[00:00] ok men [00:00] funkyHat: i don't have a hard drive on the computer i want to run ubuntu on, nor a cd-rom drive because it [00:00] I will be here [00:00] jrib: did command. no results in term window [00:00] funkyHat: is in another machine [00:00] !pure gnome [00:00] Factoid pure gnome not found [00:00] akahige: ok, sudo apg-get upgrade then [00:00] lscapegoatl: ok, what you will need to do is set up a nfs server on the remote machine in addition to the pxe server === sport|timeout is now known as sportman [00:01] amachahoo:You can use text mode to install or do what i did when i had that problem.I used the live cd to install with.. [00:01] funkyHat: i can't just boot an image? i've tried it with an msdos boot image and it worked fine [00:02] lberg... i thought it might be a kernel bug... looks like that's the only way to fix it for now... [00:02] jrib: it caught the "stuck" file. asking to remove. Should just go ahead, right? [00:02] lscapegoatl: then the pxe stage will load the kernel, I think you can supply all the options you need to it via pxelinux (you may need a small initramfs, not sure) [00:02] Guest37168, , ok here is a link, copy/paste to a terminal the complete command in the remove kubuntu box, after that do the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop again [00:02] akahige: can you pastebin if you aren't sure? [00:02] Guest37168, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [00:02] sure. hold on [00:02] lscapegoatl.... wow your so windows thick headed... if you want to learn linux.. loose windows! [00:02] can anyone else confirm that the package nvidia-kernel-common is broken? [00:02] should i go with 64 or 32 bit kernel for ubuntu? [00:03] tj83: i run mac, linux, and windows [00:03] tj83: tnx [00:03] ok men thankyou very much [00:03] lscapegoatl: that's not really a practical solution for booting a whole linux OS, nfs is much easier to work with, and allows you to preserve changes across boots [00:03] magic_ninja: You probably want a whole 32 bit or 64 bit distribution, or mean a 32 or 64 bit distribution. [00:03] jrib: http://slexy.org/view/s21Ubt07e9 [00:03] funkyHat: i have ubuntu installed on another partition on this machine, is there anyway to just point that to my laptop? [00:04] akahige: umm, I don't think you want to remove that. Isn't that your current good kernel? [00:04] * Pelo reinstalled windows xp earlier, he feels dirty [00:04] :) [00:04] magic_ninja: I'd go with 32 bit. You won't see great performance gains on 64 bit, except for certain intensive applications. (Maybe heavy number crunching with big numbers), but you will see incompatibilities and inconvenient problems on 64 bit, if you wan to run flash or java, or even 32 bit windows apps in Wine, in my experience. [00:05] afabian: ty that is what iw as going to do but i wanted to make sure [00:05] jrib: -18 is current kernel. was removing -16 and -17 kernels (per advice on forum) [00:05] afabian: just got a new comp, linux still booted but i still need to reinstall [00:05] 64bit keeps getting better, but there are still some problems [00:05] pelo... you should feel dirty :) atleast its the cleanest win ver possile. [00:05] lol tj83 :) [00:05] akahige: ok, remove it if you've booted into -18 safely. I'd keep -17 around as a backup [00:05] jrib: cool. thnx [00:06] lscapegoatl: it's probably possible but very complicated. I wouldn't recommend trying it either as it could break your ubuntu system [00:06] magic_ninja: Most of them have imperfect and work-arounds, the problems. For instance, you can run 32 bit flash in a 64 bit browser... with 32 bit libs on the 64 bit system... but I found out that hulu.com (NBC's new site) doesn't work for .. no reason I can track down. It's a hack to make 32 bit flash work in 64 bit, but it's apparently not perfect. [00:06] funkyHat: can i do nfs over pxe? [00:06] lscapegoatl: you'd have a much easier job of setting up a separate installation (you'd also have a much easier job if you were using linux as your host but you can probably get around that) [00:07] lscapegoatl: no, they would run as separate services but that's not an issue, they can both run on the same machine [00:07] afabian: hulu works fine here on amd64 [00:07] jrib: can you check paste here: http://slexy.org/view/s20cJz1xiH ... command produced errors [00:07] funkyHat: the laptop doesn't have a hard drive, a disk drive, or a cdrom drive [00:07] funkyHat: my only option is network booting with pxe [00:08] akahige: do those files it can't find exist? [00:08] lscapegoatl: for windows network boot best to ask in #windows [00:08] pelo... um... crack? you mean like bootleg? like non-authentic ? you should feel extra dirty.. filthy even [00:08] Will someone help me in getting a USB audio device to work? [00:08] lscapegoatl: yeah I've figured that much out it's ok ;-). I mean you can run both the pxe server and the nfs server on your windows machine which -does- have the hdd etc. [00:08] jrib: That's interesting. Never worked for me. :/ I had amd64... it's.. ah, a core 2 laptop. Works great on real 32 bit, but no love from nspluginwrapper. Worked great on every other flash site.

I just installed kubunut-desktop and now my network wont work... any idea what happened? I can ping my router, but can't get to the internet... [00:25] Koopa: I think KDE has its own network manager.

[00:58] ?

[00:58] Roums: Which is a setup I highly doubt that you have, especially if this is your average home network. [00:58] NewfieLinux: you need to first install linux before you can get wifi working [00:58] scapegoat2: sorry, thats for reading a .gz file [00:59] NewfieLinux, can you just plug in until you get it working? [00:59] thank you starnestommy [00:59] Well I could [00:59] but it would be a pain in the ass [00:59] and its not convient [00:59] that might be a little work [00:59] newfielinux its no less convienient [00:59] Cause my wireless is in a different room [00:59] NewfieLinux, probably like these folks trying to help without you being on the net haha [01:00] Roums: Or the computers being on separate vlans and the router routing between them, but it can't be that since both computers are in the same IP range.

[01:36] mycroftiv, to give you a little more background info, I used to run gutsy, but the AMD64 kernel, and I never had this problem there, I upgraded to hardy and switched to the 32 bit kernel because of the lack of java support in 32bit [01:36] kiamo lst msg was for blake-tst sorry [01:36] theres atheros hardware access layer (hal) [01:36] Blake_Tst: there is no wireless info there [01:36] mycroftiv, err, lack of java support in the 64 bit rather [01:36] So it looks like I've borked python, is there a way to reinstall it without disrupting any dependencies? Here a pastebin when I try and open obmenu: http://pastebin.ca/1039114 [01:36] anyone have a lexmark x1290 printer working [01:36] wiat [01:36] kiamo use alt+f2 and enter compiz --replace [01:36] currently the version of nunit available on hardy is 2.2.8. this is somewhat outdated. how to go about installing a newer version?

[01:37] When I partition do I have to re-install windows or can I keep my current windows,Im still not utterly sure how to dual boot [01:37] someguy: as an alternate debugging approach, what other USB devices are connecte/used in addition to the mouse? [01:37] blake i have something i think will work for you [01:37] brb [01:37] ok [01:37] tj83: oh right hahah. well i think i need to install some stuff too. i ran it from the cmd line and Xgl is not present, Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth [01:37] hey whut permission should i have /var/www/ set to.. I need to access it through Samba, so I tried to set it with chown to the user who is accesing the folder through samba, but it did not work, so I had to chmod 777 it, this is not safe and I want to make the persmission back to safe as soon as possible while giving access to the samba user accessing it [01:37] blake_tst http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765284 worked on my gf atheros card [01:38] ok one sec [01:38] kiamo... i know.. we all get those errors [01:38] mycroftiv, I have a USB WLAN adapter plugged in also, but I had this problem before I began using it [01:38] ubuntu most have a bug, how can i have 50gigs left on a 30gig hd [01:38] Kiamo... i just ignor it [01:38] mycroftiv, I also occasionally plug in USB sticks/hard drives [01:38] someguy how long does the mouse freeze for [01:38] tj83: but im not seeing any compiz effects [01:38] Hawkskater, until I restart, I can't even unplug/plug it back in to get it to work [01:39] wierd [01:39] How can I tell how much to partition for ubuntu?

[01:39] iv got an ati card [01:39] J-_: i bit what is broken is the xml being read here:     self.dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(fil.read()) [01:39] NewfieLinux, as much as you want really. Ubuntu itself won't take up more than a GB or two, if that much [01:39] 80gig 52gig left [01:39] anybody? [01:40] hey whut permission should i have /var/www/ set to.. I need to access it through Samba, so I tried to set it with chown to the user who is accesing the folder through samba, but it did not work, so I had to chmod 777 it, this is not safe and I want to make the persmission back to safe as soon as possible while giving access to the samba user accessing it [01:40] :S [01:40] NewfieLinux: depends what you want to do with it [01:40] sry to spam [01:40] nikonadictk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:40] and your using fglrx drivers kiamo? [01:40] someguy can u try the mouse on that computer and see if it does the same thing [01:40] i dunno [01:40] NewfieLinux, basically, make as much space as you want for your files [01:40] I just want to dual boot to see if linux works o.k [01:40] Noob question: If I have ubuntu 8.04 installed and I also want to be able to boot into mythbuntu (via grub) do I need to create a seperate partition to install mythbuntu on, or will it do the work for me and say add in a seperate folder or something?? [01:40] just installed ubuntu about 30 mins ago [01:40] before I wipe it all [01:40] hi! can i install the java 32bits version on a amd64 hoary? I need to use java -d32 [01:40] someguy: yeah USB filesystem mounting and unmounting could lock up the interface, but first id check to see what USB modules you have loaded and make sure they match the USB controller on your motherboard, sudo lshw , lsmod , modinfo can provide that [01:40] then switch just to linux [01:40] NewfieLinux: try the livecd [01:40] NewfieLinux, 20GB is probably a safe point to start with [01:40] Ugh [01:40] you'd be fine with 10GB [01:40] wireless doesnt work witht the live xd [01:40] xota: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774956 [01:40] xota: apt-cache search -n ia32 java then use update-java-alternatives [01:41] is Wubi-installed Ubuntu significantly slower than a real partition install? [01:41] black_tst any progress? [01:41] Question: I'm looking into buying a tablet PC, are there any that work better with Ubuntu then others...Meaning what would you recomend [01:41] NewfieLinux, it won't work with in the install then either. [01:41] NewfieLinux, it'll probably work if you use ndiswrapper. [01:41] NewfieLinux: 20 gig is enough w/o wiping windows [01:41] mycroftiv, I piped two files from their output, but other than my system info I"m not really sure what I'm looking at here [01:41] daguar I would think so but im not absolutey sure [01:41] Cause for my wireless to work it needs to update and install a driver [01:41] oh!!! lot of thanks! [01:41] kiamo... check system-admin-hardware drivers to see if the proprietary driver is in use [01:41] mycroftiv, I mean I get that one's the hardware and the other is the module installed to support it, but what am I looking for exactly? [01:41] NewfieLinux, oh, I see [01:41] NewfieLinux, did you try useing wubi? [01:41] xota, hoary is unsupported. if you want, you can download hardy, back up your data, and do a clean install [01:42] someguy: just making sure that the module that's loaded actually matches the hardware as a first check was the idea [01:42] tj83: sorry had to restart x, i killed compizconfig thing and x froze [01:42] and another thing... can I configure the firefox java plugin to use the -d32 option? === methodone is now known as ThaLuser === ThaLuser is now known as MethodOne [01:42] #ubuntu.ph [01:42] MethodOne, excuse, the hardy version ;) [01:42] mycroftiv, aren't the modules more generic than the hardware typically? [01:42] wilvyrux: you need /join first [01:42] kiamo... check system-admin-hardware drivers to see if the proprietary driver is in use [01:43] someguy can u plug ur mouse into ur girlfriends computer and see what happenes [01:43] someguy, or steal her mouse for a sec [01:43] someguy: depends -- its often quite specific. most usb stuff falls into a few main things on PCs though. [01:43] mycroftiv, have you had any experience with virtualbox? [01:43] you cannot do that on the live CD [01:43] tj83: not in use [01:43] someguy: no more than about 5 minutes [01:44] mycroftiv, because maybe that's related, now that I think about it, I think this has happened when I had virtualbox running [01:44] re [01:44] tj83: im installing now [01:44] enable it and restart kiamo [01:44] mycroftiv, and I'm not using the community release because I'm using it to pipe the USB devices over to the VMs [01:44] newfie you can't do what on livecd? [01:44] and I didn't do that on gutsy when I was running it [01:44] hi, i cannot copy a folder into usr/shr/amsn/skins [01:44] that's probably it [01:44] someguy: hmm so maybe virtualbox is polling USB stuff and locks the rest of the kernel out or something? sounds plausible [01:45] bloodrock.. you dont want to get on the topix with newfielinux he is confused already and has already been supported by many.. he is on a mission to get ubuntu dualbooted with his windows [01:45] mycroftiv, could be, part of its installation process is installing kernel mods [01:45] after install ia32-sun-java6-bin and update-java-alternatives I can't use java -d32 anyway [01:45] Anyone dual boot several copies of ubuntu???

[01:46] someguy: if you want to check that hypothesis, you might be able to use cat /proc/interrupts to see if USB mouse interrupts are not being generated at all, or if they are seen by the CPU but don't make it to userland [01:46] what are the min requirements for ubuntu 8.04 [01:46] hi, i cannot copy a folder into usr/shr/amsn/skins how can i get my session to have that authorization [01:46] tj83, lol he prob burned the cd with winblows dunno why he didn't try wubi it almost just like daulbooting [01:46] BCM43: Im wondering do I have to have a seperate partition for the different versions (ubuntu and mythbuntu) or can it be installed on the same drive (I've seen different kernel images able to do this so I was thinking adding on mythbuntu would act the same way) [01:46] im running it on a computer with 256mb of ram and a 1.6 single core, and it runs just fine [01:46] Wubi is poo [01:47] Andrew_Barber: i used seperate partitions. [01:47] someguy: if i cat /proc/interrupts, then wiggle the mouse, then cat /proc/interrupts i can see the see the interrupts generated on the IO/APIC line that corresponds to my USB controller [01:47] i got rid of windows for good [01:47] bloodrock... wubi is not what he wants he wants 100% windows after he works out his wifi hardware issues [01:47] mycroftiv, ok, lemme try that a second [01:47] installing explicity to work out the bugs and then instally 100% [01:47] installing* [01:48] I need some assistance gettting Warcraft to work with hardy / wine... has anyone here done that [01:48] i meand 100% ubuntu [01:48] if finalcut ever comes out for linux i will leave my mac and be 100% ubuntu [01:48] anyone having sound issues after updating? my sound setup got borked for some reason [01:48] <---- cant type [01:48] fingers tired [01:48] rustynails: warcraft 3 or world of warcraft?

[02:42] Starnestommy because www-data is a member of the wwwusers group [02:42] scapegoat_ are you trying to run an actual DHCP server, or are you just trying to get a DHCP address on your network adapter? [02:42] so if I just made the wwwusers group the owner Starnestommy then it should work right?

[02:44] uhm here's a weird question ... is anyone having issues with fonts (particularily sizes) in firefox 3 since the new kernel upgrade? [02:44] Starnestommy it worked! thanks buddy your a life saver i REALLY REALLY apreciate it [02:44] also when is firefox rc1 slated for ubuntu pkg distribution ? [02:44] jedimind: the devs are at the summit, so not for a while [02:44] jedimind: kernel upgrade shouldn't affect fonts [02:44] scapegoat_ is that all that is in your config file for dhcp3? [02:44] boa noite [02:44] hi. what could be that one of my IDE harddrives is reading very slowly..? I get access to the data, but it is extremely slow for some files [02:44] xocite: yeah i didnt think so weird but fonts are being weird in firefox [02:44] ubbottu here is the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/17062/ [02:44] grim76: should there be more? [02:44] and the only difference was the updates this morning [02:45] cinimod25: it is a bot [02:45] ticky: Are you using KDE4 ? [02:45] nope [02:45] jedimind: only after kernel upgrade? [02:45] anyone know how to disable gnome-media's 'new volume display' when composite manager(s) are enabled? [02:45] yuri11: I do not know much about QEMU. But once I used damn-small-linux and I right clicked and found network settings there. Please try. [02:45] okie, cause it will get REAL slow there ;) [02:45] xocite: i guess there were other updates this morning as well [02:46] xocite: I said "restart" last time, but I meant "reboot" [02:46] whats qt4? [02:46] i have two IDE HDs and a main SATA HD [02:46] oh ok sorry guys i'm so new i finally switched over from windows and i love ubuntu sorry if i seem like an idiot, but i'm willing to learn [02:46] cinimod25: willingness to learn is all anyone can ask of you - welcome aboard [02:47] cinimod25: we all started somewhere [02:47] thanks i'm excited, i just got fed up with windows and i am in love with ubuntu, [02:47] hmm [02:47] mytruehero: So, you reboot the server to restart it? [02:47] grim76: any ideas? [02:47] it is trasnfering (i'm copying a file) like 10 mb/minute [02:48] jedimind: heh, why don't you check your update logs [02:48] i'm using the 32 version of ubuntu, but i ordered the 64 bit on the website so im' excited to do that guys [02:48] im trying to make last.fm, and its saying g++ cmd not found and errors out, can anyone help with this? [02:48] hey guys i just got a logitech revolution and i notice that when i put a small load on the computer (load a page with flash or run make on a decent size project) the mouse stops or becomes super laggy is there any fixes for this? [02:48] xocite: Yes. I'm looking for a way to restart the entire machine. Is there another way than "reboot"? [02:48] xocite: that would imply i knew where those were :) [02:48] and how do you use the tab to put a name in your message [02:48] mytruehero: init 6 is another way === Tstantonfsu is now known as Blake_Tst [02:48] !tab | cinimod25 [02:48] cinimod25: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:48] cinimod25: start typing the name then hit tab [02:49] jedimind: first place i would check is /var/log [02:49] type the first few letter, then tab [02:49] jedimind: OH OK COOL [02:49] jedimind: thanks alot [02:49] How do I change apache start options? [02:49] xocite: Is it a different name for the same thing, or does it function differently than reboot? [02:49] no sweat, it wasnt exactly rocket science :) [02:49] Does anyone know? === KemicallyEnhance is now known as Kebert [02:49] rsync -rz -e ssh /home/someperson/Pictures/ server@server.com:/home/server/Pictures [02:49] lkj [02:49] what would that do? [02:49] scapegoat_ pastebin the contents of this file please /etc/default/dhcp3-server [02:50] would that the the correct way to upload only new files? [02:50] xocite: well yeah, but there doesnt seem to be an update.log - what file should i be lookign for (at) [02:50] jedimind: yeah but it's the little things that make a big impact when you dont know what the heck you are doing [02:50] and not reupload all? [02:50] cinimod25: Hi! you are correct. I am also fed up using pirated windows and I am happy to use right-royal UNIX - long live Ubuntu! [02:50] 3 [02:50] mytruehero: reboot basically calls init 6 [02:50] I'm tired of forking over $300 for windows licenses [02:50] jedimind: I don't use Ubuntu so I can't help you there. It'll probably be in the wiki though [02:51] xocite: Hmm, ok. If I put "init 6" in the crontab, will I have more luck than with "reboot" in there? === saintmykill is now known as kebert_xela [02:51] jedimind: im tired of waiting for windows to download of the Internet [02:51] BCM43: :) [02:51] mytruehero: it's worth a try. remember init needs root privs [02:51] I'm tired of running windows cracks :P === kat is now known as Guest2708 [02:51] xocite: just curious, why are you on this channel if you dont run ubuntu? [02:51] ksbalaji: yeah i got into virtual machines and am learning server 2003 and 2008 so i can get a better job, i know windows pretty well and i wanna expand my knowledge, i love computers and ubuntu is the best thing since the internet [02:51] How do I change my defult language? I want it to be only for 1 user [02:51] xocite: debian i assume? [02:51] i usually run legit windows, but i refuse to buy vista and XP's shelflife is just about over [02:52] xocite: Ok - if I just put it in root's crontab, will that work? Or do I need to do some voodoo to make it authenticate as root [02:52] How do I change apache start options? [02:52] BCM43: archlinux, actually. i'm on here because i like to help [02:52] xocite: ah [02:52] grim76, http://pastebin.com/d350f3e01 [02:52] I actually own legal licenses but it's too much of a pain to go through the hoops they give you for the legal users [02:52] mytruehero: roots crontab? [02:52] *root's [02:52] dmsuperman: same here, and i like the modded versions of xp better [02:52] ksbalaji: question? i wanna get my xp cer only cus i wanna teach it to people is it true that i wont be able to get my cert cus of some time in june they will stop certifing you? [02:53] xocite: Yes. Each user has their own crontab, right? I'm assuming that the commands in each user's crontab execute with that user's priveleges [02:53] xocite: Or am I wrong? [02:53] scapegoat_ change the eth0 to the proper device if you are not using eth0, or don't have one. [02:53] Newbies Channel Hint: Log these channels, then use the Tracker applet to search the logs from your desktop [02:53] mytruehero, iirc it's a global crontab [02:53] wow i installed a radeon driver update 2nd timeand it worked [02:53] why would the update manager not be able to fetch all repository indexes? I've had this occurring after updates 2-3 days ago? [02:53] hmm [02:53] where can u apt get kernel sources [02:53] so how can I have a command in the crontab run as root? that's my main problem, I guess [02:53] Pixeltime, How might I actually do that? That's a cool idea, even if I only want to implement it for something else [02:54] mytruehero: Ah, you're using crontab. [02:54] mytruehero, crontab -e as root [02:54] Applications / Tracker Search tool [02:54] mytruehero: yes, use the root's crontab... as t35t0r said [02:54] it will show in the menubar, click it for options [02:55] mytruehero: crontab has it's own format, are you familiar with it? [02:55] xocite: Ok. That's what I did with "reboot", though, and it didn't fire. Why will "init 6" be different? [02:55] xocite: Yeah - I have some other crontab commands that are working fine, I just can't get this one to work [02:55] Pixeltime, I have no menu, only a search box and a grayed out results area [02:55] why would the update manager not be able to fetch all repository indexes? I've had this occurring after updates 2-3 days ago? Says malformed release file? [02:55] yes, it needs to be run [02:55] how do i boot w/ the previous kernel ? [02:55] mytruehero: init 6 is a more direct call to reboot [02:56] see the icon in the top menu ? [02:56] any know how to install a Downloaded version of Firefox 2.0.0.14 onto hardy heron? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:56] jedimind, reboot and select the other kernel? [02:56] near the date / time [02:56] grim76, okay, that is working now, the other machine is trying to connect, but it seems i'm having a problem with tftp [02:56] I don't know much about tftp. [02:56] Pixeltime, I've since changed my panel around [02:56] deeperror: what key do i hit to select it ? [02:56] Might try posting the error message and someone might be able to help. [02:56] Pixeltime, and probably removed that one...what's it called so I can add it back? [02:56] right click on a panel and add it [02:56] deeperror: also i want to do it without having to run the menu - i want to do it permanently until i say otherwise [02:57] xocite: Alright, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help! [02:57] jedimind, i just use the arrow keys and press enter [02:57] Pixeltime, is it deskbar or search for files? [02:57] ok so i just installed the new ubuntu and i have the crossover pro 6.0.0.01 [02:57] deeperror: mine just boots, there's no menu ? [02:57] when i run it it stoppes at [02:57] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [02:57] any ideas [02:58] I've installed OpenJDK, but Eclipse says that it can't find a JRE so won't start [02:58] anyone know if there's a solution to virtualbox-ose running w/ the new kernel ? [02:58] mytruehero: let me know if you are successful [02:58] when you run it the first time, it puts it in the panel [02:58] panel? [02:58] How do I change apache start options? Does anyone know? [02:58] Pixeltime, it didn't, but I've found it and added it [02:59] Pixeltime, how do I add the logs to it? [02:59] MindVirus: what do you mean by 'start options' ? [02:59] its automagic ;) [02:59] jedimind, I want to enable SSL. [02:59] and it separates things by type [02:59] logs, music, photos, email. etc [02:59] MindVirus: i would imagine you'd have to mess w/ the httpd.conf [02:59] jedimind, no, not in there. [03:00] deeperror, I had problems with Hardy security repositories. Your are right. I am now manually updating my repository list. [03:00] MindVirus: try sudo a2enmod ssl [03:00] you have to compile apache2 with libapache-mod-ssl [03:00] MindVirus: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Apache2_SSL_in_Ubuntu [03:00] the Tracker knows All ;) [03:00] that should get you on the right path [03:00] ksbalaji, just remove them? or what should they be changed to?

My laptop (thinkpad t43p) is running hardy 8.0.4, fairly up to date (updated it day before yesterday). I just closed the lid, undocked the laptop, got in a car, drove a mile, got out of the car, opened the screen and got a blank screen. The various idiot lights were still on, but after several minutes, still no video output, no reaction to pressing keys, etc. I rebooted. [03:15] anyone know how to change refresh rate in command line so when the gui loads it won't be out of range [03:15] danbhfive, from the sun site? or can you get it through synaptic? [03:16] Thanks Seaphoi it worked [03:16] sorry, no hablo inglés [03:16] !sp | yulo [03:16] Factoid sp not found [03:16] alguien habla o escribe español [03:16] !es | yulo [03:16] yulo: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:16] I've also had one incident, since installing 8.0.4 from scratch, of suspend failing to suspend and getting fairly warm. [03:16] mshanks: its in the repos. sun-java6-jdk or jre [03:16] anyone here have a Hp laptop with a working webcam [03:16] hace un montón de tiempo busco un canal mormón pero no encuentro [03:16] picaso2, thank kebert_xela [03:16] alguien sabe de alguno [03:16] Where/what would I check to see if closing the screen kicks off some sort of suspend? [03:16] anyone know how to shut down a single frozen tab in FF without completely shutting down the browser and starting over? [03:16] i still cant get 8.0.4 to suspend / hibernate - it never comes back [03:16] I used the Sun one for FrostWire [03:16] !webcam | picaso2 [03:16] picaso2: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:17] danbhfive, ah nice thanks mate [03:17] Geoffrey2: AFAIK you can't, I never found an answer when I had a similar issue. [03:17] yulo Solamente engles por favor [03:17] cool ubotto [03:17] ok, sorry... bie [03:17] !botsnack [03:17] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [03:17] adios [03:17] anyone seen issues with the new -18 kernel and causing the nvidia driver to fail [03:17] ? [03:17] Hm, come to think of it, I recently switched to the proprietary ATI driver. Before that, suspend worked okay. Hm.... [03:17] Pixeltime: wow [03:17] puff, I was afraid of that....imo, tabbed browsing is basically useless if a single tab can cause the whole thing to crash.... [03:17] aww, you can stiil feed them ;) [03:18] musikgoat: did you reinstall/recompile the driver after updating the kernel? [03:18] how do i permanently boot into an earlier kernel ? [03:18] so anyway, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 and after a couple of minutes in firefox, whenever I click on any link, Ubuntu will crash. I even downgraded to firefox 2 to check if firefox 3 was causing the problem but it wast. What else could it be? [03:18] kebert_xela: i ran nvidia-xconfig [03:18] well permanently until further notice [03:18] Is there a way to restore my Xorg.conf file... Mine got deleted [03:18] kebert_xela: but no, i did not run the shell script [03:19] i'm having some sound issues, is there anyone that has the time to help? [03:19] musikgoat: you need to reinstall the driver by running nvidia's script whenever you update your kernel [03:19] saywatmang: there should be backups of it [03:19] kebert_xela: thanks [03:19] np [03:20] I need help with iptables. I have a program that will only listen on port 3784, but 3784 is blocked. I want to direct incoming traffic on port 50001 to 3784, and vice versa. [03:20] I've tried using iptables, but i get the error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name [03:20] how do i manually start tftpd? [03:20] hi [03:20] Geoffrey2: I find it annoying, but it's a matter of resource consumption - if every tab/window ran in its own process, it'd consume a heckof a lot more resources. I'd like the option to force this in some cases, though. [03:20] killux: check swap, and if that is fine, are you on a ppc? [03:21] scapegoat_ try sudo /etc/init.d/tftp start dunno if that will work or not. [03:21] BCM43: what do you mean check swap? and no im not ona ppc [03:21] What exactly is the "netbook remix"? [03:21] grim76, no such file or directory, i'm using tftpd instead of tftpd-hpa [03:22] Hi friends! bye! [03:22] jedimind, where ? [03:23] puff, I'll just remember when I'm doing something important and non-savable in one tab, DON'T go into youtube on another..... [03:23] Geoffrey2: interesting lesson I just learned about CPU scaling. [03:23] I need help with iptables. I have a program that will only listen on port 3784, but 3784 is blocked. I want to direct incoming traffic on port 50001 to 3784, and vice versa.

