The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:29] I guess keylogging isn't going to be my answer, maybe I can look at proxies and intercept her "SUBMIT" button. That might be too sneaky though. [01:30] Hey guys I'm using the Modified Native Driver for Ubuntu for my wireless rtl8187b and I cannot connect to my network. I'm currently using my lan to get on here. [01:31] supercom32: Since swap generally gets used when ram runs out I'm not sure what kind of performance you'll get incidentally. Might be bettwe to just disable it if you have 1+ Gb [01:31] BCM43: this is the results withOUT the external card. http://paste.ubuntu.com/18932/ [01:31] nevermind i got happy too quickly [01:31] BCM43: do you want me to do another one WITH the external card inserted now? [01:32] hou5ton: this page will tell you how to get the internal one working, if you want i can help with the external one too. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [01:32] genii Well ok. My pendrive has no write protect switch. And as you said, yes, swap is used when memory runs out. Is there anything else that can be done perhaps? I see tutorials all over on how to make your live pendrive persistant, but nothing in reverse. Maybe there is a feature which tells the OS not to write changes to disk? [01:32] Daccha are you using a toshiba satellite lapatop? If so this may help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571046&page=6 [01:33] well .... if the internal one will work, that's fine ... it's just that I know the external one did [01:33] BCM43: do you want me to insert it and past the stuff again? [01:33] Nanoer - Yes I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5824 [01:34] hou5ton: instert it and run lsusb [01:34] BCM43: it isn't a usb ... is that what that command is checking for? [01:34] i'm having trouble booting safe mode for windows xp via f8.... i have vbox (latest from sun) running on ubuntu gutsy gibbon... when i hit f8 during the boot process (for win xp pro) ... nothing happens... i tried with function lock on and off with no results. ideas? [01:34] hou5ton: yes, how is it plugged in? [01:35] Dachha: apparently you have to force the card to work everytime you boot it [01:35] I'm going to try to find more info [01:35] arooni-mobile: this is ubntu support only, try ##windows [01:35] BCM43: in the slot on the side .... [01:35] Sleep well channel.. :) [01:35] hou5ton: put it in and try lspci [01:35] supercom32: There previously was a method which involved running the casper (livecd image) from another device like thumbdrive etc. If you have a heavily customised version, perhaps consider using something like Ubuntu Customisation Kit which allows you to make a custom install cd. Then use the image from that. [01:35] Nanoer: Ok thanks for the Link [01:36] Dachha: try using these drives: http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ [01:36] hello, after doing an apt-get upgrade ubuntu upgraded the nvidia-glx-new drivers and now I'm getting a "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" error [01:36] anyone know? [01:36] Nanoer: I did the datanorth method and thats where I am now.. Cannot connect to my network. ;-) [01:36] genii Thanks. I'll look into that.

[01:40] strtok: it is being updated all the time, post your results on the forum tread [01:40] BCM43: it was working perfectly previous to ubuntu upgrading stuff [01:40] sorry what SeanL9941 [01:40] wow, connecting to a remote external drive on a windows machine was a lot eaier in ubuntu than it is in XP [01:40] i have 2 problems...1. somehow there are now 2 Ubuntu's in GRUB (besides the recovery one) [01:40] strtok: ok, still use th link [01:40] i am getting this error Start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /usr/sbin/cron: input/output error (input/output error) [01:40] when is this SeanL9941 , before it installs? [01:41] like before when i would click on 'try" i clicked on install this time and i get that after the ubuntu orange bar goes accross [01:41] i get a 2 Fail's and 3 OK's [01:41] i've decided to reformat my whole hard drive, and set up the partition from scratch. what would be the best method of execution if i wnated to dual boot XP and ubuntu? [01:41] SeanL9941: try install it, and shrink the windows partition (after selecting manual partitioning) create a partition for ubuntu and see if that works [01:42] Ice_Max: Install XP first [01:42] hello people [01:42] Rampage, i clicked install it, then iget the loading bar, then i get text on screen with errors [01:42] Ice_Max: You can do all that stuff within the XP install --- just dont format the space for ubuntu [01:42] not sure what cron job would be running on the live cd [01:42] strtok: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=722798 look though this, might help [01:42] hi genuser [01:42] its the full cd [01:42] cpudan80:ok, and jsut leave an empty partition for ubuntu?

Stop jack, restart rosegarden, midi plays fine. not thru rosegarden.

[01:44] both of which are things that linux doesn't seem ot do well :( [01:44] Ice_Max: If you have modern rig - XP will fail to detect the HDDs because they use SATA [01:44] Ice_Max: linux has great adobe alternitives [01:45] Ice_Max: Do you have a floppy drive? [01:45] hou5ton: nope, sorry [01:45] In the machine you plan on installing XP on [01:45] cpudan: would build a Pc without one :) [01:45] *wouldn't [01:45] lol ok good [01:46] Ice_Max: So go download the SATA drivers from your mobo site ahead of time - and in the XP install it will say like "Press F to load 3rd party drivers" -- do that and follow the steps [01:46] Ice_Max: join ##windows if you need more help though, as that is outside the scope of ubuntu (Im in there too) [01:46] cpudan: why would i need to do that? ive had no problem installing XP before on this machine [01:47] Ice_Max: Are your HDDs IDE or SATA ? [01:47] I'm trying to use the network boot/network install method to install ubuntu but I keep hitting failures when the installer is being downloaded. It always fails when loading libntfs-3g23-udeb [01:47] i only have 1 sata HDD [01:47] I've been having a problem with Firefox crashing and taking the sound with it. Is there any way to at least prevent it from blocking the sound device? [01:47] How do I go about finnishing the install? [01:47] Ice_Max: Is your XP CD a plain OEM or some dell version ? [01:47] OEM SP2 [01:47] i bought it with my parts 2 yrs ago [01:47] can anyone point me in the right direction for a problem i'm having with nautilus running under 7.10... whenever i plug in my flash drive, every access to the drive takes 30-60 seconds... this doesn't happen from the shell... and it didn't happen up until recently [01:48] ? [01:48] Ice_Max: It's possible that you haven't turned on SATA in the BIOS [01:48] jamisnemo: what> [01:48] Ice_Max: the default mode for most BIOS is to act like IDE [01:48] woah [01:48] theres a ton of dockapps [01:48] haha [01:48] jamisnemo: finishing what install? [01:49] hm, il lgo heck my BIOS once this file transfer finishes [01:49] Ice_Max: Since you are starting over from scratch, I'd recommend enabling the setting [01:49] Rampage, I'm using the PXE boot image to install ubuntu but it fails with: "Failed to load installer component" and "Loading libntfs-3g23-udeb failed for unknown reasons. Aborting." [01:49] Ice_Max: what kind of mobo is it? [01:49] Does anyone have an estimate on when the latest nVidia binary driver (released May 28, 2008) will be added to the repository?

[01:51] What determines which number a wirless card interface gets (wlanN) where N is the number? [01:51] jamisnemo: hmm, not sure, image corrupted in the download or on disk perhaps? [01:51] Rampage, alright I'll try another archive... [01:51] Ice_Max: ahh ok - I have a gigabyte board (was going to tell you the setting) [01:51] nabcore: That is 0 for the first wireless card on up wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 etc [01:52] Ice_Max: Its something like SATA mode or something like that -- in the section where you set the advanced things [01:52] cpudan: ill go poke around the BIOs options, haven't been in it for a while [01:52] Ice_Max: But if you enable it - you'll need the SATA drivers from your mobo's website --- just put them on a floppy --- its not a big deal for users with FDDs [01:53] nabcore: wlan0 is for your only wireless if that is the case [01:53] It gets problematic when you have no FDD [01:53] Dachha; ok I've had a different card in the machine in the past, and now I have a new one. However it gives the new card the interface wlan2; it seems like it may have "rememebered" something of the old one [01:53] would i be able to downlaod them with the lvie Cd right now and put them on a floppy? [01:53] nabcore: that is way above me right now.. Just getting the lingo down right now. ;-) [01:54] Ice_Max: Sure - just mount the flopy and copy the drivers [01:54] whats the command to get a dockapp? `sudo apt-get dockapp wmcpuload`? [01:54] or is dockapp install [01:54] Ice_Max: assuming Asus doesnt do one of those EXE extractor things -- in which case.... :-/ [01:54] Dachha; that's cool, thanks for the pointers tjhough [01:54] nabcore: I'm sure thats exactly what you said residual drivers [01:54] Is it possible to do AIM video chatting with linux? How can I?

But no reason to have a /boot partition in ubuntu anyway [02:12] mneptok: out of curiosity if i did not want users to access any folder but /home/user how can i do that? [02:12] nickrud: can't the kernel file and initrd be specified in grub? [02:12] Rampage: yeah, there is no way to log in as root. Only sudo. Unless you use recovery mode or something like that, right? [02:12] Woyrz: try disabling your onboard sound in bios if you have it, fixed my sound issues [02:12] mneptok: as after my last incident i'm wary of recursive chmod [02:12] mr_flea_ ah, I was thinking of kernels only. You are absolutely right [02:12] ok thanks [02:12] unless only one of them has grub installed [02:12] Rampage: the default permissions should provide relatively good security [02:12] maestrojed: ALT CTRL F1 and login as root there [02:13] nickrud: oh. why not? I was advised to do so by the folks in #lvm [02:13] mneptok: yeah default perms don't let users edit, but i was thinking maybe if possible not to let the ls /etc for example [02:13] VSpike for lvm, yes you do need a separate boot. [02:13] VSpike: If you're really careful, though, and manually manage things like grub.conf, you can probably pull it off. Something that automates less of the process of installing things may be a better idea. [02:13] maestrojed: except that won't work. boot to a live session, mount your internal /, and fix the perms [02:13] Rampage: is there a GUI way to do that. I am connected via VNC and either that command did not work or was not send correctly via VNC (probably the latter) [02:14] Rampage: security through obscurity is a poor model ;) [02:14] mneptok: ok [02:14] maestrojed: no gui, do what mneptok said [02:14] maestrojed: it works for me as the first things i do is usually enable the root account [02:14] why does /etc/sudoers care that it is 777 instead of 440. Picky little devil. [02:14] * nickrud crosses his fingers at Rampage [02:14] maestrojed: you cannot login as root as suggested because by default Ubuntu has no root password, effectively disabling interactive logins for the root user (this is a Good Thing(tm)) [02:15] maestrojed: because if it's 777 then anyone can give themselves whatever they want for permissions. [02:15] maestrojed so it's privately owned by root, and not readable/alterable by any old user [02:15] maestrojed: because that makes it so that anyone can give themself root access via sudo because anyone can edit its config file with 777. 440 prevents all writes and keeps all but root from reading it [02:15] maestrojed: you are allowed to ask that question again when you send me a picture of your sister and your car keys. ;) [02:16] nickrud: only as a precaution if i ever need to use the root account, and initially while installing all applications when i can't be bothered doing sudo (lazy i know), but in normal use i don't use roor :P [02:16] Rampage: sudo -i is your new best friend [02:16] hey yall [02:16] last call [02:16] last chance to dance! woo!

(may be) [02:18] pub ah, don't know fluxbox keybindings, but either fluxconf or bbkeys should do it [02:18] mneptok: I understand the security around it but I think the way it is implemented is crippling. Either don't let me change it to 777 or let me mess up my security as I wish (maybe with a warning). Letting me change but then taking away that functionality just crippled the system. I am not complaining to you guys and gals. Just learning and curious why it is this way [02:18] hou5ton: post you experience on the forum thread [02:18] BCM43: Now, I'm wondering what are the chances an AT&T air card will work ... it plugs in the USB port .... don't have it with me. [02:18] sweet, thanks mangojambo , i will look into those [02:19] nickrud do you know anything about fixing microphone problems? I've searched all over the net and have found nothing to fix this problem in my hp laptop, my mic used to work and now it doesn't after a few reboots [02:19] how do i make font bigger on web pages [02:19] maestrojed: when you do something with sudo it doesn't ask questions it just does. thats why running stuff as root is dangerous [02:19] Gman99999 I've never tried messing with mikes, sorry [02:19] especially when you are like me and do stupid things :( [02:19] Ok, Thanks all for the help [02:20] nickrud do you know where all of the mic controls are located in hardy heron? [02:20] high how do i download all files in a web directory what is easiest way? [02:21] So, I can see my windows network through my ubuntu box. But how do i go about mapping my home directory on my windows box? [02:21] chichibangbang: if you use firefox you can try downloadthemall [02:21] Gman99999 in right click volume control, open volume control. There's a recording (mike input iirc) tab [02:21] with k3b i am attempting to burn a .cue/bin file but i get unknown error (code 1) before anything happens. how can i fix this? [02:22] Gman99999 or capture mux that is, on main tab I think. But only think, don't know [02:23] how do i use wget to download all? [02:23] chichibangbang: you can also use wget with the -r (recursive switch) [02:23] I have Ubuntu 8.04 in Virtualbox, just done a dist-upgrade, reboot, install virtualbox drivers, reboot and have beend dropped into ash, udevd-event[1344]: run_program '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit [02:23] chichibangbang: see the man page for wget [02:23] rampage how would i do it with say http://www.example.com/example/ [02:24] pub not sure about the work around you pointed me at, but I noticed it talks about keybindings further down the page [02:24] wget -r [02:24] jebus, man wget [02:24] yeah [02:24] that's what im following [02:24] well iwas going to follow [02:24] ping [02:24] chichibangbang: wget -r -l 1 http://www.example.co./example perhaps [02:24] ;) [02:24] the keyboard shortcuts right [02:24] so wget -r http://www.example/example/ ? [02:24] what is 1 for [02:24] maybe even -c [02:25] -l 1 is 1 level [02:25] i want to dl all files in subdirectory [02:25] how do i make the screen turn into a cube in ubuntu? [02:25] Sacro first place I'd look is /var/log/syslog , probably more about the error there [02:25] chichibangbang: so only recurse 1 level [02:25] c is clobbering, så that if you stop and redownload you wont download elements already downloaded [02:25] hi there ... [02:25] chichibangbang: so you don't need -l then [02:25] no i want all levels [02:25] hey guys... do you know any dapper to gutsy, server, upgrade ? [02:25] ops [02:25] ok thanks [02:25] nickrud: first thing i did was reboot, that worked :\ [02:25] upgrade howto* [02:25] chichibangbang: try wget -r website [02:25] Sacro lol, transient error then [02:26] Ok I have manually set the connection on my wife pc for her wireless connection but after reboot I think the key needs to be reset as it is no long there is there a simple place to put this key so when she boots she is connected as I really dont want to give her windows again as ubuntu is way better . any help would rock [02:26] nickrud: yes [02:26] Sacro if you're curious, the error will be archived in the syslog anyway [02:26] i replaced the mobo in my server and now the NICs are showing up as eth3-eth5 instead of eth0-eth2 [02:26] i'm assuming there is a hook into the MAC address somewhere [02:26] docta you have 3 onboard nics? [02:26] how can i reset the system to the new MACs [02:26] yeah [02:27] no.. i mean does your new mobo have three nics? [02:27] docta_v: you can either use a mac address changer, or do it command line [02:27] darth: yes [02:27] So, I can see my windows network through my ubuntu box. But how do i go about mapping my home directory on my windows box? [02:27] nice 6 nics in server [02:27] rampage please pm me [02:27] nickrud: I restarted my 8.04 install to do away with the separate /boot but I've alread nuked the /boot that I had.

How do I map my ubuntu home directory to my windows machine. [02:29] VSpike yes, a sec while I pull up some instructions [02:29] ahhhh [02:29] you need samba for that [02:29] nickrud: If I boot a 7.10 live cd presumably the contents of /boot will be about right, if I edit the menu.lst [02:29] ubuntu already has samba, easiest thing would be to download a gui-setup tool of some kind [02:29] VSpike there's a canonical way, a sec [02:30] you could try gsambad [02:30] noxix, [02:30] ubuntu desktop doesn't have samba installed by default, i thought [02:30] anyone know what i press to make compiz rotate cube style?

[03:36] hi.. how do i close my OS??? shutdown -?? [03:36] mystery_: didn't know that.. but that might be the prob.. [03:36] jansen_afk: sudo shutdown -h now [03:36] anyway to correct this issue? [03:36] hmm.. [03:36] Sirius889: no, as laptops usually are soldered, not socketed. [03:36] Starnestommy, kk [03:36] im gonna read this faq and see [03:36] so if i wanted to add the command and it existed @ /~/directory i would have to enter PATH=$PATH:/~/directory? [03:36] rampageoberon: Generally . shouldn't be in your path, as it's a security vulnerability; what happens if someone sends you a Trojan executable named ls ? [03:36] mneptok: this looks like you would just use the ps3 browser to navigate to a share, correct? the browser in my ps3 is not fullscreen though [03:37] just updated hardy and it's now unable to detect my monitor (old plug-n-play CRT) [03:37] mneptok, mine is removable [03:37] rampageoberon: So you specific . to explicitly execute the program in the current directory. [03:37] SpudDogg: nope, the MediaTomb share shows up as a browseable device on the PS3, like an external USB device. [03:37] ok i think maybe i should not have installed the windows drivers for ati [03:38] CydeWeys: ah, thanks :) [03:38] unavailable run sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-ose , and put the results on paste.ubuntu.com [03:38] no luck?........hmm [03:38] mneptok: ahh ok...think i should install this on my ubutnu-server fileserver machine or on my gentoo desktop machine?

[03:40] this is annoying. hardy is supposed to be stable. just rebooted to find it at 640x480, and the sensors-applet has no text now [03:40] SpudDogg: Ubuntu server. it's apackaged :) [03:40] -a [03:41] mneptok: i guess what i was asking is if there's a GUI [03:41] ha i found out that i installed it and never enabled the drivers [03:41] SpudDogg: if you're doing this now, i'll give you the 2 lines you'll need in MediaTomb's .conf to make the PS3 feel sexy. [03:41] darren: ffmpeg should do it. But for your application of putting them to ipod, the playlists won't reflect that you have new music on it even if you successfully transcode them anyhow. [03:41] how do I know the /dev file corresponding to my usb ? For instance, I plugged my mp3 on a usb and run "lsusb". It points to "Bus 007 Device 002". What file would this usb correspond to? [03:41] mneptok: what better time to do it? [03:41] SpudDogg: nope. there's a web UI, but it's unrelated to configurstion.

[03:46] jpw27_:honestly, no, but I have a nagging feeling this is because of compiz, I had a similar problem with a 7.04 with Beryl installed on an intel card [03:46] rampageoberon: the same way I read a serial port [03:46] <|Juan|> help here please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [03:46] gleaken: i use compiz fusion, and this happens, it looks like nothing is there but I can log in. i would suggest trying it [03:46] rampageoberon: I would read the /dev/ttyS0 file [03:47] i've been getting freeze ups and crashes a lot with ubuntu. always something, either i lose my sound and i need to restart, or my X session gets borked and i need to restart X, or firefox wont start because its "still in use" when it really isnt.. i need to restart the system for these things all the time.. [03:47] ianliu_88: lshw gives the logical name that is /dev it is, isn't that waht you want? [03:48] they happen out of nowhere.. and im not doing anything that would particularily provoke these problems.. [03:48] jpw27_:Ok, I will try, but seems like a bug.

[03:51] Any ideas why the ubuntu installer would lock at 94% (during the grub installation) every time? [03:51] boselecta, you should be able to just use a native program. I'm partial to amarok and use it fine with my gen 5 ipod. [03:52] sapph424: Is this with alternate install cd ? [03:52] macondo: um, i think part of the issue is some m4p files in the library (it's not my computer). [03:52] sapph424: what does it say it is doing at 94%? how long do you wait before killing it?

I started it at 5AM this morning and haven't killed it yet. [03:55] sapph424: what OS does the computer have right now [03:55] I read some stuff around the Goog that indicated that grub might get confused is there are multiple drives, especially if some are SATA and some are PATA, especially if installing to a PATA. So after the last several times this happened, I disconnected all the other drives. [03:56] Well, it had GG. Then I updated to HH. But then I couldn't get a network connection to work. Like, at all. So then I popped the GG LiveCD back in, and told it to do a fresh install of the full disk. [03:56] Since then, its been hanging at the grub install. [03:56] How do I restart the sound engine? [03:57] hey guys, im using jfs and everytime my computer shuts down abruptly (power outage for example) my jfs partition doesnt mount. my ext3 and xfs partitions probably have issues with that too but they repair themselves (im assuming). the jfs partition i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works and fixes it. is there a way to let the system try that if the partition doesnt mount instead of my running the same command manually every time?

Come on, this is supposed to be 'superior' linux, why can't I simply mount my ISO and play it like I can with deamon tools in windows??

[04:02] Soulwarp thats not the problem, i mean if the electricity in my block goes out, of course the whole computers shuts down and the partitions dont close nicely, but the other partitions fix the inconsistencies, not the jfs one [04:03] Hilikus: if it's not a power issue it may be a bad HDD [04:04] Hilikus: the bug you posted suggest that [04:04] Well, I've got nothin for you jpw, you got anything for me? ;p [04:05] hello [04:05] hi [04:05] i have a comment here [04:05] about UB [04:05] k [04:05] Satan, ask away [04:05] <|Juan|> help here please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [04:06] the thing is here. how do i get Wireless to work on UB [04:06] it for only windows xp [04:06] Linksys WMP54G Driver [04:06] i think that it [04:06] !enter | Satan [04:06] Satan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === dmr is now known as infinitycircuit [04:08] how do I let evdev detect my vx revolution after boot?

[04:14] ramier: Beats the hell out of me - I burned my Ubuntu disks from Windows :? [04:14] heh :( i burned fedora on windows, but i don't have windows anymore :( [04:14] I was wondering, is there any difference between the programs when downloaded from the ubuntu servers compared to the program's website (e.g. Downloading openoffice through www.openoffice.org or downloading through the synaptic package manager) [04:14] MarcoDiego, are you using a downloaded icon set or a default set? if default, which one? [04:14] boselecta: not sure, but i think thye're human-readable textfiles [04:15] ramier: what system are you using now? [04:15] Bodsda: running an ubuntu live-cd [04:15] fedora 9 [04:15] And speaking of beating the hell out of me, anyone got any ideas on my ubuntu-install-hangs-at-94%-issue?

About 14 hours. [04:16] ramier: if i remember correctly from using fedora in the past, i think it comes with a cd burning program [04:16] Yeah [04:16] sapph424 that may be a bit too long [04:16] Bodsda: thx, I'll wait right here [04:16] i'm sure it does; i just don't know what its called [04:17] ramier: you may want to try this in terminal [04:17] cd burning software ' xcdroast' for xwindow or cdrecord for command line [04:17] MarcoDiego, do you have an imagge ready? [04:17] ramier: yum install k3b [04:17] Can' anyone help me? I am trying to recover deleted files? [04:17] I thought so too. I'd start again if I thought it would do anything, but this is the 4th or 5th time in a row that its hung here. === kompi09 is now known as icha [04:17] hmmmm ok thanks, i'll try k3b, and xcdroast [04:17] Janice8954: deleted files? [04:18] what is the difference between programs downloaded from the ubuntu servers compared to the program's website? [04:18] what does xubuntu use for package management? apt? or deb? or is that really old [04:18] Bodsda: lots of png and svg's [04:18] ramier: apt [04:18] Josellis, programs from the repo'sare always in a .deb format and are installed for you without having to compile from source [04:18] does it work the same as yum [04:18] the same idea [04:18] ramier: apt yes [04:18] ramier: debian based so apt-get or aptitude [04:18] yes rampageoberon: LIke when you put them in the trash bin and empty it. [04:18] MarcoDiego, you need to have 1 image in mind, and it needs to be scaled down to 24x24 [04:18] ::: [04:18] ramier: very symilar yes [04:19] ramier: yes same idea [04:19] I need to recover them so i can wipe them. [04:19] Josellis most likely, main difference may be that one from prog's website you have to compile yourself, vs one from ubuntu software repository it comes compiled [04:19] ok :) [04:19] if I want to run a Python program on a remote client, but they don't have Python installed, could I SSH into them, and do something like export PYTHONPATH=user@localmachine:/path/to/python [04:19] ramier: similar* [04:19] Bodsda: ok, have some of those [04:19] MarcoDiego, pick one and tell me the EXACT file path [04:19] Bodsda: what should i do? [04:19] Janice8954: not sure how to do that, amybe someone else here know how [04:19] I've got this USB Serial adapter which isn't being recognized. NOt sure why. Pretty sure I know which driver should be used [04:19] janice: I know of no way to 'recover' them. However, it should be possible to 'wipe' over your unallocated sectors. [04:19] Bodsda: wait [04:19] jpw27_-> it has to be installed at remote end [04:20] Bodsda: but for programs that do no need compiling (e.g. thunderbird, skype, etc.) is it better to download from ubuntu server or the website (mozilla.com and skype.com) [04:20] MAN I had a presentation a few hours ago and my lappie didn't work with the video beam. [04:20] sapph424. There is software in Windows that can do this. Why doesn't Linux have something? [04:20] amenado: darn...so tjere [04:20] Janice8954: http://www.runtime.org/diskexplorer.htm#DE_LINX perhaps [04:20] amenado: so there's no way to execute things on a remote end using tools on the local end [04:20] I don't know what happened, and I just rented the video beam. [04:20] Sapph424: you are also speaking Iranian to me because I have no idea what you just said. [04:21] Janice: Windows doesn't delete things like linux/unix does [04:21] Janice8954: windows based though :( [04:21] Josellis, if there in the repo's then use the repo's [04:21] Bodsda: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png [04:21] Janice8954: There are debugging tools you can use to recover files from ext3 and friends, and there are commercial tools. They are ungodly expensive. [04:21] sapph424: does linux write over the full file with 0 or 1's? [04:21] jpw27_-> nope, no other way..once you login to the other end, its the resources at the remote you are using, not localhost [04:21] janice: Is your concern security? That someone will gain physical access to your hard drive and use forensic techniques to recover the data from deleted files? [04:21] MarcoDiego: is there a way to set up a playlist for MPlayer? it seems to work for what I want. [04:21] amenado: darn. thanks for the answer [04:22] MarcoDiego, run this exact command in a terminal. sudo cp /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png.bak && sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png [04:22] janice: Because, honestly, I'm in Information Assurance for a DoD agency, and I think that's usually a fairly paranoid viewpoint. [04:22] Yeah that's sort of the idea sapph424. I have no idea how to run Autopsy [04:22] boselecta: sure it is possible, but sorry... dont know how :( [04:22] Janice8954: Fill teh driver with new files. [04:22] has anyone gotten linksys wireless card WCP54G working with 8.04 edubuntu? [04:22] fill the drive [04:22] MarcoDiego, then run this command gnome-panel --replace [04:22] sapph424: I am a private investigator and I can't have these files my machine. [04:22] Bodsda: done [04:23] Very few private individuals have data that is worth the cost, time and effort to do a forensic hard drive analysis. [04:23] I added noacpi and acpi=off to grub boot menu but i still get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery ... [04:23] Janice8954: ANd next time use an encyrpted hard dis [04:23] k [04:23] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gnome-panel --replace [04:23] Anyone know how to run Autopsy. [04:23] Bodsda: Opção --replace desconhecida [04:23] Execute "gnome-panel --help" para ver a lista completa de opções de linha de comando disponíveis. [04:23] boselecta, highlight the songs you want then right click on one of them go to the playlist menu then select create new playlist [04:24] janice: If you are really really concerned, then download the ubuntu image about . . . . 100 times. That should take care of it. :) [04:24] sapph424: just out of curiosity, the rm command doesn't overwrite the full thing with 0's or 1's ? [04:24] Bodsda: what if my "songs" are URLs? [04:24] Bodsda: gnome-panel --replace is not a valid option [04:24] Janice8954: i'm a little late to the conversation, but is something like this what you're looking for? http://wipe.sourceforge.net/ [04:24] wasabi: I think you know as well as I do that any encryption can be broken [04:24] MarcoDiego, then run this command killall gnome-panel [04:24] boselecta, might work,.,.dunno [04:24] rampage: AFAIK, it only removes the inode to the file - the data is ignored. [04:24] jpw27. I just got wipe. I [04:25] Yesterday, [04:25] Janice8954: Dude. Okay, fine. I'm not helping you then. That's silly. [04:25] Janice8954: ok [04:25] sapph424: ah, so would you happen to know how to recover them [04:25] Odd quesiont, but does anyone know how a bash command to make a computer do the system beep on command? [04:25] Does ubuntu have any way of running multiple desktops simultaneously with different users logged in? [04:25] Janice8954: to wipe out files you can use shred too [04:25] extor: Yes. [04:25] How do I make my audacious playlist bigger [04:25] Bodsda: gnome-panel killed, restarted... old icon is still there [04:25] i get INET6 errors in MPlayer. is that normal? [04:25] wasabi, my main reason for asking was security--to sandbox non-rooted apps from each other [04:26] Janice: It is patently false that any encryption can be broken. The current 'strong' encryption would take all the computational power currently in existence millenia to do it. Be realistic. [04:26] wasabi: I don't understand why'd you take offense to my statement, as it's the truth. An encrypted Disk is not what I need. I need to get rid of files that I already have. [04:26] MarcoDiego, ok are you using the default icon set? [04:26] Bodsda: yes [04:26] Bodsda: ubuntu from live-cd [04:26] hi. Has anyone tried Parallels for ubuntu yet? [04:27] hey I am new to ubuntu and gnome in general how can I add the trash can to the desktop and how do I install JRE [04:27] I added noacpi and acpi=off to grub boot menu but i still get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery ... [04:27] linksys PCMCIA card WPC54G using ndiswrapper, the card detects the wireless network, but can not associate any clue where to start?

If the deletion just happened, and they are REALLY REALLY important, I would immediately shut down, boot from a LiveCD, mount the hard drive in read only, make a bit copy to another device, and use a sector-based file scanner to try to find the data. That is usually reserved for criminal investigations, however. [04:28] ty [04:28] truecrypt won't compi9le on ubuntu because of not having fuse.h [04:28] where do I get fuse headers? [04:28] How do I get Ubuntu to not tell me that Restricted drivers are in use? While it's all fine and dandy to know, I don't really need it in the taskbar/ [04:28] ghindo: don't know a bash command, but you can go into a python interpreter and do "print '\a'" [04:28] linxeh well I've heard astounding claims from OSX, Intel Imac users about Parallels, how it has practically no drain on the system at all. I just want to know if it's like that in ubuntu. [04:29] MarcoDiego, run this sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human && sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human/scalable && sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human/scalable/places && sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png /~/.icons/Human/scalable/places/start-here.png && killall gnome-panel [04:29] Bodsda: any ideia? [04:29] ghindo: here's an bash command to do it: python -c "print '\a'" :) [04:29] cens0red: it has as much load in osx as the app you are running... I use it in OSX regularly [04:29] MarcoDiego, wait [04:29] how do I add the trash can to the desktop in gnome [04:29] jpw27_: that would actually be a python command :) [04:29] MarcoDiego, run this sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human && sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human/scalable && sudo mkdir ~/.icons/Human/scalable/places && sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/tomboy.png ~/.icons/Human/scalable/places/start-here.png && killall gnome-panel [04:29] Bodsda, [04:29] cens0red: virtualbox seems pretty much the same to me from ubuntu, I've not tried parallels thoughon ubuntu yet sorry [04:29] ... [04:30] linxeh and virtualbox on ubuntu? [04:30] Jalathan, what? [04:30] shouldn't the ones in the homedir be without sudo? [04:30] I added noacpi and acpi=off to grub boot menu but i still get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery ... [04:30] virtualbox FTW unless you know what ur doing [04:30] cens0red: yes, I use virtualbox to provide a standard win2k image to desktop machines [04:30] cens0red-> whats parallels? is that same as paravirtualizations like kvm, openvz? [04:30] linxeh do u need a dual processing chip? [04:30] Jalathan, doesnt really matter but yeah [04:30] Boohbah: that's why i prefaced it with 'dont know a bash command but" :) [04:30] cens0red: you need a virtual machine? go for virtualbox [04:30] cens0red: no, but it helps [04:30] amenado: yes [04:30] Boohbah linxeh cheers. Will do. [04:30] cens0red: you can always try the trial of parallels no doubt [04:31] Guys, I now can't even get it started in recovery mode. [04:31] Do you guys have any idea what's going on? [04:31] cens0red: vmware is worth looking at too - the player is free, and you can use qemu tools to produce disk images for it etc [04:31] does mkdir have a recursive option? [04:31] linxeh yeah but then I will no doubt have some pty trial software in my system somewhere. [04:31] okay, i tried openvz seem okay..am trying to learn the virtual ethernets on the vps [04:31] Bodsda, cp does i believe [04:32] mkdir doesn't [04:32] jpw27_ Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work :( [04:32] cens0red: pty ? [04:32] ghindo: really? odd.... [04:32] linxeh proprietry. [04:32] Jalathan, i no cp does,.,. but why you cant make a folder and a sub dir with 1 mkdir command i can work out [04:32] however it's spelled. [04:32] Does anyone know how to get rid of the notice's and the icon on the task bar that is telling me that proprietary drivers are in use?

[04:32] I keep getting 'C compiler cannot create executables' when trying to install a program, how do I fix that?

[04:33] Bodsda : not working :( [04:33] Anyone here run dual head w/ latest ubuntu and e17? I seem to get one spanning zone instead of 2. any ideas? [04:34] Bah, someone help me >_< [04:34] MarcoDiego, dunno then sorry,.,. why do you want it if your on live cd anyway? [04:34] Bodsda, (this may help you, is in the man for mkdir) -p, --parents: no error if existing, make parent directories as needed [04:34] Bodsda: not my computer [04:34] Bodsda: would that work if the system were installed? [04:34] MarcoDiego, so why do you want to change the icon if it will return to the previous icon next time its used? [04:35] MarcoDiego, yes ive done it on mine,.although i downloaded an icon set then change it [04:35] jpw27_ Yup, doesn't work [04:35] ghindo: weird [04:35] Bodsda: to do it where i have the system installed [04:35] Jalathan, i dont think that helps me but thanks for looking [04:35] ghindo: does it output anything? [04:35] MarcoDiego, search google? [04:35] Bodsda: yes [04:36] Bodsda: found a solution using conf-editor [04:36] jpw27_ Nope. I know I have Python installed, too... [04:36] Bodsda: coping of files was not needed [04:36] MarcoDiego, search this "How to change the applications bar icon ubuntu" dont use gconf that thing is confusing as hell [04:36] ghindo: very weird...does this system ever beep? [04:36] hello all [04:36] whats going on tonite? [04:36] Bodsda: i search that [04:36] bigdaddy0522, helpin people [04:37] ghindo, whats your problem with python? [04:37] Bodsda: i like more using gconf than coping files [04:37] linxeh I only have a celeron 2800 with 1gig of ram. [04:37] I'm getting the impression that the standard ubuntu install doesn't blast the drive, it just kinda overwrites. I think that's the problem grub is having - there is already a grub on there - possibly a newer one. Is there a command that will just kill every damned thing on the drive. I don't need a secure wipe or anything like that. I just don't need any installers getting confused about what may or may not have been installed previ [04:37] hi, how do i get the trash bin back that i used tio have in the grey bar in the bottom ... [04:37] MarcoDiego, ok,. then look for gconf tuts,,.i personally dont like it but thats my opinion [04:38] Bodsda: know if would this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572712 work if the system were installed? [04:38] sapph424, boot live cd then use gparted to delete all partitions [04:38] matthias: right click on task bar, Add to Panel, Trash. [04:38] MarcoDiego, im not sure, sorry [04:38] Bodsda: ok thanx [04:38] So I've got two problems now. One essentially dupes this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472056 and the other one, which manifests at startup in recovery mode, is an expanded version, where by it keeps saying "soft resetting link", "EH complete" [04:39] sapph424: i di but it does not show up ... [04:39] jpw27_: I tried it on two systems, and they both beep [04:39] How do I find a song in audacious, I got like over 4k songs [04:39] It looks like at least the first one is widespread. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is not my harddrive that is faulty. [04:39] Bodsda: I was trying to make the system beep. [04:39] Actually it seems I owe you all an apology. [04:39] sapph424: with volume control i can but not on trash ... [04:39] matthias_N, delete the panel and make a new one [04:39] Upon further research I've discovered that it it impossible to "wipe" a single file. [04:40] Janice8954, what do you mean 'wipe' a single file? [04:40] Bodsda: thank you i will unless there is a way without deleting ... [04:40] Which leaves me a question. If format the HDD and do a fresh install of Ubuntu, will that destroy the files in question? [04:40] matthias_N, its quicker just to delete it then make a new one honest [04:41] Janice8954: Try using "shred", it should throughly destroy anything. [04:41] i thought 'wipe' was something one did to one's ass [04:41] Janice8954, if you delete/format the partitions then probably yes [04:41] janice: No [04:41] It doesn't. [04:41] !ohmy | Boohbah [04:41] Boohbah: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[04:41] Bodsda: ok [04:42] hello ubottu [04:42] janice: removing a partition doesn't actually remove any of the data. If you are willing to lose the whole drive? [04:42] !ohmy | Boohbah -- seriously, watch your language and behavior [04:42] Boohbah -- seriously, watch your language and behavior: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:42] I am on the internet now wirelessly, but my wlan LED on my thinkpad is not on AND my network-manager applet in my toolbar does not show any wireless networks. any help? [04:42] Janice8954: The average savvy computer geek will find it difficult to recover data from a repartitioned and reformatted drive. You may need to worry about the FBI [04:42] Janice8954: check the package shred [04:42] I said. If I format it not remove a partition. [04:42] Janice8954: The easiest way to wipe an entire drive is to boot to a live disk and use shred from the terminal. By default it overrights 25 times (iirc), howver you can change the amount of overrights. [04:42] Anyone got any ideas? === kushal_12_27_200 is now known as kushal1 [04:43] Janice: If you are willing to lose every bit of data on the drive, you can boot from a live cd and run this command: [04:43] dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda [04:43] lol [04:43] janice: replacing hda with the device for the hard drive in question [04:43] <[Gork]> ellow [04:43] Bodsda: did but no trash shows up [04:43] Anyone know how to enable xinerama information w/ 8.04 + nvidia?

[04:43] Factoid is cool! not found [04:43] Janice8954, I suggest thermite :) [04:44] matthias_N, even with the new panel? try killall gnome-panel then try again [04:44] Why don't you guys realize that those programs are only smoke and mirrors. [04:44] !msgthebot | candive [04:44] candive: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [04:44] Janice8954: Or "shred -vz -n 5 /dev/hda" will overwright the data 5 times with random data, then zero the drive. [04:44] If you are really really worried about it, do it about 20 times [04:44] i would think 2 times would be more then enough [04:44] Janice8954: do remember it is bad for the hard drive if you do that [04:45] Bodsda: yes with an new panel it does not appear ... [04:45] Just remember, it takes a very long time. [04:45] or if you really want to clean it up.. run shred command and then run it under a very strong magnet [04:45] How about I just use my Acer Factory resto disc to restore Vista. Then go back over that with Ubuntu? [04:45] <[Gork]> does anyone know how to get glibc and glibc-dev? [04:45] Magnets don't work either. [04:45] i wouldn't want to unnecessarily write stuff to the dive, more wear and tesat [04:45] *tear [04:45] The metal casing shields the drive from that. [04:45] matthias_N, not sure then ,.,.sorry [04:45] Bodsda: ok ... [04:45] Janice8954: please stop now, you have had several solutions [04:45] Janice8954: use one of them [04:46] shred works great to wipe a drive, just prepare for it to take a long time if the drive is big === alan__m is now known as Alan_M [04:46] janice: Smoke and mirrors? I secure classified data for a living. You REALLY want to be secure? DoD secure? Fine. Get a 2" titanium drill bit and put as many holes in the platters as you can fit. Can we be done now? [04:46] We are thanks. [04:46] Super. [04:46] !nickspam | Alan_M Hi dude: [04:46] Alan_M Hi dude:: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also /msg ubottu Guidelines [04:46] sapph424: yeah i read about that somewhere on the register or inquirer [04:47] im using jfs and everytime my computer shuts down because of a power outage my jfs partition doesnt mount. my ext3 and xfs partitions probably have issues with that too but they repair themselves (im assuming). the jfs partition i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works and fixes it. is there a way to let the system try that if the partition doesnt mount instead of my running the same command manually every time? [04:47] Clearly I will figure this on my own with the help of an FBI Computer Foresic Scientist. [04:47] Personally, I find that to be a bit message. I disassemble the drive (torx is your friend!) and run the platters through a crosscut disc shredder.

[04:49] matthias_N, the applet you are trying to get is simply a launcher which does nautilus ~/.local/share/Trash [04:49] I need to stress test our mail server and do some statistics to see what AV is fastest, so far I have only found mail bomb apps that do the job but produce no analytics so we have to use a stopwatch...

If you can't say it in channel, then please, pm it [04:53] in Gutsy, you could change uid from admin --> users, but this was removed from Hardy. was there an official explanation for this, or did they just move where/how you can do this...?

The gnome-display-properties only allows me to choose 1 display which i do have two monitors.

[04:57] the ATI Control Center allows me to use Big Desktop but its making my monitor to my right the 1st monitor. [04:58] hello rj_ [04:58] I will try that next.

If you don't see me again in the next 24 hours, consider your solution the winner. :) [05:01] xborgy, probably, but i doubt its noticable [05:01] linuxpenguin207 if you use less, it will unzip on the fly [05:01] thanx bodsda. so, wat do i should do?well, im into linux because of hacking. i reall need a guide where do i should go 1st.. [05:01] back [05:01] magic_ninja: why does it work just fine though in windows? [05:01] without having to change the cables? [05:01] rj_: you've come to the wrong place [05:01] xborgy, use a dvi to vga adapter [05:01] sapph424 thanks for leaving out the 't' ;P [05:01] Bodsda what option keeps the minimized program in the grey bar ... [05:02] so...where do i should go. [05:02] Hello. I am having some sound troubles. I can get sound fine in Pidgin, Rhythmbox and Firefox, but not all three at the same time. [05:02] magic_ninja: i would have to use two of them i dont have two of them. [05:02] rj_: somewhere else, anywhere else [05:02] rj_ use knoppix [05:02] okay... [05:02] xborgy, i'm inexperienced with this type of thing, but that seems, generally the simplest solution, or switch the monitors around if you can [05:02] yeah critta, i have the same prob too. [05:02] i am hoping this update will fix the problem with linksys wireless card [05:02] whenever i update from feisty to gutsy on ppc when i try logging in i get a blue screen [05:02] critta, Are you viewing flash videos in Firefox? [05:02] owh...is it much friendly than ubuntu? [05:02] rj_: /join #security [05:02] My computer has now been chugging essentially the same error message out three times a minute for the past three hours. [05:03] rj_ we have a policy of not facilitating aircrack or the like [05:03] Yes. [05:03] thanks [05:03] is there a reason why when I do sudo deluser --remove-all-files testbox it doesn't remove their home directory? [05:03] rj_: try using gentoo! you will find it much helpful [05:03] Woah, I just fixed it. [05:03] <|Juan|> help here please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [05:03] magic_ninja: thanks for trying to help. [05:03] owh... now I see.tahnx a lot dude. [05:03] rj_: yes, gentoo is good too [05:03] congrats [05:03] afallenhope you need to use --remove-home [05:03] critta, , I think the problem is that flash does not work with pulseaudio yet, you have a few options if that is the problem you are having. 1: install libflashsupport to get in development and still buggy ( makes flash less stable ) support for flash in pulseaudio 2: stop using pulseaudio and instead use ALSA directly ( this can be done from System -> Preferences -> Sound ) [05:03] I went to System -> Preferencs -> Sound and changed everything to PulseAudio. [05:04] i need ppc help [05:04] critta: good luck with that [05:04] there has got to be something to change priority or which monitor is the default though right? [05:04] afallenhope: You might want to add --remove-home [05:04] critta, Were you shak- earlier today? [05:04] Nope. [05:04] nickrud: Sorry didn't see your reply [05:04] hard to beleive it dont just work like it does in windows. [05:04] addison it's pretty tiny, but sometimes there's help in #ubuntu-ppc . Mostly devs there, but they do take pity on people with specific questions if they have the time [05:04] genii & nickrud: I do add that but it still doesn't [05:04] nothing actually just works in ubuntu so far. [05:04] genii no problem, sometimes repetition reassures people [05:05] i think i need to go back to LFS and make sure everything works. [05:05] xborgy: Don't I know it. [05:05] why does linux developer didnt create games for linux [05:05] i miss LFS> [05:05] hey i've imported some themes into the emerald theme manager but how do i put them into effect? I tried emerald --replace but it returns to the old theme whenever i use the desktop cube effect [05:06] rj_: linux games do exist [05:06] its the best linux in the world [05:06] !games | rj_ [05:06] rj_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [05:06] Hmm. [05:06] afallenhope just ran a test here, it worked [05:06] afallenhope: it works here too [05:06] so no idea why yours is not working [05:07] anyone know? [05:07] I need educational programs for edubuntu, anyone know of others that are not in the standard repos? [05:08] i mean doesnt like games for windows. you can found it anywhere. in my country, most of the linux user is hacker. [05:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18957/plain/ [05:08] Andreus: yeah most of all these people making their own distros is going to newbies and the problem is there isnt enough help for the newbies.With Linux From Scratch everything will work perfectly because you have to build it all from scratch. [05:08] nickrud & rampageoberon: look at this: http://pastebin.com/d5baaa272 [05:08] xborgy: I am a complete Linux newb. I just want a distro that will run Ventrilo, apache2, mySQL and Icecast without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. [05:09] webwulf: look in Applications>Add/Remove>Education [05:09] webwulf, sugar and related apps from the One Laptop Per child project [05:09] and there is no linux games that i can buy at the shop. [05:09] test [05:09] Andreus: cool [05:09] Right now, my completely new computer hovers between a state of bricked and un-bricked and I can't really work out what exactly it hinges on when one boot in recovery mode will work and another won't. [05:09] afallenhope try it without the --remove-all-files [05:09] rj_: the point of linux games is that their free.. [05:09] does google have google earth for linux? [05:09] Andreus: i want something that works and linux isnt it heheheh [05:09] windows and mac is [05:10] we all know that. === badassmuther is now known as ireland [05:10] nickrud: that works.. but why doesn't it work with the --remove-all-files? [05:10] linuxpenguin207: yes [05:10] Yeah, but I wouldn't be here if I could just use Windows or Mac. [05:10] !medibuntu | linuxpenguin207 [05:10] linuxpenguin207: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:10] Hi and thx in advance. I'm runing ubuntu studio 7.10 and have been trying to update to 8.04 but when i start the Update Manager it gives me an error saying "W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de stable Release.... NO_PUBKEY" I've also tried updateing of a mounted .ISO but have no luck. I can update packets after i close the error msg but there is't an opp to update to 8.04. can any one help me? [05:10] afallenhope the man page for deluser explains it [05:10] Andreus: i just jumped into Ubuntu Studio to try it then i kinda like it but it has way way too many issues. [05:11] linuxpenguin207: yes but you should still look at the link above [05:11] is there a less chaotic intermediate chat? [05:11] where do i find games for ubuntu? [05:11] do you know which linux distro that really suitable for "Aspire 4520 laptop"? [05:11] and nothing Ubuntu Studio has compares to Cubase SX [05:11] Has anyone here got SHOUTcast working with IDJC? [05:11] or Adobe Photosho[ [05:11] soldats: what link? [05:11] rj_: try different ones and find out [05:11] The Gimp is just too plain. [05:11] nickrud: no it doesn't.. because it keeps the home dir [05:11] !games | In-Sane`` [05:11] In-Sane``: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [05:11] ok.. i keep that in mind. [05:12] is ubuntu studio just ubuntu with a bunch of audio apps installed? b/c i agree that it has issues and am thinking a/b reverting to regular 'ol ubuntu and then installing those apps [05:12] linuxpenguin207: the link ubott_u gave you from rampageoberon [05:12] afallenhope the home dir is not the files :) [05:12] afallenhope try it again, but check to see if the files disappear, but not the home dir itself [05:12] In-Sane``, also, check the add/remove applications menu item under the applications menu, there is a "games" subsection. [05:12] linuxpenguin207: in short open synaptics and search for google earth [05:12] Has anyone here got SHOUTcast working with IDJC? [05:13] In-Sane``, sorry, not add remove applications, just "add/remove" under "applications" menu. [05:13] ezzieyguywuf: that and it has the rtprio.py thingy set to 99 for highest priority making the kernel a low latency kernel. [05:13] linuxpenguin207: you need to add the medibuntu repo to you sources.list first [05:13] Alan_M: yep, got it there, thanks [05:13] tyler_: i know someone who has so i know it very possible. he runa streaming server [05:13] im using jfs and everytime my computer shuts down because of a power outage my jfs partition doesnt mount. my ext3 and xfs partitions probably have issues with that too but they repair themselves (im assuming). the jfs partition i always have to manually run jfs_fsck which always works and fixes it. is there a way to let the system try that if the partition doesnt mount instead of my running the same command manually every time? [05:13] Hi, I'm a new user and having some trouble setting up my wireless. I'm pretty sure I need to download the drivers, but i'm not sure where or how to go about that, if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. [05:13] the rtprio.py is telling @sound to have 99 [05:13] yea well i don't really have latency issues, so i don't think thats a problem [05:13] In-Sane``, welcome :) [05:13] but I'm getting a very weird bug, when I add a user pam claims the account has expired!

