can help me out, i got two screens, 1: Laptop screen with 1280x800 preferred resolution , 2: Philips 22" LCD screen with 1600x1050 preferred resolution, im trying to set a twin view that each one of my two screens will be set in its own resolution 1600x1050 and 1280x800 but still that ill see the whole screen on the smaller screen, anyone got me? and know what to do maybe? [14:54] Rippofunk: no problem. As a CTO who is in the middle of migrating an entire PHP4 application stack to another platform, I feel your pain. [14:55] I am running Ubuntu on an HP Pavillion dv6446us laptop. Runs a hell of a lot better than the Windows Vista home edition that was preinstalled [14:55] kakoonia: good luck -- what card are you using in your laptop? (and what version of Ubuntu?) [14:55] stbain: like i said if it was up to me i would migrate, but their servers are slackware and they are old skool, so no hope [14:56] Rippofunk: soon they will have no choice, slack won't be supported forever there [14:56] Rippofunk: Do what I do... make them sign a disclaimer. [14:56] and neither will be php4 [14:56] stbain: diclaimer?? [14:56] Rippofunk: Reads something along the lines of "PHP4 is no longer supported, Rippofunk is in no way liable for the security of the application." [14:56] OSUKid: I used to work near OSU in Columbus Ohio. [14:56] Rippofunk: Basically, it makes them wake up and smell the coffee and protects you [14:56] a disclaimer that it'S not your fault they insist on php4 and might soon have owned servers [14:57] OSUKid: Now, I live nowhere near Ohio [14:57] bridean: ah nice, yeah I'm from Columbus [14:57] !ot [14:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:57] stabin: yeah [14:57] !paste [14:57] 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) [14:57] stbain: yeah [14:57] Adam7: Are there any other settings I can play with that would effect the font? [14:57] stbain, it share but other PC does not see this one [14:57] adam7: im using nvidia Geforce GO 7300 and im on ubuntu Hardy.. [14:58] bridean: not that I know of :/ [14:58] !font | bridean [14:58] bridean: 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 [14:58] so... anyone familiar with the "SSH VPN"/ssh tunnel setup? I had it working last week, but now whenver I try, I get "Tunnel device open failed." and "Could not request tunnel forwarding." errors [14:58] PCDJ: I think there's a #samba channel... they'd be able to get you on track in no time flat [14:58] no people is chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:58] stbain, TY [14:58] stbain: it seems like you are keeping this whole channel alive! thanks agian [14:59] PCDJ: Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I haven't really had to deal with Samba (or Windows for that matter) for years [14:59] can someone look at this and tell me if they have same problem with hardy? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12238/ [14:59] Rippofunk: Nah... I just type really really fast [14:59] stbain: haha laters [14:59] Adam7: Is Ubuntu 8.04 any improvement over 7.10? [14:59] legend2440: is this usb? [14:59] OSUKid7: have you read about the debian/ubuntu openssh security bug/exploit ??? [14:59] stbain, only my daughter's PC has microcsucks windows i am 100% linux === bamed is now known as bamed|away [15:00] bridean, oh, so you're trying to turn AA off within freeciv? [15:00] bridean: yeah, but if you're happy with 7.10, you don't have to upgrade :) [15:00] erUSUL: the one from a couple days ago? yes, and it has been patched, afaik [15:00] wols_: no western digital ide. the drive i have ubintu on [15:00] OSUKid7: you may need to first upgrade your system(s) and maybe regenerate your keys vpn set ups [15:00] i am only not happy with firefox in gutsy [15:00] flash always crash [15:00] PCDJ: I have a pretty even mix of Linux, Windows, Mac at home and here in my office, but the core stuff is all Linux [15:00] OSUKid7: if i read it correctly it affects vpn set ups too [15:00] Adam7: Well, I have all the applications and stuff I want set up in 7.10. How is 8.04 an improvement? [15:01] erUSUL: hmm, I've done dist-upgrade on both systems and believe they both re-generated the keys... and also, this isn't a true vpn setup - it just uses SSH (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN) === phenom|Away is now known as phenom_ [15:01] Where can i find the default download folder of hellanzb ? [15:01] bridean: well, more recent versions of some apps, and pulse audio, if you consider that an improvement (I do :D), and Firefox 3 beta 5, and LTS support [15:01] ho hum [15:01] How to delete rythbox music list under "music"??? [15:01] theres a bot joinspamming people [15:01] where are the ops! [15:02] hydrogen, which one [15:02] I converted from Window to Ubuntu (8.04) two days ago, but my new Ubuntu has given me any number of error messages and crashes. Suddenly sound won't play, programs won't close or grey out, menu's don't work, I can't start up gnome-terminal etc. [15:02] bazhang: CAP5050: [15:02] OSUKid7: the server keys are regenerated but maybe you have to regenerate personal keys??? use "sudo ssh-vulnkey -a" to check all keys on a system [15:02] It's usually ok after I reboot - for a couple of hours. Then it starts again. [15:02] bazhang: they seem not to respond to /cycle [15:02] bridean, is the text you're seeing still fuzzy even outside of the freeciv window? [15:02] hydrogen: you can join #ubuntu-ops, I think to get some help (or do !ops, but be careful with that, it makes people unhappy if it isn't needed) [15:02] Adam7: Actually, I might be interested because I was experimenting with a program called rosegarden for writing music. But it has trouble with how MIDI is handled under Ubuntu. Maybe it would have less trouble under Ubuntu 8.04 [15:02] erUSUL: all are listed as "Not blacklisted" [15:03] bridean: no idea, I don't use MIDI, sorry [15:03] adam7: right, thats why I didn't invoke the operator gods :) [15:03] philh: Yeah a little bit [15:03] hydrogen: yep :) I've seen people who angered the gods, and ... *poof* :P [15:03] pinnerup: Are these consistent errors (i.e., application A always hangs audio) or are they random? If random, it might be hardware issues. [15:03] just like that. [15:03] bridean, for me that text is almost unreadable because of the lack of anti-aliasing, if it's fuzzy for you i wonder if you're driving your laptop's panel at the correct resolution [15:03] OSUKid7: ok; then if all your systems/keys are ok then i dunno .... [15:03] How to delete rythmbox music list under "music"??? [15:04] Philh: its fuzzy in the screenshots too [15:04] Where is the default download folder of hellanzb ? [15:04] Philh: Not "all" of the text is fuzzy [15:04] bridean, so the normal text is sharp and horrible but in the game it's fuzzy? [15:05] Philh: Also, it's possible that imageshack might have made the images fuzzy from compression [15:05] adam7, i'm asking about the desktop in general, not the freeciv window [15:05] 有说汉语的吗 [15:05] Philh: Yeah, that's pretty much right [15:05] When I tried to boot ubuntu right after the installation, I got a error 17 by grub. What to do_ [15:05] !cn | kissdb [15:05] kissdb: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:05] Lynet: I haven't been able to find one program that'll always trigger them. [15:05] bridean, it's a PNG and i've gone to the image url, not the scaled version presented at the url you gave [15:05] Lynet: But it's a fairly new computer. [15:05] ok [15:05] Carolyn Davis can't print from pcp5055 in es to a printer in infusion. I changed her local printer over to an identical printer on another print server at ermc and jobs started going through. [15:06] I got a windows hard drive as my IDE slave, and a SATA hard drive [15:06] bridean, and you actually find the unreadable jagged look of the text outside of the freeciv window more pleasant than anti-aliased text? [15:07] Philh: It's an improvment over the gray vs. white stuff I had earlier [15:07] Philh: At least this is black vs. white [15:07] Well all i wanna know, wat's ubuntu for??? i currently use kubuntu... [15:07] Philh: How do I turn anti-aliasing off? [15:07] i wanna try ubuntu [15:07] got any tips? [15:07] folks... i need some help here... i installed VLC, but it is failing to play a SVCD disk of mine... there is a support page that says VLC supports SVCD media on Linux [15:07] Helios, install ubuntu-desktop [15:07] pinnerup: I'd try running memtest over night, if that finds no errors I'd make a post on ubuntu forums detailing your hardware and any suspicious messages you find in /var/log/ [15:07] what could be wrong? [15:07] Lynet: I have som suspicion that it could be linked to the Nvidia proprietary driver, but I'm not sure. [15:08] s [15:08] Lynet: I tried running memtest for some three hours. It went three passes without finding anything. [15:08] hmmmm well this is the difference in the Look and interface.. [15:08] i wanna know about the features... [15:08] !SVCD [15:08] Factoid svcd not found [15:08] bridean, the greys, or indeed the slight colours if using subpixel AA, are there to make the text more readable, it's not worth turning off unless you're running at some insanely high resolution [15:08] Where is the default hellanzb download folder ? [15:08] Helios, this is not the channel for that; you can check www.distrowatch.com for more info and screenshots [15:09] Hi [15:09] erUSUL: yeah, re-did aptitude upgrades on both systems and I'm still getting the same errors when I try sudo ssh -w 0:0 the.remote.host [15:09] Lynet: Now it makes an error when I go to System | Preferences | Screen Resolution, it says: "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." [15:09] Philh: Sorry, but for me gray on white is damn hard to read. It may be because I am color blind, but it really should be black on white. [15:09] hi all [15:10] Lynet: Also, I find that it will run my display no higher than 1280*1024, even though I could easily run much more on Windows. [15:10] hi, how do i upgrade a package from console? [15:10] hello tt le monde j'ai besoin d'aide pour l'installation de drivers plz? [15:10] bridean, anyway, it looks like you need to find a setting inside freeciv to turn that anti-aliasing off, it doesn't take any notice of the gnome settings [15:10] !fr | Squirrel [15:10] Squirrel: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [15:10] Hey, does anybody know why my 8.04 refuses to power off my laptop? After a shutdown, I just get a white screen which goes all psychedelic and I have to power off manually??? [15:10] pinnerup: Sounds like a snafu'd install of the nvidia driver. Dunno why it would mess up sound though. [15:10] Philh: In general, how do I turn anti-aliasing off? [15:10] bridean, in general you already have [15:10] * vagothcpp has gone: Away from Keyboard.

[15:11] Philh: You really think grey on white was better? [15:11] bridean, you might want to try bumping your font sizes up a little if you're turning AA off, it'll make things less garbled [15:11] Lynet: I have done that. Immediately when I booted up, it asked if I wanted to enable Nvidia proprietary driver. I did. [15:12] I did not change my nick, now I am afk [15:12] how is software sound acceleration in ubuntu nowadays? ie: playing multiple things at once [15:12] !elaborate | ropel [15:12] Then I turned on fancy graphics and things came crashing down.

