[00:00] _empemp_: ok good [00:00] K^Holtz I dont know how you added free space before swap as that is not something I suggested [00:00] <_empemp_> legend2440: everything up and running and i've learned a lot, thx :) [00:00] easycam2 [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: but this message was for partion #7 [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: this is what im going by: "create 20 gig ntfs as sda1, create extended over the rest, create 10 ext3 for / ie root as logical in extended create 20 gig as /home as logical in extended create ext3 for general use leaving a 2 gig or so swap partition" [00:00] K^Holtz We can always assign a mount point later.. it isnt hard [00:00] nickrud: you are as: Nick Ellery? [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: ok, well i will set it up as ext3 w/o a mount point, and fix any issues later [00:01] b [00:01] there are two NIC interfaces on my box, how to ping from eth1 instead of eth0 ? [00:01] K^Holtz sda5 is first ext3, right [00:01] K^Holtz sda6 is second ext3, right [00:02] yea, sda5 is /, sda6 is /home [00:02] K^Holtz sda7 is third general data with no assigned mount point on ext3, right [00:02] bluecake: ping -I (per manpage) should work [00:02] Jack_Sparrow: yea, thats what i had it as [00:02] K^Holtz sda8 is a swap [00:02] Jack_Sparrow: yes, 2 gigs [00:02] bluecake: both connected? [00:03] yes, both connected [00:03] interfaces belong to two different subnets [00:03] K^Holtz we dont care about the future ntfs as long as it is allocated and has some type of format same for sda7 [00:03] bluecake: destination is outside your local subnets then? [00:03] how do i make ubuntu start in command line, not kde4? [00:03] bobstro, yes [00:04] Is it possible to let all users on my local system share an F-Spot database? [00:04] trying to ping the same place from two diff subnets, bobstro [00:04] bluecake: i think ping -I is what you want then. [00:04] bobstro, yes, thx, man ping says so too, [00:04] Really quickly. what is the command to run something [00:04] bluecake: try system -admin - ntwork tools choose inteface and ping away [00:04] DIL, ok [00:04] /whois dendrobates [00:05] How do I launch an application on a specific desktop? [00:05] how do i make ubuntu start in command line, not kde4? [00:05] DIL, i don't have system -admin - ntwork tools [00:05] guys please, im in a dir and there is a file i need to run [00:05] how do i run it [00:05] has anybody integrated FreeIPA into Ubuntu? [00:05] bluecake: ping is everywhere. :) [00:05] !ping [00:05] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [00:06] bluecake: whats at the top of your desktop? [00:06] whatever01: You can start the recovery mode from the boot prompt. [00:06] Smartpart: What kind of file? [00:06] .run [00:06] Smartpart: From where? [00:06] when i choose run in terminal it says i need to logged in as root [00:06] how do I update just one package through apt-get? [00:06] desktop [00:06] recovery mode? i just want ubuntu to start like the server version, from command prompt [00:07] whatever01: That's not what you asked for. [00:07] Smartpart: where did you get this .run file and why (i'm curious) [00:07] DIL, don't know, it's on remote box [00:07] ati graphics driver [00:07] DIL, ssh-ing right now [00:07] shadowvice1: apt-get install {foo} [00:07] huh? [00:07] bluecake: ahh [00:07] well how do i do it? [00:07] !ati | Smartpart [00:07] shadowvice1: That will update it. [00:07] Smartpart: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:07] owh ... cool thanks :D [00:07] Anyone playing WMV in mplayer 64bit ???? [00:08] i still want the option of starting the graphical interface later [00:08] whatever01: I'm still trying to grasp what you're needing. [00:08] is there not a way i can just run the program? [00:08] DIL, but what bobstro suggested was good . ping -I [00:08] Smartpart what are you trying to run or install? [00:08] Smartpart: No [00:08] bluecake: not to state the obvious, but the destination need a return path for both subnets. [00:08] hello [00:08] it works up until the part where it says i have to be logged in as root [00:08] * JoaoVr Baby, I back [00:08] FLOOD [00:08] FLOOD [00:08] FLOOD [00:08] FLOOD [00:08] FLOOD [00:08] !sudo [00:08] 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) [00:08] bluecake: better that what i have to offer [00:08] Jack_Sparrow an ati driver installer [00:08] * JoaoVr Baby, I back [00:08] How come when you do a useradd in ubuntu it doesn't create a home directory? [00:08] * JoaoVr Baby, I m back [00:08] i installed the server edition but there were a load of problems. so i install the desktop edition because everything works out of the box, but i want it to be like the server edition [00:08] * JoaoVr grrr [00:09] bobstro, yes [00:09] Smartpart: you should not, ubuntu provides an ati driver it its repository [00:09] how do i boot into ubuntu without graphical interface [00:09] thank you [00:09] whatever01: You can just remove GDM or KDM. [00:09] umm whats a repository lol [00:09] whatever01, edit your innitab file to boot to runlevel 3 instead of 5 [00:09] i still want to have teh option to boot into those graphical systems [00:09] butnot by default [00:09] Smartpart: it means all packages are built specifically for ubuntu [00:10] adrenaline: adduser does it, useradd doesn't (by default). or maybe the other way around. [00:10] thanks bobstro [00:10] kyncani: thanks for the help, but where do i get this [00:10] Smartpart: It seems you're new to Linux. Things are handled quite a bit diferently from Windows in regards to installing software. [00:10] Darlok_Williams: Thankfully :) [00:10] !ati | Smartpart [00:10]  Smartpart: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:10] owh: Oh, not a complaint by any means :P === mistya|Studia is now known as mistya|StudiaVa [00:11] bobstro, hm... my old laptop has PCMCIA eth1, and new laptop have eth0. i can use cross over cable to ping? or will it do internal ping? [00:11] hey i'm trying to use a guide to speed up ubuntu, and it says to use sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/''yourdrive'' [00:11] bobstro, place both NIC on one laptop [00:11] what do i put in place of ''yourdrive''? [00:11] I've installed win32codecs from mediabuntu but mplayer still complains it can't find avisynth.dll? [00:11] hey there [00:12] bluecake: you want to ping the EXTERNAL interface from "the other one" then? [00:12] Choicefresh: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Is there any particular reason you want to "tune" ubuntu? [00:12] Choicefresh: Be VERY careful following any guides telling you to use "sudo." Unless you know what the command does, it's not recommended that you do it. [00:12] I'm surprised more people are not using a *nix box for home monitoring with videocam, answering machine and PVR. === nith is now known as Nith [00:12] bobstro, yes, after that, i will test and play right cisco switches and router [00:12] Choicefresh: do you know what that tune2fs option does? [00:12] running ubuntu 8.04 server - where would I go to change the display size on the screen; can I choose a smaller font so I get more on the screen? [00:12] Darlok_Williams: i found recommendations for this particular guide on many websites [00:12] andatche: according to apt-file, avisynth.dll is not part of any ubuntu hardy package [00:13] Techiedragon: Ask that question in #ubuntu-server [00:13] Choicefresh: Right... but do you know what the commands do? [00:13] oh sorry [00:13] I realize PPA debs aren't supported but I am wondering why I am getting the following error when I try to install it "Template #1 in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/templates does not contain a 'Template:' line" maybe someone knows how to fix this? [00:13] kyncani i pmed you [00:13] i'm changing grub to the data=writeback system, which supposedly is faster [00:13] kyncani: hmm, I'm sure it used to be :( [00:13] Hmm, what do I do about PM spam? [00:13] Choicefresh: Even following highly recommended guides can screw up your particular system when using "sudo." If your system is running fine, I recommend leaving it alone. [00:13] PCcertified: what software would one use for home monitoring [00:13] Smartpart: i'm automagically ignoring pms, but please say say/ask here [00:13] Techiedragon,system preferences appearance [00:14] Hello! I have two questions: The first is, why won't my keyboard type faster than ~3 keypresses per second in LiveCD (i.e. right now)? I've got plenty of free resources, and this is the first time it's done this... [00:14] Darlok_Williams: ubuntu should be faster than windows xp, but it is being laggy for me [00:14] Luigi: Sounds like a memory issue. [00:14] hi [00:14] Luigi: you might be able to change your mouse prefs [00:15] Choicefresh: "Tuning" Ubuntu rarely gives very noticable speed increases. Perhaps there's something else going on... it should be faster out-of-the-box unless you have some strange hardware that is choking the resources. [00:15] does ubuntu have drivers for PCMICA ethernet card? windows 2008 server can't use this card, cause drver too old [00:15] candive with server - thre is no gui ; it is all command line [00:15] is there a tool that does general diagnoistics/see what's not working? [00:15] bluecake: You need to research which card, what drivers are needed, then we can answer that. [00:15] Ok in Hardware Drivers it says ATI accellerated graphics driver in use, but i still boot in low graphics mode, why is this? [00:15] well, in the comments it said it made it 300% faster. the only hardware i have really is a wireless card [00:15] cause my new machine is much more wonky then my older crappier one [00:16] bluecake: you could try the live cd ? [00:16] anyways, what do i put in place of ''yourdrive''? [00:16] sorry [00:16] Choicefresh: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it wasn't implemented in Ubuntu, that was for a reason. [00:16] Choicefresh: My point is simply that if you lack the knowledge to fill out the /dev/ part of the command, I would certainly recommend learning more about Linux before tinkering with such dangerous topics. [00:16] DIL I was hoping fo some suggestions of a setup that works. I've been playing around with those issues for 2 months now. I was thinking Vgetty with VOCP for voice answering machine, but can't seem to get vgetty set up to work. for video I was thinking motion for webcam security and for the PVR I haven't had an opportunity to look into it much, mythtv seems interesting. [00:16] Darlok_Williams: I have ~350mb of RAM free. [00:16] owh, it's belkin. i fd005200 or somthing, let me check [00:16] Darlok_Williams: what do you mean? [00:16] hey, guys, what's a good off-topic room thats not as dead as #off-topic ? i really feel like saying mind-numbingly stupid and pointless things but I don't want to do that here. [00:17] TonsOfSparks: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:17] :) [00:17] Does anoyone know how to use moto4lin? It doesn't seem to detect my Motorola Razr 3v. What device should I tell it to be? [00:17] thanks @ DarlokWilliams [00:17] i'm using the guide here http://web.archive.org/web/20070622141026/http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed [00:17] TonsOfSparks: you could always talk to ubottu :)) [00:17] kyncani, no [00:17] no ? [00:18] Ok in Hardware Drivers it says ATI accellerated graphics driver in use, but i still boot in low graphics mode, why is this? and i dont see restricted graphics drivers [00:18] Jack_Sparrow, sorry to bug you with that again, but i realized, that the problem with the multimedia button is not the assignment, but they are not captured by X (or whatsoever). in dapper i could see them in xev, but in hardy they seem to be just ignored. can i revert the part, that is responsible for those buttons, back to dapper version? [00:18] wats ubottu @ kyncani [00:18] my card is http://www.belkin.com/support/product/?lid=en&pid=F5D5020&scid=223 BELKIN F5D5020 [00:18] daemon3: I actually wrote a tutorial for that... http://elyon225.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/38/ [00:18] Can USB buses be... clogged? I'm using an external hard disk drive right now. [00:18] TonsOfSparks: he's a bot, he won't mind incredibly stupid and pointless talk :) [00:18] Sorry, people, dog got out and she is not at all friendly towards others.. Had to act fast [00:19] Darlok_Williams: Thanks. I think I have it, but I'll keep that link in mind. [00:19] Hi Everyone. [00:19] unfortunately, only one of my 2 webcams is supported in *nix, and the driver is experimental ad I can't figure out how to install it. My modem works in minicom, but mgetty I think is required for vgetty to function and I can't seem to figure it out. And finally the PVR is not priority for me till I get the others working [00:19] I have a little problem with Xubuntu here.... [00:19] can you tell me what i replace it with? [00:19] Ubuntu didn't work on my laptop, so now I downloaded the Live CD of Xubuntu from my friend's house. [00:19] It's been at this black screen for a good 15 minutes. [00:20] hey what's this buy bra thing , keep popping out on freenode.com / irc [00:20] CPU light is constantly green, meaning it IS working, but should it take this long? [00:20] kynkani: but he want answer with anything equally stupid and pointless and probably entertaining, thanks though [00:20] operator can you please ban it? [00:20] Smartpart: you have rebooted ? [00:20] Skyline969, #xubuntu [00:20] Thank you. [00:20] Same server? [00:20] Speaking of external hard drives, why won't GParted let me do anything to the FS on mine? [00:20] Smartpart: if so, type "glxinfo | head" and make sure the "direct rendering" thing says yes [00:21] Luigi, you cannot alter a partition that is in use, afaik [00:21] in which file do i change the default runlevel in ubuntu? [00:21] @ kyncani its been like that. I just disabled and reenabled to see if it would work [00:21] rebooting now [00:21] Luigi, if that is what you mean by 'yours' [00:21] im not sure if this is a glftpd problem, but i cannot connect at all to my ftp :/ [00:21] Luigi Perhaps a windows format that was locked down by windows for an unclean removal.. is the most common issue [00:21] so, anyone have a diagnosis for "general sluggishness" even at boot up (like, sluggish at bios) [00:22] rdz: should I unmount it? [00:22] can anybody tell me how to load into Ubuntu from the kernel? [00:22] Luigi, definitely [00:22] got problems when trying to compile the pwc-driver.. i think there are some kind of kernel... missmatch on my system or something.. [00:22] I want to logonto root, but it just says "root is not allowed to logon from this screen" [00:22] i have the latest linux-kernel-modules.. etc.. [00:23] TYVM rdz! [00:23] !sudo | Stigern [00:23] Stigern: 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) [00:23] Luigi, you're welcome [00:23] Kyncani, it was on vesa, should it be on fglrx? [00:23] so if I want to move some files? can I start a fileexplorer as root/sudo? [00:23] !fluxbox | rdz [00:24] Gat0rvean: gksudo nautilus, but be careful [00:24] ok well to get webcam support now I'm gonna try with my TV tuner card. At least I KNOW it"s supported [00:24] Gat0rvean: whoops, wrong nick, sorry [00:24] Stigern: The mv command will work. Like sudo mv file.txt /folder/file.txt [00:24] Stigern: gksudo nautilus, but be careful [00:24] Smartpart: if the ati restricted driver is enabled and after a reboot, it's still using a generic (vesa) driver, then you're out of luck because X does not properly recognize your card. [00:24] ok, just need to move 3 files into the Open transport tycoon folder :P [00:25] crap, yes im using vesay on reboot and it booted in low graphics mode [00:25] in which file do i change the default runlevel in ubuntu? [00:25] Stigern: for 3 files its easier doing it from terminal [00:25] Stigern: plus better security wise i think [00:26] if anybody's *just bored* please come to #off-topic [00:26] PLEASE [00:26] and what does out of luck mean lol it wont work? [00:26] External hard filesstm: ext2, ext3, ntfs? [00:26] filesytem* [00:26] Smartpart: yeah, there is this new xorg that's all great because it automagically recognize your hardware (graphic card, screen, ...) and use an optimum configuration, but when it does not, there is no easy way to just change the default behavior ... (and it sucks) [00:26] ah === aa2277 is now known as [tv] [00:27] <[tv]> hi there === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [00:27] <[tv]> first time ever coming in here ha [00:27] <[tv]> But i had a quick question, [00:27] sorry about leaving suddenly, i tried changing visual effects and firefox disintegrated [00:27] well thanks alot for the help kyncani [00:27] <[tv]> i was wondering if anyone here had any experience trying to run netflix streaming video on ubuntu [00:28] <[tv]> im wondering if they have some sort of contract with windows or something [00:28] can i access my library and edit it? [00:28] <[tv]> making it exclusive [00:28] Smartpart: I have a pc at work that would be better off running ubuntu but because it does not recognize the screen, I'm leaving debian etch for now. [00:28] <[tv]> or if its just a support issue... [00:28] so in my xorg.conf can i force it into recognizing somehow? [00:29] so anyways, are you going to tell me what ''yourdrive'' means? [00:29] Smartpart: yep, but it's not so very simple as it used to be. There are solutions on the web. Ubuntuforums.org would be a good place to search [00:30] okay so i noobued it and tried to force it into using another driver, but after login i get a white screen [00:30] lmao [00:30] With the quality of some of the docs out there, once I get my stuff setup I'm going to start a wiki on how to o what I'm doing... the impossible. :-D [00:31] see you folks later... [00:31] Smartpart: if you get a white screen, you can just remove the xorg.conf file (or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think) [00:31] uhh how do i do that lol [00:31] Darlok_Williams: Hm. Doesn't seem to work for Razr v3. [00:32] It says I'm not connected. [00:32] Smartpart: ctrl-alt-f1 to go to a console login screen [00:32] ffs, bbl, restarting [00:33] Excuse me, I have a question. [00:33] ok logged in so now sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [00:33] Rimdar_Klall, just ask [00:33] How do I change the language of Ubuntu? I downloaded the Swahili language pack and can't figure out how to actually witch them. [00:33] hi guys [00:34] Smartpart: yep, that should rebuild the xorg.conf file so when you reboot, you have a graphical station again [00:34] Darlok_Williams: Oh, I have a v3m. It won't work for a v3m, huh? === Fatal_Error____ is now known as unavailable [00:35] I have a laptop with 256mb of ram, amd sempron 1.8ghz, I installed the new ubuntu 8.0.4 but gnome runs to slow, (I can't use xfce or xubuntu) should I use the other LTS 6.6 instead?

[00:37] and I don't know why ubuntu 8.0.4 runs my HD like a sda device, it is a IDE device [00:38] it could be slow for the speed of the HD if it is using the wrong driver [00:38] So... does noone know how to switch languages? [00:38] can I resize a partition that's being used by Windows into one of my linux partitions? [00:39] Aoshi_01: there's been a change in the kernel and now ide, sata and scsi disk are all named sd*. The kernel is also always supposed to use dma when it's working. [00:39] what is the command to restart ubuntu? [00:39] Smartpart: in console, ctrl+alt+suppr [00:39] Smartpart: what do you mean resstart it? [00:39] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, you'd have to ask mark [00:39] !clones [00:39] Factoid clones not found [00:40] like i screwed my graphics [00:40] i rebuild my xorg [00:40] now [00:40] i need to restart [00:40] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, then just restart your computer using Strg+Alt+Sysrq B [00:40] Smartpart: ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+suppr [00:40] kyncani please check the output of my hdparm -v /dev/sda http://rafb.net/p/zDIfh743.html [00:40] sysrq what is that lol [00:40] suppr what is that lol [00:40] kyncani: I don't se anything about DMA :S [00:40] Hi. Ubuntu 8.04. When I set up remote desktop.. it all looks fine(Preferences->Remote Desktop) - but when i log in with what it tells me to from my widnows computer - vncviewer says "failed to connect to server" - it's all LOCAL, no firewalls.. any idea? [00:40] <_eMaX_> lol what is that lol [00:40] Smartpart: it's the WIn key [00:40] it say failed kyncani [00:41] #ubuntu-devel [00:41] ok that no worky [00:41] kyncani: so Im running at low speed because I don't have dma in the hard disk? how can I fix this? [00:41] Aoshi_01: no, hdparm is not supposed to tweak dma settings any more i think. The kernel is supposed to always use dma when it's working and you cannot change that any more. [00:41] Does anyone know how to change the language of Ubuntu? [00:41] <_eMaX_> sdparm [00:42] what is suppr? [00:42] kyncani: so Im going to run slow just because I can't turn on or off the dma of my hd? [00:42] Smartpart: super [00:42] Aoshi_01: that said, I have seen a regression between 7.04 and 8.04 on some disks at work [00:42] wastedfluid do you go thur a router? [00:42] Smartpart: The key with the little windows flag on it [00:43] ya thats not working for restart, ctrl+alt+super [00:43] kyncani: what do you think about ussing ubuntu 6.6? it should run faster than 8.0.4 [00:43] oh then it must be sda5 [00:43] I found a page reguarding bitpim. Does bitpim work for Razr's? [00:43] let me try that [00:43] <_eMaX_> Smartpart Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? [00:43] Can anyone even read me? [00:43] tada!!!

I use VLC exclusivley, and cant find a way to turn totem off.. :( [00:43] screw it ill just turn the beast off and on : [00:43] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, take out the battery *:) [00:44] Aoshi_01: I have not investigated the matter further whether you can or not turn dma on/off with these new kernels. [00:44] But does anyone know how to change the language of Ubuntu? I've looked everywhere! [00:44] gg comp [00:44] <_eMaX_> Rimdar_Klall, use the language switcher hotkey [00:44] Aoshi_01: 6.06 is bound to run out of support security wise so you will have to upgrade at some point ...