[05:16] oh. okay. [05:16] rampageoberon, yep [05:16] linuxmonkey, And support for thin clients and generaly useful tools in a school environment [05:16] afallenhope then they are conflicting options. You might check for a bug report on bugs.ubuntu.com , and file one against adduser with an explanation of what is happening. Either the docs will change or the behaviour will change [05:16] linuxpenguin207: well just as i said do a search for it in synaptics but make sure you have the medibuntu repos enabled and he/she should be able to install it [05:16] satanas: remove the totem plugins for mozilla and install mpayer plugins for mozilla [05:16] there is even a Ubuntu Christmas Edition.

[05:21] afallenhope, try updating through synaptic or go to system->administration->update-manager [05:22] There's got to be a solution to this. [05:22] rampageoberon: yes i belive it is [05:22] i saw it on digg once [05:22] gdm will not start properly unless i select a 2.6.22 kernel [05:22] hello everybody, ubuntu user here. to install new packages in redhat, can you use directly "rpm" like I do with "apt-get"? It seems to me that rpm is mainly for installing rather than downloading them from a repository like for the latter. Is this the case? [05:22] i´m running ubuntu 8.04 and have tried to install slackware on a second partition. as you may know, slackware runs lilo, not grub, and i´m having trouble installing slack into grub.

[05:23] Hello, How do I stop my laptop from switching screens when I use my touch pad. can the extra screen be disabled? Thank you. [05:23] akahige: i've noticed that the -18 kernel has issues, the -19 might fix some of them (it is in the pre-released repo, use only if you don't mind having the possiblity of more issues)) [05:23] Andreus, Did the upgrade complete "successfully" or was it possibly stopped mid upgrade? [05:23] ata2, rpm is more for installing, correct, you cant download with a package manager like rpm or dpkg. [05:23] hm, no help? [05:23] my gdm will not start after a hardy to gutsy upgrade unless i choose the 2.6.22-14 kernel [05:23] Jordan_U: They always complete successfully [05:23] Alan_M: is there anything built in redhat with a repository element? [05:23] is this the right place for a slackware and ubuntu problem? [05:24] * Jalathan is afk [05:24] Jalathan: more issues is NOT something I need right now. what kind of issues are you seeing?

[05:24] ata2, np [05:24] It works OK if you boot SATA in RAID mode! [05:24] akahige: i skipped the -18 kernel, but am finding the -19 is unstable for my use [05:25] Of course, that only works if you use ubuntu as your sole O/S [05:25] Jalathan: would that effect smb? that's not kernel level, is it? [05:25] rampageoberon, mplayer also fails to stream ^^... I tried totem cuz I was desperate :P [05:25] akahige: i'm afraid that i'm not sure, however it would likely affect the network abilities of the device [05:26] Hi, can I install the ubuntu on a removable HD and from a windows start ubuntu? [05:26] satanas: interesting, I was having problems with totem locking up the whole system [05:26] When I do a hardware check it say I am connected to the internet and it detects my card, i'm using wired ethernet, and can't even get to google.com, any idea?

[05:27] satanas: i'm not sure then, sorry :( [05:27] Jalathan: network stack, sure. but this issue seems to ONLY be smb related. all other networking functions (that I've tried) seem fine. and even weirder, I can stream media down from devices, but my ability to write to them is totally hosed. [05:27] Anybody know deep kernel voodoo? [05:27] my computer keeps booting up to the bluetooth configuration file. can anyone help me out?

[05:28] Chrasange, what is the output of netstat -rn [05:28] puff, TheFool [05:28] akahige: i'd recommend trying reinstalling -17 and see if it helps you. (I did note that -18 created some really... wacked out issues) sry, i need to afk <.<;; [05:28] Chrasange: maybe you have a DNS issue, can you ping an internet addr like 199.1.13.9? [05:29] Jalathan: cool. thanks for the help [05:29] np [05:29] linuxpenguin207: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b5/releasenotes/ then :) just replaced the 3 with a 5 :) [05:29] brb [05:29] linuxpenguin207: latest version in the repos is rc1 [05:29] n-iCe: ok first off which ssh server? second off how have you set up users?

[05:30] ok, even more recent http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0rc2/releasenotes/ [05:30] n-iCe: And after you answer TheFool, do "ps -ef | fgrep -i sshd" [05:30] n-iCe: And after that, "netstat -la | fgrep -i ssh" [05:31] does anyone know how to download and install emerald themes [05:31] TheFool, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [05:31] that ip says i have i686 but i have i386, isn't i686 for 64-bit? [05:31] can anyone help me how to play dota in linux.i already install wine. [05:32] mystery_: emerald theme manager used to be the best way, haven't messed with it since 7.10 though [05:32] n-iCe: so openssh... [05:32] TheFool, i guess so [05:32] linuxpenguin207 no, i686 is pentium II class or better 32bit [05:32] n-iCe: And "ps -ef | fgrep -is sshd" shows you what? [05:32] anyone know if dnsmasq on a client bridge will conflict with the dhcp server on a linksys fw gateway? [05:32] so i shouldnt go to the site and download from there [05:32] puff, root@TampiKo-NeT:/home/tampiko# ps -ef | fgrep -i sshd [05:33] i know this isnt dd-wrt but no one there is answering [05:33] root 8374 1 0 22:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd [05:33] n-iCe: don't PASTE [05:33] root 8561 8518 0 23:32 pts/0 00:00:00 fgrep -i sshd [05:33] n-iCe: Use a pastebin. [05:33] that's all [05:33] linuxpenguin207, i686-64 would mean you had 64 bit. [05:33] and how about setting up the users, I am hoping you did nothing? and are trying to logon with your normal linux user/pass? [05:33] n-iCe: Pasting to this channel will get you kicked out.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:33] puff, now? [05:33] n-iCe: if it's over one line, use a pastebin [05:33] n-iCe: netstat -la | fgrep -i ssh [05:33] so then im running the wrong ubuntu cause i clicked i386 iso i should have clicked i686? [05:34] linuxpenguin207: you using x86 architecture? [05:34] linuxpenguin207, no you have the right one, as long as its not a 64 bit processor one for a 32 bit processor, your doing good :) [05:34] <|Juan|> help here please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [05:34] i am having problems with display in hardy [05:34] linuxpenguin207 no, there's only 32bit (i386) and 64bit (amd64, although it runs on intel 64bit as well) [05:34] BTW 64 bit ubuntu sucks [05:34] TheFool, do you use desktop themes. Is there something better out there that I should check out> [05:34] n-iCe: And tell me how many lines you see in the output (or just put it on a pastebin). That will show if your ssh server is listening on a port. [05:34] Can anyone help me? I am trying use VNC to connect to my server? But I have no idea what I am doing. [05:35] puff, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18960/ [05:35] the windows basically refreshes slowly [05:35] I have 64bit Hardy Heron, and it fails, no matter what, in any desktop, help? [05:35] yes its intel pentium 4 [05:35] Hello, world [05:35] no software [05:35] no voice chat [05:35] n-iCe: Okay, so listen to TheFool, then, because ssh is installed, and running and listening on a port. [05:35] mystery_: I went to fluxbox so...can't help you much [05:36] linuxpenguin207 so what's happening is the -generic kernel recognizes what chip you have, and optimizes itself for pentium II or better [05:36] n-iCe: So the problem is probably somewhere in how you're trying to log into it or in how you have your users set up. [05:36] oh ok cool [05:36] i have 64 bit and sure it runs fine, [05:36] but i cannot get the programs i want to use [05:36] puff, how should I set up [05:36] n-iCe: does "ssh localhost" work? [05:36] unavailable the very reason I went back to 32bit [05:36] lol [05:36] amd64 works fine here [05:37] yah it works fine [05:37] n-iCe: How are you trying to access the machine? What ssh client, and are you using a key or using login/password? [05:37] nickrud: thanks [05:37] just cant get any type of voice chat [05:37] puff, ssh user@ip [05:37] flash works here on amd64 [05:37] then pass [05:37] im trying to get a yahoo im voice chat [05:37] unavailable: I had problems with Flash and wine (trying to run 32 bit windows apps.) I didn't expect the wine problems. There are a few silly little windows programs I really like. [05:37] n-iCe: And you get "permission denied"? [05:37] Excuse me, but I have a quick question on Ubuntu version 7.10. I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade to Hardy Heron via the upgrade program included with Ubuntu. [05:37] thats why i use VirtualBox [05:37] puff, yeah and using localhost as rampageoberon said i got ssh: connect to host localhost port 27: Connection refused [05:37] unavailable, 32 bit seems to give you more options, your just not using the full capabilities of the processor (64 bit processing of course) with 32 bit on a 64 (obviously).

Odd... isn't port 22 ssh? [05:38] Thank you all very much! [05:38] puff yes it is port 22 [05:38] n-iCe: does "ssh localhost -p 22" work? [05:38] wow, that was a oops :/ [05:38] puff, well it does it automatically, how can i reset the settings? [05:38] n-iCe: What rampageoberon said. [05:38] repetition breeds reassurance Alan_M [05:38] Good nite [05:38] ubottu didnt recognize the command was given twice :/ [05:38] Alan_M: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:39] puff, n-iCe: does "ssh localhost" work? [05:39] noticed that too. But ubottu is only a stopgap [05:39] anyways i was thinking about deleting my windows xp, yes thats right. but theres one reason i need XP is DVD shrink. does that work in wine and don't even say virtualbox......so much painful memories lol [05:39] n-iCe: No,m he said "does ssh localhost -p 22" work [05:39] nickrud, heh, yeah... [05:39] n-iCe: The -p 22 specifies port 22, which is what ssh should be listening on. [05:39] oh, puff , rampageoberon ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [05:39] i have a question i was needing help with how come when i do SU in my terminal and enter the correct in getting su: "Authentication failure" [05:39] virtualbox by sun [05:40] not ose [05:40] hello. im trying to install 8.04 via the amd64 alt cd. when i try to install or even check cd for defects i end up with this error "your installation cd-rom couldnt be mounted ... try to mount cd-rom?" i enter yes... and it just gives me the same error again. i have downloaded the iso from two different mirrors and still no success. any ideas/tips? [05:40] linuxpenguin207 I used virtualbox for the first time today, to install ubuntu on my work box. Went swimmingly (did use the sun version, though) [05:40] linuxpenguin207: Why not get familiar with the Linux native alternatives? [05:40] n-iCe: Oddd. [05:40] puff, how can I reset the settings? === shingen^ is now known as shingen [05:41] puff: just wondering about ssh trying to connect to port 27, something wrong in /etc/ssh/ssh_config? [05:41] upgrdman did you burn the iso as an image file (stupid question, but ... ) [05:41] linuxpenguin207: Disk space is cheap. Might as well keep the Windows partition, I say. [05:41] twiztidmind when you type su use blank pass? [05:41] nickrud: virtualbox is slow in my opinon i think i alloted too much ram [05:41] nickrud, no i burned it as a cd... the cd boots and i get the ubuntu logo etc at startup [05:41] upgradman -- maybe try pressing f6 and enter all-generic-ide [05:41] so, i have HardyHeron and I can't boot in ANY desktop, ideas? [05:41] rampageoberon: Sounds weird. [05:41] @ bootup [05:41] rampageoberon: Then again, that's on the client machine. [05:42] n-iCe: What is the operating system of the machine you are trying to ssh _from_? [05:42] linuxpenguin207 I switched to it because vmware was slow. But this is in a windows host, so not really applicable or on topic really [05:42] ksa1, thanks... brb [05:42] flannel: i have tried acid:rip and it doesn't even burn the whole dvd just one chapter [05:42] puff: thinking it might have the port 27 enabled in ssh_config so the client tries that [05:42] puff, ubuntu [05:42] what do u mean [05:42] Chrasange: Lots of possible points of failure in the boot process. You should narrow it down a bit. Does GRUB load? Does the kernel load? Does it fail probing hardware? Does X start? etc. [05:42] my pass for SU is my root pass right? [05:42] twiztidmind use sudo -i [05:43] Hi, an ext3 partition is reporting wrong free space (/dev/sda7 ext3 113G 108G 0 100% /home/jindal/Misc) ... any ideas? [05:43] Chrasange I would look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:43] linuxpenguin207: Well, burning and ripping are two separate things. You'd rip it to an iso (or folder, I guess) and then burn that. [05:43] k [05:43] !dvd | linuxpenguin207 [05:43] linuxpenguin207: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:43] puff, is there any way to restore the default settings? I tried uninstalling and installing again, no success [05:43] twiztidmind: for su, yes, but sudo is your user's password [05:43] Aside from Firefox, what is likely the most fully functional/mature browser available? [05:43] k [05:43] thanks [05:43] n-iCe: do cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config | grep -i "port" [05:43] hey, how do you use lightscribe on ubuntu 8.04 x64? [05:43] what's a free audio development library? [05:43] Shalom all! [05:43] ok so if su is my root password (and i never set one up) than what is my root password? [05:43] n-iCe: Yeah, you have to uninstall with the purge option. [05:43] unavailable: nothing. === kompi01 is now known as deje_85 [05:44] Randocal: epiphany / seamonkey / opera / konqueror [05:44] like "nothing"? [05:44] n-iCe: Did you mess with the ssh settings after installing? [05:44] thanks for the advice [05:44] jindal I think the diff you're seeing is the space that's reserved for root storage [05:44] or literally no thing typed [05:44] unavailable: there isn't one. root is locked [05:44] Shabbot shalom [05:44] puff, yes [05:44] Thank you yell0w. I'll try those out, FF doesn't wanna play nice with one of my websites i use for work. [05:44] n-iCe: ah-ah! [05:44] hey guys, I have a certain executable file that will only run if my command prompt is in the same directory as the executable.....based on this, i cannot create a gnome-panel shortcut. I was wondering if there any workarounds to this? [05:44] Starnestommy and how do i unlock it? [05:44] puff, that's I want to know how to restore I wanted to change the port, I did but now it is not working, how is the purge command? [05:44] jindal normally an ext3 partition reserves 5% of the disk for access only by root [05:44] sudo -i? [05:44] n-iCe: Okay, try sudo aptitude purge packagename [05:44] if sudo apt-get install openssh-server is for remove [05:44] ok [05:44] Does anyone have any information on how I can play and/or convert a .3g2 video file on Ubuntu? [05:45] n-iCe: sudo aptitude purge openssh-client [05:45] oh my god stride is false advertising it really doesnt last that long [05:45] !root | unavailable [05:45] unavailable: 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 [05:45] unavailable: yes [05:45] n-iCe: sudo aptitude purge openssh-server [05:45] sudo aptitude purge openssh-server , ok [05:45] n-iCe: sudo aptitude install openssh-server openssh-client [05:45] unavailable: You don't want to. [05:45] Sigh, still nobody has any ideas on my disappearing wireless? [05:45] nickrud, yeah right [05:45] * puff is tempted to reinstall from scratch. [05:45] os if there is no root password, what is the point of su [05:45] thanks [05:45] even after extensive search and posting on ubuntu forums i m having no luck :( [05:45] unavailable: You don't use su, you use sudo. [05:45] n-iCe: do cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config | grep -i "port" before you purge [05:45] Randocal: I'd say Opera. It's the only other one with market share, so to speak. Epiphany is the gecko engine--not substantially different from Firefox for the problem you're having. [05:45] i know im just being a pain [05:45] unavailable: it allows switching between users other than root [05:45] lol [05:46] puff - did you hit some keys on your laptop by mistake to disable the wireless, assumming it's a laptop? [05:46] I need some help sharing files with Virtual Box can anyone assist me in doing this? [05:46] aah [05:46] unavailable sudo -i is functionally equiv to su - , sudo -s is su [05:46] unavailable: plus lets root switch users [05:46] I have not done it before [05:46] rampageoberon, what should I write on "port" or just leave the "port" word? [05:46] Randocal: Konqueror has yet another rendering engine entirely, but is *really* far from mainstream. Heh. [05:46] puff, did you recently run a software update? 2.6.24-18 might have not recognized [05:46] hey, did anything major come through in the last round of upgrades? [05:46] t [05:46] eross: Good suggestion, but no. Ever since the last kernel update (to 18, I believe, though now I'm on the proposed 19 and it's still a problem) my wireless just disappears after a while. dhclient eth1 doesn't get a response, iwlist scan eth1 shows no networks, and ifup/ifdown never heard of eth1. Rebooting restores it for a short while, then I'm back to there. [05:46] just leave "port" n-iCe [05:46] thanks afabian, i'll try Opera 2nd if Epiphany doesn't work (already in the process of installing it) [05:46] i just upgraded my hardy box, and then it died (black screen) a couple hours later [05:46] and it won't boot any more (dies on login) [05:46] ok, rampageoberon [05:46] eross: Thinkpad t43p, bwt. [05:46] would anyone knkow where i should look to fix it? [05:47] bad updates? bad x.org config? (there wern't any x updates i don't remember) [05:47] so if sudo -s is su and I CAN sudo -s to root using my password [05:47] nano: you can write a script to "cd" to the proper directory and run the executable [05:47] rampageoberon, Port 27 [05:47] unavailable yes [05:47] than why cannot i su to root using my password [05:47] puff, n-iCe aha thats it [05:47] ifireball, so then my gnome-panel shortcut should reference a script [05:47] ? [05:47] unavailable because the root account is locked. Read the link for rationale [05:47] rampageoberon, :) purge will restore settings, right? [05:47] n-iCe: okay now do the purge of both the client and the server and reinstall them [05:47] lol [05:47] !rootsudo | unavailable [05:47] unavailable: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [05:47] unavailable: use sudo -i. sudo -s keeps all of the user's settings but tuns as root [05:47] hey, how do you get lightscribe to work through 64-bit 8.04 Ubuntu [05:47] ook [05:48] n-iCe: yes [05:48] nano: yes. [05:48] *runs [05:48] there doesn't seem to be anything yet on google about this [05:48] now [05:48] has this happened to anyone else here? === Rolanditu\Afk is now known as Rolanditu [05:48] unavailable, if you want to su, just do sudo passwd and then su [05:48] puff, rampageoberon, Port 27 <-- no wonder it tried port 27 [05:48] its busy here :( [05:48] n-iCe: purge removes the file you want to remove plus any config files....so its like killing it [05:48] how would i go about fixing it? (major part) [05:48] eross: I found a bug report, which, sadly, my laptop crashed before I could bookmark and now I can't find it again for some reason. This bug report (180455 I thought, but that's apparently not it) said that the best bet was to revert to an earlier kernel. But when I tried doing so by simply uinstalling kernel 2.6.24-19 and related packages, things got seriously hosed, graphics didn't work, etc. [05:49] darth: Please don't advise that here. Most people "need" root because they don't know any better. [05:49] !noroot | darth (lol) [05:49] darth (lol): We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [05:49] unavailable, if your trying to enable the root account, then we cannot help you with this.....we can only tell you how to use sudo to do things with root privledges. [05:49] ;) [05:49] it was always just a weird thing i guess [05:49] anyway [05:49] thnx for pointing that out nickrud [05:49] !netboot [05:49] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[05:50] Alan_M: couldn't you just enable it through System>>Admin>>Users and groups?? [05:50] unavailable I was using sudo for years before I switched to ubuntu, I like the 4 letter security of not doing the old romeo mike in the wrong terminal window (been there, done that) [05:50] simplechat: are you able to get to the console? [05:50] hi all [05:50] linuxpenguin207, i believe we should move from this discussion, thanks :) [05:50] lol [05:50] allquixotic, 3 seconds after logging in, i lose video output [05:50] moniter goes blank, complains that it has no input [05:50] simplechat: I was having some serious problems in that vein, which arose from my efforts to fix the problems caused by the kernel update about 6 days ago. [05:50] hi [05:50] nickrud: yeah its easy to get mixed up between # and $ [05:51] nickrud: and on this laptop with thinkfinger enabled, sudo is a breeze [05:51] rampageoberon heh. I'm nearsighted :) [05:51] newb here needs some help... anyone available? [05:51] simplechat: oh you mean 3 seconds after logging into the graphical login? [05:51] puff, hmmm, k. i tried and older kernel and it had the same issue [05:51] allquixotic, yep [05:51] nickrud: i've been known to do these stupid things, so mainly referring to myself [05:51] simplechat: using an ATI card? [05:51] $ sudo rm / [05:51] Password or swipe finger: [05:51] login screen -> i put in my credentials -> see my normal programs start up -> Black screen [05:51] which kernel is "STABLE" because I can't hibernate anymore...

It upgraded a ton of things, and now everything except the original wireless problem is back to normal. Only I'm on hardy-proposed now, of course. [05:52] i'm also getting random reboots when playing URT, but i thought that was just thermal [05:52] simplechat: If you can figure out what packages were in the last round of upgrades, you can boot into a live CD, chroot, and force the install of the old packages manually with dpkg [05:52] in ubuntu hardy i installed nvidia-glx-new drive. now the monitor is configured with the 1024x768 resolution. and the other choices are not in the list. but my monitor supports up to 1600x1200. what can i do? [05:52] heheh sorry cant help it, it was easier to do than i initially thought.... [05:52] puff, ah [05:52] darth often we do a ban for typing that, so please don't repeat [05:52] simplechat: I've noticed widespread stability problems with ATi's proprietary fglrx driver on 8.04 and even 7.10, I would suggest using the open source driver... slower for games, but stable [05:52] for typing? [05:52] rampageoberon, done, purged, now? [05:53] the remove command? [05:53] sorry [05:53] simplechat: I'm not sure what the deal is with hardy-proposed, but if it's anything like a dist-upgrade, then it's going to be hard/impossible to go backwards, so I'm either stuck on hardy-proposed or I reinstall from scratrch. [05:53] puff: You got lucky, You ought to disable hardy-proposed as soon as possible. [05:53] afabian, yeah, but how would i know that? [05:53] Flannel: I can? [05:53] n-iCe: sudo aptitude install openssh-client openssh-server [05:53] anyone? [05:53] anyone? [05:53] i'm unable to reload synaptic... anyone know what i can do? [05:53] anyone know if dnsmasq on a client bridge will conflict with the dhcp server on a linksys fw gateway? [05:53] it wasnt my point, the point was the password finger swiping [05:53] unavailable: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:53] allquixotic, the oss driver doesn't run at any sort of speed [05:53] puff: Of course, jst remove it from your sources.list, or uncheck it in software sources, or whatever. [05:53] i can't update either [05:53] :T [05:53] :( [05:54] Flannel: Okay, commented it out. [05:54] simplechat: maybe.. ahh... time-stamps on debs in /var/cache/apt/archives? [05:54] Flannel: What happens next? I just wait for the packages in the remaining repositories to out-pace the ones installed from hardy-proposed? [05:54] puff, that would suck. this was just a normal apt-get update though [05:54] hello [05:54] with the normal set of repos [05:54] nobi-san do sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal, put the output on paste.ubuntu.com , and give me the link so I can see it [05:54] afabian, so first what? i need to mount my other drive, then chroot? [05:55] nickrud: thanks! [05:55] puff: you're still using the -proposed packages that you've installed, you just wont get any more of them. If you'd like, you can downgrade whatever you installed, which gets especially easy if you know exactly what you upgraded. [05:55] nickrud: will do [05:55] simplechat: Update or upgrade? [05:55] how to make sun java to default JDK/JRE? thx [05:55] this makes 4 broken dpkg databases, is it a full moon? [05:55] simplechat: update just updates apt's record of packages, shoudn't actually install anything. [05:55] puff, it was through the little update manager thing [05:55] puff: Both , in the order you had them [05:55] upgrade it would be then [05:55] Flannel: It upgraded 89 packages. [05:56] noobuntu if you installed them as ubuntu packages, sudo update-alternatives --config java should let you choose [05:56] simplechat: in 8.04 its safe-upgrade or full-upgrade depending on what you want to do [05:56] simplechat: Ah, okay, that was equivalent to a full-upgrade. [05:56] puff: You could probably check your dpkg log. Or at least, get a pretty good idea from it [05:56] Hey is there a SHOUTcast plugin for XMMS? [05:56] nickrud: will try now [05:56] so it was a full-upgrade [05:56] why does ubuntu suck so much balls? [05:56] simplechat: Yeah, that should work. dpkg should work fine.. but, you'll have to get old versions of the packages in question. Maybe directly out of FTP. You might just want to try replacing some likely candidates. [05:56] so how do i go back? [05:56] reeeginetor: Please troll elsewhere, thanks. [05:56] how do i add a notify on text event to xchat?

[05:57] afabian, how do i chroot ? [05:57] puff: Like I said, you got lucky, and you don't necessarily have to downgrade, just wait for hardy-updates to catch up [05:57] can anyone tell me how i can find mjy master .bashrc file? [05:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18962/ [05:57] Alan_M settings->prefs->chat->alerts [05:57] i can't seem to figure out which one is it - there are several [05:57] simplechat: Ohh... well, does your system boot? I forget the details. You said the video blanks after an hour? I was thinking "dead system" for some reason. chroot might not be necessary. [05:57] joanki123: locate .bashrc [05:57] thanks nick === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress [05:57] nickrud: it works, thank you! [05:57] joanki123: The one in your home directory substructure [05:58] noobuntu you're welcome [05:58] Flannel: Okay, so I'll wait then... meanwhile, you seem to know a lot about this... is it feasible for my to downgrade to kernel 2.6.24-17 or -16? [05:58] rampageoberon, there is /etc/bash.bashrc, then /root/.bashrc.... then my home .bashrc? [05:58] afabian, black screen 3 seconds after wm starts [05:58] genii, what if i want to affect all users? [05:58] puff: If theyre in the repos still, or if you have them still installed, sure. [05:58] so login, three seconds then black screen [05:58] For that matter, is there a way to list when the various kernel versions were added to the repository? [05:58] no matter what happens [05:58] joanki123: your home bashrc is what you want [05:58] i have three different wm's [05:58] thanks all [05:58] all three cause issues [05:58] including just plain openbox [05:58] joanki123: it affects only you [05:58] Flannel: I have 17, 18 and 19. I tried using the startup-manager to startup with 17, but that didn't seem to work well. [05:58] joanki123: For all users the global in /etc substructure [05:58] nothing's downloading [05:58] :T [05:59] genii, thanks [05:59] not my synaptic, updates, reload [05:59] Bodsda (or anyone): i'm stumped (and a n00b to ubuntu) [05:59] renate@MobileCats:~$ sudo wine /home/renate/Desktop/ITP32Eng6.20.182.0.exe [05:59] puff: Are those all you have in /boot? or is that just what's listed at GRUB? [05:59] [sudo] password for renate: [05:59] wine: /home/renate/.wine is not owned by you [05:59] renate@MobileCats:~$ [05:59] renate@MobileCats:~$ sudo -i [05:59] Renate: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:59] simplechat: Ahh. Well, just boot the system and kill the display manager and work from the console. Use.. say, control-alt-f1 to get to the first terminal, log in... [05:59] genii, how do i make the changes take place? [05:59] joanki123 /root is for when you sudo -i , the /etc is for all users on the machine, and the one in home is for you personally (gets read after the one in /etc and can override [05:59] it doesn' tseem to [05:59] simplechat: you might want to stop the X display manager.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:59] nickrud, thanks [05:59] this is probably a really newb question but is the version i'm using too old? [06:00] simplechat: And then... use dpkg to manually install old debs in place of the updated ones. [06:00] afabian, how? [06:00] genii, when i make the change, the cmd prompt doesn't change even when i open a new shell [06:00] afabian how? [06:00] how can stop usernames from being truncated when using w? [06:00] simplechat: how on which part? [06:00] control alt f1, get the terminal [06:00] joanki123: source .bashrc [06:00] then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:00] ? [06:00] Flannel: That's just what's listed in grub and in the startup manager. /boot has 2.6.24-16 also. [06:00] nickrud: firefox is stil using OpenJDK WebStart [06:00] oh yeah, how would i stop autorunning programs? just to stop any issue from them causing this [06:00] simplechat: Eh, you can skip that step, most likely. The gdm stop one. [06:00] ? [06:00] anyone here know anything about the history of linux sound? [06:00] apparently my SD card is a CD-ROM now [06:01] and I can't fix it [06:01] afabian, so which debs do i need? [06:01] noobuntu sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so [06:01] thanks genii [06:01] [ 3527.440808] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format. [06:01] puff: alright, in your menu.lst, you can change the number of kernels displayed. You can increase that, or just remove the intermediate ones, and you can set -16 to be default in a number of ways. safedefault is probably the most forward compatable one [06:01] and it fails to mount [06:01] nickrud: did you get my paste? [06:01] I want to know why alsa and pulseaudio can't support all the software mixing [06:01] hej, does someone know if I can set the cpu governor so, that it doesn't use the highest rate (restrict it to 1,6ghz max instead of 2ghz)? [06:01] joanki123: np [06:01] simplechat: I'm not really sure, in general. Ubuntu uses this system called upstart. sysvinit seems to allow you to edit what starts at various runlevels, but I don't know what a simple way is. [06:01] nobi-san no, I didn't. What's the link? [06:01] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18962/ [06:01] so samba vs windows CIFS, which is faster? [06:01] (I'm want to completely obliterate anything on the drive and make it fresh, halp D: [06:02] jlulian38: Use UUID and not /dev/name in your fstab files. [06:02] Flannel, nickrud is there a rules-document somewhere about what to say and what not to say on this channel? [06:02] nobi-san that's good, what are you trying to do in synaptic that fails (exactly) [06:02] like the (not so funny) remove command [06:02] help please?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/18963/ [06:02] It's not an fstab issue though [06:02] kk [06:02] darth, just use common sense :) [06:02] thansk afabian [06:02] After a restart bash history in a GNOME terminal prints some entries in the format cd "`echo -e '\0057home\0057detlef\0057gnome\0057gnome\0055volume\0055manager\0055\0062\0056\0062\0062\0056\0061'`" instead of the format 'cd /home/detlef/gnome/gnome-volume-manager-2.22.1'. Is this a bug or a feature? [06:02] lol....but! [06:02] simplechat: do an ls -l on /var/cache/apt/archives -- by the date/time they came down, it should be apparent which ones were in the last batch of updates. [06:02] !coc | darth (and a lot of it is something you'll just learn as you go along) [06:02] darth (and a lot of it is something you'll just learn as you go along): The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [06:02] I'm jamming a USB stick with an SD card in, and I get crazy errors [06:02] Flannel: Where does menu.lst live? [06:03] nickrud, trying to install updates and download mplayer [06:03] Alan_M, that would entail that i have common sense [06:03] nickrud, i'll go check that immediately [06:03] darth, just go by the Code of Conduct link you were previously given :D [06:03] in HardyHeron, is there a way to permanently delete the default folder that are created ~/Music and ~/Photos [06:03] darth anything that might destroy a person's data/system is not something to just throw around without explanatory material. If you keep that in mind, you can't go wrong [06:03] Alan_M, i'll try ;) [06:03] nano: Look in /etc/skel [06:03] darth, as long as you stick to that, you CANNOT go wrong my friend ;) [06:03] wow [06:03] wtf? [06:03] simplechat: Unfortunately, this is just .. labor intensive. You can find the debs on the install disc, most likely, but they'll be somewhat old versions.. or, you can try to find the last versions before this update broke something.. straight off of archive.ubuntu.com. Just pick debs with the next lowest version number before this upgrade happened. [06:03] genii, thnx [06:03] i have thousands of them [06:03] puff: /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:04] like tens of thousands [06:04] hmmm [06:04] simplechat: ahh.. well, let's see if there's a way to sort them by date. hold on. [06:04] nobi-san ok, type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , and if it fails, give me the output === bobo is now known as bobo2 [06:04] darth: Follow the CoC, follow freenode policy. That pretty much sums it up. [06:04] nickrud: will do [06:04] Flannel: Got it. [06:04] genii, nope [06:04] no go [06:04] nickrud: correct, but obviously i need to install sun java web start first. i was thinking that installing JDK would be sufficient [06:04] Linux sucks because I cant use wireless. On windows it works great!< [06:05] noobuntu install sun-java6-plugin for firefox [06:05] BAsh: go back to windows then :) [06:05] hahahahahahah [06:05] BAsh, I am on Ubuntu 8.04 on another computer and it works wonders [06:05] windows misses you Bash [06:05] rampageoberon, cant you flame me a little then? [06:05] with my Linksys [06:05] i'm a troll! [06:05] Does anyone know how to get Realtek AC97 installed [06:05] is there any trick to getting svideo to work? I have an acer laptop with Intel 915GM chip [06:05] * nickrud kicks trolls, BAsh should reconsider [06:05] i expect intelligent insults! [06:05] this is on Hardy [06:05] thank you BAshm now you can be safely ignored [06:06] nano: gimme a minute [06:06] simplechat: try ls -l | sort -rk 6 | head -20 [06:06] genii, k [06:06] simplechat: That should give you an idea what the last 20 or so are. [06:06] [HARDY] cryptdisks never runs on boot and my commands in rc.local don't seem to be running on boot either. What's going on guys? O_o [06:06] ignore BAsh [06:06] afabian, theres nothing new from today [06:06] ls -l --sort t [06:06] rampageoberon, guess what [06:06] ryancr: What sort of computer do you have [06:06] Parker1: it should be working out of the box [06:06] sorts by date [06:06] yes n-iCe [06:06] Parker1: Acer 4101 laptop [06:06] simplechat this is a wtf [06:06] want the last 20? [06:06] nickrud: here's the paste for the update [06:07] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18964/ [06:07] rampageoberon, i did it, but the same [06:07] is there an /ignore ? [06:07] rampageoberon, ssh: connect to host localhost port 27: Connection refused [06:07] feld... is rc.local +x ? [06:07] yes, I just ignored BAsh [06:07] ok n-iCe [06:07] simplechat: Hm. That's odd. Do you have them download in the background and install later? They don't necessarily have to be from today. Also, ... the package tools may have a better log somewhere. You said it was the update-manager? [06:07] lol [06:07] afabian, i hit install [06:07] then i restarted firefox [06:07] su gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/ssh_config [06:07] just do /ignore BAsh ALL [06:07] sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb [06:07] :/ [06:07] (because it was a firefox update and it asked me to) [06:07] @n-ice [06:07] nobi-san hm, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , and paste the contents [06:07] nano: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [06:08] help please?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/18963/ [06:08] kinda funny [06:08] n-iCe: su gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/ssh_config [06:08] rampageoberon, done, now? [06:08] but yeah [06:08] n-iCe: find Port 27 [06:08] theres nothing thats been updated [06:08] go to firefox's website and you will see "release date 08" for firefox 3 [06:08] !feedthetroll | kushal1 [06:08] kushal1: The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [06:08] Flannel: Hm, nothing in my existing menu.lst specifies the number of kernels displayed. [06:08] simplechat: So, it was the update manager? [06:08] n-iCe: make it 22 and them put a #at the begining [06:08] Its not Jalathan and I have no idea [06:08] nickrud: this is for the upgrade in case you want to see it http://paste.ubuntu.com/18965/ [06:09] puff: try howmany=all [06:09] ryancPMed you. [06:09] n-iCe: save the file and then try again [06:09] oops [06:09] i have a badge on my myspace telling people that mozilla wants to be able to break records with most downloaded in 24 hrs [06:09] but we get it first [06:09] rampageoberon, at what beginning the port line? [06:09] nobi-san sounds like you have a mirror issue, let me see that file I asked for [06:09] Sorry, I am running VNC so it's a little laggy. [06:09] n-iCe: yes [06:09] afabian, yeah [06:09] Renate: with wine, the executables are not needing to be ran with sudo permission [06:10] rampageoberon, ok [06:10] Renate: they are installed within your own directory [06:10] jalathan: everything i try, i get that same error popup (bottom of the paste) [06:10] is it not possible to stop truncated user names when using w command? [06:10] rampageoberon, do i need to restart it somehow? [06:10] nickrud: and here's the last paste you requested http://paste.ubuntu.com/18966/ [06:10] no [06:10] n-iCe: no [06:10] rampageoberon, ok, let's see! [06:10] simplechat: I'm searching google. This update-manager doesn't seem to do very good logging. I think, from now on, my updating is going to be done with aptitude. [06:11] rampageoberon, ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [06:11] Hey guys, I just need to know why my GRUB Boot Menu has so many Ubuntu Kernels, can i delete the older ones? I think i have 4 different kernels on the boot menu [06:11] Anybody? My Realtek AC97 is not installed. Any help? [06:11] Renate, it will confuse wine since wine will then look for its config in /root/.wine, don't use sudo for wine [06:11] Renate: ok. the driver isn't installed via wine though... [06:11] nobi-san do you have a http_proxy set anywhere? [06:11] simplechat: do you have anything in /var/log/dist-upgrade? [06:11] eido: Widen out your terminal screen and try again [06:11] nickrud: i'm not even sure what that is... (sorry!) [06:12] afabian, enpty directory [06:12] jalathan: so how do i install the puppy then? neither clicking the exe nor using the cd works [06:12] House_Blend_Pete seems to be an auto-spam bot, can someone remove him? [06:12] genii, how did you figure out that location? [06:12] n-iCe: can you do cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config and paste it into a pastebin for me [06:12] simplechat: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/111494 ... here's the bug where it's suggested that proper logging should happen. urgh. it's really unacceptable for a tool like this not to produce logs. [06:12] no im not [06:12] Launchpad bug 111494 in update-manager "Display a log of updates performed" [Undecided,New] [06:12] it worked fine, from the moment i installed ubuntu. all of a sudden, nothing [06:12] nano: I had to modify it before [06:13] House_Blend_Pete, Then please turn off your auto-msg scripts. [06:13] genii, so u searched online for it or somethign? [06:13] nano: Originally yes [06:13] Flannel: howmany=all worked. Booting into 16 now. [06:13] sure rampageoberon [06:13] genii, thnx man [06:13] nano: np [06:13] Renate: the driver is contained within the linux kernel or as a module addon for the kernel, so window's drivers for a device do not work under linux. [06:13] afabian, hmmm, if its written in python, next time i have a minute i'll patch it [06:13] nickrud: i don't think so tho [06:13] but yeah [06:13] nobi-san you have us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com in your sources (the file you showed me) which resolves to something in the 91.189.88.xx range, but you are trying to get stuff from 30.0.1.4 . That's your problem, and that implies something is redirecting your fetches. Why, I don't know then [06:13] atm i'd much prefer a working computer :) [06:14] even if its just push packages and reinstall [06:14] Renate: i'm going to see if i can find something to help you with on this [06:14] ok... but the driver manager thing doesn't have the right keybd/mouse set listed. yet it worked fine for months [06:14] simplechat: Well, there's one option that comes to mind... [06:14] jalathan: ^^^ [06:14] can anyone tell me how to change my header file search path? [06:14] House_Blend_Pete: which program are you using? [06:14] im not using any program [06:14] simplechat: I've never done this. I *think* it should work. It's a little risky. You .. might want to back up your entire system. Heh. [06:14] genii: that did not seem to correct it and i cannot find an option to display in a wide mode [06:14] Renate: hrm, ok. [06:14] House_Blend_Pete: but surely you are on irc? [06:15] nickrud: would upgrading to the newest ubuntu help? i should be getting the cd soon [06:15] eido: It just auto-adjusts to the width of your terminal screen. [06:15] Renate: have you tried using an earlier kernel? [06:15] Flannel: Argh, eth1 doesn't show up _at all_ in -16 kernel. [06:15] jalathan: it the remote receiver flashes on startup, going thru the bios, then when it hits linux, it's dead [06:15] hello. im trying to install 8.04 via the amd64 alt cd. when i try to install or even check cd for defects i end up with this error "your installation cd-rom couldnt be mounted ... try to mount cd-rom?" i enter yes... and it just gives me the same error again. i have downloaded the iso from two different mirrors and still no success. any ideas/tips? adding all-generic-ide to the boot args didnt solve the problem [06:15] Realtek AC97 Audio not installed any help? [06:15] jalathan: (n00b, remember?) as in how would i do that? [06:15] nobi-san might. But if the net you're working on has a redirect, I'm not sure it would help. If for some reason the redirect is in your system, a fresh install would replace it [06:16] rampageoberon, http://www.nice.pastebin.com/m4d58df0 [06:16] House_Blend_Pete: which irc client are you using? [06:16] Renate: sorry... [06:16] mirc [06:16] simplechat: Remove hardy-updates from /etc/apt/sources.list ... update your sources, and make some package tool (I'm starting to trust aptitude more than synaptic) for downgrades all around. Since they were just patched versions of the same packages, nothing should really break, unless something crazy happens with the package tools. I'm not.. ah, necessarily *advising* this... hah. [06:16] House_Blend_Pete: run a virus software [06:16] genii: what if i am ssh is the width determined by the host? [06:16] nobi-san I'm not real good with http_proxies either, I've never used one. Just know what they are [06:16] House_Blend_Pete: scan your whole computer [06:16] can anyone tell me how to change my header file search path? [06:16] simplechat: force downgrades, that is. [06:16] i'm trying ot use handbrake for hte first time, using the preset "Normal", and when I try to rip my DVD, only the first title is ripped... how do I get it to do all of the titles? [06:16] hi. i have a dependency problem with libgtk2.0-dev. it asks for libgtk2.0-0 version 2.12.9-3ubuntu4, and i have 2.12.0-4ubuntu3 (because of global menu i think), is there a way to reinstall the proper library? [06:17] House_Blend_Pete: eek, mirc? you might have something heh... [06:17] Wow, room full of experts and not and no one can help me. [06:17] eido: Perhaps direct output to a file and look at that [06:17] n-iCe: do sudo mkdir /var/empty [06:17] I am completely and utterly shocked [06:17] Renate: ok, whay you do is restart, press ESC to enter GRUB... [06:17] darth: yes rc.local is 755 [06:17] n-iCe: and then do sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [06:17] nickrud: sounds good to me... wish me luck! thanks for the help! night [06:17] Parker1 sound experts are few and far between [06:17] n-iCe: and see if that works [06:17] Parker1: unfortinately, not everyone has expertice with sound cards [06:17] jalathan: ok' [06:18] Renate: this will present you with a list of options. there should be a kernel listed something like... [06:18] House_Blend_Pete: sorry, but I'll have to remove you from the channel, we can't have you messaging people around. Feel free to /msg me and when you're sure that you're not infected, join #ubuntu-ops. Thanks. [06:18] It's just a hardware device. I just need to Ubuntu to recognize it. I can do the rest after. [06:18] rampageoberon, ok [06:18] House_Blend_Pete: of course you can leave by yourself too [06:19] Flannel: Odd, I did sudo reboot to try out -17 and see if eth1 showed up for that. It shut down, screen went black, the power LED and battery-is-charging LED are both on but it's nto booting up. [06:19] Renate: Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [06:19] genii: no > has the same output as is displayed onscreen [06:19] eido: If you just need user list maybe do who -u it line-wraps on terminals [06:19] Flannel: I saw similar behavior before, when I was trying to run under an earlier kernel. [06:20] jalathan: have seen that before. list of several of them. pick a one lower on the list? [06:20] Hi. Anyone know how to get apt / dpkg to install (track) source code - so that it's part of the package management database ? [06:20] *sigh* there are days when i wonder WHY i EVER installed linux [06:20] Renate: yeah... [06:20] joanki123: why ? [06:20] genii: -u doesn't seem to correct this either, i tried all the options listed in man [06:20] jalathan: kk. will try that. thanks [06:20] Flannel: In the past, it felt hot,s o I powered down and let it cool down for a while. When I started it later, it booted normally. [06:20] Hey I just installed ubuntu a few hours ago and keep it on freezing on me randomly. 1st when I tried to play a movie using gxine. 2nd when I was shutting down. 3rd when I was trying to save a .mp3 to my computer. Is this normal or any ideas? [06:20] Renate: just choose the one that ends with one number lower that the highest [06:20] Kubuntu_, i can't get stupid basic things to work [06:20] everything is a mystery [06:20] jalathan: got it (hopefully) [06:21] eido: Try users [06:21] it takes 10x as long to do anything new [06:21] Renate: gl [06:21] joanki123: Yeah ? like what ? [06:21] like change my header file search path? === kompi01 is now known as gase [06:21] n-iCe: any luck? [06:21] like get my stupid program to compile [06:21] hi [06:21] genii: that works. i was curious as to why w doesn't but ty [06:21] eido: np [06:22] Any ideas on the freezes? [06:22] joanki123 'new' is the operative word here, soon it won't be new ;) [06:22] Flannel: Okay, I"m going to let it cool off and try again later. Thanks for the help. [06:22] genii: i wanted to redirect the output into a clean file with the users but i guess i will have to cut and paste [06:22] Renate: the highest on would likely end in -18, the one that's numbered -17 would be the one that i'm thinking for test [06:22] new, nickrud, as in new to me === kompi01 is now known as indah [06:22] *one [06:22] thirty hours just to compile a progrma that takes one flick of a switch off of dev C++ [06:22] and it STILL won't compile! [06:22] eido: use &> to redirect to file [06:23] jalathan: thank you [06:23] i'm turning into an alcoholic [06:23] eido: that will redirect stderr and stdout [06:23] over this darned linux business [06:23] and a bit suicidal, might i add [06:23] !offtopic | joanki123 [06:23] joanki123 that's what I meant.

