[00:02] Absolute-Zero You need some basic tools for compiling .. yes [00:02] apt-get install build-essential [00:02] use aptitude [00:02] HardDisk: i think so, but after the resolution changed i deleted everything and used envyng. i don't know what that installed, but it didn't change anythng [00:03] goldbond, ah envy..ok then in terminal do sudo nvidia-settings [00:03] stu : *sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:03] hello, how to perform update on computer, which isn't connected to internet [00:03] < [00:03] ?

[00:07] gracias [00:08] antzu: your welcome friend :) [00:08] I just installed ubuntu from a live cd to my pcs second harddrive when i boot to it the loading bar is displayed but instead of loading to desktop it loads to a command promt the promt reads (initframes). How do i get a desktop? [00:08] hello [00:08] where are you from? [00:08] bye bye [00:08] im trying to set up ircd-hybrid and its just not working im getting Connection failed. Error: Connection refused... can someone help? [00:08] antzu, I am from the united states, we have people from all over the world I believe in here, but...this is a support room, if you want to continue talking to me beyond a support question we can go to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:09] antzu: bye :) [00:09] meoblast001, port blocked maybe via router? [00:09] after setting a root pw - how do I make gui prompts ask for the root pw instead of user pw (particularly for KDE)? [00:09] HardDisk: no but i even ran on the server a connection to localhost/6667 and it said the same thing [00:09] how can I view running processes that don't show up in the window list or window selector. (IE: error. firefox is already running but is not responding) I need to force quit firefox. [00:10] Aw0L_ We dont suggest or support root password [00:10] HardDisk: i configured the port to listen on 6667 [00:10] meoblast001, haven't run ircd-hybrid, but I'd maybe check again the conf file..might have missed something [00:10] Matthew12, ps -x in terminal [00:10] to force any procces to quit you can type: killall firefox [00:10] Matthew12, then sudo kill -9 [00:10] HardDisk: i did exactly what you said this time and nvidia-settings still says run xconfig (although I already have of course) [00:10] HardDisk, Pneo: Thank you. [00:10] HardDisk: i had this working back when i ran Fedora-Crap.... but i never took the time to fix it on Ubuntu till now [00:11] no prob mate! [00:11] goldbond, did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig then restarted X? [00:11] HardDisk: i just remember my first time took forever [00:11] HardDisk: yes [00:11] goldbond: what's the issue? i missed it and i may have a solution [00:11] goldbond, ok and did you run sudo nvidia-settings? [00:11] HardDisk: tried with and without sudo [00:12] goldbond, ok did you sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings? [00:12] Jack_Sparrow, I'm sure, but that doesn't answer my question :) [00:12] goldbond, to make sure it's installed. [00:12] HardDisk: nvidia-settings is already the newest version. [00:12] goldbond: do you have problems installing/updating nvidia drivers? [00:12] I installed Ubuntu from live cd. Instead of desktop on bootup i get a command promt that reads:(initframes) instead of a desktop. Do i have the right install? [00:12] leato, he can't run nvidia-settings [00:13] eviltane, something went wrong [00:13] oh [00:13] so, no one in here knows... [00:13] nvidia-settings should work after he does nvidia-xconfig [00:13] leato: i don't think so. but my max resolution reverted to 800x600 one day after i restarted [00:13] Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package : ??? what does this mean please [00:13] goldbond, what nvidia is this? [00:13] whats the cmd to restart the network? [00:13] HardDisk: would you like to look at my config file?

[00:16] goldbond: maybe you can pastebin.com it [00:16] can somebody help me? I can't seem to understand these instructions [00:16] meoblast001, don't know if you need binding or not [00:16] HardDisk: what the hell is a vhost... it says its something it connects out to [00:16] http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/24/chris-pirillo-live-stream-in-linux-without-browser/ [00:16] HardDisk: this is one server.. that sits under my desk [00:17] Can anyone help me with a monitor problem?

[01:58] fryfrog, correct [01:59] cntl + l [01:59] MaxPayne: I've got the same problem, trying to remove new partions after a botched install of ubuntu [01:59] earthling, bc? [01:59] i figured that was the case, since i've *never* read of anyone doing something like that [01:59] using the command line: how do I find my mac: address ? [01:59] HerbMonk: ifconfig [01:59] jack-desktop : type bc on cmd prompt.. the try 2+3 .. you get the result [02:00] Thanks mate [02:00] HerbMonk: ifconfig | grep HWaddr [02:00] earthling, oh, i was trying bc 2+3 [02:00] Anyone know the command for updating the time from the command line? [02:00] nickrud: ran the reconfigure that you mentioned and that has cleaned up xorg.conf. I will not know if this has resolved the issue since I can't really reproduce it. Should I now run dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg? Right now, I do not see the driver listed as ati. There is no driver listed. [02:00] Netham46: date unless you want to use ntpdate [02:00] has anyone successfully installed photoshop CS2 from the production studio DVD's with wine? [02:01] mine closes on setup [02:01] kitche, ty. [02:01] Felonious: did you check wine's website I believe there is extra steps to getting it to work if it does work been a while but I knew that it did not work [02:01] I'm trying to setup my wireless connection, it detects the router but signal is stuck at 0% ... does anybody have a clue ?? [02:01] OpenMindDJ you should run that, make sure it works. If you get a screen, then try system->admin->hardware manager . One question first, which ati card do you have? [02:02] nickrud: ATI Radeon 9600 [02:02] OpenMindDJ yes, you should get a good 2d accel'd screen now, and with the hardware manager get decent 3d [02:03] OpenMindDJ assuming you haven't messed with envy or the ati driver from ati's site [02:04] nickrud: I have not messed with those. So I should run the reconfigure -phigh. When you say hardware manager do you mean Hardware Drivers? [02:04] Hi, we use dc++ with windows on my network for file sharing. Is there any way of installing a Linux app that would work with the rest of the dc++ network? [02:04] OpenMindDJ did you do the -pcritical? [02:04] nickrud: yes [02:04] And your desktop works, with keyboard, mouse [02:04] nickrud: yes [02:04] Compiz looks fine as well [02:05] OpenMindDJ then skip -phigh. [02:05] nickrud: should I just leave well enough alone [02:05] anybody have an idea why a wireless connection would be stuck at 0% ? [02:05] OpenMindDJ yep :) And, I meant hardware drivers, keep forgetting the name changed === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [02:06] nickrud: ah ok. What is the advantage of enabling restricted driver, better 3D? I am not a gamer so this may not be necessary. The spinning cube is about all I need...love that thing :) [02:07] Does fglrx work with AIGLX in hardy? [02:07] OpenMindDJ if you get compiz running, you're probably using the ati driver anyway [02:07] jameslr yes [02:07] I can't get the compiz crap to work. I don't really want to get it to work. I just want to be able to get my driver running. [02:07] nickrud: gotcha...odd that this does not show in xorg...but I'll take it. thanks for the help...we'll see if this resolves the mysterious black squares along with the black screen [02:07] OpenMindDJ you can check by looking over /var/log/Xorg.0.log. It's long, but you want to look for what driver is in use [02:09] nickrud: what does the -pcritical do ? its not mentioned in man dpkg-reconfigure [02:09] legend2440 it asks zero questions. Should be mentioned [02:09] nickrud: towards the end of that file I see RADEON all over the place [02:10] nickrud: ok thanks === powertoo108 is now known as powertool08 [02:10] !3d [02:10] Factoid 3d not found [02:10] does anyone know how to fix the bootloader with a dual boot osx leopard and hardy (hardy won't boot unless cd is in, then i have to choose "boot from first disk") [02:10] OpenMindDJ then you are not using the fglrx driver. And your chip is old enough that the radeon provides dri acceleration. If you look over the lines with radeon all over them :) you can see it talking about checking and enabling direct rendering/dri [02:11] Anyone know which package vim PHP syntax highlighting is contained in? [02:11] anybody could help ? how to install ubuntu to flash disk without swap. i install ubuntu to my flash disk,but could not boot it up. the system said:can't mount selected partition. [02:12] if i'm formatting an external harddrive (used strictly for storage), is it necessary to have 5% of the filesystem blocks reserved for the super user? can i make this 0%? [02:13] nickrud: I see direct rendering enabled [02:13] I had a minor issue with pulseaudio that I seem to have fixed. Now my only problem is that it doesn't start automatically with KDE, so I have to manually start it in a shell each time I login. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04; any ideas? [02:13] mkfs.ext3 -m 0 [02:13] OpenMindDJ so you can just continue as is. Many people with your card do. [02:13] nickrud: and supported VESA modes. [02:14] OpenMindDJ yeah, that log is very good reading. [02:14] node357: and there should be no problems in doing so, correct? [02:14] nickrud: I think I will....thanks again for the help to all of you. [02:14] if i insert a wireless card in my system, how will ubuntu know its there? [02:15] (desktop) [02:15] taime1: PCI probing. [02:15] so it automagic? [02:15] taime1: just be sure the chipset on the card is supported. [02:15] * nickrud wondered what term to use for that [02:15] shaffy, yeah it should be fine [02:15] node357: thanks :) [02:15] you're welcome shaffy [02:16] i know the card is supported. so ubuntu will simply see it? [02:16] yes [02:16] sweet, thank you [02:17] Anybody know how I can apply themes with emerald theme manager? [02:17] I've installed vim-gnome but no syntax highlighting. Any clues? [02:17] I open it up, view the theme, and then I'm stuck. [02:17] chmac install vim-full [02:18] nickrud: I also tried that, no luck [02:18] There's no "apply" button. [02:18] TEACH ME THE WAY OF THE UBUNTU [02:18] nickrud: It's a transitional package that installs vim-gnome, so it comes to the same thing I think [02:18] If a person using dapper was only getting sound in firefox (but not xmms, beep-media-player, or vlc), what would you recommend? [02:18] chmac I added that, then added syntax on to ~/.vimrc . And I see that now ;) [02:19] ANYONE? [02:19] Sorry, yelling. [02:19] Seriously though. [02:19] nickrud: I think it's the syntax on bit, just reading https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+question/6111 [02:19] nickrud: Thanks, I'll try it now :) [02:19] Anyone besides, you know, nickrud and chmac? [02:19] SilverReadman heh. What I do is pick a theme, then do: alt-f2 emerald --replace . A hack but I know no other way [02:19] nickrud: Woopdewoop :) :) :) [02:19] Thanks === Matthew12 is now known as MT12 [02:20] SilverReadman: You're trying to apply themes? [02:20] Indeed. [02:20] SilverReadman: what window manager are you using? YOu can read the docs for the wm. [02:20] SilverReadman: I don't use emerald, I have installed it once, but not these days [02:21] !info vim-full gutsy [02:21] vim-full (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - full fledged version. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:7.0-164+1ubuntu7.2 (gutsy), package size 934 kB, installed size 1880 kB [02:21] Chmac- What do you use then? [02:21] SilverReadman: Themes, I don't have any themes installed, I just used whatever was shipped with Ubuntu 8.04 standard [02:21] How do I set a static local IP for my laptop? [02:22] hello! can i run ubuntu 32bit on a AMD64? [02:22] or i have to use 64bit version? [02:22] edenroz: You bet [02:22] edenroz yes [02:22] edenroz: 32-bit works on AMD64 [02:22] Edenroz- Of course [02:22] edenroz recommended for most people, in fact === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [02:22] so i make a mistake when i installed 64bit version? [02:22] SilverReadman: If you're using emerald look up the docs for it, there must be something online somewhere... [02:22] edenroz: the 64-bit version also works [02:23] tnks to all :D [02:23] nickrud- any chance of undoing that "emerald --replace" seeing as the theme turned out to be crap? [02:23] edenroz not a mistake, it's just a few things that take a little extra work to get them working [02:23] edenroz: although there are some bugs and other issues that only happen with the 64-bit version [02:23] SilverReadman pick a different one, and repeat the replace [02:23] How about going back to the Ubuntu default? [02:24] SilverReadman gtk-window-decorator --replace [02:24] thank you =p [02:24] bahaha up yours Nero... nrg2iso for the win ! [02:24] so i've got emerald installed, but nothing happens when i click the themes i have installed, anyone know what might be wrong? nobody in answering in #compiz [02:24] SilverReadman what I ended up doing was picking one that was close, and using the incredible customization stuff in the theme manager to get it to exactly my taste [02:25] i've got ubuntu 8.04 installed btw === eldalion is now known as eldawlion [02:25] alinon type alt-f2 emerald --replace , after selecting a theme (feels like deja vu) [02:25] kappaccino, nrg2iso doesnt always work mostly with games [02:26] alinon: is your window decorator set to emerald instead of GTK ? [02:26] i'll check real quick [02:26] kappaccino, even better try burning a diskjuggler image in linux === tofaffy_ is now known as tofaffy [02:27] I just had to burn this stupid ERD Commander set in .nrg format [02:27] spideyman: I tried to burn it through nero in virtualbox xp but I failed :( [02:28] wine didn't seem to like it either [02:28] kappaccino: i don't recall where i can find that option [02:28] i know it's in compizconfig settings [02:28] kappaccino, nero linux would do it too [02:28] spideyman: it was crashing under wine [02:29] kappaccino, no theres a nero for linux version 3 now i think [02:29] rickrud: doing that command did allow my compiz theme to work, but when i restart X the theme goes back to default [02:29] oh this dumb elitist troll tard [02:29] alinon: found this neat thing in synaptic called compiz fusion icon, that's how I change it [02:29] tryin to tell me im so dumb [02:29] he says ubuntu is based off sarge [02:29] what do you guys say to that [02:30] !ot | fornax [02:30] fornax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:30] fornax, please take chat elsewhere. [02:30] please have a cup of stfu if you dont want my dick in ur ass [02:30] I want to run use 2 different displays with gdm. Anyone know of a good documentation for this sort of thing? [02:31] Hi guys, sorry for the "stupid" question but I'm new to Ubuntu: how to stop the X server to install the new Nvidia driver ?? [02:31] flavio: hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in there, then use sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [02:32] I installed the nvidia CUDA driver last night, and it killed my GDM... Does anybody know how to revert back to the original one so I can actually use the gui? [02:33] Starnestommy: thanx, I'll try it... another question, plz: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 64bits... when I run synaptic, only 64bits packages will be searched or I need to setup it for that ? [02:34] kappaccino: i've got another wierd problem, if i turn on "extra effects" in the appearance preferences it automatically turns on wobbly windows, so then i have to go into CCSM to turn off wobbly, but if i do that it automatically changes back to "normal" in appearance prefrences [02:34] flavio: it searches for any packages that work with 64-bit, including architecture-independent ones [02:35] what is the best way to install mono in ubuntu 8.04 ??? [02:35] Starnestommy: hmmm... this could be a problem for me ? === francesco is now known as Guest8140 [02:35] flavio: most likely not [02:35] we||s: sudo apt-get install mono [02:35] Starnestommy: thank you for your time...

[02:46] dGulan: and you might need to use a different client [02:46] joshual, yes you install it then run sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [02:46] Dbproguy: ...so why would you use a gentoo cd =) [02:46] xterm opens a xterm [02:46] mouseboyx: how do i delete the partition?? [02:46] jayde_drag0n : a windows system will stop recognising it [02:46] mouseboyx: ok I guess I can't... the network doesn't seem to be working at all now and I was going to ftp the file off.

[02:47] Ninjavidual: use gparted [02:47] joshual: good question..

[02:47] earthling: i don't own a windows system.. so it will be fine then? [02:47] Dbproguy: so does the ubuntu live cd.. [02:47] babolat: well i've told him 6x, and i think the fact he's giving everyone his password, merits caps if he's not getting the message, if you don't like it, /ignore [02:48] joshual, I don't know I have not used kde... im pretty sure that will not work [02:48] jayde_drag0n : yes. a linux machine will read a ext3 partition flawlessly [02:48] sorry, let me explain this clearer, i have one partition and a crapload of freespace, how do i make the fat32 partition take up the free space [02:48] IndyGunFreak: caps are still bad, and if you really want to yell at someone, use /msg not the channel [02:48] Well with the ubuntu live cd, is there a chance I might lose data? [02:48] +1 Starnestommy [02:48] sudo apt-get install qparted [02:48] Starnestommy: i wasn't in the mood to message, then he would just complain he couldn't respond because he wasn't registered/logged in [02:48] resize the partition with the "crapload of free space" to a smaller size. then resize the other one to take it up. [02:49] like i said, /ignore [02:49] Ninjavidual, [02:49] brb [02:49] hi, when i run compiz --replace, i get "xgl not present" how can i use aiglx on this system? [02:49] how cute i am!haha^ thanks for reminding [02:49] IndyGunFreak: he can reply unless you have usermode +E set [02:49] earthling: okay i was worried that by formatting it.. it would remove its drivers.. so the drive wouldn't be able to tell the system what it is anymore (i know.. probably the dumbest question ever.. but i had never thought of it till now) [02:49] IndyGunFreak is nothing but helpful, if anyone deserves to use caps it's him, especially if he's just trying to help. [02:49] joshual : xubuntu ! [02:49] mouseboyx: the option to resize in gparted is greyed out [02:50] Ollie, what error's are there when you try to start X? [02:50] Just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy. Does this ring any bells? updatedb: ../src/updatedb.c:730: scan_cwd: Assertion `name_size > 1' failed. [02:50] Ninjavidual, are you booted from the drive you are trying to resize? or are you on a live cd. [02:50] jayde_drag0n : disk formatting has got nothing to do with erasing drivers.. its the driver on the Operating system that helps in reading from a hard drive [02:50] Is there a way to switch my whole ubuntu system onto a new partition? The whole / drive? [02:50] EvilDennisR Well with the ubuntu live cd, is there a chance I might lose data? [02:51] Dbproguy: Why would you lose data?? Just don't install ubuntu again!

Resize the partition with gparted, install ubuntu [02:53] Ok [02:53] Hey guys in copiz how can i change to tob and bottom images of the cube? [02:53] do you already have ubuntu installed [02:53] mouseboyx: thanks for your help mate [02:53] Dbproguy: The installer will actually do the resize for you [02:53] Ninjavidual, your welcome. [02:53] Dbproguy: So you don't have to load the live cd, you can just do a complete install [02:53] mouseboyx: i tried that before but for some reason it took forever to scan the disks.... [02:53] if not then toss the cd in and resize use/resize the free space and install [02:53] hai guys [02:54] Is there a way to change my ubuntu partition to a larger parition?

[03:34] !fstab | Jeruvy [03:34] Jeruvy: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:34] wow ubuntu factoids suck in comparison to #debian ones [03:34] ace_suares: so what do I have to do with fstab?

Duh :-) [03:35] warhell... (ubuntu) is amongst the most friendliest of linux distro's If you coming from windows... Ubuntu offers a smoother transistion. [03:35] jack-desktop: idle i think can do that, i think it does java [03:35] leato: but it appears that it just lists it alphanumerically and not in the order of the devices themselves... [03:36] Jeruvy: Also, I am not so good with the GUI so there might be more 'userfreindly' ways... [03:36] hello, i'm goofing around with compiz, and I installed emerald theme manager to try out a theme? I tried emerald --replace, but it does nothing? Any ideas? [03:36] Jeruvy: listen to nickrud :-0 [03:36] nickrud: ok, share is up. Open FTP to example.com. Attempt to copy file from share to example.com. Nautilas does not 'see' samba share.

[03:38] Jeruvy: what FTP program ? [03:38] nickrud: using MC works fine, using KDE works fine, gnome/naut DOES NOT WORK [03:38] Jeruvy ok, I see your issue. I've never tried that from samba to an ftp share, I'll take your word it doesn't work. I'll have to try it tomorrow when I have a samba share to test. I'm going to try a couple ssh places now, though. [03:38] or does gnome not have that ability [03:38] hey guys [03:38] and also frosty.... you need to add it to "sessions" I name it "Emerald Start" and the command of course as you know is "emerald --replace" [03:38] all talking is english i can't understand [03:38] stars: what language !?

[03:44] asmo[B]: luckly, that's changing Muehehe :P [03:44] * nickrud used to use fvwm95, fooled the boss a bit [03:44] I tried to ask this in the in the ALSA channel, but no one was there: I want to make ALSA default over Pulseaudio. If I ever accidentally play two audio sources (most commonly youtube and amarok/rhythmbox), the sound stops working and I have to restart to get it back. $Killall Pulseaudio works, but it'd be nice if I could just default to ALSA. [03:44] Idleone.... you will have to google the fix for the weather screenlet.. weather.com has updated thier code... you can find it easily on google.

[03:49] tj83: there's already a NAT on the Linksys [03:49] linkdeath: hmmm if the DSL miodem says that, it should work i think [03:49] ace_suares: and killing it also makes canyouseeme say the port is unavailable [03:49] onats it will work on a intel mac? [03:50] rredd4, i think it will. just try it first [03:50] ok [03:50] linkdeath: well you might setup tcpdump or ethereal on the linux box and see if anything is really reacjhing the linuxc box [03:50] linkdeath, i missed your initial problem.. cant you just forward the port you need?

[04:12] or whatever user you're running mysql as [04:12] chelz: and even if the source is available it needs to be licensed.

