[00:00] the Host Settings [00:00] troxor: on a completely different subject, all the buttons just turned into squares. [00:00] summatusmentis: as far as i know that feature does not exist for ubuntu yet though.. maybe next release [00:00] tbbottle: how do i do that? [00:00] troxor: like the shutdown dialogue and error messages X_X [00:00] DJ: Which host settings? [00:00] derspankster: yes [00:00] DJ_HaMsTa: try "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" [00:01] hola [00:01] summatusmentis: if i had to guess they'll get something like this _atleast_ by next LTS [00:01] STSX: no thats the network stats [00:01] mateo: can you install the chntpw pacakge? [00:01] troxor: [00:01] sedra, hold on, I'm trying something else, thanks again for your time [00:01] tbbottle: im following a tut for mounting samba https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#head-29519703c273ba9ef8a243ddc90b1f3baa938756 [00:01] tbbottle: i dont know what that is [00:01] and it shows me how to config the network but im not using the desktop version if ubuntu, im using server [00:02] Which part of the network config are you trying to do? [00:02] helpy: did you run the install isorecorder.msi with administrator privileges (right-click, "run as administrator") ? [00:02] Host Settings / Windows Networking [00:02] yes let me try again [00:02] I see [00:02] But seriously guys when I boot up I just get a black screen. I believe it's related to fglrx and compiz starting up on boot. I've tried aticonfig --initial but that doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions? [00:02] i'll tell you the error too [00:02] brian_: debian has had it since woody :) [00:02] Host name and domain name [00:02] yapo [00:02] helpy: ok, take it from the top [00:02] What am i doing wrong with this .run file? r00t@UnicornShrimper:~/Desktop$ ./ unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.goty.run [00:02] bash: ./: is a directory [00:03] DJ: just a sec [00:03] summatusmentis: i'm a relatively new linux convert. never played much with debian.. have been solid no windows for 14 months now though! XD [00:03] AlmightyHen: try reconfigureing your xorg.conf? [00:03] WaxyFresh: you didn't actually give the path to the file. You want ./filename ... [00:03] congrats :) I use OS X normally, but I like linux a lot [00:03] mateo: you will need to install the chntpw password [00:03] actuall it has been installed [00:03] it just won't write the image [00:03] I'm hoping 8.04 is polisehd enough [00:03] WaxyFresh: How does one do this? I tried atiiconfig [00:04] how? [00:04] WaxyFresh: There shouldn't be a space between the ./ and unreal.tournament... [00:04] helpy: okay, looking into an alternative, give me a minute [00:04] summatusmentis: you can polish it yourself [00:04] how do I alter size of log-on screen [00:04] ok [00:04] mateo: package, sorry. This can be done on the command line using 'sudo apt-get install chntpw' or using the Synaptic package manager in the System->Adminitration->Synaptic Pacakage Manager === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [00:05] ... so what shall I do? [00:05] i have nero but it sucks. i have no idea how to use it [00:05] hello [00:05] summatusmentis: hrmm.. i wouldn't get my hopes too high.. i just finished reinstalling after an update killed my xorg and then the installer reversed my drives during install (sda and sdb became sdc and sdd while sdc and d became sda and b) which caused all kinds of issues.. its been fun getting it back up and running. [00:05] For some reason my mouse isn't responding when a key is pressed. This is something new any ideas? [00:05] DJ: The hostname is configured in the /etc/hostname file. You will need to log out and back in to set it. The domain information is needed by samba and should be in the smb.conf file [00:05] sedra: that takes time [00:06] WaxyFresh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/UnrealTournament [00:06] could some one help me with installing thunderbird ?

[00:06] DJ: When I say log in and back out, you will have to drop your runlevel or reboot, sorry. [00:06] how can i open a port in ubuntu [00:06] runlevel ?

[00:07] helpy: getting there, jus a moment [00:07] Jadewolf: cp? [00:07] brian_: awesome :) [00:08] Jadewolf: mount one, then the other, and cp the data. [00:08] ffm: too logical [00:08] Stick to rebooting if you don't know what a run level is. Change the contents of the file /etc/hostname to the host name and reboot. When you log back in, the shell should be 'youruname@newhostnae #' [00:08] brian_: hm? [00:08] ffm: I can seem to mount /dev/hdb anything, even fdisk /dev/hda-d does not see a partition and when I mount /dev/sda1 its the Stanard HD that Iw as taking out [00:08] Jadewolf: hd* is depricatd in hardy. [00:08] i cant find where kino saved the video files it captured [00:09] tbbottle: Also don't forget the /etc/hosts file, right?

[00:52] like knopix or dsl [00:53] woops, someone said ctrl+alt+f1 and so i hit it [00:53] !ppc | Guest7484 [00:53] Guest7484: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers.

[00:56] i know this is a little off topic, but anyone know if id be able to setup a dlink router to act as a bridge from another wifi connection ? [00:57] so, which firewall for ubuntu is the best to use? I had Firestarter b4, but didn't load [failed] when booting up, ever... [00:57] jedimind no [00:57] well poo [00:57] Marty81 Are you trying to open up some specific ports? [00:57] Marty81: there is only one firewall and it's iptables [00:57] jedimind you can bridge sharing with firestarter.. [00:57] !firewall [00:57] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:58] jedimind get one of those hackable linksys routers and install linux! then you can do anything you want! :) [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: compiz and my video performance was fine before.. been running compiz for over a year now i think.. you pretty sure it's compiz? [00:58] naw.. not really, just curious, since, like I said, Firestarter doesnt start upon booting [00:58] bcl1713: good call [00:58] red22 Turn it off.. 3d games should come back to life see also /join #compiz [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: even my compiz effects seem a little choppy at times. [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: with firestarter i can technically connect wifi to a signal then lan to my router to bridge it ? [00:58] red22 which ati card [00:59] x1950 pro [00:59] jedimind: yes [00:59] jedimind I have not dome it but that is supposed to work yes [00:59] red22 which driver and how did you install it [00:59] interesting [01:00] Jack_Sparrow: how bout running multiple wlan drivers for different users? :) since you seem to be the current guru [01:00] how convenient is it to buy a dell with ubuntu pre installed? i mean, can it use compiz? is it better to buy one with windows and the install ubuntu? [01:00] Marty81 Firestarter is not a firewall , just an iptable manager and only runs when you want to reconfigure your ports.. It can be made to run on startup, but that is not the default [01:00] jedimind no idea [01:00] bbyever: it would make more sense to buy one thats specifically tested for ubuntu [01:00] Jack_Sparrow: i didn't have to manually install anything, whatever was set by a clean 8.04 install w restricted drivers. [01:00] bbyever a dell with ubuntu preinstalled would be supported to run it all, it would work best [01:01] and you'd be able to run compiz etc on it no problem [01:01] bbyever the dell preinstalled are supposed to be nice [01:01] so, when I want to use a firewall, which should I use / d/l? [01:01] jedimind: correction,firestarter can share an internet connection between two boxes [01:01] i can't get mp3 or music cds to play anymore can someone help [01:01] red22 See the people in compiz.. they know their stuff [01:01] jedimind: Kaito: Jack_Sparrow: thanks [01:01] hi!

[01:02] Marty81: well you can use firestarter to configure iptables and save the rules that you made and iptables will run on each boot with the rules you specify [01:02] wat do you need Huevolin [01:02] !ask | Huevolin1990 [01:02] Huevolin1990: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[01:31] eraldo: np [01:31] troxor: so basically im a bit noobular, and i followed a how-to on getting ndiswrapper going for my wlan as i was having some issues w/ the bcm43xx driver (it was only connecting at 1mbit), but now i need to use the driver because of a networking tool im using doesnt support ndiswrapper. but i dont want to run bcm43xx full time, so i want to setup an alternate user which runs it, and leave ndiswrapper on my main account; [01:32] so the question is - how do i unload ndiswrapper from working globally and how do i setup the alternate user to use bcm43xx [01:32] and all of this while not having a LAN to plug into or an alternate computer to use in the event of massive explosion : ) [01:32] troxor: do you know where I can get a nice and clean .Xdefaults file ? [01:32] DIL: is your user in the vbosusers group? If not, sudo gpasswd -a $USER vboxusers, then log out, then back in [01:32] Starnestommy: do i need to restart my machine or virtual box [01:33] gparted is showing my /dev/mapper/sil_aeabbjafcbae as "unallocated" but it has (read: HAD) a single ext3 partition with a LOT of data on it [01:33] Starnestormmy: Thanks :-P [01:33] DIL: no, you just need to log out [01:33] does anyone know where to get a nice and clean .Xdefaults file ? [01:33] eraldo: dotfiles.org, maybe? I jsut scrounge google and copy bits and pieces [01:33] Starnestommy: no to .... [01:33] jedimind: simple answer, modprobe -rv ndiswrapper; modprobe -v bcm43xx; ;) [01:33] any ideas on if this is recoverable? [01:33] DIL: a restart isn't needed [01:34] what will that do? unload ndiswrapper and load bcm43xx on the current user? [01:34] troxor: I did the same but enden up having different ones on different machines which is not all that good ^^ [01:34] Starnestommy: ty [01:34] how do i reload it up when i need ndiswrapper again ? [01:34] DIL: but you do need to log out [01:34] is there a way to use a sym link, to link to a nfs share? [01:34] jedimind: modules are all kernelspace, changes to them are system-wide [01:34] is it just me... or did pidgin's window in the window list flash in gutsy, but not hardy?? [01:34] Jedimind: are you trying to get a broadcom Wireless card working? === thatguy is now known as ZamboniSmasher === ZamboniSmasher is now known as thaguy [01:34] Noxide: no i already have it working w/ ndiswrapper [01:34] oh ok. [01:35] i just want to use bcm43xx for a networking tool [01:35] I am having some difficulty adding new programmes (specifically, AbiWord). I constantly receive a message stating that 'the list of applications is not available'. Any assistance would be appreciated. [01:35] oh, good luck with tat [01:35] troxor: will that work only for the current session? or is it a perm change? [01:35] er that [01:35] jedimind: do the opposite, -rv bcm43xx, and -v ndiswrapper... this approach will probably be irritating and tiresome after a while, and it would probably be better long-term to get bcm43xx working fully.. btw, isn't hardy using b43 or somesuch? [01:35] does anyone have some exp. with sunbox / vbox ? [01:35] jedimind: modprobe changes are systemwide [01:35] yeah but b43 only supports rev3+ of my chipset and i have rev2 :\ [01:36] does anyone have some exp. with sunbox / vbox ? [01:36] I have centos 5.1 on my machine and both "users" and "who" commands don't work... [01:36] ...any reason why? [01:36] Mutant-Lap: just ask your quiestions about them [01:36] *questions [01:36] /var/log/wmtp is empty... [01:36] Synce hates me D: [01:36] anyway to fix this [01:36] or what could have caused it [01:36] jedimind: bummer [01:37] Actually,to clarify, Nautilus hates Synce. [01:37] troxor: also i've blacklisted bcm43xx as part of the how-to that i was following, will this still work ? === STSX is now known as Jasper [01:37] Is it possible to emulate a memory device on one of the usb ports on the computer? That is, when you connect a usb cable from that usb port, to another usb port (on another computer ofc), it will show up as a usb memory device. [01:37] jedimind: it should, the blacklist is only for udev module loading, iirc [01:37] how do i make a path to my shared folder between my pshysical machine and my virtual machine in Sun xVM VirtualBox ? [01:38] Linux can't recognise the commands === Jasper is now known as TWQ [01:38] any data recovery experts here or can point me to a good room to find someone? [01:38] If I remove gvfs-fuse from a GNOME desktop, what will stop working? === TWQ is now known as TZM [01:38] troxor: do i have to log out/back in for the modprobe change to take effect? [01:38] Starnestommy: i get a version mismatch - i installed from novell package - can i install using apt-get [01:38] jedimind: nope [01:38] twb: I think some FUSE filesystems [01:38] DIL: sudo apt-get ionstall virtualbox-ose [01:38] okay here goes nothing then [01:39] Hey guys, using Ubuntu, trying to find good program or website to view Online TV from europe [01:39] any ideas? [01:39] Since upgrading to 8.04, my number keypad doesn't work, although certain keys do some other actions, [01:40] n-Ice: install gstreamer0.10-plugins- .. via synaptic [01:40] like moving the mouse around, how do i fix this? [01:40] troxor: okay so i did what you said, and it is still using ndiswrapper [01:40] IGORV: only thing i know of is miro [01:40] Jangari mousekeys is turned on [01:40] when i unloaded it, it disconnected my wifi and then i ran -v bcm43xx [01:40] okay, where's mousekeys? [01:40] but its still using ndiswrapper [01:40] Jangari: you can turn it of in your settings.. i'll find it give me a sec [01:41] Jangari: System->Preferences->Assistive Technologies [01:41] oh, got it, bcl1713 [01:41] it's also in prefs > keyboard > mouse keys [01:41] Jangari there ya go! :) [01:41] thanks for that, I didn't realise mouse keys was an option [01:41] sweet i managed to crash xchat [01:41] bcl1713: the #linux channel?? [01:42] jedimind: that takes effort [01:42] Jangari: there must be a keyboard shortcut for it somewhere because mine turns on accidentally sometimes [01:42] surprising, not that much effort :) [01:42] jedimind: you can check the loaded modules with `sudo lsmod` [01:42] right [01:42] grndslm will give it a shot [01:42] surprisingly too [01:42] strange jedimind [01:42] it's not that hard.. /exec kill -11 $PPID [01:42] lol [01:42] bcl1713: any time i've had HDD problems, i just get a new drive... boot from a live cd & copy the data to the new drive [01:42] always works for me [01:43] whats a good dvd player for ubuntu? [01:43] okay, another question, anything in a terminal that requirs root access returns: sudo: unable to resolve host (computer name) [01:43] dannyboy: totem-xine or vlc [01:43] jedimind: check that both are unloaded with `sudo lsmod | egrep '(bcm43xx|ndis)'` [01:43] grndslm somehow my partition table for my drive has been erased and there is a lot of information on there i'd rather not lose [01:43] Jangari: you need to fix /etc/hosts in recovery mode [01:44] define 'fix' [01:44] they dont seem to be [01:44] bcl1713: i've had quite a few problems with fstab since ubuntu starting using UUIDs... chances are if you can use a livecd to mount the HDD, you can edit the fstab to just say /dev/sda1 instead of UUID=13723509 or whatever unreadable junk it uses [01:44] Check out my Desktop!!! http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7255/60654852cp0.jpg [01:44] oh ok thanks [01:45] vistarulesubuntu: that better not be goatse or something [01:45] jedimind: hm, they're both loaded... modprobe -rv both [01:45] Jangari: replace "127.0.1.1 BLAH" with "127.0.1.1 OUTPUT-OF-hostname-COMAMND" [01:45] jedimind: then make sure neither is loaded [01:45] grndslm gparted says the device block is unallocated [01:45] bcl1713: i'd just buy a new HD & get to copyin'... [01:45] grndslm i can't get to the data to copy it [01:45] but the #linux channel could def. help you out if anything [01:46] grndslm: the partition is gone [01:46] fuck all [01:46] no, fuck you [01:46] Ditto. [01:46] i like how i can kill my wlan drivers and still be connected to irc [01:46] easy killers [01:46] grndslm: that might break, ubuntu (like many other linuxes) relies on the UUID .. to find them, simply run "sudo blkid" [01:46] !language [01:46] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:46] i dont think that worked either, i modprobed -rv both of them, couple of times for ndiswrapper but it still running [01:46] glitsj16: i've done it a few times before, and it boots.. but this might be something different [01:46] okay Starnestommy, that makes sense. At the moment the 'BLAH' is [computername].[networkdomain], should it just be [computername]? [01:46] does anyone know how I change my colours so that when a button in the taskbar flashes, it's notiable? [01:47] at the moment, it's very very near the default colour [01:47] jedimind: since you're still connected, something's gotta still be keeping the modules loaded ;) [01:47] Jangari: Bottom line is that the hostname in /etc/hostname needs to exactly match the hostname for 127.0.1.1 in the /etc/hosts file. [01:47] bcl1713: you've tried booting from a livecd? [01:47] troxor: no it kills the wlan, but i connect fast enough that irc doesnt time out [01:47] but it renegotiates wlan connection and all [01:47] Jangari: it should just be cimputername. [01:47] gotcha, thanks TZM, Starnestommy. But why does it have to be in recovery mode? [01:47] Jangari: er, computername. The domain should be filled in automatically when it is needed [01:47] grndslm no... will give it a shot [01:47] Hi, i have ubuntu 7.10 and the system after update doesnt shut down, it leaves me hanging in a black window [01:47] yeah its weird, no matter how many times i -rv ndiswrapper it still shows in lsmod [01:47] grndslm: just reminding any readers that UUID is the supported option ;) [01:48] Jangari: because you need root permissions to edit /etc/hosts [01:48] oh, of course, i won't be able to edit the hosts without sudo access === stroyan` is now known as stroyan [01:48] hi [01:48] can I do it from a tty1 console? [01:48] Is there some special way that I am supposed to install the JDK on Linux? [01:48] Jangari: go into recovery mode. That has root access upon logging in without using sudo [01:48] http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7255/60654852cp0.jpg <--- Vista rules ...

[01:51] jedimind: odd.. [01:51] does anybody knows how to check why ubuntu doesnt shut down?

[01:51] or virtualbox [01:51] why would you want to use dreamweaver? :) [01:51] thanks to all [01:51] Manacim, i don't want to use wine [01:51] who can tell me a good download tools in ubuntu ..

[01:51] vmware either [01:51] use vmware or virtualbox [01:51] virtualbox? :) [01:51] Manacim, is there any webdesign clinet for linux?

[01:56] Pulseaudio: clamav and firestarter? [01:56] Pulseaudio: f-prot [01:56] Pulseaudio You understand you dont need that for ubuntu [01:56] thank you ....... [01:56] Pulseaudio: ufw is already installed on hardy [01:56] Starnestommy: clamav takes more than a day to scan :( [01:56] ok i will try to look at this site . tnx [01:56] does clamAV automatically update itself? [01:56] Starnestommy: i tried your suggestions and received 3 errors - i will remove and try reinstalling again thanks for your guidance [01:56] Jack_Sparrow: I want it because I am on a network with windows pcs and I would not like my windows pcs to get infected [01:56] m0u5e: what is ufw? [01:56] sweet, worked fine. Thanks TZM, Starnestommy [01:56] I never see it update itself, but the # of virus definitions seems to constantly increase... [01:57] Pulseaudio: uncomlicated firewall (its installed by default on hardy) [01:57] does somebody knows where the boot/shutdown logs is ? [01:57] hi [01:57] is there a way to use a symbolic link, to link to a nfs share? [01:57] Jangari: Glad you got it fixed without much problem. :) [01:57] pablo: maybe under /var/logs somewhere? :D [01:57] pablo: /var/log [01:57] troxor: any more ideas? [01:57] so am i, [01:57] m0u5e: you win :) [01:57] Pulseaudio They should have their own scanners.. I would not trust clamav as my only virus protection [01:57] troxer: xD [01:57] not gettin much response anywhere :-/ [01:57] m0u5e: I see. And what of the antivirus? as I've said, clamav takes too long to scan. [01:57] I am having some difficulty adding new programmes (specifically, AbiWord). I constantly receive a message stating that 'the list of applications is not available'. Any assistance would be appreciated. [01:57] who knows about how to set up a drop-box on a server? [01:57] jedimind: hmm.. try editing /etc/network/interfaces, and adding a line with your interface's name [01:58] i'm running feisty with an NVIDIA graphics card...how do i enable 3-d? [01:58] Pulseaudio: I would have recommended AVG, but currently there is no AVG AV solution for linux (the last one is out of date and discontinued) [01:58] Jack_Sparrow: indeed, but it would not help if my drive here(ntfs drives) were to get infected somehow. [01:58] m0u5e: I see. [01:58] there may be a few others, but those two are the best... [01:58] name as in wlan0 or... ? [01:58] AVG and clamav? [01:58] * Grammaticus twiddles his thumbs. [01:58] m0u5e i don't think avg is even offering a free windows version anymore.. [01:58] jedimind: er, perhaps that won't work; try just stopping networkmanager (/etc/dbus/event.d/25NetworkManager stop or somesuch), then modprobe -rv ndiswrapper [01:59] wheezepuppet: go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [01:59] bcl1713: it is... i'm using it :X [01:59] Pulseaudio They would not get infected by something you ran inside ubuntu... [01:59] wheezepuppet: Restricted Devices Manager [01:59] jedimind: then of course, modprobe -v bcm43xx and ....25NetworkManager start [01:59] bcl1713: its avg 8.0, free edition [01:59] bcl1713: http://free.grisoft.com/ === selocol is now known as lainy [01:59] i stopped using avg because of the 30 trial for the email scanner [01:59] jedimind: something's keeping ndiswrapper from being unloaded, that's all; [01:59] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated.tnx. [01:59] Pulseaudio: i wouldn't worry too much about viruses on ubuntu, the most important thing is to be careful and not run apps with root unless you are sure they are safe [01:59] ok will try that [01:59] avg is annoying on windows, you can't turn off the complete test function, so every time I run windows on my dual-boot laptop, it takes 10 minutes to do so because avg hogs all the cpu [02:00] Jangari: i'm pretty sure you can turn off the scheduler :X [02:00] a lot of confusion about the need for virus-scanning on ubuntu, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus, for instance, running wine opens a lot of doors .. just my 2 cents [02:00] m0u5e: you said two, AVG and ClamAV I presume? [02:00] i use avast for my anti virus needs [02:01] glitsj16 You run wine.. and windows apps.. and Z mapped.. you deserve to have problems [02:01] m0u5e Pulseaudio: right on.. couldn't find it last time I was setting up a windows box. just installed avast for her instead [02:01] Jack_sparrow, id on't :p [02:01] glitsj16 Didnt hthink you did [02:01] Pulseaudio: yeah, but I don't actually really even use clamAV (i just have it installed)... as I said, being careful is more important than having AV... [02:02] m0u5e: aye. I intend to just scan once a month or so [02:02] well that sort of worked... except that wifi wouldnt work w/ the bcm43xx driver [02:02] Just y'know, it's like having extra protection. Nothing wrong with that [02:02] Pulseaudio: clam AV should be enough for that then, just run it once a month and leave your computer on overnight [02:02] but ndiswrapper definately unloaded [02:02] How do I Get ruby Gems working on Ubutnu Server [02:02] m0u5e: the thing that irks me however is that clamav seems to take >24 hours [02:02] doe sanyone know if CLAMAV is supposed to just automatically update itself? :X [02:02] Pulseaudio: huh.... i dunno then? :X [02:03] m0u5e: I think freshclam automatically updates every weel [02:03] *week [02:03] Pulseaudio: indeed, and f-prot gives you the added functionality of cleaning a virus, none of the others do [02:03] even avg on windows didn't take that long on the same size of hdds [02:03] glitsj16: what's f-prot? [02:03] troxor: that sort of worked... except that wifi wouldnt work w/ the bcm43xx driver, but ndiswrapper deffinately got unloaded [02:04] jedimind: that's a step in the right direction ;) [02:04] yeah :) [02:04] Pulseaudio: another virus-scanner, very stable and documented [02:04] sigh all of this just so i can snoop out some wifi :) [02:04] jedimind: your best bet is just to get another card for monitoring [02:04] glitsj16: is it speedy? I'm hoping for something that doesn't take >24 hours on 600+gb [02:05] hmm, they have a .deb [02:05] but it's an older version... [02:05] Pulseaudio: you might give it a try, but it's the fastest i come across linux-side of things [02:05] Starnestommy: i got same errors any guidance is appreciated - http://paste.ubuntu.com/16314/ [02:05] whats a good irc client besides mirc/pidgin (i dont really like pidgin for IRC) [02:05] * Pulseaudio installs via deb on f-prot's website [02:05] Noxide: xchat [02:05] DIL: I don't know what to do, sorry [02:05] I am installing "The Orange Box" using WINE. When prompted to put in the second disc the application won't allow me to open the disc tray. Please let me know how to fix this. [02:06] Noxide: xchat (not xchat-gnome), irssi, or konversation [02:06] Starnestommy: ty [02:06] Pulse: thanks i'll get that. it says its for FC6.. will it work on any? [02:06] troxor: that is an excellent idea [02:06] jedimind: btw, did you try using `iwconfig rate 54M` with the bcm43xx driver? [02:06] i may even have a pcmcia linksys card laying around [02:06] troxor: yeah, no luck [02:06] Pulseaudio: the deb might be older, the updating is very up-to-date via cron (takes care of that itself after install), gdluck [02:06] they don't update the f-prot's deb often... *sighs* [02:06] what's cron? [02:07] mysterioso /join #winehq [02:07] mysterioso: I'd say you have to umount your CDROM drive first [02:07] glitsj16: so you mean all I have to do is install from .deb and it'll auto-update? [02:07] how do I run a .rpm files? [02:07] Pulseaudio: it schedules tasks [02:07] Noxide not a good idea [02:07] Starnestommy: oh ok [02:07] Sorry! Sorry! I don't know what happened. :( I seriously didn't mean to do that [02:07] Noxide: you really should not use rpm [02:07] my ubuntu us not shutting down, does anybody have any idea on why? i have ubuntu 7.10 [02:07] !rpm [02:07] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:07] Sorry! Sorry! I don't know what happened. :( I seriously didn't mean to do that [02:07] pulseaudio: why update something that's rock-solid .. it's the defs that need updating and that's taken care of via cron, u don't even have to touch that ;) [02:07] Marty81 how do I unmount my cdrom drive? [02:08] Thank you jack.

[02:25] hey [02:25] my ubuntu us not shutting down, does anybody have any idea on why? i have ubuntu 7.10 [02:25] how are everbody? [02:26] jedimind: use regular xchat instead of xchat-gnome [02:26] n-ice did you get the gstreamer codecs [02:26] my ubuntu is not shutting down, does anybody have any idea on why? i have ubuntu 7.10 [02:26] can someone please tell me how to restart my keyboard without restarting x [02:26] hello all [02:26] pablo, When you click shutdown, what happens? Nothing? Back to desktop? Freeze? [02:26] bloodrock, maybe not, how? [02:26] jedimind It is all in the settings... Xchat has a room, which is where I learned what I know [02:26] hey pablo [02:26] I am trying to install a soft focus filter for gimp, how would I do that? [02:26] como estas [02:26] I'm having trouble with the distro upgrade, is this the right channel? [02:26] n-ice add/remove [02:26] jedimind try /join #xchat [02:26] Negromancer, I would think so. [02:26] how can I make a softlink to a directory? [02:26] x-chat-gnome doesnt have that option though afaik - i checked everything; i'll try just xchat [02:27] Eleaf: same as a file. How are you trying? [02:27] I did it before, but forgot how... ln -s directory linkeddirectory doesn't seem to work [02:27] !symlink [02:27] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:27] Eleaf, You mean symlink? Same as a file. [02:27] askreet: thx for the answer. the system closes and goes black but doenst shut down, the same happens with restart and hibernate [02:27] Jack_Sparrow: i threw in a secondary wifi card (PCMCIA), what do i have to do to make it work ? [02:27] hey guys, does anyone know why on my dual monitors, if i have my second monitor plugged in menus and right click on my first monitor are like 3 seconds slower.... [02:27] askreet, doesn't work [02:27] it creates a red file that I can't go into [02:27] Eleaf, Can you show me the full command you're trying. [02:27] Eleaf: pastebin your command and the output [02:27] navetz: Keyboards don't normally need 'restarting'. If you are typing without seeing reaction it may be an X server grab. Try Esc. [02:27] bloodrock, si ya está instalado [02:27] Eleaf, try ls -lhtr it will show you where it's trying to point. Likely you did it backwards. [02:27] jedimind You are asking me too late in the day.. night... [02:27] askreet: somebody told me to check the logs but i dint find anything [02:28] haha np [02:28] stroyan; vmware stole my ctrl and shift keys [02:28] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated. [02:28] n-ice sorry only speak english [02:28] askreet: i mean i didnt find the logs for shutdown [02:28] askreet, and jrib oh it's working now... I guess I have to specify the full directory name not just the relative directory [02:28] quirky [02:28] OK. Well, I start up the distro upgrade from update manager. It gets to "Fetching file 51 of 52" and just freezes with no network activity. It's not *frozen*, it's just doing nothing. [02:28] thanks [02:28] Eleaf: relative works too, if you do it right :) [02:28] Eleaf, you can tottally do relative directory... :) [02:28] bloodrock, lol, sorry, yes, it is already installed, so? [02:28] pablo que cd tienes el de internet o el origial [02:28] m11 Is this a regular install or wubi or vm something? [02:28] does anyone know of a way to extract XP drivers from an executable (i tried a resource editor, but i don't know enough about the PXE format) ? [02:28] navetz: does ctrl-alt help?

[02:28] bah! [02:28] salvadorag: regular [02:28] the two directories were ~/websites/ethansite and /var/www/website.com jrib and askreet [02:29] hmmm well i dont know if its not a harddrive prob since ext3 is ubuntus file system or fs [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: regular install on 2nd HDD [02:29] I am trying to install a soft focus filter for gimp, how would I do that?its on my desktop [02:29] stroyan; nope [02:29] done bloodrock it was already installed [02:29] Eleaf, you may not be able to use the ~ in a symlink, I'm honestly not sure though? [02:29] !fsck | m11 [02:29] m11: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:29] salvadorag: i installed ubuntu 7.10 and make all the upgrades but i havent moved to hardy [02:29] hey guys, I'm trying to get the usbvision driver installed for a dazzle dvc-80, I've never installed a driver before, does anyone know how I could go about doing this? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:29] pablo, Does typing "sudo poweroff" work in console. That should power your computer down using ACPI -- the same way that the shutdown button would attempt, I'd think. [02:29] askreet, it's okay, but I was doing just websites/ethansite because I was in my home directory, for the link to work right, I have to specify ~ or /home/username [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: i am ended in busybox , dont see fschk there [02:30] n-ice k have you tryed any of numerous other media players [02:30] does anyone know of a way to extract XP drivers from an executable? [02:30] bloodrock, yes [02:30] m11 Run a livecd [02:30] I need codecs, no players, bloodrock [02:30] sorry pablo te veo en el de espanol [02:30] Eleaf, you may have to specify relative path, a la ./websites/ethansite [02:30] navetz: Maybe shift-ctrl-alt ??? [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: will do, be back soon [02:30] k [02:31] how can i have ubuntu use the fglrx driver on both DISPLAY=:0 and DISPLAY=:1 ? [02:31] what is the path of my cdrom drive? [02:31] askreet, oh I didn't put the ./ [02:31] WaxyFresh, try /media/cdrom.. I think that's right. [02:31] stroyan; nope, even closing vmware won't fix it. [02:31] !medibuntu > n-iCe [02:31] anyone: I am trying to install a soft focus filter for gimp, how would I do that? [02:31] hey guys, anyone help me w/ vmware install? [02:32] Jack_Sparrow: it is amd64 install, i guess i can use 32bit livecd to do sudo shutdown -F -r now ? [02:32] danbhfive, what's that [02:32] navetz: Once vmware is stopped you may be able to correct that with the xmodmap command. But it may be complicated. [02:32] i'm using this:http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/30/install-vmware-server-106-on-ubuntu-804-hardy/ [02:32] Jack_Sparrow: it seems i have fglrx on dsiplay 0 running fine, but all my windows are running on display 1, which is running mesa (logical displays i suppose, since i only have 1 monitor). any ideas? [02:32] as a reference [02:32] n-ice you sure you have gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin installed === nox_ is now known as n0x [02:32] stroyan; hum ok thnaks. [02:32] I'd just like to say, I choose ubuntu becaues I thought it would be a painless install... this proved to be untrue. I'm now stuck between setting up GRUB to launch ubuntu or fixmbr/fixboot to run windows. [02:33] navetz: xmodmap -pm will show the current modifier mappings. [02:33] Jack_Sparrow: if i start video apps with DISPLAY=:0 app_name then the video is smooth but i have no window management on that window (no borders etc) [02:33] htmljunkie: usually it will have a README or INSTALL file with special instructions if they aren't the standad ones in the docs: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-scripting.html#gimp-plugins-install [02:33] anyone help me out here? [02:33] WaxyFresh: the drive itself is /dev/sdX, depending on how many other drives you have === n0x is now known as Noxide [02:33] there is no ffmpeg , bloodrock [02:33] detrate, Any OS install can have complications, and Ubuntu is certainly not a perfect OS. What happened, I'm sure we can help. [02:33] frsandstone77: best to just ask your question [02:33] kk [02:33] n-iCe: check for a pm from ubotu [02:33] hey does anyone know about car modeling problems with Torcs? === Noxide is now known as noxix [02:33] First time I tried to install, I created a 30gb partition for windows and installed it [02:33] stroyan; what is a modifier mapping, i also see that shift lock control and mod[1-5] are in that list [02:33] n-ice i'm looking at in the add/remove right now [02:34] ls [02:34] question: i have gone through the process of downloading vmware and extracting it all throgh terminal using this site: ' http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/30/install-vmware-server-106-on-ubuntu-804-hardy/ [02:34] navetz: If that output doesn't show any keys mapped to 'shift' or 'control' that would be strong clue. ;-) [02:34] ran the CD to use 'the largest unused space' and it installed without GRUB [02:34] should pcmcia hotswap be enabled by default in hardy ? [02:34] n-ice open your add/remove and do a search for gstreamer [02:34] I am now at a screen asking me this: In which directory do you want to install the binary files? [/usr] [02:34] what do i do? [02:34] same thing happened when I installed XP to the full partition and used the partitioner [02:34] no GRUB [02:34] detrate, The Ubuntu installation didn't install GRUB you mean? Strange. [02:34] stroyan; it shows things mapped to shift lock and control [02:34] yes, twice [02:34] so I used a live CD to do it [02:35] but then I get the NTDLR error when I try to boot into windows [02:35] bloodrock, i told you, it is installed [02:35] so I can fix that by doing the fixmbr/fixboot commands but I loss ubuntu that way [02:35] navetz: The modifier mapping sets a correspondence of keys to modifying attributes. It sounds like vmware did not change that. The trouble is elsewhere. [02:35] =( [02:35] !grub | detrate [02:35] detrate: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:35] detrate, Are you in Ubuntu now? Can you upload a copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst to a pastebin, such as pastebin.ca? [02:35] detrate: First link there [02:35] stroyan; humm ok, but this only happens when i run vmware. [02:35] I'll have to boot back in [02:36] Flannel, I think that's the opposite of his problem, but it might help. [02:36] n-ice well the wmv should be working unless it is not a wmv??? [02:36] So you've already wiped Grub and are now on Windows? [02:36] askreet: Well, he reinstalled the windows bootloader, so he needs to do that to get stage1 back. === Qtpaxa is now known as Qtpaxa\Aek [02:36] navetz: xmodmap -pke | grep -i shift would show if any keycodes are mapped to the Shift_[LR] keysyms. [02:36] Flannel, right, I misunderstood that, you're right :P [02:36] I did that grub thing [02:36] askreet: Well, sounds like he's got stage2 problems too, so you were correct as well. [02:36] it gives me an NTLDR error for booting windows though [02:36] we both win! :D [02:37] n-ice other option would be to do a reinstall of gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin? [02:37] yes, no grub right now [02:37] using windows bootloader [02:37] danbhfive, done, now? [02:37] detrate, I'm lost, where are you now? [02:37] Using the Ubuntu file search tool, does it only search in your home directory? [02:37] :P [02:37] where does ubuntu start compiz at startup by default pls? [02:37] I'm using windows bootloader - I'm on my laptop [02:37] Oh okay, great, not the same PC that makes life easier. [02:37] stroyan; it says keycode 50 is mapped to shift-l [02:37] booting my desktop off the live cd now [02:37] n-iCe: whats up? You installed medibuntu? install the wmv codecs [02:38] So.. reinstall Grub and get us the menu.lst contents. Likely that menu.lst is broken. I find it hard to believe that NTLDR is truely missing. [02:38] danbhfive, yeah, will sudo apt-get update and upgrade work? [02:38] red22: should be in sessions [02:38] stroyan; keycode 62 is mapped to shift-r [02:38] does anyone know of a way to extract XP wireless drivers from an executable, the ones that ship with ubuntu are horribly slow and the ones i can find for XP all come within an executable? [02:38] about f-prot, how do I use it bcl1713 ? [02:38] Man Hydra IRC is nice (Windows) but I can't find the option for name highlighting, it's annoying. [02:38] navetz: I don't think there are any more standard X11 settings that would be stealing away the shift key effect then. I am out of ideas for now. [02:38] red22.... did you install compiz-settings-manager? [02:38] stroyan; alrght thanks [02:39] Does anyone know how to set the Ubuntu search tool to index/search the whole root file system, not just the home directory? [02:39] This the place for Hardy woes, or is there a better channel? [02:39] Pulseaudio: I don't know anything about f-prot [02:39] dang, must've been the wrong guy then [02:39] Pulseaudio: its cool. [02:39] Hey everyone [02:39] n-iCe: sudo aptitude install non-free-codecs [02:39] greenbox, you are are atempting to use the ndiswrapper tools with a windows driver? Often you can track down the specific windows parts allready unarchived on the internet. thats about all i know on the topic. YOu could try the 'cabextract' tool to unpack the exe archive. [02:39] bcl1713.... i dont have compiz in sessions... but it starts at start-up [02:39] someone recommended me f-prot earlier on as an antivirus, I forgot to enable logging so I can't check who [02:40] Dr_willis: thanks for the advice [02:40] tj83: try in preferences -> apperance [02:40] tj83: in the effects tab make it "none" [02:41] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. i tried run sudo shutdown -F -r with livecd but same result after reboot. any help is really appriciated. [02:41] bcl1713... mine works perfectly.. i was saying in regards to red22 [02:41] danbhfive, done, now? [02:41] red22: if its not there try in apperance under "visual effects" and make it none. [02:41] any docs on getting vmware 1.0.5 working with ubuntu 8.04? or should I use a different version of VMWare? I'm having a heck of a time -- Feels like i'm back to using Gentoo :-p [02:41] n-iCe: done [02:42] danbhfive, didn't work [02:42] Hey i think I fixed it, can someone type my nick in a message? [02:42] askreet what's up? [02:42] Ugh, I fixed it but it's freakin' yellow on white. [02:42] just did the grub thing again... [02:42] askreet: lol [02:42] rebooting... [02:42] n-iCe: well, im afraid I dont know whats broken. I saw you asked how to install wmv codecs, and thats how.. : ( [02:42] bcl1713, If you could do that again, I'd appreciate it :) [02:43] ok so i have an internal wifi card that works just fine, and i pluged in a second pcmcia card but i dont know how to get it working? there's an indicator that its got power but it doesnt seem to be getting installed or anything, any ideas? [02:43] !who | frsandstone77 [02:43] frsandstone77: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:43] askreet: no problem [02:43] bcl1713: compiz is working, i just get choppy video and effects, and 3d games are a slide show bc the default display is running mesa drivers... if i send the video to display=:0 then things run smoothly (but no window manager) [02:43] or has anyone gotten vmware to work? I've been through the any-any 116 patch and it doesn't completely solve the problem. now it's giving me errors when I actually try to start the VM? [02:43] Now it's broken again. [02:43] danbhfive, well but why i can't see videos yet? [02:43] last time it wrote (hd1,4) even though I said (hd0,4)... I had to do -> update-grub (because menu.lst didn't exist) and manually edit it [02:43] emily, according to some kubuntu mailing list, there isn't a fix for vmware yet [02:43] n-iCe: i dont know, can you give a link? [02:43] !ask [02:43] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:43] Ugh this is a buggy build is the issue. [02:43] jedimind: And out of curiosity, why would you need/want two wireless cards? [02:43] !vmware > frsandstone77 (read the private message from ubottu) [02:44] MikeJCa: ahh..that answers it. Is there a way I can get an older version of ubuntu server that works with VMWare? [02:44] TZM, I know what my guess is. [02:44] kk [02:44] hi folks, i'm actually on kubu, i hope it's ok to ask here (i can't find an answer on #kubu) ... [02:44] jedimind: just plug it in :P [02:44] TZM: my internal one is using ndiswrapper and i want the secondary one to use a native driver so i can use some networking tools [02:44] how do i test to see if i have opengl working? [02:44] troxor: i did but it doesnt seem to be doing anything? [02:44] I'd be interested if anyone has any further information on vmware and hardy [02:44] hi; I'm trying to execute my command on a cron job but i'ts not working.... if i type it on the bash prompt it works correctly.. whats wrong with it.. 16 21 * * * tar -cvzf /var/www/backups/`date '+%F'`.rfsqlbkp.tar /home/realfta.com/rfsqlbkp/200*-* [02:44] jedimind: what does `dmesg | tail` say after you plug it in? [02:44] TZM: one in monitor mode the other one managed [02:45] MikeJCA, Sorry if i'm missing parts of this converstaion but I've used VMWare on Hardy. [02:45] Maybe I can help? [02:45] frsandstone77: I install custom things to /usr/local, but check those links I sent first [02:45] [ 506.223707] pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 [02:45] askreet: I can't start the VM, and I'm not really getting an error. I've applied the any any 116... [02:45] jossspyker: Ah yes, for "aircracking" and "kiismetting" and all that other fun promiscuous stuff... :) [02:45] Wass|, Worth noting, cron jobs are run in /bin/sh by default -- try it there. [02:45] my prob is installing nvidia drivers via the resticted modules panel icon, after a fresh install of hardy ... the X would not start since nvidia wasn't setup correctly by the restrcited drivers package (it seems) [02:45] jedimind: that's it? [02:45] yup [02:46] askreet, I wish, vmware doesn't start, the vmnet module won't load [02:46] TZM: yes [02:46] jedimind: what card/revision is it? [02:46] emily, If you do lsmod|grep vm do you see 4 or 5 vmware modules running? [02:46] its a linksys WPC11 rev 4 [02:46] MikeJCa, Any error when it tries to load? [02:46] how to check md5 checksum in ubuntu, which application should i use? [02:46] askreet: I see two. vmnet and vmmon [02:46] askreet, See this link; http://www.nabble.com/Hardy-Upgrade-Killed-vmware-server-td17149302.html [02:47] i'm trying the 117 patch now [02:47] jedimind: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsLinksys, all you need is the rtl8180 module [02:47] nanoprobe: use "md5sum" command. [02:47] http://pastebin.ca/1036416 [02:48] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. i tried run sudo shutdown -F -r with livecd but same result after reboot. any help is really appriciated. [02:48] TZM: htx [02:48] MikeJCa & emily, I just realized the box I have VMWare on hasn't been upgraded to Hardy yet, apologies. I guess I'll hold back, huh? I am running VMWare Workstation 6.5 Beta on Hardy at work though... I'm sure that's different :) [02:48] modprobe -v rtl8180 [02:48] ? [02:48] jedimind: yep [02:48] FATAL: Module rtl8180 not found. [02:48] askreet: can you take a look at my menu.lst ? [02:48] ooohhhhhhh, Nautilus' audio preview feature works out of the box in hardy [02:49] jedimind: lol [02:49] i hope it's not calling some command line program..