I have found several threads on the forums which address and fix each specific issue but some of the posts are a month old and I was wondering if there was a general fix or if I am going to have to do it all one step at a time. Does anyone have/know if there is a fix for this tablet? [06:35] simplechat: A crash of of the X server. But, if you're having a reboot, ... the kernel was updated recently. Are you running hardy? [06:35] will Wubi install off of a CD? [06:35] I dunno if you guys can help me, but I keep getting "[errno 2] No such file or directory" error every time I try to install Ubuntu.

I'd look at the end and see if there are any problems reported. Also, some old logs from before the update might be around. [06:36] simplechat it realy sounds like a cpu fan [06:36] its changing the gpu clock frequency [06:36] i'm trying to use handbrake for the first time..

[06:37] try letting it run all the way through [06:38] I waited over an hour. [06:38] simplechat: Yes, you'd want to look toward the end, where errors are likely to occur... possibly grep through it for (WW) warnings, (EE) errors, .. it tags lines, because there's a lot of information. [06:38] hmm [06:38] when does the error occur during instalation? [06:38] 25% [06:38] installation* [06:39] (WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3) ? [06:39] My computer doesnt have an in built CD-ROM so it's connected over USB, if that helps. [06:39] then theres a whole lot of (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x72 (with the last number changing) [06:39] I'm thinking of trying a live usb install, IDK if that will workj though.

X does a lot of stuff and warnings are pretty routine. You should probably look for a "good" run with a date from before the update, and compare it with a run from after the update, and see if there were any changes. [06:41] afabian i'm not sure what that is [06:41] its been randomly rebooting for quite awhile [06:41] . /home on a SDHC card, 3.7GB '/' on inbuilt flash, with 270mb swap.

[06:42] which is what i'm booting from now [06:42] oxeimon, yes [06:42] yes [06:42] simplechat: Well, you said it's not rebooting, just that the screen is blanking. Reboot is pretty different than X crashing. [06:42] is it failing during the partitioning or the isntallation itself? [06:42] But the thing is... [06:42] It works well on gutsy [06:42] fails with hardy [06:42] afabian, sorry, i'm used to calling them reboots because i have to. unresponcive to keyboard and mouse [06:42] does a/ represent your root folder [06:42] I tried linux mint, also works [06:42] but yeah, they just lock up [06:42] you could do a kernel upgrade from gusty to hardy [06:42] yes simplechat [06:43] dasmaze, yes?

[07:10] hey i need help, i am trying to install cedega .deb but it wont let me, says another software management tool is in use...but nothing is open how do i find what is open and how do i close it [07:10] jalathan, mplayer-mozilla , yep [07:10] bazhang, i reinstalled easybcd but the easybcd menu nor grub appears on boot... it boots straight into vista [07:10] simplechat: does apt-get do that? I always use the "aptitude" command. But, yeah, .. maybe. [07:10] SurenS, sounds like you may need to reinstall grub [07:11] simplechat, did you get an answer to your question about finding out what's installed on a foreign install's media? [07:11] heh [07:11] JoshGr : do you know what it might be waiting on? [07:11] sauvin, chroot into the directory, then dpkg [07:11] i do not know [07:11] JoshGr : try: lsof -p pid [07:11] where pid is the process id [07:11] Alan_M. I get a pop up and then it closes [07:11] B_166-ER-X: did you assign all of the needed associations through the plugin? [07:11] afabian, dpkg -l has no newlines [07:11] bazhang, but there are other issues as well. when i recovered vista, my second (DATA) partition was 'corrupt and unreadable'. So i backed up files and formatted it. but now gparted does not show my partitions, only fdisk does [07:11] Oh. Yea, that might even work. I found the following file: /var/lib/dpkg/status [07:11] ubuntuRULES, post a screenshot [07:12] I don't know how [07:12] jalathan, by that you mean.. ? where ?

[07:15] hello, can anyone help me with wine? i seemed to gave uninstalled it and when i reinstall it .wine folder isnt created and my settings are still there. [07:15] be back sometime [07:15] SurenS, it does not even seem to exist anymore [07:16] bazhang, here is an annotated paste [07:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18969/ [07:17] /dev/sda5 is my ubuntu partition [07:17] So how would I find the device name of the SD? [07:17] bazhang, using the livecd, i can still access /dev/sda2, sda3 and sda5, and the files contained in each of them [07:18] SurenS, what does creating a new user do. [07:18] if i just installed a new pci wireless card what do i have todo? [07:18] so everything is still there, but gparted refuses to accept this, and i can no longer boot to ubuntu as easybcd menu does not work [07:18] i was told to update my kernel :/ [07:18] bazhang, what do you mean? creating a new user in ubuntu? im currently using the livecd === hotpocket is now known as rogerdpenguin [07:18] After a restart bash history in a GNOME terminal prints some entries in the format cd "`echo -e '\0057home\0057detlef\0057gnome\0057gnome\0055volume\0055manager\0055\0062\0056\0062\0062\0056\0061'`" instead of the format 'cd /home/detlef/gnome/gnome-volume-manager-2.22.1'. Is this a bug or a feature? [07:19] bazhang, and do i have to fix this error? "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." [07:19] SurenS, that is serious if right [07:19] prakriti: the only thing in /var/log/messages around that type is Jun 9 16:24:43 josh-laptop -- MARK -- (actually a few of those) [07:19] around that time* [07:20] bazhang, are you referring to the cylinder boundary issue? [07:20] and if so, how can i fix that? any easy method? [07:20] SurenS, yes [07:20] What do I type in terminal to find the mount points and device names? [07:20] dasukips: mount [07:21] bazhang, ok, well i have backed up /dev/sda(3 and 5). i can delete any partitions other than /dev/sda1 and 2 [07:21] Dasukips? [07:21] wow, memes. [07:21] lol [07:21] bazhang, so is it fixable without losing data on my /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 partitions? [07:22] i have never been unable to kill a process before this is a new experience [07:22] SurenS, the partition boundary is on first partition though right? [07:22] B_166-ER-X: sorry, xserver just crashed [07:22] np [07:22] bazhang, sorry, im not sure what that means? :S [07:22] what's the linux equivalent of a the "tracert" windows command to see which servers does a connection to a site passes through? [07:22] what is the partition boundary? [07:23] SurenS, sorry the cylinder boundary [07:23] bazhang, the cylinder boundary (i think) exists between partition 1 and 2, yes. [07:23] when you report a bug on launchpad does it show up right away? i wonder if my bug didn't get reported correctly..... [07:23] frank23, trace [07:23] feld, yes it does [07:24] bazhang, the notification appears between /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, yes [07:24] anto, I suppose that was for me, thanks [07:24] SurenS, what is on partition 2 [07:24] lut4rp: ok. well i'll report again. I also fixed the bug. YAY. [07:24] vista [07:24] bazhang, vista [07:24] B_166-ER-X: ok... [07:25] "command not found" [07:25] SurenS, I dont know enough about how vista 'repairs' things to give advice on that; since you have backed up all your linux stuff at least that is safe. [07:25] B_166-ER-X: open up nautilus [07:25] done [07:25] goto ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [07:25] I found a web page about it, thanks anyway [07:25] k [07:25] just run upgrade on hardy, these packages got upgraded: http://pastebin.com/m22de8432 exactly which one of them requires a reboot?

[07:37] nekostar, no I can't get into any desktop except terminal or i can boot in "safe Graphics" off the CD [07:37] bazhang, vista did not boot for a while, then i recovered it using the recovery partition, but that somehow screwed up the other partitions [07:37] oh [07:37] so you can get in the tty's but you cannot get into the gui then. [07:37] bazhang, btw atm i am running testdisk and trying to recover any lost partitions that might be out there :S [07:37] allow [07:37] were you ever able to?

[07:37] :[ [07:38] Chrasange no big deal we got cha covered [07:38] SurenS, my first bit of advice is to ask in the windows channel about that partitioning issue; we can deal with the backing up of ubuntu stuff after that [07:38] ah [07:38] UbuntuNoob760 did you check google? [07:38] hi, i want to connect to a motorola phone with a usb cable , i set the phone to be seen as a removable disk but nothing happens in my kubuntu hardy when i lug it in.

[07:39] thnx nekostar [07:39] I'm trying to boot an xp pro cd to re-install windows, however GRUB keeps ignoring me when I hit, mash, tap, or type any key to continue booting the cd. This is only with windows cds I might add, knoppix and the ubuntu one work fine. [07:39] ill have a look [07:39] and that link didnt work Chrasange lol [07:40] hm [07:40] I know [07:40] XD [07:40] ok we need to get your desktop working here... [07:40] are you on that computer now? [07:40] yes yes [07:40] anyone? [07:40] yeah, I'll be back in a sec, i'm gonna switch pc's [07:40] alkem258, what does this have to with ubuntu [07:40] Chrasange === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:40] install irssi in the computer in question [07:40] you have 6 consoles [07:40] bazhang, yep, to recover using the asus recovery partition. and that worked fine. vista was back to the state it was in when i got the laptop. but my second (data) partition was unreadable by windows (but readable by the ubuntu livecd), and reinstalling easybcd refuses to allow me to boot ubuntu :( [07:40] so you can run that in one and do stuff in the others ;) [07:41] when you run it format is as follows: irssi [07:41] bazhang: grub won't let me boot. I want to get rid of ubunt, or let it run xp. [07:41] SurenS, easybcd being a windows program? [07:41] it loads//// /server irc.freenode.net [07:41] when u connect just /join #ubuntu [07:41] alkem258, then delete the partition [07:41] question : how to set ubuntu booting up with num lock enabled ? [07:41] bazang: how, it won't let me boot the xp pro cd to do that [07:41] alkem258 put in windows disk, go to recovery, type fixboot [07:41] bazhang, yes, it modified the vista bootloader and adds an entry that, when selected, runs grub from the (hd0,4) partition and then grub boots me into ubuntu [07:42] should put the windows boot back in [07:42] but that no longer works :| [07:42] assuming you didnt move or wipe out windows [07:42] vista?? [07:42] alkem258, just change the boot order in your bios [07:42] nekostar: it won't boot the xp pro cd full stop [07:42] on to my next question.... [07:42] jalathan, find something ?

[07:43] nekostar, I pm'd you [07:44] bazahng as it is ubuntu's GRUB that is preventing me from doing anything, then i figure this is a ubuntu question [07:44] SurenS, sorry but this seems to be a vista issue; will help with ubuntu stuff when you get that sorted. [07:44] Anyone know much about mac4lin conversion? [07:44] what's the package name if i want to install glib? [07:44] bazhang, i understand about the issue being with easybcd, i.e. that is what is not leting me boot into ubuntu. but my main issue is with the partitions. that is, there appears to be wrong number of cylinders and the like, which i only know how to fix from ubuntu, not vista.

[07:46] so how can i install/reinstall grub? [07:46] !grub | SurenS [07:46] SurenS: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:46] SurenS: first link [07:46] I fail to see what that'll achieve, except show that ubuntu is on my hdd [07:46] Chrasange first [07:46] we ask before we pm [07:46] Hello... again. :) Anybody have any clue how to watch the apple keynote using quicktime? http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html VLC doesnt give any sound on the playback.

[07:47] jalathan !?? [07:47] yes? [07:48] i'm not sure to follow [07:48] are you using 2.x? [07:48] firefox ? [07:49] simi, fdisk doesn't show phones [07:49] yes, sorry [07:49] simi, try plugging in the phone and running: dmesg|tail [07:49] 2.0.0.14 [07:49] that should tell you what's going on with with usb [07:49] kk [07:49] i just found out, firefox is out of beta, does anyone know if the crashing on flash sites fixed [07:50] ehi people go here and pledge everybody... for firefox.... [07:50] question : how to set ubuntu booting up with num lock enabled ? [07:50] microwaver, you might wish to try numlockx [07:50] how do i include windows to my boot up [07:51] i have 2 sata harddisk [07:51] microwaver, google: ubuntu numlock [07:51] 1 is for my ubuntu and the other one is for windows [07:51] * Jalathan feels stupid [07:51] i was using the 7.04 livecd... <.<;; [07:51] how do i include the windows from the other disk to my grub.menu list [07:51] hrm... [07:52] trid editing it but i dont know the correct parameters to use [07:52] rabelais, thanks. did you ever hear of fluxbuntu? [07:52] rabelais: i tried lsusb and what you said :http://pastebin.com/m3f54587d [07:54] fluxbuntu? [07:54] microwaver yeah ive heard of that [07:54] like fluxbox? [07:54] ehi people go here and pledge everybody... for firefox.... http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord [07:54] its like ubuntuetc but with flux yeh [07:54] microwaver, no, but I'm guessing it's fluxbox === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [07:54] gnnarin, dont paste that here please [07:54] i distrod their torrents for a while [07:55] simi, it looks like linux doesn't like your phone [07:55] simi, what are you trying to do? [07:55] how to disable the annoying pop sound when gnome displays pop up messages ?? [07:56] simi, can you paste the dmesg|tail -n 50 also? [07:56] nekostar, rabelais what's the difference between the main distribution adn fluxbuntu? [07:56] first [07:56] its not offically supported.. not that that means anything [07:56] microwaver, probably that it uses fluxbox instead of gnome? [07:56] its just supposed to be lighter than even xfce [xubuntu] [07:57] it does use fluxbox............ [07:57] i get an error when installing a firefox addon [07:57] and ive used it its decent [07:57] ok, back. Yes it boots with no harddrive, but that doesn't help me when i want to install it to a harddrive [07:57] I love fluxbox, I use it on my workstation [07:57] rabelais: next idea? [07:57] alkem258, did it boot? [07:57] * Jalathan prefers blackbox, even though it's depricated [07:58] how do i edit my source.list [07:58] whats the path [07:58] rabelais: Yup [07:58] rabelais: then told me there was no harddrive, which I kinda knew [07:58] alkem258, plug your hard drive back in, and set only the cd drive as a boot device, and turn off the option to "boot any additional devices" [07:58] rabelais, stop being so obviously obvious and smart :) [07:59] rabelais: ok [07:59] microwaver: sup? [07:59] microwaver, when you ask an obvious question.... [07:59] rabelais: http://pastebin.com/m17285c40, i want to upload mp3 to it and i want to upload from kubuntu not from xp [07:59] |sources.list [07:59] rabelais, alkem258 how about going to a temp channel #rabelais for this windows discussion thanks [07:59] magnetron, Can I help you dutchy:) [07:59] hey i'm new here [08:00] can i try to mount it manualy? how? [08:00] Another question, does ubuntu come standard with Nautilus? [08:00] i cant install my firefox addons, help [08:00] rabelais, windows related support is blocking my mind :) [08:00] help please [08:00] kidbuntu, /etc/apt/sources.list [08:00] bazhang: can you help me please.. i [08:00] connor: which version of firefox do u have? [08:00] ok B_166-ER-X, i'm currently updating FF, and installing the plugin so that you can amend the file [08:00] 3 [08:00] chill guys...you don't know that this is necessarily a windows problem...maybe something funky is going on with grub [08:00] and 2 wont work either [08:01] 3 wont work with the nightly tester tools for my addons =/ [08:01] rabelais, that was a polite suggestion; please heed it. [08:01] even though on my previous install they worked [08:01] bazhang: can you help me please.. ive already opened that.. the problem is.. i'm trying to install xmms or beep and other stuffs [08:01] when I start the Terminal Server Client, VNC is grayed out. how do I install packages for it? [08:01] bazhang: i cant download any through terminal [08:01] ok [08:02] kidbuntu: are you using sudo apt-get install? [08:02] kidbuntu, this is hardy? xmms is no longer around [08:02] connor: yes [08:02] hmm [08:02] is anyone else having a problem getting laptops to connect to wireless networks if they check the "show password" box? [08:02] Wolvenhaven, which wireless card you use? [08:02] bazhang: and what should you recommend.. the last time i used ubuntu was back at 7.04 [08:03] i got an intel pro wireless 3945 and it works fine [08:03] kidbuntu, this is hardy? [08:03] evenn with show password [08:03] even* [08:03] simi, have you been plugging it and unplugging it from the computer a lot? [08:03] justme: i can connect if i type the password in when it shows asterix, but if i click "show password" it just tries to connect and then times out [08:03] bazhang: what about hardy? [08:03] <[chr0n0s]> hi, where do i display the temperature of the cpu's from /proc/ ? [08:03] Wolvenhaven, strang [08:03] e [08:03] simi, or has it just been plugged in constantly? [08:03] kidbuntu, what version of ubuntu you on now [08:04] yea, thats what i was thinking, im running 64bit 8.04-18 [08:04] i use 32 bit [08:04] ^^ [08:04] simi, and by a lot, I mean like....20/30 times [08:04] bazhang: hardy i supposed. 8.04. what is hardy meant for [08:04] for some reason 64bit has less bugs on the tx2000z tablet [08:04] kidbuntu, get audacious as xmms no longer is there [08:05] bazhang.. i'll take your advice.. uhmm how about amarok [08:05] Wolvenhaven, well as long as it works with "show password" not checked it is fine, isn't it ? [08:05] rabelais: only a few times in kubuntu, i tried moto4lin to connect to it [08:05] kidbuntu, it will work fine with gnome [08:05] when I start the Terminal Server Client, VNC is grayed out. how do I install packages for it? [08:05] simi, there's a usb fault problem with the device [08:05] well it connected to the router, but its not actually getting anything [08:05] simi, you're getting a million I/O errors on the device [08:06] rabelais: should i try again in XP? [08:06] Kartagis: do you have the package vnc-common installed? [08:06] simi, for some reason, it does not want to play nice with the linux usb mass storage module [08:07] simi, I would recommend yes...I'd be curious to know if windows can make it work... [08:07] simi, because as it appears here, it looks somewhat broken [08:07] justme: its not just that apparently, i cant get outside connections, :( [08:07] Trying to get USB bluetooth dongle to work. I don't exactly know what to do, but I have these leads: running "bluetooth-aplet" gets this output: Bluetooth OBEX server failed: Bluez DBus interface not available [08:07] no wlan connection? [08:07] Bluetooth FTP server failed: Bluez DBus interface not available ||| And, this- "lsusb" shows "Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0a5c:2033 Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth", but "hcitool dev" shows nothing. [08:08] Wolvenhaven, which wireless card? [08:08] i got it connected, and its showing up on the router, but the packets arent coming in [08:08] Jalathan: do I need that one? [08:08] whats the command to check? lrcps? [08:08] Kartagis: it might be your issue [08:08] After a restart my bash history in a GNOME terminal prints some entries in the format cd "`echo -e '\0057home\0057detlef\0057gnome\0057gnome\0055volume\0055manager\0055\0062\0056\0062\0062\0056\0061'`" instead of the format 'cd /home/detlef/gnome/gnome-volume-manager-2.22.1'. Is this a bug or a feature? [08:08] bullgard4, bug xD [08:08] kajo_, have you installed bluez-firmware? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [08:09] justme: right. [08:09] Jalathan: still grayed out [08:09] Wolvenhaven, !? [08:09] which wlan device ??? [08:09] i cant remember the command to check [08:09] rabelais, I haven't heard of that package, nor does aptitude find it. [08:09] bullgard4, we aren't Microshit ^^ [08:09] its lrcps or something close to that [08:09] justme, no cursing please [08:09] we tell it's abug and dont try to sell it as a feature :S [08:09] B_166-ER-X: how did you obtain the mplayer plugin? [08:09] bazhang, sry [08:09] ;) [08:10] Wolvenhaven, [08:10] Wolvenhaven, lspci [08:10] lspci [08:10] -.- [08:10] ^^ [08:10] just remembered it lol [08:10] sorry [08:10] bazhang, one second too fast [08:10] :< [08:10] B_166-ER-X: i can't find it in the gutsy repos [08:10] broadcom bcm4310 usb controller (rev 01) [08:10] Ubuntu been acting up lately...firefox flash stopped working for no reason but worked before,,,now ican't even open up folders [08:10] What GNOME mailing list is to be recommended? [08:10] oha [08:10] usb? [08:10] igor: try using an older kernel version [08:11] Something installed a proxy or something. Synaptic is broken (talking about "could not connect to localhost:4001"). How to fix this problem, or find the proxy and kill it? [08:11] It worked fine all up until now [08:11] rabelais, I don't see it in sunaptic, either. [08:11] synaptic* [08:11] mozilla-mplayer (version 3.40-5ubuntu5) [08:11] I'm using Hardy and have been using it since release [08:11] kajo_, I got the package name wrong [08:11] it has worked in the other kernels(from the forums people have ndiswrappered it) but -17 and -18 got a driver for it [08:11] Wolvenhaven, [08:11] try this [08:11] http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntuusers.de%2FWLAN%2FBroadcom_bcm43xx&hl=de&ie=UTF8&sl=de&tl=en [08:12] kajo_, I think you just need the bluetooth firmware package, but I don't know what it's called [08:12] I think I have it, whatever it is. I'll just search for 'bluetooth' in synaptic, I guess. [08:12] it's just translated by google but it should be readable if you use your brain^^ [08:12] kajo_, do you have bluez-utils installed? [08:13] whats this channel about? [08:13] justme: then why would the new update have a driver for it if it doesnt work? [08:14] Petrucci: it's a support channel for the Ubuntu linux distribution [08:14] Wolvenhaven, dont ask me [08:14] i want a channel for PC overclocking [08:14] any on this server? [08:14] I am not involved in it anyway [08:14] Petrucci: #hardware [08:14] Petrucci: Topic for #ubuntu: Official Ubuntu Support Channel [08:14] Anyone know what characters these are? F����h R����u���� [08:14] hehe, iwconfig shows eth1 as connected [08:14] it appears to be a "?" inside of a diamond. [08:14] jalathan i thought mplayer-plugin was the same thing then mozilla-mplayer [08:15] unicode? [08:15] anyone know any MIRC servers specifically rellated to computer overclocking and computer guru's? [08:15] Wolvenhaven, try the thingie with ndiswrapper [08:15] B_166-ER-X: my gutsy repos aren [08:15] hello [08:15] petrucci [08:15] try guessing keywords [08:15] like [08:15] n't showing even mplayer [08:15] hardware [08:15] Manacim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:15] or computer [08:15] rabelais, yes, I have bluez utils. [08:15] manacim i joined hardware [08:15] any1 knows everytime i burn linux it gives me md5 hash checking error and wont read cd? [08:16] justme: i found the problem, it installed two wireless drivers and is trying to use both of them, im going to turn one off and reboot the laptop and try that [08:16] garrett__: I guess you will need another character encoding scheme. May be you need UTF-8. [08:16] Sorry I took so long, aptitude keeps trying to downgrade something, and it finally did on accident, which honestly has me a bit pissed (stray keystroke on an unwanted warning) [08:16] Wolvenhaven, ^^ [08:16] no help? [08:16] Insurrecto: you might want to check the iso itself [08:16] how can i know the correct md5? [08:16] kajo_, do this: "updatedb" and then "locate BCM2033" [08:17] bullgard4: it's popping up in some tcl (tcl8.5, which supports unicode..) so i'm just confused as to where it's coming from. [08:17] bullgard4: but i'm having a rough time figuring that bit out :P [08:17] B_166-ER-X: i forgot to check the multiverse, sry [08:17] rabelais, the second line does nothing. [08:17] Just brings me a new prompt. [08:18] kajo_, apologies...you need to do these all in one prompt === _Danners is now known as Danners [08:18] kajo_, you have to wait until the first one is done === max221 is now known as max` [08:18] kajo_, and you have to do the first one with sudo: sudo updatedb === mneptok_ is now known as mneptok [08:18] kajo@littleboy:~/Pictures$ sudo updatedb locate BCM2033 [08:18] updatedb: unexpected operand on command line [08:19] er--there we go--0x8D.. which is dingbats? wtf. :| [08:19] @ rabelais [08:19] Insurrecto: here are the hashes :http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/MD5SUMS [08:19] B_166-ER-X: am installing it [08:19] garrett__: I believe that the program (tcl?) which produced the string is okay but your program which reads it does display it wrongly due to a wrong decoding scheme. [08:19] Insurrecto: one min here for the howto [08:20] bullgard4: good point. i'll try a different viewer. [08:20] kajo_, they are two commands [08:20] kajo_, sudo updatedb [08:20] Insurrecto: wait, got the wrong one [08:20] then how do I run them on one line?? [08:20] kajo_, and when that is done, do locate BCM2033 [08:20] kajo_, you don't run them on one line [08:20] kajo_, or, if you insist on running them in one line, you can put a semicolon in between updatedb and locate [08:20] rabelais, isn't that what you just told me to do? I ran them seperately before, and the second one did nothing... [08:21] rabelais: in XP my phone works [08:21] you said all in one prompt, to me that means all in one line. I did them all in the same window, if that's what you mean. I ran one, and then the other. [08:21] kajo_, apologies, I must have misunderstood, did updatedb complete before you ran locate? [08:21] why there are so many updates lately? [08:21] rabelais, yes. [08:21] jalathan i REALLY have to go to sleep. sun is close... but i'll be back , i want to finish this ! [08:22] thankx for all [08:22] simi, are you plugging the phone directly into the computer? or through a usb hub or some sort? [08:22] kajo_, ok, then you are missing the BCM firmware for that device [08:22] B_166-ER-X: sorry, i'm heading off to bed soon myself [08:22] rabelais: directly, in the usb port [08:22] rabelais, I have never heard of "BCM", don't know what you mean. Is that easily remedied? Can I just get that with aptitude? [08:22] B_166-ER-X: do you have a forum id? [08:23] bullgard4: newp. using a unicode-supported client, but at least now I get "?" [08:23] you can pm it [08:23] How do i update the locate database? [08:23] kajo_, I believe you can get them from the bluez website...BCM is broadcom, you need firmware files to get this to work [08:23] simi, are there any other usb ports you can try putting them into? [08:23] rabelais: can be manualy be mounted? i belive that the fash card has bad sectors [08:23] rabelais, what do I need firmware files for? Shouldn't the firmware already be on the bluetooth dongle itself? [08:24] Jck_true: sudo updatedb [08:24] simi, if it is detected by your system...it can be, at the moment it appears that it cannot be mounted because linux is not detecting the device properly [08:24] legend2440: Need to write that down... Can't remember it [08:25] kajo_, broadcom bluetooth devices require firmware files to be loaded at every use [08:25] rabelais: ausb shows this:Bus 002 Device 002: ID 22b8:4810 Motorola PCS Triplet GSM Phone (storage) [08:25] rabelais, are you sure my device is a broadcom device? I don't understand exactly what the problem is, or how this architecture works. [08:26] garrett__: My GNOME terminal in the past displayed a similar output as yours when my GNOME terminal was set to wrong character decoding scheme instead of the correct UTF-8 decoding scheme. === ari_stre1s is now known as ari_stress [08:26] simi, yes...this is true, but the dmesg output shows that the device is not being detected as a usb mass storage device properly, I do not know why that is happening [08:27] kajo_, you said you had a BCM2033 bluetooth device, if that is the case, then it is a broadcom device [08:27] Hi. Could somebody help me with this problem? I'm trying to get RTC alarm to work. However, It doesn't seem like /sys/class/rtc exists. Is xubuntu 8.04 compiled without support for realtime clock? [08:27] kajo_, download http://bluez.sf.net/download/bluez-firmware-1.2.tar.gz [08:27] rabelais, ah. I did not understand my own output, I was just trying various troubleshooting things without knowing what I was doing. [08:27] rabelais: if the memory card has bad sectors can explain this? [08:27] kajo_, and extract the files (ending with .hex .bin, etc) into the /lib/firmware directory [08:27] what is the command to download a web adress? [08:28] kajo, wget [08:28] rabelais, thanks [08:28] simi, no, bad sectors wouldn't cause this to break at the hardware level [08:28] Hi. I'm currently having difficulties setting up rDNS using bind9 on ubuntu 8.04. I can post required zone files etc on request. [08:28] bullgard4: gnometerm's set to utf-8 :\ [08:29] simi, I have had problems like this before, but they are usually a result of a bad usb hub sitting in between me and the computer, or a very poor card reader, or something like that [08:29] rabelais: who made the program that connects to the device , maybe is a bug and i should tell them, in windows it works and XP is 7 years old [08:29] "zone XXX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from master file /etc/bind/zones/rev.XXX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa failed: unexpected end of input" is the current error I am receiving. [08:30] simi, it is possible that it just won't work in linux...there are some usb mass storage devices that aren't written to protocol properly and only run in windows [08:31] simi, you can report it to the maintainers of the usb-uhci and usb mass storage modules...I don't know exactly where the problem lies among those two, I'd guess usb mass storage [08:31] garrett__: I cannot help you specifically. My general advice would be to investigate if the programs interface with the correct encoding/decoding schemes. [08:31] rabelais, so all I had to do was extract the .bin & .hex to /lib/firmware, right? [08:32] rabelais: no, some people succed to connect to this device using moto4lin, but it do not worked for me [08:32] rabelais: thx [08:32] bullgard4: just found this "It follows from this that bytes in UTF-8 encoding fall in distinct ranges:" "80..BF - non-initial bytes of multibyte code [08:32] " [08:32] bullgard4: the questionmark in a diamond falls in that range [08:32] simi, I would suggest you ask the moto4lin people, sometimes different distributions have weird problems with hotplug/loading modules etc.... [08:33] bullgard4: so i think you're right; there's some weirdness going on in this tcl which is generating characters outside of utf-8 maybe [08:33] simi, chances are it can actually work, but I don't know what the proper tweaks would be to make it work [08:33] kajo_, yes, I believe so...I didn't look to see if there were any other files that needed to be there, but I think those are the only ones you need [08:34] rabelais, so now what? [08:34] bullgard4: er--disregard. my font made that look like "fail" not "fall" :| *sheepishly goes back to screwing with is termtype* [08:34] B_166-ER-X: ok, i pastebin'ed the the basic version of the dat file (@ ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat): http://paste.ubuntu.com/18977/ | here's my current 3.x version: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18974/ | [08:34] my computer freezes semi-regularly and the only way I can get out of it is alt-sysreq-rseiub, because nothing else does anything at all, the cursor moves around but absolutely nothing can be clicked on, does anyone know what might be causing it? [08:34] bullgard4: thanks for your advice, though [08:34] garrett__: So I wish you good luck to find another person more knowledgeable to help you in this specific respect. [08:34] kajo_, it's a usb bluetooth device, yes? [08:35] rabelais, yes. [08:35] rabelais: thx for your time [08:35] kajo_, unplug and plug it back in, and cross your fingers [08:35] simi, you're welcome, good luck [08:35] B_166-ER-X: i'd recommend making a copy of the original file before messing around with the updated version [08:37] System > Einstellungen > Audio (Audio-Einstellungen) (Klangereignisse) > Audiowiedergabe:ALSA): Wenn ich 'Test' klicke, erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung "audiotestsrc wave=sine ...

[08:40] yeah [08:40] Dark_Shadow: now you should remove the gnash package and restart firefox. [08:41] rabelais, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18979/ [08:41] guys, i just installed Kubuntu on my laptop, any idea if the SATA HDD killer bug still exists in it?? [08:41] how to remove it?

[08:42] How do I open files and directories in Nautilus as root? [08:42] no [08:42] I can't seem to find a sudo function for the file browser, which is irritating because icecast2 has somehow put /etc/icecast2/ as inaccessible.

[08:42] i installed flash from firefox [08:42] Andreus: sorry, I meant gksudo nautilus [08:42] My desktop is extremely bright. Any way to adj this? [08:43] sudo gksudo nautilus did nothing [08:43] It just went back to the prompt [08:43] How can i check the shutdown logs in ubuntu???? [08:43] Andreus: sorry, I meant gksudo nautilus [08:43] rabelais, simply- I go to "Applications- Accessories- Bluetooth Sharing". [08:43] This starts an application that I assume makes it 'detectable', because it has no other gui that I can find. [08:43] And yet, [08:43] Dark_Shadow: on a command line, type 'sudo apt-get --purge remove gnash' [08:43] I still can't find it with my cell phone. There are no bluetooth devices found. [08:44] kajo_, does hciconfig show anything? [08:44] rabelais, nope.

I can't get other windows boxes to successfully access my shared folders. SAMBA is running as a service, and the ports are correctly open through the firewall. The problem started when I messed with the shared folders user names. I then deleted the SAMBA configuration directory and files, and couldn't reinstall samba without an error. I recently had a new update, which added new configuration files. [08:48] kajo_, last idea... sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop [08:48] Dark_Shadow: enter 'about:plugins' as the URL and copy and paste the page that's shown to http://paste.ubuntu.com please [08:48] NullName: did you purge the samba installation? [08:49] rabelais, did it- just stop it? What good is that? [08:49] Jalathan: No I Messed up and deleted instead [08:49] sherl0ck does this give me total root access in the gui or just in terminal? [08:49] kajo_, sudo modprobe -r bcm203x [08:49] An ubuntu update added new config files [08:49] soundray 1 gig [08:49] kajo_, unplug the device [08:49] terminal, then launch what u need from there [08:49] NullName: kk, purging will remove all of the configuration files [08:49] ChrisC36: is it hanging in this state right now?

I have put alot of work into it. [08:50] Jalathan: I see...so maybe I should purge, and try retry? [08:50] i had to install smartctl [08:51] nickolaus: just re-open it with root, and then copy it over [08:51] NullName: correct [08:51] Jalathan: Do you know the correct purge command? [08:51] if it installed, does that mean it successfully used the HD? or is it using a ram drive or something [08:51] rabelais, it still ends with "probe of 4-2:1.0 failed with error -5" [08:51] still want it? [08:51] nickolaus: kdesu kate /path/to/file and then just copy/paste [08:51] nickolaus: what editor is it open in [08:52] ChrisC36: it's using a RAM disk. Did you install the smartmontools package? [08:52] or save elsewhere were u have permission and chmod later [08:52] soundray yes [08:52] sherl0ck Kate [08:52] kajo_, no...I'm out of ideas [08:52] NullName: do you remember the name of the packages installed? i'm afraid that i've not spent too much time with samba [08:52] do a save as in home directory [08:52] kajo_, something's not happy in the bluez land....but I don't know what it is [08:52] Dark_Shadow: it looks good. What do you see when you open Flash videos now? [08:52] NullName: nm [08:52] then later sudo chown root:root file [08:52] Jalathan: I don't I installed SAMBA as a service through synaptic [08:53] sudo mv file /foo/foo/file [08:53] i'm not sure what option to use for smartctl [08:53] Now the XML won't parse!

I have no other way to get pictures on to my computer other than via bluetooth. I need the pics ASAP. *sigh* [08:54] maybe I'll try plugging it into my laptop. [08:54] Dark_Shadow: now take a second to think about what that message means. Are you *sure* that it means your flash plugin isn't working? [08:54] hope it's an individual computer/install problem.

[09:22] OK, moving .mozilla/firefox to .mozilla/firefox-3-backup and .mozilla/firefox-2.replaced to .mozilla/firefox has made the trick... [09:22] soundray, it doesn't work [09:22] :/ [09:22] i installed it [09:22] onats: mind you, graphics acceleration does not work too well in either [09:22] soundray ran that, it finished outputting, i heard my cd rom go, and it froze up now [09:23] soundray, counterstrike works perfectly under wine..including network play and graphics [09:23] ChrisC36: how big is the drive? [09:23] Hey there when I first started using ubuntu I created a Raid 5 arry with 4 disks using mdadm [09:23] i found when i do some operate(e.g. copy or move) on reiserfs partions . it performs very slow , so what can i do ; howto check the disk faults [09:23] soundray 250gb [09:23] onats: did you see that ^^ (thanks anirudh0) [09:23] 10:21:06 (20.07 KB/s) - « ./install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz » sauvegardé [3044538/3044538] [09:23] Download done. [09:23] Flash Plugin installed [09:24] fsck? [09:24] * belendax khaste shode [09:24] now i went bit sudo crazy so how do you back up the raid settings as i want to do a complete system re-install [09:24] we're sorry this video is no longer available [09:24] ..; [09:24] ChrisC36: so about 35 Euros if it's a writeoff? [09:24] anyone good with raid arrays that can help me? [09:25] soundray, yup! [09:25] anirudh0, but my iphone won't "sync" properly if i dont have itunes... [09:25] :( [09:25] how about vmware server? [09:25] soundray probably about 70$ i guess, but i can send it back under warranty to manu [09:25] onats, gtkpod [09:25] gtkpod, even the contacts? [09:25] oh..iphone,,, [09:25] I just received it from warranty replacement lol [09:25] i mean anirudh0 [09:25] no idea about the phone [09:26] but others will know... [09:26] i guess i could put it in my winxp machine and run the seagate diagnostics [09:26] ChrisC36, i assume fsck fails? [09:26] didint try it [09:26] ChrisC36: well, you can't claim warranty if it's been dropped. Perhaps your household insurance covers it, though. [09:26] how do i do that, just fsck [09:27] well i can try sending it back and say it doesnt work. [09:27] soundray, please help meh [09:27] anirudh0: it's an empty drive, no filesystem on there yet to check ( ChrisC36) [09:27] ChrisC36: that would be dishonest, though (not my problem, of course) [09:27] Zeit|awy_: Tried changing it to suit these. It now doesn't seem to like 3h, saying it is not a real number. [09:28] soundray if I felt i could trust the big corp, i could tell them it was dropped - i dont know if that is the actual problem , but anyways [09:28] Dark_Shadow: does the Flash animation on this page work: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ [09:29] soundray, no [09:29] mdadm help anyone? do i just need to backup the config file and run assemble? [09:30] it said click here to dl the plagin [09:31] Dark_Shadow: I get the same message for the shockwave player, but the flash animation below that should work. [09:31] when i click it said no suitable plugins were found [09:31] well fsck /dev/sda1 is checking some stuff\ [09:31] there is sda1, 2, 5 [09:31] where does xmmms save playlists by default? [09:32] its fixing some things [09:33] speedRS: bind accepts several $TTL-formats - not sure about latest builds, but never had problems with it, see http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/apa/time.html [09:33] soundray, the flash animation works but the shokwave no [09:34] powertool08: not sure, but you can find out by saving one under the name 'someuniquestring.m3u', and then running 'sudo updatedb ; locate someuniquetring.m3u' [09:34] hi, I'm trying to create a shortcut in xfce taskbar, but it doesn't run the same as if I type it into terminal myself [09:34] powertool08, nothing in .xmms? [09:34] Dark_Shadow: the Shockwave one isn't supposed to work. But your Flash is installed correctly. [09:34] Dark_Shadow, are you a fan of the show? [09:34] soundray: when it asks for a name it also asks for a location, which has changed from default [09:35] lol [09:35] i want to play youtube vidz [09:35] Which package do I install so I can run Java in FireFox? [09:35] I'm also working on youtube vids [09:35] anirudh0: thats where i looked first, so either the ones i had were deleted or it saves elsewhere, there is an xmms.m3u file there tho [09:35] can i install mythbuntu onto a usb external hd?

Thanks for the help. [09:39] net: any particular reason you're asking me? [09:39] gaminggeek: i sometimes find gnome system monitor better in killing processes [09:40] any particular problem with firefox crashing without a warning in hardy or is it just me ? [09:40] zafy: it's just you... See if it still happens when you start 'firefox -safe-mode' [09:40] it says the status is Uninterruptible.... [09:41] soundry : nothing ...i thought u may knoe this [09:41] anyone knows how to use multiple applications with sounds...example firefox(youtube) with totem player?? [09:41] soundray, okay, I use firebug if that helps, installed the ubuntu package [09:41] gaminggeek: try 'end' 'stop' or 'kill' [09:41] !java [09:41] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [09:41] MrABC, be more specific? [09:41] gaminggeek: in this kind of situation I find a method useful which I learned back in my DOS days... [09:42] soundray : nothing ...i thought u may knoe this [09:42] well let's say i listen to mp3s with totem media player and later on i want to listen to a track on youtube [09:42] gaminggeek: ...reboot (gasp!) [09:42] heh [09:42] MrABC, I just learned that Totem has a youtube plugin and you can browse youtube directly from totem [09:42] hello guys [09:42] lol [09:42] when i get to youtube i get no sound [09:42] ah [09:42] gaminggeek, look up GNU screen [09:42] hasn't worked for me [09:42] any1 can guide me installing compizfusion? [09:42] soundray: actually you know what. i searched in my pidgin logs for this channel and saw that i first asked about wxWidgets back on 28 april. i didnt experience the problems at all even after that messed up filezilla install... my next suspect is wine :S [09:42] GNU screen? [09:43] but i will also like to be able to have multiple applications using the same sound card [09:43] MrABC, your problem is related to Pulse Audio and/or ALSA [09:43] like xp or any other linux distro [09:43] whats that got todo with anything? [09:43] gaminggeek, allows multiple virtual screwens over a console ..look up its man page..if one hangs the others still work [09:43] MrABC: did u try pulseaudio [09:43] soundray: but even if i dont run any wine apps at all i still experience the problem... so im still uncertain about this. even after removing wine i still experienced the problem though [09:43] how to i get to do this [09:44] anirudh0: gaminggeek's problem is an un-kill-able process [09:44] in what package is the man page wait(2) ? [09:44] !pulseaudio | MrABC [09:44] MrABC: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [09:44] i read a few guides but didn't work [09:44] soundray, even with kill -9 [09:44] ? [09:44] i'll try this right now [09:44] anirudh0: yes [09:45] tech0007, manpages-dev ..i gues [09:45] I'm having a problem where browsing the internet/downloading files causes high cpu usage for the browser and xorg. It happens with firefox, opera and konqueror. Anyone know what could cause this? (ubuntu hardy btw) [09:45] gaminggeek, zombie? [09:45] anirudh0: huh? [09:45] anirudh0: thanks that seems to be it [09:45] top says 0 zombies... [09:45] tech0007, ? [09:45] gaminggeek: i know zombies are impossible to kill [09:46] anirudh0: , tech0007: he was talking to me, i think [09:46] looks like it is a zombie [09:46] anirudh0: tech0007, manpages-dev ..i gues [09:46] tech0007, not true, just aim for the head [09:46] look in ps -A|grep [09:46] guess even a shotgun to the head doesnt work with linux zombies :( [09:46] * darth barges into conversation [09:46] tech0007: unless you shoot them in the head [09:46] darth, lol..too much gaming ;) [09:46] soundray: lol [09:46] :) [09:47] great minds think alike [09:47] soundray: or he should'v waited [09:47] gaminggeek, if its a zombie, it should show up in ps [09:47] darth: mine's just always a little slower ;) [09:47] No corruptions found [09:47] There are on the filesystem: [09:47] Leaves 57605 [09:47] Internal nodes 387 [09:47] Directories 558 [09:47] Stupid^Kid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:48] ChrisC36: maybe you were lucky in that only a few sectors were damaged, and they've now been marked as bad, so they won't be used. [09:48] when i use awn, and the compiz negate effect, the lower part (awn) turns white, messing up the point of the negative..any ideas? [09:48] hmm cool [09:49] Stupid^Kid: please place the paste in a pastebin and send us the link here [09:49] Hi, I only need to contact an UK or USA person [09:49] Stupid^Kid: no, that's something wrong in the way you use this channel. [09:49] hey guys. I just installed openvpn on hardy server and my client can connect, but can't ping the server or each other. It looks like it is a firewall/iptables issue but I have never touched those before. Any suggestions? [09:49] isnt the head parked though when off, so that if you drop it cant touch the disk?