[15:40] bazhang: i already tried, i download the wav files from gnome-look.org [15:41] fent: odd... my laptop did the same yesterday [15:41] Radi1, try vlc among others [15:41] Radi1: and are those realy wav files? did you install the needed gstreamer plugins? [15:41] just install all to be sure [15:41] bazhang: but the SVCD is my own... i created it using Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 (Windows) way back in 2006! [15:41] Hammer89 hm, sorta worrying [15:41] fent: no joke [15:41] AHH HAH [15:41] noob-africa_, really no idea apart from asking you to try some different players [15:41] noob-africa_: mplayer and vlc doesnt play it? [15:42] ahhaha [15:42] mgolisch: yes, i installed gstreamer plugin the first time i played an mp3 file, then totem ask me to download gstreamer, which i then downloaded [15:42] mgolisch: am downloading mplayer right now... will find out soon [15:42] I don't see anything suspicious in the .bash_history. [15:42] BonezAU, you have a support question? [15:42] mgolisch: i can play mp3 but not wav files [15:42] bazhang, yes, look above [15:42] mgolisch: vlc recognises the disc, but it doesnt play it [15:42] Radi1: yeah you may not have installed the needed gstreamer plugin [15:42] for that [15:42] fent, they still on your machine? type who in terminal to see [15:42] aha [15:42] it can Radi, install the gstreamer-0.10-plugins-good for wav support [15:43] does anyone know if possible to run camfrog on linux? [15:43] mgolisch: can you tell me how to do this? [15:43] got a question: is it normal that gparted needs 4 hours to shrink a ntfs part. 100gb to 90gb and sets the blocksize from normally 512 to 256? [15:43] BonezAU, please repeat it I missed it [15:43] bazhang nope, only me, I assume they rebooted to cover their tracks [15:43] Radi1: do what drash said [15:43] I am having difficulty extending my desktop to a second monitor. I am using 8.04 and the new Xorg Screen Resolution utility. Any attempts to modify xorg.conf (like I have done previously) have resulted in a broken X [15:43] bazhang, Are there any other GUI's available for PPTP VPN connections than NetworkManager? [15:43] Question: Wouldnt it be much easier to port Adobe Illustrator (any CS version) to Linux, rather than run it in Wine? [15:43] ahaha [15:43] drash: can you tell me how to do that? [15:43] bazhang: so, this really must mean someone else was on the machine right? I don't know anything that can restart your machine without user intervention [15:43] bloody_: well, changing block size likely means that it have to twiddle every bit on the disk, so yea.. I guess so [15:43] noob-africa_: no its closed source, how would you port it? [15:44] ok then i hope all will be fine [15:44] fent: You're sure it rebooted and GDM didn't just crash or something? [15:44] Radi1 i'm on xubuntu as it happens, but do you know you're way around Synaptic ? [15:44] Ah Hah [15:44] .join [15:44] drash: yes [15:44] coldlook, # [15:44] * zSoilworker Hallo.

[15:45] mgolisch: reverse engineering? [15:45] noob-africa_: lol? [15:45] mgolisch: data to data? is it possible? [15:45] well, look for that particular package Radi1 and it should install fine, did it this morning [15:45] mgolisch, yes, it is possible [15:45] so can anyone help my with my second monitor issue? [15:45] mumrah, sure [15:45] drash: can you tell me which one is it? [15:45] bonezAU: I am having difficulty extending my desktop to a second monitor. I am using 8.04 and the new Xorg Screen Resolution utility. Any attempts to modify xorg.conf (like I have done previously) have resulted in a broken X [15:45] noob-africa_: maybe, but why? just run it in windows [15:45] bazhang: there were some vulnerabilities weren't there? with ssh and ssl... coulda just been a brute force attack... though it doesn't really seem all that likely [15:45] how can i check the status of hellanzb in the terminal ? [15:46] drash: there are alot of gstreamer [15:46] gstreamer-0.10-plugins-good Radi1 [15:46] mumrah, do you have an Nvidia, ATI or other graphics card?

[15:47] douye: Perhaps I don't understand what you mean. Is hellenzb a user? [15:47] I just deleted all of my old trash and it overwrote my inbox [15:47] just a second Radi1, i'm on the phone, brb ok [15:47] ryanprior: hellanzb is a usenet download program :P [15:47] EEE900Tinkering: It is possible, yes. [15:48] ipconfig >>> what is the ubuntu equivalent? ifconfig, lshw -class network and sudo mii-tool will not bring up my default gateway - what will please? [15:48] douye: Ah, my previous suggestion made 0 sense then. [15:48] bonezau: i am using a second monitor presently, but it is only a clone of my desktop - i want to be able to extend my desktop across my laptop screen and this monitor [15:48] ryanprior: :P [15:48] mumrah, hmm ok, that makes it a little more difficult. I know there are utilities available for Nvidia cards that allow you to configure it all from the GUI. Unfortunately i'm not too clued up on the INtel cards. AHH HAHAHA [15:48] drash: ok.. [15:48] douye: You'll have to read its man pages and figure out how to check its status. [15:48] just tried running mplayer... doesnt work either [15:48] Is there a way to have 2 apps playing different audio on same device? Right now it says, that the device is busy.... [15:48] has anyone use VirtualBox box before? [15:48] Andycas: Yes, that's what PulseAudio in Ubuntu 8.04 is designed to do. [15:48] !anyone | nikoboy [15:48] nikoboy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:49] mumrah, yes, I understand. I have an IBM Thinkpad at work and I have only been able to get the clone working. I've never tried anything else as I have a 22" widescreen on my desk, so I just close the lid on my laptop. It also has an intel graphics card. hahahaahhaaaaaaaaaah [15:49] nikoboy: i installed it, tried to run it, didnt understand it, postponed it for later [15:49] hey everybody. What is the best way to use msn webcam under ubuntu? [15:49] RyanPrior: but as ive understood, some apps dont support pulseaudio? Is there a way to make it default? [15:49] bonezau: *sigh* [15:49] RyanPrior: lol [15:49] Andycas: some apps do not support PulseAudio, but I am told that there is a way to redirect their audio to the PA system. Couldn't tell you how though. [15:49] !lol | noob-africa_ [15:49] noob-africa_: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[15:52] !helpme | arvind_khadri [15:52] arvind_khadri: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [15:52] bazhang, I have nothing off-topic to discuss, as I said, i'm here to help others and learn about things myself ahah [15:53] Pici, I am not a troll. [15:54] Radi1: do you use the totem gstreamer version ? forgot to ask .. cause that throws up the question to download and install the needed codecs as you go, no more than confirming ... [15:54] can you use variables in cron scripts? [15:54] bazhang: no one else has access. I looked through auth.log, and syslog. I don't see anything obviously wrong :-/. [15:55] Radi1: totem uses Gstreamer by default. [15:55] fent when did you see it restarted? could it have been a power spike? [15:55] is it cool to ask noob ?s here [15:55] kreeper: We love noob questions. [15:55] Hammer89: yes it was a restart - /var/log/syslog.log shows a restart at 7:50am today :-/ I wasn't up yet. I don't see any other restarts in the log for weeks back (so it's not something that was scheduled) [15:55] kreeper, sure [15:55] Someone must tell me how to make a wlan device fetch an ip adress from DHCP within a terminal please! iwlist scan shows networks unencrypted but it doesnt connect :/ === doogers is now known as doogersAway [15:55] !away > doogersAway [15:56] drash: I'm sorry i don't understand what you mean, but i installed gstreamer when i played mp3 for the first time with totem, and i checked synaptics that i have gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed [15:56] bazhang: this morning, could a power spike have triggered a soft restart? The OS detect the power spike the restart on its own, or is that not likely? [15:56] howbag, sudo dhclient wlan0 [15:56] Is there some way to see easily and fast how much space a folder uses ? [15:57] fent just trying to cover all possibilities [15:57] fent: hrm... disturbing... I just installed the upgrades though so hopefully that's a long-gone issue :P [15:57] give ncdu a try! [15:57] douye: I know there is, but I always forget it because I like the graphical tool. [15:57] bazhang: *kisses* [15:57] thanks! [15:57] douye: du /parent/folder -h [15:57] drash: maybe rebooting will solve the problem? [15:57] ncdu [15:57] is there any way to check a ntfs partition for errors [15:57] in ubuntu? [15:58] anyone tried ddclient [15:58] bazhang: yep thanks. I'm not sure what the appropriate response is here... reinstall OS? What steps can i take to check whether there was really a compromise (or is the restart itself enough evidence?) [15:58] has anyone tried out flash10, yet? what is it with the so-called Ubuntu support? [15:58] Radi1: it shouldn't be necessary, but it wouldn't hurt .. [15:59] drash: i will try rebooting.. hope it works, thanks for helping [15:59] :-) [15:59] have to go Radi1, will be back in an hour or so, hope you can get it going [16:00] fent that seems over much; do you use ssh-server? [16:00] hi, where can i get the latest wine RPM packages for ubuntu? [16:00] ryanprior: what tool do you use then? [16:00] Hello. I had Windows XP on the first (and only) partition. After having resized the NTFS file system (using the Ubuntu install CD) Windows still boots fine. [16:00] bazhang: yep, and i had it unpached for about 8 hours on Tuesday [16:00] is wine very stable or is it still not good for windows games [16:00] But when I create a 2nd partition for Ubuntu in the space now available behind NTFS I get "Can't read media. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" (translated) from NTLDR. Deleting the 2nd partition and restoring the first one fixes this. [16:00] douye: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer (or baobob on cli) [16:00] fent well get the updates, generate some new keys first off [16:01] bazhang: done and done =) [16:01] Any idea how to make Windows start when there is a Ubuntu partition on the hard disk? [16:01] nikoboy, ubuntu has wine in Synaptic package manager, no need to go thr rpm stuff ;) [16:02] wine in a manager, it sounds off -topic i know, buit it works [16:02] nikoboy, get from apt-get forget rpm :) [16:02] how can I get the gnucompiler and my kernel headers - just installed ubuntu [16:02] Hey, I have a problem with my desktop resolutions. I've edited my xorg.conf to add my resolution (1280x1024) but xfce still wants to use 800x600 even after an X restart. It's like it's ignoring the xorg.conf totally. Any ideas?

I've just made the jump to Ubuntu from Winblows, and now I need to create a backup. I want to backup my /home to a SAMBA server. I used to use SyncToy in Windows, which would allow me to "sync" files from my laptop to the SAMBA server. Will rsync do this for me? [16:29] dury launch from terminal but spell it right :) [16:29] sorry Synaptic [16:29] grass0101: i would say rsync, but i don't think it syncs well with fat partitions [16:29] dury, sudo synaptic [16:29] hi, my networkspeed has dropped to a very low rate the last couple of days. won't go over 80kb/s and it doesnt matter wheter i download files from ftp locally or external http.

[16:31] grass0101: nfs is faster, but you have to make sure the username/group settings are set correctly across both machines [16:31] wanna xmms [16:31] grass0101: i think rsync works best over ssh... it's what i use for backups. if you don't use windows, stay away from samba [16:31] What is the point of gksu over sudo? i just tried them both and gksu is even a tad slower [16:32] hi, my networkspeed has dropped to a very low rate the last couple of days. won't go over 80kb/s and it doesnt matter wheter i download files from ftp locally or external http. Anyone got an idea? [16:32] dury: ? [16:32] Is there any way to make terminal have timestamps?

[17:26] :c [17:26] how helpful am i [17:26] hiptobecubic: you can stop rhythmbox from launching when you connect an ipod, not sure if that's exactly what you want [17:27] FuzzyFox0: adjust the screen resolution to suit your monitor, and enable your wifi [17:27] it not working [17:27] gordonjcp, if it's open and i mount my ipod rhythmbox tries to search it for playable files and finds all kinds of things because i use rockbox instead of itunes [17:27] that my prob [17:27] dury: what doesnt? the package installer or xmms itself ? [17:27] Can you speak in russo [17:27] ?¿?¿ [17:27] gordonjcp, no i figured that one out :D now i want the ipod not to appear on the left under "source" [17:27] FuzzyFox0: try to be a bit more specific ;-) [17:27] douye: sorry ... the xmms itself [17:27] screen res max seems to be 800x600 and i can find no wireless option in the network bit [17:27] Pici: but it seems I am getting also not-security related updates. :\ [17:28] FuzzyFox0, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto you might find an answer here [17:28] but yet, there is no update from ff3-b4 to ff3-b5 [17:28] Gin: Then that package has not been updated in backports. [17:28] gordonjcp, or is there a way i can rebuild the itunes style database so it doesn't take forever searching everything? [17:28] dury: it just wont start or do you get a error ? [17:28] gnubie: and the wireless? [17:28] gordonjcp, just the database files [17:28] hiptobecubic: you can disable the ipod plugin in rhythmbox...that should stop it i guess [17:28] hiptobecubic: you can stop rhythmbox launching when you plug an ipod in [17:28] ramukmar: yea, that too [17:28] ramukmar, i tried that and it had no effect on anything. [17:28] Pici: are you Mark Shuttleworth? [17:29] hi, is there any good hardware benchmarking tools like 3dmark? [17:29] douye: I've typed on terminal as well and it said bash: xmms: command not found [17:29] Gin: What? No. [17:29] hiptobecubic: meh, rhythmbox is acting stubborn eh? ;) [17:29] gordonjcp, yeah i did that and now it doesn't open. which is good. but if it is open and there is an ipod it starts searching [17:29] hiptobecubic: starts searching even after you disable the plugin? weird [17:29] hiptobecubic: hm, don't know then [17:29] dury: hmm weird, try reinstalling it [17:29] hey, i got a cable tv and im intersted to broadcast it with stream media.. is that posibble? with what software? [17:29] dury: use audacity [17:29] krupa^: with vlc [17:29] gordonjcp, ramukmar, as i understand it, Rhythmbox will use the itunes.db file if it's there, but i don't know how to make one [17:30] gordonjcp: if he wants to use xmms, let him it works fine here [17:30] dury: sorry, audacious [17:30] douye: xmms is dead [17:30] gordonjcp: xmms is not dead [17:30] it had a recent release and cvs has activity [17:30] please dont spread lies [17:30] gordonjcp, so? if he wants it.. tell him how to get it working not that he should use something else [17:30] how to change the xsane scanning device [17:31] gnubie: what about my internet though [17:31] is that live stream?