Alright, remove the two map lines in that menu.lst [02:50] i just installed 8.04 server ed when i try to boot it i get this error "this kernel requires the following fetures not present on the cpu : 0:6 unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu" what do i do ? [02:50] noxix yes [02:51] tj83: oof, nasty solution :\ [02:51] troxor... sorry.. its nasty for sure [02:51] noxix: use synaptic to load kernel modules also [02:51] lsusb doesnt see the card [02:51] anything else? [02:51] detrate-desktop: those would be lines 160 and 161 [02:51] cjones: are you sure you downloaded proper version? [02:51] detrate-desktop: No, tht'll do it. [02:51] m11, i dont know wat that means [02:51] i am perty sure [02:51] its the only thing that works for that card... i missed the start of the subject [02:51] wish me luck :) [02:51] or is lsusb for internal cards only [02:51] nanoprobe you think i might have got x64? [02:51] noxix: system>administration>synaptic package manager [02:51] nanoprobe: Just "md5sum //filename", or change into the directory it is in and "md5sum filename".

[02:59] cjones: Which version? [02:59] I think all mirrors still have isos, one second. [02:59] like 7.x [02:59] dimas869: I don't have that string in that file- what were you looking for? [02:59] cjones: releases.ubuntu.com (but yeah, all mirrors will have it) [02:59] for example: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/ [02:59] has back to 6.06 [03:00] but use whatever mirror is near you [03:00] cjones: why are you going back to an older version? [03:00] troxor i am having this error message...Dpkg: error of processing, in the card index `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near the line 26987 package `glchess' : error in the chain `Version' `4194304:' : there is nothing after the two points in the number of version AND: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned go error code (2) [03:00] dimas869: was apt/dpkg interrupted while installing/removing? [03:00] how do you copy directories that contains symbolic links? i've tried cp -rfd and -rfp but neither worked... [03:00] i want to try an olderversion because i haveing trouble with 8.04 with my cpu [03:00] troxor dont remember [03:01] whats the command to see whats bound on a port? [03:01] lsof [03:01] or netstat -anp [03:01] dimas869: can you pastebin the section of the file around line 26987, what it's complaining about? [03:01] does the fglrx in ubuntu 8.04 supports aiglx, or needs xgl pls ? [03:01] Just installed Hardy on a friends computer and on the initial reboot everything stops at "Grub loading stage1.5".. No dual boot clean install. Sata drive (1 only) .. Any suggestions? [03:01] troxor but like the error massage said there is nothing after the ":" [03:02] troxor: "The ieee80211 Stack is also in the newer Linux mainline kernel, but it isn't compatible with the version used for the rtl-wifi project yet. It has to be deleted before insmodding the modules into the kernel. " [03:02] dimas869: it's probably got a bad version string on that line, and barfs when it doesn't understand it [03:02] will that mess up my other wifi card ? [03:02] troxor should i just delete it then? [03:02] jedimind: hrm, probably... can't say for sure, I don't have much experience with rtl* cards [03:02] rupal [03:02] !grub [03:03] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:03] dimas869: eh, it would probably be better to fix it- what's in /var/lib/dpkg/status-old ? [03:03] dimas869: you can run vimdiff on the two files, to see what's changed [03:03] grub is colloquial for food! [03:03] where can we find (device manager) or something close, ... i want to know my comp's memory and CPU speed [03:03] Scunizi, Try running through the stuff listed when I typed !grub, it will reinstall the grub bootloader, check for errors when you do the steps.. [03:03] Can anyone link me to a tutorial on how to install custom icons? [03:03] troxor vimdiff? [03:04] askreet: already looking at it.. [03:04] Ububegin: add/remove, install sysinfo [03:04] Ububegin: it's kinda nice [03:04] how do i check what modules are currently loaded ? [03:04] dimas869: or whatever you'd like to use to view differences between files [03:04] jedimind: lsmod [03:04] kernel modules? lsmod [03:04] dimas869: or you can just move the files around, e.g. status -> status.borked, and status-old -> status [03:04] i have downloaded ubuntu-desktop it installs fine but after the loading screen goes to a black screen, same from livecd - this is an optiplex 745 that has installed debian and linuxmint just fine - any ideas? I've been trying to get it going for 3 days, i'm a little lost as to why debian boots fine, as does linuxmint (which is based on ubuntu? or debian at least) [03:04] Ububegin: also you may go to system->administration->system monitor [03:04] dimas869: but do keep a copy of both around, just in case [03:05] but I kinda like Sysinfo for things like finding out what the specs of your pc is, etc [03:05] note that if i install ubuntu-server, it loads fine, it's obviously an issue with gnome or x [03:05] troxor how i move them? [03:05] dimas869: sudo mv [03:05] Has anyone here installed Drupal on Ubuntu 8.04? [03:05] dimas869: or sudo cp [03:05] Pulseaudio: i am dl the sysinfo... now... thanks [03:05] troxor where should i find the old one? [03:06] dimas869: the same directory, /var/lib/dpkg [03:06] sgmadison, It's probably some X option that video card doesn't like -- reboot the CD again and check the list of boot options, theres one for a 'safe video mode', though I dont recall what it is. [03:06] askreet - thanks i'll try that [03:06] sgmadison, np mate, let us know how it goes. [03:06] troxor should i just switch the names then? [03:06] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. i tried run sudo shutdown -F -r with livecd but same result after reboot. any help is really appriciated.

Try http://www.pastebin.ca/ [03:08] kk [03:08] dimas869: cp both to your homedir, just in case, then switch them like I said above [03:08] any ideas on my problem though? [03:08] frsandstone77, yeah just reading it... did you upgrade virtualbox? [03:08] Just wondering, is it possible to install cain + able on hardy??? [03:08] hey anyone else have any problem with brasero [03:09] in that it kicks the bucket at 99% [03:09] nope [03:09] is there another good burner i can use in gnome? [03:09] fresh install [03:09] frsandstone77, Something wierd with your configuration file, if you haven't done anything, try moving the config folder and relaunching. mv ~/.VirtualBox ~/.VirtualBoxBroken [03:09] then see if it does the same thing. [03:09] Pulseaudio: yeah, it does a good job.. How about adding the storage info also , cos currently i cant be able to see the hard disk's size [03:09] sweet, we have a winner i think [03:10] askreet: use safe video mode produces an interesting result, it loads to a very artifact infested screen, gets a busy cursor, and then goes completely white - with the cursor still visible and active [03:10] did u try the default cd/ dvd burner [03:10] sorry, try doing what? [03:10] anyone havin any problems burning large data disk? [03:10] 2nd day w/ ubuntu [03:10] im using ubuntu and i cant install gujin on a dvd? can some one help me??? [03:10] m_newton, whats the default dvd burner? [03:10] sgmadison, Wow. What kinda system again? [03:10] askreet: however while I was typing that, it looks like xserver restarted and i'm on the desktop now - if I install how do I enable whatever this did? [03:10] <[RICE]> Does anybody know the way to make Tint Task Manager stay on the top layer? [03:10] askreet: an optiplex 745, intel 975G chipset/onboard video if i'm not mistaken, I've nveer had an issue with it under windows or any other linux distro before [03:10] sgmadison, I *think* whatever boot options you use on the cd are propogated to the installation. I remember having to use a certain flag for a laptop and the issue never occured in the installed copy. [03:10] grndslm: hey.. just wanted to let you know I've been playing with a program called TestDisk which seems to have located a backup superblock for the ext3 filesystem that I SHOULD be able to use to recover the partition table!!! [03:10] what are you trying to burn exactly [03:11] sgmadison, Pretty recent chipset, this is Hardy? [03:11] askreet: correct [03:11] m_newton, some .avi and .mpg files that i want to be able to open on windows [03:11] Question to all:Just wondering, is it possible to install cain + able on hardy??? [03:11] askreet: 8.04, downloaded and burned yesterday [03:11] sgmadison, Wierd. I've never used it on that chipset, I wonder if it's a chipset-specific bug. [03:11] askreet: well, the last time I burned it was yesterday, I thought maybe something was wrong with the CD [03:11] askreet: I've googled and found other people reporting the issue as far back as the GX260 on gutsy gibbon, but it looks like anytime someone fixes it they never say how... [03:12] gimi a sec [03:12] sgmadison, Anyway, whatever flag you booted with could be appended to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to produce the same result, theoretically. I think the installation LiveCD is the same kernel. [03:12] Howdy [03:12] So [03:12] troxor you still there? [03:12] pipegeek, Hi there. [03:12] Does anyone know the name of the app that opens when you press alt+f2? [03:12] askreet: I'm going to try enabling the safe video mode and installing, I'll report back about how ti goes =P [03:12] askreet: hi :) [03:13] dimas869: yep [03:13] Just booted a system for the first time in a few months, and decided to upgrade gutsy -> hardy. Resolved all outstanding package updates, rebooted (new kernel), then waited for the "you've got updates!" icon to appear in my system tray [03:13] im using xchat. does anyone use other irc clients? [03:13] chatzilla [03:13] only, it didn't. So, how do I kick off the upgrade, if ubuntu doesn't think there are any updates waiting for me? [03:13] <[RICE]> Weechat [03:13] sgmadison, For the record, I think safe video mode uses the Xorg "vesa" driver instead of autodetecting nvidia, nv, radeon, intel, etc. I'm guessing the chipset would autodetect intel and try that. [03:13] troxor could you explain me what is it i need to do? [03:14] can anyone recommend a really customizable terminal that supports transparency and possible no file menu? [03:14] frsandstone77, [RICE] thx [03:14] pipegeek, gnome-terminal supports all that. [03:14] SirBob1701: gnome-terminal supports transparency [03:14] http://www.spreadfirefox.com/eng/worldrecord/ [03:14] vadi2 & SirBob1701, and no file menu. [03:14] soulwarp: no problem [03:14] dimas869: `sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status{,-broken}; sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status{-old,}` [03:14] askreet: heh, I think you meant to direct that to SirBob1701 [03:14] <[RICE]> @SirBob1701, xfce4-terminal is pretty good (and doesn't actually need xfce4 to work) [03:14] pipegeek, Haha, sure did. [03:14] still ther m_newton ? [03:15] askreet: honestly, this is for a little 'rack' of 12 optiplex's, I wanted to try something besides debian, I like having a gui environment instead of just staring at terminals when i play with them, but once they're set up I really just remote desktop in with vnc [03:15] sorry, I type slower than I think [03:15] yup trying to find the app in the menu [03:15] But how do I explicitly start the ubuntu upgrade tool? [03:15] sgmadison, Then vesa is fine ;). I can't say I agree with you though, I usually roll out ubuntu-server on .. uh.. servers :) [03:15] pipegeek: update-manager -d [03:15] someone knows how can i read .ape sound files in ubuntu?1 [03:15] troxor i am going to copy and paste that on the terminal is that ok? [03:15] dimas869: it should be ok, yes === cygoku is now known as Cygoku [03:15] dimas869: nobody's yelled at me yet ;) [03:15] danbhfive: my thanks [03:16] troxor: sweet it sees the card now but the connection is wonky, it has 100% signal then drops to 0 and it keeps doing that [03:16] dolphin_noel, one second, I think I've seen this somewhere. [03:16] troxor lol [03:16] try this, insert the disk [03:16] haha, there it is in the system menu [03:16] <|thunder> hardy sucks,, it runs like crap [03:16] askreet: I'm just not totally comfortable with my terminal skills yet, I use the terminal alot, but for some things I'm just not "there" yet [03:16] I'm a doof [03:16] askreet :) [03:16] [RICE]: thanks [03:16] |thunder: in what sense? [03:16] jedimind: hmm.. anything in dmesg/logs? [03:16] I have this apache2 process that don't die. Any ideas? [03:16] <[RICE]> @SirBob1701, No problem ^^ [03:16] and right click on it and tell me what you see in the open with collem [03:16] <|thunder> pipegeek; ubuntu has gotten progressivley slower since dapper. especially when trying to play any game. [03:17] say you have a 10mb down connection, you can't actually download at that can you? [03:17] <|thunder> *3d game [03:17] odd [03:17] jedimind: tail -f /var/log/daemon.log can be helpful with networkmanager [03:17] is it just gnome?

Any ideas on how to get rid of it, its bound on port 443 and I need that port [03:18] |thunder, try xubuntu if you want speedy system [03:18] if not look in synaptics for iso master [03:18] if not look in synaptics for dvd or cd [03:18] reinstalled grub on fresh install of Hardy, everything stops on boot displaying GRUB Loading stage1.5.. nothing after that.

[03:19] that rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/installing page only apparently supports 8187 and 8185, though it uses the 8180 driver to do so [03:19] sigh [03:19] askreet: any other suggestions? with grub that is? after reinstall still stuck in the same place [03:19] dolphin_noel, I found what I was looking for but it's specific to Dapper. Have you installed the -bad and -ugly plugin packages for gstreamer? [03:19] the command for cd/dvd burner by the way is nautilus-cd-burner [03:19] hi [03:19] just killing it via shell works for you amrik ? [03:19] |thunder, they have made some changes to the interface [03:19] (the process) [03:19] bye brb [03:19] That command and site did not work [03:19] Scunizi, You booted off the livecd and reinstalled grub, any errors during the process?

[03:20] Infinito_: no, sudo kill -9 wont kill it, and its STAT isnt zombie [03:20] troxor thanks [03:20] dolphin_noel, There are a few people on google that have compiled it themselves, but many have poor results. I would look to see if there is a beep-media-player or XMMS plugin for it. [03:20] dimas869: no problem [03:20] m11: have you tried a clean install? [03:20] troxor i gt restart [03:21] how to get screenshots of boot process? [03:21] later...;-) [03:21] Scunizi, very wierd. It's stuck at stage1.5 right? [03:21] !help [03:21] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [03:21] <|thunder> Soulwarp; its still gnome, and im not talking about compiz. that is tuned off and metacity is running [03:21] askreet: yep [03:21] !resolution [03:21] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [03:21] danbhfive: u recomend to reinstall ? [03:21] troxor: so im basically SOL ? [03:21] askreet: maybe something with splash? acpi? .. never had a machine do this to me. [03:21] m11: well, you are saying hardware failure, did you fix that? [03:21] how to get screenshots of install process [03:21] askreet hum :x ok i will try this to thank you :) [03:21] JFactor-> i just went through the hazzle, i have to delete my ~/.gconfd ~/.gconf .nautilus .ICEauthority [03:22] jedimind: sort of, the options are getting more painful [03:22] hey does anyone know about a sizing problem running ubuntu on a ps3? I can't complete the install because it won't resize [03:22] danbhfive: hardware error fixed, dead cooler on chipset [03:22] |thunder, i have also noticed a strange slow down coming from feisty, im not sure why [03:22] I have to step out for a while [03:22] afk [03:22] |thunder, im using hardy now [03:22] how to get screenshots of install process [03:22] resize the window I mean [03:22] troxor one more question...it wont hurt if i just keep the old status file? [03:23] Scunizi, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Have you tried kicking the tower? [03:23] Wow. [03:23] :) [03:23] crap im so close i cant give up now, it scans for networks fine but its just reall unstable [03:23] m11: well, either it permanently damaged your mobo, or corrupted some data on your harddrive, am I right? [03:23] I have never, ever, had an ubuntu upgrade go smoothly. And I've been here since warty! [03:23] upgrade tool just crashed [03:23] dimas869: nah, it'll probably get overwritten later [03:23] askreet: since it isn't mine.. no I just threw it 1/2 mile back to the owner :) [03:23] spsneo, only way i figured out how to take a screen shot of an install process is virtualization such as Virtualbox [03:23] troxor ok [03:23] OK, so that wasn't a very helpful thing for me to say ;) [03:23] Why does xterm doesn't read .profile ? [03:23] pipegeek, Did you fully upgrade the OS on the current revision first? [03:24] yes. [03:24] pipegeek, also, remind me, gutsy -> hardy? [03:24] yeah [03:24] danbhfive: it just cant boot into system, rest is working ok [03:24] upgrade window stopped responding, doesn't redraw itself, isn't taking any cpu [03:24] anyone here using an nforce4 motherboard and finding the sound to be really quiet in 8.04? I've got the sound maxed in alsamixer, in mythtv, and am piping video through an audio normalizer, but it is still about half of the volume of my nforce3 based system [03:25] m11: but did you follow my logic? [03:25] Does xterm have to read ~/profile ? [03:25] ~/.profile [03:25] indio, NFC, man [03:26] danbhfive: some data got corupted [03:26] pipegeek, Did you run it from a console? Any output? [03:26] m11: hopefully, thats the case, and a clean install should fix that [03:26] woohoo [03:26] sgmadison, Are you on the installed system? [03:26] askreet: I'm a dipsh*t. backgrounded it and closed the terminal [03:26] m11: do you have a separate /home partition? [03:26] m11, that works thank you [03:26] indeed [03:26] np noxix [03:26] whats a good winamp like mp3 player for ubuntu? [03:26] pipegeek, Haha, kill it and run again, check for errors :P [03:27] danbhfive: OS works [03:27] sgmadison-ub, Nice. [03:27] danbhfive: it is just not loading [03:27] askreet: that was an easy fix, I feel kind of silly [03:27] :P) [03:27] :-\ Last time I did that (different box) it decided that it was already upgraded, and refused to run. Took me two hours of fiddling to make the thing go, and then it delivered me a broken install [03:27] >.< [03:27] noxix- banshee [03:27] wellp, nothing for it [03:27] danbhfive: EXT3-fs error and groupd size description [03:27] sgmadison-ub, That's a nice thing about this community, even if it's simple, someone will usually tell it to you anyway and save you the minutes or hours, or weeks it might take to fix :) [03:28] so i have openbox installed and I'm using feh to change the backround but after i exit and launch back in then the background gets wanked over by the ubuntu-gnome desktop wallpaper [03:28] jedimind: did you try booting into an earlier kernel? [03:28] how can i stop this [03:28] pipegeek, I've only ever done one Ubuntu upgrade gutsy to hardy beta and I had 0 issues. I know this doesn't help, though :P [03:28] Alguem do Brasil ? [03:28] !br [03:28] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:29] how do I have a different keyboard layout for a second user on 8.04, that is saved between sessions [03:29] troxor: the site says that the mods have been patched for 2.6.24-17-generic which is what im running [03:29] brody: ok ill try that out. [03:29] askreet: It worries me. It seems like this is the one thing that really really needs to work, or new folks'll be scared off [03:29] !es [03:29] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:29] noxix - or you could try amarok, rythmbox, or any others [03:29] pipegeek, The thing that would be nice is for us to figure out why it worked for one person and not another, it seems rather trivial. Anything special in your Ubuntu configuration? [03:29] The answer would be for me to put my money where my mouth is, and contribute :) [03:29] banshee being my favorite [03:29] pipegeek, Right, haha. [03:30] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated. [03:30] m11: so I guess its booting, and you get that error? I dunno mate, sorry. Maybe you need to run fschk. There is a way to get it to run on boot, but I cant find that atm [03:30] Not especially. A few packages from unofficial repos, which I removed out of prudence before the upgrade [03:30] Can I safely change from IDE emulation mode to AHCI (in the BIOS settings) once I have Ubuntu installed or will all my drives be remapped so things like LVM and soft raid would break? [03:30] I'm having sound issues, only 1 thing can have sound at a time... how do I fix this? === Marty81_ is now known as Marty81 [03:30] danbhfive: yes , i think fschk would solve problem but i dont know how to stsart it after in livecd [03:30] pipegeek, I was just thinking of asking you if you had any unofficial repos out there. [03:30] hey guys, can somebody help me fix my windows key? [03:31] rathel: are you using the default sound setup? [03:31] navetz, I'll leave that one alone. :P What's wrong with it? [03:31] askreet: not no more [03:31] hi all, my thin-client can't connect to host. this is the paste bin of the syslog: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2927f2a0 [03:31] Kronic_Det1, Yes. Default on Hardy. [03:31] pipegeek, Maybe it's trying to find those packages, and since the repos are no longer it's more confused than it was. Do you still have them handy? [03:31] well, but the packages are purged [03:31] pipegeek, Oh. [03:31] !fsck | m11 [03:31] m11: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:31] askreet: it stoped working, i accidently changed some keyboard configurations, and I don't know how to fix it. [03:31] askreet: and two of the repos 404'ed [03:32] that should be using pulse for all the sound so there shouldn't be any /dev contention. What sound card is in your box? [03:32] pipegeek, thats why I hate unofficial repos :/ [03:32] jedimind: try this, `find /lib/modules/ | grep rtl` [03:32] since I last used them. Just replaced a broken mobo after four months of not using this machine [03:32] pipegeek, I, of course, still use them. [03:32] hehe [03:32] i cannot kill the apache2 process, can someone help me? [03:32] gotta have my avant-window-navigator with plugins. [03:32] which program should i use for DVD .iso image burning? [03:32] It's just a shame that apt-get dist-upgrade is out. I've only ever flubbed one debian upgrade, and I've been *there* since woody [03:33] anyone can help me solving the ltsp or dhcp please [03:33] amrik, ps aux|grep apache2 -- what does it show for a status (should be 1 char, like S, S+, D, Z) [03:33] danbhfive: great :) now how i do that from busybox as livecd dont do nothing with that command = [03:33] askreet: its not zombie, just S [03:33] u there [03:33] running in a terminal nao [03:33] troxor: among others, the ones relevant to my kernel include: /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.ko [03:33] /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko [03:33] prob solved? [03:33] amrik, And kill -9 does nothing? [03:33] m11: I dunno anything about busybox [03:33] jedimind: but your card is an 8180, isn't it? [03:33] askreet: www-data 7373 0.0 2.1 87968 16752 ? S May28 0:09 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL [03:33] no mention of 8180 for any kernel version [03:33] askreet: nope [03:33] yes [03:33] 8180L [03:33] Kronic_Det1, It's an intel. [03:34] askreet: is it because it is broke ? - tried to stop it ? [03:34] though this mod is supposed to work for 818x [03:34] jedimind: yeah, that's another module that was mentioned in that bug report earlier [03:34] danbhfive: how about run sudo shutdown -F -r now from livecd ? [03:34] Question to all:Just wondering, is it possible to install cain + able on hardy??? [03:34] hey [03:34] ugh, it died without removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock [03:34] Where can i setup X-environment variables in gnome? [03:34] jedimind: what does dmesg say when you load it? [03:34] Cromag, I was responding to someone else, my apaches stop when I tell them to :P [03:34] askreet: doh my bad... :D [03:34] can any one help me with the "initramfs" while installing ubuntu? [03:34] amrik, not that it should matter, but have you tried a killall `apache2` [03:34] im gonna have to paste you it in query [03:35] sec [03:35] erm [03:35] take those backticks out.. [03:35] askreet: yes, also kill -kill etc.etc. [03:35] m11: so your system won't boot? I think you should run fsck from the livecd [03:35] amrik: what about sudo killall apache2? [03:35] amrik, That is so bizarre... >.< [03:35] amrik: is it because it is broke ? - tried to stop it ? [03:35] danbhfive: how would i go with that ? [03:35] <[RICE]> Does anybody know the way to make Tint Task Manager stay on top of all other windows (like most other panels do) [03:35] amrik, Yes, i'm assuming you're doing this as root... [03:35] Where can i setup X-environment variables in gnome? [03:35] tried apache2 stop, then apache2 start and apache cant bind to port 443 because one of these ultrazombie processes has it bound [03:36] "ultrazombie", I like that. [03:36] rathel: go to System > Preferences > Sound. Does the Device under Default Mixer Tracks have ALSA or OSS in it's name? [03:36] askreet: people here do things woth sudo most of the time, not directly as root [03:36] *with [03:36] sorry about the spam [03:36] hello. any one? wanna help me? pls [03:36] !ask [03:36] 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. :-) [03:36] zero-velocity: with what? [03:36] m11: I dunno, I would check the man page. Again, it may be easier to just do a clean install. Thats what I would do. Expecially if you have a separate /home [03:36] amrik , i think i heard somthing that is know apache bug in 8.04 , check launcpad [03:36] Starnestommy, Right. That's sorta what I meant. [03:36] :) [03:36] <{}zombie> can i connect my desktop to the internet, via ethernet cable>laptop>wifi? is this possible? [03:36] m11: except im running dapper 6.06 LTS [03:36] jedimind: no problem, that look sort of promising [03:36] Kronic_Det1, ALSA [03:37] m11: can you give me a bug id? [03:37] zero-velocity: oh, the initramfs thing. It sounds liek a bad burn or a bad iso image === tmilne is now known as winter4all [03:37] yeah i mean it loads it fine, i can see wifi spots in the network manager through the interface [03:37] with ubuntu installisation.. it keeps stoping on busybox initramfs [03:37] danbhfive: reinstall out of question :/ [03:37] but it just keeps dropping from 100% connectivity to 0 [03:37] amrik: cant remember, just recall i heard it somewhere about apache spawning proceses [03:37] {}zombie you can do it with dnsmasq and ipforwarding [03:38] is there a way to reconfigure your keyboard? [03:38] amrik, What is the apache2's process' PPID? [03:38] my windows key doesn't wokr [03:38] ... [03:38] zero-velocity, ubuntu 8.04, livecd ? [03:38] <{}zombie> thanks, harriseldon does it matter that the laptop is xp, and desktop is ubuntu? [03:38] yup [03:38] askreet: the parent id? how do I find that? there is no ptree for some reason [03:38] {}zombie yes that matters. lol. The other way would be better of course [03:38] askreet: perhaps there is another command? [03:38] when booting virtualbox in windows xp I receive the following error: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted." [03:38] jedimind: but, wasn't that the interface you wanted to use for monitor mode? [03:39] akrik, You can use ps, but I dont remember the flags and I'm not on a *nix box right now :/ [03:39] yes [03:39] which means it wont work as is :) [03:39] akrik that was for amrik [03:39] {}zombie I cannot help with internet connection sharing in XP. I do not use Windows. [03:39] This should work: [03:39] hey, all. Having a problem getting NX Server running on my machine (wel, FreeNX/No Machine) [03:39] What command can you use to see a processes parent pid? [03:39] <{}zombie> ok, thanks though [03:39] The packages I got don't seem to include libX11-nx.so.6. [03:39] And that's killing it. [03:39] Any ideas? [03:39] jedimind: you shouldn't need network manager to associate with anything for networkmanager [03:39] jedimind: oof, that made no sense :( [03:40] how do i manually open ports to make my emails work? [03:40] im just saying network manager picks it up so its loaded etc [03:40] {}zombie here is good guide if it were the other way around. It is gentoo-specific, but I have used it on a debian based system before. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml === kat is now known as Guest26808 [03:40] its just unstable [03:40] jedimind: yep, that's good, but it doesn't matter that it won't connect to anything for monitor mode [03:40] harpreet, as far as I know, ubuntu doesn't ship with a software firewall enabled. [03:40] oh [03:40] askreet, by default all ports are closed [03:40] askreet: ok i did ps -ef [03:40] <{}zombie> thanks i'll check it out, i may just have to put a live cd in my lappy [03:40] askreet: looks like init (pid 1) has adopted them [03:41] Anyone here have NX Server experience? [03:41] amrik, as it should be. [03:41] amrik sinha,..ki haal aa [03:41] Arrgh [03:41] amrik, that's very strange :/ [03:41] gets to "preparing upgrade", progress bar fills, then it stops responding. No cpu activity [03:41] no output to stdout, since the upgrade program is separate from update-manager [03:42] the sound doesn't seem to be working, just installed today. anybody have any ideas? [03:42] Next stop, strace [03:42] how do i manually open ports to make my emails work? [03:42] pipegeek, My guess is there has to be an apt equivelent command or series of commands to do the upgrade. [03:42] askreet: maybe its an orphan? [03:42] amrik, I can't say I'm an expert but S means sleep and 1 is init, so it seems "happy" [03:42] askreet: there isn't :-\ At least, not that's supported. You're supposed to use their tool. [03:42] sweet, airsnort is working :) [03:42] when booting virtualbox in windows xp I receive the following error: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted." [03:43] pipegeek, Is the tool some kind of awesome easily-readible bash/python script? [03:43] It's python. It gets automatically downloaded into /tmp by update-manager---I've looked at it before [03:43] lemme take a look [03:43] ok no one to help? [03:43] frsnadstone77-you need to properly select the version of xp form your harddisk [03:43] askreet: is there any way for init to IGNORE one of its adopted children? [03:43] can i use live cd check and repair option to fix my boot process ? [03:44] jedimind: there ya have it- who needs fully functional hardware ;) [03:44] zero-velocity: have you tried the alternate CD? [03:44] haha [03:44] brody, what do you mean by proper? [03:44] yes. it would say the same thing [03:44] now if only i knew how this thing worked and how / when it figures out a wep key [03:44] you can click general settings and then find the propper bootable system [03:44] what is the default username and pass for samba after installation ? i am able to access the drive from my xp machine but wont take my ubunt server username and pass [03:45] zero-velocity: at the boot prompt, press F6 and then add "noacpi noapic nolapic" to the line [03:45] mutex deadlock [03:45] that shouldn't happen [03:45] DJ_HaMsTa, You need to add smb users, it's wierd. I think it's smbpasswd, try doing smbpasswd --help [03:45] go to general settings and then go to cd/dvd rom and select the boot source for xp [03:45] brody, i'm gonna send you a screenshot okay? [03:45] k [03:45] askreet: i can see the users in webmin === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [03:45] I'm trying to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein in Wine (0.9.59) and RTCW says I don't have opengl installed (I'm using the nvidia drivers, glxgears works). There is a lot of old and conflicting information about opengl and wine online. Does anyone know if I need a special package installed or somesuch? [03:45] DJ_HaMsTa, Hm, sorry, not familiar with webmin. :( [03:46] If I want to edit my kernel and optimize the kernel for a specific CPU where would the file be to do so? [03:46] "noacpi noapic nolapic" with space? [03:46] frsandstone77 where is xp located on your disk [03:46] NTU do you mean you would like to recompile your kernel? [03:46] Falstius, glxgears works with mesa software rendering, though. What does glxinfo |grep Direct say? [03:46] uhh [03:46] nowhere [03:46] i just installed ubuntu [03:46] whose got a working two video cards (agp and pci) to work on same host? may I copy your xorg.conf configs? i tried but its only one video and not both at same time [03:46] then installed virtualbox [03:47] how do i manually open ports to make my emails work? [03:47] how do i manually open ports to make my emails work? [03:47] do i have to install a partition? [03:47] Aha [03:47] ! [03:47] no you need a valid copy of xp [03:47] you can specify that it uses a text frontend [03:47] is it possible to send sms messages from ubuntu to cell phones? [03:47] and it seems to get somewhere. [03:47] harpreet, I'm still confused as to what you are trying to do. Are you trying to *send* email from your computer, or trying to have your computer receive emails as an email server? [03:47] okay... [03:47] harpreet: you need to make sure that your email sender is configred to send to other places [03:47] like tinyXP_rev06 [03:47] i have one of those, i just didnt know how to activate it w/ this program [03:47] alright [03:47] pipegeek, How do you do that? [03:47] now we're cooking with gas [03:47] askreet: "direct rendering: Yes" ... the game itself is complaining about opengl missing [03:47] k [03:47] brb [03:48] jordan-> you can try chikka visit chikka.com you may have to use wine with if the linux client dont work well [03:48] askreet: find the directory where it unpacked the upgrade tool, and run ./hardy --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText [03:48] askreet, starnestommy i am trying to send emails through evolution [03:48] it'll be somewhere in /tmp [03:48] wow. ew [03:48] :) [03:48] in bashrc file I can use export command, however, is there an equivalent method of defining variables in gnome? [03:49] harpreet: do you have the right outgoing servers set? [03:49] starnestommy, yes [03:49] i can't get juk to launch in ubuntu [03:49] harpreet, In the world of software firewalls (Which I'm 99.9% certain isn't enabled on Hardy by default) output traffic such as email from evolution would *not* be blocked. Are you sure your evolution settings are correct to be sending mail? Are you using the SMTP information provided by your ISP/Mail service? [03:49] create a virtual system by following the instructions it gives you and then when it says choose the mount point find the copy of xp that you have and tell it to boot from that file [03:49] jordan i just checked their web site, and yes you can send from ubuntu..via a web browser [03:49] askreet, all settings are same as they are suppose to be in windows too [03:50] harpreet, So, you are able to receive mail, but unable to send? [03:50] askreet, exactly [03:51] troxor: thanks so much for all your help and patience man [03:51] w00t [03:51] harpreet, If you want to rule out a firewall blocking you, you can try to connect to the SMTP server via telnet and send it a HELO. Go to a console and type telnet [03:52] If it connects then you are clear to talk, try typing HELO and pressing enter, I think you should get something back. [03:52] HELO [03:52] Eleaf: EHLO [03:52] guys is it possible to dpkg -reconfigre your keyboard somehow? [03:52] :P [03:52] Not here. [03:52] navetz: what do you mean?