[09:54] sparky_: can you elaborate on 'not working'? [09:54] sparky: sudo update-alternatives --config jav [09:54] soundray, the applets are empty [09:54] --config java [09:54] i need some help with aiff files whos tags arent shown when opened with rythmbox [09:55] And I can't play a Yahoo game, it errors on me [09:55] bye [09:55] I'm told to make sure that Java is installed, even though I installed that package [09:55] sparky_: do a 'update-alternatives --list java' and see if the one that comes out on top is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java [09:56] Yup, it pops up [09:56] does anyone know a solution to my problem? [09:57] sparky_: oh, you're on a 64bit system, correct? [09:57] soundray, I believe so [09:57] anthon1: what's the problem? [09:57]  i need some help with aiff files whos tags arent shown when opened with rythmbox [09:57] 2.6.24-18 did not set itself on grub list after upgrade , how to troubleshot ? [09:58] m1r: have you moved /boot around recently? [09:58] hi soundray , nothing has been moved , did regular upgrade only... [09:58] sparky_, did you install the plugin or the jre? [09:58] sparky_: Java applets not working with the Sun JRE on 64bit system is a known problem. I don't know whether there is a solution yet [09:59] hello [09:59] ikonia: hi [09:59] m1r: 'sudo update-grub' should fix it if that step was just skipped for some reason [10:00] how do i get out of root? [10:00] why NTP fails to work in ubuntu? [10:00] SaraSmith: how did you get in? [10:00] soundray: will try now and reboot ,brb [10:00] m1r: before you reboot... [10:00] anirudh0, I haven't installed the plugin, I was told to just get the jre. Which package would be the plugin? [10:00] soundray sudo -i [10:00] SaraSmith: 'exit' [10:01] m1r: check whether your /boot/grub/menu.lst now shows the current kernel on top of the list [10:01] can i shipit an ubuntu muslim edition?

[10:02] werther: nope, its on rc1 [10:03] AlexW_: you don't have to compile a new kernel just to make your system aware of a new card ( anirudh0, what were you thinking?) [10:03] anyone able to help with mdadm? [10:03] hi all [10:03] Eh... is Firefox 3.0 released? [10:03] werther: no, it's not yet been released at all [10:03] I just pulled it in from the apt sources [10:03] probablt rc2 [10:03] !firefox [10:03] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[10:04] i just updated my ubuntu system, and firefox 3 is on the list [10:05] *ding ding ding* :) [10:05] axelpaxel: sudo rm -rf (folder).............BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS [10:05] m1r: do you have a separate /boot partition? [10:05] axelpaxel: sudo rm -r [10:05] that's what I mean [10:05] strange huh? [10:05] soundray: no [10:05] then when i open firefox again, check "about" it just says Firefox 3, [10:05] axelpaxel: BE VERY CAREFUL..DONT PUT A . AFTER THE COMMAND [10:05] tech0007: I'll probably forget the command in 30 secs, so it's quite safe :D [10:05] doesn't have rc2 or something [10:06] soundray: root (hd1,0) [10:06] could some one else confirm this? werther and me both have Firefox 3.0 installed [10:06] werther: 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 [10:06] m1r: sudo update-grub didn't report any errors? [10:06] it broke my firebug :( [10:06] soundray: let me recheck [10:06] why ubuntu fails so hard to provide basic things like NTP time synchronization? [10:07] tech0007: what does the nobinonly indicate? [10:07] from apt-cache: firefox-3.0 - safe and easy web browser from Mozilla [10:07] LimCore: what a loaded question. Perhaps you just can't configure it properly [10:07] soundray: sent u update-grub on PM [10:07] the sound wiki didn't work and now can't get any sound from firefox to work!! [10:07] soundray: seems all ok to me [10:07] anirudh0: its a metapackage that will point to the latest ff in ubuntu...just reading haha [10:07] anyone uses podnova? a podcast client, I've downloaded it from it's website, but I have not clue how to run it http://www.podnova.com [10:08] tech0007: thats granparadiso..i meant the nobinonly in the deb name [10:08] soundray: well if I start ntp then I would expect my time to be synchronized... how to cionfigure it then [10:08] wuick question: is there any "log-feature" in xchat btw? [10:08]  i need some help with aiff files whos tags arent shown when opened with rythmbox [10:08] axelpaxel: yes [10:08] anirudh0: see 'dpkg -s firefox' [10:08] LimCore: no, that's not what ntp is for [10:08] tech0007: i think you are misunderstanding my question...i know the package name..i'd like to know what it means [10:09] alright, it's just strange that it says nowhere that it's a RC [10:09] anirudh0: nobin...mean no binaries... [10:09] LimCore: System > Administration > Time and Date > Unlock. soundray: uh, no. [10:10] LimCore: Ubuntu synchronizes automatically with a timeserver when the defaultroute network interface goes up. That's the default setup [10:10] clarezoe: looks like a python package..i there a setup.py in the dir? [10:10] *is [10:10] achadwick: what? [10:11] Hi, during a unattended install (pressed) is it a bad idea to chroot /taget/, patch, make, make modules, make install, mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd... ? I have compiled a network driver during auto-install process, and it crashes on reboot. I have made the same manipultations *after* an installation and the driver works fine. Any pointers ? [10:11] soundray: NTP is for time synchronisation. That is the protocol's job. But I did not know about the default config, been a while since I did a fresh install. [10:11] can anyone help me, i did the pulse audio thing and now i can't get any sound from firefox... [10:12] pulse audio thing? [10:12] achadwick: Unable to contact time server: pool.ntp.org. [10:12] cool, I found 2nd bog then [10:12] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [10:13] for firefox go to help:release notes to find the version [10:13] achadwick: above messages is from kde system settings -> time and date -> [x] setup time automatically. it does work from command line [10:13] soundray, :/ [10:13] didn't work [10:13] MrABC: did u try renaming .asoundrc and .asoundrc.asoundconf ? [10:13] AlexW_: what type of wifi card have you added? [10:13] renaming? [10:13] anirudh0, I only found one setup.pyc, and then it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/18998/ in the terminal [10:13] soundray: no, it does not do that auto synchronization by default [10:14] soundray, D-Link G510 [10:14] soundray: then what for is ntp? [10:14] PCI [10:14] MrABC: mv ~/.asoundrc .asoundrc.old mv ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf.old [10:14] clarezoe: install python-plistlib [10:14] MrABC: then close/open firefox [10:14] AlexW_: how is it connected to your computer? [10:15] pci [10:15] anirudh0, ok, thanks. come back later [10:15] soundray, pci [10:15] AlexW_: i use same card without any problem on 8.04, worked out of box [10:15] soundray: man ntpd says that its a deamon which sets and maintains system time and date... thats exacly what I want [10:16] mlr, i just put it in [10:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/ down? [10:16] LimCore: it's for time synchronization all right. The package that syncs your host with an internet timeserver, though, is ntpdate. And its default setup is fine. You're not supposed to install ntpd unless you know exactly what you are doing [10:16] rastakid: nope [10:16] AlexW_: does it get listed on lspci ? [10:16] LimCore: hate to ask the obvious..but is the daemon running? [10:16] rastakid: works for me [10:16] NO SUCH FILES [10:16] LimCore: did you call me ? [10:16] hi ikonia [10:16] anirudh0: yes, it was running all the time. I finally stoped it to use ntpdate by hand to confirm that clock FAILED and was desynchronized [10:17] m1r: hello [10:17] a little msadm help anyone?

[10:17] LimCore: atleast it drifts in the safe directrion :) [10:17] LimCore: run ntpdate in your startup, this worked for me when i was in gutsy [10:17] AlexW_: not that it should matter , but u can try switch PCI slot just for test ? [10:17] clarezoe: post whole log..hard to make out from just 2 lines [10:17] ikonia: computer was running for 3 days, and the lag increased, as if ntpd did nothing to fix it [10:17] soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18999/ [10:18] LimCore: ntpd isnt for controlling your system time [10:18] anirudh0, sorry, just a moment [10:18] soundray, the light on the back is working so :/ [10:18] ikonia: manual says it is [10:18] LimCore: I thought you where having problems syncing against your ntp server [10:18] oO no one can help... [10:18] The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and main The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains the system time of day in synchronism[..]tains the system time of day in synchronism [10:18] LimCore: it's "time server" it needs to be setup correclty in the stratum service to work [10:18] damn mouse middle button [10:18] LimCore: I know what it does [10:18] anirudh0, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19000/ [10:19] LimCore: I think your miss-uindersanding the wording a little [10:19] hmm ok, then again [10:19] how to have my system time synchronized to pool.ntp.org ? [10:19] LimCore: but if you want to control your desktop clock with ntpd then, that can be done [10:19] m1r, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18999/ [10:19] well any way that works would be fine [10:19] LimCore: just realise that your actually setting up a time server, not syncing your clock [10:19] LimCore: if it happens too often, it might be hardware (CMOS battery) i think [10:19] I have two of these cards [10:20] AlexW_ can u try reslot cards ? [10:20] ill go try the other [10:20] bbs === Freduardo|zZzZz is now known as Freduardo [10:20] LimCore: remember there is a client and a server, ntpd is the server - it "serves" time [10:20] hmm ok, my goal is simply to have my desktop's system clock to be synchronized to pool.ntp.org what is the best way for it [10:20] LimCore: ntpdate [10:20] Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [10:20] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another sourceE: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate [10:20] Any solution to that? [10:20] ikonia: but on ##linux they told me to use ntp instead ntpdate [10:21] LimCore: that is an option, yes [10:21] ikonia: running ntpdate from cron is not the best, because it may "jump" [10:21] clarezoe: see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2app/ [10:21] I heatred that ntpd is better because it runs continuesly therefore better [10:21] LimCore: yes, the clock may jump, so putting your cron job time of, that is a fair point ot make [10:21] A BIG THANK YOU to the ubuntu community for helping me solve my sound problem... Thanks again! [10:21] clarezoe: this says that py2app..the cause of your error is a mac specific thing [10:21] LimCore: ntp is a "time server" - its your call if thats how you want to set up your machine [10:21] clarezoe: you are sure that you downloaded the right thing? [10:22] ikonia: ok I want to use this ntp. How to use it to have my local time synchronized? [10:22] LimCore: why not setup time once ,and then let it run?

[10:36] LimCore: have your read the docs [10:37] ntpdate is a bit of a blunt instrument - it can only adjust the time once a day, in one big correction [10:37] clarezoe, right, well a light alternative browser is dillo, claws for email, abiword for 'word' documents. [10:37] it's constantly working out the time [10:37] Hi, what do i have to do to get AC3 sound playback with VLC? i have w32codecs, but whatever i do i cant get sound [10:37] ikonia: hm? well, that is why I do not use ntpdate, but use ntpd instead [10:37] elkbuntu, yeah, I'm already using them, I'm looking for a podcast client now [10:37] LimCore: your not understanding [10:38] hello is there any program that can convert xvid to dvd ? [10:39] running ntpd deamons is a correct way to have own system clock to be synchronized, right? [10:39] LimCore: is one correct way, yes. [10:39] phantomas: tovid [10:39] clarezoe, im not sure about a podcast client per se, but http://damnsmalllinux.org/applications.html is a useful list to refer to [10:39] ok, so I run it, but my time is not synchronized, it is 10 minutes off (after 3 days) [10:39] hello [10:39] elkbuntu, thank you very much! [10:40] phantomas: or dvdrip [10:40] is there a site where i could get an animated ubuntu log-in theme [10:40] LimCore: You don't run it personally, daemons do. Do you have any servers in /etc/ntp.conf? [10:40] clarezoe, i used to run DSL on a machine that had only 16mb ram, so it should fly in 30mb. [10:40] tech0007: what is better?

[11:01] And what architecture IS it available? [11:01] +on [11:01] Flynsarmy, okay nevermind then [11:02] sparky_, your on AMD64/64-bit? or 32-bit? [11:02] sparky_: as far as I know, there isn't currently a solution, except installing a 32bit version of firefox [11:02] 64 [11:02] !flash64 | sparky_ [11:02] sparky_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [11:02] ah [11:02] yup you'll need to do extra for 64-bit [11:02] its the price you pay [11:02] 64bit is super awesome.. lol.. you have to install a 32bit browser to watch youtube. [11:03] Does anyone have a good suggestion of apps for my 6yr old? He get's pretty addicted to his computer (Ubuntu 8.04) mainly Torcs, Planetpenguin racer, tuxkart and several others .. I need to not only control his access to the www (he does Playhouse disney and others) and time his computer login. Help? [11:03] jeed: it's the price we pay for Sun not compiling a plugin for 64 bit [11:03] IndyGunFreak: no, you don't === bz0b_ is now known as bz0b [11:03] IndyGunFreak: flash works fine in 64 [11:03] soundray: well, its good to know flash is working now.. [11:03] hey guys does anyone here use ipw3945? [11:03] Bah, it errors when installing the 32 version :/ [11:03] soundray, commercial people hate 64-bit [11:04] hello, i am gentoo user, helping out a guy with ubuntu - is there a way how to compile a kernel? i mean, specific? [11:04] you need the plugin wrapper for flash, pretty trivial install [11:04] soundray, would I be better off installing the 32 bit on my computer, or staying with the 64? [11:04] for ubuntu? cause gentoo does it differently... thanks [11:04] sparky_: you need to follow the instructions on the flash64 link [11:04] soundray: it does the same thing, the window appears for half a second then goes [11:04] no error [11:04] soundray, I did, but it still errored [11:04] i seem to have a problem when attempting to change my mac adress on my wifi card then trying to connect back to the network does anyone know why? [11:04] jeed: no, they don't. Sun love their own 64bit architecture [11:05] PetoKraus: Make sure build-essential has been installed, then google "Compile Ubuntu Kernel" and it should pop you up .. [11:05] But i mean generally speaking, is it better to stick with the 64 or the 32? [11:05] yeah but like they are gunna give in to someone who isnt gunna make them money [11:05] ndf: you could run 'sudo strace gdmsetup', see if you can make sense of the output [11:05] sparky_, i have a 64-bit compatible pc but i use 32, its less hassle all round [11:05] ndf: it'll probably tell you what it fails on [11:05] PetoKraus: How is Gentoo doing? I used it exclusively until I got lazy .. :) .. I miss it though .. [11:05] soundray, can you please take a look at the /msg i wrote to you :) [11:05] NineTeen67Comet: i know how to compile kernel, but, i usually do it without initramd (gentoo way). [11:05] icqnumber: have you tried logging a specific request to gnome for the correct gconf parameter ? [11:05] hi, i used pysdm to make my fat patition to be mounted at boot time, it worked but i can only read files from it, i tried from dolphin to give me permisions to write but it does not work, can i mount the partition directly with write permisions? i seen in /etc/fstab that the floppy has a rw flag, my partition has only a default flag [11:05] Ah ok, that's what I figured. Well thank you [11:06] !pm | icqnumber [11:06] icqnumber: 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. [11:06] sparky_, no problem [11:06] soundray: you ecpect me to read about 1,000 pages of info?! [11:06] *expect [11:06] ndf: it's your choice [11:06] PetoKraus: With Ubuntu out of the box it's lacking the tools needed to compile. sudo aptitude install build-essential (might have misspelled it) .. contains the items needed to compile. [11:07] NineTeen67Comet: i was debian user, never used ubuntu, but i got dissatisfied with constant overwriting of your confs - like, /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:07] ndf: hint: what you're looking for is probably at the end of this output [11:07] soundray, i have asked it many many times here, so you was my last chance, because i assume, that you knows a lot... [11:07] NineTeen67Comet: already apt-got. [11:07] here is my /etc/fstab http://pastebin.com/mf80f130 i have kubuntu hardy [11:07] 1000 zebras on a ferry!! Yes!! [11:07] NineTeen67Comet: gentoo at least warns you when it overwrites your configs :) [11:07] soundray: lots of missing thumbnail pngs and a segmentation fault [11:08] ndf: do you get segfaults with any other programs? [11:08] ikonia, well, first of all, what makes you so sure that it must be stored in gconf? [11:08] hi [11:08] soundray: not that i know of [11:08] With Hardy desktop, how do I make it so that only root has the right to shutdown/restart/suspend the computer? [11:08] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and and cannot connect to my home wireless network [11:09] PetoKraus: what was it in Gentoo .. um .. etc-config or something? I miss it, it was nice, but my server's got really hard to keep up .. I'm no good at compiling kernels in Ubuntu, but you should be able to find it via Google or the Ubuntuforums.org site .. [11:09] ndf: try a 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm' and retry gksudo gdmsetup [11:09] etc-update, NineTeen67Comet [11:09] icqnumber: resonable deduction [11:09] TecnoBrat, if i recall correctly, we yesterday talked about a problem regarding windows loader. the problem arised, because i added a new partition before the windows partition. you suggested to repair the bootloader using the windows cd. just for your information: i am sure, it would have worked well, but it wasn't actually necessary, i just needed to edit the boot.ini file and increment all the partition numbers by 1. [11:09] ikonia, and even if it is, i do not know how to do that [11:09] i have atheros [11:09] ok [11:09] NineTeen67Comet: etc-update, yeah :) i found the command, it's make-kpkg... [11:09] icqnumber: don't know how to do what ? [11:09] and nm-applet can see networks but can't connect [11:09] morning [11:09] can any1 help? [11:09] :) [11:09] NineTeen67Comet: it's actually the same as debian way. Though init ramdisks suck, it's useless hassle, in my opinion... [11:09] ikonia, no i am relative new new [11:10] icqnumber: you don't know how to do what ? [11:10] ikonia, no, i do not know [11:10] soundray: sudo didnt ask for pass and this happened: [11:10] :~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm [11:10] icqnumber: give ikonia that link, please [11:10] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [11:10] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [11:10] ndf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:10] goran: Wireless no matter how much work they put into it, seems to have issues (Not the fault of the Distribution, but the hardware makers) .. the way I usually get it working is google my brains out, a lot of nano use and crossing my fingers .. [11:10] ndf, close synaptic [11:10] soundray, he have seen it allready [11:10] oh lol [11:10] cant atm [11:11] has anyone go pyScrabble to work on hardy? [11:11] its updating [11:11] hi all. how can import all my accounts from my evolution on dapper to the new evolution on hardy? [11:11] how can i join subtitles to a mpg ? [11:11] PetoKraus: I believe init ramdisks are useful if you use lvm for root [11:11] soundray, are you talking about this question on launchpad, i have asked? [11:11] why are you want only the root have the right to shutdown the computer ,are there anyone have no necessary [11:11] PetoKraus: I'll have to try to compile a Kernel in *buntu some day .. I'm hoping after classes this semester I can install Gentoo on one of my many boxes and get back to my roots .. [11:11] NineTeen67Comet, i saw a laptop that had OOTB ubuntu wireless 100% working, it was a good few mins :) [11:11] NineTeen67Comet, well i'm googling whole morning :D anyway it worked on debian with ndiswrapper, but ubuntu recognized ath_pci drivers and i'm curious why it doesnt work [11:11] soundray, he was the first one i have asked about it :-) [11:11] NineTeen67Comet: well, i had custom kernel in debian, along with custom scripts - then apt-get dist-upgrade smashed it all [11:11] phantomas, what format are those subtitles using? [11:11] what does this "roaming" mean in network configuration? [11:11] goran: whats your wireless device? [11:12] atheros [11:12] ipw2200 ftw [11:12] 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [11:12] goran: if you see the networks [11:12] it's usually the wpa_supplicant causing you trouble [11:12] iwlist ath0 scan works [11:12] soundray, or better, he was the first one who has replyed on my question... [11:12] It is a crap shoot for me if Wifi works. This MBP will have nothing to do with wireless.. but my HP and Dell notebooks took right off .. [11:12] goran: thats why.... the device is misdetected by Ubuntu.. its actually AR5006EG [11:12] goran: I'm always fighting wifi with friends computers I talk into *nix .. lol .. some even have the same card .. it's NUTS .. :) [11:13] goran: hang on a sec, i have some links for that device [11:13] intel cards are GOOD. [11:13] rdz: its srt [11:13] so i should remove wpa_supplicant? [11:13] no [11:13] ikonia: I reinstalled firefox and moved the ~/.mozilla to generate a new one and here's the result (all sorts of broken): http://i.thepcspy.com/oli/firefoxhelp.jpg [11:13] broadcom seem to have awesome wireless support these days [11:13] icqnumber: still, if he asks you what you need help with, you shouldn't reply "yes, I need help". That's if you want to be taken seriously [11:13] IndyGunFreak, its not just misdetection by ubuntu, debian detected same card [11:13] jeed: now.. it used to be pretty rough. [11:13] jeed: anything based on mac80211 is good ;) [11:13] jeed, well i don't find the /proc/config.gz but i'ill use /boot/config-`uname -r` anyway . [11:13] Perlboy: apt-get is satan . aptitude is my buddy (unless I'm removing, then back to apt-get cuz aptitude will plain take it all if it didn't install it .. full-upgrade is a good command for upgrades too .. or safe-upgrade if you are spooked .. [11:13] goran: well, i didn't say it was just ubuntu, i'm just familiar w/ the problem w/ ubuntu. [11:13] i want to know how to install the drive for SIS650 [11:14] The-Seiman, thats gay, use the /boot :) [11:14] ok ok [11:14] so what should i do? [11:14] goran: have you searched the forums on this?.. there's several fixes [11:14] NineTeen67Comet: what you don't like about apt-get?!? [11:14] is there anyone who do this before [11:14] hi.. how can i figure out which process opened a specific port? [11:14] IndyGunFreak, i put ubuntu on a broadcom chip laptop and it was OOTB working [11:14] PetoKraus: [11:14] please help me [11:14] icqnumber: I have found the answer, the places menu is controlled from .gtk-bookmarks directory [11:14] so i suppose it is good these days [11:14] PetoKraus: apt-get seems to mess stuff up for me more than aptitude .. [11:14] IndyGunFreak, yes... but it is for 5007 chipset [11:14] Oli````: I'm not convinvced thats come from the ubuntu repos [11:14] i dont know if my chipset is 5007 [11:14] timsom: do you have gnome running? [11:14] phantomas, afaik, mplayer can display subtitles from srt files. probably you can use mplayer or mencoder to create a new file, where picture and subtitles are joined [11:14] NineTeen67Comet: that's weird. because aptitude USES apt-get. [11:14] PetoKraus, emerge is better :) [11:14] Oli````: I cannot find a firefox release 2 package [11:14] yes [11:15] phantomas, but for details, you might want to ask #mplayer (i am no expert in this field) [11:15] goran: and if you read the threads you searched, the 242x is misdetected 99% of the time, its ar5006EG(which in gutsy, was misdetected as Ar6007) [11:15] soundray: many tnx m8, seems that *-16 was problem , everything works ok now [11:15] ikonia, no no , i know that, it is for for your custom folders only [11:15] jeed: well, it's different. I don't like emerge very much either... [11:15] jeed, hmm... one more question, ndiswrapper and acer_acpi are installed using .deb packages [11:15] but we i play game like war III ,it work very slow [11:15] ikonia: it's not - it's definitely the rc1 package. It could well be RC1 just loading the RC2 splash page [11:15] jeed, so do I need to reinstall them in the new kernel ? [11:15] m1r: no, -16 wasn't the problem -- but removing it made your menu.lst accessible to update-grub again [11:15] but there is no this problem in the Windows XP [11:15] PetoKraus: especially when removing things I installed with aptitude .. aptitude seems to keep an eye on dependancies better when it is used for installation .. emerge however is still my fave ..lol [11:15] PetoKraus, masking can get annoying but nothing beats a good old source compile automated [11:15] so regular madwifi that comes with ubuntu will not work? [11:16] * NineTeen67Comet port is nice too , but FBSD messes with my head on how it slices and partitions .. [11:16] goran: i'm using madwifi right now.. [11:16] ikonia, like pictures, videos, and so one, the hard drivers items are stored somethere else [11:16] jeed: it's quite slow to be honest. Source compiling is great thing to do, ofc, but writing it in python... [11:16] Oli````: why is mine not loading that splash page [11:16] The-Seiman, you should be ok with stuff like ndiswrapper [11:16] timsom: which driver are you currently using? [11:16] Oli````: why does mine not say "release candidate 2" in the top right [11:16] jeed, okay thanks :-) [11:16] soundray: strange problem , but glad u helped me sort it out , tnx a lot [11:16] PetoKraus, python is faster than quite a few languages [11:16] so what should i do? :) compile madwifi from source or smth else? [11:16] icqnumber: I'll go back to reading the docs (which you should be doing - not me) [11:16] jeed: that's true, but not than C/C++ [11:16] this is one SIS650 [11:16] PetoKraus, we could go all the way and do it in ASM [11:17] Off to beat my children .. best of luck goran and hope you get the kernel figured out PetoKraus [11:17] ikonia, i was reading them allready on gnomes docs [11:17] integration [11:17] timsom: please use my nick when you reply. Which *driver* are you using (I'm not asking about the card) [11:17] ikonia: it only loads on first load and that "(Release Candidate 2)" text is a page title set through HTML. Move your ~/.mozilla dir to ~/.mozilla2 and restart firefox [11:17] jeed: and there are other annoying things... toolsets for emerge are scattered among several packages. apt-* provides you convenient interface to everything... but that's OT [11:17] goran: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766529 [11:17] I get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery [11:18] i'll go as well. bye. [11:18] ok, so is my card ar5007 or ar5006? [11:18] goran: what model is your laptop [11:18] ikonia, and at first look, it seems that some items like: Desktop, all hard dirves pointers, are really hided... [11:18] Oli````: same thing [11:19] soundray: OK ,no when i install ubuntu ,i have done nothing with driver [11:19] asus f3tc [11:19] ikonia: you mean you get the RC2 page? [11:19] Oli````: no I don't [11:19] Oli````: mozilla dir moved, firefox restarted [11:19] timsom: are you on Ubuntu hardy? [11:19] I get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery, anyone know how to fix it? [11:19] goran: if the instructiosn you've found for the 5007 aren't working, its probably a 5006 [11:20] soundray, thank you for the hint, but i guess you have misunderstood that [11:20] soundray: yes [11:20] goran: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [11:20] ikonia: well I'm really confused but thenk you for testing. Time to nuke everything with firefox or mozilla in its name [11:20] but it should be already working since it could scan? [11:20] soundray: right now [11:20] i'm using 32bit [11:20] (generic kernel) [11:20] Oli````: really doesn't look like a hardy package [11:21] someone having probs with ath wifi card? [11:21] goran: you would think so.., but i had the same issues, i could see networks, but couldn't hook on to any of them. [11:21] lejon, yep [11:21] ikonia: good point. I'll disable backports too [11:21] hm [11:21] sourndray: do you what the problem . [11:21] ok [11:21] goran, you know which card it is or which chipset it is? [11:21] 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [11:21] apparently it is ar5007 [11:21] Flannel: ikonia: I see no messages in syslog, but it would seem that both ntpdate and ntpd fail to adjust small time offsets - using adjtime instead of settimeofday() perhaps its a kerenl/driver/mobo bug related to adjtime then? I added more info to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/238805 does it look like a bug? [11:22] Launchpad bug 238805 in ntp "ntpd doesn't work - time is not synchronized" [Undecided,New] [11:22] LimCore: stop making random comments [11:22] goran let me check mine, I have a atheros 5005G and it has a 243x or 242xchipset dont remember :P [11:22] icqnumber: no, I haven't. You have misunderstood ikonia. But if I can't convince you that you have, I can't help to clear it up. [11:22] ikonia: debugging the problem is random comment? [11:22] I get this error when trying to reconfigure xserver-xorg, FATAL: Error inserting battery, anyone know how to fix it? [11:23] ah I had a AR2413 chipset, but goran, have you tried the madwifi drivers? [11:23] LimCore: reporting a bug before you've understood the basics of your problem is trolling. [11:23] lejon, well drivers came with ubuntu [11:23] otherwise I before found a atheros page with linux drivers, brb and ill try to find it again [11:23] and i can scan [11:23] but i cannot connect to any network [11:23] i get this when i try ifup: wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801 [11:23] soundray: I understood the problem well enough to see what causes the bug. Unless you can point some mistake in this reasoning? [11:24] goran, try to download the madwifi drivers and try them? [11:24] and getting nothing from dhcp :| [11:24] nupe [11:24] nope* [11:24] are you in [11:24] LimCore: the mistake in this reasoning is that there is no bug. [11:24] i'm going to try that now [11:24] brb [11:24] goran, what does ifconfig say [11:24] LimCore: your testing of ntpdate shows the ntpdate can deal with short random updates [11:25] Ask that, what input method top right corner " EN " is? [11:25] bazhang, http://debian.pastebin.org/42805 [11:25] timsom: could you put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu.com pls [11:25] azureus giving an error can anybody help? [11:25] ikonia: what do you get if you run this script are the drifts < 0.1 sec after first iteration, or are they raising to 0.5 and then jumoing to 0.1 like they do for me? [11:25] goran, what does sudo dhclient wifi0 return [11:26] soundray, well the shorter way was to make it clear is that you have no answer to my question and not because my question was bad... [11:26] LimCore: running your test now [11:27] soundray: OK wait for a moment [11:27] Taco: when you click on it, it switches to another input method, for example Chinese [11:27] icqnumber, what question [11:27] icqnumber: I never said your question was bad, and I made it clear that I don't know the answer. [11:28] bazhang, http://debian.pastebin.org/42806 [11:28] does 'roaming mode' in wireless networking mean that it will switch automatically to better signal quality networks if they are open? [11:28] what does 'File to patch:' mean? [11:28] LimCore: my off set never voes above 0.003580 [11:28] goran, http://www.atheros.cz/ I found the site again [11:28] LimCore: in fact just got 0.000552 [11:28] goran, that is the whole output? [11:28] bazhang, http://debian.pastebin.org/42806 [11:28] goran, http://www.atheros.cz/ I found the site again [11:29] yes [11:29] LimCore: does that give you confidence it's working ? [11:29] soundray:The regret, I said am the input method, the example: gcin [11:29] icqnumber: I was trying to clear up something else, something that you had misunderstood, probably due to the fact that you're not a native English speaker. If you want to, we can clear this up in German by pm. I'd appreciate it, though, if you didn't question my helping in public. [11:30] ikonia: what is your drift if you dont run ntpdate nor ntp? [11:30] i have to reboot [11:30] brb [11:30] soundray: if you can do this in german, thank danke [11:30] LimCore: very small [11:30] icqnumber, is this hardy? there is no such item in my places menu [11:30] LimCore: just got an 0.00859 [11:30] does 'roaming mode' in wireless networking mean that it will switch automatically to better signal quality networks if they are open? [11:30] ndf as far as I know, yes [11:30] bazhang: thats his problem [11:30] soundray, i just do not want to flood asking my long question every time, that is why i have pm'ed you [11:30] soundray: I have paste the file in http://paste.ubuntu.com/19012/ [11:31] lejon: ok thanks [11:31] ikonia: if you have a small drift, below 0.5 sec, and run ntpdate, and then run ntpdate again right after, then you see that former ntpdate run synchronzied the clock right? [11:31] ikonia, thanks :) [11:31] ndf because roaming means that you just connect to the best available network where you are atm, even if you move [11:31] ok [11:31] bazhang, the item witch points you to / [11:31] i'm turning it off [11:31] LimCore: one moment, just sleeping 20 [11:31] ndf, np [11:31] i keep getting shoved off my network and connected to 'unknown' with real slow rates [11:31] LimCore: without ntp/ntpd date drift was 0.002663 [11:32] icqnumber, it is called 'Computer' now [11:32] ndf well, you have roaming enabled or have you configured ur interface? [11:32] LimCore: yes, the the more frequent I run ntpdate the less the drift [11:32] LimCore: (within reason of course) [11:32] bazhang, computer shows you all dirves, and not / [11:33] timsom: look at line 299: you are already using the SIS driver. It may not support 3D acceleration as the Windows driver -- this is because the Linux driver has been written by volunteers who had no internal specifications of the SIS chipset. [11:33] icqnumber, you are on hardy? the computer shows all drives and filesystem [11:33] ikonia: exacly. And for me, the drift grows up to 0.5 second no matter how often I call ntpdate, then jumps to almost 0 [11:34] LimCore: ok, so your bios motherboard is probably dyning [11:34] LimCore: as in the battery [11:34] bazhang, i know, take a look at you nautilus places menu left in nautilus window [11:34] LimCore: therefore your machine is drifting quickly [11:34] ikonia: right [11:34] LimCore: so whats the problem ?

[11:59] brandan_: well, on linux, everything is a file, basically, so you just need to find the file with that information in it (probably in /etc/X... something somewhere) and modify it, then restart the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill X) [11:59] albech: I thought so.

I installed ubuntu-server on to a machine which is going to be... a server. Unfortunately, one of the programs I need to install requires X, so I wanted to put on just the basic desktop environment, but not all the games and openoffice and so on that is in ubuntu-desktop. I tried installing gnome-core, which seemed to go quite well, but it doesn't actually seem to... [12:04] ...install an x server! (guess it can run remotely, huh.) so... I thought about installing xorg-server, but that doesn't seem to include any fonts, etc... so I just decided to go for ubuntu-desktop in the end. for next time, though, is there, or could someone suggest an alternative to, a "ubuntu-server-desktop" package? [12:05] albech: The only way to be 100% sure would be to reefer to the manual [12:05] anyone? [12:05] ne2k__, you dont want a xserver. you want the x client libraries [12:05] giews [12:05] anyone manage to setup midi playback on their laptop?

[12:06] joaopinto: of course I need an X server. the third-party application is an X-based program that needs to run on the server [12:06] ne2k__, wubi is not designed for noobs, it is designed for people which does not want to partition their disk, and it doest support loopback mounts [12:07] IndyGunFreak, not so much.. got the desktop for that one [12:07] ne2k__: for a minimal X, install xserver-xorg-core and all the packages it recommends and suggests (apt-cache depends xserver-xorg-core) [12:07] ne2k__, you need a xserver only on the client system, not ton the Server itself [12:07] How do I get the bottom Panel back to normal, I accidently deleted it....:(=-( [12:07] :-( [12:07] soundray: thanks, I got the downgrade to work and now all is well with my js debugger [12:08] if you are going to run X apps from a server, but using a client display, you need the X server locally and x client libs remotely, to run those apps [12:08] <[EGC-i]ThinIce> Hi all - just applied todays upgrades.

[13:13] xnv : sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True [13:13] ok.. [13:13] find /boot/grub/stage1 [13:13] sorry, my glasses broke yesterday and i'm heaving a helluva time. [13:13] my new ones should be in today thank godness [13:13] eviltim: do you have more than one hard disk? [13:13] no [13:14] how to get kiba dock ? ny1 knows [13:14] eviltim: can you run 'sudo fdisk -l' in the terminal and pastebin the output (http://paste.ubuntu.com) [13:14] what's the regular source that I should have, if any.. [13:14] prabu: I've given you a link [13:14] hi [13:15] yes but how to install tat [13:15] is anyone here using virtual box?? [13:15] done [13:15] dacubuntu: #vbox [13:15] oh sorry [13:15] :P [13:15] prabu: it's a web site with instructions. You open it in firefox [13:15] dacubuntu: I have it :) [13:15] ok brb [13:15] i put in the bin [13:15] dacubuntu I use it [13:15] lol no worries [13:16] ok [13:16] should i discuss it here? [13:16] eviltim: you have to give us the link [13:16] my usb isnt working properly [13:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19037/ [13:16] did you enable it in fstab? [13:16] IndyGunFreak: sorry, you were so right... [13:16] doesn't look like Linux is installed to me.. [13:16] soundray: :) [13:16] oh [13:17] It did try to install [13:17] it said fatal error at grub [13:17] and it booted from the cd [13:17] eviltim: well, somethinng happened and it didn't work, i would suggest using the alt. install cd [13:17] ok [13:17] !alternate | eviltim [13:17] eviltim: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [13:17] can i expect ubuntu to support common integrated motherboards out of the box or will i need to get drivers? [13:17] eviltim: just remember, burn the ISO SLOW... [13:18] I cant choose the speed [13:18] with my burner [13:18] you should be able to. [13:18] /msg ubottu etiquette [13:18] its a software issue if you can't,not a hardware issue. [13:18] has anyone else had saving problems with open office 2.4 on hardy heron? [13:18] sajuuk: nope, works fine === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [13:18] When I save, it breaks and office stops responding [13:19] * IndyGunFreak thinks eviltim will hose his system w/ the alt. install cd.. bad feeling.. 6 install tries? [13:19] What's the reccomended partition type for installing on SD media? [13:19] * soundray shivers -- we didn't tell him to backup [13:19] soundray: well, hopefully after 6 tries, he's figured that out by now. [13:19] lol [13:19] Hey, I have an external Philips mp3-player on which I deleted (on windows) some files to make space. now when I try to add new data on ubuntu, it says 'not enough space'. actually nautilus tells me that the free space is 400 mb, whereas windows says it's 6 gb (which it should be after deleting the files). when I mark all files (there are no hidden ones) in nautilus and go to properties, it displays 14 gb (which leaves me with the 6gb free spa [13:20] so no solutions with my problem? should i just switch to abiword? [13:20] sajuuk: does this happen with every document? [13:20] is there any amp packages that dont require installation and can run straight off a usb memory stick?? [13:20] pretty much [13:21] sajuuk: what does that mean? [13:21] im back [13:21] could please someone tell me how much time grub needs to installed? i may not wait much time [13:21] anyone got experience with X messing up when you close the laptop lid? I'm sitting at a Thinkpad t60p, when I close and open the lid the screen is black except for a space somewhere in the middle that is mostly black but has some noise [13:21] i have a 256 mb laptop that runs at 1.6 ghz, that might be a problem... [13:21] sajuuk: there's a major difference between it never working and it working sometimes [13:22] soundray : they gave many codes but they never xxplained d how to do tat [13:22] OO works its just that when i save it stuffs up [13:22] kdat: 2 mins. [13:22] nazgjunk: my t61p does a similar thing when resuming from suspend. i just wait 3-4 seconds and then it's fine... [13:22] any other way to install kiba dock ? [13:22] prabu: it requires compiling software. If you can't cope with that, please try to live without kiba-dock for now and gather some experience first. [13:22] ffm, tahnks [13:23] kdat: np. [13:23] Buyydee: doesn't work for me. I'm looking at some bug reports, seems I'm at least not the only one with this issue [13:23] at least it can be recovered [13:23] which is sort of comfortin [13:23] nazgjunk: are you using the nvidia or nv display driver? [13:23] guys is there any compiz channel ? [13:23] abe3k: /j #compiz [13:23] yeah [13:23] thanks :) [13:23] sajuuk: you can try to reduce OOo's memory footprint by editing the settings in Tools-Options-Memory settings [13:23] not that I'm aware of - shouldn't, I guess, as I have no such card [13:24] Hi guys [13:24] I have a question :) [13:24] rightio [13:24] sajuuk: the fact that it saves copies for restoring proves that it can save documents in principle. [13:24] nazgjunk: i see... well then you're probably using ati which is always not the best thing to do with ubuntu - i have no experience with that too, sry [13:24] yep [13:24] sajuuk: you're not trying to save to a network location? [13:24] nope to my home folder [13:25] i just did in terminal : metacity --replace [13:25] sajuuk: why? [13:25] I'm sorry:I give up [13:25] it puts my compiz at minimum apparently, so it gives me a little more memory to work with [13:25] This is just more trouble than its worth [13:26] but that is not the case [13:26] i will do your solution now [13:26] Why all other installs work and mine always doesn is beyond me [13:26] and see what happens [13:26] maybe ill try again in the future [13:26] eviltim: try it on another machine [13:26] eviltim, what have you tried so far? [13:27] Apparently ubuntu just wont install grub [13:27] it crshes teh install screen [13:27] hi guys [13:27] and doesnt install anything [13:27] *the [13:27] ok im in the memory bit, what should i decrease? [13:27] Q.) is it possible to see who's connected to your wireless network in 'bunts ??? [13:27] eviltim, have you tried to manually install grub before then? [13:27] yes [13:27] sajuuk: the number of undo steps [13:28] it doesnt work [13:28] ok, i halved it [13:28] I cant take any more frustration [13:28] mind you, i havent done enough steps to undo 100 steps [13:28] maybe in a couple of years,when the installer works better [13:28] Da_Putzler, if you're router supports it you can check it in the router, I dunno if its possible through ur wireless connection, seeing as ur not administrating the network ur in, ur just connected to it [13:28] nope that didnt work? === will_ is now known as wdaniels [13:28] work. [13:28] I dont need to dual-boot [13:28] i will take the steps to 0 [13:29] lejon: no router, I just use masq to share an internet connection thru wireless to my laptop [13:29] 'morning [13:29] sajuuk: that's going to far :) [13:29] ahh, dual boot...I'm having an issue with that also [13:29] its an extreme [13:29] but I have to do it [13:29] sajuuk: 20 or so are good. Reduce the other values as well [13:29] I know winblows lets you see who's connected, but I cant figure out how to do it for 'bunts [13:30] yes,no-one is paying atention [13:30] goodbye for a few years [13:30] Da_Putzler, Then you should be able to through monitor mode, if ur wireless card support it, otherwise you could try to run wireshark in promiscious mode to see if anyone but ur comp sends packets through ur connection [13:30] eviltim: we're paying attention [13:30] for me dual-boot worked rather perfectly [13:30] eviltim: you should try the alternate CD [13:31] didn't have to fool around that much to get it to work [13:31] why? [13:31] thx lejon [13:31] ill just spend another 2 hours downloading it [13:31] Da_putzler, no problem :P [13:31] and it wont work again [13:31] !alternate | eviltim [13:31] eviltim: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD.

[13:32] my problem is this..I am a newb...so I printed the directions from Ubuntu on setting up a dual boot...I get to the partioning window....the instructions say to resize the windows partition...using the size button...I never see a size button...

[13:33] modoc: server is more suitable [13:33] ok i put steps to 1, settings are decreased [13:33] modoc: I'd use the minimal cd personally. [13:33] no save [13:33] hey, I just sort of got past it, dirtily [13:33] open office seems to be broken [13:33] maybe ill buy the free cd at some point [13:33] modoc: But if you already have the Server CD, that works great too [13:33] Pici: what If I have no network connection? Will the minimal still do? [13:33] sajuuk: that's too early to conclude [13:33] Im going to enjoy my life [13:34] you are right, what is next? [13:34] modoc: Not really, you kinda need the network for that. [13:34] i just bought a laptop and i will give it to my sister and she's in the philippines (asia), do i need some type of voltage converter? or will the laptop's adaptor do the job? [13:34] where are you buying said laptop? [13:34] hahahaha: usually the adapter will do the conversion [13:34] hahahaha: better to ask in ##hardware [13:34] an adapter is a transformer [13:35] czesc damski meski [13:35] HELLO!IIF ANYONE CAN HEAR ME,I WISHED THE INSTALLER WOULD ACTUALLY WORK [13:35] sajuuk: do you have any filesystems that are full? df -h [13:35] cristi ROMANIA [13:35] no full filesystems, no [13:36] im pretty damn sure, i got 50 gig on this [13:36] Hello, I have few questions about RAID 1 on ubuntu [13:36] How does it work ?