[00:46] <_eMaX_> meheren, /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile ~/.bashrc ~/.profile [00:46] <_eMaX_> etc [00:46] what i supposed to delete something lol [00:46] What would be best to move onto the second disk? [00:46] ok thanks [00:46] meheren: Then you shouldnt be asking in #ubuntu [00:46] <_eMaX_> Rimdar_Klall, don#t remember exactly, one of Strg+Alt+Shift+Backspace or without Shift [00:46] hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) [00:46] meheren: Try ##mac [00:46] strg? [00:46] im already there :p [00:46] <_eMaX_> sorry Ctrl [00:46] animaCCo: Its not very Ubuntu related... try #ubuntu-offtopic [00:46] kyncani: The life cycles of versions that are not LTS are shorter than the rest of the ubuntu 6.6 life [00:46] oka [00:46] there offaly slow on answering questions lol... [00:46] sorry [00:47] and i got a solution here, thanks [00:47] kyncani: ubuntu 6.6 already have 1 year more of support [00:47] meheren: Regardless, its offtopic for here. [00:47] hi all. some special keys on my laptop, that worked on dapper, do not work anymore in hardy. how can i fix that? [00:47] I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi, where can I access my windows files from? [00:47] Aoshi_01: yep, your best bet would be to solve your hardy problem and upgrade to hardy (or maybe switch to debian lenny) [00:48] * Rimdar_Klall does not want to push random buttons. [00:48] Where can I find this hotkey? [00:48] Pici, not really the environment variable is stored in the same place on both systems [00:48] ok i blowed it up [00:48] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, blew [00:48] meheren: Take a look at the topic. This is the Ubuntu Support Channel, not the MAC support channel. [00:49] kyncani: how can I solve my hard disk problem? [00:49] hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) last call [00:49] so people aren't allowed to ask general unix questions? [00:49] emax i was jk [00:49] hi [00:50] Pici, not trying to be rude or anything, just i think im right lol :p [00:50] I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi, where can I access my windows (C drive) files from? [00:50] kyncani, was i suppose to delete smt or just run that sudo cmd? [00:50] meheren: not really this for ubuntu only, your question would have been better suited for #linux or ##mac [00:50] kyncani: why its better fix hardy or changing to lenny than the 6.6 release? [00:50] ok [00:50] Aoshi_01: well, i don't know, each time i think the dma was not handled correcly (and it may have been something else), an older 7.04 release was working and was good enough for what i was doing, so i have not investigated the matter further [00:51] hey ppl, looking for some help with direct rendering ATI x1300 AGP and hardy [00:51] I was think of mounting the new drive in /mnt/storage or similar and symlinking /var /etc /home and /tmp to it, plus moving swap there... does that sound reasonable? [00:51] alright, i can see that #linux would have been better... [00:51] ok kyncani tnks [00:51] hello?can I send message on the sceen? [00:51] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, whats the prob [00:51] Aoshi_01: because 6.06 won't have security patches at some point so you will have to upgrade before that [00:51] i have a problem updating, when i try to update the kernels and kernel headers and lose my connection my dialup driver is removed, is there some way to download these manualy? last time i just had to reinstall, couldn't figure how to get the dialup modem drivers to recompile [00:51] Man, bitpim doesn't seem to have my Razr V3M phone listed. [00:52] <_eMaX_> Chikubu, they are modules perhaps? [00:52] kyncani: so the canonical support for LTS versions its not totaly true? it gives a false sense of secure ? [00:52] If nothing else ill just reinstall and reformant lol its brand new on there [00:52] eMaX : when i run glxinfo | grep rendering no matter what i have done so far it always says no [00:53] <_eMaX_> see. do you yet have compiz running? [00:53] yeah [00:53] hi, this isnt spam. i m from Argentina and i want test a chat website in PHP. if u wana help me , send me a Priv mensage. tnks!!! ;) [00:53] Smartpart: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is supposed to rebuild a default xorg.conf otoh, if you delete xorg.conf, xorg should run with sensible defaults, so both options should have more or less the same result. [00:53] animaCCo: yes it is spam please stop or you can receive a ban [00:54] matt_: The windows files are in filesystem in "host" folder [00:54] Does anyone use Linux Mint? [00:54] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, in a console that you run within compiz, say echo $DISPLAY [00:54] That's weird. moto4lin says my phone's connected, but then when I say "Update list," I get the error saying "Unable to get drive list" [00:54] well when i rebuild i still get blackscreen [00:54] ty HybridZero [00:54] how do i delete xorg.conf? [00:54] soldats, ok [00:54] np :) [00:54] Smartpart: rm xorg.conf [00:54] Then when I click the connect/disconnect button: [00:54] [error] Unable to get file count [00:54] [info] Sending control message failed.. Retry... [00:54] i cant seem to ctrl+alt+f1 anymore [00:55] :1.) is what was returned [00:55] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, is it black? [00:55] Aoshi_01: it's 5 years for some things and 3 years for others for an lts. [00:55] mt - :1.0 [00:55] emax its white [00:55] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, try DISPLAY=:0.0 fglrxinfo [00:55] Hi guys, today nm-applet stopped responding, and since then my wireless has not connected [00:55] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, I read about the white screen effect somewhere [00:55] kyncani: for the desktop release there are 3 yearse and they are not done [00:55] how can i mount my Windows XP partition? [00:55] i just freaking booting into a cmd line with ctrl+alt+f1 now it wont let me wtf [00:55] <_eMaX_> SerialCookie, how about sudo apt-get install wicd [00:56] ubuntu does it automatically [00:56] is there a fix for cron ? [00:56] @Uplink [00:56] TonsOfSparks, no it doesnt... [00:56] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, on a black screen I sometimes can recover by suspending and resuming [00:56] will try it _eMaX_, thx [00:56] hello [00:56] I have had this problem with cron for months and still cant get a fix [00:56] uplink, oh , never mind. [00:56] Aoshi_01: so i supposed that means that even a server have some packages that are more desktop related and thus are only supported 3 years, which make the support only 3 years instead of 5. [00:56] go to computer [00:56] Uplink: sudo aptitude install ntfs-config then run ntfs-config. Check both boxes. [00:56] (i think) [00:56] yesudeep2, ty ty [00:57] Wow what a great match between swiss and turkey [00:57] <_eMaX_> except for people in switzerland, of course [00:57] if it refuses, then you didnt shut down XP properly and you need to boot XP and do a chkdsk [00:57] emax i cant get into anything [00:57] kyncani: 2008-2006=2 yers, we have 1 year more for desktop support in 6.6 [00:57] at login screen if i login i get whitescreen [00:57] Aoshi_01: and from 6.06 + 3 years, that means you have to switch to either hardy or lenny [00:57] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, what is your kernel version [00:57] it wont let me go to cmd line for some reason [00:57] 8.04 [00:57] the newest one [00:57] Aoshi_01: or rely on a non-lts version [00:57] i think .04 [00:57] Mounting /media/hd1 failed. [00:57] ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/disk/by-uuid/A6388E59388E27FF': No such file or directory [00:57] Please type '/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g --help' for more information. [00:57] smt like that [00:58] <_eMaX_> that's not what I asked :) [00:58] http://pastebin.ca/1045549 ; i always get this problem when i try to do ./configure on anything [00:58] kyncani: 7.10+6months that means you have to switch to the next [00:58] o [00:58] idk what it is then lol [00:58] <_eMaX_> Uplink, try the actual dev [00:58] Smartpart: uname -r [00:58] eMaX : nice it's OpenGL vendor string : ATI now [00:58] Smartpart: ctrl+alt+f1 or f2, f3 to go to command line [00:58] _eMaX_, what? [00:58] <_eMaX_> Smartpart, uname -a [00:58] Uplink: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [00:58] it was Mesa [00:58] Anyone know how to use moto4lin? [00:58] kyncani: and if we use a variable: $eachLTS+6months=switch to the next version [00:58] Uplink: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | pastebinit [00:58] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, see? It took me like 2 days of poking around trying to get rid of Mesa when I noticed that I already had the driver correctly installed. [00:59] its not to big [00:59] @kyncani that worked earlier [00:59] 2 lines [00:59] uplink, have you chkdsk'd XFP? [00:59] it does nothing now [00:59] sorry kyncani jeje I mean $eachNOLTS [00:59] uplink@HP-Pavilion:~$ ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [00:59] 4a590b8a-b3e6-4c8b-84b3-4904279bd041 CE5846D05846B6CD [00:59] 7163e72b-7448-4855-99b3-0b86471170d8 d0b063a8-431b-4b39-8c30-8bbcb36f9be9 [00:59] i cant get to a command line [00:59] im stuck at login [00:59] however...i think i am missing a step somewhere, cause direct rendering still is not enabled [00:59] Aoshi_01: yep, so you will have to switch to 8.04 at some point ... [00:59] well you're getting an error because the uuid specified in /etc/fstab doesn't exist [01:00] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, yes, it is. on display 0. [01:00] http://pastebin.ca/1045549 ; i always get this problem when i try to do ./configure on anything [01:00] Uplink: edit /etc/fstab to update it to the real dev [01:00] Hi. Ubuntu 8.04. When I set up remote desktop.. it all looks fine(Preferences->Remote Desktop) - but when i log in with what it tells me to from my windows computer - vncviewer says "failed to connect to server" - it's all LOCAL, no firewalls, goes through router.. any idea? I have a drive mapped, I can ping the box... [01:00] yesudeep2, what does that supposed to mean [01:00] kyncani: so how can I fix my HD issue? :( [01:00] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, ok here is an example. If I start googleearth on compiz (DISPLAY=:1.0), then it is slow like crap. If I do like DISPLAY=:0.0 googleearth, it is very fast, but of course without window decorators. So You have the choice... [01:00] Smartpart: you're stuck at X login and cannot switch to command line with ctrl+alt+f1 ? that's new [01:00] Uplink: Ubuntu uses a uuid to identify your ntfs partition. Did you reinstall Ubuntu or something just now? [01:00] Or upgrade? [01:01] yesudeep2, i had vista on it but i took it off and got XP [01:01] one easy question: sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive >>> what means "yourdrive" [01:01] lol yes [01:01] this sucks [01:01] eMaX - how do i change it all to DISPLAY 0.0 [01:01] i guess ill just reformat/reinstall [01:01] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, you don't want to... [01:01] Aoshi_01: well, I suppose you still have 6 months ~ 1 year to figure it out :) [01:01] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, for example, try DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm [01:01] Uplink: sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [01:01] wastedfluid, what type of router? [01:02] kyncani: thats not helpfull :S [01:02] i see [01:02] Uplink, add a line similar to: "/dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0" to /etc/fstab [01:02] SeaPhor, Linksys WRT54G. i should note I tested FREENX, and the FREENX client worked.. I just don't want to use FREENX, plus it doesn't resume connections for me.\ [01:02] change the /dev/sda2 to the location of your windows partition [01:02] <_eMaX_> CtrlZftw, I have not yet found a solution to that. Try asking in #compiz [01:02] http://pastebin.com/f41caead6 [01:02] one easy question: sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive >>> what means "yourdrive" [01:02] one easy question: sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive >>> what means "yourdrive" [01:02] you can find that out in /boot/grub/menu.lst if you don't know what it is [01:02] yesudeep2, http://pastebin.com/f41caead6 [01:02] Aoshi_01: yep, well, i'm still using debian etch at work, hardy still have to much issues like that [01:02] porkedpiehat, ??? :| [01:03] kyncani: ok, is there a way to change the hard disk driver? or it is build in the kernel? [01:03] I'm trying to sync a windows mobile phone to my gutsy box. What applications do I need? [01:03] type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and add that line [01:03] wastedfluid, linksys routers have firewall capability , you said no firewall so did you turn it off, or DMZ the Ubuntu box? [01:03] Heya, anyone here run 8.04 on a HP dv9000z (AMD Turion X2) and got KVM working? [01:04] Aoshi_01: i think so (not tried though) 1) i think you can configure your own kernel and tell him to use the old ide subsystem/drivers/whatever 2) use an older kernel, before the grand unified ide/sata/scsi thingie [01:04] Uplink: See the line # [01:05] I've got an Ubuntu partition and a (larger) Windows partition on a machine. What would be the best way to shrink or delete the Windows partition and resize the Ubuntu partition to fir the space? [01:05] UUID=A6388E59388E27FF /media/hd1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [01:05] kyncani: ok tnks [01:05] Uplink: Comment that line out by prepending a # character to the start of that line. [01:05] yesudeep2, im n00b at this... i have no idea [01:05] yesterday my gutsy laptop stopped being able to connect to the wireless network it had been connected to for months -- how do I determine if the wireless device is fubar? [01:05] Aoshi_01: both options being impractical from my point of view, I have not looked the matter any further for now. [01:05] Aoshi_01: np, good luck :) [01:05] SeaPhor, I didn't DMZ the box. I was talking about software firewalls. I have not touched anything in the router, because uPNP is enabled, and I don't need to forward ports.. up to this point [01:05] Uplink: Ok. Here's what you have to do. You need to edit this file /etc/fstab with elevated privileges to help Ubuntu recognize your Windows partition. [01:06] which package should i install to be able to change compiz-fusion settings? [01:06] yesudeep2, ok how do i do that? [01:06] can someone tell me how to launch ubuntu from the kernel? [01:06] Uplink: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [01:06] how install skype? [01:06] sweetgum: that doesn't make sense [01:06] !compiz-fusion [01:06] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:06] Uplink: Before you do that make a backup of that file using sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup [01:06] hi all, is it possible to cap a process' bandwidth? i'm doing an upgrade on a system via ssh and i just realized that the packages it has to download are going to eat up all the bandwidth [01:06] Uplink: So you can restore if something goes wrong. [01:06] leonidas_: Good question. I could not get it running also. [01:07] anyone on how to determine if my wireless card is broke? [01:07] Uplink: Also make sure you don't have any external drives attached. [01:07] yesudeep2, ok ty [01:07] musikgoat: why not? [01:07] hvgotcodes: What does iwconfig tell you? [01:07] yesudeep2, yes i unplugged my external HDD [01:07] musikgoat: i just compiled the kernel and added it to the grub boot screen, ubuntu is still installed [01:07] yesudeep2, what do i edit now? [01:08] How long to put a 3/4" thich piece of swordfish in the oven for? [01:08] BluntObject: it shows an eth0 and an eth1 [01:08] Uplink: Ok. Now type this command as well: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | pastebinit [01:08] hi..does anyone know how to make eclipse use java6 instead of openjdk6. ive just installed java6 but it is not available in the dropdown list. it should be there together with openjdk right? [01:08] Uplink: I'll tell you in a bit. [01:08] loading a kernel is part of the boot process... but you don't boot from a kernel [01:08] one easy question: sudo tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/yourdrive >>> what means "yourdrive" [01:08] BluntObject: its really wierd it was working fine for months, detecting networks, now it shows nothing [01:08] hi, had two partitions one with ubuntu on one with win xp, and grub boot loader. i just eliminated the ubuntu partition to put it on via wubi, but now the grub is broken. how do i remove grub so it uses windows boot loader? [01:08] yesudeep2, http://pastebin.com/f4d2b9945 [01:08] hvgotcodes: have you restarted? [01:08] yes [01:08] twice [01:09] hvgotcodes [01:09] Uplink: Now open your /etc/fstab file using this command: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [01:09] do you know how to boot into ubuntu from the kernel? [01:09] hvgotcodes: Is the driver loaded in lsmod ? [01:09] yesudeep2, done :D [01:09] yesudeep2, backup made too [01:09] BluntObject: confirmed ipw2200 [01:09] Uplink: Notice that the numbers you see in ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ are also seen in /etc/fstab. See them? [01:09] sweetgum: that question makes no sense [01:09] hvgotcodes: Try unloaded the driver and reloading it. [01:09] yesudeep2, kinda yes [01:10] you don't "boot into ubuntu from the kernel" [01:10] Then check your /var/log/messages to see what it reports as it is loaded and initialized. [01:10] Uplink: The only line that is broken is the line # [01:10] UUID=A6388E59388E27FF /media/hd1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [01:10] Uplink: see that? [01:10] hvgotcodes: isn't the kernel the screen that says #root@root: ? [01:10] yesudeep2, what line? there are a lot of lines === brocebegone is now known as brocebeats [01:10] lol [01:10] wastedfluid, well if you dont need to forward ports,,, i'm out of ideas,, it just works for me and i am new to Ubuntu, but doing remote for a living for a while, so maybe a ubuntu specific issue, but being local i would suggest looking at logs on both machines and see if there is an instance of "external host xyz was denied ..." or failed login to,,, or access denied.. and look at why [01:10] Uplink: line 13 in /etc/fstab [01:10] sweetgum : that is a terminal [01:11] hvgotcodes: i see... what is the kernel? [01:11] yesudeep2, UUID=A6388E59388E27FF /media/hd1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [01:11] BluntObject: rmmod ipw2200 and then what? [01:11] hello again.. I setup Remote Desktop (Via preferences->remote desktop) - however, when I click on "LOCAL connections only" - it will not work - i can not connect to it.. i get "failed to connect to server" - HOWEVER, if I uncheck "Local connections only" - it works ! any ideas? Seaphor [01:11] hvgotcodes: i mean waht does it look like [01:11] sweetgum: the kernel isn't visible, its the underlying hardware communication layer [01:11] Uplink: Yes. See the number A6388E59388E27FF in that line? You need to replace it with CE5846D05846B6CD. [01:11] sweetgum: the kernel is the operating system itself, it manages the memory, scheduling tasks, the drivers that run your hardware, etc [01:11] So I just upgraded to 8.04 (Yeah yeah I know behind the times) but does anybody know how to get the restricted driver icon out of the toolbar without turning off the driver? [01:11] sorry closed channel by accident [01:12] yesudeep2, ok done, now? :D [01:12] Farnaby: mine went away on its own [01:12] Uplink: Close gedit and run ntfs-config [01:12] I wish mine would. Its the only visual thing I dislike [01:12] Farnaby: are you using all of the restricted drivers it offered? [01:12] yesudeep2, saved it and running ntfs-config [01:12] BluntObject: how do i reload the driver? [01:12] yep [01:12] The svn channel isn't being much help - I know this is the wrong place but it's a simple question. Would I be safe tar'ing my svn directory as a backup, or do I need to dump them? [01:12] hvgotcodes: is the kernel just the output of data until it loads terminal? [01:12] Uplink: Tell me your partition now mounts. :P [01:12] wastedfluid, check box on which machine? the "server" or the remote>? [01:12] yesudeep2, yay! <33 [01:13] Hopefully someone uses SVN here, lol [01:13] sweetgum: look at the previous post i directed at you [01:13] Uplink: It did? [01:13] hvgotcodes: i left channel by ciddent can you post it again [01:13] SeaPhor, On te server machine.. if I select "Local connections only" - and try to connect from Windows - it says "failed to.." - if I UNCHECK local connections only - it works! [01:13] anyone read this? http://osnews.com/story/19848/GNOME_in_the_Age_of_Decadence [01:13] yesudeep2, the problem i have is that i have to mount it manually everytime i boot into ubuntu... [01:13] sweetgum, the kernel is what provides the enviornment that the shell interfaces with via gnu binutils, its merely an interface that allows you to speak human to the PC. [01:13] Uplink: This time it will mount automatically. [01:13] sweetgum: the kernel is the OS itself. Its linux. it controls your hardware and allows you to run programs [01:13] yesudeep2, ty ty :d [01:13] Uplink: All partitions mentioned in /etc/fstab are mounted automatically. [01:14] joshual, no but I will have in a few minutes ;) [01:14] :) [01:14] yesudeep2, yea my external HDD gets mounted just by plugging it in [01:14] wastedfluid, hrm,,,, so, it works, but only if you open yourself up to anyone,,, ,,, [01:14] macd: so it is the terminal in essence? [01:14] sweetgum: the kernel is like some god because you don't see it and it's all powerful. Except that it's very real and handling all drivers for hard drivers, ethernet cards, ... [01:14] macd: let me know what you think [01:14] SeaPhor, yes. If I open it up to anyone it works. Perhaps, when u uncheck that - it adds a uPNP for it? perhaps, if i forward LOCAL traffic? [01:15] i guess Blunt had to go away -- anyone how do I load the ipw2200 module? [01:15] kyncani: when i chose to boot directly into the kernel i am presented with a terminal.. is it that not the kernel? [01:15] sweetgum: no, the terminal is an interface to the operating system... it allows you to call commands to the OS which can be interpreted by the kernel... [01:15] hvgotcodes: isn't ipw2200 in restricted modules ? [01:15] kyncani: I dont think so -- it worked out of the bo [01:15] x [01:15] musikgoat: do you know how i can load Ubuntu from the terminal [01:15] sweetgum, Im not quite sure I follow you there, the kernel is the OS, and all the tools installed are what makes it able todo what you want it to, in order to put it in perspective with windows, the kernel would be windows minus any programs, and the GUI your used to. [01:15] lol [01:16] <_Baseboy_> hi [01:16] sweetgum: is this a joke? [01:16] how come if i try to enable Visual Effects on my laptop i get a msg saying they couldnt be enabled? [01:16] sweetgum: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [01:16] sweetgum, you can login to ubuntus command line, rather the GUI if you wish [01:16] lol hvgotcodes so true :P [01:16] hvgotcodes: nope [01:16] thanx _eMaX_ [01:16] sweetgum: you got irc working but you want to "load ubuntu from the kernel"? [01:16] sweetgum: you don't boot into the kernel, that's not possible and that does not make any sense. You boot either into a graphical mode (with a graphical login screen) or in command line (with a text login screen) [01:16] hvgotcodes, like its ever a joke in here with these questions ;) [01:17] macd: yeah -- some people think im joking when i ask how to get the ipw2200 module reloaded [01:17] yesudeep2, ty for your help :DD [01:17] sweetgum: and you want to boot into graphical mode, which is the default if ubuntu is working on your machine. [01:17] Uplink: Np. [01:17] hvgotcodes: i used grub to get into IRC... but im attempting to compile my own version of the kernel to understand what it is, so i load into terminal [01:17] hvgotcodes, rmmod, then insmod ;) [01:17] wastedfluid, are your router's ip addy and the ubuntu box's ip addy on the same network,,, ie 192.168.1.x/24, ?? [01:18] yes.. the laptop is 192.168.1.103, and this is 192.168.1.102 [01:18] sweetgum: Trolling? [01:18] macd: my insmod ipw2200 No such file or directory [01:18] i need one on one help can some one help me plz? [01:18] if anyone replied to me... please do so again... had to quit firefox... [01:18] !ask | murgi_chor [01:18] murgi_chor: 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. :-) [01:18] hvgotcodes, do you have linux-restricted-* installed? [01:18] yesudeep2: for once, i think not, i think he just needs to learn a bit [01:18] kyncani: yea [01:18] macd: how do i tell from the command line? [01:18] wastedfluid, no,,, whats the router's ip addy and sm === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda|SNORE [01:19] hvgotcodes: apt-cache search [01:19] hvgotcodes, 'sudo dpkg -L linux-restricted*' [01:19] sweetgum: if you want to know what a kernel is, i suggest you start looking for kernel at wikipedia, wikipedia is always a good place to start :) [01:19] i recieved my preinstalled ubuntu from Dell today, and i wanted to upgrade it to 8.04 today.. when i clicked upgrade it ran into complications , so i would like to do a brand new clean install from a cd, but a black screen starting with busybox v1.1.3 comes up [01:19] Can I get some Audio CD extraction help? [01:19] murgi_chor: Do you have an nvidia graphics card? [01:20] kyncani: i understand what it is im just trying to load ubuntu from the terminal [01:20] hvgotcodes, if nothing shows up, 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-686' or 386 if your PC is pretty old. [01:20] kyncani: startx doesn't work all the way [01:20] rcrc [01:20] yesudeep2 yea i have a 256mb nvidia [01:20] oops [01:20] sweetgum, are you in ubuntu or windows? [01:20] yesudeep2, whats the "cat" command for? [01:20] Uplink: "conCATenate" [01:20] yesudeep2, and what does that mean? :S [01:20] Sound Juicer doesn't let me extract ACC OR MP3 [01:20] macd: i dont understand why this would happen if this was working yesterday? [01:20] sweetgum: in tat case, ctrl+alt+f1 or f2, f3, ... will give you a terminal. ctrl+alt+f7 will go back to the graphical screen [01:20] Uplink: concatenate [01:21] yesudeep2 yea i have a 256mb nvidia [01:21] Uplink: Combine multiple things together one after another [01:21] hvgotcodes, lets focus on the fix, and not the reason it happened [01:21] so the apt-cache returned results, macds command did not [01:21] this is funny [01:21] Uplink: used for joining files, or displaying file in terminal [01:21] murgi_chor: I faced the same problem. Hold on. [01:21] yesudeep2 ok [01:21] wastedfluid, the router can have a ip of 192.168.0.1/16 and issue ip addys to 192.168.1.x/24 and the pc will see it as non local [01:21] macd: couldnt find package [01:21] yesudeep2, oh like displaying several txt files in 1 folder? [01:21] hvgotcodes, apt-cache search, searches the software repos, NOT the local system. [01:21] SeaPhor, well, would 192.168.1.103 and 192.168.1.102 be local, though? [01:21] Uplink: yes that too [01:21] How do I force Sound Juicer to use MP3? OR ACC? [01:21] hvgotcodes, so go ahead and install the package I suggested earlier, reboot, then try your module again. [01:22] How do I check router's ip addy and sm [01:22] macd: couldnt find that package [01:22] I login to the router with 192.168.1.1, if that's what ur asking [01:22] Uplink: To see what a command does type 'man command' where command is the one you want to read about. [01:22] hvgotcodes, linux-restricted-modules-686 [01:22] yesudeep2, its too geeky and i dont understand a thing [01:22] macd: can't find that one either [01:22] very [01:22] hvgotcodes, sorry about giving you the wrong package the first time ;) [01:22] very [01:22] wierd [01:22] Uplink: google is your friend :) [01:23] hvgotcodes, it cant find the second one I gave you? [01:23] wastedfluid, but its comming from the router on the remote desktop port,,, it looking at the router on that port before it will look at who sent it [01:23] when i open youtube the system freeze ..... does anyone know how i can solve this [01:23] macd: negative [01:23] ? [01:23] Uplink: the man pages are really helpful too [01:23] if i were to install linux on an existing machine, how should i handle boot loading, and if i were to uninstall it in the future would it mess up the windows boot loader? [01:23] Can anyone tell me how to connect to a Windows VNC Server using Terminal Server Client? The VNC protocol is greyed out in my TSC. I can only choose RDP and RDPv5. [01:23] murgi_chor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia <-- Read the section: Screen Blanks/Monitor Turns Off [01:23] hvgotcodes, try linux-restricted-modules-generic [01:23] I want to add MP3 and ACC to sound juicer, what package to I need? [01:23] kyncani: worked. [01:23] Uplink: Type man command in Google search. :-) [01:23] elrancho: if you decide to get rid of linux, you can restore the windows boot loader [01:23] kycani: could i call the grub loader the kernel? [01:23] yesudeep2, ? [01:23] macd: already on the newest version [01:23] zaklinux, use the VNC client, I dont think the newer TSC supports vnc (server 2008 maybe) [01:24] Uplink: Sometimes it's easier to read if you have nice presentation. [01:24] elrancho: you need to boot up with the windows cd, do the recovery console and run fixboot and fixmbr [01:24] wastedfluid, ok, then is on same network and locl,, had to start there [01:24] macd: and its set to manual install [01:24] hvgotcodes, what does "lsmod | grep ipw" tell you? [01:24] macd: Thanks! I'll try that. [01:24] yesudeep2, yea thats always true [01:24] ok, so i would want to install grub into the mbr? [01:24] Uplink: However, you might want to read some "Help" documentation to get started. [01:24] macd: nothing, but another poster had me remove it [01:24] does ubuntu 8.04's kernel use the CFS? [01:24] sweetgum: nope. You should really read the articles about the kernel in wikipedia. If you do not read this kind of documentation, you will never be able to know what a kernel is. [01:24] yesudeep2, ok ty =D [01:24] elrancho: yes when you install linux [01:24] hey guys can you help me in this problem [01:24] ? [01:24] yesudeep2 but i would like to install a fresh ubuntu 8.04, cuz in this one i cant even access the ubuntu system ,, it sorta jus freezes while starting [01:24] (completely fair schedueler) [01:24] elrancho: you have XP or Vista? [01:24] XP [01:24] im beginning to this the easy_e17 script screwed something up [01:24] hvgotcodes, not sure why youd remove it, but 'sudo insmod ipw2200' doesnt load it? [01:24] murgi_chor: Install it using the alternate disc [01:25] i don't think i have an XP install CD though, it came installed on this laptop [01:25] elrancho: you'll be fine installing grub when it asks you while finishing the ubuntu install [01:25] i run all my routers and firewalls on completely different networks for that very reason [01:25] macd: cant read ipw2200: no such file or dir [01:25] elrancho: hmm [01:25] hvgotcodes, this is Hardy? [01:25] elrancho: could you get hold of any odd cd? [01:25] gutsy [01:25] macd: gutsy [01:26] yeah probably [01:26] elrancho: cool [01:26] alright thanks for the info [01:26] elrancho: you're welcome [01:26] help need with a ipaq rz1700 connection to ubuntu [01:27] so i boot, the module is there and loaded, but i cant connect to the wireless access point i have been connected to for months, and when i remove the module i can't reload it [01:27] im scared [01:27] hvgotcodes, does "dmesg | grep ipw2200" return anything? if so please pastebin the output. [01:27] elrancho: i'm on a dell myself and don't have a cd, i just use a torrented copy to do that [01:27] yesudeep2, i dont understand :( [01:27] elrancho: it doesn't need a correct CD key to do that, and thats all i need [01:27] yesudeep2 i have a silly questions ... do i get the 64 bit or standard ? [01:27] hvgotcodes, and did someone have you delete the module off the harddrive (rm ipw2200.something), or just use rmmod to unload the module? [01:27] !pastebin [01:27] 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) [01:28] question can i use my laptop with a sprint broadband card and connect other computers to it and share the internet connection? [01:28] ubottu...can you help me ? [01:28] AwaDoV: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:28] wastedfluid, then i would suggest, 1st look up the port ranges for the protocol, check the router logs for those ports being denied, forward them if necessary , and then look at every option for ubuntu, but at the point that its a ubuntu issue then i will pull in help [01:28] elrancho: you could also try request an OS cd from your computer manufacturer [01:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19501/ [01:28] SeaPhor, Let me look at the logs. [01:28] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19501/ [01:28] sorry :D [01:28] i thought i might be able to hook a palm pilot to a usb hard drive with music and use the palm to browse music, and play thru my home stereo, from what i can tell, you cannot connect an external drive to a palm, would anyone have any idea's of something small i could use to browse and play music from this usb drive? [01:28] macd: someone had me do rmmod [01:29] I have just installed ubuntu desktop on 2 machines on my LAN. In each machine are old WinXP hard drives with data I want to be able to access from either machine. what is the simplest way to accomplish that? [01:29] macd: he wanted me to unload and reload, reload failed [01:29] mason420: yes you just need to mount the drives [01:29] mason420: ubuntu 8.04 has ntfs-3g by default i think so it should read fine [01:29] murgi_chor: Which processor does your machine have? [01:29] Uplink: What do you not understand? [01:30] rampageoberon: I am not sure of the syntax to even find the other machines on my LAN [01:30] macd: hehe, does rmmod unload it from the kernel or delete it from the disk? [01:30] hvgotcodes, k, do this, 'sudo updatedb" then "locate ipw2200*" [01:30] yesudeep2, how to use it... im so lost and im trying "ls /etc/fstab/" but all i get in return is the same [01:30] hvgotcodes, just unloads the module from the kernel. [01:30] yesudeep2 Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E2180 (1MB, 2.00GHz, 800FSB) [01:30] macd: i got about 9 items from the locate [01:30] pastebin them as well plz [01:30] ipw2200.ko [01:30] rampageoberon: i CAN see the ntfs drive in the local machine, but I want to be able to see the ntfs drive in the remote machine [01:31] mason420: first you mount the drives individually and then you can install samba and set up filesharing on there [01:31] Uplink: Well /etc/fstab is a file. ls is used to list directory contents. [01:31] murgi_chor: core duo / core 2 duo? [01:31] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19506/ [01:31] mason420: so you want to set up some sort of filesharing probably samba to do that and share the ntfs drive [01:31] yesudeep2, how come it doesnt have extension? [01:31] hvgotcodes, do this "sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko" [01:31] mason420: alternatively you could also use an ftp server or ssh to access the files [01:31] Uplink: Files in Ubuntu don't need to have an extension. [01:32] yesudeep2, :O [01:32] macd: its inserted [01:32] yesudeep2, menu.lst has one [01:32] ipw2200 149320 0 [01:32] ieee80211 35656 1 ipw2200 [01:32] rampageoberon: i was thinking the same thing, but unfortunately that doesn;t get me any closer to actually getting it running [01:32] Uplink: the .lst doesn't mean much though [01:32] !samba | mason420 [01:32] Uplink: Extensions IMO are silly sometimes as they can never be used to really identify the contents of the file. For example, on Windows a virus can pretend to be a jpeg file by using the .jpg extension. When you open it, poof. BSOD. [01:32] mason420: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [01:33] I don;t see samba in the add/remove programs list [01:33] how do i check what my mySql username and password are again? i setup lamp on this comp for testing purposes [01:33] hvgotcodes, your wifi should work now, use the network applet in the systtray to configure the connection. [01:33] yesudeep2, lmao [01:33] yesudeep2 i dunno it just says Inspiron 530,Intel Pentium Dual Core processor E2180 (2.00GHz,800FSB) [01:33] Is there a way to route all traffic on port 80 out a specified network interface? (Server is connected to two networks) [01:33] add/remove applications, i should say [01:33] is there another name I should search for? [01:33] mason420, bongload for you bro [01:33] mason420: look in synaptic, and follow the guides you were linked [01:33] I can't find "acc codec" in synaptic [01:33] macd: it shows no wireless networks to connect to. i confirmed with my work computer that the access point is up [01:34] macd: i can manaully enter the connection info, but its connection strength is 0% [01:34] Uplink: A big problem with Windows is that it hides extensions by default. One of our machines once had this virus called "New Folder.exe" except the user didn't see the .exe. The icon it used was that of a folder. What do you think would have happened? === damien is now known as P00hba [01:34] macd: this was originally a how do i tell if my wireless card is broke ;) === P00hba is now known as Damien___ [01:34] yesudeep2, a trojan @_@ [01:34] I need to copy this Audio CD into MP3 for work....I am extracting it as OGG right now because mp3 isn't working and neither is acc. [01:35] hi all. I don't think my graphics card is performing as fast nor as smooth as it should. On my desktop, I installed a different nvidia driver, and that helped. This laptop has an integrated Intel chipset...any ideas? [01:35] Uplink: Yeah. And it fills your disk with copies of "New Folder" in every directory. [01:35] Uplink: Same reason why I don't accept Microsoft Word documents. [01:35] yesudeep2, a worm too? omg [01:35] does windows play ogg easily? [01:35] swansk_: have a look at the medibuntu wiki, there are articles to ripping to mp3 there [01:35] swansk_: Get VLC. [01:35] wepeel, i dont think i can help but why are you installing a nvidia drive for an onboard intel graphics card? [01:35] yesudeep2, oh wow... its kind of hard for me to understand why linux doesnt have viruses... i was reading as much as i could but i dont seem to understand [01:36] wepeel, er, driver.. [01:36] what command do i use to change ubuntu's runlevel to 3 on the spot? [01:36] VLC sounds good synaptic? or Add-remove programs? [01:36] Uplink: don't mind that linux doesn't have viruses since it does [01:36] Uplink: what is not clear [01:36] swansk_, both [01:36] yesudeep2 i dunno it just says Inspiron 530,Intel Pentium Dual Core processor E2180 (2.00GHz,800FSB) [01:36] macd: i see in my log messages Jun 11 20:35:35 Ildatch dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth1 for sub-path eth1.dbus.get.reason [01:36] thanks [01:36] ish_nitti, sorry I'm being a bit confusing. I know I've had this problem on another computer with an nvidia card. Now I'm having it on another machine with an intel integrated shipset [01:36] * swansk_ bows [01:36] wepeel, gotcha [01:36] !virus [01:36] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:36] swansk_: mplayer is the best video player for any operating system [01:36] hi everybody [01:36] :/ [01:36] i was reading that [01:36] wepeel, why do you think your video isnt performing like it should? [01:36] I am dealing with audio here [01:37] Okay Uplink and? [01:37] rampageoberon, i dont get it [01:37] what command do i use to change ubuntu's runlevel to 3 on the spot? [01:37] Is there a way to route all traffic on port 80 out a specified network interface? (Server is connected to two networks) [01:37] uplink what exactly [01:37] ish_nitti, OpenGL games that run on a lesser machine run shoddy on this one [01:37] Uplink: There are currently no wild virus threats for linux. A virus on linux cant do as much damage as a virus on windows can is the basics [01:37] maybe i need to understand how linux works [01:37] murgi_chor: Can you show me the output of sudo lshw -C cpu [01:37] Uplink: yes [01:37] does anybody have a clue about how to get the streamplug plugin for firefox set up [01:37] murgi_chor: Paste it at rafb.net/paste [01:37] in other words how do i exit X and go to command line [01:37] wepeel, under wine? [01:37] ish_nitti, desktop effects have to be turned off to get any decent functionality [01:37] wepeel, lol you sound like you're running vista [01:37] Oh wait. You don't have anything running. Never mind @ murgi_chor. [01:37] Prefix, i understand that... but the root and user thing i dont understand [01:38] murgi_chor: Get the 64-bit version. [01:38] Uplink: use google and wikipedia [01:38] ish_nitti, hehe, I have the pleasure of not having used windows since XP SP1 :) [01:38] what command do i use to change ubuntu's runlevel to 3 on the spot? [01:38] wepeel, kudos [01:38] desktop effects can be decent if you don't run blender [01:38] in other words how do i exit X and go to command line [01:38] theLichKing: I didn't know mplayer worked in windows [01:38] swansk_: i use it on linux/windows/mac [01:38] ish_nitti, I don't really run too many games on this system, and no windows/direct X stuff [01:38] rampageoberon, everyone has told me that... [01:38] whatever01, i usually leave xORG running and hit Ctrl-Alt F1 [01:39] Uplink: the root has its own separate partition to protect it further, its basically the top admin of the system, and if it is kept secure your system is safe from all threats [01:39] whatever01--> ctl+alt+f1 [01:39] Uplink: we all do for a reason :) [01:39] whatever01, hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to to Xorg [01:39] hvgotcodes, that message is a bit beyond what I know about networkmanager [01:39] lspci gives Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [01:39] wepeel, under wine or what? [01:39] swansk_: you won't believe how fast it can run on windows, because it doesn't have all the stupid gui [01:39] Is there a way to route all traffic on port 80 out a specified network interface? (Server is connected to two networks) [01:39] Prefix, exactly! how does it protect itself? [01:39] hvgotcodes, but one sec, let me see if I can find something about it [01:39] Uplink: what about the root user and normal user is confusing? [01:39] with my nickname yesudeep2 or urs? [01:39] ok but i want to close off Xorg [01:39] macd: thanx; im googling it now... [01:39] ish_nitti, I don't run anything under wine. I'm talking about open source OpenGL stuff [01:39] rampageoberon, what prefix is saying [01:39] how do i do that [01:39] Uplink: its to do with file permissions partly [01:39] how do i change the time via terminal? [01:40] wepeel, oh i missed that. my bad. [01:40] I'm trying to install 8 onto an inspiron. [01:40] murgi_chor: Yours heh [01:40] ubuntu is running in low -graphics mode, after a reboot or two of isntalling what I thought to be AIW 9000 driver [01:40] ish_nitti, not a problem at all [01:40] rampageoberon, what if buffer overflow is used? [01:40] Uplink: in windows, everything is run as root, so if a virus infects only one part of windows, it has your whole system. In linux, because there are different user levels, its harder for a virus to take over. It has to hack the system, THEN hack into root, if it can... [01:40] theLichKing: do you have a link so I can download it in windows exe? [01:40] is anyone else getting a TON of msg spam? [01:40] god. [01:40] argh...sorry....I'm trying to install 8 on an inspiron and the install proceeds and hangs on cups and becomes unresponsive. What can I do to troubleshoot that [01:40] ish_nitti: me too [01:40] my laptop (dell inspiron 6400) running hardy (with an ati x1400 graphics card) returns from suspend fine, but it takes ages. any idea why? [01:40] Uplink: no idea what that is [01:40] yesudeep2 i pasted it there [01:40] Uplink: Becuase only root can do certain damaging commands, and unless someone who cracks the root password get access then your system cannot be hurt. It alos has its own partition on the harddrive so that if the system is filled with files such as the new folder one above, root can repair the issue [01:40] Broadcom, glad im not the only one ;) [01:40] how do i change the time via terminal? [01:41] theLichKing : right now I am trying to extract an audio CD into MP3 or ACC. What do you suggest I do? AUDIO issue [01:41] murgi_chor: Show me the url of that paste [01:41] hvgotcodes, I jsut reread that msg, thats nothing to worry about, can you connect to any other AP? [01:41] what command do i use to change ubuntu's runlevel to 3 on the spot? I want to close X. [01:41] http://rafb.net/p/ZMe8rnr77.html here u got yesudeep2 [01:41] macd: the network manager applet is not showing the dozens it usually does [01:41] btw, after i pressed ctrl+alt+f1 how do i get back into gnome [01:41] Prefix, ok for example I download a damaging script and i run it with root... [01:41] swansk_: i'm not sure, i didn't have to do it.. but i would extract them to OGG [01:41] whatever01, i already told you [01:41] if i had some of em [01:41] Uplink: yes then you'd damage it [01:41] whatever01: dunno about changing the whole run level but "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" will shut down x [01:41] whatever01, ctrl-alt-f7 [01:41] whatever01: ctrl-alt-f7 [01:41] Uplink: Rule #1: Never run as root.

(Server is connected to two networks) [01:43] how many instances of 'getty' do u guys have running when you look in system monitor? [01:43] nomaS, intel = the entire intel line [01:43] why do i keep getting private messaged by stupid clown ass that want me to join their room? [01:43] macd: ok ive done a dist update once -- I should remove all non ubuntu repos, clean all orphan packages, right? [01:43] ish_nitti, bind your daemon to port 80 on that IP.

Cause im getting that too [01:43] macd, no daemon, just apps like firefox [01:43] I would like to add a file to the usr/share/backgrounds folder using without using the Terminal, is there a way? [01:43] never done it from the command line before....

I installed it, and started the computer, kubuntu detected it fine, however no sound. [01:44] Uplink: Ignore them. If you're using Pidgin, click tools > Privacy and block all users on irc by default. [01:44] must be some spambot in the channel [01:44] ish_nitti, ahh, gotcha, stunnel may work for you, also privoxy has an outbound tunneling agent [01:44] Uplink: Only open pms when required. :-) [01:44] Prefix, thats what im thinking [01:44] yesudeep2, im using xchat [01:44] macd, i will research that. thank you for your input! [01:44] Uplink: i just ignore it and close the tab [01:44] so i used the envy24control utility, and started an mp3, i can see the volume level bars moving, but still no sound. anyone have experience with these cards? [01:44] ok :/ [01:45] revilodraw--> sudo touch /forcefsck .. do that and ree-boot.. puts things in order... granted .. bugs show up.. wait 5 mins after boot to do anything.. let things become order.. and ur bios catch on.. I know.. ive installed ubuntu 100 times ok?.. tx [01:45] im sorry yesudeep2 here it is : http://rafb.net/p/gcilyd88.html [01:45] ish_nitti, good luck, let me know how it turns out [01:45] macd, you know what i forgot about... squid [01:45] yesudeep2, can u give me another example of cat?

Take two (turn on your speakers before you do this): 1. cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp (press ctrl-C to stop it) and 2. cat 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt > 4.txt [01:46] macd: but in on 7.10 [01:46] im sorry yesudeep2 here it is : http://rafb.net/p/gcilyd88.html [01:46] grindel: so padsp rioutil [01:46] ok thanks, I will figure out what that is [01:46] hello i'm currently dual booting vista/mac osx 10.5.2 on a toshibia satellite laptop, if i use the wubi installer will it just allow a very simple triple boot and not disturb my existing config? [01:46] Uplink: The first one generates "noise" by sending random numbers to your sound card. [01:47] some rather unpleasant noise, I'd think :-) [01:47] I would like to add a file to the usr/share/backgrounds folder using without using the Terminal, is there a way? [01:47] Uplink: the second one concatenates three files and produces a fourth file containing the contents of all previous three files in the listed order. [01:47] murgi_chor: Ok. Checking. [01:47] Might want to make sure your volume is quite low before trying [01:47] yesudeep2, how sweet :D [01:47] i like sex [01:47] grindel: Alternativly you could kill the pulseaudio process and set your devices to ALSA to see if it works [01:47] MoonPatrol--> shaddap1 [01:47] hallo [01:48] Can anyone say why installing libnspr4 and running ldconfig only adds libnspr4.so.0d and not libnspr4.so [01:48] murgi_chor: I'm unable to view it. can you try pasting that at dpaste.com ?

The box is checked the next time you look, but networking is still disabled. So far nothing I can do will fix it short of rebooting, which is getting extremely annoying.

[01:56] Prefix: ahhh...I will be more clear I think, I will do what you say, but the rio Chiba is an mp3 player attached to the usb port,..and rioutil is suppose to recognise the player and allow me to load files onto it [01:56] Good Morning ubuntu users [01:56] Uplink: just do not ever run anything along the lines of rm -rf ( DO NOT EVEN TRY IT SERIOUSLY (Also, dont ban me for this..) ) [01:56] murgi_chor: You'll have plenty of packages in one DVD so it won't fetch them again from the Internet. acts like a temporary cache. [01:56] Has any1 here installed the RTL8187 networking wireless driver ? [01:56] do i have to do anything special to run diablo II install cd? [01:56] rm -rf removes stuff doesnt it? [01:56] murgi_chor: You can also feed the DVD's content to apt-cacher if you have multiple machines and therefore save a lot of cash spent on bandwidth [01:57] Uplink: unlike windows which doesn't allow you to do certain things linux actually listens and will do it (and thats a bad thing if you do do it) [01:57] grindel, is the utility for windows, I doubt it has a linux version, try just browsing to the device through your file browser and drag and drop your songs [01:57] yesudeep2 i shud get this one then : [ ] hardy-dvd-amd64.iso 23-Apr-2008 00:32 3.6G Install/live DVD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download) [01:57] not if you intended to do it though [01:57] murgi_chor: Multiple machines will then download straight from the local network cache instead of the Internet (save bandwidth, money, and time) [01:57] BUG : I think I have a bug. Audio Extractor has a preferences menu that doesn't work. It only gives me four options while "edit" gives me like eight. [01:57] murgi_chor: Yes. [01:57] Uplink, thats a bad thing when you dont know EXACTLY what you are doing [01:57] grindel: You could also try some other programs to do it, such as rythmbox, or search the package manager [01:57] yesudeep2 but thats not alternate ... is that alright? [01:57] oh man... im scared of using linux now :( [01:58] murgi_chor: It has a text-mode install option [01:58] it works tnx all [01:58] yes perfect thanx [01:58] Uplink: Don't be.

[01:58] danbhfive, yea... and a swap partition too [01:59] Uplink, dont be, just listen to the advice given and if ever unsure ask for more info [01:59] yea only change the website to sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-lame [01:59] Uplink: it only requires a bit of common sense and not running anything silly (especially as root) [01:59] Nith, tried to no avail [01:59] it report o 0.8 [01:59] Uplink: Really? Im impressed if you have a seperate /home - I only learnt this lesson last week lol [01:59] Uplink: well, reinstalling shouldn't be too hard then. Just reinstall, and the /home will save your settings. You can do this even bork your base system [01:59] Uplink but with all the warnings you've gotten, don't worry too much about breakage. It's usually the fastest way to learn [01:59] for some reason lsusb isn't showing my camera [02:00] it always used to [02:00] what about if i mess up my OS? i dont wanna reinstall compiz and ALL my settings and applications and stuff... [02:00] Does anyone have awesome .conkyrc scripts? [02:00] Any help??? [02:00] billenium, just put your /home on a different partition [02:00] When i type gksudo nautilus, nothing happens...(ALT-F2) [02:00] Uplink: Most of your setting will be saved in /home [02:00] Uplink: the best way to not mess up is not use it or not do anything new :P [02:00] do i have to do anything special to install and run games on ubuntu? i just put in a diablo ii cd to test it, and it didn't do anything [02:01] i did in terminal also [02:01] Uplink: You won't mess up your OS just like that. There are many ways to fix stuff you've messed up. Just come in here and ask [02:01] Is setting up a wireless Linksys ACX111 chipset very difficult for a new user?

[03:01] if not, how can i uninstall the program so i can try reinstalling it [03:01] yesudeep, how do i report a bug [03:01] m_newton: launchpad.net [03:02] yesudeep realplayer gold is basically the only program (next to quicktime) that plays ogg files properly [03:02] seems for some reason when I insert an audio CD or video DVD, they mount as /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/dvd1 instead of just cdrom and dvd, which confuses programs that look for them there... is it safe to symlink /dev/dvd to /dev/dvd1 and etc to fix that? [03:02] yesudeep, ok i am there, how to submit [03:02] which is the only reason y i want it anyway cuz i have vlc for everything else [03:02] does anybody know how to change your reselution in term or key strocks in ununtu [03:02] strokes [03:02] Can someone help me try to figure out how to setup a FAT32 file system in ubuntu desktop (hardy) so that I can share it on my home network. I cannot seem to get it to work. [03:02] stewy wow, properly? doesnt' gstreamer apps play them properly? [03:02] Err. Ogg files should be playable in Ubuntu pretty easily. [03:02] s/doesnt'/don't/ [03:03] when i play ogg files they dont give me any audio [03:03] <_Brun0_> hi all. i need gedit to supress the bom mark in UFTF8 files. how can I?

How long should an issue like that take to fix? [03:04] donkeyofdimness, ...lol [03:04] yesudeep i dont know how to do that [03:04] Rimdar_Klall: People will follow up on launchpad.net.

[03:05] stewy: Open a terminal and cd to the directory where that file is. Then type `file foobar.ogg` without the quotes and show us the output. [03:05] How do you share a FAT32 mount on the network. It tries to change the permissions but always fails. [03:05] HEY!!! is fedora better than ubuntu, like # of bugs wise... also is it better to have fedora if you are running a ssh, ftp, web, and soon to come mail server??? [03:05] stewy: Probably using pastebinit (sudo aptitude install pastebinit). file foobar.ogg | pastebinit [03:05] What package might include libglademm? [03:05] Is this text bolded??? [03:05] Use your bot magic.

I'm specifically looking for a way to use /home/Pictures/ for my entire family's photo collection (sharing the database between all users on the local computer)... [03:06] it'll ask you to install new codecs [03:06] m_newton: Asking people for a poll on their choice of distribution, for example. [03:06] !poll [03:06] 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.

I want a linux distro that can get a secure ssh, ftp, web, and mail server.. also sort of medium on the configuration part... is fedora better for me? Also what other distro would you recomend [03:08] Lynet: I have done that and it seems like it worked yesterday, but today it is the same thing. I can't get it to share. [03:08] m_newton: ubuntu can do that as can many distros [03:08] m_newton: You can get all of that on Ubuntu and Fedora. Choose one that you find easy to use. [03:08] yesudeep: now you know what to get her :D [03:08] how come Firefox 3 was in an update for Ubuntu [03:08] ok.... DSC00829.3Gp: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, 3GPP is the output [03:08] No idea, but the 700 is awesome. Bang fr buck is great. [03:08] it's not even supposed to be out yet [03:08] virtuald: :P [03:09] What package might include libglademm? [03:09] Could I have something setup wrong in my fstab? [03:09] c4lman that's rc2 iirc [03:09] yesudeep, rampageoberon which is more secure? [03:09] stewy isnt 3gp video for playback on a cellphone [03:09] m_newton: wrong question [03:09] nickrud: it never says that in "about" [03:09] yeh i recorded the video with a cellphone, i can get 3gp to play on a computer as long as it has realplayer installed [03:09] m_newton: Neither and both. [03:10] or quicktime... [03:10] If i know what port something is transmitting on... is there a utility i can run to find out if it's actually transmitting? [03:10] c4lman I know, take a look at /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0/changelog.Debian.gz for the actual version [03:10] grael: iptraf or netstat [03:10] stewy ffmpeg might convert to avi or mpeg [03:10] yesudeep, so what are the advantages of having a ubuntu when it comes to fedora [03:11] m_newton: you really want to be googling [03:11] buckhunter918: Looks like this might be relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/214420 [03:11] grael, you can check to make sure its bound to the port 'lsof | grep program' and use netcat to "query" the service [03:11] Launchpad bug 214420 in nautilus-share "nautilus-share can't share ntfs/fat32 folders" [Undecided,New] [03:11] yesudeep, why would one go with a better kernal [03:11] !ot | m_newton [03:11] m_newton: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[03:23] taufiq_ilm: It's complicated and painful.

[03:24] c4lman: autogen.sh normally automatically generates the ./configure script [03:24] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Jalathan, great working on it [03:24] c4lman: It's a script used by developers to detect and run the gnu autotools in a particular sequence. [03:24] c4lman: And yes it generates the configure script. [03:24] yesudeep: it shows reslults like 0ms or 1000ms [03:24] I get a welcome message with some mistakes, including , and I the po file the sentence is writen with other words, and it's not with these erros. [03:24] weird. [03:25] virtuald: That's the line you want to edit. ask in #perl? [03:25] yesudeep: so if I ignore it and do the traditional configure > make > make install it's different? [03:25] ok [03:25] thanks for trying [03:25] c4lman: You run that only if you're a developer. [03:25] virtuald: x may also handle it.

[04:40] i did save them, i might of put them in the wrong places? it should have two cd ones right/ [04:40] ramiel77: well FWIW i got 8.04 going just fine on a D420. [04:40] zloog, hmm, no luck. [04:40] bobstro, i'm taking the same approach, i'm just wondering if dell marks up hardware costs for linux computers [04:40] ramiel77: you could always buy the 7.10 one then upgrade [04:40] ramiel77: 8.04 is VERY pleasant on dell laptops. [04:40] ramiel77: i'd just check the prices myself. you're buying a new laptop? [04:40] IdleOne but its runnin from live cd now, if i remove cd and restart it shud work now? [04:40] login is always all lowercse? [04:40] Zoem: Sorry thats the only way I know of to force a module to load at boot. And the onlything ive ever used it for is a bluetooth keyboard. [04:40] ramiel77: i'd certainly balk at paying MORE for linux on it! :) [04:40] i heard horrible things about dell's linux customer support though. try system76.com for laptops preinstalled with ubuntu [04:41] xTOGx: username is [04:41] bobstro: no, it is not exclusive to just the installer, it happens on the live cd too on 8.04 [04:41] I am trying to mount a SanDisk flash drive.

[04:41] how can I change alsamixers colors? [04:41] bobstro, yeah i'm buying a new laptop and i fear there is some price inflation which is crap since linux is supposed to be free, and yeah IRC #ubuntu is the best support in the world, hands down [04:41] geehumshriber: ah, then my experience probably won't help much. sorry. [04:41] bobstro: lol yeah but i was thinking more dell-specific help like drivers and stuff [04:42] zloog, I think it has something to do with the module being in /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/volatile. So, I guess I'll just wait for NV to put out a real driver ;( [04:42] ramiel77: other factors like can you get laptop at student discount with windows, then nuke it etc. [04:42] anyone else help? crazy graphics problems on the installer? [04:42] ramiel77: which dell are you looking at? [04:42] well any more ideas? [04:42] geehumshriber: is there a 'safe' mode option? [04:42] Acer is supposedly dumping windows and will be using linux [04:42] Zoem: Sorry, that was literally my one piece of advice to give you. I'm pretty module dumb :( [04:42] DIL: links? [04:43] digg.com [04:43] zloog, its ok, I wouldn't have asked if I weren't even more so :) [04:43] DIL, if so, i hope that they update the kernel module for the acer ACPI [04:43] bobstro, i was orignially looking at the Dell 1525 but it seems to have less hardware power and options comparatively to the 1420 so i'm thinking about a 1420 [04:43] Should translations from language-pack be different from the available in the package? [04:43] ramiel77: google around. there are good dell linux support pages. [04:43] zloog, oh, look at that. NV has released drivers for my card :D [04:43] For synaptic in pt_BR, the language-pack version is much more buggy.