[03:56] melch: after you install it. open firestarter and there will be a wizard to guide you through [03:56] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated. [03:56] Can you make the caps lock key into an additional modifier? [03:57] melch I have used this guide before. It is gentoo specific, but I have used it on Debian systems as well. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml [03:57] androver: alright thanks [03:57] harriseldon, thanks [03:57] melch yw [03:58] how do i turn up the sound? [03:58] anybody know a java ide for linux that can do auto files for example if I type System. it will show me a list of parameters like System.out System.in etc [03:58] codecaine, I would think Eclipse does. [03:58] askreet, outbox shows message sent but it doesnt reach [03:58] It's pretty much *the* Java IDE for *everything* [03:58] quick question, I have Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz on my laptop, what firefox optimized whould I use, I want to downgrade to FF 2, instead of FF3B5, shoudl i get pentium 4, pentium M, pentium 4m? [03:58] codecaine: netbeans will also do the trick. it depends pretty much on your preference [03:59] how do i turn up the sound??? [03:59] Prez00, I think any will work, I'm not sure which is more optimized. Core 2 Duo should support all of those archs [03:59] Prez00, I also dislike FF3 [03:59] :) [03:59] i'm trying to put vmware on ubuntu 7.10 server edition and i'm getting "error while loading share libraries: libX11.so.6 -- does anyone know if vmware server actually requires X? Is there something I should apt-get? [03:59] askreet, outbox shows message sent but it doesnt reach [04:00] emily_, VMWare Server Console requires X, I dont think Ubuntu has a way to install VMWare Server without the Console.. [04:00] askreet: I actually have only one big problem with FF3B5, the facebook chat app does not work reliably at all.. [04:00] askreet: is there any way to force the unbind of a socket? [04:00] Prez00, I have an entirely different complaint -- they took out the Forms tab in the Page Info box, was so useful for web development :/ [04:00] askreet: augh. So can I just apt-get x or something? I really wasn't looking forward to all that bloat... [04:01] ruiboon, no go === [mindvirus] is now known as mindvirus [04:01] no one knows how to turn up the sound on xubuntu??? [04:01] emily_: All you're losing is hard disk space if you never actually launch VMWare Server Console. [04:01] Hmm, I've noticed a strange behavior when pinging from a ubuntu 8.04 box. It takes a lot of time before it starts displaying the RTT's due to reverse DNS lookups performed on every packet. Does anyone know how to disable that? [04:01] Julia1: is there a sound mixer on the top right? [04:01] what port should outgoing smtp be using ? [04:01] what is the server name for cairo dock [04:01] server irc.thundercity.net [04:02] emily_: I would like to think, and you can verify, that the vmware server apps arn't linked to libX11 [04:02] askreet: I know -- but I'm using a lot of CPU Cycles on the gui... [04:02] harpreet: 25 [04:02] melch: no go as in...? [04:02] lainy: no [04:02] emily_: You don't need X running, is what I'm saying :) [04:02] Staarnestommy, smtp server doesnt respond at 25 === help1 is now known as helpy [04:02] ruiboon, do i have to have the firewall starting [04:02] Julia1: any "sound" entries in the menu? [04:02] emily_: The server console is for connecting to other VMWare Servers, or locally.. you won't be using it if it's a headless server. [04:02] Julia1: preferences or administration, perhaps? === helpy is now known as helpy2 [04:02] askreet: ahh, so install x, but don't start it? do you know how I would install it then? [04:03] emily_: apt-get install xserver-xorg will *work* there may be a way just to get the libs, but I 'm not sure. [04:03] askreet: yeah, I have the console installed on my workstation. was planning on connecting to the server remotely [04:03] ringer: /join #cairo-dock [04:03] how to install my printing driver...?? [04:03] melch: are you at the wizard now? [04:03] i've downloaded it and the package was in rpm [04:03] ruiboon yes [04:03] and i'm confussed using synaptic [04:03] with the netowrk manager, how do i connect to a wireless hotspot taht doesnt have a name (but i have its sssid) ? [04:04] new2linux there is a package called alien which converts rpm to deb [04:04] new2linux: find a .deb or a .tar.bz2/gz file [04:04] Starnestommy thanks [04:04] askreet: so I just need the libs? [04:04] any one got Radmin, knoledge on Samba and is willing to connect to my pc ? (to help me with a samba issue) [04:04] new2linux: if at all possible, avoice using rpms unless you must [04:04] *avoid [04:04] emily_: Sounds like it. It's looking for libX11.so or some such right? [04:04] rui [04:04] i went to the official brother website, the links say for debian distro, but it gives me rpm [04:04] ...?? [04:04] askreet: libx11.so.6 ...yup [04:04] i'll try allien [04:04] ruiboon, should i take down my eht0 [04:05] bssid that is [04:05] new2linux that is alien like the life form [04:05] Hey, anyone know how to host a disk image on an ubuntu server for PXE-booting clients? [04:05] i set up the wizard, it won';t ket me start the firewall [04:05] new2linux: you do know that alien sometimes messes things up, right? [04:05] melch: yes. you need to start the firewall now [04:05] i tried add/remove programs and search alien, return to alien 3d game [04:05] emily_: Theres definately a package for X11 libs, but I'm not on/near a *nix box right now to look for it. If you do apt-get install xserver-xorg it will show you a list of packages it's going to install.. look for something that sounds right :) [04:05] melch: at which part did the wizard prompt you to take down your eth0? [04:06] new2linux: check in synaptic [04:06] Gotta reboot myself, though, going to dual-boot this box. Best of luck, emily_. :) [04:06] askreet: I think it's working without it [04:06] askreet: just won't let me put in the key [04:06] ruiboon, no part it was two windows. I am already done [04:06] what's the difference between add/remove programs and synaptic..? [04:06] ruiboon, it will not let me start the firwall [04:06] new2linux: add/remove is just gnome GUI stuff [04:06] how can i make sure that commands in a bash script get executed in the same forked bash shell......do i use the {} braces...?!? [04:06] melch: is there any error message? [04:06] new2linux: synaptic is everything and it has more feeatures [04:07] I'm having sound issues, only 1 thing can have sound at a time... how do I fix this? [04:07] ruiboon, device eth1 is not ready [04:07] starnestommy: both is the same right, only add/remove is for the simply one and synaptic much more for pro or specific? [04:07] new2linux: essentially, yes [04:07] askreet i got something :) [04:08] anyone have any idea why gdm would be failing to run /etc/gdm/Init/Default? Im trying to get synergy going and it seems to ignore that file complete... even if i put a touch /tmp/something in there it doesnt create the file [04:08] nano_ by default commands in a script act in the same shell. What are you trying to do that you need to ensure they are in the same "forked shell"? [04:08] Hello! Anyone know a good library of dictionary to use for open office? like word 2007, this is so that oppen office recognizes what i type like word???? Any ideas??? [04:09] melch: could you try, sudo ifup eth1 [04:09] harriseldon: im actually on command line, and i need to make sure that 2 of my commands are executed in the same forked shell [04:09] macogw where are u [04:09] starnestommy: now, how to use the alien, i can't found any image on the start menu. do i have to do it via terminal [04:09] new2linux: yes [04:09] harriseldon: i think i need to use particular braces or something...? [04:09] is there an apt-get package for libx11.so.6 that I can install without installing all of X? if not, whats the package I can apt-get that will have the smallest footprint? [04:09] any one got Radmin, knoledge on Samba and is willing to connect to my pc ? (to help me with a samba issue) [04:10] nano_ the braces are used for variables. Can you use pastebin and I can take a quick look at your script? [04:10] emily if I wasn't a newb I'd help you [04:10] ruiboon, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1." [04:10] htmljunkie: lol thanks :-) [04:10] harriseldon: i actually dont have a script [04:10] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated.

I can do this in /etc/bash.bashrc and then lauch this application from within bash with no problems. However, my problem is that when i try to run this application from the gnome main menu, this variable is not set...thusly may application doesn't work correctly from the gnome main menu...any ideas as to ho [04:12] w i can set gnome environment variables? [04:12] does anyone even run nano? [04:12] lol [04:12] melch: could you paste the content of /etc/interfaces into pastebin ?

[04:14] nano_ using .bashrc is fine, but it gets run only once when you login. [04:14] emily__: using mac osx introduced me to the terminal and I was curious about it [04:14] augh! now it wants libXtst.so.6!!! [04:14] oi [04:14] melch: ahh.. sorry fault on my part. it should be /etc/network/interfaces [04:14] on my ls i've got the desktop, how to get to desktop...?

If you do it without the / and make sure the D is capital, it will work (cd Desktop) [04:16] menu* [04:16] new2linux if you want to ensure that you are going to your desktop, you can use cd ~/Desktop.

That's of the wierdness >< [04:31] That loads a desktop but when I try to start the login window deal it says that gdm is not running. [04:31] melch: then is the box for eth1 ticked? [04:31] bullgard4: it has menu information in it that is used for synchronizing menus accross desktop enviromnents [04:31] harriseldon: firefox its using icedtea java. how to change it [04:31] So now I am lost. I would do a fresh install but that would wipe out all my file and I can't have that happen. [04:31] tj83: If you don't care about mime type associations (open this file with that app) you can clear out every single user change to your menu (which wine is) [04:31] ruiboon, for both are [04:31] it is just a test ,can i see what i type.. [04:32] tj83: To do that delete the ~/.config/menus, ~/.local/share/applications, and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories folders [04:32] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Have you tried typing $sudo gdm-setup in a terminal? [04:32] Starnestommy: 'desktop environments' refers to GNOME and KDE? [04:32] amaranth... lookin now [04:32] ruiboon, what should i do should i disable roming [04:32] bullgard4: and xfce plus most window managers [04:32] melch: i suppose that there is no dhcp server running on the local network? [04:33] ruiboon, what do u mean [04:33] Starnestommy: Thank you for explaining. [04:33] melch: try disabling roaming and give it a static ip address like 192.168.1.50 [04:33] darkcrab: you can by adding a few lines to your .profile .. I've pasted it at http://paste.ubuntu.com/16334/ [04:33] i wander where is the drivers, it used to be in the menu of 7.10, [04:34] melch: currently how is your internal network looks like? any router/switch between the internet-connected computer and the rest? [04:34] RICE: no, standbye let me try that. [04:34] ruiboon, what submask and gateway [04:34] woodie, hardware drivers is under System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [04:34] snake make sure the ice tea packages are not installed [04:34] melch: submask 255.255.255.0 leave gateway blank [04:34] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Alright. If it gives you the average gdm settings screen, switch back to a trusted theme and check the other theme's directory. [04:34] Okay, thatnks [04:35] I think someone else said something about that before, I couldn't find the site that said it. Wouldn't you know it. [04:35] Is anybody familiar with todiscgui? [04:35] ruiboon, that got it to get the firewall running [04:35] Would anyone know how to get an ATI radeon 7000 working in Kubuntu? [04:36] will gnome-keyring still ask me for my password though glitsj16 [04:36] ruiboon, the other computer did not get an ip [04:36] darkcrab: no [04:36] harriseldon: can you tell me what those packages are so i dont remove something that i may need [04:37] melch: for the other computer, configure its ip as 192.168.1.51, submask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.50 [04:37] Amaranth well done... thank you.. i didnt delete all of that... but i was able to find those broken links and delete then only.. many thanks just want i needed === robert__ is now known as drackmere [04:37] melch: see if you could ping 64.233.167.99 (thats google) [04:38] darkcrab: there's an additional setting you might need to activate to keep things from breaking, looking in to the menu option under ubuntu for exact phrasing because i'm on xubuntu and it might differ, brb [04:38] snake I do not have it installed, but the one I see is icedtea-gcjwebplugin. It looks like the icedtea packages start icedtea-java remove those [04:38] kk [04:38] [RICE] it tells me that command cannot be found. Mind you an I am Shell prompt from the recovery menu [04:39] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Ahmm... >< I don't know what else to try. [04:39] hello [04:39] no go [04:40] frelling weird. Maybe if I try running it from the desktop that startx brings up [04:40] janice8954 you can edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Look for the line that start GraphicalTheme and change it to something like Human. You will need to use sudo to edit this file. (in my file it is line 504, but it may be different for you) [04:40] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Yes, it would then. [04:40] <[RICE]> @janice8954, PROBABLY [04:40] do yall know of any computer security servers? [04:40] janice8954 I mean change just the them, keep the GraphicalTheme= part [04:40] harriseldon: ok done it ? so now everything should be ok ? [04:40] ruiboon, nothing [04:40] snake try it [04:41] melch: what about ping 192.168.1.50 (thats the internet connected computer) [04:41] Hello! Anyone know a good library of dictionary to use for open office? like word 2007, this is so that oppen office recognizes what i type like word???? Any ideas??? [04:41] I don't know. I tried something similar and it said that gdm was not running. [04:42] Hello, is there anybody who is familiar with todiscgui? [04:42] ruiboon, thats a local addy,, not inet [04:42] good ten it goes to ...51 [04:42] janice8954 you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop it from running [04:42] seanw: i mean that is the internal ip of the internet connected computer [04:42] janice8954 you can then use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start it back up [04:42] now when I run the startx a thing comes up saying "This session is running as as privileged user. [04:42] seanw: there is 2 nic involved [04:42] darkcrab: can you find the "Login Window" settings ? [04:43] * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!) === Rolanditu is now known as Rolanditu\Afk [04:43] <[RICE]> @janice8954, Just means you're running the x session with root privaleges.

[04:43] yes glitsj16 [04:43] how do you open a directory in the terminal [04:43] TheNerdGotchU: cd [04:43] darkcrab: if you open that, there's a tab called 'security' .. enable autologin from there and you should be fine === Myxamatosis is now known as jackson [04:44] Hello, is there anybody who is familiar with todiscgui? [04:44] harriseldon, I have no idea. I am rather new at all this. It was a huge accomplishment when I got my bcm4311 to work correctly lol [04:44] k cool glitsj16 [04:45] janice8954 that is ok. ctrl-alt-backspace will exit X and get you back to the terminal. Then you can check the prompt. [04:45] ruiboon, any ideas or should we call it anight [04:45] how do you go back a directory or up one directory [04:46] TheNerdGotchU: cd .. [04:46] help on thin-client connection please, i've get this from the daemon.log when the tc try to connect: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m216f904 [04:46] cd .. [04:46] TheNerdGotchU cd .. goes up one directory, cd - goes to the last directory [04:46] is there a command line command to change the name of a user? === jackson is now known as myxamatosis [04:46] anybody has idea what's wrong with it? [04:46] your commands aren't working from the terminal in X [04:46] melch: i guess that is what i know as of now. other may be able to help you better [04:46] query: what channel would be best for ppc ubuntu questions?

[04:47] Yes [04:48] ubuntu 8.04: where is Device Manager/Hardware Information? Googling says it's supposed to be in System>Preferences or Administration, but I can't find it. :( [04:48] janice8954 now you need to edit gdm.conf. You can use nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (the commands to save and exit are listed at the bottom) [04:48] janice8954 look for the line that says GraphicalTheme= and change it to GraphicalTheme=Human [04:49] Antivirus question, is an antivirus really necessary on ubuntu ? [04:49] !virus | PCcertified [04:49] PCcertified: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:50] pccertified: to confuse things, ubuntu also states this .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus ..; opnions differ ;) [04:50] does hardy comes with compiz?? [04:51] argh now I have to reboot [04:51] my eth0 is facing to the network for thin-client, should it be in static ip mode or roaming mode? [04:51] I think that command will work, I was loggin in from root. Do you think that's why the command wasn't working? [04:51] anyone familiar with audio (cooledit, audacity, audition): why re-saving a WAV in Audacity does not give me the same bit-identical WAV file as the original ? [04:52] janice8954 possibly. Did you enable root logins? Ubuntu blocks them by default. [04:52] Think there'll be a fix for PulseAudio soon? [04:52] I'm not sure. I actually think I did. [04:52] When I initially setup the loggin window. [04:52] This is really crazy lol. [04:52] does hardy comes with compiz??? [04:53] Hardy does come with compiz, but it depends on your graphics card [04:53] n-ice I have not seen that program on my machine, so I think that's a no [04:53] djzn: never experienced that with audacity (1.3.4 beta) .. have you checked your settings ? [04:53] glitsj16: I didn't touch the settings.... [04:54] pros9000, how do I remove it? [04:54] n-iCe is your system running too slow or something [04:54] glitsj16: but I am wondering... cooledit *is* saving a copy of the WAV that is identical to what it was opened. But not Audacity... I am missing something? [04:54] no, but i can't expand my menu bar on the top [04:54] Try system -> appearance -> effects -> none [04:54] djzn: can't tell, never used cooledit [04:54] I did, but that doesn't uninstall, right? [04:54] how to fix broken system that is booting to busybox ? [04:55] I don't want it on my system anymore, pros9000 [04:55] glitsj16: is there anything in audacity that writes wav metadata or stuff like that? [04:55] n-iCe you could go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the video driver to vesa [04:55] n-iCe uninstall will do nothing for you if it is not running. It will just free up some disk space [04:55] On Gutsy, I added ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable [04:55] a text file [04:55] djzn: yes i think so, that might be it .. it wouldn't hurt to re-check the settings i guess to make sure [04:55] That also disabled xgl [04:56] glitsj16: because that happens for the first time only, if I re-save again the "not identical" file, it will give a identical file to it === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [04:56] pros9000, that's other thing i don't have configurated nothing there [04:56] djzn: that sounds bizarre and at the same time defaulty .. better check to make sure [04:56] can someone tell me why I might get this message when trying to install an app with synaptic ? [04:56] Could not connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (129.97.134.71). - connect (111 Connection refused) [04:57] is the repo working? [04:57] djzn: btw, are you able to record in audacity using ALSA ? [04:57] when editing a file through the terminal as root, how do you rename a file, and delete a file? [04:57] PCcertified /etc/apt/sources.list [04:57] harriseldon:I am in that one deal, but I don't know what to do next. I feel rather stupid [04:57] pros9000, look, http://asdasdasd.pastebin.com/m69c6567e [04:57] PCcertified bad entry looks like [04:57] glitsj16: yes [04:58] is it safe to use this command on livecd sudo e2fsck -y -f -v /dev/hda2 to fix ext3-fs error and group description corupted error ?? [04:58] can someone tell me what the correct connection should look like? [04:58] djzn: just asking, i had a bit of a whirl getting it to work with the new pulseaudio stuff .. [04:58] n-iCe ok, have you done sudo apt-get install envyng? [04:58] no [04:59] Zaiden: mv command is for renaming [04:59] n-iCe what kind of video card do you have?

I know on Windows there's hacky ways to do it via MSSQL tools, but I have no idea how to approach this at all on linux. [05:20] emily_: are you using x64? [05:21] Alfarin__: You may want to try #mysql [05:21] Dasmoover: first you should onfigure your setup to handle it.. what video card do you have [05:21] 'lo.. I'm being a bit ambitious asking this here... but.. I need a way to merge _many_ [like 10-15] ssh tunnels into one proxy that I can use.... [05:21] Flannel> figures... heh... aite. [05:21] Flannel, I was trying to install a theme I found that Gnome look site. And it crashed the login screen The login screen doesn't start and there is no other way for me to login [05:21] I have already restore grub but cannot find ubuntu's image to boot HELP! [05:21] Can somebody aid me, I seemingly can't get the makexml script to work. [05:21] janice8954: ctrl-alt-f1, then you can login (it'll be all CLI, but its fixable) [05:21] legend2440: I don't think so...i'm on x86, but who knows what it installed. how would I check? I just can't get vmware working and i've been at it for two days and i'm really frustrated [05:21] i have installed ubuntu 8.04 sometimes some application gets like a dark shading, anybody knows what that is about? [05:22] hi i just installed xfonts-intl-japanese but how do i know what fonts (their names) i installed? thanks [05:22] also xfonts = xft fonts = bitmap fonts? [05:22] Stevethepirate: if you set up a SOCKS proxy you can use one tunnel/port [05:22] can anyone help? http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5519/pantallazoum9.png [05:22] jb0t: Looks all good, what does "sudo apt-get update" give you [05:23] jb0t: Any errors? [05:23] Flannel: no, it looks good [05:23] flannel, now it's not loading gdm [05:23] at all [05:23] cant boot into ubuntu after several hardware failures which are fixed now and are not HDD's, it reports EXT3-fs error and group description corrupted , then it fails to mount disk and reports target fs dont have /sbin/init and finish in busy box. any help is really appriciated... [05:23] astro76: Well, each ssh tunnel is a tunnel to a socks5 proxy I have.. but its speed limited... to 30k/sec.. I need around 300k/sec.. so i need some way to merge the tunnels.. [05:23] jb0t: Alright, pastebin... apt-cache policy mysql-common [05:23] janice8954: What? [05:23] Is there a command to setup gdm? [05:23] k [05:24] Dasmoover: the setup is slightly different depending on the vid card you have in your system, what video card do you have [05:24] that or he didnt properly configure compiz correctly [05:24] I did login using root prompt, but when I typed "gdm" to start it's giving me a bunch of error messages. [05:24] anyone? vmware? ubuntu-server? help? [05:24] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m662e5f53 [05:24] janice8954: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:24] astro76: Know what I'm saying? [05:24] whats the command for peering inside a package to inspect file contents? [05:25] wormwood: less? [05:25] janice8954: That's not a root prompt, just a CLI, and yes, it'd be normal for gdm to not work there. [05:25] wormwood: oh, a packages... [05:25] aye [05:25] Stevethepirate: yes, but no idea how to do it, I've never heard of such a configuration ;) [05:25] why isnt cp -p preserving the permissions? [05:25] can anyone help? http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5519/pantallazoum9.png [05:25] jb0t: Alright, now sudo apt-get install mysql-common [05:25] hi guys. i open the System Settings dialog to change the display resolution, but the "Apply" button is disabled. i assume it is because i need to start the system settings as an administrator, but i can't find how to do that. i am on Kununtu 8.04 KDE4. help please! [05:25] wormwood: like a .deb? or .tar? [05:25] oh screw it [05:26] flannel: you get paid to be here [05:26] astro76: Its like.. I want it to whenever it opens a new connection, for example to download something, to cycle through the tunnels.... Using the one with least load.. [05:26] SuN13: Nope [05:26] Flannel: same as before. not avail. referred to by another package. has no install candidate [05:26] Odd-rationale: right, like if I find a package via apt-cache and I want to inspect its file contents how would I do that [05:26] what is the boting path to boot into ubuntu from the grub selector? [05:27] flannel: thanks [05:27] Flannel, is that going to solve the login screen? [05:27] wormwood: you mean like apt-cache show ? [05:27] Flannel: possibly useful info. the initial install on edgy was amd64-server i believe [05:27] jb0t: Er... Except it just said it was available! Can you pastebin these commands all in one (just copy/paste the rest)? sudo apt-get update ; apt-cache policy mysql-common ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [05:27] janice8954: it should, yes. [05:27] sure [05:27] It's unable to fetch those things needed for install [05:27] Odd-rationale: yeah, but with the individual file listing [05:28] wormwood: idk then. sorry... :( [05:28] janice8954: What things did it need? I don't think you mentioned that to me. [05:28] Like, you know when it's trying to download the needed files to install a package. [05:28] Odd-rationale: np :) pkg_info -L 'blah' does that on FreeBSD was just wondering if Ubuntu had something similar [05:29] janice8954: Right, what are the errors? [05:29] janice8954: do you have any particular package names? [05:29] hi, i'm trying to set up an environment such that a process core dumps on a segmentation fault. I believe i need the "ulimit" command to do this, but i don't have it on my system, and don't know what package it's in. [05:29] Flannel: desktop? this is a server. no gui installed, or wanted [05:29] gcarrillo, ulimit is usually internal.. are you using bash? [05:29] jb0t: What? If I said anything about a GUI, I meant it for janice8954 [05:29] k [05:30] cn28h: let me double check [05:30] jb0t: Oh! [05:30] cn28h: yup, i am [05:30] jb0t: sorry. Stop, stop. No ubuntu-desktop, mysql-common [05:30] also you can set it by calling the ulimit() function - see man 3 ulimit [05:30] can someone help getting ubuntu to boot up properly ?it ends now on busybox [05:30] jb0t: Shoot. I really hope you didn't hit enter. If you did, not the end of the world. [05:30] gcarrillo, bash should have it built in [05:30] ah [05:31] what is the booting path to edit grub in order to load ubuntu? [05:31] haha [05:31] hold on [05:31] cn28h: you're right, sorry [05:31] gcarrillo, don't be sorry ;P [05:31] hmmm I have a booy up problem too :-( [05:31] Flannel: no. i figured you might have typed :) [05:31] typod [05:31] Dasmoover: you still here? [05:31] cn28h: i started by trying to pull up a manpage, and saw there was none...didn't even try to run it ;) my bad ;) [05:31] jb0t: whew. So, those three, but mysql-common instead of ubuntu-desktop. [05:31] Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54271/ (pastebin spam filter tripped? hmm) [05:32] Does anyone know if there are any current projects to create a Linux driver for the dell photo 926 printer? [05:32] is there a list of plugins for xchat anywhere on the web? [05:32] oops..missed on [05:32] gcarrillo, if it's in code that you are writing you can also use the ulimit() function [05:32] c"could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [05:32] err http:/us.archive.ubuntu.com' [05:32] failed to fetchy http://us.archiine.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fast-user-switch-applet/fast-user-sweitch-applet_2.22.0-0ubuntu2_i286.deb could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com' [05:32] falied to fetch (another long url) [05:32] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try --fix-missing?

[05:33] Flannel: take a look. lemme know if thats right [05:33] Flannel did that show up? [05:33] christoz: /boot/grub/menu.lst, i believe [05:33] janice8954: Use the pastebin [05:33] What's that? [05:33] !paste | janice8954 [05:33] janice8954: 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) [05:33] STOP dont do what i told you just yet [05:33] janice8954: open your repo list in synaptic and change the pulldown box to MAIN [05:34] Respond if you are still here [05:34] janice8954: Actually, I see the issue. And I think PCcertified does too. [05:34] janice8954: I was having the same trouble [05:34] anybody in here run ubuntu on a carputer? [05:34] jb0t: now sudo apt-get install mysql-common [05:34] it seems the server is not always reliable but main works [05:35] PCcertified: no, her problem is http:/us. as opposed to http://us. [05:35] how to force fschk from livecd so that it starts after reboot ? [05:35] PCcertified: hmm, maybe those are typos [05:35] Flannel [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16342/ [05:35] janice8954: thanks [05:35] xfce my keyboard shortcuts work fine unless I try to use anything invlovingthe super key, the marco sees it and records it as alt + l super or what ever, but they don't work on the desktop. I have gone to google, and found alot of idscussion but no answers that seem to work for me. [05:35] Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54272/ [05:36] i was thinking of building a small carputer for wardriving with a mini-itx board and wonder if there are any caveats to be aware of with jetways or vias...anyone got any input? [05:36] janice8954: Those are us.archive.ubuntu.com, right? [05:36] check out this link for editing the grub file [05:36] I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. I am not even able to get in the GUI [05:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/dualboot-custom.html [05:36] yes Flannel [05:36] gcarrillo this path is not valid anymore cause i ave install recently windows ....and after restoreing grub the path is not valid [05:37] jb0t: this is odd indeed. Oh, youre running as root. Try just "apt-get install mysql-common" [05:37] Flannel: mie was ca [05:37] christoz: ahh [05:37] Flannel: CA was mine cuz I'm in Canada. I just used the pulldown box and changed Canada to MAIN and it works now [05:37] Flannel: hah. yeah. same error. [05:37] janice8954: Alright, um, try `sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list` and then remove all the "us."'s from the beginning of the urls (http://archive.ubuntu.com) [05:38] Flannel: was literally pasting :) [05:38] PCcertified: she has no GUI [05:38] christoz: you can boot off a liveCD, and run whatever command installs grub into the MBR [05:38] I just solved the problem It's not able to acess the respos, because it has not Inet connection [05:38] that could restore it [05:38] repos rather [05:38] Hi, does any1 know how to setup a unichrome video card in hardy 64bit? I've got jmicron video card>>> ty [05:39] jb0t: So.... random. Since it claims it sees it right there! Which pastebin was your sources.list? do you have that handy still? [05:39] sure [05:39] jb0t: Oh, I found it, different bin. [05:39] can i use partition editor from livecd to fix broken ext3 ? [05:39] Can somebody help me? I'm trying to burn a DVD, but cannot create the structure. [05:39] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m1b5a19a3 [05:39] fyreofchaos, ubuntu? [05:39] i installed fusion-icon [05:39] Yes. [05:40] sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [05:40] * Kcaj[programming slaps galvinate around a bit with a large trout [05:40] hmmm, so I guess just remove ca. from the beginning of the repo's in /etc/apt/sources.list and it will use the main repo's [05:40] jb0t: you know what, lets try changing us.archive.ubuntu to just plain archive.ubuntu [05:40] Still hasn't really solved the problem. [05:40] my screen is so laggy, but when i select indirect renderinging, it works but my deskrop freezes [05:40] ok [05:40] now I just have no access to the repositories. is there a way to make it get it from the install CD? [05:40] I love you guys, and Ubuntu. I want a non-bias'd opinion though; what is the best distro to use with KDE as default (desktop, well, laptop actually)? I want decent server capabilities (sand-box for programming, development station) but lots of good desktop features. [05:40] "you can boot off a liveCD, and run whatever command installs grub into the MBR" what do you mean exactly to do gcarrillo ? [05:41] Kcaj[programming: #ubuntu-offtopic for that, thanks [05:41] I really want KDE instead of Gnome, just becase as I have seen recently, it looks much nicer. [05:41] Okay [05:41] !grub | christoz [05:41] christoz: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:41] christoz: First link [05:41] Flannel. Someone just gave me an idea. What if I run the Live CD and then run those commands there? [05:41] Will that work? [05:41] jb0t: After you've changed, apt-get update && apt-get install mysql-common [05:41] Hello! I am using Ubuntu8.04, how can install firefox2 and get rid of ff3b5? [05:41] Nope of course that won't work because it's mounted the hard drive [05:42] does the lilo boot=/bin/bash, mount -rw,remount trick work in ubuntu, she could reinstall grub that way [05:42] Azael, will this create a DVD viewable through a DVD player? [05:42] cyberbuff: remove the firefox 3 package and install the firefox 2 package [05:42] because it's not* [05:42] janice8954: LiveCD won't help, no. Do you not have internet on this box currently? [05:42] dvd or cd by tree or iso or audio === skillet_ is now known as skillet [05:42] cyberbuff: sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0 & sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [05:42] before i mess somthing badly , can i use livecd partition editor to fix ext3 error ? [05:42] christoz: boot off the liveCD and run "man -s8 grub-install" [05:42] when ubuntu boots it runs the totem movie player trying to stream radio caroline ... every time. Has anyone got ideas on how to fix that? ... sorry I'm new to Ubuntu ... you guessed lol [05:43] Flannel heres the problem I can't start the GUI because I can't login using GDM. So, I had to to go root prompt using recovery. [05:43] christoz: that program can restore the boot block [05:43] gcarrillo: That page explains how to do it, no need fo man pages. [05:43] and that's where I have been trying to run all these commands until you suggested the ctrl alt f1 [05:43] janice8954: type `init 2` then ctrl-alt-f1, then log in. GDM has nothing to do with logging into TTys [05:43] Flannel: i didn't see what you wrote [05:43] does installing the ubuntu-restricted-formats packages also install w32codecs? [05:43] now I am stuck in that prompt [05:44] I am logged in already. [05:44] janice8954: What do you mean stuck? [05:44] I just have gui [05:44] I mean, I don't have a gui [05:44] janice8954: So, you have internet now? [05:44] No [05:44] Flannel: i see it...cool link [05:44] fyre its is a front end so check if cdrecord is loaded. sudo apt-get install cdrecord will do fine for that [05:44] flaccid: is not a little too obvious? i wanted to know "how" [05:45] restarting x-server.. how do i do it? XD.. tryin to get my 2nd moniter back online [05:45] cyberbuff: goto a console and issue the command. thats how. [05:45] I am stuck here because you had me remove GDM [05:45] alt ctrl backspace to restart x [05:45] Already installed. [05:45] kewl [05:46] Flannel: http://dpaste.com/54274/ odd. [05:46] janice8954: I wasn't aware you had no internet at the time, as that does complicate things. Do you have an alternate CD by any chance? Or any way of getting internet? [05:46] So, I have an mpg version of what I was trying to burn already. [05:46] I'm getting this in my logs: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [05:46] flaccid: thanks :) [05:46] how do I fix that [05:46] Will burning that via. GnomeBaker work, with it playable through DVD players? [05:46] cyberbuff: wasnt that obvious :) [05:46] I don't have an alt CD> I have an alt CD for Kubuntu, but not for Ubuntu [05:46] and the only other means of internet is the machine I am right now. [05:47] actually, I have should have an alt CD for Xubuntu [05:47] should work, I burn discs at work with it all the time for customers to have manuals in pdf format [05:47] janice8954: Either one will work, actually. [05:47] Okay, so what do I do with that? [05:47] janice8954: Assuming they're for 8.04 like this one, (we're on 8.04. right?) [05:47] its a front end, it will set the disc up however you want it. audi/video data [05:48] JDStone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-6ce180906ddbc141ef4b213f82465515a8ad3031 [05:48] Yes Flannel [05:48] Azael: fyreofchaos13is trying to create the DVD file structure the vob and ifo files. gnomebaker only burns them after he has created them [05:48] janice8954: alright, if you have Xubuntu, we'd prefer to use that, but either will work. Which are we using? [05:48] Nod. [05:48] How can I structure them? [05:48] hardy [05:49] ah hah, thanks Flannel [05:49] janice8954: right, but Xubuntu or Kubuntu? (preferrably Xubuntu) [05:49] I tried with tovid's makexml, but apparently the command disappeared. [05:49] ok sorry. I saw a hot-to somewhere, but don't remember [05:49] Xubuntu [05:49] fyreofchaos13: the easist one i ever found to create dvd files is varsha [05:49] Crackers [05:49] jb0t: I'm so ... stupified. This makes no sense. [05:49] That's a Kubuntu [05:49] Flannel: yeah. i'm lost too. [05:49] anyone understand xfce? [05:49] Sorry Flannel. Only have a Kubuntu Alt [05:50] jb0t: download the package manually, dpkg it? [05:50] fyreofchaos13: it is a java app that works very well [05:50] Hrm... [05:50] janice8954: Alright, that'll work. Pop it in, `sudo apt-cdrom add` [05:50] when ubuntu boots it runs the totem movie player trying to stream radio caroline ... every time. Has anyone got ideas on how to stop it loading? [05:50] That won't work from the normal install? [05:50] which repo do i need to get the security updates for hardy heron? [05:50] janice8954: What? [05:51] help [05:51] heelllpp [05:51] me too lol [05:51] Linux sux, keeps giving me this error, http://impoll.net/cgi-bin/v.cgi?p=3647&r=1 , I'm going back to Vista! blows the crap out of linux [05:51] !ask | zalfa [05:51] zalfa: 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. :-) [05:51] fyreofchaos13: earlier you mentioned todiscgui. is that part of tovid? [05:51] Nod. [05:52] steve__: System->Preferences-> Sessions [05:52] fyreofchaos13: that didnt work? [05:52] flannel. what I was asking is this. That command wouldn't work from the normal install CD? [05:52] legend2440: It said it succeeded, but nothing was created, structured, or burned to the blank DVD. [05:53] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:53] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:53] janice8954: No, Desktop CDs don't have the repositories on them, they just have an image, we need the packages from the alt CD [05:53] how can i print using ubuntu ? [05:53] legend2440: So I began trying to run the commands by hand, and one of the commands aren't working. [05:53] Okay, I did what you said. now waht?

[05:56] fyreofchaos13: ok now i remember devede is good and its in synaptic [05:56] on a stock Ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit) LTS Machine, where is the OpenSSH server found? [05:56] neohaven: It isn't. You'd have to install it [05:57] hey can anyone here please help me get my windows key working agiain. I messed up something with my keyboard settings and now the key is not working, please help [05:57] Flannel: then why isn't it in the "add/remove" app? [05:57] rakib: where are you copying the text from, a console? [05:57] navetz, I;m here for same reason, no luck yet [05:57] fyreofchaos13: do you see devede in synaptic? [05:57] Yes, installed. [05:57] Azael: damn, I dunno what I did to mess it up. [05:57] Anybody know what would make printing just mysteriously break? [05:57] neohaven: No idea? Its not somethign normal desktop users want. You want the openssh-server package [05:57] I try to print to my printer... and it thinks it succeeds.... but doesn't do anything. [05:57] does anyone know how to edit what programs run at startup in Ubuntu? [05:58] !bum | steve__ [05:58] steve__: 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 [05:58] I got a new kybd w/ windows keys, I set the shortcuts but then they dont work [05:58] which desktop in ubuntu? [05:58] Flannel: a search for openssh, ssh, or sshd doesn't return anything except clients. [05:58] neohaven: Are you connected to the internet? [05:58] Azael: have you tried `xev` in a terminal? [05:58] yes, it finds clients. [05:58] legend2440: So this'll create the iso of the MPG, which I can burn to the DVD? [05:58] ok thx [05:58] server freenode.com [05:58] just type xev/? [05:58] eek [05:58] sorry [05:58] neohaven: Have you hit "update"? [05:59] Azael yea, then try some keys [05:59] hello [05:59] navetz the best advice I can give you is, when you are about to activate it, choose use phone and follow the directions [05:59] fyreofchaos13: ok that will create the dvd structure and the iso you can use to burn it to a dvd disc [05:59] I think i got something from install flannel [05:59] ok whats that doing? [05:59] neohaven: add/remove app only shows gui programs [05:59] fyreofchaos13: yes it will [05:59] Flannel: Update? in the Add/Remove app? [05:59] neohaven: no, in Synaptic [05:59] PCcertified: for my keyboard? [05:59] not sure what just yet, but I gots something.HEY EVERYTHING"S BACK! [05:59] neohaven: system > admin > synaptic package manager [05:59] neohaven: Add/Remvoe is just a tiny fraction of the stuff you can install [06:00] Gah. [06:00] janice8954: that's kdm, not gdm, but once you're back online you can switch back to gdm (and remove kdm) [06:00] It took out my internet though :) [06:00] Anyways. [06:00] nothing, jsut seing a bunch of VVV's in xterm window when I press volume key [06:00] now, can you run me through how to do that? [06:00] fyreofchaos13: do you see that create iso bin/cue option? [06:00] Flannel: then I probably will find openssh in Synaptic... but why have 2 distinct apps? [06:00] legend2440: Should I be using NTSC vid output? [06:00] janice8954: once you're connected to the itnernet, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gdm, then sudo apt-get remove kdm [06:00] neohaven: Because the server and the client are different [06:01] Felone: are you in usa? [06:01] Yes. [06:01] nothing, just V's [06:01] Felone: then yes ntsc [06:01] No one uses amule or emaul? [06:01] I am connected. [06:01] Okay, one moment [06:01] janice8954: Or, if you prefer synaptic, hit "update" then install gdm, then remove kdm [06:01] if I set up as u and down as d it works, but anything with a super key l or r doesn't work [06:01] Its set to Create ISO or BIN/CUE, as you said. [06:02] jb0t: you awake? [06:02] Flannel: not what I meant. What is the purpose of having 2 different apps managing packages? Both Synaptic and the Add/Remove one? [06:02] my vol up key is alt + super L for example [06:02] Flannel is there anyway to change my password/ [06:02] neohaven: Add/Remove is dumbed down, its simplfiied so if you don't know the name of something, you can find it (and it only shows the stuff most people find interesting), Synaptic is everything (not just apps, but libs, etc, etc) [06:02] janice8954: sure, users and groups can do it I think. If not, the "passwd" command [06:03] Flannel: Meh, I probably would have implemented a menu option with "Advanced..." or something, but ok, I get that. :) [06:03] Flannel, taking out gdm would have wiped away that stupid theme that screwed me up in the first place right? [06:03] neohaven: Add/remvoe is a custom app for Ubuntu, Synaptic is a stadnard one [06:03] legend2440: About how long should this take for a 10minute piece? [06:04] janice8954: yeah, just removing the config files ("complete removal" in synptic). And actually, once youinstall gdm, you should try it out before removing kdm [06:04] Flannel: ok :) [06:04] Felone: you already have mpeg file? [06:04] Flannel: yeah.. this wrong? http://dpaste.com/54275/ [06:04] Nod. [06:04] jb0t: /join #ubuntu-motu [06:04] Whatever happened knocked out my bcm4311 but that's easy to get going again. [06:05] Felone: making mpeg is the part that takes the longest. i guess maybe five minutes. its been a while since i've done any video encoding [06:06] Felone: it will put files and iso in your home directory [06:07] Nod. [06:07] Then just burn that to the DVD, and it should work? [06:07] kernel panic -not syncing attempt to kill init --- any help appriciated [06:07] Felone: yes [06:07] Thank you! :) [06:07] lol what am I doing here [06:07] Felone: your welcome [06:07] m11 is this a boot up problem?