[17:33] FuzzyFox0: none at all [17:33] how to select or change if xsane detect wrong scanner [17:33] FuzzyFox0: I could sit and throw random guesses out, or you could go and find out what kind of wifi card you have [17:34] does audacious handle media libraries? or do you have to do everything with massive playlists? [17:34] kk [17:34] thanks anyhow [17:34] hiptobecubic: no, audacious is basically a modern version of xmms [17:34] FuzzyFox0, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560 [17:34] hi [17:34] gnubie: some people don't want to be helped... [17:34] gordonjcp, i never used xmms. what does that mean? no library? [17:34] is it possible to install ubuntu server using serial console? [17:34] I'm interested in analysis program "R". Is it a graphical program or? [17:35] hiptobecubic: big playlists [17:35] I want to use xsane to scan document. but xsane detect my tv tuner card as scanner. anyone can help [17:35] Hello. I installed Ubuntu using the CD installer. I chose the suggested option "shrinks existing NTFS on /dev/hda1". GRUB installed fine and I can boot Ubuntu (from hda5/hd(0,4)). But when I select "Windows XP" I get "Can't read ... Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" from NTLDR. [17:35] When I restore the first 63 sectors bytes of hda (everything before hda1) Windows boots. But as soon as I create a 2nd partition (even without installing GRUB) Windows boot fails. Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it? [17:35] gordonjcp, ok thanks [17:35] x multimedia system [17:36] !xsane [17:36] Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

I've done it before with Comcast but now I have DSL. [17:37] sshock: wget http://checkip.dyndns.com [17:37] I read something about changing my router to bridge mode, but I'm kinda lost. [17:37] or something like that [17:37] sshock: What exactly are you trying to do? [17:38] I want my linux box to be my firewall / router. [17:38] sshock: use my method, dyndns will report the ip that you are connected through (your 'public' ip) [17:38] It will be doing site-to-site vpn, among other things. [17:38] gordonjcp: Yes, I completely restored the first 63 sectors, so the partition table was restored, too. There's only hda1 now and Windows boots. The size of the NTFS is actually half, so at least this part of the partitioning process worked. Now I tried to create the 2nd partition for Ubuntu manually (not touching anything else in the boot area), but Windows doens't boot. Any idea? [17:38] anyone here using ubuntu 64 [17:38] arakthor: not sure if that's going to be good enough [17:38] iptables - strongswan Easy. I use Slackware for my firewalls. [17:39] I've already got a working setup with ipsec racoon [17:39] hey, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I set up my partitions correctly? [17:39] The problem is simply I need to connect directly to the Internet which is normal with Comcast but not Qwest. [17:40] I had trouble with Racoon connecting to non linux VPNs. Cisco, Watchguard, etc. etc don't seem to work well with it. [17:40] I have qwest setup in many client locations connected directly [17:40] I'm actually connecting to cisco vpn, and it works believe it or not :) === esperegu_ is now known as esperegu [17:40] you need to configure the actiontec or whatever you use for a static ip arrangement, shutdown DHCP/NAT and you are good to go [17:41] It's 2wire [17:41] there's extensive documention on qwests site for that. [17:41] vlt: not really, but restoring the first 63 sectors will splat your newly-created partition table ;-) [17:41] I found a page that tells how to make it work in "bridge" mode, which I think is what I need to do, but then after that I'm lost. === bamed|away is now known as bamed [17:41] PKBoo: do they work? [17:41] i clicked a link in firefox and got misteriously logged off, how do i find out what happened [17:42] could anyone help to install xmms, please... I'm doing my best and I can't :( [17:42] what's the url to paste? [17:42] I think what I want is to run a PPPoE client on my linux server. [17:42] XMMS is a near dead project [17:43] if you want a MP3/OGG/ player Amarok is your baby [17:43] how do i make the thumb (back/forward) mouse buttons work in everything, not just firefox? ive spent all night trying to get this to work but all the walkthroughs are about getting them to work in general and nothing about if they are working only in firefox [17:43] gordonjcp: Yes, sure. Now windows boots and uses the smaller NTFS on the full size hda1. I wanted to create hda2 to access the installed Ubuntu again, but then windows doesn't boot anymore. [17:43] I loved XMMS but.. that's life [17:43] banshee is music player, looks simple and straight forward [17:44] my [17:44] my package list won't update [17:44] vlt: maybe googling for "ubuntu dual boot" will point you in the right direction [17:44] it only shows me what's installed [17:44] Is there anyone who installed Ubuntu by shrinking an existing NTFS partition who can confirm that this worked? [17:44] Hmm, right now my router uses pppoa, but I wonder if pppoe will work too... [17:44] vlt I have [17:44] vlt what's up? [17:44] sshock: it wont work unless you want to change isp [17:44] Zombocom: Does Windows still bott? [17:44] I have shrunk many an NTFS partition but not in the ubuntu setup, you might try using knoppix and qparted or parted to do that [17:44] boot? [17:44] AtomicMongoose: xmms --> audacious [17:45] vlt: i have kinda, i just made a free space thing and did the standard partition option after it [17:45] hmm, I could buy an ATM card? That sounds harder though... [17:45] vlt yes, the GRUB bootloader allows you to select it on startup, I reccomend shrinking the volume in windows to prevent damage to the ntfs partition though [17:45] douye, Zombocom: Hmmmm, my Windows won't start anymore. Only if I restore the original partiton table. [17:46] vlt, then you must have done something wrong.. :/ as mine still boots perfectly [17:46] douye did you edit the partition table in linux or windows [17:46] and vlt do you have grub installed [17:46] zombocom, vlt: in the linux installer [17:46] anyone know how to add a network on x-chat [17:47] x-chat network list [17:47] wwhere [17:47] perhaps the "Add" button? [17:47] I seriously need help guys [17:47] ctrl-s works too Ben [17:47] (in the network list) [17:47] the package list is broken [17:47] like synaptic updated the list of packages to nothing [17:47] click add,. rename the New Network [17:47] fill i the blanks [17:47] Zombocom: I had it installed, saw the boot menu. Ubuntu started fine, but Windows not. After restoring the first 63 sectors of the hd (erasing GRUB and the other partitions from the table) Windows boots. [17:47] i see the network list but the network i want (irc.gnome.org) isnt there [17:47] hmm, I just switched my router to PPPoE and it's still working. [17:47] i cant find any way to add one [17:48] So do I switch my router to bridge mode, then on my linux box I run pppoe client or something? [17:48] the interface is sort of.. stupid. it don't save changes unless you tab through everything [17:48] ah vlt there is a chance when editing the ntfs partition that it gets damaged [17:48] Zombocom: did you filter the package list? [17:48] look for something call New Network in the networks list, I bet your setup is there [17:48] Kl4m no clue what that means [17:49] zombocom: you checked your settings of the synaptic ? [17:49] douye hold on [17:49] Zombocom: in synaptic there are buttons bottom left to filter the packages by state [17:49] Zombocom: But it doesn't seem to be damaged. When I recreate hda1 as the only (large) partition, Windows runs fine.

[17:51] My ADSL connection used to work in Ubuntu no problem, but now it's not working at all. My network adapter connects directly to the ADSL modem (no router). Even the live CD doesn't connect, so I don't think it's a problem with my configuration. I have openSuSE and Windows XP installed as well as Ubuntu, and they both connect no problem. Sometimes in Ubuntu it spontaneously connects, but normally it doesn't.

[18:14] piju_, no [18:14] gordonjcp: and then [18:14] tim167: there isn't a resume image, so the kernel is booting normally [18:14] sadiel: also, you can apt-get install alsaconf-gtk, and then it will show up in the preferences menu as "Default Sound Card", and then you can select the card from a dropdown menu [18:14] European-African: and then boot off it [18:14] Philh: but it doesnt load the desktop, it stays empty [18:14] !ask | piju_ [18:14] piju_: 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. :-) [18:14] oii [18:14] Philh; ok [18:14] koheleth: it is similar: http://beatniksoftware.com/gimmie/Main_Page [18:14] Thanks a lot TheOV [18:14] gordonjcp: its not booting really, the desktop doesnt load... [18:14] European-African: might not work, but it might be worth a shot [18:14] tim167, that's probably unrelated to the message you're reporting [18:14] Ali_ix, thanks [18:15] koheleth: you'll want to install gnome-main-menu, gimmie is similar but not the slab menu you're looking for === ahubl is now known as gramps [18:15] ok, i see the difference between gutsy and hardy ? [18:15] tim167: the desktop not loading isn't the same as not booting [18:15] ok [18:15] why hardy use pulseaudio ? [18:15] nullie, here is my xorg.0.log http://www.pastebin.ca/1019209 [18:15] ramukmar, is it not in ubuntu then? === gramps is now known as grumpygramps [18:15] koheleth: it is in the repos [18:15] piju_, yes, hardy uses pulseaudio [18:15] * Linxster-brb- Hi all i need help i am running Ubunt desk top on my server box i never used linux of any kind at all i need help getting php my sql apache plus a [18:15] * Linxster-brb- t like a pc no ftp at all as of yet [18:15] gordonjcp, ok, any idea how i can get the desktop to load ? [18:15] ok [18:16] gordonjcp: how about mounting the iso and then copying the contents to the usb, then booting from it? [18:16] Morph3us; why pulseaudio ? why not alsa ? [18:16] Linxster-brb-: Please dont send your questions as /me actions [18:16] * Linxster-brb- i didn't use /me sorry [18:16] piju_, i don't know exactly why, i head that pulseaudio is more advanced that alsa.. [18:17] Linxster-brb-: you are using that already [18:17] European-African: you'd need to make it bootable, but that would work [18:17] Linxster-brb-: Goto System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, then go to Edit > Mark Packages by Task, and check on LAMP server, then click okay, and then apply [18:17] Morph3us; means uses more memory than alsa ? [18:17] Morph3us: pulseaudio uses alsa [18:17] gordonjcp: ok thanx [18:17] thanks TheOV [18:18] Morph3us: pulseaudio takes care of all (or most) sound streams, and outputs them through ASLA [18:18] *ALSA [18:18] it allows multiple streams, etc. [18:18] so using wubi, is there a way to get my files from windows onto ubuntu ? [18:18] hi, everyone [18:18] somebody here has ATI Radeon? i am having troubles with Hardy that i don't get in Gutsy [18:18] tim167: not without seeing it [18:18] !pulseaudio | Morph3us [18:18] Morph3us: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [18:19] I'm searching for wellknown artists in the field of free software [18:19] who do you will recommend me? [18:19] anyone familiar with linuxmce? I am trying to get my tv card to scan for channels (I am using VDR) - when I use "scan" from dvb-utils it says that frontend0 is busy [18:19] linus torvalds [18:19] teleyinex: Try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, your question isnt related to Ubuntu support. [18:19] ok [18:20] sorry [18:20] it's cool teleyinex [18:20] cant see that gimme anywhere? [18:20] had to start somewhere [18:20] ubottu, thanks for the info [18:20] Morph3us: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:20] Hi I lost my connection to php index file can someone show me how to recover it due to upgrading my browser [18:20] http://pastebin.ca/1019187 [18:20] Somebody have experience with the customization of the Dapper cd installer? [18:21] someone help when I tell synaptic to update the list of packages it gives me this http://pastebin.ca/1019187 [18:21] Linxster-brb-: did it work? [18:21] gordonjcp: its just an empty desktop with mouse cursor, in the terminal (ctrl+alt+1) i saw aforementioned message... [18:21] yes grumpygramps [18:22] hi, i got some rkhunter warnings about files called /usr/sbin/unhide & /usr/sbin/unhide-linux26. anyone knows whats this about? [18:22] tim167: X-shaped cursor, and "tread plate" background? [18:23] gordonjcp: no the ubuntu sandcolor and normal cursor [18:23] oh ok [18:23] Linxster-brb-: it will download and install the packages for apache, mysql, and php. I believe the web root is /var/www/ although I think you need root access to that directory to move and edit files there [18:23] does it get as far as letting you log in? [18:23] gordonjcp: yes this is after logging in [18:23] tim167: ok, sounds like something in your .gnome directories could be borked [18:24] gordonjcp: i can go back to the login by doing ctrl+alt+delete, i am booting from a usb key [18:24] tim167: hrm [18:24] tim167: do you know how to make a new user from the command line? [18:24] gordonjcp: hm never done that... [18:24] hey guys, im trying to ssh to my ubuntu from a windows machine in my local network and its giving me connection refused, any idea why? [18:24] so using wubi, is there a way to get my files from windows onto ubuntu ? [18:25] hey everyone! [18:25] I need a little help [18:25] g0tcha: have you got the ssh server installed?