[04:13] err +chown [04:13] chelz: the FSF talks about software not data [04:13] clintchance, recordmydesktop? [04:13] jameslr, same [04:13] techsupport: what does /var/log/messages say? [04:13]  nomasteryoda tell me thats free [04:14] chelz: of course not the software to generate an XML file of some date is not available to you only to google ppl [04:14] jameslr, should i cat messages ? [04:14] ace_suares: well i guess my main concern/quandary is if any of google's apps or any standard webapp conflicts with FSF's guidelines [04:14] techsupport: less messages and then SHIFT-G [04:14] in another terminal run tail -f /var/log/messages [04:14] then start your service [04:15] chelz: yes they do because it is not free software [04:15] chelz: you can NOT modify the source code of google apps therefor it's not Free Software [04:15] yawn [04:15] ace_suares: well they haven't released the software so technically it doesn't even have a license [04:15] ace_suares: for all we know everyone inside google has full access to the software [04:15] chelz: how do you know it doens't have a license ? maybe they sell it to yahoo :-) [04:16] hey guys i had one question everytime i update my computer the updates acquire loads of space, apart from their setup files, is there any junk i could be cleaning out ? [04:16] ace_suares: i mean publicly. they might have tons of deals behind closed doors but there's no evidence of such things. [04:16] chelz: that doens't make it Free Software. I have access to all my source code. Does that make it usable or modifyable by you !? [04:16] i got 8.04lts ce ubuntu an i was tryn to get e17 but faild badly [04:16] chelz: what does it matter to you if you cant access the source code !? [04:17] !ot | ace_suares chelz [04:17] ace_suares chelz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:17] nickrud: bummer. [04:17] nickrud: but you are right. [04:17] ace_suares good subject, wrong channel :) [04:17] anyone have the problem where applications in hardy just stop responding? like if you try to do something in them, esp in firefox. :/ === _max` is now known as max` [04:17] getting really annoying [04:17] techsupport: any luck? [04:17] jameslr, nothing [04:17] jameslr, got 3 terminals open [04:17] techsupport: nothing in /var/log/messages? [04:17] how do you tell the kernel not to cache in ram? [04:17] ace_suares: i'm pretty sure that falls under the definition of free software. the only requirements are that you can change and modify the software you currently use. since you only interact with data from google, like you said, i guess it doesn't even count as software. [04:18] guys is there any junk formed in ubuntu while installing apps. or a new kernel [04:18] AceNik the packages you download get stored in /var/cache/apt/archives , you can use apt-cache autoclean to remove stale ones, apt-cache clean to remove all [04:18] im low on HDD space [04:18] jameslr, there is a lot of output in /var/log/messages but not sure what to look at [04:18] hard drive drive space? [04:18] chelz: you just got notified that our talk is off topic. Move to #ubuntu-offtopic or risk annoying some people, okay !? [04:18] eh :s [04:18] AceNik the packages can take up to 500mb, as set in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d [04:18] techsupport: tail -f /var/log/messages should give you a running list of the last lines which should give you any error messages that are recent [04:19] if you keep a tail on the log and start the service - surely something comes up [04:19] lol [04:19] jameslr, http://pastebin.com/d3d9d46a7 [04:19] nickrud: it says invalid opertion autoclean, & anyways stale apps is not my issue, apart fromt hat i feel there is more space been taken by somethin [04:20] hello people [04:20] AceNik not stal apps, but the stale packages you download, which are then unpacked and become the apps ;) . And sudo apt-get autoclean should work [04:21] techsupport: you need to chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql for sure. The user your mentioned is the user account you're logged in as not the service account for mysql [04:21] techsupport: unless you changed it... [04:21] i got a question what is the max ram that ubuntu can hold ?!? [04:21] does anyone know how to change mount options in the terminal? [04:21] Ne0_WizArd: iirc, around 4 GB if it's 32-bit. I don't think 64-bit has a limit [04:21] yawn [04:21] Ne0_WizArd the 32bit can access up to about 3 gb directly, and 64 bit quite a bit more (can't remember the exact number at the moment) [04:22] asmo[B]: sudo mount -o option(s) /mnt/point [04:22] nickrud: well that worked, but doesnt make much of a difference [04:22] Hi. I see that my monitor refresh rate right now is 50hz, it goes up to 60hz on Windows. My monitor doesnt really have information on vert and hor refresh rate so I can manually add it to xorg. Is there any way of finding this out? [04:22] AceNik install/run baobab , it's a graphical indicator of disk usage [04:22] TigranG: nvidia? [04:22] anyone know about getting free netzero dialup working on ubuntu? [04:22] starnestommy, thanks [04:22] crdlb: yes [04:22] is this right or is it backwards: mount -t FILETYPE (e.g ext3,ext2,fat,ntfs) MOUNTPOINT DESTINATION [04:22] TigranG: it's not really 50Hz then; nvidia's driver lies [04:23] asmo[B]: sorry that should be mount -o remount,other options /mnt/point [04:23] crdlb: Umm. Well then how can I see what its really on. [04:23] TigranG: nvidia-settings should tell you [04:23] afallenhope mount -t FILETYPE (e.g ext3,ext2,fat,ntfs) /dev/ MOUNTPOINT [04:23] TigranG: I wouldn't worry about it though since you obviously have an LCD [04:24] TigranG: and LCD monitors do not actually refresh, so the number is purely for compatibility [04:24] crdlb: Yea, says 59.94Hz in nvidia-settings [04:24] * nickrud wonders how software can lie [04:24] is there a way to emule my ubuntu in windows xp, considering that it is in a virtual partition in windows directory? [04:24] jameslr: I can't get anything to work... what happened when I right clicked on the device and added something to the "Mount Options" trying to fool around with automount read some stuff that told me to add 'noauto' in there... didn't turn out, now I can't access it [04:24] im trying to set up my dad with ubuntu and he doesn't have a credit card or checking account so he has to have free dialup [04:24] jameslr: it just tells me that it cannot find the device when I try to mount it in terminal [04:24] so netzero on ubuntu? [04:25] asmo[B]: what is the device you're mounting? [04:25] so nobody has the problem where programs in hardy 64b stop responding? [04:25] crdlb: alright, Thanks [04:25] im trying to get my blackberry to sync with my ubuntu. i had it once before but i have a new laptop now. tryign to set it up again. I cant get a program called 'Xlt' to install properly, anyone familiar with this? [04:25] external usb, NTFS partition [04:25] I already bought a non-winmodem and got it working but I need free isp even if a few hours per month [04:26] I don't want to add it to fstab because it is an external drive and I was advised against adding external devices to fstab [04:26] how do you force fsck on boot ? touch /forceck or something ? [04:26] does anyone knows a good streaming server for ubuntu? [04:26] asmo[B]: make sure it's not in fstab [04:26] ramgarden http://home.pacbell.net/dbk4297/freeisp.html , maybe here [04:26] thanks! [04:26] Ramzi, video or mp3? [04:27] jameslr: it's not [04:27] asmo[B]: when you plug in the device what does dmesg output? [04:27] Ramzi, vlc can do both... gnumpg for music... or shoutcast via icecast [04:27] mostly video [04:28] jameslr: "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume: music" [04:28] vlc works pretty nicely [04:28] ramgarden also, consider getting one of those pre pay credit card type things [04:28] im planning to install some webcams at a store for security so I want to have every thing set up [04:28] vlc is probably one of the simplest yet most effective video players [04:29] I'll buy some wireless cameras and the server will have ubuntu [04:29] do anyone have another idea of doing what I need? [04:30] anyone been able to get ICS to work with ubuntu... I wanna share my dial-up connection with Ubuntu. [04:30] hola all [04:30] asmo[B]: what's in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf?

[04:53] it didn't work [04:53] ok its loaded. how do I use this scriblink.com [04:53] you have to follow the directions on the link - not just click it and expect it to work [04:54] oswado not sure i follow that. ipcs is either criptic or it's not telling me anything.

[04:56] matthias_N, no, you dont have to be logged in as root, just use sudo. if you mount the device like this: "mount /dev/yourusbdevice /your/mount/folder" just type sudo before mount [04:56] oswado so you sujest a reboot ?

[04:57] Alives: unless you wanna start chopping out standard features [04:57] i like hardy [04:57] axf: Did you try nuking your ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf* files ?

[05:00] i must say, i am a little disappointed in the latest ubuntu [05:00] Xecuter: WELL DID TO ME BUT OKEY LET IT BE ... [05:00] very unstable compared to dapper [05:00] sorry caps [05:00] i mean feisty [05:00] glick: !offtopic [05:00] !offtopic | glick [05:00] glick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:00] matthias_N, where are you from? [05:00] feisty was stable, never crashed, yet haron crashes ALL the time [05:00] glick seems to have hit a sore spot. [05:00] the hell [05:00] !offtopic | glick [05:01] hold on ... [05:01] hey I just installed hardy in my hp pavilion tx1000. is there anyway for me to activate 3D graphic? [05:01] what's EvilDennisR's problem? [05:01] glick: Dude, you're in here bitching about how hardy isn't stable. Thats great and all, take it to the offtopic channel please. [05:01] im just remarking how haron is unstable compared to feisty [05:01] after i enabled compiz in XFCE i cant login there [05:01] glick: do you have a question? [05:02] EvilDennisR, you dont like it you can ignore me [05:02] philsf: i have a question [05:02] glick: Yet again, take it to the off topic channel.

[05:03] and when i shutdown [05:03] hi [05:03] kranklin: what kind of artifacts? [05:03] !hi | vinboy [05:03] vinboy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:03] does ubuntu still kill laptop drive? [05:03] the terminals are unusable, but i can get back with ctrl atl f7 [05:03] or is it fixed? [05:03] i think its somethign with the nvidia driver, (restricted) i see lines drawn down the screen [05:03] kranklin because the frame buffer wasn't properly reset. [05:03] EvilDennisR, What were those commands again? === johnny64 is now known as yakobmatrix [05:03] axf: rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf* [05:04] axf: You might want to switch to the console (ctrl+alt+F1) to login and do that [05:04] after i enabled compiz in XFCE i cant login there..how can i set that right [05:04] vinboy good question. [05:04] axf: alt+f7 to get back to the gdm login [05:04] agent_bob: i don't know much about frame buffers, but that sounds right... how do i fix it? [05:04] kranklin that i don't know. sorry. [05:04] vinboy : I think ubuntu is great on laptop [05:05] agent_bob: ok, thanks for the tip [05:05] axf and usually you need to logout of the desktop completely to be sure gconf isn't running ( ps -A | grep gconf in the ctl-alt-f1 terminal to be sure) [05:05] kranklin: are you using a vga= parameter in grub? [05:05] vinboy: When was the last time you trued ubuntu/heard about it killing laptop drives? =) [05:05] yakobmatrix: but there was this bug that kill laptop drive [05:05] Hello, I have created a .deb package with debuild (and it works) however I would like it to install shortcuts into the Applications menu, does anyone know how I can achieve this? [05:05] philsf: how would i know? [05:05] axf: Yeah, login on the console do /sbin/killall5 and then those commands [05:05] yakobmatrix thinking it's great is hardly relevent to the fact that it is very hard on laptop hdd's [05:06] erin: dpkg -i whatever-i386.deb [05:06] kranklin: did you ever edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and add a parameter to change font/resolution in the console there? [05:06] erin: toss a sudo in front of that if you're not already root.. [05:06] i have edited it before, to remove the quiet and splash.... [05:06] vinboy not kill but rather "excessive ware" [05:06] finally it's working [05:06] thank you guys [05:06] vinboy : what laptop is it? have you ever encountered that kind of problem? === salmenara is now known as Varanger [05:06] Agent_bob: oh ok... does it still exist? [05:06] anyone here heard of yaku? [05:06] yakobmatrix: no.. i just bought a laptop and deciding what OS to put [05:07] vinboy i don't know. i'm still using dapper. [05:07] philsf: before hardy, i had to use a noapic / noirqlpoll for ubuntu to work [05:07] what laptop? [05:07] dv9308 [05:07] EvilDennisR: Yes I can install it fine. I want to know how I can make it put shortcuts to the program it contains into the Applications menu (it contains a program that I built from source) [05:07] have a question regarding an installation of ubuntu server 8.04 if anyone cares to answer [05:07] EvilDennisR, Ok, I did that. [05:07] axf: Word. I had a feeling that was it [05:07] ordered a cd from shipit and it keeps crashing in parts of the installation [05:07] EvilDennisR: I can run it from the command line ok, but i'd like it to put a shortcut in the Applications menu or on the desktop [05:08] !ask | bandgeekndb [05:08] after i enabled compiz in XFCE i cant login there..how can i set that right [05:08] odd thing though is that it's different parts every time [05:08] kranklin: check if your kernel image lines have a vga= parameter, maybe if you change the parameter, it gets better.

You can always create a new custom launcher app.. As far as the appliations menu, I'm not sure. That stuff gets added into some gnome file somewhere.

[05:09] thanks nickrud [05:09] philsf: ok thanks, will try different values for it [05:09] axf: I thought you said that fixed it! =) [05:09] nickrud: I know, but when some-one else installs the package I want them to have a shortcut already in place, not have to create one [05:09] axf: ah sorry, I thought you said that did it [05:10] erin not all packages have gnome application menu items. What program is it? [05:10] How can i lock the ubuntu wiki page ? [05:10] nickrud: Its one that I compiled and created a deb for myself [05:10] abhinay so no one can edit it? [05:10] nickrud, yes [05:10] nickrud: so I want to know what file I would have to put in and where it should install to to give a shortcut [05:10] erin ah, so that makes you the person that's supposed to make the menu item :) [05:10] hi [05:10] nickrud: yes :) [05:11] erin: Like I said, that info goes in some gnome xml file somewhere [05:11] erin in /usr/share/applications. Create one with the menu editor, then alter to taste and put it there [05:11] Anyone know how to enable mod_userdir in Hardy Heron? [05:11] nickrud: ok, thanks heaps I will try that [05:11] Machine: 350mhz P2 with 192MB of ram. Trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.04 from CD (I got it from ShipIt). Various points through the install crash, different points every time I try. The verify CD option says the CD is bad, which i find surprising considering this is the first time it's come out of the sleeve. So, I'm going to try to burn another CD but before I do, is there a better version of *buntu, such as Xubuntu for running [05:11] erin: there you go, thats where it is =) [05:11] abhinay not doable. Wiki's are by definition editable. [05:11] abhinay: It wouldn't be a wiki if it was locked [05:12] abhinay although, you might petition the guys in #ubuntu-docs (or -doc , forget which) [05:12] this time i used killall5 in place of alt+SysRQ+e to kill things. much better ram usage. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d740cbb25 [05:12] after i enabled compiz in XFCE i cant login there..how can i set that right [05:12] nickrud, i get "Status of sending notification mails:" when i edit a wiki page, how can i subscribe to a wiki page ? [05:13] !pastebin [05:13] and with that it crashed [05:13] damn. [05:13] so for the record. alt+SysRQ+e does not free used ram. [05:13] abhinay hm you can put the wiki page in your profile on the wiki [05:13] Agent_bob: huh, I wasn't aware of alt+syseq+e [05:13] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:16] Varanger it's ubottu for now [05:16] Agent_bob: I'm checking out the wikipedia page on it [05:16] arvind_khadri: I dont know how to fix it myself, hence why i didnt give you an answer that could help, stick around :) [05:16] Agent_bob: I used to use +b when I worked for ask.com on our debian machines that would lock up [05:16] arvind_khadri try asking on #xubuntu , they're probably more familiar with xubuntu and compiz [05:17] nickrud, that room is sleeping on i dont know what...might be sleeping pills till the next debian release :D [05:17] lol [05:17] heh [05:17] lol [05:17] lol [05:17] arvind_khadri lol, well the 'xubuntu guy' does linger in there often [05:17] arvind_khadri I think he'd be asleep right now [05:18] nickrud: probably :) [05:18] ubottu: CLONEBOT [05:18] Factoid clonebot not found [05:18] nickrud, found someone in compz-fusion :) [05:18] so Im just going to give up on it, prolly won't gleen anything from it anyway as it is 26k dial-up [05:18] DEVORAK keyboard! [05:18] arvind_khadri: awesome, hope they help :) [05:18] ubottu is a CLONEBOT [05:18] Factoid is a clonebot not found [05:19] alan_m, yeah...they did to set me up compiz in XFCE too [05:19] ubottu: CLONEBOT [05:19] Factoid clonebot not found [05:19] Herissy.... i can see why you want to do it that way [05:19] ubottu: CLONEBOT [05:19] !botabuse | axf [05:19] axf: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [05:19] Herissy... it's probably more [05:19] crap. my memory usage is still double what it should be [05:19] I have no other choice roger [05:20] Herissy... it's probably more "normal" to have the linux box toward the internet [05:20] but since it's a laptop.... i gotcha [05:20] I understand that but the windows box is headless and keyboardless and I have no access to it. [05:21] i see [05:21] as it is Im chatting in here through a VNC connection [05:21] that sounds like a blind virus [05:21] I have always heard that Win XP Home only allows 4 network devices [05:22] because its keyboardless I can't install xp pro or anything else. [05:22] XP home is terrible for networking period [05:22] hi. so here's my problem: after Windows decided to screw its NTFS header, I ran a fixmbr/fixboot on it. obviously, this destroyed GRUB. so I tried by many ways reinstalling GRUB, however it seems to refuse to see my ext3 partition. [05:23] ubottu: [05:23] anyone know how to resize the linux file that is in windows? [05:23] DrFrankenstein are you sure you still have an ext2 partition ? [05:24] kyl1: You mean 'Partition' [05:24] Ubuntu is installed on /dev/sda6, in GRUB's config file it's (hd0,1). however when I run the liveCD, GRUB only sees (hd0,0), and throws error 22 (no such partition) at anything else. [05:24] maybe windows destroyed more than an NTFS header. [05:24] Agent_bob: I can mount it from the live CD yes [05:24] i want to get a fairly inexpensive bluetooth headset to use mostly for voice chat. the max i'd pay is $50,anything you'd recommend? [05:24] GRUB just won't see it. [05:24] DrFrankenstien: try hd1,1 [05:24] axf, I believe they mean a file for linux that is in a windows partition [05:25] my ubuntu is installed within windows vista [05:25] i need to resize the file [05:25] alan_m: gotcha [05:25] what would be the best way to install ubuntu on my laptop without messing up my Windows installation? [05:25] actually, after my Windows partition went *poof*, before I tried to fix it, I could still boot Ubuntu with no problem. [05:25] and run it, of course ;-) [05:25] Shade34321: with VMWare [05:25] Shade34321: wubi [05:25] DrFrankenstein in the live CD mount it on /mnt and then run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [05:26] my ubuntu file is OUT OF SPACE my UBUNTU IS INSTALLED WITHIN WINDOWS VISTA [05:26] asmo[B]: You pay for that! [05:26] is there no other way besides VMWare or wubi....i've already tried wubi and it didnt work to well [05:26] Error 21: Selected disk does not exist [05:26] kyl1: your using a wubi install? [05:26] is there an application on ubuntu that would allow me to find out the ip address of machines in my network. i use etherape but it only displays the machine's name. i want the ip [05:26] yes [05:26] DrFrankenstein ok hda then [05:26] axf: I guess some people would :P [05:26] yes [05:26] is there a way i can resize my windows partition w/o messing it up [05:27] that way i can use the rest of my hard drive for ubuntu....the only real reason why i keep my windows is for school and games:D [05:27] takao: isn't there a setting in etherape to not do dns lookups? [05:27] DrFrankenstein you can look at /proc/partitions to see what the disk address it [05:27] alan_m:yes [05:27] Shade34321: you may use the gparted cd [05:27] Shade34321: Gparted [05:27] hmm.....ok [05:27] tmptmp, let me check [05:27] Shade34321: or use the linux live cd, they both have gparted [05:27] takao: if you just want a list of ips, also can try nmap (a very nice cli utility) [05:27] i'll try that.....the ubuntu live cd has gparted...ok [05:28] Shade34321: I mean Ubuntu linux live cd [05:28] Shade34321: yeah :) [05:28] so i just boot the live cd and repartition my hard drive for it and install...sweet:D [05:28] thanks! [05:28] Shade34321: its in the system menu i believe (gparted) as Partition Editor i think the menu item is. [05:28] Shade34321: You're welcome [05:28] tmptmp, can nmap scan my network. i thought you need to provide the ip in nmap [05:29] Shade34321 hint. turn off the page file in windows and defrat first. [05:29] what page file...and how do i do that? [05:29] hi room [05:29] hello WineSpecialist [05:29] /join ##windows [05:29] hi guys [05:29] hi alan [05:29] i need some help with ubuntu [05:29] Agent_bob: done, I'll be back if it still doesn't boot. [05:29] hello bud :) (love the nickname) [05:29] takao: man nmap: go to "target specification" part. you can give it an entire subnet to scan. :) [05:29] thnx === bud is now known as Guest50793 [05:30] halo bro [05:30] DrFrankenstein i'll expect you when i see you comming [05:30] looks like someone else is already using the nick "bob" ;-) [05:30] oops, someone else already thought of the name :) [05:30] no prob, it's just a name, but i have unbuntu 5.04 [05:30] tmptmp, thanks [05:30] and I just maged to get my comp online [05:30] takao: np :) [05:31] how does one upgrade from 5.04 to the latest, the update manager doesn't work [05:31] Shade34321, it's also known of virtual memory...that sort of question is better suited for another channel but if you have a look in system properties (windows key + pause/break brings it up) under hardware and then advanced you'll find it [05:31] bloh minta nomor hp [05:31] I just recently installed Ubuntu and am a Linux N00b can anyone help me correctly setup my graphics card, I am unable to run normal effects [05:31] Guest50793, sudo update-manager -d in a terminal. [05:31] At the *tone*, Pacific Standard time will be 9:33 [05:31] Guest50793: best bet is to back up your data, and do a fresh install of hardy. [05:31] ok...thanks [05:31] iam running a amd 64 3800 and it dog slow,when i up load videofeed it almost stops. [05:31] o but i got no cd burner how do I get hardy in here [05:32] I have usb tho [05:32] but ithe bios is not letting me boot from usb [05:32] guest50793, follow my directions :) [05:32] Shade34321: Windows will not let you simply partition like that. You will need to defragment your disk using a specialized defragmentation tool like PerfectDisk or Diskeeper to arrange all the files contiguously. Resizing after that should be pretty easy. [05:32] Guest50793 there is no one step upgrade from hoary hedgehog to hardy herring supported. the reccomended way would be to dl the install iso and burn it to disk then fresh install [05:32] jburd...where can i get one of those? [05:32] heron, not herring [05:32] jburd, why not just use the windows defrag tool? it works just fine [05:32] Guest50793: well... how did you install 5.04 on there in the first place, then? :) [05:32] k I'll try that, hope the cd burner works [05:32] bokep breng yukkkkk [05:32] Shade34321: raxco.com i think. Use Google. :-) [05:32] my cd works on and off [05:33] ok...i will [05:33] it's a very old comp [05:33] that's y [05:33] *tone* [05:33] jburd, and technically you can resize with a fragmented drive, depending on your tools. Acronis Disk Director Suite will automatically defrag it as much as it needs to when it resizes for me [05:33] but u guys gave me an idea, thnx [05:33] is it a good idea to install windows over ubuntu dual boot ubuntu being frist [05:33] Guest23577, You could try the mini install CD [05:33] At the *tone*, Pacific Standard time will be 9:33 ,*toned* [05:33] I'll be back I guess when I have installed the new one [05:33] alan_m: but wouldn't that just upgrade to 5.10, not to 8.04? also i think 5.10 repos don't even exist anymore, since it's now out of support lifetime [05:33] bakersfieldboy, many people have said it's a pain, but assuming your windows is XP I find it muuuuch easier to do it the way you asked [05:33] pretty sure you can DIAF axf [05:33] Guest23577, That way very little would be read from CD ( most would be downloaded during install [05:34] dmsuperman: Gparted won't let you resize. I don't use Acronis *, so I don't know about their tools. [05:34] tmptmp: yeah, i thought about that after i pressed enter key (of course) [05:34] alan_m: heh :) [05:34] alan_m: even 6.10 is out of support! [05:34] bakersfieldboy, I installed Ubuntu first, then Windows, and all I had to do was reinstall GRUB after windows took the liberty of overwriting it and it works fine now [05:34] tmptmp: you do realize that the repositories just got moved over for the old releases right? [05:34] WineSpecialist, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [05:34] alan_m: use 7.04, 8.04 is verrrrrry bugy [05:34] this is a real noob question but every once in a while a folder on my desktop will have a lock on it and denies me permission to delete, anyone have any ideas? [05:34] tmptmp: change a address and you can still have the upgrades :) [05:35] axf 6.6 is still supported it's LTS [05:35] This usually happens when I take content from a CD and place it on the desktop [05:35] alan_m edgy repos are not there [05:35] yes its xp,i did do a dual boot windows being frist but ubuntu is up and got alot i want to keep [05:35] <````bulldogg> hello all [05:35] alan_m: well, yea, i saw something about the "backup" repositories being out there somewhere, at some point. but wasn't sure they were still up. [05:35] alan_m: 7.10 sucks [05:35] Im running Heron, and it runs fast but I cannot setup under system->preferences->appearance->visual effects desktop effects could not be enabled? [05:35] jack_sparrow, not even on oldrelease server? [05:35] nope [05:35] bakersfieldboy, so you have windows already installed? or ubuntu installed? [05:35] dang, so not even my backup plan would have worked....oops :/ [05:35] alan_m they are in the menu.. but not actually there [05:36] just Ubuntu [05:36] alan_m: at any rate, my feisty laptop just died a few days ago, using a hardy desktop now. so i'm not really "up to date" on the old release repos :) [05:36] Jack_sparrow, yeah :/ [05:36] anyone have this problem? [05:36] anyone know an easy way to unlock permissions on a folder in ubuntu [05:36] <````bulldogg> Doubt there is an answer for this... but how do you install a Lexmark x1240 all in one in Ubuntu 8.04... recently converted my parents to linux... and they like it except for the fact their piece of crap printer wont work.. or more accurately I can't figure out how to make it work [05:36] WineSpecialist Many people who do not have their video cards setup correctly [05:36] Jack_sparrow, are the 6.06 repositores still there? (just wondering) [05:36] WineSpecialist: Windows emulator is cool, right? [05:36] bakersfieldboy, yeah...it's easy. Just resize your partition to allow room for windows, install windows to the empty portion. Windows will overwrite grub in the mbr, so you have to repair GRUB after you install windows but once you do that you'll have both your current ubuntu and your new windows xp installs dual boot [05:37] alan_m yes. 606 is still supported [05:37] ishbibenob: Unlock permissions?