Does anyone know how to get DVD playback on Kubuntu 6.06? [06:09] Felone: you have any dvdrw's you may want to try that first to see if it looks right. until you get used to devede [06:09] Azael: yes [06:09] Kubuntu 6.06?? UPDATE! [06:09] never happened before. then shut down machines, reeat memory and cpu and cards, blow it out and try again [06:09] dapper = old [06:09] reseat memory cards cpu etc [06:10] m_newton, I can't update because anything higher won't run on this old machine [06:10] Azael: u know somthing about that issue ? [06:10] I tried Hardy and it just doesn't want to intall. [06:10] why not? what is the problem, is it a driver issue? [06:10] janice8954: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html [06:10] kernel panics can be hardware, sometimes reseating things can clear it up. sure as hell can't hurt [06:10] how can i browse thru a windows mobile device using ubuntu? [06:10] m_newton, it's a ram issue [06:11] Azael: HW problem was fixed, then i had fschk repair from livecd and now i get kernel panic [06:11] oh well listen to then, if you want to update talk to me [06:11] legend2440: This is just to get a school project on a readable DVD.

[06:13] I am new at linux & i have a question about the radio thing ???? [06:13] Azael: cooler went broken and system didnt boot corectly several times [06:13] Worse.

[06:14] How can I remove a firefox plugin manually? Uninstall does not work. [06:14] Azael: system booted , then got frozen due to broken cooler on southbridge, cooler now replaced and system is stable, but errors are unbelivalbe [06:14] kernel panic could be hardware thars all I'm saying [06:14] I used tovid [06:14] It just comes back as soon as I relaunch firefox [06:14] Oh yeah, the printer shows as status being OK... and it claims to finish the jobs... but nothing comes out of the printer. [06:15] Azael: 100% not hardware related issue as it would freeze again if cooler wouldnt work :/ [06:15] Okay, Flannel. How do I switch back to gdm? [06:15] Hi, can somebody help me with an ide cdrom hooked up over usb? [06:15] The tovid script worked fine for me; it was the structuring script that failed out. [06:15] what other thinsg could have been stressed or damaged when cooler was out? [06:15] Felone: yes tovid is good but after i found devede i used that to encode and create dvd structure files. not sure if devede encodes wmv though . never tried [06:15] ok, it seems currently I have nvidia driver version 169.12, and for my card support from nvidia, i need to run 173.14.05, anyone know of a link for compiling and installing this driver? [06:15] I'll try it sometime. [06:15] janice8954: when you install GDM, it should ask which one you want to use [06:15] I did. [06:16] and I selected gdm. [06:16] janice8954: and it asked? Alright, log out [06:16] if its that bad, put in a diff hd drive and see if you can get system up, cut the problem in half [06:16] Felone: ok i got to go now .have fun [06:16] I see it mount as 'USB Drive' in the file browser [06:16] Thank you! :) [06:16] but I can't open it. [06:16] janice8954: and you should be at GDM (like usual) [06:16] G'night. [06:16] Azael: the M$ works [06:16] Flannel: it's that simple eh?

[06:17] I got the celestia package, and when I click on it, it says starting celestia, loads various things and then vanishes and never shows up. Why? [06:18] you do make routine backups right?

[07:14] DaveyJ: sudo aptitude install libflashsupport [07:14] bazhang_: yes [07:15] Why does firefox turn grey and stop working? [07:15] DaveyJ, then fd-e's suggestion should help at least that problem [07:15] can someone help me? compiz is making my desktop unresponsive [07:15] alright just installed that, will that get my now-defunct sound to work again without having to reboot?' [07:15] Dasmoover, we need lots more info than that [07:15] Watch out: libflashsupport is bad! [07:15] this actually freezes up amarok when the sound doesnt work [07:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/192888 [07:15] bazhang [07:15] Malone bug 192888 in libflashsupport "firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport" [High,Confirmed] [07:15] That's the key there.

[07:16] im using emerald --replace, no icons, and my backgrounsd will not change [07:16] ok [07:16] its like the sound module is constantly busy or something. if i tried to use xmms (before i reinstalled ubuntu), it'd say there was no sound driver available [07:16] hi, anybody here has exprience with pcsx? [07:16] yes that disabled compiz [07:16] DaveyJ, this is gutsy? [07:16] 8.04 [07:16] DaveyJ: check that bug link. [07:16] anyway to read powerpoints files in ubuntu? [07:16] xmms? [07:16] It also addresses the "no sound in flash" issue. [07:16] Anyone know how to attempt to get the nvidia 173.14 drivers installed in hardy? [07:17] even VLC doesnt have sound [07:17] musikgoat, the beta ones from nvidia site? [07:17] they are not beta [07:17] fde, check pm [07:17] bazhang_: any ideas or tips how to troubleshot/fix this kernel panic ? [07:17] are there any way to set functions for multimedia buttons on keyboards? [07:17] bazhang_: from what it looks like the prev release was [07:17] when i do what it says to do on the bug page the sound still works [07:18] m11, sounds like partition table/fstab issue [07:18] was the xmms answer to me/ [07:18] ? [07:18] DaveyJ: that's because flash has taken over evrything, follow DanaG's tip [07:18] Hint for long bug reports: going from bottom to top sometimes helps. [07:18] Tankado, sorry no :) [07:18] s/going/reading/ [07:18] alright i installed that libflashsupport [07:18] Tankado, open office [07:18] bazhang_: I'm trying to get support for GeForce 9800 GX2 [07:18] amarok is still seizing up though [07:18] fde pls check pm [07:18] bazhang_: after that busybox problem i went livecd and use partition editor to fix and after reboot i got kernel panic [07:18] DaveyJ, how many songs [07:19] like 5 [07:19] Any idea why sound only works in one program at a time? [07:19] libflashsupport is bad. flash 10 is not so bad. [07:19] DaveyJ, five total? [07:19] thanks [07:19] i dont keep any in the database.. i usually use a diff computer to play my music [07:19] bazhang_: after that fix in live cd i was able to access that partition but on reboot no luck [07:19] DaveyJ: take out libflashsupport, follow the advice here if the bug page is too long, part B http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [07:19] alright [07:19] m11 still busybox?

[07:20] poor bot [07:21] m11 this is dual boot or linux only [07:21] dual boot with 2 hdd's [07:21] So anyone on the sound thing? [07:21] Dasmoover: Don't PM me... if you think your hardware supports Compiz/AIGLX well, then turn it back on, it might be ok again now. [07:22] in the menu.lst, how do i make it boot from the second kernel? [07:22] I need to install Java SDK (think that's the correct edition if i want to use if for programming with Netbeans?) and noticed Sun Java is available via repos. Can i just install it via synaptic or will i have to do it in another way please?? [07:22] bazhang_: dual boot with 2 hdd's [07:22] MaskedOne: also experiencing trouble like DaveyJ (flash taking over eveything) ? [07:23] Dasmoover: Keep in mind, Nvidia drivers are closed source, so they might not be up to scratch on the latest Compiz, which could be giving you your issue. [07:23] no glits, for me it does not matter if it is flash or not, two programs (such as rythmbox and a game) cannot hear sound on em at the same time [07:23] or movie player/rythmbox or whatknot [07:24] glitsj16: It doesn't take over everything... it takes over /dev/snd/* from pulse... and Ubuntu no longer uses things like dmix, so flash needs to support pulse to play nice... [07:24] Anyone know how to attempt to get the nvidia 173.14 drivers installed in hardy? or seen any one elses explanations? [07:24] MaskedONe: okay, have you tried following these detailed instructions ? it works great, but can take half an hour to get it all hooked up .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [07:25] Hello form Utah...

[08:04] cr4ftyb0n35: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu610end-of-life [08:04] dangodango: do u know how? [08:04] shank1rb: about what? === m11 is now known as kernel-panic [08:05] cr4ftyb0n35: why? It received the standard 18 months of support [08:05] I either get "busybox" wich I don't know jack about, or I get a blank screen and flashing keyboard lights. [08:05] I'm currently using vista and wish to switch to ubuntu 8.04 [08:05] I'm glad I had XP ghosted before I started trying Ubuntu. [08:05] owen1: cuz fluxbox doesnt automount like gnome when u plug something in === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [08:05] shank1rb: dl a 8.04 cd and try it out? [08:05] shank1rb: have you created an ubuntu cd? === Oknytt is now known as chmod077 [08:05] uhh no [08:05] cr4ftyb0n35: the length of the support period was publically announced at the release of ubuntu 6.10. [08:06] do i have to creeate a cd, or can i mount it?> === kernel-panic is now known as m1r [08:06] Hewus: No I mean, its just weird that I didn't realize. We are sending some production stuff over and we've been testing it on 6.10 [08:06] shank1rb: if you have an iso already, you will have to burn it to disc. you cannot install ubuntu from within windows [08:06] dangodango: the same with awesome. take a look and fall in love - http://awesome.naquadah.org/ [08:06] cr4ftyb0n35: basically the support period of all the versions is known before they're released [08:07] Myrtti: True. I should have just read the damned thing more clearly. [08:07] hi, is there a way to turn ubuntu into an SME server [08:07] Can anyone help me get Ubuntu running on my system? I have it running flawlessly in VMware, but can't get jack on the real system. [08:07] dangodango: it's for people that want real speed and efficiency. [08:07] cr4ftyb0n35: Ah, ok. Well for future reference, standard support is 18 months, LTS is 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server :-) [08:07] cr4ftyb0n35: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 [08:07] cr4ftyb0n35: 6.06 is a LTS release, for that particular reason [08:07] cr4ftyb0n35: for future graphical reference :-P [08:08] dangodango: and no desktop. u can open many terminals in one screen and resize. [08:08] o, does installing linux ubuntu gets rid of the space that vista took? and if for some reason im not satisfied with ubuntu, can the vista restore cd still work with ubuntu installed? [08:08] owen1: yeah that's why i use fluxbox ;-) theyre all efficient use bsd then u only use 30mb lol [08:08] shank1rb: no worries. u'll never look back. [08:08] shank1rb: why not try it from live cd before changing anything ? [08:09] You'll never look back if it works anyway. :/ [08:09] shank1rb: if you're just testing out ubuntu, you might want to try wubi, in which case you probably don't need to burn it to disc. For a standard installation however, it will repartition your drive according to how you want. It will keep you informed :-) [08:09] owen1: thts cool [08:10] owen1: i have one load up on startup pinned to desktop using xterm [08:10] shank1rb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [08:10] dangodango: a well known ruby/python hacker is using it. Zed. [08:10] Myrtti: Some hardware we had wouldn't run with 6.06 [08:10] WUBI crashed my system. I had to format the entire HDD and do a fresh install. :/ Linux hasn't worked sence. [08:10] cr4ftyb0n35: :-< [08:10] It was working fine for like two days. [08:11] hey Flannel the problem is solved(at last!) what should i do in order to have the windows mounted all the time ..meaning to be mounted every time u\buntu starts (automatically)? [08:11] Honestly I blame Windows for not liking Linux. <.< [08:11] what's a live cd? and what does repartitioning the disk to the drive, is there a way to re-repartion the disk? Sorry but im not that computer techy, but i can do follow steps good. [08:11] on a different note. I like Gnome, but I also like KDE's customization levels. But KDE's look just doesn't float my boat. Anyone here got suggestions on what I can do with my life therefore? :) [08:11] whateversam: if it was actually working for some time then it doesn't sound like it was a wubi issue.. [08:11] dangodango: r u talking about flux? [08:11] Hey can someone remind me what the command in terminal is to find out what my partitions names are under Gparted? [08:12] owen1: yeah if you mean about the xterm thing [08:12] Hewus: Yes, that's why I blame Windows. But the think that's pissing me off is that fact that Ubuntu hasn't worked at all after the crash. [08:12] Sonic132: ls /dev/" may help ;) [08:12] shank1rb: a live cd is where you boot directly from the cd and it doesn't use your hard drive. It's good for seeing how ubuntu looks before you commit to anything (although it can be a bit slow running off the cd) [08:12] hey Flannel the problem is solved(at last!) what should i do in order to have the windows mounted all the time ..meaning to be mounted every time u\buntu starts (automatically)? [08:13] whateversam: have you tried a standard ubuntu install on a separate partition? [08:13] I've had Ubuntu on this sytem before, and I utterly loved it. Now I'm doing my damnest to get Windows off for good, but can't do shit. [08:13] christoz: stick the mount into /etc/fstab [08:13] bazhang_: can i PM you ? [08:13] Darlock_Williams: Well that comes up with tons of entries. I need to narrow it down to only my partitions. [08:13] Hewus: Actually, I gave Ubuntu the entire drive after ghosting Windows. [08:14] KDE vs Gnome vs alternative: Can't make up my mind. Gnome looks nice, lacks customization; KDE is customizable, but defaults look ugly and plump; Flux is nice but light etc. [08:14] Hi [08:14] shank1rb: repartitioning can be undone if you change your mind. The partitioner in ubuntu can shrink and grow existing partitions just fine. [08:14] Sonic132: Your hard drives are either hd* or sd* === mindvirus is now known as MindVirus [08:14] Hewus: The guided partion did everything from formatting to setting up the main linux partions needed to run. [08:14] Ok maybe giving you my entire problem might help. I'm trying to reinstall a version of Windows to dual boot. But I need to reformat a partition as NTFS. But I don't know which one is the one that is safe to reformat without data loss. [08:14] Hewus: i have a 220 GB HDD and i dunno the amount that vista has occupied. Will installing Ubuntu overwrite the vista part? Or Will it create another Drive? [08:15] I can use Ubuntu RIGHT NOW, but ONLY from Live CD or VMware. Which is driving me crazy! [08:15] How can I open a video with mplayer and not with firefox? what file Have I to choice when tells me open with? [08:15] Darlock_Williams: Well hda sda is not under ls /dev/ [08:16] Sonic132: Then you've got a bigger problem. [08:16] m1r, what's up? best to ask in channel so the much smarter people can comment :) [08:16] shank1rb: vista probably has the whole thing atm. If you install ubuntu, it will shrink that partition and create a new one for ubuntu. The guided installer will let you select the amount of space you wish to use for each. You can also partition manually if you like (as I do). [08:16] shank1rb: You should create a partions for Ubuntu with the partition editor included with the Ubuntu disk. [08:16] gidna: do you mean bypassing the firefox plugin ? [08:16] whateversam: can you just install ubuntu on a second partition? [08:17] I can't open the file with firefox 3 and I would open it with another programm [08:17] bazhang_: yes, sure, i am trying still to figure out this busybox , can i try mount sdb1 on it and then try to boot system somehow ? [08:17] Darlock_Wiliams: Shouldn't I use 'ls /hda/' or something? I thought /dev/ was something else. [08:17] Hewus: I don't know I haven't tried. I don't think it would solve anything. I mean I formatted the entire 80gig HDD just for Ubuntu. [08:18] Sonic132: /dev/ hosts all of the devices on your system (hard drives, modems, video cards, etc)... basically any DEVice attached to your computer. [08:18] gidna: open your file manager, right-click and choose "Open with other application" and point it to mplayer [08:18] Darlock_Williams: Oh and I was wrong. There are sda 1 through sda 4 listed in there. [08:18] yes but How can I point it to mplayer? [08:18] whateversam: I'm confused.. You have ubuntu on the drive already? Why can you only use it in a VM then? Did you just remove Windows? (hooray if you did :P) [08:18] The research I've done tells me that it's a driver missmatch and the kernel can't load to the GUI. (I think) So, busybox pops up expecting me to know how to fix it. :/ [08:18] Sonic132: Okay... that means you have one SATA hard drive with 4 partitions on it. [08:18] Sonic132: Correct? [08:18] Doesn't appear in the list mplayer [08:18] hi [08:19] owen1: well have a good day im leaving now [08:19] why doesn't the cdt appear in eclipse? [08:19] Sonic132: By the way, there's no need to type out my complete name... just type the first few letters and hit [TAB]... the rest will be completed for you :) [08:19] bazhang_: if i go boot with root=UUID or root=/dev/sdb1 i get kernel panic , if i set it wrong path it drops me into busybox [08:19] Hewus/ Sonic132 : I have the following specs, which installer do i download? |Processor:AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile technology tl-60, 2 ghz| |System Type: 32-bit OS| [08:19] lol. Yes, I remvoed Windows, but I kept an Acronis image of it just in case. So, when I couldn't get Ubuntu to work (after three days of trying) I restored the image of Windows which I'm using right now. [08:19] Darlock_Williams: I believe so. But how do I find out which one is the one for /, /home, and Linux Swap. So that I can tell them apart from my extra ext3 partition? [08:20] Darlock_Williams: For some reason that auto-fill in thing isn't working. I've used it before. [08:20] Hewus: VMware is on the Windows install (as well as the backup image). [08:20] gidna: mplayer is installed ? if so, open the bottom option "use custom command" and type mplayer in the box [08:20] m1r, what about sudo blkid what does that return [08:20] whateversam: what is the system config? [08:20] shank1rb: Use the i686 or 32-bit version. [08:20] hi [08:20] Sonic132: When you start up GParted (System>Administration>Partition Editor), it will list all your partitions. Just look at the different filesystems and partition sizes to determine what you're looking for. [08:20] Hewus: basically it took 20 min to restore Windows XP from a blank HDD to having VMware and IRC. [08:20] bazhang_: where to put that?into busybox ? [08:20] shank1rb: the standard desktop version is fine, and you can choose either 32 or 64-bit [08:20] sarmisak: Do you mean the CPU RAM and Video card? [08:21] whateversam: yes [08:21] poll - what terminal are u using and why? [08:21] m1r, you in the livecd now? try in terminal if so [08:21] Darlock_Williams: Well the partion I'm looking for is 4.6GB of free space on it currently. But none of the partitions listed in Gparted match that. [08:21] bazhang_: no, but i can load livecd in few minutes [08:21] cant load higher resolutions on nvidia 5200 [08:21] Sonic132: Then it doesn't exist. [08:21] from where Have I to open the custom buttom? [08:21] sarmisak: CUP: AMD athlon x64 3200, RAM: 2gig DDR. Vid: ATI Radeon x800. 256MB DDR. [08:22] I want to move an existing user's home directory to another one. How would I do this? [08:22] Darlock_Williams: Well I have it open in Nautilus right now and just used it for Virtualbox storage until now. [08:22] shank1rb: it doesn't matter too much, but if you're unsure, I would choose the 64-bit version :-) [08:22] gidna: from within your file manager, nautilus is the default on hardy 8.04 [08:22] Darlock: So it'd better exist. [08:22] whateversam: are you using it with an lcd? [08:22] Does anyone know? [08:22] bazhang_: loading livecd [08:22] Sonic132: Keep in mind that GParted can not edit partitions that are currently mounted. [08:22] whateversam: specifically connected through DVI? [08:22] sarmisak: nah, I'm stuck with CRT or S-video. I do have a DVI converter for my CRT though. [08:22] Darlock: Well it would still show mounted partitions. It has before. [08:23] Sonic132: Yes, it would still list it. [08:23] whateversam: the thing is the ati drivers are no good in some setups [08:23] Darlock: Also, I could just unmount it. I don't have anything system critical on it. [08:23] I don't find it [08:23] Darlock: I would still have to find it though. [08:23] whateversam: it can create the problems that you specified [08:23] Sonic132: Also keep in mind that drive sizes are pretty weird for me. One OS will report a 5gb drive, while another will say it is 4600000MB ;) [08:23] sarmisak: Yeah, that's what my research has told me. I don't know how to fix it though. I don't know the first thing about busybox. [08:23] With composite, and fglrx, i don't get any video playback, what am i doing wrong? [08:24] whateversam: *if* you really want to use linux, I'd recommend changing the video card to nvidia [08:24] how can I find out who is connected to my computer? [08:24] gidna: are you using ubuntu 8.04 ? [08:24] I want to move an existing user's home directory to another one. How would I do this? [08:24] whateversam: that would solve a lot of problems [08:24] "who" doesn't seem to work [08:24] yes I am [08:24] Darlock_Williams: Can we talk in private since your not helping anyone else at the moment? [08:24] sarmisak: don't tell me that. ; ; This is a $300 video card! [08:24] whateversam: oops :D [08:24] MindVirus: Move the directory and then use System > Administration > Users and Groups to change the home directory [08:24] when I disconnect the network, then processor usage falls to 1-2%, when I connect back, it's 100% [08:25] whateversam: I'm really sorry for the cost, but then it might be a good idea to use a second hand pc for your linux adventures ;) [08:25] sarmisak: I switched to ATI because nVidia would always fail after too many driver updates. It's a native flaw in their drivers and firmware that they have never fixed. [08:25] gidna: okay, start nautilus and if you have that open, report back [08:25] X11 forwarding via SSH appears to be extremely slow hardy.... does anyone know a solution? [08:25] Hewus: i have a 7200 go nvidia card, can it support the OS ? [08:26] whateversam: I know, i have the same problem with my hardware also, so I just went and bought a ~50$ card just for my linux desktop that i use at work [08:26] sarmisak: nah, I want Ubuntu for my gaming OS. :p I'm just sick and tired of the international-ticking-time-bomb known as Windows. [08:26] whateversam: Who told you that? I've updated drivers for one of my cards several times without an issue. But that being said, ATI will still work in Linux, just not at full capacity most often. [08:26] Hewus: i personally think the video card sucks.. [08:27] whateversam: are you trying to install amd64 version? [08:27] bazhang_: http://pastebin.com/m555b6b13 [08:27] Darlok_Williams: I told myself. lol. I've owned a number of nVidia cards and all dided the same way. I did the research and came to that conclustion. [08:27] sarmisak: I've tried both amd64 and 32bit Ubuntu as well as the miniISO that d/ls the install on the fly. [08:27] Darlock_Williams: Wouldn't the partition I'm looking for. Be the only partion that doesn't have the keys icon on it? [08:28] gidna: anything ? [08:28] hi how can i uninstall all the flash add-ins?? [08:28] has anyone tried the dell inspiron 1525 laptop with ubuntu ? [08:28] /cl [08:28] Darlock_Williams: But the only partitions without keys(icon) is the Unallocated space. [08:28] is it possible to mount an ISO to a virtual drive? if so, how would i do that in hardy 8.04? [08:29] hi you people [08:29] KRaZy_WaKa: You can with VirtualBox. [08:29] Since I updated to hardy I can't use netbeans through a X11/ssh tunnel anymore. The windows are just gray and stay like that. [08:29] /tmp/02.wmv could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. why firefox tells me this? [08:29] Good day, people. [08:29] Sonic132: I could be wrong, but I believe the partitions with the key icon are 'locked'... that is, mounted and unable to be edited. [08:29] Try saving to disk first and then opening the file. [08:29] Does anybody here know what I'm referring to when I use the phrase "AMD PIC"? [08:30] who can help on lenovo notbooks and ubuntu? [08:30] sarmisak: Do you, or anyone else for this matter, know how I can update ATI drivers via busybox? [08:30] hi people,would any body know how to mount local Hard disk to LTSP client in Ubuntu? [08:30] KRaZy_WaKa, try sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt [08:30] Darlock_Williams: Figured as much. So how do I find out what partition is the one that I used for virtualbox and is therefore safe to format? [08:30] helooo [08:30] Darlock_Williams: I sure wish you could name your partitions like in Windows. [08:30] whateversam: can you finish the installation and boot from it? [08:30] Sonic132: I'm confused... how did you setup a partition for VirtualBox? [08:30] virtualbox is prob one of the greatest things ever [08:30] Sonic132: i'm being lazy and dont wanna waste a cd-r for a small iso lol, and thanx [08:31] woozzy: open Synaptic, search for flash, mark any installed items you want for complete removal and apply changes [08:31] Sonic132: Did you set it up through using VBox? [08:31] sarmisak: Yes I can. The boot never gets to the GUI though. It stops at the failsafe command promt called busybox. [08:31] "anyone": what program do i use to burn the ubuntu installion cd ? [08:31] You have to setup a Virtual Hard Disk first. [08:31] Darlock_Williams: I set it up with Gparted. Then put all of the VDIs and whatnot on there. [08:31] shank: brasero [08:31] who can help on lenovo notbooks and ubuntu? [08:31] whateversam: you are stuck in cd then? no hdd install [08:31] Wait, wait, use UltraISO [08:31] If you're using Windows [08:31] i have a problem with the screen resolution! [08:31] KrRaZy_WaKa: No problem. The Gutsy one works fine for Hardy btw. [08:32] or InfraRecorder [08:32] sarmisak: It's the HDD install that gives me busybox. Only way to get to the GUI OS is the live CD. [08:32] schuckes: what is the problem? Is it with the installation? [08:32] can i get litle help please? [08:32] shank1rb: It should run just fine. I'm running a 7600GT, and I also have a computer running a geforce 3 Ti200 :P [08:32] no manyou [08:32] lets go private [08:32] sarmisak: something like "BusyBox v1.1.3(Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Built-inshell(ash) [08:32] enter 'help' for a list of built in commands. [08:33] i just reinstalled Hardy on a new hard drive and ran APTonCD on the old hard drive so i dont have to download everything again [08:33] hmm, it's strange, you shouldn't have busybox after install [08:33] can never remember what all i ahd installed lol [08:33] shank1rb: as for a burning program, do you have nero or something already that came with your burner? [08:33] neah...noone helps me here :( [08:33] *had [08:33] whateversam: have you tried installing from an "alternate cd" [08:33] @android How may I help? [08:33] I shouldn't have back problems at my age either, but I do. lol [08:33] Darlock_Williams: Did you get my last message? [08:34] i have problem with my screen resolution [08:34] Hewus: nope, i got recommended brasero but i have no clue how to use it.. im that their site right now but i have no idea lol... [08:34] andr0id: I would have to guess with that limited information. That your video card drivers are at fault. [08:34] sarmisak: Yes, I think I have. It was a minicd which did a live d/l of the install packages as the OS was being installed. Same problem. [08:34] shank1rb: brasero is an ubuntu program, it's not for windows [08:34] when i install ubuntu, max res goes only up to 1024x768 [08:34] hi [08:34] That's something I face too. [08:34] is there a way to password protect a virtual terminal? I have kde set to lock the screen on screensaver, but my vt1 has rtorrent running in it so the password prompt is futile... [08:34] shank1rb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto [08:35] whateversam: I'm sorry then, I cannot find a solution for you except the card change ;) [08:35] andr0id: It's probably your video card driver then. Ubuntu comes with a default generic one. [08:35] Mine supports upto 1280x800, but doesn't go above 800x600 [08:35] Sonic132: VirtualBox is in the add/remove list? [08:35] sarmisak: What confuses me most is that the live CD works flawlessly. [08:35] sarmisak: Well, thanks for trying. [08:35] KRaZy_WaKa: Not for me. I removed it from Synaptic and all the packages with the name in it. [08:35] i understand that, but, i edited xorg.conf to fit my max screen res, but on boot, it just keeps sending me back to login screen [08:36] !fixres | andr0id [08:36] andr0id: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [08:36] q. i would like to change the desktop shortcut. the one to switch the virtual desktop in particular. where should i look ?3 [08:37] KRaZy_WaKa: But yes. You should be able to goto the webiste and get it. Or do 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox. But you might have to put the repos in there for it. The vbox site should have the answers for that. [08:37] sarmisak: maybe you could reffer me to a man on busybox or 'anything' that 'might' point me in the right direction? (yes, I'm desprate) [08:37] andr0id: Sounds like you should recover your backup of your xorg. Cause you screwed something up. [08:38] So anyone help me with my Dual booting Windows/Ubuntu endeavours? [08:38] I think anrd0id needs a GUI setup interface. [08:39] Sure, I've done it before Sonic132 [08:39] What's the trouble? [08:39] Where can I find dowkd.db ? my dowkd.pl script won't run without it, and I can't find it anywhere [08:39] morning all. [08:39] manyou: I have a partition I want to reformat for NTFS so I can install Windows Vista on it. But I can't see to find it in Gparted. I know it's there as I am looking at it right now in the File Browser. [08:39] *seem [08:40] Sonic123: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600476 [08:40] whateversam: if you're desperate, a solution might be to simply try a gutsy installation, or to wait for hardy 8.04.1 in about a months time [08:41] manyou: You know what. I may have solved it. [08:41] manyou: It's under /media/disk [08:41] hey guys I have 5 hard drives in my PC: one with ubuntu installed and 4 old freebsd gpt drives. The one that debian is installed on shows up as /dev/sde (with partitions /dev/sde#) as well as /dev/sg0, but the rest show up only as /dev/sg#. fdisk says it doesn't support gpt and to use GNU parted. GNU parted says the device has zero length and can't possible store a filesystem/partition table. What do I need to do to these drives to get them formatted? [08:41] Sonic123: Synaptic manager to download/install NTFSprog, restart Gparted and it will resize and formated NTFS with zero problems. [08:41] NTFSprogs* [08:41] That should do it. [08:41] do i have to download anythign else prior to installing, ubuntu? [08:42] Pulled from the link I sent you. [08:42] buckhill: Wouldn't I have to boot my LiveCD? [08:42] q. i would like to change the desktop shortcut. the one to switch the virtual desktop in particular. where should i look ?3 [08:42] @Sonic132 your trouble was your NTFS partitons weren't showing up in Linux? [08:42] whateversam: busybox is not a full size command shell, you might just apt-get update and apt-get upgrade [08:42] Sonic132: here are some links for dual-booting http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu, http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2622/how-to_dual-boot_ubuntu [08:42] Sonic123: aparently with NTFSprogs, no [08:42] Hewus: Mind giving a short description of gusty. I've seen it mentioned on many sites, but haven't a clue. Biggest question on my mind...will it run Wine? Can't leave Windows if I can't game. :/ [08:42] whateversam: which might get you somewhere ;) [08:42] manyou: No. I need to convert my ext3. It's extra. To NTFS so I can reformat it with Vista. [08:43] whateversam: and you might try to install the ati drivers from there; apt-get install ati-fglrx-new [08:43] Sonic123: Please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600476 it explains what you want to do in detail. [08:43] Sonic132: the neosmart page is specific for Vista and Ubuntu dual-booting [08:43] Actually, there's a nice NTFS partitions "switcher" under Ubuntu you can find under Add/Remove [08:43] I forgot what it was called but it came in handy. [08:43] buckhill: Ok. I got that page open. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:43] whateversam: Gutsy is the previous release of ubuntu, released in October last year. Hardy is the latest release from last April. It will run wine just fine :-) [08:43] Ok thanks KRaZy_WaKa [08:43] Sonic123: Goto the post by hornetcoach [08:43] i <3 kernel panic [08:44] hello [08:44] Hewus: searching for torrent. :p [08:44] Ubuntu is completely crap. Ubuntu suck. I love Ubuntu. [08:44] whateversam: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ === buckhill is now known as buckhill`work [08:44] sarmisak: I think I'll try that. Still researching this crappy problem though. Finding that ppl do have a lot of issues with OpenGL ATI and Linux. [08:45] whateversam: ATI and Nvidia released non-free drivers, works a treat. [08:45] whateversam: no guarantees it will work since it's essentially a downgrade, but some people have had problems with Hardy that weren't in Gutsy, so it's worth a try :-) [08:45] bazhang_: are u here ? [08:45] Sonic132: not a problem, i dont think virtualbox is quite what i'm looking for though... i just need to mount an iso file to a virtual CDROM drive, so i dont have to waste a cd [08:45] whateversam: I play 99% of games on Ubuntu that I did on Windows, only exception is DX10 only games. [08:45] Where can I find dowkd.db ? my dowkd.pl script won't run without it, and I can't find it anywhere [08:45] buckhill`work: non-free? I'm not paying those jerks more money! [08:46] KRaZy_WaKa: Well then you probably don't want Vbox then. [08:46] whateversam: No... non free as in, you can't use it unless you agree to their licence. It's free to use. [08:46] KRaZy_WaKa: mount it [08:46] whateversam: free as in free speech, not as in free beer :P [08:46] buckhill`work: oic. Hmm. [08:46] m1r that will open the iso as if i burnt it to a cd and popped it in my physical cd drive? [08:47] whateversam: You agree to their licence in Windows anyway... it's just so ATI don't steal nvidias ideas.. and vice versa... really... just to protect themselves. [08:47] KRaZy_WaKa: Yeah m1r is right. You should be able to 'mount whatever' it. [08:47] KRaZy_WaKa: man mount [08:47] what does RHEL and SLES stand for? [08:47] ok im off back to work, cya later everyone. [08:47] kewl thanx both of you [08:47] buckhill`work: See you and thanks. [08:47] buckhill`work: Yeah, I understand. I'll agree to a lot of things just to get this to work. lool [08:47] vinay: red hat enterprise linux [08:47] later buckhill`work [08:47] hello [08:47] k. and sles? [08:48] KRaZy_WaKa: you can use gmountiso as a nice GUI to do iso mounting [08:48] how can I simply clear all information off a hard drive? it's formatted with gpt and if I try to partition it with parted parted just crashes (and fdisk won't even try) [08:48] can anyone help me with frostwire? here is the error: OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy [08:48] You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com [08:48] ooooooh even better lol [08:48] KRaZy_WaKa: mount is your friend [08:48] damn windoze making me a GUI junkie [08:48] KRaZy_WaKa: mount/umount do the trick without gui [08:49] Damnit. NTFSprogs made it so that Gparted wont even load now. WTF? [08:49] so mount and then the file path? [08:49] @Sonic132 what happened? [08:49] hi [08:49] wht does sles stand for? [08:49] hold on let me man mount first [08:49] KRaZy_WaKa: mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/myiso [08:50] i can read lol [08:50] manyou: I installed NTFSprogs. Closed Gparted. Tried to reopen it and it doesn't open. [08:50] Sonic132 you could try creating a liveusb for gparted so that you can do all your partition work. [08:50] vinay: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that question, thanks [08:50] thanx for the help though [08:50] manyou: liveusb? wtf? [08:50] WHERE ARE ALL THE CRACKYS? [08:51] anyone want to buy some kernel panic, i sell for half price then best usual bidder on ebay ? [08:51] Yes, if you have a USB key, you can load it up with a bootable version of gparted that loads up when you boot your system. [08:51] With a GUI and everything, so that you can partition without having to worry about mounting and unmounting filesystems. [08:51] manyou: So I'd be able to install Vista onto a nonworking partition with that how exactly? [08:51] KRaZy_WaKa: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 whatever.iso /mount/point [08:51] manyou: Oh I think I see. [08:52] KRaZy_WaKa: that's what you're after if you want the command [08:52] manyou: How hard is that to set up? [08:52] Not very. [08:52] It's a two step process: [08:52] Hewus: Can Ubuntu catch common colds? [08:52] can anyone help me? heres the error:OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy [08:52] You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com [08:52] Hewus: thanx [08:53] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php [08:53] !java | oops [08:53] oops: 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 [08:53] shank1rb: Ubuntu is immune from catching colds from those pesky windows machines :P [08:53] Download the Gparted live usb image. [08:53] hey guys, what are the main reasons of slow response time of the terminal opening? [08:53] Make your usb key bootable using syslinux [08:53] thanks Flannel [08:53] And load up the image on the key [08:54] manyou: What's syslinux? [08:54] Hewus: nice, does ubuntu auto-update it self? [08:54] Next, boot off the key. [08:54] did anyone watch any hacking movies recently? [08:54] shank1rb: Yes it does. [08:54] or any websites? [08:54] awesome [08:54] shank1rb: it will notify you when updates are available, and it's just point and click to install them [08:54] Syslinux is a nice program that writes to your device's boot sector and makes it bootable from the BIOS level [08:54] im burning the disk right now, very excited. :) [08:54] vinay: thats offtopic here [08:54] k [08:55] manyou: And this isn't complicated or hard how? [08:55] shank1rb: You can tell it to autoinstall security updates .. by default it will only tell you and you decide when/if to install them [08:55] manyou: I don't even know if I have syslinux. [08:55] mlr: could u suggest any channel for that?? [08:55] pleasssssssssssssse [08:55] vinay: no [08:55] No, no, Syslinux is a small 2 MB utlity for windows/linux and plenty of other platforms. [08:55] why? [08:55] All you have to do is download syslinux. [08:56] vinay: offtopic here [08:56] for it to expose like features, do i have install somethings? [08:56] vinay: try #ubuntu-offtopic [08:56] manyou: Ok So I got the first program. Going to download syslinux next.