[04:45] geehumshriber: http://www.linux.org/news/2008/06/06/0005.html [04:45] ramiel77: only advice i'd give is go a bit slow with video, don't force anything until you're sure of which drivers you really need. my buddy at work spent days trying to get nvidia drivers working, only to realize he's got an ATI. :) [04:45] there is another cd, there is network group [04:45] DIL: awesome.

[04:48] ramiel77: yeah, i'd balk at that for sure! [04:48] BUT [04:48] excepting the problem I've been working through (which was a beta issue), my nvidia card works much better on linux than it does on windows [04:48] Starnestommy how do i find out if im logged on to live cd [04:48] i dont have two cd drives in my computer [04:48] bobstro, well thanks for the help [04:48] murgi_chor: which hard disk and partition is ubuntu on?

[05:24] is there any way to backup my files to ftp ? i guess i would need to mount FTP, is that even posible? [05:24] yes, Reilwin. i guess i just assumed i would need video drivers for that [05:24] TOG_away, ah, kk. does the restricted driver manager show a green light for your video card? if not, check the box and restart [05:24] murgi_chor: it sounds like it's dropping you in to some kind of emergency shell. I've not seen that with Ubuntu before, but most initrd's have something REALLY tiny like ash to run the basic boot scripts with. Chances are good you mis-configured the partitions somehow, or your system isn't seeing the right one. [05:25] TOG_away, I think your screen resolution is handled by Xorg [05:25] chetnick: look into sshfs if you own both boxes. [05:25] chetnick yes, places->connect to server. There's also curlftpfs, it mounts also [05:25] TOG_away, in the configuration file, it takes the first resolution present as the default [05:25] :) ok , will take a look [05:25] murgi_chor: Which is weird, because that means grub/lilo are able to locate and load the kernel/boot disk, but it's unable to actually find it at boot time (most likely at any rate... I've not seen the error, but that's the only time I've seen that kind of situation my self.) [05:26] DIL [05:26] PleaseHelpMe: [05:26] do u know? [05:26] TOG_away, so you'll need to go to the Xorg configuration file and place the resolution you want before the rest (although I deleted all the ones I didn't want) [05:26] PleaseHelpMe: ?

[05:31] pub: use find (man find) [05:31] Jalathan: Haven't played with a clean install yet, But I'd assume they're expecting PnP hardware. [05:31] how do i get gmake to work? [05:31] hey, im trying to setup a ssh tunnel and im having some trouble... [05:31] can anyone tell me how to add screen resolution options? all I can get are <= 640x480 [05:32] !anyone [05:32] 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? [05:32] ah thats the one [05:32] Zoem...xorg.conf... [05:32] Zoem what video chip are you using? [05:32] im getting erros when i try to compile xchat: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" [05:32] What's the top resolution of your monitor? [05:32] how do i get this [05:32] falconfox: install build-essential [05:32] SixStringer, 1280x1024 [05:32] nickrud, nvidia 9600gt [05:32] Starnestommy: whats that [05:33] rampageoberon: basically it destroys some laptop hds in laptop mode by trying to conserve power by aggressively spinning up and down the disk [05:33] Zoem ah, that's not well supported [05:33] !paste | Zoem [05:33] PriceChild: I can't find a localeconf package, or anything that looks like it with a serach for 'locale' [05:33] falconfox: it's a package that makes it so that you can compile things [05:33] #exaile [05:33] Optimus55: yeah read about that, but no not getting that problem (never used the laptop on battery) [05:33] falconfox: install it with sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:33] SixStringer: this is how the xorg.conf looks like. where should i add what? [05:33] nickrud, I know, I am on nvidia proprietary drivers, which have worked fine until today [05:33] SixStringer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19540/ [05:33] rampageoberon: oh so yours is plugged in all the time then [05:33] I'm running a laptop and this is what I've got...Look for the screen section of the xorg.conf file.... Modes "1280x768@60" "1280x720@60" "800x600@60" "1280x800@60" "800x600@56" [05:34] you can remove the @xx, that's for the refresh rates.. [05:34] can someone tell me how to get gmake to work? [05:34] Zoem do you have nvidia-settings installed? [05:34] Optimus55: yes [05:34] geehumshriber: how is it not working? [05:34] Starnestommy: thanks, it worked, but now i have another error "configure: error "cannot find glib"" [05:35] SixStringer: uhm so i add the line u gave me at the screen section? [05:35] falconfox: what are you compiling? [05:35] Starnestommy: command is not found [05:35] nickrud, yes [05:35] xchat [05:35] falconfox: it probably wants an older version of it that it was compiled against. You might need whatever that gcc 3.x version glib was, or an older glib. [05:35] falconfox: sudo apt-get install xchat [05:35] nickrud, thank you for reminding me [05:35] Alright my friend I could use a little help I got the rt2860 drivers for linux for my wireless card but i dont know how to install them [05:35] Zoem I"ve never used that video card (too expensive) so I hope that works [05:35] damnit, how do i see all the programs that i can get through that thing? [05:36] Cristi...Adding what I pasted might not be perfect for you. I'm running a widescreen laptop so my resolution is a bit different. [05:36] falconfox: sudo aptitude search [05:36] geehumshriber: try sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/local/bin/gmake [05:36] falconfox: always look in abtitude first [05:36] falconfox: apt-cache search alltheprograms [05:36] *aptitude [05:36] falconfox: or use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [05:36] any helpers out there/ [05:36] that's one thing aptitude fails in, it searches so slllooowwlly [05:36] Instead of the 1280x800 and 1280x768, remove the 768 and change the other to 1280x1024 [05:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19541 <--- now, can someone tell me what's wrong with this, because I'm pretty sure it's in there [05:36] thanks Starnestommy [05:36] is there a different chat room? [05:36] Alright my friend I could use a little help I got the rt2860 drivers for linux for my wireless card but i don't know how to install them [05:37] !ask | PleaseHelpMe [05:37] PleaseHelpMe: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:37] SixStringer: can u paste me your xorg pls? [05:37] hi, is there some alternative to pdfedit? I can actually edit my pdf just fine, but when I save it only half of the page gets saved...

[05:40] PleaseHelpMe http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3518911&postcount=9 has an explanation and some instructions, the guy that makes the supergrub disk recommended it [05:40] Rabbitbunny, it is not offering resolutions above 640x480 [05:40] ok i got super grubjust now [05:41] crysnower: you might need something like SCIM for that [05:41] Zoem: Have you been playing with the conf? [05:42] Anyone know how to disable f-spot's auto-import feature? I *don't* want it to import photos when I plug in a memory card. [05:42] I have, to the extent that the auto-configure isn't able to recognize the drivers I have to use, and so I had to add that myself [05:42] anybody use a weatherforecaster or a weather type widget [05:42] Zoem: You probably have the wrong driver, or have tried to be too specific. Unless you have a piece of hardware older then 5 years in that computer, try just specifying the minimal settings. Like Just specify the video-card driver, comment out all that hsync and etc stuff. [05:42] Rabbitbunny, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19541 [05:42] for some reason I cannot signup for Microsoft Hotmail account...this site keeps giving me a warning telling me that its currently unavailable to sign me up, but my brother who is running xp, can connect to this site and signup for a new account with out any problems......im sure i have javascript enabled and everything..anybody any ideas? [05:42] chmac: iirc you can prevent f-spot from autostarting with your card [05:43] I am having trouble building the ALSA 1.0.17rc1 drivers under 2.6.25.6 kernel. The error is that "The file /lib/modules/2.6.25.6-custom/source/include/linux/version.h does not exist." [05:43] Rabbitbunny, ok then, I can give that a shot [05:43] pub: gnome has one by default in ubuntu [05:43] anirudh0_: Indeed, how do I do that? :) [05:43] cd [05:43] chmac: nautilus edit?prefs?media [05:43] sorry..replace ? by -> [05:44] Zoem: Then, you'll want to grab a console, sudo bash, less /var/log/Xorg.0.log << look at your xorg log for errors. [05:44] anirudh0 where is it ? i changed to fluxbox [05:44] oh [05:44] pub: its a gnome applet [05:44] finally i am on windows [05:44] dangit [05:44] Zoem: You have two screens and two monitors defined. This is not normal. [05:44] pub: right click>add to panel [05:44] anirudh0_: Bingo, thanks. I was looking in gconf-editor and almost there :) [05:44] anirudh0_: Much appreciated, cheers. [05:44] can i fix my problem now that im on windows or not? [05:44] Zoem: You're trying to run dual-headed? THAT is a different ballgame entirely. [05:45] I am trying to mount a SanDisk flash drive. The problem is it will not mount. I was following steps to get DSL to run on it through Linux and now I am at this problem. Here is the guide I was following: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive . It worked before. [05:45] well ill bbl, ty all [05:45] What format does a spash screen have to be? [05:45] hej. my virtual box is making me crazy. the vb itself is running, but when i start a vdi (windows 2000) with it, i get a blue screen: inaccessable boot device. that's why i took a working vdi (of another pc), but i get the same blue screen. that's why i assume the virtual box is causing the trouble. [05:45] Rabbitbunny, ... I thought I had cut one of those out. also, commenting modelines has fixed the problem [05:45] is there something known? [05:45] thanks anyway anirudh0 [05:45] adamorjames: were you using this on windows formatted as ntfs? if you had an unclean shutdown with the device ntfs-3g doesn't like to mount it. you can try mount -o force [05:45] I have been trying to install one, but does not show up when I hit insatlll [05:46] install* [05:47] Ketsueki, Rabbitbunny, I think this happened when I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers. I must have accidently let it configure my xorg.conf [05:47] Anybody happen to have gotten a Creative SB Audigy LS working under 8.04? [05:47] how can i mask my OS type with firefox, when im surfing online? [05:47] Zoem: That's a good probability. [05:47] nano: fast useragent switcher [05:47] amrik, nope [05:47] nano: get that plugin [05:47] amrik, but I have done that before [05:48] now, if only I could get those drivers to be in the kernel when I start up :( [05:48] rampageoberon, i suppose thats a common firefox plugin, [05:48] I have been trying to install one, but does not show up when I hit insatlll [05:48] install* [05:48] nano: remember its not 100%, really depends on how the website identifies useragent [05:48] Zoem for that, you can try adding the word nvidia to /etc/modules, on it's own line [05:48] prettyricky: Consider using google to find a tutorial. [05:48] thanks [05:49] rampageoberon, this might sound silly, but it seems i can't signup for a hotmail account off my ubuntu? [05:49] nano: sudo aptitude install useragentswitcher [05:49] Zoem: Actually, if you're just doing normal, easy stuff, the Nvidia-drivers work OK with their reconfig tool. It might have gotten confused with an odd xorg.conf file to start with though [05:49] nano: why is that? [05:49] nickrud, I have tried that, it didn't work [05:49] nano: what error? [05:49] rampageoberon, the site(hotmail) keeps telling me that the service is currently down [05:49] hotmail is probably down [05:49] but the service seems to work fine off my little bro's computer [05:49] nope [05:50] nano: hotmails been having some issues [05:50] signup over there then. [05:50] nano: let me check [05:50] nano, off the point, get gmail instead :P [05:50] Ketsueki, in the past, they have acted strangley (reconfiguring my mouse, for instance), so I try to avoid letting nvidia touch my xorg.conf [05:50] screw hotmail...it sucks. [05:50] Hello, everyone, is there anyone using Opera browser under Ubuntu? I want to install it using apt-get, but why apt-cache seach opera have no correct result, is that because no official opera deb package in ubuntu repository?

[05:55] oh [05:55] pub: IIRC, it could be anything. it got annoying pretty quick though.

Ok, you're using grub.exe to bootstrap out of the windows boot-up in to the linux boot-up?

[05:59] Where are my GPG files saved? [05:59] murgi_chor, that fixed it for me i let that run like 3 times in a row because i didn't know what it was doing [05:59] murgie_chor yes, the livec [05:59] murgie_chor yes, the livecd [06:00] Hello everyone, i am looking for 2 things 1) is a good linux book for a linux newbie should pick up and read 2) a good linux tutorial that i can read untill i get the book, and to get my feet wet.. [06:00] bobstro i am also connected to the internet via router :) [06:00] is having a separate /home partition bad or good/ [06:00] pub: i usually wind up configuring my own iptables setup though. [06:00] bobstro oh? but how does that work for websites, you must find out their ip? [06:00] pub: well if the router has a firewall (most do), then you're in good shape. still a good idea to run a firewall on the actual box. [06:00] I've always been partial to arnos-iptables-firewall [06:00] does anyone here want to have the latest SVN Debian package build of VisualBoyAdvance-M? [06:00] pub butt then when i take away live cd it ll prolly go bak to bein a jerk [06:01] pub: no, i set it up so i can go OUT, but nothing originating from outside comes IN. [06:01] murgi_chor: ok, can you do this when the computer first boots and grub (probably what you have) starts? Press 'e' to edit the command it's going to boot. I want you to see how it's specifying the partition... something like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9fe76f51-454e-4ddb-b735-b4e6559e7306 ro [06:01] murgi_chor do the memory check with live cd and then when its done ( i let mine run 3 times because i didn'tknow what it was doing , lol) chose the install option [06:01] afallenhope, good, generally. Lets you re-install with minimal risk to your own data, and such [06:01] bobstro, that's pretty neat, where can i read up on that? [06:02] I was told that it gets complicated [06:02] murgi_chor: ok, can you do this when the computer first boots and grub (probably what you have) starts? Press 'e' to edit the command it's going to boot. I want you to see how it's specifying the partition... something like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9fe76f51-454e-4ddb-b735-b4e6559e7306 ro << Note, there were SOME versions of the kernel/init that hated being given a disk by UUID [06:02] pub: firestarter is nice little gui interface, but it does stupid things like fail when i switch between WLAN, ethernet and EVDO for example. [06:02] afallenhope, not really. Set it up once when you first install, forget about it after that. [06:02] pub: man iptables will get you started, and there are some good howtos on the web. [06:02] e to edit command at other options? [06:02] alright, thank you ver much [06:03] LOL [06:03] Madpilot: what if I already installed Ubuntu.. I'm removing my Windows partition and making that my /home (obviously I'm going to format it to ext2) [06:03] murgi_chor, check ram is one of the options originally like install [06:03] pub: there are two (at least) iptables -- the actual command, and init scripts that you can use to automatically configure your setup when you start. [06:03] it has orange text [06:03] where are my public key files stored [06:03] ? [06:03] babola1: `/.ssh [06:03] ~/.ssh [06:03] pub: just search on iptables in help. [06:03] apt-get firestarter right now bobstro :) [06:04] and will do on iptables [06:04] pub: if you're on a fixed machine (one interface) it's fine. [06:04] afallenhope, you can move an existing install to have a seperate /home partition; you might be better off re-installing, though. [06:04] murgi_chor: You might need to change that to read something like... root=/dev/sda1 ... Actually that's a bit annoying. Linux might see hard drives as scsi or 'hard drive' devices, More modern ones will see everything as scsi devices. The first hard disk is given the letter a, the next b, and so on, but for 'ide' hard drives Primary Master == a, Secondary Master == C, and the slaves for each are B and D respectively... [06:04] anirudh0: I've downloaded a .gpg file from the Web back when. If I just post that for download of other people, will it work just the same (wget)? [06:04] pub: i went crazy long ago with iptables scripts, but my little linksys converted to dd-wrt linux keeps life simpler for me now. :) [06:05] babola1: should.. [06:05] nuts, "you must have root user privileges to use firestarter" [06:05] Madpilot: I've made way too many modifications to reinstall lol. I'd rather just move everything. [06:05] pubs there is not check ram option in orange [06:05] i made this account with root privileges as well [06:05] pub: it doesn't ask you for your password? [06:05] hi can i add an own wallpaper for the account window? [06:05] im runnin 8.04 live cd [06:05] murgi_chor: This would actually be a lot easier if you got in to a console on the install CD (alt+F1, F2, etc, until pressing enter on one gets you a line ending in #), then doing fdisk -l [06:05] pub: yeah should work.

[06:06] yaa [06:06] murgi_chor: that will list what drives and partitions you have, which can narrow down the list of ones to try instead of the root=UUID method, which may work. [06:06] Madpilot: I found this: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=66 [06:06] murgi_chor i am sure of it, when you pop the disc in, there are about 6 items in the list after you choose your language [06:06] babola1: have you used ssh yet..to login somewhere? [06:07] Madpilot: it's an AWESOME site for Linux stuff. [06:07] pub: not sure why it's doing that to you. mine just asked me for PW as i recall. [06:07] bobstro, hehe i am using fluxbox so the gnome fkeys aren't the same [06:07] murgi_chor: choose manual partitioning [06:07] afallenhope, cool - I know the psychocats site that he links to as well, it's generally solid [06:07] pub it says : try ubuntu, install ubuntu, check cd for defects, test memory ,. boot from firrst hard disk [06:07] no, anirudh0. I use that gpg file to authenticate a repo [06:07] pub: ah sorry. bad assumption. well then whatever your "run" key is, or do it from terminal. [06:07] ooo murgi_chor [06:07] anirudh0: Walking him through a full re-install? [06:07] ooo murgi_chor [06:07] okay. [06:07] murgi_chor it is Check Memory* * [06:07] pub: that may be why it didn't ask. [06:07] I'll be back in a few (booting on live CD) [06:07] Ketsueki: ahh..no enthu fo that ;) [06:07] i dun c that ne where pub [06:07] Ketsueki: pub is helping him anyway [06:08] anirudh0, he seems to have the same problem i had [06:08] anirudh0: I think it might be an issue I saw on my laptop during testing... where it hated being told the partition by UUID. I can't remember what it was though, since it went away after later upgrades. [06:08] you can continue helping him though, sorry [06:08] pub: firestarter is gnome-centric. there may be a better option. they'll all use iptables under the hood. [06:08] bobstro, sudo works wonders:) - sudo firestarter [06:09] pub: no no..go ahead..i have no enthu..it will take a long time to get him through [06:09] how do i install soundblaster x-fi [06:09] Why do I get this error when running gnome-system-monitor via ssh? SELinux was found but is not enabled. [06:09] anirudh0, o.k. i'll read this and try to follow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=541228 [06:09] pub: when jack_sparrow is online, he keeps tellin me to use gksudo [06:09] pub: once configured, it should launch at boot so you won't need to run that each time. at terminal, do "sudo iptables -nvL" to see what's been installed with iptables. [06:09] keithclark: Maybe, because SELinux is installed, but really isn't actually enabled? [06:09] pub: instead of sudo [06:10] keithclark: No idea how to enable it though [06:10] Well that guide didn't help. It would seem vmware already comes with a installer it just does nothing as far as I know [06:10] anirudh0, isn't that just for graphic [06:10] pub do u mind if we go on pvt or another room cuz i been workin on this for 8 hours and im dead tired .. specailly my eyes [06:10] pub: err...yes [06:10] Ketsueki: got you, I'll keep searching [06:11] <^_x> solved: the photo touch up software I was trying to remember from earlier is called ---> lightzone [06:11] anirudh0: way back when, "sudo" wouldn't let you launch gui programs, so you'd use "gksudo". ubuntu lately seems to handle it either way now. [06:12] bobstro: sudo sometimes has a way of pulling in root's config..i.e. root's ~/ config files get read by the program [06:12] And evolution running via ssh creates this error of which I know nothing about: WARNING **: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-F7ZRYqizA8: Connection refused [06:13] any idea what the system requirements for compiz fusion are?

[06:17] Ketsueki: the sound works fine, but for some reason everything is 'shifted' down [06:17] anirudh0, does xve allow you to send keystrokes? [06:17] *xev [06:17] anirudh0: ok, so that much is good..... [06:17] nanothief: i think [06:18] hehe [06:18] keithclark: not sure..try starting nautilus..see if you get a similar error [06:18] K^Holtz: No clue why.... [06:18] sudo is never for gui stuff.... that's what gksu is for [06:19] K^Holtz: try using a different driver in mplayer [06:19] or kdesu, depending on your flavor [06:19] K^Holtz: I was asking you to elaborate, like if you drag it around, it STILL only displays the top half of the video? Or it doesn't following hte window... or what. [06:19] RAdams: yes. as we said. [06:19] bobstro: sorry, missed that [06:19] good evening everyone [06:19] Ketsueki: let me try that and ill let you know what happens [06:19] RAdams: he got it working (firestarter) was the main thing. [06:19] RAdams: kubuntu came out with kdesudo..kdesu is outdated...and possibly dangerous [06:20] anirudh0: Nautilus starts with this: ** (nautilus:16920): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [06:20] RAdams: though i do find it interesting that they seem to have made efforts to allow sudo to work well launching gui stuff in recent years. [06:20] K^Holtz: Don't tell me... I'm just grilling you for better problem-data. I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it, but I DO know a poor problem statement and details when I see it. [06:20] anirudh0, I'm pretty sure by the man page that xev is just a diagnostic tool, were you thinking of another program? [06:20] anirudh0: Oh, thanks for the info... haven't really used KDE in about 2 years, so my knowledge of it is dated :) [06:20] bobstro, it seems that once i minimize firestarter and then maximize it again from the systray, the box is empty [06:20] nanothief: you wanted to find out the keycode for the win key right? [06:20] bobstro: yes, it seems strange to do, if they're going to bother providing gksu [06:20] it must have something to do with fluxbox then [06:20] Ketsueki: i wasnt criticizing you or anything, i was just telling you i was about to try it [06:21] RAdams: i recall well when sudo wouldn't work but gksudo would... unless you did all the DISPLAY stuff for X 1st. [06:21] anirudh0, no, I wanted the ability to send the windows key (plus other keys) to applications, like autohotkey in windows.

[06:21] K^Holtz: I know you weren't I was just saying I'd already reached the limit of what help I could offer (more tests to try to narrow down symptoms), and that you shouldn't address me with the results specifically. [06:22] pub: open a terminal and do 'sudo iptables -nvL' to view current rules. [06:22] bigdaddy0522: nilch means... it doesn't see the ipod at all? it can see the ipod, but can't see contents? or... [06:22] Ketsueki: gotcha [06:22] K^Holtz: try mplayer -vo x11 [06:22] can someone help me install soundblaster drivers [06:22] nanothief: http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/x11-fake-keypress-event.html [06:23] radams what happens is that it wont interface with it so i can change songs or play lists.. just doesnt recognize the device.

[06:24] icogens: no it is not..sudo killall pidgin [06:24] icogens: or use the system monitor to kill pidgin [06:24] icogens: killall pidgen [06:24] bigdaddy0522: can it see anything there? or does it act as if nothing whatsoever is connected? the two problems are quite different [06:24] icogens: Then, maybe, try again. [06:24] bobstro, i installed eterm and the scroll up length is limited, so my view is _limiteD_ [06:25] RAdams it doesnt see any device at all.

Still unchanged, possibly passed a full run through the memory test? [06:39] BeBoBli: with build-essential loaded, i literally just did "sudo ./vmware-install.pl" and followed steps. [06:39] BeBoBli: just to confirm, you ARE doing the "./" at start, right? [06:39] bobstro: maybe perl is missing on is install [06:39] *his [06:40] *his/her [06:40] Yes [06:40] anirudh0: (01:38:14) BeBoBli: anirudh0 and bobstro if it matters it's actually a .pl file [06:40] really messed up with 1280*800, did many according to several tutorials. simply did not work. But my 7.04 works fine, could i simply copy over the 7.04/xorg.conf over to my 8.04 ? [06:40] anirudh0: could be. i just did a fresh install, installed build-essential and built 3 of these things. [06:40] BeBoBli: try "perl -v" [06:40] okay [06:40] bobstro:hmm..i think perl is installed by default.... [06:41] * anirudh0 goes to check [06:41] anirudh0: yeah, it should be real simple [06:41] perl seems to be working corectly bobstro [06:41] but xorg.conf looks totally different in 7.04 vs 8.04 [06:41] pitsN: I wouldn't.

