[00:00] tommy_: When you just say mount this, without saying where, it looks in fstab for "this". And if it doesn't find "this" in fstab, it gives you an error. Man mount will tell you more, but essentially you need to say sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 [00:00] Noxix: chown, not chmod [00:00] oh [00:00] word [00:00] ArthurArchnix, yep gotcha, cheers big ears [00:00] Noxix: then sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/filename [00:00] ArthurArchnix, will that make it writable as well and I can delete things from that partition? [00:00] tommy_: usually you create a subfolder in mnt... something like /mnt/mydisk or something.. then sudo mount /dev/sd5 /mnt/mydisk will work [00:00] hello I'm very new to Ubuntu. I tried running the live cd to give it a shot and after seeing the Ubuntu screen with the loading bar it brought me to a prompt instead of the UI === Cormenti4 is now known as Cormentia [00:01] can I run the GUI from the live cd or does it need to be installed [00:01] tommy_: Depends on the filesystem type [00:01] The GUI should work from the Live CD [00:01] poo619: the live cd has it by default [00:01] ArthurArchnix, how do I now unmount it? [00:01] sudo umount /placeyoumountedit [00:01] interesting is there anything special I have to do to load it or should it boot automatically [00:01] poo619: Did you change any boot options at all? [00:01] poo619: should load instantly [00:01] How can I add this to my system so It will update to it? http://ultimateedition.info/Ultimate_Edition_1.8/ [00:01] no [00:02] Starnestommy, hmm, i keep getting the same error. i will re-install JDK and see if that was the issue. [00:02] poo619: are you using ubuntu minimal? [00:02] hello, cant find anything on my problem in google... so: all the keyboard combos like "Ctrl+Z", "Shift+Click" and so on with ctrl and shift(and alt i think) dont work under WINE. any ideas? ) [00:02] ArthurArchnix, I typed sudo umount /mnt but it still showing in /mnt [00:02] I downloaded the Desktop version from Ubuntu website. file name is ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso [00:02] 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? === marko__ is now known as marko-_- [00:02] How can I make my system upgrade to this through Software Sources? http://ultimateedition.info/Ultimate_Edition_1.8/ [00:03] try /dev/sda5 or whatever it is... tommy_ [00:03] m1dn1ght: try seeing the restricted drivers? did you change something or updated some packages? [00:04] ok it all works now, thanks [00:04] prodigy: I don't think I've installed anything recently. not sure what you mean when you say seen restricted drivers? [00:04] tommy_: You might want to do this, sudo mkdir /mnt/hiddenpart then you can mount it there. I wouldn't put things just under /mnt as that's a special folder in ubuntu's eyes. But make a subfolder and mount things in that and all should be right in the world. [00:04] I get a prompt that says something like type help for a list of commands [00:04] then I cried [00:05] poo619: did it say anything about busybox? [00:05] poo619: did you just select "Try Ubuntu without making any changes etc.." with nothing else and it booted straight to prompt? [00:05] busybox it at the top yes [00:05] I dont recall what it said tho [00:05] poo619: that means that the live cd failed for some reason [00:05] m1dn1ght: are you using ubuntu with gnome? if so, go to restricted drivers section in the menu and see wether they are checked or not. [00:05] m1dn yes thats what I did [00:05] I was wondering why in my company they didnt like I've had installed nessus? I mean I dont see anything wrong with it... what u guys think? === chryss_ is now known as chryss [00:06] Starnestommy any way I can troubleshoot it or figure out where it failed [00:06] poo619: check the output of dmesg [00:06] gerardoj: I think nessus uses port scanning [00:06] unfortunately that doesnt mean anything to me how do I go about it [00:07] prodigy: Which menu are you referring to? The screen resolution menu? If so nothing like that there. Can't see a restricted drivers option in any of the other menus either [00:07] could it be the intel GPU that came in my dell vostro [00:07] the mounted partition. it wont let me write to it like I used to be able to do in 7.10. how I tell it to give me write permission? [00:07] Starnestommy: yeah, but I work as a developer so I dont see anything bad with it [00:07] prodigy: I am using Gnome btw [00:07] Hi all. How do I set Compiz to use gtk-window-decorator as its window decorator? [00:07] gerardoj: it also checks for the exploits by actually using them [00:08] in gnome there is a system administration menu, and in it there is a restricted drivers. try looking there [00:09] m1dn1ght: third menu from the left. 1st: programs 2nd places. third menu, there find restricted drivers. [00:09] prodigy: not there now,but am just installing "Ubuntu restricted extras" package [00:09] m1dn1ght: that is not the triver, but mp3, mpeg rar, flash etc support. [00:09] the mounted partition. it wont let me write to it like I used to be able to do in 7.10. how I tell it to give me write permission? [00:09] Can one use HDMI to plug an amplifier+speakers to a computer? [00:10] Is there any way to change the font links2 -g uses? [00:10] m1dn1ght: there has to be an icon in the menu that sais restricted drivers. [00:10] prodigy: in that case, I'm going to System --> Administration but there's nothing saying restricted drivers [00:10] tommy_: click on it, then enter your password, and then you will be able to. [00:10] m1dn1ght: that is odd. there has to be. what graph card are you using. [00:10] m1dn1ght: it's called "Hardware drivers" in hardy [00:10] prodigy, click on what??? [00:11] Ah - hardware drivers is there :) [00:11] m1dn1ght: it was restricted drivers in gutsy.. the last version [00:11] tommy_: on the drive you want to write to. it will get mounted and you'll get permissions. [00:11] Hardware Question - Can't get my Adesso CyberTablet to work AS a tablet on Ubuntu Hardy [00:11] when i install vlc it installs packages which are non-free dosnt it ? [00:11] m1dn1ght: try that:) [00:11] There is any .flv player other than totem ? [00:11] prodigy: should have mentioned I was on Hardy. Thanks Slart!! [00:11] Gohalien: vlc plays flv's [00:11] tommy_: i had the sam problem... [00:11] m1dn1ght: you're welcome [00:12] Prodigy: I've got no propriety drivers installed [00:12] thanks slackd00d [00:12] m1dn1ght: what graphic do you have? [00:12] Slart, [00:12] what is the default filesystem that ubuntu uses on a new install? [00:12] Prodigy: on board SiS Mirage 3 Graphics [00:12] prodigy, it is in my /mnt but noway to click on iy [00:12] it [00:12] !fs [00:12] Factoid fs not found [00:12] prodigy, you make no sense sorry [00:13] !filesystem [00:13] when i install vlc dose it install some non-free packages as well with it ? [00:13] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [00:13] tommy_: are you using ubuntu on gnome? [00:13] prodigy, I typed, sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt and now i see it in /mnt. but it wont let write or delete anything from it [00:13] prodigy, yes I am [00:13] when I logout from Ubuntu or press Ctrl Alt Backspace, I just get a black screen and it never return to the login window. How can I solve this? [00:13] jessica_lilly: I don't think so [00:14] tommy_: that is because noraml user has no permission to it. try sudo nautilus. [00:14] prodigy, its been mounted in /mnt, but what do you mean "click" on it? [00:14] Hi could someone please help me figure out how to get sound to come out of my proper 2.1 speakers rather than the computers internal speaker? [00:14] i have an issue, can i get some help (Hardy) [00:14] normally my max resolution is 1024x768 and thats what ive been using. but every so often (Its happened 3 times since hardy release) when Ubuntu starts up after a shutdown, the default resolution is 1280x800. and it works. but as soon as i restart, it goes back to normal. [00:14] so if i installed vlc it wouldnt install anything that was non-free [00:14] tommy_: i ment that ubuntu recognized your partition, and that you have it in places manu. [00:14] also when i used to have windows on the same setup, the max resolution was still 1024x800 [00:15] I cant think of anything differently that i do to make this happen. Can someone please explain this and if possible allow the higher resolution at all times. [00:15] prodigy, yes that worked, sudo nautilus. Cheers big ears :) [00:15] tommy_: :) np [00:15] no problemo [00:15] Jessica_Lilly: I was under the impression, and I might be very wrong, that VLC comes bundled with codecs to decode DVD's which are not open source. [00:15] would anyone be able to help? [00:15] jessica_lilly: any special reason the questions? it's not non-free as in pirated [00:15] prodigy, :-) [00:16] julianexp, yes [00:16] .

"Screen Resolution" window only gives me 3 options. resolution, refresh rate and rotation as well as "detect displays". No option to change monitor type. That key combination does nothing for me unfortunately. [00:22] kevev: use plugins like totem or mplayer [00:22] mysql -u root [00:22] RainMaker: you did try google right? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-change-root-password/ see if that works [00:22] m1dn1ght: try detecting it again:( [00:22] how do i see the message log of the last shutdown?

[00:23] prodigy: nope - unfortunately just says "unknown" in the middle. Clicking detect does nothing. As far as I know I had only been using basic VESA drivers. no idea why it would suddenly poop itself without any stimulus [00:23] Joelito: I have totem installed by default.

[00:42] Pushnell: excellent! thanks. [00:43] cygoku: what do you mean by 'device manager'? [00:43] Eduren: what I mean is, that you might have a hardware problem. [00:43] Gohalien: Must be the closing session part on your burning process [00:43] Does anyone know how to get sound working on zsnes? [00:43] i installed samba, i am able to go to access the pc //192.168.1.125 and i have to enter username and pass, no matter how many convos i try none work [00:43] Eduren: are you using a DVI to VGA adapter ? [00:44] Prodigy: it works fine on both ubuntu and windows but my monitors max res is 1024x768. i dont know why ubuntu will sometimes allow 1200x800 instead of the usual. [00:44] Does anyone know how I can get rid of or fix the ati driver I installed via the repository? Ubuntu loads to a black and sometimes white screen. [00:44] Linxeh: no, pretty old monitor [00:44] Eduren: do not use 1280x800, that will brake your monitor. [00:45] Ok [00:45] Is there a list anywhere that enumerates the packages installed automatically by Ubuntu that are safe to remove? [00:45] prodigy: "brake"? [00:45] Pushnell: hmm.. it appears that on ubuntu /proc/bus/usb is empty. do you know where this similar info is kept? [00:45] For example, Orca, or gThumb? [00:45] Eduren: you should not use it. and 1280x800 is widescreen resolution. [00:45] is it bad to use both apt-get and synaptic [00:45] TTilus: destroy, burn, etc [00:45] TTilus: the man said that his monitor max resolution is 1024x768 [00:45] prodigy: ah, break [00:45] I use 1280x1024 because the login screen refuses to be at 1024x768 lol [00:45] no, it wont [00:46] nantax, I am sure that is the problem, but I have no idea how to solve it [00:46] Anyone? [00:46] wrong resolution can't destroy display physically [00:46] i normally use the add/remove will it cause problems if i do sudo apt-get install libevent [00:46] shonen: ? [00:46] use yous hardware inside specifications, otherwise it will be under no warranty [00:46] Gohalien: try to wait for it to finish... takes a while specially if its dvd... [00:46] how to change the title and author in the properties of a pdf?? [00:47] Hey, now that I have installed my windows wireless driver for broadcom under ndiswrapper, what do I need to do to use them ?? [00:47] disciple: oh well, thanks anyways [00:47] Prodigy: what warranty, its lke 6 years old [00:47] Sonja: you created the pdf, or did you get it from somewhere else? [00:47] Has anyone encountered and fixed the ATI "black screen" problem? I am having the same issue and cannot make heads or tails. [00:47] TTilus: i think it could burn something. if try to force more thatn max resolution. that is what i think. [00:47] Eduren: then, you have nothing to worry:) [00:47] prodigy: you _think_ [00:47] prodigy: think again ;) [00:48] TTilus does it matter? if i create them in OO.o i can prolly change the settings in there, but if i have someobdy else's pdf and want to edit the title and author in the "properties" of the pdf ... ? [00:48] shonen: ohh well what? thanks for what? [00:48] TTilus: i have no money to think that hard xD [00:48] shonen: (confused) [00:48] Anybody know why my keyboard would work in the 7.04 installer but not the 8.04? [00:48] shonen: no, sorry, I haven't even been able to get ubuntu installed yet. Working on that currently. [00:48] nantax, I wait until it is finished, the error pops up, I will burn one now to show you [00:48] Sonja: well, you just explained yourself what does it matter :) [00:49] XSSammy: change the options in the bios screen, disable usb keyboard legacy support [00:49] is it possible redirect devices to windows xp inside virtualbox? problem with drivers... [00:49] off to bed for me mates. goodbye. tally ho [00:49] TTilus ok if it's somebody else's .. then how? [00:49] Prodigy: thx bye [00:49] Sonja: i dont know any other way than uncompressing pdf and diving in with a text editor [00:49] nantax: There is no option for this in the bios as I am using a dell dimension 5150 [00:49] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [00:50] Has anyone experienced mozilla and pidgin graying out and only giving an option to force quit or cancel? [00:50] ok thanks [00:50] Does anyone know how to fix the ATI "black screen" problem in hardy? [00:50] Heather-Marie-Ba: version of firefox? [00:50] back, sorry [00:50] erm [00:50] Whatever comes with 8.01 [00:50] disciple: wrong name heh === mgallagh is now known as mattva01 [00:50] 3.0b5? [00:50] Sonja: hum, google thinks there are several pdf "editors" for linux [00:51] shonen: ok i c [00:51] thanks TTilus!! [00:51] <3 [00:51] anyone else want to help me install tor? [00:51] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [00:51] is it possible to mount more than one .iso at a time? [00:51] Hi, this is Dispair, got ghosted, did anyone answer my question about how to connect to a unix xserver from ubuntu? [00:51] Sonja: you could try pdfedit [00:51] StevenX: yes [00:51] Would creating a swap file solve the issue? [00:51] XSSammy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gfxboot/+bug/181666 [00:51] Launchpad bug 181666 in gfxboot "USB keyboard not available at 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Alpha2 LiveCD boot menu" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:52] Starnestommy, I used this command to mount the first image: sudo mount image.iso /media/virtual -o loop [00:52] disciple: did "sudo apt-get install tor" work? [00:52] Starnestommy, how would I mount the second one? [00:52] Heather-Marie-Ba, does that happen freequently? [00:52] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [00:52] Only if I do too much [00:52] I heard it may be related to Compiz? [00:52] StevenX: create a second mount point for it in /media or /mnt [00:52] thanks [00:52] But I rly don't feel like disabling the desktop effects. Im fond of them. [00:52] I would like to know how i would connect to a unix xserver form ubuntu, any ideas? [00:53] Heather-Marie-Ba: firefox has a patch that will improve performance and greatly reduce the number of lockups, should be in Firefox 3 final [00:53] Starnestommy, thanks. [00:53] ZaphodB: define "connect" [00:53] Heather-Marie-Ba: try running those without compiz and see if that fixes the problem [00:53] Does anyone know how to fix the ATI "black screen" problem in hardy? [00:53] If it does do I have to suck it up and not use Compiz anymore :( [00:53] i am a web developer and i want to ovisuly test my sites for compatablity in as many browsers as i can and i want safari as its default on mac is there anyway of getting safari on linux as i need to test if my site displays ok in it [00:53] ZaphodB: do you mean something like xdmcp or x-forward or what? [00:53] the unix xserver has a gui on it, which i normally connect to via hummingbird exceed [00:54] am nevoie de un roman [00:54] Heather-Marie-Ba, try to update to ffx3-rc1 (i don't know now if thats in the official repository or in hardy-proposed though) [00:54] Starnestommy, how do I unmount? [00:54] StevenX: umount [00:54] sudo mount image.iso /media/virtual [00:54] Does anyone have a link or a sudo apt-get command? [00:54] sudo unmount image.iso /media/virtual [00:54] i think basically i need to start an x server session on my ubuntu for the remote server, just dont know how [00:54] startx failed [00:55] nantax: thanks searched everywhere for this [00:55] StevenX: sudo umount /media/virtual [00:55] Starnestommy, thanks. [00:55] ZaphodB: you want to run apps on that unix box and see the app windows on your ubuntu desktop or what? [00:55] anyone else want to help me install tor? [00:55] exactly [00:55] i will use wine with the windows verson of safari [00:56] ZaphodB: if that's the case just ssh -X unixbox and launch your apps [00:56] Does anyone know how I can go about recovering from an ATI "black screen"? [00:56] i make fresh install ubuntu studio but Server X don`t start, why? [00:56] disciple: have you tried installing it using sudo apt-get install tor? [00:56] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [00:56] how do you get the most recent build of a package? [00:56] heinrich: it's probably configured wrong [00:56] I feel like such a n00b :( [00:56] why? [00:56] will that get me the unix desktop as well? [00:56] gentlemen: does ubuntu use GNOME or KDE? [00:57] Because I'm brainless when it comes to Linux. I just recently made the switch. [00:57] heinrich: automatic detection doesn't work very well sometimes [00:57] Gnome [00:57] no one should feel like a n00b we all have to learn its part of the prossess of getting good and gaining knolage [00:57] sweetgum: by default it uses gnome [00:57] ZaphodB: ah, you want to have the whole desktop [00:57] MDKerr: Thanks [00:57] Starnestommy: Thanks [00:57] sort of yes, sort of no [00:57] Heather-Marie-Ba: I'm in the same boat as you :) === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [00:57] I have been trying to figure out why my laptop (Kubuntu) will not shut down properly if I use the GUI or "sudo shutdown now" at CLI. I have pasted my syslog from the time I tried to turn off my computer http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16503/ if someone wouldn't mind assisting me. [00:57] sweetgum, THere is a kubuntu that uses kde [00:57] I could learn a lot just sitting in here though is that what you do nan? :P [00:57] ZaphodB: i'd try with apps > internet > terminal server client [00:57] JuJuBee: why does it matter? [00:58] if you wish to use kde you can do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [00:58] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [00:58] I do not like to have to press the power key until it powers off. [00:58] what does the unix box have to be running for that to work? [00:58] ZaphodB: choose xdmcp (i assume thats the proto you unixbox uses) [00:58] nantax, burning now ^^ i set it up to leave the session open [00:58] Does anyone know or have a clue as to how I can recover from a bad ati driver install? I booted to a black screen after installing via the repository. [00:58] nantax, I will tell you in a few mins if error [00:58] anyone else want to help me install tor?? [00:59] jsestri2 : do you power off by pulling the plug on your computer? [00:59] that is grayed out in that app [00:59] Gohalien: Okay... [00:59] anyone... [00:59] how do i enable it [00:59] hey guys, im having a kind of strange issue, for some reason whenever i start my computer the delay before the grub menu is extremely long (like over a minute) the system appears to have passed the bios and displays a message which states something similiar to "loading grub", i only have one system drive, dual booting xp, and grub is installed to the mbr... any ideas? [00:59] disciple: I told you. sudo apt-get install tor [00:59] im having a issue with vadila [00:59] JuJuBee: no, but you can hold the power button to shut it off nicely [00:59] Starnestommy: sorry i wasnt looking [00:59] Hi after upgrading from gutsy to hardy.. I realize my sources.list file hasn't been replaced with a new one so how do I go about replacing it? [01:00] disciple: and make sure that your universe repository is enabled [01:00] Starnestommy: lets try it [01:00] hai, how long is forums gonna be down? [01:00] nantax, I really dont think it is the cd burner rom, it is new it burns it ok, brasero just doesn't close it [01:00] is there a gnome alarm clock i know there is kalarm but i dont like running kde app's on my gnome desktop for some reson its looks un-native like when i run things in wine [01:00] Hi after upgrading from gutsy to hardy.. I realize my sources.list file hasn't been replaced with a new one so how do I go about replacing it? [01:00] jsestri2: normally yes, but not now for some reason. The system seems to hang, hence the paste of my syslog as I don't unerstand much of it... [01:00] ZaphodB: hum, it might need some packages [01:00] like xnest? [01:00] Does anyone know or have a clue as to how I can recover from a bad ati driver install? I booted to a black screen after installing via the repository. [01:00] Any bash scripters around? [01:01] see is here is a list of them on the internet signial all you need is a list of the hardy repositorys [01:01] nantax, without closing the session, the dvd burns with no error [01:01] Starnestommy: i think its working! [01:01] jessica_lilly: timer-applet [01:01] jsestri2: my computer screen goes blank and the fan is running but the HD led is not doing anything. I left it this way for over 20 miutes with no change. [01:01] JuJuBee: shutting off the computer, i believe is done through acpi, which is notoriously buggy since it tends to vary between hardware so much...unfortunately that means shutdown is hard, reset is easy [01:01] thanks stroganoff i will have a look [01:01] Gohalien: try burning some stuff in windows if it closes ok [01:01] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-torprivoxy-and-tor-gui-programs-vidaliatork-and-torbuttonin-ubuntu.html [01:01] i need install my CANON PIXMA IP 1000 [01:01] Ok [01:01] Gohalien: Honestly, i dont trust brasero Lol [01:01] I installed my radeon drivers with envy like I was suggested to do in here, and not only did they not work, i'm stuck in low res now [01:02] I burned my ubuntu iso, xubuntu in windows [01:02] JuJuBee: you probably just have to wait until it gets fixed, unless you're experienced with the kernel, then you might be able to hack it yourself -- but even then it'd be hard [01:02] How can I update Wine through the Terminal window? [01:02] jsestri2: so what do I do? IT has been working fine for long time until I installed the AIT drivers [01:02] Not experienced [01:02] ZaphodB: look for tsclient dependencies on package manager [01:02] ok, so ive got the ssh -X and terminal server client, any other ideas to try tomorrow? [01:02] Hi after upgrading from gutsy to hardy.. I realize my sources.list file hasn't been replaced with a new one so how do I go about replacing it? [01:02] i figured that out [01:02] nantax: Keyboard now works but I am getting a kernel panic message when i try to boot [01:02] BTW still using 7.04 [01:02] MDKerr: tried booting in safe mode? apt-get removing would be my guess... [01:03] Starnestommy: do you reccomend using Tork? [01:03] how do you start timer applet i have tryed typing it in the command line and nothing and then when i looked through the applications menu nothing ? [01:03] i need install my CANON PIXMA IP 1000 [01:03] ZaphodB: use xdmcp directly from you gdm, when you log on to your computer you can choose from that box and your unixbox [01:03] i can only open/start synaptic and update manager as root - this occurred after installing Virtual box - How can i regain "permissions" to non-root user to start these files [01:03] disciple: I've never used it [01:03] JuJuBee: in that case its probably to do with your hdd driver, you might be best off reporting a bug [01:03] What can I type in Terminal to update my Wine ? [01:03] Ienorand, via the gui boot menu or text? I only see (recovery mode) in the text and the standard ubuntu or xp choices [01:04] unsure how to do that, all the config examples ive seen says gdm is supposed to be in /etc/X11/gdm, mine isnt [01:04] Could it be possible that it has to do with the installing of ATI proprietary drivers? The first 2 lines of my syslog right at the time I try to shutdown deal with fglrx and an error... [01:04] to update wine "sudo apt-get install wine" [01:04] That is the only thing that stands out in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16503/ [01:04] its just in /etc, and it doesnt have a gdmconfig file in it [01:05] I got this error: [01:05] FATAL: Error inserting battery (/lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.ko): No such device [01:06] JuJuBee: it probably is because of the proprietary drivers -- if you can survive without them, revert your changes otherwise report a bug is what i'd do [01:06] How do I uninstall the AIT drivers? [01:06] hi, having trouble updating to 8.04, am running 7.10 and i dont get the "new version available" in the update manager, any suggestions? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [01:07] I tried going through the install for the drivers provided by ubuntu as per how-to, [01:07] gnr: try sudo distupgrade [01:07] Hi, I'm having a problem with, you guessed it, amd64 nvidia geforce 6100. I've just upgraded distros to most current using synaptic and lo and behold, xwindows can't find my nvidia driver even after i downloaded and ran the latest binary installer from nvidia's website [01:07] Not sure which ones Im using anymore [01:07] Hmmm... that might be an issue, i don't happen to know those drivers, but usually the install process can be followed in reverse if you find the right parameters [01:07] hey guys - anyone have any idea why I can't play audio streams in firefox? I cant find a solution - the audio is ok in flash/youtube etc, but not for bbc/finetune flash. ... have switched everything to alsa, installed various packages (incl libflashsupport(?)) but still no joy. Anyone point me in a direction from here? I have now installed from scratch and have the same problem :/ ---Help!! [01:07] ZaphodB, didn't work [01:08] gnr: sudo dist-upgrade [01:08] alan_m, didn't work :) [01:08] and the forums are down at the moment [01:08] i know this is a little off-topic but you know the kernel rings like from 0-3, 0 = bare metal, 1 = kernel, 2 = command line, 3 = GUI. is that correct or is there somethign else i know its a little off-topic im sorry [01:08] gnr, ACK sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:08] what did it say [01:08] ok? [01:08] i need install my CANON PIXMA IP 1000 [01:08] can anyone please help me resolve my 'battery error', or explain it at least maybe? [01:08] jessica_lilly: I think 0 = kernel, 3 = everything else [01:08] amorphous_: bbc uses real player last i checked [01:08] also interestingly in xwindows as a user, now I can't even open synaptic package manager, it won't prompt me for the root password [01:09] it does open if i do a startx as root but this is broken [01:09] alan_m, i know the command, just nothing updates :) [01:09] gnr, hrrrmmmmmmmmmm [01:09] gnr, what does it say when you try [01:09] Hi after upgrading from gutsy to hardy.. I realize my sources.list file hasn't been replaced with a new one so how do I go about replacing it? [01:09] where do 1, 2 come in then sorry i was listing to lugradio a while back about vertualisation and its got me thinking [01:09] hi, I got nvidia driver package from nvidia installed on hardy. but i can't turn on my visual effect. what do i need to do ?

[01:10] malkav |i can only open/start synaptic and update manager as root - this occurred after installing Virtual box - How can i regain "permissions" to non-root user to start these files [01:10] massive attack [01:10] jessica_lilly: they're empty rings. Some kernel modules might be in them. [01:10] DIL: i am not the one to ask, i'm just as broken as you are [01:10] !sorry! [01:10] Factoid sorry! not found [01:10] /quit [01:10] ah right thanks starnestommy :D [01:10] amorphous_: no clue [01:10] MDKerr: recovery will give you some options including root terminal [01:10] hey, apparently my motherboard doesn't work with pulseaudio, but it worked with ALSA. is there a way to downgrade or fix the problem? [01:10] malkav: what is your fram output for glxgears? [01:10] the web dose not explain that very well [01:10] i must run alsaconf everytime i boot my system. Does anybody knows what is going on?

[01:12] malkav: weird, i got that problem before i insatlled the driver. but after installation, it worked [01:12] i think i damaged my windows xp system some how when i was in linux it wont boot, i think im just going to get rid of it and extend ubuntu [01:12] the window or the upgrade? [01:12] jsestri2 : I found the fglrx-uninstall.sh in /usr/share/ati [01:12] thanks Shii [01:12] alan_m, i have no updates, i update frequently and never got the message [01:12] jessica_lilly: lol... xp is at the end of its life in your pc :) [01:12] gnr, total weirdness [01:13] agreed [01:13] I will never buy another ATI video card [01:13] here is a screenshot:http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/4/6/2/f_Screenshotm_2c5ee3a.png basically, the installer just sits here for a little while.....Installing on WINE on UBUNTU 8.04 hardy, any ideas?

[02:32] jtaylor13: im gonna guess and say you'd jst need to make a script for it [02:32] jtaylor13: firestarter is not a firewall. it is a configuration tool for iptables, which always starts. [02:33] Hi all, having trouble getting a Google answer to this. Are the 8.04 repos going to update to FF3rc1 (and/or FF3 stable, when released) at any point? If not, is there a standard-ish way to install those? [02:33] ok it's detecthing my nvidia and says it's in use, but i can only get 640x480.. can i just add a mode to the xorg.conf file and it work? [02:33] jtaylor13, it is just the front end for iptables; if you want the little app to run in notification area put in startup sessions [02:33] joseaa, rhythmbox [02:33] Adam_G: backports [02:33] joshual, , rhythmbox [02:33] group:it says fire wall.

[02:36] I use Opera. [02:36] bazhang_:how do i set firestarter to run at boot up? [02:36] jtaylor13, system prefs sessions add it there [02:36] iptables should already run at boot up [02:36] it does [02:37] could anyone tell me the sudo apt-get command to install the kde 3.x desktop, kde 4 kinda sucks for me [02:37] nflava, kubuntu-desktop [02:37] ok cool, thanks [02:37] hello [02:38] i like some of the stuff for the kde 4 but sometimes the k menu gets all messed up graphiclly as do the program icons that are on the bottom bar [02:39] Is there a way to resize a partion without losing data? Such as my root partion? [02:39] my upgrade from 7.10 completes but when i reboot my boot manager only gives me options for 7.10/vista. Ive upgraded 3 times so far, no luck [02:39] charIie, why do you want to do this [02:39] bazhang_:i got that system.session open but it wants a command to find firestarter.I can not find it. [02:39] charlie: carefully [02:39] cygoku, is this same? http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/] [02:40] if someone could help me out that would be cool [02:40] !ask | ian_ [02:40] ian_: 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. :-) [02:40] bazhang_, In order to install ISPConfig, my root needs more room. I made it too small. [02:40] hello, i no longer have a trash on my panel, and when I add one it doesn't appear [02:40] can you do anything similar to ics in ubuntu? [02:40] charIie, what is ispconfig [02:40] if i blindly click around on the panel trash opens, i just can't see it, how can i fix this? [02:40] SeaPor : No. [02:40] !ask [02:40] 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. :-) [02:41] jtaylor13, look in /usr/bin [02:41] ? [02:41] It is a program that manages things like www server, mail server etc [02:41] i did that [02:42] bazhang_, bazhang_, In order to install ISPConfig, my root needs more room. I made it too small. [02:42] i am trying to install evolution as a mail reader client, cuz i can't get kmail to work, but now i can't get evolution to install right either... error comes back that i don't have konqueror on my system, but i have konqueror-kde4... how do i fix this so i can install evolution? [02:42] bazhang_, sorry for the repeat [02:42] charIie, where is this downloaded from [02:42] my upgrade from 7.10 completes but when i reboot my boot manager only gives me options for 7.10/vista. Ive upgraded 3 times so far, no luck [02:43] upgrading to 8LTS [02:43] would nolapic, noapic or acpi=off affect a streaming site if i had them as boot parameters??? [02:43] bazhang_, what does that have to do with resizing the root partition? [02:43] bazhang_, but it is ispconfig.org [02:43] charIie, best to find in repos first and not install stuff from random websites [02:43] hi. what software would enable me to create a virtual windows environment within ubuntu? thanks [02:44] !vm | Casper22 [02:44] Casper22: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [02:44] hmm where could i find some informatio for vm? [02:44] bazhang_, the problem would still exist because it requires more space whether or not it is in the repos [02:44] I hate Ubuntu damn it. [02:45] charIie, good luck then [02:45] i have a separate partition for /boot, but upgrade says it doesnt have enough disk space. can i use my / partition instead? [02:45] Can anyone reach that page ? : http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ [02:46] i am trying to install evolution as a mail reader client, cuz i can't get kmail to work, but now i can't get evolution to install right either... error comes back that i don't have konqueror on my system, but i have konqueror-kde4... how do i fix this so i can install evolution? [02:46] cygoku, yes [02:46] cygoku, just the background... [02:46] MrPiracy: I think you need to just change your fstab, and copy over the partition [02:46] SeaPhor : I made a tinyurl for you : http://tinyurl.com/2jjnko [02:46] danbhfive: how do I do that? [02:47] I connected my printer. it was detected. when i printed a page, the job queue said it was detected. but nothing came out of the printer. advice? [02:47] 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 [02:48] (hardy heron) [02:48] thomashartman1, printer? [02:48] hp laserjet p1006 [02:48] akira 'df'? [02:48] akiraV, is the disk full? [02:49] MrPiracy: hmmm, you don't know how to work the fstab? Take a peak at it, see if it makes sense to you [02:49] ok, where's it at? [02:49] When I set background opacity to 0 in my desktop cube, it's hard to see the backs of windows on other workspaces because compiz darkens them. How can I change this so that compiz lights all windows the same way? [02:49] MrPiracy, less /etc/fstab [02:50] amorphous_: thx [02:50] amorphous: hp laserjet p1006. in "document print status" I show two completed jobs for this printer. [02:51] MrPiracy, you can bring it up with sudo gedit /etc/fstab when it comes to editing it. need sudo (or, i think gksudo, to be correct) to be superuser (for permissions) [02:51] thomashartman1, i think you have to have a hotplug thing going on for that... is that hp? [02:51] fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org insead of ATI like I want despite the fact I have the restricted ati driver package installed and enabled. WHY? [02:51] amorphous_: i know that, i just don't know how to change the /boot to the other partition [02:52] amorphous_: seems like. i plug it in, something pops up. [02:52] yes hp, laserjet p1006 [02:52] amorphous_: all the mount points in this file seems to be directing to other partitions that I have, not /boot [02:52] amorphous_: always gksudo for GUI programs, fyi [02:52] thomashartman1, no - hp have a thing where you have to upload software when the printer comes on. [02:52] MrPiracy: I would change the mount point of /boot to something like /old_boot. Then, sudo mount -a to reset the mount points. Then, create a /boot directory (if its not there). Then copy over the contents, with maybe cp -rA /old_boot /boot then thats it i think [02:52] astro76, thx :) [02:53] thomashartman1, hang on... [02:53] I would like to create a "network drive" for my family, so everyone can access a folder on this computer if they are on the network. How do I do this with Ubuntu? [02:53] MrPiracy: do you have a separate /boot, or is that just an error message you are getting? [02:53] danbhfive: I have a separated part just for /boot [02:53] alecwh: are windows computers involved? [02:54] astro76: There is one, but I don't really care about it. This is mostly for my two Ubuntu computers. [02:54] danbhfive: will that be a problem if i do that just for upgrading? I dont wanna risk getting ubuntu not bootable [02:54] !nfs [02:54] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [02:54] hey, i ran ifup eth1 and it says it's connected, but ping still doesn't work [02:54] bazhang_: is that for me? [02:54] is there something blocking the internet? [02:54] alecwh: ^ nfs [02:55] <|Ryan52> If I am using debian-installer installer with hardy and preseeding, will the time be checked and fixed? [02:55] astro76: thanks, I'll check it out. [02:55] alecwh, aye [02:55] fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org insead of ATI like I want despite the fact I have the restricted ati driver package installed and enabled. WHY? [02:55] thomashartman1, google hplip. hplip is pretty good - i have a few hp printers. apt-get hplip, then use gksudo hp-toolbox to try & install your 1006. [02:55] MrPiracy: I dunno, it should be in your fstab [02:55] Hi, is there are way to remove system dependent packages, such as the firefox 3 beta for example? [02:55] Shii, what does iwconfig show [02:55] danbhfive: it is, i found it [02:55] Shii, pastebin output (not here) [02:55] amorphous_: thanks, trying that. [02:55] danbhfive: I just need to change it temporarily, since upgrade wants to download new files into it [02:56] bazhang_: i don't know--- i only have one computer, i'm using the livecd right now [02:56] but it's an ethernet connection [02:56] alecwh: alternatively, and easier, you could just install openssh-server on each, then use sftp or scp to transfer, you can even use places > conect to server... and use the filemanager [02:56] MrPiracy: hmmm, do you really want to keep it? Maybe you should just make it bigger... [02:56] Shii, ifconfig then to paste.ubuntu.com [02:56] thomashartman1, gd lk [02:56] alecwh: although nfs is probably faster [02:56] astro76: bazhang_: Forgive me, but there isn't a description of what "nfs" is. What is it? What is it for? [02:56] Hi, for some reason on my new laptop when ever i start a movie in smplayer or turn it on the brightness goes down alot, any one know why? [02:56] in the link alecwh [02:56] alecwh, google it :P [02:56] danbhfive: i can't do that, my swap partition is inbetween them [02:56] alecwh: it's the standard unix/linux file sharing protocol [02:56] i can't do that because i only have one computer and the internet isn't working when i boot it from the hard drive [02:57] okay [02:57] but it says something like 72k received 490 bytes sent under eth1 [02:57] (after I run ifup eth1, that is) [02:57] im having trouble with this, does this mean that the error was caused by the cd not being found in the drive: http://pastebin.ca/1037449 [02:57] Shii, plug in the ethernet cable-->open a terminal and type ifconfig-->note if it says eth0 or whatever, then sudo dhclient eth0 (or other) [02:57] alecwh, wikipedia is good... and so is the homepage [02:58] thanks bazhang_ i'll try it out === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:58] does anyone know how to fix the disappearing trash on panel bug? [02:58] danbhfive: nevermind, i think I'll just download hardy and install it clean. I have just upgraded the video card and it's not working properly yet. Maybe a clean isntall will solve both problems [02:59] alan_m: go to System > Admin > Software Sources, and uncheck the Cdrom as a source [02:59] astro76, i figured it was that, i was asking just to be sure :) [02:59] danbhfive: or else, i'll soon be back with new probs ;) [02:59] danbhfive: thx [02:59] kevin_, what bug on launchpad [02:59] Should enabling WEP cut wireless speed by ~ 4x? (Broadcom 1390) [02:59] MrPiracy: well, I think what I said is true. Its bit of work, but to get your separate /boot back, you would just reverse the process. Heh, ok. You know, clean installs are usually better than upgrades, so I like your choice :P [02:59] Bug #235226 [02:59] Launchpad bug 235226 in gnome-panel "Trash Applet Disappear (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/235226 [03:00] kevin_, looks to be invalid; ie not a bug [03:00] Hi, is there are way to remove system dependent packages, such as the firefox 3 beta for example?