[05:40] axf: i don't see why compiz sucks, but if you google just that i am sure you can find a tutorial or check out the forums [05:41] ishbibenob: Sometimes when you install software by compiling code or mount volumes as a user, you need to obtain the correct permissions to remove those folders. [05:41] sun01tech: You have to compile those! [05:41] Im new to ubuntu but not linux - should I be reading up on BASH or DASH if I want to know more about how Hardy uses the shell?

I included the lsusb result [05:42] alan_m: dash is more lightweight, but as a result, it doesn't support all the nice things bash does.

[05:43] ah, thanks :) [05:43] Captainslog: well, for basics, they are the same. only when you get to some advanced shell scripting do you start noticing that your bash shell scripts barf on you when you try running them in dash. === silverblade|zZzZ is now known as silverblade [05:43] sun01tech: Beryl seems to fit my style, go away if you don't agree!

[05:47] ok thanks tmptmp [05:48] vinboy: the os and the software you install is only gonna be so big (i'd say, a 10g root will do you nicely, you won't be using more than half capacity), then the rest is /home, cuz that's where you put all your "real actual stuff" :) [05:48] sun01tech: :p I will try ubuntu 7.04 [05:48] vinboy: np [05:48] ok, so here's how my problem is going right now: I'm trying to reinstall GRUB, I just tried the grub-install script. and it didn't work.

[05:49] it has only one line: "(hd0) /dev/sda", which I think is not good. [05:49] axf: missed your thread - why are you trying 7.04? it's very nice and stable... but it's almost out of support. unless you have good reason, go with 8.04 [05:50] so, should I manually add my partitions to device.map? [05:50] gaintsura yeah i have made boot splash images for both lilo and grub for grub it's a .xpm of 640x480x14 you can use gimp to convert any image to "640 480 14 1" [05:50] tmptmp: I AM LEAVING UBUNTU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[06:06] Chipsa964: A tar file is just a way of lumping a bunch of stuff together in one file. You unpack it with tar -xf filename. [06:06] im not positive on the card would it tell me under xorg.0.log? [06:07] thanks all [06:07] Chipsa964: It's probably gzipped or bzipped, as well (foo.tar.gz or foo.tar.bz) so you would have to uncompress it as well. [06:07] DrFrankenstein try installing from a grub shell maybe [06:07] WineSpecialist: in terminal try fglrxinfo [06:07] its .tar.bz2 [06:07] * DrFrankenstein headdesks [06:07] Chipsa964: This can be done with a separate command, first (gunzip foo.tar.gz to produce foo.tar, then tar -xf foo.tar) or, with many current versious of tar, you can add an extra command-line option to have it uncompress it. [06:07] i downloaded the new firefox 3 release and i want to install it, but im not quite sure how [06:08] 15 minutes later it was yelling about the partition not existing, not it's just working. [06:08] DrFrankenstein you can run grub as a shell just like you would bash or tcsh it hs command line editing and simple help messages with tab completion. [06:08] earlier* [06:08] the newest one is in the repos now I think aint it? [06:08] Chipsa964: For ubuntu??? [06:08] #kubuntu-kde [06:08] Chipsa964: Don't. [06:08] I mean, I tried grub shell and it wasn't working. now it is. [06:08] cuz the firefox 3 that came with ubuntu has some compatibility issues [06:08] o.O [06:09] Chipsa964: If you don't know what a tar file is, then using a non-packaged app in ubuntu is probably going to be mroe trouble than you need.d [06:09] so i was going to try the other one [06:09] puff: bz2 is -j for tar :) [06:09] root (hd0,1) -> Ok; setup (hd0) -> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [06:09] legend2440: it tells me the program fgrxinfo is currently not installed.. and when i try to install it it says could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11Resource temporarily unavialable) [06:09] Chipsa964: What's the version number?

[06:09] hi all, does anybody how to make a program have executable rights [06:10] WineSpecialist: pm me ok? [06:10] WineSpecialist you probably have another package manager open, make sure that synaptic or the update manager is closed [06:10] How come I dont have a /dev/video file?

[06:10] I'm looking for -rwxr-xr-x [06:10] legend2440 sorry, just read the question didn't see the nick ;) [06:10] Chipsa964: aah, firefox... in that case, grab the rc3 archive, then just rightclick and select "extract" and it'll unzip to wherever you have stored the archive. then you can run it, and give it a test (make sure your "official" firefox is closed, first, though) [06:10] Agent_bob: I was trying (hd0,5) 15 minutes earlier too, and it was saying "no such partition" [06:10] (before rebootinh) [06:10] nickrud: no problem [06:11] shirish: "chmod 755 yourfile" [06:11] tmptmp: thank you guys :) [06:11] DrFrankenstein yeay for udev [06:11] tmptmp, thanks, ill try that [06:11] legend2440: ok, i installed the fglrx and when i type fglrxinfo it says No protocol specified Error:unable to open display [06:12] WineSpecialist: ok to pm?

[06:12] winespecialist cannot pm [06:12] welcome anyway [06:12] he does not have a regged nick [06:12] good night/morning/day/evening (depending on wherever you are), and sweet dreams (if applicable) [06:13] how hard is it to change the main users password if you don't know the current one? [06:13] legend2440 you cannot pm either your nicks not regged either [06:13] Good whatever, y'all, and as for the dreams, well, I'm going to go booze myself into unconsciousness. === silverblade is now known as silverblade|work [06:13] cpk1 local or remote :))) [06:13] cpk1: Come again? [06:14] How do you get rid of the old kernel headers that boots on grub [06:14] cpk1 local it's as simple as rebooting to single and running passwd [06:14] haeee [06:14] legend2440 // winespecialist /msg nickserv help register [06:14] Agent_bob: local, but it would be nice to know how to do it remote if its possible [06:14] cpk1: If you mean recovering the main user password, see what Agent_bob said. There's an option for grub (the bootloader) to keep people from doing that. [06:15] cpk1 it's possable but it's not always passable if you get my drift [06:15] haee [06:15] cpk1: If you *know* the main user password, and you're logged into the same box as another user, then you can just su to the main user. [06:15] Hello everyone [06:15] How do I get my computer to recognize my intergrated webcam, it was working before [06:15] puff heh only if bios is locked so they can't boot from anything else ;/' [06:16] Agent_bob: Well, yeah. It's relative. [06:16] i've installed wintricks - how do i remove them? they don't improve anything from what i've noticed [06:16] basicly if i can get my hands on it, i own it. [06:17] Agent_bob: What I mean though, is, leave me in the room with your ubuntu laptop for five minutes and I can boot into single user mode and reset root. Change the grub setting, now I need a bootable media that your machine will boot. [06:17] Anyone handy with the wine application? I've got a quick question regarding the accessing of shared folders [06:17] Agent_bob: Security is a scalar, not a boolan. It's all about how high you raise the bar. [06:17] why does grub show 2 different entries for Ubuntu? [06:18] Ralphieeeeeeeeez: I'm pretty good with scotch :-). [06:18] cpk1 does the user your on right now have sudo privs ? [06:18] as in 4 total [06:18] Felonious: One's recovery mode. [06:18] puff 10 4 [06:18] no puff [06:18] puff: hehe no wine for yuh? [06:18] I have 2 kernels with 2 recovery modes [06:18] the volume softkeys on my computer no longer do anything. there is still the visual on the screen, but the volume doesnt change. This followed manually the main volume in a mixer on the GNOME panel [06:18] started once I ran update last night [06:18] Felonious: Oh, that, look in /boot/ and you'll see the various versiosn fo kernels you've tried. [06:18] Lokii-: I am trying to ssh in right now, but i can get remote access too, it's in the basement, and is also my router/firewall [06:19] ideas? [06:19] can you get local access ? [06:19] Felonious: This enables you to selectively boot from an earlier kernel, in case you have problems with the old one. You may actually have more kernels in /boot, typically it only shows 3. [06:19] can i delete them? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [06:19] Felonious: Sure, but why? [06:19] I dont know, lol [06:19] Felonious: You can also tweak your grub setting to only show you one. [06:20] Felonious: Or show you more. [06:20] where would I find that at? [06:20] Felonious: /boot/grub/menu.lst I believe. [06:20] No wineo's out there? [06:20] Felonious: If you add a line:L howmany=yes it will show you all of them. [06:21] i am using heron, and i had a look at my xorg.conf file-it looks very generic, it does not show any of my devices listed. what is up with that? [06:21] Felonious: Dunno much more about it than that, you'll have to research it yourself. [06:21] Felonious ls /lib/modules/ will show installed kernels aptitude remove linux-** can remove them and will at the same time update the /boot/grub/menu.lst which displays the list at boot time. on can edit the menu.lst dirrectly and tell it to omit or include some things you might look into that. [06:21] # howmany=all [06:22] so 1 would equal most recent and its recovery mode? [06:22] my volume softkeys now control the microphone volume instead of main output -_- [06:22] Felonious: The easiest way to set an arbitrary one as default is with savedefault [06:22] MentalUproar cool how did you manage that ? [06:23] Is there a way of accessing network shares, that does not use smb:// ? such as maybe a folder (or series of folders) somewhere in my root directory? [06:23] Flannel i may be wrong but i thought he wanted grub to "not list but one" [06:23] hello [06:23] hi [06:23] hey [06:23] yea I just want to show the most recent one... [06:23] I installed a GNOME panel applet to control the volume, truned it up all the way with the softkeys, then turned it all the way up with the applet [06:24] to avoid confusion for my girlfriend tbh [06:24] so whats up [06:24] never been here before [06:24] nanode: this channel is for ubuntu support [06:24] just tryin to figure some stuff out :D [06:24] Felonious: then that'd be howmany=1 [06:24] Ralphieeeeeeeeez konqueror supports fish:// not sure in gnome. [06:24] well good [06:24] I'm going to recode a video using Avidemux, could someone help me to chose a format in which to save the file ? [06:24] i have a question [06:24] thank you [06:25] im just really cautious of messing with any mbr stuff [06:25] prologic [06:25] for example, there are 3 MPEG-4 : xvid4, x264 and lavc [06:25] when an ftp get or mget gives "no such file or directory" for a file / directory that DOES exist... What might be the problem?? [06:25] I don't which one to chose [06:25] Felonious actually editing /boot/grub/menu.lst has nothing to do with the MBR [06:26] its upto you maxagaz [06:26] all of them have their pluses and minuses [06:26] Ralphieeeeeeeeez, You can either mount the shares to whatever folder you want or you can check ~/.gvfs [06:26] Felonious: how to chose ? [06:26] try them all [06:26] well xvid has the most compatibility [06:26] Agent_bob: I don't ave time for that [06:27] sven_oostenbrink, Are you sure you are not doing a get where you should be doing a put ? [06:27] maxagaz: go with xvid - most people have that codec installed. [06:27] Felonious: ok, so you would chose xvid ? [06:27] ok thanks [06:27] depends on what you are trying to do [06:27] so when i try and update my repos with apt-get i get errors saying three of the servers are not able to be reached [06:27] if you want super high quality and arent worried about compatablity then x264 [06:27] Felonious: compressing a video [06:27] well obviously.... [06:27] Jordan_U: this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you very much, I will give it a shot [06:27] lol [06:28] nanode sounds like a sources.list problem [06:28] but just about everyone has XViD/DiVX installed [06:29] Jordan_U> get is to download a file, no? [06:29] well i agree, although i havent been able to find out any info about the server in the forums i'll copy the output [06:29] hey can I download an image for a usb key anywhere or do I still have to go through the whole install to USB drive instructions [06:29] Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.secs.oakland.edu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

I don't have a burner anymore. 2nd ide channel is pooched [06:41] what is pastebin [06:41] Is this also the dev chatroom for Ubuntu?

It's only got a 6gb hd too [06:44] Prexide: Ctrl + arrows [06:44] left and right [06:44] Seven_Six_Two i have ran both gnome and kde on a 100mhz box recently. just trim the fat. [06:44] negge thank you:) [06:44] mine's ctrl-alt and the arrows [06:44] Agent_bob, ok thanks. I can do that [06:44] also, scroll-wheel while over the desktop [06:44] im trying to get guild wars to work, but it returns an error and does not display a window or anything, this is what i get. http://paste.ubuntu.com/20763/ [06:44] Seven_Six_Two but if you like lightweight i would sujest either fluxbox or blackbox [06:44] negge it was ctrl+alt+arrows btw:P [06:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/20776/ [06:45] thats my apt-get update output [06:45] Prexide: my bad:) [06:45] negge forgiven:P just thought u should know^^ but thanks [06:45] Seven_Six_Two both will "fly" in 100 mhz so 500mhz would feel like rocket propulsion [06:45] anolis, what video card and driver are you using? [06:45] you can't honestly say gnome will fly on a 100mhz machine?:D [06:45] nanode: And your sources.list? [06:45] ok hang on [06:46] nanode: (plus any sources.list.d/ files) [06:46] negge no one did. [06:46] ok [06:46] Agent_bob, I've tried blackbox, it's sparse. as long as I can make it easy for a small child it'll work [06:46] Agent_bob: sorry I must have misread [06:46] fluxbox si very customizable [06:46] is [06:47] <3 fluxbox [06:47] ohai i think i asked before but is there a list somewhere of what packages are on the dvd that are not on the normal install cd and would have to be downloaded? [06:47] Seven_Six_Two, i am using a geforce 7900gtx, with the restricted driver [06:47] negge i think you skipped a line of mine ;/ [06:47] zcat[1], I think it's everything in main [06:47] oh, cool.. [06:48] i could probably just open the dvd iso in fileroller and find out ;) [06:48] anyone know what to do to un-bork my softkeys? [06:48] zcat[1]: check the .list file (and diff it with the alternate CD) [06:48] i tried running glxgears just now and it crashed X [06:49] anolis, that doesn't sound good [06:49] yes... should i attempt manual driver install? [06:49] anolis i bet it wont run here either... [06:49] Error: couldn't open display (null) [06:49] its weird cause compiz-fusion works fine [06:50] anolis, I think so. my 6800gtoc works fine. I've never tried guildwars though, and I avoid wine. I have a console for games.

I say this only fools people who don't really know what they're doing into thinking they do. Case in point, he set up DHCP and then manually set all the gatway and namserver options on 25 hosts because he knows nothing about dhcp options. 'nuff said.. [06:50] hmmm i shall try.

[06:53] Agent_bob: frustrating thing is, as far as he's concerned he did a good job. The network is working. End of story. Who cares if it's a half-assed config? [06:54] nanode, Remove the word web from all the entries which have it [06:54] ok [06:54] will do [06:54] zcat[1] yeah that's kinda what i was saying, from his perspective, he is right. [06:54] i'll report back [06:54] #kubuntu-kde4 [06:55] seven_six_two: i've tried a tutorial involving cups, but i'm not sure if we're speaking about the same thing, how do i log into cups? [06:55] from my perspective, he'a a moron.. but yeah... this isn't really the place :) [06:55] dashgr, in a web browser localhost:631 [06:55] or whatever you named your localhost [06:55] just had to go rant a bit and get it out of my system [06:56] dashgr, 127.0.0.1:631 might work too [06:56] I'm trying to use dual monitors with nvidia card. [06:56] ebdrake, I use that [06:56] I have a 1440x900 and a 1024x768 [06:56] seven_six_two: it worked, and i've logged in, do i set everything up in here? [06:56] 1680x1050 and 800x600 [06:57] dashgr, yeah. [06:57] hello [06:57] dashgr, and you can print a test page too [06:57] So I used the seperate x screen option in nvidia-settings which seems to work pretty good. === _cens0red is now known as cens0red [06:57] except... [06:57] well looks like that fixed it [06:57] bloody squid defaults are a little conservative aren't they? max_object is about 8M, total cache size is 100M? Not much use if you're trying to cache youtube videos that average about 30M each..

I am running Hardy on a Dell Optiplex 755 with 21inch Display... But I can't get a resolution higher than 1024*800 and refresh rate 60... any ideas? [06:58] zcat[1] default = starting point on long road to right. [06:58] i have some new updates to take care of [06:58] ebdrake, that sounds like a kernel panic or something. maybe you're video card is getting too hot? do you have a power cable plugged into it? [06:58] thanks [06:58] Into the video card? [06:58] anyone that could help me get flash working with firefox instead of it locking up my page? Im new to linux and installed Ubuntu 8.04 [06:58] Nope [06:58] it's GFMX440 [06:59] Agent_bob: true. now set to 150M / 10G .. slightly closed to useful for what I want to do ;) [06:59] Doesn't happen with twinview [06:59] guys! how can I auto mount my windows drives? [06:59] I don't like twinview though cause I have the extra space I can't get to around the smaller screen. [06:59] dashgr, you have to play around with the options. might be socket:/ ...who makes that printer? [06:59] x [06:59] 150M per object is probably a bit high actually.. but then if I download OOo to all the machines, I can do it through the cache and not have to carry a usb drive around ;) [06:59] seven_six_two: Dell === bin4y is now known as kenshin [06:59] zcat[1] yes. but with very many users on one box giving them 10g each would quickly fill 1T [07:00] dashgr, I doubt that.

[07:00] dashgr, you need the right ppd installed for the printer, and probably some of the gs files [07:00] did you install the driver for your video card? [07:01] Agent_bob: this is squid, not firefox's cache... most users don't run their own private copy of squid, at least not on any box I ever adminned [07:01] Benalex, Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [07:01] Jordan_U one sec [07:01] guys how can I make my drives auto mount???? [07:01] seven_six_two: thank you, is it easy to find these ppd and gs files? [07:01] why does tar doesn't work on cron? [07:02] I think the defaults are set just for getting the proxy up and testing, not intended for actual use.. [07:02] Jordan_U no such a file [07:02] Any other ideas? [07:02] I just reached 40 days of uptime on my laptop! [07:02] hi! [07:02] SheezayE, What command are you running specifically?

[07:03] anyway.. got a roomful of kids that go to youtube and play flash games, with a single 256kbps connection. And a lot of the time, they see one person playing a particular video or game and all go there. I can see squid making a huge difference..

[07:06] dashgr, yeah, printers that are like winmodems. the os takes care of a lot of the internals, so much of it, if not all won't work [07:06] Hi everyone, I can't load any java applets. It crashes my firefox. Any ideas? I have gcjwebplugin installed. [07:06] ok what if it still doesn't work, do i have to creat a separate script? [07:06] 4.2 [07:06] seven_six_two: guess that why it was free a couple of years ago, are the modern printers able to work easily with ubuntu? [07:06] dashgr, yeah, just stick with a good name. not lexmark [07:06] carlisle: Have you installed Sun's Java? [07:07] what package is that in, Darlok? [07:07] seven_six_two: how about HP laser printers, will they configure? [07:07] 'good printers' usually work with ubuntu, it's the cheap crappy brands (lexmark) that generally don't.. [07:07] although there are exceptions [07:07] SheezayE sorry you'll have to catch me up, i only noticed your tar command and noted that the .tar would break some mimi expectations. what exactly are you doing ?

I hate it when I say we don't support linux, even when I can help [07:10] jonatha1: Ah... well MySpace is the problem. It will lock up any browser on any operating system.

I'm working on a certificate in adult education and proposing that we start teaching the ingots material though, so I'll at least be teaching OOo down the track.. [07:12] teamz, what user agent? [07:12] I'll rephrase this [07:13] It's funny how easy it is to switch between OOo and MSOffice too.. in either direction.. [07:13] funny ? it was intentional [07:13] hello === Darlok_Williams is now known as Reformer81 [07:14] Jordan_U I did it and nothing changed... should I paste it to you again? [07:14] Harder to go to 2007 in my opinion.. wth were they thinking with that?! [07:14] I have installed LAMP and I access a software coded in php thru my webbrowser but I have to make sure i give the right permissions to the user who's accessing the software [07:14] * Agent_bob hasn't seen it. and doesn't do windows. [07:14] my ubuntu use too much cpu,it's alaways above 50%,and it's very easy goto 100%,what should i do? [07:14] zcat[1], "where do you want to be led today?" [07:15] Where can we drag you (kicking and screaming because we have all your files locked up) today [07:15] DaLiang turn off what ever is eating it. [07:15] Darlok, I've installed sun java, but the problem still persists. When I go to fr.games.yahoo.com and log in to literati it pops up a message and crashes. [07:15] teamz, I don't know how to code it, but php is usually run as the apache user [07:16] DaLiang three dee effects maybe ? [07:16] carlisle: What is the message? [07:16] "2. ensure the files + dirs in the docroot are readable by your [07:16] webserver-user. " [07:16] it says page tried to open a java applet [07:16] Agent_bob:I use top to see it,but i can't see what is use most http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/7553 [07:16] I want to use chown to that webserver-user [07:16] but I dont know the name of that user [07:16] or if I have to create it myself [07:16] and asks to either trust the applet or cancel. but it crashes in 2 seconds anyway [07:17] Agent_bob:3d effect I will try .Thank you very much [07:17] 9% xorg and 8% ff that's already 17% [07:17] Benalex, I assume you restarted X? [07:18] Jordan_U I restarted The whol system [07:18] teamz: chmod -R a+r (readable by all) [07:18] but i only see about 24% total there [07:18] Agent_bob:what's that mean? [07:18] Benalex, Then I don't have any other ideas at the moment [07:18] If it's on the web, presumably it's not a problem that other users on the box can also see it? [07:18] Jordan_U thanks for try :) [07:19] I use the monitor on panel [07:19] teamz, what user owns the apache process? [07:19] root [07:19] Agent_bob: The montor in panel [07:19] DaLiang just means that top only shows 24% cpu usage in that paste [07:19] teamz, that's wrong. it should be run as it's own user. Mine is www-data [07:19] well i'm not sure in fact, how do I chec k? [07:20] teamz, oh wait. maybe the first one is root, then forks are www-data [07:20] teamz, ps aux | grep apache [07:20] our servers are set up so everything is owned by root but readable by all.. that way if apache gets hacked they can't deface anything [07:20] www-data [07:20] except for the first one is root [07:20] If I install a server, is there any way that I can keep it running in the background and still have different users login and out on my local machine [07:22] why can i not understand that question Reformer81 ? [07:22] Agent_bob:Thank You very much, I know now,the monitor in panle is the state that cpu frquence [07:22] DaLiang :) [07:22] thx Seven_Six_Two [07:22] Reformer81: a server is just linux with some server processes.. you can still have user logins, even Gnome or KDE on top if you want.. [07:23] Agent_bob: Yeah, it's hard to really clarify. I want to run a web server with my computer... but I still want to be able to use it as my home system at the same time. [07:23] is Ubuntu better then windows? [07:23] Seven_Six_Two, gah now when i log in everything is white [07:23] ok [07:23] Reformer81 oh. then yes. i do that too. in fact a lot of people have a local apache or cherokee running [07:23] you can easily run apache in the background and still use your computer as a desktop [07:23] Reformer81: i do that with every desktop system i have hehehe [07:23] Reformer81: yah, just do a regular desktop install and then install apache / php5 / mysql-server and it will be a server, and still a plain desktop install [07:24] UbuntuNoob760, this is the ubuntu support channel; please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks. [07:24] this one's running apache too ... and squid ... and a sweet-as fusion/emerald desktop [07:24] hi [07:24] unless apache is getting hammared your not going to notice any diff in desktop performance [07:24] bazhang who is that too ? [07:25] zcat[1]: So even if I install it as a certain user, that user doesn't need to be logged in for the service to be running? [07:25] i want to do a dual boot ubuntu/kubuntu [07:25] Reformer81: apache gets installed as it's own user .. and runs all the time even when you log out [07:25] Agent_bob, he just quit [07:25] Seven_Six_Two, and when i ran glxgears it was only getting like, 6000fps [07:25] Reformer81 and you don't even have to let the world see the server if you don't want it accessable to the web [07:25] zcat[1]: Excellent, thank you. [07:26] hi. is there a terminal program that will open different color terminals. basically i ave several instances of the terminal open and i get confused between them [07:26] arkos49 ok. but why not just add kde to your ubuntu install rather than installing ubuntu twice ? [07:26] Agent_bob: should my web addresses start with hww. if it's only house-wide and not world-wide? ;) [07:26] no [07:27] zcat[1] you know that. why do you even ask [07:28] hehe, I just use ips .. too lasy to set up bind properly [07:28] hello [07:28] zcat[1]: Wouldn't that have suggested "house world wide," though? [07:28] how can i install c++ library? i have just installed ubuntu on my system [07:28] "house-wide web" [07:28] zcat[1]: Oh, duh. [07:28] * Reformer81 shuts up and sits amongts the ashes. [07:29] but www is an actual service [07:29] hww. would not be [07:29] nah, 'www' is just a convention.... [07:29] Experts20: get on commandline and execute "sudo apt-get install g++" [07:29] back when ppl would set aside a whole machine just for the webserver [07:29] thanks [07:30] Do I need to subscribe to or can I simply send a mail there?