[03:23] Geoffrey2: I've been having excessive temperature issues, so I have CPU scaling enabled, since most of the time I have way more CPU than I need. So far, it's been keeping it fairly cool. [03:24] hello all can someone help me with this....while using the command route im getting this error : SIOCADDRT: No such process [03:24] amrik, do you know how to get that sweet panel where it looks like the currently selected program in the taskbar is a tab? [03:24] saywatmang: where what ? [03:24] Geoffrey2: However, I just restarted firefox - swiftfox, actually, which may have something to do with this - and some of the pages I had open caused popups (I really hate this, especially since the popups get buried under new windows). [03:24] scapegoat: you have some mention of tftpd in your inetd.conf ? [03:24] kernel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575512 [03:24] MindVirus: no but I am very much interested in the answer to your question. do you have any clues? [03:25] Geoffrey2: I ignored that for 5 or 10 minutes, letting it bring everything up while I did other stuff, then I noticed my CPU scaling was pegged at the max, and my machine was getting much hoter. [03:25] how can I install a font in hardy? [03:25] Geoffrey2: I found/clicked the popups and the CPU dropped to a lower freq and the temp cooled down.

[03:36] f411guy, then I unplugged my mouse and plugged it back in, now nothing works on the USB [03:36] Someguy: if the mouse doesn't 'light up' when you plug it in, then yeah I would go with the mouse being shot [03:36] hmm [03:36] MindVirus: apparently the source is available for it, but i dont think its been packaged up as yet?

[03:39] <`Kermudge> Yikes power flickering outa here. :( [03:39] f411guy, however, I think the entire controller locking is because of me unplugging and plugging in this mouse, that's the common trend [03:39] SeaPhor, what details do you need?

The bluetooth module works in my laptop, but the wireless module, that's triggered by the same switch is not recongized, BUT it is listed in lspci. How can I make this work? [04:21] quad3d-quad: still, 100%? kernel shouldn't be larger than 5mb [04:21] i mean.... it's fine. i fixed it. i'm just wondering why it keeps more than one revision [04:22] jbroome where in firefox? [04:22] i dont see the setting [04:23] quad: i think its in case a newer version causes problems [04:23] Hi, i need some help encoding and burning *.avi files to make a Video DVD.

I have the ndiswrapper and am using the windows xp driver. It works WITHOUT security. WEP, WPA, WPA2 does not work. I tried following the various FAQ's in the forums without success. I tried manual config, auto config, and wpa_supplicant all without success. [04:43] Warlock: is it any different than manually installing apache2, mysql, and php5 from aptitude? [04:44] OK here's my problem. I have a restricted driver that is a graphics accelerator called "GeForce Go 7300." It works when I load generic Ubuntu but not when I load the ubuntu that is optimized for my Processor. When I try to load it in Ubuntu-rt (the ubuntu optimized for my processor) it shows the loading screen but then loads to a blank screen with no sound whatsoever. Even if I press all the keys on the key board or press se [04:44] veral at once with my hands on the keyboard it still makes no sound and nothing comes up on the screen. [04:44] Now you may be asking, "Why not just use generic ubuntu?". Well the problem with generic ubuntu is that i have frequent crashes, freezes and errors. [04:44] If anyone knows anything about this problem please let me know. Your input will be much appreciated. [04:44] i know that ubuntu can invert colors, but i would like it to be for firefox only [04:44] tmapj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:05] first off, lime wire = will get you linched , use azureus with safe peer as plugin [05:05] xerdes: #windows [05:05] Second what was the message you got? [05:05] * xerdes feels dumb [05:05] lol [05:05] Just watch movies online man! [05:05] iceolate: if it were me I'd probably create a user for him on my machine, install openssh-server, then he can access /home/friendsusername using ssh/scp/sftp [05:06] never heard of it. okay, um, i'll go research that in a second. also, don't call me man. [05:06] theman1 i realize that, but it takes up more memory, therefore lowering battery life on my laptop..i was just wondering what most people do. [05:06] astro76: k i created a user for him already. let me install that. [05:06] How bout ftp? [05:06] m_newton: yeah i could use ftp, but i wanted to figure out how to do it directly [05:06] Question, I heard awhile ago, that you had to do "special" things to lengthen the life cycle due to useless read/write cycles on laptops running Ubuntu. True or false? [05:06] Anyone? [05:06] iceolate> ssh? [05:06] iceolate: the direct way is to install openssh-server [05:07] iceolate: create a user for him and you are pretty much set [05:07] iceolate> ssh, lets you connect to your desktop remotel [05:07] INSTALLING NOW [05:07] and for some reason i tried doing that but it won't load. anyway, trying to install it again tells me that there's another package installer running and that i should close that... but there isn't anything running. [05:07] sorry about the caps [05:07] iceolate> but you will have access to all files [05:07] flare, try to restart. [05:07] That might fix it [05:07] did that. didn't work [05:08] You already tried to fully restart? [05:08] what was your error message exactly, cant help if you dont tell... [05:08] so um, i try opening the synaptic and this pops out: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:08] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:08] Flare, did you run that command? [05:08] flare: do it, sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:08] ringer> thats true i just like the look and the little addons that they have for it [05:09] good job !! :) [05:09] i did that, but it said that i had to input my password. and that's where i just got completely stuck [05:09] Input your login password. [05:09] that is the password u use to log in [05:10] yes, i figured that. but i tried typing it, and nothing. [05:10] Hit enter. [05:10] It won't show any text. [05:10] did [05:10] okay. i have installed openssh-server [05:10] /dev/hda1 has /boot on it, it's the first and only drive hooked up. grub got installed to a usb stick, which I later formated, so now I have no grub [05:10] Flare, and did you get a error message? [05:10] hello [05:10] i booted from a live cd - how can I install grub to dev/hda? [05:11] yeah, hold on, i'll tell you what it was in a sec [05:11] iceolate: you'll need to forward port 22 on the router to your machine [05:11] ok [05:11] "command not found" [05:11] , do you need help configureing? [05:11] how can i have access to my other xubuntu pc in the network? [05:12] Oh! [05:12] Hehe... [05:12] yes.. i have two different channels telling me two different things [05:12] vdozen: install openssh-server on it [05:12] Try ' sudo dpkg --configure -a ' [05:12] mac [05:12] u around? [05:12] * flare is confused [05:13] Type that into terminal, and see if you still get the same error. [05:13] ... ok, so you want to use ssh, problem is if you tell your friend you password, they have compleat access!, that is why FTP is best in a LAN [05:13] * flare is cheering [05:13] m_newton: he created a separate user for his friend [05:14] !pm | vdozen [05:14] vdozen: 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. [05:14] Flare, you good? [05:14] ... ok, ssh is good for controlig desktop from scholl, installing update, talking on aim using naim, talking on irc usiong irssi and much more, it is just commandline, so it is hard to copy files without prior knowledge [05:14] i'm not worried about him accessing my files... he's cool [05:14] has anyone had any experience with the Wacom Cintiq tablet on ubuntu? Does it have full functionality like it would on windows or mac? [05:14] yesh! thank you so much! [05:14] No problem. [05:15] I can adjust the monitor and get it down to about an inch, but it won't go any farther [05:15] k. i know how to forward that port. hold on [05:15] my desktop is shifted over a couple of inches on the monitor, with the desktop cutting off on the left, and a black bar on the right side. anyone have a suggestion? [05:15] m_newton, iceolate actually you can open up GUI apps pretty easily including nautilus (file manager), if you connect using ssh -Y or ssh -X [05:15] Flare, if you get a request or demand for you to run something like that, and it comes tied into anyway with Aptitude or Synaptic, you most likely have to sudo (su). [05:16] still don't know what the sudo is for, but i guess that's why it never worked XD [05:16] m_newton: nope, the -X or -Y options enable X11 forwarding [05:16] i had a real problem setting up ftp... before. ideally, i wanted him to be able to open up nautilus, browse to grab his files [05:16] m_newton: and it's dirt simple to use :D [05:16] Ah. [05:16] !sudo [05:16] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:16] There ya go. [05:17] hehehe, thanks. i'm really bad when it comes to programing [05:17] m_newton: there needs to be an X server on the client system [05:17] like? [05:17] m_newton: there are commercial X servers for windows, and also cygwin, but I have never tried that [05:17] m_newton: like X.org if you are running linux ;) [05:18] anyways, night night people. i shall be back (hopefully not in the near future) [05:18] ya, but on windows ls cp and mv are your main men [05:18] at least for ssh -x (no X) lol [05:19] Question, I heard awhile ago, that you had to do "special" things to lengthen the life cycle due to useless read/write cycles on laptops running Ubuntu. True or false? [05:19] Hi, I want to download/install the JDK for mobile devices, the J2ME jdk, is there an Ubuntu way of doing it, or shall I just download it from sun.com and install it as they advise? [05:19] thats why, i got links2 a web broweser in terminal [05:19] m_newton: ok i think i forwarded the port correctly [05:19] How big is a clean installation of Ubuntu? [05:19] m_newton: you're preaching to the choir ;) [05:19] ago : did you check the repo? [05:19] port 22 right? [05:19] yep [05:20] <_Lukstr> Question: Installing ubuntu server, 8.04, it's seems to have crashed at 50% during "Resizing partition..."... Anything I can do?

[05:21] okay [05:21] let me have him try it [05:22] how do i go on about using openssh-server im a noob here and i might be going over my head installing openssh-server [05:22] that's what i'm doing now [05:22] !pm | indra [05:22] alternatively, you can host over the net using no-ip2 [05:22] indra: 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. [05:22] vdozen : its easy to use, just check out the docs and read some info [05:22] with no-ip2 you can connect from everywhere [05:23] iceolate: he needs to use your external ISP given IP address, not the internal one.. also you can only drop the username if his username on the client machine is hte same as his username on your machine [05:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/17073/ guys little bit help my apt is damaged [05:23] has anyone had any experience with the Wacom Cintiq tablet on ubuntu?

It was my first distro, and I learned a lot! [06:30] Jef1: But you have to be willing to invest, um...a lot [06:30] sensae, well, AIUI, you have to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. [06:30] Jef1: then you can have an idea of whether you want your distro based on, whether you prefer gnome/kde/other, etc [06:30] micahcowan: Last time I tried that the metapackage got removed, but nothing inside the metapackge [06:31] Is there any way to install all default ubuntu packages? [06:31] Jef1: *what you want it based on (debian or something else) [06:31] where would i find a good idiots guide to gnome or KDE? [06:31] does edubuntu come in server version? [06:31] zutme: yeah, install the CD [06:31] It would be nice to be able to wipe all GNOME and GTK programs and install KDE without reformatting [06:31] DaemonLee: thats te way to do it when you don jef1 i started with fedora, really any distro that has suppport or forums out there can be okay it just depends how much you are willing to read and how much time you wanna spend setting it up [06:31] Jef1: You don't need a guide for KDE/gnome. [06:31] jbroome, i've already got a working system. i want to find packages i have removed accidentally withouyt wiping out the whole syste [06:31] *sigh..* [06:32] sensae, which can cause problems when you choose to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu (you should first re-install that meta-package, and then you can remove it again afterwards). [06:32] well, im reading stuff on getting my ATI card to work.. but whats a good general "you got linux, now what" ? [06:32] jRd, you'd probably have to look through the nvidia site for a specific fix and there may not be an easy one. Commercial drivers rarely support something for a release candidate, even though the changes that affect their driver are quite minimal. [06:32] micahcowan: Er? Would it just be easier to format and use a KDE disc? lol [06:33] Hello, after installing a .deb package, do I need to keep the .deb file? [06:33] you can usually google, "setting up -fill in distro here" and you should be able to find one [06:33] sensae, right (re: the metapackage not removing other packages). Any additional packages you want removed, you should remove by hand. You could probably use aptitude to automate it, but it might be overzealous. [06:33] micahcowan: Meh, my home directory is mounted over NFS on a FreeBSD system anyway - I'm not losing much, lol. I'll just format. [06:33] iim trying to get my wireless keyboard to work, but, i get it all setup through bluetooth and i try to type and it doesnt work, [06:33] Jef1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404 [06:33] selocol : if you think om one you downloaded from some site then no [06:34] sensae, you might just be able to (1) remove the ubuntu-desktop, (2) edit your apt.sources to point at kubuntu, and (3) install kubuntu-desktop. I'd look for docs on how to do that, though (if there are any). [06:34] how do i know if i have setup my printer right? [06:34] sensae, and you're sure you want KDE? [06:34] kelvin911: does it print? [06:34] danka! ill hope on that now- got oodles of time [06:34] does it print? [06:34] zvacet: if i delete the .deb package, i can still remove the installed program, right? [06:35] micahcowan: I've used Kubuntu before, I usually prefer it. Last time I used it though was 7.10 and I didn't get good hardware support. On a whim I decided to get GNOME a try [06:35] micahcowan: and I forgot how much it annoys me at times, lol [06:35] selocol: yes, you refer to it by its installed package name when uninstalling it [06:36] DVS01: thanks [06:36] np [06:36] selocol :yes [06:37] powertool08: no it doesnt print [06:37] you can look in /var/log/dpkg.log to see your package management activity [06:37] need help configuring unixodbc in hardy 64 bit please [06:37] kelvin911: then i guess its not setup right :P [06:37] kelvin911: what brand/model is it?

[06:51] if i make a version forced in synaptic how can i undo this later? [06:51] Kitu, make normally prints each command as it executes: those messages indicate a failed command. There should at _least_ be a line that indicates what the last, failing command was, unless echoing was explicitly turned off for that command (which would be very unusual, for commands other than echo). [06:52] powertool08: thanks [06:52] micahcowan, i believe that i had not see .. sorry [06:52] powertool08: maybe i will boot back to windows to print [06:52] appaerly I don't have autoconf [06:52] hi [06:52] micahcowan, http://pastebin.com/m70400b2f [06:53] Can anyone help me use gnome-schedule? I'm trying to run transmission at a certain time, and the task will run if I tell it to, but not when scheduled [06:53] include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing." ...