[13:36] eviltim: behave, please [13:36] I have hardware raid enabled, and i've created one RAID 1 disk, but I see two in the installation. [13:36] HOW [13:36] im jsut too mad [13:36] eviltim, if you would've read the messages I sent to you you would have understod that we are trying to hlep [13:36] help* [13:36] aye [13:37] IT isnt working [13:37] thats ok [13:37] I have terrible luck [13:37] ill just get a free cd [13:37] hardy didnt work for me at all [13:37] Blue112, if you have a hardware raid, you should only see one disk [13:37] eviltim, you'll have to say more than its just isn't working, how is it not working? [13:37] but i got it after 2 days of working out [13:37] eviltim: What type of install have you tried? Wubi? Or the Live CD? [13:37] eviltim, join /j #lejon and ill try to help you there [13:37] frostburn: But i see two. [13:37] hi [13:37] Wubi= Alternate? [13:37] if an app messes up my mouse in X that it doesn't move, is there something I can do to bring it back? [13:37] The grub installer isnt working,how mant times do i have to say it? [13:37] hmmm, heyyas [13:37] wubi= the windows installer [13:37] sajuuk: Wubi is the 'windows isntaller' [13:37] oh btw, i have 30gig of freespace [13:38] without ctrl+alt+backspace... [13:38] so nothing wrong there [13:38] sajuuk: can you kill OOo, do a 'mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/openoffice.org2-backup' and try again? [13:38] when the installer gets to the grub part (around 95 percent) it crashes [13:38] Blue112, verify that the raid is working through the controllers bios after a reboot? [13:38] ok i can do that [13:38] eviltim: Grub is not an installer type, Which install are you using? [13:38] its done this 3 times now [13:38] Blue112: is your "hardware RAID" configured via BIOS? then it probably isn't really hardware RAID, but so called "fake-RAID". if that's the case, you really want to disable the RAID in BIOS and use software RAID instead [13:38] frostburn: Currently it's installing... [13:38] hi guys [13:38] !raid > Blue112 [13:38] when the live cd installer gets to 95 percent [13:38] magnetron: Yes, it's created by bios [13:38] i just installed ubuntu for my first time, [13:39] eviltim: have you run the CD integrity check?

[13:41] it says grub has undergone a fatal error [13:41] eviltim: then how about trying alternate cd [13:41] eviltim: is it the grub part?

[13:44] i have 256 mb of ram, this is being used up by OO, and by my rhythmbox player [13:44] i turned off rhythmbox [13:44] as in quit it, and I managed to fix the problem [13:44] sajuuk: have you run memtest? [13:44] memtest via grub? [13:45] yup [13:45] sajuuk: Do you have swap space partitioned and in use? [13:45] sajuuk: how large's your swap? [13:45] ok give me a second to access that [13:45] ok,ill download the alternate in a few days,when i come back from my vacation [13:46] And ill try that [13:46] If that doesnt work,I will ask here for help [13:46] i cant find the damn thingy for ram and swap readouts... [13:46] does anyone even use swap any more? [13:46] sajuuk: free [13:46] Hello again, how could I install two Apache-php-mysql version into the same pc ? [13:47] gordonjcp: yes, when they have 256MB of RAM [13:47] ahh [13:47] hi there, how can I modify just one key on my keyboard from within gnome? [13:47] i have 256 mb of RAM, i have to have a swap [13:47] soundray: fair point [13:47] Goodbye [13:47] gordonjcp, I always set it up (even with 4Gb of RAM), 2Gb of HD space from 500Gb is nothing and if I ever need it better to have it than not [13:47] what is a swap for? [13:47] soundray: all the articles I've ever read about swap talk about the extravagance of having 24MB swap when you've got 8MB RAM, kind of thing [13:47] Goodbye [13:47] gordonjcp, i use swap and i have 4gb dual channel ddr2 [13:47] I would like the backspace key to be a | [13:48] bye time [13:48] bye tim* [13:48] How do I copy from Firefox to Eterm? [13:48] >sajuuk, if the system allocates all the physical ram it can use a partition on the disk as virtual memory [13:48] ahh ok [13:48] It seems like shift insert does Eterm <--> Eterm only. [13:48] Bet he'll be back in a minute [13:48] >sajuuk, downside is than hd speeds are 2 orders of magnitude lower than RAM [13:48] How could I install two Apache-php-mysql version into the same pc ? [13:48] Blue112, just put them in different places [13:48] ChaosTheory_: try highlight - middle mouse button [13:49] jeed: How do I do that ? [13:49] sajuuk: try sysctl vm.swappiness=5 if you dont want it to use the swap unless absolutely necessary [13:49] rightio, i didnt get that last bit, sharpe :) i just take that the HDD runs slower? [13:49] soundray: HOLY COW thats awesome. O_O [13:49] ok my 'free' read out came out with [13:49] >sajuuk, roughly yes, a good single HD will transfer 50-60Mb/s, average RAM in a mediocre machine ~5000Mb/s [13:49] a high end machine nearer 10,000Mb/s [13:49] ChaosTheory_ has just discovered mouse button pasting :) [13:49] Blue112, with package managers you usually cant, but most hosting enviroments like to source compile all their stuff and then you get to choose where it goes [13:50] 3mb free for ramm and a good 500 mb for my swap [13:50] that might be a problem [13:50] is there a howto on getting evolution filtering junk mail? i searched the ubuntu forums and installed + started spamassasin [13:50] but alas it doesnt filter [13:50] sajuuk: how much swap is used? [13:50] jeed: Source compiling is long and makes problem (depencies) [13:50] not much, 176 mb out of the 698 [13:50] whilst i have a full ram chip [13:51] sajuuk: that's not too bad. [13:51] When I plug my media player in (in GNOME), Rhythmbox automatically starts up and opens it. Is it possible to configure ubuntu so the same happens with amarok instead? [13:51] Blue112, not long if your a hosting server, and its pretty trivial to install a few dependancies and in turn get better security and control over your business :) [13:51] sajuuk: but if you can upgrade, it's definitely worth doing [13:51] do what? [13:51] upgrade what? sorry i totally missed what u r referring to [13:51] sharperguy: System-Preferences-Removable drives and media [13:52] sajuuk: the amount of RAM [13:52] ahh [13:52] soundray, thanks [13:52] hi guys [13:52] hello, what's teh best way to back up a system? Is it possible to just rsync everything to another disk, or is that hard because of active components like a DB etc. [13:52] ? [13:52] I dont think that will happen :) its a 4yr old laptop with ddr 1 ram in it [13:52] jeed: And what about if I need very accurate apache version ? [13:52] exit [13:52] Blue112, then download and compile the source for it, wheres the problem? [13:53] cq, for DBs you must use a db specific tool [13:53] cq: rsync is fine for backing up. Databases should be backed up separately IMO [13:53] !backup | cq [13:53] cq: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:53] thanks [13:53] !sbackup | cq [13:53] cq: sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [13:53] I have a problem with my netcard. I downloaded ieee80211-1.2.8 and tried to update it on my Ubuntu Hardy. As part of the make procedure, it suggested that I removed the old ieee80211 that I had installed and proceeded with compiling, but the compiling failed and now my netcard wont work. It reports missing symbols. How can I fix this? [13:53] I just want the system synced to an external disk [13:53] I don't need incrementals [13:53] Blue112, it is very unlikely that you need a version newer than the one available on the repos [13:54] random question does kde use less RAM than GNOME? [13:54] joaopinto: I need an older version [13:54] cq: have a look at rsync docs -- very useful. unison is interesting, too [13:54] The 2.0.55 [13:54] soundray, that doesn't seem to have an option for media devices [13:54] sajuuk: no [13:54] Blue112, why? [13:55] soundray- I use rsync for data backups all teh time, just wondering if it does entire systems, or the DBs cause a problem etc. [13:55] c.etree.org [13:55] weird, cos i can play rhythm box and have a whole lot more stuff open and still save work via OO [13:55] jeed: Cause it's the "stable" version that I currently use. [13:55] sharperguy: oops, indeed, it doesn't on hardy. It used to in gutsy. Sorry, I don't know then. [13:55] Blue112, then wheres your problem? :S [13:56] cq, doing a filesystem based backup of a DB will most likely get you an inconsistent restore [13:56] how to record the audio from mms [13:56] I have a new server [13:56] sharperguy: in hardy open nautilus then edit>prefs>media but no easy way to change default apps to use [13:56] joaopinto: ok, so backup the system with Rsync, ignore DBs and back them up separately [13:56] and I want it to have the repositories apache version AND the same version that the older [13:56] :) [13:56] cq, yes [13:56] simple enough, thanks [13:56] oh another question, KDE doesn't detect some of my external drives, such as my memory stick, Ipod and such [13:57] but GNOME does [13:57] legend2440, hmm, i see.

"sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -n 4g /dev/mmcblk0p1" says "unable to open /dev/mmcblk0p1" [13:58] it is umounted [13:58] Blue112, youll have to src compile one way or the other, use a package manager and itll screw it up [13:58] an SD card [13:58] jeed: Where do I find the 2.0.55 apache src ? [13:58] cecko: how about mkfs.vfat?

[14:03] voy, the apt tools can do that. :) or the bot here.. seems to be in the kernel image packages.. [14:03] thx for that dr_Willis [14:04] Hello everyone.. Simple question here I hope... Anyone know why when I load then try to RESTORE Amarok music player rand organizer it decides to log me out of ubuntu???!!! [14:04] jeed: Ok, the two version are compiling...

[14:05] Blue112, use --prefix= in the configure line and do something like, put apache in /usr/local/apache with its php in /usr/local/apache/php and put the others in /usr/local/apache2 and /usr/local/apache2/php, then they dont go near eachother [14:05] hey anyone using a 64 bit build of firefox 3 beta 5 on linux?

We should have checked whether logging out & in would have been enough, or even just reloading nm-applet [14:12] i got vista on it now..and it works without a problem so i doubt my monitor or vid card [14:13] joaopinto: native [14:13] hi Jeroen__ [14:13] Agion, run it from the terminal and check for any error messages [14:13] as far as I know vista doesn't like when you dual boot, search the forum for dual-boot howto, there are quite a few [14:13] when it goes down? [14:13] i hope ill like ubuntu more than vista [14:13] My Java wont work.. i just install it with synaptic and nothing happens. about:plugins show nothing about java [14:13] vista is a pain if you want my opinion xD [14:14] can someone tell me iff gps is working in Buntu 8.4? [14:14] Pezi: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [14:14] lejon, vista has no problems with dual boot [14:14] hi all.

[14:15] lejon, that is most like a lack of understanding (user's problem) [14:15] What did you install first, vista or ubuntu?

Really my question is: when i'll check the "enable this conection" checkbox, which setting/config file is it modifing on disk so I can reproduce this setup on my automated installation disk (customized alternate CD) [14:18] eix, that is a severe problem, either because of a kernel bug, a fault driver, or an hw fault [14:18] joaopinto, its all just to configure both OSes a little and you get it to work, Ive had to do that [14:18] jeroen__: most all-in-one satnavs come only with Windows software. It's difficult to maintain them with Linux (planning routes, uploading maps etc.) [14:18] joaopinto: any ideas? How could I shut down the game when it errors to see the error? [14:19] @soundray so its not a good idea? [14:19] Agion, if you run it from the terminal in case there is an error it should be logged there [14:19] !list [14:19] so [14:19] if you quit from the game you should be able to see it [14:19] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [14:19] or should i use wine?

How it works? or that it didn't work with different desktop backgrounds? [14:28] Why everytime when i open synaptic ask to update prog list? [14:28] Pezi, so that when you do a search the list is always up to date [14:28] pezi, so that you always can find the latest packages [14:28] in gps drive how do i import the netherlands map? [14:28] but everytime? [14:28] weird, amarok is pegging the cpu at 8-12% when its sat in the tray not playing anything.. [14:28] no one heard of my numlock problem?

[14:33] yeah [14:33] Theo_: you're wanting to do loops? Or are you wanting to perform a function? [14:33] synttry it a few times and try with other shift key a few times [14:33] loops [14:33] synt try it a few times and try with other shift key a few times [14:33] Theo_, there is no such feature on bash, "goto" is banned from structured programming [14:33] function do_something { commands } then just call do_something in the script [14:34] I think you might need to read a basic introduction to bash scripting - there are a fair few out there if you google. [14:34] why is it banned? windows still has it? [14:34] sorry should have said, goto is replaced with functions since bash isnt a retarded basic clone ;) [14:34] Theo, windows doesnt have goto, windows scripting language does which says a great deal about MS [14:34] any1 using kiba dock ??? [14:34] thanks [14:35] Theo_, erm, I mean it is considered to be a bad practice, a well structured algorithm does not "go to" :P [14:35] but in mine at the end of my script it says "there was a problem. hit enter to try again" how do i make it try again? [14:36] goto is considered a dangerous command in *any* program language since it allows you to escape from any block of code and are unpredictable, you can jump from any point to any other point [14:36] Aron Xie [14:36] of course goto can be useful but you need to be sufficently competent to know when its acceptible to use a goto [14:36] TheFool, try again implies a loop, something that you repeat until the answer is "no" [14:36] read about creating loops [14:36] only time I (rarely) use them is to escape from a deeply nested function [14:36] is there a way to add directorys to the "places" menu in gnome to customise it ?

[14:43] ok [14:43] I'll file a bug report so you don't have to if it affects me :-) [14:44] (see PM for email address) [14:44] Lunar_Lamp: thanks :) [14:45] legend2440, wee post #3 helped [14:45] lunar lamp: do u know how to install kiba dock ? [14:45] synt ok good [14:45] Hi everyone... I'm new to linux and havn't used IRC in over 10 years :) ... was wondering if someone would like to help me with a newb query regarding how to use chmod... any volunteer? [14:45] what file type does it come as? [14:45] thank you very much legend2440 [14:45] prabu: I seem to recall there being some good guides on ubuntuforums.org - but I haven't used it in aaaages, so I'm not familiar. [14:45] Chosen320: in what facet ? [14:45] hi, do you guys know how to make shortcuts in terminal commands? I'm tired of typing "gnome-terminal" and wish i could only type "term" [14:46] chmod isn't too bad - its a google answer tho [14:46] PPKuma: man alias [14:46] Chosen320 that's what we're here for. [14:46] ok [14:46] PPKuma: Add an alias to your ~/.bashrc [14:46] thanks dbmoodb1 [14:46] PPKuma: edit your ~/.bashrc file to include something like: alias term=gnome-terminal [14:47] Sorry, that "gnome-terminal" should be in single quotes: 'gnome-terminal' [14:47] However, I would be curious to know why you're typing "gnome terminal" to open a new terminal anyway :-) [14:47] hi all, i have my server's NTFS windows drives mounted via SMB on my ubuntu 8.04 64-bit install, but the character encoding is causing issues. [14:47] I, personally, use the keyboard shortcuts in gnome to bind "win+t" to open a new terminal. [14:47] daftykins: how so ? [14:47] i've got a music folder of the band "KoRn" but with the backwards "R" and it fails to read it and the contents within [14:47] any solutions? [14:48] hello i´m from argentina [14:48] Thanks... I'll chat to dbmoodb1 [14:48] daftykins: amarok it :) [14:48] ja i'm using amarok [14:48] oh thanks for the welcome [14:48] well why not just fix the naming [14:48] but it's a file system issue, not a player issue [14:48] !es | L7D [14:48] L7D: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [14:48] daftykins: you might want to try the samba channel - that is probably not ubuntu specific, and I'm not sure of the way to edit samba encoding issues, but I'm sure it's a simple config file edit. [14:48] yeah i have temporarily renamed them to fix, but i'm a perfectionist ;) [14:49] ok thanks Lunar_Lamp [14:49] good idea [14:49] <@ ubottu @>· thanks, but i´m trying to talk in english [14:49] hi, who knows hot to change input device to record with sox? [14:50] hey, could someone help me with getting the sound to work on a MacBook? [14:50] how can I check if my network card is in full duplex mode. [14:51] jatt: sudo ethtool eth [14:51] hey all, i am running grub-update to update my grub, to hold the new kernel , it says it finds the kernel, but it doesn't add it to /etc/grub/menu.lst. any reason why? [14:51] so on a random note - anyone seen the new indy film? [14:51] !ot [14:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:52] sorry it was just a jpke [14:52] Hi there, i've the dvd iso of hardy...i installed it..but i think it made a minimum install(like installing from cdrom)...i want some extra packages to instal..but when i use package manager and select what i need, it tries to download the packages..but i've the dvd so no need to download ..right..how can i fix this ? [14:52] L7D: solo para que lo supieras ;) [14:52] erUSUL: great that's it, thanks. I get: [14:52] Duplex: Full [14:52] jatt: no problem [14:52] hi, can someone please help me with sound on a MacBook? [14:53] what package is tr part of? [14:53] !sources > Keddy [14:53] <^ick> praz: whats the problem? [14:54] i followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ to get the sound to work [14:54] and it isn't [14:54] hello, someone is using hardy php5 (version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1)? it seems like it has a bug interpreting HEREDOC string syntax... can someone try and see if this ( http://pastebin.org/42803 ) runs well on it? [14:54] not quite sure what to do next... [14:55] Keddy: put the DVD in the drive, and in the package manager click on Tools > Repositories. On the 'Ubuntu Software' tab at the bottom you should be able to add the DVD to the list of used repositories [14:56] back shortly [14:56] salve [14:56] Lunar_Lamp i just add it the alias to my bashrc file. Does this modification work when i run the command with alt+f2? [14:56] *Will this [14:57] buonasera [14:57] PPKuma: no, it won't. [14:57] ok, so i'm stuck at install software. any suggestions? [14:57] Alt+F2 is not a terminal, sorry, I think we may have misunderstood you. [14:57] i mean, do i need to finish the "install software" step or is that just for extrs? [14:58] The alias will only work when you type it in a terminal (which is why I wondered why you wanted to do it) [14:58] I see... [14:58] how to [14:58] any idea on how to do it? [14:58] Zubbb: I tested it, and it fails, but if you use a diff terminating string, its fine [14:59] PPKuma: are you sure that creating a launcher (icon) to click isn't a better solution? [14:59] i just updated firefox and now it doesn't seem to launch anymore. does anyone else have the same problem? [14:59] Lunar_Lamp: i already have one... but im a mouse detractor. [14:59] is there a web browser better than firefox [14:59] no [14:59] What's the right file for adding environment variables and stuff? .profile, .bashrc? [14:59] rouini: no NO! NOT EVER! [14:59] !best | rouini [14:59] rouini: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:00] I've used Opera with Ubuntu an found it quite satisfactory [15:00] rouini: Firefox which has been optimised for your system. [15:00] rouini: j/k there's a lot of browsers, check out Opera and Safari, they are pretty neat too [15:00] why might i run into a problem in the (select and install software) portion of my xubuntu installation? [15:00] safari is not for linux [15:00] i just saw that firefox has been updated to rc1. i can't see the logic - if the final release is going to be out soon, then why update to rc1? [15:01] and if at all update, why to rc1, and not rc2? [15:01] Isn't Safari for Apple? [15:01] OSX and windows [15:01] >rohan, standard way of doing it [15:01] Zubbb: are you posting a bug report? [15:01] rohan: how do you see its RC1? i cant even see the version number [15:01] rohan: rc1 is only aviable on proposed for beta esting afaics [15:01] danbhfive, it works on other php5 servers and on php4 [15:01] it goes Alpha, Beta, RC, Release, or if your MS, Alpha, Release [15:01] andersfeder: apt-cache version firefox [15:01] danbhfive, will do it [15:01] rouini: some people like Opera which you might like to test. It's free, but closed source. [15:01] can somebody explain this to me, why is it happening? http://pastebin.com/m77337d7 [15:01] rohan: ok ok, ty [15:01] andersfeder: err i am sorry - apt-cache policy firefox-3.0 [15:01] Zubbb: do you know what the bug is? [15:01] rouini: others enjoy using Konqueror and Epipheny (KDE and Gnome browsers respectively) [15:02] rohan: sorry i see it on update now [15:02] erUSUL: so, i don't have proposed enabled, yet i'm getting it [15:02] right :) [15:02] Zubbb: can you post the link of your bug report? [15:02] galeon [15:02] danbhfive, when i file it [15:02] hi guys [15:03] qa [15:03] anyone know anything about installing xubuntu? [15:03] stupidknight have you checked to see if ubuntu-keyring is installed? [15:03] cerco il canale in italiano , qualcuno sa aiutarmi? [15:03] IRC.TIN.IT [15:03] !it | leonardo [15:03] leonardo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [15:04] also, i did aptitude dist-upgrade and it wants to install lot of new python related packages, and apturl. which update is causing this? [15:04] grazie [15:04] PPKuma: if you install nautilus-open-terminal and reboot it adds a context menu so when you right click you have option Open Terminal from any folder. eliminates need for cd to folder and you can click it twice and have two instances of terminal open [15:04] nickrud: ah, installing the ubuntu-keyring helped, didn't think of that since it asked for debian-keyring :) new to this, tanks! [15:05] lunar_lamp :how make skype works better [15:05] legend2440 not necessary to reboot, just alt-f2 killall nautilus (restarts nautilus) will do [15:05] legend2440: that's rich, should i install it with apt-get? [15:05] rouini: define "better" - what's not working with it at the moment? [15:06] nickrud: ok thanks [15:06] wouldn be a way to make the shortcut (term -> gnome-terminal) with a symbolic link? [15:06] PPKuma: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [15:07] I've been using Ubuntu for 2 weeks now and find it to be an exceptional operating system. [15:07] idolguy: great :) [15:07] PPKuma you can assign a keycombo to open the terminal, but it opens in the home directory [15:07] idolguy: why 'idol'? do you dig japanese idols? xD [15:07] LUNAR_LAMP:is there a software work like skype [15:07] ok, this is my 5th time trying to install xubuntu. i've tried different mirror sites. every one has said it's a successful burn. i've tried the alternate install cd. i've had problems almost every step of the way [15:08] and now i'm stuck on "select and install software" [15:08] it just won't do it [15:08] nickrud: how about this issue, maybe you could help me with this one aswell, http://pastebin.com/d40420ffe [15:08] so stop using a modified version of ubuntu... [15:08] and use the normal... [15:08] Lol, PPKuma...just a nickname I've had for years... [15:08] surely you're not that desperate to use xfce. [15:08] rouini, there is skype [15:08] idolguy: oh, ok xD [15:08] daftykins: xubuntu is easier on resources [15:08] i know [15:08] daftykins: Maybe that's why he needs to use it [15:08] doesn't mean he can't install normal, then put xfce on that [15:08] it says "running tasksel" then "please wait" then it goes straight to INSTLLATION STEP FAILED [15:09] nickrud: ok, but i've grow esceptical with the keycombo... lately amarok is having problems with them. [15:09] interesting [15:09] and the bright red screen is starting to scare the children [15:09] Any long term disadvantages to using Wubi versus dual-booting Ubuntu on it's own partition? [15:09] stupidknight try installing libapache2-mod-php5 [15:09] rouini: you can install skype in ubuntu, but new ubuntu installs come with an equivalent application by default - but I've forgotten it's name. [15:09] yea, I do, but that' doesn't work either? [15:09] PPKuma ah, that's kde, whaddya expect ;) [15:09] nickrud: line 21 [15:09] idolguy: Yes, it's a bit more dangerous. A loss of power while running will be much worse than running it's own dedicated ext3 partition [15:10] idol, a couple occur, since your hosting linux inside windows you are still weaker froma security point of view [15:10] is it possible that there's a problem with tasksel that it doesn't want to run? [15:10] if you want to go solely linux you'll need to re-install [15:10] idolguy: Wubi is not a long term solution, some Windows updates have the potential to hose it [15:10] nickrud: hmmm... that explains a lot... so, how do i make the combokey? [15:10] nickrud: It gives me the error that I don't have PHP5, Yet I do when I go installing php5 [15:10] how to extract iso image in ubuntu [15:10] the release you downloaded should have been labelled broken and not been available to use if setup wouldn't even work xTOGx [15:10] i just updated firefox and now it doesn't launch. does anyone else have the same issue? [15:10] PPKuma system->prefs->keyboard shortcuts, look for open the terminal. [15:10] ASULutzy: why is that? how does wubi work? [15:11] Hmm. Can I convert my installation to a partioned system without losing my saved data/bookmarks/programs? [15:11] delete ".mozilla" in your home folder poosenki [15:11] ne2k__: There's a nice wiki article that can sum it up much better than I can, let me find it [15:11] nickrud: hmmm pretty cool, thanks a lot :) [15:11] idolguy: well, you could back up the /home directory to an external disk and then restore it, if nothing else [15:11] ne2k__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu) [15:11] i need to know before i finish my installation if anyone knows that not installig the software will screw the pooch [15:11] stupidknight there's an error about unmatching packages, php5-common not being correct. Sounds like mismatched sources. put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on the pastebin [15:11] stupidknight didn't read far enough down, sorry :) [15:12] nickrud: :) np [15:12] nickrud: one sec. [15:12] rouini: it's called ekiga! That's the one, ekiga is a free skype-like applicatin that comes with ubutnu. [15:13] lunar_lamp: thank you my friend [15:13] If you have a wubi install and want to move it to a dedicated partition, you can follow this article http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [15:13] nickrud: got stuck in the "spam" filter. http://rafb.net/p/5d6Crj19.html [15:13] daftkins: alright, i tried that, but it still doesn't open [15:13] commented out the top once now only to try the earlier once [15:13] ASULutzy: cool. it says it's a file on windows -- does that mean it's reliant on the NTFS support in linux? I thought that was a bit iffy [15:13] lunar_lamp: how to extract ISO image in Ubuntu [15:13] you folder was definitely entirely deleted? [15:14] ne2k__: NTFS support has come a long long way, I would consider NTFS to be 100% supported now? [15:14] my recently upgraded 8.04 fails to hibernate... how can i start to resolve this issue? what log files do i have to look at? [15:14] !iso | rouini [15:14] rouini: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [15:14] stupidknight ok, those are really crippled sources. A sec [15:14] rouini: extract? Do you want to burn it, mount it, read the contents? [15:14] ASULutzy: ok, I must be on old info [15:14] i wouldn't say 100% [15:14] ne2k__: I read and write to most of my shared hard drives (which are NTFS) all day without any problems [15:14] nickrud: nice [15:15] daftykins: Why not? [15:15] Ubuntu has had quite good NTFS support for the 2 weeks I've been using it. [15:15] 'cause it'll continue to change, such as with Vista etc, and i don't think Ubuntu would set up NTFS mounts as read only if it was perfect [15:15] 100% to me means perfect [15:15] I remember back in the day it was like the end of the world if you mounted NTFS in anything other than read only mode, but now there's really no problem so far as I can tell [15:16] hehe [15:16] ASULutzy: aye, I remember those days too, hehe. [15:16] Ubuntu doesn't set up NTFS as read only? You might not have permissions to write to the drive and need to be root if you didn't chown the stuff, but I can make files on an NTFS drive with Ubuntu out of the box [15:16] lunar-lamp:i want read its contents [15:17] ah ok my bad [15:17] maybe they changed that? [15:17] i don't even try to use NTFS [15:17] my file server's network based so i just use SMB [15:17] so it's never come up really [15:17] daftykins: Probably, NTFS used to be trouble, but now a days, it just sorta works ;) [15:17] rouini: then follow the link that ubottu sent you so that you can "mount" the iso. When you have mounted it in a mountpoint, (a directory), travel to that directory to see the contents of the disc image. [15:17] ok, so i think i've just installed xubuntu [15:17] i just updated firefox and now it doesn't launch anymore. does anyone know how to fix this? [15:18] xTOGx: grats :P [15:18] I found the answer to my question..I can transfer a Wubit installation to a regular partitioned system with LVPM. [15:18] poosenki, just reboot, i had the same issue [15:18] thanks :P [15:18] but all i've done is log in [15:18] daftykins, there is a ntfs-3g project they provide stable read/write access [15:18] idolguy: I posted the link somewhere up there idolguy on how to do it :P [15:18] is it supposed to look similar to a DOS prompt? [15:18] FYI i do not need everybody telling me about NTFS support now thanks [15:18] i am not stupid. [15:18] I changed the program that Ubuntu uses .exe (I thought I had to change it to wine, but it wasn't a windows executable), and now I need to change it back to the default. Can someone tell me what program that is? [15:18] !ntfs-3g | daftykins [15:18] daftykins: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [15:18] -_- [15:19] lol [15:19] Thanks, ASULutzy [15:19] You asked for that one on the end :P [15:19] you're lucky nobody has invented that device to stab people through the Internet icqnumber... [15:19] joaopinto: oh, alright. thanks [15:19] halp plz? [15:19] stupidknight do cd /etc/apt ; cp sources.list sources.list.pre-nickrud ; gksu gedit sources.list then replace yours with what's here : http://rafb.net/p/wl7PKr98.html [15:19] how can i search inside doc files? [15:19] stupidknight when you're done, let me know [15:20] naruttebayo: Ubuntu doesn't open .exe's by default [15:20] naruttebayo: Those are Windows executables, not Linux executables. [15:20] naruttebayo: The only thing that opens .exe's in Ubuntu is wine [15:20] Hi, my Ubuntu hardy is booting into low graphics mode. running nvidia-setting says its not using the nvidia drivers but they show up in the restricted hardware drivers. I tried installing the drivers directly from nvidias site but it still isn't working. [15:20] daftykins, ? [15:20] So how can I open a binary executable? It said it was a linux release (I'm trying to install stepmania). [15:20] Greetings all, does anyone know how i can use auto login and not have to enter the keychain password for nm-applet (when joining wirelessnetwork)? [15:20] if I login manually, i don't have to enter the keychain password. [15:21] hey nickrud, you dont work for CISP do you? [15:21] naruttebayo: You must have downloaded the wrong file. .exe is not a native linux file. It's a windows file [15:21] nickrud: yea, I'm done [15:21] xTOGx no, don't even know what that is [15:21] how can i search inside doc files in gnome? i've lots of docs files and i want to find a string inside them, how can i do this? [15:21] nm [15:21] nickrud: should I do the apt-get update and try installing it all now? [15:21] stupidknight ok, now run sudo apt-get update [15:21] nickrud: done! [15:21] lets see if I remember my dapper sources right first [15:21] naruttebayo: http://www.stepmania.com/download.php?file=downloads/StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz you want this [15:21] ok, try installing stuff [15:21] icqnumber, i don't appreciate being told what i know. [15:22] nickrud: yea, same error. [15:22] man i'm so lost [15:22] nickrud: unmet dependencies.. [15:22] i just installed xubuntu, and now i have no idea what i'm doing [15:22] stupidknight: try a sudo apt-get upgrade [15:22] xTOGx: lol, so why'd you install it :P [15:22] rofl :P [15:22] danbhfive: nice, stuff is happening [15:22] becuase its fun [15:22] xTOGx: There's probably a #xubuntu channel [15:23] pmk: microsoft word doc files are usually encoded, but you can use grep -in "string" *.doc [15:23] best way to learn right ASULutzy? [15:23] fair enough [15:23] stupidknight then possibly that plesk has installed a php of it's own that conflicts with php in dapper [15:23] xTOGx: Well, I would argue installing it to a VM would be better, but sure ;) [15:23] Kootie: let me test it... [15:23] Hello [15:23] installed Gnome the other day (used KDE for 6 years) just to play with it [15:23] nickrud: yea, possibly, plesk has been nothing but trouble so far.. [15:23] Anyone here a pidgin ace? [15:23] well, i've got a machine that's been frankensteined together, it needed an OS [15:23] xTOGx: those machines are always the most fun [15:23] I think I screwed up my pidgin and now can't unscrew it up [15:24] !ask | Gemmie78 [15:24] Gemmie78: 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. :-) [15:24] ASULutzy oh, i know. lemme tell ya. fun fun fun [15:24] so doesn't ubuntu use a gui? and if so, how do i make it work? [15:25] Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE and XUbuntu uses XFCE [15:25] is there an alternative to Rhythmbox or Banshee that will respect all the retagging I've done? [15:25] * xTOGx blinks audibly [15:25] Kootie: thanks! nautilus can't search inside files? [15:25] xTOGx: not so loud :) [15:25] not sure pmk, i mostly use command line [15:26] ok, so i'm on xubuntu, i'm using XFCE. how do i turn it on? [15:26] :P === mmshanks is now known as mshanks [15:26] turn what on... [15:26] the gui [15:26] Basically I removed something from the top panel, which was related to pidgin, now when I close pidgin by clicking on the "X" the program will quit, beforehand I think it used to minimise === SplinTer0616_ is now known as SplinTer0616 [15:26] xTOGx well I am in california, but I don't teach at the international studies program === EGU is now known as ExGearUser [15:26] so you logged in and you see nothing? [15:26] daftykins, did not look like that [15:26] stupidknight I'd suggest trying to root out all the plesk stuff. tedious, obscure, but doable [15:26] I want to go back to the program minimising when I "X" it, but playing around with one of the options doesn't help [15:26] icqnumber, then look closer next time [15:26] Is there a way to readd the pidgin thing back to the panel? [15:26] i'm logged in, i see black and white prompt [15:27] try startx [15:27] ah it's just given you a terminal [15:27] no he's got X [15:27] just no window manager [15:27] says nathan@ubuntu:~$ [15:27] by the sounds of it [15:27] indeed [15:27] DarkAudit: I <3 amarok, lots of other people like it too, check it out [15:27] daftykins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:27] daftykins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:27] ok type "sudo su [15:27] enter your password, and then type "apt-get update" [15:27] Anyone? [15:27] daftykins better is to use sudo -i [15:27] dafty, startx doesnt just startx its a script that will start X11 then whatever WM/DE is default [15:27] daftykins, do blame things u have never tried, bacause you have said that u have never used ntfs [15:28] no i said i've not used it recently, seriously just drop it icqnumber [15:28] ASULutzy: I'm thinking *real* hard about that one :) [15:28] cool, it did something [15:28] i told you i wasn't happy you telling me something i'm already familiar with, so let it go thanks [15:28] now "apt-get dist-upgrade" xTOGx [15:28] DarkAudit: I love it, I know it looks kinda funny in Gnome being a "KDE" app, but it's got more functionality than any other player I've encountered [15:28] it got some stuff, and said reading package lists... Done [15:28] tell me if it asks to install any programs [15:28] ok good that sounds like it's fine [15:29] is it prompting to install anything? [15:29] apt-get dist-upgrade came back with a bunch of 0's [15:29] iirc xubuntu doesnt install a login manager by default (lean and mean remember) so you need to type startx when you login [15:29] nickrud: yea, I'm thinking about it. One question though, how come I can login as root on my ubuntu installation? running 6.06, thought that root was disabled? [15:29] zeros 0o [15:29] its not any more complicated than that with a default install [15:29] try "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" xTOGx [15:29] stupidknight: You can enable root logins if you go out of your way to allow it [15:30] ASULutzy: k. [15:30] ASULutzy: I've tried it before and really liked it... rhythbox is mangling tags even after I ran my mp3s through Picard :p [15:30] stupidknight do sudo -i to get root terminal [15:30] !root | stupidknight [15:30] stupidknight: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:30] heh that's a nice factoid ubottu [15:30] Basically I want to restore the panel that pidgin used to have at the top [15:30] syas its gonna use more drive space... it wants me to insert the cd [15:30] !noroot [15:30] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [15:30] It was like partially green if someone sent you a message [15:30] Hello. I have quite a problem.. I try to boot into Ubuntu, but the desktop never loads. It becomes unresponsive other than moving the mouse or RSEIUB. [15:31] Gemmie78: I know how to fix it [15:31] Now it's gone, and as soon as I close the window, the program quits instead of staying active but hidden [15:31] icqnumber: although, when I ssh onto my password I actually do have root account with password [15:31] Hurrah :D [15:31] yeah as default it will be configured to get software packages from the CD, which'll be good if your internet connection is slow xTOGx [15:31] Gemmie78: I believe you can just open preferences, and under interface, have it say"Show system tray icon: Always" [15:31] err... virtual server [15:31] i'm on dsl [15:31] can i tell it to get from internet? [15:31] well just put the disc in and we'll worry about that later [15:31] It's currently on always [15:32] But I cannot see it [15:32] I want to invite few people from ubuntu to for invited lecture in our university technical festival. Where and whom to contact? [15:32] ok, i'll try the cdrom [15:32] Gemmie78 and if that doesn't work, right click the panel, add to panel, and add the system tray [15:32] nickrud: Oh lol, I didn't even think about not having the tray [15:32] hi all [15:32] In /var/log/gdm/:0.log.4 there are a few thousand lines of "tossed event which came in late. mieqEnequeue: out -of-order valuator event; dropping." [15:33] people, ubuntu don't have more inittab ? [15:33] Gemmie78 it's called the notification area in later ubuntus not the system tray [15:33] I want to invite few people from ubuntu to for invited lecture in our university technical festival. Where and whom to contact? can anybody help me [15:33] hat jemand ich hotwo für dualhead unter ubunt 8.04? [15:34] where I set one ubuntu if is init 2,3,4,5 if don't have more inittab ? [15:34] hello, I installed KDE 4 on my ubuntu installation on a toshiba satellite. At that time, I chose to not make KDE my default desktop environment. How can I make the switch now? [15:34] I cannot find the system tray [15:34] sorry fc [15:34] Okay cool looking now [15:34] Looks like I'll never get any help. [15:34] -.- [15:34] Bingo it's done [15:34] at the login screen press F10 kushal1, choose "select session" and change to KDE [15:34] Notification area is spot on, you're a legend [15:34] Kootie: there is a way to search inside pdf files too? [15:35] once you then enter your username and password it'll ask if you want to use KDE for just that login or for all future logins [15:35] thanks daftykins [15:35] np [15:35] hi, can anyone tell me if i can use audio in teamspeak 2 and amarok music player using pulse audio? [15:36] how can i read videos with rmvb format? [15:37] One more time. I boot my computer. When it goes to loading the desktop, it hangs. All becomes unresponsive except for moving the mouse. It never even gets to the login screen. Seemingly related, in /var/log/gdm/:0.log.4 there are a few thousand lines of "tossed event which came in late. mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping." === meydintorkiy is now known as made_in_turkey [15:37] pmk: im not sure, never really deal with them sorry [15:37] Can anyone give me ANY lead on my problem? [15:38] So now I shall try closing [15:38] Fantastic it works [15:38] is there a way to have ubuntu boot kinda like fedora where they have all the services loading you can hit f2 or what ever and see it or just keep the graphics up. they also have the mouse in that screen as well [15:38] i want my ubuntu to look like that [15:39] Fantastic, restoring the notification area works like a treat, fantastic, I'm so happy [15:39] Driver problems? Will downgrading Xorg help? [15:39] I'm glad you're happy Gemmie78. Got your Ubuntu system working. :) [15:39] I can't even get to the login screen! [15:40] I've been slowly tweaking my ubuntu [15:40] This is so much better than other OS's and I didn't have to pay a single cent [15:40] I'm slowly making no progress in fixing mine. [15:40] Don't neglect the other Linuxes, Gemmie. [15:40] I want to run Kubuntu for my mum on a really old laptop [15:40] I think it would be fine [15:40] Get familiar with Ubuntu, then try the others like Fedora, Slackware, hell.. even LFS. [15:40] erk that scared the life out of me, ubuntu using optical seems a bit sketchy with how my speakers work - it just fired a massive white noise burst through them [15:40] ok, i'm back. sorry, i need a new wireless router [15:41] what makes you think it's "better" than any other OS? [15:41] Yeah I need to get more familiar [15:41] Is there a way to have my mum automatically have firestarter running [15:42] It's annoying. =\ A lot of Ubuntu users will ask, "What's Linux?" [15:42] Is it possible to have the program always run, or run as soon as the computer boots [15:42] How could I check to see if the sed command "sed -n '/mom/ p' " gave any output? [15:42] Gemmie78, probably you want it to run when the user logs in, System -> Preferences -> Sessions [15:42] D46, as long as it works I'm happy [15:43] Anyway.. I better be going. Please try to help me with getting my installation to work. :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824607 [15:43] Gemmie78: you don't need to have firestarter on to have the firewall on... you did know that, right? [15:44] you get a working tty login D46? [15:44] Really? [15:44] how do ubuntu's update packages work? i want to get the latest version of pidgin without doing anything and was wondering when it'll happen automatically [15:44] Is it always on? [15:44] Gemmie78: the default firewall is iptables which is always on [15:44] It's saying it's already rec'vd 400+ mg [15:44] Gemmie78: firestarter is a frontend to iptables [15:44] MB ^ [15:44] it doesn't automatically update [15:44] qoncept: when the next version of Ubuntu is released [15:44] Gemmie78: and iptables is always on [15:44] Oh I see, so I'm running 2 firewalls? [15:44] Gemmie78: no [15:44] just iptables? [15:44] i mean like, using apt-get [15:45] qoncept, you only get security/critical bug fixes, not version updates [15:45] Gemmie78: firestarter is a *frontend* [15:45] Gemmie78: yes. [15:45] is there a way to do a terminal command to launch network paths [windows shared folders?] so I do not keep having to either bookmark them or mount them through the gui? [15:45] What do you mean by frontend? [15:45] If so, what's the point of firestarter? [15:45] Gemmie78: it's a graphical frontend to a commandline tool that is for many users quite hard to handle [15:45] you only set rules for iptables with firestarter [15:46] sudo apt-get upgrade; packages have been kept back: linux-generic ... linux-restricted-modules-generic [15:46] how come? [15:46] Gemmie78: its just a front end, some people like guis [15:46] I see [15:46] CarlFK: maybe you need dist-upgrade [15:46] Gemmie78: personally i still prefer iptables from command line, rather than ufw [15:46] So let me get this straight, basically the firewall is always running [15:47] CarlFK: if its 8.04 you want full-upgrade === meydintorkiy is now known as made_in_turkey [15:47] Gemmie78: yes [15:47] When I open firestarter, I'm basically opening a clean shiny version of iptable [15:47] Which in essence is always running in the background [15:47] Gemmie78: yes, firestarter just passes on the rules to iptables [15:47] Gemmie78: Yes, and iptables by default doesn't have any rules in it, so it's there, ot's just not really doing much, which is ok because by default Ubuntu has no open ports [15:48] Gemmie78: a firewall that is not switched on is running = no real firewall [15:48] Gemmie78: My suggestion would be if using iptables, script the firewall. iptables directly gives you a lot more control [15:48] I don't script and this is for my mum [15:48] I just want her to be safe online for obvious reasons [15:48] Gemmie78: you have to wrote the script [15:48] Gemmie78: will she be installing p2p software, http-servers, ftp-servers, etc? [15:48] I know Linux systems are less prone to attack in a way [15:48] But I still want to minimise her risk [15:49] Gemmie78: sshd? [15:49] Gemmie78: hosts allow and hosts deny then [15:49] Gemmie78: out of the box, she is safe enough [15:49] I see [15:49] /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny just for samba maybe ? [15:49] Am I able to run a server on a small desktop and on the same desktop have ubuntu running and browse the net? [15:49] Gemmie78: messing with a firewall will more likely cause her problems when you don't do it right [15:49] Gemmie78: unless you are installing any of the things Myrtti mentioned the default config is good enough [15:49] In a way multi task, have a small forum running for some college mates and do some research? [15:49] Okay sweet [15:50] Does anyone know how to check to see if the sed command "sed -n '/mom/ p' " gave any output when run on a file? [15:50] Gemmie78: yes. unix did multi everything back in the 70's, and has only gotten better :) [15:50] Gemmie78: welcome to a true multiuser multitasking os :) [15:51] cdecarlo, erm, you are telling him to be quiet, you will not get any output [15:51] hey [15:51] Gemmie78: are you planning to make her computer accessible to you with ssh? [15:51] i mean, cdeszaq [15:51] ubuntu is still having a hard time with speedtouch! damn it! [15:51] joaopinto: ? [15:51] Gemmie78: welcome to your new house. It has solid walls, doors, roof, etc. try to forget how things were in that old shack that had nice paint [15:51] cdecarlo, was for cdeszaq [15:52] hey any1 here happened to play gunz online on ubuntu??