[08:16] I'm doing a dist upgrade from 5.04 to 8.04 [08:16] madmn: and not running firestarter or any firewall rules on the server machine?

[08:17] Seven_Six_Two, If that does not work 5.04 -> 5.10 -> 8.04 may be safer [08:18] linux compatible antenna? what [08:18] anthenna? [08:18] why what Agent_bob [08:18] Janken1: this is a usb device? [08:18] a wireless internet receptor of those [08:18] i run windows firewall <<< why ? [08:18] failed dist-upgrade (6.10 to 7.04) need advice, wont boot [08:18] Mine is ZyAIR B-220 IEEE 802.11b [08:18] Seven_Six_Two, sorry, 5.04 -> 5.10 -> 6.06 -> 8.04 [08:18] i thought you must run a firewall to be safe [08:18] USB, yeah. [08:18] Jordan_U, yeah, but I have 8.04 cd to install from if it doesn't work [08:18] ew [08:18] have you gone to google about it? [08:18] it should still run should it not [08:19] I just didn't want to wait for the live cd because the pc is slow and doesn't have a lot of ram [08:19] the old USB ones were the worst things ever [08:19] I googled for it, no good results. [08:19] And the manufacturer is asian or soething I think. [08:19] madmn in linux if you aren't running any services "sshd apache telnetd..." why would you need a firewall ? [08:19] do you not want the windows firewall on ? [08:19] Seven_Six_Two, I doubt it will work :), you do know about the alternate install CD, correct? [08:19] you can upgrade 6.06 > 8.04? last time I asked I was sent to a web page at ubuntu.com that specifically said you couln't ... can ppl please make up their minds around here? [08:19] Agent_bob: to feel safer [08:20] okay on the linux box there is no firewall set [08:20] not that i am aware of [08:20] madmn: you could do what centos does [08:20] is there a way to check that [08:20] madmn iptables -L [08:20] they made a iptable rule set called RH-Firewall and shoved all the rules into that ;) [08:20] Jordan_U, yeah, but I don't have a working burner. I can use the live cd if I have to, I just expect it to be slow. I just built this pc from parts I had in a box. I'm surprised it turned on [08:20] it worked [08:20] thanks [08:20] zcat[1], 6.06 -> 8.04 is the only time you can skip because both are LTS releases [08:20] Then... Any wireless internet receiver that you suggest to use under Ubuntu? [08:21] Janken1: Interesting doesnt appear to be any linux drivers [08:21] What I said... [08:21] I'll let you all know in a few minutes if 5.04 to 8.04 is a bad idea [08:21] Belkin G [08:21] Janken1: check the wiki, theres like a big section on hardware compatibility [08:21] bye all. thanks a lot [08:21] lol [08:21] how can i see bootmessages during ubuntu boot? keycombination? [08:21] Jordan_U: that's what I was told.. and then someone else said no, that was wrong.. so now I'm totally confused [08:21] zcat[1] you can upgrade from any version to any other. but only incrimental upgrades are officially supported. [08:22] then there's no way to make what I have work? [08:22] Seven_Six_Two, If you do use the LiveCD keep the swap partition ( don't reformat it ), the LiveCD will make use of it automatically ( IIRC ) which should help [08:22] zcat[1] or should i say single step upgrades % [08:22] Deosnt appear to be so at this time. If you can plug a cable into the back of the computer and get on a wired connection maybe [08:22] how remove noise from file with the aid wav sox? I read man but I fail still. [08:22] Jordan_U, oh really? I didn't know that. I should have just done a reinstall from live then. I just dread live cd's on really old computers. [08:23] Agent_bob: well, I have to say that all of my upgrades (5 of them) and several that my friends have done have gone horribly wrong and ended up with a fresh install... so I'm not sure even single-step upgrades are really supported [08:23] Now for some stupid question: How do I remove the 1 after my nickname? [08:23] yes, I know some people have had better luck. But I seem to have a really bad time of it. [08:23] zcat[1], Unfortunately people say a lot of things on this channel which aren't true: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading "You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS from Ubuntu 7.10 or from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS." [08:23] is DNS hard to setup on Ubuntu [08:23] perhaps it's because I use cafuego and medibuntu repos all the time [08:23] hmm I upgraded this computer from 7.10 to 8.04 no problems [08:24] how can i manually re-setup sun-java-6 to work with firefox 2 on ubuntu hardy? it aks me to install the plugin, then returns already installed and java applets never render [08:25] Janken1, You ask Janken to give up his nick ;) [08:25] flaccid: Us apt to install java.. [08:25] anyhow, easy enough to reinstall, create users in the same order, then restore all the home directories ... does a pretty good job of picking up all the old config. [08:25] flaccid: Um hehe Use even [08:25] please, i really need some advice, failed a apt dist-upgrade, and ubuntu wont boot.

I did a grub repair and that worked but still hasn't added the latest kernel to menu.lst How do I get it there now? [08:29] Jordan_U, not really. familiar with chmod etc, very different? [08:29] Smegzor, sudo update-grub ? [08:29] :/ well that was a LOT easier than the way I repair grub! :D [08:30] thanks Jordan_U [08:30] madmn, is it your own server?

[08:31] madmn, maybe your isp blocked it. have you tried a different port? [08:31] almagest, mount your Ubuntu partition to /mnt ( or anywhere you want, it doesn't matter ) then run: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo chroot /mnt === huydq is now known as H4ck3rx [08:31] helo [08:31] i asked them and they don't block any ports [08:32] hmm.. sudo update-grub did list the kernel, but its STILL not in menu.lst. Maybe I'll see it if I reboot? [08:32] snarkster: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20790/ [08:32] madmn, my isp lies too...nothing new. My isp's tech support still says they don't throttle === Deceptico is now known as Decepticon [08:33] snarkster: console output shows it wants to use openjdk even though i changed to sun in update-alternatives [08:33] flaccid to be honest I have much better luck with 5 than with 6 [08:33] flaccid: then apt-ger purge openjdk [08:34] hi, anyone is using an ALC883 (through ATI SB) with Hardy and is getting stuttering sound? I cant find a way to fix that [08:34] flaccid that what the problem is [08:34] snarkster: yeah kind of defeats the purpose of this alternatives thing [08:34] is there a way to change my default "save as" location for a file type? [08:34] flaccid I agree but if you want whatever you want to work.. try it. [08:34] and also bad that the openjdk doesn't even work anyway [08:35] my point [08:35] it tries to work. :) [08:35] its 2008 and java problems are common still. hooray! :) [08:35] :D [08:35] hello [08:35] Could the Asus WL-167G be a nice idea?

I am connected to my network, however I am not getting assigned an ip address, I had the same problem with another laptop (similar), but when I installed ubuntu-desktop on it, it had no problems, I was able to use the network manager applet with gnome to connect to my network. Any ideas? am I missing some packages? [08:43] cause there are some things with SPDIF and HD/Audio stream (like HDCP with DVI, in some ways) [08:43] on windows it works fine with VLC for example (SPDIF) [08:44] ubuntu desktop install network-manager [08:44] ktwo_: yeah, but I suppose the driver does what it has to to put that in order. [08:44] kwto_: if you try using ASIO with windows, probably you won't have SPDIF anymore [08:44] Hi all, I am having trouble with my wireless card on my laptop. Is there anyone that can help? [08:44] snarkster: I already have network-manager, but still no luck [08:45] idefine: wireless you say? [08:45] idefine, are you using iwconfig to set your ssid, ap, wep etc?

[08:45] my point === orphean_ is now known as orphean [08:45] hmm so your basically saying that the linux driver is not equally good as the windows one [08:45] lol [08:45] true? [08:46] quit [08:46] kwto_: there was something about using "auto" in the /etc/asla/idontknowthefileanymore where there were some stuff about snd_hda_intel [08:46] Seven_Six_Two: no, I used the network manager applet (nm-applet 0.6.6) to connect to my network, I am getting full bars for signal strength, but no ip address [08:46] ktwo_: but I'm not on Ubuntu right now, and not with this kind of stuff on my computer. [08:47] well i also tried debian and suse. same prob :) [08:47] ktwo_: concerning the driver, I just tell that for HD hardwares, there are some politics under it, and there are some process of stream destruction (in the chips theirselves), and or stopping when using software which could lead to get the UD Audio Stream directly [08:48] kwto_: like ASIO driver under Windows which overrides the Windows volume manager [08:48] Jordan_U: booting the cd now, here is a stupid q. should i choose "try ubuntu without any change.." , and open a terminal when done? [08:48] ktwo_: I suppose you'll have the very same problem on every linux machine [08:48] ktwo_: but, by the way, I found the solutions on Ubuntu forums, and it lays in this modification of this /etc/alsa file [08:48] damn, was happy to get my wlan running, and didnt notice about the sound at first time :> [08:49] Nobody knows about setting this ulimit to 4096? [08:49] almagest, Yes [08:50] Seven_Six_Two: any ideas?

[08:57] timandtom: If it sin the trashcan yes. [08:57] Agent_bob: OK, I'm going to try (even if I don't understand how users could be allowed to through this /etc/profile, as they aren't directly in bash) [08:57] snarkster: And if it's not? :( [08:57] timandtom: There are tools but youll need luck [08:57] timandtom: and alot of time [08:57] orl if you set the ulimit in /etc/profile it becomes read-only and the user can't unset it if you set the same in your users .bash.bashrc it's user writable [08:57] snarkster: What tools :D And by luck, do you just mean so that it's not been overwritten with temp files? [08:57] Agent_bob: OK that's why! [08:58] timandtom: yes and other things [08:58] almagest, Have you setup the chroot yet? [08:58] how do i exit Package configuration for installing Java? [08:58] Agent_bob: thanks! [08:58] orl you can also set limits from pam see /etc/security/* [08:58] Jordan_U: just ran the dpkg command. it sets up alot of things now, what exactly did i just do? [08:58] snarkster: Ok, so basically just like on Windows then :P I've recovered stuff on windows before, just not on Ubuntu. What do I need? [08:59] orl that might even be safer for all login sessions. [08:59] how do i exit Package configuration for installing Java? [08:59] Agent_bob: that's what I've been trying yesterday, but with reboot the line I added was commented every time! [08:59]  I am trying to burn a CD using Brasero, everytime it says 100%, then ejects the CD, and ask to put back in for data integrity check, but when I do so, the disk appears as blank disk, also tried with k3b and the nautilus burn:/// [08:59] timandtom: looking [08:59] if i leave a pm for someone then log off they will still get the pm right? [08:59] Agent_bob: weird, isn't it?

[09:00] idefine, your ssid isn't set [09:00] Agent_bob: I've to say, I'm much more a debianist, and I'm not so used to non-root things, so perhaps I made it wrong [09:00] almagest, You is finishing all of the package updates that were interrupted when the upgrade failed [09:00] almagest, *are :) [09:00] idefine, so your wep or wpa key probably isn't [09:00] Seven_Six_Two: right, shouldn't the network-manager applet set that when it connects to a network. [09:00] orl yeah wonder what is writing there... you can set the file immutable to find what is writing to it, it will probably throw error messages all over the place. [09:01] Agent_bob: sorry my English is too bad, I didn't understand what you meant, could you tell it another way? [09:01] almagest, Hopefully when you reboot your system will be completely upgraded [09:01] well the person i pm'd is still logged on but away from computer. when they come back won't they see my pm? even tho i'm logged off? [09:01] snarkster, I can't, haven't registered on here :( Unless they've changed that recently? [09:01] idefine, I would think so, but you can do it by hand too [09:02] I just installed an FTP server named proftpd .... how do find out what the URL of it is so it can be accessed? Help Please [09:02] Wispring, where did you install it? [09:02] Wirspring: localhost:25? [09:02] Wispring: generally services like ftp, ssh, telnet etc have conf files located in /etc/ [09:02] I used Apt-get [09:02] legend2440, yes they will. [09:02] Seven_Six_Two: hmm, yeah, I wanted to automate it however, make it simple. any ideas how ubuntu-desktop deos it? [09:02] Wispring: the interface the device listens on will be in /etc (probably /etc/proftpd.conf) [09:03] ok thanks bazhang [09:03] np :) [09:03] ok ill look at that proftpd.conf thanks [09:03] idefine, no I'm not sure. I set it by hand on my mom's laptop, but I've only got desktops. If you're not getting an ip, then somehow the authentication failed [09:03] Wispring: also, netstat -tpan |grep 21 should tell you [09:03] almagest, I have to get some sleep now, good luck [09:03] how do i exit Package configuration for installing Java? [09:03] how do i exit Package configuration for installing Java? [09:03] orl yes. if you edit /etc/security/access.conf as root, and setup a process limit there. then when you reboot if it gets reset, here is a test you can use to find what is changing it. sudo chattr +i /etc/security/access.conf that will make the file "immutable" unchangable and if something tries to change it when you reboot, there will be error messages and you can find what is changing it. [09:04] Jordan_U: you have no idea how important that would be. thanks for the help! [09:04] <[matrim]> is there anyway to deactivate a user in ubuntu server? [09:04] orl understand ?

Thats why your resolution on login is not as it should be. [10:07] i used envy to install the latest atidrivers i have a hd2600 [10:07] Starnestommy: Can you suggest a workaround? I've already completely removed and reinstalled all OOffice packages but it keeps freezing. [10:07] [ 1 -lt "methoods of ddefuring a felion" ] && echo "you must be using linux" any geek that gets that spends too much time looking at a console. [10:08] darkstar: I'm not sure. I've never had that problem, although I've stuck with 7.10 instead of upgrading to 8.04 [10:08] darkstar: Have you removed openoffice with synaptic or? [10:09] Starnestommy: I am sure u've done the right thing.. Since my move to 8.04 I have discovered lots of problems.. Feisty was much more reliable..... [10:10] ePax: Yes and I have reinstalled from the repositories, 'coz I thought my install disk had corrupted packages. But it still didn't work... [10:10] darkstar: What errors do you get? [10:11] ePax: it freezes at the Splash screen.. [10:12] darkstar: At splash screen? try to change your theme to default or remove openoffice-gtk [10:12] ePax: going to do it right now.. BRB [10:13] the sound in my computer sounds muffled is ther a reason why this could be happening? [10:14] darkstar: remove openoffice.org-gtk [10:14] nosa-j the ogain set too low the pcm too low ?

[10:18] hi all. I have a problem with pm-utils: hibernation doesn't work. the log tells me "write error: No space left on device" -- so the problem seems obvious, but... i have 32 gig left on my root partiton. so where is it trying to write the hibernation file too? how do i configure which partition it uses for that? [10:19] ePax: do you think that is related to theme I am using? [10:19] do i need to do this as a kernel param? does it have to use a skap partition, or can it be a regular file somewhere? [10:20] my swap isn't large enough, i'm afraid :/ === Tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [10:20] maybe it related with your home? [10:20] Duesentrieb_, [10:21] Duesentrieb_ swap has to hold all of ram. for sw/suppend to woek [10:21] lo all [10:21] quinn: that would be very unlikely. because it has to work before any user is even logged in, right? [10:21] darkstar: It can be the problem but it doesnt have to be... you can allways try [10:21] * ePax off [10:21] ActionParsnip [10:22] Agent_bob: no way around that? hrm.... i'll have to shift partitons around... that sucks :( [10:22] Duesentrieb_ or pull some ram :))) [10:22] * N3bunel saluta [10:22] Agent_bob: but once i got that, does it find the right partition automatically? or do i need to tell it? [10:22] ePax: I am literally going crazy with this. [10:23] Agent_bob: well, thanks for now. I'm happy at least suspend now works, thanks to the -19 kernel. though there's still a problem with the video mode when restoring to text mode (restoring to vt7 is fine) [10:23] Duesentrieb_ you can check the settings in /etc/mkinitramfs/* iirc [10:24] /etc/initramfs-tools/ ? [10:24] how do i edit text files which i dont have permission to? [10:24] i tried navigating using nautilus [10:24] that's where the initramfs setting for where to check if it was swapped out no mkinitramfs/ [10:24] didnt work [10:25] Agent_bob: that doesn't exist [10:25] Duesentrieb_ /etc/mkinitramfs/hooks/* maybe not sure. [10:25] Wargasm: sudo [10:25] /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/ exists but is empty [10:25] should i type sudo nautilus then? [10:25] Where else does ubuntu put KDE startup programs other than .~ [10:25] Wargasm: you should sudo *whatevereditor* [10:26] ** ~/.kde/Autostart ?? [10:26] Duesentrieb_ umm then they have moved it in 8.4 and i can't look it up for you. [10:26] ok [10:26] ePax: reverted to the 'classic' Human theme but it still freezes right after splash... Maybe I can try logging as a different user and see if the problem exists as well... [10:26] Agent_bob: i'll figure it out. thanks so far. [10:26] Duesentrieb_ i think there is a file in /proc you can look at too. [10:26] give me a sec [10:27] err never mind. it won't be on my system anyway. i don't have suspend setup. [10:28] so i can't find it for you [10:28] Duesentrieb_ looks like i can't do much for you on that one. [10:28] !suspend [10:28] Factoid suspend not found [10:29] !hybernate [10:29] Factoid hybernate not found [10:29] oh well. [10:29] !hibernate [10:29] Factoid hibernate not found [10:29] bah :) [10:29] Agent_bob: i'll try to get a larger swap partition and hope it just works :) [10:30] because currently, it deos spend a minute to write stuff to disk, and then fails. so i guess it does know where to write it [10:30] Duesentrieb_ setup a larger swap and then rebuild your initramfs [10:30] why do i need to rebuidl my ramfs (and how do i do that?) [10:31] so it will know where to look when it tries to "wakeup" [10:31] mkinitramfs? [10:31] update-initramfs [10:31] well, as i said, there's a kernel param for that. shouldn't that work? [10:31] hm, ok, thanks. will look into it [10:31] in grub ? yeah but i'd update it anyway [10:31] Agent_bob: that fixed my audio problem thanks keep up the good work [10:32] nosa-j can't have to do other things. maybe you can take over for me :) [10:32] Agent_bob: lol i voulf ytu [10:32] ops lol [10:32] i could try [10:32] * [10:33] :) [10:33] nosa-j: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:55] hai, i was wondering if it was possible to use the intrepid alpha 1 kernel with hardy? the Hardy kernel doesn't work with my laptop (ACPI issues) [10:55] NewBeginer, you will see if you have problems; focus now on just getting a good burn of that iso and booting from the livecd [10:55] orphean, mm.. that would be tough :( [10:56] orphean, do you have any reference i can read on this? [10:56] Darkside, that is in #ubuntu+1 [10:56] ok [10:56] how to download a new login screen [10:56] My emesene wont start it gives an error like this when i login "Error during login, please retry (server error) what do i do wrong? [10:56] hey guys.. other than sourceforce.. wheres a good place to search for 'help wanted' open source projects? [10:56] there is a way to start flightgear(the open source flight simulator) with the options panel? because i'd like to change aircraft... [10:57] u007: agreed :) Well if you have no experience with this sort of thing you have a huge uphill climb. just a fair warning. If there is a file named configure in the programs directory search for the autoconf documentation. If there's not, search for the GNU make docs [10:57] u007: both are on gnu's site [10:57] EvolElm0, that is outside of the scope of this support channel; how about asking in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:57] kk thx bazhang [10:58] try irc.freenode.net [10:58] orphean, ugh.. okay... [10:58] Anyone who knows what to do about "ide: failed upcode was: unknown" [10:58] ?? [10:59] where can i download a new login screen [10:59] i download from ubuntu is ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386 [10:59] iso [10:59] NisseHult: there's probably something wrong with your ide drives or your bios settings [10:59] now i use nero image to burn it into blank cd-right now [10:59] swamych: gnome-look.org You want to look at the GDM themes. [11:00] Starnestommy Any idea of how I can fix it? [11:00] NewBeginer, then set in bios to boot from cd as you restart computer with cd in drive tray [11:00] swamych: try gdm themes in synaptic [11:00] can i use power iso to burn the ubuntu iso image into blank cd? [11:00] NisseHult: check your BIOS, your IDE cables, and your drives' jumpers [11:01] NewBeginer: if it can burn an ISO to the blank cd, it should be ok. [11:01] anyone knows with dpkg --configure -a does [11:01] ok [11:01] now i need to set the speed of burn [11:01] it looks like it updates all out dated pkgs for ubuntu [11:02] which speed i need to choose [11:02] 4x or 8 x? [11:02] klikz: it configures all unpacked but unconfigured packages [11:02] Starnestommy: Okay I'll have a look at that, does boot sequence any differense because thats the only setting in BIOS that i have changed, everything else i default... [11:02] NisseHult: that might not have an effect [11:02] also curious to find out if anyone has ran drupal on ubuntu [11:02] Hey People! Is it possible to set up the Gnome Terminal in a way, that when I open a new Tab, bash is in the same folder as the bash in the other tab? [11:02] maltedik: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/312141/ [11:02] NewBeginer: do you know how fast your cd burner is? If you don't , choose 4x (it will take longer) [11:03] i dunno [11:03] What program will play a file 'beep_1.au'? http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/312141/ [11:03] klikz: I have, but I used a copy from drupal's site, not one from the package manager [11:03] If anybody can point me in the right direction, for my Login Screen, it is only showing a portion of it, i can only see Ubunt with the u cut off at the end, and the bottom of the screen is just below the section to type in username/password, can anybody tell me how to fix this? [11:03] try [11:03] maybe as you said just put 4x. it's tht okay? [11:03] mg: open terminal here [11:03] NewBeginer, that is fine [11:03] Starnestommy: The computer is a laptop that noone has ever touched so I can't see how it could be any problem with the cables or jumpers [11:03] all right. thanks [11:03] bazhang will you be around everyday? [11:04] NewBeginer, sadly yes :) [11:04] then good [11:04] i can look forward help from u [11:04] I have no life.