I'm really confused here [06:54] when I use skype video in hardy, I will get high cpu usage, and get high temperature, then get system died, so what's the problem here? [06:54] is there some program let me use python in visual === Rozza|BNC is now known as Rozza5 [06:55] How do i change this command... *grep -rl "helloWorld" . * so that it will also search the hidden files also [06:55] can anyone help with a wireless keyboard problem? [06:55] Ububegin: man grep [06:56] Kitu, the lines noting "erreurs" for qc-driver.c are your problem. [06:56] micahcowan, i believed that installing autoconf package will resolve the problem, but no [06:56] ? [06:56] powertool08: do i need the ppd file? [06:56] why does OOO base crash when i try to create a table in my MySQL linked database file [06:56] nothing "erreurs" ? [06:56] i cant find the ppd file for canon mp210 [06:56] Can anyone help me use gnome-schedule? I'm trying to run transmission at a certain time, and the task will run if I tell it to, but not when scheduled [06:56] Kitu, normally, autoconf is only needed for development versions of software: it generates the "configure" script. If a configure script already exists, autoconf should be unnecessary. [06:57] micahcowan, qc-driver is bugged ? [06:57] eshrickus: Have you read a tut on cron? are you telling cron to use the same command to lauch that you are? [06:57] I keep getting a "unable to find the kernal source tree for the currently running kernel." Error when trying to install the latest nvidia drivers? Any ideas? [06:58] Kitu, could you do me a favor and run your make command, but prepend "LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE= " at the very beginning, and prepend the results? [06:58] * prepend the results -> pastebin [06:58] Rabbitbunny: there's no mention of hidden files in man grep [06:58] Rabbitbunny, I'm using the schedule GUI, and the command is "transmission", which runs if i tell it run task, but not when it is scheduled to [06:58] Kitu, the intended consequence is that that action should produce error messages in English, which I'll be better able to analyze. :) [06:58] Ububegin: Then your next step is going to be Google. [06:58] eshrickus: Open a terminal and run that command. [06:59] powertool08: i got it to work [06:59] Rabbitbunny, does as it is supposed to [06:59] powertool08: i have to manually search for a file in /usr/share/ppd [07:00] powertool08: i wonder why there isnt any manual or instruction.... [07:00] eshrickus: I would look into timing next, check the cron entries vie CLI, I had problems with gnome-scedule. [07:00] micahcowan, make "LC_ALL = C LANGUAGE ="french" ? [07:00] how do i install flash player- ive downloaded and extracted it to my desktop [07:00] ? [07:00] Rabbitbunny, i'll try that, but do you recommend any scheduling GUI? [07:00] hum [07:00] wait [07:00] help me please [07:00] i see only the desktop, nothing else [07:00] How do i change this command... *grep -rl "helloWorld" . * so that it will also search the hidden files also ... Anyone else knows the answer to this problem.. thanks [07:01] no menu, no launchers, nothing [07:01] i can't start any applications either [07:01] eshrickus: I didn't bother looking, the CLI is my preferred interface. [07:01] Kitu, no spaces around the = symbols, and leave the one after LANGUAGE blank on the right side (the "LANGUAGE=" bit may not be necessary, actually). [07:01] it's good, i paste [07:01] I seem to have issues with my dialog boxes [07:01] micahcowan, http://rafb.net/p/tfILWb84.html [07:01] sometimes they're too big and long and I cant scroll down [07:01] Ububegin, add .[!.]* as an extra argument [07:02] (".* would also work, Ububegin, but it would include the . and .. entries as well, which you don't want) [07:02] Kitu: "LC_ALL=C make", without the quotes. [07:03] micahcowan : grep -rl "helloWorld" .[!.]* do you mean this... [07:03] micahcowan, show me the command entierly [07:03] LC_ALL=C make [07:03] ok [07:03] lol [07:03] Ububegin, grep -rl "helloWorld" * .[!.]* [07:03] nm- i figured it out. I had to run it in terminal instead [07:03] euh [07:04] has anybody been able to get an ATI AIW 9000 card to work on ubuntu? [07:04] micahcowan, in fact there is a ubuntu package lol [07:04] it's more simple i thing :) === kacong is now known as arief_hy === arief_hy is now known as kacong [07:04] i still need help... [07:04] Kitu, yes, and will be managed better, with the package system. [07:05] and i am "pressed" [07:05] thank you micahcowan [07:05] hey all, got a fairly specific question. will the fujitsu scan snap s300 work out of the box with ubuntu? if so, what app will work with it??? [07:05] Rozza, sorry :( ...you might try the support mailing list at https://lists.ubuntu.com/#Community+Support [07:05] Kitu, yw [07:06] hey all, got a fairly specific question. will the fujitsu scan snap s300 work out of the box with ubuntu 7.10? if so, what app will work with it??? [07:07] Hey, Ubuntu will no longer detect my Nvidia videocard (its a 6600) It saids its Unknown! It was known before a restart! WTF? [07:07] Panik: wrt large dialog boxes: try holding alt and then click-dragging on the window. [07:08] ... [07:08] styles, hm, there was a linux kernel upgrade in my update manager today... that could be the cause? [07:08] Might need to select the older kernel for now in Grub, and perhaps report a bug if that fixes it. [07:08] zgmf-x13a: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-FUJITSU search that page for "s300" and you'll see, yes. [07:08] My laptop came with a remote and 'infrared remote control' doesn't auto detect. [07:09] How do i upgrade to kubuntu without reinstalling evreything? [07:09] All i get is Could not find any IR receiver. Is your device attached? [07:09] micahcowan: no it was before todays kernal upgrade. I havnt gotten around to figure out what it was. But it didn't fix / change anything. I know the cards not dead too because I can play games fine on my windows partition. [07:09] styles, or, perhaps your package update was incomplete (missed the new restricted drivers) [07:09] oh [07:09] ok anyone, I have a server currently running dapper-drake and im trying to dist-upgrade to hardy but it halts with error (removing ubuntu-desktop but package under blacklist) error an essential package would have been removed [07:09] micahcowan: how do I check my restricted drivers and such? [07:09] How do i upgrade to kubuntu without reinstalling evreything?... [07:09] Rozza upgrade to kubuntu? [07:10] how [07:10] meaning you have ubuntu now? [07:10] in synaptic instal kubuntu-desktop [07:10] styles, surely _something_ must have changed between when it worked and when it stopped working? [07:10] Rozza, google it. You disable gnome and enable what ever GUI shit Kabuntu runs [07:10] Rozza : sudo aptitide kubuntu-desktop [07:10] micahcowan: my xconf file is all fucked up atm.. I Looked at it ealier. I want to just reset it [07:10] !langauge | styles [07:10] styles: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:11] Flannel: sorry [07:11] Rozza: If you're looking to remove Ubuntu at the same time, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [07:11] sudo: aptitide: command not found [07:11] Rozza: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [07:11] Rozza : my mistake it is aptitude [07:12] Oh [07:12] =p [07:12] dubby, hm... as I understand it, you want to upgrade a version of Ubuntu only to the following version, and not directly across versions. So, to edgy eft, first, and so on. I think? ...I'll probably be in your shoes, too, before long; my VPS is running dapper. [07:12] Flannel: hey thanks for the link checking it out now, didnt come across it in my search so far. [07:12] I was wondering if you can run CS2 in hardy and if so can someone point in to a nice walkthrough? [07:12] yeah from dapper to hardy [07:12] styles, why is it messed up? Did you edit it, or it somehow got corrupted? [07:13] Where is the list of Hardy repository mirrors again? [07:13] !mirrors [07:13] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [07:13] its giving me a blacklist error saying ubuntu-desktop is marked for removal but is in removal blacklist [07:13] micahcowan: idk it must have been corrupted... [07:13] thanks. :) [07:13] Rabbitbunny: could you give me an example of a crontab entry? [07:13] then ends with error :dist-upgrade failed an essential package would have been removed [07:13] micahcowan: It seems to be missing the information about nvidia. [07:13] dubby... ubuntu-desktop?! That shouldn't be removed... You're sure you switched to the right sources in apt.sources? [07:13] hi i am used to programming in fedora [07:13] thanks guys, [07:14] dubby: which GUI are you using (if any?) [07:14] nickolaus : look under wine subforum at the http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php [07:14] i tried compiling C program in ubuntu [07:14] none [07:14] terminal [07:14] it says stdio.h not found [07:14] styles, hm, I dunno, maybe try dpkg-reconfigure ing some likely packages? :\ [07:14] please help [07:14] apt-get dist-upgrade [07:14] shishirm1, apt-get install build-essential [07:14] anyone have experience with VMWare Workstation? I've currently got interface vmnet0 bridged to eth0, so shouldn't I see a "vmnet0" listed when I run 'ifconfig'? [07:14] micahcowan: :( [07:14] micahcowan: is that a package? [07:14] dubby: Alright, and did update-manager-core not work for you? [07:15] that is correct update-manager core did not work for me [07:15] i installed that package [07:15] micahcowan: how do I get a list of packages [07:15] shishirm1, a meta-package, yeah. It pulls in various things that are generally required to compile things. Presumably you have gcc, but you're currently missing libc development headers. You may be missing other things as well; build-essential will get it in 1 go. [07:15] nickolaus : http://appdb.winehq.org/ [07:15] dubby: Alright, make sure you have ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and the metapackage for your kernel installed. (linux-[something] usually) [07:15] I installed the package, ran do-release-upgrade -d [07:16] micahcowan : thanks man... initially , when i googled, i saw pple combining the find comand and such.. your solution is pretty sweet.. [07:16] zvacet there is not a single entry about photoshop :( [07:16] styles, well, I was thinking, run that for the nvidia drivers and xorg-core (or whatever its called). I'm afraid I'm not sure how you should proceed :( [07:16] is it possible a system update would remove a program for some reason? [07:16] Ububegin, in some ways find might be easier to understand... but you'd want the -maxdepth option for it. [07:17] nickolaus : did you look second link [07:17] Ububegin, FYI, .[!.]* expands to any filenames that start with a dot, then a non-dot, and then any number of possible extra characters. [07:17] ubuntu-standard 0.120, ubuntu-minimal 0.120, and a couple nice linux images 2.6.15-51.66 [07:17] Lapinux: It is possible with apt, but there aren't many (if any) cases of those situations in the repos [07:17] zvacet haha no I missed that. thanks alot. Big help ;) [07:17] i did some updates here today and yesterday and i notice azureus is no longer installed [07:18] anyone know how to see all the files that a particular package owns? [07:18] dubby: Which kernels are you using? linux-686? -server? [07:18] hi again [07:18] and i know i didnt uninstall it [07:18] can you help me guys? I see the desktop, nothing else [07:18] toyo|desk, dpkg -L package-name [07:18] toyo|desk: dpkg -L package [07:18] haha [07:18] yes im using the 686 server [07:18] nice [07:18] thanks guys [07:18] dubby: the server kernel? [07:18] toyo|desk, dpkg -S /path/to/file for the reverse. [07:18] yes the server kernal [07:18] micahcowan, alright I will have to keep that in mind [07:18] nickolaus : you didn´t even try to type cs2 on the first link http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=42492177 [07:19] I know the equivalent in rpm distros [07:19] linux-image-server 2.6.15.52 [07:19] dubby: alright, make sure you have linux-server installed [07:19] just not deb [07:19] :P [07:19] linux-server 2.6.15.52 checkaroo [07:19] rpm -f or rpm -l [07:19] hello? [07:19] I always have to man rpm for that stuff, toyo|desk :) [07:19] ah [07:19] I work with suse all day at work [07:19] :P [07:20] dubby: Alright, now change your sources.list from dapper to hardy, update, and dist-upgrade [07:20] micahcowan: I'm just doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [07:20] Flannel: well, when i went to reinstall it via synaptic i see it wanted to remove gcywebplugin and install some openjdk packages [07:20] maybe it had something to do with that [07:20] toyo|desk, FYI, the docs on those are in dpkg-query(1); dpkg-query -L works just as well, but dpkg is shorthand. [07:20] Lapinux: reinstall what? [07:20] ah alright [07:21] Flannel: azureus, the program that mysteriously got removed on me [07:21] styles, the thing is, I'm not at all convinced that will even redo a file like xorg.conf. But it's worth a shot, anyhoo. [07:21] eshrickus: Search first, ask second. [07:21] micahcowan: ok [07:23] Lapinux: the only reason it'd get removed is if its depends weren't satisfied, java packaging is complicated with all the different versions, and its concievable that something got messed up [07:23] Flannel: must be.... ;) [07:27] micahcowan:thanks [07:28] Lapinux : in synaptic find sun-java6-jre and install it see if azureus work after that [07:29] man this update i dread... this specific server is our samba server that is in control of our entire domain practically all windows logins are through this server [07:29] i did sudo apt-get upgrade. and i get this "following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linuxheaders-generic linuximage-generic linuxrestrictedmodules-generic. what should i do? [07:29] if my cd rom says [07:30] if my cd rom says CD-RW/DVD +RW drive is it a dvd burner? [07:30] lol [07:30] Panik : yes [07:30] tech, just do as it says, if it needs to upgrade again it will do so the next time. [07:30] Panik: yes [07:30] Panik: yes [07:30] hey, what's up? [07:30] lol [07:30] YEY [07:30] I HAVE A DVD BURNER [07:30] :D [07:30] Panik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:30] Panik : good for you [07:31] lol [07:31] Can the ubuntu live/install DVD resize an NTFS partition nondestructively? [07:31] bocaneri: yes, defrag first [07:31] Alan_M: so i shouldn't do sudo apt-get distupgrade? should i wait til it's available? [07:31] tech0007, aparently you couldnt upgrade the kernel images right at that moment because they conflicted with other package you were downloading, somehow. [07:31] bocaneri : defrag few times just in case [07:31] Alan_M: ok thanks [07:32] Hello is the some one who can help me about limits.conf ? [07:32] Understood. Does this apply for... what was it? 6.06? I can't remember what I used six months ago! [07:32] tech0007, it did that to me a lot when i was testing hardy out, but thats a different story and im going OT, sorry Flannel :D [07:32] I want to limit the memory usage of one process [07:32] \ nick paingan88? [07:33] ZRegis, you can use ulimit to do that... it will crash if it uses more memory than that. [07:33] Alan_M: What? tech0007, no, do a dist-upgrade [07:33] CHocolate, its /nick [07:33] tech0007: "apt-get upgrade" won't install new depends, you need dist-upgrade for that. [07:33] ZRegis, or maybe I'm thinking of disk quotas for the crash. [07:33] micahcowan: but the is no man for ulimit ! [07:33] Flannel, i didnt answer because i didnt know, i wasnt ignoring you tech0007, sorry man :) [07:33] Flannel: so are you saying the kernel upgrade is stable? [07:34] tech0007, yeah [07:34] micahcowan: I'm not using many files [07:34] ZRegis, I was thinking of the disk space, memory will just fail to allocate. ...my system has a manpage for ulimit. But try "help ulimit" as well... [07:34] tech0007: Assuming you don't have -proposed enabled, yes [07:34] tech0007, unless otherwise noted with Backports, kernel upgrades are stable. [07:34] micahcowan: It's a router program many memory and many sockets [07:35] ZRegis, the key is, though, you don't want to run ulimit directly in your shell: it will limit the memory for the shell you're running it in, and any other files you run. [07:35] Flannel: let me check my sources.list [07:35] micahcowan: Ok i get help ulimit [07:35] ZRegis, better to type "( ulimit -m SIZE; cmd; )"; the parens force the command to run under a separate shell. [07:36] ZRegis, I'm not sure if -m is what you want; it might be -v or -d [07:36] Flannel, im going to bed, so you can fully take over tech0007's case if you wish :D [07:36] Alan_M: night [07:36] Flannel: can you check my sources.list? [07:36] Alan_M: thanks man [07:36] tech0007: pastebin them, sure. [07:37] micahcowan: it's my problem whats the difference between this all type of memory [07:37] micahcowan: ;-) [07:37] ZRegis, tbh I'm a little fuzzy on some of that myself. [07:37] Can I use a Firefox Thunderbird Thawte X.509 certificate in Lotus Notes? [07:37] micahcowan: I've 512 Mo of RAM and I don't wont this process use more than 256 Mo [07:38] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17123/ [07:38] see you later [07:38] micahcowan: No problem for swap [07:38] ZRegis, right. I think you want -m. [07:39] tech0007: Yep, you're good. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:39] Flannel: thanks! brb [07:39] micahcowan: ulimit can be applyied on e running porcess [07:39] tech0007: you'll always need to dist-upgrade for kernel updates, for the abovementioned reasons (new depends) [07:39] I am running Lotus Notes 8.5 on Ubuntu 8.10 LTS [07:39] ZRegis, how? There's no option for providing a pid. [07:40] It will apply to all processes spawned by the current shell instance. And the instance itself, I believe. [07:41] micahcowan: Well Well [07:41] micahcowan: my program is a daemon process [07:41] micahcowan: :-( [07:41] The other odd thing is that when I try to connect to the https thawte site I get an error:... [07:42] This document cannot be displayed unless you install the Personal Security Manager (PSM) [07:42] ZRegis, not a problem, so long as you invoke ulimit in the init.d script (or whatever) that spawns it. You may want to use -h, so ulimit sets the hard limit (so no process can set it back). [07:42] What is the PSM in ubuntu? [07:42] ZRegis, naturally, you'd need to restart the daemon [07:43] micahcowan: Ok so syntax is ulimit -m 512M /usr/bin/processname [07:43] micahcowan: Ok so syntax is ulimit -m 256M /usr/bin/processname [07:43] Flannel: i have a bluescreen..its asking me what i want to do with the menu.lst? [07:44] tech0007: What are your options? Update, not update, manually resolve? [07:44] can anyone tell me a good front end for lm_sensors? [07:44] ZRegis, it doesn't take a process name: it affects the current shell process and its children, there's no other options. And, I'm not sure it takes suffixes like "M"; my help output says it's increments of 1k. So, something like 256000 I think. [07:44] Flannel: isntall package maintainers version, keep the local version currently installed (highlighted), show the differences b/w versions [07:45] tech0007: what have you manually edited in your menu.lst? [07:45] Or $((256 * 1024)) [07:45] Flannel: tried booting from livecd of Fedora9 but it didnt work [07:46] Flannel: i added F9 to the menu.lst [07:46] micahcowan: Thanks ==> in the same process ulimit -m 256000 than /usr/bin/processname ? Is that good ? [07:46] tech0007: Where did you add it? after the ### End debian automatic kernels list? or not? [07:46] can anyone tell me a good front end for lm_sensors? [07:46] ZRegis, yes, that should be good. Throw in -H for good measure, in ulimit. [07:47] Flannel: before ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST...its rihgt below the 2.6.24-17 kernel [07:47] tech0007: Right now, why don't you back up your menu.lst, then install the package maintainers version, and then we'll merge them manually later (this isn't a life or death thing) [07:47] tech0007: just copy it to your home folder [07:47] anyone know how my laptop can find the on-board receiver? [07:47] micahcowan: Thanks a lot for your help :-) [07:47] ZRegis, yw === led is now known as ledmushroom [07:48] how can i boot ubuntu if i already have linux mint and windows in the same computer> [07:48] im stuck! === orgthingy is now known as Mhdivyan [07:48] Flannel: ok, but i dont want to keep F9 anymore === redspike_ is now known as redspike [07:48] tech0007: Ah, alright, go ahead and just do the package maintainers version then [07:49] orgthingy, LiveCD? [07:49] ZRegis, hang on [07:49] Use of Webmin on Ubuntu is discouraged and eBox should be used intead, right? [07:49] <_eMaX_> hi [07:49] Mhdivyan: Triple boot is no big deal [07:49] mvinsc: yes [07:49] <_eMaX_> is it possible to run gksu without gnome-keyring? [07:49] im having problems with it xD [07:49] hello === ledmushroom is now known as Thefoot [07:50] it doesnt boot! [07:50] hai [07:50] micahcowan: Ok [07:50] ZRegis, hm, it doesn't seem to work for me when I give -H, but does without. [07:50] Mhdivyan: did you check for defects? [07:50] why if now i type host domain i see different things from the old host command ? [07:50] Flannel: done..i only see -17 and -18 in the menu.lst. guess i should keep -17 for a while til my next reboot? [07:50] defects? [07:51] ZRegis, doesn't matter, looks like it sets the hard limit by default. [07:51] micahcowan: 8-) [07:51] on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp. [07:51] tech0007: It's usually a good idea to keep an old kernel around (even after the first reboot), since you never know when you'll run into a regression [07:51] hi... [07:52] Flannel: ok. tnx a lot. [07:52] tech0007: and it's not always apparent after a few hours of usage. I always keep at least two kernels (partially due to laziness). A few extra kernels don't hurt (well, unless you're really strapped for disk space) [07:53] can someone help me with this: http://pastebin.com/d42ffabd0 ...it's about host command [07:54] bash/readline has a problem with multi-byte characters even though I have set LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 [07:54] is there something else I need to set? [07:54] if I run ‘locale’ in bash, I get UTF-8 for all the values [07:54] Flannel: one last question, u think the devs will include FF3 final and OOO3 final at some later time in hardy? [07:54] Flannel: or will they wait til Intrepid [07:54] allan, what terminal are you using, gnome-terminal? [07:54] tech0007: FF3 will be, no idea about OOo. [07:55] tech0007: FF3, assumming its released in the next couple of weeks, should be in time for 8.04.1 [07:55] Flannel: hmmm...hardy will be the best OS ever (for me) if they can do that... [07:56] <_eMaX_> is it possible to run gksu without gnome-keyring? [07:56] micahcowan: Terminal.app on OS X [07:56] * Thefoot note to self never use kleansweep and let it remove everything as I will have to reinstall everything yet again [07:56] i.e. I ssh into the ubuntu machine [07:57] <_eMaX_> if I want to install gksu using apt-get it asks me to install gnome-keyring. OTOH, gnome-keyring makes evolution largely unusable, so I don#t want to use gnome-keyring as I don't know how to tell evolution not to use gnome-keyring [07:57] allan, hm... when you ssh, what's the value of $TERM? [07:57] G'Day mates [07:57] xterm [07:57] I cant seem to get JACK to cooperate [07:57] I am trying to run DJPlay. Everything seems to run okay, but NO SOUND!!! === rage__ is now known as rage [07:58] allan, what's an example of the problem you encounter? [07:58] how can i change BIOS setup UTILITY ? [07:59] _eMaX_: You can't install gksu without gnome-keyring, no. You could use kdesu instead [07:59] Any ideas? [07:59] Mhdivyan: what do you want to change in the bios? [07:59] tech0007: i want it to boot from CD when i turn on the PC [07:59] micahcowan: e.g. if I type (in bash): echo "æble" and press arrow left repeatedly, I can move the cursor 12 characters back, even though I only typed 11 [08:00] Jack's not working on Realtek HD audio [08:00] so basically the problem is with editing a line that contains multi-byte characters [08:00] Mhdivyan: depends on your PC, you need to press F2, Delete, etc to get into the bios... [08:00] are the pc games that can be bought for linux or ubuntu? like there is for windows [08:00] bash/readline will render them correctly, but moving the cursor will move only single bytes [08:00] k [08:00] bye [08:00] allan, the output of "stty -a", does it have iutf8 set? [08:01] hello, small question, can I set margins before printing a mail from evolution? [08:01] default margins are too small, i cant punch and file them. [08:01] Or does anyone remember the Chat for Audio? [08:01] micahcowan: I see -iutf8 (in that output) [08:02] are ther pc games for linux [08:02] !games | neil [08:02] neil: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [08:02] allan, try typing "stty iutf8", and see if the situation improves? [08:02] micahcowan: but… I think I got nearer the problem, when I type ‘locale’ it actually outputs this error: [08:02] locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory [08:02] locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory [08:02] locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [08:02] allan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:02] I hadn’t noticed that before [08:02] No help? No ones knows the Ubuntu Audio chat? [08:03] allan, Hm. What's "locale -a" give? [08:03] neil: Are you convinced you need to pay for your games? A lot of retail games can be played through wine. But there are a bunch that are free too. [08:03] hey, im pretty new to ubuntu, is there anyway i can program .net in ubuntu? [08:04] jcaspe: mono [08:04] allan, and, does a file /etc/default/locale exist? [08:04] Well guess I'll have to figure this out myself. [08:04] Ta [08:04] micahcowan: no such file [08:04] jcaspe: mono is a .net framework, that is. As for where to program, I'm not quite sure if there's a preferred IDE or what [08:04] micahcowan: locale -a shows C and POSIX [08:04] hai [08:04] micahcowan, yes it does exist [08:05] allan, browse to it in nautilus [08:05] everytime I do a kernel update it adds two new lines to grub [08:05] how do I prevent this? === frame10_ is now known as sayyya [08:05] allan, try "sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8". [08:05] malv, when they release the next full kernel they will be removed or you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:05] does anyone know how to set margins before printing in evolution [08:05] Or whatever locale is appropriate. [08:06] ??? [08:06] ok [08:06] And then verify that that locale then exists in "locale -a" [08:06] hello gents...can anyone give me any leads on what might be causing the error pictured here http://chadjohnson.ath.cx/error.jpg ? This happens when I resume from suspend with a Turion X2 on Mint Linux Elyssa (based on Hardy) [08:06] malv: open /boot/grub/menu.list, and change # howmany=all to a number that you are comfortable with, but keep the # [08:06] Flannel: i going to check it out...:) [08:06] micahcowan: that fixed it, thanks a lot! [08:06] !mintsupport | skeftomai [08:06] skeftomai: Linux Mint is not a supported derivitve of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [08:07] allan, yw! [08:07] ah, thanks [08:07] assuming this is not distro-specific though, anyone seen this error? [08:08] skeftomai, unfortunately, suspend/resume tends to be sketchy on some laptops, and need tweaking (or just can't be made to work). You'll really need to try the linuxmint folks, I think. [08:08] ok. thanks [08:10] hi [08:10] hi [08:10] whats up Flice ? [08:11] server widy [08:11] !server [08:11] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [08:11] I've got a problem with the power-up/shutdown screens with the progress bar. the graphics there are corrupted (due to issues with the video card/monitor). is there any way I can override their default video mode with something akin to my modeline in xorg.conf? [08:12] Hello. How I can crypt my e-mail letters with ubuntu? [08:12] habit: i use evolution [08:12] Isn't the options for that in the GRUB config, flice [08:13] Can I mount in a mounted directory? (As an example, I mount /media/disk then /media/disk/anothermount) [08:13] tech0007, can you help me? I cannot find option for crypting. [08:13] misha_, I think not. as far as my knowledge goes, it has something to do with initrd [08:13] oh.. was wondering what exact screens you were talking about [08:14] (Confusion kills) [08:14] habit: sure, you need to make a gpg encryption key first [08:14] misha_, sorry for that [08:14] tech0007, I have one. [08:14] Flisha, mebbe edit usplash.conf, then run sudo update-initramfs? [08:14] Flice ^ [08:15] micahcowan, erm. never heard of usplash.conf before :) [08:15] habit: then u setup evolution. go to edit-> preferences, then your mail account [08:15] Hm, it's late... Flice + misha_ = Flisha, apparently. [08:15] any one else have a problem like this? whenever there is a kernel upgrade i get a grub error 15 and have to go in and edit grub so it says root (hd0,0) becaust it changes it to root (hd1,0) [08:15] * Bodsda wow,.,.this place is odly quiet today [08:15] micahcowan, hehe :) [08:16] legend2440, that shouldnt be happening unless your changing mounted device location or manually editing menu.lst -- not sure whats causing it though [08:16] micahcowan, that's a start. the problem is - I need a very special modeline, not just resolution [08:16] legend2440: You need to change it in the comments at the top. [08:16] micahcowan, well, perhaps I can use a lower resolution, though.. will check it out [08:16] on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp. [08:16] Hi. Can I kill seahorse-agent ? [08:17] yes [08:17] legend2440: more specifically, the groot line [08:17] Hi. Can I disable seahorse-agent ? [08:18] what is seahorse-agent? indio [08:18] Bob24, will depend on the ftp server you're using, etc. === Idefix is now known as BezNalogov [08:18] micahcowan, thanks [08:18] im using purftp [08:18] indio, for my part, I ensure that I unset GNUPG_AGENT. [08:19] micahcowan, will the settings bet kept over kernel updates? [08:19] s/bet/be/ [08:19] Flannel: ok my grot line says # groot=(hd1,0) so i should change that to # groot=(hd0,0). correct? but i should leave the # there right? [08:19] legend2440: correct. [08:19] micahcowan: How did you do that ? [08:19] legend2440, yes [08:19] Flannel: thank you [08:20] legend2440: After that, you can sudo update-grub to regenerate, and verify that that fixed it [08:20] arg. I selected an audio file to delete. And it did the preview business. But it kept playing after I delete it. It's like 20 minutes long, how do I make it shut up? [08:20] indio, I have "unset GPG_AGENT_INFO" in my .bashrc, seems to do the trick for me. [08:20] *deleted [08:20] flannel ok ty [08:20] micahcowan: Thanks. [08:20] indio, causing problems for you with Thunderbird/Enigma? (that was my prob) [08:20] caesa1, open terminal killall [08:20] micahcowan: Using too much memory. [08:20] Flice, I don't really know. I'd hope so. [08:21] I have no idea what plays it though. what plays the sound in the audio preview? [08:21] indio. Oh, then my solution maybe isn't what you need. [08:21] it just prevents other things from _talking_ to it. [08:21] micahcowan, well, thanks again [08:21] i want help [08:21] abt my printer [08:21] caesa1, what is audio preview -- i dont seem to have that option [08:22] hello everyone! I'm pretty new to ubuntu. I wanted to removed the old windows at my pc and changed it with ubuntu. The problems is: can i run photoshop cs2, dreamweaver, and flash in ubuntu. [08:22] aaaaaaaaaa -- your not gonna get it with attitude like that [08:22] Bodsda, it's enabled by default, I think. It's annoying, IMO: first thing I do usually is switch that off in nautilus' preferences (the Previews tab, I think). [08:22] my sound driver keeps randomly crashing for no reason, and it causes my media player to crash, and nothing will run well unitl i reboot [08:22] jcaspe, dreamweaver -- some not the lates -- flash yes -- photoshop maybe through wine [08:23] my printer is nt working [08:23] !elaborate | aaaaaaaaaa [08:23] aaaaaaaaaa: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [08:23] jcaspe: Check out wine. You'll have to research the various programs, winehq.org [08:23] caesa1, see micahcowan's post a few posts up [08:23] OFF TOPIC: Anybody here from pakistan. Need some help!

[08:24] Bodsda, well, yeah, but I don't know if that will help him with the 20 min one that's still playing. Except, caesa1, I think that preview tab just might mention/configure what program is used to do those previews, in which case you can follow Bodsda's kill advice. [08:24] Bodsda, you can send private messages fot bot. [08:24] sorry didn't have better room [08:24] my sound driver keeps randomly crashing for no reason, and it causes my media player to crash, and nothing will run well unitl i reboot, anyone have any suggestions?

[08:40] chmac, do you mean, they offer that as one of their standard installation options? [08:40] chmac, if they sell 64 then it will support 64 [08:40] Bodsda: No graphics, we're not installing X, it's an 8.04 server install [08:40] WHAT IS THE CHANNEL FOR POWERPC HELP? === Co_Maziv is now known as cE^cAnTiQuE [08:40] chmac, then theres no need for 64 tbh [08:40] micahcowan: Yep, we can choose between 32 and 64 bit, pre-installed [08:40] !shout | doomba [08:40] Bodsda: Ok, in which case 32 bit is probably simpler, it only has 1Gb of ram [08:40] doomba: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:40] styles: the drivers don't need to be uninstalled. it resets the configuration to the default used by the install.

I hate reinstalls [08:56] mgolisch : i got that ; but what are runlevels ? [08:56] since bodsda isnt here, can someone else help me with a problem im having with installation? [08:57] doomba, BOO [08:57] WOAH [08:57] styles: can you dump up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well [08:57] Ok, got it [08:57] peitschie: sure [08:57] #ubuntu-dk [08:57] how do you open and install things like aim and yahoo [08:57] britta: god idé :) [08:57] Xaphoo: generally proposed is for ones that haven't been thoroughly tested yet. so unless you have a dying desire to be on the cutting edge i'd leave them out :) [08:58] peitschie: http://www.ampaste.net/239049 [08:58] so, i type live and hit enter, says something about the kernel then says loading ramdisk...then goes to a white screen where the text ends with a line that says 'returning from prom_init' [08:58] nå, jeg er ikke alene :) er der ikke en dk chat kanal? [08:58] james: have you heard of Pidgin? [08:58] britta: jep, #ubuntu-dk [08:58] :) [08:58] james: you shouldn't need aim + yahoo etc. as pidgin supports it all [08:58] doomba, that doesnt mean anything to me im afraid [08:58] peitschie: ok.. I guess I'm just over-eager for Firefox 3 :) [08:58] hm, det var det jeg prøvede. er ikke for skrap til dette. === led is now known as DigitalX [08:58] then another black screen comes up with two lines reading cannot allocate 'rescource region of 0 device 0001:10:19.o [08:58] Xaphoo, you can download RC1 from the firefox site [08:58] 19.0 === DigitalX is now known as TheFoot [08:59] /j #ubuntu-dk i det her vindue, hvis du bruger irssi. [08:59] doomba, so do you have a normal gui session? [08:59] Xaphoo: are you running Ubuntu Hardy? either way.. just wait a few weeks and it should filter into the main repos :) [08:59] :)) aner ikke om jeg gør... [08:59] im running osx fine right now [08:59] britta: prøv bare alligevel :) [08:59] doomba, but no ubuntu? [08:59] no [08:59] styles: what kind of monitor do you have? [08:59] doomba, anything important on your ubuntu partition? [09:00] yeah running hardy.. don't want to mess with a manual install, if it's not in a deb [09:00] peitschie: its an HP w2207 [09:00] I'll just wait [09:00] after the cannot allocate it says loading please wait and then goes to the half and half screen. I don't have my hdd partitioned [09:00] Xaphoo: i'd just wait then... it won't be long :) [09:00] i didnt think it was necessary? [09:00] peitschie: it is supported, I've seen it in the list, but it never takes affect. whenever I choose it manually. [09:00] Xaphoo, you download the file from the site then cd to it in terminal and type ./firefox -- nothing else needed [09:00] doomba, i would suggest reinstalling [09:01] it never even got to the installing part though [09:01] doomba, you mean you cant boot the live cd? [09:01] styles: the problems being around line 1698 in ur pasted log file [09:01] Has anyone tried the new Lenovo IdeaPads? [09:02] i guess. i mean, my computer interacts with it but says it cant allocate something so it just trips out and goes to a weird screen [09:02] so i guess it's not booting properly [09:02] doomba, maybe a bad iso -- redownload and reburn and maybe try the alternate installer [09:02] peitschie: haha I have no idea what those logs mean for the most part, I see a ton of offsets and stuff, but re guarding Linux, I have no idea, windows I might have a clue but heh [09:02] thanks buddy [09:02] doomba, sorry its not better news [09:03] anyone have a link or know how to find the ubuntu ISO for powerpc? [09:03] styles: that log file you dumped is showing its attempts to load the driver, then read the supported display resolutions etc. there is a lot of crap i dont understand either lol but you learn to filter that out :D [09:03] ppc macs [09:03] I've been facing some problems with Emesene and Amarok lately, they keep crashing on me and the only solution to fix them is by rebooting the whole system, can someone help me please? [09:04] or have a direct link to the forums...i cant even find the forums on this website [09:05] TuxPWNZ: are you fully updated? [09:05] styles: does it revert you back to the safe-mode graphics or just dump you at the command line? [09:05] nm, found the forums [09:05] peitschie: safe mode gfx, its resolution is 800x600 [09:06] : Yeah, I guess, I've just updated the system earlier this morning, but I'm not so sure though. [09:06] : Do I try doing a manual update? [09:06] TuxPWNZ: i would [09:06] I just dist-upgraded to a new kernel which has been offered this morning. A window showed me status messages during this process. What file stores these status messages? [09:07] TuxPWNZ: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [09:07] : Okay, thanks for your time friend. :) [09:07] this is gay...i only have on blank cd left [09:07] and dont know exactly what to dl [09:07] np bro, always update man :) [09:07] styles: cool. it looks like currently the system isn't even trying 2 load the nvidia driver! [09:08] styles: see at line 388... it starts saying VESA(0).. this should actually be doing something like NVIDIA(0) [09:08] peitschie: Yeah I was guessing that sine they have "tests" via terminal to see if it works. [09:08] peitschie: How can I resolve this? I was trying to uninstall it. I used Envy to install the drivers. [09:08] i just got my disc in the mail im going thru everything now for the 1st time got all the updates but still learning it all how do you get rid of cookies and things like that and how do i get mcafee on here [09:08] styles: i'm workin on it :) [09:08] peitschie: Thx :D [09:09] styles: do you mind if we spin off into a private chat room? [09:09] is anyone familiar with iptables-control.conf? [09:09] help i cant get anything but 800x600 resolution, and have tried most everything the forums have said [09:09] is anyone familiar with iptables-control ? === sean is now known as Guest43845 [09:09] peitschie: nope not at all you can even pm me if you like. [09:10] Dani_: iptables is very powerful, you can really screw your network if its misconfigured, but get it right and your system will be tiiiiight [09:10] Why my ubuntu become annoying? [09:10] tom__: what kind of graphics card do you have? [09:10] !iptables | Dani_ [09:10] Dani_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:10] All looks so shapr. === torner_ is now known as torner [09:10] *sharp. [09:11] It's all because my monitor or my VGA. [09:11] james_mcaffee is a windows program. won't work on linux. but the good news is you don't need virus software on linux [09:11] s3 savageddr but the xorg.conf file doesnt say anything [09:11] cool [09:11] integrated graphics [09:11] Too bright and too sharp. [09:11] ok I have ran the remastersys and made a back up but I dont know what to do with it now there appears to be no iso to burn [09:12] How can I fix it? [09:12] tom__: most of the time Xserver will autodetect without needing nay help from the xorg.conf file [09:12] It's not like this yesterday. [09:13] james_: as far as cookies goes. in firefox click Tools on top panel then Clear Private Data and click box next to Cookies if you want to delete them [09:13] i redid the hard drive and whipped it only os ive got now is the linux i like it but i was wondering if i needed to run the windows disc now [09:13] Hello.

[09:17] !appdb [09:17] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [09:17] james_: if the games are 3d directX type stuff, you're probably better dual booting. Don't know what limewire is [09:17] Dani_: dir or type is good [09:17] james_ limewire makes a ubuntu version get it here http://www.limewire.com/download/version.php [09:17] Dani_: ls -1 * ?

Installing drivers on linux isn't easy. you need to find out what doesn't work (check logfiles). Then you neeed to find out which device you are using (lspci) and then you need to download and compile another driver... === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [09:37] greetings, can someone help me with xdosemu?

[09:41] volcomgeyser: you should get hardy heron [09:42] volcomgeyser: id go to www.ubuntu.org and download from there or search your favourite torrent site [09:42] hey guys. i've got a little problem with installing ubuntu. [09:42] volcomgeyser: you will get an ISO which you can burn with whatever tool you wish [09:42] volcomgeyser: boot to the cd and all will be revealed [09:42] i already downloaded ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386 [09:43] is that it? [09:43] it says "this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU," etc. [09:43] volcomgeyser: if its about 700Mb an an ISO file then yes [09:43] is there anywhere i can get a compatible ver of ubuntu?

[09:45] The main installation screen didn't show up, only the date. [09:46] Jolly: did you md5 check the iso? [09:46] No, perhaps i should do that, lol [09:46] yeah thats why they provide those things [09:46] so you can check what you have downloaded [09:46] and you can also use it to check the cd once its burned [09:46] Is anyone in this room involved in any interesting software projects? [09:47] hey if i update to ubuntu 7.10 will i louse all the stuff i have installed to my curent fiesty fawn and all so i am dual booting from to different hard drives (1st 80gb ubuntu and 2ed 160gb xp-mce) will updateing have an effect on the xp drive?

[09:48] misha_: hence linux, no games for me [09:48] segagman: updating will update the binarys on your linux install [09:49] #tritux [09:49] segagman: just like windows updates update the programs on your system but doesnt change anything else [09:50] segagman: ive seen it cause headaches though and i personally always do a clean install but some folks have had success [09:50] Would it be alright if I deleted the swap partition off of my Ubuntu install? [09:51] can you change what is in the gnome 'session' via a terminal ? [09:51] ghindo: as long as it has one when it boots. you'll have to put one on it after you remove it [09:52] neil_d, what do you mean? [09:52] well i got the fawn just how i like it and i still have beryl's gui but i dont like compiz gui and like 200 other programs and i want to keep them i dont want to have to start from scratch [09:52] i tryed it on a nother puter and it lost every thing and i did it from the updater [09:53] I am using VNC to connect to a remote computer, but I can't start the System->Preferences->Session program can I edit a file to do the same thing ?