Ubuntu DVD iso's are only available from cdimage? As I can't seem to find them on the regular download page [18:26] koheleth I don't know what a slab is so I can't help you [18:27] koheleth: what are you trying to find? [18:27] Zombocom, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Slab?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mainmenu.png [18:27] that [18:27] TheOV: what repository should I use to downlaod alsa-control? I'm on Ubuntustudio 8.04 [18:27] it's alsaconf-gtk [18:27] not alsa-control [18:27] oh, ok [18:28] TheOV your tip didn't work [18:28] Rampage: It could be a new thing, but I thought that (ignoring UbuntuStudio), Ubuntu disks were only CDs. [18:28] Somebody have experience with a customitazion of a install cd? [18:28] Zombocom: which one was that? [18:28] koheleth: aha i have that installed [18:28] how can I get this working in my hardy FF3b5: http://www.scifi.com/rewind/?sid=32850?? [18:28] lemme see if i can remember what the package is called [18:28] any other bsg fans out there? [18:28] :) and... [18:28] ok grumpygramps how do i go about that like i said when it comes to linux i am a retard [18:29] I need to install amarok+mp3 support on a Kubuntu 8.04 LiveCD on a machine without network. So i need to download .debs and just install them there. But I don't know which debs exactly do I need to download and how. [18:29] koheleth: go into the add/remove program (gnome-app-install) [18:29] and search for application browser [18:29] TheOV [18:29] ok [18:29] ok [18:29] grumpygramps, Thats what I thought too until I came across http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ [18:29] TheOV sorry for the blank post: http://pastebin.ca/1019187 [18:29] np [18:30] Linxster-brb-: Places > Computer > Filesystem > / > var > www [18:30] I just need to download Amarok + mp3 support and dependencies as .debs, I don't know how [18:30] hi :) [18:30] kante: You could try searching packages.debian.org. It will tell you what dependancies you need and give you the debs. [18:31] thanks! [18:31] kante, lic0m: packages.ubuntu.com [18:31] sure, ubuntu [18:31] why is mozilla beta constatanly crusing when sufing heavy pages like hi5.com [18:31] ?? [18:31] Rampage: huh, thanks, i didnt know about that. And to answer your question, yes it seems that they are only available through cdimages, although putting the links on the main download page would be a good idea [18:32] TheOV: cant find alsaconf on synaptic, not can "sudo apt-get install alsaconf-gtk" on the terminal: "sudo apt-get install alsaconf-gtk" [18:32] oops, gone! [18:32] grumpygramps, Yes I thought so too. there are times I wish I had a dvd iso [18:32] lol [18:32] * Rampage sets one to download [18:32] back [18:32] sorry [18:32] TheOV: cant find alsaconf on synaptic, not can "sudo apt-get install alsaconf-gtk" on the terminal: "sudo apt-get install alsaconf-gtk" [18:32] * grumpygramps wishes he wasn't at work [18:33] it's cool TheOV [18:33] Zombocom: if you said anything while it was gone, please repeat it [18:33] no bsg fans in here?

[18:36] hi [18:36] it says direct internet connection TheOV [18:37] Eulex: even if i JUST generated it? [18:37] sadiel: if sci fi has a legal way to do it, I thought I'd try that first... but maybe it's more trouble than it's worth [18:37] and it's non-public? [18:37] Codemaster: if you just generated it with the upgrades, no [18:37] sadiel: what bittorrent client do you use?

[18:38] Linxster-brb-: You can try the install process again, and you can pastebin the results for our (other chatters) here [18:38] jdavies: okay, thanks.. is there a way to ignore this just for a few days, at least?

[19:02] ringer, k [19:02] Zombocom: yeah [19:02] if you can [19:02] is there an easy way to make drives mount before you try to access them? (the hard drive only show on desktop after being clicked in "places") Any links to files on the hd have to be clicked twice. (only on first access though) [19:02] TheOV: jack is running now, but somehow qsynth (used for midi playback) is not working. By the way, have u been able to load soundfonts into yout Audigy and use them for midi playback? [19:02] Hi, how can I activate new entries that I added to the /etc/services file? [19:03] bombuxp: you can add the drives to /etc/fstab [19:03] I recently installed postfix skipped configuration. When I go back to work on it using dpkg-reconfigure postfix the configuration screen comes up but the text is all garbled.

[19:04] when i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it ONLY configures my keyboard, how come ? [19:04] I thought that was why they showed up in places in the first place [19:04] pen: and your sound led worked perfectly before the wireless fix? [19:04] I'll try that then [19:04] pen: try uninstalling that package and taking a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83789 [19:04] bombuxp: i think they just autoconfig themselves if they arent in /etc/fstab [19:05] Anyone have a sec to help me with boot parameters for an install? [19:05] so using wubi, is there a way to get my files from windows onto ubuntu ? [19:05] bombuxp: which means that if you mount the drives "normally", then /etc/mtab will have the proper entries for your drives, so you can copy/paste into /etc/fstab [19:05] tim167: did you allow it to fix itself in recovery? [19:05] pen: i have to take off now, but im sure there are about a hundred other people in here that know more about this than me. Good luck with fixing the LED! [19:05] Xcell: how do i do that ?

[19:06] it's not in mtab even though I can access it [19:07] tim167: when you reboot..keep hitting the escape button...this will allow you to go to recovery kernel...once in there do the prompt..and it will ask if you want to fix (X) [19:07] TheOV: I have already a lot of soundfont banks. I use to use them running jack and qsynth. Seems not to be working right now, so I got to either fix the qsynth issues or upload the soundfonts directy to the sound card and use the sound card for midi Playback. Have you been able to use the Audigy for "hardware" midi playback (not software emulated one, like using Timidity or Qsynth). If not, I guess I will just have to find the way to fix Qsynth... === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco [19:07] help! with my t61 running hardy, sound works *for awhile* when i boot it up........ but after awhile, it stops working, and the only way i can get it working is restart the laptop..... any ideas on getting it working?