[11:06] BobDingley: likley your virtual screen is larger than your real screen, so move the mouse around against the screen edges. [11:06] BobDingley: That means the window manager isn't running. That's... odd. [11:06] bazhang: i dont have windows intalled [11:06] anyone know a software that can burn .iso files to usb stick? [11:07] adityag, gparted may be able to do that [11:07] i want to make my usb stick like a bootable winxp cd [11:07] !info gparted | adityag [11:07] BobDingley: if that does not woork, guess is likely right.

[11:12] adityag, is this for the internal drive or an external one [11:12] empty, again no cursing (second warning) [11:13] me: there is no program to do that. but you don't need one. Just format the stick to whatever filesystem you want, then mount the iso file that contains an installer, point it to the stick and go. [11:13] empty, check logs see if anything happening [11:13] bazhang: sorry im getting nasty IRC lag, didnt see the first warning [11:13] me: If you are trying to install windowsxp onto from inside ubuntu you will need to try to use wine or something to run the setup.exe program on the iso.

[11:18] i installed gparted, what to do next ? [11:18] can someone tell me why torrents with transmission are usually a third of the speeds i would get with utorrent? how do i forward ports? [11:18] adit: select your drive from the pull down list in the top right corner, find the partition you want to convert and right-click - format to [11:19] selcol: goto www.getdeb.net and download/install Deluge... it's a lot better at downloading torrents... and looks/feels just like uTorrent [11:19] Da_Putzler: What does free -m report? [11:19] does anyone here use banshee? [11:19] are working with office 2007 documents possible on ubuntu yet? [11:19] Da_Putzler: i tried deluge before and the speed is still slow [11:19] ok, i think my computer is stuffed, i have had Compiz running on my computer fine for the last 4 weeks at least, now it just isnt working, think it may be affecting my window manager, how do i re-install it to the default settings? [11:19] Da_Putzler: how do i open gparted, there is no option for gparted in system,applications [11:19] 757 total, 709 used, 48 free ??? wtf ??? [11:20] Hi all srry wife using cleaner ... dog tryin to kill it [11:20] adit: gparted comes under system -> admin - partition editor [11:20] selocol: did you run the speed wizard to configure deluge ? it really helps [11:21] Da_Putzler: ok ill give that a try thanks [11:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821435 adityag [11:21] orphean: why does it differ so much from the system monitor results ? [11:21] GibbaTheHut: nothing unusual, i checked most of the logs.. dmesg, debug, syslog, acpid, etc.. T_T [11:21] Da_Putzler: I believe that gnome-system-monitor doesn't deal with cached memory. whereas the rest of them see that the memory is cached and report the 'correct' amount free. [11:21] Da_Putzler, deluge is in repos please let selocol know that [11:22] !find deluge [11:22] Found: deluge-torrent, deluge-torrent-common [11:22] but don't take my word on it. :) [11:22] bazhang: yeah i was planning on doing that thanks [11:22] old version of deluge is in repos, brand new version is at www.getdeb.net [11:22] !info deluge-torrent [11:22] deluge-torrent (source: deluge-torrent): A Bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK.

[11:22] Da_Putzler, nonetheless not good advice [11:22] thx orphean [11:22] The strangest thing is that my Cedega refuses to start T_T [11:23] why would ubuntu use/cache so much memory to begin with ? [11:23] I tought it only needed 192mb to run [11:24] NewBeginer8, which drivers [11:24] Da_Putzler: it just keeps it around in case it needs to be used again. if something needs it it gets freed [11:24] Da_Putzler: sort of like a non-crappy version of superfetch in vista [11:24] NewBeginer8, best to boot from livecd (with ethernet if possible) then troubleshoot from there [11:24] right... I just dont like things hogging memory if it's not required... but so long as it gets free'd, it's kewl [11:25] in trying to perform the latest update, which has the new -19 kernel in there, I am getting errors saying certain files are not able to be fetched.... what gives? [11:25] zeth: try going into synaptic package manager and marking all updated, then apply [11:25] i'm having bad connection here right now [11:26] NewBeginer2, you on livecd now? [11:26] Da_Putzler: I'll try that.. [11:26] not yet. [11:26] finish burning [11:26] i'm still 8 office [11:26] my laptop is at home [11:26] anyone using openbox here ? [11:26] so going to ask properly before i install ubuntu [11:27] NewBeginer2, best to try livecd before you install [11:27] Da_Putzler: If it really bothers you, you can change how the kernel deals with it by editing /prov/sys/vm/swappiness 0 means as much in memory as possible, 100 means swap out programs that aren't running. And anything in between is a percentage of the two. [11:27] Da_Putzler: */proc/sys/vm/swappiness [11:27] live cd? [11:27] Hi. Anybody here know about creating identical servers for load balancing [11:27] ? [11:27] the one i download just now? [11:28] n i burn it? [11:28] orphean: what do you have it set to ? [11:28] NewBeginer2, yes the cd you are burning now is a live cd, that allows you to run before you install [11:28] Da_Putzler: no idea, whatever the default hardy one is ;) let me check [11:28] oic [11:28] okay [11:28] Da_Putzler: 60 [11:29] i always thought swappiness dealt with how the virtual memory was accessed.... lol [11:29] hai [11:29] but then, boot with live cd...what step do i need to do? [11:29] I have a CMS with a db on one server but I need the content from the CMS to be identical accross all my webservers. The actual load balancing isn't an issue but there is very little info about how to maintain identical servers [11:29] i was install ubuntu on my comp [11:29] Da_Putzler: well it is sorta [11:29] anybody have any advice or guidance? [11:29] but i have problem [11:29] NewBeginer2, when you start up (with the cd in) then go to bios and set to boot from cd first [11:29] hi. how can i uninstall previous version of kernel?

Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [11:49] Jack_Sparrow, I know I might switch to vt1 [11:49] err https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/ [11:49] adityag: ofcourse [11:49] NisseHult, no cursing [11:50] Jack_Sparrow, I've fiddled with hardware problems before, but that's nothing to do with the graphics problem, right, acpi is power management and stuff [11:50] zaggynl: and vise-versa ? [11:50] and quiet and splash are just about verbosity [11:50] adityag: also (: [11:50] Sorry... [11:50] markvandenborre correct [11:50] as far as I know, it's a difference in installation options, but I wouldn't know exactly the differences [11:51] !server [11:51] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [11:51] and I'm back! :D [11:51] ah, kernel as well [11:51] thanks for you people today...milion thanks. i think i need to go right now. hehehe, i can't wait to see ubuntu. [11:51] NewBeginer2: no problem hope to see you soon [11:51] markvandenborre turning off quiet can let you see an error during the boot process that might be causing the issue.... What hardware are we talking about [11:51] bye. best regards from me as a very very beginer. [11:51] OMG now it's telling me to Safely Remove my harddrive!!!! [11:52] Is there a channel here for vmware or only virtualbox? [11:52] How can I disable the menu while i click ALT+Right click mouse in a window ( i tried the keystroke) but i foudn nothing thx [11:53] Zaiden yes they have channels..... vbox for example [11:53] Zaiden: #vbox for virtualbox, #vmware for vmware [11:53] zaggynl: it doesnt offer GUI like ubuntu desktop edition??? i need to install server specific applications after i install desktop application [11:53] zaggynl: so its better to install server edition only for me!! [11:53] adityag: Then just use the regular install CD, and then put server stuff on later [11:53] How can I disable the menu while i click ALT+Right click mouse in a window ( i tried the keystroke) but i foudn nothing thx [11:53] adityag: for a server, running a gui isn't very resource friendly/secure === pucko_ is now known as pucko- [11:54] zaggynl: understand that,but it will take a lot of time to install those server specific applications after installing desktop edition [11:55] shenlong Please hold down the repeats, we see the question.. And what application are you running that you need to alt-rt click [11:55] adityag: Which servers are you going to put on? [11:55] so i am asking about server edition, it takes a couple of days to install those applications on desktop edition [11:55] its just a test server, [11:56] adityag: Right, but what programs? [11:56] postgresql, mysql,php,java,apache [11:56] I doubt it'd take that more time [11:56] just an apt-get and configuring [11:57] adityag: That won't take hardly any time at all, yeah. [11:57] !lamp | adityag [11:57] adityag: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [11:57] adityag: you can install lamp with tasksel, it will take you less than a couple of minutes [11:57] you all are professional, i am not [11:57] adityag: no, it's because Ubuntu makes it easy. Check out that page for specific instructions as well.

[12:36] shenlong understood, but others that play it have run across the same problem and will have a fix [12:36] Kartagis: Because -generic can do 386, and a lot of other things as well.

[12:47] NetM: there should be option text install on livecd after it boots menu if i recall corectly [12:47] ikonia - So how do you explain the full system having the same issues?

[12:48] TheBeatles: no, thats not what I'm saying, burn the iso to a cd, and boot from it to install, however make sure you installs share a /boot partition [12:48] ikonia - At first i thought it was a broken download so tried re-doing for the chroot one, and had the same issues. Thats why i thought download issue/repo fault [12:49] NetM: i dont know what parameter could he gave you :/ [12:49] can't anyone give me an advice?? [12:49] Ook then [12:49] anybody listening ???

[17:03] emorris: ok [17:03] yes about 4 times [17:03] dbrewer_rjr, oh then you need rsync [17:04] my problem is this : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [17:04] Kaippally: Alt+F2, type Fonts, press enter, paste all new fonts there, run sudo fc-cache -v -f on terminal, you may need to logout [17:04] HardDisk, banshee doesn't appear to play them, are you sure about the other two? [17:04] !fonts |Kaippally [17:04] ha Ha Kaippally is here [17:04] Kaippally: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [17:04] amy_, manual. [17:04] Luhta, if it's DRM forget about it. [17:04] HardDisk: yup i know rsync, i just wanted to know if I can configure a fail-over system that writes to 2 places at once. [17:04] emorris: now my awn is working as i change visual effects to extra [17:04] guys Kaippally ws bashing linux as it is not giveing him out of box experience :P [17:04] Luhta, these apps do work with ipods. that I am 100% positive. [17:04] HardDisk, Manual gives three number options to choose, but no model names, or anything, how do i know which option to choose? [17:05] how many RAM can recognize ubuntu? [17:05] dbrewer_rjr, so basically two sessions of rsync simultaneously [17:05] my problem is this : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [17:05] amy_, latest one is 173.xxx [17:05] HardDisk, version 169.12, 96.43.05 or 71.86.04 [17:05] capri: ok, can you move windows? [17:05] RUMMY: I had 4G on another system, and it did recognize.... [17:05] HardDisk, -nod- so my only option is download them via questionable sources? (reminder I did buy them already) [17:05] yes [17:05] RUMMY: 32bit is up to 3.5GB (4gb) 64 bit is more than you will have [17:05] HardDisk, hm, don't see that, so try 169? [17:06] Luhta, I can't answer that sorry. [17:06] C_Jack, is this an error message? [17:06] emorris: yes .. i can see my minimize and other buttons [17:06] tanks [17:06] I tried to run make and got some missing files. I don't know what they do. They are at the end of this pastebin. http://pastebin.com/m61ef9b5f [17:06] thanks [17:06] amy_, sure. that will work [17:06] HardDisk, -nod- I understand ^^ [17:06] emorris: ok, so now you just want to setup draw fire on the screen? [17:06] yes then i try tu control volume, or listen to music [17:06] tu-to [17:07] I've been $sudo telinit 1; telinit 5 to reinitialize the usb devices, was wondering if there's a script in /etc/init.d that does this. [17:07] capri: ok, so now you just want to setup draw fire on the screen? do you have either compiz settings manager or simple compiz settings manager installed? [17:07] hello everyone, the other day i noticed there were some files missing in my system, then i did a find / -name .... the think is that those missing files appeared in a weird directory called .fr-Ue5l7e, has anybody know if there is an application that creates this directory or why did this happened? [17:07] yes [17:07] Kaippally: its /usr/share/fonts/ infact.... the actual dir [17:07] benpicco_ yes [17:08] capri: which? [17:08] C_Jack, does http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121621 help? [17:08] let me see [17:08] compizconfig settings manage [17:08] lclimber: what sort of files? files from applications or personal files? if application - which one? [17:08] emorris: yes ... compiz settings manage [17:09] emorris: personal files, actually it was a whole directory [17:09] Is it possible to encrypt the harddrive when installing with the regular ubuntu cd? or do you need the alternate? [17:09] So today is download day for FF3. Is anyone going to download it from mozilla's website? Or is everyone going to wait till it hits the repos, and how long after it's released do you think it will actually hit the repos [17:09] krim: you need alternate [17:10] capri: tick paint fire on the screen, then go in to it and see what the keyboard shortcut is [17:10] amy_, sorry I made a mistake, apparently it may not work, after you install it, you can see if it works, if not you will need the latest drivers [17:10] C_Jack, or https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/27909, or just http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=apd&q=ubuntu+No+volume+control+GStreamer+plugins+and%2For+devices+found.&btnG=Suche&meta= [17:10] ASULutzy: download it from mozilla for records [17:10] dystopianray: Ok thanks [17:10] amy_, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.08.html [17:10] lclimber: where was .fr-Ue5l7e?

Did it make stuff like downloading torrents, unpacking stuff, watching movies slower? [17:11] Salut [17:11] HardDisk, did i need to do anything inside nvidia-settings? [17:11] m4jkl, TuniX12: Yea, I'm familiar with the record... I may just download it and install it to my XP VM and wait for the repos for my ubuntu install [17:11] emorris: Inititate (key) disable .. inititate (button) shift+super+button1 [17:11] bousteur: salut rejoins #ubuntu-fr [17:12] how would I solve this?

[17:13] amy_, did you run nvidia-settings after you installed? [17:13] yes .. right do the window size small and then back to normal [17:13] amy_, if it doesn't work, you may have to remove the driver via envy (sorry) and install http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.08.html [17:13] capri: i don't understand [17:13] Is rss-grab desklet broken in hardy?

[17:14] HardDisk, i ran nvidia-settings, and it showed a list of items, and a quit option, did i need to manipulate anything in that list/ [17:15] or would it be easier if i just removed the driver and did the 173 version? [17:15] amy_, you had to run sudo nvidia-xconfig first then restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace) THEN run sudo nvidia-settings [17:15] i did [17:15] amy_, ok in that case remove the driver via envy again and install the newer driver. [17:15] amy_, I didn't realize you were on the 9800 I read it different [17:16] anyone using epiphany here ?

[17:30] ikonia, well,thenby all means tellthepersonhow [17:30] nootrope: the answer is to not do it, it's not out yet [17:30] emorris1: tt worked with shfit+alt+uparrowkey [17:30] (bad spacebar) [17:31] emorri1: i can see small windows [17:31] HardDisk ls /etc/init.d [17:31] i know ikonia, just wanted to know if there is an ISO available [17:31] Ya mouseboyx it ain't released yet.

[17:31] does anyone know where they list all the bug fix's or change logs for kernels increments on ubuntu hardy? i see an update but i've been through quite a few this month and was curious what they are fixing [17:31] HardDisk, still recognizes that X is running, can i kill it from that session? [17:31] cuco: there is an iso available, but it's not targeted at a pen drive [17:31] It will release in 30 minutes i think or somethign [17:31] whatever [17:32] chazco: I tried to look for a bug related but couldn't find. My opinion is that you should force remove and reinstall this package [17:32] argghh, ok, so i ll do it the hard way [17:32] peacelover, im in #firefox in Mozilla [17:32] dudus - I'm trying to, i cant!

[17:37] amy_, yes [17:37] I'm wanting to ensure that I've uninstalled something completely. This is a source code package that I downloaded, compiled, and installed. Thus far, I've done a "make clean". Is there anything else I should do to remove this program? [17:38] Hello, I'm having some trouble installing "ubuntu-xen-server" on hardy. [17:38] output i got was :::cannot execute binary file [17:38] chazco: Still got the url ?

[17:40] Has anyone encountered this problem? [17:40] HardDisk, thanks, I'll try that. Hopefully is more stable than gdesklets [17:41] When trying to install ubuntu, it goes to BusyBox [17:41] nucco: Thanks [17:41] poor chazco [17:41] I knew how to fix his problem =) [17:42] does anyone know if a there is a visual basic program out for linux yet? i've been searching on google but was unsuccessful [17:42] !vb [17:42] wizzo_: VB is a windows application, mono is as close as it gets [17:42] there is a bug in gnome-panel [17:42] the not expanded panel can't remember the orientation and it can't move to the other place unless make it expand [17:42] is there a fix released? [17:42] Factoid vb not found [17:42] pen: what is the bug number? [17:42] HardDisk, when i rebooted in, it gave me some menu about low graphics settings, should i set the card up there, or should i just use the VESA driver and do nvidia-settings? [17:42] emorri1: some of the effects are working :P [17:42] trying for cude [17:43] capri: Have you tried seeking support in #compiz-fusion ? [17:43] amy_, did you run sudo nvidia-settings? [17:43] ikonia: my friend, who is using windows, sent me some programming he wants me to look at, will mono let me at least view it? [17:43] hi all, where i can find network interfaces descriptions or informations? [17:43] wizzo_: not really [17:43] wizzo_: unless it's .net [17:43] what/where is the compiz manager? [17:43] no [17:43] pen, perhaps that is the way the panel is designed to work [17:43] Anyone got any idea why epiphany might suddenly have stopped loading web pages? I was trying to adjust the proxy settings using about:config, then suddenly it stopped responding properly and now when I use it it doesn't open any web pages. [17:43] but few of them are working [17:43] like windows wobby [17:43] HardDisk, the nvidia installer wanted me to reboot, so i did after it was completed, before i hit gdm, it popped up this thing about low graphics display mode, or something like that [17:44] rotating desktop [17:44] HardDisk, and is now letting me choose display drivers, and such. [17:44] amy_: what nvidia installer ? [17:44] amy_, if it loads VESA you have to do sudo nvidia-xconfig again, because nvidia-settings won't work with VESA loaded, nvidia-xconfig loads the nvidia driver [17:44] fuck you nigras [17:44] amy_, can you see nvidia? [17:44] when running apt-get -f install I get: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libmono-sqlite2.0-cil_1.9.1+dfsg-1~bpo40+1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/mono/gac/Mono.Data.SqliteClient/2.0.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll', which is also in package mono-data-sqlite . what should I do to solve it? [17:44] cool pullis [17:44] you kiss ya mama with that mouth lol [17:45] HardDisk, there's an Nvidia option (which failed the test) and an nv option (which passed the test), but asked if i wanted to keep the configuration [17:45] amy_, nv is the opensource driver, it's not like the nvidia... [17:45] ate amanha [17:45] amy_, ok choose nv for now and boot in [17:46] is there anyway to reclaim space taking up by "lost+found " directory on a ext3 external backup drive ? anyway to max out the available space ? [17:46] ikonia: sorry, quick question, probably dumb, but do you think it would be possible to run visual basic off of wine? [17:46] wizzo_: maybe [17:46] hello [17:47] avis: delete the files in lost+found [17:47] ikonia: lol better than a no, guess i'll give it a shot, thanks for your help though :) [17:47] nucco: no, I found the bugtracker [17:47] wizzo_: welcome [17:47] nucco: it is a BUG [17:47] pen: whats the bug number [17:47] this is odd, o boot up this morning and get a pop saying cpu frquency scaling is not available on my laptop... rebooted into older kernel and same message, my processor y pegged at top of range [17:47] and it is a very old BUG [17:47] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/15442 [17:47] avis: typically l+f uses zero space [17:47] Launchpad bug 15442 in gnome-panel "panels change their position between logins" [Unknown,Confirmed] [17:47] ikonia: there is a temporary fix [17:47] thanks Frogzoo [17:47] pen: if a fix is released, you don't need to do anything to get it... it will either land in updates, or depending, in the next version of ubuntu [17:48] frequency scaling was working perfectly before [17:48] nucco: I don't want to wait for 3 4 more months [17:48] Does anybody know why when I try to install a package it wouldn't pick it up if it's listed here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/linux-restricted-modules-xen/2.6.24.19.21 [17:48] nucco: and I don't think they (ubuntu team) will focus on fixing this [17:48] I booted up a custom kernel last night 2.6.25.7 and it worked, turned it off, booted up this morning and now getting the error about frequency scaling not available [17:48] nucco: they don't care [17:48] nucco: I think I will just have to open a new one again [17:48] pen: it's a gnome bug that looks like it's going nowhere, - hassle the gnome developers, not ubuntu [17:49] where is in /proc is frequency scaling stuff? [17:49] pen: consider your options then. [17:49] ikonia: ok thats not hard [17:49] pen: ubuntu can't fix it, gnome devs can [17:49] pen: opening a new one won't help. [17:49] nucco: do you have that bug too? [17:49] pen: I use full sized panels. [17:49] pen: it's very dissapointing it's still marked as "new" [17:49] ikonia: yea [17:50] pen: or you can check GNOME's bugzilla and file it there if absent === neurobuntu is now known as slayton [17:50] nucco: the bug is in gnomes bugzilla and not being progressed desite being marked as major [17:50] Hi guys! [17:50] ikonia: don't know what the ubuntu team is thinking, this is not a big fix or something [17:50] can someone help me get my dual head up and running? [17:51] ikonia: or gnome team [17:51] pen: it's nothing to do with ubuntu [17:51] ikonia: free software has its pains too... sadly [17:51] pen: could be a big fix, I don't know how it all links together on the display front [17:51] ikonia: debian team [17:51] pen: again - nothing to do with debian [17:51] its small pen [17:51] nucco: nothing is perfect, [17:51] mouseboyx: ? small what? [17:51] I know [17:51] Do i have to burn the alternate CD to upgrade ubuntu? [17:52] Confined to one thing pen. [17:52] Drk_Guy: If you're upgrading from one version of ubuntu to another you don't need the cd [17:52] Drk_Guy: Run the update-manager [17:52] EvilDennisR: I downloaded the 8.04 alternate CD [17:52] As the docs said [17:52] anybody here have experience with Nvidia Dual Head? [17:52] Drk_Guy: Are you upgrading from an existing version of ubuntu thats currently running, to another ? [17:52] Drk_Guy, yes [17:53] hello [17:53] EvilDennisR: Yeah [17:53] Drk_Guy, if you want to do it offline [17:53] Drk_Guy: sudo update-manager [17:53] HardDisk: Yeah, offline, so i can upgrade more machines [17:53] i've never installed a firewall in linux or ubuntu. any suggestions [17:53] Drk_Guy, but it is recommended to do it via update-manager as EvilDennisR said [17:54] if you know the names of a good one. i can probably get it installed myself [17:54] Drk_Guy, as there are newer packages/kernels [17:54] hi, is there any software like nvidia-setting for ati ? [17:54] k, i want to put some important documents on my computer, however i only want access and want to make sure no else gets access [17:54] toasterb0y: its installed by default try ufw in terminal [17:54] toasterb0y ubuntu comes with a firewall built in [17:54] How do I see the package metadata for a package? (maintainer, url, md5sum, etc.) [17:54] HardDisk: I personally dnt have internet access in the machine im upgrading [17:54] Drk_Guy: If you use update-manager it will get the upgraded packages from the network [17:54] :) [17:54] HardDisk, the nv driver is effectively working the same as the vesa default driver, when i get into xubuntu, and type nvidia-settings (after nvidia-xconfig and restart) it gives an error saying it does not appear to be using the Nvidia X driver, and to run nvidia-xconfig again [17:54] toaterb0y you can install firestarter for a graphical front end [17:54] setuid: apt-cache show packagename [17:54] Drk_Guy, I would suggest (if it's feasable) to make one machine a local server (you'll need 30GB's) then do a network upgrade automated always. [17:54] I think I'v ***** up my fglrx setup. Been trying to get dual-head working correctly and now I cant seem to load fglrx at all. "modprobe fglrx [17:54] EvilDennisR: I prefer make'ing stuff [17:54] " Returns an error [17:54] pierre_: aticonfig? [17:54] ah, thanks [17:54] Drk_Guy: No. [17:54] Drk_Guy: The days of having to compile stuff by hands are gone [17:55] amy_, sudo nvidia-xconfig then restart x [17:55] nucco, is is graphic ? I try to configure a dual screen [17:55] My sound card was working before and was trying to get the mic working so i ran sox -c 2 -s -w -r 32000 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp -w -r 32000 /dev/dsp and now my sound card is no longer working. is there a way that i can revert back to the previous sound card settings? [17:55] Drk_Guy: Thats why we have a package system [17:55] TuniXl2: command not found [17:55] HardDisk, I have, two to three times. does the exact same things [17:55] EvilDennisR: I like the bleeding edge [17:55] amy_, hmm [17:55] pierre_: probably. the default screen resolution program doesn't work for you? [17:55] doesn't seem like ufw is available on my system [17:55] the only errors it gives are about the corekeyboard and coremouse, and it just says it'll use the first keyboard/mouse. [17:55] amy_, sudo depmod do that then try sudo nvidia-xconfig them restart x [17:55] toasterb0y: what version of ubuntu do you have? [17:55] nucco, no it doesn't allow me to configure the dual-screen (option are grey) [17:55] Drk_Guy: Great. Just select the unsupported and pre-released updates in the software sources then [17:56] Linux ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux === Everget3 is now known as Evergete [17:56] XD [17:56] EvilDennisR: Just tell me, do i need the "physical" cd, or, can i just mount the ISO? [17:56] Drk_Guy: Run update-manager. There should be a button on the top of the gui that sez upgrade [17:56] I knwo [17:56] amy_, personally I dislike troubleshooting 64bit ubuntu due to such issues :/ [17:56] pierre_: not sure if I can help you there. but I know there's an aticonfig program. search inside synaptic [17:56] Drk_Guy, you can do it via ISO [17:57] hi all , i wonder if i can shutdown a windows host via my ubuntu client [17:57] EvilDennisR, he doesn't want to do it via internet, please read. [17:57] nucco, I found the aticonfig program but it's a command line too and I'm a bit lost :/ [17:57] Drk_Guy: I'm not sure how the update works with a local cd. You c-o-u-l-d put in the cd, and have the software sources use that cd [17:57] who have any ideas plz [17:57] HardDisk: so just "mount -o loop ..." [17:57] there's an ati GUI tool too. just search inside synaptic. I cant remember it offhand [17:57] EvilDennisR: Thje docs said you can use the alternate Cd to upgrade [17:57] Drk_Guy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation go there and go down to iso installation [17:57] nucco, ok I'll look on synaptic [17:57] Drk_Guy: ok cool.. Then you should be able to go for it [17:58] nucco, thanks for your help [17:58] thanks [17:58] ive messed my top panel in gnome up, now the main menus have shifted to the right. how can i move it back into the corner? [17:58] toasterb0y: you have 7.10 version [17:58] Drk_Guy: If I recall when you pop in the cd it might ask you if you want to use that as a repository [17:58] pierre_: welcome. check the "recommends" for fglrx package [17:58] Ill mount it [17:58] is there a way to undo the changes made by sox command ? [17:58] TuniXl12: ok. how does that effect my situation [17:58] how to open opera.tar.gz file and install [17:59] HardDisk, hmm, going to hardware drivers in the systems menu, it shows no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [17:59] :) [17:59] i'll try removing and starting the drivers from scratch [17:59] toasterb0y: dunno if there is a package of ufw for 7.10 [17:59] amy_, that's because you installed the binary. [17:59] amy_, sure. [17:59] toasterb0y: tru sudo apt-get install ufw [17:59] is my version outdated? [17:59] toasterb0y: its still supported [18:00] ive messed my top panel in gnome up, now the main menus have shifted to the right. how can i move it back into the corner?