[15:53] ProTToType If someone does they will answer.. obviously no one listening does [15:53] just like amarok/rythemnbox does [15:53] hello all [15:53] cdeszaq, erm, why are you using sed instead of grep ??? [15:53] ok, so i run apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. i get E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [15:54] So anywho I have about 10 people who want to use the server, maybe 3 at a time, I could run that on a celeron couldn't i [15:54] Something cheap and nasty? [15:54] You can get away with running a 1.8 celeron and 512 ram right? [15:54] Gemmie78: just make sure when you have problems you don't immediately remove and run back to windows, thats what a lot of people do. [15:54] existe a easy way to install the "RealPlayer"? [15:54] !realplayer [15:54] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:54] <^ick> I have played gunz online beta but it was long ago and on real windows, but it should work with wine [15:54] joaopinto: no particular reason, I was just using sed to process other parts of the stream, so sed was in my mind [15:54] i tried wine... none of da windows softwares r working [15:54] I'm one to stick it out, but I do have a windows PC which is my main Beast PC === meydintorkiy is now known as made_in_turkey [15:54] Legit copy of windows too which I got cheap in the US [15:55] joaopinto: is grep easier to use to determine if a pattern was found or not? [15:55] I'm currently on a laptop though, which has new life breathed into it by ubuntu [15:55] Gemmie78: what do you need the server to do?.. just a file server? [15:55] and I have a macbook, I get the best of all 3 worlds, and Ubuntu is definitely on par with the other systems EASILY [15:55] will linux have problems and troubles speedtouch for ever?!??! [15:55] <^ick> ProTToType: what about configuring before using? if you configure the right way, you will be able to use lots of windoes apps [15:55] !appdb | ProTToType [15:55] ProTToType: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [15:55] Basically it will host a small forum, like a message board where friends leave messages [15:55] cdecarlo, grep is the proper utility to search for patterns [15:55] will linux have problems and troubles speedtouch for ever?!??! [15:55] Less than 20 people will use it [15:55] was cdeszaq ^ [15:56] Yazan`: if no problems, where would the fun go then =? [15:56] But I don't want to pay for a host when I can leave an efficient PC on 24/7 [15:56] Gemmie78, maybe a little wiki [15:56] Kinda [15:56] Yazan` Please stop the repeats [15:56] I can run perl on an ubuntu systemr ight? [15:56] Gemmie78: while i can't say w/ 100% certainty(don't have a lot of server experience), i don't see why a 1.8ghz w/ 512 wouldn't be able to run that [15:56] Yazan`, and is not a linux problem, is an hardware vendor problem... [15:56] As far as I'm concerned most of it is just txt [15:56] How piss easy is that [15:56] how can i flush my dns? the ncsd daemon is not existent [15:56] joaopinto: ok, so how would I use it in a script to tell me if it found the pattern or not? I can get grep and sed both to output the same lines, so what's the difference? (I want a found/not-found sort of answer) [15:56] god damn speedtouch and the whole thomson company [15:57] lol [15:57] moron [15:57] joaopinto: ? [15:57] hi, Javascript is not working correctly in my firefox, and it was just totally updated. [15:57] Gemmie78: I run a photo gallery that does on the fly resizing at page load time on a P2-333 [15:57] Yazan` Please also watch the language and keep it family friendly [15:57] cdecarlo, you do a grep -c "pattern" file, this will print the number of matches [15:57] and I think I have everything related to javascript installed. [15:57] I can't play radio online. [15:57] joaopinto: I haven't asked a question [15:57] joaopinto: and then I look for 0 lines? [15:57] flash effects in sites, are not correctly displayed. [15:57] cdeszaq, yes [15:57] joaopinto: k, thanks [15:58] Gemmie78: you don't need a lot of power for a *nix of any kind to run well [15:58] silly question - I want to upgrade firefox beta 3 r 5 to the new release candidate 3rc2 how would i do so seamlessly? [15:58] how can i flush my dns cache? the ncsd daemon is not existent [15:59] cdc: did you not get it w/ your system updates? [15:59] cdc: firefox has an installer, right? [15:59] cdc, if you have updates enable you should have rc1 available, for rc2 you will need to do a manual install [15:59] how do I find out how a long a program has been running for? [15:59] Filefox only have tar.gz files. [15:59] BedMan, no it does not, it provides a binary tar gz [15:59] joaopinto: do i have to remove the previous one? [15:59] PhailQuail: ps [16:00] joaopinto: can't you download the instaler too? [16:00] PhailQuail, ps -fp pid, look for the STIME (Start time) [16:00] BedMan, no, you can download the binary, and run it [16:00] anyone here using a macbook ??? [16:00] ok, so i run apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. i get E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? but when i run those, it comes back with package reading in like 1 second [16:00] what was the command for renewing the IP adress in linux [16:00] ? [16:00] cdc, no you do not, if you install it to a difference place, but please search for a web page with instructions, is not something easy for beginners [16:01] joaopinto: if you get the .tar.gz file, does it not contain an installer? [16:01] white_eagle: sudo dhclient ethX [16:01] can somone tell me what package i have to install to get "make" [16:01] white_eagle: there a a bunch - you probably want /etc/init.d/network restart [16:01] white_eagle: sudo ipdown && sudo ifup [16:01] xTOGx what happens when you run apt-get update? [16:01] ok [16:01] yggdrasil, build-essential [16:01] thanks [16:01] (00:57:10) CarlFK: Gemmie78: I run a photo gallery that does on the fly resizing at page load time on a P2-333 |||| you're doing ubuntu on a P2 awesome [16:01] yggdrasil, whare arte you tring to build ?

[16:07] Parallx: if you want to... but you coudl get something cheaper if you just want to use Ubuntul.; [16:07] lubosz, so rephrase your question, it is not about how to install, but how to configure ;) [16:07] gooody: maybe not quite that easy, what model is your router? [16:08] joaopinto: but if this program detect the virus i can erase it!!!! [16:08] hey u indian?? [16:08] hello every one. can I change my accont to root when i in gnome?

[16:08] only i want to detect it and erase it myself [16:08] JJ1: not recommended [16:08] Anytime I try to run firestarter it asks for my password [16:08] IndyGunFreak: I need the firewire that has the macbook, i just wanted to know about problems, [16:08] joaopinto: i didnt find any method to do so, and usually it should work when you install it from the repo [16:08] is it ever a problem to create a directory that starts with a digit rather than a letter? [16:08] IndyGunFreak: i don't have the router yet but planning to buy a linksys wired router. [16:08] will it always do that if I set it to run on system start up? [16:08] ferfactor_, it depends on the virus, some virus get "melted" with system files, you can't simply delete those [16:08] im not able to find any information regarding to gunz online on whinehq site [16:08] so no one uses gfxboot? [16:08] gooody: it should be easy to setup.. do you have a windows PC at all? [16:08] can any1 here pls help me out?? [16:08] then i get a failed to fetch... Hash Sum mismtch E: Unble to etch some archies, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing [16:09] ProTToType, please ask on #winehq [16:09] joaopinto: i installed avg in live cd but it not run [16:09] ProTToType: if there aren't any docs at wineHQ then they probably don't exist [16:09] ProTTOType try: #winehq or google [16:09] ferfactor_, please join ##windows [16:09] IndyGunFreak: i am have a windows xp and ubuntu dual boot.

[16:09] sorry bout repeat [16:10] gooody: then its gravy, setup the router under windows with the CD that comes with it, then reboot to Ubuntu, and you should be online [16:10] i said i'm sorry FloodBot1!!! [16:10] xTOGx: its a bot.... [16:10] sorry guys, I have a problem with my wireless connection. I have a DIGICOM wave 54 usb adapter and it was working without problems since 3 days ago, now it stopped to work. The only thing I changed was the router. I tried to downgrade from hardy to gutsy but nothing is appening. The message I receive is always after "sudo ifup eth1" is "No DHCPOFFERS received.". [16:10] i know pici [16:10] Hey guys... got another newb query... I'm trying to cut and paste a directory and all it's contents to /var/www/ but get a permission denied error. How do I get around this? [16:10] then why not just use a pastebin if your sorry? [16:10] Chosen320: You need to be root [16:10] Chosen320: use sudo [16:11] what is pastebin? [16:11] !pastebin | xTOGx [16:11] xTOGx: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [16:11] Chosen320, you need to run nautilus with super user privileges, gksudo nautilus [16:11] Chosen320: for example, sudo cp -R (or sudo mv if you want to cut instead of copy) /the/Source /var/www [16:11] I'm looking for a tool to generate real time visualisation to audio input (line in) [16:11] http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2008/06/lunch_hour_veg_268.html [16:11] er, sorry. [16:11] Chosen320: Or alternatively if you hate the command line and want to use a GUI, type gksudo nautilus [16:11] Pici: miss [16:11] that would be great, IndyGunFreak, when i get linux installed :P [16:11] what is the default irc client in kubuntu 8.04? I cannot find konversation as installed by default. [16:11] Chosen320: if you set the permissions of the target directory properly, you do not need sudo, but you may need sudo to set your permissions right. [16:12] xTOGx: you don't need linux isntalled to use a pastebin. [16:12] hey everyone [16:12] oh [16:12] cool [16:12] can someone help me with a theme? [16:12] kushal1, there is no default one (maybe pidgin), but xchat works nice [16:12] i'll check it out. in the mean time. any suggestions on getting my GUI up and running? [16:12] 大家好 [16:12] xchat, ok thanks [16:12] IndyGunFreak: but i have some irregularities on my modem. i need to enter my username and password everytime i start my modem. would this create some problem with the router?

[16:29] kermos , previously i selected these all and works fine [16:29] how would i delete files in /root/.local/share/trash? they just appear right back there because im sending them to trash [16:29] gooody: once you set up your router, etc, you then set up file sharing...

[16:37] unless you have some special reason for using 64 bit, you are very limited [16:37] gooody: shouldn't effect it at all. === simon_core is now known as simon_bag1 [16:38] why? because i'm sick of dealing with the 64bit little quirk issues. and i was REALLY hope'n that i could upgrade to 32bit without a reinstall. thankfully i have a disk.

[16:50] cdavis: a backport is something which was developed on the testing distribution, proved to work, and then thought to be useful for the old version too, so it is backported to it. therefore, it is going to be some of the newest stuff in the old version [16:51] DaLiang what is your probllem [16:51] there's no complete specifications for the bcm chipsets, so the only way to get your wifi working is to use a proprietary driver with ndiswrapper [16:51] yesterday i went to the #ubuntu-cn ,and they teache i to rm something [16:52] Hello. I am new to Linux. Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. - Now I have found out that what I really want is Kubuntu-kde4! My cd-burner doesn't work.

[16:53] gorg, your gnome session will be preserved, you can try them both out then select the one you like better [16:53] so, how will me desktop environment be like? [16:53] DaLiang, what problems are you experiencing? [16:54] cygoku, then you'ill need bcmwl5.inf with ndiswrapper ( a simple search with google and you'ill find it ) . [16:54] gorg: it will be the KDE desktop instead of gnome [16:54] will i get boot question of which to launch in the begining?

I need to hear an unbiased opinion, since it'd mean I'd install Kubuntu and destroy all my settings. [16:54] gorg when you login, there will be a "session" button on the bottom left, click this and select KDE [16:54] The-Seiman, I know, I tryed 5 wiki using that file bcmwl5.inf and it never worked.

[16:55] neurobuntu No i can't hear anything and it said 音频输出不可用；设备忙。 [16:55] xine parameters: [16:55] <_eMaX_> eitreach, particularly the fact that "icons" on the desktop are not really bound to files ~/Desktop - and then that taskbar was not really what I expected. And dolphin was a joke. [16:56] neurobuntu: No. Just commandline. [16:56] indio: try using synaptic to remove it, be warned though that I know of a lot of people that have ruined their install by removing evolution incorrectly. I would really just recommend removing it from the menu [16:56] <_eMaX_> eitreach, looked like someone coming from apple trying at all cost to get his ipod like file manager on linux [16:56] indio and forgetting its there [16:56] indio: it can't take more then a few MB of space [16:56] i want a turbo c like app for compiling and running c programs [16:56] <_eMaX_> eitreach, ok maybe I'm not flexible enough, but actually I completely moved away from kde now and went to gnome and am pretty happy [16:57] _eMaX_: ...

[16:57] <_eMaX_> ok np [16:58] mystery_ /join #compiz [16:58] indio, I would recommend you try using the Synaptic Package Manager to remove it [16:58] <_eMaX_> as I said, just try it in a virtual machine.

[17:06] It has been suggested in the forums to alleviate my hardy freezing problems to install the backports kernel modules. Do I just apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-18-generic? does it aumatically replace the modules I already have installed for that kernel?

[17:23] eix unused processes are swapped out to save ram .. when data is not needed .. its flushed to swap Some may also be in use as shared video for onboard video controller [17:23] After installing the M$ truetype fonts, Firefox only dispays Times New Roman, nothing else. I can't change it in forums or anywhere else. Any thoughts? [17:23] the BIOS test says 1024MB too [17:23] actually, nothing recognizes the additional hard drive besides nautilus [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: why should swap have anything to do with my RAM? [17:23] doubt that pub :) [17:23] soundray: nop, it doesnt works for me, i need to search inside .doc and .pdf files...i will use google desktop instead [17:24] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think that the video card of a dedicated server takes 512MB... [17:24] lol i'll make a link to and move it to my file system [17:24] haha [17:24] nautilus is just eh graphical interface [17:24] I had a problem during my Gutsy to Hardy upgrade, and I would like to simply reinstall everything that is in my /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder. Is there an easy way of doing this? [17:24] how would i go about putting /documents and settings/ in a launcher, it keeps stopping at "/documents" and doesn't read the rest of the command line [17:24] theFATMAN: install the fonts in /home/fatman/.fonts [17:24] eix Just pasting a link on how some of that works... Is it shared video ram and how much are you having the bios use for vide.. [17:24] hi [17:24] pdub101 you can do this in either 2 ways where its a space type \ tor it to make its own space or put the path in quotes [17:25] hahah awesome, that worked [17:25] guys it was miro, if you install miro (through repos) it screws up firefox royally [17:25] and then restart Xsession ctrl+alt+backspace [17:25] but I find put \ then hitting tab to autofill is easier [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks [17:25] I just did an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on a clean hardy install and I got that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19091/ now I can't install anything :/ [17:25] eix How big is your swap partition, just out of curiosity [17:25] c_lisp: ok my entire path is "/media/sda1/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/LimeWire/Saved" so should i put it in paths like that?? [17:25] anyone know much about "local apps" running properly on ubuntu/edubuntu? looking to run Firefox on a terminal machine... what do you think the RAM requirements would be? [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: I'll have somebody check the video card settings in BIOS [17:26] eix It certainly wont be using 512, but it will be using some [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: 1341MB [17:26] eix that is plenty for your ram [17:26] could someone of you tell me, whether the packages needed for using a D-Link G-520+ WLAN-Adapter (Chip: ACX-111) (probably linux-restricted-modules-386) are installed when I choose "install a command line system" on a ubuntu alternate install cd? [17:26] is GKrellM nice ? [17:26] pmk: System-Preferences-Sessions -- untick the two tracker items [17:26] pdub101 so thep /media/sda1/Documents\{tab here} [17:26] it will start autofilling of ryou [17:26] pmk: you will still have to kill both for the current session [17:27] Jack_Sparrow: too much? that's what Ubuntu took by default [17:27] soundray: thanks! [17:27] I had a problem during my Gutsy to Hardy upgrade, and I would like to simply reinstall all the .deb files in my /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder. Is there some command to do this? [17:27] eix No.. not too much.. hard drive space isnt as costly as it used to be [17:27] Jack_Sparrow: it's a 80GB hard disk [17:28] c_lisp: ahh great! i got it :) thanks so much for your help!! [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: how can I tell the kernel not to spoil 512MB for the swap management? [17:28] quit [17:28] soundray: do you know where all the documentations files of my computer are? [17:28] eix: /etc/fstab [17:29] yell0w: ...and? [17:29] np [17:29] eix I dont know that it is swap management, but the server kernels are pretty smart, they use it the way it suits how you are using the system. Are you running out of ram or into ram related issues, or you just want to see that number at 1024 [17:29] what should i go for .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz file formats [17:29] eix: erhh comment out that swap part if you don't want it ? [17:29] i'm using scim but there seems to be a whole lot of missing kanji. is there anything to download to increase the support? [17:30] Jack_Sparrow: I got a kernel panic this morning, so I can think this is part of the problem [17:30] hi, ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-18 is last version? [17:30] yell0w: if I comment the swap partition I will get 1024MB? [17:30] evening. Dovecot and ssl is causing me to loose the will to live [17:30] because some people get 2.6.24-19 [17:30] Jack_Sparrow: but can really a swap partition make 1/2 of RAM invisible? [17:30] im getting the error "Client didn't present valid SSL certificate" [17:30] anyone got any ideas? [17:30] so I installed 7.1 yesterday, and upgraded to 8.04, but now I'm having a odd problem - it seems that some parts of the interface are..'old'. Update manager looks old, Synaptic, and login window preferences and such. I have a example of how it looks here: http://alternatestorm.com/gaar.png [17:30] hi, ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-18 is last version? [17:30] because some people get 2.6.24-19 [17:30] eix The people in #Ubuntu-server will be better people to ask.. although they may be slower than in here [17:31] eix: what exactly is your memory/swap condition and what you want out of it ? [17:31] @levia, try deleting (or moving) .gnome from your home folder [17:31] setting up ubuntu desktop in order to monitor network traffic. Any good tutorials on how to bridge the ethernet cards and sniff the packets? [17:31] eix No, it can make your ram invisible [17:31] cant [17:31] !kernel [17:31] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [17:31] !last kernel [17:31] Factoid last kernel not found [17:31] eix Sorry.. no it can not [17:31] hmmmmmmmmm [17:32] yell0w: I have 1024MB of RAM but I can see only less than half, so I am wondering who's taking the rest [17:32] I have 3 screens, with 2 X sessions. Is it possible to move an application on 1 X session over to the other? [17:32] anyone familiar with dovecot? [17:32] no [17:32] Hi. Is there a VM for Ubuntu? [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: ok [17:32] hi, ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-18 is last version? [17:32] @whileimhere virtuabox is pretty rocking [17:32] eix Was thios installed as a live system and converted to a server or was the server cd used from the start [17:33] xen is cool [17:33] How do I show the packages I have installed using the aptitude on the command line? [17:33] Jack_Sparrow: the server cd from start [17:33] My first boot screen is cluttered with many Hardy boot versions. How to remove unwanted versions please? [17:33] ordered by reverse installation date would be nice [17:33] there was a livecd system but then it was re-partitioned [17:33] eix: what does free -m tell you ? [17:33] eix Single ram chip or mismatched chips multiple chips etc [17:33] I need someone with Intel/NVIDIA lappie - preferably DELL with problems with SUSPEND/RESUME [17:34] how can I change the name of my computer (from ubuntu to hax0r for example) [17:34] @ksbalaji open up /boot/grub/menu.lst and put a # before any entries you dont want [17:34] can somebody help me please, I am unable to mount an external harddrive, I think it was caused by ubuntu autoupdating ntfs-3g [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: I think there are chips of different sizes but it's a brand new server, I would not say it's broken [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: the memtest went OK [17:34] yell0w: http://rafb.net/p/zGSQxJ23.html [17:34] I need someone for testing with Intel/NVIDIA lappie - preferably DELL with problems with SUSPEND/RESUME [17:34] anyone use gkrellm ?

[17:36] Jack_Sparrow: you are saying that running the test on the single modules might give different results? [17:36] Question: does dnsmasq conflict with dhcp? [17:37] eix Where or how do you get 438 meg chips [17:37] conky? [17:37] Jack_Sparrow: don't tell me..the remote technician told me that [17:37] lightrush, what is conky?

[17:48] I had to uninstall audacity as the beta version supported by hardy cannot find my sound output device. The repository also does not contain a stable audacity version. Any help pl? [17:48] ok.. bye [17:48] hey guys, rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* doesnt delete hidden folders. Is there some sort of option for rm that im missing? [17:49] Bodsda: nope - that should delete hiden folders and such, but if you don't have permission on something it may fail [17:49] ksbalaji, if it is in the repo's then the Ubuntu devs/community believe it to be 'stable' [17:49] looking now and will let you know thanks [17:50] BedMan, im running it with sudo so there shouldnt be any probs there,.,. il try as root === seanw is now known as ilona [17:50] yeah, no more SOCK_RAW issues with Wine after recompiling the kernel with Filesystem capabilities on *_* [17:50] ksbalaji this could be caused by audacity not being able to use pulse audio. === Evan_ is now known as EvanItal [17:50] !chan [17:50] Factoid chan not found [17:50] Bodsda: asterisks only expand to non-hidden files [17:50] Bodsda: if you sudo'd the rm command - it *did* run as root [17:50] looks like its just what i was looking for === ilona is now known as seanw [17:51] BedMan, i no, but im just tryin things [17:51] Flannel: good call - he might have missed a few things [17:51] Flannel, how would /blah/blah/.* work? [17:51] Bodsda, but audacity, 1.3.+ is a beta version. In my computer, It does not recognize my sound device! [17:51] It has been suggested in the forums to alleviate my hardy freezing problems to install the backports kernel modules. Do I just apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-18-generic? does it automatically replace the modules I already have installed for that kernel? [17:51] Bodsda: no, try rm -rf /bla/blaah/. [17:51] ksbalaji, im not disputing that im just saying it is considered stable enough for the repo's [17:52] Flannel, forget the 'how' [17:52] Bodsda ksbalaji audacity isnt able to use pulseaudio, i guess thats the point there, isnt it? [17:52] Can someone explain to me what a WINS server is? [17:52] tschaka^, How to enable audacity use pulse audio? [17:53] anyone here a restricted driver genius? nvidia related? [17:53] Muhammad_Saad: it's a windows networking thingy.. kind of like dns but for smb network, afaik [17:53] Muhammad_Saad: Windows Internet Naming Service [17:53] lostaslostcanbe glad to have ehlped [17:53] cdavis: kernel depends on modules [17:53] #ubuntu-el [17:53] !wins [17:53] Factoid wins not found [17:53] so is there or isnt there a specific server channel? [17:53] hello everyone [17:53] u need to disable pulse instead (at least kill it before using audacity), tho i dont know how. i guess the guys in here can help you.

[17:54] bosda: #ubuntu-gr [17:54] man those guys in #dd-wrt sure take their sweet a$$ time to respond to a question [17:54] If I switch away from pulse audio, my esperanza does not work! If I tinket too much, my box just blinks. No sound. [17:54] BedMan, Slart: Is it necessary in a Windows network? [17:54] tschaka^: hmm, I use audacity without problems.. together with pulse audio [17:54] slart i will thank you [17:55] Muhammad_Saad: no [17:55] Hey anyone able to recomend gnome skins? [17:55] KyleK, I don't understand what you mean? I understand that the kernel loads the modules, what I don't know is if I install the backports modules for my running kernel will those replace the modules that were installed from the non-backports repors? [17:55] Muhammad_Saad: but it does help :-) [17:55] Slart ksbalaji well, then i dont think this is the issue :P [17:55] Muhammad_Saad: not really.. I think dns can be used instead.. [17:55] i use audacious with no problems [17:55] not audacity [17:55] Muhammad_Saad: it's mainly used for older versions of windows [17:55] oh.. audacity.. sorry.. I use audacious.. [17:55] I need more coffee [17:55] oh ok. [17:56] well ksbalaji, try to disable pulse before using audacity and then enable it after with sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start [17:56] bodsda: #ubuntu-gr [17:56] doesn't audacity use oss only?

[18:07] yusuo, what do you mean by a RAW-File? Wave? [18:07] yusuo: mencoder or something like that.. there's probably hundreds of ways of doing it [18:07] The-Seiman, Do I use a old version? [18:07] So nobody knows? [18:07] ksbalaji: yes, but it's the same i think [18:08] So nobody knows? [18:08] Slart: strange, it's working now, just like that picture you sent. (roll eyes) [18:08] why did autocompletion in terminal stopped working ???? [18:08] nikitis: is there a /etc/init.d/bluetooth script? [18:08] nah a file off imeem.com gets saved into /tmp/ wanna make it mp3, cause this song is hard to find aint found it anywhere else [18:08] how can I enable it again [18:09] is there an iTunes alternative for linux thats GUI? [18:09] mad_max02: you are really sure you disabled it? [18:09] isn't rhythm box it [18:09] dan: nothing that uses the same itunes store [18:09] Slart, I didnt disable it but it just stopped working. [18:09] why is it that my "shutdown" button on the top right corner doesnt work sometimes? [18:09] dan: amarok uses another, much smaller, store.. [18:09] Slart, it completes first command with tab [18:09] dan rythem box is compat with ipods [18:10] Hello, need help with my sansa clip. After a lot of research online, I'm in the following situation: my sansa clip doesn't work as an MTP device in all of the music softwares I've tried, but mainly amarok. Every time I connect it to the USB portal, my external HD's gone. Any thoughts? [18:10] smnp? [18:10] Can someone suggest a really good simple instruction website to set up virtual hosting in apache in ubuntu 8.04?? [18:10] Slart: ok, and how do you get amarok tunes to your ipod? [18:10] Slart, yes there is [18:10] Slart: although see their april 1st post, here: http://amarok.kde.org/en/node/446 [18:10] Slart, I installed kubuntu few days ago and I had the same problem. Someone gave me a solution with editing a file I forgot which one. Now when I'm back to ubuntu I have the same problem again. [18:11] nikitis: then type sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start [18:11] help! no administration tasks work! spm, update manager, harware drivers, all the things in System>>Administration! [18:11] yusuo: does it work well? [18:11] Slart, lsusb also shows the device, but when I rightclick on the bluetooth icon, I can't select properties like it doesn't recognize the device, It was working but when I unplugged it [18:11] dan: I think it handles ipods.. not the newest gen 3 ipods though [18:11] mtp-detect comes up with an error (a few actually), which its source I coulnd't find. :( [18:11] Slart, ok start worked [18:11] Slart: thank you [18:11] am I missing something? Can't seem to find a dhcp-server package for hardy [18:11] mad_max02: probably ~/.bashrc or something like that [18:11] ksbalaji: fall back to alsa ? [18:11] Slart: when i boot, it tries to run fsck but, it gets errors about numerous unknown commands? is there any way i can fix this? it is pretty important to run fsck right? [18:11] Slart, i had done /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart and no go [18:11] yeah its a decent player, personally i use amarok, not sure if that has ipod support but i know songbird and rhytmn box do [18:12] !info dhcpd [18:12] Package dhcpd does not exist in hardy [18:12] Slart: could you help me?

Hardy? -not stable I think! Pl.reboot. or try recovery. It worked for me. [18:14] European-African: emerge is from Gentoo [18:14] European-African: read the apt man page [18:14] denon sudo apt-get update , and see if all internet sources are enabeld. actually it SHOULD be in the main repos. [18:14] ksbalaji: have already tried, and I swapped to a older kernal [18:14] why cant i change the "roaming mode" into "static ip" in network properties?

It doesn't appear that initdb was installed with it [18:16] cygoku: well you have the same card as mine [18:16] yell0w, thanks! no choice maybe. I tried. Even then audacity in Hardy is of no use. [18:16] what is the default password for su ? [18:16] denon nice :) [18:17] why cant i change the "roaming mode" into "static ip" in network properties?? [18:17] tschaka^: of course .. it installed, but wont start [18:17] tschaka^: guessing I need to get my config on first [18:17] Slart, there is no such file. Not even hidden one. [18:17] cygoku: on my acer laptop, i've installer acer_acpi to power on the wifi card [18:17] denon prolly. may u wanna try udhcpd, the package says "very small DHCP server" [18:17] tschaka^: when I try that it says that it failed to connect to server? how do I change the server it updates from? sofware sources is not working for me. [18:17] Hello. How can I change the default application (for example of Java, the browser, etc.)? Thanks. [18:18] cygoku: so I think you must search something similar for your dell laptop [18:18] The-Seiman : To power on ? [18:18] tschaka^: nah, I like ISC DHCPD [18:18] nvm, i think i found the solution. [18:18] thx [18:18] i'm in fluxbox. what's the command-line name for the disk usage app?

[18:18] cygoku: well, without the acer_acpi, the wifi card is off [18:18] mad_max02: what happens if you write this in a terminal, "gedit ~/.bashrc" , you get an empty gedit window?

[18:19] The-Seiman : This is getting more than troublesome. [18:19] tschaka^: so what's the "ubuntu way" to start this stuff? /etc/init.d/dhcpd start ? [18:19] tschaka^: "sudo apt-get update" says that it can't connect to the server! [18:19] Flannel, you there? [18:19] loz: apparently. df -h to see how much you're using [18:19] graft, I got same error, how do u delete stuff in apt cache [18:19] ok [18:19] Slart, yeah [18:19] cygoku: acer = power management ;) [18:19] FluxD: apt-get clean [18:19] ah --fix-misisng [18:19] cygoku: i meant acpi [18:19] cygoku: not acer [18:19] European-African are you using local sources, or the main "us" ones? [18:19] mad_max02: what are you running? ubuntu? [18:19] 94% on boot [18:19] wifi question: i have a toshiba satellite labtop. i installed madwifi and it saw local wifi spots. i can see my personal wifi connection but i can not connect.. i have the strength bars in my tool bar and it says i'm connected then asks me for my key i enter it but it wont take. my mac adress is in the router. plz hlp [18:20] denon prolly. should be already running, at least on startup i guess. dunno exaclty tho. [18:20] The-Seiman : I wonder how they do it at DELL with their DELLBUNTU. [18:20] should i resize it or clear it? [18:20] tschaka^: local. [18:20] denon sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start [18:20] graft, another error I got was /proc/event was not found while trying to get k/ubuntu-desktop on 8.04 server any idea on how to fix that? [18:20] Slart, ubuntu now yes [18:20] Hello everyone, I just updated to 8.04 and nothing is working right. So i want to return to the previous version, however when it trys to install it say it cant find my cd drive! even though it works now :| [18:20] does hardy support wpa2? I see wpa, but don't know if that's just 1 or 1 and 2 [18:20] tschaka^: k, wondered if there was any special tools I should know about in ubuntu [18:20] tschaka^: thanks for your help, much appreciated [18:21] denon no problem :) [18:21] European-African try to activate the us ones in your Software sources dialog and try again. [18:21] European-African System-> administration> software sources, if you got Gnome running. [18:21] loz: i dunno, whatever you want. my guess is you have a whole lot of outdated kernel images there? [18:21] tschaka^: Software sources dialog does not work! like spm. [18:22] why cant i change the "roaming mode" into "static ip" in network properties? (ubuntu) [18:22] hey guys. I am able to get clients to connect to my openvpn server (hardy server, bridged) but they can't ping each other. I know it is an iptables thing but I have no idea where to even start with that. Any suggestions? [18:22] FluxD: nope, no idea on that, sorry [18:22] PennyCostco: baobab [18:22] European-African give me some seconds, i'll check something out. [18:22] wifi question: i have a toshiba satellite labtop. i installed madwifi and it saw local wifi spots. i can see my personal wifi connection but i can not connect.. i have the strength bars in my tool bar and it says i'm connected then asks me for my key i enter it but it wont take. my mac adress is in the router. plz hlp [18:22] graft, is this files upposed to exist on hardy /proc/acpi/event ? [18:22] tschaka^: ok] [18:22] Freaking getting on my nerves. [18:22] i am using Kopete, and wish to turn of who is joining and away [18:23] mad_max02: can you pastebin the output from this command? ls -la ~/ | grep -ie "\..*" [18:23] FluxD: i guess, if acpi is working and generates events [18:23] !paste | mad_max02 [18:23] mad_max02: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:23] what is the difference between a passphrase and a key? [18:23] hello, I installed kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and naturally it installed all the deps, but now if I remove it, it just removes the meta package, how can I undo the entire process? [18:23] gorg: try #kubuntu or #kde [18:23] yell0w, thanks for the wireless tip - got it reconnected [18:23] mad_max02: it should just be a list of files in your home folder starting with a dot [18:23] graft, is acpi needed or is there any way to not use it? [18:23] gorg: or #kopete even [18:23] ok, thanks [18:23] graft is it ok to clear everything or older versions of the same thing [18:23] mad_max02: you can edit out any sensitive filesnames if you want to.. [18:23] FluxD: erm. acpi is usually nice to have... lets you suspend and stuff like that [18:24] i obvously wont clear grub [18:24] graft, this is a remote server in another dc I control using ssh [18:24] what about lost+found [18:24] Slart, there is no bashrc file. I know its hidden but there aint one. [18:24] loz: usually you're okay just keeping the kernel you're using... i try to keep one older kernel that i know worked well in case i ever need to roll back to it [18:24] European-African type into terminal: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , replace the local thingy in the URLs with "us" (like move "de" out and put "us" in) and save by pressing ctrl+o. be sure to do a backup before. then again run "sudo apt-get update" should actually work then. [18:24] ok thanks [18:24] loz: don't delete stuff by hand, use apt to remove old kernels === Guest35672 is now known as Firebird_ [18:24] I just updated to 8.04 and nothing is working right. So i want to return to the previous version, however when it trys to install it says it cant find my cd drive! [18:24] Hello, i had to compile a newer version of MadWiFi in order for my wireless on my new laptop to work, but now every time i suspnd i think i get a kernel panic. Where should i report this? [18:24] tschaka^, European-African , how to fall back to audacity old version when rep.does not support? [18:25] thanks [18:25] wifi question: i have a toshiba satellite labtop. i installed madwifi and it saw local wifi spots. i can see my personal wifi connection but i can not connect.. i have the strength bars in my tool bar and it says i'm connected then asks me for my key i enter it but it wont take. my mac adress is in the router. plz hlp [18:25] tschaka^: ok will do, hold on [18:25] anyone can help me? [18:25] mad_max02: is there a file called .profile ? [18:26] Slart, not in my home folder no [18:26] ksbalaji try to find older deb packages on the web. [18:26] mad_max02: any files at all in your home folder? [18:26] cygoku: in your case, renable the bcm43xx drivers ... : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Inspiron_6400#Wireless_Setup [18:26] Slart, lol :D yeah a lot [18:26] whats the command for gnome services? [18:26] I wonder if someone else experiences the same problem: Every once-in-a-while my wireless link gets killed, and restarting the network or doing 'dhclient eth1' won't do. When I open up the nm-applet and check the configuration, I notice that some very long string has taken the place of the wireless modem. Once I write the correct password again I get the wireless link back. This must be a very simple to solve issue, though the WHY this password is changed is qui [18:26] te puzzling. Any clues? [18:26] The-Seiman : bcm43xx is blacklisted, it is using b43. [18:26] id like to get them to start on fluxbox startup [18:27] mad_max02: is this a new install? regular vanilla ubuntu hardy? [18:27] fooks gdm [18:27] graft, apt-get remove and the package manager don't work [18:27] someone can help me with ati configuration under mint? [18:27] Slart, Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 [18:27] cygoku: then remove the blacklist line and enable it with modconf ;) [18:27] I had that install before I tried kubuntu and everything worked [18:27] loz: uh? oh, because you have no space? [18:27] why cant i change the "roaming mode" into "static ip" in network properties? (ubuntu) [18:27] yes [18:27] hello [18:27] cicci_: this channel is for ubuntu support.. check the mint site for support [18:27] Does anyone know how I can give my clock a kick in his ass ? [18:27] hi [18:27] loz: but you only don't have space on /boot... [18:27] The clock just stopped [18:27] The-Seiman : mod-conf ? [18:28] correct [18:28] loz: and 94% isn't that full [18:28] fooks, gnome-commander is what you want? [18:28] loz: well, it should work fine for removing stuff...? [18:28] cygoku: modconf, not mod-conf [18:28] Hey Guys, how do i kill xserver to install the latest nvidia driver [18:28] mad_max02: extremely weird.. [18:28] loz: anyway, even if it doesn't, you can use dpkg -r [18:28] lgc, i'd just like all the cool stuff that auto pops up and themes and such to be as exact under fluxbox [18:28] I just updated to 8.04 and nothing is working right. So i want to return to the previous version, however when it trys to install it say it cant find my cd drive! even though it works now :| [18:28] European-African, I feel that the entire panel does not work properly in your case. Did you try something else? [18:28] it would make fluxbox perfect [18:28] vic1ou ctlr+alt+backspace [18:28] i have to do a dpkg -configure and that doesnt owrk [18:28] *work [18:28] or just log outt [18:28] c_lisp that just takes me to login [18:28] derspankster: np [18:29] fooks, I'm not sure I understand you... [18:29] it kills the xserver [18:29] why wont ubuntu respond sometimes when I click the shutdown button on top right corner? [18:29] vic1ous: ctrl+f1 to get a shell.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop the x server.. install nvidia driver and possibly do sudo /etc/init.d/gdfm start to get back in [18:29] and restarts it sitll vic1ous [18:29] The-Seiman : Not even installed. [18:29] loz: you ought to be able to do dpkg -r without doing dpkg --configure first, i think [18:29] cygoku: go to kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx [18:29] fooks, (I meant gnome-control-center, not gnome-commander. Sorry.) [18:29] cygoku: then install it ;) [18:29] vic1ous: or install the driver using the restricted drivers thingy and just point, click, restart [18:29] Slart, I found the problem. File is located in /etc/bash.bashrc [18:29] lgc, i think thats it [18:29] Slart, I gotta log out to use it [18:29] mad_max02: that's the big, system wide file.. there should be one in your home folder too [18:30] ksbalaji: it is not the entire panel, just the tools tha when you try to open them have this prestartup box that says 'starting adminstration tool' [18:30] my cd drive sometimes does not respond. could it be clashing with ubuntu? [18:30] i am a noob and im preparing a live machine ... its asking me hostname ... does hostname's format etc matter or should i put anything in it i like? [18:31] ksbalaji: no I worked it out! my sudo is not working at all! [18:31] Ironeye, CD drives are sometimes unwieldy and fail often. Nothing to do with Ubuntu. IMO. [18:31] [18:31] The-Seiman : Then what ? [18:31] reenignEesreveR: anything you like.. avoid weird characters [18:31] The-Seiman : it's asking for command-line argumentss ? [18:31] hey guys I have a tough server question, is this the right place to ask it? [18:31] cygoku: no [18:31] reenignEesreveR: there is probable some kind of limit on how long it can be [18:32] for some odd reason my screen is extremely bright. can anyone help me configure ubuntu 8, I don't think xorg.cof is correct, I've looked at it but can't figure the solution. [18:32] cygoku: it's a simplified ncurses program ;) [18:32] European-African did anything work? [18:32] igc: any ideas for a fix? [18:32] does it affect apache's naming scheme etc? [18:32] cygoku: go to kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx [18:32] otake1234: ask and find out.. you can try the #linux channel too.. but do your homework first [18:32] The-Seiman : It says it's deprecated and does not work. [18:32] tschaka^: I worked out what is wrong. my sudo does not work at all! [18:32] hey how do I view my partition map? [18:32] in fdisk? [18:32] cygoku: hmm [18:33] cygoku: you probably have to install ncurses [18:33] yotsu: m [18:33] yotsu: gnome partition editor.. in the system menu [18:33] Installation failed. [18:33] European-African ah ok. what happens when u type sudo in console? [18:33] yotsu: oh.. sorry.. in fdisk.. I have no idea [18:33] cygoku: if it's not that, your distro is wrong [18:33] how do i put my trash bin on the desktop instead of the panel? [18:33] Slart, works great. Just uncommented a line in /etc/bash.bashrc [18:33] does my hostname have to resolve on internet as well? [18:33] European-African, Just as I guessed. I had the same problem. I restarted with recovery. It helped. [18:33] Slart, i have done my homework. its a question of storage. I am trying to load 48 500 GB hard drives into one instance of ubuntu. its actually 24 striped sets. I'm running into what seems klike random issues and am wondering if there is a limit i am not aware of [18:33] The-Seiman, distro is wrong ? wtf hardy heron 8.04.1 [18:33] ant@AMD-64:~$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [18:33] sudo: unable to resolve host AMD-64 [18:33] ant@AMD-64:~$ [18:34] KRaZy_WaKa: start gconf-editor in a terminal, go to apps, nautilus ... look for desktop stuff.. it's in there somewhere [18:34] sorry [18:34] How do i update my cd drive?

[19:11] and irssi [19:11] rsk thanx [19:11] if you say "can i ask a question" and i say "yes only one though" you have already used up your question, so asking was pointless [19:11] thanks guys:) [19:11] hello how can i change the permissions to all the subfolders of a folder? [19:11] How can I setup gnome-pilot to sync Thunderbird's address book with my portable's contact list? Or perhaps setup Evolution to sync with Thunderbird?

What folder are you trying to do that with and why [19:12] I see irssi is terminal based [19:12] :s [19:12] carpediem Ubuntu support questions [19:12] no, no one answer me till now [19:12] Jack_Sparrow: I added nothing...no I addded wine latest only that's it, but no windows applications yet. Please help me find a complete tweaking guide for ubuntu, so I'll turn off everything i don't meed [19:12] ok Jack_Sparrow:) [19:12] anyone? GDM w/ 2 xservers? [19:13] phantomas_, Jack_Sparrow: Yea, sorry about that, you should be careful when using chmod and chown etc [19:13] im using irssi at work right now carpediem [19:13] :P [19:13] carpediem xchat is pretty much a nice and easy to use program. there are some scripts too. get used to it and you will love it :) [19:13] how do i set the "search" button on my logitech mouse *not* to open beagle or tracker search tool? [19:13] Nickey: *need [19:13] *Jack_Sparrow: *need [19:13] Jack_Sparrow: i want to change the permission of my ftp folder and subfolders located in /home [19:13] conrad_: Check system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, you can reassign most of the stuff from there [19:13] liberation fonts are pretty. === kat is now known as Guest68738 [19:13] and guys please don't go to off topics instead of answering others [19:14] anarkix: what was your question? [19:14] test [19:14] hello, anyone can help me by explanation or solution for that: i cant use my ntfs partitions from desktop , places menu, and computer folder (i can use them (read/write)from /dos directory) [19:14] Jack_Sparrow: only for me [19:14] oh by the way, did any of you tried warcraft III on ubuntu? [19:14] anarkix: no idea.. works on my computer [19:15] anarkix got ntfs-3g installed? [19:15] Nickey Try it before installing the latest wine.. [19:15] yes [19:15] carpediem: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 [19:15] Jack_Sparrow: I remember it was the same, it's not about wine [19:15] that is the Wine link for Warcraft III [19:15] anarkix is it mounted in /dos? [19:15] phantomas_ Cant you move then down one level to /home/$USER [19:15] yes thank you KRaZy_WaKa [19:16] tschaka: yes [19:16] Nickey Not saying it is about wine, but about adding wine to your system [19:16] but it tried that, and it's not connecting to battlenet [19:16] but thanks:) [19:16] carpediem: no prob [19:16] i'll try it again [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: ...it was the same... [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: ok... but just to know how can i do this? [19:16] is us.archive.ubuntu.com working for everyone? [19:16] phantomas_ However it was setup to /home.. you can change it to whatever.. [19:16] anarkix let me try something, second [19:16] Where are the ubuntu sounds in the package ubuntu-sounds [19:16] Nickey: Ubuntu doesn't really come with any "bloatware" the stuff it loads on startup is pretty much only the things you "need" there are maybe a couple daemons that you could cut, but for the most part Ubuntu is pretty snappy as it is [19:17] ubuntu's repository seems down [19:17] reenignEesreveR: Lots of mirrors [19:17] hmm, why is it so slow then... [19:17] reenignEesreveR: it works if I enter the url in a browser [19:17] Nickey It isnt for the rest of us.. [19:17] reenignEesreveR: There are lots of repositories? [19:17] tschaka^: ok tyt and thanks for answering me [19:17] I have a repository setup, but I can't seem to get into it remotely. I added myself via cvsd-passwd however it says authentication failed. I checked to see that I am included in the passwd file under CVSROOT and I am. [19:17] Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean? [19:17] reenignEesreveR: I just successfully ran apt-get update from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com [19:17] Nickey, what are your computer's specs like? [19:18] Nickey for me and most users XP is lower than ubuntu [19:18] slower [19:18] Nickey, you could switch to Xfce if you're working with a small amount of RAM [19:18] ok [19:18] Pentium 3GHz and 2GB [19:18] *Pentium 4 [19:18] 3GHz [19:18] if my ubuntu machine is not resolving addresses, what could be wrong? [19:19] Has anyone tried installing a different motherboard in a computer? Do you think a re-installation of Ubuntu is required? [19:19] Jack_Sparrow: How can that be? :( [19:19] reenignEesreveR: Weird DNS thing? [19:19] reenignEesreveR, dns, cat /etc/resolv.conf [19:19] reenign, could be lots of things, DNS problem is most likely [19:19] Nickey, how about the hard drive? A slow hard drive slows everything down [19:19] Jack_Sparrow i mean how can i change the permissions of /home/ to +rwx for my user [19:19] Nickey I am not here to debate... it is a fact of life for most users.. SOme have odd hardware that isnt supported that is slowing things down but in general it is faster [19:19] ASULutzy: thanks a million, that did it! [19:19] root@host# cat /etc/resolv.conf -> nameserver 20*.11*.8*.12* [19:19] LogicalDash: I'm just saying winxp was faster on the same machine.... [19:19] btw i just need to add something, when i was on kubuntu, i used to see the irc channel for just asking and answering, and there are other room for off topics. :) [19:20] anarkix its a matter of being mounted to /dos. try to mount it to /media/xxx1 or whatever its called. the drive address u can find out by simply typing mount and see which /dev/xxx is mounted to /dos . if its mounted to /media/xxx it can be accessed from anywhere u like (desktop, side panel in nautilus and comuter) [19:20] conrad_: No problem :) [19:20] !chown [19:20] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:20] reenignEesreveR: why are you using a root prompt? [19:20] http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ is ther mirror that i use for anybody having mirror problems, i get 300K dloads from them and haven't had a problem with it not being up to date [19:20] Jack_Sparrow: what are the minimal specs for ubuntu? [19:20] * reenignEesreveR loves to be root ;) [19:20] reenignEesreveR: you do realise root can be dangerous [19:20] sudo -i gives root... reenignEesreveR that doesn't look like a valid ip [19:20] Nickey 512 ram is the sweet spot lower than that you will take a performance hit. [19:21] does anyone know, how do I change my default browser from firefox to opera? I can't seem to find it.... [19:21] tschaka^: so i just have to change the mounting point [19:21] reenignEesreveR: root should only be used when necessary [19:21] ? [19:21] rampageoberon: i screwed my machine by changing the hostname and not updating the hosts file ... now im undoing using root [19:21] reenignEesreveR: change the ip to 208.67.222.222 [19:21] Jack_Sparrow: I have 2GB.... :( Isn't ubuntu tweakable? There must be things I don't need in it. [19:21] you can test the speed of your hard disk with 'sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda' (obviously replace sda with whatever your drive actually is) [19:21] on mine I get 68.34Mb/s (which suprised the hell out of me..) [19:21] anarkix yes. something in /media/ be sure that the directory where u want to mount it exists, u might want to do "sudo mkdir /media/YOURDRIVEADRESSORMOUNTPOINT" before. [19:21] Nickey: 2GB ram is sufficient [19:21] Nickey: How big is your swap partition? [19:21] Nickey: or is this hard drive space? [19:22] Nickey you can always compile your own kernel, but most users end up with something slower than generic setupo === phantomas_ is now known as Phantomas [19:22] Has anyone have any experience with a stardot wincam live? I had it working in Feisty then it quit and I've never been able to get it to work again. I ran it with Wine. Now, the camera can't communicate with the computer. [19:22] Hello guys [19:22] anarkix most prolly u can do this by editing the mount point in /etc/fstab but be sure to have a backup and dont mess anything up. [19:22] rampageoberon: that i know :) [19:22] Nickey: 512 MB [19:22] I have a problem burning Hardy-alternate daily release can any1 help me? [19:22] tschaka^: thanks for help :). [19:22] rampageoberon: there is more than 80% empty [19:22] hi guys [19:22] anarkix no problem :) [19:23] Jack_Sparrow: I meant some other tweak with settings, services I could disable... [19:23] Insurrecto Daily release... Why are you not using the real release [19:23] i was wondering if anyone can help me get my wifi card in my laptop going? [19:23] Because everytime i use one it gives me read error md5 on package.gz [19:23] Jack_Sparrow: can you tell me how can i change the permissions of a folder in /home/ ??? [19:23] i'am dual booting linux and vista [19:23] Nickey there are some tweeks I have seen online.. but nothing I want to bother with [19:24] * Nickey gone googling 'ubuntu tweaks' [19:24] Phantomas man chown and chroot and read slowly and understand them [19:24] Phantomas: sudo chmod /home/folder [19:24] Phantomas chmod [19:24] i have ubuntu on my laptop and my desktop. i want to take it off my laptop. do i need to reinstall an bootloader on windows? [19:24] Nickey, the default swap size is 2GB, perhaps you should grow your swap partition [19:25] What is the extension of executables in Linux (In Windows it would be .exe) also how can I find where the executable file of a program icon that is in the application menu (In Windows I would right click on the icon and in the properties it would tell me where the the file is on the hard drive) [19:25] Ette: boot windows with in recovery mode and run fixmbr and fixboot [19:25] with 2gb of ram, you shouldn't be invading swap space at any point unless you're running a gigantic database or something [19:25] Ette boot windows cd and fixmbr in recovery mode [19:25] XXer: we don't use filename extensions generally [19:25] Hi, can I get some info on hmail? [19:25] XXer: for debian based distros its .deb [19:25] LogicalDash: why does it need it so big? I had 512 swapfile in winxp, that's why I chose that much [19:25] Phantomas to do it the easy way, "sudo nautilus", navigate there, and right click on the directory, click the tab permissions or whatever, and adjust it there. [19:25] !svn [19:25] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [19:25] hi, what cvs GUI do you guys recommend? i just migrated and used wincvs on windows. is there anything similar besides gcvs? [19:25] Nickey, I don't know, but it's the recommended size [19:25] Jack_Sparrow: Everytime i burn a cd it gives me MD5 error and fail to read package.gz [19:26] tschaka, Phantomas: I think you should use gksudo nautilus instead of sudo nautilus, right? [19:26] jack_sparrow: i never got a windows CD with the laptop. [19:26] really ok then === badassmuther is now known as ireland [19:26] ASULutzy should work both :p [19:26] Ette: what version of windows is on your laptop? [19:26] Ette Some mfg now charge for the cd they should have givin you in the first place [19:26] XXer: well .deb are install files, and executable applications don't have extensions [19:26] XXer: .deb is the extension for Debian packages, which contain software distributions; the actual executables generally have no extension [19:26] Nickey, you probably don't need any [19:27] i got a inspiron 6400 laptop with no wifi [19:27] tschaka^: Oh, I may be mistaken, I thought I remembered reading something once about rocking gksu with nautilus and there being a reason to actually do it [19:27] Hi there, if I have a terminal and pressing the arrow keys gives me ASCII code, how do I change it so that the arrow keys navigate? [19:27] frostburn: any what> [19:27] lol [19:27] XXer: instead, every Linux file has an "executable bit"; you can check whether it's set or not using the command "file " [19:27] i broke something [19:27] ok one more question i have a problem with su... it doesnt accept my pass :( [19:27] i am sure i remember it correctly [19:27] Nickey, you don't need any swap space, what are you trying to run that's over 2gb [19:27] when i click x-chat it opens up but closes immediately [19:27] ASULutzy dunnno, never had probs running nautilus via sudo :) [19:27] tschaka^: Yea this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [19:27] right now im chatting on irssi ;s [19:27] su on its own tries to change user to root Phantomas so it won't accept [19:28] Phantomas: do sudo [19:28] Ette: may i pm you as windows is off-topic in here, but i could point you in the direction of a Win XP OEM disc if thats what you are running [19:28] anyone have any tips ?