[03:12] Would someone be able to help me turn off the "quiet" option in the menu.lst to display the boot info, in ubuntu 8.04? [03:12] lsusb? lemme check... [03:12] my xorg.conf always seems unchanged after running the usual automated configurations [03:12] ubunguru, yeah [03:12] And here is my config file: http://rafb.net/p/wMIdGn48.html [03:13] Any ideas? [03:13] Bus 00(1|2) Device 001: ID 0000-0000 [03:13] GodFather, you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.list I believe [03:13] ubunguru, that's quite a strange issue [03:13] Hmm. [03:13] That's what it said! [03:13] Can anyone help me fix my gnome panel? It's all white. Can't see anything on it, just white. [03:14] yitz_, just that one line or all the lines look like that? [03:14] http://rafb.net/p/wMIdGn48.html - What does line 12 mean? [03:14] 2 lines [03:14] All of it was 2 lines, no drive mentioned [03:14] ubunguru, i think that was written in brainfuck [03:14] xbj9000, I went in and removed "quiet" from the altoptions section as well as commented out the "quiet" below the boot options for grub and sudo grub-update and still nothing [03:14] that's probably code [03:14] Anyone? Please? [03:15] xbj9000, although the altoptions appears commented out anyways, maybe different for 8.04? [03:15] TiZ_: Did you restart? Can you right-click it? [03:15] godfather I think you change 'quiet' to 'verbose' [03:15] I can right click it. [03:15] down a bit where it has the menu lines [03:15] xbj9000, ok let me see here [03:15] TiZ_: Do you get a popup menu? [03:15] hang on I'll look at mine, I know I've done what you're trying to do [03:15] yitz_, that means it is not finding the device, in system->admin there is the system log app, open that up, unplug the device and plug it back in and see if there are any messages, that might help you debug it, also there can be issues with cables and hubs [03:16] Yep [03:16] TiZ_: Maybe you can refresh it by going to properties, adding hide-tabs, hiding and unhiding it [03:16] this../ [03:16] usr/ [03:16] usr/bin/ [03:16] usr/bin/xwinwrap [03:16] usr/sbin/ [03:16] jtaylor13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:17] mneptok is yard punk, the effeminate faggot [03:17] xbj9000, I am going to try "noquiet" as well as "verbose" be right back [03:18] yitz_, normally when I have a bug like that I use the log and lsusb etc, if it was working yesterday, hm, my USB drive has a flaky power cable heh ;) something I have to wiggle it, at this point the only direction I see going is down into "what did you change" hell :) [03:18] why does thunderbird not work at all??? I do sudo apt-get install thunderbird and it installs and then i do thunderbird and it says its not installed..... [03:18] anybody can help me configure xorg for this old S3 Virge?

The USB cable... Oh my. I think I had issues with that before. Lemme check [03:20] Carbonflux: Note: Ubuntu 7.04 [03:20] yitz_, lots of fun and useful messages in the logs btw :) [03:20] I don't think 7.04 makes a difference in this case, I just switched myself, same USB devices etc [03:22] Nothing showed up in the log. Tried a USB key [03:22] Can I reboot the USB manager thingy somehow? [03:22] thats beyond my knowledge [03:22] hmm. . . how do i add a user to a passwd file? [03:22] bonhoffer: adduser command?

[03:26] nixnoob, the repos are a bit weird, mozilla-thunderbird is a different package from just thunderbird, I got a bit confused by it myself [03:26] ChaosTheory_: a period '.' [03:26] syntac: Thanks. [03:26] ChaosTheory_: so something like: cp -R /some/dir . [03:27] I'm not sure godfather, did you get the splash screen with the small text below it or a full text screen? [03:27] ok ive got to install some modules, so probably gotta restart, see ya later folks. [03:27] ChaosTheory_: ./ but you really don't need it, cp file ./subdir/ and cp file subdir/ is the same [03:27] astro76: Ooh, right. [03:27] xbj9000, I got a full text screen, apparently when I run grub-update it cannot locate a splash screen to begin with, I just never had one, always booted in a black screen [03:28] I think a moment of blank out is normal [03:28] Fucking broadcom. [03:28] xbj9000, ok cool [03:28] what is it you're trying to find out at boot? [03:28] thanks [03:28] Does '.rdf' in /home//gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'sesource description file'?

[03:29] bullgard4: please dont repeat your question quite so quickly [03:29] my computers refuse to see each other :( [03:29] xbj9000, nothing special I just prefer to watch something when I boot be it info or otherwise, I think its my pc building nature, I need to watch the screen for errors or hangups [03:29] I guess I could. [03:29] i can ping, but can't get them to share [03:29] cygoku: you'll last longer. [03:29] I understand [03:29] has anyone else seen problems with the thermal and power monitors in the new nVidia driver freezing a machine when compiz-fusion is running? [03:29] xbj9000, thanks for the help Ill investigate further goodnight [03:29] astro76: What if I want to copy all of one subdir into another subdir? [03:29] Last longer than ubuntu on my computer ? [03:29] LOL [03:29] Carbonflux, still doesn't work, it says the package isnt installed even tho it is [03:29] Seeker`: Please do not make false statements here in this channel. [03:30] ChaosTheory_: cp -a subdir1 subdir2/ [03:30] Seriously, broadcom is bad. [03:30] bullgard4: excuse me? [03:30] astro76: Awesome, thanks. [03:30] nixnoob, how are you trying to run it? [03:30] cygoku: that may be the case, but there are politer ways of saying it :) [03:30] fglrxinfo says OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org insead of ATI like I want despite the fact I have the restricted ati driver package installed and enabled. my xorg.conf.# goes to 27 ;p [03:30] Carbonflux, funny thing is all the debs that apt is install say "nobinonly" [03:31] Seeker' : Not after 4 hours to get it working. [03:31] Carbonflux, i tried "thunderbird" and "mozilla-thunderbird" in console [03:31] cygoku, no cursing; period. [03:31] nixnoob, did you check to see if it added a menu entry? [03:31] ChaosTheory_: mv dir will move the entire dir to another as a subdir. [03:31] Carbonflux, it did and when i click it it says that it does not exist [03:31] nixnoob, were there any log messages when it installed that might be interesting? [03:31] i have a question about apache if anyone can help? [03:31] <`Kermudge> Hey how do bazhang? [03:31] nixnoob, what tool did you use to install it? [03:31] Carbonflux, no errors [03:32] Carbonflux, apt-get install [03:32] Carbonflux, sudo ofcourse [03:32] i loaded up a aircrack wireless driver, but i want to go back to the ubuntu kernel driver. anyone able to help? [03:32] nixnoob, maybe try using synaptic would be my only offering at this point, when I did use it that is how I installed it [03:32] nixnoob, I have gotten it to work in 8.04 [03:32] anyone know why apache would try to start on 127.0.1.1?

[03:35] i got samba set up and working, but i have a problem that bothers me, im sharing /home/username and it shows a share of username and one of homes both leading to the same dir, if i delete one they both go away is this normal ? [03:35] What's the package for the JRE plugin for ffx ? [03:35] anyone ever get a 4 port pci serial card working under 8.04? i am having a nighmarish time getting a siig cyberserial 4s working. as far as i can tell i have done everything right. the os sees it and all the ports, various status doobers, setserial, etc, all look normal, but i get no input from the devices when i hook things that i know work up to them (using minicom as the app). ideas? [03:36] i connect my pen drive but it doesnt appear on my computer, how do i mount it by command line? [03:36] im trying to change my ssh port for security purposes. I changed sshd_config, but Im still not able to ssh in to the box. Do I need to unblock the port on the firewall or something? [03:36] doofy`: have you restarted the ssh server? [03:37] doofy`: what ssh command are you using to connect? [03:37] is there an open source alternative to Flash? I want to create animations [03:37] Seeker`, yes [03:37] astro ssh rob@192.168.1.104 -p 1025 [03:37] doofy`: not sure if it matters, but try ssh -p 1025 rob@192... [03:38] doofy`: you need to restart sshd and forward a port [03:38] how do I play this [03:38] http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/iphoneroadmap/ [03:38] mneptok, how do i forward the port? [03:38] doofy`: dunno. it's your router. [03:38] im just doing it on my local network [03:38] hi, i'm having trouble getting usb flash drives to work. I've tried a couple of devices. They get power and show up in "lsusb", but not in "/dev/disk/by-id/", any ideas? [03:38] u need to access ur router [03:38] i dont want external access to it. I will forward it on the router when i do [03:38] and enable port forwarding there [03:38] doofy`: then you need to open 1025 in the machine's firewall [03:39] iptables? [03:39] Does '.rdf' in /home//gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'? [03:39] doofy`: if you do "netstat -tln" on the machine, does the port you are trying to use show up? [03:39] I'm getting tired of not getting any help with centos and I'm considering switching to ubuntu for my server configuration(and learning as I'm pretty new to linux).. but I'm concerned with prepriatary packages or other prepriatary things with ubuntu... is that really something I shoudl worry about? (and I do actually research my own problems before I ask questions :-) ) [03:39] bullgard4: it looks like it [03:39] shaft0r, there are tons of different open source options for servers [03:39] Seeker`, no [03:40] axisys, it works in hd [03:40] doofy`: this is the machine that the server is running on? [03:40] Seeker`, yes [03:40] shaft0r: i think you mean "proprietary." and what packages are you referring to? [03:40] Seeker`, nevermind yes it is there [03:40] /msg ubottu etiquette [03:40] bazhang_: hd? [03:40] doofy`: on my computer, it shows up as tcp6 0 0 ::: [03:41] axisys, there are two options, the second is hd [03:41] tcp6 0 0 :::1025 :::* LISTEN [03:41] doofy`: can you ssh in to porn 1025 from the local machine? [03:41] So, I just want to try things out. I have Ubuntu 8.04, but I often run into little bugs that are a pain to fix, or have no fix, and I'm a bit sick of it. Not to say Ubuntu is bad, but I'm wondering if there are any decent alternatives for somebody who isn't quite a linux power user. [03:41] *port [03:41] Seeker`, nope Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [03:41] it keeps saying visual effects cant be enabled . . . is there a package i must install? 8.04 [03:41] doofy`: what command are you typing? [03:42] Or even if many of these bugs are Ubuntu specific (for example, no sound in VLC, pulse audio having problems, the compiz titlebar bug, etc.) [03:42] Anybody have any ideas or suggestions for me? [03:42] user01: you probably need to install your 3d drivers? [03:42] ssh 192.168.1.104 -p 1025 [03:42] dmsuperman, perhaps in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:42] bazhang_, can do [03:42] Seeker`, same thing if I use localhost [03:42] If my desktop freezes (icons disappear, right-click does nothing, etc), how do I restart it without restarting X? [03:42] doofy`: you're sure that's the machine's current IP? [03:43] EvolElm0, my card is a hercules 64 MB GTS prophet pro [03:43] mneptok, yeah I cant spell :-) and I have just heard that there are some.. I dont know of any first hand. [03:43] mneptok, yep [03:43] can i install kde in ubuntu? [03:43] EvolElm0, thats not the same as the nvidia legacy drivers? [03:43] doofy`: Are you sure that there is nothing else running on port 1025? [03:43] doofy`: try "ssh localhost -p 1025" on the actual server [03:43] i.e. can i make ubuntu into kubuntu easily without installing kubuntu? [03:43] doofy`: Try changing it to a much higher number (like 15245) [03:43] Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [03:43] mneptok: I believe that he has already tried it [03:44] anyone having trouble adding a windows printer using system/administration/printing? [03:44] user01: not sure mate.. i had a similar problem, then after i enabled the driver it was all good.. im no pro @ linux.. im a total noob.. :) but it sounds familiar [03:44] t35t0r: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:44] ok guys... i need a hand here...

[03:44] doofy`: try "ssh -vvvvvvv localhost -p 1025" on the actual server [03:44] mneptok, ok [03:44] i don't see an option for windows printers via smb [03:44] EvolElm0, cool, you from the UK or oz? [03:44] aus :) [03:45] is there a command line utility equivalent of chkconfig ? [03:45] does ubuntu support 5.1 sound? atm.. only my centre speaker is working [03:45] did lsmod... and modules "ath_pci" is loaded [03:45] jaytee_: is samba-common package installed?

I've tried three of devices. They get power and show up in "lsusb", but they fail to appear on the desktop, or show up in "/dev/disk/by-id/" [03:45] EvolElm0: Do you have the right speakers plugged into the right place? [03:45] jaytee_: actually smbclient too [03:46] EvolElm0: Also, are you trying to play a 5.1 source? [03:46] mneptok, http://pastie.org/207620 [03:46] Seeker`: yeah plugged in right..

[03:47] EvolElm0: Try swapping the cables around, see if it makes a difference [03:47] yes [03:47] beejeebus, does it show up as a nic? [03:47] Seeker`: in windows mode works fine :( [03:47] beejeebus, ppp0 or something? [03:47] astro76: ah ha!!! you da man! smbclient was missing... [03:47] doofy`: cool. I suspect that there is something already running on that port [03:47] oi ui got a prob [03:47] hello. i've got a router here I don't know the configuration of. I've set up a for loop to do seq 0 254 then doing ifconfig eth0 192.168.$a.10; sleep 5s; ping -c 5 192.168.$a.1, etc. for it to loop through and find out the IP/subnet of the router. Is there a quicker way? the router is not serving dhcp [03:47] EvolElm0, we can do an apartment exchange in winter if you'd like . . . 4 meters here last winter :P [03:47] t35t0r: yes, ppp0 [03:48] muzik, what version of ubuntu [03:48] beejeebus, umm i'm not sure if you can get it to show up in network manager ..don't you need a dialer or something?

[03:59] Not yet, was hoping to use the pulse audio [03:59] FrozenInferno, unmount the partition mounted in /windows [03:59] Where is the apache2 home directory located ? [03:59] FrozenInferno, make sure there's nothing under there that you need [03:59] trevalen try audacity. It might clue you in to what is wrong [03:59] DJ_HaMsTa /etc/apache2 for config, /var/www for data [03:59] t35t0r: I already backed it up, yeah. [03:59] Thanks pros [03:59] FrozenInferno, fdisk /dev/whateverYourDriveIs [04:00] FrozenInferno, (as root) [04:00] I tried searching and couldn't find a definite way to change it. nickrud, do you know of a tutorial or anything of the sort that shows you how to change the username? [04:00] or sudo fdisk /dev/whateverYourDriveIs [04:00] FrozenInferno: Be careful, fdisk can quite easily break your drives if you dont know what you are doing [04:00] Av8rjoker not offhand. I'll take a quick look [04:00] FrozenInferno: Take backups of important data first [04:00] hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I'm having with Ubuntu [04:00] !ask | nehogo [04:00] nehogo: 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. :-) [04:00] I have a Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro, (64 MB) AGP Video Card Guillemot Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro, (64 MB) AGP Video Card, but cant get effects to work . . . is there something in x.org to config? [04:01] FrozenInferno, df -h will give you which partition was mounted at /windows [04:01] Seeker: I've backed up everything important. t35t0r: terminal says that it doesn't know how to handle files with mode 40755 [04:01] wow thank you. I've seen different answers ranging from no you can't change it to yes you can but not everything (home directory, etc) [04:01] what [04:01] haha, kay so I'm using Hardy Heron and when it loads it only gets to 20.2% and I dont mind reinstalling if I need to but I was wondering if I could save my files? [04:01] why are there files with 4755 where what why how? [04:01] what are you trying to do [04:02] nehogo: what you mean by "loads", do you mean when it boots? [04:02] yes :S Sorry, tad tired atm [04:02] i want to get rid of frame buffer and the splash screen on startup [04:02] does anybody have vmware server 2 beta running in ubuntu 8.04 LTS? [04:02] nehogo: how do you know it stops at 20.2%? [04:03] t35t0r: Let me explain: I partitioned my 250 gig disk into four, 2gb for swap, 50gb for a fat32, 110gb for Vista, and the rest for Ubuntu. I mount my 50gb fat32 at /windows. I want to reformat it as ntfs. I've already backed it up and unmounted it, I just need the commands to reformat it [04:03] well once it gets to 20.2% it doesn't load any higher... I booted up and watched a tv show and when I got back it was stuck at 20.2% [04:03] nehogo: I dont remember seeing a % counter on boot [04:03] Is there a way to get irssi to beep at me when I receive a message? [04:03] nehogo: Does it have messages about disk checking? [04:03] FrozenInferno, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [04:04] If my desktop freezes (icons disappear, right-click does nothing, etc), how do I restart it without restarting X? [04:04] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword Av8rjoker [04:04] it doesn't do it often, I think something went weird when I installed hardy heron, it had a message that I had booted 23 times without mounting so it was a force mount [04:04] t35t0r: It listed my partitions [04:04] is there any way to make the computer shutdown when it becomes unresponsive? Even when ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work and I can't get to a terminal via ctral+alt+f1 [04:04] awesome, I'm going to take a look at that [04:04] Darlok_Williams: try killall nautilus [04:05] nehogo: that is the diskchecker, it runs after a certain number of boots to check that your disks are ok [04:05] Carbonflux: Rebooting fixed my usb problem === gnutronic is now known as LtL [04:05] nehogo: If your disks are big, it can take a while [04:05] StevenX: try ctrl+alt+del [04:05] StevenX: Press and hold the power button? [04:05] astro76, when that doesn't work either. [04:05] FrozenInferno, put it on rafb.net/paste [04:05] is there another channel for ubuntu compiz questions? [04:05] StevenX: failing that, look up magic sysrq keys [04:05] Seeker`, yea, that's the one I use. It makes me sad. [04:05] StevenX: failing that, power button ;) [04:05] astro76: That did it. Thank you. [04:05] astro76, thanks. [04:05] its official. I couldn't get hardy heron to work on my computer [04:06] all right, actually that makes sense because I think windows shut down improperly, and ubuntu sometimes gets mad when windows does that... I'll try booting again in unbuntu thanks [04:06] Av8rjoker I haven't found anything that gives all the steps for a complete name change in ubuntu. I'll write up a quicky for you [04:06] bazhang, that only shows how to change the password [04:06] Does '.rdf' in /home//gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf stand for 'resource description file'? [04:07] bullgard4: I have already answered you - From what I can see, it looks like it does [04:07] t35t0r: http://rafb.net/p/9CBU5p79.html [04:07] bullgard4: Resource Description Framework ... http://www.mozilla.org/rdf/doc/ [04:07] Thanks nickrud, I really appreciate that. I'm going to try to make a server and would really like a better username. My current one is too simple [04:07] What am I doing wrong? My computer froze and the num lock and scroll lock lights on the clavier are blinking. === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [04:08] FrozenInferno, that's some nasty partitioning [04:08] oh well [04:08] FrozenInferno, sudo fdisk /dev/sda [04:09] FrozenInferno, then hit 't' to change the label , enter partition 5, label type 7 [04:09] Av8rjoker: what do you mean by "too simple"? [04:09] is there an open source alternative to Flash? I want to create animations [04:09] DeadNed, svg [04:09] astro76, are the magic sysreq key on by default on ubuntu? [04:09] t35t0r: Done. Now what? [04:09] t35t0r, FrozenInferno you sure you don't mean sudo fdisk /dev/sda5 ? [04:09] Has anyone in here used apt-cacher? [04:09] StevenX: I believe they still are === Paijo_paimin_ is now known as silsila [04:09] DeadNed, hit 'w' to write then 'q' to quit [04:09] StevenX: though haven't tried since feisty [04:09] if i want to see what configuration options were used for a package i just installed.. how would i go about finding that? [04:10] astro76, awesome. this is JUST what I was looking for. [04:10] hi all, a couple of times I have had openoffice crash on me when I paste test from a gmail message into a word pro document...also the Firstclass client for Linux causes the system to logout (kid of like ctrl-alt-backspace) when I click on a message to read it. Any ideas what might be causing this or how to log the errors? [04:10] StevenX, yes, they are. [04:10] well I've experimented a while back with a linux server and as soon as I opened port 80, I started getting hit by many login attempts. The usernames they were trying were all very simple names, so I'd like to have a better one. :D [04:10] is this true?: The nvidia-glx-legacy drivers (71.xx series) do not support a few of the OpenGL extensions (composite mainly I think) that desktop effects need. [04:10] DO NOT FDISK /dev/sda5 [04:10] yitz_, thats good news, so clearly finding out how to restart the usb stuff would be useful, I was fairly sure lsusb did it, my mistake, I am glad it worked :) [04:10] ty Ashfire908 [04:10] t35t0r, That doesn't really help, but thanks anyway [04:11] Av8rjoker: If ytou have a secure password / key it shouldn't matter [04:11] Does anyone know where the file for the gnome loading animation is kept? [04:11] Av8rjoker http://paste.ubuntu.com/16522/ . Look that over, and ask any questions you do it :) [04:11] t35t0r: I did what you said. Now what? [04:11] Carbonflux: I coulda tried kicking it, but I do try not to shake my extern HDD around too much. Its got no shock protection [04:11] sorry I was another screen name [04:11] FrozenInferno, reboot to windows and format that partition as ntfs , my computer -> manage -> disk management [04:11] heh [04:11] do any of the live CDs have partimage ? [04:11] nickrud: Will that work properly (i.e. sort out sudo etc.) [04:12] is there a reason why I can't install Hardy Heron [04:12] Seeker, I'd just like to stay on the safer side. My password isn't anything super crazy. It's good, but I'm still a bit nervous because I'm very new yet. [04:12] pukeko: get the SystemRescueCD [04:12] t35t0r: K, will report back. [04:12] did anyone have any problems [04:12] !sysresccd | pukeko [04:12] pukeko: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [04:12] Thank you nickrud, I'm going to check that out now. [04:12] Seeker` oh, good point. I missed sudo [04:12] harushimo explain the problem more specifically [04:12] Seeker` a very good reason to do everything in mainline, not in pms [04:12] Av8rjoker a change follows [04:12] I keep on getting a buffer i/o error on fd0, logical block 0 [04:12] nickrud: I'm not convinced that him changing his username is a good idea [04:13] fdo is floppy? [04:13] when I did the alternate cd, it wouldn't detect any of my cd drives [04:13] astro76: the sysrescue CD has 0.6.7 which wont "work" with my dapper ( 0.6.4 ) ... [04:13] Hello. I've installed Samba, and I'm trying to copy some files into a folder on a Windows computer. [04:13] Ok nickrud, what is that change? [04:13] nickrud: I'm sure there are lots of things like that that have been missed [04:13] yeah, I don't have a floppy [04:13] I've always been able to do it from windows, but I can't do it from Ubuntu. [04:13] harushimo, I find sometimes that happens when you have a dodgey CD ROm drive. I meant the FD0 error [04:13] or maybe I shouldn't change it at all? [04:13] Av8rjoker: I think that just making sure you have a secure password will be sufficient [04:13] little help: Im running hardy with nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) and my login screen is cutoff on the edges. Its not a show stopper, but this happened before, with feisty i think but i cant be sure. After I login my gnome desktop is fine and not cut off. Any ideas? [04:13] how do i insert line breaks to text files? [04:13] TiZ_, install ntfs-3g [04:13] pukeko: hmm, well old versions of systemrescuecd are available for download [04:13] i want to know if the live cd ubuntu may be unsafe for use, since dont have users registered, nor password....? does anyone know? [04:13] if the cd rom isn't working properly [04:13] with a fixed line width [04:14] !ntfs-3g [04:14] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:14] Um, hi. [04:14] its a combo drive, it works fine. I just burnt two cds [04:14] I was having some trouble with my Ubuntu, and I was told I might be able to get some help here. [04:14] !abode [04:14] Xecuter: are you sure that makes a difference? [04:14] It's a shared folder on the network [04:14] neoskylla unsafe in what way? [04:14] Seeker` yes, I missed all the group changes. A better (I guess) would be creating a new user, and transferring any files [04:14] astro76: aahhh ! cheers bro [04:14] !ntfs-3g | TiZ_ [04:14] TiZ_: please see above [04:14] Factoid abode not found [04:14] are there any other security precautions I should keep in mind, or is having a good password good enough? [04:14] Av8rjoker that thing I gave you needs a change [04:14] !acrobat [04:14] Factoid acrobat not found [04:14] Av8rjoker: only open ports you really need [04:14] !acroread [04:14] Factoid acroread not found [04:15] i dont know... rlogin....i guess..... [04:15] Xecuter: It's not a partition on my computer. It's a shared folder on a different computer. [04:15] I don't know what to do [04:15] TiZ_, you still need it [04:15] Yeah, I'd really just like to ssh into my linux computer [04:15] Stedfel: We cant help you if you dont tell us the problem [04:15] Alright... [04:15] gutsy gibbon works great. I had no problem [04:15] Av8rjoker and some more thought on my part. When I do wiki pages, I give the stuff much greater thought than the one off I just gave you. I apologize profusely [04:15] Let me see if I already have it or not [04:15] what do I do [04:15] Basically, Ubuntu won't accept my password/username. I put them in, it goes to the peach screen as if its logging in, then turns black, and then goes back to the sign in screen. [04:15] There are no indicators, such as the red font type, that I put in the wrong combination. [04:15] Oh don't worry about it nickrud. I appreciate you even taking the time to help me. [04:15] neoskylla I guess it is unsafe if someone boots from it and screws up your hd or partitions.....but then any linux livecd would be unsafe in that way [04:16] I already have ntfs-3g. The partition for my windows install is NTFS, and I can get to it. [04:16] Stedfel: I dont think that is a bad username / password then, I think it may have something to do with gnome or X [04:16] And how do I go about fixing that, if I might ask? [04:16] TiZ_, but can you write to it? [04:16] I'm going to go play around with this now. I appreciate both of your suggestions. Thank you nickrud and Seeker. [04:17] Stedfel: have you tried enabling any of the non-feree drivers recently? [04:17] Um, I'm sorry, I don't catch that? [04:17] alright linux junkies i need serious help [04:17] my computer keeps crashing and booting my only hdd as re [04:17] oi [04:17] Stedfel: Have you ever been able to log in? [04:17] No. [04:17] I just acquired Ubuntu today. [04:17] Probably not. I don't need to write to that partition; only my FAT32 one. [04:17] Stedfel: what graphics card do you have? [04:17] I have checked in synaptic. [04:17] I have ntfs-3g. [04:17] how can I install Hardy Heron now? when the upgrade and cd doesn't work [04:18] I have no idea right off hand. [04:18] It's an ATI model, I believe. [04:18] TiZ_, installed? maybe you need to configure it [04:18] harushimo: did you disable your floppy disk in the BIOS? [04:18] Stedfel: Its 4:20am here, so I dont really have the time to go through stuff- one sec [04:18] yeah I did [04:18] there is something like "teleport pro" (to download a whole webpage and linked pages) in ubuntu ? [04:18] I still get the error [04:18] Gohalien: wget [04:18] with both cds(the one I burnt and the one from canonical) [04:19] i dunno then :( [04:19] Perhaps. I'll look into that. Synaptic had a config thing for ntfs partitions. [04:19] wget downloads a whole webpage and follow the links ? [04:19] Would it work, perhaps, to re-install it and maybe leave them blank, or something like that? [04:19] Stedfel, open a terminal and type lspci, then paste output to paste.ubuntu.com (not here) [04:19] Stedfel: like I said, I dont think it is a problem with your username and password [04:19] Gohalien: yes that is what you asked :p [04:20] bazhang_: He can't log in- he gets dumped back at gdm [04:20] buenas noches [04:20] !es | Mater_TuX [04:20] Mater_TuX: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [04:20] bazhang_: I suspect that it is X not starting properly [04:20] what do you think the problem [04:20] heh thanks asheron [04:20] is [04:20] Stedfel, start up with livecd then [04:20] Mater_TuX, buenas noches, spanish only here, join #ubuntu-es or #ubuntu-ar =) [04:20] I fixed the same problem (although with 7.04) by replacing my cd ROM drive [04:20] disculpen alguno de ustedes sabe de algun correo e-mail que en el nombre de usuario permita poner - (guion) y que el dominio no ste tan feo gracias [04:20] anybody here use htop? is it broken? [04:21] I previously had a dodgey old DVD ROm [04:21] adante, i use htop [04:21] o.k sorry [04:21] somtimes i find it displays 100% cpu usage when there isn't anyway [04:21] Okay, doing that. [04:21] adante, why do you think it's broken? [04:21] excuse for my lack of knowlege... sure i know a local login may screw my system... but i want to know if is possible to someone log in remotely from other pc into a livecd instance of ubuntu..somehow? [04:21] I still can't write to the shared Windows folder. [04:21] Gohalien, firefox plugins has that [04:22] if the combo drive is dodgey, my cds should get errors on them but they don't [04:22] they work fine [04:22] bazhang_, that I heard, any clue about the plugin name ? [04:22] I burnt 3 cds today [04:22] Okay, I'm at the Install Log in and all that mess part. [04:22] Gohalien, cant remember off hand-->maybe down them all [04:22] harushimo, I had the same symptoms. For all intents and purposes the drive worked, except for installing Ubuntu (that doesn't mean I'm right by any means though). Out of curiosity, what is your drive? === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [04:23] bazhang_, I was checking download them all, I will try to find the option [04:24] its a benq 4x4x12 dvd+r/cdrw drive [04:24] the drive is already 5 years [04:24] I have Samba installed, and I'm trying to copy files into a shared folder on a Windows computer. I can't create a folder or paste anything. [04:24] I have a problem that is probably really easy to solve: when I boot up my computer, instead of selecting the correct kernel, it stops outright and gives me a choice of three kernels. How can I make it so that it automatically goes to the default kernel without my doing anything and without any delays? [04:24] I would assume that I don't have write access. I could do this easily from Windows, but not from Ubuntu. [04:24] yeah, mine was DVD+r as well. It didn't do -R at all. [04:24] I've got the LiveCD in. [04:25] ? [04:25] Stedfel, open a terminal and type lspci and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com [04:25] Mao2343 you can use system->admin->synaptic to remove the extra kernels [04:25] Thank you ^-^ [04:25] yeah it doesnt do -r at all [04:26] * Surfer32 Visit http://www.FakeMagazineCover.com (upload pic make mag) - http://www.SillyWebcam.com (play with webcam online) - http://www.Is-A-Jerk.com (insulter/anon email) - http://www.ComedySearchEngine.com (fun) - http://www.BodySwitcher.com (put your face on funny body) - http://www.MedChecker.com (health) - http://www.Canuckster.com (Canada eh) - http://www.Nerdful.com (geeks) [04:26] I need help writing to a shared network folder on a Windows computer.