I have a core2duo, 64bit ubuntu, and 2gb ram, I want to put my comp under 100% load, but it just isn't doing it. http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=73767&d=1213249332 [06:44] pitsN: desktop or laptop? [06:44] BeBoBli: er yeah, sorry [06:44] !ask | GameAddictHotlin [06:44] GameAddictHotlin: 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. :-) [06:44] does ls -l show it executable (x)? [06:44] ouch. ok. [06:45] The edgy repos has beem reomve from the offical site [06:45] RAdams: laptop [06:45] BeBoBli: lets get this right..you are in the right dir..vmware_install.pl exists..you run sudo ./vmware_install.pl and get nothing [06:45] bobstro: yes, vmware-install.pl in light blue [06:45] BeBoBli: mine shows "lrwxrwxrwx 1 bob bob 23 2008-05-15 02:16 vmware-install.pl -> bin/vmware-uninstall.pl [06:45] " [06:45] pitsN: can you post the output of lspci to pastebin? [06:45] bobstro, when i do `find firestarter` , it can't be found? do you know the dir so i can try out the log [06:45] I will try running it one more time on the desktop okay? [06:45] I'm using ssh to login to a remote machine, but for some reason, it's not recognizing the hostname. ssh recognizes the IP address alright, but when I try to ssh username@hostname, I get "Name or service not known" [06:45] XP laptop died, have external hd, need to transfer files from laptop to external hard drive. [06:45] bobstro however all of those things are correct [06:45] ghindo: add the hostname to /etc/hosts [06:46] ghindo: what happens when you ping the name? and yes, add it to /etc/hosts as anirudh0 said [06:46] hi guys i need a website and i would like to know its free to make one [06:46] BeBoBli: this does not make any sense..some step must be wrong [06:46] I think i got it [06:46] RAdams: It says "unknown host" [06:46] BeBoBli: i just realized i left the .pl off. so "sudo ./vmware-install.pl" [06:46] Ganandorf: lots of free sites ..check googlepages or yahoo [06:46] BeBoBli: this should be real simple! [06:47] We were saying install-vmware when it was backwards it was vmware-install how ridiculous! [06:47] ghindo: "man hosts" [06:47] bobstro: i think we will soon find out some other crucial fact..like the .pl [06:47] murgi_chor: Entire disk does things the old tried and true way. LVM uses a storage abstraction layer to allow you to more easily remap how you use your storage. Encrypted LVM is the same thing, but it also makes your data secret (locked/secured/etc) so that you have to enter a password to get to it (Possibly more, I've not used it.) [06:47] BeBoBli: haha. i just start typing and hit tab to be honest :) [06:47] Hello. I'm remastering and customizing an Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD. I'm looking for a way to modify the addons and bookmarks included with Firefox for the LiveCD user. I thought about using /etc/skel, but it does seem to work. Your suggestions are most welcome. [06:47] anirudh0: yep. [06:47] anirudh0: what do i need exactly to make and design a webpage what should i get and stuff and is it totally free to do so [06:47] anirudh0, RAdams: Thanks [06:47] Ganandorf: check blogger.com [06:47] cause some one was telling me about web hosting that i need a server [06:47] bobstro: tab key makes you honest? [06:47] how true is that [06:47] RAdams: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19555/ :) [06:47] BeBoBli: best kind of problem. [06:48] Ganandorf: www.w3schools.org [06:48] Ganandorf: for you own domain name, you do need a server [06:48] rabbitear: yes, it's a very powerful key. [06:48] pitsN: line 3 [06:48] and that cost money or can i get that free and how tweakable is my space in terms oof design and layout [06:48] bobstro: and to think, in the early 90's thats a useless key. [06:48] bobstro and anirudh0: I am sorry for the waste of time however it seems to be working now and the problem due to the most silly of mixups thanks for the help [06:48] rabbitear: tab key makes you correct [06:49] Ganandorf: google "google pages". I think you would find it ideal for what you need. [06:49] Ganandorf: Er, Wow... The easiest thing to do at this point, especially for someone asking such a question, is to pay someone else to host your server for you. I honestly suspect that trying to learn how to run one your self will either be so time consuming or otherwise costly that learning how to do it would not be worth the effort. [06:49] BeBoBli: hehe, glad it's working! i'm having a lot of fun with vmware. try server out soon. good stuff. [06:49] anirudh0: ya. [06:49] BeBoBli: most of the time, i respond to these final posts with a "np"..however, i'd request you to do more homework next time [06:49] Ganandorf: RAdams idea might work out better... I don't know enough about that to judge. [06:49] rabbitear: i don't remember if my apple ][ had one. [06:49] bobstro: it did................. [06:49] bobstro: what are the advantages of server? [06:50] RAdams: could you help? [06:50] bobstro: I remember it, not a completion. [06:50] XP laptop died, have external hd, need to transfer files from laptop to external hard drive. Don't understand permissions. [06:50] Is there any way to synchronize the encrypted partition password with the users signon password? [06:50] BeBoBli: automatic startup of virtual machines, can access console (e.g. BIOS) via web browser. [06:50] that's wicked [06:50] GameAddictHotlin: Define, 'Died' [06:50] GameAddictHotlin: the solution is a live cd [06:50] rabbitear: don't get me started with that stuff! [06:50] I am getting a live cd [06:51] ok cool checking the suggestions out thanks if there are any more please let me know [06:51] GameAddictHotlin: What went wrong with the laptop? [06:51] one issue is getting the read/write permissions [06:51] XP startup died [06:51] GameAddictHotlin: then you have nothing...except a defunct hd, to fear [06:51] aubuntuguy: that sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? [06:51] GameAddictHotlin: your hd had what fs? [06:51] bobstro, what do you mean? [06:51] fs? [06:51] NTFS [06:51] i am a poet and song writer and recordings artist and i just need a place to display my stuff i do it as a hobby so i don't really want to pay money [06:51] GameAddictHotlin: filesystem...ntfs,fat? [06:51] http://www.vintage-computer.com/images/apple2keyboard.jpg << bobstro I lied I guess [06:51] sorry. I'm a newb at linux [06:51] pitsN: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2717114&postcount=13 [06:51] so thanks so far [06:51] aubuntuguy: if you automate it, anybody that gets his password can get at files with no problem, right? [06:52] aubuntuguy: just an observation. no big deal. [06:52] Ganandorf: check devianart..ideal for your needs [06:52] Ganandorf: for artists , by artists ;) [06:52] GameAddictHotlin: I agree with anirudh0 on this one. If your hard disk it's self is toast, data recovery may be impossible. anirudh0 Of course it was NTFS... Do you know of any default from factory XP installs that aren't? (and this guy sounds very much like that would be the case) [06:52] rabbitear: i said i didn't remember if it had one! [06:52] bobstro: that was the first 'my computer' but its been too damn long [06:52] but do i get to customize it the way that i would like graphically [06:52] lol [06:52] bobstro: the pic shows it didn't. [06:52] well, I tried another live cd and saw everything [06:53] so it's there [06:53] Ketsueki: ntfs has no permissions to preserve..the linux driver cant read the ntfs perms [06:53] just not able to get in [06:53] rabbitear: yeah, had a ][+. mix up with //e sometimes though. [06:53] how do I load evdev after login? [06:53] ah [06:53] bobstro: install linux [06:53] Ganandorf: www.deviantart.com, as anirudh0 said, but misspelled :P and yes, you can customize its appearance, to an extent check it's help section [06:53] evdev module [06:53] I just think it would be easier to have one password for the partition and the signon, and if you change the signon password then have it change the partition password. I think at least give users the option [06:53] so only thing left is an enclosure? [06:53] GameAddictHotlin: then you are saved..run ntfsfix anyway..you might even be able to use xp [06:53] bobstro: actually I liked the IT-99-4a keyboard better. [06:53] I got a problem: s2disk doesn't work for me - it writes a snapshot onto the disk, but cannot resume [06:53] how do I load evdev module after login? i need evdev to detect my additional buttons on my vx rev mouse [06:53] So is there anythink like that out there? === kat is now known as Guest18820 [06:53] rabbitear: hey, i've got the beast still, intend to have it run as a terminal -- tail syslog or some such for fun. [06:53] So is there anything like that out there? [06:53] ntfsfix is in linux or on the WinXP cd? [06:54] rabbitear: you can map your keyboard to anything else..see xmodmap [06:54] rabbitear: lowercase. sheer luxury! [06:54] ok cool and how customizable is my space [06:54] GameAddictHotlin: run ntfsfix on the hd partition [06:54] RAdams: sorry , i even do not know howto install ? any hints :) [06:54] aubuntuguy: giving the lvm encryption password to a higher level software is a security hole. [06:54] Ganandorf: see the site for more details please [06:54] hotplug will fail because x will unload evdev after it failed to find the device [06:54] bobstro: cools, man, ya I remember that... save a Word Processor proggy that I forgot the name of, . [06:54] how do I make sure evdev load if I plug the mouse in [06:54] bobstro: talk to you later, have to jet right now.. [06:54] GameAddictHotlin: anirudh0 True, very true. However, we've yet to determine what the real issue is. GameAddictHotlin Yes, Actually, you should look in to smart-mon-tools (program smartctl ) to TEST the hard drive first, to see if it has physical errors, Especially since it is a laptop hard disk. HOWEVER, if you are already hearing 'strange' noises, like clicks or cluncks form the drive, BACKUP DATA FIRST. [06:54] rabbitear: ok, later. [06:55] pitsN: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" [06:55] anirudh0, i use truecrypt and mount the first partition with passphrase (/usr) and the rest with keyfiles on /usr [06:55] RAdams: thanks :) [06:55] pitsN: I recommend you backup your xorg.conf FIRST [06:55] that way i only need to type one passphrase [06:55] darth: err...why tell me? [06:55] issues are that the XP startup crashes and in safe-mode hangs on files [06:56] RAdams, okay I could see that, but still. If there is an option to give the user the ability to synchronize the signon password with the encryption password would be a good thing. At least have the option. Is there anything like that? [06:56] lol sorry wrong person anirudh0 :) [06:56] GameAddictHotlin: on the face of it, looks like a sector corruption [06:56] so I am just getting off the files from the laptop so I can start from scratch [06:56] but you can keep it regardless :) [06:56] aubuntuguy: see what darth wrote [06:56] hmmm [06:56] GameAddictHotlin: It is easier to see what you are typing if you don't use the enter key for punctuation. :) [06:56] aubuntu just use the same password? [06:57] GameAddictHotlin: i would think that backup first is advised..however see Ketsueki's post [06:57] figure out a password for user and partition and stick with it, then you have it "synced"... although i wouldn't do that myself [06:57] I would love to back up the hd on the laptop, but I have no way. [06:57] darth, do you mean manually type in the password for both. [06:57] is there a boot cd that transfers files [06:58] yes [06:58] Hi, please join irc://irc.foonetic.net/xkcd for a moment, I need help configuring my Ubuntu laptop thing [06:58] any ideas whether customs in european airports check hd for torrented movies? [06:58] GameAddictHotlin: anirudh0 is actually correct. Backing up your files first is probably the wisest option in any case. However, once you have done that, testing the disk integrity with the S.M.A.R.T. self test (it's a thing built in to the drive, but it takes special utility programs to activate it). [06:58] i know its ot, but this might be the best place to ask [06:58] Thats not the solution I was looking for [06:58] aubuntuguy, you could use a usb-stick for keyfiles instead of passphrases [06:59] keyfiles??? [06:59] ok. so how would I back it up? I would love to do that and get the files then fix the hd [06:59] greetings [06:59] RAdams: good discovery: i found one of my backup says: SubSection "Display" ... 1280x1024--> could i simply updated to 1280x800? [06:59] yeah... lvm supports keyfiles right? [06:59] I just updated to 8.3 from 7.10 now my res is off [06:59] not sure on what boot cd would be best [06:59] could these keyfiles be synced with the users signon password [06:59] only getting 640x480.. using Nvidia drivers [06:59] anirudh0: If I were going through ANY customs, I'd crypto everything but a shell of a system that I knew was secured. It might even be best to crypt the remainder of the drive in a way that you couldn't undo without a little extra help from data stored/sent elsewhere already. [06:59] pitsN: sometimes! I had luck with that, but YMMV [06:59] aubuntuguy, what do you mean? [06:59] !ot [06:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:00] Hello. I'm remastering and customizing an Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD. I'm looking for a way to modify the addons and bookmarks included with Firefox for the LiveCD user. I tried using /etc/skel, but it doesn't seem to work. Your suggestions are most welcome [07:00] well I would like a single password for both the encrypted partition and the actual login [07:00] GameAddictHotlin: you said you have an external hard drive? Do you think it has enough free space for you to copy all your files from your laptop's hard drive to it? [07:00] How do you allow X to run above 640x480? I have a Nvidia GF 7300GT 512meg ram card [07:00] so the login password could you use a keyfile to change the login password [07:00] only doing this after upgrading to 8.3 [07:00] ? [07:01] aubuntuguy, : do you just want the same password or do you want to only type one password? [07:01] Wo|f: debuntu.com has a very good guide [07:01] jshriver: I suggest investigating use of the Restricted Drivers for nvidia [07:01] maybe. But I'm only just trying to capture two folders and the partition for testing and recovery. It's a Dell. [07:01] if you want to use encryptionn without having to type you will need to use keyfiles and put them somewhere "safe" [07:01] jshriver, sudo apt-get isntall nvidia-settings [07:01] GameAddictHotlin: Computer brand is not a factor for this. [07:01] anirudh0, do you have a specific URL? [07:01] aubuntuguy, ...... like keyfiles on a usb-stick === morgan555_ is now known as morgan555 [07:02] Wo|f: google for "debuntu customize ubuntu livecd" [07:02] darth, well typing in the same password is okay. But if I change the login password. I would like the encrypted password to change automatically to the new login password [07:02] guys! what's the difference between an xml-parser-lib and xml-perl-parser-module ? [07:02] jshriver: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+restricted+driver+nvidia << for a start [07:02] I understand. Just giving some insight on the HD. [07:02] aubuntuguy, i guess you could write a script to do that instead of passwd [07:03] darth: is truecrypt 'password' he's referring to the actual encryption key? can you 'change' it without re-encrypting? [07:03] aubuntuguy: I'd not even take the key with me. I'd send it to some trusted associate ahead of time, probably wrapped in a GPG wrapper to them and/or my self. [07:03] aubuntuguy, i would advise against using the same passphrase for user and encrypted partition [07:03] how do you reconfigure X? [07:04] anyone know where I can get freepbx as a repository download? [07:04] I installed the nvidia-settings added a couple more packages [07:04] opa [07:04] theRealBallchalk: the first is a library for parsing xml, the second is a perl module for parsing xml. [07:04] sera q alguem pode me responder uma pergunta [07:04] bobstro, i think you can change passwords on the fly in truecrypt [07:04] RAdams: i m in middle of a big update, waiting...:) why ubuntu did not provide all possible list of options for users to choose our best screen. i remembered when i install ubuntu in vmware, there are too many to use though [07:04] anirudh0, a specific URL would be more helpful. I've already got the squashfs extracted and can modify packages and the like. The assistance I'm looking for is more specific than that. And telling me to Google it isn't exactly helpful, but thank you anyway === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [07:04] I can see that there is a bit of a security risk here. But I still think if people had the option. Then they would use it [07:04] jshriver: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+dpkg-reconfigure+X But you might need to use the nvidia tool to do it... [07:05] The sounds on my laptop are working, but the sound wont play in Youtube. Anyone know why? [07:05] exite iug for amd64 ? [07:05] thanks reading [07:05] Has no one else asked for this? [07:05] darth: i always thought 'plausible deniability' was the big draw with truecrypt. since it looks like random data, you could deny anything's there. using your usual password certainly seems to defeat that! [07:05] or would like this [07:05] RAdams: so what uses the lib if not perl? [07:05] aubuntuguy: post to launchpad as a feature request === donkeyofdarkness is now known as gatorade_fish [07:06] theRealBallchalk: programs written in perl :o [07:06] bobstro: Most crypto programs generate a random actual 'key' which is then secured by a password. Changing your password just re-encodes the actual key with that password for them. [07:07] RAdams: can i stop the update manager? will its partial download be wasted ? [07:07] Ketsueki: you'd certainly be making it easier for anybody out to get at that data if you 'sync' them. [07:07] bobstro: Of coruse... some really do use the password you use... A good password would also be useful, as the key could be in a known location, and thus may be susceptable to some types of brute force attacks. [07:07] bobstro, agreed [07:07] Ketsueki: i'd just be concerned that you change it from breaking truecrypt to just breaking his password hash. [07:07] syncing encryption and user passwords is stupid [07:07] Ketsueki: so ... why bother? === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [07:08] RAdams: how much space do u think the perl xml parser package needs [07:08] pitsN: stopping the update manager is like slamming the brakes on a freight train. it will stop, but bad things can happen. is it in the downloading phase still? [07:08] darth: yes, very. [07:08] K^Holtz: the flash plugin either wants to grab the soundcard exclusively (most likely). you could try 'sudo modprobe alsa-oss' and try again (you'll need to restart firefox) [07:08] darth: yeah, that's my concern. truecrypt seems a waste then. [07:08] becauese i need it to configure ; make a prog [07:08] but it's his choice... at least he knows that i/we dont like it [07:08] GameAddictHotlin: How's it comming on that download / etc? What, Precicely are you downloading anyway? [07:08] K^Holtz: if that works, you can edit /etc/modules and add it in there [07:08] bobstro: the trick with truecrypt is to NOT use the same passphrase for user and ecnryption :) [07:08] RAdams: it is downloading package files to be used for the update [07:09] hello [07:09] thanks! that worked [07:09] RAdams: so better wait it till finish === blacksheep is now known as BlacksheepRP [07:09] i need helplooking for an olddeb file [07:09] also seems to be perm... for the past year I've had to run the NVIDIA-Linux-blah-blah.run everytime I rebooted to reload the drivers [07:09] darth: surely there's a "stupid crypto tricks" page out there somewhere. [07:09] bobstro: Read the comments by others. Nearly ... [07:10] bobstro, ahh yes the power of the intarwebz! [07:10] jshriver: You've done it wrong. You should never have to run that, Ubuntu has packages that already HAVE the driver and integrate better. [07:10] irc://iphun.osx86.hu [07:10] cef: i got FATAL: Module alsa_oss not found. [07:10] hellopeople,im looking for an deb package , acetoneiso for ubuntu 7.10 [07:10] darth how many people do you think have made there signon password the same as the encrypted partition password. Do you think I am the only person in the world who has done this. [07:10] jshaffer: More specifically, the ubuntu packages do that stuff for you. [07:10] pitsN: if it's just downloading, you could cancel it, but sometimes it gets pissy with you and doesn't unlock the lock file... not a big deal, you just have to do it yourself. Unless you really need to cancel it, best just to let it go [07:10] I am sure other users have synced there passwords [07:10] manually of course [07:10] aubuntuguy,i have no idea, i just advise against it [07:10] K^Holtz: hrm.. which version of ubuntu? [07:10] Wo|f: can you open up firefox in the chroot env?...if not look at the ff bookmarks folder..i think its .mozilla/firefox/bookmarks.html [07:10] Ketsueki: not if the key is long enough..then noone(with the possible exception of the nsa) would have a non-neglible probablity of cracking it using a rutre force attack [07:10] theRealBallchalk: Synaptic could tell you [07:11] jshaffer: Look for how to install and use the Restricted Driver for nvidia under ubuntu if you want to use that. Then please install it the ubuntu way. [07:11] cef: hardy [07:11] g1g4f3rz: http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/viewpage.php?page_id=2 [07:11] aubuntuguy: it's more a question of the importance of protecting the data. if you don't really care (e.g. just hiding some stuff) then no big deal. if it's really important, it's good to know the risk. just like running as root all the time. you can, but it's a risk. [07:11] RAdams: thanks [07:11] How do I prevent evdev from unloading? [07:11] RAdams: ubuntu ICON>add/remove == synaptic package manager ? [07:12] if I unplug my mouse, evdev will unload [07:12] My hardy heron's KDE is hosed. windows cannot be moved or resized, and they have no minimise/maximise/cancel buttons. [07:12] pitsN: no [07:12] true, but options are a good thing too ;-) [07:12] RAdams: looks like they are different [07:12] pitsN: yes..gnome-icons- [07:12] Hi ubuntu users. I am looking for someone that can help me with java plugin on a ubuntu 8.04 64bits [07:12] anirudh0: Do you not want a strong enough setup to make the cost of breaking it higher then any potential value in doing so? I would prefer the cost to be high enough that someone would feel it more expedient to escilate to the level of going around laws to unlawfully try to extract any key/etc info from me, rather then risk making it transparent for megacorps and major governments. [07:12] sauvin: I'm psychic. You're using window compositing ("desktop effects") [07:12] hello guys,i need an old deb acetoneiso package for ubuntu 7.10 [07:13] Ketsueki: wow [07:13] Ketsueki: what a post [07:13] How can I install the java plugin as 32 bit on the 64 bit platform? [07:13] RAdams, yes. I'm trying to disable them, in fact. How to kill? [07:13] Because I couln't find a 64bit java plugin [07:13] hello [07:13] it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system [07:13] sauvin: You also have an nvidia graphics card [07:13] how do i install [07:13] hello [07:13] RAdams, yes. [07:13] RAdams, HALLELUJAH! [07:14] it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system [07:14] anirudh0: Of course... I don't actually run crypto at that level on any of my systems yet. However, the point is, if you're Going to do it, do it right. [07:14] how do i install [07:14] it says it cant find gtk2.0 on my system [07:14] darth: ? [07:14] !patience | Panik [07:14] Panik: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:14] Panik: try libgtk2.0-0 [07:14] Panik: and lubgtk2.0-dev [07:14] RAdams, you psychic abilities [07:14] Who is using a 64bit distro from you guys? [07:14] alright. I'm going to download a smart-mon-tools cd and test and then does ubuntu have a fixntfs? [07:14] Panik: er, libgtk2.0-dev [07:14] darth: oh, yeah, i'm amazing alright [07:14] RAdams, do you know how to kill the desktop effects? [07:15] I need to install the java plugin and want to have it on the 64bit distro [07:15] cedriczg, i use it on my workstation [07:15] Ketsueki: that assumes that you are in a high risk environment to begin..win boxes are so much easier to break in, that the probability of your being "broken into", given that you run linux, is _very_ small [07:15] sauvin: do you want to kill them or fix the problem? [07:15] cedriczg: I am actually, Kubuntu, 64 bit (x86_64 type, not IA64) [07:15] I'd rather fix the problem, actually. [07:15] is there a sparc64 ubuntu? [07:15] darth, Hi. How did you isntall the java plugin? [07:15] anirudh0: Yeah, like I said, I don't consider my stuff to be valuable enough to run it like that yet. [07:16] sauvin: my psychic powers tell me that this is missing from your Section "Device" in your xorg.conf: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" [07:16] darth: Maybe... I've no idea, but it should be possible. [07:16] darth: I believe that the only architectures supported are x86 and x86-64. [07:16] hello ,guys, imlooking for acetoneiso deb package for ubuntu 7.10, i cant find it, anyone? [07:16] RAdams, let me test your psychic ability :D [07:16] darth: Check Debian for sparc64 support [07:16] cedriczg, dont remember, but it prolly went smoothly with synaptic [07:16] g1g4f3rz: http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/viewpage.php?page_id=2 [07:16] thnx [07:16] Applications>Internet>Bittorent Download file > but when i clicked, it try to open a local file, how to download a bt file from internet ? seems this is useless ? [07:16] darth, It seems there is no version for 64bits for java-plugin [07:17] ....i was just curious, i have an old old sun ultra 10 somewhere [07:17] pitsN: click a torrent link in your webbrowser [07:17] it says i need package gnet 1.1.8 or higher [07:17] how do i find this gnet [07:17] In fact people was preetty anoyed with Sun for this [07:17] hmmmm [07:17] cedriczg: what about openjdk? [07:17] RAdams: what is a torrent link look like? http://..? can you give me a url to test ? [07:17] darth: feast your eyes on this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/sparc64-installer [07:17] hey ghindo,i found that site b4 but its for hardy,im looking for 7.10, [07:18] out of curiosity, does anyone know if the "uselib" problem was ever fixed? [07:18] Panik: install libgnet2.0-0 and libgnet2.0-dev. What do you need these things for? [07:18] hrm [07:18] anirudh0, I tried it without success with the particular page I tried [07:18] starnestommy i need it for some newsreader [07:18] RAdams, you're batting a thousand. [07:18] nice RAdams [07:18] was ubuntu hardy heron released on the same day as edubuntu 8.04? [07:18] anirudh0, I mean I tried the openjdk plugin [07:19] g1g4f3rz: do you need acetoneiso explicitly, or just want to mount an iso image? [07:19] can anyone tell me why i dont see restricted drivers manager in my config? [07:19] Kartagis: yes as far as i can tell [07:19] pitsN: http://dl.torrentreactor.net/download.php?id=1915808&name=Foxit+Reader+Pro+2.3+Build+2825 [07:19] is this a support channel or just ubuntu users having a chat? [07:19] seagull_man: the foemer [07:19] just chat seagull_man [07:19] *former [07:19] seagull_man: support [07:19] geehumshriber: define "in your config" [07:19] ok [07:19] RAdams: i hope above is a small file :) [07:19] this is a # not a ## [07:19] geehumshriber, sometimes it's just called "hardware drivers" [07:19] seagull_man: if you want general chat, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:19] seagull_man, it's a support channel if you're inclined to ask nicely and treat people with respect :) [07:19] system -> administrator [07:19] seagull_man: strictly the first [07:20] thanks lads [07:20] g1g4f3rz: You'll have to compile from source, then. Download here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/acetoneiso2/acetoneiso2_2.0.2_source.tar.bz2?use_mirror=garr [07:20] thanks Kohlrak [07:20] got about 5 answers [07:20] i'll ignore darths [07:20] does apt-get show package name show the latest on repos or on my system? [07:20] lol [07:20] * sauvin waits for updates to happen before restarting the X server [07:20] that would be the sane thing to do yes, seagull_man [07:20] my this is one big channel [07:20] all rite,yeah i figured,was trying to avoid it [07:20] sauvin: you're not very adventurous! [07:20] lol [07:20] thNKS ANYWAY, LOL [07:20] hee hee [07:20] g1g4f3rz: might fuseiso do what you want? [07:20] didn't anyone of you have troubles to install the java plugin on 64bit distros? [07:21] Kartagis: I think in the cached index of the repos [07:21] RAdams, I don't understand, though. Everything was working beautifully when I shut down last night. [07:21] WELL, IM JUST TRYING TO CONVERT A CDI to iso , i havent heard boutit [07:21] I mean. I think I can dowload the 32bit version from sun and do a force platform command line [07:21] RAdams: ah. i found many bt links now :) [07:21] am I right? [07:21] cedriczg: did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java ? [07:21] What the frack is a CDI? [07:21] anyone know if the uselib vulnerability was fixed so i know that by releasing an assembly program using sys_uselib that i'm not handing underpriviledged users a loaded gun? [07:21] is there a easy way to install the graphics driver for my ATI All In Wonder 9000 card [07:21] please somebody help me [07:21] I beg [07:21] Starnestommy: do I need to apt-get update first? [07:21] is a differnt typeof image format [07:21] Kartagis: maybe [07:22] cedriczg: i don't recall any particular problems. [07:22] Kartagis: it depends on if the repos were updated since the last update [07:22] * sauvin restarts X [07:22] Hey a little off topic but does anyone have Shockwave running under wine? [07:22] sauvin: that's because compositing and nvidia have a magical robo-sexual relationship, the likes of which... oh never mind, he left [07:22] Starnestommy, I checked on Sun site and there is no version for 64 bits. Thanks for the link. I'll see what I can find there [07:22] !ati | Panik [07:22] Panik: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:22] cedriczg: look under the sections for amd64 [07:22] Panik, if it doesn't have a driver and it's over a year old, you have a problem. If it just came out, you just may have to wait till they make one. I heard, recently, that ATI is working on making their linux drivers a little better by making them open source (gasp) [07:22] cedriczg: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810369 [07:22] Panik: have you tried the steps mentioned in this page? [07:23] g1g4f3rz: sudo apt-get install cdi2iso [07:23] what page. [07:23] the one ubottu gave to you [07:23] !ati >> Panik [07:23] it gave no such page [07:23] that one [07:23] !ati | Panik [07:23] Panik: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:23] now it did :) [07:23] RAdams, no joy. Windows still cannot be moved, resized, maximised, minimised or canceled. [07:23] yeah bombard him with that page! === marko1978 is now known as Marko1978 [07:24] I mean does anyone have adobe shockwave running for ubuntu? Not flash, that works. I already know. [07:24] * alan_m tells Panik next time just to look up till you see something from Ubottu :) [07:24] aubuntuguy: I tried and lost too much sanity. I didn't care enough, so I quit. [07:24] sauvin: kde4 or 3.5-ish? [07:24] 3.5.9, I believe. [07:24] my psychic powers are waning as the night drags on [07:24] i exclusively use nvidia for that reason [07:24] I dunno, I still can't get Flash Audio to work correctly [07:25] RAdams, thanks. I'll check that as well. the other link didn't help. I have jre 1.6 installed for 64bits. But I am missing the plugin [07:25] RAdams, did you try under wine? [07:25] aubuntuguy: yes. it's fun! keep a soft wall handy [07:25] wine-doors has an installer for shockwave... dunno which version though [07:25] ;-) [07:25] never touched wine-doors [07:26] wine-doors? [07:26] you can install shockwave/flash through synaptic [07:26] yeah a "frontend" for wine [07:26] !info wine_doors [07:26] Package wine_doors does not exist in hardy [07:26] umm.. [07:26] ohh, I just saw that, not flash ;P [07:26] is there any newsgroup readers I can use apt-get to install [07:26] !info wine-doors [07:26] Package wine-doors does not exist in hardy [07:26] !info wine-doors [07:26] to work with usenext [07:26] !info winedoors [07:26] Package winedoors does not exist in hardy [07:26] !info usenext [07:26] Package usenext does not exist in hardy [07:27] I'm trying to extract a flv from a swf. The swf is online and takes url arguments (key/data pair after the question mark in the url). If I load this swf in firefox it will play and will create a file in /tmp for the flash video. How can I get this video data without having to load firefox? [07:28] RAdams: well i m not sure how to use BT. i opened this: http://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/1884845/Big-Brother-UK-S09-Advert-09-Days-20080527-XviD-PDTV-ramp and download to Desktop, but can not play this video [07:28] where the !#@$@#% do you suppose my title bars went!? [07:28] sauvin: what happens when you sudo killall kwin && kwin? === Alvin_FN is now known as cew_ckul [07:28] kwin: no process killed. [07:29] pitsN: is it done downloading? what bittorrent client are you using? what version of ubuntu are you using? [07:29] RAdams: 8.04, i did not install any bt client [07:29] !#@$%@#%@$ RAdams, you FOUND it. [07:29] sauvin: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:29] haha. [07:29] cram it robot [07:29] What the !@#$!%@#$ happened to kwin!? [07:30] sauvin: that would be a problem, yes -.- [07:30] how do i share the internet connection on a usb gprs modem over the internet? [07:30] RAdams: well by default 8.04, there is one: ubuntu icon>internet > BT download client -- not sure what is that for ? [07:30] Well, not so much, since google told me how to move my windows around, but... geez. [07:30] * sauvin does an apt-get kubuntu-desktop [07:31] pitsN: Try transmission bittorrent client. You'll be happier and saner. [07:31] hi everybody [07:31] i need help please === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [07:31] using ubuntu 8.04 [07:31] hmmm, I can't get shockwave 11 to work [07:31] sauvin: sudo apt get install kubuntu-desktop :) hehe, just correcting it before you go "huh?" [07:31] cannot set up a mic [07:31] !enter | progreSSive [07:31] progreSSive: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:32] and when i open the sound recorder, it says "your audio capture settings are invalid. please correct them in the multimedia settings" [07:32] sorry :) [07:32] alan_m, whatever I did, right or wrong, it sure initiated a spate of downloads. Correct me all you want, I'm certainly no expert! [07:32] Hey, I wonder if an older version will work [07:32] sauvin: if you get time, post your saga to the ubuntu forums as [SOLVED], to help future generation of kwin-less lads. [07:32] what's the command to list all partitions? fdisk -l ? [07:32] RAdams, thanks a bundle. That was really frustrating, and yes, I believe I'll do precisely that. [07:32] afallenhope: man fdisk [07:33] afallenhope, sudo fdisk -l [07:33] how do i list all partitions on my system? [07:33] sauvin: np. enjoy your fancy windows-resizing [07:33] sauvin: heh, im just correcting so others can benefit in here :) [07:33] RAdams: how about you don't rtfm me please. it's quite rude [07:33] seaphor: also man fdisk [07:33] alan_m, this is precisely the point :D [07:33] How do I prevent evdev from unloading? if I unplug my mouse, evdev will unload [07:33] afallenhope: no, no it isnt. [07:33] 'q [07:33] people, help me out, please, cannot set up a mic, and when i open the sound recorder, it says "your audio capture settings are invalid. please correct them in the multimedia settings" [07:33] morning progreSSive [07:33] gnite, all [07:33] :D [07:34] RAdams: yeah it is. [07:34] progreSSive: please have a little patience with us, as you can see its a huge busy channel, thank you :) [07:34] As for "enjoying the fancy resizing", I think you'd agree that the inability to resize some windows would be seen as a pretty major detriment to a graphical desktop environment. [07:34] knightwise: good day :) [07:34] i wish the kubuntu channel was this pumping! imagine how fast kde4 would be developed [07:34] sauvin: ask Windows versions 1 to 3.11 [07:35] sigma_: no faster at all. :) [07:35] I never saw Windows before 3.0 live, and have never seen unresizable windows except for modal advisories. [07:36] sauvin: windows as it was originally demo'd did not have resizable windows for most things. those that could resize weren't able to overlap anything else [07:36] lol [07:36] can someone say something to me... i'm testing my irssi colours [07:36] nibblecat, no [07:36] shh nobody type anything [07:37] darth: thanks [07:37] ;) [07:37] RAdams, that wasn't true in 3.0 on upwards. I can't speak for Windows < 3.0. [07:37] RAdams, as far as I read till now it seems the best way is to install the 32bit sun-java-plugin version. Do I need to install a 32bit firefox as well instead of the actual 64bit installed by default? [07:37] whats the name of the bot channel? [07:37] I found an older version of Shockwave 10.2 to download and I installed it under wine. Ran my windows firefox and it works. I am playing a shockwave game under ubuntu. Cool oh. It is working ;-) [07:37] RAdams: but ubuntu has so many more devs, i just hate gnome personally. its so old - will someone ever update it [07:37] aubuntuguy: nice [07:37] RAdams, and another question, how do I get the 32bit repositories on my synaptic? [07:38] mecha: #ubuntu-bots [07:38] mecha: try #ubuntu-bots [07:38] ty [07:38] haha [07:38] np [07:38] sigma_: the kubuntu team does not dev kde. [07:38] RAdams, I see you are busy with other matters [07:38] I think that is the problem adobes latest release of shockwave doesn't work under wine. But the older shockwave versions do [07:38] RAdams: Riddell does and a few other guys [07:38] does emeral themer still work with 8.04? [07:38] emerald* [07:39] Can someone help me to get compiz working? If i try to enable it, it fails [07:39] K^Holtz: what video card do you have? [07:39] K^Holtz: sure your video card is compatible? [07:39] cedriczg: there's a wrapper for it. I don't remember what it's called. Google around. something like 64 bit ubuntu java wrapper. it's been awhile, and also I'm tired and cranky now. bedtime! [07:39] can anyone let me know how I can specify the ">" character as a delimiter using cut? I've tried cut -d ">" and cut -d '>' and cut -d `>` with no success [07:40] take care all [07:40] K^Holtz, what video card u have and are the restricted drivers enabled? [07:40] zcat[1]: can you tell me a command to check that? [07:40] and sigma_: i just meant they're downstream from kde. I realize there are some people who are on both teams :) [07:40] Redcap, have you tried backwhacking? \> [07:40] night boys and girls. don't forget to RTFM! [07:40] RAdams, good night then. Thanks for your help [07:40] sauvin, yeah, that too, no dice [07:40] zcat@mandela:~$ echo "foo>bar" | cut -f1 -d\> [07:40] foo [07:41] did you go to system > preferences > appearence ? [07:41] cat countrylistfrag.txt | cut -d\> - still doesn't like me unless I need to do something else there [07:41] try -d\> rather than -d \> [07:41] K^Holtz, did you go to system > preferences > appearence ? [07:41] cedriczg: yea, thats where it fails [07:41] i think my video card is:ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 16 MB video DDR SDRAM [07:41] there are not restricted drivers that come up for it [07:42] I see you finally installed ubuntu [07:42] K^Holtz, are you the only user on the system? [07:42] what themer works best in 8.04? [07:42] anyone [07:42] redcap: you are telling it which part you want also? (-f1 or whatever) [07:42] mecha, themer? [07:42] mecha, check out gnome-look.org [07:42] cedriczg: yes [07:43] HardDisk, i had emerald but when i upgraded to 8.04 it stopped working [07:43] zcat[1], sec, not sure what you mean (about to refer to the man page :) [07:43] mecha, it's just a setting issue, emerald wouldn't just stop working. [07:44] redcap: -d is just the delimiter.. you also need to tell it what field eg -f1 everything before the first '>' [07:44] mecha, check your compiz settings and syntax. [07:44] HardDisk, ic [07:44] hi all. I'm searching for a paneled file explorer with easy access to floppy and samba shares(needed for fast copying from one to another). Any suggestions appreciated [07:44] hi guys is compiz fusion and beryl the same [07:44] i am confused by what i see on youtube [07:44] Ganandorf there is no more beryl [07:44] zcat[1], that was it, needed -f2 [07:44] Ganandorf, compiz fusion is a combination of compiz and beryl [07:44] cedriczg: should my video card be able to handle the animations? [07:44] o [07:44] Anyone here use freepbx [07:44] ok cool [07:44] !compiz-fusion | Ganandorf [07:44] Ganandorf: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [07:45] how do I know which partition has the /home on it? [07:45] K^Holtz, still having issues installing ubuntu? [07:45] Ganandorf: compiz came first .. some developers thought it wasn't exciting enough and started a fork called beryl.. later they merged all the work together and this is what we have now, called compiz-fusion [07:45] afallenhope, sudo fdisk -l [07:45] I just did a default install.. I'm trying to put /home on a new parition. [07:45] HardDisk: nah, got the install down, now its just all the getting everything working correctly, codecs and whatnot [07:46] afallenhope, there's a guide to show you how to do that [07:46] can someone tell me how to download Transmission 1.2 if synaptic only offers me 1.06? [07:46] please [07:46] I thought my laptop wold be able to handle compiz no problem, but its not enabling for me :( [07:46] beryl looks pretty sleek on its own though [07:46] seagull_man, did you check the transmission website? [07:46] HardDisk: I know.. I'm following it.. [07:46] i have compiz fusion but i don't know where to get instructions to use it [07:47] Ganandorf: compiz-fusion has basically all the stuff that was in beryl .. [07:47] Ganandorf: install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:47] yeah i got that already [07:47] K^Holtz, www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron [07:47] whoa [07:47] K^Holtz, also go to www.medibuntu.org [07:48] Ganandorf: well, it kinda explains the options .. just play around with them until you have something you like [07:48] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu http://www.ubuntuhq.com/ http://www.ubuntux.org/ http://www.osalt.com/ http://tombuntu.com/ http://www.ubufied.com/ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/ http://ubuntuos.com/ http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/ [07:48] K^Holtz, !ubuntulinks [07:48] ok cool [07:48] these are some websites to help you folks out as well [07:48] lots of guides in them [07:49] found a site [07:49] HardDisk: yea, ive actually gone through a couple of those already on my own [07:49] K^Holtz, good :) [07:49] ill def check out some of those others tho [07:49] Oh, so Medibuntu isn't a HTPC-oriented Ubuntu version? :( [07:49] found a site http://www.compiz-fusion.org/ [07:49] K^Holtz, self learning is always a good thing. [07:49] K^Holtz: Also, search for ubuntu guide [07:49] LSD|Ninja, no but mythbuntu is [07:50] agreed, i used to use Red hat wayyy back in the day, and i never read so much in my life [07:50] K^Holtz, sorry didn't see your message before. You should check if you have the appropiate drivers for your card. what have you found do far? [07:50] Ketsueki: im very disappointed with ubuntuguide for this release, i dont feel like its put together very well [07:50] K^Holtz, don't forget RH is an enterprise distro, whereas even though there is an ubuntu server edition, mainly ubuntu is a desktop replacement..so requirements are different. [07:50] K^Holtz: Yeah, I feel they froze it like one or two months too early. [07:50] RAdams went away/ [07:50] K^Holtz, because they already went through the ubuntuguide for gutsy. [07:51] cedriczg: i thought that if there were any drivers for my video card they would show up in the Restricted Drivers dialogue? [07:51] is there a way to customize my gnome desktops so that I have different backgrounds on them different app menus etc say like a work desktop and a play one? [07:51] K^Holtz: I'm looking forward to 8.10, I think it'll be much better. [07:51] Dave123, you want different wallpapers on each workspace you mean? [07:51] Ketsueki: yea, i guess im not a fan of the LTS versions [07:51] HardDisk: I'm using http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:51] hey, how to add my data partition to _places_ in xubuntu ? [07:51] afallenhope, that's fine [07:52] K^Holtz: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installation_of_ATI_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers << if you have kubuntu, there's a different guide [07:52] and for those users that missed it because of the netsplit. [07:52] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu http://www.ubuntuhq.com/ http://www.ubuntux.org/ http://www.osalt.com/ http://tombuntu.com/ http://www.ubufied.com/ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/ http://ubuntuos.com/ http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/ [07:52] !ubuntulinks [07:52] Factoid ubuntulinks not found [07:52] Is there any way to convert soundfont files(.sf2) in to GUS compatible patches? [07:53] ok I have to go to work, its 10am, see you later. [07:53] K^Howoltz, as far as I know sometimes you have to use some compatible driver you find that works well with some graphical video card. The other question is if you are sure your card would support such graphical effects compiz gives [07:53] HardDisk: I wonder why ubuntuguide isn't part of !ubuntulinks [07:53] !ubuntulinks [07:53] Factoid ubuntulinks not found [07:53] Ketsueki, that's my trigger :) [07:53] HardDisk: I missed dave123's comments but it seems I have a similar question and yes I would like to know how to do that [07:53] Ketsueki: Because ubuntu guide has at times provided unsafe or bad information. [07:54] Ketsueki: should i download the envyNG package since System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers shows up nothing [07:54] sorry I must go to work. [07:54] have fun. [07:54] Flannel: I've more often found Unsafe/Bad (outdated) info on ubuntu.com (usually in the community docs section, which is REALLY BAD about not slotting solutions to ubuntu versions) [07:55] cedriczg: i guess im not postive my video card could handle the graphics [07:56] K^Holtz, then that might be the issue. Could you get the normal visual effects? [07:56] K^Holtz: You said it was a 7xxx series Nvidia, right? [07:57] Ketsueki: no, its an ATI.. let me see what i said [07:57] How do I enable compiz on Xubuntu 8.04? [07:57] cedriczg: what are the normal effects? [07:57] !compiz | dasukips [07:57] dasukips: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [07:57] Ketsueki: i said ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 16 MB video DDR SDRAM [07:57] Thanks. [07:58] dasukips, in ubuntu I just did applications > add/remove and looked for compiz [07:58] K^Holtz: Holy crap? Wow. Er, I'd not reccomend running compiz or anything like it on that. I must have been thining of someone else earlier. [07:59] K^Holtz, I mean under system > preferences > appearence > visual effects [07:59] K^Holtz: Be happy with 2d support, and that sounds like it might be old enough to be potentially better supported by the reverse-engineered drivers. [07:59] K^Holtz, do an lspci | grep -i radeon and see if you can identify the graphics card from that output. [07:59] Ketsueki: that may be wrong, this is a fairly new (4 yrs old) sony vaio laptop [07:59] sauvin: If it's really the card K^Holtz just quoted a fwe lines ago to me... then it sounds too old to hope to support it. [08:00] K^Holtz: That probably IS wrong then. I don't think even a very crappy laptop form 4 years ago would have THAT little. [08:00] Ketsueki, maybe, but we don't have an exact ID. [08:00] <_Net> How can I make ubuntu look for libs in a folder in my desktop /home/user/desktop? [08:00] K^Holtz: the lscpi -v << should give you something like... [08:00] <_Net> I heard something to do with export [08:00] I need some help enabling hardware acceleration in ubuntu for my geforce 9600 gt, how do I enable hardware acceleration so I can use desktop effects? [08:00] VGA compatible controller: ATI Techologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [08:01] K^Holtz: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M G (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 0126 [08:01] K^Holtz: You'll want to know that device number on the left... [08:01] Hello to all [08:01] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Techologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [08:01] !nvidia | Zeker [08:01] hello carolus [08:01] Zeker: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:01] K^Holtz: that card has never been and will never be supported by the proprietary ATI driver [08:02] K^Holtz: but it is fully supported by the driver that is included with ubuntu [08:02] K^Holtz: Then do, in my case, lspci -vn -s 02:00.0 [08:02] crdlb: it was supported. once upon a time. now it's "radeon" only of course [08:02] K^Holtz: That will give you the PCI ID major:minor numbers. [08:02] wols_: nope, fglrx only ever supported r200 and up [08:02] dodok [08:02] that's an r100 [08:03] crdlb: so where does that leave me? [08:03] (and now it's only supports r300 and up) [08:03] <_Net> What does LD_LIBRARY_PATH do? [08:03] K^Holtz: your problem is just that ubuntu has blacklisted compiz on all laptops using the radeon driver [08:03] K^Holtz: bypassing the blacklist is easy, but please join #compiz-fusion for specifics [08:03] crdlb: ick... K^Holtz You need to use the 'ati' driver IIRC, which will provide the best support it can... however from what the others have said the card is, I Seriously Doubt you'll have a quality experience with it. [08:03] crdlb: im actually in there just trying to think what to ask [08:04] * sauvin bought this particular laptop for one of the major reasons of it having an nvidia [08:04] _Net: it looks for a library in that path first before it looks in the other, usual places [08:04] can ubuntu play wma music files if so what codecs is needed [08:05] <_Net> Oh how can I make it look in this path: /home//Desktop//bin because I have some .so I need it to read for me [08:05] how do i know what version of screenlets ubuntu will install using apt-get? [08:06] <_Net> Is there a ubuntu application that will allow me to put values to LD_Library_path [08:06] Gananadorf, can you supply an example of wam music? [08:06] wma, even? [08:07] Ganandorf: I take it you are trying to play DRM-free wma's right? [08:07] I installed Compiz on Xubuntu, but the settings manager appears to be empty. What's the problem? [08:08] Guest41844: install ubuntu-restricted-extras, that should get you going [08:08] not sure about the drm part but wma [08:08] my music that i ripped using windows media player [08:08] _Net: why do you need an app to set a environment variable? your keyboard broken? [08:08] Ganandorf: DRMed WMA's, there is no help. Nothing can save you. Anything to unlock them does so inside of where-ever they already play to get the right tool for the job to unlock it, and provide you a version that is no longer locked, but some means (I've no idea on the specifics.) [08:08] Ganandorf: see LSD|Ninja's response. [08:09] Ganandorf: Such music MAY have been fingerprinted to that install of windows. You might need to re-rip, or unlock within that install of windows. [08:09] You will not be able to play the music if you had the "protect music" option on. [08:09] <_Net> wosl_: No, im trying to install byond, this MUD gaming thing and host it from my ubuntu [08:09] Ganandorf, if you ripped it, you have it on your computer, yes? If you can bring it over to linux, you can use extract or other commands to find out what codecs the file might require. [08:09] I always make sure I uncheck that. Otherwise, ripped music will not play on another computer. [08:09] linux tells me there is no codec for that file format [08:09] <_Net> wols_: In one of the instructions it says to make sure to tell your operating system to read lib files from /byond/bin/ [08:09] Chances are that may be the issue you are having. [08:10] Did you try to install the restricted extras? [08:10] HI I'm using the restricted ATI driver with a dual screen, how to I change my default monitor? [08:10] yay those are installed already [08:10] _Net: then set it === max557 is now known as max` [08:10] StevenX: Just use the switch -s with apt-get to simulate and not actually install. It will give you the app version in the output. [08:10] *"big desktop" [08:11] If you can get back into Windows, right-click on a WMA file and check the protection tab. [08:11] <_Net> wols_: I dont exactly know its command. I know it has something to do with LD_Library_path but how would I use it? [08:11] Guest41844: what exactly do you have to uncheck when ripping music using windows media player so that it plays on another system i deleted a bunch of music cause they would not play [08:11] I mean right-click, click on properties and check the protection tab. [08:11] oo protection tab [08:11] i see [08:11] i deleted a bunch of stuff [08:11] by maing sure the environment variable of that name is set before you launch the MUD client [08:11] you would not believe [08:12] * sauvin once deleted / by accident [08:12] any suggestion.. for flash? its there any good application for linux ubuntu..i want something like flash mx or swish.. ??? [08:12] I'm having a problem installing the nvidia drivers for ubuntu. When I run the *.run install file, it gives me this error: [08:12] You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [08:12] installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING [08:12] THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver [08:12] download page at www.nvidia.com.

[08:14] wols, where can I find these? I've already installed the binary x.org driver from the add/remove applications program, but I still can't enable desktop effects :( [08:14] That's fine, because if you had that checked, all those files were useless anyway. [08:14] Ganandorf: hope you learned never to use such proprietary formats again. next time use CDex or another LAME based mp3 encode [08:14] Too bad you didn't know *before* you started ripping music. [08:14] JbCrash, what are you looking for that the Adobe flash player won't do for you? [08:14] but wma will not play on linux other wise [08:14] oops. Jus one question while updating the kernel. It got to a question on what to do and I choosed to run a terminal to examine the situation and now the installation process got hung up. What should I do from now on? Can I install it again from zero in an easy way? [08:14] I've installed compiz, and enabled effects. They dont seem to be switched on though. What d I do? =/ [08:14] Zeker: glxinfo | grep direct [08:14] i did [08:15] Let me check . . . [08:15] cedriczg: yes [08:15] sauvin: not player..i need application to design develop flash movies.. like flash mx or swishmax [08:15] wols_, may I ask which is the better way to reinstall? [08:15] JbCrash, I didn't understand that, and I apologise. [08:16] sauvin: ohh..chill bro [08:16] wols_, now I would even need to kill the update manager [08:16] wols_: http://pastebin.com/d49d3479c [08:16] cedriczg: since you didn't tell what the ways are, how can I say which one is better? [08:16] * sauvin is chilling to some iced loca mocha === Sp4rKy_ is now known as Sp4rKy [08:16] Zeker: dpkg -l |grep nvidia [08:17] is there a default place in ubuntu to put java extensions ? [08:17] wols_, command line, try to use update manager again. [08:17] cedriczg: use apt-get on a terminal [08:17] The edgy has been expired, and how can I mirror the edgy repos to my own server? [08:17] evening ubunteers [08:18] wols_: http://pastebin.com/d71274505 [08:18] Edgy is 'expired'? [08:18] !edgy [08:18] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu.