[19:29] krazy_waka: sure [19:29] pub run xchat from terminal and see what happens. [19:29] frostburn: you guys have different opinions and I dunno the truth [19:29] tschaka^: Yea, I've never had any problems with it, just like I've never had a problem using sudo su to do things. I guess it just boils down to a "best practices" thing [19:29] true :) [19:30] why cant i delete the whole content of a folder using lftp? rm * gets me a "Access failed: 550 *: No such file or directory" [19:30] rampageoberon and if i want to get super user access? [19:31] what im trying to do is have Xchat start when I click on a irc link...now when i click on a link it just asks me what program I want to use to open the link and I dont know what file to link to(or where it is) to start the Xchat program. [19:31] Phantomas: by default ubuntu doesn't enable root account, you should use sudo for temporary root privilages [19:31] phantomas: you dont, sudo does what you want and does it well. [19:31] Phantomas: sudo is pretty much all you will need [19:31] Phantomas: You can use sudo -i [19:31] Im having some errors installing ubuntu, MD5 check and package.gz read error. [19:32] ok thank you all [19:32] Ette have you looked in /usr/bin [19:34] Jack_Sparrow: do you think this guide is of any use? - http://www.linuxmonitor.net/blog/2007/03/ultimate-ubuntu-performance-tweaking.html [19:34] Nickey, well, for opening an office document, swap space isn't necessary.

[19:36] Can any1 give me a hand with Ubuntu installation? [19:36] XXer and u might want to use "xchat" instead of "xchat-gnome" [19:36] Is there some Ubuntu package that installs software that acts as a DNS server that could be used for DNS lookups by remote machines [19:36] XXer: Can't you just run "which xchat" ? [19:36] hello [19:36] XXer: for example for me if I type "which pidgin" it returns /usr/bin/pidgin [19:36] Bilge: for dns server look at the package BIND [19:37] hello [19:37] I thought that was for setting up new names though [19:37] I just want my server to act as a lookup server [19:37] ill try that [19:37] frostburn, thank you :) I actually had a problem with a VMD console, not an Ubuntu terminal, and I wanted to see if there was a more general solution [19:37] Bilge: BIND does what you want [19:37] OK thanks then [19:37] I need help to troubleshoot NFS on ubunut.

[19:52] I wonder if I should file a bug report for that... it seems dumb that Ubuntu's built in "connect to server" for ssh only allows you to connect to password protected ssh servers and not public/private key pair ones. [19:53] how can i format my exeternal harddisk?? [19:53] porkchop86: Compiz does not work with extended desktops beyond a certain region. As far as I know there's no way around that, but I could definitely be wrong [19:53] Gigahertz123, there are a LOT of tutorials to do that on the net [19:53] ASULutzy, ehh I used it with private keys [19:53] my k3b doesn't make a new audio cd project if I drag in a mp3 file ..... maybe I'm missing a plug-in for that.... like mpgdecoder. what's your opinion?

So I connected to the internet through my wifi and downloaded all the updates via synaptic, which apparently included a kernel update from 8.04.16 to 8.04.19. Wireless outright refuses to work in 8.04.19 but works fine in 8.04.16. What the cra [19:54] ASULutzy, i.e. to do keys I had to use the command line now that might be a worthwhile bug [19:54] ompaul: right, but how do I even tell Ubuntu's "connect to server" feature where the key is at?

Theres jokes on tech support websites about that happening [20:07] theFATMAN there's no simple way of cracking encryption, that's the point [20:07] badassmuther Please change your nick now [20:07] ompaul: ssh -C $USER@myhost worked... But why won't it work through the built in connect to server I wonder.... [20:07] Slart: I vaguely recall a program that is for this purpose, any ideas? [20:07] i belive there is a brute force password cracker in the repo [20:07] theFATMAN: that's kind of the whole idea behind encrypting it.. =) [20:08] ASULutzy, that we will leave as an exercise for the user I already advised you the authorized_keys are usually expected to be in .ssh [20:08] Slart: I vaguely recall a program that is for this purpose, any ideas? [20:08] theFATMAN: there are a lot of brute force crackers around, using them is probably beyond the scope of an IRC chat [20:08] theFATMAN: go out into the shadier parts of the internet.. google might be helpful.. I won't say more.. I'll just get a !piracy or !cracking in the back of my head =) [20:08] wiijii: isnt there one in the repo's?

[20:21] hi [20:21] and it just sits there for 5+ min and says page load error [20:21] wiijii, inbuilt, it's an hp pavilion dv1000 [20:21] quick question [20:22] how would i navigate to .Xdefaults via terminal [20:22] andrewboktor: ah OK I thought you may have had the same issues I had with an ExpressCard [20:22] hello ẞ [20:22] ubuntu server standqrd supports sata drives? [20:22] wols. that didn't help me [20:22] andrewboktor: presumably you've searched for installation guides regarding linux on a dv1000? [20:22] wiijii, so.. ? [20:22] natjo2: what is your default gateway? [20:22] wiijii, things worked on ubuntu 7.10 but not on ubuntu 8.04 [20:22] is there a good asterisk tutorial / howto anywhere out there? google doesnt seem to come up with anything [20:22] andrewboktor: I was thinking if it was the same error I had, I could help. But now maybe not [20:23] strange [20:23] did you install special drivers previously? [20:23] wols_: i'm not quite sure how to check that [20:23] wiijii, okay, thank you [20:23] natjo2: route -n [20:23] Can anyone help me figure out what device my USB thumb drive is? http://paste.ubuntu.com/19119/ [20:23] andrewboktor: sorry I can't help more [20:23] i need help with making a directory access, any1 can pm me? (no bot answer this time?) [20:23] wols_: hah, I never knew that command, nice one [20:23] i need help with evolution mail [20:23] Ddorda: no one will until you describe your problem [20:24] wols_: under the gateway heading all of them are 0.0.0.0 [20:24] i need to make a directory which any1 can read & write to it [20:24] Hello, I just upgraded to 8.04 and when idle in system monitor my CPU usage is about 70%, thou no Processes are taking anything above 2%...

[20:24] natjo2: pastebin it [20:24] linuxac# [20:24] #linuxac [20:24] on hardy heron, i have setup samba, i can see my windows computer on the workgroup, but cannot see any windows shares, i am using vista on the other pc [20:24] natjo2: and your gateway is not 0.0.0.0 or you couldn't use the router [20:24] housam1991: what are you trying to do? [20:24] Ward1983: Yes, I did. [20:25] afabian, make an image of it with dd, then use photorec on that image to retrieve your data [20:25] Ddorda, 'chmod 777 ', but you might want to read up on chmod, with 'man chmod' [20:25] Hi, how can I restore my system to factory settings. as i want to remove everything and start over with windows [20:25] hi, I have a gcc related question -> when i use free() function to delete some dynamically allocated pointer I obtain the following error*** glibc detected *** ./a.out: free(): invalid pointer: and a bunch of memory adresses [20:25] Ward1983: I don't really care about the data. I can't seem to figure out what the device is. It's not /dev/sdc, apparently..? [20:25] enterneo: samba is not used to mount vista shares at all. smbfs/cifs is [20:26] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19121/ [20:26] PeterP24: ##C [20:26] Hi, I'm building a meta-dpkg and it has a bunch of dependencies that are also available in my repository, when I try installing I get a message about some of my dependencies stating "Depends: but it is not going to be installed" [20:26] ? [20:26] natjo2: you do not use your router. why is there a ppp0 in there? [20:26] I don't understand this message [20:26] Here is a pastebin of the output and my control file: http://pastebin.com/d1efb6512 [20:26] wols_: how do i go about it? [20:26] can someone tell me how to turn off join/leave messages plz? [20:26] And here is a pastebin of apt-cache policy : http://pastebin.com/d7e10ae2b [20:26] question about compiz fusion please, when i first installed the cube it let me hold down left and right mouse buttons and ic ould drag the cube around, but now its my mouse wheel.. how would i get it back to the mouse buttons? [20:27] wols_: because the only way i can connect to the internet is using sudo pppoeconf [20:27] ah the C irc chanel ok; I'm not used to your notations here in the chat [20:27] Hello, I just upgraded to 8.04 and when idle in system monitor my CPU usage is about 70%, thou no Processes are taking anything above 2%... Can anyone tell me what is happening? [20:27] enterneo: you talk about gnome. I don't know there [20:27] Ironeye: heh, this isn't exactly the channel for that, but do you have a factory restore CD? Or some kind of cd that came with the system to restore it to original settings? Otherwise, do you have a restore partition on your hard drive that came with a system restore thing installed to it? [20:27] use compiz-config-settings? [20:27] natjo2: then you bypass your router [20:27] /ignore #ubuntu JOIN PART QUITS [20:27] has anyone here ever installed a telnet server? (yes I know it's horribly insecure, yes I know ssh is better) [20:27] is there a good asterisk tutorial / howto anywhere out there? google doesnt seem to come up with anything [20:27] Cliph: thanks [20:27] Kremlin[NA]: in system monitor do View all processes and see what is using up the CPU [20:27] Cliph: you don't use apt to install your own packages. use dpkg [20:27] I installed the telnet server, but I can't seem to start it no matter what I try [20:28] wols_: I do, I have my own apt repository for this [20:28] can you compile and install alsa-dev on top of the current alsa driver on ubuntu ? [20:28] Cliph: then it's not set up properly [20:28] Kremlin[NA]: by default system monitor only shows you your processes, so you want to see all users processes [20:28] wols_: "Unfortunately, this may not be true if your grandmother expects to connect to a Windows/SMB/CIFS share. After upgrading, we discovered that we couldn't connect to our corporate servers with 8.04, despite having no problems with 7.10 and previous versions. Upon investigation, this proved due to a known and unfixed bug related to GNOME 2.22's new virtual filing system and Active Directory, which fails to establish authentication properly under various c [20:28] wols_: so by doing ppoeconf i've bypassed my router and so how can i disable the pppoeconf? [20:28] i need to install the newest dev package to get my emu 0404 usb 2.0 sound card working. [20:28] hmm that didn't work, still lots of joins and leaves [20:28] natjo2: don't run pppd [20:28] wols_: that would seem to be the case, it works in all other cases, and my metapackages were working previously, so I don't understand the message [20:28] wiijii: xchat? [20:29] ASULutzy: Its because I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and to many things are going wrong. when I try boot windows using the disc it says hard disk drive not found. So as I'm more familiar with windows I would rather go back to that. [20:29] weechat [20:29] console [20:29] firefox and other things that use audio won't open/play, how do I see what is locking up the audio device? [20:29] wiijii: sorry no idea [20:29] i just don't want to install alsa driver on top if it will screw up my system. [20:29] np [20:29] Ironeye: That's probably not a huge problem? [20:29] Cliph: your new packages are NOT in your repo.end of story. either you put them in or you use dpkg, your choice [20:29] wiijii: /ignore * join #ubuntu freenode [20:29] Ironeye: You probably just need to edit the grub line for Windows [20:29] Cliph: and next time come here DIRECTLY [20:29] rampageoberon: View -> All processes? there is xord at 7% and vinoserver at 12% thats all [20:29] its still taking 705 CPU Kremlin[NA] [20:29] Cliph: fiddle util apt-cache policy shows a candidate from your repo [20:29] ASULutzy: how do i go about doing that? [20:29] wols_: yes, my debian packages are in the relevant distro of my repository, I know this bwecause I created the new distro [20:29] Kremlin[NA]: 70%? [20:29] Ironeye: give us the output of sudo fdisk -l in order to figure out where Windows is actually installed to [20:30] wols_: look at my output, it does show it [20:30] my outgoing messages in evolution mail not working [20:30] How can I renew my IP address? [20:30] it shows the very one is says that will not be installed [20:30] wiijii: you can substitute part and quit in there for the necessary messages. [20:30] Cliph: it's not the meta package that has to be in ther. ALL, including dependencies have to be [20:30] ASULutzy: whats that website i paste it to? [20:30] Ok..

[20:31] Cliph: apt-cache policy output for the -gui one then [20:31] rampageoberon: yeah it is.. but strangely if I navigate away from the "resources" tab for a bit and then return I can see that when NOT having the resources tab open the CPU % drops to about 20%, but then returns to about 70% when I return to the "resources" tab [20:31] Grim76_: cheers mate [20:31] natjo2: unisntall pppd [20:31] hi, i just move from gentoo to ubuntu (hardy), is there "testing" and "unstable" sources like debian had? [20:31] ASULutzy: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/19122/ [20:31] apastinen: No. Ubuntu is not a rolling release like Debian is. [20:31] anyone use roottail ? [20:31] wiijii: Ran into the same things myself...I use weechat for 99% of my irc time. [20:31] Ironeye: You typed it wrong. sudo fdisk -l [20:31] I installed Xorg; or tried to at least; and now when the system boots; it gets to a point where it freezes and I can't do anything. If I try to reboot into recovery mode I get the same thing. I can't seem to do much at the grub command linel. [20:31] Ironeye: that's a lowercase L [20:31] Kremlin[NA]: in my experience gnome-system-monitor takes a lot of CPU, to try something else install and try using htop in command line [20:31] wols_: http://pastebin.com/d775b6e79 [20:32] Pici: so i just have to live kernel what i now have? === MrE is now known as MrE-- [20:32] What should the grub menu look like for recoverymode? [20:32] apastinen: My impression is that one wanting to run unstable software ought to have some fortitude in reading official documentation and figuring out the development process. But, anyway, all Linux distributions have some kind of development branch, and you can usually run it. Ubuntu is no different. [20:32] Depends: jazinga-gui (>= 1.10.2) but it is not going to be installed === krishna_ is now known as john_ [20:32] Grim76_: yeah irc is pretty much ideally suited to console [20:32] ASULutzy: lets try again http://paste.ubuntu.com/19123/ [20:32] Cliph: and you still get http://pastebin.com/d3ff76a8b ? [20:33] can voice chat is possible in ubuntu 8.04 [20:33] How can I "repair" a network connection? [20:33] Has anyone turned up that knows anything about VTK or visualisation, esp. in Python? [20:33] wols_: yes [20:33] Is there a solution to why my background disappears when i startup my comp. Yes i have compiz running [20:33] apastinen: The closest thing to a testing repo is -proposed. But thats not really the same thing. Yes, just the live kernel plus any little patches, not a full version bump [20:33] wols_: and that is done by going to synaptic? [20:33] does ubuntu 8.04 have something that keeps it from working correctly with my ata cdrom? [20:33] rampageoberon: if I quickly switch between resources and processes tab I can see that it is "Xorg" which is taking all the resources. But as I navigate away Xorg falls to sleep instantly [20:33] is there anyway to get past this X-DOM shit when i download video files, i know it's an encoder but how do i get them to work without buying the decoder [20:33] afabian: great, so how can i get newer kernel? [20:33] Cliph: I actually don't believe you. ask someone else [20:33] I mean, i can boot the cd, i can usually start the install, and then it craps out [20:33] Pici: sounds great.. [20:33] Hey guys. Im new to Ubuntu (installed yesterday), and I was wondering what email server is the best? [20:33] Ironeye: Oh... So you overwrote your Windows partition... Yea, so Windows is completely gone, that's a bummer. Also there's no restore partition on your hard drive. If you want to go back to Windows from here you'll need either a system restore CD that came with your computer, or a Windows install CD. [20:33] Kremlin[NA]: yes i get the same from Xorg occassionally, no idea what to do about it [20:34] !best | MrE-- [20:34] MrE--: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:34] how can do voice chat in ubuntu [20:34] group: how do i install this? NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run [20:34] ironeye do you have a legit key for windows?

[20:35] compubomb: check for a bigmem kernel [20:35] rampageoberon: Strange.. and I guess its only there when the resources tab is open :( Doesnt Xorg have something to do with the graptics? Could I be that I have a custom resolution or bad numbers in my custom res ? [20:35] group: how do i install this? NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run [20:35] apastinen: Someone mentioned proposed. I'd stay away from messing with the kernel unless you're having a problem. I'd look in the proposed updates repository, download the deb manually, and install it, rather than updating the proposed repository. [20:35] Is it possible to remotely change display managers for other users? [20:35] Ironeye: That hard drive is probably a SATA drive, and XP won't install to those without the right drivers [20:35] !nvidia | jtaylor13 [20:35] jtaylor13: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:35] Who`s using Compiz Fusion? [20:35] apastinen: Rather than enabling the proposed repository, I mean. [20:35] ASULutzy: this pc used to run windows untill i installed windows [20:35] Kremlin[NA]: Xorg is pretty much responsible for your desktop (X window sytem) [20:35] Andri[DK]: there is only one display manager for everyone on the system [20:36] unavailable: if you mean a legal windows disc then yes i do [20:36] asulutzy i have sata, xp mce installed just fine without drivers [20:36] Kremlin[NA]: no idea about resoultions [20:36] Ironeye: Right, but XP will not install to a SATA drive from cd without the correct drivers [20:36] Ironeye: this is #ubuntu, not ##windows [20:36] !ot | ASULutzy [20:36] ASULutzy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:36] wols_: when i go to synaptic three things with ppp are installed: ppp, pppconfi, and pppoeconf. do i uninstall all of them? [20:36] Openoffice won't launch :(. No response when I click it in the menu, and when I type it in a terminal it just sits there, no output at all. [20:36] asulutzy i had it work just fine with SATA with no drivers [20:36] wols_: im running ubuntu and it caused more problems than its worth so i can sort issues out in her [20:36] unavailable: this is #ubuntu. please keep on topic [20:37] wols_: nothing like that exists, i don't see anything involving the words bigmem [20:37] Ironeye: the problem you are discussing right now is not ubuntu [20:37] afabian: i think i can live with it by setting apt::default something i can't remember it has many years i have use it.. [20:37] rampageoberon: Ahh ok, just seems so strange.. I dont want to CPu working at 70% 24/7 when its a server and is never turned off [20:37] wols: what I mean is that if i'm root. Can I make the user run the program on his own desktop. F.e. if I wan't to change window managers when battery power is initiated [20:37] i did apt-cache search kernel | grep "bigmem" [20:37] nothing. [20:37] compubomb: what videocard(s) do you have? how much memory? [20:37] apastinen: If you just want to enable proposed, there's a checkbox in the Synaptic options to do it. [20:37] Ironeye, so either you post your Ubuntu problems here or you join ##windows for your windows problems [20:37] wols_: my pc has 4gb of ram, i have 2 7600gt video cards in sli [20:37] Andri[DK]: I don't get what you mean [20:37] Kremlin[NA]: if its a pure server you don't need the gui, see ubuntu server [20:37] wols_: since installing it i have had no end of problems, if someone here can help then where is the harm [20:37] hi, how can I determine which driver/module is enabling a USB device? I want to remove it and replace it with a new driver [20:37] wols_, Ironeye, unavailable: Sorry, just trying to help someone out. @unavailable, that's why it breaks during setup and says "Push f8 to install custom drivers" or whatever. But yea, sorry this topic is out of the scope of #ubuntu I suppose. Ironeye if you want to pm me I suppose I could and help you from there, but Windows in general is fussy about what you install it to. The reason it's saying it doesn't detect any hard drives is becau [20:38] compubomb: I mean videocard ram [20:38] wols: I'm trying to write a acpi script that kills compiz when I'm on battery power but I also need it to start metacity [20:38] afabian: eh.. ok i try to find it.. i don't normally like this graphical ui.. [20:38] wols_: 512mb i believe [20:38] Kremlin[NA]: my computer is never turned off too, it does take a lot of cpu occassionally but not alwaus [20:38] wols_: i don't care about the video card memmory, i want my PC memmory to show up greater than 2gb [20:38] sudo dhclient [20:38] Andri[DK]: root can become any user and start stuff as this user. so your script could too [20:38] wols_: i have 4gb of ddr2 pc800 ram. [20:38] apastinen: If you really want to, you can uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and update your sources.. however you do it. With aptitude, or whatever. [20:38] it should show atleast 3gb or something. [20:39] compubomb: I don't care about what you say either then. have a nice day [20:39] wols_: :/ [20:39] I'm getting a ton of unknown symbol errors when I try to load the rt73usb driver, how can I update/reinstall for the kernel I'm using? (2.6.24-18-generic) [20:39] wols: and i'm aware how to do that in a terminal, just not how to start it in X [20:39] im using xubuntu and when i plugged in my kodak easyshare c433 camera to the usb port, nothing showed up, neither did anytning as a drive. what do i need to install to get this to pick up my pictures? [20:39] hello guys can somebody help me with an WLAN question? [20:39] How do I get back to a promot so I can fix the problem [20:39] Andri[DK]: set the DISPLAY environment variable and start the X program you want to run [20:39] wols_: my intention was not to upset you, i don't know how my video card has anything to do with the pc ram. [20:39] how can i get the latest firefox on ubunto? [20:39] ASULutzy: you have pm [20:40] apastinen: Actually, there are no lines to uncomment. You'd have to add them. you'd just use hardy-proposed as the distribution. man sources.list should clue you in on the file format. [20:40] antirobotrobot: hardy has 3.0rcsomething. this is not new enough for you? [20:40] wols_, how would is video card turn a 4 GB mem system into 2 GB, would you care to explain ? [20:40] Hello, I need to install the drivers for my radeon x600 but the drivers off the site cause my xserver to not start [20:40] joaopinto: yes I would care. use google [20:40] im using xubuntu and when i plugged in my kodak easyshare c433 camera to the usb port, nothing showed up, neither did anytning as a drive. what do i need to install to get this to pick up my pictures?

[20:41] afabian: thanks anyway [20:41] apastinen: Ah, sorry I couldn't help . Good luck with the problem. [20:41] I've a WLAN with an 13 keys HEX encryption but UBUNTO doesn't accept it...how can I get the right sttings [20:41] hi all [20:41] Hi, I've tracked a wireless+crashing issue to an irq problem. Is there a way I can fix this? [20:41] Hello, I need to install the drivers for my radeon x600 but the drivers off the site cause my xserver to not start [20:42] bayko7: which drivers exactly? [20:42] rampageoberon: I know I dont but Im a total linux noob go I have the gui for configuring things hehe [20:42] Noodels: reseat the card into another slot [20:42] the linux drivers for my x600 off the ati website [20:42] i need the name of the most succesful dvd burning software i can install by add/remove (to back up a recovery dvd) [20:42] fglrx drivers [20:42] wols_: Can I do that? It's a laptop. [20:42] bayko7: Have you tried using EnvyNG? [20:42] laughtear: k3b or brasero [20:42] Kremlin[NA]: fair enough but the server OS was made with no gui for a very good security reason [20:43] I'm not sure how to go abbout installing with envy [20:43] Noodels: then you can't. but I don't think it's a irq problem either [20:43] bayko7: Have you tried using the restricted drivers application? [20:43] yes [20:43] IS it possible to prevent installing "extra" packages? [20:43] wols_: I'll get the /proc/interrupts and ask you what you think? [20:43] Kremlin[NA]: and the best way to learn is to use the command line, as using the gui is never the solution [20:43] bayko7: when it fails and gets black, pastebin your Xorg.0.log file [20:43] bayko7: Just google EnvyNG, it'll be like, the first search result [20:43] rampageoberon: Its only for personal NAS storage and private ftp.. all other ports are locked anyway so I dont think anyone would hack it anyway [20:43] wols_: you didn't answer my question earlier about uninstalling pppd where do i go to do it and how [20:43] Odd-rationale: ok, i know brasero, but this dvd of "hp" is protected one, probably so brasero could not make it... any alternative else? [20:43] natjo2: yes [20:43] I'll try envy and get back to you guys, thanks a bunch [20:43] bayko7: You should probably paste your Xorg.0.log file, and maybe dmesg has something or another [20:44] im using xubuntu and when i plugged in my kodak easyshare c433 camera to the usb port, nothing showed up, neither did anytning as a drive. what do i need to install to get this to pick up my pictures? [20:44] natjo2: the answer is yes. but: you will lose internet the at first [20:44] bayko7: But yea, EnvyNG usually works [20:44] I've a WLAN with an 13 keys HEX encryption but UBUNTO doesn't accept it...how can I get the right sttings [20:44] ok thank you ASULutzy [20:44] kerin: What are "extra" packages? [20:44] ZenoTorando: what kind of hex encryption, wpa, wep, or something else? [20:44] laughtear: well, if libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo cannot unencrypt it then mostly likely no... [20:45] wols_: so all three pppoeconf, pppconfig, and ppp [20:45] @Starnestommy HEX [20:45] WEP [20:45] afabian: like, when i try to install wget it says "the following extra packages will be installed:" [20:45] does kodak cameras not get autodetected in xubuntu? [20:45] has anyone been able to mount windows shares over hardy heron successfully? [20:45] Odd-rationale: arr.. that's a little bit complicated for an amateur user like me...:) [20:45] ZenoTorando: since WEP is totally useless, either use WPA or no encryption [20:45] kerin: it installs other packages needed by that one [20:46] wep can be cracked in under 3 mins [20:46] whats that program/deamon that monitors windows and alter/set their size and other characteristics? [20:46] wols_: Here is the line: 5: 471 XT-PIC-XT Intel 82801DB-ICH4, bcm43xx [20:46] i know i know but some older clients doesnt accept WPA so I've to use the WEP at the moment [20:46] laughtear: recovery DVDs are not movies. they are not encrypted withz CSS. just use any DVD software you find [20:46] whats the command to check my kernel version?

[20:46] Noodels: so? PCI can have many devices sharing an IRC [20:46] *IRQ [20:46] keri, maybe because we have no kodak cam :) ? [20:47] ty ty [20:47] Noodels: did you get the bcm firmware from the windows driver? [20:47] well at least i know this works [20:47] im using xubuntu and when i plugged in my kodak easyshare c433 camera to the usb port, nothing showed up, neither did anytning as a drive. what do i need to install to get this to pick up my pictures? [20:47] wols_: Yes, but I can show you lines from the error log when it tries to use the card if you like. But if you have any better ideas of where to look, I'd gladly listen to your advice. [20:47] i people, I am running xubuntu 7.10 and trying to run ubuntu server 8.10 in qemu 0.9.0 [20:47] the installation procedure fails to detect the cdrom drive [20:47] did anyone got this problem before ? [20:47] Noodels: so what does the error log say? [20:47] wols_: Give me a minute. [20:47] if I've got a linux driver for my motherboard (Asus PK5) I should have no trouble using a raid array as a storage partition, correct? [20:48] I just have to load the driver, my question is when during setup do I do that [20:48] i need help getting my dual monitor to work in xp home. please [20:48] datapolitical: no. you have a fake raid. what you have is not a raid controller. use linux software raid [20:48] Doug_-_-_-_: ##windows [20:48] Doug_-_-_-_, try ##windows [20:49] has anyone in here worked with Raid 5 using a hardware controller?

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support.

[20:51] .... [20:51] anybody help me?? [20:51] Floggin: Xchat is much much better than pidgin in my opinion [20:51] !anyone | afancy [20:51] Doug_-_-_-_: #freenode is a channel name. now please go there. you don't have a ubuntu question [20:51] afancy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:51] wols_: Need an irc on the laptop now, give me a few minutes, and what is this pastebin?

[20:52] when I type sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk it says cant find package [20:52] datapolitical: if you don't believe me fine. but you're still wrong. please don't talk to me anymore. good bye [20:52] afancy: he means if you have a question you have to searcg for it first then ask here if you didn't find the answer [20:52] Light that is a drive compatablitity issue [20:53] Dasmoover: purge ALL wine packages again, delete .wine and try again [20:53] where to search?? [20:53] google [20:53] ok, what are all them called? [20:53] datapolitical, a mother board driver does not imply RAID support [20:53] there is a minor bug that happens on my GoVideo 6150 Chipset at times while in XP [20:53] a raid driver [20:53] for the motherboard [20:53] Hello, I am having some strange problems. I installed ubuntu, them copied to this computer the contents of my previous home folder, includen the hidden files inside my actual home folder. I don' t know exactly if my problems began at this point, cause I' ve already deleted all my hidden files and nothing. I have some strange behaviours. One is in my themes, I can' t change the window border colour, that is the same blue from my previous XFCE theme in th [20:53] scuse me [20:54] i'm wrong [20:54] So will this syntax " Floggin: open a chat with nickserv, then tell it "register " while using gamesurge too if it will [20:54] datapolitical: Most, if not all, "motherboard raid" is really software raid; the raid part is in the windows driver. [20:54] rafae1: your having the problem because you copied your .* files that effects your theme and lots of other things [20:55] Yes, but I already deleted. Created another user, and nothing. Maybe I messed something besides my home folder? [20:55] Hi, In ubuntu, when i minimize a window, it will hide automatically. How to make it not hide? thanks [20:55] does anyone meet this problem? [20:55] sorry, I cannot find the ansower by google [20:56] afancy: make sure that the window list applet is on the panel [20:56] Qnix: I thought creating another user would reset it, but no... [20:56] that is because google sucks [20:56] Qnix. Alos deleted all hidden files from roots home [20:56] try using a real engine www.dogpile.com [20:56] if it doesn't find it then your lost ont eh search [20:56] !language | Floggin [20:56] Floggin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:56] Starnestommy: what is the window list applet? [20:57] joaopinto: harsh [20:57] i take it back, its a seperate raid card [20:57] afancy, when you mean, the app hides, does it get listed on the app list window ? [20:57] Watch my language what [20:57] joaopinto, it is a web site [20:57] rafae1: :S why!! [20:57] The pastebin, when I put a syslog in there, do I put the whole syslog or just the necessary bits? [20:57] afancy: right click on a panel, select "add to panel", then look for "window list", select it, then hit the "add" button [20:57] datapolitical: what chip? [20:57] rafae1: deleting the hidden file will restart them and everything will be default in the next login [20:58] Qnix, Yes, but didn' t work for me. I still get only blue window border, instead of normal human colours [20:58] Qnix, and this strange behaviour applies to others themes... [20:58] ompaul, I am aware of that, but stating that "google sucks" is not a website, and is not helpfull either [20:59] Ok, thanks [20:59] I'm looking for a GUI tool that will let me combine, splice and otherwise manipulate videos, most specifically FLV's [20:59] Qnix I created a new user also, and this new user gets only bl;ue colours... Besides this problem of not beeing able to set my keybindings, wich I don' t know if are realted [20:59] #luban [20:59] how do I force evdev to detect /dev/input/event2 again after boot?

[21:00] yea, it's on the board, nm [21:00] Hello all again [21:00] is it worth getting a raid card [21:00] high guys [21:00] if i want to use the machine to store a shitload worth of data [21:00] datapolitical: depends on usage [21:00] Qnix - is there a deeper why to restore the default settings than creating new user. Tried reinstallation of numerous packages, as human theme, metacity, etc. But still nothing [21:00] and not have it fail [21:00] hello [21:00] guys, I have installed ubuntu and I had problems with my display so I used "metacity --replace" to turn compiz off [21:00] but how do I remove compiz? [21:00] !language | datapolitical [21:00] and use metacity by default? [21:00] datapolitical: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:01] I can't play any audio or video files :( can anyone help? [21:01] datapolitical: a software raid is more reliable actually [21:01] ah [21:01] using, i forget what it's called [21:01] Man sound problems are a pain. [21:01] rafae1, if creating a new user didn't help, than you changed system wide settings... [21:01] if a raidcard fails you need the exact same card again [21:01] rafae1: heheheh i don't know acctually im a GUIless dude , thats why im using irssi :D [21:01] datapolitical, note that the disks are the main point that might fail if your raid card goes you got problems big problems single point of failure [21:01] yea [21:01] :) [21:01] so here's the config I want [21:01] So what should I do?? Any step before having to install all over again [21:01] !enter | datapolitical [21:01] datapolitical: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:02] datapolitical: with linux softtware raid you just reinstall the OS on another machine [21:02] right now i have 6 drives in the machine, all running raid 5 [21:02] ah [21:02] oka [21:02] hehe [21:02] datapolitical: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:02] rafae1: :D hope you'll find someone to help you .. or just get the important file and use windows :P LOL or reinstall deb [21:02] I also work without gui in gentoo, but sometimes I use image editing programs... [21:02] datapolitical: stop that entiering already [21:02] rafae1: ;) [21:02] rafae1: libcaca0 to the rescue then and you never have to leave CLI! [21:02] anyway, I'd like to (sorry about the entering) set up 4 drives in raid 5 as storage, one as a boot drive for windows, one as a boot drive for ubuntu (each drive is 250GB) [21:02] rafae1: i used to work on gentoo for a long time ... i love it!!! it wastes the whole day in installing things on it :P LOL!! [21:03] if I use evdev, the hotplug function does not work [21:03] how do I make it work with hotplug? [21:03] !lol | Qnix [21:03] Qnix: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [21:03] datapolitical: doesn't answers the question: what do you want to do with the raid [21:03] ompaul: :P [21:03] wols: what is licaca0 [21:03] ubottu: okey sorry bot [21:03] Factoid okey sorry bot not found [21:03] rafae1: libcaca. look it up [21:03] ok [21:03] wols, I'd like to use it to store all the data I'd like to access in both windows and ubuntu (movies, music, etc) [21:04] datapolitical: not gonna happen [21:04] rafae1: libcaca0 [21:04] Any tips in salvaging data from a corrupt .doc file? Opening with OO.org results with "ASCII Filter Options" and then a "could not read data from file", while cat results in some text, then some jibberish and then an I/O error [21:04] rafae1: its a library to support caca in some multimedia players like mplayer libcaca views videos in ASII [21:04] rafae1: ASCII [21:05] jenda: file [21:05] datapolitical: Windows can't read a linux software-raid, so your best bet there is to set the raid up in Windows and then use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto to see if you can access the raid from Linux. [21:05] hm [21:05] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19128/ [21:05] datapolitical: ideally you buy yourself something like an icybox and put it under your table [21:06] Is that right? I wasn't sure whether to put the whole thing or not. [21:06] wols_: that just outputs "data" [21:06] Lynet i think it's a fair statement to say that hardware raid is generally preferable [21:06] Noodels: un 6 16:33:16 amanda-laptop NetworkManager: Activation (wlan1/wireless): association took too long (>60s), failing activation. [21:06] datapolitical: But as wols_ said, the best solution is probably to separate the storage to a separate box and access it over the network. Will remove any worries about which file syustem you should use on the raid. [21:06] hi all. how do i change my login screen? [21:06] jenda: doesn't look like it's a OOo file then [21:07] !askthebot help [21:07] Factoid askthebot help not found [21:07] yea [21:07] what's a good external box to put the drives in? [21:07] Icy [21:07] wols_: Works fine for all the wireless devices running windows in the house. [21:07] hi all. how do i change my login screen? [21:07] joseph you're asking the wrong question. What needs changing about it? [21:07] i just want it to look nicer [21:07] (icy, but which box?) [21:07] Ok, i will see it latter. But for restoring siustems setting in ubuntu no clue? Thought just reinstalling packages would be a solution bu t nope [21:07] joseph you mean a different wallpaper or something? [21:07] ya [21:08] wols_: it's a damaged .doc - the computer froze during the saving (for other reasons) [21:08] joseph have you bothered trying google yet? === joseph is now known as SeaBass [21:08] !google | snmpee [21:08] snmpee: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [21:08] yes and i got a website with themes, however most dont even work so i was wondering if there was a way to make my own === SeaBass is now known as SeaaBaass [21:09] http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Tweaking_Ubuntu_Themes_wallpapers_icons_and_fonts [21:09] I can't play any audio or video files :( can anyone help? but youtube works...

NTFS works fine for that [21:11] how do I make ps output only the pid? [21:11] joaopinto, thank ya [21:11] ASUlutzy yes, for storage [21:11] sofiankrt, man ps :) [21:11] wols: I mean, is the ndiswrapper on? I used the fwcutter method. [21:11] wols_: sure, I meant, there's nothing much _I_ can do other than laugh. Anyway, thanks for the help :) [21:11] Noodels: do not use ndiswrappre. it's not needed anymore [21:11] sofiankrt, pidof works well for that [21:11] jenda: you can try to get ascii from the file with strings for example === tshine is now known as tshine|afk [21:12] wols_: Well I'm not aware that I'm using it, hold on a moment while I put lsmod into the pastebin.

Modprobe can blacklist it right? [21:15] andre: mp3 is not free either [21:16] Tip that might save you an hour: if your sound is off when you upgrade to Hardy, check to see if the "Front" slider in ALSAmixer is turned all the way down. For some reason it did that to me on the upgrade [21:16] sofiankrt, sounds right, pidof is intended to get the pid (what you asked for) [21:17] hi all [21:17] need some help [21:17] nickrud: but if I search for ftp, it won't give me vsftpd, gftp etc, just ftp, right? [21:17] Is it safe to say it's best to uninstall the nvidia driver before upgrading to Hardy? [21:17] joaopinto: thanks! what does the awk part do? [21:18] sofiankrt, it parses the line into parameters (space delimited), and it prints the second parameter (which is the pid) [21:18] ive made the download of ubunto but when i try to install the loader keeps loading for 5 minutes and then it appears a black screen with letters [21:18] wols_: A line a just found in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, is this important?: blacklist bcm43xx [21:18] i <3 that Hardy plays flash videos on AMD64 without a special hack [21:18] snmpee: depends on the driver. if you installed it the ubuntu way, it will be fine. if you didn#t all bets are off [21:18] joaopinto: is there a simpler way of getting the pid? [21:19] wols_ hahahaha the ubuntu way doesn't give you the latest drivers with better accelleration in WINE games, so no. [21:19] sofiankrt, erm, using awk is simple, and a regular way to do it [21:19] snmpee: you are a bit mistaken. but to be expected [21:19] sofiankrt, phonr [21:19] Hey [21:20] I'm upgrading from gutsy to 8.04, the installer reports a popup "Could not install " a disheartening number of times. maybe 1/8 of all packages.