[04:34] Hi, I'm using RutilT for my wireless usb card, it can see my network but says it uses a WEP key when it really uses WPA2, and it won't let me choose anything other than none or WEP [04:34] ToneWhy:vsftpd [04:35] can anyone tell me what key to press to start dark arena? [04:35] pukeko: thanks [04:35] I reckon its probably a permissions thing. NTFS-3G shouldn't have an effect, because you're not directly accessing the file system. [04:35] whoops i meant openarena [04:35] can anyone tell me what key to press to start OpenArena? [04:35] rizky [04:36] try unsecuring the windows share. give full access to "everyone" (make sure to set it in the permissions a well as the share permissions), disable the crappy "authenticate using smartcard" thing... all that... firewall as well? [04:36] tmapj, how about in the menu?? [04:36] what menu? [04:36] I think Windows firewall is on. [04:36] anybody here know much about mdadm for software raid? [04:36] tmapj, the ubuntu main menu [04:36] And I thought I already gave full access to everyone, but I could be wrong. [04:37] how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream [04:37] its worth double checking it [04:37] no i can open OpenArena just fine, I just cant start combat. [04:37] trying to get dialup working on a compaq presario c500(laptop)...gnome-ppp tells me "No modem was found on your system." what do I need to do to get it to detect the modem? [04:37] disable Win Firewall [04:37] tmapj, oh, sorry then ^^ [04:37] np [04:37] Disable Windows Firewall? [04:37] yeah [04:37] 'kay, I'll look into that. [04:37] I'd go the whole hog and take off all the security [04:37] then get it working and re-enable one thing at a time [04:39] Disabling Windows Firewall didn't work. At all. [04:39] worth a shot :P did you check the permissions? [04:39] There's nothing fancy like permissions there. [04:39] Just the share name and whether users can change the files === aaron_ is now known as aaronmt === aaronmt is now known as AaronMT [04:40] thanks ubottu and bazhang [04:40] ah. go Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab > (down the bottom) Untick "Enable Simple File Sharing" [04:40] i have problem with samba, when i type smb://computername/ it displays a blank page (does not show the folder shares) but if i type smb://computername/folder, it prompts for login pass and i can access the share fine, how do i display the shared folder of computername (winxp) [04:40] how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream [04:41] Oh! Okay, thanks! [04:41] TiZ_, then you'll get a new tab when you re-open the properties. there should be a second set of permissions you can now play with [04:41] what does i2c module do in xorg.conf? [04:41] That may very well do it. [04:41] Let's hope. [04:41] fingers crossed [04:42] Haha. Full Control. [04:42] Let's see if it works [04:42] Blast. [04:42] It didn't work. [04:42] hmmm should i just install windows on one of my harddrives to play WOW.. or should i attempt to get it to work through wine? [04:43] can anyone tell me what key to press to start OpenArena? [04:43] TiZ_, sorry mate, I'm out of ideas [04:43] Sorcererbob: i have problem with samba, when i type smb://computername/ it displays a blank page (does not ask for login/password & does not show the folder shares) but if i type smb://computername/folder, it prompts for login pass and i can access the share fine, how do i display the shared folder of computername (winxp), so that i dont have to remember what folders are shared. [04:43] Okay, I guess I'm just a comp idiot, but that won't work. [04:43] Is this true? http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/howto-increase-video-performance-in.html [04:44] i am using dapper but need to install a newer prog - what do i need to do with my sources.list ? [04:44] Stedfel lspci was simply a step, discovering what video card you have so we could give you further advice [04:44] nantax, a problem that I have found with samba is exactly the same as what you've just found. You need to know the name of an existing share to connect to it. I don't know why though. I wonder if there is a fix... [04:44] I'm not even sure how to open up a terminal to do that mess, man. [04:44] I'm computer illiterate as of the moment. [04:44] Sorcererbob: thanks... good thing that the other pc is just near :) [04:44] hi [04:44] Stedfel apps->accessories->terminal [04:44] Ugh, this is crazy. [04:44] how can i install xmms? [04:44] I'll just do what I need to do from Windows later. [04:45] I have to go back to play games sometime anyways. [04:45] candan in 8.04, you'd have to find a third party repo [04:45] Thank you, Nickrud. [04:45] yes [04:45] TiZ_, why?

[04:46] TiZ_, what games are you playing that wont ply better on linux? [04:46] candan: try Audacious, it's the continuation of xmms which is a dead project [04:46] I found it [04:46] ZSNES. osu!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:05] my ubuntu cann't open the Firefox 305 [06:05] still not working === LimCore_ is now known as LimCore [06:05] cmatt85, nautilus is responsible for drawing the desktop [06:05] mmiski, then if anything fail you can always bring it back to the way it was before by doing "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [06:05] AaronH, done [06:05] i see [06:05] how do i start it [06:05] good, mmis [06:05] good, mmiski [06:05] when it open firefox, the interface of Firefox stuck [06:06] cmatt85, open up any folder..nautilus is the file manager [06:06] so what is the reason for this? [06:06] cmatt85, works? [06:06] no [06:06] i can see the file viewer [06:06] but i still have no icons [06:06] cecc: stuck? [06:07] cmatt85, run from terminal...run the grep command first [06:07] crap [06:07] AaronH, bummed my monitor isn't listed [06:07] easiest way to send a file from one ubuntu box to the next via LAN ? [06:07] I have a question I've been asking for -- who knows how long! I try to log-in GAIM 1.50 (something like that) and it closes out.. when I login. Not in the systray, trust me i'm not an idiot. I'[m on an imac g3 running ubuntu 5.10 [06:07] cmatt85, using the default icon theme is assume? [06:07] mmiski, doesn't matter generic monitor drivers work great [06:07] can someone running hardy do me a favor of visiting this site in firefox with flash-nonfree installed, and tell me if their cpu usage spikes to near 100%? [06:07] yes [06:07] cmatt85, some icon themes are buggy/incomplete [06:07] k [06:07] when i am try to install the advance desktop all i get is this msg : W: Failed to fetch http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/compizconfig-settings-manager/compizconfig-settings [06:07] meltingclock yes [06:07] MrPocknix__: Samba or VNC [06:08] AaronH, k, I'll give it a shot [06:08] cecc: what do you mean [06:08] I think, it is sthing about the gnome [06:08] cmatt85, terminal output? [06:08] meltingclock the firefox's interface stuck === aRyn_ is now known as aRyn [06:09] what do you mean by "stuck"...not responding? [06:09] and even the pidgin's face stuck [06:09] yes [06:09] it seems to be busy [06:09] W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [06:09] hmm [06:09] Hhai apa cabar ! [06:09] if I get a book on linux/ubuntu, should I get one that's for linux in general or one that specializes towards ubuntu? [06:09] but the cpu usage is not too much [06:09] ledmushroom, are you connecting to a local proxy on port 4001? [06:09] hi i need help settin up my vsftpd server. is there any tutorial on this step by step. i don't want to have anon people login. but want to specify a user [06:09] That worked! thank you! [06:09] mmiski, that "gksu displayconfig-gtk" will allow you to test the setting before you set them too [06:10] cmatt85, glad to help..what happened exactly though? [06:10] ariqs: A book on Ubuntu. [06:10] was uninstalled the proxy and tor and tork [06:10] tork? [06:10] ariqs, depends what you are looking for. [06:10] In the update manager, when it says something like "Non-free Linux 2.6.24 modules helper script", in the description, what does that mean? It's the description of "linux-restricted-modules-common", whatever that is. [06:10] anirudh0 That worked! Thank you! will they stay there? [06:10] cecc: I have no idea. I was going to ask about your cpu usage but it's not much you say [06:10] meltingclock yesterday when I turn off my ubuntu, the power button can not be used [06:10] cmatt85, if you _really_ need it..i have some stuff to do otherwise [06:10] syntux: understanding. I want to be able to figure things out without having to come in these rooms and ask for a few days [06:11] cmatt85, hay..misread the question :) [06:11] I think, maybe there is sth wrong with the gnome [06:11] can anyone help me with my vsftpd server? [06:11] I mean the desktop environment [06:11] anybody know how to fix CD and DVD Creator in Nautilus? [06:11] cmatt85, yes..they should..else add nautilus& to the startup programs in sys>prefs>sessions [06:11] ok thanks [06:11] ariqs, being able to figure things out without asking is matter of experience in finding your way rather than knowledge in certain topic [06:11] ill do that [06:11] when i am try to install the advance desktop all i get is this msg : W: Failed to fetch http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/compizconfig-settings-manager/compizconfig-settings... [06:11] runemast1, why not just use gnomebaker === jacob_ is now known as Guest16214 [06:12] cecc: that is very strange...hmm.. i'm unsure how to trouble troubleshoot this one [06:12] meltingclock anyway, is there a method to reinstall the ubuntu? [06:12] a base set of knowledge is the requirement for being able to figure things out [06:12] cmatt85, it also means that your home folder will get opened in the file manager when you login [06:12] thank you meltingclock [06:12] yeah, I saw that when i started nautilus [06:12] cecc: completely? you could always reformat and reinstall... [06:12] cecc, have you tried other environments like xfce? [06:12] last resort, though? [06:12] however it is indeed a troubel thing [06:13] ariqs, if you want to dive into Ubuntu then get some ubuntu books or better start reading the https://help.ubuntu.com/ [06:13] anirudh0 not on ubuntu [06:13] cecc, is your computer of an ancient variety? [06:13] why did the icons not show up when nautilus want started from the terminal [06:13] ? [06:13] gmenelau: the server you're using doesn't have the file. 404 not found. use another mirror. [06:13] anirudh0 not A ancient one [06:13] but made on 2003 [06:13] cmatt85, you need to kill all instances of nautilus..then start it again === MaddMaxx is now known as Mao2343 [06:13] ariqs, if you want to dive into another topic within linux, like linux development, programming, packaging, networking etc.. you have to get a specific book about it and hopefully it matches your favorite distribution. [06:13] k [06:13] AaronH: i tried. it didnt like the "more than 6 nested directories" [06:14] I have no idea how to fix genome [06:14] cecc, :)..2 years old is ancient for computers nowadays [06:14] oh [06:14] things are trouble here [06:14] lol it should be fine [06:14] cecc, but that should'nt be a problem..disable compiz [06:14] hehe, I think my laptop is still good, [06:14] cecc, should help with responsiveness.. [06:14] ledmushroom: have you looked in system>prefs>network proxy and click direct connection? [06:14] anirudh0 yes [06:14] this computer I'm on is around 5 - 7 years old [06:15] no, i mean i could start the file browser from the gnome-bar, and it would work, but i still had no desktop icons [06:15] and I didn't use compiz [06:15] why did starting it from the terminal make them appear [06:15] syntux: I'm a bit of a programmer already. What gets me is the basics of linux ;P [06:15] ariqs, One of the best way to learn is to keep an eye on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu check the new questions, google it and give an answer but you have to be careful and you have to do your best to give a proper answer. [06:15] cmatt85, it starts with an option when you start from the panel.. "--filemanger-mode" or something like that [06:16] yes [06:16] SOMEON EHELP ME. GAIM CLOSES OUT EVERYTIME I LOGIN AND I AM TIRED OF ASKING THIS OVER 9000 TIMES [06:16] ok [06:16] thanks for the help. [06:16] that has been click everything is working but the package manager [06:16] um bye then [06:16] john__, the logical thing to do is to remove gaim..and install pidgin [06:16] ariqs, are you up to take online courses? if so go and signup for Ubuntu Certified Professional course http://ubuntu.savoirfairelinux.com/elearning/ [06:16] I installed/compiled,etc my graphics drivers about 30 times before I got them to work. I bugged people in here for days about it and never got anywhere. I don't want that to happen again [06:16] is there a way to make sed write to the same files in reads from? [06:16] AaronH, do i have to open displayconfig-gtk as sudo if I want changes to keep? when I hit apply or okay then open it again it is back to original [06:16] hellow [06:16] I am unable to modify folders in the Filesystem directory from the desktop manager, since they belong to root. I also cannot change the permissions via the file manager. Is there any way to unlock them? Running latest version of Ubuntu. [06:16] no, I don't like superficial pieces of paper, nor do I like structure. I want a book :p [06:17] ariqs, it's really good one. [06:17] hellow flower [06:17] orgonurg: use sudo [06:17] anirudh0, i dont see an ubuntu one on the pidgin place.. i see fedora core. [06:17] What's the command to unlock it? Or do you mean I should move/delete/whatever files using the terminal? [06:17] mmiski, yes you have do sudo or gksu for that config program to save the changes === jacob_ is now known as Guest91080 [06:18] ledmushroom: open synaptic>settings>preferences>network direct connection clicked? [06:18] john_: go to synaptic manager and search for 'pidgin' [06:18] AaronH, duh, at least I figured it out (kind of) [06:18] :) [06:18] orgonurg, how did they become owned by root ? [06:18] yes [06:18] meltingclock: i searched for pidgin and nothing came up. i'm running ubuntu 5.10 on an imac g3. that's definitely probably why [06:19] Syntux: it was like that when I installed Ubuntu. [06:19] ah yeah probably not avaliable, someone might correct me, though [06:19] fuck to all mans [06:19] ...wat [06:19] there always one [06:19] AaronH, it says I have to restart - is there a way to just restart xwindows? [06:19] lolwat@ubuntu [06:20] john_: anyway.... logging out...of the accounts? [06:20] AaronH, or should I just reboot.... [06:20] orgonurg, nearly impossible anyway a quick fix could be "sudo chown $USER:$USER -R ~/Desktop" without the quotes. [06:20] meltingclock: i only have msn added. i login, it closes out. and it sure as hell logs me in because my friend says he sees me logging in. it just keeps closing [06:20] Hello again, I've got the java runtime environment and flashplayer installed, but can not see video on youtube.. [06:20] mmiski, yes, you can do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [06:21] orgonurg, chown - change file owner and group, check the manpage for more information, man chown === b4l7424r is now known as kjl| [06:21] you will have to type that twice..... because the first one will kill your X windows and you will have to re-enter that command [06:21] The Virtual Network Computing client executable is /usr/bin/vinagre. What is the executable of the Virtual Network Computing server? [06:21] mmiski, [06:21] AaronH, thanks, i'm gonna kill IRC for a sec - brb [06:21] k [06:21] john__: right. logging out of the account or the program itself [06:21] ? [06:22] meltingclock: wellllll it logs me out then closes the program. like, i login.. list shows, then BAM it closes. [06:22] so both [06:22] Syntux: That didn't seem to do it. When I go to any folder in the Filesystem, then to Properties->Permissions it still says owner is root and that I cannot change the settings. Can't modify any of the folders. [06:23] LtL i tried many server even the main not such luck [06:23] orgonurg, did you perform that command ? [06:23] Yes [06:23] how to download a webpage with wget -rk option, but I want all links only under a websubdirectory, like: wget -rk www.blabla.com/ilikeicecream (but I want the stuff/links/images only if it is under /ilikeicecream [06:23] john__: that's very weird but i've had problems with gaim/msn in the past. this sounds more like a GAIM problem though, lemme do some googling [06:23] orgonurg, can you paste the output of "ls -l ~/Desktop" to http://paste.syntux.net [06:23] meltingclock: okay i'll wait [06:24] orgonurg, are you logged in as root by any chance? [06:24] Sorry, I think there might be some confusion here. I CAN modify things on the desktop; it's all of the other folders that are owned by root [06:24] orgonurg, Ok, lets clear it up here [06:25] orgonurg, what files are you talking about? [06:25] john__: this is a toughie [06:25] meltingclock; yeah i tried googling myself for the answer and it was hard [06:25] Well, I wanted to install a new set of icons, so went to usr->share-> etc etc. Icons folder is locked [06:26] freakin crap [06:26] john__: just outta curiosity, do you have an account for something else that you could just try? i.e. an AIM sn or yahoo sn etc [06:26] Can't copy/paste the new icon set into that directory. [06:26] meltingclock: i'll try aim [06:26] Do I just use that same command, only replace Desktop with the specific directory I want to unlock? [06:26] okay. lemme know if it logs/closes out too. === [cE_ExEmPhE_FZ_C is now known as [[cE_ExEmPhE_nne === [[cE_ExEmPhE_nne is now known as [[cE_ExEmPhE_nnE [06:27] meltingclock: IT DOESN'T close out [06:27] orgonurg, of course, that folder is locked for root; if you want to copy and paste your new set of icons you have to install them from "System -> Preferences -> Appearance" [06:27] orgonurg, No that would mess things up [06:27] Oh, okay. I tried installing them from there but for some reason it did not work. [06:28] I thought I had to manually paste the new folder into the icons directory. [06:28] john__: that's effin creepy [06:28] orgonurg, the thing about your case is that icons installation takes more than copying and pasting them into that directory [06:28] ledmushroom: anything in /etc/environment regardin localhost 4001? [06:28] john__: i really don't know. i remember a couple yrs ago gAIM wouldn't even let me sign on to MSN for a while [06:28] Could you tell me how to do it? Or link me to a step by step guide about it? [06:28] orgonurg, take it as 'the system has to register the new set into its database' so copying and pasting wont work, most likely. [06:29] Oh, I see. [06:29] i want my ubuntu to connect the printer of another win pc, i can see the test paper reached the win one, but it can not be printed , printer :sharp A 158s [06:29] meltingclock: i'mma try to readd my msn name just for the hell of it, which i'm sure it doesnt work that way ;) [06:29] john__: what throws me off is that you said it closes out of the program, too [06:30] orgonurg, if you are not able to install it through Appearance interface then it wasn't made for Ubuntu and/or it is not compatible with it [06:30] meltingclock: whoa MSN works [06:30] high five [06:30] I've got an odd problem with permissions of an fstab mounted partition [06:30] meltingclock: i just readded my name.. and i added an alias too.. maybe i was supposed to have an alias? [06:30] It's a GNOME icon set [06:30] orgonurg, where did you get your icons from ? [06:30] WOOO GAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM WORKS. I'm going now, if i have more proiblems i'll come back. [06:30] it shouldn't need an alias. if its blank it would just show up as email@email.com yea? [06:30] I have R/W permissions on it, but all the files on it currently show as belonging to root, not me. [06:31] I got it over at gnome-look.org -- it's the Black-White 2 Style set. [06:31] orgonurg, url please [06:31] orgonurg, http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-11.html.en [06:31] hi i'm having trouble with my graphics can anyone help me?

[06:34] well thats what i meant and its not there [06:34] Hmm, strange. Didn't see anyone else with issues in the comments section. [06:34] <|ns|nR8> tony_, ive had to install nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new on a laptop [06:34] orgonurg, you have a tarball don't you? [06:34] /msg ubottu etiquette [06:34] The Virtual Network Computing client executable is /usr/bin/vinagre. What is the executable of the Virtual Network Computing server? [06:34] Yeah [06:34] ledmushroom: using hardy? [06:35] élo [06:35] yes [06:35] well i upgraded [06:35] from gutsy [06:35] Do I need to convert it to .deb or something to properly install it?

[06:35] <|ns|nR8> no orgonurg sudo dpkg -i file.deb [06:36] orgonurg, you should extract & copy the content to this directory..

I cut/copy it and then right click on the folder and paste doesn't come up as an option. what do I do? [06:36] can i load windows from ubuntu..i mean..while i using linux..can i load win without restart? [06:36] Anyone know if there is a way to reclaim the sound device from firefox? [06:36] orgonurg, if you still don't see the theme under themes then there most likely is a problem with the theme [06:37] <|ns|nR8> no JbCrash [06:37] ohh ok [06:37] thot want do something..kekeke [06:37] ledmushroom: in terminal type ifconfig anything about localhost:4001?

[06:40] nope [06:40] meltingclock: oh damn [06:40] john__: but essentially, a few other people had a similar problem. two suggestions were: disable sound in gAIM (I don't know why....) or download an older version of gAIM for your distro [06:40] meltingclock: i'll disable sound first [06:41] |ns|nR8, which graphics card did you get workin. i'm using geforce fx 5200go [06:41] can someone help me read encrypted dvds? i've installed the libdvdcss2 and still cant run this movie [06:41] alright. I hope one of these things help [06:41] <|ns|nR8> tony_, that was exact card [06:41] meltingclock: disabling sound doesnt work [06:41] <|ns|nR8> go card in laptop [06:42] <|ns|nR8> only prob was the decorator in compiz didnt work straight away [06:42] meltingclock: i need an older version but i dont really know where to get one. the sourceforge page doesnt seem to have any anymore and oldversion.com is stuipid and only mirrors windows versions [06:42] <|ns|nR8> but that might have been some other prob [06:42] |ns|nR8, i just removed the nvidia new, and installed just glx. and i press ctrl alt backspace. should that get it to work? [06:43] <|ns|nR8> um that might work...prolly reboot wouldnt hurt [06:43] <|ns|nR8> try it [06:43] |ns|nR8, ok [06:43] john__: okay... wow, im sure they're ARCHIVED somewhere. but, anyway, you said you can't remove gAIM without removing gnome-desktop?? [06:43] I need help with changing file permissions of all the files on one of my partitions [06:43] my touchpad on my gateway laptop doesn't work coming out of suspend, but does work coming out of hibernate, EVEN IF it previously didn't work after a suspend. However, restarting X doesn't fix it. Any ideas about what hibernate is doing that I can use for suspend restores? [06:44] meltingclock: well it said ubuntu-desktop but it must mean gnome i guess i dont know [06:44] Does anyone know how to release a sound device from a process manually? [06:44] tripps probably some module didn't get loaded [06:44] compare lsmods for when it works and doesn't. [06:44] o sorry, ubuntu destop. gotcha. [06:44] someone with a little more experience might be able to further help you, but i'm outta ideas [06:44] jngu1, I've done that and there is no difference between both states [06:44] sorry [06:45] john_: i believe that when it says it need to remove ubuntu_desktop it just means the meta package for the application you are trying to remove [06:45] can anyone teach me how to setup vsftpd server with a user+passord login? [06:45] soldats: is your name named after the game?..........and well is it safe to remove ubuntu-desktop if i'm just going to get it back from reinstalling gaim? [06:45] Why does Ubuntu (Hardy) no longer provide the DEB program package 'vncserver'? [06:46] is there a cpu-z type program for ubuntu? [06:46] taquitos: What do you mean by 'cpu-z type'? [06:47] <|ns|nR8> bullgard4, usually that means its been replaced with something else [06:47] john_: not from the game but the anime Noir. and it should be fine to allow it to be removed. it wont actually remove the desktop(gnome). its just meta stuff [06:47] ledmushroom: is anon-proxy installed? [06:47] bullgard4: there's a program called cpu-z which monitors sytem info like processor.. etc... it's awesome [06:47] I am trying to extract a cairo clock theme but I can't copy/paste it to the folder. I cut/copy it and then right click on the folder and paste doesn't come up as an option. what do I do? [06:47] soldats: okay i'll try it. i'll be back if it fails.

[06:48] Why wouldn't it let me know copy/paste? [06:48] |ns|nR8, so the restart didn't help.. was that all you did to get it to work? [06:48] bullgard4: something that will tell me what speed my RAM is running [06:48] . [06:48] I am trying to extract a cairo clock theme but I can't copy/paste it to the folder. I cut/copy it and then right click on the folder and paste doesn't come up as an option. what do I do? [06:48] Why wouldn't it let me know copy/paste?

[06:49] ledmushroom: any hidden file in your home directory that say anything like .anon-proxy or .tor or .privoxy? [06:49] look gimme a sec [06:49] i meant looking [06:50] |ns|nR8: Tried helping instead of policing? [06:50] |ns|nR8, o man.. ok i'll try that too lol [06:50] you know, ubuntu's little happy circle of holding hands on the cd and official book are so sappy, i'm sure it runs people off [06:50] Is there some reason that when I try to paste a copied file to a folder it won't offer the option to paste? Do I need root access? [06:50] <|ns|nR8> it was a question bullgard4 [06:50] <|ns|nR8> you could answer it like " no i havent" [06:51] taquitos: Try 'sudo lshw -class network', 'sudo lshw -class memory', 'sudo lshw -class processor'. === fserve_ is now known as fserve [06:52] Hi, when scroll the mouse wheel, in any direction, it goes to the bottom of the page.

[06:54] nickolaus: yes [06:54] bullgard4, I believe it was vino. [06:55] legend2440 yes only the 2 .tor and .tork [06:55] ledmushroom: maybe if you read through any conf or configure files in them they will say which file or files localhost:4001 is set in [06:55] How do I get root access in the gui? [06:55] nickolaus: just accept the warning "yes" [06:56] ahh gaim still closed out.. also maybe i just need to update? on a mac when something closes out right away i just needed to update to the latest but does this applyto this? since this is an older version that might need some updating a bit [06:56] nickolaus: or go the terminal, gksudo whatever app you need root for [06:56] nickolaus: ie 'gksudo nautilus' then it should let you copy paste [06:56] Ahadiel: I see.

[07:00] yeah I was thinking the same....um, i've never updated to a different ver of ubuntu heh [07:00] what could be the reason?

[07:04] nope, hadn't come back after a reboot either [07:04] hi world [07:04] PCcertified: a hub? switch? === sriram_ is now known as u [07:04] ledmushroom: look in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname any mention of localhost:4001? [07:04] viyyer: a long shot could be some type of malfunction on the motherboard. maybe a gnarly powerloss or something. [07:05] meltingclock: apparently it updated.. it said READING PACKAGE LISTS...DONE [07:05] let me give you a senario, I have 2 pc's and my ubuntu box has 2 network cards, one of them connected to the net [07:05] ok, my menubar has gone, and alt-F2 does nothing... where do I start to diagnose this? [07:05] PCcertified, dont use enter as punctuation. [07:05] I've a problem: when I try to shutdown the pc in my ubuntu box with gnome, before that the shutdown window shows I must wait 2 minutes with a crashed pc [07:05] john__: was reading this link. you said ubuntu 5 something? [07:05] john_: now do a sudo apt-get upgrade [07:05] PCcertified, you could also use wifi connectivity [07:05] gnomeICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 10237, errno = 11 [07:05] since my ubuntu box will always be on, I want to connect to the internet on my other PC by connecting to the ubuntu box 2nd nic [07:06] soldats: okay [07:06] john__: says only 6.06 and 7.10 can be directly upgraded to hardy [07:06] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [07:06] u wifi not available [07:06] has anybody uses avr-gcc ? [07:06] ahh yea you may need the hardy disk if you want to do that or get the 7.10 disk [07:06] meltingclock: oh damn.. well how about this.. is there any way i can install amsn on this? [07:07] PCcertified, hub or switch will do. how many computers, by the way? [07:07] 2 pc's on ubuntu with 2 nic's and another PC soon to be ubuntu [07:07] soldats, this has been again and again for last 5-6 months. on both gutsy and hardy [07:07] yeah when hell freezes over...no, I don't know. you could google MSN linux client to find an alternative to gaim [07:07] i'm running ubuntu 7.10 gusty gibbon o a compaq presario v5000 series laptop. how do i setup the wireless internet connection? [07:07] soldats, just a couple of minutes ago my box rebooted [07:07] PCcertified: you can do it with a second NIC but a switch would be much more sensible [07:07] ooops one has 2 nics and the other only 1 nic [07:08] meltingclock; okay i'll google [07:08] viyyer: it sounds like it could be a power adapter connection problem [07:08] john__: okay. ive only used pidgin on linux so I don't know any names offhand to give you [07:08] soldats, when this happens the screen dims and brightens back.. also the battery indicator show's not connected and connects back [07:08] how can I update gcc if synaptic doesnt mark it as "updateable" ? [07:08] most dsl modems include a fourport switch anyhow.. [07:09] soldats, and there is a click kinda sound [07:09] PCcertified, switch will be the most sensible. thats because only one has 2 nics so you wont have full connectivity when any one is turned off. [07:09] webbi, sudo aptitude upgrade ? [07:09] meltingclock: amsn is one but the oldest version i've seen was for dapper [07:09] <_eMaX_> hi all [07:09] ok, my menubar has gone, and alt-F2 does nothing... where do I start to diagnose this?

[07:10] viyyer: yes that deffinitely sounds like a bad DC connection on the motherboard. especially if it shows battery then doesnt show it. its possible that it could hurt the battery as well as the heat synch [07:10] <_eMaX_> hmm. evolution just crashes after a couple of seconds [07:10] alan_m, it doesnt show me to update gcc to 4.3 [07:10] alan_m, I have currently gcc 4.1 [07:10] hey, I just got a new hard drive, and I'm trying to setup my fstab but it keeps switching: what mounts initially as /dev/sda1 becomes /dev/sdb1 after it has completed starting (and vice versa), so my root is fine but I can't access my second partition... can anyone help me out? [07:10] webbi, even with the instructions i just gave you? [07:10] u consider this as my setup, PC 1 connects to PC 2, PC 2 then connects to my internet. [07:10] soldats, what could be the solution? [07:11] alan_m, yes [07:11] 你去打 [07:11] >_> [07:11] ㄑ [07:11] ㄑㄎ [07:11] There's something wrong with the permissions of my files on a partition [07:11] o_OO_o>_<<_>O____________O-_- [07:11] viyyer: you should have the DC jack checked out at a local computer shop. if its loose it could hurt it bad. they will usually visually inspect it for free. its your best bet id say [07:11] 阿你不要炒 [07:11] ledmushroom: so /etc/hosts has two lines on top that start with 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 ?

Like, i'd like to revert evolution back to a previous version before the latest upgrade [07:19] zcat[1]: now try "gnome-taskbar" [07:19] zcat[1]: you could try `XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal` in a VT, i.e. ctrl + alt + f1 [07:19] there's no gnome-taskbar: command not found [07:19] poo619: probably the graphic card is not detected or the memory is corrupt [07:19] _eMaX_: I'm unsure of the actual command; if no one can help you here then try googling 'ubuntu rollback program' or something similiar [07:19] well, gonna go try to get some sleep myself, sounds like a great idea, ill be back later. [07:20] _eMaX_: you will have a hard time downgrading Evolution without downgrading Gnome. they are very tightly integrated and as far as I know need to be the same version [07:20] AaronH, hey Aaron had to restore my .config back up file - I made the the two monitors stretched out but couldn't move apps around [07:20] ari how can I get the GPU corrected [07:20] as I fear that is what it is [07:20] I believe I have an onboard intel [07:20] Can sombody help me with the permissions for a private SMB share?

[07:21] <_eMaX_> PedanticSteve: thanks - that is what I was not hoping... Do you know of a way to move mails out of evolution?

Moved nicely into an imap store [07:23] anyways can someone answer my annoyingly typed question? [07:24] Is it their problem for the moment and I shouldn't bother, or is there something I can diddle with to make it work? [07:24] i dont know whish file format to use i mean [07:24] john_: and the answer is none of the above - use apt. [07:24] john_, what is the package name [07:24] ari_stre1s: well I don't ahve much experience with permissions in general, but I have a share that I would like for only my client to have access to... read/write/execute, everything [07:24] ledmushroom: good [07:24] bazhang: amsn [07:24] viyyer: no just a visual check of the DC jack. it takes seconds and is usually free [07:24] ari_stre1s: and right now it's not working at all [07:24] john_, then none. [07:24] bazhang: why [07:24] john_, get it from repos [07:24] john, what is your question? [07:24] and sweet to i was just about to reinstall [07:25] !info amsn | john_ [07:25] john_: amsn (source: amsn): An MSN messenger written in Tcl. In component universe, is optional.

[07:25] Bllz: paste your smb.conf in www.pastebin.ca [07:25] zcat[1]: i thought you used xfce [07:25] so hwo do i download that one through terminal [07:25] im trying to get my Intel 3945abg [07:25] Bllz: actually there is already samples in smb.conf [07:25] working with 8.04 [07:25] i'm not that familiar with ubuntu [07:25] soldats: not for ages .. [07:25] soldats, I am not sure about the dc jack.. but the wire from the adapter is slightly cut. that could be a reason ? [07:25] open synaptic and install it john_ [07:25] soldats: althought I might as well be using fvwm at the moment :( [07:25] bazhang_: i'm using ubuntu 5.10 and it's not listed there [07:26] john_ system->admin->synaptic , that's the place you look for software you want to install. [07:26] john_, that is not supported--->get a more recent version [07:26] viyyer: yes that could be it, im sure youll be fine, but if it acts up in the future remember my advice [07:26] john_: 5.10 has been unsupported for a year now [07:26] ari_stre1s: where is smb.conf located in the directory tree? [07:26] bazhang_: i'm using an imac g3 [07:26] hi i need help please. [07:26] ledmushroom: you can download remastersys directly from here i would get latest version 205 ithink http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository/remastersys/ [07:26] john_ oh, 5.10. That's very obsolete, doesn't get security updates [07:26] John, the easiest thing to do is to use aptitude instead of apt [07:26] john__: i think you just spun around in circles huh [07:26] soldats, sure thanks a million.. [07:26] apparently my packages are horribly broken, I'll try dist-upgrade and see if it can fix this mess [07:26] john_, there are more recent version for ppc [07:26] Anyone using gnome and ssh keyauth have a second to confirm a bug for me? [07:26] meltingclock: O hai thar [07:26] !ppc | john_ [07:26] john_: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [07:26] soldats, I was worried about the MB being affected [07:27] I need some help with Totem in Ubuntu 8.04 [07:27] Bllz: it's /etc/samba [07:27] i am trying to get into my step mothers email addy who has been molseting my kids. and have been trying all her passwords she may have used. can someone tell me how i can go about getting the password? [07:27] heh [07:27] Doug_-_-_-_ no. Off limit question here [07:27] maybe i should ubuntu on my old ppc [07:27] bahang_: it was a bitch to install this one. 7.10 didn't even boot.. slow, etc. so i used tihs one [07:27] Bllz: probably you want to use webmin. it's a GUI tool [07:27] nickrud, can u guide me to a room? [07:27] Doug_-_-_-_: if it's that serious, call the police. [07:27] john_, last warning on language [07:27] viyyer: well if nothing else happens you should be fine just make sure you notice these things. something could still be wrong but not apparent at the moment, if you notice the battery not gaining a charge get it checked [07:28] Doug_-_-_-_: guide yourself to the fucking cops -- idiot. [07:28] Doug_-_-_-_: start with a court order .. [07:28] Doug_-_-_-_ I don't spend any time on cracking, so I have no clue [07:28] zcat[1]: hahah nice. [07:28] EvanCarroll, no cursing [07:28] !language | all [07:28] all: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:28] Daisuke_Ido, i have. we are in court over this now they do nto believe us. [07:28] and since you're not interested in calling the police, i can say with 100% certainty that you just want to break into someone's email [07:28] What's happening is that my Totem player will freeze at random points during music playback. [07:28] imagine a family sitting on a couch trying to get help in this IRC [07:28] my family can't use linux [07:28] so.... don't ask about it here, it'll never happen [07:29] hi [07:29] john__: so, what are you gonna do. quite the predicament [07:29] ari_stre1s: http://www.pastebin.ca/1037569 [07:29] John, if you can't use sudo aptitude install {name of file}, then i don't know.... [07:30] hi all [07:30] Doug_-_-_-_, what? [07:30] meltingclock: either smash my imac g3 or try to get help on installing an older version of gaim that might work [07:30] I find my problem on ubuntu [07:30] john_ sadly to say, I would recommend you look for a different distro for ppc [07:30] Is it true that FAT32/16 doesn't support file permissions or symlinks? [07:30] xTheGoat121x yes [07:30] Doug_-_-_-_: you either get a court order in which case the courts force them to hand over the password, or what you are doing won't be admissible in court anyway, even if you get a court order later, you'll have interfered with the evidence [07:30] john__: so what youre saying is, when I go buy a new computer I need to stick to PCs? [07:30] whenever I start a apps who is in the menus internet [07:30] nickrud, Oh. [07:30] dapper will work fine on that john_ [07:31] the app will stick [07:31] meltingclock: nope :( [07:31] #ubuntu-offtopic [07:31] meltingclock, keep it on topic [07:31] !help [07:31] 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 ;) [07:31] ty [07:31] again [07:31] yeah but i'm only using this til i get my PC built. so i just need GAIM working then everything would be fine for me here. [07:31] i thought i was... eh [07:32] john_, get dapper then [07:32] ledmushroom: no problem [07:32] reboot time wish me luck [07:32] whois u [07:32] anybody can help me? [07:32] nickrud, then I'm going to have to move all my files, format my drive, and then put all the files back?! [07:32] meltingclock: If you get a new mac is will probably be intel based, not ppc.. I don't think they're making ppc macks any more? [07:32] bazhang_: can i upgrade through here or do i have to burn another disc and cry for an hour while waiting for this to install? [07:32] Anyone using gnome and ssh keyauth have a second to confirm a bug for me? tell me before you try it: gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --full-screen -e "ssh host-with-passkey" [07:32] cecc, whats the problem [07:32] what is your problem cecc? [07:32] xTheGoat121x if you're trying to do anything except use the fat32/16 as a dumb data store, yes [07:32] all internet apps stick on my ubuntu [07:33] what version? [07:33] john_, no need for the melodrama; download and burn but use the alternate cd [07:33] john_: the only suggestion i can give for that is if you can install "finch" its text based aim and msn youd have to learn a few key commands but it works really well [07:33] any way to solve the problem [07:33] ubuntu 8.04 [07:33] what do you mean? "stick" [07:33] nickrud, well... it seems that one of my script files will not execute properly on that dumb data store. [07:33] when the app starts. === theodore is now known as Anti-Tedd [07:33] soldats: wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i'm used to different fonts and all. [07:33] it is busy [07:33] Can anyone here help me with the trouble I'm having with Totem? [07:33] oops keyboard [07:33] and just stop there [07:33] xTheGoat121x could be. Or, you have the disk mounted noexec [07:33] any suggestions [07:33] Kelvari, try vlc [07:33] Kelvari: what's the problem? [07:34] what application...all of them? [07:34] cecc how much ram [07:34] john_: you can't handle a font change? [07:34] nickrud, would that be in my fstab...? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [07:34] there's versions of amsn on uhh.. the sourceforge if i can just figure out how to get it from there if someone helps me [07:34] cecc, could you pls state the problem again in a single line and stop using enter as a punctuatiuoon? [07:34] xTheGoat121x: fat32 doesn't know about permissions bits so you probably can't mark the file +x [07:34] xTheGoat121x yes. You can see how it's mounted now with mount . [07:34] Daisuke_Ido: no man, no that's crazy... no i miss my Arial ;_;.. === kei_ is now known as Keiyentai [07:34] k1duga1: what's happening is that Totem is freezing (no errors) at random points during audio playback. [07:34] john__: pm me the link, we can try to figure this out heh [07:34] meltingclock: okay [07:34] u Ok my internet apps all stick and busy when I start them [07:34] i'm using gutsy. no flash sound on firefox. any fix? [07:34] John first step is to get dapper (support) and then your worries are over [07:35] nickrud, it is mounted noexec... how would I go about changing that? [07:35] meltingclock: how do i pm here? [07:35] all the internet apps, hehe is it about my firewall? [07:35] try starting totem via terminal and check for errors when it freezes [07:35] What are some good eye candies? [07:35] wow I can't believe how screwed up my laptop got just by running out of diskspace!