[09:57] LSD|Ninja: ooh whats this .1 business? [09:58] Yea, what's with the .1? [09:58] bocaneri: use the link above ^ [09:58] ActionParsnip: Service Pack 1 basically [09:58] I'm about to install a new linux on this lappie to dual boot with Vista, I imagine I'll be doing that on Saturday. [09:58] LSD|Ninja: whats fundamentally different or is it just updated binarys? [09:58] neil_d, what specific settings do you wanna change? [09:58] * bocaneri grabs the 8.04 HH livedvd [09:59] ActionParsnip: bug fixes basically [09:59] They should have skipped 8.04 and made 8.10 the LTS, 8.04 just wasn't ready [09:59] rubengonc: I want to start a custom program after logging in to the X session [09:59] im on fluxbuntu gutsy with full updates so i'll be ok [09:59] <^root1> could someone tell me what does: tar cvzf /home/user2/backup.tar.gz /home/user2/test &> /dev/null do? [09:59] not heard that one though, thanks :) [10:00] ^root1: the first bit unzips the tar.gz file, no idea about the last [10:00] ^root1: creates an archive of /home/user2/test [10:00] <^root1> ActionParsnip: not unzip, it zips.... [10:01] ^root1: I think the last bit pipes any output to /dev/null. [10:01] <^root1> neil_d: and that's all? does it delete the dir that it made backup of? [10:01] ^root1: oh yeah, my bad [10:01] ^root1 - it creates a compressed tar file of the /home/user2/test directory and sticks it in /home/user2/backup.tar.gz. [10:02] ^root1: you can use the q flag to be 'quiet' [10:02] ^root1: I don't think tar can delete files. so no [10:02] the last bit stops you seeing the standard output which you could omit by leaving off the 'v' argument [10:02] hi [10:03] hi lora_ [10:03] magnetron: i cant find anything about adding folders to ftp. [10:03] pet2: So I was correct in saying it pipes it to /dev/null. [10:03] on pureftp [10:03] Bob24: what? [10:03] yup [10:03] methecooldude: redirects, not pipes, but yeah [10:03] gordonjcp: What evers going. [10:03] gordonjcp: oooh - picky! :-) [10:04] on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp. [10:04] hi.. anyone is using rush? are there packages anywhere? [10:04] pet2: it's best to be specific - there can be subtle implications ;-) [10:04] fisty fawn is telling me to update to gusty gibbion so i guess i got to do that to update to harddy heron [10:04] :-) [10:04] :P [10:05] why is the ubuntu kernel labeled with a --generic suffix? why not --ubuntu? [10:05] segagman: yes that right [10:05] segagman, yup only one version at a time [10:05] segagman: check the docs - there are specific upgrade paths you have to follow depending on which version you are using. [10:05] sux cause i love my curent in stall [10:05] I mean, are there other types of kernels available? [10:05] can anyone plz help me? [10:05] theFATMAN: Good question, I normally just update the kernel to the latest version @ kernel.org [10:05] theFATMAN: SMP [10:06] methecooldude: so, are there other types available? [10:06] yea [10:06] theFATMAN: it's a linux kernel that's compiled for modern processors, both single-core and multi-core. that's why. the -386 version is made to run on 386 processors and so on. [10:06] theFATMAN: Yea, take a look at www.kernel.org [10:06] ActionParsnip: SMP? [10:06] theres also PPC and Alpha [10:07] theFATMAN: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Beowulf/smp-faq/prive/mentre/smp-faq/smp-faq-3.html [10:07] theFATMAN: "symmetric multi processing", support for more than one core [10:07] ActionParsnip, where can I find descriptive info? [10:07] linux kernal is 2.4 right now isnt it? [10:07] theFATMAN: theres also i386, i486, i586, i686 [10:07] segagman: no, 2.6 is the predominant one [10:07] 2.46.26 is the most current [10:07] magnetron, I have a quadcore, should i check that out? [10:08] my ubuntu 8.04 won't start anymore after the last update [10:08] are there any packet sniffers for ubuntu? [10:08] *sigh* 2.6.25 [10:08] I have noticed two activities of users, which if guided, I believe may help make Ubuntu better. 1) Users who don't feel very confident tend not to report bugs. 2) If a bug with the UI can be fixed by editing system files, often a bug, again, will go unreported. These effects I characterise as a failure of the (ubuntu + user) system. How can we make it better? [10:08] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel [10:08] I can't run my VirtualBox OSE 1.6.0 build (Ubuntu amd64) [10:08] theFATMAN: the -generic kernel is installed by default unless you do something to change it [10:08] i386 doesn't just mean 80386 processors, it's a blanket term for the 32 bit x86 architecture that debuted in the 80386. Even the most modern Core 2 Duo adn Phenom procs still technically fall under the i386 moniker [10:09] Are there curremtly any packet sniffers for ubuntu? [10:09] LSD|Ninja: -386 runs on a 80386, -generic doesn't [10:09] my ubuntu 8.04 won't start anymore after the last update, anybody having the same problem??? [10:09] FreezeHeat: what happens when you try? [10:09] what about open soloris [10:09] FreezeHeat: mor einfo please [10:09] da91 yep [10:09] Da91: i can recommend Wireshark, it's one of the best. [10:09] ActionParsnip, thanks man, i really need to get in the habit of checking the wiki. I usually just goto google then here [10:09] It says kernel mooudle mismatch [10:09] guys, no php-gtk package on repos? :( [10:09] thanks [10:09] ...and 3) those same non-confident users who are so important, appear to avoid pre-releases. We can see the regressions in 8.04 as evidence. [10:09] how can I see all the dependencies of a package from the command line?? [10:09] regressions are inevitable when you have a development community that doiesn't give a shit about the common user [10:10] First I downloaded the VirtualBox OSE from the package manager [10:10] da91 just run live backtrack2 [10:10] hey thanks for the info everyone, i'm gonna jet and check this out. have a good one [10:10] mnemo: don't you have a graphical interface installed? [10:10] FreezeHeat: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=1YB&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=virtualbox+kernel+module+mismatch&spell=1 [10:10] FreezeHeat: try installing it using apt-get /adept / synaptic / whatever [10:10] magnetron: I have it but im scripting some stuff [10:10] Da91: tcpdump, ethereal and wireshark are the best known packet sniffers. [10:10] where would wireshark be located after installation? [10:11] Da91: in your applications menu. [10:11] :P [10:11] Hi all, what repositories contain gcc-3.3&g++-3.3&cpp-3.3 ? dapper or edgy ??? [10:11] does it have instant speed hack like CE? [10:11] LSD|Ninja, It could possibly be the case that many, or even most don't care about the common user, but surely not universal? [10:11] Da91: what? [10:12] where you click enable speed hack and then enter your values and hit enter XD [10:12] LSD|Ninja, So how can we encourage those who +DO+ care about the common user? [10:12] gurelka: are you getting a grub error message? [10:12] im staying with the fawn for now cause it works [10:13] I downloaded VirtualBox OSE 1.6.0 from the VirtualBox site and followed those instructions: http://virtual-box.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions [10:13] Da91: wireshark's a packet sniffer... it sniffs packets and analyzes them... what do you think it does? [10:13] It's not working [10:13] :P [10:13] i know [10:13] legen2440: well everythings fine until gnome tries to start i think... i get a blank screen then everything freezes, like the keyboard doesn't work anymore... [10:13] well im off, cya [10:13] question what folder can i save most of my files, mean large ones? [10:13] da91 use http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html its better for that kinda thing [10:14] segagman: it's the same tools as in ubuntu. wireshark, ethereal, tcpdump. [10:14] Both VMware and VirtualBox doesn't work for me ubuntu and every other Linux platform sux!!!! [10:14] i know but it is for that kinda thing strait out the box [10:15] is backtrack debian? [10:15] segagman: you can use both ubuntu and backtrack2 for "that kind of thing", i e packet sniffing. backtrack is slackware based. [10:15] I have problems with VPN connection with [10:16] MSCHAP [10:16] hi everyone. I've just installed vim-gnome, but when i launch it (typing gvim), it hangs and i have to switch to console mode to kill it. [10:17] scrouaf: try gvim & instead [10:18] gurelka: can you get to a terminal? or does alt+f2 work? [10:18] i know but i would rather use distros made for sertin things rather than have an all in one [10:18] ActionParsnip, that doesn't open any window [10:18] any how [10:18] legend2440: i get a terminal before gnome starts then it disappears and i can't get back to it, then freezes. [10:18] also, i have to send it a SIGINT for a window to open [10:19] is mplayer in the add remove app? [10:19] gurelka: have you tried booting into recovery mode? [10:19] how can i delete files from a dual boot ntsf partition it says there protected or locked or sumtin [10:19] segagman: ntfs-3g [10:19] !ntfs-3g | segagman [10:19] segagman: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [10:20] I suppose it doesn't help developers maintain a relationship with 'common users' given that often, when something doesn't work right, resort to frustrated [10:20] no i didn't. If I did what would be the solution after that? is there a tool to cancel the latest updates and go back to normal? [10:20] hello [10:20] ...rants [10:20] !h i| scaliska [10:20] Factoid h i not found [10:20] any suggestions? where is the ideal folder where i can save large files? [10:20] SheezayE: ~/ is a good place [10:20] * MenZa concurs with ActionParsnip [10:21] there's no place like ~/ [10:21] :) [10:21] ok that was pretty sad [10:21] >.< is there a packet sniffer like cheat engine or wpe out there for ubuntu? [10:21] Since Gutsy>Hardy upgrade my GNOME shows some programs in Englisch and others in German, although http://paste.ubuntu.com/17142/ . During today's update to a new kernel Update Manager wrote in /var/log/apt/term.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17143/ . How can I restore an all-German Ubuntu? [10:21] gurelka: what happened right before this happened ? a kernel upgrade or what? [10:21] anyone knows how can we update firefox 3 rc 1 to rc 2 without new installation? [10:21] Da91: wireshark [10:21] lol its confusing [10:21] Da91, you want to try wireshark [10:21] got it [10:21] ActionParsnip: ok [10:21] if you want something command line, try tcpdump [10:22] how do i targe the program? [10:22] legend2440: not a kernel upgrade, it was a gnome upgrade and fglrx and related stuff. Well I'm sure that's the problem but I don't know how to get in and fix it now. [10:22] gurelka: what happens if you create another account and log into that ? If that works, it is something to do with your gnome config. This has happened to me previously. [10:22] hall i thought ubuntu was the everymans linux and thats what the rants are 4 linux people rule when it comes to helping out [10:22] da91 have you tryed backtrack? [10:22] ? [10:22] gurelka: or you could try using KDE (from the gdm login screen) and see if that works. Again, if it does, you have a gnome config problem. [10:23] http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html [10:23] Ubuntu is closer to being the everyman's Linux than pretty much anything in the last ten years but it's not there yet and tbh, I'm starting to think it won't ever be [10:23] firefox 3 rc2 is out! [10:23] scaliska: is it beta or official release? [10:23] so, any update method? [10:23] gurelka: ok boot into recovery mode and at terminal type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go through the prompts. not positive but that may help. ok? [10:23] i think it will when it is easy to handle media better [10:23] pet2: I don't get any screens or any terminals at all. Unless I try recovery mode which i didn't try yet. [10:24] segagman: check medibuntu [10:24] rc2 is in official site [10:24] legend2440: ok i'll try that thanks a lot.. i'll be back to let u know what happened... thanks [10:24] gurelka: ok [10:24] can medibuntu burn dvd with a simple gui for settop boxes [10:25] scaliska: This second Firefox 3 Release Candidate is a preview release of Mozilla's next generation Firefox browser and is being made available for testing purposes only. [10:25] scaliska: its beta, i wouldnt bother [10:25] the fact is people want things to work they dont want to know how they work [10:25] any tutorials about securing ubuntu 8.04 lts? [10:26] i have no detailed info but rc 2 === Maximus is now known as Guest72714 [10:26] release candidate 2 [10:26] scaliska: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0rc2/releasenotes/ [10:26] yea its true [10:26] linux has been for people who like to know how things work [10:27] segagman: i use it as its quicker on my box and my use is minimal. I can save disk space by installing a slimmer operating system [10:27] LSD|Ninja, You have indeed painted a very sad picture. Clearly identifying and proving a problem may well be half the battle to turn things around. [10:28] uncle joe and grandma aint going to use linux unless it works an syncs strait out the box [10:28] segagman: mine does [10:29] segagman: dell are shipping stuff with linux preinstalled also so it will for them too [10:29] a long long time ago when i used windows and something would mess up as a last resort i would reinstall windows without reformatting so any missing .dll would install. can i do that with ubuntu? just reinstall stuff right over previous install without formatting? [10:30] will it sync with ipods ect have all the mp3 plugins ect [10:30] !gpod | segagman [10:30] Factoid gpod not found [10:30] ActionParsnip, working now. Gnome crashed, badly, had to reboot [10:30] !ipod | segagman [10:30] segagman: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [10:30] and it works :/ [10:30] ipod sucks [10:31] yea but grandma or cozins dont know that === pet2 is now known as PianoPete [10:31] hi - if I want to set the EDITOR environment variable to "nano -w", do I add "export EDITOR='nano -w'" to .profile? [10:31] that not the point ubotto [10:31] am i the only one who's gnome partly crashes from time to time ? [10:31] holas, can ubuntu alone find what vga driver i need for my graphic card and download and install it? [10:31] segagman: well if apple shipped the software with their hardware as well as itunes itd be fine [10:31] So we have to identify whether the problem is really the case that developers really don't care about the common user, or whether it is more the case that the development system and BTS are not common-user friendly? [10:31] legend2440: you should be able to so long as you tell the installer not to reformat. If you see yourself doing that a lot, it may be wise to put /home on its own partition [10:32] forget apple how bout all the other crap at wal mart [10:32] LSD|Ninja: ok thanks [10:32] you see [10:32] segagman: like what? [10:32] on ubuntu how can you share for example the /var/lib/mythtv/recordings directory on ftp? im using pure ftp. [10:33] Nick_Hill: if users submit errors they may be addressed but submitting bugs does help [10:33] ok say if a fammily member was to use ubuntu and they know nothing about computers exsept how to turn them on [10:33] can someone tell me how i can istall drivers for my vga card.. its ati radeon 1950 pro [10:33] does anyone here knows how to config the router? [10:33] LaVidaLoca: they're not in the Drivers manager? [10:33] they want it to work strait away [10:33] no its empty there... im now on ubuntu [10:33] segagman: tell someone to install windows on a system, they'll have issues too [10:34] LSD|Ninja: im going via CD, im not installed jet ubuntu [10:34] segagman: im sure the vista install does not have drivers for all hardwae for example, certainly didnt have sound on my realtek sound chip on my asus board [10:34] LSD|Ninja: can be that a problem [10:34] !packaging [10:34] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [10:34] LaVidaLoca: once you have Ubuntu installed you can install the 3rd party drivers with the drivers manager [10:34] yes but ipods,cretives zens ect come with point and click driver cds [10:35] LaVidaLoca: Don't worry about it until after you have Ubuntu on the system [10:35] segagman: what about the apps users are used to, very few apps in a vanilla windows install. [10:35] im going to buy a eeepc in about 2 weeks [10:35] hello :) [10:35] For a given characteristic user, if a user of that characteristic has a tendency to file bugs, my theory is that users of that characteristic will find fewer bugs. [10:36] segagman: i love my eeepc [10:36] ActionParsnip: no one uses a completely vanilla Windows [10:36] ActionParsnip: Hell, hardly anyone even sees a vanilla Windows [10:36] and the reason it ships with xandros is because of this [10:36] LSD|Ninja, : Can u tell me just where is it, driver manager? [10:36] LSD|Ninja: he's saying that people will find it hard using linux with no comuter competance [10:36] !support | ActionParsnip, LSD|Ninja [10:36] ActionParsnip, LSD|Ninja: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [10:36] LaVidaLoca: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers or something [10:36] segagman: i run eeeXUbuntu on mine === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [10:37] When I check my computer for 3D acceleration I got " No, if you want to know why set..." How do I enable 3D acceleration please?

I have 10GB free-space, and when i start install ubuntu.. i cant find NTFS file system [10:39] is ntfs 3g in add/remove or synaptic/ [10:39] ActionParsnip: the most common one being "how do i enable the cube" [10:39] ? [10:39] LaVidaLoca: The ubuntu installer can resize NTFS reasonably well (standard disclaimer about having a backup still applies though) [10:39] !ntfs-3g > segagman (read private message from ubotu) [10:40] I find the constant ubottu spam more annoying than off-topic chatter [10:40] LSD|Ninja: should have a backup anyway [10:40] LSD [10:40] hi every body [10:40] lol me 2 [10:40] hi doctor nick....i mean arabian [10:40] LSD|Ninja: jes i know, first time i was installed ubuntu, but i must reinstall it and now i have unused space on HD, i want to format it and install it there [10:41] How do I enable the cube?

[10:44] LaVidaLoca: You can't install Linux (Ubuntu or otherwise) on an NTFS partition - not directly anyway. Linux has its own filesystems but from memory, the Ubuntu installer will only work right if you're on ext3 [10:45] LSD|Ninja: I am there and it can't detect my card [10:45] In-Sane``: what card have you got?

[11:14] that way? [11:14] gooody: you may have to use dpkg --force-architecture [11:14] sschillachi, go into your system bios and move the ubuntu hard drive to the first boot device [11:14] ActionParsnip: ok, I will remember it for next time ;) [11:14] Ward1983, hmm, never had troubles, any idea what the problem was? [11:14] sschillachi, you should set your ubuntu drive as the first boot device in your bios [11:14] sschillachi, then you should add xp in grub [11:14] bringatowel, yep i couldnt confige it [11:14] hi to all, someone has never configured a samba server with ldap as bdc?

[11:15] segagman: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.ntfs-3g [11:15] sschillachi: the problem then is that all the (hd0) device names in your menu.lst change meaning when you use two hard disks. [11:15] Ward1983, what do you mean though? you couldn't configure it to run? or it ran but you couldn't configure for the use you want? [11:15] gooody: what are you trying to install? [11:15] Ward1983, im just wondering if it was an install problem, some problem with your webserver, or with gallery [11:15] segagman: you cant delete some file in ntfs due to weird permissions and such but most can be removed just fine [11:15] i'm trying to install gyachi [11:16] Bodsda, by the way starting grub from the vista bootloader is usefull if you use a fakeraid array to boot vist [11:16] seemed the easyest fix [11:16] Ward1983, also you might want to check out #gallery-support [11:16] soundray: yea I figured that, i've got it set up so it should work when all the drives are enabled, so when I disable them i have to change the device names [11:16] bringatowel, it installed fine, then i needed to go to a link on my localhost to configure it, that didnt work [11:16] do i have to use the terminal? [11:16] file not found [11:16] Ward1983, sudo *insert mallicious command* C:\ [11:17] sschillachi: alternatively, make sure that /boot/grub is always on (hd0) [11:17] Bodsda, ?

[11:17] Bodsda: surely you mean /mnt/ [11:17] Ward1983, thats the easiest way to fix vista [11:17] gooody: that's distributed as source, so you should compile a 64bit version for yourself [11:17] Bodsda: linux doesnt see C:\ [11:17] soundray: (hd0) is my xp drive, can you put grub on xp? [11:17] Bodsda, lol you know what i mean [11:17] ActionParsnip, or install a bash shell on windows but you get the idea ;~) [11:17] anybody familiar with using likewise open for AD autehntication?

I can't enable desktop effects and I can't enable my video card, I also checked my laptop for 3D acceleration and the result was: direct rendring: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [11:18] this is the first time in days my ubuntu system seems more or less stable again [11:19] soundray: are there any sites where i can learn compiling a 64bit version from 32bit? [11:19] gah, a couple of releses ago installing a cli and installing x and video drivers was a simple quick task. it all seems so broken in hardy [11:19] icqnumber: ok, thanks [11:19] Ward1983, have u got the latest kernel release? [11:19] 2.6.24.18 [11:19] qmf, i think your referring to what they call 'user friendly' ;~) [11:19] sschillachi: grub consists of some code in the MBR and the various files that under Ubuntu are found in /boot/grub. You can install the MBR on any hard disk drive, but it will only boot if it's on the first disk. [11:20] Ward1983: check with uname -a [11:20] Bodsda, i had and i deliberately booted the old one [11:20] gooody: you first need to understand something basic [11:20] Ward1983, hahaha !!!

[11:21] Ward1983, ;~) [11:21] are there any resources for ubuntu 8.04 cli installs? i can't seem to google any up [11:21] gooody: source code is source code. It's neither 32bit nor 64bit. Only when you compile, depending on what compiler you use and how, is a binary generated, which can then be 32bit or 64bit. [11:21] icqnumber: do you believe my video card ain't supported? [11:21] zyx386, thats not a question [11:21] ActionParsnip, i had and i deliberately booted the old one [11:21] sschillachi: I'm not saying it isn't possible [11:21] Bodsda, sorry, how can i install it ? [11:21] sschillachi: you're just ignoring some basic facts about booting PCs at the moment. [11:22] ActionParsnip: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager does not answer the question which I have put.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [11:23] goody,. compiling is generally /configure make sudo make install [11:23] Anyone know a doom port that *will* compile for ubuntu?

I apprecaite it :) [11:23] gooody: is most common [11:23] Bodsda, lol i know that, that is not worked with ff3 "Google Toolbar for Firefox 3.0.20070525L could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0b5" [11:23] ActionParsnip: come on - don't point people to blindly do that [11:23] RabidWeezle, wouldnt you need a dos emulator (if your talkin bout the old dos Doom game) [11:23] ikonia: ok [11:24] I've tried vavoom, zdoom, doom legacy, and doomsday with no luck... [11:24] gooody: most souce tar.bz2 (or whatevers) have a README file which can advise on how to compile it [11:24] zyx386, try installing the Nightly Tester Tools addon to override the warning, it may not work 100% though [11:24] ikonia: better ? :) [11:24] ActionParsnip: MUCH, thank you [11:24] ActionParsnip: i have tried that before following a blog but encounters some problem during uninstalling the application [11:24] ikonia: np man [11:24] RabidWeezle: uh...skulltag! [11:24] !password [11:24] Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [11:24] heh [11:24] gooody: compiling an application without package managment can be very hard to remove [11:25] gooody: do you have the compiling tools and the dependancys of the program [11:25] I love doom and linux has about the most dang doom ports... just none will compile... [11:25] how can i change my root password? :P [11:25] sschillachi: it then looks up boot devices in the order that's configured in the BIOS setup. If there's a hard disk boot device, it looks for a master boot record (MBR). In DOS times, that contained all code necessary to pass control from the BIOS to a higher-level operating system, i.e. boot a kernel. [11:25] ikonia, is that no longer true due to check install (or something like that) which adds it to the apt database? [11:25] !sudo [11:25] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [11:25] problem is all these doom ports are damn old [11:25] RabidWeezle, Just try Skulltag, all I can think of [11:25] ActionParsnip: can i make a deb package from the source code? [11:25] Bodsda: no, I still believe thats true [11:25] hi [11:25] skulltag is a port? [11:25] ikonia, hhmm,.,. il go do some readin up on it [11:25] I just thought it was a mod [11:25] !checkinstall | gooody [11:25] o_O [11:25] gooody: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[11:30] sschillachi: that's possible in principle, called chainloading. You don't chainload a file, though -- you chainload a boot sector (which is similar to a MBR, except that it is part of a partition rather than "above" partitions like a real MBR is) [11:30] it boots up really slow on my box [11:30] that was the last one I tried ActionParsnip [11:30] bringatowel, i know that to, that is #force install# not correct install, and 90% from the toolbar option not worked fine, also thanx [11:30] RabidWeezle: lxldoom [11:30] all other distros boots up really fine including ubuntu 7.10 [11:30] won't compile [11:30] except herdy [11:30] that's doom legacy [11:30] soundray: ok, that makes sense [11:30] could someone please tell me how you can link a folder to see other folders?

[11:34] soundray: that sounds about right. when one of the copies goes over an element on the screen it inverts the color [11:34] sschillachi: yes [11:34] I'll try that as a last resort if I can't get on the line in a doom irc here on freenode [11:34] me__: do you know which video driver X is using? [11:34] RabidWeezle: least you can kick ass while you search for a better solution :) [11:35] no, not yet [11:35] looks like #doomsday is an official channel [11:35] awesome [11:35] maybe they can give me some answers [11:35] me__: which version do you really have (there is no 8.01)? [11:35] soundray: ok, so now, when i select ubuntu from the ntldr boot menu, it should load grub from the ubuntu boot sector? === gdsf is now known as bring2 [11:36] argh my internet is acting up, not sure what got through [11:36] Hi, I was wondering what the preferred way to take a full disk backup is for hardy heron? I was planning to just boot a livecd and use dd, but is there anything cleaner? [11:36] whichever is the newest one. i just pulled it off ubuntu.com tonight [11:36] zyx386, ahh ok, have you tried with the latest versions to see if it works any better? [11:36] sschillachi: no, since NTLDR uses a copy in a file, the actual boot sector is bypassed, and control is passed directly to the grub stages as stored in your /boot/grub/ [11:37] I really want something like os x's time machine, so I can take full backups without shutting down, and restore from bare metal later [11:37] bring2, any version worked with ff3, i try all [11:37] but shutting down isn't a deal breaker [11:37] lol, just realized I didn't have doxygen installed for doomsday [11:37] sschillachi: which is when it comes up with an error 17, because the partition it expects on the first disk isn't on the first disk. (It's on the second, but how is it supposed to know ;) [11:37] is the driver being used for X supposed to be mentioned in xorg.conf? [11:38] RabidWeezle: you gotta get the deps if you are compiling [11:38] hey all [11:38] I know, it wasn't listed though [11:38] bringatowel, do i need to forward a port from the router? for the vnc please? [11:38] RabidWeezle: was it not in the readme? [11:38] soundray: oh right, that makes sense. So is there any way to let it know where the partition is? [11:38] me__: no, but you can probably determine it from /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:38] Still says I am missing libgl1-mesa-dev and it is installed [11:38] um, cant click on the clock on my desktop, because it freezes my desktop [11:38] wasn't in the readme no [11:38] or COMPILING file either [11:38] don't click on it [11:38] yancho_, for best security you might want to read this, then you only have to forward SSH port 22: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/12/vnc-over-ssh-securing-the-remote-desktop/ [11:38] thanks bring2 [11:38] now it's looking for "dot tool" [11:39] ActionParsnip, just want to say I got xdosemu to receive special letters, in case there's someone else with this problem: in gconf-editor change desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layout, add 'si' and 'us' so it shows [si,us].. (si means slovenian) [11:39] never heard of that [11:39] sschillachi: you could update your menu.lst to reflect the change in the order of hard disk drives. [11:39] Rabid: that's graphviz [11:39] RabidWeezle: http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:doomsday [11:39] RabidWeezle: 'dot' is a part of graphviz [11:39] yancho_, sure thing, search around for VNC SSH linux or VNC SSH Ubuntu for more info, or feel free to ask here or the forum :) [11:40] there anyway to encrypt+password protect folders? lots of ppl use my pc, and last night my uni work got deleted by my sister..

SM712 LynxEM+ rev 160... driver is looking like X.Org video driver [11:41] Rageon: you should just have seperate user accounts [11:41] soundray: ok, so at the minute my menu.lst says that ubuntu is on root (hd1,0), what should I change that to [11:41] no encryption needed [11:42] ah k thx [11:42] Rageon: or truecrypt is good [11:42] wait, no. it looks like the driver is siliconmotion_drv.so [11:42] Or whole disk encryption if you have lots of time and paranoia ;-) [11:43] gnome desktop clock breaks system, any ideas? [11:43] moDumass: define breaks [11:43] sschillachi: identify which of your HDs grub sees as which by booting the machine, dropping to a grub shell at the menu by hitting C, and running geometry (hd0) and geometry (hd1) [11:43] you can have encryption and be able to delete the encrypted file: thus no encryption needed. [11:44] sane file permissions and different accounts suffices [11:44] sschillachi: there was also a good link about error 17 sent to you early in the conversation -- do you have that? [11:44] if i click on the clock to bring up the calendar it totaly freezez both panels [11:44] ok thats more info which is good [11:44] soundray: the problem is I can't get to the grub shell, error 17 appears before the grub shell is loaded [11:44] they arent entirely frozen, like they will blink if something makes a change, but i cant click them [11:44] i dont use it but i'll have awebsearch [11:45] sschillachi, youll have to boot from live cd [11:45] hi [11:45] sschillachi: oh, of course... then it's a matter of trial and error. Bodsda, did you send that forums link ealier? [11:45] hi [11:45] im new here [11:45] how could i turn off the cursor drop shadow?