[08:57] i've 8.04 is too buggy? [08:57] is it true? [08:57] vinay: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here [08:58] @Vinay 8.04 is pretty stable so far. [08:58] Flannel: poor guy :) [08:58] Flannel: the buggyness of the distro is fully on topic [08:58] read 1st comment from http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 [08:58] zorglu_: No, this is a channel for support, not discussions about Ubuntu [08:58] Can anyone explain how should i efficiently partition my drive? I have 2 drives right now, [D]= HP Recovery 1.86 GB free of 12GB, [C]= Local Drive 137GB free of 220GB [08:58] how can i install the kernel source? [08:58] Flannel: well you seem to believe that support is unrelated to buggyness :) lets say you quite alone to think so [08:58] !kernel | andr0id [08:58] andr0id: 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 [08:59] quantumelixir: just type /ns register you_password [08:59] Flannel [08:59] can i pvt you / [08:59] to explain to you better [08:59] andr0id: Just ask in the channel [08:59] shanklrb, use GParted [08:59] quantumelixir: you don't have to type /msg nickserv etc... [08:59] I remember seeing somewhere that the Ubuntu teams wants feedback esp feedback on failed installs. Anyone know where that feedback can be sent to? (I'm on Windows right now, btw) [08:59] but its too long...it will kick me for flood :S [09:00] Hi all. [09:00] andr0id: Use pastebin if its that long [09:00] andr0id: pastebin.com [09:00] vinay: what is gparted? [09:00] I have no clue what to do. [09:00] andr0id: use pastebin [09:00] I just moved my user account's home directory using usermod and now none of my settings are the same.

[09:01] hi ppl. i get an error when updateing my Nvidia drivers.. something about a file missing.. is there a way i can just force it to update? [09:01] ok, i just want to ask, to install S3 UNICROME driver, i need to check if my kernel source is set up to support module loading firstly. [09:01] mindvirus: move it back :D [09:01] mindvirus: Oh, sorry. I mixed you up with someone else. [09:01] I need the directory to be moved though.

[09:02] i just want to ask, to install S3 UNICROME driver, i need to check if my kernel source is set up to support module loading firstly. [09:02] Umm, big question! Should i delete everything i have and then only install ubuntu? (everything means, things like games, files, songs, videos, etc) [09:02] mindvirus: can you move the files back to your home dir? [09:02] mindvirus: copy all data to your new directory? [09:02] It's all copied. [09:02] how to unmount ipod from terminal? [09:02] Here's the thing. [09:02] I changed my home directory using usermod. [09:02] Then I manually copied the files into the new directory. [09:03] Because -m wouldn't work. [09:03] I chmodded all the files. [09:03] *chowned [09:03] mindvirus: where is your new directory? [09:03] /home/mindvirus [09:03] mindvirus: did you copy / are you aware of the files/folders starting with . ? === sean is now known as Guest59000 [09:03] Hewus, I used cp -R. [09:03] And yes. [09:04] mindvirus: did you do this from a terminal in X? [09:04] why i change my resolution to 1028? [09:04] anyone: Big question! Should i delete everything i have and then only install ubuntu? (everything means, things like games, files, songs, videos, etc) *sorry for repeating the question* [09:04] mindvirus: where are the .* files now? are they in your new home? [09:04] sarmisak, yes. === naquad is now known as tetraedr [09:04] HendriXXX, yes. [09:04] Eep. [09:04] Hewus, yes. [09:04] mindvirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:04] mindvirus: did you logout and login? [09:04] hi everyone [09:04] sarmisak, twice. [09:05] Thank you everyone for your help. I think I'm going to go tinker with stuff now till something breaks, or something works. lol. [09:05] shank1rb: What do you mean? Which files are you deleting? and what are you ultimately trying to accomplish? [09:05] I've installed propietary nvidia driver, but ubuntu (8.04 LTS) doesn't want to work with it :( how do I make it work? [09:05] mindvirus: you said -m didn't work. Was there some sort of error? [09:05] mindvirus: should be working flawlessly, maybe you missed a few folders? did you double check everything? [09:05] mindvirus: What's /etc/passwd say about your homedirectory? [09:05] Hewus, no, it printed out the usage. [09:05] i get an error when updateing my Nvidia drivers.. something about a file missing.. is there a way i can just force it to update? [09:06] Flannel, /etc/passwd has it right. [09:06] sarmisak, I used cp -R. [09:06] For some reason, when I deleted the original home directory, .gvfs didn't delete. [09:06] why does my botnet doesnt install normaly ? [09:06] I mean, since its a new os, what will happen to all the things that i had? Would it be better for me to free the used space by deleting the files? [09:06] I'll delete that later. [09:06] anyone: why does my botnet doesnt install normaly ? [09:06] anybody know how to use cut? or maybe there's a better way to do this... `find $dir -type d | cut -c $dir` ? i'm trying to get rid of all instances of $dir in output [09:07] Ahh, shit. [09:07] mindvirus: are you sure the original .* files are in your new home, and that it's not newly created default files? [09:07] I think it didn't copy the .* directories. [09:07] What the fuck. [09:07] mindvirus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:07] shank1rb: you're welcome to delete them if you want, files, songs, videos, etc (data, not programs) can be copied over and you'll still have them. Games you should probably ditch, since Windows and Linux are different [09:08] Flannel: does adobe photoshop cs3 work /w ubuntu? [09:08] I don't understand... cp -R is supposed to copy everything. [09:08] shank1rb: Through wine, I believe so, yes. [09:08] Is there any way to recover lost data? [09:08] That which was rm'ed? [09:09] yes, but i don't think it's non-trivial [09:09] Flannel: wine is a software of some sort i guess, so microsoft office would workk with ubuntu? [09:09] pteague, I'm willing to do non-trivial things. [09:09] i'm not even sure if i have that bookmarked... sec, let me check [09:10] shank1rb: wine allows you to run windows programs in ubuntu, but it can be complicated and not work. For office, you can use openoffice which is provided [09:10] shank1rb: It does, but there are native office apps that you'll probably want to use instead [09:10] shank1rb: I recommend you try the livecd first and play around to make sure ubuntu is for you before you dive in and realise it's not what you expected [09:10] shank1rb: Ubuntu is not Windows; there are many differences [09:11] hmm, true.. very true. [09:12] So, how do i Live-cd it again? [09:12] i already have the 64-bit cd burned. [09:12] kernel panic is unsolvable problem in ubuntu ? [09:13] m1r: wouldn't think so [09:13] shank1rb: you should just be able to put it in the drive and restart the computer, and it will boot up the livecd instead of windows [09:14] Slart: can u help on that problem ? [09:14] Hewus: i slide the cd in and restart the comp? [09:14] m1r: I have no idea.. what is the problem? [09:14] shank1rb: depending on your BIOS configuration, if that doesn't work, you probably have to modify the boot order (the "press del for setup" thing) [09:14] shank1rb: yep! [09:15] allright i'm givin it a try [09:15] Slart: when trying to boot it stops after disk has been mounted [09:15] shank1rb: good luck :-) [09:15] be back if it doesnt work [09:15] thank you very very much for all the assistance [09:15] mindvirus: i don't see the blog post i was looking for, but googled turned this up - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/best-liverescue-cd-for-ext3-data-recovery-417651/ [09:15] shank1rb: no problem, any time [09:15] Broadcom driver doesn't seem to work on ubuntu [09:16] @rajath yes that is a common problem [09:16] I've been experiencing the same problem too. [09:16] What model is your card? [09:16] Slart: i managed to get to busybox when putting wrong path into grub kernel line, if i put root=UUID or root=/dev/sdb1 it drops kernel panic [09:16] Is it the bcm43xx series? [09:17] m1r: installed any funke, weird kernel modules? or it's a regular ubuntu install? [09:17] Slart: ubuntu 8.04 beta with latest upgrades [09:17] Beta? [09:18] Slart: i had to repair sdb1 ext3 with livecd partition editor and now i can mount it, but i can boot it [09:18] m1r: have you tried starting from a live cd? does it kernel panic too? [09:18] i get an error when updateing my Nvidia drivers.. something about a file missing.. is there a way i can just force it to update? [09:18] Slart: i am now on livecd, it works without problems [09:19] Slart: it started panic after i fixed it with livecd [09:20] m1r: I suppost you could have had a disk error so that a kernel module now is broken.. but it's just a guess [09:20] * chillu [09:20] Slart: i had cooler problems and have booted into GUI but then after 5 min PC kept freezing cause of overheating [09:20] A friend wants to install Ubuntu on his laptop (running OpenGeu) but his cd drive appears to be stuffed. He's downloaded the iso. Is there any way to install from it without rebooting or is he out of luck without a working cd drive? [09:21] m1r: if I were you I'd try booting without the splash.. and without the quiet switch.. and actually try to see how long the boot goes before it crashes.. perhaps get an idea of what it is causing the crash [09:21] #ubuntu-pl [09:22] Slart: b4 i fixed it with live cd (ext3-fs) , it couldnt mount device, after it was fixed in livecd it start to mount, but after it mounts it drops kernel panic [09:22] #join ubuntu-pl [09:22] * chillu [09:22] rklein86: /join #ubuntu-pl [09:22] thanks;) === [MindVirus] is now known as MindVirus === chillu is now known as quantumelixir [09:24] need some help with installing multiple distro's in one machine............I now have Feisty Fawn and want to also try PCLinuxOS.............can I just put a spare drive in and install PCLinux to it and have my current grub loader pick it up? [09:24] Beawolfe: yep [09:24] anything I should worry about? [09:25] i get an error when updateing my Nvidia drivers.. something about a file missing.. is there a way i can just force it to update? Geforce 7800 GTX [09:25] use supergrub, easy! [09:25] If you want your current bootloader to be the one you use, don't let PCLinuxOS install its GRUB to the MBR (or you'll have to come back and rewrite stage1) [09:25] okay thanx! Flannel [09:26] how many aussies here?

Geforce 7800 GTX [09:32] wow 3 minute silenvce :) [09:32] Hi. for some reason I'm no longer able to write to a FAT partition since upgrading to 8.04. I can still write to a NFTS partition. any idea why? [09:33] I'm wanting to access server files online from different platforms. Been looking @ WebDAV, but google only responds that it doesn't work on hardy --- are there any other options? [09:34] broonsparrow: what's the error you're getting? [09:34] hi al [09:34] amorphous__: What exactly are you trying to do? [09:35] gordonjcp - permission denied [09:35] hi guy's I am trying to find a way to start my shoutcast server automatically at start up but I don't seem to be able to write script to get it working === sixtyby3 is now known as manyou [09:35] amorphous__: ftp , ssh ? [09:36] i want to sync files from various locations, back them up onto one of them & have access to that server from xp/vista laptops, gordonjcp [09:36] actually the script I have runs but when I add it to the init.d and reboot the system doesn't come up [09:36] broonsparrow: hm, check it's mounted as rw [09:36] amorphous__: well if it's Windows machines, you're probably going to want Samba [09:36] m1r, i need access from windows. Samba has given me a headache for long enough. it's not simple to get it secure via http [09:37] amorphous__: that's basically the only network file system that Windows understands [09:37] gordonjcp, ^ [09:37] gordonjcp - how do I check that? [09:37] hi guy, i'm trying to connect my ubuntu to the internet by using nokia cdma as modem with dku-5 data cabel. but why my firefox cant open any site, but when i use konqueror its works [09:37] amorphous__: ftp or ssh [09:37] broonsparrow: type "mount" and look for the device [09:37] amorphous__: What exactly are you trying to do? [09:37] gordonjcp, google is telling me that webdav is good on ms [09:38] anyone who has experience using virtualbox and usb devices? [09:38] amorphous__: if u dont want samba, not much u can do but those two above imo [09:38] ssh is a much better choice [09:38] gordonjcp - appears to be rw (/dev/sda4 on /media/Data type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [09:38] ) [09:39] amorphous__ or try unison [09:39] broonsparrow: it's not something crazy like the write protect switch on the card? [09:39] gordonjcp, i have a few machines @ various locations. I want them to back up to a server @ a different one & for people with window$ laptops to have r/w access to those files. [09:39] @Smegzor [09:39] You can do it with a usb key [09:39] ok m1r. thants sort of what i thought. Thanks ;) [09:39] amorphous__: ok [09:40] gordonjcp - I could write to it fine before I upgraded to 8.04 [09:40] amorphous__: so they're *not* on the same network? [09:40] hi guys, i'm trying to connect my ubuntu to the internet by using nokia cdma as modem with dku-5 data cabel. but why my firefox cant open any site, but when i use konqueror its works [09:40] amorphous__ take a look at unison [09:40] amorphous__: nps, if u can go for ssh [09:40] gordonjcp, no - each machine is on a different network - they're all online... [09:41] skillet - am just trying to get past the union references... [09:41] The proxy settings are incorrect for firefox. [09:41] http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ [09:41] amorphous__: ok, webdav might do it if you use https, but basically you want ipsec and samba [09:42] @newBie fix using Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Network [09:42] Depends on your version of Firefox. [09:42] hey gues [09:43] cheers skillet [09:43] : ) [09:43] hey. I'm also having problems updateing - updater is saying that not all updates can be installed so i click partial upgrade and it comes up with "Could not calculate the upgrade" any ideas? [09:43] broonsparrow: that's a bit odd, I must admit I can't see why that would happen [09:43] Compiz doesn't work appropriately with ati x1600. on the face of it, the proprietary driver seems to be work fine. However, once I try compiz fusion, it looks too sluggish. [09:44] How should I do to fix it? thanks. [09:44] (re your usb stick) [09:44] broonsparrow: use terminal and do apt-get update , apt-get dist-upgrade [09:44] morning all [09:45] hello all [09:45] how do i zip a folder with another name [09:46] zip -r foobar foobar but i want it to be different name than foobar [09:46] anyone?

[09:49] broonsparrow: just take care it is usb2.0 [09:49] please, help, Ubuntu doesn't work with external hdd over firewire? ubuntu doesn't see any fire-wire devices [09:50] Hewus: if ure still there, in the live cd, is alot of the things in ubuntu not supposed to work? [09:50] hi [09:50] shank1rb: everything should work from livecd [09:51] can i share files between ubuntu and xubuntu? [09:51] shank1rb: what problems did you have? [09:51] anyone who has experience using virtualbox and usb devices? [09:51] Hewus: such as the display reslution only goes uptp 800x600, the wireless wifi doesnt work.. [09:51] microwaver: virtualbox-ose doesn't support usb [09:51] anyone know if it is possible to do a raid 10 with software raid? [09:52] omg, raid 10 [09:52] anyone help how to zip file with another name plse [09:52] microwaver: download the compiled binary version from virtualbox.org, it works with usb [09:52] shank1rb: installing the restricted nvidia driver will probably fix the display issues, which you can only do on a proper installation. I personally don't have wireless, but I've heard with some cards there are issues. [09:53] microwaver: you'll be redirected to sun microsystems for download [09:53] i have nvidia network controller [09:53] shank1rb: lspci in terminal to determine your wlan card [09:53] shank1rb: all I could suggest would be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide as I don't have wifi experience [09:54] ok, ty hewus. [09:54] m1r: what is LSPCI? [09:54] shank1rb: I'm going away for a bit, if I come back and you're still here I'll let you know. gl again :-) [09:54] Hewus: ty for all the info [09:54] shank1rb: it is lspci and it is comand to list devices [09:54] can i share files between ubuntu and xubuntu? [09:55] !sharing [09:55] Factoid sharing not found [09:55] !shared [09:55] Factoid shared not found [09:55] hm [09:55] when clicked on check hardware or something, on the live disk it found the wireless netwrok controller, but couldnt connect to the internet.. [09:56] m1r, you can search with /msg ubottu search keyword and parse the result [09:56] ompaul: tnx [09:57] how can i disable the network manager and hardware driver icon in the system tray [09:57] people I got some troubles with window decoration: window control buttons don't redraw :( how do I fix that? [09:57] m1r, just checked seems broken got onto operator they might try to fix later [09:58] m1r: broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/ draft -n Wifi Adapter, is that what u were askin? [09:58] ompaul: ok , tnx m8 [09:58] is it possible to share files between ubuntu and xubuntu? [09:58] shank1rb: yes [09:58] mr_boo: yes [09:59] shank1rb: that is your wireless card name, u will need check for driver instalation for that model [09:59] Whenever I use the included SkyRocket Screensaver I find some stuttering issues when CompizFusion is running, however the problem doesnt seem to happen with Metacity. I use an Nvidia 8600GT with latest drivers. Any fixes? [10:00] Whenever I use the included SkyRocket Screensaver I find some stuttering issues when [10:00] CompizFusion is running, however the problem doesnt seem to happen with Metacity. I use an [10:00] Nvidia 8600GT with latest drivers. Any fixes? [10:01] m1r: what do i do after i download it? [10:02] Anyone can help me with my resolution? I cant set it on 1680x1050 [10:03] shank1rb: i am not sure for broadcoms, but u have two options, 1st is evil ndiswrapper with windows driver and 2nd is installing some package b43-fwcutter or similar, sry i cant help more, dont have expiriance with broadcoms [10:03] exit [10:04] what is evilndiswrapper? [10:04] ndiswrapper is way to get wlan cards working with windows drivers [10:05] is it a hard process? [10:06] shank1rb: not really, but u better have ethernet conection to that machine when setting up wlan driver, will make your life lot easier [10:07] so, this for a wired connect only? [10:07] Is there a way to find out what tv-card my laptop has? [10:08] shank1rb: no, that is for wlan, but u better be conected wired when setting up wireless, it make your life more easy in setting it up [10:09] does anybody know how to lock a tty other than logging out of it? [10:09] shank1rb: did u try connect to internet with livecd ? [10:09] powertool08: try ctrl_+alt+l [10:10] yes [10:10] and ? [10:10] no internet thru wireless [10:10] powertool08: doesn't work :D It worked on terminals [10:10] prodigel: i don't think it works [10:10] i havent tried wired tho [10:10] shank1rb: do you see wireless conections on network manager ? [10:11] no, but i did the lil hadware check and it did find the network hardware, but didnt connect... [10:11] prodigel: i have rtorrent running in it but it defeats the purpose of my kde password since somebody can simply close rtorrent and do whatever in the command line [10:11] use screen!!! [10:12] another thing, i didnt get was that i couldnt increase the resolution of the monitor [10:12] shank1rb: that is VGAfeature [10:12] shank1rb: I'm back [10:12] hi [10:12] use other clients. I'm using a transmission-daemon and controll it by web interface [10:12] powertool08: use other clients. I'm using a transmission-daemon and controll it by web interface [10:13] hewus: o nice [10:13] shank1rb: only thing that can give u problem is wireless, can u try ping your router ? [10:14] ok, i'll look into that as well as screen, thanks [10:14] powertool08: use rtorrent... you can logout then reconnect to the session where ever [10:14] rtorrent+screen* [10:14] m1r/hewus: so if i cant increase my resolution in the live cd, then i wont be able to increase it in the installed ver? [10:15] what can be done in ubuntu that cant be done in windows xp/vista or os10? [10:15] shank1rb: dont worry about resolution, u need drivers for your vga card which u install after "install to hdd" [10:15] Jester45: ok, i'll check it out tomorrow, thanks :) [10:15] m1r/hewus: o [10:15] defnet , not get virus ? [10:15] ah [10:15] of course [10:15] defnet, what are you talking about? [10:15] shank1rb: the livecd uses the open-source "nv" driver. Once you have installed, you can use the "nvidia" driver which should be able to use your normal max resolution [10:16] defnet , dont get blue screen of death ? [10:16] i prefer linux because it runs better on old hardware, but what can i do on good hardware? [10:16] m1r/hewus: so do u think that the wireless might work as well as i install the Os? [10:17] shank1rb: try ping your router if u can conect to network over network manager ? [10:17] m1r/hewus: "ping" meaning? [10:17] shank1rb: it's not the same issue, so I'm not sure. Like I said earlier, I don't have any experience with wireless, sorry. [10:17] shank1rb: ping 192.168.1.1 - assuming this is IP of your router [10:17] yea [10:17] it is [10:18] shank1rb: ping is a command, which you can run from either the windows or ubuntu command line [10:18] how do i do that? [10:18] shank1rb, man ping [10:19] shank1rb: are you on ubuntu or windows atm? [10:19] aplications>accesories>terminal [10:19] shank1rb: open terminal and type: ping +IP address of router [10:19] windows [10:19] run: cmd [10:19] start>run>cmd [10:19] type "ping {router ip}" [10:20] defnet: i've got one for you, on linux you can crash your system to the point of clean reinstall 20 times in a few months, BUT have fun doing it and learn a lot [10:20] huh [10:21] in ubuntu i cant run as root :( [10:21] and i have a corrupt sources list [10:21] !root [10:21] 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 [10:21] after, pinging the i.p what do i do? [10:21] in reference to what you can do in ubuntu but not windows [10:21] shank1rb: in windows u cant do nothing [10:22] defnet: sorry, i got distracted and responded slow [10:22] cant do nothing? does that mean you can do everything? [10:22] do, i have to connect the computer to a ethernet port before pinging? [10:22] skillet: hes trying to get his wlan card working [10:22] skillet: care to help fixing wlan on livecd while in windows ? [10:23] i ping my router and get latency of .495 ms is that good? [10:23] what card/chipset [10:23] yes it is [10:23] defnet, yes [10:23] shank1rb: whats your wlan card ID? [10:24] ? [10:24] but, i got hardware rated up to 100mb/s and cap off at 10mb/s, anyone know why? [10:24] lspci | grep -i network [10:24] shank1rb: ping tests your connection. In windows it should be able to connect just fine. If you ping in linux, we'll be able to see if it can connect or not [10:24] o [10:25] Anyone care to help me with some stuff in Xubuntu? [10:25] Hey, someone who can help me ? i am new with ubuntu [10:25] what is wlan card ID?

[10:25] defnet, read the difinition of latency [10:26] shank1rb: lspci [10:26] stenu and ali_ just ask your questions. no one is going to ask you what your problem is [10:26] o [10:26] shank1rb, is this a laptop or desktop?

[10:27] ick [10:27] broadcom [10:28] and how do i scan for devices connected to the network/ [10:28] skillet: i gues he need install b43-fwcutter or some similar name [10:28] defnet, devices?

[10:51] Hi, I get this error, while connecting remotely to an ubuntu 8.04 system: shell-init:error retrieving current directory: getcwd:cannot access parent dir. what is it? [10:51] RainMaker, hmm .... thats odd .. just installin that worked fine for me always ... [10:51] DanielRM:whats your hardware?? [10:51] !info phpmyadmin > me [10:52] soulhacker: minipci Broadcom. [10:52] soulhacker: BCM94311MCG [10:52] is there a kind person willing to accompany me on installing process? i'm installing enemy territory game [10:52] hischild I'm an idiot to this type of stuff >_> [10:52] DanielRM:lsmod|grep bcm [10:52] Actually, no I'm not, only on linux it takes more work. [10:52] hello, there is some behaviour in gnome i would like to change, when I do CTRL BACKSPACE in windows, in an adress bar it removes the text after a slash, in gnome, it removes the whole line [10:52] soulhacker: no output. [10:53] RainMaker, nobody is an idiot, we all have to start somewhere. Can you check if apache is working? If you go to http://localhost it should say IT WORKS [10:53] How can I make it remove only a line in gnome ? [10:53] umm [10:53] DanielRM:lsmod|grep iwl or grep mac [10:53] I have a site hosted and it works. [10:53] jokoon, a line? [10:53] DanielRM:lsmod|grep 802 [10:53] my medibuntu.list file is corrupt [10:53] soulhacker: would you believe me if I said no output for any of those? [10:53] how can i connect to internet? [10:53] shank1rb: The wireless driver? I'm sorry mate, but I've said I don't have any experience with wireless, so I can't help with this one :-(. All I know is that proprietary wireless cards are one of the last problematic areas on ubuntu, so frankly it's not surprising you're having issues with it. [10:54] purpleeye.ath.cx is my site [10:54] RainMaker, a site? i see. And do you know if apache has been restarted after installing phpmyadmin? If not, can you do so? [10:54] hi there, is there a way I can get a list, ie a proper list of applications running on my server? [10:54] hmm [10:54] Okay hischild I will restart. [10:54] DanielRM:or just paste your lsmod output to pastebin give me the link [10:54] soulhacker: it randomly started working the day before yesterday after I'd spent several months struggling with it to no avail. [10:54] skillet I mean only a set of characters before a slash, comma, dot [10:54] shank1rb: keep asking in this channel and see if someone else can help with your wireless problem. [10:54] couls anyone tell me the command to enable userdir public_html in apache2? Thanks in advance [10:54] ok ty [10:54] type ' soulhacker: Now I'm afraid an update will regress it. [10:54] hischild how do I restart..? [10:55] help? [10:55] DanielRM:did you use update manager yesterday?? [10:55] How to i change so that X is using xorg.conf instead of xorg.conf.failsafe ? [10:55] RainMaker, apache2 can be restarted by issueing the command ==> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [10:55] skillet in gnome you do ctrl backspace it remove everything, and most of the time I just want to edit the url, but just something after a slash, not the whole thing [10:56] soulhacker: http://pastebin.com/d3701029e [10:56] soulhacker: it still doesn't work properly... What does the console tell your fps with running glxgears? [10:56] soulhacker: yes. I also enable the proposed repo for each release. [10:56] okay I restarted it hischild [10:56] i cant use the "sudo apt-get install" command [10:56] RainMaker, can you check again by going to localhost/phpmyadmin? (its case sensitive) [10:56] i get "type ' k hischild [10:57] hischild still 404 :/.. [10:57] DanielRM:so then cool then i would try that out for mine to since my wifi is not working anyways now its working why worry enjoy [10:57] defnet: What did you try to install? [10:57] anyone in this channel: I have a broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/ draft -n Wifi Adapter, and it doesnt work whatsoever in ubuntu. the wireless on lights doesnt turn on... Anyone who can help me this? Please. this is the only thing obstructing me from installing ubuntu completely. [10:57] RainMaker, hmm ... gimme a sec to see where mine is located [10:57] soulhacker: lol, I was just hoping that I could pin the responsible package to prevent it regressing. Thanks anyway, though. :-) [10:58] k hischild [10:58] shank1rb: I believe that is what is in my dell laptop [10:58] yes it does work [10:58] gparted, wine, build-essential [10:58] the list goes on [10:58] Upgrading my Dell D620 to Hardy NOW! [10:58] sfire: awesome. how do i make it work? [10:58] Can someone help me get X to use xorg.conf instead of xorg.conf.failsafe? [10:58] shank1rb: using the windows drivers via ndiswrapper [10:59] defnet: Did you type "sudo apt-get install gparted"? [10:59] yes [10:59] soulhacker: The driver still is not right. The system lags... [10:59] defne: whats the output? [10:59] sfire: awesome. umm, FOB in this kinda stuff, could u explain how i can fix it? [10:59] shank1rb: I'll do better.. I'll get you a link [11:00] ok [11:00] agion:go to ati site see whats there latest ati linux driver version then search synaptic for fglrx [11:00] shank1rb: I just had a quick google, and found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593048 which might help you [11:00] agion:compare the version numbers [11:00] julle: when you get to the login screen change the session to a normal session - no failsafe. [11:00] type ' shank1rb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [11:00] I have the latest fglrx [11:00] shank1rb: that should be a good starting point [11:01] julle: or, alternatively, backup the failsafe file and then rename the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.failsafe ;-) [11:01] if I "trust" a key in seahorse, does it implicitly signs it with my key, or does it mean something else? [11:01] RainMaker, did you change anything related to the apache configuration file? [11:01] soulhacker: I have the latest fgrlx [11:01] No I didn't. [11:01] I never touched apache. [11:02] shank1rb: if you have questions on ndiswrapper make sure to come back and ask very very specific questions to get help [11:02] Just forwarded a domain to my ip. [11:02] agion [11:02] where is the trash folder located these days? /home/user/.trash no longer exists? [11:02] RainMaker, then what webserver do you run? [11:02] defnet: tell me [11:02] the output is "type ' I installed apache, but all I did was forward my domain to my ip adress, hischild. [11:02] RainMaker, ok. [11:03] ty ty ty [11:03] defnet: strange.. Does the apt-get work? Try sudo apt-get update [11:03] u guys r awesomely helpful [11:03] same outuput [11:03] shank1rb: I just happened to be passing through :) [11:03] .AM,DFA [11:03] shank1rb: had to do the same thing for my dell laptop [11:03] agion:well then report bug to ati that linux drivier doesnt work smoothly.... [11:03] :D [11:04] 什么意思？ [11:04] c0Ld: why? [11:04] hehe.. [11:04] i have another prob as well, Sfire/ hewus [11:04] RainMaker, thats really odd that it doesnt show ... im afraid i dont have any time left to help, since lunch is ready (im at school) [11:04] jancok [11:04] agion: i get the same output [11:04] okay hischild [11:04] defnet: try to ask someone else, i cant solve that and I have my problem too, so try to ask someone better.. [11:04] Can you give me your e-mail? [11:04] the resolution doesnt increase... [11:04] You are really helpful. [11:04] shank1rb: Intel video? [11:05] shank1rb: what stage are you at? have you installed ubuntu now? [11:05] jancok [11:05] defnet, open up your sources.list and make sure there are only hyperlinks in there, nothing else. [11:05] nvidia go force 7120 [11:05] cant replace that file cause i cant sign in as root [11:05] c0Ld: this'll find all your trash folders, I think: [11:05] shank1rb: you will need to install the nvidia restricted drivers, which will be quite easy [11:05] c0Ld: sudo find / -name .Trash\* -print [11:05] shank1rb: usually when I have those problems I end up fussing with the xorg.conf file manually :( [11:05] jancok [11:05] jancok [11:05] jancok [11:05] c0Ld: there are multiple. [11:05] she_imoetz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:05] someone else might have better advice [11:05] and is being adminstrator in windows the same as root in linux? [11:05] o [11:05] Is there a way to read ext3 within windows? [11:06] shank1rb: have you installed ubuntu to disk now? [11:06] hi folks. I would like to know if its possible in nautilus to double click a tune and have it added to the queue in rhythmbox? perhaps someway using the "rhythmbox-client --enqueue" but letting the URI automatically add the current song. I'm guessing its probably gonna have to be a shell script?! [11:06] hold on, guys..lemee go and install [11:06] BeBoBli: yes [11:06] BeBoBli: yes [11:06] ooh! how? [11:06] how do i get rhythmbox to play mp3? [11:06] n3uromanc3r: could you change the open with dialog to a custom command? [11:06] i have a question about the paritition thing [11:06] BeBoBli: google "ext3 windows" [11:06] 谁懂中文！ [11:06] !codec | defnet [11:06] defnet: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:06] shank1rb: no worries. Once you've installed, installing the nvidia restricted driver should be easy enough. Also, remember to say my name in a reply so I can see your message properly :-) [11:06] BeBoBli: that was the easiest google search ever. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fs-driver.org%2F&ei=KsZDSPuWJYmkQdKygJwG&usg=AFQjCNF0ECxOZzZPou5IxvZ5ewrIF91Ntw&sig2=GF5p4Iab7dvYchL7gRnLDQ [11:07] :c [11:07] shank1rb: use default if u want clean windowns of that laptop [11:07] TM的这里是什么地方？ [11:07] BeBoBli: the first link is what you want [11:07] 阿；记分册的萨 [11:07] Well I was so excited with the answer I didn't have the time to google okay take that excuse [11:07] 有人理我马？ [11:07] ！！！！！ [11:07] BeBoBli: ;) [11:07] BeBoBli: hehehehehehehe [11:07] vody: ubuntu-cn [11:07] awesome thanks to hewus/m1r/sfire.

[11:08] Agion: blame ati [11:08] n3uromanc3r: something like properties, open with, add, "rhythmbox-client --enqueue $2" or something? [11:08] i cant use sudo apt-get [11:08] DanielRM: yeah, but I think it needs to be a shell script as I want to open file perhaps with rhythmbox-client --enqueue="$(this_file)" but I don't know how [11:08] I do... [11:08] defnet: why? [11:09] i get [11:09] I just installed a text-only version of Ubuntu and my networking isn't working...ping doesn't work and ifconfig doesn't show any of my connections [11:09] m1r: I just wanna get it to run smooth and get some help with it :) [11:09] a messegee [11:09] any kernel panic meisters here ? [11:09] DanielRM: perhaps there is another way too? [11:09] defnet: is it asking you for your password? [11:09] syaing that my medibuntu.list is not rcognized [11:09] Agion: what card ? [11:09] what th hell.. flash sound doesn't work in hardy? [11:09] the* [11:09] m1r: ATI x1950 [11:09] alright so here's the issue i'm having. i'm with bell sympatico for internet, and the modem itself has a firewall. now with XP this isn't an issue, once my computer is all connected and stuff windows xp gives me access to the internet connection, and i can set firewall exceptions through there. however once i turn my xp computer off those get reset... my server is running ubuntu and i was wondering how i would go about setting [11:10] Agion: too new for me, cant help there :) [11:10] doesnt recognize ' m1r: Too new for ATI too :) [11:10] cyphase: there is an issue with pulseaudio and flash [11:10] mordof: you need to do port forwarding [11:10] defnet: pastebin your sources.list [11:10] Agion: that's why i have xp on my computer with the x1950xtx in it [11:10] n3uromanc3r: is it fixable? [11:10] can you fix that sfire? [11:10] sfire: can't there's no modem control panel [11:10] sfire: i need to be able to do it through ubuntu [11:11] cyphase: doesn't effect everyone. it does me. haven't fixed it yet [11:11] mordof: do you have it plugged into a switch/hub? [11:11] mordof: windows xp? [11:11] sfire: switch yes [11:11] agion: for my comp with that video card... yeah, i won't put linux on it cause i haven't had very good luck getting it to work well [11:11] n3uromanc3r: hmmm. Maybe run a shell script as the open with. [11:11] cyphase: try part B of this page for a fix http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [11:12] n3uromanc3r: wait a moment, I'll test the idea. [11:12] mordof: try these http://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.0.1 [11:12] DanielRM: cool [11:12] mordof: I have xp too but it sux so i wanted to get it linux working... :D [11:12] mordof: chances are one of those will work [11:12] sfire: no you don't get it it doesn't have one [11:12] sfire: D;! [11:12] sfire: i need upnp services on ubuntu ; ; [11:12] n3uromanc3r: I use Exaile instead of Rhythmbox, so I'm not used to it. [11:12] mordof: thats going to be kinda rough.. let me take 1 look really quick [11:13] sfire: 192.168.2.1 is the modem "setup" menu but in no way does it allow me to mess with the ports, that's why i've been doing it through the XP internet connection properties [11:13] glitsj16: simple enough i suppose, although to hard for a supposedly "hardy" release :S [11:13] mordof: are you a programmer? [11:13] mordof: u speaking about ubuntu or about router/modem config ? [11:14] m1r: need ubuntu upnp config, modem doesn't have firewall configurations so i have to do it through the OS [11:14] sfire: somewhat, yeah. [11:14] mordof: http://upnp.sourceforge.net/ [11:14] DanielRM: yeah they're pretty similar though. did you manage it in exaile? [11:14] could write a small app to do it on bootup [11:14] cyphase: can't judge that, it works for me, you can always fallback to what you have right now if it doens't work out ;) [11:15] argh, over half the stuff I try to compile that's for linux, won't compile in ubuntu [11:15] ariqs: what are you trying to build ? [11:15] mordof: that is a really insecure firewall just so you know [11:15] gyachi-1.1.0 [11:15] all the viruses use uPnP to open ports [11:16] ariqs: whats the problem with it ? [11:16] !uwf [11:16] Factoid uwf not found [11:16] sfire: that's fine.. haven't had any problems for over a year and a half *shrugs* viruses have to get on my computer first to be able to open the ports [11:16] the autogen script gives me a billion warnings and hen fails [11:17] mordof: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [11:17] that is firewall [11:17] Siki Siki baba [11:17] un1t: ? [11:17] synaptic wont load and update manager hangs - what could be going on [11:17] DIL_: defien "won't load" please. [11:18] m1r: *nods* though there's no need for it but ty. if i get any information on my computer that i need to protect i might put on that as a second layer [11:18] ikonia: wont load=circle rotates then disappears from screen no appliaction displays [11:18] GDM (Gnome Display Manager) is not running <--- how to enable it? [11:19] DIL_: for a test please open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get udpate" [11:19] n3uromanc3r: I never tried. [11:19] i change make any changes ..in login screen.. [11:19] DanielRM: fair enough. ;) [11:19] Anyone else having big trouble with the firefox in hardy? Specially when a page has flash... firefox often just dies. [11:19] ikonia: sry for interuption , do you maybe know somthing about kernel panics ? [11:19] ikonia: ran through several packages no errors from terminal [11:20] ghis: flash compatability in general is limited [11:20] m1r: depends on the issues. What's up [11:20] is there a (simple) GUI way to restart networkmanager? [11:20] DIL_: interesting, so the acutal package manager is having no issues [11:20] DIL_: just the interface to it [11:20] ikonia: limited? today you really need flash to work... is it always this buggy in ubuntu? [11:20] is there a log file where my package install and uninstall chronics are logged? [11:21] ghis: it's nothing to do with ubuntu - the flash support in general on linux is "generic" and as such is not as stable as windows and mac platforms === MetalSnake is now known as Olol [11:21] sfire: :D if i'm understanding correctly about a spot on this page, looks like there's already a package made to mimic microsofts ICS (what i'm using on xp to control it) [11:21] echo_mirage: chronics ? [11:21] ikonia: yes i can even get update manager gui to shutdown [11:21] ikonia: can't [11:22] ikonia: okay... that's suck. can anyone look at flash full screen? Like something on youtube...? [11:22] mordof: you said uPnP [11:22] DIL_: I appriciate this is not fixing an issue but a symptom, but have you rebooted, some X11 issues are simpley X11 memory hangs [11:22] ghis: sometimes yes [11:22] ikonia: which packages i installed and unistalled recently [11:22] echo_mirage: dpkg.log [11:22] is in directory... ? [11:22] ikonia: ty for your help but rebooted twice [11:22] mordof: give that a try then :) [11:22] ikonia: i had freezing up due to bad southbridge cooler, in that process system would boot, work 5 min then get blocked. that was hapening for 2 or 3 days until i found whats causing it to freze and changed cooler. after finally i got it runing it wouldnt mount /dev/sdb1 so i went livecd and repair ext3 with partition editor. after that repair drive gets mounted on start , but after it mounts it drops me out kernel panic and here i am blocked sinc [11:23] DIL_: I suspected as much, just removing the obvious stuf [11:23] I actually don't keep up with windows anymore [11:23] stuff [11:23] sfire: yeah... microsoft's Internet Connection Service runs off of uPnP devices [11:23] DIL_: you could try doing "gksudo synaptic" in a terminal, then any output/issues gets logged to the terminal [11:23] Anyone knows a good browser that works good with flash? And don't crash 3-4 times / hour? [11:23] ghis: IE [11:23] ghis: as I said, it's not browser specific, the flash support on any linux distro has issues [11:24] echo mirage: in terminal type cd / locate *.log one of them will fit your bill and some other interesting tidbits [11:24] n3uromanc3r: I can't get it to work. Sorry. :( [11:24] echo_mirage: /var/log [11:24] sfire: http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net/ if you're ever interested at all. i doubt it's that useful for the average person though, lol [11:24] mordof: I use port forwarding [11:24] ikonia: that got it to "load" ty [11:24] personally I would throw that modem away :p [11:24] DIL_: Hmmm thats interesting [11:25] echo_mirage: /var/log/dpkg.log [11:25] ikonia: init: error parsing configuration: no such file or directory ;then: kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init! [11:25] sfire: i would too if it were possible, lol.. however at this point i don't have much choice [11:25] m1r: at what poing do you get that, looks like "init" config is borked [11:26] sfire: i hate modems that have restrictions like this ; ; [11:26] n3uromanc3r: apparently --enqueue=/path/to/file fails silently. [11:26] DanielRM: no worries, cheers anyway [11:26] ikonia , after it mounts HDD on boot process [11:26] ikonia: Wierd since it must be rather in portent that flash works if ubuntu should be "people" os. [11:26] m1r: is this a clean OS [11:26] hey all, is there a working solution for the Apple slim (alu) keyboard num pad issue under 8.04 [11:26] ghis: ubuntu don't make flash - adobe does and it's closed source [11:26] ikonia , dual boot 2nd HDD with ubuntu 8.04 from beta [11:26] ghis: you'll have issues on any linux based OS potentially [11:27] DanielRM: reckon a shell script it is then... ! [11:27] m1r: and it just stopped working [11:27] ikonia , did u read above ? i repeat, ok? [11:27] ghis: you can goto www.adobe.com forums and see what others are saying about the linux flash plugin :) [11:27] ikonia: i had freezing up due to bad southbridge cooler, in that process system would boot, work 5 min then get blocked. that was hapening for 2 or 3 days until i found whats causing it to freze and changed cooler. after finally i got it runing it wouldnt mount /dev/sdb1 so i went livecd and repair ext3 with partition editor. after that repair drive gets mounted on start , but after it mounts it drops me out kernel panic and here i am blocked sinc [11:28] m1r: ok, that makes sense [11:28] hey all, is there a working solution for the Apple slim (alu) keyboard num pad issue under 8.04 [11:28] m1r: how did you "repair" the damaged partition [11:28] ikonia: using partition editor from live cd, and after that repair it could mount on boot but displays kernel panic [11:28] n3uromanc3r: good luck. [11:29] hi all im having some troubles after an update when booting i only get a grub prompt can anyone help me istarted a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814841 [11:29] m1r: yes, but a partition editor is not a repair tool, so what did you actually do, put a new ext3 file system on it ? [11:29] m1r: what partition was /dev/sdb1 , was it the root file system ? [11:29] ikonia yes [11:29] m1r: yes to what, can you give a little more detail please. [11:29] ikonia, now i can mount it on livecd , b4 repair tool i couldnt mount it [11:29] freefrags: when did you update and what else to you add any hardware software? [11:30] m1r: I'll say it again - partition tools are not "repair" tools, what did you change ? [11:30] hello, if i do RHCT can i join ubuntu [11:30] liassist: RHCT ? [11:30] ikonia: i used partition image and check the system for errors on it as i recall corect [11:30] niner64: it was a few days ago i didnt change anything else it rebooted and gave me the prompt [11:30] hello i just install ubuntu 8.04 i must use TOR and privoxy but it do not work with mozilla firfox 3 beta 5?? how to please [11:30] partition editor [11:31] redhat certified technition [11:31] m1r: so in the livecd, you can mount this disk. What is on this disk when you mount it ? [11:31] freefrags: no error code? [11:31] liassist: how is that anything to do with ubuntu [11:31] ikonia , whole OS [11:31] nope well i dont see one it just shows me the grub prompt [11:31] both are LINUX [11:31] m1r: and you can see and access the OS ?