[07:36] xTheGoat121x in /etc/fstab, for the line where you have the vfat partition defined, add the word exec to the options section [07:36] not sure about firewall [07:37] cecc [07:37] yes? [07:37] nickrud: yeah but i'm only using breezy for a few days until i get my computer built. i dont care about the security issues unless it's srs business [07:37] shouldn't be a problem sending out [07:37] I can not use firefox pidgin xchat ,,, [07:37] Which one is 4.10, ran into someone running that yesterday.. will be helping him upgrade on saturday hopefully [07:37] cecc, whats the size of ur ram?

[07:38] was quite surprised at how useable it was... I thought it was much worse [07:38] .. but it's not as hairy as I remember [07:38] soldats, its not acting up for now.. [07:38] John_ only a few days then use googletalk [07:38] are you connected to the internet cecc? [07:38] yes, [07:38] john_ ssh for sure, probably firefox ones, others I don't know [07:38] can you access anything at all?

[07:39] and seems to be busy [07:39] cecc, quantity is good. anyway, have you used FF3 very extensively? for me, after browsing for many days, that is, when .mozilla folder becomes ~80MB or so that problem appears. [07:39] zcat[1] that's cuz it was nearly pure debian :) [07:39] soldats, sure [07:39] i'm only going to forums.. chatting and other non-dangerous activities [07:39] cecc, i meant quantity of ram. [07:39] nickrud: yeah, perhaps ;) [07:39] yes, u [07:39] thank yo [07:39] thank you [07:39] well [07:39] cecc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

No output from --debug [07:40] zcat[1] I'd been running unstable for years before warty, when I installed it I couldn't find any real differences, except for a graceful integration of the desktop [07:40] nickrud, one last thing, though. It still won't execute except in terminal.

I've never spent any time setting that up before ... [07:41] your channel helped me a lot, but thing is strange here, [07:42] ehh [07:42] como se cambia aqui de canal [07:42] !es | live_ [07:42] live_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [07:42] nickrud, well my main concern is that conky calls this script... and, apparently, the script isn't cooperating. [07:42] What is the reason that Hardy does not find a command 'vino' but a command 'vino-preferences'? [07:42] live_: /join #ubuntu-es [07:42] ahhhhhhh [07:42] merci [07:42] no problem [07:42] woo, lappy seems happy again..... for now. [07:42] kjhl [07:43] media keys are back too!

They've all been so great for him (except feisty networkmanager, echh) [07:43] can someone help me set up permissions on a file share? I'm way over my head [07:43] termitor, tovid (see above) [07:43] nickrud, honestly... I agree with you 100% there. [07:44] k1duga1: Yes, I'm using totem-gstreamer [07:44] bazhang_: tovid ?

I'm very confused... [07:45] Kelvari: does it happen with all format or ...

[07:50] to stop the ads [07:50] do i just add that from add/remove? [07:50] i need codecs [07:50] i thought they used to be w32codecs [07:51] no, go to firefox addons [07:51] Chipsa964, firefox extension [07:51] oh ok [07:51] but its not always ads [07:51] sometimes, its pictures [07:51] medibuntu jon [07:51] i checked out medibuntu [07:51] but i still cant view them [07:51] maybe a restart?

[08:00] Anti-Tedd: I think that was the "enable?" thingy popping up [08:00] Slart: I'd expect it can.. almost anything newer than a tnt2 can handle compiz [08:00] Kelvari: can you paste the error in http://paste.ubuntu.com [08:01] bastid_raZor, Slart: so what do you reccomend? [08:01] i have an ati 9250, and everything works well, except firefox and other browsers scrollbar are slow, now i know this is an old graphic card, but is there any quick tweaks around this? [08:01] Anti-Tedd: I recommend you give it a try.. you can always go back if you don't like it [08:01] Anti-Tedd: if you don't want compiz you just set the visual effects to "none" again [08:01] I suppose, but if the Compiz doesn't run well, what can I do to make it look better than it is, but not as high-end as Compiz? Is that even possible? [08:01] this is only when using compiz [08:01] bastid_raZor: odd, I had a mx440 in a 1.1ghz box and it was quite acceptable.. not perfect but pretty smooth considering.

[08:04] join #ubuntu-au [08:04] ok thanx ubottu [08:04] bastid_raZor: probably.. I had a simple 1024x768 desktop, played videos, didn't ever try to play two together and spin the cube around or anything.. but for just basic desktop use the effects worked pretty well [08:05] not bad considering I've seen vista look 'sluggish' on much, much better hardware [08:05] Kelvari: looks like there is some other program that is locking down the sound device. [08:05] how do you check screen resolution? [08:05] i think mine is off a little [08:06] that reminds me, I got given another agp card today, going to go play with it. [08:06] Slart, it runs pretty well [08:06] oh damn [08:06] zcat[1]; minimal should be perfectly fine for a 5200. in my 2nd box i have a 6200 pushing it to a 47" tv. works well but only at 800x600 no desktop effects used considering i only watch avi's from that box. === theodore is now known as Anti-Tedd [08:06] Anti-Tedd: ah.. nice [08:06] i am try to install compiz but i cant [08:06] !resolution | jon_ [08:06] jon_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[08:06] Anti-Tedd: you're using the binary driver from nvidia now.. instead of the open source driver.. just fyi [08:07] Is that good? [08:07] I mean I know the open-source driver is more likely to have bugs [08:07] Kelvari: which is running now. you should close all program and then try to plays audio. [08:07] Anti-Tedd: it's faster and with more feature.. [08:07] my old box has a gf4 ti4600 in it and compiz runs great, there's just no shader support [08:07] Anti-Tedd: but not open source [08:07] hey all, anyone has a config problem with bacula? [08:07] Slart, so far I don't mind it. [08:07] k1duga1: Closed firefox and getting sound from espeak command, but still no Totem playback for .ogg files [08:08] don't xterm have a ressource file?

Anything you suggest that works well with Ubuntu? [08:08] kolij: use pm's to torture the bot [08:09] Anti-Tedd: I'd go with an nvidia card.. better supported at the moment [08:09] Anti-Tedd; just keep in mind if some effects seem sluggish it is only the card.. if you have a PCI-E slot try 7600 GT nVidia.. i currently use that with dual monitors. [08:09] bastid_raZor, I don't have THAT much cash, hah. [08:10] Anti-Tedd; only 70$ after the mail in rebate :) [08:10] Kelvari: if there is an error then we can know the problem. ok try changing totem>edit>preference>sound output [08:10] bastid_raZor, tell me where you got this amazing deal! oh wait I don't even have PCI-E so it doesn't matter. [08:11] Anti-Tedd; i use google search and normally that results in either newegg.com or buy.com [08:11] you can get a 7600gs in the AGP architecture, i'm using one and it works great [08:11] k1duga1: No error from .ogg files - Totem just freezes. Also not finding Sound Output in Preferences, unless you mean the number of channels.

That's a hardy source, do you have any gutsy ones? Are they all hardy?

So you have both Hardy and gutsy sources? (deb [url] gutsy [stuff] and deb [url] hardy [stuff]) [08:31] only listed ones i'd already checked... anyone got any suggestions?

[08:33] i right click, open in browser [08:33] Chipsa964, not the way [08:33] Speaking of support, I am having trouble booting the ubuntu install cd === chmac7 is now known as chmac [08:33] It just dumps me at a shell with initramfs [08:33] https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/file/26635/adblock_plus-0.7.5.4-fx+tb+sm.xpi this link Chipsa964 in the page will install it for you [08:33] No errors [08:34] Flannel: actually, now that i see, the hardy one is just for my fingerprint reader, thats the tag above it [08:34] rage, live or alternate [08:34] live [08:34] 8.04 [08:34] geko: Alright, we'll assume you've got the proper metapackages.

[08:35] so i right click and open in browser [08:35] Can I change the Boot order - running dual boot - Windows & Hardy Heron ? Would like it to default to Windows. [08:35] Chipsa964, that link here in irc no; on the page it just opens and installs by left clicking (not right click) [08:35] annie_g: You can do it a number of ways. You can move your stuff to the top, or have it just remember that windows is default (even though its at the bottom), which would you prefer? [08:35] i know [08:36] /dev/sda4 would be (hd0,3) right? [08:36] i left click it on the page [08:36] vic1ous: yes [08:36] and it tries to install [08:36] but then it gives me that error [08:36] what's the diff between && and & when doing commands on the terminal [08:36] Chipsa964, try a different one and see if you get the same error [08:36] In my terminal, I ran "sudo ruby FILENAME.rb" and it was a looping server application.

[08:38] rage, so if I want a 2nd command to run after the 1st command, I use 1st && 2nd? [08:38] geko: What? Comment out the hardy line for your fingerprint reader [08:38] anyone knows how to figure out the manufacturer of my external harddisk. its a lacie drive but what hdd is inside. i tried lsh and lsusb -v both couldnt tell me the name of the manufacturer === fisha17 is now known as ayik_pro [08:38] looking through GParted it shows to be /dev/sda4 [08:38] StevenX: Yup, exactly [08:38] nickolaus, get some more and install them with emerald theme manager [08:38] rage, thanks homie [08:38] vic1ous: you may need to do the more traditional linux one (where you specify the kernel, etc). That'll only work if you have something to chainload on sda4 [08:39] klos: lshw might tell you something [08:39] im trying to start PROFTPD and i get the error: * Starting ftp server proftpd [08:39] - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'hostname.com' [08:39] StevenX: another way to do it is command1; command2; [08:39] sorry i treid lshw [08:39] couldnt help me [08:39] bazhang, same errors for other add-ons too [08:39] I don't know how to do that what would that be called in a google search [08:39] now i know it was because of a config i messed around with in the /etc/hosts but i switched it back [08:39] Chipsa964, this is ff2 or 3 [08:39] 2 [08:39] and restarted the pc and still get the error [08:40] StevenX: with command1 && command2, command2 will only start if command1 returns sucessful status [08:40] Flannel: This is actually for someone that has to warm up to Linux - not a problem for me - this machine runs strictly Ubuntu - But this person would like it to boot to Windows if you turned it on and walked away - it would start to Windows 1st. [08:40] Chipsa964, no wonder then [08:40] rage, did it w/ &&. I used a command to turn off the damn pcspeakers [08:40] hi all. I'm having trouble installing 8.04. The installer just hangs where it should show the partition tool. The system stays reactive, and when i run gparted directly, it takes a while to skan media, but it works eventually. Any clues? I'm a bit frustrated. [08:40] vic1ous: Just copy one of the ubuntu entries, and change it to point to your slackware kernel. [08:40] I have some new ones but I can't see how to install the new icons via emerald [08:40] It would be ok with me to skip that step and just *pick* a partition. [08:40] nickolaus, get the theme manager and do it that way [08:40] ok but how do i find out what the slackware kernel is [08:40] rage, using 1st; 2nd; will run the 1st run and then, regardles of results, run the 2nd? [08:40] 3 had a lot of issues for me [08:40] or maybe there's a non-gui setup routine i could try? [08:40] this is a complete show stopper :( [08:40] apt-cache search emerald nickolaus [08:40] StevenX: exactly right :-) [08:41] Duesentrieb, this is dual boot?

The first (having windows be on top of the menu) would be to move the windows boot entry above the ### Beging Debian Automagic Kernel list (which is above all the kernels, don't put it in the wrong place, or it'll disappear) [08:41] klos: you need to be root when you run lshq.. sudo lshw [08:41] bazhang: for now, yes. old ubuntu and new ubuntu :) [08:41] annie_g: the second is through grub, choosing "saved" as your default, and adding a "savedefault" to your windows boot line. [08:41] Chipsa964, that plugin is for ff3; go through ff2 extensions browser to install for your ff2 [08:42] bazhang: why does it matter? [08:42] geko: No, don't comment the gutsy ones. Just the hardy one. [08:42] yes is did [08:42] Duesentrieb, then I would suggest the alt cd which is text based [08:42] geko: we've gotta do some housekeeping in gutsy before the upgrade to make sure we upgrade safely [08:42] bazhang: Sorry to bother, I'm sitting at the ubuntu live cd boot menu, with file=/blah initrd=/blah quiet splash -- <-- Where would I add the all_generic_ide [08:42] (hrm, no nick highlight in pidgin? gah!)

[08:44] annie_g: Just moving the entry should be fine. You can even just copy it (and then you'll have two windows entries, which won't hurt anything). Just open up /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy the windows line to the lines before ### Begin debian automagic kernels (or something similar), which should be somewhere in the middle of the file (before the kernels, after all the options) [08:44] Drag the tar.gz?

[08:47] ok Slart tnx [08:47] Iraklis: Wait at least 15 minutes, if not longer. [08:47] ToneWhy: You'd need to upgrade 6.10 to 7.04, then you could upgrade to 7.10, but yeah, that'll be fine. [08:48] Iraklis, is this a song you made? if not you should not be uploading to youtube [08:48] Flannel: Really lov'n this Ubuntu - so much more solid & reliable then Windows..........

I've freshly installed, changed lots of settings, but the streaming just hangs on the hardy box :( [08:49] geko: right, we were just double checking to make sure we had the right metapackages. What package does it say isn't upgraded? sudo apt-get update should tell you [08:49] bazhang: is there some tool (like hwinfo or some such) i can run from the live cd to create an overview of my system config? for attachign it to a bug report. [08:49] geko: er, sudo apt-get upgrade [08:49] Other people can play from the same site using hardy, but not I...

[08:56] bazhang: ah, i didn't know. i'll have a look thanks. reason i am asking is cos i want to build it into my dynamips lab with real switches. thanks [08:56] bazhang: hm, fun. mounting partitions from the "places" menu silently fails.

[08:57] Flannel: ok, so the ones for the CD should be uncommented and remaining in gutsy, all other ones changed to hardy, and the fingerprint one commented, right? [08:57] Duesentrieb, this is the livecd? best to install via alt cd then worry about bug reports later :) [08:57] bazhang: but i have to at least store the report from syslog somewhere [08:57] wereHamster: nope.. but it looks rather nice.. let me know if you find out [08:57] bazhang: well... i could stuff it in my wiki i guess :) [08:57] wb2.0 ftw [08:57] geko: No, comment out the CD ones, or delete them all together.

[09:34] Lalo2: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot [09:34] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [09:35] Hi, would anyone be able to tell me why http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16539/ produces "./workrawprepare.sh: line 11: mkv: command not found" [09:35] it also crashes without using any torrent client... [09:36] Im guessing its nothing physical to the card since I have windoze running on the machine previously without any problems. The bit that confuses me therefore is why its should suddenly start doing it (with not fannying about with xorg by me) [09:36] last 3 days, i've had to manually restart it about 30 times... [09:36] and i have nvidia card [09:37] moin [09:37] have you tried running with/without the nvidia proprietary drivers? [09:37] * Lalo2 [09:38] how do i do that? [09:38] and if my video card going to work? [09:38] is my video... [09:38] install the nvidia proprietry drivers, test, uninstall nvidia proprietry drivers, test? [09:39] Lalo2: it will but wont have 3d accel. we just need to test [09:39] Light-: You want =, not -eq, the latter is arithmetic [09:39] ok thanks Flannel I will try that [09:39] have you installed the "restricted drivers" using jockey (Hardware Drivers application)? [09:40] Light-: Also, put it in square brackets [ a = b ] [09:40] hi - how can i use my computer (with a wlan interface) as a gate in the internet for other computer - like a wlan hotspot? [09:40] ok [09:40] Running Ubuntu 7.04 - I haven't seen any updates for a couple of weeks and just found that when I try to update the packages in Synaptic most of them fail. Trying the same thing from Applications - Add/Remove, I am informed that my list is not up to date and when I try to update it, I see that most of them fail. Lining in Thailand my repositories were "th", and I tried using both "main" and... [09:40] ..."us" with the same result. Googled, but found no solution. What now? [09:41] how do i solve this pseudo-error? [09:41] pidgin-games depends on pidgin (<< 3.0); however: [09:41] Version of pidgin on system is 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2. [09:41] apinunt: What errors do you get? [09:41] actually, in the last update, some nvidia xdrivers where downloaded... don't know if is of any importance... how do i uninstall the invidia propetary drivers?? [09:41] apinut: try changing your repo location to a different mirror [09:41] yao_ziyuan: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [09:41] Flannel: 8.04 [09:41] Lalo2: from the restricted drivers manager [09:42] Lalo2: System>Admin>Hardware Drivers [09:42] yao_ziyuan: pidgin-games is from a third party, yes? You should consult whomever packaged it (or find one for Hardy) [09:42] Flannel: yes, from pidgin's developers [09:42] yao_ziyuan: Find a package meant for Hardy [09:42] Flannel: I just see the word Failed in the status column. [09:43] Flannel: i think it's because dpkg can't recognize the weird version format "1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2" that ubuntu uses [09:43] Flannel: using = with square brackets worked perfectly, thanks [09:43] yao_ziyuan: No, that's not it. It's just an indication of problems to come. Even if you got it installed, it most likely wouldn't work too well, based on other library differences. [09:44] Anyone know how to choose which partitions to show and not in nautilus? In other words, choose what the show over the border in the left column [09:44] ok... i'm uninstalling it now... [09:44] apinunt: Try just archive.ubuntu.com, the us one has a tendancy to flake out. Also, once you've changed it, pastebin your sources.list as well as the output to sudo apt-get update [09:45] Lalo2: try running for a while without and see if it crashes, if not, install them again and see if that makes it crash... [09:45] Flannel: where can i find packages for ubuntu except ubuntu's repository? [09:45] ok, but is asking me to reboot... [09:46] yao_ziyuan: Well, see if whereever you got that one has a version for Hardy. But, I'm not sure. [09:46] Lalo2: that would be necessary yes. [09:48] ok... please keep helping me when I come back! you're my only hope.. 'cause I'm very new to ubuntu and linux! [09:48] anyone know if op manager is good and is it free? [09:48] Flannel: I only a little over a month into using Ubuntu, could you please be more specific as to what I should do? I don't see an archive.ubuntu.com in the list of available repositories. [09:48] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [09:48] is firefox release candidate 1 in the update manager yet? [09:50] Anybody here know how to change/disable the password for connecting to a specific wireless network, I don't want have to type in root password each time for connecting to my home network. [09:50] ljsoftnet, nay [09:51] studio is here [09:51] apinunt: sure. We'll just manually edit the file, since it'll let us do what we want (and we'll need to see it to pastebin anyway), alt-f2, then gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst" [09:51] Ienorand, do it via the command line-->let me get you a link [09:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Ienorand [09:51] bazhang: cheers. [09:51] bazhang, what do you mean? [09:52] apinunt: Once you're there, you'll see a bunch of lines of the following form: deb [url] [version] [components] where version is hardy, gutsy, etc, and components are main, restricted, universe, multiverse [09:52] suRs, what is op manager [09:52] apinunt: actually, version will be version, and then also version-something (hardy-updates, for instance) [09:52] apinunt: We'll be changing the URLs to whatever mirror we want. Right now, we'll try http://archive.ubuntu.com [09:53] I have installed sun java6 jre. I want it to be default. What command was it I had to run to be able to choose with java I want to use?

[09:55] and if you use wine could allso work [09:56] I'm having a strange problem. compiz effects used to work fine on my computer but now I'm no longer able to enable them. When I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance to enable them, a message appears saying that it couldn't enable visual effects. My computer definitely supports compiz and it was working fine the other day. How can I fix it? [09:56] suRs, what is your end goal? ubuntu has better tools built in [09:56] virtualbox with usb device please ............ [09:57] sobat /j #vbox [09:58] Flannel: I posted the content of /etc/apt/sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/16543/ If I understand correctly, I should just edit out the "us." and "th." leaving only archive.ubuntu.com in each line? [09:58] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [09:58] bazhang what tool couse my gaol is the get a tool were i can obtain ip adresses from wlan and all other montioring.. [09:59] maxo, my guess that u have changed the video driver somehow [09:59] suRs, is this professional or not; why do you need that info-->ie your end goal [09:59] apinunt: Yeah, we're just trying to determine if the problem is in the mirror you've selected. Once we're done, you can use software sources to choose another repo if you like [09:59] bazhang: Thanks, I now have a fresh ubuntu install booting, (crosses fingers) [10:00] maxo: take a look in system ->administration->handware drivers [10:00] HI all [10:00] rage hope it goes well :) [10:00] I can not get my wireless up, can anyone help?

[10:01] bazhang i have no asnwear to that but i would feel more secure to have it a step a head :) [10:02] icqnumber, it's just an intel graphics in a laptop [10:02] hi is there a ftp gui program for ubuntu?

I first turned it on using /system/pref/appearence/visual effects. trhen loaded the ccsm compiz manager... then tried to switch it of using the visual effects in appearence and my laptop ground to a halt. Tried a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (how I used to solve graphics issues) and this may of made things worse... Any ideas?

But I'm really confused because i never actually enabled it in the first place [10:07] Does anybody know a way to resolve and interface name such as "eth0" to an actual card manufacturer or a card model such as "realtek 8169"?? [10:07] Flannel: why does http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16544/ always say "raw type not supported" regardless of the value of $rawtype [10:07] matty3269, check lspci [10:07] matty3269: lspci [10:07] hey [10:07] Flannel: I changed /etc/apt/sources.list as you directed, and tried to update again, and notice all the URL's now indicate archive.ubuntu.com, but I still see many Failed in the status column. The operation only takes a couple of seconds so I can't see what the entire list says. [10:08] is there somthing that is replacing openMosix? [10:08] Where can I get some good cursors?

[10:09] okay well when i do that i can get.... 01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) and i also get 01:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) but how can i tell which one is eth0 and which one is eth1? [10:09] !nickspam | Jokkaa[Tux] [10:09] Jokkaa[Tux]: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also /msg ubotu Guidelines [10:09] Flannel: Is there a way to get the output to remain on the screen, It only appears for a couple of seconds and closes before I can look at it thoroughly. [10:09] apinunt: You can either put the output into a text file (sudo apt-get update > ~/Desktop/update.txt) or... well, yeah, that's probably easiest. === tumay is now known as tumayceber === tumayceber is now known as tumay [10:09] hi all [10:10] matty3269, intel is the wireless eth1 [10:10] how can I make an fsck on ecrypted devices?

[10:13] Ienorand, just ignore it [10:13] Ienorand: Yup, that will kill it [10:13] how come my firefox is still Beta 5? [10:14] c0Ld, try right-clicking the volume icon in the tray -> Open Volume Control and adjusting it there [10:14] Sorry guy, just trying to figure it all out asap. [10:14] c0Ld: for me there's also a PCM control which adjusts the master, kinda. [10:14] maxo: that's what I did -- I even enabled all of the preferences and set everything to 100% and it's still not as loud as I'd like it to be able to get. is there some kind of safety lock on it or something? =| [10:14] PCM's 100% [10:15] ok [10:15] c0Ld, try alsa instead of autodetect [10:15] c0Ld: did you turn up teh volume for every mixer? [10:15] yes [10:15] Flannel: I was running Synaptic before, the output running from a terminal is now on http://paste.ubuntu.com/16545/ [10:15] Not sure about the current version of Ubuntu but older versions of nm-applet didnt support open1x, however wpa_supplicant did. So killing nm-applet and restarting the interface was the only way to connect to an open1x secured network. [10:15] matty3269:you can always run dmesg |grep eth0 or eth1 etc. [10:15] c0Ld: try using OSS, ALSA, Pulse etc see which one has loudest volume [10:16] apinunt: Looks like everything works. Now, do `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [10:16] bazhang i sended you a priv message [10:17] suRs, what is your question? best to share it with all [10:17] bazhang its the question you asked me ..i woulnt like to share it with all :) couse you asked [10:18] same thing with all of them ;| === skm is now known as drmarwat [10:18] my server hard drive light is on solid and I can't do anything with it....I think it's a DoS attack...how do I fix it? Where do I start? [10:18] hello [10:18] PastorBones, open a terminal and type top [10:19] I can't [10:19] i mean, it's not like it's bugged out, it's very audible and works just fine -- it just won't get as loud as it can on other distros which is kind of annoying for movies and such :/ [10:19] it's so slow it won't do anything [10:19] Flannel: The lines beginning with "Ign" are the lines that seem to appear with "Failed" when run from Synaptic. Is that OK? And should I sun the next command with a means of saving any output? [10:19] c0Ld, you did quit the apps and restart them each time for every choice right? [10:19] ubuntu [10:19] more like [10:19] apinunt: Do all this in a terminal, you shouldn't need to save the output no. If it has an error, it'll error and prompt you. [10:19] gaybuntu [10:19] lulzmin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:20] why gaybuntu?

[10:20] how can I allow user to open port < 1024 please ? [10:20] @dr. what video card do you have? [10:20] where is this restriction ? [10:20] napnap: You don't as a regular user. Why do you want to have smtp running as a regular user? [10:21] bazhang: yep -- OSS was a little louder but still not what im trying to achieve :( [10:21] i have nvidia geforce fx 5600 card, never had this issue with ubuntu previous versions [10:21] have you installed proprietary drivers via envyng === Bash is now known as CorpCom [10:22] Flannel: it's my own smtp server, I need to launch it for develop purpose...

[10:22] @ ien. type alt+f2 and type your command in there [10:23] hi all, anybody need support? [10:23] Flannel: both [10:23] im myopic and i cant do without the display i wanted [10:23] Hey guys. Got a (hopefully) simple question. [10:23] even 800x600 doesnt work [10:23] ok, what am I looking for in top? [10:23] @dr. have you tried editing the nvidia program that installs with the drivers [10:23] Can someone please tell me why Line 9 in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16548/ always occurs regardless of $rawtype [10:23] @dr. have you tried editing the res in the nvidia program that installs with the drivers [10:24] i didnt try that to be honest [10:24] Flannel: so i can't open port 25 with a basic user ? [10:24] Flannel: OK, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Does that sound correct? I haven't seen anything for a couple of weeks or so now. [10:24] PastorBones, what is eating all the cpu cycles [10:24] bazhang there? [10:24] well try that if it doesn't work you might have to edit the xorg.conf [10:24] Hi guys, I've got a HP Pavilion dv6000 and after upgrading to 8.04 my sound went wacko.. Anyone who know anything about that? [10:24] ok i guess i will [10:24] well, it's not doing it anymore, I disconnected the eth0 for awhile [10:24] did it work? [10:24] apinunt: That could very well be. Feisty's pretty stable. [10:25] one more thing, does the remastersys works on ubuntu? [10:25] suRs, yes? what do you wish to sniff other IP's for? that is not supported here [10:25] I'm running Hardy, and just got a WD 500 GB My Book. I just found out that it ships by default with FAT32. I want to use ext3, but it seems the options I need to use are disabled in gparted. Would it be smarter to do this via command line? And that said, would my data's integrity be at stake if I stored it on a FAT32 medium? Thanks all. [10:25] napnap: no [10:25] but when it was doing it I looked at running processes and nothing was over 2% [10:25] it was the harddrive [10:25] bazhang but i need it .. to get wirless internet. [10:25] bazhang: I think I found a solution -- I increased the volume cap in gconf-editor under gnome-settings_daemon's "volume_step" value [10:25] Flannel: ... ok thanks [10:25] Hello, I set up a DNS server on a hardy server. But, name resolution seems very slow. Can someone help me on this ??

[10:27] koshari: ahh I see, thanks [10:27] Flannel: When I run the update from Synaptic I still see a number of lines with a status of Failed, could that be a problem? [10:27] bracksis: i will do that, thanks for you help, if i have an iusse i will let you know [10:27] Light-: I haven't really done much with it yet, I searched the forums brefily and gparted seemed like a nice GUI app to format a drive. Basically, I want to back up a lot of stuff, and don't want to risk data integrity by putting it on crappy FAT32 [10:27] okay you're welcome [10:27] flannel how im i suppose to get wirless internet out in town then? [10:27] surs then ask in ##windows [10:28] patric, it is a DNS/DHCP server [10:28] apinunt: I say file a bug. It sounds like it's something wrong with synaptic, since apt-get works fine. [10:28] In essence, I want to wipe the My Book and reformat it as ext3. [10:28] suRs: Pay for it? I don't know. However regular people get it. [10:28] fredmv: are you running ubuntu atm? and do you have gparted installed? [10:28] uh, is it just me, or is launchpad having problems? i can't log in. it's not setting a cookie. [10:28] fredmv i agree that its not a great stratergy to use fat32 for big partitions [10:28] good day all [10:28] jvidyad, a sry wouldn't make a lot of sense running a dns server with inetd:) [10:28] I have ndiswrapper here. [10:28] Hi all, is it possible to detect filesystems without mounting the partition ? [10:28] Light-: Yup, Hardy. [10:29] fredmv: start up gparted (sudo gparted) [10:29] I want to use the resource CD that came with my laptop, which contains drivers for Vista and XP. [10:29] sry??

[10:30] fredmv: otherwise gparted cant do anything with it [10:30] jvidyad, you can use a server as standalone so with his own daemon or you can start it with a super-deaom inetd oder xinetd [10:30] That was my (very noob) mistake [10:30] Let me look at this again with it unmounted. [10:30] patric, it is standalone. I am running BIND9 [10:30] Hmm, Ubuntu doesn't seem to let me unmount it. [10:31] i need help with stocks [10:31] fredmv: really? whats the error?