I only seem to be able to change the screensavers themselves, not edit their parameters [18:02] you can edit, what is editable [18:02] HardDisk, does it matter that no matching kernal was found, and that it's going to try and compile a kernel interface? [18:02] jsquared yeah, gnome-screensaver doesn't expose changing the screensaver parameters [18:02] hm, are you sure? under KDE I can edit a lot more things than I can edit in gnome =/ [18:02] nucco, I installed fglrx-control, but I don't find it [18:02] amy_, that's normal [18:03] nickrud: ah, bummer [18:03] how to open opera.tar.gz file and install [18:03] pratik3, install via apt-get [18:03] nickrud: is there a GUI that will let me do it?

I'm just curious about the headaches and advantages of eacdh [19:03] amy_: Their architectures [19:03] gparted and supergrub CD's own ;) [19:04] amy_: x86 is 32 bits, x64 is 64 Bits [19:04] I have a friend with a vista laptop and a hardy desktop. any good howto's to getting samba setup properly for file and print sharing? [19:04] the_eraser gparted livecd or ubuntulivecd yes [19:04] Drk_Guy, so x86 doesn't take advantage of dual-core systems? [19:04] amy_: I dont know, but the safest bet is to go x64 [19:04] amy_: x86_64 is for 64bit machines. i386/i686 is 32bit [19:04] dual cores will not be handled in 32bit [19:04] hi I am from Türkiye [19:04] it WILL work, but won't use both cores properly [19:05] it will use both cores [19:05] how much ram do you have, amy_? [19:05] hi iiizmir [19:05] amy_: If you have intel, choose IA64, for AMD, choose AMD64 [19:05] talntid, 2gb [19:05] Drk_Guy, how do i get IA64? [19:05] hi lim core [19:05] amy_ We try to suggest newer users with under 4 gigs stay with 32 bit. [19:05] isn't ia64 for the ititanic cpus? [19:05] yes, jbroome [19:05] hi I just put my application in /usr/share/apps, how do I make a symobilc so when I type my app everywhere it launches? [19:05] Jack_Sparrow, due to bugs, problems, etc with x64? [19:05] amd64 is for ALL 64bit processors [19:06] amy_: when you choose the downlaod, you have the option to go x64 or x86, if you go x64, you got to choose which one [19:06] amy_: Althought AMD can run IA64 [19:06] how can I add transparency to my Main Menu bar? [19:06] x64/amd64/em64t/x86_64 is have more registers (16 instead of four) and can use more than 4gb memory without slowdown, and x64 doesn't support segmented memory (ony paged), and a few archaic instructions have been dropped [19:06] I have a friend with a vista laptop and a hardy desktop. any good howto's to getting samba setup properly for file and print sharing? [19:06] well, i have an Intel Core 2 duo 3.0 ghz [19:06] are people using windows able to open a *.tar.gz-file? [19:06] pneo: Right click ->properties, background [19:06] wow. WINE is hefty [19:06] toasterb0y: u from norway? [19:07] amy_ Not really bugs.. but there is little speed difference... and there are some additional steps like chrooting to get everything working [19:07] gorg_: Yeah you can open tgz files with winzip under winblowz [19:07] !chroot [19:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [19:07] toasterb0y: Tell me, i compiled it from src [19:07] !samba | bartb [19:07] bartb: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[19:07] Drk_Guy: thanks mate! === mysterycool2 is now known as mysterycool [19:07] gorg_: Some archiving tools can open it, such as 7zip. I dont know if winzip or windows native zipping can open it [19:07] nickrud: i figured it out .. the setting in gconf-editor is "always_use_browser" that is the one that fixes it ... thanks :-D [19:07] Jack_Sparrow, ah, that is somewhat annoying. They won't make me bootstrap like old gentoo will they? [19:07] pneo: np [19:07] might i have questin, how is it in ubuntu with kernels, where can i get i386 smp kernel? [19:07] amy_ no idea on gentoo stuff [19:08] bartb, you can also check this out http://fullcirclemagazine.org/download-manager.php?id=41 has a nice howto page 11 [19:08] testsym: for that you will need a symlink to a location that's in your PATH (to check those --> echo $PATH) [19:08] amy_: Gentoo is complicated [19:08] gorg: not from Norway just live here [19:08] Jack_Sparrow, i was just joking a bit. I did a few gentoo systems before, but I find that no matter how you do it, it will invariably meet with instabilities over time that require a lot of babysitting. [19:09] :) [19:09] toasterb0y: ok, just felt "hefty" was a Norwegian word :) [19:09] thanks everyone [19:09] how do I tell ubuntu's clock that bios time is NOT UTC? [19:09] Drk_Guy, yeah, a bit. I've 2 ubuntu machines and a freebsd machine. [19:09] hey guys. I've been using ubuntu since about 6.06 but really starting using it hard around 7.10 . I really have performance issues with firefox. It seems sites with lots of flash or java script (like gmail) just murder my system. Is this common? Are there any alternatives? [19:09] amy_: lol [19:09] glitsj16: hmm if I create a link in /usr/local/bin (its in echo path? will it make my program to launch everywhere? if so how do I create the command? [19:09] Drk_Guy, I used to run Gentoo exclusively. [19:10] amy_: gentoo scares the ****out of me, no offense though [19:10] isn't firefox suppose to come with a new update today? [19:10] So I'm downloading firefox 3 onto my windows VM, but I think I'll hold off till it hits the ubuntu repositories to get it on Linux... Any idea when it will actually get put in the repos? [19:10] though, my motto since about 1995 regarding a red hat(e) installation, "We will never forget" [19:10] Is there a program on ubuntu which helps you find out what OS is a server that a website is on runs? [19:10] gorg_: You can download ff3 right now, it's just not available via a package in the repository yet [19:10] mysterycool: nmap [19:11] amy_: :S [19:11] NickGarvey: Isn't that just a port scanner? [19:11] :-$ [19:11] mysterycool: Netcraft.net ;P [19:11] mysterycool, THE port scanner ;) [19:11] afternoon [19:11] ASULutzy: in top right corner i had some update reminder, i wonder if FF3 was updated, i think it was automatically [19:11] do any of you know how to print to tiff instead of pdf? [19:11] mysterycool: netcraft.(org|com?) will do it, fwiw [19:11] mysterycool, there are flags that you can use with nmap that will OS fingerprint the machine [19:11] offload: Yes, indeed, I have been told that it is one of the best ones around, if not the best. [19:11] mysterycool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20934/ [19:12] testsym: yes it will, ln -s /path/to/real/file /path/to/non-existant/file [19:12] Drk_guy: flash player is not working [19:12] i installed those packages [19:12] hello! how do I understand CPU / OS type from gnome-nettool? It returns some numbers but I don't know what these correspond to [19:12] gorg_: There was no firefox update for me in the repositories today, I am installing FF3 to my Windows VM now, and the mozilla mirrors do have FF3 for linux available, but afaik there isn't a package available in the repo [19:12] Extrange. capri, you on x64? [19:12] x32 [19:12] Hi guys, got ubuntu 8.04 installed on my notebook and got a problem. I want to be able to switch between the internal LCD (1280x800) and my external one (VGA 1280x1024). Atm. it seems like clone mode is activated and both monitors fall back to the smallest res in common. I would rather select one monitor and use the full resolution. I already searched for ages...hope you can help me. (btw: ATI Xpress 200m graphics) [19:12] NickGarvey: I like this one: 80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.2.8 ((Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch) [19:12] (line 10 XD :p).

[19:13] toasterb0y not advised [19:13] capri: x86, huh? [19:13] yes :P [19:13] !sudo > toasterb0y [19:13] Is there any hope of Linux being able to recover a hard drive that my BIOS doesn't recognize? [19:13] capri: Real extrange, it should work out-of-the-box [19:13] i mean to say 32 bit operating system [19:13] i know [19:13] Ill think bout it, ive got to restart [19:13] gorg_: Just doing a quick search in the synaptic repositories shows that they only have RC1 available [19:13] good luck [19:13] the problem is i cannot see the youtube :P [19:14] rc1, what is that [19:14] Release Candidate 1 [19:14] am I the only one that is having Firefox performance issues. I'm running firefox 3 on 8.04. It really seems like javascript and and flash that are the problem... I also have the same performance issues with opera. [19:14] offload: are you using FF3 or swiftfox ? [19:14] offload: ya, I can't watch a flash video in full screen without performance penalty(lagging picture) [19:15] chadeldridge, FF3 [19:15] gorg_: So yea, Ubuntu is way behind firefox wise... Maybe I will just go ahead and download it via a mirror instead of waiting for the repos to get it [19:15] offload: I think my fx is 2.something, the one that comes with 8.04 [19:15] offload I have seen some people tweek xorg to get some speed back. but I dont know exactly what they have been doing [19:15] i guess it released then .. :-D [19:15] Drk_guy: any suggestion ? [19:15] offload: i had loads of trouble with java/flash in FF running 8.04... then someone told me i had conflicting player [19:15] sun vs. gnu [19:15] * delcoyote hi [19:15] all i know that in swiftfox using the FF3 rc there is no issue like that [19:15] Hi... is there a problem with the repos? This is the 10th or so attempt at installing i've made today and yet again a package has screwed up (seahorse) this time... [19:16] Jack_Sparrow, care to cheer for me :) [19:16] uninstal gnu and u might be free from trouble [19:16] So... once more, apt is broken [19:16] ok. my router only has Mac and PC utilities. not sure how to configure it with ubuntu/*nix [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: Do you have any idea when the FF3 release will get packaged into the ubuntu repositories? [19:16] chazco: have you tried pulling from another server ? [19:16] NickGarvey: Um, it does not return the server that the web is running on :s [19:16] chadeldridge, I think i tried swiftweazel (sp?) but I don't remember getting my performance back. I really love my ff extensions and have picked up here and there that it's really something to do with flash for linux more than anything. [19:16] chazco: you can post the errors you get to pastebin.ubuntu.com, and I will look at them, [19:16] ASULutzy no... [19:16] mysterycool: use -A [19:16] chadeldridge - Yep, i tried that [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: Be psychic! :P [19:16] server -m irc.darksin.net [19:16] mysterycool: what site? some sites block all that stuff [19:16] NickGarvey: so like: nmap -a whatever.com [19:16] gorg_, oh really? Hmmmm how do I check to see if I have the same issue? [19:16] mysterycool: capital A [19:16] I don't know for why? In my country, firefox 3 download day is postponed to 18th June. [19:17] oh, ok [19:17] Sec, please. [19:17] =] [19:17] ASULutzy based on demand.. they are working on it now [19:17] offload: swiftfox is FF3 ... all the addons work etc .. i would reconmend trying it out since its compiled for performance based on your processor type [19:17] dabaR - "dpkg: error processing seahorse (--configure): [19:17] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [19:17] " seems to be it for this one. Had all sorts of problems trying to install over the last three days (on multiple machines) [19:17] (or in my local time, 19th June) [19:17] irc://irc.darksin.eu/all-music [19:17] Jack_Sparrow: Yea, I think I will just hold off till it hits the repositories. It'll probably happen within the next day or so considering how popular ff3 is [19:17] ubuntu_: no spam please. [19:17] ok. my router only has Mac and PC utilities. not sure how to configure it with ubuntu/*nix [19:17] ff3 repository? [19:17] server -m irc.darksin.eu/all-music [19:18] offload: have you tried the flash player 10 beta yet ? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ .. did the trick for me, hope it cures some of your problems [19:18] jpds: what's the % for [19:18] toasterb0y: mute ban [19:18] chazco: something is broken. Try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [19:18] window: ff3 is out today, but it's not in ubuntu repositories yet. You can get it off any of the mozilla mirrors [19:18] toasterb0y: most routers have a web interface [19:18] mute? [19:18] chadeldridge, you rock dude. Thanks I will try it now. Also this machine isn't all that fast.. it's like a p4 3.0ghz with an nvidia 5900 ultra and 1GB ram [19:18] offload: i'm not an expert. there are several other here which might be able to help u [19:18] NickGarvey: Um, it won't work. :S [19:18] toasterb0y: he can't talk now [19:18] dabaR - Its been like this on multiple machines with fresh installs over the past few days [19:18] I am also running lots of compiz effects [19:19] NickGarvey: http://pastebin.com/d400f5d33 [19:19] yeah. i cant connect to the web interface [19:19] but thing u can check is doing this: in firefox addres bar write "about:plugins" [19:19] Please download Firefox 3 by 17:00 UTC on June 18, 2008. << My spread firefox site said this...