[11:31] how do I get k9copy to recognize my dvd-writer? [11:31] hi [11:32] liassist: yes, but there is no relecance to official redhat certification exams and joining ubuntu as an ubuntu member [11:32] ikonia: i can access /dev/sdb1 over livecd normaly and see all files [11:32] liassist: relevance that should read [11:32] ? [11:32] ikonia, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16380/ [11:33] m1r: ok, I'd advise you to look at the /etc/event.d directory on /dev/sdb1 for validation all is well [11:33] looks like it was waiting for an installation you know buntu updated the kernel recent [11:33] sfire: i'm on live chat with a rep from my ISP now asking for a new modem, lmao [11:33] ikonia: i boot to livecd to access that drive , brb 5 min, tnx a lot m8 [11:33] did you try grub-install at that prompt? [11:33] hi, what's the diff between "applications > system > add/remove..." and "applications > system > synaptic package manager" ? [11:33] liassist: that makes no sense, to become an ubuntu member you just have to show "contibution" to ubuntu in some way [11:33] mordof: or simply the access info :) [11:34] m1r: no problem [11:34] anyone had problems with 8.04 alternate at login prompt? I can see the graphical boot, but at the loging prompt, the display go in standby mode... i donno how to do.. [11:34] i want a "job" [11:34] * liassist wants to make $$$ [11:34] What does "The following packages have been kept back:" mean and why are they kept back? [11:34] niner64: no i didnt try that yet [11:34] liassist: then you need to contact canonical [11:34] AlexCONRAD: Synaptic is considerably more powerful and lists all packages. [11:34] hi, i got a problem with my ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417675), can someone help me? [11:34] liassist: this is not the channel or network for that [11:34] AlexCONRAD: however, it's also slightly more complicated. [11:35] DanielRM: ok, thanks. So you'd recommand manipulating packages under synaptic [11:35] iam asking are there jobs in ubuntu (for 14year old whoes done CCNA) [11:35] freefrags: you could also look at your menu_lst and make sure the correct kernel and intrd 's are pointed and the mmap is right in the grub directory if you have access [11:35] liassist: this is a busy support channel, general chatter can be found in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:35] niner64: i did use the SuperGRUB CD but that didnt help found my menu.lst which looks ok to me [11:35] liasst: are you in the US? [11:35] no [11:35] liassist: Unfortunately I think it's illegal in most places to hire someone your age... [11:35] does synaptic uses apt as a backend ? [11:35] ugh [11:35] AlexCONRAD: sort of... it uses libapt [11:35] AlexCONRAD: yes. Certainly you're not likely to mess up; I used Synaptic as my preferred graphical app from when I started using Ubuntu. [11:36] :) [11:36] niner64: using the live cd now and i can acces all my files so that should be possible [11:36] liassist: that is a way that Linux is kinda bullshit [11:36] thanks guys [11:36] AlexCONRAD: aptitude/synaptic/apt-get/apt-cache/etc are all frontends to libapt [11:36] hello i just install ubuntu 8.04 i must use TOR and privoxy but it do not work with mozilla firfox 3 beta 5?? how to please [11:36] imaginativeone: that language is uncalled for [11:36] fde: ok [11:36] nobody ever talks about how to eat with it [11:36] liassist: yes there are things that help is needed on http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [11:36] iam sorry for the disturbance ill join the other channel thankyou for your support (life is short but skill is not) [11:36] imaginativeone: Umm... you can sell support, or media etc... [11:37] so they would all use /etc/apt/sources.list as libapt uses them I presume [11:37] niner64: i posted my men.lst and fdisk -l in the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814841 [11:37] imaginativeone: It's just kinda hard for a 14yo to get work. [11:37] Freeefrags: good check the grub configuration and possibly re-run grub-install when all is correct (check for limited space on an ext2 partition if you have one of them as well) [11:37] AlexCONRAD: yes. [11:37] fde: sure! but nobody every talks about that. [11:37] niner64: ok where do i find the grub configuration [11:38] Freefrags: can you post your fstab as well \ [11:38] 14 year olds who know what they're doing can get paid [11:38] sure [11:38] 1 sec [11:38] imaginativeone: Sure they do... RedHat is a multi-billion dollar company, MySQL just made 1billion in one transaction... both GPL almost exclusively... the GPL even lists ways to make money. [11:39] imaginativeone: They just try to block out the corporate domination, and put the money back in the developers and contributors hands. [11:39] ikonia: seems i dont have /etc folder anymore on /dev/sdb1 [11:39] fde: I stand corrected [11:39] m1r: I think we have the problem ;) [11:39] ikonia: :) [11:39] I guess I just need to talk with the right people (from now on) [11:39] ikonia: is it fixable ? [11:40] m1r: re-install or restore from backup really [11:40] ????? [11:40] m1r: how comes u have no /etc? [11:40] ikonia: i dont have backup of /etc :/ [11:40] icqnumber: i think partition editor removed it somehow [11:41] niner64: how do i make one of those nice scrollable things in the forum ? lol it makes a really long post if i paste [11:41] imaginativeone: No one is against making money... GNU even sells its version of Linux for something like $5,000 ... it's just a matter of where that money goes to some extent, and more importantly what you get for your money (right to modify, distribute etc) [11:41] freefrags: pastebin have you used that before? [11:41] nope never [11:41] m1r: wau, what was u doing with them? [11:41] i got no problem with ubuntu 7.10 i can install and configur tor with privoxy but with ubuntu 8.04 it do not work ? how to please [11:41] can someone give freefrags the pastebin url plz [11:41] i posted my fstab [11:42] ikonia: is it posible partition editor deleted /etc ? [11:42] m1r: yes, quite possible [11:42] freefrags: lookin at your post.. [11:42] sfire: buahahaha.... i basically got the agent to "hang up" on me, lol. i didn't even technically end the conversation and he just cut me off [11:42] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ??? [11:42] imaginativeone: Did you know, for instance, that any media you have on your computer that is in MP3 format, you actually own none of that... your DVD collection, you don't own that... you purchased permission to play that media, and that's it. [11:42] ALL: When I use 'apt-get upgrade', I see several packages being held back. How/Why are they designated to be held back? [11:42] m1r: was /etc on its own partition? [11:42] ikonia: any way to retrive it ? [11:42] icqnumber: all files on one partition [11:42] m1r: no [11:43] m1r: backup - you don't have, so re-install only [11:43] mordof: that sucks :( [11:43] i'm have windows xp as a guest OS on my virtaulbox. how do I activate seamless mode? [11:43] m1r: i guess time to reinstall [11:43] hello ive just installed vista on to partition i set for a dual boot, i saved my grub, used easy bcd to add the menu.lst, boot when i try boot ubuntu it says file not found, i know the partition hasent been formatted coz i can search with a programme in vista , how can i boot back into my linux(im a noob at this i followed a walk through for the vista install) [11:43] sfire: kept giving me all these "upgrade" options which really have the same firewall/upnp configuration.. and i told him those were just as insecure and useless as the one i have now, so i'd continue doing things the way i am xD [11:43] imaginativeone: And even then... you purchased permission to play it under curtain circumstances only... [11:43] ikonia , icqnumber , seems doomsday has come :( [11:44] freefrags: find doesn't work; in terminal use cd / then locate ;) [11:44] m1r: sorry [11:44] mordof: better off calling tech support.. tell them you are trying to play a game that connects IP to IP [11:44] imaginativeone: By law, if you copy it and give it to a friend, you're breaking the law... you play it in a public place, you're breaking the law... etc [11:44] sfire: yeah but that's what upnp is for ; ; [11:44] ikonia: many tnx for guiding me into problem :) [11:44] tell them you cannot get your buddy to connect because the port is blocked :) [11:44] upnp won't work with this game :) [11:44] m1r: no problem [11:44] it appaers that i have lost permission to synaptic and update manager i can only access as root or sudo [11:44] m1r: i still do not follow how you did [11:44] sfire: lol.. the ICS controls it - they'd walk me through that i'm sure [11:45] niner64: lol ok thnx for the tip [11:45] icqnumber: livecd partition editor , i went fixing EXT3-fs with it [11:45] sfire: that service allows stuff like that to work with devices like this in the case it can't be specifically configured [11:45] Freetype:np the rest of the instructions on that page should hook you back up! [11:45] mordof: then here is the other option.. use internet connection sharing to share it to the "server" [11:45] or run a virtual machine [11:45] VMware ROCKS [11:45] imaginativeone: GPL and others simply try give those rights back to you... let you own your copy of the media entirely, to do with as you see fit without breaking any laws... no one ever said anything about not making money from that. [11:46] it appaers that i have lost permission to synaptic and update manager i can only access as root or sudo- how would i get perms back to non root user [11:46] virtualbox ftw [11:46] how do i disable join/leave messages in xchat? [11:46] ikonia: can i PM you ? [11:46] niner64: which page did i miss something? [11:46] m1r: go on then.... [11:46] m1r: and how come u need to fix ext3, is ur hard drive going down? [11:46] polishpaul: right click the channel name and uncheck "Show join/part messages" [11:46] ikonia tnx [11:46] sfire: server is the only one on all the time ; ;. heh.. guess it's back to the upnp config for ubuntu >.< *sighs* lol. i'll figure out something a bit more secure at some point. maybe look into knocking out the firewall on my modem, or at least replacing the control panel so i have access xD [11:47] skillet: ? [11:47] hello ive just installed vista on to partition i set for a dual boot, i saved my grub, used easy bcd to add the menu.lst, boot when i try boot ubuntu it says file not found, i know the partition hasent been formatted coz i can search with a programme in vista , how can i boot back into my linux(im a noob at this i followed a walk through for the vista install) [11:47] icqnumber: cooler failure keept my PC freezing after 5 minutes of usage , for 2 days was finding problem [11:47] mordof: do you have access to DMZ settings? [11:47] mordof: tried all the common username/password combos? [11:47] admin/admin admin/password admin/password1 ect ect [11:48] sfire: there's no "control panel" only a status page for the internet connection [11:48] How do I start e.g. firefox but quiet from terminal/shell and keeping the terminal open? [11:48] mordof: make/model of modem? [11:48] freefrags: if your in the grub> menu stype 'setup' then you'll get hd(0,x) type x as the partition of where your ubuntu grub files partion is stored 0,0 if only one 0,1 if second etc. or use grub-install at command line in terminal [11:49] firefox & [11:49] i just installed xchat via ubuntu, but it looks odd.. there's no X icon, and i don't have the option to stop the join/leave messages??

[11:53] ok, this is weird.. i don't have an option to change my resolution or screens? Isn't that a standard option with Ubuntu? [11:54] freefrag: after you type grub-install in the command line it will do it or fail no problem nothing else to do that is IF you have it mounted [11:54] imaginativeone: install kubuntu [11:54] how do I switch from gnome (which sucks) to kde (without losing my current os)? [11:54] freefrags: or read this again http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814841 and how to fix it on restart [11:54] imaginativeone: or do 'apt-get install kde-desktop && apt-get remove gnome-desktop'. but that might not be as clean [11:54] hi.how can i determinate is my banto using swap partition or not? [11:54] how do i enable compiz fusion? [11:55] should be enabled by default if you have your video drivers properly installed [11:55] did you install the binary driver from Restricted Driver Manager?

[12:49] niner64: it might be a router i've got [12:49] mr_boo: been though that bull crap many times buy a switch and use seperate card for it [12:50] werden bei dpkg-recnfigure xserver-xorg keine Infos zu GRafikkarte oder Monitor abgefragt? [12:50] niner64: the only folder that appears when i try to access the machine is "PRINT$" [12:51] english please jlu [12:51] mr_boo check that you can ping both machines on both computers FIRST.. if thats a go your fine if not get a timeout error you need to check network equpment [12:51] !de > jlu: [12:51] niner64: a splendid idea [12:51] niner64: if he gets a password prompt, it means the machine is accessible [12:52] mr_boo: how exactly did you share the folder? [12:52] mr_boo that sounds like kinda wierd a port to plug a network print server read your router docs [12:52] excuse me, can anyone tell me what iasl is [12:52] ? === SkyBlade is now known as Pulseaudio [12:52] niner64: also, it hardly has anything to do with hardware [12:53] philsf: he says he gets a "PRINT$" prompt? don't get that [12:53] niner64: it's not a prompt, it's a default thing for windows printer shares [12:54] niner64: google is your friend [12:54] Pulseaudio: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/iasl [12:55] thanks Oli```` [12:55] where i can find x-chat help? [12:55] philsf: i have networked computers with a hub and was only able to go one way before. can ping one way but not the other [12:55] i think that sfire shouldl be given lots of points for helping :D:D spent alot of time with me helping me find a solution to what i was looking for :3 very happy atm, lol [12:56] niner64: ok, he's having trouble with sharing, and the machine is obviously accessible. how is this a hub/switch/router problem? [12:56] niner64: unless I'm missing something [12:56] alin_: have you tried #xchat [12:56] pinging that machine worked like a charm [12:56] AfterDeath, check your PM [12:56] philsf: cuz he said he saw the folder on the xbuntu machine but not the buntu machine ? [12:57] mr_boo: please answer my previous question [12:58] philsf: i'm not doing this in the terminal [12:58] philsf: possibly i am as well lol [12:58] philsf: it's places->network [12:59] Hello Everybody [12:59] i tried samba now [12:59] "failed to mount windows share" [12:59] I am experiencing a weired issue in Ubuntu 8.04 [13:00] not even a password dialog here [13:00] join bwys === b0ha is now known as _saw [13:00] When i shut it down, it is not powering off [13:00] In Vista too it happened. [13:00] mr_boo: could you clarify your problem to me? are you trying to share one folder in ubuntu to a xubuntu, or the other way around? [13:00] philsf: the other way around [13:01] philsf: the folder is already shared from the xubuntu machine [13:01] hi [13:01] philsf: it was easy to ping that machine [13:01] I fixed that issue by disabling Wake On Lan support in my ethernet card. [13:01] mr_boo: so you need to check for precise information on how to properly share a folder in xubuntu [13:01] you should be good now just the config part [13:02] mr_boo: I assume there's a wiki with information on this [13:02] mr_boo, if you want to learn the ins and outs of samba - theres several books on the topic in the repos. in the 'samba-doc' package as well.. I dont know what GUI tools for it xubuntu includes. [13:03] hmm [13:03] the funny thing is that nfs didn't work either === _[PUPPETS]Gonzo is now known as [PUPPETS]Gonzo [13:03] mr_boo: the share is asking for authentication, if you don't want to authenticate you should share with guest_ok, if you want to authenticate, you need to set a smbpasswd in the server [13:04] philsf: ah [13:04] for a linxu to linux machine. nfs is the way to go.. or for just a few file transfers, it pays to learn ssh, and perhaps use scp and/or the sshfs tool [13:04] philsf: a pitfall for the user [13:05] mr_boo: ubuntu changed the way it deals with this in hardy, it's now much easier - I have no idea what xubuntu does [13:05] mr_boo: but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with what niner64 was talking about [13:06] how to extract rar files?it says 'archive type not supported' [13:06] philsf: not that he pinged the machine no i was just eliminating something thanks anyway [13:06] hardandy: sudo apt-get install unrar [13:06] niner64: not to be rude, but that was already eliminated, as I said before === mordof|test2 is now known as mordof [13:06] there's a chance that the "guest" checkbox would sort this out [13:07] gonna try [13:07] Would blacklisting pcspkr on a laptop cause pulseaudio/alsa to think ive got no audio hardware? [13:10] hi folks! my external usb mouse seems to do double clicks instead of single clicks. i am using hardy....is it an xorg config problem? === gardar`away is now known as gardar [13:12] beli: Probably.. I think it is xorg.conf [13:13] beli: You could check your own config file if you understand it, it's at /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:13] this is a general question regarding linux networking file sharing in general [13:13] hi, i´m looking for a aireplay binary for ubuntu. I installed aircrack-ng from synaptic but it does not installs aireplay. Where can i found it? [13:14] PauloZumba: Have you tried 'sudo apt-get install aireplay' in the Terminal?

[13:27] Junkie: Ah, I think you'd be using the native drivers then [13:27] Junkie: I use 945GM, it used Emeraldfine [13:27] garyd: ubuntu linux kernel is modular, so you can include your own modules [13:27] garyd: cheap raid cards perform raid in software (the windows driver). [13:27] garyd: although it doesn't actually answer your question, you might consider software raid, which is certainly of comparable performance to cheap hardware raid, most of which cards are fairly rubbish anyway. [13:28] Anyone know how I can fix this issue? [13:28] Yes, I am okay with software RAID or JBOD. I just need to know who is supported by Ubuntu 6.

[14:08] I do TZM [14:08] klathzazt: well, I don't know anything about a manual install of the nvidia driver, but that sounds silly (on nvidia's part).

[14:15] timo, there will be nothing until you check the configuration and logs. note you will have to restart apache if not done already [14:15] Jack_Sparrow ok then could you please tell me how to do the manual partition for instaling gutsy.ie making partitions for swap, "/" etc. [14:15] Any CVS gurus available to help with SourceForge implementation problem? [14:15] flaccid: timo, and is httpd.conf actually including the phpmyadmin configuration. in what way flacc [14:16] zubu: are you trying toinstall Ubuntu on a windows PC?

[14:17] I'm trying to blacklist some modules from being loaded at boot. I added e100, mii, pcspkr, joydev to "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" but for some reason both mii and e100 are still being loaded. I've rebooted. And each is on its own line, like "blacklist e100"..."blacklist mii" ... is there something I'm missing? [14:17] used1 That may be a bit outdated but the basics should be sound.. no pun intended [14:17] flaccid i have two /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [14:17] /etc/phpmyadmin/lighttpd.conf [14:17] Hi, my gnome crashed today,anyone have any idea?! I'm using hardy heron [14:17] flaccid i know what you mean [14:17] my advice: shrink the WIN partion with Uubntu's tool,then instal on free space. (defrag Windows FIRST) [14:17] onefunk, you having issues with vmware server functioning? [14:17] thanx [14:17] timo, there can only be one unique file in unix [14:18] scunizi, yup sure am [14:18] Jack_sparrow here it is : http://pastebin.com/m22ad956a [14:18] hey, ubuntu installation seems to hang up on me in the middle [14:18] ArashHemmat We need some details about what you were doing and what you mean by crash. ..

It won't compile right? [14:18] i just get "????????" and continue/go back [14:18] scunizi, it seems to have locked down my comupter [14:18] both continue & go back gives me a blue screen [14:19] onefunk, how do you mean? [14:19] Anyone? :) [14:19] flaccid /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty [14:19] think my internet problems more likely to be with checking authenticated servers, or something like that [14:19] zubu You should just use automatic and let it shrink your ntfs as needed.. Make sure you defrag your windows partition first.

[15:18] TZM, it will be moved around as it is a laptop [15:18] and a sexy bot at that, smart too [15:18] Everybody, just note that compositing etc works best with intel chipsets as they are advanced like nvidea, yet they have open drivers. [15:19] bazhang_, i know that, but i feel for what i said [15:19] Anyone know how to change the color of links in gnome? [15:19] TZM, so should i now use the windows drivers and try and blacklist the native drivers? [15:19] links in application windows [15:19] rather than the default blue [15:19] Reverend: one spelled snd-usb-audio and other spelled snd_usb_audio like cat /proc/asound/modules returns [15:19] TZM, I THOUGHT there is a on off switch for roaming mode [15:20] non riesco a rimuovere il pacchetto msttcorefonts [15:20] keri, the drivers supplied with linux are the same as those supplied with windows, so thats y u can observe the same security holes here.

[15:20] sriramoman, and thanks for the point about the intel cards :) === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [15:21] TZM, i dont understand why when its turned on that i cannot pickup any wireless networks to choose from, but i can manually punch in the essid and it works. how stupid [15:21] keri: cant really help as i dont use network-manager, but you should be able to roam, maybe disable the wired card. [15:21] keri: That's how roaming mode works--it picks the open network for you. If you want to choose the network, take it out of roaming mode. [15:22] does anyone know why when i try to ssh into ubuntu server (clean install) it takes almost 20 seconds to respond intiially to the user login? [15:22] bazhang_, the new HCL PCs ( hclinfosystems.in ) are guaranteed to work with ubuntu and have the most compatible hardware by default, if you buy one with intel processor(i mean that the card would also be by default intel's). i've never seen compositing smoother than that in any other vendors' hardware, including dell's [15:22] No joy Legend [15:22] Reverend: what does cat /proc/asound/modules say now? [15:22] hi world [15:23] hello there! [15:23] 0 snd_hda_intel [15:23] 1 snd_usb_audio [15:23] ive done this before but had to blacklist the native drivers to get the window ones to work. i had to punch in a one liner code to get it to turn on then after a few reboots it automatically started working like a charm, picking up on 2 different wireless netowrks to choose from. i dont get it. [15:23] thnks [15:23] hi [15:23] mordof: Try turning off reverse mapping. [15:23] will bookmark sriramoman :) [15:23] Grim76__: how? lol [15:23] this is really annoying, can only use about half the web, pages keep getting stuck [15:23] anyone can help me with the configuration of ATI drivers? [15:23] TZM: Are you saying when you turn OFF roaming mode, you have not wireless networks to choose from in the Network program? [15:23] Reverend: did you spell it snd_usb_audio or snd-usb-audio in aliases? [15:24] keri: ^^\ [15:24] how can I install other screen resolution in my laptop, I have the default resultion768 [15:24] ? [15:24] off or on i dont get any list to appear, only the one command in terminal listed the available networks to pick [15:24] the dashes legend [15:24] - [15:24] keri: when it roams you not supposed to pick the network [15:24] in the login window, it ask me to configure by myself the X server, but after i chose the display, and graphic card, it doesn't keep the changes [15:25] keri: OK, I think I know what the problem is then... is "wlan0" listed in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [15:25] keri: you should just have connection [15:25] Reverend: i think what you enter in aliases has to match what cat /proc/asound/modules says exactly [15:25] okie doke, ill give that a shot [15:25] Reverend: so underscores [15:25] i have 2 wireless netoworks. one is a friggin bar up the street and one is in our shop , i want to pick the one in our shop [15:25] keri: Please see my previous post... [15:26] Reverend: underscores in both [15:26] Should it read snd-card-1, or with underscores? [15:26] so i dont want it to just connect. ok ill do that TZN [15:26] IE: alias snd-card-1 snd_hda_intel [15:26] Reverend: yes same as cat /proc/asound/modules says [15:26] it doesn't say anything with regards to snd-card [15:26] Reverend: yes [15:26] keri: That was a question--is "wlan0" listed in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [15:26] Yes what? :) [15:27] anyone can help me please? [15:27] hello =) [15:27] Reverend: spell it snd_hda_intel and snd_usb_audio [15:27] mordof: Try adding a line to your sshd_config that reads "UseDNS no" [15:27] Yes, but what about snd-card [15:27] should i do snd-card, or snd_card [15:27] is there a irc channel where I can ask questions about xterm ? [15:27] Grim76__ [15:27] Grim76__: kk [15:27] TZM, NO ITS NOT THERE. btw how do i not save changes and exit in vi? [15:28] eraldo, bash or other?

Grub-install said that it had found os's and set it all up, but no joy. I think I may have set it up as for a separate boot partition though. (ie grub install hd0) when I don't have a separate boot partition (at least i don't think I do) --- how do i find out if I do (mothing in fdisk) and how do i fix the problem if I have messed it up?

[15:33] natasha, i had mentioned that ATI has a worse driver than nvidea, so u will face more problems than the other person [15:33] I'll register it now, 2 seconds [15:34] IamSOG Is this an external card reader? === Reverend is now known as ReverendUK [15:34] natasha, i forgot his name [15:34] sriramoman: Not true, I have a Radeon, two of them [15:34] the driver issue has been recently sorted out [15:34] I didn't read his problem [15:34] Anyway .. what can I do! please someone help :( [15:34] I removed the 169 NVidia driver and installed the new 173 driver. X would not start, so I removed that and reinstalled 169 from apt. Now that does not work! Any ideas? [15:35] Ok legend, registered [15:35] AMD has kicked major butt with the Radeon drivers, under ATI they barely functioned at all [15:35] how do you navigate to mounts in terminal? [15:35] I am not sure if it's external Jack_Sparrow [15:35] Baron1984, there are still some problems but it is rare that it causes kernel panics, and moreover there is a possiblility that natasha has not completely updated her system. [15:35] IamSOG There is a possibility that an external usb card reader can see an sdcard as a flash drive and if bootable be used for that [15:35] man it wont let me save it [15:35] IamSOG pendrivelinux.com [15:35] !sudo keri [15:35] Factoid sudo keri not found [15:36] sriramoman, So do you suggest I update?

[15:37] Baron1984, i am not using radeon. i am telling her about a problem that my frnz in another channel told me last week. it could be that it has been resolved now. [15:37] I removed the 169 NVidia driver and installed the new 173 driver. X would not start, so I removed that and reinstalled 169 from apt. Now that does not work! Any ideas?

[15:48] dlozarie, what device is not working for you? [15:49] i have wine, could i just install the windows driver for the graphic card and it would work for ubuntu? [15:49] Problem is, I use a wireless router to connect to the Internet, and my Acer Travelmate 6291 refuses to connect when Ubuntu's installed.

[15:49] chun, it wont work. [15:49] chun: No. Wine is for running windows applications, not for running windows device drivers. [15:49] dlozarie, what driver/chipset [15:49] LogicalDash: maybe if you disable html on compositting. i only use plain text mail and have neither of this problems [15:49] LogicalDash: I will try, thanks.

[15:50] If I'm not mistaken, it's a Broadcom driver for WiFi. [15:50] sriramoman what do you mean by network bandwidth? [15:50] Yes, it's definitely Broadcom. For the Acer Travelmate 6291 laptop. [15:50] dlozarie, pls install the packages that come under "ndiswrapper" in synaptic [15:50] LogicalDash: thanks man, you helped me a lot. [15:51] The Acer website only offers XP and Vista drivers [15:51] chun, if u're on a dialup tell us [15:51] biopo1, thanks, enjoy your pixels [15:51] sriramoman, how do I do that? sorry, but I'm a newbie to linux [15:51] you mean 54k? [15:51] 56 [15:51] dlozarie, no problem. the package i told u is to make use of the windows drivers that u have. [15:51] sriramoman: http://pastebin.com/d213e1312 [15:51] im' not sure [15:51] Then what can i do to fix myRadeon 1950 from crashing whenver i run 3d programs or change to extra effects? [15:51] OK. How do I launch/use that package? [15:52] chun: have you updated your drivers yet? [15:52] yes [15:52] it shows "in use" in the hardware drivers [15:52] dlozarie, go to System->Administration->Synaptic [15:52] chun: Which driver are you using, can you pastebin your xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

I'll be back after I do so. [15:55] dlozarie, u are using vista, are u? [15:55] TZM and would "grub-install hd0" have messed up my partition table?? [15:56] and this one is the log [15:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16416/ [15:56] anyone? [15:56] ubuntu_: When you did that command, what partition (OS) were you in at the time?

[15:57] things like lwiinfo -u and -g work so I think I've joined properly [15:57] thesaint4444: rc is loaded for every shell, profile is only loaded for the login shell [15:57] thesaint4444: I believe that .bash_profile is only executed on non-login shells [15:57] I can also do a kinit on a domain user [15:58] TZM, ok roaming mode is checked and the wireless card isnt detecting anything. but i can manually connect to my wireless. i really need the roaming to work [15:58] thesaint4444: Boohbah is right [15:58] any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm not even getting a message printed in the logs when my user fails to mount a samba share [15:58] EL1A [15:58] TZM - was chrooted into the installed system (i think) --- not sure how to tell...

[15:58] source .bashrc [15:59] chun, there seems to be several errors in the usability in ur log. they will quite definitely be rectified once u update [15:59] ~/.bashrc [15:59] huh? [15:59] Boohbah: thanks... [15:59] thesaint4444: yeah, they're right [15:59] update what? [15:59] thesaint4444: np [15:59] vlt, when u try it, just verify that X works with the new xorg.conf before aborting ur session [15:59] Boohbah: cheers... [16:00] vlt, u can do that by opening a new session elsewhere. [16:00] chun, ur grafix cards drivers! [16:00] but it's updated.. [16:00] chun: Is this an upgrade from a prevous version of Ubuntu/ [16:00] ubuntu_: OK, well just try rebooting, hit the "esc" key as the computer is first coming up, and it should bring up that grub menu, the scroll down and select "Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic" and it should load fine. We can clean up your menu.lst file if that works. [16:00] no, live cd 8.04 [16:01] chun: You're running on the LiveCD? [16:01] ever heard of a wireless card not able to detect wireless ap's in gui mode but detects them using command line? [16:01] no, installed the livecd [16:01] lol [16:01] chun, or else don't use 3D! i can defineitely tell u that these errors wont come in the latest stable drivers available in the repositories. [16:01] TZM, but had to do it from the usb install --- this ll went down after a hardy upgrade from Gutsy - i have optiplex --dells leading headache for me :( [16:01] sriramoman: He is using the latest drivers. [16:01] sriramoman: From the repos. [16:01] TZM - ok --- wil try it... ----thanks :) [16:02] keri, u can use ndiswrapper to use it even in gui mode, provided u have the windows-packaged driver with u. [16:02] ubuntu_: Wait! [16:02] hmm [16:02] chun: Did you touch your xorg.conf at all? [16:02] how do i uninstall the driver i have installed right now ? [16:02] no, i didn't [16:02] sriramoman: hmmm, where exactly to set the resolution? What do all those numbers in the "mode line" mean? [16:02] I keep losing "flash" in firefox and have to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree. Why would this happen?? [16:02] Pici, i then think that the modules for his card have some errors. [16:02] vlt, have u saved the file anyway? [16:03] ubuntu_: That menu.lst you pastebined doesn't show any Ubuntu installs... where did you get that menu.lst? [16:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16415 [16:03] sriramoman: Yes. [16:03] sriramoman, i have to disable roaming mode then put in my essid manually then it will work, with the native drivers. isnt there any troubleshooting i could to to see why the cool ap's arent showing up? [16:03] is there anything wrong with my conf? [16:03] vlt, coz once the file's saved, u can use set the resolutions graphically. [16:04] sriramoman: Aah, I see ... [16:04] I keep losing "flash" in firefox and have to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree. Anyone know why this would keep happening?? [16:04] I want Evolution to insert the message I'm replying to into my reply, each line preceded by a caret. Right now it's putting everything in this awkward table that I can't get out of to insert inline comments. How do I get the behavior I want? [16:04] where in the file system do i check if my acpi=force sticked or not. [16:05] so is there something wrong with my conf? [16:05] chun, just wait for more updates and temporarily avoid using 3d meanwhile. moreover, mail this complaint to the vendor(ATI), as this is proprietery. Pls understand that this is not opensource, so u have to wait for their support [16:05] TZM -- cant get into grub menu by pressing escape. just into grub prompt :( --- the menu.lst was definately from the install drive though. could there be any reason for it not reading the menu.lst (other then the install to hdd command instead of to /boot? [16:05] chun: Not that I can see. [16:05] any difference between the desktop and server platform... I didn't realize the difference and installed the desktop version... its the same software right? [16:05] i wish i wrote those commands down to check my wireless card inside and out [16:05] oh ok [16:05] kernel is different but everytyhing else should be the same [16:05] ? [16:05] i know one was iwconfig [16:06] thanks, but how do i uninstall the ati driver i have installed now? [16:06] keri, could u pls repeat what u said without abbreviations? i was unable to understand "essid", "ap's" [16:06] !u | sriramoman [16:06] what is recommanded to build respins under ubuntu ? I know kickstart (i'm comming from fedora), although I've seen preseed... any recommandation about which to use ? [16:06] sriramoman: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [16:06] amorphous__: OK please give the exact details on what is on your HD. From your menu.lst it only shows you have one partition with Debian installed, not Ubuntu. Is that correct? [16:07] sriramoman, ok essid is the name of the wireless network and ap is access point. or the list of wireless networks available [16:07] sriramoman, error essid is what its called for the name of a wireless network. [16:07] chun, simply don;t use the 3d part of your system. uninstallation is automatic while upgradation/updates and you dont need to manually interfere with anything. [16:08] keri, did you first disable everything and install the windows driver through ndiswrapper? [16:09] vlt, is it functioning properly, now? [16:09] sriramoman, not gone there yet. i have ndiswrapper installed and the winxp driver ready to put in. how do i first blacklist the native driver [16:10] chun: You could try using envyng if you are havign issues with the stock restricted drivers [16:10] how do i run a .run file lol [16:10] TZM no. there is only one system installed - but will be 2 later - Grub2 puts debian in to the menu.lst by default. Grub1 doesn't work on Dell optiplex (think it's a bios bug) [16:10] what if you delete all panels, can you get them back easily? [16:10] sriramoman: No, I saved the file, ran `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` but it didn't ask me for resolutions. Instead it deleted the lines I'd just added. :( [16:11] hello this is keri [16:11] anyone has any ubuntu working with a 63/64mb ram computer? [16:11] vlt, do not run dpkg. use the graphical preferences->screen resolutions once you paste the lines again [16:11] im going to start with disabling i guess the native drivers for the wireless card [16:11] hi! [16:12] amorphous__: So is Debian installed or not? Please be clear. :) [16:12] Can you please add OpenMortal to Ubuntu Repos [16:12] thats cool that xchat is finally free for windows [16:12] ? [16:12] sriramoman: Why can't I set the resolution _before_ I need ti use it? [16:12] *to [16:12] keri, simply uninstall the associated driver through synaptic. you have to do it only if you are very much sure that winxp drivers are not being utilised, though! [16:12] fellun: Ubuntu Lite? http://ubuntulite.tuxfamily.org/ [16:12] for example to universe [16:13] fellun: xubuntu might perhaps work. Not sure. If it works you will have to use the alternate cd text-mode install. [16:13] How do I disable hostname tab autocompletion in bash? I want to keep the filename tab autocompletion. [16:13] sorry TZM - no - debian is not installed. Only 1 system. upgrade from gutsy to hardy. [16:13] vlt, X has to always be restarted in a particular session to activate the new xorg.conf. [16:13] neenaoffline, hi here [16:13] fellun: I used 5.10 for quite a few months on a P3 with 64MB RAM ... [16:13] sriramoman: hi [16:13] sriramoman: I restarted X several times already. [16:14] amorphous: OK, so Ubuntu Hardy is installed on that HD, even though the Grub2 menu.lst says it's Debian? Is this correct? [16:14] vlt, did you do so with the lines i told in xorg.conf? [16:15] TZM, yes, since hardy is debian-based. [16:15] Anyone good with video card issues? [16:15] sparkyy, just see the histry of this conversation [16:15] I have a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GM [16:15] L Express Integrated Graphics Controller. Does it support 3d accelleration on Ubuntu 8 [16:16] sparkyy, it is supported in my dads laptop. [16:16] ok sine the upgrade everything seems to be lagging any ideas why? === chemical is now known as chrisstoz === chrisstoz is now known as christoz [16:16] sriramoman, does it work with 3d games [16:16] sparkyy: yeah, it's supported.. however the graphics controller itself has issues no matter what OS you're on [16:16] mordof, I know it sux as hardware. So I have to disable Desktop effects to play 3d games no? [16:17] vlt, did you change the resolution graphically in gnome(system->preferences->screen resolution) after modifying xorg.conf [16:17] sparkyy: no idea on that one [16:17] mordof, previously in 7.x it would just crash all 3d games === ianbeyer___ is now known as ianbeyer [16:17] sriramoman: I haven't installed gnome [16:18] sparkyy, so far as i have seen, a chipset of yours with 128 or 256M VRAM is the best for any linux, no matter what 3D in what setup you run [16:18] hi guys, If I use visudo and make a change what do I have to do to make the change active for the user? thanks. [16:18] has anyone successfully chrooted BIND on Hardy? [16:18] sparkyy: last i used it on was breezy badger, lol [16:18] sriramoman, How do I find how much ram on video card again? [16:18] amorphous__: I have to go now, so maybe someone else can help you with your problem. [16:18] sriramoman: I inserted your lines to xorg.conf and restarted X. Can you explain the mode line please? [16:19] sparkyy, system->hardware Information [16:19] mordof, I know, this machine is a portable and it has a crappy vid card [16:19] anyone has any ubuntu working with a 64mb ram computer? [16:19] how to install mod_suexec under ubuntu ? [16:19] Where exactly to set the values 1280 and 1024 for resolution? [16:19] Just a heads up for anyone having an issue using nvidia-glx-new and a nvidia 6600 card. I was using my DVI output and could not enable the driver and get X. Reinstalled after changing to VGA and it works perfectly. Now, I'm wondering if I can switch back to DVI. [16:20] sriramoman, you mean systems>> hardware testing? [16:20] vlt, you can change the resolution with some applet or something. BUT DONT USE THE SHELL, IT WILL WIPE OUT THOSE LINES AGAIN. [16:20] sparkyy, no.