[10:31] fredmv: that includes open file manager windows [10:32] jvidyad, i'm out of ideas BIND configuration is very complicated [10:32] apinunt you can always back up your sources list and try one with different mirrors, [10:32] OK [10:32] uykusuz, please explain with more clarity [10:32] bazhang i use ubuntu in my language and i don't know what is it's english name [10:32] apinunt: Not that this is related, but as a reminder, Feisty does reach EOL in four months. Time to start prepping to upgrade to gutsy [10:32] Thanks anyway [10:32] Light-: all I've got open is pidgin (for IRC) and it's still not letting me. [10:32] uykusuz, which language [10:32] turkish [10:32] sources [10:33] fredmv: hmm... have you tried unmounting from the terminal? [10:33] i need help with sopurces.list [10:33] apinunt also there was a cache bug with msttcorefonts package where it was attempting to download the fonts of a dead link [10:33] help! terminal won't run! [10:33] sources.list [10:33] !tr | uykusuz [10:33] uykusuz: Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [10:33] any active programmers around? [10:33] Light-: Hmm, odd. It's on the desktop yet when I go to manually umount it it says umount: /media/My Book/ is not mounted (according to mtab) [10:33] sweetgum, trying to be active.. [10:33] Hi, i have ubuntu 8.04 and usb sound and the sound is crackling ! can any1 help ? [10:33] So, I guess it's really unmounted. [10:33] guys, my Terminal refuses to run. how can I resolve this issue? [10:34] flannel there is no any turkish helper the channels u are tell me about [10:34] alt f2 gnome-terminal dlozarie [10:34] So, run gparted again? [10:34] fredmv: ok restart gparted, choose the device and see if the right click options are still greyed out [10:34] sweetgum: interested in programming and new to liinux [10:34] bazhang, thanks. will try it out [10:34] fredmv gparted will indicate if the partition is mounted [10:34] uykusuz: Alright. just trying to help. you're welcome to stay here, of course. [10:34] uykusuz, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [10:35] Light-: Thanks a ton man. The options are there. I asumme "Format to -> ext3" from here? [10:35] thank u Flannel :) [10:35] bazhang, terminal window turns grey. [10:35] fredmv:just do a fdisk -l [10:35] fredmv: yep [10:35] heya... my firefox (3, on ubuntu 8.04, latest updates) seems stuck - if i try and launch from the command line, nothing appears... i'm wondering if there's a stale lock or something which might cause this? [10:35] dlozarie, hmm that is odd [10:35] i need help with sources.list [10:35] patric_: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/gtktutorial/menusandtoolbars/ In this first Menu example, can you explain to me what the vbox is? [10:35] uykusuz, see my message above [10:35] thejranran: know what the vbox is? [10:35] I found it weird myself. I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to install some Windows drivers [10:35] uykusuz whats your actual problem? [10:35] sweetgum: a vbox is used for organising other objects [10:35] Good stuff guys. This is what the Ubuntu community is all about. :) [10:36] Light-: is it absolutely necessary? there is no items needing to be sorted [10:36] bazhang, could this issue possibly be solved by rebooting? [10:36] sweetgum: sorry i dont [10:36] Just off hand, does anyone here know how to get the desktop icons to appear on the far right rather than the far left? [10:36] Light-: I don't understand what it is to sort an already sorted list [10:36] sweetgum, mom reading trhough [10:36] patric_:thanks [10:37] how to remove an item from applications>sound and video menu ??? [10:37] dlozarie, hard to say; not a common occurrence [10:37] Flannel | koshari: OK, one last question. In Synaptics, under Software Sources - Authentication, I have only 2 keys, one for the CD image, and the other for Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key dated 2004-09-12, Is that up to date? And is that all I should have? [10:37] bazhang, I will try to reboot. :) [10:37] Light-: So I told it to format the drive at ext3, and now it's on the "pending operations" area on the bottom. I mean, it's 500 gb, so it'll take a little while? [10:37] sweetgum: yeah, its kinda hard to explain. gtk objects have to be organised into vboxes and hboxes to be able to be moved around a window, unlike winforms when you juts drag and drop where you want something to go [10:37] fredmv: click "apply" [10:37] Light-: Bigbrother Survived The Fires! [10:38] Light-: In reference to banned book burnings [10:38] sweetgum: lol dont follow [10:38] Light-: Thanks very much yet again. This is what I get for staying up all night. I'm usually not this braindead [10:38] anyone know if the ati drivers updated recently (on the repositories)? [10:38] apinunt unless you have added aditional 3rd party repos, the default keys are all you would need, and even without the keys you would just get a warning [10:38] fredmv: no problem :) [10:38] sweetgum, i'm not shure. i do not any gtk programming, but that looks like a function to that you give a parameter [10:38] Light-: heh, concept of being organized [10:39] which is the best media player in ubuntu [10:39] sweetgum, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:39] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [10:40] koshari: I was wondering because I use Main, restricted, universe, and multiverse, and thought each would require a key. [10:40] sorry baz [10:41] thejranjan: thats a bit offtopic, but i'd go with Smplayer as a Mplayer GUI since it has the best support for subtitles [10:41] How do i get vncserver to startup in the login screen? [10:41] i have searched all over [10:41] help please [10:42] hi there [10:42] Le^stat, modyfying startx script or write a gdm theme [10:42] Hi all, I am using Ubuntu Hardy. Bluetooth is not working properly. [10:42] I am using LENOVA T61 laptop [10:43] munipradeep, it think it does or du you think that thousands of sites for a standard are just bullshit:) [10:43] patric_, family friendly please [10:43] sry [10:43] munipradeep: define "not working properly" [10:44] !ot [10:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:44] Light: I mean, its not connecting from laptop to laptop [10:45] Light: I am not able to send one file from one laptop to laptop [10:45] Hi, I accidentally enabled "inverse screen rendering" with a hotkey. Anybody knows how to get back to normal? [10:45] munipradeep, check the logfiles try to be more precise [10:45] munipradeep: my laptop doesnt have bluetooth, but if I wanted to go laptop>laptop id create an ad-hoc wireless network with the wireless card instead of bluetooth [10:46] ah. my firefox problem was related to XUL.mfasl. yay for strace!! [10:48] hi, all. I'm back. the terminal works fine now. [10:48] Does ayone know if its possible to change workspace by clicking mouse and scrolling where ever i am on the desktop [10:48] can i get some help on how to install windows drivers on Ubuntu using ndiswrapper? [10:48] dlozarie, why not use linux drivers? [10:48] jokka[tux], i usually just scroll on an empty space in the desktop and i can switch desktops [10:49] jokka, my laptop's manufacturer does not offer linux drivers [10:49] dlozarie, yeah thats what i do too but i would like it to work while running fullscreen things, like xchat [10:50] jokka, oh. I'm sorry, I really don't know how to switch workspaces like that. [10:50] dlozarie, im not even sure its possible.. but it would be handy [10:50] dlozarie: the linux kernel usually comes with drivers for pretty much everything, was there a particular item of hardware that wasnt working? [10:51] light-, well right now I can't hear any sound on my computer. [10:51] dlozarie: What exactly are you trying to do? [10:51] gordonjcp, hold on. I'm checking if the problem still persists. :) [10:52] dlozarie: sound is quite broken in 8.04. have you tried using a different mixer? (click volume control, then File>Change Device) [10:52] light-, my speakers are playing now. looks like that no-sound issue was just some temporary glitch. thanks, guys. [10:52] I love how ubuntu completes the command after sudo, even the switches like install [10:53] i love ubuntu at al [10:53] all [10:53] imma hang around for a while and see if there are any problems I can help out with [10:53] Escuro: gentoo didn't have this [10:53] i need some help, i deleted an old partition which had ubuntu on to make space for my new install but now i am getting a grub 22 error [10:54] Why is it that when I use the Ubuntu Live CD my hard drive activity light blinks? Is it writing stuff to my hard drive? [10:54] j2: seems like you need to re-install grub [10:54] woden1, that hard drive light blinks when your hard drive is active. [10:54] how do i do that Light [10:55] j2: dont know off the top of my head :) try google [10:55] I'm quite sure that the hard drive is invariably active whenever you use your computer [10:55] dlozarie using compiz you could attach any binding to change desktop (providing its not already commited to another action) [10:56] Light there plenty of wifi chipsets that dont work with linux native drivers [10:56] dlozarie: So the ubuntu live CD isn't touching my hard drive then? [10:56] !grub | j2 [10:56] j2: 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 [10:56] woden1, nay [10:56] dlozarie: not using compiz, ctrl+alt+arrow changes desktop for me, although I cant remember if I set it to that or not [10:56] woden1: less it's scanning your partition table to setup mount points for you, probably not [10:57] woden1: nope, although it may have automounted it so you can access it [10:57] woden1, I really can't say for sure since I'm not much of an expert on those things, but I don't think your Live CD is writing anything to your hard drive. [10:57] woden1: but there's also a chance that your HD light is a general IDE bus light, so it's flickering because your cd's being used. [10:57] If it is, I'm sure it's nothing major. [10:57] anyone here using kiba dock? how i can install it? [10:57] j2:start ubuntu cd in recovery modes, there you will have an option to reinstall grub. [10:57] JbCrash: are there no packages in Synaptic? [10:57] Light-, you still here man? [10:57] light-, CTRL+ALT+arrow works for me. :) [10:58] fredmv: yep [10:58] dlozarie: :) [10:58] Light-: let me check [10:58] Light-: Well, the My Book is ext3 now. Interestingly, the device is now under `/media/disk' and appears to only accept data if the user is root. Any way to change that? [10:58] fellas, are there any programs you would recommend to install on Ubuntu 8.04? [10:59] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [10:59] fredmv "sudo chmod 777 /media/disk" then "sudo chown /media/disk" [10:59] fredmv mount it manually from the fstab file [10:59] or do what koshari said [11:00] dlozarie what do you want to do? media, music? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:00] koshari, I'm not looking for anything in particular. Just looking to further enhance my already-five star Linux experience. :) [11:00] anyone here using kiba dock? how i can install it? [11:01] dlozarie bit hard to recommend packages if one doesnt know what you want to use it for [11:01] koshari, I guess you're right. I'm just going to look around in the Add/Remove applications area. :) [11:01] JbCrash isnt it in the repositorys? avant seems to have more support these days, [11:01] JbCrash: http://www.kiba-dock.org/components/com_mambowiki/index.php?title=Installing_Kiba-Dock [11:01] oh, and koshari, thanks for helping me out. :) [11:01] dlozarie for the record i like VLC and amarok [11:02] to jest nie sprawiedliwe [11:02] hdb: task_in_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [11:02] is my dvd broken?

[11:03] if it's the dvd, you can try polishing the disc with hairgell or toothpaste [11:03] Escuro: should be detected automatically [11:03] then rinse it off [11:03] if it's a cdr/dvdr, be careful, though as if you get the top surface wet the disc's sort of toast. [11:03] hairgel? [11:03] he [11:03] jatt: no its not work [11:03] anyone know if new ati drivers were available the last few days? [11:03] hairgel is not very good [11:03] jatt: yeah. i've fixed tons of discs with hairgel, actually. [11:04] hi all. Can anyone tell me how to make a certain program load on boot? [11:04] the objective there is to be abrasive [11:04] I think probably is the drive, since other dvds cause the same error sometimes [11:04] it worked better than toothpaste [11:04] dlozarie add it to your sessions [11:04] depends actually on the specific gel or paste [11:04] Light-: i need type sudo apt-get only rite.. my machine AMD 64 [11:04] hi [11:04] koshari, forgive me since I'm really new to all this linux stuff (only installed it yesterday). how do I add it to my sessions? [11:04] those toothpastes with whitening and shit are kinda good [11:04] JbCrash: "sudo apt-get install " [11:04] VanDyke: the cheaper the better, i've noticed. i keep a bottle of dial hairgel about for specifically that rason. [11:04] hi [11:05] but nothing beats brasso [11:05] hey do ne of you guys knw y bzflag wont work on ubuntu 8.04 [11:05] VanDyke: yeah. but anything with granuals in it is bad news. [11:05] or is it jst my comp [11:05] I never clean my dvds and cds probably that's why the drive broke [11:05] dlozarie system>preferences>sessions [11:05] dlozarie: system>preferences>sessions [11:05] koshari, here it is. Thanks for the help! [11:05] brasso still does the job in the most awesome way [11:05] light-, I've found it already. Thanks! :) [11:05] jatt: if you wear glasses, you could try wetting a cuetip or something with lense cleaner and polishing the laser === gbs is now known as fserve [11:06] jatt: i have to do that to my dvd drive ever so often [11:06] VanDyke tooth paste is a little less abrasive than brasso, [11:06] simple question: anyone know if new ati drivers were available the last few days?

[11:30] hello [11:30] or gplflash [11:30] gnash still fails at some sites (like megaupload folders) === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [11:31] i have recently upgraded to hardy, but i am having problems with avahi [11:31] hey guys im having a prob with the game bzflag its saying "X error" can anyone help [11:31] loquitis_of_bord: if your laptops card nvidia: if not, then yes [11:31] *is [11:31] john__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32656 [11:31] when i try to run ekiga i get the error 'ejuga: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavahi-client.so.3 undefined symbol: dbus_watch_get_unix_fd' [11:31] Okay [11:32] Light: you are saying NVIDIA is a problem or not a problem? [11:32] loquitis_of_bord: NVIDIA makes configuring dual screens easy [11:33] If I boot off this disc, Ultimate Edition, and chose, Install or start it, will I be given a choice to keep my existing system and install the new one along side it? [11:33] loquitis_of_borg: I previously had an ATI card and configuring dual screens was a nightmare. Dont know about other integrated chipsets though [11:33] Light: ok... here's the thing. I connected my with LCD via the DVI connector and the bootup sequence shows but as soon as the NVIDIA logo and then X11's GUI comes up, the LCD goes black into sleep mode [11:33] matthew_: I have no idea, I always clean install. Maybe someone else can advise [11:33] how can I make my system here upgrade via Terminal, using the DVD Disc in my drive? [11:34] matthew whats the difference between ultimate and standard, just more packages installed? [11:34] loquitis_of_borg: run "sudo nvidia-settings" from a terminal [11:34] matthew_: did you check the link I gave you? [11:34] matthew_: you need to add the disk in your dvd drive as a repository in Synaptic [11:34] Light: run me through this please [11:34] Light-: how can I do that? [11:34] what does x error mean [11:35] matthew_: check the link that ActionParsnip gave you [11:35] Light-: I did, it is not helping very much.. [11:35] Garret_: Problem is- it's supposed to be a menu. How do I make the Window hold more widgets? [11:35] loquitis: applications>accessories>terminal, type in "sudo nvidia-settings" [11:35] help [11:35] trying to install gnash [11:35] but it's an install-sh.sh file and i dont know how to instal it through here [11:35] i wanna do it through here [11:35] Light: no I mean I have it running now... the nvidia-settings app... but what do I do in there? [11:35] Light-: how do I make my CD appear in the Synaptic so I can install from there? / upgrade [11:35] jjhon__: install from repo [11:36] garrett_:Problem is- it's supposed to be a menu. How do I make the Window hold more widgets? [11:36] Matthai, sudo apt-cdrom add [11:36] Matthai, sorry, meant for matthew_ :) [11:36] does ne1 knw wat "x error" mean [11:36] loquitis: did it start up in a tiny screen? if it did, drag the bottom right to make it bigger [11:36] Brad7200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzflag/+bug/162151 [11:36] Launchpad bug 162151 in bzflag "bzflag crash at start" [Medium,New] [11:36] !X | Brad7200 [11:36] Brad7200: 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 [11:36] how do i do it from repo [11:36] i'm a little new [11:37] loquitis: then click "X server display configuration" and its pretty much like windows from there [11:37] ever someone used ssh client from xp to ubuntu here? [11:37] jo [11:37] Light: not sure what you mean by "it" and tiny screen. I am right now at the point where the nvidia-settings GUI app is running on my laptop's own screen. my goal is to get it to show on the externally connected LCD screen via the DVI connector [11:37] john__, you could just `sudo apt-get install gnash` [11:38] loquitis: yeah when I start up nvidia-settings its window is tiny and you need to make it bigger to see anything [11:38] john__, you may want to also install mozilla-plugin-gnash if you use firefox/mozila-based-browser [11:38] Light: well, at least nvidia settings opened nicely for me. now what? [11:38] mitchell, putty is good for that [11:38] loquitis: click "Xserver Display COnfiguration" then "Configure..." then choose TwinView [11:38] E: Couldn't find package gnash [11:39] mitchell, you can even do pubkey authentication with it [11:39] is there app to make macro, something like ghost control ( www.ghost-control.com ) for windows? [11:39] john__: for the 10th time, upgrade from 5.10. that's why you can't find packages for _anything_ [11:39] Light: am I using some twilight zone version of this? I don't even have an Xserver Display Configuration section [11:39] ah john__ you will need to enable the "universe" repo then [11:39] and you're just confusing people that try to help [11:39] FUCK [11:39] teamcobra, ah cool thanks :) [11:39] loquitis: screenshot? [11:39] thefish: yeh, told him that about 2 hrs ago [11:40] bbiab [11:40] john__: sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash [11:40] Light: how do I send it to you? [11:40] OKAY I'll get myself some god damn DAPPER, let me just get my last burned cd i was going to use for a ps1 game on my modded ps2. thanks. bye [11:40] john__, not a bad idea... [11:40] loquitis: you do have a NVIDIA card, and teh proprietry NVIDIA drivers installed, right? [11:40] blech, and I told him how to upgrade w/o using a cd [11:40] but meh ;p [11:40] heh [11:40] Light: I do not know... to be quite honest. I installed this last year and I think I used the NVIDIA drivers from their site. shall I send you a screenshot of my nvidia settings app? [11:41] I'm back. :) [11:41] loquitis: yes please. then go to system>administration>hardware drivers and check if the restricted drivers are in use [11:41] thefish: ok I managed to make it work problems solved im using winscp and secure client SSh! The two of them are workinh fine thks [11:41] mitchell: putty is also a good client [11:41] hi.. im trying to install a package, using apt-get.. i've made an entry in sources.list, but when I do an apt-get update, i get a gpg error, how can i fix this? [11:42] Uhm, I have a question. Say I want to install a certain printer driver, and the CD that came with the software only provides Mac and Windows drivers. How do I go about installing my printer? [11:42] Light: I am in edgy... where is "hardware drivers" here? [11:42] teamcobra: ok thks mate cheers [11:42] mitchell, cool - ye scp command is a bit messy. If you want to use scp in a gui, check out winscp - very cool [11:42] when denyhosts does a block, where does it store that info and how do I remove it? [11:42] loquitis: uhh... dunno if it was in edgy to be honest... I know the tool is in Gutsy and Hardy, perhaps you would consider upgrading [11:42] * teamcobra <3's gftp's ssh support, but yeh, that's not win32 ;) [11:42] PastorBones, it is probably in hosts.deny [11:43] Is it possible with evolution to set weather to load html-mail images for folders seperatelly? [11:43] i get a gpg error, how do i fix this? [11:43] thank you [11:43] PastorBones, but removing it from there will not help, you will need to whitelist the ip [11:43] how do I do that? [11:43] PastorBones, because next time it runs, it will see all the failures, and re-add it :) [11:43] I'm blocked from my own site [11:44] blabber: afaik you need a gpg key to access the repository you added. I cant remember how to retrieve one, check the site that gave you the link to teh repo [11:44] well, I removed it already trying to fix the problem [11:44] PastorBones, check the docs, i cant remember exactly, but its pretty easy [11:44] If I only have a single subnet, could my server be set as a gateway, and route to the internet via another gateway on the same subnet? [11:44] hey anyone knows how to install compiz fusion [11:44] pastor : blocking is a bad idea...... look into snort inline w/ drop rules [11:44] thanks [11:44] PastorBones, you have a serial connection? [11:44] Djluv5: from the repositories... [11:44] nope ssh [11:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16555/ [11:44] Light: short of upgrading this whole thing there must be a way to deal with this... I am using the driver 1.0-8776 according to nvidia-settings [11:44] but I can't access the site [11:44] other vhosts work, just not this one [11:44] Djluv5: its already installed if you have 8.04 [11:45] PastorBones, you could "bounce" there [11:45] loquitis: if there is, im unaware of it... sorry, see if someone else knows [11:45] Light: I looked all over the place, the site doesn't say anything about gpg, i can't find it.. [11:45] PastorBones, get a free shell somewhere and use that [11:45] the lines i added were: [11:45] deb ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free [11:45] deb-src ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free [11:45] PastorBones, or get a trusted friend to do it for you [11:45] guys, how do I install a printer when I don't have Linux drivers for it? [11:45] PastorBones, of course, after that change the password and have the friend killed [11:45] blabber: lolwut, those are the main debian repos, installing packages from them could break ubuntu [11:45] pastor: need a shell for tonight? [11:46] light: it seems to me the issue might just be that I am running an old ersion of the nvidia driver... [11:46] my shell works, the site doesn't [11:46] besides the terminal is in the other room [11:46] ahh, cool [11:46] PastorBones, your ip is blocked, getting another ip will let you in [11:46] where is it blocked, iptables? [11:46] PastorBones, ah ok important info that [11:46] teamcobra, its hosts.deny [11:46] ahhhhhh [11:46] loquitis_of_borg: well, you could try updating the driver to teh latest on the nvidia site, however the easiest way by far is to install from the repos of a later version of Ubuntu (preferably 8.04) [11:47] I have some mailinglist letters which are in html with images. I've filtered the mails into there own folders. Can I make Evolution load the images automatically for this folder, but not for other folders? [11:47] bbiab [11:47] there's nothing in hosts.deny [11:47] PastorBones, check hosts.* [11:47] maybe you have hosts.blocked [11:47] Light-: I'm installing a wifi driver madwifi.. nothing mentioned about gpg in the steps [11:47] http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi [11:47] hi [11:47] hi gtoo-dtoo [11:47] Light: when you say upgrade, can I just goto synaptic and tell it to upgrade my whole system to 8.0.4 or is it a reinstall of the OS? [11:48] blabber: a madwifi-tools is available in the ubuntu repositories [11:48] only hosts.deny and hosts.allow...both are empty [11:48] loquitis_of_borg: it is possible to do it that way, however I do not recommend it as it broke my system last time I tried. I recommend a fresh install [11:48] others can get to the site, but I can't [11:48] Light-, : yes, but I need to install madwifi itself first, by building it using m-a (module assistant) [11:49] loquitis_of_borg: However, if you still want to try, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all "edgy" lines with "hardy", save, then run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [11:49] PastorBones, then its not denyhosts, unless you have a very interesting config [11:49] PastorBones, ssh -vvv host will give you more detail as to why you cant get in [11:49] blabber: thats a bit beyond me sorry :) anyone else know how to so this? [11:49] is there a way to backup Ubuntu? [11:50] I mean, like how you back up your files/system on Windows? [11:50] Light: I know you mentioned updating the OS, but let's say I just updated the nvidia driver... which one should I get? iright now I have 1.0-8776, which came out in 2006 and is a IA32 one... there seems to be alot of x86 ones too... what is the difference? [11:50] Light-, : I just need the gpg key, I just want to know where to get it.. [11:50] PastorBones, why you say "get to the site" do you mean browse some web pages, or log on with ssh? [11:51] loquitis_of_borg: they pretty much mean the same thing (both 32-bit) [11:51] Light-: loquitus_of_borg are you really advicing to do an upgrade not only through comman line (error prone) but skipping versions too??? edgy to hardy in one step !@#!@# [11:51] dlozarie linux has native drivers for many printers [11:51] erUSL: are you supposed to upgrade version to version? [11:51] blabber, have you tried with gpg --search-keys ? [11:51] !upgrade | loquitus_of_borg [11:51] loquitus_of_borg: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [11:51] koshari, okay. I will try to install my Canon printer later. Thank you. :-D [11:51] erUSL: I was unaware of that :) thanks [11:52] dlozarie my canon ip4300 has gitunprint linux drivers [11:52] loquitus_of_borg: if it is not clear. *do* *not* *do* what Light- said [11:52] I have 8.04 but I can't have the fire effect [11:52] Djluv5: install compizconfig settings manager [11:52] am new to ubinto [11:52] koshari, okay. the printer's not with me right now, I'll try installing it once I get it back. :) [11:52] erUSUL: I did not get what you meant.,.. you saying I CAN upgrade to the latest "easily"? [11:52] ubunto [11:52] dlozarie for backing up i use a gparted live disc [11:53] how do u install that [11:53] thefish, : Thanks, that created a couple of files.. is that enough? [11:53] !ccsm | Djluv5 [11:53] Djluv5: ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [11:53] http://rafb.net/p/v8Uxdg60.html [11:53] loquitus_of_borg: not in one step you have to do edgy>feisty>gutsy>hardy or a backup/reinstall [11:53] can anyone tell me why my widget button refuses to show? [11:53] thefish, I can telnet to the domain.com 80 get the index.php but my browser gives network timeout [11:54] erUSUL: ok... I think I understand... so I can do this in 3 upgrade steps right? is it reasonably safe? [11:54] but mail.domain.com works fine on my browser [11:54] same port, same server [11:54] hmm.. [11:54] !compiz [11:54] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [11:54] loquitis_of_borg: that would take a long time and consume a lot of bandwidth in comparison to a fresh install of hardy [11:54] thefish, : It still gives a gpg error.. [11:54] PastorBones, then your browser is the problem, have you tried using the ip address in your browser? [11:54] blabber, try --recv-keys [11:54] loquitus_of_borg: i can say that i did it back in the day when releases came out (i reinstalled gutsy to switch to 64 bits) [11:55] yeah, takes me to mail.domain.com [11:55] Light-: Can you help me understand how to make the window accept more then one widget? [11:56] sweetgum: I have not played around with widgets, so not really sorry [11:56] PastorBones, i think maybe you have dns issues then - so you have 2 apache vhosts on that box? [11:56] thefish, : same.. [11:56] I have a webcam as well but there is no driver for it to work. It is bundle into my laptop [11:57] blabber, i think you may need to now export the key from gpg, then use apt-key [11:57] sweetgum: are you coding all that by hand? try using something like glade [11:57] check out gpg --help etc... you are very close :) [11:58] thanks, will try that === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [11:58] sweetgum: you need to place some container widgets on the window in which you then can place other widgets [11:59] if you just add some widget like a button to the window it will fill the complete window [11:59] just look at some examples [11:59] or use glade [11:59] :) [11:59] koshari what exactly is a gparted live disc and how do I use that to back up my system? :) [11:59] Okay, googling the gparted live disc part. :) [12:00] thefish: ye im using winscp mate for file transfer [12:00] mitchell, ye its a really nice easy app, it totally removes the need for normal ftp for windows webdevs :) [12:01] dlozarie: its a livecd with gparted on it [12:01] oh. :) [12:01] dlozarie: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [12:01] so how do I get myself one of them gparted livecd thingies? [12:01] oh okay thanks for the link.

[12:03] hey guys has anyone tried InitNG? [12:03] dlozarie you need a live disc because you cannot backup the disc if its mounted [12:03] mattycoze, i think you are using it if you are on hardy, not 100% sure though [12:03] koshari, oh I see. :) [12:03] thefish oh lol [12:04] dlozarie you could use your ubuntu live disc however because clonezilla isnt installed by default you would need a network connection to install the package or a personal repo, thats why i just use clonezilla [12:04] dlozarie http://gpartedclonz.tuxfamily.org/index.php [12:04] mattycoze, you using the ubuntu box as a web server only? [12:04] koshari, thanks for the link. [12:04] blabber, did you manage to sort that key out? [12:05] why can't i install mozilla with apt-get install mozilla?

[12:19] scifiguy951, sudo nmap victim.foo -P0 etc [12:19] hello [12:19] grub can be handy, if you can make it work on an installation :p [12:19] sure, it's probably great and all..

I asked, and they said it was not possible yet - we had to use windows [12:23] checkdir error: cannot create /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_3.2.1 [12:23] unable to process com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_3.2.1/DevLoader.zip.

[12:25] hi people [12:25] how do I unzip something? [12:25] Panic1: if you know the process name, you can use pidof [12:25] jack_sparrow, yes I had, actually: ubuntu won't boot. Grub won't load from my floppy. But as grub has never _ever_ worked for me I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what... [12:25] nalpha, did you have to install anything for ncomputing, or does it use ltsp or something? [12:25] Pici: i'm using several ssh tunnels at the time [12:25] The Filesystem item in Places menu has gone without any reason, but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and howto fix that? [12:25] a video goes with pauses (not sound) when I watch youtube on Firefox :(( [12:25] they are all 'ssh' [12:26] icqnumber, look in a file manager window/sidebar - see any places in the 'places' there? [12:26] nell_b Gurb on a floppy is problematic.. why are you needing floppies and have you read the different ways you can install ubuntu [12:26] grub [12:26] could you help me - how can i setup config for vncserver by ssh on hardy? [12:26] wluijben, you could use the 'unzip' command. [12:26] !info 7zip [12:26] Package 7zip does not exist in hardy === tim is now known as Guest56280 [12:26] does someone knows how to make apache2/python debug outputs in english?

[12:27] .zip [12:27] !zip [12:27] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [12:27] icqnumber, it was scrollled to the other monitor :) [12:27] unzip will work then :-) [12:27] Panic1, pids="$pids $!" will give you the last launched pid iirc [12:27] thefish: nComputing is a thin client hardware that can use up to 30 users in Linux as Server (in the Brochure). www.ncomputing.com but I out of Idea while I can't connect than 10 users in my Ubuntu 7.04 server [12:27] nalpha are you saying your unable to create another user account? [12:27] ubottu: I used fine roller, but it returned error [12:27] wluijben: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:28] icqnumber, thats weird. try adding a new place.. see if that new place is added.. [12:28] nalpha, i know exactly what ncomputing is, we have deployed lots of them, but with windows [12:28] nalpha, my question is did you have to install any software on the linux host? [12:28] thefish: ups not 7.04 server but desktop. Are linux ubuntu 7.04 desktop limit user to 10? [12:28] wluijben what error.. those are inportant [12:28] thefish: it's being started in a ruby script, it launches several forks, no way of telling that the last lauched PID is the ssh :( [12:28] koshari: no.. the problem is I can't connect to the server but can create more then 10 users. [12:29] Panic1, :/ if you find out would you mind telling me, thats an interesting one [12:29] thefish: ow.. sorry... No, I Didn't install any software as I remember. [12:29] Dr_willis_: add new places, where? in .gtk_bookmarks file? [12:29] is there an archive that still has the ubuntu/dists/edgy and ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates directories? I am trying to update to feisty [12:29] icqnumber, just drag a folder to the left side panel/places in the file manager.