[08:19] Haha [08:19] wols_, thank you [08:19] Of all the things I've tried to play recently, the only things that've disappointed me on the debian machine are Blue Ray disc captures; they use a WMV codec that isn't available for linux yet. [08:19] Thanks Ketsueki [08:19] Guest41844: No problem... it was a good guess on my part [08:19] cedriczg: you will have to remove the botched install or finish it with apt-get install -f first [08:19] wols_: http://pastebin.com/d71274505 [08:20] It's actually for Ganandorf. He is trying to play wma's on his install. [08:20] Works in mine just fine. [08:20] Zeker: what nvidia card? [08:20] if I'm in #ubuntu and #windows, does that make me bi? [08:20] How am I meant to remove a users' "primary group"? [08:20] wols_: it seems that the edgy repos has been removed from the official and other mirror site [08:20] wols_ it's a 9600 gt [08:20] RoadHazard: do you have a ubuntu support related question? [08:20] !offtopic | RoadHazard [08:20] RoadHazard: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:20] i'm on ubluntu! [08:20] no, sorry, only answers tonight [08:20] wols_, I also had other packages being installed. How shoud I check for other botched installs? [08:20] GTG [08:20] Zeker: then your current driver is utterly wrong. 96.xx is too old while you had the newer one installed before [08:21] OOHBLUNTOOH [08:21] cedriczg: you don't need to [08:21] wols_ oh crap! Is there a wy to revert? [08:21] What command could be ran to tell the computer to go to sleep? (I want to use at to do this, so it needs to be an executable) [08:21] Zeker: uninstall the current one and install the proper one [08:21] wols_, apt-get install -f command will just finish the installation? [08:21] yes. usually [08:22] wols_: do I use the add/remove programs to do that? [08:22] How do I update the flash plugin to a newest version, do I need to remove it and reinstall again? [08:22] wols_: the day before, I wanna apt-get update the edgy, the 404 error returned to me [08:22] In-Sane``: no [08:22] nicle_yang: you cannot update edgy anymore since there are no more updates. ever [08:23] wols_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [08:23] nicle_yang: but the longer you wait, the more security holes there will be in edgy. so please upgrade to a supported ubuntu version (LTS maybe) [08:23] wols_: No edgy can be found in the dists directory [08:23] wols_: hmmz, no? [08:23] In-Sane``: easy to understand word "no", right? [08:23] wols_: I am using the edgy server edition [08:24] What is the best way to install compiz? Is it sudo apt-get install compiz? [08:24] wols_: no ;) [08:24] wols_: and I am afraid the upgrading will crash my server [08:24] nicle_yang: that's nice but irrelevant [08:24] wols—— [08:24] ESPECIALLY on a server you need to upgrade. cause when a script kiddie has hacked it you WILL upgrade it. just with more work involved for you [08:25] wols_: my desktop has been the latest version :) [08:25] nicle_yang: if you don't like what I say: solve your own problems. there are people who actually accept the help [08:25] nicle_yang: please stop talking to me [08:25] how will i determine my kernel version? [08:25] wols_: i installed the "new" version of the drivers from add/remove programs. Is this right now? [08:25] gooody: uname -a [08:25] Zeker: depends what glxinfo now says. you also need to restart X [08:26] oh ok [08:26] brb then [08:26] wols_, I tried so and I got this message: [08:26] !paste | cedriczg [08:26] cedriczg: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:30] nickrud: thanks [08:30] In-Sane``: I already told you [08:30] Ganadorf: sorry just stepped out for a sec. [08:30] Hi, I am following this tutorial : http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/update_clients/setting_up_linux_update_client.html but when I tried : echo '/usr/local/bin/noip2' >> /etc/rc.local I got Permission denied .. any way I can go around it please? [08:30] I am back. [08:30] Any idea Sauvin? [08:30] wols_: I boot up just fine .. but I can't boot into the xsession I get somehting about chmoding something to 644 or [08:31] how can i remove some entry in my grub boot loader? [08:31] cedriczg you have two apt processes running, probably synaptic or update-manager open [08:31] wols_: http://images.funadvice.com/photo/image/old/45730/WhosAwesome.jpg [08:31] wols_, how can I get all the pid that were using the update manager? I need to kill them so I can run the command you told me [08:31] Kohlrak, I didn't see you saying what the .so is. [08:31] it worked :) [08:31] nickrud: that 's just what I need [08:31] Yancho: to write to rc.local you need to run the script or whatever as root [08:31] wols_: yes, but you told just *no* :) [08:31] !who [08:31] As you can see, this is a large channel.

[08:34] It doesn't install anything [08:34] http://pastebin.com/d53b1bf that's my fstab [08:34] nickrud, thanks killing synaptics did the job. Strange that I had update manager open instead. [08:34] nickrud: then obviosuly his lock problem doesn't exist. good for him [08:34] afallenhope: I asked you something [08:34] alright, i tried using idapro, but i coudln't find exactly what i was looking for in there [08:34] wols_: I ansswered you,. iit had to do with chmod [08:35] Kohlrak: why did you? to use IDA you better know assembly or that time is wasted [08:35] wols_: $HOME had to be chmod 644 or something remotely close [08:35] I do know assembly.. It's why i need the source of teh .so (to find out how to use this one syscall) [08:35] afallenhope: ls -al /home [08:35] wols_: I'm on my live CD now [08:36] what's the syscall?

I seach up libc6 in synaptics but sources isn't in there that i can see [08:41] also depending WHAT you installed it might replace the old kernel of a similar version [08:41] does anybody know how i can setup my printer not to print on the side of a paper (lexmark z705) [08:41] Kohlrak: that's BS [08:41] look yourself [08:41] HardDisk, how do i save again [08:41] Kohlrak: man apt-get [08:41] hi everybody. I have to set-up a Xen system (in amd64 bit env) that will have a quite empty Dom-0 and four/five Dom-Us, with different oses. I'm uncertain if I should be using a Debian etch Dom-0 (with xen 3.0.3) or a Hardy one (with Xen 3.2.1). What do you suggest? [08:41] HardDisk, i didnt understand [08:41] Kohlrak: if it weren't ther, Ubuntu would violate the GPL. in a BIG way [08:41] cedriczg if you look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove, you'll see why it's not removed [08:41] wols_, ok, so after it works how do I unsintall the previous kernel? I have by now almost four available [08:42] stefano: you know in what channel you ask [08:42] abdulla, when you save just double check if you're saving as an odf file, then open it in openoffice in ubuntu it will open normally [08:42] wols_, it's surely out there... Just not in synaptics XD [08:42] cedriczg: if you want to, sure [08:42] abdulla, regardless of language. [08:42] nickrud, nice new learnt tip [08:42] Kohlrak: you are mistaken again. tho synaptic could be a bad tool of course. entirely possible [08:42] cedriczg that dir is good reading [08:43] HardDisk, so i save the file as odf not .doc [08:43] wols_: they don't answer in #xen so I'm asking here. i've performed some tests with xen and hardy and it goes but xen-tools still have to be fixed to provide fully working Domu-s. The question is: is xen 3.2.1 and hardy reliable enough to be used in production? [08:43] My friend was asking if he should switch to Fedora 9 or wait for OpenSUSE 11 for his home computer, any suggestions? [08:43] abdulla, that's the format we should be using :) [08:43] Hi all. Is it send mail from console using evolution client by specifying files to attach as parameters? Something similar to what nautilus does. [08:43] stefano: I wouldn't base that decision what a few yahoos in #ubuntu told me. but that's just me [08:43] Sid, try them all [08:43] HardDisk, this format will word on windows? [08:43] *possible* [08:43] wols_, please be nicer. [08:44] nickrud, ok, so the most sensitive would be to edit the menu.lst and leave the kernel? What do you usuallly do after you are sure the actual kernel works? [08:44] wols_: sure I won't, but any good opinion is always appreciated :-) [08:44] cedriczg I fire up synaptic and remove all but the last two kernels [08:44] abdulla, use odf, that's the standard for openoffice. [08:44] is it safe to remove kernels from synaptic? [08:44] gooody, old ones yes. [08:44] HardDisk, but i want to open it on windows [08:44] HardDisk: What if he was stuck on an island with only one writable CD and both the ISOs? [08:44] gooody absolutely. Just keep the last two [08:44] gooody, dont remove the current one [08:44] abdulla, then use openoffice in windows [08:44] gooody: yeah, only remove the ones you're not using [08:44] thanks guys [08:44] stefano: good luck getting one about this topic here. what people using Xen told me, one wants the latest and greatest Xen (mostly). maybe not bleeding edge but fairly close [08:44] Sid, use a vm environment [08:45] i have created a short script to run a program in a dedicated x server - could some one take a look at it and tweak it to work please under ubuntu please? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19568/ [08:45] gooody: removing the one you are using probably will just result in an error [08:45] wols_, seems that it may not be an option in synaptic, but it appears that i was never introduced to "apt-get source x" [08:45] HardDisk, the problem is that i want to send this file to someone [08:45] i thank you [08:45] Kohlrak: I just did above: man apt-gte [08:45] that is, until then =p [08:45] abdulla, give them the link to openoffice and/or there is a plugin for MSOffice to open odf files. [08:45] wols_: ok, thank you! [08:45] nickrud, thanks for the tip. And just to aware any other user. While trying to "run a new terminal" as option while installing the kernel, didn't work for me [08:45] Kohlrak and apt-get build-dep , for the depends for that source [08:46] HardDisk, isn't there another way [08:46] abdulla, or save it as a xp .doc in openoffice [08:46] ah, thanks for the heads up nickrud [08:46] hi i am downloadind ubuntu 8.04 with torrent but from yesterday it does not download, what's wrong [08:46] Needs moar seeds. [08:46] HardDisk, xp.doc ?? [08:46] djgizmo1, check your ports, router [08:46] why am i in here? [08:46] abdulla, save it in XP .doc format [08:46] did I ask it to join me to this - no [08:46] did I want it to join me to this - no [08:47] i guess i gotta get out - ys [08:47] LW so part.

[08:48] LW welcome then [08:48] djouallah: if it doesnt work, you can still try a direct download [08:48] LW, then there was no need for that intro if it was accidental. [08:48] thankin you. Sorry HardDisk [08:48] I didnt get much sleep, a bit randomised. [08:48] np [08:48] HardDisk, thnxs i will try it now, hope it works :) [08:48] abdulla, it does work, you just need to make sure you do it right :) [08:48] abdulla, if you get the .doc back the person may have saved it as a 2007 format [08:49] blumm, hehehe u will not believe it was stoped since 15 hours and right now it works, i thought u scared her [08:49] djouallah: :) [08:49] abdulla, in order to open 2007 MS office files you need to install the odf plugin for openoffice to open 2007 docs [08:49] hmm. :S [08:49] LW, I understand I haven't slept in 32 hours and I'm tunnel ircing from work [08:49] wow xchat is different from what I'm used to - how do I see the list of who's in here . . .

[08:51] * nickrud goes to bed, refuses to stay awake 32 hours any more [08:51] hehe sorry..about that one [08:51] HardDisk: Probably. [08:51] nickrud, I'm at work :/ [08:51] maybe I'll sneak a nap in an hour [08:52] HardDisk, should i save it as Microsoft word 2003 xml [08:52] abdulla, no.

So I know it works fine.

[09:48] ActionParsnip, Parker1: and then "sudo do-release-upgrade [09:48] k i found it [09:49] _empemp_: you got the latest updates? [09:49] Myrtti, do you have that command to copy it over? [09:49] <_empemp_> ActionParsnip: Yes [09:49] hi guys.. I'm having a strange problem again whereby my Firefox browser crashes a lot (shuts down) just from clicking on certain links on websites! I think it's possibly flash related, as it happens on flash enabled websites. I recently did an upgrade and also install some flash plugin support (using ubuntu packages). any suggestions? [09:49] Mrrtti: I am upgrading from Dapper actually and I already have the update manager core [09:49] spaisezro: which command [09:50] _empemp_: im not too good with samba as I run a 100% linux network [09:50] perlmonkey: have you disabled all addons and tried again? [09:50] _empemp_: im sure someone else will be able toadvise though [09:50] Parker1: check that you've got dapper-updates -repository enabled first [09:50] Myrtti, to copy my .conkyrc to cd ~/; ls-a [09:50] I've got them all enababled [09:50] spaisezro: no? [09:51] Else I would have already gotten error considering the installer in running right now [09:51] hi all, anyone using thunderbird?

[10:48] bigdaddy0522: google for linux on a pendrive [10:49] i have [10:49] zvacet my problem is that when I load windows from GRUB, and then restart to get back to linux, GRUB doesn't start. [10:49] bigdaddy0522: whuts da prob? [10:49] and it doesnt work that well for me remote. [10:49] how do you set the permissions back to default? [10:49] and I end up having to load from the live cd and use gparted to reset the linux partition to boot [10:49] tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19594/ [10:49] remote i did the DSL distro did it just as they typed and my laptop wouldnt recognize it... turned on boot to removable media and evertyhing. [10:49] bigdaddy0522: what ya mean by remote? pluging in a pendrive remote is always a problem, yeah... [10:50] anyone good at getting dual screen setups using ati radeon card? I've read tutorial after tutorial but just can't get it to work [10:50] ah rofl kk [10:50] it just automatically boots windows [10:50] erik__ . but if you try to boot ubuntu first is everything O.K [10:50] remotectrl... i was shorthanding your name thts all [10:50] bigdaddy0522: you need to have boot from usb explicitly in the bios [10:50] NewfieLinux :http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing [10:50] bigdaddy0522: yeah i misunderstood hehehehe [10:50] remotectrl yeah i dont think my laptop has that.. i looked. [10:50] Yeah, pretty much. When I boot into ubuntu I'm fine if I reboot GRUB pops up and asks what to boot. [10:51] gooody: did u hit play before u paste it? [10:51] bigdaddy0522: in that case booting from a pendrive will of course not work that well... [10:51] tech0007: no. [10:51] remoteCTRL i looked under removable media and HD [10:51] If it helps I installed XP after installing ubuntu [10:51] which I now know I did backwards [10:51] gooody: hit play and repaste...did u see any errors? [10:51] poop ill just have to buy some CD's tomorrow.. i didnt wanna spend money lol [10:51] thanks guys [10:51] bigdaddy0522: a pendrive is not precisely a remogvable media that is more like cd, dvd and so on... [10:52] Does anyoone know how to get my permissions back to normal (default)? [10:52] does anyone know if vnc transports sound? [10:52] erik__ : I mean if you select ubuntu from grub can you boot ubuntu without live cd [10:52] yes [10:52] how can i download a complete (small) website? [10:52] remoteCTRL yeah i know i was just hoping for the best...but was prepared for the worst...do you know anything about knoppix, right nwo im using hardy ub. [10:52] "sudo chown bebobli /media/disk/" I didn't do this right I'm sure [10:53] i have a 64-bit processor, would hardy run faster if i install the 64 bit version? [10:53] remoteCTRL are they similar at all being as they both debian? [10:53] remoteCTRL: VNC will not transfer sound. You'll need something else to do that. What was it... NAS or something? [10:53] tech0007: the playlist is empty. [10:53] bigdaddy0522: not much, only that it works quite well, and btw you can of course use a ubuntu cd as live cd also if you dindt download the alternate cd... [10:53] hi i have a little question for anyone [10:53] remoteCTRL: VNC is purely, and simply, about transfering the video and 'standard controls' (mouse/keyboard) [10:53] erik__ : so problem is when you boot win and after that you want to boot ubuntu (after restart) [10:54] Ketsueki: is that an alternative product to vnc or is that an "addon"? [10:54] if I knew more on how to use VMware, I'd just use gparted to kill the xp part and work from there, but I haven't been able to find any tutorials on that that I can understand [10:54] i just installed ubuntu gutsy and i have tried to update the java platform but isn working [10:54] BeBoBli: 'sudo chown -hR bebobli.users /media/disk' [10:54] gooody: select a song and hit play again [10:54] bigdaddy0522: yeah surely similar [10:54] Thank you very much [10:54] zvacet yep, when I boot windows it messes up grub somehow [10:54] I didn't know it was implied I was a part of a group... [10:54] remoteCTRL my laptop is fecal matter!!! hp nx9010 wont load ubuntu from cd..locks up after about 2 mins of cd spin then ...nothing. itll load fedora but fed dont have drivers for the propriatary wireless nic [10:54] tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19596/ [10:55] remoteCTRL: Nothing that I am aware of that specificaly targets integration with VNC, but you might be able to setup scripts that establish parallel connection of another service to add the other parts in the background. However I have no idea how to do that. [10:55] remoteCTRL and the bios wont let me boot from flash...wow this sucks cuz im out of cd's [10:55] bigdaddy0522: when the CD boots activate the check CD thing... I'm not sure what it's called EXACTLY, but just see if it can verify the disk. [10:55] bigdaddy0522 are you using wireless or wired nic? [10:55] erik__ : can you sudo fdisk -lu and gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and paste it [10:55] hello, i have problem with my sound. When i plug my headphones in to my laptop the sound does not stop [10:56] zvacet sure give me one second [10:56] erik_my lappy is both but i use the wireless due to the fact im 40-50 feet from the nearest router.

[11:11] afallenhope: which run command? [11:11] is the kernel 2.6.25 available ? [11:12] gribouille: I believe they back-port the patches, but do not back-port additional functionality...

[11:12] askvictor, gksudo is a graphical "temporarily give root power" command while gksu is a command that helps you graphically log in as another user [11:13] the details: http://pastebin.com/d329c3292 [11:13] Spaisezor, Everything depends on what you prefer, I myself have come to like pidgin [11:13] lejon: but given there is no root password, how does gksu elevate your privs?

[11:15] Spaisezor, I haven't checked :P but its in the official repos :P [11:15] lejon: I think gksu uses sudo if you don't specify a username... [11:15] gribouille: Dunno, haven't been game to try it yet :) [11:15] hello [11:15] lejon, ok cool ill see if i can find it [11:15] askvictor, I need the kernel for hardu [11:15] askvictor, I need the kernel for hardy [11:15] tech0007: did you see? http://pastebin.com/d329c3292 [11:15] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5583/ << 2.6.25 proposal [11:15] askvictor, I have no idea if gksu uses sudo if not name specified, but I know that su is used to log in as another user, usually the super-user(root) while sudo just temporarily gives you the oppertunity to execute a command as root [11:16] gribouille: That what that repo does (https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive in case you missed it while you left the room) [11:16] afallenhope: yup...'gconf-editor' [11:16] lejon, its available on KDE and gnome, so thats cool :D cheers for your help [11:16] Spaisezor, No problem, glad I could help :P [11:16] lejon: Thanks a lot, I'll try that now. [11:16] askvictor, sorry, I had a problem with my connection [11:16] deltaslaya, Be careful with menu.lst file and do not remove anything you dont know what it does, otherwise you might get problems booting again :P [11:17] how to open compiz fusion icon? My mem is so little i forget everything in three minutes [11:17] where do i set settings for aggressive notification [11:17] lejon: Yeah, knew that bit, but was curious why people were advocating gksu when su is more or less deprecated in favour of sudo... [11:17] JannoTT, either start it from the application menu (it will pop into the tray) or use the terminal, but I've forgotten the terminal command for the fusion icon [11:17] tech0007: how do I fix that? [11:17] askvictor, why does it say that linux - 2.6.26-1.2ubuntu2 is for Intrepid ? [11:18] lejon: I don't have a grub folder? It's called grub.d [11:18] oh. Thanks. [11:18] askvictor, I have no idea why people like gksu, its just graphical su and actually logs you in as root, not just temporarily like sudo does [11:18] And there it is under system tools [11:18] deltaslaya, try "whereis menu.lst" then [11:18] afallenhope: can u check if ~/.gconf/app/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-gnome-run exists? [11:18] deltaslaya, without the qoutes ofc, but that should tell you where it is [11:19] lejon: Anyway to make it pop up on system start? [11:19] tech0007: I just got: http://pastebin.com/d7ab87361 [11:19] lejon: Returns this: menu: /usr/lib/menu /usr/include/menu.h /usr/share/menu /usr/share/man/man3/menu.3menu.gz [11:19] Inki transmission] [11:19] gribouille: You can change the source.list to hardy instead, but the binaries seem to have disappeared (and it was still on 2.6.25 last time I looked - synaptic might be able to dig out older versions tho) [11:19] JannoTT, you have to find the terminal command for it and specify it in sessions as a startup service [11:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19608/ please how can i fix this [11:20] deltaslaya, Yeah I tested myself, brb and ill try to find mine ;) [11:20] okei [11:20] gribouille: Nope, seems only the sources for 2.6.26 are there :( [11:20] afallenhope: 'sudo chown -hR .users .gconf' [11:20] Hi all. Anyone has problem with GIF animation rendering? everytime my firefox displays a gif, Xorg always uses a lot of CPU. Is it a issue with compiz or firefox or xulrunner?

[11:23] Does anyone know anything about Elisa? I just installed it but It gives me no options to Configure it. [11:23] zvacet: i am behind a firewall and i have to test if it works [11:23] tech0007: "This key is not writeable. There is no schema. Keyowner none" [11:23] zvacet: azureus has an option to test the incoming ports [11:23] jahid: its downloading 26mb file [11:24] How do I install tcl/tk .. apt get is unable to find it. [11:24] lejon, thanks. So for all the old kernel versions do I just comment out the lines or can i delete them? [11:24] linny: you mean that your login screen can't display correct? [11:24] tech0007: eveything in there says it's unwriteable [11:24] lol [11:24] deltaslaya, well, I would advice against deleting them incase you might get problems with ur current kernel, but yes you can delete them [11:24] Does anyone Use Elisa at all? [11:25] cross seven yes my moniter says cannot display this mode [11:25] lejon: it's fusion-icon. :P Time to restart and check if it starts. Thanks :) [11:25] afallenhope: rename it w/ a bak extension, then delete the original, create a new one using gconf-editor [11:25] Inki: does your router have upnp? if not, have you set it up to forward ports? [11:25] my terminals can not display UTF characters :( [11:25] In function ‘main’ [11:26] tech0007: mind if I pm you [11:26] Inki : you mean you use some front end tool to set up firewall I never use that tools so I don´t know [11:26] In RHEL I have them but in UBUNTU I dont [11:26] What was the command to see your CPU-data in terminal? [11:26] Inki : I can guess but that is not what you need [11:26] I have generated the locales for US [11:26] and en_US.UTF [11:26] Inki: transmission automagically forwards ports, and can test if they're open [11:26] K-4U: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:27] Hi.

[11:59] theFATMAN: I've just given you the correct command to install the package [11:59] ikonia, simple, whenever something decides to install/upgrade a package, some script.d would get run => the question if there is such a hook or no. [11:59] is there a simple samba browser, that only opens the ip thats given with the programm call? [11:59] ikonia: thats the one i have installed, all was well til about 45 min ago [11:59] remoteCTRL: install t [11:59] it [11:59] adrian1520, Well, I cant really help you atm then, have you tried searching the forums and google?

[12:00] laeg: gtg; goodluck [12:00] ikonia: ok, brb [12:00] askvictor: i did that, it told me i'm not authorised to run it just like when i run it in this x [12:00] adrian1520, yes, the forums is the best way to find if ur problem has been encountered before and usually it has been fixed too [12:01] anyone into mp3 encoding?

[12:56] stabbyjoe12: hmm no, its a gui program [12:56] alcor: Why not? [12:56] What does icewm do? [12:56] Sarutobi`, and all wifi cards can be used in ubuntu, it might just require some time and effort put into it to get it to work tho :P [12:56] Nice [12:56] Sarutobi`: its desktop manager like GNOME or KDE, but much faster/smaller [12:56] i don't know [12:57] Sarutobi your wifi ia Broadcom 4306 so all bets are off, broadcom seem to place more emphisis in there CEO having orgies than getting there radios to work in linux [12:57] Can most sound problems be rectified easily? [12:57] So, chances are it won't work? [12:57] i thinkyoul find gparted is pridominantly used as a live cd:) [12:57] Pici, i don't know [12:58] Neither "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", nor "Xorg -configure" helped to wake X up for ATI ES1000 (rev 02) graphics card.

Any way I can cleanly remove the cache and/or prevent it from growing? [13:24] DanielRM apt clean [13:25] DanielRM I would suggest you burn it to a cd so you dont hit the servers if you need something again, or create an aptoncd [13:25] DanielRM: apt-get autoclean or autoremove [13:25] DanielRM as for preventing it growing stop installing packages :-) [13:25] can someone please tell me why i can only install transmission 1.06 from synaptic when 1.2 has been released?

[13:28] ok, logixoul just: apt-cache cache search linux- , I believe you want the generic kernel, the cpu specific optiomzations are setup at runtime [13:28] anirudh0: 644 on ~/.dmrc and 700 on ~/..use chmod to do this <--- for the last one, do you just mean set my home dir to 700?

[14:46] eMaX: just open the adress localhost:631 [14:46] then you will see [14:46] khajavi: well..you could always downgrade the kernel..remove linux-generic..install an older linux image from synaptic..and boot into it [14:47] http://localhost:631 [14:47] what has changed? [14:47] DIFH-iceroot, in what?

[14:49] ricoza if the drive is empty, I would use gparted to remove the partition and rebuild it or just reformat the partition that is on it [14:49] ikonia: becase in hardy when I want to install my hsf conexant modem I lose my alsa driver and my sound [14:49] anirudh0: well, the restricted drivers for one, [14:49] where can i get help in how to compile my main.cpp that uses the mikmod lib???? i don't know how to link it [14:49] = ( [14:49] blaa [14:49] Jack_Sparrow where do i ask my questions [14:49] chamuscas Is your question how to ask a question? [14:50] yeh i guess [14:50] khajavi: I suggest you fix/log bugs against the current issue, rather than try to back port the kernel [14:50] JS : ok thanks, i'll try gparted [14:50] enaner: you can install programs with sudo apt-get install name_of_the_programm [14:50] for now it is that [14:50] chamuscas right where you are typing now [14:50] AH JA [14:50] hooow [14:50] cool [14:50] hi all [14:50] lolo [14:50] *lol [14:50] DIFH-iceroot, localhost:631 gives a menu and I can get as far as choosing the printer driver. then it asks for user/pass. Also, localhost:631/admin 404's [14:50] ikonia: due to email to linuxant(driver site) they are working on new bug [14:51] so is there any more rooms to chat [14:51] eMaX: cups want your root login if i remeber correctly [14:51] khajavi: ok - so work on the bug with them rather than cause issues for your system [14:51] eMaX: sudo passwd [14:51] chamuscas Hundreds. [14:51] nononoo [14:51] DIFH-iceroot, ok had to restart cups [14:51] ok how's this for odd, I only have reflection issues in EQ2 if the window is maximized (not fullscreen, maximized) [14:51] cool [14:51] eMaX: then you have your root-login [14:51] chamuscas: I prefer sitting out in the garden to chat, rather than sitting in a room [14:51] DIFH-iceroot: it works without the root login [14:51] DIFH-iceroot Please do not suggest that. [14:51] !noroot [14:51] 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 ;-) [14:51] eMaX: don't enable root [14:51] gordonjcp LOOOOL [14:51] Jack_Sparrow: hm, my cups is asking for root-login [14:51] Jack_Sparrow how can i get a list of all rooms?

Add -YES option to command if you really mean it [14:53] i didn't understnad [14:53] chamuscas Please look for a howto guide for irc.. that is beyond the scope of this channel [14:53] DIFH-iceroot, I have entered root and his pwd, now the browser is just waiting. this is at the end, after choosing the printer model [14:53] beyond the scope, where's that [14:54] eMaX: so you enabled root account? [14:54] chamuscas Please stop [14:54] !pt [14:54] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.

[14:56] Is it possible to access GDM of a remote server and start a new X session by logging in using GDM? [14:56] hello, I'm trying to use Ubuntu with a LCD monitor and the screen is slightly offset to the left in Gnome, how can I setup my monitor so that the left isn't cut off like that? [14:56] hello [14:56] vy: gdm has a secure remote login [14:57] lch: adjust resolution properly and then adjust the monitor itself [14:57] vy: Normally you would use a local login manager but have it login to a remote X session [14:59] How come i can't remote desktop to one of my vista computers ? [14:59] i have enabled remote desktop on the vista computer [14:59] Rocko: the surprising thing would be if you could [14:59] Dimitris, I have exactly one (1) option for the resolution, 1024x768 at 60 Hz, and I can't change it on the monitor because then the console offset is wrong [15:00] Rocko: vista's remote connection thing is proprietary [15:00] and i have tried remote desktoping to it by ip and computername [15:00] Rocko: you mean remote share? [15:00] lch: then you have problems with resolution (video drivers maybe) [15:00] i wan't to remote desktop to it [15:00] so i can control the vista machine from my ubuntu box [15:00] !coc [15:00] The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [15:00] Dimitris, isn't there some xorg.conf setting that I can apply to correct this behaviour? [15:00] anirudh0: I've enabled XDMCP of GDM, now which tool should I use to remote access to related GDM session? [15:01] Rocko, then install some VNC service on the windows computer like UltraVNC [15:01] google it [15:01] i choose vista remote desktop to do allow other OS's then just vista. [15:01] hmm, turned on nvidia accelerated drivers from the hardware manager, now i get the black screen on start-up [15:01] is it possible to disable bluetooth without disabling wireless (gutsy, thinkpad z60m)? [15:02] .Allow connection from computers running any version of RD [15:02] lch: there are some ways to fix that, ask those who know better , e.g. Jack_Sparrow ;) [15:02] hello, ubuntu works correctly on intel dual core? [15:02] oh ok [15:02] so ultraVNC works. [15:02] nice [15:02] i will have a look into it thanks. [15:02] RDP should work too.. [15:02] no one knows how to get rid of this black screen? [15:03] geehumshriber press the x button? :D [15:03] How do I set GDM to use another screen. I have 2 xserver setup === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [15:03] folks, I once saw a site which helps in transferring from windows to linux, could you please remind me what it was? [15:04] why am I getting no sound all of a sudden? [15:04] Taejo http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/24/disable-bluetooth-on-ubuntu-710/ [15:04] did linux kernel work efficiently on intel dual core CPU? [15:04] wild: Yes [15:05] sharperguy: I'd check cabling, then mixer, then restart the sound server [15:05] Dimitris: there are several. one i like is getgnulinux.org [15:05] but linux kernel support dual core?? It works by SMP? [15:05] I am having serious issues mounting samba shares in nautilus. Is there any fix for this yet? [15:06] Must I install a VNC server to be able to access X session of a remote machine? Isn't there any alternative methods? Similar to remote desktop facility of micros~1? [15:06] can anyone help me setup GDM for dual displays? [15:06] wild: The generic kernel has SMP, yes [15:06] GleepGlop, how do I restart the sound server? [15:06] vy, ssh -x [15:06] hello [15:06] -X [15:06] not -x [15:06] ^^ [15:06] GleepGlop: gdm specifically or X in general? [15:06] sharper guy: terminal /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [15:06] How to turn on cpu fan at 100%??????????? [15:07] GDM, X is working fine [15:07] * vatts wants to know how to set vhost s in dancer-services (oh yeah, that project sux, but it's only one wich i got up) [15:07] but I've listened that linux kernel work by intel dual core as a single core? Is true? [15:07] vy i think, ubuntu comes with a default remote desktop sharing facility:D [15:07] I want the login window in screen1 instead of screen0 [15:07] * vatts wants to know how to set vhost s in dancer-services (oh yeah, that project sux, but it's only one wich i got up) [15:07] !!

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [15:09] my mouse cursor doesnt move when I use the keyboard, any idea to fix the problem? [15:09] bobstro: no big deal, just the spit and polish no a dual display setup [15:09] on* [15:09] Andycas: not a good idea [15:09] founded thanks [15:09] GleepGlop: my only 'issue' is finding a background that spans both displays nicely. [15:09] linux kernel works with intel dual core as a single core cpu?? [15:09] creeed Do yo umean when you use the touchpad on your keyboard [15:09] anirudh0: and letting my an sit on 0% while my cpu is 70C is good idea?! [15:09] I need help fast! [15:09] bobstro: yeah, good luck [15:10] Andycas: there's something wrong with the hardware then [15:10] Jack_Sparrow, for the touchpad I dont have the problem, it's just when I use my usb-mouse [15:10] GleepGlop, that didn't help. I think something is taking precidence over pulseaudio but I have no idea what [15:10] anirudh0: grr, its ubuntu fan control, on bios it works [15:10] cool [15:10] got it to work with rdesktop [15:10] :) [15:11] creeed And you are expecting the arrow keys on the keyboard to move your mouse? [15:11] !mplayer [15:11] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove.

It's on the desktop [15:13] Jack_Sparrow, no, an example when you play a shooter you have to use mouse and keyboard at the same time, so this dont work with my usb-mouse [15:13] hi guys =) [15:13] anirudh0, mouse emulation, where? [15:13] I have gnome [15:14] creeed Ah.. understood.. have you tried a different non-usb mouse [15:14] creeed: as i said..its a kde 3.5 feature..must be a way to make it work in gnome [15:14] does anyone here happen to have experience with pptpd? (it's a vpn server) I'm running it and my pc can connect to it but it gives an error. still, when i port scan to see on which port it listens so that i can make a firewall rule, it doesn't show vpn on any ports, wtf? [15:14] GleepGlop: are they both set as a single desktop (xinerama)? [15:15] Jack_Sparrow, no, in some ubuntu-forums should people have the same problem even if they used an ps-2 mouse [15:15] GleepGlop: in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf you can set PositionX,Y if you just need to move it over [15:15] anirudh0, thanks I'll try it [15:15] creeed Is it only one game or all games [15:16] creeed I need to leave for a bit.. hope you get it worked out [15:16] is it possible to play the standard-chess online??? or only in the network???

[15:20] chamuscas: did you go through help->contents already? [15:20] can I perform a direct dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy? [15:20] Jun 12 22:08:19 t kernel: [ 92.950286] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/8, error -71 [15:21] nop [15:21] How to put cpu fan on full blast?! [15:21] bobstro tks [15:21] <_ZeuZ_> is there any way to import gnome 2.22 to Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu? Since I've seen the repos hold 2.20.2.2 instead of the one a partner of mine (ubuntu user) is after... [15:21] help->contents [15:21] i have a problem with resuming [15:21] bobstro: i was away. thanks! I'll try that . . . . :) [15:21] <_ZeuZ_> chamuscas, who was that for? [15:21] instead of the dialog to type the pass, I get a white screen, but I can still type pass to pass it [15:22] but I don't like that [15:22] bobstro can you tell me how do i get the cube environment in ubuntu [15:22] <_ZeuZ_> chamuscas, install compiz [15:22] What's the default Eclipse directory? I installed it with Synaptic [15:22] <_ZeuZ_> and I can guide you there... [15:22] chamuscas: ask away here, there are lots of folks doing it. [15:22] tank you and sry [15:22] <_ZeuZ_> chamuscas, go to general, and set the horizontal number of desktops to 4 [15:22] _Zeuz_ [15:23] <_ZeuZ_> then allow the plugin, and you're done [15:23] matt_: I never liked installing eclipse from the repositories. I just download it from the website and install it to home [15:23] _Zeuz_ ok ok now what [15:23] hi every ten mins or so my computer makes a chimmig up sound then a chimming down sound after anoher ten mins [15:23] what the hellis it? [15:23] matt_: If you install via the repositories you have to change permissions around or you'll never be able to download and install new plugins from inside of Eclipse. (Unless you run it with sudo, but that's probably not a great idea) [15:23] <_ZeuZ_> If you did set the number of horizontal desktops to4, and activated the cube plugin, then you're done. simply use the key combination you chose [15:23] what the hell is chimming? [15:23] Hi guys, is there an official hardy wishlist? or at least a per-package wishlist? [15:23] <_ZeuZ_> chamuscas, If you did set the number of horizontal desktops to4, and activated the cube plugin, then you're done. simply use the key combination you chose [15:24] _Zeuz_, tanks i will try to install compiz now [15:24] chamuscas: i just did system->preferences->appearance->Visual Effects and selected Extra. i had appropriate drivers already installed. doing that enabled all the compiz effects. [15:24] chamuscas: but yes, you may need to install other packages. [15:24] <_ZeuZ_> chamuscas, lol, I thought you had allready installed it [15:24] ajonat : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [15:24] ah okay, thanks, I think I'll download it from the site then. Only been using Linux for a day [15:25] <_ZeuZ_> ChampS``, I can't really guide you to install it through Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu GUI, because it's easy enough, and I'm a Debian user... [15:25] _ZeuZ_: compiz seems to get pulled in automatically, at least for all my buddies lately. what normally pulls it in ? [15:25] <_ZeuZ_> s/ChampS/chamuscas/ [15:25] zvacet, thanks [15:25] DIFH-iceroot, I am getting to it [15:25] DIFH-iceroot, I now get in the cups logfile, when I print a page: Print-Job: Unauthorized [15:25] wtf [15:25] DIFH-iceroot, also, I have configured the printer as ipp://192.168.1.74:631/ipp/p1 [15:25] <_ZeuZ_> bobstro, what do you mean with that? I repeat, I do not use Ubuntu, but Debian... Though, installation is easy in Ubuntu [15:26] don't hl me o.o [15:26] I am having problems setting up PWM fan profiles, I do the pwmconfig but when I restart the profile is not used... Do I have to activate fancontrol somewhere ? (Hardy) [15:26] <_ZeuZ_> in Debian you have to manually modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:26] <_ZeuZ_> ChampS``, sorry xD [15:26] <_ZeuZ_> ChampS``, it was a typo [15:26] ^^ [15:26] _ZeuZ_: ah, no big deal. it's just that compiz always seems to be there with latest ubuntu. i keep telling friends to install it and it's already there. [15:26] hi ;) [15:26] Major issues with GVFS on active directory. Is there any fix for this? [15:26] <_ZeuZ_> bobstro, It's integrated afaik [15:26] _ZeuZ_: there's a dependency that they must be installing by default. maybe accelerated drivers (nvidia-glx-new) pull it in? [15:27] _ZeuZ_: so lately i just tell them to try enabling advanced effects in little appearance preference panel and it works. [15:27] Hi, i installed a new grapics card and now, gdm doesn't show me anything when i boot it. When gdm is up, i'm unable to get a terminal by pressing ctrl alt Fx to. And ssh is not up, so do i have to reinstall? === escaix is now known as tropiix [15:27] im using linux for years now, but i have never tried ubuntu - screenshots of 8.04 looked nice, so i just downloaded it. but bad luck, the live-cd startx-command just produces a black / blue / orange / white /changing color screen, and the message "xterm: bad command line option xterm" as only error message. dunno what to do :p [15:27] <_ZeuZ_> bobstro, dunno, once again I say, i do not use ubbuntu/*INSERT LETTER HERE*buntu [15:28] <_ZeuZ_> but, perhaps ubuntu core developers have tried that [15:28] _ZeuZ_: ok. i was mostly debian myself until last year or so. [15:28] <_ZeuZ_> bobstro, then why did you migrate? xD [15:29] <_ZeuZ_> I'm trying to migrate myself to FreeBSD... [15:29] <_ZeuZ_> but I can't get used to ports [15:29] _ZeuZ_: well, my server is still debian. i just found it easier to get friends going with ubuntu as "support guy". [15:29] hi there ... [15:30] _ZeuZ_: but i still consider ubu "offspring of debian" :) [15:30] debian > ubuntu for servers :D [15:30] ^^ [15:30] <_ZeuZ_> bobstro, my mates at debian-es conquire that Ubuntu creates people afraid of consoles/ttys [15:30] scummos: what videocard [15:30] wols_: nvidia geforce 7600 gt [15:30] _ZeuZ_, lol? [15:31] AFRAID of consoles oO ? [15:31] _ZeuZ_: well... for a lot of people that may be just as well. :) i don't want mom & dad playing under there. [15:31] they are scared by windows !

[15:35] jo4 1 [15:35] jo4: just once? or allways? [15:35] hi, it seems i broke my sound. yesterday, just after installing, it worked, but it seems I have fscked it up [15:35] eMaX: so this is when you first create the printer? what sort of printer? on a server? [15:35] i have a problem with resuming [15:35] just once [15:35] instead of the dialog to type the pass, I get a white screen, but I can still type pass to pass it [15:36] anyone has solution to that? [15:36] bobstro, the printer is on a server that supports ipp, smb, etc. works fine from a windows box. [15:36] bobstro, the ip is 192.168.1.74 [15:36] jo4: boot into recovery mode or stop gdm on a normal session "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [15:36] From the command line, what program should I use to send files via samba?