[21:07] I had to use a different vid card to do the initial install [21:07] soundray, thanks. think it did the trick [21:08] yowshi: how do I do that [21:08] So I'm setting up an iptables forward for port 443 to a network appliance at local address 192.168.120.7:443. My rule is simple: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to 192.168.120.7:443 When I do an nmap from the gateway box, (nmap 192.168.120.7 -p 443), I get an open port. When I do an nmap remotely, I get filtered. What am I doing wrong? [21:08] I'm a bit of a noob [21:08] Hi. I have a couple questions about power consumption. Ubuntu never seems to leave the c2 state and firefox uses _all_ my cpu. Is this common? Thanks. [21:08] Eins7ein: i forget the full command but it is in the xorg.conf file itself dpkg somethng something phigh something [21:09] ok I think I know what you are talking about [21:09] yes I tried that [21:09] larsbars: firefox shouldn't hog the CPU. If it does, exit, start it with 'firefox -safe-mode'. If it doesn't hog the CPU then, it's an add-on that's at fault. [21:09] Annirak: Is eth1 your wan interface? [21:09] I can only get to the login screen if I go into recovery mode and type telinit 3 [21:09] odd that always works for me. it resets it into the default low graphics mode and then i install the third party drivers [21:09] larsbars: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [21:10] soundray: thanks [21:10] hardy [21:10] 7.10 [21:10] gutsy [21:10] the thing about the c2 state bothers me more. debian used to stay in c3 nearly all the time, and now i'm in c2 66% of the time (unless firefox is running, of course :) [21:10] Lynet Yes [21:11] larsbars: hardy has all energy-saving features on all architectures (gutsy was lagging on amd64). Once you cure your firefox problem, you should be fine. [21:11] now checking gxchat [21:11] nice program [21:11] where do I get firefox 2 so my plugins work again ? [21:11] Lynet: eth0=slow-wan, eth1=fastwan, eth2=lan [21:11] Starnestommy: how do i use fbi ? [21:11] vegombrei: fbi imagename [21:11] soundray: i have this problem without firefox :( [21:11] larsbars: oh, I see. Maybe install bum and disable any services/daemons you don't need. [21:12] Can anyone tell me why hardy goes to a blank screen that's froen/hanging after x amount of minutes idle? Only recovery is ctrl + alt + backspace === the_real_brain is now known as Nils_GER [21:12] how can I run a mirc shell [21:12] oh .. how do i switch directories and hdd's thru terminal ... cd/music ? [21:12] larsbars: also consider enabling laptop-mode in /etc/default/acpi-support [21:12] cd/documents [21:12] weird. i thought i had that enabled. what's bum? [21:12] monestri: maybe it's crashing on a screensaver. Disable screensaver or switch to blank screen only [21:13] hello again [21:13] !bum | larsbars [21:13] larsbars: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [21:13] mateusz_g: just checking [21:13] bum is a pretty horrible piece of code [21:13] unfortunatly :( [21:13] :-( no highlighting [21:13] soundf_, screensaver is disabled [21:13] Starnestommy: how do i goto another hdd where the images are ? could you help me with the basic commands ? [21:13] thanks for the help. i'll try all that [21:13] ? [21:13] is it possible to turn it on? [21:13] what? [21:13] vegombrei: mount the other hard disk first [21:13] soundf_: I was meant [21:13] i have an rt2570usb wireless, but hardy loads the rt2500usb, how could i change this? [21:14] kk [21:14] Starnestommy: i think its already mount coz im playing music from it [21:14] I need help using ddrescue [21:14] Starnestommy: do i hafta mount it if the music is running thru the gui ? [21:14] vega--, use "cd directory" to change to another directory... use "ls" to list the files and directorys. [21:14] monestri: is anything enabled in System-Preferences-Power Management? [21:14] vegombrei, , use "cd directory" to change to another directory... use "ls" to list the files and directorys. [21:14] vegombrei: it's probably already mounted [21:15] nm found it, it was putting it to sleep after 30 minutes [21:15] I guess it can't recover from sleep [21:15] i thought I disabled that though [21:15] Well, on a related note, why do I get a blank screen on ctrl + alt +f1? [21:15] monestri: if you want to fix that, play with settings in /etc/default/acpi-support [21:15] SO. I'm a recent convert to Ubuntu on my laptop at home, and I ~inadvertantly upgraded the openssh stuff last night you know, the stuff that fixed the Debian ssl bug ..... um. well. my OpenVPN connection to the office no longer works. I understand why, openssl-vulnkey is rejecting the key I use for my openvpn connection.... [21:16] monestri: perhaps your video setup is incompatible with Ubuntu's default text mode. [21:16] What I need to know is how to fix this ... [21:16] The Giant black screen should have a login promt [21:16] mateusz_g: checking [21:16] nope [21:16] marciofrayze2: Starnestommy cd directory doent work [21:16] soundf_, acpi reffering to sleep or f1? [21:16] office sysadmin says, "I tain't touching our openvpn server. Forget it." [21:16] ::| [21:16] Am I screwed? [21:16] vegombrei: are you using the correct case? [21:17] vegombrei, what are you typing exactly [21:17] oh is it case sensitive ? [21:17] it is [21:17] Has anyone install "Frameworks" its a stop motion animation program [21:17] oh thanks, i've been looking to disable the acpi stuff [21:17] could you help me? is it possible to turn on highlighting of messeges with my nick? [21:17] 90% of it doesn't work anyway [21:18] Annirak: Are you sure packets from outside arrive at fastwan and not slow-wan? [21:18] can someone please help me get sound back on my system [21:18] mateusz_g: is this working? [21:18] please i have no idea how it broke but it aint working now [21:18] mateusz_g, you need client like mirc [21:18] what does "sudo modprobe uniput" accomplish? [21:18] yes, i see your nick highlighted [21:18] Gantz: it loads the uniput module into the kernel [21:18] gush [21:19] mateusz_g: just say someone else's nick in a message [21:19] it seems that only when i send to myself i doesn't highlight it [21:19] monestri: be careful, some machines are known to overheat when you disable ACPI [21:19] http://dpaste.com/50294/ why don't I have ssh-vulnkey? (and why is -client and -server kept back?) [21:19] mateusz_g: test [21:19] Lynet: Positive. I'm using the fastwan IP directly [21:19] yup [21:19] monestri: better to check if you can fix your DSDT with iasl. Tutorials abound on the web [21:19] when you send it it highlights correctly, thanks [21:19] Starnestommy: it doesn't seem to want to do that, or its just not confirming such [21:19] Starnestommy: how do i change hdd ? cd (hdd name) ? [21:19] soundray: i did all that and the fan finally stopped running continuously. q: which of powernowd or cpufreqd is better? neither? powertop still shows me in C2 most of the time, even without firefox. safe mode didn't change anything. [21:19] Gantz: if that command does not output anything, it worked [21:19] Anyone know a good place to start, when i am trying to get my ATI 9600 drivers up and running for Hardy Heron? [21:20] oho k [21:20] Starnestommy: thanks! [21:20] vegombrei: that depends on where it's mounted. It's usually somewhere in /media [21:20] what do you with about OSS versus ALSA? [21:20] hmm ok [21:20] when i installed ubuntu i wanst asked for any root password, is there any standard "start" password ? [21:20] *think* [21:20] larsbars: I can't say anything about the comparative merits of the two frequency managers. [21:20] scoopex_: there isn't one [21:20] !sudo | scoopex_ [21:20] scoopex_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [21:20] What is a "man page" ?? [21:21] manual [21:21] !man [21:21] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:21] psyco: a manual page shown using the man command [21:21] psyco: type 'man man' in a terminal and you'll learn [21:21] psyco: go to applications/terminal [21:21] The drivers worked untill i upgraded to this new ubuntu version now i cant get direct rendering back again [21:21] ahh thanks guys [21:21] oh wow i found it p[ulseaudio was tieing up my sound shit [21:21] i would have thought it would have been killed when i uninstalled it and logged out [21:21] psyco: *applications/accesories/terminal* [21:22] Annirak: Hmm.. Does logs/tcpdump show that the nat box drops the packets instead of forwarding them? [21:22] thanks guys :) [21:23] psyco: you can for example write: man ls [21:23] Yup figured it out :D [21:23] Good night l'irc :) [21:23] man mount [21:23] finger && fsck [21:24] * Shdwstar throws /dev/crappycdburner into /house/wall [21:24] hello, I was wondering if you could help me, I have been using vmware workstation on UBuntu, but it does not support exchange server 2007, do you know of any linux virtualization software that does? [21:24] lol Shdwstar [21:24] hi all can someone tell me how to load a specific module when alsa loads? I have to do "sudo modprobe snd_bt_sco" after every boot... [21:24] virtualbox seems to only support x86 and exchange server 2007 is 64bit [21:24] Lynet: "find / -iname tcpdump" returns no results === Leeroy is now known as Nick78 [21:24] James1213, how does VMware not support it? [21:24] theres no option for it as a vm [21:25] and ive tried to use server 2008 64 and vista 64b as a base [21:25] www.virtualbox.com [21:25] but it does not work says operating system not found [21:25] or the once it worked said no hard drive detected [21:25] awesome sausage virtual os [21:25] so what do you think about OSS vs. ALSA? [21:25] james1213, what version of VMware? [21:25] Annirak: Well, rule looks fine so I'm thinking there might be something else screwy. Does the appliance have default gateway set correctly? [21:25] its only x86 i saw [21:25] vmware 6.3... [21:25] I need umm.. shared libaries for ffmpeg.. as apposed to.. um static libraries? Any takers? [21:25] Can someone help me wiuth this error when running ./configure? http://pastebin.com/m5c90b9c3 [21:25] is there anyway to mount an iso image to a virtual drive? [21:25] vmware 6.1.33 [21:26] the one before the 6.5 beta [21:26] right [21:26] larsbars: have you seen the article "Extending Ubuntu's Battery Life" on phoronix.com? [21:26] I thought they added Server 2008 support. Maybe I'm thinking of the Beta [21:26] fishscene anyidea on how i could get it to work? [21:26] tmapj yes with mount command i believe [21:26] no server 2008 works [21:26] soundray: i haven't. i'll check it out. thanks. [21:26] exchange server 2007 is its own OS [21:26] and doesnt work [21:26] Anyone know a good place to start, when i am trying to get my ATI 9600 drivers up and running for Hardy Heron? [21:27] when installing postfix, the debconf default for the "mail name" setting is -e true, that looks f* up [21:27] david___: support.ati.com has drivers [21:27] hello ppl. is there a stats bot in here? im looking for ghodmode [21:27] larsbars: apparently the binary video drivers can be a problem [21:27] Starnestommy: hi how do i get into the my pictures folder .. cd My Pictures wont work [21:27] ~seen [21:27] soundray: i'm just using the intel i810, or whatever they changed it to [21:27] james1213, I'm not sure then. If an OS isn't listed by VMware, I usually "fake it" by selecting another OS. But I'm now horribly off-topic. I'm not familiar with Linux/Opensource Virtualization solutions. =\ [21:27] yes i downloaded and installed but fglrxinfo still shows Mesa something or another [21:28] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect [21:28] fishscene thats why i chose VIsta 64bit and server 2008 64bit [21:28] Lynet, I have no idea. The other ports I have forwarded appear to work. I'm also forwarding 5002,5003 to the appliance, both are open both in and outside. [21:28] david___: you should go through System-Administration-Hardware Drivers to install the ATI proprietary driver [21:28] but unfortunatly it didnt work on either [21:28] larsbars: that should be good [21:28] Other 64-bit OS? [21:28] yeh tried that too [21:28] NO OPerating SYstem FOund [21:28] hmm... I'm at the end of my rope then [21:29] Lynet: I am forwarding port 431 as well. It's closed inside, but shows up as filtered outside. Could it be something to do with the port being a low-numbered port? [21:29] Is there any programs like LimeWire for ubuntu? [21:29] Annirak: Hmm, if other ports work fine from outside then it isn't a routing issue. Could be some firewall rules interfering? [21:29] in gxchat how to list peoples on the channel? [21:29] Anyone know of a way to reduce choppy/distorted audio in jackd/apps that output through it? [21:30] scoopex_, nicotine [21:30] scoopex_, there is "Azereus" (or however you spell it) [21:30] scoopex_, gtkgnutella [21:30] this is weird, but happened on gutsy for me as well, after some time (a week or so after install) Firefox gets slower, any idea why? [21:30] hi there...what's the name of the command to start the gnome volume tray manager? [21:30] it's not gnome-volume-manager, is it? [21:30] scoopex limewire is available on linux [21:30] I can't recommend limewire for anyone. =( [21:30] !limewire | scoopex_ [21:31] scoopex_: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [21:31] Starnestommy: hi how do i get into the my pictures folder .. cd My Pictures wont work [21:31] ill ask another question while i am here not sure if i will get the same answer as before [21:31] ok, i found it [21:31] I want to be able to be prompted at outbound connections, so I know whats going on with my system [21:31] like a 3rd party firewall in windows [21:31] does such a program exist in Ubuntu? [21:31] james1213: not sure if it does it, but check out firewall [21:31] So I can allow/deny outbound [21:31] err, firestarter [21:32] james1213: yes [21:32] firestarter does not prompt you [21:32] bye [21:32] you set rules [21:32] ok, didn't know [21:32] I want to see a GUI saying /bin/app ex trying to.... [21:32] vegombrei: cd My\ Pictures [21:32] If gnome-panels are now showing up, even by killall gnome-panel, what do I do? [21:32] Lynet: Really basic firewall. I actually don't even have a drop rule in place yet. [21:32] how to install this *.tar.gz files? [21:32] how do i get opera (the browser) to turn up in the package manager [21:32] I think panda security included such a feature [21:32] james1213: check out firestarter, fwbuilder, fireflier, shorewall and ipkungfu [21:33] scoopex_: don't. Install software from the repositories whenever possible [21:33] irc://irc.torrent-damage.net:6667/torrents [21:33] first 3 have a gui, I believe [21:33] soundray: it worked but is that the way to get into all directories ? [21:33] wild oscar, the firewalls I have looked at only let you set rules, there are no prompts [21:33] scoopex_ *.gz is gzip file at console type gzip --help [21:33] sry.. was trying to go into it [21:33] err no [21:33] i forget the command [21:33] could anyone tell me how to zip directory? ???? [21:33] vegombrei: if there's a space, you can escape it or enclose the folder name in quotes [21:33] oh, that [21:33] hey.. i got a problem with switching to ttyX where x is 1-6 the screen resolution misfeets it.. is there a way to change this for tty? [21:33] the problem I have with linux as a whole is I dont know what is going on with the system, I dont know what app is doing what [21:34] right-click directory, select "Create Archive" [21:34] james1213: have no idea, but I don't think you'll be lucky [21:34] Annirak: Could you pastebin your iptables --list? [21:34] how may i install nicotine the easiest way? [21:34] The fact I know linux is readable entirly from the source code, I feel safe [21:34] firestarter does prompt for blocked inbound connections.. [21:34] james1213: it's a learning curve. Give yourself some time [21:34] but I would like to know whats happening [21:34] could anyone tell me how to mount an iso image to a virtual drive? [21:34] scoopex_: through Applications-Add/Remove Software [21:34] gnine [21:34] gotta go [21:34] cheers [21:35] inbound connection are no problem seeing as I haev a hardware router === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [21:35] its only monitoring outbound [21:35] If gnome-panels are now showing up, even by killall gnome-panel, what do I do? [21:35] Lynet: http://pastebin.com/d29d0df90 [21:35] which p2p networks are popular in asia? exept torrent [21:36] asiaNET5 [21:36] thats so off topic for this channel [21:36] :> [21:36] indeed [21:36] does anyone know good upcoming mmorpg for ubuntu ?