[12:29] thefish: what's software can cause this limitation? You using all your nComputing with windows? [12:29] help, an aplication running wild eats up all my memory, but I can't kill it! (killall, kill -4/-9 - nothing works!) [12:29] wluijben: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:29] etc [12:29] nalpha ok sorry , so you have a user list on the server with more than 10 but its only allowing 10 to connect at a time? [12:29] thefish: i read something about creating symbolic links with a unique name, and then use the pidof thing [12:29] nalpha, it would be useful to find out what it uses for the desktops then... do you just configure the ncomp boxes with the linux machines ip? [12:30] thefish: how many users that can be connected in your windows server [12:30] jack_sparrow, lilo never gave me any trouble with floppies. I know it can work with grub, I just don't see why it wouldn't work for me. The general idea behind the floppy is that I can easily restore my disks in case of a linux screw up. This worked great with Suse (and lilo) but has never worked with ubuntu (and grub), which is truly a shame... [12:30] nalpha, its windows xp, so limited to 10 [12:30] koshari: absolutely rigth [12:30] nalpha, but if there is no software installed, then i cant see how they limit it [12:30] hi [12:31] nalpha, you dont know if its vnc, or ltsp or xyz? [12:31] nell_b You can use the alternatecd to install ubuntu with lilo.. but floppies are a thing of the past and are likely to have less and less support in the future [12:31] is there any server that still has the ubuntu / dists / edgy and ubuntu / dists / edgy-updates folders? [12:31] Dr_willis_: everything is ok in the file manager, only in menu places on the top not.... [12:31] thefish: I don't know... and whats configure the ncomp boxes with the linux machines ip? [12:31] nalpha well sorry cant help you there , i could only hazard a guess [12:31] Panic1, ye spose that would work, but makes a bit more mess to clean up [12:31] thefish: what program's that can cause limitation? [12:31] could someone point me in teh direction of some wireless support channel for Ubuntu HH (8.04?) [12:31] nalpha, did you set up the other ncomp boxes? [12:31] icqnumber, i was thinking that if you added a new place.. it might cause the menu places - to get reread/reset... but perhaps not. [12:31] does anyone know why ubuntu doesnt have phpbb3 package when debian does? [12:32] koshari: okey, nevermind.. thanx for try to helping. [12:32] nalpha, to make sure we are talking about the same thing, its a little thin-client box? [12:32] thefish: Yes, I set up the nComp Boxes to point my Server Ip Addresss. [12:32] actually how would I tell my Ubuntu now to goto old-releases.ubuntu.com to find edgy updates? [12:32] nalpha, thats what i was asking :) [12:32] Jack_Sparrow: these erros mean that the roller is not admin? [12:32] h1d: did debian add it after hardy was frozen for release? [12:32] nalpha, and you didnt do anything special on the server? [12:32] nell_b Running a live cd to do a repair or a restore is easier than a floppy [12:33] nalpha, how do you add more ncomputing users? [12:33] how i can add win application in wine? i try access my c:/ and enter programs file folder then try to open adobe photoshop ..but i cant open [12:33] hello [12:33] !gksudo | wluijben [12:33] wluijben: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [12:33] JbCrash: you need to install them through wine [12:33] h1d: because packages are needing a maintainer first for ubuntu [12:33] JbCrash /join #winehq [12:33] thefish: that I remember, I just install Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop with nComputing server. Just that. Maybe other small programs like nmap, iperf just that... [12:34] how to enabled pl2302 serial port in Ubuntu? [12:34] Dr_willis_: this will be too simple [12:34] jrib...its tat i cant open file from c:? [12:34] thefish: Only create username and password and setup the nComp Boxes... [12:34] nalpha, you installed ncomputing server? [12:34] JbCrash: not in general, no [12:34] nell_b i tend to agree with jack_sparrow, especially given i havnt installed a floppy in a machine for about 6 years. [12:34] icqnumber, if it works.. :) [12:34] nalpha, was this software...? that you installed on the server? [12:35] jack_sparrow, so okay let's look at the theoretical possibility of me being tired of having to defend my bootfloppy everytime someone finds out and starts yelling at me for being a conservative, right-winged bastard that won't let go of the past etc et etc... Do you have a clue as to what could possibly be wrong with my grub? [12:35] thefish: nMap and Iperf?? [12:35] is there any way i can make a gnome keyboard shortcut to start gedit? [12:35] i thought phpbb was a popular package, wondering why its not there yet [12:36] nalpha, never mind other "standard" stuff, did you install anything specific to ncomputing? [12:36] nell_b Not without seeing how you set it up... Are you running ubuntu now [12:36] h1d: did you read what I said? [12:36] nalpha, did you put in a cd, or download something from ncomputing? [12:36] nalpha, on the server i mean [12:36] jrib, nope [12:36] h1d: did debian add it after hardy was frozen for release? [12:36] thefish: no.. I never do something after install the Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop [12:36] it scrolled off, now im reading it [12:36] !timebasedreleases > h1d (read the private message from ubottu) [12:37] its that any way i can open or boot vista from linux? i dowan shutdown my linux and open vista..just switch it can? === jilbab_jingga is now known as cherry_jeambeam_ [12:37] nalpha, and the ubuntu 7.04 desktop is the server, and you are putting its IP address in to all the thinclient boxes? [12:37] nell_b: do I understand you right if I think you have the actual grub binaries and the mbr on the floppy instead of installing it to a hard drive? [12:37] JbCrash /join #vbox [12:37] thefish: yes all of the thinclient boxes point to my server with different ip address. [12:37] nell_b: and you set the computer to boot off the floppy [12:37] nalpha, did you put ncomputing hardware into the linux machine? those cards that look like multi-network cards? [12:37] so, what can be done to speed up the package deployment of phpbb3 for ubuntu? [12:37] thefish: I'm using L230 and L130 [12:38] jack_sparrow, sorry, no. I'm restructuring the harddrive with partition magic. I installed ubuntu on some unpartitioned space and thought that might be the problem. So I shifted things a bit, but the result was the same. I'm trying to put everything back now. The alternate CD does sound interesting, though. [12:38] !backports > h1d (read the private message from ubottu) [12:38] gksudo fine-roller isnt working D; [12:39] wluijben: its file-roller, not fine-roller [12:39] h1d: you can get involved in backporting it if it has made its way into intrepid [12:39] nell_b run the alt install.. use lilo since you are familiar with it and you feel it works better on floppies since you want to stay with that process [12:39] Do I need to find out how to start a program from the command line everything I run something with the mouse, when it needs to run as admin.. [12:39] hmm ok, i wish someone did it already, since its not a minor project (at least i thought so) [12:39] thefish: what kind of nCompuing that u used [12:40] nalpha, it seems you need to install server software on the server, you definately didnt install server software on the server? [12:40] wluijben sudo or gksudo for gui apps [12:40] nalpha, x300 [12:40] slart, yes, the floppy's first in the boot sequence, it does acces the floppy and it does say 'grub' and then it just hangs.. I have no idea what the ubuntu installer puts on the floppy, I changed the location of the booloader to (fd0) and thought that'd be enough [12:40] hi all [12:40] thefish: do you mean "nComputing server programs"? [12:40] nell_b could you install grub on an alternative disk and use the bios options to toggle the bootable disk? and for the record i guess you could try installing grub root to fd0 [12:41] any good sugestions on hdd install ubuntu ? [12:41] Jack_Sparrow: yes, but thats not very practical, I don't know the names of programs that start when I double click on a file [12:41] Is it also possible to send email with mail in Linux? [12:41] jack_sparrow, good idea, I might try that, thanks :) [12:41] wluijben If you intend to run them with root priv.. you should at least know the name of them [12:41] cecc: I don't see what you are asking [12:41] I mean use hdd to boot and install ubuntu [12:42] cecc: without a cd? [12:42] pim, yes [12:42] yes [12:42] !install > cecc (read the private message from ubottu) [12:42] nalpha, yes! [12:42] cecc: check there [12:42] thefish how does that work? [12:42] cecc See the many many easier ways to do it [12:42] pim, check out the man page, they are the same as most nix variants :) [12:42] ok [12:43] thank you all [12:43] nell_b: well.. as with anything involving floppies, the first thing I'd check is the floppy itself.. those things aren't really built to last.. as for the whole idea, I've never tried it myself, but it seems google offer lots of hits about putting grub on a floppy, here's one http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy.html [12:44] anyone know of a utility to manage internet bandwidth between multiple users, ie when 3 are connected give ea 1/3rd of bandwidth, and if ones not using it farm the rest out untill they want the load back ect? [12:44] nell_b: here's even an article from ubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy [12:44] koshari: traffic shaping I think it's called. [12:44] !shaping [12:44] Factoid shaping not found [12:44] thefish [12:45] nell_b I know you want to stick with the floppy solution, but look into the whole livecd thing.. they really work much better [12:45] !compiz [12:45] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [12:45] hey guys, quick question - lately images have been 'burning' onto my screen [12:45] Slart, I'm quite positive it's not the floppy. I must be doing something grub _really_ doesn't like, since it has never, ever, worked. [12:45] nalpha, [12:45] thefish: If I not using nComputing software so all of my nComputing will now works i think [12:45] like embedded and cant get rid of [12:45] usually parts of text boxes [12:46] nalpha, sorry i dont understand [12:46] what is default remote-display? I has to enter remote_display for xmacrorec [options] remote_display [12:46] and i can't get rid of them, they are on all desktop [12:46] michael Is this an old crt type monitor [12:46] thefish: I mean I already install the nComputing software :) [12:46] jack_sparrow no, i'm using laptop and external, and it's on both [12:46] jack_sparrow both new monitors [12:47] nalpha, whew, thats what i wanted all along! [12:47] nalpha, thats whats limiting you [12:47] michael: Did you happen to enable the compiz motion blur plugin? [12:47] hello all, i need some help getting compiz up, i cannot enable desktop effects in hardy [12:47] michael both are lcd and you say they are burning in... can you take a screenshot and post it online for us [12:47] Junkie /join #compiz [12:47] thefish: the nComputing software limit my connected users? [12:47] nalpha, i am 90% sure yes [12:47] Pici good point [12:48] jack_sparrow doing right now ;) [12:48] yo [12:48] jack_sparrow, I don't see how the live cds relate to my floppy. [12:48] thefish: why??? the limitation didn;t came from the operating system but with nComputing System???? [12:48] michael Canyou turn off effects and see if it goes away [12:48] nalpha, yes [12:49] jack_sparrow http://trafficdealer.com/embedd-error.png [12:49] jack_sparrow k, i'll try [12:49] Guys, i don't suppose anyone can help me with a problem i'm having trying to get "World of Warcraft" playing at a playable FPS. Normally (on windows) i get around 80/100fps ingame, but in ubuntu i am only getting between 15-20fps. :( [12:49] thefish: what the heck... how come???? -_- ... the nComputing promise that it can be used up to 30 users in Linux Server... [12:49] jack_sparrow turning off works :) [12:50] ReverendUK: turn off compiz? [12:50] jack_sparrow any idea what causes it? [12:50] michael That does not look like a burn in.. it is aghost [12:50] koshari, Installing grub on an other hdd was an option, yes. But that'd still be more troublesome than a floppy. But still, there's no way I can know whether the problem lies with the floppy or with grub itself. THere might be something else I'm doing that screws up grub === Pooky is now known as PKnull [12:50] jack_sparrow ah, sorry ;) [12:50] nalpha, not sure, i just looked on the site, it says 30 users on a "server" OS [12:50] michael Had me worried for a sec.. I have never seen a burn in on lcd [12:51] nalpha, maybe they dont like the "desktop" ubuntu? [12:51] michael Have you tweaked compiz much? [12:51] but i got stuck with an ATI in this laptop and well things arnt so good [12:51] nalpha, it would be best if you spoke to the person that sold it to you [12:51] jack_sparrow improper wording! :) Yes, i've done quite a bit...i think i forgot to back it up too so i might have just lost it all! hahahah [12:51] jack_sparrow so it has something to do with compiz i guess? [12:52] michael no.. it should keep your settings.. [12:53] slart, the ubuntu tutorial is great, I could try that :) [12:53] michael some combinationof your effects is having a conflict.. you can re tweek or flush them all and start playing again.. but at least it isnt anything serious [12:53] thefish : hm... thanx alot.. for helping. so i know the problem came with the nComputing software... thanx... [12:53] uhm, can anyone tell me .. if I want to mount my /dev/sda5 on /home/syntax/ .. i think i need to make changes to my /etc/fstab.. right??? can anyone tell me what i have to insert in there..? [12:53] nalpha, it can only come from there, and i think it may be because its "desktop" version - you could try installing the "server" version of ubuntu [12:53] nell_b: yea.. considering all you need is an extra floppy =) [12:53] tyberion Let me give you a tutorial.. one sec [12:54] jack_sparrow very true, at least i have a temp fix :) thank you [12:54] jack_sparrow for some reason it changed the spacing of my 3dwindows when i rotate cube O_o [12:54] tyberion http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [12:54] Is there a way to manage the places menu? [12:54] jack_sparrow so far that's all i've noticed that it changed...phew! thanks again [12:54] oops psted the wrong line i meant to say: is it better to install generic or linux-amd64-k8 on an AMD64 turion ? [12:55] Rioting_pacifist: it doesn't really matter [12:55] michael np.. I have 3d windows and fish in the cube.. yea.. lots of fun [12:55] !generic | Rioting_pacifist [12:55] Rioting_pacifist: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [12:55] Rioting_pacifist: the amd64-k8 will be a little bit faster I suppose.. but it's a small small difference [12:55] !smp [12:55] * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!) [12:55] Rioting_pacifist, if you have more than 3GB ram, use amd64.. there are some closed source apps that wont work on 64bits eg flash ( or adobe has a 64bit flash client available now? ) === Rolanditu is now known as Rolanditu\Afk [12:56] Is there a way to manage the places menu? [12:56] jack_sparrow unnecessary update - it might have not changed those settings, i just had 20 so windows open on all spaces, and it just put them all on one desktop b/c i turned it off/on [12:56] jack_sparrow O_o :) :) [12:56] XLV: nope.. still nothing new there [12:56] chrismir_, i just add/remove items in the sidebar of the file manager and the places menu reflects the changes [12:56] michael Ive done that too [12:56] XLV: but you can run the 32-bit flash client in a ndiswrapper thingy [12:56] well im on 64bit anyway just wonderd if its worth changing to amd [12:57] !away > Rolanditu\Afk (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [12:57] Slart, yeah, i know.. or use 32bit chroot etc.. there are always ways [12:57] you dont actually have to wory about 64bit flash it sorted it self out for me my only problem is its slightly less stable than 32bit Firefox + flash (but now i can just kill flash) [12:57] Jack_Sparrow: well, thanks=) actually I already have the freespace.. converted the freespace to ext3, mounted it as /test and copied my whole home folder into it.. well I just need to change my fstab and ubuntu is gonna use that home folder from now on,no? [12:58] Dr_willis_: Ok thx. But is it also possible to edit bookmarks? I've created a ftp bookmark, but the username was not set correctly [12:58] *by sorted itself out i mean ubuntu devs got ndiswrapper to automagically fix everything [12:58] God I love you guys here, so helpful! I can't wait 'til i can actually contribute as well :) [12:58] tyberion correct, once you make the edit in fstab, per the link I gave [12:58] Rioting_pacifist: not ndiswrapper [12:58] hay!i want to install 2nd os next to mine banto - it would be arch...and i have a question:can arch and banto use same swap file?if yes the arch installer want's to format it anways.won't is interfere with banto install? [12:58] Rioting_pacifist, how you mean you are on 64bits anyway? both intel emt64 and amd's 64bit extensions are served by amd64 kernel [12:58] anyone know how to determine if a given cpu can support 64-bit (em64t)? [12:58] Keep up the good work!! [12:58] chrismir_, no idea on that. Try right clicking seeinf if tehres a properties menu. i guess. [12:59] How to set the bot in IRC channel ....? [12:59] poopuser It can share swap... it should not ba a prob.. do you suspend often.. if so use a second swap === jayr is now known as nine_tails [12:59] TooR4u What do you mean by set the bot [12:59] jetsaredim, cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:59] I know that eggdrop will help but i dont know the process ... [12:59] Dr_willis_: I tried that of course :) Do you perhaps know where the bookmark files are stored? [12:59] XLV: and look for what? [13:00] jetsaredim: if you can identify it fully, you can look it up on the manufacturer's web site or on Wikipedia [13:00] chrismir_, not really. i rarely use that feature [13:00] Jack_Sparrow, Hiii .. I mean ... just use for some proper use .. [13:00] Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning "I can't configure Debian" [13:00] I like that [13:00] Jack_Sparrow, dont u know what the bot is ..? [13:00] Dr_willis_: ok, no probes [13:00] problem* [13:00] TooR4u We have many bot's here in ubuntu channels [13:00] Jack_Sparrow: so even if arch's installer will format swap it still will be ok?suspend?sry i am really a newb - what are u refering to? [13:00] jetsaredim, no, my bad, on 32bit installation it wont show anything.. well, try lshw, maybe it shows more info on cpu [13:01] XLV well i installed the amd64 version of kubuntu but im on the generic kernel instead of the amd64 one [13:01] poopuser Laptop users suspend when battery gets low etc... [13:01] What would be the best way to store multiple ftp bookmarks/credentials? [13:01] Rioting_pacifist: generic does not mean that it's not 64bit [13:01] Rioting_pacifist, so you run 64bit binaries on a 32bit kernel? [13:01] Jack_Sparrow, yahh .. i know .. I just want to set the bot in other channel ... (I just want to know .. the process ... thats it ..) [13:01] do you only supprt Ubuntu [13:01] lolol industrialbs [13:01] or I can ask questions about another distro [13:01] Rioting_pacifist: if you run 'uname -a' you'll see that your kernel is x86_64 [13:02] poopuser if arch formats the swap it could change uuid and be an issue... [13:02] TooR4u this is the wrong place to ask non-ubuntu support questions [13:02] XLV: no im running a 64bit kernel, just the generic one not the amd-k8 one, aparently ther performance difference is neglegable though [13:02] borgdrone_: you can ask, but don't be offended if you're ignored or sent elsewhere [13:02] !pm | TooR4u [13:02] TooR4u: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [13:03] Centos chanell is dead [13:03] and I have Centos question :( [13:03] borgdrone_: This is only an Ubuntu support channel. [13:03] Jack_Sparrow, Okey .. [13:03] borgdrone_: try ##linux [13:03]  Jack_Sparrow:ah...no not me.thx 4 tips...oh w8...so...if i set same partition for swap in arch and forbid the installer to format it will it work with new os? [13:03] poopuser yes [13:03] thank u again [13:03] np [13:04] bye [13:04] Hello Everybody [13:04] !hi | raddy [13:04] hello [13:04] raddy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:05] Is there a repo that provides Firefox 3 RC1 that doesn't break with ubuntu-desktop? [13:05] raddy: I hear it's in hardy-proposed [13:05] Ohhh [13:05] why is it still 3.0b5? [13:06] every other distro is using rc1 [13:06] Dusk_: why not? [13:06] raddy but note that proposed... is just that.. not ready for all users [13:06] They may as well wait till its 'final' befor putting it in the main repos.. would be my logic. [13:07] i don't understand their logic :D [13:07] hey guys, i just installed the ATI drives via ENVY, but (8-3) but i'm still not seeing the typical options for setting screens... help? [13:07] envy. oh dear [13:08] i tried without envy but failed the same [13:08] Dusk_ Judging by the number of people having problems with it, I am glad they are not on the absoulte latest rc [13:08] typical options? [13:08] polishpaul We have envyng in our repos [13:08] Is there a way to check the size of installations for ubuntu versions? [13:08] Hey, can't remember who it was who told me to disable compiz for the WoW problem. Nevertheless, i have done it but i haven't seen any improvement :( [13:08] Before I install it. [13:09] ReverendUK, you are using theat OpenGL option for WoW ? [13:09] Jack_Sparrow, i see..but what were they thinking by putting a beta version on a LTS disto? [13:09] ReverendUK are you using wine? [13:09] Yes Dr Willis :) [13:09] Yes [13:09] Dusk_, no matter what they did - people would be complaining.. [13:09] Dusk_ es beta but after tweaks and testing... [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: thats what i have installed.. [13:10] i heard firefox 3.0rc1 and flashplugin 10 has some problems [13:10] polishpaul but did you install the web envy first [13:10] !mac [13:10] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [13:10] * Dr_willis_ wonders whos brave enouhg to even try Flash 10 at this time.....

[13:10] ReverendUK: hello. did you get lx-3000 working? [13:10] Aah hey Legend, yeah :) [13:11] ReverendUK: great how? [13:11] I just disabled the onboard one (as you had previously mentioned) in the bios, and then it forced everything to detect the USB one as the default :) [13:11] polishpaul I have seen a few problems where people used the regular envy then tried envyng from our repo.. I still have no answer for that [13:11] ReverendUK: do they work nice? [13:11] Perfect :) [13:11] soundray, np i closed the topic..despite everything ubuntu is the greatest distro and has a great community [13:11] No problems, what-so-ever [13:12] astro76: as per your suggestion, it is Proposed repo and i am currently installing it. [13:12] ReverendUK: perservance wins out lol [13:12] hrm, if i want to compile mono from svn and install it to the system, should i try to remove mono packages before i do? [13:12] astro76: let us see how it comes out [13:12] raddy remove proposed after you install that.. [13:12] Dusk_: I wouldn't know -- haven't tried anything else in years ;) [13:12] ReverendUK: perserverance [13:12] Indeed, however i have lost the use of the onboard card. Which i do use in windows for recording purposes from an outside source, but as you said, just have to persevere and re-enable it whenever i need it :) [13:12] I turned off swap, formated, Id like to mount automatically in my ubuntu 8, how to do? Im asking because in fstab theres hash UID in front of partitions [13:13] !uuid [13:13] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [13:13] hey, I just installed ubuntu without a network connection (so it skipped all the APT stuff) but now I have a problem installing stuff, it can't find anything but basic stuff (I installed some security updates), in synaptic all the repos are enables, but yet I can't find stuff like irssi.. [13:13] Jack_Sparrow: of course, have to [13:13] S4nD3r you can still use the old way /dve/sda1 in place of uuid [13:13] dev [13:14] eight_ system admin software sources.. [13:14] /dev/sda5: UUID="11b30ba5-ef79-4e52-8cf1-818ffd175140" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" [13:14] is that correct ? [13:14] soundray, i tried many...there's no perfect OS..but according to me after trying all there..community is everything [13:15] eight_: are you sure all repos are enabled? Go through System-Admin-Software Sources to double-check [13:15] how about this one - i'm using xchat, but i don't see the option to disable the join/leave messages? I use it on another PC and that option is there by right clicking the channel... what the dilly yo?? [13:15] Jack_Sparrow: it's all enabled, anything in particular I need to look at? [13:15] S4nD3r if you are asking is that the line for fstab.. no.. just replace uuid with /dev/number [13:15] eight_ sudo apt-get update === mgp is now known as unbuntuz [13:16] i'm having quite a few problems with sound on my thinkpad t61p... first the mic didnt work, now sound doesnt work... i still get sound from the headphones but not the speakers === unbuntuz is now known as mgp [13:16] polishpaul youdo it by channel.. right click [13:16] Any suggestions Dr_willis_/odinsbane? :( [13:16] hy [13:16] eight_: exit synaptic before you follow Jack_Sparrow's or my advice [13:16] MrNaz we have a link for sound problems or you can /join #alsa [13:16] Jack_Sparrow: right.. that's why i'm perplexed.. its not there! ive used xchat before.. are there different versions? [13:17] Jack_Sparrow: E: Unable to lock the list directory [13:17] soundray thanks.. didnt know he had synaptic open, he can just update from there [13:17] soundray: I did exit synaptic [13:17] anyone know how to get rid of HUGE title bars on all windows? seems to be a bug because i get it on about half my reboots and its really starting to bug me [13:17] eight_ are any package updaters managers running [13:17] although the error indicates otherwise [13:17] !aptfix [13:17] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [13:18] Jack_Sparrow oh... cool [13:18] polishpaul xchat or xchat gnome [13:18] xchat gnome.... [13:18] Jack_Sparrow whats the link for sound issues? [13:18] nah, didn't help [13:18] so Jack_Sparrow: in my fstab, # /dev/sda4 UUID=5720714f-a040-483a-b01e-83746d52cde6 /home ext3 relatime [13:18] polishpaul ah... try regular schat.. it has a higher user satisfaction rating inhere [13:18] # is for comments, right ? [13:19] S4nD3r wrong.. one sec [13:19] dsj [13:19] Hi, does anyone know of a good chm to pdf tool (that respects page ends etc) [13:19] eight_: can you do a 'sudo apt-get update' and paste the error on http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:19] opensource or freeware off course ;) [13:19] anyone know how to get rid of HUGE title bars on all windows? seems to be a bug because i get it on about half my reboots? [13:20] S4nD3r here is mine for an example http://paste.ubuntu.com/16572/ [13:20] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16573/ [13:21] I mistake [13:21] sorry [13:21] eight_: do you have the Software Sources dialog open still? [13:21] soundray: no [13:21] chm to pdf ? anyone ? [13:22] could this happen because I need to restart after a security update? [13:22] eight_: try 'sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock ; sudo apt-get update' [13:22] S4nD3r Let me know if you have questions on that [13:22] eight_ would not be a bad idea [13:22] eight_: restarting is a good idea [13:22] :) [13:22] especially if it told you to do so [13:22] :) [13:23] yeah, but I don't think it matters to apt.. [13:23] Goodmorning Soundray [13:23] Jack_Sparrow: You unabled UUID in fstab [13:23] Jack_Sparrow: good afternoon captain [13:24] S4nD3r Yes you can do it either way [13:24] ciao [13:24] !list [13:24] 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 ;) [13:24] anyway, what soundray said is working.. hope it will work nicely after the update.. [13:24] Ummm.... All others partitions are mounted using UUID [13:24] !list [13:24] S4nD3r you can mix and match [13:24] jampy Stop [13:24] <_eMaX_> re [13:24] <_eMaX_> in compiz, what is the extension that allows you to see all desktops? [13:24] hi every body ... [13:24] <_eMaX_> like kompose [13:25] _eMaX_, expo [13:26] <_eMaX_> frostburn: tnx [13:26] <_eMaX_> strange it doesn't show up in ccsm [13:26] Does Gutsy and Hardy come with default UDF support? [13:26] _eMaX_ i think its called "scale" [13:26] how do i tell what options were given to configure when building the .deb package ? [13:26] guys, i have an old PC, 533 MHz, and 128 MB rams, will that be enough to run xubuntu?? [13:26] oh, and another thing.. my school's network is messed up, so it freezes in the middle of downloads sometimes... [13:26] it did now [13:26] yes, Juventino [13:26] scale is for showing all windows on a desktop, not all desktops [13:26] <_eMaX_> Stroganoff: scale is for the windows on one desktop [13:27] <_eMaX_> I think it was expo [13:27] <_eMaX_> strangely, it doesnt show [13:27] ummmm [13:27] would ctrl+c while apt updating would be smart? [13:27] babolat then why it says it needs up to 192 MB of ram on the xubuntu page? [13:27] Juventino yes.. depending a little on what you're going to do with it [13:28] Juventino: use the alternate installer instead [13:28] Juventino: those are the *recommended* min. reqs.. it's been experienced to work nicely on less [13:28] <_eMaX_> frostburn: do you use compiz && could you verify your version number of ccsm? [13:28] Slart i am downloading the alternate [13:28] babolat, Juventino: it might be the live cd that needs the 192 MB memory... the installed system might not need it [13:28] babolat well i have Sidux running on it, but it was awefuly slow [13:29] ReverendUK: what problem with WoW? [13:29] i haven't idea how Sidux is, Juventino.. [13:29] is vericad not free software? which sotware can i use as alternative to autocad? [13:30] babolat: u might try alternate cd install for low ram pc [13:30] Juventino: if you feel xubuntu is being to heavy there's always Damn Small Linux and other such distros out there [13:30] Slart: i don't think so.. 192 MB i think is for the actual install.. [13:30] Juventino, i have ubuntu running a PC with 128mb ram, it is ok as long as you do not run too many programs at once, and yeah i used the alternate install cd [13:30] m1r: Juventino asked the question. direct your answer to him ;) [13:30] babolat: ok [13:31] m1r: but i did ask if Gutsy and Hardy came with default UDF support :) [13:31] hi everyone. [13:31] i got it working [13:31] but now it [13:31] but now it's just plain laggy! [13:31] !enter | chun [13:31] !enter | chun [13:31] chun: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:31] soundray: is there a way to do the update in parts.. my school's network is messed up.. [13:32] Juventino: use alternate install cd , xubuntu would be good for low spec PC, if that is too hard u can always try with openbox/fluxbox variants [13:32] babolat: from the ubuntu site.. "At least 256 MB of RAM is required to run the desktop install CD", I haven't found any recommended specs on the actual system yet.. might be that 192MB is that number [13:32] which plugin allows me to view all of my open windows tiled on the screen with a corner activation? I also asked in compiz-fusion and am awaiting a reply. [13:32] yes, Slart [13:32] is varicad not free software? which software can i use as alternative to autocad? [13:32] _eMaX_, which what? i'm just using the base compiz build and settings-manager [13:32] How do i get the 3d stuff to not lag so much? my graphic card is really good [13:33] hello [13:33] chun: install the driver? [13:33] chun I cant help but telling people your card might [13:33] chun: also, what videocard do you have? [13:33] kari: varicad runs on linux, but isn't free. [13:33] une personn [13:33] slt [13:33] can anybody tell me how to enable the nicklist (on the side) in irssi ? [13:33] anyone? [13:33] ATI 1950X Pro [13:33] ki parle français [13:34] !fr [13:34] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [13:34] kari: qcad has a slightly older version, missing a couple minor features from pro version, which is open source/free [13:34] eight_: if your download gets interrupted, it'll take off from where it was next time you start it... does that answer your question? [13:34] !fr | amdjah [13:34] kari, depends on your needs. I use qcad [13:34] amdjah: please see above [13:34] who speak french [13:34] amdjah: #ubuntu-fr [13:34] amdjah Please see the link for the french channel [13:34] amdjah: I'm trying to learn. Let's meet in #ubuntu-fr [13:34] babolat: ah.. xubuntu.org was a little more specific.. they say 128Mb to run the live cd, 192 to install. The system can run with 192 but 256 is strongly recommended. [13:34] magnetron:which software can i use alternative to autocad on ubuntu? [13:34] wher please [13:34] err does anyone know tagalog? [13:35] amdjah: /join #ubuntu-fr [13:35] amdjah type /join #Ubuntu-fr [13:35] kari: it says on the Varicad homepage that they have a linux version. [13:35] do Gutsy and Hardy default come with UDF support? [13:35] kari: there's nothing free in the repositories that come close to autocad.. there are some 2d only alternatives out there, QCad is one [13:35] Slart: ubuntu can be installed and runed on 128mb ram but from alternate cd, if u patch openbox on it it runs pretty decent [13:35] soundray: it doesn't [13:35] i sit corrected, Slart :) [13:35] hello all, i want to stop gdm and start application using xinit application, how to make this load automatic everytime ? [13:35] babolat: do you mean packet writing for CD/DVDs? Yes. [13:36] Hi , Is there any easy way to auto mount NTFS drives on boot , read/write enabled ? [13:36] babolat: oh.. I was going to say the same.. I thought the limit was 64Mb or something like that [13:36] argh [13:36] eight_: please rephrase your question then [13:36] shwan yes [13:36] !ntfs-3g| shwan [13:36] shwan: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [13:36] soundray: i mean just the being-able-to-open-the-darn-data-cd capability... [13:36] Dr_willis_: Slart:magnetron: astro76:is it possible to install autocad on wine? [13:36] shwan: if you edit your /etc/fstab the drives will be mounted on boot [13:37] soundray: it doesn't resume the apt-get update.. I starts all over again [13:37] Slart: then i misread your message.. you're saying that min. req for xubuntu is even lower? [13:37] kari: you'll have to check the application database on that.. appdb.winehq.org [13:37] babolat: nope.. it's 192Mb to run the system.. but 256 is strongly recommended.. [13:37] babolat: just as you said [13:37] eight_: well, it queries all the servers, but unless there is a package list change, it doesn't download all the lists. [13:37] Slart: I just wanted to know if I need to write any thing to enable the write , maybe it is enabled by default ? [13:37] kari: i'm not sure. [13:38] shwan: I would think that it is enabled by default if you're using the latest version of ubuntu [13:38] shwan sudo fdisk -l to find the drive then sudo mkdir /media/mountpoint then edit fstab [13:38] kari: several CAD suites have linux versions though. [13:38] ok, Slart.. because i i've had an old PC installed with xubuntu. it was 128 MB and worked fine. now it's an ubuntu server :) [13:39] Jack_sparrow : yah , i have hardy, ant will do that now [13:39] shwan sudo fdisk -l to find the drive then sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-1 then sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/ntfs-1 changind sdb5 to your ntfs partition number [13:39] soundray: do you have any idea what could cause a data CD with UDF format to give a "Can't mount 'UDF Volume' "? [13:39] does anyone here know how to tell what options to configure were given for a package I installed from apt ? [13:39] soundray: I don't know, every time I ctrl+c the update and start it over it starts from scratch.. [13:39] shwan I suggest you use a more descriptive mount like /media/ntfs-music [13:40] babolat: indeed.. for just doing simple routing, firewall and such you don't need much memory.. but if you're going to run openoffice and gnome I guess 256Mb is minimum [13:40] babolat: corruption in the worst case. Is udf listed in 'cat /proc/filesystems'? [13:40] sorry [13:40] Jack_Sparrow: du I need to say to mount -t fuseblk [13:40] i'm lagging bad [13:40] Slart: it works on 128mb , but long load time [13:40] Slart what were you saying again please? [13:40] about the 128 and 192 of rams? [13:40] shwan do you know our partition number [13:40] yes, soundray [13:41] eight_: don't control-c it then. Let it take as long as it takes. [13:41] can anyone tell me how to get the gpg key or how to add it, for an apt-get installation.. [13:41] shwan What is on that partition.. music, data, movies etc [13:41] Slart: yeah. [13:41] babolat: well, you definitely have support then [13:41] Anyone has exprience with pam-encfs? [13:41] blabber For which repo? [13:41] Lord-Azmodan: we're talking about xubuntu.. you need 128Mb to run the live cd, if you chose to install xubuntu you need 192Mb. The installed system needs 192Mb but 256Mb is strongly recommended [13:41] !anyone | arose [13:41] arose: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:41] soundray: it takes infinitely long.. no kidding [13:42] Slart ye it's me juventino [13:42] Lord-Azmodan: ah =) [13:42] Jack_Sparrow: well , a lot of things , but I will do a test and changing fstab , and then we will see [13:42] well, what if i only have 128? lol [13:42] eight_: you can't positively prove that within any finite period [13:42] soundray: odd. coz i've just been able to open it on my laptop running vista... [13:42] Jack_Sparrow, : http.us.debian.org/debian [13:42] what can i do? [13:42] what's an alternative to flock(the file lock utility not the web browser) on Ubuntu?Ubuntu < 8.04 that is === cyclonut is now known as TristanS [13:42] Lord-Azmodan: what are you going to use the system for? [13:42] blabber not a good idea [13:42] !debian [13:42] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [13:42] I'm trying to mount en encfs folder with pam-encfs but something is failing, ideas?

[14:52] buzz124, but I may be wrong and they have not hit your mirror yet [14:52] PdUb101 did you install kubuntu-desktop perhaps [14:52] question: can I use the live CD to boot into an ubuntu installed on my hdd? [14:52] PdUb101: I assume you didn't install kubuntu and forgot about it.. and no kubuntu live cd in the cd drive? [14:52] nell_b yes, through the grub menu [14:52] Slart: I did install kde as a recommendation from a friend but found i prefer gnome over kde [14:52] nell_b yes.. there is an option to boot the first hd [14:52] Lord-Azmodan, and how would that work ^^ [14:53] bazhang,you're probably wrong because i'm in the main server.... [14:53] jack_sparrow, but it's not the first hdd I want to boot from [14:53] i have a little problem with my login screen. it stubbornly wants to be at 1280x1024 resolution. how can i force it to be at 1024x768. my monitor is broken and when i change res, it collapses and lights back up again. [14:53] well go with Jack_Sparrow's way, it's easier :) [14:53] what's the APT line for commercial repositories please? [14:53] PdUb101: what does lsb_release -a tell you? [14:53] nell_b then you can F6 and manually edit where you want to boot [14:53] !repos | benny269 [14:53] benny269: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

Is that all my attention will be directed to this... not that 90% of it isnt on ubuntu anyways, but this has serious side effects on a guys sex life.. its like what should i choose? sex or ubuntu.... um... geesh. thats hard. [14:55] PdUb101: looks like you're still running ubuntu then [14:56] i have a little problem with my login screen. it stubbornly wants to be at 1280x1024 resolution. how can i force it to be at 1024x768. I already added the vga option in grub and xres and yres in usplash.conf [14:56] tj83 Again offtopic.. but dual booting can give you both.. a virtual threesome as it were [14:56] Slart: so why would it say kubuntu at the opening gui? [14:56] buzz124, well I have not had any like this; so sorry cannot give you more info atm [14:56] how can i "config p00" or whatever it's called to use dial-up/phoneline [14:56] !puregnome [14:56] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [14:56] ?

[14:58] nell_b What release of ubuntu is on your computer [14:58] jack_sparrow, hardy [14:58] are you in it now [14:59] jack_sparrow, it's installed on some unpartitioned space on some harddisk without bootloader. Question remains, how do I access it with the live CD? [14:59] PdUb101, you are using kdm; switch to gdm [14:59] nell_b What partition is it on [14:59] jack_sparrow, I'm in the liveCD menu.. [14:59] What package do I need to install to get the de_DE.UTF-8 locale? [14:59] bazhang: would i log off and select a different GUI?? is that the way i would do that? [15:00] jack_sparrow, I would assume ubuntu created an extended partition [15:00] nell_b sudo fdisk -l [15:00] nell_b Need to be exact [15:00] why can't I use -tar ? [15:00] Is there a linux command to search for a specific text within all files under a directory and subdirectories? [15:01] PdUb101: I kind of like xfce.. but I use gnome for my desktop. [15:01] nikitis: I usually use something like 'find . | xargs grep ' [15:01] jack_sparrow, I can't even find the terminal -_-' [15:01] nell_b applications accessorites [15:01] sp [15:01] nikitis: although I usually use more specific arguments to find and grep, because I usually have a fairly good idea of what I'm looking for and where [15:01] PdUb101: there are others out there .. enlightment, blackbox and others. but they are either very weird of lack the tools and userbase of the big ones [15:02] jack_sparrow, surely there's a way to do this without booting the liveCD? [15:02] man this is nuts, every time I type in the address of my router it is taking me to a google serach page or some holding page... didn't think I was susceptible to such things as quickly on ubuntu [15:02] nikitis: grep [15:02] nell_b Do what without booting the live cd.. [15:02] nell_b you need to have some os working [15:02] hi [15:02] jack_sparrow, roger that, sec [15:03] azcazandc1, what address [15:03] Are the ATI proprietary drivers required for dual head? or will the ubuntu drivers work?

Jack_Sparrow, Okay, thanks, sorry about that. [15:11] jack_sparrow, okay sdd5 [15:11] Hi guys. How can I tell if Ubuntu is actually using the graphics hardware, and not software rendering? Does Ubuntu even do software rendering? [15:11] JuJuBee: i have radeon 9600 and got dual head going using the 3 commands on this page. http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124634 [15:11] nell_b You will need to work on how to change the grub command line to suit your setup, but yes that is the basic concept [15:12] Lachlan: glxinfo | grep direct [15:12] erUSUL: I see, so direct rendering means that it's using the graphics hardware? Is this the "DRI" option in xorg.conf? [15:12] Lachlan: yep [15:13] nell_b So where it shows root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=6c6e7857-4174-48b3-8711-463352173b5f ro quiet splash you would change the root hd and the uuid [15:13] So is it possible to tell which driver it's currently using? I'm having a problem with dual screen output. I can extend the desktop to both screens, but it's laggy as hell, so I suspect it's not using the graphics hardware, or the right driver.