[15:36] chimp_: smbclient ? or mount the windows share and copy files [15:37] eMaX: i usually get away with ipp://
:631/ipp/ (from memory) [15:37] tried that [15:37] hy guis [15:37] eMaX: sometimes looking at working windows configuration yields the hint. [15:37] erUSUL, is recovery mode totally X free? cause if gdm starts, i won't have a chance of getting a console. and my ssh is removed from rc [15:37] Hi there - can anyone explain to me how I might be able to get my GNOME automount utility to reset to the default values for my USB memory stick? I tampered with it and now the only way I can access my memory stick is to mount it manually,,, [15:37] can anyone help? [15:37] eMaX: you need the password definitely? [15:37] jo4: is totally X free [15:37] hey all, can someone help me get my usb headphones working? Ubuntu can see my headphones as an output, but nothing ever comes out of it other than the login sound ubuntu has. [15:37] so nobody knows to solve my xterm-error-message-problem? okay, then ill wait for the next version :) [15:37] jo4: you're safe [15:38] bobstro, don't know, for smb yes. [15:38] phew, thanks guys [15:38] how to reset wine resolution [15:38] bobstro, what's more, I get in the cups log file cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! [15:38] eMaX: which browser are you accessing cups with? [15:38] hi guys :) [15:38] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and i dont have nternet connection [15:38] jo4: even if it did go to X, there's a way to boot to a shell anyway [15:38] can anyone help me ? [15:38] scummos: does the live cd work for you? [15:38] well firefox or the gnome print settings manager [15:39] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:39] bobstro: nope, this is the one i have tried ;) [15:39] Hello. Any idea how to capture a video and audio stream from a runnning xine player to hard disk? [15:39] eMaX: there's been a discussion about firefox not accepting cups certificates. some missing keys IIRC. so i've used a different browser lately for configuring cups. [15:39] hello pple :) please could someone offer help, installing flash in opera on ubuntu hardy please could you be discriptive as i am new to linux thank you in advance [15:39] scummos: ah, that's a bummer. what sort of video card? [15:39] i just re-installed hardy after a disk failure, and now network-manager appears incapable of configuring interfaces. syslog shows correct transaction with DHCP server including DHCPACK of ip address. Any ideas? [15:39] Can I tell xine to use an additional output device? [15:40] bobstro: NVIDIA geforce 7600gt [15:40] nm-applet just keeps spinning away saying "getting address from wired network" [15:40] that's probably not it [15:40] ccooke, like a grub argument? [15:40] scummos: did you try failsafe mode? [15:40] bobstro: nope, is there one? i didnt see it ;) [15:40] are the Intel 965GM drivers shiped with Ubuntu really bad ? [15:40] i just installed ubuntu hardy and i have no internet connection [15:40] bobstro: you know if ubuntu tries to load the nvidia-driver instead of the nv one? [15:40] bobstro, looks a lot like http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-166473.html [15:41] scummos: not by default. [15:41] looking for a replacement for solar winds - anyone know a good option? [15:43] do I need to build the lastest drivers from intellinuxgraphics.org ? [15:43] bobstro: okay... so which option do i have to specify for failsafe? [15:43] eMaX: sorry, i've got to run. good luck with it. [15:43] bobstro: just "failsafe"? [15:43] scummos: try just that, yes. see if it helps. [15:43] bobstro: ty then ;) ill try. cya =) [15:43] bye [15:43] hi [15:43] xine is successfully playing an "interactive" DVD which dvdrip refuses to read ... Any idea how to dump the stream tp a file? [15:44] does this configuration enable dual boot? http://pastebin.com/m43ebb944 [15:44] Rockj: In what way [15:44] i've got a tiny grub question [15:45] can i dual boot with this config? http://pastebin.com/m43ebb944 [15:45] bobstro, tnx [15:46] mr_boo: have you installed ubuntu before or after Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista ? [15:46] jo4: (sorry, ask) yes. If you append 'init=/bin/bash' to a kernel boot line, it'll boot with the shell replacing init. But you need to know a few tricks to actually do anything with a system in that state, so it's really Not Recommended unless there's no other way [15:46] The-Seiman: before [15:46] mr_boo: you can't dual boot then [15:47] mr:boo: you must reinstall grub [15:47] mr_boo, did you manually change your partitioning? typically windows is on the first part of the drive since it likes it that way and is normally installed first [15:47] mr_boo: did you edit grub to map the windows partition to be as first partition [15:47] mr_boo: It's a lot trickier to get Windows on a machine that already has Ubuntu installed than vice versa [15:47] hi all [15:47] The more of the story is install windows then Ubuntu I guess [15:48] moral [15:48] lonetech1920: i managed to boot xp direct after install [15:48] I don't think it'd be impossible to do it the other way at all [15:48] i've also found read somewhere that linux can be booted from ntldr [15:48] lonetech1920: but after restoring grub windows is gone [15:48] my mouse is going crazy, if I make a left click and then a right click the pointer goes to a screen corner, anyone knows of something similar? [15:48] ccooke, ah, ok. i've managed to get a picture now atleast. but it's good to know. [15:49] Does Vista require that it be on the first partition in order to boot? I know older versions of Windows were like that, right? [15:49] it happens on alt+tab and some window triggers like that one [15:49] mr_boo: can you browse the windows partition from ubuntu [15:49] lonetech1920: haven't tried [15:49] miturburu: maybe check your leads are firmly plugged in [15:49] well, no one can help me on my intel 965GM problem ? [15:50] lonetech1920, he wants to setup grub to boot into it.. win installed after ubuntu.. reinstalling grub wipes the win entry [15:50] The-Seiman: how do i reinstall grub? [15:50] The-Seiman: What problem? [15:50] mr_boo: give me a min [15:50] threedee: they are, I tried changing the usb port too [15:51] does anyone know how to install flash in opera ? [15:51] ASULUtzy: well, the 3D rendering ( direct rendering is on ) is very slow, and on #xorg, they suggested me to use the lastest intel drivers [15:51] The-Seiman: I have a 965 in my laptop, and I'm pretty ticked at it... I can't get my S-video to do so much as make my TV flicker using the intel driver. Means I have to leave Windows installed on this thing [15:51] The-Seiman: Slow for what? Like gaming, or compiz? [15:51] threedee: any other idea? [15:52] The-Seiman: Cause let's be honest, onboard isn't really the greatest for 3d intensive stuff [15:52] ASULUtzy: but [15:52] I'm using Synaptic Package Manager (in Ubuntu 8.04) and I was wondering if I do a search for a certain package, will it only search for packages I have currently installed on my machine? Because I want to search for packages that I may need to download too. [15:52] see ya guys [15:52] ASULutzy: 60 FPS isn't really good [15:52] evariste: No, it searches the software repositories [15:52] The-Seiman: 60 FPS? Is it stuck at exactly 60 FPS? [15:52] evariste, when using search it searches for everything all at once [15:52] ASULutzy: and under Windows, I get 10x times more [15:53] The-Seiman: Cause 60 is a pretty round number, sounds like you forgot to turn V-sync off lol! [15:53] uit [15:53] ASUlutzy: for example, I searched for xchat but nothing appeared. [15:53] Well thanks to Jack_Sparrows imba luck wishing skills, my xubuntu is working great [15:53] ASULutzy: V-sync ? I'm a newbie yes ... [15:54] ASULutzy: should I disable it with driconf ? [15:54] The-Seiman: Google it. It's an option that can be turned on in Windows or in Linux. It's short for vertical sync. Basically it caps your framerate out at exactly your monitor's refresh rate. It prevents screen tearing [15:55] But, I need some help with deleting the windows xp partition and getting my Broadcom pci card to work [15:55] The-Seiman: But if you are capped at exactly 60 FPS then it's definitely V-sync. Though V-sync isn't necessarily bad. Depending on what game I'm playing on my desktop I turn it on [15:55] evariste, what happens when you're at the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install xchaat" .. without the quotes.. [15:55] *xchat [15:55] evariste: I just did a search for xchat, and I see it [15:56] E: Couldn't find package xchat [15:56] evariste: You could try just sudo apt-get install xchat. Although I see there are like, gnome specific ones... Not too familiar with it, someone else can help maybe [15:56] evariste: What does your sources file look like? [15:56] !info xchat [15:56] evariste, and are you using the same machine to check with that you're on irc with? [15:56] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu7 (hardy), package size 301 kB, installed size 808 kB [15:56] seems like a compiz issue, I tried switching it off and the problem no longer occurs, I try reporting it [15:56] thanks anyway [15:56] yes, currently I am using pidgin [15:56] evariste, just making sure that you have an internet connection. [15:56] !paste | evariste Give us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list [15:56] evariste Give us the output of /etc/apt/sources.list: 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) [15:57] evariste, be sure all the software sources (first four) are enabled [15:57] could anyone help install flash in opera please? ive googled everywhare and im new to linux witch doesnt help :) [15:57] Hello, I like to get the indirect XDMCP query chooser by default on my ubuntu 8.04 install. Is this possible ? [15:57] The-Seiman: I find it really weird that no one in #xorg would suggest vsync as what's holding your FPS back... [15:58] mr_boo: sudo grub-install /dev/hda [15:58] evariste, ok.. with synaptic open go to settings/repositories and make sure the checkmarks are ticked for multiverse and universe and NOT ticked for cdrom [15:58] The-Seiman: thanks [15:58] mr_boo: maybe this might help: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [15:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19653/ [15:58] A irc channel about GCC exists? [15:59] ASULutzy: well, they heard "Ubuntu" and they immediatly suggested me to build the lastest drivers because Ubuntu's ones are too old [15:59] anybody known a irc channel about gcc? [15:59] <_ZeuZ_> #gcc [15:59] tnx [15:59] The-Seiman: Tricky programmers, always looking for the complicated problems first ;) [16:00] scunizi: yes, that is already the case. [16:01] evariste, sources looks good.. lets see if we can get synaptic to search for a better mirror [16:01] could anyone tell me a good dvdripping tool? [16:01] lonetech1920: thanks [16:01] Currently I'm using the UK mirror, perhaps I should switch to "main" ? [16:01] mr_boo: also you might need to use map for windows something like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/19654/ === bicz is now known as beecz [16:02] jagggy: handbrake but its command line === beecz is now known as bicz [16:02] evariste, if you know how to switch.. yes.. synaptic has a feature to search for the best in your area. [16:02] hmm szczym any other, with gui? ^^ [16:02] jagggy: mencoder, it's all you need ;) But again, command line [16:02] jagggy: brasero [16:02] ok :) ty guys [16:02] jagggy: They make GUI frontends for mencoder, but I don't like them. Acidrip is one I can think of offhand [16:03] lonetech1920: that was the information i needed i think [16:03] How would I go about finding a way to install PersonalJava on my Gutsy server? I'm logged in through a secure shell [16:03] jagggy: But my advice would be to learn to use mencoder, it's amazing once you learn the ins and outs of it really [16:03] mr_boo: ok cool [16:03] what command do i need to use to install an unpackaged tar.gz file? I'm trying to install Firefox 3 RC3 and Eclipse 3.3.2 [16:03] matt_: RC3? I thought RC2 came out like, I dunno, last week? [16:03] lonetech1920: thanks [16:03] Hello my system is having a lot of Harddrive activity. Is there anyway to determine what application is reading/writing to the HDD? [16:03] ok ASULutzy i'll try :) [16:04] mr_boo: np [16:04] I forget how to search for Sun programs I want to install [16:04] matt_: And if I remember, the Eclipse download doesn't need to be "installed" per say, you just basically decompress it and it's good to go. Similar to how you just need to unzip it in windows and it works [16:04] rever: have you checked the system monitor in ubuntu? [16:05] . [16:05] rever.. if it's a new install it's just the indexing happening.. after it's done all will be well. [16:05] mr_boo, Yeah it give me Memory and CPU utilization but nothing on HDD. I have used xosview and saidar [16:05] oh nice, can i add it to the applications list ? [16:06] matt_: Yea, I suppose so, I think you can just basically right click anywhere in the applications list to add new groups/apps [16:06] To do a encrypted filesystem in Hardy, I simply run the alternate install disk and select the option to format as encrypted LVM, correct? Is there a way to change the encryption passcode later? [16:06] matt_: Hmmm, but maybe not :X [16:06] Just, one more time, what's the command used to find the different program names before you do "sudo apt-get"? [16:06] scunizi, Nope install was quite some time ago. I can tell something is accessing the HDD. saidar and xosview both show usage. My swap is 0% and very fire swapin and swapout [16:06] matt_, ASULutzy right mouse click the "applications" lettering then do it. [16:06] matt_: I forget how to add stuff there lol, I'm sure someone in here knows [16:07] scunizi, it seems to work now - thanks. [16:07] scottyL, apt-cache search [16:07] scunizi: There ya go! [16:07] Thanks, bazhang [16:07] Ah thankyou :) [16:07] evariste, no problem.. while getting xchat you might also want irssi for those times you get stuck using terminal.. [16:08] irssi rocks [16:08] Will do. === mad-oni is now known as madpinger [16:08] evariste, actually .. irssi can be quite addicting.. even though it's a terminal program.. there's lots of features. [16:09] Hello I'm trying to use mod_auth and mod_proxy to protect a video feed. I have lots of details in http://pastebin.ca/1046039 and I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

WEP can be cracked in seconds === Soulchild is now known as soulchild [16:14] _ZeuZ_: i was actually talking to justme_ i agree with you..

[16:14] ^^ [16:14] <_ZeuZ_> I said I frefer wpa over wep this menas I rather use WPA than WEP [16:14] WPA is not feasibly crackable given a long enough pass [16:15] Sarutobi`, dont think so [16:15] <_ZeuZ_> justme_, mac is spoofable [16:15] Hey guys, still having trouble configuring this Video card [16:15] Why am i banned from #debian ? i just started my computer ???

[16:16] <_ZeuZ_> and then I check for the hostname in a query [16:16] !fakeraid | hoens [16:16] hoens: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:16] <_ZeuZ_> ASULutzy, but still crackeable [16:16] At the moment I am trying to install and configure the integrated Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G [16:16] For some reason, despite next door using WEP, I was able to spoof a MAC address of one of their devices and get straight in... -.- [16:16] Parker2: is that a graphics chipset? [16:16] any help would be very much appreciated [16:16] ^^ lol QUILz [16:16] yes IndyGunFreak [16:17] Parker2: it should work out of the box(at least mine does) [16:17] can anyone help me with some sound issues? i have an acer aspire 5100 laptop, just installed ubuntu and the sound doesnt work. Been looking at HdaIntelSoundHowto but cant work out what the problem is. [16:17] <_ZeuZ_> QUILz, then it wasn'treally protected with wep? [16:17] Hello [16:17] <_ZeuZ_> another thing that has it's uses is deny broadcasting and cloaking the network [16:17] Where are the debian Channels ? Also on freenode ? [16:17] soulchild: test [16:17] bazhang, I have no idea what I'm doing [16:17] IndyGunFreak: It does work however, I need to know which driver it uses, and to do that I need to be able to configure it in Xorg but it won't let me. [16:17] !test [16:17] Failed! [16:17] soulchild: #debian-ops should be able to tell you why you're banned [16:17] soulchild, #debian [16:17] <_ZeuZ_> soulchild, #debian [16:18] IndyGunFreak: how do i ask him ? [16:18] bazhang: thanks [16:18] soulchild: type this w./o quotes.. "/join #debian-ops" [16:18] Sarutobi`, did you read that link [16:18] I have another question, I'm pretty new to Linux (exWindows user) and I was wondering what firewalls, antispyware, antivirus software there is out there for Linux? I used to use things like zonealarm, ad-aware, avg, etc.. for Windows. [16:18] I'm reading [16:18] !antivirus | evariste [16:18] evariste: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus === mehdi is now known as bayar [16:18] But I don't think I'll be able to do much [16:18] clamav [16:18] evariste, not really needed [16:19] clam av is pretty good but not needed [16:19] evariste, your router if you have one is a hard firewall.. the rest of the stuff isn't really needed.. [16:19] WOW irssi is great [16:19] Do we not need antivirus softs under ubuntu? [16:19] <_ZeuZ_> evariste, as for firewall, you don't need nothing more than iptables and ipchains that come alltoghether on kernels higher than 2.4.1 [16:19] soulchild: :) [16:19] DaLiang, nay [16:19] nope, linux is safe enough [16:19] DaLiang: unless you need to protect windows boxes(ie, you're a server) [16:19] Not really, People don't write viruses for Linux [16:19] evariste, also ubuntu has a firewall built in.. iptables.. takes care of a lot of stuff [16:19] yes we do, and we have antiviruses [16:19] QUILz: how do i switch between windows (channels) [16:19] * BoltClock wants to pull out his ubuntu hard disk and hug it [16:20] I have two os [16:20] Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N [16:20] Hi. How do I search packages in the command line with aptitude ? [16:20] Do I have to configure these iptables or enable them? Or should this already be done? [16:20] viruses are written by 1337 h4x0r semi-autistic teenagers who think they can program because they know how to click and drool in visual basic [16:20] DaLiang: on one PC.. [16:20] ? [16:20] evariste, the only reason to use antivirus on linux is to protect your windows friends from receiving something from you. [16:20] * soulchild loves terminal mode,... and never needs an XServer anymore ? [16:20] IndyGunFreak yes ubuntu and xp [16:20] how do i switch between channels in irssi [16:21] * Parker2 assumes that either no one wants to help him, or no one knows how. [16:21] evariste, get firestarter [16:21] So in terms of security, I shouldn't worry too much? [16:21] correct [16:21] DaLiang: unless you're downloading stuff in ubuntu, and sharingw/ XP, you don't need antivirus on Ubuntu.. read what scunizi said above. [16:21] ubuntu is really secure [16:21] soulchild: Ctrl-N for next, Ctrl-P for previous [16:22] debian is probably more secure but you sacrifice the convenience of having a greater selection of software packages [16:22] My clients are going to love me when I tell them I can't finish their stupid HTPC demo box. [16:22] evariste: just common sense.. i personally hate software firewalls, whether i'm using linux or Windows, so I always recommend a good router/firewall w/ stateful packet inspection.. beyond that, i do nothing. [16:22] I need a little help, I have a bash script that converts a folder of avi files into dvd-iso's or burning. This bash script makes a dvd folder for the dvd VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files. The script I am using is supposed to remove that directory after it makes the iso file. But for some reason it is not which in turns really screws stuff up. Can anyone help me? :-\ [16:22] IndyGunFreak Thank you very much ,I onece spent two week to install Antivir into ubuntu, I am freshman to ubuntu [16:22] anparks: i don't know about that.. ubuntu is probably just as secure as Debian.. [16:22] i just built an HTPC box, running hardy and 64studio [16:22] DaLiang: its really not necessary, like i said, unless you're doing a lot of filesharing w/ Windows boxes/networks, or acting as a server for them. [16:22] yes, but you seemingly can't help me anparks. [16:23] Hello everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind. I'm tring to transfer my music library from my ubuntu desktop to my macbook pro and have been unable to get a direct physical connection to work between them. [16:23] garlic, how big [16:23] _ZeuZ_: Well, right, but if you have a very long pass phrase it becomes infeasible to crack it unless you have massively distributed computing resources at hand, and if it's sufficiently long even then it could take years to crack. Whereas WEP is inherently flawed, WPA is not [16:23] anyone know of a good beginner tutorial for using iproute and/or iptables?? [16:23] well, i've disabled the V-sync, but it's still the same ( now i'm getting around 57~63 FPS ) [16:23] do I really need to install new Intel drivers ? :-/ [16:24] ~100 gigs, and there's no option to go physically through the router, only wirelessly, which is slated to take tens of hours. [16:24] IndyGunFreak:hehe ,I konw now. There only about 200 kinds virus which infect linux [16:24] can someone help me install soundblaster drivers, i have no sound [16:25] The-Seiman: Weird. I would download compiz-check (just google it, a guy on the forums showed it to me, it's a cool script that basically lets you know everything about what's going on) It could be something with xgl versus aiglx... Are you using the intel driver or the i810? But yea, check out compiz-check script [16:25] garlic, do you have an extra HD you can use externally or internally to do the transfer.. ? sounds like you need to build a NAS box.. [16:25] falconfox: how does lspci identify your sound device [16:25] I'm back, It didn't work Zeus [16:25] making it FAT uallocates some space [16:25] anyone know of a good beginner tutorial for using iproute and/or iptables?? [16:25] *unallocates [16:25] Nah, I've got a cross cable and just wanted to ftp it across. [16:26] need help on ubuntu automatic logout [16:26] indygunfreak: im guessing no because i don't get anything [16:26] garlic why is it impossible to get a physical network connectivity? why must it be wireless? [16:26] hi guys. I have an issue whereby my system tray icons are floating windows rather than sitting in the tray [16:26] http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html colin_ [16:26] !pastebin | falconfox open a terminal and type lspci hit enter, paste it here, then give me the link to your paste [16:26] falconfox open a terminal and type lspci hit enter, paste it here, then give me the link to your paste: 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) [16:26] thankyou! [16:26] epson scanner cx4300 supposed to be solved doesnt work for me :( [16:26] <_ZeuZ_> ASULutzy, no, it can be cracked by dumping traffic and appluying vertical rule [16:26] <_ZeuZ_> ASULutzy, it's explained in slashdot [16:27] i have had to install a win partition for the printer [16:27] <_ZeuZ_> and it was demostrated on how to crack a passphrase on WPA on 30 minutes [16:27] this is crazy [16:27] peterretief: what about cups? [16:27] ASULutzy, [16:27] in a few years [16:27] if we have hard drives over 5 TB [16:27] it will be insecure [16:27] if? [16:27] IndyGunFreak: how would that help find the scanner? [16:28] you mean when [16:28] because you can EASILY create a wordlist [16:28] ASULutzy: okay thanks, i'll try the compiz-check script, about the drivers, I really don't know, in xorg.conf I have only Configured Video Device *_* [16:28] <_ZeuZ_> justme_, wpa is NOW insecure [16:28] yes when [16:28] oh, i thought you said it was a printer... sorry peterretief [16:28] _ZeuZ_, ` [16:28] ? [16:28] apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [16:28] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [16:28] how? [16:28] :// ideas? [16:28] <_ZeuZ_> nothing that is in the air is secure at all [16:28] <_ZeuZ_> as any anthena in the right frequency will catch it [16:28] mar: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:28] _ZeuZ_, .... you know in which context I mean it [16:28] mar i would do what it says [16:28] IndyGunFreak: the printer works very badly [16:28] no physical connection is secure either [16:28] all you need is enough guns ^^ [16:28] 4 port router in an annoying location, one wire under the house to each room. The other ports are either taken up of inaccessable. [16:29] _ZeuZ_: so you mean that AES is insecure? [16:29] Pici: Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic [16:29] update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic [16:29] dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [16:29] when we have hard drives with over 5 TB WPA(2) will be VERY INSECURE because every person will be able to create a wordlist with ALL possible passphrases! [16:29] <_ZeuZ_> Kl4m, AES itseflf no, the implementaion of it: yes. [16:29] lol [16:29] i am lonely because there no ones use linux around me [16:29] so you can use a dictionary attack and will have a chance of 100% of finding the key [16:29] ;) [16:29] We're here for you DaLiang ! [16:29] DaLiang: use google, most likely you have a local LUG [16:29] hi guysi just installed office 2007 on ubuntu and it worked fine but i have no idea where the apps are [16:30] Yes,you are my friend [16:30] stabbyjoe12: did you use wine? [16:30] yeah [16:30] stabbyjoe12: is it not in Applications/Wine? [16:30] nope:< [16:30] stabbyjoe12, linux likes to hide windows apps... however you might find it in Applications/ in one of the sub menus [16:30] stabbyjoe12: do you have applications/wine? [16:30] mar: Did anything happen the last time that you did an upgrade? [16:30] _ZeuZ_: give one serious reference ffor this claim [16:30] yep [16:31] <_ZeuZ_> Kl4m, blackhat papers are allowed? [16:31] Pici: maybe [16:31] i've just connected [16:31] i have a question that do linux better than windows [16:31] stabbyjoe12: then i would just manually add entries for the programs, but thats just me.. [16:31] ASULutzy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19661/ [16:31] _ZeuZ_: papers explaining the weakness are allowed [16:31] mar: Because your system is not in a good state right now [16:31] <_ZeuZ_> Kl4m, gonna bring the URL then [16:31] but i think linux is very cool [16:31] idntgunfreak :) imnew how might i do that [16:31] Pici: what can i do about it [16:31] stabbyjoe12: did you goto home\username\.wine [16:31] _ZeuZ_, Kl4m please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:32] sure [16:32] kl4m, _ZeuZ_ where are you talking about ^^ ? [16:32] the size of the drive isn't the issue... you can just have 5 one TB drives if it suits your fancy [16:32] woo slow down jst click setu exe and it ran like a normalwindows program [16:32] what's the best way to reinstall [insert program here] that controls tab completion? would purging and reinstalling bash do the trick? or does something else control it [16:32] how long have you use linux? my friend~ [16:32] Hoh, so it seems that my problem isn't in networking. My FTP client just doesn't recognise the network. [16:33] _ZeuZ_: Sorry I've been busy trying to code here at work and watch the irc channel simultaneously. Could you maybe pm me with a link to what you're talking about? I was under the impression that the only way to crack WPA was to deauth someone and then capture a full handshake. Once you've captured that you can crack it, but there's no "good" way to crack it (Yes you can use rainbow table derivatives, but again, it comes down to brute forc [16:33] stabbyjoe12: its not really hard.. right click your applications menu, then go to edit menu, then go to the menu you want to put it in(lets say under Wine for this instance), then choose New item.. Name it, then use the "browse", and browse to the executable. [16:33] i am jiust one mounth [16:33] hmm [16:33] Aiglx = Accelerated Indirect GL X [16:33] DaLiang, 3yrs.. [16:33] scanner help??

Welcome!

Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:35] rainbow table = brute force [16:35] no. [16:35] just calculated before the act [16:35] my grub is dameg cuz I try to install backtrack and I install ubuntu again for install grub cuz I try sevral time to get it but I cant. now when I sellict the old ubuntu gev me this error: cant mount this partition [16:35] rainbowtable = dictionary with ALL words [16:35] ;) [16:35] colourAgga, justme_, _ZeuZ_: Please take this conversation elsewhere, as its not Ubuntu support, perhaps ##security or #ubuntu-offtopic [16:35] for the love of _ZeuZ_ come to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:35] <_ZeuZ_> justme_, not quite, precalculated hash table with relation with words [16:36] Does anyone know of a good DVD authoring program [16:36] XXer: devede perahps? [16:36] i use rainbow tables of 2,5 million words and then some more numbers to fill out 10 GB [16:36] and that's about it [16:36] ;) [16:36] ^^ [16:36] XXer, check out Lives on www.getdeb.net.. devede works.. [16:36] it's good or bad if I have AIGLX as the rendering method ? [16:36] The-Seiman: good [16:37] ok Ill give it a try thanks [16:37] Hi. How do I see "testing" packages in synaptic ? [16:37] what gnome program can i use to manage PO files? [16:37] indio: does not exist in ubuntu [16:37] Hi could somebody please help me with an ati card issue i'm having a nightmare [16:37] indio, enable the "proposed" repo [16:37] hmmm... then I have no choice [16:37] hi [16:37] indio: We dont have a testing repository like Debian does, the closest thing is the proposed repository [16:37] I need to build new drivers [16:38] How many repos do we have ? [16:38] I would need help. How can I create folder in console? [16:38] Standalf: mkdir [16:38] Standalf: mkdir [foldername] [16:38] thx [16:38] hello, I have ubuntu feisty amd64 and I have problems with executing 32bit binaries. ia32-libs are installed, ia32 emulation is enabled on the kernel, but I get the following message when executing the binary: http://nopaste.com/p/aHs4OjWDgb [16:38] has anybody some experiences with tremulous server? [16:38] Standalf, unless you're trying to do it in a directory blow you /home directory.. [16:38] Standalf: if you want to create a directory and all its sub-directories at the same time: mkdir -p /dir1/dir2/dir3 [16:39] i'm having trouble with fglrx whenerver i install it my video card becomes unstable [16:39] Where is the default fonts folder? fonts:// in a root nautilus won't work [16:39] I want to make directory in usr/local/games - but I can do it only like root [16:39] GER|max: Any particular reason you want to use the old quake3 binaries instead of ioquake3? [16:39] IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19663/ [16:39] how easy is it to configure automatic load balancing with ubuntu server when there are two dsl lines?? [16:40] today i reinstall my ubuntu,and i find it took me a very long time to upgrade [16:40] Standalf, don't put it there.. just put it in your /home directory.. [16:40] QUILz: I actually do not use the gameservers, some friend installed them :) but I'm wondering why I can't get those 32bit binaries runnig [16:40] falconfox: problems w/ that sound device, are VERY well documented, and to my knowledge, have not been solved, try searching the forums.. http://www.ubuntuforums.org [16:40] jordanjay29: /usr/share/fonts [16:40] I cant enter my old ubuntu cuz the grub say cant mount this partition [16:40] ty [16:40] has someone an idea before I try to build the lastest intel drivers ? :-/ [16:40] colin_-> look into bonding in combinations with iptables [16:41] MGS88: did you just upgrade to hardy? [16:41] i'm having trouble with fglrx whenerver i install it my video card becomes unstable the monitor just stops outputting, could be five mins could be half and hour but it will just switch off and have to be restarted [16:41] falconfox: this is what you need to tell them.. Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi [16:41] amenado -> thanks [16:41] I have to create folder there, Im creating tremulous server [16:41] lee__: complain to ati [16:41] lol [16:41] no I install another one [16:42] or better, has someone built the officiel intel drivers in ubuntu ? [16:42] lee__: get a different one [16:42] Standalf, if you have to make a directory there then use sudo before the other line. [16:42] GER|max: Well, from what I can gather from that, strace can't find quake3.x86. Are you sure you're in the right directory? [16:42] scunizi: so sudo mkdir name? [16:42] MGS88: what did you have before and what have you installed now? [16:42] Standalf, yes [16:42] thx [16:43] IndyGunFreak: so i don't get sound with this sound card? [16:43] Standalf, using sudo makes you root.. you can do damage if you're not careful [16:43] i don't really have the cash to get another one would just be nice if there was a good way to get it working with my current card i wondered if anyone had advice.. its fine under windows [16:43] falconfox: my understanding yes, unless ther'es been a recent fix that i'm unaware of. [16:43] its all 8.4 [16:43] QUILz: 100%. "ls -al quake3.x86 && ./quake3.x86" => "-rwxr-xr-x 1 [..] 17:32 quake3.x86" "./quake3.x86: No such file or directory" [16:44] lee__: what card/chip?

[16:45] lonetech1920: its all 8.4 [16:45] LOL [16:45] IndyGunFreak: kinda like real life [16:45] GER|max: Odd. Maybe check what filetype it is? [16:45] ugg [16:45] colourAgga: sorta. === cha01 is now known as cha0s [16:46] falconfox whats yer soundcard?? could try ndiswrapper? [16:46] MGS88: can you boot into live cd and check your grub menu.lst to see how its setup because it probably a problem there [16:46] unavailable: he's got hat creative-xfi whatever it is.. i don't think ndiswrapper works w/ it.. could be wrong though [16:47] and how can I copy folder? cpdir? :D [16:47] lonetech1920: I will see [16:47] i got the soundblaster x-fi [16:47] !cli | Standalf [16:47] Standalf: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[16:48] I mean, do I get the main bells and whistles for 50 bucks? [16:48] Standalf, you want to copy or move.. copy is cp -r .. moving is mv -r .. use sudo where. needed [16:48] I would copy folder normally in gnome commander, because I dunno how to log as root there [16:48] filthpig LOL [16:48] woops, wrong channel [16:49] !lol > pLr (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [16:49] i know ati sucks but no matter how many times i'm told it sucks... it still doesn't work and i still don't have the finds in my acount to go nvidia shopping [16:49] Standalf, gksudo nautilus for a graphical root filemanager.. very dangerous.

As well as when I turn off the power button of the hard drive and turn it back on..Ubuntu isn't automaticly resycing it to my computer [16:49] that's coz ati sux doesn't really help matters [16:49] _ZeuZ_: I'll continue to use WPA until something other than brute-force (pre calculated or not) and side-channel attacks comes by. [16:49] pLr, I know, the website is quite sketchy, hence my sceptcism.. [16:49] wpa2 that is. [16:49] hey falconfox, you try this ? http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:50] Kl4m: If WPA2 gets cracked. Use aluminium foil :D [16:50] can i go from postgresql 8.2.7 to 8.2.6 on Ubuntu, I mean downgradde.

Check the net to see if you can disable it from a Windows machine [16:53] omaremad, which broadcom [16:53] bcm43xx [16:54] i dont have the code [16:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff omaremad [16:54] ill get it [16:54] ill see [16:54] but i extracted the driver [16:54] Kl4m: It seems to think its a internal hard drive and i found out how to enable it by turning it back on. But it keeps opening up the folder (The Hard Drive Folder from My Computer) of it and its annoying me. [16:54] and did the ndiswrapper stuff and the hw is recognised but no interface is there [16:54] How do i stop it from doing it.

[16:55] by Intel developers [16:55] So it's true, Ubuntu's drivers are old [16:55] The-Seima1, pastebin [16:55] hello [16:55] does anyone know what version is best to install on a dell latitude p3 512? [16:55] spiderfire, what specs [16:56] Falling-Inferno: uncheck /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open in gconf-editor [16:56] The-Seima1: Does the Intel driver support s-video for i965? I can't seem to get my TV to do so much as flicker using Ubuntu's intel driver... And I've tried just about everything. Works fine in Windows, and extended desktop on VGA works fine in Ubuntu, it's just S-video fails [16:56] Hi, Is there an easy way of rolling the nvidia drivers back to the version in Ubutnu 7.10 (I'm on Ubuntu 8.04). Since being on Ubuntu 8.04 my display locks up with some scattered artifacts when I'm on web pages with flash or try playing WoW (via wine).

[16:58] ASULutzy: you can still test the new drivers, most of the issues are due to the use of the XXA interface by Ubuntu's driver [16:58] spiderfire, ah okay; if not the fluxbuntu is preconfigured (not fluxbox on top of gnome one) [16:58] wb5udi [16:59] ASULutzy: but according to Intel, the newer ones are better :) [16:59] Howdy all. Can anyone suggest a tool which can take a list of packages and filter those down to the minimal list? [16:59] The-Seima1: Where would I go to get the new drivers? Are their .deb packages? Or is there a git or svn repository? [16:59] bazhang: ok but i mean which release [16:59] are there* [16:59] ASULutzy: anyway, i'll compile them new [16:59] ASULutzy: git [16:59] unavailable: it says "you must have a fully configured source for the linux kernel and ALSA which you want to use for this device driver" [16:59] rampageoberon, not very good at iptables; there are a few tutorials out on the net though [16:59] i don't know if i have that [16:59] !medibuntu [16:59] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:59] ASULutzy : http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [16:59] folconfox : have you tried installing the linux headers package and alsalib development package? [17:00] spiderfire, hardy unless you want something different [17:00] Is networking in Ubuntu messed up right now with HH? Every time I change the network of my laptop its connection speed is like nothing [17:00] The-Seima1: Cool! I'll check it out when I get home... Don't really want to end up breaking X while I'm at work... That could be bad ;) [17:00] I have two monitors, how do i enable the other one? [17:00] bazhang: ok...thanks [17:00] billenium : it depends on the video card you have [17:00] 8800GT [17:01] I already did it on Windows Vista, now im just trying to find out how to do it on ubuntu. [17:01] billenium-- hook it up and reboot [17:01] well, then install the restricted drivers from NVIDIA and g oto system -> administration -> NVIDIA X Server Settings [17:01] bazhang: ah okay no worries then. The iptables part is okay i think, just marking packets. Its the ingress qdisc with police fw that is not working, i've read through all the lartc.org pages and guides and used the examples to build my script [17:01] hmm restricted drivers? [17:01] ya [17:01] I thought i already installed all the drivers [17:01] yup. you should see a notification in your notification area. [17:01] sys\admin\restricted drivers [17:02] so, I'm trying to attach a secondary monitor on to which I'd like to extend my desktop. are there any tutorials for this? [17:02] hoonteke : again, it depends on the card. [17:02] Okay well i cant find nvidia x Server Settings.... [17:02] hoonteke: It should (should is the operative word here) be as simple as plugging in the monitor and then clicking system ->preferences -> screen resolution and enabling the other monitor [17:03] hoonteke: One thing though, I don't think compiz plays nicely with an extended desktop [17:03] unavailable: im getting the error "config.status: creating makefile.conf" "make: *** [all] error 2" [17:03] Is there something wrong with the command ping in HH? [17:03] billenium-- sys\admin\synap\ install nvidia settings manager [17:03] XAVeRY: nVidia, but I can't use the nVidia driver, apparently. My screen just plain doesn't work, goes haywire. [17:03] Ktron, no [17:03] ASULutzy: I agree, but *nix and the XServer appears to not be to that point quite yet. [17:03] hoonteke : well, that's bad. I don't know how to help you, then. [17:04] Ktron : what do you mean "wrong"? [17:04] billenium : sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [17:04] Any suggestions? I've got a list of like 100+ packages which may have many dependencies (ie. I list packages which don't need to be listed as they're dependencies for something else in the list). I'd like to find a tool to help me slim that list down... === sdfljerlktnfdlsn is now known as yakobmatix_ [17:04] hoonteke: Again, depends on the card. On my laptop I have a junky integrated intel card and getting my extended desktop working was simple. I just had to add a virtual line to my xorg.conf and plug it in and it was good to go [17:04] hello folks [17:05] is there a postgresql 8.2.6 binary package for Ubuntu still there? [17:05] hi eurufulus [17:05] hmm. alright. So i can't use the stock nv driver or whatever the default is on hardy with my nvidia card (i don't see the 'nv' driver I use to see in older version of ubuntu in the xorg.conf file)? I have to use their binary driver? [17:05] hoonteke: You need to use the nvidia driver though IMO. The vesa driver is no good when you've got a good graphics card. Have you tried using EnvyNG to install your video drivers? [17:05] hoonteke: Wait, are you using an nvidia driver or the vesa software driver, I'm confused now [17:06] anirudh0, XAVeRY, it takes an abnormal amount of time between pings, it doesn't respond to Ctrl-C very well... [17:06] folks [17:06] I need to downgrade postgresql from 8.2.7 to 8.2.6 on Ubuntu [17:06] eurufulus: then you'll need to compile it from source most likely.. [17:06] ASULutzy: I'm *not* using the binary "non-free" nVidia drivers. [17:06] Ktron : everything's alright here. don't know how to help you, then. [17:06] Ktron: Hmm, I don't see that sort of error [17:06] eurufulus, you'll probably either need to get it from the Gutsy repos or roll your own.. [17:06] hoonteke: You should use the non-free ones [17:06] ASULutzy: checking out EnvyNG now. [17:07] XAVeRY, ASULutzy, curious, does yahoo.com respond to ping for you? [17:07] hoonteke: Envy works pretty well, and it's never hosed my system [17:07] After i get into NVIDIA X SERVER SETTINGS, what do i do? [17:07] yes, perfectly. [17:07] envy works great [17:07] Ktron: No, yahoo.com doesn't, but www.yahoo.com does [17:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805199 <-- I have a slight difficulty setting up inbound traffic shaping, i'm using iptables to mark packets and send them down appropriate ingress qdiscs but it seems to not work [17:07] Ktron : maybe it's an issue with your DNS? does pinging IP addresses work ok? [17:08] billenium-- xplain [17:08] IS there a way to change, through menus how a system authenticateS? [17:08] Ktron: I'm guessing you meant that, but if you can't ping like www.google.com or something like that, it's most likely something with DNS [17:08] such as if i want to authenticate through LDAP [17:08] ASULutzy: I can't. When I try to install it via the gui, I have to revert every time because the screen gets green and white criss-cross lines/dots. and is not at all usable. [17:08] :( [17:08] billenium : choose "X Server Display Configuration". it should detect your screen and allow you to configure xorg.conf in a way that enables you to use it. [17:08] XAVeRY, yes, it does! Ah, so the DNS is screwed up [17:08] there you go. :) [17:08] hello somebody can help me? [17:09] SheikPunk, ask your question first. [17:09] Ktron: Can you ping www.yahoo.com and not yahoo.com (I just want to make sure you are trying to ping the right thing :P) [17:09] my ubuntu cd dont boot on my laptop [17:09] ASULutzy, google.com, www.yahoo.com work, yahoo.com doesn't, and I'll look into fixing the DNS now (its in house), thanks [17:09] Ktron: Yea DNS [17:09] SheikPunk, set in bios [17:09] bazhang: how? [17:09] SheikPunk-- burn @ slower speed... check bios make cd rom bootable [17:09] SheikPunk : it depends on your BIOS. [17:10] lol [17:10] is it PhoenixBIOS? [17:10] SheikPunk: Yea, set your CD to boot in BIOS, or alternatively usually you can just mash f8 and it will bring up a "boot from" menu, and you should select cd [17:10] its possible [17:10] SheikPunk: I'm a fan of just mashing f8 [17:10] scunizi: is it in the Gutsy repos? [17:10] I'm a fan of just mashing [17:10] yes [17:10] lol [17:10] in which repo could i find the postgresql 8.2.6 package folks? [17:10] eurufulus, might be.. someone here might be able to give you the link.. [17:11] XAVeRY-- is 1 speedy cat [17:11] XAVeRY: phoenix [17:11] IS there a way to change, through menus how a system authenticates its users? in fedora there is a drop down menu called "Authentication" [17:11] scunizi: I really need that. [17:11] eurufulus, check packages.ubuntu.com [17:11] From this menu you can change the authentication method to LDAP or NIS. [17:11] SheikPunk : then hit F12 after powering up the laptop, pop in your disc, and choose "CDROM" in the menu. [17:11] in which section of packages should I find [17:11] I cant find the "databases" subtree [17:11] eurufulus, google with me [17:12] scunizi: i am dude, belive me.