There is no magic to create "something else" [11:59] does anyone know the ubottu faq command about including other user's nicknames in chat?

[12:07] icqnumber, me: this is on the suspicion that Ubuntu's default console mode is incompatible with your graphics setup. [12:08] m1dn1ght: my pleasure :) [12:08] me: by removing splash, it stays in the default mode that the BIOS selects. Removing quiet makes the boot process more entertaining ;) [12:09] while we're rebooting, i'd like to set my command line to 1024x768 if i can [12:09] JuzzyD: can you post up the /var/log/daemon.log file on http://www.ampaste.net/ [12:09] How do I find out what kernel version I am using?

I need it to be max 1 MB, no matter the quality. Any ideas how to do it? [12:12] It's only a 2 minute movie... [12:12] peitschie: when i start it it tells me to run that command as it can't find the kernel [12:12] so running it should re set it up [12:12] peitschie: Give me two seconds to find a network cable so I can plug it in :) [12:13] soundray: ya, that's probably it. [12:13] lastelement0: whats the output from dmesg? PM it to me [12:14] After a kernel update, the default one that's booted is automatically the newest one, right? [12:14] Kira: do a 'grep title /boot/grub/menu.lst' to see which kernel comes out at the top (and thus will be booted at the next system start) [12:14] soundray: no joy [12:14] soundray: heh ok, so the latest is the default now [12:14] good light show with the boot up, though [12:14] me: black console?

[12:19] icqnumber: exactly [12:19] JuzzyD: basically the key prompting is because the connection fails, so it never saves the key data, then when it retries, it needs the key again [12:19] That's another problem, I don't rightly know. I got a shoddy second hand laptop tonight [12:19] just use gedit instead of sed.

[12:45] if i install the linux server image for my system to optimize quadcore performance, that won't affect the xserver or kde, will it? [12:46] soundray: that "ro" part made my filesystem read-only, and it looks like 0x371 isn't valid, and vga=ask suggested 80x** [12:46] khurag_, what doesn't work? [12:46] theFATMAN: the server kernel image optimizes your quad-core performance just as much as the -generic kernel, really. [12:47] bring2: its done :) ubuntu gets easier and easier everytime i try. [12:47] i tried 80x60, which i'm guessing was 800x600@60hz [12:48] After 8.04 clean install, I can now still see my Windows XP box on the my network, but none of it's shares. Interesting since I'm using exactly the same xmb.conf I did on Gutsy! [12:48] bring2: I can hear sound and all in the actual headset, but I am having trouble getting the microphone to work in an application such as "Mumble" [12:48] ALLpt, lol glad to hear that :) :) [12:48] The device names are very complex and makes no sense to me :S [12:48] smb.conf - edit [12:48] well lets now try put the things at my way [12:48] wild guess [12:49] magnetron, it was suggested, in that it optimized the communication between the hardware and the kernel [12:49] for a high end system [12:49] i have ubuntu as host and ubuntu as guest in innotek virtualbox.NAT selected as networc config in VM. what i need to do for inet access from guest ubuntu? [12:49] Have you regenerated all your SSH keys after you was informed about the vulnerability in them? (predictable random number generator in Debian and all derivates) [12:49] theFATMAN: the "generic" kernel does that too. why would anyone disable such a feature? [12:49] magnetron, how would that disable it? [12:50] khurag_, hmm have you tried to use the mic in any other program? [12:50] okay sorry bazhang_ back; here's an output [12:50] http://www.pastebin.org/40787 [12:50] If not, tell me your IP address and start sshd, please. >:-o === led is now known as lostinirc [12:50] theFATMAN: you don't. it's not disabled. really. [12:50] bad_image, lol [12:50] magnetron, the generic kernel is on the distro CD's so that it has a broader compatibility range [12:51] wow.. I must say I like dv capturing so much better under ubuntu.. [12:51] bring2: I have, in the Volume Control panel, switched on Mic capture, boost and select. It seems that when I switch from Mic1, to Mic2 and while having Mic boost activated, i can get it to record sound when i enable my Microphone in the Volume control panel, although, when i turn off microphone boost it does not work. [12:51] me: arrgh! Sorry, it should be vga=0x317 (not 371) [12:51] mattycoze, can you install anything or remove anything other than that package? [12:51] * Rolanditu is away (Leaving! Regreso Mas Tarde!) === Rolanditu is now known as Rolanditu\Afk [12:52] magnetron, myself having a x86/64bit quadcore setup, would it not be more beneficial? my question is, will that affect x or kde? [12:52] What is the command to run the GUI version of Synaptic? [12:52] me: 80x60 is a pure text mode, displaying this many characters [12:52] bazhang_ no i can't [12:52] !aptfix | mattycoze try this [12:52] mattycoze try this: 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 » [12:52] khurag_, can you keep the settings enabled that seem to work ok? [12:53] theFATMAN: neither the -server or the -generic will assume a quad-core system. they both will detect your type of processor and support and adjust too it. the -server kernel is SLOWER for desktop use and will make kde slower to focus on the network server tasks. [12:53] elmer: it is just synaptic [12:53] magnetron, http://beginlinux.com/index.php/desktop_training/ubuntu/ubfile_m/ub_kernel [12:53] please look at that and tell me what you think [12:53] i have ubuntu as host and ubuntu as guest in innotek virtualbox.NAT selected as networc config in VM. what i need to do for inet access from guest ubuntu? [12:54] gksudo synaptic elmer [12:54] bazhang_ nah didn't work [12:54] ok. trying now [12:54] still getting the same error 1 [12:54] they told me on #winehq or whatever it was called not to go there [12:54] asking problems with my cedega [12:54] bring2: I can have it working fine and all, but ofcourse i do not want it to play everything that I say in the microphone all the time. this is just for testing purposes. And it seems to work. but in applications.. thats where it gets tough. More precise, in WINE applications. [12:54] bazhang_, thanks, I figured it out [12:55] dot if it works on wine (appdb) why not try using wine [12:55] bazhang_: because it reports the same error as mine [12:55] cedega and wine gives the same "insert the right disk" error [12:55] oh wait bazhang_ brb sorry i think i forgot to do something [12:55] brb [12:55] dot then it likely has some weird copy protection scheme (drm) [12:55] hey bazhang_ ;~) [12:56] Bodsda, :) [12:56] khurag_, hmm okay, well maybe there is an easy way to switch to switch the mic on & off, for Wine questions you should ask in #winehq because i dont know about that :) [12:57] dot you wait for that message to insert disk, or already have it in [12:57] okay bazhang_ tis okay, the package is still being stubborn but I can now install other stuff; i forgot to uncheck the "remove" option for the kio- program [12:57] <|p33|> hi! my ubuntu server keeps telling me to insert the install cd when im trying to install packages [12:57] theFATMAN: how many times must i answer your question before you trust me? Ubuntu does NOT try to make your computer slower by installing the -generic kernel. REALLY. the -server kernel will run slower on your desktop computer. instead it wil focus on server tasks, as serving web pages. [12:57] bring2: well, Winehq suggested making sure with #ubuntu that i had set my soundsystem up correctly. That should make it easier for them to help me [12:57] |p33|, edit sources.list and remove cd as software source [12:57] soundray: 0x317 worked, but its still running at 800x600 [12:57] bazhang_: I have the CD inside my CD-ROM and when I run the game [12:57] it is already installed [12:57] |p33|, comment out the cd as repo line in sources.list [12:57] how can I set weather dock in my ubuntu ? [12:57] it says that it wants an another disk [12:57] !weather [12:57] Factoid weather not found [12:58] can anyone tell me is mythbuntu for watching online television? [12:58] dot try without the disk in [12:58] and yes it only had 1 disk same disk is install and run CD [12:58] dot: I suggest you use WINE instead of Cedega, I am a old cedega user and that program has cause med nothing but trouble. [12:58] bazhang_: ok but I also reinstalled this [12:58] dot: another thing to do, is to copy your discs to your computer. [12:58] Do you you there is a Firefoc RC2 package around? [12:58] Do you know* [12:58] RC2 is released?????? [12:58] UB`: The FF packages are undergoing testing currently. [12:58] UB`, not yet; likely will go straight to final sometime this month [12:59] Bodsda yes today [12:59] khurag_, if your Microphone is working in other applications then I think it is set up properly :) [12:59] cool [12:59] me: perhaps your video RAM is insufficient. There are two modes of the same resolution, but with fewer colours: 0x305 (256 colours) and 0x316 (32768 colours) [12:59] how can I set weather dock in my ubuntu ? [12:59] me: taken from http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/laptop/vesafb.txt [12:59] khurag_: only problem i have with WINE is that the Windows Program Ventrilo (Voice chat) doesn't work properly. Can't talk over it [12:59] novato_br, need more info [12:59] tmapj, what do you mean by internet television? you might mean something like Miro: www.getmiro.com [12:59] Why do I get "perl: warning: Setting locale failed" ?? [12:59] Vedalken: this is the exact issue I am in this channel for :) [12:59] where? [13:00] miro is lame and only has short clips [13:00] Hi guys i am using Ubuntu 8.04 i have canon mp510 now i downloaded the driver and installed it how to make it to use [13:00] Khurag_: the ventrilo issue? [13:00] bring2: it is not though, have not gotten it to work in any applications than in the volume control panel so far, any suggestions to running tests and etc whatever would be oh so great :D [13:00] novato_br: right click on your top or bottom panel and select add to panel, then select the weather applet [13:00] at present the driver is showing mp500 [13:00] bazhang_, i need to find my zipcode area! [13:00] bring2, do you know anything about mythbuntu? [13:00] i did, ben_underscore [13:00] how to make the mp510 driver to show in the driver list [13:00] veldalken_: yes :) I am wanting to run World of Warcraft with Ventrilo running, problem is that ventrilo wont find my microphone. [13:00] novato_br, what app [13:00] i can configurate for my local area [13:00] soundray: i was running 1024x768x16 in damn small linux and win98 and winxp on this machine, so i think its something else [13:01] khurag_: if I copy all the tings from the CD to a folder in my home directoryu [13:01] i want to set for my local area settings weather [13:01] novato_br: so what is the problem then? [13:01] should I write something to terminal then [13:01] or is it just working fine then? [13:01] what is the zipcode for "unai brazil" ? [13:01] dot_: yes, copy each CD into its own folder, EVERYTHING from each of the cds [13:01] I need some serious help. Firefox 3's back/forward buttons don't work. [13:01] i don't know [13:01] <|p33|> bazhang_ , Bodsda thank you! [13:01] khurag_, ah ok, sorry I wanted to try with Mumble but it is not working on my system, do you have Skype installed? that has a way to test your settings [13:01] dot_: will make it alot easier to install [13:01] khurag_: it only have 1 cd [13:01] Khurag_: that's a wine problem... until Flagship develops a native ventrilo to Linux, we can only hope to do stuff with it. [13:02] Hey, my computer tries to run the disk checker at bootup, but it gets to 70% and stops, it used to do this before, and i had temp ignored it by skipping it, but its decided that it will no longer let me skip by pressing esc, any help? [13:02] me: I'd try one of the other modes, nevertheless. Perhaps 0x318 works... [13:02] novato_br: you shouldn't need your zipcode, can you not just select brazil then the area you want from the tree of options? [13:02] Vedalken_: I am determined to get it to work, other people have. Also, you able to get your mic working with any other applications ? outside of WINE that is ? [13:02] bring2_: I cannot seem to get mumble working either... i have just installed it. [13:03] ok. brb [13:03] i don't have three options, ben_underscore [13:03] Khurag_: yeah... i can make it work with Ventrilo just it locks shut after i release my PTT (due to DInput not being present) [13:03] i'm running desklets weather dock [13:03] khurag_, yeah i don't know what is wrong with Mumble, can you try to install Skype and see if that works? [13:03] Everytime i try get in to my shared folder in my other PC linux ask me for the pw, but from my vista to my shared folders i dont use any pw, i put the shared without pw :\ [13:03] novato_br: oh i do apologise [13:04] bring2_: do not think I can install skype, it isnt in my package manager [13:04] Thx, ben_underscore [13:04] novato_br: i thought you were running the gnome one. try that, it is very easy and nice [13:04] Khurag_: what type of mic do you have? Analog or USB? [13:04] Hi all! [13:04] khurag_, what version of Ubuntu do you have? [13:04] hum, ben_underscore [13:04] What is the name of that script/program, that mounts up all local harddrives in the livecd?

[13:04] but i want the desklets one, it is beautifull [13:05] elmer maybe the FF channel is the best option [13:05] khurag_:Brand and also your version of Ubuntu? [13:05] hello everyone. is there a program for gnome that is like the sidebar in Vista? [13:05] khurag_:brand of the microphone i mean [13:05] bring2_: I am not sure, but think i have, Ubuntu 8.04. How do i check that? [13:06] david_, need a screenshot [13:06] elmer, hi [13:06] elmer, where are you from? [13:06] Vedalken_: Sandberg := [13:06] any idea how to make mp510 driver to show in the driver list [13:06] Afternoon all. Does anyone know anything about amd74xx module, and disk copy slowdown? [13:06] khurag_:i'm guessing that's a local brand? [13:06] i have one friend that has the same name [13:06] Vedalken_: It is possibly :) Nonetheles it is a working brand :) [13:06] khurag_: if I copy them to a folder in my home directory [13:07] do you think it solves the problem [13:07] khurag_, that should be fine, don't worry about it, type this in terminal: sudo apt-get install skype [13:07] khurag_:alrighty... Are you in Ubuntu right now? [13:07] soundray: 0x318 works! [13:07] !yay | me [13:07] me: Glad you made it! :-) [13:07] dot_: I would use WINE :) but yeah I think that would fix your problem. It did for me when i switched to WINE. [13:07] Anybody have any idea why amd74xx module is not found with Ubuntu 8.04? I'm having issues with slow disk transfers [13:07] vedalken_: I am in ubuntu right now yes. Only OS on this machine :) [13:07] khurag_: does cedega really suck? [13:07] bring2_: will do :) 2 sec [13:07] yes [13:07] ubottu: thank you kindly :) [13:07] me: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:08] why pay for something wine will do for free [13:08] me: does it fix the black console problem, too? [13:08] dot_: Cedega, has many many many errors. I dont reccomend it [13:08] #winehq [13:08] support free games! [13:08] nope. still blank [13:09] also paying for cedega doesn't really support the linux socialist ideals === e|mer is now known as elmer [13:09] Help please! can anyone tell me how to open EBOOT.PBP ? [13:09] yea torrent it jk [13:09] bring2_: this is what i get "Reading package lists... Done [13:09] Building dependency tree [13:09] Reading state information...

[13:10] Bodsda, soundray: hello again guys, you were helping me with grub earlier, just wanted to say thanks a lot. I got it fixed, it was because grub was detecting the hard drives in a different order to the bios [13:10] me: I don't think I'll be able to help you fix that. It might be a problem with your siliconmotion chip, not being able to switch away from the mode that X puts it into [13:10] laeg keep it on topic please [13:10] khurag_: cool. alrighty... if you have 8.04 (not sure if this feature only is in 8.04 or not) goto System>Preferences>Sound and tell me which audio setting you have for Audio Conferencing on the Capture setting. [13:10] sschillachi: thought so. Did you use map to fix it? [13:11] bazhang_: *nods* [13:11] khurag_, look in Applications -> Internet and see if Skype is there [13:11] soundray: yep, though i managed to destroy the windows bootloader accidentally in the process lol, so had to fix that [13:11] damn small linux had it working somehow [13:11] Hello people, How can I block external conections in my squid using iptables ? [13:12] Anyone know why I'd be getting this locales issue? http://pastebin.linode.com/859 [13:12] jayson: dont you think #squid or #iptables would be more suitable? [13:12] Can anyone help with some hard disk issues please? Copying starts fast (50+ Mb/s) then drops off after a few mins to about 17Mb/s [13:12] khurag_: now when I copy it to my home directory [13:12] should I uninstall it from cedega [13:12] gejr, Thanks [13:12] bring2_: They are all turned down, and microphone is clicked off.. Capture is under the Recording tab, correct? [13:12] or just run again the game or how? [13:12] Possibly to do with amd74xx module according to forum, but that module is not found... [13:13] not that big of a problem, i suppose. i have virtual terminal access [13:13] hello, i installed ubuntu-server and alsa not exist by default what package i need to install for alsa to work ? [13:13] wiijii, what kind of hard disk do you have? 20mb/s is not that slow :) [13:13] sschillachi: well done, you've learned a lot within a short time ;) [13:13] bring2_: wrong person lol :) sorry :D [13:13] Vedalken_: They are all turned down, and microphone is clicked off.. Capture is under the Recording tab, correct? [13:13] khurag_, haha just realized that :D [13:13] bring2: no it's not too slow, but why would it slow down... [13:13] ive down loaded a package i need to install, and i extracted it to my home folder now i need it to install, how do i navigate to it to configure it [13:13] jatt: EBOOT.PBP: data ?? [13:14] Should be 50Mb ish for a sata drive [13:14] bing_, what package [13:14] soundray: well it helps when you've got someone who knows what they're doing lending a hand, thanks again [13:14] dot_: join the #winehq channel for help concerning WOW :) this is not the place to discuss this, they are very helpful over there [13:14] its called fuppes [13:14] bing_, there should be a readme file [13:14] khurag_:that's sound mixer properties. I want the setting that says like "Pulseaudio Sound Server" or "autodetect" or something along those lines [13:14] khurag_: they told me not to come there discussing cedega [13:15] dot: We are not the Cedega support channel either. [13:15] i have a read me file === jayson is now known as jayson_ [13:15] dot: that's because they support wine only unfortunately === jayson_ is now known as jaysonsantos [13:15] Wolf23: .PBP are games for a playstation. === taiki is now known as taitai [13:15] Where does amule save stuff by default? === taitai is now known as captainjackharkn [13:15] you need a PSP emulator to "open" it [13:15] jatt: yes, how to open it or to burn it [13:15] don't know of any probably others in this channel do [13:15] wiijii, sometimes hard disks have a higher burst speed (i.e., temporar speed) that is lower than sustained speed. also, since it is just an average, the actual speed could vary a lot, like 100mb/s at one second and 5mb/s the next, so the average gets more accurate after a few seconds [13:16] Vedalken_: okay, I have turned everything in there to ALSA... except for Deaful Mixer Tracks which is on SiSSI7012 (alsamixer) [13:16] okay, I'm trying to do something really stupid. [13:16] Wolf23, where did you get it [13:16] can anyone tell my how i cant allow my external LCD run to 1440x900? i go to NVIDIA X Server Settings but if i try change from 1680x1050 to 1440x900 only LCD from laptop works :S [13:16] bazhang_: from a torrent site [13:16] dot_: which is why I am telling you, if you want to run games for an example on Linux, you are way better off using WINE, it is much better. [13:16] bring2: Yeah I realise that, but for the first 10 mins or so it was constant 50mb/s, then after that it slows to constant 17mb/s [13:16] which seems unusual [13:16] this read me file means nothing to me [13:16] Wolf23, dont talk about that in here; piracy is not supported here [13:16] my usb ports are fried, my disks are both shot, all i have is a CDROM drive to hold me over until payday next week and I need to get the nvidia driver working so I can get youtubering done at decent rates in fullscreen mode. [13:16] Wolf23: you didn't buy the game? [13:16] its all computer speak [13:16] Wolf23: that's illegal [13:16] i need to run fsck on my hard drive using a live cd, but i can only find my fedora 9 live cd, will it be ok to use its fsck to scan the ubuntu hard drive? [13:17] As if there is some sort of buffer issue, or perhaps an automatic downgrade of speed due to some errors or something [13:17] bing_: Have you read this? http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/documentation/installation/linux/ [13:17] I'm guessing trying to install the nvidia driver with nearly no removable storage is going to be an improbable if not unlikely task? [13:17] khurag_: okay go back to that first mixer you told me about with asking about the capture. Then, check all boxes in the properties so that even on OUTPUT the microphone is showing up. K? [13:17] bazhang_: the original one has lost, and i download it from a site [13:17] Hello. [13:18] Wolf23, not supported here. Period. [13:18] chimp: that'll be fine [13:18] bazhang_: ok [13:18] cheers soundray [13:18] pici yes i read that i have it open now buyt i know this sounds stupid i really dont know what its asking me to dp [13:18] wiijii, hmm that is a bit strange, maybe it has something to do with the files? like if it is in one place on the hard disk, or spread out. maybe try some benchmarking programs? [13:18] Is there an Ubuntu hardware channel lurking around somewhere? [13:18] Vedalken_:absolutely everything is checked now in the Volume Control window [13:19] bazhang_: but the same files from my old cd before? [13:19] bring2: Yeah I've done some benchmarking with hdparm etc, gives me 60-80 Mb/s (on two drives) [13:19] wiijii, for compatibility or other [13:19] where can i place an executable file so that i can call it up from anywhere? [13:19] I've read some stuff about there being issues with amd74xx driver being required. But I can't modprobe that as the module does not exist [13:19] ... but I think it should. [13:19] bazhang_: just i need to help my cousin,and how to open this file and burn it for play station 1? [13:19] me /usr/bin or for root /usr/sbin [13:19] when ever i type configure in terminal nothing happens [13:20] put it anywhere and adjust your path [13:20] khurag_:do you see in the Mixer itself a slider with Microphone above it? if so, set that slider to all the way up and UN-MUTE it (so an X isn't over the speaker icon) if that doesn't work switch the setting in The sound prefs till it does. [13:20] bing_: did you leave out the ./ ? [13:21] me: /usr/local/bin/ [13:21] Wolf23, please no more discussion of that here. [13:21] How would I go about sending the audio from my Ubuntu box to my Windows box? [13:21] khurag_:by working i mean you can hear yourself coming thru the mic and back to you thru headphones or speakers [13:21] Vedalken_: doing that I hear myself typing and talking in my headset. :) [13:21] what exactly would i type in terminal, /home/bing/fuppes/configure [13:21] Vedalken_: Correct, I can. [13:21] khurag_: then you're all set [13:21] thank you [13:21] Is anyone else using amd74xx? Someone want to do a quick lsmod for me and check please? [13:21] khurag_:i take it you want WINE to use the sound device? [13:21] me: /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are strictly for use by managed packages (codecaine) [13:21] Vedalken_: so that works 100 % for me then? [13:22] how can you append to PATH varible perminate? [13:22] Vedalken_:exactly.. thats my issue :) [13:22] doesn't gome 2.22 have a restore from trash feature? how do i enable it? THanks! [13:22] khurag_:i' [13:22] codecaine: edit your .bashrc file [13:22] khurag_:i'll meet you in #winehq [13:22] ah ty [13:22] codecaine: paths are separated by ':' [13:22] wiijii, hmm sorry im not sure, are you copying the files between hard drives, or within the same HD? [13:23] bring2, Between drives [13:23] Perhaps some problem with chipset drivers - but as I say, I cannot find the amd74xx module [13:23] khurag_: now It's on a folder in my home directory [13:24] I took autorun.exe and opened it on wine [13:24] let's see how this works [13:24] How would I go about sending the audio from my Ubuntu box to my Windows box? - is there a better channel to ask this in? [13:24] can some one please to tell me once the exact line i have to type in terminal to configure this folder for install, its in my home folder its called fuppes my name is bing1, what would the terminal command be [13:25] smellynoser: Do you mean streaming over the network? [13:25] bing_: cd ~/fuppes [13:25] wats the best text program 2 use? [13:25] to use text? [13:25] smellynoser: Or through an output on your audio card? Or just sharing audio files? [13:25] nano is shit [13:25] emacs [13:25] b0xxy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:25] smellynoser, what are you trying to do? like play music on Ubuntu and hear it on the Windows box? probably what you would want to use is something like VLC [13:25] bing_: from then on follow the installation help page.

[13:26] xnv: Yup [13:26] or just use ed, the standard [13:26] hi there [13:27] anybody home? [13:27] Nope [13:27] ok [13:27] bing_: instead of 'su -', type 'sudo make install' when you get there [13:27] smellynoser: Well, that almost entirely depends on your Windows machine. The Linux machine will certainly have audio out, which you'd normally connect speakers to directly [13:27] nope, im at work [13:27] you could connect the audio out of your linux machine to the audio in of your windows [13:28] smellynoser: You'd have to see what inputs there are on your Windows machine and what software support it has [13:29] I have a networkless freshly installed Hardy. How can I automatically download some packages and each of their dependence which is not installed by default?

I'm installing Ubuntu Breezy on an ancient Portege laptop with only a USB floppy drive to boot from. Got the installer loaded but unfortunately, it can't download for the netinstall as brezy no longer exists on the archive. is there any way i can fix this within the ubuntu netinstall interface? [13:54] peitschie: im compiling and installing [13:54] bazhang_: It doesn't seem to work. Can't I just create a chroot environment and run "sudo apt-get -d install foo"? Won't that just download everything needed for foo (disregarding what I already have downloaded to my normal system)? [13:54] bye all [13:54] Mattz: get a later version... Ubuntu Breezy is very outdated [13:54] bazhang_: Or do something similar with pbuilder? [13:55] hi [13:55] well, I cannot find a floppy drive based netinstall of a later version. can you help me alter my current floppy set or persuade it to use a later version? === puesto0 is now known as aruiz [13:58] Mattz: can that boot off just a usb stick? [13:58] no. it's too old a motherboard [13:58] this is literally the only option available to me [13:58] Mattz: does it have windows on it? [13:58] No [13:58] Mattz: that sounds annoying.... i'm not sure if it would run ubuntu very satisfyingly [13:59] is there a specific IRC channel for the "netbook remix" stuff? [13:59] sounds like a job for Puppylinux :) its good with old machines. [13:59] Mattz: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [13:59] Mattz: what are the system specs? [13:59] peitschie: all I want is to get a workable operating system on it from where I can use it as a platform to install other items. The problem is i have no network support until I get something on it. === mboman_ is now known as mboman [14:00] p3 650mhz 256ram 20gb hdd [14:00] Mattz: Have you read this ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [14:01] <_Brun0_> Can anyone help me with Ubuntu 8.04 and Atheros Wireless card? [14:01] Pici: yeah, the network card in it is so old, it doesn't appear to support PXE [14:01] so i'm told anyway [14:02] Mattz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies [14:02] ffx rc2 out, rc1 not even in the regular reps [14:03] Mattz: you'd maybe be best just doing a base debian install for the moment then maybe? With those kind of specs you will probably want a lighter version though such as Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu [14:03] I used to have my running apps in the top right corner near the data & time... How do i get them back? [14:03] peitschie: Sarge install hangs midway through as the laptop does have a real floppy drive [14:03] *doesn't [14:03] Mattz: oh... thats evil! [14:04] Oh yeah. This has been my spare time, self inflicted suffering project for six months. Finally get this far and the distro I was gonna use as a basepoint is too obsolete to get it going [14:04] t35t0r: The RC1 package is still undergoing testing. The new version bring along many dependencies that need to be thoroughly tested. I have heard that it might be moved to -updates next week. [14:04] Mattz, it doesent support cd boot? [14:04] hey all [14:04] how do I get coax sound working [14:04] Mattz, kus if it does maybe you should test the hardware to make sure its not buggy. [14:05] chamunks: I don't have a usb or PCMIA drive to use. Nothing but a USB floppy [14:05] Mattz: are there multiple usb ports? [14:05] Brady-Enterprize: right click pane >add to panel>notification area [14:05] peitschie: nope, just one. :p [14:05] bleh i'll put hardy-proposed into the list [14:05] -- i have a problem with "mounting" an external HD.. it says "cannot mount to volume" .. any help? [14:05] Mattz:... do you have a USB hub? [14:05] Thanks - That worked [14:05] Mattz, and you cant netboot?!!? wow... [14:05] let me see if i've got a powered one. what will this achieve before i go behind the server rack and unplug one? [14:06] seeing mounting in quotes makes me giggle [14:06] chamunks: i can NEARLY netboot. I just need a better set of floppies that support a distro later than breezy [14:06] after the upgrade, it won't load the nvidia driver. so if I use the nv driver, start KDE with it, edit xorg.conf to 'nvidia' and restart X, it works [14:06] what could it be? [14:07] <_Brun0_> Please help me guys with my wireless card on laptop. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17201/ [14:07] Mattz, ill see what i can search up for ya, i just had a bit of a crash course in net boot recently. [14:07] how do i change the widget scheme in gdm? [14:07] chamunks: cool. give me a minute while i go find the original guide i was using. maybe the author has a more up to date guide somewhere [14:07] can i schedule updates to auto start at 12pm nightly [14:08] How do i get WINDOWS KEY + D, for desktop [14:08] whois muslim.com [14:08] hello [14:08] Mattz: you might be able to use a floppy to make it boot off a usb drive ;) [14:08] is bring3 [14:08] is bring2 there? [14:08] heya :) [14:08] AlexW: I have the same question xD [14:09] how do I disable FBO? [14:09] cedega says that nvidia users should disable FBO [14:09] can i find the folder a process is runing from some how? [14:09] Mattz, peitchie has a point usb drives are way better but if the only problem is the version of ubuntu your using it seems like just a matter of finding the more recent version net boot floppies [14:10] when i reboot i go into the boot menu to make sure the sata drive boots up, it goes to grub and ubuntu is at hd(0,0) but i have to change it to 0,1 to boot... at fsck it says the mounted disk is ide when it should be the sata... can grub over-ride bios settings? === cha01 is now known as cha0s [14:10] bleh evince sucks [14:10] cedega says that nvidia users should disable FBO, how do I do it? [14:10] peitschie: sounds like an idea, though if these floppies can be changed it's a done deal [14:10] Brady-Enterprize: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/schedule_automatic_updates_on_ubuntu/ [14:10] reese, use: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, to reconfigure your X [14:11] where is acrobat reader?