[15:48] Jack_Sparrow: its ext3 [15:48] thank you Odd-rationale [15:48] blivori pastebin your fdisk -l [15:48] Jack_Sparrow: the other one is a Linux Swap partition which was autocreated by ubuntu [15:48] Odd-rationale: there is no 127.0.1.1 line? [15:49] Shadow6363: don't forget to include your host name at the end [15:49] Jack_Sparrow: nothing shows [15:49] Shadow6363: well, not for me... [15:49] sudo [15:49] alright, thanks [15:49] blivori, I haven't used a livecd in a longtime. maybe they automount your partitions and you need to umount them in order to resize them. what does gparted say when you try to perform a resie? [15:49] Shadow6363: are you using dhcp or static? [15:49] jack_sparrow? Any clues? It says root (hd3,4), but clearly that doesn't work [15:49] nell_b I cant help you with that.. [15:50] fbc: i can't perform a resize [15:50] jack_sparrow: do I just play with the numbers until it boots? :P [15:50] nell_b which partition are you trying to boot [15:50] fbc: the increase or decrease option stays grey [15:50] Odd-rationale: dhcp [15:50] blivori, you mean the option is greyed out and your never able to even select the option? [15:50] jack_sparrow: fdisk called it 'sdd5' [15:50] blivori, ok... [15:50] Shadow6363: ok fine. [15:50] Odd-rationale: stays the same? [15:50] fbc: its unclickable is what I mean [15:51] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/d4b66c26f [15:51] blivori: but you have empty space there right? [15:51] Shadow6363: no, for static it is different... [15:51] hi, how to disable the visual effects or make it minimum : i'am running ubuntu on an old computer ? [15:51] mgolisch: yes about 100GB [15:51] Odd-rationale: sorry, I meant it stays the same for me since im using dhcp [15:51] blivori, hmm... I'm at a loss then.. pretty strange.. [15:51] nell_b 3,4 is right for d5 [15:51] fbc: beats me .) [15:51] When using apt-get and aptitude, it says before installing that my sources are untrusted, how do I fix that? [15:51] Shadow6363: yes! [15:51] arakthor: trust them [15:52] i would like to install the atlantik (linux monopoly game), how would i go about doing so? [15:52] ross_: use adept or synaptic [15:52] blivori: so what trust http://blahblah :p ? [15:52] blivori delete your swap and the extended and try again [15:52] ross_: Applications > add/remove [15:52] Hermanon, go to appearances visual effects and set to none [15:52] Jack_Sparrow: I can't delete the exteneded [15:52] mhm.. doesn't work.. I'm going to call it a day [15:52] how is life [15:52] magnetron: thanks - nice and easy : ) [15:52] Jack_Sparrow: I would lose all my files/settings/kubuntu [15:52] how is life [15:52] arakthor, yeah, if you can't tust your source what kinda relationship do you really have? :-p [15:52] wes chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:53] Jack_Sparrow: not to mention all my software [15:53] ross_, sudo apt-get install atlantik [15:53] blivori You only seem to have a swap in extended... why would you lose things [15:53] fbc: a fun fling [15:54] ross_ well either one, synaptic or terminal or whatever is easy for you :) [15:54] arakthor, I've gotten that message too and it just means you've added a source that has not gpg(pgp) key to authenticate it... [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: I only have 2 partitions. The 140somethingGB one has K/ubuntu installed and has all my files/setting/software whilst the 1.4somethingGB one is a Linux Swap. Other than that I have no other partitions [15:54] doesn't work [15:54] both of them won't work [15:54] it keeps saying E: is unlock or something [15:54] Aragorn, you might have added the source to WINE and forgot to add the authentication key that goes with it... [15:54] ross_: open up firefox, go to the search box,click Ubuntu package search and search for atlantik [15:54] how do I get the package descriptions that appear in synaptic via command-line [15:54] ?

[16:29] Jeruvy: gksudo nautilus, or sudo rm -rf $file [16:30] ikonia: its a folder in trash? whats the path? [16:30] ikonia: it must be a problem of gnome-panel [16:30] icqnumber: you could make a forum post or an answers post in launhpad.net [16:30] icqnumber: it's not a problem [16:30] icqnumber: it's a "setting" [16:30] Jeruvy: how can you have a file you have no permission to in trash ?

When i go to hardware drivers theres only one "nvidia_new" and thats disabled [16:33] !envy | dj-ock [16:33] dj-ock: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. === tim__b_ is now known as tim__b [16:33] blivori, how's it coming along?

[16:34] icqnumber: numerous people have already confirmed they do not have this [16:34] Jeruvy: you've been told it [16:34] yes, it was enabled by default but next to it still said "not in use" altough the enabled check box was checked. The max res I can use is 800x600 so I'm pretty sure there not enabled. [16:34] Jeruvy: in your home dir [16:34] ikonia: it was wrong [16:34] can any one tel me whether we can use Autocad 8 in ubuntu??? [16:35] blivori, I use the torrent, I find that works out faster for me... once you load it up, you may need to open a terminal and type 'umount /dev/sda' if it mounts the volume automatically...

[16:36] just tryed before coming on here, no dice :( [16:36] magnetron: yes [16:36] matthew_, when you get it enabled you'll be prompted to reboot [16:36] Jeruvy: /home/jeruvy/.local/share/Trash [16:36] matthew_: what happens when you try to enable it ? [16:36] ~/.Trash works, thanks whoever posted that! [16:36] Jeruvy: Google may be able to help you, cuz I sure can't! [16:36] is there a firewall on ubuntu ? [16:37] Jeruvy, it's a hidden file [16:37] jessica__: nothing is enabled by default [16:37] matthew_, it should work with your card [16:37] yup i got the prompt, but when i rebooted it was just the same, still said "not in use" altough the enabled box was checked. [16:37] jessica__: Try firestarter [16:37] when i use the live cd, and install it onto my desktop, the max resolution availible is 800x600. this is not right, i have an nvidia 7600.. so i need a way to change the resolution manually. [16:37] ok thanks [16:37] matthew_: ok, you've not done anything like try to install the drivers from nvidia.com or use envy yes/no ? [16:37] looking to mount an ftp site, any suggestions? [16:37] dose firestarter have a GUI [16:37] ARKANIAD: go to system, preferences and screen resolution [16:37] jessica__: it is a gui [16:37] jessica:yes it does [16:37] ah right [16:37] thanks [16:38] matthew_: you think i havent tried that? [16:38] ikonia: ok, thank you, i have also asked developers in nautilus channel about that, they told me to file a gnome-panel bug, but i will probaply start with a question [16:38] hello [16:38] how can i change the default python version? [16:38] ikonia, agreed, matthew may have to purge nvidia [16:38] the setup wizard for firestarter sucks though.,...I'd skip it. [16:38] matthew_: ok - so the first thing to do is look if the nvidia module is loaded [16:38] ARKANIAD: Maybe your having the same problem as me then ? [16:38] matthew_: not to be rude. [16:38] matthew_: please show me the output of "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" [16:38] Jeruvy, try gksudo nautilus [16:38] Jeruvy, then [16:38] hello, I want to install ubuntu base system on 486DX2 with 16mb of ram. but ubuntu installer needs mini. 32mb or 24 mb for the least. I know its possible to install but can someone help me out here [16:38] Jeruvy, navigate to the folder [16:39] ikonia, well, i turned on the lan card in my bios, still not working, then switched off my wifi card and tried to connect thru wired, lost network connection...so lan card is bad [16:39] kleedrac_work: a 2.6 kernel needs 26 meg of ram to run [16:39] k1duga1: a dx2 is also too slow to run it [16:39] flyinggreg, got another card to pop in? [16:39] matthew_: lol. im not even using ubuntu right now, lol. i dont even have it installed, i gave up ATM. [16:39] Jeruvy, you will be able to delete the files in /home/jeruvy/.local/share/Trash [16:39] flyinggreg: it would look that way [16:39] ikonia: I don't recall saying it didn't? [16:39] Taking questions.

[16:40] matthew_: so if there is not output from lsmod - then the nvidia module is not loaded, hence the problem [16:40] k1duga1: insert boot floppy, and fformat away. or use parted or cfdisk on the live cd [16:41] matthew_: so try doing "sudo modprobe nvidia" [16:41] Hello people , i am trying to install LAMP on my ubuntu, but then when i change the /var/www/index.html to .php, its not parsed as php (it prompts for download) [16:41] LordAnubis: install the php5 package [16:41] ikonia: nice.

[17:07] extract and run the script [17:07] done [17:07] hey all, how can enable ldap users to have admin/sudo permissions? [17:08] mmartinn: are you using a 32bit distro [17:08] lau_: now run this "sudo whoami". It should write out "root" [17:08] yea [17:08] lau_: did you have to enter your password? [17:08] it does [17:08] Yes, I used a default install disk, so I'd assume so (I'm coming from Gentoo and Debian). [17:08] when sudo whoami ? [17:08] lau_: yes [17:08] no it didnt [17:09] mmartinn: are you using ubuntu or debian [17:09] lau_: that's because you had already used sudo ... just recently [17:09] mmartinn: I assume ubuntu due to "hardy herron" [17:09] ikonia: Now, I'm using Ubuntu. [17:09] Ok [17:09] mmartinn: please show me "uname -a" [17:09] ikonia: My previous OSes were Gentoo and Debian [17:09] lau_: is that what you meant by "sudo not working"? [17:09] Linux adm-martins 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [17:09] Yea [17:09] arkaniad: now what? [17:09] It's Hardy. [17:09] mmartinn: ok, so it's 32bit, so your probably suffering due to 4GB being the 32bit limit [17:09] snoopcatxl: you have it unextracted? [17:09] mmartinn: I assume the bios can see the additional ram ok [17:10] mmartinn: what are you doing to check the ram in ubuntu ? [17:10] ikonia: I would think I'd still get at least 3GB... yes the bios can. As can many of my LiveCDs. [17:10] i just clicked on agree and install now [17:10] lau_: so then sudo worked.. you were just expecting it to prompt you for the password.. which it didn't =) [17:10] ikonia: using "/usr/bin/free" [17:10] mmartinn: what does it show ? [17:10] mmartinn: 2053660 ? [17:10] ikonia: 2 gigs, instead of 4gb :) [17:10] I just installed Ubuntu =] [17:10] ikonia: 2075360 [17:10] mmartinn: close enough [17:11] Thanks for your help [17:11] lau_: no worries.. everyone has to learn this stuff in the beginning [17:11] snoopcatxl: you got it unextracted? now run the install script or something its called. then your done. [17:11] lau_: you're welcome [17:11] how do i do that? [17:11] ikonia: I switched away from Gentoo so I wouldn't have to rebuild stuff all the time, and I'm concerned the only way I'm going to fix this is by rebuilding the kernel with the PAE extensions enabled. [17:11] hey all, how can enable ldap users to have admin/sudo permissions? Or even better, how can I set a ldap group that has permissions to do admin/sudo/etc. ? [17:11] mmartinn: you shouldn't need to [17:11] snoopcatcl: if its unextracted go into the folder and double click on the sctipt. [17:11] ok [17:11] mmartinn: sir have you tried free mem command to check your ram usage [17:11] ubt2: there's a config file for sudo.. it lists what users can do and cannot do with sudo [17:11] ikonia: I figure I should at least see 3gb. [17:11] mmartinn: I don't have a 32bit box to hand to check the kernel on it though [17:12] mmartinn: I would expect that also - at least [17:12] it like...made something else.. [17:12] hey!i instaled banto on my friends lapto with wubi install thou it don't see his hard drive.how can i fix it? [17:12] it says libeflashplayer [17:12] libflashplayer* [17:12] poopuser: I've asked you numerous times to call it "ubuntu" - its called "ubuntu" not "banto" [17:12] snoopcatxl: what does the icon look like? [17:12] ikonia: Do you remember where in /proc I can cat the running config options for the kernel? [17:12] Slart: is that what gnome uses for policykit to "unlock" and have admin rights? [17:12] ok mom [17:12] Why use PAE? Just get AMD64 and quit hacking your way around the RAM wall [17:13] poopuser: banto? grow up. [17:13] IA32-libs if you need Wine or 32-bit support [17:13] can i send you a screen hot soemhow? [17:13] ok dad [17:13] i use this command rsync --recursive --size-only --delete --progress /mnt/win_d /media/mybook/ but it doesn't delete [17:13] ubt2: oh.. I don't really know.. I haven't looked at the policykit and how it works yet [17:13] mmartinn: be with you in 2 seconds [17:13] poopuser: you chilidish user. shame on the ubuntu for letting you use it. [17:13] ubt2: but it affects sudo and gksudo .. [17:13] ARKANIAD: don't feed it [17:13] snoopcatxl: pm me and ill give you my email [17:13] yea so I don't have any bash colors anymore, can somebody copy me their color section of .bashrc ?????

[17:14] jack_sparrow, it's working! My floppy is booting... oh this is so divine [17:14] poopuser: dude its ubuntu [17:15] tv7497: cat /proc/meminfo [17:15] mmartinn: does /procmeminfo give you anything different to free [17:15] tv7497: /proc/meminfo, free, etc [17:15] neil_b: behold linux's beauty. [17:15] They're all identical :) [17:15] And all too low. [17:15] Myrtti: wont this work free mem [17:15] ARKANIAD, linux isn't exactly new to me, it's just that I hadn't managed, until now, to get a working ubuntu install that would boot off a floppy :P [17:16] leil_b: :D [17:16] neil_b: :D* [17:16] Myrtti: i meant the command " free mem" [17:17] tv7497: just "free" [17:17] I have a dual core machine.

I'm looking for /usr/src/linux/.config... I thought /proc had a runtime version of it. [17:18] ikonia: I'm only trying to find out why the generic kernel won't support PAE. [17:18] mmartinn: ooh /proc/config.gz [17:18] hey everyone. I know I've been in here alot this past week looking for help with setting up my computers. I would like to thank all you guys for helping me. Yet again I am in here asking the wonderful ubuntu community for their help. I am trying to make a script that will modprobe -r ath_pci when I place my computer to sleep. The problem is how to I give it root privilege? [17:18] ikonia: Or what options it had. [17:18] mw-home: or install htop and run it.. there are two cpu bars at the top [17:19] Does PHP suck? [17:19] FReeZ: do you have a serious question? [17:19] FReeZ: nothing to do with ubuntu [17:19] mmartinn: /proc/config.gz is your friend [17:19] ikonia: Unlike other distros, /proc/config.gz isn't on Hardy.

Try #ubuntu-offtopic [17:20] h2d: quit fooling with the bot [17:20] FReeZ: don't take polls in the channel.. [17:20] ikonia: Anyway, there's clearly a bug report for PAE and HIMEM not being turned on in the Edgy kernel, that I've found, but I don't see anything about problems with it in Hardy.

That's so easy to tell me, isn't that? [17:21] mmartinn: I'd be shocked if it wasn't enabled in hardy [17:21] FReeZ: join #php and "discuss" it [17:21] http://216.245.195.34/~anoref/?id=15300 plz have a look [17:21] http://216.245.195.34/~anoref/?id=15300 plz have a look [17:21] http://216.245.195.34/~anoref/?id=15300 plz have a look [17:21] ARKANIAD, that would still ask for my password.

[18:08] ah k [18:08] vscott How did you install it [18:08] what must I do to use the same ubuntu laptop on both home and work networks? so far, I entered both home and work dns server IP addresses in /etc/resolv.conf, which didn't work as I expected (at all) [18:09] vscott 32 or 54 bit system [18:09] still trying to figure out pastebin [18:09] !paste [18:09] 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) [18:09] So anyone have a clue why suddenly WoW is like unusably slow when lastnight I could play fine? [18:09] shank1rb: Sure, pop in your vista DVD and install. If you want to dualboot, you're better off resizing the Linux partition first [18:09] Kartagis: do you have DHCP at both places? [18:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16627/ [18:09] above is my pastebin paste :) [18:09] cheers guys [18:09] darrend> yes [18:09] Kartagis: if so, that should take care of your resolv.conf automatically [18:10] Hey, any reason why flash video would stop playing in firfov? Running Hardy. [18:10] everything in xubuntu works great, one error on startup said 2000 cutoff bios is 1999. i looked for a bios upgrade but its not available. im on a ibm laptop that is a T20 version. i see bugs about shutdown and restart issues that are STILL OPEN . now i got the latest version of xubuntu 8.04 and it still dont work right. cant restart or shutdown. WTF?: [18:10] guys, can anyone help me with choosing an ubuntu-friendly smartphone/pda? [18:10] Flannel: dont have a vista cd. the vista computer didnt come with it! ; / [18:10] darrend> which means the problem is not with my resolv.conf? [18:10] Jack: i am using 32 bit, and i used synaptic to install [18:10] shank1rb, if you have nothing to install vista from, you can't reinstall vista [18:11] shank1rb, is it on one of the partitions on your computer? [18:11] Kartagis: well it could be if you're not getting default behaviour. What actually is your problem? [18:11] Hey, any reason why flash video would stop playing in firfov? Running Hardy. [18:11] ailean, nope [18:11] i have a pcmcia wireless card that i bet was causing the issue for shutdown and restart. but that fix didnt work either. [18:11] test [18:11] ailean, i think i installed over it... [18:11] shank1rb, maybe you can call your hardware manufacturer for another copy [18:11] shank1rb, if you installed over it and don't have a backup, then you can't recover. [18:11] nickolaus: the flash plugin sometimes just crashes on my install.. don't know if that's what you mean though [18:11] darrend> I can't resolve any IP address [18:11] shank1rb: You'll have to get some installation media from your computer mfc. Most you can buy a reinstall disk from [18:12] Kartagis: using hardy? [18:12] shank1rb, always always always backup your data [18:12] darrend> yes [18:12] welp ill just tell my customer that they will have to buy windows then if no one knows anything [18:12] ailean Mfg are required to give you a real copy .. if you press them on it.. for some.. they charge a fee or in the fine print it is an extra [18:12] so, ubuntu recognises my wireless card (http://paste.ubuntu.com/16627/) - belkinf5d7000 and detects the network. However, when i input the network settings it tries to connect, fails and loses all that i've input without connecting [18:12] i cant hand back a laptop that cant turn off properly [18:12] Yeah, it seems to not be working across the board. [18:12] i am using 32 bit and i installed java through synaptic [18:12] keri, you're not being very fair. give people a min to answer [18:12] keri DOnt be rude [18:12] ailean, o man. Since i have a product key, is it possible to download vista online? [18:12] Kartagis: does your resolv.conf have comments in it about being modified by NetworkManager ? [18:13] \nick Boidulait [18:13] !patience | keri [18:13] shank1rb, not as far as i know. we don't tend to use it in here :) [18:13] keri: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:13] shank1rb, maybe better going to a windows channel [18:13] darrend> I just checked, and yes. it must be what you said === Colboss is now known as Boidulait [18:13] Ill be back [18:13] are there any specialist network/wireless rooms? i find the pace of this one a little fast [18:13] Jack I have 32 bit version and i downloaded java via synaptic [18:13] ailean, can u reccomend me a channel? [18:13] hi, i'm using the 64-bit version of ubuntu 8.04. after installing the 2.6.24-17 kernel it does not show up in grub's boot menu. even running /sbin/update-grub does not help. it finds the kernel image but fails to update menu.lst: http://rafb.net/p/BbrLvK46.html [18:13] shank1rb: ##windows might be a good place to ask [18:13] does anyone know how to solve this? [18:13] brb, dinner [18:14] shank1rb, see Flannel's comment [18:14] Kartagis: does the 'search' domain look right for your current location?

[18:15] I am new to programming and trying to get my foot in the door. [18:15] [18:15] I am not sure which IDE to use for the languages I want to write in. [18:15] [18:15] What IDE would you recommend to use in the Kubuntu environment for Java, Perl, PHP, Python and C, C++? [18:15] rickf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:08] join #arora [19:08] pha|con: i dont think hotmail and Y!mail do that's why i was advised to use those [19:08] oops sorry [19:08] I've just bought a Dell XPS m1330 and installed Ubuntu on it and everything seems to work great. I'm wondering how I use the Fingerprint reader. The Ubuntu wiki says it works but I'm not sure how to use it. === propeller is now known as jbache2 [19:09] benny269 i can't advise what to use for hotmail or yahoo since i use neither, but IMAP is the way to go w/ thunderbird [19:09] hi, does anyone have experience using ekiga through oss4 on hardy? [19:10] my main goal is to have 1 simple email client that bring google, yahoo and hot- mail together, i want to leave all the email on its respective server but have it reflect what i do within the client i.e. change messages to read when i open them, delete them when i do etc. So am i doing this right? [19:10] darrend> my /etc/resolv.conf has no 'search' line [19:10] Jack_Sparrow wheres the pastebin [19:10] ?/ [19:10] benny269 you could forward your yahoo and hotmail to gmail and then set up gmail on thunderbird using IMAP [19:11] !paste [19:11] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[19:11] hey mdalek [19:12] darrend> at home yes. and I do have a DHCP server [19:12] hi [19:12] pha|con: Last time I checked you couldn't forward from hotmail, only to it. nasty indeed. [19:12] Ienorand: welcome to m$ sales techniques [19:12] pha|con: hmm but even if i setup that as imap they'll still be in the original accounts also right? plus do the sender details get changed? [19:12] stemount^: indeed... [19:12] Kartagis: can you pastebin the whole resolv.conf, including comments? [19:12] Ienorand wow, that's ridiculous [19:12] is there an updated deb for firefox, beta 3 is too unstable for me [19:12] marlun, have u tried searching synaptic for finger print reader [19:12] benny269 details stay the same (or they should not change) [19:13] mdelek:see add/remove in applications [19:13] Jack_Sparrow http://paste.ubuntu.com/16637/ [19:13] I'm curious about the current kernel packages in hardy, specifically that there's been a linux, lum, lrm upload without the usual accompanying linux-meta upload. Anyone got any pointers? [19:13] benny269 you'll know who sent them and they will stay in their original accounts, but as Ienorand said apparently hotmail doesn't forward mail out [19:13] * dj-ock Bad Apples - Use Your Illusion I - Guns 'N' Roses [19:13] Kartagis: can you also run "sudo ps -ef | grep dhclient" and confirm that a dhclient process is running? [19:13] Jack_Sparrow: if necessary, can you forward it BACK to the original account? with original sending details intact?

[19:14] hi there [19:14] harpreet_ Put ## in front of line 58 and 60.. you are asking for trouble using debian repos. [19:14] jack_sparrow: there is no quiet or splash when i press f6? [19:14] pha|con: so is there no way around it for hotmail? [19:14] benny269 why would you want to forward it back to the account of origin? it'll still be there anyway [19:14] mdalek:get it in synaptic just serach firefox you will find firefox 2 package [19:15] pha|con: oh, i thought you forwarded the message itself, not a copy [19:15] yes i see firefox 2 [19:15] XSSammy From livecd.. at start / install F6 lets you edit the command line [19:15] i need your help. i have installed a debian guest under gutsy vmware host. the clock runs way too slow __ i do not want to install vmware tools. has anyone solved this issue with kernel boot options and which ones ? i have tried some combinations but it does not work. please help !

Thanks for your patience. [19:15] benny269 it's a copy. if there is no way to forward hotmail and it doesn't have POP or IMAP access, frankly, i'd just stop using hotmail [19:15] i see [19:15] benny269: the only thing I can say about hotmail is that the webmail extension works reasonably well, it's rare that you can't get the mail, however it happens, like two times a month or something... [19:16] harpreet_ Once you do that sudo apt-get update [19:16] i thought that hotmail will hook you up with pop if you pay for hotmail [19:16] *poke* still no takers for my GDM problem??

[19:16] harpreet_ If you dont know how to edit that file gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:16] jack_sparrow: usually it does but because i have to run it in noo graphics mode there isn't the usual command there just the boot: prompt [19:17] pha|con: unfortunately i can't do that easily, its my oldest and most used account [19:17] I have a program complaining about missing libqt3 library files, but it wants old ones. So I grabbed the appropriate arch. files and put them in the application directory. Is there a way to make the executable use those library files instead of searching through usr/lib/ and so forth?

[19:17] i wish my network manager in gnome worked fine [19:17] why? because you added to many important clients and have to. [19:17] benny269 does hotmail allow you to set an away message?

I thought it was since I always have the same ip. But it must've been set at the router. I'm also having a hard time finding a config dialog for network settings in KDE 4.0.

Is there a way to get Ubuntu's grub onto the MBR instead of being only on its partition? [19:47] benny269: that no. should be changed to the one you use for you account eg 1030 [19:48] lmosher:first enable backports in software sources [19:48] bluk: /var/log/"anylog" [19:48] superkuh: well... mount just tells me whats mounted atm or? [19:48] Ienorand: yep i've done that [19:48] malsyned: install GRUB to the MBR with grub-install [19:48] Ienorand: so server name: localhost, port: 1030 [19:48] soulhacker, Ah ok let me take a look. What's the difference, btw? [19:48] mlr thanks, but the information here is too vague, i'd need some kind of backtrace [19:48] tyberion: Ah, yeah, you're right.

[20:20] !ask | KaKoRoT [20:20] KaKoRoT: 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. :-) [20:21] Lynet, 3 GB === eldalion is now known as eldawlion [20:21] soulhacker: i installed many crapy socware [20:21] fair enough [20:21] i'll just sit here like a nob and be ignored then? [20:21] pha|con: stop trolling. Been using Linux for a desktop now for over a decade, I'm just irritated that my OOM incidence rate in the last months has risen so much. The OOM killer is clearly not a friend that one wants to see often ;) [20:21] Ienorand: i tried that but it says Unhandled MIME type when i try to open it [20:21] hello all [20:21] hi all! I am running Ubuntu 7.10 and have vmware Version: 1.0.4-1gutsy2 installed. Its running and I could install win2k on a virtual harddisk. When I try to install ubuntu on a second virtual hard disk, its crashing when initializing the kernel or shortly before/after what can I do? [20:21] soulhacker: do u have a proxy server? [20:22] m_newton:try wget http:www.ubuntu.com and tell me it happens or not?? [20:22] lmosher: I'd say go with the 64bit version. There is some 32bit binary only software out there that can be a bit tricky to get running but on the whole I'd recommend 64bit. [20:22] :-D [20:22] yacc: i didn't have any problems running the commands just high cpu usage and a few kill -9 cured it [20:22] benny269: that's annoying, the pdf reader should get it. [20:22] Lynet, Hrm, what are examples of things that won't run? [20:22] m_newton:yup i am behind my collge proxy server why do u want 2 installl a proxy server if u have direct connection [20:23] yacc my apologies. wasn't trolling out of malice, just the first thing that popped into my head :) [20:23] yacc: but i have /etc/security/limits.conf configured to have a limit on process ;P [20:23] soulhacker: so when i am at school, i can connect to my computer through port 80 with ssh! [20:23] soulhacker: here is what i get [20:23] erUSUL, if you add a few {0..9} doesn't crash neither? [20:23] i think my /etc/apt/sources.list got changed by a repository add... is there a way to set it back to defaults without losing anything in my home folder? [20:24] erUSUL: How do you set the limits? [20:24] lmosher: I've never run into a situation where things won't run, but you some times need to install 32bit compat libraries (orin the case of some firefox plugins, use a wrapper). [20:24] soulhacker: --14:22:40-- ftp://http/www.ubuntu.com => `www.ubuntu.com' Resolving http... failed: Name or service not known. [20:24] bluk: no [20:24] erUSUL: I mean what limits do you use *g* [20:24] benny269: could you try to restart thunderbird, and then check the webmail-hotmail add-on perfs to see if it's found the account? [20:24] lsolesen:sorry cant make out anything useful but if it works i dont think it should matter [20:24] erUSUL: I know how to set limits, but which should one use and still have a useable box? [20:24] Lynet, Hrm ok, it shouldn't be impossible to figure out then. Thanks :0o [20:24] m_newton are you trying to connect to your pc to browse at school via your net connection? [20:25] soulhacker: why does it connect to ftp, that port 21 not even open [20:25] yacc: ui have a line "* hard nproc 2000" ( a limit of 2000 processes for all users) [20:25] Which backup tool would you recommend?? [20:25] m_newton:hi i said http://www.ubuntu.com [20:25] yacc: that would suffice [20:25] !backup | tomoyuki28jp [20:25] tomoyuki28jp: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:25] tomoyuki28jp, tar [20:25] i think my /etc/apt/sources.list got changed by a repository add... is there a way to set it back to defaults without losing anything in my home folder? [20:25] erUSUL: And how does solve a problem with the echo? [20:25] paypal 10 bucks if someone can offer me a solution [20:25] erUSUL: that's a case of bash using up the memory internally trying to compute the argument list of echo. [20:25] soulhacker: on a browser http://www.ubuntu.com/ it works on terminal i get error [20:25] joanki2: changing your sources lists shouldn't affect your home folder at all [20:25] lmosher: And besides, we are going to have to move to 64bit anyway pretty soon (4GB+) so getting those few issues discovered and fixed now means that we don't have to deal with them when we *have* to move to 64bit. [20:26] I'm trying to add Sabayon to my GRUB list [20:26] hmmm is there a way to install xubuntu over network? [20:26] Ienorand: i've fixed hotmail, it needed the full address under username ALSO [20:26] soulhacker: it does not work at home :) [20:26] m_newton:do echo $http_proxy [20:26] Yet another upgrade question: I upgraded from G to H using the alternate CD burned from dloaded iso. All been roughly good except most of the functions on the menu that require su seem not to work. E.g. update manager or synaptec from menu = delay then quit. However, if i run them using su in a shell they work no problem; e.g. /usr/bin/update-manager. Any ideas? [20:26] Slart, any hints on how i can do that, sorry new to this [20:26] soulhacker: it trys to join ftp [20:26] Ienorand: yahoo doesn't work though, although the accoutn was found [20:26] I want to build a HTPC with mythbuntu. Anyone know where I could get an IR reciever for cheap? [20:26] I'm trying to add Sabayon to my GRUB list [20:26] joanki2: have you added a lot of repos manually? [20:26] tushyd:off-topic [20:26] i added one [20:26] a program called anki [20:26] yacc: running the command, this is the most memory intensive thing I have ever done [20:27] Hi all! [20:27] and that's about when it all stopped working for me [20:27] hi. i'm a little confused hoe to get grub to work. on boot the linux part is called (hd0,1) but when the os is running it has changed to (hd1,1). regardless which one i setup, it doesn't seem to work...any ideas? [20:27] soulhacker: ahhh http://localhost:4001 [20:27] pastebin [20:27] hmmm [20:27] i'm trying to install build-essentials and there's a big problem [20:27] anyone will say a thing? [20:27] lol [20:27] I'm trying to add Sabayon to my GRUB list [20:27] Anyone know where xchat keeps its conversation logs? [20:27] yacc: you can set up a memory limit too; man limits.conf [20:27] yacc: it crashed. I think it went outside the 32bit address space? [20:27] joanki2: ok.. try backing up the old list first "sudo mv /etc/apt/source.list ~/old.source.list".. then go to the system menu, administration, software sources and select a server and so on [20:28] m_newton:now thats the problem do export http_proxy="" [20:28] danbhfive: Well, I had some ugly cases where e.g. f-spot.exe did faulty reads. => the moment some program desides to call read with GB lengths, you are dead :( [20:28] anyone for my vmware problem? [20:28] xerdes, i would check in ~/.xchat2/ first [20:28] my wine apps wont stick sometimes to the notification area, it just floats how do i stick it there [20:28] benny269: good, unfortunately I don't know about yahoo... [20:28] danbhfive: how much RAM do you have? [20:28] pha|con: nope,i am setting up a server so i can connect to my commputer from school [20:28] joanki2: sorry.. my bad "sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list ~/old.sources.list".. then go to the system menu, administration, software sources and select a server and so on [20:28] bderrly : thx [20:28] joanki2: forgot the 's' on the end there [20:28] benny269: In what way does it not work [20:28] hello? [20:28] since yesterday's update, when I type special spanish characters (accents) I get gibberish in most programs. Any idea how to fix it? (I use KDE 3.5.9) [20:28] yacc: 2g, with 2g swap. The command chewed through the 2g and 1g swap, then it through an error [20:28] soulhacker: done, what did that do? [20:29] Ienorand: what settings should i use so that emails on the server are only marked as read when i open them and deleted only when i delete them from the client? hold on let me just fiddle with it a little [20:29] well I have asked this already once today with no luck but I am going to ask one more time as someone new might have a idea on how to it. Ok lets say that I have multi users on this pc ubuntu 8 and I was wondering is there away to limit there ability to d/l anything with out a password, I mean let them on the net but no d/l of any kind. thats it [20:29] benny269: and sorry about that thing, I should have said username and @*** . [20:29] m_newton:now unset the proxy server u set do echo again to confirm now try apt-get [20:29] danbhfive: that was quick, my laptop chewed for hours before I rebooted. 2GB RAM too, but encrypted hdd? *scratch-head* [20:29] hi here [20:29] ledmushroom: look into firefox kiosk mode [20:29] benny269: There should be settings like that in the acount settings an in the webamil-hotmail preferences... [20:30] i extracted the ubuntu iso and ran the windows based installer to install to my backup drive, i can select to boot to ubuntu but it doesn't go past the ubuntu load screen, just keeps trying to access my floppy drive why is this? and what can I do to fix it? [20:30] someone had already try multi-seat with more than 2 layout ? [20:30] Slart, i'm in Software Sources and dont know where to go now [20:30] ledmushroom: probably with iptables you can do that.. however you might get a better answer on how to set it up in #ubuntu-server since server is often times used as a router. [20:30] Inferno: try to load it in text mode [20:30] yacc: maybe you could triage it or something. I really don't know, I'm still new to linux in that/this regard [20:30] Inferno: it might give you more helpful error messages [20:30] does anyone get nautilus sucking up their memory/cpu sometimes ? [20:31] btw, hey gordonjcp :) [20:31] joanki2: enable the main, universe, restricted and multiverse repos [20:31] joanki2: you are running hardy, right? [20:31] ok im fully new at this what is the command to load in text mode? [20:31] gutsy [20:31] hello, can someone tell me if xubuntu comes with OpenOffice? [20:31] thehurley: if not, you can surely install it [20:31] ok i'm downloading something [20:31] let's see what happens [20:31] joanki2: hmm.. then my screen looks a bit different compared to yours.. do you see anything called main there? [20:32] yes [20:32] i got it [20:32] i'm done with all that [20:32] should it work now? [20:32] someone know how to affect a physical address to a keyboard in xorg.conf (like graphic card and their BusID) ? it's possible ? [20:32] joanki2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:32] orkid i could, but the laptop i'm setting up is very old and doesn't have a network card [20:32] joanki2: ah.. yes.. then it should work [20:32] since yesterday's update, when I type special spanish characters (accents) I get gibberish (squares) in most programs. Any idea how to fix it? (I use KDE 3.5.9) [20:32] Ienorand: it says an error occurred with the POP3 mail server, Mail server localhost responded: [20:32] joanki2: this little program is actually a front end for that file we moved earlier [20:32] thats interesting -- I use a dvorak keyboard, but in a terminal, C-c/C-r/anything doesnt work right, instead, I need to find C-r(p) or C-c(j) from a qwerty layout. incomplete changeover?!? [20:32] #ubuntu+1 [20:32] orkid, so i'd like to get a CD with open office and has a lightweight interface [20:32] i would seriously like some help please [20:32] hey anyone how do i update through apt command line i have done an apt-get update so I have them, how do i perform the update though?