[19:23] I didn't actually look at the link [19:23] http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US is the linux link [19:23] !latest | Luckrider [19:23] Luckrider: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [19:23] window, just wait till it's my turn :) [19:23] firefox Official d/l links (en-US) - Win: http://tinyurl.com/6s83q5 Mac: http://tinyurl.com/6anmfx Linux: http://tinyurl.com/4cn37r [19:23] dabaR - Each time ive tried a fresh install or update something like that has happened.... i have no idea whats wrong. Its either the repos have gone dodgy or something is corrupting stuff en-route to here... [19:24] chazco: Can you pate the whole output from apt-get [19:24] http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ [19:24] glitsj16: typed this: "sudo ln -s /usr/share/apps/SABnzbd-0.4.0RC2/ /usr/local/bin/ " <-- when im in my home directory I tried to type SAB (tabb for full name) and nothng happens, like it cant find the full name? [19:24] yeah, after searching around it seems like the version numbers aren't jiving [19:24] http://air.mozilla.com/ [19:24] what is the right and best way to backup the full Ubuntu system? [19:24] Mine has been downloading, but everything seems totally wrong [19:24] my keyboard types every letter when i keep it pressed for 3 secs. and it types the letter tww times. this change occured when i was using a wine application. 'mirc' . it may be a coinsidence but anyways. how can i resolve it. i cant type anything? [19:24] Does ubuntu use firefox or iceweasle? [19:24] ch0wda: did you sudo aptitude update? [19:24] Ubuntu uses Firefox [19:24] that is true ompaul, but the link I had was for the FF3 download for the record, but it is for linux [19:25] chazco: Did you run that "sudo dpkg --configure -a"? [19:25] EvilDennisR - Thats really the only thing out of the ordinary... cant use the web currently [19:25] SebNaitsabes; ok, so... how did get around mozilla's restrictions on the logo? [19:25] nabcore: firefox [19:25] what do you mean? [19:25] *did it get [19:25] dabaR - About 30000000 times in the last few days... its some other issue [19:25] and Ubuntu's FIerfox will use the Mozilla logo [19:25] chazco: I need to see the whole thing to diagnose the problem [19:25] chazco: and you get that error again, right? [19:25] in fact I think now in Hardy they even use an offical Mozilla release [19:25] testsym: ah ok, first thing , i notice you don't point both paths to a specific command, it needs that for it to work .. as to the tab part, i really have no idea sorry [19:26] dabaR - I did earlier... this is yet another fresh install [19:26] chazco: why not try now? [19:26] EvilDennisR - Will have to wait till firefox will open, that seems dead too [19:26] nabcore: Ubuntu has a different definition of what free software is than Debian does I guess [19:26] dabaR - It didnt work [19:26] chazco: same error, right? [19:26] Yep [19:26] dabaR: i had already updated, but had to do it a second time. it worked this time. thanks [19:26] I'm giving up on Ubuntu for now... three days trying to run a simple update is stupidly bad [19:26] chazco: use lynx or w3m [19:26] chazco: and when you run sudo apt-get purge seahorse? [19:27] chazco: and when you run sudo apt-get remove --purge seahorse? [19:27] Everything to do with apt and dpkg seems to give the same errors... ive just had enough now [19:27] SebNaitsables; http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622 [19:27] nabcore: Debian went with iceweasel because firefox's icon is trademarked, which makes sense for mozilla to do that. The browser is still completely free, in the way that most people think of free, and so Ubuntu uses it. I guess you could say Debian was "too pure" or maybe just stubborn, it's all opinion I guess [19:27] nabcore: Error: Could not parse data returned by Debian bugtracker: list index out of range (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622;mbox=yes) [19:27] nabcore: yep semes FIrefox in Ubuntu Hardy Heron is an officla Mozilla release rather than an Ubuntu version [19:27] chazco: sorry to hear that. Good luck. [19:27] testsym: example: ln -s /usr/share/apps/new-program /usr/bin/new-program [19:27] hi all, I've followed the instructions on the following page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 and everything seems to have worked, except that my wireless card isn't showing in iwconfig - I'm on Hardy Heron [19:27] A fresh install doesnt even fix the issues... something is broke and its not these computers... its got to be the repos or the link between them and me [19:27] !wifi [19:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:27] !ndiswrapper [19:27] SebNaitsables; so, does ubuntu have to check every patch it makes to firefox with mozilla.org? [19:28] chazco: Dude, use w3m, go to pastebin and paste the errors from apt-get [19:28] if i wanted to install the new FF3.0 final as my default browser in hardy, am i going to be replacing /usr/bin, and so on? or should I just extract it to my home and change my shortcuts? [19:28] SebNaitsabes: thanks :) [19:28] nabcore: Ubuntu used to use Ubuntu versions of Firefox which were very similar to the offical release [19:28] EvilDennisR - That is the entire error... the rest is the usual 1 not fully installed type message, and the final dpkg returned an error message (which is the one i pasted). Thats it [19:28] hmm... The link for FF3 points to 2.0.0.14 [19:28] plinde: I would expect it'd be available in the repositories very soon [19:28] nabcore: and now it seems they use Mozilla bilds. Hardy Heron came with Firefox Beta 5, but if you turn on proposed updates in the package manager, you can get a later version that way [19:28] plinde: I'm just going to wait till I can apt-get it, though I did download and install it on Windows VM [19:29] i am using ffrc1, can i update to ff3 derectly? [19:29] Will there be an updated Hardy disc at some point with all the updates preinstalled? [19:29] ASULutzy: I assumed this would be the case. can't be soon enough :-). I did actually put it on my windows box already. just want to do it the proper way [19:29] chazco: probably not [19:29] SebNaitsabes: having said that, I've followed all that information, I've got ndiswrapper working (It recognizes my device and says the hardware is present) but it still doesn't work, and I'm not sure how to debug it further [19:29] !tv [19:29] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [19:29] Pity... that was my only other option. Thanks SebNaitsabes [19:29] chazco: or [19:29] SebNaitsabes; ok, but reading that bug thread, mconner from mozilla states that any patches applied to firefox, need to be vetted by mozilla: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622#231 [19:30] nabcore: Error: Could not parse data returned by Debian bugtracker: list index out of range (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622;mbox=yes) [19:30] chazco: which Firefox do you want to run? [19:30] SebNaitsabes - Firefox isnt the issue, its all the updates... i cannot perform updates after a fresh install on any machine... i dont know why [19:30] no flash 10 for x86_64? :( [19:30] chazco: well you could run the latest Windows version of Firefox, but that's a bit stupid [19:30] Anyone have any experience using Intel FakeRAID with ubuntu, I realize this is not the optimal way to go, but still interested nonetheless [19:30] chazco: What repositories are you using [19:30] erm guys [19:30] Standard UK ones... tried USA as well [19:30] Is there any hope of Linux being able to recover a hard drive that my BIOS doesn't recognize? [19:31] update manager is telling me firefox has updates. it wont count in the record right? [19:31] chazco: ya, it looks like there are CDs that will come out every once in a while with cumulative updates, but updates will always happen. What happened to your install is that some package did not get installed properly and is blocking up apt. I have fixed this on my computer before, and would be glad to help you, if you will follow some instructions and use the pastebin... [19:31] will it update to the stable release? [19:31] do ubuntu's downloads of firefox 3 count towards the record? [19:31] chazco: make sure proposed updates is on in the package maanger [19:31] Reformer81: I want to say no [19:31] dabaR - It happened to about 20 attempts at installs, on multiple machines... with _different_ packages. [19:31] BoltClock: the record lol a bit obbesisvie really [19:31] installs = installing Ubuntu + updates... thats it [19:31] Reformer81: If your BIOS doesn't recognize a drive, I don't know how an OS would be able to [19:31] chazco: doubtfull, but there's aptoncd (http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/) with which you can create a backup of all your installed packages .. or UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit) at http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [19:31] chazco: we still need you to pastebin the apt errors [19:31] SebNaitsabes: lol [19:32] chazco: and we need to know what repositories you are using [19:32] glitsj16 - Thanks, but no luck without them installing first [19:32] BoltClock: if you care so much about it you could just download a version of Firefox and not install it, then get the one you use from the Ubuntu repo [19:32] SebNaitsabes k [19:32] ASULutzy: Yeah, I figured as much.... had a power surge that destroyed the hard drive holding all my family's pictures. [19:32] chazco: you can download packages without installing them .. [19:32] EvilDennisR - Just the ones enabled by default [19:32] chazco: ...and those are? [19:32] Reformer81: Weird that the BIOS don't even detect it [19:32] Hit my download cap anyway, so cant try to fix again until the end of the month [19:32] BoltClock: make sure proposed updates is on in the package maanger. altough Firefox 3.0 final should be on the normal thing anyway soon [19:33] ASULutzy: All I can think of is that it damaged the connector board or something like that. [19:33] SebNaitsabes; what I'm getting at here is the LTSness of ubuntu may actually be a illegal under what mconner states. If 4.5 years down the line 8.04 needs a firefox patch for a bug and mozilla don't support FF3 any more at that point, then ubuntu are not going to be able to apply the patch legally. [19:33] hi [19:33] !hi | harfg0 [19:33] harfg0: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:33] Hardy Really pwns [19:33] ASULutzy: Of course, that was on my old computer... maybe my new one might see it? Worth a shot, I suppose. [19:33] Hey everyone. What's the best way to get PHP 5.2.6 installed on my HH VPS? Source? [19:33] i have just run the tasksel program and disabled printer spooler [19:33] SebNaitsabes nah never mind. i can wait [19:33] Thanks for the help anyway... will use the windows partition for now. Its either the internet link of the repos (the gb.archive.ubuntu.co) ones... [19:33] now its removeing 9453245234534 5packages? [19:33] but, i dont knwo why, CCSM stopped working [19:33] nabcore: software gets old. and unsppourted the way it is [19:33] * paranoid_ scratches his head [19:33] Reformer81: I mean there are always data recovery specialists, but afaik, if a BIOS doesn't see a hard drive, there's no way the OS will. Yea, I'd try to exhaust all possibilities first and then if need be go with a data recovery specialist [19:33] is that standard behavior!!!! [19:33] chazco: change the repository to archive.ubuntu.com [19:34] And FF was removed [19:34] SebNaitsabes; that's not really an answer. [19:34] chazco: go to the repository manager and select main server [19:34] nabcore: and Ubuntu can update their own version of Firefox sure, and even Mozila's with the source code [19:34] EvilDennisR - I already tried using the one under "Main Server" [19:34] Anyone got any ideas why ndiswrapper is reporting everything as fine yet the device isn't showing up in iw/ifconfig ? [19:34] Reformer81: I would try to plug it in to a different machine. If you can get the BIOS to recognize it, there's certainly ways to recover at that point [19:34] EvilDennisR - I already tried using the one under "Main Server" [19:34] nabcore: yes an old version of Firefox can be updated in 20 years time, why since it's open source [19:34] I figured out my problem with SSH and port forwarding... Linksys or my DSL modem (one of the two) does not support NAT from inside! [19:34] SebNaitsabes: no they cannot; read the thread [19:34] ASULutzy: The only data recovery I could find around here charges $70/hour whether they can recover the data or not. [19:34] chazco: and after you selected the main server did you do apt-get update ? [19:34] dang that FF3 should be downloading now... [19:34] Reformer81: that's pretty cheap [19:34] nabcore: why wouldn't they be able to update the Ubuntu package of Firefox? [19:34] lol [19:34] Reformer81: Yea, it's not cheap, that's actually less than I expected it to be [19:34] gotta go to sleep soon [19:35] nabcore: also most people would just upgrade to the next one, or stay with a LTS untill the next. and so really old versions of Ubuntu get obsolute with old Firefox's [19:35] jbroome: Not when you're nickle and diming just to eat every day :) [19:35] EvilDennisR - Yep... i also tried it with one of the fresh installs, its not working. Same sort of issues with packages [19:35] are you F'ing shitting me? The link on mozilla.com for FF3 points to FF2 [19:35] Reformer81: sorry I'm no electrical engineering expert, more a computer science guy ;) [19:35] XD [19:35] glitsj16: I did this: "sudo ln -s /usr/share/apps/SABnzbd-0.4.0RC2/ /usr/local/bin/SABnzbd-0.4.0RC2" <-- but its still not okay [19:35] ASULutzy: Just doesn't seem right to spend so much with the high chance of not getting anything for it. [19:35] EvilDennisR: afair it's not actually released yet? [19:35] gordonjcp; because it's shipped under the name firefox and uses mozilla's graphics. [19:35] EvilDennisR: Watch your language please. [19:35] nabcore: and Firefox 3.0 will probably be still being suppourted just about by the time the next Ubuntu LTS is released. I said just about suppourted since I am assuming by then a Firefox 4.0 may be out [19:35] nabcore: ... hence iceweasel [19:36] EvilDennisR: !language, also, you can get it from the mirrors no problem. I've already installed FF3 to my Windows VM today, but I'm waiting to install it on Ubuntu till it's actually in the Hardy repositories [19:36] EvilDennisR: Also, please join #firefox or #ubuntu-offtopic for firefox anticipation chat [19:36] nabcore: so, why would that make it somehow magically illegal to ship patches? [19:36] paranoid_: They got the FF3 stuff on there [19:36] EvilDennisR - I can only assume its my internet link... i'm sure if the repos were screwed other people would report it. I know its not the CD or the hardware... [19:36] !offtopic [19:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:36] chazco: apt-get clean [19:36] EvilDennisR: ah ok [19:36] EvilDennisR - It doesnt work [19:36] chazco: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [19:36] gordonjcp; yes [19:36] ok I'm back [19:36] chazco: dpkg --reconfigure --pending [19:36] EvilDennisR: Do you want a link to the Linux download for FF3? [19:36] testsym: you point your links to directories that way, not to actual programs .. add your appliocation name to both and it will work [19:36] ASULutzy: well i do [19:36] nabcore: and you could just install iceweasel or whtever anyway if you want [19:36] ASULutzy: sure.. [19:36] hi i downloaded firefox 3 but its just a folder how do i install it [19:37] gordonjcp: I'm confused as to why ubuntu has not followed the debian route here with respect to iceweasle [19:37] All apt-get commands seem to end up with the same issues, currently its some seahorse thing, but ive had it one loads of packages each time ive reinstalled ubuntu (25 or so times so far these few days) [19:37] !install [19:37] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[19:39] nabcore: yes - it's typical Debian shrill whining about a non-issue [19:39] sammk: and if it's still wtih Beta 5 turn on proposed updates in package manager for a later version [19:39] FF3 IS ON THE SERVERS [19:39] http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US [19:39] ASULutzy: the link i gave you works just file [19:39] st33med: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:40] linkmaster03: what does "eject /dev/cdrom" do? [19:40] nabcore: Debian apparently thinks free means no one can hold rights to anything at all not even a picture of a fox. [19:40] nabcore: it is if there's no legal inability [19:41] gordonjcp: it returns nothing [19:41] Is there an easy way to put apt-get's output into a custom log file? [19:41] linkmaster03: weird [19:41] linkmaster03: can you mount and then unmount the drive? [19:41] CatCheeto: apt-get stuff >> logfile [19:41] lol [19:41] chazco: Any useful output in /var/log/dpkg.log ? [19:41] window, and its installed?

Do you feel as though firefox is not free? I certainly don't? I can download it for free, distribute it for free, and modify the source code as I see fit. Mozilla has trademarked the picture of their firefox, that's fine by me, who cares? If you're a free software nazi that might drive you crazy, and in that case you should use ice-weasel [19:43] window, check your home directory [19:43] linkmaster03: hm, and eject /dev/cdrom just returns silently?

[19:45] anyone know any Jabber client which has video support? [19:45] hey i have network samba shares and writable is enabled....on the computer im accessing the shared files....why cant i change the folder name or file name?

But on existing systems I just use the IP and folder path (served from Apache) and it's fine. But on New installs started from the mini-boot CD, it complains. [21:21] hi there, i have a Linksys router that can accommodate up to 3 other machines plus mine. is there a way for ubuntu to see the router or do i need to install the firestarter? [21:21] hello there. I can send files but cant receive dcc file transfers on Xchat2 nor on chatzilla. Yet I can get them on pidgin with no problem. I'm using UbuntuStudio 8.04. Any hints? [21:21] i have a funky network problem that i need some ideas for [21:21] *raise's Hand* [21:22] hi, i've had problems lately with the mozilla-mplayer plugin at apple trailers. for most of the trailers, instead of the movie playing, theres a message i get saying "get the latest quicktime". does anyone know how to solve this? [21:22] any networking people with a few minutes? === sven_ is now known as elctrfckRR [21:22] jlarson, whats up? [21:22] BobPenguin xchat uses different ports for file sending than pidgin I guess [21:22] wiz_works: Oh.. ok.. My thought is that you don't have apache setup correctly, so when you point to 10.0.0.30/ubuntu/ its looking in a different location, and the directory doesn't actually exist in that location [21:23] Hmm.. Hello all... I have a problem with LCDproc... can anyone maybe help? [21:23] does anybody now how i get my del key working?? [21:23] wiz_works: You have your repository setup in /srv/archive.ubuntu.com/ right ? [21:23] EvilDennisR: when I browse to that location, I can see the repo... (in a web browser.. ) it's there. [21:23] thanks abchirk, gonna try to config that [21:23] wiz_works: (Or something like that, I specified a different location) [21:23] EvilDennisR: .local/share/Trash they moved it [21:23] appeltje, Do you have some crazy keyboard? [21:23] vbabiy: there you go [21:23] EvilDennisR: Thanks for you help [21:24] BobPenguin you can set them manually in preferences under xchat BobPenguin maybe you use those from pidging when they are open. :) [21:24] Gun_Smoke i think but it won't work i tried in the dutch chat but no one can help me [21:24] BACK [21:24] N1N31NCHN41L5: ?? [21:24] hey guys - I am miffed with gedit - it half heartedly detects the files I am working on [21:24] Thanks abchirk. Gonna try to set them up now... [21:24] * ikonia returns [21:25] BCM43 - isnt this the room i was in???? [21:25] hello [21:25] jgoo: please be more spcific [21:25] Look in System>Pref.>Keyboard for yours. [21:25] Hello, I am trying to burn a iso file on Ubuntu, I forgot what program I need to do that can some one please help me? Thanks [21:25] wiz_works: Maybe move the *.gpg in /etc/apt/ somewhere. It might be trying to use those certificates, which obviously don't work on your server [21:25] sod mime type and magic sniffing and whatever the heck it does - can gedit just check the extension on my file and chose THAT highlighting mode? [21:25] appeltje, ^^ [21:25] does anyone have problems viewing trailers on apple trailers? a message saying "Get the Latest Quicktime"? [21:25] N1N31NCHN41L5: um, not sure, but i was not sure what you meant by back [21:25] I have downloaded the latest FF3 version, how do I replace my current FF2 with the new one?????

[21:25] Hi, how can I count the number of regualr files in a directory? [21:25] Tux2K8: are you on hardy? [21:25] edgy: ls|wc [21:25] nickrud: had me reboot - i cant upgrade at all [21:26] no gusty [21:26] BCM43, I have .gsp and .groovy setup - gedit **ALWAYS** find .groovy, but never finds .gsp, I have to select it. I've setup the mime types... I just want .gsp files to use .gsp highlighting... :-/ [21:26] nickrud: - rebooted [21:26] thank you [21:26] How do i use Snort to set an alert to tell me when someone connects to my LAN? [21:26] N1N31NCHN41L5 the issue is sudo, upgrades will follow. [21:26] edgy: you can specify some ls -- options to not list directories [21:26] edgy: man ls for that [21:26] EvilDennisR: this would count the number of regular files and directories, I just want regular files [21:26] Tux2K8: you could upgrade to hardy, or install firefox 3 then unistall firefox 2 [21:26] Gun_smoke it is standing on te right keyboard [21:26] configure: error: Terminfo/termcap not found - install ncurses-devel package [21:26] ??? How do I install this?

[21:26] N1N31NCHN41L5 so when you sudo ls , you still get no request for a password? [21:27] edgy: argh, you're not going to make me man ls are you ? [21:27] appeltje, Any chance they keyboard is just...... dead? [21:27] EvilDennisR: on already installed ubuntu machines... I call the repo by the IP address 10.0.0.30/ubuntu and it works fine and can install packages from there. But when trying to install a NEW system using the mini boot CD, and using the same path in the "specify manually" option, it complains about the Release and Release.gpg files. (which are present) If I go to a virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+F2) and tail /var/log/syslog, I can see [21:27] appeltje, Have you tried it on another system? [21:27] !info ncurses-devel [21:27] Package ncurses-devel does not exist in hardy [21:27] when I run apt-get upgrade there are four packages being held back, all related to linux-generic. why are these being held back?

[21:27] hello, a week or 2 ago i was asking questions about ubuntu [21:27] i wanted to try it out so i got the live cd [21:28] RCP: it is not a package, what are ou trying to insall [21:28] wiz_works: Maybe move the *.gpg in /etc/apt/ somewhere. It might be trying to use those certificates, which obviously don't work on your server [21:28] shazzam: ok, are you haveing trouble? [21:28] but i couldnt install all the coolstuff becuz the hardwares and graphic cards wont install [21:28] BCM43, irssi-0.8.12 [21:28] Gun_Smoke i reinstalled ubuntu, for the first time i installed ubuntu it didn't work and someone in the dutch chat helped me but now i have to reasign mij del key to the corect action [21:28] when I run apt-get upgrade there are four packages being held back, all related to linux-generic. why are these being held back?

[21:28] i wanted to use compz [21:28] s/install/installing [21:28] N1N31NCHN41L5 that's good! [21:28] nickrud: not for me [21:28] !firefox [21:28] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

Use your password. [21:29] i want to install it but my laptop is pretty slow and i dont want to mess it up [21:29] Devil_Angel: The beta one/ [21:29] ? [21:29] RCP: the package is just irssi [21:29] nickrud, will install it thru the repos add to the world record? [21:29] Shadow420: you mean you want to remove them from the grub bootscreen? [21:29] appeltje, Go to where I suggested and look in the "layout options" once there.. [21:29] s/install/installing* [21:29] so i want to know if its possible to installon my 500 GB hard drive [21:29] DShepherd doubt it [21:29] nickrud, figured. thanks [21:30] with hardware and everything [21:30] its an external [21:30] still a no-go i get this ======= josh@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update [21:30] josh@ubuntu:~$ [21:30] mysterycool: no, final came out today [21:30] EvilDennisR: no but are you sure there is an option to display files only or just guessing? [21:30] Devil_Angel: :o [21:30] rly? [21:30] can someone put in the topic that installing firefox thru repos wont add to the world record? [21:30] hey, any third party sources i should enable? [21:30] it just moves to the next line and stops there [21:30] N1N31NCHN41L5 very strange. do cd /etc , then do sudo ls , do you get output? [21:31] Devil_Angel: What date are you on, cause we might have a different timezone [21:31] N1N31NCHN41L5, Are you in the sudoers file? [21:31] nickrud: no [21:31] June 17th... [21:31] Gun_Smoke yes, he is [21:31] abchirk: there is no port options on the preferences->dcc file transfer dialog. No "advanced options" checkbox either. On the config file I get this values: dcc_port_first = 0, dcc_port_last = 0 [21:31] sudoers file???? [21:31] tillux1, fixed and I have 2.4.2 from that repository. thank you. [21:31] I've changed my partition table a bit. How do I get grub to automatically recognise the right partition (or is there a way to do it that will avoid it getting overwritten when update-grub is next run [21:31] Gun_Smoke he gets queried for his password, but no app called with sudo appears to execute [21:31] Gun_Smoke i tryed last week every keyboard but nothing works [21:31] how on earth do you burn dvd9 (movies) in ubuntU [21:31] edgy: /bin/ls -F |grep -v /|wc [21:32] BobPenguin on my client Settings -> Pref -> Network -> Fle transfers [21:32] ls gives me a list - sudo ls nada [21:32] EvilDennisR: there is VERY LITTLE documentation on how to correct issues with the Release and Release.gpg files for people trying to do a full install over the LAN in this manner... many people have tried this and they also report the same issues... and after lots of googling, there is yet still no answer to this problem. The ubuntu Devs need to have a look at this because being able to install over a LAN from a local repo is far m [21:32] edgy: We're specifying /bin/ls so that there are no colours in the list provided by ls [21:32] ubgoha: converted from a format to DVD? [21:32] appeltje, Don't pick a new keyboard, look at the layout options and decide what you would like the delete key to do.. Look again, give it a second.. It's there. [21:32] wiz_works: You could always do a pxe boot and do a FAI [21:33] I want to remove the old kernels from my ubuntu install how do I do that? [21:33] Devil_Angel: no a straight rip on my external hdd, a dual layer rip (dvd9) video ts etc. [21:33] EvilDennisR: these systems are not PXE capable. [21:33] Devil_Angel: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ -> um, it's still 2 :s [21:33] nickrud, That is pretty strange.. I haven't seen this one before. [21:33] EvilDennisR: plus PXE won't work in my network environment. [21:33] wiz_works: awww damn... Did you move those gpg files? [21:33] I need to set a layer break [21:33] Is a joke or? -BobPenguin- VERSION xchat 0.18 [21:33] nickrud I want to remove the old kernels from my ubuntu install how do I do that? [21:33] mysterycool: yeah, it's bogged down right now... there have been 1.7million downloads thus far since 1pm [21:33] can anyone report a bug on launchpad? it keeps timing out right now [21:33] Gun_Smoke i can only reasign the numeric del key not the one of my laptop without numeric [21:33] Gun_Smoke I did once, just can't remember what I did (or if I did anything, it was a very long time ago) Could also be misremembering the symptoms [21:34] Shadow420 with synaptic, remove them there. [21:34] is there a way to convert a folder full of pictures to black and white without opening each one and doing it by hand? [21:34] EvilDennisR: I never moved the files... the contents of the local mirror are exactly in the same hierarchy as they appear in the original Ubuntu US mirror. [21:34] o_O [21:34] nickrud thanks [21:34] wiz_works: no no, try moving those files on the machine you're intalling [21:34] N1N31NCHN41L5 what does ls -l /etc/sudoers say ? [21:34] Shadow420 keep the 2 latest, just for fun [21:35] !sound [21:35] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:35] nickrud: -r--r----- 1 root root 420 2008-05-09 19:25 /etc/sudoers [21:35] EvilDennisR: what do you mean moving the files? it's booted from a miniboot CD (from the miniboot ISO image) there are no files yet installed to the target drive - it is blank. [21:35] nickrud thanks [21:35] how to register here [21:35] N1N31NCHN41L5 hm, not that then [21:35] wiz_works: hmm.. thats an issue then.. [21:35] What command can I run to make sure my cam is being recognized by linux? [21:36] it has me totally boggled [21:36] wow [21:36] wiz_works: uh.. take that miniboot cd, mount it, remove those gpg files, and create a new iso ? [21:36] theres no way of burning a dvd9 in linux? [21:36] can anybody tell me how to register to this IRC [21:36] wiz_works: I'm running out of ideas =) [21:36] EvilDennisR: yet with a miniboot CD I am able to point to any Ubuntu originating mirror and install just fine... it's the damn gpg signature that's screwing this up. [21:36] abchirk: no joke, thats the version I got from the repositories. I guess that explains a lot. Gonna get an update right now. Whats the current xchat version? [21:36] ubgoha - dvd 9to5 will do it all for u - its in the repositories [21:36] my psp cannot work on usb 2.0 mode. [21:36] BobPenguin thats what I got with Hardy -abchirk- VERSION xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu [21:37] how could I solve this problem. [21:37] wiz_works: I dunno if you can copy the gpg files from the server and put them on your own.. [21:37] N1N31NCHN41L5: I do NOT want to transcode my source [21:37] Gun_Smoke [21:37] ?? [21:37] N1N31NCHN41L5 I've been looking over the bug reports, so far nothing similar [21:37] N1N31NCHN41L5: Im talking about a simple set a layer break and finally burn [21:37] how do i mount my cdrom drive in xubuntu? [21:37] amy_: it should automagically mount it for you [21:37] How can i connect ot internet with D-Link DSL 200 USB? HELP [21:38] EvilDennisR, what's the defalut mount point? [21:38] EvilDennisR: they are already on my own server... and in the same EXACT hierarchy... and I compared their contents with that of an official mirror: exactly the same. [21:38] ubgoha: its what i use if i want to take any dvd lager than 4.2gb and put on a single dvd [21:38] amy_: check the removable media settings, and make sure its mounting it automagically [21:38] amy_: /media/cdrom0 or something like that [21:38] it is, well, it just showed up in amarok [21:38] appeltje, I'm reading. [21:38] nickrud: i havent found anything like it elsewhere - why im in here trying [21:38] N1N31NCHN41L5: cool but thats not what im after here [21:38] ?? [21:38] wiz_works: hmm... Pastebin me some of the output from apt-get then when its screwing up [21:39] its weird to be honest [21:39] ubgoha: sorry then i missunderstood ur intent [21:39] EvilDennisR: there's obviously something about mirror setups that the ubuntu people aren;'t sharing. [21:39] abchirk: thanks, working on the update now, got to disconnect I guess. Thanks a lot! [21:39] np [21:39] appeltje, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html#s14 [21:39] N1N31NCHN41L5: its very simple Im trying to find a way of burning a DVD9 in linux, no transcoding, just burning a dvd9 straight to a media [21:39] wiz_works: Maybe? I kinda doubt that though.. I have a local mirror here as well and it works [21:39] wiz_works: show me some of that output and I'll check it otu [21:39] #kubuntu-kde4 [21:39] N1N31NCHN41L5: thanks for trying though :) [21:39] what mean MTA [21:39] :D [21:40] N1N31NCHN41L5 log in at clt-at-f1 , try sudo there (sort of a shot in dark) [21:40] is there a command (terminal) to show the size of a directory????? (with all its contents) [21:40] EvilDennisR: no way to paste from it... it;'s not an installed system.... at this point it only operates from the miniboot CD FS running in ram and no way to extract the syslog tail output to my other machine. [21:40] N1N31NCHN41L5 just in case, clt-alt-f7,f8, or f9 to get back to gui [21:41] wiz_works: Got ssh on there? [21:41] zelrikriando mail transport agent (like postfix or exim or sendmail) [21:41] so... can anyone help me... I want to put ubuntu on my external hard drive cuz the live cd doesnt let u use any hardware needed stuff like compiz. so i want to install it fully, i just dont want it on my computer till i know for sure i like it [21:41] Do anyone have experience connect psp to ubuntu? === sven_ is now known as elctrfckR [21:41] EvilDennisR: no... as it's only running on the miniboot CD (10MB CD ISO) [21:41] any terminal command to show the size of a directory with all its contents??? [21:41] shazzam, Just do it like any other install.. Just pick the xhdd as the target. [21:42] wiz_works: do you have a web browser like w3m or lynx on there? [21:42] Tux2K8: try du -csh [21:42] shazzam: That shouldn't be that hard to do, just tell the install cd to install it to the external drive? Alternatively you could use wubi [21:42] EvilDennisR: it's only function is to bring the system's NIC up and point it to a repo to do an internet install... no packages installed. [21:42] nickrud, is it normal if it takes a lot of time to load at startup? [21:42] wiz_works: Damn.. Does it have /anything/ useful installed on it ?? [21:42] will installing it on my hard drive allow me to use compiz and install hard ware and stuff? [21:42] shazzam, Is the ex-hdd empty? [21:42] TuniX12 : worked , great! thanks man [21:42] cat /proc/partitions [21:43] cuz live cd u cant. some hardware needs to reboot... [21:43] shazzam: Of course? [21:43] hello please remind me the name of plugin: when i move my mouse on the edge all windows froats on screen an i can select one of them [21:43] EvilDennisR: no packages installed... just the bare components to bring the system up and go thru the installation menus. [21:43] shazzam: where else would you install it to other than a hard drive? [21:43] zelrikriando define lot of time. If it's trying to check stuff on the net, it might be timing out. mta messages usually appear in /var/log/mail* [21:43] gotta go fill out job app and interview with tests - back soon [21:43] can anyone help? [21:43] shazzam, hardware, no. Software, yes. [21:43] wiz_works: shittles [21:43] Hey there.I need to test my DCC file transfer. Could someone send me a file? [21:43] i used the live cd and i wanted to use compiz which didnt work becuz my graphics wasnt installing [21:43] Gun_Smoke: What are you talking about? [21:43] EvilDennisR: do you have a machine you can throw the miniboot CD into? [21:44] greya that's scale I think [21:44] so i now want to install it on an external hard drive [21:44] shazzam: Yes, you will need to actually install Ubuntu to use compiz. Either install it to the external hard drive or use wubi to install it [21:44] wiz_works: negative [21:44] external will mean slow [21:44] ASULutzy, ? [21:44] and I can give you the server address? (publicly reachable) and you can go to the 2nd term and see for yourself? [21:44] EvilDennisR: [21:44] Gun_Smoke: Why did you say his hardware wouldn't work if he installed it? [21:44] EvilDennisR: ok [21:44] I want to make my boot telling me what is being loaded how can I do that [21:45] wiz_works: actually, yeah I got one [21:45] nickrud: yeah it is! [21:45] wiz_works: point me in the direction of the iso [21:45] wats wubi? and if i install on a external then i have to install hardware on any comp i try to play it on [21:45] ASULutzy, How do you install hardware to an external hdd? [21:45] EvilDennisR: ok burn yourself a copy of the 10MB miniboot ISO and fire it up on that. [21:45] wiz_works: wheres the iso [21:45] EvilDennisR: k, lemme get you the DL link... [21:46] Gun_Smoke: He meant if he installs Ubuntu to an external hard drive, will he be able to use compiz then (ie will he be able to update his drivers, which the answer is yes) [21:46] so its yes? [21:46] software.. [21:46] !minimal [21:46] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:46] yes is the final answer [21:46] shazzam: Wubi lets you install ubuntu inside a file on Windows. [21:46] wait wat about hardware? [21:46] shazzam, Yes, you can install ubuntu to your external HDD and play from there. [21:46] Gun_Smoke: I get what you're saying, but you're just going to confuse him [21:46] shazzam Read the faq before you use wubi [21:46] Gun_Smoke: lol === adam is now known as Guest11622 [21:47] greya thanks, I never did set up the mouse for that. Nice [21:47] nearly done downloading ubuntu 8.04 ,can i install compiz etc on there? [21:47] ??? :( [21:47] Jack_Sparrow: Yea, I know suggesting Wubi isn't exactly great, but he specifically said he wants to try it out before he does a real install [21:47] shazzam I wont use it or recommend it ... so obviously I cant help you with it [21:47] so compiz will work oncei install it on my hard drive corect? wow this is getting confusing [21:47] wiz_works: Does that installer get past the part of creating partitions and such before it tries to get packages ? [21:47] Hey I was wondering...how can I see what takes the most time when I boot [21:47] Guest11622 8.04 comes with compiz by default, you might need to install a video driver from system->admin->hardware drivers [21:47] wiz_works: the machine I have I can't nuke whats on it [21:47] how long does a debootstrap normally take? [21:47] shazzam: Yes. Just install it already [21:47] zelrikriando install bootchart [21:47] y wudnt u use it? [21:48] shazzam, Well probably.. If you have the correct hardware to render the graphics. [21:48] cuz its slwo [21:48] ASULutzy I am just saying he really needs to read and understand the wubi faq before he tries it [21:48] !u | shazzam [21:48] shazzam: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.