[16:27] thesaint4444, the line should be the last one you add..else it has no effect.. [16:27] I am trying to install IEs4Linux on Ubuntu 8.04 (don't ask me why). I'm following this guide: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu . I have installed Wine, Cabeextract and then downloaded and installed the IEs4Linux package. It seems to be installed correctly, but it didn't make any short cut or anything. I simply can't start the program! How do I launch it? [16:27] hi room [16:27] and i was with fedora 9 and now ubuntu, many times have hapenn me in ubuntu [16:27] Hello everyone..can any of u point me to a Ubuntu Themeing Tutorial or stuff like that?

[16:28] sparkyy, you can also check your bios settings. in many cases, even though a card may have 128 mb only 64 may be enabled due to know reason that i know. that will also help you. [16:28] sriramoman: though i'm not sure exactly why you said that - could've been a reason i wasn't really paying attention xD [16:28] bazhang_, Thanks.. [16:28] How can I install higher resolution in my laptop, the ony I have is 800x60 [16:28] sriramoman, I will do that too. [16:28] :) [16:28] ? [16:28] thesaint4444, i mean it must be the last entry in visudo..else the "admin" entry overrides it [16:29] mordof: mine worked right out of the box :) [16:29] anirudh0: When I launche it with Wine, I just get a white screen in Wine. /home/wikzo/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Internet Explorer [16:29] 800x600 [16:29] sfire: lucky, none of mine ever have [16:29] wikzo, you need wine gecko [16:29] mordof, please read today's chat history since past 1.5 hours and you will realise it yourself. [16:29] wikzo, look it up on sourceforge..no deb package iirc [16:29] Hello, if I download the b43-fwcutter package, can I use a bcmwl5.inf file to extract the firmware? [16:29] great [16:30] oops, I meant .sys [16:30] sriramoman: lol x.x; i've been trying to keep up xD that's alot of reading [16:30] even last day i have reinstall ubuntu 8.04 like the 7 time, somethimthing, my connection to the neet holds on , and i ma not reaciving anything , but i now nothing the conection its ok [16:30] since 3d doesn't work i have to go back to windows cuz i can't do any gaming [16:30] Tailsfan, you want the .inf [16:30] anirudh0: Why isn't the Gecko listed in the FAQ for IEs4Linux? [16:30] Can someone help me? My firefox wont load anything but localhost, yet I am able to get on Pidgin. [16:30] how could i find out my chipset details and other hardware? [16:30] wikzo: look in ~/.ies4linux/bin/ [16:30] mordof, Its all because of the proprietary nature of that industry. Closed hardware and until recently closed drivers. Nvida and ATI are getting better. They should just open up the drivers or just release consistently quality drivers for Linux... [16:30] chun: since i got my vid card i didn't even both trying to put linux on that machine, just windows.. [16:30] sriramoman, I just finished updating and restarted, and still having the same damn problem! [16:30] my systems some time also get very slow and i have to rebbot [16:30] i remember there was something like hardware profiles in preferences menu but cant see it any more [16:30] sparkyy: quite true [16:30] wikzo, I do not know [16:30] Can someone help me? My firefox wont load anything but localhost, yet I am able to get on Pidgin. [16:30] OK, because I have the .inf files on my Windows Partition, I will be installing via Wubi, to make sure I don't mess up Windows [16:31] Da91, try pinging google.com [16:31] anirudh0: why would they need gecko for ies4linux? Doesn't make sense to me :/ [16:31] mordof, the summary is that for literally all gfx cards except probably VIA, linux is better in drivers. I dont know any of my frnz for whom aero has worked perfectly. so how will it even work with games on? [16:31] anirudh0: hey, many thanks... moving the entry so it was under the admin entry worked... I have been messing about with that for over a day! many thanks. [16:31] mordof, Its getting better. Ubuntu is also going to make that easier than any other distro. The Free software guys don't tend to help to get a big compromise on moving forward on this either. Sometimes we have to work with companies until they move toward a more OPEN model [16:32] funkyHat, wine uses "wine-gecko" to use ie..it does'nt use the win IE binary..look up google for more info [16:32] hi dudes [16:32] Thanks man [16:32] mordof, Ubuntu has amazing potential [16:32] i remember there was something like hardware profiles in preferences menu but cant see it any more. I need to know the chipset i am using [16:32] thesaint4444, i had the same problem when i did it first..glad it helped [16:32] Does flash work in Ubuntu?

That was my promise. ;) [16:34] thesaint4444, retyping passwords is always a pain..you might like to look at giving root perms only for a specific app though [16:35] It says i already have flash but it wont load any youtube video's i see a blank screen with sometimes a pink color flying all around it [16:35] I can't thank you enough sriramoman.

[16:39] n3uromanc3r: Yes, that's my problem. [16:39] n3uromanc3r: do not think there is an option for that... closest thing is the open terminal here of nautilus [16:39] nose [16:40] One thing that ubuntu needs to add to installed systems is the autoconfig script that it uses in live-version. That will make it more newbie friendly, eg. if someone installs a new graphic driver or so he would then not have to modify xorg.conf manually. [16:40] hey guys [16:40] * kidfoo *sigh* , can't say then, try apt-cache search or something [16:40] I uh accidentally chmod +x * 'd my /usr/bin [16:40] abrahan: haz "/join #ubuntu-es" en tu cliente irc [16:40] I have Flash downloaded, but whenever I go on a site with flash one of two things happen.

[16:42] vlt: are you trying to edit an xorg.conf file??? [16:42] jessica, much better option is to retain "splash", but remove "quiet"..you'll see the messages inside the usplash bix then [16:42] vlt: anytime :) [16:43] n3uromanc3r: I try to set the resolution X should use. `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` failed.

[16:45] alkisg: on the Passwords tab, you should be able to find something to remove the master password [16:46] erUSUL, that problem does not appear when i use lower refresh rates, though [16:46] whois nata [16:46] is there a difference between edubunt and ubuntu server cds? or is edubuntu just the addon cd for ubuntu ? [16:47] afaik only marketing wise [16:47] Vince-0: the difference is what extra (ie. beyond standard Ubuntu) packages come installed by default [16:47] edubuntu also has LTSP IIRC [16:47] kidfoo: LTSP?

[16:57] just chk what all packages related to apparmor are installed [16:57] srira: I know how to do the packaging, was just wondering if I could do so, since it was a default installation as part of the core. [16:58] what's its purpose in life? [16:58] ianbeyer: i have done it (desktop system though) no problems so far. i also use custom kernel without apparmor support [16:58] other than making chroot not work, that is. [16:58] plAzZzZA, welcome to the world of via! i am using same thing. can u pls find the serial no. by System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and tell me? [16:59] ianbeyer: it is a security framework. it imposses adittional restriction to objects (users; programs etc) appart from the classical unix security system [16:59] does anyone know what driver is needed for the orinoco gold to support monitor-mode? [16:59] ianbeyer, that thing is actually for SUSE systems. it is stable there with all yast configs, additional modules etc. [16:59] erUSUL: and apparently breaks the normal way of securing things in the process. [17:00] sriramoman: so what in the heck is it doing on my core ubuntu install? [17:00] plAzZzZA, pls tell me the exact model of ur card [17:00] ianbeyer: well chroot is far from perfct too ;P (or so i heard) [17:00] yes, but at least it works. [17:00] ianbeyer, prbably render it unstable. i've now given you the solution [17:01] uninstall [17:01] ianbeyer: sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor kill [17:01] ianbeyer: sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove should disable for you [17:02] hi, Using Gnome in hardy, is there a way to open files with extension fgeo (file utility detect them as XML) using application Dr.GEO provided that Dr.GEO will not show up the default application for any other XML files? [17:02] pici: or I could just remove the package [17:02] I notice that when I transfer files over bluetooth, my bluetooth mouse gets very little responsive. Is this expected? Shouldn't the bt layer be able to reserve some bandwidth for some devices? [17:02] ianbeyer: True, but I'm not sure what depends on apparmor [17:02] nothing, apparently [17:02] can somebody explain me why i can run this command as sudo? http://rafb.net/p/9mXnLY38.html [17:02] now I just need to grok why bind is still failing - it's at least getting past the apparmor brokennesss with chroot now === Webspot_ is now known as Webspot [17:04] PPKuma: Is pcsx located in /home/youruser/bin ?

[17:08] mad_max02, well, proposed have not been as thoroughly tested as the other repos, so you are more vulnerable to bugs, security flaws, etc. [17:08] PPKuma, certain commands do not work with sudo. try su instead. [17:08] idefix_, what do you mean? [17:08] then I should not keep it enabled. Just to update it for now and then disable it ? [17:08] exit [17:08] sriramoman, which commands don't work with sudo? [17:09] srirmaoman: ok, ill try that [17:09] mad_max02, you could download the package from packages.ubuntu.com and install it without enabling the proposed repo.

[17:12] cygoku, or even a buggy driver. =P bugs are everywhere... Isolate by looking at each problem one at a time from OSI model for example [17:13] idefix_, =/ would be a bit tricky...

[18:12] NewUserOnUbuntu7: Are you on Hardy? Beryl isn't installable as it's been replaced by compiz. [18:12] hardy [18:12] MrObvious: I found the way to launch it [18:12] soundray , with "30-100" or without " ?

[18:13] can i get the same effect as the beryl on the compiz [18:13] soundray: ok [18:14] tyberion, yes. The help file is similar to those avlable in windows itself. [18:14] NewUserOnUbuntu7: I think it does it by default but I don't use it because it makes my desktop unstable. [18:14] m1r: the 1280 resolution should then be available through System-Preferences-Screen resolution [18:14] I removed the 169 NVidia driver and installed the new 173 driver. X would not start, so I removed that and reinstalled 169 from apt. Now that does not work! Any ideas? [18:14] thanks that solve the problem [18:14] default encocding globally in gnome, howto set?

[18:15] u: alright.. im gonna give that one a try then, I guess:) [18:15] tyberion, u can get the pdf in theiur site and their help documentation is also excellent [18:15] vmware server and virtualbox take about the same amount of effort to get working [18:15] soundray: yes, many tnx m8 [18:15] Why evolution has to suck that much? (I can't get it working with gmail imap) [18:15] !yay | m1r [18:15] m1r: Glad you made it! :-) [18:15] MaximLevitsky: I prefer Thunderbird for Gmail IMAP. [18:15] MaximLevitsky: sudo apt-get install thunderbird should get you started. :) [18:15] lol soundray [18:15] MrObvious, I too [18:16] tyberion, and if you have nvidea or ati, just disable the desktop effects. xp will run in native speed! [18:16] soundray: not that i moan, but if i want give my friend a cd to try ubuntu, i surley wouldnt like that he must pass xorg editing to get resolution working , if u understand what i mean... [18:16] I tried that once [18:16] gmail works fine with evolution [18:16] u: big thanks.. i hope i wont make my whole system crash by doing so :) [18:16] m1r, you are using my nickname somewhere. [18:16] u ? [18:16] how can I configure xchat to accept self-signed ssl certificates? [18:16] u: you've got a pretty common nickname [18:16] MaximLevitsky: I never use Evolution so I wouldn't know honestly, but I much prefer Thunderbird since it's multiplatform. === Xorothal is now known as v [18:16] MrObvious, the thing is that thundredbird sucks too when it comes to move a disscussion from thread to thread [18:16] ringer: Maybe the file is owned by "root" or someone else. Try going to a terminal, type "ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash" and see what it tells you. [18:16] u [18:17] v [18:17] !u | u [18:17] u: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..

I don't use it like that. :\ [18:17] m1r: ubuntu expects hardware to be standards-compliant. Your monitor isn't announcing its capabilities properly to the driver. This isn't a usual thing to happen. === v is now known as t [18:17] X-plo: Go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and go to Desktop Effects and disable it totally there. === t is now known as Xorothal [18:18] TZM should i pastebin what it tells me? [18:18] I removed the 169 NVidia driver and installed the new 173 driver. X would not start, so I removed that and reinstalled 169 from apt. Now that does not work! Any ideas? [18:18] TZM: since i dont know what to make of it [18:18] tyberion, surely not it wont crash! there's just a thing yo'uve to do. you have to add the local user names to vboxusr group. Thats done in Systems->Admin->Users [18:18] ringer: Sure. [18:18] MrObvious, I usially use kmail, but now I want to switch to gnome, and besides kmail has its own very annoying bugs [18:18] oh hai [18:18] tyberion, you can even exchange folders xp<->linux [18:18] m1r: what I'm trying to say is 1) it probably won't happen to your friend, 2) it can't be blamed on ubuntu, 3) if it does (or anything else untoward) happen to your friend, send him here... [18:18] Can someone help me mount a smb share network folder in my linux box [18:19] soundray: yes , is old piece of HW so strange that it not detected , while i have 17" from same firm and it is geting detected, or at least it used to in 8.04 beta. i try set it up now [18:19] ubottu, "u" is my nick.

[18:19] I can't I mean === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [18:19] u is talking to a bot [18:19] MaximLevitsky: I'm the wrong guy to ask. [18:19] * MrObvious hops in the shower [18:19] :) [18:19] !u | u [18:19] u: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.

[18:21] Thanks a lot to you, maybe I take another look at thunderbird anyway. [18:21] MrObvious, thanks [18:21] u: search for xpackagex [18:21] is it available in repo? [18:22] Hey guys I need some help bring back up my Broadcom WIRED connection, eth0 doesn't show up in ifconfig -a [18:22] MagicDrumSticks: most times you burn it to a cd, then reboot your computer with the cd still in the drive [18:22] someone help me please [18:22] ahh [18:22] how do I burn it though? [18:22] make an iso? [18:22] jjt009_fubar, is it available in repos [18:22] Just burn files to a disk? or is there a special way I need to burn it? [18:22] magic drum sticks: you have to download a program to burn an ISO [18:22] u: nope, actually my site is down right now [18:22] MagicDrumSticks: you downloaded an .iso file, right? [18:22] !burning | MagicDrumSticks [18:22] MagicDrumSticks: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [18:22] ringer: Well maybe something in those folders is not owned by you. If you want an easy way to delete everything in the trash (both those folders), just do "sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*" [18:23] u: tri again l8r [18:23] TZM: do i have to replace the * with anything? [18:23] the * is a wildcard [18:23] Besides evolution, thunderbird and kontact/kmail, are there any gtk gui mail applications?

[18:24] so how do I run live cd? [18:24] TZM thanks that seemed to work [18:24] MagicDrumSticks: You just download a program that can burn ISOs, then you burn it to a CD, leave it in your CD Drive, and while your computer is starting up, there is a button you press to boot from CD, usually F12 or F10 [18:24] or change the CMOS settings [18:24] ringer: Great. :) [18:24] Josdell thanks for the help man [18:24] then it can boot from CD before HDD [18:25] MagicDrumSticks: you've burned the file to a cd already? [18:25] @ MagicDrumSticks [18:25] Not yet [18:25] I have a dual boot with vista on one partition and xp on the other [18:25] I was wondering how I can fit ubuntu on that [18:25] hi, how can i set a time limit for execution when i call a process in linux?

I don't use vista anyway [18:25] <[Realin]> when i write http://localhot:8081 it shows blank for TOMCAT 5.5 .. please help me :( [18:25] MagicDrumSticks: you have a burning application installed, like Nero Express? [18:25] MagicDrumSticks: during install yo will have to make room for ubuntu on one of the disks [18:26] Can I install ubuntu on a partition with a windows os on it? [18:26] Josdell: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod"? [18:26] MagicDrumSticks: yes [18:26] MagicDrumSticks: While on the live CD there is a Partition Editor in System, Administration [18:26] MagicDrumSticks: sure, just tell the installer to reformat it [18:26] TZM: hold on [18:26] Well see that's the thing [18:26] hi!!!! [18:26] I dont want to reformt [18:27] Any way to do it without reformatting? [18:27] could someone tell me how to check the CPU temperature?? [18:27] MagicDrumSticks: you can try out the live cd without it touching the hard disk [18:27] MagicDrumSticks: why? ubuntu uses ext3, it can't be installed on ntfs [18:27] Does anyone know how I can auto mount my network music folder into a folder called music on my linux box [18:27] Jimcoon, how do I do taht man? [18:27] hello [18:27] !fstab | Xpistos [18:27] Xpistos: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:27] how can I read the temperatures of my system? [18:27] hi hkais [18:28] MagicDrumSticks: that's why it's a "live cd". Once you burn it, you boot from it, and you're in Ubuntu. It doesn't touch the HD unless you tell it to. [18:28] !sensors | hkais [18:28] hkais: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [18:28] ahh I see [18:28] TZM: http://pastebin.com/d823b23e [18:28] MagicDrumSticks: the desktop cd is a live cd. You end up in an ubuntu environment and it won't install anything unless you click on Install Ubuntu [18:28] Boot with windows and install Ubuntu in windows with live-cd [18:28] MagicDrumSticks: it will be quite a bit slower than a hard disk install [18:28] oh [18:29] I see [18:29] Well what I was saying was [18:29] wtf happened lol [18:29] can I install it on my vista partition [18:29] can someone explain what cp -T does?

[18:29] erUSUL: i don't have any "sensor" command.... [18:29] ahh I see [18:29] ok final question [18:29] MagicDrumSticks: back up first [18:29] yes in windows [18:29] Josdell: Interesting--would you also please paste the output of "sudo lshw -C network"?

You'll probably be back here, though. [18:32] erUSUL: Thanks for the help [18:32] but my video card is not working right [18:32] xchat is sadly better than xchat-gnome [18:32] Xpistos: no problem [18:32] In that case jimcooncat, I'll just stay here lol [18:32] jedimind: yes, but I use xchat-gnome because it looks nicer [18:32] Btw where do I get themes, effects, updates to ubuntu === Jeshh is now known as Guest5381 [18:33] !themes | MagicDrumSticks [18:33] MagicDrumSticks: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [18:33] and system updates? [18:33] MagicDrumSticks: FYI another good distro might be PCLinuxOS. [18:33] my nvidia card is not working right [18:33] jimcooncat, i just dislike the fact that i cant get a user list on the right hand side w/ the gnome version - its the only thing and the reason i went back to xchat [18:33] MagicDrumSticks: And Mepis. [18:33] MagicDrumSticks: WHen you go into the Live CD, there is something called a Partition Editor, go to that before the Install, inthere, unmount Your harddrive(don't worry) and and select the Vista partition, and choose to resize it, from there you can make an extra partition for Ubuntu, without losing Vista [18:33] donnell [18:33] MagicDrumSticks: But I like Ubuntu because it has a huge user base and any problem I have had has been had before by someone else and solutions have been found. [18:33] Mepis?

Try doing "sudo modprobe b44" and tell me if it returns any errors. [18:36] jrib I can't get to system > etc but I have no menu bars!

Just visit a page that requires flash in firefox and click on the yellow bar [18:48] jrib: Yeah, I guess the error in the confige should say it aswell, but I've been reading alot now, and I don't see what the specific problem is...

[19:06] fu: First you need to create a partition on your hard drive for FreeBSD to live on (I recommend using the GParted live CD for this because it supports non-destructive resizing). As always when partitioning, back up your data! A wrong step will ruin your system. After you've partitioned your HDD in stall FreeBSD to the new partition. If you're lucky it'll create a bootloader entry for Ubuntu. If it didn't I'd recommend reinstalling [19:06] ivotedkodos: how about "sudo aptitude purge gnome-panel && sudo aptitude install gnome-panel" ? [19:06] How can i play music control?

[19:12] ivotedkodos: sorry, that's about the limit of my knowledge in that area. I would personally reinstall gnome, but that would most likely be overkill. [19:13] what is Eclipse? [19:13] an IDE [19:13] what is an IDE? [19:13] integrated developer enviroment [19:14] or so... [19:14] hank221: Sorry, haven't used it [19:14] so what is Eclipse used for? [19:14] great for programming java [19:14] vestel: thanks anyways [19:14] jimcooncat: There is no "overkill". There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload". How do I re-install gnome? [19:14] ah ok, do you know why Thunderbird keeps loading old mails? [19:14] *helps* programming java if you are an advanced java programmer [19:14] Anza: Programming and development with more languages [19:14] anza: also great for programming in a lot of other languages too. [19:15] i guess you are using IMAP and not pop3 ? [19:15] I am not a programmer, I can barely use ubuntu [19:15] keeping the mails on the server instead of downloading them? [19:15] it's POP3 I guess [19:15] then you should check if thunderbird has an option telling him to leave the mails on the server [19:16] out of memory on ubuntu 7.10 can you give me some ideas ................ [19:16] fenriz: If I should learn to program and not for internet software... should I still learn java? I only know of azuerus being a java-program that isn't a browser-software [19:16] I set it to keep the mails in the server till I manually delete them, but the thing is... thunderbird would download old old mails as they were new [19:16] pawel30364: Make a bigger swap partition. [19:16] i programm lots of java and not one application for the web [19:16] ivotedkodos: I'm not sure but it probably wouldn't be hard to research. [19:16] Anyone else know how to reinstall gnome? [19:17] fenriz: Would you say it's better as a beginner to try java instead of c++? [19:17] Its a pretty universal language... just not that good for system close programming... there i would prefer c++ [19:17] c++ is a little harder to learn... but gives you great fundamentals [19:17] serve settings: leave messages on server, till I delete them [19:17] vestel: So now that it is done downlaoding, how do i open it? (Sorry for the bother) [19:18] gronne: Me thinks it's better to start with python [19:18] Anza: tell him to delete the online mails... [19:18] ok.. but I'm the guy that gives up too fast if it refuses to work :) [19:18] vestel: python is more simple than java as well, right? [19:18] hank221: after the download apt tool will install, so you'll find them through menu [19:19] gronne: if you want fast results, then python, ruby, tcl rather than java and c++ [19:19] "simple" is not the right word... but I guess it can get you started a little bit quicker [19:19] fenriz, where? [19:19] gronne: I would disagree. Java is a fantastic starting programming language on my opinion. [19:19] MrObvoius:now way after the biggest swap is full it is also crashing again === Tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [19:20] gronne: Yes, it is. Personally think that it is the language for learning HOWTO program, and Java/C++ are languages to CREATE an applications [19:20] It is a simple(ish) start of the fundamentals for most other programming languages.

[20:58] TZM: no matter if the extension is different or not [20:58] MrKeuner: So you mean when you run .fgeo and .xml files they both open in that Dr. Geo program now? [20:58] TZM: yes [20:59] TZM : http://pastebin.com/m6a4c70da [21:00] MrKeuner: Well, like I mentioned you could always write a really short shell script that would just check the extension of the file and load Dr. Geo only if the extension is .fgeo, and load something else if it is .xml. But probably you don't have any experience with bash scripting, right? :) [21:00] ( I hope the Christ this will work ) [21:01] hello [21:01] TZM: I do and I can but I do not think that's an effective of doing this [21:01] cygoku: OK, what does "ndiswrapper -l" return?

[21:01] minimec: I followed your instructions and the Configuration Instructions, but nothing changed [21:01] TZM : Nothing :S [21:01] i get weird error messages while installing [21:01] TZM: I was hoping that gnome would have a library of identifying files better than file utility [21:01] blumm: Please watch the langauge here, thanks [21:01] (most of the stuff I had to do had to do with the keyboard any way o.O ) [21:02] MrKeuner: I agree that it is a hack, but it would work nonetheless.

I really don't know how Gnome does it truthfully.

Downstairs, it is a wired hookup, upstairs its wireless. both use one modem (2WIRE08) and it is broadban. PlEASE HELP! Im sorta new to linux, if that matters :). [21:08] lo all. Any reason why my ubuntu theme has gone all gnome defaulty, and I can't change it (ie. Human is still selected) [21:08] ? [21:08] TZM : Yes I can, I am trying to download that driver first, but this wireless only gives me 1 Mb / s, that's why I need to do this. [21:09] minimec: When I tried that that totally screwed things up.... wrong Reslotion etc. [21:09] cygoku: OK well let me know when you get the driver downloaded. [21:09] TZM : Pages takes 5 minutes to load, you could direct link me ! :) [21:10] minimec: hmm weird... I am sure I activated the Restricted Drivers, but in the menu it shows me "not in use" :-? [21:10] Hello??? can someone please help me! [21:10] cygoku: Don't you have the CD for you wireless card that came with your computer? [21:10] !ask [21:10] 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. :-) [21:10] chad:just ask [21:10] MrPink: Reboot your computer. [21:11] minimec: Complete reboot? (I think I've done that since then, but I will try [21:11] TZM : No, I am at work, and I am suppose to use this wireless to work :/ [21:11] Im having touble with hooking up a LAN connection between 2 computers. both are runnung ubuntu 8.04. can anyone help with how to hook them up? Downstairs, it is a wired hookup, upstairs its wireless. both use one modem (2WIRE08) and it is broadban [21:11] anybody know anything about sound in firefox/browsers? i have no sound from audio sgtreams, but sound from vid streams. ---new hardy upgrade. [21:11] chad, you'd need to be more specific [21:11] TZM : And right now it's screwing my day and my boss isn't happy. [21:11] minimec: So make sure restricted Drivers are NOT active? [21:11] Have switched all drivers to Alsa in Sound config, and install libflashsupport, but no joy [21:11] chad: what are the computers connected to? is the downstairs one connected to the dsl modem/router? Also, what is your wireless AP? [21:12] chad:for internet connection, file sharing? [21:12] MrPink: Looks like your xserver-xorg configuration on the console was successfull but you are still runnung the old gdm-session [21:12] cygoku: So you don't know where to get the Windows driver for your card? [21:12] I killed GDM and had to log in new again... but ok Ill reboot [21:12] nvm i got it, that is one f'd up hdd to get out lol [21:13] zeroXten, they are connected to a dsl modem. one is wireless, the other wired. I need to be able to share files between them like in windows, where you click on they're computer from 'my network' [21:13] TZM : I know, but pages takes 5 minutes to load because of this ... [21:13] MrPink: Let's see... [21:13] chad:samba === barbarian-irc__ is now known as barbarian-irc [21:13] HI ! [21:14] cygoku: Can't you just download them on another computer and put them on a USB stick or CD instead? [21:14] zeroXten, also, lierox doesnt work via LAN because they cant connect. Do I download Samba? And if so, how do I use it (if there is a GUI to configure it ill figure it out) [21:14] chad: are you asking how to get the actual IP communication? or specifically how to share files? [21:14] !samba | chad [21:14] chad: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:14] basicly to connect [21:15] right, so your machines can't even talk to eachother? e.g. ping? [21:15] minimec: No difference after reboot :-( [21:15] minimec: Should I post my Xorg.conf to pastebin ? [21:15] MrPink: Yeah ;) [21:15] minimec: Sorry for the hassle :-/ [21:16] MrPink: np [21:16] ubottu, will this work from a ubuntu - to -ubuntu OS connection? [21:16] chad: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:16] chad: yes it will [21:16] Can someone please tell me how to add an entry in grub loader to include a 2nd OS on a seperate drive? [21:16] chad: although, nfs might be simpler ;) [21:16] TZM : No, it's my personal laptop and no one else as the same. [21:16] -_-" this has probally been asked a million times, but I am way to tired to look everywhere. My PC (sitting next to me) has a WMP54G linksys wireless card in it... how can I get this thing working -_-" [21:16] zeroxten, so which one do i use? [21:16] hello, i have installed compiz and proprietary drivers for my nvidia geforce 8400 GS, all the effects are working flawlessly, only thing is my desktop is unresponsive to change, can anyone help me? [21:16] TZM : What is it for you to get a link for me ? [21:17] how would I go about installing KDE 4.1 beta in Ubuntu Hardy? [21:17] carefully [21:17] Beawolfe: which OS ? [21:17] chad: if you're likely to need to access the files from a windows machine, use Samba. [21:17] i know, that was helpfl [21:17] ful*, damnit i cant type [21:17] guys, Im getting error messages appearing whilst copying from an 80 gig ntfs disk to a 160 gig ext3... stuff like DRDY ERR and ICRC ABRT. anything to worry about? it seems to be continuing to copy anyway... [21:17] I have Ubuntu 7.10 and am adding PCLinuxOX2007 [21:17] stop using jedi mindtricks to type then jedimind ;) [21:18] "this isn't the key you're looking for" [21:18] zeroXten, both computers use ubuntu 8.04 for everything, but how would i connect them both? using which one? [21:18] the force does not convey to irc standards. [21:18] cygoku: I think if that is your attitude you'll have to get someone else to help you. [21:18] TZM: GNOME can indeed be educated to differentiate between different XML files. This is what I got so far. I'll look further when I have time. take care [21:18] Beawolfe: it should be an entry similar to one of the ubuntu ones but you have to put the correct file names for the kernel and initrd [21:18] chad: both would need samba installed if you'd want to share in both directions. but unless both have network connectivity its gonna be kinda hard [21:19] anyone have any ideas? [21:19] minimec: http://www.pastebin.org/40136 [21:19] MrKeuner: Where did you get that info? === Havocc is now known as zerodamage [21:19] Beawolfe: and the correct root parameter of course === Bappenator is now known as ben____ [21:19] GIMPNet #Gnome [21:19] TZM : Done it is downloaded. [21:19] Is anyone free to help me with my wireless in Ubuntu (8.04, wireless card: PCI WMP54G) [21:19] zeroXten: using the one dsl modem, it worked with windows, if you have ever used windows, you might know what i mean. they both connect simulatniously. okay though, ill install it on both. [21:19] Is there a way to do an automatic update via cron on Ubuntu server 8.04? [21:19] hi jack_sparrow! [21:20] Hey Ben [21:20] zeroXten, haha [21:20] irc://irc.freenode.net/limesurvey [21:20] what's the default LDA on an ubuntu mail server? [21:20] anyone there to help? [21:20] !cron | zerodamage [21:20] zerodamage: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [21:20] minimec: Did you get ? (just to make sure we didn't miss each other :D ) [21:20] MrPink: You are definitly using the the default driver and not the restricted driver. What card do you have? [21:20] Radeon 9600 Pro [21:21] so ATI [21:21] zerodamage: yep put the correct commands "sudo apt-get -q -y update && sudo apt-get -q -y upgrade" i guess [21:21] Rat409: I know how to do cron. The tutorials say how to do it but it doesn't work. It cannot find something and fails to complete the process. [21:21] zerodamage: -y assume yes may be dangerous though [21:21] erUSUL: -q? [21:21] Have switched all drivers to Alsa in Sound config, and install libflashsupport, but no joy [21:21] let me look that one up [21:21] zerodamage: quiet [21:21] anyone mind saying what switch do i need to use on cp to overwrite files? [21:22] TZM : Doing ndiswrapper -l gives me error saying that the 2 lines that you asked me to add to blacklist are BAD. [21:22] i still only have sound in video in browsers ---nothing for audio streams :/ [21:22] chad: ignoring linux for a second, how good is your networking knowledge? [21:22] MrPink: Ok ;) I have a Radeon 9600 Mobile. CAn you run compiz? [21:22] yes [21:22] erUSUL: I was in last night and asked and was told when I installed PCLinuxOS to not let it install grub or it would overwrite original and I would lose the drive so I stopped the install from writing the grub for the new install and now it doesnt show up at all [21:22] jedimind, shame i couldn't work out how to do the hand shifty thingy [21:22] Hi! I have an encrypted file system using crypttab. However, the filesystem is never fsck:ed upon start up. Why's this? How do I enable fsck after I've decrypted the volume? [21:23] zeroXten, its not that hard to be honest, but the hand is just a tool, the real shifty part comes from the soul [21:23] erusul: I really do no twant it set to quiet. I have the output dump to a log file so I can be assured it works. It digves me a dpkg related error about not finding a path. [21:23] minimec: Compiz seems to work fine... just when I open / close or drag windows it laaags really bad ( I thought it could be the screens refresh rates that were reseted or something, but when I look under Screenresolution it shows me 75 Hz which should be ok, right? ) [21:23] MrPink: I would dactivate it with the ATI driver of xorg. The restricted Driver is much better with 3D but has a bug with the ATI 9600 series. [21:23] ... [21:23] so would i be shunned if i paste a url to a portfolio im workin on just to get 1000 people to comment on it? ;0 [21:24] The following packages will be upgraded: [21:24] cpp gcc libmysqlclient15off mysql-common [21:24] 4 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

[21:25] Anyone able to help me with my linksys wireless PCI card? [21:25] PCI or pcmcia ? [21:25] minimec: So where do I find the ATI Xorg or what do I have to do.... ? (sry for the dumb and many questions :D) [21:25] Devastater, do you know what the exact chipset / model it is ? [21:25] not sure if all of that got out [21:25] but it fails to complete the update [21:26] Hello all [21:26] jedimind: WMP54G-CA (I think the CA stands for canada, but I could be wrong :/) [21:26] mmiski:hello [21:26] Anyone know why it would fail at that point? [21:27] minimec: Where or what is launchpad and where do I find it ? :-? [21:27] MrPink: I only use the xorg ATI-Driver without compiz. That gives me a normal Desktop with glx acceleration. That's it. The fglrx driver is buggy with the ATI 9600 cards. [21:27] zerodamage:are you using sudo? === zera_ is now known as Gohalien [21:27] server freenode.net [21:27] barbarella: sudo crontab -e [21:27] well it was all working just fine before I activated the restricted Drivers...

Is there a way to make it stick? [21:28] minimec: so there has to be a way to get back to where I was 2 hours ago -.- [21:28] What nice program there is in ubuntu to burn cd ?