[20:33] dubby: even better: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [20:33] Ienorand: yes [20:33] joanki2: hmm.. you enabled all the repos in the software sources thingy, right? [20:33] I have installed GNS3 and want control them [20:33] RUMMY, cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:33] soulhacker: done now how to set up a encrypted proxy server [20:34] is there a checkpoint vpn client that works w/ linuix ? [20:34] KaKoRoT, I already can help-- i have telepathy, and know the answer to your problem already. [20:34] Are there any settings in the webmail-yahoo perfs? [20:34] yes [20:34] m_newton:explain me your purpose and what exactly you want to do [20:34] benny269: *prefs [20:34] or which widget to istall? [20:34] joanki2: hmm.. can you pastebin the file /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[20:35] if you install ubuntu via wubi, what happens to the hard drive you install it on? [20:35] thehurley: oh.. i don't know [20:35] how can i delete the files from a game? [20:35] Ienorand: nothing that could be wrong or need changing === GadgetMan is now known as Gadgetz [20:35] just installed 8.04 and a MSI CB54G2 wirless PCMCIA card, but the wireless does not connect, i have tried Open, WEP and WPA, any clues? [20:35] tesseracter_: have you upgraded yet? There was a security flaw in version telepathy 0.9 [20:36] soulhacker: In my school, they have blocked ssh port 22, i want to run a encrypted proxy server so i can bypass the thing and connect to my computer. [20:36] joanki2: and if you run "sudo apt-get update" you get no errors, right? [20:36] no one having nautilus eat up their resources ? :) [20:36] wth [20:36] m_newton:and your computer is in your home [20:36] benny269: Hmm, is the yahoo account also using the above-1024 port ? [20:36] soulhacker: Then use irssi or update my web server [20:36] soulhacker: Yup [20:36] orkid: not lately.. but I'm sure there will be an update soon so we all can enjoy it ;) [20:36] Ienorand: yep 2500 [20:37] hey anybody want`s to help me? [20:37] Slart, i didn't update before trying to install... that couoldd be the problem [20:37] joanki2: ah.. that's probably it [20:37] joanki2: I thought the software sources thing did that for you.. well well [20:37] KaKoRoT: do you know which chipset this card uses? [20:37] m_newton: So why not change the port that SSH listens on? [20:37] m_newton:dey have blocked 22 not 80 right so on your home computer run ssh on the port 80 do sshd -p 80 [20:38] Grim76__: what do you mean? [20:38] Slart, do i want to check the box that says "source code"? and also, do i want to check both of the boxes under Third Party Softwre? [20:38] soundray, i wrote telepathy 1.0. actually, I implanted it in the programmers mind === Gadgetz is now known as GadgetMan_ [20:38] m_newton:connect to it using ssh user@comp -p 80 [20:38] Slart: ? [20:38] oh, than what is a proxy server for? [20:38] soundray, mind control is in the dev version [20:38] joanki2: source isn't really necessary but it isn't really harmful either.. you can enable it.. what are the repos under 3rd party software? do they have names? [20:39] benny269: okay... but I think you'll have to use the same port as for the hotmail account, since the POP server in webmail only uses one port. [20:39] is pulseaudio better to use than alsa? [20:39] tesseracter_: can you transmit the dev update to me? I'll touch the screen now... [20:39] since yesterday's update, when I type special spanish characters (accents) I get gibberish (squares) in most programs. Any idea how to fix it? (I use KDE 3.5.9) [20:39] m_newton:well its when u need to download data or accesss webpages and all ports are blocked :) like in my case [20:39] Ienorand: oh ok, ill try that, what should the smtp ports be set to? [20:39] http://packages.medibuntu.org/gutsy free non-free ... one is regular the other is Source Code, Slart [20:39] orkid: My nautilus have been behaving lately.. but considering it's history I'm guessing it's just a bug. We'll soon have the old bloated, memory eating, blob of an application back [20:39] joanki2: yes, you can enable it [20:39] !pulseaudio [20:39] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [20:39] sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path === GadgetMan_ is now known as GadgetMan [20:40] Slart, thanks SO much for everything! [20:40] orkid: =) [20:40] soundray, open a terminal window and just start typing. i'll transmit the patch via brainwaves [20:40] joanki2: it works now? [20:40] Slart: oh ok. :) [20:40] KaKoRoT: hello? [20:40] Slart: i'm thinking kde now :) [20:40] Slart: again [20:40] benny269: that is only if you want to send OUT via the account, which I dunno how good it works... [20:40] soundray [20:40] joanki2: you're welcome [20:40] orkid: mm.. I' [20:40] Slart, i'm still waiting for it to download i'll let you know [20:40] m_newton:/usr/sbin/sshd -p 80 [20:40] Ienorand: i do want to [20:40] orkid: mm.. I've thought about it too.. but I can't really stand KDE.. don't really know why [20:40] soundray, dont worry if it looks wrong--im sending it encrypted [20:41] hey.. can anyone tell me.. I plugged an usb device (samsung handy) in.. how I can access it?? http://pastebin.org/40404 [20:41] What exactly is songbird? Is it an iTunes clone? [20:41] thanks.. :) [20:41] hello [20:42] tyberion: start a terminal.. run this "tail -f /var/log/syslog"... then you connect your device in.. and watch the window.. there should be some info where it's mounted [20:42] tyberion:nothing wrong with that just get a appropriate package that can handle your device [20:42] Anyone pls: do I need to do anything in Hardy to use Pulseaudio? [20:43] <`jAguAr> i am trying to install some new programs but keep coming up with an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/16661/ please help [20:43] daemon3: a media player... still beta [20:43] benny269: Okay set the SMTP above 1024 and add a new outgoing SMTP server (bottom of accounts settings list).

[20:45] anyone?? PulseAudio ?? http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=789578 [20:45] Ienorand: that would work for me [20:45] `jAguAr: Feel free to yell at me if you already did this, but did you do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?

[21:21] yes,but is for windows [21:22] titusg: I actually think it's called Monospace [21:22] garrett: i even don't know what a shell is...:( [21:22] The: nope.. compiz isn't available for windows [21:22] muratti: a terminal [21:22] I can't find much about it on google except for someone mentioning something about a bug [21:22] is not compiz [21:22] okay...:) [21:22] is only cube desktop [21:22] did anyone say anything to me? [21:22] it runs on windows [21:22] hi im trying to install hardy, i have 2 partitions and was hoping to just install over my current (7.10) 10gb partition leaving the rest (music etc) untouched. I have 2 options, entire disk or manual install. can someone help please? [21:23] Slart: hi, I tried that. It doesn't work for me...i.e. xrdb -merging that value to Emacs.Font breaks emacs [21:23] where do we applicate for these kinda things for developing ubuntu better? [21:23] and you have a linux like cubic desktop [21:23] gnr':manual install [21:23] muratti: also, there's grsync (a gui rsync) and unison, specifically for synching unix/windows machines. [21:23] soulhacker: i then just get dev/sda what do i do? [21:23] The: do you have a question? [21:23] no [21:23] muratti: don't move the file then just copy it === mcgyvver_ is now known as mcgyvver [21:24] gnr':so u have only one partition u must be gettin something underneath it [21:24] muratti: if you want to use bittorrent like azureus it can be configured for a local network [21:24] titusg: hmm.. well.. there are lots of monospaced fonts out there.. but.. isn't emace a terminal program? [21:24] Is it just me, or does netbook remix look like it is mainly designed to waste lots of precious vertical resolution by having TWO (count them) menu bars, plus an extra big, extra ugly toolbar thing? [21:24] titusg: *emacs [21:24] gnr':so u have only one partition or u must be gettin something underneath it [21:24] We need LESS bars and menus, not more [21:24] disciple: it's already a copying, okay; i wanted to install ubuntu onto mum's laptop [21:24] muratti: there are many more options for sharing besides samba which pretty much sucks but it works [21:24] soulhacker: what do you mean?i have 2 partitions i can see in nautilus [21:24] hi, I upgraded to Hardy, and now my vpnc cisco vpn login session is asking for a key fob passcode, which I have, but didn't have to enter before. Can anyone help? [21:24] muratti: samba is old NT technology [21:25] Is it possible to leave a message for somebody in this channel, if they are offline? [21:25] Ienorand: don't think so [21:25] Dang. [21:25] muratti: and you can always resize the partition and do a dual boot so you can leave windows oon there [21:25] disciple: i downloaded the image file on that laptop, but it's cd-writer is old, so it can not write good enogh to read by itself [21:26] lenorand:very cool idea you shud assk the channel operators to implement it would be pretty cool [21:26] what can I do if the linux kernel (initrd?) doesn't load mdadm raid devices? [21:26] disciple: hey, i know those things, r u listening? === Weems|XP is now known as Weems [21:26] well.. I'm off for a quick reboot.. hopefully I'll be back with a new shiny kernel =) [21:26] here, on this machine i have 3 o.s.'s [21:26] anyone got experience setting Bind9 : I got everything set for my local network. I can dig, ntlookup and ping. but where do I set the address seen from the outside world. my static ip given by my ISP [21:26] soulhacker: what do you mean?i have 2 partitions i can see in nautilus [21:27] Slart: I use the gui version, even though I use the keyboard almost exclusively. Sometimes it's nice to get to menus etc and more colour themes are available. [21:27] gnr':u must be seeinn dev/sda1/dev/sda2 then in anual instll right?? [21:27] muratti: yeah I was reviewing the convo that I missed [21:27] muratti: I recommend azureus for large file sharing and transferrs [21:27] forget this bull!! i am going back to windows, i dont have the patience for this [21:27] disciple: it's sometimes necessary to copy file, even it's an option as you have a flash disk, you have a right to use the network for you give money for it... [21:27] in manual install i just see /dev/sda soulhacker [21:27] KaKoRoT: what's wrong? [21:28] disciple: i need to ask if you're a bot or not? [21:28] muratti: this is called rsync [21:28] muratti: no im flesh [21:28] i require assistance with a Wireless issue [21:28] and cant seem to gt any help anywhere with it [21:28] KaKoRoT: is anyone helping you? if not ill try [21:28] i have google, used ubuntu forums and now i am here [21:28] I'm using ssh to connect to a remote machine. I want to run rtorrent on that machine, but every time I close my ssh connection, I close rtorrent as well. How do I keep rtorrent open? [21:28] lol, I love how I can join freenode and then hit /join (whatever) and know that the channel probably exists. [21:28] looking at flaming text rush pass my eyes [21:28] KaKoRoT: well lets here it [21:29] ok [21:29] ok i need help with wirless card using RT2500 chipset [21:29] k [21:29] it does not want to connect to my router [21:29] So guys: I have a Kubuntu 8.x install cd sitting to my left. I have a Leopard install cd sitting to my right. I'm all ready to repartition, and I want to know... should I partition with leopard, and then install kubuntu, or partition with kubuntu, and then install leopard? [21:29] SoundRay asked me to perform a tall -f command [21:29] KaKoRoT:the problem is not with ubuntu it is with ur wireless device maker dey make drivers for windows only go whine to them not here people here do their best to help [21:29] KaKoRoT: are the drivers installed and working? [21:29] soulhacker dont assume [21:29] soulhacker i just see /dev/sda [21:29] ghindo, ctrl+z to get back to te shell, then "fg 1" to run job 1 in the background [21:29] i cant stand people who assume [21:29] can someone tell me how i can turn the sound up?? just bough headphones and volume is low [21:29] KaKoRoT: are the drivers installed and working? [21:30] hi, when i try to share a folder i get ''net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [21:30] You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.' [21:30] KaKoRoT:what did i assume? [21:30] ghindo: you might look at screen if the application is a pure command line app. [21:30] i have headphones up all the way but its to low [21:30] that i am whining about ubuntu [21:30] i am asking for help [21:30] KaKoRoT: are the drivers installed and working? [21:30] and whining about the LACK of support i am getting [21:30] gnr':ok tell me what are ur partion types in gutsy [21:30] KaKoRoT: ok I give up you rather argue [21:30] how do i change the vino server resolution? can i do it in the client? a paramter in vncviwer for example? or do i need to do it in the server? [21:31] can i get some one on one help? [21:31] soulhacker: how do i find this out? [21:31] its a MSI CB54G2 Rt2500 Chipset recommended by the ubuntu forum [21:31] Hey folks, how would I go about finding out what Perl modules I have installed? [21:31] KaKoRoT: reset the router [21:31] drivers are apart ubuntu [21:31] done that [21:31] noelferreira: I don't think you can change it.. it uses the current desktop resolution, afaik [21:31] sorry the drivers come with ubuntu [21:31] is there anyway i can get javascript on ubuntu hard? [21:31] KaKoRoT: so the drivers are installed and working? [21:31] yes [21:31] is there anyway i can get javascript on ubuntu hardy? [21:32] Slart, what happened to vnc project? [21:32] KaKoRoT: what happens when you try and connect?> [21:32] but the problem is that the WPA, WEP or open does not connect [21:32] Da91 - you already have it. [21:32] da91, it's enabled by default on firefox [21:32] it keeps asking me for the WPA over and over [21:32] not sure what to do [21:32] non of the things i go to let me do it [21:32] WPA = epic fail [21:32] disciple, and everyone: thanks a lot, hope to see you again around, good nite...:) [21:32] noelferreira: vnc is available too.. it's an alternative. [21:32] KaKoRoT: sounds like you put in the wrong key [21:32] WEP fails as well [21:32] noelferreira: if you use a vnc server you can set the resolution [21:32] KaKoRoT: doublecheck [21:32] along with no security [21:32] gordonjcp: huh what would you later use [21:33] soulhacker: how do i find out what type of partition i have? [21:33] Slart, that's because with the resolution i have in the server the connection is to slow [21:33] i have been at this for 3 days now [21:33] Slart, yes i always used vnc and it worked always very good [21:33] KaKoRoT: I found out that my card and/or router doesn't like "complex" passphease. I set and alphanumeric 8 letters pass and it works. [21:33] Kl4m: ctrl+z isn't doing anything :( [21:33] is there any way i can turn the volume up on hardy? [21:33] noelferreira: hmm.. but install a vnc-server then.. it's not that hard [21:33] !vnc [21:33] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:33] mine is all lowercase one word [21:33] KaKoRoT: completely remove all drivers and wireless support and reinstall [21:33] gnr':post your /etc/fstab output in pastebin and gimmee da link [21:33] Slart, i used it for almost 10 years lol [21:33] hi there, was looking for support regardin removing the old traces of a custom compiled kernel, its blocking updates as it cant fine /lib/modules/blah to amke the initramfs, it should have all been removed as i no longer being used. some (hopefully) useful info follows - http://pastebin.ca/1038076 [21:34] I don't have the settings in Gnome Clock to turn off Daylight savings time. Where can I do that in Heron? [21:34] Kl4m: 64-bit wep, or no encryption at all on the air interface, and tunnel everything over ipsec [21:34] can someone help me, I'm not able to share a folder [21:34] KaKoRoT: then reset router to default settings [21:34] Da91:try the small volume icon in the top right corner [21:34] noelferreira: then you'll be done before I have time to make coffee =) [21:34] KaKoRoT: see if connects and go from there [21:34] Does anyone know how to set up a NetGear WGT111T adapter? [21:34] its up all the way XD [21:34] haha soulhacker sorry how do i do that? [21:34] KaKoRoT: start from scratch and build back up [21:34] i need to know one thing then [21:34] KaKoRoT: k [21:34] Kl4m: I don't see the point in using WPA at all - it's painfully slow and only a bit harder to crack than WEP [21:34] how do i remove and reinstall drivers on this ubuntu [21:34] KaKoRoT: you shouldn't really need to [21:34] KaKoRoT: What exactly are you trying to do? [21:34] admin > synaptic [21:35] is there any way to like double the volume like a program or something? [21:35] gordonjcp: WEP? oh please. WPA2 is AES encryption, very secure, and no home users want to setup a VPN [21:35] KaKoRoT: right click on the packages and hit completely remove so it purges configurations [21:35] Da91, do "gnome-volume-control" in a terminal [21:35] Belial, if you compiled your kernel manually, you may run `make modules_install` [21:35] gnr': gedit /etc/fstab on terminal and den paste all the etxt on pastebin [21:35] thanks mate [21:35] i found a diff to make something compile over at wiki.gentoo but how do i use a .diff ? [21:35] soulhacker, gnr` gksudo gedit /etc/fstab will work better =) [21:35] patch [21:35] RiotingPacifist: man patch [21:35] How do I correct the "invalid driver" error in Windows Wireless Drivers? [21:36] RiotingPacifist, patch [21:36] KRF: the kernel has since been removed, i was wondering where to remove the last trace [21:36] :O [21:36] thx [21:36] KaKoRoT: search for wifi wireless and networking and remove them then do the same and add them [21:36] no real need for pastebin, its only 2 lines (im using live cd) unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 [21:36] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 [21:36] Kl4m: no home user will be bothered setting up full-on WPA2 and an auth server [21:36] KaKoRoT: this way it purges any configuration which might be messing it up [21:36] soulhacker: look up btw :p (highlight) [21:36] Belial, grub maybe [21:36] WPA2? what happened to good ol 9600 bps? [21:36] rya1: What version of Windows did you use for the download? [21:37] Kl4m: if you're using any kind of wireless networking, and you're not tunnelling your traffic, then you're basically shouting it in the clear [21:37] gordonjcp: WPA2 with a pre-shared key, or course. [21:37] gnr':i didnt want you 2 do dat in ur livecd u said u had gutsy right do this in dat [21:37] Kl4m: PSK is trivial to break [21:37] O:-) [21:37] Kl4m: takes about an hour, even assuming there isn't a quicker way [21:37] soulhacker: english. [21:37] gordonjcp: I think you're mixed up in your concepts. there is nothing to "break" in a PSK. [21:38] Belial, or run update-initramfs -v manually [21:38] soulhacker:please. [21:38] gnr':in manual insall only /dev/sda is shown right do u have advanced options there [21:38] and see what the output is [21:38] WG111T driver help, anyone please? [21:38] soulhacker: please* [21:38] gordonjcp: except brute-forcing it [21:38] Kl4m: yup [21:38] Kl4m: you grab two parts of the four-way handshake, and wave a rainbow table at it [21:38] rya1: Which driver (Windows version) did you download? [21:38] gordonjcp: sounds like funn! [21:38] Kl4m: bang, you're in [21:38] KaKoRoT: you are in a position where its easier to start fresh than hunt down the configuration problem [21:38] Kl4m: like I say, takes about an hour [21:38] Can anyone this time like me to a working ndiswrapper wiki please ? [21:39] Hey... I installed Hardy on a school computer, but it has a crappy connection and I can't apt-get update and install stuff.. [21:39] KRF: Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.25.4-dave still imafraid [21:39] ARKANIAD:i use english only if you cant understand it due to some typing errors then i think you should check on yours first === ubuntu-l1ptop is now known as ubuntu-laptop [21:39] Are the updates which you get from the update manager added to the install builds regularly? [21:39] ARKANIAD: oh, there are far more fun things than that [21:39] what is the appropriate gid for the wheel group on ubuntu? [21:39] guys [21:39] how can i set up and share a fax modem as a printer in hardy? [21:39] I need to get the things I need install from a livecd at home.. [21:40] hmmm. hullo? [21:40] i restarted the router again, and it worked [21:40] ARKANIAD: leaving an AP deliberately open, with the ESSID set to "linksys" or similar so people will go "aha, some idiot has left their wifi open!" [21:40] Does anyone here know the difference between ehci_hcd ohci_hcd and uhci_hcd? [21:40] Belial, try -c :) [21:40] Belial, i dont know, sorry [21:40] ARKANIAD: except you've got it on a hub rather than a switch, and you're monitoring the traffic with dsniff, msgsnarf, mailsnarf etc [21:40] Gordonjcp: sounds like me. lol. yeah. [21:40] ARKANIAD: you'd be *amazed* how careless people are [21:40] gordonjcp: go read some more. WPA2 with an appropriate PSK is fully secure (as far as known today) [21:40] eight_: Just put a cd in the computer with the packages on it and you can run synaptic to install... you can build a custom set of packages using aptoncd [21:41] Kl4m: keep telling yourself that === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [21:41] same again, thanks for the help though KRF, ill try the forums, #ubuntu is a bit to high traffic :) [21:41] no advanced options soulhacker, gutsy messed up so i cant get on it :(,have to use live cd [21:41] Slart, thanks for the help, it was usefull :) [21:41] Bye all ! [21:41] i would think gid 10 would be appropriate for the wheel group, but that is already occupied. can i use any system gid or is there one specifically assigned? [21:41] Belial, high traffic -> more feedback [21:41] steph33560: you're welcome [21:41] gordonjcp: nobody round here is smart enough to hack.lol [21:41] gordonjcp: As far as I am aware, there are no known breaks in WPA2 [21:41] Hi, when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.24-17 the suspend and hibernation stopped working, when I boot using 2.6.24-16 it works fine, can someone help me with it? [21:41] gnr;:go with automated installl and go to next screen see what it is doing [21:42] YoG: those funcions have had problems for a long time. [21:42] soulhacker: asks me my name and stuff [21:42] ARKANIAD: Well... yes, but it worked with the previous kernel... [21:43] YoG: and thats what is stumping me. [21:43] hello is there someone who can help a bit of a novice ... er with the basics? [21:43] How do I disable daylight savings time in Hardy if the GUI settings aren't there? [21:43] does anyone know how to bridge a wireless network device in vmware server? [21:43] ciao [21:43] !ask | emma [21:43] emma: 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. :-) [21:43] emma_ I will try :) [21:43] emma_: sure [21:43] Does anyone here know the difference between ehci_hcd ohci_hcd and uhci_hcd? [21:43] hi, i used to use firestarter to route my ath0 traffic to eth0. now it justed stop working. [21:43] now, I guess downloading the packages themself shouldn't be too hard.. but theres a thing that bothers me: I couldn't compile things from source, it said it couldn't creat a C executable or something of that sort. [21:43] Does anyone know if there's a way to change Gnome Clock from the command line? [21:43] gordonjcp: the only known attacks against AES are "side-channel" which I'm not exactly affraid of yet. Now I have to go. [21:43] gnr':well i am just guessing here but if u choose automated it will take the free space present on your hardy / which is free i hope you have that much free space on it [21:44] ubottu spams too much lol [21:44] cygoku: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:44] don't mix up TKIP (eeew) with AES [21:44] ubottu : i know u r not intelligent [21:44] ahh. the root group is the wheel group [21:44] cygoku: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:44] ARKANIAD: so there is nothing I can do? just wait for the next build and hope it'll work there? [21:44] cygoku: please leave the bot alone [21:44] tum tee tum [21:44] someone know why there is a kernel update?

I'm connected to the internet via wired networking but I need it to be wireless. I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 yesterday - incase it helps.

Exactly what the script needs to be depends on the design of that site === mehdi_ is now known as bayar [21:48] KCrash: Application 'kdenlive' crashing... [21:48] Could not find 'drkonqi' executable.

NO idea how to get to or from where i am now. soulhacker maybe you can help or not so much in the business of mommying little newcomers? [21:49] emma_: type /j #ubuntu-offtopic [21:50] i did!

[21:50] Is there a remote assistance program for Ubuntu 8.04? [21:50] How do I have ubuntu rebuild my grub boot menu after installing WinXP and restoring Grub to the boot sector with the LiveCD? [21:50] When I install a program from the repos I assume it comes with icons for the main menu and such.. are those installed somewhere? /usr/share perhaps? or in my home folder? somewhere else? [21:50] Starnestommy-> yes [21:50] emma_: What client are you using? [21:50] I want to make sure WinXP is on the menu [21:50] i'm a newcomer [21:50] xchat gnome [21:50] emma_: i.e. what program are you running to connect to irc? [21:50] how can I find out what package i need to install for a particular .so.2 file please?? [21:50] can anyone daddy me? [21:50] rya1: what exactly do you want?

[21:51] exactly as you had it there? * feel like a right doos * [21:51] Starnestommy: libasound.so.2 [21:51] rya1: remote desktop of some kind? [21:51] northbynorthwest: Yummy! [21:51] icqnumber: That only lists/searches packages. rpm -Va checks the md5sum of every file of every package that's installed. Anyway, I found debsums which seems to do what I need. [21:51] Yeah. I have a friend who can fix my problems but he needs access to my system. [21:51] emma_: yes [21:51] emma_: in that case try this [21:51] ActionParsnip: libasound2 [21:51] fc: are you sure you need an entire repo [21:52] with the /j and the whole deal hey?

I have sata too.. sata II (or whatever they call the faster version) [23:42] its supposed to be 3 gig [23:42] i think [23:42] Can somebody using nvidia proprietary drivers send me his xorg.con please ? nvidia-xconfig don't work very well with me [23:43] SeaPhor.. on another machine.. also ubuntu8.04... did have the same symptom after updates... However just re-installed the driver and worked.. for this machine it did not. [23:43] is there anyway to find out my bios version from inside of linux [23:43] brb time to try a re-start AGAIN. [23:43] hello there. Can someone help me out ? I can't connect via ftp to ubuntu with installed pure-ftpd: tail /var/log/syslog: http://pastebin.com/m3e0c1100 [23:43] unavailable: yes.. theoretical max is 375 MB/s.. I get 1/20 of that..sigh [23:44] hi there - now that /etc/inittab is missing in hardy, how do I set the default init level the system boots with? [23:44] jessica_: no [23:44] ok thanks anyway [23:44] For example, most people only think of SATA-II as offering a 3Gbps (gigabits per second) serial pipe for data http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1828252,00.asp [23:44] !upstart | William [23:44] William: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:44] <_Ben__> bachiir - my prefered option? copy your files to another pc and install from scratch from the same 7.10 disk that worked for you before. If you 'upgraded' to 8.04 you might be able to do it via apt-get??? not sure on that tho [23:44] jessica_, sudo dmidecode [23:44] hey guys i am having an issue. All of a sudden my podcast client (G podder) will not open or will not stay open. this just started happening [23:44] nickrud, thanks, well, I wasn't sure if they both came with desktops and even if they both came with the same desktop, I'm writing a guide that will slowly transition a windows user into using linux, without causing the mental crash it has done to me xD. I just googled and found out that server is pure command line. The thought of server edition not having a desktop didn't accur to me at first. [23:44] joni_, have you tried completely removing all things, the driver and anything else used with it (ie ndiswrapper etc)? and the reinstalling it? [23:44] Note that eSATA devices will typically run at 1.5Gbps. [23:44] unavailable: I'm going to try copying in a terminal.. I'm still a bit suspicious about nauitilus and it's file handling [23:45] thanks nickrub [23:45] lol [23:45] Bah... this has to happen while I'm doing summer research. I'm away from home and all I have with me is this laptop. I left my desktops back at my house and I won't be going back for another 3 months. [23:45] nickrud: oh, excellent. Sorry, jessica_ [23:46] its fine soundray [23:46] Hello, I need to make perminant changes to the PATH bash variable, i did chanages with PATH=${PATH}:/mydir but when i closed the terminal the changes were gone [23:46] so anyone know a way to make virtual box spit sound to usb better? (when i say better i mean no chop/skip/slip) [23:47] rakan: add "export PATH=${PATH}:/mydir" to the end of $HOME/.bashrc [23:47] Is there nobody using proprietary nvidia driver here ? :'( [23:47] ooh [23:47] Hi, I just got a computer with what I believe has feisty-fawn. My friend forgot his username and password. Does anyone know how to bipass the login? [23:47] yes i am [23:48] what's the command to run screenlets manager? [23:48] SeaPhor wireless once again...whew! [23:48] Ben: Thanks for all the help. [23:48] mysterioso: boot in recovery mode, find out the username and run 'passwd username' [23:48] mysterioso: use a live cd to login.. or the recovery mode [23:48] mysterioso, when you're booting up and see a line about grub loading, hit escape, and choose recovery mode [23:48] Anyone else have any ideas as far as troubleshooting fglrx on hardy? [23:49] bachiir... whats the issue.. missed your problem [23:49] Bachiir, get a nvidia card? [23:49] Bachiir, could you put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on paste.ubuntu.com? [23:49] I use fglrx on my other laptop [23:49] is it just me but the desktop background changer has issues with selecting a picture with a mouse click. [23:49] joni_, what did you do to fix ?? [23:49] rconan, that's evil, suggesting throwing money at problems ;) [23:49] <_Ben__> bachiir - sorry i couldnt be more useful [23:50] nickrud, indeed, not the best of ideas really [23:50] Sure, sure, one minute. My problem is that I just upgraded to Hardy and cannot install fglrx and I have been having many graphical issues. [23:50] seaphor http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765284 [23:50] Bachiir.. have you looked at xorg.conf? [23:50] Bachiir: have you tried System-Administration-Hardware Drivers? [23:51] could someone end me a copy fo /bin directory from his ubuntu 8 ? some rootkit has changed me all binaries from /bin ;] [23:51] Woah, let me restart my xsession quickly. For those of you who have taken interest in my issue, please hold on while I try to regain some control. [23:51] send* [23:51] joni_, nice, bookmarked that one [23:52] grzyb: you should really reinstall any system that has been compromised in this way [23:52] nope [23:52] nickrud thanks [23:52] I know this rootkit [23:52] SeaPhor... I even did a complete re-install.. kicking myself over and over and over and over ......... [23:52] soundray thanks [23:52] can anyone help me configure my sound device for mp3blaster? [23:52] sources etc and the only thing I need now is binaries backup [23:52] is there anyway to disable that feature? or make it slightly harder to do? [23:53] were there any changes in samba from gutsy to hardy? [23:53] can't seem to start samba [23:53] ps aux |grep samba shows nothing [23:53] hello, i have a problem using Gparted on ubuntu [23:53] nickrud in gutsy though, not feisty [23:53] anyone know how to fix subtitle problem in kaffeine? it freezes the video for half a second every time subtitle appears.. [23:53] Thanks for waiting. What was the site you suggested I paste my Xorg.0.log to? [23:53] pastebin [23:53] ? [23:53] mysterioso: it's fairly pointless to try and protect a computer where the supposed attacker has console access. Set a BIOS bootup password, perhaps [23:54] joni_, been there,,, over, and over, and over, and over, and over, i didnt have wireless working from january to may,,,,, [23:54] i use www.debian.patebin.com [23:54] mysterioso, yes, you can password protect grub, in /boot/grub/menu.lst . Or, use a bios password (what I do) [23:54] i need help updating my feisty... when i click the button in the upgrade manager that says upgrade to version 7.10, it tells me there is a problem with the network connection and i never get past step 1, preparing the update [23:54] SeaPhor :) [23:54] mysterioso: hard drive encryption might make it a bit harder [23:55] <_Ben__> im off now. thanks again to all who assisted me tonight [23:55] mysterioso you could also use bootpart to grab the boot from your hdd, save it to floppy and then remove it from hdd.... (BACK IT UP MANY TIMES) and only be able to start with that disk [23:55] [anyone], can u guys explain how i can partition my HDD for a vista install? [23:55] topcat1027: it may be your computer's way of telling you: give me a fresh hardy installation ;) [23:55] bachiir... i dont know about that file you named... but what i am particularly looking for is /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:55] where is the program files directory in ubuntu? [23:55] if someone has access to the machine, encryption will keep out the honest [23:56] soundray, how do i do that [23:56] shashank: vista install? we can help you install ubuntu.. for vista support there is ##windows I think [23:56] shashank you have to either use the live cd or gparted download disk, or in spm download gparted [23:56] whats the easiest gui for lirc? [23:56] ndis-wrapper only helps with wireless connections? so using it to try to fix a wired connection would not work? Is that right? [23:56] topcat1027: backup any data you still need, download and burn an 8.04 iso image, boot from it and install. [23:56] Radit: there isn't one.. /usr is the closest I guess.. [23:57] DaveKong: yes [23:57] thanks [23:57] Radit: google for linux file system hierarchy or something, lots of good info out there [23:57] how do i update my menu.lst file to show my new kernel image its still show my old one? [23:57] Hey everyone, is anyone here who might be able to tell where I can find people who might know of the VESA BIOS EXTENSION 2 or 3? [23:57] soundray: you mean like wipe my hard drive? i can't do that... i gotta go though, be back in 15 or so minutes [23:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16695/ ... still having trouble with core dumping xchat with 2 boxes. Any help/info appreciated. I have checked launchpad. [23:57] My issue again is that I upgraded to Hardy and then began having graphical issues. I have not been able to install fglrx and cannot figure out why. I was advised to upload Xorg.0.log and Xorg.conf. They may be found at http://www.debian.pastebin.com/da9d2514 and http://www.debian.pastebin.com/d36ab2ae7 respectively. Thank you! [23:58] ecker: sudo update-grup [23:58] ecker: oops.. sudo update-grub [23:58] i try to install the advance desktop effects but all i get is W: Failed to fetch [23:58] [anyone], i need help in partitioning my HDD. [23:58] Slart, thanks i found that /usr/bin has a the application i'm looking for [23:58] [anyone], i have Gparted, but i dont know how 2 use it. [23:59] bachiir... are you using dual monitors? === alan_m is now known as speeddemon8803 [23:59] Radit: there are commands to search for where binaries are located.. "which", "whereis", "locate" are a couple [23:59] No [23:59] bachiir... your xorg.conf is a mess [23:59] joni: I'd believe it. I never touched it manually and don't know much about it. [23:59] Slart: thanks :-)