[17:32] anirudh0, alright thanks for the heads up [17:32] Thundarr, downloaded from where [17:32] esteth: btw, ubuntu .deb packages are: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [17:32] the reason I want to install it is because I cannot see shares(files) on my windows systems [17:33] I downloaded it from samba.org [17:33] Thundarr, you should install it from the repositories [17:33] Thudarr: sudo apt-get install samba [17:33] Thundarr* [17:33] ok a repository [17:34] !software | Thundarr [17:34] Thundarr: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [17:34] is there some trick to seeing shares(folders) on my windows systems [17:34] when I go to network... [17:34] Thundarr: Did you install Samba? [17:34] ? [17:34] I can see the name of my windows network [17:35] and I can see the systems on the network [17:35] hello world ! [17:35] have they fixed the ata cdrom bug they had in 8.04? [17:35] hello Cminus [17:35] but I cannot see any shared files on the windows systems. [17:35] no I have not installed samba [17:35] course, even if they did fix it, i doubt they'd make newly patched isos [17:35] youhooo ubuntu's getting amazing these days [17:35] Thundarr: are the permissions ok [17:36] how can i program c plus plus in ubuntu [17:36] each windows system can share files with one another [17:36] I have been sharing files between those systems for month [17:37] whats the difference between the xv x11 gl output settings in mplayer, which one should i use in ubuntu? [17:37] months [17:37] I throwing myself into the programming pool... a first toe in a cold water... is there anyone I could ask about Kdevelop ? [17:37] ~build-essentials [17:37] but my ubuntu system( the one I am currently using) cannot see any files on any of those system [17:37] systems [17:37] chamuscas... download the Kdevelop pacjage 1 [17:37] Thundarr: Please run: sudo aptitude install smbfs [17:37] tank you [17:38] ok Pici....I will try it not [17:38] now [17:38] Cminus, does it use directx or opengl [17:38] running ubuntu 7.04. I have a logitech usb headset that's been working before, but I've forgotten how to set it up so that the sound system recognizes it. [17:38] bad Intel driver -_- [17:38] Hi. I'm tarring ~30 GB of data over a USB bus. Is it normal for this to tak like 20 hours (I'm not exaggerating)? [17:38] compiz doesn't run anymore [17:38] chamuscas... ummm no idea, I have just installed it myself ;) [17:39] hi i have been tring to make a dvd slideshow from my jpegs but manslide and mandvd both crash in tranlastion [17:39] chamuscas... any change to keep in tuch with you regarding c/c++ ? [17:40] cminus, Sry i didn't understad the questions [17:40] I am a beginner but I feel we could exchange a few infos in the near future ? [17:40] grr [17:40] it don't help, [17:40] how do you edit the lxde menu? [17:40] chamuscas... I meant: "any chance" [17:40] Luig1: That doesn't sound that unreasonable considering its 30GB over USB [17:40] i download it [17:41] and it don't work on my Teamp Speak And My Mp3 player at the same time [17:41] anyone here use 8.04 with a dell insp 15**? === Fallen[oqp] is now known as Fallenou [17:41] oldenglish, wth? 30 GB over USB 20 hours ? [17:41] no way! [17:41] wondering how well ubuntu copes with dell's cheap wifi cards [17:41] Team Speak* [17:41] mortal1: I use an e1505 [17:41] O, oldenglish, I'll just be patient then. I was just wondering, since that much has taken less than two hours locally before. [17:41] mortal1: find out what card it uses and searc the HCL. [17:41] Luig1, that's not normal..... [17:42] Cminus, well yeh i think but i just have to say that i'm going to star right now programing [17:42] I guess you use USB 2.0, don't you ? [17:42] Yes. [17:42] Does anyone know how to compile/run a program with Kdevelop ? [17:42] thanks Pici but it still did not help [17:42] dose any one no about man slide [17:42] Luig1, are you tarring or tarballing? [17:42] Where are you moving the data? [17:43] hello everybody [17:43] Luig1: I don't really know, you should listen to others more on this one :) [17:43] with latest openoffice update, as I open oowriter it crashes [17:43] I can see the windows network, the name of the system but I cannot see any files on any of the systems [17:43] Luig1, tarballing will take time...depending on the quality of compression [17:43] Anirudh0: Tarring for now. The balling part hasn't even come yet. [17:43] No I haven't manage to fix my Wireless Broadcom slow transfert rate problem. [17:43] Thundarr u using the right password?? [17:43] I guess i have to install samba [17:43] Luig1, tarring should be practically instantaneous [17:43] is there a way I can edit/modify files from within gedit such that I can "sudo" them rather than launching gedit as root and/or changing ownership of files? [17:43] the systems should not need a password [17:43] tripps: no [17:44] Luig1, since all it does is put a whole bunch of files together [17:44] thundarr you just trying to access the share? [17:44] wols_, thanks. seems that would be a very handy feature [17:44] when i connect to the windows systems from another windows system it does not ask for a password [17:44] Luig1, its the "balling", specially if you use bunzip instead of gunzip, that takes time [17:44] hello [17:44] yes I just want access a share [17:44] Thundarr: cause it uses the (local) password and if it works since both have the same: it works. [17:45] there is any program to ubuntu to do remote desk connection [17:45] also, windows remembers passwords for samba shares [17:45] to win2k [17:45] Luig1, are you using usb 1.0? [17:45] anirudh0: That's what I thought. You see, my computer became unbootable so I went in through LiveCD and am trying to back up all (alll, including system files) of my stuff to a cheap external hard disk drive. [17:45] Thundarr: are the file shares permission set to everyone [17:45] bruno: yes. what remote access software is running on win2k? [17:45] ffs [17:45] if you mean a shared folder on the windows systems...then yess [17:45] bruno: vnc ^^ [17:45] bruno: ssh, rdp, vnc. [17:45] yes they are set for full access [17:45] Luig1, look at cpio then..better than tar for your purpose [17:45] but I will check that out [17:45] they are shared folders [17:46] is there a way to easily add a user to a group from the commandline? [17:46] thundarr the reason i am asking is because when i go to a local box on my network, i can see share, c$ admin$ and print$ i can see share without password (except one to mount) but i have to supply admin credintals on respective box to access admin$ and c$ [17:46] anirudh0: I bought the PC about a year ago, and I bought the external HDD this week, so everything should be happening in USB 2. [17:46] swhitt: addgroup [17:46] swhitt, usermod [17:46] Hi [17:46] Luig1: don't "should". CHECK [17:46] Hi, does anyone know why Ubuntu is suddenly stuck down in 640x480 (NVidia) and won't go any higher? [17:46] Please help me to build my desktop [17:46] lee_: check your X logs [17:46] Luig1, a simple cp -arv might be as fast [17:46] !kde4 [17:46] KDE 4.0.4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.4.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [17:46] wols_: where are they? [17:46] wols_: I'm not sure how to do that...

[17:47] unavailable..I have never had to do that with a windows based system [17:47] Any body know how? [17:47] wols_: which logs in particular? [17:47] but I do understand what you are saying [17:47] Luig1, tarring does;nt save space anyway [17:47] the site don't work with this, i did every thing that there is [17:47] thundarr well, you cannot see c$ or admin$ using a windows based system [17:47] LinuxRevo: Try putting your message on a single line. [17:47] Luig1, plug in drive..check dmesg|tail [17:47] wols_: what should I look for in it? [17:47] Is there a reverse for grep? Like "cat myfile | grep -reverse blabla", and it should show every line which does NOT contain "blabla"? [17:48] lee_: errors [17:48] anirudh0: Well, I have plenty of space. I wasn't planning to save it. [17:48] Rabbitbunny: no Theme no Icon and no anything in desktop [17:48] ok that is fine [17:48] wols_: there isn't any errors in it [17:48] eyyYo: yes. man grep [17:48] so I guess I have to install samba [17:48] lee_: where it says 'blank failed', if you see no errors than you're dealing with Bulletproofx [17:48] I tried sudo aptitude install smbfs [17:48] lee_: what drivers do you use? again: check the logs [17:48] and it installs and everything [17:48] um [17:49] Thundarr: so you're done if all you want is to mount remote shres [17:49] * spike__ going to be here and waits [17:49] Luig1, cp -arv has the advantage that you actually see what is being copied..hence you can figure out what the bottleneck is [17:49] spike__: that won't solve your problem [17:49] wols_: nvidia-glx-new [17:49] I suddenly lost all of my desktop settings and now can't add any theme [17:49] but I still cannot see any shared folders on the windows systems [17:49] Hi there, what is the command that tells me which devices are being used by which processes? (I believe it's a two letter command, but it's been a while since I've used it.. don't remember anymore) [17:49] thundarr youre using 8.04? [17:49] lee_: http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc [17:49] theres a load of Load Module stuff, and some Nvidia stuff but I dont see anything negative [17:49] yes I am using 8.04 [17:50] wols_: i cant click links here! [17:50] leeping2008: lsof and fuser [17:50] thundarr funny, because i didnt have to do anything special oob to see windows shares [17:50] wols_, thanks :) [17:50] lee_: lee_ kill gdm, startx, read logs. BulletProofX overwrites the log you're looking for. [17:50] um, what did upgrading to heron do to my apache install? now synaptic shows no apache packages installed and init.d apache complains no MPM package installed?? [17:50] Rabbitbunny: ok [17:50] tripps: dpkg -l |grep apache [17:50] vols: default desktop server [17:50] i told u ppl about the pobm i have [17:50] :'( [17:50] they use RDC from windows [17:50] bruno: there is no default rmeote access anything under win2k [17:50] and no did not help other then web site [17:51] wols_, there is [17:51] bruno: then use an rdp client [17:51] hi, i've just booted from a live USB stick, and want to install ubuntu over my previous distro; but i have stuff i won't want to lose on the hdd..... can't i just leave my current FS intact, manually deleting everything except /home, and then install? === NitDawg is now known as robline [17:51] sorry somhow I got booted from the chat [17:51] but thanks for the help [17:51] anirudh0: win2k by default has no remote access at all. but: OT [17:51] wols_, apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-perl2, libapache2-mod-php5 [17:51] so how do I mount a share [17:51] tripps: install apache2 [17:51] wols_, xp!=2k?

[17:52] I even renamed my workgroup [17:52] Thundarr: smbclient -L [17:52] wols_, why did they get removed? [17:52] Rabbitbunny: it's Xorg.0.log, right? [17:52] still same thing [17:52] wols_, thanks you, but I cant seem to find anything about it in the manpages :/ [17:52] spike__, that's pretty normal [17:52] lee_: Yes. [17:52] ok [17:52] tripps: no clue [17:52] i need gtk for googledesk - thougth i had it , what do i need to install? [17:52] Teamspeak uses deprecated OSS [17:52] eyyYo: look harder it is there [17:52] ? how so [17:52] so your soundcard is blocked [17:52] spike__: you need to wrap teamspeak in aoss: run "aoss teamspeak" [17:52] Ahri, for gods sake [17:52] how [17:52] that gives BAD SOUND [17:52] spike__, i recommend you emulating the windows version using wine [17:52] ;) [17:53] justme: yeah, it does === tshine is now known as tshine|afk [17:53] i can't use wine it [17:53] tripps: If you ddn't have "apache2" installed (you can still have apache installed without the metapackage), that could've happened [17:53] thundarr you should be able to go to places, network and it should mount automatically [17:53] it like Stops [17:53] * zSoilworker Read Between The Lies · On The Wings Of Phoenix - Symbyosis [17:53] zSoilworker: Please turn that off [17:53] Flannel, I most certainly did have apache2 installed tho [17:53] zSoilworker, turn off that script [17:53] and don't run the Team Speakand the Other to [17:53] linuxrevo: in which way would you get this help? [17:53] Rabbitbunny: there's an error from NVIDIA about not being able to get an ID for CRT-1 [17:53] spike__: maybe you can use murmer/mumble instead? [17:53] EDID* [17:54] eh? [17:54] lee_: pastebin the log and your xorg.conf [17:54] it's an alternative to teamspeak [17:54] has anyone gottne googledesk top to work on 8.04? [17:54] lee_: or try to change res with xrandr [17:54] this totally sucks. I had custom modules written for apache, rewrite scripts and settings, now nothing works. what a pain in the ass [17:54] wols_: ill go pastebin [17:54] i think murmer is the server, and mumble is the client -- look it up on wikipedia [17:54] but is there a way to make all apps work all in one sound card at the same time? [17:54] lee_: Cool, now you can ask a more intelligent question or search the forums. I have no idea how to fix a nvidia. Sin'ce you're on the CLI you'll need to install lynx as a www browser. [17:54] spike__: yes [17:54] maybe it's spelt murmur actually :) [17:55] how? i install taht thing and it did not work [17:55] you need a software mixer [17:55] i have Asla [17:55] thundarr and if you cannot hit the network, make sure your workgroup is the same as windows' (although mine isnt and im still able to hit every box on both workgroups wifi and corded) [17:55] wols_: teamspeak only supports oss....... [17:55] Ahri: and? [17:55] you [17:55] 're going to have to give a lot more depth [17:55] does valgrind come preinstalled? [17:56] jordan__: no [17:56] unavailable....how do I change the name of my network on my ubuntu box [17:56] well what good is it [17:56] . [17:56] what Mixer can i get? [17:56] Thundarr: ubuntu doesn't really care about that as a client [17:56] to match the windows systems [17:56] Thundarr: nor is it necessary [17:57] www.pardus.org.tr/eng [17:57] http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng [17:57] ok [17:57] its great that it not necessary but I cannot see any shared docs on my windows systems [17:58] so.... any hints on how to install ubuntu from a live usb, without mkfs'ing my hdd? i already have a perfectly good fs sat there [17:58] and I don't understand why [17:58] wols, what Mixer do i need? [17:58] Luig1, there? [17:58] what package do i need to install to have gtk on my system? [17:58] I have Asla Mixer [17:58] mount -o loop "filename with spaces" /dev/cdrom0 should work right? [17:58] Luig1, what happened? [17:58] anirudh0: yes [17:58] http://www.pastebin.com/d2439491e [17:58] dan_: none. ubuntu has it installed by default. gnome doesn't work otherwise [17:58] bXi, if fs is iso [17:58] I give up, the lastest intel drivers don't work [17:59] lee_: unknown post ID [17:59] damn! [17:59] ok google wont install because it cant find it - how ot i get i hooked up ? [17:59] bXi, and you need to specify the mount point as well [17:59] anirudh0, in dmesg there were several references to high- and full-speed USB devices, does that say anything? [17:59] thundarr all that info is in system > administration > network General tab, but as many have said, it isnt needed in linux [17:59] Luig1, that is good [17:59] The-Seiman: for compiz? there are some G965 chipsets without proper linux support since intel fucked up. they're to stupid to do a proper vga chipset [17:59] someone knows if Ubuntu will release a .deb package with the latest intel drivers ? [17:59] thanks for all of your help guys [17:59] Luig1, did you try out cpio or cp -arv? [17:59] um [17:59] I have to go tho [17:59] thanks for trying to help me out [17:59] no cursing wols_ [18:00] dan_: I just told you. you already HAVE IT when you run gnome [18:00] wols_: Watch the language, you should know better. [18:00] The-Seiman, drivers for what? [18:00] wols_: 965GM [18:00] The-Seiman-- google that statement [18:00] anirudh0: I'm terrified to stop tar from doing its work, since all the progress made so far would be lost. I'll try them later :-( [18:00] then why wotn google desk top find i t? [18:00] dan_: tell us the error.exact error [18:00] Luig1, hmm...next time pass the -v option to tar..so you know whats happening [18:01] anirudh0: thank you so much for all your help so far, though! [18:01] dan_, permissions? [18:01] i am getting a speicfi error whin i try to instoal [18:01] because Intel said that optimized drivers for i965 will come this month [18:01] configure: WARNING: Neither gtk host nor qt host will be built !!! [18:01] Nothing can be used to run Google Gadgets for Linux. [18:01] dan_: since you compile you need the -dev package for gtk [18:01] !compile | dan_ [18:01] dan_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [18:01] so, I want to know if Ubuntu will release a .deb package [18:01] i thought there were debs for google gadgets [18:01] oh..ok [18:02] The-Seiman: not for hardy I'd guess [18:02] anirudh0: filename with spaces is an iso file in this case and /dev/cdrom0 is the mount point [18:02] thanks [18:02] anirudh0: I would have, but I'm using the graphical interface (gnome's Archive Manager.) It tells me what file it's working on, but I mostly just see long alphanumeric codes, so I'm not sure what it's doing exactly. [18:02] wols_: okay :'( [18:02] bXi, /dev/cdrom0 is device name..mount point should be a folder [18:02] is there any way to fix my issue of only being able to have one sound 'system' running at one time, like i cant play music from amarok and a youtube vid running at the same time. Rule applies with some games too [18:02] bXi: /dev/cdrom0 is NO mountpoint [18:02] wols: but they promised that it will be much faster than the actual driver [18:02] The-Seiman: and? [18:03] well, the 3D games will run faster :p [18:03] * anirudh0 wishes people did'nt get angry so easily [18:03] The-Seiman: doesn't explain why ubuntu should update a released distro. wait for ubuntu+1 [18:03] b4l7424r, use what ever works best with your GPU [18:03] thundarr did you upgrade or clean install 8.04? [18:03] anirudh0-- folks are now a days easily angered.. [18:03] oh noes [18:04] Xcell, they should teach zen in schools [18:04] anirudh0-- agreed.. folks are not kind anymore. [18:04] wols_: well, I just thought that ubuntu should update just his intel drivers [18:05] anirudh0: oh my bad that should be /media/cdrom0 [18:05] wols_: but in the update manager i don't find them :-/ [18:05] The-Seiman, wait for a while [18:05] bXi: btw filename\ with\ spaces.iso works too [18:05] I'm need help with my xorg.conf. I made some changes to get my mouse working, but now my mouse stops working if I unplug it and re-plug it or if I don't have it plugged in when I start x. [18:05] The-Seiman: just because you think ubuntu should do something doesn't make it so. read again what I told you [18:06] wols_: i know that [18:06] but i dont want to replace stuff if i dont have to in my code :) [18:06] lmosher-- xpand [18:06] so no one knows how to fix the issue of not being able to have 2 sound systems running at once? :'( [18:07] wraund, two sound systems? [18:07] anirudh0: like i cant have amarok playing music and play a game at the same time [18:07] claiming things like 'cant connect to sound server' [18:07] or just not playing any sound : [18:07] :/* [18:07] wraund-- the fix is in.. in 30 days [18:07] wraund, that is, unfortunately, a problem with amarok..2.0 should solve it [18:07] :) [18:08] Xcell, I was trying to get my mouse wheel tilt buttons to work, and it wasn't with the default 'mouse' driver no matter what I tried. I followed suggestions and started using the "evdev" driver, but as I said if I unplug the mouse it won't work if I replug it. [18:08] lmosher-- being 8.04 is new.. i suggest imwheel.. visit that site and read 1rst [18:09] anirudh0: ok :P [18:09] ok got apache running (had to install prefork instead of worker), but php files come up with dialog box asking what to do with files of type php. dpkg shows libapache2-mod-php5 is installed [18:09] anirudh0: im on 1.4 atm :P [18:09] Xcell, Visit imwheel site? [18:09] yes.. google the imwheel [18:09] maybe somebody can tell me [18:09] why are only Ubuntu versions > 6.10 vulnerable to the OpenSSL Security Hole ? [18:10] I have a problem with my Maxtor One Touch External Hard Drive [18:10] justme, botched update [18:10] anirudh0, ? [18:10] tripps: ae2nmod php5 [18:10] Anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to create new folders in a samba share in which I have permissions to do so when it is mapped on a windows machine?? [18:10] it is CLONING itself on my desktop. [18:10] hi, I'm using 8.04 AMD64 bit, a computer with 2gb of RAM & AMD dual core +4200. My graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce 6150 + nForce 430. when I switch to use visual effects (normal or extra) - my computer is extremely slow. Can I fix it? [18:10] what do you mean with "botched update" ?

You've never heard someone say "What the freak?" [18:30] biff_tannen, one sec [18:30] I think that apt-file doesn't work in dapper, because dapper apt repositories don't have Contents-$arch.gz files. [18:30] hi everyone [18:30] Does that make sense? [18:30] Scunizi: Thank you for your help [18:31] anirudh0: cool [18:31] arggh!!!!! WTF did ubuntu throw out all my files/settings/programs? installed php-pear but no DB.php and other files that have always been with PEAR libs. what gives? [18:31] Is it that back when dapper was produced, the Ubuntu folks didn't produce such Contents-$arch.gz files? [18:31] i have a ntfs partition with windows xp in /dev/sda3 and I'd like to edit my GRUB menu.lst accordindly but it can't make it work ... do I have to use the "map" command? [18:31] JonathanEllis: knowingly going into a channel and asking OT questions where you know it's OT, is always rude to the people there. no matter how polite the question itself is [18:31] rockstar, ok wtf back then [18:31] wols_: basically I popped in the SD card... and I clicked "Places" then "SD Card" and I have it mounted on my desktop. [18:31] JonathanEllis: since you waste other people's time [18:31] hey tripps watch it son [18:31] afallenhope: come back when you can do what I asked you [18:31] oops sorry [18:31] If that's the case then there will be no way for me to get apt-file working on dapper.

[18:36] anirudh0: agreed [18:36] Falling-Inferno: if your pictures were *really* important, unplug the drive and take it to a data recovery expert [18:36] wols_, I did note during the upgrade that at the last step it asked me if I wanted to remove all the suggested programs and there were dozens if not 100+ such programs (presumably including all these). I came in here to ask if that meant it was removing duplicate, upgraded files, or orphaned (which they were apparently) files. I was told the former, hence I said ok. Hence it removed them all. Obviously not the correct behavior. [18:36] anirudh0, this channel is too busy for offtopic comments - it is for support _only_ [18:36] afallenhope: mount -o remount,rw [18:37] anirudh0: any thoughts on why this might eb [18:37] Falling-Inferno, also look at recover.sourceforge.net [18:37] Is their a command that I can run that will tell me the strength of my WiFi connection?

[18:37] i wish to download firefox 3 and count that download into the world record attempt. but if i download it then install it over my current installation that means its going to 'break' the package manager right? what should i do then, since i want firefox 3 as soon as it's out? [18:37] wols_, it will show the strength of the connection? [18:37] !dapper [18:37] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [18:37] Hey ppl. I need to install windows and ubuntu on the same machine, and I want to be able to access the windows partition, what is best to create for windows installation that will be best readable by ubuntu, fat or ntfs? [18:38] tripps: try installing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [18:38] elmer, look at iwlist [18:38] biff_tannen, type sudo mount -vt auto /dev/ ..check device using ls /dev/sd* [18:38] tripps: or kubuntu-desktop, if you use kubuntu [18:38] zooko: it's the security updates for dapper. which should exist: dapper is still in support [18:38] Its unplugged, I deleted my dad's files! and hes in IRAQ. I got 1 year to get them back or untill my mom finds out! [18:38] natalisushka, fat [18:38] natalisushka: ubuntu by default, will read NTFS [18:38] anirudh0: 2 secs [18:38] Falling-Inferno, :) [18:38] wols_: the Contents-$arch.gz file does not exist. [18:38] Falling-Inferno: I told you what to do [18:38] Nor in Hardy, I notice. [18:38] anirudh0, Why? [18:38] Chousuke, kind of shy to try that now that I'm getting things back the way they were ;) [18:38] IndyGunFreak, SO is there a difference? [18:39] choudesh, I am confused. Would it be like this: "iwlist wlan0 power"? [18:39] So I infer that the version of apt-file which comes with dapper (universe) doesn't know how Ubuntu organizes its apt repos. [18:39] natalisushka, linux has problems with permissions on ntfs [18:39] natalisushka: what do you mean is there a difference? [18:39] tripps: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that depends on all the standard ubuntu packages [18:39] anirudh0: it does?.. i've had no permission issues at all. [18:39] IndyGunFreak, I mean in the way ubuntu read both [18:39] tripps: it's a good way to get them all installed if you somehow uninstalled everything [18:39] natalisushka: yes, ubuntu will read/write both [18:39] So I'll go for fat. [18:39] Hiya, how do you rest your window chrome? Mine has disappeared. [18:39] IndyGunFreak, you cant set permissions on a file on a ntfs partition..atleast with ntfs-3g [18:39] Chousuke, does that include apache2, etc.? [18:39] tripps: no [18:40] elmer, just man it - or look at iwconfig Signal Power [18:40] wols_: afallenhope@afh:~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sb1 [18:40] mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [18:40] tripps: apache2 is not part of the default install [18:40] anirudh0: you don't need ntfs-3g in Hardy [18:40] IndyGunFreak, problem is not r/w..permissions are a differnet issue [18:40] Chousuke, and that's where I'm having the problem [18:40] IndyGunFreak, i know :) [18:40] anirudh0: ..so [18:40] choudesh, I like this: iwconfig wlan0 | grep Link [18:40] tripps: so your apache2 got deinstalled? [18:40] <_ZeuZ_> is there any tool for KDE4 to manage the battery and the current power scheme? [18:40] tripps: just reinstall it? :) [18:40] Chousuke, it's almost like during the upgrade it removed everything that _wasn't_ in the desktop metapackage [18:40] afallenhope: according to your mount output earlier it does [18:40] tripps: well that shouldn't happen [18:40] !info kbattery [18:40] Package kbattery does not exist in hardy [18:40] now how do I run it once a second =/ [18:40] IndyGunFreak, you do need ntfs-3g [18:41] anirudh0: i dont have itl. [18:41] tripps: using any non-ubuntu repos? [18:41] !firefox3 [18:41] !battery [18:41] Chousuke, yes I reinstalled it and dozens of other files that I needed for my config. that included many customized files I'm having to diff, etc. serious pain. [18:41] IndyGunFreak, check which mount.ntfs..then do a file /sbin/mount.ntfs [18:41] Also, for some reason, Ubuntu is telling me I need to reinstall all the upgrade updates again. Anyone have any ideas why? [18:41] IndyGunFreak, anirudh0 said linux has problems with permissions on ntfs .. but you said it can read both .. so where is the problem? I remember that was a problem a couple of years ago (problems with permissions) did that change? [18:41] !info kismet [18:41] IndyGunFreak, it is there..under the hood [18:41] <_ZeuZ_> wols_ seems like there's nothing for KDE4 and battery ^_^ [18:41] wols_: mount: block device /dev/sdb1 is write-protected, mounting read-only [18:41] Firefox 3 beta 5 is in hardy, and will get updated, because the firefox 2 branch will be unsupported before the support cycle for Ubuntu Hardy finishes. [18:41] Factoid battery not found [18:41] kismet (source: kismet): Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2007-10-R1-2build1 (hardy), package size 946 kB, installed size 2480 kB [18:41] afallenhope: there you have it [18:41] is there something like autostart for fluxbox? [18:41] Chousuke, I don't believe so. medibuntu and maybe ugly repos [18:41] natalisushka, read/write.and permissions are seperate [18:41] wols_: so... I'm pretty well screwed? [18:41] _ZeuZ_: kde4 is for _developers_ only. not for users like you === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude [18:41] anirudh0: all i know, is i have no probs w/ my ntfs partitions. [18:41] natalisushka, linux can read/write..linux cannot set permissions [18:42] <_ZeuZ_> wols_ :D [18:42] afallenhope: remove the write protection [18:42] IndyGunFreak, thats the good part :) [18:42] !info power [18:42] Package power does not exist in hardy [18:42] <_ZeuZ_> I'm brave, and I've allready reported 4 plasma issues [18:42] elmer, link gives quality (factoring in errored packets and what not), signal gives RSSI (recieve signal strength) [18:42] tripps: anyway, that really shouldn't happen. But since I don't know what exactly you did, all I can say is good luck fixing it :/ [18:42] wols_: I'm not sure on how to do that. sorry. [18:42] IndyGunFreak, evrything except chmod will work fine [18:42] anirudh0, Oh I see! well .. I think fat it is [18:42] Chousuke, no only basic sources. canonical and multiverse, etc. [18:42] hola [18:42] <_ZeuZ_> (I beleave everyone is reporting those errors) [18:42] afallenhope: since I don't own your card, me neither [18:42] ola [18:42] <_ZeuZ_> river: si hablas espa;ol, anda a #ubuntu-es [18:42] Chousuke, should I file a bug? something went very wrong for sure [18:42] _ZeuZ_, kubuntu packages? [18:42] Hey does anyone here have any idea how to remap the keyboard for Ctrl key presses? For example if i press Ctrl-C I want it changed to Ctrl-Z while if I press the key unmodified I get the letter remaining C. I can't seem to figure out how to achive this reading up on xkb and xmodmap [18:42] anirudh0: well why would i need to chmod something on my NTFS partition? [18:42] choudesh, Ah. I see. Well they're both on the same line so they both show up [18:42] ok gracias [18:42] Chousuke, shouldn't there be a log of the upgrade? [18:42] word is hardy-proposed has the final release of Firefox 3 ahead of schedule... can anyone confirm or deny? [18:43] tripps: I don't know. [18:43] tripps: you might file a bug, though [18:43] lol.. ahead of schedual [18:43] IndyGunFreak: you can't [18:43] 2 funny [18:43] elmer, raw vales are in /proc/sys/net/wireless [18:43] tripps: doesn't hurt [18:43] IndyGunFreak, the lack of chmod support means, for instance, that a ntfs drive cant be /home [18:43] elmer, errr, /proc/net/wireless [18:43] wols_: i know, my point is, why would you need to? [18:43] choudesh, thanks [18:43] when I try to unmountit I get: umount: /media/disk: device is busy [18:43] IndyGunFreak: that is moot since you can't [18:43] anirudh0: why would you want an ntfs partition to be home? [18:43] <_ZeuZ_> how can I see what frecuency is my processor clocked at now? [18:43] IndyGunFreak, why not [18:43] Xcell: release date is supposed to be the 17th [18:43] wols.useful link...thanks [18:43] afallenhope: then something is using it somewhere. lsof [18:43] chrols, man xmodmap [18:43] ah [18:43] afallenhope: that means something is keeping files on the drive open [18:44] ok [18:44] hi, could someone with firefox confirm that the picture on about: says version 1.9 (and not 3.0) ? [18:44] wols.useful link...thanks... [18:44] IndyGunFreak, ideally i should be able to choose any filesystem [18:44] wols.useful link...thanks... [18:44] wols.useful link...thanks... [18:44] hello [18:44] anirudh0: you're not making any sense, so i'll just drop this [18:44] net: stop that! [18:44] como voy a ubunto es? [18:44] wols , useful link...thanks... [18:44] So yeah, how do I reset my window chrome, the bit with the buttons for closing, minimising windows etc etc [18:44] anyone here with an samsung r45?

[18:44] one of the MAJOR suggestions for upgrades is to have a "transaction rollback" feature in case an upgrade goes horribly wrong that exactly goes to prior state. wouldn't be that hard to do. don't know why it hasn't been done.

[18:45] Ill say this.. ff3.. is extremely fast.. puts opera to shame... good job mozilla. [18:45] my keyboard doesn't work in wine :( [18:45] nvm [18:45] lol [18:45] anirudh0: i understand you can't answer a question [18:45] Xcell, fast and memory effiecient [18:45] anirudh0: you are. [18:46] anirudh0: however, NTFS is not very well supported [18:46] Xcell, i did a javascript sunspider benchmark of opera 9.5 vs firefox rc3 ..rc3 is indeed faster on the entire test by 5seconds [18:46] opera needs some linux help... lol [18:46] IndyGunFreak, :)..and i understand you cant understand an answer...so i'll drop this [18:46] thank you [18:46] choudesh: Rereading the manpage I can't say I see how I would acheive the effect I wanted [18:46] Xcell, considering when then entire test takes 8.5 cpu seconds on firefox and 13 cpu seconds on opera 9.5 [18:46] Chousuke, which is what i was trying to tell him in the first place :) [18:46] hey.. if opera had no script.. ff would starve [18:47] Ah: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-file/+bug/181312 [18:47] Launchpad bug 181312 in apt-file "Please provide Contents-ARCH.gz for all sources" [Wishlist,Invalid] [18:47] chrols, xmodmap -e 'keycode 111=F1' would remap keycode 111 to F1 [18:47] anirudh0: using NTFS for /home would be stupid though. [18:47] and i can't get vimperator in opera so i don [18:47] there's a thunderstorm going on at my house, and I'm trying to tarball 30gb of data from an unbootable computer to an external HDD. Will the filesystems (ext3 on the unbootable computer, ext2 on the external HDD) become corrupted if the power goes out? [18:47] i don't use opera [18:47] anirudh0: since it's not very well supported, and chmod doesn't really work for it. [18:47] Luig1, no [18:47] Although I don't see why it is invalid. [18:47] How do I list files in a package? [18:47] * anirudh0 sighs [18:47] Luig1, only if you were using xfs would you have to worry about something like that [18:47] check [18:47] Luig1: ext2 might [18:48] how do you copy a folder? sudo cp -r? [18:48] Luig1: ext3 should be fine [18:48] When I remove my USB mouse, the entry dissapears in /dev/input/by-id/, but when I plug it in again, it doesn't come back. My mouse's function depends on this listing, any ideas? [18:48] gonzzor, deb-view ? [18:48] wols , sorry ..my xchat was stuck and not shows anything for some time ..thats why sorry once again [18:48] afallenhope: just cp -r [18:48] deb-gview ? [18:48] afallenhope: that is, if you have read access [18:48] choudesh: Yes, but the keycode remains the same regardless wherever the Ctrl key is pressed or not, atleast that's what I'm getting with xev [18:48] afallenhope: cp -r. Only use sudo cp -r if you need root access to do it [18:48] Ok, thanks everyone! [18:48] hi, I wish to report a bug for a page in wiki.u.c, do I post it under ubuntu-website project? [18:48] net_: Yea, it was pretty apparent it was a stuck key [18:48] t35t0r: Not possible in console? [18:49] there was a notch on the card that gave it read/write access.. I didn't know that lol. [18:49] choudesh: I might have been unclear in my question, but I wish the remapping to only occur when the ctrl key is pressed [18:49] hi, do you know a mp3 cutter with a nice front end? [18:49] I always use cp -ax for backing stuff up. If you just use -r you run the risk of copying say, the stuff in /media/ which could be on a whole nother drive [18:49] You want to stay on a single file system generally when backing up [18:50] ASULutzy, hmm...would'nt backing up make more sense from a livecd then [18:50] what groups is my username supposed to be under? like what are the defaults? I really don't want to reinstall. [18:50] ASULutzy, that way you avoid copying spurious entries in /dev [18:50] gonzzor, deb-view is a cli utility i think [18:50] I guess no one knows the answer to my questions? [18:50] never used it i think [18:51] what was your question [18:51] chrols, I see. One sec.