Now anytime I go to reboot the system doesn't it's sucks somewhere but I don't know where because all I get is a black screen. [14:13] any ideas ? [14:13] aloha. pals do u know how complete remove apache2 from hardy ... also service from servises !? [14:14] hi everyone [14:14] hey [14:14] how can i remove a directory with content still inside it [14:14] Hi... Hardy has just told me i have 70MB of updates to get. Is it safe not too? Ubuntu has been eating too much bandwidth for updates :( [14:14] rm -rf [14:14] I was wondering; is it possible to change the diff tool kedevelop uses? [14:14] SlonUA: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [14:14] bazhang_: It doesn't seem to work. Can't I just create a chroot environment and run "sudo apt-get -d install foo"? Won't that just download everything needed for foo (disregarding what I already have downloaded to my normal system)? [14:14] b0xxy: please be careful with that command though [14:14] ScarEye have you seen ati howto allready? [14:14] Pici: 1sec i will try ...

[14:15] amikrop: i think it will only download the not installed dependecies [14:15] Lousku: Which file system on the HD, how connected (usb? firewire? esata?) [14:15] me, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:15] amikrop: unless its in a chroot with only a minimal system installed or something [14:16] hi channel [14:16] Mattz, looking into it 1 min [14:16] mgolisch: Can I install a virtual minimal system (with chroot, or pbuilder)? [14:16] Mattz: this might work: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/21/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ [14:16] grml [14:16] icqnumber: tried that [14:16] amikrop: sure [14:16] me, and? [14:16] Pici: yep i do it already but 'Web Server (apache)' still exists ... maybe some config file [14:16] didn't work [14:16] mgolisch: Any ideas how? [14:17] Lynet: connected by usb, how do i know the file system? [14:17] didn't mention anything about video resolution. just keyboard and framebuffer [14:17] hi, I'm not able to mount NFS4 export over UDP [14:17] question: 2nd attempt at making a dualboot xp ubuntu 8.04 installation. Have reached the partitioning bit, but this time around I don't get the 'guided - use freed space' option, but only 'guided - use entire disk', 'guided - use largest continued space' and 'manual'. Wonder if this means the xp partition can't be detected anymore? I'm quite stuck. [14:17] I can't connect to my BT-GPS and get an obex:// error [14:17] me, so you was not doing it good enough [14:17] I'm using Ubuntu Hardy client, and Debian Etch server [14:18] SlonUA: How did you install apache? [14:18] abbe: doesnt nfs4 use tcp only? [14:18] ah [14:18] atleast thats what i allways thought [14:18] Mattz, to be honnest i believe that the release cd's for each distro contain boot.img's for that perticular release [14:18] Pici: automatycly was instaled with Hardy install [14:18] mgolisch: yes, formally nfs4 supports only tcp, but in Linux it also supports UDP [14:19] enyone with advice on kdevelop? how do i specify the diff tool to use? [14:19] Pici: maybe re-install and then purge .. becouse tomcat5 didn't work for me ... and think it's issue in apache !? [14:20] so if i just switch out to a more recent boot.img [14:20] SlonUA: Try removing apache2.2-common [14:20] it'll be able to find it in the archive and install? [14:20] my xorg.conf doesn't make any mention of resolution or drivers or anything. looks like its going by the default on all the settings [14:21] can any one tell me how can i run this c program on ubuntu? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17206/ [14:21] Pici: i already removed all apache2* [14:21] Is it suppose to be links to the kernel in / ? [14:21] org [14:21] me, have you tried, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [14:21] no takers? [14:21] and that hasn't changed after using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or gksu displayconfig-gtk [14:21] !patience [14:21] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:22] kari: no you won't be able to execute [14:22] which is the keep trying one? [14:22] kari: You do have GCC and/or g++ installed, right? [14:22] me, what card are you using? [14:22] although gksu displayconfig-gtk did at least allow me to test out 1024x768 for 15 seconds, but it didn't save the settings [14:22] kari: because it uses some Borland C specific headers, libs [14:22] Ah, that's a good point [14:22] Mattz, im looking at one of the cd's i have but yeah you should be able to get them in any of the dists [14:22] me, have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? === dkT_ is now known as dkT [14:23] icqnumber: yes [14:23] Say, this is probably just me being stupid, but I can't find the setting for disabling daylight savings correction in Heron. [14:23] britta, keep repeating your question, someone should answer, also my guess is that you get the different partition screen because your Linux partition from the 1st try still exists [14:23] Does anyone know where I can find it? [14:24]  bobertdos:yes gcc and cpp... [14:24] thanks bring2... I'm afraid that I'll get told off for being impatient, though *sigh* [14:24] the video card is a Silicon Motion, Inc. SM712 LynxEM+ rev 160 [14:24] kari: As was pointed out, that program uses some Borland headers, which is probably why you're having problems. [14:24] britta, no just wait a few mins between asking, repeating your question is the definition of patience :) [14:25] :) [14:25] bobertdos: are you synchronising via ntp or anything like that...? [14:25] britta, the problem is when you just say "can anyone help me?" or "does anyone know" it is hard to scroll and find your question, it is better just to wait a little while and then repeat the whole question :) [14:25] chamunks: I've got a 7.10 xubuntu disc which I can pop the files out of. the only problem is that it's far larger than a standard floppy. could it be split across them? [14:25] my flash memory has crazed .. and i can cp file on it or create file.. and the output of ( ls -ld /media/disk ) is (drwx------ 2 mrg root 4096 2008-06-05 05:53 /media/disk) i could not change group . permission and another thing .. what shall i do ? [14:25] us.archive.ubuntu.org is really slow [14:25] ** cant [14:26] britta Im sorta awake and I can help ot [14:26] yup, but it's a lng'ish one... can't really shorten it down though. [14:26] is there some sort of speed optimizer for mirrors / apt? [14:26] (apologies for the delay, i' [14:26] britta Are you running livecd now [14:26] hi my english ist not very good sry but how can I see the serverlist by xChat? [14:26] hey, Jack Sparrow... [14:26] how to format it or another solution ? [14:26] there's a yum-optimizer in other distros [14:26] *( i'm running between two machines and the laptop) [14:26] Mattz, it should be maybe ask around ill keep looking kus i wouldnt mind knowing how to do this myself i have a few machines with similar situations. [14:26] live cd is in the drive [14:26] bobertdos:then what should i do to run it on ubuntu? [14:26] trying to install from it, but am stuck [14:26] Mattz, besides i kindof prefer netboot rather than wasting disks all the time. [14:26] britta Will it boot to the ubuntu desktop [14:27] Hello [14:27] I am having some problems with my eth0 connection. I can seem to get it working if I do 'ifconfig xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up'. I have set the ip address to be static [14:27] every body speaks fast.. are there any one could read my problem ???? [14:27] chamunks, ta dude, I'm gonna go do a bit of digging then, poke me if you find something [14:27] it should do that, but the installation process is started.

Ubuntu system^^ [14:27] have reached the partitioning screen [14:27] i need help to remove some update from my grub boot [14:27] britta Cancel the install for right now and get back the the screen with the install icon [14:27] my flash memory has crazed .. and i can cp file on it or create file.. and the output of ( ls -ld /media/disk ) is (drwx------ 2 mrg root 4096 2008-06-05 05:53 /media/disk) i could not change group . permission and another thing .. what shall i do ? [14:28] Mattz, will do [14:28] ok. [14:28] mrglinux, yes, but try to say the whole question at once, then wait a few minutes and repeat it if no one answers [14:28] britta I just want to see how thigs are setup first [14:28] nathan406, do you know what update? [14:28] How to I setup "WINDOWS + D" as a hotkey for going to desktop [14:28] Lloydie-t-> so is it working if you use static? and what happens when you use dhcp? [14:28] yes. got there...

[14:29] yes [14:29] I have a bunch of zip files in a folder. Is there a way to extract each in a way that makes a new folder of the same name? [14:29] AlexW under system->prefrences [14:29] nathan406, you could try using kgrubeditor [14:29] which option is it in keyboard shortcuts [14:29] britta open a terminal.. applications..access.. terminal [14:29] do i ask again ? [14:30] nvm found it [14:30] eugman, what happens if you select a few of them and then do right click -> extract here?

[14:30] has anyone else found that X is not starting with the nvidia binary driver recently? [14:30] mrglinux, wait a couple minutes, then yeah that would be ok [14:30] britta to paste into a term you need to add shift as in ctrl - shift- v [14:31] mrglinux, it is good to have lots of users, then someone might know the answer ;) [14:31] ok [14:31] nathan406-> update? like the new kernels added? [14:31] Jack sparrow, do you mind if we open a private channel? am a bit slow ;) [14:31] I get ' Network is unreachable'. problem is I have tried both static and dhcp settings in interfaces , but I get the same error if I try to ping [14:31] why can't you pick colors outside the GIMP window?

[14:33] Lloydie-t-> thats a clue, if you only get an lo or loopback, and nothing else, you are will not get far [14:33] mrglinux, people that are here alot have no problems, if someone reads your question they can say your name and it will highlight for you :) [14:33] britta It is for your protection.. not that I will intentionally mislead you, and so that others may learn by following along [14:33] Broadcom extreme on dell 1950 [14:33] Lloydie-t: ahhhhh... its a wireless?

I thought these zip files didn't ave a first level folder containing everything. Everyting is fine now. [14:37] ifconfig shows eth0, eth1, lo and the IP address for eth0 is available [14:37] elmer, look for the default conkyrc and edit it as needed putting it in your .conkyrc file. It should be well comented/documented [14:38] Dr_willis, I'll do that if this doesn't work out [14:38] OK I will try to remember that ubotto [14:38] elmer, you can spend weeks tweaking your conkyrc. :) [14:39] how can i like the name of the folder im in like user/etc/src/ kinda thing?

[15:42] pici: yes !!! [15:42] Hi everyone, quick question. I want to update a package that's in hardy-proposed. If I add it to sources.list, `apt-get update`, install just that package (and any new dependenceies), can I then comment out the hardy-proposed line to keep the rest out? Or will I break my craps that way? [15:42] !hostname | pepe_swash please check this [15:42] pici: i have this error for two days [15:42] pepe_swash please check this: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [15:43] vorondil_-> if you are not sure of the update why even try to update? [15:43] hey all, whenever i try to reboot/shutdown i always have to hit the power button again to "force" continuing shut down as it just hangs at my wallpaper. any help? [15:43] amenado: Well, I want to use the network manager to manage my interfaces, and from their documentation, the network manager program will not manage any interfaces in the /etc/network/interfaces file. Is this not correct? [15:43] lastelement0-> if you press ctrl+alt+F1 at the time of shutdown, what was the last message you see? [15:43] amenado: No, I'm sure the package I want is updated in proposed. I just don't want to get the rest of proposed. [15:44] alguien de españa que pueda echarme un cable?

[15:44] thanks [15:44] amenado: i believe its running local boot scripts or something similar i dont exactly remember [15:44] R2LM-> answer my question, where will the settings be retrieved from if its not stored in interfaces file? [15:44] What is the command-line command to launch the GNOME Clock applet? [15:44] pici: thanks, looking at that. [15:44] bullgard4: I told you once [15:44] clock-applet [15:45] lastelement0-> i already suggested a troubleshooting technique, can you do it, and see rather than not knowing exactly response.. [15:45] amenado: sure ill brb then [15:45] vorondil_-> when you do an apt-get upgrade..everything is checked, not one specific apps [15:46] jatt: "detlef@MD97600:~$ clock-applet; bash: clock-applet: command not found" [15:46] amenado: isn't it possible to do sudo apt-get upgrade terminal-name-of-program? [15:46] Hercules dualpix webcam and ubuntu, anyone help [15:46] can anyone help me with screens and understanding a small tutorial with it? [15:46] amenado: I'm aware. I said apt-get update, not upgrade. I'll upgrade the specific package with apt-get install. [15:46] PrivateRolf-> possibly, i can not remember all the lil tips and tricks..

Please educate me if this is not true. === jmhealey is now known as jmhealey_away [15:47] vorondil_-> i believe its same with update, it checks the repositories for all the possible updates, and not just one particular apps lest there is an option to the apt-get that targets only one app [15:48] pici: i'm confused. what hostname should i set? whatever i try still returns the same error. [15:48] R2LM it uses interfaces file! [15:48] pepe_swash: your computers hostname in all of those files [15:49] amenado: of course the one time id like the error to occur it didnt. it shutdown fine on that attempt [15:49] R2LM and what you read about will not work with nic ... that is false [15:49] Yeah, something like that. In any case, what I really want to know is will taking the line out of sources.list after you've installed a package from it break stuff? [15:50] lastlement0: Try restarting X (ctrl+alt+backspace) and then going to options shutdown in the lower right corner === jmhealey_away is now known as jmhealey [15:50] It will bring you to the login screen [15:51] my system keeps telling me that my system administartor has disallowed permission? how do i fix this? [15:51] vorondil_-> it would not break, merely taking out the url source from the list, means it will not be listed and can not be referred to [15:51] restarting X doesnt give me that option [15:52] you sure? I'm not sure where the options button is located (not in ubuntu) but once there, you should be able to shut down [15:52] Well you could always log out and then shut down [15:52] lastelement0-> so it fully shuts down now ? what was the last message you saw when it hangs? [15:52] amenado: well the last time i just shut down it did. sometimes it shuts down [15:52] sometimes it doesnt [15:53] lastelement0-> well try the suggestion i made when it doesnt [15:53] amenado but might it not break at a future update.. vorondil_ [15:53] amenado: Well please excuse my ignorance, I'm just trying to learn here. :) I should mention I would also like to be able to use my connection easily while I'm in KDE, and the knetworkmanager does not work with NICs listed in the /etc/network/interfaces file, as I found out the hard way. So back to my original question, why do I have to restart networking in addition to doing the ifconfig up... [15:53] ...command? [15:54] amenado: Cool, I gotcha. How about when, say, a newer version of the package hits main (or the like). Will the one I installed from proposed get upgraded properly? [15:54] amenado: here's the point where it stops. Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [15:54] What is the abi-2.6.24-18-generic kernel? Can't seem to find it on any package list. [15:54] when i try to print, it just feeds through blank pages. Lexmark z13 [15:55] vorondil_-> as Jack_Sparrow suggested, off course updates for your specific app will not be known as the update will not check that url for new updates [15:55] edju: It's just a kernel. I suggest using a kernel from kernel.org [15:56] hello [15:56] R2LM-> i will repeat, in ubuntu or debian like distro, networking uses the interfaces file! [15:56] hi ubuntu === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu-newbie [15:56] i need a little help [15:56] !ask [15:56] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:56] ok [15:56] amenado: here's the point where it stops. Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [15:57] I have a laptop with a intel centrino core 2 duo t 9300...which version do I install? [15:57] ubuntu-newbie: Ubuntu should work just fine [15:57] lastelement0-> most likely its the network card that hangs.. [15:57] amenado: I see. Really, I just need the proposed package until 8.04.1 next month. [15:57] Depending on the Wireless card it has. [15:57] vorondil_-> then leave it on, [15:57] But it should work on an ethernet connection [15:58] PrivateRolf: the 32bit live version sees only 3.4GB of ram instead of 4GB [15:58] amenado: how would i address this issue then? [15:58] amenado: OK, thank you for clarifying that again, I guess my experience with knetworkmanager must be wrong. But about my original question, do you know why I have to restart networking in addition to the ifconfig up? [15:58] ubuntu-newbie, the 32bit is fine [15:58] maybe I shoud install the 64bit version_ [15:58] ubuntu-newbie: Don't install 64 bit version [15:58] ubuntu-newbie 32 bit.. [15:58] lastelement0-> also check your log files, it will log what it was during shutdown [15:58] my system keeps telling me that my system administartor has disallowed permission? how do i fix this? [15:58] Reason? Not fully compatible with 32 bit programs, a bit harder to use, etc [15:59] ok i-ll install the 32bit version..but what about the 512MB missing? [15:59] so Jack_Sparrow I just installed XChat, how do I block the status messages [15:59] R2LM-> your nic should come up with just ifup nicname [15:59] Neurobuntu right click channel [15:59] amenado: what log do i want to look at for shutdown messages? [15:59] R2LM-> not ifconfig up [16:00] I thought alternate CD would allow me to install bare.. and then build on it myself??? [16:00] It installed the whole thing instead [16:00] ls [16:00] hello world [16:00] lastelement0-> as a learning experience, id like you to browse around /var/log directory..as root off-course [16:00] ubuntu_newbie: When you install a swap space, you should get that RAM back [16:00] TY! TY! TY! [16:00] np [16:00] amenado: OK, why can't I use ifconfig up then? Why is ifup necessary? [16:00] PrivateRolf: thanks... [16:00] what do I need to change in bashrc to get rid of the full path in my prompt and just leave the top dir? [16:00] I will install ubuntu right now!

[17:57] kadu: go to the ubuntu channels in portugues [17:57] is;nt this a bug http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [17:57] KADU - type /join #ubuntu-br [17:57] e fica onde?

[17:58] anirudh0, no, that is not a bug [17:58] i have installed a xubuntu distrib, and after updated my packages with aptitude and I recovered a lot of ubuntu package while I did not want to, how can this be avoided? [17:59] m_, just how to build a target in anjuta so that i could debug it [17:59] Need a little help troubleshooting wireless. It was working fine last night, now it's not seeing any networks. "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" returns "eth1 No scan results". "sudo ifup eth1" tells me "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1" [17:59] Kadu , we don;t speak portugese go to #ubuntu-br [17:59] how can I remove old kernels from my system? === ThirteenYearOld is now known as osxdude [17:59] <_2> i have an oops http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1bdfacd7 [17:59] <_2> newuser_ package manager [17:59] newbee617, sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image- [17:59] ok, [18:00] Another machine in the same wireless network still gets through, so I'm assuming that it's not the router/access point. [18:00] <_2> are thos packages removed from the pool ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1bdfacd7 [18:00] anirudh0, well, you can make it so grub doesnt sho that option, bad for you thoug, also you can search for harden in synaptic, that should work, also there is a better way in which you hold shift printsc and you can override a buch of stuff! [18:00] I went to "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to change some stuff, how do i save my changes? If i press "CTRL + X" all i get is this :^X mode (^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y) === osxdude is now known as osxdude|blah [18:00] After latest update I'm having issues using nautilus to extract Tar files.. anyone else having this issue and have you found a solution? [18:00] how do I install an init script? I copied it to the init.d folder, but what now? [18:00] I have a question [18:00] Jef2: Thats because you are using vi [18:01] ninguem fala potugues ai? [18:01] I know I have fixed this before, but... [18:01] s [18:01] nao consigo acessar o ubuntu-br [18:01] <_2> mok_ sudo update-rc.d man the command for details [18:01] kadu in #ubuntu-br they speak portugese [18:01] Jef2, try gedit instead of vi, so gksudo gedit file [18:01] when I upgraded to 8.04 my brodcom driver doesn't show up in the restricted drivers manager [18:01] Jef2: escape then :wq [18:01] okay, i was told to go to that specific one because i couldnt get the others to work right. [18:02] anirudh0, if you want to prevent someone with physical access from using the system, stopping root password is not the way, you should use a BIOS password or disk encryption [18:02] i got stepmania working [18:02] <_2> mok_ or just manually make a symlink in the runlevel dir you want it to run in. [18:02] thanks to #compiz-fusion [18:02] escape then :wq to save changes to vi? [18:02] I remember I had to reinstall something but I forgot what it was [18:02] Jef2, yes [18:02] Does anybody know what this error means, when building deb files? dpkg-genchanges: error: badly formed line in files list file, line 1 [18:02] bring2, good! [18:03] If I use both dpkg-buildpackage and debuild I get the error [18:03] m_newton, =) [18:03] any ideas? [18:03] Jef2: yep, escape will get you out of whatever mode you're in, then w for write, and q for quit. If you only want to sve (and not quite, just :w [18:03] neurobuntu:install? consola? [18:03] sos?rs [18:03] bring2, but you can also reset it, you have to manually do it [18:03] Neurobuntu: #ubuntu-motu might be of more help [18:04] !en | Kadu [18:04] Kadu: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [18:04] <_2> Neurobuntu means the .list needs edited line one is bad. === owner is now known as puff [18:04] ajtanner, check to see you have proprietary sources enabled in System -> Admin -> Software Sources [18:04] ajtanner, but vi = supper advanced, gedit much more simple [18:04] _2: ahh, I used update-rc.d to do that, but it didn't work, it said the links already existed (but I didn't make them) [18:04] m_newton, yah that is true, if you can open the computer [18:05] Kadu: /join #ubuntu-br [18:05] Kadu: type that [18:05] Kadu, vai pro ubuntu-br [18:05] Right mouse clicking on a gzipped file to extract doesn't work anymore after updates.. command line does however.. before reporting a bug would the consensus be that this is a nautilus issue? [18:05] howdy guys [18:05] _2: where is the .list file [18:05] _2, the packages probably do not exist on your repo...or have;nt been synced yet [18:06] <_2> mok_ you can ls -l /etc/rc#.d/ to see where the link points [18:06] has anyone tried the new firefox RC (3.2) on hardy yet? I'd love to hear experiences. [18:06] Scunizi, why not just get another commpression software? [18:06] Kadu: No one else can hear you, you have not been following directions so I muted you. [18:06] what partitions do i need? 1 50mb /boot, 1 2gb /swap and rest of space as / right? [18:06] vraa: I would suggest a separate partition for /home [18:06] uncle_billy, it is diffrent and some of my favorite plugins dont work,but it is faster [18:07] m_newton, but actually maybe your suggestion is the best, not sure what harden does but there must be some way to prevent any user from resetting system settings? [18:07] <_2> anirudh0 unmirrored dapper i don't think sync would be the issue [18:07] m_newton: not the point.. everything worked fine until the last update.. lots of people rely on the built in functionality of opening zipped files using right mouse click on the file.. [18:07] m_newton - faster than 3.0b5? I think that was the version released with Hardy... [18:07] problem [18:07] stepmania is as choppy as when i run it with wine [18:07] <_2> anirudh0 they may have be erased from the pool though [18:07] bring2, ya but it is harder to use, and well with added secrity user friendly goes down [18:08] wireless, anyone? [18:08] uncle_billy, im using whatever is on hardy-proposed repository, not sure if it is any faster but it is working nice :) [18:08] <_2> Neurobuntu o [18:08] <_2> Neurobuntu i'm not sure when building. but when installing it will go into /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [18:08] o.O [18:08] Kadu: Basta digitar / join # Ubuntu-br direita onde você está digitando agora. Eu estou usando Traduz Google. [18:08] ah, i think that is 3.0b5. Firefox just released 3.2 today.... since I'm doing web development, maybe I'll wait till it shows up in Synaptic. [18:09] m_newton, yeah but im thinking what if you want to set up a public computer in a library or something? have to make sure nobody can reset the root pass [18:09] <_2> Neurobuntu it's one of the dpkg control files. [18:09] uncle_billy, ya a little bit, not as much as 2 to 3 but still faster [18:09] i have terrible-DNS problem, any expert can help me ? i can ping the web-sites and can connect by IP address but cant connect by web-site names, pls someone help me [18:09] _2 oh ya... I'll check it out [18:09] ty [18:09] uncle_billy, naw its one of the RC's but im not sure which, FF3b5 is on 8.04 [18:10] <_2> Neurobuntu along with .[pre|post][inst|rm] files [18:10] bring2 well ya, but chances are that it will be too much troubl, let me find the actual name of harden... [18:10] i have terrible-DNS problem, any expert can help me ? i can ping the web-sites and can connect by IP address but cant connect by web-site names, pls someone help me [18:10] _2 do you know what the files list file is supposed to look like [18:10] atreides.irc-hispano.org [18:11] mthn, are u able to ping google.com for example or do you get "can't resolv etc"? [18:11] _2 I found the file, I'm just not sure what it is supposed to look like [18:11] <_2> Neurobuntu yes. and you can look at any one of them in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ dir to see examples. it contains the list of files (with full path) that the package will install [18:11] nope i can ping it [18:11] bring2, ya it is called harden look for it in symnaptics, but reed the discription before [18:11] m_newton, it is just called harden :) [18:11] okay, Esc :wq worked or partially worked. It saved a few changes but not all. this is what i saved Section "Device" [18:11] Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]" [18:11] Driver "fglrx" [18:11] Option "TexturedVideo" "on" [18:11] Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on" [18:11] Jef2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

This package will not make your system uncrackable, and it is not intended to do so. Making your system secure involves a LOT more than just installing a package. You are recommended to read at least some documents in addition to installing this package.There is a LOT of information available on making your system more secure.A good place to start is with the harden-doc package or at [18:13] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ [18:13] it s late to consult man tom i ll [18:13] but i must fix the problem, [18:13] yes,goodbye friends [18:13] can raid 0 be striped over 4 drives?

Hm. [18:15] mthn, in the telnet do f ex "get index" [18:15] <_2> mthn should contain two lines "nameserver *.*.*.*" where *.*.*.* is the ip of the default dns and the backup dns [18:15] How can I convert some wma files to ogg. They are in subfolders, so I simply search the simplest way to convert them to ogg [18:15] _2, mthn is actually to resolv and ping the domains / ips [18:15] so there is no dns resolv problem [18:16] <_2> oh he can ping ? sorry i missed that [18:16] could anyboby help a nap;)? i try to mount a hdd connected to a fritzbox [18:16] ifconfig -a > crap.txt && cat crap.txt ?