[21:36] oh sorry, my chat wasn't scrolling and I lol'd at something else =S [21:37] oops, sorry, i was waiting to get my ubuntu question answered :) [21:37] I don't know of any upcoming games for Ubuntu (Or linux in general), but I do know of at least 1 [21:37] as much as I love linux, I still feel I know more about whats happening on it on Windows rather than Linux [21:37] that is already out [21:37] hey all [21:38] james1213, Understandable. I still have that feeling. [21:38] What is the installation path for Firefox in 8.04 ? [21:38] If gnome-panels are now showing up, even by killall gnome-panel, what do I do? [21:38] james1213: i dont' think anything like that exists for linux [21:38] anyone? If gnome-panels are now showing up, even by killall gnome-panel, what do I do? [21:38] anyone know a command to make transmission a default for bittorrent instead of miro in capital [21:38] james1213, Ubuntu 8 has something called "System Monitor" which is similar to task manager in Windows. that might help you get started with "nailing down what's going on" [21:39] in nicotine i got this server: server.slsknet.org:2240, but i cant connect, why? [21:39] perhaps thats why its easy to hack once your on a linux box [21:39] james1213:- i feel the opposite, [21:39] can anyone recommend another browser than firefox, in the ubuntu repos [21:39] !epiphany | alado2 [21:39] epiphany-browser alado2 [21:39] Factoid epiphany not found [21:39] seeing as the average user does not know what running on linux/supposed to be running, doesnt look at current connection, once youve hacked linux its much easy to maintain the hack [21:39] with windows its becoming the opposite [21:40] of course the thing is hacking it in the first place [21:40] hey.. i got a problem with switching to ttyX where x is 1-6 the screen resolution misfeets it.. is there a way to change this for tty? [21:40] is the problem [21:40] alado2, epiphany-browser, galeon [21:40] completely OT, but has anyone personally built a shed before? [21:40] chapai, I feel like I know linux isnt doing anything I don't know about [21:41] btw is your name a reference from stargate? [21:41] james1213: lol, then you're mistaken [21:41] how can i connect to server.slsknet.org:2240 at nicotine? ore is there any other sever i should use?

(gutsy and/or hardy) [21:42] Annirak: Sorry, not really sure what the problem is. It looks like it should work, but it doesn't. [21:42] well, that topic is completely unrelated to what you stated; and yes, there are applications that monitor what you do and phone home [21:42] fishscene I know why Linux is better, [21:42] There is rumor that the C.I.A. Co-created the code for Vista to help locate terrorist activities. [21:42] so, quick sanity check, the 64 bit version is what I want with a xeon based server right?

[21:46] KlrSpz- it says it's being used.how do i paste it? [21:46] me like mplayer moust [21:46] when i connect using command ssh -p 33 poomalai.homelinux.com, it says connection refused [21:46] mplayer comes close, but has a few things i miss from mpc [21:46] does anybody know how do i fix the resolution / change reso.. of all tty's?

[21:47] Logitech G15, after i install the dependencies i'm told to install the packages? when i do the installs always fail [21:47] esj1234, you know how to handle ubuntu? cause im a noob there ^^ [21:47] !ohmy > jason_1 [21:47] ive used Ubuntu since 6.06 [21:47] mplayer is the POOP i only use the commandline verison as well. it renders everything i throw at it, including partial files.

[21:48] esj1234, maybe you know how to help me ;) [21:48] kakoonia: first step is to google my suggestion [21:48] k [21:48] jason_1: thats reason i like it, it allways works + nice key shortcut and fast forwarding [21:48] kakoonia: http://www.mepis.org/node/2992 [21:48] ;) gotcha Thanks.. [21:48] first result [21:48] burnerwarrior008: ga [21:48] how do I see in the terminal what my hdd info is .... [21:48] ? [21:48] zethero1: what hdd info do you need? [21:48] why did you put -p 33 in the first one, did you specify port 33 in sshd_config poomalai [21:49] zethero1: ? define hdd info [21:49] simplexio, i always svn and compile my own stuff, i have some speical options compile it with. [21:49] fscking debian [21:49] KlrSpz- http://pastebin.com/d4915c5f5 [21:49] Language please [21:49] KlrSpz: the path info... like /dev/sda1 etc [21:49] esj1234, ive got a "avm fritz!wlan usb stick" as wlan device. the notebooks boots with ubuntu 8.04 perfectly, drives is loaded too. when i try to connect to my own wlan ubuntu simply stops doing anything. i cxant start programms or open files or even reboot... [21:49] yes. 192.168.1.5 is my local ip and poomalai.homelinux.com is dyndns domain. I want to access my machine anywhere using internet. So i created dyndns account and pointed the domain to my 192.168.1.5 [21:49] Question? how come when i type users in terminal my login shows up twice? [21:49] jason_1: i compiled it when ubntu f** something with it [21:49] arthur: each gnome-terminal counts a seperate login [21:49] zethero1: well you can do "dmesg | grep sd" or replace with "hd" for ide channels; if it's mounted already type "mount" [21:50] http://dump.myskul.net/files/gnomepanel.png <-- is it possible to make the panel under the applets to be transparent? [21:50] thats normal? [21:50] arthur: yes [21:50] cannot connect to nicotine, anyonw help me? how do i retrive a username and password? [21:50] KlrSpz: whats sd for? [21:50] i dont have anymore intres to compile all from source.. reason why i selected ubuntu for my destop [21:50] poomalai, that sounds like a non-routable IP address. Are you sure your internet (WAN) IP address is that IP? [21:50] burnerwarrior008: hmm lockups like that are rare [21:50] why did you specify -p 33 when using the dns poomalai [21:50] zethero1: serial disk [21:50] i just rebooted thats normal? [21:50] sda, sdb, etc etc [21:50] Logitech G15, after i install the dependencies i'm told to install the packages? when i do the installs always fail [21:50] i didn't harness the true power of mplayer until i utilized a config in $home/ [21:50] or play with all kinds anti-virus software and shit that windows does === eric is now known as talntid [21:50] jason_1 same here, and live is good [21:50] *life [21:51] poomalai: you want to point your dyndns to your internet ip, then have your router route the ports you need to your local ip [21:51] esj1234, since now noone was able to help me :( internet via cable works fine, but wlan hangs up [21:51] evilbug: that's your ati card -- unfortunately i know nothing about ATI in linux [21:51] evilbug: but it looks ok [21:51] KlrSpz: isn't there an fdisk command? [21:51] I thought it might be a problem with port. So that i changd it and configured ssh configuration file too. When i used default port 22, i faced the same problem. [21:52] zethero1: yes, but you have to give it a device first; if you're asking what the path is, then it's useless [21:52] KlrSpz- i see. [21:52] slackpipe how does dyndns keep the host upto date with ur IP changes? [21:52] has anybody been able to fix the libjli.so error when trying to run java? [21:52] KlrSpz, live? [21:52] evilbug: see if there's options in VLC (i know there are in mplayer) to choose a rendering engine; some perform better than others [21:52] burnerwarrior008: try bringing up a term window before connecting wifi. in that window, run tail -f /var/log/syslog === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [21:52] james1213: my router has a dyndns section, i just put the info in there at it takes care of the rest [21:52] you are using a router, so forward the port in the router poomalai [21:52] jason_1 i meant makes life good [21:52] life is good [21:52] oh right [21:52] james1213: with some modems you'd have to setup a bridge to the router to do that [21:52] esj1234, ok, ill try. notebook is running right now (im working with pc ;) ) [21:52] burnerwarrior008: connect, watcdh the logs and see of anything jumps out at you [21:53] James, my router has in-built dyndns client and it sends my public ip whenever it changes, [21:53] slackpipe, what information? just the host your using as a dyndns and login info or? [21:53] life sucks, espeically in america, watch sicko [21:53] hi -- doe anyone know what happened to gnome-keyring-manager in hardy? [21:53] KlrSpz- would that be an issue since every media player gives me the same video results? [21:53] jason_1, my life is doing fine :) [21:53] launchpad says it is "superceded" but it doesn't say by what [21:53] chapai. I already done that [21:53] and I want to see my gnome keyring keys. [21:53] james1213: on my router i think you just pick dyndns and then put your un/pw in, it takes care of the rest [21:53] As i told you, I was able to access my machine through internet when i used gusty [21:53] evilbug: honestly, i don't know? i have a 486 at home that's running xubuntu and can playback videos just fine with an onboard videocard... [21:53] cool [21:54] Hey, I believe i'm havin an issue with Apache + PHP [21:54] evilbug: an old ass s3 [21:54] esj1234, ok, i typed it in and now it run. should i try to connect now? [21:54] P_: System > preferences > Encryption and Keyrings [21:54] p_: there is seahorse [21:54] Fishscene: yay. thanks. [21:54] yes [21:54] KlrSpz- i'm frustrated...for months i've been trying to fix this. [21:54] I'm trying to install apache + php running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and anytime I create a PHP page.. It asks me to download that page.. [21:54] evilbug: you have a swap space set up? [21:54] when you change the port restart the ssh server [21:54] (just thinking of ideas) [21:54] Poomalai, is your router routing the port to your computer's LAN IP address? [21:54] when you change the port restart the ssh server poomalai [21:54] KlrSpz- yes. [21:55] yes i did [21:55] I've installed APACHE + PHP the following methods: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [21:55] Mp3 stopped working on rhythmbox, I suspect due to some stuff Aptitude did when I installed an unrelated program a while ago. How do I restore mp3 playback ability? [21:55] Fishscene: oh. this isn't what I meant [21:55] I've even add the type in the apache2.conf file [21:55] afallenhope: you have to configure apache so that it understands php files [21:55] poomalai: go to the dyndns website and see what ip addy the domain is forwarding to [21:55] I'm looking for the secrets that network manager keeps. [21:55] it used to be accessible via gnome-keyring-manager [21:55] oh I have no idea =\ [21:55] but that appears to have vanished into thin air [21:55] p_: those are encrypted and can't be unencrypted [21:55] Hi there, I've just installed 8.04, and I'm new to Ubuntu, and I desperatly need to program in C, gcc works, but it complaints that the libraries aren't present, strdio.h etc. [21:56] kitche: I put AddType application/x-httpd-php php [21:56] afallenhope: you have to restart apache if you change the config file if you haven't done so already [21:56] int the conf file [21:56] poomalai:- i can reach your ssh server [21:56] kitche: I did that. [21:56] Fishscene, i beleive so because i was able to access web site in my computer using my public ip. (the site is hosted in windows os. I have dual os) [21:56] lordnps: sudo apt-get install build-essential [21:56] p_: ~/.gnome2/keyrings is the file.. delete it and you can set up a new keyring [21:56] really? [21:56] kitche: that will make it workable? [21:56] lordnps, desperately or urgently? [21:56] KlrSpz: I want to see what I have, not delete it :-) [21:56] afallenhope: in your apache2 dir you should have a dir called mods_enabled see if your php is in there, if not create a symlink of the one in mods_avail [21:56] Chapai are u able to reach my ssh? [21:56] lordnps: well it will install the basic developer files [21:56] i dont know why you cant, poomalai [21:56] thisusernamewasm: urgently [21:56] p_: right, i just described how that's not possible [21:57] KlrSpz- what if i make the refresh rate something like 80hz?

[22:01] burnerwarrior008: not sure iwconfig [22:01] !hate | KlrSpz [22:01] KlrSpz: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy [22:01] Firefox kicked me out, basically. [22:01] klrspz, why? [22:01] Wrekk: sure thing [22:01] lordnps, with that prog you can change it... and some other rather nice things :) [22:01] does anyone know what the name of the file manager is for AWN file browser applet?

[22:02] daemon3: how does it kick you out [22:02] then why i am not able to connect my machine? May i send you my ip? Can u please check that and tell me whether it is working or not, chapai?

[22:03] yes chapai [22:04] klrspz, book marks, i would use del.icou.us [22:04] firefox 3 works fine, this sounds like a PEBKAC issue. moving large groups of bookmarks is simple in the bookmark manager.