[19:08] choudesh: The effect I wish to achieve is to retain all shortcuts as they are under qwerty while using another keymap for typing [19:08] cameo357: If you've already rewrote the partition table then any old data that was on there is effectively gone. If you just need to repartition a disk, then that's not that hard to do [19:08] Invade1: same way you make a desktop shortcut to anything else? [19:09] cameo357, you are a little short on info. type lots on one line it is easier to follow than little things here and there [19:09] how? [19:09] anirudh0: Do you know if setting the login theme to plain with faces would cause me to not have the option to shutdown or restart my computer? [19:09] quote HELP [19:09] choudesh: So what you are saying is that it can't be solved in software? [19:09] tmptmp: I tried to make a link/launcher but it does not seem to work... [19:09] SERVHELP [19:09] cameo357: Yea, fully explain what happened and what you want to fix/do [19:09] sry trying somthing [19:10] if i want to install on epackage from intrepid on my install what ius the best way of doing that? [19:10] why does Eye of GNOME always display images zoomed at 99% by default? [19:10] I have 27 gigabytes I can't access. [19:10] Invade1: you doubleclick, and nothing happens? [19:10] should i give it a name, like /root [19:10] looked through /var/log/dist-upgrade and see where it removed apache2,etc. and seemed like it would be replaced but never did [19:11] cameo357: I guess the first thing to do would be to check how your drives are actually partitioned. You can find this by doing sudo fdisk -l in a terminal [19:11] ok [19:11] cameo357: That's a lowercase L [19:11] chrols, it can be solved in software - but in a different way - if there is a combo that doesn't have a modifier it look for a keypress and keyrelease [19:11] Hello all! Just one question. What language do I need to learn to make GTK2 apps for ubuntu? [19:11] Invade1: try making a shellscript that executes your command, and place it on the desktop. or do a plain symlink to it on the desktop. [19:12] chrols, so you can have CTRL+PGUP, by looking if CTRL is down and has not been released then PGUP is press [19:12] tmptmp: In my launcher, the command I have written is "/usr/local/games/quake3/ChallengeQuake3.i386". [19:12] asulutzy with fdisk is there a switch -i?? [19:13] asulutzy or -I or -1? [19:13] unavailable: I said sudo fdisk -l, as in lowercase L [19:13] chrols, look @ System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts - this gives a software to do it. Since you don't have a hardware based keyboard where you can add self-defined modifiers you may be out of luck [19:13] chrols, there are software solutions out there but not as low level as xev/xorg [19:13] asulutzy yes and i am merely asking if there is an -i -I or -1 [19:13] asulu it didn't work [19:13] command not found [19:13] choudesh: What sort of solutions? [19:14] unavailable: I don't think there is, but case in point here, people type it wrong and then say command not found [19:14] What language do I need to learn to make GTK2 apps for ubuntu? [19:14] lol [19:14] cameo357: You typed it wrong. sudo fdisk -l [19:14] chrols, not sure. I have a very expensive keyboard. ;-) let me google. [19:14] cameo357: Again, that's a lowercase "L" [19:14] as in lowercase L [19:14] loL [19:15] Darn -- no python-central in dapper. [19:15] fbc> I guess C and after learning that you need to master the GTK + 2.0 tutorial which tells you how to build apps [19:16] * unavailable masters the tut [19:16] okay saw the space got it up, doesn't make sense to me [19:16] fbc: primary C there are bindings for C++ python etc even java [19:16] poor AdamTech1... [19:16] lol [19:16] oops [19:16] wrong chan, sorry [19:16] choudesh: So you're saying it would be possible with your keyboard? Which one would that be? [19:16] what #? [19:17] chrols, hmm - you can use gconf to make shortcut keys to launch applications [19:17] Xcell, you are offtopic [19:17] ok [19:17] did everyone install asterisk before? any good tutorials on that? [19:18] how could I copy the colors profile from one console to my other console in my other box?

Unfortunately I can't really offer you any help as I've never tried to install that particular application inside of Wine [19:22] Is it only me that experience a lot of firefox crashes? :( [19:22] LogiTech, look at the wine appdb - it will tell you what applications can run and at what level [19:22] Im on 7.10.... it rox.. sry [19:22] 8.04 is broke [19:22] LogiTech: Yes, wine doesn't fully support every single application. There are probably similar benchmarking tools that you can find for linux machines [19:22] for 30 days [19:23] Okay, folks, this channel is way too busy for me to keep up.

[19:39] zewb, did you make the flac from the mp3, or the mp3 from the flac? [19:39] zewb: Either you're deaf, or you decided to convert a 128 kbps mp3 into FLAC, which of course is pointless. You need a high quality source, then the difference is clear as day. [19:39] pen supposedly its already installed ... shud i reinstall? [19:39] I have a lot of errors when i boot my system .. what log file will those be located in ? [19:39] the flac came straight from CD [19:39] how do i get 4 desktops? [19:39] Boards of Canada [19:39] zewb: Well, that leaves the option of you being deaf I guess (: [19:40] the mp3 came from a torrent [19:40] ksbalaji, you need to use a live cd, create the partion, move or the data and set the new mount point on /etc/fstab [19:40] zewb, CD is only 160 kbps? or 192 kbps? [19:40] Ktron, CD is crap ^^ [19:40] that's enough said [19:40] :D [19:40] stabbyjoe12: go to the lorwer left hand of ur screen rich click and then prefereence then click 4 coliumns [19:40] if you encode from a CD [19:40] mp3 is best [19:40] FLAC is nonsense for CD [19:40] its not just with this song [19:40] i find flac files all over [19:40] enaner cheers me dears:) [19:41] zewb: This is starting to sound like weak trolling. [19:41] and they never have any noticeable difference in sound quality [19:41] enaner, go to menu system|preference|Advanced desktop effect setting [19:41] the only difference i noticed is that the flac takes up a lot more space [19:41] joaopinto, I want to shift the folder. I do not want to resize the existing partition. I also have XP and once It gave trouble while resizing partition. I want XP untill WINE becomes robust. [19:41] lol zewb [19:41] enaner, look for show desktop icon [19:41] zewb: So don't use FLAC. Problem solved [19:41] pen ok im there [19:41] How can you close tabs in Nautilus?

[19:44] Well because Its just pointless [19:44] justme: It's a bit offtopic, but the fact of the matter is that FLAC is lossless, mp3 is lossy.

[19:45] NewfieLinux: try crossover before you give up [19:45] strange [19:45] turbo_, I already have a partition where I have many linux related matters. I now need to shift home and usr folders from file-system partition. I don't know how to adjust mount point to home/usr there after copying or moving. I feel copying and testing is better than moving. Pl suggest. [19:45] SAGA: You should be able to do that from openoffice. [19:45] how can i convert odf (*.odt) files created by open office to pdf [19:45] SAGA: with OpenOffice [19:45] ooo [19:45] No,I just want to switch [19:45] let me check [19:45] What is crossover? [19:45] hi there, windows overwrote my grub install and when I went to boot the livecd to repair it, its flooding me with thousands of SquashFS errors [19:45] justme: I have almost my entire library in .mp3, but if I were a serious audiophile I would use FLAC for everything, because it's lossless. [19:45] SAGA: File-Export as PDF [19:45] ^^ [19:46] does anyone know if it is possible to change the context menu when I rightclick a file with no filetype?

[19:51] joaopinto, how to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab? can I copy the folder and use the same name i.e.: /usr and /home pl? [19:51] Sonicadvance the ones that are afraid their kid will get too smart and end up limiting their parents use of computers severely? lol [19:51] mhoney: no it doesn't? [19:51] Sonicadvance although the XPS laptop is a gaming laptop the thing gets horribly hot if you game on iot [19:51] -o [19:51] F*** Dell, they need to keep the alienware line the same as it is [19:51] bad for the hardware [19:52] ah, I live in a family where each person has their own PC :P [19:52] gordonjcp: thnx ... do u also prefer deluge?

[19:52] mhoney: time [19:52] much like I did when I was younger lol [19:52] enaner: the good thing is you *can* try all these different things, and pick one you like [19:52] gordonjcp but newer notebooks like XPS M1530 and acer 5920 are for gaming...they can even run crysis on medium quality.. [19:53] mhoney: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Time: No such file or directory [19:53] biff: try this "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt -o force" [19:53] right now i'm running kernel 2.6.24-16, update manager is offering to install 2.6.24-18, if I do install 2.6.24-18, if I do install, will there be an option to boot 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.24-18 from the grub boot loader, or will I just get 2.6.24-18? [19:53] LogiTech I have an XPS and at the heat that is caused by those suckers when gaming I don't use it for gaming [19:53] it will burn the hardware out in no-time [19:53] Sonicadvance: I'd assume a parent that didn't want their child to end up with a well-paid job in computing wouldn't want them to use Linux [19:53] biff_tannen: mkdir /media/Time [19:53] gordonjcp: lets test this out ... ne movie recommendations?

You should be able to boot any kernel that lives in /boot. The grub menu will usually only list the most recent two or three, if you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a line: howmany=all, this will ensure that it lits all of the kernels in the grub menu. [19:56] soundray I didn't burn this its an official disk [19:56] NetEcho: unless your CD-ROM drive is failing [19:56] biff: Are you using the usb port on the front or back of the computer.

[20:01] NetEcho understood [20:01] pcsx2* [20:01] NickGarvey: this has had several reboots [20:01] thehurley: it's just a metapackage. It won't have any consequences, until you try a release upgrade. Then you should install the package and its dependencies again. [20:01] ok HardDisk [20:01] so far so good [20:01] kaldor right click add to panel notification area [20:01] NickGarvey: it finds the ntfs drive ok [20:01] huevolin1990: just email me at tobi-fp@hotmail.com [20:01] red22, I believe so. let me check now [20:01] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:01] thehurley: metapackage = package that consists of dependencies, without any data of its own [20:01] Ooo, this isn't good. Just hit a keyboard shortcut by accident and everything changed to inverted colours. Any ideas how to turn this off? :P [20:01] Jack_Sparrow any idea what causes squashfs errors? [20:02] NetEcho: spaushfs errors? in what sense? I just had those and overcome them! [20:02] soundray ok, good to know [20:02] NetEcho I can only guess that the advanced programmable interrupt copntroller is causing issues [20:02] ah [20:02] soundray but, whats the point of a package that doesn't contain any data? [20:02] Anyone know why libnspr4 has changed its name in Hardy? [20:02] red22, hmm I don't see that option [20:02] seems to have gotten past squashfs loading this time [20:03] crap [20:03] there they are again [20:03] thehurley: its value is in the dependencies that it installs. [20:03] anyone know what happened to edgy's repos? i'm getting tons of 404s now on the security repo [20:03] NetEcho: in what sense [20:03] unable to read page, block *, size 9e9* [20:03] NetEcho Just a guess.. the two things I am having you add are the two most common changes I make to get a system to boot [20:03] strtok: Edgy is no longer supported.

[20:03] thanks [20:03] NetEcho: right. my advice [20:03] thehurley: think of it as a bundle that makes it possible to install a bunch of related packages in one go.

[20:05] Can I ask for some assistance here? [20:05] netecho does the disk have scratches or hair?? [20:05] strtok, check your connection..?

[20:06] Richrd: if it's ubuntu-related, then yes [20:06] HardDisk: it's getting a 404 [20:06] biff_tannen the format on the hd has nothing to do with why he cant boot the cd that worked beofre [20:06] so my connection is fine - because it got a 404 [20:06] :P [20:06] i don't know why i can't delete them [20:06] lol [20:06] Jack_Sparrow: yeah YOUD THINK [20:06] Accidentally switched into some sort of accessibility mode for visually impaired users with a keyboard shortcut (inverted colours), any ideas how to turn it off? [20:06] strtok, different mirror maybe? [20:06] Jack_Sparrow: I JUST HAD THE SAME ISSUE [20:06] right, i get you [20:06] I'll try cleaning the disk [20:06] biff_tannen stop yelling [20:06] strtok, yeap, download a new CD burn it and work from there having backed up your data [20:06] HardDisk: i'm using us.archive.ubuntu.com [20:06] ompaul: hrm, thanks [20:07] that's kind of silly to just remove the archive [20:07] even though it's not supported [20:07] hrm there is a few small bits of dirt and possibly oil [20:07] that could do it [20:07] strtok, as ompaul said. [20:07] netecho yep [20:07] NetEcho it doesnt take much.. [20:07] yes, I think its related :). I need to get two mice working so that one is inverted and the other is normal. I tried to modifie xorg.conf to do this but I didnt get it to work, either only one worked or none. Can somebody help me? [20:07] Jack_Sparrow: it was weird but it helped. it wouldn't load the live cd it asked for password formatted and all was ok [20:07] Can anyone tell me how I can get my sound card to play more than one source at a time on Gutsy? It used too until I reinstalled. [20:07] Richrd: inverted? [20:07] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:08] Jack_Sparrow: always expect the unexpected [20:08] olskolirc, were you usin Jack? [20:08] olskolirc, you can do that anyway by running two players [20:08] olskolirc: alsa? [20:08] biff_tannen I have been doing this for awhile, I know quite a few tricks [20:08] no HardDisk I don't know what that is. I use alsa [20:08] yes turbo_ [20:08] olskolirc, pulseaudio may be broken change your settings to alsa [20:08] Alsa should anythong through your speakers [20:08] well, I want the other mouse to have the "InvX" option set to "on" so that when I move it left the pointer moves right and vice-versa [20:08] Jack_Sparrow: i know you've helped me many times under a different guise [20:08] multiple outputs... [20:08] oh I done use pulseaudio [20:08] biff_tannen ban evading.. good to know [20:09] oh HardDisk my settings are on alsa [20:09] How to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab for system folders in another partition? can I copy a folder from filesystem partition and use the same name? i.e.: /usr and /home pl? [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: just letting you know that that is the 1st time I ever had that issue and it helped [20:09] it can make things sound real messy....but mpltiple sources output sound [20:09] I can't even hear web pages when im listening to music [20:09] please i need help to delete files from the trashcan. The computer says they have been deleted but they continue there [20:09] just to know, is anybody in this channel working in a company that uses Ubuntu or in general Linux on the Clients? [20:09] Dear olskolirc, check your sound settings via the player you're using then, between alsa and oss [20:09] biff_tannen I have actually seen that happen before, but prefer to check the basics [20:09] Jack_Sparrow I know dirt can be a pain [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: squshfs error during install = reformat [20:09] ok [20:09] wo to you force qui an application [20:09] justme: i do [20:09] justme, yes sir. [20:09] quit* [20:10] are they happy with it ? [20:10] Jack_Sparrow: k ;) I won't conest [20:10] justme, my last job all workstations were running SLED [20:10] justme: i create specialized linux systems for work environments [20:10] contest [20:10] Jack_Sparrow hopefully that was the cause [20:10] justme, and one company recently are running ubuntu completely. [20:10] I'd hate to have to re-do my install [20:10] Jack_Sparrow: I already know you know WAY more than me ;) [20:10] how would i go about finding a dir? i am tring find but its showing up no dir exists or it is invalid etc... but i just installed it via sudo apt-get intsall [20:10] NetEcho I often clean the lens with 30% alcohol solution [20:10] justme: why do you asj? [20:10] HardDisk and turbo_ good to hear there are some companies that are not insane running windows ^^ [20:10] if i want to add a new partition as my /home partition, is there anything specific i need to do to migrate all of my users? [20:11] Richrd: you'd need a multipointer X server. Integrating this in Ubuntu is under discussion, but not done yet. [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: so how do i get my usb working lol [20:11] turbo_, just interested - my school runs Windows XP and on some PCs Vista [20:11] biff_tannen I appreciate your enthusiasm in trying to help out.. [20:11] and I hate those OS >.> [20:11] pub: try "locate " [20:11] biff_tannen what kind of device [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: i know bro - much love [20:11] justme, I also live in Egypt, one of the biggest piracy places, but when you make a good presentation and show them how opensource is better on the long run they will listen and ignore propriety software. [20:11] by 2010 the high school here is going to run linux 100% [20:11] ahhh [20:11] Jack_Sparrow unfortunatly I'm spoiled at work [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: flash pen [20:11] i see, thank you odd-rationale [20:11] if one of our disks don't work we usualy have about 300 other copies [20:11] thanks to me :D [20:12] HardDisk, a joke or do you really live there ^^ ? [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: no led light comes on [20:12] justme, why would I joke? [20:12] biff_tannen What format is the partition on the pen and have you tried to mount manually or force mount [20:12] justme, I am Egyptian :) [20:12] ok ^^ [20:12] lol [20:12] cool :> [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: fat32 [20:12] xmms-oggre: Depends: xmms but it is not installable [20:12] why's this? I just upgraded to Hardy [20:12] never thought I would meet people from far away in here [20:12] ^^ [20:12] .... [20:12] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:12] niocholas_jones, xmms is obsolete [20:12] Jack_Sparrow, biff_tannen; looks like cleaning the lens and disk did it [20:12] I got it guys thanks. I was using Oss [20:12] really? [20:12] niocholas_jones: why xmms? [20:12] it's like winamp :P [20:13] its back on alsa and everything is fine :-) [20:13] and I like'd winamp :P [20:13] justme, welcome to our world of opensource :D [20:13] justme from every nook and cranny around the globe [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: I haven't tried tried manual force [20:13] it is obsolete, like hard disk said [20:13] what is the alternative ? [20:13] ^^ [20:13] Jack_Sparrow can you point me to the link for re-installing grub , I seem to have closed the windows [20:13] NetEcho Remind me to smack youlater [20:13] -s [20:13] rhythmbox [20:13] banshee [20:13] opensource: connecting people [20:13] not Nokia :D [20:13] !grub [20:13] 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 [20:13] niocholas_jones, xmm2 is now the new one, use a GUI frontend there are many options [20:13] what's most like winamp ? [20:13] thanks [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: no entry in fdisk [20:13] soundray: I mean that I only want one pointer and two mice to control it with. They just need different settings. [20:13] niocholas_jones, or use audacious its closer. [20:13] HardDisk, yea I installed xmms2, but there is no GUI [20:13] biff_tannen Lets try a few things.. one sec [20:14] niocholas_jones, you have to install the GUI separately, check the xmms2 website for a whole bunch of GUI choices [20:14] niocholas_jones, or just go with audacious [20:14] its too bad the people can't get over bad habits... [20:14] hrm interesting [20:14] I'll try audacios [20:14] audacious is good. [20:14] :) [20:14] biff_tannen lsusb, lspci lshw to list detected hardware... try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start to try and get a usb drive recognized.. [20:14] alright installing.. [20:14] installed.. [20:14] trying.. [20:14] Jack_Sparrow: ok [20:14] oh cool [20:14] Jack_Sparrow: 2 secs [20:15] this is like winamp as well :) [20:15] I like this [20:15] neat [20:15] thanks guys [20:15] that was the point... [20:15] :P [20:15] :) [20:15] np [20:15] Question: can linux/dns handle domains such as me.local or any domain that the root has more than 3 characters? [20:15] :) [20:15] thats why harddisk suggested it :) [20:15] how long is NORMAL support cycle (not long term support) ? [20:15] 2 years? [20:15] !eol [20:15] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [20:15] .....who supports ubuntu [20:15] :) [20:16] hi guys [20:16] support is until the next release comes out [20:16] yep [20:16] turbo_ wrong.. [20:16] lts just maintains support through all new distributions [20:16] support is dependent on the cycle [20:16] turbo_: Hardy is LTS [20:16] well... 6 years.. [20:16] odd-rationale, do you have any experience with snort? or anyone else that does [20:17] in 6 years I'll have at least 3 kids :) [20:17] but Feisty and Gutsy arent.... [20:17] pub: you're still at it i see! [20:17] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:17] haha, hey bobstro [20:17] aye [20:17] pub, yes it writes EXTREMELY BIG logs [20:17] turbo Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months. Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) releases are supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [20:17] ^^ [20:17] (snort) [20:17] pub: your firewall all happy now? [20:17] in ubuntu 8.04, i used the properities dialog of a partition to set the mount point. unfortunatly, i gave it a / at the beginning, now the disk does not mount because it doesnt like /. how do i get rid of this? [20:17] if a distro is dropped in support, someone should leave behind the update-manager-core package for the release being dropped [20:17] anyone into packages? [20:17] so at least people can still upgrade [20:17] :P [20:17] thats what it was...5 years... [20:17] no bobstro, it doesn't start up with fluxbox [20:17] Jack_Sparrow how do I tell which hd0,* entry is my XP? [20:18] pub: ugh. did you try the iptables-save stuff? [20:18] is any1 here who got XPS M1530 for gaming...pm me pls... [20:18] I know its a bit different then in lilo [20:18] or update-manager-core should be a core package [20:18] strtok, you had ample time to upgrade. [20:18] NetEcho: fdisk look for ntfs partition [20:18] strtok, you decided to upgrade after the cycle ended :/ [20:18] strtok You change your sources list to the next release in the series and you can distro-upgrade to it [20:18] turbo_ sda1 would be hd0,0 right? [20:18] bobstro, not yet i have to read much about it, snort installed to a random dir not /.snort [20:18] distro upgrades sometimes go smoothly, sometimes not so smoothly [20:18] oh, [20:18] Can anyone explain how to change dir in the command line ....... I'm trying to point alien to a file on my desktop to change the .rpm files to .deb [20:18] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19701/ [20:18] distro-upgrade will work though, but it may break [20:18] it will be. [20:18] pub: snort's a big jump! :) [20:19] Edgy Distro upgrade... edit /etc/apt/sources, change all edgy to feisty, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade [20:19] Jack_Sparrow: brb [20:19] turbo_ so if XP is sda3 it'll be hd0,2? [20:19] spiritsmoke: use cd? [20:19] how do i get a console only login? [20:19] k [20:19] spiritsmoke cd dirtochangeto [20:19] bobstro, hehe so where should i start first? iptables or snort [20:19] hoens: permanently, or just one session? [20:19] maybe that will get my update-manager-core at least? [20:19] :P [20:19] just 1 session bobstro [20:19] spiritsmoke alien is a bad thing to do to your pc [20:19] strtok, but be prepared to have your system possibly break. [20:19] pub: got to run, sorry [20:19] ugh... [20:19] !alien [20:19] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [20:19] bobstro, no problem talk to you later? [20:19] strtok, which is why it's better to do a clean install [20:19] !cd [20:19] tried alt/ctrl f1-11 [20:19] Factoid cd not found [20:19] ASULutzy can you give me and example of cd in a command line please [20:20] cd /home/$USER/Desktop [20:20] spiritsmoke cd Desktop [20:20] Jack_Sparrow: any ideas? [20:20] i don't have time to do a clean install; i'll just leave it at 6.10 for a few weeks [20:20] 0,2...how many channels do you have? [20:20] it's SATA, right? [20:20] spiritsmoke cd is CaSe SensitiVe [20:20] is firefox3 going to hit repos on tuesday? [20:20] in ubuntu 8.04, i used the properities dialog of a partition to set the mount point. unfortunatly, i gave it a / at the beginning, now the disk does not mount because it doesnt like /. how do i get rid of this? [20:20] biff_tannen If still nothing on that flash, have you tried it on any other pc [20:20] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:20] ssn /etc/fstab [20:21] ssn: nano /etc/fstab [20:21] Jack_Sparrow: yeah [20:21] nogle fra danmark ? [20:21] Jack_Sparrow: works [20:21] biff_tannen I take it it does work off your windows machine [20:21] anyone know how to make evdev hotplug? [20:21] turbo_: no [20:21] Jack_Sparrow: yeah [20:22] pen you've been repeating that a lot, keep your repeats longer periods [20:22] there is no line with the device or the mountpoint [20:22] pen, if someone knows they will answer [20:22] i looked there first [20:22] Jack_Sparrow: that was where i last unmounted it [20:22] the mere fact that it isnt there makes no sense to me [20:22] but a lot of thins in ubuntu make no sense to me :D [20:22] jack pm me gotta go for bbq ;) [20:22] ssn: ...is it a removable drive [20:22] biff_tannen Unplug it wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.. then check dmesg is what I have in my notes... but I dont mess with those very often [20:22] ssn: if it is mounted at boot it's in fstab [20:23] Could anyone tell me where to get madwifi releases? The site appears to be down [20:23] turbo_: no, it is not mounted at boot and its a whole harddisk sitting in my pc === KiKi`eat is now known as Kitu [20:23] jack_s will do gotta go but if you still on in 30 mins catch you then peace [20:23] is it mounted right now? [20:23] HardDisk, I'm hard keeping a regular period, because I have been waiting for a long time [20:23] it is recognized by ubuntu / gnome, but i can only mount it manually, because the mountpoint i gave it in gnome doesnt work [20:23] HardDisk, sorry if this bother you are you admin? [20:23] Jack_Sparrow: danke [20:24] because it has a / in it [20:24] pen this is a voluntary channel. [20:24] pen, nobody knows. look elsewhere or be patient [20:24] Has anybody managed to connect two mice & got them to work at the same time & configured them differently in xorg.config? [20:24] pen, just keep your repeats longer. [20:24] HardDisk, then do you know the answer? [20:24] pen, have you checked the forums? [20:24] ssn.... [20:24] what do you want? [20:24] !guidelines | pen [20:24] pen: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:24] pen You do need to slow down the repeats.. it isnt a common question [20:25] you want it automatically mounted? [20:25] turbo_: i want gnome to not argue with me [20:25] HardDisk, I did, I tried btnx but it's not what I want [20:25] hmm [20:25] HardDisk, using udev rules only fix the event but can't make it hotplug [20:25] set it in fstab... [20:25] Jack_Sparrow, oh [20:25] but there is no way to correct the mount point in gnome, because i can only do that when its mounted [20:25] turbo_: ok [20:25] pen thanks [20:25] Flare183, thx for reminding the second time [20:25] Hey, is there a backup programme that can produce backups of all partitions (including windows etc) and has a boot function in case my system won't start? [20:26] pen: no problem [20:26] Flare183, do you then know the answer? [20:26] or...do a restart, and mount it correctly... [20:26] if it isn't mounted at boot it should be clean at boot... [20:26] I want to automatically run a script whenever the network interface changes its IP address, where can I do that? [20:26] Buyydee there are many ways to backup your system... most would require you boot to a second os or a live cd [20:26] have you any idea what might cause huge delay (30-60 secs before grub menu and 5 mins after menu, but before "Starting up...") while booting from external harddrive (usb 250gb) [20:26] * Flare183 doesn't know the question (hehe) [20:26] Flare183, evdev will unload if it can't found a device then I don't knwo how to load that manually to make mouse work [20:27] ssn Are you in ubuntu now [20:27] HardDisk, do you know how to load such module? [20:27] stodan: make sure your boot priority is set properly [20:27] Jack_Sparrow: yes [20:27] stodan: sorry didn't read the question [20:27] stodan It often helps to remove "splash" from your grub boot command line [20:28] Jack_Sparrow: OK, I just wondered if there is one which can do incremental ones running in the background, so I have to do nothing manually ^^. I have a proper backup programme by O&O, so I'm going to use that one. Thanks anyway [20:28] pen, apparently btnx is the way to go with hardy [20:28] i might add that when i installed fresh system it worked ok [20:28] pen, http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ [20:28] but then i moved my old system onto it [20:28] ssn just so we have some info on how your system is setup I will give you a long command to paste into a terminal...

(same kernel versions also) [20:35] error couldnt find package envyng-core [20:35] bringatowel: how does envy help with wlan? [20:35] lol [20:35] PLEASE some1 tell me which 1 is better "Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1GHz" or "Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2GHZ" Thank you !! [20:35] nowwhat? [20:35] rofl [20:35] wols_, it doesnt "atb2008> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 x64 on my laptop... which uses nvidia geforce go 7150m and i can't seem to find a driver for that card..." [20:35] wols_, that's no fun; I was hoping that if I did an "apt-get source", there'd be an easy way to modify the relevant parameters and build a new package. [20:35] stodan: menu.lst the timeout [20:35] LogiTech: Higher clock speed is always better right :) Though L2 cache matters too [20:35] the first one ... LogiTech [20:35] nDuff: yes but you still have to manually apt-get source, edit and build it [20:36] wols_, the current upstream code works fine; I'm specifically interested in debugging the ubuntu package as patched. [20:36] any ideas bringatowel if it cant find the package? [20:36] stodan, fsck the drives unmounted, and double check it [20:36] stodan, also see if they are both ext3 or one is ext2 (which will be slightly slower) [20:36] atb2008: nvidia-glx-new or such. the normal nvidia drivers [20:36] !nvidia | atb2008 [20:36] atb2008: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:36] wols_, ahh, yeah. I'm not exceptionally familiar w/ debian's packaging, but as long as there's a little documentation re which switches need to be flipped pre-rebuild, that shouldn't be so bad. [20:36] HardDisk: ext2 is FASTER than ext2 [20:36] atb2008, go to System -> Admin -> Software Sources and enable "Universe" (and proprietary drivers too if you want) [20:36] HardDisk: ext2 is faster than ext3 that is [20:37] wols_, check your info. You sure about that? [20:37] Sorry to repeat. I got disconnected. = How to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab for system folders in another partition? can I copy a folder from filesystem partition and use the same name? i.e.: /usr and /home pl? [20:37] HardDisk: ext3 > ext2 though. With ext2 you have to run fsck after every single improper shutdown. To heck with that ;) [20:37] HardDisk: yes I am sure: ext3 is ext2+journallng. the journaling isn't free... [20:38] ksbalaji: yes. use cp -a tho [20:38] ksbalaji I have a link that can help with that.. one sec [20:38] ksbalaji: and only copy when the source filesystem is mounted read only [20:38] is there anyone who can help? [20:38] HardDisk, both drives are brand new, /boot is 512mb, everything ext3, after Starting up... message it works like a charm, it broke, when i cp -a / /target from my old drive (preserving fstab and menu.lst) [20:38] blerg; switched to libvirt0-dbg, and apparently it's still compiled above -O1 [20:38] journaling makes it faster btw [20:38] !ask | featherstrong [20:38] featherstrong: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:38] featherstrong: I told you: more info or no help [20:38] wols_, ext3's journaling optimizes hard drive head motion [20:39] HardDisk, Incorrect, afaik. Journalling decreases performance, but increases safety [20:39] HardDisk: you're funny. but please stop talking to me when you#re OT [20:39] how do I load module like evdev in session after login? [20:39] ksbalaji Here are the basics http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [20:39] wols_, try to be a bit more polite. [20:39] anyone into files? [20:40] hi everyone [20:40] HardDisk: try to have a semblance of a clue [20:40] hi [20:40] <[T]ank> anyone else here using blueman with ubuntu 7.10? [20:40] wols_, I won't argue with you, I've already seen your attitude here in the past, and I don't take to arrogant trolls. I'm done thank you. === whitma is now known as Whitman === Whitman is now known as whitman [20:41] may I just ask a small question? [20:41] 2. question =) which1 is better " Intel GMA X3100 " or " nVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT" ??????? Thank you again =) [20:41] Jack_Sparrow: ? [20:41] LogiTech: #hardware [20:41] LogiTech, OFC NVIDIA! [20:41] in ubuntu 8.04, i used the properities dialog of a partition to set the mount point. unfortunatly, i gave it a / at the beginning, now the disk does not mount because it doesnt like /. how do i get rid of this? [20:41] Intel Chipsets are slow [20:41] ;) [20:41] Guys... lets keep it friendly [20:41] LogiTech: The Intel card is onboard. Meaning it's going to be not as powerful as teh Nvidia. The Nvidia is better but will drain batteries a touch more [20:41] Odeesi: they want you to just ask and dont ask to ask :) [20:41] alrighty ;) [20:41] well, I am running a rootserver with Ubuntu Dapper Drake... unfortunately, I now need software for it that requires Gutsy Gibbon... so, as I don't want to reinstall everything, is there any chance to upgrade to gutsy as edgy is no longer supported? [20:42] !dapper [20:42] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [20:42] sorry .... ok im a newbie ... did a fresh install of hardy a few days ago ... previously I could roam wireless networks ... now while I seem to be able to connect to a network I find that I am not assigned an ip in that network and so i cannot get to the internet ... now i can only use a wired connection [20:42] Odeesi: just upgrade to current LTS hardy [20:42] LogiTech, they are both good chipsets, it all depends on how much extra you want to pay for the nvidia and/or if you want it for extreme gaming for example. [20:42] !ot [20:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:42] anyone else having "low graphics mode" problem with Nvidia 8800 GT [20:42] sparky01: what driver? [20:42] hey, how do i add the universe repository in ubuntu 8.04? [20:42] !universe | atb2008 [20:42] atb2008: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:42] wols_, 1 second [20:42] LogiTech: The intel card will work for all 2d stuff, and you'll be able to use compiz too. But if you plan on playing lots of 3d games, you'll need the Nvidia [20:43] !ot | ASULutzy [20:43] ASULutzy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:43] wols_: well, unfortunately hardy is not an option for me as you cannot install plesk for example [20:43] LogiTech, the X3100 for example will play a lot of games without a glitch, but don't expect heavy intensive FPS games like fear or crysis to play on full gfx :) [20:43] wols_, the new nvidia one from the repos [20:43] sparky01: that one should work just fine. check your logs [20:43] wols_, how do i find the version again? [20:43] LogiTech, the x3100 plays fifa08 smoothly for example, and UT2004 so it all depends on your personal needs. [20:43] dpkg -l |grep nvidia [20:43] is there any way i can do something like this on startup ; sudo mount --bind "/media/windows/Documents and Settings/jenn/My Documents/My Pictures" "/home/jenn/Pictures" [20:43] HardDisk: #hardware [20:44] wols_: The guy was asking for laptop help, presumably because he wanted to install ubuntu to it. That's hardly off topic. [20:44] wols_, i keeps unconfiguring my X setup and putting me into low grapics mode [20:44] [20:44] thanks friends! [20:44] sparky01: logs [20:44] and xorg.conf [20:44] wols_, which?

[20:45] may I pm you [20:45] thankyou ASULutzy [20:45] im happy to give more information on my problem but do not know how [20:45] spiritsmoke: Sure I guess [20:46] hello people, I have a big problem, I'm using Hardy, it acts very slowly because everything returns to the HD the system load indicator is full, I don't know what to do [20:46] does anyone have any idea whether there are plans to update the hardy ISO image to fix the SSH vulnerability? [20:46] wols_, it wouldnt boot right. keeps going to low graphics mode and then it shows like half the screen. so I booted into recovery mode and did a repair X [20:46] wols_, so my xorg.conf is default now [20:46] jester7, 8.04.1 [20:47] jester7, but you can easily fix that with an apt-get update upgrade [20:47] jester7, and you can create your own custom ISO if you want. [20:47] wols_, should I use nvidia-xconfig [20:47] HardDisk: yeah, i realize, but sometimes i use the liveCD for the ssh client [20:47] hi [20:47] people. please the hard disk is never stops [20:47] jester7, there will be a new image in july afik [20:48] ghaleb: how much RAM do you have? [20:48] excellent, thanks for the quick response, guys [20:48] wols_, 512 and 2g swap [20:48] should be fine. check which process does it then [20:48] I'm trying to setup a CUPS printer via the Printer administration tool.

[21:00] hi, may be offtopic, am on a windows network with ubuntu, how do i find out whats, the ip of Active Directory === aib is now known as BrianMingus [21:01] Jack_Sparrow: why did you mention that alien was the devil earlier? Is it really that big of a deal if someone needs to convert a .rpm to a .deb? [21:01] HardDisk? [21:01] !alien [21:01] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[21:01] ASULutzy It can work, it can trash your system.. compiling it yourself is a way better choice [21:01] anyone know why scp always denies permission for me? [21:02] HardDisk yup rhythmbox [21:02] HardDisk, Jack_Sparrow: Right, I agree. I just thought there was something fundamentally bad about alien that I didn't know about, I don't know that I've ever actually used it for anything, I'd usually just compile from source [21:02] simplyubuntu, maybe the easiest solution is to remove the .banshee folder in home and try again? [21:02] ASULutzy sorry to interrupt but I know that feeling too :) [21:02] ASULutzy I had a link that told about it.. sticking things in the wrong places etc... messing things up.. [21:02] HardDisk I'll try [21:02] should back it up though :) [21:03] :'( === bimp is now known as burrito [21:04] :\ [21:04] HardDisk no such folder :) [21:04] ajopaul, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto [21:04] simplyubuntu, check in .config or in .gnome2 [21:04] will kubuntu slide up vista and make room ok. is that safe [21:04] I don't use banshee [21:05] if you find a you can break the passwords for vnc and rdp then they become a trojan right ? [21:05] which is something good.. [21:05] bumbl3b33: Sure I guess. But the same could be said for ssh, does that make it a trojan? [21:06] bumbl3b33 How is this ubuntu support related? [21:06] what do the curly braces in menuconfig mean? ie. {M} vv [M] [21:06] ssh is more difficult to crack [21:06] do anyone knows how i can force to install any application and how i can make MPlayer to run like portable app without install [21:06] HardDisk it doesn't look like a config folder [21:06] unless u try phyton [21:06] just some album covers and a plugin folder [21:07] bumbl3b33: How do you figure? a bad password is a bad password. I guess you could use key pairs for ssh, but I assumed that there's a way to do that for VNC as well [21:07] uffo, make it portable for what? [21:07] anyone know why my wireless won't connect?

[21:08] uffo, get mplayer for windows and put it on a USB pendrive, then for linux install puppy linux or DSL and install the apps you want on it [21:08] Owner_ You might check in supported hardware to see how others have or have not got your hardware type to work [21:08] ajopaul, sorry then, I don't work with active directories myself. [21:08] you mean with wine [21:08] where? [21:08] i thought it was more secure ssh encrypted and strong authentication..

[21:10] uffo, if you want a binary, go to the mplayer site if there isn't one, compile one yourself. [21:10] I'm having some package management troubles. Some history first, before the pastebin link: I had completely run out of space on my boot partition, so I went to uninstall the oldest two of the four kernel versions I had installed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/19709/ [21:10] thats why im not familiar with ubuntu yet [21:11] ubottu: thank you :) [21:11] Factoid thank you :) not found [21:11] lol..

Could this be the the screen refresh? [21:14] HardDisk, modprobe? after login? evdev works? [21:14] if i mount a share using the "Connect to Server" gui, where would I find that share via the command line? [21:14] I would just ignore the issue, were it not blocking every package management action that want to do [21:15] HardDisk, no, I think you were just kidding. modprove add removes modules from linux kernel. I dont' want that [21:16] how do I load module like evdev in session after login? [21:16] is tubes .. tubes .. [21:16] Load evdev after login [21:16] thehurley, if its a nvidia card you'd do it via nvidia-settings you may need to sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings first [21:16] so the mouse would work again [21:16] without restarting x [21:16] pen, I wasn't kidding, but you're better to follow erSul's method [21:17] its not possible to play win games on ubuntu is it ?

[21:27] pawpaw, well they don't call it problem solving for nothing [21:27] and i've never seen any machines crash a router, without someone trying to do just that [21:27] fadi: basically you're going to do sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk and then do sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/usbdisk [21:28] pawpaw: It's UPnP that might be causing router's to reboot.