I haven't used in for a couple years [21:49] I have downloaded Ubuntu hardy Heron, and want to now upgrade my hoary dist (Pretty much a clean install) Is there a way i can do this using the iso without burning it to a cd?

[21:51] Miesco_: The actual release (not the beta) just came out today. So if you didn't do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in say, the past hour, then no you don't have it [21:51] howdy... was wondering if anyone could help me out.. everything was perfect for my 3D card but like a total dork i went and downloaded a new nvidia driver from nvidia's site, installed it.. now nothing works. anyone know how I can get rid of the new driver, and tell my machine to use the previous one? [21:51] wiz_works: Does that installer get past the part of creating partitions and such before it tries to get packages ?

Developers need time to package, test, consult with others, upload, mirror, etc. It will be at _least_ a few hours, likely a few days, possibly a few weeks, depending on how things go. [21:52] http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu [21:52] EvilDennisR: no, it asks a couple questions (menu driven) and asks you where to get packages from. It then get's the minimal packages to begin ethe installation (partitioning, etc) and then installs the base system. Very efficient. [21:52] anthony: it's already in some of the repositories. I've already installed ff3 from the hardy repository. [21:53] If I use the main repository will it have it? [21:53] ASULutzy: What makes you think it's the final one? [21:53] wiz_works: ok.. Just as long as its not gonna nuke this machine =) [21:53] EvilDennisR: it won't partition the drive without getting the packages. [21:53] an someone refer me to a how-to page on updating hardy to firefox 3.0? [21:53] xbj9000: Thanks, i'll search. [21:53] wiz_works: I'm burning the iso now.. msg me the url to the repository [21:53] anthony: because it's called firefox-3.0 and not firefox-3.0b5 etc [21:53] anthony: it's the final one, would you like the output of my locate firefox? [21:53] ahh, Im using main server for now on, more up to date, didn't know that [21:54] EvilDennisR: ok, opening the server to the public... be a few secs.... [21:54] Hmm, that still could be an RC, although you might be right. Lemme see if I can find better data to go from. [21:54] what is it? sudo aptitude install firefox-3.0 ? [21:54] it is in the repos. [21:54] Okay is firefox 3 in the ubuntu repository or not [21:54] Okay [21:54] YES [21:54] sysrpl: if you already have firefox installed you should do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [21:54] Well why cant I get it [21:55] sysrpl: It's just sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade if the mirror you are using alraedy has it [21:55] Miesco_: it might not be in the mirror you're using [21:55] Hey, I'm having quite vexxing issues with sound.

[22:21] yes [22:21] Felonious install ntfsprogs, and use ntfslabel [22:21] i got the tar.bz2 but i have no idea how to install it and couldn't find any instructions for firefox 3 that wasn't for the beta's [22:21] ok [22:22] i typed ls and it said neuiz underneath it [22:22] nexiuz* [22:22] so far i've downloaded and extracted it...anyone know what's the next step?

[22:53] I tried sudo apt-get install firefox and it wouldn't work for some reason. [22:53] Oswy: Hmm.. you are using the Dapper repos, right? You didn't change any of your software sources?

[22:54] How do I make it so when I do a "sudo apt-get install vlc" it doesn't try and install the gay vlc-plugin-pulse? [22:54] Reformer81: it's not in the repo is it ? [22:54] Oswy: To be honest, I'm not even positive that FF3 will run in Dapper. [22:54] Argh. [22:54] ikonia: Not the Dapper repos, no. It has FF2 [22:54] More reason to update, then. [22:54] Err, I'm actually on Edgy, sry. [22:54] Oswy: It doesn't take long to do a clean install of Hardy. Do you have a separate /home/ partition? [22:54] dobranoc [22:54] My hard drive's pretty messed up. [22:55] snap|l3thal Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions .. then /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file. [22:55] to be honest, im not sure ff3 will run... at all... since i have been testing it today, and the memory leaks are still there, the bad rendering is still there and the theft of the IE visuals is still there [22:55] I have to totally reform it sometime. [22:55] What the? Why is it telling me the partition on which ubuntu is installed is W95 FAT32?! [22:55] Whatever, I'll install Hardy first and then try again. [22:55] ubuntu cant run on fat32... [22:55] Vixus: where is it telling you that ? [22:55] ikonia: fdisk -l [22:55] Oswy: hardy already has firefox 3 beta in it [22:55] Oswy: If your hard drive is a mess and you're running such an old version of Ubuntu, I think it would be a good idea to spend a couple of hours cleaning your hard drive, creating backups, and then just cleanly installing Hardy. It's a HUGE improvement over Edgy. [22:55] Vixus: thats not the file system, thats the partition type [22:55] Err is there a quick way for me to move all my system files onto a different hard drive? [22:55] hrmmm... no netcard is shown in Networking... [22:55] vixus: are you in dos? [22:55] Yeah, I'll do that in a couple of weeks once I finish my finals. [22:55] !clone [22:55] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [22:56] Oswy: mount and copy [22:56] Oswy: Of course there is... just copy those files there :) [22:56] k [22:56] Heh. [22:56] anyone? [22:56] guardia: Nope... ubuntu rescue mode bash [22:56] Fair enough. [22:56] I'll work on that, then, thanks. [22:56] Oswy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:56] also, why is firefox distributed with ubuntu when its not real free software? [22:56] Does inkscape always print an extra blank page when printing to a PDF ? [22:56] ikonia: Is it because I tried grub-install? And what's the difference between partition type and filesystem? [22:56] Right, sorry, habit. [22:56] Bizzeh: how is it not free *yawn* [22:56] Oswy: I would recommend, however, only copying your files from /home. All the other system files are going to be too outdated to be useful on a new Hardy install anyway. [22:56] bizzeh, its real free software. the logo isnt. if you dont like that install iceweasel [22:56] Bizzeh Feel free to discuss it in #Ubuntu-offtopic [22:57] How can I get VLC without pulseaudio? [22:57] /home has the Desktop and everything as well, right? [22:57] Bizzeh: Firefox is open source, afaik. [22:57] Vixus: a partition type is for "detection" and identification purposes, nothing more really [22:57] Reformer81, hes talking about the artwork, which isnt gpl [22:57] Vixus: just use fdisk on it and change the partition type to "82" [22:57] firefox is open source, it is not entirely free. Several elements are restricted by the EULA, including the trademarked Firefox name, artwork, and the proprietary Talkback crash reporter [22:57] Oswy: Yes. It contains the personal files for ALL the users on your system. [22:57] Bizzeh: Firefox's GPL software license makes it free software [22:57] ikonia: Well, ok.. [22:57] Bizzeh, the crash reporter inst in linux. [22:57] Bizzeh: ubuntu does not push "free" software, it includeds what it wants [22:57] I'll just do that, thne, thx. [22:57] m-c: but firefox has non-free non-gpl linked right into it [22:57] tunix u still here? [22:58] Bizzeh: Oh well [22:58] Bizzeh: not everything in ubuntu is free [22:58] Oswy: We're here if you need anything. And trust me, you're going to LOVE Hardy if you're used to Edgy :) [22:58] Az, hey also, im in my rotuer, there is a place for port forwarding and triggering. under server ip address, should i put the internet or real ip address? and how far should i go on starting and ending port? [22:58] ikonia: then why is mp3 not there as default? because ubuntu are trying to puss ogg/vorbis and flac [22:58] !ot | Bizzeh ikonia [22:58] Bizzeh ikonia: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:58] Bizzeh: country restrictions [22:59] Bizzeh Feel free to discuss it in #Ubuntu-offtopic Please stop the non-support discussion [22:59] Pici, do you think its worth stating in the topic that downloading firefox thru the repos wont add a count to the world record? [22:59] can i boot directly into a shell like i do on a liveCD so i'm not accessing and therefore can umount my disks? [22:59] ajhtiredwolf - got my im? [22:59] Jack_Sparrow: well, im still waiting for an answer to my support question, which i feel that i could possibly waiting untill the end of time for [23:00] Bizzeh: whats the support question [23:00] Wireless working before on my ThinkPad T41p, now its not working. How do i re-enable wireless card? [23:00] Bizzeh that doesnt change the offtopic conversation [23:00] ikonia: Didn't change. [23:00] ikonia: Anyway all I want to do is reinstall Grub.. it shouldn't this hard :P [23:00] Vixus: did you do "w" to "write" the changes, and then reboot ? [23:00] > Ubuntu hardy [23:00] Vixus: it's not hard at all [23:00] hello, "browse device" in right of the bluetooth tray icon is greyed, whats happening ? [23:00] ikonia: I can't reboot right now.. [23:01] Vixus: and thats why it's not changed, that disk is in use so can't change the partition type [23:01] ikonia: Ok, but I'd like to get grub installed before I reboot : ) [23:02] Vixus: ok, so what's the problem re-installing ? [23:02] Bizzeh: what is your support question, I can't see it ? [23:02] ikonia: Attempting grub-install /dev/hda1 (windows partition) OR /dev/hdb1 (llinux partition) just results in: /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.. [23:02] is it possible with grub to set the "default" command in menu.lst to -1 or "last" or something like that, so no matter how many entrys there are within the menu.lst the last one is always selected [23:02] Vixus: you don't install to a partition [23:03] Vixus: /dev/hda should not be the correct name of a disk in ubuntu 7.10 and later [23:03] I'm starting to lose hope [23:03] ikonia: I'm using ubuntu studio 8.04.. [23:03] Vixus: you install grub to the master boot record of a disk, and all disks should now be reference via scsi names (/dev/sda for example) [23:03] Vixus: thats later than 7.10 then [23:03] Anyone installed ET and anyone installed True COmbat ELite? [23:03] Been beating my head against this same wall w/ no progress for two days now [23:03] Bizzeh: I don't believe that functionality exists [23:03] Bizzeh and you were told a way to get it to work.. .. I dont think you can select the last entry in the way you want to select it [23:04] ikonia: Well, fdisk is giving me /dev/hdX [23:04] Vixus: fdisk is nothing to do with grub [23:04] ok [23:04] Vixus fdisk is giving you good info [23:04] Wireless working before on my ThinkPad T41p, now its not working. How do i re-enable wireless card on Hardy? [23:04] FF 3 final is out today, they are trying to set some record for most downloads in a day, if i wanted to download it from the FF server, would it just install over my RC release i have now? [23:05] Anyone ever installed ET ? [23:05] well, if i set it to say... 4 which would be vista.. and then ubuntu adds 2 new kernel entrys into it, does ubuntu automaticaly set it to 6 for me? [23:05] K^Holtz: I strongly suggest you don't do that [23:05] K^Holtz NOt the best choice [23:05] ikonia: I was following the majority of reinstall grub guides out there.. What should I be doing instead? === adam is now known as Guest77763 [23:05] Bizzeh no [23:05] alright then :), guess ill just wait for synaptic? [23:05] Bizzeh, maybe you can make it so the automagic kernel list is below the static list [23:05] why is that such a bad idea guys [23:06] Bizzeh, im not sure if that would work [23:06] Vixus: ubuntu uses a later version of libata so all disks are referenced via scsi names [23:06] ikonia: So grub-install /dev/sda1? [23:06] so, default saved and set savedefault in the vista entry, but not in the ubuntu entrys, and boot the vista entry once... [23:06] K^Holtz: because your using software outside the package manager, firefox is linked into a lot of the ubuntu desktop, so mesing with it is not wise [23:06] Vixus: no, I said you don't install grub to a partition [23:06] Vixus: you install it to the master boot record [23:06] then that saves the vista entry, but when i boot ubuntu, it doesnt update it from the vista entry to the ubuntu entry [23:06] ikonia: How do I do that? [23:07] Vixus: grub-install /dev/sda [23:07] Bizzeh, what do you mean it doesnt update? [23:07] Bizzeh, im pretty sure the thing you see in grub is the order it appears in the menu,lst [23:07] Hello every1!!! [23:07] ikonia: /dev/sda not found or not a block device [23:08] Vixus: thats interesting, so if you do it against the older /dev/hda naming how does that work [23:08] polygon89: you dont seem to understand what im trying to do [23:08] but i think i worked it out [23:08] ikonia: gotcha, thanks for the warning. Just wish ubuntu had quicker releases. And i understand that its a main feature of ubuntu not to let programs autoupdate, but that doesnt mean i have to like it, i find it a lil annoying [23:08] K^Holtz: firefox is out today ??? how do you expect ubuntu to respond any quicker ? [23:09] K^Holtz: your reasoning is flawed [23:09] HELP!!! can get my speakers working on my laptop [23:09] does ubuntu have dist-upgrade? [23:09] neonlightning: yes === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [23:09] apt-get dist-upgrade [23:09] HELP!!! can get my speakers working on my laptop [23:09] aptitude dist-upgrade [23:09] Nathan406: thats not how you ask a question [23:10] ikonia: what do u mean? i can get it from synaptic? ok, im not trying to start an argument, i thought it was a valid idea, why would you say its flawed? i understand the security issues that are associated, but what other reasoning is there? [23:10] its a Sorry! [23:10] ikonia: It has installed.. now I can't shutdown -r because it's telling me connection refused.. [23:10] hi, where do i drop the new firefox [23:10] k because i've just tried sidux and am not pleased by any means and not sure where my fedura 9 cd is and the only other ones i have are for my audio creation aside from an old version of ubuntu [23:10] K^Holtz: firefox was released today - to the world, no-one earlier, how do you expect ubuntu build, package, test and intergrate into the package manager on the day of world wide release ? [23:10] K^Holtz, ltz, as in the firefox 3 final release just came out earlier today. So saying that ubuntu is slow to get it out thse it just came out a few hours ago!ere is flawed cau [23:10] casdf: you don't [23:11] ikonia: answer = wait for the ubuntu release eh [23:11] casdf: correct [23:11] K^Holtz, is slow to get it out there is flawed cause it came out a few hours ago [23:11] ikonia: gotcha. [23:11] polygon89: im not referring to this specific instance, but other times they are slow also, pidgin for instance [23:11] ikonia, could run the binaries just not a good idea with a package managed distro right? [23:11] hardy has 3.0 already [23:12] Can someone please help me make my speakers work on my laptop? Its a Compaq Presario 2720us [23:12] beta5, but yeah [23:12] slackd00d: no, it has a beta [23:12] in backports 3.0 final is already there [23:12] ikonia: when you said my reasoning is flawed, were you referring to my idea of not allowing programs to auto update? could you just explain to me why its flawed? like i said, no arguments, just curiosity [23:12] slackd00d: I don't see "final" in backports [23:12] hey someone told me to install ntfsprogs... [23:12] look at the version number [23:12] K^Holtz, cause they want to make sure the programs are stable before they release them to the entire ubuntu userbase. What happens if there is a bug in a new release of pidgin that makes it so pidgin doesnt work? then the entirety of ubuntu cant use it and its a big PR fiasco [23:12] ikonia: Unfortunately I can't sudo. [23:12] how do I run it? [23:12] of the package [23:12] Can someone please help me make my speakers work on my laptop? Its a Compaq Presario 2720us. [23:12] K^Holtz: no, your idea about ubuntus "slow" to update packages is flawed [23:13] can somebody help me with envy for ubuntu 8.04, i went to the site but i can't find the link to download it or understand the instructions propertly [23:13] Vixus: is it complaining about localhost ? [23:13] slackd00d: thats not firefox 3 final [23:13] polygon89: wouldnt that be a PR fiasco for the Pidgin developers rather than the Ubuntu community? [23:13] ikonia: ok [23:13] hey all, does anyone know what package the man page for math.h is in? [23:14] hi [23:14] K^Holtz, nope. In breezy i think, they released a update to the nividia driver that had some critical bug in it that made it so if you installed it, x would fail to start. So everyone that got the update was without the gui. this spawned a lot of negative attention towards UBUNTU, not nvidia [23:14] envy problems guys and galls, for ubuntu 8.04 === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [23:14] !envy | chamuscas [23:14] chamuscas: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [23:15] test [23:15] chamuscas: pay attention to "unsupported" and varying results [23:15] ikonia: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 isnt final? [23:15] ikonia, tank you [23:15] ubottu, also tank you [23:15] Factoid also tank you not found [23:15] slackd00d: no [23:15] test [23:16] ikonia: oh, then what is it [23:16] polygon89: oh ok. Well i think its a shame that that is how the issue was viewed. If it broke a main component of windows or mac, i know that negative attention would have been focused on nvidia [23:16] slackd00d: ubuntu 3 code base [23:16] oh, thanks [23:16] slackd00d: I currently have firefox-3.0 package installed which is 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 which is RC1 [23:17] K^Holtz, it was just the fact that it was obvious little or no testing had been done with that update. if they had tested it before they released it then they would of found 'hey! it makes x crash, lets not release it yet' [23:17] ikonia: i have 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 that just updated so i thought it was final [23:18] slackd00d: I can't comment on that package, I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't just a snap shot rather than todays release [23:18] is it normal to get updates like every other hour after the upgrade to 8.04? [23:18] ikonia: i have 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 that just updated so i thought it was final <<< unfortunate naming convention [23:18] MrPocknix_: there are a few updates [23:18] Bizzeh: yes, not the clearest names [23:18] Has anyone installed ET?