LTS distribution upgrade... now his computer is running drastically slower (he can't handle the newer version)... how can I DOWNGRADE back to 7.10 distribution? [22:05] lordnps, :) [22:05] kitche: mind if I bother you with some more questions then?

[22:05] thank you very much chapai. By the way this is my first experience with ubuntu irc channel. You guys are really active and helpful. I did not expect immediate help. Thanks once again. I will try tomorrow from my office. [22:05] iRelinquish: well i relaly like the new url bar; but dislike the download window and i can't tell firefox how to properly open a file anymore [22:06] kitche : I was hoping you wouldn't say that... how positive are you on the inability to downgrade after a distribution upgrade? [22:06] all, trying first time config of CVS using (downloaded 3 WinCVS, RapidSVN, Subversion). Have no idea what to do. Tried following SourgeForce HOWTO but it leaves me clueless [22:06] true, klrspz [22:06] dinosaur: umm it's not recommended since it will break [22:06] klrspz, you'll get used to it all though i'm sure [22:06] chapai, are you facing the same problem as mine? [22:07] hello.. I would like when i open an application( like browser or amsn) not to be maximized from the beginning.I would like to set my own default size.. how could i do that?? thx in advance. [22:07] break is not good... guess he's stuck with it as-is... no way am I taking the time to reinstall, upgrade, and add 100+ programs to this dinosaur again [22:07] My ADSL connection used to work in Ubuntu no problem, but now it's not working at all. My network adapter connects directly to the ADSL modem (no router). Even the live CD doesn't connect, so I don't think it's a problem with my configuration. I have openSuSE and Windows XP installed as well as Ubuntu, and they both connect no problem. Sometimes in Ubuntu it spontaneously connects, but normally it doesn't. I try dhclient, but it always ends without co [22:07] does anyone know what the name of the file manager is for AWN file browser applet? [22:08] thanks folks [22:08] hey [22:08] emergency question plz [22:08] isn't there a select all in the terminal?

[22:08] plz [22:08] poomalai:- from what i can tell, using public ip within the network does not work, so connect using the 192... but when outside the network it works hence i can reach your ssh server [22:08] hello [22:09] starz, se any in /dev? [22:09] anyone knwo how to use ssh [22:09] kitche: sorry my X crashed [22:09] Chapai: but you can test it from another machine using the internal IP [22:09] anyone know how to use ssh [22:09] hisingh1: that's pretty broad, can you be specific in your intent? [22:09] !repeat | hisingh1 [22:09] hisingh1: 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 [22:09] oh... You have been very helpful for me, chapai. Thanks a lot. I will try from my office tomorrow...

[22:10] took 13 months for this scrap on my elbow to completely fill in/heal. that hardcore? [22:10] code specificly (i am using no-ip) [22:10] lordnps: I don't really use anything fancy like compiz but just know enough to get it working with compiz-fusion [22:10] bye folks. [22:10] jason_1: quite offtopic. [22:10] kitche: Firstly it complaints that there-s no XGL accelaration , while my gentoo compiz said it had [22:11] kitche: should I re emerge the 915? [22:11] lordnps: do you have XGL installed? [22:11] hisingh1, I sent you a PM [22:11] so was mplayer and no one complained. [22:11] lordnps: now a days though you don't need XGL really [22:11] kitche: do I have to Install it? [22:11] kitche: the main problem isn-t that though [22:12] jason_1: mplayer is a piece of software available in ubuntu, your scrapes are not. therefore it is offtopic. if you want to discuss your healing rates, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [22:12] kitche: it complains abou a configuration file somewhere... its a fresh install [22:12] Hello, I need help for possibly finding a new graphics driver for an HP? [22:12] kitche: it shouldnt be messed up already [22:12] kitche: my gentoo worked all nicely after install , even though it took 3 days to compile [22:13] acutally, we were discussing mplayer playing video files. [22:13] <3 gentoo [22:13] lordnps: see if you have an option in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf that has AIGLX in there someplace if you do not have a nvida card with binary driver [22:13] kitche: I have an Intel 945 [22:13] and compling it from source, not from the repos, so, it was not ubuntu related. [22:13] lordnps: see if you have AIGLX enabled in xorg.conf then [22:13] kitche: ok gonna check, wait a sec [22:14] jason_1: still, talking about your injuries is not an appropriate topic for this channel, end of discussion [22:14] kitche: No... it doesnt have such an option [22:15] Hello, I need help for possibly finding a new graphics driver for an HP? Because this current driver is messing up BADLY :/ [22:15] kitche: its surprizingly small actually... [22:15] Daisuke_Ido, i ended my discussion about my injury. [22:15] can anyone help me with video in hardy on an ati card? [22:15] kitche: doesnt have anything regarding the graphics adapter, except that its a managed graphics adapter === yacc_ is now known as yacc [22:16] lordnps: you will need to reconfigure X then most likely I believe dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still works [22:16] kitche: ok... Ill try that... [22:17] hello [22:17] My ADSL connection used to work in Ubuntu no problem, but now it's not working at all. My network adapter connects directly to the ADSL modem (no router).

[23:25] lucife1, check mic volume and mute [23:25] Is that a terminal command? [23:25] lucife1: does the "test call" work? [23:25] Also, must I use Rockbox? Or can I use the default firmware it comes with? [23:25] condawg: read the message that ubottu sent you [23:25] lucife1 you're sure that's not related to the microphone capture settings? [23:25] going to do some googling and find out if that card is supported i guess [23:25] condawg: the !ipod command was just to make ubotu tell you about ipods etc [23:25] lucife1 under prefs sound I mean [23:25] TheAngryBunny: Radeon Xpress 200M? [23:25] !ipod [23:25] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:25] cannot see test call :S [23:25] anyone know SSH? [23:25] Ah. [23:25] hisingh1: what about it? [23:25] Thanks [23:25] condaw: You shouldn't have to use Rockbox unless you want to play FLAC or ogg with your iPod [23:25] no Geforce FX5200 [23:25] condawg: saves us a bit of typing =) [23:25] Okay [23:26] and volime is 100%.. I mean all is full.. [23:26] donno whats going on [23:26] So I don't have to use it? I can use the default firmware on Linux? [23:26] condawg: read the links ubottu gave you.. lots of info there.. ask again if anything is unclear [23:26] TheAngryBunny: look through the options in /etc/default/acpi-support [23:26] well, i need to connect to another commputer and i get connection refused [23:26] condawg: Yup, you can use the default firmware. Follow the link to find out more [23:26] Awesome =] Thanks [23:26] hisingh1: is that other computer running an ssh server? [23:26] TheAngryBunny: in particular, try toggling SAVE_VBE_STATE=true [23:27] I can start mplayer (or the mozplugger) and have sound. But then if I try to open any other app that has audio (like YouTube) I have no audio. And even after I close mplayer I still have no audio. [23:27] Any ideas? [23:27] i dont know, its windows vista. how do i check [23:27] Is there any way to force apt-get dist-upgrade not to prompt? I still seem to get prompts with `-y` [23:27] there was a recent update in ssh that i downloaded from the repo and now i am unable to login to a different user using ssh. How do i fix the changed RSA key? [23:27] hisingh1: vista doesn't use SSH [23:27] The link that !ipod gives me doesn't tell me how to get Amarok to recognize it [23:27] looks like I have to use ndiswrapper [23:27] Just tells me that amarok can [23:27] TheAngryBunny: SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE and DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH are useful sometimes, too [23:27] hisingh1: It probably doesn't have an SSH server, then [23:27] can anyone help me to use policykit with fluxbox... for some reason it ails the get process information... so the unlock bttons stay grey... and after tripple check... i am in the polkituser group., and i am not running with sudo .... or at least how to rip out that piece of awfullness(sorry) of the admn programs? [23:27] Pidgin has been misbehaving recently. Has anyone else reported problems? Or shall I go into detail, not that there is much. [23:27] it doessnt? [23:27] Soundray: SAVE_VBE_STATE is already set to true [23:28] hisingh1: you'll need something like VNC or RDP for what you're trying to do [23:28] hisingh1: You need an SSH server on the computer you're trying to access via SSH [23:28] So is there any othr options? [23:28] hisingh1: ssh is mainly a unix/linux-specific thing [23:28] how do do the microphone settings? everything is volume is full. I donno whats going on [23:28] can i use vnc [23:28] Actually I'll ask again tomorrow when I'm not going to bed [23:28] fugitivo: thank you so much [23:28] TheAngryBunny: I said toggle. That means if it's true, try setting it to false. Do try one thing at a time, though, and reboot after each change [23:28] does anybody know how to fix a changed ssh key? [23:28] fugitivo: i love you <3 [23:28] fugitivo: it works [23:28] <_paradox_> how would i make a symbolic link of the java plugin to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ? [23:28] linkmaster03, great! :) [23:28] hisingh1: yes, but you'll need to first get a VNC server working on the vista machine [23:29] ok... I'll try toggling that... [23:29] pidus: remove the bad line from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts [23:29] anybidy usinf vbox 6 non-ose and host networking? [23:29] <_paradox_> im new to linux so commands are still beyond me lol [23:29] hisingh1: you can install ssh server on windows http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ [23:29] how do i install grub on a usb stick ? [23:29] paradon: ln -s creates symbolic links [23:29] paradon: man ln for more info [23:29] eid :( [23:29] how to do that [23:30] and how do i identify the bad line? [23:30] ( http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/grub_intro/ is not helpful at all ) [23:30] when i edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file under section "screen" and insert the line "Resolution 1024x784" my display startup crashes. Have I inserted the correct line in the correct section? [23:30] really! [23:30] hisingh1: you might want to ask in ##windows for how to install VNC on Vista [23:30] hello, how do i create a symbolic linked folder (/home/www/) that points to /var/www/ ?