[18:31] *two [18:31] gordonjcp: One last question, It seems that the directory I'm downloading to hasn't got the right privileges. Does it need to have certain permissions?

I do not see these setting and I do have network-manager and network-manager-vpnc installed.. what should I look for? [18:31] vraa, only 1 swap not 2 [18:31] nothing about input/output there.. just the last stuff from the dhclient [18:31] vraa you can only use 1 swap [18:31] well, i have to make 2 for raid0 i think [18:31] vraa ok [18:32] I deleted my icecast2.xml file, then apt-get remove icecast2. However, upon a reinstall the file is not generated [18:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 <-- that's the guide i'm following [18:32] any ideas please? [18:32] vraa but if you want to Hibernate to disk swap must be = or > then ram [18:32] _2, (hilight so you notice it better) nothing about input/output there.. just the last stuff from the dhclient [18:32] oh, so there is a minimum, thanks! [18:33] vraa, only if you want to hibernate, if you don't want to hibernate you can operate without a swap [18:34] <_2> Suprano yeah i saw. i would sujest having the local user disconnect the network and see if it changes. pay close to the disks see if any of them are ripping endlessly... even try killing X and see if it's something there. [18:34] killing y.. good idea [18:34] *x [18:34] <_2> Suprano main idea is to find the cause. [18:34] i do not want to hibernate [18:34] Hello, I'd like to share file between 2 pcs who are on a network, one is on ubuntu, the other on linux and ubuntu, is there some simple application that does that ? samba maybe ? [18:34] how can I completely regenerate the package? when I reinstall the /etc/icecast2/icecast2.sml isn't there [18:34] so you are sure i can continue w/o swap? the installer gives a stern warning [18:34] _2, what about some journaling system? [18:35] i think i wouldn't see these in htop ? [18:35] Nutzebahn, are you running the installer as root? go to the place where it is unpacked and try: sudo sh flashplayer-installer [18:35] i mean.. i see that no app takes the mem or the cpu [18:35] magnetron tape drives like in old Commodore 64 computers? [18:35] i am new to linux. but is it possible to compile some app on one machine and copy the compiled app to another and use it there? [18:35] it must be sth deeper [18:36] how can I completely regenerate the package? when I reinstall the /etc/icecast2/icecast2.xml isn't there [18:36] <_2> Suprano yeah. as per the "watch disk activity" in the sujestion list. also some things inside of X will seem to hide from top [18:36] vraa: yes don't worry about it [18:36] you can always add swap later too [18:36] okay cool [18:36] Is there some gui for GRUB? [18:36] vraa: i've operated without swap before, but if you see performance problems, programs that are really laggy then add swap [18:36] Well, here's an interesting new bit of info. I decided to try rebooting to see if that fixed the wireless. It hung at the tail end of the shutdown phase. [18:37] good advice [18:37] can some1 help me to configure my resolution? i dont have larger res than 800x600 also i've installed nvidia drivers but they arent shown in the "Hardware Drivers" [18:37] <_2> Suprano and network i/o is not seen in top iftop might help there.

[18:59] Hello, I'd like to share file between 2 pcs who are on a network, one is on ubuntu, the other on WINDOWS* and ubuntu, is there some simple application that does that ? samba maybe ? [18:59] scp? [18:59] jokoon samba is for connecting to windoze [18:59] jokoon: Don't ask the question more than once. [18:59] jokoon: scp [18:59] jokoon: What do you mean by "share"? [19:00] How would I go about creating a link from a windows networked file to my desktop [19:00] scp = secure copy; It uses the ssh to transfer files [19:00] transmit files, like shared folders [19:00] can wubi break my windoze xp install? [19:00] I have the network drive mounted and all [19:00] but can't create a link [19:00] skyhawk yes thats why ubuntu is promoting it to get rid of the evil windoze [19:00] jokoon: If you just want to be able to read the file from the PC, you can use WinSCP to download from ubuntu to the PC, or you could install apache on ubuntu and put the file under /var/www (and chmod ugo+r filename). [19:00] does anybody know how to disable the stupid unlock button and go back the to gutsy way of administration [19:00] how do I start csp Neurobuntu ? [19:01] jokoon: On the winbox, download and install the freeware app WinSCP. [19:01] jokoon, is "Secure Copy" You use it to copy from one pc to another [19:01] jokook putty also has it pscp and fscp which a ftp of it [19:01] jokoon: example: scp user@source:dir/file user@dest:dir/file [19:01] I don't need secure, they are on a local network [19:01] why does resizing a partition take hours [19:02] jokoon: If you want to do this a lot, on an ongoing basis, look into samba. [19:02] anyhthing with an interface ? [19:02] jokoon, yes you do b/c linux won't let you do it otherwise [19:02] skyhawk depends on the harddrive size [19:02] jokoon: samba is what you want.. [19:02] Becker_11: ok, you need a partition with the / mountpoint (root). this will hold most of your system files and applications, about 15 - 20 GB is usually enough. you need a swap partition, make 1x to 2x your RAM size. rest of it should be your /home partition [19:02] jokoon: WinSCP has a GUI interface, it looks a lot like windows explorer. [19:02] its 80GB NTFS partition 12% full [19:02] hey people. I need some help configuring my ATI Radeon x1650pro to work properly with tv-out, i.e. making the secondary output (my tv) show videos in fullscreen [19:02] #say Test [19:02] damn [19:02] v0lksman what package should I install ? [19:03] jokoon: samba [19:03] jokoon: I don't think it has a weird name or anything [19:03] thx magnetron I've heard mention of a /boot partition should I create that as well? [19:03] hi [19:03] gparted does these weird optimiztions [19:03] v0lksman and how do I start it ? [19:03] jokoon: Samba is prolly what you want, but is a bit of work to set up. scp is easy - on the ubuntu box "sudo aptitude install openssh-server" (though that's probably already installed). On the winbox, install the WinSCP client. [19:03] jokoon: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [19:03] does anybody know how to remove the "Unlock" button from different sys admin utils [19:03] Becker_11: yes, that's a good idea. i suggest 500 MB for the /boot [19:03] v0lksman ubuntu [19:04] Becker_11: to be on the safe side [19:04] magnetro: 500mb? Isn't that a bit much? [19:04] Neurobuntu: which unlock button? [19:04] Neurobuntu: you can't but you can give your user perms to not be bothered by it I believe [19:04] well I want it to be like Gutsy [19:04] Neurobuntu: 100-200mb should be enough IMHO [19:04] where it prompts for the PW and then I'm good [19:04] Neurobuntu: yes, but i've met ppl that ran out of /boot space after a kernel upgrade. they had a 200MB /boot [19:04] never mind figured it out [19:04] cool magnetron .... [19:04] jokoon: Under Preferences or Admin (I forget which cause I'm in Xubuntu now) there is a "Shared Folders" set it up in there [19:04] my edgy /boot is only 26 MB, and that's been around since 2006 [19:05] err, 26mb used [19:05] its under admin [19:05] jbroome: its udner admin [19:05] jbroome: ok, but do you have all the different kernel versions installed? [19:05] jbroome wow [19:05] Neurobuntu: check out Authorizations in Admin menu in Gnome... [19:05] magnetron: yeah, usually 100mb is fine for /boot [19:06] is there a reliable site with more information on partitions and sizes etc pls [19:06] hey all, i just installed ubuntu hardy and it's really slow on this old laptop.. is it easy to switch to xubuntu or do i need to reinstall? [19:06] Becker_11: they are right, maybe 400MB is more than enough. but be sure to make it larger than 200MB [19:06] Soopa: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :) [19:06] Becker_11: an upgrade is past due. I should have left it on dapper. [19:06] v0lksman: thanks :) [19:06] Soopa: then you have both and can choose when logging in via GDM [19:07] so does anyone here know a lot about configuring tv-out in Ubuntu? [19:07] jbroome: i've met ppl that run out of their 200MB /boot . that's why i recommend a larger partition when being asked in a channel like this. [19:07] sau`: ask them and you'll find out [19:07] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:07] meh [19:07] v0lksman: that's what i got when i did what you said [19:07] Soopa: you already have Synaptic or something else running [19:08] ohhh [19:08] magnetron: I did, but I didn't get a reply at all, which is why I thought it could be a wise idea to find out if anyone knew anything about the subject. otherwise it's a bit unnecessary to ask :) [19:08] there it goes!

It appears to have created 2.6.24-19, uname -r stated 2.6.24-18 . I dug a little deeper and noticed the only file in the 19 folder is the driver. Can I just copy the driver to 18 and delete 19 ?

[20:24] Hi all. [20:25] What do you guys think is the cheapest WiFi adapter that works out of the box with hardy? [20:25] can someone help me install thinkfinger? [20:25] I'd like to report abuse on the Ubuntu-Women mailing list. [20:25] Gralco: which laptop do you have? [20:25] rindolf, try #ubuntu-women [20:25] ubuntu-women o_O [20:25] gateway p172x fx === Lousku_ is now known as Lousku === carnage__ is now known as Number_20 [20:25] I got unsubscribed on my first email, for vague things like being "sexist", or "trollish". [20:25] my graphics are not working properly, it was working perfectly before until i did some updates [20:25] NthDegree: OK, thanks. [20:26] I had Ubutu gusty and my webcam worked perfectly. After I upgraded to Hardy, my webcam stopped working when the video card driver was installed (with compiz). As I uninstalled the driver the webcam started to work, but for some reason it shows only part of the picture it captures. Does anyone have any ideas why this could happen ? [20:26] rindolf: sexist isnt vague [20:26] psyke83: did you check the source of the driver? they were the ones who pointed me to the compiled version [20:26] Gralco: are you sure thinkfinger supports your hardware [20:26] pwnguin gateway p-172x fx [20:26] Hello [20:26] Gralco: are you sure thinkfinger supports your hardware? [20:26] I'm not sure [20:27] pwnguin: it's not, but they claim I was sexist when I was not in fact. [20:27] I'm looking for any clues to install a belkin N1 on a 64 bit system [20:27] !thinkfinger [20:27] Factoid thinkfinger not found [20:27] pwnguin how do i find out [20:27] iam using hp tx1000 , my graphics got ruined after i did some updates so someone help me please [20:27] provided driver is Win32 only [20:27] PCcertified, if you install the deb package and then try "sudo modprobe Intel536", it should work... [20:27] Gralco: lsusb [20:27] Gralco: find the line that shows your fingerprint reader [20:27] Hi, please, I have many virtual hosts in my ubuntu server. I need calculate the transfer data of all http, smpt and pop3 access. How to do that? Thank you. [20:27] NthDegree: I was asked to /part from #ubuntu-women [20:27] help please [20:27] PCcertified, check your dmesg log to see if there's any output (don't paste here) [20:28] So I'm going to discuss it here. [20:28] pwnguin is there a command line for that [20:28] yes [20:28] "lsusb" [20:28] bring2, ok i got proftpd, how to make a ftp server [20:28] rindolf, what exactly is the abuse? [20:28] my graphics are not working properly, it was working perfectly before i did some updates.. my graphic card is nividia [20:28] i'm trying to configure squid.conf. but must use the root account [20:28] psyke83: does it matter if it's not in the same kernel folder ? as I mentioned uname reports 2.6.24-18 and the driver is located in 2.6.24-19 [20:28] !ot | rindolf [20:28] rindolf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:29] NthDegree: this is my original email - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-women/2008-June/001544.html [20:29] how do i go to root account in ubuntu? [20:29] other than the sudo? [20:29] how to go to root in ubuntu???? [20:29] Could anyone recommend an application to monitor how much I'm downloading each month? Thanks. [20:29] !root [20:29] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:29] inaru, sudo su [20:29] hello. does anyone know how to prevent apt-get or aptitude from starting a service after installing it? [20:29] sudo su [20:29] ok, thx [20:29] Gin,next to Wlan0: it ssays ESSID [20:29] cool [20:30] So that means my care works? [20:30] sudo su [20:30] PCcertified, no, you must be looking at the wrong instructions. Download the deb here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gyw21am21wm then install it with dpkg [20:30] card* [20:30] NewfieLinux: do you know how to conenct to a wireless network on Ubuntu? [20:30] No I just noticed the tool thing in the corner [20:30] that will install the driver, and it uses symlinks so that it can theoretically work with later kernels [20:30] dont know how to use it [20:30] e.g., I could run "apt-get install apache2" with some option that would install apache, but not *start* apache. [20:30] NewfieLinux: a small computer icon on the top right corner? [20:30] if i use vi command, and want to insert on the conf file, i just type "i" right? [20:30] inaru please dont sudo su [20:30] m_newton, it should be running now, if you want to change the configuration try installing gproftpd [20:31] Yah [20:31] lshw gives me a "RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller" ; from realtek i've got only RTL8111B/8168B matching. [20:31] I am getting 404 on a number of packages when I try to apt-get them; should I apt-get update? Also, this is a production server running LTS, that I just took charge of, no idea how long since apt-get update was run. Is this a completely safe operation? [20:31] pwnguin now what [20:31] i need to rebuild my X.org DRI module but autoconf says "cant find dri2proto"... what package do I need to install? [20:31] is it the good one ? [20:31] how do i log in? to ftp [20:31] Gralco: lsusb is the command line you need. just paste the line that says fingerprint reader to me :) [20:31] NewfieLinux: if you click on that icon, you should see the possibility to connect to a wireless network, it should give you a list of wireless network. [20:31] Hi, please, I have many virtual hosts in my ubuntu server. I need calculate the transfer data of all http, smpt and pop3 access. How to do that? Thank you. [20:31] zephyr: you only need to type "i" to insert using the vi command right? [20:31] When I do it [20:31] i dont see a list [20:31] Hi I thought about buying a wlan device for my PC, propably through USB. do these work fine in Ubuntu? or should I be careful? [20:32] Btw the icon is 2 little computers :P [20:32] pwnguin ummm i don't see one [20:32] inaru: right, the 'i' command puts you in insert mode in vi. [20:32] Gralco: pastebin the whole output then and link it to me [20:33] inaru: hit ESC, then type ":wq " to save your changes and quit [20:33] On my new computer, Ubuntu seems to have trouble with integrated Intel GMA 3100: chipset G33 I think [20:33] in compiz, when I open a window X restarts [20:33] is it something with the drivers, and in that case what? [20:33] thanks for any help [20:33] ktheory: but, it still can't be inserted. on the file property root user have access to read n write [20:33] was wondering if anyone has had any luck with kodak AiO Easyshare 5500? [20:33] ? [20:33] i have a bit of an issue .. .lately (i think since the latest kernel update) my laptop will hang during boot (about 15-20% of the progress bar is highlighted when this happens), and no amount of keypresses does anything - i have to shut down the laptop and try again. sometimes it works the 2nd time around, sometimes i have to repeat this 3-4 times before it finally boots (but i have made no changes in between boot [20:33] attempts)... any idea on what might be causing this? [20:33] vix: if you can, plug it in before you buy and see whether it gets recognised. It's alos good to google model numbers + "linux" or "hardy". [20:33] Gid: it working now !!! thanks you make my day !, do you suggest i should report this issue it should be auto replace on upgrade [20:34] psyke83: I am not looking at any instructions... I already downloaded and installed the driver but the driver was not loaded. so I looked around and noticed the multiple kernel versions. Do you see what I'm getting at. If in install it again, won't it just create a 2.6.24-20 [20:34] achadwick: okay, but in general, doesn't mostly of the usb devices work perfect in linux? [20:34] ktheory: and how to i exit the root user? i type exit and close the terminal, but when i open it again and type sudo su, it doesn't ask for password anymore [20:34] i'm trying to make a .flv into something my DVD player can play ( XVid, mpeg4, etc), the encode goes fine but the video is fubar, I'm guessing the output of mplayer isn't want transcode thinks it is (RGB vs YUV?) but not sure how to fix, anyone farmiliar with transcode? [20:34] Gin please.......Also what thing do I click when I click on the icon,theres connect to a network,create a network and manual configuration [20:34] how do i log in? to ftplike what is my username and all [20:34] hi, im using a flash player that makes you click a button before you load flash content. I want it to load flash content on at least localhost. whats my first step? [20:35] PCcertified, the deb file creates the folders 17,18,19,20 with the driver, but in reality they are all symlinked to one driver [20:35] tesseracter, are you talking about the "Flash Block" plugin for mozilla? [20:35] inaru: 'sudo' remembers your password for several minutes...that's working as expected. [20:35] if you upgrade kernels, it should continue to work - *in theory* [20:35] m_newton: you have to configure your ftp first [20:35] NewfieLinux: it seems this chipset is a bit troublesome see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762984 [20:36] vix: I can't answer that - I haven't tried all of them! But lots will work just fine. Especially storage, most cameras, ipods. Webcams can be tricky IMX, but maybe I've just picked bad ones. [20:36] rrowell, i dunno, its a big triangle(play button) [20:36] * rev667 has made a boo-boo and hosed his ubuntu :( therefore, i want to ask, can I just re-install from the CD (dual-boot vista laptop) and hoe does it affect grub? [20:36] ktheory: can i change the time interval to 0? [20:36] psyke83: so you're saying I don't have to copy the file into -18 since uname states I am using -18 and the driver does not appear in -18 [20:36] *how [20:36] ktheory: so it don't remember the password as i type exit? [20:36] yeah, go to "tools" then "addons" and click on flasblock [20:36] fine, dont help me, see if i care [20:36] any DNSMASQ users here ? how do i set it as a simple DNS cacher only for my local net ? [20:36] pwnguin where do i paste it [20:36] achadwick: okay I see.. and also printers could be problems also :P [20:36] tesseracter: Then you can add "approved" sites or turn it off completely... [20:36] m_newton, idk you would have to check the docs === daniel_ is now known as daniel [20:37] jedimind: lol [20:37] no transcode people in the house? [20:37] hello worlddddddddddddddddddd [20:37] PCcertified, unless you deleted something, the driver should be in the 18 folder, you need to manually load it: "sudo modprobe Intel536" [20:37] naiem_: from where? [20:37] m_newton, you can try username "anonymous" on port 21 [20:37] jedimind: is it a laptop? [20:37] jedimind: trying stating you question in one line. [20:37] Lebanon GUYS:D:D [20:37] vix: for printers, check http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting (formerly linuxprinting.org) [20:37] any1 from Beirut ? [20:38] NewfieLinux: try post message #2, that might help. before you do anythig, try lsmod | grep bcm if that returns bcm43xx, then the correct driver is loaded, if not, then you need to load it manually by using sudo modprobe bcm43xx then try to connect. good luck [20:38] rrowell, looks like it isnt intalled - the only flash plugin is called "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100" [20:38] what is my server? [20:38] There will also be ubuntu-specific info on the ubuntu.com wiki, no doubt. [20:38] achadwick: okay thnx :) [20:38] I got the loading it part, it was never in -18 that was the whole point of my question, just wanted to know if I should copy there before modprobe [20:38] psyke83: read above [20:38] m_newton, "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" [20:38] How do I do a manual load? [20:38] PCcertified, you don't need to copy, it's symlinked, I already answered your question [20:39] tesseracter, You are looking in the wrong place then, cause I have flash9 and it isn't listed under "add-ons" [20:39] it's not symlinked in -18 [20:39] NewfieLinux: man file [20:39] pwnguin http://pastebin.com/mb2b6620 [20:39] inaru: You can change how long the 'sudo' command with cache your credentials by setting the 'timestamp_timeout' paramets in the Defaults section of /etc/sudoers (google it for more info)...but most people just leave the default. [20:39] Huh? [20:39] guys I'm on Ubuntu but I have different need of help at this time [20:39] tesseracter, Tools->add-ons, then make sure you are on the "Extension" tab [20:39] NewfieLinux: open a terminal and type eg "man ftp" [20:39] rrowell, or i have a different version... [20:39] hello [20:40] tesseracter, doubtfull [20:40] brb [20:40] our game community needs help [20:40] and I'm wondering if this channel could help for a minute with our cause [20:40] tesseracter, i have both FF2 and FF3 installed here and it is the same on both [20:40] psyke83: there is no link in -18 for my modem, no symlinks, no regular links none. the only links for my modem are in -19 and now -20 since I reinstalled the driver per your earlier suggestion [20:40] NewfieLinux: read my message again [20:40] tesseracter, tools->addons, then look at the extensions tab [20:41] ktheory: thanks for the info [20:41] PCcertified, I tried to install that package and it gave an error [20:41] we need people to vote for our game Uniball at www.mpogd.com [20:41] well [20:41] psyke83: for me I did not get an error [20:41] rev667: yes its a laptop [20:41] !ot | McCheese [20:41] McCheese: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:41] PCcertified: it wouldnt fit on one line :) [20:41] xchat broke it up onto two lines [20:42] i have a bit of an issue .. .lately (i think since the latest kernel update) my laptop will hang during boot (about 15-20% of the progress bar is highlighted when this happens), and no amount of keypresses does anything - i have to shut down the laptop and try again. sometimes it works the 2nd time around, sometimes i have to repeat this 3-4 times before it finally boots (but i have made no changes in between boot [20:42] attempts) [20:42] damnit! [20:42] * jedimind gives up [20:42] jedimind: i suspect the power management, i cannot boot ubuntu on battery power, but if it's on mains its fine... found no cure yet [20:42] jedimind: try another kernel [20:42] so no transcode people... Does anyone know of a different program to turn .flv into xvid or mpeg4? [20:42] jedimind: then describe it briefly and use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to provide details [20:42] if you could help us send me a whisper [20:43] rev667: good point ... the thing is - if i try enough times it eventually boots just fine [20:43] on battery power [20:43] wish mine would :( [20:43] rrowell, yep, no flash or flash related thing, but under "plugins" it is listed as 9.0 r100. the synaptic package im using is "flashplugin-nonfree" [20:43] how do i create a new partition? I cant seem to find the partition manager. [20:43] 'apt-get' update gives me 404s. This appears to be edgy. Any clues? [20:43] I am installing 8.04 with an alternate CD right now, as we speak, Is there X on alternative CD!??! [20:43] does anyone know of a widget to just display album art on your desktop? [20:43] noxix: use fdisk [20:43] tesseracter, so there is nothing at all on your extensions tab? [20:43] PCcertified, the deb package uses faulty logic and I had to --force-depends to install, and even then it refused to load the kernel module for me. Sorry, but I can't help. All I can suggest is that you try to reinstall the deb package if you have upgraded your kernel since the first time you installed the package [20:43] helooo [20:43] oooh tesseract, you a fan of a wrinkle in time ? [20:43] kk [20:43] brb [20:44] when you go to tools->add-ons and click the "extension" tab up top (looks like a puzzle piece) [20:44] tesseracter, you get nothing on that page?

You should read also how to work with gpg. You can implement it in mail etc, but there are rules and proper procedures to keep it reliable and secure. If you use command line tool you can encrypt using paraphrase only, and you can make nautilus script with this functionality.

[21:29] Jack_Sparrow: i wouldn't copy and paste a command like that.. i know enough to add the folder before it. i want to delete a directory that has a ton of directorys/files inside it === annoiato is now known as regina_inghilter [21:29] mordof that command will remove everything on your partition [21:29] noxix, only if you can safely unmount it [21:29] bring2 hey FTP help?' [21:29] bring2, but i cant WHILE running my distro right? [21:30] m_newton, what is the problem, please be more specific [21:30] mordof: To delete everything inside a folder called sample in your home folder it would be rm -rf /home/$USER/sample [21:30] is there a graphical tool for configuring tv-out? === regina_inghilter is now known as weltall [21:30] Jack_Sparrow: lol, fun... *didn't notice the space anyhow* lol.. was trying to rum rm -r -f folder/*.* heh [21:30] does anyone know where a config file lays to control what folder displays its contents on the desktop? [21:30] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the link, but a bunch of meetings would have to take place before I could do that, so I was looking for a stop-gap. [21:30] noxix, probably not, but it depends on if you have linux installed to /dev/sda1 or somewhere else [21:30] bring2 are the users in ftp same as users in computer [21:30] proftpd set user access [21:30] its on sda1 [21:30] Why do I get this every time I run a command? '_IceTransSocketINETConnect() no usable address for lambda.ryanak.ca:39287' [21:30] bleh i knew i shouldnt have done the whole disk install [21:30] m_newton, i don't know, it depends on the ftp server program [21:31] thanks for the help === Syntux is now known as Jad [21:31] porftpd set user access [21:31] after doing a bunch of ubuntu updates a couple of days ago, I can no longer print to my LAN printer (it has an IP). Other machines here in the office (windows machines, primarily) can print without problems to same printer. The jobs just get stuck in the queue with status "stopped". Any ideas on how to fix? [21:31] NewfieLinux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=734003 [21:31] davidmccabe: This may sound dumb, but is there no way to just google the package you want? === Jad is now known as Syntux [21:31] NewfieLinux: do you have the windows drivers? [21:31] sorry meant brink [21:31] kapystin, and m_newton, try installing gproftpd that will help with config [21:31] No [21:31] davidmccabe: Or perhaps build the python dev package from source? [21:31] how can i list the drives (not the partitions) that are attached to the computer? [21:32] ASULutzy: ty kindly. not sure why someone would want to give me a command like yoffie over there in the first place, lol -.-; [21:32] vbox_drv, try: sudo fdisk -l [21:32] Think I found the windows [21:32] driver [21:32] bring2 any other way- i want just the drives listed, not the partitions [21:32] mordof: lol, no problem, glad to see you didn't erase your entire root partition :P [21:32] vbox_drv: you can also run gparted [21:32] I did, for some reason still can't set users, when I try to connect from different pc it goes thru, but gives incorrect login message [21:32] With respect, Anyone have a suggestion on my desktop/disk IO issue, or should I file an "official" bug report?

[21:33] un2him need to do it within the terminal [21:33] vbox_drv, oops hehe, well that should list the drives and partitions separately [21:33] vpalle: there's grandr, but I've never gotten s-video to work with my intel card [21:33] ASULutzy: lol xD wouldn't have been a big deal. it's a server comp just for my websites that i work on to host them - all my info is on my main computer too, only thing it would cause is me to reinstall the services i use / probably ubuntu in general [21:33] dcbdbis: I didn't see if you answered my question before, does dmesg report anything weird going on? [21:34] kapystin, sorry i don't have that installed, check out http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/ [21:34] dmesg doesn't report anything.... [21:34] ASULutzy, thx, I'll try it [21:34] Why do I get this every time I run a command? '_IceTransSocketINETConnect() no usable address for lambda.ryanak.ca:39287' [21:35] ASULutzy: Building from source was what I was asking about. I couldn't find the dpkg on the web.

[21:37] is there any good writing recognition software for ubuntu (for use on a tablet) [21:37] Would it work to put it on my psp and transfer it(like using a usb stick) [21:37] And no [21:37] NewfieLinux: cable connection?

[21:39] Too close a call [21:39] without having to go through a menu to save the picture? [21:39] connor: It's built in, just push printscreen or alt printscreen [21:39] Gin? [21:39] NewfieLinux: not really, you still need an internet connection to use that file to fix it [21:40] Hmmm [21:40] Jack_Sparrow: mhmm :s [21:40] uh [21:40] that brings up a menu [21:40] some items in my trash folder won't delete with the simple right click and select empty trash method - do i need to use a sudo command or something? [21:40] and when im playing a game that isnt too convinent [21:40] Well thats gay === jedimind is now known as pud [21:40] connor: That's why you're supposed to post your question on one line instead of multiple ones [21:40] so i need a good screenshot program === pud is now known as jedimind [21:40] Connor [21:40] are there any programs like what i need?