[22:21] tim1, I was serious regretfully you are now gone [22:21] slart in a good way mate [22:21] and he's gone again.. [22:21] that was quite funny though... [22:21] =) [22:21] here's my /etc/network/interfaces file - http://paste2.org/p/34658 [22:22] hmmm. [22:22] sh1te! [22:22] danbhfive: the thing about adobe and flash? [22:22] I've got a problem with ssh and keys. [22:22] I'm trying to log into ssh server as root via public-private key mechanism [22:22] sobersabre, if you didn't use language and actually expressed on one line what you wanted to do maybe I would be able to help [22:23] I've generated both keys on my ubuntu 8.04 (updated to the latest as of now ssh/ssl ) [22:23] and ran sshd with LogLevel DEBUG3 [22:23] this is the output: [22:23] http://pastebin.com/d703f5bba [22:23] Slart: yeah, if the package d/l's the plugin from the website, why would it become different from whats on the website? [22:23] Does anyone use zsnes? I found out stuff about the sound but still don't know how to get it to use my controller. [22:23] well that didn't go well [22:23] root cannot login, it's being asked for a password. [22:24] sobersabre, we don't have root [22:24] howdi! is there any repository with compiz 0.7.6? [22:24] suppose I have an URL, how can I download a file over the cmd line [22:24] Any ideas why I am not able to shut down properly? When I click on the Turn-OFF->Shutdown, it seems to hang. I left it for over 30 minutes and it never shut down. Today I did sudo shutdown now from CLI and got the ksplash with progress bar as if it were stuck on 90% during Start UP rather than Shut down. [22:24] Stayed there... [22:24] Terabyte, wget,curl [22:24] first time, I run a check CD and it's fine, then I ran a memtest for ~15 minutes and that was fine. start the install, it finishes loading, then it reboots [22:24] JuJuBee: yes [22:24] So I tried it again, and it hangs at ~95% [22:24] Care to share? [22:24] ompaul: I don't understand.... so it's kicked by PAM ? [22:24] I mean, I can run "sudo su -" [22:24] and become root. [22:24] I reboot manually, and I get a bios error (looking for cd/floppy but can't find either after I take out ubuntu cd cause it was hanging on that) [22:24] hi, do i need inbound port 22 open if I want to connect to an SSH server? [22:24] danbhfive: it downloads the plugin from adobes site.. and expects it to have a certain md5sum.. ie... the package was created in say december -07 and expects to find version X of the plugin.. with some special md5sum . [22:24] JuJuBee: system - session - check if "power daemon" is turned off [22:25] I just installed vmware-server, when I try to open the vmware server console I get this error: 'failed to execute child process 'vmware' (permission denied)'... what do I need to do to fix that? [22:25] I reboot again, try to install ubuntu yet again, and it reboots itself [22:25] so, if SSH allows root "without-password" via public key, why would I not be able to login ? [22:25] any thoughts? :X [22:25] JuJuBee: if it's off, turn it on [22:25] Slart: ah, ok, I think I get it [22:25] sobersabre, you don't need root you should log in as yourself and upgrade your access as required using sudo [22:25] lo everybody i switched to ubuntu from the commercial vista! all looks very well im really exited about ubuntu but exists there any type of written text reconize daemon which scans my writings on tablet? [22:25] danbhfive: but adobe has since updated the plugin on their site so when the package downloads the plugin today it gets version Y.. with a new md5sum [22:25] Hello, what would be the best way to have an Ubuntu 8.04 box email me it's IP address? It is on cable and the IP changes from time to time. [22:25] ompaul: I have a bunch of scripts, and they must be run directly as root from specific host. [22:25] danbhfive: and they haven't updated the package for the older versions of ubuntu.. it works on hardy.. or it works until adobe changes the plugin again [22:25] I don't care much about security in that sense. [22:25] choward: dyndns [22:25] it's a matter of convenience. [22:26] use a dynamic hostname [22:26] .. hostname for the dynamic ip I mean [22:26] abyss: I doubt it.. but there might be [22:26] ompaul: so, do I now edit ssh in pam.d ? [22:26] sobersabre, please don't use an enter after each couple of words [22:26] it's a bunch of clients u can use, that updates the hostname automaticly [22:26] Slart: yeah, I didn't realize it checks the md5sum [22:26] sobersabre, let me look at that paste again [22:26] ok, sorry. so do you know why ssh doesn't allow me in ? [22:26] wild_oscar : says start at boot, but currently not running... [22:26] Slart, and how it could be named? :) [22:27] can anybody give me some help with vmware-server? [22:27] choward: zoneedit.com is another website for that kinda thing [22:27] it seems as if the public key is rejected, as if being generated by the vulnerable ssh server. [22:27] choward: there is a mailing program for the command line.. you could use that together with.. say ifconfig and some bash magic [22:27] JuJuBee: tick it [22:27] Slart that was my first thought. [22:27] sobersabre, yeah you did not set it up right from what I am reading give me three or four mins and I will be back and ask you to go #ubuntu-classroom to check out how you set it up and then advise you on changes cos it is a simple but multi lined process [22:27] abyss: OCR something perhaps [22:28] is there a way that I could get my USB headset (5.1 headset) to work properally [22:28] I am just iffy on the cli mail client to use to send the output of ifconfig. [22:28] and my webcam (which is actually a digital camera) [22:28] wild_oscar : sorry? in System Settings - > System Services ? Tick? [22:28] ompaul: thanks, you can tell me in the sense that I'm sure I'll understand what to do as long as you tell me what, "i know my way around", but I am missing something PAMish probably. [22:29] joining ubuntu-classroom though, as you've requested. [22:29] application has vanished from my main menu and alacarte is not working either, whats up [22:29] hey! How do i setup a VNC or VPN???????? [22:29] choward: give me a minute.. I'll see what I can whip up [22:29] gdm login manager dont start on fresh install, how can i troubleshot it =? [22:29] JuJuBee: system - preferences - sessions: startup programs - power daemon [22:30] hey everybody [22:30] my USB 5.1 headset is not 5.1 :( [22:31] I'm going nuts not being able to fix my software... could someone please tell me what's wrong if I pastebin my log? [22:31] wild_oscar : I must be blind, are you talking about System Setting under the K-Menu? [22:31] gronne: please, pastebin the log. someone might know [22:31] does anybody know how to make avant window navigator start when the desktop starts after login? [22:32] i really wanna join your ranks - but apparently io cant becauyse im mac and for whatever reason i have to uninstall vist completely befote i can use bootcamp to install it properly? [22:32] MadHag: preferences - automatically startAWN on login ;) [22:32] wild_oscar, never saw that :) thanks === gokee2_ is now known as Gokee2_Laptop [22:33] welcome [22:33] and that means reinstalling nuance dragon naturally speaking 9 preffered and starting my voicefile from cratch [22:33] Ok danbhfive! http://paste.ubuntu.com/16488/ at the end it says all dependencies could not be satisfied [22:33] odd sound problem - when I login, i'll hear the sound of my tv card for half a second before the login sound. any ideas why? [22:33] i love pardus:) [22:34] wild_oscar, that option is not there [22:34] How do i make a incrypted proxy server [22:35] choward: try the package sendemail, "sudo apt-get install sendemail" [22:35] MadHag: right click - preferences; general - startup behaviour? [22:35] :( my vivicam 3632 does not work [22:35] hi [22:35] i need some assistance please [22:35] could i possibly use an imaging program to take an image of the vista partition and (i have superduper for mac) and take an imag of vista - blow it away like it wants me to with bootcamp and then put it back when ubuntu is installed? [22:35] as I understand it, ALT+SysRq+P is supposed to do a register dump on the console. I seem to get a line saying "register dump", but the actual dump only shows up on /var/log/messages. What's up? [22:35] slart, did it in the end, used wget to get the tar.gz, unziped it, and installed it, thaks [22:36] when i restarted my laptop it blinked several times and a screen came up saying that it is going into "low graphics mode, it is not using the nvidia driver properly [22:36] wild_oscar, I dont have start up behavior?? [22:36] gronne: sorry! I have no idea. clearly, the MODULES thing is where its failing. Maybe you could look at that file, or contact the napkin devs [22:36] How do i make a encrypted proxy server [22:36] choward: then you can write something like this in a cronjob or on a terminal, "sendEmail -f from.address@domain.com -t to.address@domain.com -u subjectofthemail -m "This is the actual message" -s mailserver.domain.com:port [22:36] MadHag: what do you have? [22:37] hi was confused what option do i choose to install a plugin java. what's best for me the openjdk or just the defualt one??? ty [22:37] danbhfive: Sure it says no on the module, but are you sure it's the specific reason it's giving the error? [22:37] MadHag: can you photo paste bin it? http://pb.ucoz.com/photo/ [22:37] wild_oscar, lot of choices but not start up behaviour [22:37] ok [22:37] http://www.jstickland.ca/a51 proof that 90% of the worlds population will be exterminated [22:37] http://www.jstickland.ca/a51 proof that 90% of the worlds population will be exterminated [22:37] http://www.jstickland.ca/a51 proof that 90% of the worlds population will be exterminated [22:37] wild_oscar: I am using kubuntu, I know this is #ubuntu, but got no response in #kubuntu [22:37] skeletaal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] skeletaal: Thats nice, but this is a support channel, don't flood, and perhaps concider joining #ubuntu-offtopic [22:38] gronne: thats what it looks like. It gets a no, and then crashes out. that dependencies message is pretty generic [22:38] ??? what's best java plugin should i install??? is it the GCJ web browser plugin ( open java jdk ) or the the normal GCJ web browser??? ty [22:38] I downloaded modules called ftdi_sio but I don't know how to install them.

I'm getting terrible bass response from my speakers. I had this before, and it had to do with the system raising one of the levels over 100% and I had to load a mixer that was obscure and hard to get to and just bring it down below 100 and back up to 100 to get it to set at or below 100 and it was fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone? [22:40] JuJuBee: yes [22:40] lusius: np [22:40] Bummer [22:40] hi, how can i find a mail server distro [22:40]  JuJuBee: yes [22:40] gronne:where form this file you get?

[22:41] but im having this problem i can't fix :( im trying to watch a video, but all videos fucks up and shows only half of the capture xD [22:41] I do not like forcing a hard shutdown [22:41] gronne: wait just a minute :-) [22:41] how? it doesn't work for me. how do i make it use java or remove iced tea? [22:41] i don't want to watch 50% of the shining xD [22:41] JuJuBee: have you tried going to one of the ttyts? like 1 6 or 8? [22:41] how do i send "CTRL+A" while in gnu-screen? [22:41] Amiga68: OK :) this was the exact spot I downloaded it from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=32425&use_mirror=kent&filename=ftdi_sio-1.3.3.tar.gz&76589569 [22:41] I tried shutdown now from CLI and did not work [22:42] JuJuBee: I think that ttyt 6 has all the shutdown messages [22:42] where is the AssaultCube executeable at? Cube Server Lister keeps asking for it but I can't find it. [22:42] JuJuBee: "sudo shutdown -h now" should shut your machine down [22:42] But why not from GUI? How do I figure out why it won't... [22:43] JuJuBee: haha...wtf? [22:43] how would i find out exactly what model of a powerbook G4 i have? [22:43] I only see the top half of the video while the rest of my screen is blank. ... [22:43] wtf! [22:43] JuJuBee: the usual? check system logs, error messages etc etc.. oh.. and yea.. the ubuntu forums is down, it seems [22:43] ive told add/remove to remove iced tea, will this make sun default automaticly - it's installed [22:43] Amiga68: I "think" I downloaded the right file... the readme only says I need the "ftdi_sio" kernel module... Should be the file I donloaded, right? [22:43] what spawns the network manager? the damn thing keeps relaucnhing my network card when I donn't want it to [22:43] M1DLG: can't you use.. update-alternatives or whatever it's called? [22:43] I am not familiar with the logs... which one to see what is happening at shutdown?

[22:44] xaxa this is funny! I changed to tty and then back to GUI and login sound started playing :) [22:44] mmmmmmmk strange issue on this install attempt [22:44] MadHag: lol! [22:44] no damage though [22:44] OK. I will try to shutdown then after a restart, look at syslog. [22:44] why does ubuntu randomly stop automounting my windows drive? [22:44] it loads the kernel, then the loading bar starts making progress. It gets to ~90% or so, then collapses into a BIOS thing saying I've got a bad bios checksum, and needs a floppy or cd to recover [22:44] wild_oscar, typical heh! [22:45] If I take it the ubuntu live cd and reboot back into windows, everything works fine [22:45] I've run the CD Integrity check thing and it finds no errors.

Is it an ISO image of Windows XP needed for VMWare Tools? [22:46] kamashadi, if you install the ia32-libs package the 32 bits package will work fine [22:46] anyone else have the firefox 3 beta 5 random closing? [22:46] puff: that page is correct [22:46] Slart, whats the name? [22:46] you just need to install it with the force option, from the command line [22:46] Slart: There's a set of keyboard shortcut mappings for gimp that make it more photoshop-user-friendly. [22:46] Amiga68: ahh too bad. As I wrote earlier, the readme told me I need the "ftdi_sio" kernel module... maybe I got the wrong file?

I have just tried to install 8.04 on my laptop. the installer hangs after specifying the keyboard layout, at "loading program for partitioning" -- "determining file systems" (got german masseages, translation mine); Is this a known problem? Can I skip thissomehow? I don't need to change partitions, just pick one. however, it does scare me a bit... [23:02] download iso file, and make a live cd "parted magic' [23:02] can anyone help me out [23:02] angshu369: with what? [23:03] quit [23:03] ok [23:03] I just update HH and Ctrl-Alt-F1 no longer gets me a login: just a blank text-mode screen. What's likely going on? [23:03] help about what?

[23:04] but i was also wrong^ [23:04] Xecuter: but perhaps wrong :P [23:04] puff: must try that too :] [23:04] thanks let me try [23:04] hello there, i was hoping i could get some advice. I was using vim to edit a file through an ssh session. I cut a large block of text and (unfortunately) saved and quit. I opened a new file and tried to paste what I cut and only 50 of the probably about 120 lines were pasted. Is there a way to get the rest? [23:04] so, no one uses Reiser4 here? [23:04] <^root^> okay, 2 very very stupid questions, but don't ask me why I wanna do it. 1. How can I forcefully allow autologin as root, 2. how can I disable that warning about using other accounts at every root login... [23:05] hurm whats the command to mount a drive on /dev/sdb1 (type fat32) with read+write access? [23:05] i like this room u guy r too helpful [23:05] sorry [23:05] puff: i was just bored of bitchx ;] [23:05] coz i am really new user to ubuntu [23:05] ^root^, can i ask why you want that? [23:05] Starnestommy: i think http, what do i do exactly [23:05] ^root^: you cant [23:05] ^^ [23:05] ^root^ you mean autologin without X? [23:05] m_newton: first, install apache2 [23:06] lab_rat: erc is emacs irc. [23:06] angshu369: this room is helpful because it's quite full :) [23:06] Starnestommy: done [23:06] lab_rat: It's all I use :-). [23:06] <^root^> Xecuter: just want that, I don't know, but I want, and I head that we can do everything with linux, and I want to see... :P, Stroganoff, yup with X11 [23:06] now i have one more question [23:06] can i make a web page [23:06] with Ubuntu [23:06] ^root^, you can do the same with a regular user, just use sudo [23:07] angshu369: what do you mean, make a web page? [23:07] <^root^> Xecuter: nope, I want root :P [23:07] angshu369: you first need a web server program that can serve pages. apache can do that [23:07] i mean [23:07] !root | ^root^ [23:07] ^root^: 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 [23:07] ^root^: no, you don't [23:07] ^root^ you can do everything if you are able. [23:07] like my own website [23:07] ^root^, then log in as root [23:07] Starnestommy: Yup, i am currently hosting on a web server, i have my website through no-ip [23:07] Starnestommy: on my webserver, that is [23:08] m_newton: I'm looking for a guide on giving apache proxying capabilities. [23:08] If you want to turn Ubuntu into Debian ^root^, why not just run Debian? [23:08] angshu369: you would not use ubuntu, you would use some external or webbased program [23:08] <^root^> hmmm,..... I see... what if I have succeeded in doing that, is there an award? :P (just asking so I may or may nor pursue :P ) [23:08] ok [23:09] Starnestommy: basically i want to connect to my computer from another computer that blocks ssh, i want to connect through port 80, I think i need a proxy, Am i correct?? [23:09] <^root^> ArthurArchnix: who wants to do that? I am running LTS8.04, and very happy [23:09] puff: is erc in emacs v21.4a? I've to get emacs22 to use rcirc [23:09] m_newton: yes [23:09] ^root^, award for what? [23:09] angshu369: if you fancy typing the HTML, you could use the default text editor (gedit) found under Applications>Accessories>Text editor (drag and drop to a panel for quick access); If you'd rather use a graphical HTML editor, try NVU, it's quite good. You can also export decent HTML pages from OpenOffice documents. :-) [23:09] thanks [23:09] does anyone know of a way you could compare two large directories to make sure that they are a perfect match? [23:09] any clues about my installer problem? this is a complete show stopper :( It looks a bit like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/220476 but i don't have an usb driver involved. [23:09] Launchpad bug 220476 in ubuntu "partition editor in hardy installer does not launch" [Undecided,New] [23:09] Anyone got any experience with Triple monitors and nVidia drivers? Last time I tried it (8600GTS and 7600GT) it stopped GLX from working. Would an 8600GTS and 8500GT work fine with 3 24"ers across them? [23:09] anyone know how I can get anjuta to build against the SDL libraries? Because I can't figure out how to add a static library, all the tutorials I have read say to add them from a setting menu I can't find -_- [23:09] What command shows what objects a program is linked to [23:09] <^root^> Xecuter: what I want, allowing autologin of root, and disabling the warning on root login into X11... [23:10] Starnestommy: So, i have my web server runnning, how do i make it so that i can connect through ssh on port 80? [23:10] ^root^, no, theres no award for stupidity [23:10] So no one has any input on my problem? :c [23:10] <^root^> Xecuter: :P though so, was just kidding... okay then... [23:10] m_newton: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html [23:10] Xecuter: isn't that a little harsh? [23:10] Starnestommy: Also, will that make it encrypted? [23:10] jimcooncat, yes it is:P [23:10] fine, I'll give it another try tomorrow; bye [23:10] m_newton: SSH is encrypted [23:10] ^root^: Ok... well, Ubuntu feels so strongly that you shouldn't enable root they actually have a policy that says whoever tells you how to enable root, needs to be available 24/7 to handle any support requests you have... because strange things can happen. Etc.. so, you can certainly find out. People have done it. But I don't think anyone will violate the CoC to tell you how. [23:11] does anyone know of a way you could compare two large directories to make sure that they are a perfect match? using hashes or something? is there an app for ubuntu? [23:11] m_newton: you might be able to use port 443 instead of 80 for this [23:11] Hi [23:11] Xecuter: it is his computer -- well for the moment anyway. ^root^, you should look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for guidance if you really want to do this [23:11] kubuntu just crashed and now it will not run in graphical, only text based [23:11] <^root^> ArthurArchnix: yes, and a taboo lower than that is allowing sudo without password, I know, was just fooling around.. :D [23:12] Broadcom: if you have done an upgarde .. see what [23:12] AcornAcorn, do a ls on both directories, pipe them to a file, and run a diff? [23:12] Has anyone else heard of an issue with heron where after a while the USB controllers stop working? [23:12] Broadcom: startx tells you [23:12] my mouse randomly stops working, and unplugging it and plugging it into another port doesn't seem to do the trick [23:12] Starnestommy: I dont know if port 443 is open on the server! i think 5900 is open, but not sure on that eather [23:12] ^root^: do you want a way to login as root? or a way to stop the warning from coming up when you do it? [23:12] <^root^> SomeGuy: USB mouse? [23:12] it just happened a few minutes ago so I tried to stick another USB device in to see if it would recognize it and it failed [23:13] Some_Person, see if there's any messages in dmesg [23:13] anyone know how I can get anjuta to build against the SDL libraries? Because I can't figure out how to add a static library, all the tutorials I have read say to add them from a setting menu I can't find -_- [23:13] ^root^, yeah [23:13] <^root^> matthew: nothing :P [23:13] Starnestommy: I think i will do it tommarow [23:13] Starnestommy see ya, and thanks for responding [23:13] frostburn, where's dmesg? [23:13] frostburn: I mean check that there were no errors in copying the files, in case a file is corrupt or something, not that all the files are there [23:13] Some_Person, command prompt, $dmesg [23:14] AcornAcorn, do you have a directory that is known good? you can use rsync to copy anything that differs [23:14] typing $dmesg at the command prompt doesn't do anything [23:14] <^root^> SomeGuy: same problem I had, but I changed mouse to another bran, and now my Dell usb mouse works fine... [23:14] remove the $ [23:14] Can someone help me with phpmyadmin? [23:14] ah [23:14] k [23:14] frostburn: huh? what? [23:14] Skedar: what kind of help do you need with it?

[23:16] ^root^, could you plug in other USB devices when it occurred? [23:16] Hello [23:16] AcornAcorn: TreeDiff, maybe [23:16] because after this happens no USB works anymore [23:16] I need a little ubuntu help [23:16] <^root^> SomeGuy: yup... [23:16] Hey all. Trying to dip my toes in linux, used to run BSD years ago, so trying to install Kubuntu-4 with Wubi. The installation proceeds fine in windows, I reboot into Kubuntu, and the GUI shows me install-type stuff happening. Then I see the splash screen again for a few seconds, and the system reboots. After that, the Kubuntu boot always comes up with "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" which google says is gr [23:16] I used sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [23:16] Hmm, for an HP LaserJet 8150 series printer, CUPS offers both a PostScript driver and an 'hpijs' driver. What's the difference, and which (if any) is better?

[23:17] NewfieLinux: you can do that while installig ubuntu by telling it to use the entire disc [23:17] how whats that [23:18] help! I can't see the settings menu in anjuta, I really need this menu, anyone know what could be going on? [23:18] Also [23:18] my system has been acting funny, and memtest86+ just failed to complete twice, shutting down part way through. can bad memory do that? or does that make it a cpu/disk/other issue?

How hard would it be to set up Ubuntu to dual boot off of the SATA, and where would I install GRUB?

How hard would it be to set up Ubuntu to dual boot off of the SATA, and where would I install GRUB? [23:25] is it harder than that on linux? [23:25] NarkotixAgent_: you can create a new panel and add a window list applet to it [23:25] NewfieLinux: it's a little bit harder, but tools like firestarter can easily do it [23:25] window list applet? [23:26] Final question [23:26] does anyone know how to generate recursive md5sum? [23:26] Someone please HELP w/ 8.04! I wanted to password protect SAMBA, so I decided to uninstall SAMBA by deselecing it in synaptic 9 [23:26] Will ubuntu come with all the required drivers?

[23:27] done [23:27] NewfieLinux: it depends on the card [23:27] NarkotixAgent_: then add the applet to that [23:28] puff: Bingo! http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/ "md5deep is a cross-platform set of programs to compute ... message digests on an arbitrary number of files" [23:28] i am not understanding completly [23:28] ryanakca: maybe eu-readelf [23:28] How can I check my card [23:28] NarkotixAgent_: ok. [23:28] or is there a program [23:28] Starnestommy: This is what anjuta should look like (I think): http://anjuta.org/screenshots/anjuta-2.1/anjuta-2.1.2-9.png and this is what mine looks like: http://imagebin.ca/view/jupz_f.html [23:28] that lets me do it [23:28] does anyone know how to set vlc as default dvd player? [23:28] NewfieLinux: sudo lshw -C net [23:28] without a driver [23:28] NarkotixAgent_: right click on the new panel and select add to panel [23:28] i want when I minimize my progs and mozilla they go to system tray [23:29] I'm having trouble mounting my external usb device... here's the messages log entry about it: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dcb57550 when I try ot mount with /dev/sdc5, it says fail to access volume, no such file or directory; and checking /dev/sdc5, it is indeed not there... [23:29] anyone here that runs both GNOME & KDE? [23:29] ok i did that and nothing happeend [23:29] RoshanK: I have both installed. What about them do you need to know? [23:29] If I choose the "Install within Windows" options from the burned CD, how does that work since it doesn't create a partition? Is it basically installing a VM version of itself? [23:30] I have 2 panels at the bottom of my screen [23:30] Starnestommy: I have ubuntu with gnome installed right now and was hoping to try out kde as well but would like to keep gnome [23:30] starnestommy: actually, that first photo is of an older version, but all the photos of the version i'm using are the same [23:30] NarkotixAgent_: then scroll right down and select window list - this is the applet that windows go to when you minimise them [23:30] Starnestommy:: can i install kde as well and just change desktop environments at login window? [23:30] anyone use openbox, get nmapplet docked somewhere? [23:30] RoshanK: yes [23:30] NarkotixAgent_, do you have the upper tray? [23:30] no i moved it to the bottom like you said [23:31] Starnestommy: so this wouldnt affect my gnome installation and programs should still run such as compiz correct? [23:31] matthew: you may have accidentally changed a setting that made one of those menus disappear [23:31] NarkotixAgent_, sorry was reading the wrong thing :P never mind... [23:31] does anyone know how to set vlc as default dvd player in hardy? [23:31] RoshanK: yes [23:31] Hey all. Trying to dip my toes in linux, used to run BSD years ago, so trying to install Kubuntu-4 with Wubi. The installation proceeds fine in windows, I reboot into Kubuntu, and the GUI shows me install-type stuff happening. Then I see the splash screen again for a few seconds, and the system reboots. After that, the Kubuntu boot always comes up with "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" which google says is gr [23:31] got it :) [23:31] how can I check the speed of my internet connection through the command line? [23:31] Soritong: I believe it uses Wubi. [23:31] robert__: afaik you'll have to set it to open all the formats one by one [23:31] do i have to do that for all my programs or will it do it for me? [23:31] Pushnell: sounds like a currupt filesystem. You'll need to run fsck on that filesystem [23:32] afaik in the terminal? [23:32] robert__: right click on a media-file in nautilux.. properties.. open with [23:32] Starnestommy: How could I fix that? Would reinstalling it work? [23:32] navetz, download something big :P [23:32] NarkotixAgent_: what do you mean? [23:32] matthew: that might work [23:32] robert__: afaik = as far as I know [23:32] not valid in the terminal [23:32] now i see my mozilla window ok, but when I open new programs and minimize will they go to the tray [23:32] Anyone know how the "Install Within windows" option works? Is it basically a VM? [23:32] ? [23:32] robert__: I don't know of a way to do it from the terminal [23:32] Starnestommy: I've uninstalled and reinstalled Wubi/Kubuntu, and the install process always ends the same. I have a Knoppix disk handy, can I mount the wubi partition from that? [23:32] i did it before, forgot how though [23:33] iwlist wlan0 scan [23:33] Pushnell: I'm not sure [23:34] Anybody see this problem with .wmv files where it will play the first few seconds, and then just stop playing? [23:34] Starnestommy: hmm... maybe, thanks ;) [23:34] Hey, what's the escape sequence in bash to remove a space when prepending a string to a variable? [23:34] detrate: \ [23:35] Or plays horrendously slowly? (one frame per second) [23:35] nevermind, got it working [23:35] Can anyone comment between the performance differences of Wubi vs. dedicated partition? [23:36] puff, check cpu usage, is the resolution gigantic, and do you have direct rendering enabled [23:36] thanks [23:36] Anybody seen an error like this before? [23:36] frostburn: how do I check on direct rendering? [23:36] Starnestommy: let me rephrase, any idea how I could mount that filesystem with a livecd? I'm trying to google around for a clue as to how to reference the filesystem. [23:36] BUG: soft lockup - CUP#1 stuck for 11s! [modprobe:1275] [23:36] detrate, context, you can escape using \ and quotes [23:36] so that I can run fsck [23:36] How do i install a downloaded application, ./configure didn't work [23:36] Pushnell: I'm not sure if Wubi partitions can be mounted [23:36] Pushnell: don't mount filesystems you are going to fsck [23:36] gleblanc, glxinfo | grep direct [23:37] frostburn: CPU spiked at first, but I've got a 2.2 PentiumM and 2GB of memory, so... [23:37] Ok, how do I point fsck from a livecd at the wubi file? [23:37] AcornAcorn: check the readme or install file that comes with it [23:37] havoque: I can't, it's running the installer [23:37] I loaded KDE 4 should I remove KDE 3.5? If so how do I do it? [23:37] CPU is now holding steady at 31%, memory at 345 [23:37] kdavid: you can keey kde 3.5 [23:37] I assume I'll have to mount the ntfs partition first, r/w somehow, and then .... ? [23:37] CPU is now holding steady at 31%, memory at 34% [23:37] Ubuntu 7.10 used to show my NTFS HDD, but Hardy doesn't. How do I get Hardy to show my internal NTFS HDD? [23:37] puff, glxinfo|grep direct [23:38] The liveCD went just fine [23:38] Starnestommy: you mean I can keep it? [23:38] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [23:38] [23:38] kdavid: yes [23:38] I ran memtest already [23:38] ok thanks [23:38] kdavid: I just accidentally used a y when I needed a p [23:38] anyone know pls? [23:38] tommy_: You probably need to add it to your /etc/fstab file to mount on startup--is that what you are looking for? [23:38] Starnestommy: I did, it said that I should go to the extracted files and do ./configure, but terminal says "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" [23:38] AcornAcorn: install build-essential [23:39] STSX, im looking for my internal NTFS HDD which Ubuntu 7.10 used to show . What do I add to /etc/fstab? === marco_ is now known as Marco [23:39] tommy_: Well do you want to just temporarily mount it or do you want to have it automatically mount at startup? [23:40] Does Kubuntu 8.04 work with scanners? [23:40] STSX, i want it to always be shown as it used to be on 7.10 [23:40] STSX, but how do I temporarily mount it? [23:41] If you look at the manpage of Xorg, you can see that you can edit the logfile of xorg by using a command-line switch. But I'm currently using gdm. Do you think a config or environment variable can be changed? [23:41] puff, see if you can get drivers for your video card [23:41] I want to disable xlogging, or else map it to /dev/null [23:41] frostburn: ATI, so yeah. [23:41] frostburn: Okay, gotta reboot to try this. [23:41] Starnestommy: Nope, menu is still gone, but I'm starting to think that they may have moved it in the version of anjuta. Do you have anjuta installed? [23:41] how do i enable loose binding for compiz? [23:41] [consolidating]: The Wubi/ubiquity installer consistently leaves Kubuntu-4 with an inconsistent filesystem on my system. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to troubleshoot the install, or how to accomplish an fsck from a livecd? [23:42] any solution for this bug? my keys get stuck and sometimes wn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/227650 [23:42] Launchpad bug 227650 in xserver-xorg-input-keyboard "Keyboard modifiers (CTRL, ALT, SHIF) stop working (dup-of: 196277)" [Undecided,New] [23:42] bleh, gdm got reloaded and it still refuse to mount my external hd... [23:42] Launchpad bug 196277 in xserver-xorg-input-keyboard "[hardy] keyboard layout switching shortcut doesn't work after reboot" [High,Confirmed] [23:42] matthew: I don't think I have it installed [23:42] matthew: I used to, but I stopped using it [23:42] tommy_: OK, how about posting the contents of your /etc/fstab file first? Just post it to paste.ubuntu.com. If you need more specifics on that let me know. [23:43] Anyone in here with anjuta installed that could help me check something very quickly? [23:43] STSX, I found a solution. it was simple. I just sudo apt-get install ntfs-config and ran "sudo ntfs-config === jessica is now known as jessica_lilly [23:43] STSX, ntfs-config did all the work for me and added it to /etc/fstab [23:43] tommy_: That's great--I forgot about that solution for Windows partitions. Thanks for the reminder. :) [23:43] STSX, why did you just recommend ntfs-config instead of all the hard workaround? [23:44] STSX, OK :) [23:44] STSX, i have 1 more question [23:44] how do i make a link to a program that I can use in any directory. so if I have "javac" in one directory and i want to run it everywere, what do I have to do? [23:44] Starnestommy: I did, it said that I should go to the extracted files and do ./configure, but terminal says "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" [23:44] STSX, 7.10 used to show my hidden NTFS partition. How do I get Hardy to show that? [23:44] STSX, thanks for yesterday, I did get my WIFI working. [23:44] Anybody here know how to clear Firefox's form history? [23:44] #ubuntu-br [23:45] AcornAcorn: are you sure that build-essential has been installed? [23:45] elmer: control-shift-delete [23:45] Pushnell, thanks [23:45] Noxix: That's great! So what was the "silver bullet" that got it going? [23:45] Starnestommy: no idea, do i need to apt-get? [23:45] AcornAcorn: sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:45] join #ubuntu-br [23:45] tommy_: What do you mean "hidden"? [23:46] Does anyone know how to add a module to the kernel? [23:46] STSX, I thought you gave me a link with a very good tutorial on how to get the card working. Or maybe I found that later. Eitherway, i have a great link that has the info on how to make it happen. Takes for ever though. [23:46] gronne: sudo modprobe module-name [23:46] STSX, Acronis Trueimage enables a person to create a hidden partition to store all the backup images. 7.10 Ubuntu used to show this partition on my desktop. How I tell Hardy to do the same? [23:47] Noxix: Well as long as it's working, that's all that matters. :) [23:47] Starnestommy: that was fast :) Problem is I'm not sure I've got the right stuff to do it [23:48] tommy_: If you do a "sudo fdisk -l" does it show that partition? [23:48] So, is there a way to make ubuntu recognize executible files in all directories? [23:48] under my aliases file, I see stuff like net-pf-5-appletalk net-pf-31-bluetooth ... I've disabled ipv6, but can I disable these two? I don't have an apple computer and I don't have bluetooth. [23:48] STSX, yes [23:48] Noxix: add that executable to /usr/local/bin [23:48] Starnestommy, thanks! :-D [23:48] is there any programm for watching dvb streams other than kaffeine , and not a command line tool ??? [23:48] ArthurArchnix: I certainly have those disabled myself. :) [23:48] plz [23:48] STSX, its my /dev/sda2 thats hidden. [23:49] what doe xorg mean anyway? [23:49] STSX: In your aliases file? [23:49] my usb external drive isn't recongized by either ubuntu or windows ever since i disconnected it from ubuntu 5 minutes ago [23:49] ariqs: xorg is the X.org X server [23:49] it won't even show up as a device? what gives? [23:49] is ubuntu faster OS then windows XP? [23:49] lavida: it all depends, AFAIK [23:50] ArthurArchnix: Maybe I misunderstood--which exact file are you referring to? [23:50] I (apparently) need to add the "ftdi_sio kernel module" added to the kernel, but I'm not sure I've found the module [23:50] im right now downloading it and i wonder how it looks like :D [23:50] STSX, sudo cfdisk say its my /dev/sda5 thats hidden. how I tell Hardy to show it? [23:50] tyranos: maybe vlc [23:50] does anybody know why my external drive isn't being recongized anymore? [23:50] STSX, before I ask you any more questions.. are you a noob or experienced Ubuntu user? :P [23:50] chown root $(which ntfs-3g) [23:50] <--- what does (which ntfs-3g) mean?? [23:51] does track ir working in ubuntu? [23:51] it's the file at /etc/modprobe.d/aliases that's where you can disable ipv6... it's a common thing. But no one mentions the others in this file. Like appletalk, irda, bluetooth, ppoe... what if you don't have any of those things... [23:51] gronne: did you use "sudo modprobe ftdi_sio" ? [23:51] STSX: [23:51] software for tracing movements of head? [23:51] qoncep1: ntfs-3g is a program that is sued for accessing NTFS partitions [23:51] lavida: lavida no idea.. have you looked in the ubuntu forums? google? [23:51] *used [23:51] tommy_: I'm experienced, but I don't claim to be a super-authority or anything. If you would rather have someone else's help I won't be offended. [23:51] yes i do and didnt find anything [23:51] Starnestommy.. Now I did :) I didn't realize it was that simple [23:52] Starnestommy, so what is it trying to tell me to type there? [23:52] does any progy works in ubuntu from XP or it must be written for ubuntu? [23:52] or emulated [23:52] ? [23:52] huh [23:52] STSX, nice comeback to save face and your pride, seeing you cannot answer me and have no idea :P [23:52] lavida: you can use wine to run windows programs [23:53] lavida, they need to be written for it or written in a language with a vm or emulated [23:53] hey, in system monitor processes tab, the memory list goes away each time i restart the system monitor, anyone know how to fix this [23:53] does anyone know how I can tell Hardy to display my hidden partition which Ubuntu 7.10 used to display? [23:53] lavida: application have to be compiled for linux.. sometimes even written specifically for linux [23:53] Starnestommy.. It didn't say anything when I wrote it, but how do I know it's installed? [23:53] lavida: wine can help you run some windows software on linux.. you can take a look at www.winehq.org to see what they have working etc [23:53] Starnestommy: should i jsut follow these instructions to install kde 4 in ubuntu or do u recommend something else? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-kde-40-stable-in-ubuntu-gutsy.html [23:53] gronne: modprobe says nothing when it works, but if t had failed it would have said something [23:53] tommy, partitions under /mnt and /media are usually shown on the desktop. Mount the partition there. Or else, just create a link to it and put it on your desktop. Pretty simple, or did I misunderstand your question? [23:53] i thought if something is written in C language that it should work on linux [23:53] hum [23:54] or java .. [23:54] hey i'm trying to set up a linux firewall with qos. can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:54] whats wine? [23:54] lavida: it might.. you can write portable code.. or non-portable code [23:54] lavida: it needs to use libraries that work on linux and be compiled for use with linux if it's C [23:54] lavida: wine is a program that can run windows programs [23:54] Starnestommy: Ok.. don't want to be annoying, but how the heck did it install it when I hadn't even downloaded it? [23:54] ah ok [23:54] !wine [23:54] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [23:54] then game il2 forgotten battles doesnt work on linux for sure :( [23:55] or better yet, how do i mount a volume as root [23:55] lavida: it might work in wine [23:55] can i emulate all games or just specific ones? [23:55] oh uh [23:55] thanks [23:55] a lot [23:55] hey, in system monitor processes tab, the memory list goes away each time i restart the system monitor, anyone know how to fix this [23:55] where can I download Ubuntu 7.10? [23:55] lavida, all the info you need can be found on wine's site [23:55] lavida: if that dosent work u might want to look into cedega i think [23:56] tommy_: it's probably availabe from the ubuntu main site [23:56] tommy_, cdimage.ubuntu.org/releases [23:56] tommy_: let me see if i can get u a link [23:56] Starnestommy, For some reason, that didnt work. :\ is there something else I need to do besides move the file into /usr/local/bin ? [23:56] gronne: it was probably there already [23:56] can i expect that emulated games work as good as on windows or i will have less fps? [23:56] Noxix: make sure that it's owned by the user root and the group root [23:56] lavida, all the info you need can be found on wine's site [23:56] lavida: less fps most of the time [23:56] tommy_: You're going to reinstall rather than fix this? It's so trivial. [23:57] I'm having problems with the nvidia driver. I have nvidia-glx-installed, but it doesn't accept 'nvidia' as a driver, only 'nv'. [23:57] lavida: with a few rare exeptions [23:57] rgr that [23:57] the funny thing is that if I start KDE with nv, than edit xorg.conf and set the driver to 'nvidia' then log out and restart X, nvidia works just fine [23:57] thanks guys [23:57] can someone tell me, is the only difference between the "normal" and the "alternate" ubuntu install CD the textmode installer? [23:57] tommy_ http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/7.10/ [23:57] you are so nice [23:57] Pushnell: yes [23:57] Slart: thanks [23:57] havoque, cdimage.ubuntu.org/releases <-- webpage NOT FOUND [23:57] Pushnell: and the alternate cd isn't a live cd [23:57] Starnestommy, would chmod 777 work? [23:57] tommy_ http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/7.10/ [23:57] Starnestommy: ok.. seemed a bit mysterious how it got installed otherwise :) Anyway could you please help me "translate" the first few sentences on this site? http://kin.klever.net/napkin/requirements [23:57] RoshanK, cheers big ears [23:57] Noxix: don't use 777 [23:58] Noxix: use sudo chmod root.root /usr/local/bin/filename [23:58] how do I mount /dev/sda5 manually? because when I type, sudo mount /dev/sda5 it says, mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [23:58] i can only open/start synaptic and update manager as root - this occurred after installing Virtual box - How can i regain "permissions" to nonroot user to start these files [23:58] Hey guys - my screen resolution changed itself when I booted up and now I can't select anything above 800x600. I was at 1200x800. Any ideas why? === chev_chelios is now known as prodigy [23:58] tommy_, sorry mate, here's the right one: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ [23:58] "To get the thing communicate with your watch on Linux you'd need the ftdi_sio kernel module and, of course, usb support. Napkin expects sleeptracker port to be at /dev/sleeptracker, which can be done using udev rules. You can also use SLEEPTRACKER_PORT environment variable to pass the proper device name. See README file for details. " what does this mumbo-jumbo mean? [23:58] tommy_: you need to use sudo.. and some other things... "man mount" will tell you more [23:59] Starnestommy, it says invalid mode root.root [23:59] Slart, I found solution. I just type sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt and now it shows my hidden partition