I've been saying paradon all the time.. sheseh sorry [23:33] So, is it a feature or a bug that Hardy doesn't let you add new users with an already existing home folder? [23:33] hello, what would be the best filesystem to share data between linux, osx and windows? ext2 or ntfs (fat is out due to 4gb limit) or something else? [23:33] hey should get putty [23:33] _paradox_: not really.. but it makes things a bit easier [23:33] markotite1, good! [23:33] DonaldShimoda yes [23:33] McRib: probably a bug [23:34] hisingh1: putty is a great ssh client [23:34] uzor, network shares? [23:34] how should i get it [23:34] anyone installed grub on a usb stick ? [23:34] hisingh1: google putty ssh [23:34] fugitivo, for a bootcamp/multiboot environment.. [23:34] hisingh1: putty should be the first result on google [23:34] uzor: umm fat since fat goes way above 4gb unless you mean 4 gb files [23:34] kitche, of course i mean 4gb files [23:35] Starnestommy: Hmm... as it stands right now, I need to run useradd first and then edit it with Gnome afterwards... that works. [23:35] like dvd iso images .. [23:35] <_paradox_> its a good site but i dont really have a lotta time for reading right now. can ya just give me a quick run thru? [23:35] ghindo: what gives the backend to policykit? i mean is there a service i need to start? [23:35] McRib: I don't know, but I would always recommend renaming the home directory, then creating the user, then copying the user data over selectively [23:35] hisingh1: Also, do a search for portable apps. There is a site that offers a bunch of popular software slightly modified for a usb stick. Putty is one the apps they offer [23:35] uzor, you wont have problems from linux, but from windows... [23:35] nikin: I'm afraid I don't know. Sorry :( [23:35] uzor: then ntfs but then again ntfs is not the best there is for file sharing you could use ext2 and get the ext2 driver for windows [23:35] _paradox_: I think it's like this.. ln -s nameoflink targetoflink [23:35] pm [23:36] _paradox_: I might have target and link mixed up.. but that's the general idea [23:36] I need help please, i have recorder a video using recordmydesktop software, it saves file as .ogg , does anyone know any software that can transform or cenvert this video to mpg4 format ? [23:36] Taras: mencoder [23:36] thank you [23:36] ghindo: thanx anyway.. i ame hitting my head to the wall for two days now with this problem... :( bleh... i am realy not happy that we got polkit in an LTS release for the first time... :( [23:36] Taras: mencoder does almost anything.. the trick is knowing how to make it work with you =) [23:37] hope its not complicated [23:37] <_paradox_> wait ln -s the file name and then the target directory? [23:37] Taras: it is [23:37] paradon: I think so, yes [23:38] Taras: and remember.. linux is case sensitive.. [23:38] Taras: you may find it easier to install kino, import the Theora file and export to mpeg4 [23:38] bah.. paradon, and Taras.. I need coffee [23:38] Taras: Do a google search for: mencoder ogg to mp4 [23:38] <_paradox_> i hope i dont screw this up [23:38] Taras: Chances are someone has written a tutorial :) [23:38] hello [23:38] _paradox_: I think so, yes [23:38] oh okay , well thanks for help guys, i will be trying now, if i succed i will post video on youtube hehe [23:38] _para: and remember.. linux is case sensitive.. [23:38] _paradox_: and remember.. linux is case sensitive.. [23:39] Taras: you can just rename an ogg to .avi and upload to google video :) [23:39] thanks for the help! All [23:39] emma_, are you cloning me? [23:39] popey: really? [23:39] yup [23:40] ghindo: for a "til it gets done" solution.. dont you know how can i bypass polkit? i cant use network-admin .. and thats pain [23:40] no [23:40] popey: that's a convenient conversion method, then ;) [23:40] how can I add Other to the main menu in system>preferences>main maenu [23:40] when I mark OTHER then it unmarks automatically [23:40] Can anyone help me restore mp3 playback functionality to rhythmbox? [23:41] markl_: you need a prog installed that uses the other menu item [23:41] what do you mean by cloning you [23:41] emma_ this is not the right channel to have a conversation not related to Ubuntu. [23:42] PLEASE, someone! I've been here asking periodically since 2PM, can *anyone* help me fix mp3 playback in rhythmbox? [23:42] hm ok favro [23:42] thisusernamewasm: lets try.. what happened what is the problem/ when did it occusr? [23:43] thisusernamewasm, are you able to play mp3 with any other media players? [23:43] nikin, hythmbox used to play mp3's, now it does not. I suspect that this is a result of some stuff Aptitude did without my telling it to, but with my accidental consent, a while ago. [23:43] I haven't tried any others- I put ap ost in the forums with all the details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795534 [23:43] hi all! would appreciate som help here, how do i split a rar archive into several parts with max file size 11mb? [23:44] thisusernamewasm, you might try going to synaptic package manager, searching for Rhythmbox and then marking for reinstallation then. [23:44] mhm [23:44] hi [23:44] thisusernamewasm: do other programs play mp3? [23:44] i have very very strange issue [23:44] nikin, i asked the same question :) [23:44] root@jacek-laptop:/home/jacek# rm record* [23:44] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [23:44] emma, I still have rhythmbox, I'm using it to play some ogg's right now. [23:44] nikin, I'll try. [23:44] Which program should I use? [23:44] is this a coincidence or is it something siniister i.e same user name? [23:44] it looks like rm is segfaulting [23:44] jnb: man split [23:44] I thought Gisosomeone using Gisomount ?? [23:45] thisusernamewasm: consider trying VLC .... [23:45] cant find it in menus [23:45] Uh I mean someone using Gisomount ? :) [23:45] thisusernamewasm, yes but you said that you thought that aptitude did something to rhythmbox such that it was able to play MP3 and now it cannot. You might therefor try reinstalling it, which is easy to do with the Synaptic Package Manager located in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > Search for Rhythmbox and then check the box to mark for reinstallation. [23:45] installing vlc, will report shortly. [23:45] I cant find it anywhere [23:45] thisusernamewasm: I would try to completely remove ubuntu-restricted-extras, and installing it again [23:45] I can start it from console [23:46] emma_ /join #defocus [23:46] soundray: would you mind writing the complete command? [23:46] i want to play a DVD but i think that this DVD has copyright [23:46] emma, I was more suspecting that it uninststalled some libraries or codecs or something. [23:46] jnb: yes, I would [23:46] emma: i tend to belive that this is a codec problem... maybe gstreamer [23:46] hey [23:46] sudo aptitude uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras? [23:46] And then reinstall? [23:46] cheatr [23:46] ?? [23:46] Hello there. I'm having trouble with the Lives Video Editor on Ubuntustudio 8.04. When I open a video clip it does not open de audio, not can I supply audio to any video. The terminal seys Xmms is not installed, but I have read xmms is an optional package and is not need to run lives. What can be the problem? [23:46] @hyjal [23:46] i think that this DVD is protected with somethind call css [23:46] ferfactor: All dvd have copyright, I assume you mean css/drm? [23:46] thisusernamewasm: I think so. I use synaptic for it all :P [23:46] thisusernamewasm: lets see that VLC [23:46] thisusernamewasm, then try this, open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:47] thisusernamewasm: there's an option there for "complete removal" [23:47] yea Lynet that [23:47] nikin, still installing vlc [23:47] thisusernamewasm: ok.. i wait... [23:47] soundray: thanks, i think i got it! blessings an joy [23:47] jnb: would you like a hint on combining the parts? [23:48] ferfactor: Have you installed libdvdread? [23:48] lynet yeah this morning [23:48] emma, will try after done isntalling vlc. [23:48] UGH! [23:48] thisusernamewasm: what UGH? [23:49] I tried to install google earth last time I used synaptic, but changed my mind, and so didn't accept the license. [23:49] Hi [23:49] what a jolly name [23:49] Now it's trying to get me to agree to the license, and not only can I not disagree with the license, I can't even accept. [23:49] there's no way to press "ok"? [23:49] lol [23:49] soundray: well, i'm not the one who'll be extracting the archive, my friends on windows machines will be doing that. will there be any problems for them to extract? [23:49] Lynet: the console said me that the package wasn't appear [23:49] ferfactor: Tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs?highlight=(dvd) [23:50] ok, I think I killed google earth install... [23:50] thisusernamewasm: no idea.. never used that piece of software.... [23:50] jnb: yes, they will have to know how [23:50] so, i installed ubuntu on my other harddrive, and still have xp on one harddrive. how do i boot to xp? [23:50] it was just the license being presented and requiring acceptance within the terminal. [23:50] now it's back up again. [23:50] how do i boot the livecd to RAM? [23:50] thisusernamewasm, u trying to install google earth ?? [23:50] do you tried freebsd [23:50] mad_max, [23:50] no [23:50] then what ? [23:50] wubrgamer, it automatically boots into the RAM :) [23:50] I didnt read up [23:50] Lynet: sorry i tried to explain better my problem but i have many problems with my english... thanks i will check th url [23:50] really? [23:50] I thought about it last time I used synaptic, and now it's acting like I still want to, even though I don't. [23:51] jnb: you will probably have generated several files like xaa, xab, xac and so one. They will have to combine them on the Windows command line with something like [23:51] thisusernamewasm: what about VLC? [23:51] vlc isntalled, attempting mp3 now [23:51] jnb: copy /b xaa xab xac file.rar [23:51] wubrgamer, yep, that's how come there's no changes to your hard drive :) [23:51] nikin, it works. [23:51] How do i get 7zip to work [23:51] does it have a GUI [23:51] how do i boot to xp which is located on my other harddrive, from ubuntu, this harddrive [23:51] thisusernamewasm, you want to play mp3 ?? google earth installs nice with medibuntu repository enabled and just typing sudo apt-get install googleearth [23:51] thisusernamewasm: ok [23:52] Joeb454: no [23:52] hi, anybody know how I can get skype on ubuntu [23:52] it runs off the CD [23:52] thisusernamewasm, try banshee or rhythmbox for mp3 files [23:52] i meant copying it into the ram... [23:52] the cd [23:52] jnb: I think there is a method for splitting rar files with the rar program itself, but I don't know how. If you can work it out, you will make the recipient's life easier [23:52] knoppix and most livecd's do it [23:52] jnb: man rar will probably help [23:52] mad_max, you are late into this. I am merely trying to fix rhythmbox, which stopped playing mp3's. [23:52] VLC is being used as a test, to see if I have the codecs (I presume) [23:53] I think it loads a lot into the RAM, but also runs from the CD (I know it loads some). Other than that I can't be much help sorry wubrgamer [23:53] thisusernamewasm: I would keep trying to reinstall the ubuntu-restricted-extras package for getting rhythmbox (gstreamer) to work. I can't help you with your synaptic problem though [23:53] thisusernamewasm: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [23:53] hm, emma_ and then emman. [23:53] apt-get install googleearth dont work [23:53] is there a toram cheatcode? [23:53] thisusernamewasm: VLC uses different codecs [23:53] !RAR [23:53] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:53] VLC has inbuilt codecs.. so it wont work with rythmbox [23:53] soundray: oh, i see. yes, i'm not sure they'll manage to do it right with man split. ill try man rar, thanks === Thanatos is now known as Thanatos____ [23:53] thisusernamewasm: install the package i pointed out [23:54] how do I uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras? [23:54] sudo aptitude uninstall?

[23:55] jour [23:55] jnb: it's not documented in the man page. You will need to look in /usr/share/doc/rar/rar.txt.gz [23:55] thisusernamewasm: easier to get to the thing you need when you dont know the complete name.. [23:55] nikin, I was going to uninstall that and try to reinstall it. [23:55] thisusernamewasm: why do you want to remove restricted extras? [23:55] nikin: already did, no go [23:56] douye, I don't really think so. I find synaptic confusing. I really prefer the terminal. [23:56] Wanderer: did you check that it is realy deleted? [23:56] soundray, thank you, i' give it a look [23:56] hi [23:56] is google down? wget http://dl.google.com/earth/GE4/GoogleEarthLinux.bin is returning 404 [23:56] nikin: I told him to try reinstalling it, as his gstreamer mp3 playback isn't working.

[23:56] yes [23:56] Trying rhythmbox now [23:57] nikin: I removed the file completely [23:57] clintchance: it's better to apt-get googleearth from the medibuntu repository [23:57] markotitel, can please go to priv [23:57] I'm using hostkey auth, not pass [23:57] medibuntu? [23:57] thisusernamewasm: dont uninstall it.. just install the two packages i wrote you [23:57] do i need to enable taht [23:57] that [23:57] !medibuntu | clintchance [23:57] clintchance: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:57] installed the first one.

[23:58] not always, at least. [23:58] i already have the bridge up! [23:58] douye: the restricted package is just a meta package for lots of useful codecs, including mp3 [23:58] Hello there. I'm having trouble with the Lives Video Editor on Ubuntustudio 8.04. When I open a video clip it does not open de audio, not can I supply audio to any video. The terminal seys Xmms is not installed, but I have read xmms is an optional package and is not need to run lives. What can be the problem? [23:58] :) [23:58] yes donald [23:58] what program can i use in place of Amarok that is just as good or better? [23:59] When I play certain videos with VLC, Ubuntu either locks completly or part of it will fail and it will be a domino effect. Sound will stop working, then gnome will stop working. How do I figure out whats going on here? [23:59] ok markotitel thanks a lot, i will try rigth now and tell you later [23:59] nikin: yeah, but it's not asking me to update them, it just gives the error saying verification failed and poof [23:59] i remember clicking on the torrent listed on the website to get it started. But i was wondering how i could do it from Ubuntu without going back to the original site [23:59] BobPenguin: are you on hardy? [23:59] markotitel, thanks a lot for your help [23:59] nikin, [23:59] Wanderer: do you have local acces to the server? [23:59] im not even sure what client i have....whats the standard that comes with Ubuntu? [23:59] installed, opening rhythmbox [23:59] hyjal: i dont have it installed tho and can play mp3 files, think when i loaded mp3 files into the rythmbox it asked me if i wanted to install the needed codecs which it did auto..