Is this normal compared to Gnome which worked stable for about 6 months. [21:43] matija: Not sure how you got 8.04 running for 6 months already. It's only June. [21:43] So I just put that on a CD/usb and bring it to my linux and install it? [21:43] how to i get to usr/bin/screenshot? [21:43] Creeture, did I say I was running 8.04 ?? [21:44] Creature, hehe he meant 7.10 or 7.04 [21:44] how to i get to usr/bin/screenshot? [21:44] Which one of these do I get? http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/ [21:44] ok seriously! Mouse lag! What's the deal? [21:44] Anyone installed ubuntu on an eeepc? [21:44] so can anyone give me any answer ? [21:44] hey, ive misplaced my mouse (actually cant find it ;~)) is there anyway i can use some sort of keyboard combo or something to controll the mouse? [21:44] I have a mobility radeon x600 and the latest drivers [21:45] I have x700 [21:45] matija: Nope. Don't use KDE here. Sorry. [21:45] Bodsda: some combination of ctrl/shift/alt/meta/windows/bucky and the numpad keys might get you there. [21:45] Bodsda: Not really. You can tab around and use the space bar a lot. Alt-Tab to switch windows and such. Or hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and do it all from the commandline like the good old days. [21:46] * achadwick forgot apple and splat too. [21:46] ATi drivers are miserable on Hardy [21:46] Anyone agree?

[21:46] thanks for ur help :D [21:46] LoL [21:46] Creeture, any idea where rythmbox stores its playlists? itsnot ~/.rythmbox i would use cli but i dont know where all the things r ;~) === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco [21:46] NewfieLinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy [21:46] achadwick, meta?? [21:46] LiquidPsyrix: I have an ATI card, 2900XT, I had to write my own script to reorder my mtrr tables just to get fglrx working with 4 GB of RAM. Overall for Ubuntu I hear much better stories from Nvidia than ATI [21:47] 8-) I still enjoy the system tho [21:47] NewfieLinux: download that [21:47] Bodsda: Yeah. It's down under .gnome2/rhythmbox somewhere [21:47] So this? bcm43xx-firmware [21:47] Creeture, wicked cheers m8 [21:47] eeek.. so no hope to reduce my mouse lag then? [21:48] wait [21:48] NewfieLinux: download b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb [21:48] Well hello there bodsda :D [21:48] is saving in /usr/bin a good idea? [21:48] hey guys [21:48] or is it? b43-firmware [21:48] can someone help me? [21:48] hello ost2life [21:48] GIn [21:48] i alan [21:48] Gin* [21:48] we can if you give us the issue your having :) [21:48] NewfieLinux: this http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb [21:48] okay, here it is. for some reason my left mouse button has packed up [21:49] alan_m, hey dude,.,.help me!! ive lost my mouse! hah,.seriously is there a keyboard mouse ? [21:49] anyone know good CAD software? [21:49] Gin,put it on a usb and install it via linux? === platyhelminth is now known as albert3 [21:49] NewfieLinux: yes [21:49] smallfoot-: Define "good". [21:49] works fine on my mothers comp, but on my comp its dead, all the other buttons work fine though [21:49] can somebody explain user access to a noob here :D? [21:49] Then wireless SHOULD work [21:49] NewfieLinux: it should work [21:49] Bodsda, yeah theres an accessability feature in ubuntu called mouse keys, it works for things like this. [21:49] kk brb [21:49] (alternate usage rocks!) [21:49] ost2life: Check that your mouse isn't set left handed or something silly. [21:49] alan_m, how can i enable it? [21:49] NewfieLinux: just double click that file to install [21:49] Creeture: done that [21:49] alan_m: Never knew that [21:50] it's not [21:50] so if I have an ati video card i wil just have to live with mouse lag? === albert3 is now known as albert [21:50] Creeture, easy to use, compliant with standard CAD file formats === albert is now known as albert1 [21:50] ASULutzy, im a paraplegic, so i figured all the access features ;) [21:50] NorthLioness: I have an ATI card and experience no mouse lag? What's the issue [21:50] can someone help me setup PROFTPD real quick?? [21:50] Bodsda, can i get back to you with that? i forgot how :) [21:50] alan_m: I wish they'd get some decent speech recognition stuff for Linux [21:51] alan_m: I'm lazy, to heck with typing [21:51] I connected a laptop hard drive to a usb case, the hard drive has a hardware password. how do I read it or put in a password? [21:51] smallfoot-: Then no. The CADs of the world are not easy to use. AutoCAD works, but it's not easy, and it's expensive. The free and/or cheap CAD packages don't read/write autocad format, so they're essentially useless. [21:51] well.. the mouse is slightly laggy in the OS. not a lot but enough to be very annoying... but in games the lag is terrifying.. people say the latest video drivers will help.. but they didnt help me [21:51] alan_m, sure dude,.,. (hopes for answer before lack of music kills him) yeah thanks alot,.,.i had a look in ccsm and couldnt see anything,.,. and i cant access the system menu so a cli variation would help ;~) [21:51] Bodsda, go to your system menu, then go to preferences submenu, and then to assistive technologies, its in htere :) [21:51] well, then scratch my idea Bodsda :/ [21:52] alan_m, how do i get there with no mouse? [21:52] lol how do I adress to particular person in XCHAT? [21:52] Creeture, oh :( [21:52] I found out the issue of desktop response during intensive Disk I/O....... It's Gnome's Nautilus. I installed the XFE file manager (not Xfce), and started a 120Gb transfer.......Desktop remains perky...FYI folks..... [21:52] dcbdbis: interesting [21:52] I'll file a bug report, but XFE is a work around for anyone else having the same issue. [21:52] FTP help anyone? [21:52] Bodsda, im not sure man :/ [21:52] alan_m, i have an idea,.,. can u open up the app on your machine then run top to get the exact name for me plz [21:52] kapystin, install FileZilla, its an easy client [21:53] smallfoot: i meant server :D [21:53] Asulutzy I have an ati mobility radeon x600 [21:53] Bodsda: I found what he's talking about [21:53] kapystin: Ask your question someone may know the answer. [21:53] ASULutzy, anyway i can load it from cli? [21:53] Bodsda: You do exactly what he said, click keyboard accessibility then mouse keys [21:53] Bodsda, its not showing up :/ [21:54] ASULutzy, he doesnt have a GUI atm [21:54] ASULutzy, how can i click on it with no mouse? [21:54] tab? [21:54] How do I set user access in FTP? [21:54] /nick okaratas [21:54] kapystin, oh i havent done server, but i know that people use proftpd glftpd, wu-ftpd === Misafir-bilmemka is now known as okaratas [21:54] ASULutzy, you cant get to the gnome-panel with tab [21:54] clear [21:54] alt+f1 to get to applications [21:54] then push right twice [21:54] sorry i am sorry.. [21:54] etc [21:54] alan_m, damn -- well cheers m8,., [21:54] smallfoot:yeah thats what I am trying to setup, having a little difficulty [21:54] ASULutzy, thanks thats what i was trying to find! I love you dude! LOL! [21:54] lol [21:55] I connected a laptop hard drive to a usb case, the hard drive has a hardware password. how do I read it or put in a password? [21:55] ctrl+alt+tab will cycle through panels as well [21:55] keyboard shortcuts=win [21:55] is the best method to forcefully empty the trash rm -rf $HOME/.Trash? [21:55] ASULutzy, +1 :) === Tyczek__ is now known as Tyczek [21:55] Anyone PROFTPD? [21:55] laeg, you might be asking for trouble if you remove the entire folder .Trash [21:55] kapystin: just aptitude install proftpd and it works. [21:55] Does anyone know a good tutorial for or readme for mgetty or vgetty setup and use? [21:55] laeg: use rm -rf ~/.Trash/* [21:55] alan_m: some dirs are staying in there [21:56] ASULutzy, cheers dude!!! alan_m can u give me the path again plz [21:56] possibly because there's read only stuff in them somewhere [21:56] can anyone give me the link to windows channel or help with my windows problem lol? [21:56] bodsda, system->preferences->assistive technologies [21:56] I have it installed with GUI and everything, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it [21:56] ali_: #windows [21:56] alan_m, funkyHat: can i add rm -rf ~/.Trash/* to my right click popup menu on the trash icon? [21:56] alan_m, ty m8 -- you and ASULutzy = lifesavers [21:56] Bodsda: using GNOME (Ubuntu)? Press and navigate to System > Preferences > Assistive Technology, tab to Keyboard Preferences, Return, Tab, Right, Down, Space to toggle, Alt+C to close [21:57] hi i have a total newbie question. i'm running gutsy. i just installed recordmydesktop. it doesn't recognize my soundcard. their faq says to use gnome-mixxer to configure it. is that best practice? it doesn't seem to be preinstalled. any advice much appreciated [21:57] Bodsda, any time i can help i try :) [21:57] Actually, just to close. [21:57] How come I dont get tab finishing commands in console in kubuntu ?? [21:57] laeg, you might be able to im not sure. [21:57] matija: sudo apt-get install bash-completion maybe [21:58] matija up arrow [21:58] oh, I misunderstood [21:58] alan_m, funkyHat: ty [21:58] Jack_Sparrow, up arrow just shows last command used [21:58] for precious commands [21:58] sorry [21:59] I am using OS X Terminal.app and ssh into a ubuntu machine. When I use nano (the editor) on this machine, there is a problem redrawing all what is necessary when I scroll text [21:59] lol, bash-completion is the first thing I install [21:59] funkyHat: that command isn't working [21:59] whenever I have a fresh install of ubuntu [21:59] this sucks. when I type sudo apt- TAB I just get error sound. [21:59] I have Terminal.app set to declare terminal as xterm [21:59] matija: hit tab twice? [21:59] I get two sound error [21:59] previously I used xterm-color which gave a problem with backspace acting as delete (only in nano) [21:59] laeg: what does 'ls -al .Trash' give you? [22:00] matija: you have to tap it twice really fast [22:00] yeah I tried [22:00] its kubuntu [22:00] matija: did you edit anything? [22:00] nope [22:00] so fresh so clean [22:00] alan_m, ok i got that window up but cant work out how to use my keyboard as a mouse [22:00] when I type apt- and tab it finishes [22:00] funkyHat: no such file or dir... which is odd [22:00] but when I type sudo apt- it doesnt [22:00] so maybe sudo command does something [22:01] Bodsda, arrow keys [22:01] matija: what if you actually become root with sudo su and then type apt- [22:01] Does it complete then? [22:01] matija: bash completion works by matching the executable (sudo in this case) and its options. sudo is one of the generic ones that doesn't do full completion. [22:01] matija: oh, yes, you have to do something extra for that. I forget what though [22:01] bodsda, arrow keys and if you have the number pad 5 is left click. [22:01] But that said, mine works... [22:02] Creeture: tab completion for sudo works for me [22:02] the thing is that it worked like that on gnome. [22:02] alan_m, can u gimme a step by step from when assistive tech thing window is up -- like what should i enable first? [22:02] looks like its back to gnome for me [22:02] kubuntu has too many bugs already [22:02] matija: go gnome or go home [22:03] matija: It might be something as simple as kde terminal not execing a login shell. try running gnome-terminal (if it's installed) and see what it does. [22:03] is there a simple (as in - as simple as 'cp') commandline tool that will show progress? [22:04] Bodsda, come to our other room or something, im trying to go with 3 windows and its getting confusing. sorry. [22:04] Overand: Progress of what? [22:04] the progress of the copy. [22:04] is dapper the newest server version ? when i try to install i only have php5.1 [22:04] i.e. datarate, percentage done, etc [22:04] Overand: rsync -P sourcefile targetfile [22:04] ranza: there's a server release of 8.04 [22:04] Creeture: Ah! good idea, thanks [22:04] can anyone help me find out why I cant find any packages, either through synaptic so apt-get?

[22:05] ranza, its hardy [22:05] !hardy | ranza [22:05] ranza: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [22:05] Overand: rsync maybe? [22:05] alan_m: awesome :) [22:05] alan_m, i cant -- because i cant seem to tab around in xchat [22:05] ranza: there's also a direct upgrade path from dapper to hardy. [22:05] Overand: never mind, someone said that already :) [22:05] wow, this is getting complicated bodsda! :) [22:05] jrib: yes - thanks =] [22:05] Does anyone remember a linux game a played once, where there were multiple race cars, and you had to go around but never cross your tail. It was multiplayer, kinda like a 3D version of the snake game [22:05] alan_m, come to #stupidMouse [22:05] Overand: well i just want to use apt-get :) [22:05] * mozillamonks can't find it :( [22:05] mozillamonks: armagetron [22:06] Overand :) [22:06] mozillamonks: google 'armagetron advanced' [22:06] * mozillamonks grabs it [22:06] it's also mac, and windows, and it's based on the 'electric bikes' scene fromt he 1980s disney movie "Tron" [22:06] I got Hardy Heron a few days ago. Starting about yesterday some programs won't make any sound. Banshee, Dragonplayer, Pidgin, and (I think) the startup sound all work. Games, Rhythmbox, Firefox/Youtube, and Totem don't. I looked through some of the sound problems thread, but it didn't seem to be relevant. [22:06] Gin [22:06] mozillamonks: which is also based on OOLLD video game like "Surround" (for the atari 2600) [22:06] Im on my linux right now! [22:06] Wireless works!

[23:34] legend2440: I last updated on wednesday morning, let me check if there are more updates now [23:34] Usiu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:34] fyrestrtr: It seems to be all appz that require sudo. If I know the name of the app, I can start it fine from the command line. [23:34] !enter | Usiu [23:34] Usiu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:34] frego_: how are you starting it from X? [23:35] fyrestrtr: $sudo synaptic & [23:35] frego_: you don't need elevated access for most applications that run in gnome. [23:35] frego_: you need to use gksudo [23:35] or $gksu synaptic works fine [23:35] legend2440: I've also always got a spike in CPU running gnome-system-monitor, i'm guessing it is a similar issue [23:35] I did set auto in partition->preferneces and tab volume and drive.. after restart it does not mount them, and I dont see those tabs in preferences anymore [23:35] @drash thanks [23:35] how to fix it? [23:35] fyrestrtr: the exact error message when trying to send files via bluetooth: Operation not supported by backend [23:35] frego_: gksudo and gksu are not the same thing. [23:35] no? [23:36] no. [23:36] hmmm... I'll try gksudo [23:36] does anyone know if there is a way to prevent fsck running when one only has access to grub? [23:36] !fsck [23:36] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:36] legend2440: Updating my system now, Will let you know if it still happens [23:36] Any help? [23:36] anyone know how to show cached memory in conky? [23:37] fyrestrtr: ahhh.. a clue.. gdsudo does the starting administrative app thing and then disappears! [23:37] must be something wrong with gksudo [23:37] Jack_Sparrow: As i said, when one only has access to grub, i dont have the ability to run touch /fastboot [23:37] frego_: doubt that highly :) [23:37] Hi all. I'm having an issue with my laptop fan. It's an intel mobo (i8k) and the fan won't stay on, even when the thing is plugged in and gets really hot. If I run the utility i8kfan to turn it on, it turns on for a second, and then turns off. What can I do? [23:37] * monkeyBox doesn't want his laptop to melt... [23:37] fyrestrtr: well.. something hosed on my box with it anyhow [23:37] Rampage: yes probably. i haven't had that problem with system monitor. ok thanks i would appreciate knowing if it got fixed for you [23:38] fyrestrtr: This machine has been upgraded from 6.10-> 7.04-> 7.10 [23:38] probably time I do a fresh install [23:38] Hey, is there a utility I can use to make phone calls via my modem assuming I have the drivers for it? [23:38] monkeyBox: get your fan fixed. [23:38] fyrestrtr, it works fine in windows [23:38] so, fan doesn't need fixing [23:38] ffm: not really [23:38] Rampage: you may need to reboot for fix to take effect [23:38] gordonjcp: damn. [23:38] fyrestrtr: no idea about the bluetooth topic? when I googled, I got no good replies. no one seems to know what's going on [23:38] monkeyBox: ah hah, little nuggets of information like that help. [23:38] fyrestrtr: maybe I should do a dpkg reconfigure on gksudo? [23:38] gordonjcp: how about faxes? [23:38] heh, sorry [23:38] ffm: yeah, you can do faxes [23:39] ffm: these days it's cheaper and easier just to use VoIP [23:39] legend2440: Thanks for the hint. Lets see if it does it :-) [23:39] ffm: for the telephony side at least [23:39] yedday: you need to make sure your bluetooth backend services are installed and running. [23:39] Rampage: ok [23:39] <_wintermute_> hm anyone having problems with emerals not load right? [23:39] <_wintermute_> emderald [23:39] <_wintermute_> sdfkasjf [23:39] _wintermute_: easy for you to say... [23:39] yedday: like bluez-gnome and gnome-bluetooth [23:40] <_wintermute_> no no it isnt lol [23:40] /me is resorting to: while true; do sudo i8kfan 2 2; sleep .5 &> /dev/null; done [23:40] _wintermute_: no emerald rund just fine .. any errors ?

[23:41] wait [23:41] whats emerald? [23:41] ffm: no idea, I haven't even seen a fax machine this century [23:41] <_wintermute_> window system [23:41] gordonjcp: lol. [23:41] _wintermute_ emerald --replace [23:41] ffm: have a look in synaptic [23:41] gordonjcp: that's exactly it, I don't want to buy one. [23:41] _wintermute_: checked your ~/xsession-errors for anything helpfull ? [23:41] gordonjcp: will do. [23:41] I did set auto in partition->preferneces and tab volume and drive.. after restart it does not mount them, and I dont see those tabs in preferences anymore. Any help how to fix it ? [23:41] <_wintermute_> Jack_Sparrow: did that in the config and console still nothing [23:42] gordonjcp, my laptop fan won't stay on, even when cpu is running 100% and it gets incredibly hot [23:42] jack_sparrow [23:42] anyone had tried google gadgets ? [23:42] have you been active in here for nearly 4 hours? [23:42] <_wintermute_> no didnt show any errors [23:42] _wintermute_ You did that at cli and it didnt bring them back.. ? try compiz --replace [23:42] <_wintermute_> even reinstalled it [23:42] <_wintermute_> in cli? [23:43] Hey guys [23:43] _wintermute_ terminal [23:43] <_wintermute_> yea cli [23:43] your now looking at a linux only user! [23:43] How to change mounting options set by nautilus ?

[23:44] monkeyBox: weird [23:44] What chipset [23:44] The thing is ancient, but Windows 98 just ain't cutting it [23:44] do you have [23:44] <_wintermute_> lemme try just a sec [23:44] monkeyBox: I have no answers for you, but I admire the problem [23:44] Keech what chipset do you have [23:44] splendid [23:44] supertanker: what spec is it? [23:44] NewfieLinux: where can i check [23:44] _wintermute_ YOu can also try /join #compiz [23:44] is there a script to repair a broken system ? as in reinstall everything exapt /home and /opt [23:44] NewfieLinux: wiped windows off your pc? [23:44] Uhh are you on linux now? [23:44] :D [23:44] HELLO! [23:44] yes I did Gin [23:44] :D [23:44] godfreyhk: it's a Pentium 133 Compaq...thing with a PCMCIA network card [23:44] google is not my friend today [23:44] ANY HELP!?! [23:45] Anyway keech are you on linux right now? [23:45] !caps | Usiu [23:45] Usiu: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:45] NewfieLinux: yes === Riddelll is now known as Riddell [23:45] NewfieLinux: Where can i check my chipset? [23:45] go to your terminal [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: I did changed in nautilus My Computer in drive prefenrences mounting options [23:45] and say iwconfig [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: now drive does not mount [23:45] scroll down to see network controller [23:45] supertanker: does it have USB ? [23:45] then tell me what it says [23:45] drash: no [23:45] fyrestrtr: indeed gnome-bluetooth wasn't installed. I did not get suspicious because streaming and downloading files FROM the mobile worked. it still does not work out of the box. [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: and those options disapeard from that prefenrces no such a tab [23:46] supertanker: that isn't going to be particularly great at running even Xubuntu [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: please help how to restore it [23:46] supertanker: or indeed any other modern-ish distro [23:46] gordonjcp: how about my other one, with a 400 Mhz processor? [23:46] Usiu Im busy.. start here sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:46] It at least has a CD drive, but no DVD reading capabilities [23:46] NewfieLinux: ray@ray-laptop:~$ iwconfig [23:46] lo no wireless extensions. [23:46] eth0 no wireless extensions. [23:46] wmaster0 no wireless extensions. [23:46] wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"linksys" [23:46] Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated [23:46] supertanker: oh yeah, that'll run Ubuntu just fine, especially if you stick as much memory as you can into it [23:46] Keech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] supertanker: stick NetBSD on the P133 ;-) [23:46] gordonjcp: :P [23:47] gordonjcp: how's ubuntu/xubuntu at handling PCMCIA cards? [23:47] hi.. how can I install Ubuntu application (Pidgin, Firefox etc) to the Kubuntu (without downloading) [23:47] supertanker: seriously, I have a Libretto 70CT with NetBSD that is my general wifi-poking laptop [23:47] supertanker: just fine [23:47] brian88: put your install disk in the drive. [23:47] !aptoncd [23:47] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [23:47] gordonjcp: I use a 3Com 10/100 Lan PC card [23:47] gordonjcp: will Xubuntu recognize that? [23:47] brian88 sudo apt-get install pidgin it may find it [23:48] Ahh I told you the wrong thing sorry,dang,I cant remeber that command [23:48] something like lscpi [23:48] darn what is it [23:48] NewfieLinux: to do what? [23:48] I just want to access Samba shares like any other windows machine does. Can I turn off the need for the Ubuntu group so I can retain "windows simple file sharing" ? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComprehensiveSambaGuide?highlight=(samba) [23:48] See what his chipset is [23:48] lshw ? [23:48] supertanker: should do, it's probably a 3C509 chipset [23:48] NewfieLinux lspci lsusb or lshw [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: is that from CD or from Internet? I don't want to download it again. Or I have to uncheck all the network sources in Adept and after installing, I check all again? [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: those drives are windows partitions [23:49] gordonjcp: thank you for your help, now I just need to find my CD :P [23:49] NewfieLinux: should be lspci, if the card is correctly detected and works, then it will show up in iwconfig [23:49] brian88: if it was downloaded once, it is stored on your machine. [23:49] yea speakers are bunk [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: and they were not in fstab by default nor now [23:49] need to find my old ones, can't remember where i put them though [23:49] Ahh keech run lspci and find your chipset by going to network controller [23:49] hey ppl, anybody know why nothing happens when i try the command: openssl req -verbose -nodes -keyout private.key -out server.csr [23:49] Should be at the botton [23:49] bottom* [23:50] NewfieLinux if you do "sudo lshw -C network" what is the card/chipset? [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: Now when I try to mount them I see wrong mount option [23:50] supertanker: handy hint - forget floppy drives and external CDs, buy a 40-pin IDE to 44-pin laptop IDE adaptor [23:50] gordonjcp: I may just try that [23:50] When i run make on a fairly large size program its causeing my mouse to lag could this just because it's utilizing my cpu to much? [23:50] Usiu Run the command I gave.. [23:50] Not sure,I always use lspci [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: I am not a linux begginer fstab has nothing to do with it, there are no entries in it about what have changed [23:51] Anyone have some information on programming and linux? [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: where else nautiluse store those options? [23:51] Usiu Then ask someone else [23:51] NewfieLinux: that's a pretty broad subject [23:51] fyrestrtr: no,,, I mean I want to use the installation file which exist on Ubuntu CD, and I don't want to download... [23:51] NewfieLinux: learn a programming language like C++, python [23:52] hello everyone, i need help making a network from my desktop with my laptop, both ubuntu last version, can anyone help? [23:52] Usiu what is the output of lsb_release -a exactly [23:52] NewfieLinux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17344/ [23:52] bash and perl scripting [23:52] thesilentwarrior: plug them together with a network cable [23:52] brian88: then just insert the CD. It will automatically be detected and added. [23:52] Thawk: you have anything exotic in your openssl.cnf ? [23:52] NewfieLinux: same chipset as yours! Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [23:52] thesilentwarrior: you'll neet to enable packet forwarding in the gateway [23:52] Ahhaha [23:53] I can help him then [23:53] gordonjcp: they are, i already have them on a switch, both have internet, so everything is cool [23:53] keech your in luck [23:53] thesilentwarrior: you want to share files? [23:53] I just resolved a problem like this [23:53] thesilentwarrior: you're done, then [23:53] sweet [23:53] Boohbah: i am trying, but, it seems ubuntu doesnt grant me enough access [23:53] Gin you remember the link? [23:54] When i run make on a fairly large size program its causeing my mouse to lag could this just because it's utilizing my cpu to much? [23:54] hmm... same bluetooth dongle... in XP/Vista, insert CD and go through all these config steps to install, then reboot... in Ubuntu, it was installed and config'd before I could sit back down after plugging it in the back of the PC [23:54] SirBob1701 Yes, make can suck up a ton of cpu [23:54] here is my question, i am trying to configure samba, i am admin, but i do not own /var/lib/samba/usershares it is owned by root i need permissions there in order to add shares is there any way to do this in sudo without logging in to root as i do not think that is a good idea [23:55] Boohbah: doesnt let me input admin/root password either, just spits out error 255, when i try to make a shared folder [23:55] anyone know? [23:55] Hey keech want to give me a minute to upload the file you need? [23:55] DJ_Cranky: create a samba user group? [23:55] what is that? [23:55] i beleave i have same problem as DJ_Cranky [23:55] DJ_Cranky: file could be owned by root and group samba [23:55] NewfieLinux: take all the time you need man :) your help is Greatly Appreciated [23:56] yes, the folder is owned by root [23:56] K just one second,its a small file [23:56] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/f57b5e74e [23:56] ooohhhhhhh... http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080605-google-gadgets-open-sourced-for-linux.html [23:56] i know it is bad to log in as root so i need to know how to take ownership in sudo [23:56] right? [23:56] legend2440: I still get the spikes in CPU use [23:57] NewfieLinux: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb [23:57] DJ_Cranky, I wouldn't say that it's bad to log in as root... just unnecessary. [23:57] :-( [23:57] thesilentwarrior: what sort of network protocol are you using? wtf is error 255 and what is a shared folder? [23:57] DJ_Cranky: i am trying to make a simple right-click -> Sharing Options -> Share [23:57] You can always get a root shell via sudo -s [23:57] Jack_Sparrow: This is option saved by nautilus [23:57] thesilentwarrior error 255 right? [23:57] ok keech,download this http://www.mediafire.com/?ye3m212nexy [23:57] Boohbah: its a folder i created [23:57] then restart [23:57] DJ_Cranky: cant you chmod the file/folder to get access? [23:57] Jack_Sparrow: or something else [23:57] we talking about samba? [23:57] DJ_Cranky: exactly [23:57] then click on the computer icon and say connect to other network [23:57] and type in your network name/password if any [23:57] Keech not if i do not own it, hold on thesilentwarrior i may have a solutio [23:58] hi, im currently trying to setup dual monitors in hardy. when i plug in the monitor and it i restart x, i get a cloned image under gdm, when i log into the syste, i can get a cloned monitor, great. but when i attempt to "stretch" the desktop, so to say, it just blanks the monitor and leaves my laptop lcd on. this is on a intel chipset and i have tried both compiz and metacity, with no luck. [23:58] cyphase: that'll keep you busy for a while lol [23:58] and it should work [23:58] DJ_Cranky: permission can be set seperatly for owner/group/everyone.. you can set group owner to a samba group then add urself to that group [23:58] DJ_Cranky: i have changed root folders to gain access before. [23:58] give me your results after you try this keech [23:58] BobCFC it is part of group sambashare but also owned by root [23:58] drash: i don't know if i'll actually install it, i just find it very interesting [23:58] Rampage: yea i got updates this morning but they didn't fix it. guess i'll wait and see if next updates hel. anyway i don't open Appearaces box much anyway. thanks for letting me know [23:59] DJ_Cranky: add yourself to group sambashare then [23:59] BobCFC how would i chmod a folder i do not have permissions for in the first place? [23:59] BobCFC i was in there root wasnt even i still have no access [23:59] legend2440: Yes hope the next set fixes it. [23:59] woa **** I have like 124 updates ready [23:59] sudo chmod 777 .. i think xD [23:59] how can i share files between vista and ubuntu hardy? [23:59] thesilentwarrior: thats exactly what it is