I've seen weird rendering errors on Facebook, Hotmail, GMail, Slashdot a few other sites [21:20] wols_ updating very seldom gives me the latest nvidia driver man it's a version off usually [21:20] dublpaws: what packages exactly and where did they come from? [21:20] snmpee: please stop talking to me [21:20] wols_: all over the board. [21:20] nickrud: what's phonr? [21:21] wols_: yes I'm aware, will convert them... [21:21] wols_: please don't be rude. [21:21] dublpaws: I am not psychic so I cannot know what their names are. stop talking to me until you can actually answer the posed question [21:21] sofiankrt, typo, on phone at work (on hold at the sec, brb) [21:21] ssl-cert, cupsys, .. are the most recent wols_ [21:21] snmpee: I said "please". and it would be really good manners if you actually followed the polite request [21:21] wols_: then don't help. I was wondering if it was typical. [21:22] joaopinto: do I use back ticks or single quotes? [21:22] dublpaws: that is strange since those are ubuntu core packages [21:22] dublpaws: check with apt-cache policy if your local apt knows about them [21:22] wobblywu, single quotes [21:22] erm, i mean sofiankrt [21:22] joaopinto, thanks :) [21:22] wols_: please stop talking to me i thought you wanted to end the conversation. my goodness and heavens to betsy were you born in a stable [21:22] ;P [21:22] why Portable drivers are read only?? [21:23] how can i solve this problem? [21:23] orgthingy: what filesystem? [21:23] wols_what do u mean by "filesystem" [21:23] I have the intel GMA X3100 vga and just installed 804 - read ubuntuforum and my problem is : How to activate the DVI and VGA outputs... I cannot choose the 2 monitors with resapplet because one of the screens go blank. Monitors are 1650x1050 and 1024x768 === snmpee is now known as _slow [21:23] wols_: If I replaced the line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist blacklist bcm43xx and replaced it with blacklist ndiswrapper, it should work? [21:24] !filesystem [21:24] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [21:24] joaopinto: can I just ps -e | grep fox | awk '{print $1}' ? [21:24] Noodels: unlikely [21:24] sofiankrt, that will just get the username... [21:24] joaopinto: to get the pid for firefox? [21:24] <_slow> Noodels: you'll need to ask the question in the form of a question [21:24] joaopinto: ps -e, not ps -fe [21:24] ~dvd [21:24] sofiankrt, on that case its safer to use "firefox", otherwise you mau catch wrong items [21:24] !dvd [21:24] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [21:24] ah, ok :) [21:24] Hi all. I'm new to Ubuntu (and Linux) and have a problem with my network configuration. I've posted a synopsis at the following link if anyone can offer any suggestions or advice. http://jandax.pastebin.com/f2f8c944e [21:24] wols_: i have 8.04 and the portable driver is a Palm [21:25] joaopinto: yeah, bad example. I meant something like getting all ftp processes [21:25] Alright, so I should definitely blacklist my ndiswrapper somehow? And if so, how? [21:25] orgthingy: and what type of filesystem does it use? [21:25] hi everyone. I can't seem to start my 64bit desktop install. I WAS having issues similar to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421876 but have overcome this. Now all I get no matter what I do is an (initramfs) prompt in a BusyBox shell. The installer wont start. Same if I try to boot to the live demo option, I just get BusyBox shell. [21:25] Anyone have any ideas? [21:25] wols_: god knows [21:25] wols_: but in general, how do i solve this problem? [21:25] !atom [21:25] Factoid atom not found [21:25] orgthingy: different mount options. gid,uid and umask. [21:26] orgthingy: if you have mounted the palm already you know what filesystem. otherwise you couldn't have mounted it [21:26] joaopinto: so I can just sudo kill `ps -e | grep ftp | awk '{print $1}'` to kill all ftp processes? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:27] wols_: i mounted it like 1 week ago, but i "decided" to ask now and i think i lost my palm :P [21:27] <_slow> delmar judging from this forum thread you've posted, there's several reasons why I would suggest this: Start over. Reason #1) you're installing Feisty and Hardy is out now Reason #2) You're not going yet so you won't lose valuable data and #3) it's way easier to reinstall than to fix a broken install [21:27] sofiankrt, for killing is just easier to: sudo killall ftp [21:27] :) [21:27] _slow, ah sorrt. I AM installing 8.04 [21:27] <_slow> delmar oh [21:27] _________________________________________________ [21:27] / /| [21:27] +------------------------------------------------+ | [21:27] | wols_: http://www.feem.net/~deadbum/debian.jpg | | [21:27] +------------------------------------------------+/ [21:27] battlesaq: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:28] joaopinto: oh? that's much easier! [21:28] :) [21:28] joaopinto: and that will kill vsftpd, gftp etc, or just ftp? [21:28] battlesaq, please don't do that [21:28] _slow, but its the same problem.. or was.. I was only getting.. kernel alive, then kernel direct mapping tables blah blah.. then it would stop and do nothing. [21:28] sofiankrt, only "ftp" processes [21:28] sofiankrt, you get yourself setup [21:28] after doing the nospach noapic thing it works more. [21:29] nickrud: pardon? [21:29] joaopinto: gah, I'll just write a script to do it [21:29] for the previous approach: ps -e | grep ftp | awk '{print $1}' | sudo xargs kill [21:29] <_slow> delmar have you checked for a newer BIOS version for your board? The APIC problem is usually fixed when the BIOS people make new releases [21:29] sofiankrt, supposed to be question, I see you're talking to someone about it (work sometimes takes precedence, I'm pretty good about ignoring it when I can :) [21:29] wols_: So what do you think this problem is? Just ndiswrapper? [21:29] joaopinto: what's xargs? [21:29] sofiankrt, man xargs :) [21:29] ohhh, latest firefox is in hardy-proposed [21:30] why did battlesaq get banned? [21:30] <_slow> delmar this isn't #hardware but also keep in mind that newer BIOS doesn't necessarily mean it's teh right BIOS. always read the release notes. [21:30] Noodels: the problem is your auth took too long [21:30] hallo! i installed ubuntustudio the last days - in this repo-package is a audio-package for system events - is there a audio-package for [main] ubuntu hardy!? [21:30] _slow, yep. latest bios but in fact... if I remove 'quiet' and add nosplash and dont bother with noapic it does still boot up and do more. takes a while tho but it never ever starts the UI or install or anything. all i get is the (initramfs) prompt in the BusyBox shell [21:30] wols_: What could cause+fix that? [21:30] <_slow> delmar additionally have you tried installing by turning off APIC in CMOS? [21:31] another driver possibly [21:31] <_slow> *by/after [21:31] joaopinto: lol, shoulda known [21:31] * delcoyote hi [21:31] nickrud: no, but we're discussing the best way to kill a process, don't you agree? === ballzee is now known as Sinister [21:32] sofiankrt, yeah, I like xargs myself :) [21:32] _slow, didn't see an option to disable apic in bios. lets assume for a moment thats not the issue though because I was able to boot with or without that noapic boot option. [21:32] nickrud: so I've come out with the conclusion that writing a script asking for user input and then substituting it is the best way [21:32] <_slow> delmar restate the question i'm out of ideas [21:32] wols_: I'm not sure where I could get different drivers, I thought it was more like one driver fits all. [21:32] _slow, here is my theory... by default.. all I get is the two lines.. kernel alive, and kernel direct mapping tables blah... then it seems to sit there [21:32] nickrud: what do you think? [21:33] _slow, in the background it IS actually booting.. but never gets past the initramfs thing so no matter how long I leave it.. i will never see the UI initialise.... [21:33] sofiankrt, what are you trying to achieve in general (besides killing the ftp processes) ? [21:33] Noodels: there are 3 different drivers available for your card: ndiswrapper, bcm43xx and the new ieee80211 softmac stack bcm43xx driver [21:33] _slow, removing 'quiet' and adding 'nosplash' I am now able to see it booting, and axs the initramfs prompt when its done... [21:34] joaopinto: killing a process without typing in it's full name [21:34] _slow, so all I have achieved is to see whats really going on behind the scenes.. and need to fix whatever it is thats causing it to drop to initramfs all the time [21:34] wols_: So if the ndiswrapper is a bad method to try, ( or at least, I've been told ), I should look for the ieee80211 driver? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [21:35] <_slow> delmar forgive me if this sounds pejorative but I saw this solution on a forum: Are you absolutely certain you have the AMD64 installer [21:35] Noodels: yes [21:35] _slow, naturally that must be something to do with hardware... somehow, since we know the .iso install works fine on other systems... Im just not sure what it is. [21:35] _slow, yep its 8.04 64bit desktop. [21:35] I have a program trying to use a binary called C++ to compile, but I can't find any tool named C++ in the repositories, help please? [21:35] Where could I find this tool? [21:35] <_slow> delmar ok because there was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=716189 with the same symptoms [21:35] delmar: if you get the busybox shell there was an error before that. what is that error? [21:36] Sexygurl, sudo apt-get install build-essential <<< do that and you will get C++ and lots more [21:36] !build-essential | Sexygurl [21:36] Sexygurl: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [21:36] wols_, ok maybe I will try again and look in.. dmesg or somewhere? [21:36] ompaul, oh... I thought I already had it... [21:36] wols_, didn't see anything major as I was watching the console. [21:36] delmar: on your screen. there is no log daemon yet when the disk the logs are on is not mounted and can't be mounted [21:36] Sexygurl, obviously no [21:36] ;-0 [21:37] ompaul: C++ does not exist. g++ does [21:37] wols_, there is that [21:37] wols_, some stuff screams past tho. is there a way to pause it? [21:37] Sexygurl: a binary C++ doesn't exist anywhere. C++ is the name of theprogramming language [21:37] Sexygurl, ^^ see wols_ comment [21:37] <_slow> delmar you might have to do this a couple of times. are you using a crt and it's not warming up enough for you to see the messages yet? [21:37] delmar: oause [21:37] delmar: pause [21:37] k [21:37] _slow, nah it's a DVI LCD. things are all good when it boots without quiet. I can see it all.. sometimes just a little too fast is all [21:38] delmar: with a serial console it would be easier [21:38] _slow, ill go read that post a sec. [21:38] <_slow> all hail Technoviking [21:38] wols_: Any idea where to find any of these drivers / a guide to installing them? [21:38] sup [21:38] wols_, theres an idea... and i think there IS a serial post on this box... uh but there is no serial port on the laptop :( [21:38] hey hey [21:38] Noodels: the drivers are part of the ubuntu kernel (you still need the broadcom firmware of course) [21:39] wols_: Great, so I just need to load them. [21:39] wols_, but... I executed a make file and it says "c++ -Wall -g2 `pkg-config --cflags cairomm-1.0 libsvg-cairo gtkmm-2.4 libglademm-2.4` -c main.cpp -o main.o" [21:39] * Technoviking demands a dance beat [21:39] is this channel suited for posing a kernel compilation related question or there is a specialized channel? [21:39] Sexygurl: /usr/bin/c++ exists. C++ is something totally different tho (linux is always case sensitive) [21:39] hi, i can't get ytalk working at all. it doesn't seem to be configured properly after installation. all of the information i can find about it is really dated. does anyone use ytalk and the talk daemon? [21:39] _slow, last night I read that these intel cpu's are not true 64bit and stuff so I almost gave up but it seems that since my mobo and cpu are both EM64T it should work. [21:39] PeterP24: ##kernel [21:40] PeterP24: depends on the question. if there is a better suited one we will redirect you [21:40] k, thanks [21:40] wols_, ok. [21:40] whats the name of a good screen recording program? [21:40] anybody aware of documentation about how to package your own distrobution of ubuntu? [21:40] I need some help real quick.

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:40] <_slow> delmar Oh, well if it's not really 64 bit then you should use the 32 bit [21:40] i think i might be able to find the guide [21:40] delmar: they are true 64bit. who ever wrote that was without a clue. ignor them [21:40] hey people wheres my mozilla folder.....im doing a search but it takes forever...can anyone help me. i just need to know where its at [21:40] delmar: what is your cpu? [21:40] connor: thanks ;-) [21:40] hello [21:40] wait [21:40] Noodels: put the driver in /etc/modules and possible blacklist the others [21:40] cant find it [21:41] wait [21:41] well I don't know; I compiled a new kernel (2.6.25.5) in gutsy and now it won't start [21:41] hey people wheres my mozilla folder.....im doing a search but it takes forever...can anyone help me. i just need to know where its at [21:41] google pendrivelinux, the guide was on that site [21:41] joseph: ~/.mozilla/ [21:41] PeterP24: there are errors [21:41] thanks [21:41] hello evryone [21:41] can one please explain to me the usefulness of the 3-state checkbox? [21:41] is it hidden? [21:41] ompaul I wasn't trying to rush anyone I just logged in and was trying to find someone with a few seconds to spare. [21:41] joseph: in your ~ [21:41] wols_, do you know where I can find a library called libsvg-cairo? I can't find it in the repository. :( [21:41] thanks [21:41] i have problems with a pendrive usb [21:41] I don't know were to search [21:41] does that mean home?

[21:41] thanks [21:41] hi. how would i go about getting pidgin 2.4.2 working on gutsy? there only appear to be packages available for hardy, and because i already have a working gutsy install i'm a bit reluctant to upgrade to hardy for that one app. [21:41] well [21:41] It doesn't say anything it just hang with a black screen [21:41] i know what it is [21:41] <_slow> Boxxxer: a) yes i can explain b) no i can't explain c) i don't know if i can explain. there's your three state checkbox. [21:42] i put a pendrive in ubuntru [21:42] wols_: The driver name being ieee80211? [21:42] then [21:42] Noodels: no [21:42] wols_, um no actually. i did quite a lot of reading and for example.. my CPU.. http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7 ... is actually a true 32bit core with extra 64bit extensions and registers. essentially it's a hack. [21:42] i cant open [21:42] Sexygurl, what are you trying to compile? [21:42] because the label are changing [21:42] i think [21:42] delmar: bullshit [21:42] neurobuntu, http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8Q7 [21:42] ompaul, a little Cairo demo program. [21:42] wols_: Um, what then? [21:42] <_slow> Boxxxer also, let's say you have a software installation tree. The three state checkbox can be used to indicate that some of the components in the subcategory are to be installed but not all of them. [21:43] I need to log into a server I have online so I can transfer files to and from my computer I have the login and pass as well as the url could someone please walk me through it real quick. [21:43] Noodels: look in the same aread os the ieee driver for the bcm one [21:43] !b43 [21:43] Factoid b43 not found [21:43] ompaul, it's called cairo-in-motion. [21:43] Boxxxer: A typical example is where you have a tree structure containing a three-state check box at the root, with two-state children. The three-state can show a) all sub options selected; b) no sub options selected; c) some sub options selected. [21:43] Noodels: look for b43 [21:43] how many thousands of drivers does the Linux kernel have built-in? [21:43] nickolaus, what file transfer service is installed on the server ? ftp ? [21:43] <_slow> andy56_uk yeah that's what i just said pretty much [21:44] is anyone familiar with ytalk and the talk daemon? [21:44] <_slow> andy56_uk you put it more eloquently though [21:44] _slow: posts crossed - no offence intended [21:44] anyone know?

[21:44] andy56_uk, thank you [21:44] wols_, it's not there. [21:45] whats the default record button for istanbul? [21:45] Sexygurl, I can't find a libsvg-cairo so I suggest you check out what is around using apt-cache search libsvg and cairo and see if it works for you [21:45] nickolaus, well, that could be FTP, SFTP or samba [21:45] Sexygurl: then ubuntu doesn't have it. check CAIRO sites [21:45] wols_, alright. [21:45] joaopinto I'm sure it FTP [21:45] Sexygurl, maybe you are looking for librsvg2-dev [21:45] connor: is the guide for any distro of linux or just ubuntu? [21:45] nickolaus, so you just need to ftp to the server, and provide the user and pass... [21:45] joaopinto, I already have that, I'm sure. [21:45] wols_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 [21:46] I'm developing a suite of apps that I would like to bundle into a unique distrobution of linux [21:46] hello all :-) [21:46] neurobuntu: if i remember correctly it was for ubuntu [21:46] hi [21:46] Is it possible to change your processor in your computer out without reinstalling ubuntu? [21:46] probably yes [21:46] Kremlin: yes [21:46] a processor is hardware [21:46] delmar: I know what x86-64 is thank you very much [21:46] Kremlin[NA], yes [21:46] wols_: That brings up a lot.. And I'm not sure what I'm looking for. [21:46] NICE [21:46] Noodels: locate b43|grep modules [21:46] quick question from a noob :-) if i copy a file from ubuntu to a ntfs partition just using copy and paste will that work [21:46] nickolaus: I'm sure you could use scp [21:46] Well, I remember windows wasnt happy sometimes if you did this, but this is great [21:47] <_slow> I'll take Kremlin[NA]'s question further: what about changing out your x86 whith an AMD64? [21:47] AL-G77, if you have the required permissions, yes [21:47] AL-G77: yes if the ntfs partition is writable [21:47] question about firefox 2 [21:47] how can i get a button on the side of my mouse to go back and forward for pages? [21:47] cool :-) i was worried xp still wouldn';t read it :-) [21:47] on firefox 2? [21:47] Kremlin[NA]: how ever if you are doing a major upgrade, from one MOBO to another it would probably be best to do a clean install. Also if you upgrade from a 32bit cpu to a 64bit cpu ubuntu will still only be operating as a 32bit os [21:47] thanks guys [21:47] _slow: and AMD64 IS a x86 [21:47] _slow, yes, also [21:47] wols_, dont get your knickers in a twist.. I AM interested in what you have to say if you have a different view... also I read stuff on here.. http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t5534.html [21:48] wols_: Three groups, one for each 16-generic to 18-generic. [21:48] #firefox [21:48] neurobuntu: why would you need to do a clean install if changing mobo's? nothing will have changed on the kernel after changing them [21:48] <_slow> you can twist my knickers all you want [21:48] wols_, the picture I got when reading around the place is that EM64T is essentially a 64bit register extension to accommodate more ram. [21:48] neurobuntu: mobo change doesn't need a reinstall under linux. this is not windows [21:48] Hi, I want to discover which program is running on port 25. I've got nmap. Do you know how can I do it? [21:49] <_slow> SMTP [21:49] delmar: your picture is a) wrong and b) offtopic in here [21:49] ompaul, I didn't find it. [21:49] wols_, and also provides other 64bit extensions too. but thats what it is.. 'extension'. [21:49] yme: it's probably an smtp server [21:49] neurobuntu: Im not actually sure which CPU it is I have in the box now. system monitor says : Intel Celeron D CPU 3.2ghz. I have a Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13ghz lying around.. Would that make the pc a whole lot faster? [21:49] yme: nmap is the wrong thing to use [21:49] <_slow> yme: nmap -p 25 (the ip) [21:49] Sexygurl, as I said I did not find it but you might find something there [21:49] <_slow> yme: nmap -sV -p 25 (the ip) rather [21:49] wols_, ok. cheers. I was interested in your comments on that post but anyway. [21:49] wols_: Do these mean I just want to add b43 to my /etc/modules? [21:49] yme, lsof | grep 25 [21:49] my network connection seems to randomly stop working. i can make it work again by either rebooting or typing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and im on ubuntu 8.04. can anyone help? [21:49] the messages which apear during the boot > in which log are printed? [21:50] <_slow> you can do it with lsof too [21:50] Noodels: only if your running kernel has the module [21:50] ompaul, it wasn't in the cache. I think I'll check the cairo website. [21:50] dobranoc [21:50] Sexygurl, that would be a good idea [21:50] ompaul: too many false positives :P [21:50] wols_: It has b43.ko and b43legacy.ko, are those what I'm looking for? [21:50] Noodels: b43 [21:51] wols_, well I am not going to give a lecture in the value of escaping a single space ;-) [21:51] is it possible to install ubuntu from a scsi cd drive?

X( can't I just drop it in some directory? [21:52] _slow: are you talking to me? are you sure there is no way to fix the problem without switching network cards? I don't have this problem in windows xp, btw. [21:52] joaopinto, it says that sendmail was not installed [21:52] Kremlin[NA] cpus unlike video cards or HDD have pretty specific sockets they fit into, this is to help make sure that CPUs are compatible with MOBOs [21:52] wols_, after i choose an option from the startup menu, it locks up [21:52] hi. how would i go about getting pidgin 2.4.2 working on gutsy? there only appear to be packages available for hardy, and because i already have a working gutsy install i'm a bit reluctant to upgrade to hardy for that one app. [21:52] yme: dpkg -l |grep exim [21:52] yme, erm, so it was not installed using an apt package [21:52] Sexygurl, it looks like a lib and being part of something else read the read me on it [21:52] <_slow> joaopinto he could also have postfix installed you know [21:52] neurobuntu, celeron D's almost always use socket 775, so do core 2 duos [21:52] _slow: and i don't have a spare network card... [21:52] asulutzy just hopefully finished helping ironeye with his setup problem, turns out his a8v may have a bios setting blocking the detection of his sata in windows setup... [21:52] _slow, I am not sure postfix uses a sendmail header [21:52] _slow, so that post referred to someone trying to install 32bit version when they wanted 64bit, which should have worked anyway but anyway... I have the 64bit edition most certainly. [21:52] neurobuntu, it's the FSB that may make a difference, but it's a low end core 2 duo so there's a good chance it'll be fine [21:53] dmsuperman_: do they have the same stepping? [21:53] does the ubuntu install cd have lvm support? or do I need to use the alternate install cd? [21:53] other than that gave him his drivers and all that [21:53] Sexygurl, consider this place as a signpost towards a solution we may not know exactly what it is you need but we most likely know which road you need to walk [21:53] I dont' need to install, just to copy the data to an lvm drive and setup the bootloader [21:53] ompaul, haha, alright. :D [21:53] dmsuperman_: but generally swapping cpus around is must less likely to work then other hardware [21:53] neurobuntu, not sure what you mean by that [21:53] <_slow> delmar i'm out ask wols_ [21:53] my friend recently baught a asus EEE, and now hes looking for me to help him set up his wifi, can anyone point me in the direction of that distro's help files? [21:53] _wols, I did it, nothing happened [21:53] neurobuntu, agreed there, I'm just saying that a low end core 2 duo and a celeron D are very likely to work in the same mobo's [21:54] _slow, and wols_ thank you for your thoughts.

[21:56] hi [21:56] Hello [21:56] neurobuntu, is that an AMD thing? As far as I know, as long as the sockets fit it'll work with intel. Worst case scenario, the FSB is too high in one or the other, but even then I'm pretty sure one will lower to match the other [21:56] isnt terhe an option in ubuntu to encode iso files to utf8? [21:56] yme: dpkg -l |grep sendmail [21:56] No, I used envidia - Envyng with 96.43.05 drivers. I've had no problems at all since then [21:57] I have a problem with Hardy/8.04, the automount USB dont work? [21:57] neurobuntu, I know that my pentium 4 was too high of an FSB for my mobo, so the proc just operated at the lower FSB and worked fine [21:57] cpk1: how can i tell the chipset again? and yes, dmesg has a bunch of "eth0: Transmit error" messages [21:57] wols_ ok that printed out a line. rc sendmail-bin 8.14.2-2build1 powerful, efficient, and scalable Mail Trans. Is that all? [21:57] <_slow> Peterpearse if using gnome or kde do a killall gdm or killall kdm respectively after downloading the latest nvidia driver, sudo (the installer) /u to uninstall the old driver and sudo (the installer) to install the new one.

[22:19] <_slow> while i understand where wols_ is coming from, where time and time again you people ask questions that are either extremely vague or asking permission to ask a question, it should be noted that wols_ is also a dingus and dinguses aren't very polite. [22:20] wols_ It is officially supported.. But not something I would ever use or recommend [22:20] Bodsda: then if those are all the changes you want to make press w to write the changes to the table and exit [22:20] yme: ok, what do you know about mail servers? [22:20] wols_ to someone that I cared about anyhow [22:20] yme: maybe take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [22:20] Jack_Sparrow: lol that's a nice qualifier [22:21] cpk1: cool, it now has a boot flag,.,.il reboot and let you know what happened,.,.cheers dude! [22:21] Jack_Sparrow: why? it doesn't install ubuntu on a free partition? only that stupid big file on ntfs? [22:21] Jack_Sparrow: s/someone that I cared about/someone who has my mobile number/ [22:21] wols_ I dont care to discuss it... Read the faq carefully... [22:22] wols_: It's not a good permanent solution for several reasons. One if you lose power using Wubi you're more prone to stuff blowing up. But basically rtm. Wubi isn't a good permanent solution [22:22] Anyone got gdesklets running on 64bit hardy ?? There is no working solution on ubuntuforums === gary_ is now known as Guest42156 [22:22] hello guys [22:22] mad_max02: I gave upo trying and switched to screenlets [22:22] hello all! does 8.04 have an issue with php-db ? [22:22] hello men [22:22] Question: Is there program that will help boost your ram using a sd card [22:22] does anybody in here use openbox? I'm looking for hints on how to get the virtual desktops into a 3x3 square instead of a 1x9 line [22:22] ASULutzy: I was under the impression you could use it for installing ubuntu onto its own partition as usual. i know all the downsides of installing it into a big ntfs file [22:23] mystery_: you can just put in the sd card, mount it and use it as a swap, just make sure you set the swap file priority properly [22:23] mystery_: no === local is now known as local_cal [22:23] DarkAudit, are screenlets any good ?? [22:23] DarkAudit, do you have any link ?? [22:23] mystery_, i think the kernel would have to do that, not a program..which means, if its possible at all, you'll need to recompile the kernle [22:24] *kernel [22:24] mystery_: it would be something the kernel has to do and it's unlikely that will ever happen. except using the sdcard as swap which isn't so smart either (slow, limited amount of writes) [22:24] Failed opening './includes/templates/navstart.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') <-- that's the issue i'm getting on a plain amd64 ubuntu install with a lamp stack installed. i think there is an issue re: pear, php, and ubuntu [22:24] i've only seen bits of the discussion regarding wubi and to me it sounds like some kind of simple virtual machine? Personally I use VMware for all those testings, other OS:es etc and it works like a charm ;) [22:24] mad_max02: screenlets.org is their home, with may more at gnome-look.org [22:24] DarkAudit, I'll check that right now. Thanks [22:24] /usr/share/pear just doesn't exist. however /usr/share/php/pear does exist [22:24] Anyone here have a link for installing a AMP server? [22:24] s/may/many [22:24] vraa: check navstart.php where this file is and what package brings it [22:24] ok i just installed linux and i want to make sure that i maintain its speed and keep it clean [22:24] DarkAudit, anything special in making them work in 64bit ? [22:25] wols_: for debootstrap i am trying to use a mounted iso as the mirror, is that what you meant? [22:25] mystery_: again, this is not windows [22:25] Kremlin[NA]: it's very easy, go to synaptic -> edit -> mark by task, and select LAMP [22:25] wols_: navstart.php is something i've written [22:25] vraa, you could create a symlink to /usr/share/php/pear [22:25] neverwas: debootstrap install a ubuntu from any other linux. that's all [22:25] anirudh0: can you explain further? i am interested :0 [22:25] :) [22:25] great [22:25] vraa: I dont want the mail part.. just a regular apache2, php 5 and mysql server [22:26] mad_max02: Only thing I did was set them to both sticky and widget so they are on all desptops. Otherwise I just installed the packages. [22:26] wols_: You can take a wubi install and move it to a dedicated ext3 partition, yes, but that sort of defeats the purpose of using wubi in the first place? I guess maybe it saves a cd if you're tricky [22:26] but just want to optimize the systme [22:26] Kremlin[NA]: mail comes by default with linux. always [22:26] how do I fix this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; The following packages have been kept back: ffmpeg libavdevice52 [22:26] Kremlin[NA]: right, it won't install the mail part i believe. if you know what packages you want, you can do them yourself "apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql5" [22:26] anyone know a windows media player plugin for firefox on linux????/ [22:26] joseph: apt-get mozilla-mplayer [22:26] i cant watch porn without it :( [22:26] mad_max02: and the mail check screenlet is known not to work :p [22:26] ASULutzy: I'm coming from "goodbye-microsoft.com" which is something similar. but it installs debian to its own partition as usual [22:26] Kremlin[NA]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP also has some useful instructions [22:26] didn't know wubi can't do this [22:26] wols_: alright, I have ubuntu 64 bit version, i have an iso of the 32 bit verison that I want install instead of 64 bit, i mounted the iso in /mnt/installCD i created a directory /var/install and I want to debootstrap the iso to the /var/install [22:26] CarlFK: try sudo aptitude full-upgrade ?

I just installed fail2ban (I use public/private keys for my ssh so I'm not too concerned, just want to stop people from banging on my stuff) Can someone pm me and I'll give them my ip and they can just try to login to my ssh like 6 times [22:27] btw, anirudh0, do you think there is an issue regarding 64bit ubuntu + pear db ? [22:27] Starnestommy: Ok thanks [22:27] !tell Kremlin[NA] about lamp [22:27] Kremlin[NA]: the wiki link Starnestommy posted is very good [22:27] !lamp | Kremlin[NA] [22:27] Kremlin[NA]: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [22:28] vraa, not sure..never used 64 bit [22:28] wrong! LAMPS is Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System :p :) [22:28] DarkAudit: LAMPS = LAMP [22:29] vraa: certainly not a path problem as in your case. [22:29] so it's not a symlink issue? [22:29] is there an ubuntu security channel? [22:30] i recently heard that some hackers spared ubuntu boxes to go after OS X and Windows.... [22:30] sudobash They may just be protecting their egos... [22:30] wols_: i dont think it's a permissions issue, my entire directory is owned by www-data, and permissions are 755 [22:30] : Failure trying to run: chroot /var/install mount -t proc proc /proc [22:31] maybe they just dont want to release a root exploit for the most used linux distro of all time... [22:31] vraa: I didn't say it was a permissions issue. [22:31] wols_: oh lol oops [22:31] !ot | sudobash [22:31] sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:31] sudobash: we basically had one a few days ago. remember the ssl thing? [22:31] sudobash, err..what if there is;nt oone..atleast an obvious one === kalapite is now known as N_28 [22:31] theres a better one... [22:31] cpk1: no joy im afraid, error 15 still ;-( [22:32] i asked for an ubuntu security channel [22:32] !security [22:32] If you feel the need to adopt security measures for your system, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [22:32] i run OpenBSD router....

[22:33] Bodsda: where do you install grub to? [22:33] here's a funny one, when I plug my Novation Xiosynth into the USB port, my PC plays the "logged into Ubuntu" sound [22:33] wols_: i never specified it so its default location is /dev/sdb1 [22:34] Bodsda: unlikely. your BIOS boots from sda only [22:34] gordonjcp: cool [22:34] lol, off topic I know, but it's funny. So I wanted someone to test that I had set up fail2ban properly on my home machine and none of my friends were available so I turned to a coworker sitting next to me (we're programmers) and asked him to hammer the box real quick... I wasn't thinking and I definitely just DoS'd myself... Can't reconnect for 10 minutes :( [22:34] Bodsda: no, not cool [22:34] wols_: ok,then it will be sda1 [22:34] Tricky NAT :'( [22:34] gordonjcp: oh, sorry ;~) [22:35] Bodsda: not when a couple of 140W RMS nearfield monitors are involved [22:35] anirudh0: what, uh, is the use to make links between files? [22:35] Bodsda: it will NOT be sda1. your bios doesn't know or care about partitions. and how do you KNOW you installed it to sda? [22:35] Bodsda: pastebin your grub.conf [22:35] gordonjcp: i guess not ;~) interesting problem though [22:35] Bodsda: yeah [22:35] cpk1: /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:35] cpk1: SORRY, I WAS WALKING MY DOG, I AM CONNECTED TO A ROUTER AND I AM NOT THE ONLY COMPUTER ON THE NETWORK [22:35] cpk1: grub.conf does not exist [22:35] Bodsda: somewhat annoying, because I thought I had all the system sounds turned off [22:36] cpk1: and sorry for caps lock [22:36] wols_: whatever, i use tab complete and dont bother memorizing the exact file name, by the time i got to /boot/grub I would have known [22:37] cpk1: you would, Bodsda wouldn't and he won't find it [22:37] wols_: i no what he meant,.,. im not new to this [22:37] cpk1: note: menu.lst doesn't matter when grub caN't even find stage1.5 or stage2. menu.lst comes AFTER those sre loaded [22:38] cpk1: theres a strange problem,.,. my disks keep changing order although i havent touched them [22:38] how to reset the settings of opera ?

[22:40] i just generated a brand new rsa key, and i ran `ssh-vulnkey` and for some of the keys it says 'not blacklisted' but for the new one it says 'unknown (no blacklist information)' [22:40] Jack_Sparrow: using the powers of telepathy i delve into your brain to seek answers,.,. i quickly run away due to the mass of information -- ;~) [22:40] anirudh1: gnome [22:41] Bodsda Are you mixing ide and sata? [22:41] Jack_Sparrow: indeed,.,. i thought i was the one with the telepathy [22:41] wols_, yes there is now should i delete the folder? [22:41] Bodsda My mind is a dark and scary place..

[22:43] Bodsda Is your fstab set to use uudi, or did you change some to /dev/sda1 etc [22:43] cpk1: isnt this the solution for error 21,.,. il try anyway ;~) [22:44] Jack_Sparrow: everything is default [22:44] hello?

[23:22] Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)(aka.piece of crap) [23:22] Keddy, you can lookup any package version with apt or thru synaptic... [23:22] Keddy: You can get both 3.x and 4.x from apt [23:22] Dante124: right-click, Properties ;-) [23:22] earthling i think i got it, thanks [23:22] i need to install a software which has 3 version..it says xxxx-gcc33, xxxx-gcc34 and xxxx-gcc41 [23:22] Hilikus : how? [23:22] NewfieLinux, gotta remember that linux isnt for idiots, it doesnt cater to knot having to do anything, id dulaboot, in the beginning youl spend more time in windows, but as you grow frustrated at being treated like a child youl spend more time in linux [23:23] NewfieLinux u said it yourself. Crap [23:23] Keddy, 4.2.3 [23:23] Keddy : type "gcc -v" it tells the version number [23:23] i was missing the 5 and 6th param in fstab, the 6th is about that [23:23] and then in the end you wont go back to windows for anything other than games [23:23] with a k [23:23] Hilikus : good [23:23] manlymatt83, sorry, i spell craply [23:23] Dante124: it's set to read only, right click it>Properties>permissions [23:23] Ahh but you see there dante.I could run 3d games just fine on windows.I can but barely run most 3d games on linux [23:23] eric: What does "ls /dev/sd*" give you? [23:23] in login window preferences>users there is a setting 'use users from /etc/passwd (not for NIS)', what is NIS? [23:23] thanks...I was doing it wrong before. Take care [23:23] anybody know about the firefox issue? [23:24] when i try to go to web pages, i get this tiny little box that is a blank firefox page that prevents me from broswing [23:24] noteventime, one moment [23:24] and the "good" game neverwinter nights I cannot get working because the diamond edition guide wont work. [23:24] anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to setup ubuntu as an inline packet sniffer? [23:24] NewfieLinux...what games for instance? And if using wine do you have it configured properly? [23:24] NewfieLinux: My intel card works ok, shader support is kinda bad though [23:25] NewfieLinux have you googled your problem to see if someone else with your card has gotten it to work? [23:25] i need step by step help for .bz2 file installation [23:25] Im not using wine.And I could run guildwars,flyff, and various others [23:25] on windows. [23:25] NewfieLinux, i wouldnt bother with games inside linux, dualboot, play them in windows and then when your done switch back [23:25] moDumass: I play lots of games in Linux [23:25] RULR: If the extension is .tar.bz2 use: tar -xvjf name.tar.bz2 [23:26] could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? [23:26] henii: tar.bz2 [23:26] moDumass: Well, lots is an overstatement, but wine works fine for me [23:26] or just switch to windows.I like linux but its given me nothing but trouble [23:26] will somebody please help me??? [23:26] genii: tar.bz2 [23:26] if i could just get neverwinter nights working I would be happy..... [23:26] moDumass: if the game is old enough to use software 3d, then you can allways run it feasibly in a vbox [23:26] or you could just run sun virtualbox [23:26] NewfieLinux: How is it not working [23:26] Is there any DJ software for ubuntu? [23:26] has anyone else been affected by the FIreFox 3.0 update earlier today? [23:27] RULR: tar -xvjf name.tar.bz2 [23:27] mike4263: how? [23:27] hi everyone [23:27] noteventime, thats cool, i do to, but if most games dont run as smoothly in windows and if hes having issues with anything, making him use wine its just frustrating for the first few months [23:27] how? [23:27] RULR : 1. "tar -xvjf file.bz2" 2. "cd ./file" 3."make" 4."make install" [23:27] will someone pleez help me [23:27] other way round [23:27] RULR: From there probably other steps depending on what the hell it is of course [23:27] mike4263: Yeah, what do you mean by "affected"? [23:27] it automatically updated the package, now it complains about search engine plugins on boot [23:27] Well I followed the guide for it but when I launch it a small black screen pops up and closes [23:27] doesn't launch [23:27] addimonk: With what? [23:27] earthling: You're assuming it's some source code :) [23:28] in login window preferences>users there is a setting 'use users from /etc/passwd (not for NIS)', FOR THE THIRD TIME SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL MEwhat is NIS? [23:28] noteventime:I just tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy but when I rebooted the computer it brings me to this black screen that says BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shel (ash) [23:28] genii : give him what he wants. [23:28] i have a question, when i goto network and try to mount a windows network drive, i can never get one mounted even with the right information. [23:28] NIS is a network login thing [23:28] if there something ineed to install for it to work ? [23:28] if you don't know what it is, you don't need it [23:28] Can I use debian unstable repositories with ubuntu 8.04? [23:28] the drive in fact that i want to mount is a samba drive on another linux system. [23:28] Scaevolus: No. [23:28] salvw [23:28] i am running hardy heron === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert [23:28] RULR: After it decompresses go into the directory it likely made and look for some file like README and of course read it [23:29] soooo nvidia-settings doesn't detect your monitor settings and your stuck in a low resolution - what do you do? [23:29] Scaevolus, probably not, they're several months out of sync already. [23:29] ChunkyKs: i'm not asking if i need it [23:29] i'm asking what it is [23:29] addimonk: I only know busybox starts when the standard system won't :/ [23:29] I put this in terminal...(sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter) how do i stop it from trying to start on boot? [23:29] could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? [23:29] arrrghhh: setup your monitor driver [23:29] I like getting non-security updates more than every six months :( [23:29] noteventime:is there any way to fix this [23:29] Scaevolus, it's usually on a package by package basis, but if you do use debian packages, don't expect useful support here (if it matters :) [23:29] ma ciaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [23:29] it's a way of doing effectively the same thing as /etc/passwd, but across the network [23:29] You could also use google [23:29] ndf, uh... ok? that's a little vague... [23:30] nickrud: of course :) well, if they're half-compatible, that's good enough [23:30] ndf, it's detecting my laptop screen beautifully, but has nearly no options for my external monitor. [23:30] Scaevolus, I tired of the 2 - 5 hours every week massaging the bleeding cuts from unstable, that's why I use the stable unstable ;) [23:30] * ChunkyKs searches google. Yep, searching for NIS, the top link describes what it is [23:30] addimonk: Well, there is probably some way to fix it. But getting busybox is only a symptom, it doesn't say too much about the problem === dmb is now known as Guest67196 [23:30] I've got to go [23:31] could anyone tell me if there is a manual for ubuntu studio audio? [23:31] arrrghhh: there's a driver stup for monitors, if your monitor is in that list (which it most likely is), then you can access more resolutions and refresh rates [23:31] nickrud: I don't really care about unstable glibc or whatever, just the updated apps (gimp...) [23:31] *setup [23:31] in the control centre [23:31] can anyone help me with some configuration problems of lirc [23:31] I just tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy but when I rebooted the computer it brings me to this black screen that says BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shel (ash) HELP ME PLEEZ!!! [23:31] ? [23:31] could someone try to connect to freedb via easytag, eac or xcfa and say me if it's working fine please ? [23:31] hi, I have an nvidia 8600GT card, whenever I use nvidia driver, I cannot get my monitor resolution right, it gets locked in a 600*800 mode, any ideas? (I tried modifying xorg.conf manually but it didn't work) === Guest67196 is now known as idolguy [23:31] chuy_max-- try envy [23:31] ndf, in nvidia-settings panel [23:32] then install nvidia settings [23:32] Hmm [23:32] !envy [23:32] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support.

[23:36] that's the first and likely last time I'll ever try it though [23:36] or, in Ubuntu 8.04, it's sftp:// [23:36] why does my wine window thats emulating the .exe disappear when i switch work stations? [23:36] chuy_max: Many people experience strange problems when running envy which are difficult to diagnose and repair.

[23:37] connor: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:37] !offtopic [23:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:37] can anyone help me on how on shell I can create a script that upon execution connects to a ssh server, gets to a certain directory, and uploads a file? [23:37] genii, arrrghhh ok, thanks, I will try nvidia-settings first instead [23:37] arrrghhh: no problem :) [23:37] ah time to diagnose monitor problems later [23:38] how do I install a piece of software when I have its .bin [23:38] wasup: ./whatever.bin [23:38] Where can I et a listing of channels?

[23:38] stemount^, I just type that? [23:38] wasup: give yourself execute permission and just double click and open in terminal [23:38] wasup: yeah you just replace "whatever" with your bin file name [23:38] wasup: then it should work :) [23:38] stemount^, in terminal [23:38] so, what is your bin file called? [23:39] idolguy: the official ubuntu channels are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [23:39] brainlog.bin [23:39] uwe: you could compile it from source?

[23:39] idolguy: for other channels, use /list or /msg alis list *search-term* [23:39] unavailable: then it would be ./brainlog.bin [23:39] i installed jdk1.6 from the sun web site . now i want to uninstall it. how do i go about that? [23:39] genii, Xcell, wow, I just installed nvidia-settings, and it worked [23:39] stemount^, what i compiled from source ?

[23:41] i know its worked at 1280x1024 on version 7 but now i'm using 8 [23:41] wasup: then it will be ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin [23:41] wasup: you must be in the directory that it has it in [23:41] Xcell: what do you mean? [23:41] why does my wine window thats emulating the .exe disappear when i switch work stations?

[23:43] stemount^, that's not what I mean [23:43] command not found [23:43] stemount^, I know where the bin file is... but when I opened it in terminal it is asking me where to install it [23:43] can someone do a ls -l /dev/scd0 and tell me what it says (if your cdrom is located at scd0 that is) [23:43] I believe the default is /tmp but that can be changed in firefox [23:44] stemount^, where are programs usually installed [23:44] how can i hook up an old pc (compaq from 1999) to my laptop so i can read off of the hdd using ubuntu?

[23:44] uwe: if you go to Preferences -> Administration -> Software Sources [23:45] uwe: then go to third party - do you see any rogue sources? [23:45] ChunkyKs: can you help me with: http://pastebin.com/m4d2c656a [23:45] is wine included with Hery Hardon or do I have to download it [23:45] con-man: you just type sudo apt-get install wine in terminal [23:45] con-man: you have to download it...

[23:45] and it's Hardy Heron ;) [23:46] con-man: plus if you are a wine user, do try Wine Doors and Play on Linux, you will probably like them as well [23:46] ssh remotehost "mkdir /home/madmin/htdocs/ProjectBackups/$Backup_Dest_Dir/$Backup_Date" [23:46] ok [23:46] scp $Backup_Dest_Dir/$Backup_Date/Project-Backup.tar.gz remotehost:/home/madmin/htdocs/ProjectBackups/$Backup_Dest_Dir/$Backup_Date [23:46] holy SHIT, google earth looks and functions like shit on ubuntu [23:47] !language | wasup [23:47] wasup: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[23:47] stemount^, nop, all looks normal [23:47] stemount^, -_- [23:47] uwe: very weird [23:47] error404notfound: use localhost [23:47] uwe: is it saying unauthorised packages? because thats *not* an issue most of the time [23:47] uwe: if you know what the package i [23:47] s [23:47] wasup: google earth linux isn't very good... as well as picasa... for some reason they suck... [23:47] error404notfound: you're also going to need to set up public key auth if you want this to happen without it asking for you a password [23:48] error404notfound, do you think it would run better off wine [23:48] error404notfound: it's because they are used with WINE [23:48] error404notfound, windows version on wine [23:48] wasup: it *is* based on wine [23:48] wasup: may be, never tried it with wine... [23:48] error404notfound: I hate to be blunt about this, but if you're not familiar with simple ssh and scp commands, you may wanna read up a bit before going for the public key thing [23:48] stemount^: ahan... [23:48] wine is never efficient [23:48] lolol [23:48] ChunkyKs: okay... [23:49] oh [23:49] also [23:49] ew, your dates [23:49] date +%b%d%Y%H%M%S [23:49] date +%F exists for a fabulous reason [23:49] ok ... stemount^ , i changed the repos from il to us ... now i dont get the error about clamav cant be autheticated [23:49] You can't sort your backups when they're named like that [23:49] how to get an ipod working on linux? [23:49] uwe: excellent. [23:50] strange ... though ... :S [23:50] earthling: gtk-pod [23:50] earthling: try Rhythmbox [23:51] earthling: rockbox [23:51] stemount^ do they support 6th gen ipods? [23:51] earthling, you just plug it, you can sync it with gtkpod [23:51] wow, kubuntu with kde 4.1 beta 1 really isn't bad [23:51] chuy_max, genii : do they support 6th gen? [23:51] earthling: I believe so [23:52] earthling: I don't see why not [23:52] stemount^ k [23:52] hi, what's the package that provides "Applications > System > Hardware Drivers" ? [23:52] earthling: rockbox is actually a linux distribution which goes on your ipod. You can still dual-boot it to the original apple firmware if you like as well [23:52] AlexCONRAD: do you mean restricted? [23:52] genii : k thanks [23:52] i don't know, the propietarty drivers thing [23:52] what file system should i use for ubuntu if i want Windows Xp to be able to see it and read and wrtie data to it [23:52] where I can setup my nvidia according to the ubuntu docs [23:53] AlexCONRAD-- compiz? [23:53] Ice_Max: You want to install Ubuntu to an ext3 drive without a doubt. If you're talking about having another partition that you want both Windows and Linux to be able to write to, I'd use NTFS [23:53] Ice_Max: ext2 and then use the ext file driver from fs-driver.org in windows [23:54] Ice_Max: As you can see there are differing opinions on the subject [23:54] my firefox has stopped working, when i enter a url in the address bar and press enter nothing happens, if i press the go button nothing happens, this just started today [23:54] AlexCONRAD: It's under System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager [23:54] windows support for reading linux filesystems is limited [23:54] AlexCONRAD: don't you hae that? [23:54] ext3 is ext2 with journalling [23:54] Ice_Max: Alternatively, you could do what genii said, but for purposes of being able to share the partition/folders, I prefer NTFS, that way the people I share with aren't forced to download stuff to get your files. Objectively ext3 is a better file system I agree with genii, it's just Windows doesn't have native ext3 support, which is a pain in the butt for me [23:55] asulutzy: i want windows to be able to see the partition ubuntu is on and read and write data to it (mostly music files) [23:55] stemount^: well, I don't have the same name, but I guess that's it [23:55] you should do [23:55] stemount^: someone pointed me to gnome-app-install ? [23:55] anyone know how to apply the Openarena patch taking it from the repo's 7.6 version to 7.7? [23:55] ASULutzy: At least you're not recommending vfat which is wrong on so many levels ;) [23:55] Ice_Max: Then you'll need to do what genii said, you'll want to install Ubuntu to ext3 and install the ext driver in windows [23:55] AlexCONRAD: what nVidia card do you have? [23:55] ok [23:55] an old PCI geforce 2 MX 400 [23:56] Ice_Max, or use samba [23:56] whats the difference between ext3 and 2? [23:56] Ice_Max : http://www.fs-driver.org/ [23:56] Ice_Max: Someone already answered that. Basically ext3 is ext2 + journaling [23:56] Ice_Max, forget ext2. use ext3. [23:56] ChunkyKs: how do I specify a certain user with those command of ssh and scp? I tried -l 'username' without quotes and it didn't work [23:57] hola [23:57] use user@host [23:57] Ice_Max : ext3 is default filesystem format in ubuntu [23:57] alguien habla español?
